LONDON --- Britain could buy only half its target of 138 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets, according to sources close to the government’s defence review.
The UK has agreed to buy 48 of the stealth multirole jets by the end of 2025 for £9.1 billion. It is the most expensive weapons system in military history.
Britain has ordered the short take-off and vertical landing variant of the jet, which is designed to fly from aircraft carriers. The Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class carriers are expected to deploy with between 12 and 36 F-35s on board, depending on the operation.
A wider British aspiration to buy 138 of the aircraft over the lifespan of the US-led programme is seen as unlikely to be fulfilled, defence sources said.
The 138 figure was confirmed as an ambition in the UK defence review in 2015, but the Commons defence committee noted later that this decision was taken “following some hesitation”. Britain is not contractually obliged to buy any more than 48.
It is understood that as part of the foreign policy, defence and security integrated review due to conclude in November, military chiefs have discussed the figure of 70 F-35s as a credible minimum total order. (end of excerpt)

Gildan to close Catawba County facility
Some operations will remain at the Newton facility, including an outlet store. A company spokeswoman didn’t know how many jobs would remain at the facility, though.
Genevieve Gosselin, director of corporate communications, says the facility, which was used for specialty and short-run items, operated “below economic levels.”
Gosselin says the employees, who were told of the decision last week, will be offered jobs at other Gildan facilities or help in finding other local work. The production will stop by the end of September.
“It was a difficult decision to close the plant,” she says. “We regret the impact.”
It’s the second local layoff announcement for the company.
Montreal-based Gildan said in October that it would close two Catawba County distribution centers and move customer service jobs out of the county. That involved 85 jobs, the company said then.
Gildan bought GoldToeMoretz in April 2011, paying $350 million for the sock maker.

FOUL-MOUTHED Scots chef Gordon Ramsay has vowed never to speak to Jamie Oliver again as the pair's bitter feud intensified.
The tit-for-tat spat turned nasty after the Naked Chef appeared to make remarks about having a bigger family - a year after the Kitchen Nightmares star lost a baby.
Ramsay said their fall-out initially started out as a bit of fun, but Gordon felt Jamie was boasting about having one more kid than him.
Speaking in an interview in the new edition of Radio Times, Gordon insists he’ll never talk to his rival again unless he apologises to his wife, Tana, who miscarried last year when she was five months pregnant.
He said: “Jamie turned round and said, ‘I’ve got five kids, he’s got four kids.’ To judge someone else’s family on the amount of kids you have, that’s....
“Boys will always fight and butt heads but Tana was mortified. I mean really mortified.”
In an exclusive interview for The Sun in August Jamie, 42, compared Gordon, 50, to a dementia sufferer after Ramsay had made digs at him on TV.
Then he added: "He’s got four kids and I’ve got five kids and I don’t want to be slagging off some kids’ dad on telly. It’s not nice.”
“None of that was spoken about when he was label-slapping with Sainsbury’s for ten years. And no disrespect, but we’re chefs, not politicians. Sadly, the only time he opens his mouth is when he’s got something to promote.”
He could also be at loggerheads with his pals, David and Victoria Beckham. Posh last week posted on social media images of the seeds she feeds her kids. But Gordon hates the trendy food.
He said: “Seeds should be inside a f***ing cage. Fed to your parrot. Or your canaries. Seeds should go inside a cage and stay inside a cage.”
Gordon, who was talking ahead of his forthcoming ITV documentary, Gordon Ramsay On Cocaine, also revealed he and wife, Tana, had patched things up with her father Chris Hutcheson.

He has just served time in prison for hacking his famous son-in-law’s emails.
He said: “It was a hard pill for her to swallow. Knowing her father was out to destroy us as a family. But she’s had it out with him. He’s laid his cards on the table.
“He’s apologised to all of us and I like to think there’s a line in the sand now.”

While the Arctic in 2014 continued its long-term warming, much of the rest of the world was struck by wacky and extreme weather, and studies are underway to determine whether the trends are related, said scientists who released an annual report on the Arctic on Wednesday.
The Arctic Report Card 2014, compiled by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, described a year of warm weather, open seas, proliferating far-north plankton blooms and steady spread of vegetation northward.
Overall warming continued in the Arctic in 2014 at twice the global rate, but there were areas of noteworthy weather, said the report card. January temperatures in Alaska soared as much as 18 degrees higher than average, for example, and the story was similar in northern Europe, the report said. Sea surface temperatures in the Chukchi Sea, Bering Strait region and the Laptev Sea north of Russia were particularly high, up to 7.2 degrees above the 1982-2010 average, the report said.
Related to -- and reinforcing -- the warmer Arctic conditions was continued diminishment of sea ice and terrestrial snow cover, said the report, released at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting in San Francisco.
Sea ice retreated this year to the sixth lowest coverage on satellite record. The dearth of snow cover was more dramatic, according to the report. April snow cover in Eurasia was the lowest on record, and June snow cover in North America was the third lowest on record. Snow disappeared three to four weeks earlier than normal across much of the far north, thanks to lower snowpack amounts and high temperatures.
While the Arctic basked in warmth and early thaw, a wavy jet stream pattern pushed bitter cold to the U.S. East Coast and other mid-latitude areas, report authors said.
That lead scientists to ask: Are events in the Arctic and the mid-latitudes related?
There is not yet a consensus about that, said NOAA oceanographer Jim Overland, who cited the short duration of the period in which the phenomenon was documented and the "normal chaos" of weather.
"We know that the Arctic temperatures are greatly increasing, so the forcing is there but the linkage is still circumstantial," Overland said at a news teleconference unveiling the Arctic Report Card. "We've seen a more wavier jet stream in the last five winters compared (to) before that, so the potential is there, but the (scientific) community is still uncertain whether that's primarily random or the sea ice or snow, or other factors, may be persisting."
Steve Vavrus, senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Climatic Research, agreed that the "jury is still out" on the relationship between the jet stream meandering and the warming Arctic, but that recent experience is an important lesson.
"These wavy, highly wavy, high persistent weather patterns can have a huge impact, regardless of the cause, and if, in fact, they are going to become more common as a result of Arctic amplification, this is something that we really need to resolve and get beyond whose method is correct and how to assess the data at this point," Vavrus said at the news conference.
Other elements of the Arctic Report Card discussed the status of the world's polar bear subpopulations, some of which are in decline. The Southern Beaufort Sea and Western Hudson Bay populations are among the four populations known to be in decline, while Canada's McClintock Channel population is the only one known to be increasing, according to the report card.
Conditions in Greenland, where reflectivity of the ice sheet in August was the lowest ever measured, were also discussed in the report. Although melting occurred over nearly 40 percent of the ice sheet, and although the rate was above the average measured from 1981 to 2010, the total mass of the ice sheet was unchanged at the end of the melt season, the report said.
Asked about predictions for an ice-free Arctic in summer, the report card's chief editor noted that models vary -- with some predicting such an event as soon as five or 10 years and others predicting ice-free conditions at the end of the century.
"The important point about the models is not to dwell on the fact that they differ, but it's to dwell on the similarity, that they all point in the same direction towards, if not a totally ice-free summer/end-of-summer, a greatly, greatly reduced ice cover compared to what it is now," said Martin Jeffries, Arctic science adviser and program officer for Arctic and Global Prediction at the Office of Naval Research.
It is also important to recognize that Arctic sea ice need not completely disappear in summer for the melt to have major impacts on physical and biological systems or human uses, Jeffries said.
"You don't have to go to zero for these to become a big deal," he said.

Kim Jones’s love for collaborations has never been a secret, however, the recently announced collaboration with Sacai’s Chitose Abe was a surprise to us. Not due to the partnership itself, but due to the change from high-low collaborations (which we’ve been witnessing all year) to high-fashion power couples like this one.
“I’ve always loved [Chitose Abe] and I just think she’s one of the coolest women in the world. And we talked about doing this since I was at Vuitton, and then finally it happened” explained Kim Jones to WWD.
On Mondays, Dior and Sacai announced that they would be joining forces for a menswear capsule collection: a collection marked by the creation of a new logo that will include both brands names.
The upcoming collection has been described as a creative conversation between two fashion cultures, the French and Japanese one, blending the necessity of modernity in fashion with the understanding and appreciation of heritage.
“creative conversation between two designers, two heritages and two cultures”
The concept will be centred around the hybridisation of the two fashion houses and their designs, which will be present in the conceptualisation of their designs to their manufacture. The collection will include everything from trucker jackets to fishtail coats and berets, respecting the essence of the Dior silhouette and motifs but reimagined and balanced with Sacai’s fabrics and colour palette.
The Dior x Sacai capsule collection will be available starting from November 2021. Check out our favourite looks from the collaboration below.

PrimeCuts: Picture Editor Nominees on Editing
Emmy-nominated television motion picture editors share their journeys and discuss their craft.
To become an Emmy-nominated picture editor, you must have visual storytelling skills. But a little moxie doesn’t hurt, either.
Early in her career, for instance, Shannon Mitchell, A.C.E., nominated this year for Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black in the category of Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series, would check the Hollywood Reporter film production listings and make cold calls, scoring some editing jobs.
Kent Beyda, A.C.E., a nominee for HBO’s special Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays in the Short-Form Segments and Variety Specials category, contacted his mother’s high school friend Gena Rowlands when he moved to Los Angeles from Boston and was invited to lunch; he wound up as a production assistant on a movie the actress was making, where he got a crash course in 35mm editing.
Finding a mentor is another plus. As a Mississippi college student, John Duffy, A.C.E., nominated for Fox/NatGeo’s COSMOS: A SpaceTime Odyssey in Nonfiction Programming, met Rocky’s Oscar-winning editor Richard Halsey, who invited him to Los Angeles and helped him get jobs.
Chris McCaleb, nominated with Kelley Dixon for the “Granite State” episode of AMC’s Breaking Bad, had first met Dixon in 2010, when he was an assistant editor on the pilot of HBO’s horseracing drama Luck.
She later hired him for the ABC series Red Widow, and then, when her assistant editor retired, for Breaking Bad. “She called me and said, ‘Are you ready to go to the big show?’” McCaleb recalled.
She knew it was his favorite television show – which did create a bit of a downside, as it meant, McCaleb thought to himself, “I can’t watch the last season of Breaking Bad!”
McCaleb, Mitchell, Duffy and Beyda shared their stories during “Prime Cuts 8,” the eighth annual gathering of nominated editors held during the 66th Emmy Awards season.
This year’s panelists represented all of the seven picture-editing categories; also participating were Jason Bielski, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live (Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series); Emily Hsuan, Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid (Reality Programming) and Skip Macdonald, FX Networks’ Fargo (Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries or a Movie), as well as the “Felina” series finale episode of Breaking Bad.
Actor-director-producer Fred Savage moderated. The panel, which was open to the public, was held at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in the NoHo Arts District and was presented by the Academy’s Picture Editors Peer Group Executive Committee and governors Scott Boyd, A.C.E. and Stuart Bass, A.C.E.
Skip Macdonald, as it would turn out, would go on to win the Emmy Award for his work on Breaking Bad.
His versatility, as evidenced by the two nominations, has served him well. “Yes,” he said, when asked by Savage if it were important to learn a variety of editing styles. “When you start cutting, you have a place to go if something isn’t working.” Macdonald’s father was an editor, so he’d visit his dad’s cutting rooms as a child, but started his own career doing sound effects before switching to editing.
Colleague McCaleb had first learned about editing working on Michael Mann projects early in his career. Jason Bielski had “stumbled into editing,” he said, after joining the Jim Henson Company as a college intern and then staying on full time; he worked at Henson for twelve years and eventually was asked to cut segments.
“I liked the problem-solving nature of it,” Bielski said; because the Henson characters were puppets, “I could only show them from the waist up.”
Mitchell also “fell into” picture editing, she said. She began her career at the National Film Board of Canada, where her tasks included synching dailies from the U. S. television shows being filmed in Vancouver.
She assisted for 12 years, also editing independent films at night and building her demo reel from that.
After various editing jobs in the U.S., her big break came with Showtime’s Californication.
Hsuan discovered documentaries and editing in film school, but, returning to her hometown San Francisco, wound up working instead in the tech industry, where she was a project manager and did get to direct and cut corporate videos.
When the industry fell, she decided to try for editing for real, six weeks later landing a job as a night logging assistant at a reality production company.
“I was really focused,” Hsuan recalled. “I knew reality was booming. There was a correlation between reality editing and documentary editing. I let people know I wanted to cut. I put a reel together; I always took a copy of everything I cut to make a reel. I’d get recommendations, and get work.”
Taking the initiative has served the editors well as their careers have blossomed. “What I’ve learned over the years is, your first instinct is the best instinct,” Bielski said. Agreed McCaleb, “I would second-guess myself at the beginning. Kelley would say, ‘Trust your instincts. I’ll tell you if it’s not good.’”
Still, instinct and initiative have to meld with the vision of the show’s creator and/or showrunner.
Fortunately, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is collaborative: “He really wants strong opinions,” McCaleb noted.
Mitchell admitted, “I always weasel in what I want.” Fortunately, “Californication and Orange Is the New Black have very strong showrunners. The editor’s cut is very much closer to the producer’s cut than to the director’s. It’s very easy to know what [Orange creator Jenji Kohan] wants. What she’s about is, the funny. You can have the emotion, but it’s about the funny. I do that through the cutting, the interpretation of the performances.”
On Fargo, Macdonald and executive producer Noah Hawley also shared similar visions, though, as Macdonald pointed out, “The longer you’ve worked on a show, the more you know what the vision is. This was a new show. A lot of times they had a clear vision of where they wanted to go, and I’d come in with an idea they hadn’t thought of. That’s where the collaboration comes in.”
For Bielski, “You’re ultimately funneling and trying to distill what Jimmy wants,” he says of late-night show host Kimmel, who tells the team each morning the roster of “bits” for the day. “We’ve all been there a long time. Because of the compressed schedule, we don’t have time to say, ‘Let’s try it this way.’”
Beyda and star-writer Billy Crystal were on the same creative page regarding the comedy and beats for 700 Sundays, which was fashioned from two performances of the comedian’s autobiographical Tony Award-winning show about his youth and the time he spent with his late father.
There were nine cameras, but, “It wasn’t about coverage; it was about performance,” Beyda said.
One show was chosen as the better one to cut; Beyda also inserted Steadicam footage from the other show.
“Billy was pretty much consistent from performance to performance, but he would improvise, a word or a line,” Beyda said. “It was almost a no-brainer: basically, you followed him.” On the other hand, “there was live music, which was a challenge to cut, when the music was different [in the two performances].” And with the show running too long, it fell to Beyda to tell Crystal, who was understandably close to such personal material, that it had to be shortened.
Hsuan faces other types of challenges with Naked and Afraid, in which two strangers on each episode, a man and a woman, must try to survive in harsh environments without clothes, food or tools.
She has 21 days of footage for each 42.5-minute show, and is usually provided transcripts of the action.
“We work with story people, who tell us the major beats of the story,” Hsuan said. “In the first act, you introduce the characters.”
Besides the crew’s cameras, the participants have diary cameras, which they speak into and record. Not all footage is used in a linear manner: a shot of someone swimming underwater to catch a turtle for food, for instance, may have been recorded on a different day than the one in which it’s depicted on air.
Hsuan, at least, works with footage of people. For Duffy, editing COSMOS: A SpaceTime Odyssey, was, he said, “a study in placeholders. When I got there, there were no visual effects done, not a single one. I thought it was going to be a five-week job. It was seven months.”
Scenes about the universe were highly scripted, and built up from title cards, graphic displays and visual effects; host Neil deGrasse Tyson stood on a green-screen floor. “The first time, we had to decide what size he was going to be,” Duffy commented. “The script said what to do; it didn’t say how to do it.”
The editors would first view each episode’s visual effects in a screening room before working with them; footage included actual photos that had been made three-dimensional.
“It’s about pacing,” Duffy said of assembling all the elements. “If you got too slow, it seemed as if you were educational. If it was too fast, you couldn’t track it.”
In response to audience questions, the editors said they work with Avid software, and recommended that aspiring editors learn about special visual effects; they should also network with as many people as possible.
Many editors work in windowless rooms; Bielski noted some aids Kimmel thoughtfully provided his team, who toil in a theater basement: sunlamps – and a fake window.

Rookie tight end Jordan Akins caught two touchdowns to help the Houston Texans defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 17-10 Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
The third-rounder from UCF’s first scoring reception was a 6-yard catch thrown by backup quarterback Brandon Weeden, who finished going 9-of-11 for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Akins’ score gave Houston a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter.
Akins’ second touchdown was midway through the second quarter, and hauled in a 14-yard touchdown, again from Weeden. Houston led 14-0 with 11:04 until halftime.
Starting quarterback Deshaun Watson saw his first action since tearing his ACL on Nov. 2, but stayed in for just one series. Watson threw one pass for a 4-yard completion to receiver Bruce Ellington, who tied a team-high three catches for 22 yards.
Houston defensive end J.J. Watt did not play, nor did edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. However, the Texans pass rush was effective under returning defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel.
Fourth-year defensive end Angelo Blackson had a sack for the Houston defense on first-and-10 late in the first quarter. The 5-yard loss stalled the Chiefs’ drive, and defensive end Christian Covington and linebacker Duke Ejiofor pressured quarterback Patrick Mahomes into an incomplete pass on third down on Kansas City’s first drive.
Mahomes finished the night completing 5-of-7 passes for 37 yards. Backup quarterback Chad Henne was the team’s leading passer with 91 yards and a touchdown on eight completions on 14 attempts.
Texans running back Lamar Miller had a team-high four carries for 29 yard. Third-string quarterback Joe Webb led the team with 40 rushing yards on three carries. Running back Troymaine Pope led Houston with 47 receiving yards on three catches, including a 34-yard screen pass.
Running back Tyler Ervin and receiver Braxton Miller each had a kickoff return for 18 and 23 yards respectively. Ervin handled two punt returns for 12 yards.
The Texans return to Houston to resume training camp with joint practices scheduled with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15-16 ahead of the teams’ Week 2 preseason showdown on Aug. 18 at NRG Stadium.
Houston Texans – 7 7 3 0 – 17

A hotel has launched an unusual payment service in an attempt to attract local farmers - the chance to barter for their accommodation with straw, silage or sheep instead of cash.
Bill Ward, owner of the 18-bedroom Dunsley Hall Country House Hotel in Whitby, North Yorkshire, who also runs a small working farm, said the idea initially arose to help hard-up farmers.
"It's not easy to make farmers part with their money, so to get them to stay at the hotel we came up with the idea of charging them agricultural produce, such as grain or silage," he said. "But to get a bit more publicity we extended the offer to livestock."
Under the new system, payment for accommodation, which usually starts at £70 per night, is agreed on in advance, with the price of the goods offered measured against current market value.
But Ward admitted the scheme has not attracted a great deal of interest to date. "The only offer we have had so far has been a dog, which we declined," he said.

'I created it': Former Fashion Santa Paul Mason fights for brand's ownership
The former Fashion Santa, Paul Mason, is speaking out after Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre revealed this week that a younger 31-year-old model
named Adam Martin would replace the 53-year-old as the new stylish Santa this holiday season.
The announcement incited an online backlash with Mason’s loyal fans demanding that the mall bring him back for this year’s holiday marketing campaign. There was also speculation by social media users that Mason and the shopping centre were feuding over the Fashion Santa brand’s ownership rights.
Mason told CTV’s Your Morning on Thursday that he was speaking publicly about the controversy in order to “clear the air.”
“I am the rightful owner of Fashion Santa. I created it,” Mason declared. “It’s my pitch and I’m here to defend it.”
The handsome model with the iconic white beard claimed he had invented the idea of a sleek, modern and chic Santa Claus and pitched it to various retailers during the summer of 2014. Mason also argued that he came up with the proposal to raise money for the SickKids Foundation using the Fashion Santa persona.
In December 2015, Yorkdale Shopping Centre filed for copyright protection for the Fashion Santa brand and Mason followed suit by filing his own claim two weeks later.
“I filed for copyright protection because it’s mine,” Mason argued. “I wanted to put a stop to it.”
Mason said he originated the Fashion Santa concept after his mother died three years ago. He said he grew out his beard while he was grieving and that’s how he came up with the modern Kris Kringle look.
For the past two holiday seasons, Mason posed in photo campaigns, videos and in person at the mall during the highly successful marketing campaign. He even took countless selfies photos with fans, including pop star Justin Bieber, to raise money for the SickKids Foundation. Every time a shopper took a photo with Mason and shared the image online with the campaign’s hashtag, the mall donated a $1 to the charity. Last year, Yorkdale Shopping Centre gave $10,000 to SickKids Foundation, according to a spokesperson for the mall.
Richard Powers, a lawyer who specializes in trademark cases, who has nothing to do with this matter, told CTVNews.ca that, if Mason owned the copyright to the “Fashion Santa” brand, he and the mall would have needed a formal agreement to that effect before the marketing campaign began.
“In the absence of an agreement the law is pretty clear. The employer owns the intellectual property that’s developed,” Powers said in a telephone interview on Thursday.
Powers said he doesn’t believe that Mason had an agreement with the shopping centre because if he did, he would have revealed it by now. Powers also said he’s not aware of any evidence to suggest that Mason came up with the idea in the first place.
Powers thinks that the former Fashion Santa may be trying to secure a financial settlement.
“I see it really as a money grab on his part and for publicity,” Powers said. “He’s looking for public sympathy.”
In a statement emailed to CTVNews.ca on Wednesday, Adrienne Simic, a spokesperson for the mall, wrote that Mason had been replaced this year because he hadn’t responded to their attempts to contact him.
“They held off very late in the season before moving forward with this current campaign in the hopes that Paul would continue to collaborate with them,” Simic wrote. “The Yorkdale team enjoyed working with Paul and remains open to working with him.”
Mason disagreed with Simic’s version of events and hinted there was more to the story.
“That’s what they said. That’s their take on it,” he said simply. “You can spin it any way you want.”
When he was pressed to elaborate further on what had transpired, Mason just said he was sticking to his version of events and that representatives for Yorkdale Shopping Centre were sticking to their story.
He also pointed to his successful 30-year career in the modelling industry as evidence of his professionalism.
“I have a great reputation,” Mason stated. “You don’t get to those places by not returning phone calls.”
Simic responded to CTV's inquiry about Mason's interview in an email in which she reiterated the shopping centre’s stance that they tried to reach Mason on multiple occasions since the beginning of June and he didn’t respond.
In his interview with CTV’s Your Morning, the former Fashion Santa also thanked his fans for their continued support.
“There’s a lot of love on social media,” Mason said. “It’s overwhelming actually.”

Mumbai: Ahmedabad-based drug maker Cadila Healthcare Ltd, also known as Zydus Cadila to distinguish it from Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd., has entered into a long-term drug discovery and development agreement with US-based multinational drug firm Eli Lilly and Company Inc.
On successful development of the new drug candidates, Zydus will receive up to $300 million as milestone payments, and a royalty once the drugs reach the market. The joint research programme will use the discovery and development capabilities of both companies in the new cardiovascular drugs segment, Zydus Cadila said in a statement on Monday to stock exchanges.
While Zydus Cadila will initiate the drug discovery and development process till Phase II stage, Lilly will retain the option to license any novel drug molecules that emerge from the programme for launch in the market.
Phase II is the proof of a concept stage, or the stage at which the drug is ready for trial in human subjects. Zydus Cadila currently has a research team of about 350, including scientists, and at least six cardiovascular products in development.

Quebec City, Canada, Jun 7 – Europe and hosts Canada warned US President Donald Trump on Thursday that they will not be intimidated at the G7 summit, despite fears that a trade war will weaken the Western alliance.
With the leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized democracies due in Quebec, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned the US leader that they would not roll over on trade tariffs.
And France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who met Trudeau in Ottawa before they headed on to the summit, said he would rally support from his British, German and Italian counterparts before they all sit down with Trump.
“The American President may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a six country agreement if need be,” Macron tweeted in English, turning to the medium Trump has made his own.
“Because these six countries represent values, they represent an economic market which has the weight of history behind it and which is now a true international force.”
Trump, of course, responded in kind.
“Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the US massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers,” he tweeted.
“The EU trade surplus with the US is $151 Billion, and Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow.”
Trump went on to allege that Canada’s tariffs on US dairy products “are hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!”
Trump, who met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Washington before the summit, may be more preoccupied with next week’s historic nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
But before leaving Washington, he made clear that he too has no intention of backing down on his plan to rebalance trade by imposing tariffs on steel, aluminum and other goods imported from US allies.
– All-out trade war –
So great is the rift between traditional allies that some observers have suggested renaming the G7 summit the G6+1 — and Macron said they should not hesitate to reach agreements without Trump.
But observers point out that the group has never before failed to agree on some form of final communique, even in 1985, when they were likewise divided over trade.
Despite the threat that tensions over trade could tear the Western alliance apart and damage the cause of globalization and free trade, the usual group of anti-capitalist protesters gathered.
The main meetings will be held two-and-a-half hours north of Quebec City — and of the international media center housing most of the reporters following the summit — in La Malbaie, Charlevoix.
But a small group of around 400 protesters had gathered in the provincial capital anyway on Thursday night, and were confronted by a large police operation to contain them.
As night fell crowds gathered near the conference media center, some of them burning G7 flags and assaulting journalists.
Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel had already admitted it will be difficult to even agree on wording for the traditional joint communique at the two-day meeting.
Merkel said Wednesday there would be “no compromise for its own sake” and dropping the statement “may be the more honest way.”
Canada’s Trade Minister Francois Philippe Champagne was even more blunt, declaring: “What we are seeing is that the world economic order is under pressure, under attack.”
Top White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow opposed tariffs before joining Trump’s team, but now says he agrees the trade status quo hurts America.
“Until we can have reciprocal relationships, we will not have free trade, and we will not have fair trade,” Kudlow said.
– End of the world order –
The G7 developed in part because the world’s rich powers — despite their Cold War victory — became frustrated working through the broader multilateral system with lesser rivals.
The globalized economy they helped build had both winners and losers but, until Trump’s election, the United States was seen as the system’s uncontested leader and a major beneficiary.
But since coming to office in January 2017, Trump has pulled the US out of the Paris climate accord, the Iran nuclear deal and the TPP Pacific free trade deal.
The summit begins Friday in La Malbaie, in Charlevoix, north of Quebec, and runs until Saturday, when Trump flies on to Singapore.

London | British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to take the bold gambit of resuscitating her twice-rejected Brexit deal for a fresh parliamentary vote early next week, after MPs on Friday morning (AEDT) voted to sanction a delay to Britain's March 29 departure from the European Union.
Whether the Brexit delay is weeks, months or even years depends on Mrs May's success in getting her deal through Parliament next week and then persuading EU leaders to agree to the "Brextension".
The embattled Conservative leader is hoping to cudgel her rebellious eurosceptic backbenchers with a threat to send Brexit into limbo by putting off Britain's departure from the EU for a year or more if they again side with the opposition parties to defeat her deal.
The parliamentary motion to delay Brexit passed resoundingly by 412 votes to 202. It was the third in a tumultuous trio of crunch votes this week, but the first Mrs May has won.
The motion, written by the government, instructed the Prime Minister to ask the EU for a three-month delay if her Brexit deal is agreed by March 20, but to seek a potentially much longer delay if Parliament again rejects her deal.
EU leaders will consider the request for an extension to the Brexit process at a summit on March 21, but will be looking to Mrs May for a "convincing and credible justification" for the postponement.
"It will be for the European Council to consider such a request, giving priority to the need to ensure the functioning of EU institutions and taking into account the reasons for and duration of a possible extension," the European Commission said in a statement after the British parliament's vote.
If the Brexiteers and DUP do support Mrs May's deal in a fresh parliamentary vote next week, she will tell EU leaders that Britain needs a short delay - until June 30 at the latest - to finalise the British legislation and treaty ratification processes required before the transition period can start.
If they don't back her, her threat is to instead ask the EU leaders for a long delay, of perhaps a year or more, to rethink Britain's whole approach to Brexit. This might mean Britain having to participate in European parliamentary elections in May.
Such a long delay would be anathema to the pro-Brexit group of Conservative MPs, and may draw many into supporting her deal despite their reservations.
In essence, she is now framing the choice for eurosceptics as her deal versus no Brexit (or a distant, softer Brexit), rather than the previous implicit choice of her deal versus a no-deal Brexit.
EU Council President Donald Tusk on Thursday took to Twitter to support the idea of a prolonged Brexit rethink.
"During my consultations ahead of EUCO [the leaders' meeting next Thursday], I will appeal to the EU27 to be open to a long extension if the UK finds it necessary to rethink its Brexit strategy and build consensus around it," he said.
The success of Mrs May's Brextension motion looks to have made a no-deal exit on March 29 less likely. The only readily foreseeable way in which that could now occur is if EU leaders next week refuse to grant Mrs May a Brexit extension.
A second possibility is that if Mrs May fails to get her deal through Parliament next week, she might come under heavy Tory pressure to opt for a no-deal Brexit rather than a long delay.
Mrs May will look to break the Brexit deadlock by resubmitting her beleaguered deal to MPs as early as Monday or Tuesday.
She is expected to bolster her pitch with fresh legal advice that may persuade her Conservative backbench foes and her erstwhile Northern Irish allies the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to vote for it.
Her deal proposes a transition period until the end of 2020, or perhaps later, during which Britain and the EU negotiate a longer-term comprehensive trade partnership.
The deal was rejected by huge margins this week and in January because of its "backstop" protocol: the interim arrangements to prevent customs checks on the politically fragile border between Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland, which detractors fear could become permanent.
On Friday morning Mrs May enjoyed a rare taste of parliamentary success, seeing off potentially threatening amendments to her Brexit delay motion.
MPs voted against an amendment proposing a second Brexit referendum - although many Labour MPs abstained because referendum campaigners argued that the time wasn't yet ripe for this vote to succeed.
The government also narrowly saw off an attempt by pro-EU parliamentarians to wrest the Brexit debate out of Mrs May's hands and dictate the agenda.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump on Friday (AEDT) weighed in to the Brexit debate. He said he was surprised at "how badly" the negotiations had gone and suggested it "could have been negotiated in a different manner". He also said the debate was "tearing the country apart".

The potato processing industry has developed quickly during the past decade in India, and the demand for processing grade potato tubers has increased accordingly. As a consequence, potato market prices have dramatically risen, particularly in the southern states, where production is still limited. The potential for developing the production in these non-traditional areas has been demonstrated. Agronomical and socio-economic constraints need, however, to be better identified and addressed. The International Potato Centre (CIP) and the ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, have realized a joint survey to analyse the socio-economic factors determining the feasibility and profitability of potato cultivation in the Ananthapuramu and Kurnool districts of Andhra Pradesh State. Respondents established a list of climatic, natural, inputs marketing, technical knowhow and policy support constraints and identified high temperatures, availability and access to irrigation water, price and quality of seeds and costs of inputs as the main potential limiting factors of potato yield. A profitability analysis of potato cultivation under different price and yield scenarios, comparing different crops cultivated by the respondents, indicated that potato was an attractive crop in both districts. A sensitivity analysis, however, revealed a low profitability resilience under the unexpectedly worse productivity conditions in the Kurnool district, where the estimated yield level is already significantly lower than in the Ananthapuramu district due to heat stress. The study consequently recommends introduction of potato in the Ananthapuramu district along with a suggested action plan to address the main production constraints and ensure profitability to the farmers.

First up is the spicy peanut noodles. We sauteed a bit of onion and garlic, then mixed in a little massaman curry paste (careful when buying pre-packaged curry paste--many have shrimp paste or fish sauce as ingredients). Then we chucked in some zucchini, carrots, purple cabbage, and mushrooms and let those cook for a few minutes. A few hearty scoops of chunky peanut butter, about 1/2 c. soy milk, and a handful of chopped peanuts for the top. Fresh coriander as a garnish would have been great, but we're having a bit of trouble growing it lately.
When I ate the leftovers for lunch, the purple cabbage had turned everything into a gray-ish blue. Not very pretty, but still tasty!
Last night's dinner was a salad full of local baby spinach, avocado, zucchini, carrots, tomato, sauteed onions, and pan-fried tofu. We first started making this on Tuesday for dinner, but found that none of the 6 avocados we got from the market were ripe. So the tofu marinated for about 3 days in a simple mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and the juice of one lemonade fruit. For dressing, I mixed the leftover marinade with a bit of Australian mustard and balsamic vinegar. The salad was flanked by Andy's bruschetta--stale bread, toasted and covered in leftover spaghetti sauce, or avocado + tomato + black olives. This dinner was quick to put together, and left me feeling very full and satisfied.

Project descriptionTerrestrial ecosystems are complex in structure and dynamic through time. This spatio-temporal heterogeneity embeds uncertainty in global biogeochemical models and limits our understanding of how ecosystems will respond to changes in climate and land-use. We need better quantification of ecosystem spatio-temporal heterogeneity to improve global model predictions and inform land-management and biodiversity conservation under global change. Remote sensing plays a critical role in mapping and monitoring the structure and composition of ecosystems through time. Three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning (LiDAR) has proven particularly useful for the structural representation of ecosystem elements. Recent improvements in sensor technology enable rapid 3D characterization at individual tree, branch and leaf scales. These advances hold large potential for advancing the field of global biogeochemical cycling – by improving estimates of vegetation biomass, mapping plant functional traits, modeling canopy architecture, and quantifying rates of growth and mortality.
Capturing dense 3D point-clouds has become easier and faster – but turning these point-clouds into ecologically meaningful information remains a major challenge in global change ecology. To realize the full potential of 3D remote sensing for terrestrial ecosystem research, we need to turn to the field of Computer Vision for extracting relevant features from raw point-cloud data.
We seek a candidate with a strong background in computer science and a keen interest in terrestrial ecology to help bridge the gap between 3D data and information. The main direction of research will be to apply, extend, and develop modern machine learning techniques for tree segmentation from unstructured 3D point clouds. Recent advances in the area of semantic segmentation show that segmentation can be formulated as a machine learning problem with all the potentials arising from available techniques in that area.

Chesterfield is the perfect English settlement to visit, located 18 kilometers ( miles) south of Sheffield City. Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and step foot into this market town, situated at the confluence of the River Rother and River Hipper.
After explaining that archeology was “not exactly rocket science”? Hard factual evidence of this road, Ryknield Street – which ran from Derventio Derby to the Roman fort at Templeborough Rotherham – have been found as far north as Wingerworth and as far south as the Yorkshire border beyond Barlborough. Before their time, the site was simply a spur of high ground to the west of the marshy valley of the Rother”?. This was border country and Chesterfield marked the invisible dividing line between north and south and was strategically valuable because of its position in the centre of the country, almost equidistant from both east and west coasts.
Frequent tribal battles took place in this area, and it is possible that the hilltop site of the later Roman fort was originally a defensive stronghold for the southernmost outpost of the Brigantes. When the Romans arrived in the Trent Valley there was a population explosion and many new farms were established to grow grain and other crops in order to supply the vast legions who were pushing north. These grew alongside the newly constructed roads, as evidenced by Roman Farmsteads discovered at Roystone Grange, near Minninglow, which stands alongside The Street, the Roman road which ran from Derby Derventio to Buxton, and others alongside Hereward Street and beside Rykneild Street at both Higham and Pentrich.
All who resisted were mercilessly put to the sword and their villages destroyed. The conquered Celts and Britons were enslaved, used as forced labour in the massive road building programme, and were sent in as front line troops wherever the Imperial Roman Army met with native resistance.

DENVER — Colorado voters could soon be tasked with deciding whether to bring wolves back to the state.
The Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund announced Tuesday that it submitted more than 200,000 signature to the Colorado secretary of state in hopes of placing restoration of wolves on the 2020 state ballot.
Initiative 107 instructs Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop, after public input, a science-based plan for reintroducing wolves to western Colorado by 2023. It also directs the Colorado General Assembly to develop a means to compensate ranchers for the small number of livestock that could potentially be lost to wolves each year, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
“These 200,000 signatures represent just a small sample of the overwhelming majority of Coloradans who support bringing wolves back to our state,” said Sam Gilchrist, a Colorado resident and western campaigns director for the NRDC Action Fund.
The last confirmed wolf sighting in Colorado was in 2015, when a wolf was killed near Kremmling.
The recent sighting of a gray wolf in northern Colorado has only fueled the debate over the future of the animal that once roamed Colorado freely.

My 69 Camaro is a hugger orange non-rallysport X66 which makes it a big block car (i.e. black grille) without the style trim.
Can someone confirm what the finish would be for the plastic headlamp bezels or surrounds ?
There are four choices from what I can tell: Argent or black bezels with or without chrome strip around headlamp.
My guess is the bezel color matches the grille color and the chrome strip shows up only with style trim option.

What, Why, How and Who of Floating Reed Beds
Floating reed beds are rafts of vegetation used in bodies of water to treat water quality issues. Councils across South East Queensland are trialling the success of such devices and the concept is proving successful especially as it comes with many other benefits.
The primary purpose of artificial floating reed beds is to improve water quality through biofiltration, preventing algal blooms through denitrification and plant nutrient uptake and the secondary purpose is to provide habitat for wildlife. They are also:
- Aesthetically pleasing for local residents and tourists
- Environmentally friendly
There are lots of elements to consider in the research and development, implementation and maintenance of Floating Reed Beds. At Technigro, we invest lots of time up front in the research of the various materials and structures that will support the best possible outcomes. Buoyancy is a critical outcome to the success of the rafts. This can be achieved by using floatation foam or plastic containing air voids. The internal layers can consist of coconut fibre, mats made of polyester or recycled bottles, synthetic geotechnical mats, open cell polyurethane foam, jute, soil and sand. Additional elements may be added that accumulate pollutants.
We create prototypes to ensure productivity when the crews go to site to install them. Below is an example of a Floating Reed Bed ready to go out on the water.
Once the concept is designed, trialed and produced, specialist crews are equipped with the right equipment and native plants to install them into place. The crews go out in canoes to harness the floating reed beds in place as can be seen in the image below:
The plants used in the beds are all aquatic natives. Below the crews are planting Myriophyllum crispatum and Bacopa monniera.
In some instances the secondary benefit, to provide habitat for local fauna, can also be a problem too as they eat and destroy the flora. The team at Technigro can create mini tree guards in order to protect the plants, which can be seen in the picture below:
In the instance that these do not work, a cage can be installed temporarily (as seen below) to allow the plants to imbed their root system.
Highly skilled and trained ecosystem restoration specialists with the appropriate qualifications. A team of at least 3 work together to set the sites up and maintain the reed beds on a scheduled basis. Stay tuned for a case study from the Natural Areas team on several floating reed bed projects they are currently working on.
