First completely robot-supported microsurgical operations performed
The first fully robot-supported microsurgical procedures on humans were performed by a team led by researchers Dr. Maximilian Kückelhaus and Prof. Tobias Hirsch from the Centre for Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Münster. This is a significant achievement for robotic microsurgery not just in Münster but globally in terms of medicine and science. The doctors employed a novel operating technique in which a robotic microscope is networked with a new type of operations robot created specifically for microsurgery. With this method, it is feasible to remove the operating surgeon entirely from the operating room. In conjunction with Münster University Hospital and Hornheide Specialist Clinic, robotic clinical research is carried out.
This technique has been employed by the professionals for around two months. Five procedures have been completed successfully thus far, and many more are planned. Maximilian Kückelhaus states, "This new approach to operations enables us to operate with a far higher degree of delicacy and accuracy than is achievable with traditional operating approaches." Less tissue is harmed as a result, and patients recover more quickly. The procedure is used by the experts, for instance, on patients with breast cancer who require intricate breast reconstructions or on patients who need tissue transplants following accidents. Microsurgeons can, for instance, reattach the smallest anatomical structures, such as blood arteries, nerves, or lymphatic vessels, which frequently have a diameter of only 0.3 millimeters, with the help of the robot and the robotic microscope.
The so-called Symani Surgical System, a robot, mimics human hand movements during surgery using an electromagnetic field and joysticks. The small tools used by the robot to perform the operating surgeon's motions have been shrunk by up to 20 times. This fully removes any hand trembling that could have existed. The operation robot is attached to a robotic microscope, and this microscope displays the region being worked on on two high-resolution monitors using a so-called 3D augmented reality headset. This headgear has a pair of binoculars that can mix real-world and virtual data. Through the recording and transmission of the surgeon's head motions to the robot, even complex viewing angles of the surgical site are made feasible. The operating surgeon may also use the robot to access a number of menus and carry out tasks without having to use their hands.
The new technology also has the benefit of allowing operating surgeons to take a relaxing stance, as opposed to the difficult posture they would otherwise need to maintain for several hours during operations. According to Tobias Hirsch, who holds the Chair of Plastic Surgery at Münster University, "we have considerably better ergonomics since we can now operate on patients in a remote manner. "This prevents us from being tired, which enables us to retain our focus for several hours at a time. We were able to validate the good impacts on the quality of operations and on ergonomics in early tests using the technologies, before they were employed in operations. The doctors were able to show that, when utilizing the robotic system, the learning curve, the handling of the instruments, and the ergonomics all indicated an improvement over conventional operating approaches during training with students and experienced microsurgeons.
Maximilian Kückelhaus and Tobias Hirsch will carry out further procedures over the following weeks and months, gathering data that they will then analyze in research projects. The quality of operations and ergonomics are in particular significant challenges that need to be addressed. "With this new technology, we aim to be able to not only carry out procedures with a higher level of accuracy and safety, but also, in the case of the smallest structures, to go beyond limitations set by the human body. It's possible that one day the operating surgeon won't need to be present in person since they won't need to be at the operating table. Maximilian Kückelhaus predicts the future: "A specialist could be able to carry out particular operations at any one of numerous places – without having to travel and be there in person.
Maximilian Kückelhaus received funds from the European Union's "Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe" program for the creation and clinical testing of this novel therapy approach.

Q: Load number of Images at a Time I have about 500 static images as EmbeddedResource. Right now I show the images with the help of a slider. So when the slider value changes, I load the corresponding image.
        private void pageSlider_ValueChanged(object sender, ValueChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var newStep = Math.Round(e.NewValue / StepValue);

            pageSlider.Value = newStep * StepValue;
            pageNumber.Text = pageSlider.Value.ToString();
            pageImage.Source = ImageSource.FromResource("SApp.Images.SPages.page" + pageSlider.Value.ToString() + ".jpg",typeof(AboutPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
        }

Now, as the slide is not that much user friendly to iterate thru 500 images (total image size 40 MB), what is the right way to load the images.
I thought to load it in Carousal control, but the current layout is TabbedPage, so I cannot do this.
Other option is to load all the images to ListView, but will it make issue with memory ? Or ListView with Paging ?

Maybe you can try to use FFImageLoading to display image in ListView, or just update image source when silder value update.
There are some features:

*

*Configurable disk and memory caching

*Multiple image views using the same image source (url, path, resource) will use only one bitmap which is cached in memory (less memory usage)

*Error and loading placeholders support

*Images can be automatically downsampled to specified size (less memory usage)

A: *

*Use a CollectionView and Load data incrementally. Or use it pull to refresh capability by wrapping it inside a RefreshView, you will be able to load your images async.

Edit
From source:

CollectionView is a view for presenting lists of data using different layout specifications. It aims to provide a more flexible, and performant alternative to ListView.

For information, you can use Pull to Refresh (Xamarin.Forms RefreshView) in both ListView or CollectionView.

*Beside that, for a faster image loading and smoother scrolling on Android only, you can use glidex.forms package, Official repo/docs.

Steeplechase Park was the first of Coney Island's three original amusement parks (in addition to Luna Park and Dreamland) and its longest lasting, operating from 1897 to 1964. It had a Ferris Wheel modeled after that of Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition, a mechanical horse race course (from which the park got its name), scale models of world landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben, "Canals of Venice," the largest ballroom in the state, and the famous Parachute Jump, among other rides and attractions.
After World War II, Coney Island's popularity began to fade, especially when Robert Moses made it his personal mission to replace the resort area's amusements with low-income, high-rise residential developments. But ultimately, it was Fred Trump, Donald's father, who sealed Steeplechase's fate, going so far as to throw a demolition party when he razed the site in 1966 before it could receive landmark status.
Built by Donald Trump's father, Fred, in 1964, Trump Village in Coney Island features seven 23-story towers with 3,700 co-op and rental apartments. To pay for the $70 million project, which would total $564 million today, Fred Trump used Mitchell-Lama, a government program that granted financial incentives in exchange for setting aside affordable housing. The typical rental contract lasts 20 years, and after that, landlords can opt-out of the program. As Crain's reported, Trump Village became one of the first co-ops to exit the Mitchell-Lama program in 2007, letting residents sell their apartments for whatever the market allowed. Owners of 38,000 Mitchell-Lama apartments, representing 28% of the program's housing, have left in the past 20 years. But as the value of these apartments, which were once affordable, keeps rising, New Yorkers looking for affordable housing there, and other former Mitchell-Lama apartments, may be out of luck.
A divorcing couple in Jamaica Estates, Queens just got something new to fight over: proceeds from the sale of their relatively modest six-bedroom Tudor home at 85-15 Wareham Place, which will head for the auction block in the first week in December. The house, which the estranged couple tried to sell for $1.65 million, chopped to $1.2 million, then pulled from the market, just happens to be where President Elect Donald Trump spent his terrible twos, and is expected to fetch at least 10 times that ask at auction, according to the New York Post.
Black potential tenants who just wanted a decent place to live were routinely turned away at the Trump family's Queens housing complexes and others. Housing activists and equal housing organizations took note, and in 1973 Trump Management was sued by the Justice Department for discrimination. Some of those tenants who stood firm remember the indignities all too well.


The word selfie now means something, and is more than just another random word touted by cool and hip people, with a dictionary entry for the word meaning a self-portraiture shot on a phone, and a new smartphone to go along with it.
That new smartphone is a Nokia, or Microsoft Device, whichever branding you call it while the Nokia brand begins to take a backseat to the whole Microsoft thing.
More specifically, it's the Lumia 735, one of the handsets announced at IFA barely a few weeks ago being set for release locally.
This was one of three launched handsets, with the Lumia 830 and 730 also announced. Back then, we suggested that the Lumia 735 would likely be launched over its dual-SIM brother, the 730, and it appears that's exactly what's going to happen.
In the Lumia 735, you'll find a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 8GB storage, microSD slot to expand this, 1GB RAM, and 2200mAh battery sitting under a 4.7 inch high definition screen running a resolution of 1280×720 and showing off 312 pixels per inch, just 14 below the Retina level of quality found on the iPhone 6.
Also included are cameras, and on the back, there's a 6.7 megapixel shooter, while the front sports the biggest front-facing camera for a Windows Phone to date, with a 5 megapixel wide angle shooter here. Many are calling this style of camera a selfie camera, and with more than 2 megapixels offered here, that's more or less the message Microsoft is sending with this model.
High speed connectivity is also being communicated, with 4G LTE included, as well as a price point that will make the Windows Phone handset appeal to more people, coming in at $399 outright.
''People are telling us that they want mobile devices that allow them to connect and create more," said Steve Lewis, General Manager of Microsoft Mobile Devices in Australia and New Zealand.
Microsoft's Lumia 735 will hit stores from the first of October for $399 with a wireless charging cover included in the box, with Vodafone the only telco expected to run the phone.

Oh! Fudge!
Ralphie Parker's one Christmas wish is pretty simple - he wants an air gun. And he's going to make sure he gets it! A Christmas Story is based on the beloved 1983 movie, directed by Bob Clark, which has become a perennial holiday classic. Adapted faithfully for the stage by Joseph Robinette, the funny and witty songs are provided by the songwriting duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, whose compositions figured prominently on the NBC show Smash. Sure to appeal to all the family, this musical is a whimsical, nostalgic portrait of 1940s America and a stone-cold holiday classic. Why watch it on TV when you can see it live?
The original Broadway production of A Christmas story debuted in 2012 and was nominated for three Tony Awards.
What is A Christmas Story About?
Ralphie Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle. His parents are not so keen on the idea, afraid that "You'll shoot your eye out!" But Ralphie is nothing but determined, and he's got a few tricks up his sleeve to make sure his dream comes true! Some of the obstacles lying in his way include the neighbour's dogs, his annoying younger brother and an unfortunate slip of the tongue that results in some literal soap in the mouth.
Opening night: 8 November 2019
Suitable for audiences of all ages and a great night at the theater for families!

Food hoarding on Dutch Islands as Venezuela issues trade ban over smuggling
WILLEMSTAD - The population of Curaçao was forced to begin stockpiling food since neighboring country Venezuela announced a trade boycott with the Dutch Caribbean Island on Friday. The trade ban also covered Aruba and Bonaire, all three of which rely heavily on the South American country's fruits and vegetables.
The 72-hour ban was ordered by Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and made public during a televised address on Saturday. "They take away gold from this country illegally, and make it legal to sell there; they take away [the metallic ore] coltan, they take away diamonds, they take away all food products," Maduro said, according to the New York Times. "I didn't want to take a measure like this one, but I am ready to take even more radical measures."
Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Halbe Zijlstra was said to be indignant at Maduro's decision. This unilateral trade boycott does not fit with the "ambition of a good relationship between neighboring countries," a spokesperson for Foreign Minister Halbe Zijlstra said to the Dutch news channel NOS over the weekend. "We demand an explanation for this decision. We also want to specify that a unilateral closing of the borders does not contribute to a solution to smuggling. If there are illegal practices we should collaborate."
As justification for his actions, Maduro claimed local governments and the Dutch government do nothing to stop smuggling efforts. Maduro further cited his people's own needs as a reason to cut off the produce trade.
Black markets selling "everything from illegally mined minerals to narcotics" from Venezuela have long been found on the Dutch Caribbean islands, noted the New York Times. The newspaper also said boats full of starving people, many of which left the South American nation illegally, have turned up on Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. The border closure will prevent more from leaving.
A trade band could have a significant impact on the pre-planned visit to all three islands by one Dutch Cabinet members this week. Raymond Knops, the State Secretary of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, said in a press release on Wednesday that he was excited to learn more in person about the benefits and difficulties of life on the islands. He noted the importance of seeing the challenges faced in the region, and how that can shape future cooperation with the Dutch government.

Where commuters pedal by the millions
By Takashi Oka Staff correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
What the car is to Americans, the bicycle os to most Chinese. "You Americans have too many cars," Deputy Premier Li Xiannian told an American visitor recently. "And we Chinese have too many bicycles."
Anyone who has watched rush-hour traffic at the corner of Changan and Dongdan avenues knows whereof the Deputy Premier speaks.
A thick crowd of blue-coated, blue-capped cycle riders pauses at each avenue, waiting impatiently for the light to change in their favor. Pedestrians wade into the tide at their peril, and cars turning the corner from one street into the other look like bewildered whales caught in a shoal of quick-darting fish.
China, of course, has cars -- family-sized Shanghai taxis, sleek curtained hongqi (red flag) limousines for the high-ranking, trucks, buses, and military vehicles of various kinds. But for the Mr. Zhangs and Mr. Lis of urban China, the normal means of travel is by bicycle.
The two-and the three-bicycle family is becoming about as common as the two- and three-car family in the United States.
In 1979 China produced 10 million bicycles, according to official statistics. One in every 12 Chinese possesses a bicycle. Owners lavish the same care on their two-wheeled vehicles as they do on four-wheelers elsewhere. I have rarely seen a dirty bicycle in Peking, just as I have rarely seen a diety car in Japan. And owners are brand-conscious as well.
A "Phoenix" is not the same as a "Flying Pigeon," and both are different from "Everlasting," though all three may look as inscrutably alike to the unpracticed eye as all Orientals are said to look to visiting Westerners.
One friend of mine prefers "Flying Pigeon" because it has a larger frame and a sturdier seat and suits his husky girth. Anohter swears by "Phoenix," which is light yet durable and just the thing for city cycling. The monarchs of the two-wheeled world are imported Raleighs, purring along on three gears. They can only be brought in by Chinese returning from overseas, and they attract as much attention as a Lotus or a Maserati.
Bicycles cost from 150 to 170 yuan ($100 to $110 or so) -- two to three times the monthly salary of most office workers. Even then, they are not all that easy to obtain.
One must first get an authorization from his place of work, and then wait for months for the actual vehicle. But many commuters manage to jump the queue in one way or another One acquaintance told me it took him only three days to buy his vehicle through an uncle in the Army.
It is strictly forbidden to carry another person either behind or in front. Regulations say nothing, however, about sidecars. Many parents have therefore constructed flimsy wooden one-wheelers in which to deliver their young offsprings to kindergartens and nurseries. In almost all families, husbands and wives work, and the only way they can do so is to place their young children in nurseries.
Bicycles also serve as light delivery vehicles. In the flow of Peking's two-wheeled traffic, the red postman's cycle is an occasional entrant, as is the tower of a flat-floored ambulance, the patient bundled up in multicolored quilts.
The coal deliveryman pulling his heavy load of crushed-coal briquettes rides cheek by jowl with the carrier of Chinese cabbages, or long-handled brooms, or freshly baked bread.
And it is all pretty noiseless traffic. The occasional jingle of a warning bell is all one hears as Peking's commuter millions make their twice-daily pedal-tour from suburban home to downtown office.
"So much better than going by the crowded, smelly bus," one commuter says to another. Never mind the occasional snow or rain that turns pedaling into something less than a joy ride. Never mind the nippy night air and the occasional open manholes that the municipal service bureau sometimes forgets to mark.
Hertz and Avis have not made their appearance here yet, but any visitor who wants to rent a cycle has only to go to his neighborhood bicycle repair shop. It's much cheaper than a taxi, and you will really feel yourself to be a citizen of Peking.

Uncharted 2 demo now exploring PSN
PlayStation Store Update: Naughty Dog's acclaimed actioner gets free single-player sampler, multiplayer DLC; Hustle Kings, Thexder Neo, Assault Heroes also online.
By Gamespot Staff on January 29, 2010 at 11:05AM PST
Perhaps the biggest addition to the PlayStation Network Store this week won't cost PlayStation 3 gamers a thing. Those not yet convinced that Naughty Dog's highly acclaimed, multi-award nominated Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is worth their time can pick up a free single-player demo for the game beginning today. The multiplayer-centric PlayStation Heroes pack, which contains seven character skins from other high-profile PS3 exclusives, such as Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, is also available for $4.99.
The PS3 has a trio of original games added to its downloadable library this week as well. VooFoo Studios' Hustle Kings brings billiards to the PS3 for $9.99. Thexder Neo, from Square Enix, is a revamp of the classic PC side-scrolling shooter and features new graphics, features, and modes, as well as six-player online action, for $9.99. Having previously released the game for the Xbox 360 and PC, Wanako Studios will be bringing its top-down shooter Assault Heroes to the PSN this week for $9.99.
PS3 gamers shouldn't need much convincing to at least try Uncharted 2.
Two PSOne Classics also surface on Sony's store this week. Originally released for Sony's first gaming console in 1996, Epic Games' Extreme Pinball is available for $5.99. Bullfrog Productions' futuristic racer Hi-Octane: The Track Fights Back also zips in at the $6 price point.
There's a dearth of content on the PSP store this week, though four new PSP minis will see release. The new micro games released this week are Dracula - Undead Awakening ($4.99), Pinball Dreams ($6.99), Route 66 ($3.99), and Deflector ($3.99).
A full list of the week's deals and new PlayStation Store content, including themes, wallpapers, demos, and add-on content, is available on the official PlayStation Blog.

Ireland's Economy Conditions
Ireland has high living standards, with huge developments bolstered by the OECD's greatest comment production increase. Over the last 30 years, the Irish economy has proven to be very resilient. The high-income redistribution tax and transfer system have brought average earnings up to a level have been minimized. Simultaneously, the population reports a high level of work-life balance, a sense of safety in public settings, and robust social ties. The solid economic recovery is currently benefitting domestic demand. Ireland has virtually little in common economically. Besides, Ireland's Economy is a good example of economics. We avoid comparing the economics of the North and the Republic for whatever reason, probably because of the zero-sum politics involved.
The North is commonly compared to the rest of the UK, while the Republic is judged against EU standards and averages. The claim that living conditions in Northern Ireland are 20% greater than in Scotland is perhaps the most eye-catching contribution to the argument. Since taking office in March 2011, the Irish government has prioritized repairing the public finances, restoring the health of the banking sector, and supporting growth and employment. Ireland has met all of the program's agreed-upon targets after joining an EU-IMF bailout program in late 2010.
Despite a difficult international climate, the Irish economy expanded by 1.4 per cent in 2011, the first annual growth since 2007. 12 Ireland is on pace to reduce its budget deficit to less than 3% of GDP by 2015. In early 2012, the Irish government announced its first annual Action Plan for Jobs, which comprised over 270 initiatives targeted at helping businesses develop and produce and sustain jobs. Besides, the UK focused on Ireland's economy.
Surprisingly, his 20% assertion is based on the work of FitzGerald and Morgenroth, the two economists he claims to despise. According to a recent study, per capita consumption (individual and government spending) in Ireland was 20% higher in 2012. The disparity was primarily attributable to Ireland's higher levels of government consumption, which reflected better public services such as health. Following the financial crisis, Scotland was likewise in the midst of an EU-IMF rescue package. The assertion was made by Cambridge University academic Graham Gudgin in a post published in February on Queen's Policy Engagement, a debate platform maintained by Queen's University, and it was taken up by various media outlets. The financial system is modest, contemporary, and heavily reliant on trade.

It is a different way to provide advice for managing a project with new plans. Besides, an idea can change the output of a project as well. I learned that projects can be managed based on new ideas as well. Besides, there are many good chances in a project to develop basic processes as well. Besides, I learned that preparation for project development is necessary as well. I have used all the skills and other processes to manage my project. It was really beneficial in the completion of my project as well as the development of the project. Moreover, there are many changes in the system to improve the basic processes.

Mary Ann Dyer "Molly" Goodnight (September 12, 1839 – April 11, 1926) was an American cattlewoman and rancher married to prominent Texas rancher and cattleman Charles Goodnight. She was a 1991 inductee of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

Life
Mary Ann (Molly) Goodnight was born Mary Ann Dyer on September 12, 1839, in Madison County, Tennessee. In 1854, when she was 14, Goodnight's parents brought her to Belknap, Texas. Not soon after her parents died, then she had to care for her five brothers. Around 1864, she met Charles Goodnight at Fort Belknap. In the 1860s, she taught in Weatherford, Texas. Goodnight married Charles in Hickman, Kentucky, on July 26, 1870.

Ranching
They had a seven-year try at ranching in Colorado, but soon moved back to Texas. Charles established a partnership with John George Adair. Charles' partnership enabled him to co-found the famous JA Ranch in Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle in 1877.

Goodnight established her proper place as wife and helper with Charles, the most famous rancher on the High Plains. Beyond her regular chores, Goodnight took it upon herself to rescue baby bison left behind by hunters, soon establishing the Goodnight buffalo herd. In 1887, they moved to Armstrong County, Texas, where Goodnight spent the remainder of her life. Goodnight assisted in establishing Goodnight College in 1898.

Death and legacy
Goodnight died on April 11, 1926, in Armstrong County. In 1888, the Goodnights built the Goodnight Ranch House in Goodnight, Texas. The house is located in Armstrong County, Texas, at US 287 and 5000 Block County Road 25. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It came to house the Charles and Mary Ann (Molly) Goodnight Ranch House, which was a museum. In the 1860s Charles and Oliver Loving created the Goodnight-Loving Trail, which was a cattle drive in the late 1860s for the movement of large herds of Texas Longhorns from Texas to Wyoming.

Long ago, on the tiny Venetian island of Burano, the villagers were starving. Brave Gianni sets out into the icy lagoon to catch fish to feed his people, leaving his fiancée Nicoletta to pray for his safe return. Gianni tries to catch fish for hours, but his net comes up empty every time. A sudden storm sweeps across the lagoon, washing Gianni overboard. He struggles to stay afloat. All hope seems lost until a beautiful mermaid appears in front of Gianni, bearing a gift that will change the lives of the people of Burano forever.
This story is a beautiful adaptation of the Italian folktale of how Burano began crafting its famous lace. Rich, intricate illustrations by noted illustrator Traci Van Wagoner complement the delicate tale. Readers young and old will appreciate the resourcefulness and devotion of Gianni and Nicoletta in this title, destined to be a classic.

Feds File Lawsuits Seeking Forfeiture Of Properties Allegedly Bought With EB-5 Visa Fraud Scheme
May 30, 2017 By sdcnews
LOS ANGELES–Federal prosecutors have filed civil complaints seeking the forfeiture of nine real properties across Southern California that were allegedly purchased with proceeds generated by a fraudulent scheme that collected more than $50 million from foreign investors seeking "green cards" through the EB-5 visa program. The nine lawsuits filed last Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court allege that much of the money collected from the primarily Chinese investors either was refunded to the foreign nationals or was stolen by participants in the scheme. The asset forfeiture complaints allege that attorney Victoria Chan and her father, Tat Chan, operated a business called California Investment Immigration Fund, LLC (CIIF) from 2008 until this year. In April, special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI executed federal search warrants as part of an ongoing probe. According to the lawsuits, CIIF exploited the EB-5 visa program, which provides lawful permanent residence – commonly known as a "green card" – to foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a domestic business that creates 10 new American jobs. Those involved in the scheme allegedly convinced more than 100 Chinese nationals to invest over $50 million in CIIF and related companies. "Rather than legitimately investing the funds into American businesses, CIIF either refunded the funds to the EB-5 investors while the investors' EB-5 petitions were pending, in direct violation of the EB-5 program, or stole millions of dollars to use for personal expenditures, including buying million-dollar homes," according to the lawsuits that allege "many foreign nationals were able to improperly obtain U.S. green cards." The lawsuits allege that the properties named in the asset forfeiture lawsuits were purchased with proceeds derived from mail fraud, wire fraud, or visa fraud and that the purchases themselves constituted money laundering. The lawsuits seek the forfeiture of nine properties:
a commercial property in the City of Industry valued at over $3 million;
five residences in the cities of Rancho Cucamonga, Arcadia (worth approximately $4 million), Diamond Bar, Riverside and Duarte (valued at $5.5 million); and
parcels of land located in Ontario, Indio (worth nearly $6 million) and Rancho Cucamonga (valued at more than $7.7 million).
The asset forfeiture complaints were filed by Assistant United States Attorney Jonathan Galatzan of the Asset Forfeiture Section.

Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia Reinforces Its Digital Bank With Feedzai RiskOps Partnership
ByTyler Smith
In an attempt to safeguard the customers of its new digital bank, Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia (ARBM) is to adopt the cybersecurity of the risk-ops platform Feedzai.
The integration of the risk-ops platform will help the digital bank to meet various security demands throughout its operations.
The cloud-based offering incorporates device authentication, malware defence, behavioural biometrics and a full suite of integrated fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) solutions from customer due diligence to watchlist screening and transaction monitoring.
Feedzai also runs various fraud detection scenarios, which will work to help the bank identify gaps in its security measures before the fraudsters do; with scenarios covering common scams and account takeovers.
The digital bank, which came into being in 2021, is differentiated by "its high levels of innovation, customer-centricity and reliability," an official statement read.
Arsalaan Ahmed
Identifying the platform as a "stand-out provider," the bank's CEO, Arsalaan Ahmed, comments that the partnership will "[keep] our customers safe and secure in an ever-evolving financial crime landscape," adding that the partnership "is in line with our commitment to innovation and re-imagining the 21st-century banking experience."
Feedzai orientates itself as a financial risk management platform, which actively seeks to address the various issues that may crop up when running a digital bank. These include the management of both identity and real-time data, as well as addressing the efficiency of the customer life cycle.
"By selecting a single, scalable solution…Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia will ensure its customers are well protected against financial crimes such as money laundering or scams which ultimately erode consumer trust in the financial system," comments Feedzai CEO Nuno Sebastião.
"Our unified risk-ops platform will ensure that their teams have a single platform to handle everything fraud and financial crime-related," he continues.
Feedzai is continuing to strengthen its presence and team in the region and recently announced Cormac Sheedy as the new general manager for the Middle East and Africa (MEA). Sheedy has over 25 years of experience as a sales director at the crossroads between financial services and technology. He joins Feedzai from Irish regulation technology firm Fenergo, where he was head of MENA sales.

A Canadian Indigenous Tribe Just Turned Down $267,000 Per Person – Here's Why
Posted by Alec Cope | May 18, 2015 |
Lax Kw'alaams Band/Facebook
Source: Fusion.net
The Lax Kw'alaams Band, a Canadian first nations people living in a remote part of British Columbia, turned down an offer amounting to $267,000 per person to allow a natural gas pipeline and processing facility to be built on their lands.
Malaysian energy giant Petronas and its partners had offered the 3,600-member band a total of $960 million to allow construction of its $30-billion-dollar Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal and Prince Rupert gas pipeline to proceed.
The band wasn't interested.
"This is not a money issue: this is environmental and cultural," the band said in a statement. Representatives of the band voted unanimously against the offer.
In a bulletin discussing the project's impact, band members noted the project would put a culturally significant island completely off limits, and raised concerns about its impact on marine life and fish supplies.
The vote was made possible in part by a Canadian Supreme Court ruling last year that gave greater autonomy to indigenous groups greater control over natural resource issues that affect their lands, Bloomberg reported.
And it represents another stumbling block in the way of energy giants' plans to export more fossil fuels from Canada. Besides the Keystone XL Pipeline, the last cross-border leg of which the White House has refused to approve. Alberta's new premier has said she plans to withdraw the province's support for the Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry diluted bitumen from tar sands to the Pacific Coast.
"Gateway is not the right decision. I think that there's just too much environmental sensitivity there and I think there's a genuine concern by the indigenous communities," she said in an April interview with the Calgary Herald. "It's not going to go ahead. I think most people know that."
The New York Times reports the band remains open to further talks about how the project's environmental footprint could be reduced, but that its developers are "continu[ing] to to assess the viability of the project."

DROPKICK MURPHYS : Live On Lansdowne
Sunday Mercury
Live On Lansdowne
(Cooking Vinyl)
w AS you recover from the revels of today's St Patrick's Parade through Birmingham, make a date in your diary: April 5, 2010.
That's when Dropkick Murphys unleash their new live album and DVD, both of which were recorded in hometown Boston during last year's St Paddy's party.
This is a rabble-rousing, rambunctious, riotous racket, a boisterous blend of Irish tradition, punk punch and skittering ska, delivered with more calorie-burning energy than Ashley Cole's love life.
From the pop sensibilities of Sunshine Highway to Woody Guthrie-inspired signature song I'm Shipping Up To Boston (featuring guest vocals by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones), there's hardly time to take breath.
And the express train excitement of Flannigan's Ball somehow seems to roll The Pogues and Green Day into one irresistible stomp monster.
Frontman Al Barr growls like a grizzly, joined in a Jamesons-soaked singalong with the rest of the band – and don't miss Scruffy Wallace's bagpipes.
This is joyous stuff which the Murphys will be bringing to your doorstep with a date at Birmingham's 02 Academy on April 16. Better make mine a double! PC

Is Bankruptcy a Smart Option?
Many people consider bankruptcy a symptom of failure, both fiscally and morally. But an article published in The Huffington Post this year seems to suggest otherwise. The article, entitled "Here Is Exactly Why People Who File Bankruptcy Are Smart," claims that a person's immediate debt is nowhere near as big a problem as their future debt. That may sound counterintuitive, but think about it, would you rather get rid of your debt now, or have it waiting for you when you reach retirement age? In other words, deal with your debt now, so you don't have to deal with it in the future. The article even cites a study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which found that people who file bankruptcy do better, financially than those who don't. If you're still unsure that bankruptcy can be a positive thing, let's look at some notable and successful people who've declared bankruptcy in their lifetime (hint: they include famous artists, athletes, titans of industry, and four presidents).
President Thomas Jefferson
President Ulysses S. Grant
President William McKinley
Henry Ford (Model T)
Henry John Heinz (ketchup)
Walt Disney (Mickey Mouse)
Rembrandt (painter)
Milton Hershey (chocolate)
Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn)
Burt Reynolds ("Smokey and the Bandit")
Jerry Lee Lewis ("Great Balls of Fire")
Johnny Unitas (NFL Hall of Fame)
That's just a few and not a slouch in the bunch.
Seriously, if you are considering filing for bankruptcy, seek the advice of the legal team at Cal West Law. Call their Los Angeles offices today, at (818) 446-1334.

Francesca Topolski Dip ASK, CSS
Offering more than 25 years' experience in Systematic Kinesiology and Complementary Medicine
About Francesca
© Francesca Topolski 2019
"Being a therapist myself, I am acutely aware that there are many healers out there who are highly competent, but few are what one might call 'masters'. Francesca is unquestionably a master.
Three things make Francesca's work special: first, she can deal just as effectively with physical problems as with emotional difficulties: she has a formidable array of techniques to deal with a vast range of ailments and issues. Second, in spite of her extremely high level of proficiency, she is forever training: she is always growing, always keeping up to date, is always able to bring freshness and energy to her work. Third, she doesn't just dispense treatments: she cares. This is rare – and vital – and precious."
Shomit Mitter
"I was first introduced to Francesca 10 years ago when I was suffering from a recurrent and stubborn candida infection in my gut which my doctor couldn't help with. I had managed to clear it myself using supplements in the past, but this bout had lasted 14 months and I weighed less than 7 stone. I was sceptical and couldn't understand how kinesiology worked, but as I was desperate I thought I'd give it a go.
Francesca helped clear it within two months, using emotional healing techniques as well as supplements. Since then, Francesca has supported me through issues with a fibroid, breast cancer and emotional challenges. She uses a variety of techniques including muscle testing, EFT, CranioSacral, resonance and visceral massage.
I honestly don't know what state I would be in without her support."
Razia Sultana
"I can not praise Francesca enough. I have been seeing her for the last few years and her support has been invaluable to me. She is incredibly talented at what she does and she has an innate nurturing ability.
Francesca is warm and gentle and she made me feel at ease from the minute I met her."
Christian Ouff
"For decades I have had the privilege of being a recipient of Francesca's enormous talent. She manages with enthusiasm, intellect, insight and love to consistently deliver the most vital ways to increase my overall health."
Pamela Golden
"I have been Francesca's regular client for the last 14 years. I first came to see her when I was trying to conceive my third child and I now bring my whole family for regular check ups and fine tuning. Francesca is the first person I think of when any of us have a health niggle and her treatments have, without fail, help each one of us restore to a better health.
Francesca has a vast knowledge and uses several different methods in her diagnosis and treatment which guarantees the best outcome for her client. Her continual training in new disciplines and using that knowledge has always amazed me and given me confidence that she looks after her clients in the best possible way.
On a personal level Francesca is an extremely warm and caring therapist who has always shown a lot of understanding and empathy which is another reason why I feel that she is a cut above other therapist I have come across.
My girls and I all love Francesca and look forward to seeing her as much as having our treatment and we always feel so much better afterwords. My biggest fear is that she will win the lottery and retire or move to France as we could never find anybody even close to her expertise and wonderful qualities.
Lilliana Glyn
"Francesca is not only a lovely person but a very gifted healer. We have all been coming to her for over 10 years now, and as a result we have not needed to use allopathic medicine in our family, and my children are healthier than most of the other kids around."
Jo Manuel
"I have been a client of Francesca's for over 16 years and she has successfully treated me for a wide array of issues from physical, emotional, hormonal and dietary needs. I particularly like the fact that she quickly knows what the most pressing area to work on in each session is and takes things from there.
Seeing Francesca is always a treat because not only do I benefit from the changes she gently and effectively brings about, it is always lovely to be around her. My teenage boys are always keen to make an appointment whether it be for a sports injury that needs realigning or an allergy to pinpoint."
Claire Trigger
"Our relationship began as an answer to a mother's concerns. She was our blessing through it all – growing pains, braces, sports injuries, allergies, cranial issues, dietary and boosting the 'run down! My children learnt early to make precise distinction, as to 'when' they needed to see Francesca. It is well over 12 years, and I too have been treated, helped and repaired so wonderfully by her! I have also had the pleasure of recommending her as the 'solution' to many friends who have never been disappointed. I remain amazed by her understanding and the methods of deciphering she engages in to make our body talk. The repertoire of skills she employs to cross reference and confirm what the cause or issue is continues to fascinate me. It has been a wonderfully enhancing journey of many things old and 'alternate'.
Anyone is capable of learning a skill or acquiring knowledge. The real edge lies in possessing an innate ability to hear, understand, and enable healing – it is this gift that makes Francesca a truly special therapist."
Kalpana Brijnath
"Francesca is a little magic, a little psychic, and a whole lot of healing. What she does not detect from your muscles, she will detect from you. Surrender and feel alleviated. Over the years I have seen many therapists, gurus, doctors, both alternative and conventional but have found Francesca to be the most accurate, productive and helpful."
Mia Fredriksson
"Fours years ago I suffered a chronic rash around my eyes for over three months which was not only distressing but also intimidating in my profession working with faces. Over the months my doctor prescribed three types of topical creams to no effect and eventually six weeks of antibiotics which I was loathe to start taking. The next day I was working with Daisy Lowe who recommended I go and see her kinesiologist, Francesca Topolski. I booked in immediately.
Francesca worked her magic which I don't quite understand and prescribed various herbal supplements. The rash disappeared within three days. Incredible! I continue to see Francesca regularly to keep my immune system boosted and myself grounded while my career takes me around the world working with high profile clients. I recommend her to everyone who mentions an ailment or imbalance. She is brilliant!"

"I have had sessions of cranial sacral therapy with Francesca over the last few years and have always have found her to be totally focused on my issues. Her work has enabled me to bring up layer by layer of negative stored emotions and patterning, creating massive energy shifts in my mind and body. I have always felt 100% supported by her and profoundly empowered after her sessions.
Francesca is a wonderful therapist – completely committed to her work and her clients. She works in a professional, dynamic and very caring way, and I always feel safe, and nurtured, throughout her sessions."
Mairead Neal
"Francesca works fast and with incredible accuracy to identify the best remedies for any problem and the best supplements to ensure optimal health. So many times I have gone to her with an ailment that has completely baffled doctors and she is able to get to the bottom of it and fix it in just one session. Francesca is an incredibly talented kinesiologist and cranial therapist. You walk in full of aches and pains and ailments and leave an hour later feeling a different person."
Claire Lennard
"I had chronic fatigue and adrenal burnout and Francesca was recommended - I wasn't sure for what exactly but I went anyway. She used kinesiology and said I had a weak liver, which I thought was odd given my diet and lifestyle. After some testing she said ibuprofen was the cause, and I had forgotten I'd taken some for a while during a challenging time. She prescribed me some supplements.
A week later I was undergoing blood tests through my doctor. He also said my liver was weak and arranged a scan for me which I attended a few weeks after that, by which time my liver was 'textbook normal' and I think Francesca's amazing."
Sarah McDougall
"I consult Francesca Topolski since more than ten years with all my family. For me it is more than a pleasure, to tell you how good she has been for us. One story only, after a terrible car crash I found myself blind, an attack of the retina. In Harley street, they give me no hope to see again. Desperate I went to see Francesca who tested me, gave me some supplements, and worked on my cranium. Little by little I regained my sight and got my life back."
Caroline van den Boogaard
"Francesca is a brilliant therapist and healer. Very professional and thorough, using a variety of her amazing skills to work out the best course of action for you. I would recommend her highly to everyone."
Louise South
"Francesca has been treating me since 1992 and has kept me healthy and looking good, she's been part of my anti-aging regime and is part of the reason I look so young."

We are missingalarm/events from AC400C in our IM Server. We can see that collection of system alarm and events, audit events are working but we are missing the process events from AC400C.
Note! the alarm and events are working at the connectivity servers/ op clients / alarm lists/ event lists and trend data also works.
when we connect to our IM db with datadirect and query the IM database we can't detect any process events(alarm and events from AC400C).
Anyone have any tip where we should search to solve the problem?
Even if its not likely, you could suffer from a filter preventing storage of AC400 A&E.
Please search the IM Configuration User's Guide on filtering (basically you create an alarm and event list configuration aspect on a distinct object with a distinct name, the settings made there control what event categories the IM will be logging - does filter exist, but without 'Process(MB300)' category selected?).
Without filtering, all events should be logged in IM.
1) Check IM Oracle Instance - any table space at or near 100%?
Number 2) is not that easy to perform, but will tell if IM event collection engine has run into a problem, e.g. an IM message log not too keen on attribute changes, e.g. if someone has added custom event attributes and subsequently changed their data types from one to another. This might require the category to be adjusted.
Also, you may see evidence of duplicate event categories causing issues. ABB has published product bulletins on this. Search ABB Library/SolutionsBank.
I believe you should file an official support case incl a zip of the %HS_LOG% folder and the alert file from Oracle (can't remember the path, but C:\Oracle\...\*alert*.log is the start and end of it). Google can help with any errors you may find therein.
2) We don't find the logs you specify in your comment Stefan?
The log files are there.
Open a Windows Explorer and type %HS_LOG% in the address bar.
The explorer will jump to "C:\ProgramData\ABB\IM\History\Log" something.
Try looking for errors, especially ones containing MB300 as category names are echoed as they are discovered, e.g. "Process(MB300)" - the process alarm category for MB300.
I find the same type of message from hsEventLogCollector.log on our server like the example you showed.
I can attach the logs if you want to take a look at it.
AEClient.cpp @ 1881 UTC 2016/06/29 07:31:26 PID=10032 | SetMsgTypeEx2 (Verify) was successfull.
This was "PcEvent(MB300)" - check Process(MB300).
If you in essence only see "successful" events log will probably not tell me so much (I'm no pro, just an amateur on IM).
But if you see all MB300 categories without errors... a lot speaks for that these messages are logged.
ReadRaw (towards Basic History) is used by IM to feed its own numerical logs. I.e. not a message log problem.
Ensure the Next clause fit within the auto-extend maximum.
The C:\oracle\diag\rdbms\adva\adva\trace\alert_adva.log should be clean from errors.
About sync issues; ensure all Log Configurations properly reference a Log Template in aspect system. Use Find Tool to search for Aspect Category = Log Configuration, drag the results into the Consistency Checker and have them all checked + possibly corrected. A non-existent template could cause IM sync issues.
Hmm... a full tablespace often give echo in the alert file. However, this is the temp tablespace used for other things than just persistent storage of table data.

Obama's Passage to India
MARTIN FELDSTEIN
(PDF Version)
CAMBRIDGE - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vigorous foreign policy in the seven months since he took office has surprised observers. After inviting the leaders of Pakistan and other neighboring countries to his inauguration, he embarked on trips to China, Australia, and the United States. More recently, he welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin to New Delhi and signed a large number of trade deals and orders to import Russian nuclear reactors. India, Modi is telling his fellow citizens, is strong and well regarded around the world.
Next month, US President Barack Obama will travel to New Delhi as Modi's special guest at events commemorating Republic Day, India's national holiday - just three months after the two leaders held substantive talks in Washington, DC. The visit should thus be regarded as a clear signal of Obama's desire, no less than Modi's, to strengthen US-India relations.
So what is likely to be on Obama's mind when he meets his Indian counterpart again, and what does he think can be done to cement bilateral ties? Three issues stand out - beginning with trade, which is as important politically as it is economically.
Obama hopes that the Trans-Pacific Partnership will be concluded in 2015 and ratified by the US Senate. The TPP will not be as powerful a free-trade agreement as originally intended, owing to exclusions and a very long phase-in period. But it will tie the US and 11 other Pacific Rim countries (including Japan but excluding China) together in a new economic bloc. Obama should be eager to stress that India's exclusion from the TPP is a matter solely of geography - India does not abut the Pacific - and that the US wants to increase bilateral trade and direct investment by American firms.
The second issue is terrorism. The US authorities are worried that American citizens who have been fighting with the Islamic State and Al Qaeda in the Middle East will return home to commit terrorist acts. India has experienced horrific acts of terrorism on its own territory. Continued cooperation between the US and Indian intelligence agencies can help both countries prevent future incidents.
Terrorism includes not just physical violence, but also assaults in cyberspace. China, Russia, and Iran have been the source of frequent cyber attacks on banks, companies, and government agencies; North Korea, the US alleges, was behind the recent breach of Sony Pictures' computers. Though Obama presented evidence to Chinese President Xi Jinping of technology theft by hackers based in China, the Chinese authorities continue to deny it. More recently, Russia and others have been planting malware in the control systems of the US power grid and other sensitive networks. Looking ahead, the US worries about cyber attacks by non-state actors like the Islamic State and Al Qaeda. Although these groups' members may lack the sophistication to commit such acts, they may try to hire individuals with the necessary skills. India has a large number of talented computer engineers, including some who might be sympathetic to the Islamist cause. The US and India could both benefit from cooperating to prevent and disrupt such recruitment efforts.
The third issue on Obama's mind is bound to be China's asserted goal of dominating Asia and excluding the US from the region. Chinese hegemonic ambition runs counter to India's strategic interests as well - reason enough for Modi's eagerness to strengthen his country's relations with its neighbors as well as with the US. Obama has already made it clear that the US understands that Modi's willingness to cooperate with Russia, despite Western sanctions imposed on the country, stems from India's desire to discourage a Sino-Russian alliance against it.
Modi won a landslide victory in an election that reflected the Indian public's disappointment with the policies and performance of the previous government, led by the Indian National Congress. Though India had experienced annual real GDP growth of more than 8% for several years, growth has slowed since 2010, to less than 5% in 2013, owing to a populist shift in policies dictated by Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi.
By contrast, the Modi government plans to pursue a pro-growth agenda that includes reducing bureaucratic delays, increasing infrastructure investment, stimulating manufacturing activity, and shifting to a simpler unified tax system. Modi's agenda also evidently includes an active foreign policy - as it should.
Cultivating India as a reliable partner in the global economy and in international affairs is a high priority for the US as well. Obama's visit to India can help to realize that relationship's potential.
