Q: How to make dependent fetch API calls in Next.js Im beginner and trying to better understand API calls.
I want to make a call to a bible api that retrieves all books.
I then need to make a call to the same api with the book # to retrieve all chapters for requested book.
I then want to display a list of the books along with the chapters.
To this I made a utility function that loops through the books and returns the chapters. This is where it breaks.
I was able to retrieve the books and display them. But I am stuck as to how the make the second API call. I keep getting an error that I cannot serialize object Promise.
Also what is the best way to console log here in Next? Im not sure how to go about seeing what its being returned.
Here is what I have so far:
export default function Home(props) {
  console.log(props);
  return (

{/** display books & chapters */}

  );
}

export async function getStaticProps() {
  // get all books
  const reqBooks = await fetch(`https://getbible.net/v1/web/books.json`);
  const resBooks = await reqBooks.json();
  // convert to array of objs
  const books = await Object.entries(resBooks);

  const chapters = await getChapters(books);

  return {
    props: {
      books,
      chapters,
    },
  };
}

// utility... loop through books and make api calls to get chapters for each book
async function getChapters(books) {
  const chaptersArr = [];

  books.map((item, idx) => {
    //
    let url = item[1].url;
    let bookChapters = fetch(url).then(response => response.json().then(data => data));
    arr.push(bookChapters);
  });
  return chaptersArr;
}

A: The problem is that you're pushing promises into an array, not the values inside the promises. Instead of using that array, you can return in the map directly, and use Promise.all to get the values out. (You could use the array too, but there's no need for it since you're using a map). I lifted the getBooks call into its own function for clarity here, but the important change is what's going on in getChapters in the map:
async function getBooks () {
  const res = await fetch('https://getbible.net/v1/web/books.json')
  const json = await res.json()
  return Object.entries(json)
}

async function getChapters (books) {
  const chapters = await Promise.all(
    books.map(async (item) => {
      const url = item[1].url
      const res = await fetch(url)
      const json = await res.json()
      return json
    })
  )

  return chapters
}

export async function getStaticProps() {
  const books = await getBooks()
  const chapters = await getChapters(books)

  return {
    props: {
      books,
      chapters,
    },
  }
}

You can test this in plain Node (assuming node-fetch or a similar package) or the browser outside of Next with something like:
getStaticProps().then(data => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))
})

Q: Download JRE 8 but version still says 1.7.0_95 I need JRE 8 so I can utilize- javaFX, but when I check my "java -version" on MobaXterm it still says 1.7.0_95. Is there another step I need to do besides downloading it from Oracle?

A: You probably need to update the PATH environment variable.  That will determines what binary gets executed when you run java from a command prompt / shell.
It might even be that you >>just<< need to restart your command shell.

Hello and thank you very much for your time. I am seeking a definition of the radical pamphlet. My research has identified the following topic or subject areas affiliated with the radical pamphlet: socialism and socialist theory and practice, critiques of capitalism, war and peace, labor movements and the role of unions, international communism.
Might you be able to offer a succinct definition or definitions, or suggestions of resources for further research toward a working definition of the radical pamphlet.
In seeking a working definition for the term radical pamphlet, I would suggest beginning with defiinitions of the two components of the phrase. Pamphlet may be the simpler of the two to define - according to a few dictionaries at hand, a pamphlet is generally a short printed work not bound into a cover, though it could be stitched or stapled. Pamphlets are typically single items or parts of a limited series, rather than ongoing publications such as magazines. They would usually have a single subject focus and/or advocate for a particular point of view, rather than being a creative expression of an individual "as an individual" (what we would now call a zine).
Radical, on the other hand, is a fairly slippery term. Derived from the Latin radix, or radicis, meaning root, in math and science contexts it referrs to the root or foundation - getting to the bottom of things, so to speak. In the social/political realm, which is the usage to which your question refers, it has taken on the meaning of "one who carries his theories or convictions to their furthest application; an extermist." (Funk & Wagnell's New International Dictionary) In a way this seems a contrast to the root meaning. The concept seems to be that in getting to the root of social/political issues, one comes to conclusions and courses of action that are outside the "mainstream" status quo.
As you work on your working definition and your subject areas, you might want to consider that there are "radicals" of many persuasions. The terms you list all seem to come from what (for lack of more precise terms) would be termed left politics. You will also find many pamphlets produced by radicals from the right. Consider for example the right-libertarian John Birch Society, a group that produced a great many pamphlets (see this collection inventory at PublicEye.org for a list of some titles).

"A nonserial publication consisting of at least 5 but no more than 48 pages exclusive of covers, stapled or sewn but not bound, usually enclosed in covers of the same paper as the text (or a slightly heavier grade). Pamphlets were first published in England to disseminate the polemical writings of 16th-century reformers but are now used mainly for material too ephemeral or too brief (500 to 10,000 words) to be printed in book form."
#2Submitted by Alycia on Sat, 09/04/2010 - 2:53pm.
I just began a pamphlet research project of my own last semester, and thought that perhaps a few items from my bibliography might be of help. My work was focused on Early American pamphlets in the era of Tom Paine and specifically Common Sense, but perhaps a few of the items below will help in your search? It seems as though the Howard Zinn piece might be closest to what you are aiming for, but unfortunately he didn't provide any citations for his article. I have been finding myself that there is little thorough work done about pamphlets in general, so please do share what you are able to find!

About Bayou Music Center
Houston, Texas, is the largest city in the state, and the fourth largest in the United States, providing guests with attractions ranging from concert halls to historical sites and convention centers. Among these is a unique, popular venue named Bayou Music Center that consistently schedules prominent bands, so it is important to book Bayou Music Center parking in advance of the concert with ParkWhiz. The venue is situated in the Bayou Place complex within the city's Theater District neighborhood, just south of Buffalo Bayou. The theater opened for public admission in November 1997 under the name of Aerial Theater, a name it kept until February 2002, when the naming rights were bought by Verizon Wireless, resulting in the moniker of Verizon Wireless Theater. The venue was named after the telecommunications company until March 2012, when it was first renamed Bayou Music Center, which held until August 2015. The venue's name was subsequently changed to Revention Music Center until June 2020, after which point it reverted back to the current name. The 27,138 square foot theater consists of two above-ground levels, with the upper floor balcony providing seating while the floor level is primarily standing room only. The venue's underground level is home to the 40 Below VIP Lounge, which features an exclusive bar, private restrooms and a direct entrance to the main music hall level. This reconfigurable and versatile venue promotes A-list performers, so in order to beat the crowd it's a wise idea to book Bayou Music Center parking ahead of time with ParkWhiz.

Q: How to set a new list in a WPF ListBox? I am implementing a simple MVVM WPF application with simple databrowsing commands.
There is a xaml-window with a listbox
    <ListBox x:Name="listBoxPersons" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Persons}" SelectedIndex="{Binding Path=SelectedPerson, Mode=OneWayToSource}"  Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="0,10,10,5" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>

Besides there is a textbox to insert the where-clause
    <TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="6" Margin="0,5,10,5" Name="textBoxWhereClause" />

Persons is a ObservableCollection. I implemented simple Add / Delete / Change Commands for the persons. This works.
Question: what do i have to do, if the user performs a new query resulting in a completely new collection? How can a bind the new collection dynamically to the listbox?
I am a WPF beginner and helpless.
Any help is very appreciated!

A: How can I bind the new collection dynamically to the listbox?
You don't need to reset the binding. Binding is already there you only need to update the binding source.
Simply you have to replace the Persons collection with newly retrieved results
You must have something similar to this in your View Model
private ObservableCollection<Person> _Person ;
public ObservableCollection<Person> Person
{
    get
    {
        return _Person;
    }
    set
    {
        _Person = value;
        OnPrpertyChanged("Person");
    }
}

you can do Person = YourNewCollection; //newly retrieved results
but there are about 50,000 persons in the table. This could result in performance difficulties
There are two things you can do
1) only retrieve limited number of records at a time and provide user next back buttons. Kind of paging.
2) use virtualization option in ListBox so that UI can be responsive and efficient. It makes sure only those objects are loaded from Person collection into listbox which are can be displayed at a certain point of time

Freddie Gray Case: Closing Arguments Complete, Verdict Expected Thursday in Caesar Goodson Jr. Trial

Closing arguments were made Monday in the trial of Baltimore Police Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., the driver of the van that carried Freddie Gray in April 2015. Goodson faces the most serious charges out of the six officers connected to Gray's death.
Goodson's charges include second-degree depraved-heart murder (a murder committed with indifference to human life), involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, manslaughter by vehicle, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. The murder charge carries a maximum sentence of 30 years.
Before closing arguments were delivered, Goodson and Officer Edward Nero exchanged handshakes and smiles at the front of the courtroom. Nero, acquitted of all charges in his trial last month, sat attentively and listened as the prosecution and the defense presented their final position.
The state argued that Goodson failed his constitutional duty as a police officer to protect the well-being of the detainee. Prosecutor Janice Beldsoe noted that several witnesses, including Officer Porter, testified that Goodson as the driver of the police van had the primary responsibility to ensure that Gray was safely transported.
"The state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he breached this duty," Bledsoe said.
Bledsoe argued that Goodson, a veteran police officer, not only was trained on how to place detainees in seat belts and when to call for medical treatment but also worked as a field-training officer for new recruits. Bledsoe noted that Goodson had the opportunity to place Gray in a seat belt on four different occasions and failed to notify his supervisor after making an unreported stop. Bledsoe claimed that during this stop, Gray suffered injuries that would prove to be life-threatening.
"No one goes into the wagon and looks to see what's going on with Gray," Bledsoe said. "Instead they close the door and leave him."
Defense attorney Matthew Fraling argued that Goodson acted as any reasonable officer would have and that the state did not prove its case that Gray had suffered a "rough ride."
Fraling claimed that Goodson didn't put Gray in a seat belt for fear of his own safety, that a gathering crowd presented a potential "mob development" and Gray was acting "uncooperative, resistant and combative" during the van ride.
"The continuum slides up and down between combative and docile, and those circumstances can change quickly," Fraling said.
Fraling seemed to blame Gray for his death by saying that Gray may have created a high degree of risk by allegedly changing his position in the back of the van.
At the heart of the prosecution's case is proving that Goodson displayed malicious intent. It's not enough in a criminal case to say that Goodson didn't follow the guidelines of police protocol; the state has to prove that he did so with the intent to harm Gray.
"I think it will be difficult to prove Officer Goodson's state of mind that day," University of Baltimore law professor David Jaros said. "The crime of gross negligence requires not just that you act unreasonably but that you were aware of the risks that you're taking. Goodson may think, 'I need to take this guy to the hospital, but I can take him in five minutes; I don't need to take him this second.' Then he hasn't committed a crime, even though he's done something that's terribly negligent."
The defense needs to prove not only that Goodson followed protocol using his best judgment but also that Gray's injuries may have been sustained by his own doing, a tactic that Tessa Hill-Aston, president of the Baltimore City chapter of the NAACP, finds insulting.
"The audacity for the defense to blame this on Freddie; how low can you go?" Hill-Aston said. "He was injured and he needed medical attention and he needed a seat belt."
Despite the outcome, Hill-Aston feels that, in part, justice has been served.
"I'm proud that the state's attorney's office brought this to court," she said. "For the Police Department, we are going to see things change. Police are on alert and realize they better think before they do something like this again."
Experts note that a case like this is unprecedented.
"The judge is wrestling with a new situation of culpability," said Jaros. "We have not seen prosecutors bring charges for police officers failing to protect a detainee and eventually causing his death."
"If there is a conviction on any of the charges, we're looking at a historic moment not just in Baltimore but throughout the country," said University of Maryland law professor Doug Colbert.
"We've only seen four police officers convicted in nearly 10,000 deaths in the line of police duty. We have to appreciate that we're looking at something new, something that usually doesn't happen," Colbert continued. "The prosecution had a great deal of courage to bring these charges. Whether or not they succeed, we have learned a great deal. You have to ask yourself, why wouldn't there be criminal charges when someone is taken into police custody alive and seemingly OK, and then within a few minutes winds up in a situation that he ultimately dies from? Why wouldn't police officers be held criminally responsible?"
Judge Barry Williams will announce the verdict on Thursday at 10 a.m.


Furthermore we are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so loading or unloading at night or during the day or on Sundays and public holidays is no problem for us. Finally, we deliver both national and international.
Do you have a problem with transport? We can probably solve it for you. We are always looking for a qualitative solution according to your wishes.

Upwey Wishing Well Halt was a railway station at Bincombe in the county of Dorset in England.  It served the northern part of the village of Upwey, now a suburb of Weymouth, on what is now known as the Heart of Wessex Line and the South West Main Line.

History
Opened by the GWR in 1905, it was part of a scheme by the railway company to counter road competition, particularly from Weymouth's buses. Served by local Weymouth to Dorchester rail motor trains, the station had GWR pagoda shelters and wooden platforms. The platforms were later replaced with brick built structures but the pagodas remained until road competition saw the closure of the halt in 1957.
The site remained popular with railway photographers as from the former access paths and the A354 overbridge good pictures could be had of steam locomotives working hard on the climb from Weymouth up to Bincombe Tunnel. A remarkable thing about the site was that before the construction of the Weymouth relief road, the underbridge to the south of the platforms carried the same road as the overbridge to the north; the A354 negotiated a hairpin bend to the east of the line on the climb over Ridgeway Hill.

Present day
Nothing remains of the platforms as they were removed during works for the 1988 electrification. Trains still pass on the Heart of Wessex Line and the South West Main Line.

Construction is underway to expand The Boro in Tysons
Angela Woolsey April 8, 2022 at 10:30am
Construction has started on The Trillium, a senior living facility coming to The Boro in Tysons (courtesy Silverstone Senior Living)
The Boro expansion will be behind the Westpark Corporate Center, where NADA relocated its headquarters (staff photo by Angela Woolsey)
Where the National Automobile Dealers Association's headquarters once stood, there is now only dirt.
Demolition of the former NADA building at 8400 Westpark Drive in Tysons is complete, and construction is underway to expand The Boro to the north side of Westpark Drive near the Greensboro Metro station.
So far, work has concentrated on "Block J" of the mixed-use development's expansion, according to Tanya Graves, senior vice president of marketing & tenant services at The Boro.
That block consists of The Trillium, the 16-story, 198-room continuing care facility from Silverstone Senior Living. Planned amenities include a cafe, lounge and restaurant and a first-floor wellness center with exercise equipment, yoga studios, a day spa, and salon, according to Silverstone.
A map of The Meridian Group's planned extension of The Boro (via Fairfax County)
Construction has also commenced on the adjacent portion of Allsboro Park, a publicly accessible park proposed to connect Greensboro Drive with a not-yet-built extension of Broad Street.
Delivery of The Trillium and that portion of Allsboro Park are expected in mid-2024, Graves says.
The former NADA building's demolition started at the end of August, and The Meridian Group, the developer behind The Boro, obtained the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors' approval of its expansion plans on Nov. 9.
In addition to the senior living facility, the 1.1 million square feet of approved housing, retail, and other amenities will include:
Blocks I and K: residential buildings with 122 and 421 units, respectively, and approximately 34,000 square feet of retail, joined by a glass bridge over Boro Place
Block L: a 145,000-square-foot health club or 42 townhouses with a central green space
A plan for the residential buildings have been under review by Fairfax County since early 2021. It's scheduled to go before the county's planning commission for a public hearing on May 11.
"The entitlement process for the residential projects on Blocks I and K is ongoing with construction commencement anticipated for later this year," Graves said.
While no plans have been submitted for Block L yet, leaving open the question of whether it will be a health club or townhouses, Graves says earthwork, utilities, roads and utility infrastructure for the full, 9.37-acre expansion site are set to be completed by mid-2023.

Hulu and Spotify aren't the most popular destinations when compared to others in their circle; Hulu has to compete with larger and more dominant Netflix and Amazon, while Spotify competes with Pandora and Apple Music. But the two companies are making a move in an effort to boost their popularity among younger generations with Spotify's new and improved student bundle.
College Students who meet the requirements will now be able to get both a premium Spotify subscription and a subscription to Hulu for a combined price of $4.99 a month. Individually both plans would cost $9.99 and $7.99 per month, respectively.
Spotify Premium for Students, now with Hulu, as the plan has been called, combines Spotify's paid on-demand music service with Hulu's basic paid on-demand video tier, referred to by the company as its "limited commercials" plan.
"The broader goal of this partnership for Hulu is to build brand loyalty and viewership among this important young audience segment (who could then potentially become paying Hulu customers when they graduate)," a representative from Hulu explained to Videoink.
The move is a smart play by both companies– if college students love anything its music, movies, TV… and discounts– by locking in these maturing adults early on, both companies stand to gain loyal customers later in life. Plus, there is always the chance that students don't cancel or forget to cancel their subscription after graduation resulting in a nice payday for both companies.

Dominos Employees Are About To Get A Huge Bonus
Great news for Domino's Pizza workers, the world's largest pizza maker has set aside $9.6 million for bonuses. More than 11,500 company-owned store and supply chain hourly team members and drivers will receive a special bonus this month. Eligible team members will earn up to $1,200 in bonus compensation.
Los Angeles Times via Getty Imag

lifespan of eucalyptus trees
More recently, we have finally put to rest the claim that "nothing grows under eucalyptus." This myth was based on a theory that eucalyptus emits allelopathic chemicals that prevent the growth of plants in the eucalyptus forest. And yet, we just as stubbornly persist in defense of our urban forest. TAKING ACTION: The Forest Action Brigade requests correction of the public record regarding lifespan of eucalyptus. Thanks for your question. (California Invasive Plant Council rates the "invasiveness" of blue gum as "limited.") It's only logical to apply that hypothesis to the question of how long blue gums will live in California. If blue gums can survive as street trees on heavily traveled roads, they can surely survive longer in the protection of their neighbors in forests. Foliage Leaves are glossy, dark green, thick and leathery. Many healthy blue gums in California are 150 years old. They are mostly Tasmanian blue gums and red gums with a sprinkling of manna trees.". Eucalyptus of such great heights are hard to find today because most trees never get the chance to live their full life. I did not object to the removal of the blue gums because they are on private property. That said, the 2 biggest problems with blue gums are rot, and horribly incompetent pruning (which generally leads to rot). Asked by Wiki User. That reference was corroborated by John Helms, Professor Emeritus of Forestry at UC Berkeley and an Australian who said in response to our question about blue gums in California, "Blue gums would commonly live for 200 – 400 years, although I presume that some might live longer.", We also asked the Australian National Botanic Gardens. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Bees. He begins with a comprehensive history of when, where, why, and by whom eucalypts were planted in California. Planted 1986. Ideologies stubbornly persist, despite contradictory evidence. Great article. More recently, we have finally put to rest the claim that "nothing grows under eucalyptus." This myth was based on a theory that eucalyptus emits allelopathic chemicals that prevent the growth of plants in the eucalyptus forest. So, we can agree that there is some incompetence and negligence in tree care by humans, but blue gums are not singled out for poor care. Answer Save. Another eucalyptus tree killer is cold weather and frost. There are many examples of blue gums being planted as street trees in California about 150 years ago. As wildfires have increased in frequency and intensity in California, that claim is no longer credible because every wildfire occurs in native vegetation. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It has a straight trunk up to two-thirds of its total height and a well-developed crown. Good luck. Top of … We eventually tracked down the source of that lifespan estimate to a website called SelecTree, which originally said that the longevity of blue gums is only 50-150 years. ( Log Out / When they started destroying our predominantly non-native urban forest, they learned that it wasn't going to be as easy as they thought. The eucalypts in Burlingame are still thriving, but the elms have been dead for about 60 years. If and when that particular myth dies, we can be sure there will be another waiting in the wings. When the native plant movement began in earnest, about 25 years ago, its proponents weren't expecting blowback from those who value the existing landscape. Look … taking an average of 1,000 trees per hectare, 73.326 lbs CO2/tree/year. It is in leaf all year, in flower from July to August. may wonder about its age -- … Olmsted designed a straight avenue through the cemetery lined with magnolia trees. That local legal status did not protect them from several attempts by Caltrans to destroy the trees. We knew that isn't an accurate estimate because of how long blue gums live in Australia and how long they have already lived in California. Eucalyptus tree lifespan? Thank you. In other words, since eucalyptus trees have more predators in Australia than they do in California, we should expect them to live longer here. this myth was eventually disproved by reality. Caltrans is now working cooperatively with the people of Burlingame to address safety concerns while "also keeping an eye to the prized grove of eucalyptus trees along the street." A task force was formed in 2018 to discuss these issues. Many of the magnolia trees have died and those that remain are in poor condition. How can I save it ? Burlingame, SF Bay area, California, USA. Ironically, that hypothesis is used by nativists to support their claim that eucalyptus is invasive in California. Blue gum eucalyptus lives in Australia 200-400 years. The claim that eucalyptus and other non-native trees are more flammable than native trees was a powerful narrative that was more difficult to kill. Ideal candidates for containers include: Containers should be large enough to accommodate the tree, about 2 feet in diameter, and allow for adequate drainage. If a tree has enough water, food and sunshine throughout its life, then it can live to the end of its natural lifespan. They belong to the family of Myrtaceae that also called eucalypts. Here is an article on this blog about this phenomenon: https://milliontrees.me/2015/06/23/drought-adapted-eucalyptus-not-dying-by-the-thousand/. Most euc species can be expected to achieve 6 - 12 feet of new growth each year. Commonly attains a height of 150-180 ft. (45.7-54.9 m) and a diameter of 4-7 ft. (1.2-2.1 m). John McLaren was subsequently hired by the city of San Francisco, where he planted many more eucalypts while serving as superintendent of the parks department for 53 years. Eucalyptus of such great heights are hard to find today because most trees never get the chance to live their full life. Eucalyptus tree can reach 33 to 200 feet in height. (1) Here is the public record, on which my report about the trees in Burlingame is based: Perhaps we should call the Blue Gum 'native' as the trees grow there for such a long time and they grow under hard circumstances. The many pending lawsuits against PG&E by people who lost their homes and/or loved ones, will pass final judgment on PG&E. About 700 species of eucalyptus have been identified that present in the different bark, leaves, and colors. SelecTree has revised its listing of blue gum longevity based on the information we provided. Eucalyptus globulus is an aromatic tree. Brain wasn't capable of a side trip. There are many species of eucalyptus trees, including popular varieties like Gum tree and Silver-Dollar tree, that can be grown in the home landscape. I did not protest before or after the trees were destroyed because they were on private land and their removal makes way for more grave sites. To many, Australia means kangaroos, koala bears, didgeridoos and eucalyptus trees. That myth is dead. Again. El Camino Real bordered by Eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus trees are common in the Andes mountains of Peru, but I´ve never seen this variety. Well over a quarter of a million people and 500 organizations submitted comments yesterday rejecting the commercialization of ArborGen Inc.'s genetically engineered (GE) eucalyptus trees, which, if approved, would be the first-ever GE forest tree approved in the U.S. As wildfires have increased in frequency and intensity in California, that claim is no longer credible because every wildfire occurs in native vegetation. Ideologies stubbornly persist, despite contradictory evidence. PUTTING ANOTHER MYTH TO REST: LIFESPAN OF BLUE GUM EUCALYPTUS, When the native plant movement began in earnest, about 25 years ago, its proponents weren't expecting blowback from those who value the existing landscape. Let's begin by questioning why there is only one species in the entire animal kingdom whose activities in spreading plants into new habitats is "unnatural". There is not one tree trimming service in a hundred that knows how to do it properly. The rainbow eucalyptus can easily achieve a height of over 250 feet in its natural habitat. Normal eucalyptus lifespan ranges between 70 and 120 years. I did not object to the removal of the blue gums because they are on private property. BLUE GUM EUCALYPTUS IN AUSTRALIA LIVES 200-400 YEARS The people of Burlingame greatly value their eucalypts and designated them as "heritage trees" in 1975 under a local ordinance. The current owner of the cemetery destroyed many of the blue gums about 5 years ago, in the middle of the extreme drought.

OPT in Bulgaria: developing a campaign on many levels
For a second year in a row, in September 2018, the Federation of transport trade unions in Bulgaria (FTTUB) took part in the European mobility week (EMW) with a second wave of 'Our Public Transport' campaign – which FTTUB develops in Bulgaria since 1 May 2017.
Last year, we introduced the OPT campaign to the wider trade union movement during CITUB's 8th congress, which was attended by delegates from all industrial sectors in Bulgaria; and honored by guests from ITUC – the Deputy Secretary-General Jaap Wienen; and the European Economic and Social Council – Georges Dassis, president of the Workers' Group at EESC. OPT was presented at the conference "A Future for Labor, a Future for Young People in Europe" organized by the International Youth Forum in Sofia. Later on, during EMW 2017 in September, we worked in partnership with Sofia municipality and the local public transport companies (bus, tram and trolley, metro and urban mobility centre) to draw the attention of the citizens of Sofia to the important role and the benefits of a publicly owned urban transport. At the open-door days during EMW 2017 for each company, FTTUB brought the spotlight on the transport workers. Citizens had the chance to experience first-hand our jobs at our workplaces and thus better appreciate our role as the people who give life to OPT. We also presented the results of a survey we have conducted proving that an increase in the number of women drivers leads to an improved working environment, better service for passengers and more profits for the companies in the entire urban transport sector.
In 2018, we opened our OPT campaign to other big cities in Bulgaria, and used the EMW 2018 to once more draw public attention towards public transport.

The new EASA basic regulation is an important step in the right direction
The European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF), representing over 350,000 workers across the whole aviation industry in Europe, welcomes yesterdays' European Parliament Plenary vote on the new European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Basic Regulation as an important step in the right direction. Some of ETF's long-standing claims – such as the inclusion of ground handling into the scope of the Agency or the interdependence between safety and socio-economic factors – have been reflected. Subject to the approval of the Council, the ETF regrets the extension of the flexibility provisions to eight months thus giving too many possibilities for airlines to derogate from established rules, in particular as regards flight time limitations.

ITF and Qatari government continue talks under the ILO technical cooperation programme
An ITF delegation, led by ITF General Secretary Stephen Cotton, visited Qatar last week to hold discussions with top officials to set a framework for the implementation of the common objectives, agreed by both sides at a previous meeting held in London on 4 October last year.
The ITF delegation met with HE Mr. Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, Minister of Transport; HE Mr. Issa bin Saad Al-Jafali Al-Nuaimi, Minister of Administrative Development – Labour and Social Affairs (ADLSA); Mr. Fernando Casadevall, Qatar Airways' Chief Human Resources Officer; Saleh bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Director General of the Qatar Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Houtan Homayounpour, responsible of the ILO office in Doha.
The ITF delegates welcomed the Ministers' commitment to the ILO technical cooperation programme (TCP), under which the ILO and the Government of Qatar agreed to work together to strengthen national regulations and practices. They also agreed to work together to strengthen the capacities of the government, employers, and workers to realise fundamental principles and rights at work, in line with international labour standards. Under the TCP, the government of Qatar will promote a speedy process to resolve individual grievance procedures and will regulate the creation of joint labour committees at company level, among other measures.
After the meetings, Stephen Cotton declared: "We believe that accelerating our cooperation with the aim of reaching an agreement will provide a clear message to the regional and global community that the Government of Qatar is fully committed to the TCP and workers' rights generally. With the government's support, and under the umbrella of the ILO TCP, I am certain that we can develop a road map to be launched in the next few months for the full protection of labour and social rights of all transport workers in Qatar."

Political and legal fears that online poker is a high risk area in terms of money laundering may be exaggerated, appears to be the conclusion of a new academic study commissioned from the department of economics at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria and the International Research Institute for Gambling and Gaming in Bonn, Germany.
The study was commissioned by TÜV Trust IT GmbH Unternehmens-gruppe TUV Austria, to define standardized testing criteria to make it easier to supervise gambling services providers, both technically and in terms of financial regulation.
Researchers Prof. Dr. DDr. h.c. Friedrich Schneider, Prof. Dr. Dr. Franz W. Peren and Prof. Dr. Reiner Clement formed a set of recommended measures to reduce further the risk of money laundering, and concluded in their report "Online Poker: Possible Money Laundering and its Prevention" that the risk of money laundering through online poker websites was mitigated by the sophisticated tracking and other protective measures adopted by many operators.
The study claims that Germany has already developed into the world's second-largest market for online poker, and that political discussion in Germany and the EU has repeatedly associated the sector with money laundering risks, with regulatory measures introduced to ban its legal offer on the Internet.
On the other hand, the researchers observe, MEP Ashley Fox, the European Parliament rapporteur on online gaming in the internal market, has pointed out that online games of chance are a cashless service and that the "electronic fingerprint" makes it easy to track the activities of players and providers.
Online gambling providers licensed in Germany, including the 23 licensed online poker and casino operators in Schleswig-Holstein, are among those covered by German money laundering prevention laws and are therefore required to meet the due diligence obligation laid down in the Money Laundering Act., as does EU regulations.
Despite this focus on internet gambling and poker, there is "….a lack of robust scientific evidence of the existence, or quantification, of the money laundering risk that online poker entails," the researchers note.
The present study addresses these issues, the three professors claim. It begins by examining the existing risk of money laundering in online poker from the economic angle and relates it to other branches of the economy. It goes on to discuss which measures in the field of online poker can be implemented especially effectively to combat money laundering.
In conclusion the study proposes, on the basis of a ten-point plan, the implementation of a catalogue of measures that ought almost to rule out the misuse of regulated online poker offerings for money-laundering purposes.

Set your custom bagger apart with a low-profile solo seat that combines street-rod style with a surprising touch of comfort. Start with a shape that distributes your weight across a wide surface area to reduce pressure points.
Fits '09-later Touring models. Does not fit Trike models. Does not accept Rider Backrest. Seat width 15.0".
Low-Profile Solo Touring Seat is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mtnmanbrad from What the doctor ordered Changed Ultra Limited into single seater. Jerry's Upholstery in town matched finder bib. Only done local riding, hope it does well on the long trips next summer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philmyersart from Extremely happy with this seat As soon as I opened the box I was stoked on the color of this seat. Against the plain vivid black from Harley really makes the seat standout and gives a custome look. Only bummer is no matching bib yet but I definitely plan on getting the matching passenger pillion soon. I'm just in love with the color of this not to mention it's pretty comfortable for a solo seat.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GFVIII from Great Look and feel Of course this seat came in on the coldest day of the year so I haven't ridden with it yet. The look is incredible and so far, it feels great to sit on. I had no problem at all covering the bolts like other reviewers had. I just ordered a solo luggage rack to go with it. As for the color, it is looks like it was made to go with Amber Whiskey.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bahopuwet from Excellent quality Bought this seat for my '14 FLHXS and I couldn't be more happier. Definitely change the look of my bike, the quality, stitches and materials are excellent and the comfort is superb. I was kinda leery at first because it's thinner than my stock seat. After putting almost a thousand miles on it one weekend my doubt goes out the window. I love this seat and I get so many compliments from other riders.
Where does this seat move the rider when compared with stock?
2011 HD Street Glide FLHX. Rider 76", 215lbs.
Does this seat clear the rider backrest mount that is standard fitment on the CVO Limited?
I am considering fitting the detachable top case kit to ny 2014 CVO Limited which has the rider backrest mounting fitted as standard. I use the backrest with the standard seat so would like to leave it installed. If this seat does not clear the rider backrest hardware, can you advise a low profile seat that does.
What is the seat pan made out of?

After the Opposition announced former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar, a Dalit politician, as its presidential candidate to take on NDA nominee Ram Nath Kovind, the presidential election has become a Dalit vs Dalit contest.
According to the 2011 Census, 16.6 per cent of India's population are Dalits or SCs. That's nearly 20.14 crore people. But at the moment, no Indian state has a Dalit chief minister.
16 chief ministers belong to Forward Communities, while six states have OBC chief ministers. It includes the National Capital Region of Delhi. The eight states of north-east India - Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and Meghalaya - mostly have tribal chief ministers.


Back in September I wrote this post on curating the perfect beach house library.
Well, another month, another season and another friend's renovation project (my friends are big into tearing down walls!) has just wrapped up. This was a special project in that it's a house I practically grew up in, owned by a woman who had a huge role in shaping the person I am today. The house is completely changed – all for the better – and this friend, too, is planning to dedicate an entire room to books. While a beach house is obviously a place for summer reading – the lake house has always made me think of Fall and changing leaves and the romance (though not the practicalities!) of a wood burning stove.
This is definitely the library for large, heavy hardcover door-stopper novels. And knowing the tastes of the people who'll be using it, it's also a place where I imagine edge worn sci-fi paperbacks by Jack Vance & Fritz Leiber side-by-side with contemporary examples of narrative non-fiction. A whole row of cookbooks and a stack of…. enough. Let's do this right.
A subscription to The New York Review of Books – perfect for Saturday morning reading between sips of coffee.
Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall & Bring Up the Bodies for all the obvious reasons.
The Complete Annotated Short Stories of Sherlock Holmes (W.W. Norton) – They're huge, unwieldy and don't make for the most comfortable reading, but I'm partial to the annotated volumes in this boxed set.
Jack Vance, Fritz Leiber, Douglas Adams and that guy who wrote the Conan the Barbarian series – classic American sci-fi and fantasy. I always feel nostalgic in the Fall.
Murakami – not 1Q84 so much, though I don't rule it out of hand. I'm thinking of his earlier books with their themes of isolation and loss.
I know Cloud Atlas is EVERYWHERE at the moment so I won't insult you by recommending it. A novel by David Mitchell is perfect for this (or really any) time of year. I wonder if they were written while the leaves changed color? The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet or Black Swan Green… reader's choice.
I still haven't discovered cookbooks I like better than The Canal House Cookbook series. New books come out twice a year. An added (and, admittedly, obvious) benefit is that you can read them while cooking up a fabulously delicious meal.
Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume One should have a permanent spot on the table next to your favorite reading chair. Just waiting for you to dip into on a long, cold night. A cat and a snifter of brandy is recommended but completely optional.
Any book from the collection of authors born out of the imagination of the French author Antoine Volodine. I'll be reviewing We Monks & Soldiers by Lutz Bassmann later this week. Atmospheric and strange and more than a little bit creepy.
Do you have a favorite book for this time of year? Something you recommend for when the nights begin to turn cold?


Smart cities are no longer science fiction, but do regional contractors understand this yet?
Dubai is the home of the Middle East's smart city movement, but are construction contractors open to new technology concepts?
Industry conversation around smart cities has intensified in the last few years, with events such as Dubai's ongoing Gitex Technology Week providing a platform for construction companies to better understand how digitisation can improve their output.
This week has been illuminating for Construction Week, as we have had the opportunity to explore the various tools showcased at Gitex 2018 – many of which are geared towards supporting 'smart' city infrastructure.
Unsurprisingly, the UAE's government entities are leading the smart city movement, as was evidenced by the launch of numerous public sector-backed services, such as UAE Pass.
As reported by CW's sister title, ITP.net, Smart Dubai partnered with the UAE's Telecommunication Regulatory Authority to launch the national digital identity and signature system, which will allow users to access local and federal services through their smartphones, cutting paper wastage and eliminating the need for office visits.
Privately owned technology companies are equally excited by smart city prospects in the region – especially for the built environment. At Gitex 2018, SAP told Construction Week that it was targeting Saudi Arabia's $500bn (SAR1.9tn) Neom gigaproject with its smart city portfolio.
SAP's update came a day after a UAE-owned company launched a prototype of sensor-fitted clothing for outdoor workers. Crescent Enterprises' chief executive officer, Badr Jafar, said many items in the firm's clothing line include "little sensors" that can be used by foremen to monitor the health of their staff. Jafar said that while foremen want to keep track of health concerns such as low blood pressure or fatigue, they "usually do not know until it is too late".
In fact, even overall site safety can be enhanced through smart technology, such as internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking to Construction Week at Gitex 2018 earlier this week, Microsoft said that IoT and AI could help to acquire historical data, reduce project delays, and prevent site fires.
Necip Ozyucel, cloud and enterprise group lead at Microsoft Gulf, explained: "The main technology for construction is IoT. By using sensors, we can capture everything in the construction environment, which is [traditionally] very chaotic.
"If you think about the safety perspective too, which is top of the mind for the construction sector, objective cognition – which is part of AI – is a key technology. If you train the system to detect anomalies in the construction environment, then it can become very easy to detect problems, and create alarms with objective cognition.
"By using cameras, we can detect any object on the construction site. Fire or smoke, for example, would be very easy to detect. If you approach this from the safety perspective, IoT is very interesting for construction companies," Ozyucel added.
Contractors – and even clients – cannot be blamed for believing that smart city technologies are more like science fiction than practical and beneficial tools. The traditionalism of the global construction industry is well-known. But it would be remiss of Dubai's contractors not to take strides to overcome this inertia.
As the home of the Middle East's smart city movement, Dubai is the ideal hub for construction companies to experiment with technologies that could increase their efficiency and significantly cut costs.

Looking for evidence to support advocacy or funding applications?
The Wellbeing in Later Life Index, developed by Age UK and the University of Southampton, analysed data from 15,000 people aged 60 and over to measure the wellbeing of the UK's older population.
It looked at how people were doing in different aspects of their lives under five key areas – social, personal, health, financial and environmental.
Overall it showed there is no 'magic bullet' for positive wellbeing in later life and that instead, a whole host of factors under each of the key areas play a part in contributing to a person's overall sense of wellbeing.
Factors which were found to have a bigger influence in improving peoples' wellbeing than many people might suppose included having an open personality and being willing to try out new things; being physically active; having a good memory and thinking skills; and a good social network and lots of warm relationships around you.
Interestingly however, the Index found that taking part in 'creative activities' such as the arts had the most direct influence in improving a person's wellbeing in later life. The activities that older people took part in included dancing, playing a musical instrument, visiting museums, photography, singing, painting and writing.

Netflix is doubling-down on European content, with $1 billion to spend on new shows and movies
By Stephen Lambrechts 2018-04-19T00:26:10.108Z
We'll take more shows like Dark, please
In a move that's sure to please subscribers but annoy traditional broadcasters, Netflix is reportedly doubling its budget for European content, with plans to spend $1 billion on original and co-produced content in the continent, according to the Financial Times.
Though Netflix has not commented on the figure, the news comes only hours after an announcement that the service would be launching 10 new European productions, including seven shows, two documentaries and a movie.
It's a good time for Netflix to expand its content plans, too. It set a new record for subscriber growth in Q1, signing up 7.41 million new users — something that's in large part thanks to the company's continued expansion into more international markets — and the streaming giant's first-quarter earnings revealed that revenue is up 40% year-on-year, with a new record of $3.7 billion earned in the quarter.
Acccording to Business Insider, the growth is driven in large part by the service's investment in local-language content. In theory, raising the budget for European productions should only see that number increase.
If we continue to get more quality European Netflix originals like Money Heist, Dark and Suburra: Blood on Rome, that can only be seen as a good thing.
