The animal mummies are so fascinating! I was surprised to learn that the more elaborate the mummy's wrappings are, the less likely it is that there is a complete animal inside.
Oh wow, that is interesting. Like this for example?
This mummy contains a complete ibis. You can compare it to the extremely elaborate (and beautiful!) ibis mummy in the last room which has a resin mask and headdress, but only contains feathers!
It appears that there may have been some corrupt priests working in the temples that sold these mummies to the public.
Hi! An ibis is a type of water bird with a long, curved beak. The ancient Egyptians associated them with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing.
There were certain temples where the priests bred the birds specifically to be mummified and sold to the public for making donations to the god.
What did the ibis symbolize something that made them so popular?
Their long beak resembled the reed pens used by scribes, which is how they came to be associated with the god Thoth.
This is a typical example of a votive mummy. The ancient Egyptians believed that animals has spirits that could carry messages to the gods. The ibis was associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom.
These four animal mummies are in ibis-related shapes but different wrapping styles. The CT scans and X-rays shown here reveal that two of these mummies are indeed ibises, as expected, but that of the two others, one contains snakes and the other contains shrews.
Scientific examination has revolutionized scholars' understanding of the most basic data available in analyzing animal mummies.

This past weekend at Mount Shasta – Cisko Basurto and myself and a few others from our Team were involved in getting this person aid and rescued off the mountain. I initially called SAR for the rescue and a friend Ronald Dalla Tor, helped carry the injured climber down the mountain.
MOUNT SHASTA, Calif. — A climber described by authorities as "well-prepared during his ascent" was struck by a fallen rock, suffering injuries and requiring a multi-agency rescue from Mount Shasta, Saturday.
Efforts led by Siskiyou County Search and Rescue and involving several agencies located and rescued David Backlin, 29, of Nevada City, California, in the vicinity of Lake Helen, on Mount Shasta. The initial call for assistance said the injured climber was at an elevation of 11,550 feet along Avalanche Gulch, a popular route with climbers looking to summit Shasta.
A California Air National Guard helicopter found and airlifted the injured hiker to the Old Ski Bowl, where Backlin was then transported to Mercy Mount Shasta Hospital. His injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. "This was another life-saving effort by a dedicated group of professionals and volunteers, willing to risk their lives for others in need," Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey said.
In addition to the Siskiyou County Search and Rescue team, agencies taking part in the rescue included the USFS Climbing Rangers, California Highway Patrol's H-14 helicopter unit, California OES, and the California National Guard's Spartan 155 helicopter crew.
The initial report of the injured climber was received by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team at 5:36 a.m. According to the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, the crew flying the California Air National Guard Spartan 155 helicopter located him at 12:18 p.m. that afternoon.

Human error in the workplace is not something to take lightly. A simple mistake made by an employee that has access to sensitive data could mean the demise of your business. Not all employers realize how dangerous human error can be. When it comes to cybersecurity, employee mistakes can lead to serious breaches in your information security and should be considered as threats.
Typical employee cyber security mistakes are associated with poor password handling, careless handling of data, use of insecure software, and general lack of knowledge about potential threats and best practices to prevent them.
Although there are many situations that can lead to mistakes, there are five main categories of human error security threats.
Passwords are the most basic security technique that can provide a very reliable protection if handled with care and do not share with anybody. However, when passwords are not handled with proper care and procedures, they can be easily cracked, guessed or otherwise obtained by malicious perpetrators, allowing them full access to the system.
Using simple passwords. A typical example of human factors in security is a simple password that is easy to remember. Sometimes, employees may even use default credentials. Such passwords are easy to guess or crack by a brute-force attack.
Sharing passwords. Sharing passwords among employees is a careless mistake that can easily give malicious insider access to the data they should not have access to. One look at the famous example of information security breach by Edward Snowden reinforces the fact that this is a bad idea for security. Another security mistake is to share the same password across different services and accounts. This means that if one of those services is compromised, all of them are also potentially compromised.
Sending data via email by mistake. Most white-collar employees send a lot of emails during work. It only takes a single mistake while typing recipient address in order to send sensitive data to the wrong person.
Accidentally deleting files. Employees may delete some files to clear space without realizing how important they were.
Neglecting updates. Employees often neglect updates because they take too long or pop up in inconvenient moments, leaving software vulnerable to an attack. Use of legacy software with known vulnerabilities is also a very widespread issue. Such software is often used not because it has exclusive necessary features, but rather as a force of habit.
Intentionally disable security features. Employees can disable security features that they think is hindering their work efficiency without realizing their importance. Such actions can easily compromise the security of the whole system.
Hackers attempting to install malware or ransomware often do so through unprepared employees. Employees often have very low awareness about phishing and social engineering practices that can make them inadvertently help malicious agents get access to company data.
Using and downloading unauthorized software. Just because an unauthorized software certainly not malicious, it can still contain vulnerabilities that can serve as a gateway in your system for the malicious threatener. Make sure your employees only download authorized software.
Clicking on malicious email links. Emails containing malicious links are very dangerous and hard to filter. With the latest resurgence of ransomware delivered via malicious email links, it is vital to educate your employees on ways to be aware of and avoid malicious emails.
Plugging unknown or insecure devices. Make sure that your employees never plug in unfamiliar devices to any company devices. These can contain malicious code that will run automatically. Even if the device is the property of the employee, your company should forbid any outside devices. Even if the origin of the device is known, it can still harbor a virus, contracted from interacting with the outside network and therefore should not be allowed.
Having too many privileges. Employees may end up having access to data or system configurations that they should not have. Such access can result in accidental data leaks.
Performing unauthorized system changes. Employees may perform unauthorized system changes in order to speed up their job or make it easier. However, they are most likely unaware that such changes can disturb regular business procedures and even bring down the system. You should try to block attempts from being performed.
Some of these mistakes happen more often than others. While they may not cause any immediate damage to your organization, these lapses in procedure following, such security mistakes, are disasters waiting to happen. They cannot go unmoderated. These can cause cyber security breaches and data leaks that will cause a lot of money to recover and may damage your business. These are simple fixes that can prevent disastrous mistakes.
Apply the principle of least privilege so that only authorized employees have access to certain data.
Human error threats can be prevented. By consciously applying yourself to learning how to prevent such errors and threats is the first step to making sure your security is tight. Through implementing strict policy and procedure, you are saving your company drastic time and money that could be spent on fixing mistakes. Don't let it get to the point of a mistake happening in the first place. Take action for your data security with our help!

Enjoy a stroll through the lovely park while admiring the majestic 15-meter-high Duden Waterfall. A natural cave may be found behind the waterfall where you can view the cascades. You'll take a one-hour boat ride from Antalya's historic harbor to the stunning Karpuzkaldiran Waterfall, also known as the Lower Duden Waterfall. It is the highest cascade in the Antalya region, with a height of 30 meters. As you approach the harbor, you'll be able to see the coastline of Antalya's old city. » book this tour
Quad Bike Fun in the Taurus Mountains
Spend a wonderful day together while enjoying an exceptional and interesting experience. The rugged mountains provide ideal terrain for a quad bike, which can carry you to places that other vehicles can only dream of. There will be plenty of twists and turns as you go through the limestone bluffs. Don't worry if you've never driven an ATV before. You don't even need a driver's license to participate, and everyone over the age of 16 is welcome. You'll quickly learn the essentials and be on your way after a brief orientation and practice session. » book this tour
Full-Day Pamukkale and Hierapolis Tour
Early in the morning, you'll be picked up from your Antalya hotel and driven to Pamukkale for a full-day tour. The calcite-laden waters that formed this surreal environment originate from springs on a 200-meter-high cliff overlooking the plain. Admire the mineral woods, petrified waterfalls, and terraced basins that these waters have produced. The thermal spa of Hierapolis was founded by the rulers of Pergamon towards the end of the 2nd century B.C. The site contains the remnants of baths, temples, and other Greek monuments. For ancient Hierapolis, the temples were important commercial centers. » book this tour
Things to do / Sightseeing
Konyaalti Beach
With a magnificent backdrop of mountains sloping down to the shoreline beyond, Konyaalti Beach is one of Antalya's two premier stretches of beach. There are sun loungers with umbrellas for rent, adequate bathroom, and shower facilities, and a palm-lined promenade behind the beach dotted with snack stores, cafés, and restaurants for when you feel hungry. The beach is easily accessible from town, making it a popular beach option for visitors staying in Antalya's old town district's evocative boutique hotels, as well as those staying at beach hotels.
Time required: 2 to 3 hours.
Airport to here: 24 minutes via Private transport
Old Marina
The Old Marina, situated among rugged rocks and packed with boats that float upon its turquoise seas, is located in a wonderful little scenic bay. It's an evocative area to stop by, with little, winding alleys twisting out from the marina and a plethora of small cafes and restaurants surrounding the coastline. It was formerly Antalya's main business hub, but now it's the ideal spot for a coffee or dinner while admiring the stunning environment. You can also take a boat ride from here to explore the Turkish coastline.
Airport to here: 22 minutes via Private transport.
Antalya boasts a world-class archaeological legacy due to its location in the ancient Pamphylia region, which stretched from the Mediterranean coast to the Taurus highlands. It's no surprise, however, that the Antalya Archaeological Museum is one of the best in the country and a must-see for anyone visiting the city on vacation. At any given moment, more than 5,000 objects are on display in 13 halls, spanning prehistory to the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, as well as life in the Antalya countryside in the early twentieth century. Of course, ancient artifacts, ranging from money to status, sarcophagi, wine bowls, jewelry, and figurines, arouse the most interest.
Scramble around the Ruins of Termessos
While Aspendos has the most tourism fame, Termessos, 34 kilometres northwest of Antalya, has the best atmosphere. The warlike Pisidians zealously preserved their independence from the mountain eyrie of Termessos, and neither the Greeks nor the Romans were able to subdue them. This ancient city's well-preserved ruins are strewn around a rocky mountainside with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. If you wish to fully explore this place, wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of drinks. The colonnaded roadway and upper agora are particularly magnificent but don't overlook the theatre, which offers breathtaking views of the Taurus Mountains.
Yivli Minaret
Yivli Minaret, one of Antalya's most famous attractions, rises above its surroundings, an exquisite monument that wonderfully displays Seljuk architecture. Yivli is located in the historic center and is part of a 13th-century mosque that is still in use today. There are beautiful views of the red roofs all around it from the top. Yivli, which means 'fluted minaret' in Turkish, is a 38-meter-high structure that today houses the Antalya Ethnographic Museum, which has a wealth of antique and intriguing objects.
Hadrian's Gate
Hadrian's Gate, the major gateway leading into the old town's eastern part, is the most striking entrance into Antalya's old town district. On the eastern side of the old town area, segments of the Hellenistic and Roman town walls have been maintained in incomplete form, but Hadrian's Gate is the most renowned of these pieces. This majestic three-arched marble gateway, flanked by imposing towers and embellished with lavish sculptural ornamentation, was erected in celebration of Emperor Hadrian's visit in CE 130.
Airport to here: 20 minutes via Private transportE.
Kursunlu Waterfalls
The Kursunlu Waterfalls, about 12 kilometres from Antalya, are located in the same-named nature park and are definitely worth visiting. The water comes from the Aksu River and runs across the countryside before flowing into the lovely turquoise lake below Kursunlu. The pool is surrounded by lush foliage, and the water wall only adds to the picture-perfect setting. Wildlife abounds in this remote and serene location, and the perfection on display makes you feel as if you're in a storybook.
Vast Ancient City of Perge
This was the ancient capital of Pamphylia, which flourished under Greek and Roman authority. The ruins here, some 17 kilometers east of Antalya, are not as well-known as those along Turkey's Mediterranean Coast, which means there are fewer visitors, allowing visitors to enjoy the long colonnaded streets and half-collapsed temples in solitude. For independent tourists, this is the simplest ancient city site to get from Antalya, as the tram network now goes all the way to Aksu, from whence you can walk the final two kilometers to the site's entrance gate.
Time required: Half day to Full day.

Former NASA engineer Mejdal leaves Astros for Orioles
Mike Elias
By Associated Press - Wednesday, November 21, 2018
BALTIMORE (AP) - New Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias called upon a familiar face to help rebuild the club, hiring former NASA engineer Sig Mejdal from the Houston Astros to be assistant general manager for analytics.
Mejdal will report to Elias and will oversee all aspects of the club's growing analytics effort and serve as an adviser to Elias, the Orioles said Wednesday. Mejdal had been a special assistant for process improvement to Houston GM Jeff Luhnow since October 2015.
Elias was introduced Monday as Baltimore's general manager. The 35-year-old has been charged with turning around a team that finished 47-115, the worst record in the majors.
Mejdal has been working in the majors for 14 seasons. He joined the Astros for the 2012 season - as did Elias - and organized the team's analytics department from its inception.
Before coming to the Astros, Mejdal and Elias both worked in the St. Louis Cardinals front office.
Elias called Mejdal "one of the most experienced and accomplished analysts working in baseball today."
Mejdal has a pair of engineering degrees from UC Davis and advanced degrees in operations research and cognitive psychology/human factors from San Jose State. In addition to NASA, he worked for Lockheed Martin.

The invention relates to chemistry and agriculture, namely, substituted SIMM-triazines as postregulation and means for presowing treatment of seeds on the basis of them.
Known application of IAA (indelicacy acid) as a stimulant for germination of seeds of fruit and berry crops, consisting of pre-soaking seeds in 0.001% aqueous solution of IAA for 6 h  Disadvantages of its use are the need of bodrstvovaniya (pre-dilution) in alcohol because of poor water solubility, relatively high cost, narrow range recommended for education is m-triazinetrione acids as curing adhesive compositions. The use of such acids as postregulation unknown.

In addition, salts described only fall under the General formula and not described as individual compounds (except potassium salt); they are not given not only the methods of synthesis, but not even specified physico-chemical constants.
The aim of the invention is to obtain a water-soluble effective poststimulation that do not require prior bodrstvovaniya in alcohol, with a broad spectrum of activity and relatively inexpensive, as well as the synthesis and description of physico-chemical properties of sodium and ammonium salts SIMM-trainingabout Tricolori.

To the suspension a 4.86 g (0.01 mol) of 2,4,6-Tris(4-carboxyphenylazo)- 1,3,5-triazine in 10 ml of water, with stirring and at a temperature of 20-25oC added dropwise 3 ml of an aqueous solution containing 1.18 g (0,0295 mol) sodium hydroxide. The mixture is stirred for 1.5 h at the same temperature and filtered. The filtrate with stirring, added dropwise in 30 ml of acetone, precipitated precipitate is filtered, washed with 2 x 5 ml of ethanol and dried in vacuum at 50-60oC to constant weight. Get to 5.08 g (92%) Sebacina-1 in the form of a pale yellow powder, soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.

Example 2. 2,4,6-Tris[4'-carboxymethylamino(sodium)]-1,3,5 - triazine (Curaxin-1).
Under conditions analogous to example 1, from a 4.86 g (0.01 mol) 1,4,6-Tris(4-carboxyphenylazo)-1,3,5-triazine and 1.18 g (0,0195 mol) of caustic soda with the only difference that the reaction is carried out at 18-20 ml of water at 25-30oC, and the target salt visidot the addition of water to the filtrate in 40 ml of ethyl alcohol produced 5,135 g (93%) Sebacina-1 in the form of a pale yellow powder soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.
The results of elemental analysis and spectral characteristics obtained in these conditions Curaxin-1 corresponds to example 1.
Under conditions analogous to example 1, from a 4.86 g (0.01 mol) of 2,4,6-Tris(4-carboxyphenylazo)-1,3,5-triazine and 2.1 g (0.03 mol) of 25% aqueous ammonia solution obtain 4.8 g (89%0 Curaxin-2 in the form of a slightly yellowish powder with a decomposition temperature in air 362oC, soluble in water, N, N'-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide.

The salts triazinetrione acids (Curaxin-1 and Curaxin-2) is used as a means for presowing treatment of seeds of various crops, as postregulatory. When preparing aqueous solutions of salts concentration from 0.01 to 0.001 wt. and soaked in these solutions the seeds for 3 h were used For comparison aqueous solution indolylacetic acid (heteroauxin) concentration of 0.001 wt. which was prepared previously podesteria IAA in ethanol. As a second control used a variant with seed soaking for 3 h in distilled water.
The use of Covaccine as a means for presowing treatment of seeds, the initial concentration and properties of the seedlings are illustrated by examples about 4-47 presented in the table. The seeds were germinated in Petri dishes on constantly moist filter paper at 20-21oC for 25 days. Corresponding measurements of germination, root length and seedling conducted after 7 days, the number of germinated seeds on the 4th day was judged on vigor.
From the table it is seen that SAA treatment of seeds Suboxine in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.0001 wt. increases vigor (b-90 instead of 86,5%), germination (88-91 instead of 87%), provides an increase in the length of 7-day-old seedlings and roots (3-14 and 1.5-8.8%, respectively), while the IAA at a concentration of 0.001 wt. these figures are almost stimulates (except for the increase in root length and seedling 2.9 and 1.5% respectively compared with wet control).
In the case of wheat seeds (examples 15-25) pre-treatment with Covaccine in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.0001 wt. increases germination energy and germination (78-90 and 83-90% instead of 70 and 79%, respectively), and increases the length of shoots and roots (5-42,7 and 5.5-50% respectively), while the IAA these figures do not stimulate.
In the case of pea seeds (examples 26-36) processing Suboxine in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.0001 wt. little effect on the germination and germination energy, but increases the length of the 7-day-old seedlings and roots (on 10-40 and 7.7-28%, respectively), while the IAA on these indicators are not affected.
In the case of rice seeds (examples 37-47) pre-treatment with Covaccine in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.0001 wt. provides improved germination (83-90 instead of 79%) and increased length of 7-day-old seedlings and roots, the t parameters does not improve.
Thus, connections, and means for presowing treatment of seeds are more effective in comparison with their counterparts on the application and the structure and allow you to get from the available raw material is known, but a simple method is soluble in water postregulatory on the basis of which prepare the tool for pre-processing of agricultural crops. When this pre-sowing seed treatment with aqueous solutions of the claimed compounds can improve the germination and vigor, as well as to increase the length of 7-day-old roots and seedlings.

Justice and Multinational Federalism
Helder de Schutter
Doctoral student, Leuven
In this paper I critically examine existing normative theories of multinational federalism. I argue that many such theories succeed in demonstrating why justice requires granting national groups the right to self-government, but in the process fail to offer a normative grounding of the federal level of the multination state. Drawing on an extension of what Rawls calls "the fact of reasonable pluralism", I develop a suggestion to solve this normative lack, arguing that federalism should mainly be understood as a fair mechanism for dealing with cross-cutting and divergent identities.
Multiple Principles and the Obligation to Obey the Law [download paper]
Nkiruka Ahiauzu
Lecturer in Law, Department of Law, University of Wales at Aberystwuth
George Klosko's multiple principle theory of political obligation is a most recent formulation for the existence of a general obligation to obey the law, consisting of a combination of fair play, natural duty, and the common good. In the paper we argue that the generality requirement of the obligation to obey the law has normative and factual problems of, respectively, motivation and comprehensiveness. We aim to show that whereas the multiple principle theory may solve the factual problem of the generality requirement, it does not solve its normative problem, which is a first-personal implication of the question 'why should I obey the law?'

The Practice of Legal Validity [download paper]
Alexi Patsaouras
BPhil student, Magdalen College, Oxford
I will present a section of an M.Phil. dissertation in which I analyze Hart's practice theory of rules, and his distinction between moral and legal validity, in light of Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations and several strands in the private language argument. I will first quickly outline part of Cora Diamond's reading of Wittgenstein's attack on a truth conditional account of meaning and his attempt to get us to look at our practice of using words in order to unpack their meaning. I will then build on Joseph Raz's theory of authority in order to lay the groundwork for an attempt to flesh out the concept of legal validity, and its connection to moral reasons for action, through a study of the practice of applying that concept.

Reduce AX Cybersecurity Risks | D365 F&O Upgrade as a Service (Video)
By Mike Lamb July 17th, 2019
Tracey: Good afternoon, everyone. I want to welcome you to our webinar today from Encore Business Solutions. It's "How to reduce AX cybersecurity risks and upgrade costs." And joining me today are Mike Lamb and Sam Walters from our Dynamics F&O or Dynamics AX team, and they're going to be presenting two different programs we have. One is our Encore Cloud Uplift Program and the other one is our D365 F&O Upgrade as a Service. So I'm going to hand it over to them. Welcome, gentlemen.
Mike: Oh, it's great to be here. This is Mike Lamb, I'm the interim F&O practice lead here at Encore Business Solutions and have been doing AX implementations and upgrades to F&O and in AX for over six-plus years and spent some time as a CIO at a big retail distribution company. And this is a subject that has been near and dear to my heart in previous lives as a CIO when it comes to having equipment in my own data center when I was a CIO and or even a core location as everyone knows it. Security threats are out there and management of this infrastructure is becoming more and more immense and costly as time goes on they cost all these things yourselves. So, Sam, I'll let you introduce yourself real quick.
Sam: Sure. I'm Sam Walters. I've been working with AX and D365 for about 10 years now, and I kind of serve as our resident Azure expert.
Mike: Excellent. All right. We'll go ahead and get started. First of all, Melissa, if you want to go ahead and do the poll question and then we'll go ahead and get started.
Melissa: Okay. We'll let that run for a little bit.
Mike: Okay. If everyone wants to do the poll real quick then we'll go ahead and get started.
Melissa: Okay. Looks like the majority is no at the moment. The answer no.
Mike: Okay, all right. We'll go ahead and get started here. So we're gonna go over two of our offerings here at the Encore Cloud Uplift Program and D365 Finance and Operations upgrade as a service. So, we'll go ahead with these two things, so first, we'll go for the uplift program and then the upgrade as a service in two separate sections here. I'm going to go over the D365 Finance and Operations upgrade as a service offering. So, today, kind of like the underpinnings of the Windows servers and SQL Servers are facing the same thing. AX is facing end of life. There's a lot of folks who've just got on the 2012 platform or you're on 2009 and you're not ready to migrate yet. You know it's coming but you want to take a breather for a while. Microsoft's now offering incentives to buy the upgraded licenses now, and then what we're offering is to upgrade you later on. So, we're offering to allow you stay with your current environment, take you up to get you onto the Azure platform in your current environments if you want to or stay, and then, going forward, help you with the transition upgrade to Finance and Operations on a monthly fee. So we set up a monthly fee, I'll go into towards the end here, going forward. So you wouldn't have a big, huge initial upgrade cost, it would be kind of a monthly upgrade or a monthly service offering fee with unlimited support to your existing AX 2009, 2012 environments over a three year period and include the cost of upgrading built into the monthly payments over there.
So, with this, is stated the 2009, 2012 environments. There's, you know, no new features/functionality coming. Existing customizations are becoming more and more expensive going forward, and updates that are required. Anybody who's working on 2009, 2012, their customization and bug fixes are definitely hard to implement every time with your, before the full Best Practice Development Test UAT staging sandbox environments, all the way to production and keeping all that organized and testing and refreshed is a big chore these days. And underlying hardware are getting harder and harder to support, so, those underlying SQL Server and Windows Server versions are becoming out of date also.
So, here's kind of an overview of kind of the end of life. Really, the 2009 window is coming, you know, really close, you know, October 18th, 2018 ends mainstream support. There will be extended support through 2021, but that's really just the bare, any extended support, there's no new enhancements or anything like that, just the bare. If they find security issues they'll patch those. And then going all the way up, now we're at the F&O version of the tent platform of what they're kind of calling the "Evergreen" going forward. So, what this buys you now is, once you make the upgrade from your 2009 to 2012 to Finance and Operations, you'll have the ability, when you're doing customizations and those things, they've made it so Microsoft can go ahead and do updates and releases and it shouldn't impact any of your customizations you've done. So, the whole release process in 2009 was very painful. F&O, going forward, it's very seamless. They've built in the architecture here so when you're coding against finance and operations, doing any customizations of your own, it's really just external services you're touching, not the underlying code that they can upgrade going forward. So they can upgrade pretty much in near real-time and they do allow you to stay back on some of the upgrades to three to six months I think, and then you'll be forced to take them anyway. But it's a lot less intrusive as it was before the 2012 world.
So, kind of the reasons here to upgrade is taking advantage of the new features/functionality, as I was talking about. The updates are easily applied with the new "Evergreen" approach in F&O. Customizations are implemented as extensions, so, that helps minimize any issues with Microsoft updates going forward. And then the F&O, the big thing here is your finance and operations production environment is fully managed by Microsoft, so you actually don't have hands-on ability to touch it. It is truly managed by them, so, the uptime in your production environments greatly increase. There's not a lot of downtime or anything like that with those production environments that are managed by Microsoft. All the other environments, the Staging, Test, and Dev are AZURE hosted environments, so those you do have more control over and you can spin up, spin down, manage your costs too you if you will, so, if you don't want them up all the time you can spin them down and not get charged for them running constantly.
So, kind of going towards wrapping this up on the Financing and Operations upgrade as a service. Kind of what we're offering now is we've seen with our customers that they would like a more predictable monthly fee, so we'll set it up for a monthly fee going forward. You can control the pace of your upgrade, so, really, going forward, if you're not ready now you could sign up for this and we could…you'll get your sign up…get your F&O licenses, the 40% discount now I think it's until November 1st of 2019, and you can stay in your 2012 environment or 2009 environment right now and then dip your feet in the water a little bit in the F&Os;. You could spin up an F&O environment just for a little test environment, do a little training, get your users kind of used to it, that type of stuff, and then start working on the upgrade when it's convenient on your timeline, when you're ready and your business makes sense to actually do the upgrade from 2009 to 2012 to F&O. And then we offer four advisory hours every month as well as it's unlimited support for your existing AX 2012 environment, and when we get you up to F&O it's unlimited support there too.
So, this is kind of a little more detail, so, kind of the nuts and bolts of how this would work. You could sign a two year, three-year monthly upgrade limited which includes the unlimited support contract. Then we work with the customer on the upgrade from 2009-2012 to F&O, and we'll follow our same project methodology. So, there's no shortcuts here, it's the same proven iterative methodology here of what we found for success to upgrade from these older environments to F&O. And then you get unlimited support for AX 2009 2012 and F&O. So, kind of, this is an example, I know everybody's probably like pricing what would that look like for a monthly basis going forward. All right. This is just an example, so it varies by customer, so somebody like Tracy, you'd reach out to and then we could engage with yourselves out there and look at your environments. But just kind of a swag of kind of what it could look like is, we've gone to a module-based pricing. So, what this would be is a monthly based pricing. If you have GL, AP, AR, it might be like $4,000 a month. If you're using basic inventory that's another $2,000. If you're, and that's it, that's all you're doing. It's a pretty simple environment and that's gonna be about $6,000 a month over two years and that includes your existing unlimited support for your 2009 2012 environments as well as a whole entire upgrade from your older environment to F&O going forward. And then it varies here depending on other modules that are more complex, advanced warehouse management and production/MRP. You have other integrations, ISVs that you have that are more complex or less complex, we kind of price them out and add that into the monthly fee also.
So, that's kind of the F&O upgrade as a service offering. And, Sam, did you have anything to add on either one of those?
Sam: As far as the F&O as a service, no. I would say that that…the biggest thing with that is just that it's a consistency of cost instead of getting hit with that large price tag upfront, or even milestone pricing. It's a much more smooth and simple way to ease your way into D365 FO.
Mike: All right. So, Tracey, I'll turn it back over to you here and I open the floor if there's any questions.
Melissa: Did we lose Tracey?
Melissa: Melissa here, I'll just take a look at the question pane, and, anyone, feel free to put some questions in there if you have any. Not seeing anything coming in for now. Did you want to close it off then, Mike?
Mike: Yes, yeah. Yeah, so, I want to thank everybody for attending today on this webinar here and going through the F&O as an upgrade as a service and the Cloud Uplift Service offerings here. Hope you gained some benefit, knowledge of something along the way on the migration to Azure from your existing environments or from AX 2012 end of life, especially around security risks and that type of stuff, and go into F&O, the transition, going forward. Definitely reach out to us if you have any questions after this and we'd be happy to do a follow up with you. We really appreciate everyone's time. Thank you.
Melissa: Thanks, everyone.

My biggest issue is with the lack of Order By options (only 1 field at a time, and a very limited set of fields to choose from).  I have done some Google searches, but I can't find any good free BugZilla reporting tools.
If there isn't one, can someone please point me to an example on how to access the BugZilla web services?  If I can get the BugZilla data, then I can easily build my own reports that will better meet our needs.

A: Take a look at this: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bugzilla/dbdoc.html
Use this database schema for reference:  faqs.org/docs/bugzilla/dbschema.html
If you need a web-interface, use your favorite dynamic website scripting language that can access MySQL databases (say PHP)...
Simple-ish Tutorial:  freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/4
PHP MySQL API Reference:  php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php
Then use SQL queries such as:
"SELECT * FROM bugs WHERE WHERE bug_status != 'RESOLVED' ORDER BY creation_ts ASC, votes DESC LIMIT 50"
which lists first 50 entries of unresolved bugs ordered first ascending creation time then descending by number of votes.

A: I have used this in the past and have liked it a lot: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bugzilla_Reports

A: You can also consider other tool eg mantis
(http://www.mantisbt.org/)
I've personally switched from Bugzilla into Mantis and installed some plugins (http://deboutv.free.fr/mantis/) and found this more comfortable

A: If you are a Java user, you might want to check out Mylyn for eclipse. This is integrates a task-driven development approach into eclipse.
With that, you can raise bugs, tie together SVN changes and bugs, and hide classes that are not relevant to fixing bugs, etc. It's a bit involved to get started with, but quite powerful.
It also comes with a connector for BugZilla. See this introductory article for an example.
If you don't use eclipse, but you do use Java, then note that since Mylyn is open-source, you might want to look at the source code of the Mylyn BugZilla connector for how they do their work.
Good luck.

A: You can try Deskzilla (http://deskzilla.com/) - it is a multi-platform desktop client for Bugzilla with Outlook-like interface, rich reporting and filtering capabilities, offline work, drag-n-drop, etc. It's a commercial product, but if you're working on an Open Source project you can use it for free.

A: AFAIK Bugzilla uses MySQL database for storing data. So probably you can connect with some visual db manager (plenty of it exists, see Toad Data Modeler, DbVisualizer) and try do do some sql work...

A: There is a list of some add-ons (free and commercial) listed on the Buzilla addons wiki.
If you are a Windows user, MyZilla is a possible option.
Otherwise, to work toward your own, see the Bugzilla API documentation, which, in a way, includes how to retrieve the current schema (Bugzilla::DB::Schema), and Bugzilla::WebService.

A: Netbeans also has Bugzilla integration (I haven't tried it...).

A: I have analized a bunch of bug tracking tools.
You can try track or mantis, because bugzilla is very unfriendly about reporting.
Mantis
Mantis can export data in excel: all the graphic you need can be generated by that sheet.
For more information take a look to my blog:
http://gioorgi.com/2008/bug-tracking-mantis/
Anyway, Track is used a lot more, so for sake of completeness I should cite it:
Track
Pros:
Can Also work with an embedded database (using sqlite).
Easy to setup and use.
Cons:
Feature are too much, and aims to be also a CMS to some extend.
Take a look to:
http://gioorgi.com/2008/bug-tracking-trac/

A: Since Bugzilla can be installed on your own server, I presume the simplest way is to do that and play with the databases it creates ("Bugzilla supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle as database servers"). The documentation also says you can modify the templates as you like.
Otherwise one could try paid support or some other bug trackers.

A: I use this bookmarklet and like how it searches right with the strings entered in the location bar like smart search. It lets you quickly search bugzilla or jump to a bug number via Bugzilla Quicksearch, and is IE6+, Moz, Op7+ compatible.
Its companions on the same page can be used to refine or help with bug search/report, e.g. collect buglinks (queries bugzilla to show a list of bugs linked to from the current page),ord buglinkify (turns all numbers on the page into bug links).

Failing Forward: Innovative Approaches to Improve Reproductive Health in Senegal
By Lydia Trupe
University College London Nudgeathon: Can We Hit Refresh on our Domestic Travel Habits in Light of COVID-19?
Our Top Behavioral Science Highlights of the Year (Goodbye, 2020)
How to Mobilize Your Future Self
Utilizing Pre-COVID Behavioral Designs During a Pandemic: Experiences of Kenya's National Cash Transfer Beneficiaries
In any given field, the top 10% of performers produce more than 50% of the big breakthroughs. What is the key to these superstars' success? Fortunately for most of us, the answer is not raw talent or even expertise. The truth is, these top performers produce as many bad ideas as everyone else—but, crucially, they learn from their failures and continue to innovate. Iteration has been shown to improve performance across a range of fields. You'll hear this right from the source, too—Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Arianna Huffington, and other entrepreneurs have said publicly that their platforms achieved success through experimentation.
But experimentation happens behind the scenes. Null results are almost never published, and failures are rarely publicized. When all you see is the end result of innovation, it can seem straightforward. Nevertheless, while successes are what made these innovators famous, failures are what got them there. At ideas42, we're acutely aware of the importance of failure—it's a great way to design effective solutions that work for real people.
For example, we've been working with IntraHealth International and the Senegalese Ministry of Health and Social Action since 2014 to support reproductive health in Senegal, and we've faced many challenges in designing a solution that has the potential to increase use of family planning services across an entire nation. In Senegal, more than 22% of postpartum women wish to delay their next pregnancy by at least two years yet are not using a modern method of family planning. Integrating family planning services with child immunization service shows potential as a high impact practice, particularly in countries like Senegal where nearly all women bring their children to a health facility for at least one vaccination. Knowing this, we set out to optimize the integration of these two services to create an enabling environment for new mothers to make key decisions about their family's health—including if, when and how they might delay their next pregnancy.
After a few rounds of design iteration and user testing, we ended up with a two-part intervention design.
First, a referral card given to each client during routine immunization visits prompts clients to plan a time to talk with a health worker about family planning. These small referral cards include images of immunization, breastfeeding, and birth spacing conversations. Corresponding job aids provide health workers with simple, actionable key messages about each of these topics. This reframes the purpose of the visit as a 'family health' visit—not just immunization.
Second, women can enroll to receive regular recordings on their phones, delivered just before scheduled immunization visits. These message take the form of a serial drama with stories that correct misperceptions about family planning, provide rules of thumb about when family planning use is appropriate, and offer clear and actionable steps for women who want to take up family planning. In addition, health workers receive weekly interactive voice messages that remind them how to address clients' concerns about a variety of health topics. These interventions provide a clear channel for health workers to provide guidance about family planning to postpartum women and to help these women follow through on their intentions.
It's an innovative solution that addresses all of the behavioral bottlenecks we identified with our partners after talking to many women on the ground in Senegal. But that isn't where we started. Our first iteration was a series of activities to include in family planning causeries—informal talks held in the waiting areas of health facilities across the country—which included a curriculum of key messages to address misperceptions about family planning. Our second design was an extensive postpartum health checklist that would prompt health workers to discuss several important health issues with clients during each immunization visit. We were enthusiastic about the potential of these ideas—and then we ran our first experiment.
We user-tested our two design ideas with postpartum women and health workers, and as was expected, both design ideas included successful components, but both had failures as well. While both clients and health workers liked the clear, actionable messages about family planning, the very busy and public environment of a causerie was not the best context in which to provide complex, important information to women. Plus, causeries were not a reliable way to reach people—we learned that some health facilities hold regular causeries, while others hold them irregularly or not at all. In the absence of these causeries, women face no clear moment of choice during which they must decide whether to take up family planning. And while health workers liked the comprehensive postpartum checklist and the discussions it prompted, they found the checklist too long and rather cumbersome to use.
With this project—like many others!—not all of our ideas worked. But with each 'failed' design idea, we kept the best parts and reworked the rest. We used data—feedback from women and health workers—to learn from each attempt. Iteration brought us new ways of addressing the key behavioral bottlenecks that prevent women who want to delay pregnancy from accessing family planning services. We conducted a pilot test in October 2017 to ensure that our design was feasible and acceptable to both clients and health workers, which it was on both counts, and we are about to launch a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of the design on family planning and immunization rates.
This process was not unusual at all. The Wright brothers crashed the first airplane they tried to fly. It took Thomas Edison over 1,000 attempts to invent the first commercial lightbulb. As Edison pointed out, 'failed' experiments are not truly failures, rather, they are opportunities to collect data, learn, and improve until an idea finally works. These failures are a small price to pay if it means that we can find a way to positively impact the lives of women and their families.

Baby Business Boss from Hell
by Smiling Fighter
(Sydney)
I was running a number of country units for a baby business (YEP!) in Europe. Joining this "lifestyle" company my then boss already proved to be extremely disorganized, divide and conquerish, plus sexually harassing and demoting staff on a regular basis. I witnessed this from day one as he called me into his office and made it clear that I should exclude such-and-such from my attention but should get as much information from her as possible as he would fire her in due course. Needless to say I was shocked! I was speechless that very moment as it was day 1 but reality-checked with a colleague who had joined this meeting. She confirmed his divide and conquer strategies and warned me that this was his way to control information amongst people as it was a small company and him being the owner he wanted to stay "on top" (irony of the word...). I then (1) challenged him verbally in a non-confrontational way by asking questions, hoping to lead him to a more sensible behavior. (2) I put it down in writing in my weekly report that I would object to such behavior. (3) Informed HR (4) I informed his target person and ensured her I would stay on neutral grounds for now but would support her if need be. But that was only the start. It grew a lot worse!
Being a startup run and owned by this guy and his unethical methods the business was very dysfunctional. As on the surface it´s a well-known international lifestyle brand everyone patted everyone´s back but underneath it was cutthroat. I became the boss of a team that already had a (ring)leader who then bullied me with her group as she had expected a promotion and had likewise been bullied by the owner. I felt compassion for her and the team and did my best to listen to them, support them, but likewise provide managerial structure and fair measuring standards so they could quantify their successes towards HQ. But my predecessor was probably also a borderliner (which I hadn´t come across before). So despite my efforts of making it a better place to work at it all backfired with the silent treatment, exclusion, falsified or withheld information, collusion with customers and HQ colleagues etc.
BTW for the owner, one "efficient" means of controlling people was to sound out customers and play them off against employees in a ruthless staged way, completely wearing you out as he would set you up NEVER to win, they WANTED to exhaust you (needless to say that the same denunciation culture perfectly worked inside the company as well). So the team wouldn´t support me. But also HQ wouldn´t. And neither would my boss (surprise!) on whatever project or daily work I had to tackle. Imagine this with goals that were three times as high as your predecessor´s and that you were fixed on those early when joining and having insufficient information (I pointed out they were impossibly high but whatever!). Plus no training AT ALL: everything I learned in this company from day 1, IT, industry workings or internal processes I taught myself by putting in extra hours. For more than a year (!!!) I worked double shifts (thousands of hours...). But even better: I also found out that the sexually harassed girl wouldn´t help, because (surprise!) she was actually PART of the game...
When after a year a new boss arrived I was thrilled. He was sympathetic, gave me hope, relieved me from this excessive revenue budget. For exactly 2 weeks. Then, unnoticed by naive me, he sounded me out, did the love-bombing thing (which I confronted very early but soon turned into heavy sexual harassment), had my team undermined and set up against me, constantly gave contradictory assignments, used different information for me and others, piled up work on my shoulders (fewer staff, more work, tighter deadlines, confusing or withheld information), exhausted and demoted me to the extreme etc. By the time I realised that he was the "evil enemy" though, my team and senior management were already on his side and game over. I was so exhausted that I could only FUNCTION, barely think. I was an independent successful person and he simply couldn´t stand it. I was also easy prey as I had been so easily been fixed to these excessive revenue goals which I had proved being unrealistic right from the start. So in the end they called it underperformance. Good for me though that I had mirrored and thus copies of every single file and email I had ever written in this company so I could press charges.
Interesting to point out, that already briefly afterwards staff were being sent to "courses", were completely terrified by a surveillance and denunciation culture that became more and more established with email, internet and phone usage being monitored. This felt like big brother more than once... The Wikipedia information on "mind control" might help you in addition to bullying resources to understand this... :o)

JULIA HARTLEY-BREWER: First up, a fascinating story that I wanted to get to, because it was something that did concern me at the time, this is something that went back all the way to the end of August last year, a couple of months, of course, after the Brexit vote. Now, Nigel Farage, one of the keen, leading figures of the Brexit campaign was somebody who was accused of having 'blood on his hands' after, we were told, there had been an increase in violence against EU migrants and indeed migrants from other parts of the world in the wake of the Brexit attack (sic) this was reported repeatedly on the BBC, and in particular, on August 31, news broke that a Polish immigrant in Harlow had been killed. Rumours circulated that it was a gang of feral youths who were responsible, and that it could have been a racist attack, because he was Polish and triggered by Brexit. This was reported on by the BBC repeatedly. But, last Friday we had the sentencing at Chelmsford Crown Court of the youth responsible for that man's death, and now we know the full story, and it's really rather different. So I've invited David Keighley on, he's the managing director of the media monitoring company News-watch, and himself a former BBC producer who has written about this. Now, and to tell us the full story, David – thank you very much for joining us.
DAVID KEIGHLEY: Good morning and thank you very much for having me on the programme.
JHB: Well, thank you very much for talking to us. I saw your article you wrote on this online yesterday and I wanted to ask you about this, because it is something . . . it was a report that, I suppose, I accepted on face value when I heard the reports but talk us through what happened and what the reporting claimed. And then, if you could outline for us what actually were the real, objectively true events that have now been proven in a court of law?
DK: Right, yes, basically, this man, Mr Jozwik who was a Polish man living in Harlow, well-liked by all accounts, was killed in a . . . after a fracas of sorts, late night, few days before the reports broke out. He banged his head and a couple of days later the story broke. Basically, what the BBC said that evening, very excitedly and very sensationally was that he had died after what some were saying was 'a frenzied race hate attack' following, or 'triggered by' – was the exact phrase – the Brexit vote. Now . . .
JHB: But was this just the BBC claiming this, or did other news outlets claim the same.
DK: Yeah, no, other outlets also took that line, though to a lesser extent than the BBC. And of course, the BBC has got extra responsibilities as a public service broadcaster to check out the facts before reporting something quite so sensationally. Now, to be fair, the report, the main report on the 6 o'clock news did have the alternative theory that this was youths and nothing to do with Brexit, but the overriding impression in the reports, the sensationalist side of it was that this was a race hate attack. And that was added to by John Sweeney, later on in the evening, on Newsnight, and he actually interviewed a friend, or someone who was said to be a friend of the killed . . . the dead man, who said, as you said in your intro, that Nigel Farage . . . he said, 'Thank you Nigel Farage, you now have blood on your hands.' Now this wasn't a live interview, it was a package, it was recorded, so John Sweeney deliberately included that in the report that he presented that evening, and there were lots of other lines about the level of race hate going on.
JHB: And we have discovered since that a lot of research into what was now considered to be these supposedly race hate crimes, but actually that doesn't even have to have been even a police investigation, there doesn't even have to have been a complaint from the person who was supposedly the victim, it is an entirely subjective view of a person who may have just been an onlooker, an exchange between two friends where there was a . . . perhaps there was a word used that perhaps most of us wouldn't use in our daily lives, someone else might say, 'Well, I thought that was racist' – they can report it to the police, whether there's an investigation, any conviction or anything at all, any charges brought, that now stands as a race crime that has been reported and there stands in the stats?
DK: Absolutely, it's a self-report crime, which is almost unique on the British statute books. For the police to record such a crime there has to be . . . there need not be any evidence whatsoever, it's just that somebody perceives there's been an offence. Now, what's happened subsequently is that, first of all the police . . . the point was on the day, the police said they hadn't ruled out race as a motive, but any journalist knows that if you ask the police when they're opening an investigation if they've ruled anything out, they will routinely say, 'No, we're looking at all possibilities' – they don't know, so they're cautious. The BBC weren't cautious in their approach . . .
JHB: No, but what's emerged when it came out in court with the actual sentencing, and a 16-year-old has eventually been sentenced to 3 years in a youth detention centre, not for murder, but for manslaughter, but it's also emerged, categorically accepted in court by all sides that the gang, so-called gang involved, didn't instigate this incident which led to the punch, but they, the defendant and his friends were provoked, and that this man, the man who sadly lost his life was very drunk and very aggressive with a bunch of his friends, and had actually started the fight, very taunting, very aggressive towards this bunch of young youths, and they had made, themselves, racist remarks to the youths and invited violence from the youngsters, and that was when the punching, the punch happened and then very sadly this Polish man died. So, in no way was this a racist attack on a Polish immigrant because of anything to do with Brexit, it wasn't a racist attack at all, on the contrary it was a youth who felt that he was under attack himself.
DK: Yes. That sums it up very neatly. And the point was that however you look at this, it was nothing to do with what the BBC actually reported. Now, as I say, the BBC has responsibilities as a public service organisation, special responsibilities to do with impartiality and getting balance in their reporting, and yet when the sentencing hearing happened on Friday and all these final facts emerged, that it was the polar opposite of what had been said, what did they do? They had, basically, one piece on their website which was on their Essex section, so it wasn't even the national part of the website, and it didn't mention their role in their reporting. This was surely a case where they should have done a full apology, they should have outlined that they'd got it wrong, that this was not anything to do with race hate. People are saying that what they did last August amounted to racial provocation by them and yet . . .
JHB: But . . .
DK: . . . and yet, they've just glossed it over as if they've done nothing . . .
JHB: (speaking over) But this is the interesting thing, the attempts to get newspapers to make sure that they give correct reporting and that they correct mistakes and they apologise when they get things wrong would require a newspaper that's signed up to that plan, post-Leveson, for them to give exactly the same prominence to that story, to do the correction, not a small, little 'news in brief' on page 16, it would have to be a full page apology, effectively, in a newspaper, on the front page, probably, equivalent. And I remember, certainly, how prominent that story was and its been brought up in debate after debate in the last year, when people say, 'Well, yes, but, you know, all those racists who voted Leave and how they all started being more racist because of the Brexit vote, and isn't it your fault?' – I mean, I personally have had tweets from people saying that I'm partly responsible for Joe Cox being murdered. I know Nigel Farage has had those, because I've spoken to him about it. Now he has actually asked for an apology on this himself, hasn't he?
DK: Indeed, yes, he . . . on his show on your rival station – perhaps not rival, your . . .
JHB: (speaking over) We don't know who they are!
DK: Yes, he actually said he wants an apology from the Director General of the BBC, Tony Hall. And it will be very interesting to see now how the BBC reacts, because of course, they so often just brush off complaints, they pretend that they have done balanced reporting when they haven't, there's loads of evidence of that on the News-watch website. And, it's just an endemic, systemic problem in the BBC. They are incapable of admitting their own errors, and the bias seems so deeply entrenched now in their Brexit coverage.
JHB: Well, I mean, there's been lots of complaints about this recently, haven't there, and there've been, you know, formal complaints from the Conservatives, because we know during election periods, during referendum periods, I mean, there are strict laws. I don't work for the BBC, I'm allowed to give my own opinion but not during election campaign periods, I mean, I quite, absolutely . . . as much as it's tying my hands behind my back, I completely agree with it as someone who believes in democracy, that we shouldn't be having bias, but I mean, it is something . . . and I say as someone who loves the BBC and does a lot of work for the BBC as well, freelance, that I am stunned on a daily basis by their reporting on this issue. But then, is it that 'I would say that wouldn't I, because I'm a Brexiteer, and you would say that, wouldn't you, because you're a Brexiteer, and Nigel Farage would say that, wouldn't he, because you're a Brexiteer' – isn't it the case that everyone sees bias against their own personal viewpoint?
DK: Of course that's true to an extent, but again, if you go to our News-watch website, the way we measure bias is not just on an impressionistic basis, we look at coverage over a long-term period, we do it properly and academically. And basically, what we've looked at is, for example, the Today programme's Business News coverage after Brexit, and . . . for the six months after Brexit, every single edition, and transcribed every single word that was said, and the amount of . . . the number of people who have appeared on the programme who were pro-Brexit was minuscule, the numbers are so small as to be vanishing. They just are not taking into account properly pro-Brexit opinion.
JHB: Well, we shall see, David Keighley, thank you for talking to us, managing director of the media monitoring company News-watch, he's a former BBC producer himself. I wanted to highlight that because, you know, I was as horrified as everyone else, I think, at the thought that there could be an increase in violence and certainly racist violence, violence against EU migrants, that wasn't . . . that wasn't what the Brexit campaign was about, that's got nothing to do with Brexit, nothing whatsoever, and I really object to any racist hijacking [of] a cause for democracy, to carry out such crimes. It would appear that they just haven't been those crimes, and claims that there have are just totally unfair. I absolutely, if I was the Director General of the BBC, Tony Hall, I would issue that apology, because I think, you know, you've got to admit when you get it wrong, and we don't always get it right.


The ASEAN Mayors Forum (AMF) will take place in the provincial capital of Makassar in South Sulawesi next 9-11 September 2015. This event will be co-hosted by Makassar City Government and United Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific (UCLG ASPAC).
