UFC fighter asks for help finding teen daughter who vanished in Alabama
A mixed martial artist is asking for the public's help finding his teen daughter after Auburn, Alabama, police said her vehicle was discovered abandoned an hour south, in Montgomery.
No one has heard from Aniah Blanchard since the 19-year-old communicated with a friend just before midnight Wednesday, the Auburn Police Department said in a statement .
Before it was found in Montgomery on Friday, her car was last seen about 12:30 a.m. (1:30 a.m. ET) Thursday near the intersection of Interstate 85 and South College Street, a main thoroughfare into downtown Auburn.
"At this point, there is no evidence of foul play; however, the investigation will continue until her whereabouts are determined," the statement said.
Blanchard is a black woman with a light complexion. She stands 5-foot-6-inches tall, weighs about 125 pounds and was last seen wearing a black dress, tan duck boots and black stockings.
After receiving a tip, police located her black 2017 Honda CR-V on Friday evening at an apartment complex off the busy Atlanta Highway, in the eastern part of the Alabama capital.
The Honda showed damage to the front right fender and scrapes on the passenger-side door. Police said the vehicle had no damage when it was last seen Wednesday and asked anyone with information on Blanchard's disappearance or on the damage to the SUV to contact them.
Blanchard is the daughter of fighter Walt Harris, 36, ranked No. 10 among Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweights.
In posts on Instagram and Twitter, Harris pleaded for the public's help in finding his daughter. The married father of four lives in Homewood, outside Birmingham.
Blanchard attends Southern Union, a state community college with multiple campuses in East Alabama.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Aniah and her family during this time," the school said on its Facebook page.
The college and the family separately warned the public about a fraudulent GoFundMe page collecting donations to assist in finding the young woman.

Raw Materials Versus Recycling – Which Is Better?
Recycling, of course, has lots of benefits such as reducing landfill space and conserving resources, but how much energy is actually saved by recycling? Compared to creating an item from the raw material, how much energy is used in creating a recycled item?
Even if you take all your recycling by car to the collection centre, the benefits still seem to add up. A Carbon Unit (CU) equals 1 kilogram of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

Big Bertha Billboard, M1, S E Queensland
Address: M1 Motorway, Beenleigh North, Brisbane
Project Type: Advertising Billboard
Big Bertha is the pre-eminent spectacular billboard on the M1, situated ideally at Beenleigh North between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The billboard benefits from being situated immediately after north bound traffic reduces speed from 110kmph to 100kmph and before the exit to the Logan Motorway, and similarly just before south bound traffic is able to increase speed to 110 kmph. It is also the first billboard on the M1 to welcome the Logan Motorway vehicles joining the M1 heading south.
Big Bertha is also unique in its tenure, as it was established with a 99 year lease at $1.00 per annum rental (which rental has been pre-paid!). It presently has approximately 74 years left to run. The billboard is not subject to Council Rates or Main Roads levies. The owners play no role whatsoever in the sale of advertising, or the printing, installation or removal of advertisements. The site is currently under management contract with the public advertising group APN Outdoor.
There is also a significant potential upside in income in years to come.
The Reid family own Big Bertha in partnership with the Herron family. It has been agreed to consider a sale of the asset, or preferably the introduction of a joint venture partner. Enquiries may be directed to mike@reidrobertson.com.au.

#Ransomware #Endpoint Detection and Response #featured
By Bitdefender Enterprise / Feb 14, 2022
What Are The Biggest Cyber Threats of The Future?
Cybersecurity was a growing concern even before the Internet became the dominant form of communication. Now with the exponential growth of economic activity taking place solely online, cyberthreats to business, and particularly small business, will only grow in the coming years.
Cybercrime is on the rise
Data by RiskIQ suggests cybercrime costs organizations $2.9 million every minute, and major businesses lose $25 per minute as a result of data breaches. Despite the warning signs, most businesses are not prepared to deal with cyber threats. Research from Accenture shows nearly 70% of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are increasing and, according to Varonis, only 5% of companies' data is properly protected.
Research shows things are only going to get worse. "Cybercrime has been on an ascending pace since the widespread adoption of commercial and residential Internet," says cybersecurity expert Bogdan Botezatu, director of threat research at Bitdefender. "Along with a sharp increase in the number of cyber attacks, there's also a growing diversity in the types of cyber threats, making it difficult to effectively protect important data moving forward."
"Ransomware attacks have become mainstream with the proliferation of ransomware-as-a-service, where cyber-criminal groups create and market ransomware to affiliates," he explains.
"Data breaches have also become the new normal as attackers are capitalizing on illegally-gained access to steal customer information, intellectual property or trade secrets to be sold or exchanged in specialized underground forums."
Cyber threats will continue to plague businesses
The pandemic has exacerbated the cyber threat problem, as companies of all sizes turned to remote work. Work-from-home is likely to stay in the foreseeable future, so these problems will persist, Botezatu says.
Easy Access: "Work-from-home has forced companies to open up access to previously-private areas of the infrastructure. Either through cloud adoption or through more relaxed access policies, companies allow workers outside the premises to interact with data and processes, which may negatively impact business security and confidentiality."
Human Factor: "Users working from home are often more likely to take security less seriously and lack the security insight at the network level."
More Vulnerabilities: "Combined with a plethora of IoT devices and misconfigured networking equipment at the personal network, vulnerabilities at the employee's end can have nefarious consequences on business security and safety."
New Avenues of Attack: "Access control, outdated software, or improperly exposed services across the network can open new avenues of attack. Endpoint risk analytics and security auditing play a key role in identifying misconfiguration and plugging the gap before attackers gain access to the network."
The future victims
While most industries experience some form of cyber threats, certain sectors need to be extra cautious as they tend to be more affected than others. "Hospitals, critical infrastructure, transportation, and education are some of the most frequently targeted industries," Botezatu says.
Take healthcare, for example. "Ransomware attacks on the sector occurred at a rate of four incidents per week in the first half of 2021, and we know this is just the tip of the iceberg, as there is a significant absence of public reporting and available data in many regions," writes Stephane Duguin, CEO of the CyberPeace Institute.
"Health records are low-risk, high reward targets for cybercriminals — each record can fetch a high value on the underground market, and there is little chance of those responsible being caught," he explains.
Beyond these, "Cyber-attacks have also evolved into the realm of warfare as more and more nation states are arming themselves with digital weapons in the form of zero-day exploits and technology designed for espionage or data exfiltration," Botezatu says.
How to prepare for future cyber threats (now)
Looking at cyber threat statistics, fear is a natural response, but Botezatu assures businesses still have several ways to protect themselves. Here's what he suggests:
Machine learning: "The widespread adoption of machine learning has made it possible to detect fresh malware based on features seen in previous attacks," he says.
Implementation of such technology can reduce the human labor required for cyber surveillance and increase the efficiency with which businesses can defend themselves against cyber threats in the future.
Bug bounty programs: Bug bounty programs reward people for identifying or resolving bugs, creating a win-win situation for both the bug-finder and the organization that can now work on fixing the problem.
Testing or security audits: Testing and security audits work by recruiting people to put the organization's security system to test. "By employing ethical hackers to run penetration testing or security audits, companies can identify misconfiguration and security issues in products before they get actively exploited by cyber-criminals," Botezatu says.
How to deal with RaaS attacks
Ransomware attacks can be damaging for an organization of any size. Now, cybercriminals are creating and marketing ransomware to affiliates, or Ransomware-as-a-Service, which means their attacks are more ruthless and it's even harder to catch them.
This means a bleak future for all, unless both the business community and governments around the world adopt a more active policy. "Ransomware has become too large of a threat for any entity or sector to address alone; the magnitude of this challenge urgently demands united global action," says INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock.
Here public-private partnerships come into play. "As ransomware becomes an increasingly important risk for the economy and society, law enforcement organizations have started partnering with cybersecurity vendors to dismantle ransomware rings," Botezatu says. "This collaboration results in decryption tools that help victims recover from an attack without contributing to the financial success of the ransomware operator and affiliates."
"All investigations benefit from a strong cooperation between private and public sides, where we provide decryptors for victims, perform attack attribution, and open source our intelligence findings," says Bitdefender's Chief Security Strategist Alexandru Catalin Cosoi. "But all of that is useless if no one acts on it.. and cybercriminals walk away."
For many years, this worked: cybersecurity reacted to attacks and mitigated the damage caused. But now, it's not just the private-public partnerships that are changing this dynamic. Technological innovations also make it easier for defenders to proactively protect against emerging threats.
Leveraging AI and other tech like "Virtualization," "Blockchain Networks," and "Cloud and Quantum Computing" are among some of these future-looking tools. For instance, working with cloud computing can make data storage and protection easier, while AI can offer automatic threat detection programs to identify attacks before they happen.
How to future-proof your cyber defenses
With the ever-evolving threats, companies are advised to consider investing more in anti-ransomware protection as data encryption is just half of the story, Botezatu says.
"Victims often have their data exfiltrated and become subject to additional extortion, legal obligation, and ultimately, loss of reputation and/or business. Investing in multi-layered cyber-security defense increases the cost for cyber-criminals and decreases the likelihood of a successful attack," he adds.
"Sophisticated attacks designed to evade security technology detection often mimic 'normal' processes or execute in multiple stages through multiple vectors including endpoints, networks, supply chains, hosted IT and cloud services," Botezatu says.
"Bitdefender XEDR thwarts complex attacks by ingesting, examining, and correlating telemetry across endpoints to detect indicators of compromise (IOCs), APT techniques, malware signatures, vulnerabilities, and abnormal behaviors." This advanced monitoring automates early detection of attack scenarios, providing security and IT staff with a single dashboard view wherever the attack started.

[Review of] William Dalrymple and Anita Anand's "Koh-i-Noor: The History of the World's Most Infamous Diamond"
The following review is illustrated with images from our own website (except for the first, which shows the cover of the book under review). Click on them for the essays in which they occur, and for more information about their sources.
"The Jewel in the Throne"
At the beginning of his history of the fabulous Koh-i-Noor diamond, William Dalrymple reports that "until the discovery of diamond mines in Brazil in 1725, with the sole exception of a seam of diamond crystal fountains of Borneo, all the world's diamonds came from India" (19). Inevitably, then, much of what follows takes place on the subcontinent. In the first section, entitled "The Jewel in the Throne," Dalrymple guides us through this early part of its story with his usual flair. Legend has it that diamonds were first mined in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh. In pre-historic times, Lord Krishna was associated with the gem and Dalrymple ably narrates the various stories and myths in which diamonds are involved. They feature even in in the Hindu religious texts, the Puranas, which were subsequently studied in great detail. There were also the ratnashastras, texts concerned with the science of gems. Dalrymple explains that the gems "do not just appear in the mythology and manuals of ancient India, they are also an almost obsessive theme in ancient Indian plays and poetry written in Sanskrit"; even austere Buddhist literature, with its insistence on poverty and denial, "is pervaded with gemmological imagery" (26).
In these ancient times, diamonds were believed to have been embedded in the carved eyes of gods in South Indian temples. India became famous for such treasures, and when the Muslim invaders arrived, they were entranced. The most famous of all the diamonds in India was called the Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light." As Dalrymple admits, its early history is complex and conjectural, but at last it reached Babur (1483-1530), a descendant of Genghiz Khan who conquered Central Asia and established the Mughal Dynasty in India. He, then, was one of the first possessors of the Koh-i-Noor. Subsequently, the gem passed on to the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan who embedded it in his Peacock Throne. In the declining years of the Mughal Empire, Nader Shah of Persia attacked the country. He looted the Peacock Throne, and acquired the Koh-i-Noor. It eventually fell into the hands of Afghans from whom it was retrieved by the Sikh ruler, Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It was he who made Koh-i-Noor extraordinarily famous. He showed it to various jewellers who all certified that it was a unique gem. Ranjit Singh took great care of it, and throughout his life maintained its safety and integrity, regarding it as a symbol of the expanding empire of the Sikhs. According to Dalrymple, after coming to the throne, Ranjit Singh, who "had won back from the Afghan Durrani dynasty all the Indian lands they had seized since the time of Ahmad Shah ..., and "conquered all the Durrani territories as far as the Khyber Pass ... seems to have regarded his seizure of the Durrani's dynastic diamond as his crowning achievement, the seal on his status as the successor to the fallen dynasty" (120). On 17 August 1835, however, he suffered from a massive stroke and died soon afterwards.
Anita Anand, Dalrymple's co-author, takes up the story of the Koh-i-Noor from this point onwards, as it comes into the hands of the British. We are on safer territory here, where historical facts can be verified. She starts by relaying a graphic contemporary description of Ranjit Singh's funeral, in all its gruesome detail. It was attended by thousands of mourners who watched (and smelled) the burning of a famous Maharaja: the palace was filled with "the scent of burning flesh and sandalwood." Anand draws on "comprehensive accounts of the numerous ceremonies performed for the dead king" (139). These included the rites that his various wives (now widows) went through, culminating in "sati" — dying on the burning pyre of their dead husband. As for Ranjit Singh's army, it fell into disarray. Strangely for a Sikh, before he died, Ranjit Singh had expressed the wish that his most precious possession, the Koh-in Noor iself, should be given to the sacred Hindu temple Jagannath in Puri, a town situated in Odisha on the eastern coast. The temple had been built by the legendary Hindu King Indrayamuna. But Ranjit Singh's eldest son Kharak Singh who had "grown up seeing his father with the Koh-Noor strapped to his biceps" (147), decided otherwise. Although he and other successors of Ranjit Singh were murdered, one after the other, the royal line clung to the royal throne — and the Koh-Noor. Finally it reached his five-year-old son Duleep Singh, as the Maharaja of Lahore.
Lord Dalhousie, as he is remembered in a carved medallion on the façade of Mumbai's main station.
This is the point at which the story of the diamond enters on a new phase, and becomes a contentious one involving the British. The colonial powers had grown suspicious of the power of the Sikhs even though they had defeated them in the two Anglo-Sikh wars. They took control of the young emperor Duleep Singh, and made Ranjit Singh's widow Jind Kaur the Royal Regent. She took care of the little boy and supervised his upbringing. She told him of the glories of the Sikh empire that he had inherited. Lord Dalhousie, then Governor-General of India, meanwhile felt that the Sikhs would try to regain their former glories under their new emperor, even though he was so young. Dalhousie decided to break up their empire. Consequently, the British imprisoned Jind Kaur and separated her from her son. She was not allowed to see him for about eleven years. Duleep Singh was asked to sign papers in which he handed over his powers over the Sikh regions in India. He was also made to surrender the Koh-i-Noor. Dalhousie wrote: "The Koh-i-Noor had become with the lapse of ages a sort of historical emblem of conquest in India. It has now found its proper resting place" (qtd. p. 204). It was not just a matter of asserting control: the British wanted very much to possess this jewel because this would be a welcome addition to the Crown's coffers. It had immense symbolic value too. The Delhi Gazette said: "It is hoped [it] will ere long, as one of the splendid trophies of our military valour, be brought to England in attention of the glory of our arms in India" (qtd. p. 193).
An illustration from the Harper's edition of Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone (1874), largely inspired by the celebrated diamond and the myth and mystery surrounding it.
Dulip Singh himself then became a hostage: in his attempt to remove all traces of Sikh power in India, Dalhousie decided to prepare the lad for life in England. He was put under the care of the Scottish doctor, John Spencer Login, and his wife Lena. The boy was to be fully anglicised and converted to Christianity. He would not be allowed to see his mother almost till the end of her life, and became, in effect, an honorary Englishman. It is all worse than questionable, but Dalhousie believed that Duleep Singh "would in time grow to be to be grateful for what the British had done for him: "he will have a good and regular stipend, ('without income tax') all his life and will die in his bed like a gentleman, which under other circumstances, he certainly would not have done" (qtd. p.193) The damning fact is that no choice was involved: as Lloyd's Weekly noted at the time, Duleep Singh was made to sign the paper as Lord Dalhousie directed him, "quite regardless of its contents" (qtd. p. 203).
Duleep Singh was, in fact, a pawn in this cruel game, played partly for the personal gain of Dalhousie. He wanted to present the diamond to Queen Victoria personally, mistakenly believing that he could take the credit of giving the jewel to the Queen. But, as Lloyd's Weekly also pointed out, he was not in a position to do so. He was merely a civil servant. He had "no legal right" (203) to make a gift of the precious gem. "The diamond, as with all else in the conquered territory of Punjab, belonged to the East India Company" (203). Finally, the Company itself claimed the doubtful privilege of presenting it to the Queen.
Arrangements were soon made to move the Koh-i-Noor to England. Extraordinary precautions were taken for its perilous journey across India. Finally, it reached Bombay. Then on 6 April 1850, the gem was taken aboard the ship Medea under a seasoned naval commander, Captain William Lockyer. But the bad luck associated with its removal now became apparent. Within about ten days' of setting sail the crew was struck by cholera. So the ship first went to Mauritius, where the authorities were reluctant to accept it. After a stormy voyage, the ship finally reached Plymouth on 30 June 1850. Newspapers greeted the arrival of the Koh-i-Noor with glee, but it was not unloaded there. It went on to Portsmouth where Lord Onslow, private secretary to the chairman of the East India Company, waited to receive the gem. It was then taken to London and arrived at its final destination, the headquarters of the East India Company in Leadenhall Street. The Company's chairman, John Shepherd, accepted the gem on behalf of the queen. However treacherously acquired, it was now in the very heart of Victorian England.
Yet there were still problems. While all this was going on, Queen Victoria had to visit her dying uncle in Cambridge House in Piccadilly. After the visit, while she was leaving the house, the Queen suffered one of several attempts on her life: a smartly dressed man approached the carriage, and "struck her head with a thin black cane. The blow was hard enough to crush her bonnet and draw blood" (214). Another ill omen, perhaps? The attacker, Robert Francis Pate, who was an ex-army officer, appeared to have no apparent motive. Then, two days later, when the queen wrote in her diary that the Koh-i-Noor was presented to her by members of the East India Company, she seemed personally unimpressed by it: "Unfortunately it is not set 'à jour,' & badly cut, which spoils the effect," she wrote in her journal (qtd. p. 216).
The India Court in the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Nevertheless, Queen Victoria did express great joy and pride when the Koh-i-Noor was finally to go on public show. On the morning of the Great Exhibition she wrote in her journal, "this day is one of the greatest and most glorious in our lives . . . it is a day which makes my heart swell with thankfulness..." (219). Both she and Prince Albert had hoped that the success of the exhibition would increase the popularity of Albert, who was regarded as an upstart from a tiny German principality. Up until now, the British parliament had treated him with condescension, reducing his royal allowance from £50,000 to £30,000, and refusing to grant him a peerage. Lord Melbourne "had personally thwarted the queen's desire to give her husband the title of "king consort'" (220). In the Great Exhibition, the Koh-i-Noor was of course the central attraction, and the public was drawn to it, but not everyone was impressed. The Illustrated London News "expressed the disappointment of many: "the Koh-i-Noor is not cut in the best form for exhibiting its purity and lustre, and will therefore disappoint many, if not all of those who so anxiously press forward to see it'" (223). Every effort was made to display it to better advantage, without much success. In October when the Exhibition ended, the renowned diamond was cut to improve its quality, at enormous cost. Substantially diminished, it was placed in safe keeping.
Franz Xavier Winterhalter's portrait of Duleep Singh, 1854,hanging in the corridor of the Durbar Wing at Osborne, on the Isle of Wight.
On 8 March 1853, Duleep Singh, aged fourteen and still in India, converted to Christianity. Punjab "greeted the news of Duleep's conversion with grief rather than anger. The feared uprising did not occur. The behemoth truly did not know its own strength" (240). The young Maharaja was growing curious about the queen and expressed his desire to visit her in England. Arrangements were made for the long journey. Soon after he landed in England, Queen Victoria saw him and took to him at once. She wrote in her journal, "he is extremely handsome and speaks English perfectly, and has a pretty, graceful manner. He was beautifully dressed and covered with diamonds (243). Duleep became a member of the royal household, and Victoria "was deeply touched by the kindness Duleep showed her children, particularly her youngest [and sick] son Prince Leopold" (243). To do her credit, she was conscious that Duleep had had to surrender the Koh-in-Noor and felt uneasy about it, but when he met her, he only showed respect to her. Allowed to hold the gem, he bowed before her and said, "It is to me, Ma'am, the greatest pleasure thus to have the opportunity, as a loyal subject, of myself, tendering to my Sovereign—the Koh-in-Noor!!" (247). This was an informal affair, but Victoria's conscience was salved. She began to wear the legendary gem, and did so on a visit to France in 1855, when the crown with this inset jewel attracted much attention.
For all Anand's efforts, the rest of the Koh-in-Noor's tale is rather anti-climactic. Victoria's prolonged mourning after Prince Albert's death in 1861 gave her little occasion to flaunt the looted gem, although she did wear it for the opening of Parliament. As for Duleep Singh, after having been allowed to visit his mother, and then bring her back and take care of her close to his own exclusive address near Hyde Park, he himself became restive: Anand tells us that in the time leading up to her death Jind Kaur "filled her son's ears with tales of his 'stolen' Koh-i-Noor," so that he "slowly changed, turning from a favourite pet of the royal court into a man who dared to defy its wishes" (258). Having married a young German Ethiopian woman who bore him several children, he tried to flee to India but he and his family were arrested in Aden. He died alone in a shabby Parisian hotel.
So far as the Koh-i-Noor is concerned, by now women were thought to be immune to the misfortune it was reputed to bring, so it passed from Queen Victoria to her daughter-in-law, Queen Alexandria, who had a special passion for jewels. Subsequent consorts received it in turn, resetting it to their taste, although at our present Queen's coronation in June 1953, it was the Queen Mother rather than Queen Elizabeth II herself who wore it in her crown. In fact Queen Elizabeth II has never worn it: it stars only in the display of other crown jewels at the Jewel House in the Tower of London. So far, calls for its return to India, or to Pakistan and Afghanistan, have gone unheeded. Inevitably, the issue of the Elgin Marbles at the British Museum (and many other purloined treasures besides) comes into play here. Although neither Dalrymple nor Anand takes a strong stand on it — they are admirably objective — readers will probably form their own opinion about where the diamond should be. They will at least understand why there was a flood of protest in India in April 2016, when the Indian solicitor general, Ranjit Kumar, appeared to accept that the diamomd "had been 'gifted' to the East India Company" (280). In the end, the story of this glittering jewel is, after all, a sorry one.

GO/NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Hurt by the high fuel prices, Vinod Gore, a farmer in Go village in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, dumped his gasoline scooter for an electric model to underline how two-wheelers are driving the country the objective of the electrification of the vehicle fleet.
Gore's electric scooter, built by Indian start-up of Okinawa, runs for approximately 100-120 km (60-75 miles) on a single charge, making the cost of the sugar cane farmer less than 10 percent of the 150 rupees ($2.15) he would have otherwise spent on fuel for the same distance.
Prime minister Narendra Modi's government has set a target of electric vehicles to make up 30 percent of the new sales of cars and two-wheelers in 2030 of less than 1 percent today.
But her trying to convince car manufacturers to produce electric vehicles have flopped especially because there is no clear policy to reward local production and sales, the lack of a public charging infrastructure and high cost of the batteries.
Cost-conscious two-wheeler buyers such as Gore might be a better bet. It would also open a new market for international companies such as the japanese Yamaha Motor and Suzuki Motor, which is the preparation of the initial plans for the launch of electric scooters and motorcycles in the country.
The potential is huge. India is the world's largest market for scooters and motorcycles with an annual domestic turnover of more than 19 million in the fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2018 – six times that of the sales of cars in the same period.
The next market is China, with annual motorcycle sales of approximately 17 million in 2017.
Electric scooters are a fraction of the total, but is growing rapidly. In fiscal 2017-18, sales more than doubled to 54,800 a year ago, while the electric car sales fell to 1,200, 2,000 more than in the same period, according to data from the association of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (WITH).
In 2030, sales of electric scooters are expected to cross 2 million per year, even as most car manufacturers resist to bring electric cars to India.
The obstacles for scooters less. In comparison to cars, scooters are lighter, making them less powerful batteries that are cheaper. The scooters can also be recharged quickly and easily, often using existing power outlets in the house, and the price is comparable to that of gasoline-powered models.
The challenge is that most of the electric scooters sold today are utilitarian and not as powerful as the models that run on gasoline, that can go faster and climb easy. The supply chain is not robust, which means that manufacturers need to rely on the import of components.
More importantly, the supply of electricity in smaller towns, where the demand picks up again, it is irregular although they are often power shortages in India are a thing of the past.
"India is the electrical revolution will be led by two-wheelers. It is a value for money comparison," said Sohinder Gill, global chief executive officer at Hero Electric, the country's top-selling e-scooter manufacturer.
In May 2017, India federal economic policy think tank, started the discussions about a new policy that proposed electrification of all new vehicles in 2030, mainly by offering subsidies to buyers.
The proposal is facing resistance from automobile manufacturers and auto-parts companies that considered the shift to be sudden and ambitious, and the goal was dialed back to 30 percent.
India is now busy with a new policy aimed at rewarding investment in electric vehicle production, battery and smart charging, instead of just giving advantages to the sales.
The government also wants to pressure on the use of electric vehicles for public use, a revolution led by the three-wheeled autorickshaws. The sale of these vehicles, ubiquitous on the Indian city roads is expected to double to 935,000 units per year to 2023, according to consulting firm P&S Market Research.
"A policy or an incentive for manufacturers of cars or two-wheelers go a long way in making electric mobility more affordable than the funding of individual buyers," said mr. kaushik Madhavan, vice-president, mobility consultant at Frost & Sullivan.
A handful of car manufacturers, including Maruti Suzuki India Ltd Toyota Motor Corp and Nissan Motor Co are testing the ground for the launch of electric vehicles in the country, some already in 2020.
Two-wheeler companies are also on the road with Hero Electric and various start-ups including Okinawa, Ather Energy, and Twenty-Two Engines already selling electric scooters.
Hero, which sold 31,000 electric scooters in 2017-18, expects to double sales every year for the next few years and break even on the cost within a year, said Gill.
The japanese Suzuki Motor is working on plans to launch an electric scooter in India by 2020, while Indian motorcycle makers Bajaj Engine and a Motor are also looked at electric models.
Yamaha, that is the development of a global electric two-wheeler platform, plans for an electric scooter or motorcycle in India in the next 3 to 5 years, Yasuo Ishihara, managing director of the manufacturer's India unit, told Reuters.
While Ishihara not say how many Yamaha plans to invest in the electrification of press, he said: each investment will be primarily for power units, batteries, and infrastructure development with partners.
"Right now the need of the hour is a good roadmap and a clear policy by the government of India to actually put this ambition into reality," Ishihara said.
Gore is pleased with his Okinawa scooter, which he bought four months ago, because it is easy and inexpensive to maintain, and he can charge it at home. The scooter is equipped with a battery that can generate maximum power of 2500 watts, giving a top speed of 75 miles per hour (47 km / h), which, he says, is sufficient for his needs.
His only gripe is that the engine struggles when going uphill.
"You can't speed on the mountain way, you can speed up with traditional gasoline-powered scooters or motorcycles. There is a turbo mode that delivers more power, but that is still less than gasoline scooters," he said.
Frost Madhavan said that most of the electric scooters currently on sale is based in the area of the design, range and performance so the price can be kept affordable, especially in the smaller towns, where distances are shorter and buyers are more frugal.
But he says there is also a market for more premium models such as that by Bengaluru-based start-up Ather Energy that are designed to appeal to tech-savvy city commuters.
After the scooters are connected to the internet, equipped with a touchscreen and a top speed of 80 km / hour. They cost about 131,000 rupees – nearly double the amount of Gore paid.
Okinawa and Ather are both the expansion of their production facilities. While Okinawa has been the construction of a new plant in north India to more than tripling its capacity to one million electric scooters a year, Ather is scouting for a site for its second plant.
"There is a line of sight now," said Ravneet Phokela, chief business officer at Ather which is backed by venture capital firm Tiger Global, to add that there is more acceptance by customers and the government also comes on board.
Ather, whose business model consists of the setting up of charging stations in each city, the launches, is working on new products ahead of plans to expand to 30 cities in the next three years.
"There has never been a better time to be in this company than now," he said.


In addition to injuries, there are several foot and ankle conditions that are congenital, meaning a child is born with it.
Injuries, like fractures (breaks) or sprains, are common in young children—especially if they're physically active or play sports. In children, ankles are the most commonly sprained joint.
Flexible flatfoot: The child doesn't develop an arch in her foot, or its development is delayed.
High arches: The child's foot has an arch that's higher than normal. The foot can't absorb shock as well as it should, making the child more likely to have an overuse injury (an injury that happens after repeated stress in the same spot, such as a stress fracture).
Tarsal coalition: Two or more of the bones in the foot are connected abnormally. Even though a child can be born with this, she may not develop any symptoms until she's in her pre-teen or teenage years.
Metatarsus adductus: This is a foot deformity where the bones in the front half of a child's foot bend or turn in, pointing toward the body.
A child's symptoms often depend on which type of foot or ankle condition she has. However, there are a few symptoms that tend to be across-the-board signs of a problem with the foot or ankle.
Foot and ankle injuries like sprains or fractures often occur when a child injures herself playing a sport. However, any motion that twists or moves the foot or ankle in an abnormal way (e.g., falling, stepping on an uneven surface) can lead to injuries.
With congenital conditions, it's a little trickier to know the exact cause—some are hereditary (passed down throughout the family), some are the result of a mutated (changed) gene, and some have no known cause at all.
A physical exam may be enough to show the physician that there's a problem. However, he will probably need to perform imaging tests, like X-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans, to get the exact diagnosis.
For certain conditions, like flatfoot or a tarsal coalition, a child may not need any treatment at all—the problem could fix itself, or it may not cause any symptoms or problems that will impact her quality of life.
If she does need treatment, the physician may recommend stretching exercises, rest from high-impact activity, or shoe inserts.
Surgery is rarely needed for foot or ankle conditions. Most likely, a child will not need surgery unless she is not healing, and her foot or ankle is not functioning or is causing pain.
Proper footwear. Shoes that fit well and are appropriate for the sport (e.g., cleats for soccer) can reduce the risk of injury.
Plenty of water. Staying hydrated will help her stay energized and on her feet.
Warm-up and cool-down routines. Light stretching before activity can improve balance and flexibility. Low-impact cardio (e.g., jogging) and light stretching after activity can loosen muscles that may have tightened during play.
If a child has been injured, she can prevent re-injury by waiting until she is fully healed—and gets the "all clear" from her physician—to get back in the game.
The Pediatric Orthopaedist specializes in the musculoskeletal system of children. They manage the problems associated with spasticity and provide surgical interventions when necessary such as tendon lengthening or correcting a bony deformity.
The Pediatrician reviews medical issues and coordinates the general healthcare of the patient, in addition to working with the orthopaedic surgeon for pre-operative assessments if surgery is indicated and overseeing medical issues for hospitalized patients.
The Physical Therapist is a health care professional trained to assess and treat movement and function. They examine muscle range of motion, spasticity, strength and posture and assess their impact on function and mobility. Our physical therapists communicate with community therapists to help design and implement treatment interventions and equipment such as wheelchairs and braces. Gait studies at the Kameron Gait and Motion Analysis Laboratory are conducted by physical therapists.
The Nurse Specialist assists in making sure all medical orders are carried out, and provides case management and nursing assessment for the patient.

May Akale, a representative of the Baha'i International Community, prepares to deliver an oral statement to the UN Commission on Social Development on Monday 14 February. "Efforts to eradicate poverty must be guided by a vision of human prosperity in the fullest sense of the term – a dynamic coherence between the material and spiritual dimensions of human life," said Ms. Akale.
UNITED NATIONS, United States — Initiatives to address poverty should give attention to strengthening the moral, ethical and spiritual capacities of individuals and communities.
That was among the messages delivered by the Baha'i International Community and other non-governmental organizations at this year's United Nations Commission on Social Development.
"Efforts to eradicate poverty must be guided by a vision of human prosperity in the fullest sense of the term – a dynamic coherence between the material and spiritual dimensions of human life," said May Akale, a representative of the Baha'i International Community, in an oral statement to the Commission on Monday 14 February.
"Poverty, as has often been stated, is not merely the lack of material resources, but also the absence of those ethical and social resources that create an environment in which individuals, through social institutions and communities, can develop to their fullest capacity," said Ms. Akale.
Such efforts at capacity building should stress helping individuals "cultivate the capacities to become protagonists of their development."
This is especially so where it concerns the next generation, she said. "Of particular concern in seeking to develop these capacities are the many influences at work on the hearts and minds of children and youth."
"It is important to appreciate the extent to which young minds are affected by the choices of their families and communities. No matter how unintentional, choices which condone deficient ethical norms, such as the admiration for power, the seeking of status, the glorification of violence and pre-occupation with self-gratification, exercise a profound influence on young minds."
As a side event to the Commission, the Baha'i International Community sponsored a gathering at its offices, titled "Building Vibrant Communities: Strengthening Capacities for Justice, Equity and Collective Action."
Held on 10 February, the event took the form of a participatory "World Cafe." Some 30 representatives from non-governmental organizations took part in an informal discussion, co-sponsored by the International Movement ATD Fourth World and the Huairou Commission, which helps economically disadvantaged women organize for change.
Conversations centered on identifying the elements needed to create communities that are economically and socially healthy.
"Extreme poverty is a violation of human rights," said Cristina Diez, who represents ATD Fourth World to the United Nations, adding that the most excluded and stigmatized members of society "challenge us to think of the world in a different way."
Justice, equity and collective action must be exercised to ensure that all members of a community can have input into decisions that affect the entire group, she said.
Shannon Hayes of the Huairou Commission spoke about working with the consequences of AIDS in communities. Transparency, tolerance, inclusiveness, empowerment and democratic processes are some of the characteristics that need to be brought to the task of community building, she said.
Erin Murphy-Graham, an assistant professor of international education at New York University and a Baha'i, sought to answer the question, "What is a community?" Honesty, civic engagement and a concern for others are all necessary features, she said.
Following the speakers' presentations, participants met in smaller groups to discuss the features of a healthy society. Many concluded that the values of justice, equity and unity would need to be included in conversations about building spiritually and materially prosperous communities.
Education and empowerment, particularly of women and youth – they decided – would help to develop the skills and confidence needed for community members to recognize and demand their rights.
The United Nations Commission on Social Development meets annually to consider issues relating to poverty, social integration, and employment. This year's session commenced on 9 February and concludes this Friday, 18 February.
World leaders meeting in Canada urged to take "inspired leadership and action" to halt poverty, protect the environment, and end violent conflict.
Global "E-conference" on Culture of Peace and Sustainability conceived around a website, featuring speeches by prominent experts on peace and sustainability.
Baha'i International Community cosponsors a discussion, titled "Rethinking Prosperity: Forging Alternatives to a Culture of Consumerism."

Roundhouse Kick Retelling: A Review of Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon
September 29, 2022 by bclyp
Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon
Ying Chang Compestine
Illustrated by Joy Ang
Little Red Riding Hood and the Dragon depicts a refreshing Chinese twist on the age-old folk tale of Little Red Riding Hood, as told by the wolf from the original. But this Little Red knows kung fu and carries a sword, which is why her mother feels safe sending her to grandmother, or Nainai's house, when she's sick. Making her way to Nainai's house, Little Red is tricked by a dragon and uses her quick wit and traditional Chinese instruments to save Nainai and herself, making her the hero of her own story.
Although Little Red Riding Hood knows how to defend herself, she doesn't use much force when trying to escape the dragon's belly, just cleverness. This provides deeper character depth than the original tale. More in line with the original tale, many other characters in this picture book aren't focused on besides Little Red Riding Hood. As the big bad wolf is looked at as an antagonist in other folktales, his perspective as narrator is a unique element that refocuses the story now on a Chinese dragon as the antagonist. The digital art and vivid colors in Ang's illustrations lend a modern sensibility to the ancient setting and traditional tale, and add a further twist to the retelling. Detailed backmatter contains Compestine's author note on her inspiration for this twisted tale, her motivation to include certain Chinese elements, and a deeper look into Chinese culture and heritage. Young readers will enjoy this "real" version of the story, and grown up readers will get a chuckle out of the wolf's audience in the final spread. Messages of empowerment, problem-solving, and not waiting for a huntsman savior are the real beauty of this twisted tale.

Revenge or Mercy?: A Review of The Secret Battles of Evan Pao
May 19, 2022 by bclyp
The Secret Battle of Evan Pao
Evan Pao and his family just want to start fresh, away from his father's infamy and neighbors' stares, and a small town in Virginia seems like the right place. But, Haddington, Virginia has its own Southern traditions and views that the Pao family and Evan don't fit into, especially since Brady Griggs has it out for him as the only Chinese American boy in town. When Brady commits a hate crime against the Pao family but isn't punished, Evan faces the choice of getting revenge or being a bigger person and having mercy.
Told from multiple points of view from family, friends, and people around Haddington, these different perspectives reveal themes of racism, bullying, sexism, and their prevalence in the community. Shang treats grave and demeaning topics with realism and care, and a tone of hope that lends an uplifting feel to the weighty subjects. Although Evan knows he and his family don't fit into the small town, he strives to show that some town traditions do relate to him and that Asian Americans have a legacy in the American South, just like everyone else. In the beginning, Evan struggles through many of the town's prejudices that impact him and his family, and when it seems like he could give in to hate and subjugation, Evan overcomes these 'secret battles' within himself to reveal that forgiveness and mercy are vital for healing all wounds. Although the novel focuses on Evan as the main male protagonist, other characters are depicted as slowly adjusting their racially insensitive biases and worldview based on Evan's influence. Evan proves that it only takes one brave person to break a cycle of hate and racial stereotyping in order to make a difference in the community. This deeply moving novel highlights the struggle young people have with self-identity, and how hard fitting into a new place can be, but that taking the initiative and being brave has its rewards.

Queen Quest: A Review of The Queen in the Cave
Queen in the Cave
Júlia Sardá
Candlewick Studio
Franca dreams of a queen in a cave. Feeling a strange need to abandon all she once enjoyed, Franca recruits her younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, to journey with her on her quest through the dark forest to find the queen. Although her sisters become afraid of the forest and the creatures they meet, Franca motivates them with her own blooming confidence to continue. When Franca, Carmela, and Tomasina finally reach the cave, they are given the most unexpected surprise in discovering the identity of the queen.
This imaginative picture book explores themes of overcoming one's fears, being curious about the unknown, and being brave enough to keep going through life. Although Franca recruits her sisters in the beginning of the quest to travel with her, she learns that it's okay to drift apart from the people and activities she once enjoyed, indicating the transition from childhood to adulthood. The illustrations and tone of the story also exhibit the shift, starting with a lighthearted tone and clean portrayal of the sisters and moving to a heavier tone and a darker color scheme focused on Franca. The fantastical illustration of the forest and the creatures fill each page with hidden objects that catch the attention of any reader and make them want to look again to see new objects that one might have missed. The fairytale-like tone of this picture book for older children, emphasizes the reality of growing up and learning to embrace your individuality, couched within a whimsical adventure.

Benefits of a Bossy Butler: A Review of Pay Attention, Carter Jones
January 16, 2019 by bclyp
Pay Attention, Carter Jones
Gary D. Schmidt
Clarion Books, February 2019
The Butler in Gary Schmidt's Pay Attention, Carter Jones shows up at the perfect time. Carter's father is deployed in Germany when Mr. Bowles-Fitzpatrick arrives on the Jones's family's front porch, his service an inheritance of sorts from their recently passed grandfather. Carter's mother, struggling to care for four and mourning the loss of a fifth, is all too happy to accept free help, but Carter doesn't appreciate Mr. Bowles-Fitzpatrick's insistence on speaking "the Queen's English" or his tips on gentlemanly behavior. The two bond, however, when the butler teaches Carter to drive a car that will one day be his own and introduces him to the intricacies of Cricket. When Carter finds out his father is not returning from Germany, he starts to suspects the butler knows more about his family than it seems, and that the butler's unsolicited guidance may help him sort the fragments of his family currently spinning out of control. The Butler is appropriately irritating and loveable all at once, striking a perfect balance of affection and frustration as his central relationship with Carter blooms. Carter is both stubborn and sympathetic as a middle schooler confronting the loss of a sibling and his father's abandonment in a touching and realistic way. A hilarious and heartfelt book that will have readers laughing between tears and "remembering who they are."

Small & Mighty: A Review of Front Desk by Kelly Yang
May 22, 2018 by rachkaiser
Front Desk by Kelly Yang
Scholastic/Arthur A. Levine Books
Mia and her parents, recent immigrants from China, are managing a California motel in the early 1990s. It's a family affair, as ten-year-old Mia finds herself responsible for checking in motel guests while her parents tend to the rooms and motel maintenance – though it sometimes feels like it's Mia against the world. After a rough start including washing machine mishaps, bad grades, and arguments with her mother (who wants Mia to stick to math, something she considers Mia to be a "native" in), Mia hits her stride when she realizes the power of using her ever-improving English to help others, especially the motel guests she considers family.
Adventurous subplots and dynamic secondary characters add to the appeal of this compelling middle grade novel. Mia believes in herself and wants what is best for her friends and family, and though her quick thinking sometimes gets her in trouble, at the end of the day she is a force for good in her community. This book is fun, yet thoughtful, and shows that there's no age requirement for taking action against injustice.

PCP Two of Hearts: The Thing About Luck
February 17, 2015 by bclyp
by Cynthia Kadohata, with illustrations by Julia Kuo
Atheneum, 2013
I am a huge fan of Cynthia Kadohata's work. Huge. I was on the committee that selected Kira-Kira, her first book for children, as the 2005 Newbery Medal winner, and I have loved every subsequent book. There is a quiet, raw honesty that runs through her writing, a transparency of language that sneaks up on you and, out of events that seem mundane, delivers something exquisite and profound. It's like magic.
The Thing About Luck tells the story of a Japanese American farming family toiling amidst a flurry of bad luck. Sunny's parents have been called away to Japan on emergency family business, leaving Sunny and her little brother Jaz in the care of her grandparents Obaachan and Jiichan, saddled with the back-breaking work of itinerant, contract wheat harvesting. Kadohata paints the circumstances in vivid, albeit plainspoken detail: Sunny's fear of mosquitoes (she had malaria once); Jaz's difficulty connecting; Obaachan's strict, traditional ways; Jiichan's tireless effort; and an impossibly thorough explanation farm machinery. And somehow, in the spaces between these definitions and explanations, she offers a tender, immediate, indelible portrait of family that is as touching as it is unique. These are people who love one another deeply, and Kadohata's ability to show us that love, in the conflicts and struggles that would threaten it, is simply staggering.

When You Wander: A Search-and-Rescue Dog Story
July 29, 2013 by bclyp
by Margarita Engle, illustrated by Mary Morgan
Henry Holt, 2013
"If you are lost, stay in one place. Hug a tree. Think of me."
On paper everything about this sounds didactic and cloying, in the sort of way that might give one a headache and a toothache at the same time. A sniffing school graduate offers help to would-be lost children to keep them safe and get them found. Her first person (first canine?) exposition outlines specific procedures to be undertaken by a lost toddler matched to the dog's skills and knowledge.
And it is sweet, make no mistake, and not without purpose.
But it is so much more than that. The language is warm and clear, presenting the instructions in an easy, friendly way, studded with details of particular meaning to a child. It is lilting and confident and happy on the tongue, broken like verse to reinforce its poetic rhythms to the reader-alouder. The toddler in question is shown in the rescue dog's imagination, doing toddlery things that leave an indelible olfactory trail. The pictures themselves, soft and unapologetically accessible, establish a tone of security and success. And so children understand being lost in terms of the dog's expertise, not the danger the dfficulty represents. In a final spread the roles are switched, as the child, now safe home in bed, dreams of her rescuer in a dream bubble of her own.
Above all, though, this is a story. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment reading this aloud to a group of children, not because it contains important information that all children need to hear, but because it is purely delightful. Would that more books built on a message could be so.

One for the Murphys
July 4, 2013 by alliparker
by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
Nancy Paulsen Books, 2012
For a dog owner, it's always a fascinating exercise to see what your pet notices. You pick up the house keys and she's at the door; simply raise your eyebrows and her ears are pricked up in anticipation. A dog's job is above all observing her humans, and we're amazed by what she notices.
Yet nothing tops our own species as the reigning champions of observation. When we're paying attention, we see everything: the slight tightness in a boss's face, or the averted eyes of a suspicious stranger. The key is the paying attention part. In psychology experiments, a subject might be "primed" for a test by viewing significant words or images. In life, our past experiences teach us what to look out for.
One for the Murphys is a story about seeing. Twelve-year-old Carley Connors keeps much to herself, but the reader sees she's a pro at observation, especially of her foster family:
"Michael Eric comes in with his hand tucked into his armpit. His mother drops to the floor like someone has kicked her behind the knees, but she lands gently, holding out her arms, and he melts into them."
From smiling photos, neatly arranged pantry supplies, and especially the warm gestures and touches exchanged between the Murphys, Carley sees she doesn't belong. She sees other things, too: moments of tension, worry, and anger. To another's eyes, these might be normal moments of stress for a family, especially a new foster family. But to Carley, every frown is evidence that she is unwanted. Every hand reaching out is a potential slap, and she reflexively flinches. Although she has a keen eye for observation, her perception is skewed.
Through fragments of memory, the reader starts to see why: the last thing Carley saw before she woke up in the hospital was her stepfather raising his fists to beat her, and her mother holding her down. Carley, believing strength and emotion are mutually exclusive, doesn't share this information readily with the people she encounters. Without all the facts, these other characters make their own judgments: a police officer sees her as an instigator; a classmate, seeing only the new clothes Mrs. Murphy has purchase for Carley, thinks she's a mindless clone of any other kid. But the reader is granted the most accurate view. In seeing each person's mistakes in perception, including Carley's, we start to wonder about the people we see and the judgments we make. There's almost always more to the story – in One for the Murphys and in life – and it isn't always something that we great observers can clearly see.

My Family Valentine
When I was growing up, Valentine's Day was the biggest holiday going. The Valentine's Day Peacock would administer the annual treasure hunt, hiding construction paper hearts around the house, each with a different clue on it, in Latin, and it fell to me and my sisters to hunt them down, translating one to lead to the next, and so on. Each of us was assigned a different color heart (lest they get confused) and as we grew older, the clues became more difficult and more plentiful. The trail invariably ended with particular paydirt: a cellophane-wrapped, heart-shaped box of chocolates and a pair of pink socks. I believe this went on all through our high school years (though my sister swears it was the Valentine's Day Aardvark, so my memory may not be especially dependable) and was, even as a teen, a sweet, resonant tradition. To me, Valentine's day will always be a holiday about family, more than romance, and so I offer you a bevy of picture books about family love, in its infinite variety, as my valentine.

Q: Eclipse Android: how to use a library project with linked folders? If I have simple android library (set with project->properties->android->Library) with linked folders, the linked folders are not included in the application using the library.
Choosing a library project will add a link in the application project to the library's 'src' folder and all real folders, but it will ignore any linked folders in the Library project.
---Edit: this actually works with more recent Eclipse and adt---
I can add the library as a project dependency (project->properties->javabuildpath->project) - this will make Eclipse aware of the classes in the linked folders, and fix the compile errors in Eclipse, but will not include the library classes in the apk itself and the app will fail with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
What is your suggestion on using a library project with source folders linked in from outside of the library project's main folder?

A: The solution was under my nose all the time:
Apparently with a more recent version of eclipse and/or android tools it is enough to add the library as a project dependency project -> properties -> javabuildpath -> project.
No need to use the android library setting at all project -> properties -> android.
I am now using eclipse Helios (3.6) with Android tools 10.0.1, and it works in this combination.

Showing a BView does not trigger appropriate update session when the resulting dirty region is already part of an update.
This ticket used to be about a "bug" in DeskCalc, and a work around has been commited. The real issue has never been fixed and is a problem in app_server that can also be reproduced with ShowImage when removing similar work arounds there.
Right click and hold on the text input box, select 'Show Keypad' which will hide the keypad (since it is on by default).
Right click and hold again on the text input box and select 'Show Keypad' again. This will show the keypad.
Observe that the keypad is not fully drawn.
If you resize the window the keypad is then drawn, but you shouldn't have to resize the window to make the keypad draw.
Screen shot 2011-03-07 at 8.22.36 PM.png (35.9 KB) - added by jscipione 8 years ago.
I tried adding Invalidate() the end of _ShowKeypad() in CalcView.cpp and that did not fix the bug so this is going to take a bit more work to nail down.
I just noticed and can confirm this myself. It may be a bug in the Interface Kit or app_server but I would keep digging in DeskCalc before looking in those places.
Even tho the view had a FULL_REDRAW_ON_RESIZE flag, the view itself wasn't following the window, so wasn't resized, so not redrawn on resize.
Tested this on 40863 and the bug still appears to exist. I looked at the commit and you just added an Invlidate() to the ShowKeypad() method. I wrote in a comment above (comment #1) that I already tried that and it didn't fix the bug. Am I missing something?
hmm, that's weird. I swear that I saw it working. O_o.. I suppose I clicked in the view by accident. I'll look further.
Tested on 40864. Bug is squashed. Thanks stpere!
When you select show keypad, Deskcalc doesn't draw the keypad → Showing a BView does not trigger appropriate update session when the resulting dirty region is already part of an update.
Removed Invalidate() from CalcView::FrameResized() and restored B_FULL_UPDATE_ON_RESIZE to CalcView ctor on hrev51054 to see if Axel's changes had any effect. No change, DeskCalc still does not invalidate the keypad until the window is resized.


The funds for Somalia's humanitarian have significantly dropped by 18% amid the country is ravaged by severe water and food shortages.
In an annual 2018 report on funds for Somalia, the donors were said to have managed to raise $54.3 million between January and December which is much less than what was donated in 2017.
The reports noted that the donors continued providing strong support for the SHF (Somalia humanitarian Fun) in 2018, sustaining their contributions at levels comparable to the 2017 famine-prevention year, with only 5 percent decrease.
According to the report, Germany was the top donor second year in a row, followed by Sweden, United Kingdom (UK), Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Switzerland and the Republic of Korea.
The government of German had 13.6 million for Somalia's humanitarian funds.
$24.6 million of funds which equivalent to about 45 percent were received in the first half of 2018, allowing, together with the uncommitted carry-over from 2017, for early support that was closely aligned with the 2018 Somalia HRP priorities geared at sustaining the famine-prevention efforts.
According to the agency, an estimated 6.2 million people need humanitarian assistance, and the number of people living in pre-famine emergency conditions has increased from 80,000 people in January to 800,000 in December this year.
In addition, one million people have been displaced so far this year due to drought and conflict, thereby doubling the number of internally displaced people.
