Huawei Residential Smart PV Solution Supports Vietnamese Households To Optimize the Use of Solar Energy
JOHANNESBURG : The creation of a minimum of 500 fuelling stations to provide hydrogen to mainly trucks powered by platinum-catalysed hydrogen fuel cells is planned by a US company in the next three to five years.
"We believe that everyone will be within a couple of miles of a hydrogen fuelling station in the next five years," PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp CEO Raghu Kilambi told Mining Weekly in a Zoom interview. This will potentially create additional demand for platinum group metals, of which South Africa is the main host.
PowerTap Hydrogen is owned by investment holding company Clean Power Capital Corp, a public company that trades in Canada, Germany and the US.
Kilambi's comments dovetail with a Bank of America calculation in the latest edition of Hydrogen Fuel News that the hydrogen economy is developing into a $11-trillion marketplace. His comments also coincide with those of Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility CEO Mark Freymueller, who states that trucks are the perfect lever to build up fuelling infrastructure sustainably.'
In California, where PowerTap Hydrogen is based, there are major carbon credits that incentivise the building of fuelling stations and against that background, PowerTap Hydrogen plans to start in California and then develop a national fuelling network in partnership with existing gasoline stations and truck stops.
"Certainly, we're going to do our part. We're going to be one of the first players and very aggressive on the market. We have no doubt there will be others, but we're very confident that we have a cost-effective solution that can meet the demand for the coming long-haul trucks and also for the consumer car market," Kilambi said.
Californian regulation mandates that 30% of heavy-duty truck sales be zero-emission by 2030.
The fuelling stations will be funded by a combination of public equity, including public institutional equity, and 'green' infrastructure loans available from the US Federal government and other private sector funds.
"Because we have good predictability of cash flow due to carbon credits, that allows us to get debt earlier than other sectors are able to get low-cost debt," he said. Revenues are raised by the company selling its carbon credits to carbon emitters.
On platinum-catalysed and hydrogen-using fuel cell electric vehicles having a significant role to play in especially the long-haul truck and bus segments, he said hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle sales are expected to grow exponentially, with Nikola alone having a $14-billion backlog of hydrogen truck orders.
The company's hydrogen, Kilambi said, is cheaper than diesel and trucks calling at its fuelling stations can, as is the case with diesel, refuel quickly.
On there being no planned battery electric vehicle long-haul trucks, he said: "The battery is too heavy and takes up too much space and the charging time would literally be hours for a battery electric vehicle. So that is simply not a viable technology.
"Hydrogen is actually hydrogen electric and so the hydrogen goes into a hydrogen fuel cell that then fuels an electric vehicle, so rather than the source of the electricity being battery electric, it is hydrogen electric," he said.
It is the platinum catalysts in the fuel cells that convert the hydrogen to electricity, with the main source of the platinum being from South Africa.
"Our view is that with all the major auto OEMs globally, Toyota, Hyundai, Mercedes, Volvo and others announcing long-haul fuel cell electric trucks creates this huge opportunity and what's missing globally, and to a large extent in the United States, is fuelling infrastructure. There are only 100 currently available hydrogen fuelling stations for car and trucks in the United States and the Department of Energy feels that there are thousands needed in the next three to five years," Kilambi stated.
PowerTap Hydrogen generates on-site blue hydrogen by putting natural gas through a steam methane reformation process on 90 square foot of space.
"We believe blue hydrogen is a solution for the next five or ten years to build up the fuelling infrastructure and if efficient electrolysis systems do come in, we can swop our steam methane reformation for electrolysis," he said.
Green hydrogen, which is in growing demand around the world, is generated by electrolysing water with clean, renewable energy.
"We're fully confident that it's the right time. Clean technology has become more sophisticated and there's more and more demand from consumers, companies and investors for clean technology," said Kilambi.
The race to align with the Paris Agreement is permeating across all sectors, Jefferies equity research analysts state in a note. The Paris Agreement sets out a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. It also aims to strengthen countries' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change and support them in their efforts.
Carbon is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burnt by vehicles and power stations. This carbon traps heat, which causes global warming. As a result, pressure is being exerted on governments and companies the world over to make explicit and sizable capital commitments to neutralise the carbon emissions from their operations.
The use of platinum group metals in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, renewable energy and other applications helps to do this, as does the recycling of products, which requires less energy than primary production. Hence the growing global insistence on the development of not only the hydrogen economy but also the intensification of the circular economy, which abates climate change by putting used products back into the market with greater environmental friendliness.

Thanks for the link to the guide. I was able to get the HCI UART sample working as explained in it. I was under the impression that I had to connect via the UART pins (exposed via GPIO 5, 6, 7, 8). I could only bring up the interface with the ttyACM0 interface created via the USB CDC interface. I read somewhere on the zephyr wiki page that the ttyACM0 interface is bridged to the nRF52's UART interface.
I want to be able to run the board with battery. I tried to attach with the UART interface (through an FTDI UART converter with proper flow control pins connected) and I was able to set the BD address with the static-addr command on btmgmt but when auto-power command seems to fail. Only if I use the ttyACM0 interface was I able to power on with auto-power command.
I am wondering if the bridging somehow affects the usage of plain UART pins. Is there a way to un-bridge this via software or jumper pins? Is it possible to talk to the nRF52 through the UART interface directly?
I am told by the hardware people that if you want to use the UART without powering the board via USB, then the safest option is to configure the UART pins to some other GPIOs that are not taken by the Segger IC (any free GPIOs, you can then change the config in the boards/ folder in Zephyr) and then you should be able to run on battery with the UART interfacing the remote Host.
How does exactly the "UART interface" appear to Linux when you are using FTDI? is it a UART device in dev/tty* ? Perhaps it's an issue with flow control? have you mapped the CTS and RTS lines correctly?

Media is changing so much and so fast these days. I find myself spending hours and hours in front of the computer watching, listening, writing and creating – and almost no time watching TV.
In my more radical (and long-hair) days, I did not think highly of TV. I was was quite fond of Jerry Mander's book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television. Many of my activist friends didn't have TVs – though, the serious activists used to keep a small black and white TV in the closet and pull it out only to watch media coverage of their activist antics. I think the Mander book still has some intellectual appeal and makes some worthwhile arguments against TV and, by extension, the infinitely more powerful forms of media that have eclipsed it.
But lately my attitude to TV is changing. Now that I am a parent in the Internet age, TV doesn't look so bad after all. It has lots of advantages over the new media: it's easier to control content and pedophiles are not lurking around every corner. And the quality of TV programming and production is still very high in comparison to the Internet. (Though, there are telltale signs that this is changing – just ask people who make films and television for a living.) My son watches hour after hour of video on YouTube of guys showing and talking about their Bakugan toys. While they are informative for him – a seven year old Bakugan enthusiast – the videos are amateurish at best. Some are not even in focus!
1. Home video blooper shows – The king of these is America's Funniest Videos (AFV) and it's good, clean family entertainment – assuming you don't mind watching people get hurt sometimes. There's something for everyone to laugh at. In a similar vein, lately we've been watching the Wipeout series which is kinda like AFV on steroids.
2. Science shows – One of my favourite kid shows of all time used to be Popular Mechanics for Kids (PMK). It's long since stopped producing, but reruns can still be found and it's main hosts, Elisha Cuthbert and Jay Baruchel, have gone on to successful movie careers. Another favourite in this category is How It's Made – a half-hour program that shows how common things are made. We all really seem to enjoy watching this kind of content and the discussions that often result are priceless.
3. Cooking shows – Everyone in my family knows I have a crush on Nigella, but we don't often watch her as a family. (Too racy, you could say.) We tend to watch Iron Chef or other cooking competition shows together. Cooking shows are dad's favourite because I get good ideas for daily dinners.
4. Home renovation and design shows – The kids really seem to like the Extreme Home Makeover series, but I must confess that I find it too contrived. Shows about renovating or redesigning are mom's favourite and we'll watch almost anything on the air with Sarah Richardson.
5. Sports – I don't watch much sports, but every once in a while my boy wants to have some "guy time" and watch football or something. We usually play a board game, eat snacks and drink beer (well, I do anyway). It's fun because if you know me you know how much I'm not really a guys guy. And the boy doesn't watch much – it's really just about some one-on-one time with dad.

Spencer Fullerton Baird ( — ) foi um ornitólogo e ictiólogo estadunidense.

Baird nasceu em Reading, Pensilvânia. Formou - se pela Faculdade de Dickinson, Carlisle, Pensilvânia em 1840. No ano seguinte fez uma excursão ornitológica pelas montanhas da Pensilvânia caminhando, de acordo com um dos seus biógrafos, 400 milhas em vinte e um dias e 60 milhas no último dia. Em 1838 conheceu John James Audubon, e daí por diante seus estudos foram em grande parte sobre ornitologia. Audubon deu uma parte da sua própria coleção de pássaros para ele.

Depois de estudar medicina durante um tempo, Baird tornou - se professor de História Natural na Faculdade de Dickinson em 1845, também assumiu a cadeira de química, e deu aulas de fisiologia e matemática. Esta variedade de trabalhos em uma faculdade pequena alargou o seu interesse científico, fato (pt: facto) que o caracterizou por toda a vida, e lhe fez talvez o homem mais representativo da ciência na América. Foi secretário - assistente da Instituição de Smithsonian, em Washington, D.C entre 1850 e 1878. Onde ele encorajou o trabalho de jovens naturalistas no Clube de Megatherium. Com a morte de Joseph Henry, passou a ocupar o cargo de secretário. Foi também o Comissário americano de Peixes e Pescarias de 1871 até a sua morte.

Enquanto oficial do Smithsonian, o trabalho de Baird incluía a supervisão dos trabalhadores em linhas extensivamente diferentes. Assim, excetuando a sua ajuda para com os outros, os seus próprios estudos e escritos publicados abrangem várias áreas como: iconografia, geologia, mineralogia, botânica, antropologia, zoologia geral, e, em particular, ornitologia; por vários anos ele editou um volume anual que resumia o progresso em todas as linhas científicas de investigação. Ele deu supervisão geral, entre 1850 e 1860, para várias expedições do governo (inclusive a Pacific Railroad Surveys) a fim de explorar cientificamente a parte ocidental dos Estados Unidos, preparando para eles um manual de Instrução de Coletas.

Baird, Spencer Fullerton

Raphael is excited to share the joys of music and movement with young children ages 2 to 12 as a music specialist in preschool and early elementary settings.
His goal is to develop children's fundamental musicality; their singing voice, their rhythmic sense, their listening skills and their expressiveness. He strives to impart a base in creative movement including locomotor skills, spacial awareness, making shapes and drama. He also emphasizes pro-social play throughout his classes.
Raphael accomplishes these goals by drawing inspiration from the tried and true traditions of Orff, Kodaly and Dalcroze as taught to him by the faculty of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and the Dalcroze Society of Canada. He has achieved the RCM's Advanced Diploma in Earlier Childhood Music Education, Level 2 Orff and 50-hour Dalcroze training.

House: House of Representatives
Portfolio: Finance and Deregulation
Commencement: The day of Royal Assent

To appropriate $222.098 million out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for expenditure in relation to the Parliamentary Departments.
The Parliamentary Service Act 1999 provides that the administration of the Parliament is undertaken by at least two parliamentary departments. The Department of the Senate and the House of Representatives (the chamber departments) are created by force of law. Other departments may be established or abolished by resolutions passed by each House.1 The third Parliamentary Department, the Department of Parliamentary Services, commenced operations in February 2004, following the amalgamation of the (then) Joint House Department with the Department of the Parliamentary Reporting Staff and the Parliamentary Library.
Financial implications
The Bill appropriates $222.098 million for the 2010-11 financial year. This compares to $145.506 million for 2009-10.2
1. Parliamentary Services Act 1999, subsection 54(2).
2. The actual amount appropriated by the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Act (No. 1) 2009-10 was $172.738 million. However, the $145.506 million figure is the ‗actual available appropriation' for 2009-10 quoted in Schedule 1 of the Bill, and thus a more accurate figure for comparison.

Department of Parliamentary Services 179.171 102.774
Total of Parliamentary Departments 222.098 145.506
Information extracted from Schedule 1 Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Bill (No.1) 2010-11.
While the overall comparative figures for 2010-11 and 2009-10 in Table 1 show an increase, this increase is due mainly to:
• the implementation of net cash appropriation arrangements for major asset acquisitions, that is, assets valued at more than $10 million3
• additional funding ($18.330 million) to upgrade physical security at Parliament House,4 and
• additional funding ($500 000) to enhance the capacity of the Parliamentary Library to assist non-Government parties in developing policies in the lead up to Federal
3. Net cash appropriation arrangements have been implemented as part of the Operation Sunlight reform agenda to increase budget transparency and accountability. For example, the Department of Parliamentary Services is reporting a loss for 2009-10 equivalent to the estimated unspent deprecation funding as at 30 June 2010. This amount was estimated at $27.232 million and therefore the 2009-10 actual appropriation was reduced by this amount from $118.165 million to $90.933 million.

elections.5 This is an innovative development, stemming from the Operation Sunlight reforms. As part of Operation Sunlight, the Minister for Finance proposed more open and transparent budgetary reforms to better improve the information provided to the Parliament.6 The Government has now proposed that the Parliamentary Library be provided further funding to enhance its capacity to assist non-government parties in developing policies in the lead up to Federal elections. To cover the next two federal elections, an extra $500 000 has been allocated to the Department of Parliamentary Services for this work—firstly in 2010-2011, and again in 2013-14.
Otherwise, there were no significant changes to the operating budgets for the three Parliamentary Departments.7
Main provisions
Clause 4 provides that the Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) may be used to interpret provisions of the Bill where necessary under section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Clause 6 states that the total appropriation for the Parliamentary Departments is $222.098 million. Schedule 1 to the Bill details the appropriations for each Parliamentary Department, a summary of which is reproduced in Table 1 in this Digest. The total appropriation includes payments for departmental items (clause 7), administered items (clause 8), administered assets and liabilities items (clause 9) and other departmental items (clause 10).8
Clause 11 provides that the responsible Presiding Officer may request the Finance Minister to make a written determination to reduce the appropriation for an item in the budget of a Parliamentary Department by an amount specified in the determination. Subclause 11(7) provides that any such determination by the Finance Minister may be disallowed by either House of Parliament in accordance with the provisions of section 42 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.
Clause 12 allows for the reduction in the appropriation for administered items. Under this provision, if the relevant Parliamentary Departmental annual report specifies that the amount required for the item is less than that originally anticipated, the appropriation is taken to have been reduced to the lesser amount.
Clause 13 deals with increases (‗advances') to appropriations due to unforseen and urgent circumstances. These advances are made via determinations by the responsible Presiding Officer. The maximum advance under clause 13 is a total of $300 000 for each of the chamber departments, and a total of $1 million for the Department of Parliamentary Services. These amounts are the same as those contained in the equivalent 2009-2010 Appropriation Act. Determinations under clause 13 are legislative instruments, but not subject to disallowance (subclause 13(6)).
Clause 14 lists certain determinations previously made under appropriation Acts, which shall not be rescinded, revoked, amended or varied on or after 1 July 2010.
Clause 16 appropriates funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund as necessary for the purposes of the Act, including the operation of the Act as affected by the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act), in particular sections 30 to 32 of the FMA Act.
8. The Explanatory Memorandum at paragraph 12 states that from 2010-11, departmental items include amounts specifically to meet costs associated with the replacement and capitalised maintenance of existing departmental assets valued at $10 million or less. Also the Appropriation Bills no longer recognise a class of item known as ―previous years' outputs‖ within ―other departmental items‖, as the concept is now integrated within appropriations for departmental items.

Here's why 2019 is the year to quit smoking... and start vaping! – dank Vapes!
Here's why 2019 is the year to quit smoking... and start vaping!
As another year begins I'm sure we will all take some time for self-reflection, self-improvement and will attempt to adopt a new healthy habit or two!
This year, my plan is to give up alcohol for good and run to the gym at least twice a week - both resolutions I attempted ( and miserably failed) exactly 12 months ago!
However, a new habit I did find really easy was to never smoke dry herbs again. I've been vaping now for two years and feel all the better for it. Below are some reasons you should do the same!
Your Lungs Will Love You.
Only the most ardent dry herb advocates will still argue that smoking has never been proven to cause lung cancer. If we are being rational, I think we can all agree that smoking anything is not great for your health.
When you burn herbs it combusts at over 1000c and produces over 100 carcinogens. Over time this causes a build-up of tar in the lungs over time and will possibly lead to chronic bronchitis. Vaporizers solve this problem.
Instead of burning dry herbs, vaporizers work by heating them to a point where it is just hot enough to evaporate the active ingredients - for example, CBD.
Most importantly, the temperatures from vaping are cool enough to avoid the physical combustion of the plant matter which contains the carcinogens. As a result, people who vape either dry herbs or CBD E Liquids are less likely to be exposed to the toxins that are found in smoke.
You Will Smell Less and be more discreet.
Everyone who has smoked joints knows that the smell can sometimes attract the unwanted attention of nosy neighbours!
When you smoke, the compounds and the plant matter are released as part of the thick smoke; this is what produces the smell.
Vaping herbs still produces an odour, of course. However, the plant matter stays in the oven. Therefore, the small from vaping is tends to not stick to walls and clothes due to there being no actual smoke.
A good dry herb vaporizer makes it easier to enjoy your herbs when you're out and about but don't want everybody to know what you're doing!
Further to producing very little smell, vaporizers such as the Relax or Pax look so sleek that you can pull out a vape in public and those 'not in the know' will not recognise what they are.
Your herb will taste better.
Vaping has really turned me into a 'cannaseur'. I can recognise individual tasting notes when comparing different strains of dry herbs.
Terpenes determine the taste, smell and medicinal benefits of each strain of dry herbs. However, unfortunately, they are destroyed at temperatures produced by smoking. Vaping allows you to adjust temperature settings and enjoy every single flavour note in your herbs.
You can control your high.
These days pretty much any vaporizer has the ability to adjust the temperature; doing so will give you the ability to control the effects your herbs have on your mind, body and soul!
Cannabinoids are compounds that naturally occur in the cannabis plant. They react with specific cannabinoid receptors in the human body and have various effects on the brain and central nervous system.
THC and CBD are two of the most well-known cannabinoids but there are over 100 different cannabinoids that have their own individual effects.
Each cannabinoid evaporates at a different temperature. Therefore, vaporizers with adjustable temperature provide a degree of control over the effects their herbs have.
Generally, lower temperatures provide a cerebral, energetic effect whilst high temperatures produces a sedative, body effect.
You will avoid ingesting insecticides and fungicides.
Keen gardeners these days have to resort to a wide range of insecticides and fungicides to help protect budding plants.
Unfortunately, these will be inhaled when smoking. Most of these chemicals evaporate at temperatures of 250c and above.
Again, because vaping avoids these extreme temperatures, those chemicals are left in your oven chamber with your spent herb!
Nonetheless, where possible I wouldn't advise vaping or smoking anything containing fungicides.
You will spend less money.
In short, you can buy less and consume more!
When you smoke dry herbs you are literally setting your herbs on fire and destroying all of those yummy terpenes and the cannabinoids before you even have a chance to inhale them!
Furthermore, a joint will still burn between hits; even a fast smoker will lose 10%-20% of there herb while they are inhaling and exhaling.
A vaporizers max temperature is typically around 230c. This is above the temperature required to effectively evaporate cannabinoids but below the temperature, they begin to denature.
A collaborative study by NORML found that smoking dry herbs allows ingestion of just 25% of any available THC compared to vaping which allowed ingestion of 45%; vaping essentially makes your herbs last almost twice as long!


Our daily lives are full of stress, anxiety and pressure. There's never enough time to do the things we must do, much less time to do the things we would like to do. How often do we take a moment, to really look around, to see what's in front of us, to see what's in the shadows; to see the special treasures, the odd adventure. Sometimes I do take the time. Sometimes I push everything else away and just look. Sometimes I'm even lucky enough to have my camera with me.
Finding something magical, something that changes the way I see life, something worth photographing, is like finding a treasure. When I was young I always looked down as I walked. I expected to see something new, to find something special. I find I still have a lot in common with that hopeful child. Fortunately, I found that my camera was a way into other worlds; into smaller, more precious and unusual places.
I like to photograph man made spaces while they are undergoing change, while they're being renovated, demolished or altered by natural disaster. Part of the excitement is in catching the moment before it is complete. No one else will see that space the same way. Traditional images of beauty, "Kodak Picture Spots", if you will, hold no interest for me. I want to see more than that. I want to be engaged, mystified, challenged. I want to see signs of something more, something better, something new.
I photographed the images for this show in black and white using a medium format camera. After the images were printed, I altered them with photographic oils. The carefully applied coloring adds to the fictional quality and hopefully makes real the world I witness.
Our lives continue to be difficult, pressures increase and deadlines continue to exist. I do, however, feel unusually lucky to be able to stop and look and photograph these incredible places in all of their horrible and wonderful splendor.

Hang Bac street - birthplace of Hanoi's silver jewellery

Steps to create silver jewellery in Hang Bac street (Photo: Vietnam Pictorial)
Hanoi (VNA) - Hang Bac is viewed as the "most expensive" among Hanoi's 36 old streets. In the past, people living on this street relied on three major jobs, involving silver ingot and jewellery making, and money exchange.
Those three jobs originated from three craft villages famous for making gold and silver jewellery in the north of Chau Khe in Hung Yen province, Dong Xam in Thai Binh province and Dinh Cong in Hanoi.
In the 15th century, Minister of Interior Luu Xuan Tin, a native of Chau Khe village of Hung Yen, was assigned by a court of the later Le Dynasty (1428 – 1789) to set up a workshop making silver ingots in the Thang Long imperial city, which is currently Hanoi.
At that time, silver ingots and gold bars were used as money. Tin brought artisans from Chau Khe to the capital to establish the workshop. After a while, along with making ingots, artisans began making patterns for gold and silver jewellery.
In the early years of the 19th century, under the reign of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802–1945), the workshop was relocated to the central imperial city of Hue. Most of Chau Khe artisans remained in Thang Long and set up a community at the area which is now Hang Bac street.
From then on, artisans of Dinh Cong and Dong Xam craft villages came to settle down in the street. That marked the birth of Hang Bac street which specialises in crafting gold and silver jewellery in Hanoi.
Along with the manufacturing and trading of silver, shops in the street exchanged silver ingots for chips. Therefore, in the colonial rule of France, the street's name in French was Rue de changeurs (silver-exchange street).
Various sophisticated gold and silver jewellery works were crafted by artisans in Hang Bac street. In technical terms, experts classify their products into two types, including those without patterns such as rings and women and children's earrings and bracelets, and those with patterns.
Artisans in Hang Bac street usually make typical patterns in their gold and silver jewellery, with four mythical creatures of dragon, kylin, turtle and phoenix being the most popular. The image of dragon is crafted with the nimble hands of the artisans under a number of themes. Different styles such as eight creatures, eight valuables and eight types of fruits, among others, are also meticulously crafted in gold and silver plates and trays.
On gold and silver objects, artisans could also carve the images of human or plants symbolising people's virtues in the eastern culture of truc (small bamboo), mai (ochna flower), orchid and chrysanthemum.
In all carved jewellery made of gold and silver, there are two prominent characteristics, which are artistic form and meticulous and lifelike patterns.
Foreign tourists show special interest when touring Hang Bac street which house various sophisticated silver stuff (Photo: Vietnam Pictorial)
At present, the street stretches only about 0.5 km, but there are hundreds of ateliers of all sizes established by silversmiths and goldsmiths. Many of those shops are equipped with machines of modern technologies from foreign countries, yet there are still families who maintain the traditional method of manually crafting jewellery.
Not only keeping the job which is passed down to by ancestors, residents in Hang Bac street are also able to maintain the traditional lifestyle of the people in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Many households are good at doing business and become rich, but they still lead a humble life and value trust, and stand ready to support others in life as well as in doing business./.

Q: How to get Facebook AccessToken? I have a Facebook Session.but it is not open. i tried to get AccessToken as follows
Session.getActiveSession().getAccessToken();

but it does not return any thing.how can i get the AccessToken?

A: well, as written in the official documentation, you need to have a UiLifecycleHelper that will make sure to create a valid session for every fragment that interacts with the Facebook SDK.
what you should do is override the life cycle methods in your fragment (or activity) and then Session.getActiveSession() will return a session if there is one.

A: You almost never need to extract the actual access token anymore. Any requests to the graph API can be done with the Request class and a Session object.

Cognitive dissonance is impacting civil servant pay
Contributor: Gerry Brown | Published: 20 August 2018
Gerry Brown 17 August 2018
Recently, we learnt that more than one in three senior DIT civil servants received performance-related bonus of up to £15,000 each (with an average pay out of £9,600). While on the other, three unions representing the rank-and-file of 200,000 public employees sought a judicial review over the government's failure to consult staff on pay levels. Contributor Gerry Brown, Author – The Independent Director: The Non-Executive Director's Guide to Effective Board Presence.
Early on in the research of the recent The Kakabadse Report (from Henley Business School), civil servant remuneration was one of the issues that took centre stage. Numerous senior civil servants reported the challenge they face filling posts due to the poor levels of pay on offer. Even senior civil servants highlighted the challenge of living in London on Civil Service pay: one Permanent Secretary stated, "I did not have my own house until I was 49 years old."
Another frequently expressed frustration in The Kakabadse report was the rapid turnover of civil servants, especially those who hold a particular expertise directly related to a project or programme of delivery. One key reason for the rapid turnover of talented individual civil servants is the prospect of an increase in pay and career progression. Being appointed to priority and high-profile projects allows the individual to rapidly learn how to address stretching challenges, which means they are better placed to be a favoured candidate for promotion within the Civil Service or for jobs in the private or third sectors.
Many civil servants also highlighted that for departments with multibillion-pound budgets, the levels of remuneration are low in relation to comparable responsibilities in the private sector. A considerable number reported joining the private sector, or intending to do so.
Gerry Brown comments, "Not only do the comparatively poor and uncompetitive levels of civil service pay ensure talented individuals leave for the private sector. Worse still, the almost complete absence of joined up thinking by government across the sector compounds matters by perpetuating or increasing salary & rewards inequalities and differentials through its own inconsistently applied approaches to pay policy. It is particularly hard to justify paying such DTI bonuses for securing new trade deals when – looked at overall – the number of jobs created and secured by foreign investment fell by 7 percent."
Brown further notes, "If we are to continue to train and retain the brightest and best as well as motivate our public servants to rise to numerous current challenges in the service of our country, the Teresa May government urgently needs to get to grips with some corporate governance basics over its pay, remuneration and rewards policies."

A still sealed mono copy of Bob Dylan's 1968 LP John Wesley Harding.
Offered for sale is a still sealed original mono pressing of John Wesley Harding by Bob Dylan.
About this copy: This copy is an original 1968 mono pressing and is still sealed in its original plastic inner sleeve. The record has never been opened or played. The cover does have some wear at the corners and some ring wear on the front, grading Very Good.
Mono copies of this album have been hard to find for years, and sealed ones rarely come up for sale. While the mono Bob Dylan albums have been recently reissued, the reissues were made from tapes that are more than forty years old. If you want to hear this album in mono the way it sounded the day it was first released, this pressing is for you.
Background: Bob Dylan's 1968 LP John Wesley Harding was his first album since 1966's Blonde on Blonde and it didn't disappoint. While it introduced the world to the track later made famous by Jimi Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower, it also had the distinction of being the last Bob Dylan album to be released in both mono and stereo in the United States. As such, it was only available in mono for a few short months before being deleted.


Wastes from oil palm plantations and mining operations were the greatest polluters of the environmet in 2010, the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi), said. "Oil palm plantations ranked first as a producer of pollutants, followed by mining," said Mukri Friatna, head of Walhi`s advocacy department, in Jakarta, on Monday. Walhi noted that there were 31 pollution cases involving oil palm plantations and 19 cases involving coal mining and seven cases involving gold mining.
The reported pollution cases, according to Friatna, did not include pollution of the Citarum and other urban rivers such as those in Jakarta. In 2010, there were 75 cases of river pollution including 65 rivers and five marine regions polluted by liquid wastes from private and state-owned companies. Pollution of those rivers and marine regions had impacted on the high contents of biological oxygen demand (BOD.), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and acidity (PH) surpassing the specified quality standards so that the water is not consumable or able to used.
In addition, the pollution is extremely hazardous on the preservation of the environment as well as becoming a serious threat on human health and safety. The high level of pollution that surpassing quality standards can kill fish, marine biota and other micro organism due to the absence of oxygen. Out of the whole pollution cases, according to Friatna, only 14 cases that had been brought to courts, despite the law on the environment protection and management, Law Number 32 Year 2009, outlines a very clear regulation on such matters.


In previous posts I've touched on some new treatments I will be undergoing completely separately from what is available in the UK.
I feel like now is the time to talk in more detail about the two biggest ones, one of which is only a week away and the other starts at the beginning of next month.
They are both at the forefront of cutting-edge cancer treatment across the world.
They are also both designed to prevent Glioblastoma from spreading or returning if you are lucky enough to go into remission which I'm fully determined to do. To give a wider picture the rate of Glioblastoma reoccurring is mostly inevitable so even if I get through this now, I am very likely to face it all again.
These treatments are leading the way to prevent this happening.
The first is a device called Optune which involves wearing adhesive patches known as transducer arrays on my head (after my hair has been completely shaved off on Monday 15thApril) which creates low-intensity, wave like electric fields call Tumour Treating Fields (TTFields) to the location of the Glioblastoma tumour. These TTFields interfere with the tumour cell division by slowing or stopping them from dividing and therefore growing. It may even destroy the cells.
The second is a personalised immunotherapy vaccine developed and provided in Germany. It will involve me going to Tübingen once a month for 2 years for injections and very close monitoring. Thankfully Tübingen is meant to be beautiful and who knows, with all this new space in my head maybe I'll learn German? If anyone wants to know more information on the vaccine itself I'll be doing another post with more details once I've gone there for the first time in May.
Both have been very big decisions which have taken an immense amount of consideration due to the huge lifestyle changes they involve amongst sadly big financial considerations. Every doubt however has been banished every time I look at my daughter and remember how I promised I would leave no stone unturned especially if the potential benefits outweigh any side effects and life-style changes.
Clearly for most people the most dramatic physical change will be me losing my hair although I will be able to wear breathable wigs and head coverings. I'm still undecided about these however as the idea of looking like an extra from a sci-fi film could be more appealing. It's definitely one way to walk down the street or get on an aeroplane.
Jokes aside I'm not going to lie and say I'm not nervous, in fact as with all things new, I'm really scared which is almost definitely why I've been feeling so up and down recently. Both can be stopped immediately if any side effects occur but with anything medical it's always incredibly unnerving not knowing how you'll personally react. I just have to keep telling myself that as neither are actually dangerous I've got nothing to lose, apart from my hair which can grow back, so why would I not at least try them when I am fortunate enough to be able to do so.
With regards to my hair I have decided to firstly donate it to a children's charity called Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children with cancer and secondly to raise money and awareness for another charity very close to my heart called ACT For Cancer.
The story behind this is that devastatingly what I have learnt in my journey since I was first diagnosed only a few days before Xmas 2018, is that the vast majority of these cutting edge options and trials for ALL cancers, not just brain cancer, aren't yet available in the UK and therefore most people are unable to access them which actually translates, shockingly, to the UK having one of the worst prognosis results for many cancers within the developed world.
For me, luckily, I am in a very fortunate position to have access to some of these options and even just advice available in other countries which apart from making me so emotional at how grateful I am it also makes me feel very guilty and desperately sad that others can't.
So whilst I'm not asking for help to pay for my own treatment I am asking for help in raising awareness of ACT For Cancer and their mission and if possible for a donation, however much you can afford, to help them with their cause. As 1 in 2 people will be affected by cancer in the UK just think how you'll be investing in your life or someone very close to you and our future generations actual lives too.
Thank you and I promise to keep updating on how it all goes.
Thank you so much for all your honesty. You are teaching me how to live better and more fully. You are also teaching me how to be vulnerable. You are inspiring and remarkable.
The awareness of other treatments and outcomes is a really important cause to support and I admire you for promoting it.
