Russia's flagship nuclear icebreaker to cross northern seas, worrying neighboring states
MURMANSK – Russia's 50 Let Pobedy (Fifty Years of Victory), the flagship of the Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet, departs on January 27 from its port of registration, Murmansk, setting out on a voyage to the Baltic Sea, where it is expected to convoy capsize bulk carriers calling into ports of the Gulf of Finland – a prospect that has Russia's northern neighbors concerned over the risks of a nuclear vessel passing along their coastlines.

This year, the 2007-built 50 Years of Victory has been chartered to escort cargo ships in the Baltic Sea for a period of 100 days – a second such contract sought by the federal state-owned port development enterprise Rosmorport since the extremely challenging ice situation in the gulf last winter, when the 1989-built icebreaker Vaigach (or Vaygach) was urgently dispatched to this heavy-traffic shipping area and remained there for 51 days, steering over 260 commercial vessels out of the treacherous ice traps to their destinations.
According to information on the official website of the Russian State Nuclear Corporation Rosatom, which has purview over the Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet via its entity called Atomflot, this year, a special communications system has been introduced to coordinate the 50 Years of Victory's movements and monitor all incoming requests for pilotage in real time – a step that is expected to help streamline the steering operations.
Once in the Baltic Sea, the 50 Years of Victory is expected mostly to aid the passage of heavy-tonnage tankers with a draft greater than that of the icebreaker, said Atomflot's deputy general director for fleet operation Andrei Smirnov.
The Arktika class icebreaker's dimensions are similar to those of the Vaigach – around 30 meters across the beam – while the additional ten meters in length overall that the 50 Years of Victory has over the Vaigach should not affect its maneuverability, Smirnov said: The vessel is considerably more powerful than the Vaigach, which is a river icebreaker of Taimyr class.
Launched in 2007, the 50 Years of Victory is touted as Russia's newest and largest, a vessel that is unrivalled in the global commercial icebreaker fleet. It has two reactors on board with a combined power capacity of 54 megawatts, yielding around 75,000 horsepower, and is commonly used to convoy ships moving along Russia's Arctic coastline. In 2008, it was also chartered for a series of passenger cruises to the North Pole.
Norway's concerns
The icebreaker is scheduled to spend three or four days moving along Norway's western and southern coasts, after which it will appear on the Danish and Swedish radars, and will then enter Finland's territorial waters the following week.
The Norwegian authorities are expected to monitor the 50 Years of Victory's progress with special attention. Once out of Murmansk's basin, the world's largest icebreaker will head westbound toward Norway's Nordkapp, then turn southward and move along the coast until it reaches the Skagerrak, a strait lying between the southwestern coast of Sweden and Denmark's Jutland Peninsula, with Norway's southern coast just up north. The Skagerrak connects the North Sea with the Kattegat sea area, which leads out into the destination area, the Baltic Sea.
In a conversation with Bellona, Atomflot's press service admitted the operator company was somewhat baffled by the nervousness Russia's neighbors have shown with regard to the icebreaker's anticipated route.
"Both the ministries of foreign affairs of the [concerned] European countries and Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) were informed already in mid-January about the deployment of the nuclear icebreaker in the Gulf of Finland within the specified period," Atomflot's press service told Bellona.
Atomflot believes the concerns – specifically those expressed by Norway – may have to do with a rescheduling that will delay the icebreaker's entry into the Gulf of Finland.
"The delay was due to planned maintenance. Last night, the icebreaker left for a trial trip in the vicinity of the island of Kildin, it returned to Murmansk late at night, and is currently departing from its registration port, Murmansk, and is on its way to the Baltic Sea," a representative of Atomflot's press service told Bellona on Friday, January 27.
Bellona's expert Igor Kudrik said Norway is hopeful that "nothing serious will happen at the reactor plant on board of the icebreaker as it travels along the Norwegian coast en route to the Baltic Sea."
He said the good news is that because the vessel has a displacement of over 5,000 tons, the icebreaker's operator company has an obligation to inform authorities in Norway of the details of the passage, and the relevant services will be able to instruct the crew on a route lying at a sufficient distance from the shoreline.
The Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority's Yngvar Bratvedt told Bellona that his agency was ready to respond should something go wrong and will closely watch the icebreaker's movements.
"We will keep the radiation safety agencies of other Nordic countries informed in due manner. We will also keep [regional] administrations and emergency committees informed," Bratvedt said.
Should an accident develop on board the 50 Years of Victory, the captain is to notify the authorities of the state near which the icebreaker is passing. According to Bellona's Kudrik, however, Norway's coastal guards do not have experience responding to accidents on nuclear-powered vessels with reactor systems in distress.
This is the cause of the concerns Norway is having regarding the 50 Years of Victory's passage along its coastline, and they may not be completely without reason: Last December, a fire broke out on board of the Vaigach, killing two crew members. And in May last year, loss of seal in a welding seam led to a coolant leak in the primary loop of the reactor on board of the Taimyr (or Taymyr), a sister river icebreaker of the same class as the Vaigach. And another accident on board a nuclear vessel contributed to the less than perfect record of Russia's nuclear fleet last New Year's eve – this time, a fire involving a Delta-IV-class nuclear-powered submarine, the Yekaterinburg, while it was docked in a shipping yard near Murmansk.
Bellona's nuclear and radiation safety Nils Bohmer says these are all incidents that have both the Oslo-based environmental NGO and authorities in Norway worry about potential risks associated with nuclear vessels.
"We fear that such incidents may also be possible on board of the 50 Years of Victory, which will be moving quite close to the Norwegian shore," said Bohmer, himself a nuclear physicist. "Weather conditions [here] in winter could be rather severe. One wouldn't want any accidents to happen on that vessel while it's on its way passing near Norway."

Kelly's Kitchen

Locations: 17 roadside restaurants
Associated names: Fina
Introduced: 1987
Removed: 1991
Predecessors: none
Successors: Little Chef
The Kelly's Kitchen logo.
Kelly's Kitchen was a waitress service restaurant chain with 17 branches by 1989. One of their first sites was at Fradley on the A38, which opened in 1987.
They were developed by Norfolk House and Petrofina, providing food and fuel, with a motel added in some instances. In order to rival Forte's Little Chef, the restaurants had to be developed fast, and they quickly appeared at junctions along many major A-roads.
Their restaurants were all built to the same style with red brick built buildings, traditional cottage-style windows, tiled roofs which came down over the tops of the external walls and large funnel-like chimneys.
The brand was purchased by Crest Hotels, a Bass company. Subsequently motels were proposed alongside Kelly's Kitchens, under the brand Highway Lodge. Crest Hotels were themselves purchased by Trusthouse Forte in August 1990. Forte changed all the restaurants to become Little Chefs, ending the very short-lived rivalry. Forte appeared to be mainly interested in using the deal to expand Travelodge.
Given how quickly they had expanded, it's not surprising that Kelly's Kitchen had a number of outstanding planning applications which hadn't been followed up on. The ones which were still in the early stages were dropped in 1991 while the ones which had been finalised were included in the sale and followed up on. It's likely that some restaurants were changed to a Little Chef moments before they opened.
The following Little Chef restaurants were built in the Kelly's Kitchen style. It is likely that they started out as Kelly's Kitchen, but possible that some of them had been sold and re-branded before they opened.
Beacon Hill (A14)
Bickerstaffe (M58 J3)
Black Cat (A1)
Brentwood (A12)
Broadlands (A47)
Crewe (Barthomley) (M6 J15/A500)

Historically Black Colleges and Universities: What They Are and Why They Matter
Tasha Sandoval
Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are a unique and prominent feature of American higher education. Read on for our introductory guide on HBCUs.
What is an HBCU?
An HBCU is a historically black college or university in the United States, predominantly in the South. They are institutions established prior to 1964 whose principal mission is to educate black Americans.
HBCUs were established after the Civil War to educate black Americans who had very few educational opportunities before. Then, with the passing of the Morrill Act in 1890, many colleges received land grants to properly establish themselves. Most HBCUs grew out of this process.
African Americans were not permitted to study at the vast majority of other colleges and universities in the nation until the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Then, the Higher Education Act of 1965 formally created the HBCU designation to recognize these important institutions.
Officially, the HBCU designation was granted to colleges and universities that met the following criteria:
Established prior to 1964
Had educating black Americans as their primary mission
Were accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary of Education
HBCUs have continued to be major pillars and players in the higher education of black Americans.
Why Are Historically Black Colleges and Universities Important?
Advocates of HBCUs argue they are still important and still very much relevant today. HBCUs focus on educating the leaders of tomorrow and building a strong and caring culture rooted in the college's historically black roots.
HBCUs often pride themselves on producing some of the most successful and important African American figures in a variety of fields and industries, from academics to technology and literature.

What Are the Best HBCUs?
There are 99 HBCUs across the country. They include state public institutions, private colleges, two-year schools, and four-year schools. Many HBCUs are liberal arts institutions.
Though this isn't a definitive ranking of the best HBCUs in the country, these are some of the best and most prestigious HBCUs in the US.
Howard University is probably the most well-known HBCU. Located in Washington, DC, it boasts a truly impressive list of alumni including Kamala Harris, Zora Neal Hurston, Toni Morrison, Nick Cannon, and Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Established just after the Civil War in 1867, Howard University is one of the first institutions of its kind. As a private research university, it offers a wide variety of academic programs and is particularly strong in STEM fields. In fact, it is known for producing the most African American medical school candidates in the country.
Located in Hampton, VA, Hampton is a small private university with a student population of about 4,000. The American Missionary Association founded Hampton in 1867 to educate the new population of freedmen in Virginia. The university offers bachelor's and master's degree programs as well as eight doctoral programs.
Located in Atlanta, Georgia, Morehouse is the only all-male liberal arts college that is also an HBCU. It has a reputation for its commitment to providing a firm academic foundation for black men. The college is located just a few miles from downtown Atlanta and is part of the Atlanta University Center consortium along with fellow HBCU Spelman College.
Also located in Atlanta, Spelman College is a private liberal arts women's college and HBCU. Like Morehouse College, it only offers undergraduate bachelor's degrees. It has a population of just over 2,000 students and is recognized as a highly-selective liberal arts college for African American women.

Xavier University of Louisiana
Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, Xavier University of Louisiana is the only HBCU that also has a Roman Catholic religious affiliation. Like many other religiously-affiliated institutions, it welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds. At just over 3,000 students, the university offers both undergraduate and undergraduate programs in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
Florida A&M University stands for Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, though it is best known as FAMU. Located in Tallahassee, Florida, it is Florida's only public HBCU. It has a medium-sized student population of about 10,000 students and offers over 90 different courses of study at the undergrad, graduate, and doctoral levels.
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, or NC A&T, is a leading public HBCU in the state of North Carolina. Located in Greensboro, North Carolina, the college offers programs in education, technology, business, and many other diverse fields.
Located in Durham, North Carolina, North Carolina Central is the first public state liberal arts HBCU in the country. The university is split into nine academic colleges that house over 8,200 students in fields like business, arts and sciences, and computer science.
Though its main campus is in Dover, Delaware, Delaware State has two additional satellite campuses in Georgetown and Willmington. This public state university has nearly 5,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs.
How to Choose an HBCU?
If you know you want to attend an HBCU, it's important to do your research about individual institutions. As stated earlier, HBCUs include various institutions, including those with two-year or four-year program offerings. It's also important to note that HBCUs also admit students of other races and ethnicities and strive to be diverse institutions as well.
» MORE: Accounting Degree Benefits and Careers
Start by researching the schools and programs that you're interested in. Also, consider geography as a factor and whether the institution is private or public, which can have a significant effect on tuition. Overall, students should compare schools based on these few major factors:
Private or Public
Cost and Financial Aid Availability
HBCUs represent a unique and exciting opportunity to get your education in a historically significant and relevant environment rooted in black culture.

I found a recipe in one of my Junior League cookbooks years ago for Harvard Beets. I remember calling my mom to tell her how yummy they were, and she said my grandma Charlotte always used to make Harvard Beets. And my father-in-law went to Harvard Medical School, so I always think of both him and grandma when I make this recipe.
This is a simple way to make a canned vegetable into a real side dish, and the beautiful red color looks very pretty on a holiday table.
Drain beets, reserving juice. Add water to beet juice to make 2/3 cup.
Combine cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Add the beet liquid and vinegar, and stir until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute, stirring.
It's like making pudding. You keep stirring and stirring and right when you think it will never get thick, it does. This mixture will turn from cloudy to clear when it thickens.
Add sliced beets and sugar, heat through.
This makes a sweet and sour beet that is delicious! I wonder why it's called Harvard Beets? Anyone know?
For yummy recipes links, visit Rachel in the Land of Monkeys and Princesses.
Not a fan of beets but I do love recipes that remind you of a loved one. Happy Thanksgiving!
"The Land of Monkeys and Princesses"?
Wow, that sounds like some incredible place.
Fascinated by this beet thing. We have beetroot, but I've never seen anything like this.
Frau - Those recipes are the best, I agree.
Mo. - Beets and beetroot are the same thing I believe. Beets in this recipe are sliced and canned beetroot.
I love beets and I have had this recipe since my mom made it. THANKS!!! for the recipe.
I think it's called Harvard Beets because only smart people are cultured enough to eat beets.
Heather - Huh. I never knew the beet was a smarty-pants veggie. Maybe I'll make them more often!

The Prince of Wales Cup was competed for by troops of about 30 mounted troopers.
The first running of the Association Cup was held in Roma, Queensland as part of the "Roma Remembers" celebration on 20th – 21st September 2003.
It is hoped that the event is run close to Beersheba Day each year so as to increase the profile of the Australian Light Horse Association. However, it may be advantageous to run the event in conjunction with a local event if that will increase public awareness.

Because of the snow storm Thursday, the Legislature canceled hearings for Feb. 21. Those hearings have been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 5 at 9:15 a.m.
LB 568 – In its original form, this bill would have required a restrictive licensing process for navigators who will guide consumers through the new health insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act. While Appleseed did not support this bill in its current form, Senator Harr, the bill's sponsor has offered some helpful amendments that address many of the opponents concerns and which will help reorient this bill into one that focuses on creating a strong navigator program.
LB 220 – A bill introduced by Senator Avery that would ensure children are eligible for medical assistance through Medicaid and CHIP for 12 continuous months. This would also help to ensure eligible children are enrolled, and would streamline and simplify the verification requirements for the program. Appleseed supported this bill before the HHS Committee on Feb. 20 because it will increase access to health care for Nebraska children and will make the service delivery system more efficient.
LB 405 and LB 406 – At Governor Heineman's request, the Revenue Committee killed these two bills on Feb. 20. These two harmful bills would have created a regressive tax structure by eliminating the state income and corporate taxes and eliminated sales tax exemptions. Appleseed joined the overwhelming opposition to these two bills on Feb. 6 and 7.
LB 613 – A bill that would create a Tax Modernization Commission to study Nebraska's tax code. Appleseed testified in support of this bill before the Executive Committee on Feb. 19 because a thoughtful and deliberate examination of our tax structure is appropriate if we are to protect the investments we all have made in the state and ensure a logical and balanced system.
Take action to support LB 577 – new Medicaid program a win-win!
LB 577 – The bill that would implement the Affordable Care Act's new Medicaid program in Nebraska goes in front of the HHS Committee on Thursday. Senators need to hear from you! Please support LB 577 by calling or writing your state senator.
Appleseed strongly believes this bill is a good opportunity to provide a real solution to give health care access to thousands of low-income, working Nebraskans and return hundreds of millions of dollars to our state's economy.
LB625 – A bill by Senator Conrad to restore eligibility for child care assistance to its previous level. Without meaningful access to child care, parents can't work. Appleseed will be supporting LB 625 and the effort to increase access to child care for Nebraska's lower-income working families. Hearing: HHS, Feb. 27.

Q: Multer isn't passing in express put route I'm trying to upload an image to the file system with Multer. Please take a look at the relevant data in my route:
const
  ..
  multer = require('multer'),
  ..;

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, callback) {
      callback(null, './uploads');
    },
    filename: function (req, file, callback) {
      callback(null, req.params.id + file.originalname);
    }
  }),
  upload = multer({storage: storage}).single('profilePic');

router.put(
  '/:id',
  middleware.isLoggedIn,
  (req, res, next) => {

    User
      .findByIdAndUpdate(
        req.params.id, req.body.user,
        (err, updatedUser) => {
          if (err) {
            return req.flash('error', err.message);
          }

          upload(req, res, (err) => {
            if (err) {
              eval(locus);
              return req.flash('error', err.message);
            }
            updatedUser = req.body.user;
            eval(locus);

            //redirect show page
            res.redirect('/dashboard/profile/' + req.params.id + '/edit');
          });
        });
  });

module.exports = router;

When I look at updatedUser the first thing I see is
{ profilePic: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,....} what am I doing wrong? It's not even updating the page now that I have the upload function in here. What I really want to do is get the destination to work on s3 but I need to get this to save first.

A: So, this is a the most basic example of uploading an image using multer:
var express = require('express')
var multer = require('multer')
var app = express()

var storage = multer.diskStorage({
  // define where the file should be uploaded, else it will be uploaded to the system temp dir
  destination: function (req, file, cb) {
    // ./uploads should be created beforehand
    cb(null, './uploads')
  },
  // define "filename", else a random name will be used for the uploaded file
  filename: function (req, file, cb) {
    cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + file.originalname)
  }
})

var upload = multer({ storage: storage })

// pic is the name of image field in the form
app.put('/profile', upload.single('pic'), function (req, res, next) {
  console.log(req.file)
  res.send('Uploaded')
})

app.listen(3000)

And here is an example curl command to upload an image from the file system to the above app:
curl -X PUT -F 'pic=@/projects/eg/foto.png' localhost:3000/profile

Make sure the example works fine, to ensure you understand how multer handles file uploads, and that the issue is not with multer.
That said and done, User.findByIdAndUpdate seems to be storing the image data as a base64 encoded string somewhere; I have no idea what User.findByIdAndUpdate connects to. It is beyond the domain of multer.

Why are reporters so lazy? Why don't any of them bother to their jobs? I do a lot of reading about PR and for a while I was shocked at how delusional PR people were to think that the press release was an effective way to spread the word. I just realized why they use it: Reporters let them get away with it.
MSN :Palo Alto, Calif.-based Facebook said that, for example, it teamed up with Seattle-based Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) to develop a book review application where users write and display book reviews on their profile pages. Facebook users can then click on the "Buy at Amazon" button to go to Amazon.com and complete their purchase.
SJ Mercury News: Amazon.com's `Book Review' application will allow people to write and post book reviews on their Facebook profile pages. Friends whose curiosity is peaked by a book review can then click on the "Buy at Amazon" button, which will take them directly to Amazon.com to complete their purchase.
SF Chronicle: Facebook members, for instance, will be able to write Amazon book reviews and post them on their Facebook pages. If their friends read the review and want to buy the book, they can click on an Amazon button and connect directly to the online store.
Techshout: Facebook and Amazon teamed up to develop "Book Reviews" an application that lets Facebook users write and display book reviews on their profile pages. To visit Amazon.com and complete their purchases users will have to click on the "Buy at Amazon" button.
What we have here is reporters who got swooped up in the buzz and the excitement. They went ahead and reported on something they haven't seen. Not only that, they acted like they had–like they'd tooled around on it and found it satisfactory and implied the audience could do the same.
Even then, that might be excusable. But instead they plagiarized the press release nearly word for word. That report after report is worded exactly the same is not a coincidence, it's laziness. And then people wonder why the media isn't trusted and why companies continue to launch crappy products. How hard is it to gloss over major flaws when the reporters aren't going to bother to look anyway? Why focus on creating a quality product if a one page document can sell a journalist on just about anything. Why don't the reporters just go ahead and reprint press releases each morning if they aren't going to do any original work themselves?
These journalists got caught hook, line and sinker. They took a corporation at its word and asked no questions. Sound familiar? Where has that dereliction of duty led us in the past? Try Enron and the tech bubble. When the press goes around taking press releases on their face, without inspection or corroboration, we are all at risk of manipulation. Companies claims must be checked and rechecked–and in this case, seen to be premature or nonexistent. Blog are one thing, but for MSN or Businesswire, this negligence is unacceptable. They are call the 4th Estate because they are a check to power, not because they bow to it.
Sensationalism is dangerous. They owe the audience an apology and a greater dedication to accuracy.
I had something similar happen to me once. I wrote up an article of some soldiers rescuing some puppies stranded by a tornado and sent it in to the local paper. Not surprisingly, the paper published the whole thing, almost verbatim, and listed the author as "contributed". Even funnier still, they never even bothered to contact me regarding the validity or accuracy of the article. They just published what I had written and accepted it on face value. Glad I inspire that kind of trust.
John Hargrave (www.zug.com) pulled something similar to the above. He invented ridiculous, fake stories and submitted them to the mainstream media, where they were promptly put on the air. Go to http://www.zug.com/pranks/media/ if you want to read more.
It's obvious that the MSM is on the way out, but what are some good online news sources that aren't affiliated with MSM that can be trusted to not make these stupid mistakes?
What's this? Are you saying reporters have to limit themselves to only reporting on things that have actually happened? Who do you think you are to limit their creative freedom? How dare you.

Q: can we create multiple pure virtual interfaces in hierarchy and their implementation without code explosion In implementations of pure virtual classe (B_Impl below) do we need to define all methods corresponding to all derived pure virtual classes (A and B) even if we are also deriving from implementation classes (A_Impl).
I have following pure virtual classes:
class A
{
public:
virtual bool M1() = 0;
virtual ~A() = default;
};

class A_Impl: public virtual A
{
public:
bool M1() override { return true;}
virtual ~A_Impl() = default;
};

class B : public virtual A
{
public:
virtual ~B()=default;
virtual bool M2() = 0;
};

class B_Impl : public B, public A_Impl
{
public:
virtual ~B_Impl() = default;
bool M2() override { return true; }
};

int main()
{
    B_Impl bimpl();
    return 0;
}

On compiling this I am getting following error:
1.cpp: In function 'int main()':
1.cpp:31:5: error: invalid abstract return type 'B_Impl'
     B_Impl bimpl();
     ^~~~~~
1.cpp:22:7: note:   because the following virtual functions are pure within 'B_Impl':
 class B_Impl : public B, public A_Impl
       ^~~~~~
1.cpp:4:14: note:   virtual bool A::M1()
 virtual bool M1() = 0;
I dont want to define all methods of A in B_Impl as well when I am deriving from A_Impl also.

A: Your code lacks of multiple problems.
First A_Impl does not derive from A, which means, that it cannot override M1.
I think your approach is not elaborate very well and you should consider rethink your architecture.

A: Your problem here is that a B_Impl object has two A subobjects, one of which does not have its M1 method overridden.
A B_Impl object looks something like this:
+-------------------------+
| +---------+ +---------+ |
| | +-----+ | | +-----+ | |
| | |     | | | |     | | |
| | |  A  | | | |  A  | | |
| | |     | | | |     | | |
| | +-----+ | | +-----+ | |
| |  A_Impl | |  B      | |
| +---------+ +---------+ |
|         B_Impl          |
+-------------------------+

It has A_Impl and B subojtects, each of which has its own A subobject.
To fix this, you need to use virtual inheritance.  If you declare A_Impl and B to inherit virtually from A, then B_Impl will end up looking like this:
+--------------------------+
| +-----+ +------+ +-----+ |
| |     | |      | |     | |
| |  A  | |A_Impl| |  B  | |
| |     | |      | |     | |
| +-----+ +------+ +-----+ |
|          B_Impl          |
+--------------------------+

It has one A subojbect that is shared by B and A_Impl.
To do that, just add the virtual keyword:
class A
{
public:
    virtual bool M1() = 0;
    virtual ~A() = default;
};

class A_Impl : public virtual A
{
public:
    bool M1() override { return true;}
    virtual ~A_Impl() = default;
};

class B : public virtual A
{
public:
    virtual bool M2() = 0;
    virtual ~B()=default;
};

class B_Impl : public virtual B, public A_Impl
{
public:
    virtual ~B_Impl() = default;
    bool M2() override { return true; }
};

Note that I've also declared B_Impl to derive virtually from B.  In general, it's a good idea to inherit virtually from interfaces.  That way you won't end up with the same problem if you mix in a C interface that derives from B and a C_Impl that derives from C and B_Impl.
Just keep in mind that it's the most-derived class's job to initialize any virtually-derived-from classes, so if you were to make A non-default-constructable then it would end up being the responsibility of B_Impl to call A's constructor rather than that responsibility being hidden by A_Impl.


This week I've been obsessed with this bit of doggerel from my favorite poet. I hadn't bothered to read through his uneven poems filed under light verse and juvenalia in my Oxford Housman and so had missed this one. But I broke it out to read to for my friends' children last weekend. It was a hit and the line "eat the dog and drink the cat has been running through my head" since.
And why his weeping mother mourns?
He was unkind to unicorns.
Or do the very slightest thing.
To eat the dog or drink the cat.
He went and let the lion out.
And bite what unicorns it found.
Was Henry sorry? He was not.
What did his jumps betoken? Joy.
He was a bloody-minded boy.
That they had better not be there.
At tips of tails it could not catch.
It took his legs between its jaws.
"Down, lion, down!" said Henry, "Cease!
Made no reply, but only ate.
So now be kind to unicorns.
They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed.
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.
For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.
We called you Gertrude as a placeholder before you were born and when you were taken from us after only a few minutes, it didn't seem right to call you anything else. It took me ages to be able to write anything about you but I finally did this January and wrote about naming you. There's so much I would like to say to you. But I'll say happy birthday for now. I miss you. I'll be seeing you.
by the instantaneity of pure affection, by love which is all you'll ever know.
This translation from the Latin of my favorite Roman poet into the English of my favorite British poet is among the most beautiful I know. The snows are fled away here, dear reader, and the fashion of the earth is altered. Spring has brought the swans back to the lake. I wish you well and wish Housman a happy birthday.
And altered is the fashion of the earth.
And unapparelled in the woodland play.
Say to the soul, Thou wast not born for aye.
Then back to wintertide, when nothing stirs.
And good Aeneas, we are dust and dreams.
The morrow to the day, what tongue has told?
The fingers of no heir will ever hold.
No, nor thy righteousness, shall friend thee more.
The love of comrades cannot take away.
I'm more than a week into the 30/30 Project, writing a poem a day for the month of January. There have been moments as thrilling as any I've experienced as a writer -- lines forming themselves as if of their own volition, ideas fusing with music. There have been moments of sheer panic as well as hours pass without a thread to follow through the maze of poem drafts. I've taken liberties with Lorca, given a nod to dear friends, bestowed a voice upon a poison mushroom, invented new lives and written my own.
If you've been one of my kind readers, following my daily progress, please consider donating a dollar or two to Tupelo Press so they can continue to promote all their wonderful poets and projects. You can find information on how to donate at the 30/30 page. View it as a trade. Here's a list of what I'll be exchanging for donations.
Tupelo Press' 30/30 project means cranking out a poem every day, for public viewing nonetheless. That's daunting. My typical process involves the slow accretion of lines and ideas and drafts over weeks, sometimes months. 30/30 gives me no time to perfect and hone and second guess. It's good and terrifying too. I spent the morning pushing words around the page. Nothing. I tried one poem, then another, then another. The thought came that I might not be up for this.
Then I took a walk and looked at the cracked glaze of ice on Horseshoe Lake like so much candy or stained glass in the sunlight. And I remembered that life doesn't take place inside my head (and what is true of life is often true of writing and vice versa). I walked with dust kicking along Shady Beach Road beneath the bluest sky and the first lines of the day's poem came to me.

Margarita Limes Burn Groom, Sour His Wedding Plans
A man on his honeymoon suffered second-degree burns while making margaritas outdoors. But how?
A couple's honeymoon will have to be put on hold after the soon-to-be husband received serious burns while making margaritas.
"So the blistering is gone, and I'm left with really fresh, new, bright pink skin," Aaron Peers told WTLV.
When Aaron Peers got lime juice on his hands, the sun's ultraviolet rays caused the citric acid on his skin to react, giving him second-degree burns. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition is known as phytophotodermatitis and is similar to a concentrated sunburn.
The limes contain a chemical called furocoumarins. Everyday Health writer Dr. Ava Shamban says, "On their own, furocoumarins are harmless, but when they come in contact with UV rays from the sun, they chemically transform into something very unpleasant for the skin."
Peers told WTLV the burn ran down his hands as he squeezed the limes. A doctor told the outlet the condition might not be as rare as some think, as he alone gets a dozen cases a year.
And while making margaritas indoors is a good preventative measure, CBS adds ultraviolet light can react with other produce that gets on the skin besides limes –– including celery, parsley and parsnips.

Angažovanje zaposlenih je osnovni koncept koji pomaže da se razume i opiše kako kvalitativni tako i kvantitativni odnos između organizacije i njenih zaposlenih. Pod "angažovanim radnikom" se podrazumeva osoba koja je u potpunosti predana i oduševljena svojim poslom tako što preduzima pozitivne akcije za unapređenje ugleda i interesa organizacije. Angažovani radnik ima pozitivan stav prema organizaciji i njenim vrednostima. Nasuprot tome, neangažovani radnik može biti osoba koja ulaže minimum truda na poslu (takozvano "zabušavanje"), ali i radnik koji aktivno narušava rad i ugled kompanije.

Organizacija sa "visokim" angažovanjem zaposlenih može nadmašiti one organizacije sa "niskim" angažovanjem zaposlenih.

Angažovanje zaposlenih se najpre pojavilo kao koncept u teoriji menadžmenta 1990-ih godina,
dok u menadžment praksi postaje široko rasprostranjeno 2000-ih, ali je i dalje osporavano zbog nedefinisanog odnosa prema ranijim postavkama kao što su moral i zadovoljstvom poslom. Uprkos akademskim kritikama, prakse angažovanja zaposlenih su dobro uspostavljene u upravljanju ljudskim resursima i upravljanju internim komunikacijama.

Danas, angažovanje zaposlenih je postalo sinonim za pojmove iskustvo zaposlenih i zadovoljstvo zaposlenih. Postaje značajnije većini profesionalaca nove generacije koji imaju veću sklonost da budu ometeni i neangažovani na poslu. Nedavno istraživanje koje je sproveo StaffConnect ukazuje na to da danas veliki broj kompanija (74.24%) planira da poboljša iskustvo zaposlenih u 2018. godini.

Definicije
Vilijam Kan je prvi dao formalnu definiciju ličnog angažovanja kao "uključivanje članova organizacije u obavljanju njihovih radnih uloga, kada se ljudi angažuju i izražavaju fizički, kognitivno i emocionalno na svojim pozicijama."

Godine 1963. Šmed et al. predlaže smanjenje razlike između postojećih koncepata "zadovoljstvo poslom" i angažovanje zaposlenog sa definicijom: "Učešće zaposlenog, njegova posvećenost i zadovoljstvo poslom. Angažovanje zaposlenih je deo zadržavanja zaposlenih". Ova definicija integriše klasične postavke zadovoljstva posla (Smit et al., 1969) i posvećenosti organizacije (Meja & Alen, 1991).

Definisanje angažovanja zaposlenih ostaje problematično. U svom pregledu literatura iz 2011. godine, Volard i Šuc  identifikuju četiri glavna podkoncepta u okviru termina:
 Pristup "zadovoljenja potreba" u kojem je angažovanje poželjni iskaz ponašanja osobe tokom obavljanja posla.
 Pristup antiteza "izgaranja" na poslu, u kojem su energija, uključenost i efikasnost predstavljeni kao suprotnosti takozvanih "izgaranja" konstrukcija: iscrpljenost, cinizam i nedostatak postiguća.
 Pristup zadovoljstva i angažovanja u kojem je angažovanje više tehnička verzija zadovoljstva poslom, o čemu svedoči istraživanje kompanije Galup primenom Q12 ankete o angažovanju zaposlenih, koja daje r=0.91 korelaciju sa jednom merom(zadovoljstvo poslom).
 Multidemnzionalni pristup, u kojem se izražava jasna razlika između poslovne i organizacione angažovanosti, obično sa primarnim fokusom na prethodna i posledična izvršenja uloga, a ne na organizacionu identifikaciju.

Definicije angažovanosti razlikuju se u težini koju daju pojedincu ili organizaciji u stvaranju angažovanja. Skorašnja praksa postavlja pokretače angažovanja, koji imaju uvid u psihu pojedinca (na primer, službe za regrutovanje filtriraju "neangažovane" kandidate )
), fokusiraju se na akcije i investicije koje organizacija čini kako bi podržala angažovanost.

Ovi problemi sa definisanjem su potencijalno ozbiljna pretnja za stručnjake. Sa različitim (i često sopstvenim) definicijama predmeta koji se meri, statistike iz različitih izvora nisu lako uporedive. Radno angažovanje ostaje otvoreno za izazove, čije su osnovne pretpostavke, kako ih opisuje Tom Kinoj, normativnost i ambicioznost, više nego analitičnost ili operativnost, i tako rizikuju da to drugi učesnici u organizaciji vide kao "sve i svja".

Povezanost
Pre Kana koji je koristio taj termin sredinom 1990-ih, u teoriji menadžmenta istraživan je niz koncepata koji se odnose na angažovanje zaposlenih. Moral zaposlenih, radna etika, produktivnost i motivacija su istraženi u pravcu koji datira iz rada Mari Parker Folet početkom 1920-ih. Studije iz Drugog svetskog rata koje su zasnovane na istraživanju o liderstvu i moralu grupe podstakli su dodatno uverenje da se takva svojstva mogu istraživati i meriti. Kasnije, Frederik Hercberg je zaključio  da pozitivnu motivaciju pokreću menadžeri koji svojim zaposlenima pružaju razvojne mogućnosti, aktivnost koju on naziva 'vertikalno obogaćivanje'.

Saradnici
Uz širok raspon definicija javljaju se i različiti potencijalni saradnici za željene nivoe angažovanja zaposlenih. Neki od primera su:

Uključenost
Ejlin Apelbaum i njene kolege (2000) su proučavali 15 fabrika čelika, 17 fabrika tekstila i 10 proizvođača elektronske opreme. Njihova namera bila je da uporede tradicionalne sisteme proizvodnje sa fleksibilnim, visoko produktivnim sistemima proizvodnje koji uključuju timove, obuku i ohrabrujuće sisteme plaćanja. U sve tri industrije, postrojenja koja su koristila postupke visokog učinka pokazala su izuzetan rezultat. Takođe, radnici u postrojenjima visokog učinka su pokazali više pozitivnosti, uključujući poverenje, organizacionu posvećenost i značajno uživanje u poslu. Koncept je postao popularan pošto su različita istraživanja ukazala na povezanost sa produktivnošću.Često je povezan i sa pojmovima "glas radnika" i ovlašćenje.

Dva istraživanja radnika u industriji životnog osiguranja su proučavala uticaj radnikovih percepcija o njegovoj moći da donosi odluke, o tome da poseduje dovoljno znanja i informacija da bi efektivno obavljao posao i o nagradama za dobar rezultat. Oba istraživanja su obuhvatila velike uzorke radnika( 3570 zaposlenih iz 49 organizacija i 4828 zaposlenih iz 92 organizacije). U oba istraživanja, visoki učinci menadžmenta su bili pozitivno povezani sa moralom zaposlenog, njegovim zadržavanjem u firmi i finansijskim rezultatom firme. Votson Vajat je otkrio da su se visoko posvećene organizacije ( sa odanim i posvećenim zaposlenima)pokazale kao bolje za 47% od onih sa niskom posvećenošću, u istraživanju iz 2000. godine i za 200% u istraživanju iz 2002. godine.

Posvećenost
Zaposleni sa najviše posvećenosti rade 20% bolje i 87% su manje šanse da će napustiti organizaciju, što ukazuje da je angažovanje povezano sa rezultatima organizacije. Kada su zaposleni više empatični, produktivnost sama raste. 85% radnika u SAD-u smatra da njihovi poslodavci nisu empatični.

Produktivnost
U istraživanju firmi koje pružaju profesionalne usluge, Haj Grupa je otkrila da su organizacije sa angažovanim zaposlenima do 43% produktivnije. Zadovoljstvo poslom je takođe povezano sa produktivnošću.

Lični faktori i individualne razlike
Ono što se često zanemaruje su jedinstvena ličnost, potrebe, motivi i ciljevi zaposlenih, koji se povezuju sa organizacionim faktorima i problemima kako bi uticali na nivoe angažovanosti. Sa druge strane, neki zaposleni će uvek biti više (ili manje) uključeni i motivisani od drugih, kao što skorašnja ideja pokretača ukazuje. Pokretač se meri na osnovu 13 faseta i tri aspekta (strast, trud, stvaranje ideja).

Pokretanje angažovanosti
Povećanje angažovanja je osnovni cilj organizacija koje teže da razumeju i izmere angažovanje.

Pokretači angažovanja
Navedeni su neki od zaključaka do kojih se došlo istraživanjem pokretača angažovanja:
 Lične karakteristike zaposlenog - Smatra se da pozitivna percepcija kod osoba doprinosi ličnoj snazi i sposobnosti, što im omogućava da budu angažovani u organizaciji.
 Mišljenje zaposlenog o značaju posla - Mišljenje zaposlenog o značaju posla koji obavlja i kompaniji u kojoj radi, ima veći uticaj na poverenje i pružanje usluga kupcima nego svi ostali faktori zajedno. "
 Jasno postavljena očekivanja od zaposlenog - Ukoliko očekivanja nisu jasna i ukoliko nisu obezbeđeni osnovni materijali i oprema, to može prouzrokovati negativna osećanja kod zaposlenih kao što su dosada i ozlojeđenost. U tom slučaju zaposleni može postati više fokusiran na preživljavanje u organizaciji nego na razmišljanje o tome na koji način može doprineti većem uspehu organizacije.
 Napredovanje u karijeri / Mogućnosti za napredovanje - Nadzornici i menadžeri postrojenja ističu da su mnoga poboljšanja nastala izvan sistema za preporuke, već na inicijativu zaposlenih koji su nagrađivani bonusima, generisanim zbog postignute naknadne uštede.
 Redovne povratne informacije i razgovor sa nadređenima - Povratne informacije su ključne za zaposlene kako bi imali osećaj u kom pravcu se kreću, ali mnoge organizacije ne obezbeđuju odgovarajuće povratne informacije. Pokazalo se da su za 67% viže angažovani zaposleni koji imaju podršku svojih nadređenih.
 Kvalitet slaganja sa kolegama, nadređenima i podređenima - Ukoliko je odnos između zaposlenog i nadređenog nestabilan, onda ne postoje povlastice koje mogu ubediti zaposlenog da radi najbolje što može. Angažovanost zaposlenog predstavlja direktan odraz toga kako se zaposleni oseća u vezi sa svojim odnosom sa šefom.
 Utemeljena verovanja i vrednosti organizacije - Inspiracija i vrednosti predstavljaju najvažnije pokretače među šest koji su navedeni u Modelu angažovanog učinka. Nadahnjujuće liderstvo je krajni cilj. Ukoliko ne postoji, veoma je teško angažovati zaposlene.
 Efektivna interna komunikacija između zaposlenih - Daje jasnu sliku o tome šta se dešava.

Teorije poverenja su zasnovane na stvaranju uslova u kojima će se zaposleni osećati primoranim da rade, dok teorije angažovanja imaju za cilj da dovedu do situacije u kojoj zaposleni po slobodnom izboru imaju unutrašnju želju da rade u najboljem interesu organizacije.

Nedavna istraživanja su se fokusirala na razvoj boljeg razumavanja varijabli kao što su kvalitet radnog odnosa i vrednosti organizacije, te njihovu povezanost sa ishodima rada. Iz perspektive zaposlenog, "ishodi" se kreću od snažne posvećenosti do nepovezivanja osobe sa organizacijom.

Strategija porodičnog angažovanja
U svetu koji se sve više i više uzajamno približava i globalizuje, menadžeri moraju da neguju jedinstvene strategije koje će zaposlene činiti angažovanim, motivisanim i posvećenim svom poslu. Balans u poslu na ličnom nivou je doveo do visoko angažovane i produktivne radne snage. Važan aspekt tog balansa je koliko dobro čovek može da održava ravnotežu između posla i porodičnog života. Porodica je deo kulture koja se razlikuje po svojim vrednostima, strukturi i ulogama širom sveta. Međutim, porodica može biti korisna za sve menadžere kako bi podstakli rad u svom timu. Mnoge firme širom sveta su usvojile politiku podrške roditeljima kao strategiju kojom stvaraju održivu i efektivnu radnu snagu . Istraživanje pokazuje da su kompanije sa plaćenom politikom podrške roditeljima povećale produktivnost radnika za 70%. Takođe, firme koje imaju plaćeno roditeljsko odsustvo ostvarile su povećanje profita za 91%, tako što su omogućile roditeljima da održavaju ravnotežu između privatnog i poslovnog života . Teorija socijalne razmene potvrđuje ova saznanja i govori o tome da kada radnici imaju dodatne povlastice, kao što je roditeljska podrška, oni osećaju potrebu da poslodavcima uzvrate uslugu tako što će vredno i naporno raditi .

Kada se koristi roditeljska podrška kao strategija za povećanje globalnog angažovanja radne snage, menadžeri moraju da uzmu u obzir odgovarajući model poslovnog života koji podrazumeva različite kulturne potrebe jedne porodice. Svetski lideri moraju da razumeju da nijedna kultura nije ista i da bi trebalo da uzmu u obzir prilagodljivu i fleksibilnu politiku koja bi poštovala individualne potrebe. Kompanije mogu da imaju različit prikaz među svojim zaposlenima koji možda nije u skladu sa politikom koja je u spoljašnjem okruženju. Pored toga, kako se kompanije razvijaju širom sveta, važno je da se izbegne univerzalna politika koja možda neće obuhvatiti sve kulturne faktore u svetu. U istraživanju koje je sproveo Faiza e al(2017) centralnost i uticaj su dva koncepta koja su pomogla poslodavcima da saznaju više o kulturnim potrebama zaposlenih . Centralnost se odnosi na to da organizacija razume socijalno okruženje i domen u kome posluje. Dalje, bilo je važno da organizacija omogući zaposlenima da utiču na politiku kako bi se politike prilagodile njihovim potrebama. Koristeći ova dva faktora zajedno sa odgovarujućim okvirima poslovnog života, organizacije mogu da stvore produktivniju i posvećeniju radnu snagu širom sveta.

Opasnosti
 Metodološke: Pogrešna upotreba statistika: Eksperti se suočavaju sa brojnim rizicima u radu sa podacima o angažovanju, koji su najčešće dobijeni ispitivanjem. Ovo bi podrazumevalo rizik od pogrešnih veza uzročnosti, donošenje pogrešnih zaključaka na osnovu poređenja podataka slične zvučnosti koji su dobijeni iz različitih metodologija i/ili iz neuporedive populacije, pogrešno razumevanje i pogrešno predstavljanje osnovnih pojmova i pretpostavki, tačno utvrđivanje margina grešaka u podacima (osigurava da su signal i buka različiti).
 Administrativne: Usredsređenost na administraciju istraživanja, prikupljanje podataka i analizu rezultata (a ne preduzimanje akcije) može takođe oštetiti aktivnosti angažovanja. Organizacije koje su okrenute ispitavanju radne snage bez davanja povrtanih informacija, pokazuju negativan uticaj na rezultate angažovanja. Zahtevi za izveštavanjem i nadgledanjem inicijative angažovanosti ukazuju na oskudnost resursa (vreme i novac) organizacije, i nadalje zahteva efektivno korišćenje vremena da se pokaže dodata vrednost. Istovremeno, akcije zasnovane na ispitivanju angažovanosti su uglavnom prenete na lokalno upravljanje, gde je svaka 'dodata vrednost' uračunata u lokalni učinak. S toga je centralna administracija ''angažovanja zaposlenih'' izazovna za održavanje tokom vremena.
  Etičke: Ostaje pitanje da li bi bilo etički promeniti stavove i ponašanje zaposlenih na nameravani način, i sa očekivanim rezultatima dodate vrednosti za organizaciju. Eksperti priznaju da je stari model psihološkog ugovora iščeznuo, ali pokušavaju da ga zamene jednosmernom identifikacijom, od zaposlenog ka organizaciji, za koji se smatra da je moralniji.

Diskusija industrije, debate i dijalozi
Angažovanje zaposlenih je tema otvorena za debatu, uključujući pitanja kao što su:
 Da li angažovanje zaposlenih stvarno predviđa održivu vrednost akcionara? Trenutni pokazatelji ukazaju na indikatore prošlih rezultata, ne na vodeće, tako da je moguće da je angažovanje prouzrokovano uspehom, pre nego da je njegov izvor.
 Da li postoji potreba da se ponovo razmisli o pristupu angažovanju zaposlenih? Debate se vode oko važnosti povremenih ispitivanja nasuprot drugim tehnikama( mikro ispitivanja, otvoreni forumi za davanje povratnih informacija, sajtovi za najnovije vesti  itd.)
 Da li koncept balansa poslovnog života treba da se unapredi?
 Koliko su zaposleni motivisani misijom organizacije?
 Da li ljudska priroda ili neurologija igra ulogu u programima angažovanja zaposlenih?

Angažovanje volontera
Angažovanje se takođe može povezati sa pojmom volonteri, na primer, više angažovani izviđački volonteri će verovatno imati povećano zadovoljstvo prema menadžmentu. Stoga se radno angažovanje odnosi na pozitivno unutrašnje stanje volontera prema obaveznim zadacima.

The holiday season is upon us when a woman's fancy turns to baking! And one of the prime ingredients is nuts. Nuts in fudge, nuts in cookies, nuts in candies and cakes, nuts in salads and stuffings. And lets not forget peanut brittle! The most popular nut to bake with is the pecan. Followed by almonds and English walnuts. One of my personal favorites though is the black walnut.
Black walnuts are a basic part of farm life in the South. And they have had a bigger part in my life besides baking. When I was a child, there were two sure-fire ways for a youngster to make money. Collecting soda bottles (5 cents a return), or to sell black walnuts.
We have lots of black walnut trees on our 40 acres, but only three close to the house. They have been there all of my life. Years ago, Daddy would rake up the nuts and throw them in the dirt road that ran past our place so the cars would run over them and hull them for us. Then, usually in late October or early November, we would take empty burlap feed sacks, or gunny sacks as we called them, and stuff them full of the hulled nuts. We would load up the back of the pickup and drive 30 miles or so to the walnut factory where we could get as high as $7 for a load! And in the late '60s to mid-1970s that was a lot of cash.
As a child, I was given a share of the profits which became my Christmas money for buying gifts. As I grew older, I could have more depending on how much work I put into bagging the nuts. One year I worked at it alone and gained the entire proceeds. How rich I was that year! I had enough money to buy Christmas presents and that new Carpenter album I wanted with money left over.
Probably why black walnuts are not very popular to cook with is the fact that they are so hard to harvest. I have never seen a harder nut to crack! How squirrels do it I will never know. Every fall, when we gathered our harvest to sell, Mom always kept a bushel basket for herself. Throughout the coming weeks, she would set outside and crack the walnuts with a hammer until she had a large plastic container full. Then she moved into the house and for the next few days she picked out the meat into a smaller container. This was accomplished in the evenings after chores and dinner were completed. She would settled down on the couch in front of her favorite show with the bowl of cracked nuts, an empty container, and a metal nut pick and work away. And when she was finished, there really wasn't much to show for it. That bushel basket of black walnuts might only give her four cups of nut meats or "goodies" as we called them. But it was worth it!
There is nothing quite like the taste of black walnuts. Its a strong, earthy flavor that enhances so many dishes and just plain good to munch on as a snack. We could not afford pecans or other nuts, so all our baking was done with black walnuts. Mom never made fudge, but she did make cakes and pies with those goodies as well as putting them in fruit salads and jellos. And if there was enough left, they went into the Christmas stuffing.
We no longer harvest black walnuts for sale. In fact, I'm not sure there is even a place around here that buys them anymore. But my daughter-in-law and I still pick up a few for cooking purposes every year. Usually I sit out on the front porch to crack them on the front step with the exact same hammer my mother used and then take them into the house to finish them as Mom did, settled before a good movie while I pick out the goodies. My first bucket didn't yield much as you can see, but it will be enough for a stuffing I plan to make. And there are always more where those came from. That is, if I can beat the squirrels to them.

Q: Is there a way to make immediate window show actual tabs instead of 4 spaces when using debug.print Is there a way to force VBA to print the actual chr(9) or vbTab character into the immediate window when using debug.print instead of 4 spaces or whatever you define?
Let's say I want to copy some records from a table in MS Access, and have them concatenated into a string separated by the vbTab char, I then print the string into the immediate window in MS Access and copy that string.
I paste the string into Excel and try to use the Text Import Wizard delimited by Tab character, does it work? Absolutely not!  Excel won't recognize the Tab character but rather 4 spaces.
I need to either copy it to the clipboard using SetText or export it to a file and then open it in Excel.
I don't mean to be rude, but please refrain from answers like "why don't you use | as a field separator".  I can copy the text successfully, the question is if there's a way I can copy it directly from the immediate window with the actual Tab character.

A:
I don't mean/want to discuss alternatives, just if it's possible to
  show actual Tab characters in the immediate window.

The answer is no.

A: @Nacorid and @Warcupine: Jose R's actual question is legit. In my case (in Word for example), I've needed to dump the current values of some Application object properties so that I can then copy/paste them into Excel, to form a multi-column table.  What would be most desirable is to just do something like this:
With Application
    Debug.Print "UserName" & vbTab & .UserName
    Debug.Print "UserInitials" & vbTab & .UserInitials
    Debug.Print "DefaultSaveFormat" & vbTab & .DefaultSaveFormat
    Debug.Print "RecentFiles.Maximum" & vbTab & .RecentFiles.Maximum
End With

and then copy/paste those results directly into an Excel spreadsheet.
But, no, I have to use a two step process:
With Application
    Debug.Print "UserName" & "~" & .UserName
    Debug.Print "UserInitials" & "~" & .UserInitials
    Debug.Print "DefaultSaveFormat" & "~" & .DefaultSaveFormat
    Debug.Print "RecentFiles.Maximum" & "~" & .RecentFiles.Maximum
End With

then copy/paste the results of that into Word, do a replace of "~" with "^t" and then copy/paste those results into the Excel spreadsheet.  That technique works, of course, but it is counter-intuitive (and annoying) that the VBE designers actively prevent a programmer from doing what they need to do: print an actual Tab character to the Immediate window. A better design would have been to have Tab(n) operate as it does, when needed, but also allow vbTab or Chr(9) to print the Tab character.
And a suggestion about comment style: it's great to offer alternative ways to do what you think the person asking the question is trying to do, but it's very off-putting to make judgements about their attempted solution or why they've asked the question that they've asked.  I comes across as arrogant and ill-informed given that you can't possibly have much insight into whatever larger context and circumstances drove the person to ask their particular question.

A: The Immediate Window's representation of chr(9) or vbTab is 4 spaces.  You can verify this by printing chr(9) or vbTab, clicking into the Immediate Window and pressing Backspace and then typing a few spaces and pressing Backspace.
There is no way to change this, as far as I'm aware.

Volvo's T3 engine makes the XC40 more affordable
By autoX Editorial | on August 22, 2018
Volvo's first-ever three-cylinder T3 petrol motor makes its international debut on the XC40.
In July 2018, Volvo had entered the compact luxury SUV space in India with the launch of its baby SUV, the XC40. The latest offering from Volvo competes with the likes of Audi Q3, BMW X1 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA. It is powered by Volvo's 2.0-litre, four-cylinder D4 diesel motor which generates 188bhp and 400Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an Aisin 8-speed automatic gearbox and power is sent to all four corners via an All-Wheel-Drive system.
At the time of its launch, the XC40 was offered to the Indian market in the R-Design trim only. However, the line-up was expanded weeks after the launch with the addition of a lower-spec Momentum and higher-spec Inscription variant. While India gets a single engine option for the XC40, which is the D4 diesel, the international markets will now get a T3 petrol motor option as well, Volvo's first ever three-cylinder engine.
The newest addition to Volvo's Drive-E engine family, the T3 is ideally suited to the XC40's role as a nimble and efficient, urban-friendly vehicle. The compact, 1.5-litre, direct-injection unit develops a healthy 156bhp at 5,000rpm and is matched to a six-speed manual transmission. An eight-speed automatic option will be introduced at a later date.
While there is no confirmed date of the T3 motor's debut in India, it will certainly make the XC40 more affordable if it reaches the Indian shores. Also, given the fact that the demand for petrol cars in India is steadily on the rise, the XC40 will attract a much wider audience once it is available with this new motor in India.
