That's a conclusion from Grand Rapids-based information technology service provider US Signal Co. LLC, which surveyed I.T. professionals across the country and determined more than 80 percent of them thought cybersecurity challenges grew in the past year.
Four in 10 survey respondents reported at least one security incident during the last year and nearly 13 percent couldn't even say if they had experienced a problem.
The survey results show that many companies, even after several high-profile incidents, need to "reinforce their security postures by educating employees about vulnerabilities," said Trevor Bidle, data protection officer and information security and compliance officer at US Signal.
Findings in the survey affirm several issues US Signal has identified in working with customers, said Matt VanderZwaag, the company's director of product development.
In the February survey of 120 I.T. professionals from a cross-section of economic sectors, respondents' top security concerns included email threats such as ransomware, malware and phishing; ensuring companies keep up with security patches and software updates; and the use of legacy I.T. systems that have little or no security updates available.
The results also indicate that some respondents have a hard time keeping up with all of the emerging threats, VanderZwaag said.
Six in 10 clients stay on top of threats by having a small internal I.T. team, and about half work with a third-party service provider. Nearly 30 percent of respondents had a dedicated cybersecurity team, and one in five said they invest heavily in technology.
About 4 percent of respondents answered "we don't" when asked how they keep up with emerging cyber threats.
VanderZwaag advises businesses to have staff members who focus on cybersecurity "day in and day out" to keep up with threats and new technologies. The 13 percent of respondents that did not know if they had experienced an attack in the last year were "one of the resounding things that stand out" in the survey results.
The ramifications that come from some kind of breach — such as a ransomware attack, where a cybercriminal hacks into a company's system, encrypts its data, and then demands payment to release it — can prove costly given the disruption to the business, lost revenue and liability.
A 2017 report by IBM Security and the Traverse City-based Ponemon Institute placed the average cost of a data breach for a U.S. business at $7.35 million. That's the highest among 13 nations where IBM and the Ponemon Institute interviewed more than 1,900 people at 419 companies that experienced a breach.
The annual study said that nearly half of all breaches were the result of malicious criminal attacks. Many more occur from negligence or human error in which an employee inadvertently clicks on a link in an email, for example, and unknowingly spreads an attack throughout the company, VanderZwaag said.
Companies need to regularly train employees about how to identify emails that are phishing, malware or ransomware attacks, he added.
Elsewhere in the US Signal survey, about one-third of organizations believe they spend the right amount annually on cybersecurity, and another one-third said they need to spend more.
Nearly half of the respondents at the time were either unsure if a new regulation by the European Union affects their company or whether they would have to comply when it took effect on May 25.
Designed to protect user data and privacy, the General Data Protection Regulation affects any company that does business or sells to customers in Europe, said attorney Hal Ostrow of the Grand Rapids law firm Rhoades McKee PC. The regulation essentially gives end users more rights over personal data stored in systems with which they interact.
To comply, affected companies need to make sure their privacy policies and terms of service are up to date so users know what personal data has been stored. Companies must give users the ability to download their data and the right to opt to have their data stored, Ostrow said.
The regulation potentially could affect any business that interacts with users online, Ostrow said.
Potential penalties for violating the regulation are steep: 20 million Euros, or the equivalent of $23.5 million in the U.S., or 4 percent of worldwide revenue, whichever is higher. That's an amount Ostrow calls an "exorbitant and crippling fine" for many businesses.

Q: in flink processFunction, all mapstate is empty in onTimer() function I want implements the aggregationFunction by the processKeyedFunction, because the default aggregationFunction does not support rich function,
Besides, I tryed the aggreagationFunction + processWindowFunction(https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/stream/operators/windows.html), but it also cannot satisfy my needs, so I have to use the basic processKeyedFunction to implement the aggregationFunction, the detail of my problem is as followed:
in processFunction, , I define a windowState for stage the aggregation value of elements, the code is as followed:
public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {
followCacheMap = FollowSet.getInstance();
windowState = getRuntimeContext().getMapState(windowStateDescriptor);
currentTimer = getRuntimeContext().getState(new ValueStateDescriptor<Long>(
        "timer",
        Long.class
));

in processElement() function, I use the windowState (which is a MapState initiate in open function) to aggregate the window element, and register the first timeServie to clear current window state, the code is as followed:
 @Override
public void processElement(FollowData value, Context ctx, Collector<FollowData> out) throws Exception
{
      if ( (currentTimer==null || (currentTimer.value() ==null) || (long)currentTimer.value()==0 ) && value.getClickTime() != null) {
            currentTimer.update(value.getClickTime() + interval);
            ctx.timerService().registerEventTimeTimer((long)currentTimer.value());
        }
       windowState = doMyAggregation(value);
}

in onTimer() function, first, I register the next timeService in next One minute, and clear the window State
 @Override
    public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector<FollowData> out) throws Exception {
        currentTimer.update(timestamp + interval);   // interval is 1 minute
        ctx.timerService().registerEventTimeTimer((long)currentTimer.value());

        out.collect(windowState);
        windowState.clear();
     }

but when the program is running , I found that all the windowState in onTimer is empty, but it is not empyt in processElement() function,  I don't know why this happens, maybe the execution logic is different, how can I fix this,
Thanks in advance !

new added code about doMyAggregation() part

windowState is a MapState ,  key is "mykey", value is an self-defined Object AggregateFollow
public class AggregateFollow {
    private String clicked;
    private String unionid;
    private ArrayList allFollows;
    private int enterCnt;
    private Long clickTime;

}
and the doMyAggregation(value) function is pretty much like this , the function of doMyAggregation is to get all the value whose source field is 'follow', but if there are no values whose field is 'click' during  1 minute, the 'follow' value should be obsolete,   in a word , it's like a join operation of 'follow' data and 'click' data,
AggregateFollow acc = windowState.get(windowkey);
    String flag = acc.getClicked();
    ArrayList<FollowData> followDataList = acc.getAllFollows();
    if ("0".equals(flag)) {
        if ("follow".equals(value.getSource())) {
            followDataList.add(value);
            acc.setAllFollows(followDataList);
        }
        if ("click".equals(value.getSource())) {
            String unionid = value.getUnionid();
            clickTime = value.getClickTime();
            if (followDataList.size() > 0) {
                ArrayList listNew = new ArrayList();
                for (FollowData followData : followDataList) {
                    followData.setUnionid(unionid);
                    followData.setClickTime(clickTime);
                    followData.setSource("joined_flag");   //
                }
                acc.setAllFollows(listNew);
            }
            acc.setClicked("1");
            acc.setUnionid(unionid);
            acc.setClickTime(clickTime);
            windowState.put(windowkey, acc);
        }
    } else if ("1".equals(flag)) {
        if ("follow".equals(value.getSource())) {
            value.setUnionid(acc.getUnionid());
            value.setClickTime(acc.getClickTime());
            value.setSource("joined_flag");
            followDataList.add(value);
            acc.setAllFollows(followDataList);
            windowState.put(windowkey, acc);
        }
    }

because of performance problem,  original windowAPI is not a valid choice for me, the only way here I think is to use processFunction + ontimer and Guava Cache ,
Thanks a lot

A: If windowState is empty, it would be helpful to see what doMyAggregation(value) is doing.
It's difficult to debug this, or propose good alternatives, without more context, but out.collect(windowState) isn't going to work as intended. What you might want to do instead would be to iterate over this MapState and collect each key/value pair it contains to the output.

A: I changed the type of windowState from MapState to ValueState, and the problem is solved, maybe it is a bug or something, can anyone can explain this?

Q: Почему и как этот код работает? В 'd' ведь кладётся ссылка на дату, но в массиве, внутри, всё нормально заполняется var date = new Date();
var d = date;
d = [
    '0' + d.getDate(),
    '0' + (d.getMonth() + 1),
    '' + d.getFullYear(),
    '0' + d.getHours(),
    '0' + d.getMinutes()
      ];
alert();
alert(date);

A: Оператор присваивания в яваскрипте правоассоциативен - это означает, что сначала вычисляется значение правой части и лишь затем результат присваивается левой.
В данном случае сначала вычисляются значения массива, и лишь затем переменной d присваивается новое значение.

The space has some amazing benefits passed over from the co-workspace such as a one of a kind mural painted by the leader of POWwow Honolulu, Jasper Wong and four unique office spaces to be developed. The location is in a happening part of town, Kaka'ako, Honolulu and is perfectly set up between all the going ons but still has a little mystery as it is on a block with no other bars or late night business. The feel is an oasis in the middle of the madness completed by the an outside Garden Bar area already starting to bloom with moon flowers and other herbs and plants planed for the near future.
The first challenge was to define the space and outline of the two wells and add the bar top in. The space was divided in to the outside Garden Bar, the Main Floor, the banquettes by the bathrooms are in the Study and the four offices were given names, themes and unique spirits to feature VIP room specific craft cocktails menus. The four rooms are the Peacock Room featuring Agave Spirits, the Parlor featuring Absinthes and Amaros, The White Room featuring Gin and Vodka and the Whiskey Library stocked and poured by Workplay's own whiskey consultant. The rooms each feature comfortable seating and can be booked out for food and beverage minimums all through the day for meetings in the daytime and cocktails at night.
Once the space was laid out storage and shelving was needed for the back bar wall as well as to highlight the new coffee bar which is in use starting at 7 am! This place has the best latte in town as well as the best Manhattan! We added in a wine cellar that fits 1000 bottles and unique bar fixtures like a freezer drawer to host the clear cut ice, full size mixology stations and magnetic strips to stock tools on.
The furniture was picked to feel luxurious, Chesterfield couches are in all the rooms and big enough for a whole group to sit on, the bar stools are also leather and plush with hooks under the bar for each seat as well as charging stations for your laptop or your phone.
WorkPlay also features a large stage and very unique lighting fixtures in each space, chosen by the lead designer, Marshal Prather. The feather fixtures in the White Room, the Glass globes over the bar top and the Chinese lantern in the Parlor give great color differences in each of the spaces but still feel like part of the over all ambiance.
Even though you can't tell yet the final jewel in Workplay's crown is the Garden Bar. The carefully placed planters and trellis vines are slowly coming in but mark my words, one year from now you will feel like you are in a cool garden oasis hidden from the hot beating down sun and there will in fact be a bar outside for large events. The other benefit we haven't even mentioned is the stage, set for amazing sound quality and WorkPlay will be hosting live music Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting in late January.
WorkPlay is a bar that has been missing from the Honolulu scene, that classy place you can meet a coworker at for drinks in your work clothes and maybe mingle with other like minded young urban professionals. Who knows you may even get that contract signed over a libation with a perfectly clear ice cube making it Work but also Play. If you are visiting WorkPlay in the day time there is parking by the hour across the street until 8:30 pm and after 5 pm the 17 Redmont Construction Group parking spots are also available to WorkPlay guests.


The professional networking site LinkedIn recently released its annual list of the top skills employers are seeking in 2019. The compilation actually contains two parts, one revealing the most in-demand "hard" skills (knowledge and abilities required to perform specific tasks, often acquired through formal education and training) and another covering "soft" skills(interpersonal abilities and character traits valuable to numerous positions).
Take a look at these top skills employers are seeking in 2019 to be a more informed job seeker and land that job!
Among the skills presented on the lists, hiring managers and recruiters are bound to have particular entries that ring especially true from their own experiences.
Candidates possessing sought-after skills should make sure to clearly present them in their application material. Hiring managers will take notice of a cover letter detailing how you used creativity to help your former employer strengthen the company's brand on social media or a resume citing the two classes you took last year to enhance your knowledge of artificial intelligence.
While hard skills typically get presented as more "teachable" than soft ones, ways exist to improve them, too. LinkedIn Learning offers a range of online courses focused on soft skills that made the list, from a creativity bootcamp to finding your time management style. Or go to an online educational site such as Coursera and type in what ability you want to work on, such as collaboration.
Then, reinforce your talents during the interview with memorable examples. In the process of showcasing why you're a great fit, you'll demonstrate firsthand the desirable soft skill of persuasion!

Q: Dynamically generated select won't stay open I have a select element that is populated from files on a server and is created by loading a php script. It updates properly when new files are created or deleted, but it will not stay open upon clicking. It flashes open and disappears so I don't have a chance to select an option. Is there something in my code that is causing this behavior?
Here is my form and script that calls the PHP file:
<form action="/server/php/data/process.php" method="post">
     <select class="ui mini fluid search dropdown" id="templateSelection" type="text" name="selectTemplate" style="height:30px;border:2px solid #ccc;border-radius:none;" onchange="loadTemplate()">
          <option value="" selected="selected">Select Template</option>
     </select>
</form>

<script>
  $(function() {
     $.ajaxSetup ({
         cache: false
     });
     $("#templateSelection").click(function(){
       $(this).load('select_template.php');
     });
  });
</script>

Here is select_template.php:
<?php
     foreach(glob(dirname(__FILE__) . '/server/php/data/*.json') as $filename){
     $filename = basename($filename);
     echo "<option value='" . $filename . "'>".$filename."</option>";
  }
?>

A: The problem is that you are binding to a click function. That means, for every click you will reload the select. Use this script instead, to populate on page load and run only once:
$(function() {
  $.ajaxSetup ({
    cache: false
  });
  $("#templateSelection").load('select_template.php');
});

Annnnndddddd here we go again! Sorry I'm low on preambles these days. Busy days and nights. But I love answering these questions, and flipping through all the links to see how the rest of my fellow romance authors are answering. HINT: You should too!
Writing keeps me sane and happy. I've always written something, even as a little girl. I feel that my writing lets me explore ideas and situations that I wouldn't normally encounter. And sometimes, my writing offers me a "do over" for some regrettable events in my life. I also feel that I'm much more engaging and witty on paper than in real life. It's funny because when I'm with a group of friends they'll often say "That's the best you can come up with? You're a writer." To which I think, yea. I'm a writer. Not an orator. It takes me a while to come up with the right words.
The biggest compliment anyone can give me it to tell me that my novels made them laugh, and made them happy. I'm not out to write thought-provoking, debate worthy fiction. I want to create an escape for readers. To give them a mental break from serious thought and let them just have some moments of light-hearted escapism. I hope I succeed.
BING! Another week, over and done. Be sure to pop over and visit LaNora Mangano and see what she had to say this week!

Le camp Lemonnier, situé dans la ville de Djibouti, est un ancien camp de la Légion étrangère qui porte le nom du général Émile Lemonnier. Il a successivement servi au  interarmes d'outre-mer (RIAOM), aux forces terrestres djiboutiennes et abrite actuellement une base de la marine américaine ainsi que le siège de la force combinée américaine qui prend part à la lutte contre la piraterie autour de la Corne de l'Afrique.

Il porte le nom du général Émile Lemonnier, décapité par les Japonais pour avoir refusé de signer sa reddition en Indochine pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.

Base des troupes de Marine

Les forces françaises, arrivées en 1977 dans le cadre des accords de défense signés entre les deux pays, y installent le 5e régiment interarmes d'outre-mer .

Base de la marine américaine
L'installation américaine date du 17 juin 2002 et la base expéditionnaire a été inaugurée en septembre 2002.

Le camp, identifié par le sigle CLDJ, est la seule base militaire américaine permanente en Afrique. Il abrite essentiellement des Marines et gère des avions, hélicoptères et drones de l'US Air Force et de l'US Navy. La Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), un des commandements de l'AFRICOM, s'y installe en mai 2003.

Le loyer payé par le gouvernement américain à la République de Djibouti est de  de dollars par an en 2010. Depuis 2007, la gestion du camp est assurée par Pacific Architects and Engineers, ancienne filiale de Lockheed Martin vendue en février 2011 à Lindsay Goldberg, pour environ  de dollars par an.

À la suite d'aménagements estimés à  de dollars, cette base peut accueillir, en temps normal, ,  et  d'une force opérationnelle auquel pourraient s'ajouter, en cas de besoin,  aéronefs,  et  d'une force opérationnelle.

L'accord passé entre l'ambassade américaine à Djibouti et le gouvernement djiboutien permet aux forces américaines d'utiliser le camp et prévoit l'accès à l'aéroport international Ambouli ainsi qu'aux installations portuaires. Avec l'ouverture d'un front de lutte anti-terroriste en Afrique, ce sont plus de  qui travaillent dans cette base et une  de drones qui opèrent du Mali à la Somalie.

À la fin de 2013, à la suite de l'encombrement de l'aéroport et de cinq accidents de drones sur celui-ci depuis 2011, il a été décidé de transférer les activités liées aux drones sur l'aérodrome de Chabelley après l'aménagement de celui-ci qui se situe à une dizaine de kilomètres au sud-ouest de Camp Lemonnier. Une photo satellite prise en octobre 2013 montre  et  sur cet aérodrome alors qu'il n'y avait rien en octobre 2012.

Faute de moyens devant l'émergence de nouvelles missions, le 60th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron qui opérait les MQ-1 Predators a été dissous en octobre 2015, et ses moyens redéployés. Ceux-ci ont effectué une centaine de frappes entre 2010 et 2015.

Base de l'armée japonaise

En 2011,  cent cinquante soldats japonais hébergés provisoirement dans les installations américaines, vont rejoindre leur nouvelle base, sur un terrain de  concédé par l'État djiboutien. Leur objectif est la lutte anti-piraterie au large de la Somalie, dans laquelle ils sont engagés depuis 2009.

Armée italienne
À la suite d'un accord stipulé en juillet 2012 par le ministère de la Défense italien, l'Italie a été autorisée à installer à Djibouti une base militaire. Elle y déploie des forces militaires pour « contrer la piraterie ».

Ich bin bei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten darauf angesprochen worden, dass neben den

(Doppel-)Vortrag](/event/2015/12/03/weihnachtsdoppelvortrag.html),
der nicht so viel mit Java, oder gar dem Arbeitsalltag zu tun hat, dafür aber bestimmt eine
Menge Ideen liefert wie man die Feiertage verbringen kann, ohne die IDE all zu lange alleine zu lassen.

Polar Dream
8 Nights Antarctica Fly Cruise Expedition
If the thought of Antarctica has always tempted you but the Drake Passage has always held you back, then we have the answer. This voyage takes advantage of the only runway in the region, and offers spectacular views while at it! Board Silver Explorer right in the heart of Antarctica, and get ready to discover the many facets of the frozen frontier at the end of the earth. Just without the seasickness.
Day 1 Punta Arenas, Chile
Fly to Punta Arenas and check in the hotel included in the itinerary.
Day 2 Business Class Fly to King George Island, Antarctica
As the largest of all the South Shetland Island, King George is considered the gateway to Antarctica. At just 120 kilometres from the Antarctic Peninsula and the only airport in the South Shetlands, it is the connection between "real life" and "Antarctic life". More than 10 different nations have year-round or summer-only scientific research stations on the island (considering that 90% of the island is covered by snow and ice, that is quite an achievement!). Maintaining a base on the island allows membership of the Antarctic Treaty. There is even a Russian Orthodox church, with a permanent on-site priest. The island might be home to a few international scientists, but they are very much outnumbered by the diverse wildlife that considers King George Island rightfully theirs. Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo Penguins all commute to and from the Antarctic peninsula from the island, while Weddell and leopard seals are regular visitors and can be spotted either in the water or on the shore. Naturally, this brings a huge amount of birdlife: skuas and southern giant petrels are regular summer residents, attracted by the warm climate (warm being a relative term, average temperature is between 1.5 and -6.5˚C). The island was named after King George III after British explorer discovered it in 1819. Since then the island has been claimed by both Chile (1940) and Argentina (1943), but remains part of British Antarctic Territory.
Day 3 Antarctic Sound
Few voyages ignite the imagination like a journey down to one of the planet's most remote, extreme and enchanting wilderness, Antarctica. An adventure in its purest form, only a handful of people will ever be lucky enough to experience the majestic beauty of these monochrome landscapes first-hand. The Antarctic Sound will be one of your first encounters of this whitewash kingdom, located at the northerly tip of the Antarctic Peninsula - which sprawls up like a tentacle towards Tierra del Fuego, South America's most southerly point, otherwise known as the 'End of the World'. Taking its name from the first ship to brave the passageway between the peninsular and the Joinville Island groups back in 1902, the Sound is a raw, sensory assault of imposing iceberg slabs, broken away from the disintegrating Larsen Ice Shelf. Come face-to-face with stadium-sized islands of ice and meet the extraordinary birdlife that call this whitewash kingdom home.
Watch on, as colonies of Gentoo penguins hop around, and cape petrels sweep overhead, as the continent's unique wildlife thrives around you. If you're planning your first venture into Antarctica, you'll want to brush up on your photography skills in advance, to capture this unforgiving continent in all of its unrestrained glory. Read our blog for tips on how to ensure that your photos do justice to the adventure of a lifetime.
Day 4-6 Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula unravels upwards towards South America, reaching out a beckoning finger to the adventurous, who dare to explore this untamed realm. Stretching up from the heart of the world's southernmost continent, the Antarctic Peninsula lies a mere 620 mile from Tierra del Fuego and, for many, offers a spectacular first taste of the snow-blanketed landscapes and colossal ice sculptures, which make up Earth's least-explored continent. Unseen by humans until 1820 - a blink of an eye ago in relative terms - this is an adventure sure to make your hairs stand on end, as you experience the thrill of the truly unknown and extraordinary. The vast peninsula is sprinkled with research bases, which are at the frontline of human scientific endeavour, pushing to study and understand this unique landscape, its exceptional wildlife, and the impact that humans are having on this pristine continent.
Witness cathedral-sized icebergs up close, and blue-hued glaciers, slowly slipping from imposing locations like Hope Bay. Blanched mountain peaks cover the peninsula, and you'll find thousands of adorable Adelie penguin pairs thriving undisturbed in this peninsula's unique setting.
Day 7 South Shetland Islands
The ice-coated Antarctic Peninsula forms perhaps the most accessible region of mainland Antarctica, lying a mere 480-miles away from South America, across the fabled waters of Drakes Passage. Lying close to the northwestern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, separated by the Bransfield Strait, the South Shetland Islands fall under the jurisdiction of the Antarctic Treaty, suspending claims on their sovereignty. Several countries maintain research bases here, and with plump elephant seals, and crowds of Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie Penguins also calling the islands home, it can even feel a little crowded at times. King George Island is the largest and most hospitable island, hosting the majority of the research stations - some of which are populated all-year-round by tiny, hardy crews. Don't be fooled though, these islands offer extraordinary adventure in one of the most remote locations on earth. The triple peaks of Mount Foster tower above the archipelago, and you'll feel your heart pumping a little quicker, as you sail into the core of Deception Island's magnificent collapsed volcano caldera. Hike the luna landscapes within, and even dip into the improbably warm, geothermally-heated waters of Pendulum Cove. Elephant Island, meanwhile, is written deep into the annals of Antarctic expedition legend, as the site where Ernest Shackleton and the stricken crew of the Endurance miraculously survived a harsh Antarctic winter, in 1916.
Day 8 King George Island, Antarctica
As the largest of all the South Shetland Island, King George is considered the gateway to Antarctica. At just 120 kilometres from the Antarctic Peninsula and the only airport in the South Shetlands, it is the connection between "real life" and "Antarctic life". More than 10 different nations have year-round or summer-only scientific research stations on the island (considering that 90% of the island is covered by snow and ice, that is quite an achievement!).

Since then the island has been claimed by both Chile (1940) and Argentina (1943), but remains part of British Antarctic Territory.

The Great Fear of 1857: Rumours, Conspiracies and the Making of the Indian Uprising
By: Kim A. Wagner
About the Book The Indian Uprising of 1857 had a profound impact on the colonial psyche, and its spectre haunted the British until the very last days of the Raj. For the past 150 years most aspects of the Uprising have been subjected to intense scrutiny by historians, yet the nature of the outbreak itself remains obscure. What was the extent of the conspiracies and plotting? How could rumours of contaminated ammunition spark a mutiny when not a single greased cartridge was ever distributed to the sepoys? Based on a careful, even-handed reassessment of the primary sources, The Great Fear of 1857 explores the existence of conspiracies during the early months of that year and presents a compelling and detailed narrative of the panics and rumours which moved Indians to take up arms. With its fresh and unsentimental approach, this book offers a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial events in the history of British India. Printed Pages: 344

Are Avani's Cassava-Based Eco Bags the Perfect Solution?
Have you heard of the 100% cassava bag? Could they be the answer to the single-use plastic bag epidemic?
We all know that plastic has become an issue, especially when it comes to the affect that it has on ocean life. Trying to find a solution is Avani. They have come up with cassava-plastic that they produce to be used for products including plastic bags, food packaging, and covers for hospital beds.
Launched back in 2014, Avani is driven by the fact that every year, an estimated of 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. "Avani's cassava-based eco bags are the perfect replacement to mitigate this horrible worldwide epidemic. Made from purely 100% bio-based material and they have been considered as one of the lowest cost for cassava-based bioplastic", explained someone from the Avani team.
The cassava-based eco bags were the idea of entrepreneur Kevin Kumala. He wanted to solve the problem of plastic pollution and his solution was to create the kind of plastic that leaves no trace, so he made the bags out of Cassava, a cheap and common root vegetable that can be found across Indonesia. The end product was a bag that was 100% made from renewable bio-based, not oil. The customizable bag, can be dissolved in a matter of less than 150 days when discarded in bodies of water. Safe to consume for land and marine animals, the bags can be recycled along with paper. "I was with a friend sitting outside a bar and we were seeing hundreds of motorcyclists wearing vinyl ponchos," he recalls. "It clicked that these disgusting, toxic ponchos would be used a few times and then discarded, but they would not decompose," Kumala told CNN.
That all being said, it has been reported that the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has been sceptical of bioplastics, noting that some purportedly "biodegradable" plastics do not break down completely and leave toxic residue. This has not deterred Kumala. He continues to exemplify the dynamism of the bioplastics industry with his Avani products, even securing funding from a private equity group, with the hopes of expanding his business.

BMW R18 Classic First Edition launched: All you need to know
Following the premiere of the BMW R18 last year, BMW Motorrad India has now introduced the second member of its new cruiser segment, the R 18 Classic. Priced at Rs 24 lakh (ex-showroom), the all-new BMW R18 Classic First Edition can be ordered as a completely built-up unit (CBU) from today onwards through the BMW Motorrad dealer network..
In the all-new BMW R18 Classic, a timeless design is merged with clear-cut yet contemporary technology to create a fascinating overall concept – offering a riding experience that is as cultivated as it is emotional. While the R18 is purist in style, the R18 Classic features a large windscreen, passenger seat, saddle bags, LED additional headlights and 16-inch front wheel.
1802 cc boxer engine
The all-new BMW R18 Classic is powered by a newly developed air/oil cooled two-cylinder boxer engine – the most powerful boxer in series production by BMW. The massive 1,802 cc engine resulting from a 107.1 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It produces an output of 91 hp at 4,750 rpm. The maximum torque of 158 Nm is already available at 3,000 rpm, with more than 150 Nm available at any time from 2,000 – 4,000 rpm. This elemental pulling power is combined with a full, resonant sound.
Two gearbox shafts
ALSO READ: BMW R 18 First Edition launched: Top 8 things to know
A single-disc dry clutch transmits the torque to the transmission. For the first time, it is designed as a self-reinforcing anti-hopping clutch, thereby eliminating unwanted rear wheel hop. The constant mesh 6-speed transmission is in a dual-section aluminum housing and is designed as a 4-shaft transmission with helical gear pairs. The gearbox input shaft with lug dampers drives the two gearbox shafts with the gear wheel pairs via a countershaft. A reverse gear is available as an optional extra.
In terms of the suspension, the all-new BMW R18 Classic sports a double loop steel tube frame. The rear swing arm surrounds the rear axle transmission in authentic style. The suspension elements deliberately dispense with electronic adjustment options. Instead, a telescopic fork and a directly mounted central suspension strut with travel-dependent damping and adjustable spring preload ensure superior wheel control and better suspension comfort. The braking system consists of a twin disc brake at the front and a single disc brake at the rear in conjunction with four-piston fixed callipers.
Unusual in its segment, the all-new BMW R18 Classic offers three standard riding modes – 'Rain', 'Roll' and 'Rock' to suit individual rider preferences. In 'Rain' mode, throttle response is gentler and riding dynamics allow a high safety over slippery road surface. In 'Roll' mode, the engine offers optimum throttle response while riding dynamics achieve ideal performance on all roads. 'Rock' mode allows riders to tap into the full dynamic potential – throttle response is very spontaneous and direct, while Automatic Stability Control allows a little more slip.
The all-new BMW R18 Classic boasts a list of important standard features. The disengageable traction control, Automatic Stability Control provides perfect control, whether the road is dry or wet. Dynamic Engine Brake Control electronically prevents the sliding of rear wheel by sudden closure of throttle or back spacing. Hill Start Control,BMW Motorrad Integral ABS (partially integral),Keyless Ride system and Electronic Cruise Control are part of the standard features.
BMW Motorrad has also collaborated with renowned international brands to further add to the diverse range of accessories and customization. Created in collaboration with Roland Sands Design, two different design collections of milled aluminium parts are available – 'Machined' and '2-Tone-Black'. In cooperation with Mustang Seats, high-quality, hand-made seats are offered in different variants for a variety of purposes. Developed in cooperation with Vance & Hines, a custom exhaust system is available in chrome or with a scratch-resistant black ceramic coating.

Dafi Kühne is a Swiss designer who works with analogue and digital techniques to produce fresh and unique letterpress-printed posters. Using very different kinds of tools — from a computer to a pantograph — for his compositions, he pushes the boundaries of design. Never afraid of getting his hands dirty in his creative workshop, Dafi Kühne embraces the labor involved in the entire process of creating a poster, from initial idea to finished product. Fusing modern means with the century-old tradition of letterpress, he forms a new vocabulary for how to communicate through type and form in a truly contemporary way. Never retro, his work is a clever response to the search for new possibilities of graphic expression: true print.
Dafi Kühne, born in 1982, is a graphic designer. He studied Visual Communication at Zurich University of the Arts and owns a design and letterpress printing studio named babyinktwice in a remote Swiss mountain valley. In his studio, he designs and prints typographic posters for music, art, architecture, theatre and film projects, but also for products. All his posters go through the process of letterpress printing on a traditional press. No PDF ever leaves his studio as a finished product. For the reproduction of his posters, Dafi uses a variety of tools from a Computer, to traditional set type, pantograph cut new type, laser engraved pear wood blocks, hand cast plastic resin… Just with one goal, to push the quality and the boundaries of his designs.


This book is rare & then some. In all the years I have been searching for out-of-print books & especially Bargello Needlepoint books, I had not seen or known of this book before I found the first copy of it. This is the 2nd copy of Erica's book I have found. In truth, it is barely in good condition. The book itself is good. The paperbound covers are worn at the edges but the pages inside are very good.
It is the plastic spiral binder that is the trouble. It is shredded, falls apart more every time I touch it. I have managed a fix, sort of. I have inserted stainless steel binder rings along the plastic bound spine. This will perserve the book and keep the pages together no matter how odd it looks.
This is a Very Rare book.
Crewel Embroidery 1962, Fun With Crewel Embroidery 1965, The Craft Of Crewel Embroidery 1971, The Craft of Silk and Gold Thread Embroidery 1973, Needleplay 1975, More Needleplay 1979, Ask Erica 1977, The Animal Kingdom of Erica Wilson 1977, Say It With Stitches 1977, For The Baby 1991.
Plus her 2 TV shows for PBS.
Erica Wilson's Bargello is self-published by Erica Wilson's Creative Needlework Society, copyrighted in 1974.
"A step-by-step course, made easy as A, B, C, teaching 16 different Bargello patterns, each framed with a Twist Stitch Border."
The book begins with some background on bargello, then General Instructions. This book is suitable for a beginner to Bargello, everything is shown clearly & explained.
Each Pattern has a good size graph, a picture of the pattern stitched, a color use guide and instructions.
There are many pictures in this book, all of them in black & white. The color placement guide colors are each a different graphic pattern so you can tell where they go.
I am impressed by the layout and instruction in this book.
As I said, self published in 1974. This is a (once) glossy cover paperbound book with a plastic spiral binding.
Eric Wilson's Bargello has 53 pages.

Ex Manchester United & England legend admits speeding but says the papers were served late
He was not at Wimbledon Magistrates Court for the hearing but was represented by 'Mr Loophole' Nick Freeman.
in Football, Sport
David Beckham admitted driving nearly 20mph over the speed limit in a loaned Bentley but denies speeding because legal papers were served late, his lawyer, dubbed 'Mr Loophole' claims.
The former England superstar, 43, will stand trial later this month after he was caught driving a £200,000 Bentley at 59mph in a 40mph zone in January.
His solicitor Nick Freeman, dubbed Mr Loophole for representing several celebrities facing driving charges, said it was "admitted" Beckham was behind the wheel and broke the limit.
But during a hearing at Wimbledon Magistrates Court today (TUE), Mr Freeman indicated a not guilty plea on Beckham's behalf because he claimed legal papers about the offence were not served on time.
A trial date of September 27 was set during the case management hearing, which Beckham did not attend.
District Judge Barbara Barnes asked Mr Freeman: "That's admitted, the driver and the speed?"
Mr Freeman said: "Yes."
He said the car was a "loan vehicle" from Bentley so a notice of intended prosecution was sent to the manufacturer instead of Beckham after it was clocked speeding.
But the letter was not received until more than the legal time limit of two weeks after the alleged offence on January 23, Mr Freeman said.
The court heard the letter, which was dated February 2, was not received by Bentley until February 7.
He said: "I don't accept it was served on the second. At the moment I don't have the chronology so I don't know.
"I accept the date on it is the second. As I understand it that's the date it was printed. Not the date it was served."
Mr Freeman added: "What I'm saying is the notice is defective because it arrived out of time."
The court was told a stamp to indicate receipt of the letter was dated February 7.
Prosecutor Simon Maughan said: "I'm accepting of the letter, I'm accepting of the date on the letter, I'm accepting that the seventh has been stamped on the letter.
"There can be no issue with the date on the letter."
Beckham, of Holland Park, west London, allegedly broke the limit while driving on the A40 flyover in Paddington, central London.
District Judge Barbara Barnes said: "I will fix the trial date on September 27."
Referring to the punishment if Beckham is found guilty, she said: "I think we're in unlimited fines territory."
She added: "Service of the intended prosecution should be received within 14 days. The defence say it was outside 14 days."
Asked whether Beckham would be present at the trial, Mr Freeman said: "I don't anticipate it."
He added: "If the case goes against him and if the result is disqualification then I will make it absolutely clear."
Beckham also did not attend an earlier hearing at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court on August 28.
According to the charge sheet on that date, he sent his not guilty plea by post on August 17.

We've reached a really fun age around here. The age of sous chef. I don't know which one of us enjoys it more!
Those stoves must be the international stoves of expat wives. I have one just like it in Afghanistan. Nava looks so cute up there and what a good little helper.


There are some large, unreached people groups in the north of Ghana. They have been resistant to various attempts by missionaries and churches to reach them with the Gospel. In recent years however, small congregations have started springing up here and there. These people groups have low education and literacy rates coupled with high poverty, which is quite a contrast to the southern parts of Ghana.
A number of Ghanaian churches have outreach in the north. They have have had modest success in evangelism and church planting. As Bibles were translated into the languages, some of them began literacy programs for members of their churches so that the Bibles could be used.
They funneled money from their churches in the south for to support the literacy effort. Literacy has had effects no one really expected, and those effects have been so big that two of the churches have changed their strategy for growing their churches in the north.
Keep in mind that most of the rural Christians were poor, subsistence farmers with little or no education. Prior to learning to read, their only participation in church was to sit and listen. Neither they nor church leaders thought that they had any role to play. When church leaders organized literacy classes, their hope was that these believers would be able to grow in faith through reading their Bibles. That happened, but much, much more.
Some of the Christians who attended literacy classes started seriously reading the Bibles in their languages. I'm not talking about reading a few verses a day. One man told me how he read the New Testament clear through 5 or 6 times in the month following the dedication. Where the whole Bible has been translated, some of those previously uneducated and illiterate peasant farmers used their newly acquired literacy skills to read their Bibles through multiple times in short order and then to continue reading it through every few months. They became known in their communities as Bible experts.
Literacy took them way beyond being able to grow in their personal faith – they became a faith resource for others. People came to them asking questions about the Bible and about Christianity. They started teaching Bible and Sunday school classes in their language. Some became lay preachers in their churches. A few have weekly FM radio broadcasts in which they explain the Bible or have a call-in segment where listeners can ask questions. In some cases, clerics from other religions come and ask them questions.
Not that long ago, these local Bible experts were simple pew sitters. Churches have realized that they need to recognize these lay preachers and include them in their pastoral staff, both because that seemed reasonable and because they are more effective than the more educated pastors sent to the north from other parts of Ghana who have to learn the languages. But these newly-literate lay preachers have provoked yet another change that goes way beyond the church to affect their whole community. Before, many people from northern Ghana considered that Christianity was not a religion them.
They thought that Christianity was the religion for the more educated peoples of the south of Ghana. But now the local lay preacher is from a family that has lived in the community since before anyone can remember, is widely respected, and preaches and teaches in the language of the community. Faced with that, people change their mind about his religion being only for people from somewhere else.
Bible translation and literacy for believers is radically altering the perceptions about Christianity, they are changing it from being generally considered a foreign import to something that is becoming an accepted part of the community – an understandable and acceptable choice. This hasn't happened everywhere yet. There are still communities where the churches have not organized literacy classes. There, Christianity remains a religion for others.

Ed, last night we went to the Wycliffe Associates banquet. Don Richardson was the speaker. He gave several illustrations of cultures with keys to the gospel. In your time in Africa, have you found any?
There are LOTS! Every time translators work through the translation of key theological words like salvation, grace or redemption; we translators find such keys. Most of the time they do result in the kind of dramatic story that is The Peace Child, but they might be even more effective. For example, traditional religion throughout Africa includes the belief in one, almighty creator God. Christianity has exploded throughout that area with some countries, like Congo, having 90%+ of the population as Christians. But in Asia where polytheism is widespread (or religions without much of a concept of God or gods), Christianity has grown only slowly. So the connections with the biggest impact might be the kind that don't produce great stories for Western Christians.
Another example is the Akan people of Ghana have an annual purification ritual and festival. It's one of their most important festivals and rituals. The translators used the same word used to name the purification ritual in Hebrews 9:13, to show that such rites and festivals cannot bring the kind of purification Christ can. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+9:12-14&version=ESV That doesn't make for a great story, but it is very effective in teaching and discipleship.

Road To Dispossession: Locals Pushed Aside For Trans-Crimea Highway
Viktoria Veselova, Robert Coalson August 13, 2017
KERCH, Ukraine -- For years and even decades, residents of the Crimean city of Kerch have tended orchards and gardens in the green dacha community of Zaliv.
But in recent days they have watched in anger and sadness as bulldozers and other construction machinery have begun clearing the area to make way for the construction of a highway that is planned to someday span the entire Crimean Peninsula and connect to the Kerch Bridge. The local Kerch.FM outlet posted a video in which angry locals watch as their trees crash to the ground.
"These are real barbarians," one woman is heard saying. "It looks like they are enjoying destroying not just the land, but the people, too. They don't have a gram of shame or conscience. They are the lords here, and we are nobodies."
Since Russia illegally annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in early 2014, Moscow has pledged billions of dollars to build the infrastructure necessary to connect the region with the Russian mainland to the east. The signature project is the 19-kilometer road-and-railway currently being built across the Kerch Strait at a cost of some $5 billion.
Last week, builders began the process of moving the span's iconic white arches into place and on August 7, Moscow prompted protests from Kyiv by announcing periodic closures of the Kerch Strait to shipping, effectively cutting off southeastern Ukraine. The strait will be closed for 23 days in August and September. On August 9, the waterway was closed for 12 hours.
To meet the bridge on the Crimean side, Russia plans a modern, four-lane highway running the approximately 400 kilometers from Kerch in the northeast to Sevastopol in the southwest. The highway will pass through Feodosia, Bilohirsk (Belogorsk), the Crimean capital of Simferopol, and Bakhchisarai.
On May 12, local and Russian officials moved the inaugural shovelful of dirt on the $2.1 billion project outside of Belgorod. The road is currently scheduled for completion in 2020.
People in Kerch and other locations along the planned route are already feeling the pain, however. Some 80 families from one Kerch neighborhood were forcibly relocated to new, hastily constructed apartments. But many of them complained to RFE/RL that the work wasn't finished and that the construction was substandard. They complain of cracks in the foundations and walls, of leaking water producing mold on the walls, and of faulty sewage lines.
To make matters worse, although they moved weeks ago and their old homes have been made ready for the wrecking ball, they have not received ownership documents for their new flats. Officials say the paperwork will come later this month or, perhaps, in September.
In the Zaliv dacha community, local Tatyana Vasilevna owns a small plot that is slated to be razed.
"And they aren't paying us proper compensation," she told RFE/RL. "We are upset -- and it is not just me. There are 17 of us. According to the land register, my plot is worth 480,000 rubles [$8,000]. But the officials assessed it at 313,000. What can I buy for that kind of money? I don't understand how it can be. There is one price in the official registry but they dictate another to me! They are dictators!"
On the edge of Kerch, there is a prehistoric Slavic burial mound, or "kurgan." In May, researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences studied the site and identified separate burial tombs for different families. The mound developed over a long period of time, merging gradually into a single kurgan. Although the researchers recommended additional excavations, the site is slated to be leveled for the new highway.
Across Crimea, so far, more than 100 land parcels and/or buildings have been seized. In the village of Sovhozne, 20 local families have lost their homes, while other locals are concerned about the pollution and noise that the new highway will bring.
Abdureshit Dzhepparov, coordinator of the Crimean Contact Group for Human Rights, says the highway construction could be an ecological disaster for the peninsula. He worries that local residents and businesses will try to cash in by providing gravel and other natural resources for the project without any controls from officials focused on delivering Russian President Vladimir Putin's highway on time.
At the end of July, officials published a list of about two dozen unofficial memorial crosses placed at the scenes of traffic crashes that will also be removed and requested that families take them down by the end of August.
"If they are not taken down, they will be removed and recycled," the Russian-installed administration's statement said. "When the deadline expires, no complaints on this matter will be accepted."

Q: Juego de gato inteligente Soy principiante en java y estoy haciendo un juego de gato, necesito que tenga un metodo en el cual la maquina juega al azar y otro en el cual juega calculadamente, tratando de vencer al usuario.
No tengo idea de como empezar para hacer que la maquina trate activamente de vencer al jugador en cada turno.
Este es el codigo que tengo hasta al momento, me faltan un par de cosas y limpiarlo un poco pero quiero tener por lo menos una base o idea de como implementar este metodo competitivo antes de seguir en caso de que tenga algo catastroficamente equivocado.

A: Tu juego el "gato" me resulto dificil de sacarlo, hasta que me di cuenta que es el "tateti", como se lo llama en Argentina. Pero bueno en fin, pude solucionar tu problema.
Problemas principales

*

*Faltaba un ciclo principal que permitiera seguir introduciendo entradas mientras haya espacio disponible en la tabla (mediante un contador) o mientras no hayas ganado tu o la máquina

*Faltaba introducir un ciclo donde mientras el espacio generado automáticamente (para la máquina) no esté ocupado por un X o O, se pudiera generar otro. Lo mismo para las coordenadas ingresadas por el usuario

*Se necesitaba comprobar cada vez que el usuario o la maquina terminaban de generar una marca en el tablero, si dicho usuario u oponente habia hecho tateti
Las demás correcciones fueron mínimas, pero que de igual forma impactaron en la obtención del objetivo
En cuanto al código restante estaba bien hecho, por eso solo te voy a mostrar el codigo donde introduje cambios.

Japan's May Iran crude imports slide ahead of sanctions

TOKYO, June 28 (Reuters) – Japan's crude imports from Iran almost halved in May from a year ago as refiners in the world's third-largest economy lifted less oil in advance of an EU ban on insurance for shipments from the Middle Eastern country that goes into effect on Sunday.
Customs-cleared imports of oil from Iran fell 46.5 percent in May from a year earlier to 106,162 barrels per day (523,233 kilolitres), data from Japan's Ministry of Finance showed on Thursday. They fell 7.4 percent from 118,450 bpd in April.
Japan has been cutting purchases from Iran before the insurance ban starts even though its demand for oil has risen to fuel power plants after all the country's nuclear stations were shut down in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.
Overall crude imports rose 7.1 percent to about 3.4 million barrels a day in May, according to the ministry.
Iranian oil accounted for nearly 9 percent of Japan's crude imports last year. Japan has reduced the flow already to comply with U.S. sanctions requiring buyers to make sizeable cuts.
Iran acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday that its oil exports have fallen sharply, down 20-30 percent from normal volumes of 2.2 million barrels daily.
Crude buyers in Japan, South Korea, China and India, Iran's biggest Asian customers, have had to cut shipments because they rely on European insurers to cover liabilities for accidents and oil spills.
Around 90 percent of the world's tanker fleet is covered by Western-based protection and indemnity (P&I) clubs, which insure against personal injury and environmental clean-up claims.
Japan's parliament last week passed a law that provides coverage for shipments from Iran, the first country to try to get around the insurance ban, but buyers held off from making significant nominations for next month.
Japan nominated loadings of 120,000 bpd for both June and July, sources said, unchanged from May but down significantly from a year earlier, to comply with sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
The United States and the European Union accuse Iran of trying to build nuclear weapons. Tehran says the programme is strictly for civilian purposes. (Reporting by Osamu Tsukimori; Editing by Aaron Sheldrick and Ed Davies)

The requirement of dedicating 6Mhz of spectrum to satellite services, which is a requirement of the LightSquared waiver, would be an impediment to those MSS operators who lack a robust inventory of available spectrum. A requirement the FCC would surely require of any "waiver applicant". The FCC has made it clear that it has no intentions of providing a "level playing field" in the MSS industry.
The waiver analysis (pp16-18 of the FCC Order), which is the basis for finding "good cause" does not reference the 6MHz that LightSquared has promised to reserve for satellite services. Clearly any other applicant would have to ensure that there was sufficient capacity for MSS, it was actively marketed and that there were dual mode devices available. However, that is a considerably less difficult hurdle to meet than being prepared to invest billions of dollars to rollout a terrestrial network.
Undoubtedly Globalstar would argue that it was attempting to do similar things through its deal with Open Range. However, the critical difference may be that Open Range was never going to provide competition for AT&T and Verizon, while that has been an explicit part of the LightSquared/FCC agreement from the get-go. The FCC could still achieve this objective if the 2GHz spectrum is used to build out such a network, whether or not LightSquared is successful.
The 6Mhz reserved for dedicated satellite services is set forth under Action and Conditions (pp18).
However, it should be noted that paragraph 33. (pp17), the FCC espouses the advantages of providing LightSquared flexibility to rural operators. It explains.
While three months earlier, the same International Bureau claimed that the public interest in improving the ability of small, rural wireless providers was NOT sufficient to override the ATC gating requirements.
Here now, Lightsquared's "ATC compliant terminals" equal Globalstar's "non-compliant ATC terminals" Globalstar is required to provide High Speed MSS services as a condition, while it's MSS competitors have no such requirement.
The differences in regulatory "policy" between two direct competitors in the same market is not trivial.
If the "policy" of the FCC is to transition what they perceive as "excess MSS capacity" into competitive CMRS spectrum. Then that should have been the outcome of the decision.
Providing a highly uneven regulatory environment amongst MSS competitors that will drastically change the competitive environment to favor a single MSS provider, in exchange for providing additional competition to terrestrial CMRS licensees is not an acceptable exchange.
Therefore, it is our opinion, that since the FCC has indicated that there is no "policy" in place to provide a level playing field amongst LightSquard's MSS competitors as it pertains to like flexibility. Lightsquared should be required to "spin off" it's MSS business and the 6Mhz of MSS only spectrum to allow a level, compeitive playing field amongst MSS licensees.
