The cancelled legendary concert (!) due to the gigantic snow in March is now rescheduled!
The first collaboration nights with Verz and ame, inviting incredible duo, Sonic Luz who examines the technology of optosonic synthesizers into the era of DIY, and celebrating new Verz label releases.
Verz Imprint is a Phil S. Maguire's label that curates and supports quiet music and art, founded in 2016 by Phil Maguire. At present, the project consists of a netlabel (verz imprint) and concert series (verznights). The project attempts to explore the what and why of 'quiet' music past and present, and what 'quietness' means in contemporary art(s). The label releases albums of quiet electronics, contemporary composition, and improvisation, and verzcast features interviews with composers, performers, and writers.
The comeback of the optosonic synthesiser. live performance by noid and klaus filip, bringing the technology of optosonic synthesizers into the era of DIY.
Phil Maguire is an experimental musician/improviser/sound artist making reductive music that explores emptiness and malfunction. Simplicity is at the core of his work. He uses cheap electronics, open source software, and obsolete audio equipment to create sparse sonic environments for reflections, both inner (self) and outer (the world). These are often very quiet; very loud; loud made quiet; quiet made loud.
Phil improvises with cheap electronics, using the same emptiness to create charged interactions with other musicians and audiences; solo, and in groups, with musicians including Phil Durrant, Eleanor Cully, and James L. Malone.
Phil runs verz, a label and series presenting quiet music and sound art.

Q: favorite cardview with firebase I am working in some project and I want to set favorite icon to card view and I want to show cardview detail to another activity. I use firebase for set cardview with recyclerview .
I am beginner in android. So I want some help to fix this part.
How can I get detail of cardview when I click on favorite icon and set the cardview detail to another recycler view?!?!?!?!

                    } else {
                        mDatabaseStar.child(post_key1).child(mAuth1.getCurrentUser().getUid()).setValue(post_key1);
                        mProccessStar = false;
                    }
                }
            }
            @Override

            }
        });
    }

I want to copy all this string and show it to another recyclerview , right now i set this string to an recyclerview with cardview.

KPhBVHz4cmukSY...

desc:
"کیف دست دوز"

title: "کیف دست دوز"

A: You can do things with each CardView in the populateViewHolder. In this example:
1) The text is set (setText) for vName and vMessage
2) With getRef(i).getKey() you can get the parent key for the data displayed in the card.
3) An OnClickListener can also be set here on in thing in the CardView or in this case even the CardView itself.
mRecyclerAdapter =
            new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<DataModel, ViewHolder>(
                    DataModel.class,
                    R.layout.item_list,
                    ViewHolder.class,
                    mDatabaseRef
            ) {
                @Override
                protected void populateViewHolder(final ViewHolder viewHolder, final DataModel student, int i) {
                    viewHolder.vName.setText(student.getName());
                    viewHolder.vMessage.setText(student.getMessage());

                    String itemId = getRef(i).getKey();

                    viewHolder.vCard.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(final View v) {
                            aMethodThatDoesSomething();

                        }
                    });
                    DatabaseReference mFavourite= mRef.child("shortlisted_tutors").child(currentUID1).child(otherUserUID);
                        mFavourite.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot){
                                if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
                                    viewHolder.favoriteImageButton.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_bookmarkchecked);

                                }
                                else {
              viewHolder.favoriteImageButton.setImageResource(R.mipmap.ic_shortlistbookmark);

                                }
                            }

                    }
                };

        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mRecyclerAdapter);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(manager);

Three things to note:
1) You will have to define each view (TextView, ImageView and etc) in the ViewHolder Class.
2) To be able to change the favourite ImageView/ImageButton from within addValueEventListener you will have to declare the ViewHolder as final in populateViewHolder
3) Here I just use if dataSnapshot.exists() but you could also request a value and change it based on it. However, dataSnapshot.exists() is quicker and more efficient in most cases.

A: To copy a node do this:
    mRefToCopy = mRef.child("original_data");
    HashMap<String, Object> hashMapContainingCopy = new HashMaTp<>();
    mSubmittedTutorFeedback.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

            hashMapContainingCopy = (HashMap<String, Object>) dataSnapshot.getValue();
        }

        @Override
        public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

        }
    });

Then copy it to the new location:
 mNewLocation.setValue(hashMapContainingCopy, new DatabaseReference.CompletionListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onComplete(DatabaseError databaseError, DatabaseReference reference) {
                            if (databaseError != null) {
                                Log.e("tutor feedback write", "Failed to write message", databaseError.toException());
                            }
                            else {
                                mRefToCopy.removeValue(new DatabaseReference.CompletionListener() {
                                    @Override
                                    public void onComplete(DatabaseError databaseError, DatabaseReference databaseReference) {
                                    }

The last part is if you want to remove the original if the copy happened successfully. Please mark this answer as correct if this is what you were looking for.

A: DatabaseReference newPost = mDatabaseStar.push();
                                newPost.child("title").setValue(model.getTitle());
                                newPost.child("desc").setValue(model.getDesc());

mDatabaseStar.child(post_key1).child(mAuth1.getCurrentUser().getUid()).setValue(newPost);

Who was Franz Kafka?
Posted by historyknowitall on March 20, 2016
Franz Kafka was a writer of novels and short stories born on the 3rd of July into a German speaking family of middle class in Prague, Bohemia. Kafka is now regarded as one of the major figures of 20th century literature, though many of his works were not published until after he died. His notable works include "The metamorphosis", "The judgement", "Contemplation" and more. Franz was the eldest of the six children which included his two brothers who died at birth and his three sisters. His relationship with his father was a troubled one as his father's success had a huge influence on his behavior in the house, and his mother took no real notice of Franz's interests. Kafka started studying chemistry but switched to law after two weeks. This pleased his father as it would give Franz a great opportunity for success. Kafka completed his law degree in 1906 and did a year of unpaid service as a law clerk. After that, he started working for an insurance agency. However, Franz soon left the job as it consisted of tiring hours and left no time for writing, which Kafka was committed to. Kafka then found a job at a worker's insurance agency, which he was very happy with. He stayed there until 1917, when he started having problems with tuberculosis. Kafka dealt with a lot of mental health issues throughout his whole life including anxiety and depression, and it greatly affected his relationships, particularly with women. He had two serious relationships, one with a woman named Felice Bauer, to whom he was engaged twice, though they never married. He also fell in love with a woman named Dora Dymant, with whom he spent the remainder of his years with as she stayed with him through his sickness. Kafka was described to be "tortured by his sexual desires" by his good friend Max Brod, a man he met while studying law and continued to be friends with for the rest of his life. Before dying, Kafka instructed Brod to burn the remainder of his unpublished works, to which Brod refused and had the works published after Kafka's death, which led to Kafka's great success. Kafka died without having any children. However, the literary works he left behind as well as the vision and belief he put into those works went on to inspire many writers and leave him his legacy.

Q: iOS newsstand: push notification does not launch the app in background I'm implementing newsstand features in an application and though the app receives the push notification it does not start in background mode.
If I tap the notification alert the the app starts and I can see "content-available":1 is present in the dictionary and also the issue is downloaded, but the app is not automatically launched.
I've added to the plist:
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
    <string>newsstand-content</string>
</array>

and to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setBool: YES forKey:@"NKDontThrottleNewsstandContentNotifications"]; // for testing purposes
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeNewsstandContentAvailability )];

I also see that my app is not shown under Settings -> Store -> Automatic Downloads (and other magazines appears there).
Am I missing something? Is this supposed to work in sandbox environment?

A: Some clarifications

*

*If you do not send "alert" in your Newsstand payload which has
only content-available:1 in it, nothing will get added in
notification center.

*Newsstand notification launch application does not mean the app will come to foreground (as in if user tapped over app icon). It just mean that if the app is not in background, it will get launched by iOS in background -> didFinishLaunchingWithOptions of appDelegate is called, where app should check if it is a Newsstand notification to schedule the download by adding assets in Newsstand queue. The asset paths can be part of NS payload (provided < payload limit 256 bytes)

NSDictionary *payload = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
if(payload && [[payload objectForKey:kContentAvailablePush] caseInsensitiveCompare:@"1"] == NSOrderedSame)
{
  NSLog(@"Launched due to NS notification");
}

A: You have to register for newsstand notification in order to appear in Settings and receive the "newsstand notifications". To register, add this to your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: :
// Add registration for newsstand notifications
// In your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
  UIRemoteNotificationTypeNewsstandContentAvailability];

The user will be asked to accept background download or not.
Take a look at this really complete tutorial about newsstand apps : http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/17/ios-newsstand-tutorial/

A: Make sure, that UINewsstandApp = YES was set in your plist

A: {"aps": {"badge": 1, "alert": "test","content-available":1}} This is a right payload.
{"aps": {"badge": 1, "alert": "test"},"content-available":1} This is a wrong payload.

A: This is what happens when content-available is in the payload:

*

*If app is Suspended, the system will bring it into Background

*If app was killed by user, nothing happens and app remains in Not Running

There has to be an user action to start the application essentially by adding the alert message into the push notification.

http://samwize.com/2015/08/07/how-to-handle-remote-notification-with-background-mode-enabled/
However this doesn't solve your problem. As workaround you can use the background fetch, which wakes up the application every certain time interval.

Malloy To Seek Another Minimum Wage Hike To $10.10 By 2017
by Christine Stuart February 4, 2014, 12:41 pm January 21, 2021, 5:23 pm
Gov. Dannel Malloy (Christine Stuart photo)
(Updated 4:03 p.m.) Connecticut's minimum wage increased in January and it's scheduled to rise again next year, but Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Tuesday that he will seek yet another minimum wage increase to bring Connecticut up to $10.10 per hour by 2017.
At a Bridgeport press conference two days before his budget address, Malloy announced he would look to pass an increase in the minimum wage this legislative session. The proposal mirrors a similar one embraced by President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress.
"I do not think Connecticut should wait," Malloy said Tuesday. "When it comes to lifting people out of poverty, Connecticut must be a leader as it has always been."
The urgency expressed is new. Two years ago, Malloy tried not to get involved in the debate over the minimum wage and one year ago he was content to let the federal government take the lead.
"I'm not slamming any doors. I'm not saying 'No,' but I'll watch the debate and perhaps reach a conclusion subsequently," Malloy said in 2012 when former House Speaker Chris Donovan made a big push for a minimum wage hike.
In February 2013, Malloy said he favored a national increase in the minimum wage.
"The best way to do this would be to do it on a national basis. It would be the fairest way. It would lift up all of our citizenry," Malloy said.
On Tuesday in Bridgeport, Malloy said the state is seeing an improvement in the economy and corporations are earning "record profits," including those corporations that run retail and food service businesses most impacted by the minimum wage.
He said the goal of his administration when it comes to implementing policies like a minimum wage hike is an attempt to move as many people as possible to the middle class.
Coupled with a $55 tax refund to 2.7 million taxpayers, how is an increase in the minimum wage a political move in an election year?
"What I'm trying to do is the right thing," Malloy said, denying that Tuesday's proposal was motivated by politics.
Malloy has not said whether he will seek re-election. However, an increase in the minimum wage has been a crucial issue for the Working Families Party, which cross-endorsed Malloy in the 2010 election. He won that election by 6,404 votes.
"People vote because of the policies a governor espouses and when the governor espouses support for Bridgeport's second train station, and helping us to find decent housing in inferior public housing settings and the minimum wage," Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch said. "You can't help but be enthusiastic about that."
Finch, a Democrat, said he would like to see Malloy in office for four more years.
House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, said Malloy simply ripped a page out of the Democratic playbook.
"Increasing the minimum wage again — Connecticut just raised it 33 days ago — may test well with people answering poll questions at home but it does not sit right with people who create jobs, namely small business owners," Cafero said Tuesday. "Hiking the minimum wage when businesses continue to struggle to meet payrolls has proven to be a mistake."
Sen. Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, agreed. He said hiking the minimum wage is part of the national Democratic Party's agenda.
"This will hurt small business owners and cost jobs," McKinney said Tuesday.
The National Federation of Independent Business wants to know why Malloy's reasoning on the minimum wage seems to have dramatically changed since last year when he worried openly that a big jump could damage the state's economy.
"We'd like to know what's changed," NFIB State Director Andrew Markowski said. "Last year, the governor warned that a higher minimum wage could damage small business. Now he's calling for a 22 percent increase over the previous level. It's very confusing."
Malloy said he believes Congress should immediately enact a $10.10 minimum wage, but in the event they're not going to do that then Connecticut needs to take action.
It is estimated that there are currently 70,000 to 90,000 Connecticut workers who earn the minimum wage. The governor's proposal means that an employee working 40 hours per week would earn $21,008 per year.
"In this day and age, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty," Malloy said. "When workers earn more money, businesses will have more customers. The modest boost we are helping to bring about in our state will help people make ends meet."
Malloy said he does not support indexing the minimum wage at this point. He said that discussion can happen after the state gets to $10.10.
Malloy's proposal would increase the minimum wage to $9.15 an hour in January 2015. By January 2016, it would increase to $9.60 an hour and by January 2017 it would be $10.10.
Malloy said he called House Speaker Brendan Sharkey and Senate President Donald Williams on Monday to let them know about the proposal.
"This will help tens of thousands struggling working families, and add hundreds of millions of dollars to our economy," Sharkey said in a statement.
"From President Obama to Governor Malloy, momentum is building to address income inequality in this country," Sen. Majority Leader Martin Looney said in a statement. "A low minimum wage forces the government to subsidize the cost of employment while privatizing the profits. As a result, the costs are shifted to government in the form of aid to low-wage workers."

The Walking Dead season 6: Daryl, Rick and Carol get cheeky in first look photo shoot [Spoilers]
By Alicia Adejobi
July 30, 2015 17:19 BST
The Walking Dead will return to screens in October 2015 with season six Kevin Winter/Getty Images
The bromance between best friends Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon is well and truly alive judging by their Entertainment Weekly cover. In addition to the first look of season six, showrunner Scott M Gimple has confirmed which comic book characters will be heading to Alexandria in the upcoming episodes.
In one of the images from the shoot, which was photographed by Dan Winter, survivors Daryl (played by Norman Reedus) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) stand side by side, grabbing each other's bums with mother hen Carol, played by Melissa McBride, in the middle, glancing back towards the camera with a wry smile.
Viewers of AMC's zombie series will be pleased to see the trio back in action and still the best of friends following a tumultuous and testing season five, which saw Rick experience a meltdown, Daryl struggling to adapt to their latest sanctuary and Carol turn increasingly manipulative.
Recalling the bum-grabbing photo, EW's picture editor Michele Romero said: "Reedus and Lincoln gave us something a little extra — taking their bromance to a whole other level. I love this picture because it just happened organically. Everyone needs a cheeky Norman Reedus."

With just two months to go until the season premiere, details about the upcoming season are slowly dripping through and viewers can expect some new faces but familiar characters to arrive in the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Executive producer Gimple has revealed Merritt Wever will be playing Dr Denise Cloyd, a doctor who will become pivotal to the community.
Ethan Embry, most recently seen in Netflix series Grace And Frankie, will also be joining the cast playing Carter, described as "a composite of different people from the original comic". The season six trailer that debuted at Comic-Con shows Carter disturbing the peace at Alexandria, hinting he could become a new problem for Rick and co.

— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) July 30, 2015
Following the season five finale episode in March, IBTimes UK spoke to Lincoln and executive producer Greg Nicotero about what is in store for the exhausted survivors and they warned there will be more of Carol's slightly sinister side coming to play. Lincoln said: "I absolutely love working with Melissa McBride because when you're doing a scene with her, you don't know what she's going to give or how she's going to respond. It's great fun."
Nicotero added: "She does [scare us], it's fascinating. I love the transition when she realises that Pete is abusing Sam and Jessie, I love the transition." The Walking Dead's season six is set to premiere in the US on 11 October while its spin-off series, Fear The Walking Dead, will arrive on 23 August.

Storsund är ett naturreservat och  Natura 2000-område i Gotlands län. som omfattar växtligheten runt sjön Storsund på Gotland.

Storsund är en havsvik, som i historisk tid avsnörts från havet, och till stor del växt igen med ag och vass.

Den före detta viken har ett rikt fågelliv och en artrik orkidéflora. Vid dess södra stränder rastar tranor, brunänder, skedänder, stjärtänder och svarthakedopping.

Vid Storsunds stränder växter sumpnycklar och ängsnycklar. På den lite torrare marken högre upp växer knipprot, nästrot och stora mängder svärdsyssla.

The Witness: A Kitty Genovese Documentary
2016.06.06 General, Videobystander effect, bystander intervention, documentary, Kitty GenoveseJacy Young
The New York Times has just reviewed the newly released documentary The Witness. The film traces the efforts of Bill Genovese – younger brother of Kitty Genovese – to get to the bottom of the infamous death of his sister in 1964. As the Times reports within the documentary
A "Rashomon" emerges: questionable reporting, widely disseminated, based on police claims; an outlandish alternate history that Mr. Moseley, who died this March, sent Mr. Genovese from prison; a neighbor who recalls holding Ms. Genovese in her final moments.
Ultimately, the murder is eclipsed by Mr. Genovese's own struggles — how his obsession exasperates family members, and how the perceived public apathy inspired him to fight in Vietnam, where he lost his legs. A re-creation of the night, with an actress playing the screaming victim while Mr. Genovese observes, is harrowing. You pray he has at last found peace.
Kitty Genovese's Killer Has Died in Prison
2016.04.05 Links, Newsbystander effect, bystander intervention, Kitty Genovese, New York City, New York TimesJacy Young
As The New York Times reports, Winston Mosesley has died in prison at the age of 81. Mosesley infamously raped and murdered Kitty Genovese in New York City in 1964. The story that 38 bystanders stood by and did nothing as Genovese pled for help during the attack inspired the development of the "bystander effect" within psychology, which describes the diffusion of responsibility that occurs when events are witnessed by multiple individuals. That 38 bystanders in Genovese's case witnessed the attack and did not intervene, however, has been discredited. (For more on the Genovese case see here.) The full New York Times piece, which describes the Genovese case and its historical significance, can be read online here.

The killing, and the publicity that followed from it, kicked off a new area of social psychology focused on the intervention (or not) of bystanders to emergency situations. Initial reports were that dozens (most typically, 38) people had watched the 3:00 am attack from their apartment windows, and that no one attempted to help the victim, or even call the police.
The case has been written up this way in many psychology textbooks. Later research, however, revealed that things were not as originally stated in the newspapers of the day. At least one witness did shout at the attacker, driving him off for a time. Others called the police, who were initially unable to find any sign of the crime. The victim staggered away to a secluded stairwell, far from the eyes and ears of potential witnesses, where she was eventually found by the attacker, who resumed his assault, resulting in Ms. Genovese's death.

Malco offers three different models of trim nail punches, depending on your preference, TNP2S, TNP2R, and TNP3S. Each model effectively drives trim nails into soffit, fascia, and other finishing trim without denting or marring material.
The TNP2S, Heavy Duty Trim Nail Punch is the larger of the three models. The all-steel nose and aluminum tail piece directs weight to the working end when grasping or starting a nail. Accommodates up to 1-1/4″ (31.2 mm) standard trim nails. Nose fits into 1/2″ (12.7 mm) J-channel.
The TNP2R, Trim Nail Punch with Retaining Clip, offers easier nailing from any angle or height and has an exclusive, "nail retaining clip" feature. Avoid the awkwardness and strain of balancing nails in the nose of the punch or holding back the drive pin while standing on a ladder or reaching out to nail. The new retaining clip also minimizes scrapes and dents caused by nail slippage or improper setting depth.
The TNP3S, Pocket Sized Trim Nail Punch, is constructed of hardened steel. The tool will hold and install standard 1-1/4" (31.2 mm) trim nails. The small size allows easy access to recesses of formed trim pieces. Hex collar prevents rolling when tool is set down. Corrosion resistant.
Offered in three different types.
Nail retaining clip in TNP2R helps keep nail securely positioned.
The TNP3S is small and compact to help save space in your tool bag.
The TNP2S offers a heavy duty solution when driving trim nails.
Excellent tool and worth every penny.
What a handy tool this is. Many thumbs/fingers saved from smashing when using in tight places. Also sets the nails at a consistent depth repeatedly. Wish I had bought one of these a long time ago.
I like this and it definitely makes it easier to put small nails in areas where I use to hold them with needle nose pliers to get the job done. Should have been magnetized.

Time-varying phenomena are one of the most substantial sources of astrophysical information, and their study has led to many fundamental discoveries in modern astronomy. We have developed an automated tool to search for and analyze variable sources in the near-infrared Ks band using the data from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Large Survey. This process relies on theb characterization of variable sources using different variability indices calculated from time series generated with point-spread function (PSF) photometry of sources under analysis. In particular, we used two main indices, the total amplitude ΔKs and the eta index η, to identify variable sources. Once the variable objects are identified, periods are determined with generalized Lomb–Scargle periodograms and the information potential metric. Variability classes are assigned according to a compromise between comparisons with VVV templates and the period of the variability. The automated tool is applied on VVV tiles d001 and d002 and led to the discovery of 200 variable sources. We detected 70 irregular variable sources and 130 periodic ones. In addition, nine open-cluster candidates projected in the region are analyzed, and the infrared variable candidates found around these clusters are further scrutinized by cross-matching their locations against emission star candidates from VPHAS+ survey Hα color cuts.

The desperate final days of a domestic worker in Lebanon

Beirut, Lebanon – On the morning of March 13, Faustina Tay sent a final desperate message to an activist group she had contacted about the abuse she was suffering at the hands of her Lebanese employers.
"God please help me," the 23-year-old Ghanaian domestic worker wrote.
About 18 hours later, she was found dead.
The Lebanese revolution must abolish the kafala system
Amnesty calls on Lebanon to end 'abusive' sponsorship system
'This Is Lebanon' webpage shames employers accused of maid abuse
Tay's body was discovered in a car park under her employers' fourth-storey home in Beirut's southern suburbs, between 3 and 4am on March 14.
A forensic doctor who examined her body found that her death was caused by a head injury "as a result of falling from a high place and crashing into a solid body".
The doctor found "no marks of physical assault". A search of Tay's employers' home found no signs of a struggle, and the death was being investigated as a suicide, according to a police report.

Hussein Dia, whose home Tay had lived and worked in for 10 months at the time of her death, told Al Jazeera he and his family had been sleeping when she died.
Dia said he did not know what had driven the 23-year-old to take her own life, and denied he ever physically assaulted her – "I never laid a hand on her."
But in the week before her death, Tay sent dozens of texts and more than 40 minutes of voice messages to Canada-based activist group, This Is Lebanon, and her brother in Ghana, providing detailed accounts of recurrent physical abuse.
This Is Lebanon names and shames employers accused of maid abuse online in an attempt to resolve issues facing domestic workers on a case-by-case basis.
Human Rights Watch found in a 2010 report that Lebanon's judiciary fails to hold employers accountable for abuses, while security agencies often do not "adequately investigate claims of violence or abuse".
Tay told the group that Dia and Ali Kamal, the owner of the domestic worker's agency that had brought her to Lebanon, had each beaten her twice between January 16 and March 6.
Kamal had beaten her along with one of his employees, Hussein, she said.
In the messages, Tay repeatedly expressed concerns that speaking about her ordeal could lead to more abuse, and the confiscation of her phone, which she said had taken place once before.
She also feared much worse.
"I'm scared. I'm scared; they might kill me," she said, in a chilling voice note to activists.
'Modern-day slavery'
The manner of Tay's death is not uncommon in Lebanon, a country with about 250,000 domestic workers. Two die each week, according to the country's General Security intelligence agency, with many falling from high buildings during botched escape attempts, or in cases that are ruled suicides.
Domestic workers like Tay are employed under the country's notorious kafala system, which ties their legal residence to their employer, making it very difficult for them to end their contracts.
This sponsorship system, which is in place in several Middle Eastern countries, has facilitated a range of abuse, such as non-payment of wages, a lack of rest time and days off, and physical and sexual assault.
Lebanon's former Labour Minister Camille Abousleiman likened the system to "modern-day slavery," and began a process of reform that is still in its early stages.
Women who come to Lebanon for domestic work from a host of Southeast Asian and African countries such as the Philippines, Nepal and Ethiopia are usually looking to support their families back home and eventually return.
Tay's case sheds light on the type of abuse that ends with many returning to their families in coffins.

PyeongChang: Dialogue on UN75 and support for a more democratic UN
14. Feb 2020 UNPA | UNWCI
Dialogue with UN Under-Secretary-General Fabrizio Hochschild (left) on 9 February 2020 in PyeongChang
A joint message reviewed by participants at the end of this year's PyeongChang Peace Forum in South Korea from 9-11 February 2020 calls for the creation of "meaningful entry points and ownership for civil society in all UN processes", a focal point for civil society within the UN Secretariat as well as consideration of a UN Parliamentary Assembly and a UN World Citizens' Initiative, among other things.
According to the organizers, the three-day conference in the Gangwondo province all in all drew over 4,000 participants from more than 50 countries. In addition to creating peace on the Korean peninsula and in the world, topics included the future of the UN, sports diplomacy and advancing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
A wrap-up session on 11 February 2020 reviewed a joint message of civil society
Dialogue with the special envoy on UN75
At a panel discussion on the occasion of the UN's 75th anniversary this year, the UN Secretary-General's special envoy on the commemorations, Fabrizio Hochschild, noted that it was "a paradox of our time" that countries were retreating from international collaboration "while it is needed more than ever before."
Retreat from multilateralism "a paradox of our time"
In the first of its kind dialogue in Asia on UN75, the Under-Secretary General said that "we have to go back to the first words of the UN's Charter: We the Peoples." He explained that the UN intended to collect feedback on what people think about how to make the UN "fit for purpose" and to present this to the heads of state at a summit meeting in September.
Dialogue with UN Under Secretary-General Fabrizio Hochschild on UN75 on 9 February 2020 in PyeongChang
Giovanna Kuele of the Brazilian think-tank Instituto Igarapé said that "world leaders again and again disappointed us." According to Ben Donaldson of the UN Association of the UK and the Together First campaign, "the paralysis at the top is not the full picture", referring to mass protests around the world. "The UN is massively biased towards governments and this has to change," he noted. In the view of Mandeep Tiwana of CIVICUS, "populist authoritarianism" is currently one of the biggest challenges to multilateralism. Salina Sanou of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance stressed that the debate should focus on what the UN can do "to bridge the gap between citizens and the UN itself." Further she said that she wants "a UN that has teeth and a UN that can bite."
We need a UN that has teeth
In the discussion a participant from the audience remarked that "we have had this kind of dialogue before with the consultations on the Sustainable Development Goals" and he wondered why it was being repeated.
Speaking from the audience, the Executive Director of Democracy Without Borders, Andreas Bummel, called on the panel to say in specific terms what institutional change was recommended and added his own proposals, a UN Parliamentary Assembly for better representation and a UN World Citizens' Initiative for better participation of global citizens.
Supporting this intervention, Mandeep Tiwana said that citizens should be able to bring agenda items directly to the UN and that it should be explored how the UN could include elected representatives. Ben Donaldson called for an "office for civil society" in the UN Secretariat and said that citizens' assemblies might be a good instrument as well.
Panel on the UN2020 campaign
An additional panel on the second day on the topic of UN75 was opened by Jeffrey Huffines of the UN2020 and Together First civil society initiatives with an announcement that an NGO Peoples' Forum would be held in New York on 23 April 2020 in order to discuss joint positions of global civil society that should be presented to the UN. Picking up on the previous dialogue, he remarked that a UN Parliamentary Assembly and a UN World Citizens' Initiative are proposals "we certainly should promote."
An NGO Peoples' Forum on 23 April 2020
Speaking as a panelist, Andreas Bummel stressed that the UN's negotiations on a UN75 summit declaration are supposed to be finished in June and that there was now only a short time window to advocate forward-looking proposals. "We need to reach out to the governments in the capitals right now," he said.
Panel on the UN2020 civil society campaign on 10 February 2020
In the opinion of panelist Roberto Bissio of Social Watch, the UN75 dialogue runs the risk of being a mere "publicity gimmick" at a time when hundreds of human rights defenders were being killed across the world. Levi Bautista of the Conference of NGOs with consultative status at the UN referred to a declaration of his network on UN75 that was already adopted four months ago. Additional panelists included Sow Oumar of Global Call to Action Against Poverty and Fannie Munlin of the Global NGO Executive Committee.
A message from PyeongChang
The outcome message prepared by a drafting committee of the conference's different civil society segments runs over several pages. One of the paragraphs on UN75 says that "We need a strong and effective UN to facilitate the deep global cooperation necessary to achieve the Agenda 2030 and make progress on the wider peace and disarmament agenda. Proponents in favor of a strengthened, transformed multilateral system recognize the 75th anniversary of the UN as an important opportunity to hold governments accountable to the commitments they made to the UN Charter in 1945."
This year's conference followed the inaugural PyeongChang Peace Forum in 2019 that was launched to commemorate and continue the peace spirit of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Keynote speakers included former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and the chair of The Elders, Gro Harlem Brundland.

Many of us have gone on a cruise vacation or know of a close friend or relative who has done so. Cruising is a popular vacation option enjoyed by families and individuals throughout the world. What is not so well known, though, is that man overboard events continue to be a common occurrence within the cruise industry.
Since 2005, 268 man overboard events have been reported. On average, 22 people fall off a cruise ship every year, and 86 percent of those victims do not survive, or are never found.
Man overboard events (MOB) can happen at any time during the day or night, in all types of weather, sea conditions, and from almost any location on the ship, ranging from a few tens of feet above the water, to over 180 feet. Falls from these heights can injure, render unconscious, or even kill the victim. Likewise, falls from ships operating along northern routes can expose the victim to extreme water temperatures, which can result in hypothermia and death.
Given these scenarios, one approach to increasing the survival rate of MOB events is to ensure accurate timely detection, followed by a rapid response protocol. However, few cruise ships in operation today have any form of man overboard detection system. Although they may have cameras and imaging systems to monitor activity on board the ship, these camera systems are primarily used for basic surveillance or evidential activities, and are not designed to actively notify the ship's crew in the instance of a person falling overboard. In most cases, MOB events are reported by someone who happens to notice the fall, or by a member of the person's party who reports the person missing. This information must all be verified by the crew before taking action, which can take a considerable amount of time.
The facts are that the typical stopping distance of a cruise ship is one mile. If it takes 15 minutes to confirm an MOB event, a ship may have moved seven miles from the original fall location and a typical man overboard detection system can report a MOB event in less than one second.
Accurately detecting a human falling from a moving cruise ship is no an easy feat. An object falling from the top level of a large cruise ship can reach speeds of 70 mph. A MOB system must be able to detect objects moving at these speeds, while mounted on the ship itself, which is in a constant state of pitch, roll and yaw. Cruise ships are also very busy environments, with people moving about, blowing debris and a variety of normal operational activities that may involve the movement of items along the side of the ship (ladder deployments, crew boarding, water spray from decks, etc.). Although most cruises tend to target fair weather locations, they still experience all types of weather conditions and sea states. A reliable man overboard detection system must accurately detect human falls in all these situations, while avoiding false alarms and providing the crew with actionable data to react to the situation. Although a challenging problem, numerous companies currently deploy MOB solutions.
PureTech Systems, recently announced the approval of a patent addressing the use of video technology for man overboard detection. Its MOB system captures images using thermal cameras surrounding the ship's perimeter, extending from the lowest passenger deck to the waterline. Thermal video is a logical choice for maritime situations, as it is less susceptible to harsh lighting scenarios, such as sunrise and sunset. It can also provide clear images day or night and in most weather conditions. High resolution thermal sensors can therefore deliver clear visual indications of a human target to the crew for confirmation.
The use of geospatial video further enhances the detection capabilities of this type of MOB solution. Geospatial video is the understanding of where each video pixel resides in "real" space—meaning latitude, longitude and elevation. This adds another dimension to video analysis by allowing the software to not only understand the physical location of the object, but also the real size, speed and acceleration. Therefore, although an object may be falling at the same expected speed of a human, a geospatial video solution can understand that this same object is too big or too small to be a human, and suppress the alarm.
The use of opposing cameras provides a means by which the video analytics can further confirm the event is happening on the ship itself, and is not something occurring in the background, such as on the water, in the sky or on the dock. In addition to actually being detected in both images, a detection occurring between two camera pairs must pass several additional tests for the duration of the fall; including time stamp, object size, object location, object speed, object type and fall trajectory on both cameras within the pair before being considered an alarm. This further ensures that the crew receives minimal false alarms.
In the event of a man overboard situation, accurate detection is only part of the problem. Systems must also provide a high level of situational awareness to help the ship's crew gain a full understanding of the event as quickly as possible. MOB systems deployed with geospatially video analytics have several unique features.
Image data. Humans inherently rely on vision as one of the primary senses; the human mind will rely on its sense of sight as a means to confirm any other data received. Using video analytics for detection means data preferred for validation by a first responder— still images and looping video—is instantly available to reduce the time required to confirm the event. To further ensure rapid verification, video analytic systems highlight the potential target with graphical "bounding boxes" on both still images and full motion video clips in order to quickly communicate what event raised the alarm.
Location data. In addition to logging the GPS location of the ship at the exact time of the event, video solutions leveraging geospatial data also provide insight as to the location the event took place on the vessel itself. Including location information with each alarm allows first responders to more quickly reach the incident location and begin MOB procedures without the loss of valuable time typically required to confirm an event and its point of origin.
Technology providers are not the only institutions taking actions around the need for MOB detection and the deployment of solutions. The United States government identified a need for increased measures to detect MOB situations in 2010 when it released the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act (CVSSA). The act applies to cruise ships carrying more 250 passengers on international voyages in which passengers embark or disembark in any US port. It calls for automatic manoverboard detection/monitoring systems within 18 months of the technology becoming available.
Since the first release of the act, several companies have stepped forward to prove their detection capabilities, prompting the current revision of the act and the development of an international standard for these man-overboard systems by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Various cruise lines are also proactively testing the new technology ahead of the formal release of the ISO standards and the CVSSA requirements to ensure they understand how to most effectively incorporate this technology as an integral part of their safety systems.
While having tremendous potential to cater to the current requirements of the marine industry in detecting, recording and reporting man-overboard events in real time, this technology is directly applicable to the broader safety category of "long fall events." In addition to other maritime industries, including ferry operators, oil platforms, commercial shipping and military vessels, these types of falls can be a safety concern to other nonmaritime industries, such as bridges.
The cruise line industry has recognized the need for man overboard detection systems and many manufacturers have invested research and development to create technology which results in accurate detection and notification, including systems based on the use of geospatial video analytics. These video-based systems monitor thermal images, process them using intelligent video algorithms and combine this data with geospatial techniques. This results in not only highly accurate detection capabilities, but also a complete solution which supplies crew members with critical event location data to reduce the delay between the time of the event and the deployment of rescue procedures.

Stuntman drags Suniel Shetty to court
A city stuntman has accused Suniel Shetty of not paying him nearly Rs one crore and dragged him to the Delhi High Court, which has summoned the Bollywood actor to appear before it on October 19.
PTI | ByHT Correspondent, New Delhi
The summons to Shetty and his film producing firm, Pop Corn Entertainment Pvt Ltd, was issued by High Court's Joint Registrar Girish Kathpalia, who has slated October 19 as the date of the actor's appearance before him either personally or through his counsel. "You are hereby summoned to appear in this court in person or by a pleader duly instructed and able to answer all material questions relating to the suit or who shall be accompanied by some persons able to answer all such questions," said the summons issued to Shetty.
It also directed to file within 30 days "a written statement in your defence and to produce on the said day all documents in your possession." Accepting the court notice, Shetty's counsel Vineet Dhanda said stuntman Puran Chauhan had been making claims based on documents "forged by him". "There are contradictions in the claims of Puran Chauhan, who is physically challenged, as he says something else before the magistrate and something else before the producers' association and totally different in the present matter," the counsel told the court. In his suit for recovery of Rs 97,98,630 from Shetty's company, Chauhan accused the actor of not paying him any money for availing his services during shooting of the movie 'The Little God Father' in 2007.
As per the suit, Shetty's company had decided to make a documentary film to highlight the plight of victims of the Mumbai serial train blasts on July 11, 2006, and the film director had approached Chauhan to be a part of the project. Chauhan said he was also promised a handsome amount for his services and alleged that Shetty failed to pay him as per the offer letter.
In his recovery suit, he also claimed that due to his efforts, the Western and Central Railways had exempted Shetty from paying fees worth Rs 3,94,00,000 for using various railways' sites in Mumbai. But, Shetty instead of him giving him his dues, had gone on to threaten him with dire consequences for demanding the same, Chauhan alleged. "The defendants are under legal obligation and legally liable to pay the amount as per the offer letter along with interest," he said in the suit. Chauhan's another plea accusing Shetty of threatening him was admitted by the Delhi High court in March this year.


After a few months, Macho Meter movie reviews are back! This time I decided to tackle Tom Clancy's cold war gem, The Hunt For Red October.
This film, which can be described as having a very understated end of the world plot, is essentially about how paranoia and misunderstanding can quickly lead to nuclear conflict on the geo-political stage.
It's about that, and well, you know, submarines.
Anyway, thanks for watching brommandos. RoboCop is next!

African Law & Business, a publication of Global Legal Group, has, together with international law firm Hogan Lovells, launched the second edition of its Special Report on Investment in Africa 2018, offering further insight and analysis on the legal framework for investment in 29 African nations.
The second edition of the report, which is available in hard copy and online, expands on the successful inaugural 2017 edition and provides an in-depth review of the legal framework for investment opportunities in 29 African nations, from real estate and employment law to competition, antitrust, and intellectual property laws, as well as focusing on the most important dispute resolution issues that businesses need to be aware of.
Each of the 29 country chapters (an increase from the 23 jurisdictions covered in the 2017 edition) is written by established legal practitioners, giving readers market-by-market insight into the different legal changes facing investors.
The report was authored by a combination of Hogan Lovells lawyers and recognised law firms from across the continent, with the head of the firm's Africa practice, Andrew Skipper, acting as contributing editor, alongside partner Nathan Searle and lawyer Alison Diarra, manager of the firm's Africa Network.
From Hogan Lovells, authors included Alex Bebe Epale, Samaa Haridi, Asmaa Awad-Farid, Tarek Eltumi, Ibrahim Sharif, Warren Beech, and Hedda Schensema, writing on legal developments in Cameroon, Egypt, Libya and South Africa, respectively.
In a statement, Skipper acknowledged what he had seen as "a wave of positive change across the continent, with many leaders proudly declaring their countries [were] open for business", adding that "we could be at a pivotal moment for investment in Africa".
In tandem with this backdrop of change and opportunity, the report aims to inform clients and their legal advisers how to make a difference and reap the benefits of such jurisdictions, enabling the public and private sector in and outside of Africa to be able to take opportunities, using the framework of laws described by the report as a helpful guide.
Other contributors include leading African firms such as John W Ffooks, which has authored a number of chapters on Francophone Africa; AB & David, with chapters on Ghana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, respectively, with Liedekerke Africa, writing, once again, on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mauritius' Jason Harel, partner of BLC Robert & Associates contributed to that country's section.
Other contributors include those from Lusophone jurisdictions, such as Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique, while new jurisdictions covered, other than those mentioned above, include Djibouti, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone.
The report also includes four in-depth sections on finance, natural resources, power and infrastructure, and private equity, as well as additional features written by leading legal journalists, Ben Rigby and Andrew Mizner, on bribery and corruption risk in the context of M&A transactions, arbitration, business and human rights and recent developments in pan-African trade.
The report was launched in London today, 5 July, at Hogan Lovells' fifth Africa Forum, an event with the theme of 'Africa, Fit for the Future' aiming to explore, debate and find solutions that in the long term will make a positive impact in shaping a sustainable and successful future for the continent.
Speakers about current business challenges and opportunities from African business leaders include Enos Banda, the chief executive officer of Anergi Group, Daniel Mckorley, executive chairman and CEO of Ghana's McDan group of companies, and Ibukun Awosika, the chairman of the board of First Bank of Nigeria, alongside many other speakers from Hogan Lovells and associated African business, consultancy and government bodies.
Separately, ALB is pleased to announce that it will be holding its second Africa Summit on 8 November 2018, at the Sofitel St. James, in London.
The summit will offer delegates the ability to learn about the changing political, economic, regulatory and legal landscape that shapes a variety of important regions across Africa. Mindful of the need to manage compliance risks and business disputes, it includes sessions on the need to manage business investigations and anti-corruption avoidance.
Panels will focus on the latest developments in the extractive resources, energy, projects and infrastructure; it will also provide insights on what investors, governments, and lawyers can look forward to in the short, medium and long term.
Firms and organisations represented at the last event included Miyetti Law, HFW, Covington & Burling, Trinity International, the Loan Market Association, Grant Thornton, Berkeley Research Group and Hogan Lovells among other law firms, consultancy firms, banks and companies active on the continent.
Returning speakers for 2018 include John Ffooks, of John W Ffooks & Co, PFI consultant, Alexander Boadi, Nankunda Katangaza of Hook Tangaza, and Wakar Kalhoro of African energy NGO Energy 4 Impact, with further speakers to be announced.

Last week we had the privilege of sponsoring the Go West Conference in Edmonton. The event was impeccably planned and filled up both days with trendy event ideas, educational speakers, cutting edge sponsored networking mini-events, and a hands-on showcase portion unlike any typical trade show.
The 2-day event was a mix of networking events filled with music, stilt-walkers, high-end decor, and food & desserts that made every instagram follower experience major FOMO. The first day was full of speakers ranging in topics from wedding trends to corporate branding, and the second day followed suit with a morning of inspirational talks. After the 'conference' portion of the event was over, attendees were guided to lunch in the tradeshow area where there were booths, workshops, and seminars to keep everyone busy for the remainder of the evening.
Over the course of the 2 days we managed twitter and instagram for @gowestcan and monitored the #gowest2018 hashtag (which became Canada's top 8 trending hashtag for the second day) due to our activity.
We posted 44 images on instagram over the 2 days, which included a custom features post for each of the conference speakers.
We posted and retweeted 218 text, image, and videos on Twitter over the 2 days, which included quoted and direct retweets.
We posted 69 instagram stories over the 2 days, which consisted of videos, boomerangs, and images – all with attendee tags and the event hashtag.
To wrap up the day, Elephant's Remark filled in and lead a group discussion and seminar about the effectiveness of instagram at events, as well as some tips and tools to use to help event planners stay on top of everything (or hire us to help on the day of). It was a 30 minute speed session about effectively promoting your events using this amazing visual platform. During this time we did flatlay samples with our badges and talked about hashtags, filters, and context for them as sample posts.
We had a blast and can't wait to get involved again next year.

Protolabs expands digital manufacturing service with Carbon DLS 3D printing
Anas Essop September 12th 2019 - 11:57am 0 0
On-demand digital manufacturing provider Protolabs has announced the addition of Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) 3D printing platform to its portfolio of production-grade additive manufacturing technologies.
Using the Silicon Valley-based company's DLS process, Protolabs aims to empower its customers to move into the production of functional and detailed parts with increased speed and cost-efficiency.
"We're very excited about the manufacturing options the Carbon technology offers to our customers," commented Vicki Holt, President and CEO at Protolabs. "It provides a cost-effective production solution for geometric complexities that cannot be molded or otherwise fabricated."
"We are committed to maintaining our market leadership in being a single source supplier for on-demand services across a multitude of manufacturing methods, and Carbon will help us do that."

Providing end-use production for Protolabs customers
Headquartered in Maple Plain, Minnesota, Protolabs offers digital manufacturing services from 12 locations around the globe. It proclaims to be one of the largest suppliers of custom 3D printing services in the world, as it produces over 100,000 additively manufactured components each month using six different printing technologies. A 77,000 sq. ft. facility in Raleigh, North Carolina, houses over 100 additive manufacturing systems for services in North America, whereas for Europe 3D printing is handled by two facilities co-located near Munich in Germany. Recently the company launched a production-ready service for metal 3D printing as well.
By expanding its technology portfolio with Carbon's manufacturing platform, Protolabs is responding to the demand for a 3D printing service that allows users to manufacture functional parts, as well as prototypes. "We recognize that market demand for additive manufacturing has moved beyond prototyping and is being leveraged to create fully functional parts at a much larger scale," explained Greg Thompson, Protolabs' global product manager for 3D printing.
"We are committed to supporting that demand in a technology-agnostic manner so that our customers get the best possible parts from the best possible 3D printing technology."
Carbon's 3D printing technology uses Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology and DLS. This process uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and resins to produce high-quality and geometrically complex parts that are difficult to mold. The intricate designs and durability of the components make them suitable for end-use applications. Protolabs is offering the RPU and FPU materials from Carbon, comparable to ABS and polycarbonate, which have consistent mechanical properties akin to injection molding.

I dunno if it's bittersweet, but I have one more year of Carleton to hopefully finish up.
The odd thing about today that it's still snowing. It's suppose to be Spring.
Comics this week, lots of it. Infinite Crisis #6, Planetary #25, and The Exterminators #4. Whoa man, lots of good reads.

A story we are proud to tell:- Sushmeetha Bubna, founder, Voice Vision,awarded Dr.Batra's Positive Health Award 2010
Celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship even under extreme limitations!!
Sushmeetha Bubna was born in a well-educated, business family. She was born with cataract that was detected only at the age of 5. The cataract in her right eye was successfully operated at the age of 7. A self-dissolving capsule, which was placed in the eye after operation caused complications and had to be operated upon again. But this time she suffered a hemorrhage in the eye with retinal detachment and lost vision in the right eye completely. A year and a half later, at 13, she was affected with the retinal detachment in the left eye as well. It was operated upon at Shankara Netralaya and she gained vision and continued her studies, but retinal detachment struck again, when she was in 10th standard. Only a few months from the crucial board exams, she was operated again at Chennai. Her school (Umedbhai Patel English School) principal feared poor performance, because it took 2 months to regain vision after the operation and there wasn't enough time for her to prepare for the exams. With the of a private tutor who would record the lessons on an audio tape and she wrote her exams without vision and cleared the exams. She continued her education and graduated in commerce. But could not fulfill her dream of doing Masters in marketing management, as she was not allowed, due to her vision problem and had to compromise with a Diploma in Administrative Management, from NMIS. Later she enrolled into a rehabilitation course at NAB, Mahalaxmi, where she learnt mobility, Braille, cooking and also vocational trades as Broom making, cycle repairing, agarbati making etc.
1. Please tell us in brief about yourself and Voice Vision
I was an ambitious woman with a graduation in commerce and a post graduate degree in management, a full-time director of a technology providing/driven company with in-depth love for exploring new assistive technology, stemmed with a vision of creating a difference in others' lives with all my run-time knowledge. I wanted to learn to use the computer but was denied admission in one of the leading computer training institutes. Thereafter I found no institute, who could train a visually impaired person like myself. So, I planned to open a computer institute for the visually challenged community. People warned me and said it's impractical. They tried to dissuade me. But the constant source of my inspiration and support, my father encouraged me. He said if I could teach even one student, even then the aim behind this institute will be fulfilled.
On April 3rd, 2000 she held the first class of her institute "Voice Vision".
2. What are the challenges you seem to be facing?
"A wish to serve" is never full-filled without the presence of the infrastructure on one hand, and the 'service seekers on the other. With the help of Voice Vision I could manage to get the infrastructure right over the last 10 years, but the job to bridge the gap between the seekers and the available technology is an on-going challenge. "People should benefit" is my vision, and 'reaching out to 'people is the challenge.
3. How does it feel to be the winner of Dr.Batra's Positive Health Award?
I'm overwhelmed by the recognition, but even more touched by their gesture of reaching out to people who have, and who aspire to bring about a change amidst all adversities. I wish to see and applaud many such awardees in the coming years who have not only left the 'mark in the society, but continue to carry on by inspiring others. On a lighter note after meeting Aishwarya & Abhishek the feeling is something that cannot be justified in words.
4. Do you think an Award like this makes a difference? Has it impacted you in some way?
My identity over the years and in the years to come has/will always be marked by my institute 'Voice Vision'. Awards like these certainly bring the attention of the society towards 'help on hand', through which people can spread the good deed across their surroundings, alongside benefiting themselves.
5. Any message for the others
"The joy of life is in the joy of 'giving'". Try to give whatever you can. It may be a small pat on the back, or a few words of encouragement. Every little thing matters in this world.
Sushmeetha Bubna is an inspiration, through her grit and determination she has turned every challenge into an opportunity. We at YourStory salute her spirit and hope she wins many more laurels in the future.
