In Canada, the announcement was greeted by a mixture of anger and frustration, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford for once seeming to agree that there was little their governments could do beyond helping retrain the thousands of laid-off workers at GM and the untold numbers of other firms ... |
Unlike the situation 10 years ago, when the two levels of government loaned GM and Chrysler billions of dollars to help them avoid bankruptcy, this time GM is profitable and not seeking help from governments here or elsewhere. |
In an editorial Tuesday, The Globe and Mail termed those responses “depressing but realistic,” noting that GM has more manufacturing capacity than sales and several factories are consequently operating well below capacity, and was significantly downsizing operations around the world. |
GM’s decision has been to refocus its operations on what’s selling now – trucks and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) – and what it will need in the future, namely electric and self-driving cars. |
We have no doubt that some plant closures made sense, and clearly the Oshawa plant was relatively old and currently designed to be able to assemble several different types of cars and trucks, some of which have been unpopular, such as the full-size Chev Impala. But GM also plans to stop production of almost all its car... |
This brings to mind the old warning, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” the idiomatic expression for an avoidable error in which something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other words, rejecting the favorable along with the unfavorable. |
Is there any reason to doubt that the same thing will happen with the planned elimination of another six models of Chevs and Cadillacs? |
What likelihood is there that any current owners of these discontinued cars will choose a GM SUV rather than another manufacturer’s car? |
We note that no similar fate has befallen the Toyota Corolla or the Honda Civic. |

Winter is approaching almost as quickly as those radiant summer tans are fading. We’re lucky that the Australian government has done a good job on educating the public about the dark side of tanning, letting us all know that “there’s nothing healthy about a tan”. However, now everyone is asking a similar question, is s... |
Since we’ve all been told to avoid the dangers of tanning you may be thinking that spray tanning is unsafe, but luckily for you we’re here to explain that it isn’t! If you look at the components of spray tanning, you’ll find that the active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This long and mysterious name may make yo... |
So, is spray tanning safe? Yes, nevertheless it is essential to keep in mind that just because you have a healthy glow from the spray tan does not mean that you can disregard your usual skin safety. A spray tan is not a replacement for sunscreen, and your skin is not immune from damage. Therefore, always apply sunscree... |
So just because the temperatures are dropping, this doesn’t mean your tan has to go into hibernation as well. Go treat yourself to a spray tan and rest assured knowing that it’s safe! And next time someone asks you “is spray tanning safe”, you’ll know what to tell them! |

This morning was set aside for making more applesauce. I came downstairs early, and faced a sink full of dishes. I needed to empty out the sink. Why was the sink full of dishes? Because the dishwasher was full to the brim with clean dishes. So I needed to empty out the dishwasher first. But before I could do that, I ha... |
Finally I got the apples all cut and simmering and processed through the food mill. Since this is one of those batches where the skins were left on, the end result is a bright pink. Very pretty! I added 3 cups of white sugar to what was a little more than 4 quarts of applesauce. And no cinnamon, either. I wanted this b... |
And now I have a question. I am interested in this recipe: Honey-ginger Pickled Apples. (An aside, we used to live across the street from that restaurant, Evoo. Way back in 2001. The restaurant is now gone. The food was always amazing, and I expect this recipe to be. But I knew about this recipe not from the internet, ... |
A PropertyBinder synchronizes the value of several variables between themselves. |
The access to the variables is done via the PropDescriptor format, hence a PropertyBinder stores a list of PropDescriptor with the same types. |
Adds a property to the list. If the binder is not local then aProp should neither be a local descriptor, otherwise the descritpor reference will become invalid. |
Triggers the setter of each property. This method is usually called at the end of a setter method (in the master/source setter). |
Provides an access to the property descriptors for additional List operations. Note that the items whose life-time is managed should not be modified. |
Adds a new property to the list. The life-time of the new descriptor is handled internally. |
Removes the aIndex-nth property from the list. The item is freed if it has been allocated by newBinding. source might be invalidated if it matches the item. |
Sets the property used as source in updateFromSource(). |
Returns the property used as source in _updateFromSource(). |
Calls change() using the value of source. |

Sorvetes Mania is an ice cream company in João Pessoa, Paraíba state, Brazil. The line of products for wich we developed package design includes 2l pots, water and milk based ice lollys, truffled ice lollys and ice cream cones. |
For the ice cream cones we created the Magicone brand, that translates into english as Magic One and into portuguese as Cone Mágico. We came up with this name using naming methodology that applies linguistic filters, synonyms and relations search in numerous languages. |
In each line we sought to transmit the proper appeals of the product, presenting the flavours in an amusing and elegant fashion. In addition, our creation parameters considered the environment in which the product is sold, main competitors and diversity of consumer public. The image of the product is always given great... |
In points of sale, the difference is evident. Each product has its own attractive appeal. And the complete range creates a visual volume that highlights the brand. The outcome was a real increase in sales and the consolidaton of the brand in the Paraíba region. |
