Q: Access an e-reader via USB on the command-line I have a Likebook Mars e-reader. When I plug it into my laptop with a USB cable, it appears in PCManFM-Qt, and I can access the files on it graphically from there:

That works okay. What I want to do is browse, read, and write files on the command line with cd, ls, cp, etc. But the e-reader doesn't seem to be reachable via anywhere I can cd to in the real filesystem (even if I've already looked at some of the files in PCManFM-Qt, which in other cases seems to be necessary). Having looked at the question How to access a usb flash drive from the terminal?, I tried lsblk, but the e-reader doesn't seem to be listed:

A: As hinted in the comments by user535733, plugging in the e-reader creates a directory in /run/user/`id -u`/gvfs for the e-reader's filesystem. The name of the new directory (mtp:host=Boyue_Likebook-T80D_CNBT80D20200601412 in my case) seems to be consistent for a given device, even after the host machine reboots.
The underlying protocol here seems to be Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), as opposed to the more familiar USB mass storage.

The 1836 Tithe Commutation Act established a process whereby the tithe, in no matter what form it was paid, would be for ever extinguished [commuted] and replaced by a monetary payment, known as the tithe rent-charge. Before the act tithe could be paid, 'in kind', with actual agricultural produce, or by a traditional monetary substitute known as a modus, or by a locally agreed monetary payment, known as a composition. All this was to be swept away and replaced with the rent-charge which could be varied annually.
The process was conducted parish by parish and the first step was to secure the agreement between the landowners and the rector as to the amount of tithe that had been paid in the seven years before Christmas 1835. After the agreement had been agreed the next thing to do was to divide [apportion] the rent-charge between the landowners. In the following pages I will show how this was done in practice.
Old habits died hard and even though the rent-charge had replaced the tithe 23 years before Martin still referred to it as the 'tithe',

As an act of parliament the Tithe Commutation Act is written as a series of clauses. This gives the impression that the process of commutation follows an algorithmic path. One stage following another. The appointment of the valuer appears to occur a long way down the pathway; it's clear though that he was integral to all stages of the agreement and must have been appointed at the earliest oppertunity.
Over the next few pages I describe the various parts of tithe commutation.

BRU makes progress toward restart of passenger flights
Updated at 6;30 a.m., PDT
Brussels Zaventem airport (BRU) has received the go-ahead from fire services and the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) for a partial restart of passenger flights at the airport.
The airport made the announcement at approximately 3:45 p.m., Brussels time on Friday but noted that authorities have yet to make a formal decision on the restart date.
Over the past several Brussels Airport Company, public fire services, the BCAA, federal police and defense officials have thoroughly evaluated Tuesday's large-scale trial run of temporary facilities. Brussels Airport Company has been actively handling the action items of this evaluation for which last night the public fire services and BCAA gave their approval for a restart.
"The airport is thus technically ready for a restart of passenger flights in the temporary infrastructure foreseen for check-in," airport officials said in a news release, noting that the provisional infrastructure "[W]ould allow the airport to receive 800 departing passengers per hour, or 2.5 million departing passengers a year [or] about 20% of the normal capacity at Brussels Airport."
Arriving passengers will still go through the usual baggage reclaim and arrivals in the terminal, as that area was only slightly damaged and has since been restored for use.
The final step for the restart is the formal political approval.
Airport officials began erecting temporary constructions on March 24 and hundreds of airport employees returned to the airport on Tuesday to take part in a large-scale test of the temporary facilities. The airport also designed additional security measures that will be implemented at all Belgian airports on the orders of the government.

Making the most of Dubai
This is a compilation of a five-part series on visiting Dubai, UAE. The most amazing thing about Dubai - the bustling, modern city on the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates - is that as recently as 50 years ago, almost none of what is there today even existed.
REVIEW: Emirates chauffeur drive service
Experienced travelers know the benefits that come from traveling Business or First Class, particularly on long flights. More space to work or stretch out, better food and better treatment are but a few of the advantages. But passengers who travel in those upmarket cabins aboard U.A.E.-based Emirates enjoy some additional perks including complimentary chauffeur-driven transportation at both ends of their flight.
Traveling to Europe? Starting in 2021, you'll need to register first
Tourists headed for the Schengen area of Europe, which does not currently require visas for visitors from the U.S., Canada, and many other nations, will be required to register before traveling starting some time in early 2021.


Poultry are domesticated birds, especially fowl such as chickens, turkeys and quails, waterfowl such as ducks and geese and game, such as pheasants, pigeons, partridges and grouses. These birds may be bred for their meat, eggs and feathers and they are sometimes kept as pets. worldwide, chickens are the most commonly kept type of poultry both in terms of farming and domestically. The chicken farming industry is slowly moving away from 'battery' farm chickens and becoming more free range, with farmers believing keeping chickens in this way gives them a better taste to both their meat and eggs.

Q: How to implement IAsyncOperationWithProgress I'm porting some custom .NET streams to WINRT. Language is C#.
Is there some example implementation of IAsyncOperationWithProgress? Since Methods ReadAsync, WriteAsync from Windows.Storage.Streams require them. Custom WinRT streams implementations are welcomed also.
I found some C examples using create_async, but i'm looking to do this in C#, and i cannot find create_async in the Metro framework.
Thanks in advance

A: Here is an example of using IAsyncOperationWithProgress to display the progress of installing an XAP file programatically.  I'm pretty new to Win8 development so not sure if it's entirely idiomatic.
Note the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke to marshall the progress back to the UI thread.  Hope it helps:
private async void InstallApp(string name, Uri uri)
{
    try
    {
        StatusTextBlock.Text = "Installing app";
        var installTask = InstallationManager.AddPackageAsync(name, uri);

        installTask.Progress = (installResult, progress) => Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
        {
            StatusTextBlock.Text = "Progress: " + progress;
        });

        var result = await installTask;
        StatusTextBlock.Text = "Done: " + result.InstallState.ToString();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        StatusTextBlock.Text = "Failed to install: " + ex.Message;
    }
}

A: For C#, you should check out this //build talk on async programming.
If you're using high level C++, you should look at this article about how to do asynchronous operations in the PPL.
If you need to implement your own async operation from low level C++, you should look at the WRL::AsyncBase class.

Things I would have changed: Lets look at the can people.
What others should know: For those that can read. The can in the picture says FOR PCP RIFLES ONLY. So if you are downing these because you are shooting them out of a pump/break barrel/CO2, it may be operator malfunction. Just an observation based on facts.
The comment immediately below this one is from Woodys World. Get a chronograph.
The design, shape, length, and weight should identify this as a PCP bullet/pellet for PCP air rifles. There is a lot of the sides of this pellet contacting the barrels rifling as it moves thru the barrel, diminishing fps drastically. Not designed for pumps/CO2/breakbarrel air rifles. Definitely not for air pistols. This is primarily for the higher powered PCP air rifles. Despite just weighing 25.62 grains, and all that contact of thr barrels rifling, it would take a powerful slug of compressed air from the highest powered PCP's to give this respectable and useable fps. I echo: FOR PCP AIR RIFLES ONLY!
READ the tin : For PCP Rifles only! Get a chronograph. Woodys World.
Things I would have changed: Don't know what it would need changed to make it more accurate out of my Evinex AR-6.
Your Evanix AR-6 will not shoot this 25.62 grain bullet/pellet anywhere near 900 fps. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.
Does anyone know if this will fit in the BSA R10 SE magazine, based on personal experience ?
If it uses the same mag as the AT44, which I think it does, yes.
I have a Benjamin disco .22 will this pellets work on my rifle or will it damage it? I like to used it fir turkey hunting. thanks.
Certainly no harm in trying. I have a Maximus, which is basically the same gun as your Disco, it has no problem handling the JSB Monster 34 gr, or H+N Piledrivers, at 30 gr. That said, depending on your individual barrel, they might fit more or less tight, but, as I said, no harm in trying. If they shoot well you will be rewarded for your experiment with solid hits, good wind-bucking ability, and clean kills at a reasonable price per pellet. I get great 100 yd accuracy with the JSB 25.39 gr pellets, these just might do as well or better, especially in the copper coated variety.

UK Export Finance steps up space sector focus
by Caleb Henry — June 19, 2019
Adam Harris, head of civil, infrastructure and energy activity at U.K. Export Finance. Credit: UKEF
WASHINGTON — U.K. Export Finance's $325 million loan to Turkey this April is the most the agency's has ever provided for a space industry deal.
Britain's export credit agency has long discussed more involvement in the satellite industry, but didn't have any major deals to show for it until now.
Adam Harris, head of civil, infrastructure and energy activity at UKEF, says the agency's ability to support not just manufacturing but also launch and launch insurance has triggered increased demand for its financial services.
The Turksat-5A and -5B satellites are under construction by Airbus Defence and Space, which is building the satellites in the U.K. and France. Airbus' contract, worth nearly $500 million, includes a ground station, launch services and in-orbit delivery.
The U.K. finds itself at a crossroads, having established the goal of growing the nation's industry to comprise 10 percent of the global space economy by 2030, but also battling industry fears that Brexit will cost British companies access to European Union space programs. While the U.K.'s Harwell Space Cluster has attracted companies such as Oxford Space Systems, NanoAvionics and most recently hiSky, space software company Scisys left England for Ireland to preserve business within EU programs like Galileo and Copernicus.
Whatever the challenges, Harris says UKEF is ready now more than ever to support the British space industry.
How much space sector financing does UKEF do annually? Is that amount rising or falling, and why?
UKEF support for exports in the space sector varies due to the level of demand from U.K. exporters. Demand has risen in recent years, in part due to UKEF's ability to offer guarantees for financing a complete "wrap" that incorporates manufacture, launch and launch insurance. Recent increases in demand also reflect the growing strength of the U.K. space sector.
UKEF is keen to develop its profile and role in this sector given the U.K.'s competitive strength, and the part that UKEF could potentially play in supporting its future growth.
How much of a satellite or space product must be built in the U.K. for UKEF to support it?
As for all sectors, UKEF is able to consider support for contracts where a minimum of 20 percent of the contract value is sourced from the U.K. However, UKEF has recently run a consultation on its foreign content policy to make it more flexible and ensure we recognise the full contribution of the U.K. supply chain – we will be publishing the government's response in due course.
What percentage of U.K.-built satellites (in part or in whole) does UKEF support?
UKEF does not hold this data. As awareness of our offer increases over time we will be looking to strengthen that number though.
UKEF hasn't been that active in the space industry compared to the export credit agencies of France, the U.S. and Canada. What are you doing to change that?
It is true that UKEF has not previously been a major player in the financing of satellites. The recent support provided reflects our determination to develop the U.K. space sector more widely, and the sector's growing international success. Our project finance capability means that we are well placed to address some of the higher value and more complex structures we are now seeing in this sector.
The U.K. has several small launcher startups vying to do business. Will UKEF support them?
UKEF has a compelling offer for [small to medium enterprise] businesses covering credit insurance, working capital and buyer financing, and we welcome discussions on ways we can support launcher start-ups.
Does UKEF have a preference or responsibility to support small businesses, like the U.S. Ex-Im Bank, or does size not matter?
UKEF's mission is to ensure that no viable U.K. export fails for lack of finance or insurance from the private sector. UKEF helps U.K. companies, whatever their size to win, fulfill and get paid for export contracts.
Now that the U.S. Ex-Im Bank has a full board again, will business that could have come to the U.K. instead go to the U.S.?
UKEF's mandate remains the same, and we will continue to work with U.K. companies to ensure they win, fulfill and get paid for export contracts. We have a long history of working with U.S. Ex-Im to support projects in which there is both U.S. and U.K. supply, so [we] look forward to that collaboration continuing.
At least one British space company, Scisys, redomiciled in Ireland to stay in EU space programs. What would you tell other British space companies worried about losing business because of Brexit?
UKEF is working closely with other departments across government, in particular with the Department of International Trade, to ensure the transition for businesses is as smooth as possible. UKEF's mission is one that is good for all weathers: to ensure that no viable U.K. export fails for lack of finance or insurance.
UKEF's $325 million loan to Turkey's Ministry of Treasury and Finance is the agency's biggest space-industry loan. Will you do bigger than that?
We will consider all requests for our support on their merits! But certainly, there's no upper limit on our support provided it fits within our risk appetite.
Would UKEF support a broadband megaconstellation? Or is that too risky?
Again, we will consider all requests on their merits!

John Ameroso didn't hoe the rows of vegetables that help feed the Bronx at the Padre Plaza Success Garden in the borough's Mott Haven section. He didn't pick any tomatoes from the vines at the Brooklyn Rescue Mission's farm. And he didn't turn the composting bins that kept East New York Farms! fertile ground for collards, cilantro and chard.
But he's responsible for all of it, along with the rest of more than 18 tons of produce grown in city lots for market last year.
You have most likely never heard of Mr. Ameroso. Yet from a rubble-strewn vacant lot in Brooklyn where he showed New Yorkers how to grow food in 1976 to a three-acre stretch of Governors Island that he's helping to sow now, he has been behind nearly every organized attempt to grow and sell food in the city, as well as many of the city's best-known food organizations.
He was New York City's first extension agent focused on farming, and now probably its last one. Mr. Ameroso formally retired in March and will spend the 2010 growing season removing himself from the daily work of city farms and making sure his colleagues — many of whom he's trained — can carry on without him.
Mr. Ameroso's work, as a Cornell University Cooperative Extension agent, started in 1976, when Representative Fred Richmond, Democrat of Brooklyn, — a gardening enthusiast who'd installed a vegetable plot outside his Capitol Hill office — got money for an extension office in New York City, to show that urban food gardens could help feed inner-city neighborhoods. By 1994, the project, called the Urban Gardening Program, had expanded to 23 cities and was producing $16 million worth of food each year.
Its progeny have continued in all five boroughs.
On Decatur Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the Brooklyn Rescue Mission's managers were recently looking for help transplanting a fig tree.
"We've got to move this," said the Rev. DeVanie Jackson, gesturing at the potted sapling. "You've got to recommend a spot." Ms. Jackson and her husband, Robert, have enlisted Mr. Ameroso's help since 2005, when they began growing vegetables to make up for the poor quality of food being delivered to their food pantry. By last year, they were supplying the neighborhood's weekly farmers' market (which they helped found) and an upscale pizza spot, Saraghina, with herbs, vegetables and figs.
"Which way is your sun going?" asked Mr. Ameroso reproachfully. "It goes that way," he said, drawing an arc tracing the sun's likely path through the sky. The best location would be wherever the tree would get the most light — something Mr. Ameroso clearly thought should have been obvious. "How long have you been here?" he asked. Ms. Jackson laughed, and asked his advice on handling slugs. She'd heard she could put out a pan of beer, which would attract and then drown the pests.
Ms. Jackson raised her eyebrows.
"I'm not making it up!" he said.
In Far Rockaway, Queens, Mr. Ameroso and his colleague, Robert Lewis, special assistant for market development of New York State's Department of Agriculture and Markets, pulled up to the Culinary Kids Urban Farm at Beach 31st Street and Seagirt Avenue. The corner lot held urban farming paraphernalia: a rounded greenhouse, a narrow chicken coop, wood-framed vegetable beds. But what caught Mr. Ameroso's attention was a crew of volunteers building a roofed structure.
His response to frippery like gazebos isn't surprising, given his rugged training grounds.
The son of a welder and supermarket cashier, Mr. Ameroso has spent little time in tranquil settings since getting an agricultural degree from the University of Georgia in 1968. After college he worked for the International Voluntary Service teaching farmers to grow hybrid rice in the Mekong Delta during the war. Returning to the States in 1972, he took odd jobs for four years until he went to work in Brooklyn.
Growing food was always what Mr. Ameroso cared about, though beautification efforts would insinuate themselves. "To me the exciting stuff was, people are producing food to produce it, not, 'Oh, look at how pretty my flowers are,' " Mr. Ameroso said, trundling along the Gowanus Expressway in his two-tone Ford Ranger pickup to a farm he helps manage in Staten Island.
In 1994, federal money for New York's urban food production dropped by 80 percent, forcing the extension to cobble together a salary line for Mr. Ameroso from various projects. To qualify for economic development money he began growing food for sale, an impetus to New York's contemporary food movement.
Mr. Ameroso and a group of other food activists — Mr. Lewis, Peter Mann, Kathy Lawrence and Joan Gussow — embarked on project after project, while Mr. Ameroso handled the dirty business of actually growing food.
In 1995, they helped found Just Food, a nonprofit group that now offers technical assistance to urban growers and cooking and nutrition education, and is an advocate for the use of local food. Mr. Ameroso still sits on its board and helped start its first big program, City Farms. Then came the New Farmer Development Project, in 2000, to find land upstate for farmers from the city. In the early 2000s, he helped found the city's two largest urban farm projects, East New York Farms! and Added Value.
Now that Mr. Ameroso is retiring, what will the city's farmers do without him?
Cornell will probably transfer some of Mr. Ameroso's duties to other agents, said Don Tobias, executive director of the cooperative extension in New York City. And Mr. Ameroso may consult on a part-time basis. Without a program or funding line dedicated to urban agriculture, however, the era when one phone call could bring time-tested food-growing advice to your doorstep may be ending.
But Mr. Ameroso has trained a steady stream of interns, who today help run urban agriculture efforts across the country. (He's married to one of his first interns, Linda.) And with Mr. Ameroso's help, Just Food's City Farms program has trained 29 gardeners as urban agriculture experts so they can operate as an informal extension office. Mr. Ameroso hopes that will be enough to let them continue without him.
The farmers aren't so sure.

The Havasu Triathlon is pleased to welcome the Conference Championships for the Mountain Collegiate Triathlon Conference.
All collegiate athletes are welcome to participate in the Havasu Triathlon collegiate division and enter at the discounted rate. Team scoring is limited to MCTC teams. Only MCTC member students are eligible for conference championships awards.
Special discounted entry fees are being offered to Collegiate students. We do not offer team discounts because the entry fee is discounted for all collegiate students who enter the Sprint or Olympic Triathlon. Please note that the discounted entry fee ends on March 10. After that time the full entry fee will be charged due to the fact that we need all collegiate entries by March 10 so as to properly seed the event.
Approximately 10 days before the event we will email all participating teams and request that each team seed their athletes. Waves and who is in each wave will be determined by the MCTC and individual teams. The Havasu Triathlon will only ask for seeding information from each team based on the regulations supplied by the MCTC.
Why do we wait until shortly before the event? Typically it is often not until shortly before the event that team attendance is finally determined. This way we get a final seeding shortly before the race and team captains/coaches only have to seed the race once.
Wave start lists will be posted as soon as we receive the information back from the team. Usually 3 - 5 days before the event.
Collegiate division awards will be given out to the top collegiate athletes. The Collegiate awards are supplied by USAT and MCTC.
Collegiate athletes in the Olympic race will have their own waves and will be scored as their own division. Collegiate athletes entering the Collegiate Division in the Olympic Triathlon will not be scored in the age group divisions. Collegiate athletes, however, are welcome to enter the sprint triathlon and will be scored as age groupers. Note that sprint participants may not score points for their collegiate team.
Only those collegiate athletes who are members of MCTC teams and have entered the Collegiate Division of the International Triathlon will be scored for Conference Championship standings.
Collegiate athletes who not enrolled at member schools of the Mountain Collegiate Triathlon Conference are welcome to participate. Those athletes will be eligible for individual awards in the Collegiate Division but will not be scored as part of the Conference Championships.
All athletes, no matter age or collegiate affiliation are welcome to compete in the Havasu Triathlon. To be eligible for the collegiate wave you must be enrolled full time in a college or university and, if your college or university has a triathlon organization, you must be a member of that organization. If you do not meet that criteria please enter the age group divisions of the Havasu Triathlon.
Note: Collegiate teams - please help us score the event correctly by making sure your athletes are being timed in the correct event. In the past, athletes who have entered the international distance have dropped down to the sprint distance without telling us. The computer only knows what it is told and scored that person as an International distance athlete. Obviously this drastically affects results. Please make sure your athletes tell us if they are changing races and make sure that you check the results when posted to make sure the results are correct.

AMIN BHATIA composer
John Woo's Once A Thief
This 1996 made for TV movie is a remake of the original Chinese release directed by John Woo. The signature John Woo action sequences of Once a Thief went on to inspire a television series of the same name. Amin Bhatia was the music composer for both the movie and the series.
"John Woo's Once a Thief" tells the story of two young refugees from a criminal empire in Hong Kong. It stars Sandrine Holt, Ivan Sergei, Nicholas Lea, and Jennifer Dale as "The Director". Cutting-edge worlds, fusing romance, action and humor, all in the signature style of John Woo, the man who broke down the wall between the action movie and the art film.
Unlike a conventional series that establishes one musical style and direction, each of the 22 episodes conveyed a different musical genre. Styles included hip hop, industrial, avant garde, jazz, film noire, rave, and even bachelor pad lounge. Producers William Laurin and Glenn Davis, being very musically literate, had specific requests for each week's score. With help from programmers Gaz Mellen, and Byron Wong, Amin underscored each week learning about new musical styles on the fly. "Each spotting session was a foray into some new uncharted territory for me" recalls Amin. "One week it was 1940's film noir. The following week I had to come up with military stripper music. It was a riot!"
The scores were mixed and edited by David Greene and his staff at Magnetic Audio who also served as the series Executive Music Consultant. Songs were under the supervision of Janet York and Michael Perlmutter of S.L. Feldman and Associates. The series theme was composed by Psychic Mambo.
"John Woo's Once a Thief" is an Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc production, in syndication worldwide.

Dundee Named Europe's Most Visionary Electric Vehicle City
Dundee has been named as the most visionary city in Europe for electric vehicles at a ceremony in Kobe, Japan.
The World Electric Vehicle Association presented Dundee City Council with an E-visionary award for its pioneering initiatives to encourage the use of electric vehicles.
The award was collected by Dr. David Beeton in recognition of Urban Foresight's work to help make the city an electric vehicle hotspot. Dundee has firmly established itself at the vanguard of the Scottish Government's ambition to phase out sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2032. Dundee City Council has developed the UK's largest public sector fleet of clean vehicles, with almost 40 per cent of cars and vans being electric. Additionally, 15 per cent of taxis are also now electric and are able to plug-in at the UK's first solar-powered charging hubs.
Work began last week on Dundee's fourth electric vehicle charging hub, with further hubs planned at the city's three main multi-storey car parks. Additional electric and hydrogen buses will soon be on the road and the city's Mobility Innovation Living Lab (The MILL) recently launched a series of pilot projects to trial new electric vehicle technologies and services.
Councillor Lynne Short, said: "We are truly honoured to receive this prestigious award. It's fantastic that our work to improve transport and air quality for the people of Dundee is also providing inspiration for other cities around the world."
Dr David Beeton says, "It's great to get global recognition for the leadership and ambition demonstrated in Dundee on electric vehicles. The city is truly buzzing at the moment and hopefully this award will help Scotland to accelerate towards a future that is free from fossil fuels."
These projects are part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Dundee City Council, Transport Scotland and the UK Government's Office for Low Emission Vehicles.

Celebrating Five Years of Joyful Learning: 2020 Annual Report
Jul 13, 2021 | Luminos Fund | In the News
At the Luminos Fund, we envision a world where no child is ever denied an education. We believe all children should have the opportunity to learn to read. This vision should not be a bold idea.
On the contrary, every child, whether they are born in Boston, Massachusetts or Awassa, Ethiopia, deserves to experience joyful, rich education—and the power of knowing how to read, write, and do math. However, the tragic global reality is that our vision of basic education for all, no matter their circumstances, is an ambitious goal. Even before COVID-19, millions were denied an education, often due to crisis, poverty, and discrimination. Joyful learning for all has been the Luminos Fund's sole focus for five years and, today, our education mission is more important and urgent than ever.
2021 marks Luminos' fifth anniversary, providing us with an opportunity to pause and reflect on just how far we have come, and to look to the future. To date, as highlighted in our new Annual Report, we have served 152,051 students, trained 20,599 teachers, supported 273,573 parents and community members, and partnered with 26 local organizations. We are incredibly proud of these numbers because they represent more than just statics. Each number is an individual life, uniquely supported and encouraged on the path to lifelong learning.
They are students like Maima in Liberia, who used to sell bread to support her family and now loves learning to read thanks to her tireless Second Chance teacher, James. They are teachers like Lominas in Ethiopia, who discovered a love of teaching math and seeing students like nine-year-old Absera master basic skills. They are parents like Sola in Lebanon, who helped her children and other students in Shatila Refugee Camp continue to learn in innovative ways during COVID-19 school closures. We share these stories and more in our 2020 Annual Report, illuminating the Luminos Fund's expansive impact on a personal level.
Over the past five years, our programs have expanded to three countries: Ethiopia, Lebanon, and Liberia. In addition to managing classrooms directly, we have continued to strengthen our partnerships with governments to build educational capacity at national, regional, and local levels and support Ministries of Education to adopt our model into mainstream government schools. Just this year in Lebanon, we supported the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in the digitization of key social-emotional learning (SEL) materials for national use—materials that will help both students and teachers, especially during COVID-19.
Our programs prove that rich, five-senses learning can be achieved in the poorest corners of the globe. At this critical moment in history, the global community must not narrow its vision of what is possible for educating children. COVID-19 threatens decades of progress in education, with heartbreaking impact on millions of children and families. With scarcely nine years until 2030 and the end of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), will the world rise to meet this moment?
Today calls for bold ambition to revolutionize education.
Luminos is meeting this call, equipped with a proven strategy to transform the way children learn to read and do math. With these essential skills, the door to opportunity opens. We can help millions of children. Thank you for joining us.

Q: Is it Ok to run 2nd Ethernet cable along the wall right on the top of 1st one? My router has 5 jacks :) so I want to place another (also flat) Ethernet cable along the same wall. Is it any danger of a quality loss if I place this 2nd cable on the top of the 1st one?
Or I'd better place 2nd one along the floor line (as 1st one goes along the ceiling line)?
Thanks

A: It will be fine to run them next to each other, especially for home use. Ethernet cables are designed to be very resistant to interference.

A: It should be fine - most ethernet cables are fairly resistant to interferance by design , and they're designed to be run together , in fact in corporate settings you might see DOZENS of them being run together.

I'd suggest whichever option thats logistically easier

More than 4.5 million people across the country have benefited from Project 1816, which is providing access to hundreds of doctors and medical workers in hospitals and medical centers in rural provinces and districts.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan presided over a congress held on May 30 by the Ministry of Health, to review Project 1816 for the period 2008-2010.
The project target is to help residents of rural areas to have access to hi-tech medical services and improved examination and treatment facilities in distant regions. It also helps reduce the pressure on central hospitals.
For instance, district Tay Giang is a poor border district of the central province of Quang Nam and has no hospital at all. Tay Giang residents have to ford streams and cross-forests to reach a hospital in the province.
Since the project began, Hospital C in Da Nang province has sent medical workers to transfer techniques and provide equipment and ambulances. Thanks to the project, people in Tay Giang do not need to go far for treatment.
Luong Ngoc Khue, head of the Health Examination and Treatment Department under Ministry of Health, said around 9,000 medical workers from large hospitals took turns to train their country counterparts across the country. Central hospital medics have provided examination and treatment to more than 4.5 million patients, conducted over 1,600 operations and saved hundreds of seriously ill people.
Moreover, they organized some 2,000 training and refresher courses for 52,000 district medical workers and transferred techniques to more than 25,000 workers.
Mr. Nhan applauded the ministry's initiative in implementation of the project, saying that this proved effective in helping the rural regions.
However, the project still had some shortcomings. The district hospitals lacked equipment, testing laboratories and skilled doctors.
Mr. Nhan directed the ministry to have clear targets such as making lists of hospitals' demands. He emphasized that the sector should build development strategies for the next 10 years as well as transfer techniques along with training of more personnel.
The implementation of project 1816 has contributed towards social and healthcare needs. Through the project, people in disadvantaged areas as well as the poor and ethnic minorities are able to access hi-tech medical services at low costs.

Chris Armas named Toronto FC Head Coach
January 13, 20215:00PM EST

Toronto FC announced today that Chris Armas has been named the 10th head coach in club history.
"I could not be more excited to join a club with Toronto FC's level of excellence and winning tradition and I will work tirelessly to uphold those standards," said Toronto FC Head Coach Chris Armas. "I'm grateful to Mr. Tanenbaum and to Bill Manning and Ali Curtis for their belief in me and for giving me this opportunity. As an opposing coach I felt the passion the fans and supporters bring to BMO Field. It is next level. I can't wait to put a team on the field that will not only make them proud with the way we play, but also with the way we run, battle and compete every minute of every game."
Armas, 48, joins Toronto FC after most recently serving as the head coach of the New York Red Bulls. Armas took over the Red Bulls on July 6, 2018 and finished that season with a record of 12-3-3, leading the Red Bulls to the 2018 Supporters' Shield and an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals. He departed the Red Bulls on September 4, 2020 with a record of 33-27-11 in all competitions while his teams averaged 1.61 points per game, (7th best all-time, minimum 50 MLS games managed). Armas originally served as an assistant coach under Jesse Marsch from 2015 until he took over head coaching duties following Marsch's departure. In Marsch and Armas' first season with the Red Bulls, the club won the 2015 Supporters' Shield.
"Chris has an excellent winning pedigree and is a fiery, competitive guy who wants his teams to play on the front foot. He is the right fit to build upon the foundation that's been established at TFC," said Toronto FC President Bill Manning. "Our fans are going to love his intensity and how that's going to translate into our team's style of play for years to come."
As a player, Armas is regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in MLS history. He played 12 years in the league, two with the LA Galaxy and 10 with the Chicago Fire. With the expansion Fire in 1998, Armas was a linchpin as Chicago won the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup double in their first season. During his decade long run in Chicago, Armas was a part of teams that won an MLS Cup (1998), the 2003 Supporters' Shield and four Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups (1998, 2000, 2003, 2006).
Armas is one of only five players in league history to have been named to the MLS Best XI five times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003). He was a six-time MLS All-Star (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004) and was named the 2003 MLS Comeback Player of the Year. Armas earned 66 caps for the U.S. National Team and won two Concacaf Gold Cups (2002, 2005). He was named U.S. Soccer's Male Athlete of the Year in 2000.
"During my career, I have been fortunate to have had the experience of interacting with football professionals both domestic and abroad. The integrity, authenticity, and professionalism that Chris possesses is unmatched when I think of professionals in the game. Having gone through this process before, I know that Chris will be an excellent coach for the club. While I have known Chris over the years, during the interview process, he conveyed perspective, vision, and coaching qualities, which solidified our belief in him as the top candidate," said Toronto FC General Manager Ali Curtis. "I am excited about his intensity, passion, tactics, and way of teaching. The resources and support that we will provide to Chris will be different than his previous roles, which we know will be beneficial to his vision and our success. There has never been a moment in the history of sports like we are in now. We are a team that strives to win championships, and Chris is the ideal coach to lead us now, and in the future."
Armas' coaching staff will be announced at a later date.
