WIT: How the 'Sheryl Sandberg of Mexico' is inspiring women in tech
Blanca Trevino of Softtek offers one of the most competitive training and certification programs among IT companies in Mexico.
If you think the glass ceiling for women in tech is tough in the United States, take a look at the challenges they face in Mexico, Latin America and other developing countries. For many the obstacles may seem insurmountable, but not for Blanca Trevino, the co-founder, president and CEO of Softtek, a Mexican unicorn that is the largest IT vendor in Latin America.
Since founding Softtek in 1982, Trevino has helped build a far-flung global empire that offers application software development, security and other IT solutions to more than 300 corporations in more than 20 countries. And it generates more than $500 million in annual revenue. This she and her partners accomplished without venture capital, by bootstrapping and plowing all profits back into the company to foster growth.
At the same time, she has worked hard to elevate women in the IT workplace and has proved to be a role model for those looking for leadership roles in a male-dominated industry. A board member of Wal-Mart Mexico and the prominent Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), her success formula is simple: "Don't focus on the obstacles you face, but focus on the skills and talents you bring to the field. It's all about mind-set."
That wisdom is sorely needed when you consider gender gap in computing jobs has gotten worse in the last 30 years, even as computer science job opportunities expand rapidly, according to new research from Accenture and Girls Who Code. In 1984, 37 percent of computer science majors in the United States were women, but that number dropped to 18 percent in 2014, according to the study. The computing industry's rate of U.S. job creation is three times the national average, but if trends continue, the study estimates that women will hold only 20 percent of computing jobs by 2025.
In Latin America the situation is worse, experts say. While 44 percent of all science positions — including social sciences — in the region are held by women, they are underrepresented in science, technology and engineering, according to UNESCO.
Trevino has witnessed the trend since her humble beginnings. Back in the mid-'80s it was very uncommon for women in Mexico to go to college and work in the IT field. But the tide is shifting. Now the graduating class of information technology majors at ITESM are 35 percent to 40 percent women, she says, adding, "One thing that's changed is that there are female role models — such as Sheryl Sandberg, CEO of Facebook — who have been able to make it. This gives women confidence they too can succeed."
Today women make up about 14 percent of executive-level jobs in the technology industry, according to the Anita Borg Institute. The organization says women are frequently pushed into softer technical roles that rarely lead to senior and executive positions.
The best advice Trevino can give to aspiring women looking to launch a technology start-up?
1. Start by developing a big idea and commit to it.
2. Don't spend timing thinking about obstacles; instead, focus on your strengths.
3. Find great partners. It is easier to start a business if you share your dream with someone else. As a woman who often has to juggle work and family, having a support system can help you boost the odds of your success.

As the daughter of a programmer, Holly has been in and around technology her entire life. She grew up with computers and never took them, or her tech savvy seriously until she went to work for Apple. During the ten years she was with Apple, she easily mastered several software and hardware certifications, and completed several training courses as a corporate facilitator, as well. This proved to be a passion: teaching people to love their technology. Her mindset of "If I teach you what not to do, you're going to spend more time loving your device instead of fearing you're going to break it." proved to be wildly successful and lead to her teaching other employees her best practices at the highest level. Holly's other passion in life is writing. She began her first blog, The Adventures of Bimbolinaho, in 2003. Since then, she has expanded her writing online by creating not only this site, but also Food Allergy Epidemic, a blog dedicated to adults who've recently been diagnosed with Food Allergies. She's been featured on Buzzfeed, Medium, Liberal America, Media Shower, News for Shoppers and theCompostr and was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly, and the Huffington Post as a contributor. Ironically, it never occurred to her to combine her two passions until now. Duh! She decided to make her skills available to predominately women, because men so rarely ask for directions…Her technical skill set includes: Mac OS Desktop Certification, Final Cut Pro X Certification, Filemaker Pro Certification, Small Device Certification, iOS Qualification, MS Word, MS Powerpoint, WordPress, Dropbox, and all of Apple's Desktop Applications i.e. Photos, iMovie, iTunes, Mail, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. She also has a vast knowledge of several other third party applications, like Evernote.	View all posts by blondebyte

The Adventures of Bimbolinaho
The Blonde Leading the Blind.


Burn injuries in the United States are usually easily treatable with cool water and a first aid kit. But in the developing world, millions of impoverished women and children each year suffer debilitating injuries or die from burns.
Imagine a pregnancy that deprives a woman from the nourishment needed to keep her and baby healthy. Where dehydration, malnutrition, debilitation and weight loss become daily challenges. Loved ones become their nurses and their unborn child becomes their illness. Numerous medications are the only way to save her and her baby's lives, without truly knowing the effects on her child.
As a mom, you're likely to already understand the usefulness of a cell phone – from the convenience of your partner letting you know they'll be late for dinner to the peace of mind that comes from ensuring your kids are safe and easy to find. Whereas the cell phone is one of several pieces of technology in our lives in the U.S., for many in the developing world, such as in Africa or South Asia, the cell phone is the first and only communication tool, as there are rarely computers or landlines. And the nearest hospitals, schools or banks are often hours if not days away, making the cell phone the primary way people in the developing world can easily access critical services.
"These journeys are for those who are steadfast and patient, but persistent and determined"
Jennifer James created one of the first communities for mom bloggers to gather and present themselves as a collective to brands and advertisers, as well as share and support each other. The Mom Blogger's Club was born five years ago and now boasts nearly 17,000 members.
Young children are generous by nature (unless it's their toy or snack of course), and bring smiles to others with little effort. As you help them discover helping others feels good, they will quickly look for more chances to serve.
I'm a new-ish mom who has lived in Chicago for over 13 years. There are lots of places I walk, but the 6.5 miles to my obstetrician at Northwestern when I was two weeks overdue two years ago was not one of them. Nor did my did my parents walk the 10 miles through rural Wisconsin to bring my infant brother, feverish and lethargic, to the ER in Sheboygan where he was later diagnosed with, and treated for, life threatening meningitis.
Eight rusty beds were crammed in a tiny rural health center, each topped by an uncovered black vinyl mattress. The beds were full -- each with at least two patients per bed –mostly children with malaria. This was the only hope of medical care for 26-year-old Victoria. As she was rushed into the center in Northern Kenya, she was already in labor with her third child. The baby was coming two months early and with an unexpected audience -- a handful of mothers visiting from the United States. I was one of them.
In late 2011, Philadelphia-based freelance photographer Sarah Bones, part of the collective Photographers for Hope, went to Bangladesh to photograph the urban delivery centers or "birthing huts" opened by BRAC, a global development organization active in 10 countries, in the crowded slums of the country's capital, Dhaka. She witnessed, and captured on film, a dramatic scene as one 17-year-old Fazila, endured a difficult labor – first in the birthing hut, later on the floor of a stranger's hut.

Latin America Nicaragua Opinion Segments

The huge march of April 23, 2018 was one of the many during the civic rebellion. Photo: Confidencial / Carlos Herrera
The solution isn't proclaiming abstention but rekindling civil resistance until the police state is suspended, and there is electoral reform.
Por Carlos F. Charmorro (Confidencial)
HAVANA TIMES – With ten months left before the 2021 presidential and congressional elections, Nicaragua remains a police state, without electoral reform. Those from the April 2018 rebellion now face a crossroads. Either submit to Ortega's attempt to "legalize" his dictatorship or rekindle civil resistance until there are guarantees of free competitive elections. The latter would offer a path to taking power.
The first option implies accepting the rules of an election without transparency or political competition. Candidates and political movements will be inhibited well beforehand. In such an election, power would not be in play. It would only serve to legitimize a return to the pre-2018 status quo, now with an unchecked and bloody dictatorship at the helm.
The second option means challenging the police state, from a platform of national unity. It would have to involve the participation of the Blue and White Unity movement and all the opposition parties. It would also have to enlist the support of the business sector and the moral leadership of the Catholic Church. In addition, it would have to issue a call to the public servants, both civilian and military. These forces would all need to be mobilized to restore the right to free and competitive elections. This involves negotiating an electoral reform, with or without Ortega and Murillo in power.
These are two objectives, two roads and two strategies that are radically different. On one side, some sectors harbor the illusion that the solution to our national political crisis will come from outside. They assume that the tyrant will cede, for fear of further international sanctions. They believe that – at the last moment – Ortega will allow "electoral reform", to keep the OAS from declaring his government "illegitimate". A reform without substantial changes, but one that offers a minimum of change. Then he can proclaim that he's made "a step in the right direction". His growing ideological alignment with the Cuban-Venezuelan model, however, indicates the contrary.
On the other side, the possibility of real civic pressure depends on the April Movement's power to convoke. They must bring together the new political majority of those without a party. This is the group that in 2018 demanded the departure of Ortega and Murillo from power, and early elections. They have put up the dead, the political prisoners, and have suffered massive exile. They won over the Catholic church the hard way. They also forced the rupture of the corporate-authoritarian partnership "model". This alliance of the large business owners with the Ortega-Murillo regime had lasted nearly a decade.
United, the blue and white vote embodies the hope for political change. Not only of their defeating the FSLN in a free election, but also of winning by a sizable majority. Such a majority would give the new democratic government an unmistakable mandate to dismantle the dictatorship's power mafia, clearing the road for progress.
A divided opposition grants Ortega and his allies a competitive advantage as a political minority. The current tendency seems to divide the Blue and White vote into two blocs. There's the Civic Alliance, on the ballot as Citizens for Liberty, with support from the business sector. Then there's the Blue and White National Unity, the Rural Movement, and the National Coalition, on the ticket as the Democratic Restoration Party.
That scenario would leave Ortega and the FSLN as the largest political minority. As such, they could steal the election through fraud, or they could win by a slight margin. Or, they could even lose and continue governing from below. The political arithmetic that all the surveys project is invariable. Only a united opposition alliance, excluding only the small parties that collaborate with the FSLN, can comprise a winning force. Only a united alliance could defeat and dismantle the dictatorship. Such a force must begin with unified action to pressure for the suspension of the police state and for electoral reform. These are two inseparable parts of the same political process. Such a unified opposition represents the chief pillar for a new democratic republic.
But how can electoral reform be forced from the regime, when the police state has truncated the freedoms of assembly and mobilization? How can it happen with a regime that maintains more than 100 political prisoners?
Paradoxically, political support for the dictatorship today is at its lowest point. The three consecutive years of economic recession has multiplied poverty and unemployment. This has all been aggravated by the lax management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, since September 2020, the tightening police encirclement and the persecution from the paramilitary have triggered a decline in civic protest. Further, the regime is illegally holding under "house arrest" more than a hundred opposition figures. These include leaders, released prisoners, returned exiles, and family members of the victims of repression.
Ortega's response to the demand for free elections has been to close the political space yet further. Key to this was the approval of the four repressive laws: "hate crimes law", "gag law", "foreign agents' law", and "national traitors". These laws criminalize the exercise of democratic rights and are aimed at eliminating political competition during the electoral process.
Nonetheless, the way out of this crisis doesn't lie in proclaiming abstention in advance. Nor does it lie in waiting for the "electoral reform" Ortega offered in May. Instead, it lies in changing the balance of power. In the first months of 2021, the opposition faces the formidable challenge of getting ahead of Ortega's deadlines and imposing their own political agenda. This agenda should represent the aspiration for change of the great impoverished majorities and of the country's middle class.
In the first place, civic pressure must be restarted. This must focus on demanding the suspension of the police state and electoral reform. Ortega will never grant minimal conditions for a free and competitive election unless he faces maximum political and economic pressure. Enough pressure to force him to negotiate an electoral reform.
Secondly, a national opposition alliance must be built, to bring together the Blue and White vote around a program of democratic change. Then candidates for president, vice president and congress must be selected through a democratic primary.
The April 2018 civic insurrection generated the most participative political process in Nicaraguan history. The candidates for the united opposition can't be subject to Ortega's veto, nor to the fingerings of the elites nor to party quotas. They can only be chosen through democratic competition. The tradition of the existing parties is to condition and predetermine the political results. Contrary to this, the future opposition alliance should assume as their banner of change the legitimacy that only comes from candidates selected through genuine democratic competition.
Can the opposition political leaders create such a great national alliance and guarantee a participative process to choose their leadership? If so, that leadership may govern the country beginning January 2022. The presence of minimal electoral rules, as well as the recovery of confidence in the vote will depend on such an alliance. In addition, it holds the hope of achieving the aspiration of my father, Pedro Joaquin Chamorro. Assassinated 43 years ago by another dictatorship. My father proclaimed: "Nicaragua will once more be a Republic."

Q: How to hot code replace in RAD/Websphere 8.5 Writing J2EE webapps in RAD 9.0.1 with WebSphere 8.5.5.0.  Our hot code replace isn't working.  We modify even the simplest of java routines (no interface changes to the class, just method internals), and yet we have to fully restart the application every time.
Googling about it seems like IBM has some instructions about setting reloadEnabled in deployment.xml, but I did that to no effect.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/urun_rapp_classload.html
I am in debug mode, I am set to have RAD detect changes and publish.  Every time I publish, the app restarts, which is an incredible time sink.  Especially since our app has alot of multi-step depth to it.
Is there some other setup I need to do to get hot method replacement to work in RAd with WAS?

A: If you are just modifying method body in a java class and have debug mode enabled on the server already, you shouldn't need to republish for those changes to take place.  You can try turning off auto publish settings on the server (since auto publish will forces the app to be restarted).  The method body changes should get picked up automatically (assuming the method signature has not been modified).

Ensure that there is sufficient rental demand in the area where the property is located. Take advice from local agents and friends in the neighbourhood on the rent you can expect from a property that size in that area.
The cost of your funds shouldn't be too high if you want to profit from buy-to-let. There are various options offered by financiers for buying to let. Compare the options and the hidden costs involved with each option before finalising with any one banker.
Don't forget to take into account the extra costs that would be needed in taking care of maintenance and insurance of the property.
Should the tenants default on rent or choose to vacate earlier than expiry of the lease deed, then you'd need to have sufficient backup funds to pay for the mortgage installments.
You could find a tenant on your own and manage the tenant on your own. Should you choose to go in with a letting agent, look at their reputation in the market. Their charges vary.
Have a lease agreement in place before a tenant occupies your property. Your letting agent or solicitor can help you with this.
As the property owner you have the responsibility of insuring the structure of the property, including any permanent fixtures and fittings. A range of insurance policies exist specifically for the buy-to-let market.
Becoming a private landlord may affect your tax position and profits you earn from the property could be liable to capital gains tax, charged at the highest rate of income tax. Consult with your tax or financial advisor to find out the most tax-efficient way of running your buy-to-let.
If you are letting a furnished property, always make sure the tenant signs a detailed inventory of all contents. This will help safeguard against any missing or damaged items that could be uncovered when they leave.
It is very important to get a deposit from your tenants before they move in. This will help to protect you against any damage caused by tenants or a default on rental payments.


French "Spider-Man" climber Alain Robert is back at it again, scaling one of London's tallest buildings on Thursday — without ropes.
The catch? He got arrested at the top.
According to Reuters, the 56-year-old climber made it to the top of London's Heron Tower in an hour. Standing 230 metres (755 feet) high, it's one of the highest buildings in the city, so scaling this thing without any support in sight is seriously impressive.
People watch Robert climbing Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, in central London.

Turkey Uzbekistan to produce jointly Ejder Yalcin III 4x4 armored
October 2017 Global Defense Security news industry
Posted On Saturday, 28 October 2017 10:26
Under an agreement signed on October 27, 2017, Turkey and Uzbekistan will jointly produce the Ejder Yalcin-III, a Turkish-made wheeled armored vehicle.
Turkish-made Ejder Yalçin III 4x4 armoured vehicle at High Tech Port, defense exhibition in Turkey.
Anadolu Agency reported that representatives of Turkish firm Nurol Makina and Uzbek firm UzAuto signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the joint manufacturing of the Ejder Yalcin-III 4x4 armored vehicle. The deal was signed as part of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's visit to Turkey.
The two sides will jointly produce up to 1,000 vehicles under the agreement. Anadolu Agency noted that the deal includes export to third countries, suggesting that not all 1,000 will enter service locally in Uzbekistan.
The report did not note when the two sides expect to conclude a production deal or when joint production might begin.
In late July, Uzbek media reported that Uzbekistan was planning on an order of 10 Ejder Yalcin-III armored vehicles with an aim towards reaching a joint production agreement. Uzbekistan had tested the vehicle locally the previous month and was satisfied that the Ejder Yalcin-III could operate in the local environment.
The following month it was rumored that the two sides were working on an agreement regarding production of hundreds of the armored vehicles.
The Ejder Yalçin III is the latest member in the Ejder family of armoured vehicles designed and manufactured by the Turkish Company Nurol Makina. The vehicle was unveiled during the defense exhibition in Turkey High Tech Port in November 2016.
The Ejder Yalçin III is based on a V-shaped hull design offering high level of protection against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The vehicle can accommodate up to 11 military personnel including driver, commander and gunner.

Perfect Competition: It is a form of market. Price fixed by the industry. no firm can affect the price by its individual efforts. An industry comprise group of different firms producing the same products. in which large number of sellers sells a homogenous product to buyers. i. INTRODUCTION Market : The market is a place where buyers and sellers meet each other to effect a business transaction In economic sense. . Firm produces only a small portion of the total output produced by the whole industry.e. settle the price and transact their business. buying and selling of products. market is a system in which buyers and seller bargain for price of product.
They can sell output only at the price fixed by the industry. In such cases price of the commodity is the same at every place. • All the firms must sell completely homogenous or identical goods. Features of Perfect Competition : 1. 2. 3. Homogenous Product: • Most essential features of perfect competition. 4. Free entry and Free exit of firms: • Complete freedom for items to enter into or leave whenever they choose to do so. Large Number of Buyers and Sellers : • There are large number of buyers and sellers under perfect competition. Absence of Artificial Restrictions: .Firm is only a price taker and not a price maker. • Fresh product can enter the market if some product incurred loses and leave the market. • The price of the commodity is determined by the combined actions of all the sellers or firms and buyers in the market.
supplies . Perfect Mobility: • In perfect competition goods. Non Existence of Transport Costs and Selling Costs: • Perfect competition assumes that the various firm work so close to each other that there are no transport costs as well as the selling costs because everyone is selling an identical product. 5. Perfect knowledge of the Market to Both Buyers and Sellers: • There must be perfect knowledge on the part of buyers and sellers about market condition. Imperfect Competition: . 7. • Factors of production can move easily for smooth functioning of the market. • There should be non-existence of any artificial restrictions on the demands . • There must be no governmental or institutional fixation of the prices of goods and factors of production. sources as well as resources are perfectly mobile between firms. 6.prices of goods and factors of production in the market. • No necessary to spent on advertisement as buyers knows the worth of each product.
5. Depending on the number of sellers operating in the market . Monopolistic Competition. Buyers and Sellers do not possess perfect knowledge and the products sold are no more homogenous.imperfect competition is further classified : 1. Duopoly 3.In the 20th century . Oligopoly. The number of buyers and sellers is also small. Monopsony OLIGOPOLY Meaning Oligopoly is a situation a few large firms compete against each other and there is an element of interdependence in the decision – making of these firms. Monopoly. 2.markets all over the world have become imperfect on account of several factors." Any decision one firm makes will affect the trade of the competitors and so result in . 4. Each firm in the oligopoly recognizes this interdependence.
Collusion reduces degree of competition. and this must be taken account of when decisions are made." A major policy change on the part of one firm will have obvious and immediate effects on its competitors. one's competitor's behavior depends on one's own behavior. The element of interdependence of firms has made the formulation of systematic analysis of oligopoly very difficult.countermoves. . So. The interdependence makes predictions difficult and. by reducing competition. and thus enables firms to increase profits by acting monopolistically: 2. Collusion. To play this game. thus. 3. Due to the following reasons an oligopoly situation may invite collusion among firms in the industry: 1. Collusion may help in restricting entry of new firms into the industry. The competitors are taken likely to react with their counter – policies. As a result. reduces the uncertainty associated with rivals moves and countermoves. makes it very cumbersome to reach at any optimal decisions. the oligopolists have to be equipped with the both the aggressive and defensive marketing weapons. a game of moves and countermoves begin between the rivals.
the oligopolist is not dependent to take his decisions. his policies have a noticeable impact on market-mainly on the industry price and output.Main Features of Oligopoly 1. Interdependence Unlike perfect competition and monopoly. The oligopoly firm has to take into consideration the actions and reactions of his rivals while determining its price . electronic industry etc. Due to the extent of influence of each seller. 2. We can find this kind of market situation in automobile industry. Small number of large numbers The number of sellers dealing in a homogeneous or differentiated product is small and each seller and seller is catering to a significant part of the market demand.
So price rigidity will prevail. the firm in oligopoly normally sticks to its price. Advertising Given high cross – elasticity of demand for products and price rigidity in oligopoly. thus. 4. Also. Hence. as each product will have some loyal customers. Existence of price rigidity Since any change in price by an oligopolist invites countermoves from its rivals. The cross – elasticity of demand is very high between the products of the oligopolists because the products are close substitutes. Presence of monopoly element So long as products are differentiated the firms enjoy some monopoly power. If a firm which has reduced the price. will not allow it to take any advantage nof price reduction. when firms collude with each other they can work together to rise the price and earn some monopoly income. 3. 5. and output policies. its rivals also do so and. If a firm tries to reduce the price. the only way to open to the . the firm would not try to either to reduce or raise the price.
Entry of firms : On the basis of possibility of entry of new firms. Usually. If the product the industry are homogeneous. Bases for classification 1. It is rare to find pure oligopoly situations. advertisement as well as variations in design or quality of the product are both used simultaneously to maintain and increase the market share of an oligopoly firm. Advertisement expenditure is used as an effective tool in his direction – this expenditure is aimed primarily at shifting the demand in favor of the product. 2. While if the firm in the industry produce differentiated products which are close substitutes. we may classify the oligopoly situation as open or closed. Product differentiation : On the basis of product differentiation. we call this situation as imperfect or differentiated oligopoly. oligopoly may be classified into perfect and imperfect oligopoly. the oligopoly is called the perfect or pure oligopoly.oligopolist is to rise his sales by either advertising his product or improving the quality of his product. .
while the latter is a tacit collusion. Partial oligopoly refers to a situation where one large firm dominates the industry and the other firms follow the leader with regard to the policy of bthe price fixation. the new firms are free to enter the industry. On the other hand. The collusion may be in the nature of an agreement or an understanding between the firms. The former is called open collusion. the firms may be acting independently: that is. 3. instead of competing with each other. is called collusive oligopoly. Full oligopoly. while in case of the latter a few large firms dominate the market and new firms do not have a free entry into the industry. exists where no firm is dominant enough to take the role of a price leader. Price leadership : The oligopoly situation can be classified as partial or full oligopoly. depending upon the presence or absence of a price leader. Agreement between firms : A situation where the firms. follow a common price policy. In case of the former. there is no agreement or . 4. on the other hand.
Such a situation is known as non – collusive oligopoly.understanding between oligopoly firms. .

Fourth Season Of United Byker To Enrich More Lives With Newcastle United Foundation And Byker Community Trust
A vital partnership between Newcastle United Foundation with the Byker Community Trust is continuing to have a positive impact on the area for residents of all ages.
The two charities have been working together to help enrich the Byker estate with a number of community programmes offering employability support, activity in schools and health and wellbeing events through United Byker.
Throughout the 2018/19 season, the Foundation expanded its Premier League Primary Stars delivery to schools in the area, as well as introducing Family Football and United As One sessions in St Lawrence's Primary and Byker Primary Schools.
Now in its fourth year, up to 120 pupils will be engaged with existing Newcastle United Foundation activities alongside Match Fit and literacy and numeracy support.
The official charity arm of Newcastle United will also be working with Byker's young people who are currently not in education, training or employment by offering 12-week courses followed up with one-to-one support for up to two years after if required.
The Foundation's ever-popular Soccer School programme will also be arriving in Byker this season, open to seven to 11-year-olds to play football and learn new skills with specialist coaches in the school holidays.
Adults will also be able to access Walking Football sessions at Spires Lane and Walker Activity Dome alongside twice-annual NHS Health Checks open to participants of all ages.
Elaine Flynn, Partnerships Coordinator at Newcastle United Foundation, said: "We are immensely proud to have the continued support of Byker Community Trust.
"By working together, we are able to sustain positive progress which means we can reach more individuals of all ages with different needs living on the Byker estate.
"We look forward to engaging with even more participants than ever before through our Education, Employability, and Health and Wellbeing programmes throughout the 2019/2020 season."
Earlier this year, Newcastle United's DeAndre Yedlin surprised pupils at Byker Primary School to learn more about the partnership and have a friendly kickabout on the playground.
During his visit in March, Yedlin commented how the partnership was giving opportunities to people from the area, creating an "incredible impact" on families in Byker.
He also learnt about Carrick's Kicks, a joint-venture between Newcastle United Foundation and Michael Carrick Foundation, part-funded by Byker Community Trust, which runs out of Spires Lane.
The Kicks programme is a vital point of engagement for Northumbria Police, who often visit sessions to educate and inspire youngsters living on the estate.
Northumbria Police's Byker and Walker Neighbourhood Inspector Dan Whyte said: "It's incredibly important that we're able to engage with the next generation and sessions like this are the perfect opportunity to do so.
"We have PCSOs and other officers who are able to spend time here and they will be become a familiar face to the young participants here.
"It is truly a fantastic partnership between the Byker Community Trust and Newcastle United Foundation that I expect will continue to flourish in the neighbourhood."

On behalf of Restivo & Murphy LLP posted in Construction Accident on Thursday, April 28, 2016.
With construction being a common site across New York City, it is hard to believe some of the sites are considered "small" construction sites. However, work being done on buildings that are 10 stories or less are considered to be smaller sites. It is these sites that have been highlighted as being less safe for workers than sites that are on much taller structures.
These are not always the confirmed reasons, but suspected causes. There are numerous small construction sites that are extremely safe and secure.
If you are working on any construction site, it is important to take steps to ensure your own safety. Be aware of your surroundings, especially where the edges of a building are. Be vigilant for dangerous situations, such as objects that can potentially fall, unstable scaffolding or uneven flooring that can cause a trip and fall. Wear a hardhat hat and all safety equipment that is required. Wear safety equipment even if it is not required. Report all unsafe conditions to your boss in order for them to be corrected.
If you have been injured and need to talk to an attorney, do so as soon as possible. The sooner you get in touch with a construction accident lawyer, the sooner your rights can be protected.


Our NAEP scores are now flat to down. The limited progress we were making on SAT and ACT has stopped. And our gains on post-secondary completion have slowed. The data painting this gloomy picture are plentiful, and I have reported on them in numerous blogs. I have also written considerably on the administrative and legislative actions over the last 5-7 years that lowered standards, lessened expectations for students, weakened accountability, and reduced help to teachers and schools needed in the work of improving achievement.
I do not intend to repeat that old story here. Sadly, what I must report is a new story that suggests that this backward movement from leader to laggard has continued and actually worsened in this hot and dreary summer.
In the face of a weakened federal law, some states are, nevertheless, working to continue positive momentum on their own in order to build on from the era of No Child Left Behind. Look at some of the constructive ideas featured by Brookings and the Council of Chief State School Officers. http://www.brookings.edu/events/2016/07/27-future-school-accountability-essa-duncan. Here are solid ideas for maintaining rigor in accountability promoted by Chiefs for Change. http://chiefsforchange.org/chiefs-weigh-in-on-proposed-essa-regulations/.
While Governor Abbott made a solid appointment in Mike Morath as Texas' new education commissioner, what major steps has Texas generally been making during these months since changes were made in federal law?
Have we been focused on how we could more effectively be true in teaching and learning to our well-regarded, Texas-built learning standards? Have we been identifying and utilizing research-proven practice to help our educators get the best possible results for the dollars we have to spend? Have we helped our fellow citizens understand the strengths of the tests we've constructed over the years while addressing their weaknesses and reducing unnecessary and duplicative testing? Have we shown educators and parents how to make far greater use of the data that are derived from tests instead of letting the test results sit uselessly on the shelf?
Have we fixed the highly flawed accountability system to make ratings more truly fit achievement, be more transparent, and drive schools to improve? Have we distilled the practices that have driven the very best charter and traditional schools in order to help average or worse schools become more effective in lifting student achievement?
Have we been working on solving more of our students' out-of-school problems to help teachers achieve greater success in school? Have we been building a broad-based consensus on the importance of getting more of our students to college or career readiness upon graduation? Have we helped our citizens understand the difference it will make to our economic success and that of our young people if they graduate ready for college or career? Have we dramatically increased rigorous career education options, as promised in recent state legislation?
These are the questions that are being asked and answered in the states and localities that are responding constructively to the new challenge of federal law to use local control intelligently to improve education. While there are exceptions in Texas, the main action here has not at all been in these directions.
Instead, a great deal of energy in Texas has been put this year into a commission whose mission was to consider next generation accountability. Instead of tackling many of the broader, important accountability issues inherent in the questions posed above, the commission took the predictable and narrow route of mainly re-visiting the type of tests we ought to toss or get.
Embarrassingly, the commission seemed to be unaware of data that had accumulated in the vaults of the education agency about how, why, by whom, and to what effect currents tests had been constructed. Further, there seemed to be little awareness of (or commitment to) the principle of testing to the fine standards that had been set by Texas citizens and educators rather than the makers of the so-called Common Core. How else could the commission have flirted so long with assessments based either on Common Core or other interests not tightly aligned to state standards? Indeed how could the commission have flirted with testing policies that are violative of the new federal law and would have threatened federal funding to Texas?
It surprised many observers during the months of goings-on that the commission's final report called for so little immediate and substantive change. One must wonder whether someone finally whispered in the ears of commissioners of the consequences of some of the actions they were contemplating? More specifically, one wonders whether the Governor and Lieutenant Governor might have mentioned that they prefer Texas standards in Texas, not Common Core or other standards behind commercial "computer adaptive" tests that may or may not be aligned tightly with state standards. One wonders whether school people stung by the loss of the school finance case might have mentioned that the risk of losing federal money under federal law wasn't a risk worth taking.
After all the dancing right and left, is the commission's failure to do much in the end the most serious problem? I don't think so. The far more worrisome problem is the state's failure to get past the stale, adult political issues and instead tackle intelligently the tough and consequential questions and challenges I posed earlier in this blog. Texas used to work primarily on this sort of stuff and made great progress for its kids by doing so. Leaders do the same today. Laggards don't. Texas has, sadly, become a laggard.
What's At the Heart of the Anti-Charter Movement?
If these recent articles had been more balanced, conceding the extraordinary achievement of high quality charters while exposing problems among others, I might feel differently. But no such distinction was attempted: "bad" was sought throughout, even in the good, and generally bad was reported, whether real or not.
To get a sense of what lies at the bottom of all this propagandistic "reporting," I engaged in a back and forth in a recent Facebook exchange with an advocate of the anti-charter line to better understand the opposition. While I concede this is but one exchange about differences on the topic, I believe this account of charges and responses is reflective of the battle that is being waged and worth examining.
Charge #1: The attack began with the assertion that it is a matter of Republican philosophy that charter schools are a panacea for all education issues.
Response #1: I responded that no one believes that charters are a panacea for all education issues. Yet, it is significantly Democrats, including President Obama, both of his Education Secretaries, a multitude of Democratic citizens, parents, teachers, and funders, and even those who prepared the current draft of the next Democratic Platform, who have joined many Republicans in supporting high quality charters.
Charge #2: Charter schools seek out and enroll the best kids, which is why some appear to do better.
Response #2: Most charters use a lottery system that prevents cherry picking. Plus, high quality charters generally show significant gains for the students who enroll, as measured against their own past achievement in previous schools.
Charge #3: Charters fail miserably by not teaching the arts.
Response #3: One of the great things about charters is that citizens, teachers, and parents have the flexibility to create greater differentiation in school offerings. If parents and school founders want more band, orchestra, arts, etc., they can create a charter that places special emphasis in these areas.
Charge #4: Charters steal good kids away from traditional schools.
Response #4: No one is stealing anyone from anywhere. Parents are choosing among public schools, when they're given a choice. They're making a choice based on where they believe their children can get the best education.
Charge #5: Parents are only (or primarily) choosing charters because charter advocates are telling them how amazing charters are.
Response #5: It's presumptuous and wrong to think that parents who make the choice of a charter do so for any other reason than others do for their children. They pick based on what they legitimately think is in their child's best interest.
Charge #6: You always talk about successful charters but never successful traditional schools.
Response #6: I am always happy to talk about success in public schools and frequently do so. In fact, I'll be posting soon on successful public schools in Austin (whose success, by the way, is too little recognized by the system itself!).
Charge #7: Charter school success reminds me of taking vitamins and thinking you're healthier though the vitamins had nothing to do with the success.
Response #7: How do you explain the voluminous data that have been provided showing generally not only strong overall achievement but also significant academic growth over time for the students who enroll in high quality charter schools?
Charge #8: Is it possible that this improvement is due to the fact that these students have been removed from an environment with poorly performing students?
Response #8: I don't like the idea of poorly performing students anywhere and have worked for almost three decades to change that in the public schools. But are you saying parents ought not be able to seek out other public schools where their children might have a better chance at success?
Charge #9: Students who do not participate in debate, the arts, and other activities are not as successful as those who do.
Response #9: That may or may not be so, but, again, shouldn't parents, not charter opponents, be able to decide what public school alternative is best for their children?
Charge #10: Let me show you some website "stories" that show that some people are making a lot of money off of charters.
Response #10: Let me show you who are operating/funding those websites. Then let's get back to the issues relating to what's best for children and their parents and the facts demonstrating clearly the positive and promising results in high quality, non-profit charters.
It's obvious charter school success has struck a nerve in a good part of the public school establishment. At the very time educrats have had success in reducing the pressure of accountability, parents are increasingly inclined to move their children to more effective, high quality public charter schools.
Whether accountability and increased funding for traditional schools will be restored is unclear and in doubt at this time. What's not in doubt is that funders, citizens, teachers, and parents are sprouting high quality charter schools like beautiful flowers all over the landscape. Bless them with even greater and speedier success in doing so!

Q: Python unit testing: psycopg2 query coverage We're doing unit testing via the usual unittest module of python. This works very well with coverage, but it does not really help to find out if queries are tested well. Is there any tool to collect coverage information for queries used in psycopg2? Some of our queries are quite complex and as such can have multiple paths, depending on the data that is currently in the database.
I'd split up the queries, but that would have a bigger performance impact, as the query planner will not be able to optimize as well as in a single query.
[TL;DR]: Is there any tool to collect coverage information for queries used in psycopg2?


From 2 to 6 September 2019, the Plantin Institute of Typography and the University of Antwerp are organizing an international summer school about Critical approaches to typography.
Nowadays we can choose between a long list of fonts; professional documents can be delivered with only a small effort. Due to the continued development in desktop publishing software, more and more of the work is taken off our hands. At the same time, a lot of typographic conventions are taken for granted.
In this summer school Dr. Frank E. Blokland will take us on a journey during which we will critically reconsider these typographic conventions, so we will be able to avoid amateurish mistakes in the future and we will be knowledgeable to make better choices. When and why should typefaces be tracked or letterspaced? Do we need ligatures at all? Which fonts make a good combination and which ones combine badly? How can we improve the legibility of our documents?
Dr. Frank E. Blokland is a well-known Dutch type designer, font producer, software developer, and Senior Lecturer at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague and at the Plantin Institute of Typography in Antwerp. In 1990 he founded the Dutch Type Library (DTL), the first producer of digital typefaces in The Netherlands.
Typesetting and printing in the 19th century, by Patrick Goossens, historian and conservator, Antwerp.
The summer school is meant for international bachelor and master students who want to gain a deeper understanding of typography and type design. Professionals such as graphic designers, graphic consultants and web designers are very welcome as well.
All sessions will be in English. The venue will be the city campus of the University of Antwerp, in the city's historical centre.
The application deadline is 2 June 2019. A maximum of 20 participants will be accepted.
The registration fee of 600 euros includes the course material, coffee breaks, the welcome drink and the farewell diner. It does not include accommodation.
There is a reduced fee for students and alumni of the Plantin Institute of Typography and for students of the University of Antwerp.
The detailed programme and the application form is available via: www.uantwerp.be/typography-summerschool.


To give this zoom the thorough test it deserves, it was paired with Nikon's 45.7-million-pixel Z 7, which embeds lens correction profiles for Z lenses like the Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S in its raw files. Software such as Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom applies these corrections automatically to keep optical flaws in check while helping to speed up our workflow.
The lens delivers its sharpest results at the wide end of the zoom, with centre sharpness figures at 14mm peaking above those taken at the mid-way point in the zoom range. Stopping the lens down from f/4 to f/5.6 and f/8 sees corner sharpness improve, with f/5.6 yielding pleasing results on close inspection.
Sharpness at 30mm isn't terrible, but users can expect a perceptible drop in sharpness when it's used wide open at the long end. If your shooting situation doesn't demand that you shoot wide-open, it's well worth stopping the lens down to f/5.6 to locate its sweet spot.
There's always some concern about how well wideangle optics control curvilinear distortion. Converging verticals are inevitable with an ultra-wide lens, but with barrel and pincushion distortion being well corrected for by the embedded lens correction profile, users won't notice any horrendous bowing at the edges.
Shooting towards the light also confirmed that chromatic aberrations are well controlled. Users needn't fret too much about severe fringes of colour along high-contrast edges.
As for vignetting, the embedded correction profile might alleviate corner shading at wide apertures, but it doesn't remove it completely. Use the lens at its widest zoom setting at f/4 and you'll notice light fall-off in the corners. I found myself overcoming this by stopping down or taking manual control of the vignetting amount slider in Camera Raw.

Intel – Italy Said to Intensify Talks Over EUR 8-Billion Chip Factory
Leave a Comment / By Kashmala / December 24, 2021 July 25, 2022
Intel urged Italy to speed up negotiations with the $ 88 billion chipmakers. "These are structured investment talks with various EU leaders," Intel said. Two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Intel and Italy are in talks to invest € 8.8 billion to build a sophisticated semiconductor packaging plant.
This statistical agreement gives Italy a% 80 billion (about 6 680,920) 10%. Semiconductor chip.
Intel, Italy Specifications:
Investments may range from $ 440 million to $ 8.8 billion, sources previously told Reuters. In October, Reuters reported that Germany, the largest economy in the European Union, has launched Intel, the European fab factory, as part of France's ongoing projects.
Intel "held constructive investment talks with government leaders in several EU countries," but declined to comment on talks with Italian authorities. "We look forward to many opportunities to support the EU digital agenda and the ambitions of 2030 for semiconductors Rice field. Following the outbreak of COD-19, consumer demand for explosive devices such as smartphones intel laptops, and computers have become increasingly difficult for code makers to increase their productivity.
After the recent supply chain crisis, EU countries have tried to reduce their dependence on semiconductor supplies from China, but much of their work still relies on sectors such as the automotive industry. The proposed Italian factory is a sophisticated packaging facility that uses sophisticated technology to produce all chips.
Intel, Italy Details:
Intel has invested $ 9 billion (approximately 67,640 feet). Thus, The decade since Prime Minister Mario Draghi began to establish the Italian government, sources said. He said negotiations would be difficult if Rome wanted to clarify. Intel's plans for Italy, especially in terms of labor and energy costs.
Sources say that if Rome and Intel come to an agreement. They will continue to vote on behalf of the plant. However, CEO Pat Gelsinger said earlier this month that he plans to announce new chip factory sites. The United States and Europe early next year.
In April, the Italian government used anti-dumping laws to prevent. Thus, The sale of local semiconductor company shares to Chinese Shenzhen Invincible Holdings. Find out where your podcasts are on OrbitalSpotify, Ghana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.


Yesterday, I was given a glimpse. Here is what I wrote in my journal: "My walk to the beach with Mariko this morning at sunrise was like a walk outside the dimensions of the time/space continuum. It has been so cold that the waves of the outgoing tide left frozen traces on the sand. Each swirling dance from a previous moment was preserved in hologram just for me to see. In my mind's eye each wave danced again, and my spirit danced with it. The beach was a canvas on which the creative hand of Gaia has left Her signature. She also left inscrutable totems. Sleeping gulls, puffed up to giant size to forestall the cold, squatted immobile like Easter Island statues. They bespoke a liminal reality just beyond my ken, yet resonant with my spirit."
The experience mirrors, in natureform, my social experience yesterday and this morning of finding a community of like-minded people. It too was like stepping into an entirely new, yet entirely familiar dimension. I said I wanted new friends, kindred spirits, and voila, they are here, as close as my fingertips, as expressive as my mind. By what Majesty are such things decreed into being? By what Grace am I here/now to receive, translate, and broadcast them? Are they so only because I am ready for them? Am I ready for them only because they are so? Am I one with them? YES. Oh what gratitude and joy that YES contains! It is a sublime word, a translation, perhaps, of Om.
My yes will feed me today.


Ho hum. The New England Patriots are AFC East champions for a 10th consecutive year.
Bill Belichick's club locked up the absurd feat by downing the Buffalo Bills, 24-12, to improve to 10-5, their 16th straight double-digit win season.
A week in which receiving yardage leader Josh Gordon was suspended indefinitely, likely signaling the end of his NFL career, culminates with another division title. Tom Brady and Julian Edelman hooked up a game-high six times for 70 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Brady only passed for 126 yards and was intercepted twice — the same number as Bills rookie Josh Allen — a continued illustration of the uncharacteristic inconsistencies New England has endured on offense this season — even with Gordon in the mix. But the New England defense forced three turnovers and held Buffalo's anemic offense to 2-of-12 on third down to ensure Belichick's Patriots wouldn't lose an unprecedented third consecutive game.
However, the Patriots' potential path to a ninth Super Bowl berth under Belichick and Brady likely won't go through Foxboro. The 11-3 Kansas City Chiefs can lock up the No.1 overall seed Sunday night in Seattle, and even after losing at home to the Baltimore Ravens Saturday night, the Chargers hold a one-game advantage over the Patriots, who finish the regular season vs. the New York Jets.
But thanks to the Eagles' win over the Houston Texans, the Patriots still can lock up a first-round bye with a win over the Jets on Sunday. The way Brady, Rob Gronkowski and others have looked of late, a week of rest seems to be of the utmost importance to this version of the Patriots.

Marking our memories
Diary of a Mothering Worker
Entry 331
motheringworker@gmail.com
DR GABRIELLE JAMELA HOSEIN
THIS EVENING, Bocas Lit Festival and Commonwealth Writers will be launching the collection, We Mark Your Memory: Writings from the Descendants of Indenture, at the Writers' Centre on Alcazar Street, Port of Spain, from 6.30 o'clock.
The collection commemorates the centenary of the end of indentureship and includes writing from South Africa, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Mauritius and Samoa. It's powerful to be included in a space with those from other places where indentured workers turned exploitation into opportunities, making new lives and birthing new lineages and stories.
Indian indentureship has transformed our landscape in the Caribbean, and these voices evoke its afterlife 100 years on. Writers in the collection from TT include Patti-Ann Ali, Kevin Jared Hosein, Suzanne Bhagan, Stella Chong Sing, Fawzia Muradali Kane, and Jennifer Rahim, diverse voices marking different kinds of memories.
My own piece, titled "Chutney Love," was written in 1996 and I used to perform it in my younger days in the rapso movement. The year 1995 was a richly complex moment in our recent political history. The rise of the UNC evoked the dashed hopes of 1986. For some, "it was Indian time now" as chorused by graffiti on the bus route, seen every time a maxi passed by.
It was also the year of chutney music continuing to "douglarise" Carnival, following the boundary-breaking entry of Drupatee Ragoonai in the 1980s and then others, from Chris Garcia to Sonny Mann, to Brother Marvin who continued the mixing of Indian and African rhythms and music started by those like Ras Shorty I.
Finally, Indo-Caribbean women's writing and scholarship blossomed in these years. Theirs was a turn to words that at the same time turned away from ideals of purity as, in both bodies and in lyrics, women began to play up feminist politics of power and pleasure.
The poem's lines, written when I was inspired by these developments at just 22 years old, bring together rapso's commitment to performing poetry in the language we speak everyday with my own negotiations with Indianness, femininity, sexuality, political consciousness, and cross-race and anti-imperialist solidarities for "we both cross water for empire/ And ever since we lan up here together/ Is with only one history that we grow."
"I ent nobody bowjie/ No promised dulahin" are the opening lines in the second verse, "But when de tassa start to roll up/ Beta, dem lyrics yuh have, I done write myself in."
This tradition of Indian women writing themselves into Indo-Caribbean culture and history can be traced at least as far back as Indian women's arrival, but was brought with them from India, through the depots and onto the ships.
These women's voices can be heard in everything from letters to court documents to ship records, all leaving an echo in our own contemporary pressing against imposed roles and rules, and in our continued aspirations for self-determined lives.
As one example, just this Saturday, rolling through Plum Road with Prof Brinsley Samaroo, pre-eminent historian of Indo-Caribbean experience, Ziya and I ended up at St Isadore Estate, and stood in the very places where Bheeknee once stood. Born 1869, Bheeknee came to Trinidad on July 31, 1974, on the ship the Golden Fleece, with her mother and her baby brother. Her father had died aboard. She was just five years old.
When she was 13, George Kernahan, a sailor on the Golden Fleece, who had later begun working as an estate manager, found and took her to live with him, fathering several children. He was a spendthrift and alcoholic who eventually became blind. Meanwhile Bheeknee went on to frugally manage their money and to eventually purchase 500 acres of land – what became the estate we were now standing on.
She was so astute that she had ponds dug from natural springs, installing huge pipes and ensuring a fresh water supply while running a successful cocoa estate. Later, when Kernahan lost the estate to debtors, Bheeknee moved the family a few miles away where she had bought more than 30 acres without him knowing. Her house still stands there today. A jahaji bahen with no education who accomplished brilliant achievements through will to survive before her death in 1934. I'll be remembering her today, and how history lives in words as much as in our landscape.
As we mark memories, whether from 1917, 1934 or 1995, come hear pieces read by their authors, all descendants of indenture, writing ourselves in. Like most Bocas' events, the launch is free and all are welcome.
