The barkada went out to dinner that night. To his friends' relief, Phil came along. But he mostly kept to himself and only spoke when asked, while the rest reminisced about their high school memories.
"How come you ended up being an architect? We always thought you would become an accountant," Drew asked Dimitri, pouring iced tea into his glass.
"Well, Girlie stole that dream away from me," Dimitri quipped in between munching crab legs.
Everyone laughed at that, even Girlie who threw a kalamansi peel his way. Dimitri was the mathematician in high school, always busy solving more complex problems at the back of the class.
His Lolo Lino, the parent he grew up with, was especially proud of him. It was Lolo Lino who pinned Dimitri's medal during the boy scout ceremony, who assured him that no kapre resided on the mango tree in their backyard. It was Lolo Lino who would draw houses and buildings with him during free time, who played fencing with Dimitri using his twisted cane as his sword.
"Was it when Lolo Lino…?" Brenda trailed off as soon as Phil looked up. Girlie looked at her pointedly, as if saying "Don't open that door, girl!"
"It was. Freshman year," Dimitri recovered. "Pain also still as fresh." He then pretended to slice his chest with his right hand sprinkled with grains of rice, in an attempt to lighten up the mood. There was no laughter this time, only awkward silence as the rest of his friends stared at their plates.
It was during his first college semestral break that Dimitri got a call from his uncle. He rushed to Manila from Puerto Galera like it was a stone's throw away. Inside the Manila Doctor's Hospital, Dimitri saw his beloved Lolo Lino lying on a bed, wearing an oxygen mask and visibly weak.
"Hijo," said the old man, trying to caution his grandchild to go near him but unable to lift his arm.
Dimitri rushed to his side. "Lo, are you alright?" he asked in a small voice.
"Do you remember the times when we drew pictures of houses and buildings, hijo? Those are some of my life's best memories."
That was the last day Dimitri saw his grandfather alive—one of Dimitri's most painful memories.
Armed with his Lolo's last words to him, Dimitri transferred to a new course, graduating with a degree in architecture years after.
He worked hard and ended up with an offer to design a building in Dubai. The firm was so impressed with the innovative and unique concept that Dimitri was given the opportunity to name the structure. Today, a 73-storey tower with a 90-degree twist called the Cayan Tower—a portmanteau for Lolo Lino's full name, Catalino Yangga—stood in the middle of the city.
Just then, Drew's phone burst into a melody.
"Another night, another day/ what can I say/ You're still the same old brand new you/ You break your promises in two/ What can I do/ When you're the same old brand new y—"
"Oh my god, Drew!" Brenda shrieked. "A1, still??"
Drew scrambled out of his seat with his phone, away from Brenda's prying, away from all the ears. He pressed the Answer button and said, "Hello?"

Turner Investments Kills Troubled Funds, Pivots to ETFs
Down from $30 billion in assets to $150 million, the firm is closing its fundamental growth products and has purchased ETF specialist Elkhorn Capital.
By Amy Whyte
Growth equity manager Turner Investments Holdings has acquired Elkhorn Capital Group, an exchange-traded funds firm based in Wheaton, Illinois, the companies announced Wednesday.
The purchase marks Turner's attempt to reinvent itself, leaving behind troubled fundamental growth-oriented strategies for what it called a "more disciplined, factor- and model-based approach with an emphasis on risk management."
Turner plans to shut down its three existing mutual funds and return remaining assets to investors. ETF products, primarily, are to take their place. Elkorhn managed roughly $180 million in exchange-traded products as of the acquisition.
At its peak, Turner Investments managed more than $30 billion, but assets under management have dwindled to roughly $150 million, according to a spokesman. Protracted post-recession underperformance led to investor withdrawals and the departures of several executives and portfolio managers.
Last year, Turner merged with Veracen, and began to pivot to factor-based investing.
As part of the purchase, Ben Fulton, founder and CEO of Elkhorn, will become head of global ETFs. Jordan Golz, a product development and research associate at Elkhorn, will lead ETF product and business development.
Turner Investments has in recent years developed "a number of multi-factor and multi-asset class investment processes," according to a statement by founder and CIO Bob Turner. With the addition of Elkhorn, he said the firm will gain propriety technology and expertise to "deliver enhanced investment performance and value."
The new product suite will cover all asset classes, the firm said, including fixed income, equities, commodities, and alternatives, as well as environmental, social, and governance-oriented options.
Industrywide, many active managers are struggling as investors opt out in favor of lower-fee, passive products.
[II Deep Dive: Moody's to Active Managers: You're In Trouble]
Consultant Casey Quirk predicted earlier this year that these challenges would result in more merger and acquisition activity in asset management.
As of the first quarter of 2017, 41 deals had been announced, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, including Softbank's $3.3 billion purchase of Fortress Investment Group and the mega-merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management.
"Our industry has undergone significant changes, with investors becoming both more fee sensitive and more risk averse," Fulton said in a statement. "This merger provides the tools and expertise for Turner to deliver more predictable returns with enhanced value."

A roadside bomb killed 12 civilians, including seven women in eastern Afghanistan Saturday, officials said, the latest violence in the country as US-led troops prepare to leave after 13 years of war, AFP reports.
The victims were travelling in Giro district of Ghazni province after a wedding ceremony when the bomb ripped through their vehicle, district governor Abdullah Khairkhwah told AFP.
"Twelve civilians were killed, seven of them were women, and the rest were men, as their minivan vehicles hit a roadside bomb," Khairkhwah said.
He added that two other civilians were also wounded in the explosion.
The district governor said the death toll might rise.
Ghazni provincial governor spokesman Shafiq Nang confirmed the incident.
Roadside bombs are commonly used by Taliban insurgents to target Afghan and foreign forces but often cause casualties to civilians.
Attacks that kill civilians usually go unclaimed and there was no immediate admission of responsibility for the deaths.
Afghanistan is in the middle of presidential elections, with former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah and ex-World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani due to compete in a head-to-head run-off vote next month.
Both candidates have promised to bring peace after decades of conflict. But they will have to tackle security without NATO combat troops, all 51,000 of whom will pull out by the end of this year.


Discover the wonderful whiskies of the Isle of Islay with a four day tour from Inverness that allows for two full days to explore up to six of the malt whisky distilleries on Islay.
Day 1 - Our four day Islay and West Highlands whisky tour begins at Inverness where we follow the ancient geological fault line that cuts through the Highlands - the Great Glen - towards Fort William, with scenic stops at Loch Ness and Fort Augustus on the way. After a refreshement break at Fort William we continue south to Oban where we visit the famous Oban distillery. The late afternoon takes us south through Kilmartin Glen towards Kennacraig where we board the evening ferry for a 2¼ hour sailing across to the Isle of Islay and the first of our three overnight stays on the island.
Day 2 and 3 - We have two full days on Islay and the itinerary can be adapted around your tastes and personal choices. Generally we aim to enjoy two standard distillery whisky tours each day and if possible add in a third distllery for tastings. Alternatively, you may wish to take an extended distillery tour of your favourite whisky - just let us know and we can design a specific itinerary to suit.
Choose from Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain and Caol Ila (my favourite).
Day 4 - We leave the Isle of Islay on the morning sailing back to the mainland. It is then a scenic drive north to Oban where we enjoy a late lunch. The afternoon takes us through Fort William and along the Great Glen back towards Inverness. Throughout our return drive we break the journey with a number of scenic viewpoint stops including Spean Bridge and Inverlochy Castle.
We have some flexibility with the itinerary over the four days and it can be adapted (if possible) to suit specific requests regarding distilleries or historical attractions.
Distilleries have a silent season when there is no whisky production for a number of weeks (generally during the summer months). Distillery tours still operate but without production in the background.
Advance payment is required for most distillery tour fees.
Tours are exclusively for your private group only (up to 3 persons) and prices are per tour. We only offer private tours and do not combine individuals or separate groups - if your group size is less than 3 the advertised tour price still applies. Prices include all taxes, a driver/guide and ferry tickets but exclude your accommodation costs, distillery tour and tasting fees, entrance fees and meals.
We recommend that you book accommodation on the Isle of Islay (Day 1, 2 and 3). Whilst we do not book accommodation for you we are happy to help with advice on where to stay and eat on Islay.
Islay is extremely popular and much of the accommodation (which can be limited) sells out far in advance - we would recommend at a minimum you book this at least six month before. We accept bookings up to two years in advance for this tour.

Michele Siqueiros, president of the higher education advocacy group Campaign for College Opportunity, said the growth in applications is inevitable with California's changing demographics, as well as record high school graduation rates and the demands of the economy.
"Regardless of the cost, the value of a college degree is just pretty clear to young people," she said.
But the rising cost of a UC or CSU education may deter students who are admitted from actually attending, Siqueiros added. "Students and families across the state are not going to check that box and send their first tuition check in until they're sure they can afford it."
Tuition decisions made by the universities and funding for financial aid from the state, she said, "will affect who gets to go."
It's become increasingly competitive at UC, where admissions at the premier Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses dipped below 20 percent of applicants for the first time last year. Applications from high school seniors were up to 158,146 this fall, more than double the number a decade ago.
At CSU, first-time freshman applications jumped more than 4 percent to 185,125, while transfers dipped slightly, by about half a percent.
The most popular CSU campuses were Long Beach, which received 83,415 applications, and San Diego, which received 80,606. Applications to Sacramento State were up 5.5 percent from last year, to 34,271. Campus-specific data for UC will be available in January.
Both systems boasted of their growth in Latino applicants, who now make up the largest percentage of applicants from California.

Toppa Top 10: The Hottest Haitian Women
They characterize fifty two p.c of Haiti's 10 million individuals, and practically 50 p.c of them are engaged in economic exercise exterior the home. Small businesses within the nation are primarily owned by women who assist a number of households with their incomes. The Haitian women own brilliant, unique and very often underrated magnificence.
Victims still struggle 10 years after Haiti earthquake
Rather than remain silent, she bravely encouraged the Women's League to publish a letter of protest signed by 36 women, changing into a symbol of the resistance. The Duvalier regime remained undeterred, and 4 years after being attacked, she was dragged to the infamous Fort Dimanche jail and compelled to denounce her accusations towards haitian mail order brides the government so as to quell worldwide criticism. Cécile was a mambo, a Vodou high priestess, whose major duty was maintaining the rituals and relationship between the spirits and the community.
Haitian artists and sculptors are known for his or her unique pictures and hanging colours, in fact, it is likely one of the most popular arts in the area. One well-liked art kind is a sculpture created from cut, pounded and painted scrap metallic. Tap-taps, brightly painted pickup vehicles fitted with benches and coated tops, is both a way of transportation and traveling art. Painted screens, papier-mâché art, wood carvings, basketwork, pottery, and painted wooden packing containers are prominent crafts. Oral literature is plentiful and consists of songs, proverbs, and riddles.
Haiti's border with the Dominican Republic [DR] is an arena of heightened battle between the government and tens of thousands of Haitians who cross into the DR each week to buy wholesale items for re-sale in Haiti. The authorities increased import taxes on items favoured by road retailers, a transfer that targets the least powerful distributors who're tremendous-taxed while rich importers and hotel house owners engaged in the vacationer commerce receive beneficiant tax breaks. Customs agents have elevated border inspections and are authorised to confiscate gadgets for which street merchants can't pay the exorbitant customized duties or that haven't been declared. Women often depend on loans from moneylenders to purchase stock at sky-excessive % interest rates. These onerous practices are countered by the Haitian tradition of sol, a apply of mutual support whereby women contribute to a collective fund and take turns utilizing the pooled capital.
Kreyòl is the language of every day conversation; it's most probably spoken in the mountains. Only educated adults or secondary faculty college students converse French, although with various levels of fluency and accuracy. Knowledge of French has turn into a sign of social class in Haiti; those who converse French might shun those that do not.
Currently, HWHR offers comprehensive and culturally sensitive packages that embody neighborhood schooling, supportive companies and neighborhood organizing. Over the past decade, HWHR has additionally provided solidarity support to communities in Haiti to recover and rebuild within the wake of natural and man-made disasters. As immigrants subject to cultural variations and unfamiliar with the obtainable authorized protections in the United States, Boston's rising group of Haitian women within the late 20th century have been significantly weak to entrapment in abusive relationships.
Domestic Violence Resources at AFAB
But women in a number of the hardest hit communities have already swung into action. Despite a lack of second-technology Haitian women within the membership, AFAB continues to develop as a neighborhood useful resource and is at present seeking to broaden its six-unit housing facility into a thirty-unit growth. As Carline Desire places it, the organization is "small in size but huge in impression." Indeed, the Association of Haitian Women has used its thirty years of organizing and advocacy to achieve a seat at the desk for Boston's Haitian community and for Haitian women in particular. The phrase "KAFANM," which adorns the working heart of the Association of Haitian Women can be translated as "the house of Haitian women." This translation reflects the organization's concern about housing problems faced by Haitian women in Boston.
Jour du Drapeau (Flag Day on May 18) is commemorated with a parade held in entrance of the palace; college students from various colleges participate. For over 100 years, Haitians have composed and carried out classical music. Older nonetheless is the traditional music of the Haitian peasantry and lower classes.
Kreyòl is a unique combination of French, Taino, English, Spanish, and various African languages. It is much like creole spoken on some other Caribbean islands, corresponding to Guadeloupe and Martinique.
It is also a part of a global picture of kid slavery and classes discovered on the native degree can – and must – be applied worldwide. Some experts I spoke to in Haiti advised me the actual number could possibly be over 500,000 – that's approximately 13% of Haitian children.
More on the platform's goals can be discovered on the website (shebuildsinitiative.com). The program grew when Jaeger encountered Haitian women in search of a way to earn a residing.

Q: Yammer does not return every message in group Using the following endpoint with the group id and the older_than paging parameter
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages/in_group/[group_id].json?older_than=[msgid(19)]
This does not return every message in that group... it skips messages!
This is a paid network that I am testing, the API is pretty much useless if it does not provide all the messages. Can anyone confirm this limitation!

A: Using the 'older_than' parameter to try to get all messages isn't going to work:
Reference https://stackoverflow.com/a/19107426/4099849

If you attempt to iterate over messages you will hit some limits. These limits are technical in nature and you would need to revert to the search API to find much older messages. Unfortunately you will have to put up with these limitations if you are dealing with the free version of Yammer as the data export is only available with the paid version.

Assuming you're trying to do some sort of analytics, have a look at the Yammer Data Export API.

A: There is a similar question : Yammer API - missing messages
The ansnwer is the same and his not acceptable !
When using /api/v1/messages/about_topic/ I get messages not returned by
/api/v1/messages.json
or
/api/v1/messages/in_group
My script respect the API Rate limits and the missing messages are not older than others.
There is something wrong in the API and it must be fixed.
My company is paying for Yammer and expect a reliable API.

A: If you want all messages inside a group,use below mentioned REST API without all parameters.Then it will list all messages present inside that particular group.

NearIT at Droidcon Italy
NearIT has been integrated in the official app to send geolocalized notifications and for a gaming experience through the beacons interaction. 2100 interactions has been recorded on the first day and 1750 on the second: a total amount of 3850 interactions.
Droidcon Italy app: How it works
Once the downloaded app is opened for the first time, the onboarding asks users to give the permissions necessary for proximity marketing to work. The same app was also delivering information about the contest that was taking place during the event.
Let's now have a look more in depth about to the main features of the app and to the benefits for the users as well as for the coordinating staff.
Welcome and Goodbye
A geofence centered on the Lingotto building (where the convention was taking place) with a 1Km range allowed to reach all the app users when they were entering or leaving the area. Therefore, once they were entering the convention centre they received a welcome notification with a different content on each day. In the same way, when they were leaving the area they received a goodbye message.
Thanks to the presence of this geofence it was possible to track how many of the app users visualized the welcome message at any time interval.
Informative notifications
Together with the Droidcon team we decided to place beacons at each entrance of the rooms where the speeches took place. With these beacons it was possible to send informative contextual notifications about the current speeches in the rooms to attendees with the app in foreground that were passing by.
Once users received these notifications they could decide to tap it to read the additional information about the speech. We sent a total of 220 contextual notifications, 10% of which generated interest in the attendee.
We want to highlight that it was deliberately chosen not to profile users. This choice was mostly driven by the fact that Droidcon Italy is an extremely sectorial event for Android developers and thus attendees had very similar profiles and interests.
Profiling users would have been redundant and non functional, given that all attendees had a clear interest in receiving information about what was happening around them.
Contest and Gamification
Users entering in the convention area were invited to do a "check-in" at all the sponsors' stands to enter in the Droidcon contest. By placing their smartphone with the Droidcon app in foreground close the 11 beacons on the stands, attendees entered the contest to win an exclusive gadget.
This was a very simple but fun idea that succeeded in engaging attendees (we registered more than 700 check-ins!) with a gamification experience and with the promise of a final exclusive prize.
Which advantages for the Event manager with NearIT?
Integrating the official Droidcon app with NearIT led to several benefits, first of all concerning the analytics. Let's thus dive into the benefits of each proximity activities.
NearIT allowed to monitor and count how many people received welcome and goodbye notifications and also how many people tapped on these notifications. We could get clear data and statistics for each of the 4 recipes planned (two different welcome and goodbye notifications). With this information the event coordinators were able to clearly monitor in and out flows in proximity of the location.
It was also possible to have data on the number of check-ins at each stand, making it possible to evaluate the most "popular" stands. This information was extremely interesting for the event coordinators who could understand the areas with more visitors and the ones with less visitors, maybe because less accessible to attendees. The informative notifications provided interesting information as well. They could tell in fact how many people saw the notifications and how many tapped to see the additional material. As a consequence, the staff could see which speeches proved more interesting for the attendees.
Droidcon clearly showed how an easy and intuitive platform such as NearIT could be wisely used to increase the engagement at events. We tracked 2100 interactions on the first day and 1750 on the second day for a total of 3850 interactions with attendees. These numbers are a cristal clear proof that similar experiences can have a great impact in this type of context.
