When summer rolls around, most kids are headed to camp or the beach.
But Girls with Impact–teen girls ages 14 to 18–are becoming CEOs, and they're doing it from the beach, train, bedroom … wherever they are.
They're learning how to build businesses and more. In fact, these girls have seen a 140 percent increase in confidence leading teams and 90 percent say they're better able to differentiate themselves in college.
The live, digital delivery of this "mini-MBA" also enables girls to develop a powerful network while getting a huge leg-up in college and career. And this matters: 6 in 10 women don't see themselves as leaders, according to KPMG Women's Leadership Study, and young people lack networks needed for job success, says the OECD.
Just this past week, 25 Girls with Impact Academy graduates unveiled their business ventures, ranging from Countless Cares for Cambodia, inspired by the death of relatives; to Cleo, an app to find and secure makeup experts on-demand.
The organization celebrated its success by kicking off application season for its Summer Intensive, a six-week program to turn Summer into career and college prep success. So far, girls from 30 schools in five states have participated.
Renata Ponchitesta, 17, is working on Hunger Bar, an app to better facilitate food donations and support such local organizations as Neighbor to Neighbor.
Cathy Senyonjo, 16, is working on Plait Please, a device to facilitate braiding of black hair given the "four to six hours" it takes, while Kellie Taylor, 17, is building Cleo, an Uber-like app to find makeup help in your area.
Jennifer Openshaw with 14-year-old Megan Ardiles, whose venture Save & Gain ensures young people build good financial habits.
The "mini-MBA" guides teens from idea to a business plan and prepares them to launch a real business, nonprofit, or community project while giving them a leg-up in college prep and career.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 30, 2015) - During Q3 2015, due to the continued low nickel price, Asian Mineral Resources ("AMR" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ASN), through its wholly owned subsidiary Ban Phuc Nickel Mines ("BPNM") has further focused its efforts on cost reductions and deleveraging of the business in order to ensure sustainable operations in the low nickel price environment. As a part of this initiative, and due to strong operating results over the previous quarters, during Q3 2015, BPNM paid down US$14.7 million in debt, including fully repaying the outstanding term loan facility.
Subsequently, an unexpected delay in BPNM's nickel concentrate shipping schedule to Tianjin port, coupled with a further decline in the nickel price, has resulted in a temporary tightness in working capital in the business. Pala Investments ("Pala"), AMR's majority shareholder, has agreed to make available a short-term bridging facility to AMR in amount of US$2.1 million, which has been approved by the independent directors of the Company. Drawdown on the facility is subject to certain customary conditions precedent. The facility is at market terms and is expected to be repaid within two months of drawdown.
AMR is working with its offtake partner to normalize the shipping schedule going forward and is expected to return to its regular shipping schedule over the next month.
Evan Spencer, AMR's CEO commented: "The support from Pala has been invaluable through this period and the provision on this facility continues to highlight Pala's commitment to AMR and its Ban Phuc operations."
AMR is one of the few new sources of nickel sulphide supply globally. AMR commenced commercial production from its Ban Phuc nickel project in Vietnam in mid-2013. The Ban Phuc Nickel Mine currently produces over 6,900 tonnes of nickel and 3,500 tonnes of copper per annum contained in concentrate, plus a cobalt by-product.
This press release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements." All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, including without limitation, statements regarding completion of the project, the commencement of production, the ability to pay outstanding debt, the ability to mine, sell and ship products, and the achievement of expected benefits, potential mineralization and reserve and resource estimates, exploration results and future plans and objectives of AMR are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of AMR to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from AMR's expectations are disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" in AMR's Annual Information Form, and elsewhere in AMR's documents filed from time-to-time with the TSX Venture Exchange and other regulatory authorities. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including: that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes; that on-going contractual negotiations will be successful and progress and/or be completed in a timely manner; that application for permits and licences will be granted/obtained in a timely manner; that no unusual geological or technical problems occur; that plant and equipment work as anticipated and that there is no material adverse change in the price of nickel. Although AMR has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this press release. AMR disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Showing a greater Genesis influence than previous Anyone's Daughter albums, this should have been a return to the high standards of their debut, Adonis, after the rather middling self- titled album. However, the flow of the album is ruined by the narration, which pops in periodically and severely disrupts the flow of the album. The narration is in German, but like Mellotron Storm I'd find it just as disruptive if it were in English; it's delivered in a calm monotone which is persistent enough to make it impossible to ignore. And unfortunately, because of the way the tracks flow together I've found it impossible to program a playlist which skips the tracks with narration without causing jarring discontinuities in the music. In short, this is an album which had potential but has severe issues with its implementation.

Policeman killed in jihadist-torn Mali
A policeman died and three others were wounded Monday in the latest in a string of attacks in a jihadist-hit region of Mali, a senior official said.
A gendarmerie post at Sebekoro in the Kita region, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) from the capital Bamako, came under attack at around 2 a.m., local prefect Djiby Diawara told AFP.
"The toll -- one gendarme killed, three wounded, one of them seriously, who was taken to the military clinic in Kati," he said.
"We are preparing to bury the young gendarme who was killed," he said.
The attack is the third to have occurred close to Bamako in the past week.
The two previous assaults, which killed two firefighters and three civilians, were claimed by the Support Group for Islam and Muslims (GSIM), led by an Al-Qaeda-linked Tuareg, Iyad Ag Ghali.

Q: How to merge two functions with same conditions? I quickly wrote the below class for this question.
I'm looking for a way to merge addFruit() with removeFruit() to reduce the code.
They both use identical conditions but just different function call at the end.
My Code :
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        if (str == "apples")
            addToVec(apples, count);
        else if (str == "oranges")
            addToVec(oranges, count);
        else if (str == "lemons")
            addToVec(lemons, count);
        else if (str == "melons")
            addToVec(melons, count);
        else if (str == "bananas")
            addToVec(bananas, count);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        if (str == "apples")
            removeFromVec(apples);
        else if (str == "oranges")
            removeFromVec(oranges);
        else if (str == "lemons")
            removeFromVec(lemons);
        else if (str == "melons")
            removeFromVec(melons);
        else if (str == "bananas")
            removeFromVec(bananas);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
private:
    void addToVec(std::vector<int> &vec, int count)
    {
        vec.push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFromVec(std::vector<int> &vec)
    {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
};

Any clever way to nicely merge the two functions so I can reduce the code?

A: Make an additional function e.g. determineTargetVector(const std::string &str) which returns the corresponding vector, where you want to insert/remove an element, so you have no redundant conditions. Also its nice to have only a single reponsibility for each function.
For example:
std::vector<int> *determineTargetVector(const std::string &str)
{
    if (str == "apples")
        return &apples;
    else if (str == "oranges")
        return &oranges;
    else if (str == "lemons")
        .
        .
        .
    else
        //something invalid, to check for in superior function
        return nullptr;
}

A: The easiest solution might be to use a std::map for those vectors:
std::map<std::string,std::vector<int>> fruitVecs;

The key values of the map would be "apples", "oranges", "bananas" etc.
Thus you can easily access the corresponding vector for any operation through the map.

A: A code that selects the vector to be used and then perform the action can be used :
class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        auto vec = selectVector(str);
        if(vec != nullptr)
            addToVec(*vec, count);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        auto vec = selectVector(str);
        if(vec != nullptr)
            removeFromVec(*vec);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
private:

    std::vector<int> *selectVector(const std::string &str)
    {
        if (str == "apples")
            return &apples;
        else if (str == "oranges")
            return &oranges;
        else if (str == "lemons")
            return &lemons;
        else if (str == "melons")
            return &melons;
        else if (str == "bananas")
            return &bananas;
        else
            return nullptr;
    }

    void addToVec(std::vector<int> &vec, int count)
    {
        vec.push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFromVec(std::vector<int> &vec)
    {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
};

A: What about below solution. That will also allow you add/remove known fruits easily by adding/removing line in constructor.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <map>

class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass()
    {
        allowedFruits["apples"] = {};
        allowedFruits["oranges"] = {};
        allowedFruits["lemons"] = {};
        allowedFruits["melons"] = {};
        allowedFruits["bananas"] = {};
    }
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        auto it = allowedFruits.find(str);
        if(it != MyClass::allowedFruits.end()){
            it->second.push_back(count);
        }
        else {
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
        }
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        auto it = allowedFruits.find(str);
        if(it != allowedFruits.end()){
            // my be some check here
            it->second.pop_back();
        }
        else {
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
        }
    }
private:
    std::map<std::string,std::vector<int>> allowedFruits;
};

A: Without changing the interface you could do it like this:
std::vector<int>& pickVector(std::string str) {
    // put all the switch here and return a reference to the correct vector
}

void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
{
   addToVec(pickVector(str),count);
}

A: I would go a little functionnal by passing the function to apply.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <functional>

class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        searchAndApplyHelper(str, std::bind(&MyClass::addToVec, *this, std::placeholders::_1, count));
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        searchAndApplyHelper(str, std::bind(&MyClass::removeFromVec, *this, std::placeholders::_1));
    }

private:

    template <class Func>
    void searchAndApplyHelper(const std::string str, Func f)
    {
        if (str == "apples")
            f(apples);
        else if (str == "oranges")
            f(oranges);
        else if (str == "lemons")
            f(lemons);
        else if (str == "melons")
            f(melons);
        else if (str == "bananas")
            f(bananas);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }

    void addToVec(std::vector<int> &vec, int count)
    {
        vec.push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFromVec(std::vector<int> &vec)
    {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
};

I did it with a template but you could use std::function as well.

A: I would do this:
class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        doToFruit(str, [&](std::vector<int> &vec){ addToVec(vec, count); });
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        doToFruit(str, [&](std::vector<int> &vec){ removeFromVec(vec); });
    }
private:
    template<typename Callable>
    void doToFruit(const std::string &str, const Callable &func)
    {
        std::pair<const char*, std::vector<int>&> fruits[] = {
            {"apple", apples}, {"oranges", oranges}, {"lemons", lemons},
            {"melons", melons}, {"bananas", bananas}
        };
        for (auto i : fruits)
            if (str == i.first)
                return func(i.second);
        std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
    void addToVec(std::vector<int> &vec, int count)
    {
        vec.push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFromVec(std::vector<int> &vec)
    {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
};

You can use pointer to members if you want better performance:
class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        doToFruit(str, [&](std::vector<int> &vec){ addToVec(vec, count); });
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        doToFruit(str, [&](std::vector<int> &vec){ removeFromVec(vec); });
    }
private:
    template<typename Callable>
    void doToFruit(const std::string &str, const Callable &func)
    {
        auto iFound = fruits.find(str);
        if (iFound != fruits.end())
            return func(this->*(iFound->second));
        std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }
    void addToVec(std::vector<int> &vec, int count)
    {
        vec.push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFromVec(std::vector<int> &vec)
    {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
    static std::unordered_map<std::string, std::vector<int> MyClass::*> fruits;
};

std::unordered_map<std::string, std::vector<int> MyClass::*> MyClass::fruits = {
    {"apple", &MyClass::apples}, {"oranges", &MyClass::oranges},
    {"lemons", &MyClass::lemons}, {"melons", &MyClass::melons},
    {"bananas", &MyClass::bananas}
};

A: Using C++17 you could use optional arguments:
void addRemoveFruit(const std::string &str, std::optional<int> count = std::nullopt)
{
    if (str == "apples")
        addRemoveVec(apples, count);
    else if (str == "oranges")
        addRemoveVec(oranges, count);
    else if (str == "lemons")
        addRemoveVec(lemons, count);
    else if (str == "melons")
        addRemoveVec(melons, count);
    else if (str == "bananas")
        addRemoveVec(bananas, count);
    else
        std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
}

and:
void addRemoveVec(std::vector<int> &vec, std::optional<int> count = std::nullopt)
{
    if(count.has_value()) {
        vec.push_back(count.value());
    } else {
        vec.pop_back();
    }
}

This way existing calls to addFruit/removeFruit only need to be changed to addRemoveFruit without having to change the parameters passed.

A: To stick with your pattern of multiple distinct vectors, I'd recommend using an internal enum that decides the method, while the choice of the vector can be done in one place:
class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        addOrRemoveFruit(str, count, Method::ADD);
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        addOrRemoveFruit(str, 0, Method::REMOVE);
    }

private:
    enum class Method
    {
        ADD,
        REMOVE
    };

    void addOrRemoveFruit(const std::string &str, int count, Method method)
    {
        if (str == "apples")
            addOrRemoveFruitImpl(apples, count, method);
        else if (str == "oranges")
            addOrRemoveFruitImpl(oranges, count, method);
        else if (str == "lemons")
            addOrRemoveFruitImpl(lemons, count, method);
        else if (str == "melons")
            addOrRemoveFruitImpl(melons, count, method);
        else if (str == "bananas")
            addOrRemoveFruitImpl(bananas, count, method);
        else
            std::cout << "Unknown Fruit : " << str << '\n';
    }

    void addOrRemoveFruitImpl(std::vector<int> &vec, int count, Method method)
    {
        if (method == Method::ADD)
             vec.push_back(count);
        else
             vec.pop_back();
    }

    std::vector<int> apples;
    std::vector<int> oranges;
    std::vector<int> lemons;
    std::vector<int> melons;
    std::vector<int> bananas;
};

However even better would be to use a map:
class MyClass
{
public:
    void addFruit(const std::string &str, int count)
    {
        fruits[str].push_back(count);
    }
    void removeFruit(const std::string &str)
    {
        if (fruits.count(str) > 0)
            fruits[str].pop_back();
    }

private:
    std::unordered_map<std::string, std::vector<int>> fruits;
};

Deep sea treasure hunters have located two potentially valuable wrecks lying off the west coast of Ireland, opening the way for a legal battle over who owns treasure deposited on the seabed in International waters. Shipwreck Company Odyssey Marine has filled claims on two wreck sites found after months of scouring the seabed in and around the English Channel with what it said was advanced new search equipment. The sites lie under between 400 and 600 meters of water about 100 miles to the west of Dingle, Co Kerry. The Florida-based company said the sites, which are 37 miles apart, appeared to contain the remains of steel-hulled vessels.

Australia's outback Simpson Desert will be closed for the first time this summer to prevent visitors from dying in the extreme heat, officials said. The Simpson Desert Conservation Park and Regional Reserve in South Australia will be off limits from December 1 to March 15 each year, beginning next month, the South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage said. Temperatures in the Simpson Desert during summer are extreme, with daytime temperatures of between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius common. An official of the department, Trevor Naismith, said: "Most People that cross the desert during summer are from overseas, and many do not have the driving experience for such a crossing, or a properly equipped vehicle with radio communications and recovery gear in case of an emergency." He said that during summer sand dunes were soft and constantly changing shapes, increasing the chance of vehicle becoming bogged down, while there was a greater risk of vehicle breakdown during the hotter months. "At a time when there are very few vehicles in the desert to provide assistance in a timely manner, this is potentially a fatal situation, especially for the inexperienced, ill-prepared visitor", he said.

Q: Reading HFS+ Journaled filesystem in Ubuntu 17.10 Disks recognizes the device is available but reports the partition as unused (does not recognized HFS+ file system). When I try to mount the drive, Ubuntu wanders off into limbo reporting nothing. When I try fsck.hfsplus, again Ubuntu wanders off into limbo without reporting anything. After 20 minutes I gave up and closed the console window.
I only tried hfsplus after I fount out that the Paragon Software driver I paid for never worked with the actual release (they only used an alpha test released and never updated after the actual release).
I only want to salvage my data. I am in the process of coping all my data to NTFS. I was using Windows but the latest Paragon Software put Windows into total meltdown. I cannot even reinstall Windows.
HELP.

Q: Change default UIDatePicker and enable it to accept 00 as day and month. like this 00-00-YYYY I wanted to change my default UIDatePicker functionality and want to enable it to accept 00 as a valid day and month like this 00-00-YYYY. Please view the attached image to see current implementation. Is it possible? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

A: You should create your own data set and use a UIPickerView to display the values. Trying to bend the date picker into doing something nonstandard like that could create a lot of side-effects and also break in future releases. Creating your own picker items is a much safer and cleaner way!

It's Your Plane – Compleet herschreven (v4.1.0)
By Rob-PA7RM	 7 februari 2009 Geen reacties
Klik op 'Meer lezen…' voor het nieuwe persbericht over de software "It's Your Plane". De actuele versie zit nu op v4.1.0. Robert Cezar, de maker van dit software, zit bepaald niet stil en luisterd goed naar zijn klanten. Derhalve al weer een vernieuwde versie met vele mogelijkheden.
IYP Version 4.1.0 – A Complete rewrite
It's Your Plane announces the release of IYP Version 4.1 – a complete rewrite designed to be able to more easily incorporate the many new aircraft designs that IYP users have been requesting. Version 4.1.0 also includes the following new and upgraded features.
New and Upgraded IYP Features:
New and Interactive Pushback – The First Officer now calls ground operations to execute perfect and accident free pushbacks. . . it is 'virtual reality' at its best!
More Natural Taxiing speed – When making a turn while taxiing, the co-pilot slows the aircraft speed, as one would normally do with a real aircraft.
ICAO Code – When creating a flight and doing the checklists, the co-pilot may prompt the Captain for the ICAO code for the destination airport.
ACARS – When you say, "Start ACARS logging." your co-pilot will prompt you for the departure airport details and the PLANNED CRUISE LEVEL, for more details click here.
Destination Prompts – If you just jumped into your plane and took off without defining your destination or giving the details to your co-pilot, and at any time during the flight you refer to your destination, she or he will ask you for the destination airport details.
Waypoint Information – When passing over a waypoint, the co-pilot calls out the information. e.g. "passing over Hotel Unicorn Hotel (HUH)." Shortly after passing each waypoint, the co-pilot calls out the next waypoint and the distance to it. e.g. "Next waypoint, Charlie Yankee Delta, distance 72 miles."
Destination Distance and Direction – When the aircraft is at or within 25 miles of the destination airport, the co-pilot reports the distance and direction of the airport. e.g. "25 miles, 11 o'clock." The co-pilot continues to call out the distance and direction at various distances all the way in to the destination airport. e.g. 22, 20, 18, 15, miles, etc.
Speed Control – Speed control of GA and Turbo-prop aircraft (aircraft that don't have a natural throttle control) has been dramatically improved.
Altitude and Rate of Climb – specifically to help blind and visually impaired IYP users – At 500 feet AGL, 1000 feet AGL, and every 1000 feet thereafter, the co-pilot calls out the altitude and vertical rate of climb. e.g. 1000, rate 1800.
IYP has a new built-in flight training facility with an interactive "live" co-pilot who can be asked to walk you through any or all the IYP checklists from Pre-flight to Shutdown, in both GA (General Aviation) and Jetliners.

Grayscale's flagship product GBTC has registered a record discount.
At last week's end, the price of one GBTC share was $34.42, which is 21.3% lower than its underlying value.
The increasing discount on GBTC may hint at weakening institutional interest in the asset class.
As of last week's closing price, Grayscale's GBTC traded at a 21.3% discount to its underlying value.
GBTC Hits Record Discount
Grayscale's flagship product has registered a record discount.
GBTC's last recorded price is 21.3% lower than the underlying price of Bitcoin held against it. According to Grayscale data, as of Dec. 17, 2021, the price of one GBTC share was $34.42, whereas its net asset value was 0.00093 BTC, the equivalent of roughly $43.77. GBTC previously traded at a discount of over 20% in May, but the 21.3% markdown is a record low.
Grayscale's GBTC product lets investors gain exposure to Bitcoin through a private trust fund. Launched in September 2013, it holds $30.3 billion in assets under management and issues regulated shares tracking Bitcoin's price.
Due to the way GBTC is structured, its shares often trade at a premium or discount. However, the current discount of 21.3% is the largest in GBTC's eight-year history. The discrepancy in the underlying value and market price of GBTC is a useful indicator of institutional sentiment surrounding the top crypto asset.
The increasing discount on GBTC could potentially hint at weakening institutional interest in the asset class. The record low comes as Bitcoin has struggled to maintain strength in the market. It's currently trading at roughly $46,000, down roughly 33% from its Nov. 10 all-time high price of $69,044.

While GBTC has long been a critical investment vehicle in the crypto space, the product has several drawbacks, including a six-month lockup period and an annual management fee of 2%. Some recently-launched Bitcoin futures ETF products offer institutional investors opportunities to invest without facing a lockup period at a smaller fee. For instance, ProShares, which recently launched the first Bitcoin futures ETF in the U.S., charges a fee of only 0.95% annually.
In the face of increasing competition from ETFs, Grayscale has applied to convert GBTC to a spot ETF with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Grayscale is hoping that by moving to an ETF product, it would be able to offer better pricing by eliminating the discrepancies seen between GBTC and Bitcoin's spot value.
If approved, Grayscale's proposed fund could become the first spot Bitcoin ETF to hit the U.S. stock market. However, there's a reasonable chance that the SEC will block Grayscale from making the switch anytime soon. SEC Chair Gary Gensler has stated on multiple occasions that the agency is not in favor of a spot Bitcoin ETF product.
