Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics United Nation Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization United Nations United Nations Volunteerism Labour Force Survey Information and Communication Technology Primary Sampling Unit United Nations Development Programme United Nations Children Emergency Fund House Hold xii The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Section I Introduction and Overview 1. 0 Background Information pertaining to literacy is an important social indicator having direct bearing on different socio-economic factors, including employment.
The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has included a very detailed literacy module in the 2010 Labour Force Survey (LFS). The items that have been included in the literacy module are ability to write a letter, highest class passed, current enrolment in the educational institutions, skill development training, use of literacy skill in every day life, viewing of education-related programmes in electronic media such as radio and television, attending places having connection with educational attainment such as library, book-stall, news-stand, community-based educational centre, etc.
, and use of latest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as internet for educational purposes. It may be mentioned that all the tables of the current report are weighted, based on 2010 Labour Force Survey. In Bangladesh, literacy rates available from different surveys and studies are significantly different. This is mainly due to the fact that the definition of a literate person is not uniform and standardized, and most of the surveys and studies are not based on competency test. In the present survey, literacy is defined by the ability of writing a simple letter for communication.
The objectives of the survey were as follows: 1. To develop and adopt a methodology for providing regular quality data on the access and use of literate environment by individuals including adults and youth in Bangladesh. 2. To obtain regular quality data on the access of literacy program and usage of literacy skills in Bangladesh. 3. To build national capacities in monitoring the literacy program and measurement of individual access and use of literacy skills and literate environment. 1. 2 Scope of the Survey It is a nationwide household based survey. The entire country is the domain of the survey.
The survey covered all persons who have attained the age of 5 years and above. However, people in special dwellings such as patients in hospitals, inmates in prisons, inmates in homes for special care (e. g. disabled, aged), boarders in boarding schools were not under the purview of this survey. This survey will produce national estimate by urban and rural. 1. 3 Sampling Design for the Survey The questionnaire of the household based literacy was part of the 2010 Labour Force Survey (LFS) questionnaire as a separate module, and this questionnaire was applied in the same PSU (Primary Sampling Unit) and in the same sample households.
Therefore, it was not required to develop a separate and independent sampling design for this survey. A total of 43,945 households were covered of which 34,620 households were from rural areas and 9,325 households were from urban areas. The division wise allocation of the sample PSUs and households are as follows: 2 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Table 1: Distribution of PSUs by Divisions Divisions Rural Dhaka Chittagong Rajshahi Khulna Barisal Sylhet TOTAL 244 183 268 168 156 156 1175 Number of PSU Urban 126 63 46 42 26 22 325 Total 370 246 314 210 182 178 1500.

The information collected under the survey is based on the responses received from the respondents where no practical tests was administered. Therefore, there is a chance for an upward bias.
The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 The survey was conducted with the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the main focus was on labour force characteristics such as employment, underemployment, occupation, industry etc. This provided an opportunity to collect data on literacy. Therefore, there might be underreporting of some questions. Special training is required for this special type of survey, but it was not done and the training was given simultaneously with LFS which may have some negative impact about the quality of the data. 4 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Section II Population Characteristics 2.
0 Population Characteristics Before discussing the education related information from the 2010 LFS, let us exercise the characteristics of the survey population in terms of their age-gender distribution and marital status. 2. 1 Age Gender Distribution Age-gender distribution of the population has been presented in Table-3. The highest proportion of population is in the age group 10-14 years, and the corresponding percentage is 12. 48 at the national level for both gender, followed by age group 0-4 (12. 22%) and 5-9 (11. 75%). These three groups constitute around 36. 5 % of the total population. Males constitute 37.
0% and females 36. 0%. There exist urban-rural variations in the age-gender distribution of the population. In the rural areas, the percentage of population for both gender of these three age groups was 37. 5% compared to 33. 0% for the urban areas. This may be explained by the higher fertility in rural than urban areas. Similar differences are also seen by gender. As regards population 70 years and over, the percentage is 2. 7% in rural areas and 2. 1% in urban areas. 5 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Table 3: Percentage distribution of population by age, gender and place of residence, 2010 National Both gender 100.

2 Marital Status The marital status of population 10 years and over by gender and place of residence is presented in Table-4 and Figure-1. Around 60% males and 66% females aged 10 years and over are married. The percentage of unmarried is 39. 29% for males compared to 25. 61% for females. The percentage of widowed /widower was 1. 05% for males compared to 8. 52% for females. There exist some differences in urban and rural areas with respect to marital status. In the urban areas, 33. 34% males aged 10 years and over are unmarried compared to 39. 92% in the rural areas. As regards females, 27.
70% are unmarried in urban areas compared to 24. 95% in the rural areas. The percentage of widowed was 1. 06% for rural males compared to 1. 01% for urban males. For the females, the percentage of widowed was 8. 81% in the rural areas compared to 7. 59% in the urban areas. 6 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Table 4: Percentage distribution of population 10 years and over by marital status, gender and place of residence, 2010 National Marital status Both gender Male Female Both gender Rural Male Female Both gender Urban Male Female Total Never married Married Widowed 100. 00 32. 54 62. 73 4. 73 100. 00 39. 29 59.

The age groups that have been considered are 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25+, 15+ and 15-24. The literacy rate increases with the age group up to certain level, and thereafter, it declines. This indicates that the attainment of literacy is a recent phenomenon.

The literacy rate for population 25 years and over is 52. 75% and 59. 82% for population aged 15 years and over.
It is notable that the literacy rate in the age group 5-9, 10-14 and 15-19 is higher for females compared to males, whereas, for age group 15-24 and 20-24, male literacy rate is higher than that of females. The recent high enrolment of females at the primary and secondary levels has contributed to this higher literacy for females. The literacy rate for 25+ and 15+ population is higher among males than females. The corresponding figures for males are 58. 47% and 63. 84% and 46. 84% and 55. 71% for females respectively. 12 78. 58 21. 42 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 3. 4 Training Received By Type of Training.

The percentage of male and female training recipients was 5. 7% and 2. 2% in rural areas compared to 12. 1% for males and 4. 7% for females in the urban areas. 13 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 As regards type of training received, the highest was technical/vocational (1. 38%), followed by in-service training (1.26%), garments/tailoring (0. 70%) and youth development training (0. 34%).
This pattern is true among both males and females as well as in both urban and rural areas. 14 The Bangladesh Literacy Survey, 2010 Section IV Reading Habit and Practice 4. 0 Reading Habit and Practice This section deals with the reading habits and practices by the population aged 5 years and over. The items that have been covered are different reading materials used, writing practice in the work of everyday usage, and viewing the electronic media (Radio and Television) for development of education skill.
4. 1 Reading Habits by Type of Reading Materials The reading materials that have been included in this survey are road signs, names of stores, posters, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, story and novels, manuals, reference books, bill/invoices and charts and maps. Reading habits by type of reading materials have been presented in Table-9. It is observed from the table that 25. 70% of the population aged 5 year and above read road-signs or names of stores several times in the last three months. Road-signs or names of stores were read several times in a month by 6.

UNIQSO sponsored the I.Fairy Cara Green circle lenses to go with my Luo Tianyi cosplay! These green lenses are perfect for the character Luo Tianyi.
I was expectinga padded mailer, so this was no surprise! It was packaged just as my other UNIQSO lenses were packaged. Inside the mailer, I found two cute "Thank You" UNIQSO boxes, two contact lens cases, and a UNIQSO Instagram card. Inside the boxes were the lens vials!
Be sure to check out UNIQSO on Instagram!
Inside each box, the lens vials were wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap. The bubble wrap was taped to secure each vial in place. This mode of protection is great! I've never had an issue with vials breaking, and I've ordered most of my lenses from UNIQSO. They're definitely very reliable!
The green is a deep, rich color. The enlargement is lovely as well, and I'm sure these lenses will work for a variety of different characters.
Below, you'll see a collage photo.
The top photo in the collage features just the lenses and no eye makeup. As you can see, they give great enlargement to the eyes! The top photo was also taken in indoor bathroom lighting.
The bottom photo in the collage features both the lenses and eye makeup. This photo was taken in the bathroom, but with the indoor lighting off and the window open (I faced the window to take the photo). These lenses have a nice green color regardless of the lighting! 🙂 It's not a super bright green, but you c an tell there's green and even flecks of yellow.
Communication: ☆☆☆☆☆ UNIQSO always has great communication! Lee Lee is fantastic and answers all questions promptly.
Packaging: ☆☆☆☆☆ I've never had an issue with the packaging! I love the cute boxes and the care UNIQSO takes to wrap the lenses and make sure they arrive safely.
Style: ☆☆☆☆☆ I love the design of these lenses! The flecks of yellow add depth to the color, and the thin black limbal ring is perfect for defining the eyes. The opening in the center of the lenses is large enough for you to look through without obscuring your vision.
Color: ☆☆☆☆ The green color is so pretty, but I wish it was a brighter green on my eyes. It's not completely opaque, so the parts that are over my irises appear darker… since my irises are such a dark brown (almost black). I don't have a major complaint about the color though; they definitely show up as green on my eyes!
I would definitely recommend I.Fairy Cara Green circle lenses if you want cute green lenses to wear for cosplay, or just for fun!


I reported this issue on the iOS App Store via a review and the Somfy developers suggested I contact support to report the issue in more detail... however I can't find how to contact Somfy Support and the telephone number on the support webpage never answers or is always engaged.
I've been experiencing an issue with the Somfy Protect app and the issue is still present in the latest version, 3.2.0. The app has a basic refresh issue whereby it doesn't display the correct alarm status text when switching to the app or opening a push notification.
The graphic on the main home screen refreshes correctly to indicate the correct alarm status but the text above it e.g. "alarm is off" or "alarm is on" is not updated automatically. Nor is the User List automatically refreshed either. Random red "default error message" pop-ups appear all the time too. You have to manually pull to refresh each time which is really annoying. This bug was introduced when the app UI was updated in May 2018 and still hasn't been fixed despite numerous subsequent releases.
Attached is a screen-shot to help illustrate the issue. In the screen-shot the Somfy Protect alarm has been enabled but when I open the app the icon shows the alarm enabled but the text still says "alarm is OFF". In addition the users section shows me as at home when in fact I was away from home. Pulling to refresh the view causes the display to be updated and show the correct info - it this shouldn't be necessary. Switching to the app or opening a push notification from the app should always automatically refresh the view and display the up-to-date information.
Please provide this info to your iOS app developers and let me know what other info you need to fix this issue.
Note: this issue doesn't occur when launching the app from a fresh start (e.g. when the app isn't already loaded and resident in RAM). But it happens whenever the app is already loaded and in the background.

Q: Using Apex Core Functionality in Custom App I would like to use the Oracle Apex 5.1 IDE Query Builder in a custom application.  When tracing the URL calls, it looks like the following objects are called below.  Does anyone know whether there is a Query Builder component that can be exported from the Apex IDE and imported into a custom app, or if there is a way to replicate the functionality based on the urls below?  Appreciate any thoughts/help - thanks!

A: Short answer: No.  Long answer:  The URLs that have a /apex/f?p=4500 format are calls to a PL/SQL procedure named P which is proprietary Oracle code.

PROCEDURE apex_050100.p
 Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?
 ------------------------------ ----------------------- ------ --------
 N                              VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT

 P_INLINE                       VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT

So the URL in your example
 .0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4500:0:2195359818348:APPLICATION_PROCESS=qb_get_saved_query"

Calls the procedure
apex_050100.p('4500:0:2195359818348:APPLICATION_PROCESS=qb_get_saved_query"'

And if you try to get the definition of the procedure, you will see it is wrapped (encrypted):
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PROCEDURE', 'P', 'APEX_050100') from dual;

Netflix to 'rethink' investment in Georgia if abortion law takes effect
Reuters May 28, 2019
FILE PHOTO: 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards – Photo Room – Los Angeles, California, U.S., January 27, 2019 - Jason Bateman poses backstage with his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series award for the Netflix series "Ozark". REUTERS/Monica Almeida
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Netflix Inc said on Tuesday it would "rethink" its film and television production investment in Georgia if a new law severely restricting abortion in the state is implemented, but the streaming service will continue to work there for now.
Netflix, which films TV shows like crime drama "Ozark" and supernatural thriller "Stranger Things" in the U.S. state, said it would work with groups fighting the Georgia law through the U.S. courts.
The company was the first major Hollywood producer to publicly comment on calls by some for an industry boycott of Georgia. The industry is responsible for more than 92,000 jobs in Georgia, according to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and some 455 film and TV shows were shot in the state in 2018, according to then-Governor Nathan Deal.
Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, said Netflix had many women working on productions in Georgia and their rights would be restricted by the new law.
"It's why we will work with the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and others to fight it in court. Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we'll continue to film there - while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to. Should it ever come into effect, we'd rethink our entire investment in Georgia," Sarandos said in a statement.
Georgia is one of eight states to pass anti-abortion legislation this year seeking to induce the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that established a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy.. The Georgia law comes into effect on Jan. 1.
Calls by some in Hollywood for a boycott of Georgia have so far failed to gain widespread support, with most studios and platforms remaining silent. That contrasts with a boycott of North Carolina over its transgender bathroom law that was supported by businesses, sports leagues and celebrities like Bruce Springsteen and led to the repeal of the law in 2017.
A number of producers and actors have said they will donate money to local groups fighting the abortion law, rather than boycott and cause people in Georgia to lose work.
However the makers of an upcoming comedy starring Kristen Wiig decided last week not to shoot in Georgia. While work on "Ozark" season three began in Georgia earlier this month, star and executive producer Jason Bateman said that if the abortion bill became law he would not work in Georgia.
According to the Georgia film office website on Monday, 38 movies or TV shows are currently in production in the state. Past productions include the TV series "The Walking Dead" and scenes from the 2018 superhero movie "Black Panther."

Sorry, but Dead Island 2 (and Saints Row and Timesplitters) will not be shown at E3.
When Koch Media announced that it would celebrate the live broadcast of Summer Game Fest next week, all sorts of possibilities presented themselves. Maybe something on Dead Island 2, which we've been waiting for years with nothing to catch our eye, but repeated guarantees that it's still happening? Or maybe a look at the nearby Saints Row? Timesplitters? A longer plan, sure, but considering the very recent moment of the announcement, not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. In a tweet posted today earlier, Deep Silver set expectations way down.
Our parent company @KochMedia_HQ will make an announcement as part of #SummerGamesFest on June 11th. To do so, you won't see Dead Island, Saints Row, Metro or TimeSplitters (or any other E3 2021 event). We'll let you know when we have news to share.June 4, 2021
"Our parent company @KochMedia_HQ makes an announcement as part of #SummerGamesFest on June 11, "he wrote." To take a look, you won't see Dead Island, Saints Row, Metro or TimeSplitters (or any other E3 2021 event). We'll let you know when we have news to share. "
(Metro was my weak personal hope for the show, so consider me personally disappointed).
That still leaves Payday 3, which Koch publishes, but maybe there isn't too much to see yet: the last time we checked it out, it wasn't scheduled to come out until 2023. New games owned by Koch Developer Flying Wild Hog, Shadow Warrior 3 and Evil West are also possibilities, and as a complete shot in the dark, we may hear something new from the developer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Warhorse Studios.
Koch still has a lot of arrows at his height, not necessarily the ones we most expected to have shot at us. Still, it's probably a smart decision to do it now: it's much better to keep expectations low and leave some surprises than to come in with a hype and nothing to deliver.

Q: Does Nvidia DIGITS install CUDA toolkit automatically? I installed DIGITS 4 on ubuntu 14.04, everything seems running well. I used to install CUDA first in my previous machines but I didn't do it this time since I thought DIGITS should get all things set.
But when I try to check the CUDA version with nvcc, it says no such a command. Looks like the CUDA toolkit was not there. Even I do found those library files exits in /usr/local/cuda-7.5
Now I'm confused and not certain what DIGITS installed. If I have to install some other stuff need to run with CUDA. Is it necessary to install the CUDA toolkit or not? Is the library good enough?

A: It will install the runtime libraries, but not the compiler. You don't need nvcc to run compiled CUDA code.


In some cases, leaving your qualified retirement account to a charity and other assets to your heirs can save on taxes.
An important part of establishing an IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or other qualified plan is naming a beneficiary. On the positive side, this helps ensure that upon your death, any remaining account balance will transfer directly to your heirs without going through probate. On the negative side, your heirs could lose up to 80 percent of the account's balance to income and estate taxes, both federal and state.
On other assets, heirs pay less or even no tax. For example, an inherited home can be sold for its value at the owner's date of death and the heir pays no federal income or capital gains tax, although taxes will be due on any amount over the dated value. Stocks the owner holds outside a qualified account and passes to his heirs receive a step-up in cost basis to the value on the date of death, so heirs pay no capital gains tax on the stocks' appreciation during the original owner's lifetime.
By leaving qualified plan balances to nonprofits and more tax-advantaged assets to your heirs, you have the potential to get more of your wealth where you intended. Nonprofits, being tax exempt, pay no income tax on the money they receive. Proper estate planning can help you avoid a few potential mistakes and decide which method to use for distributing your assets.
Two relatively simple issues can create the biggest problems in a qualified plan bequest to a charity. The first is not specifying the precise organization name on the beneficiary form. If you're an animal lover, putting "Humane Society" on the form will probably result in the account's reversion to your estate and subsequent probate process. You need to list the exact name of the organization, such as "Nebraska Humane Society" and include the organization's tax identification number. Tax ID numbers for many nonprofits can be found at www.guidestar.com.
The second issue involves possession of funds. The account assets must be transferred directly to the nonprofit organization. If your estate or other heir takes possession of the assets and then transfers them or writes a check for the same amount to the organization, income and possibly estate taxes will be incurred. An estate can claim only a partial charitable deduction, leaving more of the assets subject to taxes.
You can choose from a number of methods for getting funds from your qualified plan account to a nonprofit. As mentioned earlier, one of the easiest is to name the charity as the beneficiary on the account forms. For certain types of accounts – including money purchase pension, profit sharing, 401k, stock bonus, employee stock ownership plans or defined benefit or annuity plans – your spouse must sign a waiver relinquishing his or her right to the account. This rule does not apply to IRAs.
You can also name multiple beneficiaries with a specified percentage of the account for each, or list the charity as the contingency beneficiary. This means that if all other beneficiaries are deceased, the account passes to the charity.
A provision of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 allows IRA holders over age 70½ to transfer up to $100,000 to a charity without recognizing income tax on the withdrawal. The transfer will meet the minimum distribution requirement, making this an attractive option for those with overfunded IRAs who fear the required distributions will push them into a higher tax rate. For this rule, which expires on Dec. 31, 2007, private foundations or groups considered supporting organizations under the IRS code do not qualify.
You can also designate a charitable remainder unitrust or charitable remainder annuity trust as the qualified plan account beneficiary. You can designate an heir, who receives the income from the trust on a tax deferred basis over his lifetime. When that heir dies, the principle of the trust passes to the charity. This option may be the most tax-advantaged option if the qualified plan requires an immediate lump-sum distribution upon the account holder's death, because the income tax can be deferred rather than being due in total with the 401k lump sum distribution.
Designating a charity as a beneficiary on your qualified plan account can help protect your estate from state and federal income tax and estate tax. You should consult an estate attorney, tax professional and financial advisor to ensure your estate plan gets your assets exactly where you intended.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…" was a slogan that brought the concept of SciFi into the mainstream and opened up our world and our imagination. In the three decades since the launch of the Star Wars franchise, we've seen many sci-fi series incarnations come and many go. Series like Star Trek, Babylon 5, FireFly, Battlestar Galactica, Andromeda, Earth: Final Conflict and many more. However, there is a unique franchise that has remained a dominant player in the SciFi space despite the demise of much of their competition.
The Stargate universe as a whole has been around since 1994 and has since grown into a global dynasty encompassing a movie, 2 TV series, comics, books, audiobooks, games, toys, and an assortment of FanFiction.
The Stargate universe began with the initial film, written by Dean Devlin and directed by Roland Emmerich. The film turned out to be a mega hit with worldwide sales of $196,600,000 and a production cost of $55,000,000. The film was originally intended to be part of a multi-film franchise, but due to scheduling issues and differences in creative visions between Devlin/Emmerich and MGM, the initial vision was never realized. It was in fact this disagreement that led studio executives to evaluate other ways to capitalize on the film's success.
The executives decided that a television series would allow for lasting opportunities and with that Stargate SG-1 debuted on July 27, 1997 on the premium cable network Showtime. After seeing impressive ratings on Showtime, the studio wanted wider distribution and moved the series to the SciFi Network where it immediately became a cult classic. The Richard Dean Anderson-directed series of MacGyver fame ran for a total of ten seasons and cost MGM an average of $1,400,000 to shoot. In its final season, the show topped the ratings of big hits like The X-Files and won the title of longest-running consecutive sci-fi series on television. After an incredible ten-year run, Stargate SG-1 was discontinued in August 200, but the franchise survived as Stargate Atlantis.
Stargate Atlantis premiered in 2004 as a two-part season finale for Season 8 titled "Lost City". The plot involves a group of military forces and civilian scientists traveling to the Pegasus galaxy in search of the lost city of Atlantis. In its current incarnation, the series has been highly successful and has proven over the years to attract the same level of followers as SG-1.
The future of the Stargate universe is expected to include two direct-to-DVD movies due out later this year titled "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" and "Stargate: Continuum." Additionally, in 2006, Stargate creator Dean Devlin announced that he was currently in talks with MGM to produce the final two films in the trilogy and leverage the talents of James Spader and Kurt Russel.
The series stands out today as a remarkable example of creativity and vision for a better future. The series is one that will live on in multiple incarnations as it retains the excellent writing staff and an amazing ability to explore current social and political issues in a unique way.

As the world's foremost business and economics reporter, everyone expects Gasparino to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The only problem is, he doesn't like Swiss food, he doesn't speak German, and, most importantly, skiing is no substitute for brutalizing ones' pecs in the weight room. For these reasons, CG is a no go. Now, if you'd host the WEF in a more congenial location--a cigar bar, perhaps, or at a boxing match--you might pique his interest. Hold it at a classy Italian restaurant on East 54th Street and, well, let's just say you can pencil him in.


Each year, the City of Riverview issues financial statements that have been audited by an independent auditing firm, as required by the State of Michigan. Included in the financial statements is the Management Discussion & Analysis, which is a narrative that summarizes the activity that took place in the City during the year and the effect it had on the City's finances.
For fiscal year 2016/17, the City has again received an unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion means that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City's funds as of June 30, 2017, and conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

An Australian politician was widely condemned on Wednesday after demanding "a final solution" to immigration and calling for a return to the White Australia policy which favoured "European Christians".
Queensland senator Fraser Anning stunned lawmakers when he invoked during his maiden speech the infamous Nazi phrase used under Adolf Hitler in reference to annihilating Jewish people from Europe.
He added that "ethnocultural diversity ... has been allowed to rise to dangerous levels in many suburbs".
The Queenslander called for migration numbers to be slashed, and a ban on Muslims, justifying his call by saying they had "consistently shown to be the least able to assimilate and integrate".
Despite the criticism, Mr Anning was unrepentant on Wednesday and claimed he did not know the connection between the phrase "final solution" and Nazi Germany.
"I don't regret anything, I am not going to apologise or regret anything that I say," he said.
Mr Anning's comments sparked a backlash from all sides of politics, led by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who emphasised Australia was one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world.
Labor MP Anne Aly: I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired. I'm tired of having to stand up against hate and vilification time and time again.
Bill Shorten, Labor opposition leader, called the speech "a low point for our parliament", while independent senator Derryn Hinch said there "was hardly a group of Australians he did not offend unless you were very close to being a member of the Ku Klux Klan".
Even Pauline Hanson, who runs One Nation on a platform of zero-net migration and opposition to Islam, said Mr Anning went too far.
"You may have your grievances on what Fraser Anning has said, don't direct them at me," she added. "It's got nothing to do with me."

Q: Put onChange event in a select box I'm trying to place an onchange event in a select box but for some strange reason it does not work. This is my selectbox:
  <%= f.label :Tipe, "Tipe:", class: "control-label col-md-1"  %>

     <%= f.select :Tipe, ['Mont','Vol'],onChange: "myFunction()", class: "form-control"%>

and this is my javascript:

A: Inline javascript is considered bad practice, for reason like this where it's difficult to debug. Perhaps you should try:
In your page js file, or script tags- whichever:
var myFunction = function(){
  // do whatever
}

$('.form-control').on('change', function(){
    myFunction();
});

The 'on' event listener allows to bind any even to an element class/ id. Better still, binding to the id of the parent element, you can insure events stay connected to child events that may be refreshed from time to time by ajax requests. For example
# parent html.erb file

  <%= render 'form' %>

# inside form partial
<%= f.label :Tipe, "Tipe:", class: "control-label col-md-1"  %>

  <%= f.select :Tipe,
    ['Mont','Vol'],
    onChange: "myFunction()",
    class: "form-control"
  %>

# then in JS
$('#container').on('change', '.form-control', function(){
  //do something
});

Otherwise, I think your function as it stands doesn't work because you're missing the semi-colon:
"onChange: "myFunction();"

If not, check the 'onChange'/ 'change' binding. What constitutes a 'change'? You may be better using on 'click' if an action is to be performed after some user interaction.
Hope this helps.


A geochemical and paleomagnetic study was performed on southwest to northeast and northwest to southeast trending dyke swarms in the Badplaas-Barberton area, South Africa. The aims of the study were to contribute towards the debate on the tectonic setting and genesis of these calc-alkaline to tholeiitic dyke swarms. Thermomagnetic analysis indicated a very complex intrusion history with several episodes of magma influx and/or re-magnetization. Three poorly defined poles were identified and isolated from the northwest to southeast trending dykes. These poles correlate respectively with published poles for the ca. 2984 ± 2.6 Ma Agatha basalt from the upper Pongola Supergroup, the 2.71 to 2.66 Ga Allanridge Formation of the Ventersdorp Supergroup, as well as the 2050 ± 12 Ma Bushveld Complex. Overlapping geochemical signatures for the calc-alkaline northwest to southeast trending and more tholeiitic southwest to northeast trending dyke swarms prevent clear distinction between the proposed different intrusion events. However, geochemical similarities with previously published data from the Nsuze Group and upper Ventersdorp Supergroup, respectively, suggest tectonic settings ranging from intra-continental rift to back-arc settings.

Q: Save generated excel with axlsx_rails in a folder of my project I actually can generate an excel and show the download link to the client but also I want that the file stay in a folder of my project in my server, my code is this
Controller
def generate_report
  render xlsx: 'prueba',template: 'admin/client_reports/report_a.xlsx.axlsx', filename: "a.xlsx", disposition: 'inline',
  xlsx_created_at: 3.days.ago, xlsx_author: "Elmer Fudd"
end

View .xlsx.axlsx
wb = xlsx_package.workbook

wb.add_worksheet(name: "A") do |sheet|
  sheet.add_row ["Titulo", "Precio"]
end

I don't know how to save the excel generated in a folder of my project, too.

A: If you are always saving the file, you can cheat and place this at the end of your xlsx.axlsx template:
xlsx_package.serialize(file_name)

Or, in the controller you can render it to string, and then serve that string as data as well as write to a file (untested code):
data = render_to_string handlers: [:axlsx], formats: [:xlsx], template: 'admin/client_reports/report_a.xlsx.axlsx'
File.open("/file/path/and/name.xlsx","w") {|f| f.write(data) }
send_data data, filename: "prueba.xlsx", type: Mime[:xlsx], disposition: 'inline'

You may or may not need the handlers / formats specified since your request is already xlsx.

A: It's hard to say without knowing your application, so one common option to save your files is by using a file-management solution like Carrierwave. Which means that you will need to create a new model, something like ExcelAttachments, which can belong_to :user. You then can start saving your files on that model.
To do that, you might have to use Tempfile class (google it) and stream your AXLSX content into it, and return the file into CW. This answer might be a good place to start.

EI Mod and my opinions
Ohioastro replied to Mdalton31's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Played an IE game before? For better or worse, there are no attacks of opportunity in those games. And for the record, many people in the discussion enjoy the idea of engagement but think it needs to be tweaked before it really shines. Even though D&D is irrelevant to this discussion, you were allowed to move within a certain number of feet without triggering free attacks or use a withdraw action iirc, which you can not even do in POE unless the opponent is disabled. My main issue with POE's engagement is that every movement action is an assumption that you are fleeing, so I can't even sid
The gaming community and "balance"
Ohioastro replied to Metamega's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Look over the achievements; they amount to setting arbitrary limits on what you can do, and the only difference between them and house rules is that they're sanctioned. What else is a solo run in a game designed for a party of six other than "depriving yourself of an element of the game". Maybe I want to do a run with no spellcasters or no tanks; that's not depriving myself of game elements, it is a choice. Now there are some areas where I think balance is appropriate - for example, if one spell at a given level is overwhelmingly better than all of the others, or some are so weak tha
There was a joke running around in D&D circles: A DM intones "you see a party of click-clacks coming around the corner; the players huddle in a corner, look at a book, and yell "November". The DM sighs and says "the click-clacks fall dead..." The IE games were basically like that - if you had memorized exactly what everything did and what hurt it the game was straightforward; but you had no way of knowing, really, outside of meta-gaming. Similarly, a lot of the big fights relied on people standing outside of anonymous doors, buffing like the dickens, and running in casting very speci
Angry Joe LOVED Pillars Of Eternity
Ohioastro replied to kozzy's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Dragon Age 2 used the same environments over and over and over and over. Positioning was useless because enemies parachuted from the sky on top of you. Normal mode was designed so that you could auto-attack with companions and perhaps click an occasional button with your main. Hard mode left the enemies as stupid as on normal mode, but gave them ungodly hit point totals so that battles took forever without being challenging. You could side with the Nazis or the demons, but you couldn't kill both, sadly. Fortunately, it didn't actually matter - because you had to fight exactly the same enc
That sucks. Sensuki was the dude who spent a ****load of time betaing PoE and if he walked away that doesn't look too good, Or it looks like he would never have been happy with the game from the start. I've been lurking the forums since the beta was released and while I think he did a great job finding bugs, I rarely agreed with the changes he pushed for mechanic-wise. That he doesn't even give the game a chance before modding the **** out of it and then leaves it completely out of frustration only tells me he made his mind up a long time ago. It became pretty clear to me in re
Feargus Urquhart quote on addressing hate in games
Ohioastro replied to RedSocialKnight's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Why is the setting relevant in this regard? The moral choices you make, would hopefully make you think, whether you're deciding whether kill a guy names Xanzitorp, who happens to be a wizard, or some guy names Joe, who drives a taxi? Are you unfamiliar with the genre? You kill people (lots, and lots of people) to take their stuff and gain power. The moral dimension is pretty much not present at all, and you specifically don't turn fantasy game 'morality' on random taxi drivers named Joe. That gets you arrested for murder. If you were to take the main 'moral lessons' of this game
Low-level spells becoming per-encounter at high levels
Ohioastro replied to Caerdon's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
In classic D&D you could eventually cast 9/level for a total of something like ~80 spells at higher levels. If the limit is going to be artificially low (like 4), then per encounter is actually fine; the alternative should be many more "per day".
The disconnection between companions and the overall story.
Ohioastro replied to Christliar's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Yes, that's reasonable - the game clearly has the hooks to go deeper, and I'd view not doing so as a function of budget. I'd like that as well - maybe even have some members unwilling to continue with some choices.
I don't understand this. Right now you can choose, at any time, to walk back to an inn and get nice stat bonuses, resting at will, You can delay this a bit with cheap camping supplies. In fact, you should do this - ideally you're resting when you've used your resources. Slightly faster clearing of trash encounters is really the only difference.
I think that balance for trash mob encounters is a chimera; for a variety of reasons, boss encounters should be the gatekeepers for difficulty. There are many reasons: 1) They can be balanced assuming that the players will throw everything that they have into the encounter; so per rest vs. per encounter is not relevant. 2) Terrain can be controlled, avoiding a huge player advantage. Given that you can rest basically at will (if willing to run back to the inn), the per encounter vs. per rest is simply a matter of convenience. And it really does speed up the generic mob encounters at
Clearly Mark Twain also didn't understand storytelling. After all, the Duke and Dauphin run into Huckleberry Finn and Jim, and they have no connection to the main story. Clearly every single character has to have their motives written in all caps, and anything else is just an "exposition dump."
You're basically flattening all of the nuance in the delivery and the situation. If you asked Eder whether his problem was 'answered' or whether he was given a full 'closure', his lines throughout his entire quest say the opposite. Eder didn't set out to say, "did my brother fight for X or did he fight for Y?" He wanted to know why, he wanted to know what drove his brother, and so on. Your interpretation is basically like saying "you cheated on me, now I want to know whether you kissed him 3 times or 4 times." Similarly, you find with Sagani that Persoq was the white deer and so on. But a
Custom Parties and PotD
Ohioastro replied to Brimsurfer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Min-maxing has risks. Assigning 2 18 stats is free, while the third involves reducing other stats. This can bite you hard in things like saves and durability (glass cannons shatter if the enemy reaches the backfield.) In fact, I'd view 18x3 characters as objectively weaker in many cases than ones that don't reduce saves or hit points.
The leveling and XP curve. What's wrong and the only way to fix it.
Ohioastro replied to Matt516's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The exp curve doesn't solve the fundamental difference between controlled linear environment like IWD and open world games like PoE. The changed curve could well be better, but there is just a structural issue if I can do something at level 4 or level 10.
Obsidian devs after the Limerick controversy..
Ohioastro replied to Macrae's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
which has approximately nothing to do with that shirt, which has no naked anything as far as I can tell. Attacking that guy with a twitter firestorm was grossly inappropriate. I sympathize with your point on the silly PoE controversy, but if you're defending flooding the guy with thousands of hate messages for the shirt that he wore I lose a *ton* of respect for you.
Seems like XP balance is out of whack
Ohioastro replied to AncientToaster's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
From looking over the quest logs, the structure of the game is You arrive in Defiance Bay at relatively low level (or you can); There are a lot of open choices and quests, not level scaled, that take up the bulk of the game; There are a few quests in Act II once the events in Defiance Bay play out. All of this talk about "too much exp" misses the point: how do you balance things that can be encountered by a party anywhere from level 4 to level 10 without level scaling? "balanced encounters" don't match with "open world exploration and no level scaling". Period. Everything
Patch Notes: 1.04
Ohioastro commented on Darren Monahan's blog entry in Pillars of Eternity Support Blog
Never had any of those problems. Have you tried troubleshooting hardware issues in the bugs subforum?
I was level 10 when I hit act 3; without bounties I'd have been level 9. There actually aren't that many quests in Act III - far fewer in twin oaks than in defiance bay. About half of the companion quests finish in act 3. I checked my last save: Main line quests: 3 Act 3; 5 Act 2; 5 Act 1 and Prologue. Quests: 7 Act 3; 13 Act 2; 3 Act 1 (excluding companion quests and stronghold ones) Tasks: 2 Act 3; 7 Act 2; 4 Act 1. So, no, players shouldn't start Act 3 2/3 of the way through, because the vast majority of the quests are in Act 2. And if you do a lot of side quests in Act 2 you'
I think that actually knowing how much exp is available is relevant when designing an exp system.
What's missing from this discussion is actual data, and the answer is knowable. If you want the game changed document how much exp there is, rather than simply asserting that there is too much. I think that this won't do anything for the people who find the game too easy, because that's a product of deeper factors. (Speaking of which...I'm also not seeing any objective target for what acceptable difficulty is.
I think that this is completely a matter of groupthink. You have a bunch of people beating their chests about how good they are and how easy the game is. And this is the current shiny object that is trotted out as an excuse. If this was slashed I *guarantee you* that it will take less than a day for the same people to be back here complaining about the same thing with a different target. There's just no end to it. The basic reason is simple: this is an open world game (which allows you to control what level you do things at). You can take advantage of terrain, which is a huge edge. A
Shacknews interviews Feargus U. who "hints" at a possible BIG Patch 1.05. KS Backers get early entry to the 2 expansions.
Ohioastro replied to TrueMenace's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The entire issue around experience strikes me as forum groupthink. There is one set of things - bounties - with very high experience rewards. Leave those aside and there is no issue with experience, period. The people complaining about experience would not be satisfied - at all - if it was changed; they'd just move seamlessly to yet another complaint that the game is easy mode. And it's extremely selfish for vets to demand changes to the base game (easy / normal / hard) that will have a really negative impact on inexperience players. These players *need* to be over-leveled to complete
What's the point of pumping stealth?
Ohioastro replied to mforww's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Stealth also lets you steal things in town without getting the reputation hit for being a thief.
Too much whining about gameplay?
Ohioastro replied to pedroantonio's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Here is an example: If you set autopause to "seeing enemies" you don't need to use stealth running at all. It will stop you before they see you; you can then cancel movement with the x button, enter stealth, and prep. It is very rare to have hidden treasures outside of very logical areas (e.g. they are not at random spots in hallways; they're in cluttered rooms, temples, and so forth.) The exception is when you're going through dungeon corridors that have traps...which is, well, a staple of games like this since about forever. So when I see claims like this I just have to scratch my hea
Game players are amazingly conservative. That really hit me when I saw posts here complaining...about being able to get loot from multiple corpses at once instead of clicking on every.single.one. A large fraction of the complaint posts here amount to people being upset that this game isn't an exact copy of Baldur's Gate, or that it violates their longstanding habits of how games work (how dare they make Might increase spellpower, or have it be sensible to have intelligent barbarians! Everyone knows that barbarians are stupid and mages are weak!) Not all criticism is equal. It's valuab

Biz on Biz
Let's start over in 2021
I'm not normally the type for New Year's resolutions, but 2021 feels different and more purposeful after 2020 threw every plan out the window.
To start, my New Year's resolution for 2021 will be to spend the next 12 weeks off of VC Twitter as I take maternity leave after welcoming a baby girl in early January. My other goal is not to spend all of that time off Twitter playing Toon Blast, my favorite guilty pleasure.
This will be the last week of "Biz on Biz" for a while, but I'm leaving Pipeline in the care of Tomio Geron, a name that is probably familiar to most of you. After years writing for Wall Street Journal's pro VC vertical, Tomio joined Protocol last month to cover fintech. He'll be taking care of Pipeline while I'm gone, so send all your news tips his way: tgeron@protocol.com.
But in the spirit of starting fresh in 2021, we decided to ask a handful of VCs two questions:
What's your New Year's resolution?
What's one acquisition prediction you think we'll see in the new year?
It turns out that not everyone believes in resolutions, but people think we might see a bigger M&A play from Peloton in the year ahead — and of course, at least one SPAC-quisition.
Jenny Lefcourt, Freestyle Capital
Her New Year's resolution: "Continuing to approach life with humility, compassion and flexibility (as who the hell knows what 2021 has in store for us!) I'm also going to begin weight training."
2021 acquisition prediction: "Discord. Its market share and engagement make it too powerful for one of the big tech companies to not own."
Arvind Gupta, Mayfield
His New Year's resolution: "My professional resolution for 2021 is to help expand the toolbox for scientists who want to become entrepreneurs through educational programs and grant funding."
2021 acquisition prediction: "My prediction is a cell-based meat company gets acquired by a SPAC."
Lolita Taub, The Community Fund
Her New Year's resolution: "Say 'no' more often, get paid in cash (no more perishables or swag as forms of payment), and invest in the best community-driven companies alongside The Community Fund team.
2021 acquisition prediction: "As we continue to see the wave of B2B companies' consumerization, it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft bought Calendly. They already struck a partnership in late 2020, and Microsoft is committed to, as Satya Nadella states in their annual report, 'empower[ing] every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.' Plus, Calendly can help broaden the customer reach and enhance the appeal of either Outlook or LinkedIn."
Ross Fubini, XYZ Venture Capital
His New Year's resolution: "I'm going to celebrate every holiday. Each one. Flag day, Arbor Day, Grandparents day. Bring on all Hallmark card days, every celebration."
2021 acquisition prediction: "ServiceNow does a series of transformative acquisitions as we watch Salesforce, Workday, Microsoft and Amazon fight for the future of the enterprise and reinvent SAP and Oracle's ERP. Disney also buys Roblox."
Alex Taussig, Lightspeed
His New Year's resolution: "See actual people in real life."
2021 acquisition prediction: "I anticipate that [Peloton] buys a wearables company to compete more directly with Apple in its health efforts. Given the technical progress in getting real health data from wearables, it could be an opportunity for PTON to level up from exercise into connected health. A move like this will bring PTON into competition with TDOC/Livongo, who are also focused on integrating consumer health data into their employer offerings. Maybe PTON starts selling through the employer channel, too?"
Shripriya Mahesh, Spero Ventures
Her New Year's resolution: "I don't make New Year's resolutions, but I've starting working on a couple of things in the past couple of weeks: 1. Being more intentional about what I say yes to. 2. Making time on my physical and mental well-being including continuing my meditation practice with my Core trainer.'
2021 acquisition prediction: "There's likely to be a consolidation in the well-being space. Peloton's acquisition seems like just the start. There are companies with high valuations (both private and public) that will start to consolidate physical well-being, mental well-being and sleep. There are interesting companies in all these spaces."
Sundeep Peechu, Felicis Ventures
His New Year's resolution: "I experimented with changing my information diet this year and it made a big difference to my mental health. Resolve to do a lot more of it next year."
2021 acquisition prediction: "I expect software platforms to continue to get better at drug discovery and a traditional pharma company makes a big bet to acquire these capabilities."

Now companies will be able to raise money as part of a direct listing after the SEC finally approved the NYSE's plans, a change that Gurley thinks will "unquestionably" kill the IPO.
2021's IPO class: SAP snapped up Qualtrics for $8 billion on the eve of its IPO two years ago. Now the SAP-unit Qualtrics is once again on the path back to the public markets, but it won't be alone: Protocol has a list of the other 2021 IPO candidates, from Bumble to Coinbase to Poshmark.
Even SoftBank has a SPAC now. SoftBank, in theory, plans to acquire a non-SoftBank investment, but it of course left the door open to some financial hijinks by not ruling it out completely. Meanwhile, Group Nine Media, which owns sites like Thrillist, is launching its own SPAC as media consolidation becomes a hot topic for 2021.
From Protocol: In 2020, COVID-19 derailed the privacy debate in the U.S, and regulators have done little to address it.

Five Questions With...
Protocol's Tomio Geron
Meet your new Pipeline newsletter writer! Tomio Geron joined Protocol from WSJ VC in December and has worked at other outlets, including Forbes. He'll be taking over Pipeline in the short term while Biz is on leave and will be focused on fintech.
What's one story you think everyone will still be talking about in six months? And what's a story no one is talking about that you think everyone should be?
People will still be talking about SPACs — the really hot ones and the massive failures. There will also be at least one (relatively) new consumer tech startup that people will be calling the next Facebook.
No one's talking about: overvalued startups. I don't know if it will be in six months, but at some point there will be a prolonged correction (the pandemic correction was relatively short for tech) and many startups will run out of cash quickly. No one seems to talk about this unless Sequoia puts out a slide deck. I get it, that's the whole game in venture, getting in the best deals to get the top returns. But that means no one prepares for a downturn.
What tech story or trend are you most excited to cover in 2021?
On my new beat, the battles between upstart fintech startups and establishment financial institutions, with tech giants also in the mix. This includes everything from banking to infrastructure to lending to insurance to payments to crypto.
In venture, the creation of a functioning private market in secondary startup shares. People have been trying to do versions of this for a long time, and I'm curious to see if it may actually finally happen.
Where do you stand on this whole tech vs. media Twitter war?
Overrated! Most tech CEOs and VCs can't take any critical coverage — and are used to tech journalism puff pieces. They also think journalists don't understand how tech works. Fair enough but many in tech don't understand how journalism works. Some in tech believe media should be "decentralized" — i.e. so that there is no authoritative news and the media becomes essentially Twitter or Reddit. But this doesn't solve problems of misinformation, etc. That said, I think people both in tech and media just like to pop off on Twitter. It's their recreation or blowing off steam, which I don't really understand.
What's a secret obsession of yours that most people don't know about?
During the pandemic, I learned how to make linotype prints. It was my quarantine coping mechanism. Something about carving into the blocks and then printing ink onto paper is very satisfying.
Besides Protocol, what is the website you read the most?
Right now probably Substack newsletters. Despite some of my criticisms of the form, I like reading different or independent or raw voices. I've subscribed to so many that I've been reading them on a reading app called Matter.
