Every single one of us, whether we're single, dating or in a relationship or marriage - have a deep rooted emotional need to FEEL loved, to be heard and seen and understood - and that we belong - and we need to feel and experience these things in a way makes sense to us.
And then there is also the other side to this - while we all experience love in a certain way, we also have our own way of expressing it. How we show the people in our lives that we love them, that we hear and see them, understand them and that they belong.
In a nutshell we all have different ways of experiencing and expressing love.

Edinburgh Quay
Regeneration of Fountainbridge.
Hulley & Kirkwood were initially engaged by Deutsch Asset & Wealth Management to prepare a feasibility study on this existing eight storey office development located in the Fountainbridge area of Edinburgh, having been originally developed in 2003/04. The purpose of the report was three-fold:- a condition study on the existing MEP installations with a view towards 10 years longevity; concept MEP design to align the building to current BCO standards; consider and report active measures to reduce energy and water use.
The £1.1m project was initiated due to the expiration of a major tenancy agreement which vacated office space on five floors. H&K were subsequently appointed to develop and design a Cat A scheme for the vacant areas (3,200m2) on Floors 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8, taking into consideration the outcomes/conclusions of our prior feasibility study. The scope was further enhanced with design/specification work relating to the lifts, ground floor reception and mezzanine. The MEP refurbishment works sought to bring the refreshed accommodation to the front of contemporary office standards with the deployment of LED office lighting with daylight and occupancy controls, new DDC Building Energy Management System, the latest heat recovery VRV heating/cooling, energy monitoring and lift car refurbishment. The project was complicated by the existence of existing/live tenants in areas adjacent or beneath the works that required the MEP design, phasing, and subsequent construction to recognise this with minimal disruption to their day-to-day activity.
Hulley & Kirkwood developed the scheme design to an advanced level prior to novation to a design and build contractor, where the detailed design was completed. We also produced a detailed design for a tenant's Cat B fit-out for the 4th floor, all to support a tenant who negotiated an early entry date.

Women And Reptiles
Russ Case December 1, 2011 7:08 pm
Move over guys, because women love reptiles, too!
Chameleon Eye Problem
Corn Snake Care Sheet Archived Comments
New Alligator Lizard Species Discovered And Described
For years, the reptilekeeping hobby was considered guy territory, with women peripherally interested, or at least tolerant of their guys' involvement with all things cold-blooded. When I was a kid growing up, it was not unusual to see the image of a little boy holding a snake or lizard out to a little girl who was running away screaming, whether this was in cartoons, TV shows or, occasionally, real life. Personally, I don't remember ever using a reptile or amphibian as a scare tactic, but I did witness such playground behavior once in a while. (TANGENT ALERT – Have you ever seen the show Scare Tactics? I must admit I derive sadistic glee from watching people get scared witless. The most hilarious Scare Tactics segment I've seen to date was the PETA activist who was confronted by the Rat Monster. You can see this clip, and many others from Scare Tactics, on YouTube – END OF TANGENT.)
Boys and herps were a natural together, pure Americana, with many of us badgering our mothers to please, please let us have a snake (or frog, or turtle, or lizard). I'm sure many mothers, especially those who were nervous around reptiles to begin with, regretted granting that permission when confronted by the escaped reptile of the week in the living room. Of course, there have been little girls who liked reptiles all along, but historically, reptiles were usually considered a guy thing.
Somewhere along the way, things changed. The next time you're at a reptile expo, pay attention and you'll notice just as many women wandering the aisles and enthusiastically examining the reptiles on display as there are men. And they're not just in the aisles – you'll see plenty of women vendors selling reptiles and amphibians, too. REPTILES magazine conducted a survey in April 2010, and we found that 66 percent of our readers were male and 34 percent were female. I don't have any official numbers for the reptile industry as a whole, but I would guess that the number of women keeping reptiles is slowly catching up to the number of men. I feel safe in saying that male hobbyists still outnumber the females, but I wouldn't be surprised if the gap is closing.
You'll find women involved in every aspect of the reptile world, including scientific research, retail and wholesale sales, conservation, education, manufacturing, zoos and museums, expos – everything. I can mention many that come to mind, but I would inevitably leave somebody off, so I'm not going to go down that road. It would take a long time to tally up all the women who are enmeshed in this industry. When gauging interest in the animals on the enthusiast level, you can simply examine activity here on ReptileChannel. There's no shortage of female Club Reptile members, and you'll often see comments from people of the female persuasion right here on my blog pages. I'm active on the REPTILES Facebook page, too, and women and girls post on there all the time.
Of course, the "women in reptiles" trend is reflected in my own REPTILES magazine editorial staff, with Managing Editor Stephanie Starr and Associate Editor Carrie Brenner. Plus there's the magazine's National Sales Manager, Sandy Quinn. Hey, I'm outnumbered! And many women have written articles for REPTILES over the years.
Right now, the women and reptiles theme is being promoted to help a conservation effort for coqui frogs. With a variety of collaborators, Jen Stabile, an amphibian keeper at the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens, organized the production of the Florida Girls of Herpetology 2011 calendar. Jen also appears in the calendar, as the model for November. The calendar features, in the words of photographer Bill Love, "herp babes" posed with an assortment of reptiles and amphibians, from Komodo monitors and eastern indigo snakes to gaboon vipers and Chinese alligators. Biographies of all 12 models are provided, and their reptile-related credentials are very impressive. For example, Denisse Abreu, the model for January, is the assistant director of Medtoxin Venom Laboratories and the Reptile Discovery Center, and she maintains a collection of more than 800 venomous snakes. February model Jennifer Evans is a Florida Fish and Wildlife-authorized gopher tortoise agent. March's Candace Donato works at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and is involved with various conservation efforts, and September model Tara Dodson is president of Keepers of the Coast, an organization committed to the conservation of sea turtles.
Sales from the calendar will provide financial support to aid in the construction of a Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens amphibian conservation facility for Puerto Rican coqui frogs (Eleutherodactylus spp.) as part of the Coqui Conservation Initiative (CCI). According to Jen Stabile, of the 17 species of coqui, three are extinct and 11 are either threatened or endangered. You can buy the calendar from various outlets, including Amazon.com, or by going here. It's for a good cause!

A GIS based flood risk mapping along the Niger-Benue river basin in Nigeria using watershed approach
A Akinbobola
EC Okogbue
OO Olajiire
Floods are water induced disasters that lead to temporary inundation of dry land and cause serious damages in the affected location such as loss of lives and properties and destruction of infrastructures. They have become common occurrences in every part Nigeria and the recorded impacts of flooding on the inhabitants are alarming, causing hundreds of deaths and rendering thousands homeless. The impact of floods on people globally has led to the development of mitigation measures that could reduce the associated risk of floods to a manageable point. The management of flood risk begins with identification of areas prone to flood. This study used the scientific technique of GIS to identify flood risk areas along the River Niger-Benue basin. Satellite imageries SRTM DEM that covers the study area was used in this research. Monthly rainfall data was used to generate maps of standardized precipitation index (SPI) for thirty years (1978 to 2007). The SPI maps were used to determine the degree of precipitation condition across Nigeria and also to identify the locations where flood events are being triggered. The SRTM DEM was used to generate the flow direction and flow accumulation maps. Flow direction and Flow accumulation were used to generate the watershed and flood risk map. The flood risk map shows that 45% of Nigeria towns and villages are within the flood risk zone. Finally, some recommendations were made which will help the policy makers improve on flood management in the country.
Key Words: Flood, Flood risk, Flow direction, Satellite imagery


In my teacup today is my twenty-second day of Christmas teas from TeaRevv. Today's selection is And Relax. This blend was deliciously herbal, and the perfect moment of calm that I needed after my stressful day of handmaking all my Christmas presents! This green tea was beautifully sweet, and that really complimented the strong herbs in this brew. The scent of lemongrass was really powerful, but in the flavours it was the rosemary, and citrusy tangerine that stood out. This fruity edge prompted an idea, and I mixed this tea with a shot of my favourite Edinburgh Gin Elderflower Liqueur. This little splash of booze was just what I needed to make the present-wrapping run smoothly. Bliss.
And Relax from TeaRevv is a perfect de-stresser after a hectic day of Christmas shopping, and is especially relaxing when served with a dash of Elderflower gin from Edinburgh Gin! Get your chilled out tea here.


Few organizations are prepared to mitigate supply-chain risks, despite a majority of them acknowledging they are a huge cyber threat.
Although nearly 80 percent of respondents in a recent survey believe software supply-chain attacks have the potential to become one of the biggest cyber threats over the next three years, few organizations are prepared to mitigate the risks. This state of affairs comes as businesses lose millions every year in remediating these types of attacks.
At the same time, 71 percent believe their organization does not always hold external suppliers to the same security standards. Only 37 percent of respondents in the US, UK and Singapore said their organization has vetted all suppliers, new or existing in the past 12 months.
Yet, on a sobering note, only a quarter believe with certainty their organization will increase its supply chain resilience in the future.
And finally, while supply chain threats can occur in every sector of the economy, the industries that mostly experience these attacks are biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, hospitality, entertainment and media, and IT services.
Google determined that Safe Browsing warnings correlate with quicker remediation times, though not as quick as direct contact with webmasters who have registered with Google Search Console.
I had an issue one time at my company where a user reported that someone was using his machine remotely. I investigated and found that the machine was being accessed via our IT consultants user account from an IP located in India. I immediately quarantined the machine and started digging deeper. Later on I found the same IP's logging into our company servers at odd times, like 2 or 3 in the morning. I immediately raised a red flag and started digging everywhere on the network for more signs of unauthorized use. I also reached out to the IT consultants to see if they were aware of the access. About 10 hours later after my boss also reached out to them their CTO finally responded and admitted that they occasionally outsource their business to India. I was livid. Here I was preparing for a total lockdown and it turns out our vendor was emailing our domain admin password all over the world. To make matters worse the company at the time was preparing to become DFARS compliant, so this was a major concern for us. How can we trust this IT company to steer us down the right path when they're obviously taking a "do as I say, not as I do" approach to our companies security? Needless to say my boss was not satisfied with their answer. When they didn't have answers to my questions about what their internal WISP and Password Policies are we decided to sever ties. It was for the best.

Pair locked up for attacking mosque with bacon
By virginiagolden
EDL, English Defence League, Racial Conviction, Uncategorized
A teenage girl and 39-year old man, who desecrated a mosque by attacking it with strips of bacon, have both been given custodial sentences.
Eighteen-year old Chelsea Lambie from Paisley and Douglas Cruikshank from Galashiels, were told by Sheriff Alistair Noble, sitting in Edinburgh: "It does not seem to me there is any way to deal with this case other than by custody".
In April of this year, the pair had denied behaving in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause fear and alarm in the early hours of January 31 last year, when along with another person, they wrapped bacon around the main door handles of the Central Mosque in Edinburgh's Potterrow and threw bacon into the premises. The Crown claimed the offence was racially aggravated.
During the five day trial, a security guard at the mosque, 34-year old Usman Mahmood, told the jury of eight women and seven men: "I was surprised if a person did it for a joke. It is against our culture and religion. We do not eat pork or even touch it. I felt very bad seeing this meat in my sacred place. It hurt my feelings when I saw this meat hanging inside the mosque in the worshipping area. It was very disturbing". He added that the situation could have been "much worse" if there had been more people in the mosque. There was only one man in the prayer room at the time.
On the final day of evidence, after representations by defence lawyers, Sheriff Alastair Noble deleted the racial aggravation from the indictment and Cruikshank pled guilty to the amended indictment. Lambie continued to deny the charge.
The jury saw CCTV footage from a Tesco store in Dalkeith, Scot-Mid in Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, a short distance from the mosque and the outside and inside of the mosque. All three showed two men and a woman. At the Tesco store at 4.45 am on January 31, the woman asked an assistant if she knew where to get the bus for the mosque in Edinburgh as she had to be there for 7.30.
At Scot-Mid, the two men and woman came into the store at 5.55 am and bought two packets of bacon. A short time later the same trio, all hooded, arrived at the mosque. Bacon was placed around the door handles and as the woman took a picture of the men on her mobile phone, they turned to face her. Bacon was removed from one of the handles and thrown inside onto the glass partition. The three then ran away laughing and were caught on CCTV. Police officers later identified Lambie, Cruikshank and the third person as Wayne Stilwel.
When Lambie was arrested at her boyfriend's home in Gorebridge on January 31, a Blackberry mobile phone was found in her clothing. Messages sent on January 31 included: "Going to invade a mosque, because we can go where we want". A message to the phone asked: "What you do last night?" and the reply: "Went to the mosque in Edinburgh and wrapped bacon round the door handles, opened the door and threw it in ha ha ha". Google searches on the phone were for the location of the mosque, addresses for taxis in Gorebridge and Dalkeith and at 14.59 on January 31: "Edinburgh mosque bacon search".
In her evidence, Lambie, who had admitted during a police interview to being a member of the Scottish Defence League, denied taking any part in the raid on the mosque. She said she had been in her boyfriend's house in Gorebridge all the time. As to the picture taken at the mosque and the messages, she told the court there were other people in the house and she left the phone on the living room table. "I let everyone in the house use it. It's a contract phone, free for everything" she said and added she did not know who had sent the messages.
The jury took just over an hour to return a majority verdict of guilty on Lambie and sentence was deferred for reports on both accused. The third person involved in the attack,Wayne Stilwel from Gorebridge, had pled guilty to a religiously aggravated attack on the mosque on August 27 last year and was sentenced to 10 months.
Defence solicitor, Gordon Ritchie, told Sheriff Noble that his client had become involved in the SDL through close family connections and had gone along with the offence. "She could have said 'No'" he added. Mr Ritchie said Lambie had now taken steps to distance herself from the organisation by returning to Paisley to live with her partner and young child. He suggested that a Community Payback Order would be appropriate.
Appearing for Cruikshank, Mark Harrower, reminded the Sheriff that his client had offered to plead guilty to the offence in June last year if the racial aggravation was removed, but The Crown had refused this. "As a result of that, matters dragged on. Mr Cruikshank had no option but to proceed to trial because of The Crown's stance" he said. He added that Cruikshank had been drinking heavily for 48 hours before the raid on the mosque. "He thought his actions were a joke at the time, but has expressed empathy that it was unpleasant for the witnesses at mosque".
Sentencing Lambie to 12 months detention, Sheriff Noble said he accepted she was a mother with a very young child, but she had continued to deny her guilt for the offence.
He accepted that Cruikshank had tried for many, many months to plead guilty and told him that if he had been found guilty at trial he would have sentenced him to 13 months in prison, but given his plea to the amended charge, he reduced that to nine months.

Tara Donovan
May 9 – June 26 , 2015
Pace Prints is pleased to present an exhibition of new editions and a sculptural work by Tara Donovan at its 32 East 57th Street gallery. The exhibition will run May 9—June 27, concurrent with Tara Donovan at Pace Gallery's 57th Street location, with a joint opening reception for both exhibitions Friday, May 8, 6-8pm.
The exhibition unveils a new series of prints, created in tandem with the artist's ongoing investigation of Slinkys® as a sculptural material. In an iteration of this exploration of form, the Slinkys® are deconstructed and refashioned to project two-dimensionally along the flat surface of a wall, forming meandering and layered patterns that expand or contract depending on the given spatial conditions.
Using the same method of construction, unique printmaking matrices of Slinkys® are produced and inked using an airbrush. An edition of large-scale, black and white relief prints are made from each matrix.
Tara Donovan (b. 1969, New York) creates large-scale installations and sculptures made from everyday objects. Known for her commitment to process, she has earned acclaim for her ability to discover the inherent physical characteristics of an object and transform it into art. Donovan's many accolades include the prestigious MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Award (2008); and first annual Calder Prize (2005), among others. For over a decade, numerous museums have mounted solo exhibitions of Donovan's work including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2007-2008), UCLA Hammer Museum (2004), and Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (1999-2000). Donovan's work appears in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Title: The efficient relationship between residual security risk and security investment for maritime port facilities
Author: Talas, Risto Henrik Aleksander
Awarding Body: City University London
Current Institution: City, University of London
https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/8730/
The research employs an adaptive cross-disciplinary research strategy in an industrial example to address port facilities' inability to assess whether their security systems are efficient. The research combines a twin-pronged approach of first, adapting Markowitz (1952) theory of portfolio selection from the field of finance to maritime port security to examine each port facility's security systems as a portfolio; and secondly, through portfolio optimization to construct the optimum theoretical portfolio of security systems drawn from a number of different port facilities owned by Dubai Ports World. The research builds on the existing literature and proposes new definitions of security, port security, port security risk and port security risk management. The research also develops a model of port security risk based on Willis et al's (2005) definition of terrorist risk. Furthermore, the research builds on the work of Gleason (1980) and examines terrorist attacks on ports and on shipping in ports between 1968 and 2007 and shows, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, that they follow a Poisson distribution. The contribution which the research makes is in terms of adapting Markowitz (1952) theory to the port security environment; and the modelling and measurement of the impact of the introduction of new port security technology, changes in background port security threat levels and for the planning of port security in Greenfield sites. Furthermore, the adaptive approach of the research is generalisable to all nodes in the supply chain and is not limited to port facilities alone.

Criticism of the Obama Administration's mortgage bailout, the Home Affordable Modification Program, is reaching a fever pitch, and I know this because, among other things, the Administration itself appears to be mounting a defense.
Recently, reporters who cover housing were called to the Treasury Department for a "background briefing" by Administration officials, who tried to focus attention on the many, varied Administration efforts to stabilize housing; the message was...it's not all about our modification program.
Yesterday I received several emailed announcements from both HUD and the Treasury. One alerted us to a "Conference on the Future of Housing Finance,"set for quite possibly the slowest news week near the end of August.
The conference will include, "leading academic experts, consumer and community organizations, industry groups, market participants, and other stakeholders for an open discussion about housing finance reform."
Moments after that email came in, another flashed: "Treasury's Goldstein Pens White House Blog Post: "Moving Forward on Housing Finance Reform." So obviously here we go with the push to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which we all knew was coming after the passage of Fin Reg. In the blog, Goldstein's blog assures that "work is under way" and the "commitment to public engagement will continue."
Goldstein affirms the Administration stance that " the current structure of the government's role in the housing finance market is unsustainable and unacceptable," but he also defends the lack of action thus far, which "could have destabilized an already fragile housing industry and made it even more difficult for Americans to buy a home or refinance a mortgage."
Barely a few hours after that I received more email announcements from HUD, one touting a new report that shows "states have awarded more than $4 billion in recovery act funds to create jobs, build affordable housing." In another, HUD announced that $79 million in grants is available for housing counseling "to help hundreds of thousands avoid foreclosure or make informed home purchases."
I'm not drawing any particular conclusions, but tomorrow President Obama will be speaking at the Urban League conference at the Washington DC Convention Center. This is the same venue where the NACA 8-Day foreclosure prevention event is still going on. We were there last Friday, as thousands of borrowers lined up overnight to try to get mortgage modifications under the NACA agreement with lenders.
Today NACA's chief, Bruce Marks, announced they would hold a protest as the President arrives at the Convention Center tomorrow. "Over a thousand homeowners will urge President Obama to advocate for homeowners...Homeowners from around the country say that President Obama's Making Home Affordable plan has not helped the vast majority of homeowners in trouble with their loans and does not go far enough by excluding FHA backed loans."
What's so interesting about this event is that I'm guessing the bulk of the protestors are overall Obama supporters. The majority of NACA employees and volunteers are minorities and largely Democrats. Bruce Marks says he voted for Obama and supported him. This will be the first large-scale, organized protest of the Administration's housing bailout, and given who is protesting, it will be hard for the President to ignore.

Iran and P5+1 Start Talks
Iran's nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, secretary of the country's Supreme National Security Council, speaks at a press conference in Geneva.
For the first time in over a year, Iran met for talks with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
This month, for the first time in over a year, Iran met for talks with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – Britain, China, France, Russia, and the U.S. – along with Germany, the group known as the P5+1.
The two-day meeting was held in Geneva, and took place six months after the Security Council imposed its fourth and toughest round of economic sanctions on Iran because of its failure to live up to its international nuclear obligations. Iran and the P5+1 have agreed to meet again next month in Istanbul, Turkey.
Speaking in Bahrain shortly before the Geneva talks, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emphasized that the United States remains committed to the sincere offer of dialogue that President Barack Obama offered Iran when he assumed office two years ago.
But the position of the international community is clear, Secretary Clinton said. Iran has the right to a peaceful nuclear program; but Iran must comply with its nuclear obligations, and fully address the world's concern about its nuclear activities.
"We know that Iran is home to one of humankind's great civilizations," said Secretary Clinton. "The Iranian people are heirs to that tradition with tremendous potential to contribute to the world we are building together. And the world in turn would benefit from the full participation of the Iranian nation in the political, social and economic life of this region.
"We continue to make this offer of engagement with respect to [Iran's] sovereignty and with regard to [its] interests," she said. "But also with an iron clad commitment to defending global security and the world's interests in a peaceful and prosperous Gulf region."

Viacom is going to try to succeed where NBC's Dotcomedy, HBO's ThisJustIn and many others have failed. They're relaunching Atom Films, which was supposed to be an aggregator of short indie film clips, as Atom.com, an aggregator of short comedy clips. The old site is supposed to disappear at 5 pm ET.
Viacom execs have a lengthy explanation about the shift, but it's pretty straightforward: They bought Atom, along with Shockwave and Addicting Games, for $200 million in 2006, and besides providing them with exec talent — Atom co-founder Mika Salmi is president of digital for MTV Networks — Atom hasn't done much. But comedy sites seem to do ok, or at least seem like they could, so they'll try that. Atom.com is launching with four original series (including "Stickman Exodus," pictured), and like dozens of other sites targeted at young dudes, is soliciting submissions. Each week users vote on new shorts and the top videos get promoted to "pro" status, qualify for a revenue-share deal, and get distribution through iTunes, AOL, Bebo, DailyMotion, Veoh and xBox Live. And, they may also get on TV: Comedy Central launched "Atom TV," a half-hour series airing Monday nights at 2 a.m.
Like the old Atom Films, Atom.com will share a percentage of ad revenue with creators that achieve "pro" status. Theoretically, a viral video that gets 50% of Atom.com's traffic would get 50% of the revenue paid to contributors. The site inherits 1.9 million monthly uniques from Atom Films, the company said. We hope for Atom's sake, and for Break.com, Metacafe, Stupidvideos, Heavy.com, FunnyOrDie, Comedy.com, etc, that there are enough funny shorts and young, bored guys to go around.

Rashid Sumaila to talk about the Sustainable Blue Economy in Perth
February 14, 2019 January 8, 2020
Rashid Sumaila. Photo by Pew Charitable Trusts.
Rashid Sumaila, Director of the Fisheries Economics Research Unit at the University of British Columbia and Associated Faculty at the Sea Around Us, will be visiting Perth and offering a lecture on February 19, 2019.
In his public talk, titled How to achieve a sustainable blue economy, he will explore the different options our society has to successfully manage the ocean and ensure its long-term sustainability.
In Sumaila's view, there are effective strategies to tackle global warming and climate change, to provide good subsidies to the fisheries sector, and to effectively manage the high seas.
He argues that the chance to manage our ocean successfully for people and nature depends strongly on our ability to tackle the issues that affect the conservation and fair sharing of benefits from our ocean in such a way that positive feedbacks are transmitted between the two. The alternative –he says- is for negative feedbacks from conservation to people, and vice versa, to the detriment of both people and nature.
The lecture in which Dr. Sumaila will elaborate on these points will be held at the Theatre Auditorium of the University Club of Western Australia from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. RSVP here.
Professor Rashid Sumaila is a globally recognized fisheries economist, with over 230 peer-reviewed publications, and over 60 books or book chapters. He has a Google Scholar h-index of 70 with over 20,000 citations. Rashid specializes in bioeconomics, marine ecosystem valuation and the analysis of global issues such as fisheries subsidies, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and the economics of high and deep seas fisheries.
Professor Sumaila has experience working in fisheries and natural resource projects in Norway, Canada and the North Atlantic region, Namibia and the Southern African region, Ghana and the West African region and Hong Kong and the South China Sea.
He is currently UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellow and a UWA Forrest Visiting Fellow.

Sierra Leone introduces E-Pass to businesses
The Government of Sierra Leone and their partners have introduced an Electronic Pass (E-Pass) Management System to give businesses operating during the COVID-19 pandemic access to transport, food and other essential goods in and out of districts across the country.
The E-Pass Management System was created by the Directorate of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Sanitation (MoHS), Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) and Niche Solutions as part of an integrated ICT response to COVID-19.
According to DSTI, the COVID-19 National Response Emergency Operational Centre (EOC) will issue E-Passes to individuals and organisations that offer essential services and functions that are necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic. Essential services include goods and other supplies which Sierra Leoneans need to survive, such as medical supplies, food, public works (electricity and water), telecommunications and gasoline.
The DSTI Director, Michala Mackay, said the electronic issuance of passes was created to make work easier for the EOC to process requests and authorise the movement of essential goods and service providers during the COVID-19 lockdown and curfew in a transparent and auditable process.
Michala Mackay stated, "We are mobilising tech resources from within our existing ecosystem to provide government and citizens with the tools they need to stop the spread of the pandemic while mitigating the impact on essential services."
E-Pass applications will be processed within 12 hours of submission and within 6 hours for emergency requests. An SMS will be sent to approve or reject the application.
The system can only be used by the individual or vehicle whose name and registration number appear on the pass. Security officials at inter-district and other checkpoints will carry out verifications using USSD and other mobile solutions.
Meanwhile, the tech group announced that a consortium of public and private technology experts will continue to develop tools that would enhance and strengthen existing systems to support the government efforts in response to COVID-19.
The Government of Sierra Leone announced an indefinite extension of the previous lockdown and curfew a day before the 14-day lockdown was due to end. The government declared the lockdown in order to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has killed four Sierra Leoneans this week.

Q: How repeat part of function Swift still learning the basics. I have a function in which there is a block, that needs to be repeated without calling the whole function again. How is this done in Swift?
func connected(to peripheral: Peripheral) {
    let cwConnection = CWStatusBarNotification()
    cwConnection.display(withMessage: "Ring Connected", forDuration: 3)

    BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo { (success) in
        if success {
            // Go on
        } else {
            // Repeat this block (BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo)
        }
    }
}

A: Hey Riyan it's just simple. Here is the solution to your problem. Just put the block in other small method and when you just need to call that block call that small function.
func connected(to peripheral: Peripheral) {
    let cwConnection = CWStatusBarNotification()
    cwConnection.display(withMessage: "Ring Connected", forDuration: 3)

    self.callBluejayManagerShared() // Call of block from method
}

func callBluejayManagerShared(){
    BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo { (success) in
        if success {
            // Go on
        } else {
            // Repeat this block (BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo)
            self.callBluejayManagerShared()
        }
    }
}

Now when you just want to call block you just need to call self.callBluejayManagerShared() method.
Hope this help you

A: You can use repeat - while around and BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo check for success as break condition:
repeatGetInfo: repeat {
    BluejayManager.shared.getHeliosInfo
    { (success) in
            if success
            {
                // do your stuff.
                break repeatGetInfo
            } else
            {
                continue repeatGetInfo
            }
        }
} while true

Hope this helps

American Graffiti's yellow beauty tops the list, followed by the likes of Burt Reynold's Trans-AM number from Smokey and the Bandit and more recent inclusions such as the F1 car recently seen throttled around vintage tracks in Senna. It's a lovely little list.

Q: Ionic - how to change permissions requestor name I have an Angular Ionic app that uses geolocation / Google Maps. When it requests permissions for location, on web and Android it uses the url (so localhost:4200, for example) and on iOS it just reads as "://".
Where do I configure the requestor name for permissions? I want it to read

"App Name" Would Like To Use Your Current Location

So for clarity: I don't want the url on Android/Web, and I don't want the blank string on iOS. I want it to read as the app name.

Q: InnerHTML dissapearing on setInterval Function I have written a simple script and it's job is to change a innerHTML of a random element in one section of the page. Somehow when I call the function, and set it to fire every 1 second, when innerHTML of a specific element is changed, it doesn't stay that way , it just clears itself and moves on to another element. Can anyone help me with this. Here is the code, thanks in advance.
 window.onload = function() {
    var box1 = document.getElementById("one");
    var box2 = document.getElementById("two");
    var box3 = document.getElementById("three");
    var box4 = document.getElementById("four");
    var box5 = document.getElementById("five");
    var box6 = document.getElementById("six");
    var box7 = document.getElementById("seven");
    var box8 = document.getElementById("eight");

    var headingArray = ["RAVE", "RUN", "PAINT"];
    var iconArray = ["ion-usb", "ion-android-walk", "ion-android-color-palette"];
    var paragraphArray = ["Wanna good time? <br> Check out nearest party centres","Check out running tracks", "Ckeck out painting places"];

    var boxArray = [box1,box2,box3,box4,box5,box6,box7,box8];
    var heading = document.createElement("h2");
    var icon = document.createElement("i");
    var paragraph = document.createElement("p");

    function getRandomNumberForContent() {
        var randomHeading = Math.round(Math.random()*2) + 0;
        return randomHeading;
    }
    function getRandomNumberForBox() {
        var randomNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*7) + 0;
        return randomNumber;
    }

    function changeBox() {
        var random = getRandomNumberForContent();
        heading.innerHTML = headingArray[random];
        icon.className = "icon "+iconArray[random]+" big";
        paragraph.innerHTML = paragraphArray[random];

        var randomNum = getRandomNumberForBox();
        boxArray[randomNum].innerHTML = "";
        boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(heading);
        boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(icon);
        boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(paragraph);
    }

    setInterval(changeBox,1000);
}

A: You are somewhat moving the element to the new div each time the function is called, because you are assigning as a child the same element, not a copy of it.
You should create the new element inside the changeBox function.
That's the answer. If you create it outside the function, they will be a unique element that you are assigning either to one div or another.

A: I assume that it moves to another element because you append the same elements somewhere else. You could clone the elements when you append them:
boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(heading.cloneNode(true));
boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(icon.cloneNode(true));
boxArray[randomNum].appendChild(paragraph.cloneNode(true));

Analysis of Post-War Armenia and the Way Forward
November 9th, 2020 was not only the end of the active stage of hostilities between Armenian and Azerbaijani-Turkish armed forces on Artsakh's territory but also the end of Armenia's third republic, something that the present government doesn't appear to realize. Presently, Armenia's government doesn't have the same public support that it had a few years ago and symbolizes Armenia's defeat not only on the battlefield but also in the diplomatic arena. Armenia's present political and geopolitical situation is similar to a drowning person with hands handcuffed behind his back on his way to hit the bottom of the pool. Attempting to break the handcuffs at this point and try to swim up to the surface will do more harm than good and become the cause of his eventual drowning. The solution to the present situation is to wait until it hits the bottom and then spring up towards the surface while breaking the handcuffs in the process. To accomplish that, the Armenian people must take their future into their own hands and through grassroots efforts, rebuild Armenia from the bottom up, shaking away its upper echelons of power who no longer represent the Armenian people and pursue foreign and false agendas to the detriment of Armenian people and the security of the Armenian state. The sooner Armenian people wake up, the more time they will have to change its present trajectory leading the country and the nation to its final demise.

Regional War or Economic Development: Challenges and Threats of the Moscow Summit
By Hrachya Arzumanian
The summit in Moscow focused on issues of partial restoration of the region's transport infrastructure, but not on military and political issues. The architecture of the region and the processes taking place in it are formed within the framework of two different logics: economic development and military. One can speak of the contradictory nature of the Moscow summit, when discussing the problems of economic development and infrastructure development, its participants operated with the categories of military logic. However, the formation of the future architecture of the region solely within the framework of military logic is doubtful, and the agreements reached are unstable, since they may conflict with the interests of other actors who did not participate in the summit.

Legal Aspects of Relations Between Republics of Armenia and Artsakh: past, present and future
By Hrachya Arzumanyan
The ceasefire of 2020 created a number of diplomatic and political problems in relations between Artsakh and Armenia and in the international arena. The relationship between the Republics of Armenia and Artsakh remained unregulated for the post-Soviet period when the Armenian state approached the war with uncertain legal status in relations between the two republics. Winning countries having resolved the problem of Artsakh within the framework of politics and the strategy of "fait accompli" which have formulated the results of the war that were signed by Armenia's Prime Minister creating legal, diplomatic and political collision while disfranchising the residents of Artsakh from political and jurisdiction rights. The Armenian statehood and the government need to start formulating their approach to the problem of Artsakh's status change and its residents, and towards the future of the Artsakh conflict regulation.

Armenia's Manifest Destiny
The humiliating defeat of the Artsakh Defense Army and its supporting armed volunteer fighters from Armenia during the 44 Day War has prompted a lot of soul searching among Armenians around the world. The outcome of the war was very unexpected due to Armenia's MoD's false narrative, which consistently lied to people for the entire duration of the war, insisting that the Armenian side was winning the war only to find out later on that the Armenian side was losing the war. Illegal ceasefire declaration that was forced upon Armenia and dutifully implemented by the Pashinyan's government as if it was a binding international treaty has outraged Armenians not only in the mainland but also abroad. Furthermore, ceding territories that were under Armenian control at the time of the ceasefire declaration despite the fact that the ceasefire declaration allowed each side to maintain territories under one's control at the time of the signing of the infamous declaration has prompted legitimate concerns among Armenians everywhere that there were additional points of agreement between Pashinyan and Aliyev that the Armenian people were not told about.

The Cookie Law is not about the Cookies
By: WordPressAdministrator | Monday, October 5, 2015 | Tagged: Consent, Cookie Compliance, Facebook, Lotame, Optanon
When you use cookies on a website, you are very often collecting data about people. Most of the time you can argue that the consequences of this are minor, and most or the time that is mostly true. Sometimes however this exposes those individuals to risks. If those people happen to be some of the more vulnerable members of society, those risks can be significant. If you allow that data to get into the hands of other organisations with no control over what can happen to it, those risks are greater still. And if you are an organisation that is supposed to be helping those people, but seem to be either unaware of these risks, or ignoring them, then this becomes a serious failure in duty of care.
