This partnership with Intelsat (operator of the world's first Globalized Network) would easure that Vodacom Business Nigeria utilizes the satellite services provided on Intelsat 35e (the fifth of the Intelsat EpicNG satellites) to ensure a swift, and high-quality broadband connectivity to several sectors (banking, oil and gas, education, healthcare) across West Africa.
What Would this Partnership Mean for Vodacom?
Very exciting to announce this contract with Vodacom Business Nigeria. This will support new type of enterprise services in Nigeria and West Africa. Great partnership starts with great partner.#westafrica https://t.co/pHAljMMhGg https://t.co/WA8nidIWws

With this partnership, Vodacom Business Nigeria would be able to provide its existing customers with an improved quality of service once the service is deployed as well as gain the traction of intending customers. Since the Intelsat EpicNG enables higher data rate applications and smaller terminals, Vodacom Business Nigeria would also be able to expand its offerings in the enterprise and Internet of Things sectors.
This will in turn position the telco for bigger operational and business success and also help to the broadband connectivity in Nigeria.
Speaking on the partnership, Lanre Kolade, Managing Director of Vodacom Business Nigeria said that the integrating Intelsat's satellite services into its network would allow it to rapidly deploy its broadband network into new areas across West Africa and deliver fast, affordable internet access.
This means that people in the communities that we serve will gain access to services that will provide real benefits such as: business connectivity, news updates, improved quality of services in healthcare, banking and education, in addition to promoting economic development of these communities.

Pregnancy does not end happily for everyone. Sadly, some parents receive grim news that something has gone horribly wrong with their pregnancy, an event that in most cases was planned and much wanted. As a result, they are faced with making a difficult decision about whether to continue with the pregnancy. We realize that all parents make a loving choice, one they feel is best for their family; however, regardless of the anomaly found, making that choice can be one of the most difficult ordeals anyone can face.
When facing a diagnosis of a severe or fatal birth defect, or you have to consider your own health or the life of another child (such as in the case of selective reduction) it is the hardest decision of your life. All you ever want for your child is the best, most loving environment possible, to offer protection from suffering and pain. How can we offer protection when that child is still in the womb?
Making the "Heartbreaking Choice" to terminate a pregnancy is never easy. It is fraught with difficult questions, with love, and a fervent desire to prevent suffering. At this crossroad, terminating a pregnancy is sometimes the kindest path we can take. We make these choices out of love and compassion.
Please read through our Articles, our personal stories and feel free to submit your own story or an article on making "A Heartbreaking Choice." Please click hereto submit your story. We want to hear from you!
Please note: Many factors go into the decision of which stories are posted. Not all stories submitted will ultimately make it to the web page. This decision remains at the discretion of the Administration.


According to a post on the firm's site, direct sales of XRP totaled $16.6 million – a decline of 17% compared to the previous quarter. Programmatic sales of the cryptocurrency more than doubled, on the other hand, rising from $71.5 million to $151.1 million.
XRP's clout relative to the total cryptocurrency market grew in Q1, with its share of overall market volume growing from 5.3% at the end of 2017 to 6.9% at the end of March.
XRP's price took off in late 2017, rising from less than $0.25 at the beginning of December to a peak of $3.84 in early January. The token's subsequent fall was just as steep, and within a month, it was trading at just under a dollar. At the time of writing, 1 XRP is worth around $0.81.
Ripple's first-quarter report also addressed the negative influence that a global regulatory crackdown, combined with uncertainty about the future, has had on cryptocurrency prices. It did not specifically reference Ripple's own regulatory questions, however, including whether XRP is a security.

Nour Tabboh Crowned Winner of Arab Reading Challenge in Lebanon
Arab Reading Challenge (ARC) participants were honoured at a ceremony held under the patronage of the General Director of Education at the Ministry of Education and Higher Learning Minister His Excellency Fadi Yarak and His Excellency Hamad Saeed Sultan Al Shamsi, the UAE Ambassador to Lebanon, at the Unesco Palace.
The Lebanon ARC champion Nour Tabboh, who is in the 12th grade at Rawdat Al Fayhaa School in Tripoli, was honoured at the ceremony, along with the winner of the distinguished supervisor award Hanadi Hateit and Rawdat Al Fayhaa School, the winner of the best school award for the state.
ARC Secretary General Najla Al Shamsi said, "Lebanon has always been a cultural and scientific hub for the Arab region, and we are happy to see that tradition continue as Lebanese students across the country achieved high feats in the competition. The second round of the Arab Reading Challenge has been a reminder, once again, of how all Arabs can work together toward a future where we are armed with knowledge, as envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum."
All ten student finalists were also honoured at the ceremony, respectively; Maryam Yousif Al-Sayyid (11th grade at Imam Al-Kadhim Ali Al-Nahari Secondary School), Maryam Al-Ahdab (5th grade at Rawdat Al Fayhaa School), Yousif Ali Al-Kamouni (3rd grade at Al-Shifa School), Amjad Mohammed Al-Ghamian (10th grade at Jamil Al Rawas Secondary School for Boys), Nour Al-Termus (11th grade at Mehdi Shahid School), Fatima Khadr Al-Zain (12th grade at the Pheonix International School), Remi Rabie Mesbah Fakhoury (3rd grade at Ali Bin Abi Taleb School), Marwa Muqaddam (10th grade at Al-Iman Al-Islami Seconday School), and Eva Rabie Hamad (12th grade at Al-Safir School).
Over 13,925 students from various grades made it to the second phase of the Arab Reading Challenge. Ninety-three students made it to the final round before one was selected, along with nine supervisors and two schools.
The Arab Reading Challenge was launched by UAE Prime Minister and Vice President and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in September 2015. It represents the largest pan-Arab reading project, and aims to promote a sustainable model for reading through an integrated system of student-supervisor follow-ups and support, as well as monetary incentives for students, supervisors and schools across the Arab World. The project hopes to instigate a cultural renaissance in the Arab World by encouraging students to read and continuously expand their knowledge.

Q: The distribution of the linear combination of Gamma random variables If $X_i\sim\Gamma(\alpha_i,\beta_i)$ for $1\leq i\leq n$, let
$Y = \sum_{i=1}^n c_iX_i$ where $c_i$ are positive real numbers.
Assume all the parameters $\alpha_i$'s and $\beta_i$'s are all known, what is $Y$'s distribution ?

A: See Theorem 1 given in Moschopoulos (1985) for the distribution of a sum of independent gamma variables.  You can extend this result using the scaling property for linear combinations.

You shied away from real improvement opportunities by falling back into the old way of doing things. It's nice to upgrade parts of your system so they perform better, but if you don't redesign around the new capabilities you may not see any real benefits. Your new system will still be a pig, even if it's got a shiny new coat of lipstick.
You're fighting human nature again. The selection of a fancy new enterprise software package is a big deal. A lot of promises are made and due diligence is done around making sure the investment is worthy. Rarely is there the directive to "keep our processes exactly as they are." In fact, many times the introduction of a new system is identified as the perfect catalyst for implementing the many changes management desires.
Many times while gathering requirements you are asked to describe in uncomfortable detail "how the day to day processes" will look. In general, this is fine. Part of building a solid system is putting together one that's easy to maintain. The problem comes when the group gets caught up in the minutiae of supporting a system. Small issues get magnified and exceptions become the basis for system design. This is all very difficult to conceptualize on a white board, so it becomes a huge waste of time. The easiest path ends up being "the way we do it today" because it's understood and there will be fewer questions.
Other times you are given a design in lieu of requirements. Once again, this is not a problem in general. The problem comes if your software doesn't support that desired design or if you have a better solution that the clients resists. The tendency is to fold and go with what they already understand.
Most times the client subject matter experts have their methods and want to fit the new system to those methods whether they are good or not. Humans have an amazing ability to adapt to change, but they don't like it.
Process requirements can be generally put into two buckets: cyclical and maintenance.
Cyclical items are all the actions that have to take place in order to process compensation on a regular basis. This would include creating manual transactions or adjustments, putting reference data into the system such as people or rates, or potentially upstream actions such as pulling a report from SAP.
Maintenance items are all actions outside of the regular cycle. This would include plan updates, ad hoc reporting, issue resolution, etc.
As part of the requirements sessions you want to create as detailed as possible a future state model for all processes that fall under the cyclical category. These operations happen every pay cycle and there needs to be a clear understanding of what needs to happen and when. Sometimes this activity falls to the design phase of a project and that is fine, but they really are Design Requirements. A design requirement is a stipulation of how certain things happen in the system. For example, you may have a requirement that adjustment transactions are needed. A design requirement may be that adjustment transactions can only be created by an automated process. This obviously changes the scope of that requirement a great deal and should be captured as early as possible.
The exploration of these routine workflow items is vital to creating a clean running system. All ideas for improvement can be incorporated during this early stage and all designs can be built around the new processes. Since it's still early in the project, old processes can be analyzed and rethought without too much disruption. Many times a client will push back on a new process simply because they can't see how it's supposed to work. This is where it helps to have an experienced team that can help with visualizing the new processes and potentially doing pilot and/or proof of concepts. I like to give options with pros and cons identified and let the client decide. It helps with buy-in later.
Maintenance items should be listed, but not designed in detail just yet. Clients typically don't fully understand what these items will be, how complex they are, or how frequently they will happen. So you would be wasting a lot of time looking at them in detail. It's best to wait until as late as the UAT phase before starting to put together these processes. However, once you start don't hesitate to offer solutions that break the current mold. Most clients are open to new ideas if they make sense and are backed by clear explanations and a clever presentation.
The key is to expressly categorize design requests as they occur. "How will I enter that rate?" should get the answer "How often do the rates change?" If the answer is "once a year", then this gets put into the maintenance bucket and is addressed later. If the answer is "once a month", then this gets put in the cyclical bucket. We schedule a requirements meeting or we address it now and it gets its own Visio diagram.
I'd like to suggest a corollary: if you can spend too little time reworking business processes, you can certainly spend too much time doing so as well. I've seen projects bog down because an attempt is made to address every last issue with the current process as part of the initial delivery. Do what you can, but be mindful of your budget and timeline.
That's a great point. You definitely need to get a good understanding of how things work today before you can offer improvements. Out of that, there will certainly be elements of the old design that work very well and should be duplicated. That's a huge time saver and an easy win. There will also be elements that can be eliminated and/or ignored because they're not critical.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lupelib from This is Great. Your No.50 serum feels so wonderful. I have worn it long enough to get the true results. But I have no doubts it will do the trick!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cal62 from Amazing product for aging skin!! Love this primer!! I am 62 years old and it really does make my skin feel velvety soft, plus it truly helps my makeup last all day. It is pricey, so I only uae it for special occasions or when I need my makeup to look fresh from morning until night.
Rated 5 out of 5 by diketza from Love this serum! I have tried many facial products. Most are too thick and heavy or have a strong, unpleasant odor. No. 50 is lightweight, has a pleasant, light fragrance, and has a velvety softness on my skin.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bribri from Works great for me. This is my 2nd bottle of the veil primer I love it. It is thicker and "tackier" than other primers I have tried, but it covers your pores better and really helps foundation stay in place. Just make sure it completely dries befor applying any makeup.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KC1970 from Love this serum!! I am 66 and I love this serum! I live in Florida and in the summer I use this serum as my only moisturizer under my IT foundation. My make-up goes on flawlessly and stays put. In the winter when my skin tends to be drier, I use both a moisturizer and then this serum before putting on my make-up. What I truly love about this serum is that it gives my skin a dewy glow that people notice!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheeks from Great skincare I use this product as the last thing I use before bed. I use the other primer as primer. No. 50 leaves my skin soft and dewy.
Rated 3 out of 5 by bareese from I use to love it but... I have went through five bottles of this with the subscription. I use to love it! The scent use to be light with a nice touch of citrus but my last three bottles had an "old chemical" smell to it. It does absorb really well and I do enjoy how soft my skin is afterwards but it's not worth the price. To be honest I haven't notice a difference in my pores or wrinkles.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Diann26 from Diann26 Made my face soft but very oily throughout the day. Not a great primer for me.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary6 from Like this product very much. Makes my face feel ver soft.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andreahill23 from Skin feels amazing! I couldn't find a good primer. And not only does this moisturize my face but this works great as a primer. Makeup looks good all day long. And I swear it's making my skin feel so healthy. Love these products!

YouTuber Shelly the makeup geek, gave a raving review so I decided to give it a shot. I immediately saw a huge improvement. It is the only thing that has made me feel like I'm in my own skin again. Fantastic product!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grannymamma from Smooth I happy I decided to try this primer... it feels so nice and weightless while it gives the foundation a nice canvas as it is applied to my face!
Rated 5 out of 5 by amanda4251 from Excellent results I bought this after a friend recommended it. I can't believe the results. My makeup goes on so much smoother. I use less of my foundation than before. This has become a staple in my daily makeup routine.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Girlfriend from Skin so soft! I've been using this product a few weeks now and absolutely love it! Nice light citrus scent and light and velvety soft to touch, not to mention the veil effect! I will def continue using this!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aging princess from Primer Perfection I started using IT a little over a year ago. The compliments I receive are endless from the first time I wore it. Exact words the first time is what am I doing different.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cyndi2 from Best primer ever This is the first primer I have used that I continued to use. It is amazing and I love it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BSuplita from Another GREAT product I am in love with every IT Cosmetics product that I try and this doesn't disappoint either. I have already noticed a change in the smoothness of my skin and this helps to make my makeup go on even better and stay on all day. Love it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mamamartin from Perfect primer! The combination of this primer and the IT CC cream is perfect for my face. Even over comedones it creates a smooth-looking, non-crackly surface. And it smells fantastic.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amowens from Great Product I've been using this product for several years. It makes a great base for my foundation, plus it has anti-aging ingredients. Best primer I've ever used.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ginnie from No. 50 Serum...mesmerizing! I have been buying this serum for several years now. I also use it with the Secret Sauce moisturizer before I apply the Bye Bye foundation. All three products are perfect for me, but I particularly like the serum. It mesmerizes my skin beyond belief. I am a senior with senior skin, so the anti-aging collagen is especially great!
Rated 5 out of 5 by 53 and looking 40 from Great skin products I am loving the anti-aging products they makey skin feel so smooth and refreshed. Since using your whole product line I have had soany compliments on how young I look. Well I'm only 53. :).
Hi there! Thank you for your question. We recommend cleansing your face first, applying your moisturizer, following with No. 50 Serum™ Anti-Aging Collagen Veil Primer, and finishing with your Bye Bye Foundation! As No. 50 is a primer, we recommend using IT right before makeup application to lock in moisture and prep your skin before your foundation! We hope this helps. XOXO Tina.
What if the primer I want to buy is out of stock? Can I get a rain check for the 25% off?
I am using a serum for getting rid of dark spots. How long do I have to wait before I start using No. 50 Serum?
Hi there! Thank you for your question. We recommend allowing your serum and/or moisturizer to be completely absorbed in your skin before applying your primer. Based on your skin the actual time varies. The primer is the last step to lock in your skincare, and will create a base for your foundation. We hope this helps! XOXO Tina.
Can I use the # 50 serum as a lip primer? If not, what would you recommend? And should lip primer just go on edge of lips or all over?
I'm using several It Cosmetics products including the No. 50 Serum. I recently purchase the Anti-aging Armour SPF 50. Which do I put on first? The primer or the Armour? Thank you.
Hi, can I use the No.50 serum at night as my pm serum before or after I apply my moisturizer? Thanks.
The prior IT Cosmetics No 50 Serum that I purchased was translucent. Is this a new or replacement version of that product? If so, what is different in addition to it no longer being clear? Thank you.
I am 49. I think I need a serum, moisturizer, primer. I have fine lines and fine wrinkles and noticeable pores. What would you recommend and in what order? My somewhat oily areas are nose and chin. Otherwise my skin is kind of dry.
I"m allergic to fragrances. Does this contain fragrance and/or perfume? Does it have a strong perfume smell?
Is this ok for someone with combination skin with a more oily nose?
How does this product differ from the Bye Bye Lines serum?
I use the Confidence in a Compact and love it and am getting ready to start use the Confidence in a cream. Can I use those together or will it be to much!
If the #50 serum is a primer meant to create a barrier for smooth makeup application. If you're using bye bye foundation, will you still get the benefits of the moisturizer or is it blocked by the primer? Can they be used together?
Which product should be applied first?
Does this product help stop acne from appearing? Does it also a product that you would recommend for teens?
Should I use this before or after applying sunscreen?
What is the difference between No. 50 Serum Collagen Veil Anti-Aging Primer and Feel The Moment Anti-Aging Ultra Hydrating Sensory Awakening Primer Serum? I currently use Feel the moment and need to know if I should switch. Thx!
I thought serum was meant to apply before moisturizer, so I usually apply Bye bye lines and then Confidence in a cream. For the #50 serum, I would switch and apply Confidence in a cream first then #50?
Can this primer be used on eyelids?
Which primer gives you the most coverage of large pores?
Would thine no 50 serum or the no pores primer be better for slightly rosey skin? Or could I use the redness moisturizer in place of the confidence in a cream?
I have acne & Rosacea. Is it ok to use this primer?
I'm impressed by the 50+ CC's skincare ingredients, but I'm finding some days I need a fraction more hydration. Won't putting (silicone) primer between CC+ & skin reduce the CC's long term benefit? If so, is there another moisturiser you'd recommend?
I have dry wrinkled skin. Which primer serum would be the best for me?
Does this primer/serum contain silicone?

Q: What's the best way of creating a new object with updated nested properties in modern JavaScript I have a JavaScript object with some nested properties that I want to update based on some conditions. The starting object could be something like:
const options = {
    formatOption: {
        label: 'Model Format',
        selections: {
            name: 'Specific Format',
            value: '12x28',
        }
    },
    heightOption: {
        label: 'Model Height',
        selections: {
            name: 'Specific Height',
            value: '15',
        }
    }
};

I have come up with a solution using Object.keys, reduce and the spread operator, but I would like to know if this is the best / more concise way as of today or if there is a better way. I'm not looking for the most performing option, but for a "best practice" (if there is one) or a more elegant way.
EDIT 30/01/20
As pointed out in the comments by @CertainPerformance my code was mutating the original options variable, so I am changing the line const option = options[key]; to const option = { ...options[key] };. I hope this is correct and that the function is not mutating the original data.
const newObject = Object.keys(options).reduce((obj, key) => {
  const option = { ...options[key] };
  const newVal = getNewValue(option.label); // example function to get new values
    // update based on existence of new value and key
    if (option.selections && option.selections.value && newVal) {
      option.selections.value = newVal;
    }
    return {
      ...obj,
      [key]: option,
    };
}, {});

getNewValue is an invented name for a function that I am calling in order to get an 'updated' version of the value I am looking at. In order to reproduce my situation you could just replace
the line const newVal = getNewValue(option.label); with const newVal = "bla bla";

A: Since you tagged this q with functional-programming here is a functional approach. Functional Lenses are an advanced FP tool and hence hard to grasp for newbies. This is just an illustration to give you an idea of how you can solve almost all tasks and issues related to getters/setters with a single approach:

// functional primitives

const _const = x => y => x;

// Identity type

const Id = x => ({tag: "Id", runId: x});

const idMap = f => tx =>
  Id(f(tx.runId));

function* objKeys(o) {
  for (let prop in o) {
    yield prop;
  }
}

// Object auxiliary functions

const objSet = (k, v) => o =>
  objSetx(k, v) (objClone(o));

const objSetx = (k, v) => o =>
  (o[k] = v, o);

const objDel = k => o =>
  objDelx(k) (objClone(o));

const objDelx = k => o =>
  (delete o[k], o);

const objClone = o => {
  const p = {};

  for (k of objKeys(o))
    Object.defineProperty(
      p, k, Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(o, k));

  return p;
};

// Lens type

const Lens = x => ({tag: "Lens", runLens: x});

const objLens_ = ({set, del}) => k => // Object lens
  Lens(map => ft => o =>
    map(v => {
      if (v === null)
        return del(k) (o);

      else
        return set(k, v) (o)
    }) (ft(o[k])));

const objLens = objLens_({set: objSet, del: objDel});

const lensComp3 = tx => ty => tz => // lens composition
  Lens(map => ft =>
    tx.runLens(map) (ty.runLens(map) (tz.runLens(map) (ft))));

const lensSet = tx => v => o => // set operation for lenses
  tx.runLens(idMap) (_const(Id(v))) (o);

// MAIN

const options = {
    formatOption: {
        label: 'Model Format',
        selections: {
            name: 'Specific Format',
            value: '12x28',
        }
    },
    heightOption: {
        label: 'Model Height',
        selections: {
            name: 'Specific Height',
            value: '15',
        }
    }
};

const nameLens = lensComp3(
  objLens("formatOption"))
    (objLens("selections"))
      (objLens("name"));

const options_ = lensSet(nameLens) ("foo") (options).runId;

// deep update
console.log(options_);

// reuse of unaffected parts of the Object tree (structural sharing)
console.log(
  options.heightOptions === options_.heightOptions); // true

This is only a teeny-tiny part of the Lens machinery. Functional lenses have the nice property to be composable and to utilize structural sharing for some cases.

A: If you want to set a value for a nested property in a immutable fashion,
then you should consider adopting a library rather than doing it manually.

*

*In FP there is the concept of lenses
Ramda provides a nice implementation: https://ramdajs.com/docs/

const selectionsNameLens = R.lensPath(
  ['formatOption', 'selections', 'name'],
);

const setter = R.set(selectionsNameLens);

// ---
const data = {
  formatOption: {
    label: 'Model Format',
    selections: {
      name: 'Specific Format',
      value: '12x28',
    },
  },
  heightOption: {
    label: 'Model Height',
    selections: {
      name: 'Specific Height',
      value: '15',
    },
  },
};

console.log(
  setter('Another Specific Format', data),
);

A: The first comment from CertainPerformance made me realize that I was mutating the original options variable. My first idea was to make a copy with the spread operator, but the spread operator only makes a shallow copy, so even in my edit I was still mutating the original object.
What I think is a solution is to create a new object with only the updated property, and to merge the two objects at the end of the reducer.
EDIT
The new object also needs to be merged with the original option.selections, otherwise I would still overwrite existing keys at that level (ie I would overwrite option.selections.name).
Here is the final code:
const newObject = Object.keys(options).reduce((obj, key) => {
  const option = options[key];
  const newVal = getNewValue(option.label); // example function to get new values
  const newOption = {}; // create a new empty object
  // update based on existence of new value and key
  if (option.selections && option.selections.value && newVal) {
    // fill the empty object with the updated value,
    // merged with a copy of the original option.selections
    newOption.selections = {
      ...option.selections,
      value: newVal
    };
  }
  return {
    ...obj, // accumulator
    [key]: {
      ...option, // merge the old option
      ...newOption, // with the new one
    },
  };
}, {});

A: A more concise version that has been suggested to me would be to use forEach() instead of reduce(). In this case the only difficult part would be to clone the original object. One way would be to use lodash's _.cloneDeep(), but there are plenty of options (see here).
Here is the code:
const newObject = _.cloneDeep(options);
Object.keys(newObject).forEach(key => {
    const newVal = getNewValue(newObject[key].label); // example function to get new values
    // update based on existence of new value and key
    if (newObject[key].selections && newObject[key].selections.value && newVal) {
        newObject[key].selections.value = newVal;
    }
});

The only problem is that forEach() changes values that are declared outside of the function, but reduce() can mutate its parameter (as it happened in my original solution), so the problem is not solved by using reduce() alone.
I'm not sure that this is the best solution, but it surely is much more readable for the average developer than my first try or the other solutions.

United Nations Reclassifies Cannabis
The United Nations Commission for Narcotic Drugs has voted to reclassify cannabis as less dangerous than other, more harmful substances.
On December 2, the commission officially voted to reclassify cannabis from its current position as a Schedule IV substance. The commission meeting was made up of 53 member states and took place in Vienna, Austria. The decision to reclassify was close, a mere two-vote difference at 27 to 25, with Ukraine declining to vote. Countries who voted in favor of reclassification included the United States, many countries in Europe, China, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Russia. This decision comes over a year-and-a-half after the World Health Organization recommended cannabis reclassification in February 2019.
Nearly 60 years have passed since the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs went into effect, which originally classified cannabis as a Schedule IV substance. Other substances in this classification include heroin, among other dangerously addictive substances.
The New York Times notes that this landmark decision won't make any immediate waves in terms of how governments decide to categorize cannabis. However, the United Nations' decision will likely affect future decisions because of its global influence—and has the potential to help cultivate even more interest and acceptance in studying the plant and its many properties. "This is a huge, historic victory for us, we couldn't hope for more," Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli, an independent substance researcher, told The New York Times.
Although cannabis' reclassification is a welcome change, the commission did reject a proposal, referred to as Recommendation 5.5, to exempt CBD with less than 0.2 percent THC. "The establishment of the 0.2% THC limit is not supported by scientific evidence, and the proposed wording does not exclude divergent interpretations concerning the calculation of that limit," said Germany's UN representative, Gerhard Kuentzle, told Hemp Industry Daily. "However, we would welcome further consultation with all relevant stakeholders on the recommendation on the appropriate level of the international control for cannabis preparations with low THC content."

Police firing tear-gas and shots in the air have dispersed a protest against a new sales tax in the Yemeni city of Hudaida.
A local official and witnesses said thousands took part in the demonstration on Tuesday against the 5% tax on luxury goods that has been under debate since 2002, causing disputes between the government and shopkeepers.
The police used tear-gas and fired warning shots when the demonstrators tried to approach the governor's offices, witnesses said.
About a dozen demonstrators were arrested.
A local official confirmed the protest was broken up by police and that most shops in the Red Sea port city had observed a strike. Several shops also stayed closed in Sanaa.
Customs chief Numan al-Shihabi said the tax, expected to finally come into effect in mid-2005, would not apply to a list of 40 products such as foodstuffs and sanitary and educational supplies.
Meanwhile, 3000 Yemeni students staged a sit-in for several hours on Tuesday at Sanaa University to protest against what they called a vicious attack on public freedoms in the country.

Mohohlo faces conflict of interest claims
By Online editor
Bank of Botswana Governor Linah Mohohlo has been caught up in what observers say is a conflict of interest over her links between the Bank of Botswana Staff Pension Fund and Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority (NBFIRA).
Mohohlo is a Board member of NBFIRA.
She also is the Chairperson of the Bank of Botswana Staff Pension Fund.
NBFIRA is a regulator of all pension funds in Botswana, including that of Bank of Botswana.
There is growing concern that by sitting as board member of NBFIRA and also of the Central Bank Staff Pension Fund, Mohohlo is effectively conflicted.
But when contacted for comment, Mohohlo's supervisor, Finance Minister Kenneth Matambo, fell short of describing the revelation as a shock to him, saying he was not in a position to say whether the matter amounted to conflict of interest or not.
"I have never thought about that (Mohohlo being a board member of NBFIRA and Bank of Botswana Pension Funds). I cannot give an answer whether it amounts to conflict of interest or not. Whichever way you look at it, it's up to you to interpret it," he said.
NBFIRA Chief Executive Officer, Oaitse Ramasedi, insisted that Mohohlo's involvement in Bank of Botswana does not pose conflict of interest and he saw nothing untoward.
"The Governor of Bank of Botswana is a statutory Board member in NBFIRA (Sec 11 3(a)). This being the case, if there are any issues of conflict of interest arising from the fact that Bank of Botswana has established an occupational (employer) pension fund, they would have been intended, and allowed for, by law," said Ramasedi.
He explained that this is so because management of any entity subscribing to the ideals of occupational pension funds is expected to have a keen interest in the well-being of that Fund, whether directly through seats on the Board of the Pension Fund, or merely by establishing the said Fund.
"We thus do not view the Governor's involvement in the Bank of Botswana's Pension Fund as posing a conflict of interest, within the context of your question," said Ramasedi.
Sunday Standard is, however, aware that other Pension Funds regulated by BBFIRA are not happy with what they perceive as Mohohlo's undue advantage, which she has the potential to pass to the staff pension fund of Bank of Botswana.
Some of them recently made known their displeasure to officials of the African Development Bank who were in Botswana to check on progress made by NBFIRA on issues such as governance.
African Development Bank (AFDB) has, in the past, released money to NBFIRA to be used to develop structures, including of good corporate governance.

Yes, Tim Tebow made this cut.
Every team has a mistake or three on its roster, but we wondered who the very worst draft pick – ever – was for each franchise and got to work on the research. This is what we came up with.
Chicago has had success in the NFL Draft since the very first one in 1936. However, the Bears' deft drafting when it came to running backs – Gayle Sayers with the fourth pick in 1965, Walton Payton with the fourth pick in 1975 – hit a snag in 1995 with the first-round selection of Rashaan Salaam. The Heisman winner faded after a strong rookie season and in 1998, the Bears drafted Enis out of Penn State to take over. But Enis made only one start as a rookie before tearing a knee ligament and wasn't very good when healthy, averaging 3.3 yards per carry and scoring just four touchdowns. He was moved to fullback, and a degenerative knee condition ended his career after three seasons. The Bears' search for the next Payton produced one more blunder: drafting Cedric Benson with the fourth pick in 2005.
The '90s weren't nice to Cincinnati. Several high draft picks didn't pan out, including back-to-back No. 1s: DT Dan Wilkinson in '94 and RB Ki-Jana Carter – whose career was wrecked by injuries – in '95. But the worst of the bunch was Smith. The Bengals reportedly turned down a package of picks from the Saints (who wanted Ricky Williams) to draft the unproven QB from Oregon. Smith made 17 starts in four years, finishing with an abysmal 52.8 passer rating and five TD passes with 13 interceptions.
Buffalo has a checkered draft history – the Bills drafted both O.J. Simpson and Al Cowlings with top-five picks – with as many misses as hits. (Read about how they blew a No. 1 pick on Tom Cousineau, then turned him into Jim Kelly.) The Bills have drafted some duds in recent years, and Maybin was the worst. They made the Penn State pass rusher a first-round pick despite the fact he never had a full season as a starter, and he started only one game in two seasons with Buffalo and never recorded a sack. Among the players Maybin was drafted ahead of: Brian Cushing and Connor Barwin, both taken by the Texans.
Denver doesn't draft high very often – just three top-10 picks in the past 42 years – so when it misses, it's on a mid-to-late first-rounder. That was the case with Tebow, whom the Broncos traded up to grab, sending second-, third- and fourth-round picks to Baltimore to draft the Heisman-winning QB and two-time national champion out of Florida. Tebow provided a magical run to the postseason and a playoff victory in 2011, but Tebow Time ended after Denver signed Peyton Manning, and Tebow's attempt to continue his career as an NFL quarterback became a nationally covered exercise in futility. He finally gave up his football dreams to pursue a baseball career.
No team has had worse luck in the draft; Cleveland seemingly has a new bust every year. The Browns have squandered the No. 1 pick three times, most notably back to back in 1999 and 2000, when they selected QB Tim Couch and DE Courtney Brown. But perhaps the worst pick was Richardson, who was widely considered the top running back in the draft as a two-time national champion out of Alabama. The Browns traded the No. 4 pick and fourth-, fifth- and seventh-round picks to Minnesota to move up one spot and select Richardson, who ran for 950 yards and 11 TDs as a rookie but averaged just 3.6 yards a carry. Cleveland traded him to Indianapolis the following season for a 2014 first-round pick, which they used to select … Johnny Manziel. Richardson, meanwhile, averaged just 3.1 yards a carry for the Colts and was waived after the 2014 season. He hasn't made the cut with another team since.
Tampa Bay has a dreadful draft history to rival the Browns', and ironically their worst pick probably was the best player they ever drafted. The story of the Bucs drafting Bo is a classic: While recruiting him, the team gave Jackson an ultimatum to choose between baseball and football. Then, Jackson lost his remaining eligibility during Auburn's baseball season due to a trip he took on Bucs owner Hugh Culverhouse's jet, which Jackson said the team told him had been OK'd by the NCAA. Bo believed the Bucs deliberately tried to sabotage his baseball career and vowed never to play for them. "I told Hugh Culverhouse, 'You draft me if you want. You're going to waste a draft pick, I promise you that,' " Jackson said in a "30 for 30" documentary. Tampa Bay drafted him anyway, and a year later relinquished his rights, allowing the Raiders to draft him while the Bucs, who had the No. 1 pick again in 1987, took Vinny Testaverde. They wouldn't make the playoffs again until 1997.
The Cardinals have had many draft busts in their 96 years – Andre Wadsworth? Steve Little, anyone? – and an unlucky draft history, dating to the days when players like Joe Namath routinely rejected them for other leagues like the AFL. Those days were over by 1987, but the Cardinals were burned again when Stouffer rejected their contract offer and held out all year. The Cardinals traded the quarterback's rights to Seattle, where he was mostly a backup for four unremarkable years. Among the players the Cardinals passed up? A few good QBs – Jim Harbaugh, Rich Gannon and Don Majkowski.
Leaf, picked after Peyton Manning, is widely regarded as one of the biggest draft busts of all time. San Diego ignored some pre-draft red flags about his attitude and traded up to get him -- sending the No. 3 pick, a second-rounder, a 1999 first-rounder and two players to Arizona -- and ended up with a petulant, interception-throwing QB. Leaf had two TD passes and 15 interceptions as a rookie, missed the next season due to injury and struggled through one more year before the Chargers cut him. Just three years later, San Diego faced another QB dilemma with the No. 1 pick, as Eli Manning announced he wouldn't play for the Chargers if they drafted him. However, the Chargers picked him and traded him to the Giants for No. 4 pick Philip Rivers and two more selections, which they used to draft LB Shawne Merriman and K Nate Kaeding – quite a haul.
In 1964, Kansas City used the No. 2 pick in its second-ever AFL draft to select USC QB Pete Beathard to back up Len Dawson, who had only, oh, 12 more seasons left in him. Beathard backed him up for three years before being traded to Houston. Nineteen years later, the Chiefs used another high pick to draft a backup QB, Blackledge, passing up Dan Marino and Jim Kelly in the best QB class of all time. Blackledge didn't become the starter until late in the 1985 season, then was replaced midway through '86. He started his only career playoff game that season due to an injury to Bill Kenney, going 12-of-21 for 80 yards and two interceptions in a 30-15 loss to the Jets.
Indianapolis has drafted so deftly for the past 20 years that you might forget how disastrous the previous two decades were. There was the Art Schlichter scandal. The trades of John Elway (No. 1 in the famous QB class of '83) and Cornelius Bennett when they couldn't sign them. The career-ruining injuries to Steve Emtman and Trev Albert in the '90s. But the pick that played out the worst was George. Three days before the 1990 draft, Indy traded six-time Pro Bowl guard Chris Hinton, future Pro Bowl receiver Andre Rison, a fifth-round pick and a 1991 first-rounder (used to draft WR Mike Pritchard) to Atlanta for the No. 1 pick, which the Colts used to select the QB out of Illinois. George got $15 million, the richest rookie contract at the time, however he went 14-35 as a starter, refused to report to camp at the beginning of 1993 and was traded to, ironically, Atlanta after the season. The Colts received first- and third-round picks and a conditional 1996 pick. They traded the first two to select Alberts fifth overall in '94, but the conditional pick paid off: Indy, whose draft luck had begun to turn, selected future Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison at No. 19.
It's a tribute to Dallas' drafting that the worst they've done is waste a few mid- to late-first-round picks. Carver was one of those, a defensive end out of Arizona State who disappointed (including a six-game drug suspension) until his contract year, putting together a 40-tackle, six-sack season that exceeded his previous three years combined. But it wasn't enough to get him a new contract from the Cowboys – or any other NFL team. He did, however, provide a few more small returns for Jerry Jones, earning All-Rookie honors in the Arena Football League for Jones' team, the Dallas Desperados.
As an expansion team, Miami had the first two picks in the 1966 AFL Draft and selected RB Jim Grabowski, who opted to instead sign with the Packers in the NFL, and QB Rick Norton, who did sign with the Dolphins and threw six TD passes and 30 interceptions in four seasons. That's pretty bad, but Jordan arguably established himself as the Dolphins' worst draft pick while he was still on the team – albeit on the non-football injury list. Jordan, a defensive end out of Oregon whom the Dolphins traded up to select, had 26 tackles and two sacks as a rookie, then 20 and two the next year while serving a six-game suspension for twice violating the NFL's drug policy. He missed all of 2015 for a third violation and all of 2016 with a knee injury before the Dolphins finally released him.
Philadelphia had the first pick of the first NFL Draft in 1936, selected Heisman winner Jay Berwanger, then traded his rights because the Eagles didn't think they could sign him. If that's not an inauspicious debut, what is? But perhaps their biggest flop was Williams, an offensive tackle out of Georgia who made several all-rookie teams, then was banned from the NFL for smoking marijuana. A lot. "I was young and dumb," Williams told the Philadelphia Daily News in 2001. "Not many people get the opportunities I had. And I wasted them."
Atlanta blew a No. 1 pick on Aundray Bruce in 1988, but the Pickens pick was even worse. A cornerback out of Nebraska, Pickens made just eight starts in less than 2½ seasons, with 72 tackles, two interceptions and a sack – pointing to this pre-draft assessment: "A junior-college transfer who hasn't been exposed to top passing offenses and is somewhat raw in overall development but has the best physical skill of the DBs this year. Very athletic." Missing on Pickens didn't stop the Falcons from wasting another first-round pick on a Nebraska cornerback – they took the forgettable Michael Booker at No. 11 in 1997.
The NFL just never agreed with Spurrier, a disappointment stretched over nine seasons. Selected to eventually succeed QB John Brodie, Spurrier saw more playing time as a punter at first. He attempted fewer than five passes in three of his first five seasons and struggled to maintain any amount of success. Even when Brodie retired, the starting job still was elusive: Spurrier missed almost all of 1974 with injuries and found only fleeting success the following year. He was dealt to the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs, ending his time in San Francisco with 33 TD passes and 48 interceptions. Spurrier, of course, went on to be a coaching legend, but once again couldn't carry over his success at Florida to the NFL, overseeing two losing seasons with the Washington Redskins before resigning and returning to the college game.
Believe it or not, former QB Dave Brown isn't the worst pick New York ever made. He's not even the worst guy named Brown the Giants drafted. That would be the underachieving tight end out of Notre Dame. He had 11 catches for 87 yards in two seasons before being relegated mostly to special teams in his last year in the Big Apple. Johnny Mitchell, drafted by the Jets just one spot later, had a better tight end career even though he retired at age 25. Brown was taken by Jacksonville in the expansion draft and bounced around the league before retiring.
What about that Gabbert-to-Blackmon connection, right Jags fans? While Jacksonville blew it in drafting its supposed QB/WR duo of the future in Blaine Gabbert and Justin Blackmon – the latter of whom has been denied reinstatement by the NFL after arrests and drug violations – trading up to draft Harvey was an even bigger blunder. The Jags sent the No. 26 pick, two second-rounders and a fourth-rounder to Baltimore to select the defensive end out of Florida, who started all 16 games just once in three seasons before he was waived. Harvey never started another game in the NFL.
New York has drafted some duds in recent years, and Gholston was the worst. The Jets converted him from defensive end to outside linebacker, but the Ohio State product never recorded a single sack in three seasons, becoming the first defensive end drafted in the top 10 to fail to do so, according to The Wall Street Journal. Gholston made just five starts and finished with 42 career tackles before being released. He never played again.
Detroit, like Cleveland, has had enough bad picks to make a list of its own. Charles Rogers' sad story wasn't even the worst by a Rogers – that would be Reggie Rogers, convicted of vehicular homicide. Joey Harrington and Mike Williams helped make the Matt Millen era the worst in franchise history. But the worst pick would have to be Ware, who couldn't even get in games. Drafting the Houston QB gave the Lions the past two Heisman winners in Ware and Barry Sanders, but Ware remained glued to the bench behind Rodney Peete and Erik Kramer. He appeared in just 14 games in four years, with a 63.5 passer rating, then never took another regular-season snap. Ware ended up in the CFL backing up another Heisman winner: Doug Flutie.
Green Bay is legendary for turning low picks into great players, but the Packers own a piece of notoriety for picking Mandarich. Hyped by Sports Illustrated as "the best offensive line prospect ever," Mandarich was drafted behind Troy Aikman and ahead of Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion Sanders. Instead he proved to be a Brian Bosworth-type bust, as steroids, alcohol and painkillers contributed to his crashing out of Green Bay after three seasons. Mandarich managed a comeback with the Colts after getting sober but never lived up to the hype.
Only the Panthers' pick of Rae Carruth ranks above the Patriots' pick of Hernandez in NFL Draft infamy. Though Hernandez was a great pick by football standards, catching 175 passes and 18 TDs in three seasons, the character issues that they overlooked in drafting the tight end came back to haunt them when he was charged with murder (and later convicted) in 2013. The Patriots probably should have learned their lesson after failing to do their homework in drafting Christian Peter in 1996. The Nebraska defensive tackle had been arrested eight times and accused of committing violence against women numerous times. Under pressure – reportedly from owner Robert Kraft's wife Myra – the Pats became the first team in history to cut a drafted player before training camp.
Oakland's selection of Russell is such a famous flop that it even trumps picking Todd Marinovich. The LSU QB tantalized Al Davis with his size (6-foot-6) and arm but battled his weight and a reputation for bad work habits and Oakland released him after three seasons. He never got another chance in the NFL. Russell finished with a 7-18 record as a starter, 18 TD passes vs. 23 interceptions and a 65.2 passer rating.
The Rams not only took a risk on Phillips and got burned, but to clear the way for him they traded Jerome Bettis, who went on to a Hall of Fame career with the Steelers, on the day of the draft. Like Christian Peter, Phillips was a talented but troubled Nebraska star, and St. Louis paid the price for ignoring his red flags. Phillips was arrested three times in 19 months before the Rams cut him, and while both the Dolphins and 49ers gave him opportunities, on- and off-field problems ended those stints and his NFL career. Sadly for Phillips, the worst was yet to come: He went to prison for driving his car into a group of teens following a dispute and also was convicted of domestic violence charges. While in prison Phillips was charged with murdering his cellmate. He committed suicide in January.
The Ravens have been around for just 20 years, but they've had more success in the draft than some teams twice their age. Consider: They plucked Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis with their first two picks in team history. However, they didn't have any luck drafting a quarterback until 2008, when they took Joe Flacco. Chris Redman, a third-round pick in 2000, made just six starts in four seasons, and Boller, who was drafted to replace him, never lived up to his potential despite starting 42 games in five seasons. Injuries and Boller's propensity to turn the ball over (44 interceptions, 36 fumbles) led Baltimore to trade for Steve McNair in 2006, and the two alternated as the starter over the next two seasons before McNair retired, the Ravens fired Brian Billick and drafted Flacco. Boller got to compete for the starting job again, but a preseason injury put him on IR, ending his time in Baltimore. He made just five more starts in his career without a win.
Washington has had some regrettable draft history going back decades – just read the stories of Cal Rossi and Ernie Davis – but in modern history, nothing tops the selection of Shuler. The Tennessee QB was expected to return the Redskins to dominance, after four Super Bowl appearances from 1982-91. Instead he lost the starting job to a QB, Gus Frerotte, drafted behind him in the seventh round. Shuler had more success in Washington as a Congressman (2007-13) than an NFL QB – he lasted just three seasons, throwing for 13 TDs and 19 interceptions in 13 starts before being traded to the Saints. The Redskins, meanwhile, made the playoffs just once in the decade after drafting Shuler.
New Orleans has had some horrible draft history since trading the No. 1 pick in its first draft, in 1967, to Indianapolis for QB Gary Cuozzo, who lasted just one season. More messes followed – the Saints selected a punter, Russell Erxleben, 11th in 1979 – but the biggest was Mike Ditka going all in with Williams. The former Bears coach believed Williams could be his new Walter Payton and convinced the Saints to trade every pick they had in the draft, plus a first- and third-rounder the next year, to Washington for the fifth pick. The Saints gave up eight picks in all for Williams, who couldn't save them from a 3-13 season that cost Ditka and GM Bill Kuharich their jobs. Williams was a 1,000-yard rusher each of the next two seasons, but the Saints traded him to Miami and regained a couple of first-round picks, while Williams went on to a tumultuous career that included a one-year drug suspension and another year-long absence – also drug-related.
Seattle's best known bust is The Boz, but the Seahawks have done worse. After missing on Dan McGwire with the 16th pick in 1991, Seattle spent another first-round pick on a QB two years later – and missed again. Despite finishing second to former Notre Dame teammate Jerome Bettis in offensive ROY voting, Mirer struggled in four seasons in Seattle, throwing 41 TD passes and 56s interceptions before being traded to Chicago. On the bright side, the Seahawks got a first-rounder for Mirer, which they parlayed into the No. 3 pick in the 1997 draft that became Shawn Springs, who went on to be a Pro Bowl cornerback while Mirer never threw a TD pass for the Bears.
Pittsburgh rarely drafts high – just three top-10 picks in the past 30 years – and misses on a pick even less often. But this was one of the rare occasions when a late first-round pick proved especially costly. The Steelers passed on University of Pittsburgh's Dan Marino to pick Rivera, an All-American nose tackle from Texas Tech. But one terrible mistake behind the wheel during his rookie season – "I was drinking and wasn't wearing a seat belt" he told FOX Sports in 2013 – left him paralyzed. Miami picked Marino, and Pittsburgh wouldn't draft its next franchise QB until Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
Right bloodline, wrong Carr brother. Houston was awarded the top pick as an expansion team and used it to select the Fresno State QB, who compiled a 22-53 record in five seasons as the starter. Sure, he was sacked a record 76 times as a rookie, but it wasn't simply a case of good QB on a bad team. Carr played six more seasons with three teams and started just four games. (He did get a Super Bowl ring with the Giants in 2011 without playing a snap.) The Texans also struck out with the first pick in the expansion draft, taking Tony Boselli – the Jags' first-ever pick as an expansion team in 1995, who became a Pro Bowl offensive tackle. But Boselli never played for the Texans due to injuries and retired.
The franchise began as the Houston Oilers, and after picking Billy Cannon in the very first AFL Draft in 1960, they won the first two AFL championship games, with Cannon earning MVP honors both times. Houston didn't always draft so well, but the Oilers managed to turn some big mistakes into good trades – with Scott Appleton, No. 1 pick John Matuszak and No. 3 pick Jim Everett after they failed to sign him. However, the Titans had no such luck with Locker, whom they drafted to replace another failed pick, Vince Young, at QB. While Locker might've been a better pocket passer, the Titans weren't nearly as successful with him as their starter (9-14), and in 2015 he retired, citing a lack of desire to keep playing.
Minnesota has been one of the best teams in the draft since selecting Fran Tarkenton in its first year. The Vikings haven't had many misses, but they goofed twice in the first round in 2005. Williamson's three years were marked more by his drops than his 79 catches – he reportedly blamed poor depth perception at one point – and he was traded to Jacksonville, where he had just eight more catches, for a sixth-rounder.

Zebra Technologies Corporation has revealed the results of its inaugural 'Intelligent Enterprise Index'. This global survey analyses where companies are on the route to becoming an intelligent enterprise, how they are connecting the physical and digital worlds to improve visibility, efficiencies and growth.
Globally, 48 per cent are on the path to becoming intelligent enterprises, scoring between 50-75 points on the overall index. Only five per cent exceeded 75 points. In comparison, Asia Pacific respondents scored above the global average, with 51 per cent of those polled scoring between the 50-75 points, but merely two per cent were above the 75-point benchmark that qualify them to be considered an 'intelligent' enterprise.
The Intelligent Enterprise Index measures to what extent companies today are meeting the criteria that define today's intelligent enterprise. Some of the criteria include Internet of Things (IoT) vision and adoption plan, as well as business engagement in developing a return on investment for IoT. The criteria were identified by leading executives, industry experts and policymakers across different industries at the 2016 Strategic Innovation Symposium: The Intelligent Enterprise, which was hosted by Zebra in collaboration with the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard (TECH) last year.
"An 'intelligent enterprise' is one that leverages ties between the physical and digital worlds to enhance visibility and mobilise actionable insights that create better customer service, drive operational efficiencies or enable new business models," said Tom Bianculli, chief technology officer at Zebra.
The framework of an Intelligent Enterprise is based on technology that integrate cloud computing, mobility, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to automatically 'sense' information from enterprise assets. Operational data from these assets, including status, location, utilisation, or preferences, is then 'analysed' to provide actionable insights, which can then be mobilised to the right person at the right time so they can be 'acted' upon to drive better, more timely decisions by users anywhere, at any time.
IoT vision is strong and investment set to increase. In APAC, 38 per cent of companies spend more than $1 million towards IoT annually, and 80 per cent expect that number to increase in the next one to two years. In fact, 67 per cent of APAC companies expect their IoT investment to increase by 11 per cent or more during this time. However, 39 per cent of companies today have not executed on their IoT plans or do not have any plans at all. Although only 36 per cent currently have company-wide deployment, it is expected that 65 per cent will have it deployed company-wide in the future.
Customer service is driving IoT. Seventy-one per cent of companies claim the largest driver of IoT investment is improving the customer service. In the future, increasing revenue (54 percent) and expanding into new markets (53 percent) are expected to be the largest drivers.
Business engagement is top of mind, but culture should be given more consideration. Eighty-one per cent of companies have a method in place to measure ROI from their IoT plan, and 73 per cent have IoT plans that address both the cultural and process changes necessary to implement it.
Many companies lack an adoption plan. Fifty-four per cent of companies expect resistance to adopt their IoT solution, yet don't have a plan in place to address it. Only 27 per cent who expect resistance, have a plan to address it.
Companies keep employees informed, but there is room for more. Approximately 83 per cent of companies share information from their IoT solutions with their employees more than once a day, of which half of these employers share in real or near-real time. However, only 34 per cent provide actionable information to all employees, and information is provided either via email (69 percent) or as raw data (67 per cent).
The online survey was fielded from 3-23 August 2017 across a wide range of segments, including healthcare, manufacturing, retail and transportation and logistics.
In total, 908 IT decision makers from nine countries were interviewed, including the US, UK/Great Britain, France, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil. Of these, about a third were from the APAC markets, including China, India, and Australia/New Zealand.

Littorals in the in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas and the Bath Plantation, Barbados are comparative in many ways. These edges of the sea have provided critical services to local people during the time of slavery and since. More than food and medicine, the littoral is the nightly sea bath, where children are instructed, and the last ecosystem effectively used by the elderly. Independence and self- respect derive from use and protection of these littoral by individuals and communities. Local patterns of conservation and use are argued to be essential in the ecological structure and functions of the littoral. Development projects and marine protected areas alike are seen as potentially breaking local ties with the littoral causing trophic skew and damaging local society. If development occurs, mitigation solutions potentially derive from legally recognizing local people as partners in the co-management of their traditional littoral. Included with this article is a presentation prepared by Drs. Brent and Richard Stoffle.


Torrey is 2 years old today. It seems so hard to believe we have had her in our family that long.
She came into our home when she was 8 weeks old and the cutest little fluff ball ever.
She has been a constant source of entertainment and laughter. When she was just tiny she would chase Roxy and want to play so bad. But Roxy was in no way going to have any of THAT. Play….hmph, you could hear her say. Despite the rocky start with her older sister, Torrey continued to grow and develop into a smart and playful puppy. Even showing artistic ability at 5 months of age.
Torrey has always loved the outdoors, and snow in particular.
Last year for her 1 year birthday it snowed. She was positive it had snowed just for her and had a blast with her new kong flyer.
She can be a little quirky, we are positive she wears a watch because she keeps such a tight schedule.
But she knows how to relax.
She insists on starting each day, and finishing each evening on my lap. Yes she is a 30 pound dog, and yes Roxy wants in on that too.
Even though she is the younger sister, and Roxy has the blog named after her, Torrey is perfectly content to take the back seat and get her share of face time on the blog. Which, is quite a bit of face time cause she is so darn cute.
After almost two years, Roxy and Torrey are best friends. Torrey watches out for Roxy all the time and I would hate to think what she would do if another dog came after Roxy. And, one time Roxy barked at a Newfoundland that came to say hello to Torrey but scared her to death instead. The Newf went away confused to say the least.
Roxy will be 8 soon, and I hope she lives a very long time. For my sake, but especially for Torrey's. She would really miss her.
Here I am hiking with my three best friends, the hubs is behind the camera.

For thousands of years, people in India have turned to the holistic, traditional system of Ayurveda for healing and relaxation. Purported to be the world's oldest health care system, Ayurveda helps patients achieve full-body balance and wellbeing, using everything from custom-made meals to personal massages, bespoke oil treatments to other hand-picked methods of care. Though Ayurveda has its origins in the south of India, these days the best Ayurvedic Retreats in India are found all over the country. For a good introduction, begin with six of the best Ayurvedic holidays in India, and just see if you don't feel fully pampered and brand new by the time your therapists are through.
The very first Ayurvedic resort in the world? Somatheeram claims to hold the title, making it a must-visit stay for those looking to delve deeply into Ayurvedic treatments in India. Luxury is certainly on offer: guests stay in private villas and are literally steps from the soothing surf of the Arabian Sea. But an intensive roster of treatments, trained professionals, and yoga classes also ensure that wellness remains the retreat's top objective.

And, oh yes, a huge spa facility with nearly 100 treatments available and a number of qualified Ayurvedic doctors on-staff. No wonder Ananda in the Himalayas ranks among the best Ayurvedic resorts in India.
Amidst the palm groves, the tropical climate, the stunning backwaters and the photogenic shorelines of Kerala, lies Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort. But it isn't only its languid setting that makes this retreat such a destination. In its lavishly appointed spa, outfitted with traditional architectural touches and lovely fountains, guests have access to experts in yoga, Ayurveda, and naturopathy, and treatments that seek to assist with everything from purification and detox to anti-stress and relaxation techniques.

How do I disable R/C autocalibration without turning off the signal timeout on a Sabertooth?
While SyRen and R/C-model Sabertooth drivers have separate DIP switches for autocalibration and signal timeout, most Sabertooth drivers have a microcontroller mode DIP switch. This lets you choose between, on the one hand, automatic calibration and signal timeout, and on the other, fixed calibration and no signal timeout.
Go to the RC page in DEScribe and check "Use custom range even when Switch 6 is UP (standard RC mode)". Then set Switch 6 to UP. This will disable microcontroller mode (turning signal timeout on) while using the fixed calibration you've specified.


Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder that causes blood vessel abnormalities in the nose, skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, brain, and liver. Nosebleeds are the most common symptom of HHT, but abnormal vessels in other organs, if they are not diagnosed and treated, can lead to serious medical complications, including stroke, hemorrhage, anemia, and brain abscess. Psychologist Sara Palmer, who has HHT herself and is an expert in helping people cope with health conditions, draws on current research as she thoroughly describes the symptoms of HHT, explains how the diagnosis is made (and often missed), and details treatment options. While addressing the medical aspects of HHT, Palmer also reveals how people affected by the disorder can maintain their emotional health, take care of family members, and live life as fully as possible. Enriched with illustrations, personal stories of people living with HHT, a glossary, and contact information for the HHT Centers of Excellence (which provide coordinated medical treatment for people with the disorder), Living with HHT is a complete resource for individuals with HHT and their families. This guide is also essential for health professionals seeking more information about this underdiagnosed disease.
