Policy in the Time of Pandemic: Social Transfers in South Africa during the Coronavirus National Lockdown
Comparative and International Policy Report
Alan Hirsch Thokozani Chilenga, Florencia Belvedere
This case study details the policy choices and decisions of the South African government to provide economic relief, through social grants, to vulnerable South Africans and those resident in South Africa to enable them to withstand the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The first phase of this relief was provided for six months in 2020. The most important and lingering decisions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic were made during this time. This case study presents the policy actors, processes, and decisions that characterized the social relief policy during this time. On 15 March 2020, South Africa declared a national state of disaster as a result of the rise in transmissions of the coronavirus. The national government convened a National Coronavirus Command Council and declared a 21-day national lockdown, beginning on 26 March 2020, as part of efforts to contain the spread of the virus. Urgent meetings and consultations were convened to enable balanced and important decision making about the measures required to assist millions of vulnerable individuals and households in South Africa. These measures included top-ups of existing social grants as well as provision of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in addition to existing social grants. The first phase of the SRD and top-up grants took place between May and October 2020. In addition, at least 250,000 food parcels were distributed over a fortnight in April 2020. In unravelling decision-making processes, the case study describes the range of policy actors, from the President to national government departments, research organizations, experts, and civil society organizations, that were consulted and contributed to the government's social relief policy during this time. Particular attention is given to how these processes unfolded during a time of crisis and emergency and whether they were able to conform to ordinary consultation processes during an extraordinary time. The objective of this case study is to provide students with an overview of the policy issues, main government and non-government actors, and key decisions that led to the adoption and provision of social relief measures during the 2020 phase of the pandemic. The issues that this case study will provide for students' critical analysis include: government's perceptions of the available choices for social relief, including assumptions about other sources of support for the poor, and how political factors might have influenced outcomes; perceptions about the government's fiscal space and the influence of such perceptions on decisions about the scope, amount, and duration of the SRD grant and grant top-ups; influences around the formal decision-making processes in South Africa during this time; and the impact of topping up existing social grants and implementing the SRD grant.

The Joskin Trailer's tailgate can be fixed in various positions. The corn hatch on the trailer is also opened, as well as the tailgate. The trailer has a tipping trough and a fold down support leg. The trailer has a 3 axle chassis.
The 3-axle tipper of the Belgium manufacturer Joskin is one of the largest and heaviest tipping trailers on the market. Designed for heavy load and transport under extreme conditions such as working underground or agricultural use on rough terrain, the originals of these "monsters" capture up to 24 tons of payload or up to 29 cubic metres capacity.
The development of this impressive BRUDER model is the same way as the original "Trans-SPACE" series and has a folding and locking tipping trough with automatic tailgate opening in accordance with our slogan "just like the real thing". The 3-axle chassis compensates all terrain roughness. This tipping trailer is the ideal match to the new generation tractors of the TOP Profi series that have been available since Autumn 2004 and have already delighted many customers.

Q: Idiomatically accessing json objects with clojurescript Anyone have any docs for idiomatic clojurescript for access a javascript object (returned as json, essentially a hash)?
I have a JSON object returned via an AJAX request:
{
  list: [1,2,3,4,5],
  blah: "vtha",
  o: { answer: 42 }
}

How do I access these fields using clojurescript?
I can do:
(.-list data)

But how does this work when I have nested values and objects?
(.-answer (.-o data))

The above seems to be quite clumsy, especially given the nice js syntax of: data.o.answer.
What is the idiomatic way of accessing json objects with clojurescript?
Note:
I realised that I can actually refer to elements using JS syntax, which is quite handy actually. So the following will work correctly:
(str data.o.answer)

A: If you're dealing with any amount of data, I'd convert the JSON into clojure data structures and then use the usual idioms:
(let [my-json (js* "{
                     list: [1,2,3,4,5],
                     blah: \"vtha\",
                     o: { answer: 42 }
                   }")
      converted (js->clj my-json)]

  (get-in converted ["list" 3]) ;; => 4
  (-> converted "o" "answer") ;;=> 42
)

(Note: don't use js* if you can help it; it's not idiomatic and might go away in future versions of ClojureScript.)

A: Clojurescript has a .. operator that is useful for chained javascript calls:
(.. data -o -answer) => data.o.answer => 42
(aget (.. data -list) 1) => data.list[1] => 2

You can use most list operators on arrays too, e.g.
(into [] (.. data -list)) ; vector [1 2 3 4]

A: Forget about aget, it's mainly designed for array (array get). Use

*

*goog.object/get

*goog.object/set

See more

*

*https://clojurescript.org/news/2017-07-14-checked-array-access

A: You probably want aget:
(aget foo "list")

aget isn't variadic yet, but hopefully will be soon
it's variadic now. (aget data "o" "answer") would work

A: Firstly, your proposed syntax for nested access does work:
ClojureScript:cljs.user> (def data
    (JSON/parse "{\"list\": \"[1,2,3,4,5]\", \"blah\": \"vtha\", \"o\": {\"answer\": \"42\"}}"))
#<[object Object]>
ClojureScript:cljs.user> (.-answer (.-o data))
"42"

You can use the threading macros...
ClojureScript:cljs.user> (-> data (.-o) (.-answer))
"42"

Or .. notation
ClojureScript:cljs.user> (.. data -o -answer)
"42"

Today, in an historic and forceful decision, US District Court Chief Judge James S. Ware denied anti-marriage forces' motion to throw out the decision that ruled Prop. 8 unconstitutional.
He erased all doubt that the Prop. 8 trial was anything but fair and thorough and sent a powerful message that extreme fringe groups cannot strong-arm the law.
Prop. 8 is hanging by a thread. AFER will be before the California Supreme Court in September and we expect to have a resolution on the issue of standing within months.
It really was the defendants' most desperate move yet, their contention that the ruling should be vacated because Judge Vaughn Walker is gay. Therefore, it's not surprising that their disgusting notion that, because Walker might "personally benefit" from the Prop. 8 ruling, his ruling should not stand, was laughed out of court. This fight is far from over, but if the last couple of years have shown us anything, it's that our opponents' longstanding contempt for the courts makes sense, at least from their perspective. They only win battles when they aren't forced to testify in a court of law, when they're not constrained by a prohibition on lying.
The ruling is here if you want to read it.

Texas imam fighting to make Google searches Sharia-compliant
Omar Suleiman is a practiced deceiver, and he is now trying to ensure that Google will not give people access to accurate information about Islam and jihad. If Google accedes to his demands, how will it know that the sites he is blocking are wrong and the sites he is referring traffic to are correct? […]
The annual Ramadan 'Iftar' dinner for Muslims at the White House isn't the only thing the Trump Administration has axed
by BareNakedIslam
Administration officials also have eliminated plans to use millions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars to fund Islamic organizations and alleged Muslim charities allied with former President Barack Obama, including anti-American Muslim individuals like sharia-proponent Linda Sarsour. Also eliminated are Muslim government employees from the Obama team who were linked to these nefarious Islamic organizations.
Breitbart (h/t Emma) The turnaround was made public on Friday when the Department of Homeland Security announced a revised list of the organizations which are getting DHS funds to help prevent young Muslims from becoming jihadis. The new list replaced an Obama list announced January 13, 2017, and it dropped a $800,000 grant for an Islamic seminary in Los Angeles, and a $393,000 grant for a linked organization, the Muslim Public Affairs Council Foundation.

Supreme Court gives President Trump TRAVEL BAN VICTORY #backtheban
By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT
The court said Monday the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could be enforced as long as they lack a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
It's a good day.
Court partly reinstates Trump travel ban, fall arguments set
By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press, June 26, 2017:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is letting a limited version of the Trump administration ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries to take effect, a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.
Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts.

Master of Illusion...Perpetrator of Collusion
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
"We had no indication prior to the election that adversaries were planning cyber operations against election infrastructure that would change the outcome of the 2016 election." - Samuel Liles, acting director of the DHS Cyber Division
He thought he had moved the pieces on the chess board in such a way as to not only assure that Hillary would be anointed president, but in such a way as to checkmate the enemy in the outside chance that she did not win...in the outside chance the American people were fooled, bamboozled, or were just he thought stupid enough to elect a man whose presidency he would need to bring down.
And so he lined up his pawns, being ever so careful to pick and chose those he thought would serve him well and he did the same with those he chose to be the behind-the-scenes manipulators and string pullers...string pullers he thought had enough political smarts that they knew the ways of how not to be caught. But as events unfolded the fact was shown that sometimes even he who thinks himself all powerful and all knowing can and does misjudge the very ones whose strings he pulls...and so he becomes exposed as not the chess master he thought himself to be but the court jester in the true chess king's court.
So when all the puppets, the manipulators, and string pullers are played in such a way as to remove them from the game board, the piece left on the board is not the one who thought himself the chess master but is the one who actually was the architect of all things anti-Trump. And while first in one's mind is probably sore-loser Hillary Clinton...a 'she' thinking herself powerful enough to be considered a political 'he'...know that while she most assuredly is part of those who laid the ground work and perpetrated the lies of Russian 'supposed' involvement in the 2016 election...also know that she is not smart enough to lay out the all-important time line of what would happen when, where, how, and to whom.
Nor is it the 6' 8" giant of man named James Comey... former F.B.I Director and Hillary protector James Comey...for no matter his size or the position he once held he is a weak and cowardly man...a man who fell for President Trump's cleverly crafted chess move of 'what if tapes existed' of conversations said...he is a man who folded under pressure not for altruistic reasons but because he knew he had to save both his and Hillary's sorry selves for fear of his becoming yet another victim left in the wake of the Clinton's, I believe, body count numbers.
And then there's former Attorney General Loretta Lynch...another 'she' who thinks herself still powerful enough to be a political 'he'...who met with Billy-Boy Clinton himself on a tarmac in Phoenix AZ not to talk about grandkids and golf as they first claimed, but who now say they cannot talk because 'supposedly' what they discussed involved national security information and as such is not for public consumption. Oh really, then what about AG Lynch discussing 'supposed' national security issues with a man who was then and remains now a private citizen. Guess there's is a lot of 'ooops' going around on that one.
And dare we not forget the collective 'he' known as the mainstream media...the bishops of sort always riding across the chess board on horseback to help 'save the Democrat's very bad day'...or at least to help deflect the attention off of who is the real architect of the 24/7 'fake news' story that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election away from Hillary.
But when the strategy used via secrets kept is the hoped for final move that would allow a checkmate position to be had...when that strategy 'somehow' makes it into the public domain...there not only is no checkmate but the one architect of this so vile a game plan is now exposed as Barack HUSSEIN Obama himself.
Now we knew that along didn't we...if we didn't we should have.
And why is Obama the architect of all things anti-Trump...simply because Obama knew about 'supposed' Russian hacking activity directed at U.S. political parties, think tanks, and other targets in early August 2016. And how did he know...because it was then C.I.A. Director John Brennan himself who alerted Obama to possible Russian election interference as well as telling him that in no way could the Russians interfere with the all-important voter tabulations and that the "integrity of the vote" was secure.
And yet with the election being mere months away, and with it now being known that DNC computer systems were indeed breached in the summer of 2015 and again in the spring of 2016, Obama still did not say or do a thing about it, thus willingly and maliciously also covering-up what he was eventually told by Brennan. And he knew well that his silence would buy him the time needed to both plan and set in motion his now being formulated scenario to 'blame the Russians' if by some chance Hillary lost...something we all know she was never expected to do what with all the illegal and dead votes Obama had waiting in the wings ready to be cast for Hillary's first term in office...actually what he knew would be his third term in office.
"It is the hardest thing about my entire time in government to defend, I feel like we sort of choked," said a former senior Obama administration official involved in White House deliberations on what to do about Russia, but said on the condition that he would remain anonymous
So what was Obama's response upon learning from the C.I.A. in August that the Russians were 'supposedly' trying to influence the election in Donald Trump's favor.. .they were mere token responses actually not taken until late December 2016...five months after he found out...symbolic responses made to placate his critics and quiet down those who demanded he do something as he still needed a bit more time to finalize the last details of his 'Trump colluded with the Russians' nonsensical scenario.
According to a recent Washington Post article some key staffers said that Obama's actions finally taken against Russia were "modest" at best, with others claiming they were not "aggressive" enough because Obama did not want to "make things worse" with Putin, while still others stood by Obama and his decisions made. And those decisions consisted of his issuing some token economic sanctions on Russia in late 2016...economic sanctions so narrowly targeting that some who helped design them stated their impact was largely symbolic especially since those sanctions were put in place to punish Russia for other issues and not specifically for their hacking and 'supposed' collusion.
And those actions also included Obama approving but never using...I repeat...never using...a previously undisclosed covert measure that authorized the planting of cyber-weapons into Russia's infrastructure...cyber-weapons referred to as 'digital bombs'... digital bombs that could be remotely detonated to help prevent us from becoming the target of further Russian cyber-threats or if we found ourselves "in an escalating exchange with Moscow"...yet never once saying specifically what 'escalating' meant.
And oh yes, girlie-man Obama also told Vladimir Putin, aka the Russian-bear, to "cut it out." when they met at the G-20 Summit in China. How Putin must have been shaking in his steel-toed boots with that one.
So basically Obama did nothing of true substance as he, I believe, fervently worked to set in motion (with the help of James Comey, Hillary Clinton, and not surprisingly then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice who ordered the National Security Council to "finalize" the above list of "modest" options to use against Russia), what he saw as his payback for not just an election lost, but for an election lost that angered his New World Order string pullers, for now their 2020 and 2050 agenda got set back as well.
And no matter how hard the media works to keep the Trump/Russia blame game in the forefront of the 24/7 news cycle, to date no evidence whatsoever has been found by anyone...neither Democrat or Republican...to prove that candidate Trump colluded with anyone let alone the Russians. And even after the late-July 2016 WikiLeaks dump...which quite coincidentally (yeah right) just happened to come on the eve of the Democratic convention...saw U.S. intelligence officials continuing to express their uncertainty about who was behind the hacks or even why they were carried out.
Also, has there been no evidence found that President Trump or the White House tried to obstruct justice or close down any Congressional or federal investigation. In fact, fired F.B.I. Director James Comey himself, under oath, told Congress that Trump never obstructed justice, and former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson also said U.S. intelligence officials continued to express "uncertainty" about who was behind the hacks or why they were carried out. And with us now knowing that Obama knew that the Russians were hacking into certain key Democratic Party data networks for months leading up to the election...just as we do to theirs in the game called spying I might add...and that as he did virtually nothing to stop them...logic dictates that all roads lead back to Obama.
And while Barack HUSSEIN Obama differed with now sore-loser Hillary Clinton in the fact that he accepted that Donald Trump won the election not by voter fraud or voter intimidation (as he had done during his second election and as Hillary had just tried to do), but simply by his playing by the rules...as in candidate Trump understanding that Electoral College votes 'trump' the popular vote, leading him to work even harder in those swing states whose electoral votes he needed to win...states Hillary ignored because she assumed she was a shoe-in...no need to waste time campaigning in those states she was told.
Bad political advice given coupled with sheer stupidity fueled on by arrogance and narcissism alone cost Hillary the presidency and thus denied a very angry Obama his third term in office. And know payback for that had to be not only the proverbial bitch slap, but it had to be payback with no prisoners taken.
And so Obama's hoped for political take-down of now President Trump began in earnest, beginning even before Trump was sworn in, and it began while Obama laid low by traveling the world doing God only knows what. And this so-called 'resistance movement' was then and continues to be now brutal in its applications, and shows no sign of abating as it moves ever forward in its allowing a simple federal investigation to morph into an outright witch hunt into everything Trump. And Obama did not have to lift a finger to make it all happen for his lack of serious actions when he was first informed of the Russian hacking not only helped him construct his revenge but set his quest for that revenge in motion.
And it also shows his U.N. New World Order puppet masters that he is trying...that he is begging...for the chance to make-up for what amounts to basically screwing the ones he dare not screw as they hold the key to his securing the coveted U.N. Secretary General position...a position that would allow him to push forward the islamic agenda he truly adheres to.
Simply stated, all this Russian nonsense does indeed lie at Obama's feet for he is the one who obstructed justice with his silence...he is the one who concocted the whole Trump/Russia/collusion scandal out of his quest for revenge...and he is the one who not only needs to be but must called to task for it. Only then can this Russian nonsense stop...not just because it's nonsense...but because this nonsense is a waste of our taxpayer dollars for as per the words of AG Loretta Lynch herself who said that "no technical interference occurred on election night and any vote counting irregularities that could have impacted the election would have been detected" and as per DHS and intelligence officials "no increased level of malicious cyberactivity aimed at disrupting our electoral process was found on Election Day," now putting the game into check.
So it's time to move on folks and get back to focusing on the true issues facing us all...as in the economy, jobs, health care, islamic terrorism, the list goes on and on. And the only thing we need to concern ourselves with regarding the Russia nonsense is seeing Barack HUSSEIN Obama being measured for an orange jumpsuit for his being ground zero of this whole sorted mess...checkmate... game over.

Those are a lot of questions.
I've seen Shatner walk backwards AND talk at the same time!
Can Shatner walk backwards, should he choose to do so? Does he have leprosy on his balls? Can he waltz with bears? Leap tall buildings with a single bound? Is he more powerful than a locomotive? A car? A tricycle?
It's not that emus can't walk backwards, they just don't choose to.
Also, Shatner did not choose to drop in for post 10,500. Same basic principle.
I don't think that I'd like leprosy on my balls.
No leprosy on my track ball either. Thank goodness--I have enough other stuff to keep me busy, I don't need to be sending my track ball to Hawaii.
Mare's milk is used to make kvass, as Amos knows all too well.
Camel milk will curdle. It is slower to curdle then most other dairy animal milk - but it does curdle.
I, myself, use a track ball both at work and at home, for work and for play, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer.
Take that yak and stick it in your butter churn.
Sir, at Case Western Reserve University we were taught not to "P" on our hands.
I have never seen a mouse-pad with monkey-foot syndrome, no matter how depressed it was. Mostly they keep on rolling, at least until they get too oily, or covered with office lint. Solipcism, now, that's a different story altogether.
Oh yes the monkeys. The monkeys have their fair share of mouse-foot pad syphillis. This I know to be a fact because it has come into my head and anything that just pops into my head is basically my fact. It doesn't mean it has to be anyone elses fact but certainly it must be mine.
oh -- yerah! Sure you didn't know!
BTW- Did you wash you hands after you went to 'P'?
Are you talking about the historical "disease" called leprosy, or Hansen's Disease? Mycobacterium leprae, according to the CDC, has not been grown in media but has been grown in mouse foot pads. And if you are talking about Hansen's Disease, do you mean the paucibacillary multibacillary type?
Historically, "leprosy" could have been any of several diseases, including tertiary syphillis.
What is obvious, however, is to be careful with mouse foot pads. Mouse pads, however, can generally just be wiped clean.

The story of an eccentric man, living his life by his own rules and the havoc that he plays in the lives of other people, who cannot seem to disentangle themselves from him. Bunderlin may be a criminal, a murderer even, but Martin isn't sure... Bunderlin, Bundy, Bird, The Big Man—even his name becomes wordplay. An irresistible force in the lives of the people he decides will be his friends. Bunderlin is infuriating, charming and often plain rude. He enters Martin's life in a sinister way—Martin is being followed, he receives photographs anonymously, he is suddenly thrown from his comfortable life in academia into the social world of hookers, petty criminals and even murderers. But could Bunderlin, a man obsessed with kindness to animals, in fact be a murderer himself? Idiosyncratic use of language is a hallmark of Bunderlin's character, and also of this book; a novel that is a delightful and absorbing read. Robert Crompton has constructed a story full of characters who defy stereotype and worm their way into your affections.

The chance to be a member of royalty for the year has proven as popular as ever with a very high standard being set by all of the entrants for this year's Astwood Bank Carnival Royalty. Although the highlight for all of the members of the Carnival Royal family will be Carnival day on Saturday 14thJuly, there are a number of other events that they will be attending in their official capacity as carnival Royalty such as a Bollywood Night, a Strawberries and Cream event and a Barn Dance.
This year's Astwood Bank Carnival Queen will be Sophia Cottam aged 12, with Cassia Horner aged 10 being Princess. Alex Lightfoot, aged 8, will be Carnival Prince, whilst Imogen Masters-Palmer, aged 8, is appointed Rosebud.
Rather than an interview for the members of Carnival Royalty the selection team continued with last year's successful approach of holding a talent show. This icebreaker then allowed the team to conduct a much more informal chat to help them chose this year's winners. The team were presented with a wide variety of skills ranging across singing, dancing, reading original poetry, and even being given an introduction to gaming!
The Royalty will be leading the procession of floats, walking groups, marching bands and even the odd steam traction engine on Carnival Day. Starting from SE Davis in Edgioake Lane at 12:00 and winding its way around the streets of Astwood Bank it will return to the Carnival field at 14:00, where shortly after the Carnival Royalty will officially be crowned. They will then get the opportunity to enjoy all of the traditional summer fete activities being put on.
Vicky Johnson who led the royalty appointment team commented: "I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time and care to apply to become a member of our royal family. I'm only sorry we can't crown them all. It is always a great pleasure to let the lucky applicants know when they have been successful and see the smiles and pride on their parents' faces."

The artists in this exhibition live and work in Glasgow. They all consider painting to be central to their practice. Although there are some common concerns within the group there is no single unifying aspect to their work, or 'theme' to the exhibition. Each artist is unique, 'making their own rules' through painting. GoMA has worked closely with the artists, selecting the works, discussing the ideas and generating the texts associated with the show. This is the first group show of Glasgow-based painters at GoMA and rather than a comprehensive survey it is a focused selection, bringing out some of the complexity, subtlety and variety of this art form. Neil Clements Michael Fullerton Lotte Gertz Charlie Hammond Louise Hopkins Merlin James Andrew Kerr Victoria Morton Carol Rhodes Tony Swain Hanneline Visnes George Ziffo.
For this exhibition I contributed with The work "All In Coagulating Colour" it consists of 8 oddly shaped wood panel, oil paintings, ranging in size between 20x30 cm and 40x50cm . Each panel is an individual painting of detailed patterns overlapping each other, and shifting bright colours. The panels are placed together in a formation, by doing so I was seeking to intensify the colours and the patterns by playing them against each other. The overall impression of this work is as if it is one large painting, by placing the small paintings together in a shape I wanted to explore the possibilities of combining the bombast and authority of a large painting, whilst retaining the intensity and intimacy of a small paintings. My paintings are usually small scale, falling outside the tradition of large scale "Macho" paintings – in this work I was seeking to explore the possibilities working larger holds whilst retaining the usual small scale of my motifs and marks.

Q: SQL Server : return only the first instance of a field value I'm using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, writing in a query window.
We know we can get all manner of datasets returned using SQL queries, but they are always returned as entire rows.
Is it possible to return only the first value of a field, along with the rest of the fields in the row?
Here is what I get returned in a very simple query, and what I would like to get returned. The desired output is destined to go on a Firefly webpage.

SELECT
    IIF(ID = LAG(ID) OVER (ORDER BY ID), '', CAST(ID AS VARCHAR(50))) AS NID,

OVO, officially a product of PT Visionet Internasional, is a digital payment service based in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was established in 2017 with an e-money license from Bank Indonesia and in 2019 was Indonesia's top digital payment service. Owned by Grab and local investors, in 2019, OVO became Indonesia's first finance-tech business unicorn.

History
OVO was founded by Lippo Group and received permission to operate as a fintech company throughout Indonesia on 25 September 2017 with an e-money license for Bank Indonesia. OVO is a product of PT Visionet International, which is the digital financial services subsidiary of the Lippo Group.  OVO debuted a digital wallet in September of 2017. In December 2017, it was announced  that Tokyo Century Corporation had invested US$116 million for a 20% stake in the startup. OVO added new financial services in 2018 and Grab invested in the company.

In March 2019, Indonesian e-commerce company Tokopedia invested in OVO. That month, OVO's value was estimated at US$2.9 billion by CB Insights. In October 2019, the Minister of Communications and Information Rudiantara announced that OVO had become the fifth official Indonesian unicorn after Gojek, Traveloka, Bukalapak and Tokopedia. OVO was also recognized as Indonesia's first finance-tech business unicorn. PT Visionet International shareholders appointed Karaniya Dharmasaputra as president director of the company in 2019, replacing Andrian Suherman, who had led OVO for three years. In 2021, Grab increased its stake in OVO to 79.5%, acquiring Tokopedia and Lippo Group's shares together with a number of local investors.

In October of 2021, Grab bought out Tokopedia and raised its stake in OVO to 90% in the process, also buying stakes from Lippo Group. Dyak NK Makhijani became President Commissioner at PT Visionet Internasional in August of 2022, after Mirza Adityaswara left the OVO board of commissioners. At that time, 90% of OVO  was owned by Grab.

Products and services

OVO's core business is digital payment based on its e-money license. According to a 2021 report by research company Kadence International, at the time OVO was the leading e-money / digital wallet in Indonesia for both online and offline transactions.

Also involved in financial services, OVO offers lending services through Taralite (PT Indonusa Nusa Sejahtera), a P2P lending company that it acquired in 2019, as well as investment products under OVO | Invest and insurance products under OVO | Proteksi in collaboration with partners.

Catalans were in control at half-time thanks to tries from Benjamin Jullien and David Mead plus seven points from the boot of Tony Gigot.
The Dragons appeared to move out of sight early in the second half when Benjamin Garcia crossed.
Gigot's fifth goal from a penalty just after Dan Sarginson's try made it 23-4 but Wigan scored 28 unanswered points through tries from Oliver Gildart, Joe Burgess, Liam Farrell, Sam Tomkins and Tony Clubb to record a stunning victory.

Wigan coach Shaun Wane said: "Very, very proud of that performance in the second half. We gave ourselves a lot to do but we turned up in the second half with some great performances.
"We found a way to win. I am the ultimate optimist, especially with this team, and I never doubted them.
"It was a shockingly bad half time but we spoke really honestly with each other and they took it to heart and went out there and performed the way they did."
Catalans Dragons head coach Steve McNamara said: "I thought we were outstanding for 50 minutes, played exceptionally well against a very good team and then made some ridiculous decisions with the ball, and ultimately couldn't get the momentum back. They're pretty distraught down there (in the changing rooms).
"I thought we were incredible and we looked like a very good team. I feel like we're starting to come together as a team. That start showed us how we can play both in attack and defence against a very good team."

Q: Classifying and Efficiently Generating Graphs for Juggling Patterns Short Version:

*

*Is there a way to uniquely specify the set of graphs that can represent juggling patterns of length $n$ (or of any length less than $n$, if that's easier)? A necessary condition (but not sufficient, see the addendum) is that the graphs have a closed walk of length $n$ that visits every vertex and uses every edge at least once. See my other question here for more on counting these "walk covers". These graphs must be directed, connected, bridgeless, and have at most $n$ edges, but these conditions alone are not nearly sufficient.

*Independent of whether one can uniquely specify these graphs, is there an efficient way to generate them? I wrote some Mathematica code using the nauty suite, specifically the geng, directg, and pickg tools from the gtools package, but it generates many invalid graphs, so I've been forced to filter out the ones that don't have walk covers of length $n$, which is rather slow.
Long Version:
Apologies in advance for any misuse of terminology. I am a physics grad student who only recently became interested in this topic.
I've been investigating juggling patterns, which can be related to closed walks in a directed bridgeless non-simple graph known as the juggling state graph, where the vertices represent various arrangements of the balls in the air, and the edges represent throws that connect these states. This graph is "minimally" non-simple, as it only has one self-loop, connecting the so-called "ground state" to itself. For more on the juggling state graph, see here.
A prime juggling pattern is one that does not repeat any states and thus cannot be "factored" into smaller sequences. These patterns therefore correspond to loops in the juggling state graph, where the walk in the graph corresponding to the juggling pattern traverses the loop only once. A composite juggling pattern can be factored into smaller prime patterns. The subgraphs corresponding to composite patterns can take a variety of shapes. For example, here are the possible subgraphs that can represent composite juggling patterns of length $n=4$:

And here are the subgraphs for composite juggling patterns of length $n=5$:

Note that the number of edges need not equal $n$, as repeating edges is allowed. More (up to $n = 8$) can be seen here.
My first question is, is there a way to specify these graphs with some terminology from graph theory? The answer might just be "the set of all graphs with a nonzero number of walk covers of length $n$," but I'm hoping there's a smarter way to get at the same list. There's definitely some combinatorial way to look at this, since each graph corresponds to a partition of $n$, but it's not a one-to-one mapping. (For example, the second, fifth, and sixth graphs for $n=5$ above all correspond to the partition 6 = 1 + 2 + 2).
Whether or not one can succinctly identify these graphs, I would also like to find a better way to generate them. I have very limited knowledge of the IGraph/M Mathematica package, as well as the gtools package of the nauty suite, and I put together something that seems to work, but is rather slow for large $n$.
Here's a detailed explanation of my process. The various gtools programs don't seem to be able to generate non-simple graphs, so I have to manually add a self-loop to every vertex of every graph at the end. They also don't seem to be able to generate directed graphs from scratch, so I have to make undirected graphs to serve as the skeletons for the directed graphs.
For juggling patterns of length $n$, I first generate the undirected skeletons. These are all the connected undirected graphs with $V$ vertices and $E$ edges, with $2 \leq V \leq n-1$ and $1 \leq E < k$, where $k = \text{min}(2V,n)$. This can be done by repeated using the geng script, iterating over $V$. For example, here are the skeletons for $n = 5$:

The fourth, fifth, and sixth won't actually end up forming any valid subgraphs for $n = 5$, but I don't know how to filter these out with geng. I then pipe this output into the directg program, which takes the skeletons and orients their edges in all possible ways. This produces many graphs (81, 590, and 4400 for $n=5$, 6, and 7), even after I limit the edge number to $\text{min}(2V,n)$. The vast majority of these graphs are not strongly connected, i.e., they have at least one vertex that has in-degree or out-degree equal to zero, and thus are invalid. I can filter these out with the pickg program, but it would presumably be faster if I could stop directg from generating them in the first place.
I then add a self-loop to every vertex, removing any isomorphic graphs in the process. This is one of the slower parts of the code, though unless I'm mistaken about the inability of gtools to produce non-simple graphs, there's probably not a better way to do it.
I now have a set of strongly connected directed graphs with the right number of edges and vertices to potentially represent a juggling pattern of length $n$. But as it turns out, as $n$ increases, the fraction of the graphs that actually do so becomes quite small (54/243, 170/1109, and 496/5605 for $n=7$, 8, and 9). Some of the invalid graphs are obvious, such as a single $k$-cycle where $k$ is not a factor of $n$, but many are not. For example, here are some of the invalid graphs for $n=5$:

Extracting these relatively few valid graphs is also quite slow, as I have to test each graph to see if it has a walk cover of length $n$. My code for this test is pretty fast (thanks to user Onir's solution to my previous question here), but when it's applied to thousands of graphs with many edges, it slows things down a lot, even if it's mostly outputting zeros.
Thus my second question is, is there a way to filter out these invalid graphs without just testing to see if they have the right number of walk covers, possibly getting the gtools package to not generate them in the first place?
Addendum:
It turns out that requiring the number of walk covers of the subgraph of length $n$ to be non-zero is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee the existence of a juggling pattern for that subgraph, as the subgraph must actually appear inside the juggling state graph. For example, it turns out that all the two-cycles in a juggling state graph form a "chain" connected to the ground state. Thus graphs like the following won't actually ever appear in a juggling state graph:

There are others that don't ever show up, but exactly why isn't as clear. For example:

Presumably the three-cycles in a juggling state graph are also always arranged in a particular way to exclude these subgraphs.
I didn't want to bring this up in the main question, since it relies on the actual structure of the juggling state graph, and focusing on just finding graphs with non-zero walks seemed more manageable. But it is worth noting that this is not strictly sufficient.

Global Estimates of the Value of Ecosystems and Their Services in Monetary Units
* Article: Global estimates of the value of ecosystems and their services in monetary units. By Rudolf de Groot, Luke Brander, Sander van der Ploe et al. Ecosystem Services, Volume 1, Issue 1, July 2012, Pages 50-61
URL = http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212041612000101
Robert Constanza et al.:
"This paper gives an overview of the value of ecosystem services of 10 main biomes expressed in monetary units. In total, over 320 publications were screened covering over 300 case study locations. Approximately 1350 value estimates were coded and stored in a searchable Ecosystem Service Value Database (ESVD). A selection of 665 value estimates was used for the analysis.
Acknowledging the uncertainties and contextual nature of any valuation, the analysis shows that the total value of ecosystem services is considerable and ranges between 490 int$/year for the total bundle of ecosystem services that can potentially be provided by an 'average' hectare of open oceans to almost 350,000 int$/year for the potential services of an 'average' hectare of coral reefs.
More importantly, our results show that most of this value is outside the market and best considered as non-tradable public benefits. The continued over-exploitation of ecosystems thus comes at the expense of the livelihood of the poor and future generations. Given that many of the positive externalities of ecosystems are lost or strongly reduced after land use conversion better accounting for the public goods and services provided by ecosystems is crucial to improve decision making and institutions for biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem management.
► We screened over 300 case studies on the monetary value of ecosystem services.
► The average value (market and non-market) of 10 main ecosystem types was calculated.
► The total value ranged between 490 (Open Ocean) and 350,000 (Coral Reefs) Int$/ha/yr.
► Most of the monetary value of ecosystem services is not captured in markets."
REBECCA J. ROSEN:
"Back in 1997, ecologist Robert Constanza and a team of researchers set out to quantify a seemingly unquantifiable abundance: the value, in dollars, of the world's ecosystems.
But first they needed a good, concrete list of what exactly it was the ecosystems provide. They came up with 17 discrete categories, which they labeled "ecosystem services," although some are technically goods. There were the obvious things, like food (game, fish, nuts, and so on) and raw materials (timber, fuel, etc.). But there were also more subtle effects, such as how wetlands protect some coastal areas from the battering of storms or how forests convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Cultural and recreational uses also made the list.
And so what's the value of all that? Or, as the authors framed it, how much would we have to pay to recreate those services if for some reason they didn't occur naturally? Fifteen years ago, they estimated that cost to be around $33 trillion ($48.7 trillion in today's dollars)—more than the GDP of the entire globe at the time.
Now Constanza has returned to this project and, in a new paper co-authored with many of his original collaborators, he concludes that that 1997 estimate fell quite short. Armed with data from a massive international survey of ecosystems and their relationships with human well-being in communities around the world, Constanza and his team now say that ecosystems are worth way, way more than they had thought: $142.7 trillion.
As Carl Zimmer explains in the New York Times, much of the increase comes from a better understanding of just how valuable some of these ecological services are. "Coral reefs, for instance, have proved to be much more important for storm protection than previously recognized," he writes. "They also protect against soil erosion by weakening waves before they reach land. As a result, Dr. Costanza and his colleagues now consider the services provided by coral reefs to be 42 times more valuable than they did in 1997. They estimate that each acre of reef provides $995,000 in services each year for a total of $11 trillion worldwide."
But, unfortunately, Constanza's update was necessitated not only by improved data, but because the size of our ecological resources has diminished so greatly over the past decade and a half." (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/06/how-much-are-the-worlds-ecosystems-worth/372862/)

What Are Considerations To Keep In Mind While Buying A Fully –Automatic Washing Machine?
Possibly, the initial and leading vital feature that you require considering whilst purchasing a fully-automatic washing machine, is the loading capacity that it offers. The number of family members in the house helps in choosing which loading capacity you need to go for. With 1-2 members a 5Kg washer will be sufficient, 3-4 member household needs to buy a 6 or 7Kg washing machine, and the family having more than 5 members must go for the loading capacity of 8Kg or above.
In case you don't have a lavish budget, then a top loader is surely going to be a nice option. A wide variety of models are obtainable within the price range of 7-17,000 rupees. The benefits of a top-loading washing machine are that you will be able to put in more clothes while the clothes are being washed. These washers are pretty user-friendly in case you come across problems while bending and putting clothes in the tub.
Apart from that, these washing machines are pretty budget friendly as well. Talking about the disadvantages, the top-load washing machines splurge a whole lot of power, water, and don't clean as effectively as a front loading washing machine would. These also provide fewer features as well as washing programs as compared to its counterpart.
The front loading washing machines, on the other hand, are pretty expensive yet very efficient. These washers consume very less amount of power, water, and wash the garments even better. They further comprise of many features together with several washing programs. You must have perceived from somewhere that a foremost down point of using the front-load washers is the fact that you might not be able to add more clothes amid a washing cycle. However, the producers such as Samsung, Bosch, and IFB have certainly done some work and made it possible with their innovative technology.
Therefore, to conclude, in case you possess a larger household, or if your children come home with stubborn stains on their clothes, or want to conserve both electricity and water, then you must choose a front loader without a doubt. On the other hand, if you are single or have 2-3 members in your family, and in case your garments aren't that tough to clean, then a top-load budget washer is going to perform decently for you.

Angie Elisabeth Brooks rose from a humble poor life to global prominence after studying law in the United States and England. She had an excellent career as a jurist, a professor of law and then the first woman to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia. Her excellent character and hard work earned her an opportunity to also contribute to Liberia's foreign policy. She served as Assistant Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and subsequently as Liberia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Angie Brooks continued her diligence and excellent performance in championing Liberia's agenda for decolonization of the continent of Africa. Her primary concerns were about "non-self-governing territories" and "trusteeship territories" on the continent. She worked tirelessly and extensively in this endeavor and as a result of her commitment, she became Chairperson of the Fourth Committee and President of the Trusteeship Council, where she worked assiduously to propagate the message of eliminating all forms of colonialism in Africa.
She is most famous for becoming the second woman and the first and only African Woman till date to serve as President of the United Nations General Assembly in 1969, a position she served with diligence and contributed enormously to the United Nations' drive of maintaining world peace and security. Even though she had inherited numerous challenges including South Africa's occupancy of South-West Africa (which later became Namibia) and South Africa's apartheid policy – two major and interrelated conflict-causing situations. This is one of the many results she achieved under her leadership within the council.
Angie Brooks was however, no stranger to these situations that posed a threat to the existence of the World body, as Liberia, which she represented had instituted proceedings along with Ethiopia to the ICJ against the Union of South Africa, arguing that South Africa's continued presence in South-West Africa (Namibia) was contrary to the UN Charter and violated the right of the people of South-West Africa to self-determination. The General Assembly endorsed this move and although Liberia and Ethiopia's case was dismissed on grounds of lacking 'locus standi' (not a proper party), the struggle against South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia continued with the involvement of the UN General Assembly, then dominated by Third World countries, including African countries that had attained their independence in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Several Resolutions against South African's occupancy were passed including 2145 (XXI), in 1866[i] giving the UN authority to administer the territory. Under this authority, the territory's name was changed from South-West Africa to Namibia on June 12, 1968, as proposed by the black Namibian liberation movement called SWAPO. Resolution 269 was also adopted by the Security Council in 1969 calling for the withdrawal of South Africa administration from Namibia, stating that 'its continued occupation constitutes an aggressive encroachment on the authority of the United Nations, a violation of the territorial integrity and a denial of the political sovereignty of the people of Namibia'.
By the time Angie Brooks had taken office as President of the General Assembly in 1970, other resolutions such as 276 and 283 were adopted, reaffirming the Council's position. The Council also adopted Resolution 284 requesting an advisory opinion of the ICJ on the legal consequences of South Africa's continued presence in Namibia[ii] and in 1971 the ICJ ruled that South Africa's continued administration in Namibia was illegal as it violated the UN Charter and other relevant rules and principles of international law. The extension of its apartheid policy to Namibia was also found to be a flagrant violation of the purposes and principles of the UN Charter[iii]
Angie Brooks was very instrumental in all of these processes that eventually led to the independence of the Republic of Namibia. She has been a true trailblazer and a continental pace-setter.
