Galaxy Tab S4 Gets Major Upgrade w/OLED Display
Samsung might have finally made an exciting Android tablet that instead of updating last year's Galaxy Tab S4 with a Snapdragon 845 processor and slimmer bezels and calling it a day; Samsung took a different path with the Galaxy Tab S5e, adding an "e" to its name to emphasize its lower price tag.Just like the Galaxy S10e phone, the Galaxy Tab S5e is Samsung's version of affordable premium, bringing high-end parts and features for just $400, or $250 less than the Tab S4. And on paper, the Tab S5e doesn't give up too much to its higher-priced sibling:
Dimensions:245.0 x 160.0 x 5.5mm
Display:10.5-inch 2560 x 1600 AMOLED
Processor:Snapdragon 670
RAM:4GB/6GB
Storage:64GB/128GB
Battery:7,040mAh
Dimensions:249.3 x 164.3 x 7.1 mm
RAM:4GB
Not only does the Galaxy Tab S5e have the same brilliant 10.5-inch OLED display, it's about 25 percent thinner than the S4. It's even thinner than the iPad Pro. Add that to its 400-gram weight, and its Samsung's lightest and thinnest tablet, and one of the holdable tablets on the market. Also like the iPad, the Galaxy Tab S5e's back is made out of metal rather than glass, which should cut down on the slipperiness as compared to the S4. It also borrows the color palate from the iPad Pro, adding a gold color to the standard black and silver. Despite having the same display as the S4, the Tab S5e has a more modern look, with rounded corners that give it a sleeker, more refined aesthetic. It's also got Dolby Atmos support and four AKG-tuned speakers for "immersive 3D sound and professionally balanced audio," and a 14.5-hour battery for all-day streaming. Samsung also brought Bixby 2.0 in the S5e, the first time Samsung's assistant has made an appearance in a tablet. You won't find a dedicated Bixby button like on the Galaxy S9, but you will get a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. A set of pogo pins are also present for connecting a keyboard, and Samsung has built in DeX support as well, so you can use it like a PC when connected to an external display. But the Galaxy Tab S5e's best feature might be the most surprising of all: the OS. The Tab S5e runs Samsung's new One UI, which is based on Android 9 Pie. Samsung hasn't confirmed whether One UI on the Tab S5e will have night mode or gesture navigation, but even without those features, it should represent a massive upgrade over the Tab S4's Oreo interface. On Galaxy phones, One UI brings a refined aesthetic and smart interface that shifts content and menus to make apps more intuitive, and moving it to tablets is a logical and important step toward building an iOS-like ecosystem. Samsung also highlighted the Tab S5e's ability to sync with your Galaxy phone for call and message continuity. Samsung says the Galaxy Tab S5e will go on sale in the second quarter of 2019 in both Wi-Fi and "carrier-connected" models.

Q: p:message not rendered I'm using an old version of Primefaces (3.5) in my project and I'm struggling with a problem for 2 days now. The problem is the following:
I have a template, in which I insert an UI. In this UI, I have a TabView, in which I include an xhtml.
I need to check if some inputText fields, set as required, were left blank after a tab change, and if they were, a message must appear under those fields. For that, I'm using
 but it's not working and I can't find the reason. I inspected the page, and found out that the
 field is not being rendered... and I've tried everything and googled for solutions, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to solve this? (check the above example with
)
Thanks!

I'm Lion & that's how I handle issues- Shatta Wale tells Stonebwoy
Shatta Wale rebuked Stonebwoy when he said the approach he used in addressing the lack of support from Nigerians is wrong but the salient points he raised in his rant still remain valid and deserve attention.
Stonebwoy has in a previous tweet thrown his weight behind Shatta Wale over his infamous attack on Nigerians over their gross failure to reciprocate the love they get from Ghana and other African countries.
This is a screenshot of Stonebwoy's statement which has reinforced the conversation that has sparked varied responses from Ghana and Nigeria.
On the subject of having valid points but using the wrong approach as espoused by Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale emphasized that he's a lion and that's how he chooses to address issues.
He subtly likened Stonebwoy's demeanour to that of a sheep and since the lion is the exact opposite of a sheep, he chooses to go in hard on issues like this to achieve the desired results. See what he posted on Twitter


Firefighters from Ketchum and Wood River Fire & Rescue responded Tuesday morning to a fire at The Meadows mobile-home park south of Ketchum.
The accidental fire in a single-wide trailer was caused by food left in a toaster oven, said Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle. No one was home at the time of the incident, he said, and no injuries were reported.
The fire, confined to the kitchen and the laundry room, caused moderate damage, but there were no immediate cost estimates. Elle said the owner-occupants did not have insurance but hope to rebuild.
The "Burnout Fund," which gives money to victims of fires, floods and other calamities, will provide the occupants with aid. The fund is supported by private contributions and donations.

The Maryland colony was founded by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, and hence is based on his family's coat of arms.
During the American Civil War (1861 to 1865), Maryland officially stayed in the Union, but many Maryland residents fought on the Confederate side in the Army of North Virginia. The Maryland State regiments fought under a black and gold banner, and the Confederate Marylanders serving under the red and white cross ("Crossland") design.
Following the Civil War, there was a need for reconciliation in the state, and the flag showing both designs became increasing popular. The current design was officially adopted as the state in 1904.
Show your Maryland pride with this state flag design featuring the Calvert and Crossland family crests.
Annin Flagmakers Model 142370 Maryland State Flag 4x6 ft. Nylon SolarGuard Nyl-Glo 100% Made in USA to Official State Design Specifications.

The Maryland State Flag is complex design borrowed from the first Lord Baltimore's, George Calvert, family coat of arms. The upper left and lower right corners of the Flag contain the Calvert family coat of arms, a black and gold design with six vertical bands in the Maryland state colors. The upper right and lower left cantons reveal a red and white design from the Crossland coat of arms in honor of George Calvert's mother who was a Crossland. All Annin Flagmakers flags are sewn in either South Boston, VA or Coshocton, OH. Annin's superior quality is time-tested and meets the requirements of the most discerning buyer.


President Trump with the Prime Minister of Canada and Germany, and other world leaders, at an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
World War I is one of the most significant conflicts in all of human history. Heralded as the "war to end all wars," World War I brought about destruction and devastation to every country involved. As the first technological war, the effects were absolutely devastating for civilians, soldiers, and leaders worldwide. Over 16 million people — civilians and soldiers both — across the globe were killed, and it's estimated that there were around 37 million wounded.
The centennial anniversary of the end of World War I was this past weekend, on November 11. World leaders, soldiers, and civilians all reflected on the lives lost and the lessons learned, and united together in memory of this tragedy. There was a memorial in honor of those who died at the Battle of Belleau Wood, where world leaders gathered and paid their respects via moments of silence and laying wreaths. However, President Trump neglected to go, citing poor weather as a reason that he could not take Marine One, the presidential helicopter, to the ceremony.
The Battle of Belleau Wood was one of the most important battles of the war, as it was the first large-scale battle of the war that U.S. forces participated in. When the Marines arrived, French forces advised them to retreat since the odds were largely against them. Ignoring the orders of French officers, the Marines, led by General John J. Pershing, continued on into the forest. The battle was itself was three weeks long. German forces fought with machine guns, artillery, poisonous gas, and a steady stream of reinforcements. By June 26, the Marines had confirmed that the woods were successfully cleared but their success came at a cost. Although they had secured an extremely strategically important location, the Marines suffered 9,777 wounded and 1,811 fatalities.
As of July, 1937, the woods are dedicated as an American Battle Monument, named the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. There, crosses mark nearly 2,300 graves of soldiers who lost their lives during the horrific battle. Another 1,060 soldiers' names are available, but their bodies remain missing; their names inscribed on the interior wall of the memorial chapel. Rosettes are placed beside the names of soldiers whose bodies have been recovered since the building of the memorial.
There was a commemorative ceremony for the soldiers that died at the battle of Belleau Wood on Saturday, November 10 at the Aisne-Marne memorial, approximately 50 miles from Paris. The day marked the 100th anniversary since the end of the war, and countries worldwide came to honor those who died and what they died for. World leaders gathered and gave speeches, paid their respects, laid wreaths, and joined together in a stand of unity to contrast the setting of a war that had divided them.
Although President Trump went to France and stayed in Paris over the weekend, he chose to send a delegation to the memorial rather than go himself. The White House released a statement saying that it was unsafe for him to take the helicopter as planned due to poor weather conditions, and so he was unable to attend the memorial. He was supposed to lay a wreath and observe a moment of silence at the cemetery with other world leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron of France and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel. Trump sent a delegation including his chief of staff, John Kelly, and several other members of the White House staff to the memorial in his stead.
President Trump is receiving international backlash concerning his actions via social media and other news outlets. Citizens, celebrities, government workers, and more have all responded with criticisms and harsh words. Many posted pictures of former president Obama delivering speeches in the pouring rain, and pointed out that several other world leaders not only attended the Aisne-Marne memorial, but various other memorials and commemorations on Saturday. Ben Rhodes was the senior adviser to Obama, and he posted on Twitter that, "I helped plan all of President Obama's trips for 8 years. There is always a rain option. Always." Similar criticisms claimed embarrassment and outrage toward the president's absence at the commemoration. In response, Trump claimed that the Secret Service had told him that it was too dangerous to fly, and that they again advised him that it was unsafe to even go by car. However, former Secret Service members replied saying that the president has the final call in these situations, and that they are only there to advise him.
To his credit, Trump did honor those lost in World War I the following day, giving a speech at Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial that was within a closer proximity to Paris. He also attended the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, gathered alongside over 60 other world leaders in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe.

Mitford, Eustace Reveley (1811–1869)
by Pat Stretton
Eustace Reveley Mitford (1811-1869), satirist, was christened on 25 May 1811 at St Pancras, London, son of John Mitford, barrister, and his first wife Sara, née Woodward. Eustace was proud of his family, especially his great-uncle John Freeman Mitford, first Baron Redesdale. Later Eustace claimed to have joined the navy and to have served in Spain against the Carlists. He married Eliza Sanders on 7 November 1834 at Ledbury, Hereford; they had eleven children.
Migrating to South Australia in 1839, Mitford bought and farmed eighty acres (32.4 ha) near the Sturt River. He also tried droving and mineral exploration. Usually in debt to family and friends, he was gaoled briefly for insolvency in 1856. In 1861, claiming to be the 'real discoverer', he challenged (Sir) Walter Hughes's right to the rich copper deposits at Moonta. He pressed his claim, without success, through a select committee in 1863 and a petition to Queen Victoria in 1869.
Mitford continued to live at Edwardstown, but found his true vocation in 1867 when he began publishing in Adelaide a weekly journal, Pasquin: Pastoral, Mineral and Agricultural Advocate. It reviewed plays and books and campaigned on behalf of the oppressed—such as prisoners and destitute children—but its chief aim was to 'aggravate our subscribers in every possible way', and Mitford had a sure eye for what would annoy South Australians most. Introducing the grape was 'a great mistake'. Democracy was another: 'democracy and dishonesty, universal suffrage and universal pillage . . . are synonymous terms and inseparable results'. Adelaide's architecture was 'mediaeval Clapham Common Gothic with a tendency to the Old Bailey Tuscan'. The colonists were wrong to sack the 'conscientious' Judge Boothby. Their hero Surveyor-General Goyder, who gave the copper to Hughes, was hopelessly incompetent. Wakefield was 'an ignoramus' and £1 an acre for land was ruining the colony.
Satire resists description. Here is Mitford at his lethal best:
People in England are profoundly astonished to hear that the land has not cost the Government or the country a single farthing—that, in fact well, to put it as mildly as possible—that we stole it!—took possession, you understand, in the Queen's name—just as they used aforetime to burn alive respectable ladies and gentlemen in the name of the Deity—and that when the native rangers attempted to remove the sheep found trespassing on their lands, we shot them like dogs, also in the name of the Queen—and then sent missionaries—very nice men, in white chokers—to inform them of a beautiful new kind of religion, which strictly prohibited theft and murder, or to covet a blackfellow's land or his lubra or his waddy, his boomerang or his beer, or anything that is his, or any other man's. Of course the blacks were deeply impressed with the sanctity and consistent justice of a religion, which was to save their souls, but played the very devil with their bodies, their lands, and their kangaroos. We make as much fuss about permitting settlers to occupy this land as if we had a right to it.
Mitford died of a chest infection on 24 October 1869 at Edwardstown, leaving an intestate estate valued at less than £80, and was buried in the Anglican cemetery at St Mary's. His wife, three daughters and six sons survived him; the journal, Pasquin, ceased after his death.

RETRO KIMMER'S BLOG: LET MICKEY ROONEY REST IN PEACE!
Leave Mickey to be buried in peace!
Mickey Rooney's estranged wife wants him buried in Westlake by her..It is my personal opinion that Mickey should be laid to rest in Forest Lawn where all his friends and co-stars are buried. Mickey should be on the stars tours. He LOVED being a Hollywood star and should be honored as such in perpetuity. It is justa game of power and control to put him in Westlake.
If Michael Augustine has his way, the late Mickey Rooney will forever be surrounded by his peers, from Elizabeth Taylor to Humphrey Bogart.
Amid a longstanding family feud that has even led to disagreement over the star's final resting place, Augustine, whom Rooney appointed as Trustee for his estate in his will, has petitioned the courts for decision-making power over Rooney's burial and memorial.
"Mickey told me numerous times – including when he was revising his will a month ago – 'I want to be buried in Hollywood,' " says Augustine, a Los Angeles-area attorney. " 'If I can't be buried there, then I want to be buried with veterans.' "
Augustine's intention is to block Rooney's wife Jan and her son Christopher Aber from having the actor buried in a plot in Westlake, a small community about 90 minutes north of L.A.
Says Augustine: "Mickey told me, 'I don't want to be buried in Westlake. There's nothing for me in Westlake, that's where Aber is.' "

At a time when public debate seems to be getting ever more hysterical," it said, "it's good to be presented with something you can trust. And we all trust Attenborough."
"Sir David Attenborough might as well be narrating a horror film," wrote the FT.
"A panoply of profs line up to explain that the science on climate change is now unequivocal, never mind the brief clip of Donald Trump prating: 'It's a hoax, it's a hoax, OK'." But it added: "Fortunately for our nerves the last 20 minutes focuses on what needs to be – and can be – done on an international and personal level."
Sir David's concern over the impacts of climate change has become a major focus for the naturalist in recent years and has been a theme of his Our Planet series on Netflix.
The new BBC programme has a strong emphasis on hope with Sir David arguing that if dramatic action is taken over the next decade, then the world can keep temperatures from rising more than 1.5C this century, limiting the scale of the damage..
The programme – which is now available on the BBC iPlayer – was broadcast as Extinction Rebellion protesters continues to cause disruption in parts of central London.

Q: How to support accessibility in CMFCMenuBar and its items I need to enable accessibility for the CMFCMenubar to use it in the coded ui test (not supported by default) as mentioned in this post on MSDN Visual Studio blog that MFC feature pack controls (like CMFCMenuBar) are not fully supported.
I used a tool that test the accessibility support in my software it is in this path C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86 "inspect.exe", when I used UI Automation it works, but when I use the MSAA (the same technology used in the coded ui test) it fails.
I tried the following hopping to make it work:

*

*I created a new project and checked the support Accessibility checkbox in the wizard.

*I called the method GetGlobalData()->EnableAccessibilitySupport(TRUE); in the first entry of the application.

*I called EnableActiveAccessibility(); in the frames, also for the menubar(it is call it by default if the GetGlobalData()->IsAccessibilitySupport() is true)

but it failed , How to enable it I need some help

A: If you look at the derivation of the CMFCmenubar and its associated "buttons", you'll see that the buttons, at the base level, are derived from CObject.  That's why they're not supported by  coded ui.  Coded ui cannot see them.  We are experiencing the same issue with our coded ui tests.  At the present, there's no easy work around if you use the classes from the feature pack.

Inside 'Sesame Street' And Its Mission To Raise Resilient Kids
"Sesame Street" premiered 50 years ago this year, and from the start, its mission has been to make quality early education accessible for every child. The show's idea of education isn't limited to just letters and numbers: It means empathy, kindness, resilience and the other social and emotional skills kids need to thrive.
To celebrate the milestone, "Sesame Street" and the nonprofit behind it, Sesame Workshop, are hosting a yearlong celebration filled with celebrity cameos, social media campaigns and even a nationwide road trip. Over the last five decades, the Peabody Award-winning show has tried to put kids first with its purposeful writing and direction that tackle tough topics in the life of a child.
There was the "Sesame Street" special in 1983 when the show grappled with addressing the sudden death of Will Lee, the actor who portrayed the neighborhood's beloved Mr. Hooper.
The death of Mr. Hooper led "Sesame Street" to help kids learn about grieving.
The Sesame Workshop team met with child psychologists, religious leaders and other experts to create a special so the show's little viewers could say goodbye to Mr. Hooper. In it, the other characters had to teach Big Bird that his friend wasn't coming back, but that he'd still have his memories of him.
"And we can remember him, and remember him, and remember him as much as we want to," Big Bird said in the episode. The special aired on Thanksgiving, when Sesame Workshop knew many parents and caretakers would be home to talk with their kids about the episode.
That same decade, the show changed one of its characters' plots amid a growing cultural awareness of the problem of child sex abuse. Originally, Mr. Snuffleupagus was a character who would enter and exit the scene before anyone but Big Bird could see him. That meant other characters didn't believe Big Bird when he'd tell them about his friend. Not wanting to discourage kids from coming forward for fear of being doubted, the show decided to introduce Mr. Snuffleupagus to everyone else, and Big Bird's friends assured him they would believe him from then on.
The show's first season aired in 1969 with a diverse cast.
And then there was 9/11. After the terrorist attacks in New York City, where "Sesame Street" is filmed, the show aired an episode in which Elmo becomes traumatized by a fire at Hooper's Store and is frightened by the firefighters. He then visits a fire station where he learns more about their jobs as well as fire safety tips. The interaction served as a way to help kids struggling with the real-life events, and as a nod of appreciation to the FDNY for its indispensable help during the attacks.
According to Sherrie Westin, president of global impact and philanthropy at Sesame Workshop, it's this effort to see the world through the eyes of a child that has helped "Sesame Street" become one of the longest-running shows in history.
"One of the most impressive things about Sesame to me is that we've always stayed true to our origins, our basic DNA in terms of addressing the needs of young children," she said. "And I think the reason we stay relevant is because by always focusing on what those needs are, as the needs change, we step up."
Throughout its five decades, the series has not been without its controversies. It's also been the site of the occasional culture-war battle: In recent years, there's been an ongoing debate in the fandom about whether the characters Bert and Ernie are gay, an idea many people reject and plenty of people argue passionately for. (Brown Johnson, executive vice president and creative director at Sesame Workshop, shrugged off the question in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. "People can think whatever they want" about Bert and Ernie, she said. "You want to think they're gay? OK. You want to think they're not gay? They're not gay.")
Still, the show has remained a favorite in many homes, even after a move from PBS to the subscription-based HBO in 2015. For parents who grew up with the series and now get to watch it with their kids, the 50th anniversary season is a reminder of what their families have learned together.
Courtney Leonard told HuffPost that watching "Sesame Street" is "a family event" in her home. She loved the series as a child, and her son now enjoys it, too. She said the show has helped her tackle common parenting struggles like picky eating, sharing and going to bed. She also appreciates the show's dedication to creating a world that reflects the one she's raising her son in.
"The show and its characters are so diverse ― Abby has a stepdad, Rosita speaks Spanish to her abuela, Julia is autistic ― but everyone is friends," she said. "So for my son to see that, I think, has a profound impact on him, and it will continue as he grows up."
Leonard said she thinks the show is setting her son up "to be a person who celebrates diversity later in life."
For its 50-year anniversary, the show has a yearlong celebration planned, with celebrity cameos and a nationwide road trip.
Denise De Robles credits "Sesame Street" with teaching her English as a child. When she started kindergarten, she knew only Spanish, and at the recommendation of a teacher, her parents had her start watching the show. She told HuffPost the series proved to be an education in all kinds of ways.
"I'm sure I would have learned English regardless, but somehow I feel that learning through 'Sesame Street' taught me more than the language," she said. "It taught me about being caring and compassionate. To this day the show continues to help parents help their kids understand the changing world. Like the whole Julia storyline. It helped me understand how I could explain autism to my daughter." De Robles said she's "grateful" her daughter can enjoy "Sesame Street" as much as she did as a kid.
Sesame Workshop now has a presence in more than 150 countries. Its South Africa co-production features a Muppet with HIV, and the nonprofit's first original Afghan Muppet promotes girls' empowerment and education. Sesame Workshop is also working on content for refugee children around the world, thanks to a $100 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation, and another $100 million from the Lego Foundation.
Across the globe, the value of "Sesame Street" and its sister productions doesn't only lie in its colorful characters and entertaining songs. As Westin said of Sesame Workshop's mission for its young viewers: "'Smarter, Stronger, Kinder.' It's not just a clever tagline. It's literally true."


LONDON — On the 28th of July, 2002, Tony Blair sent a "Note on Iraq" to President George W. Bush. It began: "I will be with you, whatever." And with those six words, the British Prime Minister sealed his fate, committed his country to a disastrous war, and ultimately wrote the phrase that will endure on his political headstone.
On Wednesday that epitaph was confirmed by the publication of the official report into Britain's involvement in Iraq. Chaired by Sir John Chilcot, a veteran civil servant, the report is utterly damning, all the more so for being written with the dry understatement in which Whitehall specializes.
No part of the case for toppling Saddam survives Chilcot intact.
The report's 145-page executive summary shreds Tony Blair's reputation to such an extent that reassembling it now seems an impossible—even pointless—task.
In some respects, little of this is now a surprise. The case for toppling Iraq has been so thoroughly discredited in recent years that few people now care to remember that opinion polls in early 2003 found that most British voters supported the invasion. Nonetheless, the official imprimatur of the Chilcot report gives its findings substantially greater weight than previous assessments of Britain's involvement in the war.
As far as Blair was concerned, September 11, 2001, changed everything. Risks previously thought containable were no longer so easily tolerated.
At that moment, at least as far as the U.K. was concerned, Iraq was not an immediate priority but the seeds of the decision to go to war against Saddam Hussein were sown that day nonetheless.
Yes, Blair acknowledged, "the planning on this and the strategy are the toughest yet. This is not Kosovo. This is not Afghanistan. It is not even the Gulf War." But it had to be done and Blair was with the American president, "whatever." This die was cast.
Yet that observation also lays bare another unavoidable truth: British opposition to the American adventure in Mesopotamia would not, in the end, have done much to prevent it from going ahead.
In the absence of that second resolution, the U.K. government's chief lawyer revised his previous suggestion that a second resolution would be required to give the government watertight legal authority for war.
This, to put it mildly, did not prove the case.
Undaunted, Blair insisted on Wednesday that the report, while cataloguing the mistakes made, exonerated him from charges he lied to parliament and to the British people. But this official verdict on his record on the biggest issue of all, the one that would define his time in office, is as withering as it is damning, as grim as it is exhaustive.
The cost of Blair's folly, as measured in blood and treasure, was astonishing. This was a war of choice in which almost all the choices taken were made on the back of shoddy intelligence, wishful thinking, and a determined attempt to avoid looking reality in the face.
It leaves Blair's reputation in ruins and, more gravely, will be remembered—even by those who initially supported the war—as a grievous stain on Britain's post-WWII record.


Conservative backbencher Stephen McPartland has said that a majority of Tory member of parliament (MPs) oppose George Osborne's "extreme" tax credit cuts, the Observer has reported. The Stevenage MP canvassed a wide array of his fellow backbenchers opinions and found that only a significant U-turn by the chancellor on implementing tax credits would now be acceptable his party's colleagues.
The chancellor has already had to water down some of the planned tax credit cuts which would have affected the lowest paid workers after the House of Lords voted to delay the cuts. Osborne is due to announce a plan on 25 November to mitigate some of the cuts for families on very low incomes. However, McPartland has told the Observer newspaper that the rebel MPs would only accept a U-turn by Osborne on the tax credits cuts.
McPartland writes: "It is clear that a majority of Tory MPs now agree with me that the chancellor must drop these proposals as they stand. The simple fact is that for those families on very low incomes, these changes will hurt them, not help them. The chancellor now has to come forward with measures not only to mitigate the effects of the changes to tax credits but to guarantee to protect families' child tax credits.
He added: "I am speaking out and standing up for families on low incomes, because these families are trying to work and should be rewarded by a welfare system that is fair and helps them move forward in life. These are the forgotten voters that Labour has left behind and we have not managed to reach yet."
McPartland also said that he had published evidence on his website that proved that the chancellor's proposals would reduce child tax credits, which Prime Minister David Cameron pledged not to cut during a party leaders' TV debate before the general election.
The MP calculated that if Osborne implemented the tax credit cuts as they stand, someone currently earning tax credits of £6,420 would end up earning £3,850, which is would be a cut of £1,200 cut.
"That is far too much of a blunt instrument for me – it is too extreme. I cannot support that," McPartland said. "I have also published proof that child tax credits will be cut for many families, which are backed up by House of Commons library figures. This is completely unacceptable and destroys the government's final defence that planned cuts do not apply to child tax credits. All of this explains why I boycotted a visit to my town by a treasury minister last week."

Biden is copying Clinton in embracing the pro-Israel lobby

The future that the US has planned for Palestine is already determined, no matter whether President Donald Trump is re-elected or Joe Biden replaces him in the White House after next month's election. Nevertheless, it is Biden, with a sizable lead over Trump in the national polls, who Palestinian leaders are championing in the hope that he will tone down Washington's pro-Israel policies. The Palestinians are overly-optimistic.
This is a familiar scenario for America's Democrats. Four years ago they saw their presidential candidate Hillary Clinton embracing the pro-Israel lobby in the election campaign. Clinton, in fact, has never hidden her support for the occupation state, and Biden is unlikely to reverse his own decades of staunch backing for Israel.
In 2010, as US Secretary of State, Clinton spoke at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference despite being well briefed about the indignities and abuses heaped on the Palestinians by Israel year after year. As part of its mission statement, AIPAC "urges all members of Congress to support Israel through foreign aid, government partnerships, joint anti-terrorism efforts and the promotion of a negotiated two-state solution — a Jewish state of Israel and a demilitarised Palestinian state".
Sidney Blumenthal, whose emails filled Clinton's private inbox, sent her articles about politics in the Middle East, many penned by his son Max, who has not only accused Israel of committing war crimes, but also described it as an apartheid state, with valid reasons for doing so. Referring to Israel's deadly 2010 attack on the Mavi Marmara-led Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Blumenthal wrote of his son's work, "Max Blumenthal, who is now reporting from Israel, writing a book on the crisis of democracy there, details from the Israeli press how the raid was long planned and who approved it, how the Netanyahu government is stirring up support, and the internal consequences."
READ: Trump or Biden doesn't really matter; Palestine and its people will be betrayed
The day before she was scheduled to deliver her speech at AIPAC, Blumenthal sent Clinton a blog post penned by Uri Avnery titled "The Doomsday Weapon", in which the author accused the "ultra-right government in Jerusalem" of treating President Barack Obama — her boss at the time — with "thinly veiled contempt". Clinton instructed a staffer to print out five copies of the article, "without the heading from Sid". She still went ahead to deliver her speech to AIPAC, though, hailing the lobby group as well as its favourite state.
"Our commitment to Israel's security and Israel's future is rock solid, unwavering, enduring and forever," insisted Clinton, earning herself one of several standing ovations from the audience of 7,500 pro-Israel activists. Blumenthal's advice that she should hold "hold [Netanyahu's] feet to the fire" over the planned expansion of a settlement in East Jerusalem was ignored. This, she said, was not about "wounded pride… [It's] about getting to the table, creating and protecting an atmosphere of trust around it and staying there until the job is done."
AIPAC is a platform that Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, refused to address earlier this year because the organisation provides the opportunity for speakers to "express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights." AIPAC, said Sanders, does a disservice to the Palestinians, the Israelis and the American people.
Clinton returned to the AIPAC stage in 2016 as the frontrunner in the race for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, and duly condemned the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) civil society movement. In her address to the group she described BDS as "alarming" and characterised activists as anti-Semites who "bully" Jewish students on college campuses.
"I've been sounding the alarm for a while now," Clinton continued. "As I wrote last year in a letter to the heads of major American Jewish organisations, we have to be united in fighting back against BDS. That's why I feel so strongly that America can't ever be neutral when it comes to Israel's security or survival. We can't be neutral when rockets rain down on residential neighbourhoods, when civilians are stabbed in the street, when suicide bombers target the innocent. Some things aren't negotiable – and anyone who doesn't understand that has no business being our president."
In the past couple of years, AIPAC has promoted anti-BDS legislation aggressively, including state laws to block funding for universities that adopt resolutions to divest from companies which benefit from Israel's occupation of Palestinian land. All of this ignores the fact that BDS is an entirely peaceful campaign strategy which does not advocate violence in any way.
Although support for Israel has been strong across both of America's main political parties for decades, AIPAC is increasingly becoming a platform for the Republicans. Nevertheless, just as Clinton did before him, former Vice President Biden still chose to address the main pro-Israel lobby group in America at its annual conference in March to say that he will not attach conditions on aid to Israel. Instead, he turned his guns on the victims of Israel's violations of international laws and conventions.
The Leahy Laws: why Biden's promise to Israel is illegal
"Palestinians need to eradicate incitement on the West Bank — eradicate it. They need to end the rocket attacks from Gaza — stop it," said Biden. "They need to accept once and for all the reality and the right of a secure democratic and Jewish state of Israel in the Middle East."
Now, of course, Biden has picked former rival Kamala Harris as his running mate. Harris has been described as a "staunch supporter" of Israel, and delivered a speech at AIPAC in 2017, not long after being sworn into the Senate. When asked by the New York Times last year whether she thinks Israel meets international human rights standards, she replied, "Overall, yes."
With warnings and images of Israel's abuses in mind and aware of AIPAC's ability to move US policy in dangerous directions, Democrats remain cheerleaders for the occupation state. Votes and campaign support mean more to US presidential candidates than human rights. That is why the future of Palestine and its people is threatened no matter who wins on 3 November. Even with a President Biden in the White House, the Palestinians will be abandoned and the theft of their land for Israeli colonial settlements will continue apace. In this sense, Biden will simply be Trump Mk II, because he too has embraced the pro-Israel lobby.

It's an ironic indicator of just how much things are changing in Walton County. Last year workmen collecting fill dirt for a new truck stop adjacent to Monroe's bustling industrial park unearthed a series of unmarked graves.
The perfectly rectangular shaped patterns of oddly colored earth were all that remained of a family that lived in the area probably more than a century ago. The discovery brought construction to a halt while local officials figured out what to do.
"We decided we were going to do things the right way," explains Nancy Kinsey, director of the Walton County Development Authority.
The right way meant calling in an archaeologist from the University of Georgia and trying to discover the identity of this long ago pioneer family – three adults and six children. When no one claimed the family, local officials reburied them in the city cemetery, giving them a final dignified resting place – away from the paving and rumbling heavy trucks rolling in and out of the park.
While land around here may have lain undisturbed for centuries, that's no longer the case. Change is afoot in Walton County.
The residential growth that has surged outward from Metro Atlanta is now reaching this area. Locals seem a little startled by just how much traffic now clogs their roads – particularly the main Ga. Highway 78 corridor that runs from Monroe in the east to Loganville in the west.
Growth is accelerating in the northern reaches of Walton from Loganville because of its proximity to Ga. 316 and its quick access to Gwinnett County and rest of the metro area.
Little says the county recently completed a master plan to meet its transportation needs, including road expansions, lane additions and intersection improvements.
The locations of rooftops have been largely dictated by the realities of density. Walton County doesn't provide sewer services to its county residents. So everyone outside the city is on septic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
An expanding population is reality, however, and local leaders are looking to the future. The county buys water from the city of Monroe and holds a 25 percent stake in Newton County's Varner Reservoir. While the county is able to meet its citizens' current water needs, impending growth could make that difficult in coming years.
That's why construction will soon begin on a new 1,500 acre reservoir near Social Circle in the southern end of the county. Once operational, the facility will produce more than 41 million gallons a day to meet the needs of what is expected to be a much larger local population.
"It's not needed now, but it's a 2050 and beyond water supply for Walton County and Oconee County," Little says.
An early outpost of the coming flood is the western part of Walton, where Loganville sits astride the county line with a third of the city in Gwinnett.
McCullers says the city's population is relatively small – just 8,400. Within the larger zip code, you can find a total of 20,000.
Due to those numbers, Loganville has added a number of new restaurants along with a new Wal-Mart and Home Depot. In competition, a big, new Ace hardware store has also set up shop here.
A quick check of car tags in the parking lot of the sprawling Wal-Mart distribution center in Monroe reveals that the nearly 1,000 workers here hail from all over north Georgia. Last year the facility added another 500,000 square feet in a dry goods center to complement its 500,000 square foot cold storage facility.
Nearby, other large companies such as Tucker Door and Angel Food Ministries also occupy sites and provide destinations for a seemingly endless stream of trucks pulling in from four-lane Ga. 78.
The county is seeking to expand its industrial base by adding different kinds of companies than the typical distribution center.
All this activity has rejuvenated Monroe, bringing new retail such as Home Depot and a Wal-Mart SuperCenter, as well as the city's first major chain restaurant – Applebee's. While securing a family restaurant like this might not seem all that significant, it represented a major victory for the city in terms of attracting more retail.
Most chains bypassed the town because demographic estimates didn't seem to support an expansion here. However, the restaurant broke regional records during its first months of operation.
The activity also has sparked an increase in the number of small enterprises dotting the business landscape. New shops and restaurants are opening up in downtown Monroe and elsewhere in the county.
Walton County Chamber of Commerce President Teri Wommack says the county is preparing to launch new strategies to help local small businesses get off on surer footing. In fact, the county recently won an entrepreneur-friendly designation from the Georgia Department of Economic Development. That honor will allow Walton to seek grants to set up programs aimed at teaching business skills to would be entrepreneurs, she adds.
Local leaders see the Monroe-Walton County Airport's recent expansion as a prime asset for economic development. In fact, the project received the 2006 General Aviation Project of the Year award from the American Association of Airport Executives.
With the help of $4.5 million in federal, state and local funds, Monroe extended the airport's runway from 2,700 to 5,000 feet and constructed a parallel taxi way – enough to attract corporate jet traffic that had been landing in nearby Winder.
"We knew we were going to grow, but one of the pieces of the puzzle was our airport and to expand that runway just allows us to attract more corporate travel," explains Monroe Mayor Greg Thompson.
The city is working with the state transportation department to build a new terminal at the airport and eventually lengthen the landing strip another 1,000 feet. Doing so will allow even bigger corporate jets to land there, Thompson adds.
Later this year a new hospital will replace the aging Walton Regional Medical Center. The $105 million facility is slated for construction on Highway 10, just across from The Home Depot, in an area that has become a hotbed for development recently, with retail and office springing up along the highway corridor.
A new Walton Regional will no doubt amplify the hospital's already considerable impact on the local economy – $63 million according to 2004 figures.
Of course, not every section of Walton has been overwhelmed by new growth and, as far as Walton Grove Mayor Don Cannon is concerned, that's good. Not that he's opposed to seeing new residents and business in the small crossroads southeast of Loganville. But the lack of activity – so far – has afforded the city a chance to carefully plan the kind of growth it wants.
Last year, Walton Grove asked the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design to step in and help with a formalized planning process. The school staged a series of planning sessions for officials and local residents that led to a document laying out a pattern and footprint for future development.
Locals decided they needed to install a sewer system to attract new business and residents – houses are currently on septic – and they wanted downtown storefronts to have a 19th century feel. That look will be reflected in two new projects slated to get under way in the city: A Waffle House will be serving up eggs and bacon to locals, while nearby an 11 acre mixed use development will feature offices fronting a development of single family homes.
Perhaps no area of Walton faces more impending growth than tiny Social Circle in the south. Situated just off Interstate 20, the small town, with its carefully preserved historic downtown, is struggling with change. Locals already see it in the form of a 1.3 million-square-foot SOLO Cup Co. distribution plant that attracts a steady stream of big trucks to its gates.
To deal with the trucks, the city built the first leg of a bypass highway where Ga. 11 comes into town and runs east to connect with the industrial park.
Work is scheduled to begin on the last 2.8 miles of the semi-circle. The $12.7 million project will also allow the city to channel industrial and commercial development along the road and away from the less developed southern end of town.
Just on the other side of I-20 in Newton County, Georgia Perimeter College has built a new campus expected to accommodate 5,000 students. Mixed use developments in the area – known as Mount Pleasant – are expected to follow, and that's likely to spark even more interest in this small town.
In 10 years population figures will reach 15,000, before surging to more than 50,000 by 2037. That's sobering news for officials charged with providing basic services such as education, because Social Circle is one of just a handful of city school systems.
The board is already planning to build a new elementary school to complement a recently completed high school and middle school. The system has grown by more than 400 in just four years to reach 1,800 students.
To keep up with that population and perhaps help balance the tax base, Social Circle recently annexed a section of land to the south extending from Highway 11 to the Highway 278 exit on I-20, deep in Newton County. Property owners wanted to build mixed use developments, but weren't able to do so because of county zoning regulations. They found a more receptive ear in Social Circle.
Newton commissioners weren't so pleased with this intrusion into their county and took the city to court. Burgess expects a favorable settlement that will leave the expansion intact.
Whatever the outcome, it's clear that Social Circle, like the rest of Walton County is changing – and quickly.

STU48 will be delaying the release of their debut single to next year.
The original plan was to release the single on November 1st. However, the single has been pushed back to January 31st, 2018.
The reason for the delay is for the group to receive their own theater. The announcement also apologized for the news and eventual inconveniences.
"Although we have a relationship with a shipbuilding company and have had meetings with them, at this point, we are not at the stage where we can announce the group's onboard theater, so the timing is not right for them to make their major debut," officials said.
STU48 was formed in March 2017 as a sister group to AKB48. The group is set on a cruise boat which will be sailing the Seto Inland Sea.

In this seminar, you will learn how to navigate FDA's numerous legal options and how to interpret them based on basic legal principles. Applying new guidance documents becomes a new test of the FDA's legal boundaries and enforcement options. The agency is now conducting clinical studies and applies the principles of cognitive psychology to aid in its determination of what a message really conveys.
This academic discipline may or may not get to the root of what consumers take away as the message.
This conference will provide insight on how to manage your marketing activity and gauge what regulatory risks your business is willing to accept. You will learn how corporate management requires cooperation between marketing, regulatory affairs, legal counsel, manufacturing, engineering and finance departments. Operating in a stovepipe environment will not work.
You need to understand that a weak link in any department leaves the entire corporation vulnerable to FDA enforcement. Most importantly, you will understand the boundaries that FDA uses and how easy it is to cross them. With information from this course, you can step back and rationally evaluate your firm's regulatory profile for advertising and promotion practices.


Seahawk Australia and Austral Propellers have joined forces to bring you the "SLIPSTREAM" range of geared folding sailboat propellers.
For racing and social yachts, streamlining and smoothness of design is of major importance. Unwanted drag under sail can result from the use of two or three bladed fixed propeller installations. Slipstream Folding Sailboat propellers achieves the best of both worlds, providing both smooth flow when sailing and efficient forward and reverse propulsion under power.
Centrifugal force provides easy synchronized opening of the propeller blades when under engine power. Alternatively, under sail, the water flow closes the blades, significantly reducing drag. The gearing avoids the vibration and operational problems commonly associated with one blade moving independently of the other.

The game's concept and design was led by Brendan Greene, better known by his online handle PlayerUnknown, who had previously created the ARMA 2 modDayZ: Battle Royale, an offshoot of popular mod DayZ, and inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale.[10][11] At the time he created DayZ: Battle Royale, around 2013, Irish-born Greene had been living in Brazil for a few years as a photographer, graphic designer, and web designer, and played video games such as Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and America's Army.
The DayZ mod caught his interest, both as a realistic military simulation and its open-ended gameplay, and started playing around with a custom server, learning programming as he went along. Greene found most multiplayer first-person shooters too repetitive, considering maps small and easy to memorize. He wanted to create something with more random aspects so that players would not know what to expect, creating a high degree of replayability; this was done by creating vastly larger maps that could not be easily memorized, and using random item placement across it. Greene was also inspired by an online competition for DayZ called Survivor GameZ, which featured a number of Twitch and YouTube streamers fighting until only a few were left; as he was not a streamer himself, Greene wanted to create a similar game mode that anyone could play.
His initial efforts on this mod were more inspired by The Hunger Games novels, where players would try to vie for stockpiles of weapons at a central location, but moved away from this partially to give players a better chance at survival by spreading weapons around, and also to avoid copyright issues with the novels. In taking inspiration from the Battle Royalefilm, Greene had wanted to use square safe areas, but his inexperience in coding led him to use circular safe areas instead, which persisted to Battlegrounds.

Q: How does apply work with functions that take in comma separated arguments? Okay, so I understand if you do:
Array.prototype.push.apply([1, 2], [3, 4])

It would basically concatenate the first array in apply:
[1, 2, 3, 4]

The supposed logic behind this is that [1, 2] is set as the this object on which push will be called with [3, 4].
If we say apply is:
fun.apply(thisArg, [argsArray])

Then fun is push, thisArg is [1, 2] and [argsArray] is [3, 4]
So to me, this is almost equivalent to:
[1, 2].push([3, 4])

But, push takes in comma separated values rather than an array or array-like object. How does apply make this work?
According to this: http://rusticode.com/2012/08/15/javascript-call-and-apply/, any other function that takes in comma separated values can instead be called with apply to do something similar to my above example, such as:
var max = Math.max.apply(null, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]); //max = 7

Unfortunately, there is no explanation.
How exactly does apply work with functions that take in comma separated arguments?

A: Function.prototype.apply calls the specified function by passing each of the elements of its second argument (which must be an array or array-like) as individual arguments to the function.
So what you are doing in your first example is equivalent to
[1, 2].push(3, 4);

It is not equivalent to calling [1, 2].push([3, 4]); If it were, the result would be an array with another array nested inside it:
[1, 2, [3, 4]]

There is a method that does what you seem to think apply is doing. It's called call:
Array.prototype.push.call([1, 2], [3, 4]);

A: Function.prototype.apply(thisArg, [ argsArray]) takes thisArg as the first required argument and an optional second argument as array.
What it does that it returns the result of the calling function with the specified thisArg and the optional argsArray array.
But wait, the second argument is an array-like object but it's specifying the arguments of the calling function.
So for your example Array.prototype.push.apply([1, 2], [3, 4]), the calling function is push which takes a variable number of arguments and push into this array and this refer to the array [1, 2]. So the example works like
[1, 2].push(3, 4) // output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

But,
[1, 2].push([3, 4]) // output: [1, 2, [3, 4]]

For your second example, Math.max.apply(null, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]); the thisArg is null because you are calling a prototype function of Math. Which doesn't allow an external this to perform any task. So the example works like:
Math.max(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) // output: 7

I hope it helps you.

Pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions as well as global semiconductor shortages have brought home to the EU the need for like-minded, reliable partners.
Statesman News Service | July 20, 2022 9:37 am

What all the urgings of well-meaning anti-totalitarian activists and human rights advocates could not achieve, the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine may have ~ a change in the position of the European Union (EU) on future relations with China and the distinct potential of a policy-tilt towards Taiwan. Director of the Brookings Asia Programme Janka Oertel underlines the significance of recent EU-China interactions which have been marked by an absence of substantive dialogue and have essentially been an exercise in doubling down on their respective positions. The EU has acknowledged that China's "stated ambitions and coercive policies pose a challenge to trans-Atlantic interests and security". This public statement, experts say, marks the lowest point in the slow deterioration of relations between Europe and China over the past few years.
China's economic policies such as its market-distorting practices, industrial policies, and the global investment push challenging European competitiveness, not to mention Beijing's "authoritarian advance" in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, have been troubling European countries for a while. But previously, says Oertel, the Chinese leadership had either been neutral or even supportive whenever Europe faced a crisis. In Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and the annexation of Crimea in 2014, China stayed on the side-lines. And during the global financial crisis and European sovereign debt crisis in 2008-10, Beijing not only stabilised international markets but even supported troubled European economies. The EU, against this backdrop, was taken aback at China's assertiveness at home and abroad during the pandemic ~ from zero-Covid to mask diplomacy. But the tipping point seems to have been Beijing's stance on the Ukraine war.
Many in the EU had assumed at the beginning of the conflict that the Chinese would play a constructive role to end the fighting; that Beijing would place its geopolitical interests over purely economic considerations came as a shock to these policymakers. China has played along with, and even amplified, the Russian narrative that the Ukraine conflict is a manifestation of Moscow defending itself against the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's expansionist agenda. Beijing's diplomatic support to and growing imports from Russia are strengthening President Vladimir Putin's ability to continue the war. In this context of cooling relations with China, Taiwan comes into play for the EU, which is the island's largest foreign investor. The volume of bilateral trade rose to more than 68 billion dollars in 2021.
Pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions as well as global semiconductor shortages have brought home to the EU the need for like-minded, reliable partners. In fact, Europe's position on Taiwan shifted significantly during the pandemic. Taipei's highly effective Covid-19 support for Europe including the delivery of protective equipment played an important part in this policy shift, especially when contrasted with Beijing's hostile rhetoric trying to underscore the inability of democratic governments to handle the pandemic. Taiwan's central role in post-pandemic semiconductor supplies, heightened geopolitical tensions due to the Ukraine war, and the weaponisation of trade has made the EU re-assess its position on developments in the Taiwan Strait. China's frequent incursions into Taiwan's airspace and its massive military build-up, a matter of concern for European countries over past years, is now, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, being viewed as a dealbreaker

Plastic packaging is a growing problem – there's no denying it. Each year, more and more plastic ends in landfills and damages our environment and although the beauty industry isn't the only cause of it, it's certainly a big problem. Brands are slowly picking up the pace and trying more towards being more eco-friendly, but we're excited to see that a brand has taken the step and launched a zero waste programme.
120 billion units of packaging created by global beauty industry each year!
The Beauty Kitchen's global programme is launched with their 'Return. Refill. Repeat' scheme.
The premise is simple: once you've emptied your products, you return your containers to Beauty Kitchen, who will then wash, refill and return them to you. They'll even pay for the postage and you can earn up to 50% off your next order.
Beauty Kitchen is on a mission to create the most effective, natural and sustainable beauty products in the world. They're driven by a passion for beauty products that really work and are a joy to use. They have a strong belief in nature and are always looking for the most sustainable way to create effective beauty products.
This is such a positive step in the right direction and we hope to see more brands move towards schemes like this!
This is currently available in the UK only, but they're looking to expand.

Privacy Across Borders (CANCELLED) (LAW-795TP-001)
Alex Joel,John Kropf
New technologies generate a torrent of personal data that fuel global commerce and deliver other important societal benefits, but that also pose critical risks to privacy. Not only do legal frameworks often lag behind technological change, but they also adopt different approaches to protecting privacy. These differences can lead to friction between countries, creating barriers to cross-border data flows. Is privacy conflict inevitable at the international level? Are there ways to transcend differences in a manner that both protects privacy and secures the benefits of new technologies? This seminar will explore the regulatory and oversight structures that countries are putting in place to ensure that society realizes technology's promise while managing its privacy risks. In this seminar students will learn the fundamentals of U.S., European and other regional privacy frameworks, and examine how differences in those frameworks have created legal and policy conflicts that pose challenges for cross-border flows of data. We will how national security considerations have injected tensions in the trans-Atlantic space, and will examine in detail the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework to assess its chances as a long-term solution. In addition, we will study other multilateral approaches, such as those pursued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). Students will complete the course with a rich understanding of how different privacy approaches across borders can lead to both conflict and convergence.


Mr Ghosn, a transcending figure in the vehicle business, will be sacked from the Japanese firm after an executive gathering on Thursday, its CEO said.
He has been blamed for "huge demonstrations of unfortunate behavior", including under-detailing his compensation bundle and individual utilization of organization resources.
Nissan said it was not able give further points of interest on the offenses.
Japanese investigators presently can't seem to remark on Mr Ghosn's capture.
Nissan is the world's 6th biggest carmaker and its site in Sunderland is the UK's greatest vehicle plant.
