Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/7/2012 (1856 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg police chief Keith McCaskill put a good news-bad news spin on the department's 2011 annual report.
The good news: Crime rates are declining.
The bad news: They're still way too high and probably the highest in the country among major Canadian cities.
"Our efforts are working," McCaskill said during a Monday morning news conference. "The violent crime rate is coming down, property crime rates... are coming down."
McCaskill candidly admitted at the beginning of the news conference that he was releasing the annual report Monday in a bid to counter the negative news he expects will happen today when Statistics Canada releases its annual compendium of national crime rates, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. He believes the report will show Winnipeg has the highest violent crime rate among major Canadian cities.
"It's no secret we're doing this the day before the national figures are released," McCaskill said.
The chief was quick to add, however, that the 2011 local data show crime rates are coming down in Winnipeg and he believes they will continue to decline in the coming years.
"It's not something that's going to happen overnight. We have to keep on doing this to make this a safer city and I think our stats are showing that."
How bad Winnipeg's crime rate is compared to other cities will not be fully known until later today, with the release of the national data. But McCaskill hinted Winnipeg will lead the country in key categories: the highest rate of violent crime and the highest rate of youth crime.
Much of the good news McCaskill talked about Monday had been released earlier this month by Supt. Devon Clunis at a civic committee meeting. Clunis said violent crime has been falling for two years: violent crime dropped by nine per cent from 2009 to 2010 and by a further eight per cent from 2010 to 2011.
Clunis said the number of assaults with a weapon dropped 10.6 per cent from 2009 to 2010 and a further 8.8 per cent from 2010 to 2011.
McCaskill said there are a variety of social problems -- including alcohol and drug addictions and poverty -- that contribute to Winnipeg's high crime rate, adding the declines seen for 2011 compared to 2010 cannot be attributed solely to police work.
McCaskill said several government and non-government agencies are tackling the social problems and they should be credited along with police with helping to produce a decline in the crime rates.
"There are a lot of interesting things going towards reducing that crime rate and we're part of that strategy."
McCaskill identified several Winnipeg police initiatives he said were helping to rein in crime: the introduction of a citizen's action network and a violent-crime-reduction strategy, increased enforcement in the downtown area, targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs and a variety of police-led initiatives to mentor high-risk youth and provide alternatives to gang life.
McCaskill predicted the crime rates would continue to decline if the services continues to press these initiatives, but he acknowledged a new police chief might set different priorities.
Winnipeg's homicide rate for 2011 is almost double that for 2010 (41 versus 22) but McCaskill said there was an unprecedented surge in domestic homicide, a situation he said cannot be anticipated.
While Winnipeg has a high youth crime rate, McCaskill said part of that is a reflection that the province has the largest percentage of people between the ages of 10 and 24 in the country.
Highlights of the Winnipeg Police Service 2011 report:
Comparing crime -- 2011 vs. 2010:
|Sexual assault (Common)
|Sexual assault with a weapon
|Uttering threats
|Other violent crimes
(*On June 25, Police said missing persons Tanya Jane Nepinak and Carolyn Marie Sinclair had been murdered in 2011, raising the number of 2011 homicides in 2011 from 39 to 41)
- 14% decrease in overall crime
- 8% decrease in violent crimes
- 18% decrease in property crimes
- 3% decrease in drug crimes
- 2% increase in all other crimes
- Per capita costs: $291.68 - $280.01
- Police per residents: 1:489 - 1:488
- Tax-supported expenses: $201.8 million - $191.5 million

Rev. Marcel Guarnizo
March 13, 2012 by staff
Rev. Marcel Guarnizo, Rev. Marcel Guarnizo, a priest who denied communion to a lsbn, Barbara Johnson, at her mother's funeral has been placed on leave, according to the Roman Catholic archdiocese.
A letter from an archdiocese official said that the Rev. Guarnizo was placed on leave for engaging in intimidating behavior. According to The Washington Post, the letter was read at all Masses this weekend at St. John Neumann.
Rev. Thomas LaHood said the removal was not related to the communion incident, but "pertains to actions over the past week or two."
On Feb. 25, Johnson attended her mom's funeral at the St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with her partner.
When it came time for communion, Guarnizo issued a strong admonition that only Catholics in a state of grace could receive the sacrament, not lsbns. Rev. Guarnizo also refused to attend her mother's burial.

Sometime ago, I started Weekly Wilbur-isms. For a couple of weeks, Wilbur was giving me enough fodder to be worthy of it's own post. Lately he hasn't been coming to the party. SO – I have recruited my children for this week, in an effort to re-activate the -isms of our house.
There's been a couple…..
Murphy has made a friend at school. They are in their first term of Prep, so there are lots of friendships to be made and names to learn.
Murphy in the first week of term…… "I have a new best friend". Fabulous Murph – what is her name? Murphy – "Umm…………." with head cocked to one side, one eyebrow up and finger to her mouth in classic thinking pose.
Fast forward to week six (now)……"I am not going to live with you anymore Mummy, I will live at my friends house, and eat her food and play with her". Oh – Ok – which friend Murphy – what is her name? Murphy – "Ummmmm………"! Eventually she gets the name, and to her credit – it IS a tricky one!
Everytime Milla opens her mouth it's a weekly Wilbur-ism. I just can't record them all. You will just have to hang out with us to hear/see them all.
Last week, Madison was finishing off her school project on the topic of OIL RIGS. In it, she interviewed Daddy, and I slogged away and made a little film, using the footage Daddy sent her, PLUS her interview. (before anyone complains about me doing her homework – no – not at all, she was next to me the whole time, learning how to use iMovie and 'helping'). She decided to dress up in Wilburs work overalls to 'jazz things up a bit'. Here's where the Wilbur-ism comes in…..
"Mummy, do you want me to get Milla dressed while you get down Daddy's trousers?"
Ummm – WHAT?
I am pretty sure I heard Daddy say "yes please", even though he was 6000Km's away from us at the time. Me, on the other hand, I held it together – otherwise I would need to explain to FOUR little girls why I was writhing in mirth on the floor because someone asked me to 'get down Daddy's trousers'!
Maybe you would like to check out Madisons FILUM…..

Can dogs eat pears
- Dogs can eat pears
- Don't let dogs eat pear pits
Can dogs eat pears?
you may ask yourself can my dog eat pears?
Dogs can eat pears! Pears are actually a treat for dogs as they love the taste.
Do not feed too many pears to dogs however. An excess of any fruit can case dogs to have runny stool.
Do not feed the pear pit to dogs, as they can choke on them, and the pit can clog the intestinal tract.
Dogs prefer soft pears to hard pears.

A TETBURY business manager has set herself the challenge to swim one kilometre in the sea to raise awareness for the protection of the British coastline.
On July 12, Heather Scott, 52, will be swimming in the sea off the coast of Eastbourne to help charity The Marine Conservation Society. Over the next two months she will be swimming more than 32,000 metres in her local pool as she prepares for the charity's Big Sea Swim.
Despite her love of swimming, Heather is nervous about the task.
"I think it must be at least 30 years if not longer since I last did anything like this," she said. "You just don't know what is lurking beneath you in open water."
Tetbury's Turtle Mat Company, where Heather works, is a long-standing supporter of the Marine Conservation Society and has raised more than £5,000 for the charity. The company also adopted 20 turtles for 20 customers on World Turtle Day.

Israeli views on Sharon
By Peter Biles in Tel Aviv
It is three months since the February elections in Israel that brought right-wing Likud leader Ariel Sharon to power.
He formed a new government of national unity, but there is no sign of an end to the violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Tel Aviv is both Israel's commercial centre and a place for relaxation and enjoyment. In some respects, it is a world away from the politics of Jerusalem.
But here, like everywhere in Israel, people remain on their guard. They might like to forget the conflict with the Palestinians, but it is rarely out of their thoughts.
The trendy cafes of Sheinken Street are a meeting place for young Israelis. Many here voted for Ehud Barak in the election. They feared Ariel Sharon's reputation as a hardliner.
But three months on, the distinction between left and right in Israel is blurred.
"We've seen there's only one person who decides what happens," said one man, Iyar Semel. "That's Yasser Arafat. That's the voice of the Palestinians right now.
"If they want war, I and most of the population feel it's their choice much more than ours."
Bloodshed continues
But breaking the cycle of violence is the hardest task right now. And the mood among Israelis who want to see a return to the peace talks is one of uncertainty and some despair.
"We can't see an end to it."
Israel's national unity government, forged as a result of the conflict, has brought together politicians once poles apart. Ariel Sharon claims the atmosphere is good.
Analysts say that is because the government is not doing much while the violence continues and the peace talks are suspended.
"Unity governments never did anything in Israel's history. The big moves - and especially the big moves towards peace - have always been made by governments led by Likud or Labour, never together," said Israeli journalist Ofer Shelach.
"I don't expect this government will be any different,"
For now, in Tel Aviv's busy streets, there is always the threat of bombs. Israelis are resigned to a situation that is bad. They just hope it will not get worse.

First look into the sci-fi action film from the director of 2008 blockbuster 'The Dark Knight' has finally arrived, showing snippets at some of the male characters which include Leonardo DiCaprio's.
Yahoo! Movies has got a hold of the first teaser trailer of Christopher Nolan's "Inception". Debuted over the weekend attached to "Inglourious Basterds", the sneak peek doesn't reveal any sort of a plot. However, it does share glimpses of some male characters, including the one portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, and gives away an evocative tagline "Your mind is the scene of the crime".
This sci-fi action still undergoes its principal photography. Radar Online reported that it is currently being shot in Morocco where DiCaprio gets involved in a fight scene. The site further pointed out that for this movie, the star of "Revolutionary Road" is required to lose more weight. "Leo needs to shed at least 30lbs," so claimed a source from the set.
As for the reason why, the source revealed, "He's gained weight recently and looks almost a bit flabby, which isn't good, especially as the camera adds pounds. There's an action scene coming up at the end of the year in which he needs to appear emaciated, so the pressure is on."
"Leo isn't the kind of guy who can just lose a radical amount of weight though - he gets very nervous about it. He's following a strict diet and is embarking on a rigorous workout regime," the insider added. "He hopes to lose the weight through the old fashioned way of cutting back on calories and upping his exercise. Leo's a pretty determined kind of guy, when he sets his mind to things he always achieves them. Though this is going to be hard for him, you can guarantee he'll succeed."
"Inception" is based on an original script written by Christopher Nolan, the director of "The Dark Knight". It has been described as a "contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind." In addition to the writing and directing part, Nolan carries out the role of co-producer along with Emma Thomas.
Beside DiCaprio, this movie will also see Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy and Tom Berenger in the cast ensemble. Some of the characters' names have been revealed earlier. This movie is expected to hit U.S. theaters July 16, 2010.

We already know that Congresscritters make huge bank through insider trading, exploiting a loophole that lets them place bets on the stock market based on rules they have yet to announce. But this game-rigging con isn't limited to elected officials: a whole class of unregulated beltway insiders make their living by wheedling "political intelligence" (that is, insider information about upcoming regulations and laws) out of politicians and their staff, and then selling it on to consultants who package it up into legal insider trading recommendations for the hyper-rich.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office has released Financial Market Value of Government Information Hinges on Materiality and Timing, a 34-page report on this practice, trying to figure out how pervasive the scam is. They didn't get any great answers:
"The political intelligence industry is flourishing, enriching itself and clients in the stock market, yet the report notes that it could not document who these people are or how much they profit," [Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist for government watchdog Public Citizen] said. "Without full transparency of the activity of these political intelligence consultants and their clients, it is nearly impossible to know if they are trading on illegal insider information."

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Review by Daniel T
"{A true landmark in video gaming history}"
''Punch-Out!! by Nintendo. Eleven world class contenders take 'em down with your controller, beat 'em all and you've got a shot at Tyson's title! But for that you've gotta beat Mike Tyson...Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! from Nintendo, now you're playing with power.'' -1987 Punch-Out!! game commercial
What an understatement indeed. This is quite a powerful game with a very unique feel to it. I first had heard tales of this legendary game from many people on this site, but did not get around to playing it until late last year. On October 4, 2001 I found this game at a local store and bought it on the spot. I was instantly in awe of this game and it captured my imagination like no other game has or ever will for that matter.
Although it is a very inspiring story like that which has already been used in the Rocky movies of the underdog, it is also quite simplistic. Little Mac is a 17 year old boy growing up in Brooklyn, New York. He struggles to find his place in the world, but one day this all changes. He meets with former W.V.B.A. champ Doc Louis. Louis sees the potential in Mac, when, walking down the street he sees Mac fending off two huge bullies. He notices that this small boy possesses true heart and courage, the type that can make a championship boxer. Thus, rather than letting Mac continue on this futile journey of sticking up to low life bullies, he asks him if he would like to use his skills in the ring. Doc teaches Mac all there is to know about the sweet science of boxing and becomes his official trainer. The two begin on a quest for true victory knowing that the road will be long, but they are determined to shake up the boxing world.
Meanwhile, a legend is born in the heavyweight division by the name of Mike Tyson. He follows the dream of his late trainer Cus D'Amato in becoming the youngest ever heavyweight champion in history. A seemingly unmovable force, he knocks all of his competition with bad intentioned right and left uppercuts. He seems unstoppable and destined to destroy Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0. At this time, Little Mac moves up the ranks of the W.V.B.A. becoming minor champion with a startling knockout victory over Piston Honda. He continues to raise to the top in early '87 with a knockout of Bald Bull to earn the major championship. Then on April 1, 1987 he shakes up the W.V.B.A. with a shocking knockout victory of the muscle bound giant Super Macho Man. He is now recognized as the W.V.B.A's undisputed world champion.
Iron Mike is now WBC, WBA champion and gets the opportunity to unify the titles with an August 1, 1987 bout with IBF title holder Tony Tucker. He does just that and becomes the first undisputed heavyweight champion since ''The Greatest'' Muhammad Ali. A few days later he gets a phone call from a person who he perceives to be as an eight year old boy. This boy is Little Mac and he issues a challenge for Tyson's titles. Tyson laughs arrogantly, but accepts the challenge feeling as though he has nothing to lose against some punk kid.
The fight is allowed on the W.V.B.A. grounds and is hyped up as ''The Dream Fight!!'' by Doc Louis. The battle between the two youngest ever champions in their respective divisions is on. Will Mac's dream of becoming the undisputed champion be realized? Can he overcome all odds and dethrone the 31-0 Tyson? It's all up to you!!
This game follows the rules of the amateur level of boxing with one exception. There are 3 rounds in a fight, with 3:00 minutes per round. What is the exception you ask? Well an entire fight only takes place in one confined area. Mac will always have his back near the ropes for the entire fight. This usually gives the edge to the fighter who is away from the ropes in real boxing, however this game does not represent official boxing. Thus, the fights are more exciting, since both fighters must go all out for victory and cannot run or try grabbing the other to waste time like in other boxing games. Also the fact that one cannot pause the game makes the battles much more intense.
Little Mac can win fights in three different ways by KO!, TKO or by decision. However, not all of the opponents can be defeated in some of these ways. Doc Louis provides assistance between rounds, which proves to be very helpful for a person just starting the game. The gameplay is great and addictive overall.
Since Little Mac does not have to move around the ring at all the controls are perfect. Dodging left or right is quite easy it only gets tougher when one must master the quick dodge technique against the tougher opponents. Nothing too complex to learn though. Punching is very easy as well. The start button is used as the powerful star uppercut and it is very easy to execute once Mac has obtained one. Easy and effective controls are always a good sign in determining a great game.
For its time, simply unbelievable! The character sprites are cartoonish because they are meant to be. The special chip that was used to increase the size of Mac's opponents works great. I just love the facial expressions of the fighters as well, it really gives this game a unique touch. I am amazed Nintendo was able to add these features. Also the way each opponent begins the match with their own dance or intimidating factor is also brilliantly done. The colours are very good, except for the scene in which Mac is running in pink sweat gear. What was that all about? The ring looks good and changes from time to time. Mario as the special guest referee works well for this game and he looks the way he should. Excellent!!
The only downside of this game really. The punches sound funny and the barking noise of characters such as Glass Joe, Don Flamenco and Mario are annoying. I do enjoy the strange Soda Popinski, Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman laugh though. The music is great. Each particular tune perfectly matches the action. When Mac is knocked down the music sets the tone of panic, that Mac better get up quick. If an opponent is knocked down the music is more positive and confident oriented. The Punch-Out!! rendition inspired by the Rocky movies is also very good, it has a hero's welcome type of feel to it. Of course my favorite is the music heard when Mac is sitting on his stool and must retire or make a comeback. It has a great beat to it. I liked it so much at one point that whenever I would lose to Tyson, I did not feel bad since that music would follow.
The first half is easy and then your reflexes get put to the test. It will take a lot of practice and determination to defeat Iron Mike especially. Once you crack an opponent's pattern, it becomes very easy. The key is not to be intimidated. The opponents are so much bigger than Mac to prove that very point. If one believes that an opponent like Tyson is unbeatable, he or she will never defeat him.
All the above points make this game a truly enjoyable experience whenever one decides to play. The fighter quotes are fun as some fighters make fun of themselves or Little Mac. I really like the idea of the discussions between rounds. I do not believe any other game used this and it works well. Even Doc Louis joins in and is not embarrassed to put Mac to shame, by telling him to join the Nintendo fun club when he is not performing at his level. Other boxing games used taunting gestures in the actual fights. One game in particular called Greatest Heavyweights for the Sega Genesis system, came the closest to the brilliance of Punch-Out!! with its realist play. This game is still the undisputed champ of fun though.
Beating the game is not enough, not when there are so many other things to achieve. One can try beating every opponent in the first round depending on the type of cartridge they own. There are many things to discover and this raises the replay value to a high level. Even when one has achieved all the goals he or she has set for themselves, they will still notice that it is hard to stay away from this game. I myself officially retired from competitive status on September 1 of this year, but yesterday played for fun beating Tyson in Round 1 four times in fifteen minutes.
This is just one of those games that every gamer should own. I myself first played this game very late(14 years after its release), but even then it is still just as fun as ever. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is the type of game that will always have a lasting place in gaming history. Everyone who has ever played it has never nor will ever forget the memories this game has brought them. It ranks in my book as one of those games that is a landmark in gaming history. The original Legend of Zelda series, the original Super Mario Bros series and Double Dragon are the other landmark games. They have all inspired and set the standard for many of the popular games of today and for that are true classics.
No game has ever inspired me as much as Punch-Out!! It brings out the best in me as I have completely dominated this game in every way in a short period of time. I even made my own game genie codes later which was a gift from God. Mike Tyson's Punch-out!! shall always have a lasting place in my heart. I take my hat off to the greatest game ever made.

C++11 Detection with CMake
Currently when developing C++, I usually target three different compilers: MSVC, GCC and Clang. While all three offer a pretty good support ISO-C++98, things get a little more difficult with the new C++11, as they all implement different subsets of the new features.
While CMake has its disadvantages, I know of no other tool that works as well in situations like this. Unfortunately, CMake does not offer C++11-detection out-of-the-box as of this writing (version 2.8.6). A little search around the web lead to a post on CMake's mailing list by Rolf Eike Beer. I found that script to work quite well for simple feature detection and modified it a little to better match my needs.
You can download my script from here.
Also, here's a quick outline on how it works: Most of this is Rolf Eike Beer's work, I just made a few minor modifications. Most of the code comes from the
CXX11_CHECK_FEATURE macro. In particular, you can add your own feature tests simply by adding another call to that macro. It takes as arguments
FEATURE_NAME– A single-word string identifier for the feature
FEATURE_NUMBER– The number of the proposal paper where the feature was initially specified. This is optional and may just be set to the empty string.
RESULT_VAR– The name of the CMake variable that will be set to indicate whether the feature is present. It is a good idea to chose a name like
HAS_CXX11_FOO, so that you can later set a preprocessor constant of the same name to inform your code of the availability of a feature.
For example, the check for the
auto keyword calls
CXX11_CHECK_FEATURE("auto" 2546 HAS_CXX11_AUTO)
With this, the macro searches for a file c++11-test-auto-N2546.cpp and tries to compile it. Only if the file compiles succesfully and returns 0 upon execution, the feature is marked as supported (when cross-compiling it suffices that the test file compiles, as CMake has no means of executing it).
As an optional, second step, if a file c++11-test-auto-N2546_fail_compile.cpp is found, that file must not compile for the feature to be marked as supported. This is useful for checking things like
static_assert(false), but is not needed in most cases. There was actually a small bug in the original code that messed up handling of the fail case, but that has been corrected (it did not dereference the
RESULT_VAR before assigning).
If all tests pass, the specified
RESULT_VAR is set in CMake and also added to the
CXX11_FEATURE_LIST list variable.
That way you can easily add them as preprocessor definitions by calling something like
foreach(flag ${CXX11_FEATURE_LIST})
set_property(TARGET your_target
APPEND PROPERTY COMPILE_DEFINITIONS ${flag}
in your CMakeLists.txt.
I added a small number of simple test scripts, which I hope are bug-free. I tested them on Clang, GCC and MSVC 10, so they should at least give correct results there. Currently I test for auto, nullptr, lambdas, static_assert, Rvalue references, decltype, the cstdint-header, long long, variadic templates, constexpr, sizeof() of non-static class members and __func__. If you happen to have some more tests, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Would you eat a dead rabbit? Unless it's in my grandmother's special rabbit stew, I wouldn't. But I'll have to add another exception to the list: these gory-looking red and green zombie bunny lollipops from ThinkGeek. They don't look particularly appetizing, but you'll be happy to know that they come in yummy cotton candy flavor and are available in packs of four.

If you don't have your own accommodation search facility on your website, the easiest form of partnership is to set up a white label so your customers can search and book using our technology on your website. Everything is rebranded to look like part of your site using iframes, which take no time to set up.
If you already have an accommodation search facility on your website, or want to develop one, we have a growing collection of APIs to help you integrate with your system and provide a great experience for your users.
Our API allows our data to be accessed by your web server, so for example your website could retrieve the availability for a hotel on a given date and display that on a web page on your site.
Our API is aimed at websites offering multiple hotels, rather than at individual hotel websites which are generally more suited to our White Label iframe due to the amount of time it takes to perform an API integration.
We are currently using two different styles of API. Our legacy API uses XML over HTTP. Our OTA API, which is based on the Online Travel Allicance specifications (www.opentravel.org) uses Soap Messaging. To make things easier, we don't use HTTP Authentication and instead we give you a partner ID and API Key which are passed in the query string with each request. Your system can only access our APIs once we've given you your key, and none of our APIs are open for unauthenticated use.
Our OTA API adheres to the Open Travel Alliance standards for communications. For more information check out http://www.opentravel.org/
OTA API Authentication
This endpoint is used to retrieve information on a vendor's room information.
Specifications and Examples
This endpoint is used to retrieve up-to-date availability and rates for room based on dates and vendors selected
This endpoint is used to send availability for a vendor to our system. We also use the same message structure to push availability to another system when we are given an endpoint.
Vendor: The generic term for a destination, business or service that we take bookings for - for example a B&B, hotel, museum, guided tour etc.
Location: A predefined geographical area at the town, city or county level - for example Bath, Greater LOndon, Isle Of Wight. We define these locations and create new ones from time to time. Vendors can be in one or more location (i.e. Oxford and Oxfordshire). A list of locations can be obtained using our Locations API.
Specifications and examples
This API allows your system to get a list of all the locations we have on our system, optionally
This API is used to get a list of all the vendors that are "Live" in your partner account. Adding or removing vendors is easy via our administration system, and is not currently supported by the API.
Vendors can optionally be filtered by location.
Use this API to get all the available information for an individual vendor, including text, photos, room details, customer comments etc.
Use this API to submit a booking to us once the customer has selected their rooms on your website and are ready to proceed. There are two stages...
1. Submit an HTTP GET request in the background from your server to ours
2. Redirect the customer to the URL given in the XML response to the HTTP GET
This API is needed when integrating with a vendor's in-house booking system or a channel manager. The API allows the underlying availability data for a vendor to be retrieved.
This API is needed when integrating with a vendor's in-house booking system or a channel manager, and bookings are being received from sources other than SpeedyBooker. The API allows the underlying availability data for a vendor to be updated when bookings are received from outside the SpeedyBooker system.
This API specifies the request that our system will send to your endpoint when a reservation was made on a vendor that exists on your system.

But Farion doesn't see what the fuss is about.
"I'm a politician and I have the right to go anywhere where I'm needed. I'm going to Ukrainian children. I'm not interested in Russian children, not German, not Polish. I'm interested in Ukrainian authenticity and Ukrainian identity. And I will defend this Ukrainian identity in all acceptable ways," she said in an interview.
