Fixed Rate Reset Additional Tier 1 Perpetual Subordinated Contingent Convertible Securities Callable 2029 (ISIN: XS1043552261) (the "PNC15 Securities") (each a "Series" and together the "Securities", and the holders thereof, the "Securityholders") of the Issuer presently outstanding.
The Issuer has today given a Notice in respect of the Securities for the purpose of soliciting consent from the Securityholders to the modification of the terms and conditions (the "Conditions") of the relevant Series and consequential or related amendments to the transaction documents for the relevant Series of Securities such that (i) the Reset Reference Rate (as defined in the relevant Conditions) ceases to be a London Inter Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") linked mid-swap rate and becomes a Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") linked mid-swap rate; (ii) an adjustment (the "Reset Reference Rate Adjustment") is made to reflect the economic difference between the LIBOR and SONIA rates; and (iii) the Margin (as defined in the relevant Conditions) applicable to each Series of Securities remains unaltered; (iv) the fallbacks relating to the Reset Reference Rate are amended; and (v) new fallbacks are included in case a Benchmark Event (as defined in the Updated Consent Solicitation Memorandum) occurs with respect to the Reset Rate of Interest, as proposed by the Issuer for approval by a separate extraordinary resolution of the holders of each such Series (each an "Extraordinary Resolution"), all as further described in the updated consent solicitation memorandum dated 30 October 2020 (the "Updated Consent Solicitation Memorandum") (each such invitation an "Updated Consent Solicitation").

I've been thinking about gifts a lot lately. Somewhat inspired by our guest preacher last week, Erin Littlestar, who said that God has given us great gifts of pleasure to experience food and intimacy, and that somehow, sometimes, we gate them up as a culture forget that God wants us to experience these gifts of joy and pleasure.
I've been thinking that the gifts we give one another, benefit the person beyond the giver. The lessons we teach our children, benefit more than just our children. The flip side of that is that the harm we do one another, harms more than just the person we do it to.
What about gifts that are not so obviously gifts, at first?
There are schools of thought that claim, that any hard thing, problem, tragedy, has a gift in it, that we called to ourselves, because we need it to grow.
Contemporary Japanese Author, Haruki Murakami, writes, "When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person that walked in. That's what the storm is all about." Painful gifts have the ability to transform us.
What is the spiritual work around this type of alchemy, of interpreting something harmful as a gift? Or taking an opportunity around grief or trauma to give a gift.
We are leading up to a time in our holy season where a horrific thing happens, and then a glorious thing happens. Jesus is brutally crucified, then resurrects. We come face to face with the human potential for violence, and then God's saving grace, to bring love out of the depth of pain and fear and hate. We even interpret the suffering of Jesus as great gift for us. This time of the year, we let this story hold us. We don't have to hold it up, it carries us and we can lean/sink back into it.
Leading up to his suffering, Jesus began to predict what would happen to him, and few understood. But Mary, the woman with the alabaster Jar, got it. Two days before Passover, at a meal celebrating Jesus, she anoints Jesus with oil, as if to prepare his body for death.
But people protest. Shouldn't she have sold that and given the money to the poor? What a waste!
They remember Jesus teaching on wealth and saying to sell all your belongings and give them to the poor, for it will be harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to get through the eye of a needle.
It must have been very meaningful to Jesus. This is the only time he says something along the lines of, "wherever the gospel is spread, this shall be spoken of." The kind, loving, extravagant thing, that a woman did for Jesus, will be remembered as an act of good news. And it is, for we have read it today.
It is so significant, because in the face of potential violence and pain, this woman gives the gift of extravagant, bold love.
Jesus and the woman with the alabastar jar felt the pain of Jesus dying and suffering before it happened.
Our Psalm today might give insight to the grief that she, and even Jesus might have felt. Perhaps they had a 6th sense about the whole thing.
This is the internal suffering, but externally, the Psalmist continues, "I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors; those who see me in the street flee from me." Have you ever had that experience where you are just such a mess of grief and sadness, that you feel as if people avoid you?
I have become like a broken vessel. Maybe like the broken vessel that Mary breaks as a gift for Jesus. Broken, pouring out, crying out to God, to her savior.
This is the most difficult to place to feel gratitude for God from, let alone feel grateful FOR the hardship, as some sort of gift. Surprisingly though, there can be a depth of gratitude and love that flows from us when we are broken vessels.
It is easy to love God when life is great. It is natural to feel grateful, when we are not suffering. But the deeper love, and deeper challenge is to hold Love in the face of pain. Yes, to allow ourselves to curse God, because God can handle it, but not curse each other. We are much more sensitive, even the toughest of us has an Achilles heal, words that can wound can cut deeply.
The deepest challenge is to hold Love in the face of pain, to allow ourselves to feel the full spectrum of human feelings, but to not be sloppy about it, not let our feelings and needs hurt the people around us, to show love, still, in the face of pain and violence.
One of the best things I have ever heard about the resurrection was from a New Testament Scholar, Celene Lillie. Regarding the resurrection she says, "We can't know exactly what happened, but we know that something happened." Something so significant, I might add, that this story has lasted thousands of years. This kernel of truth, that God brings love out of suffering, hope out of despair, spring out of winter, and healing out of wounds. We can allow this story to hold us, this time of the year. We don't have to hold it up. It can contain us, and allows us to rest into it.

Back before I had kids, I used to daily drive a 68 Mustang in the summer heat in Texas. It was bad enough that the car didn't have AC, but the real insult is that when I would stop for gas I knew it was going to take me a while to get the car to start back up. I chalked that up to a quirk of a car from the 60's. The thought that the issue with starting might be related to heat soak never entered my mind. I always associate heat soak with forced induction applications, not NA cars.
Edelbrock has posted up a very interesting tech tip that helps drivers of carbureted vehicles figure out what is causing an issue where the car might not start back up easily. If after driving the car for a while and then shutting the car off and then within the same hour you parked the car, it is hard to fire back up. heat soak could be the issue. The heat from the hot engine block and exhaust can soak into the carburetor and fuel lines making it hard to fire the car up. Thankfully, Edelbrock has some tips to fix this problem if you have it.
Edelbrock says that the first thing you need to do is be sure your fuel line is routed away from the hot exhaust and engine block. Once you ensure that the fuel line routing isn't causing your heat soak issues you can turn to a spacer between the carburetor and the intake manifold. You don't want just any spacer though; you want to get one that is made from wood fiber laminate or black phenolic plastic. Aluminum spacers offer little help according to Edelbrock. You will also want to be sure that you have the hood clearance for a spacer as well. Naturally, Edelbrock offers a full line of spacers so check out their wares and see if they might fix your hard start issues.

This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is the perfect dessert for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. An Oreo crust, fluffy peanut butter filling, fresh whipped cream and the perfect toppings make this treat a great choice for company or family game night!
This easy and delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie is from Chad and Donna Elick's new cookbook, "The Simple Kitchen – Quick and Easy Recipes Bursting with Flavor". It's just one of the many you'll find yourself making again and again.
You can find Chad and Donna's new cookbook HERE!
Can I tell you how very much I've grown to love cookbooks?
Growing up, it was always fun to look through my mother's and grandmother's I especially loved mom's Betty Crocker's Cooky Book! It was from like 1963 and all of the cookie pictures in there were AMAZING! We always made the Chocolate Crinkles because they were my favorite and I so loved the way they looked with the powdered sugar on top.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, but one can always have more!
In the next few months, you'll see me reviewing a few of them. Quite a few of my great and talented blogger friends have come out with some pretty fantastic cookbooks and just in time for the holidays!
They're going to be great to give as gifts or receive, so be sure you're putting them on your own Christmas wish list, too!
One thing I've started doing since my children are young adults and are off on their own, is giving them cookbooks now for Christmas every year. It not only starts their own collection, but also increases their interest and excitement in the kitchen. Besides, it's always great to try new recipes!
Donna and Chad are the talented and creative force behind The Slow Roasted Italian blog. I've "known" them for years! Seriously. Donna did a guest post for me WAAAYYYYY back in August, 2011 when our blogs were just babies. Wow, that seems like SOOO long ago!
It's amazing to think how blessed we've been, the opportunities we've had and the places we've been since we started 6 years ago. To think that we created these blogs from nothing and now we're working our ultimate dream jobs full-time just seriously blows me away.
Donna's guest post of the Chocolate Sformato with Amaretto Whipped Cream is a treasure. Not only is it a fantastic dessert, but I love that she was able to provide me with such fantastic content so early on in her blogging career. She'd only been doing it for a month and I knew then she was well on her way to awesome and amazing things and their fantastic new cookbook is just the beginning of many wonderful things to come!
So when I said I've "known" them for years, I don't lie. We've been friends thanks to the internet since 2011, but have never met in person. That needs to be remedied, especially since we live ONLY 20 minutes away from each other. Too funny!
There are SOOOO many great recipes in The Simple Kitchen Cookbook that I honestly had trouble deciding which one to put on the blog. I made the Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Taquitos and m y men loved them! They're going to be great to serve up on game days for sure.
I also made the Creamy Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles for dinner and that was a hit as well!
I'm looking forward to making this Homestyle Chicken and Biscuits because not only does it look delicious, but it's also super easy for clean up as it's made in one pan!
This Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe is sure to be a hit with my men. Who doesn't love an easy Alfredo sauce?
I remember growing up and having pot roast at Grandma's on Sunday. This Crockpot Pot Roast is FULL of flavor and is going to be a delicious dinner on a busy weeknight as well!
I'm sure there's something for everyone in this great cookbook! With 8 great chapters ranging from appetizers to desserts, one-pot wonders to everyday kitchen essentials I guarantee that this is one cookbook you'll go back to again and again!
This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie will be a great dessert any time of year! It will be a delicious treat after enjoying my Chicken Mozzarella Pasta, Lasagna Rolls with Meat Sauce for dinner. You can even put it on the menu for game day in addition to serving this Pepperoni Bread. Your hungry guest will love it and be back for more!
This No-Bake Peanut Butter Pie with an Oreo crust, peanut butter filling, and fresh whipped cream make it THE perfect choice for game night or any night!
Place the cookies into your food processor and pulse until they look like fine crumbs.
Slowly pour the butter in through the feed tube and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated in the butter.
Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch (23-cm) deep-dish pie plate and press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides to form the pie crust.
Place the pie crust into the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whip 3 cups (705 ml) of the heavy cream and 3/4 cup (90 g) of the powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Put the whipped cream into the refrigerator while you start the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and remaining 1 1/2 cups (180 g) of powdered sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Fold in half (just eyeball it) of the whipped cream until it is completely incorporated.
Scoop the filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth into an even layer.
Put the pie into the refrigerator while you prepare the toppings.
Combine the chocolate and the remaining 1/8 cup (30 ml) of heavy cream in a small microwave-safe mixing bowl.
Microwave for 45 seconds, let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes to let the chocolate melt into the cream completely and then stir until well-combined.
Sprinkle the peanut butter cups and peanuts over the top of the pie.

Opinion: Do Not Overlook Belarus in the Ukraine Crisis
By Nadia Liu
Growing up, I used to tell people I was Russian and Chinese, since nobody knew where Belarus and Taiwan were. Now, both countries are at the center of a heated geopolitical discussion. With the Russia-Ukraine War, Belarus is now known to the world as an aggressor, contributing to a brutal and unnecessary war. Still, there is much that most people do not know about the country. It is imperative to understand that the Belorusian regime and its people are not one and the same, and that the world should be empathetic towards the Belorusian people.
Belarus' current leadership can be described as an authoritarian dictatorship. Alexander Lukashenko, the country's first and only president, once called himself "the last dictator in Europe." There is no freedom of press, opponents of the regime are repressed, and elections are neither free nor fair.
Despite the atrocities that Lukashenko contributes to in Ukraine, it is important to understand that he also commits brutal injustices within his own country. In 2020, an unprecedented wave of peaceful protests swept Belarus following a fraudulent and corrupt presidential election. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya emerged as the leader of the democratic movement in Belarus after taking her jailed husband's place in the election. While Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory, independent polls showed that Tsikhanouskaya had won. Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets, on which riot police used excessive force, rubber bullets, and worse and detained almost 7,000 people. Belarusians bravely continued to demonstrate peacefully, but by mid-November more than 25,000 people had been detained, and with Putin's support, Lukashenko crushed the protests. With Putin's backing, the Belarusian people have no way to stand up for their own rights, let alone stand against a war their dictator is promoting, and it is essential that Belarusians are supported in their fight for freedom rather than blamed for a war they do not support.
This year, Lukashenko supported Putin in his invasion of Ukraine by inviting Russia to stage its troops and equipment on Belorussian soil, leading the world to blame Belarusians alongside Russians for the war. While Lukashenko and the regime should be punished, the Belarusian people should not. Belarusians view Ukrainians as neighbors, and the war is deeply unpopular, even despite aggressive propaganda: according to a new Chatham House poll, fewer than three percent of Belarusians favor offering military support to Russia. With all media channels being monitored and gatherings banned, there is no way to protest. Yet, Belarusians were quick to organize humanitarian aid for Ukrainians and even fight for Ukraine in volunteer regiments. It is entirely unfair to blame people who are fighting for human rights and freedom from a dictator for the war their dictator waged, that they have no method of stopping or protesting against.
For me, it is personal. I have family in Belarus, I have family in Ukraine. Maybe for you, it is not personal. Yet, I implore you to care, to support, to understand. "We need Belarus not to be overlooked because Belarus is not only a part of this crisis," Tsikhanouskaya told TIME. "Belarus can be part of the solution."

Q: C# - SQL WITH clause Just fishing for ideas-
I have a SQL statement that I need to parse in C#. It is formatted basically as follows -
    WITH TableX as (

    -- something else could be here..
    select field1, field2, .. fieldX
    from mytable
    -- something else could be here..

    )

    -- something else could be here..
    select /*THESE FIELDS ARE BEING REPLACED*/ TableX.field1, TableX.field2, .. TableX.fieldX
    from TableX
    -- something else could be here.. ie, more joins, selecting from subqueries. Basically another select could exist here.

Any ideas on how to replace "TableX.field1, TableX.field2, .. TableX.fieldX" with another group of field guaranteed to be in the result set?

A: you could use a complete sql parser to build a parse tree, then replace the items selectively from there.
non-trivial task.

Vermont finished 37th in a new study by the Tax Foundation ranking which states have the most business-friendly income tax structures.
Forty-one states levy individual income taxes that are broad-based. The seven that do not are Alaska, Florida, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Texas and Washington. The two remaining states – Tennessee and New Hampshire – tax only investment income, such as interest and dividends.
Individual income tax rates concern business owners because states tax sole proprietorships and certain classes of businesses using their income tax codes, according to the foundation. States that scored well in the analysis either had no income tax or a flat tax with low rates, while states with highly progressive income tax systems and high rates received lower rankings, the study said.

Q: How to match exact digits count by using regex in javascript I need to find 3 digits after all dots (.). If I give input "1.22.222", it should return false. If I give "1.222.222" then it should return true. I have tried the below regex but it didn't work.
var reg1 = new RegExp("\\.\\d{3}");
var reg2 = new RegExp("\\.\\d{3,3}");
reg1.test("1.22.222") // returns true, but i need to return false.

How to resolve this.

A: use this ^\d(\.\d{3})+$
Online demo

A: Maybe you could use ^[^\.]+(?:\.\d{3})+$
This will match

^         # From the beginning of the string
[^\.]+    # match NOT a dot one or more times
(?:       # A non capturing group
  \.\d{3} # Match a dot and 3 digits
)         # Close non capturing group and repeat one or more times
$         # The end of the string

A: var reg = new RegExp("^\d(\.\d{3})")
var out = reg.test("1.222.222")
console.log(out) // true
var out = reg.test("1.22.222")
console.log(out) // false
var out = reg.test("1.222.22")
console.log(out) // false

A: It need to begin with something before dot, and end with 3 digits before dot
var reg = new RegExp("^\\d(\\.\\d{3})+$");
var out = reg.test("1.222.222")
console.log(out) // true
var out = reg.test("1.22.222")
console.log(out) // false
var out = reg.test("1.222.22")
console.log(out) // false

In Jane Yolen's novel, The Devil's Arithmetic, a girl from a Jewish family in New Rochelle, New York, finds herself magically transported to a village in Europe during World War II. The villagers, all Jewish, are taken by Nazi soldiers to a concentration camp.

Rogue Kat It's explained in the book, why the title is The Devil's Arithmetic. The death of each Jew is added to the Devil's abacus. In the book, she also refers to it as being the days of survival in the concentration camp added up, one by one.
She embraces her aunt Eva and calls her Rivka, to her astonishment. They speak privately and Hannah fills in details she did not previously know. The movie ends with the entire family singing traditional songs at the table – the teenage Hannah is no longer alienated but is now part of the family.
The central theme of The Devil's Arithmetic is the importance and power of memory. At the opening of the novel, Hannah is bored and frustrated by her relatives' constant need to remember the past; she cannot understand why her grandparent's memories are so important to them.
Twelve-year-old Hannah is transported back in time to a Jewish village in 1941. Twelve-year-old Hannah is transported back in time to Nazi Germany, where she meets younger versions of her family members. Hannah and her family are arrested by Nazis and taken to a concentration camp.
Amanda Hill The Devil's Arithmetic is about the Holocaust. The Devil could literally be considered Hitler, but in this book it refers more to the general horror of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, numbers were tattooed on the arms of Jews for identification.
In The Devil's Arithmetic, the internal conflict of Chaya having to make a risky choice to let innocent people live is helped by the setting of a concentration camp during the Holocaust in the 1930s and 40s. The character Aunt Eva, known as Rivka, was saved by Chaya.

The Devil's Arithmetic is a story that takes place during the Holocaust. It is about suffering, tragedy, but also about hope and perseverance. In this story, Hannah/Chaya is the main character. It is about her life before she is transported to Poland 1942 and then during, while she is there.
The Climax of the story is when Chaya and Gitl try to escape from the concentration camps.
(Aunt Eva said that they changed their names when they got to America.) The epilogue at the end of the novel reveals that when the camp was liberated, the survivors were Gitl (weighing a mere seventy-three pounds), Yitzchak, Rivka, and Leye (a worker in the camp) and her baby.
At the end of the novel, Hannah discovers that Rivka is her Aunt Eva.
In the film, a woman is discovered to be hiding her baby, and both mother and child are taken away, presumably to be killed. Also, 11-year-old Sarah is gassed at the end.

In the same installation, goods of different turnovers can co-exist, classified on the basis of consumption criteria (type A, B, C). Taking this fact into account, and factors such as capacity or required installation flows, each product should be deposited in a different storage system based on their characteristics. Automatically, a question arises: what is the ideal system?
In reality, there is no exact rule to determine the most appropriate solution, but there are factors that influence its choice.
The best storage system is one that responds to the needs and constraints of each particular installation, in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Number of pallets per SKU.
Operations in general, i.e., the flow of goods.
Handling machines available or that have the possibility of being replaced.
In addition, it is essential to understand the features and benefits of each system to find the one that matches up with each warehouse.
Solutions can be grouped into either direct access or high-density applications.
Direct access racks are characterised as such because the products are in the working aisle. In this way, they confer a great agility for managing goods and an optimal occupation of locations is attained, to the detriment of greater surface exploitation.
For that reason, storage capacity is less compared to other systems. Direct access is advisable when you have many SKUs and few pallets of each one of them.
On the other hand, high-density systems attain greater surface occupation and therefore more storage space, is spite of losing accessibility to load units. Some systems may offer little agility in its operations and tend to have less effective capacity.
High-density storage systems are appropriate if you house few SKUs and many pallets of each one of them. In some cases, it is necessary to separate the product by consumption criteria; therefore, you can combine different storage systems. A company's ultimate goal is to be competitive with minimal operating costs, so it is essential to implement the ideal solution with the lowest return of investment time.
Conventional racks can be installed in double-depth configurations. Two pallets are accessible on the same side of the aisle, one placed behind the other.
The racks have a wide variety of accessories to suit any load unit type, such as pallets, drums, coils, containers of different forms, profiles, goods on shelves, etc.
Conventional racks are recommended when it is necessary to perform picking operations directly on the lower levels, for installations with bulky items, or in small warehouses with high consumer products and few pallets per SKU.
The type of handling equipment used determines the aisle sizes and racking heights, which generates greater or lesser storage capacity. However, in some cases it is to the detriment of the system's agility. In the following pictures, the effect of incorporating different equipment is compared.
Stackers are one of the simplest handling equipment; therefore, their functionality is limited and they are often used in very small warehouses or as supplements to other machinery. They need 2.20 m wide aisles.
Likewise, the front entry, counterbalanced forklift is characterised by its simplicity and agility, although the electric version is the most suitable for working inside warehouses. It requires a working aisle that can range between 3.20 m and 3.50 m. This solution offers little capacity, by the scant optimisation of floor surfaces and space at heights, as they are never more than 7.5 m high.
In contrast, reach trucks allow maximum storage capacity. Aisles are narrower (between 2.6 and 2.9 m) and the racking levels higher (can exceed 10.5 m). In this way, it makes better use of the space and height.
Reach trucks are the most commonly used handling equipment in medium and large warehouses.
On the other hand, bilateral or trilateral forklifts are used in particularly high conventional racks that reach a height of 15 m. They work in even narrower aisles (between 1.5 and 1.8 m), which maximises storage capacity.
Their greatest disadvantage is that they are slow and dangerous in shared areas. In that case, it is recommended that other equipment perform movements between the conveyors and the other areas of the warehouse.
Their advantage is that they achieve space savings and a considerable increase in the storage capacity by requiring fewer working aisles.
It is also true that its use is quite limited due to system restrictions, mainly the low load capacity at higher levels.
When it comes to installing double-depth racking, it is necessary to know the deflection of the forks once they are extended and loaded. As such, it is likely that clearances at higher levels must be greater than in single-depth facilities.
In principle, extendible forks can be placed in the different forklift models, but the most commonly used are the retractable type.
Moreover, operator visibility decreases the greater the height. Cameras must be attached onto forklifts to facilitate vision and prevent accidents.
Racks are placed on mobile bases which move sideways autonomously along the rails. This system enables space compaction, with a single working aisle to access the racks. As a result, an increase in storage capacity of between 80% and 120% is achieved with respect to the static racks, at the expense of a less agile operation.
Depending on the number of pallets that have to be moved and the number of forklifts that operate at the same time, the number of necessary aisles is determined. If you compare the images, you can see that with only a single working aisle maximum capacity is obtained, but with two or more greater agility is garnered.
It is a highly recommended solution for the storage of low turnover (type C) products and, which must remain a time without moving – in quarantine –, pending the implementation of quality controls.
Mobile racks are frequently used in medium and small sized cold storage (refrigerated or frozen). Cold storage provides a sizable and permanent energy savings due to the optimal distribution of cold between the pallets.
This is the easiest and most economical option of all the high-density systems. It is composed of a set of racks that form aisles in its interior, which have support rails. All levels of each aisle must accommodate the same SKU. It is ideal for use with high consumption products and when rotation is not a priority.
Storage capacity is higher than in conventional racking; however, more manoeuvring time is needed, as handling equipment should enter the aisle interior to deposit or extract the pallets.
When designing the installation, a suitable depth should be analysed: the higher the lane, the more capacity is obtained and the fewer number of aisles required, but this also increases handling times.
When more access aisles are opened, more agility is gained in the handling of load units, despite reducing storage capacity.
There is the possibility of installing drive-in racks with different distributions depending on the management needs of the goods.
Unlike the drive-in racking, each level is independent and can accommodate a different SKU. Therefore, they are very suitable when medium consumption products are stored.
Handling times are much shorter, because it is not necessary that forklifts enter the aisles to collect or deposit the pallets.
The system is based on racking, which has a strip of rollers or a few trolleys that move along the rails on each lane level.
The strips are placed on a forward incline in order to use gravity flow, so when removing the pallet closest to the aisle, the rest move forward, leaving a new load unit available for extraction.
By using trolleys, levels of up to four pallets in depth can be installed. In contrast, with rollers it is possible to locate between six and eight pallets depending on the weight.
In the push-back system, you can store as many SKUs as channels available.
This system benefits from some of the advantages of push-back racks: each channel allows the location of a different SKU and forklifts do not enter the racks, but it is the motorised shuttle, which performs the movements inside the channels. Its main advantage is that aisles can exceed 40 m in depth. For that reason, it leverages the space better and optimises storage volume.
With the help of reach trucks, operators place the motorised shuttle in the corresponding channel and deposit the pallets in the first rack position. Then the Pallet Shuttle moves directly and autonomously to the next free location. To extract the goods, the same operation is done but in reverse order.
The Pallet Shuttle is a good solution for high turnover products, with massive inputs and outputs.
In the first place, if you choose a single block and a single working aisle, this achieves maximum storage capacity with multiple channels for a single SKU.
For this reason, this system is recommended when there are few SKUs and the number of pallets of each of them is very high. In addition, it offers direct access to all channels and streamlines the trajectory of the forklifts.
At the same time, racks can be installed on both sides of a single working aisle. A greater number of storage channels are acquired – albeit shallower –, with more effective capacity and better exploited locations.
Finally, a single racking block with two access aisles, one entry and one exit, can be installed. It is perfect when the warehouse operates by the FIFO (first in, first out) criterion.
However, effective storage capacity is diminished, since channels are not re-filled until they are completely empty. The Pallet Shuttle could relocate pallets, but it is impractical.
This system ensures FIFO flow without losing effective capacity: when the first pallet is removed, the others automatically move a position by gravity. It is often used for high turnover products, be they perishable or high consumption with a continuous flow.
It takes advantage of the available space, with lanes that can be more than 20 m deep. The handling of pallets is very agile: they are put into the load aisle, glide by gravity to the opposite end and are ready for extraction. The space savings, the reduction of the manoeuvring times and the virtual absence of maintenance enable a rapid return on investment.
Automation is the evolution of traditional systems. It replaces forklifts and the personnel that handle them with stacker cranes, conveyors and/or transfer cars.
There is the possibility of automating warehouses that are less than 15 m high, and thus replace bilateral or trilateral forklifts with stacker cranes and achieve greater productivity. Nevertheless, it is more common to install long, tall warehouses – today they can be 45 m high –, so that the cost per pallet is less and the total capacity increased.
When building an automated warehouse, the ideal is to have enough length and height at hand. This maximises the built-up area, hence greater storage capacity. Both productivity and management improve thanks to automation.
Depending on the flow of movements inside the warehouse, single or double-depth racks are installed. Single-depth offers fast and direct access to the pallets, because all the load units are positioned next to the aisle. Therefore, the deposit and extraction process is more agile. This is recommended if there is a wide variety of SKUs.
On the other hand, double-depth racking significantly increases capacity and reduces the number of aisles and, thus, stacker cranes. This also entails a decrease in the initial investment concerning single-depth solution.
A warehouse with live pallet racks can be automated with the installation of a stacker crane in the centre aisle, benefiting from the great merits that this represents.
For example, the increase in capacity due to height growth and to the width reduction of the aisles.
Automation is particularly appropriate for high consumption, constant production and with very high turnover products. This solution is also used as an intermediate buffer, between the manufacture and the dispatch area.
The solution represented in the image is ideal in warehouses with continuous input from production areas with intensive timetables. Operators use fork lifts to perform outputs during work hours in the dispatch zone.
A warehouse with the Pallet Shuttle system serviced by automatic machines benefiting from the merits of full automation. You can choose between two solutions with varying uses and assets: the stacker crane or the transfer car.
The choice between the stacker crane and the transfer car will depend on the number of SKUs, the quantity of pallets available and mainly the number of cycles to perform.
When installing a single central aisle for the entry and exit of goods, the available space is maximised and you obtain greater capacity. Automation is advisable to achieve a significant increase in productivity, and when the movement of a large number of pallets per hour is needed. The stacker crane or transfer car can circulate in the aisle on each one of the levels.
If the images are crosschecked, it can be seen that both cases have a very similar number of locations. The difference lies in how having the transfer car in front of the stacker cranes affects the potential to move pallets. In these two examples, the combination of the Pallet Shuttle and a transfer car on each level allows a significant increase in the number of cycles.
Even so, an intermediate solution can also be used that consists in installing two or more aisles. In this case, the lanes are shallower, thereby reducing the warehouse capacity. However, this doubles or triples the agility and the potential of movements.
The following table shows a schematic comparison between the different pallet rack solutions – direct access, high-density and automated – and the requirements that have greater influence.
This diagram graphically represents the main data that should be analysed to design a warehouse. It is important to stress that many of the concepts expressed in the table are relative and must be assessed alongside other factors, depending on the logistics required for each installation.

Taking a Knee: haunted memetic counter-activism
Solomon Lennox*
In May 2020, the world witnessed Derek Chauvin, a serving White police officer, murder George Floyd, a Black American male. A video of the murder, shot by Darnella Frazier, documented Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck for a little under eight minutes. The video served as a call to action with protests erupting throughout the summer of 2020 across the USA. Activists took to the streets demanding an end to police brutality and systemic racism. The act of kneeling became a recurrent symbol of these protests. This article specifically focuses on instances where police officers have taken the knee opposite protesters. The author argues that, within this context, kneeling is a memetic performance; it is a unit of cultural information passed on through repetition and mutation. Through mutation (repetition with difference), the symbolic meaning of the act changes. In the case of police officers kneeling opposite protesters, the act purportedly symbolizes moments of solidarity and understanding between the two sides. Much like the video that inspired the protests, instances of officers kneeling opposite protesters were captured, disseminated via social media and went viral. The stillness of these moments promised hope for movement towards a more equitable and humane future. But these images serve as a form of dirty data as they document a future yet to materialize. To this end, the act of kneeling is a haunted gesture, serving as a form of counter-activism. The act of kneeling by police officers, irrespective of the intentions of the individuals involved, does not solicit an encounter with the ghosts of police brutality and systemic racism. Rather the act, as a mutated form of activism, simultaneously disrupts the atmosphere of protests and reclaims narratives about police conduct, without enacting meaningful change.

The Scabrous protein can act as an extracellular antagonist of Notch signaling in the Drosophila wing
E. Chiang Lee, Sung Yun Yu, Nicholas E. Baker
Notch (N) is a receptor for signals that inhibit neural precursor specification [1-6]. As N and its ligand Delta (Dl) are expressed homogeneously, other molecules may be differentially expressed or active to permit neural precursor cells to arise intermingled with non-neural cells [7,8]. During Drosophila wing development, the glycosyltransferase encoded by the gene fringe (fng) promotes N signaling in response to Dl, but inhibits N signaling in response to Serrate (Ser), which encodes a ligand that is structurally similar to Dl. Dorsal expression of Fng protein localizes N signaling to the dorsoventral (DV) wing margin [9-11]. The secreted protein Scabrous (Sca) is a candidate for modulation of N in neural cells. Mutations at the scabrous (sca) locus alter the locations where precursor cells form in the peripheral nervous system [12,13]. Unlike fringe, sca mutations act cell non-autonomously [12]. Here, we report that targeted misexpression of Sca during wing development inhibited N signaling, blocking expression of all N target genes. Sca reduced N activation in response to Dl more than in response to Ser. Ligand-independent signaling by overexpression of N protein, or by expression of activated truncated N molecules, was not inhibited by Sca. Our results indicate that Sca can act on N to reduce its availability for paracrine and autocrine interactions with Dl and Ser, and can act as an antagonist of N signaling.
