Ken went into the hospital in September 2020 for a spinal fusion. Though the surgery went well, hospital staff were concerned about his lower spine's appearance, and Ken developed a fever. Hallucinations set in. With a fever of 105.3 degrees, Ken went into septic shock. His organs shut down and the infection spread to his heart. He was put into a medically-induced coma, and was put on a ventilator and feeding tube in the intensive care unit.
Ken's family was in the waiting room. The hospital staff told them to prepare for the worst – they were told that he may not make it through the night. Nine days later, Ken woke up from the coma.
After Ken's doctors performed a second emergency surgery on him – they found the source of infection and gave him an antibiotic that saved his life. His doctors told him it was a miracle he survived.
He didn't take that miracle lightly. He decided to use his miracle to help others in the community.
Ken created a Facebook group – WNY Thrive (Local Business Promotion) – in February 2021 – now a forum of 6,000 members. According to Ken, WNY Thrive is a consortium of like-minded small business owners, consumers and charitable organizations where positive collaboration, networking and advertising is encouraged. Many large groups do not allow advertisements for products, services or fundraisers, but Ken's group embraces it.
"I was inspired to make a greater contribution because I started to see things I didn't see before, and I was eternally grateful just to be alive," Ken said. "I saw someone unfairly bashing a local business on social media, and that's when the idea hit me to start a group to support local businesses and give them a means to collaborate and advertise at no cost."
In this group, small businesses promote their services, and those seeking services post to the group to find local businesses to help them. Companies have shared furniture sales, home repairs and landscaping, screen printing and more. When new people join the group, Ken and his team personally welcome each new member, too.
Ken, who also works as vice president of information systems at Rich Products, made the connection to expand beyond small business and include community collaboration through charities and fundraisers. He also consistently posts about individuals' accomplishments.
Ken leads by example, too! He's currently renovating his home, and vendors he met through the Thrive group are working on his roof, siding and painting his cabinets.
WNY Thrive has grown beyond the Facebook group, and on April 28, Ken is hosting his first in-person business networking event, called "Thrive Hive," featuring vendors from his forum, music and food. All the proceeds from this event will benefit a cause that is important to Ken – the 11 Day Power Play.
Ken is a lead volunteer, and even won "Volunteer Of The Year," for his work with the 11 Day Power Play. The 11DPP is a hockey game that lasts 11 consecutive days with the proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish Western New York, Camp Good Days and Special Times and The Roswell Park & Oishei Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Program. Being a thyroid cancer survivor himself, Ken and his daughter, Hannah have raised more than $35,000 for the cause.
"I've seen the best side of humanity [since I started the group]," Ken said. "People want to help others if you give them a chance … I love taking my experience … and helping others succeed. I'm at my best when I'm helping others, or volunteering my time for a worthy cause."

IS BEING EXHAUSTED AT WORK AS DANGEROUS AS BEING DRUNK AT WORK?
For some workers, going to work chronically fatigued might be more dangerous than being at work drunk, according to a sleep expert speaking at the IAM141 2017 Safety Conference this week.
Mike Harnett is the Vice President of Human Factors for SIX Safety Systems and specializes in fatigue management. She has over 25 years of experience with IAM-represented organizations like NASA, as well as airport, rail, trucking, nuclear, manufacturing, mining, energy and first responder industries.
Airline union activists, managers, and safety advocates learned a surprising fact this week. Working with chronic, accumulative fatigue is more dangerous than working while moderately intoxicated – a lot more dangerous.
Mike Harnett, a featured speaker at the Conference, knows just how harmful a lack of sleep can be. She is an expert on the subject of fatigue management and sleep deprivation, and her research on the topic has provided valuable guidance to groups and organizations such as NASA, airports, transportation companies and labor groups such as the IAM.
"BEING AWAKE IS NOT ENOUGH"
With news reports of baggage handlers falling asleep in the underbellies of the planes they are working, only to awaken after take-off, sleeplessness has already become a severe issue for air carriers. Airport workers need high levels of physical athleticism, mental focus, and situational awareness to do their jobs safely. And, when the safety of the flying public is also taken into account, the need to avoid the kinds of impairments that come with knocking back a few beers before work is a no-brainer.
Yet, unlike being a little tipsy at work, it can be hard for employers and even workers to wake up to the dangers of chronic sleep deprivation. Nevertheless, the problem should be taken seriously, according to Harnett. Especially in the case of airport workers, who are uniquely vulnerable to the damage that can be caused by the effects of fatigue.
"IMPAIRED IS IMPAIRED"
Meanwhile, the symptoms of sleep deprivation are almost identical to intoxication. Loss of situational awareness, underestimation of risk, hindered visual perception, and reduced reaction times are all symptomatic of both drunkenness and fatigue.
Peer-reviewed studies have consistently demonstrated that a person who has been awake for only 17 hours has the equivalent impairment of a person with a blood-alcohol level of .05%. (In many states, a blood-alcohol level of .08% is enough to result in a DUI arrest.) Those who have stayed awake from 5:00 AM to 2:00 in the morning without sleeping will have reached a .08% blood alcohol level of impairment, and those who have gone without rest for 24 hours can expect an equivalent impairment of .1%. ??"Impaired is impaired," Mike Harnett told the crowd of some 120 union activists and company managers. "If you are impaired because you're drunk, or if you have these same impairments due to fatigue, you are creating the same hazard."
Fatigue is one of the most common causes of airline accidents, with most airport injuries happening early in the morning and late at night when workers are the most tired.
BETTER UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED
Fixing the problem will require more than a nap. Harnett says that those suffering from chronic fatigue cannot accurately determine if they have reached a dangerous level of sleep deprivation. Even worse, the problem is rampant, with strong majorities of Americans completely unaware of the danger of chronic fatigue. Airport workers who must work sleep-defying shifts late at night or very early in the morning, and who get hit with mandatory overtime and inconsistent days off on a regular basis may be even more at risk than the overall population.
Harnett suggests that the solution to accidents caused by chronic fatigue will require a long-term partnership between workers and companies. Companies will need to begin understanding that fatigue can be a real threat and not merely a discipline issue. Company managers often think of sleep as a personal issue that shouldn't be factored into the work environment. In many cases, travel times to and from work are not factored into the space between work shifts. At many airlines, workers are severely punished for napping at the workplace before or after shifts. These policies need to change, Harnett says.
But, a lot of the burden is going to fall on the shoulders of airline workers themselves. There are real dangers associated with chronic fatigue, and most of these problems can be solved with better sleep.

Q: Received Memory warning in iPad 1 but working fine in iPad 2 & 3 Recently i have updated my app to support iOS 7.0 but now my app is not working in iPad 1(iOS 5.1.1) and its working fine in iPad 2(iOS 6.1.3) and iPad 3(iOS 7.0).
Right now i am running my app with instruments to improve performance but i am not able to understand that same code not generating memory in iPad 2 & 3 and create problem in iPad 1 only. so whenever i modified code, i need to check in all 3 devices and some of the code is not working in iPad 2(iOS 6.1.3)
I have implemented custom tabbar controller to match iOS 7.0 design in iOS 6 & 5. i am planning to modify to remove custom tababr and implement UITabBarController instead of that.
Let me know is there any easy solution for that or any alternative to solve this problem. do i need to reinstall iOS in iPad 1 or is there any hardware related problem with my iPad 1?

A: Your problem is that iPad 1 has less memory than iPad2 or iPad3 so memory warning is provoked before. If you want to run your App in iPad 1 you need to improve your memory management. I recommend you that you watch the "Fixing Memory Issue" in https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/videos/.
Good luck!

How South American Health Care Practices Continue to Work Safely During COVID-19
Posted by Les Trachtman on Jun 30, 2020 6:00:00 AM
More than two million COVID-19 cases have been recorded and more than 100,000 people have died in Latin America according to the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. When it comes to healthcare, workers continue to man the front lines and do their best to serve their patients.
When COVID-19 first struck, Purview sprang into action. We offered one of our products, software for remote diagnostic image viewing, free of charge for healthcare workers around the globe. But healthcare goes beyond traditional doctors and patients, and for Purview this also includes forensics and veterinarians.
In Latin America, two of the organizations that adopted Purview Image during the pandemic were Abanimal Imágenes Diagnósticas in Bogatá, Columbia and Instituto de Radiología in São Paulo, Brazil.
Helping Veterinarians
Abanimal Imágenes Diagnósticas, is the first veterinary diagnostic imaging center for small animals in Colombia. Abanimal provides services in the city of Bogatá At the start of the pandemic in March, the veterinary imaging practice had to change its way of working.
Dr. Daniel Navarrete, the General Manager and Veterinary Radiologist said: "By reducing our on-site staff, the technologist acquires the images in the normal fashion; a veterinarian performs the ultrasound exam. But then our radiologist reads radiology and tomography studies remotely, from their home, using the PURVIEW platform. Our interns and assistants, also from home, prepare the headings and preliminaries of these reports. With this change in technology, we have all been able to continue working without unduly exposing ourselves to the virus. This system has facilitated our work and has allowed us to continue providing service to veterinary doctors who require our diagnoses for their patients."
We and the pet-owners in Bogota are thankful that Dr. Navarrete and his team can safely continue to deliver their excellent care during this pandemic.
Making Autopsy Scans Accessible
Instituto de Radiología, based in São Paulo, performs minimally invasive autopsies on COVID-19 infected patients to improve the understanding of the disease's mechanisms, a critically important function that may help improve the prognosis for future infected patients.
Dr. Ellison Cardoso stated: "At InRad, we used Siemens Virtual Operation Center to operate and acquire images from CT scans and then send them to the Purview platform. Ultrasound-guided biopsies are the only procedure performed locally. But with Purview remote access, we have been able to more safely review these minimally invasive autopsies through imaging in COVID patients. Using Purview, Our radiologists can safely evaluate images and see the corresponding biopsy findings while staying remote.
We salute Dr. Cardoso and his team for staying safe while playing an important role on the front lines of this battle with COVID-19.
These are just two examples of how Purview technology is helping healthcare workers on the frontline in South America and across the globe to continue to operate while providing a safer environment during this pandemic crisis.

Home Fintech Deloitte: data around the dearth of women fintech founders– and fundraising trends
Deloitte: data around the dearth of women fintech founders– and fundraising trends
A dearth of women founders
In the world of startups, the global fintech founder community is still dominated by men, with women making up just 7% of the total pool.1 If further progress is to be made, investors and the financial services industry alike will need to reconsider the efforts they've made before a more financially and socially equitable future can be realized.
Some current fintech companies are opening more opportunities for women to bring them higher up the chain until they're entirely at the top. One example is EOS, the first female-founded block producer on the EOS network. It's a team of female industry leaders furthering tech development, specifically to teleport other cryptos to EOS. Their work has contributed to EOS.IS blockchain growth as seen here in a recent EOS crypto price prediction and history. But there are still many steps before equity is achieved.
In this report, the fourth in our Within reach series, we study formation and fundraising trends in the fintech industry over the last 10 years across three categories of startups: women-founded, men-founded, and cofounded (startups with founders of both genders). Based on preliminary numbers, we also analyze the impact of COVID-19 on fintech funding activity during the first half of 2020 across the three categories.
The gender gap in funding is especially notable during times of uncertainty, such as the current pandemic and its economic aftermath. This is because women founders, perhaps because of the hardships they face in accessing funds, appear to be resilient and capable of generating higher returns on investment.2 Yet, in many cases, they are not provided equal access to opportunity.3 As with other industries, women in the fintech community are seeking opportunities to fill unmet needs. They are generating innovative ideas and creating solutions based on their own disappointing or frustrating financial services experiences.4 Ellevest, Tala, Policygenius, CapWay, and Honeybee were all founded to tap into consumers' unmet needs.
Having greater representation of women and support from the fintech founder community would likely unleash more successful new ideas, products, and services.5 Similar to how the fintech industry blossomed after the 2008 financial crisis, the effects from COVID-19 and its disruption to the business environment could help level the playing field and offer a host of new opportunities for women entrepreneurs.
To make that aspiration a reality, though, three key stakeholders in the fintech ecosystem—investors, founders, and financial institutions—will have to join forces and commit to change. They will need to work together to help enable equal access to all forms of capital: human, financial, and social.
"This Deloitte report calls attention to a gaping investment opportunity to fund and collaborate with female founders of fintech enterprises. First, however, these women need to be highly visible to investors and networked to each other. Industry associations and organizations can play a helpful role with this, both in underscoring the mandate for greater diversity in investment capital placement and in elevating the female founder's exposure within the industry."
—Amanda Pullinger, CEO, 100 Women in Finance
Slow steps in the right direction
The fintech industry has made slow but steady progress increasing the number of startups founded by women. Since the start of this decade, women-founded and cofounded fintechs have grown at a slightly faster clip compared to startups founded only by men (figure 1; see sidebar, "Methodology" for more details): They reached 369 in 2019, growing eight-fold, while men-founded startups grew seven-fold. As a result, fintechs with women as founders or cofounders now comprise 12.2% of the total startups vs. 10.9% a decade ago. However, this is limited progress indeed. Startups with all-women founding teams accounted for 3.1% of the pool in 2019, a small improvement from 2.4% in 2010.
When gauging success in achieving gender equity, another key metric to evaluate is how the needle has moved on startup funding. Encouragingly, the numbers also show a shift in the investing landscape, with more dollars being directed toward women-founded and cofounded fintechs. Startups founded by all women teams have recorded a consistent increase in funding since 2014. Moreover, during the last five years, funding for women-founded startups grew at a compound annual growth rate of 58.9%, while funding for men-founded grew by 29.1%.
In fact, 2019 broke all records (figure 2):6 Startups founded and cofounded by women garnered a total of US$5.1 billion in funding—almost 60% of the total capital raised by these categories since 2009.7 Of that total, US$540 million was invested in startups founded only by women, up from just US$85 million in 2015. However, it should be noted that Starling Bank and Tala accounted for 60% of the total investment in fintechs with women-only founding teams in 2019. Similarly, the cofounded startups Kabbage and Lendable raised a combined US$2 billion during the year.
As a proportion of the total, just 1.3% of the US$40 billion funding raised in 2019 went to companies founded only by women, up from 0.6% (of US$14 billion) in 2015. Meanwhile, startups with at least one woman cofounder witnessed a more pronounced increase. Their share of the total investment pot rose by five percentage points over the last five years, to 11.2%—an improvement, but still a comparatively small share of overall funding.
Of course, women are starting up companies across all industries, and they are having some greater success in drawing investor interest than those looking to break into the fintech world. Specifically, women-founded startups have secured 2%–3% of overall funding during this decade,8 while women-founded fintechs have raised only one percent of total fintech investment. That said, when the overall percentage of women founders, including cofounders, is taken into account, fintech's funding share is on par with that of other industries.
The long road ahead
Factors contributing to the rise of women in the startup world include an increased focus on gender equity, growth in the number of women entering the finance and technology industries, modest growth in the number of women in decision-making roles at VC firms, and greater focus on women-oriented mentorship networks.9 To understand more, we analyzed 36 VC firms with a mandate to invest in women founders. Of the 371 women-founded and cofounded startups covered in our study, 40% attracted investments from these firms. Among those startups, 27% were founded solely by women.
Despite this progress, inequitable funding, along with low representation in the founder community, remain key impediments for women in the fintech industry. A comparison of average funding over the last five years revealed that women-founded fintech startups raised 50% less capital than startups founded only by men. But founding teams with both men and women averaged just 3% less funding (figure 3).
One reason for this disparity could be gender bias in the VC pitching process. A 2014 study by Harvard Business Review concluded that investors often make funding decisions based on gender. The study revealed that, after listening to identical pitches given by men and women entrepreneurs, investors preferred pitches made by men.10 Another study found that venture capitalists often posed different questions to men and women entrepreneurs. Men were more likely to be asked about the potential for gains, while questions toward women focused more on the potential for losses. Interestingly, this happened whether the investors were men or women.11 Bias can take other forms as well, such as when women entrepreneurs are encouraged to bring men counterparts to investor meetings.12
Inequitable funding and lack of representation could be missed opportunities for investors. Women-founded or cofounded teams are more likely to understand the needs of women—an essential yet underserved customer segment for financial services in general.13 The VC industry, however, should continue to prioritize investing in women-founded and cofounded startups.14
A call to action
What could the three key stakeholder groups do to help improve outcomes and create more gender diversity in the fintech founder community? Below are actions investors, women founders, and financial institutions can take.
Widen the investment lens. Investors, especially venture capitalists, have the power to make meaningful change by coming to the table with an unbiased view. While making investment decisions, investors need to ask themselves: "Are we letting unconscious bias get the better of us?" and "Are we doing enough to understand the opportunity— product and market segment—before us?"
Put the multiplier effect to work. Diversity within the VC community can help bring fresh perspective and accelerate the pace of change. Our earlier research found that with each woman added to the C-suite, there was a threefold increase in the number of women in senior leadership.15 Likewise, women VCs are twice as likely to invest in companies with a woman founder or cofounder at the earliest stage of company development.16 However, currently, just 12% of decision-makers at VC firms and angel groups are women.17 The investment community should be helping more women get to the other side of the table.
Women founders
Create the next big thing. Many business opportunities will unfold as the pandemic reshapes our future. With technology being a clear winner, women in fintech should actively scout and be ready to capitalize on the next big idea.
Consider alternative sources of capital. Women are at an apparent disadvantage when it comes to traditional fundraising. But crowdfunding—raising small investments from a group of amateur investors—can be a very useful source of initial capital, especially during times like this, when securing traditional funding may be increasingly challenging. Moreover, these platforms often tend to favor women founders, whom participants in a recent study perceived as being more trustworthy.18
Seek and develop mentorship opportunities. Peer-to-peer networks, sponsorship, and mentorship programs often help women achieve greater success, faster. Women founders should seek access to multiple mentors at an early stage. Meanwhile, they can also pay it forward by mentoring other women. Having gone through the fundraising process, experienced founders should provide coaching and guidance to early stage founders.
Bolster gender diversity initiatives. Many institutions have incorporated gender diversity efforts into their investment strategies. For instance, Goldman Sachs's Launch with GS initiative aims to invest US$500 million in gender-diverse companies and investment managers.19 Likewise, JP Morgan, in partnership with The Vinetta Project, recently launched an initiative to support women founders by providing them greater access to capital, networking opportunities, and advisory services.20 More initiatives such as these are needed for women entrepreneurs to thrive.
Cultivate networks. Large financial institutions can play a key role in cultivating valuable networks. They can help women founders access an established network or create an informal one by introducing them to industry leaders, investors, and other women founders.
Seek partnerships with women-founded companies. Financial institutions regularly partner with fintech companies. They can create more equitable opportunities by actively seeking out women-founded startups for these partnerships.
COVID-19: Catalyst for growth?
The 2008 financial crisis created huge demand for faster innovation in the financial services industry, which likely contributed to the rise of the fintech community. Could a similar disruption in the business environment due to COVID-19 be an opportunity to level the playing field for women?
When facing a global economic downturn, every dollar is important. As companies aim to recover from the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, they will need to run a tight ship while exploring all viable options for growth. This should include investing in women entrepreneurs, who have proven themselves to be as capital-efficient and capable of generating high returns as are men, if not more so.21 And a recent study of executives across genders found that women were also perceived to be more innovative and resilient—important skills during these challenging times.22
"The pandemic can be an opportunity for change and catalyst for growth for women in fintech, as indicated in Deloitte's research. Female fintech founders have excelled during this crisis, in part because of their ability to handle uncertainty, collaborate with others in the ecosystem, and home in on the needs of the customer. Peer-to-peer networks, where female founders exchange ideas, explore business opportunities, and importantly, motivate and inspire one another, can speed the rate of change."
—Carole K. Crawford, CFA, managing partner, fincap360 and Chair, 100WFinTech Committee
So far, however, this hasn't happened: Women-founded and cofounded startups appear not to be faring well during the pandemic. In the first six months of 2020, they raised a total of US$875 million in funding across 20 startups compared with US$3.5 billion seen in the first half of 2019 across 56 startups. Meanwhile, 243 men-founded startups raised around US$12 billion in the first half of 2020, compared with US$17 billion raised over the same period in 2019 across 473 startups.
Investors should take note of this and act accordingly. Otherwise, they could risk missing out on a key growth opportunity.

My placement at IBM has been a gamechanger
Joseph Omar, a Mathematics BSc(Hons) student, did a 12-month placement with IBM as a Business Operations Analyst. In February 2020, he talked to us about the experience and about his time at the University of Brighton.
Thanks to my placement, I feel more ready for the real world now…
You develop a lot as a person when you first start university and there's a similar developmental leap when you go on placement. You're suddenly in a business environment at a corporate company surrounded by professionals. It's a gamechanger and I feel a lot more ready to go into the real world now.
My reporting chain was to the CEO of IBM…
On my year's placement at IBM as a Business Operations Analyst in the Systems Hardware division, I worked with the sales team to gather information about their latest deals and then present this to management. The vice president of the UK business would then report to Europe who would report to someone else who would report to the CEO. Given the size of the organisation, this was a significant reporting chain.
I got involved in as many opportunities as I could…
I made a real point of branching out at IBM, not just doing my day job. I ended up winning a competition to come up with a technology solution on behalf of the Rugby Football Union to keep school and university students engaged in rugby. I got to present the solution to the CEO of the RFU it's something they want to implement in the future.
The placements team really helped me with my application…
They helped me to get the wording right on my written application so that I was selling myself properly. They also gave me feedback on my assessment centre presentation, and they put me in touch with a Maths student who had done a placement with IBM the year before and whose advice was invaluable.
Now I know what I want to do…
I didn't know what I wanted to do in second year. The I did my placement and now I know the area I want to go into, which is data analytics and consultancy. AI and machine learning and all the rest of it is blowing up now and Maths graduates are needed in these fields. If you don't know what you want to do, then do a placement and you probably will.
I think employers really value Maths graduates…
I've always liked the pure logic and truth of Maths. There's no debate or subjectivity like with History or Psychology. There's an answer. We're trained to have a mathematical way of thinking. Say if you've got a task or a problem, you follow logical steps to solve that problem. I think employers really value that way of thinking.
At Brighton you get one-to-one time with lecturers…
At the open day, I got a really good feel from the lecturers and it seemed to be a really intimate setting. At other universities with hundreds of students enrolled on the Maths course you'll never really get that one-to-one time with your lecturers. Here, you can go up to their office and speak with them in person, no problem. Whenever I'm unsure about something or need something confirmed, I'll send an email or go to a lecturer's office and I'll always get a response. They are always happy to help.
My course has also helped to build my soft skills
One of the modules, Social, Historical and Philosophical Perspectives on Mathematics, specifically aims to develop students' soft skills by encouraging us to present to the rest of the group and then lead a discussion. I think it's really useful to have exposure to having to present because you often need this skillset in the workplace.
Working as well as studying has helped to build my skills
I'm a Maths tutor at the university's Pi Shop, which provides Maths support to all students at the university if they need it. I've also joined a Maths tutoring agency outside the University for private clients. Working as a tutor has really enabled me to develop my communication skills. I've learnt to gauge someone's understanding and adapt the way I explain something to them based on the way they absorb information. I'm also a steward at the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. I'm busy, but it's all valuable experience.
I would sum up my experience at Brighton as…
Very fun. Educational. Life changing!

MESSAGE BY LFN PRESIDENT ON HERITAGE DAY 2020
Posted 24/09/2020 24/09/2020 Reyno De Beer
Dear People of our country and Africa,
I feel insulted today.
Sorry, but I can't bare hypocrisy by our Government and some of our People.
Do us People even know what Heritage Day stand for? It is a day, formally known as Shaka Day, and adapted for the new South Africa to essentially celebrate our Bill of Rights of our Constitution.
Can we really be happy or blessed today about this Heritage Day? No we can't. Our forefathers will be ashamed of SA and our continent today.
If you are someone who obediently adheres to the unconstitutional Disaster Management Regulations this ANC Government has put in place which destroyed our lives due to the COVID-19 scamdemic, especially wearing your mask and sending your children to school with one, you have absolutely no right to celebrate our Constitution and today and need to revisit yourself.
Please consider making a voluntary donation to LFN through Mobipaid…
In particular I refer to those hypocrites who even have the audacity to tell others to put on their masks when others want to be free to breath. How dare those people say today that they want to celebrate our heritage? Those still obedient to the Lockdown regulations, notwithstanding that it already means nothing since 24 June 2020 and the ANC had been slapping the dead horse to the great amusement to all backstabbing politicians who betrayed us, have no right to even complain about this "Nazi" ANC regime and its other 13 sheeple political parties in Parliament.
I will never be false. My morals and ethical values are just too high to be compromised. I refuse to send my daughters to school with masks, because it is child abuse and so shouldn't you. Period.
Sadly our children can go to a restaurant and take off their masks there, but at school they must rigidly wear it all the time in class. Shouldn't we start teaching our children at restaurants instead?
Today also marks the 29th day since our Court hearing without having received the important judgment.
I don't trust our judiciary one bit anymore. There is no reason to wait for almost one month to render a judgment. No reason at all.
The Courts of our country are not for the People but for the elite to manipulate and the time has come that the still sleeping People wake up and that we must actively start to revolt against the Court system of South Africa and demand total reformation of it.
The British Royal House has too much influence in our country's affairs and we must start to denounce all English practices in our Courts. The "bat attire" is the first thing that must go. We are urging all our People to start mocking anyone wearing this ridiculous "bat" outfits as a token of submission to the British Queen and her family of leeches. I will try getting myself a shocking pink outfit next time I enter a Court room in protest to all British legal traditions and practices. The so called "Inn" system must be denounced on all fronts possible.
Will our President, Cyril Ramaphosa, puppet of the British Royal House of Windsor, answer to our letter requesting that he must investigate himself through a Judicial Commission of Inquiry? LFN doubt and is he most probably waiting for further instructions from Prince Charles who apparently took over the functions of the British Royal House.
While our President is busy colluding behind the backs of our People with HRH, maybe it's time he can ask Elizabeth II when the Cullinan Diamonds can find their way back home to our country after her agents Louis Botha and Jan Smuts stole it from us and gave it to her family without the permission of the People…
Isn't it also time that our media stop to write pages and pages of crap stories about the British Royal Family? Doesn't South Africa have enough traditional leaders to promote instead of telling us about yet another Windsor on its way? I stopped reading "Die Huisgenoot" years ago just because it loves to write stories about the Windsor cartel every week.
I honestly don't care whether people stop supporting LFN because of what I have said, but it's a total disgrace what we are doing to this beloved country of us, our freedoms we have fought for, our children's future and most of all, allowing this Government to violate our religions and traditions.
It's time South Africa become fully independent from the British Royal Family and resign it's membership to the Commonwealth immediately.
South Africa and Africa will never prosper until that day we have finally cut our ties with the British Royal Family. None of them is welcome in South Africa anymore. Next time when they visit, let us show them our contempt towards them in any way we can.
Shame on each one of you who still obeys this Government and our so called President who is merely the steward of Queen Elizabeth II.
Evil triumphs, because of good people doing nothing.
What are YOU as a fellow South African and African going to do about it from today onwards?
I have reached a point of being GATVOL to see how the lives of all our People are destroyed by one family who thinks they own the world. The Windsor Family must be evicted from our country, Africa and, if it's possible, the world.
Disgruntled African,

Q: rails-portfolio gem not working with rails-5 i m using rails-portfolio my ruby version is 2.3.1 and rails version is 5.1.4
after adding gem 'rails-portfolio' and on running bundle install it gives following error:-
even on running bundle update is shows same error on console without any luck

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rails":   In
  snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
      rails (= 5.1.4)
In Gemfile:
      rails (~> 5.1.4)
rails-portfolio (~> 0.0.5) was resolved to 0.0.5, which depends on
  rails (~> 4.2)

Running bundle update will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using
  only the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

A: You'll need to downgrade your Rails version, or you could fork the Gem, modify portfolio.gemspec to reflect your version and hope it acts as expected — a quick inspection indicates shows that there's nothing glaring  obviously that would break.

Q: Solving equation with fractional power law exponent It is possible to solve analytically this kind of equation:
$$
a\cdot x^{\frac{4}{5}} - bx = c
$$
for $x$ ?
I thought about applying for both side logarithm with base equal $\frac{4}{5}$.
But what the next step should be?
Or maybe it is not possible to solve this kind of equation by hand?
I will be thankful for any clue and help.

A: $$(1) \quad a \cdot x^{4/5}-b \cdot x=c$$
If you've never heard of U-substitution. It's time to learn, it's very useful. Choose $u=x^{1/5}$ and substitute into $(1)$.
$$(2) \quad a \cdot (u^5)^{4/5}-b \cdot u^5=c$$
$$\Rightarrow u^4 \cdot (a-b \cdot u)=c$$
This could be solved, but it'd be very tedious and depend on the constants. I suggest newton's method, if you know calculus, or fixed point iteration for numerical values. Using the later we have,
$$u_{n+1}=\left(\cfrac{c}{a-b \cdot u_n} \right)^{1/4}$$
Which may converge for suitable choice of $u_0$ to one of the roots. You'd need to know a lot more about the subject to prove it converges. However, for $a=2$ $\ b=5$ and $c=7$ we have one of roots, of the original equation, given by,
$$\lambda=\cfrac{7^{5/4}}{\left(2-5 \cdot \left(\cfrac{7}{2-5 \cdot \left(\cfrac{7}{2-5 \cdot \left(\cfrac{7}{2-5 \ddots} \right)^{1/4}} \right)^{1/4}} \right)^{1/4} \right)^{5/4}}$$

A: No, these don't allways have analytical solution, take a look at this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory,
set $ y = x^{1}{5}   $ then this equation becomes $ a\cdot y^4 - b\cdot y^5 - c = 0 $, which is a quintic function !

A: Your equation is equivalent to a quintic of the form $x^5 + Ax + B = 0$, which is known as the Bring–Jerrard form. Analytical solutions to such equations may sometimes be found, depending on the coefficients. See the Wikipedia link for some information on how to determine if a particular equation can be solved that way.
However, if you're willing to use non-elementary functions, quintics can be solved analytically via Bring radicals, which are just the real roots of $t^5 + t - a=0$ for real $a$. And they can be solved using elliptic functions. Please see the Wikipedia article (and its links) for further details.


>"However, it has been documented that ABS brakes increase stopping distance."
>long ago test with a professional race driver.
stopped that because their data showed that ABS cars were involved in more costly accidents than non-ABS cars?
The reasoning in the studies I've seen?
1. The sense of Invulnerability. Once people realized that their ABS would let them stop quicker on wet pavement, they quit slowing down so much.
And on dry pavement, they would drive more aggressively and brake later.
off the road and into more solid objects.
I have no idea if this is true, but it's thought-provoking!


The 'E! News' and 'Daily Pop' anchor publicly addressed her abrupt departure Tuesday, claiming the network has failed to pay her fairly.
Catt Sadler has left E! News after claiming she has received a "massive disparity in pay" in a revealing statement posted Tuesday.
Sharing details about her abrupt departure on her blog, the anchor expressed her hurt and shock after learning her E! co-anchor Jason Kennedy makes "double" her pay, something she was unaware of until pulling double duty as host of the network's live show Daily Pop and E! News.
As she claimed on her website, Sadler found her double hosting duties as "creatively challenging but genuinely one of the most fulfilling years of my professional career." However, during that period, Sadler learned of a wage gap existing between her and Kennedy when discussing a renewal of her contract.
Sadler, 43, also mentioned how she and her "TV husband" Kennedy, 36, began their careers with the network in the same time frame, cultivating success alongside each other.
Sadler writes: "I so lovingly refer to him as my 'tv husband' and I mean it. But how can I operate with integrity and stay on at E! if they're not willing to pay me the same as him? Or at least come close? How can I accept an offer that shows they do not value my contributions and paralleled dedication all these years? How can I not echo the actions of my heroes and stand for what is right no matter what the cost? How can I remain silent when my rights under the law have been violated?"
While Sadler, who has worked at E! for nearly 12 years, assures that the decision to leave her friends at the studio was difficult, she advises readers to know their worth. She then turned talk to the current climate.
The anchor had her final day on both E! News and Daily Pop Tuesday, expressing both her sadness and gratitude for the praise she has received after publicly addressing her decision on Twitter.
Kennedy also shared his somber goodbye, documenting his decade-long co-host's final day on set.


This philosophy, incorrectly credited to Charles Shulz (not that it matters who said it) reminds us all it's the little things and those closest to us in life who matter most.
You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.
Pass this on to those people who have either made a difference in your life, or whom you keep close in your heart, like I did.


Definition - What does Thru Tubing Systems mean?
In the oil and gas industry, thru tubing systems are a set of tools that are used in oil well bore operations. These tools are used to carry out various activities such as well stimulation, isolation and fishing on an oil field. Through the thru tubing systems, engineers are capable of removing any wellbore instructions, making exits for wellbore, and inducing efficient well stimulation and sand control to name a few. This system is an important aspect of downhole operations and is specifically designed to execute thru tubing activities.
So as to carry out different activities of downhole operations, a wide range of specially designed equipment is used. Whether it's a motor or an oil well intervention tool, thru tubing systems are high-quality machinery used for all kinds of thru-tubing operations. These tubing systems enable the completion of operations such as sand cleanouts, extended-reach milling, downhole separation and well stimulation. Thru tubing systems are also commonly known as thru tubing equipment.


Here is a selection of tales suitable for small children.
Get one of the boys to be the farmer, then choose a girl to be the farmer's wife, then the son, and so on, each child hanging on to the child in front. If you can also give them hats or suitable masks to wear, it will make the presentation much more entertaining for those watching.
Use a large cushion for the turnip and tell the children to just pretend to pull each time until the turnip eventually comes out of the ground and everyone falls backwards.
THE ENORMOUS TURNIP! – A Russian folktale.
An old farmer sowed a turnip seed. The rain fell, the sun shone and the seed grew, and grew and grew! Into an enormous turnip!
The farmer told his wife to put a large pot of water on the stove because he was going to pull up the turnip and they would have it for supper.
He put on his big boots and went into the vegetable garden to pull up the turnip. He seized it by the leaves and he pulled and he pulledand hepulled! But he couldn't pull up the turnip.
He called for his wife to help him and she came and pulled at her husband. He in turn, pulled at the turnip….and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The farmer's wife called for her son and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The son called for his sister and she pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The sister called for the dog and the dog pulled at the sister and she pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The dog called for the cat and the cat pulled at the dog and the dog pulled at the sister and the sister pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The cat called for the hen and the hen pulled at the cat and the cat pulled at the dog and the dog pulled at the sister and the sister pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The hen called for the mouse and the mouse pulled at the hen and the hen pulled at the cat and the cat pulled at the dog and the dog pulled at the sister and the sister pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! But they couldn't pull up the turnip.
The mouse called for the flea and the flea pulled at the mouse and the mouse pulled at the hen and the hen pulled at the cat and the cat pulled at the dog and the dog pulled at the sister and the sister pulled at her brother and he pulled at his mother who pulled at her husband who pulled on the turnip…and they pulled and they pulled and they pulled! and they pulled! and they pulled! And up came the turnip, and down they all fell – the farmer on top of his wife who fell on top of her son who fell on top of his sister who fell on top of the dog who fell on top of the cat who fell on top of the hen who fell on top of the mouse who fell on top of the flea!
They all got up laughing and took the enormous turnip into the house. It was so big that there was enough for everyone's supper – including the storyteller!
