Please respond to me as quickly as you can about experimenting in time travel technology. International Data Technology will aid you acquire the technology expertise that businesses are demanding. Developing on the productivity supplied by automation is the technology of artificial intelligence. I would like to express why I would advocate Worldwide Details Technology (Global-itech) to anybody who wishes to additional their profession in the Data Technology. As technology becomes much more advanced, it will commence to displace an increasingly large quantity of employs, whilst in turn benefiting a quite little subset of the current workforce.
I suspect that some teachers, like some students, are misunderstanding the intent and uses of technology in the classroom misunderstanding how to integrate technology and teaching and studying. Firms take the requirements initially simply because each person consumer has got different requirement and then the businesses make a decision about the printing material, technology of printing and the format of the, to be printed matter. The level of effectiveness of educational technology is influenced by the distinct student population, the computer software style, the teacher's function, how the students are grouped, and the level of student access to the technology. In addition, authorities say that technology dependency is equally as hazardous as getting obese, or tobacco smoking.
I do think we are developing ever-further apart, and I think technology has played a function in that. Sounds archaic but I am positive it nonetheless happens in poor countries and exactly where technology has nevertheless not managed to reach. As an alternative of us utilizing the brain we were given to produce great, we have destroyed the brain structure and infested it with the technology we created. In addition, the significance of this struggle could lead to the whole planet to live off of technology as if it have been a slave, and predictions could indicate that society will enhance to grow to be overly lazy, sleep deprived, and destroyers of the all-natural habits that are complete of life.

The reading today, Genesis 20-22, provided many resources for more profound thought and reflection. We see Sarah and Abraham's trick on Abimelech that nearly cost the king his life, the birth of Isaac, and the ultimate sacrifice pitting father against son. Where do we start? Each story provides opportunities to share pertinent ideas about the relationship between God and His people.
The story that caught my eye almost always goes unnoticed. It is the accounting of Hagar (Gen. 21:8-21). We might look and think, "How petty is Sarah that she should harbor ill will against her husband's son?" She is the one who insisted that Abraham have a child with her servant. Situations may change, but promises do not.
So Abraham does Sarah's dirty work and casts Hagar and Ishmael out of the area. Things are okay for a while, but then Hagar runs out of water given to her. She leaves Ishmael and sits with her back to him for fear she would catch a glimpse of panic and starvation in his eyes. At this moment, in the middle of her deepest grief when nothing seems to help, God calls to her.
We certainly know what it feels like to feel hopeless and at the end of our rope. We cry out, sobbing to God. "Why did this happen to me?" Our soul feels like it will break with pain.
In the moments of our greatest struggles, God calls out to us. The message may be soft or loud, but it comes from the same place. The voice that encourages us to get up and rise. The One, who reminds us over and over again that His promises will be fulfilled.
On this day, let us be grateful for Hagar's example and get up and be restored to wholeness. Let us praise our God who continues to redeem us and bring us to new life. The author of unending love assured us that there will never be a time that we will walk the path by ourselves. Praise be to God for divine guidance.


A few years ago, the idea of living in a box measuring just 20 feet by 8 feet would have been frowned upon. Not today though! For more and more people are turning towards what is being called 'green architecture'! In addition, one of the latest fads in this segment pertains to living in giant recycled shipping containers that are creatively transformed into astounding pieces of reusable architecture. In addition to being inexpensive, these containers are easily available (almost 300 million empty containers all around the world) and can be used in a variety of indigenous ways. They can be stacked one above the other, can be lined together or can even be placed haphazardly over one another like toy bricks to give off an innovative feel. So if you are seriously considering the prospect of opting for shipping containers to build your new home, here are some fantastic designs you can draw inspiration from!
Located on the shores of the Manhattan Beach in California, the Redondo Beach House is made up of eight shipping containers and has 20-foot ceilings (one of the perks of a shipping container) in addition to an outdoor pool. Spacious and cozy, the house's aesthetic design and interiors have earned it several architectural awards. The Redondo Beach House was also featured in CNN and is definitely one of those houses that definitely don't look as if they have been made of recycled shipping containers.
The unique feature of this particular shipping container home in New York is that in spite of being made of just one shipping container measuring 40 feet by 8 feet, the house looks anything but claustrophobic.
The reason? LOT-EK has creatively created pop out extensions that literally make the walls of this home move backward whenever more space is needed. With all its extensions in full view (including a bed, sofa, desk, kitchen, reading corner, storage area and a bathroom) the house would look like an oversized accordion. And when it's time to hit the road again, the extensions move back into their allotted slots, reducing the container to its original size. Now how's that for creativity?
What's more surprising than a home built out of reused shipping containers? Walk into the Container House in Bay Area, Berkeley, California to find out. The designers of this particular shipping container home took the meaning of 'green architecture' to a whole new level altogether! What greet you in this 1350 square foot home made out of 3 refrigerated containers are bamboo floorings, wool carpeting, green bells, whistles and energy efficient appliances (EnergyStar). Simple and really eco-friendly! There is absolutely no way you can tell the house is made from recycled shipping containers.
Located in Mexico, the container house by this Mexican designer is custom designed (the owner has good taste we tell you) and looks really hip.The house itself serves the purpose of being the perfect place to work, sleep and live. Made up of three containers stacked one above the other, the modernist home houses a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, individual climate control system and all the other perks of a conventional lifestyle within its walls.
This stylish abode is actually a recreational retreat that can actually be moved around wherever you want. The house is made of a single container, which uses recycled rubber for its flooring and a soy-based insulation. The container also houses a paned window that is controlled by an electric winch. The winch uses solar power to open and close the window. Better yet, the window can also be lowered to form a deck for outdoor lounging. Cool, don't you think?

Facebook's outage cost the company nearly $100 million in revenue
Facebook's extended downtime on Monday resulted in plenty of memes, frustrated users, and a likely productivity boost at offices across the world. At Facebook, though, it was a notable financial event.
As of 7:00 p.m. ET, when the company announced it was coming back online, Facebook saw estimated total lost revenues of roughly $99.75 million, based on Fortune estimates.
The figure is based on Facebook's second quarter earnings, which saw revenue of $29.08 billion over a 91-day period. That works out an average of $319.6 million per day or $13.3 million per hour. (The figure does not account for peak traffic periods or days of the week.)
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger went down at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET., according to DownDetector, coming back online just after 7 p.m. ET.
For many companies, a $100 million drop in revenue over any time period would be a financial event of significant concern. For Facebook, it is (for now) a drop in the bucket that investors will likely shrug off.
The company's stock also took a separate beating Monday, following a whistleblower report that Facebook routinely chose 'profit over safety.' It closed down about 4.9%.
In a 60 Minutes interview Sunday, Frances Haugen, a former product manager at the company, revealed herself as the person who leaked a series of internal Facebook research to the Wall Street Journal and lawmakers.
Haugen alleged in the interview that Facebook prematurely deactivated certain safeguards intended to prevent the spread of misinformation and offensive content soon after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. She believes that decision was a factor in the Jan. 6 Capitol Riots, where pro-Trump advocates stormed the Capitol.
Facebook has downplayed the significance of the documents.
Update (10/4/21): This article has been updated to reflect the estimated revenue losses for the entirety of Facebook's downtime on Monday.

League of Women Voters of Sioux City records
Scope and Contents The League of Women Voters of Sioux City records date from 1978 to 1993 and measure 2.5 linear inches. The bulk of the collection consists of newspaper clippings from the Sioux City Journal and the Des Moines Register chronicling local debates in the late 1970s about Sioux City's urban renewal and city government structure. Clippings on how other Iowa cities were handling these issues in their communities are included. The home rule charter folder includes the proposal submitted by the Sioux City Charter Commission to the mayor and city council, which called for re-structuring the city's government; among other things, the new charter would have given more power to the mayor. The proposed charter was hotly debated for several months and defeated in a narrow vote; the League opposed the charter. The urban renewal newspaper clippings describe conflicts over how to maintain a vital business sector, and an investigation into charges that a developer had misused...

Publication Notice: Dr. Rokshana Chherawala
Coquitlam, Burnaby and Pitt Meadows, B.C.
CDSBC
Dr. Rokshana Chherawala has admitted that she engaged in professional misconduct by:
billing a dental insurer for management of oral disease when no disease was diagnosed and a Velscope procedure was performed;
billing for treatment other than that which she provided to three patients;
billing for unnecessary treatment that had no clinical benefit to the patient to five patients;
providing substandard treatment (prosthodontic, periodontic and endodontal) to nine patients;
improper delegation to a dental hygienist by regularly permitting the hygienist to make a diagnosis through the use of the Velscope; and
failing to maintain adequate dental records for seven patients.
The investigation of the complaint made by an insurance company resulted in a citation (notice of discipline hearing) against Dr. Chherawala. The hearing was avoided when the Inquiry Committee accepted the consent agreement that Dr. Chherawala submitted to address the College's concerns.
Dr. Chherawala has consented to:
a one month suspension from practice (effective April 20, 2016);
payment of a $10,000 fine and $2,500 in costs;
successful completion of a multi-day professional ethics course;
successful completion of mentorship programs at her own expense, to be led by CDSBC-approved mentors for each of: prosthodontics (six sessions); periodontics (six sessions), and endodontics (one session)
arrange for repair/replacement of substandard treatment provided to nine patients who were identified through the investigation, at no cost to them; and
a monitoring and inspection agreement with the College that includes chart reviews.
Dr. Chherawala has also made a sizeable offer to repay funds to the insurance company.
Dr. Chherawala had earlier agreed to a limitation on her practice while the investigation was ongoing (she could not provide endodontic and prosthodontics procedures). Upon the successful completion of the remedial program outlined above, this practice limitation will be removed.

Cuentas Signs Binding Letter of Intent to Purchase SDI Black 011 LLC and Mango Tel LLC for USD 3.2M
January 10, 2022 Jack Sylva
Cuentas, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUEN) (NASDAQ: CUENW) ("Cuentas"), a leading fintech provider of mobile banking and payment solutions, has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire the operations and distribution network of prepaid wireless and digital provider SDI Black 011 (SDI), as well as Mango Mobile and Black Wireless. The deal is expected to close by or before May of this year.
Cuentas previously invested in the expansion of the SDI network and will leverage these assets to accelerate reach of the Cuentas prepaid debit card and digital wallet via retail, mobile and other channels. SDI generated more than $9 million in retail revenue in 2021.
"This acquisition will drive more recurring revenue and create new operational efficiencies for Cuentas," said Jeff Johnson, CEO of Cuentas. "We expect SDIs profitable assets to contribute to economies of scale across our business, and enable more solutions within the Cuentas mobile app, driving higher profits and accelerating market growth in our core fintech business."
The SDI B2B portal serves over 30,000 US bodegas, wireless retailers and convenience stores, and will enable retailers to sell from a portfolio of hundreds of virtual products without carrying inventory, generating incremental profits in real-time.
Black 011 and its brands already have hundreds of thousands of subscribers who purchase services via the SDI website and digital portal, both of which connect via API to the largest wireless companies in the world. This technology allows SDI to be one of the largest distribution channels for wireless services in the New York City metro tri-state area and nationwide.
Through this acquisition, both retailers and Black 011 subscribers will benefit from access to Cuentas solutions including the Cuentas Prepaid Debit card, OMNY Transit, Amazon cash, prepaid gift cards, rebates, new offers and more.

There's little doubt Ted Thompson was targeting defensive help with his first round pick in last year's draft. But when big Bryan Bulaga, a projected top 15 pick, was still available at #23, Thompson pounced--knowing that he needed a young left tackle to protect his franchise QB.
Thompson had held off a strong play by the Redskins and resigned veteran Chad Clifton, paying him $7.5 million to return on his aching knees. But his play on Sunday showed that his knees are winning the battle and he doesn't appear able to play anywhere near the level he's accustomed to, particularly when it comes to run blocking. Mike McCarthy pulled him in the first half, after watching him come up short against the Bills' non-descript defensive end.
With Julius Peppers looming on Monday night, the Packers need to throw Bulaga in there and see what he can do. You can expect a fullback to be right behind him on most passing downs to provide assistance when necessary. In the opener, Peppers drilled Matthew Stafford and knocked him out for a month with a shoulder injury. Peppers will move around and the Pack will pay close attention wherever he is. He has a rap for taking plays off, but under the bright lights of Monday Night Football I expect him to be jacked up for all 60 minutes.
While the Bears defense played surprisingly well in Dallas, let's not forget they allowed the Lions to march up and down the field at Soldier Field and were only a ridiculous rule away from losing the opener at home to Detroit. Their secondary is still below average, so with time Rodgers should pick them apart.
Time. That will be the key on Monday night. After a rough first half in Philadelphia, the offensive line has settled down and played very well in pass protection. With Bulaga's insertion the running game should prosper, since he's reportedly miles ahead of Clifton in this phase of his game. This will be a much stiffer test for that unit. The crowd will be crazy--there are few things more aggravating on this planet than cocky Bears fans--and that is what we will have in store on Monday night.
If this does mark the beginning of the Bulaga era, let's doff our caps to Chad Clifton, who provided years of excellence and helped keep two Pro Bowl QBs healthy, game in and game out. He becomes an expensive insurance policy for the Pack, but a worthwhile one--to school the Iowa kid and to be available if Bulaga goes down.


I have no buttons or display on my device, so I will need to strip out all of the display related code.
This information will be helpful once I establish a data connection.
I am still having trouble establishing the initial connection though. When the module is powered on, it does not have a data connection to the Verizon network. How do I establish the data connection. I think this should happen before I can send any information.
When the module is powered on, I have an IP address of 0.0.0.0. How can I connect to Verizon to request an IP address? When using the serial connection to my PC I can use the module as a modem and call #777 to establish a data connection. I need to do something similar automatically on the module with no PC.
Does this code need its own applet, or can it be incorporated into another applet?
If it needs its own applet, how can I pass variables between two applets?
You can use code i provided for reference and can be used in any other applet. You can use IShell_PostEvent() to pass the data in two applets asynchronously. You can also use ISHELL_SendEvent() to send the data synchronously.
IWEB_GetResponse api and passing the necessary parameters. This will include an asynchronous callback that will get called when there is data to read from the server response. Most if not all of the 1.2 http headers are supported and there are hooks to process values that come back in the headers instead of the message response body.


In small groups, students analyze short excerpts from primary sources and secondary information that describe an encounter between the Lewis and Clark expedition and a Native American tribe. They share their analysis with the class and consider how varied locations influenced the ways in which the explorers and the various Native tribes interacted.
Encouraging students to work collaboratively in groups, this lesson asks students to think and write about history from multiple viewpoints. The primary source excerpts, primarily from the expedition members' journals, are a bit challenging, but they are brief and informative. Short expository passages describe different Native American groups and their encounter with the expedition. The absence of primary documents from the Native American perspective provides an opportunity to discuss what sources of information make up the historical record.
Additionally, and maybe more importantly, the lesson engages students in geographic analysis. Using geographic indicators, students must locate each encounter at a specific site on expedition maps. Students consider the varied physical environments that Lewis and Clark encountered and how these connect to cultural variations between the Native American tribes whom they met. This lesson pays special attention to the differences between Native American cultures, countering a common student belief that all Indians lived alike.
We like the closing activity where each group reports back to the whole class before a large group discussion on the similarities and differences between the encounters. The suggested assessment asks students to write about one of the encounters from the perspective of Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark's Native American guide, or York, a slave on the expedition. Unless this lesson is taught in conjunction with the film or other rich resources providing additional background information, this assessment seems ill-suited as students likely need more background to complete these essays successfully.
The lesson is part of a set tied to the film Lewis and Clark: Great Journey West, although it may be used independently. The website provides documents and background information about the expedition. National Geographic also offers searchable journal entries written by various expedition members and photos, details about the expeditions, and additional lessons and activities.
Yes Uses primary sources from the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Includes historical background? No We recommend that teachers include additional background information.
Yes Students read about environments, resources, and daily life in different places and write about how and why people from different groups perceived events differently.
Yes Students' historical and geographic analysis skills are fostered through interpretation of primary and informational texts and maps.
Yes Students must read documents and maps closely in order to compare different perspectives.
Yes Some of the document prose is challenging, but grouping students by mixed ability can help address comprehension issues.
No Teachers may need to create scaffolding questions to guide their students during group work.
No Assessment is vague. Teachers may wish to design their own assessments that involve students in viewing the expedition from multiple viewpoints or considering how location influences cultural variation.
Yes Activities require students to examine an event from multiple viewpoints. Students also have the opportunity to see how geography influenced both Native American groups and the expedition members .

New Study Finds Stem Cell Therapy via Intra-Carotid Artery Infusion Safe for Treatment of Stroke
Source: HealthCanal
(MIAMI, Fla.) — A yearlong study of patients who had suffered from ischemic strokes, led by physician-scientists at the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the Miller School of Medicine, has found that stem cells can be safely infused to the brain through the carotid artery within two weeks after a stroke.
The national co-principal investigator of the study, Dileep R. Yavagal, M.D., associate professor of neurology at the Miller School, presented the discovery abstract of the RECOVER-Stroke trial entitled Intra-Arterial Delivery of Autologous ALDHbr Cells in Ischemic Stroke: Final 1-Year Results of the RECOVER-Stroke Trial at the European Stroke Organization Conference, in the UK. The findings provide new hope for future stroke treatments as well as for other brain-related illnesses.
"We are excited by the findings of the new study as it offers promise for stroke victims and for those with other neurological conditions," says Yavagal, who is also Director of Interventional Neurology, Co-Director of Endovascular Neurology, associate professor of neurological surgery and a member of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute. "Previous thought was that stem cell use for brain conditions could lead to worsening stroke or even brain cancer. The conclusions of our research prove that stem cells are safe when given through the carotid artery with a small catheter to treat neurological illnesses, and we can continue to explore the efficacy of stem cells for treatments."
After a full year of stem cell injections, no increased serious adverse effects were detected in any patients. Specifically, no ischemia-related neurologic worsening was seen as a result of the intra-carotid infusion of stem cells. The intra-arterial approach for cell delivery is worth pursuing for cell-based stroke therapy in future larger studies.

As Minister of Investment and International Cooperation, with a mandate to drive both domestic and international investment to and between Egypt's international partners to spur economic growth, Dr Sahar Nasr, a former Lead Economist and Manager at the World Bank holds a remarkable résumé. She has played a leading role in setting economic policy reforms in numerous developing and emerging economies and has written over 60 research papers, reports and books on international finance, economic development, private sector and financial reform and women's economic and financial empowerment. When she finally sits down with reGina Jane Jere – Editor of our sister publication the New African Woman for this interview, it is 7.30pm and she has been in back-to-back meetings in her office since 7am. But Dr Sahar Nasr, is still razor-sharp and incisive, recollecting facts figures with a near encyclopedic memory. It is clear why she is one the most influential women in Egypt and Africa at large today. In this wide-ranging interview, she presents a case for investing in Egypt, the upcoming forum Business for Africa, Egypt and the World, dubbed Africa 2017, and why she is a passionate defender of African women's empowerment based on merit and equal opportunities.
Come December, under your Ministry, Africa will again converge for an African Business and investment Forum, dubbed Africa 2017. What message are you putting across this year and what would classify as a success from last year's event?
Building on the success of the Africa 2016 forum, we are delighted to host this year's event. Africa 2016 saw the participation of six heads of state and more than 1,000 delegates from 45 countries. It delivered over 300 business-to- business and business-to-government meetings which led to a number of MOUs across multiple sectors. Africa 2017 is the first Africa-to- Africa investment forum and the aim is to create a unique platform for public-private sector cooperation. We are bringing together African policy makers, financiers, leading industrialists and young entrepreneurs in the promotion of intra-African trade and investment focusing on key strategic sectors.
This year's Forum will focus on "Driving Investment for Inclusive Growth", which means investing in a way that is geared for the long term and to deliver solutions that will cater for the challenges of tomorrow. The key message is that we're open for business, we're forging new partner- ships between the government and the private sector built on mutual trust. We're also acknowledging that there is more to be done to accelerate economic growth in our continent.
And to do this requires collective actions from all African governments and private sector to ensure that prosperity is shared among all Africans.
Africa 2017 will focus on solutions that ensure that prosperity is shared. And this means that the youth, people in rural areas and women all have their share in the African growth story aligned with the SDGs that the political leaders have endorsed.
That means achieving inclusive growth. But what does that mean from a business perspective; what does the African business community need to do differently?
Inclusive growth means that there is no one left behind and that all segments in society reap the benefits of the economic growth. On the economic front it entails a level playing field, equal access to market, equal opportunity and a fair and competitive environment.
Here again, we need to highlight a level playing field for small and micro firms, for rural and urban regions, and large corporates and equal opportunity between women and men in the economic sphere, business environment and labour market. It means youth need to be given an opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process in the economic sphere and in shaping the future of their country. This inclusion will definitely lead to a better Africa.
Inclusive growth also means that the economic reforms are packaged with adequate social safety nets and are built on reducing regional disparities, improving human development, protecting the poor and vulnerable, and providing access to finance for small and micro investors as well as women and youth.
Africans can work closely with international partners to bring best practices, know-how and resources to complement and support their important programmes. And, importantly, businesses need to cooperate.
As you have stated, one of the main premises of Africa 2017 is to strengthen economic and trade ties (through investment) with and within African countries and globally. But critics will always say what holds this back is the lack of infrastructure – including both road and air transportation – in Africa. How will Africa move on from this and when?
Africa has been rising during the past two decades, which was largely due to transformative governance that has witnessed policy reforms in political and socio-economic systems and a broad acceptance of the urgent need for sustainable development.
To sustain such growth we must own and drive the continental agenda and deliver the needed structural reforms through addressing the development finance constraints, including the infrastructure gap. To do that we need to sustain the flow of a significant amount of finance for implementation of programmes at national, regional and continental levels.
According to the World Bank, Africa needs to spend $93bn – 5% of GDP – each year on infrastructure and the African Development Bank (AfDB) notes a $50bn financing gap in achieving this.
To succeed, as Africans we need to tap into our huge domestic resources. Above all, we need to encourage Africans to benefit from such gaps and invest heavily in infrastructure through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), which I believe African governments should develop because PPP schemes are lucrative and can encourage both African and international investors.
I can give an example of our own achievements in this area here in Egypt: in 2016, we raised over $15bn for infrastructure projects, increased our energy supply by 45%, built over 6,000 kilometres of new roads, started a project that links Egypt to the rest of the North African countries by road and invested in new and existing airports.
So, yes it can be done. Egypt managed in one year to jump from 96 to 71 in the 2017 competitiveness report. We are proud!
If I may move to the issue of business, finance and investment, you are leading a Ministry mandated with driving this task. How do you make the case for "Invest in Egypt"?
Egypt is open for business. A key pillar for the economic reform is improving the business environment and promoting more private sector participation. We are moving forward with major reforms to achieve a conducive investment climate able to attract investments in all sectors: energy, agriculture, industry, tourism, education and healthcare. We are working on different fronts: legislative reforms changing the legal and regulatory framework so that it is more friendly and conducive to investors; secondly, institutional reforms because the law alone is not sufficient. More important is the operationalisation and implementation of the law on the ground through capacity building, automation and advanced technology. Cut red tape, streamline procedures and remove bureaucracy, because at the end of the day, we are operating in a very competitive environment and therefore we have to ask how can we ensure a comparative advantage.
Egypt has launched a great and comprehensive governance and anti- corruption strategy, which offers better quality services by the government, to hold government institutions more accountable, raise citizen satisfaction, and strongly contribute to the achievement of Egypt's development goals.
We have a clear vision, and we are keen on enhancing private sector development and are committed to enhancing the investment environment as part of its broader macroeconomic strategy.
And how are investors reacting to these reforms?
Investments in various fields are growing as a reaction. Numbers are an excellent proof of this. In Egypt, economic growth exceeded expectations to record 4.2% in Financial Year 2017, (FY17) marking an outstanding performance given the several shocks to the economy. As a result unemployment is inched down to below 12% in the second quarter of 2017, the lowest rate since 2011.
Although inflation has been a challenge, there has been some easing – recent figures show a declining trend. Monthly inflation in August 2017 was down to 1.1% compared to 3.2% the previous month. Also, annual inflation is decreasing rapidly, and it is expected to sub- side more in the coming months. So overall macroeconomic indicators are positive, and this has been reflected and translated into Egypt's ranking in several recent international reports and ratings.
Recent trends for investment in Egypt showed an outstanding improvement. Private investment is expected to grow by 18% in FY17 to reach LE267bn [$15.1bn] continuing the uptrend since the 2014 Financial Year. FDI grew significantly in 4th quarter of FY17 by 29% compared to the same quarter the previous year, making total net Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) for FY17 grow by 14% to reach $7.9bn. Egypt was actually ranked the top African country attracting FDI in 2014 and one of top five countries globally attracting FDI in 2016.
The improvement in the business climate is also reflected in large improvement in the business entry rate due to the rigorous reforms for the investment and business climate.
Empowering women is an issue you often talk about and advocate for. Is this feasible in Egypt? And what is your overall take on women's empowerment in this country?
Women's empowerment is smart economics. We can only achieve sustainable and inclusive growth through giving women an equal opportunity to play an active role in the economic, social and political sphere. Egypt fully endorses gender empowerment and the President, Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, has endorsed the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), of which gender mainstreaming is key. And I believe that in order to achieve the goals, gender mainstreaming is a crosscutting issue. Women and girls must have equal access to education, skills development, the labour force, political participation and all social services if we really want to be inclusive.
How is the Egyptian government achieving such a crucial element and how well is it doing in that scope?
Women in Egypt have an important role in boosting economic growth. However only a third of jobs in Egypt are occupied by women. We believe the female employment rate should rise. Participation by women in the economic and political fronts has al- ready started to increase. Currently, there are 89 women in parliament, almost 15% of the seats, which is the highest it has ever reached, jumping from less than 2% in 2012, so we are on the right track.
2017 was declared "Year of the Egyptian Woman". This year is now coming towards its end. Since this declaration, what has changed for women in your view?
That is a very important question. But declaring 2017 as "Year of the Egyptian Woman" was just a stimulus, a great kick-off led by the President. And the fact that he announced this himself, gives a great signal to everyone – political parties, government officials, the private sector and civil society. The responsibility lies upon all of us. This is not only a great initiative. I consider it a starting point based on which we need to work and put all the effort to achieve what all Egyptian women deserve, and support all women to achieve their aspirations, and fulfil their dreams. The year 2017 helped us do major legislative and institutional reforms that specifically would empower women, and that is sustainability in itself.
Such as, if you can be more specific?
Yes of course. For example, any funding or lines of credits that we provide for small and medium or micro enter- prises, we make sure that a minimum of 50% are allocated to women and young entrepreneurs. The Ministry of Investment and International Co- operation has also secured funding for small and micro projects that support female breadwinners in various villages and governorates that are most lagging behind.
And for the first time in our history, we are also working on an investment law that includes an article that specifically states equal opportunities for men and women with no discrimination. It gives all people equal opportunities to start and develop their own businesses, to expand and become active entrepreneurs. We have also established a dedicated fund for the economic empowerment of women in collaboration with the World Bank and the New Partner- ship for Africa's Development (NE- PAD) and a special window for women at the Investors Services Centre.
But how does such a law translate at grassroots level, which is often where discrimination emanates from? And bearing in mind too that in Africa empowering women is normally reduced to a micro level of entrepreneurialism.
Women have the right to play an active role in the labour market; we have to give women an equal opportunity to get the education, skills and the knowledge that will help them fully participate in the economic sphere.
We also need to acknowledge that women often need to balance between their work and family duties, and hence the provision of supportive services is essential. The labour law in Egypt stipulates that enterprise should provide childcare services, for example. Taking care of the family applies to men too, but women are considered and are expected to be more responsible for children and taking care of the elderly members of the family – a responsibility that they are proud to carry. After all it's also contributing to economic prosperity through investing in and bringing up future generations.
And despite the fact that husbands and other members of the family such as brothers and fathers also carry part of the responsibilities, we cannot neglect the fact that there are also some social and cultural dynamics in Africa where this leans more on women.
This is why here in Egypt, including at this Ministry of Investment and International Corporation, we are allocating funding to these complimentary services to allow women to thrive. So we are providing an enabling environment on both a legal and regulatory front in terms of the investment law and companies law, but also by providing the infrastructures and services that enable women to balance their duties.
But do opportunities actually exist to have more women rise to positions of influence and power?
Yes, opportunities exist and there are numerous examples of Egyptian role models. Also, in 2015, Forbes Middle East named the Most Powerful Arab Women, and the list was dominated by Egyptian women, and Egypt took almost a fifth of entries overall. Egypt is also the first country to launch its 2030 National Woman's Strategy towards the UN's SDGs and it's serving as the national document to guide the country in its women's empowerment efforts.
As the IMF stated in 2015, if women had the same equal opportunities in the work force as men do, the Egyptian GDP would experience a 34% increase.
May I also highlight something that we often neglect? As an economist I also look at women's contributions at the household level as a critical element that should not be ignored.
For example, if a mother is mentoring and taking care of her son or daughter, and helping them do their studies, that is also productivity – it's work. If a woman is taking care of an elderly parent, this is a major contribution to society and the economy – this is being productive. GDP therefore needs to take such activities into account because there is an opportunity cost here. She could have allocated that time to her job or anything else that is income-earning. And this is one element that we need to reflect on when we are calculating and doing our numbers about women's contribution in the GDP and overall economic growth.
But empowerment should also come with capacity building, resource allocation and much more, don't you agree?
Totally. And by the way, when it comes to the labour market and labour force, the government is kinder to women than the private sector is. For example, the private sector tends to shy away from covering women workers insurance, as they sometimes go on maternity leave. Hence sometimes temporarily affirmative action needs to be taken.
I would also like to highlight that I am very proud that almost 15% of Egypt's parliamentarians are women. And they are not just women but women of quality who are participating in setting the country's regulations and laws at a very critical juncture in Egypt's history after two revolutions, and a time that country is going through major and bold economic reforms.
There is this myth that women parliamentarians would limit their contribution to women and family issues. Totally not true. It is very interesting to watch how women have fought for the Investment Law and better access to utilities and services in lagging regions, such as clean water, sanitation to gas connections.
It therefore appears that Egypt is in line with the UN's 50-50 gender equality call to action. But do you personally believe in positive discrimination or that women should be in positions of power and thrive on their own merit?
I honestly always use the sentence that I love most and believe in, which is "Providing equal opportunities, not equality" because that way, everything is based on merit and performance. Affirmative actions, which you are calling positive discrimination, can be a temporarily measure that you can use as a kick-off just like we have done here in Egypt with the 2017 Year of the Egyptian Woman. What we are calling for as Egyptian women is that all we need is equal opportunities and we do not want to be discriminated against just because we are women.
That said, you have a strong background and CV, which can inspire many young African women of the future. Do you have to work extra harder because you are a woman? What drives you?
Thank you, I am honoured by that compliment. I honestly believe that when you are working hard, you are committed to what you do, and you set yourself targets of what you want to achieve, you will always deliver and succeed. And I never allow anyone to make me think otherwise. I believe selections, appointments and promotions should be on merit, delivery, achievements, performance and results on the ground. It's your own merit and your hard work that you should be judged and assessed on. Nothing else.
Coming back to the question, I honestly don't think I need to work extra harder because I am a woman. I believe I need to work extra hard because our African continent, including our country, Egypt, is facing challenges and undertaking bold and ambitious, economic, social and political reforms – times of transition, where we all need to join forces for a better Egypt and a better Africa. And this is the time all of us need to work harder in order to fulfil the aspirations of our people and meet the potential of our nations.
But I don't think I need to walk an extra mile because I am a woman. What I need is to work in an environment that does not marginalise me just because I am a woman.
We need to fight for our rights to participate fully in our countries' efforts in achieving inclusive and sustainable growth. We need to refute wrong perceptions; we must use facts and numbers. I don't look at this issue as a women's or a feminist issue. As I said, this is smart economics. Women account for around 50% of the population and the government has invested in their education and healthcare, hence they are productive human capital and we must tap in to their potentials.
For example, when I am talking to the financial institutions, and they say women are more risky to lend to, I tell them that is very strange because the non-performing loans rate is much lower among women. When they talk about credentials, and the glass ceiling women face in high-level positions, I tell them it's strange because the top performers in universities and schools are women, so there must be something there. Too many myths that we have to refute.
The issue is achieving not because you are a woman, but because you are working hard. I would hate to see it like I am in this position because of gender mainstreaming or because we need to have a certain percentage of women Ministers. I believe I am here because I am very passionate about my job and I am very committed, I work hard to achieve results and I work in a conducive and enabling environment that does not discriminate around gender.
Africa indeed has phenomenal women in all spheres. Who are your role models and what have learned from them that you can pass on to the next generation.
I look up to a lot of women and I learn from them every day. I teach Economics at the American University in Cairo, so I learn from my students too. I learn from their questions, their concerns and from their dreams. I learn from my colleagues at the Ministry and their enthusiasm to deliver and serve people. It is also important that you believe and trust in the abilities of your colleagues and that through teamwork and bonding together we achieve more.
When I worked at the World Bank, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (the former Nigerian Minister of Finance) was my boss, and through her charismatic leadership and inclusion in any process, I learned a lot from her. She would always include young people in any development operations. I believe this important.
But I also have male role models for example, President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, for his commitment and dedication to the Egyptian people and non-stop work and efforts for a better and more prosperous Egypt.
It's great that you mentioned youth. 2017 was billed the year of harnessing this demographic dividend by the African Union. How is Egypt dealing with the issue of youth? In the same vein, as we now live in a technology and innovation-driven age, how much investment and deliberate will goes into encouraging youth and more young women to enter scientific fields?
Egypt's core asset and main engine of growth is its youth and we have a historical reputation as a regional net exporter of educated and skilled labour. And our young and talented workforce is a dynamic force for innovation entrepreneurship and hence we are in a position to provide investors with ac- cess to talented young labour and entrepreneurs.
46.8 in Germany. We are also providing a lot of incentives for entrepreneur start-ups through innovative financial products such as venture capital, crowd funding equity financing overall.
Youth in general are not very inclined to be in debt and to take up loans, and as such, we have established an Investment Fund here at the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation, that offers equity financing to young entrepreneurs, both girls and boys, and it is complimented by advisory and technical services which assist them on how to conduct their feasibility studies and allows for training arrangements.
We are also establishing incubators in different governorates to train young people and help build capacity. And I believe that if you build the capacity of the youth, and you give them the knowledge and the skills they need, they are an asset and a much-needed human capital.
Youth are not a burden, they only become so if you don't give them support and they become detached from the economic sphere and unfortunately sometimes get attracted to destructive behaviours such as terrorism, or even go into illegal immigration to other countries.
Our youth need to be given hope and opportunities to play a positive and active role in the overall development of their countries.

Q: Include views in a Rails plugin I'm building a Rails plugin that currently provides controllers and models to an app. However I get a missing template error when it comes to views. I have the following:
%w{ models controllers views }.each do |dir|
  path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'app', dir)
  $LOAD_PATH << path
  ActiveSupport::Dependencies.autoload_paths << path
  ActiveSupport::Dependencies.autoload_once_paths.delete(path)
end

The controllers and models are loaded but not views. The Rails guide says it can be done but doesn't have an example. Is there a way to include them (or a similar alternative)?

A: You didn't include the version you're working with ... reason that's important is after rails 4 came out - you're not supposed to be doing plugins anymore ... Gem Vs Plugin Vs Engine in Ruby on Rails.
If you're not supporting a legacy app, would highly recommend going with a 'rails engine', the Devise Gem is one great example...it's a self-encapsulated app, with it's own view files & sounds exactly like what you're trying to do.  Additionally, it shows you can even use generators to move your default views/controllers out of the engine & change the basic routing if someone needs to customize your work further.

Burden of fungal infection in Argentina,Australia, Belgium, Mexico, Saudi Arabia & Tanzania at ICAAC
At the ICAAC 2014 conference being held in Washington DC, data for a further 6 country "burdens of serious fungal disease" has been estimated, for 260 million people. The rate of candidaemia in Saudi Arabia is amongst the highest in the world at 10/100,000 which contrasts with low rates in Argentina (1.1/100,000) and Australia (1.87/100,000). Large numbers of cases of cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis in AIDS are seen in Mexico (4,906-35,049 and 6,484-22,256 respectively). The estimate for Tanzania which has an estimated 1.5 million HIV infected people and 90,057 with CD4 counts under 200, is estimated to have only 2,672 cases of cryptococcal meningitis based on cryptococcal antigen screening survey. This may be an underestimate as there are 80,000 AIDS deaths a year in Tanzania. In contrast there were 10 cases in Belgium and 101 in Australia, 10% C. gattii infections.
Tinea capitis could be estimated in Tanzania (420,000 school age children). All infectious keratitis and fungal keratitis cases in Mexico were 166,258 and 11,638 respectively, leaving about 7,000 patients blind in one eye.
Coccidioidomycosis cases were estimated to be 8,552 in Mexico, based on US endemic area rates and 856 in Argentina.
Rates of ABPA were calculated at 2.5% of the adult clinical asthma rate in that country or a neighbouring country (To et al, 2012). The variation is nearly 10-fold, and the very high rates in Australia and Belgium are remarkable. The only study of ABPA to be conducted in Africa was in South Africa (2.5% rate), and none have been conducted in central or South America.

Should you ever discipline another person's child?
Published February 5, 2015 Updated May 12, 2018
Last week a friend of mine faced a parenting dilemma at the playground. A child (not hers) was whipping snow at other youngsters. This wasn't a fun snow fight between friends – more like a mini abominable snow monster in enemy attack mode. As an adult on the scene, she wondered how to respond: stay put or step in? As she contemplated, the little hell-raiser got bored and moved on, but even though the threat was neutralized, my friend wondered whether it was right to stay on the sidelines.
That same question is raised in a new NBC miniseries called The Slap, premiering next week, about the controversy that erupts after a man smacks someone else's son across the face at a barbecue. (A little context: the boy was swinging a baseball bat around, he ignored scoldings and the man who hit him feared that his own kid was about to get hurt). The rest of the series is about the fallout from this single incident – suffice it to say that the slapped boy's parents don't agree with the way their son was disciplined, which is not surprising given the violent nature of the titular act.
But what if the protective father had simply yelled at the other kid, given him a time-out or confiscated the baseball bat? On the matter of corporal punishment, most of us align in the anti camp. But when it comes to the broader dos and don'ts of disciplining other people's children, the rules are a lot less clear.
According to an inconclusive Google search, the expression "It takes a village to raise a child" is either an African or a Native American proverb – either way it speaks (first literally and later figuratively) to the "we're-all-on-the-same-team-here" attitude that underscored child rearing for most of human history.
More recent anecdotal evidence (my own childhood) suggests that even just 20 years ago, every adult was a potential enforcer should circumstances demand it. I can recall being reamed out by relatives, neighbours, teachers, even a best friend's significantly older sister. Mom and Dad were the primary disciplinarians, but pinch hitters were in high supply. This was bad news for me, but gave my parents, and most other parents, a support system and a sense of community. There was a collective understanding that reprimands should be measured and reasonable, which wasn't too hard to arrive at since most adults tended to agree on the nature of crime and punishment.
Today, a shared societal notion of good and bad behaviour has gone the way of the BPA-laden bath toy – one parent's "adorable" is another's "obnoxious" (never mind what does and does not qualify as "dangerous"). This discord has caused parents to double down on their own decisions rather than lean on each other. The whole village philosophy kind of falls apart when all the villagers want to tell each other where to stick it.
In his book Paranoid Parenting, sociologist Frank Furedi discusses the "erosion of adult authority." Parents have become so obsessed with teaching their kids about "stranger danger" and all of the ways adults can hurt them that they fail to teach them that grownups are in charge.
"It used to be of course your mother would want me to correct your bad manners. Now maybe not," says Ceri Marsh, a Toronto mother of two and editor of the Sweet Potato Chronicles food and parenting blog. Marsh recently confronted a kid who had taken her daughter's lunch money. Later on, that kid's mother told Marsh to speak to her (and not her child) in the future. "She wasn't even defending the behaviour – she just didn't want me speaking with her kid," says Marsh.
Canadian parenting expert Beverley Cathcart-Ross says this fear-based need for singular authority can get in the way of healthy development. "It's so vital that children understand that not every situation and environment is going to be like home," she says. "Most kids can absolutely understand the idea of 'my house, my rules.'"
It's the parents, in many cases, who need help letting go. The key is learning how to separate different from dangerous, and recognizing that a casual tut-tut on the playground isn't a personal attack, even if it feels like it. "As a parent you have to have a thick skin," says Cathcart-Ross, adding that the pursuit of perfect parenthood has created a situation that is perfectly ridiculous. "We are fools not to enjoy and take advantage of the village around us. If it's not a matter of life and death, don't sweat it."
The bystander effect: Trying to turn witnesses into white knights
What parents can do if their child is bullied – or being a bully
Ready, get set, time out! But follow with positive reinforcement
Have Your Say: How do we (or should we) discipline other people's children?

The cost of refractive surgery procedure is the result of the combination of a technical package, which covers various costs for the centre, and the surgeon's fees.
Lasers and high-tech examination and diagnosis equipment are very expensive. The permanent and necessary maintenance and upgrades that guarantee accuracy, reliability and safety are also particularly expensive.
Patients may pay for the procedure in four installments without any additional fee.
Health insurance companies often cover some of the costs of the surgery. On the day of your consultation visit, we will give you a quote for these purposes.


the "IBM Quantum Experience," was opened up to researchers, scientists, and the public.
IBM Quantum Computer is running on extremely cold environment, very near absolute 0 K and it has total of (only) 5 Qubits accessible via cloud, used mostly for scientific research.
Quantum physics is well established science (while complex and mind-bending) but technology is using it for computing is still in early stages. "Cloud" is a very useful for providing access to such complex tools. Google also has a quantum computer for its internal usage.
"Whereas common digital computing requires that the data be encoded into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1), quantum computation is analog and uses quantum bits, which can be in an infinite number of superpositions of states.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

Description
I want to pass POST variable to the same page and load it using AJAX. However, I failed to do so. I can't pass the "var" to $_POST['var'] using POST method. Hence I can't display the following:
    echo $result.' is successfully passed to the same page using Ajax Post. :)';
What have I done wrong?
Reference
I was actually trying to tackle this problem:
Calculate Google distance of Input address and all the address from MySQL Server using jQuery ajax.get
Now I simplify my problem but still it doesn't work. Please help :(

A: If you post it to the same page the server creates a new process to handle the request.  The reason you are not seeing any output is because the server is seeing a post to a file, spinning up an instance and executing the php script but that is different from your php thread.  Change your script to this to see your success text.


Like many small business owners these days, Joseph Lopez has to look hard to find qualified employees. But Mr. Lopez, president of the New Era Builders Inc. construction firm in Cleveland, said the task has become somewhat easier since he began tapping a growing -- though little-noticed -- part of the Northeast Ohio work force: employees for whom English is their second language. New Era, which employs between 15 and 45 workers based on the season and activity in the construction sector, in the past four years has hired about 20 workers whose first language is Spanish, Mr. Lopez said. The company has worked with the Hispanic Business Association and the Spanish-American Committee -- both of which have programs to prepare Spanish-speaking people to enter the English-speaking work force -- to locate promising employees. 'Through the association, I met a lot of people who were looking for work, or knew somebody who was looking for work,' Mr. Lopez said. 'That sort of networking proves really valuable. One of the very special things about the Spanish-speaking workers is that when you need a crew for a job that is coming up, they always know people -- their buddy, their cousin -- who can help you.' Judy Opalach, president of Cleveland-based Skill Builders Inc., a language and job training firm that conducts English as a Second Language programs for local companies, said it requires a 'full commitment' from companies if they intend to take advantage of skills offered by workers just learning to speak English. For instance, she said supervisors should perform task analyses so they can better conceptualize skills required to complete specific jobs. Once this is done, English terms for all the tasks can be incorporated into language classes, Ms. Opalach said. Ernesto Poza, a professor in the practice of family business management at Case Western Reserve Uni- versity's Weatherhead School of Management, said efforts to employ non-English sp- eaking workers are much more via ble if buttressed by support groups and language training organizations. Without such support, the efforts often fail due to a lack of communication between workers and employers, Mr. Poza said. Mr. Lopez suggests that when supervising employees who are working on their English skills, managers should make extra efforts to demonstrate by example how tasks should be done. That strategy proves particularly effective in the construction business, where instructions can be communicated non-verbally, Mr. Lopez said. Where possible, he also advises using bilingual employees as translators and assigning them to work with people who are working on their English skills. Entrepreneurs who are augmenting their work force by recruiting non-English speaking workers are looking at demographic trends, said Jeff Stewart, coordinator of Escuela Popular, a school in Tremont that teaches Spanish and English skills and offers basic job training. 'There were already 60,000 Hispanics in Cuyahoga County in 1990, and this figure should double by 2020,' Mr. Stewart said. 'That means there are a lot of people who could become valued employees. Efforts that could turn this potential into a reality (include) offering people the job training they need and helping them become bilingual. That is the sort of thing we try to do at the school, and it attracts as many as 150 students a quarter.' Like Escuela Popular, the Spanish-American Committee in Cleveland regularly matches graduates of its job-readiness classes with local businesses, said Walter Tucker, the committee's acting coordinator of employment educational services. Mr. Tucker said about 75% of the 325 graduates per year have been placed in jobs since the program began in 1995. While the non-English speaking employees hired by New Era Builders have been of Hispanic descent, many other Northeast Ohio firms now are recruiting among the community of people who speak Eastern European languages. There's a growing population of such workers, said Irene Maro cco, director of refugee resettlement at Jewish Family Services in Cleveland Heights. For instance, she said about 5,800 people have arrived in Cleveland from the former Soviet Union since 1989. Ms. Marocco said the firms where the Russian emigres were hired have benefited from their skills and strong work ethic. However, the companies also have had to be understanding of cultural differences that could arise. 'Particularly for the older Russians, it can be somewhat challenging to adapt to American ways of doing business because they are accustomed to formalities and more rigidity than we have here,' Ms. Marocco said. 'For example, if a phone rings at another person's desk, they probably won't answer it, because they is simply not the way things were done in Russia. There was not that kind of flexibility.' However, Dan Green, vice president of marketing at Soft Lite Windows LLC, a Bedford-based window manufacturer, said such cultural differences have not prevented any of the four Russians he has hired from becoming valued employees.
