If you're interested in going to New Zealand, but don't think you can afford the cost of it, you might want to look into WWOOFing. WWOOF stands for Willing Workers On Organic Farms, and it's a common arrangement in New Zealand that allows visitors to stay in the country at a much cheaper cost than if they visited on their own.
Generally visitors work between 3 and 6 hours a day on a farm, an in exchange they're given three meals a day and accommodation. The tasks that WWOOFers are given vary tremendously – some may work in a garden, some may pick fruit, and some may be working on a sailboat. Part of the adventure is the variation in the tasks; no two WWOOFers will have the same story!
There's also the question of who you'll be living with, since no two hosts are alike. You might be with a family, or a couple, or a single person. When choosing from your options of where to WWOOF, you'll want to take your hosts into consideration. After all, they'll be the ones you're working for. You want to make sure that you think you'll be a good fit.
WWOOFing certainly isn't for everyone, but for those whom it's well suited to, it can be an experience that leads to great friendships and wonderful memories. There's a camaraderie among those who have been WWOOFers, due to the experiences they've shared.
So how does one become a WWOOFer?

Eland oil and gas has said it is targeting early 2019 for first production in Nigeria which could significantly increase its output.
The company said development operations on the Gbetiokun field in Nigeria were progressing well.
Eland said it expects an early production system at the field, expected to start up in the first quarter of 2019, to deliver production of around 15,000 barrels of oil per day.
Through its joint venture company Elcrest, Eland's core asset in Africa is a 45 per cent interest in the OML 40 licence which is in the Niger Delta.
The OML 40 licence holds proved and probable reserves of 83.4 million barrels of oil.
George Maxwell, chief executive of Eland said: "Gbetiokun has the potential to deliver a 50 per cent increase in oil production from OML 40.

Evicted: The Hidden Homeless

In a country where people can own two or three homes, these are the stories of those who don't have one.
All three girls and their families have endured the emotional trauma of being thrown out of their homes. With nowhere to go they are absorbed into the hidden world of bed and breakfasts, hotels, safe houses and temporary accommodation. With all of their belongings locked away in storage the girls are literally left with the clothes they stand in.
Living in overcrowded and cramped conditions often miles away from school and friends, the fate of homeless families falls to anonymous council departments who judge and decide if they deserve to be helped and housed. If they are found "Intentionally Homeless" then the Council can remove them from its homelessness statistics, and no longer has a responsibility to house them beyond 28 days in a B&B. Shelter and other charities have seen that the numbers found "intentionally homeless" have increased considerably since central government instructed Councils to "reduce homelessness".
Meanwhile the impact on families and children are devastating. The children in particular face isolation, social exclusion and bullying; they may also miss months of schooling.
13 year old Charlotte feels 'I just wish my family was like everyone else's". They have been homeless for 18 months, and are having to rely on the kindness of friends, sleeping in the council house of woman they met in their previous homeless hostel.
9 people are living in a 2 bedroom flat. Charlotte's mum Lianne was suffering from post-natal depression when the family was made homeless. This condition has been aggravated by prolonged housing problems, so Charlotte's Dad, has had to give up work to take care of everyone and keep the family together and off the streets.
When the Housing Association becomes aware of their presence their friend is given an ultimatum – Charlotte's family must leave or everyone will be evicted. With the threat of social services taking Charlotte and her siblings into the care, Lee and Lianne fraught and frantic search for a place to call home takes on a new urgency.
Across the country on the outskirts of Nottingham, 8 year old Chloe is losing the only family home she has ever known. A mix up with housing benefit pushed the family into rent arrears without their knowledge, and resulted in an eviction order. Baffling bureaucracy meant that Mum, Michelle thought that she had headed off the eviction by talking to the courts and getting Housing Benefit to admit their mistake. But then the family returned home to find the all locks changed.
Chloe and her family were given no option but to go to a bed and breakfast over 10 miles away from school family and friends with no way means of transport. Four of them were given two beds in a room with no cooking facilities other than a kettle. Chloe is 'scared I may never get a house again… and have to stay here forever'
During their time in the bed and breakfast Chloe's become friends with 15 year old Sarah. Placed miles away from her friends and school there is nothing for Sarah to do but stare out the window of her bare hotel room.
She was looking forward to her GCSE's but now that has all been ripped out from under her. She has no idea how long they will be there and there is nothing at all for her to do. 'My friends won't see me cause they think I'm a low life…, cause they've always lived in a house and not in a B&B'
As parents wait to hear on the decisions of council homelessness departments and struggle under great stress to keep their families together, children are left in the middle with familiarity, security and routine all stripped away from them.
Home is something we don't fully appreciate until it is taken away, its not until this happens that you understand just how important it really is, and how bleak and terrifying life can be with No Home.

Protection, Patronage, or Plunder? British Machinations and (B)uganda's Struggle for Independence
by Author(s): Apollo N. Makubuya
In the scramble for Africa, Britain took a lion's share of the continent. It occupied and controlled vast territories, including the Uganda Protectorate – which it ruled for 68 years. Early administrators in the region encountered the progressive kingdom of Buganda, which they incorporated into the British Empire. Under the guise of protection, indirect rule and patronage, Britain overran, plundered and disempowered the kingdom's traditional institutions. On liquidation of the Empire, Buganda was coaxed into a problematic political order largely dictated from London. Today, 56 years after independence, the kingdom struggles to rediscover itself within Uganda's fragile politics. Based on newly de-classified records, this book reconstructs a history of the machinations underpinning British imperial interests in (B)Uganda and the personalities who embodied colonial rule. It addresses Anglo-Uganda relations, demonstrating how Uganda's politics reflects its colonial past, and the forces shaping its future. It is a far-reaching examination of British rule in (B)uganda, questioning whether it was designed for protection, for patronage or for plunder.
Dancing Through History
In Search of the Stories That Define Canada
by Lori Henry
In Dancing Through History, Henry crosses Canada's vast physical and ethnic terrain to uncover how its various cultures have evolved through their dances. Her coast-to-coast journey takes her to Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, where she witnesses the seldom seen animist dances of the islands' First Nation people. In the Arctic, Henry partakes in Inuit drum dancing, kept alive by a new generation of Nunavut youth. And in CapeBreton, she uncovers the ancient "step dance" of the once culturally oppressed Gaels of Nova Scotia. During her travels, Henry discovers that dance helps to break down barriers and encourage cooperation between people with a history of injustice. Dance, she finds, can provide key insight into what people value most as a culture, which is often more similar than it seems. It is this kind of understanding that goes beyond our divisive histories and gives us compassion for one another. Unique to this book, Dancing Through History includes first person interviews with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (Canada's Aboriginal groups) talking about their traditions and the effect colonisation has had on them, all through the lens of dance. Their voices are given ample space to speak for themselves – what is revealed is a beautiful worldview and many lessons to be learned in order to have a healthy planet and tolerant people as we move into the future. Book Details: This is an adult non-fiction book of Canadian content. The target market is curious travellers and those interested in culture beyond the typical tourist traps. Sales have ranged from junior high schools to retired baby boomers. Interested publishers can make an offer directly on the profile page to buy available rights.
Empire, migration and identity in the British World
by Keith Povey
The essays in this volume have been written by leading experts in their respective fields and bring together established scholars with a new generation of migration and transnational historians. Their work weaves together the 'new' imperial and the 'new' migration histories, and is essential reading for scholars and students interested in the interplay of migration within and between the local, regional, imperial, and transnational arenas. Furthermore, these essays set an important analytical benchmark for more integrated and comparative analyses of the range of migratory processes - free and coerced - which together impacted on the dynamics of power, forms of cultural circulation and making of ethnicities across a British imperial world.
Heroic imperialists in Africa
The promotion of British and French colonial heroes, 1870–1939
by Berny Sèbe
From the height of 'New Imperialism' until the Second World War, three generations of heroes of the British and French empires in Africa were selected, manufactured and packaged for consumption by a metropolitan public eager to discover new horizons and to find comfort in the concept of a 'civilising mission'. This book looks at imperial heroism by examining the legends of a dozen major colonial figures on both sides of the Channel, revisiting the familiar stories of Livingstone, Gordon and Kitchener from a radically new angle, and throwing light on their French counterparts, often less famous in the Anglophone world but certainly equally fascinating.
Engines for empire
The Victorian army and its use of railways
by Edward M. Spiers
Engines for Empire examines the use of the railway by the British army from the 1830s to 1914, a period of domestic political strife and unprecedented imperial expansion. The book uses a wide array of sources and images to demonstrate how the Victorian army embraced this new technology, how it monitored foreign wars, and how it came to use the railway in both support and operational roles. The British army's innovation is also revealed, through its design and use of armoured trains, the restructuring of hospital trains, and in its capacity to build and repair railway track, bridges, and signals under field conditions. This volume provides insights on the role of railways in imperial development, as a focus of social interaction between adversaries, and as a means of projecting imperial power. It will make fascinating reading for students, academics and enthusiasts in military and imperial history, Victorian studies, railway history and colonial warfare.
Knowledge, mediation and empire
James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs
by Florence D'Souza
This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.
An Anglican British world
The Church of England and the expansion of the settler empire, c. 1790–1860
by Joseph Hardwick. Series edited by Andrew S. Thompson, John Mackenzie
This book looks at how that oft-maligned institution, the Anglican Church, coped with mass migration from Britain in the first half of the nineteenth century. The book details the great array of institutions, voluntary societies and inter-colonial networks that furnished the Church with the men and money that enabled it to sustain a common institutional structure and a common set of beliefs across a rapidly-expanding 'British world'. It also sheds light on how this institutional context contributed to the formation of colonial Churches with distinctive features and identities. One of the book's key aims is to show how the colonial Church should be of interest to more than just scholars and students of religious and Church history. The colonial Church was an institution that played a vital role in the formation of political publics and ethnic communities in a settler empire that was being remoulded by the advent of mass migration, democracy and the separation of Church and State.
Jacobite Scotland and French grand strategy, 1701–8
by Daniel Szechi
British imperialism in Cyprus, 1878–1915
The inconsequential possession
by Andrekos Varnava
This book explores the tensions underlying British imperialism in Cyprus. Much has been written about the British empire's construction outside Europe, yet there is little on the same themes in Britain's tiny empire in 'Europe'. This study follows Cyprus' progress from a perceived imperial asset to an expendable backwater by explaining how the Union Jack came to fly over the island and why after thirty-five years the British wanted it lowered. Cyprus' importance was always more imagined than real and was enmeshed within widely held cultural signifiers and myths. This book fills a gap in the existing literature on the early British period in Cyprus and challenges the received and monolithic view that British imperial policy was based primarily or exclusively on strategic-military considerations. The combination of archival research, cultural analysis and visual narrative that makes for an enjoyable read for academics and students of imperial, British and European history.
Negotiation Within Domination
New Spain's Indian Pueblos Confront the Spanish State
by Ethelia Ruiz Medrano (Editor) , Susan Kellogg (Editor)
This book examines the formation of colonial governance in New Spain through interactions between indigenous peoples and representatives of the Spanish Crown. The book highlights the complexity of native negotiation and mediation with colonial rule across time, culture, and place and how it shaped colonial political and legal structures from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Although indigenous communities reacted to Spanish presence with significant acts of resistance and rebellion, they also turned to negotiation to deal with conflicts and ameliorate the consequences of colonial rule. This affected not only the development of legal systems in New Spain and Mexico but also the survival and continuation of traditional cultures. Bringing together work by Mexican and North American historians, this collection is a crucially important and rare contribution to the field. This is a valuable resource for native peoples as they seek to redefine and revitalise their identities and assert their rights relating to language and religion, ownership of lands and natural resources, rights of self-determination and self-government, and protection of cultural and intellectual property. It will be of interest primarily to specialists in the field of colonial studies and historians and ethno-historians of New Spain.
I Remember It Well
Fifty Years of Colonial Service Personal Reminiscences
by David Le Breton
Life in the Colonial Service was varied, sometimes dangerous, often hilarious but never dull. Members of the Overseas Service Pensioners' Association served the Crown in far-flung territories both before and after World War II. Their reminiscences were published in whole or in part from time to time in the Association's biannual Journal, the Overseas Pensioner. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Overseas Service Pensioners' Association, David Le Breton has selected over seventy contributions spanning the life of the Association, and earlier. They write about their personal lives; from their first tour, travel, work and leisure activities. Anthony Kirk Greene writes in his foreword 'Without doubt such pen-portraits of events and personalities, some of them rendered all the more historically valuable when they focussed on the experiences of pre-war Colonial Service life, provide a positive contribution to a fuller understanding of what we did and how we lived and worked.' It is a book which will appeal to students of general history as well as those who spent time in the colonies or who now visit the modern countries they have since become.
A Story Of The Atlantic Slave Trade
by Manu Herbstein
Ama: A Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade by Manu Herbstein Winner of the 2002 Commonwealth Writers Prize for the Best First Book "I am a human being; I am a woman; I am a black woman; I am an African. Once I was free; then I was captured and became a slave; but inside me, I have never been a slave, inside me here and here, I am still a free woman." In the course of four hundred years some twelve million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic to serve European settlers and their descendants. Only the barest fragments of their stories have survived. Manu Herbstein's ambitious, meticulously researched and moving novel sets out to recreate one of these lives, following Ama, its eponymous heroine, from her home in the Sahel, through Kumase at the height of Asante power, and Elmina, centre of the Dutch slave trade, to a sugar plantation in Brazil. "This is story telling on a grand scale," writes Tony Simões da Silva. "In Ama, Herbstein creates a work of literature that celebrates the resilience of human beings while denouncing the inscrutable nature of their cruelty. By focusing on the brutalisation of Ama's body, and on the psychological scars of her experiences, Herbstein dramatises the collective trauma of slavery through the story of a single African woman. Ama echoes the views of writers, historians and philosophers of the African diaspora who have argued that the phenomenon of slavery is inextricable from the deepest foundations of contemporary western civilisation."
Ramseyer's Ghost
Ramseyer's Ghost is a stand-alone dystopian/utopian political novel set in West Africa in 2050. The global village has disintegrated. The Atlantic Ocean has become an American sea. West Africa has become a desert of failed states and anarchy, dotted with mines and oil rigs, stockaded and armed by U. S. corporations. The Americans dispatch expeditions of geologists and mining engineers into the dangerous interior of the Dark Continent to search for untapped resources. One such expedition has gone missing. Ekem "Crash" Ferguson, born in the U.S. in 2008 of African parents and abandoned to the care of foster parents, is a Captain in the Marine Corps. His career blocked and his marriage failing, he accepts an offer to proceed to Ghana on a one-man mission to find the missing experts. He suspects that his supervising officer, Bud Power, is having an affair with this wife. His arrival in Africa is inauspicious: in a shack amongst the coconut palms he comes across two human skeletons. A boy guides him to a coastal village. He tells the chief that he has come to Ghana to search for his natural parents. The chief welcomes him and delegates fisherman Kofi Kom to accompany him to Kumase, the Asante capital, 120 miles up-country. In Kumase, Crash goes to the stadium at dead of night to await the arrival of the three Thunderbirds, each carrying an armoured vehicle that will take the rescue party to the Fort. As the Thunderbirds touch down, they are blown up. Crash survives and is arrested. Anokye, the Asante king's first minister, interrogates Crash. He is put on trial and convicted but Anokye intervenes to save him from execution. As part of his sentence, Crash travels the country as a movie about the abortive invasion is screened in one village after another. He is impressed by what he perceives as a unique social experiment, led by Anokye, an attempt to build a decent, viable society in an economy barely above subsistence level. After a year, Crash has completed his sentence and is permitted to return to the U.S. Anokye, now retired, accompanies him to the coastal village at which Crash arrived. There Anokye reveals to him that they are brothers and that the skeletons Crash found on his arrival are those of their parents. After burying his parents' remains, Crash arranges a passage to New York in a passing oil tanker. As soon as he rings his doorbell, Millicent phones the Marines and Crash is arrested. He is charged with treason, tried and subsequently executed. Bud abandons Millicent. Years later, after he has graduated from college, Crash's son Fergus questions his mother about his late father. She refuses to talk. He gets a job as a cleaner in the Marine archives, "borrows" his father's file and publishes the contents in the public domain. When the authorities start looking for him, he is already on his way to Africa, where he hopes to find his Uncle Anokye.
The Boy who Spat in Sargrenti's Eye
On 13 June 1873 British forces bombarded Elmina town in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) and destroyed it. To this day it has not been rebuilt. Later that same year, using seaborne artillery, the British flattened ten coastal towns and villages – including Axim, Takoradi and Sekondi. On 6th February, 1874, after looting the Asantehene's palace in Kumase, British troops blew up the stone building and set the city on fire, razing it to the ground. 15-year old Kofi Gyan witnesses these events and records them in his diary. This novel, first published soon after the 140th anniversary of the sack of Kumase, tells his story. Several historical characters feature in the novel: the Asantehene Kofi Karikari, the war correspondents Henry Morton Stanley and G. A. Henty and the war artist of the Illustrated London News, Melton Prior, who employs Kofi as his assistant. The novel is illustrated with 70 black and white images, mainly from the Illustrated London News of 1873 and 1874 The image on the front cover is of a solid gold mask looted from the Asantehene's palace. It now resides in the vaults of the Wallace Collection in London. The Boy who Spat in Sargrenti's Eye is one of three winners of the 2013 Burt Award for African Literature in Ghana. The Burt Award for African Literature recognises excellence in young adult fiction from African countries. It supports the writing and publication of high quality, culturally relevant books and ensures their distribution to schools and libraries to help develop young people's literacy skills and foster their love of reading.

The Empress Emerald
by J.G. Harlond
Leo Kazan is an orphan (or so he believes) and a talented linguist. He is also a thief, attracted like a magpie to anything that glitters. Leo becomes the protege of a high-ranking member of the British Raj who turns him into a spy. From an early age. Leo is involved in international espionage and diamond smuggling which takes him from India to Britain and Russia. But the most meaningful time in his life is when he meets an innocent English girl, Davina Dymond, in London. As the drums of war reverberate around the world for a second time, Leo begins to understand his personal history and realises the importance of his Indian background, and the true meaning of Home Rule. Davina, trapped in war-torn Spain, turns to crime to survive. Both must unshackle themselves from those who seek to manipulate them before they can find true happiness - and each other.
The People's Right to the Novel
War Fiction in the Postcolony
by Eleni Coundouriotis
This study offers a literary history of the war novel in Africa. Coundouriotis argues that this genre, aimed more specifically at African readers than the continent's better-known bildungsroman tradition, nevertheless makes an important intervention in global understandings of human rights. The African war novel lies at the convergence of two sensibilities it encounters in European traditions: the naturalist aesthetic and the discourse of humanitarianism, whether in the form of sentimentalism or of human rights law. Both these sensibilities are present in culturally hybrid forms in the African war novel, reflecting its syncretism as a narrative practice engaged with the colonial and postcolonial history of the continent. The war novel, Coundouriotis argues, stakes claims to collective rights that contrast with the individualism of the bildungsroman tradition. The genre is a form of people's history that participates in a political struggle for the rights of the dispossessed.

Last fall, Twitter bought We Are Hunted, a "music discovery" startup that made a popular app for Spotify.
Apparently Spotify is paying attention: It just bought Tunigo, another music discovery startup with a popular Spotify app.
Spotify isn't announcing terms for the deal, but says that all of the Swedish company's 20 or so employees will come to work at Spotify's offices in Stockholm and New York.
The Tunigo Spotify app will keep running (there's also an iPhone app), but presumably Spotify's new hires will be put to work on Spotify's main service, which has 24 million users and six million paying subscribers. Tunigo had reportedly raised $3 million.
The We Are Hunted and Tunigo deals aren't exactly parallel, since Twitter used We Are Hunted to build a brand-new music app, and Spotify doesn't need one of those. But they do show that digital music companies are putting a renewed emphasis on helping people find stuff they like — which has the obvious benefit of keeping them on the service longer, and/or convincing them to pay for them.
Internet radio service Pandora has always been about discovery, but lots of other services have been content to assemble millions of tracks and ask listeners to poke through them on their own, or to ask their friends for recommendations.
Now lots of companies are starting to emphasize curation. That's the entire point of Jimmy Iovine's new Beats/Daisy music service, scheduled for launch later this year. And if Apple is able to hammer out deals with music labels — last I heard, they're still stuck haggling with Sony Music and Sony/ATV, its related-but-separate publishing company — it will launch an iRadio service that combines elements of both Pandora and on-demand services.
If you have a Spotify subscription and haven't played with Tunigo, by the way, it's worth checking out: Like Web radio service Songza, it is focused on mood- and theme-based playlists, and it's pretty good.

Home BMW X5 News
2022 BMW X5 Li Has 5.11 Inches Longer Wheelbase And Is Only For China
It will be produced in the People's Republic.
Mar 01, 2022 at 3:49am ET
By: Angel Sergeev
BMW is currently working on a refreshed version of the X5 for the international markets and it will likely arrive towards the second half of the year. For China, however, there's already a new X5 and it takes the form of a long-wheelbase model that will be built and sold exclusively in the People's Republic.
Visually, the difference between the X5 Li and the standard X5 is not that big. This is the same luxury SUV BMW has been selling for years but it is now 5.11 inches (130 millimeters) longer than the model you'll find at the brand's US dealerships. All of the extra length goes to enhance the rear passenger legroom and seating comfort. This is also reflected in the longer rear doors, which now provide easier access to the second row of seats.
Gallery: 2022 BMW X5 Li
BMW explains it has tailored the new X5 Li with the needs of the local customers in mind. The standard equipment includes goodies such as specially-designed comfort seats and four degrees of extra backrest tilt for the rear seats and a panoramic glass sunroof. On the outside, the M Aerodynamics package is standard and there's a wide choice of available wheel designs.
Even more importantly, depending on the specification, a two-axle air suspension comes as part of the standard equipment or as an optional extra. The Bavarian manufacturer promises the automatic self-leveling suspension delivers "the perfect balance between sportiness and comfort."
BMW Working On A Facelift For The X5:

2023 BMW X5 M Facelift Spied With Revised Headlights, Taillights
The X5 Li will be offered in X5 xDrive30Li and X5 xDrive40Li trims, powered by four-cylinder and six-cylinder twin-turbo gas engines, respectively. An eight-speed automatic gearbox is standard, and so is BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive.
The long-wheelbase X5 will be produced at the BMW Brilliance Automotive Dadong plant in Shenyang and will be sold exclusively in the country. For the United States and the rest of the world, the luxury German SUV will continue to be assembled in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

"A girl should be two things: who and what she wants."
The stories of women that inspire me everyday
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I would wear tutu's and perform in front of hundreds of people and get flowers from Prince Charming after the show. I would epitomise everything society said a girl should be. Thinking of that now makes me sad, but unfortunately I didn't know better. Nobody ever showed me a 'girly girl' could be a CEO, a Lead Developer, a Politician, an Engineer. And no one ever told me that being clever and motivated was actually really damn cool. Growing up, many of the women in my life were house wives, and a woman with a successful career was pretty much unheard of to me. At all girls school, we were never encouraged to think about our careers. At my school, IT, Maths, Physics and Sports were for 'boys', and Home Economics was compulsory (Seriously? How does perfecting an apple crumble equip me well for the future?).
The oppression I felt in certain working environments as I entered the adult word gave me a new lease of enthusiasm to prove myself in the areas I was not only underestimated in, but underestimated myself in: intelligence, ambition and tenacity. I had grown accustomed to not speaking up for fear of ridicule. I had grown accustomed to being judged for my outward appearance and not my mind. Now, at 24, I've led the UX design of an app released to tens of thousands across the globe, with a 4.7 rating on Google play. Had you told me this at 16, I quite literally wouldn't have believed I could do that (particularly given I failed IT in school…sshh).
Here I am working in an industry dominated by men, yet never have I ever felt more empowered. I'm surrounded by passionate and bold women that are incredibly talented, have each others' backs and encourage growth. I'm also surrounded by incredibly talented and supportive men that want to lift women up in an industry that remains male dominated. And I'm so lucky for this. I finally have those female role models now, and this is not a story about oppression. This is a story about perseverance, passion and success.
Devon Young — Head of the Digital Studio
"Oh my god I was such a dork. I was never the smartest person, I didn't care, I hated studying, I hated school but I loved anything to do with software. I was President of Computer Club in high school and always just always gravitated towards technology. We had the first mobile phone in our town growing up and I remember it was in a big bag. My dad was very techie so we always had the newest technology. Growing up I never felt, or was told that computers for just for boys. It's the one thing that anonymises our sexuality. You can be anyone you want. There is no gender within computers."
How do you feel as a woman in the IT industry?
"All the time I'm the only woman in the room, it's always been like that. You get used to it, how to hold your own, you have to learn how to be resilient and fight your corner."
How do you think women can help each other in the workplace?
"At some point we will want to stop having a conversation about the differences between men and women in the workplace but I know we aren't just there yet. It would be great if we didn't need to have an International Women's Day. I really don't want to have special moments dedicated to me. I know that we're in a very privileged time because of the hard work that's been done by courageous women before us, but I have a daughter now so I want things to be even easier for her. I want to be able to share experiences and talk about some of the different types of struggles that we've had."
How do you feel being a woman in a male dominated industry?
"I think Avanade have been amazingly supportive of me and my career. They have taken care of me through having a baby and having had cancer. A couple years ago I was able to launch my own team, and they give me the tools and training I need to constantly be at my best. I love how they fully empower their employees to make changes for the better. They've been completely amazing all along the way."
Any advice to young girls thinking about their future?
"My daughter is four years old and she knows what the word 'persevere' means. I think we could all put that into practice a bit more."
Kitty Wong — Visual Designer
What were you like as a young girl?
"Tomboy. Still a tomboy. When I have to dress up for social events I use the term 'girling', and it's when I have to think about what society would consider to accept as a female. Whether that is yes I need to brush my hair, or yes I need to put make up on."
Did you have any female role models? If so, who?
"I don't think I had any role models at a young age. During University I saw certain friends finding their thing. I have a few friends that work for big global companies, and seeing them talk about their passions was very inspiring. Especially because most of my female friends are in tech. Successful and passionate women are very inspiring."
Did you find any obstacles in getting to where you are now?
"Being from an ethnic minority and a woman, and due to amazing genes from my parents, I know I look really young. I don't tend to disclose my age because there is a fear of agism as well. So, because I look quite young, am asian and I'm female I sometimes think I'm judged. Women are also viewed as quite submissive. It' s bossy instead of taking charge."
What advice would you give to young girls thinking about their future?
"Be bold. Just because society and perhaps your friends or family think that you should be someone that you're not — take charge. Be the change and difference that you want to see in the world. There's no harm in finding other people on the internet to support that. There's always someone else in a similar situation. Collaborate lots and help each other."
Megan Sibbald — Manager: Business and Tech Integration
"My career choices have always been driven by my mother, who is my biggest role model. She has always told me anything is possible and I can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it. Given she has been in the IT space for my whole life, it was always something I saw as being a great career. She never highlighted any gender barriers, so I thought I could do anything! It isn't until years later, having had more adult conversation, that I now know the many challenges she had to face during her career in such a male dominated space — I am glad she kept this from me in a way as it may have altered my choices down the line."
How did you get to where you are now?
"Looking back at my other influences, I went to an all-girls school and I don't think they spent much time focussing on careers and how we can get to where we want to be or how we can be successful outside of education. School primarily focussed on getting us into university and making sure our grades were good. They didn't talk about empowering women and having women leaders as much as they could have. I think it is important in this day and age for schools to rethink the curriculum, focusing on topics that enable children for their future life as not everyone is going to be a scientist or lawyer — How do I get to be a Richard Branson? This type of change may have helped guide my career choices, but I certainly didn't know what I wanted to do from school"
How do you feel being a female in a male dominated industry?
"I have so many male supporters, especially in Avanade. People rooting for me. Men that are hoping I develop, men that help me develop. All I can say is that at Avanade UK specifically, I do feel that we have a lot of allies. Sexism is not a massive part of my career at all"
"I think the obvious one for me is that girls shouldn't think of themselves as girls, they should just think of themselves as professionals. Be open and talk. If you're feeling that someone is doing something that is not right, speak out. To help each other out…really build relationships with other women, get mentors, get coaches, speak to women out there that you respect. But also, be allies with men. Talk to men about how you are feeling."
Tuesday DeMairt — Visual Design Lead
Have you faced any obstacles as a woman in getting to where you are now?
"I never felt oppressed growing up, even though I didn't necessarily have female role models. Growing up in Asia, it's not common to have 'men should be the boss'. A lot of my bosses were female, even as an architect. I wasn't really aware of the gender disparity. I think I was quite lucky to be surrounded with broad-minded, strong men and women in my life"
"I was always a woman who wanted to work. When the recession came in Ireland it was a really big blow and I didn't really know what to do. There was no demand for architects and that's all I know at that time. I have to reinvent myself so I've decided to further my studies, switched and start my career in tech. I have to start from scratch and put away what I knew before. I was humbled by the experience, it was a huge awakening for me, I've interned and freelance to expand my portfolio until I got a full-time as a UI Designer. Even after what happened, there's a new future for me. In 2015, I started again when I moved to London, I worked harder, made connections and persevered and accepted a job in Avanade"
Where do you think you got that perseverance and motivation from?
"I think it's about doing what I love every day. It sounds cliche but that's really how I feel. Also, I think, it has something to do about understanding myself better. With everything I've done, I've realised that it's my curiosity in others led me to grow into who I am today. I am a lifelong learner and I am always seeking inspiration. I always find something interesting in people."
What's your advice to girls growing up?
"Live with total integrity. Be transparent, honest, and authentic. Be yourself. Do not let any label — mother, daughter, sister, wife, or girlfriend — limit or define you. Above all else, you are in charge of your body and your sexuality. Use them wisely as you see fit. Invest in your mind and learn what you can."
Emma Holliday — Experience Technologist
How did you make the decision to go into Computer Science?
"What I realised and what was getting me down about Physics was that, until you've done loads of Physics, you're just doing what other people have done before. That's a lot of what you do for quite a long time, the same experiments, the same research etc.. Computer Science felt a bit more like you could apply it, and you can do stuff with it. As a person I get a lot back from creating something which was something I didn't see happening in Physics. I thought it would be much more fulfilling to be designing, creating and building things."
Studying Computer Science at University, did you ever feel conscious of being a girl?
"There was one time when we were all sat around the table having lunch, talking about applying for summer jobs. We were discussing applications and this guy says 'I've applied to 30 places and no one has replied or given me an offer'. He also told us how he forgot to change the name of the company in one of his emails. I said 'I've only applied to 3 but I've had 2 offers' and they immediately told me 'it's because you're a girl'. At the time I accepted it, thinking they were probably right but when I had time to reflect I realised that I had put my heart into those applications — I certainly wasn't emailing a company using the wrong name! There's so many more things than my gender that play a part in this so to put it down to that ignores my hard work and is incredibly hurtful. Thankfully, that was the only time in three years that I specifically felt discriminated against."
How have you found it since leaving Uni and working at Avanade?
"I think Avanade deal with gender diversity really well. There's a very careful line to draw between encouraging diversity organically versus hiring to get numbers up. I want to feel like I was hired on my own merits — not that I was favoured or chosen to make someone's metric. I sometimes worry that companies can run the wrong line of that. For ages I felt like I didn't deserve my place at Cambridge because people made it seem like I was only accepted because I was a girl. It was the most crushing feeling and made me doubt myself for a long time. I would hate to feel that about my job too. However, a lot of things at Avanade prove their commitment is genuine. We did a '15 for 15' scholarship where we gave 15 young women a scholarship to study Computer Science as part of celebrating Avanade's 15th birthday. That's an amazing thing and incredibly meaningful — I'm a buddy for one of the scholars and without it, she wouldn't have been able to study at UCL. It's encouraging women to do Computer Science in a more general sense, not just for Avanade's benefit. It's not just diversity, it's actually trying to make the world a better place."
"Be more supportive. Even women can turn against other women who are bold and powerful, but we need to support and celebrate them rather than just thinking they are "bossy" or "bitchy". Let's view them in a more admirable way as I think it's a really great trait."
Julie Evans — Global talent community lead: Business and Technology Integration
"I've not decided yet. I have always just wanted to love what I do…and I do!"
Growing up, who inspired you?
"I think it would have to be my grandmother. She wasn't a typical grandmother, she was very forceful and outspoken. She always taught me not to follow the crowd, to forge my own way, to not settle down and have kids, but to go live my life first. She went against the grain and taught me how to challenge the 'norm' along the way"
"I have mostly just been offered the right roles at the right times. I've never been afraid to stand up and offer my opinion. But I also liked to be challenged. How I thought 5 years ago is different to how I thought 10 years ago. We all learn and adapt and change our outlook and opinions as we grow. To stay the same, with the same views and opinions would be such a waste!"
"It honestly doesn't affect me! I work with some very capable and strong leaders who are women and the gender issue hasn't come up. I do think that to get more women into IT and into Leadership roles we need to teach them from a young age that you need to stand up and be counted. Have a plan, be ambitious and go out and wow the world."
How do you think we can teach this?
"Women will typically 'over row the boat', and are less vocal about their skills. We need to teach confidence, how to be authentic, how to silence that inner critic, that 'imposter syndrome'. Your career is yours for the taking, its not a gift from anyone."
"Be nice! Pass on what you have learnt. Encourage each other. Don't stand in judgement of each other. Understand that everyone has their own story and journey to where they are now. Be understanding and supportive. Be kind! Be passionate about what you do."
What advice would you give to young girls thinking about their futures?
"If you see a glass ceiling where you are, smash through it or go around it."

Q: How to reference a specific worksheet I am trying to loop through all the files in a parent folder and hide a particular tab.  I get an error and can't seem to figure out how to resolve it.
I get an error on this line:
var sheet = file.getSheetByName("ACCESS")
That states
function hidetab() {
  var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var folder=DriveApp.getFolderById('1yCHPXGrgXtj7VP9mCCGDRTJdYAfODBZH');
  subfolders = folder.getFolders()
  while(subfolders.hasNext()){
  var fold = subfolders.next()
  var files=fold.getFilesByType(MimeType.GOOGLE_SHEETS);
     while(files.hasNext()){
        var file=files.next();
        var sheet = file.getSheetByName("ACCESS")

         sheet.hidesheet();
        //Logger.log(file)
    };

  };
};

The error I get is that Cannot find function getSheetByName in object

A: *

*You want to find all Spreadsheet in the specific folder.

*You want to hide a sheet, which has the sheet name of ACCESS, from the found Spreadsheet.

*You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.

If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?
Modification points:

*

*files.next() returns the object of file. This is not the object as the Spreadsheet.

*

*So please use SpreadsheetApp.open(file).

*Please modify hidesheet() to hideSheet().

Modified script:
When your script is modified, please modify as follows.

From:

var sheet = file.getSheetByName("ACCESS")
sheet.hidesheet();

To:

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(file).getSheetByName("ACCESS");
if (sheet) sheet.hideSheet();

References:

If I misunderstood your question and this was not the direction you want, I apologize.

44 Chapter 8
Morgan had never run so fast in his life.
He could feel the adrenaline, the heat, his heart pumping wildly as his legs began to move so fast he could barely feel them anymore…
There was another scream; he ran faster.
He was vaguely aware of Detective Walker falling behind him, but he wasn't going to wait for the older detective. He had to find Reid; he had to stop him.
There was a third scream; much longer and drawn out this time. It was louder, too; he was getting closer. Morgan turned a corner and ran down an alley.
Scream; Morgan followed it, gasping for air; he turned.
He saw them.
Morgan barely recognized Reid; he had blood-shaped handprints all over his face, and his matted hair hung down into his eyes. His clothes were torn and disheveled; his eyes were huge, wild, terrified; like those of a caged animal. He was clutching a sixteen or seventeen year old girl, holding a knife to her throat; she had her eyes closed and continued screaming. Reid gripped her tightly, but Morgan could see his hand was shaking.
Morgan stopped running; he advanced slowly, his hands up, never drawing his gun.
"Reid," Morgan called softly, hoping that the boy would recognize his voice.
Reid's eyes darted all around, before finally resting on him. "Are they coming?" he demanded.
Morgan swallowed. "I'm here," he said. "Nobody needs to get hurt."
"You aren't!" he exclaimed, his voice quavering, "Stop lying!"
"Nobody's lying to you, Reid," Morgan said, trying to keep his voice calm. He could hear Walker finally catching up to him, and motioned for him to stay back.
"Tell them that it isn't funny," Reid growled, his grip on the knife tightening. The girl let out a terrified sob.
"Reid, it's Morgan, I'm here," he said, slowly inching closer to the pair of them. "Whatever this is, we can work it out. But first, you have to let the girl go."
"They need to be punished," he choked. "They have to see that it isn't funny."
Morgan was standing right in front of them now. "I know," he said, "You're right. It isn't funny."
"I need to talk to them," Reid asserted. "If I can't talk to them, I'll kill it." He paused, then smiled. "I know they don't like that. It's not how I'm supposed to behave."
The girl sobbed again, looking up at Morgan with wide, desperate eyes.
"Let her go, Reid," Morgan said quietly.
"I NEED TO TALK TO THEM!" Reid shrieked, his voice so distorted by fury that it was almost inhuman.
Morgan swallowed. "Who are 'they?'" he asked patronizingly.
This seemed to make Reid even angrier. "You know who they are!" He hissed, each word twisted with hate and desperation. His eyes flickered around madly. "Show yourselves, you cowards, you…" his voice constricted and broke off.
"You…you're right, Reid," Morgan began, trying desperately to end this peacefully. "I do know who they are. But that girl doesn't. If you come with me, I can show them to you."
Reid eyed him suspiciously. Then he laughed; it was a cold, humorless laugh that Morgan had never heard from him in his life. "You're just an illusion," he spat. "You're not them. You're an it. Tell them I won't talk to an it."
Morgan was so confused.
"I'll kill it," Reid hissed, "I'll kill it, I will, unless they talk to me. They have to…make it go away." He whispered the last part, and his eyes fell to the ground. They stood in silence for a moment; the only sound was the girl's choked sobbing.
Morgan's microphone crackled to life; he heard Walker's voice in his ear. "I have a shot, Agent Morgan."
"Don't take it," Morgan hissed back. He didn't care if he was being unprofessional; he knew he could talk Reid out of this. The kid just needed to listen.
"It's not her that's been lying to you," Morgan began suddenly. "Killing her won't stop them."
Reid shook his head desperately. "It's the only way," he said. "They don't like it when I kill the distractions."
"That's right," Morgan said quickly, "They don't like it. And they'll be much less likely to talk to you if you make them angry."
Reid bit his lip; for the first time, it seemed like he was thinking about what Morgan was saying. "It'll go on forever," he murmured.
"That's right," Morgan said.
"I just want them to stop it," Reid whispered, "I just…I just want them to see that it isn't funny, and I want them to stop it."
"Of course you do," Morgan said soothingly.
Reid hesitated; Morgan held his breath for a moment that seemed like forever.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Reid lowered the knife. "I won't kill it," he whispered.
Morgan let out a long sigh of relief. "Put the knife on the ground, Reid," he instructed.
But Reid didn't seem to be listening to him. He was looking around. "Where are they?" he asked. "It's still here."
"Put the knife down, Reid."
He raised his voice. "It's still here!"
"Reid, put the knife down."
"It's still here! You're lying! It's still here!" He dropped his hands to his sides, his face contorting with rage. Morgan dove forward, pulling the girl away from Reid and practically flinging her into the wall.
Reid froze for a fraction of a second, the knife dangling from his hand. He turned his gaze at Morgan.
Then he lunged.
Morgan put his hands out, trying to wrestle the knife from Reid; but terror made the boy stronger, and Morgan felt the knife barely graze his shoulder; Morgan struggled back; Reid was strong, but Morgan was stronger; he could restrain him, he could handle him, everything was going to be alright…
That was when he heard a shot.
Morgan froze in shock as the young man stopped fighting and fell into his arms, limp. Morgan collapsed to the ground, desperately trying to hold his friend's head up.
Blood was running from Reid's mouth; his eyes were dazed, but focused slightly on Morgan's face.
"I'm here, Reid," Morgan gasped, "I'm here, and you're fine, you're going to be fine."
"You're here?" Reid whispered. It sounded like a question.
"I'm here," Morgan repeated, "I'm here, and you're here, too, and we're going to go to the hospital, and you're going to be-"
"Shh," Reid interrupted, his voice barely audible. His lips moved for several moments before he could finally form words. "They're coming," he choked.
His eyes closed. His head fell back.
"Reid?" Morgan whispered. There was no response. He could hear ambulances in the distance; or was it police sirens? Did it make a difference?
He sat there for what seemed like an eternity, calling his friend's name. He could feel a pair of arms trying to lift him away from Reid; he struggled, refusing to let go.
Walker's voice sounded like it was coming from the end of a long tunnel. "I had to do it, Agent Morgan."
Morgan shook his head, still not relinquishing his grip on his friend.
"I'm sorry, Agent Morgan, he could have killed you." He tuned out Walker's voice, closing his eyes, clutching the frail body to his chest. He had let Reid down. He could feel bitter, angry tears running down his face against his will.
"Morgan." This was a different voice now; a familiar one. "Morgan, you have to let go of him."
Hotch.
"He just wanted it to go away," Morgan mumbled.
"I know," Hotch said solemnly. There was a pause; Morgan could feel the presence of others, now. They were watching him.
"Morgan," Hotch said, "You have to let him go." There was another pause. "Nothing can hurt him anymore," Hotch said. His voice was softer, but still firm.
Morgan forced his arms to release their hold; he could hear people murmuring around him, but it was all strange and disconnected. He stumbled backwards, and he could feel his boss supporting him.
"He needs an ambulance," Morgan muttered, "I should go with him."
Hotch was silent; he forced Morgan to turn away. "No," Hotch whispered. "We're going to take a walk. Alright?"
They walked for some time. There was silence; the silence was deafening, because each stroke of silence was a reminder of its cause.
"I have to go," Morgan said, "I just…"
"Morgan?" Hotch inquired, frowning. "It's alright."
Morgan shook his head. "No," he said firmly. "It isn't. I need to…be alone."
Hotch stopped walking, understanding. Morgan continued. He wasn't even sure where he was going until he arrived.
Reid's apartment.
He pushed the door open; someone had left it unlocked.
Probably Hotch.
It was empty. Nobody was concerned with Reid, anymore.
He walked into the living room, glancing at the books lying in piles on the floor. He wondered what would happen to them.
Suddenly, Morgan was overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea; he ran into the bathroom and keeled over the Reid's sink, taking deep, calming breaths. He felt panic trapped deep inside him, threatening to escape; but the most frightening feeling of all was the shock; the disbelief; the numbness.
He looked up at the mirror; he needed to see himself, as if somehow the expression of pain on his face would make the numbness go away. But he couldn't see his reflection; it was obscured by the words that had been etched into the mirror's surface.
*The end! I hope you liked it. Or if you were extremely disturbed by it, I hope you found it interesting. Anyways, review please! As always, positive and negative reviews are both very much appreciated.*

BMX-ers of the future to benefit from £10,000 track facelift
The club funded the works out of its own pocket
Claire Harrison
The new-look Nuneaton BMX Club track
Proud BMX-ers of the future now have an even better track to hone their skills on after a £10,000 facelift.
The Nuneaton BMX Club virtually paid every penny of the £10,000 to refurbish the track off Greenmoor Road.
Sarah Albrighton, one of the directors of the successful club which competes across the country, explained why they needed to make the changes.
"We needed the track changes to accommodate the higher level of rider our coaching programme is producing," she said,
"The requirement for riders' skills levels change all the time and they need to be able to adapt their skills and abilities to meet the demands of national and international tracks."
The club is celebrating the new-look track - which will hopefully help them to achieve even more during the race season. (Image: Nuneaton BMX Club)
Technical elements have changed to make it more challenging in areas and, with the help of Phil Charnley from Dirtworks, a track builder based in the north, they have changed all four straights.
Club volunteers, in particular Keyte Reynolds, spent two weeks alongside Dirtworks in January in the snow and ice trying to get all the changes made in the allocated time.
"We'd like to thank all the volunteers, local business 'NRS Waste Management' in Meriden for helping us out with the materials we needed to reshape the jumps, and the council for their ongoing support," she said.
Fund-raising gig
Now, in a bid to re-coup some of the cash spent by the club, a fund-raising event is being held this Saturday, March 2, at the Queens Hall, based above The Crew on Queens Road.
It has been organised by Gary Murphy, member of the club and dad to two of the riders, and he has brought together a host of local band to headline the event.
"As the project we completed was almost entirely self- funded by the club, we're holding fundraisers throughout the year to try and recoup some of the cost and Gary offered to organise one," said Sarah.
"He's massively into local music and loves to get involved so it's a perfect evening for him, and the rest of us, to celebrate the opening of 'the new track'."
Sons of Rest, a band from Coventry, Nuneaton band Shackleford, another Nuneaton band Just for Now and Mr Frizz, a DJ, will appear on the night.
Tickets are priced at £4 and are available on the door.
Open track event
Weather permitting, there will be an open day from 12 noon on Saturday to show off the new track.
This will incorporate a 'time trial' event where people join in and test their speed on the new track and test themselves against some of the club's highest ranking riders.
It is £2 to join in and all riders must wear helmets, gloves, long sleeves and full length trousers as a minimum.
"We have helmets we can lend people if they don't have them but bikes must not have stunt pegs or a front brake for safety purposes, though we can lend people bikes too, with a limited availability," she added,
More information can be found on the 'Nuneaton BMX Club' page on Facebook.

Capitals' Tom Wilson avoids suspension for hit on Brian Dumoulin
By Sean LeahyApr 30, 2018, 11:53 AM EDT
Tom Wilson will not be punished for his hit on Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin during the Washington Capitals' 4-1 victory in Game 2.
The hit occurred in the second period when Dumoulin got sandwiched between Wilson and Alex Ovechkin. After being tended to on the ice, Dumoulin left the game and did not return. Wilson was not penalized.
After reviewing the hit, the NHL Department of Player Safety determined that the play did not warrant a fine or suspension.
Here is their reasoning via Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com:
"[T]he NHL Department of Player Safety determined that Wilson's contact with Dumoulin was not considered an illegal check to the head. It felt that contact with the head was unavoidable on the play, and Dumoulin bracing himself for the Ovechkin hit materially changed the position of his head prior to Wilson making contact with him."
The NHL's Rule 48 states that when determining whether a check to the head is illegal, the body position of the player being hit is taken into consideration, especially if that player moves their body or head "immediately prior to or simultaneously with the hit in a way that significantly contributed to the head contact." The DoPS also felt that Wilson's positioning behind Dumoulin would not have allowed him to target the head.
[NBC's Stanley Cup Playoff Hub]
"I'm at no point trying to target the head at all," Wilson said afterward via the Washington Post. "Unfortunately there's a collision there. You know what, I've watched it briefly, and I don't realize what I can really do any different. At the last second, I see [Ovechkin] coming in and you can see me bracing, as well, and I end up getting kind of taken out as well."
As you might imagine, the Penguins, who were already playing without Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin because of injury, were not happy with the play.
"Yeah I saw it, it looked like it was a high hit, but they didn't see it that way," Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan told NBC's Pierre McGuire during the game.
"We all know who he is and what he does on the ice, so I don't really have a comment," said Penguins defenseman Kris Letang via the Tribune-Review. "We expect that from him."
Dumoulin, who went through concussion protocol, participated in practice on Monday and will be a game-time decision for Game 3 (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN), according to Sullivan.
"I knew Wilson was coming from behind. I saw Ovi come and braced for Ovechkin," Dumoulin said. "I wasn't ready for Wilson at all. I got caught in that."

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Prime Minister Andrew Holness says that his overall assessment of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) led administration is that it has performed well.
The prime minister who is making his contribution to the 2019/2020 Budget Debate at Gordon House, added that he does not need the Opposition to tell him that there are challenges as he will be the first to admit that there is room for improvement.
"The fact is that even with the challenges, which we acknowledge, there has never been a period in the history of Jamaica where the affairs of the country have been so managed that we can report four consecutive budgets which were either revenue neutral no new taxes or a reduction of taxes," Holness said.
"Even more, I cannot recall a budget where there was a net give back of taxes to this magnitude," Holness said referring to the 14-billion tax giveback that was announced by Minister Finance and Public Service Dr Nigel Clarke during his contribution on March 7.
Holness' presentation follows that Opposition Leader Dr Peter Phillips who made his contribution last Thursday.
Phillips during his presentation fired a fresh salvo of criticism at the Government on a range of issues including corruption, inequality, and the performance of the economy as he outlined the People's National Party's (PNP) proposals for inclusive growth.
Clarke will close the debate tomorrow.

Intel to Shutter Motherboard Business, Reallocate Resources
Intel today announced that it will shutter its long-standing retail desktop motherboard business after the imminent rollout of 4th generation Intel Core processors (aka Haswell).
By Joel Santo Domingo
https://www.pcmag.com/news/intel-to-shutter-motherboard-business-reallocate-resources
Those resources will be reallocated to other forward-looking product teams like the one that recently developed Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) and other groups working on ultrabooks and all-in-one desktops.
Intel's Desktop Motherboard group is responsible for bringing retail-level motherboards and motherboard kits to the market, for use by do-it-yourselfers as well as boutique PC system builders. While desktop motherboards for the end user have been an Intel staple for the past 20 years, other motherboard manufacturers like MSI, Asus, Sapphire, ASRock, and Gigabyte offer many more choices in interfaces, form factors, and added features.
Intel (the corporation) will still produce the motherboard chipsets that are found on these motherboards, but the end consumer will no longer be able to buy an Intel-branded motherboard after the Haswell board life cycle ends in 18 months to two years. Warranty and driver support for upcoming motherboards will continue for their respective warranty periods. That said, the Intel desktop motherboards supporting Haswell evidently will be the last batch of retail-level desktop motherboards from the company.
Intel won't be shutting out the DIY PC guy entirely: you'll still be able to buy NUC kits and standalone NUC boards for your own projects. The product lines that are "going away" include all ATX motherboards, including Mini-ATX and Micro ATX models.
Product lines that will benefit from the shifting of resources include the FFRD (Form Factor Reference Design) group, the folks responsible for ultrabooks and new crops of all-in-one desktops. Intel's CPU lines will continue, including LGA 2011, LGA 1155/1150, and BGA for entry-level platforms.
"Intel's roadmap includes 227 desktop [CPU] SKUs at 34 different price points, offering desktop solutions for a wide range of customers" said Intel spokesman Dan Snyder.
What does this mean in the long term? Well, if you're a DIY PC guy, system builder, or IT pro that builds desktops for your business with Intel branded motherboards, you'll need to find another motherboard supplier, of which there are legion. If you're a desktop PC buyer, carry on as usual: this change won't affect you all that much, if at all.
