This is how South Africa looks like in the eyes of the foreign investor. To increase overseas funding to South African startups and corporations, the South African economy as a whole needs to improve by at least a few notches. With its natural resources, immense size, and entrepreneurial spirit – it is definitely possible.
The 2010s have been a volatile decade for the South African economy. It started with a sharp but short recession triggered by the global financial crisis, was followed by a mini-commodities boom, and then a crash in the prices of gold, platinum, and iron ore, three of South Africa's biggest exports (in correlation with a sharp decline of 50% in the Rand to USD rate).
Where are we now, and what lies ahead? These issues will be addressed, but first, let's take a look at the South African economy as it exists today.
According to data released in 2016, the top destinations for South African exports are China ($18.6-billion), the UK ($10-billion), and the US ($7.5-billion). South Africa imports the most goods from China ($13.9-billion), Germany ($6.9-billion), and the US ($5.1-billion).
What does South Africa ship to its trading partners? This nation's biggest exports are gold ($20.7-billion), diamonds ($10.9-billion), and platinum ($8.5-billion). As for what it buys from other countries, South Africa largest imports are oil ($6.5-billion), gold ($4.3-billion), and vehicles ($3.5-billion).
While the commodities crash — which saw drops between 33-50% in the price of metals like gold, platinum, and iron ore — is the most significant factor behind the sluggish performance of the South African economy, the Gupta affair was the one that got the most press.
Easily the biggest political scandal in South African history, it was revealed in 2016 that the Guptas — a trio of Indian billionaire brothers — had used their fortune to influence the inner workings of the South African government.
As of February 2018, the Gupta brothers fled South Africa, allowing their businesses, involved in everything from mining to media, to fall into receivership. In the same month, President Jacob Zuma resigned in disgrace, much to the relief of an entire nation.
The appointment of new President Cyril Ramaphosa hasn't made matters any better. Not long after being sworn in, he pushed a plan that would allow for the expropriation of land from white farmers. A flood of farms quickly hit the market, forcing many to walk away from their properties.
This proposal is thought to have been a major factor behind the steep 29% plunge in agricultural economic output in Q2 2018. It has also created a chilly investment environment in agribusiness, as firms are uncertain what land seizures would mean for them.
Manufacturing has suffered as well. The textile industry is a prime example — over the past 20 years, a flood of cheap imports from markets like China has caused the sector to shed two-thirds of its jobs. These losses and others have swelled the ranks of the unemployed, with the jobless rate sitting just below 27%, according to the most recent data from Statistics South Africa.
The first two quarters of 2018 saw back-to-back quarters of contraction, causing South Africa to lapse into a recession for the first time since the global financial crisis. While Q3 2018 saw a return to growth (2.3%), questions remain concerning the stability of the South African economy.
Room for growth in SA exports?
Despite the decline in demand (and the price) of minerals like gold and iron ore, demand for diamonds continues to strengthen globally. According to management consulting firm Bain & Company, world demand for diamonds is expected to grow 1% to 4% through 2030. Yet, the same firm expects global diamond production to peak starting in 2019.
What this means: heading into the 2020s, higher spot prices for diamonds means higher profits for producers, which will fund exploration and potentially, the establishment of new mines.
Agriculture is another major opportunity for South Africa. The world's population continues to increase — we'll need to feed almost 10 billion mouths by 2050. This will create opportunity for farmers and agribusiness operations, especially as climate change applies pressure to farms already in existence.
The major obstacle to that, of course, is President Cyril Ramaphosa's land seizure scheme. Done in a bid to redress imbalances in black ownership of farmland, it has instead led to the emigration of experienced farmers, and it has created an icy agribusiness investment environment.
The immediate abandonment of this disastrous proposal is a must if South Africa hopes to be a participant in the coming global agriculture boom.
Can SA overcome its economic problems?
Other nations have found themselves in positions similar to the one faced by South Africa. By benchmarking how they moved from weakness to strength, this nation can revive their moribund economy.
One of South Africa's biggest roadblocks on the road to economic prosperity — corruption. Emulating Singapore's example — presently one of the world's least corrupt nations — is a good place to start.
This tiny country's story is no fluke – even today, squeaky clean Singapore is surrounded by nations that rank as highly corrupt.
They diverged from their peers starting in 1952 with the establishment of the CPIB, or the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau. While they were stymied by inadequate laws in the beginning, the election of the People's Action Party in 1959 gave this outfit teeth.
From that year on, compromised officials were jailed, terminated, or pressured into resigning. Their legacy 65 years on: a society where people and business interests alike have confidence in the government and the country as a whole.
Rampant inequality also plays a major role in South Africa's economic woes. Black South Africans make far less than the white minority, despite the fact they make up 67% of the population. In an attempt to narrow this gap, President Cyril Ramaphosa has proposed seizing farms from some white owners and giving them to black farmers.
As we already know, this has had the opposite intended effect – agriculture production went sharply lower in the first two quarters of 2018, and was a major factor behind the brief recession earlier this year.
Instead, South Africa should study how South Korea became one of the wealthiest nations in Asia. In 1960, this East Asian nation had a per capita GDP of $79 — worse than some sub-Saharan nations.
By investing heavily into education and building up an export-oriented manufacturing economy, it overcame its poverty in natural resources to become one of the world's top workhorses.
During their rise to prominence, South Korea also took steps to make starting and running a business easier. Today, South Korea ranks fourth in the world for the ease of doing business according to a 2018 survey by the World Bank.
Now, it is true that South Africa is already an industrialized country. However, too much of its economy currently focuses on resource extraction. By developing industries attuned to the needs of the world, they can diversify their economy, which in turn will reduce their susceptibility to commodity shocks.
There are many ways South Africa could do this. For instance, the world is in need of green infrastructure. By taking its iron ore and refining some of it, they could churn out parts for wind turbines and the structural bodies for solar arrays at a cheaper price than many developed nations.
With an entire continent to sell to, they could lead Africa in a worldwide transition to a decarbonized economy, and attract all the money from overseas that has been flowing elsewhere over the past decade.
It would be reasonable to say that once that South Africa improves its state of economy and shows stability money will be flowing into the country from each direction.
The past 10 years showed a tremendous increase in venture capital investments and Chinese and American money (mostly) is flowing to each corner of the green earth while South Africa stays behind to a large extent. It's about time for that to change.
Additionally to the above, once the economy stabilizes, there will be a lot of South African money flowing back to the country. With more than 500 000 South Africans in diaspora, the transfer of money from abroad back to South Africa can have a significant impact on the economy.
But before that happens, there needs to be political stability to a degree that a South African residing in Europe or the US will be tempted to go back home to make a living and nurture his family.

A year after the five-day war between Russia and Georgia transformed the region's geopolitical landscape, reports coming out of South Ossetia, the breakaway republic that Russia later recognised, are eerily similar.
News of shelling, artillery fire, and aggression on both sides are stoking tensions amid fears of a new conflict, even as Russia increases its efforts to rebuild Tskhinval, the Ossetian capital that Georgia attacked on August 7, 2008.
The war of words, meanwhile, is far from over - with Twitter, LiveJournal, and Facebook all suffering reported hack attacks late last week, apparently linked to the conflict.
President Dmitry Medvedev travelled to Vladikavkaz, across the border in North Ossetia, on the August 8 anniversary, and said that Russia would not reverse its recognition of South Ossetian and Abkhazian independence.
Addressing the 58th Army, Medvedev thanked veterans of last year's war and said that those in Georgia who issued "criminal orders" to attack Tskhinval would be "punished".
Medvedev also sent a telegram to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, saying that Saakashvili's actions "remain a cause for serious concern" and calling for "binding agreements on the non-use of force between Georgia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia."
He urged the French president to help halt military aid to Georgia.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who last year called Georgia's actions in South Ossetia "genocide," was even more pointed in his assessment of Saakashvili's actions. Putin told journalists in Sochi the Georgian regime could not be trusted.
"I personally urged them to be more patient, to garner trust and authority in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. What were their answers? 'Yes, yes, we understand, and we will do that.' What did they do in practice? The exact opposite."
Georgian officials presented a report last week that reiterated Tbilisi's claim that Russian military convoys entered South Ossetia on Aug. 7. The report cited evidence presented to an EU commission that South Ossetia was preparing for military action in advance by evacuating officials and civilians.
"The most important conclusion of the report is seeing the attempts of the Russian Federation to undermine the Georgian state by using separatists and separatism as a tool," The Associated Press quoted Georgian minister Temur Yakobashvili as saying in presenting the report.
Meanwhile, South Ossetia's president, Eduard Kokoity, dismissed his Cabinet last week and appointed a Russian construction mogul as prime minister, in an apparent signal that the authorities were struggling to make headway in reconstruction efforts. On a recent visit to South Ossetia, Medvedev criticised reconstruction efforts as slow and ineffectual. Russia pledged $620 million in reconstruction aid, but critics of Kokoity say that as much as half of that money has been lost.
The appointment of Vadim Brovtsev as prime minister was seen as a direct result of Medvedev's visit. The previous prime minister, Aslanbek Bulavtsev, was officially dismissed for health reasons, but according to sources in the South Ossetian government cited by Kommersant, he was removed because of numerous conflicts with Kokoity.
South Ossetian officials stressed their republic's reliance on Russian aid. "Without Russian aid, it would have been very difficult for South Ossetia to normalise," Dmitry Medoyev, the republic's ambassador to Russia, said.
Asked about Medvedev's criticism, Medoyev said that shortcomings were inevitable given the level of damage. "The situation is such that we cannot name a certain date by which everything will be rebuilt. ... [It] will take several years. ... Sometimes there are problems, like not enough construction materials, or contractors not fulfilling their obligations."
While both the South Ossetians and Georgian reported attacks in the days leading up to the anniversary, none were independently verified.
South Ossetia's press ministry reported artillery fire in the village of Plavi on Aug. 4, while Georgia's Interior Ministry said its border post in the Gori district had likewise been shot at, RIA Novosti reported.
Russia's Defence Ministry said Tskhinval had come under grenade and mortar attacks several times since July 29, but Georgia's Defense Ministry has denied these allegations.
Anatoly Nogovitsin, the deputy chief of Russia's General Staff, said that shipments of arms to Georgia were a sign that the country might be preparing for another military attack. US Assistant Secretary of Defence Alexander Vershbow has denied claims that the US was supplying Georgia with arms, but the Russian Foreign Ministry insists that Georgia is still receiving US military aid.
Russian officials differed, meanwhile, on the threat of a new conflict.
"The situation really is tense," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Andrei Nesterenko said in a statement on August 3. "The provocations of the Georgians ahead of the anniversary are continuous."
Nogovitsin, meanwhile, dismissed Georgia's military capability. "Currently Georgia isn't capable of putting together an armed force like last year in such a short period of time," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
On the Georgian side, "preventive diplomacy" has reduced the danger of new fighting flaring up this month, The AP quoted a Georgian national security official as saying.
The back-and-forth of claims and counter-claims echoes the war of words that escalated into last year's war.
The Georgian side puts its civilian casualties at 228, while 184 servicemen are said to be dead or missing. About 25,000 Georgians have been displaced from their homes in South Ossetia, Georgia says. Russia says that 162 South Ossetian civilians were killed and 255 were wounded, and 48 servicemen, including 10 peacekeepers, died in action.
A total of 5,143 South Ossetians were displaced from their homes, according to Russian government figures.
The conflict caused relations between Russia and the West to plummet to a new post-Cold War low, with military cooperation halted with NATO and the United States.
The war has also had an effect on former Soviet republics in dispute over other breakaway republics.
"We can say that a new status quo has formed in the Caucasus region" as a result of the war, said Sergei Markedonov, a regional security analyst at the Institute of Political and Military Analysis. "First of all, the old format of regulating conflict no longer exists. Second, the fact that unrecognised republics have become partially recognised seriously affects the North Caucasus and the post-Soviet space in general."

Q: Go factory method returns type interface, not the struct which implements the interface I am trying to create a factory method that returns a constructor for a struct that implements some interface.
Here is some sample code that illustrates the pattern I'm using.
// Generic Interface
type Foo interface {
    Bar() string
}

type FooConstructor func(name string) Foo

// A struct that implements Foo
type RealFoo struct {
    Name string
}

func (f *RealFoo) Bar() string {
    return f.Name
}

func NewRealFoo(name string) Foo {
    return &RealFoo{Name: name}
}

// Factory method to return some FooConstructor
func FooFactory() FooConstructor {
    // based on some logic, return some Foo constructor
    return NewRealFoo
}

func main() {
    ff := FooFactory()
    f := ff("baz")
    fmt.Println(f.Bar())
    fmt.Println(f.Name)
}

http://play.golang.org/p/0RzXlIGAs8
When I try and access a field on my struct that is not defined in the interface, I get an error:
f.Name undefined (type Foo has no field or method Name)
I believe the problem is that my constructor, func NewRealFoo(name string) Foo has the interface as the return type, instead of *RealFoo. But in order to use it as a type FooConstructor for the factory method, the return type must be the Foo interface.
How can I fix my code so that I can access the field f.Name?

A: You are actually returning the RealFoo object, but as an implementation of Foo.
To get the field of the RealFoo struct, use a type assertion:
f.(RealFoo).Name

or, to avoid panic if it's not a RealFoo:
if realFoo, ok := f.(RealFoo); ok {
    _ := realFoo.Name
}

or a switch over all or some of the possible types of Foo
switch rf := f.(type) {
case realFoo:
    _ := rf.Name // rf is a realFoo
case unrealFoo:
    _ := rf.ImaginaryName // rf is an unrealFoo
case surrealFoo:
    _ := rf.SurrealName // rf is a surrealFoo
default:
    // rf is none of the above types
}

You could also return a RealFoo from NewRealFoo, instead of a Foo, if you are willing to modify your factory constructor. It will still be valid to use anywhere a Foo is expected, since it implements that interface. That's what you are doing that in NewRealFoo, when returning a RealFoo in a function returning Foo.
func NewRealFoo(name string) RealFoo {
    return &RealFoo{Name: name}
}

Q: DB filled DropDownList in EditorTemplate I have an import page with a dynamic number of transactions. For each transactions, I have several plain text data labels and one DropDownList (Categories). I'm trying to populate this Category DropDownList with data from my ViewModel (Categories) by passing the Categories Model as additionalViewData to my EditorTemplate.
When I use the example below, I get the following error on the EditorTemplate page:
Compiler Error Message: CS0411: The type arguments for method 'System.Web.Mvc.Html.SelectExtensions.DropDownListFor(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression>, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
ViewModel:
public class ImportViewModel
{
    public List<AbnAmroTransaction> AbnAmroTransactions { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Categories { get; set; }
}

Model:
public class AbnAmroTransaction
{
    public string Currency { get; set; }
    public int DateTime { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public int CategoryId { get; set; }
}

Form:
@using (Html.BeginForm("ImportPreview", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{

    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.AbnAmroTransactions, new { Categories = Model.Categories });

    <input id="btnSave" type="submit" value="Save data" />
}

EditorTemplate:

        @Html.Raw(CurrencyHelper.GetHtmlCurrency(Model.Currency, Model.Amount))

    @Model.DateTime
    @Model.Description
    @Html.DropDownListFor(Model.CategoryId, ViewData["Categories"])

A: You could provide the categories as additionalViewData to the Editor, like
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.AbnAmroTransactions, {Categories = Model.Categories});

but be aware of the implication, that you have to do that everywhere where you use that editor.
It might be better to use Editor where you can pass the categories along with the Model expression

A: It is not too Strongly typed, but in your controller you can populate the list of categories and place it in the ViewBag. Then you can use it in every Transaction you could have, and it is stored in memory just once.
If you place the Categories collection in each Transaction in your list you can have it multiple times.

Watch: "For artists, taking risks is a necessary motivation" | 5:14
Sustained by risk
The Kauffman Foundation focuses on education, entrepreneurship, and programs that support our hometown Kansas City, so why a package of stories about the arts?
Written by Keith Mays and Julie Scheidegger
Video by Christopher Smith
For artists, risk-taking is the oxygen that sustains them, and success isn't just measured financially. #RiskOptimistic
In thinking about how to best illustrate the concept of risk-taking, it became clear that no storytelling about the topic would be complete without looking to the arts.
Artists who are successful at producing work that taps into our emotions have honed their crafts through, yes, practice, but also through trying and failing, over and over again. That's a lesson that anyone, from students to business founders can learn from.
Beyond what artists can teach us about taking risks, the Kauffman Foundation recognizes how important the arts are to the vitality of a community. Even if funding of the arts is not directly within our mission, we do support Kansas City institutions such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, where Alexandra Wilson's dance company, Störling Dance Theater, performs Underground this week. And, through our Entrepreneurship grantmaking, we've supported Artists INC, a program of the Mid-America Arts Alliance that arms artists with the pragmatic business skills any entrepreneur needs. Both Calvin Arsenia, a singer and harpist, and Kathy Liao, a painter, have benefitted from that program.
These organizations address the foundational needs of artists, while also taking risks themselves to stage productions that might not make money, or to put up shows that could stir controversy, but also public dialogue.
For artists, risk-taking is the oxygen that sustains them, and success isn't just measured financially. By pushing themselves through their own boundaries, not only does the artist get better, but so too does the art, as new styles and techniques branch off from the tree, new ideas are explored, and things are said that no-one else is brave enough to say.
In the compelling video, above, Arsenia, Liao, and Wilson help us understand how risk is a motivating force for artists. They provide insight into how it feels to make yourself as emotionally vulnerable as their arts require, but also the excitement they get from forging new territory, embarking on journeys where the destination is unknown.

Founder + Primary Attorney & Mediator - (406) 457-5494
Abby practices primarily in the area of water law, including adjudication proceedings in the Montana Water Court, enforcement proceedings in Montana district courts, and transactional water right matters. Abby is also listed a mediator with the Montana Mediation Association, offering mediation and conflict coaching services to water users, environmental and water user groups, or Montana's tribal governments who are in conflict as an alternative to litigation or in connection with potential settlement discussions for existing litigation. Abby is a certified conflict resolution facilitator as well, often partnering with other organizations to facilitate various community dialogues and stakeholder meetings.
Abby offers mediation, facilitation, and conflict coaching services for non-water right related disputes, including (but not limited to) creating or amending parenting plans, facilitating community or neighborhood disputes, and addressing business, organizational, or local government conflicts.
After moving around the southeastern United States for most of her childhood, Abby earned a B.S.Ed. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. She then served in the United States Peace Corps, living and working for two years in a rural village in Malawi, East Africa. It was in Malawi that Abby developed a deep appreciation for, and interest in, the fundamental and complex relationship between water use and a community's health and food security.
When she returned from Malawi, Abby made her way to Montana where she obtained a Master's of Arts focused on cross-cultural conflict resolution and mediation from the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. Eventually, Abby went on to earn a J.D. with honors from the University of Montana School of Law. Prior to entering private practice, Abby clerked for the Honorable Patricia O. Cotter at the Montana Supreme Court.

Traveling with wildebeest expert Dr. Richard D. Estes and fellow safarists, Sibert medalist Sy Montgomery takes readers on a staggering, emotional journey alongside the greatest land migration on earth—that of the wildebeest across the Serengeti—to provide a you-are-there account of one of nature's most fascinating occurrences. Montgomery explores the wonder of migration, asking questions like, how do migration patterns sculpt the environment? Why do animals migrate? And how do they know where to go?
With lyrical prose, abundant facts, and the inclusion of other species who undertake remarkable migrations, Montgomery makes a journey of thousands of miles fly by—but not without leaving its mark. Featuring beautiful color photography by Roger and Logan Wood.
Considered the "lungs of the world," the Amazon provides a full fifth of the world's oxygen, and every year unsustainable human practices destroy 2.7 million acres. What can be done to help? That's where Project Piaba comes in.
Join the award-winning author Sy Montgomery and the photographer Keith Ellenbogen as they traverse the river and rainforest to discover how tiny fish, called piabas, can help preserve the Amazon, its animals, and the rich legacy of its people. Amazon Adventure is an eye-opening—and ultimately hopeful—exploration of how humanity's practices are affecting and shaping not only the Amazon, but our entire environment.
Just off the coast of New England's iconic Cape Cod, great white sharks are staging a phenomenal comeback from near extinction—offering shark scientist Greg Skomal and his team an unrivaled opportunity to study these mysterious and misunderstood predators. Sy Montgomery and photographer Keith Ellenbogen come along with Greg and his team as they locate, identify, film and track great whites, often just off some of the Cape's most popular beaches.
Sy Montgomery and Keith Ellenbogen dive into the world of the octopus and take us along for the ride. They'll brave razor sharp coral, swim with blacktip reef sharks, and dodge the deadly stonefish to find out what the octopus has to teach us about our planet and ourselves. What can be learned from their amazing changeable bodies? How might their behavior reveal the health of the world's oceans? What amazing discoveries await us when we journey into the mind of the mollusk?
Since the year 1900, cheetah footprints quickly dwindled in African dirt as the species plummeted from more than 100,000 to fewer than 10,000. At the Cheetah Conservation Fund's (CCF) African headquarters in Namibia, Laurie Marker and her team save these stunning, swift, and slender creatures from extinction. Since the organization's start in 1990, they've rescued more than 900 cheetahs, most of whom have been returned to the wild.
Now with TWO Teacher's Guides!
Because of severe autism, a brain disorder that affects as many as 1 in 100 American children, Temple Grandin didn't speak a word until she was 5 years old. Even now, at age 63, she doesn't think in words—she thinks in pictures. But today, this brilliant designer and professor has become one of the most powerful spokespeople in the world—not just on behalf of others with autism, but for all the other wordless individuals on the planet: the animals, especially the 10 billion farm animals who provide Americans' milk, eggs and meat. This is her story, the first written especially for kids.
One explorer called it "the most wondrous of living birds." Extraordinarily friendly, curious, and huge, the kakapo is the world's only flightless parrot, the world's heaviest parrot, and the only parrot who is active at night instead of by day. Fewer than 90 of them remained on Earth when Sy and Nic journeyed to their only breeding ground, remote Codfish Island off new Zealand's south coast, to record the world's most dramatic effort to save an endangered bird.
Snow leopards survive in some of the most extreme habitats in the world. They live at altitudes too high for trees—sometimes in places with only half the oxygen people need to breathe easily. They thrive in temperatures cold enough to freeze human tears. Prowling along ridges, slinking below skyline, the snow leopard is as invisible, yet as powerful, as the wind, and as elusive as a ghost. Nic and Sy join Snow Leopard Trust scientist Tom McCarthy and his team in the Altai Mountains of the Gobi Desert as they try to study and save an animal they can't see—before it becomes a ghost for real.
It looks like a Dakin stuffed toy designed by Dr Seuss: Impossibly soft, with a rounded face, button eyes, pink nose, upright ears and long, thick, furry tail, the 25-pound animal hops like a kangaroo, carries babies in a pouch like a koala, and climbs trees like a monkey. The Machie's Tree Kangaroo lives in mysterious, misty cloud forests of Papua, New Guinea, where other researchers concluded the animal would be impossible to study. But Dr. Lisa Dabek of the Seattle Zoo loved them so much she just had to try—and brought Nic and Sy along with her on the quest.
Superheroes of the spider world, they're the biggest, the hairiest, and some of the most ancient spiders on Earth—and some species can live for 30 years. Sy and Nic joined tarantula expert Sam Marshall on an expedition to the Tarantula Capitol of the World—French Guiana, in South America—to search for the biggest tarantula of them all: the quarter-pound Goliath Bird-Eater Tarantula.
You hear them before you see them: the sound of 18,000 slithering snakes! The Narcisse Snake Pits in Manitoba, Canada host the largest gathering of snakes in the world. Sy and Nic accompany snake specialist Bob Mason and his team on an expedition to discover their mysteries.
In this mysterious swamp off the Bay of Bengal, tigers swim out after your boat like a dog chasing a car and leap on board and eat you. Yet the people of Sundarbans don't hunt or hurt the tigers—instead, they worship them. Why? Come along and help solve the mystery.
They seem impossible, but they're real: dolphins as pink as bubble gum really do live in the Amazon river. But they're not like other dolphins—they're a whole other kind of whale. They seem to flying like birds between the branches of the trees that are drowned by the rains of the wet season. The local people say there's an enchanted world beneath the river where the pink dolphins rule. To learn about these amazing dolphins, you'll need to talk with scientists and shamans and swim with piranhas and electric eels.
When biologist Gary Galbreath came upon a beautiful golden bear caged in a small town in tropical China, he was mystified: no bear like it had ever been described by science. He wondered about that bear for a decade. What was it? Could it be a new species? Or was it just an oddball individual? One day Sy met a man who had seen one just like it in Cambodia—and that's when she started planning a new expedition. Join Sy, Gary Galbreath, and their Cambodian colleague Sun Hean on their journeys in Southeast Asia, with hopes of discovering just what this golden bear might be.

Sri Lanka reopens southern airport under pilot program
By IANS | Bharat Defence Kavach | Publish Date: 12/28/2020 5:25:39 PM
Colombo: Sri Lanka on Monday kicked-off a pilot program to welcome tourists into the island country by re-opening a southern airport, as its international airports have remained shut since March due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Chairman of the Bandaranaike International Airport, G.A. Chandrasiri told Xinhua news agency that a group of over 200 Ukrainian tourists arrived in the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport in an effort to see the possibility of re-opening the other airports next month.
The Mattala airport is Sri Lanka's second largest international airport and also the first greenfield airport in the island nation.The program will be conducted on a trial-and-error basis and will welcome tourists under a strict travel bubble.
The tourists will be subject to PCR tests upon their arrival at the airport and will be staying in a travel bubble operated in Bentota, Koggala and Beruwela, along the country's southern coast, tourism officials said.More flights carrying tourists are expected to arrive in the coming days under the program, where tourists will be under a strict travel bubble, officials added.
Sri Lanka shut its international airports -- Batticaloa, Bandaranaike, Ratmalana, Mattala Rajapaksa, Jaffna -- in March after the first local Covid-19 case was detected in the island country to prevent a spread of the virus.Since then the airports have been opened for repatriation fights only.Currently amidst a second wave of the pandemic, Sri Lanka has reported a total of 41,054 coronavirus cases and 191 deaths.

If you're traveling along with your pet this summer and plan to fly to your destination, make sure that you become familiar with the airline's pet embargo coverage earlier than you e book your flight. Search and compare low cost flights from 1000s of airlines, travel agents and journey sites. So, "If you cannot beat 'em, join 'em!" became their unofficial motto and airways began to duplicate the excessive normal of service offered by the great ships.
Aviation corridors are split into paths referred to as 'Airways' (just like highways) which are plotted and tracked by Satellite-based mostly GPS and on board flight administration methods of aircraft. There are some weather restrictions that the airways will use.
Ebook prematurely and fly mid-week to get essentially the most aggressive fares. In January 1914, the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line became the world's first business passenger airline service. Some airways contract to purchase fuel at fastened prices, so if the price rises the airline will still pay the decrease fixed value.

Southwest by mixing this service with present routes together with Southwest's loyal customer base, the company was very soon able to build sturdy grounds in Florida.
What one pays for a flight ticket relies on three factors – what date one is going to fly on, whether you are flying to or from your private home, and which internet site one makes use of. Even if you happen to get a budget tickets from a web site by no means assume that you will all the time get flights at such lower fee.

While earning her Bachelors in English and Masters in Public Relations from Quinnipiac University, Kathleen took every opportunity that came her way to broaden her horizons.
During her study abroad semester in Cork, Ireland, she was able to put her "try anything once" attitude to good use. She spent almost every weekend traveling to some new country, where she would immerse herself in different cultures through food, drinks, hostels and free walking tours. One weekend was spent in a traditional dirndl with hundreds of foreigners in Munich drinking Oktoberfest, while another weekend was spent in Monterosso, dining at wine bars and thanking locals for their bottle suggestions, since—being the Irish lass she is—she didn't know a word of Italian past "salute".
The travel bug couldn't keep Kathleen at her picturesque private university in Hamden, CT for too long. Besides traveling back to Ireland seven more times, she also traveled to Guatemala three times, leading students in medical fieldwork and global solidarity programs and immersing herself in a culture different from her own and from any she had experienced in Europe.
Upon completing her two degrees, Kathleen found herself returning home, eager to begin her career. As a North Jersey native, she always saw herself working in New York City and is enthusiastic about exploring the world of wine with Bowler.

Charlton Invicta: How a tiny north Kent football club trailblazed for the LGBTQ+ community
Charlton Invicta, once Bexley Invicta, have made queer inclusivity the core of their football team
Charlton Invicta's display of solidarity with LBGTQ+ is a proud part of their foundation as a club (Image: Charlton Invicta)
Football as a whole has an odd relationship with the LBGTQ+ community.
From homophobic slurs being yelled at Brighton & Hove Albion games, to the lack of any openly LGBTQ+ male footballers in England's top four divisions, there's little voice for queer people in the mainstream.
But, with the help of a well known League One side, a Kent football group are trying to change that.
Read more: The real history of 2000s homophobia in Kent and the fight for LGBTQ+ equality
Enter Charlton Invicta, one of the community trust-funded offshoots of Charlton Athletic, who were a Premier League side as recently as 2007.
Set up as an explicitly LGBTQ+ inclusive side, it was the first team of its kind to be affiliated with a professional football club in the entire UK.
Set up in 2011 as Bexley Invicta, the Charlton Community Trust acquired the team in 2017, giving it an entirely new level of gravity within the grassroots game.
Bexley Invicta were well known to Charlton's community trust before the clubs began working together, explains their Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Michael Seeraj:
"We were keenly aware of the work they were doing, and their ethos fitted in with what we wanted to do as a trust and a club."

Charlton Invicta was born at a tricky moment for football, as 2017 - the year of their incorporation within the bigger Charlton family - also saw a government report on the things sports clubs in the UK needed to do better to tackle homophobia.
One of the recommendations was for big clubs to put their money where their mouth is on inclusion, and actually establish LGBTQ+ friendly teams, so Charlton did just that.
Michael continued: "We came up with a strategy whereby we'd affiliate them [Bexley Invicta] to the trust, and try to provide structured playing opportunities for LGBTQ+ people and allies.
The team have been seen in action against other LGBTQ+ sides, like Millwall Romans (Image: Charlton Invicta)
"We want people - anybody who wants to play football to come along - it's an incredible initiative."
It's not just a kick-about either - as the club provides vital chances for players who would otherwise feel, or actually be excluded from grassroots football elsewhere:
"We've got three transgender players, who can't under FA regulations play in FA-affiliated leagues - but we also play in the London Unity league where they actually get the chance to play football with the side.

What life is like in Kent when you're young and transgender
"Fundamental to Invicta is this inclusiveness - engagement with these disadvantaged communities and underrepresented groups - to provide opportunities for people who may not have opportunities to play otherwise."
LGBTQ+ solidarity in football had been tabled by groups like Rainbow Laces, a part of Stonewall, but Charlton Invicta was one of the first examples of an established, well-known team doing the work from the grassroots level.
Money, investment and commitment to equality, visibility, inclusion and solidarity are actually now being funded from the inside of the game by established clubs.

Invicta train at the same ground as Charlton's professional Ladies and Men's sides, and in 2017 had a session led by the first XI's assistant coach.
Simply put, for a big name in the English game to come out in support of a grassroots LGBTQ+ team in such a public way, was completely unprecedented when Charlton Invicta was formed.
But now, things are changing - and Invicta have got a local rival, as Michael explained:
"Millwall set up their team last year [Millwall Romans], and this is their first season, so we played a friendly against them in the context of a South London rivalry that's existed for years.
"To think the Charlton LGBTQ+ team would be playing the Millwall LGBTQ+ team a few years ago - it's such a statement on how society is moving on.
"It's a testament to the diversity, inclusion and equality - and that pride in that inclusion reflected in two rival teams."
It's not just about results, league titles or silverware, though.
Charlton Invicta are now playing in the North Kent Sunday League, and have established a second side to get even more players involved.
It's clear that this engagement with the LGBTQ+ community, or anyone who might shy away from their usual Sunday league side for whatever reason, is absolutely core to the team.
"Our players are made up of people from the LGBTQ+ community and their allies... and we [Charlton] have a long history of promoting equality and tackling discrimination," Michael explained.
A Facebook post from the club that demonstrates quite clearly this reads: "We may have won today, but the win is just a very small part of our club.
"We see the win as visible #LGBTQ+ inclusion."
The sentiment here is a powerful statement on the goals of a club who's very existence could make young, queer footballers feel more comfortable to be themselves openly.
Invicta, once unique, are now becoming trendsetters - and hopefully they and Millwall won't be the last sides to give the grassroots, queer game a helping hand.

Less than 3% of all wildland fires are due to natural causes (lightning, etc). Aside from arson, the principal cause of wildland fires is accidents or carelessness. Therefore, it is truly up to you to prevent the next wildland fire either through your own actions or that of others.

prevent, prepare for or stop fire
Links above, give concrete examples of these principles.
Any way that it can, fire will:
spread itself using any flammable material to cut a path to other flammable material
start itself through flammable material making contact with hot surfaces (conduction), using focusing of sun's rays (e.g. through glass), etc.
leap spaces with the help of other environmental factors such as wind, radiation, convection, conduction by heating up space, air currents or will use gravity to drop itself on flammable material
heat up almost any material (heat transfer) to the point of flammability or dry up liquid to make materials vulnerable
melt certain materials faster than others like plastic, rubber, synthetic cloth. Leather shoes and cotton clothes, blankets are less dangerous.
outsmart you - be constantly aware of where the fire is or might go (it can suddenly be behind you cutting off escape), fires will restart from hidden embers given the right conditions for it, avoid canyons or 'chimney' areas where hot air will rise faster increasing the speed of the fire, etc.
fire can lie dormant (smoldering) in certain conditions until the right conditions to flame are present - flammable material, oxygen, heat.
the by-products of fire (smoke, updraft) can be as deadly as the fire itself.
fire can be stopped or prevented by taking into consideration all of the above

These fires burn an average of 8,000 to 10,000 acres. People are injured or killed, buildings are destroyed, and significant damage to the forest and environment occurs. "... "In Virginia, most forest fires are the result of human actions, and can be prevented by using common sense, following fire safety rules, and obeying fire laws. The greatest number of fires occur in February, March, April and May. This period is known as Spring Fire Season. Fall Fire Season in October, November and December." Percentage of fires caused: Open Burning 30%, Arson 20%, Smokers 14%, Misc. (house, vehicle, aircraft, etc. that spread to the forest) 11%, Children 9%, Equipment Use 7%, Railroads 5%, Lightning 3%, Campfires 1%
Forest Fire Statistics and Causes This site with figures for Estonia presents an interesting picture and tells us a lot about the causes of forest fires. "The average size of a forest fire was three hectares..." "...for the last ten years, it should be noted that only approximately one percent of all the fires are caused by natural factors (lightning, etc.). The remaining 99 percent are generally related to human activities. Wildland fires are caused by the following factors: natural factors (lightning) 1 percent; arson 14 percent; agricultural operations 8 percent; logging and forestry operations 1 percent; transportation and communications (railways, electricity lines) 5 percent; general public (campers, other visitors, children) 52 percent and other causes 1 percent. Unknown causes account for 18 percent of all Forest fires."

CHARADE "CHARADE is a software prototype designed to support decision-making in forest fire management. It can be used either in a real operational context, in a simulated environment for training, or for long-term planning purposes. Its flexible architecture also means it can be adapted for use in other environmental emergency situations such as in flood or pollution prevention.
While software tools exist to address certain aspects of wildland fires, such as fire detection, territory monitoring, fire evolution forecasting etc., CHARADE is the first to provide complete support for the entire process of fire management, from alarm detection to the first intervention plan."

Wildland Situation Analysis From Selected Tools USDA Forest Service What is WFSA? Selected quotes
- "...A WFSA is not a software program or a computer model. There is no agency directive that requires the use of the existing software. A good paper document that covers the items required by each agency can suffice. WFSA is a decision analysis process."
- "...The WFSA software (WFSA Plus 03) can be a valuable tool to work through the documentation of the suppression decisions made by the Agency Administrator. Hence it can be used as a decision support tool – it does not provide answers – only those responsible for land management at and near the incident can make decisions related to strategic objectives on the management of an unfolding emergency. It allows the comparison of different alternatives and how well they meet your established objectives. Preseason work on the needed elements for a good WFSA is important – waiting "until the glow is in the sky" may be too late to get the information to help move through the preparation. "
- "...It is intended to be a dynamic process – it likely will require updates and modifications throughout the management of an incident."
- "...As the complexity of a wildland fire escalates so to should the WFSA documentation and the underlying analysis that supports the decision."

Competency-based learning design relies on performance or demonstration of the application of skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Competencies provide a good start in communicating performance expectations to your learners. They tell your learners WHAT they will be learning. But, even well written outcomes can leave room for confusion or misunderstanding about the expected performance.
Performance standards, which include both assessment strategies and criteria, provide tools for clarifying performance expectations and set the stage for performance assessment tasks. Performance assessment tasks are specific tasks or assignments designed to measured outcomes such as competencies or program outcomes. They can be measurable products or observable processes.
Teachers evaluate performance consistently, accurately, and fairly because well-develop performance criteria are defined in an assessment task's scoring rubric or checklist. When students successfully master the performance criteria for a targeted learning outcome, they have shown or demonstrated evidence of learning.
Since 1994 WIDS Software and Consulting has advocated the Big 4 -- Who is my learner? What will my learner be able to do? When will my learner know he has learned a skills, knowledge, or attitude? How will my learner learn all that is necessary? Today, faculty still ask those same simple questions. Using the WIDS Instructional Design model and tool helps answer them!

The Individual Retirement Law in Turkey has been legislated in parliament and published in the Official Gazette on May, 7th.
The system is supplemantary to the existing state pension plans.
The system is voluntary and based on defined contribution plans.
The contributions collected from the individuals are transmitted to pension funds which are established as the structure of a mutual fund.
Anybody who is able to use his civil rights can enter the system.
Only retirement companies (which have been introduced to the financial markets with this new law) can establish the pension funds. Retirement companies can be established with permission of Underscreteriat of Treasury. Retirement companies need an initial capital of 14.285.714 USD for establishment. Half of this amount should be paid in cash when the company begins to operate.
At least 3 different funds with different portfolio structures must be established. (In this way individuals will be able to choose a fund according to their personal risk and yield expectations).
Although not stated in the law clearly, both employees and employers, if any, as well as individuals can make contributions to the pension funds.
The rights of the investors are portable and accumulations can be transferred into another retirement company.
At retirement, the investors can take their accumulations as lump sum or they can withdraw the accumulations partially. They will have an option in either buying an annuity from an insurance company or leaving the money in the funds to be invested. Retirement age is 56 providing that, people make contributions to the fund for at least 10 years.
The fund is managed by portfolio management companies according to the Law, which will be authorized by Capital Markets Board.
The assets of the fund can be deposited in a custodian bank which will be approved by the Board. The custodian that is selected by the pension company and approved by the Board, can be a bank which operates in accordance with the Law on Banking.
The system is coordinated by Advisory Board. The regulations can be made by relevant institutions, Undersecreteriat of Treasury and Capital Markets Board.
The standards of legal documents related with the retirement company such as; pension contracts... etc.
The qualification requirements for the staff of the retirement companies.
Independent audit of retirement companies.
The Undersecreteriat of Treasury is at the moment working on the communiques regarding these issues.
In Table -1, the process of the retirement system is tried to be summerized graphically.

A "non – invasive" Hyperthermia method that provides all the advantages of a deep thermal increase even in cerebral tissue. The regenerative of this method is especially beneficial in restoring a younger and firmer skin, capable of maintaining the tissue activity and ensuring the presence of a young cell population, intervening positive lying their evolution mitigating the effects of aging.
Significant improvements can be noted right from the end of the first session.
Indiba provides deep heat to the affected area by transforming electrical energy to heat energy. An insulated metallic electrode transfers electrical energy resulting in heat when the cells of the tissue act as electrical resisters. The Indiba provides a kind of local fever to the deeper areas. This fever increases circulation, lymphatic activity and promotes tumor regression, along with other positive affects listed below.
A metal plate will be placed directly on the skin opposite the affected area. The therapist will then apply a generous amount of ultra- sound gel to enable the electrode to be easily moved. Then the electrode will be placed on the area and moved in circular motions. Average time is 15 minutes depending on the case.
Increase of arterial circulation vasodilatation giving rise to increased oxygenation anda decreased acidity of the tissues.
Increase of venous drainage with greater re-absorption of catabolites and decreasing of the oedema in areas with inflammatory processes.
Increase of the permeability of the cellular membrane, allowing better transfer of metabolites through it.
Speeding up of cicatrization of wounds.
Although the contraindications for the application of the hyperthermia equipment should be laid down by the corresponding specialist, there are a series of circumstances where precautions must be fully respected.
Electric and electronic implants, internal or externally connected to batteries or radio control for example: pacemakers, neuro stimulators, drug dosifiers, cochlear implants and external monitoritations.

Q: How do I check if a checkbox is checked in ASP.NET MVC? I have some checkbox that looks like this
  <%= Html.CheckBox("Remember") %>
  <%= Html.Label("Remember", "Keep me signed in for two weeks.") %>

This is in a form. So when it goes to my Action Method I just have a form Collection variable. Now I try to do
frmSign["Remember"];
So I tried to convert this right away to a Boolean and that failed. I then did .toString() and I realized that the value contained in this is

"true,false"

Is this normal? Why is it true,false? Is it now true or false?

A: You can just add a boolean parameter to your action:
public ActionResult LogIn(string username, string password, bool remember)
{
    // You have it
}

Additionally you can use RouteValues["Remember"] to obtain the ValueProviderResult.
So you you can do:
public ActionResult LogIn(string username, string password)
{
      bool remember = false;
      ValueProviderResult val;
      if (RouteValues.TryGetValue(key, out val))
          remember = (bool)val.ConvertTo(typeof(bool));
      // Now you have it
}

But I prefer the 1st option for obvious reasons.
As for the question:

Is this normal? why is it true,false? what is it now true or false?

Yes it is normal. The checkbox helper in MVC always generates hidden input with value "False". This is needed to provide False value if checkbox is not selected.
Why?
Because of according to W3.ORG the value only gets posted to server if the checkbox IS selected, otherwise it is not (so you don't know if it is True or False, eg is null).
So if you select the checkbox "true,false" comes to the server and you can safely assume the value is true.
If the checkbox is NOT selected the "false" comes to the server and you can be sure it is NOT selected.
To clarify more: the values (according to W3.ORG) with the same name are separated by comma. So it is perfectly fine to have different inputs with the same name within single form (even if the inputs are of different types: checkbox, radio, text, hidden etc).
