Auditor General (AG) Deodat Sharma on Monday faced criticism from several members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), who accused his office of neglecting to take several roles and responsibilities into consideration when carrying out the audit of the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security.
Of the 10 paragraphs from the 2010 Auditor General's Report brought before the PAC for scrutiny, each and every one focused on the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) and the handling of Old Age Pension Payments.
PPP/C MP and former Human Services Minister Bibi Shadick and PPP/C MP Gail Teixeira expressed their disappointment at the report, saying that they believe that many of the ministry's other important aspects, including child protection, the night shelter and its uniform voucher programme, had not been examined.
In response, Sharma stated that the areas chosen were scrutinised because his office realised it to be one of the more problematic operations and due to the fact that a significant amount of funds were involved.
Nevertheless, Teixeira warned that such reporting may lead to a misrepresentation of the actual state of things in the ministry, causing one to speculate that all else is fine.
Among the discrepancies reported on was the overpayment of deductions totaling $2.93M in relation to salaries to its various agencies during the years 2005-2008. In its response to the observations, the ministry reported that the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) has returned to the ministry the sum of $255,822, being overpayment for deductions for 2007, and that efforts are ongoing to recover the remainder of the money . When asked why the remainder of the amount had not been collected, the ministry explained that calls made to the NIS proved futile, since their staff kept saying that the issue would be resolved soon.
APNU MP Keith Scott said that the excuse given was unacceptable and that he was sure that more rigorous efforts would lead to the settling of the issue.
Shadick, however, stated that NIS has a long history of problems as it relates to the accessing of records, and that this might be the source of the delay in recovery. She rejected speculation that its inability to make repayments was as a result of a lack of funds, but stated that NIS usually finds itself unable to trace the contributions that would have been made and as such may have difficulty justifying repayments.
She said that the repayment made for 2007 is testament to the fact that the agency has the necessary funds.
The AG also highlighted the fact that the ministry failed to prepare bank reconciliation statements for the entire year of 2010 for bank account numbers 3211-Poverty Imprest, 3167-Ministry Imprest and 3191-Old Age Pension Imprest. When asked the reason for the deficiency, Permanent Secretary for the ministry Lorene Baird stated that when she took office in December of 2011, she realised that the department charged with this responsibility, as well as several others, were severely understaffed. This, she said, was compounded by a lack of trained employees. She said that since then, however, through hard work and a reshuffling of her Accounts Department's priorities, they have been able to complete reconciliation statements on the accounts for up to September 2012, and she opined that the remainder would be completed shortly.
Other discrepancies involved the fact that the contract for the printing of pension coupons was deficient, since the clauses such as the duration of contract; remedies for breach of contract, ownership and control of printing software, minimum security standards required at the time of printing facility and responsibility for the disposal of spoilt coupons were not included. In its responses to the observations, the ministry stated that the recommendations had been noted, and that the contract for the printing of 2013 coupons would include the recommendations.
The AG's 2010 report also revealed that the ministry did not design, control nor did it have ownership of the software used to print pension books, but that the supplier designed and owned the software. The AG thus recommended that some sort of mechanism be put in place to verify the validity of each book. The ministry, however, referred to the recommendation as impractical, considering the amount of books that would have to be scrutinised.
Agreeing with the ministry, Shadick instead suggested that a system be put in place where a random number of the books be scrutinised, in random order, on a random date, as opposed to scrutinising every solitary one of them. The recommendation was welcomed by Baird, who said that the ministry would explore the possibility.
The AG's office also criticised the ministry for not reconciling amounts paid by the GPOC though reimbursements were made which resulted in the ministry not being able to determine the amounts owed to or by the GPOC. The ministry stated that it has approached this issue very seriously, and has even employed a specialist in accounting to deal with it specifically. Aside from this effort, the ministry stated that it is currently working with the Ministry of Finance to reconcile the payments made to the GPOC.

The Tip of the Spear
by Yinon Ahiman
Israel Hayom Op-Ed – 25/8/2016
A quick glance at the Ministry of Education's list of high schools with high values which excelled in social and educational achievements quickly reveals a categorization process which was blind to geographical, sectorial or religious parameters. It appears that in compiling the list, the Ministry of Education was able to do something we, as a society, have difficulty doing: to look above the labels which are so deeply embedded in our individual and collective consciousness. Jews and Arabs, from the periphery and from urban hubs, religious and secular, "settlers" and residents of central Israel – each group is represented on this list in which ethics, hard work and concrete results were the only considerations – as is appropriate; as is just.
However, with the work of the selection committee over and the list's publication, an analysis of the data can help us shatter a number of misconceptions and maybe even bridge between some of the ever-widening gaps in Israeli society. One of the statistics worth examining is the high measure of religious schools represented on the list, nearly a quarter.
For months, many within the National Religious community have felt under attack, as our dedication and values have been cast in doubt. With one PR disaster following another public folly, members of the religious Zionist camp have found themselves apologizing for statements, opinions and misdeeds which, although spoken or carried out by individual members, were attributed by mainstream Israel to the entire National Religious sector at large.
It goes without saying that the frustration inherent in this reality, especially but not solely for the young religious generation, is huge. Our young people breathe and live ahavat ha'aretz – a love of the Land of Israel; they dedicate their free time to volunteer activities, represent the "tip of the spear," or the vanguard, of the elite units in the IDF and will soon be the leaders of our economy and our society. And they do not do these things despite their beliefs or their religion, but rather because of it; the world of Jewish values, of Torah and ethics instilled in them by their parents and teachers has guided them toward respecting one's fellow man and dedication to one's country. This is the source of great frustration when there are those in the press or public who portray the world of values in which they grew up as being in opposition to the values of the country and the IDF.
The list of schools found to have the highest values published yesterday can mend some of these deep rifts, soften the background noise and the battle cries and bring to the stage the most important thing for us as a society: values. For the principals, teachers and students in the religious schools, this list is an opportunity to remind Israeli society that the National Religious believe that "derech eretz kadma l'Torah" – that developing good attributes precedes Torah learning – and that we will continue to educate and live by the complementary values of Torah, morality and justice.
Yinon Ahiman is the Director General of the Ohr Torah Stone network, three of whose high schools ranked in Level 1 of the Ministry of Education's Excellence List, each for the second time.

Egypt has objected to the storage capacity of Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam, currently under construction, which it fears will negatively affect its Nile water share.
Alaa Yassin, spokesperson on the Ethiopia dam issue for Egypt's irrigation ministry, called for decreasing the dam's capacity, currently set at 74 billion cubic metres, saying this will have an adverse effect on Egypt's water supply.
Yassin stated, according to state news agency MENA on Sunday, that his country's "studies" on the dam have shown that the capacity is "unjustified" and "technically unacceptable."
In October, Ethiopia said it had completed 40 percent of the construction necessary for its $4.2 billion dam project, adding that the first stage of the dam will be operational from June 2015. The 6,000 megawatt dam, set to be Africa's largest, is expected to be completed by 2017.
Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan have created a tripartite committee to conduct negotiations on the dam, a source of concern for Egypt.
The committee is expected to meet mid-January to choose an international firm to conduct studies on the dam's impact. This meeting has been postponed twice while some firms have withdrawn from the pool of prospective candidates to conduct the study.
In previous statements, Egyptian officials have said that there are several technical issues that could be discussed with Ethiopia should the anticipated report reveal that the dam will diminish Egypt's water supply.
Why you have a problem to see this issue from the other party prospective. If you are Ethiopian will you be okay for such request? Why you make every time something laughable to the news. Do you think your uncontrolled population growth s Ethiopia's problem. I always wonder how you are senseless.
The electricity blackouts and gas shortage we are experiencing now would be nothing compared to water shortage if we reach 150 m people by 2050 as projected, we will have wars in the streets, not fighting terrorists, but each other for a bucket of water and a loaf of bread. This level of population growth is unacceptable. (1) Limit families to 1 child; there are many ways to implement it without fighting a religious battle, such as prohibitive taxation. (2) Plan a second source of drinking water using Concentrated Solar and desalination, which is now an affordable solution in desert climate. No matter what is the outcome of the DAM negotiation, population control is a MUST in Egypt.
i always wonder how the Egyptian politicians are the so most inconsistent in their decisions. It becomes hard to believe them. I strongly advise the Ethiopian Government not to trust any thing that seams positive progress from them.
Back to square one? "Egypt will likely need an additional 21 billion cubic metres of water per year by 2050, on top of its current 55 billion cubic metre quota, to meet the water needs of a projected population of 150 million, according to Egypt's National Planning Institute." Egypt is in a position to search the said amount of water either from Medit. Sea or from underground, and Egypt for sure could find too much water enough for the pop of Egypt & China. The GERD electric power will also make artificial rain for Cairo when the population reached that level!
No comment on such perpetuated idiocy.
Rejection and conflict don't solve the problem, Egypt must develop the ability to handle problem by peaceful means, we know most Egyptian accept Ethiopian right to use their water but there are some old regime Minister and corrupted officials want the chaos to divert the attention of the people and government.

"Bloody Hell", I Said.
Posted on May 28, 2014 by Sadie Hasler
Now that I come to think of it, I'm not sure the best way to make friends with a stranger is to launch up to them, grab their shoulder and inform them that they have to protect you.
Especially if you're perspiring and in heels. There are things that can go wrong. You could trip and land with your face in their groin. Your sweat could splatter on their new silk tie. Your heels could stab their toe, you might shatter their clavicle. They might think you're mental and call for security, et cetera, et cetera.
But every now and then, if it's the only thing you've got, you should just go with it and hope for the best.
So I recognised the critically-acclaimed author of eleven works of fiction and nine works of non-fiction, Joseph Connolly – by his impressive beard. What else – it's not like he was wearing a Rio carnival basket of his books splayed out amongst pineapples on his head. It wasn't that sort of occasion.
It was the Editors Society Regional Press Awards. Which meant lots of men in grey, blue and black looking very 'newsy', and the odd woman. (Though rather too few for the disparity in the count not to register.)
The hotel was nuzzled against a street named Sussex Gardens. I recognised the name. I texted my mum; yes, that was where her and Dad had first had a flat, back in the late 70s. I felt warm. I went in.
I stood awkwardly in the foyer, shifting in my heels and looking, I suspect, like a corporate hooker on her first gig. Then I went down to the bowels of the hotel and the massive room all set out like a swanky news type shindig.
I balked. I nearly turned around and left. I had no place being here. I was not 'newsy', I don't read the news, I don't watch the news. I get my 'the news' from a Fleet Street reporter friend and trust everything she says. If she told me the UN was demolishing the world at 3pm I'd stick a colander on my head, and generally make hay until Ka-Boom o' clock; maybe go looting just to see what all the fuss is about.
I was also, it's not irrelevant to mention, in a state of mild to medium discomfiture because I was wearing a 'columnisty' dress that I had bought online so I didn't have to go real shopping, and in my panic and self-loathing had bought two sizes too big just so I knew it would definitely 'fit'. I had to gather it round the back and cinch it in with a belt to keep from looking too weird. If I'd lifted my arms up at the sides I would have looked like one of those dinosaurs that looks harmless until approached but which then splays its concertina head-wings and kills you with its flaps. The only thing that comforted me was the fact it came from Marks and Spencer and nothing bad can ever happen to you if you're wearing something from Marks and Spencer. It is British Law.
I stood awkwardly by the door with my champagne, trying to make it last, like a lady. And then I saw Joseph Connolly.
I launched.
"Joseph! Joseph Connolly! Hullo! I'm in your category, and I don't know anyone, and…" (cue my speech tailing off into general nonsense…)
Joseph Connolly looked at me with both kindness and gravity, like an author who'd just been commandeered by someone with poor award ceremony etiquette, as he had. He turned from his suited industry man friend to talk to me, the perspiring novice, and very soon I felt as comfortable as I was going to feel without relieving a champagne waiter of his entire tray in an act of developed suction that would make James Dyson feel like a charlatan.
We small talked, he settled my nerves with old-school charm, and led me to the table plan so I could find where I was sitting. (I wouldn't have thought of that without him – I probably would have bobbed at the back like an amnesiac mallard.)
As the awards were about to begin we said goodbye and I felt lonely. I sat, met my lovely editor Colin, ate some food, drank some drink, and, to my endless staggering shock, got announced Columnist of the Year.
In the introductory spiel boomed out by a nice newsy chap named Nick Ferrari, a column I had written about my Dad and bi-polar was mentioned, and I froze in slow unfolding recognition. Surely I hadn't won? I couldn't even dress myself properly.
But I had. And I had to stand up. The room was big and loud and full of people I didn't know, but for a few seconds it felt like it was only Dad in the room, watching me walk up to the stage. It felt like he was there, clapping for me. I could see his face and I felt like he was saying that he knew how hard the words had been, how hard all the words have been since he went, that he was sorry, but how proud he was that words were the things I have chosen. He would always have chosen words as the thing I did. Maybe I haven't chosen them myself at all.
Whatever, however; a board of national editors thought those words were good.
I brushed the Dadness away, a thing I've had to learn, tried to look normal, and swore lightly into a microphone. "Bloody hell", I said, which is endlessly better than "fuck". I made it through the rest of the awards in something of a trembling daze.
Joseph Connolly came up to me afterwards to congratulate me, and asked if I wanted a drink. And of course I bloody wanted a drink.
I bunked the group 'winners' photo to scoot upstairs to the plush hotel bar to talk to an author, which is probably the only cool thing I've ever done. I wanted to whisper to my fifteen year old self (who was there with me in spirit in the massive anxiety spot on my cheek) that it had happened; I'd been cool. We talked about books and writing and I began to feel like myself. Joseph's gentle wit calmed me, stopping me (kind of) from rambling. I felt that shining thing that comes across you when you talk about the thing you love most. A sense of belonging. Like coming home to party poppers and a candle-lit cake. Home. Writing is my home. I felt so happy. Here was I with some carved glass that marked some words I had written about bi-polar, about my Dad who'd lost the battle with it, there in a hotel by Sussex Gardens where Mum and Dad had first lived together, and here was I, their daughter, feeling happy because of the words that had come out of the opposite of happy, and now it was all linked up and I couldn't sort the different strands and it all made a sort of eventual conglomerate sense. It felt like all happinesses should feel in part; a small return to a beginning, dressed up as something new.
The award was the award, but the feeling was the prize.

Nippon Paint to be a Subsidiary of a Singaporean Company – Major Companies Putting Effort into Strategic M&A
On August 21, Nippon Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. announced that it had decided a third-party allocation of shares to Wuthelam Group, a major Singaporean paint company, for the amount equivalent to 1.29 trillion yen, as well as the acquisition of Wuthelam's wholly owned subsidiary in Indonesia and of 49% of the Wuthelam's shares of their Asian business jointly managed by Wuthelam Group and Nippon Paint. This will increase the equity share of Wuthelam from 39.6% to 58.7%, and Nippon Paint will literally become a subsidiary of Wuthelam.
The relationship between Nippon Paint and Wuthelam dates back to 1962 when Wuthelam started to work as a distributer of Nippon Paint. Thereafter, Wuthelam have expanded the business operations as Asian economy grew. In 2013, Wuthelam offered to take over Nippon Paint. Although the offer was not successful, both companies agreed to strengthen the capital alliance, and the equity share of Wuthelam reached 39% in 2017. In the general shareholders meeting in 2018, 6 directors' positions out of 10 were taken by the candidates recommended by Wuthelam, and Goh Hup Jin, who leads Wuthelam, took a position of the chairman. This means Nippon Paint practically became a subsidiary of Wuthelam at this point.
Partly due to the background just described above, the news were trumpeted in the headlines with sensational phrases such as "The acquisition is like putting the cart before the horse." or "A big boy capitulates to a Chinese abroad." Looking at the event from a different angle, howeve, we can see that Nippon Paint acquired the whole management right of Wuthelam's Asian business without paying any private funds. The three largest companies in the worldwide paint market are PPG Industries, Inc. (U.S.), The Sherwin-Williams Company (U.S.), and Akzo Nobel N.V. (Nederland). Needless to say, it is crucial to expand businesses in Asia, where the economy grows rapidly, in order to surmount worldwide industry reorganization and survive the global competition. In this sense, it can be said that Nippon Paint carried out extremely aggressive "Acquired strategy."
On August 12, Showa Denko K.K. expressed their intention to sell their business of aluminum cans for beverages, and on August 24, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited officially announced that their plan to transfer their over-the-counter drugs business to an American investment fund, both of which are profit-making businesses. There must be the intention of rebuilding the financial situation that had been deteriorating due to the large-scale acquisition of Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd. for the case of Showa Denko and of Shire Plc for the case of Takeda Pharmaceutical, respectively. However, I agree with their management decisions to take risks to achieve the growth of their companies and to avoid stagnation that is often favorably translated as stability. Although selling by the piece of businesses is not always the best solution, the replacement of assets to improve the organization and potential of the core business should be highly valued. While the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has been encouraging companies to press forward the structural reform, many unprecedented and unconventional mergers and acquisitions have been carried out. Because there would be no chance of success without their decision to sell individual businesses in the first place, it is a waste of time predicting whether or not they will garner good results.

Accreditation | Tasmanian School Canteen Association INC.
The School Canteen Accreditation Program is unique in that it promotes both best practice for canteen management and a whole school approach to healthy eating. This approach provides assurance to the wider school community that the school canteen is operating efficiently, safely and according to the school's values.
The Canteen Accreditation Program also responds to the nutritional needs of Tasmanian children and adolescents. It encourages canteen menus that offer 'everyday' food and drinks from the five food groups as described in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (2013). The Program utilises a simple "traffic light" system of GREEN, AMBER and RED foods.
Canteens can aim for one of three levels of accreditation as listed below.

Q: Is it possible to use Java Unsafe in user code? I'm reading code in java.util.concurrent package, and i find the class Unsafe(which is used to implement those synchronizers) interesting. I may never use it in any real code because the class name itself seems to discourage doing that, but out of curiosity, i have 2 questions on this class.
1). The singleton accessor of this class is like this:
    public static Unsafe getUnsafe() {
        Class cc = sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass(2);
        if (cc.getClassLoader() != null)
            throw new SecurityException("Unsafe");
        return theUnsafe;
    }

So if this method is invoked from user code, it will throw an exception. How to work around this? (possibly by making my own class loaded by the bootstrap class loader? is this possible?)
2). The above code assumes that getClassLoader will return null for classes that are loaded by the boostrap class loader. But the javadoc of Class#getClassLoader says "Some implementations may use null to represent the bootstrap class loader.", which means there is NO guarantee on this assumption. For implementations that do violate this assumption, wouldn't Unsafe(as well as various classes such as ReentrantLock that depends on it) fail to work at all?
Thanks!

A:
How to work around this?

You can gain access to the class like so (provided the security manager will permit the change of accessibility):
public static Unsafe getUnsafe() {
    try {
            Field f = Unsafe.class.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
            f.setAccessible(true);
            return (Unsafe)f.get(null);
    } catch (Exception e) { /* ... */ }
}

For implementations that do violate this assumption, wouldn't Unsafe ... fail to work at all?

The details of the Unsafe class are also implementation-specific. There is no reason to expect this particular Unsafe to be able to work with any other implementation of the class loader subsystem.

A: Another way to go is to use jvm option -Xbootclasspath/a:<directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
You can create a simple class which will call Unsafe.getUnsafe() and append it to bootclasspath.
public class UnsafeAccessor {

    public static Unsafe getUnsafe()  {
        return Unsafe.getUnsafe();
    }

}

Command line:
java -Xbootclasspath/a:<path_to>/unsafeaccessor.jar -cp

In such a way you will add this class directly to System Bootstrap Classloader. JVM will treat the class as part of JDK, and you can call UnsafeAccessor.getUnsafe() in your code instead of Unsafe.getUnsafe():
Unsafe unsafe = UnsafeAccessor.getUnsafe();

Sniper Elite 5 — стелс-игра в жанре тактического шутера от третьего лица, разработанная Rebellion Developments. Является продолжением Sniper Elite 4, выпущенной 26 мая 2022 года для Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One и Xbox Series X/S.

Геймплей
В игре предусмотрена сюжетная кампания с множеством локаций, которые были созданы с применением фотограмметрии. Проходить все уровни можно как в одиночку, так и в кооперативе. В дополнение к сюжетному режиму, в игре присутствует многопользовательский режим для 16 игроков.

Искусственный интеллект был улучшен. У врагов появилась возможность более ответственно реагировать на действия игроков. После убийства врага, другие враги начнут активно искать убийцу. Игрок оснащён биноклем, который показывает, где враги и какое оружие они несут. В особенность игры также входит ранг «офицер». Быстрое убийство офицера приведёт его солдат к отступлению, при этом его убийство в конце миссии позволит значительно увеличить сложность уровня. Игроки могут расставлять ловушки и использовать трупы в качестве мины-ловушки. В игре также присутствуют ночные миссии, в которых игрокам требуется разбивать источники света, чтобы скрыть своё присутствие.

Карта в игре стала гораздо больше, чем в Sniper Elite III, предоставляя игрокам ещё больше свободы и открытый геймплей. Также карта стала более вертикальной. Новая система движений позволяет Фейрберну подниматься и хвататься за выступы. Кооперативные миссии и соревновательный многопользовательские режимы также присутствуют в игре.

Сюжет
Действие игры разворачивается во Франции в 1944 году. Элитный снайпер американской армии Карл Фейрберн, совместно с французским Сопротивлением пытается не допустить осуществления секретного нацистского проекта под названием «Операция Кракен».

Разработка
В марте 2019 года разработчик серии Rebellion Developments подтвердил, что они начали разработку Sniper Elite 5. Игра была официально анонсирована во время Game Awards 2021. Согласно Rebellion, команда использовала фотограмметрию при создании уровней игры. Некоторые локации в игре были вдохновлены Гернси. Игра была выпущена для Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One и Xbox Series X/S 26 мая 2022 года. Игроки, сделавшие предварительный заказ на игру, получат доступ к дополнительной миссии под названием «Цель фюрера: Волчья гора», в которой игрок должен проникнуть в личное убежище Гитлера в Альпах, чтобы уничтожить его и его охрану.

There are people that will allow them selves to develop into a part of the beta group who will conduct the trial of this activity.

Sculptures by Hank Willis Thomas (Essay Sample)
With specific examples and sample works, analyze the sculpturing works by hank willis thomas
Sculptures by Hank Willis Thomas
Hank Wills Thomas is an African-American photographer and visual artist. His main point of interests in sculpturing revolves on race, popular culture, and advertising. Born on March 17, 1976 in Plainfield, New Jersey, Thomas is a popular and well-known artist. Through his talented artistic sculptures, Hank Willis Thomas has received honorary awards including winning the Aperture West Book Prize, featuring of his work in other publications such as the Reflection in Black, and other several exhibitions in galleries and museums. Thomas' sculptures portray a reflection on the social injustices against the blacks. Through his photographic and visual art, he tries to communicate the essence of equality among races manifested in the strengths and abilities of blacks in the society. Also, as portrayed by his sculptures, he significantly condemns injustices based on racial groups and expresses his concern on the smooth convergence among different ethnic and racial groups.
Though his sculptures revolve around the apartheid regime in South Africa, they communicate significantly on behalf of the racially discriminated African Americans in the United States. For instance, Thomas sculptures the heads and arms of the black miners in South Africa. This sculpture contains the ten out of the thirteen miners, initially pictured by Ernest Cole, as they experience a humiliating medical inspection by the white doctors. Thomas captions the sculpture "Raise Up." The imagery portrayed by the sculpture is not appealing. After undergoing through the humiliating experience, the sign later signifies the industry's power to manipulate the worker's body (Bmoreart.com). Then, the sculpture turns out to be a sign of insurgency that leads to exhortation and subsequent rebellion of the Black Americans against their oppressors. Rising of arms signifies surrender, but through the captioning by Thomas, it ignites and challenges the Blacks to fight against the powers of slavery and racial discrimination
Thomas' work depends solely on the past rather than the present. The sculptures emphasize the past African experiences under the power of colonial rule, as depicted in pictures and photographs. Thomas converts a rather two-dimensional script into a tangible form reflecting the past. In his work, Thomas sculptures the captives' poking of hands through the police truck as it drives away from the Supreme Court in South Africa (Bmoreart.com). Thomas designs a similar sculpture of a black hand clenching a fist through a wooden bar. Most African leaders sp...

lol what do kseniya and elena mean? im especially wondering what kseniya means , my friend's parents dont call her kseniya they call her susha or something....does everybody have a russian name?
-- Да? Коту Ваське, бл##?
I think what she means by a "russian name" is the diminutive.
As far as I know most of russian names have greek or scandinavian origin. Elena is a greek name, just remember Troya )) Short russian form is Lena. I think name Ksenia have ansient slav roots, but I can mistake. I know several Ksenias and friends call then "Ksyusha", "Ksyuha" or simple "Ksyu". It's also short forms for ukrainian name "Oksana"
Nah, Ksenia is Greek too, it means "foreigner". Think "xenon"
As far as I know most of russian names have greek or scandinavian origin.
lol what do kseniya and elena mean?
"Ksyusha", "Ksyuha" or simple "Ksyu". It's also short forms for ukrainian name "Oksana"
So diminutives are the same.
Xenia means hospitable (female) in Greek.
The exact meaning of Helene is disputable, the most possible is that it means "Sunny day" in a very early Greek dialect. Obviously it has the same root with the word Hellas (land of the Sun/enlighted land).

The boy who just gave his mother's business an e-com push
K V Kurmanath Hyderabad | Updated on January 24, 2018 Published on March 20, 2015
Kuljot Singh built a site to take his mother's business online.
pat2
Amrit Kaur Bakshi, a middle-aged Patiala housewife, runs a 'bottoms' shop in the city. She would procure custom-made 'bottoms' and other women's wear from local tailors to sell them to her customers, mostly based on word-of-mouth advertisiment. She has just expanded her market across the country with the launch of her 'e-commerce' window.
Her nine-year-old son Kuljot Singh has built a site for her using Microsoft's Azure offerings. While most of his Class 4 mates are busy preparing for their final exams, Kuljot Singh Bakshi was listening to experts talking about the cloud and the fast-changing technology landscape at the two-day Microsoft Azure Conference in Pune this week.
Accompanied by his father Prabhjot, the nine-year-old techie has literally lost sleep, telling techies how he used Azure to build the 'e-commerce' website www.patialabottom.com for his mother.
"He was awake the whole night on Wednesday participating in the Azure night and made a presentation on his work at 3 a.m. He was awake till 6 in the morning, hit the bed for a while and got ready for the keynote at 9.30 a.m.," Prabhjot, a web technologies trainer, told BusinessLine.
Kuljot means business. He pops up a business card which says he is a Web Developer for the site Patialabottom.com.
"I would like to continue my passion in web-based technologies," Kuljot says.
He says he helps his tech-illiterate mother put the latest models in WhatsApp and also on the website. As orders started trickling in from beyond her traditional market of Patiala, Amrit tied up with a courier firm to start sales based on the 'cash-on-delivery' model.
Is he worried about the upcoming exams?
He nodded 'yes' like any other student his age.
His father is not too worried. "We are letting him do whatever he wants to do," he says.

Ben Carson's HUD, Planning Cuts, Spends $31,000 on Dining Set for His Office| The MOST Corrupt ADMIN. in history.
WASHINGTON — Department of Housing and Urban Development officials spent $31,000 on a new dining room set for Secretary Ben Carson's office in late 2017 — just as the White House circulated its plans to slash HUD's programs for the homeless, elderly and poor, according to federal procurement records.
The purchase of the custom hardwood table, chairs and hutch came a month after a top agency staff member filed a whistle-blower complaint charging Mr. Carson's wife, Candy Carson, with pressuring department officials to find money for the expensive redecoration of his offices, even if it meant circumventing the law.
Mr. Carson is also facing questions on another front. Under pressure earlier this month, he requested that HUD's inspector general investigate his son's involvement in a department-sponsored listening tour of Baltimore last summer. Department lawyers had warned Mr. Carson that including Ben Carson Jr., an entrepreneur who does business with the federal government, could create a conflict of interest.
Mr. Carson "didn't know the table had been purchased," but does not believe the cost was too steep and does not intend to return it, said Raffi Williams, a HUD spokesman.
"In general, the secretary does want to be as fiscally prudent as possible with the taxpayers' money," he added.
Mr. Carson's wife is accused of pressuring officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development for an expensive redecoration of his office.

Q: Usar AndroidStudio en procesador AMD para ejecutar y depurar una app Buenas noches.
El día de hoy he instalado Android Studio y estoy probando mi primera app. He seguido los pasos de un tutorial, y todo marcha bien. Sin embargo al momento de ejecutar mi aplicación para depurarla Android Studio me lanza el error de que el emulador no puede ser ejecutado debido a que no tengo VT Virtualization Tecnology habilitado, presente unicamente en los procesadores Intel.
Hay alguna manera de ejecutar mi app en mi pc con AMD.? FX 6300 Soporta virtualización.
Muchas gracias.

A: en muchos casos la virtualizacion viene desactivada por fabrica, solo hay que activarla en tu procesador.
Enciende la laptop
presiona f2 o f1 para entrar a la bios
busca un menu de features o CPU
debe de tener una opcion VT-Virtualization
Ponlo en ENABLE o ACTIVAR
Presionas F10 o guardar cambios y salir
Y ya deberias poder virtualizar tu SO Android
Recomendacion; puedes ejecutar tu aplicacion en tu celular si tienes telefono android, solo tienes que activar la depuracion usb o modo desarrollador. Es diferente en cada telefono, puedes buscarlo en google. Te ahorrara mucho tiempo de ejecucion en la maquina virtual de android studio.
Saludos!

Ch-ch-ch-changes at Oracle's Cloud Group
BYBarb Darrow
Peter Magnusson, the engineering exec who joined Oracle with considerable hoopla in 2014 to direct that company's push into public cloud services, is no longer guiding that work, several sources close to the database giant confirmed.
Now, Don Johnson, a former Amazon Web Services senior engineer, who also joined Oracle in 2014, is leading Oracle's strategy in this area. Johnson, according to his LinkedIn profile was promoted from vice president to senior vice president of cloud earlier this month.
Both Magnusson and Oracle(ORCL) declined comment for this story.
The news comes a week after Oracle president Thomas Kurian and co-chief executive Mark Hurd updated the world about Oracle's progress in cloud, announcing a range of services including a cloud-based load balancer and the availability of its database from Oracle-hosted bare-metal servers.
Get Data Sheet, Fortune's daily tech newsletter
Oracle is late to the world of public cloud, where Amazon (AMZN) Web Services (AWS) blazed the trail starting in 2006. In this model, a single company aggregates masses of servers, storage, and networking and offers those resources to customers, most of whom want to reduce spending on data centers.
In 2009, Oracle co-founder and now chief technology officer Larry Ellison famously disparaged this model. Flash forward to December 2016, when Oracle claimed huge adoption for its cloud services during its second-quarter earnings call. The bulk of $1.1 billion in total cloud revenue reported by the software giant came from cloud-delivered versions of Oracle's business software, not Amazon-like cloud infrastructure services. That's important because most modern application development is moving to the latter model.
That's probably why Magnusson's arrival at Oracle was heralded three years ago. He had worked at Google (GOOG) on Google App Engine for application development and deployment. He left there for a six-month stint at Snapchat. From there he joined Oracle, which was ramping up hiring for cloud, offering big money to recruit talent from other cloud providers.
Forrester (FORR) analyst John Rymer said Oracle is doing well selling its key business applications online, and that its $9.3 billion purchase of NetSuite, last year will help with that initiative. NetSuite offers online software that helps companies with accounting, inventory, and other related business processes.
But it is still playing catchup in public cloud.
For the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2016, Oracle reported revenue of $878 million from two cloud categories known as Software as a Service and Platform as a Service. (Those are the techie descriptions for software applications and software development tools delivered from Oracle data centers.) Revenue for AWS-like public cloud infrastructure services was $175 million for the quarter, up 2% from the year-ago period.
For more on Oracle, watch: [fortune-brightcove videoid=5053957563001]
By contrast, AWS in October reported third-quarter revenue of $3.2 billion. Amazon will announce its first-quarter numbers later Thursday.
Critics say it will be hard for Oracle to match the multiple billions of dollars that Amazon, Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG) are pouring into infrastructure services annually. In an interview with Fortune a year ago Magnusson said Oracle could easily field enough cloud data center capacity to deal with 99.9% of the Fortune 500 workloads it needed to handle.
And last week, Oracle said it's bringing three new cloud data center regions online now, with more to come.
Date: (01/26/2017 12:05 p.m.) This story was updated to add a reference to Magnusson's interview last year.
Date: (01/27/2017 11:19 a.m.) This story was updated to reflect that Magnusson had no comment.


Vanessa Kirby is teasing that her character in the upcoming Fast & Furious spinoff (also known as Hobbs & Shaw) is very much in charge of things. However, she cannot confirm just yet whether she's playing Deckard Shaw's sister in the movie, as was reported earlier this month.
Following the release of last year's The Fate of the Furious - the eighth Fast & Furious movie overall and second to gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office after Furious 7 - the next installment in the street racing series-turned globe hopping franchise will be a spinoff centered around two characters: ex-Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs and mercenary Deckard Shaw (Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, respectively). The pair will be joined in the film by Kirby as, reportedly, Shaw's sister and an MI-5 agent who helps the macho duo on a (for now, under-wraps) special mission. Whoever she's playing, The Crown veteran insists she's the true "boss" in the movie.
Yeah, it's not definite yet. But, um, so I can't really talk about it, can I? But from, I suppose. Yeah, well I feel like is a responsibility, just in general, this is generalized. To play characters, particularly in these kinds of movies, that have always been male protagonists led. To play women that are fiercer then the men. And the character in that project is absolutely the boss by far. And I think that's really important nowadays to do that. And that's a really, really important thing to me. So yeah, I think, yeah. It's not definitely. I literally don't know, yet.
Well I think it's really, really important. Because these big movies are the things that are getting watched most in cinema. And because a lot of the long running, you know, like with The Crown or whatever, it's Netflix, you watch at home. And I think people come to the cinema or Imax to see these movies. I think it's so important to see these movies in the cinema. So, the kids that are coming to see it, or you know, the girls that are growing up, I think they have to be able to look at people on screen and go, I can be her rather than, oh, I don't know if I can be him. He's leading the movie and he's the one getting to do all the action. And I think that times are absolutely changing. And in something like that, the project we talked about, Hobbs & Shaw, what was exciting about reading it was that this was a character which is absolutely in charge from start to finish. And leads it in a big way.
Kirby's comments here are encouraging and suggest her Fast & Furious character will play a central role throughout the spinoff, along with Johnson and Statham as the movie's leads. Interestingly enough, Johnson's action movies in general have become increasingly feminist in their portrayal of women in this sense, as most recently exemplified by Naomie Harris and Neve Campbell's respective roles from this year's Johnson vehicles, Rampage and Skyscraper. With Emily Blunt sharing the screen opposite The Rock in 2019's Jungle Cruise and Kirby playing "the boss" in Hobbs and Shaw, it seems that welcome trend will only continue from hereon forward.

Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books Sheds Light on the Struggles and Triumphs of Black Pioneers
by First Comics News on December 14, 2020 Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books Sheds Light on the Struggles and Triumphs of Black Pioneers2020-12-14T11:25:17-08:00 - News
A New, Meticulously-Researched Hardcover from IDW Imprint Yoe Books Presents the Life Stories and Rare Masterpieces of the Black Artists Who Shaped the Industry
SAN DIEGO, CA (December 14, 2020) – During the formative years of the comic book industry, talented Black artists worked behind-the-scenes to create thrilling tales of superheroes, horror, and romance. Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books, a new hardcover book by comics historian Ken Quattro, is a riveting exploration of this little-known history, published by Yoe Books, an IDW imprint, and debuting tomorrow, December 15th.
Using primary source material from World War II-era Black newspapers and magazines, this compelling book profiles pioneers like E.C. Stoner, a renowned fine artist of the Harlem Renaissance and the first Black artist to draw comic books; Owen Middleton, whose life sentence in Sing Sing became a cause célèbre championed by historian Will Durant, leading both to freedom and a career in comics; Matt Baker, who drew Vooda, the first groundbreaking Black comic book hero; and many more. Each man's personal struggles and triumphs are represented as they broke through into an industry formerly occupied only by whites.
Gorgeously illustrated with rare examples of each artist's work, Invisible Men features Ken Quattro's impeccable research of the social and cultural environments in which these extraordinary men lived and worked, plus full stories from mainstream comic books, rare reprints from titlles including All-Negro Comics and Negro Heroes, and unpublished artist's photos.
"The Black artists profiled in this book lived and worked among the white population but remained unseen and unknown to those same people. My research, taken mostly from sources within the contemporaneous Black media, was for me both revealing and humbling. I hope that by sharing these revelations, others will be inspired," says Quattro.
"Ken Ouattro's engrossing writing, based on over two decades of impeccable research, finally gives foundational black comic artists their due. This unknown but vital part of comics history which Ken has so stunningly revealed will make the timely Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books one of the most talked about and important books of the comics field," says Yoe Books editor, Craig Yoe.
Early reviews from Quattro's peers in the arena of comics history have been overwhelmingly positive, and include:
"An indispensable contribution to the history of American comics, for fans and scholars alike." — Qiana Whitted, editor of Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies, and author of EC Comics: Race, Shock, and Social Protest
"A long neglected chapter of comic book history brought to light by a master scribe!" — Prof. William H. Foster III, comic book historian and author of Looking For A Face Like Mine
"The book is a revelation because of the sheer number of talented artists Quattro has discovered, and it's a memorial because of his meticulous research, which he has used to document the lives and accomplishments of a generation of barely- to completely-unknown Black comics artists." —Calvin Reid, senior news editor of Publishers Weekly and co-editor of PW Comics World
"Dogged research and choice archival reprints make this volume an essential reference for pop culture history. Eighteen African American comics creators receive overdue hero treatment in this collection that documents their essential roles in the rise of graphic pulp literature within the struggle for Black equality in postwar America." — Publishers Weekly
"This is the most complete list of Black Golden Age artists I've ever seen, complete with photos and examples of their work… a crucial historical document." — Reginald Hudlin, Producer/Director
"A timely and information-packed book giving tribute to a host of unsung Black creators of fabulous four-color art and comics." — Karen Green, curator for Comics and Cartoons, Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Columbia University
"Invisible Men highlights forgotten yet essential figures in our industry. Bravo to Mr. Quattro for finally giving them their due." — Keith Knight, Creator of The K Chronicles and Woke

Using a second cloth, or an unused portion of the same cloth, wet it with clean water and wipe off any soap reside left behind. You can either let the case air dry, or wipe it down with a towel. To speed up drying time for those cases with cloth backs, use a hair dryer on low. This is where things get a bit more complicated. Cleaning a case, without any electronic components, is easy. Cleaning a smartphone or tablet, worth hundreds of dollars, and packed full of electronics, leaves room for a lot to go wrong.
But as long as you take your time and use common sense, you should be iphone 8 case fine, Make sure you power off your device before you start wiping it down, and never spray a cleaning solution directly onto your device; just to be safe, I recommend rounding up the same cleaning equipment as we did for a case, with one addition: a dry toothbrush, The toothbrush will help get lint and debris out of the random ports on a device, In the past I've used cotton swabs or Q-tips, only to leave behind small pieces of cotton in the ports, Don't use a ton of pressure with the toothbrush, and let the bristles do the work for you, The last thing you want to do is break the charging port on your device because you used a little too much pressure..
Using a similar solution of a little soap (again, one drop for a smaller device is more than enough) and warm water, dampen a soft cloth and wipe down your device. Be sure to use another cloth, or an unused portion of the same cloth, with clean water to wipe off any residue. You can either let the device air dry, or wipe it down with a soft cloth. Only after you're sure there's no liquid left on the device, power it back up. Another method to quickly clean off your device, is to use pre-made electronic wipes. I usually have one or two of wipes in my backpack or car, just in case. You can pick them up from somewhere like Wal-Mart or Amazon for relatively cheap, and they do a decent job. A small tidbit of advice when going this route -- avoid scented wipes.
Editors' note: It's spring cleaning time! You can view all of our spring cleaning tips and tricks here, Keep checking back for more tips, This How To post was originally published on April 9, 2014, and has been updated to include new information, Do you realize how much bacteria is sitting on the screen of your smartphone right now?

You should now be able to use the Vulcan salute emoji on your iPhone or iPad. Head over to messages, type the shortcut you set (in my case that's "llap") and the emoji should appear. The icon will only be visible, however, to iOS users who have updated to version 8.3. Numerous people have asked about different colors for the Vulcan salute emoji. You can view them in this tweet and add them to your iOS device using the same method listed above. To learn more about the new emoji in iOS 8.3, check out this article.
(Via iMore), Apple has added support for a Vulcan salute emoji on iPhones and iPads, but you won't find it on the emoji keyboard, In a move Spock would deem most logical, Apple has added support for a Vulcan salute emoji in iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3, While the symbol isn't in the emoji section of the iOS keyboard, it's not hard to manually add it to your device, You must first update your iPhone or iPad to iOS version 8.3, This can be done be going to Settings, clicking on General and selecting Software Update, You can then add the Vulcan salute iphone 8 case emoji to your device by following these steps..
The company will add support for Apple's iOS software and Wi-Fi in the next version of Android Wear, which could come out in the next few weeks, according to a person familiar with Google's plans. Google's plans were first reported by The Verge. Google declined to comment. The move would radically expand Google's potential customer base because it would let iPhones work with Android Wear-powered smartwatches. Apple sold 66.5 million iPhones in the last quarter alone. Smartwatches based on Google's Android Wear, which currently only work with other Android smartphones, have had a slow start as consumers question the need for the devices.
Samsung, Sony and Motorola Mobility, which has the market-leading Moto 360 watch, already offer smartwatches based on Android Wear, And at Mobile World Congress in March, LG unveiled the LG Watch Urbane, while Huawei introduced its own Watch with sapphire glass, Six products running Google's operating system for wearables accounted for 720,000 units, or 15.6 percent of a iphone 8 case total of 4.6 million wearable products shipped in 2014, according to research firm Canalys, But awareness for smartwatches is on the rise thanks to Apple and its Apple Watch, The Watch will be available for fittings and preorders Friday, and will launch on April 24..

iPhone 8 Plus review
It's no iPhone XS, but the 8 Plus is a cheaper, solid pick
By Gareth Beavis 2019-07-15T13:05:23Z Mobile phones
1. Design and Bionic power
2. Improved screen and AR effects
3. Camera
4. Battery life
5. iOS 11 and iOS 12 - a welcome upgrade
The iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone – there's no doubt about that. At launch it was a better phone than anything Apple had produced before - albeit shown up by the iPhone X - and it's, well, just done in a very Apple way.
That's not fawning over the brand, it's a nod to the effort that Apple puts into making sure its phones just work, and in a way that adds in flourishes that impress.
Whether that's a subtle haptic double buzz when pressing the shutter on the camera, or being able to 'feel' the numbers clicking when selecting the time on the alarm, it's those little delights that… delight.
The glass back on the iPhone 8 Plus is probably the most noticeable change, to enable wireless charging – it's a different look, and if the drops we inadvertently subjected the phone to are anything to go by, it's pretty robust.
The wireless charging is a handy addition, but it's not earth-shattering… you'll enjoy it if you've got a pad, but it's not as rapid as connecting a lead.
The camera enhancements are subtle, but impressive, as is the speed boost the A11 Bionic chip offers – you won't notice much out of the box, but the little extras it brings do offer something different.
The Portrait Lighting mode was a nice upgrade from Apple, especially in decent light, and a genuine highlight over the iPhone 7 Plus.
Battery life has sadly not taken the leap forward we're desperate to see from Apple – if you've always lived within the iPhone ecosystem you'll be pleased with the battery performance on offer, but there's still the feeling that more could be done here.
In short, the iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone. It's expensive, but filled with the little touches Apple is known for that smooth the smartphone experience to such a degree that you'll feel glad you paid more.
The thing is, the presence of the iPhone X (and the 2018 models) renders the 8 Plus unexciting. It's an old design with the same features as before, just a bit more refined again. The iPhone X/XS/XS Max/XR are exciting, whereas the 8 Plus is just more of the same.
The iPhone 8 Plus is a phone for the Apple fan who wants solid battery life and a big screen, without having to pay the premium the iPhone X or iPhone XR costs.
That said, if you're going to pay this much, you should think hard about spending a little more to get the headline new iPhones… the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are using the rapidly-tiring shape that Apple has been offering for years, where the XS and XR phones are a whole new experience.
Also, if you're a video fiend, you should only buy the iPhone 8 Plus if you're happy to fork out for the 256GB model, otherwise you'll run out of space within a few months if you don't siphon off your movies.
Should I buy it?
This is a tough one… because, right now, we're not sure there's a huge upgrade here over the iPhone 7 Plus. The power doesn't seem that much better in the iPhone 8 Plus over its predecessor, which is odd given the disparity in benchmarks.
The camera is just a touch improved (although noticeably so in some scenarios) and the screen tech a subtle boost.
In short, you should really only go for the iPhone 8 Plus if you especially want wireless charging, you intend to keep the handset for a number of years, and you can't stretch to the iPhone XR. Apple sells better iPhones for a little more and iPhones that are almost as good for a little less.
Not convinced the iPhone 8 Plus is for you? Check out these alternatives we've cooked up for you – they're close enough to what's on offer here but offer some nicely different features...
Of the new iPhones that Apple launched in 2018, the iPhone XR is closest to the iPhone 8 Plus in price – $749 / £749 / AU$1,229 for the XR against $699 / £699 / AU$1,149 for the 8 Plus.
That's not a huge price difference, and it's hard to justify buying the old-style iPhone 8 Plus for the sake of saving a few dollars or pounds. The iPhone XR is faster and has a bigger display, though on the other hand the iPhone 8 Plus is still plenty fast enough and features a dual-lens rear camera.
Read our iPhone XR review
The iPhone 8 is the smaller option of this handset, and it's cheaper too - however, it has fewer bytes of RAM, a lower-res screen and a smaller battery. It's the one to choose if the Plus is just too chunky; otherwise, go for the bigger model as it's the better performer.
Read our iPhone 8 review
Maybe you've been thinking of leaving the Apple camp? If so, jump to our best phone on the market, with the S10 Plus bringing five camera lenses (three on the back, two on the front) and a top-quality screen.
Alternatively, you might want to consider the cheaper Samsung Galaxy S10, which is still high-end but a little smaller at 6.1 inches - that still makes it bigger than the iPhone 8 Plus though.
Be warned though: Android is a different world to the slick experience of iOS, and you might struggle initially with the change. Google's Android Pie update is solid, but you'll never get iMessages on Android.

Maybe you want a quality Android phone but can't quite stretch to the admittedly expensive Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus? In that case the Samsung Galaxy S10e is made with you in mind.
It has a slightly bigger screen than the iPhone 8 Plus at 5.8 inches, but it's wrapped into a surprisingly compact body, with minimal bezels and a punch-hole camera.
Speaking of cameras, there's an impressive dual-lens one on the back, plus all the power you'd expect from a 2019 flagship. It lacks the curved screen, in-screen fingerprint scanner and extra lenses of the rest of the range, but then the iPhone 8 Plus doesn't have those either.

I am the valedictorian of worry and self-doubt. But whenever I muster the courage to ask the universe for help or guidance, I get pretty strong –and often immediate– answers.
Take, for instance, my rambling last post, recounting my spur-of-the-moment tarot card reading two weeks ago. I went into the little room with a general sense of confusion, something not being right. The only question I asked directly was "what the heck am I doing?" But the thoughts in my head are always about giving up acting because it feeds too much on the ideas that I'm 'not enough' of this or that… too butch, too femme, to tall, too fat, not nearly fat enough, etc.
The day after I got my tix, I received a message asking if I would like to perform at OUTFEST, in one of the events I had planned to attend. In a reading of a new screenplay. In front of a ton of queer filmmakers. Because they were looking all over for butches and androgynous folks, and through word-of-mouth they found me.
So on Thursday night I'll be clad in a suit, reading a butch role in a new screenplay set in the butch/femme bars of the 5os, in front of the who's who in up-coming film queers.
I guess I asked for the answer to be "really, really clear this time." I get it, universe! — as I say above, I'm here because we should be seen.
CONGRATULATIONS! Go out and represent my dear sir. And don't feel so alone, I may not be in LA, but I'm a fellow butch actor. We'll take over the world soon enough.


The NPD Group seems to be trying to shake up its game analysis business. In recent years, it's attempted to capture better information on the digital games market, and now looks to be edging into the game consultant business with the announcement that it's acquiring the Carlsbad-based analytics firm EEDAR.
NPD's EEDAR acquisition does mean the company isn't just tracking sales now, it says it will also be picking up EEDAR's business of consulting for game developers and providing marketing and design insights for their game releases.
This of course means that, to some extent, NPD will be pushing its market-focused business into the more artful world of game design. For developers who've worked closely with the consulting firm in the past, it'll be interesting to see if NPD is able to offer any more useful information to help complete the launch of their game.
Update: An NPD representative has reached out to clarify that while NPD is purchasing EEDAR, the objective of the purchase is mainly to focus on integrating company's data analytics platforms, and the design consultancy end of the business will remain solely in EEDAR's purview.
Still, EEDAR CEO Robert Liguori did confirm that the company would still be doing its consultancy work under the flag of The NPD Group. When asked if the purchase would positively impact EEDAR's ability to consult for various game companies, Liguori pointed out that EEDAR's previous partnership with NPD meant that they have already been providing NPD data in their analytic work for some time.

Railwayman's appeal to be reunited with baby he saved from burning building nearly 60 years ago

@donnaloubishop
Alan Baker, 89, at the Whitwell and Reepham Station with his book 'A Life on the Rails'. Picture: DENISE BRADLEY
His act of bravery made front page news more than 57 years ago.
Alan Baker, author of A Life on the Rails, describes the moment he rescued a baby from a burning building in Norwich. At the time, the story made the front page of the late final edition of the Eastern Evening News - now the Evening News - on Monday March 19, 1962 (pictured). Picture: ARCHANT LIBRARY
Now a lifelong railwayman from Norfolk is hoping his new book, which describes the moment he saved a baby from a burning building, may reunite him with the tot he rescued.
Alan Baker, 89, is a volunteer at Whitwell and Reepham Railway Station and first began penning the book about his journey working on steam rails, ten years ago.
Although it took him just seven months to write, it was a decade before A Life on the Rails was finally ready to hit shelves.
Mr Baker said reading it back to himself had given him lots of laughs as he reminisced about days gone by but it was one incident in particular which stands out.
On the afternoon of March 15, 1962, the Norwich resident was making his way along Earlham Green Lane, on the outskirts of Norwich in Earlham, to his local the Good Companions for his Sunday pint when he saw something unusual.
"I went walking down the road and saw flames coming out of a bedroom window," he said. "Well I thought to myself thass a rummin'. Then a man run out saying there was a little boy inside. He dragged me into his yard, pushed me upstairs and sent me to rescue the boy.
"I did my collar up as I entered the room and when I walked in I saw it was a great fire and I could hear the baby crying a bit.
"I shouted 'alright kiddo, I'm coming' and I crawled on the floor to get to him."
Mr Baker managed to grab the baby and place him under his coat, before turning to see flames all around. He managed to crawl his way out of the room and, after handing the baby over to his parents, ran back inside to chuck a wet blanket over a paraffin stone, which is believed to have been the cause of the fire.
Unfortunately Mr Baker never reunited with the baby, who is believed to have recovered in hospital, and eventually the family, reported to be a Mr and Mrs Keith Stracchino, moved away.
At the time, the story made the front page of the late final edition of the Eastern Evening News - now the Evening News - on Monday March 19, 1962.
And later, Mr Baker was presented with a certificate from the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire from chief fire officer, Mr French, with the lord mayor of Norwich.
Talking about his book, he described how he would wake up at 2am and remember things to add.
He said: "That's how it all happened. I've put down all the engines numbers and driver's name, apart from one I called 'prat face'. I would write things down as I remembered them.
"I enjoyed writing it. I never thought it would be put into a book. I'm happy to think people like it."
Mr Baker worked as a railwayman for more than 50 years on the LNER, BR, IC and Anglia, and the M&GN.
His book has been published by the Whitwell and Reepham Railway Preservation Society.
- Are you the baby that was rescued by Alan Baker 57 years ago? Or do you know who they might be? Email reporter Donna-Louise.Bishop@archant.co.uk.
An extract from A Life on the Rails by Alan Baker
On October 10, 1946, Mr Baker fell off a train's tender and hit his side on a buffer:
"I can quite clearly remember going to hospital, the bell on the ambulance ringing this is an emergency case. We entered the emergency bay with the medical team waiting. I was hurried in and laid on a bed with my boots and overalls all dirty, then things went hazy.
"I can remember my Father talking to the surgeon. The remarks I heard were not good, the surgeon had told my Father than an operation must take place, but the chances of survival were very poor. The next recollection was going in the operating theatre and someone put a mask over my face and said 'breath normally'. I did not know anything else."
A Life on the Rails can be purchased online or from Whitwell and Reepham Railway Station.

"Although people believe that 'Gongo Aso' is my best album, to me, my album, 'Tradition,' still remains my best album in terms of content and lyrics. What you believe would sell might not sell but it does not mean that it is not good. I never knew 'Gongo Aso' would be a successful album. In fact, that was not even the title of the album. The initial title of the album was 'My dictionary, your diary'; but when the song became very popular, ID Cabassa suggested that we make the song the title of the album. The song, 'Gongo Aso' was not supposed to be part of the album. I had finished recording the album when the song came to me and Cabassa said we should destroy all the promo copies we had made and promote the song.

Jailed Moroccan human rights activist among Sakharov Prize finalists
Nasser Zefzafi nominated for European Parliament's annual prize for top human rights defenders
Moroccans hold up pictures of jailed protest leader Nasser Zefzafi (AFP)
Published date: 9 October 2018 19:26 UTC | Last update: 9 months 1 week ago
A jailed Moroccan human rights activist and a group of organisations working to protect migrants in the Mediterranean are among the finalists for the Sakharov Prize, the European Parliament announced on Tuesday.
Nasser Zefzafi is among three finalists for this year's honour, which is awarded annually by the European Parliament to a top human rights defender from around the world.
The other finalists are Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov, who was sentenced to 20 years on politically motivated charges and has engaged in long hunger strikes in protest of his detention, and a group of NGOs "protecting human rights and saving the lives of migrants across the Mediterranean Sea".
The NGOs include SOS Mediterranee, Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders International.
Zefzafi is a leader in the Hirak protest movement, which spearheaded demonstrations in Morocco's northern Rif region in 2016 and 2017.
Tens of thousands protest in Morocco over jailed Rif activists
The protests were sparked by the death of a fish vendor, who was crushed to death in a rubbish truck in Hoceima, in the country's north, in October 2016.
The vendor, Mouhcine Fikri, had gone into the truck to retrieve fish that had been confiscated by police.
Zefzafi was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June after a nine-month trial on charges of "plotting to undermine the security of the state".
He is currently in prison in Casablanca and ended a one-week hunger strike last month in protest of his detention conditions.
The Sakharov Prize will be awarded on 12 December.
