Treasure among cacao farmers
By SM Pangasinan News At 9:52 PM 0
In developing their brand Auro Chocolate, co-founders Kelly Go and Mark Mendoza Ocampo understood that the farmers they would be working with would play a very important role. They knew that by working directly with farmers, the benefits they could share with them would also be more direct. This collaboration, however, did not happen without any hiccups.
"We work very intensively with farmers, but we aren't farmers. That's very challenging initially. We need to spend a lot of time to learn from each other," Kelly shares.
From Chicago and Manila, they then found themselves in Paquibato, Davao, a treasure trove for special cacao, but an area which has had its share of armed conflicts. Understandably, the people were initially suspicious of outsiders like Kelly and Mark. The duo, however, found cacao farmer Jose Saguban, who was willing to work with them.
Four years after they started their partnership, Mang Jose, Kelly and Mark found themselves in Paris, France, accepting the recognition as one of the top 20 best cacao bean producers in the world from the International Cocoa Awards in 2019—a first for the Philippines. The recognition meant more than just prestige for Mang Jose and the people of Paquibato. Now, their district is also associated with good quality chocolates. Mang Jose is also able to support his family because of his job.
"Everybody in Paquibato is just proud. Mang Jose symbolizes an ordinary Filipino farmer, and with the right resources and right assistance, what we can achieve," Kelly says.
Aside from Mang Jose, Auro Chocolate works with five farming cooperatives and around 50 individual farmers. The impact of this partnership is then extended to the families of these farmers.
"We provide them with a lot of assistance, trainings and workshops and business fundamentals—things that will holistically empower their communities," Kelly shares about their work with farmers.
For Auro Chocolate, their products are not just sweet treats. They evoke the stories of the communities they engage with.
"We are a channel to share farmer stories, not only their product, which is cacao. But most importantly, their stories, and their journey," Kelly says.
To know more about Auro Chocolate, visit https://aurochocolate.com/. Auro chocolates are available in Kultura stores located inside the SM Malls. You may also order Auro chocolates and other uniquely Filipino products online at www.kulturafilipino.com launching soon.

More and More New Technologies are Becoming Available for Mobile Phone Charging.
Charging mobile phones has become routine experience for most individuals. Those that use smartphones could even charge up to twice a day as the gadget uses up more batteries than conventional cellular phone units.
There are several new technologies now that could improve the cellular phone charging experience. Some are even environment-friendly as it utilizes sustainable energy.
Those that are on-the-go but would love to have lesser carbon foot print, might want to try greener mobile charging options using recycled cardboard mini batteries. Inhabitat.com shared this revolutionary and environment-friendly way of charging cellphones, "Sick of carrying around cables and bulky chargers? Tired of searching out plugs and waiting for your phone to charge? This award-winning cardboard battery concept is disposable, biodegradable and will give you a charge for two, four or six hours." The batteries are very small and could be carried around even on the pocket.
Cellphone charging shouldn't be a pain especially with these new technology aiming to just do what Smartphones do for its users – make their lives easier.

Baby gray whale spotted with mother off Southern California coast
DANA POINT, Calif. — A baby gray whale heading south with its mother was spotted swimming alongside dolphins and sea lions off the Southern California coast.
Crew members on a whale-watching boat recorded video of the pair in about 100 feet (30 meters) of water near Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point on Tuesday.
Capt. Frank Brennan aboard Dana Wharf's Ocean Adventure estimated that the calf was just a day or so old.
"You could still see the fetal folds on it behind the blowhole," he said of the young whale.
Brennan told the Orange County Register he followed the pair as white-sided dolphins stopped feeding to check the whales out. The dolphins and whales were then joined by a group of sea lions.
The whales are migrating to the lagoons of Baja, Mexico.

SI Top 200 Fantasy Players: Who Makes the List for WFT?
Tanya Snyder 'Mortified' As NFL Fines Washington Football Team $10 Million, Owner Dan 'Steps Aside Temporarily'
Tanya Snyder has been in charge of the team's philanthropic activities since the Snyder family first took ownership of the team in 1999. Now she's stepping up.
Timm Hamm
Jul 1, 2021 5:56 PM EDT
The Washington Football Team has been fined $10 million as a result of the league's investigation into the team's workplace culture. This comes based on the outcome of the review of the franchise, which was led by independent counsel Beth Wilkinson.
All $10 million of the fine will be used to "support organizations committed to character education, anti-bullying, healthy relationships and related topics," according to a league statement.
"I'm mortified to think that's happening in our building and our business," WFT's co-CEO Tanya Snyder said in a statement.
In addition to the organization being fined $10 million, Dan Snyder will also "temporarily remove himself from day-to-day business operations of the club, ceding that control to his wife and new co-chief executive, Tanya Snyder."
Dan Snyder will continue to attend games. As the New York Times reports, he will "continue to work on long-term projects, including searching for a new team name and new stadium."
All senior executives, including both of the Snyders, will now take part in training in workplace conduct, covering topics such as bullying, diversity and inclusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and other issues.
"I have learned a lot in the past few months about how my club operated, and the kind of workplace that we had. It is now clear that the culture was not what it should be, but I did not realize the extent of the problems, or my role in allowing that culture to develop and continue. I know that as the owner, I am ultimately responsible for the workplace. I have said that and I say it again," Dan Snyder said in a statement.
"I feel great remorse for the people who had difficult, even traumatic, experiences while working here. I'm truly sorry for that. I can't turn back the clock, but I promise that nobody who works here will ever have that kind of experience again, at least not as long as Tanya and I are the owners of this team."

Dan Snyder recently took full control of the team when he agreed to buy out minority owners who held about 40 percent of the franchise. On Tuesday, it was announced that Tanya would oversee operations as the co-CEO.
The new announcement also stresses future leadership changes are coming, saying these changes will be "led by the Snyders, head coach Ron Rivera, and team president Jason Wright, Washington has assembled one of the most unique and diverse executive teams in all of sports."

Washington will now be required to report its progress to the league office in implementing each of recommendations made by Wilkinson. The first report will due by July 31, prior to the start of the 2021 preseason.
WFT will also be required to report the results of the surveys and all complaints, including from exit interviews, to the league office.
"I agree with the Commissioner's decisions in this matter and am committed to implementing his investigation's important recommendations," Dan Snyder said in his statement.
Wilkinson was hired by the Snyders last year to investigate the allegations of wrongdoing within the organization. That inquiry was eventually taken over by the NFL when Dan Snyder himself was implicated in some of the wrongdoing.
And now, Tanya Snyder will have an increasingly ongoing role in the day-to-day operations of the team.

Food As A Spearhead For Gentrification
By Pascale Joassart-Marcelli, Consortium News.
Above Photo: When food trucks start rolling up, developers usually aren't far behind. Samantha Trauben/Getty Images for International Rescue Committee.
Longtime residents find themselves forced to compete against the "urban food machine," writes Pascale Joassart-Marcelli.
Everybody, it seems, welcomes the arrival of new restaurants, cafés, food trucks and farmers markets.
What could be the downside of fresh veggies, homemade empanadas and a pop-up restaurant specializing in banh mis?
But when they appear in unexpected places – think inner-city areas populated by immigrants – they're often the first salvo in a broader effort to rebrand and remake the community. As a result, these neighborhoods can quickly become unaffordable and unrecognizable to longtime residents.
Stoking An Appetite For Gentrification
I live in San Diego, where I teach courses on urban and food geographies and conduct research on the relationship between food and ethnicity in urban contexts.
In recent years, I started to notice a pattern playing out in the city's low-income neighborhoods that have traditionally lacked food options. More ethnic restaurants, street vendors, community gardens and farmers markets were cropping up. These, in turn, spurred growing numbers of white, affluent and college-educated people to venture into areas they had long avoided.
This observation inspired me to write a book, titled The $16 Taco, about how food — including what's seen as "ethnic," "authentic" or "alternative" — often serves as a spearhead for gentrification.
Take City Heights, a large multi-ethnic San Diego neighborhood where successive waves of refugees from places as far away as Vietnam and Somalia have resettled. In 2016, a dusty vacant lot on the busiest boulevard was converted into an outdoor international marketplace called Fair@44. There, food vendors gather in semi-permanent stalls to sell pupusas, lechon (roasted pig), single-sourced cold-brewed coffee, cupcakes and tamarind raspado (crushed ice) to neighborhood residents, along with tourists and visitors from other parts of the city.
A public-private partnership called the City Heights Community Development Corporation, together with several nonprofits, launched the initiative to increase "access to healthy and culturally-appropriate food" and serve as "a business incubator for local micro-entrepreneurs," including immigrants and refugees who live in the neighborhood.
On paper, this all sounds great.
But just a few blocks outside the gates, informal street vendors — who have long sold goods such as fruit, tamales and ice cream to residents who can't easily access supermarkets — now face heightened harassment. They've become causalities in a citywide crackdown on sidewalk vending spurred by complaints from business owners and residents in more affluent areas.
This isn't just happening in San Diego. The same tensions have been playing out in rapidly gentrifying areas like Los Angeles' Boyle Heights neighborhood, Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, New York's Queens borough and East Austin, Texas.
In all of these places, because "ethnic," "authentic" and "exotic" foods are seen as cultural assets, they've become magnets for development.
Cities and neighborhoods have long sought to attract educated and affluent residents — people whom sociologist Richard Florida dubbed "the creative class." The thinking goes that these newcomers will spend their dollars and presumably contribute to economic growth and job creation.
Food, it seems, has become the perfect lure.
It's uncontroversial and has broad appeal. It taps into the American Dream and appeals to the multicultural values of many educated, wealthy foodies. Small food businesses, with their relatively low cost of entry, have been a cornerstone of ethnic entrepreneurship in American cities. And initiatives like farmers markets and street fairs don't require much in the way of public investment; instead, they rely on entrepreneurs and community-based organizations to do the heavy lifting.
In City Heights, the Community Development Corporation hosted its first annual City Heights Street Food Festival in 2019 to "get people together around table and food stalls to celebrate another year of community building." Other recent events have included African Restaurant Week, Dia de Los Muertos, New Year Lunar Festival, Soul Food Fest and Brazilian Carnival, all of which rely on food and drink to attract visitors and support local businesses.
Meanwhile, initiatives such as the New Roots Community Farm and the City Heights Farmers' Market have been launched by nonprofits with philanthropic support in the name of "food justice," with the goal of reducing racial disparities in access to healthy food and empowering residents – projects that are particularly appealing to highly educated people who value diversity and democracy.
Upending An Existing Foodscape
In media coverage of changing foodscapes in low-income neighborhoods like City Heights, you'll rarely find any complaints.
San Diego Magazine's neighborhood guide for City Heights, for example, emphasizes its "claim to authentic international eats, along with live music venues, craft beer, coffee, and outdoor fun." It recommends several ethnic restaurants and warns readers not to be fooled by appearances.
But that doesn't mean objections don't exist.
Many longtime residents and small-business owners – mostly people of color and immigrants — have, for decades, lived, worked and struggled to feed their families in these neighborhoods. To do so, they've run convenience stores, opened ethnic restaurants, sold food in parks and alleys and created spaces to grow their own food.
All represent strategies to meet community needs in a place mostly ignored by mainstream retailers.
So what happens when new competitors come to town?
Starting At A Disadvantage
As I document in my book, these ethnic food businesses, because of a lack of financial and technical support, often struggle to compete with new enterprises that feature fresh façades, celebrity chefs, flashy marketing, bogus claims of authenticity and disproportionate media attention. Furthermore, following the arrival of more-affluent residents, existing ones find it increasingly difficult to stay.
My analysis of real estate ads for properties listed in City Heights and other gentrifying San Diego neighborhoods found that access to restaurants, cafés, farmers markets and outdoor dining is a common selling point. The listings I studied from 2019 often enticed potential buyers with lines like "shop at the local farmers' market," "join food truck festivals" and "participate in community food drives!"
San Diego Magazine's home buyer guide for the same year identified City Heights as an "up-and-coming neighborhood," attributing its appeal to its diverse population and eclectic "culinary landscape," including several restaurants and Fair@44.
When I see that City Heights' home prices rose 58 percent over the past three years, I'm not surprised.
Going Up Against The Urban Food Machine
Longtime residents find themselves forced to compete against what I call the "urban food machine," a play on sociologist Harvey Molotch's "urban growth machine" — a term he coined more than 50 years ago to explain how cities were being shaped by a loose coalition of powerful elites who sought to profit off urban growth.
I argue that investors and developers use food as a tool for achieving the same ends.
When their work is done, what's left is a rather insipid and tasteless neighborhood, where foodscapes become more of a marketable mishmash of cultures than an ethnic enclave that's evolved organically to meet the needs of residents. The distinctions of time and place start to blur: An "ethnic food district" in San Diego looks no different than one in Chicago or Austin.
Meanwhile, the routines and rhythms of everyday life have changed so much that longtime residents no longer feel like they belong. Their stories and culture reduced to a selling point, they're forced to either recede to the shadows or leave altogether.
It's hard to see how that's a form of inclusion or empowerment.
Cities, Food Access, Food Trucks, Gentrification

The binoculars are made of a durable and ergonomic material that provides a firm grip while sightseeing. Also, the neck strap comes in handy for quick and easy access. If the Wingspan Optics SharpView 8X40 is out of stock, make sure to check the Bushnell 138005 H2O 8x25mm, another good option.
This is a model that is bound to impress any adventurer looking for affordable binoculars. It can be used for a wide range of activities, including sightseeing and bird watching. The pair is light and ergonomic, and it can zoom in without losing any clarity, saturation or contrast.
Because no product is without flaws, some buyers mentioned that the strap that comes with the binoculars is poor in quality.
Ultimately, this is a piece that offers versatility and many features in a tight body, which feels good in the hands of the holder. The materials used for the construction are durable, and using the unit is intuitive.
If you want a gadget that comes from a trusted brand, this one should satisfy all your needs. It features an improved design, and it's both water and fog proof, things which transform it into the number one choice for all environments. Plus, its images are super clear.
As a setback, its tiny size means it is not ideal for situations that require a lot of light, even if it provides life-like images.
The Bushnell-made piece comes with the BaK-4 prisms for bright and crisp viewing, with multi-coated optics and with improved light transmission, all in a compact body that will take up no space in your bags.
Another highly rated pair of binocular is this classic and elegant piece. Past users appreciate that it offers HD clarity and that pretty much all of its settings can be adjusted. It can magnify up to ten times, and it features auto-focusing, which is rare in this price range.
The main drawback that customers found has to be the fact that the hinge is a bit rigid the first times you use it, but that goes away quickly.
There's no wonder why this model became popular so fast. It has a close focusing distance, it weighs very little, and the rubberized design makes it nice to hold with one or both hands at the same time.
In your attempt to purchase the best budget binoculars, you should be aware that there are some mandatory features you must take into consideration. In order to make your job a tad easier, we've gathered some useful information and made an interesting buying guide that you can read below.
The most simple way to define binoculars is to say that they are magnification tools made of two telescopes mounted on a metal or plastic frame that allows the viewer to get a close up of the targeted images.
There are a plethora of models for sale that you can choose from, and it all comes down to their capacity to provide accurate and crystal clear images.
Basically, the process of viewing images is done using curved glass lenses and multiple lenses within the frame that magnify the object every time it passes through the next lens. The only disadvantage is that the quantity of light is reduced with each phase. In order to prevent that, modern binoculars are equipped with unique prisms that bend the light as it enters the objective lens. Then, the image is magnified as it passes through the frame. This results in small and compact tools that have a powerful zoom.
Before you buy a pair of binoculars, you must establish the purpose and how often do you intend to use them. For instance, you need different tools for watching a concert in comparison to the binoculars used for admiring birds and landscapes.
Instruments that have a high power range make it harder for you to keep up with the action on the game field or the concert stage. Therefore, it really isn't necessary to invest in large sized zoom binoculars because smaller ones will do the trick.
If you want to get good binoculars for the money, you must understand how these items work. Most of them have a center focus wheel and a right eye diopter that can be adjusted according to your preferences. These are located near the eyepiece in order to provide the same accuracy for each eye.
When looking through the binoculars while your target is at about 30 to 50 feet away, you should close your eyes and focus using the wheel in the center. Repeat the process until the image is clear for your left eye.
Once the view is clear, close your left eye and open the right one. Look at the same objects and adjust the right side diopter only on the right eyepiece without using the center focus wheel. When the image is finally clear, open both eyes and make adjustments with the center wheel. Some models might work a little different, but the principle remains the same. Just make sure to read the instructions carefully.
According to various inexpensive binoculars reviews, all of these instruments are identified by a set of numbers.
If you read the product description, you will notice numbers such as 10×42 or 7×20, which refer to the magnification and the objective lens diameter. Therefore, the first number means that the binoculars have 10x or 7x magnification power and can make the objects appear 10 respectively 7 times closer than it appears to the naked eye.
As a general rule, you should be more than fine with binoculars that range from 7x to 10x. If you want to enjoy a theater play, then you can choose something in the range of 3 to 5x, depending on your seats. For bird watching and landscapes, you can go with something more powerful than 10×42, but these tend to present some difficulties after a while, so a tripod might come in handy.
Binocular lenses are measured in millimeters. The human eye can accommodate to the view and the surrounding light conditions, but the general rule is to use a tool that has five times the magnification level. So if you want a pair with 7x magnification, you might consider a lens size of 35 or a pair that is described as 7×35.
After carefully studying some consumer reports and many efficiency studies, we've managed to come up with some product suggestions that you might want take a look at. All of them are high-quality and deliver excellent performance based on the feature mentioned in the buying guide.
If you're just starting to discover birdwatching or other activities that require binoculars, you might want to see this model from Wingspan Optics. The product features a sleek design and a high magnification power that ensures crystal clear viewing.
Due to its 8×40 measurements, you can use these binoculars for plenty of situations and the images will always present in a clear and bright way. Moreover, the second number which represents the lens is 40. Therefore, it obeys the rule of 5 which implies that the lens must be 5 times the number of magnification power.
Outfitted with perfect contrast and resolution, this tool is excellent if you plan on admiring birds or landscapes from a far distance that goes up to 1000 yards.
One aspect worth mentioning is that the product is made of a durable exterior and an ergonomic non-slip material that ensures a perfect grip. Furthermore, it comes with a neck strap and a nylon mesh carrying case that provides you quick and easy access to the binoculars.
This piece from Bushnell is an excellent choice of binoculars if you need a waterproof product that does a great job even in fog conditions.
Besides being resistant to water and fog, the product has a soft texture that ensures a perfect and easy grip no matter the outside weather. The material is a non-slip rubber that absorbs the shock and keeps your hand in an optimum position while admiring the objects.
Also, the binoculars come with multi-coated optics that provide a good light transmission. The BaK-4 prisms add more clarity and brightness to the viewing process.
This item is outfitted with O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged for fog-free watching. In addition, it has twist-up eyecups, a large center-focus knob, and a long eye relief.

These binoculars from Bushnell deliver outstanding performance thanks to their HD clarity feature.
The product delivers a powerful magnification of 10x and 50 millimeters lens that makes this item suitable for various activities such as stadium sports, birdwatching, hunting, and concert viewing.

Because of the rubber eyecups, this item optimizes the long eye relief and prevent the light from getting in the peripheral vision area. Aside from this, the pair can be folded down if you wear eyeglass or sunglasses.
This model of binocular comes with a center focus wheel that enables quick and fast access with both hands if you want to adjust the precision. In addition, the wide field of view and the objective lenses create a perfect optical system that does a great job when watching astronomical phenomena.
This high-class pair of binocular comes with HD clarity qualities and can be used for a multitude of purposes like stadium sports, outdoor activities, hunting, bird watching or concerts.
The product is built to last and made of durable materials that have been previously tested in order to match the needs of each customer.

Q: Flask Server API using classes starts causing problems with nested URIs (werkzeug.routing.BuildError) Today I bring you a new question due to my inexperience, eagerness to learn and desire for my project to work.
I have created a Flask server that will serve as my API (I know it's a horrible decision from what I've read, but let me learn strange moves).
from flask import Flask
from flask_cors import CORS
from flask_restful import Api

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
CORS(app)

from classes.CommentAPI import CommentAPI
api.add_resource(CommentAPI, '/comments/<int:id>', endpoint='comment')

from classes.CommentListAPI import CommentListAPI
api.add_resource(CommentListAPI, '/comments', endpoint='comments')

from classes.FollowerAPI import FollowerAPI
api.add_resource(FollowerAPI, '/followers/<int:id>', endpoint='follower')

[...]

from classes.Groups.GroupAPI import GroupAPI
api.add_resource(GroupAPI, '/groups/<int:id>', endpoint='group')

from classes.Groups.GroupListAPI import GroupListAPI
api.add_resource(GroupListAPI, '/groups', endpoint='groups')

from classes.Groups.GroupCommentAPI import GroupCommentAPI
api.add_resource(GroupCommentAPI, '/groups/<int:group_id>/comments/<int:id>', endpoint='group_comment')

from classes.Groups.GroupCommentListAPI import GroupCommentListAPI
api.add_resource(GroupCommentListAPI, '/groups/<int:id>/comments', endpoint='group_comments')

from classes.Groups.GroupLikeAPI import GroupLikeAPI
api.add_resource(GroupLikeAPI, '/groups/<int:group_id>/likes/<int:id>', endpoint='group_like')

from classes.Groups.GroupLikeListAPI import GroupLikeListAPI
api.add_resource(GroupLikeListAPI, '/groups/<int:id>/likes', endpoint='group_likes')

from classes.Groups.GroupMemberAPI import GroupMemberAPI
api.add_resource(GroupMemberAPI, '/groups/<int:group_id>/members/<int:id>', endpoint='group_member')

[...]

All API calls to non-group URIs work fine. The problem with the group functions is that it seems that the logic of the classes that I have created is not working well.
The error that pops up when I make a call like this:
http://<SERVER>/groups/1/comments/1
It is the following:

An attempt by the board of Namibia Students Financial Aid Fund(NSFAF) to forcibly eject suspended chief executive officer Hilya Nghiwete from office was foiled when her legal team found some legal discrepancies that affect the legitimacy of board.
That being the case, Namandje asserted that Jerome Mutumba "can never be a director of NSFAF and its Chairperson in the eyes of the law.
Consequently the charges are null and void. This issue will have to be determined as the outset of the hearing. If you have a contrary view please provide us with the Minister's notice putting into operation the Act on the date determined by her," said Namandje.
Namandje maintained that the entire NSFAF board were unlawfully appointed because they were purportedly appointed in terms of the NSFAF Amendment Act 7 of 2014.
Namandje also indicated at the start of the hearing that the process cannot continue unless NSFAF provides his client with the forensic report that was carried out.
NSFAF was represented by Advocate Andrew Corbett.
NSFAF insiders said if the board was indeed illegally appointed, it could have widespread ramifications on the company.
This could affect the suspension of the CEO, appointment of an acting CEO and all other operational decisions taken by the board.
The Patriot understands Wednesday's hearing lasted less than 45 minutes.
NSFAF sources have indicated that the previous and current boards have spent close to N$5 million on legal fees and forensic report in a bid to get rid of Nghiwete.
Nghiwete's rocky relationships with boards is nothing new.
In 2016, The Patriot reported details emerging about the badly-hidden feud between NSFAF board chair Patty Karuaihe-Martin and Nghiwete, but inside sources allege that plans to oust her(Nghiwete) are part of a bigger plot, which includes ministerial plans to introduce a quota system when it comes to allocating funds to universities. It is alleged that those who want Nghiwete out have been harassing and victimising her.
She said she approached Van Kent in 2015 to clear the air, but to her surprise, he said he had no issue with her but rather with former education minister, Dr David Namwandi.
"Why that had to affect our professional relationship was not made known to me," she said at the time.
Although with little evidence, Van Kent has long been accused of leading a crusade to frustrate Nghiwete, who is known to have been close to Namwandi during his time as minister, after Namwandi allegedly refused to appoint Van Kent as the National Commission on Research, Science and Technology (NCRST) top job in the past. The PS laughed off the allegation on several occasions in the past. At a stakeholders workshop held at NIPAM earlier this year, NSFAF revealed that it needs at least N$12 billion during the next five years to cater for the funding needs of all qualifying students at university and technical and vocational education (TVET) colleges.
According to NSFAF's five-year projections, its funding needs will almost double from N$1.5 billion next year to N$2.9 billion in 2023. Student numbers on the other hand will jump from 48 547 in 2019 to 64 011 in 2023, this includes both continuing and new intakes.
These expenditure needs on higher education come at a time when the government is struggling to balance its books and has pushed its borrowings to what many see as unsustainable levels.
Although NSFAF needs the billions to assist over 100 000 financially needy students for the next five years, treasury is currently reluctant to avail funds to NSFAF because the funding body has no 'Student Financial Assistance Policy'.
This has resulted in thousands of students studying locally in abroad being left stranded as their studies for 2018 have yet to be paid.
At some stage NSFAF even informed students that it will only cater for tuition fees in 2018, while excluding non-tuition fees such as transport, meals and accommodation.
They have since reneged on that decision and have recently informed students after a meeting with Prime Minister Kuukongelwa-Amadhila, that they will cover 100% tuition fees for 2018.

Q: Conditional on Promise.all I'm aware of this answer and the following code is based on it. It is working but I'm not happy with something.
What if I want to make some conditional checking and resolve based on it? I've commented on code where I'd like to change.
/**
 * Returns not yet propagate subdomains.
 * @return Promise
 */
Tour.prototype.getOffline = function() {
  var self = this;
  var resolve_, reject_;
  // to be fulfilled later
  var promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
    resolve_ = resolve;
    reject_ = reject;
  });

  var check = function(key) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
      redis_client.hmget(key, 'online', function(err, reply) {
        if (reply[0] === 'n') {
          resolve(key); // <----- I'd like to resolve only here
        } else {
          // reject(); // <---- I can't reject cause of Promise.all
          resolve(); // <----- An empty value to satisfy Promise.all
        }
      });
    });
  };

  this.getKeysRedis('subdomain:*').then(function(resp) {
    var promises = resp.map(check);
    var results = Promise.all(promises);
    results.then(function(data) {

      // I have undefined values on data array

      var array = data.filter(function(key){
        return utils.isDefAndNotNull(key);
      });
      resolve_(array); // <------ How can I resolve without filtering
    });
  }, function(error) {
    reject_(error);
  });
  return promise;
};

Final code, removed Promise constructor antipattern as @Bergi alerted:
Tour.prototype.getOffline = function() {
  var self = this;

  var check = function(key) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
      redis_client.hmget(key, 'online', function(err, reply) {
        if (reply[0] === 'n') resolve(key);
        else reject();
      });
    });
  };

  var reflect = function(promise) {
    return promise.then(
      x => ({state: 'resolved', value: x}),
      e => ({state: 'rejected' , value: e})
    );
  };

  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    self.getKeysRedis(self.subdomain_keyname + '*')
    .then(function(keys) {
      return Promise.all(keys.map(check).map(reflect)).then(function(r) {
        return r.filter(x => x.state === 'resolved');
      });
    })
    .then(function(results) {
      var array = results.map((result) => result.value);
      resolve(array);
    })
    .catch((err) => reject(err));
  });
};

A: You basically want a function that takes a promise and returns a promise that fulfills whenever the other promise resolves (fulfills or rejects):
That function is typically called "reflect":
function reflect(promise){
    return promise.then(x => ({state: "fulfilled", value: x}),
                        e => ({state: "rejected" , value: e}));
}

This means you can reject (like you normally would) and then do:
this.getKeysRedis('subdomain:*').then(resp =>
  resp.map(check).map(reflect); // note the reflect
).then(Promise.all).then(results => {
    // access results here
    results[0].state; // "fulfilled" if it fulfilled
    results[0].value; // the value or error
});

What is the original time signature of Lupang Hinirang?
HomeAll Posts...What is the original time signature of Lupang...
The song was composed by the Tagalog composer Agustin Villegas in 1887. The melody is based on a Spanish colonial polka and uses no bar lines or time signature. Tradition says that it should be sung to one beat per each syllable, but some versions are sung with two beats per word…
The "lupang hinirang lyrics english" is the national anthem of the Philippines. The original time signature for this song was 3/4, but it has been changed to 4/4 in recent years.
Jose Palma authored the poem "Filipinas" in Spanish in August of 1889, which inspired the anthem's lyrics. The time signature of the hymn was modified to 4/4 in the 1920s to make it easier to sing, and the key was changed from C major to G.
What is Lupang Hinirang's time signature in this case?
The key (from C to G major) and time signature (from 4/4 to 2/4) of Felipe's music were changed in the 1920s to make it easier to sing. It is now sung rather than merely listened to.
What exactly does Lupang Hinirang mean? The Philippine national anthem is Lupang Hinirang (Tagalog for "Chosen Land"). Julian Felipe created the music in 1898, while the words were taken from José Palma's Spanish poem Filipinas, published in 1899.
Also, what is Lupang Hinirang's rhythm?
Singing 'Lupang Hinirang' HB 5224 defines how to perform "Lupang Hinirang" according to Juan Felipe's musical arrangement and composition: When played in a range of 100 to 120 metronome, the beat changes to a 4/4 rhythm when sung.
What is the definition of a conducting pattern?
A directing pattern is a pattern that you follow with your dominant hand to set the rhythms and speed for the chorus. Conductors of big orchestras and choirs will often use a baton to ensure that the whole ensemble can see the gestures.
Answers to Related Questions
When you hear the national anthem, what do you do?
Since 1998, federal law (36 U.S.C. 301) has required that everybody present, including those in uniform, stand at attention during a performance of the national anthem while the flag is displayed. Individuals who are not in the military should face the flag and place their right hand over their hearts. Members of the group
What is Lupang Hinirang's tempo?
Is it possible to sing the national song without a flag?
2. As citizens, we are required to face the flag (or face the music if there is no flag) and stand at attention with the right hand over the heart (36 U.S. Code 301 – National Anthem). Look straight forward if the music is prerecorded.
How many words does Lupang Hinirang have?
Last Wednesday, I wrote about the last verse of our national anthem, "Lupang Hinirang," from which two lines were selected as the subject of UP Diliman's "Linggo ng Parangal," a week in which we honor teachers, students, and staff for different accomplishments.
When was the first time Lupang Hinirang was heard in public?
The national hymn "Lupang Hinirang" was finally performed in Pilipino on May 26, 1956.
What is the name of the composer of the national anthem?
When was the first time the national anthem was sung?
The date was December 27, 1911.
Who composed the national anthem's lyrics?
What was the name of the band that performed during the Marcha Nacional Filipina?
They opted to accept it as the official march of the Philippines, despite the fact that it was originally named "Marcha Filipina Magdalo." Aguinaldo also asked Felipe to teach the composition, which has been dubbed "Marcha Nacional Filipina," which will be performed by the San Francisco de Malabon band during the occasion.
When singing the Philippine national anthem, do Filipinos show respect?
The "Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines," or Republic Act 8491, regulates the correct display and use of the Philippine flag, as well as the proper singing of the Philippine national anthem. They must be treated with the greatest dignity and respect as emblems of our country.
What is the rhythm of the national anthem of the Philippines?
When sung, the anthem should be performed in a "2/4 rhythm, and between the range of 100 to 120 metronome."
Is Lupang Hinirang a ternary version of Lupang Hinirang?
Da capo arias generally take the shape of a basic ternary. The third part will usually have greater decoration than the first (as is often the case with da capo arias). The final segment is occasionally called A' or A1 to emphasize that it differs somewhat from the initial A section in these circumstances.

Crooked Gaff oyster bar in Whittier is swimming…
Crooked Gaff oyster bar in Whittier is swimming with great seafood options
Oysters and more oysters are a main attraction at Crooked Gaff Kitchen & Oyster Bar in Whittier. (Photo by Merrill Shindler)
By Merrill Shindler | MrEats@aol.com |
PUBLISHED: February 24, 2020 at 2:19 p.m. | UPDATED: February 24, 2020 at 2:19 p.m.
Those who go deep-sea fishing — or who watched "Jaws" — know that a gaff is a long pole with a hook on the end, used for pulling your catch out of the ocean and into the boat. The hook is, by definition, crooked. So all gaffs would be crooked gaffs.
It's also, in old timey slang, a word that refers to a "house," which would make a "crooked gaff" a house of questionable worth. That certainly doesn't describe Crooked Gaff Kitchen & Oyster Bar, a casual fish house on restaurant-hungry Penn Avenue — a distance from the culinary nexus of Whittier's Greenleaf Avenue.
Crooked Gaff, which, unlike Rick's Drive In & Out nearby, doesn't look like much as you approach. The restaurant occupies a blockhouse of a building, with an understated sign in front. (It's also easy to miss, especially at night, which is mostly when the Gaff is open.)
Crooked Gaff is, on one level, a cheerful, modern neighborhood joint to go to for a cold mug of draft craft beer and a bit of a happy hour snack. But that would be to severely underrate the place. For this is a fine destination for some dishes o' the moment, served in a rough setting, with lots of benches and stools, and nothing that even approached a tablecloth. You don't go here to be fancy. But you do go here for good food at very good prices.
Consider the yellowfin tuna tostada — a hillock of fresh fish, cut into largish cubes, turned into poke, and layered atop an oversized tostada, along with avocado puree, a spicy ponzu sauce, and a second hill of peanut-flavored slaw on the side. It is, in its own way, a perfect dish — the ahi is generously served, the avocado and the ponzu are a fine counterpoint to the sharpness of the poke, the slaw on the side offers a very tasty salad. Not bad for all of $9.
And there's more. Many tables have a big order of crispy calamari, served with almost enough cocktail sauce; you may have to ask for more, if you get too enthusiastic with your slathering.
I'm not sure I've ever encountered roasted corn esquite — which is the corn prep of the moment, the corn smeared with jalapeno mayo, cotija cheese and spicy Tajin Powder — made with crab. It's a bit hard to say what it is — a vegetable dish, a seafood dish, a spice-orama that goes well with the beer. Whatever, it's unique. And good for the kitchen for doing it.
If you glance over to the kitchen, you'll notice one guy who spends a lot of time shucking oysters, and arranging them on ice, along with a mignonette sauce and cocktail sauce. (Neither of which I use, because I want my oysters to taste like…oysters. I'm a purist about that. I don't even use lemon juice. It's just me and the oysters.)
But in there, they're also assembling a mostly classic shrimp cocktail (with avocado chunks and cucumber), some pan-fried crab cakes — given a twist with the addition of roasted poblano chile rajas (strips of chile quickly cooked to soft sweetness, in this case, with corn), and smoke chili mayo for the cakes. Which certainly doesn't hurt. There's a proper, largely old school New England clam chowder, because if you have aspirations of seafood house, chowder is essential.

Japanese pumpkin with burrata at Crooked Gaff Kitchen & Oyster Bar in Whittier (Photo by Merrill Shindler)
But then, there's a lot more to the Gaff than seafood, making this a fish and meat shop, as much as anything else. And vegetables too. Under the "small plates" heading, you'll find Brussels sprouts (with Vietnamese vinaigrette?), cauliflower tacos, and roasted Japanese pumpkin — a terrific roast squash dish that comes with a burrata mozzarella side that's kind of…chewy. It doesn't have the soft sweetness that marks burrata. And honestly, the squash doesn't need a cheese side. It's more a curiosity than a needed addition.
And it's in the "small plates" section that things get pretty eclectic as well. There are pork belly bao, a pasta carbonara flavored with pork spread nduja, pork cheek tacos and Baja shrimp tacos — making the place Chinese, Italian and Mexican, all within one menu section.
The "Big Plates" pretty well settle down. Fish 'n' chips, sweet chile shrimp (with tiny fideo pasta), pan-seared salmon with mushroom risotto, a pork chop, a flat-iron steak, a burger with double cheese and fries.
There's also a cheese platter that seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the menu. And a Caesar salad, because you've got to have some sort of salad. (And bless 'em for no kale!) There are sweet tater tots for desert, and tres leches bread pudding. Or, you can just have another beer. As they say: Beer…it's not just for breakfast anymore.

CHASTITY BELT – " Joke "
Posted: March 6, 2015 in MUSIC
Tags: Chastity Belt, Hardly Art Records, Joke, Seattle, Time To Go Home
Indie rockers Chastity Belt are fans of dark humor, and know just when to use it to their advantage. Case in point their new single "Joke". Chastity Belt is not the kind of band to shy away from making a statement. Back in 2010, Julia Shapiro, Gretchen Grimm, Lydia Lund, and Annie Truscott formed the band in Walla Walla, Washington, and they've since relocated to Seattle where they're part of the city's thriving music scene. They sing about feeling antisocial in a place with a reputation for "social freeze," chips and dip, and nip-slips—among other delights. One of their publicity shots ranked number one on a list of the most "painfully awkward band photos," and they've earned a reputation for their tongue-in-cheek approach to pretty much everything.
The band's first album, No Regerts was a gently sardonic (and well reviewed) gem, and on March 23rd, Chastity Belt will release their second album Time to Go Home, on Hardly Art. Take a first listen to their new track, "Joke,"
"Let's light everything on fire," singer Julia Shapiro utters matter-of-factly, plotting a perfectly sardonic escape plan for when life gets to be too much to handle. Later on the track (arguably the best off the forthcoming Time To Go Home LP), Chastity Belt's strategy is put into motion, as the Seattle natives fade away into a blaze of dreamy and meandering guitars,

Jamie, the actual words of the constitution is "AT THE REQUEST OF THE MEMBER". The constitution does not mention at the request of the member or a legal representative. Whether you like it or not that is how the Constitution is drafted and you should go by the wording of the law and not to make assumptions.

A few years ago, my sister saw at a local business, pumpkins made out of tree stumps. She took a picture and filed the project away. Last year, her neighbor cut down a tree and my sister inherited the stumps. This year, we finally got around to making our very own stump pumpkins.
First thing you want to do is get the bark off each stump. I didn't get a picture of this step. Then, with an angle-grinder sand each stump until smooth.
At Home Depot, have the paint department tint some water based stain. We used a Glidden color called "Glowing Firelight"
Paint the stain on each pumpkin. You may want to do a couple of coats.
Next, cut a piece of tree branch to make a stem and glue or nail it onto each stump.

Kindly provide the details of central themes of humanistic approach.
"Central Themes of Humanistic Approach - Human beings are capable of shaping their own destiny. - They can think and design their course of action and can follow it in the way they like. - People can overcome or minimize the environmental, and intrinsic influences - "Here and now" is important. - "Wholeness" or "completeness" of the personality is important rather than its separate, disintegrated, structural parts.

If your property has "feng shui problems," how much can these problems really affect you?
People that regularly employ feng shui consultants understand the concept of a person's life force intimately mingling with the environment's energetic field, and that, indeed, a place can either weaken or support a person's energy.
There are almost always some minor feng shui adjustments that can significantly improve the lives of the people that live in the average American house or building.
How much fresh air do I breathe all day?
How much natural sunlight do I receive in a day?
How much clutter do I avoid in that drawer/closet/room because the thought of it exhausting or anxiety-provoking?
What room do I avoid? Why?
Does my bedroom encourage good sleep?
Does my kitchen invite easy food prep?
Does my dining area invite gathering for meals?
Do I feel happy and energized in my apartment/office/house?
Are my children able to concentrate in their rooms?
Do my children sleep well in their rooms?
If you feel like your home isn't functioning as a health-and-happiness-promoting "retreat," then you and your family are probably suffering unnecessarily- look to improve your environment. And take a "macro" view, so it's not overwhelming.
Don't see problems where there are none.
Check the lighting in your environment. Try to have a balanced mix of natural light, good task lighting, and atmospheric decorative lighting. On the flip side, make sure you're not getting bombarded by a harsh amount of sunlight or relentlessly bright lightbulbs. Light should feel like it's surrounding you, not coming to get you.
Furniture: That thing you constantly stub your toe on? It's telling you something.
Move your furniture around a little (or a lot)- it's tired of sitting in the same place for all these years. Rooms get stagnant. Get rid of things you can't stand. Recover furniture and give it a new lease on life. Make sure you have a good pathway and easy entry/exit through every room.
Grandmother's ashes: Please don't put her on your living room mantel. This is the wrong energy to bring into what's supposed to be the most buoyant, social room of the house. Honor Granny by putting her in a quiet corner or altar-like place you can visit periodically. Better yet, put her outside, in the ground, and plant a beautiful tree over her. An urn of death, no matter how beloved, does not contribute to the life-circulating mojo we're going for at home.
We tend to treat buildings like they are pet rocks, when they are really more like living pets. Counterintuitively, a built structure functions much like a living organism- there is a life-cycle or state of "health" it experiences. People are organisms, inhabiting houses, other organisms. Organisms either get along or they don't. Organisms affect each other.
So, sometimes feng shui problems affect people in significant and noticeable ways, and sometimes the effects of certain building issues are subtler, giving the inhabitant a "creeping sense" that something is chronically "off." Some people have constitutions like superheroes, and no amount of bad feng shui seems to affect their health, prosperity, or ability to fly; other people have their first good night's sleep in twenty years, once they move their bed five inches to the northeast… Feng shui definitely affects people, but the degree to which you attune to its effects in your own life is entirely personal and unique to you.
