The trouble is not to model how Ebola might spread, but the 'political' reaction in an area with so many armed rebel groups. The situation is too complex for me to make a meaningful guess, but this in itself indicates a bleaker outlook.
Given the location of the outbreak it could spread to other countries, and due to mobility (of health workers) one or two cased may occur in another WHO Health region, but these would be easier to contain so I don't think it likely to become a pandemic.
BTW. My crystal ball does not work well. Given the past record of the Congo handling Ebola, at first I thought this outbreak would be brought quick under control. But I will make a guess anyway for a regional scale outbreak.

CDC director warns that Congo's Ebola outbreak may not be containable
By Lena H. Sun
November 5 at 5:46 PM
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield said Monday that the Ebola outbreak in conflict-ridden Congo has become so serious that international public health experts need to consider the possibility that it cannot be brought under control and instead will become entrenched.
If that happened, it would be the first time since the deadly viral disease was first identified in 1976 that an Ebola outbreak led to the persistent presence of the disease. In all previous outbreaks, most of which took place in remote areas, the disease was contained before it spread widely. The current outbreak is entering its fourth month, with nearly 300 cases, including 186 deaths.
If Ebola becomes endemic in substantial areas of North Kivu province, in northeastern Congo, "this will mean that we've lost the ability to trace contacts, stop transmission chains and contain the outbreak," said Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, which hosted the briefing on Capitol Hill that featured the Ebola discussion with Redfield.
In that scenario, there would be a sustained and unpredictable spread of the deadly virus, with major implications for travel and trade, he said, noting that there are 6 million people in North Kivu. By comparison, the entire population of Liberia, one of the hardest-hit countries during the West Africa Ebola epidemic of 2014-2016, is about 4.8 million.
The outbreak is taking place in a part of Congo that is an active war zone. Dozens of armed militias operate in the area, attacking government outposts and civilians, complicating the work of Ebola response teams and putting their security at risk. Violence has escalated in recent weeks, severely hampering the response. The daily rate of new Ebola cases more than doubled in early October. In addition, there is community resistance and deep mistrust of the government.
Some sick people have refused to go to treatment centers, health-care workers are still being infected, and some people are dying of Ebola or spreading the virus to new areas. An estimated 60 to 80 percent of new confirmed cases have no known epidemiological link to prior cases, making it very difficult for responders to track cases and stop transmission. In late August, the United States withdrew some of the CDC's most seasoned Ebola experts who had been stationed in Beni, the province's urban epicenter, because of security risks.
"I do think this is one of the challenges we'll have to see, whether we're able to contain, control and end the current outbreak with the current security situation, or do we move into the idea that this becomes more of an endemic Ebola outbreak in this region, which we've never really confronted," Redfield said.
If that happens, health-care responders may need to consider vaccinating broader populations instead of the current strategy of vaccinating those who have been in contact with infected people.
When contact tracing begins to fall apart, "then you are entering another phase and losing the hope that you can arrest the outbreak through standard interventions," J. Stephen Morrison, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in an interview. In a new report, Morrison wrote that there is an urgent need for "high-level political attention focused on generating an updated game plan" to improve security, train and deploy community health workers, and win community trust.
"This is going to be a complicated and deeply problematic situation and we need to prepare ourselves for dealing with this long term," Morrison said.
Redfield, officials from the World Health Organization and other experts say one of the biggest worries is the spread within Congo to places like Butembo, a major trading port and urban area, where the risk of widespread transmission escalates dramatically.
In mid-October, the World Health Organization said that it was "deeply concerned" by the outbreak but that the situation did not yet warrant being declared a global emergency. The U.N. health agency called for response activities to be "intensified." The WHO's director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and a top U.N. official for peacekeeping operations, are in Congo this week to take stock of the response.

DJ-Maybe I was to optimistic with 10.000-100.000 cases. This outbreak is very hard to control. The population in the area in East-Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda is concentrated.
A "perfect storm" could cause further spread of diseases and conflicts with a collapse of society in central Africa.
Under-reporting and missing many cases that may already be burried could put the more correct number of cases nov-9 close to 500 (?).
When you look at history of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death in Europe you may expect "Ebola-refugees" and depopulation of large area's.

I see someone voted the worst case scenario-+1.000.000 cases...
https://www.msf.org/ebola-patient-care-increases-amid-growing-tensions-north-kivu-drc
Is this scenario possible ? I can think of several scenario's
-spread by aidworkers, "crisis-hopping" care givers moving from one region to the other, transporting the ebola-virus to places like Somalia, Yemen, Bangla Desh. There are an increasing number of "good feeding grounds" for the Ebola-virus. The incubation period can be 2 to 21 days, if the virus could show up later the virus could start spreading later. https://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/faq-ebola/en/
-climate change related, flooding bringing dead ebola-victums into the Nile riversystem, transporting ebola via (drinking) water to (South)Sudan and Egypt.
-refugees as way of transport. People trying to escape the war but also famine, economic collapse in the region can spread the virus.
-terrorism related, terrorists using ebola victums as a bio-weapon.
-medical overstretch-to put it simply the problem getting to big for the people available to handle it.
-spread by other species. When birds would start spreading the virus (maybe via infected fleas or so) it may be very hard to control. (So far spread via other mammals has been seen-it is very unlikely ebola can spread via fleas, birds, mosquitos https://www.combatbugs.com/en/home/pest-identification/bug-files/is-ebola-spread-by-bugs.html
Just like climate change health issues should be an international top-priority and is not. The international community is not doing enough to get the situation under control. So in my opinion ebola is winning-humanity is losing.

Ebola: 993 cases confirmed, 621 dead in DRC – WHO
Saturday, March 23, 2019 11:24 pm
Ebola in DRC
As the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) approaches 1 000 cases amid increased violence, WHO reaffirmed its commitment both to ending the outbreak and working with the government and communities to build resilient health systems.
Since the outbreak was declared in August 2018 there have been 993 confirmed and probable cases and 621 deaths in North Kivu and Ituri provinces.
"We use words like 'cases' and 'containment' to be scientific, but behind every number is a person, a family and a community that is suffering," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.
"This outbreak has gone on far too long. We owe it to the people of North Kivu to work with them in solidarity not only to end this outbreak as soon as possible, but to build the health systems that address the many other health threats they face on a daily basis."
More than 96 000 people have been vaccinated against Ebola in DRC, along with health workers in Uganda and South Sudan. As of 21 March, 38 of 130 affected health areas have active transmission. More than 44 million border screenings have helped to slow the spread of Ebola in this highly mobile population. No cases have spread beyond North Kivu and Ituri provinces, and no cases have crossed international borders.
However, the risk of national and regional spread remains very high, especially when episodes of violence and instability impact the response.
"As we mourn the lives lost, we must also recognize that thousands of people have been protected from this terrifying disease," said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa. "We are working in exceptionally challenging circumstances, but thanks to support from donors and the efforts of the Ministry of Health, WHO and partners, we have saved thousands of lives."
WHO has more than 700 people in DRC and is working hard with partners to listen to the affected communities and address their concerns and give them greater ownership of the response, particularly in the current outbreak hotspots of Katwa and Butembo.
"The communities affected by this outbreak are already traumatized by conflict," said Dr Tedros. "Their fear of violence is now compounded by fear of Ebola. Community engagement takes time. There are no quick fixes. But we are learning and adapting to the evolving context every day."
Despite the challenges, most communities accept response interventions. More than 90% of those eligible for vaccination accept it and agree to post-vaccination follow-up visits. Independent analysis of vaccination data indicate that the vaccine is protecting at least 95% of those who receive it in a timely manner. More than 80% of people also accept safe and dignified burials, a key to preventing onward transmission.
"Despite the increased frequency of attacks by armed groups, WHO will stay the course and will work with communities to end this outbreak together with the Ministry of Health and partners," said Dr Tedros. "We need redoubled support from the international community, and a commitment to push together to bring this outbreak to an end."
For the next 6 months, the combined financial need for all response partners is at least $148 million. As of 19 March, $US 74 million had been received.
"We count on donors to help close the funding gap so we can end this outbreak as soon as possible," said Dr Tedros. "We will still be in DRC long after this outbreak has finished, working with the government and communities on the road to universal health coverage. We are committed to improving the health of the people of DRC now and in years to come."

DRC's Ebola outbreak reaches 1,000 confirmed cases
24 March 2019 – Goma, DR Congo. The deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, declared on 1 August 2018, has reached 1,000 cases. This is the second worst outbreak of Ebola in recorded history, after the 2014 outbreak in West Africa, which killed 11,000 people.
"Sadly, DR Congo's Ebola outbreak, which started in Nord Kivu and has spread to Ituri Province, has marked 1,000 confirmed cases, making it the most disastrous Ebola outbreak in the country's history," says Thomas Simon, Country Director at Medair, an international NGO that has worked in DR Congo for 22 years. "If transmission of the disease does not end soon, it could spark the collapse of an already very fragile health system."
Despite seven months of actively responding, and ongoing vaccination, the efforts of the Ministry of Health, NGOs, and health partners alike are being hampered by violence, mass displacement due to conflicts, community misinformation, and fear. "The virus, which is transmitted through bodily fluids once a person starts to have symptoms, is often mistaken for malaria or cholera because of similar symptoms, causing people not to worry until it is often too late," says Thomas. "Also, many people believe that if they are taken to an Ebola Centre they will never come out. The fact is that the centres are the only available source of help and possible healing from the disease and the survival rate of people being admitted is higher than the West Africa Ebola outbreak. We have new medications, which can help to treat the disease, but the patients need to come in early and start the treatment," he adds.
Everyone who comes into contact with a person infected with the virus must be monitored in case they develop symptoms; on average, this represents 100 people. By doing Ebola prevention work alongside community leaders and engagement teams, Medair is ensuring that a dialogue is established and that the messages regarding screening, vaccination, and proper handwashing are clear and culturally accepted.
Butembo and Katwa health zones, in Nord Kivu Province, are now the primary areas of concern. Medair is responding to the outbreak in multiple affected areas, including with a transit centre in Oicha, where humanitarian access remains a challenge. "Our teams are working tirelessly to help put an end to the spread of Ebola. Among our activities, we are equipping health facilities and communities with proper water and sanitation structures and training in hygiene practices, essential steps in making sure Ebola does not spread," reports James Ray, Medair's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Advisor.

The latest resilience news from around the world
Current Ebola outbreak in DRC now the second largest global outbreak on record
Published: Monday, 25 March 2019 09:01
As of March 24, 2019, public health officials have documented that the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has surpassed 1,000 cases; the current total number of confirmed and probable cases is 1009, including 625 deaths and 318 survivors. The outbreak is the largest in DRC's history and the second largest outbreak recorded of Ebola ever (after the 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa).
"This is a disappointing milestone. This remains a highly complex Ebola outbreak with active Ebola transmission in 21 health zones," said US CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D.
The outbreak in DRC is occurring in a region where there is armed conflict, outbreaks of violence, and other problems that complicate public health response activities and increase the risk of disease spread.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that the risk of national and regional spread remains very high.

I see that 7 out of the eleven responses to the poll were too optimistic.
I can't remember if I was one of those. My post talks of 'regional' so I could have voted either for the second or the third option. Having armed groups disrupting containment efforts is making it hard to predict what will happen, as the previous experience of quick control in the Congo is not a good model for the current outbreak.

THE WHO SAYS: "NOT A GLOBAL EMERGENCY - YET."
Ebola outbreak 'not global emergency yet'
By James Gallagher Health and science correspondent, BBC News
The World Health Organization says the spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not yet a global health emergency.
The Ebola outbreak is the second biggest in history - infecting 1,206 people and killing 764. It shows no sign of being contained soon.
Efforts by healthcare workers have been hampered by conflict and rebel attacks.
And experts have warned it will be "very difficult to bring it under control".
But Prof Robert Steffen, chairman of the WHO's emergency committee on Ebola, said declaring an emergency would not change anything on the ground.
He said: "It does not mean we can lean back and relax.
"Funds are now needed to avoid a public health emergency of international concern."
The World Health Organization said it had received only half the money it needed to tackle the disease.
The outbreak started in August 2018 and is still contained within two provinces in DRC - North Kivu and Ituri.
However, the WHO has warned a "rising number of security incidents" has been making it hard to monitor the spread of the virus, vaccinate people and contact anyone who has been in contact with an Ebola patient.
Cases have been increasing in recent weeks and the WHO says the risk of the virus spreading to neighbouring countries is "very high".
It says the risk of the virus spreading globally is low.
Ebola is a virus that initially causes sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain and a sore throat.
It progresses to vomiting, diarrhoea and both internal and external bleeding.
People are infected when they have direct contact through broken skin, or the mouth and nose, with the blood, vomit, faeces or bodily fluids of someone with Ebola.
Patients tend to die from dehydration and multiple organ failure.
Most Ebola outbreaks are over quickly and affect small numbers of people.
Only once before has there been an outbreak that was still expanding - and with such a high number of cases - more than eight months after it began.
That was the epidemic in West Africa between 2013 and 2016 which killed 11,310 people.
Dr Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome charity, said: "The teams in DRC need all our support and resources, including finance, healthcare workers, enhanced security and infrastructure, as well as more international political support.
"This epidemic is at a very dangerous phase in an incredibly difficult environment, and we urgently need the response to evolve to help stop Ebola spreading and save lives."
Unlike the West Africa outbreak, a vaccine has been available which is being used to protect people at risk - including doctors and people who come into contact with an Ebola patient.
However, there have still been 85 cases and 30 deaths among healthcare workers, which further reduces the ability to deal with the outbreak.
There is also a trial of experimental drugs taking place in Ebola centres in the country.
A "public health emergency of international concern" was declared for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the Zika virus outbreak in 2016.
Dr Rebecca Katz, the director of the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University, said the decision not to declare an emergency was disappointing.
She said: "This is a deeply concerning event, due to the pathogen itself, the total number of cases, the increase in cases just this week, and the difficulty of co-ordinating the response due to conflict - that needs to receive the appropriate level of attention."

Yes, Edwin, I was one of the optimists. I thought the ring-vaccination strategy would work. It did for smallpox.
The scepticism of the locals and the fact that the outbreak is in a war zone seem to have overridden the advantages.
Things seem to be getting progressively worse, albeit slowly, neither sorted-out nor exploding across the region, just a steady creep of horror.
I don't think it will go global (except possibly 1 or 2 cases like the last outbreak) but that is a possibility and I am watching very closely.

Allthough I am not on top of this subject I can see the reasons for being disapointed in not declaring the Congo-ebola outbreak as an international health risk ( or "public health emergency of international concern").
The main problem is lack of money. But behind that there is a total lack of political will, knowledge and care by those who can make a difference.
Both the "west" and Russia, China, Arab states do not seem to care about African lives. As long as those countries do not have to take care of millions of refugees it is okay for them-proberbly that cynical.
With that as a background ebola will most likely find a second large outbreak region-I would not be surprised if that would turn out to be a major city (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinshasa 11 million inhabitants) but another area-inside the DRC or its neighbours-could fall victim as well.
And yes-when you ignore the knowledge about ebola, ignore the problem-ebola may become a global problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics

(DJ-Some quotes of the good article)
Each of the country's previous nine outbreaks since 1976, when the virus was first identified, occurred in remote regions and were controlled within three months. This time, thousands of health professionals have been deployed and more than 170,000 people have received an effective trial vaccine. Yet May, the tenth month, was the deadliest so far, and a further 349 cases were confirmed in July.
The problem, according to the health ministry, is that up to 40 per cent of Ebola victims ignore official advice to visit such centres, and instead die at home and infect others.
"Community deaths are the worst scenario, and make it very difficult to control the epidemic," said Gaston Tshapenda, the ministry's senior official in Beni. "We need to break this vicious circle and establish trust with the community."
(DJ-Basicly the people do not trust the healthcare workers. So no control-missing 40% is an estimate. )
DJ-A second vaccine is supposed to help, also better relations, trust, is being worked on.
Ebola reached a major city https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goma with at least three cases. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/08/ebola-case-confirmed-drc-goma-rwanda-shuts-border-190801095007162.html Goma is over 350km south of the present Ebola-outbreak.
"Her father was a miner in his 40s who was returning from a part of northeastern Ituri province where no Ebola cases in this outbreak have been recorded, WHO officials told reporters." and "His case was not thought to be linked to the earlier death of a pastor who became infected during a visit to the town of Butembo, one of the epicentres of the epidemic. " May give an indication of "loss of controll" in the DRC-Ebola tragedy.
DJ-In my opinion july 2020 ebola will have reached over 10.000 cases and most likely spread even more wider. The only way to stop that is much more effort by international groups to deal with this crisis.
Flooding, hurricanes etc may worsen the situation even further. Massive panic and break down of government could be a nightmare scenario.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-ebola-congo/congo-races-to-contain-ebola-after-gold-miner-contaminates-several-in-goma-idUSKCN1US0XP
"The gold miner ... will have contaminated several people, but for the moment it is only his wife and one of his ten children who are sick," Muyembe said.
The man himself had died of the virus earlier this week and only sought treatment more than a week after starting to show symptoms.
"The individual concerned spent time with his family ... (being) very symptomatic within the community. So we did expect further cases and we are seeing further cases," Margaret Harris, a spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation (WHO), which declared Ebola an international health emergency last month, told journalists in Geneva.
A sister of that same miner who had traveled to Congo's South Kivu province was swiftly identified and brought back to Goma, Muyembe said.
DJ-Only if we are very lucky Ebola is under control in Goma.

Ongoing vaccination activities have reached the majority (98%) of eligible contacts, and 1314 contacts, contacts of contacts and frontline workers vaccinated to date.
New infections continue to be reported among personnel working in community health posts and other facilities. In the last 21 days, 14 new cases were reported among health workers from Mandima (n=5), Beni (n=4), and one each in Katwa, Mambasa, Masereka, Oicha, and Vuhovi. Cumulatively, 149 (5%) healthcare workers have been infected to date.
A new milestone has been reached, I am sorry to stay, and the outbreak has been going for over a year.
The numbers of people who have died in the current Ebola outbreak in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo has reached the 2,000 mark, government figures show.
This outbreak, in the east of DR Congo, is the second largest on record with the number of cases now exceeding 3,000, according to the government.

A Reporter Apparently Found James Comey's Secret Twitter And Instagram Account, And He's Not Even Mad
James Comey dropped just a few hints about his private social media accounts, but that appears to have been enough for a Gizmodo reporter to find him.
By Salvador Hernandez
Salvador Hernandez BuzzFeed News Reporter
Posted on March 30, 2017, at 8:57 p.m. ET
FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday dropped a few details about his secret social media accounts, and that was just enough for a reporter to dig up what appear to be his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
But the FBI director, who said he treasures his privacy despite being the highest-profile law enforcement figure in the country, doesn't seem to be mad about getting doxxed.
FBI Director Comey's alleged Twitter account.
Perhaps the head of the FBI was impressed by the quick sleuthing of Gizmodo reporter Ashley Feinberg, but hours after she published her story on the not-so-secret-anymore accounts, Comey's suspected Twitter account published its first tweet ever.
Twitter / Via Twitter: @projectexile7
Not only does the tweet seem to applaud Feinberg's detective work, but it also included a link to jobs available at the FBI.
But that's not all.
Comey's suspected Instagram account — which was followed by just 9 people and amazingly contained more than 3,000 posts — deleted every picture and left only this gem behind, tagging Feinberg in the process.

Of course, minutes after Feinberg's story was published the two accounts were flooded with followers.
The Twitter account racked up more than 8,000 followers Wednesday before suddenly protecting its tweets, and the more than 3,000 posts on Instagram were deleted but for the one video.
So do the accounts belong to the FBI director?
The FBI would not comment on Gizmodo's story.
It also did not respond to BuzzFeed News requests for comment on whether Comey was applauding Feinberg's find.

Q: Syncfusion tab control's value doesn't refresh when value of elements changes I have a syncfusion tab control with few pages and it is showing the values that are set in state variables, whenever I change values by setstate, I expect that the values in the tabs get updated but unfortunately it doesn't happen.
I even set  enablePersistence="true" but had no effect.
if I put input field in the form, by clicking the test button, it will be refreshed by the new values but not the one in tab control.
your advices would be appreciated.
here is the code:
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export default class FormDataBinding extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super(...arguments);
    this.state = { name: "name", family: "family" };

    this.headertext = [
      { text: "Twitter", iconCss: "e-twitter" },
    ];
  }
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  tabContent1 = () => {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>

thes controls are inside Tab Component

          {/* it's not working because it's inside  tabComponent */}
          <input
            type="text"
            value={this.state.name}
            key="nameKey1"
            id="nameId1"
            style={{ width: "500px" }}
          ></input>

          <input
            type="text"
            value={this.state.family}
            key="familyID1"
            id="familyKey1"
            style={{ width: "500px" }}
          ></input>
          <button onClick={this.btnClick.bind(this)}>click hear</button>

      </React.Fragment>
    );
  };
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  btnClick = () => {
    var newName = "name :" + new Date().toTimeString();
    var familyName = "family : " + new Date().toTimeString();

    this.setState({ name: newName });
    this.setState({ family: familyName });
    this.UpdateStateInstantly(newName);
    this.ShowTabs();
  };
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ShowTabs = () => {
    return (
      <TabComponent
        enablePersistence="true"
        heightAdjustMode="Auto"
        id="defaultTab"
      >
        <TabItemsDirective>

          {/* ------------< Tab1 >------------- */}
          <TabItemDirective
            presentation={true}
            header={this.headertext[0]}

            content={this.tabContent1}
          />

        </TabItemsDirective>
      </TabComponent>
    );
  };
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  render() {
    return (

          {/*-------------------*/}
          <button onClick={this.btnClick.bind(this)}>click here</button>

          {/* //-----------------------------------< Tabs >--------------------- */}
          {this.ShowTabs()}
          {/* //--------------------------------------------------------------- */}

    );
  }
}

A: We have achieved your requirement using the custom data in template in the content property. We have passed template and data to Tab content for retrieving setState changes. This issue reason is because the setstate is not immediately mutate inside the Tab content template.  Kindly refer to the following code.
tabContent1 = (data, data1) => {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>

thes controls are inside Tab Component

          {/* it's not working because it's inside  tabComponent */}
          <input
            type="text"
            value={data.text}
            key="nameKey1"
            id="nameId1"
            style={{ width: "500px" }}
          />

          <input
            type="text"
            value={data1.textval}
            key="familyID1"
            id="familyKey1"
            style={{ width: "500px" }}
          />

          <button onClick={this.btnClick.bind(this)}>click hear</button>

      </React.Fragment>
    );
  };
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  btnClick = () => {
    debugger;
    var newName = "name :" + new Date().toTimeString();
    var familyName = "family : " + new Date().toTimeString();

    this.setState({ name: newName });
    this.setState({ family: familyName });
    //this.UpdateStateInstantly(newName);
    // this.ShowTabs(); // no need to call this method again

  };
  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ShowTabs = () => {
    return (
      <TabComponent
        ref={tab => (this.tab = tab)}
        enablePersistence="true"
        heightAdjustMode="Auto"
        id="defaultTab"
      >
        <TabItemsDirective>
          {console.log("ShowTabs1")}
          {/* ------------< Tab1 >------------- */}
          <TabItemDirective
            presentation={true}
            header={this.headertext[0]}
            content={{
              template: this.tabContent1,
              data: { text: this.state.name, textval: this.state.family }
            }}
          />
          {console.log("ShowTabs2")}
        </TabItemsDirective>
      </TabComponent>
    );
  };

We have attached the below sample for your reference.
Sample: https://codesandbox.io/s/flamboyant-cartwright-o8isb

A: The state update is asynchrounous, so you have to use this syntax to be sure that the functions UpdateStateInstantly and ShowTabs are triggered right after the state update, and not before:
btnClick = () => {
    var newName = "name :" + new Date().toTimeString();
    var familyName = "family : " + new Date().toTimeString();

    this.setState({ name: newName, family: familyName }, () => {
       this.UpdateStateInstantly(newName);
       this.ShowTabs();
    });
};

A: As I was using Syncfusion Tab component, I asked their support team and fortunately they guided me to the right answer :
TabContent1 = (data, data1) => {
return (
  <React.Fragment>

      {/* it's not working because it's inside  tabComponent */}
      <input
        type="text"
        value={data.text}
        key="nameKey1"
        id="nameId1"
        style={{ width: "500px" }}
      />

      <input
        type="text"
        value={data1.textval}
        key="familyID1"
        id="familyKey1"
        style={{ width: "500px" }}
      />

      <button onClick={this.btnClick.bind(this)}>click hear</button>

  </React.Fragment>
);
};

  btnClick = () => {

     var newName = "name :" + new Date().toTimeString();
     var familyName = "family : " + new Date().toTimeString();

     this.setState({ name: newName });
     this.setState({ family: familyName });
  };

  ShowTabs = () => {
    return (
      <TabComponent
      ref={tab => (this.tab = tab)}
      enablePersistence="true"
      heightAdjustMode="Auto"
      id="defaultTab"
    >
    <TabItemsDirective>
      {console.log("ShowTabs1")}
      {/* ------------< Tab1 >------------- */}
      <TabItemDirective
        presentation={true}
        header={this.headertext[0]}

        // MAGIC IS THESE TWO LINES IN CONTENT
        content={{
          template: this.tabContent1,
          data: { text: this.state.name, textval: this.state.family }
        }}
      />

    </TabItemsDirective>
  </TabComponent>
);

};

Music out of Confinement
"The energy in Cruchley's performance was received very enthusiastically by both the audience as well as by conductor [Stefan Blunier], who spontaneously and very warmly embraced him at the end of the 3rd concerto. Cruchley's playing was pithy, direct, clearly defined and very individual. In the 2nd movement, he demonstrated perhaps the most sophisticated sound-production of the evening, enticing delicate tendrils of sound from the keyboard, and a multitude of colours and nuances – phenomenal!"
Guido Krawinkel, Musik Heute (Music Today) – http://www.musik-heute.de/
"At the competition finale, the charismatic 29-year-old rendered Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with an astonishing range of nuances, charming the orchestra as well to achieve a satisfying collaborative effort. And something that those who heard only the finale didn't know: "He plays Shostakovich like a Russian," remarked a visiting colleague from classical broadcaster Radio Orpheus in Moscow."
Deutsche Welle – http://www.dw.com/
"Cruchley…laid out the architecture of the music so extraordinarily clearly, such that the musical discourse of each individual composer was highly intelligible. He delighted us with his unusual capacity for variety of sounds and colours, bringing the instrument to a full orchestral might when called for, all the while remaining clear and contoured…
In Scriabin's Fifth Sonata, both the Virtuoso and the Artist are perfectly in command, serving the music at every moment. When the music reduces itself to the bare minimum of textures, with few notes at the interpreter's disposal, Cruchley plays so delicately, so suggestively, that only admiration remains..."
Roland Happersberger, Die Rheinpfalz

Austrians will still remember the short messaging portal sms.at that went online in 1999. Its founders, the brothers Martin and Jürgen Pansy, now are heads of UT11 that develops mobile solutions. Currently, they are diversifying to become a "company builder" that wants to locate and support talented minds that have a concrete business idea. For that purpose, they partnered up with private equity managers to allocate some five million euros towards giving the most promising tech venture ideas a hand to make their international breakthrough.
The team at UT11 focuses on a less-is-more approach as they also plan to bring in expertise from their existing teams by temporarily implementing employees to the startup currently taken care of. For when it comes to the selection process, interested startups can simply fill out a contact form on the agency's homepage, turn it in and pitch their idea at UT11's office. "After the pitch they will definitely get feedback because we would like to help even if we come to the conclusion that the idea in questions does not suit us," said Pansy.
Capital is being provided by the agency Up to Eleven itself, respectively its shareholders, and private equity manager Rene Berger and investor Toto Wolff. Both are shareholders of UT11 and founders of the equity capital venture next march and march.fifteen, respectively. Since a management buyout in 2012, both are aboard of UT11. Still, the agency will be seeking additional seed capital on a case-to-case basis, if needed: "Depending on a certain startup, we will be on the lookout for additional capital sources to further support the growth phase," Pansy commented.


In Episode 3, The Turnrow Podcast introduces you to Zach Burrows, a special guest from the Front Range area. We visited with Zach on his experiences with hemp production, as well as issues that stemmed from the wet winter.
*This podcast was recorded this winter. Crop Quest has been fielding numerous hemp related questions and we wanted to share some of the crop insights.

Devoted to Innovation, Committed to Sustainability
Elan was founded in 1945 as a premium manufacturer of skis and sports equipment and has earned the reputation as a global brand that has changed skiing as you know it, several times over.
Our products create unforgettable moments for all skiers who spend their free time in the mountains with friends and family. We are part of sports and culture, but as a company we are also a commercial entity that is aware of our responsibility to take care of nature for future generations.
Our planet is quickly warming, and the scientific community is unanimously concerned that this trend can only be limited by a swift and well-thought-out set of sustainable measures. At Elan, we want to contribute to a more sustainable future through our business practices and adapt our activities in all key areas accordingly.
"Looking forward, we want not only to design the skis of the future, but also the future of skiing, while protecting the world we cherish."
The journey of our company has been one of innovation and challenging the status quo as we strive to always stay one step ahead. Sometimes breakthroughs come through technology, sometimes as revolutionary ideas, like carving or folding skis. We have been able to create a solution for many challenges and looking ahead we want to design not only the skis of the future, but the future of skiing, while also protecting the world we admire.
By the year 2030 we will focus our operations on:
Improving energy efficiency and consequently reducing greenhouse gas emissions in our own processes.
Reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
Optimizing the sustainability of the supply chain.
Increasing the recycled content of products and increasing the recovery of materials used in the manufacture of products.
Increasing the proportion of recycled waste.
Ensuring a safer, healthier, more pleasant, and worker-friendly environment.
Sustainable business has been part of Elan's identity for decades, as the company has grown from a visionary idea of founder Rudi Finžgar, to a leading international manufacturer. Throughout its development Elan has remained entirely at its original site where all production phases are conducted vertically. We are the only global ski manufacturing company that can claim that our products are handmade in a single location.
Innovation takes shape wherever we are faced with real challenge - for Elan, it's in the mountains. At the Elan factory, the Alps rise 2000 meters above our facility and our backyard is our testing ground. Our company is proud of its local community, with which we actively cooperate.
Energy and greenhouse gas emissions
As of 2022, our production is powered by electricity generated 100% from sustainable renewable energy sources (RES). By switching to clean energy, we have reduced the annual greenhouse gas emissions of our manufacturing processes by 498 tons of CO2-eq, which would have required 15,000 trees to absorb. As of 2022 we will meet approximately 15% of our energy needs with our own solar generated power and we are determined to increase this percentage over the coming years.
Sustainability of the supply chain
99% of the raw materials used to make Elan skis are sourced from Europe and selected to the highest standards. As much as 68% of all materials are produced within a 400-kilometer radius of the company's headquarters, and 18% sourced directly from Slovenia. All wood used to make our skis is verified, traceable, and sustainably sourced.
Innovation for a sustainable future
Elan aims to make a global sustainable contribution to the ski industry through the innovative use of techniques and technologies. In 2017 we developed and were the first to use a technology of direct digital printing on skis that substantially reduces the use of VOC's (volatile organic compounds).
Our Balance Sheets are Green
At Elan we measure our business sustainability with a methodological framework called the Triple Bottom Line, but the business performance is just one of the three Ps of Elan's success. Our activities are first and foremost focused on the social well-being of People and a sustainable footprint on the Planet.
Elan enjoys the reputation as a socially responsible company.
Elan is a family-friendly environment that relies on local knowledge and the intergenerational transfer of skills. Many of our employees are part of our brand for the second or third generation, making sure that we carefully manage our heritage and develop our social identity.
We are an active partner and stakeholder in the wider social dialogue and an associate partner of socially responsible projects in Slovenia. We are committed to developing ski culture and maintaining a successful ski tradition in Slovenia.
A special mention should also be made about the Elan Museum - the Slovenian Alpine Ski Museum - which is a key part of our production facility in Begunje. We respect our history and traditions and proudly pass on our stories to coming generations.
We strive for sustainable operation by sourcing sustainable inputs, renewable energy, and optimizing production and business processes along the entire value chain.
With our commitment to sustainable business we support Slovenian conservation projects, as we passionately believe that transparent and fact-based communication is an important part of our social responsibility.
Elan has been working closely with the Slovenian Forestry Institute to source part of the wood for our future needs from the immediate surroundings of the company.
Being able to claim 100% handmade in the Slovenian Alps is a privilege and conducting an industrial activity in close proximity to mountain habitats comes with a major responsibility. Elan ensures operational excellence while respecting people, communities, and the environment. The company is 100% renewable energy driven, and the sustainability of our business processes is integrated into the strategic direction of the business through a growing number of solutions. Elan is committed to continuously reducing its environmental footprint, both in the winter division and in wider group operations.
"When you place sustainability in the context of a business balance sheet and use it as a cornerstone of the business ethos, it transforms into an opportunity to drive the strategic direction of the business and harness its innovative potential. The team that currently makes up Elan's winter division has been handed a company with a 75-year long history. As we look towards the next 75 years, we can't get past the fact that the path to get there is closely intertwined with our relationship towards the environment. Elan is part of this environment, our employees are part of this community, we've been in this Alpine village since the very beginning, and the fact that we are able to grow in balance with nature and give back as much as we take is part of the Elan DNA. When your work is so closely intertwined with nature the lines between personal commitment to the future of the environment and business commitment to sustainable growth become blurred. But that's why we are sustainable by nature." - Leon Korošec, Director of Elan's Winter Division.
The human connection to nature is fundamental, unique and so long-lasting that we feel it is part of our own DNA. This deep connection has played a decisive role in mankind's ability to adapt to conditions and develop its innovative potential. For those of us who have always lived close to winter, ingenuity and innovation have been a way of life and sustainable progress.

Dekret o podejrzanych (fr. Loi des suspects) – dekret Konwentu Narodowego przegłosowany 17 września 1793. Rozpoczynał on fazę zaostrzonych represji wymierzonych w przeciwników rewolucji.

Autorami projektu dekretu byli jakobini Philippe-Antoine Merlin de Douai i Jean-Jacques-Régis de Cambacérès. Ustawa wyszczególniała jako potencjalnych wrogów rewolucji (podejrzanych) wszystkich księży odmawiających złożenia przysięgi na konstytucję cywilną kleru, byłych arystokratów oraz ich rodziny, rodziny emigrantów, spekulantów, oficerów podejrzewanych o niedostateczną lojalność wobec republiki, a także każdego, kto swoim zachowaniem, poglądami wyrażonymi w mowie lub piśmie mógł budzić podejrzenia o popieranie monarchii lub federalizmu (tj. żyrondystów).  W odróżnieniu od wcześniejszych aktów prawnych poruszających kwestię "podejrzanych", ustawa ta nie tylko zalecała szczególny nadzór nad nimi, ale wręcz obligowała do dokonania ich natychmiastowych aresztowań. Zasada ta została jeszcze zaostrzona po wprowadzeniu tzw. certyfikatów obywatelskich (fr. du civisme). Wówczas każda osoba, której komitet cywilny danej sekcji odmówił wydania certyfikatu, automatycznie stawała się podejrzaną.

Realizowanie w praktyce postanowień ustawy miało być obowiązkiem każdego obywatela, w szczególności na poziomie sekcji, nadzór nad całością miał zaś pełnić Komitet Bezpieczeństwa Powszechnego. W ten sposób pomysłodawcy prawa chcieli nie tylko zaostrzyć środki prawne wymierzone w przeciwników rewolucji, ale również dokonać ich instytucjonalizacji, zapobiegając przypadkowym samosądom. W praktyce wykonywanie dekretu o podejrzanych wiązało się z wieloma nadużyciami. "Wykrywanie wrogów rewolucji" dla wielu aktywistów związanych z radykalnymi klubami stało się drogą do łatwej kariery, zwłaszcza na prowincji. Również przypadki sporne były najczęściej rozstrzygane na niekorzyść osób podejrzewanych o wrogość wobec rewolucji, zgodnie z zaleceniem Komuny Paryża, by za podejrzanych uważać nie tylko otwartych przeciwników rewolucji, ale także osoby niezaangażowane w nią.

Szacuje się, że wskutek wprowadzania w życie prawa o podejrzanych zostało w całej Francji uwięzionych pół miliona osób, a 300 tys. znalazło się pod nadzorem Gwardii Narodowej. Jego egzekwowanie na dotychczasowych zasadach zakończył przewrót 9 thermidora; w roku 1795 ustawa została ostatecznie zniesiona.

Pinshape will operate as a standalone business within Formlabs.
Formlabs announced the release of Dental SG Resin, the first biocompatible resin in desktop 3D printing. Enabling professionals to push new boundaries in digital dentistry, Dental SG is a certified biocompatible Class 1 material designed primarily for surgical guide applications. The latest addition to Formlabs' material portfolio, Dental SG will allow applications never seen before in the desktop 3D printing space such as high-precision drill guides from digital scan data for implant surgeries. Dental professionals can now move from a 3D model to a directly printed surgical guide, at a quick turnaround and a tremendously affordable price.
In recent years, dental applications in desktop 3D printing have rapidly taken off. Formlabs products have become indispensable tools for dental innovation. Dentists use the Form 2 to create surgical guides, educational models, bleaching trays, retainers, aligners, and more. Some of the applications have transformed the medical field. At the Indiana University School of Dentistry, Dr. Travis Bellicchi, a resident specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics, is developing a new digital workflow with Formlabs 3D printers to create accurate prostheses for individual patients, inspired by his work with Shirley Anderson, a Vietnam veteran who suffered severe jaw loss as a result of cancer. Today's introduction of Dental SG will continue to significantly expand the industry's repertoire of dental applications.
Compatible with the Form 2 3D printer, the Dental SG biocompatible resin will be available directly from the Formlabs web store. Dental SG joins Formlabs' comprehensive library of advanced materials for its 3D printers, which includes a suite of Standard and Functional resins for a variety of capabilities.
Formlabs announced the launch of Form 2, the company's second generation high-resolution, desktop stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. The Form 2 brings bigger prints, smarter components, connected capabilities, and an intuitive printing experience to professionals.
Form 2 raises the industry standard for reliable prints, delivers sophisticated technology with an intuitive interface and introduces new features aimed at team collaboration, simpler workflows and time savings.
Bigger prints: Over 40% bigger build volume from its predecessor the Form 1+.
More powerful laser: 50% more powerful laser yielding better print resolution.
New print process: A new sliding peel mechanism, wiper and heated resin tank make it possible to print large, solid parts with intricate details.
Automated resin system: New resin cartridges will automatically refill the resin tank during the printing process.
One-click print: An update to Formlabs' PreForm Software, this feature will prepare prints and simplify the printing process.
Connected capabilities: The Form 2 offers wireless printing via WiFi, creating custom notifications and mobile alerts. The new dashboard enables print progress to be monitored across multiple printers on desktop, mobile or tablet.
Professionals worldwide have been using Formlabs for a host of ambitions – from the digital artist creating a film made entirely of 3D-printed parts, to the engineer designing surgical prototypes to enable cleaner suturing methods, to researchers at Fortune 500 companies, to the small businesses printing customized parts, to the many entrepreneurs 3D printing prototypes.
The company was founded in 2012 by a team of engineers and designers from the MIT Media Lab and Center for Bits and Atoms.
Formlabs, the makers of the Form 1+ SLA 3D Printer, announced a new functional resin designed for applications in engineering and prototyping. With Tough Resin, Form 1+ users can now produce strong, sturdy parts with physical properties similar to ABS plastic.
Durable parts are essential for engineering and prototyping. Now, parts produced with Formlabs' Tough Resin will be able to absorb high-impact and other mechanical stress that would normally cause 3D printed parts to snap or shatter. From load-bearing gears to snap-fit enclosures, Tough Resin material has been engineered for applications that require performance under stress or strain.
In celebration of the material's release, and to demonstrate the many functional properties of Tough Resin, Formlabs has created the first 3d-printed Rube Goldberg machine. This version of the popular chain-reaction machine has been assembled by printing many of the major mechanisms with Tough Resin on the Form 1+ SLA 3D Printer.
Parts printed in Formlabs' Tough Resin delivers a superior combination of yield strength, elongation, and impact resistance; the key characteristics used to assess material toughness.
Tough Resin is available in 1-liter bottles from the Formlabs web store immediately. The material is compatible with both the Form 1 and Form 1+ 3D Printers.
Formlabs announced the Form 1+, an extensive overhaul of their flagship desktop stereolithographic 3D printer. The fast-growing 3D printer startup also announced a new material, as well as the launch of their European store.
The Form 1+ has a second-generation laser system that is four times more powerful than its predecessor, allowing it to print up to 50% faster. It also has a redesigned galvanometer control system, so it produces models with finer detail and a smoother surface finish. Numerous other components have been overhauled to provide a more reliable printing experience.
A reinforced peel motor assembly and an all-new light-blocking injection-molded resin tank – allowing resin to be easily stored — ensure repeatable, dependable prints, and better materials care. Along with these improvements, Formlabs is proud to offer an industry-leading 1 year warranty, at no extra cost.
Owners of the original Form 1 will have the opportunity to participate in a factory upgrade program that will bring their printer to Form 1+ specifications and grant them a new 1-year warranty. The Form 1+ Upgrade is available for $749 (€599).
Formlabs is devoted to providing the best end-to-end customer experience possible. In that spirit, the Form 1+ launch is accompanied by a major software release, PreForm 1.5. The updated software introduces powerful manual support controls, a much-requested feature. Formlabs also rolled-out a revamped, internationalized web store, website, and support center, to continue to provide top-notch customer support and high-quality educational materials.


The devastating Haifa fire has been extinguished and now the political fire-fight rages in Israel. Who, if anyone, will take responsibility for the pathetic state of Israel's fire departments that were incapable of dousing the flames? For years Israel's fire service has been grossly undermanned, lacking equipment and politically mismanaged. . Taking most of the heat is Interior Minister Eli Ishai, leader of the Shas ultra-orthodox party, who bears ministerial responsibility for the fire departments. There have been calls from the opposition, the bereaved families and from the media for either Ishai's resignation, or his sacking by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Ishai has defended himself by saying: "I sounded the alarm" by warning the fire service desperately needed a bigger budget for more manpower and equipment.
Although State Comptroller Mica Lindenstraus has just issued a scathing report on the past situation that also points the finger at other government leaders including Netanyahu, Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and Defense Minister Ehud Barak - it lays the primary blame at Ishai's door. Now fighting for his political life, the Shas party leader also argues that he is being singled out because of his Moroccan origin and his being an ultra-orthodox Jew. His critics reply that Ishai knew how to bang his fist on the table and demand additional public funding for Yeshiva students, but not for his firemen. The fact that Israel had to appeal to foreign countries for aircraft and chemicals cries to high heaven. If there is any meaning to ministerial responsibility in Israel's parliamentary system, Ishai should go. However, it is the practice of Israeli cabinet ministers never to resign for debacles, and this crosses party lines whether Left, Right or Center, 'It's just NOT done!' (Even after the failings of the Second Lebanon War of 2005 Defense Minister Amir Peretz did not resign - he remained in office for a year or so before he deigned to step down). So why doesn't Prime Minister Netanyahu bang his fist on the table and repeat President Harry Truman's memorable words: 'The buck stops here!' Clearly, Ishai is an abysmal failure as a cabinet minister and should be fired, so why doesn't Netanyahu do it? Well, if he did, Shas would bolt the coalition and possibly start the dominoes falling for Netanyahu's government.
For months rumbling is growing inside Left Wing Labor for quitting the cabinet over the PM's refusal to extend the settlement freeze. So look for the Israeli version of a political 'perpetual motion machine'. Everyone has started passing the buck so it ends up nowhere and with Likud ministers telling the public: 'The mess in the Fire Department has existed for years and under numerous governments, so we're all to blame!' And indubitably, if everyone is to blame then no one is. (Except maybe Israeli voters who put up with such a deplorable state of affairs). So why do they? Many Right wingers are obviously incensed over Ishai's negligence in the Haifa calamity but they are likely to look the other way. They have a vested interest in preserving the Netanyahu government because of its support for settlement building In the West Bank. In this case, Henry Kissinger's reported observation: 'Israel has no foreign policy only domestic politics' works the other way round. Therefore it is likely the foreign policy consideration of West Bank settlements will be the overriding factor for Right wingers when it comes to a domestic decision about firing any government officials. This is likely to apply to the Knesset State Comptroller's Committee that is to vote on whether to conduct any independent inquiry that might recommend the dismissal of government officials. Another avenue might be Israel's Supreme Court. The independent Movement for Quality Government is to petition the Supreme Court requesting that the prime minister fire Ishai for negligence but this appears to be a long shot.
Opposition leader Tzipi Livni of Kadima has demanded that Netanyahu himself now resign. In a hard hitting public speech, Livni charged the Prime Minister bore the ultimate responsibility. How could Netanyahu, who was been warning of a 'decisive year' with Iran, failed to prepare the country for a big forest fire let alone a bitter military confrontation. On this score, it should be noted that the outgoing chief of IDF intelligence has warned that any future war would involve fighting on several fronts against multiple enemies and that the home front would be hit harder than ever before.
On this score, Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned: "No one should have any delusions that the latest negotiations with Iran will dissuade it to halt its nuclear weapons program." In a briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee, Barak said there was now an international consensus that Tehran was bent on building the bomb. However, Israel's assessment was the Iranians were closer to the bomb than most other countries believed. On a personal level, the Labor party leader said his conscience was clear about serving in the Netanyahu cabinet because he did more for the country as defense minister than he would in the opposition. But Barak will now face more flak inside Labor after the U.S. announced its failure to extend the settlement freeze as a means to reviving the Palestinian peace talks. Offer Anie, the powerful Histadrut trade union leader, has demanded that Labor resign from the government, if Netanyahu did not bring Kadima into the cabinet in order to extend the settlement freeze and renew negotiations with the Palestinians. Barak also saw those talks as being in Israel's national interest and, with Netanyahu's blessing, has again traveled to Washington to discuss the issue with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Unless negotiations are resumed, Labor's days in the cabinet may be numbered no matter how much Ehud Barak wants to keep his job of defense minister.

GF Securities Sponsored HKUST Entrepreneurship Competition for 4 Years, Assisting Hong Kong Youths to Start Businesses
By: Hansa
On: ธันวาคม 28, 2020
In: ACN Newswire
Tagged: hong, investments, kong, region, securities
HONG KONG, Dec 28, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – The Grand Final and Awarding Dinner of the HKUST-Sino One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition 2020 were successfully held recently. This year the Competition received more than 1800 entrepreneurship plans from 8 regions, namely Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yangtze Delta, Zhongshan, Foshan, Hong Kong and Macau. The top 20 teams were picked among the top 3 of each region to battle for the exclusive million-dollar championship. After a fierce competition, this year's triumph of the nation eventually went to Sitan Technology with a one-million-dollar cash prize.
The Competition has already made a path of a decade since its establishment in 2011. Since 2016, the Competition started to step out of HKUST campus and expand from a single-region match to an 8-region one, growing into a renowned entrepreneurship contest in the Greater China region. As the platinum sponsor of the Hong Kong region, GF Securities has intensely sponsored the Competition for 4 consecutive years and set up the GF Innovation Award for 2 years in a row, to support certain spectacularly innovative business plans.
The winner of the President Award, the highest rank in Hong Kong region, as well as the GF Innovation Award, sponsored by GF Securities Co., Ltd. ("GF Securities", stock code: 1776.HK; 000776.SZ), was the biotech start-up SPES Tech. It defeated other candidates with its proprietary photosensitive hydrogel that possesses a higher bioactivity and simulates a more flexible and accurate microscopic human cell environment for biomedical studies. SPES Tech was also shortlisted for the Grand Final, competing against other finalists from the 8 regions across the nation.
Through participating in the Competition, SPES Tech team believed that not only have they gained an attractive cash prize for testing and research but also a more in-depth understanding of product commercialisation as well as feedback and opinions from the judges from a business perspective. Furthermore, the team has been connected with more industrial friends in the healthcare sector, which is extremely helpful for their future development.
As a sophisticated sponsor for the Competition, GF Securities also provided professional opinions and guidance with its own abundant resources and experience. Dr Yingying Chen, Managing Director at GF Investments (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("GF Investments (Hong Kong)"), also an experienced investor, once again participated as an adjudicator in the final of Hong Kong region this year. Dr Yingying Chen said, "I am so honoured to represent GF Securities again as the adjudicator. As a direct investment firm which focuses on domestic and overseas equity investments in Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and possesses rich resources of start-up investments as well as management experience, GF Investments (Hong Kong) has always been closely following outstanding start-ups in every field. This year's competition has been an extremely intense one, and lots of distinguished entrepreneur teams have flocked, both showing Hong Kong youths' passion in entrepreneurship and the current friendly environment." Dr Chen also mentioned, compared to last year, this year she saw more projects in the biomedical field, exactly in which GF Investments (Hong Kong) has been most interested. The COVID-19 pandemic and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong welcoming pre-profit biotech firms to list in Hong Kong were believed to be possible reasons. Students have utilised Hong Kong's blessed financial advantages, stayed tuned with changes in the capital market and astutely observed the current atmosphere, thus producing plenty of innovative technologies and ideas. GF Securities and its subsidiary, GF Investments (Hong Kong), will continue to help effectively match exceptional projects with funds and resources, boosting the development of start-ups and contributing to nurturing more brilliant entrepreneurs.
As one of the most influential brokers in the Chinese capital market, GF Securities has always been adhering to its community motto of "Gathering love and giving from the heart." In China, GF Securities has also carried out the campaign of "Micro-entrepreneurs in Universities" for 6 consecutive years through GF Securities Social Charity Foundation. Since 2015, GF Securities has already donated RMB20.2 million, in which RMB4.5 million was for the supporting foundation for university entrepreneurs. To date, 176 micro-entrepreneurship tutors and nearly 40 high schools, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, have profoundly participated in the campaign, impacting tens of millions of people in manifold ways. This campaign aims to support and aid youth's dreams of entrepreneurship by encouraging and advising university students to broaden their horizons, optimise their entrepreneur projects and match risk investment resources. Looking forward, GF Securities will bear its original aspiration in mind and make use of its influence, committing to charity with actual deeds and fully supporting entrepreneurship of the young generation.

Seat readies unveiling of its first SUV
Seat News 1,217 Views
Volkswagen Group's Seat brand will unveil its first SUV as the brand seeks to benefit from a booming segment in Europe.
The compact SUV will seek to stand out in the highly competitive segment by having a sporty design instead of rugged off-road looks. It will challenge models such as the Nissan Qashqai and Mazda CX-5
The SUV will be unveiled on Wednesday ahead of its public debut at the Geneva auto show in March, a Seat spokesman told Automotive News Europe.
Seat has not disclosed any details about the SUV ahead of the official unveiling. Motoring press reports said it will be called the Ateca in keeping with Seat's tradition of naming its cars after locations in its Spanish home market. Ateca is a town in the northern Spain.
The SUV will take design cues from the midsize 20V20 concept unveiled at the Geneva show last year. It will sit alongside Seat's Leon compact hatchback. Like the Leon, it will be based on parent Volkswagen Group's MQB architecture, which also underpins the new VW Tiguan.
Former Seat CEO Juergen Stackman outlined the brand's plans to enter Europe's fast-growing SUV/crossover segments, starting with the compact class and then the subcompact SUV sector. Since then Stackmann has moved to VW brand as head of global sales.
His successor, Luca de Meo, Audi's former sales and marketing boss, is continuing Stackmann's SUV push. The new SUV is set to become the brand's third major pillar, together with the Leon and the Ibiza subcompact, de Meo said in a Jan. 19 press release. The model "will enable us to cover the fastest growing segment in recent years," he said.
The SUV is due to reach European dealerships in the middle of the year. It will likely be priced at about 20,000 euros in Germany, AutoBild magazine said, which would be similar to the Qashqai's 19,990-euro starting price.

Match three magic objects and clear the play field of enchanted tiles. Use swords, Tibetan coins, lanterns, scrolls and other sacred relics. Hurry, because the wick is burning and if it reaches the powder keg, your time is up.
Comments: This was an enjoyable match 3 game for the entire family to play. The relaxed mode was nice just to enjoy the game and the backgrounds. Collecting the talismans are an additional benefit to the story line and the game play.
Comments: Brightly colored graphics and beautifully drawn pictures highlight this colorful match 3. You work a series of levels to obtain a talisman to help you on your quest, there being 10 in all. A relaxed mode is available if you just want to enjoy the game and pictures. I highly recommend this game for all match 3 lovers.


Discussion in 'The Projects Forum' started by thamer, Aug 15, 2012.
brightness in normal light). actually im kinda lost at designing such circuit. should i use a photo resister? is it possible to use shift registor?? any idea will be useful. thanks in advance..
How are you controlling the current supplied to your LED display? Dimming is easy if you are using PWM control - you can just decrease the duty cycle and thus the average current and brightness.
Detecting the light level is easy with any LDR (light dependent resistor). I usually see a CdS cell used for this, so I suppose that's the cheapest way to do it.
Leap Motion, a hand tracking company, has just raised $50 million funding for its continued development of its hand tracking system.
The ease with which an Arduino can obtain sensor values is one of the features that makes it so useful.

The last blog post with photos from my trip to Australia. In here are birds found while driving from Surfers Paradise, on the 30th of Dec. 2016 up until we left the country on the 4th of Jan, 2017.
So, below are som photos from these last days in Australia, including a full day with a guide Andrew Patrick - check out his webpage.
First out, from Surfers Paradise, we headed for Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. This was too long a drive for one day, with the kids and all, so we had booked a room at Tea Gardens Country Club.
We had a longer stop at Sandy Beach. Beautiful place! The beach is amazing. Not that many birds here, though a Black-naped Tern was nice to see.
Bad photo of an Eastern Rosella. We stopped some times at the free coffee stops along the way and this was during one of these stops. I also had a Wedge-tailed Eagle and a Black-shouldered Kite in this place, next photo. Though the Kite is difficult to see in the photo.
When we arrived in Tea Gardens it was already dusk. The Flying Foxes were all around and I managed to take this shot, using the built in flash in the camera. The kids thought the bats were cool.
Even before leaving Sweden, I had this morning planned. A new place can always bring new birds and the habitat here was a bit different to what I had visited before. So I walked from the country club down to the river. Not a long walk but some nice birds along the way. Four new lifers during this morning; Southern Emu-Wren, Yellow Thornbill, Yellow-faced Honeyeater and Scarlet Myzomela (Scarlet Honeyeater). While I had two species of fairy-wrens among other birds during my walk, the trees and bushes just outside of our room at the country club proved to be a gread birding site. This is where I found the two honeyeaters.
After we left Tea Gardens we drove to Katoomba, without any stops, if I remember correctly. We wanted to have the New Year's Eve afternoon there and after getting some lunch we all went for a walk. Spectacular scenery and if it weren't for the flies buzzing all around us this would have been perhaps the most memorable part of the trip. It was really hot this day (not the next day though...) and we took a trail along the edge of the cliffs leading to the three sisters.
I didn't have time for that long a walk but I went back to the three sisters and I at least managed to find a New Holland Honeyeater.
After breakfast we went to the "Scenic world" and tried the cable car and the train there. Wonderful place for the kids and the walk in the forest below the cliff actually gave me a couple of nice sightings. At least three different Superb Lyrebirds - and when the kids saw them they came running to me shouting that they had seen a Peacock... Also Bassian Ground Thrush, which I had seen in Lamington NP but this time I managed to get something resembling a photo of one.
Finally in Sydney! I think this was the place my wife had looked forward to the most ;-) I had, in my turn, booked a day with a local birder. At this point in time, I had been doing quite a lot of birding during this trip to Australia and it proved a little bit difficult to find new species for me. I didn't mind that much, we probably also didn't get the best day for birding either but in the end it was a great day.
At the same location where the three Dollarbirds were, Andrew knew of a dance "arena" - or whatever it is called - of a Bowerbird. Just to the right of the middle of the photo it can be seen and all around are some blue trinkets, which it had collected.
During the day, Andrew gave me the tip to take the ferry to Manly, where the Little Penguin can be seen. I had to make two tours there but I finally managed to see one.
This concludes my trip to Australia. A fantastic experience! Not only birdingwise.
Day tour with Andrew Patrick - Starting with a beach close to Sydney and I've split species according to sites as best I can.
