The proboscis monkey has a big nose, an even bigger belly and a huge survival problem. James Fair travels to the world's third largest island to find out whether primates could help to conserve its precious forests.
ID: An Asian elephant, but smaller, with relatively larger ears, a longer tail and straighter tusks. Once believed to be descended from a domesticated herd, DNA analysis has found that it is genetically distinct and probably a separate subspecies.
Where: These elephants are believed to only inhabit the forests of Sabah, though they may also move into East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Status: Population estimated at between 1,000 and 1,500.
My trip was organised by World Primate Safaris, which also organises tours to see mountain and lowland gorillas in Africa and lemurs in Madagascar.
Other tour operators offer trips to see orangutans and other wildlife in Borneo.
My return flight from Heathrow to Sandakan in Sabah, via Singapore, was with Malaysian Airways.This journey emitted a gargantuan 8,800kg of carbon dioxide, more than eight times the annual emissions of the average Indian. It therefore cost a mammoth €177 to offset with atmosfair.
WWF is active in Sabah, and partly due to its efforts, in 2005 the state government gazetted the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary – 26,000 hectares of riverine forest and floodplain.
Sadly, being a fertile area, this is also an ideal location for palm oil plantations. You can find more information here.
While there is no specific tourist season, the main rainy period lasts from November to January and is best avoided.
I made sure I had these things wherever I went: a water bottle (it's hot and you get thirsty quickly), a sunhat and suncream and a dry bag for all my camera gear in case of a sudden downpour.
If you plan on taking photographs of primates, you will need at least a 300mm lens and a tripod. You will also need to shoot on a high ISO rating because of the low light levels.
If you're bothered by tiny wildlife that bites, take plenty of insect repellent.
I enjoyed A Naturalist in Borneo by Robert W C Shelford, a book published posthumously at the beginning of the 20th century (Oxford University Press, ISBN 0195826345). Expensive to buy out in Borneo, it's available on Amazon for as little as £10. Wild Borneo by Nick Garbutt and Cede Prudente (New Holland, ISBN 1845373782, £29.99) is also an interesting read.

Homepage»Issue 11: Movement»The General Store: A Fight Against Immigrant Erasure
art by Louise Reimer
By Hadiyyah Kuma on January 23, 2020 Comments Off on The General Store: A Fight Against Immigrant Erasure
In Guyanese-Canadian general stores, staff always greet me with a booming "how you do gyal?" Or, they exclaim "look how big she get!" to my mother, who replies with a laugh. The language is broken English. Other things are sometimes broken too: the floors cracked, the ceiling a bit caved in, water stains spread over its white panels like birthmarks. There's no money for repairs. Sometimes there's music playing: reggae hits, soca standards. There's always some kind of candy next to the cash register. The little boy on the Tunnock's caramel bar package looks happy to see me.
I like to think of the general store as an after-effect of the immigrant story. It was the '80s when Guyanese immigrants began opening general stores in Canada. It was what you did when you wanted to own a business, but you didn't have a lot of money. Guyanese immigrants needed surpluses of the things they left behind, like Madras curry powder, red-roll, Amla oil, Chico Gum, and Tunnock's caramel bars. In the back of some general stores you can also find diyas and incense, figurines of Lord Shiva and other Hindu gods, and sometimes Islamic plaques painted with Qur'an verses, like the ones on the walls of my apartment. Most people don't know what I'm talking about when I talk about those trinkets or spices. They are unique to Caribbean diasporic people, things you would find in Guyana as easily you could find the circular shadow made by Guyana's noon sunlight. Most people also don't understand that a Guyanese-Canadian general store, or any immigrant-owned general store, has an overarching story of necessity, of resource. That they can act as a home away from home.
When political unrest ousted my mother's family from Berbice, Guyana in 1983, my grandfather had hope. Canada seemed like the ultimate option: my aunt was already living here, and sponsorship was simple enough. Anything would be better than standing in line for food rations and having salt and rice for dinner. My father's family was in a similar situation and immigrated in the 1980s as well. While my mother's family moved to Parkdale, Toronto, my father's family settled in North York. Both of these nooks of Toronto were amalgamations of immigrant communities. There was an influx of Caribbean immigration at that time, so Caribbean general stores began to pop up everywhere.
My father and grandfather lived on Jane Street for most of their Canadian lives, and there was a Guyanese general store across from my father's apartment building. In the early 2000s, I visited him almost every weekend. Each weekend I'd drop into the store to buy a snack, usually some plantain chips or tennis rolls. But after a few years, the store closed down and was replaced by small Western grocery store. With higher density construction and a growing population of immigrants who lacked access to community resources, the area experienced a rise in crime, largely instigated by a negative relationship between York Regional Police and the youth of Jane and Finch. Even though rental prices were jacked up, the maintenance for apartment buildings and condos fell apart, neglecting to provide adequate care for its residents and the structures themselves.
There were broken windows everywhere. Broken windows and broken English. Broken English is a term my family uses to refer to Guyanese Creole, and a term that many diasporic people use to describe the shaky understanding of the colonizers' language. There are some pains the colonizers' language can't describe, maybe because it lacks the power to look inward, to understand the repercussions of the power it has to strip away. It lacks an understanding of the complications that follow displacements. Immigration is the first displacement, the others follow.
Most people also don't understand that a Guyanese-Canadian general store, or any immigrant-owned general store, has an overarching story of necessity, of resource. That they can act as a home away from home.
When my father moved to Pickering in 2009, we only saw my grandfather about once a month. In 2016, my grandfather passed away from complications due to several strokes. I wasn't close to him, so the death that struck me harder was my now severed connection to that part of the city. Jane and Finch's broken English had equated to the smells of curry and baked bread in the hallways of my grandfather's apartment complex. The smells carried out onto the street, down into the public lawn where Black and brown boys played soccer, and into the West Indian stores we frequented together. That scent changed over the years, to something smoky and muddled. I can't enjoy it as much anymore; it holds little of what used to bring me comfort.
On my mom's side of the family, something similar was at work. My grandparents lived down the street from us in Parkdale, and my then-mobile grandfather frequently rode his bicycle to the grocery store. His favourite places to shop for Guyanese groceries were Budget One Stop and Fullworth. At the time of its inception, Budget One Stop was a big, crowded store with grey tile floors and a grey panel ceiling. As a child, it felt like a different world, a comforting one. I remember an old man's feet, his blackened toes and wrinkled coconut-shell skin. He worked there; he might have owned the place. He sat in different corners of the store and watched as people shopped. He spoke very little, and each year he spoke less.
There were Caribbean grocers there too that I'll never know the names of, but these businesses gave my grandfather the ability to provide my grandmother with supplies for cooking that she's used all her life. My grandmother is particular, some might even say picky, as my mother is, as I am. It is part of my grandmother's authority as a woman who never attended school and was married at sixteen. Her work was cooking and caring. Because she can't read, verbal grocery lists are a way to hold space. Receiving the items and leafing through them, another way. When my grandfather would return with his haul, she would remove one item at a time, looking at it from all angles, up close because her eyes were going bad. She'd conclude something about its suitability and would offer recipes that might make use of it. If it was spoiled or stale, she would be determined not to throw it out. Guyanese culture is making use of every morsel, as every morsel is a gift, a luxury that you're privileged to afford.
One day, the old man and his feet were gone, and Budget One Stop moved across the street to a much smaller rental space.
One day, my grandfather went to Budget and found a vegan brewery erected in its place. He stopped and looked around. He saw that Budget across the street, half the size it once was. He jaywalked to get to it while cars honked at him. He came home to my grandmother, breathless and rattled.
"One day" is not so vague as it seems. What was really happening was the gentrification of Parkdale, wringing out the ethnic businesses in favour of white millennial 'minimalist' aesthetics.
Gentrification is about newness. It's about remodeling an area to look conventionally appealing, according to middle-class aesthetics. It's no surprise that these conventional standards often equate to colonial-white standards. White people don't want to see Chinese soap operas playing on a small TV screen while they buy their avocados. They certainly don't want a plastic Lord Shiva staring down at them while they pick out their favourite flavour of chips.
Guyanese culture is loud and crowded. It is delightfully crowded by many cultures: it's an amalgamation of African, Indian, Chinese, and Indigenous traditions. Materialized in the average Guyanese home, it's the amalgamation of stuff. "Knick-knacks" are everywhere. We have cabinets full of them. Even the contemporary Guyanese, the people my parents call "Canadianized," must have a room where they hoard their family secrets. Part of this crowded nature of Guyanese homes comes from the fear or guilt of throwing stuff away. When you've worked hard to attain each object in your home, getting rid of them isn't an option. Poorer immigrant families tend to buy things when they are on sale, rather than only when they need them. The convenience of getting into a car and driving quickly to the store is a privilege. In West Indian stores, you won't find a space that doesn't reflect this lifestyle. Packed in the corners of stores and on the cashiers' counters are the stuff of life, the things that make lives go.
Gentrification is about newness. It's about remodeling an area to look conventionally appealing, according to middle-class aesthetics. It's no surprise that these conventional standards often equate to colonial-white standards.
Recent trends in minimalism favour a more "sustainable" lifestyle. It's about throwing stuff out and getting smaller stuff, greener stuff, like metal straws and bamboo pillows. These items are not a long-term solution to environmental issues or climate change, nor do they negate the substantial effects of corporate pollution and destructive capitalism. That's not to say a sustainable lifestyle should not consist of these products. The problem is the way they have changed the fabric of places, and therefore people's self-images, enforcing social and cultural hierarchies. Such minimalism is an upper-middle class privilege. I, and many other immigrants who have grown up in low-income homes, cannot afford this lifestyle. These actions are not environmentalism. They are the products of capitalism, and one of the reasons why "Vegandale" branding is so successful. Some immigrant restaurants sell vegan options, but the face of veganism perpetuates an ideal subject who can afford to go vegan-hipster, and it is often a white subject.
I can't talk about this without bringing my Muslim identity into the mix. Slogans like "morality on tap", created by the Vegandale Brewery, imply moral superiority, devaluing non-vegans. Am I, a Caribbean Muslim who eats meat, allowed go to a vegan bakery, since it is technically halal? In theory, of course I am. Yet, the labelling of non-vegans as barbaric in their slaughtering of animals pushes exclusionary rhetoric that impacts non-vegan Muslims, as well as Black and Indigenous people and other people of colour, the most. This coincides with issues of cultural capital: names and terms that my family and I might not know because we haven't assimilated enough into mainstream, white society. Words like "vegan" and "vegetarian" mean the same thing to my dad. My mom and I had never heard of oat milk until someone at a downtown coffee shop asked what kind of milk I wanted in my $5 hot chocolate. While we have our own shared meanings and forms of cultural capital, capital is only as useful as the society that deems it as such, and we are left explaining ourselves into circles or saying nothing at all.
At Naraine's Bakery on Weston Road, I used to touch everything from the packets of salseo (chicken foot) to the warm loaves of plait bread on the cooling rack. As a young child with social anxiety, I was rarely comfortable outside of my home. But at Naraine's and other Guyanese establishments, I felt a semblance of family, a place where I was allowed to touch things and ask questions. My father, even as a grown man, felt the same. I don't know what to do with my hands inside of a vegan bakery. I usually place them in my pockets. I don't make eye-contact. I've stopped going in "just to check it out."
Sometimes I see white people at Fullworth and they are not uncomfortable. They peruse Jamaican spices with a squinted eye. They don't understand what a pepper called "ball o' fiyah" means, but they can guess. They relish how cheap the ball o' fiyah is. They speak very slowly to the cashier and do not remove their earphones. They are so cultured.
While many immigration scholars argue that a lack of assimilation makes it more difficult for immigrants to attain social mobility, the communities that enclaves build are beneficial to immigrant well-being. They are factors of survival.
Cultural authority is all about holding space. When I look at Guyanese culture, as it is presented to me by my family, I see that most things are tinged by British colonization and our history of indentured labour, which stripped many Indians of their social status and identities in the name of colonial economic growth. In many cases, women's jewelry was taken away and both women and men's clothes were replaced with plantation worker's clothes. Women's sexual identities were illegitimized. The indentured era held a simultaneous pressure to be "civilized" by colonial standards, as well as to work hard enough to earn a day's wages, which was often only a few cents. This theft of humanity greys the area around what I own as an Indo-Caribbean person, what I can truly say belongs to our collective culture. My parents recited Bible verses in school even though my mother was Muslim, and my father didn't practice a religion. Names of my family members were misspelled by English border officials and now those misspellings are just considered their names.
In this regard, owning a business and employing your own people is a triumph. I believe ethnic enclaves are often a form of resistance. We often see brown people who own convenience stores or general stores stereotyped in popular media, such as Apu Nahasapeemapetilon in The Simpsons. Even Cadbury's 2018 kindness campaign commercial shows a little white girl receiving free chocolate from a brown man's store for her mum's birthday. The Canadian version of the ad uses the slogan, "there's kindness in everyone." It seems to imply that there's kindness even in brown men who are presumably Muslim (the brown actor in the commercial had a beard). There's an air of sympathy for people from low-income, immigrant backgrounds; the media views this social status as one of suffering.
Though there may be suffering involved in building a home in a new country, there is also agency that keeps communities together. While many immigration scholars argue that a lack of assimilation makes it more difficult for immigrants to attain social mobility, the communities that enclaves build are beneficial to immigrant well-being. They are factors in survival. Despite Western generalizations of immigrant sob stories, there exists a genuine solidarity not displayed in pop culture, that of humanity and a common goal: empowerment in the face of displacement.
When I am feeling disengaged and discouraged, I think of a story my father told me. In the 1970s, his Berbice school was visited by British dignitaries. The Union Jack was raised on all flag poles, flying in preparation to welcome them. The night before the visit, my eleven or twelve-year-old father and his friends snuck onto the school grounds and pulled the flags down. It was a subconscious act of resistance, passed off as boys having fun. They were given wild cane beatings once they were found out. They laughed as the bruises formed. This was an act of solidarity that told the colonizing dignitaries what we have often been told as immigrants: you are not welcome here. This space belongs to us.
As a second-generation immigrant in a country that holds increasingly damaging anti-immigration rhetoric, it is more important than ever to pull the colonizer's flag down, rage against it. Remind ourselves it's just a piece of fabric. We will try our hardest to weave ourselves out. Claiming and protecting our general stores is just one way to do that.

Write a small archiving program that stores students' names along with the grade that they are in.

In the end, you should be able to:

- Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
  - "Add Jim to grade 2."
  - "OK."
- Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
  - "Which students are in grade 2?"
  - "We've only got Jim just now."
- Get a sorted list of all students in all grades.  Grades should sort
  as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted
  alphabetically by name.
  - "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
  - "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe.
    Grade 3…"

Note that all our students only have one name.  (It's a small town, what
do you want?)

## For bonus points

Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these
are some additional things you could try:

- If you're working in a language with mutable data structures and your
  implementation allows outside code to mutate the school's internal DB
  directly, see if you can prevent this. Feel free to introduce additional
  tests.

Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this
experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?

## Rust Installation

Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
resources.

## Writing the Code

Execute the tests with:

```bash
$ cargo test
```

All but the first test have been ignored.  After you get the first test to
pass, remove the ignore flag (`#[ignore]`) from the next test and get the tests
to pass again.  The test file is located in the `tests` directory.   You can
also remove the ignore flag from all the tests to get them to run all at once
if you wish.

Make sure to read the [Crates and Modules](crates-and-modules) chapter if you
haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.

A freelance model is free to source their own work through modelling communities, networking events and contacting companies and clients directly. With the internet and social networking sites at your fingertips in 2018, marketing yourself has probably never been simpler or more accessible.
Many models now choose to get their work independent of agencies, giving them full control of both their earnings and career. When working as a freelance or part-time model, it is vital to maintain a personal list of your contacts as you do not have a model agent to do this for you, and it is therefore most beneficial to keep in constant contact with the photographers, contacts and other industry creative parties that you work with on each and every shoot and event.

What was the worst thing to ever happen to the Magic?
tranjsaic
Let me preface this by saying I have been a die hard Magic fan since 1991, the year right before we landed the daddy. I have to say we have been one of the luckiest and unluckies franchises in all of sports. My question to all the Magic fans out there would be, what was the worst thing to ever happen to the Magic?
1. Dicking around on Shaq's contract and not offering him a boat load of cash right off the bat.
2. Picking Hardaway instead of keeping Webber. I know what most people are thinking, Penny would have been great if he didn't get hurt. That is true he would have been great, but you also got to factor in how long each player has been effective in the league and most importantly would webber have been a better teammate then Penny? Penny was a talented anti-social loser, he didn't get along with anyone on the team.
3. Signing Bo Outlaw to a long term deal and letting Ben Wallace go to the Pistons. I understand why this one happened, no one knew Ben was going to be this good and the Magic also promised Bo money under the table the year before so he would sign cheap that year.
4. Trading Maggette and draft picks for salary cap reasons. Looking back at that trade I understand why the team did it. 2 max free agents!!
5. Signing Grant Hill, at the time of this deal It was a no brainer. Who would have known Hill would never be the same again.
6. Letting a hockey guy run the team. I still am puzzled by this move but atleast he drafted Howard instead of Okafor.
7. Being the only proteam in basketball to have duo gms. The track record of our GM's speaks for itself. They draft a player who doesnt even want to come to the states. Hire a coach no one else wants. Do not improve the team one bit over the summer. Also look at the track record of one of our GMs, i forget his name but he is the one that was the GM of the warriors. He is one of the worst GMs in the league, he wants to make sure he keeps his job, he takes the easy route out, doesnt take a chance in the draft, always drafts on skill now not on potential, he passed up on some serious talents just so he could take someone that was "proven".
8. Trading Mobley for a washed up push over.
9. Pretty much anyone they drafted except for the times it was a very high pick. IE no brainer type pick.
10. Not trading Franchise sooner, the team has to realize we will never be a complete team as long as he is here. He does not have the basketball IQ to ever lead a team anywhere.
11. Trading Billups and never giving the guy a shot, not too many people know he was once on the Magic. He never actually played though.
12. Leaving Zaza Paculia unprotected. Even during his rookie season I was screaming to the coach why not play the guy more. He always had talent as was a physical presence inside too bad our coaching staff never realized it.
13. Trading away Miller, although I understand why he did it. Miller was Tmac's best friend, you cant under estimate how much that means.
14. Signing Brian Hill instead of Flip, man I dont understand this one. I wish one day all the real facts would come out. From what I gather so far sounds like John Wisebor had all but given Flip the job but magic management wanted to go in another direction so John quit.
Im sure theres 100 more reason to list but I am getting a lil tired of typing maybe round 2 tommorrow.

1. Shaq was leaving regardless. And I seem to remember it was something like a $10 million difference. $120M vs $110M. So whatever on that one. Maybe a sign and trade would have been better.
2. I would rather have Penny. Two guys that need the ball down low? And this was before CWebb turned into a jump-shooting wussy. Plus we got 3 1st round draft picks out of it I believe.
3. Outlaw vs Wallace. I remember watching just about every Magic game that year when we started them both with Armstrong. Those two couldn't score, but they redefined hustle. But when you make promised, you have to keep them. We didn't want a Joe Smith-type fiasco. And at the time, Outlaw was better. And we HAD to include Ben and Chucky go in that deal so Hill would get a max contract.
4. Maggette was too raw with the Magic. He had one move - go to the hoop. And with the looming free agency with Tmac and Hill, there didn't need to be a need for the three of them with pretty much similar games.
5. The Hill signing. I love it still, I don't care. It brings great PR to Orlando. But what I do have a problem with is that he got the max contract in a sign and trade instead of an outright FA signing where he would have received less money, and at the same time we would have retained Atkins and Wallace. He had been injured since the playoffs and nobody knew when he would be back. Couldn't management have used that towards their advantage somehow?
6. Mobley for Christie. Just idiotic. But I understand the need to separate Mobley and Francis. They had been playing forever and never learned to share the ball with another player besides the two of them. But the plan didn't work and Francis still hasn't learned to share with Howard. Then we cut Christie with the amnesty exception though his deal was going to be expired at the end of the year.
7. Drafts - Reece Gaines, Ryan Humphries, Hapring, Doleac, Omar Cook, Steven Hunter, and the worst of all Jeryl FRICKIN Sasser who didn't know how to dribble a basketball while running (I'm serious, he always looked down at the ball/ground on a fast break).
8. Billups - He's not that good. He wasn't back then. And he isn't now. I'll say it again. Billups is overrated. He's a shoot first point guard that just recently learned how to shoot the ball consistently well. There's a reason he's bounced around so many times - Boston, Orlando, Toronto, Denver, Minnesota and now Detroit.
But my first choice would have to be the Tmac trade. Yes he probably wouldn't have led us anywhere, but at least we could have pulled SOMETHING better than Francis and Cato. And now his value is just going to get worse when we try to move him.

This one's pretty easy:
The worst thing that ever happened to the Magic was Shaq leaving.
"You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours." -- Yogi Berra.
Ten reasons why I'm a procrastinator:
I don't think Shaq was leaving regardless. I know most people are going to say he wanted to be in LA do to the music/acting thing but I remember that summery they started off with a lowball offer. That low ball offer prolly pissed Shaq off somewhat, then once LA offered a deal it was over...
I also remember either Dennis Scott or Nick Anderson saying sometihng along the lines of "Every day in practice, Shaq would say to us, see you guys next year when I'm with my new team."
Losing Shaq, Ben Wallace and T-Mac. Imagine if we had Hill, Shaq, Ben Wallace and T-Mac. We would be the best team in the NBA hands down. Sure there's your whole salary cap in 3 of those players, but it would be great if it worked.

There is no way the magic would have the cap room to get both Hill and McGrady if they had Shaq, considering the boat load of money he makes. And Ben Wallace was part of the sign and trade that got Grant Hill too!

Well hell, we nearly had Tmac, Hill, and Duncan in one summer. If it hadn't been for David Robinson breaking off his vacation to talk to Duncan, Duncan was ready to give it a go and Orlando was ready to see if there was any way to sign all 3. Of course Hill never got healthy, but even having Tmac and Duncan on the same team would have been just plain nasty ... and Mike Miller would have fit in better with Duncan.
I think the curse of the Shaquino is the worst thing to have happened to the Magic.

Losing Shaq and getting nothing in return.
Let Shaq walk away and letting important players go.

Maybe the meltdown against the Rockets in game one of the NBA finals of 1995? I thought the Magic might have taken that series. Younger, more athletic and that The Rockets really had no-one to contain Penny back in the day.
But I know the best thing.....
Dwight Howard.
Guy is nasty. Doing it damn easy. Once they clear the post for him and get more shooters on the team look out.
Spread the perimeter with some snipers, isolate Howard down low, feed him and the kid can cruise to 25/15 each game.

Good thread
several things
1 Shaq leaving.
2. Penny's injuries
3. Hill's injuries
4. The Magic managment's failure to see that they really had a franchise player in T-Mac
5. Still not moving Francis

Welcome to the Power Saving and Green World !!!
The process of evaporation happens all the time. Our bodies, for example, perspire in hot weather. Through evaporation the sweat dries and drops our body temperature. Whenever dry air passes over water, some of the water will be absorbed by the air. That's why evaporative cooling naturally occurs near waterfalls, at rivers, lakes and oceans. The hotter and drier the air, the more water that can be absorbed. This happens because the temperature and the vapor pressure of the water and the air attempt to equalize.

Piltdown claim that cuts no ice
London Times 24 September 1990
[12] The claim in a forthcoming book that the distinguished anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith clearly masterminded the Piltdown Man forgery has failed to dent his posthumous reputation at the Royal College of Surgeons. Sir Arthur is held in great esteem there as a former anatomist at its Hunterian Museum, and the college awards a Sir Arthur Keith Medal, one of its most prestigious honours, to members giving long and distinguished service.
Heart transplant pioneer Terrence English, president of the college, insists that he and his colleagues will stand by Sir Arthur. "I don't accept the case has yet been proven. There is still a certain amount of controversy."
In his book, Piltdown: A Scientific Forgery , Frank Spencer, a British-born professor of anthropology in New York, claims that after years of research, he has conclusive proof that Keith was the hoaxer who, in 1912, passed off a skull, formed from a modern human cranium and an orang-utan's jawbone, as the missing link between man and ape. It generated a great scientific debate, and only in 1953 was it proved to be a fraud. Until now, the identity of the hoaxer has never been irrefutably established. Spencer maintains, however, that Keith, who died in 1955, was a skilled fraudster who engineered the hoax to advance his career and lied to cover his tracks.
English prefers to think of Sir Arthur as one of the greatest scientists of his day–"perhaps the
greatest". He agrees that should the case be proved, Keith's reputation would suffer. Meanwhile, "his contributions in so many fields were so great that this won't mean he is no longer highly regarded–and there is no question of the college changing the name of the medal."

Nigeria's Publiseer reaches profitability in 8 months. Adds Premium Distribution option
Posted by Mark Williams | May 25, 2018 | Africa, Ebooks, Global Publishing, Nigeria, Publishing Brief, The global book market | 0 |
It was an improbable venture in every way, and doomed to failure by any western rationale.
Twin brothers, one a writer, one a musician, launching a business start-up that digitally published both literature and music with no up-front costs. In Africa.
Launched as recently as last August, Nigeria's Publiseer this week reported reaching profitability in Q1 this year.
Publiseer offered the precise figure of $10,877.58 for its gains, advising it has added over 200 new releases in the past 30 days.
No, not a huge sum by western First World standards, perhaps, but not bad going for a digital start-up in an African country where we all know nobody reads and even fewer know what an ebook is.
But of course that's nonsense. The reality is Nigeria has more people connected to the internet than any country in Europe except Russia, and is the eighth largest country in the world by internet users.
If ebooks are relatively unknown in Nigeria it's because none of the Big 5 western retailers are there, as I explored a few days ago here at TNPS –
Two thirds of Kenyans pay to download online video. Almost none read ebooks. Proof Africans don't read? No. Proof ebook retailers are looking the other way
meaning it's down to local players like Publiseer, Panacea and Okada to develop Nigeria's online reading culture.
Publiseer is now pushing ahead with its expansion plans, starting with a Premium Distribution option whereby author suppliers can either upload for free and pay a percentage from their earnings, or pay an upfront fee and collect 100% of what is paid out by the retailers.
According to Nigeria's Business Post,
Since its international popularity is growing exponentially, the company is making moves to expand its services outside of Nigeria.
In response to this, Publiseer has distributed the works of Canadian Youtuber Heidi Shai, American Jazz musician Ragtime Joe, and Missouri producer ANB Beats. In Africa, Publiseer has distributed the books of Cameroonian writer Juan Gutied and Zimbabwean author Godfrey Masanga (as well as) the works of A-list Nigerian artists like CDQ, Klever Jay, Erigga, and DJ Jozenga of RayPower FM.
Chidi Nwaogu, Publiseer's CEO said:
Starting Publiseer, we weren't focused on profitability as an early-stage company, rather, we were focused on customer satisfaction and retention. But at the beginning of the first quarter of this year, submissions doubled and thus our releases too. It's good building something that meets a growing need, and which eventually makes lots of money.
Africa's book market is reckoned to be worth $1 billion.

Brands Need 'Programmatic Creative' to Keep Up with Ad Tech
By Marshall Sponder | Apr 22, 2014
CHANNEL: Digital Marketing
With the rapid adoption of programmatic technology there has been much more efficient ways to buy and sell online advertising. About 85 percent of advertisers and 72 percent of publishers participate in programmatic, a number that is expected to continue to grow even more rapidly in the next two years, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).
But an unexpected problem has arisen because of this growth. The creative portion of the advertising process is having trouble keeping up. Many advertisers are struggling to take advantage of programmatic technologies because they don't have required creative messages in nonstandard sizes and formats.
The reality is we need programmatic creative automation to fully leverage programmatic ad exchanges.
The "content gap" between programmatic inventories and available creative is the subject of a new white paper by CPXi on "The Critical Need for Programmatic Creative" (download link). According to Jeff Hirsch, president of global digital media holding company CPXi, "The next challenge for brands is to be able to iterate high-quality creative on-the-fly that can keep up with the fast paced world of real time bidding."
The CPXi white paper outlines the potential benefits the digital advertising ecosystem can reap by adopting an automated approach to the creative process or "Programmatic Creative." It's empowered by platforms such as AdReady, which can iterate successive variations of creative with little additional effort by advertisers who understand how to leverage the technology.
An interesting case study was unveiled at an event I attended last week at AppNexus headquarters in New York City. Representatives from CPXi and Emory University explained how programmatic creative improved campaign performance of Emory's Goizueta Business School MBA program. It boosted click-through-rates (CTR) on banner ads by 48 percent over previous banner campaigns. In addition, the cost per 1,000 views of the ad fell 24 percent, as a result of better targeting.
Programmatic creative combined with programmatic advertising fully leverages all available inventories and non-traditional ad units. Emory ran a series of executive MBA ads in various sizes and formats using CPXi's AdReady programmatic creative solution to dynamically generate additional creative on demand, with little effort, running within the AppNexus application environment.
One of the key findings of the programmatic white paper — and the main way Emory University kept down the cost of their MBA campaigns while increasing their effectiveness — is that the more ad sizes a campaign uses, the better the performance.
Campaigns using the top three display sizes have a CPM less than half that of campaigns using only the 300 x 250 size unit, and campaigns with seven display sizes have a CPM 60 percent lower (all while CTR increased). Emory quickly created ads in nonstandard sizes that occupied remnant inventory that weren't in demand, yet were highly effective at reaching the target audience, university representatives reported.
They said using CPXi's AdReady kept the costs of custom ad creation down while allowing the business school to rapidly iterate its message, beating out its main competitors such as Harvard and New York University. In addition, Emory was able to create a variety of assets with tailored messaging, adjust and test graphic elements to identify ideal creative and deliver them to each target audience seamlessly and in real time, across a host of non-traditional ad unit sizes and sites.
Angela Bostick, associate dean of Marketing and Communication at Goizueta Business School, said:
CPXi's platform enables us to tailor our widespread digital display campaign to a variety of target audiences for a fraction of the cost of manually creating each asset. Not only did we cut costs, but the newly developed ad units actually outperformed our existing ads. We have been thrilled with the results so far and will be delighted to continue working with CPXi for other university marketing efforts."
Programmatic creative enables advertisers to strengthen their position in the market with regard to the new four C's: cost, competition, coverage and capability. Using AdReady and AppNexus, Emory was able to compete effectively in today's programmatic media landscape.
The Education Perspective
I found the use of programmatic advertising within a top tier executive MBA environment at Emory interesting from the education perspective, too. As an educator, I know most colleges and universities are behind the time both in technology and budget to advertise their programs to perspective students.
Bostick noted that programmatic provided multiple benefits to the university, which normally favors more traditional (and expensive) marketing channels. She and her team were able to quickly turn around custom ads and run them with almost no turn around, at much lower cost than going through their ad agency.
Programmatic creative is clearly the way to go for universities — if you can get you're your "behind the times" educational establishment to buy in. Emory was able to sell its MBA program via programmatic creative — or what Bostick described as a "$90,000 widget" — to increase applicant leads.
The one thing programmatic creative doesn't address is whether those applicants will succeed in their ultimate career goals.

You probably read my raving review about lash extensions and now you are back here wondering wtf happened. Well, life happened, I missed my appointment for a fill and they got spars, and then I realized omg my lashes are missing… Then I thought wtf am I going to do. So I just never went back for a fill. I am totally not going to tell you that lashes were not the best thing EVER, because they were, but they are just too much maintence for me. unfortunately, right now, but I WILL go back to them soon, hopefully spring time… Anyways.
I told you guys on my insta stories that I was back on the mascara band wagon… ugh. (I hate mascara) So I have been trying a couple different mascaras lately. Someone mentioned to me that they had a similar experience with their lashes and they bought Rodan and Fields lash boost. One of my amazing followers on IG told me her experience and gave me her consultants contact info. If you guys are interested in using LASH BOOST click here to contact Meghan. Rodan and Fields is an awesome skin care company which I will tell you more about another time. Meghan is one of their consultants and would be happy to help answer any questions you may have right now! I am loving my results from using their products.
Long story short I got the Lash Boost serum and have been using it for almost 3 weeks. You guys! MY lashes are so nice now!! They grew back so fast and thick too, I am obsessed. I highly recommend contacting Meghan if you are interested in hearing more!
The 3 mascaras that I bought are Tarte "Lights, Cameras, Flashes." Maybelline "total temptation" and Benefit "Badgal BANG" . I filmed myself putting them each on so you can see how they apply. It was really interesting to me because I had never actually done this before and really noticed the minor details that make a difference while doing it. Go check out my IG story highlights to see and listen to my critique of each one.
Long story short the Tarte formula was drier and required so many coats, but the wand was great and I liked how it didnt clump my lashes together… just required way too many coats.
The maybelline brand wand was way too bulky, it hit my eyelid and made a mess… It also was not spreading my lashes because of all the fiberish bristles so I wouldnt recommend this one.
"Bad Gal BANG" by Benefit is my fav of these three. The wand seperates your lashes so good and the solution is thin and dark and it coats your lashes so perfectly. You wont need as many coats. I do put on a bunch of coats but I dont redip the brush until I got to the next eye…. My technique for getting length is to keep going back and forth a few times so that a coat has a minute to dry on an eye before you go back and do another.- do you follow me? That is why it is important that the formula and the brush do not make your lashes clump once you go back and add more…. cheaper brands, especially those wandy brushes do this. If you dont get what I am saying , go check out my stories on IG for a video.
If you guys have any other recommendations for sure let me know on here or on IG! I am going to keep trying different brands because I am not convinced yet this is the best. It is the 21 days of beauty event at ULTA right now. while writing this post I noticed that my go to highlight n contour palettes are part of the sale!

SPD clipless pedals give you a more secure feel to the bike and offer improved efficiency over flat pedals. Clipless MTB pedals are perfect for fast paced XC riding and travelling over flat or rolling terrain. They also give you greater power, control and support when you're heading off the beaten track. Clipless mountain bike pedals are often called SPD pedals because Shimano SPDs are the most prevalent type on the market.
There are many brands of clipless MTB pedals but by far the most popular are Shimanos range of pedals. SPD and other mountain bike clipless pedals aren't just for off-road use either, they're popular with commuters and leisure riders too. Shimano XTR, XT and Saint SPD pedals are some of the most highly rated by the MTB world.


Nobody wants to look ordinary.
But if you don't want to seem predictable or boring, you must challenge the norm and learn to see things differently, like photographer George Sharman.
George is never satisfied with ordinary. He has made a name for himself, by going the extra mile to make things look extraordinary. Whatever he happens to be shooting, from performance cars to chocolate bars, it's the unique way he sees the world that sets him apart. Everything is beautiful in its own way, and George has the knowledge and vision to capture that essence, so that your brand will never look ordinary. His images will help ensure that your customers see you in a new light. So, make a stand against bland and ask George Sharman to look at your next photographic assignment.


The after-five rush hour of a regular Kuala Lumpur day has an enervating atmosphere that, in anticipation of the weekend – or long weekend, so prevalent in this country – reaches a mind-numbing climax every Friday afternoon.
Reaching your doorstep, after all that traffic, can only be described as emancipating.
That sense of liberation, for those willing to push towards the north-eastern climes of Jandabaik, Pahang, takes on a whole new level of meaning when you arrive at the right place – the kind of place exemplified by the award-winning abode known simply as Lot 518.
Set in Tanarimba, a picturesque 7,300-acre low-density estate of 80 percent forest reserve, this three-storey weekend residence is one of two homes built on vegetated foothill.
Against this rich green backdrop, the vibrant planes of the pilotis-supported house are a contrast; projecting angles of clay brickwork, glass and a flying mauve-grey roof are insertions that offer no visual concession to the native surrounds.
It is a bold move that shirks conservative norms in favour of a more poetic, role-reversed solution.
"What if the building becomes the observer of its surroundings, much in the same way as nature is observed from different vistas and layers of space?" proposes Melvyn J Kanny of MJKanny Architect.
This experiential concept predicates the house's irregular layout, rooms and spaces collectively moulded as if an extension of terrain.
The culminating three-dimensional form reflects that experience, echoing the change of landscape as if making passage through Jandabaik's undulating hills and valleys.
There is a visible change of outboard stance, from projective to nondescript, when approaching the main entrance.
Opposite steep hillslope, the house appears an understated modern hacienda: an overhung, seemingly mono-pitched roof complete with chimney (albeit one several times oversized) covering a single-storey home in brick.
That pronounced vertical feature is in fact a wind chimney, drawing cool air into the house through a shaft that, at the owners' discretion, may house in future a discreet elevator.
The illusion of the low-lying hacienda is dispelled, however, upon entering the ground floor.
The architect's angular designs step proudly from the Tanarimba hillside yet subtlely borrows their form from the undulating terrain.
The interplay of planes within the centrepiece living area retains style without sacrificing functionality by harnessing natural daylight and ventilation.

WASH Commission Launches High Schools Water and Sanitation Protocol Inspection Exercise in Margibi, Bong and Montserrado Counties
Zac Tortiamah Sherman
National Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Commission (WASH Commission), has begun a two week inspection exercise that seeks to allow high schools in Margibi, Bong and Montserrado Counties be in compliance with water and sanitation protocols.
The project which worth $ US 18,000 according to WASH Commission Chief Executive Officer Bobby Whitefield, is part of efforts in fighting against COVID-19.
Addressing a news conference, the head of the Commission spotlighted sanitation as a major component to safe environment, adding that the project will set the pace for decisions about water and sanitation in high schools to be reached.
The assurance comes in the wake of what he calls "massive outreach inspection" that will touch over three thousand high schools in the three counties.
WASH mobilizer on outreach
According to the WASH Commission Boss, the inspection will serve as a deterrent to proprietors and administrators who are in violations to water, sanitation and hygienic protocols.
Mr. Whitefield also pointed out that it is expected of various high schools to display sanitary materials provided them and mandate students to ahead to health protocols as they resume activities at schools.
The head of WASH Commission furthered that, the Commission is concern about the maintenance of the safe school protocols that was set up by the Ministry of Education prior to the opening of schools.

harrison was not pleased. spence was afraid to move (or stand apparently). but nate was like, here i am fools, and i am beautiful.
nothing better than sand and water between the toes.
(i just realized he left a little present). oops.
to culminate the biking adventure, we then (of course) stopped by the DQ on the way home.
i mean, it WAS on the way. what.
not to mention a really cool giraffe feeding!
then harrison and i got VIP treatment in grandma's convertible.
i think this picture sequence of h-man best sums up the before and after of the convertible experience.
then the grandparents wanted to take the boys fishing, but the boat exploded.
so we opted for the trusty pier...along with all the european tourists!
i have to say, grandma T was quite impressive with her fishing skills. boyscouts done 'er good.
ummm....we got a little something.
to hide from the carnivorous pelicans who were sitting right next to us.
i heard they eat baby toes (or at least that's what i told my kids).
as it got closer to christmas, scout (our elf) found us and brought a special treat.
and since donuts are not unhealthy in any way, we decided to wash them down with some gingerbread and candy. harrison wins the gold star for sugar consumption in a 24 hour period.
then christmas morning, with one feverish kid and another barfing kid later!
just kidding, the toys distracted him for a little while.
then we braved alligator alley that night and headed over to the grandparents, part deuce!
and even got some private golf lessons out of it.
(thanks to the amazing guilt trip skills of the boys).
the one on the left is a Tron guy and of course, Spiderman, on the right for nate.
grandpa also bequeathed his harmonica to my half hobo/gorilla children.
the boys will be sure to be sharing the cold and flu season love with that thing around!
but not before having some more ice-cream for new year's eve!
there is always room for more ice-cream.
I am still laughing and smiling at your comments and the fun pictures!
Okay, where was i during this part????

As soon as you require a Southfield towing service, you probably have an emergency scenario. Not too many folks– luckily– come with a lot of background calling for a tow truck. Having said that, it is a trade, and there are many different ways people operate this business. For this reason, it is important to determine which questions to ask– Up Front.
Within a hectic plight, you might not remember all of these, but with some luck, you will remember a few. Each question you ask the Southfield towing service positions you closer to evading making your annoyance … even more annoying.
1. Payment Method: Do you take plastic or cash only?
In case you do not have cash in your pocket, you HAVE GOT TO ask this question– WELL BEFORE the Southfield Tow Truck appears to tow your car or truck.
You might not have a choice, however it is always a good idea to ask how much time you will need to wait.
3. Total Cost: Just how much do you ask to tow, including mileage and other expenses?
It is very important to know ALL of your charges before your southfield towing service gets there. How many miles do they tow before billing you for additional mileage? Any more for being on the highway? Dirt road ?
4. Distance: Will you tow me precisely where I absolutely need to go?
If you have a certain place you need your auto to be towed, you need to verify that this Southfield towing service will to take you there.
5. Area Knowledge: Do you know where car service garages are?
If you are in an unfamiliar area and require car repair, does this Southfield towing service company know where the local car repair shops are? Is there a car rental around?
6. Insurance: Can you collaborate with my auto insurance provider?
If you have car insurance coverage to handle tow truck service, inquire if this Southfield towing service can coordinate with your vehicle insurance provider or Triple-A Auto (AAA Auto Club).
Otherwise, you might just have to pay out-of-pocket, even if your insurer reimburses you later.
If you get the answers to these things, towing definitely will not become fun for you, still, these replies will help keep your bad experience from being even worse.

North-South research partnerships must break old patterns for real change

Listening and learning during a Sustainable Futures in Action meeting in Kampala, Uganda. Molly Gilmour
Since the 1940s major world powers like the US, the UK and the United Nations have made moves to spread their scientific, economic, industrial, and human rights progress to countries and regions that are seen as less developed, vulnerable or deprived in one way or another.
This has taken the form of a substantial, varied – and largely well-intentioned – contribution of huge financial and human resources from the global north to the global south. Today the flow of aid money, resources, and increasing global morality and mobility is building ever broader pipelines between these different regions.
And yet from where we stand as individual researchers, with funding and passion to share, we see an unsettling and consistent characteristic of this development history. The global north has experienced a gradual increase of economic strength and environmental protection, through jobs, career development, cheap goods and services.
Meanwhile, the global south has undergone a sustained degradation of autonomy, fertile land, food security and cultural literacies. All this has occurred through an imposition of foreign ideas, materials, ideologies and knowledge systems.
Despite all the good intentions, and the promises and provision of funding and expertise, global challenges persist and in some cases, have increased. As academics in social justice research, we are working in relation to a world of increasing social fragmentation and ecological vulnerability. This is happening "on our watch"; at the hands of our methods and practices and paradigms of research and professional practice.
That's why we're trying to do things differently. The Sustainable Futures in Africa Network, funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund, was formed in 2016. Our aim is to resist becoming another project within this trajectory of north to south research and development. We're working to resist "business-as-usual". The network has hubs in Nigeria, Uganda, Botswana, Malawi and the UK.
What we're doing is taking a completely different approach to research by ditching old techniques and approaches and breaking research moulds that have become entrenched over the past eight decades. For example, we're pioneering ways of engaging with communities that allow them to contribute their traditional knowledge and co-design the research agenda.
Our practices allow us to genuinely and ethically communicate and collaborate with communities, colleagues, and stakeholders. This is especially crucial when it comes to different knowledge systems. For example, in Nigeria soil scientists are engaging with spiritual beliefs that inform communities of the meaning of gold found in their soil. These ideas conflict with what is known in terms of Western science, and yet they serve a real purpose, have real impacts, and are "true" and "factful" to the communities that live according to such beliefs.
Different approaches are imperative if development initiatives are to buck the worrying trends that have cemented inequality and lessened sustainability.
Collaboration between the global north and global south too often follows a tick-box approach. A named global south partner ticks a box to indicate that a project is complying with Official Development Assistance criteria. A local translator ticks a box to indicate that local people are being consulted. A meeting in the country of a Southern partner indicates that the work must be collaborative in nature.
Typically the results will confirm the (Northern) "expert's" hypothesis and support monocultures of the mind. What should be true collaboration, then, results in everyone thinking the same way.
Much formal funded research conducted in the name of development and social justice begins with the great promise of expertise and resources. This merely serves the validation and purpose of the "expert", a person who is typically from the global north or a university setting.
We do things differently. We begin by acknowledging our own implications in the issues we address: we ask how our own practices, assumptions and behaviours contribute to the very inequities and issues we seek to improve. We prioritise creating a safe and honest common ground where new knowledges can be shared and new solutions can be co-designed.
For example, in Uganda we engaged in fieldwork to study water and food security issues using a "no method" approach with no predetermined research design. This meant no questionnaire or sampling technique. Instead the team spent time with families in their homes, listened to them and allowed the communities to direct the research enquiry.
Our ideas and expectations were confounded. The extreme problems these communities faced were largely due to the misplaced aid and intervention of previous projects. By listening, and bringing our own knowledge to the table, we were able to understand these communities as complex spaces of social, cultural and ecological needs.
Another difference lies in the way the network shares insights with its stakeholders. There are no shiny reports crammed with tables and graphs, sent to external offices so that a box is ticked. Rather, policy makers, researchers, and community members are brought together in common spaces – such as a community hall constructed entirely from recycled plastic water bottles and a timber frame in an urban slum in Kampala – so they can engage differently with the factors, people and places at play in a given issue.
Change is crucial
These experiences have proved to us that decisive changes to the traditional methodologies of collaboration are necessary. Without change, the trajectory of growth and development in the world will remain consistent with what's happened over the past 80 years: the north will keep getting richer and the south, poorer. It's time to abandon well-trodden paths and forge new approaches.

Q: Problem with access to Spring OAuth2 authorization server endpoint from java I have implemented authorization server using Spring Framework. I have problem with access to authorization server /user endpoint, I always recieve in response 401 status when I trying to access it from java, but if I send same request from Postman it works. I using client_credentials authorization type with Bearer JWT tokens.
Postman screen:

Code using from java:
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
String token = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOlsidHJhbnNsYXRlLXNlcnZpY2UiLCJhdXRoc2VydmVyIl0sInNjb3BlIjpbIlJFQUQiXSwiZXhwIjoxNTUyMjg5MTk5LCJhdXRob3JpdGllcyI6WyJST0xFX0NMSUVOVCJdLCJqdGkiOiI2OTFjMzViNC1mMzM5LTQ1MTktYThlOC1mNzk2YzMzOGY4MzciLCJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiJrcnVrLWNoYXQtYm90In0.NJDy0FMMQTOSYrZmGiMB60JkwKR_03ino9i7I8FioWp8zzOfg51hcSYdJZJLF45xCWaHWdgS6-uNhXw-0mYO6LAlzx1a-DI2-DaYRnmoNG6gCPbNhifStjuFhNahzR4TlsuzvgI-oFpujX40rDYXUru-tmHf4zPFETFVHGKqpcnx2zjaY6U8UsgRRBIooYmI44Inh_9vsMQB75FaW0khZO2f8guR92J4FbTZprOmlA5qWRv4Sp0YBDxRFkaVntsfThHqsU11kiXso2FS2-1mu0rFVl-W0GYvVIdTCrLMDbgvHQkOPZpSLfyV5ObB-pjI0rR0yvU___TQXaDFn-1Kng";

Process finished with exit code -1

Endpoint configuration:
@Configuration
@RestController
@EnableResourceServer
class ResourceServerConfiguration(@param:Value("\${security.oauth2.resource.id}")
private val resourceId: String) : ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter() {

override fun configure(resources: ResourceServerSecurityConfigurer?) {
    resources!!
            .resourceId(resourceId)
}

@Throws(Exception::class)
override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity) {
    http.antMatcher("/user")
            .authorizeRequests()

            .authenticated()
}

@RequestMapping("/user")
fun user(principal: Principal, auth: Authentication): Principal {
    return principal
}
}

Am I doing something wrong?

A: I tried to simplify code, so I removed JWT token coverter and now I am using default Spring OAuth funtionality. I observed in auth server debug logs that in case when I trying to send headers from java there is no headers in request on auth server side. But when I sending request from postman headers are visible.
I try to execute /user endpoint from java test using RestTemplate like this:
@Test
public void user() {
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
    String token = "11877200-61a4-4830-954e-b3530206bab9";
    headers.set("Authorization", "Bearer " +token);
    HttpEntity entity = new HttpEntity<>(headers);
    ResponseEntity<String> exchange = restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:8090/user", HttpMethod.GET, entity, String.class);
}

My authorization server configuration looks like this:
@Configuration
@EnableAuthorizationServer
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true)
class AuthServerConfiguration(@Lazy val authenticationManager : AuthenticationManager,
val customClientsDetailsService: CustomClientsDetailsService) : AuthorizationServerConfigurerAdapter() {

@Throws(Exception::class)
override fun configure(security: AuthorizationServerSecurityConfigurer?) {
    security!!
            .tokenKeyAccess("permitAll()")
            .checkTokenAccess("permitAll()")
            .passwordEncoder(BCryptPasswordEncoder())
}

@Throws(Exception::class)
override fun configure(clients: ClientDetailsServiceConfigurer?) {
    clients!!
            .withClientDetails(customClientsDetailsService)
}

override fun configure(endpoints: AuthorizationServerEndpointsConfigurer?) {
    endpoints!!
            .authenticationManager(this.authenticationManager)
            .tokenStore(tokenStore())
}

@Bean
fun tokenStore(): TokenStore {
    return InMemoryTokenStore()
}
}

My WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter on auth server:
@Autowired
@Throws(Exception::class)
fun configureGlobal(auth: AuthenticationManagerBuilder) {
    auth
            .userDetailsService<UserDetailsService>(customUserDetailsService)
            .passwordEncoder(BCryptPasswordEncoder())
}

override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity?) {
    http!!
            .headers()
            .httpStrictTransportSecurity()
            .disable()
}

@Bean
@Throws(Exception::class)
override fun authenticationManagerBean(): AuthenticationManager {
    return super.authenticationManagerBean()

As thousands of privacy professionals flock to Austin this year for Privacy. Security. Risk. 2018, all will surely be eager to hear who will be announced as this year's HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Award winner. And while the winner's podium is narrow, that doesn't mean there aren't additional companies also doing some pretty impressive work on privacy. This year, an honorable mention goes to Under Armour.
The HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Awards recognize unique programs and services in global privacy and data protection, in either the private or public sector, that integrate privacy in a way that elevates its value as both a competitive differentiator and a centerpiece of customer and citizen trust.
The team at data privacy and protection platform WireWheel, led by Founder and CEO Justin Antonipillai, nominated Under Armour for the award. Antonipillai said that while WireWheel works with a number of companies, Under Armour stood out among the crowd.
"We wanted Under Armour to be recognized for the incredible work they have done and for their innovation and dedication to their privacy program," Antonipillai said.
In an interview with The Privacy Advisor, Toke Vandervoort, vice president and deputy counsel at Under Armour, said, "There are so many qualified privacy programs that could be considered for this award, to be a finalist is really something to be proud of." She added that the fact WireWheel felt inclined to nominate Under Armour's privacy program was an honor in itself.
The sports retailer certainly has reason to have a strong program, given the amount of data involved. Vandervoort said the company already had expansive global operations but that the acquisition of three fitness apps — MapMyFitness, MyFitnessPal and Endomondo— turned the company into the largest fitness and wellness community in the world, putting data and privacy issues front and center.
To do that, Vandervoort said Under Armour is collaborating with WireWheel to implement its data-mapping tool.
As deputy counsel, Vandervoort also has a seat on the chief digital officer's senior leadership team, works closely with the cybersecurity team and engages with product development and engineering. The company's three-person privacy team has developed and nurtured strong relationships within the company to enable visibility and integration into all aspects of the business.
Integration, innovation and strong relationships support the company's responsive privacy program. For privacy counsel, Vandervoort said it's been especially important to be integrated with the technology, understand how it works and to adopt a business outlook. Doing so helps the team to know how to shape programs and influence development in a constructive and privacy-minded way.
For now, that's a philosophy that seems to be working.
