Pro-life Democrats call out party's 'abortion extremism:' 'Disturbing parallels to Dred Scott'
Democrats for Life led a coalition against the Democrat Party's "explicit support" for "abortion extremism" in its national platform in an open letter released on Friday.
(Article by Alexa Moutevelis republished from NewsBusters.org)
The letter, which pointed out abortion's "disturbing parallels to Dred Scott," was signed by a diverse group of over 100 "Democrat and independent religious leaders, professors and community leaders," according to LifeNews.
"This letter demonstrates the strength of opposition to Joe Biden's beliefs about abortion, especially from Democratic voters of color and religious voters," Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life, told LifeNews. "The Democratic Party should seek to include these voters, rather than pushing them into the arms of the Republican Party.
The AP reported,
Among the signatories of the letter are the Rev. Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition and a member of former President Barack Obama's faith-based advisory council; and John DeBerry, a longtime Tennessee state representative and pastor who was recently removed from the Democratic primary ballot due in part to votes against the party's position.
The open letter to members of the Democratic Platform Committee of the Democratic National Committee began, "Inspired by the Christian faith, we note that the Bible calls on us to speak up in favor of those who do not have a voice," citing 13 scripture verses related to when life begins and the taking of innocent life.
Furthermore, "The Christian faith invites us to play a particular role in moving the conscience of the American people to end unjust discrimination against certain classes of people, as in previous civil rights movements."
But it's not just their faith that compelled the group to speak for the unborn, they also refer to biology, law, racism and human rights – and they brought receipts! (links in original document)
Informed by human reason, we recall that 95% of biologists affirm the biological view that life begins at fertilization. Likewise, we recall the opinion of leading scholars, who have rejected Roe v. Wade as "bad constitutional law."
We recall that denying personhood to the pre-born child has disturbing parallels to Dred Scott vs. Sandford. Sadly, the US is just one of seven countries, alongside North Korea, to allow the horrific practice of elective late-term abortion after 20 weeks.
Citing "an obligation to speak truth to power in the face of injustice and inequality," the group noted they "do not presently speak to support or oppose particular candidates or parties" and not all of the signatories are registered Democrats, but they "appreciate the Democratic Party's stated commitment to human rights, equality, and fairness." Yeah, Democrats don't really walk the walk there.
The letter went on:
Accordingly, we urge the Democratic Party to embrace policies that protect both women and children: legal protection for pre-born children, improved prenatal care for women in need, especially women of color, alternatives to abortion, and a comprehensive culture of life free from violence, poverty and racism.
They called on Democrats "to recognize the inviolable human dignity of the child, before and after birth," "reject a litmus test on pro-life people of faith seeking office in the Democratic Party," and "end the explicit support in your platform for abortion extremism, such as taxpayer-funded abortion in America and overseas, opposed by 60% and 76% of voters."
The letter ended noting, "79% of voters oppose elective abortion on demand" and "[t]hey deserve a home in the Democratic Party," too.
Let's hope someday Democrats get on the right side of history for once and embrace the pro-life issue in their platform.

Q: Sort Woocommerce products by most viewed using Post View Counter Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I am trying to reorder my woocommerce products by most viewed using the post-views-counter plugin.
Followed these examples which did not seem to work Sort products by most viewed
function my_view_filter($query){
  if ($query->is_main_query() && ( $query->is_home() || $query- >is_archive()
   )
     ) {
     $query->set('post_type', 'product');
     $query->set('suppress_filters', false);
     $query->set('orderby', 'post_views');
     $query->set('order', 'asc');
     $query->set('fields', '');
     }
   }
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_view_filter' );

A: First of all, the plugin you're trying to use is outdated. Secondly, it seems to create a table to hold the views and this would require changing the actual MySQL query to retrieve posts ordered by date which is a lot of work looking what you need to do.
You could simply just save views on visit to post meta and use that to order products on the catalog like this:
/**
 * Setting post count on each visit
 *
 */
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'prefix_save_product_views' );
function prefix_save_product_views(  ) {

    $product_id = get_the_ID();
    $increment = 1;
    $current_visit_count = get_post_meta( $product_id, 'product_visit_count', true );

    $total_visit_count = (int)$current_visit_count + $increment;
    update_post_meta( $product_id, 'product_visit_count', $total_visit_count );

}

/**
 * Change the display order based on visit count only in Catalog
 *
 */
add_filter('woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'prefix_woocommerce_catalog_orderby');
function prefix_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $args ) {
    $args['meta_key'] = 'product_visit_count';
    $args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
    $args['order'] = 'desc';
    return $args;
}

You'd run into multiple issues using pre_get_posts

A: // Remove product category/tag meta from its original position
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 40 );
// Add product meta in new position
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_meta', 5 );

Als Funkschlüsselnetze wurden insbesondere während des Zweiten Weltkriegs die von der deutschen Wehrmacht betriebenen Funknetze bezeichnet, über die geheime Nachrichten, Lagemeldungen und militärische Befehle mithilfe der Funktechnik übermittelt wurden.

Alle Nachrichten, welche durch Unbefugte nicht gelesen werden sollten, waren bestimmungsgemäß mit dem vom OKW vorgeschriebenen Schlüsselverfahren zu verschlüsseln. Zur Verschlüsselung der Funksprüche setzten alle Teilstreitkräfte der Wehrmacht Maschinenschlüssel ein, in erster Linie die Enigma-Maschine. Der Umgang mit dem Maschinenverfahren wurde in zwei Dienstvorschriften einheitlich geregelt (H.Dv.g. 13, L.Dv.g. 13 und H.Dv.g. 14, M.Dv. Nr. 168, L.Dv.g. 14) und der Einsatz eines Schlüssels befohlen. Während Heer und Luftwaffe hauptsächlich die Enigma I nutzten, setzte die deutsche Kriegsmarine kryptografisch stärkere Modelle ein, wie die Enigma-M3 und die Enigma-M4. Neben dem Maschinenverfahren existierte noch ein Handverfahren, wobei die Texte handschriftlich verschlüsselt wurden. Der Umgang mit den Schlüsseln wurde in einer Dienstvorschrift einheitlich geregelt (H.Dv.g. 7, M.Dv. Nr. 534, L.Dv.g. 7).

Funkschlüsselnetze der Wehrmacht

Spezifische Funknetzschlüssel

Grob unterteilt gab es die folgenden Kategorien von Maschinenschlüsseln:
 OKH-Maschinenschlüssel
 Heeres-Stabs-Maschinenschlüssel (Bild)
 Wehrmacht-Maschinenschlüssel
 Oberquartiermeister-Maschinenschlüssel
 Rundspruch-Maschinenschlüssel
 Reichsbahn-Maschinenschlüssel
 Armee-Maschinenschlüssel
 Sonder-Maschinenschlüssel
 Wehrkreis-Maschinenschlüssel
 Maschinenschlüssel der SS
Neben dem Maschinenschlüssel existierte meist noch ein Hand- bzw. Notschlüssel. Zusätzlich gab es einen Funkschlüssel für die Übermittlung von Wetterdaten.

Jede der genannten Kategorien wies, häufig gegliedert nach Einheiten oder geographischen Regionen, zahlreiche individuelle Schlüsselnetze mit eigenen Schlüsseln auf. Beispielsweise hatte jede der drei an der Ostfront operierenden Heeresgruppen, Nord, Mitte und Süd, allein für Rundsprüche ein separates Funkschlüsselnetz.

Heer
Allein das deutsche Heer betrieb während des Krieges mehr als einhundert unterschiedliche Schlüsselnetze.

SS
Bei der SS existierten unterschiedlichste Schlüssel, wie z. B. ein SS-Stabs-Maschinenschlüssel, SS-Querverkehr-Maschinenschlüssel oder ein SS-Frontschlüssel, welche im Funkverkehr eingesetzt wurden.

Luftwaffe

Dazu kamen weitere etwa hundert Schlüsselnetze der Luftwaffe.

Bemerkenswert ist die Einführung einer besonderen Umkehrwalze für die Enigma ab Anfang 1944 innerhalb einiger Schlüsselnetze der Luftwaffe, beispielsweise bei der im deutsch besetzten Frankreich stationierten Luftflotte 3, aus der im September 1944 das Luftwaffenkommando West hervorging. Hier nutzten die Deutschen, im Gegensatz zu den anderen Wehrmachtteilen, die sogenannte Umkehrwalze D, kurz UKW Dora genannt. Diese zeichnete sich dadurch aus, dass ihre Verdrahtung, anders als bei allen anderen Enigma-Walzen, durch den Benutzer schlüsselabhängig geändert werden konnte. Dies bewirkte eine deutliche Vergrößerung der kombinatorischen Komplexität der Chiffriermaschine und hätte leicht dazu führen können, dass die Verschlüsselung praktisch "unbrechbar" gewesen wäre, falls das neue Verfahren schlagartig und flächendeckend eingeführt worden wäre.

Kriegsmarine
Für die Kriegsmarine war die Führung ihrer teilweise in weit entfernten Gebieten und auf Hoher See operierenden Wasserfahrzeuge von entscheidender Wichtigkeit. Hierzu wurden für die unterschiedlichen Einheiten und die verschiedenen Seegebiete jeweils eigene Schlüsselnetze mit passenden Decknamen gebildet. Beispiele sind Funkschlüsselnetze:

 Aegir für Überwasserkriegsschiffe und Hilfskreuzer in Übersee ("Außerheimische Gewässer", ab August 1939), ab Januar 1943
 Hydra für Schiffe in Küstennähe ("Heimische Gewässer", ab August 1939), ab Januar 1943
 Medusa für U-Boote im Mittelmeer, ab Juni 1943
 Neptun für Schlachtschiffe und Schwere Kreuzer in Übersee ("Kernflotte", ab Mai 1941), ab Oktober 1941 sowie
 Triton für die Atlantik-U-Boote ("Front-U-Boote", ab Oktober 1941), ab Februar 1942 (Beta), ab Juli 1943 (Gamma)

Im Gegensatz zur früheren Annahme, dass es vor allem alliierte Radartechnik und Funkpeilung waren, an denen die deutschen U-Boote zugrunde gingen, war es, wie man heute weiß, die Arbeit des britischen Geheimdienstes, insbesondere in Bletchley Park, gepaart mit dem deutschen Trugschluss, dass ein Einbruch in ihre Funkschlüsselnetze nicht möglich sei.

The Canon EOS M6 is a compact mirrorless camera that features most of the technologies and features of a DSLR, but in much smaller and lighter body. Powering the EOS M6 is a DSLR-sized 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor which is paired with Canon's intelligent DIGIC 7 image processor. Together these technologies provides the EOS M6 with fantastic image quality, impressive low light performance of up to ISO 25600, and advanced features such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF and 5-axis Digital Image Stabilization. The Canon EOS M6 shares most of the same hardware and features as the M5, but comes at a much lower price. The biggest differences between the two is the lack of a built-in viewfinder on the M6, an optional electronic viewfinder is available; and on the M6 the rear LCD is slightly smaller at 3 inches, features a slightly lower resolution, and flips 180 degrees up, instead of 180 degrees down like on the M5. The Canon EOS M6 Body is natively compatible with EF-M mount lenses, but can mount EF-S lenses with an optional adaptor. Canon's EF-M lens range covers a wide range of focal lengths and the lenses are much smaller and lighter than their DSLR equivalents.


"Sustainable development has been recognized by the United Nations (2015) as a challenge of transformation and integration. Transformation in the meaning that marginal changes are not sufficient, it is a question of systemic change to shift the world towards a sustainable path. Integration in the meaning that all dimensions of sustainability have to be considered simultaneously, and that we have to work together across sectors and scales.
Challenge Lab is an arena that creates space for students from different master programs to – in collaboration with stakeholders from industry, academia, public sector, as well as civil society – identify questions that will guide us from today's system to a sustainable future. At Challenge Lab, students are trained in a leadership guided by a backcasting process for sustainability driven innovation.
Challenge Lab offers the course "Leadership for Sustainability Transitions" and a "master thesis lab". In the course, students address challenges to develop Chalmers' campus, and during the master thesis lab, the students address challenges in Gothenburg and the region of West Sweden. Examples of thesis projects span from electromobility strategies in the city of Gothenburg, to developing blockchain solutions for a more efficient sharing economy.

You just know you'll find something interesting to do in a country that's a combination of glacier and volcano. The Icelandic landscape has often been used as a backdrop for movies and television shows such as The Game of Thrones and Prometheus.
Iceland also gave us awesome musical acts like Of Monster and Men, Sigur Rós, and Björk. In November they have one of the coolest music festivals... EVER: Iceland Airwaves Music Festival! I'd been wanting to go ever since I first heard about it a couple of years ago.
I was JUST talking about how going to the festival would make for a really awesome blog post series, when I saw this video. It was created for the travel site Inspired By Iceland and showcases some the cool stuff you could do in Iceland.

It's a Peoplestown
Chloe Prendergast
Last fall, the City of Atlanta released plans to demolish a block of homes in historic Peoplestown in order to control flooding in southeast Atlanta. Mayor Kasim Reed first took interest in the block after major flooding in 2012 when El Baker, an 18-year resident of Peoplestown, filed a property damage lawsuit against the city.
One person affected by the city's plans is 93-year-old community activist and "unofficial Mayor of Summerhill" Mattie Jackson, who has lived in the neighborhood her entire life and in her current house for 47 years.
"I'm really hurt over it," Jackson said. "My house is paid for. They are going to catch a heap of [trouble] if they try to take my house."
Mattie Jackson speaks to supporters about the city's plans for her home and her own contribution to the Summerhill and Peoplestown neighborhoods.
Two years ago, Gresham Smith and Partners, an architectural firm with an office in Atlanta, proposed a solution to the flooding which did not involve demolishing the block. The proposal included the installation of new underground water storage tanks and the conversion of a portion of the former Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, now a parking lot, into a public park.
Gresham Smith and Partners released plans of converting the former Braves stadium two years ago. The city believes these changes will not suffice, as the water converges in the Peoplestown block, not the Atlanta-Fulton County stadium land. (Photo courtesy of GS&P)
The city rejected the plan to convert the stadium site, but adopted some of the firm's proposals. Along with the introduction of two large capacity storage tanks, the city is installing permeable pavers throughout the city. This layered system of rocks underneath new sections of formerly asphalt, now brick roads, allows for better water drainage.
"We are installing six miles of permeable pavers, which is the largest permeable paver project in the nation," said Todd Hill, an environmental management director for the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management. "No other city in the nation has ever been as progressive as the city of Atlanta in moving forward with a project of this type."
Even with these changes, the city maintains that the block will still flood in the event of heavier storms. The flooding in 2012 which caused residents to sue was the result of a five-year storm, or a storm with a magnitude likely to happen once every five years. Each year, this has a 20 percent chance of occurring. These current additions, the city claims, will not protect against 25 or 100 year storms, which are likely to occur once every 25 or 100 years respectively and have a four and one percent chance of happening each year.
As a result, the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management settled on a $65 million plan which also allots for the creation of a park between Atlanta Avenue SE and Ormond Street SE where the 29 homes currently stand.
"We want to keep people safe and properties safe as well as putting a system in that works with nature," Hill said.
The city is working towards this park. Once the homes are demolished, the city plans to build relief ponds which will prevent further major flooding.
Momentum against the city's proposal has risen in recent days as some residents refuse to sell.
"Right now the remaining residents are standing together in the face of eminent domain and are refusing to leave," said Tim Franzen, an activist for Occupy Our Homes Atlanta, an organization that aims to prevent gentrification in the city.
The city now owns 14 of the 29 lots on the block, and has been purchasing them at 120 percent of the city's market value appraisals. Many residents don't believe this agreement is fair. So far, eight residents have refused to settle with the city. Tanya Washington, a law professor at Georgia State who has lived on the block for four years, is one of the residents who objects.
"We don't need to be saved from the flooding; we need to be saved from the city," Washington said.
According to Washington and Jackson, the homes of those who have not sold don't have a flooding problem. These homes are not in need of flood insurance which homes susceptible to flooding would require, according to Franzen. These residents believe there is no need for them to leave.
Other residents of the block are in favor of the park. Davy Nixon, whose home has flooded, sold his home to the city two weeks ago and has managed to purchase a new home in the community.
"Those of us who have been dealing with this for years and years are happy to leave," Nixon said.
While he agrees with the city's plans in the area, Nixon did find negotiating house values with the city difficult.
Dr. Deirdre Oakley, a professor of sociology at Georgia State University, has conducted research about the relocation of Atlanta public housing residents, such as at the Palmer House, a senior citizen high-rise. She is concerned about the city's plans for Peoplestown.
Peoplestown residents join together outside Mattie Jackson's home to gather support for their petition to stop the city's plans.
"It's really sad," Oakley said. "I think what people don't realize…it's not just displacing them from their housing, it's displacing them from their community."
The city firmly believes this construction would benefit the community. The commissioner of the Watershed Department, Jo Ann Macrina, opposed creating a standard concrete pond to handle the water in this area, and is in favor of the Japanese garden-style park the city is planning.
"If we're going to be using an entire city block, she wanted to make it an enhancement to the community while providing the proper capacity relief for the area," Hill said. "We're preventing flooding on other homes outside this block also. This is a greater good for the community. It's also for the public safety of the residents that were living on that block."
Lillian Govus, a Watershed Management spokeswoman, compares the Peoplestown proposal to the Old Fourth Ward Park, which was also built to control flooding. In her eyes, this would be a beneficial addition to the community and a continuation of the mayor's commitment to sustainability. Occupy Our Homes Atlanta sees it as a danger to the community, and a promotion of gentrification.
"An Old Fourth Ward Park would be the nail in the coffin for gentrification," Franzen said.
In 2013, Federal Reserve of Cleveland researcher Daniel Hartley conducted a study which put Atlanta as the sixth most gentrifying city in the nation. His report explains what this means.
"A neighborhood is gentrifying if it is located in the central city of a metropolitan area and it goes from being in the bottom half of the distribution of home prices in the metropolitan area to the top half," he wrote in the report.
In Feb 2015, two years later, Governing, a magazine covering state and local politics, policy and management, published a study placing Atlanta as the fifth highest gentrifying city in the country. Franzen cites increases in home prices in the Old Fourth Ward since the construction of the park as evidence of recent gentrification. Home prices per square foot in the Old Fourth Ward have risen from an average of $78 in 2010 to $227 in 2015, according to Trulia, a real estate website which displays market trends.
This is troubling for activists in the area, who believe long-time, low income residents of Peoplestown will be priced out of the neighborhood and forced to move from their homes if the park is built. Many believe that inner city gentrification pushes poverty out of the city into surrounding suburbs while failing to combat the problem.
The Brookings Institute released information on the composition of Atlanta's population from 2000 to 2011, which revealed that Atlanta's low-income suburban population grew by 159% compared to a 67% national average.
"I think it's a legitimate concern," Oakley said. "Once you upgrade the infrastructure, developers are going to be more interested in the area."
This concern is shared with many members of the community, but Govus disagrees on the effect in Atlanta.
"I had to go out to Fourth Ward Park today..and I looked around at the people who were using it…reflected the community, the diversity of this city and that's what's important," Govus said.
The prospect of the park still upsets Jackson.
"I've been here all my life, and this is the worst time of my life," Jackson said.
Watershed Management sees Jackson as a special case, and has been working toward finding an individual solution for her, including the prospect of physically moving her home to a new lot.

"We've offered to move her home. We've offered to buy her a new home. We've offered to buy her home and allow her to do what she needs to do with that money," Govus said. "So we are committed to do whatever it takes… We are doing our best to make sure she's not in an area that's going to flood, and it will flood."
Oakley believes any relocation is detrimental.
"We haven't written the paper on the seniors yet, but it was really, really hard on them," Oakley said. "The quality of the housing they went to was fine, but they lost their social networks. To be uprooted like that…One was 99 years old…She was pretty much self sufficient, and this is typical in the research. She died in six months. Her independence was taken from her."
Occupy Our Homes Atlanta, Washington and other residents remain hopeful that they can block the city's plans for the neighborhood. Franzen and Washington believe that the Gresham Smith and Partners plan, along with other proposals could solve the problem.
"Mayor Reed has the opportunity to be a hero," Franzen said. "There's a crisis on his desk and there is a solution that doesn't see the bulldozing of the most stable block in the community."
Oakley sees a victory for the block residents as unlikely.
"You need a lot of resources to win against eminent domain," Oakley said. "I wouldn't be too hopeful."

I am the president (self-appointed as is the norm with many of my titles) of the Whimsy Fan Club. I strongly believe in the magic of stories told largely and from deep within an infinite imagination. I embrace the fanciful, magnificent, adventures that are unlocked when you dream big and commit to reveling in the possibility instead of dwelling in the limits of plausibility. Big Fish, now playing at Palo Alto Players is a show that whole-heartedly embodies this larger-than-life, mythical philosophy. It is humorous, poignant, healing and the messages of this show are so very needed in the world today.
There's a lot of really wonderful, fun, touching and extremely well done stagecraft in this production and I have to give extreme, fuzzy kudos to the teams that worked to bring the visual pieces together. The costuming, props, set, projections, crew and illusions tell a big, bright story of their own. This was a collective effort that served up eye-candy galore and elicited genuine gasps, laughs, smiles and show stopping applause throughout. The technical result is commendable and for me by far the highlight of the evening. Palo Alto Players is fast becoming my favorite theater for creative, well-executed technical wizardry in an intimate space as they continue to raise the bar in this area with just about every show they do.
As for the show itself, I'm not sure I could surrender to it fully as much as I really wanted to. Something tells me no production could live up to the film, which if you haven't seen, is worth a viewing too. Where the visuals were charming and full of life, I felt the music and way the story played on stage was conversely unremarkable. The words and music seemed to drag each other down instead of elevate and enhance each other. Music and lyrics served each other and the rest of the show inconsistently. There seemed an odd disconnect with the way it was written and the addition of some pitchy notes coming from some of the actors and the orchestra compounded that structural discord. In many cases I felt that the words were "better" than the music (this should just be a really compelling monologue) or the music "better" than the words (why can't this just be told using the visuals and music, do we really need the text here?) It had me thinking about my most riveting college professors and how they could capture an entire class for 45 minutes during a single, brilliant lecture and how a cello solo can confide the saddest of secrets in a language only audible to your soul. I wanted the marriage between prose and music in this show to somehow invent a new language and whisper and shout simultaneously, but there wasn't for me a single hummable, memorable musical moment either in the way it was conceived or the way it was performed.
The talent was varied, all the way from genuinely good to "well that was interesting." There was some sweet chemistry on stage to be sure (particularly between Sandra and Edward Bloom and Edward and Young Will) and the audience was in unanimous consensus that if they could fit Karl the Giant in their pocket, they would engage in the most epic of RoShamBo battles to see who got to take him home but, unfortunately I think some of the demands of the singing were too much for some of the cast and for me that interrupted some really fine acting. In this case I think the show would have been exponentially better were it not for the songs that forced prose into meter and rhyme when their own cadence (and the talent delivering them) could have carried the heart of an original tale on their own much more powerfully.
This show is yet another fine example of Palo Alto Players commitment to increasingly more ambitious pieces and while I thought the effort was really admirable and there were certainly sparks of magic in places, overall this piece may have been conceptually TOO big for any stage as a whole. A worthy effort on the part of a dedicated and committed cast, Big Fish reels in 3 ½ out of 5 jewels in the review tiara for a tender love story wrapped vividly in a visual victory. Big Fish plays through September 28th at the Lucie Stern Community Theater in Palo Alto.

The model is based on dissemination/broadcasting of useful governance information, which is in the public domain into the wider public domain with ICT and convergent media. The strength of the model rests upon the fact that a more informed citizenry is better able to judge the functioning of existing governance mechanisms and make an informed opinion about them. Consequently, they become more empowered to exercise their rights and responsibilities. Widespread application of this model corrects = information failure situations'by providing people with the relevant information relating to the governance sphere to make informed opinion and impact governance processes.
The model is based on disseminating/channeling information of critical value to the targeted audience or into the wider public domain with ICT and convergent media. The strength of this model is that ICT makes the concept of 'distance' and 'time' redundant when information is hosted on a digital network, and this could be used advantageously by instantly transferring the critical information to its strategic user group located anywhere or by making it freely available in the wider public domain.
This model is highly significant model for developing countries and can be used for empowering people.
This model builds the momentum of real-world processes by adding the opinions and concerns expressed by virtual communities. This model helps the global civil society to impact on global decision-making processes. It is based on setting up a planned, directed flow of information to build strong virtual allies to complement actions in the real world. Virtual communities are formed which share similar values and concerns and these communities in turn link up with or support real-life groups/activities for concerted action. Hence, it creates a diversity of virtual community and the ideas, expertise and resources are accumulated through this virtual form of networking. In addition, it is able to mobilise and leverage human resources and information beyond geographical, institutional and bureaucratic barriers and use it for concerted action.
It opens avenues for direct participation of individuals in governance processes and brings in greater objectivity and transparency in decision-making processes through ICT. Fundamentally, ICT has the potential to bring in every individual in a digital network and enable interactive (two-way) flows of information among them. Under this model, the various services offered by the Government become directly available to its citizens in an interactive manner. It does so by opening up an interactive Government to Consumer to Government (G2C2G) channel in various aspects of governance, such as election of government officials (e-ballots); redressing online of specific grievances; sharing of concerns & providing expertise; opinion polls on various issues; etc.

Marketing Platforms Southeast Asia
Shopee to bolster support for brands with two new major programs
Post author By Shaina Teope
Shopee Brands Summit
Singapore – E-commerce Shopee in Southeast Asia and Taiwan has unveiled its 2021 roadmap for brands on its in-app mall, Shopee Mall, during the platform's inaugural Shopee Brands Summit 2021. It revealed two new major programs to further bolster brands' consumer reach.
One of them is the 'Regional Champion Brands Programme', a by-invite program that will comprise 16 brands who will receive priority support from Shopee in the areas of marketing, innovation, and insights. These brands will also receive exclusive access to Shopee's campaigns and new feature launches, as well as dedicated support to further grow their business.
Meanwhile, the second program is the '100 Million Dollar Club', which will challenge brands to achieve USD100M in gross merchandise value (GMV) within the year. The first ten brands to unlock this milestone will be rewarded with special perks, including privileged access to exclusive business insights, increased campaign exposure, media support, and more.
During the summit, Shopee's leadership team also revealed its targeted plans to further empower brands on the platform. As a start, Shopee looks to scale its mega shopping events and brand collaborations to boost brands' online visibility and help them capture new consumers. Shopee also shared that it will be scaling up its Shopee Premium offerings and campaigns and expanding its assortment to include more premium fashion and beauty brands.
To help fast-moving consumer (FMCG) brands, on the other hand, to capture a growing segment of online grocery shoppers, Shopee will be ramping up Shopee Mart, its one-stop shop for groceries and personal care products.
Shopee will also continue to improve its in-app engagement tools to allow brands to continuously connect and engage with existing consumers. For instance, Shopee most recently upgraded its Shopee Live feature to support co-streaming.
Meanwhile, to encourage more frequent purchases and further deepen brands' understanding of consumers' purchasing habits and preferences, Shopee has also introduced the Brand Membership program to increase consumer retention by rewarding shoppers with loyalty points when they shop from brands' official stores on Shopee Mall.
When it comes to its data-driven tools, Shopee said it's constantly upgrading to further assist brands in tracking, analyzing, and optimizing their store performance.
According to Shopee, orders have grown by 10 times since launching Shopee Mall. Similarly, the ongoing impact of the pandemic on retail traffic has also driven more brands to expand their online businesses, with the number of official stores on the in-app mall doubling in the past year.
In his welcome address, Chris Feng, chief executive officer of Shopee, said, "Shopee Mall is an integral part of our business, and we have a strong track record of helping brands to transit, grow and succeed online. Today, Shopee Mall houses more than 20,000 international and local brands, a four-fold increase from when we first launched in 2017."
"As opportunities in Southeast Asia's digital economy continue to flourish, we are committed to strengthening our support for brands to boost their online presence, drive sales and serve consumers better. We will also continue to innovate our platform, services, and features to meet the ever-changing needs of our consumers, delivering a seamless and fun shopping experience," added Feng.

Q: Complexity of a recursive function with a loop I have a recursive function working on a list, the function contains a loop where itself is called, and ends up with another function g. Its structure is similar as follows, to simplify the issue, we can assume that l is always a list without duplicate elements.
let rec f l = function
  | [] -> g ()
  | _ ->
      List.fold_left
        (fun acc x ->
           let lr = List.filter (fun a -> (a <> x)) l in
           acc + (f lr))
        1 l

I am not sure how to express the complexity of this function, with List.length l and the complexity of g.
I think it is proportional to the complexity of g and the factorial of List.length l, could anyone confirm?

A: Okay.  I don't mean to seem mustrustful. This really does look like a functional programming homework because it's not very practical code.
Let F(n) be the number of comparisons plus the number of additions for an input of length n. And let G be the run time of g.  Since g doesn't take any operands, G is constant. We are just counting the number of times its called.
The fold will execute its function n times.  Each execution will call filter to do n comparisons and remove exactly one element from its input each time, then recursively call f on this shortened list and do one addition.  So the total cost is
F(n) = n * (n + F(n - 1) + 1)  [ if n > 0 ]
 = G  [ otherwise ]
The first term expands to
F(n) = n * F(n - 1) + n^2 + n
This is O(n! + n^3 + n^2 + nG) = O(n! + nG) as you proposed.
I hope this is helpful.

A: Since you assume that the list l does not contain any duplicates, what this function does is compute all sublists that have one less element than the original list and call itself recursively on all of them. So, the number of times g is called when starting with a list of size n is g?(n) = n · g?(n-1) = n!
Now, let's consider everything else the function has to do. The amount of work at each step of the recursion includes :

*

*For each element in the original list, constructing a new list of one less element. This is a total amount of work equal to n2

*Once the result of the recursive call is known, add it to an accumulator. This is a total amount of work equal to n (this part can be ignored, since the filter is more costly).

So, since we know how many times each recursive step will be called (based on our previous analysis), the total amount of non-g related work is: t?(n) = n2 + n (n-1)2 + n (n-1) (n-2)2 + ... + n!
This formula looks like a pain, but in fact t?(n) / n! has a finite non-zero limit as n increases (it is the sum of the k+1  / k! with 0 < k < n) and so t?(n) = Θ(n!).

Alan Osborne Retires from Hennebery Eddy Architects
After 20 years of award-winning design practice, operational leadership, staffing management, and professional development oversight, Hennebery Eddy Architects Vice President Alan Osborne, AIA, has retired from the firm.
Alan joined Hennebery Eddy in 2000, designing and managing higher education, institutional, commercial design, public facility planning and renovation, site master planning, and hospitality projects. Throughout his career, clients have appreciated his attention to detail, proactive management style, and problem solving – he was described by one client as "not just seeing a potential problem up ahead, but seeing it from down the street and around the corner."
Alan's thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to design and focus on the human experience spans markets and project size. Early in his career with Hennebery Eddy, he served as project manager for the design of the Loyola Jesuit Center in Portland, the design of which was recognized with local, regional, and national awards. More recently, his design leadership for 1,600-square-foot Our Lady of Montserrat Chapel at Seattle Preparatory High School resulted in a Religious Architecture Honor Award from the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture and Faith & Form Magazine, and a Wood Design Award from US WoodWorks. Alan was also principal-in-charge of some of the firm's significant higher education projects, including the rehabilitation of 116,000-square-foot Strand Agriculture Hall at Oregon State University, completed in 2016, and Cordley Hall at OSU, currently in construction. Alan's recent civic and government projects include the 2019 DeMuro Award-winning Sherman County Courthouse in Moro, Oregon, and seismic retrofit and interior modification of the Oregon State Supreme Court building in Salem.
Alan was instrumental in forming the Oregon chapter of the Design-Build Institute of America, helping to establish Hennebery Eddy as a leader in design-build and alternative project delivery methods. He earned his certification as an Associate Design-Build Professional, one of only three professionals to earn certification in Oregon in 2018.
Congratulations, Alan! Thank you for your countless contributions to the firm. We will miss your steady leadership, foresight, and counsel, and will ask ourselves regularly, "What would Alan do?"

Accra, March 19, GNA- Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, Minister of Ports, Harbours and Railways has said measures were being put in place to reduce the time for clearing goods from the ports. Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi who gave the assurance at a buffet dinner in Accra in honour of the visiting trade delegation from Amsterdam, Netherlands said this would go a long way to reduce cost of goods on the Ghanaian market.
The 17-member delegation from different companies of the Amsterdam Seaports arrived in Ghana on March 16 for a five-day visit. Led by Mr Mark van der Horst, Vice Mayor of the City of Amsterdam, the mission would concretise agreements between the Netherlands and Ghana which were entered into during a similar visit of a trade mission to Ghana in March last year.
Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi said it was gratifying to note the consistent and impressive growth in transit, traffic through the Tema and Takoradi ports to the landlocked countries of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
This, he said, was a clear manifestation that the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) would in the not too distant future, realise its vision of becoming a maritime hub, the most efficient one-stop service in the ECOWAS sub-region and Africa and indeed a reliable maritime gateway to the West African sub-region.
The Ports, Harbours and Railways Minister pointed out that it was in pursuit of this vision that GPHA in conjunction with other stakeholders in the maritime industry, intended to implement a number of programmes to enhance the transit and trans-shipment potentials of the ports of Ghana.
The measures, Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi said included the asphalting of the trunk road from the Port of Tema to the Northern border town of Paga into a first class access channel to Burkina Faso, and the development of an inland port at Boankra near Kumasi with facilities to consolidate cargoes meant for the northern sector and the landlocked neighbours.
He was optimistic that besides satisfying government's desire to make the private sector the engine of economic growth, these measures and projects, would undoubtedly help GPHA to achieve its ultimate goal of reducing the cost of doing business at the ports and to facilitate the flow of trade through them.
Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi praised GPHA for entering into cordial and fruitful relationship with Dutch Companies in the development of the nation's ports, and hoped the bonds of friendship between Ghana and Holland would be further cemented and strengthened.
Mr Horst said the Amsterdam Seaports considered to be one of the fastest growing ports in Northwest Europe, has had an annual average growth of five per cent over the past 20 years.
He said the Seaports provide the region with around 70,000 jobs, in addition to handling around 70 million tonnes of cargo annually. On cocoa, he said the Amsterdam port had been the most important import-port for the handling and storage of the commodity for many years now.
Giving statistics, Mr Horst said between 16 and 20 per cent of the total world production of cocoa, was being handled in the ports of his country, adding, "our stevedores and warehousing companies have all the necessary qualities and experience to handle the cocoa efficiently."
The delegation returns home on Saturday, March 20.
