Closed captioning for this video is available on YouTube: Using iCloud Drive.
Hi this is Gary with MacMost.com. On today's episode let's take a close look at iCloud Drive.
Now previously you may have stored all of your files in the Documents folder. In your User folder and the Documents folder you can create any kind of hierarchy of different folders with project names and put any type of file you want in there. That's kind of where your documents lived.
That is still there and still available. But another option is to use iCloud Drive now for the same sort of thing. If you have already been using iCloud Drive, say with iOS 8, then you will probably notice folders here for things like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. These are the classic iCloud applications that have been using iCloud documents for a long time. What we haven't seen up until now is the ability to look in the Finder to see what is inside these folders.
So I can see here what is in my Pages folder. This is equivalent to what I would see if I was looking in Pages in iOS 8 and just going to open a document there. I would see those same files there. So this is the Pages document's area for iCloud. Now we can see it with iCloud Drive and the same for any other iCloud documents application whether it is Numbers, Keynote, or some third party app.
You are also going to see apps like TextEdit that use iCloud but there is no iOS 8 equivalent. There is no TextEdit app on iOS 8. So this is only really for sharing between Macs. If I were to use TextEdit to open a document in another Mac, say my laptop, then I would be able to see the same files that are in here in the TextEdit space.
But in addition to that with iCloud Drive I can also create my own folders like I have here or just put files here at the main level. So really use it just like the Documents folder and put my own set of folders here and put any file I want into them. I can put images into them. I can put files that don't have a supporting iCloud app like some design documents or things like that where they don't fit Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. I can put Microsoft word documents in here if I wanted to.
Your iCloud Drive documents stay in sync with your other Macs. So, for instance, here I'm looking at my desktop Mac and I've got the iCloud Drive folder open. I've got Screen Share here showing my laptop, my MacBook Air which is sitting next to it. You can see I've got that open also to show iCloud Drive.
On my desktop here, my local drive, I've got this Testing.txt file. So I'm going to drop this test file into iCloud Drive and it will appear here in iCloud Drive and then if I give it just a few seconds it will also sync over and appear here on the MacBook Air. You can see there it is and you can even see a progress bar as it adds it. So I've got that now added automatically and you can see these two folders, these two iCloud Drive folders, which are the same folder but this one exists on my local drive and this one is on another Mac. They will stay in sync.
All the files are really in three places here. They are on my local desktop drive, they automatically sync to the iCloud Drive server at Apple, and then they sync over to any other Macs that I've got that are using the same Apple ID that does have the same shared iCloud Drive.
Now here you can see my iCloud Drive folder on my Mac. I'm looking inside the Pages folder here to see what is there. I've got three files and a subfolder. Then on the other side of the screen you can see my iPad and I've got Pages open and I can see the same documents in there just on the Documents screen. If I were to add a new one you would see it appear, copied from one to the other.
So let's add one here on the iPad. I'll just create a blank one, put test, and then I will just name it test2. Then I'll go back to the Documents screen and you can see test2 is there and if I wait I'll see that test2 will now go over here. It says updating one document and it's sending it to the iCloud server and then once it is in the iCloud server my Mac will recognize that there is a new file there and will update it here. You can see it is here. There is a little symbol there saying it is not yet downloaded but if I just wait a few more seconds the symbol will disappear as it syncs to the Mac. Now I've got this file in both places.
Now what about outside of the Pages folder. Say I've stored something else on iCloud Drive but not in the Pages folder. I've put it in this folder I created called Project A and its a Pages document. Well, I can open that by going and hitting the plus button at the upper left in Pages there, hitting iCloud and now I can see the entire iCloud Drive including the Project A folder. Select that, select that document there, and it will open up that document but not only that it is going to put a link to it here in the Pages folder here, and you can see it adds In iCloud Drive after it. So now when I go back to document you can see that my doc is now listed there. It has got a different color to the name but it kind of makes it easy to find Pages documents that aren't stored inside the Pages folder.
You can almost ignore the Pages folder, if you want, and just create your own subfolders and then get these documents as you need them.
Now another way you can access your files in iCloud Drive is using iCloud.com. You go to iCloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and there is an iCloud Drive icon there. You can go in there and you can see not only your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote and other app's folders there but you can also go into your custom made folders and see those files there.
You can even open up these files here in the actual app's in the web side of things. So I can use the Pages web version to open up that Pages document there.
Now another thing you can use iCloud Drive for is for supporting documents. So, for instance, say I put an image here in my Project A folder on my iCloud Drive. Then on my iPad I want to import an image into a document. So let's go to the test2 document here and put the cursor right there. I'm going to then hit the plus symbol. I can see my photo albums here where I can insert an image and that is as before. But I've got Insert From now. Tap Insert From and I can see my iCloud files. I can go to Project A. Sure enough there is the image there. I can select that one and it will import in. There you go.
So without adding an image to my Camera Roll or bringing it into Photos at all I can actually bring it in here to Pages just using iCloud Drive. Kind of like you would do it on a Mac if you were using Pages. You can just bring the file in very easily.
You can also use iCloud Drive to export files. So, for instance, say I'm in this Pages document here and I want to share it. I'm going to say Send a Copy. It is going to ask me to choose a Format. So say I want to send it in pdf format. I can now choose how to send. You can see I have the Send to little folder with an arrow there. I can select a folder in iCloud Drive and hit Export to this location. Now it will send it out and I will see it actually appear on my Mac after a few seconds. There it is.
No iCloud Drive App for iOS? Seems like if this is going to bring back the functionality of iDrive (remember that?), or replace DropBox, the app-based iOS interface is sort of non-sensical. What if I had a photo stored on iCloud Drive and wanted to view it on iOS? No way to do that? Unless I am missing something, Dropbox does the exact same thing, but allows access viewing of ANY document on iOS. Am I wrong? Is this a replacement for iDrive that still does not replace iDrive?
iOS doesn't have a file system like OS X or Windows. Files aren't just "there" by themselves, never have been.
Third-party developers can do things with iCloud Drive, so we may see apps like photo or PDF viewers appear at some point.
I don't think Apple has claimed that this is a replacement for iDrive. That was more about online storage, not really syncing and existed when there was only one OS to deal with.
I'm using an iPhone IOS 8.1 but I don't see existing folders from Pages and Keynote like your videos shows. I have setup a custom folder in Yosemiti iCloud drive which I can see in iCloud.
Have you created documents in those apps and saved them to iCloud drive? If not, the folders wouldn't exist yet.
I had documents in there.
It's working now – maybe a glitch but signing in and out of icloud on my iPhone seemed to fix it.
Thanks for your reply and thanks for all the videos!
Since you can store number files anywhere in your cloud folder structure, I was hoping the same thing could happen with PDFs. So I made a cloud folder, place a PDFs in it via web browser, then tried to access it via iBooks on my iPad. Is there a way to do something like this?
You've got the right idea. The problem is that iBooks is not an app that accesses iCloud Drive. Maybe it will be in the future. But if you find an app that handles PDFs and also accesses iCloud Drive, then you can do it. "Documents 5" for instance. Tried it with that one and it works. I can open a PDF on my iCloud Drive and read it.
Goodreader does what you want.
I've read that you can only only add one level of nesting to folders. True? You can do multiple levels on Dropbox, just like in the Finder.
Are iCloud Drive documents available on each device when offline?
Not true. Multiple nested folders work fine. Perhaps you were reading about the old iCloud documents system pre-Mavericks and iOS 8?
As for offline, yes, for Mac. It works just like DropBox. Each Mac gets a local copy and then you can edit it offline and it will sync when online again. For iOS 8 it works like DropBox too. You have to request (open) the file first, but then it should be available offline. I suppose if you had a huge file that was taxing your iOS or Mac's storage space and the file has been swapped out when not being used, you might not find it there when offline. Same as DropBox, I think, I've never run into the situation with either cloud system.
Bummed.. I don't see a way to make a "public" folder on iCloud drive; neither do I see a way to "Share a folder" A La Dropbox. I was really hoping to get rid of Dropbox. Guess I still have to keep it..
Are the local copies of files in iDrive (on a Mac) included in Time Machine Backups – and can they be easily restored? Likewise – on iOS devices – are the local copies of iDrive files included in iPhone/iPad backups? Is there anything special to know about backing up and restoring to iDrive?
It doesn't appear that Time Machine backs up anything more than maybe the very latest files in iCloud Drive (iDrive was an old product of Apple's so I'd prefer not to use that to avoid confusion). But of course since the files are also on Apple's servers, you don't have to fear losing them when your local hard drive crashes. I doubt they are included in iOS iCloud backups too, as that would be redundant.
Thanks Gary – I think I will actually do a test to see what Time Machine backs up from the local iCloud Drive folder. The reason I brought up the backup issue – is that what happens when you unknowingly "corrupt" a file – or delete a file – and that change syncs everywhere – including iCloud. The only recovery option would be from a backup. I doubt that iCloud backup would backup contents of iCloud Drive.
My tests show that all of the files and folders outside of app-controlled folders (like Pages, Numbers, Keynote) are backed up in Time Machine and you can go to previous versions.
That makes sense because if you think about it, the apps all use "versions." If you ware working on a Pages document, you can revert to any previous saved versions of that document from inside the app. So it is redundant to have a few old versions in Time Machine when you have all old versions in the file itself. As for deleting, if that happens the file moves to the local drive trash and you can recover it from there. And the most important function of Time Machine, protecting from local hard drive failure, is a non-issue with cloud storage.
Thanks Gary – Sounds like you have already done the research – so I won't put extensive effort into it. I currently don't keep any "important" files in iCloud – but I may start to do that soon. Your videos are extremely helpful and I look forward to each new one.
Gary, thank you so much for that video. Clearest explanation yet I've seen of iCloud Drive. I'm going to jump in.
of files across to my iclouddrive.
It does not appear to be syncing?
Any way to do a force sync or find out progress of sync?
50GB is a lot of data. How long have you waited? Depending on your Internet connection, it could take from 1 hour to 10 minutes to upload 1GB. Maybe more. Then it has to download to your other device at the same speed. So it could take days to sync that much data.
Even though there is no user-accessible file system on iOS devices, it still seems to me that Apple can and should provide an iCloud Drive app for these iOS devices in much the same way that Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud services provide iOS apps. Using such apps, users can "see" the folder structure as it exists on their Mac. And putting different types of documents (e.g., Pages, Numbers, Keynote) in the same folder can be useful.
I am wondering if iCloud drive works like dropbox, i.e., is there are copy of the documents physically located on the computer. If so, where is that folder?
Yes. Just click on iCloud Drive in the left sidebar of any Finder window and you are there.

Q: CSS - Separation of Color and Position I'm just wondering what others do in this respect:
Do you try to keep positional CSS (layout) separate from color/flavor CSS (color, background-color, background-images, font-size and family) ?
Use two stylesheets? Combine two stylesheets server-side? Abstraction layer for the CSS?
or you don't even try?
I know sometimes after working on the same web project for six months I can usually live with the positional CSS but end up wanting to change the colors/images.

A: You'll find that in large-scale projects, layout and color/flavor CSS will (if you're smart about it) usually just happen to be separate.  Firstly, if you're catching yourself setting color/font-size/font-family style rules over and over, you're wasting your time.  Typically you should define your fonts in one place: the body tag.  Any additional fonts should be defined in their respective tags... h1, h2, p, etc.  In my opinion it's not good practice to give these tags positional directives; they should be placed inside a div that will be responsible for their layout.  Same goes for color and font size.  I think the only exception to the rule would typically be background stuff, which is especially true if you have lots of gradients and fancy things like that.
Really what it comes down to is planning; a well-planned project needs very few color/flavor style rules.  So to answer your question, yes, I usually have a "Global.css" file that defines all of my fonts and colors for h1-h5, a, p, and any other tags that will contain text.
Edit:
Usually, since the projects I work in are fairly large-scale and have a number of different modules, we separate the styles with in a sort of hierarchy; this makes sense because of the way CSS works -- as long as you don't change the style-rules put into place at the "base" (or in our case, the global.css) somewhere down the line, the styles will stick.  This helps because when we want to modify the font of our site, we simply change the font-family rule at the "body" tag, and it will propagate throughout the entire site.
So, our stylesheet layout works something like this:
Global.css (Fonts/Text/Primary font colors)
--> genericBase.css (basic page structures such as columns that are used throughout the site)
--> nav.css (left-hand nav and/or top nav bar)
--> formLayout.css (labels, inputs, fieldsets, any other form stuff)
-----> forums.css (individual modules' styles that may deviate a bit from the usual structures, or simply things specific to those pages)
-----> blogs.css
-----> messages.css (etc etc etc)

The arrows here are meant to imply the "order" of the files in the hierarchy.  The longer the arrow, the further down in the style-sheet the rules these files contain would be, if we had put all of the styles into one file.
So you see, the whole idea is to start with very general styles and work your way down to the most specific.  Remember that the order in which your CSS files load matters to the browser.  You can use this to your advantage.  The interesting thing is, by the time we get to our specific modules' css files, we have very few styles to write because most of the other important stuff has actually work itself out along the way.
So like I said, planning is vitally important.  I've found that this methodology makes it easier to "debug" my styles, and I use almost no hacks at all, usually only for silly ie6 stuff.
Let me know if you need more information.  I'm glad this is helpful to you.

A: I used to separate them but it was more difficult to maintain. The problem is that many "formatting" properties will have an effect on the layout and many "layout" properties may actually be design.
Some examples:
While "border" may be considered a "formatting" property, they do take some amount of space so you will need to adjust your layout when setting or removing borders.
"line-height" is tied to the font-size and may be considered a "formatting" property, but it has a huge influence on the size of your elements and how they vertically align each other.
Margins and paddings are sometimes needed for the layout and sometimes used just for formatting.
If you think hard about it, there are very few properties that actually are purely formatting or purely layout.
It's often easier to just keep everything in the same file and try to keep it clean by having your declarations orders, related properties grouped, etc.

A: I keep everything together in a single file and use the folders feature in CSSEdit to keep it organised. Web design company Viget have a blog post about this technique here.

A: I tend to keep all the CSS together, without separating "color styles" from "positional styles" or "layout styles". I find that when I often try to debug a specific "module" it's easier to have all the CSS rules applied to one selector, and not spread out over the style sheet.
However, I do suggest you read Creating Sexy Stylesheets over at thinkvitamin.com. One thing I do is list the rules in a certain order everytime, so I know within the declaration block where to find what I want.
More info at Jina Bolton's http://creatingsexystylesheets.com/

A: I separated my layout and color styles recently, and I now have several css files, which i import as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style-default.css" title="Default Style" media="screen" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style-bw.css" title="Black and White" media="screen" />

All layout is in style.css, then colors are in style-default.css.
This way I have a standard style, but users also have the option to change the colors. This not only offers options for the user, but it makes it easy to make color changes without touching the layout (I tend to change my colors much more often).
In Firefox my color options show up in the view menu under "Page Style."

A: I've fallen into the pattern of separating my CSS out into the following:

*

*Layout (headers, footers, logos - general chrome)

*Typography (fonts, sizes, re-usable inline font styles)

*Widgets

The latter category is generally made up of CSS code I re-use between projects, and usually gets split down itself into:

*

*Forms (left-aligned, right-aligned, styles for required fields, etc)

*Grids (2-col, 4-col, etc etc etc - about 20 or so varieties)

*Hacks (IE/other CSS hacks)

*Other stuff (AJAX widgets, toolbars, comment boxes, etc - anything re-usable)

For colours, I just keep a cheat-sheet text file around. Keeping them in a separate stylesheet will probably only work if you are very, very disciplined.

A: I have started to use classes to handle colors specifically.
.element{margin, padding, layout stuff}
.ourcolor{#some color}
It lengthens the class attribute though:
< div class="element ourcolor" >
However, I can reuse the color:
< span class="ourcolor" >Some text
So far I prefer it as adjusting colors is much easier.

A: As Mark W pointed out, Creating Sexy Stylesheets is a fantastic read.  One thing they do advocate is separating the styling concerns through a framework:

*

*screen.css - A screen CSS file can either have all your styles you want to be used for on screen, and/or can import additional styles, such as the following:

*

*reset.css - A reset CSS file can be used to "reset" all the default browser styling, which can help make it easier to achieve cross-browser compatibility.

*typography.css - A typography CSS file can define your typefaces, sizes, leading, kerning, and possibly even color.

*grid.css - A grid CSS file can have your layout structure (and act as the wireframe of your site, by defining the basic header, footer, and column set up).

*print.css - A print CSS file would include your styles you want to be used when the page is printed.

If you follow this pattern, the colors would go in your typography.css, and layout would be in your grid.css.

A: I keep everything in one file and only provide different files for alternative styles (e.g. for printing).
Within that file I keep the overall layout (columns, headeer & footer) seperate from the actual contents (paragraphs, headings, lists...)
I am used to thinking object oriented, so I group the styles for different objects (menus, blog posts) together. From that perspective, colour and position both belong to the same object and therefore are kept together.
I am wishing for the ability to define colours once in a style sheet, assign them a declarative name (e.g. 'HeadingColour') and then use the name when assigning the colour to a selector...

Cyprus >
Sporting Activities In Cyprus
All types of sporting activities can be found on the island, ranging from water bourne activities such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving to inland based activities such as horse riding, tennis and bicycle hire.
On most beaches, buoys will separate the swimming area from that of water sport vessels. Most main beaches have a lifeguard on site during the holiday season and flags are displayed to advise on swimming conditions. Always use a registered organisation for water sports.
Cyprus is one of the only destinations in the world where, in spring-time, you can snow-ski in the morning in the Troodos mountains and then go water-skiing in Coral Bay in the afternoon.
Tennis Tennis clubs are in the major towns of Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Paralimni. Many of the larger hotels also have tennis courts and are usually very willing to hire out their facilities on an hourly basis and will usually, although not always, provide equipment. Costs vary at the discretion of the site.
Sailing In winter the average sea temperature is 17°C thus making Cyprus ideal for year round sailing and yachting. Sailing vessels of all sorts can be hired in most major resorts.
Prices vary considerably depending on the type of boat required. As a rough guide a sailing boat is approximately €22 per hour up to a speed boat at around €65 per half hour.
Hiking Hiking is very popular particularly in the spring when the temperature is cooler and the landscape still green. The Cyprus Tourist Organisation provide, free of charge, booklets containing full details of many interesting walks in many locations on the island. The two most popular routes are the Akamas peninsular and the Troodos mountains.
Watersports Water sports are available all over the island and charges on public beaches are approved by the Central Beach Committees. Prices do vary from resort to resort but, as a rough guide, windsurfers are approximately €10 per hour, jet skis €22 for 15 minutes, banana rides €5 for 15 minutes and ring rides €7 for 15 minutes.
Scuba Diving The crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea surrounding Cyprus is a colourful world in which to dive if you want to enjoy a breath of serenity. With water temperatures varying from 27 to 16 degrees Celsius, and sunshine almost all year around. Cyprus offers one of the longest diving seasons in the Mediterranean.
Organized Sub-Aqua clubs and Diving centres can be found in all towns and resorts, as well as at a number of hotels.

Horse Riding There are many horse riding stables across the length and breadth of the island. Most offer a range of treks for beginners or advanced riders. Depending on the district you may take a ride through pine clad forests or a sunset gallop along the seashore.
The average cost will be approximately €55 per hour.
Bike Hire Bicycle hire is available in most towns and seaside resorts at a cost of between €9-20 a day. Mountain biking is particularly popular in Troodos. Traffic drives on the same side as the UK and road signage is in English. This makes it easier for less experienced cyclists abroad.
Fishing Anglers have a choice here. For sea fishing there are organised boat trips in almost every resort or you may fish from the rockier coastlines. No licence is required for this or for spear fishing. Cyprus has 21 inland reservoirs throughout the island and these are generally well stocked with trout, bass, carp, perch, roach and other varieties of fish. Licences are required to fish the reservoirs and anglers must be over 12 years old. The licence fee is currently €20 to fish in one reservoir or €35 covers them all. Licences are available from the department of fisheries, and there are branches in all major coastal
Skiing In Cyprus snow skiing can be enjoyed from January to the end of March most years.

One of our most challenging jobs this month was quarry tile cleaning and restoration of the 150 year old floor tiles in the English Heritage Grade 11 Listed Building, Trinity House in Sale.
Great care was needed during the quarry tile cleaning and restoration as it was vitally important to retain the character of the floor. Years of adhesives, dirt and grime were all meticulously removed by hand, using specially formulated stripping agents. This was followed by an intense quarry tile cleaning programme, incorporating diamond encrusted brushes and low odour, soil releasing agents.
Once the quarry tile cleaning process had been completed, seven coats of our own formulations of natural stone sealer and natural stone gloss, were carefully applied to give the floor stronger durability and of course, to ensure our clients desired finish was obtained.
Looking at the pictures, we're sure you'll agree, our technician Steve Twigg has performed a great job that we can all be proud of.

Als ANSI , englisch für ANSI-Musik, wird eine Erweiterung zu ANSI-BBS bezeichnet, mit der per ANSI-Escapesequenzen einfache Melodien auf dem PC-Lautsprecher ausgeben werden können.

BBS-Clients und ANSI-Treiber
ANSI-Musik war nur auf , kurz BBS, verbreitet und benötigt einen BBS-Client oder einen ANSI-Treiber, der ANSI  unterstützt. Programme dafür blieben hauptsächlich auf PC-kompatibles DOS wie MS-DOS beschränkt. Nur wenige dieser Programme wurden auch auf Windows 9x und Windows NT portiert. Bekannte DOS-Programme mit ANSI-Musik-Unterstützung:
 QModem
 Telemate
 CI Link
 Slick Terminal
 SMT
 QCom
 BananaCom

Einfache Programme mit Unterstützung für ANSI  unter DOS sind A_TYPE, eine Umsetzung von TYPE, der ANSI-Treiber ANSIALL sowie das Abspielprogramm ANSIPLAY.

Aufbau

ANSI-Escapesequenz
Der Aufbau der Musik-Funktion ist als Erweiterung für ANSI.SYS angelegt und wird mit der Escapesequenz CSI, Control Sequence Intro, eingeleitet, gefolgt vom Buchstaben N. Die ursprüngliche Einleitung war ←[M, diese ist allerdings in ANSI X3.64 bzw. ECMA-48 bereits für SGR0, Zeichenattribute ausschalten, vergeben, weshalb in späteren Versionen (ab Mitte der 1990er Jahre) die Einleitung ←[N verwendet wird. ANSI-BBS-Programme der späten 1990er Jahre können meist jedoch beide Varianten korrekt interpretieren.

Bei ANSI-CSI-Escapesequenzen wird die Funktion erst mit dem letzten Zeichen festgelegt. ANSI  verwendet dafür  unter DOS, was ASCII SO an Position 14 dezimal bzw. 0E hexadezimal entspricht. DOS-üblich ist die Schreibweise ^N.  wird in DOS in den meisten Texteditoren mit dem Linkspfeil ← dargestellt.

Der gesamte Aufbau von ANSI-Musik folgt damit der ANSI-Escapesequenz CSI:
 ←[N <Musik-Befehle...> ^N
Das entspricht dezimal 027 091 078 <Musik-Befehle...> 014 oder hexadezimal 1B 5B 4E <Musik-Befehle...> 0E.

Musik-Befehle und Syntax
Für die Tonausgabe ist ANSI  angelehnt an die Funktion PLAY von BASIC. Da in MS-DOS bis Version 4.01 GW-BASIC enthalten ist, kann ein Musikstück relativ einfach vorab erstellt und dann in einem Texteditor in eine ANSI-Escapesequenz übertragen werden. Bei späteren MS-DOS-Versionen ist dessen Nachfolger QBasic enthalten.

Zum Schreiben der Noten gibt es zwei Methoden:
 mit Setzten einer Tonlänge per Längen-Befehl L oder
 mit Tonlängenangabe nach jeder Note.
Die Lesbarkeit der programmierten Noten ist bei Verwenden des Tonlängen-Befehls geringer.

Am Beispiel der ersten Zeile des Lieds , nach der 1. Methode mit Längen-Befehl:
 L4 EDCDEE E2 DD D2 EG G2

Und nach der 2. Methode mit der Tonlänge nach jeder Note:
 E4 D4 C4 D4 E4 E4 E2 D4 D4 D2 E4 G4 G2

Der vollständige ANSI-Musik-Befehl für diese Liedzeile kann wie folgt aussehen:
 ←[N T90O2E4D4C4D4E4E4E2D4D4D2E4G4G2 ^N

Teil einer ANSI-Escapesequenz
Weil ANSI-Musik sonst die Textausgabe auf dem Monitor unterbricht und eventuell zu Darstellungsproblemen führt, sollten vor der Musik-Ausgabe die aktuelle Zeilen-Position und die Attribute gesichert werden, und danach zurückgesetzt. Das erledigen die ANSI-Escapesequenzen ←[s ←[8m vor dem Musikteil und ←[u ←[a ←[0m danach.

Groß-/Kleinschreibung
Der englische Begriff  beschreibt, wie ein System mit Groß- und Kleinschreibung umgeht. DOS ist traditionell , es ist also nicht relevant, ob ein Großbuchstabe oder ein Kleinbuchstabe geschrieben wird. Dadurch bedeutet ←[M dasselbe wie ←[m und auch die Noten können sowohl groß als auch klein geschrieben werden.

Бахта́ — река в Красноярском крае России, правый приток Енисея. В устье располагается посёлок Бахта (в XIX веке имел название Бахтинский).

Длина — 498 км, площадь бассейна — 35,5 тыс. км². Протекает по Среднесибирскому плоскогорью, впадает в Енисей ниже по течению от места впадения в него реки Подкаменной Тунгуски. Течёт в узкой долине среди тайги, имеет быстрое течение и порожистое русло. В низовьях судоходна.

Питание снеговое и дождевое. Замерзает в середине октября, вскрывается в середине мая. Среднегодовой расход воды — около 490 м³/с, что соответствует объёму стока 15,465 км³/год.

Геологическое строение бассейна

В геологическом плане, бассейн р. Бахта, в основном приурочен к структуре Сибирской платформы — окраине Тунгусской синеклизы. И только небольшая его часть — собственно течение Бахты на протяжении 25 км до её устья находится в периферийной зоне Западно-Сибирской молодой плиты. Таким образом, особенностью рассматриваемой территории является принадлежность к двум крупным морфоструктурам: Сибирской платформе (Тунгусской синеклизе) и Западно-Сибирской плите.

Формирование Тунгусской синеклизы завершилось в триасовом периоде, с образованием трапповых формаций в конце палеозоя. Синеклиза выполнена туфолавовыми образованиями нижнего триаса, мощность которых в данном месте варьируется от 0,5 км до 2 км. В среднем мезозое и раннем кайнозое, охватывающих юрский, меловой и палеогеновый периоды, происходит оживлённое тектоническое движение, которое после затухло. В это время вся платформа была подвержена подъёму, что повлекло за собой компенсирующее погружение смежных областей и вдоль Енисея, по системе региональных разломов наблюдается опускание земной коры — образуется молодая Западно-Сибирская платформа. На территории, по которой протекает Бахта в своём нижнем течении, откладываются лагунные, дельтовые прибрежно-континентальные и аллювиальные отложения. В юре — раннем меле данная территория продолжает опускаться. А в позднем меле — палеогене происходит конечное формирование современного образа Сибири и рассматриваемой поверхности.

Геоморфология бассейна

Согласно геоморфологическому районированию Воскресенского С. С., бассейн реки Бахта располагается в геоморфологической стране «равнины — плоскогорья и низменности Восточной Сибири», провинции Сибирское плоскогорье, области Североэвенкийское плато и делится на три района: Усть-Катангский (нижняя часть течения р. Бахта, начиная с её выхода на Западно-Сибирскую плиту вплоть до устья), Нижнетунгусский (северная центральная часть) и Бахтино-Учаминский (основная часть бассейна).

Область Североэвенкийского плато является невысокой территорией — в пределах трёх рассматриваемых районов относительные высоты здесь не превышают 250 м, а средние абсолютные высоты — 700 м. Вся территория сложена отложениями тунгусской серии и траппами. Многочисленные трапповые плато, гряды различных размеров и некки (столбообразные тела, выполняющие жерла вулканов и состоящие из различных эруптивных материалов) образуют междуречья верхнего яруса (700—800 м). Междуречья же нижнего яруса (до 500 м) сложены пирокластами и осадочными породами. Во многих местах сохранились морены и флювиогляциальные отложения, а древние понижения они покрывают полностью.

Усть-Катангский район — плато с наложенными формами ледниково-аккумулятивного седиментогенеза. Характер поверхности здесь сглажен ледниками и относительные высоты достигают только 120 м в своём максимуме. Район соответствует Западно-Сибирской плите и находится на самом низком гипсометрическом уровне рассматриваемой территории.

Нижнетунгусский район представляет собой расчленённое плато. Сильное расчленение этой территории чётко отображается в показателях относительных высот — до 350 м, которые являются максимальными в бассейне Бахты. В плане абсолютных высот, район также является самым высоким в пределах бассейна р. Бахта: преобладающие абсолютные высоты здесь составляют 750 м. Район соответствует южной части Тунгусского плато, окраине территории, которая была подвержена в среднем мезозое — раннем кайнозое поднятию и входившая в Девонский вулканический пояс и после попавшая под воздействие активных эрозионно-денудационных процессов.

Бахтино-Учаминский район представлен плато с формами препарирования секущими трапповыми телами. Относительные высоты хотя и достигают 250 м, но основным их порядком являются 150 м. Район соответствует зоне контакта Восточной платформы и Западно-Сибирской плиты, попавшей под воздействие пермского вулканизма, покрывшего эту территорию базальтами, диабазами и туфами, что в последующее время привело к формированию здесь трапповых формаций.

Отдельно стоит отметить наличие здесь своеобразных форм рельефа: карг и каменных мостовых. Обычно, говоря о водных наносах, выделяют три их типа: растворенные, влекомые и взвешенные, но, видимо, для этой территории целесообразно выделить четвёртый тип — ледовые. Причиной данного предположения является генезис данных форм рельефа.

Карги представляют собой каменные косы, ориентация которых, соответствует направлению течения реки. Во время схождения ледостава лед начинает двигаться, и как бы сползать с берегов реки в воду. В это же время по пути движения происходит аккумуляция влекомого льдом обломочного материала, что и приводит к формированию вытянутых каменных кос, то есть карг.

Каменные мостовые тоже являются следствием аккумуляции влекомого обломочного материала, накапливающегося на берегах рек во время таяния льда. Этот материал откладывается на поверхности поймы и затем во время следующего холодного сезона утрамбовывается новым слоем льда, делая поверхность поймы, похожей на мостовую.

Over the years, I have been a part of many conversations over being genuine. Whether they happen online or during meetings, some think that they can get away with trying to pull the wool over people's eyes, thinking that they can "get away" with it.
I think that we are all familiar with the infamous tale below, as written by Hans Christian Anderson.
If you are in that school of thought, then all you are really doing is playing the role of the tailors that fooled the King. But please be sure to remember that someone will always "call you out" and set things straight.
My previous post focused on transparency, and I tried to ensure that people think about when and where they need to share any and all information. There are times and places for everything.
Being genuine is also just like trust in the fact that it is earned, and once it is lost, it is hard to gain back. If you are not genuine 100% of the time, then no one will believe what you say and you will discredit yourself time and time again.
Being genuine is something that needs to happen 100% of the time.


It took a natural disaster to erase the market losses created by man-made ones.
Heading into the last week of the month, the Standard & Poor's 500 index was sitting with a 1.1% loss, as tensions with a nuclear-armed North Korea and concerns about the debt ceiling and a government shutdown nearly helped August live up to its reputation as a terrible month for stocks. But not quite.
Instead, the S&P 500 rallied 1.4% to 2476.55 last week, and finished the month of August up 0.1%. Not to be left out, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 173.89 points, or 0.8%, to 21,987.56 last week, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.7% to 6435.33. They finished August up 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively.
It's strange to think we have to give Hurricane Harvey much of the credit for the market's rebound. The storm has wreaked havoc across Texas, destroying cars and homes, and upending people's lives. There's no way to view it as anything but a disaster of epic proportions while praying for those who have felt its impact.
But will September? August didn't turn out nearly as bad as many feared, but its reputation for creating market wreckage pales in comparison to that of the ninth month. Over the last 50 years, the Dow has dropped 0.85% on average in September, according to Bespoke Investment Group data, with a decline occurring nearly two-thirds of the time. And September is chock full of potential land mines. The Federal Reserve, for instance, will conduct its two-day policy meeting beginning on Sept. 19, and there's a good chance it will start shrinking its balance sheet. And even if the market is betting on the debt ceiling getting raised, that still needs to be done by the end of the month.
The market is certainly due for a drop. Remember, the S&P 500 hasn't had a 3% drop—let alone a meaningful pullback—this year. "People are silly if they don't take into account that a normal market doesn't go straight up," says JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, who recommends investors at least rebalance their portfolios following this year's double-digit stock-market gains.
But September doesn't have to be a death sentence. While the month has been historically bad, that doesn't mean a decline is preordained, and in this case past might just be prologue. Since 1983, the S&P 500 has dropped 2.6% on average when it was down for the year as September began, according to Bespoke. But when the benchmark entered September in positive territory, it averaged a positive finish, albeit a small one, for the month. The last time I checked, the S&P 500 had gained 10.6% this year.
Maybe September won't be such a drag after all.

The future has arrived
By Dermot - 13th Apr 2017 | 8 views
An end to private healthcare in State-funded hospitals and removal of tax relief on private health insurance are apparently being strongly considered for inclusion in the Committee's final recommendations. These issues have grabbed the headlines.
The debate about Ireland's unusual, perplexing and highly unfair two-tier health system is an important one. The way in which healthcare is delivered also has a myriad of implications in respect of funding mechanisms.
Reportedly, the Committee is tempering its draft recommendation on ending private healthcare provision in public hospitals by suggesting compensation and better rewards for public hospital consultants. The Committee also looks set to propose reductions in out-of-pocket fees in respect of public hospital attendance charges, and prescription charges paid by medical card-holders, for example.
The fact remains, though, that there are very well-established consensus positions on vital reforms that did not require an Oireachtas Committee's input. The biggest of these is the need for the oft-cited 'decisive shift' to primary care, which is pledged in the Programme for Partnership Government and copious reports and policy documents from across the political and medical spectrum over many years (see Niamh Cahill's feature on page 4-5). This reorientation would undoubtedly help keep people out of hospitals.
The Oireachtas Committee appears set to put a price on the shift to primary care, by means of transitional funding of €500 million per year for the next six years.
Most healthcare professionals and health policy analysts agree that this change in healthcare delivery is the most crucial tenet of making the Irish health system fit-for-purpose. Buy-in, however, is the watchword. Whatever one's opinion on Ireland's health spending — and there are many — some form of significant transitional funding will be required, as well as a new funding paradigm encompassing the acute and primary care health sectors. And there is no doubt that integrated care will require significant changes in work practices.
Questions remain: Will taxpayers be prepared to view trolley crises and waiting lists with the same distaste as water charges? Will consultants be content to lose fees for consultations more frequently managed in the community, and will they routinely deliver care outside hospital settings? Will GPs be prepared to devolve more care to a wider healthcare team, including community pharmacists, practice nurses, advanced nurse practitioners and physician associates? The impression at the recent Primary Care Partnership Conference in Dublin was that many healthcare professionals are prepared to buy-in; to construct teams rather than, as it was put, 'empires'. But only once trust is established.
The report of the Oireachtas Committee will present yet another opportunity to strongly orientate towards integrated care, with a shift of emphasis towards the community. And with the tsunami of chronic diseases and health challenges posed by an ageing population, this requirement is a pressing one.
But the most critical buy-in will be political. It will require major investment on many fronts, including transitional funding and implementation of a national electronic healthcare record, which will be so crucial for integrated care. There are also some startling capacity deficits in the acute hospital sector, it must be remembered. Successful reform will hinge on a huge level of co-operation and support between political parties, but most of all from those tenuously holding the reins of power.
In 2007, in an infamously iconic election poster, Enda Kenny pledged to "end the scandal of patients on trolleys". The can has been kicked down the road far enough. People have suffered long enough.

Nature's Amy Maxmen reports from the front line of the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A crack runs down one window of the armoured vehicle transporting epidemiologist Mamoudou Harouna Djingarey through Beni, a city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). An outbreak of the Ebola virus has killed nearly 1,500 people in the region since August, but it is not the only danger that Djingarey and other Ebola responders must confront.
The window cracked on 5 June, when townspeople in Beni hurled rocks at a convoy of vehicles carrying staff from the World Health Organization (WHO), the DRC Ministry of Health and other authorities. Such clashes neither deter nor bewilder Djingarey, a programme manager at the WHO. "We just need to ask them why they throw stones," he says. The crowd that attacked the convoy was upset that officials and health workers drove through a checkpoint without stopping to wash their hands in chlorinated water, as local residents have been ordered to do.
"We must also respect the rules," Djingarey says. After all, he says, Ebola responders need to win the trust of those they are trying to help.

I've just noticed that you cannot use all the outfits during the game levels, you can only use them all in the mansion.
For example I'm unable to use the swim suite, anybody else got this problem?
I'm having this same problem also..I have the 100% complete for the game but it only gives me the ability to wear it in the mansion, which I had anyways.
You can only wear swimsuits in Croft Manor, every other outfit should can be worn in missions.


How's it going guys. Here are some completed DIYs that you guys might find helpful. The repair info isn't model specific but does give you a general idea of how certain parts work. Let me know if you guys see any errors.
- Troubleshoot hard starting, rough idle, slow acceleration, Misfire, poor gas mileage, etc.
- Troubleshoot ignition system, no-start, engine runs rough, etc.
- Spark Plugs - troubleshooting, carbon deposits, electrodes, etc.
- Starter Troubleshooting - no start, no clicks from solenoid, etc.
- Suspension alignment troubleshoot - tire wear, odd suspension noises, etc.
- Timing Chain and Belts - tension adjustment, gear backlash, runout, etc.
- Undercarriage Quick test - this finds loose suspension parts that need replacement.
- Warped Rotors - this test helps determine if your rotors are warped.
The thought was nice, but posting a bunch of links to general automotive knowledge from another site doesn't really help anyone here. People can find that info on their own if they need it. This section is supposed to be for how-to's specifically for the grand am.
some of this was very helpful for me, thanks.

Q: how to close dropdown on click in html using javascript i have a website where there is a dropdown like below:

                        Rent

Short Gowns

Couple Combo Sherwani

the javascript code is like below:

(function($bs) {
  const CLASS_NAME = 'has-child-dropdown-show';
  $bs.Dropdown.prototype.toggle = function(_orginal) {
    return function() {
      document.querySelectorAll('.' + CLASS_NAME).forEach(function(e) {
        e.classList.remove(CLASS_NAME);
      });
      let dd = this._element.closest('.dropdown').parentNode.closest('.dropdown');
      for (; dd && dd !== document; dd = dd.parentNode.closest('.dropdown')) {
        dd.classList.add(CLASS_NAME);
      }
      return _orginal.call(this);
    }
  }($bs.Dropdown.prototype.toggle);

  document.querySelectorAll('.dropdown').forEach(function(dd) {
    dd.addEventListener('hide.bs.dropdown', function(e) {
      if (this.classList.contains(CLASS_NAME)) {
        this.classList.remove(CLASS_NAME);
        e.preventDefault();
      }
      e.stopPropagation(); // do not need pop in multi level mode
    });
  });

  // for hover
  document.querySelectorAll('.dropdown-hover, .dropdown-hover-all .dropdown').forEach(function(dd) {
    dd.addEventListener('mouseenter', function(e) {
      let toggle = e.target.querySelector(':scope>[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]');
      if (!toggle.classList.contains('show')) {
        $bs.Dropdown.getOrCreateInstance(toggle).toggle();
        dd.classList.add(CLASS_NAME);
        $bs.Dropdown.clearMenus();
      }
    });
    dd.addEventListener('mouseleave', function(e) {
      let toggle = e.target.querySelector(':scope>[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]');
      if (toggle.classList.contains('show')) {
        $bs.Dropdown.getOrCreateInstance(toggle).toggle();
      }
    });
  });
})(bootstrap);

this is working fine fore opening, now i want to close it when the user clicks on it again, can anyone please tell me how to accomplish this, thanks in advance

A: Is this what you need? dd.classList.remove(CLASS_NAME); Like this:
    dd.addEventListener("mouseleave", function (e) {
      let toggle = e.target.querySelector(':scope>[data-bs-toggle="dropdown"]');
      if (toggle.classList.contains("show")) {
        $bs.Dropdown.getOrCreateInstance(toggle).toggle();
        dd.classList.remove(CLASS_NAME);
      }
    });
  });
})(bootstrap);

Doesn't look like you're removing the class name on mouseleave? If you don't remove it it will still be shown. Also, I'm not sure what kind of event this is dd.addEventListener("hide.bs.dropdown" . . . but evidently you have some custom event called "hide.bs.dropdown" that fires from somewhere else.

FIFPRO hosts media event in Vancouver at 2015 WWC, July 3rd

KK is one of the six senior players at the meeting today http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/2512299/fifpro-opening-its-doors-to-female-members FIFPro, the world footballers' union, is to welcome female players as direct members in a bid to fight inequality in the sport. At present individual players, male or female, are not permitted to join FIFPro but the organisation is set to overturn 50 years of tradition. The initiative, announced at a press conference in Vancouver, aims to improve the rights of women in territories where they will not be accepted as members of the their own national union. A FIFPro statement read: "Female players worldwide are now empowered to join FIFPro as direct members, the first time in the 50-year history of the World Footballers' Union that such a service has been made possible for any player, anywhere, male or female. "This historic move breaks from tradition in order to help bridge the gap in countries where the possibility still does not exist for these players to join their local union. "It will also assist national team players, who have no representation and require assistance in collectively bargaining with their national federations and protecting their rights in major international tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup." An advisory board has also been set up involving six senior players who will advise FIFPro on improving working conditions for women in the game. Plans are also in place to initiate a "player-driven World XI award for women.

Hopefully FIFPRO will state they are finally going to get involved in the women's game - http://www.fifpro.org/en/component/content/article/42-content/importation/media/6025-media-alert-fifpro-in-vancouver-july-3 UPDATE (Vancouver, July 2, 2015): FIFPro has the pleasure of announcing Canadian veteran Karina LeBlanc as the latest confirmed participant for tomorrow's important media event in Vancouver outlining a new global outreach initiative for female footballers. Media are cordially invited to join FIFPro on Friday, July 3, at 10:30am (local time), at The Westin Grand Hotel in Vancouver, Canada. LeBlanc completes a formidable FIFPro line-up, joining Spanish star Veronica Boquete,Australia's World Cup goalkeeper Lydia Williams, Nigerian international Sone Aluko, FIFPro Secretary-General Theo van Seggelen, the Head of FIFPro's Women's Football Committee Caroline Jonsson and EA SPORTS.

Seems the USWNT along with the CANWNT have yet to get their contracts finalized with their NSO. US women's national team still without CBA The Equalizer Jeff Kassouf March 4, 2013 http://equalizersoccer.com/2013/03/04/united-states-womens-national-soccer-team-collective-bargaining-agreement-cba-negotiations/ Preseason starts March 11 for National Women's Soccer League teams, but the cornerstones of the league – US women's national team players – are still without a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The US Soccer Federation and the US Women's National Soccer Team Players' Association (USWNSTPA) are yet to come to an agreement after the previous deal, ratified in 2006, expired at the end of 2012. USWNSTPA lawyer John B. Langel says he is "in regular contact with Sunil (Gulati, US Soccer president)" and hopes the two parties can reach an agreement soon. "We'd like to get it done yesterday," Langel said via telephone on Friday evening. "We've got an NWSL season that they want to get started, so we'd like to get it done before then."
There were several questions about how the CSA was going to be papering the canwnt players in the NWSL that the boys at CSN where going to ask months ago. I'm wondering if the CSN has gotten any answers as yet or if they are hitting the usual black rubber wall? Biggest concern besides how the players are going to be funded is what sort of medical, health and injury insurance they are going to have. We know that Sports Canada doesn't cover carded athletes in non-sanctioned NT events. Sadly the Sarah Burke fatal accident reminded us of that http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/02/01/10291483-why-are-fans-paying-medical-bills-for-world-class-skier-sarah-burke?lite I really hope everyone gets professional about what needs to be done to cover players for events outside of their wages package. Much like the NHLPA pro and national players that commited to their sport the majority of their time need to be properly compensated and have a good benefits package.

^ A CBA doesn't have to be about how much a player with an agent is going to earn but it can be about how the contract is structured with other standard agreements or conditions ie; medical care, ticket revenue sharing, tv revenue sharing, merchandise revenue sharing, pension & etc. The NHL is a good example of a pro league with a CBA yet all players and their agents negotiate with their team for their wages. Reading ThePFA site, it looks to me that they fulfill a similar role to the players of the Premier League, the Football League and the Football Association much in the same way the the NHLPA does for NHL players. Further, ThePFA also negotiated a CBA for the women players of the FA Women's Super League which is probably why the National Team ended up with a CBA too.

Thanks Vic for all the work
Commitment comparison would be really interesting especially when our players live in such a huge country that require a ton of travelling and res camps all over the place. I too believe there is a need for a 3rd party "group keep them honest would help ensure a good result." There are many women's NT's out there that have central contracts or better still a CBA. The USWNT have had CBA's for decades and they run for the 4 year Olympic cycle. Those CBA's have no influence on what non NT players make in leagues as the NT CBA is seperate from the league. Hence same should be for our players. I think the NSO's role and how they are bank rolling the NT players in the new NWSL is a good move for now. Although the USWNT have a huge dollar war chest they are still probably the most similar to our players in commitments and development pathways. Sadly the MO for the CSA historically with the CANWNT players has been trust us with your time and compensation or in the last little while a seasonal contract. Looking at how the COC is paying the majority of the CANWNT these days and providing extra prize monies, it might be best to see them handle the extra funding needed to get the players into a liveable program and up to the standard of the other top nations. Going to be interesting to see what the CSA comes up with for the CANWNT players as they can't stop or blackball a player from going overseas to develop and earn more money.
England women footballers secure central contract increase to take them up to £20K or $32K. That compares to our women's $18K in AAP funding from Sports Canada. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21010984 "Players are said to be satisfied with the deal, with their central contracts rising from £16,000 to £20,000 a year.The new package, set to be confirmed in the next few days, also increases the number of hours players can work in secondary jobs to 24 a week." What our players need to do is have www.thepfa.com represent them as the players should have a basic CBA for NT duties plus a section for those in the NWSL as well.
So true for the CANWNT program too "What they're saying is the demands are full-time and the wages are part-time and it's no way to run a program."

^ I would have thought the guys over at CSN would have been asking about the lack of arms length between the CSA board and staff with some of those same individuals running the 2015 FIFA WWC. The questions the media and soccer press should be asking are obvious aren't they?

Aren't most of these people already working for the CSA in some way so how are they going to be able to take on the extra load. Also, is there not a question of arms length? http://www.canadasoccer.com/national-organising-committee-announced-for-fifa-women-s-world-cup-canada-2015-p152796 National Organising Committee announced for FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015 Posted on 6 December 2012 The Canadian Soccer Association is pleased to have announced the National Organising Committee for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015.

Is India Extracting Pakistan's Oil & Gas?
Tuesday, November 26, 2019 by Indian Defence News
Islamabad: "Is Pakistan's oil and gas migrating to the Indian side", a document authored by a Pakistani expert has asked, adding that while Pakistan has been ignoring the hydrocarbon reserves in its area bordering Rajasthan, India has been producing 1,75,000 barrels per day (BPD) from the area.
According to the Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP) document, authored by energy expert Engineer Arshad H Abbasi, the Indian state of Rajasthan has "gained prominence after the discovery of oil" by India and currently produces 1,75,000 bpd.
The basin, especially the Jaisalmer Basin has resources with a potential of 7.8 billion barrels. It says that Cairn India is planning to "invest an additional $5.4 billion" to increase the production. The company plans to drill more than 450 wells over the next three years along the Pakistani border.
HELP says that the oil and gas explorations companies of Pakistan have not been active in the area close to the Indo-Pak border.
"As Pakistan''s companies are not exploring and producing oil and gas in districts Sanghar, Sukkur, Ghotki, Kasur, Bahawalnagar and Rahim Yar Khan, the question arises as to whether Pakistan''s oil and gas migrating to the Indian-side?'' Indeed this should be of primary concern to the prime minister, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Finance & Ministry of Petroleum," the News International reported.
It says one of the fundamental causes of the economic crisis gripping Pakistan are energy imports. "This dependence on energy import has crippled Pakistan. Meeting almost 85 percent of the energy demand through imports weighs heavily on Pakistan''s trade and current account deficit".
The document charts out a roadmap for exploration of hydrocarbons to make the country self-sufficient and set it on a new trajectory of economic growth.
The total oil resource potential is 27 billion barrels while the indigenous production is 86,032 barrels per day.
"The biggest issue in realising this potential has been a lack of commitment at the national level. As of April 2017, an area of around 361,218.72 sq km out of a total sedimentary area of 827,268 sq. km has been under exploration for oil and gas throughout the country. Yet only 27,710 sq km located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been explored. This shows that since independence, only 27 per cent of the area of KPK has been explored for oil and gas.
In Baluchistan alone, the total proven oil reserves are an estimated 313 million barrels and proven gas reserves are estimated at 29.67 trillion cubic feet. According to another international assessment, Baluchistan has 6 billion barrels of oil in onshore/offshore and 19 trillion cubic feet gas reserves.
