Labour Market, Scottish Economy, UK Economy
The importance of being cautious… new labour market data today
The latest labour market data released this morning put the Scottish employment rate at 74.8%, up +1.4% on the quarter, while the unemployment rate dipped -0.6% to 4.2%.
At the same time headline UK metrics moved in the opposite direction, with the employment rate at 75.2%, down -0.5%, and the unemployment rate at 4.9%, up +0.7%.
While some will look at the latest data and reach a conclusion about the relative effect of the pandemic on the Scottish economy compared to that of other parts of UK, we need to be cautious about doing so at the moment.
So, what is going on?
One thing to make clear at the outset is that with furlough support continuing, we've yet to see the inevitable shakeout in the labour market that we know is coming. Rather than finding themselves unemployed, or at risk of unemployment, many people remain on furlough; at the end of September over 180,000 people in Scotland were still on furlough. Figure 1.
Figure 1: Furlough employments under CJRS
It is also important to note that despite a fall in the headline measure of unemployment, the claimant count continued to rise slightly in the latest data, with the number of people claiming unemployment related benefits up well over 80% since this time last year, with over 214,000 people currently in this situation in Scotland. Figure 2.
Figure 2: Claimant count, thousands
In a similar way, data from HMRC on the number of people registered for PAYE in Scotland continued to show sizeable drops relative to the same time last year. Figure 3.
Figure 3: HMRC Real-time PAYE information, month on month % change
On wider indicators of what is going on coming in from the more timely data for the UK as a whole we see a number of challenges emerging.
There has been a large decline in the number of young people in employment with associated rise in youth unemployment. Figure 4.
Figure 4: Youth (16 – 24) unemployment rate, UK, %
While hours worked continues to increase, it remains well below where it was at the end of last year, and the same is true of vacancies – the overall number is up but still well below pre-pandemic levels. Figure 5.
Figure 5: Weekly hours worked, UK, Millions
We are also continuing to see a rise in redundancies across the UK, with almost 370,000 recorded between August and October. Again, the group most affected by these redundancies are younger workers – likely reflecting how concentrated these are in the services sectors like accommodation and food. Figure 6.
Figure 6: Redundancies, UK, thousands
While some will look at the latest data and reach a conclusion about the relative effect of the pandemic on the Scottish economy compared to that of other parts of UK, this is ill advised.
Firstly, these data are but one data point, and as always it is important to be cautious about concluding too much on the back of one set of data. Scottish labour market data can be volatile given its smaller sample size. Just in the same way that we shouldn't read too much into any spike up in employment today, we shouldn't read too much into any sharp fall in the next quarter.
Secondly, because of the furlough and other schemes that are in place to support employment, we are still months away from seeing the full effect of the pandemic on the labour market.
Thirdly, the data coming in through the welfare system about those accessing out of work benefits, as well as data from HMRC about the number of people registered to pay PAYE tax, should give us more than a moment of pause. These data tell a very different picture to some of the headline data.
It will take some time for us to reach definitive conclusions about how the pandemic has shaped and reshaped our economy and labour market, in the meantime all attention should be on doing our best to mitigate the impacts for those most at risk in our economy.

Tonight while I was getting my little girl in bed, she started playing mommy, instead of me being mommy, and tried to get me to fall asleep. She did this my drawing with her fingers on my cheeks, trying to get me to close my eyes. It was the wildest thing, because instantly I was thinking that this was what my mom used to do to me, and now I do this with my kids. The odd part is, I don't remember ever doing this to my mom, but it seems like a very special, simple habit.
I do, however, remember doing this with my grandmother, and for some reason, it just reminded me how short life can be, as it seemed that I did this with her towards the end of her mortal life. And somehow, that led me to wonder what impressions people get by my words or actions, perhaps thinking I might be extreme, over the top, or just plain "out there". But really, as time goes by and I see more and more what's important (and what's not), I don't care. Today I was thinking about Mormon, and how during his time, he had a "sober mind", and was probably considered a bit too serious by some. At age 10, he was given instructions for a major responsibility regarding these plates of brass which he would take care for at age 24. At age 15, he was commanding the whole of the Nephite armies, and from then until the end of his life, all he saw was destruction, in the form of both war and murder among his people. He wanted to preach to his people, and God forbade it, as the people had wilfully turned away from Him (Mormon 1:16).
But then it was also marvelous. Mormon writes that he was visited of the Lord (Mormon 1:15), and shown our day. All of man's days, actually, from the beginning to the end of the world. (How does that happen, if we have agency to affect the course of our lives?) It seems as if the majority of what Mormon writes is directed pointedly at us - those who have lived since the Book of Mormon has come unearthed. And it is marvelous, the things that Mormon shares. I am grateful for the work he did, and what he endured, to bring this to my life.
Interestingly enough, despite the horrors that Mormon witnessed, and the sacrifices he likely made in abridging so much of what we now have as the Book of Mormon, I think it's wild to see what has become of his name. I wonder, if when God showed him what would transpire in future times, what he thought of the fact that millions of people who have accepted this book as scripture would call themselves after his name. Mormons. We take upon ourselves the name of Christ when we are baptized, but the world refers to us as Mormons. Very, very interesting.
So grateful for Mormon this Sabbath day! He truly testified of Christ. I hope when my kids tickle my face to try to get me to sleep when I'm older, that they know that I tried to do the same.

The paper focuses on the development trends of the transport infrastructure of Eurasia in the context of the economic and political integration of the countries at this continent. Leading states of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) made proposals on large-scale infrastructure projects in the Eurasian space after financial crisis 2008-2009. Russia is extremely interested in integrating into these initiatives, but faces a number of difficulties. Some of them are connected with the peculiarities of regulation of transport issues within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The article analyzes Russia's current infrastructure development dialogue with the APR states, including the initiative of coordination of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Silk Road Economic Belt. The authors examine main Eurasian infrastructure projects interesting for complex EEU infrastructure development as well as the main challenges and opportunities for Russia arising in the framework of the interaction of the EEU and the APR countries in the field of infrastructure.
The authors conclude that integration of Russia into Eurasian transport and logistics initiatives requires the coordination of the transport agenda with trade and investment regulation. This coordination suggests close cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Commission, and in the long term –even the transfer of competencies related to the development of the EAEU infrastructure agenda to the supranational level.

It was linked to the Main Interconnected System (MIS) in the northern governorates of the Sultanate, bordering the United Arab Emirates.


Watson, what should I watch tonight?
The world is consuming an amazing amount of streaming video content.
From silly internet videos to binge watching hours of the latest trending show, the average person's appetite for streaming video content is tremendous. By 2021, the research firm MarketsandMarkets expects the market to reach $70 billion. To compete in this increasingly crowded space, providers must find a way to differentiate themselves to keep subscribers engaged and actively paying subscriber fees.
There's a simple method for reducing churn while engaging and pleasing viewers: providers must understand, at a deep level, what individual subscribers want to watch and point them directly to that content. This highly personalized approach to serving up streaming video content becomes possible when providers add machine-learning technologies such as IBM Watson to their streaming services.
IBM Watson can find patterns in the way people interact with video content, from the selections they make, to how often they rewind or pause, to which videos they have abandoned midstream or watched repeatedly. By identifying and analyzing commonalities between the types of programming a viewer enjoys, Watson can suggest options the viewer might not have even considered.
Today, a viewer's search for video content typically only involves basic metadata, such as the title, genre, and so on. However, Watson can amass advanced metadata about what happens inside streaming videos. It can index and catalog at a much deeper level. This includes the ability to index spoken word, visual imaging, tone and much more.
These capabilities enable subscribers to interact with content in entirely new ways. In the future, a viewer could say, "Show me a movie to help me sleep," or "Show me a move where people overcome difficult challenges," and the library could bring up videos that help a subscriber's mood or outlook in a new way.
Watson collects viewer data from video platforms over time and combines that data from other sources such as social channels, third-party reviews, global trends, and other content including geospatial and real-time weather information. As that happens, providers can compile data-rich profiles of individual subscribers and proactively predict targeted and highly relevant content recommendations.
Watson's capabilities can also help providers identify users who are likely to drop off their platforms so they can take steps to prevent that from happening. For example, if customers who enjoy watching romantic comedies are particularly prone to churn, the provider can examine its current offerings and decide if it should license more movies. Or it might find that it has a wide range of similar content that would appeal to this segment of subscribers it could recommend instead.
The opportunities that this technology will uncover in improving customer experience and recommendation success on a video streaming platform are limitless. In a future blog, I will explore how cognitive systems can help with areas such as content acquisition and creation, marketing strategies, advertising intelligence, and general business decision making.

What's next for containers and standardization?


Our current food system is producing more food than ever, but that doesn't mean everyone everywhere has equal access to healthy and nutritious food. It also doesn't mean all that food is being produced sustainably so we'll also have it in the future.
Large-scale monocropping of maize, soy, wheat and palm oil erodes the soil and destroys ecosystems, while diets overly dependent on these crops lead to both obesity and malnutrition. If this weren't enough, a globalized food industry is creating ever larger markets for ultra-processed foods and snacks high in fat, sugar and salt.
Our programs aim to change this situation by bringing diversity back to the farm and onto the plate. While the challenges differ from country to country, our work has a similar approach. We put people at the center of solutions. We take a close look at grassroots initiatives, work with consumers and smallholder farmers and bring their ideas to the attention of policymakers and international institutions.
Indonesia's statistics on malnutrition aren't impressive. In fact, the country faces a double malnutrition burden. Almost 40 percent of children under five are stunted due to poor diets, and a quarter of the adult population is overweight.
As in many other places, people here are eating more and more ultra-processed fast foods. This is especially true in urban areas where often the most convenient options are minimarkets selling cheap, unhealthy snacks and treats.
This makes local fresh food markets and street vendors vital for low-income citizens. Our Sustainable Diets for All program is therefore on a mission to work with this informal sector, stimulating community-based initiatives and encouraging citizens to find - and create - healthy and affordable alternatives.
How does that work? Well, sometimes you need to throw a party.
Bolivia is one of the homes of quinoa, and the country's rich biodiversity generates a range of traditional and healthy foods. Yet Bolivian diets – as those in Indonesia – are shifting towards highly processed products. Despite a national increase in food consumption, the prevalence of anemia remains high: 73 percent in rural areas and 53 percent in cities.
Indigenous Andean grains are an important key to the solution because they're nutritious and increase biodiversity. By supporting their production and consumption, we provide healthy food choices for consumers, empower smallholder farmers, and increase urban food security.
Meet some of the citizens and activists who are leading the way in Bolivia.
Undernourishment and malnutrition rates for Zambia are extremely high, putting it second from the bottom in the Global Hunger Index 2016. These stunning facts are largely attributed to the limited diversity of the country's food production and consumption. Over 90 percent of agricultural produce is centered on maize, posing a threat to food security and nutrition.
Our efforts in Zambia are focused on providing alternatives to growing a single crop. This so-called mono-cropping degrades ecosystems and reduces crop diversity, which ultimately means much less variety on people's plates.
We work with civil society organizations and the media to convince the government and the private sector to introduce policies and practices that diversify Zambian food production. Our advocacy has led Zambia to eliminate government subsidies for growing maize.
We produced a short film with our partner IIED that looks at the challenges facing Zambia as it promotes dietary diversity. All interviewees agree on one thing: there's an urgent need for diversification in Zambia's agricultural production and consumption habits.
Dora Siliya, former Zambian minister of agriculture, is currently serving as chief government spokesperson.
If we're concerned about the increasing lack of diversity in the world's agricultural production, we should take a closer look at where agriculture begins: seeds. A diverse supply of nutritious food is only possible if farmers have access to seeds that let them develop and grow a wide variety of crops.
But large agricultural businesses – often taking advantage of apathy or protection from governments - put patents on seeds that end up eradicating farmers' seed saving and sharing traditions. This also means that farmers cannot breed the right seeds to adapt to climate change.
We believe seeds should remain in the public domain – in an "open-source seed system" - so farmers, breeders, gardeners and research institutes can save, reuse, exchange and improve seeds.
Our Open Source Seeds Systems program has a history that started a decade ago in India. There it proved its success.
Indian farmers have long felt they were financial hostages o fa system requiring patented seeds and the use of pesticides. Some ten years ago, an increasing number of them were resorting to suicide out of utter despair. Then a group of local farmers came up with an alternative that, with Hivos' support, grew to become a nationwide network of open and accessible seed banks. There was one caveat: farmers were not allowed to patent the seeds so these could be available for further breeding. The Indian success formula of open source seeds is what we are currently implementing in East Africa.
How do we use the ideas of citizens and community-based organizations to actually reshape food systems? We invite them to one of our Food Change Labs, which we co-host with IIED.
The Labs are an innovative way to find answers to complicated food issues. For example, urbanization, globalization and climate change are increasing food insecurity, which hits low-income citizens hardest. That is why our Labs put citizens at the center of finding solutions. We connect them with local government officials, policymakers, researchers and civil society - anyone who can propel their ideas into policy.
In Uganda we have proven that these ideas can be very effective.
In our Sustainable Diets for All (SD4ALL) program we partner with IIED. Our Open Source Seed Systems (OSSS) program partners with Biodiversity International.


Walking around Stow Lake these days you might encounter a dapper, white-haired gentleman with a gorgeous 4 x 5 camera on a tripod, lens focused on a group of stones at the water's edge or a distant, misty view of ivy festooned trees. That would be Mistsu Yoshikawa, who is working on a photographic essay of Stow Lake.
Mitsu Yoshikawa, who lives not far from the park and has spent many hours taking photographs there, follows in the footsteps of iconic nature photographers like Edward Weston, whose work he admires and credits as an inspiration. His 4×5 camera, set for long exposures, allows him to capture the park landscape in exquisite detail, whether framing an arresting image of bark or leaves up close or a distant grove of trees enveloped in mist. Collectively his photographs of the park evoke a swampy, over-grown, mysterious place . . . no people in sight. This is primarily a world of plants, water, wood and stone, but sometimes a bridge or path or artful pruning will hint at human presence.

Old energy versus the new
In the village of "Doel" near the city of Antwerp there is a very old mill. The mill was built in 1612 and is what is being called a "Grondzeiler" mill, meaning it was used with a cotton seal that was bound on each of the wings of the mill to get it up to windspeed.
This story is not about the fact that it's an old mill, but more about the location of it. At this moment the historical wind power producer is next to its much-hated gigantic successor, a nuclear power plant.
Since the seventies, there are plans to destroy the village to make way for the expansion of the Antwerp harbor. The ages-old village of "Doel" had some remarkable historical events and buildings to go along with it. But what has to go, has to go in the name of progress. Most is the houses in the village are already gone and what is left looks like a ghost town.
There are only two buildings in the village the Port of Antwerp wants to keep, one is the church tower and the other is the mill. They both will have to be moved to a better location, to the "Prosperpolder" in "Kieldrecht". The village of Kieldrecht is about 10 kilometers away from Doel. It's going to be the new home for these amazing pieces of Belgian history.

12 Doctoral Positions (67 %).
RTG 2204 is a DFG funded postgraduate programme run at the Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) in Germany. In agreement with the current legislation the position is remunerated according to "Entgeltgruppe 13 Tarifvertrag Hessen (TV-H)". The duration of the offered positions can be extended for a total of three years, if the funds are provided for this purpose. Extension is possible in special cases, e.g. applicants with young children.
The doctorate projects within RTG explore substitute materials based on abundant elements ("elements of hope") aiming at overcoming the limitations imposed by scarcity of elements and materials. The RTG focuses on developing and studying such strategies in the field of energy storage, energy conversion and energy transport, to achieve a breakthrough in cutting-edge technologies like high-efficiency photovoltaics, large-scale rechargeable batteries, thermoelectric generators and energy-efficient materials. The program is run by twelve research groups from chemistry, physics and materials science cooperating in the Center for Materials Research ZfM/LaMa, an interdisciplinary research center of JLU.

Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots
All, Biology, Contemporary, Economics, History, Physics
Work defines who we are. It determines our status, and dictates how, where, and with whom we spend most of our time. It mediates our self-worth and molds our values. But are we hard-wired to work as hard as we do? Did our Stone Age ancestors also live to work and work to live? And what might a world where work plays a far less important role look like?
To answer these questions, James Suzman charts a grand history of "work" from the origins of life on Earth to our ever more automated present, challenging some of our deepest assumptions about who we are. Drawing insights from anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, zoology, physics, and economics, he shows that while we have evolved to find joy meaning and purpose in work, for most of human history our ancestors worked far less and thought very differently about work than we do now. He demonstrates how our contemporary culture of work has its roots in the agricultural revolution ten thousand years ago. Our sense of what it is to be human was transformed by the transition from foraging to food production, and, later, our migration to cities. Since then, our relationships with one another and with our environments, and even our sense of the passage of time, have not been the same.
Arguing that we are in the midst of a similarly transformative point in history, Suzman shows how automation might revolutionize our relationship with work and in doing so usher in a more sustainable and equitable future for our world and ourselves.

Gary Rogers (born 25 September 1981) is an Irish coach and former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Rogers was also called up to the Republic of Ireland national football team. He also played Gaelic football for and coached the Meath county team, and has also coached the Cavan, Monaghan and Westmeath county teams.

Playing career

Shelbourne
Rogers played with St Francis when he was younger and was spotted by Dermot Keely and was brought to the Shelbourne youth team. While with the youth team, he had a trial at Stockport County. He did not get a contract and upon his return he never made a first-team appearance for Shelbourne. He played for St Francis in the First Division for one season in 2000–01.

Drogheda United
At the age of 19 he moved to Drogheda United. He was a regular in the first team helping the club to promotion to the top flight in his first season and was the main factor in the Drogheda brilliant defensive record. He picked up his first FAI medal when he was part of the Drogheda FAI Cup winning squad in 2005.

Dublin City & Bray Wanderers
Disappointed with a lack of first-team appearances, he joined Dermot Keely's Dublin City in December 2005. However six months into his contract Dublin City pulled out of the League of Ireland and Rogers was without a club. He subsequently signed for Bray Wanderers. He stayed at Bray until the start of the 2007 season.

Galway United
He signed for Galway United in February 2007, who were newly promoted to the Premier Division. Upon his signing, manager Tony Cousins said of Rogers: "Gary is a top class goalkeeper, has a lot of experience in the League of Ireland and I'm delighted to add a player of his ability to the team." Rogers became the first-choice goalkeeper and helped the Tribesmen stay up in his first season with the club. However, Cousins was sacked at the start of the 2008 season. New manager Jeff Kenna came in April and Galway's form improved in the latter part of the season, and clean sheets against Finn Harps and UCD, who were both subsequently relegated, helped the Tribesmen stay up.

St Patrick's Athletic
Rogers followed Jeff Kenna to Dublin side St Patrick's Athletic at the beginning of the 2009 season. Saints goalkeeper Barry Ryan moved in the opposite direction vacating the goalkeepers' jersey. Kenna was sacked after a poor start with the club. Rogers remained at the club for the following season under Pete Mahon and was voted Player of the Month for March 2010 having kept clean sheets in the opening five games if the season. Rogers was part of the League of Ireland XI side that played Manchester United in the opening game at the Aviva Stadium. Rogers was voted by the Ultras group the 'Shed End Invincibles' as their Player of the Year. He re-signed for the Saints on 30 November 2010.

Rogers was part of St. Patrick's European run in 2009, which saw the club reach the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League play-off round keeping clean sheets against Valletta F.C. and FC Krylia Sovetov Samara. Two years later Pats again played 3 rounds in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League where he kept clean sheets against Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja and FC Shakhter Karagandy.

Gary made his 100th appearance for the Saints against Dundalk on 13 June 2011.

Sligo Rovers
In December 2011 Rogers signed for Sligo Rovers and has established himself as the club's number 1. He helped the club to a first league title in 35 years in 2012 playing every league game until after the title was secured. 2013 saw him play Champions League football for the first time as Rovers were beaten by Molde of Norway. He kept a career best 26 clean sheets during the season.

Dundalk
Rogers signed for Dundalk in November 2014. In his first season, he won both the Premier Division and the FAI Cup. He also appeared in the qualifying rounds of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League as Dundalk went out to BATE Borisov. He was part of the Dundalk side that made Irish footballing history by reaching the play-off round of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, where they lost 3–1 on aggregate to Polish side Legia Warsaw, dropping into the group stages of the Europa League as a result. He went on to become a big part of following league campaigns, picking up league medals in 2018 and 2019.

Retirement
In December 2020, after the 2020 League of Ireland season, Rogers  announced his retirement from football after a 21-year career. His last game was against Arsenal in Group B of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League group stage.

European competition
Rogers holds the record for most appearances in European competition for an Irish domestic player (54).

International career
In May 2016, Rogers was added to the Republic of Ireland squad for their friendly against the Netherlands as back-up due to the unavailability of Keiren Westwood and David Forde. He was again called up by Martin O'Neill for a friendly with Oman and a World Cup qualifier against Serbia.

Coaching career
He was ratified as Gaelic football goalkeeping coach of the Meath county team in 2018.

He has also served in similar roles with the Cavan and Westmeath county teams.

In January 2021, he was confirmed as goalkeeping coach of the Monaghan county team.

In June 2021, following his retirement from football, Rogers returned to his former club Drogheda United as a goalkeeping coach

Personal life
Rogers is a native of Navan in County Meath. He grew up playing Gaelic football for his local club, St Ultan's. A three-month ban following an altercation with a referee playing for St Ultan's resulted in him deciding to concentrate on a football career at the age of 17. When his then League of Ireland club, Dublin City, went out of existence in 2006, Rogers returned to playing Gaelic football and appeared in two National Football League games for Meath, before being offered a contract at Galway United and deciding to resume his professional football career. Gary's uncle Liam Devine scored for Dundalk against Linfield and Hibs of Malta in the 1979–80 European Cup.

Jesse Heimer grew up showing livestock, and now passes his knowledge on to young people. Photo courtesy of Heimer Hampshires.
It wasn't that long ago that Jesse Heimer was a 4-H and FFA member taking his pigs to county and state fairs. Now one of the nation's top show pig breeders, Heimer uses that early experience, as well as his passion for and knowledge of the show ring, to help young people like Avery and Noah Gamm prepare for success.
For the Gamms, success has been enduring. Noah, 19, has been exhibiting livestock for a decade. A member of the Bowling Green FFA chapter, he has had numerous champions and reserve champions in the Pike County Fair and Missouri State Fair, where he exhibited the Champion Overall Barrow in Open Class just last year. Noah's sister, Avery, is 12 and has been showing pigs for four years. She, too, has had success as a member of the Peppy Circle 4-H Club, exhibiting champions and reserve champions at both the county and state fairs. She has also taken home the showmanship title the last two years at the Pike County Fair by showing excellent technical skills and sportsmanship to those in the show ring with her.
Staying on the right track requires a sustained commitment and a lot of labor. It begins when the pigs are purchased in early to mid-April. At that time, they weigh about 60 pounds. When county fair time rolls around, the pigs will have gained more than 200 pounds. Getting them ready for the show ring means feeding them twice a day, walking and washing them daily, weighing them periodically, keeping accurate records, washing pens twice a week, and working with an expert on nutrition and health requirements.
On a typical summer day, Noah and Avery will be up feeding the pigs at 6 a.m. and then again at 6 p.m. They'll often be walking, washing, weighing and caring for pigs until 10 p.m.
Caring for an animal so it thrives teaches a variety of lessons.

Oftentimes, that payoff also comes in the form of prize money that can help young people finance their education and future plans.

## Most important news
### v0.7.0
#### `Breaking changes`:
- Props dirty now only equal to true when the new value is !== old value (shallow compare).
Before v0.7.0 prop dirty equal to true when on change new value, form submit.

### v0.6.0
- Fix change default value no re validate input.
- Add onUnRegistered, onRegistered callback for HOCInput.

### v0.5.6
- Filter unwanted props to HOCInput children.
- Improve typescript d.ts.

### v0.5.0
- Remove babel-cli as dep
- Use new context react api. So from 0.5.0 will require react > 16.3.0

### v0.4.0
- `validateLang` now is optional props in HOCForm
- `cancelablePromise` fix unhandled reject promise. `cancelablePromise` now only use internally. Async rules no need to use `cancelablePromise`.
- Now support multiple async rules.
- Added `errorAsyncRuleCallback` to handle errors in async rules.
- Partial support typescript (need improve more)

## Intro

`react-hoc-form-validatable` is a library has a higher order form and input components that help validate form easily,
especially with asynchronous validate come from the server with the help of Promise ES6.

The library aim to create a validatable component that easy to work with any other input components.
So you can make your own form components with your own styling.

## Install

`npm -i react-hoc-form-validatable`

or

`yarn add react-hoc-form-validatable`

## Demo
[Demo online](https://gndplayground.github.io/react-hoc-form-validatable)

## Docs

You should check [the docs](https://github.com/gndplayground/react-hoc-form-validatable/tree/master/docs) and [the demo source](https://github.com/gndplayground/react-hoc-form-validatable/tree/master/dev/examples)
to see how to use it.

## Notes

The library requires Promise polyfill by your app if you want to use asynchronous validation (It mean the
Promise polyfill is not shipped with the library). Your Promise polyfill has to support Promise.cancel().
For that, you can use BlueBird or use the wrapper that provided in this library.

The library uses `Higher Order Component` technique and React context to make it possible.

Before use this library you should have knowledge about Higher Order Component.

About React context you should understand it if you want to create your own
HOC Input Component.

Your Input Component should be controlled component.
Meaning the form validate will pass the value to the input. See the definition [here](https://www.sitepoint.com/video-controlled-vs-uncontrolled-components-in-react/)

ReMIND builds community of young brain scientists
Graduate students have formed a group called ReMIND – short for Research & Education in Memory Impairments & Neurological Disorders – to better understand and cure neurodegenerative diseases.
by Jennifer Fitzenberger,University Communications | March 1, 2010
UC Irvine graduate students (from left) Melissa Strong, Maya Koike, Kara Neely and Emily Mitchell founded ReMIND to bring together colleagues interested in memory impairments and neurological disorders. Hoang Xuan Pham / University Communications
Maya Koike's interest in neurodegenerative disorders began in middle school when a good friend's mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
"I couldn't understand why she wasn't getting better," says Koike, now a UC Irvine neurobiology & behavior graduate student researcher. "These types of diseases are so devastating, and we know so little about them."
Last fall, Koike and three colleagues formed a group called ReMIND – short for Research & Education in Memory Impairments & Neurological Disorders – for grad students seeking to better understand and cure Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases; stroke; and other neurodegenerative disorders.
The group – co-founded by Kara Neely, Emily Mitchell and Melissa Strong – has 50 members and later this year may expand to include undergraduates.
ReMIND organizers have four goals: to encourage the next generation of scientists to study neurological disorders; to educate students and the public by inviting speakers to UCI; to support the community by helping at outreach events; and to foster a collaborative research environment by sponsoring social functions.
Members have already participated in fundraising walks, led lab tours for the public, talked to undergraduate classes, and started a "journal club" to critique and learn from scientific papers.
"The labs we work in are pretty scattered throughout the medical school and central campus, so by bringing us together, this group has really created a sense of community," Koike says.
On Tuesday, March 9, ReMIND will host its first Emerging Scientists Symposium, featuring a keynote address by Rudolph Tanzi of Harvard University. A neurology professor, he helped locate the Huntington's disease gene and co-discovered three genes responsible for familial Alzheimer's disease.
Frank LaFerla, director of the Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, or UCI MIND, says ReMIND "seeks to enfranchise young scholars and to promote education, outreach and collaboration."
Born in Tokyo, Koike moved between Japan and the U.S. as a child, then attended college in Connecticut. She was at Stanford University and UC San Francisco before coming to UCI, where she's about a year from earning her doctorate.
Koike studies the link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease in LaFerla's lab. Research indicates that people who've had a stroke or traumatic brain injury are more likely to develop the disease. "Determining why this happens will bring us closer to finding a cure," she says.
She hopes to become a university professor and inspire others to enter the field. "Neurological diseases aren't going away tomorrow," Koike says. "The more people we have excited about fighting them, the better off we're going to be."

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the usability of Belgian white- -blue breed (bwb) and angus (a) breed cattle for improving carcass dressing percentage of black-white (bw) cattle fattened mostly with farm feeds. It has been found that crossbreeds coming from crossing black-white cows with Belgian white-blue breed bulls were characterized by more favourable carcass dressing percentage and chemical composition of the musculus longissimus lumborum and musculus semidendinosus, compared with the crossbreeds with the share of the angus breed and the black-white breed fattened cattle. The bw x bwb crossbreeds had the carcass dressing percentage about 3.5% higher than the black-white bulls did. The bulls with the share of the Belgian white-blue breed had best-muscled carcasses with the smallest fatness. The M. longissimus dorsi weight and the area of its section in the bw x bwb breeds significantly (P≤ 0.01) surpassed the averages of these traits in other groups of bulls. As far as the carcass tissue composition is concerned, the bw x bwb crossbreeds distinguished themselves by the highest share of lean and the lowest share of fat and bones.


This scam alert involves a company operating on the Internet as Writers' Literary Agency & Marketing Company. It's a scam talent agency duping writers into believing that they could get representation through their company and then hits them up for a $95.00 critique fee. They first lead people to believe that there are two different companies involved, one acting as a talent agency and the other acting as the Critique company. In truth, they are the very same company and all the people you end up communicating with are also one in the same. First of all, they do everything via email. There is no phone number; they don't want to actually speak to anyone until you are supposedly further along their process and they have allegedly assigned you an agent. Of course you never get to that point since all they want is your $95.00.
Writers' Literary Agency & Marketing Company operates from the website http://www.wlwritersagency.com. Its screenplay division operates from the website http://www.wlscreenplayagency.com. The other company name that they operate under where the money is actually collected is Writer's Literary & Publishing Services Company at the website: http://www.writersliterary.com.
Here's how the scam works.
You fill out an online form where you list your pertinent details and the subject of your screenplay (book, TV show, whatever). A few days later they write back telling you whether they liked what they read or not. No doubt, they like everything they read, but I suppose it's possible that they will send a few negative responses just to perpetuate the feeling of authenticity. In any case, they reported back that they liked the screenplay summary and followed up by sending a contract that you have to fill out and email back to them. Subsequently, they email it back to you with their printed "signature". Now you believe you have a legitimate contract with them. Then you send them your actual screenplay, which oddly they don't bother to read. Instead, they ask if you have a formal written critique of your work which follows a standard format. In most cases, the writer hoping for representation will not have such a document. They then offer a link to a company they say they do business with (Writer's Literary & Publishing Services Company) that will give you a critique at a "discounted rate" of $95.00. You are instructed to make payment via their link to PayPal (their preferred method). Now they have your money. You wait patiently for your critique which never comes.
Since the deadline for your receiving the critique has passed, you start your enquiries only to discover that your contact at the critique company does not respond to any of your emails. Her name was "Joan" by the way. Suddenly up pops someone named "Vicki" who says she never heard of a "Joan". This Vicki comes up with excuse after excuse as to why your critique was not done. When you point out numerous contradictions in her emails, she never actually responds to any of the facts. When you demand a refund, you are ignored. When you email your contact at the Literary Agency ("Andrea") who referred you to them, you are ignored just as you are when you contact the alleged owner of the Literary Agency ("Sherry Fine"). This person "Sherry" is the one who allegedly makes the decision on your work then throws it over to her flunky, in this case "Andrea". By now, you would have guessed that there is only one person, maybe two, operating this scam. As I said, everything is done via email with long FAQs (frequently asked questions) attached so you get a good deal of information as to their "process" without ever having the opportunity to speak to a human.
Back at the Agency's website, all the email links have been disconnected and the email addresses being displayed have spaces and odd commas in them so that if anyone sent an email it wouldn't get there. Of course, it doesn't matter, since no one will respond unless you're identified, I imagine, as a new potential customer (new blood).
Many, many companies on the Internet are reputable ones. Unfortunately, Writers' Literary Agency & Marketing Company is not one of them. It is their purpose in life to leech off the dreams of talented individuals who just want to have a legitimate chance to getting their works read and represented.

Elon Musk's SpaceX unveils Starshield satellite services for U.S. military
By Sheri Walsh

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- SpaceX is rolling out a new business called Starshield to support U.S. military applications, building upon the company's existing satellite system.
The latest Elon Musk endeavor expands on Starlink Internet satellite technology for national security uses, to include secure communications and space surveillance payloads, for its largest customer, the Pentagon.
"While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use," the company wrote on its website, "with an initial focus on three areas: Earth observation, communications and hosted payloads."
"Space X's ongoing work with the Department of Defense and other partners demonstrates our ability to provide in-space and on-ground capability at scale," the company said.
RELATED SpaceX gets federal approval to launch 7,500 communication satellites
Starshield will offer satellites with sensing payloads to deliver data directly to the user, provide global communications to government users and build satellite buses to support customer payload missions providing "end-to-end systems" to win big ticket government contracts.
In addition, Starshield satellites would be equipped with laser terminals to allow them to operate with existing military satellites, since the Defense Department wants to use commercial low Earth orbit satellite capacity to transport data.
SpaceX continues to build out its Starlink satellite system. Last week, the company received federal approval to launch 7,500 communication satellites to expand Starlink's Internet services around the world.
RELATED SpaceX California launch sends 53 more Starlink satellites into orbit
Currently, there are more than 3,500 older model satellites in orbit, providing services to about 500,000 Starlink subscribers as of June.
The newly approved second-generation satellites will be deployed in the Starlink Internet network constellation that circles the Earth in low orbit amid tons of space junk.
Musk said the new satellites are a lot bigger than the older model, due to the large size of the antenna.

A second passport is a magnificent opportunity to broaden horizons for visa-free travels, to minimize tax payments and to create a safe haven in case of political and economic risks in the homeland. Making an investment is the fastest and the simplest way to obtain a second citizenship. High-income business people have a wide range of options to choose from: there are official passport programs valid in 4 EU countries (Cyprus, Malta, Austria, Bulgaria), in 5 states in the Caribbean region (Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Lucia and Grenada) and in Vanuatu. In this article we'll focus on Saint Lucia, the country with the youngest program in the Caribbean.
Saint Lucia has been offering economic citizenship since 2015. Although this country passport program is the youngest in the Caribbean, it is already a strong competitor on the market. Saint Lucia can boast of the record number of investment options, 4 of them, to be specific: donation into the state fund, investment in government bonds, business or real estate. In comparison with other Caribbean countries that have similar CBI programs, Saint Lucia CBI program offers twice as much options. Antigua and Barbuda is the only exception as it allows one to invest in business as well.
Moreover, Saint Lucia's passport is one of the most beneficial variants for an individual investor, with the donation sum corresponding to at least $100,000. The passport is obtained within 3-5 months and allows one to travel visa-free to 127+ countries. Another advantage is the absence of world income tax, inheritance tax and capital gains tax there.
Saint Lucia may soon become even more appealing for wealthy foreigners. Information surfaced about the jurisdiction authorities preparing to launch the program on issuance of the non-domiciled tax status (non-domiciled are temporary residents without a permanent place of residence).
To clarify the details, let us imagine the following situation: people having links whatsoever with the countries B, C or D, but residing in the territory of the country A, can claim another country to be the place of their permanent residence or 'domicile', if the law of the country A allows this. It does not matter where these people actually live. As a result, they receive the non-dom status in the country A without having to pay taxes related to the foreign income and capital income.
Such tax privileges are quite rare. Most countries have the rule according to which every person must pay the taxes with respect to all the income sources in the country of living.
World experience: Where do similar schemes exist?
Similar schemes aimed to encourage the flow of foreign investments to the state are available in some European countries, in particular, in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
It is worth noting that the non-dom status holders in the UK now tend to be looking for alternative ways, since the mentioned regime has become less attractive after a series of tax amendments was introduced.
Many investors pay attention to the Italian program. It is noteworthy that in Italy, the non-domiciled status was issued for the first time to the former holder of a similar status in the UK.
Allen Chastanet, Saint Lucia's PM, made a public announcement on April 4, 2018, stating that the country had introduced the opportunity for one to receive the non-domiciled tax status in the jurisdiction. The official made this known while delivering his speech to the Parliament. Chastanet mentioned that preparatory work was being conducted ahead of the launch of the tax residence program for people having big capital.
The Prime Minister also emphasized that Saint Lucia had been removed from the blacklist of the EU countries, which list was posing threat to the local industry of financial services. After the global tax legislation got tightened, Saint Lucia decided to add domiciled persons category to the Income Tax Law. The aim was to multiply or, in fact, to substitute the income lost by the country for this reason.
It is hard to say whether the jurisdiction will be able to compete with its 'colleague countries'. But independent experts think this initiative might increase Saint Lucia's rating in the investment immigration market and make more high-income investors consider Saint Lucia as the place of their second citizenship.
Recall that in 2017, the EU published the first blacklist of tax haven countries. Seventeen states, including Saint Lucia, were mentioned there. The jurisdiction was removed from the list in March 2018.
It is evident that Saint Lucia will be offering the non-dom tax status as an additional advantage to the second passport.
budget in the first year of the program's existence, and in the period from 2017 to 2018 this figure corresponded to $21,400,000.
Local authorities have prepared the forecast on the financial flows under Saint Lucia's economic citizenship program. It is expected that by the end of the 2018–2019 term, the contribution to the country economy will have totaled $29,030,000, of the 2019–2020 period — $51,610,000, 2020–2021 — $64,510,000.
The document also provides information about the optimization of the document submission process with the aim to increase the local immigration program effectiveness. In 2019, investors are likely to receive the opportunity to submit citizenship and residence applications online. There is also an idea to develop a citizenship database in order to enable easier access to the relevant information.
Nestor Alfred, the Chief Executive Officer of the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Unit, says that since the program launch, 259 people have been issued passports.
The official information about the first Government-approved project available for investment with the purpose of getting citizenship has been recently disclosed. The project is Fairmont Saint Lucia resort. The construction works have been carried out since 2017. The project is planned to be commissioned in 2021.
Saint Lucia's tourism sector has been actively developing since 2017. It can be proved by the official statistics: 94,432 tourists visited the country from January to September 2017, this figure is 14.5% higher than the one recorded in the same period of 2016. The tendency is expected to continue in the upcoming years.
Saint Lucia's passport is a valuable investment for successful business people and travelers, as it broadens visa-free horizons. Soon investors will have an additional reason to get this Caribbean passport, with the non-dom fiscal status being a key to tax optimization.

Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) was a software company based in Santa Cruz, California which was best known for selling three Unix variants for Intel x86 processors: Xenix, SCO UNIX (later known as SCO OpenServer), and UnixWare. Eric Raymond, in his book The Art of Unix Programming, calls SCO the "first Unix company". Prior to this, some prominent Unix vendors had been computer hardware manufacturers and telephone companies.
In 1993, SCO acquired two smaller companies and developed the Tarantella product line. In 2001, SCO sold its rights to Unix and the related divisions to Caldera Systems. After that the corporation retained only its Tarantella product line, and changed its name to Tarantella, Inc.
Caldera Systems becoming Caldera International subsequently changed its name to SCO then to The SCO Group (NASDAQ: SCOX; now delisted: SCOXQ.PK), which has created some confusion between the two companies. The company described here is the original Santa Cruz Operation (NASDAQ: SCOC). Although generally referred to simply as "SCO" up to 2001, it is now sometimes referred to as "old SCO", "Santa Cruz", or "SCO Classic" to distinguish it from "The SCO Group" to whom the U.S. trademark "SCO" was transferred.
