I will add mine...
retrograde : Back/Throw
by holding - (in between)
the northeastern - NE
waypoint - WP/P/LL/XY
Nowhere though.

Any idea if the feint bird (looks like a heron / ibis) in the CCC is meant to be a hint or not?

hmmm... the wording/grammar seems off... perhaps should be one of the following:
Launch retrograde held by northeastern waypoint.
Northeastern waypoint holds launch retrograde.

Yeah,
When I write these I generally make several of them and choose whatever I perceive will be the most difficult. Your first recommendation was in my list verbatim. I discarded it because it looked like it would be solved too quickly.
I did an anagram too:
Reverse entry was manipulated.(8)

I was no where near to what your solution was to CCC of the day! 
Didn't knew the word either.

Don't want a long cricket thread (if it gets converted to) but felt like sharing here about a great test match and the series that came to an end.
India loosing the first test (with one of the innings being 36 all out) to India winning the series scoring 300 odd runs chasing in final test. Simple awesome!
Great game of cricket!

I was never a great cricket fan, but watching a few matches last summer I realised how exciting it can be. Well done India (I have to support my country of birth).

Bowling was qualified with celebrity, so does that mean you enjoy the professional version?

Actually, it's my adorable sense of humor - throwing that particular version into the same list as the others - as a loosely veiled further comment.

yes, congrats on that .. And the Indian Cricket Team (well, Ajinkya Rahane) presented Nathan Lyons with a signed jersey for his 100th test - gentlemen

It was fantastic Sandeep.
I loved it.
It was one of the best tests ever.
So exciting.
Being an Aussie I wasn't barracking for India.
But when they performed in the last test I thought like you "Simply awesome".
Yes a great game of cricket.
Congrats on the win.
So good to see India do so well without Kolhi and with all the new youth in the team.
I loved it like you.

Tried using a GIT commit at the end of a long running TeamCity build step and got into problems when someone committed in the meantime, GIT update would not work for some dark reason.
Asking for help on the TeamCity forum did not help.
Also one branch refused to build at all, it did not check-out.
Time passed, and lo-and-behold, after a TeamCity update I saw an option 'Use Git mirror', turned it off and hey presto problem solved!

That we have a committee that has the power to say, that the government should ask for the committee's permission to apply the vaccine on us, as it is actually a human research...
I think the committee is not hole, we need to assign some policemen to let the committee actually confiscate the vaccine to stop this crime...

Agreed. Everyone should be required fill out an informed-consent form of at least 100 pages (hard copy, in triplicate, no carbon paper allowed!) before receiving the vaccine.
/s
Now seriously.
- The vaccines are given with a proper purpose - the prevention of a deadly (~0.8% fatalities over the entire population) disease
- The vaccines were tested using standard protocols, and shown to be safe in the short run (a few months)
- From other vaccines, we know that the overwhelming majority of side-effects of occur in the first hours/days, with vanishingly few effects lasting beyond a month
- (3) appears to be the case also for these vaccines
- All of this information has been provided in all media - print newspapers, radio, TV, internet, ...
In other words, the vaccines appear to be just as safe as the flu vaccines which many of us get every year. Is Helsinki Committee approval required for those, as well?

Although I developed some certain skepticism for some vaccines that the government has pushed (or been lobbied to be pushed, like HPV), I take a quite different view about life-saving vaccines.
Key word: life saving. Certain maladies have all but totally disappeared from live experience (and memory): typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria, and smallpox, to name a few. My sleeve is rolled up.
COVID: I didn't want to be at the front of the line but this past weekend I managed to schedule appointments for Mrs & Myself. I'd have liked them a month earlier than we are scheduled but you take what you get.
Pretty much everything you do in the health field is a gamble. Sometimes the chances of it going wrong are insignificant. Other times there's a bit of a roll of the dice. You are sort of obligated to use your brain (aside for keeping one's ears apart) and make an intelligent choice.
0.8% mortality rate . . . that's overall. At one end, it's far lower (very young children) but at the other end, it's freakin' scary. I'm in a 5x greater risk group. What a fool I'd be to risk a 1 in 20 chance of dying (and much higher chance of lingering effects) when I could prevent it with what appears to be extremely low risk of mortality and very low risk of side effects by the vaccine.
I, personally, choose to spend my paranoia wisely - by living long enough to do so.

Nicely expressed
I have tried to contact the authorities too... pretty much impossible for me to get in the line this year.
My wife is working in health system and was not even asked yet.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In that case, stay off the road.
