OTTAWA -- An idyllic estate on the shore of Meech Lake outside Ottawa will be the scene Thursday when representatives from more than a dozen countries gather to discuss the war against the Islamic State group and the futures of Iraq and Syria.
The meeting, co-hosted by Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and his American counterpart James Mattis, comes as Canada weighs its own role in the region, where the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant remains a threat despite its battlefield defeats.
A recent U.S. Defense Department report that said while ISIS has lost nearly all the territory it once controlled in Iraq, it has started to dig roots as an "effective" insurgent group -- and that it could take "years, if not decades" before the Iraqi military can deal with it on its own.
Canada earlier this year assumed command of a NATO training mission that includes 250 Canadian troops and whose aim is to train the Iraqi military so that it can ensure security and defend against threats such as ISIS.
But hundreds of other Canadian soldiers not assigned to the training mission have continued to fly transport and refuelling aircraft, collect and analyze intelligence and provide medical assistance to coalition efforts against ISIS.
That aspect of the mission is set to expire in March, and the question going into Thursday's meeting is whether the federal government will opt to keep those troops in Iraq, change their mission or begin to take them out of the country.
"We want to be a responsible coalition partner," Sajjan said Wednesday when asked whether the government will extend the mission in Iraq. "We're doing the proper analysis and we'll adjust with the situation."
The Meech Lake meeting will involve representatives from 13 countries leading the fight against ISIS, whose capture of large swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014 and brutal tactics resulted in a massive U.S.-led military intervention involving dozens of countries.
Canada initially deployed a handful of special-forces soldiers to help the Kurds in northern Iraq defend against further ISIS incursions in September 2014, before adding fighter jets, surveillance and refuelling aircraft and more troops.
The mission, now in its fifth year, has evolved numerous times. That includes the Liberal government's decision to withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the region in 2016 and a shift from training Kurdish forces to helping the Iraqi military.
The Liberal government has given military commanders permission to deploy up to 850 Canadian Forces members to the region, though a military spokeswoman could not say Wednesday how many are on the ground now.
The U.S.-led coalition against ISIS says the extremist group has lost all the territory it held in Iraq and still holds less than one per cent of the land it once occupied in Syria.
"Great progress has been made. Daesh now does not control any territory," Sajjan said Wednesday. "Now we need to make sure that we focus on the capacity-building and the training."
Yet a report released by the U.S. Defense Department's lead inspector general for overseas contingency operations last month warned that "an effective clandestine ISIS organization appears to be taking hold in both countries."
Iraq's deserts and mountains were found to have made it hard for the Iraqi military to oust the last ISIL remnants, it added, allowing the group to continue attacks against Iraqi forces, local community leaders and the country's power grid.
That, in turn, has weakened public confidence in the Iraqi government and military, which is already low amid anger and protests over a lack of water, electricity and jobs as corruption and political instability in Baghdad have slowed post-ISIS recovery.
Political, ethnic and religious divisions, as well as competing interests among various foreign actors such as the U.S. and Iran, have posed significant challenges to stabilization and reconstruction over the past year.
Yet while Canada and others have turned their efforts to train the Iraqi military from fighting on the battlefield to counter-insurgency, the report quoted the U.S. Defense Department as warning that it could take "years, if not decades" for the Iraqis to become self-reliant.
"Systemic weaknesses remain, many of which are the same deficiencies that enabled the rise of ISIS in 2014," the report reads.
The assessment raises questions about how long U.S. forces will need to remain in the country, it adds, "since the goal of that mission is defined as the 'enduring defeat' of ISIS."


The members of the Security Council heard on 23 January 2018 a briefing by the Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, on the situation in Mali.
The members of the Security Council welcomed the renewed commitment of the Government of Mali and the Plateforme and Coordination armed groups to the expeditious implementation of all of their remaining obligations under the Agreement by the end of March 2018, through the adoption of a revised agreed-upon timetable during the last meeting of the Comité de Suivi de l'Accord held in Bamako on the 15 and 16 January 2018. They welcomed the appointment of the Carter Center as the Independent Observer referred to in the Agreement, and called upon all parties to cooperate fully with it. They welcomed the establishment of an International Commission of Inquiry, in accordance with the Agreement and as requested by resolution 2364 (2017), and called upon all parties to cooperate fully with it.
The members of the Security Council expressed a shared sense of impatience regarding the persistent delays in the full implementation of key provisions of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali ("the Agreement"). They underscored the pressing need to deliver tangible and visible peace dividends to the population in the North and other parts of Mali in order to preserve the relevance of the Agreement as well as to prevent the gains achieved from being potentially reversed. They stressed the importance of making substantive progress ahead of the electoral cycles due to take place in Mali in 2018. They underlined that all parties to the Agreement share the primary responsibility for making steadfast progress in its implementation.
The members of the Security Council stressed in this context the importance of taking immediate and concrete action to fully and expeditiously deliver on key provisions of the Agreement, in particular through: progress in the decentralization process, including through the holding of appropriate consultations between the parties aimed at reviewing and strengthening consensus on existing legislation and through the adoption of legislation establishing a regional territorial police force; the operationalization of the interim administrations in the North of Mali, including through the allocation of the necessary human, technical and financial resources to perform their missions; progress in the cantonment and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration processes, including through the definition of adequate eligibility criteria and reintegration quotas and through the submission of finalized lists of candidates, as well as progress in the security sector reform, with a view to the progressive redeployment of the reconstituted armed and security forces in Mali; the establishment of the Operational Coordination Mechanism in Kidal and Timbuktu; and ensuring full and equal participation of women.
The members of the Security Council recalled that actions taken that obstruct, or that obstruct by prolonged delay, or that threaten the implementation of the Agreement, now constitute a basis for sanctions designations pursuant to resolution 2374 (2017), among other designation criteria. They took note of the establishment of the Sanctions Committee and of the Panel of Experts established pursuant to resolution 2374 (2017), and called upon all actors to cooperate fully with them. They expressed their intention to follow the situation closely and to respond with appropriate steps should the parties not implement the commitments made in the timetable referred to above.
The members of the Security Council urged all parties as well as international forces present in Mali to comply with their obligations under applicable international law and to bring an end to all human rights violations and abuses. They encouraged the Government of Mali to continue its efforts to combat impunity, with the support of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). They encouraged the Government of Mali to work with all relevant actors on draft legislation aimed at supporting national reconciliation, as announced by President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.
The members of the Security Council reiterated their full support to the Special representative of the Secretary-General for Mali and Head of MINUSMA, Mahamat Saleh Annadif, the international mediation team led by Algeria, MINUSMA and the French forces that support it. They emphasized the central role the SRSG should continue to play to support and oversee the implementation of the Agreement by the Government of Mali and the Plateforme and Coordination armed groups. They called on all members of the Comité de suivi de l'Accord and other relevant international partners to show renewed support to the implementation of the Agreement.
The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Mali. They underlined that lasting peace and security in the Sahel region will not be achieved without full, effective and inclusive implementation of the Agreement.

California Welcome Centers in the North Coast
The western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Range, defining California's eastern border, are known as the Gold Country, named after the rich Mother Lode discovered here in the mid-1850s. While gold is still found in the region, new riches include top museums and art in Sacramento, the state capital, plus white-water rafting, tucked-away towns, farm-fresh dining, and award-winning wines.
On the western oceanfront of Northern California, at the state's distinctive bend along the coast, lies this breath-taking region. It's framed by an unforgettable gateway—the iconic Golden Gate Bridge—spanning the mouth of San Francisco Bay. Explore diverse cities, picturesque hamlets, family-friendly beaches, coastal parklands, and wine country, including Napa and Sonoma wine country, 1½ hours north of San Francisco.

Each holiday brings a new something to be grateful for. Each day brings a new experience. Over the week of Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to go to Disney World — also known as the most magical place on Earth. This is undeniably true. I got sick my last day there, but this couldn't muddle the fact that I was in the creation of a dreamer such as myself, Mr. Walt Disney. He wasn't even alive to see the opening of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. However, he had a team of people who had faith in him and believed in his dream. Because of this, Disney World is still a raving success.
"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" is director David Yates's sixth installment in the Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts franchise. It follows Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) who wants to have his international travel privileges reinstated; however, after the events of the first "Fantastic Beasts," he is constantly denied. He is unwillingly pulled into the fight against Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) and his evil forces. He must quickly choose where his allegiance lies — or the consequences could be catastrophic.
Every December families begin to celebrate the holidays. College students and distant relatives flock back home from around the globe to spend time with their loved ones. Everyone has personal traditions they look forward to each year. For many families, going out to see a movie is a tradition.
How do students handle stress?
At times, life can be very stressful. Sometimes, there is no clear idea of what to do in periods of stress. This is one of the main topics that college students struggle with.

TV measurement of narrow target groups
In this week's egta bite we will focus on audience measurement and present an innovative method for using Return Path Data (RPD) data to build and commercialise TV channels.
Atmedia Group, egta's Polish member selling thematic and niche channels (also present in the Czech Republic & Hungary) launched SpotLight – their proprietary television viewing measurement platform in Poland. In cooperation with UPC Polska (the largest cable network in Poland) and Nielsen Audience Measurement, SpotLight monitors the behaviour and preferences of almost 12,000 Polish viewers. The survey provides data to better meet the needs of advertisers and agencies in order to reach viewers of the increasing number of niche channels available in Poland. It allows precise analysis of a given programme and provides commercial ratings for pay TV viewers. The size of the sample, three times larger than in the general market television survey in Poland, enables analysis of viewing figures even among the narrowest target groups.
Previously, the television market used very wide target groups, such as 16-49, 13-29 or 4-12, whereas SpotLight can monitor and analyse the behaviour of Polish TV viewers on a minute-by-minute basis in more narrow demographic groups based on data collected by the company's digital decoders (Return Path Data technology).
Why does it matter to egta members?
In a growing market undergoing rapid fragmentation, characterised by a marked increase in the range of stations available and the number of brands advertising on television, both broadcasters and advertisers need to address their offer to narrower target groups. Where the traditional research sample is rather small (in Poland, only 1,700 households are measured in a total population of almost 40 million people) this cannot be achieved. This mainly affects those marketers concentrating on niche audiences, as they do not have an effective tool that would enable them to plan a TV campaign targeted on these narrow groups of consumers. It is also the case that niche channels are affected by a lack of precise data on their viewership when creating their programming offers.
The data provided by a measurement tool such as that developed by Atmedia tackles all these issues; the sales house can perform its own measurement of television viewing among 5,000 households. A study shows that cable users are heavy watchers of TV and also heavy buyers of FMCG products (26% above the average in Poland). Therefore this target group is also very attractive for advertisers. Agencies normally consider the core target group in the concept and creation of spots, but it is rare that they use these narrow target groups for buying airtime. However, as has been demonstrated by Atmedia, this type of data can be used more creatively. Atmedia analysed the target groups of certain brands and was then able to recommend the channel that offered the best fit in terms of programming and audience profile for a given brand. Advertisers can therefore book airtime on the best channel for the target group they want to reach.
This type of measurement does not aim to replace the traditional national system, rather it offers additional possibilities on how to sell airtime and better adjust to narrow target audiences such as heavy FMCG buyers. It even provides larger samples on some very specific groups, for example single women in big cities or the viewership of zero rated spots. To further develop usage of these data Atmedia also organises creative workshops with media agencies and advertisers to help them learn how to use the data provided.

Mineral Found In Meteorite Never Seen In Nature Before
Guillaume Souvant/Getty Images
By Jim Dykstra/Dec. 26, 2019 3:52 pm EST
Us humans are a curious bunch. We never stop poking, prodding, observing and reporting things. We like to find new stuff and make new things, which is why we have Google and Etsy. But we're more than Googlers and crafters. We are mathematicians, psychologists and scientists. And it's the latter group that has brought us this new nugget of interesting info — we've just found a mineral in a meteorite never before seen in nature, according to CNN. Here's the story of a little mineral called Edscottite.
Our story begins in 1951, when the Wedderburn meteorite crash-landed not far from Museums Victoria, in The Land Down Under. Not long after, scientists began slicing open the little fellow to see what sort of bugs and goo would come out. So far, they've found nothing you'd see on a Nickelodeon commercial in between episodes of Doug, but they have found some cool stuff. The coolest? Edscottite!
We've seen it before, but only in a man-made form. Edscottite is a "phase iron goes through when it's cooling down from a high temperature, as it's smelted into steel." This is the only time we've seen it in nature, which is rather surprising.
"We have discovered 500,000 to 600,000 minerals in the lab, but fewer than 6,000 that nature's done itself," Stuart Mills, Museums Victoria's senior curator of geosciences, reported to the Melbourne newspaper The Age.
Great Scott! It's Edscottite!
Carl De Souza/Getty Images
In other words, we've only found about 1 percent of the minerals that we've made in labs outside of the lab. It's kind of like finding a holographic, first edition Charizard at a thrift store, except not even Charizard is as cool as Edscottite, because Charizard isn't from space.
We don't know how it was formed, yet, but one theory is that it was "blasted out of the core of another planet," after a violent collision with another astral body. Thanks for the Edscottite, Planet Xenoschron!
As for the mineral's cute name, that's a credit to "The Father of Edscottite," one Ed R.D. Scott, a "cosmochemist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and pioneering meteorite researcher. He first identified the unique iron carbide in 1971 while studying the meteorite, but technology hadn't advanced far enough for him to characterize its structure." This man was dealing in Edscottite before Edscottite was even a thing.
So for all you memelords and Etsy princesses reading this — set down your keyboards, pick up your electron microscopes, and one day you too may have your own rare mineral named after yourself. Then you can meme it up and sell it on Etsy.

Are you planning a conference soon and looking for a professional, quick and cost effective way of printing Name Tags for your delegates?
We have a great solution for you – in fact we have two. If your conference or training event is informal or you have completely run out of time to order a custom solution, we can ship you plastic name tags with blank inserts. You can then simply write the delegates name on the insert, or stick a label onto the card (provided) and insert.
Our conference Name Tags come in packs of 50. Pricing is dependent on the quantity required. Please contact us for a quotation.
If you are looking for a more professional and custom solution, we can do a full colour print with your branding and each delegates details (including photograph – if you have available). These cards (90mm x 50mm) can then simply be inserted into the plastic conference tag and used immediately.
The tag has a pin and a clip at the back, as your delegates may prefer one or the other. It is also then possible to recycle/reuse the plastic name tags, by simply putting a box and a sign at the exit point. Most delegates discard their Name Tags in any event, so find it useful to have a drop off point at the actual venue.
For this solution, all we need from you is the artwork for the master file and then the variable details (delegates name, designation, company etc) in an excel spreadsheet so that we can merge with the master when we print.
We also offer a free layout service and you then simply need to provide us with a high resolution logo and any other corporate identity guidelines you may have.
Our turnaround time for custom conference Name Tags is 2-4 working days from sign off of the proof and receipt of your proof of payment. Contact Us now for a quote.


1. Because several blogs pass information that does not correspond to the reality regarding the exchange of coins Nacreous Coin by Certificates of Deposit, Gold Bars or Cash directly in our services, we need to inform for full clarification: The first phase of exchanging coins for Certificates of Deposit or Gold Bars or Cash occurred during the month of March this year according to our whitepaper, by the end of this year we will open a new window for anyone with 5K of Nacreous Coin to exchange them by Certificates of Deposit, Gold Bars or Cash. We further inform that the coins that were obtained fraudulently and unfortunately we have some cases which will be subject to an analysis and will be put out of circulation and will not be accepted in the exchanges.
2. We have hereby informed that we have reached an agreement with tradebytrade and it will cease trading with the Nacreous Coin. Soon will be announced a top exchange that will trade Nacreous Coin.
We are pleased to announce that as of December 6 Nacreous Coin is available on the tradebytrade platform.
For moral, ethical, professional and deep respect for our investors, partners, employees and the general public, we are reporting that the partnership with Tabarak Investment Capital Ltd (Bank) in Dubai ends here.
I want to thank Dr. Ahamdi CEO / Founder of Tabarak very personally for the collaboration and support provided as we worked together and wish the bank the whole success of the World in its journey that I hope and wish to be fruitful.
As a result of this discontinuation of this partnership with Tabarak, we must inform that we will anticipate one of the investments foreseen in our road map, which is the creation of our own bank. Since the beginning of the project several steps have been taken in line with the Nacreous project and we are glad to inform you that we already open our own bank in USA.
Nacreous Coin will continue to have full backing through gold deposit certificates as from the start of the project. The certificates will be issued and securitized by one of the banking partners with whom we work.
The rules for redeeming currencies remain, so an investor who collects 5000 Nacreous coins and according to our calculation formula that can be consulted in the whitepaper, can request the remission of the same by a certificate of deposit or by physical gold and in receive the equivalent in Euros or Dollars for their Nacreous.
To do this, simply contact us with the request of the intended, so that we can operationalize your desire with the bank partner in a short space of time that will not exceed the 7 bank days.
If the answer is Yes, everything goes as planned and we appreciate the increased confidence in the Nacreous project.
If the answer is no, The initial investor should indicate the bank account to which the initial investment should be returned and we will do so on the days underlying it.
For Investors who do not want to continue the investment, a word of appreciation and understanding and an eternal thank you for believing in us.
Firstly, we would like to thank all the investors who believe in our project and have demonstrated it in the very short term phase of ICO.
We would also like to inform you that we are delayed in entering the exchanges due to technical issues of the coin itself which we are dealing to solve the issues together with the partners.
Thank you in advance for the patience of all investors and we inform you that in a few days we will use this medium to finally announce the exchanges and we will do it individually by email for each and every one of you.

In the past decade, Google has been the ranked the top search engine used worldwide, whether you are searching for information, businesses, or services. Listing your business on Google is free and with a few easy steps, this may be accomplished entirely yourself. As a nationwide locksmith franchise, we will focus on how to add your business on Google and a few tips along the way.
Verifying your business with Google is crucial in having you appear to customers on Google Search and Maps, and the process is usually accomplished by postcard. Once verified, you will have the capability in managing your business information on Google Maps, Search, and other properties while ensuring that only you, the business owner or manager, have access to it.
Before you go through the verification process, you must create or claim a Google My Business listing.
Search for your business using its name and address and click Next. If you do not see your business listed on the menu, click "No, these are not my businesses" or "I've correctly entered the business". You will then be prompted to enter details of your business, including an accurate and complete address along with a phone number to reach your business directly.
Most businesses require verification through postcard. You enter your business information into Google My Business and you should expect a postcard with a verification usually within 20 days. Make sure you fill out your business address correctly including state, zip code, and suite number (if applicable).
While waiting for your verification code, it is important you do not edit your business name, address, category, or ask to resend a new verification code. Performing any one these actions will delay the process and arrival of the verification code for your business.
Once you have received your verification code, sign into your Google My Business account, click on Manage Locations, then Verify Now. Enter the 5-digit verification code you received in the mail and click Submit. Your business information will now be eligible to appear live on Google Maps, Search, and other Google services.
If after two weeks you have not received your verification code, you should contact Google.
*Note: Some businesses are eligible for phone verification. Check Google's terms and conditions to see if this applies to your business.

Q: Marionette ItemView trying to render template before fetch in init completes UPDATE
I've created a work around for my project.  I set an empty template to be this views default template (actually contains loading message and throbber in case of any further delays) and set the model change event to replace the views $el html with the groupTemplate when it's ready.  This makes a seemless transition on my dev, test and production box, however, if production gets slow while retreiving the model's data, it will actually get to show the loading message.
define([
  'underscore',
  'backbone',
  'marionette',
  'models/group',
  'text!templates/shared/empty.html', // include empty template
  'text!templates/groups/group.html'
], function(_, Backbone, Marionette, groupModel, emptyTemplate, groupTemplate){
  var GroupView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend({
    initialize: function() {
      var view = this;

      this.model = new groupModel({id:this.options.groupid});

      // listen to the model change and display the real template when fired.
      this.model.on('change', function(){
        view.$el.html(_.template(groupTemplate, view.model.attributes));
      });

      this.model.fetch();
    },
    template: emptyTemplate // display empty template be default
  });
  return GroupView;
});

I have a single layout using nested column layouts (three column in this case).  The nested layouts are called with the corresponding views and it requires those views and shows them in it's own regions. (if there is a better way to do this, please let me know).
My problem is the GroupView for col2 (nested three-column layout) is using an ItemView and is using a model that has no data to start.  The model retreives the data using a url and not from a collection, so a fetch must be used to retreive the data.  The ItemView is trying to render it's template using a model with no data and fails to find the model fields.  Giving me the following error.

Uncaught ReferenceError: groupname is not defined

Is there a way to delay rendering or does ItemView have an undocumented emptyView like the colletionsView?  If there is a better way to handle this, please let me know.
Router Controller
group: function(groupid) {
  // require and setup our three column layout
  require([
    'views/layouts/three-column', 'views/shared/left-user-menu',
    'views/groups/group', 'views/shared/location'
  ], function(threeColumnLayout, leftView, groupView, locationView) {
  App.wrapper.currentView.main.show(new threeColumnLayout({
    views: {
      col1: new leftView(),
      col2: new groupView({groupid: groupid}),
      col3: new locationView()}
  }));
}

Nested Layout (three-column)
define([
  'underscore',
  'backbone',
  'marionette',
  'text!templates/layouts/three-column.html'
], function(_, Backbone, Marionette, threeColumnTemplate) {
  var Layout = Backbone.Marionette.Layout.extend({
    initialize: function(options) {
      var layout = this;

      this.on('render', function(options){
        layout.col1.show(options.options.views.col1);
        layout.col2.show(options.options.views.col2);
        layout.col3.show(options.options.views.col3);
      });
    },
    tagName: 'div',
    template: threeColumnTemplate,
    regions: {
      col1: '#col1',
      col2: '#col2',
      col3: '#col3'
    }
  });

  return Layout;
});

Group ItemView
define([
  'underscore',
  'backbone',
  'marionette',
  'models/group',
  'text!templates/groups/group.html'
], function(_, Backbone, Marionette, groupModel, groupTemplate){
  var GroupView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend({
    initialize: function() {
      this.model = new groupModel({id:this.options.groupid});
      this.model.fetch();
    },
    template: groupTemplate
  });
  return GroupView;
});

A: Fetch and then render when you know your data is ready. Use promises to make it easy as backbone fetches return promises already.
initialize: function () {
  var that = this;
  var fetching = this.model.fetch();

  fetching.done(function() { that.render(); });
}

A: Had a similar problem
Backbone Marionette Displaying before fetch complete
this.model = new groupModel({id:this.options.groupid});

will fire render because there is an object being passed. before getting the fetch
..
My normal workaround was to set a blank default for anything that the template needs before the fetch hydrates the object.

Dan Ramirez
Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibit of remarkable abstract paintings by Chicago-native Dan Ramirez, opening January 6, 2017. Entitled Aletheia, this important and significant exhibition continues Ramirez's ongoing exploration of the existential experience in contemporary times through geometric abstraction, which employs philosophical and visceral ambiguities of perception. Ramirez, whose ever searching work follows a long line of modernists, most notably Barnett Newman, achieves an exquisite balance of the formal and aesthetic through playfulness of image, paint and surface.
Ramirez's recent 2016 solo exhibition, featuring 27 works, spanning 40 years, entitled Contemplations: Dan Ramirez Works from the Permanent Collection, National Museum of Mexican Art, received high acclaim.
"...Ramirez's art is unapologetically and grandly high modernist... one that reflects our love of cool, intriguing geometries. Yet his art is also sensuous and passionate—he's a poet and jazz bassist, after all.
...Like much successful art, Ramirez's works reward careful viewing. Lines gradually attenuate and vanish, the edges of pieces are painted, and shadows are cast by slightly askew interstices. But all this formal fine-tuning is in the service of larger conceptual issues concerning vision, perception and even existence itself. About his art-making Ramirez has said, 'I'm always talking to the object in front of me.' Judging by the finished products, it's a rich conversation."
- Mark Pohlad, New City Art, September 2016
Due to the significance and outstanding quality of Ramirez's body of work the Chazen Museum in Madison, Wisconsin has scheduled an upcoming exhibition entitled, Certainty and Doubt: The Paintings of Dan Ramirez. This exhibition will include some 50 paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks dating from 1972 to the present. Works will be borrowed from the National Museum of Mexican Art as well as various museums and private collections throughout the country. An extensive catalogue, including major essays and a fully illustrated checklist will accompany the exhibition. This show is scheduled to open for October 13, 2017 and will continue through January 7, 2018.

STI is a family owned and operated business that began over 35 years ago with Jack Taylor's invention of the Pull Station Protector. Safety Technology now markets over 1000 unique products throughout the world to prevent false fire alarms and the theft and vandalism of the things that protect us all such as smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other critically important equipment.
Headquartered in Waterford, Michigan with an office in Worcestershire, England, the STI team has worked hard to continue the efforts Jack Taylor started. The first product, the Pull Station Protector (today the Stopper®), came directly at the request of a high school principal in the Detroit, Michigan, who had a problem with false fire alarms. Most new products throughout the years are a direct result of these types of requests. If you have a false fire alarm issue, theft, vandalism or other problem, we invite you to contact us with the challenge of solving it for you.

Q: A function that creates a function with parameters I am writing a function that will take a sequence of strings as a parameter, and then return a function (probably a lambda) where those strings are the names of the parameters. I can make it return a function, but I can't quite figure out how to set the parameters of the returned function.
i.e. if I gave called make_a_new_function(('a','b','c','d')) the returned function would have four parameters: a, b, c and d.
I know that the function.__code__.co_varnames is stored as a tuple of strings, but it's a read-only value so I can't edit it.
Is what I'm wanting possible? Or am I going mad over impossible dreams?
EDIT: Turns out there was a good alternative by constructing a string of python syntax, then using eval() to call the expression.

A: With the aid of some people in the comments, I determined that the best way to do get what I was aiming for would be to construct the expression as a string. This could then be evaluated using the eval() function, as long as the string was syntactically correct.
def logic_AND_expression(*parameters)
    return ' and '.join(*parameters)

eval(logic_AND_expression('A','B','C','D'),{'A'=True,'B'=False,'C'=True,'D'=True})

False


We retrospectively evaluated SB (12-core sector) and TB among 103 AS men undergoing surveillance biopsy, 54 men undergoing confirmatory biopsy (CB), and 73 men referred for diagnostic biopsy (DB; comparison group). Regions of interest (ROIs) on mpMRI were assigned a PI-RADS score and targeted if the score was ≥3.
Detection of Gleason score (GS) ≥7 by TB and SB was the outcome of interest, except in a multivariable model, for which any cancer was the outcome.
GS ≥7was detected by either biopsy method in 25 men (24.3%) in the AS group, 12 men (22.2%) in the CB group, and 55 men (75.3%) in the DB group.GS ≥7 was found in 24.3% by SB + TB versus 20.4% by SB in the AS group (p=0.13); in 22.2% by SB + TB versus 16.7% by SB in the CB group (p=0.25); and in 75.3% by SB + TB versus 58.9% by SB in the DB group (p=0.002). The sensitivity for GS ≥7 detection was lower for TB than for SB (p=0.006) in the AS cohort (relative sensitivity ratio 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.71). Higher PI-RADS score (4 vs 3, odds ratio [OR] 2.00, p=0.04; 5 vs 3, OR 4.74, p=0.02), lower MRI-estimated prostate volume (OR 1.20 per 10-cm(3) lower volume, p=0.01), larger ROI (OR 1.04 per mm, p=0.02), and right-sided ROI (OR 2.27, p=0.01) were associated with finding cancer on TB. A potential limitation is that not all men who presented for biopsy underwent TB and the urologist was not blinded to MRI results before SB.
Owing to the low relative sensitivity of mpMRI for detection of GS ≥7 disease, SB still needs to be performed for men on AS.
This study suggests that image-guided prostate biopsy alone may not be informative for men enrolled in an active surveillance program for prostate cancer.

Q: MySQL Select find similar item that has stock I have this resultset of my table of products, while trying to return correct results in the last two columns, similar_sku_exists   and similar_sku_in_stock.
The goal is, to first determine whether a similar sku exists in the table and return yes/no.
second to determine if either one of the similar skus have stock and return that sku name/s.
A similar sku is defined by the same sku name + first letter of grade.
Eg, all instances of "ABC-11-A" will be similar as they bear the same condition of new. Likewise "ABC-11-B" will be similar in that they are all refurb condition.
id  sku            condition     grade   stock  similar_sku_exists  similar_sku_in_stock
1   ABC-11-A1      new           A1      0      yes                 ABC-11-A2
2   ABC-11-A2      new           A2      10     yes
3   ABC-11-B1      refurb        B1      10     yes
4   ABC-11-B2      refurb        B2      0      yes                 ABC-11-B1|ABC-11-B2-LP
5   ABC-11-B2-LP   refurb        B2-LP   10     yes
6   DEF-2-F-A1     new           A1      0      no
7   DEF-2-G-B1     refurb        B1      10     yes
8   DEF-2-G-B2     refurb        B2      0      yes                 DEF-2-G-B1

So far i have this query but that dosn'nt seem to return correct results
select
    id,
    sku,
    `condition`,
    grade,
    stock,
    case when left(p.sku, length(p.sku)-length(p.grade)+1)
            in (select left(p.sku, length(p.sku)-length(p.grade)+1))
         then 'yes' else 'no' end as similar_sku_exists,
    if(p.stock = 0,
         case when left(p.sku, length(p.sku)-length(p.grade)+1)
            in (select left(p.sku, length(p.sku)-length(p.grade)+1) and p.stock >0
         )
         then group_concat(distinct(p.sku) separator '|')
         else '' end,'') as similar_sku_in_stock

    from products as p

Much appreciated any tought

A: Here is a method to get the similar skus in stock:
select p.*,
       (select group_concat(p2.sku)
        from products p2
        where substring_index(p2.sku, '-', 1) = substring_index(p.sku, '-', 1) and
              left(subsctring_index(p2.sku, '-', -1), 1) = left(substring_index(p.sku, '-', -1), 1) and
              p2.sku <> p.sku and
              stock > 0
       ) similar_skus_in_stock
from products p;

A similar query can be used to determine if similar skus exist.


Have You Left Your School Nativity Play Until the Last Minute?
As December approaches, so too does the season of nativity plays – a tradition in schools throughout the country, and one that is great fun for pupils and members of the wider community who come to watch. However, if you've left the planning for your school nativity play until the last minute, don't worry – it's still not too late to put on a great show!
If you're looking into last minute Christmas play ideas, the sensible option is to get hold of some professionally written scripts and music. This will save you the hassle of having to start from scratch before you've even got to the point of considering casting and rehearsals.
When you're weighing up ideas for your Christmas play, there are a number of things to take into consideration. Firstly, depending on your local community and the cultures and backgrounds of your students, you will need to decide whether you are going for a traditional Christmas play or a secular one.
If your school is made up of a mixed faith or secular community, it might be best not to put on a traditional nativity play that focuses purely on Christian morality. On the other hand, a modern reinterpretation will help make the play more inclusive for all of your pupils and their parents.
However in a more traditional Christian community, then the nativity play in its traditional format would be suitable for the audience and those involved in the play. The decision should ultimately rest on which method would be the most inclusive of as many people as possible.
– Use a narrator – if you're really pushed for time when you're planning your nativity play, using a narrator (possibly an older child, or one who is an accomplished reader and speaker) will help to drive the story. The narrator could be incorporated into the play in the form of a character, or alternatively this role could be spread amongst a number of pupils. Allowing children with larger parts to read from a script will help cut down on rehearsal time.
– Practice – even though time is short, rearranging your teaching schedule and devoting some time to rehearse the play will make children feel more comfortable when it comes to the performance itself.
– Choose familiar songs – one way that you can make things easier is to use familiar Christmas songs and carols that your pupils are likely to know already. Of course, you could add in a few extra ones to keep things interesting; just remember that the fewer new songs they have to learn, the smoother your play will go.
– Plan your rehearsals – if time is short, it's important that you plan the rehearsals for your nativity play carefully so that you get the most out of the limited time you do have. Enlist the help of another teacher or a teaching assistant so that you can break parts down and work on different roles in small groups. Once each individual is comfortable with their part, bring everyone together to practice the performance as a group.
– Practise in the room in which the performance is to take place – this will help your pupils to get comfortable with their surroundings so that when the time comes to present the play to an audience, they will find it less daunting. You could also gradually increase the number of other people in the room as the play draws closer.

Making innovation real
SAP Africa, the African cluster of SAP SE, is helping companies to transform and grow through digital technologies that are easy to consume and are able to drive real business value
Tags: technology, south africa, sap leonardo, fourth industrial revolution
"As SAP, we believe that the intelligent enterprise is a powerful concept that can truly help transform the business of our customers, so they can serve their customers better. Our ambition is to provide our customers with a fully integrated suite of business applications, infused with intelligent technologies everywhere, and powered by our unrivalled data platform.
"We will double-down on our longstanding advantage in deep industry and line-of-business expertise. Seventy-six per cent of the world's transaction revenue touches an SAP system, and industry-leading customers all rely on SAP to help them optimise their business of today in addition to re-imagining their business of tomorrow," explains Rudeon Snell, SAP's Leonardo Leader for Africa.
Their partner ecosystem is world class, with thousands of partners who can assist in bringing intelligent solutions to their customers that help them move their business forward.
Then, there's their global reach, with over 350 000 customers in 180 different countries.
"We see how things work across different countries; they work differently in Japan versus the US versus China versus Brazil versus South Africa. Those differences matter, that experience we bring to our customers, matters.
"Every day, we hear from customers that the intelligent enterprise is most relevant for them in a context that is specific and true to their unique aspirations, their key strategic goals and objectives and their particular challenges across both industry and line-of-business dimensions. As such, we will bring the intelligent enterprise to life by building solutions that bring together the best of SAP and providing those solutions to our customers, to help them achieve more," he says.
Inspired by arguably the greatest thinker of our time, Leonardo Da Vinci, at its heart, SAP Leonardo centres around how SAP makes innovation real.
"When you think about design thinking as a means of eliciting business outcomes or envisaging the art of what is possible, and you consider how you use exponential technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of things, big data, advanced analytics and blockchain to realise those outcomes, all powered by the cloud; that's the essence of SAP Leonardo.
"It allows organisations to innovate faster with less risk, accelerating the delivery of business value and providing a frame of reference for organisations wanting to get started with exponential technologies, but are not sure how to," Snell says.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and artificial intelligence (AI)
We are in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and there are great fears that robotics and AI will take away many jobs, especially within developing economies.
Snell says that job displacement in the short term, as a result of technological advancement, is inevitable.
"History has clearly showcased this, whether it's the displacement of farmers when the tractor was invented or the displacement of telephone switchboard operators to name but a few. More recently, we are seeing toll collectors, cashiers and train-ticket sellers and long haul truck drivers all coming under threat from technology. This is just the beginning," he says.
He adds that if this situation is not proactively addressed, we will see an increase in the gap between the haves and have nots and quite possibly one of the biggest socio-economic disasters ever created, especially in developing countries where 70% – 80% of the economy is still predominantly supported by blue-collar jobs.
"The government and industry must get together to address this through structured programmes and individuals need to rethink their own value proposition, skills and expertise to ensure their value-add and marketability in an AI-first world. This is where SAP took the lead by becoming the first European tech company to create an ethics advisory panel for AI. This panel would allow SAP to ensure the creation of ethical AI, which serves humanity and benefits society," says Snell.
Considering the AI influence, Snell believes that the children and students of today require a different education in order to keep up with the times. "Our current education system is broken and is simply not equipped nor prepared for the coming wave of technological change. It was primarily designed and geared for developing skills that are relevant in the industrial age. Skills that are still focused on today as a result of this system aims to improve primarily on reading, writing and arithmetic, which were all critical in the Industrial Age, but which are being more easily replaced by AI today," he explains.
Snell believes the quality of education is simply not evolving at the same pace as technology is. As such, there is a deep need to revamp and re-imagine our current educational system, otherwise we quite possibly run the risk of creating a permanent underclass with irrelevant educational skills—something that, it could be argued, is already happening to a certain degree, given the inequalities of public and private education funding in developing countries.
"Educational institutions will need to focus on teaching students more relevant, dated skills to improve employability, especially skills related to working with robotics, AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and other exponential technologies.
"Today, those who have conquered computers have given themselves a much greater chance of employability. Tomorrow, the same can very well be true as it pertains to exponential technologies," he explains.
With AI coming in at some speed, necessity will force employees to adapt.
"One thing we are good at as a species is adapting to change. It will require a reinvention of people and their value-add in the age of AI. Employees will have to reconsider their skills, expertise and value proposition in order to remain relevant and dated," Snell says.
With regard to the biggest digital enhancements, he says they are very excited about those we are seeing in terms of the exponential technologies synergising in industries, such as healthcare, retail and consumer goods, transportation, manufacturing, financial services and agriculture, which are completely transforming business models and accelerating business value creation.
"Companies that are able to leverage the convergence of these exponential technologies successfully will be the ones that are ideally positioned to carve out new markets and new spaces of value as they reinvent themselves. By reimagining customer experiences, transforming products and services, optimising their operations and redefining employee productivity, these companies are the ones that will have the power to shape and change the world," he says.
The Leonardo Leader
Originally from Cape Town, Rudeon Snell made a career move to Johannesburg in 2010. He planned on staying, for only two years—that was nine years ago.
"I love the cosmopolitan nature of Johannesburg, the cultural diversity, the energy and the pace. Jozi really has become home for us as a family," he says.
Snell holds a Master's degree in IT as well as an MBA specialising in strategy and is currently completing a doctorate specialising in AI.
"I've always had a love and passion for technology and the way it can act as a resource-liberating mechanism, especially for developing countries. I believe technology is the key vehicle for driving positive, transformational change, equipping us with the necessary tools to tackle humanity's grand challenges," he says.
Snell says that some of the most crucial leadership lessons he has learnt during the course of his career are that authenticity matters, it's important to be clear and consistent, learning beats knowing, always put people before money and hunt as a pack.
In terms of leadership, Snell believes it is not about rank or power, nor is it about being in charge. "Having authority doesn't make you a leader. There are people with no authority who are exceptional leaders.
"Leadership is ultimately about taking care of those in your charge. Great leaders create circles of safety for their teams so that they are inspired to come to work every morning, do deeply meaningful work that matters and leave the office feeling fulfilled as they go home to their families.
"As a leader, your focus should be on ensuring crystal clarity on the direction you have set, allowing your teams to figure out how to get there, generating the energy that inspires optimism, creativity, and growth and delivering success that leaves the organisation stronger tomorrow than today," he concludes.
