where can i buy this oneplus peeler? Is it by invite only?
A proper flashlight to serve as a flashlight? Oh Bolita, you have the best ideas.
You know how much fun we would have shooting the stars? Enough fun that the stars themselves would be like:
- Yo, mind if I join the fun?
- Sure, star, welcome aboard.
- What are you guys joking about?
- Me and Bolita were just talking about taking photos of you up there.
- You were… shooting stars?
- Oh star, I knew you were fun. What a beautiful pun.
- Thank you, Cheetos. Can I get your number?
- Oh my, sassy star.
- Yeah, but can you give me your number?
- Nah, I'm good.
And that's the story of how Cheetos went from shooting stars to shooting down a star.
Story of my life. It's amazing how much imaginary stuff people don't believe I did.
Helooooooo, awesome farmer with enough syrup around that you just throw it in the snow, so great to see you here.
Hope you are doing great these days and thank you for the tag, it's always great to get tagged by the coolest people!
Hah, I saw the photo before reading what you wrote and I thought "that looks like my avatar" - so you are not alone, it does look like me. Well, not like me-me, my face is not that shade of, well, rock.
I'm so humble, I didn't mention I had a statue in London. No, not because this is all news to me, but you know me, what's a statue compared to the immortalized memories I have here.
Thank you once again, wishing you a great week too. Hope the weather is less "is that a penguin on our kitchen" during the next few days!
First apple and now OnePlus, why are these tech companies jumping into kitchenware business?
@luigimario looks like I'm set to start some kart-ing
Even when it's time to copy kitchenware, that's the order.
Is that the pop-up camera ?
in a competition with Tupperware
And if OnePlus also enters that competition, congratulations to Tupperware for having better cameras.
haha this made my day haha
Tupperware's only competition is Apple cause people just buy Apple for no reason at all.
Hahahahaha poor star... Not sharing your number. You're a star heart breaker. After that I'm not sure if I'd bring you with me...
It's so weird you don't like people who love Apple.
Given the iSheep designation, I always thought you would be right there, cuddling with them.
People who have my number are bigger than stars.
I don't have your number...
By the way, I didn't use "Cheeto Orange" for @dsmonteiro's quiz... I couldn't steal your own special nature. But you should
Hey @Cheetosdust! Long time no see buddy!
How are you!?
Damn, punching @Carl in the nuts there
Hah, here on the forums I believe two people have my number. @dsmonteiro is not one of them. Dodged a bullet there.
He asked me for it once. I gave him the fire department's number and told him my name was "Huge Hose". That way, one day, a fireman picked up the phone and on the other side, @dsmonteiro asked:
- Hello, is this Huge Hose?
And this is the story about that time "fueeeeeeego, caliente" was yelled at a fire department without it being related to an actual fire.
(Heheh, I'm pretty sure @dsmonteiro used Cheeto Orange on the McLaren edition as a beautiful love letter to my dust . Good luck )
Hello my good man, how are you doing?
Still working hard these days? Or are you finding the time to drink whiskey and set up some houses?
Nah, not at all. Just having a little bit of fun.
And sometimes those punches can be tricky. Just ask someone who tried to do that with Ken.
Still pretty busy. Working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week mostly. But i do find time for a drink or setting up houses
How have you been?
no worries, i doubt he would feel anything anyways
Hah, just don't try to do both at the same time
Man, seriously, 18 hours x 7 days per week is just insane. Hope you can find some time to just relax soon - you have to take some time to yourself and the family.
I'm doing great, thanks.
Give him some time. Nuts usually drop during the Autumn. So maybe next year.
What? Not a joke, as reported by the BBC.
This craziness will only be till December end, hopefully. Luckily, wifey has understood the situation. Or I'll be divorced already
By the way, if I try to do both together, it is also another easy way to get divorced

Primary School advises caution on pictures
September 26, 2018
A large crowd of first responders enjoyed a free prime rib dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Goldendale American Legion, sponsored by the Sons of American Legion. Commander Jeff Furlong introduced Pastor Patti McKern for the opening prayer. Comments were made by Klickitat County Commissioner Jim Sizemore, followed by Terry Luth. Both gave their thanks to the first responders who were there when they both needed help. Commander Furlong gave a special certificate of appreciation to Sheriff Robert Songer from the American Legion Louis Leidl Post 116 Goldendale. In his response, Sheriff Songer emphasized the working relationship that has been established between the different law enforcemen...

The Powder Flow Analyser
An accurate and reliable method of measuring the flow characteristics of powders
Stable Micro Systems use the test frame and vertical drive system provided by a universal Texture Analyser, and add the rotational drive and software functionality to form the Powder Flow Analyser – an accurate and reliable method of measuring the flow characteristics of powders.
The Powder Flow Analyser can be purchased as a completely new working system, or you can take your existing Texture Analyser and attach the Powder Flow Analyser unit to extend your range of testing solutions from powders to end products.
A patented helically-machined rotor can be programmed to move through a powder column in different ways, depending upon the characteristic that is to be measured. Due to the unique precision profile of the rotor's blade, the sample can be physically displaced in many different ways. The Test Settings of blade path angle and tip speed determine the mode of Controlled Flow achieved within a sample column.
Powder Flow Analyser Controlled Flow* provides:
• User programmable tests that displace the sample by slicing, shearing, compressing, compacting, mixing, and aerating; in any combination, and in any sequence
• Exact repetition of the test sequence best suited to your need, time after time. Independence from variable sample loading by pre-conditioning at the start of the test
• Extremely gentle through to aggressive displacements
• Measurement and analysis of force, time, and distance; parameters that define the sample behaviour during the programmed Controlled Flow*
• Objective, numeric, automated analysis, characterising of the flow behaviour of the sample during Controlled Flow*
Controlled Flow Measurement
The Powder Flow Analyser Controlled Flow Measurement technology offers you the ability to physically displace the powder in a controlled manner that can be optimised to measure the differences between samples, or can be adjusted to be complementary to your process conditions.
The force resulting from the displacement is accurately measured and used to characterise and rank the sample.
From an engineering perspective: The patented blade is a true helix and can be mathematically described, unlike the blades fitted to other powder measuring devices on the market. The helical blade naturally cuts through the column of powder being tested and negates the need for complex torque measuring systems. Repeatably manufactured by CNC machining, it allows Stable Micro Systems to achieve very reproducible, and highly discriminating results from a reliable, simple and lost cost accessory.

Not everyone wants to go on this journey – MCC Mentor Coaching is a whole lot more than PCC with hours. Let's talk. I'll ask you for a recent recording before we commit to working together. That's a chance for you and for me to listen to it against the MCC criteria to see what needs to happen. It's worth starting to collect a recording now (30-60 minutes). Or use the 1-7 list above which is my much simplified version!!
Send me the recording and some reflections and I'll listen to some of it too – at no cost to you – and then we can talk about whether we both think you're ready for the next step. If we decide not to work together, I'll ask for a donation to my charity fundraising. If we go ahead, we will talk about what is a fair exchange for fees. It is important to us that mentor coaching is affordable whatever your sector.

MEMRI has translated an article by Ashraf Abu Al-Houl about the growing recreation industry in Gaza and the low merchandise prices:
Journalist Ashraf Abu Al-Houl wrote in Al-Ahram: "I was last in Gaza in mid-February. Returning three weeks ago, I found it almost unrecognizable... and the greatest surprise was the nature of that change. I would have expected a change for the worse, considering the blockade – but the opposite was the case; it seemed as if it had emerged from the blockade.At the same time, the burgeoning recreation industry reflects the fact that wealth is now limited to a few groups in a way that did not exist previously:
"A sense of absolute prosperity prevails, as manifested by the grand resorts along and near Gaza's coast. Further, the sight of the merchandise and luxuries filling the Gaza shops amazed me. Merchandise is sold more cheaply than in Egypt, although most of it is from the Egyptian market, and there are added shipping costs and costs for smuggling it via the tunnels – so that it could be expected to be more expensive.
"Before I judge by appearances, which can be misleading... [I would like to point out that] I toured the new resorts, most of which are quite grand, as well as the commercial markets, to verify my hypothesis. The resorts and markets have come to symbolize prosperity, and prove that the siege is formal or political, not economic. The reality [in Gaza] proves that the siege was broken even before Israel's crime against the ships of the Freedom Flotilla in late May; everything already was coming into the Gaza Strip from Egypt. If this weren't the case, businessmen would not have been able to build so many resorts in under four months."
"The Gaza resorts paint a picture of prosperity enjoyed by only a few groups, most of which have become rich from the blockade, because they either own tunnels or else work for the many international organizations in Gaza, headed by UNRWA.An interesting point raised in the article is that besides the fact that Hamas shows little regard for the financial situation of the Gazans under its control, Hamas appears to have chosen an unusual location for some of these resorts:
"The Gaza resorts are divided into several [categories], each of which has its own price range. This is not like it used to be, when all the tables on the beach were for the use of all the residents... I noticed that most of the resorts set a certain price for the tables near the sea, and a different price for tables farther away. This is in addition to high fees to enter the resort – no less than NIS 20 – and each activity within the [grounds] has its own fee. In short, a family visit, with a sandwich for each child, can cost up to NIS 500.
"Several months ago, Gaza had only one luxury resort, Zahrat Al-Madain. Today, another one opens up every day, such as Crazy Water, Aqua Park, and Al-Bustan. Most of them are owned by members, or associates, of Hamas. In addition, the Hamas municipalities [also] charge high fees, in Gaza terms, for the use of public beaches."
Human rights activist and political correspondent Mustafa Ibrahim said, 'Building resorts in the north [of the Strip] is contrary to the most fundamental principles of investment, because they are in regions exposed to shelling and destruction, due to the unceasing Israeli threats.We already know that Hamas has in the past fired weapons from near hospitals and schools--is Hamas now pushing its exploitation of human shields up a notch, planning to use resorts for the same purpose?
Whatever Hamas is planning, it is clear that Hamas has benefited itself enormously from illegal trade and illegal drugs. Whatever the source of the funding, it is being used to benefit a few select groups.
For Hamas, the flotillas are just icing on the cake--propaganda that diverts attention from the scam these terrorists are running on their own people and on the West.

Posted in Weird People > Outlaws and Criminals > Guy Fawkes
The Anonymous Movement #MillionMaskMarch
The movement can, to an outsider, appear inchoate - a freewheeling mix of political idealists and self-styled 'hacktivists' who seem to stand outside mainstream political debate. If anything can be said to characterise the movement, it is an all-encompassing belief that individual liberties are being systematically dismantled by collusion between business, media and the state. For some, this seems to be rooted in the classical socialist belief in class interests overriding the needs of the poor. At the opposite end of the spectrum lie those who believe that socialism itself overrides the liberties of the individual by subsuming them to the whims of the state.
Regardless of these disparate aims, there is an overarching belief that the political system and the media that is supposed to hold that system to account have been "captured" by vested interests. In some ways, this veers close to the kind of all-encompassing conspiracy theory that informs Bilderberg theorists, but actually represents something perhaps more profound: a statement that a person is not beholden to any organisation, system or clan other than themselves. As such, the mask's power to defy surveillance takes on real significance for those who believe that the extension of surveillance is itself abhorrent.
The Mask
The use of the stylised Guy Fawkes mask originates in Alan Moore's seminal 1982 graphic novel V for Vendetta. The central character of the novel - known only as 'V' wears the Guy Fawkes mask to protect his identity from the all-pervading surveillance state which acts as the setting for the story. Like Fawkes, his ultimate goal is the destruction of the existing state - and the storyline includes him destroying a number of landmarks including the Houses of Parliament and the Post Office Tower.
The iconic drawing of V's mask was carried on into the 2006 adaptation of the book which carried the iconography to a far wider audience. Taking their cue from ending the film, the Anonymous movement has adopted the wearing of masks in public at organised events to protect their identities. On the internet, the mask has become an instantly recognisable symbol and is often used as an avatar for those wishing, for whatever reason, to protect their true identity.
"The Million Mask March"
The most iconic image from the film is perhaps the moment when a huge crowd gathers in London - everyone of whom is wearing the same stylised mask. In an attempt to recreate this moment in real life, the Million Mask March arose. Although the movement is quick to proclaim that there is no central organising body or 'leader' in any traditional sense, a website and various Facebook groups have been created to publicise the movement and its events - with, of course, the inevitable Twitter hashtag.
Fittingly, the date chosen for the Million Mask March is the 5th of November - previously a parochial celebration in Britain but now a resonant date for the worldwide movement which has adopted Guy Fawkes' image as its own.

We have a new toy…
Yes, DH should have realised that he unleashed a monster when he got me hooked on the Polar Beat. The only problem I had with the Polar Beat was that I would almost always forget to bring it when I worked out away from home which sort of defeats the purpose of having it in the first place. I thought the Apple Watch would solve that problem because you can't forget something you wear on your wrist everyday.
Did it? Well, yes and no.
The problem with the Apple Watch is not knowing what apps to use. What I really wanted was essentially and app to do exactly what the Polar Beat app does but using the Apple Watch as my heartbeat sensor. Unfortunately, I haven't discovered an app that does just that and the Polar Beat app only supports Polar Beat.
A quick search online for "activity tracker" and "Apple Watch" brought up a number of apps. I had a play around with the following:
Since I couldn't have Polar Beat for the Apple Watch, I decided I just needed an app that would let me track the same states I get from Polar Beat – heart rate tracking using the Apple Watch, calorie burn, and a place to key in my distance covered when I'm on the home rower. If I got anything more, I would consider it a bonus.
A lot of apps are made with outdoor runners in mind and they're great for that. Unfortunately, for the kind of activities I do – yoga, hiking, indoor rowing, pilates – they miss the most important part I want to record – workout intensity and heart rate. The four apps I downloaded looked promising, but only one app came out on top.
This app is probably the best looking for the four apps I checked out. It also looked very propitious with this screen shot that promised so much:
Unfortunately, Endomondo is not friendly with the Apple Watch's built-in heart rate monitor. At this point in time, Endomondo requires another heart rate monitor if you want to track your heart rate which defeats the purpose of having the heart rate monitor on the Apple Watch. While Endomondo allows you to add a workout to it, it doesn't allow you to import your workout from the Apple Watch's activity tracker – or any other tracker, for that matter – so you can't by-pass the heart rate monitor problem. What a pity because Endomondo really does look so pretty.
MapMyRun and Argus both had the same issues as Endomondo – you can't track heart rate using the Apple Watch – so I didn't really explore them too much after that. I'm sure they're both really worthwhile apps but for my intended purpose, they failed.
This is currently the only app that I found that could use the heart rate monitor on the Apple Watch:
- MotiFIT allows you to visualize your workout intensity in real-time on your Apple watch as well as on your iPhone and iPad.
- MotiFIT uses your Apple Watch built-in heart rate monitor for an accurate measure of your workout intensity.
- Import your old Apple Watch workouts including heart rate records to review and analyze your past intensity and performance.
- The MotiFIT Apple Watch app automatically syncs your workouts with the app on your phone and to the cloud for easy access on all your mobile devices.
By far the best thing about this app is the ability to import full workouts from your Apple Watch workout tracker. This gives you the option to leave your phone behind and still monitor your workout intensity and performance on the app later when you sync the data.

In recent controversial and somewhat confusing study Mobile Phone Use and Brain Tumors in Children and Adolescents: A Multicenter Case–Control Study a European group looked into the issue of whether young people are more susceptible to health problems through us of mobile phones. In particular the risks of brain tumor risk among children and adolescents was investigated.
CEFALO conducted a scientific controlled study in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland involving children and adolescents aged 7–19 years who were diagnosed with a brain tumor between 2004 and 2008. The group included interviews with 352 patients and 646 control subjects and their parents.
The study concluded that young people who used mobile devices regularly were not more likely to have been diagnosed with brain tumors. Over a 5 year period the risk of brain tumors, according to the authors, users and non-users of mobile phones had similar risk of brain tumors. No increased risk of brain tumors was observed for brain areas receiving the highest amount of exposure.
This study could not correlate brain tumor risk in young people with either the amount of use nor with the area of the brain most proximate to the cell phone. The study was published by Oxford University Press.
Others point to conflicting evidence in the CEFALO Report:
The first study to look at brain tumors among children and teenagers who have used cell phones came out today and it shows no increased risk. Well, actually, the study, known as CEFALO, does indicate a higher risk —the problem is that it found a higher risk for all the kids who used a phone more than once a week for six months, regardless of how much time they spent on the phone. Because the risk does not go up with more use, the CEFALO team argues that the results argue against a true association.
Joel Moskowitz of the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health sees it differently. "CEFALO makes for compelling evidence of an increased risk," he said. Moskowitz points out that the study fell short of the planned number of subjects: Instead of 550 cases of children with brain tumors, there are only 352. "Had they ended up with the desired number of cases, it is highly likely that the results would have been statistically significant," he said. "European Study Reports No Brain Tumor Risk Among Young Cell Phone Users – Once Again, the Results Are Confusing" From "Microwave News" acclaimed by Time Magazine to be "meticulously researched and thoroughly documented"
A question that often is not answered by studies like this is whether or not there is a dose – threshold effect. By that I mean is there build-up that at some point triggers a tumor. This study does not address that potential known effect.
Another issue is how long it takes the tumor to appear. If it takes longer than 5 years then this study would give false confidence to the parents of kids using cell phones.
A final thought is to avoid the problem completely by using an ear piece or headphone.

Amazon Rainforest survival guide
Getty Thinkstock
Despite the fact the Amazon rainforest is progressively dwindling due to deforestation, it is still vast and people find themselves needing to survive in it on a regular basis.
So it is important to know how to survive in this type of seemingly impenetrable, endless jungle if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself stranded there for an extended period of time. While access to food and water are the first concerns, keeping yourself safe from wild animals and knowing what not to consume is also important.
Water Considerations
While it is a rainforest, which by definition means it rains regularly, it is still rather difficult to obtain water which is not contaminated and is safe for you to drink. Drinking bad water can make you very sick and lead to parasites growing in your stomach which can sometimes kill you, among other unpleasant things. Boiling drinking water for at least three minutes or using purifying water tablets will kill any of these bacteria that might affect you are recommended remedies. If none of the implements to do that are available to you, drinking the dew from leaves or the water inside certain nuts and berries is safe, but won't keep you hydrated for long.
Edible Plants
There are many plants or fruits from these plants which can be eaten. However, there are just as many that are incredibly poisonous. So it is important to know the difference. Any nut or fruit picked from a plant that you are not sure of should be boiled in water for at least three minutes to rid any poisons or toxins that could hurt you. A free-standing palm tree is the Chonta or Wasai tree, which you can cut down with a machete (another must in the rainforest). Cut loose the light green coloured part of the trunk or stem about 1 meter below where the leaves start. This you can eat raw without cooking. It has a very pleasant taste, unlike other palm trees. The Sachamani is a green coloured plant whose blossoms have five points like a star and are good to eat, as they are high in protein.
Animal Hunting and Protection
It is also important to set traps for animals, not only to catch them but to protect yourself from them at night. While there are slip knot traps and spear traps which can be built with some effort, a harpoon is probably the best and easiest weapon and hunting implement that you can design even with limited resources. Find a sturdy branch or stick that you can throw and tie your hunting knife or machete to it with rope, shoelaces or long vines. This will allow you to hunt boar and fish in the jungle and defend yourself against larger animals like panther who may try to hunt you.

Today is the day that I look forward to every year. It's the opening day of the 2018 MLB season! For nearly 150 years, baseball has been America's pastime. Long before Andre Beltre and Mike Trout thrilled baseball fans with every swing of the bat, there were players like Hardy Richardson.
From 1875 until he retired in 1892, Hardy Richardson was one of the best players in major league baseball. He played for 14 seasons and for 6 different teams. When he was playing for Detroit, he led the team to victory in the 1887 World Series. He played every single position and his stats would make any player proud. Richardson appeared in 1,331 major league games, compiled a .299 batting average and .435 slugging percentage, and totaled 1,120 runs scored, 1,688 hits, 303 doubles, 126 triples, 70 home runs, 822 RBIs, and 377 bases on balls.
Richardson was also one of the first players known to have appeared on a baseball card. In 1887, if you bought a pack of Old Judge cigarettes, you could also get a baseball card celebrating the career of Hardy Richardson.
It's been over a hundred years since Hardy Richardson last swung a bat or stole a base but both his legacy and the legacy of everyone else who has ever played the game will continue today as the teams hit the field for the first time. Good luck to all the players on Opening Day!

Spicy morsels for a party or larger patties for pita bread with salad; you'll love this recipe and varying the spice mix will introduce different versions.
It's important to note that the chickpeas are not pre-cooked or canned in this recipe. If you use cooked chickpeas, the mix will be too sloppy and won't stay formed when you fry the falafel.
- 1 kg dried chickpeas
- 3 medium onions
- 1 garlic clove peeled

Camp Bowie Boulevard. Forth Worth, Texas. USA, 1972
Side Porch to the museum. Photos: Xavier Jaureguiberri.
This museum is one of the most interesting works of one of the most gifted architects emerge during the twentieth century. Would originate in the order that the patrons would Texan Kay Kimbell Philadelphia architect to house his exquisite art collection.
The building is located within a park designed to generate a large cultural center of the city of Forth Worth in Texas, in South America. The work is set to an inspired creative exercise that combines the functionality, rational construction and an aesthetic vision that includes the remembrance of historical past to define a contemporary fully work.
Her undeniable beauty and unique personality is the result of a wise definition of spaces, in which the texture of the materials, the sound of water and the provision of light play an important role in creating an intense artistic emotion, able to accompany and subtle dialogue with countless pieces of paintings and sculptures which houses.
The set is based on an orthogonal arrangement of a series of exhibition venues in one main floor and a basement. The composition uses a series of 16 Concrete vaults ciclóicas, parallel and freestanding, organized into three groups attached. These basic building elements always rely on four main pillars. The primary structures are completed in a stone enclosure essentially murario classical, the unique travertine. Internally, basic materials and elements combine overlapping other subdivisions that are topped with a material of high quality warm: Oakwood, used to form simple joinery and paneling sumptuous.
The main facade is set around a central courtyard open to the access side porches on the first series of two vaults ciclóicas, These large freestanding pieces allow the generation of subtle cracks through which light is filtered indoor enclosures for cover, both at their ends and sides and top. Some reflectors wisely studied to control the upper openings, sieved and naturally illuminate the interior spaces. While, the layout of courtyards and large glazed openings are establishing a dynamic relationship with the outside next landscaped, insert or colindante. Thereby, the building has a large area of large canvases for the exhibition of works that are illuminated in a smooth manner through the reflection of the overhead light that bathes the concrete vaults.
The construction details are characterized by a great precision, well as ongoing dialogue and mutual between different structural elements and cladding. The thus generated reflects tectonic great control of the entire construction process, which impacts positively on the definition of the final quality of the work and in which the joints are studied with great delicacy.
All spatial continuum has undergone since its strict discipline project based orthogonal compositional accurate measurement of open and closed areas. Even the neighboring woods are part of the environment that are subject to this rigid arrangement intended to express the abstract order of the set. A contemporary form of expressing the classical.
The architect would project the museum building with the structural engineer August Komendant, a partner who regularly work with Kahn in the last stage of his career. Finally, General garden would be available according to the proposal of the sculptor Isamu Noguchi, another great American artist who also collaborate in this choral work.

EuropaBio position on the recent Biotech Patent Directive EC Notice
Patents for products obtained by means of essentially biological processes should be granted when meeting stringent criteria applied across technology sectors.
1. On 8 November, the European Commission issued a Commission Notice on the interpretation of certain articles of Directive 98/44 on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions. The Commission took the view that the legislator's intent when adopting Directive 98/44/EC was to exclude products obtained by means of essentially biological processes from patentability.
2. Directive 98/44/EC defines a stable and predictable patent framework which ensures an efficient and harmonized set of rules to protect biotechnological inventions. EuropaBio welcomes the Commission's recommendation that a revision of the Directive is unnecessary. The changing technological landscape is best addressed through case law.
In addition, EuropaBio also welcomes the Commission's recognition that rather than a revision, there are more reliable ways of ensuring increased access for plant breeders to patented plant-related inventions, such as improved transparency (through the PINTO database), access to genetic resources (through the International Licensing Platform), and strengthened cooperation between the Community Plant Variety Office and the European Patent Office.
3. EuropaBio notes that with regard to the question as to whether plants obtained by essentially biological processes are excluded from patentability, the conclusion of the European Commission, is opposite to the one set forth in the decision by the Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) of the European Patent Office (EPO) in the Tomato II/Broccoli II cases. In addition, there is a significant difference in the definition given by both instances to the term of "essentially biological processes" which appears to be due to different interpretations of the underlying legislation.
4. EuropaBio is of the opinion that patents for products obtained by means of essentially biological processes should be granted when the claimed inventions meet the stringent criteria for patentability applied across the various sectors of technology and that no change in the examination and granting practice of the EPO is needed pursuant to the Commission Notice.
However, the interpretations by both the EBA and European Commission should be brought together with the aim to restore the legal certainty business operators from the plant breeding sector need to continue their European plant R&D activities.
Therefore, EuropaBio calls upon the Member States of the European Union to actively work towards aligning the interpretations of the applicable law.
5. EuropaBio, many of whose members are involved in plant breeding, recognizes the concerns that exist in part of the breeding community with respect to patenting products obtained by breeding. However, we acknowledge that patent protection is the only way for legal protection to be obtained for plant-based innovation that is applicable to multiple plant varieties and crops. In the absence of patent protection for an invention obtained by means of essentially biological processes, plant breeders will be discouraged from research, development and investment to foster innovation and, therefore, there will be fewer innovative features for plant breeders to access and for farmers to use.
The interests of all stakeholders should be properly safeguarded and balanced. EuropaBio believes that this can be obtained through ensuring the high-quality of patents, transparency on which commercial varieties are patented, the ability to breed with material containing patented traits and the willingness to grant licenses remain the cornerstones in the balancing of interests.
Indeed, ensuring high quality of patent examination and granting of patents is of fundamental importance for reconciling the interests of all plant breeders. Therefore, EuropaBio welcomes the strengthening of cooperation between the EPO and the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO).
In addition, the PINTO database established by the European Seed Association enables plant breeders to verify which commercial plant varieties are subject to patents when considering their breeding programs.
Furthermore, a breeder's exemption can already be found in many national patent laws. Likewise, a breeder's exemption is included in the Unified Patent Court Agreement which is currently being implemented in the EU, and which will become effective for all European patents and patents with unitary effect in the near future.
Finally, licensing practices are well established in the plant breeding industry and in vegetables the licensing process was facilitated through the International Licensing Platform Vegetables.
6. The right conferred by a patent covering products obtained by essentially biological processes and plant variety rights can coexist. They both provide a useful tool in the progress and sustainability of the sector of plant breeding.
EuropaBio encourages further discussions in this area and would welcome the opportunity to work with all stakeholders towards securing a balanced and flexible patent protection approach for plant-related inventions.

Head Coach Robert Croft has named a 13-man squad for Glamorgan's tonight's showdown against Gloucestershire at Sophia Gardens in the Vitality Blast.
Despite the loss of Joe Burns through injury and Colin Ingram to illness, the Welsh county upset the odds to run out victors against Surrey at The Oval on Tuesday night.
Kiran Carlson scored his maiden half-century in the Vitality Blast, with Craig Meschede striking 43 and Graham Wagg an unbeaten 46* which helped seal the win.
Usman Khawaja will play his final game for Glamorgan this season tonight after being called back by Cricket Australia for a training camp before Australia A's tour of India.
Ingram meanwhile will miss the match after failing to recover from the allergic reaction which kept him out of Tueaday's game. Glamorgan will also be without Joe Burns who is returning home to Australia to recover from a back injury.
It means that Glamorgan will be without their captain and a second overseas player in their squad to face Gloucestershire, but Wagg believes Glamorgan can cope without key players.
"It's something we have to deal with," said Wagg. "It was unfortunate that Colin and Joe went down for the last game but other boys put their hands up. Craig Meschede played very well at number three and Kiran also did really well.
"It's not ideal for us, but then again it wouldn't be for any county to lose three players of that quality."
Wagg guided Glamorgan through to victory against Surrey after coming in at number six and the all-rounder insists it'll take another big performance from his team to defeat the Vitality Blast South Group leaders Gloucestershire.
"It was a hell of a win [against Surrey] and Gloucestershire won their last game so it's going to be a big game," added Wagg. "We deserve to get one over them after losing at Cheltenham so we're looking forward to a good crowd and having a good win at home.
"In T20 cricket one player can win you a game so it'll take a gutsy effort from the boys. There's a lot of quality in our dressing room from younger players through to the senior guys so we'll have to put in a good performance to beat Gloucestershire because they are a good team."
Glamorgan 13-man squad to face Gloucestershire: Cooke (C), Khawaja, Selman, Donald, Carlson, Meschede, Lawlor, Wagg, Salter, Smith, van der Gugten, Hogan, Culle

In the last email, I hinted about the most incredible sweater kit I've seen in a while. I got some live action shots of Nancy. Trying to get her picture is like trying to wrangle a 2 year old into their pajamas.
I've included a bunch of pictures from different angles so you can see how incredible this sweater looks. It's basically 2 rectangles that are magically sewn together to create a beautiful, extremely flattering sweater on just about anybody. It's made out of the beautiful Alpaca from Frog Tree.
I've placed our first orders in, we've got quite a few participants, but there is room for more. I'll be placing my final order next week to make sure the gals at Frog Tree have enough time to get the kits to us as well as time for you to knit the swatch.
We will have our first round of free classes the first week of August. You'll have most of August to knit the rectangles and then we'll have to classes one maybe Late August, early September and the other in September to sew these beauties together. Did I mention they are free. I thought this would be a great opportunity for all you guys and girls out there to work on your seaming. It doesn't get any easier than this.
Come on in see the color cards, and give us a jingle at 916 714 7719 to reserve your kit.

HF Foundation Holds Forum to Mentor Artisans at Komarock Heights Development
...forum part of HF Foundation's efforts to bridge technical skills gap in Kenya
12th April 2017… HF Foundation has today hosted a mentorship forum for 56 artisans at Komarock Heights development in Nairobi. The artisans are part of the Foundation's ongoing training and internship programme aimed at improving the quality of technical skills in the construction industry. Komarock Heights has hosted skills development training for over 500 artisans since it broke ground in September 2015.
The programme, which was rolled out in partnership with the German Corporation for International Development (GIZ), supports trainees in selected institutions to gain hands-on training in occupations related to the construction sector and facilitates practical internship opportunities.
The success of the program is attributed to the partnership with industry contractors such as CM construction, Wesco Electrical and electronic engineering company, Jinsing Enterprises Co. Ltd, Ultra Power Systems, Vee =Vee Enterprises Ltd, Mantoy Enterprises Ltd and Levitz Construction Ltd.
Of the 56 artisans, 26 were awarded certificates for having completed their 3 month internship training in the trades of masonry, plumbing and electrical installation. The forum marked the beginning of the programme, which is expected to run between 2017 and 2018, targeting an overall of 450 trainees.
Speaking during the event, Caroline Sikasa, the Senior Programs Manager of HF Foundation called for improvement of technical skills and enhancement of a robust curriculum for technical courses. This, she said, would help bridge the widening technical skills gap in Kenya.
"The programme will ensure competency based education and training which is demand driven and also promotes enterprise culture so as to offer a wide range of employment opportunities to the youth," said Ms. Sikasa of HF Foundation.
Present at the event were contractors and representatives from industry bodies such as the Kenya Property Development Authority (KPDA) who advised the artisans on industry best practice and career prospects.
The mentorship programme is aligned to the Vision 2030 flagship project aimed at bridging the technical skills gap in the country. Through the Foundation, HF Group is the first private sector player to spearhead this Vision 2030 flagship project.
The initiative builds on HF Foundation's continued commitment to improve overall skills in the construction sector.

You'll find during this lesson that a rasterized tiled map service takes a lot of planning. Let's look at a few of the considerations needed to get a map ready for publishing as a tiled service. You'll download and examine a predesigned map and publish it as a service in preparation for making some tiles yourself.
To cache or not to cache?
The first question to settle is whether or not to make a tile cache at all. If the map is going to put strain on your server or take a noticeable amount of time to draw (these two often go together), then you need to consider making a tile cache. Most vector basemaps that give geographic context to your web map contain a lot of layers and fall into this category. This is one reason that splitting up your layers into basemap services and business layer services is a good idea; you can potentially cache the basemap while leaving the business layers uncached.
Is it necessary to cache the business layers, since that kind of data changes more frequently? Google used to do it with the Wikipedia layer in Google Maps. With so many features (Wikipedia articles) to show, and with the amount of traffic Google Maps receives, it was burdensome on the servers to draw those points on the fly. (Sadly, the Wikipedia layer is no longer offered.)
In addition to high traffic scenarios, you can also consider caching business layers when the map covers a relatively small extent, the data doesn't change very often, or the data is displayed at small scales only. Layers like weather radar need to be updated frequently, but are rarely viewed at large scales and require relatively few tiles in the cache, thus the update can be performed in a reasonable amount of time.
Choosing scales
There are a lot of decisions you need to make about how to set up your tile cache, but the first choice is the set of scales at which you are going to generate tiles. These scales represent the snapshots at which web users will see your map. They also determine how long it's going to take to create the cache, and which other web services the cache will be able to overlay. Ideally, you'll decide on your set of cache scales before you start designing your map.
Keep these things in mind when choosing a set of scales:
- If you already know that your map is going to overlay, or be interchangeable with, another tiled map service, then you should match the scales of that map service. Many server administrators set out to build caches that will overlay Google Maps, Bing Maps, or ArcGIS Online. In these cases, the choice of scales is easy. You have to match the Google/Bing/Esri scales, which are thankfully the same and are built into ArcGIS Server as an option.
- Larger scales require more tiles to cover the extent of the map. It takes four times as many tiles to cache a map at 1:1000 than at 1:2000. Thus, avoid building tiles at scales zoomed in farther than you need to see. It's worth noting that you can put scales in your "tiling scheme" (the Esri term for a set of scales and other cache properties), but you don't necessarily have to build tiles at all those scales. For example, in this lesson, you'll choose to use the Google/Bing/Esri tiling scheme which includes scales all the way down to approximately 1:1000, but you won't build tiles at the largest scales, because those aren't necessary for your map.
- Most tiled web maps halve the scale's denominator when zooming in (for example, the next scale beyond 1:48000 would be 1:24000, then 1:12000 and so on). The Google/Bing/Esri tiling scheme follows this pattern, and if you decide to enter your own scales, you might choose to follow it as well. Scale sets that increase slower than this rate tend to make the user feel some tedium when zooming in, and can cause you to create a lot more tiles than you really need.
Designing the map
Creating detailed vector basemaps of the type that are typically cached presents a grand cartographic challenge. In contrast to paper cartography, in which the map has to be designed at just one scale, the web basemap has to be designed to look good at every scale in your tiling scheme.
Designing this type of multilevel basemap can require you to include varying symbols at different levels of your map. For example, a road might be represented with a 3-point line width at a large scale, a 1-point width at a medium scale, and may not be visible at all at a small scale. Since ArcMap does not allow scale-dependent symbols, you'll sometimes need to add multiple copies of the same layer into your map, set different scale ranges on them, then assign appropriate symbols for each scale range.
It's also important to choose muted colors for the base map that look good, but do not overwhelm other layers placed on top. Go to Google Maps: Designing the Modern Atlas to see some examples of how the Google Map design has toned itself down over time to be more accommodating to overlays.The Esri Light Gray Canvas basemap is another study of designing a basemap specifically as a backdrop for more important thematic or operational layers.
When web mapping exploded during the past two decades, some cartographers expressed their chagrin at the simple, uniform maps churned out by websites. Some may have thought their very jobs and livelihood were threatened. However, the years have shown that cartography holds a critical place in web mapping. Projects like the OpenStreetMap terrain layer and the Esri World Topographic Map incorporate very advanced cartographic techniques. In a sense, map tiling gave cartographers a ticket to ride in the web world, since these detailed maps would be too slow to serve dynamically.
No wonder some GIS professionals shrink at the thought of trying to design such a map on their own. Some organizations that lack an in-house cartographer have just limped along with the same symbols they used when more primitive map server technology was available. Others have imitated the colors and symbols of the ubiquitous Google Maps in their own basemaps (perhaps in response to a manager's demand, "Make our maps look like that!").
In response to queries about how the ArcGIS Online basemaps were constructed, Esri has released sample ArcMap documents using all the ArcGIS Online base map symbols. People can insert their own data into the map or simply copy the symbol settings into their own maps. Examining one of these maps provides a good lesson in multilayer basemap design.
Examining and publishing a street map
In this part of the lesson, you'll download and examine a map template that Esri has provided for the ArcGIS Online street map. This sample map covers the Little Rock, Arkansas region. You'll then publish the map as a service and get it ready for creating tiles in the next section of the lesson.
- If necessary, start your ArcGIS Server site. You will need to use your instance a few steps down the road.
- On your local machine, open a web browser to the ArcGIS.com map viewer (which you used in Lessons 2 and 3) and then choose the Streets basemap.
This is an approximation of the map you'll be working within this part of the lesson (I say approximation because Esri has updated some of the symbols slightly since they released the template you're going to download). Zoom in and take note of some of the layers that appear and disappear as you do so. Also, note how the symbols for features like rivers and cities change as you zoom in and out.
- On your EC2 instance, extract the street map template files found in our course management system into a location under C:\data. The cleanest way to organize it may be to place the map and data directly under a folder named C:\data\LittleRock. Notice that the files include an MXD and a file geodatabase with a bunch of sample data.
- On your EC2 instance, open StMap_Template_LittleRock_WebM.mxd in ArcMap.
The first thing you should notice is how long it takes this map to draw and label. Take a look at the number of group layers and sublayers in the table of contents, and you'll see why. In addition to the sheer number of layers available, a lot of the layers are symbolized with complex symbols such as multilayer lines that take more time to draw. The performance of this map on the web will not be acceptable unless it is tiled.
The data frame coordinate system is WGS 1984 Web Mercator (essentially the same as WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere), which you used in previous lessons). This is the projection used by ArcGIS Online, Bing Maps, and Google Maps. It was not designed for geographic accuracy nor aesthetic purposes, rather for convenience. You could fit the whole world on a square tile. You'll go ahead and use this projection in this lesson, even though you can certainly make a tile cache in whatever projection you want.
As you examine the table of contents, notice that this map is organized with group layers, each corresponding to a scale range. This particular map is designed for viewing at about 1:1,000,000 scale down to 1:4,500 scale. Any other scale is not going to result in a map being drawn. The layers were painstakingly copied, symbolized, and grouped so that the map would look good at each scale.
To view the map at the ArcGIS Online, Bing, and Google scales, click the scale dropdown in ArcMap and click Customize this list.
Then click Load, and click ArcGIS Online / Bing Maps / Google Maps. Click OK, and you will see the ArcGIS Online, Bing, and Google scales appear in the dropdown. Take some time to jump between them and examine the layers and symbols that will be in your tile cache.
- You'll publish this map as a service in the next part of the lesson. But before closing this map, you'll do one more thing to prepare for creating your cache. This map of the greater Little Rock region would take several hours to cache between 1:1,000,000 and 1:4,500. Since your resources are limited (in the sense that you are just caching with one server and are paying by the hour), you will just create tiles for the area around the city of Little Rock.
To constrain tile creation to just the area around Little Rock, you'll need to have a feature class defining where you want tiles to be created. You could just use the Little Rock city limit boundary, but such a complex shape is not needed and can sometimes slow down the software. It's more desirable just to have a general shape of the area that you want cached.
- Use your ArcGIS Desktop editing skills to create a new polygon feature class called CacheArea in the WGS 1984 Web Mercator coordinate system (be careful not to choose WGS 1984 World Mercator, it's Web Mercator.) You could potentially create this feature class right inside the file geodatabase holding all the other Little Rock data.
If you cannot remember how to create a new polygon feature class, please refer to the ArcGIS Help and, if necessary, the course discussion forums for guidance.
- Use the ArcMap editing tools to start editing your new feature class. Create one rectangular feature surrounding just Little Rock and North Little Rock (on the north side of the river), and save your edits. The screen capture below shows the general area your feature class should cover.
- Save your edits and stop editing.
- Remove the CacheArea feature class from your map. This is important! You don't want to cache this rectangle feature class on top of your map, you'll just use it to define your cache boundary.
- Navigate your map so that it covers the full Little Rock region and then save it.
- Leaving ArcMap open, move on to the next part of the lesson.

So this is where it all began. 5 pairs of pants, 5 names, and the need to bring the local Asian yogis a brand that they could call their own.
So of we set, I'm not going to lie, it was hard, and it took a really, really long time to find a manufacturer that could 1, do what we wanted in the right quantities, 2, that was not going to screw us. Oh wait, no that totally happened.
Some times I think if we had been really lucky and found someone suitable straight away, where would be be now?!? ... but that wasn't the case so, c'est la vie!
So after much designing and deliberation, we came up with our first 5, our OGs, Jodie, Lorraine, Marysia, Bexy ( actually i renamed her from Carina), and Ros.
Each one named after a special woman, so I thought i would tell you a little bit about who they are.
JODIE - Our original pineapple pants, and one of our all time best sellers. Named after my lovely friend, OHSO Ambassador and Queen of Cakes (@jodiedailybakes). As blonde as she is, Jodie has pretty much grown up in Malaysia most of her life, she's a true tropical chick and lover of pineapples, so it only seemed fitting to name the first pair after her. She was always there to tell me whether ideas where shit or not, one of those true friends that will bend over backwards to help you, and is always ready with the wine and a gossip when you need to let loose. Everyone needs a Jodie in their life!!
LORRAINE - Named after my mama, though i very much doubt she would ever wear these! Even back in the day, Raine was always clad in all black with dark glasses, she was effortlessly cool, and totally terrifying to many of my school friends. A fav top i remember her picking us up from school in, had BITCH written across the front. Yup, BITCH, Beautiful, Intelligent, Thoughtful, Charming and Headstrong! hah, she thought this was totally acceptable school pick up attire. so good. Even though she was clad in black, she was sunshine in our lives, the go to person when ever there was anything wrong, and she still is. These pants are inspired by the setting sun, a beautiful sun set filled will all the most wonderful colours, and as much as she loves to dress in black, she likes to live in a world filled with all the colours of the rainbow. I'm like that too!
MARYSIA - Many of you know who I'm talking about. @marysia_do She's bite sized, but larger than life. A wonderful teacher that got half of the Singapore' yogis hands on the ground and feet in the air. If you ever get a chance to take her class or workshop, you totally should. She's bold, beautiful and a total badass.
BEXY - Yes they were originally named CARINA, and to be honest i don't know anyone named Carina, but they were the sister pants to our CATRINA pants, that didn't make the cut till a bit later (its complicated), anyway i decided to name them CATRINA AND CARINA, twin sisters, one bad, one badder! But then i felt i wanted them to really mean something, and i thought of the most badass babe i knew at uni. Bexy, aka Bex, aka Rebecca, the wild mama who made every day and night, and trip to New York that much more fun.
ROS - Ros is a wonderfully talented architect that i used to work with, back in the days before OHSOSOM. She painstakingly hand drew the city tree pretty much to scale, just for us! You can check out Ros' other amazing drawings on instagram @otherworldyhello , so of course we named the pants after her.

How can China fulfil its great expectations?
From an ambitious plan to become the global leader in hi-tech manufacturing by the middle of the century to an expected doubling of middle-class spending power to US$14.5 trillion by 2030, China is without doubt a country of great expectations. However, the nation grapples with tougher trading conditions, slower GDP growth and a reform of its economic model. The question is how will China navigate the coming years so that the country can fulfil its potential?

Guinea-Bissau ruling party rejects new PM, calls for protest
Guinea Bissau's ruling party angrily rejected President Jose Mario Vaz's new choice for prime minister Thursday, deepening a political crisis in the troubled west African nation a week after the government was sacked.
Vaz appointed former minister Baciro Dja, 39, as prime minister a week after he fired Domingos Simoes Pereira over a series of disputes including the naming of a new army chief, sparking fresh crisis in the chronically unstable west African nation.
The move put Vaz at loggerheads with his ruling African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), which is led by Pereira and denounced a "constitutional coup".
After Pereira was dismissed the PAIGC renominated him as their candidate, to no avail.
In a statement the PAIGC called for a "massive gathering" in downtown Bissau later Thursday afternoon "taking into account the current crisis hitting the country with the nomination of a new prime minister."
The PAIGC "will never accept a constitutional coup d'etat. Neither the party nor the people of Guinea-Bissau will accept the nomination of Baciro Dja," said party official Fernando Saldhana.
"We will demonstrate this later during our protest."
A presidential decree said that after all the constitutional formalities, including consultation with political parties in parliament, Dja would replace Pereira.
Dja was defence minister in the government of Carlos Gomes Junior who was overthrown in 2012 in the latest in long line of military coups to plunge Guinea Bissau into chaos.
The country has barely begun to recover from the coup after elections in July last year.
Dja became a minister and government spokesman for Pereira, but resigned after a dispute between the two men came to blows in June.
The altercation led to Dja being suspended from the PAIGC last week.
Vaz said his fallout with Pereira stemmed partly from the appointment of a new armed forces chief, a key post in the small nation known as a hub in drug trafficking between South America and Europe.
In March 2009, political veteran Joao Bernardo "Nino" Vieira, who had led the country on and off since 1980, was assassinated by soldiers in apparent revenge for the killing of the then army chief.
Vaz also raised the closure of the border with Guinea over an Ebola outbreak and cited problems of corruption and nepotism, a lack of transparency in public procurement and alleged obstruction of the judiciary.
The PAIGC party, which fought for independence from Portugal, has a slender majority in the national assembly with 57 of 102 lawmakers.

SPRINGFIELD -- Tickets are now
on sale for an eight-performance run of the Lincoln drama "The
Heavens Are Hung in Black," a two-act play by James Still, to be
presented Nov. 8-11 and 15-18 in the Union Theatre of the Abraham
Lincoln Presidential Museum.
Still's play was commissioned by and premiered at Ford's Theatre in
Washington, D.C., in 2009. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum
production is being presented by JPMorgan Chase.

Lincoln is shown as a real, flesh-and-blood human being," said
director Phil Funkenbusch. "The playwright also adds some theatrical
touches: Lincoln is visited by the ghosts of Dred Scott, a Missouri
slave who unsuccessfully sued the Supreme Court for his freedom;
abolitionist John Brown; and even the fictional character Uncle Tom
from Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.'"

Fond memories of storyteller
With all the heavy issues we face daily, I thought I would lighten things up a bit with a recollection from my favorite storyteller, Mr. Jerry Clower. Most of you probably haven't heard of him unless you're at least 40 or from the South. Mr. Clower passed from us Aug. 24, 1998, but his memory and stories live on.
While I have tried to mimic his strong Southern accent in the way I've typed the following story, there is no way I could ever do it true justice. Nevertheless, I thought y'all might enjoy it. He always spoke of a family that was close to him called the Ledbetters.
"Well I was down Route 4, Liberty, Mississippi. I was just about finished visitin' everybody and Uncle Versey had ask me and said, 'Jerry, I got one more thang I want you to do for me. I wished you'd have a talk with Newgene before ya leave". Now Newgene Ledbetter was the meanest young'un what ever lived, and the biggest liar I had ever known in my entire life.
I remember there was a big collie dog that lived in the community where I lived and ever summer the man what owned it would take a big set of sheep shears and shear that dog. Big ol' yeller longhaired collie dog. And one year the feller shaved the dog all except fer a big ol' ring around its neck and a tuft of hair on the end of its tail. Newgene saw it and come a-runnin' in the house. "Lion in the yard, lion in the yard! It's gonna get us, there's a lion in the yard!"
Uncle Versey looked out the winda and saw it was the dog and said, "Newgene you get upstairs. Now I done beat ya, and I done whupped ya for lyin' and you won't quit. So I want you to go on upstairs and you pray and if you feel like the Lord has sufficiently forgiven you for lyin' then I won't whip ya. But you go up there and pray for 30 minutes about lyin'."
In a little while Newgene come on back down the steps. "Do you have peace in your heart that you have been forgiven for lyin' about that dog?" "Yes, sir." "Did the Lord make it real to ya?" he said "Yes sir, the Lord spoke to me." "And just what did the Lord say to ya boy?" Newgene said, "The Lord told me the first time he saw that dog he thought it was a lion, too!"
I used to listen to Jerry for hours on my mama's 8-track tape player. Now, researching for this column, I found many of his tales online and on YouTube. In all the years I heard him, and with all the stories I heard him tell, I never heard the first bit of foul language, or the first off-color story. He professed to be and lived the life of a true Christian. I have no doubt that Jerry's sitting up there in heaven and causing folks' sides to want to bust.
Moving here from West Virginia, JD Grant lives in the area with his wife, Andrea, and his children Samantha and Wyatt. More comfortable on the back of a horse than on the crowded streets of the city, he brings a different perspective which many around here might be unaccustomed to. His goal he says, is to start a children's ranch and summer camp to help kids learn the values of hard work and responsibility.

Offering you a curated collection of hand made clothing, in collaboration with local crafts people
Bespoke Trousers
the process...
All bespoke trousers are made in Göteborg by hand by William.
Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to meet as tailor and client in order to create a wholly unique garment that fits perfectly. We will discuss styling and make your choice from a selection of cloth from the finest mills and suppliers.
Following this I note down your individual details and measurements to create a personalised pattern. At the end of the first meeting, we will also agree a price and timescale to create your perfect garment.
The selected cloth will be cut and constructed into a hand sewn baste and be prepared for the first fitting.
At the first fitting we will make adjustments for the perfect fit. From this, the garment will be de-constructed and recut for the second fitting.
A second fitting will take place. This involves an almost finished garment. Checks will be made to ensure a perfect fit and alterations will be made, if necessary.
The fitting and construction process may take anywhere from 6-8 weeks depending on the client's needs and the number of fittings required by the individual to suit his or her schedule. With up to 40 hours of hand work in each garment, you will be assured of an article of clothing that is wholly unique, perfectly fitting and durable.
Made to Measure
the process...
Bespoke trousers may not be everybody's favourite cup of tea! So a made-to-measure (MTM) suit can be a very satisfying alternative.
At the start of the process I will record your detailed measurements in order to adress your needs and flatter your silhouette. You have the opportunity to customise details and cloth in order to represent your personal taste and cater to your needs.
The resulting garment is hand assembled and finished at our factory to exacting standards. Although not as intensively crafted as a bespoke garment, our made-to-measure programme offers you a vast scope of choice in terms of fit and style, without compromising quality and fit.
The MTM service offers you the personalisation of style, cloth, detailing and fit without having to compromise.
William Baxter is a full-time bespoke tailor specialising in creating dynamic and beautiful hand-made trousers, waistcoats and shackets that fit perfectly.
William trained at Timothy Everest and passed his apprenticeship in record time. At Timothy Everest he worked with clients such as Benedict Cumberbatch and created exquisite trousers for James Bond: Spectre and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.
In February 2016 William established his business in Göteborg. He quickly gained recognition both locally and nationally for combining traditional hand sewing with classical styling to create durable quality garments.

TDSAT adjourns hearing as Nimbus approaches SC
NEW DELHI: The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) today adjourned its hearing in the case by sports broadcaster Nimbus challenging the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) direction to its channels Neo Sports and Neo Sports Plus to reduce their subscriber price.
The adjournment till the second week of next month came after TDSAT was informed that Nimbus had filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court order fixing Rs 37.25 as bouquet price for the two channels.
Earlier on 22 January, the High Court had dismissed an application by Nimbus and upheld the Trai order of 11 January fixing Rs 37.25 as bouquet price for the two channels. The order of the High Court had also made it clear that Nimbus could recover its cost at the rate of Rs 58.50 if its appeal before the TDSAT was accepted. The Trai order had also asked Nimbus to charge Rs 5 per channel in the areas covered by Conditional Access System (Cas).
Nimbus contended that Trai can fix the rates only under Section 11(2) of the Trai Act after due hearing to the concerned broadcaster, and not arbitrarily under Section 13 (2).
