Any tips on how to properly install CVXPY under pypy3.6? Thanks!

A: The error message is similar to this issue in TensorFlow, which also uses SWIG. It seems to be due to a function call doing something like func(*None)

A: It turns out the SWIG wrappers were built with an old version of SWIG (3.0.8). Regenerating the wrappers should fix it. See this issue


Yesterday we went shopping at our co-op. It's where we do much of our shopping. I was curious as to how fresh their eggs were, and the freshest eggs I could find were those packed 8 days ago. There were also eggs that were packed more than 30 days ago.
According to the USDA: "Many eggs reach stores only a few days after the hen lays them." Hmmm, I've yet to encounter such fresh eggs in a supermarket. They typically are two to six weeks old.
"Fresh" means whole poultry and cuts have never been below 26 °F (the temperature at which poultry freezes). This is consistent with consumer expectations of "fresh" poultry, i.e., not hard to the touch or frozen solid.
In 1997, FSIS began enforcing a final rule prohibiting the use of the term "fresh" on the labeling of raw poultry products whose internal temperature has ever been below 26 °F.
The temperature of individual packages of raw poultry products labeled "fresh" can vary as much as 1 °F below 26 °F within inspected establishments or 2 °F below 26 °F in commerce.
Fresh poultry should always bear a "keep refrigerated" statement.
I'll keep looking for these phantom, a few days old eggs, the USDA claims are on store shelves. If I find any, I'll let you know. Tomorrow, I'm going to have a chat with Karen at the USDA. I was going to chat with her this morning, but she doesn't chat on Thursdays. I wonder what she does on Thursdays. I'm going to find out what the USDA thinks consumer expect when they see phrases like "farm fresh" on eggs.

Love hanging out at the bar counter in your house or around your kitchen counter? You're going to need the perfect seating solution. A bar or counter stool that not just offers unparalleled comfort but also goes well with the counter or bar.
In this Home Tips guide, we'll be looking at the most important things to consider when trying to decide on the perfect bar or counter seating solution in the Mercana Marketplace!
It is important to measure the height of your counter before you pick your choice of seating. Typically, stools come in three sizes based on height – counter height stools, bar stools and tall bar stools.
Counter stools are 24-29 inches tall and are a great choice for counters that measure between 34-39 inches in height. Bar stools are typically 30-36 inches tall and are meant for bar or kitchen counters that are 40-46 inches tall. If your counter or bar is taller than 48 inches, you will need a tall bar stool.
Accurate measurement of height is essential in this process. A stool too short will compel you to stretch whereas a stool too tall will result in you slouching – both of which are uncomfortable!
Comfort is key when choosing the perfect seating for your counter. Whether you're trying to get some work done or just sipping on a glass of wine, the stool you choose, should have a comfortable seat of your liking. Prolonged seating at the bar is common practice and only the most comfortable seats will allow for a relaxing time.
When looking at different seat styles, we're differentiating between them based on the shape, contour style and padding.
Check out the visual below to check out some of your different options for seats at Mercana!
Just like the seat, the seat back is an important decision to make for anyone looking to buy a bar or counter stool.
Some people prefer the 'open' feel of a backless stool while others think the back adds comfort to the stool. Often, bar and counter stools also sport a low-back design. This is the perfect point of settlement between having a seat-back and not having one. With a leather seat, and an antiqued gold metal frame, the Hollyfield II is a popular low back bar stool on the Mercana Marketplace.
While some people prefer to be seated on a stationary stool, others prefer a rotating, swivel style bar stool. Swivel style stools are easier to get on and off of while stationary stools are, for obvious reasons, more stable.
If you're trying to chat up with friends on the bar counter, you'd probably want to choose a swivel stool so you can turn freely on either side!
A beautiful looking bar or kitchen counter area is something we all deserve, and the visual appeal factor should not be ignored while shopping for stools.
Keeping in mind the color of your kitchen counter or bar area will help you choose the perfect seating in terms of visuals. Bar stools can be found in a metallic, wooden, acrylic, leather and other finishes. Each material has its own impact on visuals and functionality.
Choosing stools that fit the design style your home was based on is a great way to ensure your bar and seating goes well with the surroundings. Our Archer collection of bar stools (Archer, Archer II) fit perfectly with a Farmhouse Design Style, while our circular Oxford bar stools (Oxford I, Oxford II), with metal legs and rich leather cushions, will be the center of attention in an Industrial styled space.
These were five things we thought you should consider when trying to buy the perfect seating for your bar. If you have any more tips for our readers, let us know in the comments below.

If Our Obedience is Required, How Can it be Called a Covenant of Grace?
Our obedience within the covenant of grace affirms, rather than denies, the grace of God.
The covenant of grace, sealed by the death of Christ, and our obedience, produced by the life of Christ, are intrinsically bound together. Truly we see, while our obedience is essential to it, the covenant is rightly called the covenant of grace. Jesus told us this, not to produce legalists, not at all, but rather that our joy may be full.
In the confusion among some Christians who fear that obedience to the law will transform them into legalists and so miss grace, the question arises: If our obedience is required, how can it be called a covenant of grace? The presumed answer is that since it is by grace that we are saved through faith, then our obedience is not essential to the Christian life. Yet, Jesus says plainly: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love" (Jn. 15:10 ESV). This clearly tells us that our obedience is not tangential, but central to our walk with Christ.
We will explore here, how, in fact, our obedience within the covenant of grace affirms, rather than denies, the grace of God by answering this very question: If our obedience is required, how can it be called a covenant of grace?
We are included within the covenant of grace not because of our obedience but because of the mercy of God and the obedience of Christ. "So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy" (Rom. 9:16 ESV). It is rightly called a covenant of grace because our first inclusion in the covenant did not depend on our obedience.
We remain within the covenant of grace, not based on our perfect obedience, but rather on the grace of God in Christ. It is Christ who upholds the terms of the covenant of grace such that when we fail, we can be forgiven and renewed within the covenant. We are only able to repent and be restored within the covenant of grace, precisely because it isa covenant of grace. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:8-9 ESV). Nor does our confession of sin merit our forgiveness, rather our forgiveness is merited by grace, the work of Christ made available to all within the covenant of grace.
The persons of believers being accepted through Christ, their good works also are accepted in him; not as though they were in this life wholly unblamable and unreprovable in God's sight; but that he, looking upon them in his Son, is pleased to accept and reward that which is sincere, although accompanied with many weaknesses and imperfections (WCF 16.6).
Similarly, our good works—that is our works of obedience—are rewarded within the covenant of grace, only by grace, since they cannot merit reward, strictly speaking. "So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty'" (Lk. 17:10 ESV). Yet because the covenant is a gracious one, our always imperfect obedienceis rewarded as if it did merit the reward we receive, such that the reward is graciously called our reward. "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven" (Matt. 5:12 ESV).
Our obedience is the result of grace at work in us. Through our union with Christ, the work of the Spirit, and through faith, we are empowered such that we areable to ever obey his commands, and do the good works he has already prepared for us to do. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:8-10 ESV). We must never lose sight of this simple reality, it is God's grace that enables us moment by moment to ever obey his commands. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work" (2 Cor. 9:8 ESV).
Discipline for our failure to obey God is his grace to us. God does not bother to discipline those outside the covenant with his Fatherly rod, but those he has chosen by grace—as part of his love, grace and care to them—he disciplines in love. "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives" (Heb. 12:6 ESV). Were it not for his grace to us, he could simply leave us to wallow in the destructiveness of our sin, but the covenant of grace leads him to rescue us from our own disobedience and to lead us by his discipline to obedience. "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" (Heb. 12:11 ESV).
The call to obey the commandments of God is a grace itself. God's law sets out a path of life for us. Not, of course, that we can achieve life by perfect obedience. But the law serves to guide the grace-empowered Christian in the way he should walk in relationship with God and with his neighbor. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps. 119:105 ESV). Were we left to blindly find our own way in life without the light of the Word of God, we would far more often stumble and fall. But God's law is extended by his grace to his people to guide them toward his heart and deeper fellowship with him.
Therefore, we see that our obedience within the covenant of grace does in no way reduce the gracious nature of this covenant, but far rather, demonstrates and affirms the grace of God to his covenant children. "Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith" (Rom. 1:4-5 ESV). Grace and our grace-enabled, grace-accepted, grace-rewarded, obedience of faith are actually fully compatible; indeed, grace and obedience are inseparable for us.
The covenant of grace, sealed by the death of Christ, and our obedience, produced by the life of Christ, are intrinsically bound together. Truly we see, while our obedience is essential to it, the covenant is rightly called the covenant of grace. Jesus told us this, not to produce legalists, not at all, but rather that our joy may be full: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full" (Jn. 15:10-11 ESV).

Grace: More Than Unmerited Favor!


Britain's top Northern Ireland official is in Brussels for talks with the European Union's Brexit negotiator and other EU representatives on the future of the Northern Ireland-Ireland border.
His visit comes as the official Brexit negotiations on Britain's divorce from the EU are to resume Thursday. Time is running short for Britain to secure an agreement on departure terms and future relations before it leaves the EU in March 2019.
Talks remain deadlocked over the Irish border's status, how much Britain must pay the EU before it leaves and the rights of European and British citizens hit by Brexit.


The second Manatee (AO-58) was laid down 28 August 1943 by the Bethlehem-Sparrows Point Shipyard, Inc., Sparrows Point, Md.; launched 18 February 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Paul V. McNutt; and commissioned 6 April 1944, Lt. Comdr. Joseph B. Smyth in command.
Shortly after a 10-day shakedown period, Manatee departed the Chesapeake Bay area for the Dutch West Indies. Loading at that oil center, she got underway for the Panama Canal and the Pacific. Arriving at Eniwetok 16 June, she replenished the amphibious forces then invading Saipan. She shuttled from Eniwetok to the fueling areas throughout the campaigns for Saipan, Tinian, and Guam, until moving to Manus, largest of the Admiralties, 20 August. From Manus, she continued carrying fuel and other supplies to fast carrier group through the battle for Pelelieu and the first phase of the Philippine campaign. By 20 October, when Manatee departed Manus for the last time, Ulithi Atoll had been secured and had become the center for the fleet oilers.
From the Admiralties, Manatee proceeded north to support the forces then covering the Leyte landings. Her fueling activities kept her in the Philippines until late February 1945, when she returned to Ulithi. From Ulithi she steamed back to Leyte Gulf to fuel the amphibious forces gathering for the Okinawa campaign. On 28 March, she began shuttling oil from Ulithi to the carrier groups operating in the Okinawa invasion. She continued to work this supply line until the securing of the island 21 June, 82 days after the landings.
With the cessation of hostilities 15 August, Manatee sailed for Ulithi en route to San Pedro, Calif., arriving 7 October 1945. The oiler soon again departed the west coast for the Far East, returning to the western Pacific at the end of November to support the occupation operations. She made three round-trip voyages between the oil ports on the Persian Gulf and Tokyo before sailing for Hawaii. Overhaul completed at Pearl Harbor she departed Hawaii 11 September 1947 for the Persian Gulf. On this voyage the oiler was loaded at Ras Tanura, Arabia, and off-loaded at Norfolk, having arrived 17 November via the Suez Canal and Gibraltar.
Early the next year she departed for the Persian Gulf and made two voyages to Japan from Bahrain before returning to Norfolk 22 April 1948. She then commenced shuttle trips between Aruba, Bayonne, N.J., and Argentia. Departing the latter port 2 June, she steamed via the Persian Gulf and Japan for California, arriving 20 August.
On 6 January 1949, the oiler departed Long Beach for the western Pacific. Having completed three round trip cruises between Sasebo and the Persian Gulf, she returned to the west coast 17 July. At San Francisco, her rig for fueling at sea was removed and Manatee began 20 months service as an MSTS vessel. At first operating along the west coast, her assignments soon extended to the Caribbean, gulf and east coast ports. On 27 October, she departed Boston for Ras Tanura on the Persian Gulf. By 17 February, having called at Manila, Yokosuka, and Pearl Harbor, she was back at Long Beach. There she was reequipped for fueling at sea and again became a fleet oiler to support the fleet in operations to thwart Communist aggression in Korea.
On 17 march 1951, Manatee arrived in Japanese waters to begin her first annual WestPac deployment. After brief periods at Tokuyama and Sasebo, she received orders to replenish the Taiwan Straits Patrol. She returned to Sasebo 20 May and commenced servicing the Navy's ships in combat areas off the Korean coast. She continued to operate out of Sasebo for the next 5 months, returning to Long Beach 11 August. Her next two WestPac deployments, 21 March to 19 October 1952 and 6 February to 29 July 1953, followed the same pattern, 1 month with the Taiwan Straits Patrol and the remainder of the tour operating out of Sasebo in support of Korean operations.
Scheduled for only 4 months deployment in the western Pacific in 1958, mid-May through mid-September, Manatee remained an extra month to service the ships called to the area during the Formosa crisis over Quemoy and Matsu islands. The following year, after her 4 months WestPac duty, Manatee was chosen, because of constantly efficient service, to take part in a joint Canadian-American replenishment demonstration held 8 October 1959 for the 14th Annual Conference of the National Defense Transportation Association. In the year that followed Manatee continued to alternate duty on the west coast with Far Eastern service. She was one of seven ships chosen to visit Australia, 29 April-13 May, for the 1963 Coral Sea celebration.
With the stepped up operations in Vietnam, Manatee's 1964 WestPac tour was extended to 8 1/2 months, may 1953 through January 1965. During this period she operated principally in the South China Sea. South China Sea operations also occupied most of her 1966, 1967, and 1968 tours, replenishing the ships of the 7th Fleet on patrol in that area in support of the struggle against Communist aggression in Vietnam.

Laura and I visited her parents' house tonight and pumped them for more information on her dad's family. We drew up a tree of everyone we knew, including siblings. Good thing we did, because I think that's led to a breakthrough.
One interesting thing we learned was that Laura's great-grandfather, Atillio Maracci, came to America at one point. He went to Chisholm, Minnesota, and we were told he brought his daughter Emma, Laura's great aunt, to Minnesota to marry. So I searched on the Ellis Island site, and I found both of them. When I first found Atillio, I wasn't sure it was the right man, even though there was nobody else with that name, but now I am. He came to America on the Regina d'Italia, arriving in New York on 6 May 1909. He was 41 at the time. This would place his birthdate at about 1867-8, which is new information. Unfortunately, the image of the shipping manifest appears to be missing on the Ellis Island site, and I wasn't able to find it using Stephen Morse's alternate search interface, either, so I'll have to get this from the microfilm. The transcript shows his place of origin as Oriola, Genoa; there are a number of Oriolas in Italy, but none of them appear to be in Genoa province. I believe this is a mistranscription.
Emma, age 16, came to America on The America, arriving in New York on 5 Sep 1910. She was travelling with her cousin, 31 year old Paolo Tognoli, at her father's behest. Atillio paid for both their passages, and they were listed going to join him in Chisholm. The manifest says they were both from Arcola. Arcola could easily be misread as Oriola, particularly if it's written the way it's written in Paolo's entry. When I looked up Arcola on Multimap, it turned out to be right next to Pitelli, the village that Laura's grandmother listed as her hometown on her Social Security application. Even more interestingly, Emma and Paolo both have a different town listed as their birthplaces. I wasn't sure what the manifest said, so I entered the first few letters I could puzzle out into the search engine on Multimap and came up with Fivizzano, which is some few miles inland from Pitelli, Arcola, and La Spezia. It's also apparently the only town in Italy that starts with the letters "Fiv". Rereading the manifest with that knowledge, the birthplace definitely appears to be Fivizzano. And when I search for Maracci on the Ellis Island site, there are a number of other Maraccis who come from Fivizzano. Also, the Labo surname map shows one of the larger concentrations of the name Maracci today right in the area of Fivizzano. And Maracci isn't a common name, appearing in only 55 places, many of which are in the area around La Spezia. One other thing; the manifest lists Emma's mother as Catarina Peri. We have her name as Casimira Peri from other sources, including Laura's baby book and Albana's Social Security application. Since everything else checks out, I believe this is a mistake on the original manifest.

Asbestos dust is responsible for more deaths than any other work-related cause.
Every year nearly 4,000 people die as a result of exposure to asbestos fibres and this death toll is expected to continue.
Asbestos was once described as a 'miracle mineral'. It was cheap and easy to use and was used in almost every industry from ships, power stations, factories, hospitals, schools to our homes. It was used in boilers, brake linings and for many other industrial and domestic purposes.
Most skilled and unskilled workers in the thermal insulation, shipbuilding and repair and the trades involved in construction were put at risk by working with or in the vicinity of asbestos without protection until the 1970's and 1980's when new regulations forced the use of alternative products. Asbestos exposure does not just happen to those who worked with it.
Claims for compensation can be brought against employers or occupiers of buildings many years after the exposure. But the passage of time can make it very difficult to prove who was responsible for the exposure.
At Simpsons Solicitors we have an experienced team of qualified specialist lawyers dedicated to handling these claims. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos related illness such as Asbestosis, Pleural Thickening, Asbestos related Lung Cancer or Mesothelioma get in touch with us now, and one of our experienced team of qualified specialist personal injury lawyers will be able to advise you further.

SENDBS Crack [32|64bit]
SENDBS Crack 2022 [New]
SENDBS 2022 Crack computes average nucleotide substitutions within and between populations under the standard neutral theory of molecular evolution and assigns a test statistic to each pair of species. Average nucleotide substitutions between populations are approximated by the frequency-weighted average of nucleotide differences at single loci. The multilocus context is taken into account by modeling the site-specific variation of transition/transversion ratios as a function of the number of pairs of homologous sites. SENDBS is highly parameter-sensitive and calculates correctly the parameter values that optimally fit the observed data. It also computes the standard error of average nucleotide substitutions.
SENDBS computes the standard error of the average nucleotide substitutions in a similar way as Nei and Jin (1987) did, using a bootstrap method. SENDBS does not rely on the assumption that the loci are selectively neutral, since the evolution of all loci is modeled simultaneously.
SENDBS computes standard errors of average nucleotide substitutions with a bootstrap method by resampling sites, which is different from Nei and Jin's method. Also, sensbs constructs a population tree with a neighbor-joining method.
SENSBS Description:
SENSBS computes average nucleotide substitution rates between species and reconstructs a neighbor-joining tree.
SENSBS is a successor of the program Kishino-Hasegawa (KH) that was developed and is maintained by Koike et al. (1997). It is based on a coalescent model that takes account of the multilocus context. It computes average nucleotide substitution rates between species and reconstructs a neighbor-joining tree. It is thus a suitable alternative to the software RAxML (Stamatakis 2006) if you are interested in calculating average nucleotide substitution rates.
Note that SENSBS does not fit the assumptions made by KH, which might cause the reconstructed tree to differ. Also, sensbs requires a data file that contains, for each pair of species, the coding sequences that compose the sequences used to calculate average nucleotide substitution rates.

SENDBS Crack + Serial Number Full Torrent For Windows [Updated]
SENDBS computes average nucleotide substitutions within and between populations.
SENDBS is useful for species-level studies, such as the phylogenetic analysis of HIV subtypes, identification of migration events between genetically distinct populations or detection of diversifying selection.
SENDBS uses a method of computing standard errors of average nucleotide substitutions developed by Nei and Jin (1987) and implemented in the program SITES.
When multiple sequences of the same species are compared, SENDBS computes an average per-site sequence divergence, taking into account the length and frequency of different bases at each site.
However, SENDBS uses a bootstrap method to compute standard errors of average nucleotide substitutions.
SENDBS performs statistical tests to detect whether or not the difference between two populations is statistically significant.
If the test statistic is small (e.g. 1.0), then the difference is significantly different from zero; otherwise, it is not significantly different from zero.
SENDBS can either (1) construct a neighbor-joining population tree or (2) compute average nucleotide substitutions between populations by resampling the sites.
If we choose resampling, SENDBS uses the following two sampling methods, referred to as the "per-site resampling method" and the "bootstrap resampling method", respectively.
In the per-site resampling method, sites are resampled with replacement so that the total number of sites is equal to the original number of sites.
On the other hand, in the bootstrap resampling method, sites are resampled without replacement so that the number of sites per population is equal to the original number of sites.
In addition, SENDBS can be used in both unrooted and rooted tree formats.
SENDBS does not assume that the data is unrooted or rooted.
When the data is rooted, the population tree will be displayed as a rooted tree.
When the data is unrooted, it will be displayed as an unrooted tree.
In the per-site resampling method, the number of resampled sites is determined by the following parameters:
maxsites – maximum number of sites to be used for resampling
nc – number of populations to be compared
The results of resampling for the per-site resampling method are based on the program SITES version 2.01, which is found at
What's New in the SENDBS?
SENDBS computes average nucleotide substitutions within and between populations under the Kimura two-parameter (K2P) model. K2P uses a constant nonsynonymous substitution rate and a variable transition/transversion rate. When estimating divergence time, SENDBS assumes that the change in the synonymous substitution rate is negligible and that there are no change in population size. SENDBS provides average number of nucleotide substitutions per site (using K2P), average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site (using K2P), average number of nucleotide substitutions per nonsynonymous site (using K2P), average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site under the K2P model and maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the substitution rate (using the K2P model) with their standard errors. SENDBS also provides a file of the average number of nucleotide substitutions per site and maximum likelihood estimates of the substitution rate as a population tree. The population tree was computed using the neighbor-joining method implemented in PAUP\*.
SENDBS has 3 categories of data inputs:
Tree file (stored as the SENDBS data file): a list of characters, a list of vectors and two integer vectors for tree length and population sizes, respectively.
Mutation rate file (stored as the SENDBS data file): a list of characters with the names of the branch lengths, which is necessary for the estimation of substitution rate (K2P model).
Population file (stored as a SENDBS data file): a list of characters, a list of vectors and an integer vector for population size, respectively.
SENDBS provides the following outputs:
Output File: a SENDBS data file containing the above-mentioned information.
Average number of nucleotide substitutions per site (using K2P model): the average number of nucleotide substitutions per site (assuming the K2P model) between two populations.
Average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site (using K2P model): the average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site between two populations.
Average number of nucleotide substitutions per nonsynonymous site (using K2P model): the average number of nucleotide substitutions per nonsynonymous site between two populations.
Average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site (using K2P model) and maximum likelihood estimates of the substitution rate (using the K2P model): the average number of nucleotide substitutions per synonymous site and maximum likelihood estimates of the substitution rate (using the K2P model) between two populations.
Pairwise Substitution Calculations:
SENDBS computes the number of nucleotide substitutions from each population pair and computes the average of these numbers. Therefore, SENDBS does not distinguish between changes in the nonsyn

A competitor in the US Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition fires his weapon at a target at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, March 18, 2019.
More than 20 teams of snipers from around the world arrived in North Carolina last week for the US Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition.
They brought their own sniper rifles, carbines, and pistols.
The two-person teams tested their ability to work together, their speed, and and their accuracy in various environments.
Snipers from around the world tested their skills last week in intense events meant to look, feel and sound like combat.
The US Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition had 21 teams moving and shooting through a series of events designed to push competitors in their sniper and reconnaissance tactical skills.
Teams from the Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard also competed in the event March 17-22 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. But in the end it was the soldiers who won the top awards.

Transport for Greater Manchester releases multimodal smart card
Posted: 4 August 2017 | Intelligent Transport | No comments yet
Thousands of passengers can now, for the first time, use a single smart card for all their journeys on any Greater Manchester tram and bus.
This latest development is the next phase of Transport for Greater Manchester's (TfGM) 'get me there' smart card system, working with operators through Greater Manchester Travelcards Ltd (GMTL), and is a further step forward towards delivering a fully integrated smart system across the city region.
This makes it easy for users with a 'get me there' account to view and purchase a range of products online, making travel easier and more flexible, with no need to carry cash or queue at ticket machines.
"The expansion of get me there will certainly help make travel easier and, for the first time, enable people across Greater Manchester to hop on and off trams and buses with their smartcard," said Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham. "All this can only be good news and will, I hope, encourage more people than ever before to get on board with public transport, which will help to tackle congestion and air quality issues."
Season ticket holders will benefit from added security as any lost or stolen tickets and travelcards that have more than seven days left to run will be replaced, with customers able to order new cards online.
Furthermore, as well as being able to buy a new range of multimodal bus and tram products, new 16-18 and corporate smart cards have also been introduced.
"I'm delighted that today we're launching a smart ticket that allows truly flexible, multimodal travel on Greater Manchester's trams and buses for the first time," added Chair of the Transport for Greater Manchester Committee (TfGMC), Councillor Andrew Fender. "We are on a journey with get me there and smart ticketing. We know the travelling public wants a world-class, integrated, pan-Northern smart ticketing system, and this latest development brings us a step closer towards realising this ambition."

Air Force Mechanic
Our air force mechanic is operating a portable vice in the workshop at an airfield on the Western Front
Australia may not have had an 'air force' until 1921, but the Australian Imperial Force provided ground staff and aircrew for an Australian Flying Corps (AFC) that numbered four operational squadrons and at least one training squadron by 1918.
The AFC was equipped with at least a dozen different types of aircraft during the course of the Great War. Most of them biplanes, they were almost universally made of stiffened fabric stretched tight over a timber frame. Flaps and ailerons were operated by tightly strung metal cables, and aircrew sat almost on top of most engines and machine guns. To keep these primitive aeroplanes flying, each squadron required teams of skilled and ingenious mechanics.

From Skibbereen to the Moon Part 2: Ellen and Aubrey Clerke
In my post From Skibbereen to the Moon I wrote about the Clerke family of Skibbereen, but particularly about Agnes, who became one of the foremost astronomers and science writers of her day. But Agnes was one of a trio of remarkable siblings, each of who distinguished themselves as intellects and writers and I wanted to learn more about her sister, Ellen, and her brother, Aubrey. In the process, I came up with questions that reach into the heart of Skibbereen, and Irish, history.
Bridge Street, Skibbereen
But first – the Clerke (pronounced Clark) family: all three siblings grew up in Skibbereen, above the bank that their father managed. They lived through the Famine: John Clerke was one of the subscribers to the soup kitchen relief effort. After moving away in 1861, and apart from the years the women spent in Italy, the family lived together for the rest of their lives.
Used as a soup kitchen during the Famine
Above the bank – their home and school
It was, by all accounts, an harmonious and supportive household. The three were devoted to their parents and they encouraged and nurtured each other's scientific and literary pursuits. Aubrey coached Agnes in mathematics when she needed to move to a higher level of understanding in her astronomy studies, and the siblings accompanied each other to the various astronomical and geographical societies that each belonged to. Ellen was the stronger of the two sisters (Agnes's health was poor from childhood) and also the more social. According to Lady Huggins account, she played the guitar and sang well, she liked to ride and she "pulled a good oar."
While Agnes wrote mainly (although not exclusively) about astronomy, Ellen was more literary in her leanings, publishing extensively in the areas of poetry and criticism and writing in three (at least) languages. The book for which she should be most justly remembered is Fable and Song in Italy. Ellen's objectives with this book were twofold: to trace the influences on popular Italian song and to to introduce English readers to Italian verse. In order to do this she must have possessed an encyclopaedic knowledge of the great Italian poets and the ability to translate Italian verse to English verse. This had to be an incredibly difficult undertaking, not least because she was translating archaic Italian into a more contemporary language (that is, of her own time) in order that the "beauties" of the verse would not be "disguised by the obsoleteness of the language." She begins in the Renaissance with the Fifteenth Century Boiardo, author of Orlando Innamorato, a classic of European chivalric literature. Her account of the piece Charlemagne's Tournament from Orlando is complete with the story itself, discursive asides about the numerous characters and translations of selected verses.
From Fable and Song in Italy, Ellen's best work
She moves on to Boccacio, author of the Decameron. Crediting him with "giving the metrical romance an established place in literature" she asserts that he "supplied the poetry of the future with its main outlet of expression…" She provides many pieces of translation and compares his verbose style to Chaucer's (an admirer of Boccacio) more succinct phrasings, tracing the influences of the Italian on the English poet with great skill and using numerous illustrations. She has a chapter on The Hercules Saga and on the verse letters of the poet Ariosto; she describes the potent roles played by Dante and Petrarch in Italian verse; she works her way through a chapter on Italian Folk Songs to finish with a discourse on Manzoni and Modern Romanticism. It's a tour de force, showing a powerful intellect operating at the height of her powers. But it's also fascinating in that, as a devout Catholic with a Victoria sensibility, she deals with the sometimes hot and overblown romantic verse in a calm and often wryly humorous way, noting for example that despite all the chivalry and elevation of romantic love, Ariosto's real estimation of women was evidently "very low," as he "alternates between raillery and panegyric."
Everyone who was anyone wrote for the Famous Cornhill Magazine
Ellen wrote for various magazines, especially The Tablet (a Catholic periodical which she also helped to edit), the Cornhill Magazine and the Dublin Review (another influential Catholic journal, actually published in London). Although she never reached the stature of Agnes in astronomy, she was likewise interested in that subject and wrote two monographs on Jupiter and on Venus. A review of Jupiter and his Systems calls it a "capital little pamphlet" (it was 40 pages) and says it presents "a complete popular account of our present information regarding this planet and its satellites…in an interesting and straightforward way, equally removed from dullness and from the faintest traces of "smart writing."" She wrote literary studies in German and she studied Arabic to the extent of using original Arabic texts in her research. She was a highly regarded member of the Manchester Geographical Society (which admitted women!). One of her pieces for them was about Australian aborigines which was described as a "striking refutation of the generally held belief about them". Another one of her journalistic essays was about the dock labourers strike of 1889 in which she displayed her understanding of economics, her insistence on factual information (she used extensive statistics) and her empathy for low paid workers and their families, although in general her politics were conservative.
Cover, Aubrey Beardsley. Poem, Ellen Clerke
Ellen's venture into fiction was not, alas, as well received as her journalism and science writing. Just before she died she published her only novel, Flowers of Fire. I have found a single review, which pans it. "This story is interesting," it states, "as proving that neither Polish conspiracies nor Neapolitan courtships can fill the dreary void left in a novel by the absence of men and women…[The characters] are distinguished from each other only by some external badge, such as yellow hair or a hot temper, and by the single hard black line that marks off the good characters from the bad."
I couldn't find the text of Ellen's novel online, but I did come across a poem she translated from French, with the same title. It was published in The Yellow Book – a very smart quarterly with cover designs by Aubrey Beardsley. I have appended the poem to the bottom of this post.
Aubrey St John Clerke, like his sisters, was brilliant. He won gold medals at Trinity in Mathematics and in Science and was awarded a "studentship" of £100 per year – "the highest honour obtainable at the Degree examination." Although trained as a scientist, he choose to make his career in law, in which profession he became a specialist in land and property law and wrote books on the land law and conveyancing and articles for magazines, such as one for the Dublin Review of 1880 on 'The Land Question and Law Reform.'
These books and articles on buying and selling land were more than simple treatises on conveyancing: they were a significant contribution to Irish and British law, since a series of Land Acts, beginning in 1870 were passed, designed to transfer the ownership of property from the large landowners to the Irish people who lived and worked on it. Each Act improved on the one before, but all were complex and there were no precedents to depend on. But Aubrey did not confine himself to law and wrote on other topics too. At one point, in 1878, all three Clerke siblings were in print. According to Mary Brück's biography of Agnes, Aubrey's contribution was a piece in the Quarterly Review "on a political question in which he showed himself a staunch Unionist and Anglophile."
Clerke plaque, Bridge Street
The other Bridge Street Plaque: O'Donovan Rossa
It's interesting to note, in this regard, that when the Clerkes lived in Skibbereen, in the Bank House on Bridge Street, O'Donovan Rossa, the Fenian leader, was running a business further up the same street. Did John Clerke, in his capacity as the Bank Manager, have dealings with Rossa (who ran into financial difficulties with his seed business)? How did the conservative Clerkes feel about the Phoenix National and Literary Society that Rossa founded with the aim of liberating Ireland 'by force of arms.' How usual or unusual was it for staunch Catholics, such as the Clerke siblings, to be committed unionists and anglophiles? How would Aubrey feel, do you think, if he knew that the other memorial plaque on Bridge Street is to honour the memory of a Fenian?
Redcliffe Square, home to the Clerkes in London
Agnes and Ellen died within months of each other. Aubrey was the youngest of the family and the last to survive, living on alone in the grand house in London, becoming in the end reclusive. I can find no photograph of him or of his father: in this family it is the women who are most remembered. To his credit, Aubrey never seemed to resent that, remaining proud of and devoted to his two extraordinary sisters always.
Flowers of Fire
A Translation, by Ellen M. Clerke
FOR ages since the age of Chaos passed,
Flame shot in torrents from this crater pyre,
And the red plume of the volcano's ire
Higher than Chimborazo's crown was cast.
No sound awakes the summit, voiceless, vast,
The bird now sips where rained the ashes dire,
The soil is moveless, and Earth's blood on fire,
The lava—hardening—gives it peace at last.
But, crowning effort of the fires of old,
Close by the gaping jaws, for ever cold,
Gleaming 'mid rocks that crumble in the gloom,
As with a thunderclap in hush profound,
'Mid golden dust of pollen hurled around,
The burning cactus blazes into bloom.

Catching up on the last 4 entries, amazed, once again, how each one takes me someplace I never knew. The entry on Ellen, Agnes, and brother Aubrey Clerke introduced three remarkable people I had never heard of – and wonder why? Have to say that the excerpt from Ellen's book, Fable and Song in Italy, was the most captivating for me. What wonderful connections you make to describe the scope of her work and scholarship! The illustration of the Aubrey Beardsley cover on The Yellow Book sent me searching for more about him, and caused me to wonder if Harry Clarke might have been influenced by his style as well? Thanks for an enriching Sunday afternoon read!
Finola says:
Hi Susan, Thanks so much for your comments and we are so glad you are enjoying the blog. There's quite a bit on the internet about Aubrey Beardsley's influence on Harry Clarke, although he was a generation before Clarke. Take a look at this: http://digitalpoe.org/Gallery.html. And this: http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/clarke/decadent2.html. Lots of emphasis in these pieces on the decadent and grotesque, so it's fascinating that Harry Clarke was also working on stained glass religious iconography at the same time.
Roy McCarthy says:
Great work Finola. A rainy day in Skib would suggest that nothing much could spring from there, but how wrong can one be?
Just scratching the surface on what Skibbereen has to offer here, Roy!
YS says:
Finola. Those legal texts by Aubrey are v interesting! I want to read them.
I bet they are in your library. But if not, they seem to be available online on a print-on-demand basis.
Excellent detective work – the three of them deserve to be much better known. Astonishing what Ellen and Agnes achieved considering the restrictions of the era.
Amazing what's available when you start to dig deeply!

A good upper limit works with other room, comes his or her visual attraction and offers them a fresh completely new outlook that is either ergonomic as well as aesthetic.
Any time all of us think of hallway for the places of residence the matters that relates to the system is bright white together with flat. Regardless of all of the wonderful tips we tend to have taken forward with planning not to mention beautifying other dwelling, the latest fly seems to be an issue that skips all of our psyche alternatively easily. But yet a fantastic limit layout, gemstone inside family room or the cusine section, your kitchen or go with the space can certainly give you a room a fabulous private, inimitable and distinct temperament which additionally results in your indelible idea while in the attends to of those who step through.
With rendering a sleek contemporary different than providing the common glimpse by utilizing pendant units plus chandeliers, an innovative roof covering pattern are capable of doing may ask to assist you to any specific old area once coordinated with good the amount of light method.
A really perfect limit style alters for each space as well as every family home and even based on obtainable room or space; nearby rooms and additionally the look of the house, you'll find infinite shapes and colours to decide from. Provided by dish cap to make sure you stream upper limit, cove limit into the highly favorite decline cap, a majority of these spectacular hall inspirations convey a room or space this exclusive not to mention extraordinary think you might be soon after.
Fashionable ceilings is capable of doing a whole lot more than simply produce a normal the white kind of roof. While using outstanding volume of designs that are available and even just how designers can be using both variety together with characteristic, you can apparently include gorgeous LED lumination instruments during a more elaborate in addition to succulent ceiling design and style.
A good reason some customizable intended cap typically offer a different and then great allure is actually the simple inescapable fact it can easily modify the video or graphic perception a certain room or space will make in a grand fashion. Whilst use of the latest cathedral roof provide a decorations a more broad sense, any get rid of roof covering model can provide an important more compact and fashionable disregard that could be in line with the modern day style styles.
For that reason let us learn about an incredible number of hall design in which will surely motivate people.


While it's hard to believe that the game's only five years old, The Elder Scrolls fans have been waiting half a decade for Skyrim to come out. With only a month and a half to go until the fifth official TES game comes out, it's time to take another look at Cyrodiil and close the gates to Oblivion.
If there was one game to kickstart the Xbox 360, it was The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Released for Windows and the Xbox 360 in March 2007, the PS3 received a port of the game about one year later, around the time that the expansion pack, The Shivering Isles, was released.
Is the PS3 Port Even Better?
Is the Shivering Isles a Worthy Expansion?
You've created your character, spending over an hour to get the face and body just right. Now it's time to begin an adventure which will take you weeks, perhaps even months, to complete. Before you begin, read these Elder Scrolls: Oblivion guides to get a feel for the game. Perhaps the most important aspect of the game to keep in mind is that enemies scale with your level. While that game mechanic doesn't always work perfectly, it does help keep the game fairly balanced. If you find yourself outgunned, just try a different strategy. You'll never have to go grind in another area simply because you're not a high enough level.
Besides the main plot, factions provide fairly expansive stories themselves. They all follow the same pattern in the beginning: seek out the nearest guild chapter, sign up, and begin completing increasingly difficult missions to rise through the guild's ranks. Each faction provides a story 15-20 hours long, about the length of most video games released today. You don't have to complete these quests, but you'd be missing out on the best part of Oblivion if you decide to skip over them.
Thankfully, you aren't limited to only the main quest and factions. While they're a ton of fun, there are hundreds of little side quests, many of them minor. While completely unnecessary, you may want to complete them anyway simply to level up and build up your fortunes. Besides, exploring Cyrodiil is a reward in itself. Not every player will want to spend countless hours traversing the continent, but many gamers will simply enjoy exploring the landscape. Given the game's beauty, it's not hard to see why.
Oblivion is a very complex game, full of little details. Considering the game world's size, you're far more likely to miss a dungeon or NPC than you are to find it. Even many game mechanics only appear with a fair amount of digging. If you want the full Oblivion experience, you either have to scour every inch of Tamriel, spending hundreds of hours simply looking for things to do, or you can read these guides to guard yourself against becoming a vampire (or fix it, if we're too late), cure diseases, and become a fearsome mage.
Unlike some other companies (here's looking at you, Activision) which don't value the spirit of PC gaming, Bethesda supports the humongous modding community. Sure, not every mod out there is created equal, but modding helps keep the game up to date while providing content for years to come. Oblivion was very pretty when it came out, but the graphics have aged over the years. Just look at the stark contrast between Oblivion and Skyrim, even though they both run on Xbox 360 hardware. The differences on a PC are even more pronounced. Thankfully, modders took up the cry to make the game look even better, and they succeeded.
That's not even touching base on the extra quests and missions you can install or the massive complete overhauls of the game. In an era when some game companies are charging $50 or more for all the "official" DLC, consisting of recycled maps from the previous game, free mods really stand out and add a ton of real value.
Hey, I'm not here to judge. Cheat codes are less prevalent than they were a decade ago, largely due to the rise of multiplayer, where cheats are never enabled for obvious reasons. However, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion features a number of cheats on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, but the PC version outdoes both with its library of codes.
However, Oblivion was released a little too early for it to enjoy achievements across all platforms. Because it came out in 2006 (near the beginning of the achievement revolution), you'll only find achievements on the Xbox 360.
Oblivion was merely the latest title in a series started in 1994 with The Elder Scrolls: Arena, available on both CD-ROM and floppy drives. However, most gamers will be more familiar with Morrowind, a hugely successful title for Windows and the original Xbox, and the upcoming Skyrim.
If you haven't checked out these other games yet, Morrowind is pretty cheap while still offering hundreds of hours of exploration and questing. Both Oblivion and Morrowind serve as great introductions to the series. Skyrim will be coming out on November 11, and hopes are high for Bethesda's latest offering. For most other games, that excitement would simply be hype. I think there's some real hope behind this one though.
Now that you've got a good look at the past of the series, you should be set for the future. Whether you want to play Oblivion again for old time's sake, or you just want to read up on the old quests, you should have something to fill the time until Skyrim is released. If you think that there's something that we missed, or you want to praise/condemn Skyrim, then feel free to make a post in the comments below.

While transportation officials in Minneapolis are proud of the declining injury numbers, they believe that more work is needed to reduce the number of crashes (even though the crash rate has been declining).
In the meantime, bicyclists and motorists share a responsibility to share the road, and state law requires drivers to yield the right of way to bicyclists in the same manner as pedestrians. (Many accidents occur as a result of a driver's failure to yield.) Bike riders do not have the protections car drivers enjoy, so they are much more likely to be injured in a crash.
If you have questions about an injured bike rider's legal options, an experienced personal injury attorney can help.

States Will Not Give Nuclear Weapons to Terrorists

Assessing the risk of nuclear attack-by-proxy turns on the question of whether a state could sponsor nuclear terrorism and remain anonymous. A leader could rationalize such an attack—and entrust terrorists with a vitally important mission—only if doing so allowed the sponsor to avoid retaliation. After all, if a leader did not care about retaliation, he or she would likely conduct a nuclear strike directly. Giving nuclear weapons to terrorists makes sense only if there is a high likelihood of remaining anonymous after the attack.

"The choice facing the next Prime Minister and government is clear. On the one hand, he can continue the policy of the present Government. This will result in a slow slide down the second division of nations, an inability to defend the sea passages on which our global trade and standard of living depend (ninety per cent of our trade still comes by sea), an inability to secure our growing imported energy supplies and the vital food supplies which we in this country take for granted.
Or, the next Government can resist this decline, hold firm against the pressure to reduce defence funding, and provide an adequate defence provision with contingency reserve capability for all three Services. If this decision is made, it should be done as a deliberate and well researched policy."

The Arab involvement in Afghanistan was the result of two main factors: the entrepreneurship of the Palestinian preacher Abdallah Azzam, and the rise of a "soft pan-Islamism" promoted since the mid-1970s by non-violent international Islamic organizations such as the Muslim World League.
This policy memo is based on Thomas Hegghammer's ISP brownbag seminar presentation.

AMX Mod X uses rolling releases, and updates are continuous. Updates to stable versions of AMXX are small and non-disruptive. It is generally recommended to run the latest stable build, however, it is not necessarily urgent to upgrade when a newer build appears.
These are unstable, development AMXX builds. For stable builds, see this page instead.
Note: Read the documentation! The "base" package is ONLY the base files. A Mod Addon pack is ONLY extra files. You should download the Base Package FIRST, and then download a Mod Addon pack for your mod if applicable.


Members of the House Ways and Means Committee have re-introduced the International Child Support Recovery Improvement Act (H.R. 1896). Supported by NCSEA which testified before the Committee in 2012, the bipartisan bill mirrors the measure that the House of Representatives adopted last year. The measure would implement the Hague Convention Treaty to improve the enforcement of international child support cases. Ways and Means staff have indicated to NCSEA that the timing for considering the bill has yet to be determined. Last year's adoption of this bipartisan bill does indicate, however, that the measure has a very good chance of moving once again in the House.
For more information, please review the The House Ways and Means press release.

Q: Code is bypassing Array creation Loop from a sqlite database my NSMutableArray creation code is being bypassed altogether for some reason. in theory it is supposed to create an NSMutableArray based on an sqlite database. There is only one warning message and no errors. what am I missing?
the implementation file is:

    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

The implementation file for Mines is here:
#import "Mine.h"
@implementation Mine
@synthesize entryNumber, mineName, mineType, status, latitudeInitial, longitudeInitial, metal, display, coverRegion;
-(id)initWithEntryNumber:(NSNumber *)e mineName:(NSString *)n mineType:(NSString *)t status:(NSString *)s latitudeInitial:(NSNumber *)l longitudeInitial:(NSNumber *)o metal:(NSString *)m display:(BOOL *)d coverRegion:(NSNumber *)c
{
 self.entryNumber = e;
 self.mineName = n;
 self.mineType = t;
 self.status = s;
 self.latitudeInitial = l;
 self.longitudeInitial = o;
 self.metal = m;
 self.display = d;
 self.coverRegion = c;
 return self;
}
@end

The NSLog "Second if statement initialized" is not showing up on the console. any ideas as to what needs to be fixed here? and yes I know, I should be using core data.

A: It seems you've answered your initial question about it loading. For your secondary question regarding the crash about the null string, you should be loading strings like this:
if (sqlite3_column_text(init_statement, 0) != NULL) {
    self.someString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(init_statement, 0)];
} else {
    self.someString = @"";
}

At Westminster Magistrates' Court yesterday, he was found guilty of failing to surrender to the court.
He now faces U.S. federal conspiracy charges related to one of the largest ever leaks of government secrets.
The UK will decide whether to extradite Assange, in response to allegations by the Department for Justice that he conspired with former U.S. intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to download four classified databases.
He faces up to five years in U.S. prison if convicted on the charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
Dressed in a black suit and black polo shirt, he waved to the public gallery and gave thumbs up. He pleaded "not guilty" to the 2012 charge of failing to surrender to the court.
The organisation hit the headlines four years later when it released footage of U.S. soldiers killing civilians from a helicopter in Iraq.
Former U.S. intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning was arrested in 2010 for disclosing more than 700,000 confidential documents, videos and diplomatic cables to the anti-secrecy website.
She said she only did so to spark debates about foreign policy, but U.S. officials said the leak put lives at risk.
The indictment, issued last year in the state of Virginia, alleges that Mr Assange conspired in 2010 with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to access classified information on Department of Defense computers. He faces up to five years in jail.

Emerging Trends | Infrastructure | Satellite | SDG9
Satellite sector signals development agenda
In many cases, satellites remain unmatched for reaching remote areas.
"Satellite is good for coverage. It reaches places that other technologies can't reach." – Aarti Holla-Maini, Secretary General of the EMEA Satellite Operators Association (ESOA)
In view of the emergence of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, the satellite sector is keen on highlighting its benefits for development initiatives.
Aarti Holla-Maini, Secretary General of the Europe Middle East and Africa Satellite Operators Association (ESOA), understands that satellite's competitive advantage with reach translates to responsibility. At the 18th Global Symposium for Regulators, Holla-Maini identified the three Cs – connectivity, collaboration and communications – of its development agenda.
Its reach is only one of the reasons why the satellite industry will play a key role in advancing the private sector's technology for good agenda.
Like its private-sector counterparts Facebook and Microsoft, ESOA kept connectivity front and center of the first Industry Advisory Group for Development Issues (IAGDI) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland last week.
"The overwhelming outcome was that connecting everybody … sustainably, affordably has to be the number one priority." – Holla-Maini
On the issue of affordability, the satellite industry is driving change, says Holla-Maini. Innovations in the space sector are helping to bring the cost of connectivity down. It's also cheaper than ever to launch satellites, she points out.
Holla-Maini asserts collaboration is key to developing "the most cost-effective, fastest, cheapest way to connect people."
To connect the unconnected, ESOA is betting not only on innovation within the satellite industry, but also on collaboration across industries.
"By being convened by the ITU, by being multistakeholder, multisector, and by being neutral it [IAGDI] provides a really good platform that we hope will foster collaboration between different industries." – Holla-Maini
ESOA sees GSR as a platform for making satellite's benefits visible. As Holla-Maini points out, "We're not a hand-held device."
Even if people cannot hold a satellite in the palm of their hand, Holla-Maini understands the importance of being user-centric.
"We should be setting a set of common objectives across the industry keeping the user at the center of the objective." – Holla-Maini
Focusing on the user is key to successful private sector collaboration on expanding connectivity.
Satellites offer traditional advantages that support development initiatives, says Holla-Maini. For example, satellite's monitoring capabilities are very relevant to climate change and earth observation.
Where satellites stand out is in their ability to communicate the data we generate, she says.
"Communications is probably the gel that brings it all together." – Holla-Maini
In looking to the future, Holla-Maini sees a role for satellites in broadcasting and backhauling the masses of data we will generate with the IoT.
Simply put, satellites keep services running consistently. Like a battery-operated radio, its benefit to development persists in the Digital Age.
