What native apps do people want to see for BlackBerry 10?
Due to the fact that running Android apps on BlackBerry 10 can be problematic and BlackBerry World severely lacks native apps for BlackBerry 10, I have decided I will see what writing apps is all about, with the goal of hopefully writing some (GOOD) native apps for BlackBerry 10. I have no programming experience other than writing a few programs on my graphing calculator in high school. I know it will not be easy and will probably take a lot of time because of how much I have to learn. If anyone wants to offer any tips, I am happy to receive them, but that is not the main reason I am posting this post.
My question is: what apps do people want to see most for BlackBerry 10? I already have a list of some possibilities, and these as well as answers I get here will be my goal for a long time down the road. I will obviously start with the most simple possible.
And again, any helpful input from people who are experienced in this area is gladly welcomed.
I apologize for not updating you about this sooner, but given the combination of 1) the fact that I will not be permitted to create apps for most (or all) major platforms (which was my biggest motivation for having interest in this project), and 2) the fact that personally, I recently (yes I know I'm behind) found out that BlackBerry is releasing the KeyOne and has released other Android OS smartphones which personally removes the sense of urgency for myself to create native BlackBerry 10 OS apps, and 3) this is a smaller reason, but I did not think through how serious a business-like endeavor this would be; I have decided for now (and possibly forever) that I will not seriously pursue this project of writing BlackBerry 10 OS apps. I apologize for any false hope that I have created.
If I decide to really jump back into this I will let you know, but for the time being, programming apps will not be a serious endeavor for me.

Assuming you mean Cascades apps when you mean native, they're in C and C++ combined with an old, unsupported version of the Qt framework. Since you say you don't have much of a background in programming, I wouldn't start by diving right into Qt, but rather through picking up the fundamentals through something more beginner friendly (Python or Ruby are good) and then extrapolating what you need to to Qt once you're comfortable.
But still, there are two categories of "native apps people want" for BB10. The first, larger, category is mostly off limits to independent developers: major apps from other platforms. If there was ever going to be a native Snapchat it wouldn't be when the platform was on its last legs. Even worse, there were/are native first party apps for Facebook and Whatsapp but they've since left/are in the process of leaving BB10. That doesn't stop people from fantasizing.
The second category is smaller but simpler: executing an idea. It doesn't have the instant draw of, say, a native Snapchat client, but if it's a good idea then it should have a healthy reception; take a look at Work Wide, for example. You say you have a list already so that's a good start.
First of all, thank you for your interest in BB10. As a long-time user, I appreciate it when developers come with new ideas and come up with new ways to make our devices more useful.
That said, we have seen several developers come on here over the years with the same questions and the same desire, but then disappear without a trace. It leaves a lot of people disappointed and frustrated.
What is your plan for developing and supporting your apps long-term? How will you maintain contact with users? It's not like the early days where there lots of potential users; there are few of us, and many are vocal about their needs. The ones who love your apps are going to tell you, and the ones who don't like your apps are definitely going to complain.
As previously stated, you won't be able to make any apps for the "must haves" but you could come up with independent apps of your own.
vr and ar almost a blank canvas. the field is still wide open. it might be a good place to test water... IMHO.
Isn't there already an app for that called Cast??
I want to lots of native application on blackberry world like..
Thank you, especially to thurask and meilenstein. thurask's post reminded me that, if I indicate to a public group of people that I have interest in this, I need to take it as seriously as a business endeavor, including doing some serious planning and thinking about every element of it and making good decisions (including how to make sure users can contact me when needed).
It is disappointing that I will mostly not be able to write major apps for other platforms. I did think about this shortly after making my post, and it is disappointing because these were the biggest reason I had interest in it in the first place.
Learning programming is great, but it's even better if you can have something to show for it. Unless you're already in the Mac ecosystem then focusing on iOS/macOS is out of reach, but you can still learn about writing for Android, Windows, Linux, or the web.
And the replies before this one prove my point that fantasizing lives on.
Not sure of the ins-and-outs of doing it, but a BlackBerry Pay app similar to Apple, Android, and Samsung Pay apps would be fantastic. Nothing of that sort available in the US.
I have my payment information loaded in my device for app world purchases. Settings > App Manager has a heading for "Card Emulation apps". IDK - seems like all the guts are there, but never followed through on developing card emulation apps.
It's disappointing; BlackBerry led the charge with NFC and mobile payment 5 years ago and they're nowhere to be seen in the marketplace. Google ate their lunch. Apple and Samsung are late to the party, but their market share is so damn big it doesn't matter.
Irony of it all is that that none of the devices out there handling sensitive transactions are as secure as BlackBerry. ... and NFC hasn't taken off in US because consumers are concerned with (wait for it) ... security.
Not sure of the ins-and-outs of doing it, but a BlackBerry Pay app similar to Apple, Android, and Samsung Pay apps would be fantastic.
The "ins-and-outs" require negotiating with banks and credit card processors, and building software that follows strict security guidelines. Good luck setting that up as an experienced independent developer, let alone a novice.
Couldn't it be done though? As long as he meets the requirements? And gets the OK from said institutions/processors?
Sure, and if I had wheels I'd be a wagon.
No chance. None. Absolutely not going to happen.
Dev of beautiful native Telegram app is willing to update/fix it… anyone interested in taking part?

I've noticed some problems with cyrillic when using pidgin, and before that gaim.
Status messages in cyrillic (UTF-8) do not appear correctly in the contact list - it seems they are interpreted as 1 byte character, not as utf-8 that they are really. Happens in WinXP pro sp2 (official pidgin build), Linux (NLD9/Suse 9.1) (pidgin compiled from source). Seen on icq protocol. Not verified on others. You may see screenshots from winxp at http://hristo.todorov.googlepages.com/pidgin-probl.zip or in the attachment. QIP and ICQ6 both represent them correctly.
Offline messages in cyrillic (UTF-8), icq protocol again, do not show correctly. They are correctly identified as 2byte character but showed with "?" - question mark for a character instead of the actual character. Otherwise cyrillic works fine. A log file with such offline message is in the archive above. No other cyrillic texts in it though. This one is taken under linux, but same happens on windows.
I am avalable for any tests required.

What do you have your encoding set to in the account preferences? Can you get a packet dump of a connection that shows these problems?
In account preferences - in windows CP1251, this was selected automaticly by pidgin, which is right it the program was non-unicode, in linux - UTF-8. After manually switching to UTF-8 in winxp there is no change.
However there is a way to detect unicode and I belive it's pidgin who should transcode if there are different encodings. Both systems are in unicode mode. Full Packet dump is around 1400 packets - full pidgin start, with filtered yahoo, and jabber protocols. I'll attach it here if you advise me how to remove the login info.
What client is buddy 64378489 using? As best I can tell, the away message for this buddy *really is* gibberish. If Pidgin is showing РџРѕС..., it is showing what is truly in the packet. I'm not sure what is going on here. The message is well-formed 2-byte Unicode for the HTML framing, but the text body contains junk.
Infact uin 127846416 is the same jarja from the screenshots.
There is no way for us to predict this complete brokenness. If they are truly using the official client, then it is broken and mishandling encodings. I do not know how we can detect this situation and correct for it.
I confirm that converting that UTF-16 to Windows-1251 results in that valid UTF-8 string.
Also, that does indeed seem to be an official ICQ client; we've worked around plenty of broken ICQ i18n problems before, and we should try to work around this one.
We already special-case "unicode-2.0," as it's not the canonical name of any encoding iconv understands. We should, therefore, assume ICQ reserves the right to choose how it should be interpreted (especially since other official clients can handle it), instead of just making it a synonym for UCS2-BE.
In this case, it seems like we should go through the list of fallback encodings, convert the "unicode-2.0" string to them, and see if the result validates as UTF-8. If none of them do, treat it as UTF-16. It's definitely crack.
It seems this particular string is not a user-set string, but a hard-coded "auto-away" status message. l4ko, does this happen for all status messages, or just auto-status messages? If the latter, we may even be able to just special case the few status messages that have this problem.
This is a duplicate of #544, but I'm closing that one since this has much more information (Great bug report, l4k0!).
There are other, similar, "ICQ clients don't bother with decent i18n" bugs that are probably also duplicates of this. I'll go through on a case basis.
I4ko, can users of the official client read your away messages properly?
It's looks much more like a protocol/icq client related bug now.
elb: Both official ICQ6 and unofficial client (QIP) do not show Pidgin's away messages, either preset in english (latin) or custom (cyrillic). Official localized ICQ 5.1 abv.bg show predefined message in client(itself) for pidgin away and does not show custom text also.
Pidgin to pidgin seems ok (tested on the same app, icq uin added as buddy in aim account). Pidgin does not show at all ICQ6 status, either custom or preset. QIP shows only latin ICQ6 statuses. Pidgin shows correctly ICQ 5.1 abv.bg status in latin.
Custom status set in QIP shows ok in ICQ 5.1 abv.bg, both latin and cyrillic, but does not show in ICQ6.
jabber does not seem to be affected.
seanegan: This seem like a predefined messages to me, but the build I got today after install had predefined messages in english. May be because it's not a clean install as I had a generic ICQ 5.1 before and some registry entries were not deleted as i had a list with the custom statuses I used.
I'm testing with these clients since majority of windows users in Bulgaria are on ICQ 5.1 abv, most ot the rest on QIP, and just a few on ICQ6, miranda, trilian... Pidgin and old version of gaim are used by the linux/unix folks.
I4ko: thanks a lot for clarifying that, I really appreciate you keeping with us on this bug. You're providing a lot of very valuable information that we often have trouble getting.
I think we'll implement Sean's suggestion for viewing ICQ 5.1 away messages; we'll have to look more closely at ICQ6 statuses, I don't have any idea why they don't show (MarkDoliner might, hopefully he'll weigh in here at some point). With any luck, the 5.1 fix will be in 2.0.2 (although I'm running out of time to make that happen).
If you can, please try the diff I just attached to this ticket, and see if it helps things out.
I went ahead and committed, this is hopefully fixed for 2.0.2.
But when the client send online cyrillic messages they are received as expected. This scenario work for almost all different clients on the other side.
Hello, sorry for reopening but I was away from computers and internet for some days.
The fix that Elb implemented does not work for me. I've tested with 2.0.1 patched and 2.0.2. However this is under linux and I compiled from sources. I cannot be quite sure since the system is NLD9 and is quite broken by itself. I'll test the official windows build this evening.
Btw what is the proper name for *1251, is it CP1251, CP-1251, or windows-1251, iconv seems to understand CP1251. This is because I've tried changing the UTF-8 in the oscar protocol encoding to 1251, but still no luck, so I'm back to UTF-8.
The offline messages still behave the same, but they were not discussed, right?
Does it not work any better than what was in before at all, or does it fix some things, but not everything, or what?
There is no proper name, it is a nonstandard encoding. Use whatever works with your iconv. Note that for the changes I committed to have any effect, you _must_ have your encoding set to CPwhatever.
I don't know; if they were similarly broken, they should have been fixed. If they are not, they wouldn't be.
Hello Elb I've tested with the official windows build of pidgin. It fixes some of the things, when protocol encoding is set to "CP1251"; although "WINDOWS-1251" is a valid iconv encoding it yelds no effect. With "CP1251" message is correctly displayed in the buddy list, but is still not correct in the Buddy Information window.
Offline messages still does not seem ok, this is what i received "::9E:A409E:49" for a random string of cyrillic letters.
This is not releated here, but I see messages only on Away status. When user is with Not Available status - custom messages are not shown in buddy list (it shows "Idle XXmin - Not Available") - may be this is the way it is supposed to be. Also other clients have the behaveour of showing status message when the conversation window is opened for the contact, pidgin does not seem to do it.
WINDOWS-1251 may not be a valid iconv encoding on Windows; these things vary from system to system. Furthermore, I'm not *really* sure what g_convert uses to do its dirty work on Windows, it may not even be iconv. In any event, if CP1251 works, more the better.
I'm not sure I understand what's happening to offline messages ... is there any way you could get me a packet capture of one of those? That looks like UCS-2 being displayed as UTF-8 directly. Looking at our offline message decoding, though, I'm certain it's wrong; if I can get a sample of an offline message, I can probably fix it.
For me on Windows XP the problem disappeared with the encoding set to CP1251. I've captured some packages and found offline message encoded as CP1251. There is maybe some related problem: I've tried encoding UTF-8,CP1251 but it doesn't work. It's strange since UTF-8 can be easily recognized. It seems if the UTF-8 codec can't decode some character it's just replaced by "?" which is wrong behavior.
ICQ does not support fallback encodings. Replacing an unrecognized character with '?' is not "wrong behavior"; what would you suggest we do?
Ugh, if ICQ doesn't support fallback encodings then there is nothing to do. :-) I thought if UTF-8 can't be properly decoded the decoder should skip to the next available codec since UTF-8 can be differentiated from other encodings.
I'll do the packet capture for the offline packets soon.
As for the incorrect representation of UTF-8 in 1251, the patch and 2.0.2 have corrected the problem on the buddy list. As i previously found, it's still present in the buddy information window, and now I also found it when someone asks you for autorization and enters cyrillic messages in the auth request, the requst displayed by pidgin has the same utf-8 in 1251.
Also, my linux pidgin is working after setting CP1251, it seems it was needed to restart the whole program than just disable/enable the account.
Hello I'm unable to reproduce a problem with offline messages now.
I'm attaching some more screenshots of places with broken encoding.
Does that mean that offline messages work properly?
I'll look into the auth and info problems.
The offline messages I've been able to test are all displayed correct. I've recevied some offilne messages from contacts using third party clients that are still not ok, but I can't reprodice them easily. I've done a capture with one client that online messages are correct, but offline are not. However it may be that the client is broken. The uin of the contact is 402329335.
#695 #2161 #1277 #1119 #829 #762 #2670 and #936 have been closed as duplicate of this issue. I'm raising the priority as it is a major issue. hopefully it's possible to fix it.
...just beeing jealous: Are there any information we can provide, which would help you to fix this? Using Vista/XP Pro with an ICQ account here.
What I need is packet dumps of the particular packets which contain messages which are displayed incorrectly. So far, when presented with such information, we've been able to figure something out to fix it in most cases. For now, we also need to be sure that the remote client is using the official ICQ client -- the various third-party implementations are known to be more or less broken with respect to i18n, and we do not want to make the situation worse, if we can help it.
I would really like to see this issue resolved, as well.
Elb, sorry I don't have time to take packet captues now but last 2 versions of Pidgin were broken on Win and Linux. I've set two accounts on a spare computer which is going to be online for a while. You can take packet captures from these. They sould be set with lowest privacy and no authentication.
456423097 - nickname Лилав; name Гълъб; surname Тестов. ICQ client - ABV ICQ 6 Will have status message for online "Тест за лилавия гълъб" as subject and text.
497905632 - nickname Лилав; surname Тестов. ICQ client - ABV ICQ 5.1 Will have status message for online "Тест за лилавия гълъ" as subject and "Тест за лилавия гълъб" as text.
I've set them no to go away, but if that happens i'll transcribe the messages.
Attached a tiny paket with broken coding. Didn't do that before, so if other things are needed, please let me know. I am using wireshark.
Mh just recognized that with qip-users only the "BUDDY-info"-window (the one, which you can activate by clicking on the blue I-icon) doesn't seem to work. The pop-up-window in the "buddy-list" (lower right corner in the screenshot) has the correct encoding! Just like the "AIM-Info" -window.
If qip is a third-party client, we really need only information for the official ICQ clients. Third-party clients mess this up in any manner of weird and wonderful ways.
No comment about my networt-capture? That was an official ICQ5.1 User!
I appreciate your capture, I simply have not had time to look at it.
I analyzed the problem with the wrong german umlauts (see Tafkadasom2k5's post). It seems that the crap ICQ 5.1 client sends the away message in UTF-8 although it says >>> text/x-aolrtf; charset="iso-8859-1" <<< in the received packet. Don't know how to workaround this bug. Maybe we have to somehow figure out the client used or we always interpret it as UTF-8 (this could break other stuff).
Sounds logical: In the away-messages, every german umlaut is shown as strange letters. The 5.1 client sends UTF-8 (2 bytes afaik?) and pidgin converts it into >2< ISO-charset letters.
Hi, I had the same problem as in #829, but I saw that you closed it as a duplicate of this bug, so I write here. Here is a patch, that solved my problems with non-ASCII strings in Nick, FirstName and LastName fields (they was disappearing). The problem was in oscar_user_info_convert_and_add().
I have seen quite similar behaviour with first versions of Pidgin. With current version I did not notice it. But I'll have to check it. My system is Windows-1250 (czech language) Windows XP SP2 Professional.
Status messages and offline messages were fine for me with 2.2.1 when I set encoding to CP1251 in ICQ account preferences, but now with 2.2.2 I get status messages looking like UTF-8 text displayed with CP1251 character table. Offline messages are fine.
(In 6df6c1c77de03ad4f66d5104b6262418260096f2) This is a fix from goyko for ICQ character set conversion in user info.
I test pidgin 2.3.0. When I set UTF-8 charset, status displaied fine in buddy list and in user info. When I set cp1251 user info displayed with cp1251 character table in user info like "Занят", but in buddy list fine. I think, away message always encoded in UTF-8.
I try UTF-8 and cp1251 encoding for my ICQ account. In both cases status messages displayed correctly. Please try diff. I test this patch with official ICQ client. Please try this patch between 2 Pidgin client.
I have writtern qIp fix plugin for Pidgin under GPL license http://fialky.com/drupal-5.0/?q=node/13. I will be delighted by new fixes and improvements of this plugin. In the better way, integration to the next release of Pidgin.
Please see #4978 and related tickets.
In version 2.3.1, it was not such an error, and the message read perfectly. The journal reports are displayed correctly. My system: WinXP SP2. How can I correct this error?
(Re)install pidgin-2.3.1; when asked to re-install older GTK version say "yes".
Install current pidgin-2.4.0; when asked to install newer GTK version say "no".
I'm experiencing the problems mentioned in ticket #4980 ("Error receiving this message") with German umlauts and both a friend who uses some MacOS client and another friend who uses Pidgin 2.3.1. Encoding *should* be cp1252, at least I never had any problems before upgrading to Pidgin 2.4.0. Upgrading to 2.4.1 did not help at all.
Also, with another buddy who uses Trillian, umlauts are displayed as completely different characters. ä=d, ö=v etc.
I'll try the workaround now, but please fix this.
Please incorporate this into the next version.
some status MSGs in Bulgarian (I suppose) are shown garbled in pidgin.
My client is set to UTF-8 all of the time. I can take a packet dump, if somebody is willing to cooperate on the Windows side, preferably knowing Bulgarian/Russian?. My icq is 289594325, on-line usually evenings in JST (GMT+09:00) timezone.
This is not exactly a bug -- it's a usability problem, but it's simply a configuration problem. You need to set your encoding (in the account modify dialog) to an appropriate setting. Probably CP1251 or Windows-1251 for Bulgarian, although I can't be sure of that.
I believe this is in fact a bug, although I believe offline messages work sometimes. Offline messages, status messages, invitations, etc. are where I believe we have remaining encoding problems which are more than simply difficult configuration problems.
This is the biggest problem we have, is finding people using official clients to test against.
Well, I partially agree with that, it will be more of a RFE, although I guess it will not be too difficult to implement if you think that the encoding in the prefs is what your client sends, and the encoding coming from the network is either autodetected or is included in the stream (I guess, for some protocols at least). In almost all cases I can write in Bulgarian or Japanese and people read properly (since pidgin is doing the right thing, I guess). Problem is reading what they say.
Speaking 5 languages, Cyrillic with 5 encodings and Japanese with 3 is not a fun soup to be drowned into. And it means that I cannot talk to a Shift_JIS and Win-1251 clients at the same time anyway.
Sorry to bloat this bug, this should be a separate bug, IMHO.
Fine for 2. and 3.
It seems somebody has to go deep into enemy territory, no other way... fine with me, I'll do it.
I'll set up a VirtualBox with WinXP guest and put there the official client working with another icq#. Then if you help me, we can do some testing and debugging.
The problem here is that ICQ, specifically, does not include the encoding in the stream -- and autodetection is more or less useless. You can, for example, autodetect with some success if you know that the stream is "Cyrillic" or "Japanese", and you have a table of encodings and some sort of heuristic to say "oh, too many capitals, this must be KOI-8R and not Windows-1251" or whatever (with Japanese encodings it's even a bit easier, because of the shift encodings). However, to throw characters on the ground and say "what is this?" without some pretty specific hints is not feasible.
If you set your outgoing encoding to UTF-8, most of the official clients will handle that; this is why people can read what you send. However, as you see, UTF-8 is not what the official clients send.
What you are seeing is a severe limitation (I would say bug) in the ICQ protocol itself. Unfortunately, we can't do a whole lot about it. In your case, you would need per-buddy or per-group (or similar) encoding preferences -- and we're not willing to compromise that much.
In ICQ, specifically, you shouldn't see that much diversity. I think the ICQ Windows and Mac clients do use different encodings for Cyrillic languages (though I don't remember for sure), but you should not see more than one Japanese encoding in our experience. There are also some official client encoding bugs in ICQ which cause for other "encodings" (gibberish strings, really) to show up, but I believe we have identified and worked around that for some time now.
That would be helpful. I cannot guarantee how much time I can spend on it in the short term, but if we can get a solid inventory of what does and doesn't work against the official client (i.e., a matrix of the various features -- offline, status, invitation, normal message, etc. -- and whether or not they work when the encoding preference is set appropriately) and some data on what encodings the official client uses where, that would be awesome. At this point, at least from my point of view, we're data-limited.
If this is ICQ protocol bug, how comes that using old GTK solves the problem?
kalin is describing a different problem than you are -- he is using Linux, where the various character conversion mechanisms work. You are using Windows, where there are specific versions of the glib/gtk libraries which cause conversion problems. If you are using Windows, and Pidgin 2.4.0 or 2.4.1, there is indeed a conversion problem which can be fixed by downgrading Gtk+. This is not what we are talking about.
elb: FYI that conversion problem should be fixed in 2.4.1 (by specifying UTF-16BE instead of UCS-2BE when converting stuff).
I have pasted some Japanese, Bulgarian and English from my website (didn't bother to install proper Cyrillic KBD).
Sending Bulgarian and Japanese both ways is fine.
The only thing that does not seem to work so far is when icq6 is offline and I send Bulgarian from pidgin -> it gets garbled.
I'll leave the icq6 on, chat me for test. I'll respond if around.
Those of you with access to original clients, feel free to run additional checks and fill out the table and provide packet dump data as possible.
I'd like to thank everyone on this ticket for helping out, and for providing such a wealth of information. With your continued help, we'll get this problem licked once and for all.
Pidgin 2.3.0 did not exhibit any of these errors. Encoding in account settings is set to CP1250 (did not touch that).
0000  00 00 e8 9f 26 ee 00 a0  c5 69 98 99 08 00 45 00   ....&... .i....E.

QIP has a hard-coded conversion from CP1251 – you can see UTF-16 code points in the Cyrillic range, although the original message contained only characters from the range U+0020 through U+017F.
Additional discovery: To most other clients (notably ICQ 5.1, ICQ 6, Miranda, or another QIP), QIP 2005 sends messages in UTF-8 (not in UTF-16BE as seen above) and with correct conversion. Something makes QIP determine which encoding it will be using. If we find out how to make QIP send UTF-8 messages to Pidgin too, this problem could go away – it is very painful for Czech Pidgin users because there could be about 40% of them using QIP 2005 every day.
The key might be client capabilities. Pidgin shows up in QIP having only a few of them (however, UTF-8 is listed among those), and having protocol version 0, whilst Miranda has version 8, official ICQ client has 9 and QIP has version 11.
I had the same problem. It seems that it was a problem with GTK. Things started to work again only after I manually cleansed my Windows Machine from GTK (removed registry entries and deleted files in %ProgramFiles?%\Common Files\GTK) and reinstalled pidgin with GTK included.
You were seeing an unrelated Gtk+ bug with similar effects; there are other instances of that bug cropping up in this discussion. We have since worked around it, but other encoding problems remain.
I made a research (http://live.jabbim.cz/1734-qip_2005_mojibake_the_cause) to validate this, and it turns out I was right. I have created a separate ticket (#6208) because I think this is just an enhancement, not a critical bug.
i think the bug is fixed now. there are no problems at all with ICQ6 statuses.. i can read hebrew there. the problem was with ICQ5.1, which is not in use anymore.
The problem mentioned in this ticket and ticket #4980 still exists with Pidgin 2.5.0. Instead of German umlauts I receive ascii letters ("v" instead of "ö") and so on.
I'm going to use the workaround mentioned in #4980 (installing Pidgin 2.3.1 and then upgrading to 2.5.0 without upgrading GTK+), but this really is a PITA. Obviously someone on the GTK team screwed this up, but how can a bug this annoying not be fixed after half a year?
Yours is a different issue, not at all related to this.
Could you reopen #4980 then?
Confirm encoding problem under 2.5.0. Messages from QIP broken. Messages from ICQ OK. WinXP.
hello. i use pidgin 2.2.1 in ubuntu 7.10. this encoding problem is here: when somebody sends message with win1251 when my im client is offline, when i turn on, it is shown as encoded with iso-8859-1 .
sometimes, it is with qip (non-unicode old versions i think), their messages are decoded with iso-8859-1 .
a group name in pidgin is shown as Собеседники . i'll try rename it again, but one time when i renamed it, i could not, it was not renamed properly.
i said this three things about icq.
Here are the contents of the text in the ICQ auth request. Pidgin 2.5.3 on Ubuntu Intepid. This is UTF-8. Pidgin apparently tries to decode it as CP1251.
0000   09 34 34 32 30 39 35 33 36 39 00 ad d0 a1 20 d0  .442095369.... .

the message in utf-8 is "С помощью этой программы, вы можите посмотреть с кем и о чем общается ваш друг по icq." plus the url of the trojan.
Ticket #7645 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.
that all strage displaying simbols starts from 00. It means that it will use main codepage to interpret them. For windows configured to use Cyrillic, main codepage is cp1251. So when we extracting symbols from it we get ї, Є and і.
What you are describing isn't UTF-16, it's madness. U+00BF is not ï, it is ¿. Same for the other text you posted. UTF-16 (nor any Unicode encoding) does not work the way you describe. The text that eugene2k pasted is indeed valid UTF-8.
What client is producing these messages that you're pasting? I strongly suspect it is not the official ICQ client.
yes. It's qip problem, I saw a lot of people has this problem. I have cp1251 configured for icq in pidgin, but this doesn't help. In some cases qip option CI(you can find it in config file) can change situation, but by default it isn't correct(I think it change symbol coding method or so that all symbols are in UTF16).
And one more thing. I think it need to encode this UTF-16 chars(which starts from 00) using charset setting for this account in pidgin or from servers description of person you are writing to.
00 means that it will be just "ASCII" code(main codepage symbol) --- ASCII is a character table that goes up to 127. The rest is reserved.
So in windows you will see ї, but not this "¿" strange symbol. --- You don't have different characters in unicode which depend on the active codepage. That's the whole point of the standard: to not have codepages. What you have instead is a set of standardized unicode symbols, with the turned question mark being 0x00bf. Check the symbol table in windows yourself if you don't beleive me.
If qip displays 0x00BF as (ї), then it's a qip problem, because it surely isn't in the utf-16 standard. Moreover qip must be doing something additionally to replace the characters it recieves.
It's just my interpretation of what happened and why win shows normally messages in Cyrillic from qip. I understand a lot of things in linux/unix world(now I'm porting mono), so I don't want to speak about some realization things. I found why this happen and how we can fix it. If I have only free time to do it by myself. Also, I know that it is a qip bug and I dislike this client and ask my friends to use other clients or protocols, but this can't solve a problem for now. Some users have this problem with pidgin/qip (I already so other slavonic users), but for example kopte/qip doesn't have such a problem. I'm a GNOME/GTK+ user so I prefer pidgin, but some small bugs .
PS: Also I have a problem with Cyrillic letters in authorization request.
I have made plugin for correction of "broken WINDOWS-1251 to UTF8 QIP 2005 encoding". It's name is "QIP Decoder" and you can find in in wiki:ThirdPartyPlugins and see the source for details. The Russian QIP authors didn't make neither fully-working WINDOWS-1251 encoding. I think the "QIP problem" can be solved only for local scope (one selectable common encoding, like WINDOWS-1250) - this is, what I am doing in the plugin (with auto detection).
Ticket #8025 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.
Ticket #6466 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.
Mark, what are the chances that this situation is at least somewhat improved with your most recent changes for auth request encoding?
My change for auth request was very specific for auth request encoding and should not affect anything else.
Adding Ivan to the cc list. As far as I know all ICQ encoding issues have been fixed. That is to say, Pidgin behaves in a way that is 100% compatible with official ICQ clients, and as compatible as possible with 3rd party clients while not breaking compatibility with the official client.
If people still encounter problems I suspect it's the fault of the other client. But feel free to post specific problems, and include information about what client the other person was using.


Economic liberalization in India has led to an upwardly mobile middle class, whose spending power is increasing rapidly.
Urbanization has taken India by storm in last two decades,and we find an urgent need for affordable residential spaces, which live up to the rising demand of the aspiring first time buyers.
This pace of growth has further been accelerated by a plethora of purchase options and considering that the middle class or the first time buyer will be throwing in the last penny from their life saving to make this dream a reality, their investments need to be safeguarded from various factors that could prove to be instrumental in destroying its validity as well the reputation of the real estate sector.
Due diligence acts as the shield against the innumerable variables which could make one's property redundant and hence a detailed due diligence of the property is a must to insulate the sale from future legal complications.
This mainly includes legal clearances, payment of municipal, electricity, water charges and property credentials in the local registrar's office along with occupation and completion certificates. These two certificates show that the property meets local development rules and are usually the basis on which individual connections for electricity, water and sewage are granted.
Expert Advice: Look out for "Allotment Letter and Sanction Letter" certificate, also check if the floor of the apartment you are purchasing exists in the construction plan or not avoid any future legal hassles. (Certain bye-laws may differ from state to state, as development authorities across the country are government by state governments).
More often than not, investment in under construction properties turns out to be more economically viable for the home buyer. One needs to make sure that before the sale is made, the parent documents of the land, development approvals, and transfer of development rights to the builder are checked.
A clear land title is a must and should be validated. The buyer should confirm whether the land on which the project has been planned is sanctioned by competent authority of the area.
Banking and financial institutions have a foolproof system of due diligence before processing loans. They have dedicated team which can do more work and research on a project than any person in an individual capacity.
Also while your loss can have to potential to be the biggest loss in your life, it's still way to less in simple monetary terms that an institution may have to bear.
Expert Advice: In a sector which is a potential minefield for various legal pit-falls, a smarter route would be to verify whether known Banking and Financial Institutions are open to providing loans for the project. Is the project aspired for, on their approved list?
The resume of the Developer, in terms of projects completed is as important as the project itself. A great deal for a customer, would also be a property or project which gets completed on time and is free from legal tangles. This is only possible if the builder has a good reputation in the market and has been an industry player over a longer period of time.
Expert Advice: Check previous projects and properties of the developer; if possible make a physical check on the previous properties. The future value of the invested property can be gauged by comparing the current value of his earlier completed projects benchmarking it to competition. In case the developer is new in the market it is advisable that a more meticulous study is undertaken.
With multiple Developers in the fray, the buyer should be on the constant look-out for attractive schemes to make the investment sweeter.
Expert Advice: Look out for considerable discounts on upfront payments, additional parking space and discounts on fittings, furnishing to the investor.
Though real-estate in India promises a remarkable return on investment, certain areas still hold large inventories and hence absorption could take some time. Hence it is advisable to invest in one's own property as an end-user, rather than look out for short term gains.
Expert Advice: If you are in for a long run, invest in a larger apartment with amenities like open spaces and playgrounds, top-of-the-line security measures and landscapes, as these factors are important if you are looking turn an apartment in to a home for your family.
Investing in a residential property is not just a financial investment but an emotional decision as well, and therefore one's maiden purchase has to be built on a rock solid foundation pivoting on in-depth research and multiple - level due diligence.

Home team in capital letters; point spreads (opening line) in parentheses after underdog team, selections with point spreads in bold.
DETROIT 28 (P), Philadelphia 17 - Every day a new scandal comes out involving the Eagles, leading to the now all but universal speculation that Chip Kelly is on the way out - and while their 6-0 record on Thanksgiving dating back to 1939 (!) is receiving more than a fair share of publicity, considerably less-well-known, but arguably more relevant, in addition to their conflagrated locker room, is their 2-5-1 spread record since 2012 inside NFL domes.
DALLAS 31, Carolina 24 (+1) - Forget about America's Team: The Cowboys are Valtrex's Team - because it is indeed a brand new day for them with Tony Romo back: Not only is Romo 27-6 lifetime in November including 16-2 at home, but he's 4-0 against the Panthers, who can be accurately characterized as Thumann's Team with all the hot-dogging they're doing. But they're pretty cold dogs on artificial turf - 9-22-1 straight up and 10-22 against the spread since 2008, and in domes (assuming the roof at Jerry World will be closed, as it wasn't in their last home game for the first time since 2012) - 8-15 outright and 9-13-1 pointwise since that same year. So ignore the apparent illogicality of a 3-7 team being favored against a 10-0 team.
GREEN BAY 38, Chicago 14 (+9) - The Packers righted the ship last week, and that ship rarely encounters rough seas when facing the Bears, either straight up (10-1 in the last 11 versus Chicago) or even against the spread (9-2) - and won't here either.
N.Y. Giants 27, WASHINGTON 17 (+1) - And Kelly may not be the only endangered NFC East head coach, after the Giants make it six in a row both ways over The Team That Dares Not Speak Its Name (which is also an NFL-worst, in percentage terms, 6-16 in fatigue games, as the Giants were among the last batch of teams having byes, last week) and disabuses Jay-Jay of any silly playoff notions he might have had.
Miami 20 (+3), N.Y. JETS 14 - Usually one of the two New York/Jersey teams play in the early time slot and the other in the late time slot (unless one of them either has a Thursday, Sunday or Monday night game, or a bye), but that is not the case this week for some reason. Also not the case is the Dolphins having lost the first meeting at home and now have to play the Jets on the road, as the first meeting was in London - and you can't possibly like what the Jets have been doing in the last five weeks, and Miami already has one cold-weather win this year, in Philadelphia two weeks ago.
ATLANTA 27, Minnesota 20 (+2) - Minnesota's bubble may have burst last week, and despite their four-game losing streak, the Falcons can actually take something resembling a commanding lead in the NFC wild-card race with a win.
JACKSONVILLE 17, San Diego 14 (+4 1/2) - Jacksonville's heaviest favoritism since the 2011 season finale. Will this heady wine prove too much for them - especially facing a team that has beaten them four in a row by a combined 133-47? Take the points.
CINCINNATI 27, St. Louis 10 (+9) - If the Bengals can't beat Case Keenum, and do it convincingly, they will be in real danger of becoming the first team in modern history to miss the playoffs after starting 8-0, or for that matter, even 7-0.
TENNESSEE 28 (+2), Oakland 23 - Marcus Mariota (who could be reunited with his college coach next year, according to one hot rumor) is a just plain better quarterback than Derek Carr, and TTTSBKATNO - The Team That Should Be Known As The Nashville Oilers - has won the last three meetings.
HOUSTON 31, New Orleans 17 (+3) - Since anybody who was really paying attention could have predicted what was going to happen to the Eagles and Lions this year, the Saints just might be the NFL's biggest disappointment this season - and the home team in this one has never disappointed, taking all three previous tilts, both ways, by an aggregate 94-53.
KANSAS CITY 20, Buffalo 16 (+5 1/2) - Tyrod Taylor has just had his rite of passage - courtesy of the oddsmakers, who held up posting a line on this game because Taylor (shoulder) is questionable. But Rex Ryan seems to think that Taylor will play even though he was "limited" in practice on Wednesday (whatever that is supposed to mean) and the Bills are 3-1 straight up and 4-0 against the spread in their last four at Arrowhead so I'll have faith in both and take the points.
INDIANAPOLIS 21, Tampa Bay 14 (+3) - Let's not overdo it just because the Buccaneers blew out a dumpster fire last week - and Matt Hasselbeck is 3-0 in relief of the injured Andrew Luck and the Colts have covered the spread in their last four against Tampa.
Arizona 33, SAN FRANCISCO 24 (+10 1/2) - Lay this number on the Cardinals in The City That's Known For Its Freedom (even though the games are actually in Santa Clara now) when they have lost their last six there and have been outscored 164-73 doing it? Can't bring myself to do that. If things go just the right way (Arizona having the ball with a two-score but non-covering lead late in the game, and running out the clock instead of trying to score more), the 49ers can manage to cover.
SEATTLE 24, Pittsburgh 9 (+4) - It was at this exact same point last year - after ten games - that the Seahawks made their storied run that fell short only at the 1-yard line in the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh last won or covered in Seattle in 1983, going 0-4 there since by a combined 99-35.
New England 27, DENVER 13 (+3 1/2) - Beating Jay Cutler on a failed two-point conversion is one thing. Getting the best of Tom Brady head-to-head is another, entirely - and this New England defense, currently ranked 15th overall, is a lot better than the one they had in 2011, which was 31st. It's way too early to tell if Brock Osweiler will ever be able to fill Peyton Manning's shoes - but right now, this is almost certainly too much to ask of him, too soon.
Baltimore 16 (+1), CLEVELAND 0 - The last time I looked, Johnny Manziel, 1) Is over the age of 21, and 2) Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Therefore, his convenient, sudden demotion, after having ostensibly been promised the starting job for the rest of the season, is an obvious attempt by the Cleveland front office to get where they really want to go: To the number one pick in the 2016 draft.
BEST BETS: DALLAS, GREEN BAY, N.Y. GIANTS

Paris Saint-Germain sign off for the Ligue 1 winter break on a winning note thanks to a 3-1 defeat of Caen at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.
Paris Saint-Germain have signed off for the Ligue 1 winter break on a winning note thanks to a 3-1 defeat of Caen at the Parc des Princes.
Both sides began the game brightly, with Ronny Rodelin firing over the bar for Caen on three minutes and Kylian Mbappe also blasting off target in the fifth minute.
However, PSG grew into the game and took the lead in the 21st minute when Edinson Cavani backheeled Mbappe's low cross into the net from close range.
Caen fired back as Rodelin forced a smart save from Kevin Trapp with a 24th-minute volley, while Adama Mbengue fired across the face of the PSG goal on the stroke of half time.
Nonetheless, Unai Emery's charges went into the changing rooms a goal to the good and doubled their lead just before the hour mark.
Neymar released Giovani Lo Celso into the left-hand channel, and the Argentine crossed into the box for Mbappe to blast home with a fine finish on his left foot.
Yuri Berchiche then killed off the game with a third for PSG in the 81st minute, a ferocious finish into the bottom corner of Remy Vercoutre's net following a layoff from Neymar.
Caen managed to grab a consolation goal late on, however, when Thiago Silva's handball in the box meant a penalty for the visitors, which Ivan Santini drilled home.

Yes, there are actually foods that are especially healthy for the women. As you know, the male and female organism is different in many aspects and some foods are good for a man and destructively unhealthy for women.
It is important to consume at least one of the things you will read below. Just read and learn some things that you might have not known!
The choline in the egg yolks actually lowers the rate of breast cancer, along with antioxidants that may help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. Incredible, huh?! Eggs are not harmful – they are healthy. However, people with heart diseases should limit their consummation to two egg yolks in a week, but for the rest of us an egg a day is good.
The salmon is rich on vitamin D, and that makes it one of the best sources of omega-3. This acid helps the metabolism, prevents heart disease, smooths your skin and aids the weight loss. It can also boost your mood and minimize the effect of arthitis. The Omega-3 has another secret, however. It slows the rate of digestion, which makes you feel fuller longer and you consume fewer calories.
Shortly said, eatig nuts daily can reduce the risk of a heart disease and diabetes. Specifically the walnuts are rich on Omega-3 as well. The hazelnuts lowers the blood pressure. If you get tired of eating raw nuts, you can combine them with other foods. For example, I simply put a bit of nuts in my cereal in the morning.
This fruit is not only a great source of MUFAs, but they consist of other nutrients as well. Studies have found out that when you put avocado in your salad daily, it increases the absorbtion of specific carotenoids and lowers the risk of a macular degeneration and heart disease.
This is the most potent age-defying food. A diet rich on blueberries can help with memory loss, relieve eyestrain and prevent urinary tract infections. Just by adding about half a cup of blueberries to your diet it will be a great health benefit.
You know that apples are one of the healthiest fruits. Apples, along with the pears and the red wine, are the most effective at reducing the risk of death from a heart disease among the women in postmenopause. The apples can also reduce the risk of diebetes and lung cancer. They are often used in diets. And we all know that green apples also help the teeth to get whiter.
You don't have to feel guily when eating dark chocolate. It's a very healthy dessert! Not only is it low on calories but they keep the blood platelets from sticking together and unclogs your arteries. Two tablespoons of dark chocolate mixed with fruits a day is healthy!

Transition to Algebra Project
COVID-19 and Transition to Algebra
Transition to Algebra has a number of resources available for use in at-home and virtual lesson formats:
SolveMe Puzzle Apps. Everyone (students, parents, and teachers) can access the three free mathematics puzzle apps: Mobiles, MysteryGrid, and Who Am I?. Each of these apps have instructions available via the information icon (indicated with a question mark) and contain additional information for parents and teachers behind the information section's "About" tab.
PDF files of Teacher Guides and Student Books are available to teachers at schools that have purchased Transition to Algebra. Use the access code included at the bottom of the Table of Contents of the Series Overview booklet included in your Teacher Resources box.
Transition to Algebra Curriculum
Transition to Algebra (TTA) is an initiative of the Learning and Teaching Division at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC). Supported by the National Science Foundation, TTA seeks to quickly give students the mathematical knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in a standard first-year algebra class and showing them that they can explore mathematics and actually enjoy it.
TTA is a full-year algebra support curriculum, published by Heinemann and distributed by their parent company Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, designed to:
run concurrently with first-year algebra (though some schools use it as pre-algebra, in summer schools, or as supplemental materials in algebra); and
raise the competence and confidence of students who may benefit from supports for algebra success.
Please visit the transitiontoalgebra.com for sample materials and purchasing options.
TTA is designed to build students' algebraic habits of mind, key mathematical ways of thinking aligned with the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice. Students explore algebraic logic puzzles that connect to and extend algebra course topics and learn broadly-applicable tools and strategies to help them make sense of what they are learning in algebra. Students discuss and refine their ideas as they work through mental mathematics activities, written puzzles, spoken dialogues, and hands-on explorations that engage them in cultivating mathematical knowledge, intuition, and skills.

Q: How to stop an IPython cluster without the ipcluster command I don't start my IPython cluster with the ipcluster command but with the individual commands ipcontroller and ipengine because I use several machines over a network. When starting the cluster with the ipcluster command, stopping the cluster is rather straightforward:
ipcluster stop
However, I haven't been able to found the procedure when using the individual commands separately.
Thanks for your help

A: The easiest way is by connecting a Client and issuing a shutdown command:
import ipyparallel as ipp
c = ipp.Client()
c.shutdown(hub=True)

Client.shutdown() shuts down engines; adding hub=True tells it to bring down the central controller process as well.

Hawick Cycling Club's David Beattie and Wilson Renwick travelled to Ayrshire at the weekend to take part in the Scottish Ten-mile Time-Trial Championships.
With 110 riders starting the event in cold and damp conditions, both Hawick men posted impressive times, Wilson Renwick notching a well-deserved 11th place in 21 minutes eight seconds. Beattie rode strongly to complete the course in 22.12 to take 40th spot. Renwick's time and finishing position was the best by Hawick Cycling Club in recent years and the committee would like to thank both riders for competing at this event.
Last Thursday, David Beattie landed the honours in the club's weekly 10-mile time-trial on the Newmill course on the A7.
Beattie came home in 24 minutes two seconds; with newcomer Liam Beaty showing his potential with another impressive ride to finish runner-up in 24.11; ahead of club veteran Davie Cavers who was third in 26.10.
Other times: 4, Steven walker 26.19; 5, Andy Fair 27.30; 6, Ian Anderson 29.57; 7, Connor Telfer 31.05.
The club would like to thank the marshals and time keepers, without whom these events couldn't take place.


Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Department of Education announced today that it has selected Rutgers University Graduate School of Education to conduct an independent evaluation of the Excellent Educators for New Jersey (EE4NJ) teacher evaluation pilot program currently underway in 10 districts across the state. The evaluation will be used to identify successes and challenges in implementing a new educator evaluation system and will inform statewide rollout of a new evaluation framework in the 2013-14 school year.
Teachers should never be evaluated on the basis of a single consideration such as test scores, much less a single test, but on the basis of multiple measures that include both learning outcomes and effective practice, with 50 percent associated with each.
Where applicable, the component of the evaluation based on "learning outcomes" should include, but not be limited to, progress on objective assessments such as NJ ASK. In untested grades and subjects, for example, student progress might include a focus on student work or locally-determined criteria.
To avoid penalizing teachers who work with our highest-needs students, learning outcomes should be based on student progress and not absolute performance.
To assure consistency and fairness, plans should address inter-rater reliability of observers.
In order to ensure the Department learned as much as possible about pilot implementation, the Department decided to use an external organization to conduct a rigorous, independent evaluation of the pilot program. The Department selected Rutgers University, which stood out in part because their review team includes nationally-recognized researchers who bring an understanding of teacher quality issues and strong experience in program evaluation to this project.
The evaluation will include two components: a review of the "process" and a review of the "outcomes" of the pilot. The Rutgers team will utilize surveys, focus groups, interviews, and an analysis of teacher practice and student growth data from the pilot districts. The "process" evaluation will provide information on the implementation of the pilot and stakeholders' response to it. Specifically, it will address the extent and quality of implementation, barriers and successes, and comparison with previous evaluation systems. The "outcomes" evaluation will provide information on the ability of the pilot program to achieve its stated goals and will look at the distributions of evaluation ratings and student growth data.
Rutgers is now scheduled to present interim reports throughout the program that will help the New Jersey Department of Education refine the design of its teacher evaluation program. The evaluation team will also present a final report at the end of the contract.

Immunizations should start with newborns, through childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. Immunizations are recommended because they protect against diseases and make a disease less severe if it is contracted. Felix Medical Group has a very knowledgeable staff that can answer any questions you might have about vaccines and immunizations for all ages.
In the United States flu outbreaks usually occur in winter months. Thousands of people in the U.S. die each year from the flu or its complications. The flu is a contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza virus. The symptoms can include fever, chills, coughing, and sore muscles.
According to the Center for Disease Control getting an annual flu shot can reduce the risk of you getting the flu. The flu shot is highly recommended and is available for anyone over the age of 6 months. Some people do carry a higher risk in contracting the flu. You should be vaccinated every year if you meet any of the following criteria.
Immunization of children not only protects them from very serious diseases but it also protects their friends and classmates from the same diseases, protects future generations, and helps rid the world of diseases. Please see the attached guide to proper ensure your children are getting the correct immunizations for their age.
Most adults believe immunizations stop after childhood. That is not correct. There are specific shots you need as an adult determined by factors such as your age, gender, lifestyle, type and locations of travel, overall health, and previous immunizations. Please see the attached guides on what immunizations are needed for your age group and that of your family.
If you have any questions regarding vaccines and immunizations please contact us.

"We're gonna do what we always do, but we have a new – to you guys anyway – record that we put out since we have been there last", enthused Al Barr, lead vocalist for Dropkick Murphy's ahead of their December appearance at the Good Things festival. "We haven't been to Australia in five years so we're excited to play some of the new songs for people down there. We're all music fans ourselves so we don't just play the new stuff, we'll play the older songs as well".
In the full interview, Al discusses Good Things more from an artists perspective, the early days of the band, the blending of punk and Celtic music that has been the cornerstone of their sound, using music as a powerful tool, new music and more.
Dropkick Murphy's are playing at GOOD THINGS 2018!


I've spent most of the last 20 years of my career in enterprise risk management (ERM), focusing primarily on financial services (mostly insurance) and to a lesser degree on other sectors (power generation, infrastructure development, retail). I've been an industry practitioner (CRO of a major insurance company) and a consultant (now PwC insurance risk practice leader). During those 20 years, I've started almost all introductions to ERM by explaining that, when considering risk management, there are two types of institutions: financial services companies (primarily insurance companies and banks) that take on risk as a business and all the rest. And ERM is very different between them. However, ERM at insurers and other financial services companies now has a lot more in common with ERM at other kinds of companies. This could have profound implications for what insurers can learn from the others and vice versa.
An insurer is in the business of taking on risk to make a profit. The insurer takes on a policyholder's insured event, with its uncertain outcome and cost, and replaces it with a guaranteed cost (i.e., the insurance premium). How does the insurer do that and expect to make money? By insuring many similar policyholders and utilizing pooling, also called the law of large numbers. Insurers use this to predict that the total premium they charge across all policyholders will be enough to pay all policyholders' claims, with a little left over for their own profit. This simple idea, and another one called hedging–placing an opposite bet that's priced so that, again, there will be something leftover for their profit–is how insurers manage their risk-taking. Whether the risk is insurance, credit, or market, pooling and hedging help determine that total income will be more than enough to pay total costs.
For the last 20 years, ERM in insurance has used pooling and hedging to manage insurance, credit and market risk. Insurers also have used mathematical concepts like the central limit theorem to address not just the average of all the claims but also the likelihood that the average will be higher or lower than expected. (Insurers don't want claims to be higher than expected.) Using a concept called value at risk, or VAR, they assign a riskiness measure based on how big a really bad deviation can be. Because insurers want to be certain that they have enough premium in total to pay claims, types of coverage or subgroups of policyholders with a low VAR are more attractive (and pay lower premiums) than those with a higher VAR.
Well run insurance companies have become very good at using these tools, and they no doubt will continue to improve their effectiveness and efficiencies. But many insurers are realizing that they also need to turn their attention to other risks and other tools. VAR and the risks insurers have traditionally managed are unique to risk-taking companies. But other risks and other tools are not.
• First, as we noted, they have a good handle on insurance, credit, and market risk using the tools they have already developed. These risks, along with operational risks, are sometimes called "capital risks." Insurers hold capital, in amounts often stipulated by regulators, to make sure they can cover claims even in the unlikely event costs significantly exceed the premiums they set.
But these are not the only risks an insurer faces. Like other businesses, they now, unlike they ever have before, face strategic risk, the risk that the business strategy they are currently pursuing will cease to be viable in the future. They face business risks, the risk that the pursuit of their current viable business model will be derailed by (for example) events that harm their reputation and reduce their attractiveness to existing and potential customers. They face liquidity risk, the risk they won't be able to raise enough cash to pay their claims. Lastly, they face model risk, the risk that the information and algorithms they use to run their business are flawed.
• Second, market forces are such that these "new" risks, especially strategic risk, have never been more critical than they are now. Many observers believe that the viability of many parts of the traditional insurance business model is in serious jeopardy. For example, self-driving cars and trucks will have a profound and lasting impact on auto insurance. So will telematics that can measure how far, fast and safely customers drive. On the life and annuity side, persistently low interest rates have made many products unattractive and provide little room to pay costly distribution channels. Other, more inexpensive options for accumulating retirement savings abound. For all types of insurance, customer needs and buying patterns are changing in unprecedented ways. Many potential customers have virtually no experience with a personal sales pitch, much less one done face-to-face over the kitchen table.
Insurers can't address strategic risks and other new risks with VAR, and their other tools, like stress testing, need enhancement. Moreover, the model risk of the information and algorithms they use to build and manage their new types of business will need the same attention as in their traditional business. As insurers look to address these new risks they would do well to look outside of the financial services sector. The experience and expertise of the business world can help them solve their new ERM issues. For example: insurance is not the first industry to have faced the strategic risk of disruption from new technology and new entrants who better understand that technology. How did the "winners" in those industries behave? What are the pitfalls that the "losers" should have avoided? At a more operational level, many insurers are noticing an uptick in organized fraudulent behavior. And, the fraudster isn't just a single actor looking to make a quick gain but an organized business using modern online interactive tools. Other industry sectors have dealt with this and insurers are applying what they've learned from them to address this risk.

A REESE WITHERSPOON x HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB YA PICK
A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she'll never forget.
From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship...
When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it's mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree climber. Best friend to Leo and Connie…although ever since the B.E.I. (Big Embarrassing Incident) with Leo, things have been awkward on that front.
But she didn't know she's a younger sister.
When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it's hard to believe they're from the same planet, never mind the same parents — especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself.
The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby's parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp's co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything.
But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones.

Higher 2017 Montgomery County property values — the biggest gains since 2005 — also meant possible property tax increases for many, prompting 7,000 calls to a hotline, 3,300 one-one-one review meetings and 2,700 formal value complaints with the Montgomery County Auditor's Office.
But efforts by the office to help property owners through the valuation process have earned the county recognition for community outreach from the National Association of Counties (NACo).
Keith's office estimates it reached property owners on average four times each during the 2017 triennial update, which showed values rebound from one of the worst declines since the Great Depression.
In addition to the hotline and one-one-one meetings, the community engagement campaign involved video advertising, mailed notices and more than 50 community presentations involving dozens of county employees.
The NACo 2018 Achievement Award for community outreach the will be presented in July during the association's annual conference in Tennessee.
Because of a revived local housing market, more than 60 percent of Montgomery County residential properties were valued higher last year than during the most recent review in 2014. The increase represented "a significant turnaround for the county," Keith said.
Altogether, home values climbed 6 percent countywide, helping buoy a nearly $1.2 billion market gain since 2014. Property values rose or held even in all but four of Montgomery County's 28 jurisdictions. More than half the gains came in Dayton's southern suburbs, according to the auditor's office.
The gain in values countywide increased the unvoted portion of property taxes for some. The owner of a $100,000 house that increased in value 6 percent from the last review will pay about $19 a year more this year. That homeowner was paying about $306. The inside millage accounts typically for about 10 percent of an overall property tax bill, according the auditor's office.
The review process began in early 2017 with a sales analysis. Final values were determined late last year.
During the 3,300 informal one-on-one parcel reviews, about 48 percent had values reduced, another 48 percent went unchanged and 4 percent increased.
While the deadline has passed for formal complaints to be filed, the Board of Revision will continue hearing those cases through the end of 2018.
Montgomery County is one of 116 counties nationwide and one of just four in Ohio to receive 2018 honors.
The county is receiving three awards. In addition to the auditor's office, the county's Community Overdose Action Team won an award for human services. Montgomery County Development Services won in the community and economic development category for the MicroEnterprise Demonstration Grant program.


Growing up in the grass field hills and valleys of Kom kingdom, West Africa, was an unforgettable experience for Wanaku. Perched at 4000+ ft above sea level, this region has a dense concentration of several unique Bantu tribes, each with specific cultural attributes. Artistic expression - music, dance, chants, costumes - were channels for self-expression and identity, by each tribe.
Like any curious kid, Wanaku experienced the length, width and depth of this artistic expression through events that were triggered by mostly weddings, funerals, initiations into various societies within the community, festivals (harvest, installations of personalities ...), competitive arts festivals between the tribes, and what some would simply call "the day to day life in the village".
This background gives Wanaku a unique perspective and consequent approach to performing, composing and/or writing new music. No wonder most of Wanaku's music is rhythmic, simple but intricate parts with typical call-response type vocals. With a traditional/ethnic rhythm section, writing lyrics for one song in multiple languages at the same time can be challenging. Wanaku succeeds at making this look easy with lyrics that float in and out of one or more of the following languages: English, Creole, Kom, Igbo, Swahili, Twi, and French.
Wanaku speaks English, French, West African Creole, Kom, and Igbo (Eastern Nigeria).
Looking beyond the release of "Indigenous People", Wanaku hopes to set up a framework to establish a Community College in the Kom tribal area with a population of 300,000 and no post-highschool educational institution. Young wo/men who graduate and cannot for some reason or other go out of the tribe for higher education, become stuck and unchallenged academically, mentally and intellectually. The consequences of wasted brain power can be devastating even at best. The goal of the framework is to seek and find solutions to this situation.
