So I just want to talk briefly about games and how they can used for educational purposes, with particular reference to my game – Expose Yourself.
For some reason, games don't seem to have a place which has been allowed for learning within the older generation(http://www.recode.net/2015/4/24/11561860/where-are-all-the-educational-video-games-for-adults). The general stereotype is that games are for kids, and so the older market seems to be pushed to the side and forgotten about. The fact is, that this in untrue. I have found this pdf (http://www.igea.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Digital-Australia-2016-DA16-Final.pdf) which I'll link below which showcases the average game consumers, including playing, watching and streaming, and it shows that the average age of game consumers are 33 years old. Why then is there not a market for education aimed at an audience outside of school? Is it because games are considered fun, and the idea of learning being fun is a taboo concept? Surely if you have fun while learning, you are more likely to retain the information which you have picked up (http://www.igea.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Digital-Australia-2016-DA16-Final.pdf). So my question is this: why is gamified learning something that is not present in workplaces (https://hbr.org/2015/09/games-can-make-you-a-better-strategist)?
My game Expose yourself tries to educate players about the state of the freelance industry, in a fun satirical way by placing the player in the shoes of a freelance worker. The player is then forced to think about what is more valuable to them as something to earn: money to live, obtained through part time jobs, or exposure which stacks up towards a full time job in the industry. The use of exposure as the only payment method for freelance jobs looks to highlight the lack of value given to the workers within this industry. If people don't want to do it for free, they will just ask someone else. The fact that these cards need to be played along side part time job cards in order to earn a consistent living, aims to demonstrate the fact that it is difficult to survive on freelance work alone. When playing with Dan McGrath, he came to this conclusion: "Designers are used as resources, not valuable people"; that is to say that the construct of the game highlights the lack of care for the individual, so long as they get the job done quickly, and cheaply.
I've drawn a lot of inspiration from the website Clients From Hell (http://clientsfromhell.net/), as they detail horror stories of clients freelance workers have had to deal with. After discussing the idea with another friend in the industry, she linked me to the website of The World's Longest Invoice (https://www.worldslongestinvoice.com/), which lists jobs which were simply not paid for by clients. Another website which has cropped up since beginning my development is the site Who Pays Influencers? (http://whopaysinfluencers.com/), which looks to highlight both positive and negative experiences of the micro-celeb/insta celeb/social media celeb, who are paid to promote certain products. As someone who has worked occasionally as a freelance designer since 2013, I'm also drawing upon my own experience, as it is very easy to undervalue your work when the entire system is telling you to. The social utility of this game is as such, to educate those who are not in this industry, and create an understanding of what it is like.
I would love to have a game for my workplace!! I think it would be awesome to play games in any industry for educational purposes!
I wish my game had more purpose than just a fun entertaining board game, this is actually a potential "game changer" – get it – in terms of bringing some light to educating people in the freelance industry through this game!
Your game not only highlights the on-going struggles and experiences of a Freelance worker, but also adds a dimension of great gameplay! I am really excited to have a play-test on this – do you think you will have a final version of the game by the end of the week?!
As I am a freelance designer myself, I understand the quarrels and dampeners this game is trying to highlight! Exposure is key, and try to gain that exposure is like pulling brand new teeth out! I am really interested to see how you as designers can bring personality to this game and allow it to resonate amongst others who aren't in the same industry! Keep it up!

WHO 'too compromised', says ex-US CDC director, pushes 'lab leak' Covid origin theory again
Manner in which Covid-19 spread so quickly from human to human contradicts the behaviour of other deadly viruses with a similar profile, Robert Redfield tells Fox News.

New Delhi: Robert Redfield, the former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has once again asserted that he believes Covid-19 in all likelihood emerged from a lab in China.
In an exclusive interview to Fox News, the former CDC director, who served in the Donald Trump administration until January 2021, said the novel coronavirus having leaked from a lab was the most likely explanation for the pandemic's origins.
According to Redfield, the manner in which Covid-19 spread so quickly, from human to human, contradicted the behaviour of other deadly viruses with a similar profile — such as SARS and MERS, which reached humans through animal contact but spread at a much slower pace.
On the World Health Organization (WHO) verifying this theory, Redfield asserted that the WHO was "too compromised" by China to conduct a transparent investigation. In March, the international organisation concluded in a joint report with China that a lab leak was "extremely unlikely".
In his interview to Dr Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at the NYU Langone Medical Center, Redfield said: "Clearly, they were incapable of compelling China to adhere to the treaty agreements that they have on global health, because they didn't do that. Clearly, they allowed China to define the group of scientists that could come and investigate. That's not consistent with their role."
This is not the first time Redfield has spoken about Covid-19 likely to have escaped from a lab.

Theory behind lab leak
Redfield, a virologist himself, said he did not think the virus went from a bat to an animal, and then to humans.
He said: "I'm just giving my best opinion as a virologist, and I don't think it's plausible that this virus went from a bat to an animal — we still don't know that animal — and then went into humans and immediately had learned how to be human-to-human transmissible to the point of now causing one of the greatest pandemics we've had in the history of the world."
While it has been reported that Dr Anthony Fauci, who is the US government's top infectious-disease authority, and other doctors and scientists have played down the possibility that SARS CoV-2 leaked from a lab in China, Fauci has said he never played it down and always had an open mind on the origin of Covid-19.
"Until you nail it down definitively, you always have to keep an open mind that it might be something else and that's the way I have always been from the very beginning, I have not changed my mind," he said.
In May this year, President Biden asked the US intelligence community to present their findings in 90 days on the pandemic's origins.
This is not the first time Redfield has indicated support for the lab leak theory. In March 2021, in an interview to CNN, he said he believed the virus escaped from a lab in China and did not go from animal to human. He had, however, stressed then this theory was just his opinion, not a proven fact.

After a second bankruptcy in three years, Sbarro is shaking up its business.
The airport and mall food-court mainstay is betting that it can expand with stand-alone stores and a renewed focus on pizza over other Italian hot dishes, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Sbarro's first four stand-alone stores will open in the Italian eatery's hometown of Columbus, Ohio, followed by as many as 100 more locations across the country over the next two years. The menu will be pizza-centric, free of the ziti and vegetable distractions that Sbarro once offered.
The pizzeria took a beating when mall traffic began to decline at the same time that the prices of its main ingredients, flour and cheese, rose. Further battered by the recession's impact on customers' discretionary spending, Sbarro filed for bankruptcy for the first time in 2011. Then, still beset by liabilities and seeking to reorganize the business, it filed for Chapter 11 again in March 2014. The month before, it had closed 155 of its then-400 North American stores.
By moving away from its food court model, Sbarro's might be shielding itself from declining mall foot traffic, but it is also entering a crowded space to compete with Domino's (DPZ), Papa John's (PZZA), Pizza Hut (YUM), and others.

A First in Portugal: Lisbon Festival Set to Make History for BGEA
By BGEA	• March 21, 2018
Lisbon, situated on the west coast of Portugal, will host a Franklin Graham Festival this weekend, marking BGEA's first Crusade event in the country.
From inside a 19th century bullfighting ring, the Gospel will be preached in Western Europe's oldest city this weekend.
The two-day Festival of Hope (Festival da Esperança) with Franklin Graham will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, starting Saturday, April 7. This marks the first time the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has held a Crusade event in the Mediterranean country.
Many of the local churches partnering with BGEA for the Festival have long awaited this ministry opportunity.
"It's a great sense of excitement," said Hans Mannegren, BGEA's director of European affairs. "There's a longing for revival in the young leaders here that is very strong and carries in a way that I haven't seen in a long time."
In fact, he said all four sessions are full and phones have been ringing off the hook. "It's a positive challenge to have," said Mannegren. "There is an expectation that God is doing something that hasn't been done in many, many, many years.
"We're totally thrilled."
BGEA's first-ever Crusade event in Portugal will be held inside this 19th century bullfighting ring. In addition to still holding bullfighting events, Campo Pequeno is now a multi-event venue that also houses movies, restaurants and shopping.
Years in the Making
The event comes after years of prayer and groundwork.
Billy Graham was set to preach in Portugal in the 1970s, but the Carnation Revolution halted those plans. Despite receiving thousands of letters requesting he visit, the peaceful coup in Portugal proved to be too risky of a time.
In 2011, BGEA started the My Hope (Mina Esperança) project to share the Gospel in homes throughout Portugal. Then in 2012, a Portuguese version of BGEA's internet evangelism website Peace with God (Paz Com Deus) was launched to reach people searching for answers online.
Still, the desire for a large-scale evangelism event remained.
Fast forward to 2015 when Franklin Graham held BGEA's first-ever Festival in Spain. A team of church leaders from Portugal attended that Barcelona event and offered an official invitation for BGEA to finally make its way to their country.
Mannegren says many see the Lisbon Festival as "extra special" because this will be Franklin's first time preaching since his father passed away in February.
A Need for More
Clinging onto steep hillsides, the ancient capital city of Lisbon is considered the bull's-eye for Portugal's economic and cultural activity. Spiritually, though, churches have been praying for transformation.
"The Catholic church is strong here, so a lot of people know the basics of Christian values and morals," Mannegren explained. But there's still a missing component for many.
"People understand it, but perhaps don't have a personal relationship [with Christ]."
Nearly 400 churches from various denominations are involved in the Lisbon Festival. The free event has generated so many pre-bookings that second services were added to both Saturday's and Sunday's Festival plans.
The Festival will include performances by popular Portuguese artist Heber Marques, Brazilian singer Ana Paula, The Afters, and the 450-member Hope Choir. Dennis Agajanian and the Tommy Coomes Band will also take the stage.
The Church in Action
Local Christians aren't just planning for the Festival, though—they're asking God to supernaturally change the hearts of unbelievers.
As in many places around the world, Mannegren says church attendance is declining in Lisbon and young people are drifting away.
"There's a deep longing to see this generation touched and [for them] to have encounters with God that will change their lives," he said.
Portugal is also among the handful of countries in Europe that have struggled economically in recent years.
"There is a sense of not knowing how tomorrow is going to turn out," Mannegren explained. "A lot of people are wayward and feeling they need something to hold onto."
Churches are praying that through the Lisbon Festival, Christ will fill that void.
Some recently finished 40 days of fasting and prayer, lifting up all aspects of the event each day.
More than 4,000 people have completed the "I Am Andrew" program, an evangelism training BGEA developed based on the disciple Andrew to equip others to win souls for Christ.
Add to that some 900 applications for volunteers wanting to help counsel those who walk forward to make a decision for Christ during the Lisbon Festival.
'It Can't Stop Here'
Leaders are asking believers around the world to join them in prayer.
"There is a great need for the church in Portugal to experience God's timing and God's presence," Mannegren said. "As some of the church leaders have said, 'It can't stop here' [with this event]."
Specifically, he asked people to pray for:
Festival attendees to have life-changing, personal encounters with God
Revival within the local church in Lisbon and across Portugal
Remaining Festival logistics and planning to be carried out successfully
A lasting impact and continued momentum after the Festival is done
Current and ongoing evangelism training so the church can remain equipped.
Give to Crusades & Festivals
I want to give men, women, and children around the world the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ at citywide Festivals and Celebrations.

ICC BASCAP and INTA launch joint anti-counterfeiting programme
News • New York, 25/11/2015
The International Chamber of Commerce Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (ICC BASCAP) and the International Trademark Association (INTA) have announced plans to partner on a series of programmes to fight counterfeiting, to begin in 2016.
Planned series of conferences
The initial step in the partnership will be a series of conferences around the world bringing together key stakeholders to find solutions to the growing problem of product counterfeiting.
The programme aims to amplify the views of the private sector to governments, public and the media, and to raise awareness and understanding of counterfeiting activities on a local, regional and international level.
The final schedule of the conferences, to be held in different cities around the world, will be announced in early 2016. Where possible, the conferences will take place in conjunction with already planned conferences hosted by BASCAP or INTA.
Some of the potential topics to be covered include supply chain management, free trade zones, small consignments, counterfeit on the Internet, goods in transit and the confiscation of the proceeds of counterfeiting crimes. Locations will include Africa, ASEAN, China, Latin America, Europe and the US.
The proposed theme for the 2016 conference programme will be "Fighting Counterfeiting through the Supply Chain", with tailored national and regional content for each event.
INTA's global network of members and its existing range of international conferences will enable BASCAP to expand the visibility of its well respected research reports and policy recommendations.
ICC BASCAP and INTA partnership
The partnership will provide both organizations, as well as local and regional third party organizations, a platform to present recently-published studies, new developments in the fight against counterfeiting and updates on anti-counterfeiting resources, programmes and materials.
"Counterfeiting reaches brand owners and consumers in every corner of the globe. This is an excellent opportunity for our two organizations to collaborate on common goals around one of the most important issues facing the global trademark community," said INTA President J. Scott Evans.
"BASCAP welcomes this partnership with INTA as another opportunity to build greater awareness and understanding of the impacts of the growing global crisis of counterfeiting and how it impacts consumers and society at large," said Jeffrey Hardy, BASCAP Director. "INTA's global network of members and its existing range of international conferences will enable BASCAP to expand the visibility of its well respected research reports and policy recommendations."

we decided to conduct a survey among you, especially our friends from Australia. Due to the fact that the United States and Australia are very similar in many things (houses, architecture, shops, gas stations, etc.), we also decided to start the work, and on the Australian map. It certainly will not be soon because it is we have only recently started to develop the game, but we are now ready to begin collecting data on Australia (at the moment we are already doing all road signs Australia).
From what Australia state , we must, to begin construction of the card? Please write your opinion in the comments. Thanks.
мы решили провести среди вас опрос, особенно это касается наших друзей из Австралии. В связи с тем, что США и Австралия очень похожи во многих вещах (дома, архитектура, магазины, АЗС и т.д) мы так же решили начать работу и над картой Австралии. Это конечно будет не скоро т.к мы только недавно начали разработку игры, но мы уже сейчас готовы начать сбор данных по Австралии. С какого именно штата, мы должны, начать строительство карты? Пожалуйста напишите ваше мнение в комментариях. Спасибо.
No real preferance where it starts.
I think New South Wales would been a good starting spot. From there you can branch north, south or west.
I would like to make a recommendation regarding this new game though if I may. Usually when someone goes into the trucking industry for themselves they usually buy from the second hand market instead of new and I think that this would be something that a lot of truck simulators are missing.
Random trucks available but they are worn/damaged and you cannot change their specifications until you buy it and take it to get it repaired, as such they are of a lower value and cost than brand new rigs.
It was this factor that I loved about "King of The Road". Some of the second hand trucks in that game made me wonder how they could even sell them in such poor condition...buckled rims & all lol.
But I agree, start with not so good rigs & work/aim for better ones, upgrading as you go.
I think you start in the eastern states 1st NSW, 2nd QLD, 3rd VIC then go west and don't forget TAS so you can add the ferry crossing.

Start in NSW , build in all directions. South to Canberra , then Melbourne. West towards Adelaide. North towards Brisbane , Cairns.
Western Australia, the most diverse.
To start with NSW and VIC will be one of the best solutions.
End goal would be for total coverage So inevitably every state would get all the love required . Some especially the eastern states road network is quite complexed and will take some time.
Неплохо было бы начать с Нового Южного Уэльса- это наиболее густо заселенны штат. К тому же у этого штата богатая история. И Сидней, на мой взгляд, один из самых известных городов Австралии- я не представляю карту Австралии без этого красивого города.

Manitoba Business: Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society
Link to:
Managers | Country Elevators | Sources
In August 1906, an office of this Scottish organization was opened at Winnipeg with the arrival of George Fisher as its Western Canadian Manager. The firm established a network of country grain elevators throughout Manitoba, intended to purchase grain for delivery to its flour mills in Scotland. In 1949, the firm (later renamed Scottish Co-operative Society Limited) sold its grain elevators in Saskatchewan and, in February 1973, the remaining nine Manitoba elevators were sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators. The ones in western Manitoba, at Colby, Gregg, and Oakner, continued to operate as part of the Pool network while six elevators in eastern Manitoba were integrated with existing facilities in that area.

The female had hauled herself up between markers B and C on Big Beach, taken a meandering path in the sand and abandoned two nesting attempts before successfully laying her clutch. Although we didn't see her and were therefore not able to record measurements and tag details, it was nevertheless very exciting.
We were expecting to see no turtles for some time following this missed meeting, since the season tends to start slowly. We were therefore surprised and enthused to encounter another nesting female the following day. Around breakfast time, the Conservation Manager April Burt spotted a nesting female very close to the research house on her daily journey across the island. This time, we were able to watch her quietly from a distance.
We were too late to catch her in the trance-like state of laying and were therefore unable to measure her and check her tags. It was very exciting for us volunteers to watch her carefully covering her nest site with her powerful flippers. Being the first time any of the volunteers had seen a nesting turtle, we were captivated as we watched the female.
Particularly magical was the moment when she slowly made her way back down the beach, accelerating at the sight of the ocean to meet the crashing waves. Once in a few inches of water, she swam swiftly through the crystalline shallows and was lost in the darkening cerulean of the deeper water within seconds. Two turtles in two days and right at the start of the season. What a fantastic opening.
Since then things have gone a lot quieter, as is to be expected. We had only one other female up to lay on the 11th September. Soon more and more will arrive and we will step up the frequency of our patrols in order to encounter as many as possible of the roughly 250-300 Hawksbill turtles which nest here annually. It is definitely a very exciting time to be volunteering on Cousin Island.


Now that John has had surgery do you think it will be easier for you to reach your goal?
Great question, I don't really know the answer... but I like it! I have already seen a change in my food habits again - it's amazing how quickly things creep back into your pantry that don't belong there. I think it was harder in some ways to have us focused on completely different eating plans and guidelines. Now that they will be more in tune with each other - and we'll both be eating tiny amounts... I think it might be easier to kick start my weight loss again. It certainly put me in the frame of mind that I can do the 5 day pouch test. I'm starting that tomorrow - and I'll share information on it a little later.
I don't put all my stock in the number - if I could just get to maybe a size 10 or 12... I'd be pretty darn happy to have gone from a size 32 to a 10/12!
The idea of a goal weight is so weird. For me, the "normal" range for my BMI is 125-145, so I made 145 my "official" goal weight. My surgeon's goal for me is 135. My "successful WLS" goal (65% of excess weight lost) was like 218 or something.
While I'd love to see 145, I'm perfectly happy in the 160's. I wear a 10 or 12 bottom, medium or large top, and I feel good. The only real reason for me to keep losing is to have wiggle room for maintenance and aging.
But if I had to decide based on how I feel in my body, I've never felt better than I do right now. I have no idea if getting any lower would increase that or not!
10/12 is a great doable size for sure. I wouldn't focus so much on the number either.
I stopped losing weight after 6 months and sort of just hovered there for what seemed like an eternity. My weight would fluctuate 3 pounds up or 5 pounds down for what seemed like a year or more I bet. I stayed around 140-145. That put me in a size 8/10/12 for the past 18 months I bet. I couldn't seem to move. I'm now since having the tuck at 135. I look at myself in the mirror and think there is no way I can ever get to 118 nor would I want to. Although according to my BMI I am still considered overweight, I'm healthy now. I don't ever wanna be stick skinny-I like a lil meat on my bones. I'm afraid I'd freeze to death if I lost anymore.
I'm curious about the 5 day pouch test. Never heard of it before.
You have undoubtedly covered this before, but I've just recently begun reading your blog. Would you mind sharing (possibly again) what prompted you to have the surgery? Has weight always been an issue with you, or did you find that once you were in your teens, or went to college, etc., that weight became a problem? What did you try before you had the surgery? Please don't read any criticism into these questions; I'm just honestly curious.

Arshile Gorky (1904-1948), Birthday Apr 15
New York/Connecticut, Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, Automatism
Living a life dominated by tragedy and despair, Arshile Gorky nevertheless became one of the most important abstract 20th-century artists. The art critic Harold Rosenberg wrote that Gorky was "an artist in exile for whom art became a homeland".
Born Vosdanig Manoog Adoian in Turkish Armenia, Arshile Gorky had a happy childhood in his small village but became an Armenian refugee during World War I. He escaped the Turkish slaughter but became a refugee in Russia with his mother and younger sister. The mother died of starvation in his arms. The next year, 1920, he and his sister, Vartoosh, came to the United States to Watertown, Massachusetts and joined their older sisters who had escaped earlier.
He enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design and then taught at the New School of Design in Boston. In 1925, settled in Greenwich Village, he changed his name from Vosdanig Manoog Adoian to Arshille Gorky because he thought it more appropriate for a painter. The name Gorky he took from the Russian writer with that name, which means "bitter one" in Russian. He added Arshile, likely after the mythical Achilles.
From 1925 to 1931, Gorky taught at the Grand Central School of Art and associated with many of the avant-garde artists of that time including Stuart Davis. However, that friendship ended when Davis became involved with the leftist Artist Union. Gorky felt that politics had no place in art. Admiring Picasso, he adopted the style of Cubism beginning 1927. He worked as a WPA muralist, painting a controversial mural with cubist forms at Newark, New Jersey airport. In 1939, he did a mural for the Aviation Building at the New York World's Fair.
The exhibition part of Gorky's career began in 1930 with a show at the Museum of Modern Art titled "Forty-six Painters Under Thirty Five". After 1944, he exhibited at the Julian Levy Gallery, and surrealism was by then apparent in his work.
He married in 1941, which brought him the most stable existence he had after much poverty and neglect. He spent much time in Virginia and Connecticut, enjoying the countryside, and he did paintings in a surrealist-influenced style, which he found liberating and uniquely his own. The work of what is considered his mature period is abstract with "extraordinary freedom in its washes and bursts of color" and forms "encoded with erotic symbolism".
But tragedy struck again including a studio fire, divorce, cancer, and a disabling auto accident. In 1948 at age forty-three, he committed suicide.

Accelerating the Popularity of Football (Part 2)
As the whole world awaits with anticipation the 2018 World Cup for Football, to be played in Moscow starting June 14, 2018, the Philippines will have a busy year in this sport that is slowly attracting more attention, especially among the Filipino youth. The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) is budgeting some P167 million for projects and programs for 2018 when the men and women's national teams will be participating in important international tournaments, as reported by sports writer Cedelf Tupas. PFF President Mariano "Nonong" Araneta is aiming to raise additional funding of some P32 million to supplement what PFF will receive from FIFA, the Asian Football Confederation and the ASEAN Football Federation. A large portion of the budget will be going to the technical department, which focuses on training at all levels, i.e. grassroots, age-group teams and the national teams. Expected to give a big boost to the training activities is the construction of a new football center inside the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. A part of the budget will be needed to help the national team, the Azkals, to qualify for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. The Azkals will also see action in the AFF Suzuki Cup in 2018. Some P15 million will be allotted to the Women's team, the Malditas, who are scheduled to vie for the AFC Women's Asian Cup in Jordan in April 2018.
Equally important in accelerating the popularity of football in the Philippines will be the traditional business enterprises who have been very supportive of the sport in the past. We expect Alaska Milk Corporation to continue supporting the Alaska Cup which gives numerous Filipino youth in different age groups the chance to compete in an annual tournament. There are laudable initiatives of other corporations like Coca-Cola, Nestle, the Aboitiz group, Metro Pacific, Adidas, Nike, LBC, and a few others who include in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs the promotion of football among the youth, especially from the disadvantaged groups. Also expected to sustain their efforts to spread the playing of football among the masses are NGOs like the Henry Moran Foundation, the Gawad Kalinga Foundation, and the Roxas Foundation who team up with public schools, parishes and other local communities in initiating the youth in the playing of football, not only for its inherent athletic benefits but also for the values formation that can be readily incorporated in the playing of the sport, values that contribute to national development, such as team spirit, discipline, perseverance, humility and precision.
Let me give special mention to what the Henry Moran Foundation and the Gawad Kalinga Foundation are doing to help children mostly from the lower income groups to learn how to play football in cooperation with public schools in the National Capital Region. By partnering with some 600 public elementary schools in Metro Manila, these two foundations are providing coaches and playing materials, such as uniforms, shoes and balls to enable public school pupils to learn how to play the game. Because of the scarcity of football pitches, futsal is the sport that is played. This "Liga Eskwela" program culminates in an annual tournament among the teams coming from the schools. A recent innovation is to synergize with the Ambassadors' Cup, an initiative of some foreign ambassadors to the Philippines to use football as a means of helping children in depressed communities in the Metro Manila area to spend their leisure time in a productive and character-building way. Started by some Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil and Chile) about five years ago, more ambassadors from other countries have joined the program. The culminating tournament has been held in the modern futsal court of the University of Asia and the Pacific. Through this article, I wish to address other foreign ambassadors whose countries have a tradition of playing football to join the Ambassadors' Cup so that their respective embassies can also make a contribution to Filipino youth development among the lower-income groups. Foreign embassies interested may contact me through the email address below.
A very positive development in promoting interest in world class football among the Filipinos is the commendable decision of ABS-CBN to partner with Thailand-based holding company Triple CH to bring three of the biggest football leagues in the world to free TV in the Philippines through ABS-CBN Sports+Action. This partnership will bring the English Premier League (now being led by Manchester City), La Liga (now with FC Barcelona with a very wide margin over perennial rival Real Madrid) and the UEFA Champions League to Filipino fans who will be able to watch selected matches live. As a football fan myself, I was very happy, for example, to have been able to view live the last El Clasico (the much watched match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid) at a very reasonable hour (8 p.m.) last December 23. In the past, to watch these games from the Spanish League, I used to wake up at 3 a.m. It seems that the Spanish League and other European leagues are waking up to the fact that the biggest consumer markets in the world will be in Asia in the coming decades. That is why they are exerting every effort to schedule their matches at hours that are not ungodly for Asian viewers to watch live.
The opportunity to view the games of the best football clubs in the world—such as those of FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern, Paris St. Germaine—will go a long way in educating Filipinos about the attractions of watching football. They will learn that the beauty of football is not in the number of goals that are scored in a game (like in basketball) but in the skills displayed by the players, even if a match ends up scoreless. They will learn to watch football as they enjoy entertaining dances given the opportunity to behold the Messis, Cristiano Ronaldos, Neymars, Iniestas, Raphael Varanes, Christian Eriksens, Tony Krooses and Zlatan Ibrahimovics of the world execute a flying kick, a header, a pirouette, or a timely assist. I am sure that as more and more Filipino children learn the intricacies of football, they will be more knowledgeable than their parents and grandparents who can enjoy a game only if the goals are made every few seconds!
I also hope that some of our local TV channels will make it possible for the public to watch the games of the World Cup in Moscow from June 14 to 28, 2018. Filipinos should be able to watch football at its best. I also encourage restaurants, bars and other public places to make available these games to their clients by subscribing to the appropriate channels like Bein or Fox Sports. The excitement of watching the best national teams in the world compete in this tournament held every four years will help to accelerate the popularity of football in our country. Since I am an inveterate forecaster, let me add to the fun by making some fearless predictions. I am betting that the top four contenders for the championship are Argentina, Brazil, Portugal and Germany. For sentimental reasons (I have lived for some years in this former colonial master of ours), I would add Spain as a dark horse (as long as its team is not expelled from the World Cup because of the interference the Spanish Government in the affairs of the Spanish football federation). After all, Andres Iniesta is still playing for Spain in the World Cup. It was he who scored the winning goal that earned for Spain the 2010 World Cup against the Netherlands (whose team together with Italy's are uncharacteristically absent this year). For the information of the readers, the other national teams that have qualified are those of Russia (automatic because it is the host), Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay, Morocco, Iran, France, Peru, Australia, Denmark, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea, Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England, Poland, Senegal, Colombia, and Japan. Let the games begin! For comments, my email address is bernardo.villegas@uap.asia.

Q: Web sql dates ordered as text and not by date precedence I am consuming an Oracle APEX REST web service  using HTML5. Some records are retrived from the server and stored locally using web sql. Local table has the same structure as the server db table, including a DATETIME column.
Example data:
01   10-03-2015 12:00  (March 10th, 2015)
02   01-04-2015 13:45  (April first, 2015)
03   03-05-2015 20:00  (May 3rd, 2015)

I have trouble with local storage (web sql) because when I order all table records by that datetime column, it is ordering the records following a text based order (from left to right): DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI
The code I am using in HTML5 to get these records ordered is:
select *
from local_table
order by fecha

Wrongly I am getting this:
02   01-04-2015 13:45  (April first, 2015)
03   03-05-2015 20:00  (May 3rd, 2015)
01   10-03-2015 12:00  (March 10th, 2015)

When you check this records directly in Oracle DB without specifying a format, DATES are stored DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI. Oracle is not having trouble ordering those records by DATE because when I order them in ORACLE i am getting the right order:
01   10-03-2015 12:00  (March 10th, 2015)
02   01-04-2015 13:45  (April first, 2015)
03   03-05-2015 20:00  (May 3rd, 2015)

Do I have to order date value just before I store it locally in order to have it stored in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI so I can have them correctly ordered?
I saw another post where somebody suggest that, but I wonder if that is a workaround or the only way to do it.
Thanks

A: WebSQL uses SQLite under the hood, so your question is answered here:
SQLite Order By Date
You basically need to convert column values with date() function when ordering.

It is nearly a month since I was presented with my award, and I am still on the high of amazement and disbelief! I am very happy I applied for the award, as it was not only a fun experience in itself, it was also very rewarding. I have developed my skills at interviews, online assessments and learned how to better conduct myself in professional situations. I would recommend this award to anyone who is even slightly considering it. I would also make it clear that being a first year student did not hinder my chances either, like I thought it would. Barclays considered everyone on their individual merit and on a level playing field, something I am very grateful for.
I was first told about the competition through an email I received from my university. I will admit I had not heard of it before, and after a quick internet search, realised the value of the awards and the competition, along with the participation of key employers like Barclays for example.
I then decided I would quickly fill out the first stage of the application, with the mind-set that I had nothing to lose so why not give it a go!
The process began like any candidate selection process, something I was not used to being a first year student with limited experience of more complicated application procedures. I first had to fill in information about my academic background and motivations. I was then given questions more specific to Barclays, which were also interesting to me, being an Aeronautical Engineering student. This helped me understand more not only about Barclays, but also the kind of things companies want you to interpret about their operating environments. They are not only interested about the specific jobs you are applying for.
I was then given some online assessments to complete, testing problem solving ability and awareness.
After this, I was selected to attend an assessment centre at Barclays in Canary Wharf. Here, I met the other candidates I was up against. We all got on very well and they were all very friendly, and it was great to hear some of the things that they were up to. They were a very inspiring group of people (and I would have given the award to any of them!). At this assessment centre, I had to present about my innovations and how I approach situations in an innovative way. I spoke about all my extracurricular activities and how they have positively impacted other people.
A few weeks after this, I was invited to the Grand Final in Canary Wharf, something I was not expecting and so was very excited about.
This day was very enjoyable. I had to attend early to conduct an interview about my experiences and then enjoyed a lovely meal and discussions with my colleagues. I also spoke further with the very friendly staff from Barclays, knowing they knew who had won! It was also great to hear from the students from other awards about their different experiences with assessment centres and their activities. It opened my eyes to the amount of amazing students we have in this country.
After our meal, we endured the nervous wait as Rachel Riley, the awards presenter, got down to the Innovation category. I was very shocked when she announced my name. I was so sure I would not win I did not even have room in my bag for the trophy!
I am now thoroughly looking forward to my summer internship with Barclays and the other exciting opportunities they have awarded me. I would thoroughly recommend applying for these awards as being able to say you were the recipient of an award will be an invaluable addition to any CV and future job application. I wish anyone applying the best of luck and assure them that if they want to win, there is nothing stopping them!


All of us who have or have had a car know that the aesthetic question is one of those that matter most for us, especially if we want to show off an aesthetic vehicle, beautiful and elegant. Scratches, bumps and even animal debris and sap from trees can damage car paint. For this reason, powder coating technology on https://mauipowderworks.com/ is increasingly used in the automotive world, as these provide a coating or protective layer to the sheet or to the components of the vehicle.
The traditional products for the protection of automobiles are made with natural or synthetic waxes, known as sealants, or in polymers. However in more recent years, the powder coatings have been implemented, which are industrial powder paints. These are applied by electrostatic means to the substrate that, in the case of the automobiles, is metallic and later it is put under temperatures of between 60 and 100 ° C so that the paint is melted with the metal and acquires mechanical properties of resistance and durability before the corrosion and oxidation, but also an aesthetic quality that gives it a brighter finish.
Unlike liquid paints that are used in a traditional way, powder paint does not require a solvent, making it more environment friendly.
In the automotive world, powder coating is used for automotive parts, chassis, springs, shock absorbers, windshield wipers, rims, wheels and all kinds of metal parts. For the body it is used in the factory, during the assembly process, since the process requires the melting in a furnace. However, it is possible to use powder primers for repairs or paints by bodywork specialists, which can increase the protection and resistance of both the paint and the sheet.
The field of application of the coatings is extensive, since they are not only applied on the sheets and metals, they can also be used on rims, plastic, glass, headlights, hoods for convertible cars and even for leather seats, so there are Several options within the automotive sector.
High resistance: Powder coatings resist contact with chemicals, being vulnerable only to acids. They also resist to the passage of time and water, providing a protective layer to the metal so that it does not corrode with moisture.
Easy cleaning:Since the powder coating practically repels water, it is very easy to clean. It also has a quality to repel dust, so the surfaces where they are applied are much cleaner and easier to maintain in perfect condition, since the dirt does not it is embedded to the surface.
Glossy finish: The best quality, and the best known of the powder coating is the glossy finish, which exceeds the results obtained with wax, in addition to being much more durable and easy to clean, it does not scratch when cleaned.
High durability:Depending on the quality of the product and the number of layers, although one is usually sufficient, the results are long lasting, which will be even longer if it is given adequate maintenance.
Resistance:The most attractive quality of powder coating in the automotive sector is the strength and hardness, which makes it almost impossible for the material to be grated or damaged with blows. It is practically necessary to polish the piece with a cutting material in order to remove a coating layer.
A powder coating gives a finer appearance to the pieces of higher quality and resistance. This is due to the fact that the paint film is much thicker and appears more visual, besides rounds the edges and feels smoother and softer touch. Its mechanical and chemical resistance allows to maintain the results of the finish even in the face of constant exposure to weather, ultraviolet rays and rain, but also to abrasive materials, corrosion, chemicals and stains.
An electrostatic layer is resistant to temperature, so it does not melt to heat, but it does not deform and has great resistance to twisting.
We can find powder coatings under the bonnet in elements such as the engine block, oil filters and brake pipes. The cylinder heads also use it to support high-speed machining without deforming, splintering or lifting. The oil filter and brake pipes are used to prevent mechanical deformation such as bending, in addition to resist chemical attack of oil and lubricant.
Door and window moldings are also painted with powder paint, as well as roof rails or grills, which are painted in black or dark gray and are resistant to ultraviolet rays.
