Import of Raw Materials
It is considered that the base of a manufacturing industry lies in its raw materials. Since the inception, the chairman cum director, Mr. J. P. Singh, from the Singh Group, plywood makers, realised the importance of best quality raw material-importing from the international market. Silvertoss Industries Pvt. Ptd. is the company that imports high-grade timber from the foreign markets and we at Sylvan Ply, obtain the raw materials from them for the manufacturing of plywood. Simply put, we are involved in the production and marketing of the plywood products within India.
American and New Zealand Pinewood made Block Board- fillers
We manufacture our block board- fillers with the American, and New Zealand imported wood. It allows the block-board more density than its counterparts. The resinous timber is highly fibrous, durable and termite resistant, which is mainly used for high-value carpentry. The low shrinkage capacity of the wood leads to more stability.
Finest quality of high- density timber
The timber, imported from the international sources, allows manufacturing the plywood of the best quality. The high-density wood gives the plywood a compact texture. The naturally straight grains of the timber makes the plywood warp-free with a dimensional stability.
The factory of Sylvan Ply is located at Baidyabati, Shrirampore, which is 45 Km from Kolkata. Equipped with the latest and highly advanced machinery and equipment, our factory is spread over a sprawling 100 acres. Apart from offering some of the most distinguishing features and innovative technologies, we proffer meticulous attention to details in every step of the way.

It results in one of the most superior and finest quality plywoods, which is at par with the International Standards. We imprint our sign on each and every product with a great sense of achievement.
Quality resin developed in-house
The in-house PF or MUF resin plant of Sylvan Ply is one of the country's most modern resin plants. The quality of the resin has been tested as per IS certification.

Looks like it froze for some reason. A svchost.exe was eating all the CPU and after I killed it, still the rpgwo 7 server was still stuck in non-responsive mode. Killed it and restarted and seems ok now.
Malwarebytes did find some crap on it yesterday and taskmgr was disabled. Got it back working and ran the rootkit scanner and it found nothing wrong.
I used to see a svchost.exe eating CPU every once in a while on that VM, so *shrugs* never figured it out.
Svchost is a part of the windows OS, so if it's eating up resources there's something else causing it to do so. You should be able to drill down and see more info.
Also I tried to download your apk and it disappears. Did you just RAT my phone? Lul.
I think the svchost.exe is legit but still annoying.
You probably need to set your phone to accept non-store APK... "Unknown Sources" setting somewhere.
Instead of opening link just click and hold link on phone then download link instead of open. Worked like a charm using chrome browser on phone.
Movement is weird, it feels robotic if that makes sense.
I punched some trees with health bars, it was ok.
There are plenty of free graphics packs out there to choose from. Maybe with walking frames, the movement wont feel so weird.
Glad you got in ok.... on Android?
Should have been some rats wondering around, maybe. They do need to spawn faster when a player shows up.
I do plan a walking animation.
I did spend some time researching artwork and what was available and what I could imitate.
Yeh, Android a pixel 2 if it matters.
I punched some rats too, no issues. The level 4 black rat killed me though.
Not much to give feedback on at this point. But nothing broken, which I guess is a win.

A third man has been released without charge after being arrested over an alleged terror plot to build a remote controlled car bomb.
The 21-year-old, from the Fir Vale in Sheffield, was one of five men held by police as part of an investigation by counter terrorism police.
He was arrested on December 29 and released today.
A West Yorkshire police spokesman said: 'We would like to reassure the public that public safety remains our priority at all times.
'Extensive inquiries have satisfied the investigation that there are no grounds to charge him with any offences.
Four other men were arrested in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire on December 19.
Two, aged 36 and 41 from Sheffield, were released without charge.
Chesterfield fish-and-chip shop owner Andy Star, 31, and Farhad Salah, 22, from Sheffield - have been charged with one count of engaging in the preparation of an act of terrorism.
The men, both Kurdish Iraqis, are due to appear at the Old Bailey in London on January 19.
Police were seen searching homes in Sheffield last week, after bringing the men into custody.
Terraced Hampton Road in the Fir Vale area, was sealed off following one man's arrest at about 11pm on December 29.
Mishair Nasir, 34, said: 'It was about 11pm last night.
'We saw 7-8 police cars pull up then a guy with shoulder-length hair opened the door and the police went in.
'We saw one older guy try and leave but police told him to stay inside.
Mrs Nasir's husband Elhadi, 40, said: 'There are too many different people living there so you don't know who is living there.
'But they don't cause any problems.
Another neighbour who did not want to be named said: 'The first I knew about it was hearing banging last night.
'Then we saw police and an ambulance - at first I thought there had been a murder.
'It's really scary though because you just don't know who's living next door.

Q: Sort a dictionary by values that are instance attributes I am currently working on a program written in Python 2.6.6. It uses a dictionary that looks like:
{ 'somekeystring': someobject("a name", 1, 3),
'anotherkey': someobject("another name", 2, 2),
'keythree': someobject("third name", 3, 1) }

The object has some attributes like:
name
startOrder
stopOrder

What I am trying to accomplish is to get the dictionary sorted. Once by someobject.startOrder, once by someobject.stopOrder.
I have tried
sortedByStartOrder = sorted(mydict.iteritems(), key=lambda x: x[1].startOrder)

but this does not seem to work. The list items are sorted in the same order, no matter if I use startOrder or stopOrder in the example above.
Any hints?

A: This example seems to work for me:
class P:
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x

d = { 'how': P(3), 'hi': P(2), 'you': P(5), 'are': P(4) }
print list(d.iteritems())
print sorted(d.iteritems(), key=lambda x: x[1].x)

produces
>> [('how', <__main__.P instance at 0x7f92028e52d8>), ('you', <__main__.P instance at 0x7f92028e5368>), ('hi', <__main__.P instance at 0x7f92028e5320>), ('are', <__main__.P instance at 0x7f92028e53b0>)]
>> [('hi', <__main__.P instance at 0x7fc210e6c320>), ('how', <__main__.P instance at 0x7fc210e6c2d8>), ('are', <__main__.P instance at 0x7fc210e6c3b0>), ('you', <__main__.P instance at 0x7fc210e6c368>)]

I'd guess the problem isn't in the sort itself; there might be something wrong in the structures you're trying to sort.

A: Thanks a lot for all your input! I wrote a simple example like Odexios' and it worked perfectly with
sortedByStartOrder = sorted(mydict.iteritems(), key=lambda x: x[1].startOrder)

The clue was:

I'd guess the problem isn't in the sort itself; there might be
  something wrong in the structures you're trying to sort.

I went through my code and found a code passage where I set both variables to 0.

A: You can define your own comparing function that is given to the sorted builtin in the keyword cmp.
def sort_by_start(obj1, obj2):
    # this is just an example using '>' and '<' as comparison operators
    # you can compare 1 and 2 using whatever methods you wish; just
    # return a negative number if 1 is less than 2, 0 if they are equal
    # or a positive number if 1 is greater than 2.
    if obj1.startOrder < obj2.startOrder:
        return -1
    if obj1.startOrder > obj2.startOrder:
        return 1
    else:
        return 0

sorted(mydict.iteritems(), cmp=sort_by_start, key=lambda x: x[1])

def sort_by_stop(obj1, obj2):
    # let's make this more specific: imagine `stopOrder` is a string,
    # but we need to remove a prefix before we sort them alphabetically
    common_prefix = 'id-'  # or whatever
    comp1 = obj1.stopOrder.lstrip(common_prefix)
    comp2 = obj2.stopOrder.lstrip(common_prefix)
    if comp1 < comp2:
        return -1
    if comp1 > comp2:
        return 1
    else:
        return 0

sorted(mydict.iteritems(), cmp=sort_by_stop, key=lambda x: x[1])

My first impression of Willow Creek as Ben and I turn up for the welcome meeting, only having been here once before over 10 years ago, is how big everything is. The campus is set on 155 acres of land with dedicated dual carriageway to take you from the public roads to the enormous car parks. Their new auditorium (which wasn't here last time I came) seats over 7,000 people and there are huge reception areas, eating areas and bookshop. It's all very high quality with beautifully maintained grounds, plasma screens displaying information everywhere, leather sofas and a real attention to detail. As we leave there's even a police car stopping the traffic on the main road so that we can get out of the exits as there are so many cars leaving. We may never have 155 acres but let's believe God, first of all for developing the excellent facilities we already have to the utmost, and then for the new facilities we will need as we grow towards being a church of 2,000 and beyond, and God adds new ministries to us. Projects such as air conditioning the auditorium, upgrading our PA and making more space for children and youth on Sundays must be priorities for us.
The second thing I notice is all the volunteers they have. People maintaining the grounds, welcoming you, serving food, serving in the bookshop, waving light sticks showing us the way to go as we drive out of the car park after the meeting - as J John would say "they're everywhere". It's been so exciting for me the last few weeks in Bracknell to have all the new car parkers and welcomers serving. I do believe that God wants The Kerith Centre and K2 on a Sunday to be "the most welcoming place in Bracknell", and that means teams of volunteers updating the website, working on the grounds midweek, getting the building ready for Sunday, car parking, welcoming on the door, meeting visitors in reception and showing them where to register their children and answering their questions, manning sign up desk for Alpha and other courses, running the Connect event for newcomers and fully staffing our youth and childrens work. Loads of hard work but so worth it when we see the lives of people who don't know God being changed.
One bit of excitement today was that as we were about to start our welcome meeting someone came in to say there had been a tornado warning and we all needed to go to the ground floor. We were then taken to a room on the ground floor with no windows to wait for the all clear. I've seen those films before where they go chasing tornadoes in cars but apparently no one thought it would be a good idea for Ben and I to take the rental car out to try and find the tornado - no sense of fun!
The conference proper starts tomorrow. Bill Hybels came and spoke briefly to the overseas delegates today and in about 15 minutes managed to say enough to have made it feel like we'd have come all this way just for that. I'll let you know how it feels after a full session from him tomorrow!
Sorry not to have time to write in detail about the New Community meeting (which Craig who arrived today got here in time for - great to have him with us) but I need to get to sleep now as we're leaving early to get to the conference and I'm not good at mornings!
Your excitement about the event is obvious Simon - looking forward to the next installment!
Hi Mark. Thanks for the comment. Just finished the write up of day one - hope you enjoy it.

Q: Is there an equivalent of `tail -f` in Perl? I'm writing a script that listens for changes to a log file and acts appropriately. At the moment I'm using open my $fh, "tail -f $logfile |"; but ideally I don't want to use system calls.
I've tried File::Tail but it has a minimum interval of 1 second (I've tried passing less but it defaults to 1 second, even if I pass 0). I've checked the source for it and it seems to be using sleep() which takes an integer. Before I try to write my own, are there any other options?
Thanks.

A: *

*Did you know that tail -f also uses a 1-second sleep by default? It's true! (At least for GNU tail...)

*File::Tail actually uses Time::HiRes's sleep function, which means that the sleep time parameter isn't an integer; you can set it to any fractional number of seconds that your system can deal with.

A: There's a lot of good stuff in the documentation, including an answer to this exact question. From perlfaq5's answer to How do I do a "tail -f" in perl?

First try
seek(GWFILE, 0, 1);

The statement seek(GWFILE, 0, 1) doesn't change the current position, but it does clear the end-of-file condition on the handle, so that the next  makes Perl try again to read something.
If that doesn't work (it relies on features of your stdio implementation), then you need something more like this:
for (;;) {
  for ($curpos = tell(GWFILE); <GWFILE>; $curpos = tell(GWFILE)) {
    # search for some stuff and put it into files
  }
  # sleep for a while
  seek(GWFILE, $curpos, 0);  # seek to where we had been
}

If this still doesn't work, look into the clearerr method from IO::Handle, which resets the error and end-of-file states on the handle.
There's also a File::Tail module from CPAN.

A: CPAN has File::ChangeNotify

A: In my opinion there is nothing wrong with using tail -f pipe like you already do.  In many situations going for language purity like "no system calls" is counterproductive.
Also, I've seen problems with File::Tail in long-running processes.  Unfortunately I cannot corroborate this claim with any hard evidence since it happened quite some time ago, I did not debug the problems, replacing the use of File::Tail with a tail -F pipe instead.

Russia's Defense Ministry: Over 100 rescued from Azovstal
By Al Mayadeen Net
The Russian Ministry of Defense says over 100 people were rescued from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.
A man walks past a destroyed residential building, Mariupol, Ukraine April 17, 2022 (Reuters)
More than 100 refugees have been rescued over the weekend from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
The Ministry said that on Saturday alone, 21 people left the plant, and another 25 left their houses, which were located nearby, with all 46 deciding to stay in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
Since Saturday, 101 hostages left Mariupol over the weekend, with 32 of them deciding to stay in the DPR.
"On the second day of the operation, May 1, another 80 civilians held by Ukrainian nationalists were rescued from the plant; they were given shelter and food and offered medical assistance as needed. Eleven rescued citizens made a voluntary decision to remain in the Donetsk People's Republic," the Ministry told reporters on Sunday.
Another 69 civilians decided to go to Ukraine and were transferred to officials from the UN and the Red Cross. The Ministry said the convoy was being protected by Russian troops.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Sunday that Ukraine's "hysterical" desire to take militants out of Mariupol's Azovstal plant is related to the fact that these militants can confirm the presence of active officers, as well as mercenaries, from Western armies.
"The situation with the confrontation at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol and the persistent, even hysterical desire of Zelenskyy, his team and his Western patrons to achieve the withdrawal of all these people and send them to the territory of Ukraine is due to the fact that there are many characters who will confirm the presence of mercenaries, maybe acting officers of Western armies on the side of Ukrainian radicals," Lavrov told Italian broadcaster Mediaset.

"My name is Gregory. I live in London and I get support from Norwood. I go to a group called the Jewish Way of Life where I learn lots of different things. I also like going to the Jewish Care Michael Sobel Centre in Golders Green.
My Shul is really near my house. I used to see people going to shul and I wanted to go too. I had help from staff at Norwood to meet the Rabbi and to start going to shul. We talked about what I should do in Shul, like where to sit, not talking in the service and to introduce me to people.
Going to Shul is an important part of my religion because I am Jewish. I have friends there now. I see them every Saturday. I really enjoy the service and the kiddish. I get called up to open the ark.
Last Pesach I went to a community Seder and I read a prayer – I felt really proud of myself. I took another friend who lives with me, with me, because she is Jewish too and wanted to come.
I like reading the Shul magazine because I am part of that. I was in the last magazine!
I have been shopping to buy a talis to wear when I go to Shul.
When the Chief Rabbi came to my Shul I met him, which was very exciting.

RALLY Australia's status as a world leader in environmental sustainability in motorsport has been confirmed after it achieved a major award for a second time this week.
The FIA Institute for Sustainability, part of the world motorsport governing body, announced its highest environmental standard, the Achievement of Excellence, had been awarded to Rally Australia following a recent audit.
The organisers of Australia's round of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) were praised for their post-event report and carbon footprint calculations, which the FIA said reflected their sustainability knowledge.
Now in its 25th year, Rally Australia has hosted the WRC on the New South Wales Coffs Coast since 2011. It will close the 2016 series with Kennards Hire Rally Australia on 17-20 November.
In 2013, Rally Australia became the first motorsport event in the world to receive the Achievement of Excellence award for environmental sustainability, which is backed by the FIA's Action for Environment campaign.
Subsequently, the rally was also confirmed as the first FIA-regulated event to achieve Carbon Neutral Status.
The FIA Institute's latest announcement also awarded the Achievement of Excellence to WRC Rally Sweden for the first time and confirmed second-level Progress Towards Excellence status for WRC Rally Portugal.
All events in the FIA World Rally Championship will have to achieve accreditation under the FIA Action for Environment campaign and the FIA Institute Sustainability Programme by the end of the 2016.
Rally Australia's new achievement was welcomed by FIA Institute Deputy President and FIA Environmental Delegate Garry Connelly AM.
"I am delighted to recognise the highest award in the Sustainability Programme again to Rally Australia and to the SBF (Swedish Automobile Sport Federation) for the first time," Mr Connelly said.
"I am also very pleased to see that Rally Portugal is now at the level of Progress Towards Excellence.
Rally Australia's ongoing environmental program, managed by specialist consultant Colin Trinder, undertakes extensive measures to protect and preserve the local Coffs Coast environment. It seeks to ensure the lowest possible impact from the presence of thousands of visitors attending the four-day event.
Event Chairman Ben Rainsford said the second FIA Institute Achievement of Excellence award was an important milestone for the organiser and the host region.
"We're fortunate to stage Kennards Hire Rally Australia in a region rich with pristine natural attractions and that we have an opportunity to showcase this to the world," he said.

At 6:00 a.m., when I'm assembling my breakfast English muffin, I don't need to deal with hard butter. This gizmo deals quite handily with the task. I now have soft, spreadable butter whenever I want it. Super, low-maintenance idea!
Love, love, love it. Makes using soft butter the only way to go. It is attractive and dishwasher safe.
Would like to see a double wide to hold two sticks of butter. Very handy.
MUCH better than the dish I had!. Love that it opens without having to place the lid somewhere else on the counter (spreads the butter, plus takes up space on the countertop!) Love that it has it's own little knife AND A PLACE TO PUT IT - so countertop nor top of butter dish gets knife butter.
I purchased a Butterie for myself last year because I wanted a red butter dish and I liked the idea that I didn't have to set the lid on the table while I used it. Much to my surprise it hold two sticks of butter at one time so I don't have hard butter because no one replaces it when it gets low because there is room for two sticks. My friends love it also so I have purchased two more so far as gifts. It is the best butter dish I have ever owned.
I love using real butter, and this wonderful dish and spreader help keep my butter "spread-ready."
Excellent product Love having soft butter for my bread and rolls. Easy to clean.
I received this item very quickly & it was packaged well to prevent any damage. However, it is a gift for someone whose birthday hasn't happened yet.
I like this unique & ingenious item very much. Only hope that the birthday person also likes it. He now keeps sticks of butter on the original wrapper which is placed on a small plate that's kept inside a convenient kitchen cabinet. I think this butter dish will keep his butter protected from dust, etc. and having a dedicated butter knife that stores in the dish will be handy.
It may even mean that he will decide to keep this butter dish on the kitchen counter instead of in the cupboard?
No more dropping the butter dish lid! Love the design, washability and appearance. Bought one for myself and three for gifts.
I absolutely love having my butter softer and more spreadable. This was the perfect solution. Attractive and functional.
Butterie™ creator Joelle Mertzel made her own countertop butter dish when she learned that butter doesn't have to go in the fridge, and that storing it at room temperature can enhance the flavor.
Before refrigerators existed, everyone kept their butter in a crock on the counter or in a cabinet. Joelle took that idea and improved upon it. Her dish has a flip-top lid that blocks light and reduces the butter's exposure to oxygen, helping it stay fresh for longer.


Mysteries of #Gravity: Why we enjoy a SciFi film set in make-believe space more than we enjoy actual people set in real space.
Why Bullock's hair, in otherwise convincing zero-G scenes, did not float freely on her head.
Satellite communications were disrupted at 230 mi up, but communications satellites orbit 100x higher.
Nearly all satellites orbit Earth west to east yet all satellite debris portrayed orbited east to west.
Why anyone is impressed with a zero-G film 45 years after being impressed with "2001:A Space Odyssey."
When Clooney releases Bullock's tether, he drifts away. In zero-G a single tug brings them together.

How Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another.
Astronaut Clooney informs medical doctor Bullock what happens medically during oxygen deprivation.
None of which means he didn't have fun watching the movie, but if anyone is ever going to stand still and be quiet when science is at stake, it's probably not going to be him.

I am trying to set up a custom User Interface for a Project. It includes 5 pushbuttons and a rotary encoder which are connected to an arduino mega over I2C Bus. They should only be read when a user input has occured. Therefore an Interrupt routine has been set up.
Currently it only sets one Bit that is constantly polled to trigger the Wire read routine because Wire read cant be used in the ISR Routine.
This works, but is definitly not an ideal way, as it will lead top timing problems soon.
Here is some test code i have written. It works, but it does not in my final code. Serial Output will be replaced by other functions.
Explain why! Usually this doesn't pose problems if you structure your code correctly and avoid any delay() calls.
That's how I normally do it. My ISRs are just to set flags. After the flag, the processing would be done in the loop function. That way, I don't spend too long in the ISR. For those that don't know, if you run I2C read in an ISR, it will hang the system which is why you don't want to do an I2C operation from an ISR.
The problem is that im using time intense functions. In my code its the U8G2 library that uses about 100 ms for a complete refresh of an 256*64 display. This leads to inputs not being recognized when the display is currently loading.
So you have to restructure your code to run more efficiently or check the flags more often. It even may end in not using the U8G2 library if it consumes to much processing power without the possibility to do other stuff.
Calling any I2C function inside an interrupt handler is not possible as the I2C code itself depends on interrupts to happen. The Wire library waits in many situations in while loops until an interrupt set some flags. As interrupts are disabled during interrupt handlers, these while loops will never end and your code freezes.
If you post your code we might find a way to make it more cooperative to user input. The code posted above won't have the described problem.


The visit is a collection of firsts. It is the first trip by Prince Mohammed bin Salman — known universally as "MBS" — to the U.S. since becoming the heir to the oil kingdom's throne in June 2017. (President Trump's first presidential trip to the Middle East began with a stop in Saudi Arabia.) More importantly, it is the first time a senior Saudi official, let alone a ruling royal, will venture outside the U.S. capital to make official visits to Wall Street, Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Never before has a crown prince — especially one who runs Saudi Arabia's government on a daily basis — come to America's financial and cultural capitals to do business. Indeed, MBS is hoping to drum up support for his plan to offer five percent of ARAMCO, the Saudi oil producer, to Western investors as well as to make investments in software upstarts and media empires. This is a Saudi royal who sees no division between commerce and statecraft, between diplomacy and investment.

La Aston Martin Cygnet è un'automobile prodotta dalla casa automobilistica inglese Aston Martin dal 2011 al 2013.

Si tratta di un'utilitaria 2+2 posti, rebadging della Toyota IQ, dalla quale eredita la quasi totalità dei componenti.

Il contesto
La Cygnet è uscita sul mercato a gennaio 2011, inizialmente solo nel Regno Unito, per poi essere venduta negli altri paesi europei entro il 2012. Le vendite della vettura non sono ristrette ad alcun tipo di clientela, tuttavia la casa britannica riconosceva la priorità di vendita ai clienti già in possesso di altri suoi modelli. L'Ad di Aston Martin dichiarò una previsione di vendita di circa 4.000 esemplari l'anno.

Il modello

La Cygnet condivide pianale, carrozzeria, gruppo motore-trasmissione e parte degli interni con la Toyota iQ. In comune si può notare, per esempio, la console centrale e il volante.

Il prezzo di partenza, in Italia, ammontava a 39.150 € (ma in alcune versioni, optional esclusi, poteva superare i 50.000 €), contro i circa 12.000 € dell'originale giapponese, un prezzo pari ad automobili di categoria superiore; l'aumento di più di tre, anche quattro volte il prezzo originale sarebbe giustificato, secondo la casa, dalla maggior cura e qualità degli interni e dei materiali; questo nonostante nell'abitacolo siano comunque visibili alcuni componenti e plastiche Toyota.

Al contrario delle altre automobili del marchio, la Cygnet è equipaggiata con il motore Toyota a 4 cilindri in linea da 1,3 litri, capace di erogare 99 CV (73 kW) e dalle emissioni inquinanti molto più parche rispetto alle altre sportive di casa Aston Martin. L'immissione sul mercato di questo modello, infatti, permette alla casa di abbassare la media delle emissioni emanate dalla flotta di vetture prodotte da Aston Martin, per rientrare nei nuovi parametri anti-inquinamento dell'Unione europea

Per il 2013 è stata prevista una versione elettrica, mai entrata in produzione, e un curioso prototipo dotato del motore 6.0 V12 delle altre Aston Martin, anch'esso mai prodotto. Nel 2018, tuttavia, Aston Martin ha prodotto, su richiesta di un cliente, un singolo esemplare dotato di motore V8 da 4.7 litri e 470 cavalli, presentato al Goodwood Festival of Speed dello stesso anno. A differenza del modello di serie, questo esemplare è dotato di trazione posteriore e può raggiungere una velocità massima di 274 chilometri orari. Il prezzo non è stato dichiarato al pubblico.

Ricezione del mercato
Al momento del lancio del modello, molti detrattori avevano predetto un enorme flop nelle vendite, per via della differenza con i prodotti tradizionali della casa. Le vendite della Cygnet durante il primo anno sembrerebbero effettivamente confermare tali previsioni pessimistiche, ma Ulrich Bez (Ad di Aston Martin e forte promotore del progetto dell'"utilitaria") ha dichiarato che il basso livello delle vendite sarebbe stato causato dalla scarsità del parco auto a disposizione, e della lentezza con cui gli stabilimenti producono le vetture richieste.

Nel settembre 2013, anche a seguito della nuova amministrazione di Andrea Bonomi, è stata annunciata la fine della produzione del modello a causa delle scarse vendite ottenute. Sempre Ulrich Bez ha dichiarato che la cessazione del modello è dovuta al fatto che, nel 2014, la Toyota iQ sarebbe uscita di produzione, ma è anche vero che uno dei primi obiettivi della nuova gestione del marchio inglese era proprio quello di togliere dal mercato la Cygnet, essendo un modello non in linea con la storia di Aston Martin e rivelatasi, alla prova dei fatti, un insuccesso di vendite e di immagine.

Policing performance: the impact of performance targets on police forces in England and Wales
Barry Loveday
School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
This paper considers the impact of performance management and the application of targets on public services, particularly the police service. It identifies the unintended consequences of targets on the delivery of service and notes that in 1999 HMIC were to raise serious doubts as to the value of this management approach for public policing in England and Wales. It considers the impact of 'micro-management' on services that performance management ultimately represents. It goes on to reassess the purported attractions of performance management and presents an alternative in terms of a more holistic and local management approach based on a 'systems' application which highlights the value of local feedback as a driver for service delivery. It challenges the highly centralised and mechanistic orientation which performance management, as pursued by New Labour, now represents. It concludes by arguing that a 'systems approach' would fit well within the planned roll-out of the new Neighbourhood Policing strategy while also providing a sound platform for the Basic Command Unit reform proposals recently identified by an influential police association.

Evaluating Online Health Information
The number of websites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many online health resources are useful, but others may present information that is inaccurate or misleading, so it's important to find sources you can trust and to know how to evaluate their content. This guide provides tips for finding reliable websites and outlines things to consider when evaluating health information from websites and social media sources.
Checking Out a Health Website: Five Quick Questions
If you're visiting a health website for the first time, these five quick questions can help you decide whether the site is a helpful resource.
Who runs the website? Can you trust them?
Any reliable health-related website should make it easy for you to learn who's responsible for the site. If it isn't obvious who runs the website, look for a link on the homepage to an "About Us" page.
You can also learn about who runs a website by looking at the letters at the end of its web address. For example, web addresses that end in ".gov" mean it's a government-sponsored site; ".edu" indicates an educational institution, ".org" a noncommercial organization, and ".com" a commercial organization.
You should know how the site supports itself. Is it funded by the organization that sponsors it? Does it sell advertising? Is it sponsored by a company that sells dietary supplements, drugs, or other products or services? The source of funding can affect what content is presented, how it's presented, and what the site owners want to accomplish.
What does the site say? Do its claims seem too good to be true?
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You can be more confident in the quality of medical information on a website if people with credible professional and scientific qualifications review the material before it's posted. Some websites have an editorial board that reviews content. Others put the names and credentials of the individuals who reviewed a web page in an Acknowledgments section near the end of the page.
When was the information posted or reviewed? Is it up-to-date?
Some types of outdated medical information can be misleading or even dangerous. Responsible health websites review and update much of their content on a regular basis. To find out whether information on a web page is old or new, look for a date on the page (it's often near the bottom).
Where did the information come from? Is it based on scientific research?
Many health/medical sites post information collected from other websites or sources. If the person or organization in charge of the site didn't create the material, the original source should be clearly identified.
In addition to identifying the source of the material you're reading, the site should describe the evidence (such as articles in medical journals) that the material is based on. Also, opinions or advice should be clearly set apart from information that's "evidence-based" (that is, based on research results). Keep in mind that testimonials, anecdotes, unsupported claims, and opinions aren't the same as objective, evidence-based information.
Why does the site exist? Is it selling something?
The site's purpose is related to who runs and pays for it. The About Us page should include a clear statement of purpose. To be sure you're getting reliable information, you should confirm information that you find on any sales sites by consulting other, independent sites where no products are sold. Be especially wary of advertising posing as news. If you suspect that a news site is fake, look for a disclaimer somewhere on the page (often in small print) that indicates that the site is an advertisement.
