Bala Malgwi, who describes himself as the godson of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, shares his intimate experience of the Adamawa born politician with us
Bala Malgwi, a businessman, is a close family friend of the Abubakars
In this new series on people who have had close encounters with presidential candidates, Bala Malgwi, who describes himself as the godson of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, shares his intimate experience with us:
What early leadership traits did you notice in him?
From the beginning, I've known Atiku to be a kind-hearted man. He has a very strong will. He is the kind of person that always wants people to be around him. Once he wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is look around to see people that are around him.
He is also the kind of person that always wants to assist at every point once you come to him. The most pronounced sign of leadership is that he is a good listener. He tries to solve people's problems. At any given time, he is there for you.
Are there special memories of your relationship that linger on with you?
Yes. I will tell you a story on something that happened to me. Some years back, my ex-wife was in America and she was delivered of my second child. Some few days later, I got a call from America and my daughter was supposed to go for surgery.
I didn't have a dime. I looked left, right and centre. Who am I going to run to for assistance? I left my house at about 1am. I went to his house. At that time, he was in a meeting with a former governor of Kano. Immediately I peeped he saw me.
He said, 'Bala, are you okay?' I said, 'Yes Daddy'. But I want to see you. He said okay, let me finish my meeting. He finished his meeting at about 2am and he called me and asked what the problem was. I narrated the story. He said he was heading to Ghana in the morning but asked me to see Babalele in the morning.
And in the morning at about 10am, Babalele called me and said, 'I have a message for you from Daddy'. I said okay. I went to the office. Babalele gave me $50,000 from Atiku. If it were someone else with so much on his mind, he would definitely forget that he had made a promise. But this is one person, he didn't forget and first thing in the morning, I got a call. It is something I will never forget in my life.
He is also the kind of person that always wants to assist at every point once you come to him. The most pronounced sign of leadership is that he is a good listener.
What drives him?
He likes seeing the younger generation prosper in whatever they do in the life and he tries his best to encourage you. Financially, he will give that support. He will talk to you, he will give you that guidance. Even if it means getting a third party to advise you.
He can go to that length. He derives pleasure in helping people. He derives pleasure in seeing people all around Nigeria come as one, either you sure Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, name it. There is no religion, there is no tribe. Either you are a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, Atiku Abubakar will relate with you.
What are his major weaknesses?
His weakness I will say is that he loves his people too much. That is one of his weaknesses.
Why should Nigerians vote for him?
He is the only man that can take us forward from where we are in this country because he understands the problems of the country. I will give you something that we discussed with him. Someone in the power sector came to me and said, 'Look Bala, I want to meet Alhaji Atiku Abubakar'.
I made a call to his protocol officer and asked, 'Where is Daddy?' He said he is in the office. I said, okay I am coming. We went there, the man saw him, and we discussed about the energy sector. Guess what? What he told us was that he has had a plan for the sector since he was Vice President.
He used his money to put together a team of consultants that went round Nigeria for almost seven to eight months to bring out a plan. And he told this gentleman, this is my plan for Nigeria once I get the chance to become President.
Will you be disappointed if he loses?
I will be very disappointed. This is a man that is prepared to be president of Nigeria. Remember, back in the days of SDP, Atiku Abubakar was an aspirant. He stepped down for Moshood Abiola in the running for the presidential ticket.
Ever since, he has been preparing to be the president of this country. When you look from 1999 to 2007, the economic team he set up, with people like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili, Nuhu Ribadu, Charles Soludo, made up a very vibrant economic team. He knows what do to fix our problems.
He said he was heading to Ghana in the morning but asked me to see Babalele in the morning. And in the morning at about 10am, Babalele called me and said, 'I have a message for you from Daddy'. I said okay. I went to the office. Babalele gave me $50,000 from Atiku.
What is the single most important thing to you in this election?
The most important thing for me is education, power, roads and agriculture. These are the four most important things for because when you give your people education, they will become more aware and they will come out of poverty. We have a lot of uneducated people.
Are you better off than you were four years ago?
No. I am not. I am a businessman. I employed at least 74 people. Right now, as I speak, I have only two people left because of government policies. I import goods. I understand the government is trying to stop importations so that we will start producing.
How do we produce when we don't have all the infrastructure? We don't have power. We don't have good roads. How do we produce? In fact, I have never experienced the kind of hardship I have experienced in the last three and a half years. I have wasted three and a half years of my life doing nothing.
I have never experienced the kind of hardship I have experienced in the last three and a half years. I have wasted three and a half years of my life doing nothing.
If Atiku were not in the ballot, who would you have voted for?
I will look for a better candidate. It might be anybody. But I will look for somebody that can move this country forward.
What is unique about him?
There are so many things unique about him. He is a father, a good father. And I have learnt something from him, a very good listener. That is very unique to me. Only unique people have that kind of character.

Manufacturer expands, creates manufacturing jobs in Connecticut
Precision manufacturer Leipold, Inc. is expanding its Connecticut operation and increasing employment by up to fifty percent over the next two years to create more manufacturing jobs in Connecticut.
The company manufactures precision components in the automotive, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and telecommunication industries.
Leipold has been partnering with Asnuntuck Community College and other state educational institutions to develop apprenticeships. The company currently has two full-time employees from that program, and another apprentice currently in training.
The total project cost is $8 million, which includes a Department of Economic and Community Development Manufacturers Assistance Act loan of $3 million.
Terms are one percent for ten years, with principal deferred for the first six years. Forgiveness of $1 million may be offered if Leipold retains 40 jobs and creates ten within four years.
Beyond that, each new position may be eligible for an additional $100,000 forgiveness up to a maximum of $2 million in total forgiveness if 20 net new jobs are created.
"Our partnership with Asnuntuck is one of the reasons Leipold, Inc. is expanding here in Connecticut," said the company's General Manager Michael Kraemer, who also sits on the machinist program advisory board at Asnuntuck. "The investments that the Malloy administration is making in the development of Connecticut's workforce are crucial to our long-term success and will allow us to maximize the opportunity for job creation that the funding announced today supports."

Fosbury Changed High Jump During Oregon High School Days
By Cody Porter on September 11, 2018 hst
Dick Fosbury, who was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame this past summer, revolutionized the high jump when, as a sophomore at Medford (Oregon) High School in 1963, he used his new technique which became known as the Fosbury Flop. The upside-down, back-layout style became the standard as all records around the world have been established by athletes using the Fosbury Flop. Using his new method, Fosbury improved his jumps from 5-4 as a sophomore to 6-5½ as a senior and placed second in the state meet. He continued to perfect the "Flop" at Oregon State University, where he claimed the NCAA high jump title in 1968 with a 7-2¼ effort. That same year, Fosbury won the gold medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City with a 7-4¼ jump, which broke both the Olympic and American records. Fosbury was named to the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame, the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame. He retired in 2011 after 30 years as a civil engineer in Idaho, but he continues to coach athletes at Dick Fosbury Track Camps in Maine and Idaho.
Question: What led to you participating in track and field events?
Fosbury: I started doing track and field in grade school; it was part of our culture at school in Medford, Oregon. I played football, went out for basketball and, in the spring, we had to choose between baseball and track. I headed right for track and field, so that's how I sort of got started there. There was a junior high school on my way home between my grade school and my home. In the spring, my friends and I would walk through a field to the standards the school left out, and that's where we would practice doing the high jump and long jump or find a big rock for the shot put and just play around, making up our own games.
Question: What led you to search for a new jumping technique as a sophomore at Medford High School?
Fosbury: I tell the whole story in my new book, The Wizard of Foz. I got into high school after five years of using the scissors technique in the high jump. My track coach explained to me that it just wasn't an efficient technique. He really pushed me to try to learn the classic style – the straddle technique – that everyone else was using. That's when I started to work on learning a new style, and that was very difficult to kind of start over. I didn't have much success with that for the first half of the season. So, I went back to the scissors, and once the bar got to a height that I had never reached, I knew instinctively that I had to do something different. That is when I started to change my body position, adapting to the height of the bar, and it worked. As the bar went higher, I went from a sitting position to more or less a back layout, lying flat on my back over the bar. I improved my height by 6 inches and finished fourth in the meet, so that was the breakthrough.
Question: What was the reaction of others at the meet when you first used the Flop in 1963? What was the reaction in the weeks that followed?
Fosbury: There wasn't much said by anybody, but they noticed that I was changing every jump that I made. It didn't attract any attention for another year or two. I had become competitive after once being the worst high jumper on our team and possibly in the state of Oregon. I had merely gotten back into the game. It was a slow process. It took a couple of years to develop and refine from the time I was a sophomore in high school. By the time I was a senior, I finished second at the state championships and won a national junior championship meet. I was showing improvement as I refined my technique, which proved to be important.
Question: How did the naming of the "Flop" come to be? What did you think about it?
Fosbury: Nobody ever asked what the technique was called until I was in college in 1968, some five years later, when I'm starting to compete at a national level. I had won an indoor meet in Oakland, California, where I jumped 7 feet for the first time, and that started to attract some attention. A journalist afterward asked me what I called my technique and I explained that back home in Medford, Oregon, we called it the Fosbury Flop. I basically borrowed that from a caption of a photograph when I was in high school. The editor had described it as "Fosbury flops over the bar." Medford has the beautiful Rogue River running through it, which is popular for fishing. The context was that when you land a fish, pull it to your boat or on the bank, it makes a flopping action with a sideways bend. So that's how the name Fosbury Flop came to be.
Question: After starting the "Flop" you improved your best from 5-4 to 5-10, and then to 6-5½ as a senior. Do you believe you could have excelled at such a level without the innovation of your technique?
Fosbury: No, but I was attracted to this event. I also ran high hurdles, but like most kids I tried other events. However, I loved the high jump. I was always tall and it seemed like a natural event for me. If I had not developed a different, more efficient technique, I would not have been competitive. Whether I would have even stayed on the team or have been good enough to be on the team was very debatable, so I did that really as a matter of survival. It was a very competitive environment. During my junior year, we won the state championship in our class so it was a high level of competition within the state and school.
Question: What additional sports or activities did you participate in while attending Medford High School? In what ways did those sports or activities positively impact your efforts in track and field?
Fosbury: I played on the basketball team, which was another sport that I really loved. I loved playing that sport, in addition to competing in track and field. I was also in our choir; I enjoyed being onstage in operettas. In terms of impacting my participation in track and field, we had practices after school, and then if you made the team, we had practices after class on every day of school. Our games were then held on the weekends. The lessons that I learned were how to play hard and compete for a spot on the team. The consistency of training and having healthy exercise every day, six days a week, was really good for any other sport that I competed in. Whether I was going to play basketball or something else, I would have found some sport to participate in. Kids today have a lot of options in our school systems, and I appreciate the parents' thoughtfulness in giving kids the opportunity to participate.
Question: In what ways have you stayed involved in the sport in recent years?
Fosbury: My life has been blessed because I discovered a technique that I need for myself, and as it turned out, that every kid around the world wanted to try and use. It became adopted as a universal technique. I've been involved with coaching coaches and coaching athletes ever since I finished my college education. That's one of the best things of my life. I really enjoy working with kids, helping to guide them and mentor them. As I finished my engineering career, I started to spend more time developing track clinics for kids. A sports camp is an opportunity to be coached by experts in your sports, which can be a big advantage for kids and parents to utilize in the offseason.


What can I gain from making a meeting at Connect with the Fed?
Attendees from all levels of experience with writing federal grant applications can benefit from signing up for a one-on-one meeting with representatives from a number of federal agencies – with a little preparation. Nutrition 2018 attendees will be able to sign up for meetings with representatives from the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NHLBI, NCI, NIDDK; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) NIFA; and the Department of Defense (DOD).
How can I prepare for Connect with the Fed?
First, to get in the grant application mindset, do a little homework. Disentangle grant acronyms (What are FOA's, ROA's, PA's, RFP's, NOT's? What are F, K, T, or R grants?). Familiarize yourself with the federal agencies and find out which of them offer grants (DOD, EPA, NIH, NIDDK?). Get an overview of the process of how to apply for a grant. To give yourself more time to plan your application, check for any upcoming forecasted (i.e. planned future opportunities) grants you can apply for. Think about the goals of the project you are considering and ask yourself – does your mission match that of the granting institution? Are you eligible to apply? Keep up with grants.gov and look at the funding forecast to see if your subject matter aligns with the institution's funding priorities. Different agencies may be looking for proposals that highlight either specific topics, or aspects like collaborations vs. independent work.
Andrew J. Henderson, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Medicine and Microbiology at Boston University School of Medicine, recently organized grant-writing workshops for graduate students and their faculty advisors at Boston University School of Medicine. I chatted with him to hear his thoughts on how students could prepare for a conversation with program or scientific officers at federal agencies. As he is in the process of designing a full course on grant writing for students, Dr. Henderson sees great benefits for students to learn grantsmanship skills during graduate school that will prepare them to later become productive independent investigators. Dr. Henderson offered some excellent suggestions to help students considering writing a grant get familiar with the workflow, and with priorities in writing an application.
NIH grant proposals are submitted to the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) that assigns it to a matching study section. >> A study section Scientific Review Officer (SRO) assigns your grant to up to three reviewers >> Reviewers score the proposal from 1=exceptional; 9=poor on five criteria: significance, investigator, innovation, approach, and environment >> There is also an Impact/Priority Score – only proposals in the upper 50% make it to the study section meeting. >> Based on discussion in study section, each member of up to 25-30 reviewers votes an integer score from the range 1-9 >> overall grant score is an average of individual scores multiplied by 10.
Get to know the right people you can contact should you have questions.
Scientific Review Officers (SROs) coordinate the efforts of the study section. Prior to submission, you can contact the SRO if there is any conflict with reviewer assignments, or if a paper is accepted and there are other complications. Program Officers manage the portfolio of applications and set the priorities for funding, depending on the priorities of the institute. When you get your review sheet back, you may contact the program officer who has experience seeing how your application fits within the priorities of the institution. Establishing a relationship with the Program Officer can be helpful – they synthesize what reviewers recommend.
Grant applications are a balance of two strong components: science and training.
Spend most of your effort writing the science. Grantsmanship does NOT overcome bad science. Your goal is to express your science in a high quality way. To be competitive, don't neglect key training aspects can include assets like journal club, professional development activities, the infrastructure to train students, and a commitment from the graduate program for funding for these activities.
For students applying to F grants: don't get overwhelmed by the pieces that go into the proposal.
You can adapt aspects like equipment and resources and budget from examples within the research group that are already completed for the PI. Your personal statement should include your career goals. Remember, reviewers are from academia and scientific careers. They are evaluating your application in the hopes of training future scientists. Emphasize the science, and what you do, of course, is ultimately up to you once you graduate. The abstract and summary are a version of your specific aims. The significance section should be a lay description and highlight how you will incorporate rigor into your design, and the scientific premise of the study based on the data and scientific questions.
Use your peers and mentors as resources to talk about the process, and ask for feedback.
Grant Writing 101 – keep your proposals simple.
People reviewing grants will be reviewing 5-9+ of them so don't use long, complex sentences. If you can capture their attention while their kids are bouncing around them, students coming in and out, and while they're commuting, you've done a good job.
I sat down with Andrea V. Ferreira, MPH – the Director of Foundations Relations and Research Advancement for Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Network –a proficient grants professional with decades of experience in the nonprofit sector, and asked her for tips and thoughts to write a successful grant application. She shared with me three of her top guiding principles when applying for grants.
Write a proposal, not a grant. You may be applying for grant funding…but in reality you are writing a proposal for an idea and including convincing data, compelling stories, and measurable outcomes.
Follow the instructions. If the instructions ask for a specific font or margins, abide by the regulations. So many grant proposals get thrown out for administrative reasons.
Program officers are people too. There is nothing wrong with picking up the phone if you don't understand something after you've followed the instructions. Check for webinars that the agencies offer that specifies what they are looking for in applications.
Now that you have hopefully gotten an idea of how federal grant applications go, you can begin to make a plan for how you can apply for a grant. Consider the resources you have available to you to write a successful application.
Your organization's office for grants – many universities have an Office of Proposal Development.
Ask mentors for examples of strong proposals or training plans from successful proposals. Make sure examples are current to what is required today!
Bookmark grants.gov – follow their Twitter updates for up-to-date resources, #FundingFridays, and funding opportunity announcements, check out their Community Blog for topical insights on the application process, download their new mobile app for on-the-go access, read their Grant Writing Basics Blog Series.
Thank you very much to Andrea Ferreira and Andrew Henderson for their valuable insights on grantsmanship. Both offered similar career advice related to grant proposals: even if you're early-mid career, the best experience to equip you to write successful future grants is to volunteer (keep up a relationship with a SRO in your subject matter) to review proposals. Reviewing others' proposals offers a rich experience that can change the way you write.
See you at Connect with Fed on Sunday, June 10th and Monday, June 11th, 2018 from 12-3:00 pm at The Hub!
A Sneak Peek at Nutrition 2018 https://vkool.com Omega-3s: "The Triple Threat" or "The Dynamic Duo"?


One of the highlights along the road to Hana, the secluded village on Maui's rugged east coast, is this outstanding park. It's possible to spend the better part of a day here and enjoy a variety of activities. You can lounge on the powdery black sand beach and swim in the quiet cove. You can explore the cave, a short walk from the parking area, in which a Hawaiian king reputedly murdered his wife. But my favorite activity is to hike the scenic lava trail that runs along the seacoast.
The easiest, best marked route is toward the east. The trail passes the park campground and a heiau (religious site), a rectangular area marked by lava rocks. Depending somewhat on the wind and weather, huge waves crash into the dark lava shore, sometimes from more than one direction.
One of the results of this activity is a blowhole, about half a mile from the start of the trail. Waves enter openings in the rocks and are directed upward, exiting as a fine spray (complete with rainbow), a gusher or, sadly, just a burp.
The hala trees growing along the trail are a delightful, quiet, green counterpoint to the violence being done to the black lava rocks by the waves. Hala leaves are used by locals to weave baskets and strange-looking hats for sale to tourists. For a nice overview photo of the shore, pose a companion next to one of these trees in the foreground.
After about 3/4 mile, the border of Wainapanapa State Park is reached but the trail continues all the way to Hana Bay, roughly a 3-mile trek in total. I mean "roughly" both as "approximately" and a comment on the condition of the trail, which disappears from time to time and requires walking over jagged lava in places.

Q: Requests Library in flutter is not storing the cookies, when application exits Earlier my app was using the flutter requests library 3.3.0, when i recently update the library to 4.4.1 . The cookie was not getting stored when the app exits. Is there a way to solve this without changing the package

A: I have got the solution to fix this issue.
Call a secure api, and automatically the cookies will get stored in the Request library. Fetch those cookies using the Requests.getStoredCookies(hostname) and convert the Cookie to string and store it in the shared preferences. And when the app exits and when the user comes back read the shared preferences and parse the string to cookiejar using the CookieJar.parseCookiesString(storedCooks!) and set the stored cookies using the Requests.setStoredCookies(hostname, parsedCookies) and now the problem is solved
SETTING THE COOKIES
String? url = env?.getBaseUrl();
String hostname = Requests.getHostname(url);
var r12 = await Requests.post(url,
    headers: <String, String>{'authorization': authEncryptionKey!},
    json: {"shouldGenerateCookie": true, "ipSession": false},
    timeoutSeconds: 60, persistCookies: true);
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();

var requestcookies = await Requests.getStoredCookies(hostname).then((value) =>
{
  cookiesInString = value.values.first.toString()
});
sharedPreferences.setString('cookies', cookiesInString!);

The Cookies are set in the shared preferences, Reading the cookies
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
String? storedCooks  = await sharedPreferences.getString("cookies");
String hostname = Requests.getHostname(url);
var parsedCookies = CookieJar.parseCookiesString(storedCooks!);
await Requests.setStoredCookies(hostname, parsedCookies);
var cookies = await Requests.getStoredCookies(hostname);

The cookies are been set to request library in the form of CookieJar

Penn State has cruised in two straight games without monster performances from its Heisman frontrunner, but that formula won't last for long.
After managing just 56 yards on 20 carries in Week 5 against Indiana, Saquon Barkley had rushed for a net of zero yards through the first 40 minutes against Northwestern. Then with help from his trademark jump cut, Barkley ripped off a 53-yard touchdown run that helped Penn State pull away in an eventual 31–7 win in Evanston, the Heisman favorite's first gain of more than eight yards in two weeks. He finished with just 75 yards on the ground (4.7 per carry) and 84 total yards on Saturday to help the Nittany Lions stayed perfect on the season.
Penn State led 10–0 going into the break, but Northwestern made a point of containing the Big Ten's most dangerous offensive weapon in the first half, limiting Barkley to a net loss of one yard on his first eight carries. The Wildcats could only keep that up for so long: Barkley scored two of his team's four touchdowns (his first was a one-yard leap over a pile on the goal line) and looked more like the player who wowed college football through the first four weeks of the season in the game's second half.
Going into Saturday, Barkley was the Vegas favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at 7-to-4 odds, and a couple quiet afternoons on the ground won't threaten that. As his 221 all-purpose yards against the Hoosiers last week proved, Barkley finds a way to make an impact when he isn't ripping off huge gains on the ground—a week ago, Barkley took the opening kick 98 yards to the house and threw a 16-yard touchdown pass on a trick play in the fourth quarter. That said, Penn State needs to get its running game going in the upcoming bye week because its margin for error in the Big Ten has run out: In two weeks the Nittany Lions host No. 7 Michigan in State College, then travel to No. 10 Ohio State the next weekend. Another slow start could leave them in too big of a hole against the lurking top-10 teams, and a loss in either game would be a big setback to the Nittany Lions' College Football Playoff dreams.
Penn State has been impressive early this season, though it has played, well, no one, and against gritty defenses like the Wolverines' and Buckeyes', it'll need to muster a more balanced offense than it has displayed in its last two games, although both went down in the record books as relatively stress-free victories. Against Indiana: 39 yards on the ground, compared to 331 in the air. At Northwestern: 95 rushing yards, 286 passing—a better ratio, but still somewhat lopsided.
In the absence of a steadier stream of highlights courtesy of Barkley, Penn State is winning with its defense. Saturday's win was a shutout until the final two minutes, and the Nittany Lions have already blanked two opponents, but they can't count on those kinds of numbers as they head into the meat of their Big Ten schedule, where they need Barkley and their running game to spark the rest of the offense.

Software Vulnerabilities Up by 20% in 2021
James Coker Reporter, Infosecurity Magazine
Follow @ReporterCoker
Software vulnerabilities increased by 20% in 2021 compared with 2020, according to a new report by HackerOne.
The bug bounty platform said its hackers had uncovered over 66,000 valid vulnerabilities this year, while hacker-powered pentests detected a 264% rise in reported vulnerabilities in 2021 compared to 2020. Additionally, there was a 47% increase in vulnerabilities detected by Vulnerability Disclosure Programs.
The surge in vulnerabilities has partly been driven by the increase in organizations adopting hacker-powered security testing programs, according to the report. For example, there was a 62% increase in financial services programs and an 89% rise in government programs, including a bug bounty challenge by the UK's Ministry of Defence.
HackerOne said another factor is the expansion of attack surfaces brought about by digital transformation and cloud migration during the pandemic.
The most commonly discovered bug was cross site scripting, as it was in 2020. However, there were significant increases in reports of information disclosure (58%) and business logic errors (67%). Of all the vulnerabilities reported, 26% were considered critical, 36% medium severity, and 34% low severity.
Encouragingly, the median time to resolution fell by 19%, from 33 days in 2020 to 26.7 days in 2021 across all industries. Retail and e-commerce even saw time-to-remediation drop by more than 50% in this period.
The report also found that the median price of a critical bug rose by 20%, from $2500 in 2020 to $3000 in 2021. Additionally, the average bounty price for a critical bug rose by 13% and by 30% for a high severity rated bug this year.
Chris Evans, CISO and chief hacking officer at HackerOne, commented: "Even the most conservative organizations are recognizing the power of the outsider point of view.
"We've continued to see high growth in the financial services sector, for example. Measuring and quantifying risk is their business, and they're seeing that both risk and business outcome is better if they embrace hackers. Across the board, we're seeing customers using vulnerability report data to inform their software development lifecycles. Organizations are catching issues earlier, and remediating them, at greatly reduced cost by focusing on improvements to developer education, source code integrations, and development frameworks."

Hu Huaibang, ex-chairman of the China Development Bank (CDB), has been indicted on charges of taking bribes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said Wednesday.
Hu, also former secretary of the CDB committee of the Communist Party of China, was charged with abusing his various former positions to seek profits for others and accepting vast sums of money and gifts in return, the SPP said in a statement.
Hu was also accused of using his power and status to seek illegitimate gains for others through other officials' work, said the statement.
Hu's case was handed over to the Chengde Municipal People's Procuratorate in north China's Hebei Province for review and prosecution upon the designation of the SPP after the National Supervisory Commission concluded the investigation, it said.
Hu will stand trial in the Chengde Intermediate People's Court, it added.
The SPP said the prosecutors had informed the defendant of his litigation rights, interrogated him and listened to the defense counsel's opinions.

The main sessions and talks at Drupalcon are on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so the Monday is often perceived as a quiet day to do other things, but there are a number of activities to get involved with. These include training sessions to improve your Drupal skills, the Business Summit where business leaders can network and learn from each other, and the Community Summit where community leaders and enthusiasts can share knowledge and issues and make plans to improve their local Drupal communities. I attended the Community Summit, and will summarise my day.
I almost didn't go to the Community Summit, as it appeared to be "Sold Out" over a month before Drupalcon started. I understand that this was due to limited size of room, and logistical issues around coffee and lunch, but I think the fact that it appeared to be sold out was a shame and lead to fewer participants. In contrast to the training sessions and Business Summit, the Community Summit is free, to reduce the barrier for entry. This makes it easy for people to sign up and then decide not to attend at the last minute, so on the day there were perhaps 25 people where 40 or 50 people had signed up. We did manage to gather a few more by tweeting on the conference hashtag but I think we will need to consider the strategy for future community summits to ensure we maximise potential attendance.
The day was expertly facilitated by Donna, from Australia, in an unconference style, with attendees writing issues that we wanted to discuss on stickies and scheduling collections of topics into time slots for the afternoon. This is a great way to ensure the agenda for discussion is relevant to the attendees and increases engagement.
It was a diverse mix of people with attendees from Greece, India, England, Australia, Slovakia and other places. We also had Jenny from the Wordpress community, who had come along to find out more about the Drupal community and share notes, which was really interesting.
There is a perception in the business community that Wordpress has better SEO out of the box. Can Drupal do this better? Are there aspects of Drupal that can be promoted better?
Ironcamp. Came from community summit in Amsterdam. Iron camp will be in Prague to bring business from western to eastern Europe and develop the community in Eastern Europe.
Success story from the Greek community. Revamped the community in Athens, local meetups, a Drupal Day and a Drupal Camp in Athens 2016. This has lead to Frontend United being hosted in Greece 26/27 May 2017.
Signpost users to local community via Drupa.org. When you sign up to drupal.org, you should be told about all the Drupal meetups that are near you and encouraged to join.
Where Drupal has the larger Drupalcons and localised Drupalcamps, all wordpress conferences are called Wordcamps.
Wordcamp Europe is of comparable size to Drupalcon Europe, around the 2000 mark.
Camps are heavily sponsored to keep the ticket costs down.
The Wordpress community has two types of meetup, officially recognised meetups are part of the chapter programme and independant meetups.
Developers who do not release their plugins and themes under the GPL are not invited to speak at conferences or allowed to run official meetups.
How can we help people start and expand meetups and Drupalcamps?
This seems to be a perennial topic at the Community Summit. People always want to know how to help start or nurture or grow local communities. There are plenty of resources out there, but these are often hard to find either by search or by navigation. For example, searching for "Drupal Meetup Guide" does not take us directly to any useful resources.
One suggestion that came out of this observation was to get involved in the documentation overhaul on Drupal.org to improve the navigation structure and the SEO of guides for meeutps, camps and local community leaders. Note to self: find the documentation team at the sprint on Friday.
How can we improve local meetups?
Plan specific topics for discussion and advertise in advance.
Look to other communities to see what they are doing. Where do they meet? How do they run meetups?
Try distributed meetups, streaming the meetup to people who can't attend in person.
Invite remote speakers to talk via video link.
Invite other communities to speak at your meetups.
Use http://leancoffee.org/ to decide what to talk about at agendaless meetings.
How can we help communication across geographical boundaries?
Members of the Indian Drupal community raised the issue of communicating with communities that are far away or in different countries. Drupalcon Asia was a success, but does not appear to have stimulated the local communities as much as expected. Following Drupalcon, there are fewer meetups and Drupalcamps than hoped. It was noted that most of the Drupal community drive in India comes from agencies, but most of the clients are from Europe and North America. So perhaps this bias of community towards those who work with Drupal rather than use Drupal skews the community. India is a large place, and I know from experience in the UK that often user groups in different cities often do not communicate with each other and have even scheduled Drupalcamps on the same day. This is may be exacerbated in a country the size of India. In the UK we floated the idea of a national UK Drupal Association to coordinate better between local groups and support user groups to run meetups and Drupalcamps. This didn't get off the ground at the time for a few reasons, but I still feel a national level organisation could focus on the specific issues of the country or region, and it sounds like similar conversations are happening in India.
As community leaders we need to keep the Drupalcon Community Summit going and increase the reach at future Drupalcons.
The Wordpress Community has some great ideas and processes that we can learn from.
We can contribute to meetup and Drupalcamp guides to improve visibility and findability.
We can suggest improvements to the Drupal Association and Drupal.org to encourage users to get involved in local meetups (and start one if there isn't one).

The study of human wants is very important in economics because no human being on earth is free from these wants. The study of human wants reveals the following characteristics.
Human wants are limitless. Wants differ from person to person even though there are some wants common to all human beings. When one want is satisfied, another comes which may be of a different kind.
No human being on earth can satisfy all his (or her) wants. With the passage of time and human progress, we find a marked growth in the number and variety of wants. Modern man has countless wants. But the resources necessary to satisfy the wants is limited. So human being is a bundle of wants. All wants together are insatiable.
Though human wants are unlimited and all of them cannot be satisfied, yet a particular want is satiable. For example, if I am hungry, I want food. I can satisfy my hunger by taking some food provided I have the means. So it is possible to satisfy a single want. However, the laws of consumption are based on the characteristics of human wants.
More often commodities are wanted jointly. To satisfy them we need commodities in group. A single article of that group can not satisfy the whole want. For example, the want for a pen to write involves at the same time want for ink and paper; they want for tea requires the want for sugar and milk at the same time; the want for a motor car to drive involves automatically want for petrol (or diesel) and mobile and so forth.
We know that wants are unlimited and resources (or means) to satisfy them are limited. Many wants at a time may appear before us. They compete with each other to be satisfied earlier.
A student may require to purchase a cycle and a wrist- watch. He wants to have shoes and a mobile (or cell) phone. Similarly a man wants Hero- Honda motorcycle and a TV set. So different wants exist at one time.
We cannot buy all articles at a time because of paucity of income (or resources). In our real life we make a choice. This choice will indicate which want is to be satisfied first and which one next. As a matter of fact, the choice we make to satisfy our wants is based on two things. They are: (i) more urgent want and (ii) less urgent want.
It means to grade our wants according to their importance. Further, wants compete with each other to be satisfied first. The nature of competition among wants may be (i) very close and (ii) remote.
Very close competition among wants occur when goods and commodities are perfect substitutes (or very similar) and remote competition among wants occur when the things are unrelated with each other.
Wants can be satisfied in different ways by using different alternatives. For example, hunger can be satisfied either by rice or bread thirst can be satisfied either by plain water or by soft drinks. Similarly, we can opt either for tea or for coffee to satisfy our want. So we knew that different alternatives are there before us to satisfy our wants.
Wants are not same for all people. Different people want different things. Wants of the persons living in towns are different from the persons living in rural areas. The wants of the people living in southern part of India re distinctly different from the wants of the people living in northern part of India.
The nature of wants during summer season the winter season. Similarly the wants of any two persons are not same. One may be vegetarian while the other one may prefer to have non-vegetarian dishes.
Same want may appear over and over again. This means some of our wants recur again and again. These types of wants cannot be satisfied permanently. Our wants for food recur; our wants for articles to quench our thirst, etc. reappear again and again.
Even though wants are innumerable still than all wants are not equally important. It means some wants are more urgent than others. So more urgent wants are satisfied first and the fulfillment of less urgent wants may be deferred.
For example, our wants for rice, bread clothes etc. are definitely more important than our need for motorcycle, TV, freeze etc. So food and other bare minimum necessaries of life are treated as most urgent wants while the need for consumer durables are taken as less urgent. However, wants also vary in their intensity (or urgency) at different stages of our life.
When we repeatedly use an article to satisfy a particular want, then it becomes a habit. Taking tea, chewing betel, taking alcohol, smoking cigarettes etc. are examples of this category.
For example, without the use of man power a machine cannot run. It means a machine becomes useless and idle if a man does not operate it. So man and machine are complementary.
Again we find in a matured economy that machine replaces man. At present man and machine compete with each other for its use. This is quite common in industrially developed countries.
Plenty of advertisements through TV, newspaper, radio etc. influence human wants. Especially in TV we come across some attractive and interesting advertisements for different articles.
As a matter of fact, all these advertisements influence our buying behaviour. Now-a-days advertisements play a crucial role in changing our demand pattern.
However, we knew that the study of wants and their characteristics is very essential and it becomes the basis of the laws of consumption.

This particular pair of shoes I had been going back and forth on, a) would my feet be too big to pull off this style of shoe? and b) my toes are hella ugly, so would they just look stupid? I just loved the look of them way too much, so bit the bullet and ordered them - I am so glad I did. Surprisingly I think they look really great and are kind of flattering in a strange way - if you are blessed with great feet, then these would literally look incredible on you!
These have a hidden buckle (great detail) and they feel really secure on the feet despite there not being much holding you in. They are pretty comfortable, and the larger, chunkier heel gives you a bit more support than normal. Because they are black they will look great with anything and are a welcomed addition into my wardrobe.
For the more practical side of things, these boots had my name written all over them. I love the tan colour and the thing that drew me to them was the gold hardware detail around the heel, which I have been seeing a ton from other shoe brands. I love these boots for everyday wear, but they also look great more dressed up, for drinks, dinner etc. I know I will be getting a lot of wear out of these this winter!
I am really impressed by the New Look shoes and I am so happy they go up to the larger sizes and don't just stop at a size 10! I also think for the quality and the look of these, the prices are really affordable too (esp. if you can use your student discount or get them on sale - always a bonus).
Do you take the risk and buy shoes online? What styles have you been loving at the moment?

Under 11 Development Weekend Results
May 19, 2013 Gabhan
Killorglin had a fantastic weekend of football with Killarney Athletic hosting a development weekend including teams from all over the country. Our boys gave a wonderful account of themselves.
Killorglin AFC Under 11 2013
Our first fixture was against the Dublin team Home Farm. Despite the sunny weather all day in Killarney, as we arrived for our game, the heavens were opening. And by the time we kicked off, we were treated to thunder, lightening and even hail stones. But in spite of the challenging conditions, Killorglin went a goal up through a nice strike from Jack O'Leary. The Dublin side were tough but Killorglin seldom looked troubled in the first half, with Gearoid Hassett controlling midfield. After about 5 minutes of the second half however, the weather took it's toll, and the game was halted. In the circumstances, the boys can definitely claim a moral victory.
With the disappointment of Friday evening still fresh in the memory, Killorglin played Cahir Park from Tipperary in their first game. And their determination was rewarded in a tough encounter, with Stephen O'Loughlin finishing off a good move to give the boys a 1-0 victory
Next up was Carrigaline from Cork. A bruising encounter saw a competitive game of football end in stalemate, with the Carrigaline keeper making some outstanding saves. The boys gave a great performance, with several good chances created. Final score 0-0.
Our last game of the day was against local rivals Killarney Athletic. The expectation was that Athletic would be strong, but Killorglin looked good in the first half, and the sides went in level at half time. But good attacking play in the second half from Gearoid and Eoin Hassett set up chances for Tom Whittleton and Cathal Crowley to put Killorglin well and truly in control. Despite a consolation for Athletic late in the game, Killorglin were deserving 2-1 winners.
A brighter sunnier day started with a game against Kinsale of Cork. A high scoring encounter saw Niall Carey score twice, and despite Kinsale pegging us back to two apiece, Stephen O'Loughlin again popped up with what proved to be the winner after good play from Jack O'Leary.
Our sixth game of the tournament saw us play Newcastle West United and the tiredness was beginning to show. Although we created some good chances, and Darragh McKeefry did well in the centre of midfield, three unanswered strikes from the opposition left Killorglin licking their wounds and disappointed with a final score of 3-0.
Killorglin were determined to finish on a high in their final game against Abbeyfeale. But despite Sean Corcoran's incisive runs forward, Killorglin couldn't come up with a goal. And Abbeyfeale grew into the game with Martin Fay required to make some good saves. In the end however, the game was decided by a deflected effort that left us red faced and ending up with a 1-0 defeat.
With so many games over the weekend, it was good to give everyone in the squad some time on the pitch. Everyone gave their all, and I was delighted with the attitude and commitment shown. You were a credit to the club.
Squad: Martin Fay, Oisin Cronin, Jack O'Leary, Niall Carey, Stephen O'Loughlin, Ethan Coffey, Sean Corcoran, Darragh McKeefry, Mikey O'Donnell, Gearoid Hassett, Eoin Hassett, Oisin Palmer, Jason O'Sullivan, Cathal Crowley, Kealan O'Connor, Eanna Healy, Tom Whittleton, Conor Murphy, Oisin Flynn

In his explanation, he stated that he preferred using Uber as against buying an expensive car that he won't really drive. "If your self-esteem is based on how much you have in your bank account, then you have a serious self-esteem issue. Right from when I sang my very first song, someone offered me N80m record deal but I turned it down and at the time, I did not have N300,000 in my account'.
"There are better things to do with that money. In the short time, I have spent on earth, I have made a lot of money. While I was into mining, I had so much money that I was living at a place that was a stone's throw away from the airport in Accra and I was paying my rent in dollars'.

Адис Яхович (; ) — северомакедонский футболист, нападающий турецкого клуба «Бодрумспор».

Карьера
Первый свой профессиональный контракт подписал с северомакедонским клубом «Македония Гёрче Петров» в 18 лет, раскрыться смог в боснийском «Сараево», где провел два хороших сезона. В 2011 году игрок перешёл в «Виль», выступающий во втором по силе швейцарском дивизионе. В дебютном сезоне забил 17 мячей, став лучшим бомбардиром команды.

Во втором сезоне, отыграв 6 туров, забил 7 мячей, следствием чего стал интерес со стороны высшелигового «Цюриха», куда игрок отправился в аренду. Проведя сезон в элите швейцарского футбола, игрок не имел большого желания опускаться на ступень ниже и начал подыскивать новый клуб. Был интерес со стороны леверкузенского «Байера», но до конкретного предложения не дошло.

Сезон 2013/14 Яхович начал в составе того же «Виля», забив 5 мячей в 5 играх, но 01 сентября 2013 перешёл в состав полтавской «Ворсклы», где главный тренер Василий Сачко подыскивал мощного форварда. Дебютировал за полтавчан в 1/16 Кубка Украины в победном для своей команды матче против «Волыни». Первый мяч за украинский клуб забил в домашней игре против «Динамо». Этот мяч оказался единственным в матче. 12 апреля 2014 года, в матче против «Шахтера» на 84 минуте забил единственный в игре мяч, таким образом, в дебютном для себя сезоне, принес победу своей команде в двух играх против двух сильнейших коллективов Премьер-лиги.

Отработав однолетний контракт, покинул расположение полтавчан как свободный агент, заявив, что сезон в Полтаве стал "самым счастливым периодом в игровой карьере.

В июне 2014 года перешел в хорватскую «Риеку». 1 сентября 2014 года подписал контракт с российским футбольным клубом «Крылья Советов» Самара. 31 августа 2016 года перешёл в турецкий клуб «Гёзтепе».

После 51 матча в «Гёзтепе» перешел в «Коньяспор», в котором за 43 матча забил 17 голов.

В 2019 году был совершен трансфер Яховича в «Ени Малатьяспор». В Малатьяспоре провел 18 матчей и забил 11 голов.

В июле 2020 года Адис продолжил своё путешествие по Турции, на этот раз он перешел в «Антальяспор».

Яхович вернулся в «Гёзтепе» в феврале 2021 свободным агентом и провел 3 матча, в которых не забил ни одного гола.

Национальная сборная
Адис Яхович дебютировал 14 ноября 2012 года за сборную Македонии в матче против сборной Словении. 22 марта 2013 года сыграл в первом официальном матче против сборной Бельгии. Дебютный гол за сборную забил в ворота сборной Сербии. Этот мяч оказался «голом престижа», так как македонцы уступили со счетом 1:5.

SS Arcturus was a passenger ship of the Finland Steamship Company operating primarily on the route between Hanko, Finland and Hull, England via Copenhagen, Denmark. Gourlay Brothers of Dundee, Scotland built Arcturus, launching her on 1 October 1898 and completing her that December.

In its earlier years Arcturus was one of the primary ships that Finnish emigrants sailed on when heading to North America. After disembarking at Hull, emigrants would typically take a train to Liverpool to board a transatlantic liner.

On 12 December 1930 in fog in the Kattegat Arcturus collided with another Finnish Steamship Company ship, Oberon. Oberon sank in only three minutes, with the loss of 41 of her passengers and crew.

Arcturus remained in service until 1956.

A Drive to Rename Roads — and Reclaim Uganda's History

GPJ ACCURATE
KAMPALA, UGANDA — Kagayi Ngobi still recalls the teacher's puzzling question: "What were the challenges faced by missionaries, explorers and British colonialists in Uganda?"
Why, Ngobi wonders years later, didn't the instructor ask how those outsiders harmed Ugandans?
"I knew something was wrong with the history curriculum," says Ngobi, 34, his eyebrows raised. "The history curriculum we have today is a single narrative that praises and tells experiences of the colonialists and their agents and disempowers the African narrative."
Ngobi — a poet, lawyer and teacher himself — and thousands of other Ugandans want that to change.
Apollo Makubuya, a Kampala-based lawyer and author, started an online petition in June urging the government to rename public spaces, specifically roads, that honor colonial-era administrators and British royalty.
The petition has triggered a larger conversation about how to reshape a national story that some historians and teachers say has shunned the harsher facets of British rule and distorted Uganda's history.
"It affects one's confidence, identity and self-esteem," says Samwiri Lwanga Lunyiigo, an author and retired history professor at Makerere University in Kampala, the capital.
Kagayi Ngobi walks down Dewinton Road, named after a colonial-era leader. Ngobi, a teacher, poet and lawyer, supports renaming such streets and also wants Uganda to revise its history curriculum.
Makubuya says the idea of a petition came to him last year after he researched Uganda's history for a book. He saw, he says, "how little we know or celebrate our leaders who worked a lot for the independence of our country."
Makubuya unveiled the petition in early June, a couple of weeks after the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in the United States, kindled worldwide protests. The petition says the outcry after Floyd's death shows "the urgency to address all forms of injustice and discrimination everywhere."
The lawyer addressed the petition to, among others, Uganda's president, members of Parliament and the Kampala Capital City Authority, which runs the city's operations.
"We believe that the removal of visible vestiges of a colonial hegemony from public spaces is a crucial part of a process of decolonization and ending an era of domination and impunity," the petition says.
Makubuya seeks new names for streets that harken back to when Britain held Uganda as a protectorate, from 1894 until 1962.
Road names showcase colonial leaders such as Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, Col. Trevor Ternan, Col. Henry Edward Colville and Gen. Francis de Winton.
Makubuya presented the petition to the speaker of Parliament, was invited as a guest on several TV programs and appeared before the city authority. The petition drew more than 5,700 signatures online.
"I sign because black lives matters," Kiggundu Ahmed commented on the online petition.
Others said the petition didn't go far enough.
Laban Jemba, another commenter, wrote, "My prayer is that [this] does [not] stop at merely renaming … but we get going on the quest for COMPLETE independence … we need to reclaim our culture."
Roger Kakuwa, a boda boda rider, travels along Prince Charles Drive in Kampala. Kakuwa says he doesn't see the relevance of Prince Charles in Uganda's history and modern context.
Lunyiigo says Uganda's history curriculum offers a skewed view of the colonial era. Most schoolchildren don't know that the British smothered protest by fomenting discord among the kingdoms that made up Uganda, he says, and whipped up wars in which many died from fighting and starvation.
The British imposed their religion, clothing and English, which remains one of Uganda's official languages. They also unraveled social structures such as traditional farms, Lunyiigo says.
"At school, children are punished for speaking their mother tongues, taught lessons that portray African people and African leaders of the colonial era as barbaric, [and are] told African culture and religion were devilish," he says.
Ayebaale Allen, 37, a Kampala resident, learned of the petition through news reports and social media. She favors a revamped history curriculum but balks at new street names.

"The only information I learned about [the British] is how they introduced civilization, the knowledge of reading and writing, and introduced Jesus, cotton and silk clothes," Allen says. "If we rename the roads, it would mean that some people who haven't gone to school will never get a chance to know who Frederick Lugard or Col. Colville was."
Communities drive the changing of road names, says Daniel Muhumuza Nuwabine, interim head of public and corporate affairs at the city authority. He says no Kampala neighborhoods have made such requests.
A new history curriculum would be the work of Parliament and the National Curriculum Development Center, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education and Sports that is responsible for curricula at all grade levels.
Center director Grace K. Baguma, who knows of Makubuya's petition, says the organization reviews the curriculum in all subjects regularly. But she says those who would revise the history curriculum must make a stronger case.
"We need actual information brought to us," she says, referring to allegations of atrocities committed by the British during colonial times. "Where is that information before you tell us to change the curriculum?"
Lunyiigo says changing both road names and the curriculum would help Ugandans reclaim their history.
"Having roads named after colonialists who committed terrible crimes is celebrating them," he says. "We shouldn't be celebrating them. But their names should be remembered, and their place is the museum."

'My country in trouble': WHO chief on Ethiopia's Tigray conflict
mamadou December 29, 2020 Africa, Life, News, Politics
Tedros, the most high-profile Tigrayan, says he has many relatives in the troubled region, 'including my younger brother'.
In rare, personal comments, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has spoken of his "personal pain" about the "worsening" conflict raging in his home country of Ethiopia.
"In addition to COVID, 2020 has been very difficult for me because my country is in trouble," Tedros told reporters in the United Nations health agency's last news conference of the year on the pandemic on Monday.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, last year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, ordered troops into the northern region of Tigray on November 4, saying the operation was in response to alleged attacks on federal army camps by the regional governing party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has spoken of his 'personal pain' over the 'worsening' conflict [Reuters]
The fighting in Tigray has left thousands dead, according to the International Crisis Group think-tank, and sent tens of thousands of refugees streaming across the border into Sudan.
Tedros, the world's highest-profile Tigrayan, told Monday's news conference that he had many relatives in the troubled region, "including my younger brother, and I don't know where they are."
"I have not communicated with them because communication is not there."
Ethiopia restricted media access to the conflict-hit region and Tigray was under a total communications blackout for six weeks as the conflict raged between federal and regional forces.
Tedros, who for the past year has been at the forefront of efforts to coordinate a global response to the pandemic, said the additional strain had been tough personally.
"As if COVID is not enough, I have that personal pain also," he said. "I worry about the whole country.
"I cannot worry about my younger brother or my relatives alone because the situation is worsening."
Last month, the Ethiopian government accused Tedros, who from 2005-2012 served as health minister under then-TPLF leader Meles Zenawi, of lobbying for and seeking to arm the region's leaders.
Tedros denied those accusations in a tweet, saying he had seen the destructive nature of war as a child, and had "used that first-hand experience to always work for peace".
"There have been reports suggesting I am taking sides in this situation. This is not true," he wrote. "I want to say that I am on only one side, and that is the side of peace."
During Monday's news conference, Tedros acknowledged that worrying about both the pandemic and the conflict in Ethiopia "has been tough".
But he ended his comments on an upbeat note, voicing joy at becoming a grandfather two months ago.
"I worry, considering the two difficult situations that are happening, about my granddaughter, but at the same time, looking at her, I see hope."

Can't Get Enough Lens Flare? This See-Through Lens Adapter Lets Light in, On Purpose
by Mike Wilkinson November 23, 2015 19 Comments
Video of Newsshooter at Interbee 2015: Technical Farm Flare Adapter
Matt Allard from Newsshooter.com has been hopping around Inter BEE 2015, an NAB-like exhibition that takes place in Japan, reporting on new video gear from established, as well as developing companies. In this particular video, he gets to try out a different type of lens adapter– one that is built specifically to let light leak in from the sides and flare the image as it's recorded in-camera.
As some commenters have pointed out on other sites, the light appears to look as though it has been layered on top of the image, rather than blending in with it. What do you think? I'm a fan of lens flare (depending on the content of the shot of course) in my still photography, and I also use them in post in my video work. These light flares definitely have a different feel to them, and I think they don't blend quite as well as when you do them in post, utilizing a blending mode for example. But the video above shows just one example– it's not a complete test by any means.
It's been suggested that "lens-whacking" is a comparable effect, but in the case of this lens adapter, there is no focus shifting and blur happening. That could be good or bad depending on the effect you're going for.
As of the time of this article being written, the product wasn't listed on the Technical Farm website, so no word on availability or cost. But what do you think? Is this garbage, a fun "trick" piece of gear, or something you would throw in your kit for the right shoot?

To be fair to Mike Wilkinson, the guy in the video also calls it opaque.
Mike Wilkinson Ben Stephens - November 23, 2015
ohh man.... derrrrrp. Thanks for pointing that out Stephen! I'll try to get that fixed ASAP!!
Graham Marley - November 23, 2015
I think part of the reason I don't like it is the flares here don't make any sense. As in, where is it supposed to be coming from? At least in a field with orange sunlight flares "fit" visually.
Todd Becker Graham Marley - November 25, 2015
SNL used similar effect for their intro video in 2014. They hand held the lens in front of the lens mount and moved it around a little. If they add vertical and horizontal shifts to this adapter Ill buy it. Obviously an led light on a girl in a convention hall is going to look meh but take this out side at night it could create some stunning visuals.
Graham Marley Todd Becker - November 25, 2015
That's fair. And to combine our two points, outside at night in a city would have a lot of specular light sources, so flare would also make sense there too. The SNL folks also showed a lot of restraint in the effect too.
Jeff M - November 23, 2015
I bet J.J. Abrams has this on pre-order.
Michael Kormos Jeff M - November 23, 2015
You beat me to that comment!
Jimmy Schaefer - November 23, 2015
Where do you get one?
Matt Rennells - November 23, 2015
The main benefit I see of this is to create your own flare "overlays" for post processing. Shoot a black card and then do all of the flares you want to match up with your existing footage. I would be interested in seeing what the video/images look like without the flares as from everything I can see there is a extreme loss of contrast in the videos above.
This is a easy money maker if you know what your doing! I can't tell you how much my company has invested into 4K light flares to add to our videos, Shoot with this in a black room in 4K and sell the footage as a "Light Flare Effect" change opacity to Screen bam your making effects you shot and own, or turn around and sell them for $100-$200 a pack of 10 or 20... you can make lots of bank
Adam Palmer - November 23, 2015
If it were cheap enough I could see having some fun with that. If it were expensive I think I would just drill a few holes in a $10 adapter from ebay for the same effect.
Lubin Tasevski - November 23, 2015
I'm sure this would be fun to have shooting in the club. I do a lot of club shooting, and often I'm looking for lights to flare in the shot to give that bright burst of color in an otherwise dimly lit environment. Though I'm sure it'll mess up a lot of other shots too, but it'd be fun to try out anyhow.
Patrick Shipstad - November 23, 2015
Well it seems from the "demo" that all they were doing was shining those led lights (or a flashlight) into and around the adaptor, there was no natural light flare shown. The extensive lack of contrast and the way the flare was implemented wasn't doing it for me. It definitely doesn't look like lens flare coming in from the front of the lens. I get that that's not the point.. It's an option you'd have to work with go get the most out of it. But I'd love to see what it looks like in a daylight situation to get natural sun flare coming in from on top or the sides. I'm also curious how an adaptor with facets would look vs just a smooth adaptor. Also, adding an option of something that you could swivel around adaptor to only let in a selected area of light would be helpful vs having to wrap your fingers/hand around all the areas you don't want light let in. One hand holding a camera and trying to point an LED around the lens, looking for something cool seems like a lot of work and can give you a shaky camera if it's not on a tripod. It's a totally interesting idea, and I might be interested in it, but I definitely need to see more demos before I'd buy one.
Kyle Ford - November 23, 2015
TImothy Tichy - November 23, 2015 [Edited]
Is it strange that I want one even though I can't think of how it would be useful to me at all?
Brendan Baker - November 24, 2015
I wouldn't call this a "lens flare"- That's achieved by using anamorphic lenses or a BlueStreak filter. This looks more like film fogging and ghosting.
Lars Daniel Terkelsen - November 24, 2015
Can´t help thinking, that the effect looks like somebody trying to make flares in post, - but failing spectacularly. That said, I am sure it can be used creatively, without looking like cr*p.
Kyle Stroh - November 24, 2015
I wouldn't use this in a shoot the effects seem thrown on the image instead of natural.
Patrick Bourke - December 2, 2015
I like it! it feels kinda immersive because the other lights in the setting have an affect on the image.

Q: How can I extract localized string resources for translation? I have several Visual Studio 2008 projects (ASP.NET 3.5) with many local resource files for localization of strings found in specific ASP.NET pages. Some of them are grouped in folders, some are named based on the page they are localizing, etc.
For example, App_LocalResources folder has a list of .resx files matching ASPX pages, UserControls/App_LocalResources matching ASCX user controls, etc.
Now I need to translate the application to another language and I would like to send all those keys for translation to someone who doesn't have access to the Visual Studio projects.
I could always write a small console app which would recursively find all .resx files and combine them to one big custom XML file which I could then send for translation. Upon receiving the translated XML file, the console app would recreate all small .resx files.
This all isn't a problem, but there must be a better way. What would you suggest, how should I do it?

A: I'm currently adding .NET support to appTranslator to .NET. The tool helps you easily manage translations of your resources by letting translators work on a single localization project file and creating the satellite DLLs right-away from the translations. I'll let you know when it's ready.

A: Passolo will automatically extract the default resource strings from exe's and dll's to a "bundle" that you can pass to a translation firm.
We are doing this at my work and it seems to work quite well.
You can exclude/hide strings to translate, add comments for each string and have multiple languages in the same project/bundle.
=======================
This Visual Studio Add in helps extract individual strings to resource files (.resx)
http://resourcerefactoring.codeplex.com/
Resource Refactoring Tool provides developers an easy way to extract hard coded strings from the code to resource files.
Its says its only been developed for VS 2005/2008 but it will be updated for vs 2010 soon.

A: Write a shell script for extracting all files into an excel. After extracting into excel any can easily manipulate it easily or write a tool for converting resource files to excel.

Smoking Linked to Increased Adipose Tissue Volume, Even with Lower BMI
Despite having lower BMI, the results of an analysis indicate smokers had greater adipose tissue volume than nonsmokers.
Despite having a lower body weight, new research indicates patients who smoke were at a higher risk of depositing fat in and around organs and tissues compared to nonsmokers.
An analysis of data from computed tomography (CT) scans more than 3000 patients in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, results indicate smokers had greater volumes of intermuscular adipose tissue and lower muscle quality than never smokers despite maintaining a low BMI, which could signal increased risk of cardiovascular disease and age-related physical deconditioning.
"We found that current smokers had abdominal muscles that were significantly higher in fat," said lead investigator James G. Terry, research programs manager in Radiology and member of Vanderbilt Translational and Clinical Cardiovascular Research Center (VTRACC), in a statement. "Smokers also had a higher proportion of visceral fat, the fat around their internal organs, compared to never smokers, whereas those who had quit smoking had intermediate levels of visceral and intramuscular fat."
Despite public health initiatives and efforts to convey the risks of smoking, clinicians sometimes encounter patients who consider the lower risk of obesity seen amongst smokers as a benefit. Even with this apparent decrease in obesity, some previous studies have suggested smoking was associated with higher central adiposity and ectopic adipose deposition.
With no consensus into the effects of smoking on adipose tissue volumes, Terry and team of investigators sought to test the hypothesis that smokers have higher abdominal intermuscular adipose tissue and lower lean muscle quality than never smokers. To do so, they designed their analysis using measurement data from CT scans of middle-aged CARDIA participants. Specifically, investigators hoped to measure the patients volumes of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, intermuscular fat, and intramuscular fat from CT scans in year 25 of the study.
For CARDIA participants to be included in the current analysis, they needed to be examined in clinic at year 25, have undergone abdominal CT, and could not be pregnant. In total, 3020 of the original 5115 CARDIA participants were included in the current analysis.
At the year 25 visit, 1552 of the 3020 participants were never smokers, 944 were former smokers, and 524 were current smokers. When comparing the groups, investigators found current smokers were less likely to be female or white, had fewer years of education, were less physically active, had higher alcohol intake, and were more likely to consume sugar-sweetened beverages and fasted food than never smokers.
These comparisons also suggested current smokers had lower BMIs than never smokers. However, current smokers had increased rates of hypertension, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein than never smokers.
In fully adjusted multivariable models, which accounted for confounders such as BMI and cardiovascular disease risk factors, the mean intermuscular adipose tissue volume was 2.66 (95% CI, 2.55–2.76) cm3 among current smokers, 2.36 (95% CI, 2.29–2.43) cm3 in former smokers, and 2.23 (95% CI, 2.18–2.29) cm3 in never smokers. Additionally, the multivariable models also indicated current (40.4 [39.9–40.9] Hounsfield units [HU]) and former smokers (40.8 [40.5–41.2] HU) had lower mean muscle attenuation than never smokers (41.6 [41.3–41.9] HU), which investigators note is suggestive of lower muscle quality.
Investigators also pointed out an association between pack-years of smoking exposure were directly associated with intermuscular adipose tissue volume (β [95% CI]: 0.017 [0.010–0.025]) (P <.001).
This study, "Association of smoking with abdominal adipose deposition and muscle composition in Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) participants at mid-life: A population-based cohort study," was published in PLOS Medicine.
