Download an introduction to NRGI. Read NRGI's End-of-Year Review 2021.
We envision a world where natural resources enable fair, prosperous and sustainable societies, instead of undermining them.
NRGI exists because decisions about how natural resources are governed determine the wellbeing of people in resource-rich countries, and of the planet.
We support informed, inclusive decision-making about natural resources and the energy transition.
We partner with reformers in government and civil society to design and implement just policies based on evidence and the priorities of citizens in resource-rich developing countries.
We seek to address power imbalances, both nationally and globally. Our approach accounts for political realities, and advances equity in voice, influence and access to information.
Our independent, non-profit organization provides policy advice and advocacy infused with lessons learned in the field and with insights developed through rigorous research. We share our knowledge and experience freely with policy-makers, accountability actors, and the global campaign for improved international norms. We are particularly well-placed to convene reform-oriented dialogue and to engage in constructive policy advocacy.
We are presently deepening our efforts in a select number of priority countries, focusing on the energy transition and critical aspects of the natural resource decision chain, based on country needs and demand. Evaluations of our work show that we have greater impact if we engage with diverse change agents across the decision chain in fewer countries, rather than with limited interventions across many countries. We are concentrating our financial and human resources more strategically in high-impact programs in particular countries, and we also engage in global issues related to governance in natural resources.
We embrace multi-stakeholder approaches and remained focused on our core competencies, such as the measurement and assessment of natural resource governance, drawing on our signature initiatives like the Resource Governance Index and the Natural Resource Charter. At the country level we provide training, technical assistance and support on how to deliver transparency and accountability, including through implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, and the use of data; strengthening fiscal systems; reform of state-owned enterprises; and improvements in the management of resource revenues. We also promote the uptake of global norms of transparency and governance. We seek to produce measurable change in the direction of more effective and more open management of natural resources.
NRGI's work is funded by philanthropic organizations and national governments. We have registered offices in Accra, Beirut, Dar es Salaam, Lima, London, New York, and Washington, D.C., and further staff presence in Bolivia, Cameroon, Canada, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda.
We invite people of all identities, including those from marginalized groups, to come together in support of our mission. We strive for an NRGI where staff can be themselves at work, feel that they belong, and are equipped to succeed. Achieving meaningful diversity, equity and inclusion—together—is among our highest priorities.

RELEASE PROMOTIONS: Shrinking Violet by Jessica Prince
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
Forgiveness. From the time we're old enough to understand the word, we're taught to forgive those who wrong us, so what do you do when the one person you can't forgive is yourself? For Cassidy Ashworth, it's a question that haunts her. Forgiveness has become a foreign concept. Self-loathing is something she's much more familiar with. Convinced that she doesn't deserve happiness, Cassidy is determined to spend every day trying to make up for the wrong she's done. But no amount of repenting for the past will ever convince her that she's worthy of a future with Carson Langford. Raised in the foster system, Carson has always been a throwaway kid. He knows firsthand just how cruel life can be, how easy it is for people to prey on the weak, and there's nothing Carson detests more than a bully. So focused on his self-imposed role of protector, he never counted on the beautiful blonde with the haunted eyes to stumble into his life and shake up his world. Despite her reluctance, Carson is determined to have Cassidy in his life, but once the truth of her past comes to light, the question is…will he still want to keep her?

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That's why God created central air, after all. In addition to being a wife and mom, she's also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books--romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it's a passion...there's a difference. Not that she'd expect a boy to understand. Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Speech by Minister Chan Chun Sing at the Official Opening of PlanetSpark Innovation Centre
Chairman and Group CEO of Excelpoint Technology, Mr Albert Phuay,
Managing Director of PlanetSpark, Ms Phuay Li Ying,
Distinguished guests,
1	Good morning
2	First, let me congratulate Excelpoint Technology on the official opening of PlanetSpark Innovation Centre.
3	For the past 33 years, Excelpoint Technology has played a vital role in Singapore's electronics manufacturing supply chain by providing engineering design services and supply chain management solutions in the Asia Pacific region.
a.	Their continual investments into research and development have helped them to develop a robust Quality and Standards infrastructure, and given the company a strong competitive advantage to support the technology manufacturing supply chain in over 40 cities around the world.
b.	The opening of PlanetSpark Innovation Centre is yet another step forward in the company's journey.
i.	It will enable Excelpoint to move beyond trading and distribution to capture new opportunities with innovative solutions.
ii.	As technological developments are changing how we trade, Excelpoint's commitment to work with partners to strengthen technical capabilities positions it well for the future.
4	The opening of the PlanetSpark Innovation Centre is also timely. It complements our efforts in Singapore to address two key emerging global trends:
a.	First, transformations in the electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors; and
b.	Second, the growing need to enhance our supply chain resilience;
5	Let me elaborate further.
First, transformations in the electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors.
6 Today, electronics is a key sector in Singapore's economy.
a.	In 2019, Singapore exported more than US$84 billion worth of electronic components, which is approximately 10% of global electronics exports.
b.	As a global trading hub for electronics components, Singapore is a key node in the global supply chain for products ranging from semiconductors, storage and memory products to microelectromechanical systems.
c.	We enjoy the presence of major brand products, some of the world's biggest pure-play foundries, as well as top global component distributors in Singapore. These distributors and manufacturers are supported by a rich ecosystem of leading materials and equipment, and electronics manufacturing services players.
d.	Despite COVID-19, we remain optimistic about the electronics distribution industry.
7	The nature of manufacturing is also undergoing a transformative change, propelled by artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and huge amounts of computational power.
a.	For example, the global IoT industry, which was valued at US$151 billion in 2018, is forecasted to grow to US$1.6 trillion by 2025.
b.	Overall IoT adoption within ASEAN is expected to be even greater than global averages due to the growth of Smart Cities and Industry 4.0 efforts.
8	With COVID-19 accelerating digitalisation trends, we have seen a growing demand for hardware innovations.
a.	The digitalisation momentum will continue as firms seek to overcome manpower shortage and mitigate against future supply chain disruptions.
b.	The competitiveness of our electronics and manufacturing sector will depend on the speed at which we can innovate our products and production systems with technologies such as AI and IoT.
9	This is where initiatives such as the PlanetSpark Innovation Centre will significantly enhance the competitiveness of Singapore's electronics and advanced manufacturing sector.
a.	Developed in collaboration with Enterprise Singapore, PlanetSpark is the first of its kind in Singapore that will nurture Singapore-grown hardware and technology startups and SMEs in the AI and IoT sector. As a hardware accelerator platform, PlanetSpark will catalyse their product development and innovations.
i.	For example, through PlanetSpark, companies can accelerate their product development journey and deliver a proof-of-concept within 6 months.
b.	PlanetSpark will also connect start-ups to a network of key semiconductor partners and manufacturers such as Analog Devices, Xilinx, Qualcomm, NXP and more. Through these partnerships, startups can access expertise and tools to build demand-driven applications for better commercialisation opportunities both locally and internationally.
c.	Additionally, PlanetSpark will also have a panel of mentors from the private and public sectors to share expertise and experience. It will also establish partnerships with venture capital firms to provide the necessary funding to grow high potential startups.
d.	In addition, Startups and SMEs can also work with PlanetSpark for market access, via Excelpoint's distribution network. Excelpoint will also provide deep channel networks to collect market intelligence and commercialise products that are relevant to the marketplace.
10	The opening of PlanetSpark complements our efforts to grow the electronics industry, and develop Singapore as a resilient base for advanced manufacturers in the region.
a.	As we are planning to transit Singapore's manufacturing sector to advanced manufacturing in the future, we have made advanced manufacturing a core focus of Singapore's R&D efforts, and a prominent part of our Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2025 plans.
b.	The Singapore government has also developed the Electronics Industry Transformation Map (ITM) to grow the sector, boost the electronics value chain, and deliver innovative digital technologies and electronics components.
11	We are confident that if we continue to invest and build up our companies' capabilities in these sectors, Singapore will be able to stand out as an electronics and advanced manufacturing hub in the region and globally.
Second, the need to enhance supply chain resilience to keep our trade links open
12	Over the last year, we have seen how natural causes and COVID-19 can disrupt our supply chains. These were compounded by man-made factors such as export restrictions.
a.	This has led countries around the world to seriously examine how to ensure their countries' supply chain resilience.
13	As a trading hub, Singapore believes that it is important to stay connected to the world and keep our trade links open. This will provide certainty and assurance that critical supplies would not be disrupted, ensuring that supply chains continue to work even in times of crisis.
a.	For example, amidst COVID-19 supply chain disruptions, Singapore worked with like-minded countries including Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Japan and India to ensure essential supplies continued to flow without tariff, quota or trade restrictions.
b.	We also ensured that our seaport and airport continued to operate; and maintained flights to key global cities and hubs to ensure the flow of essential supplies, including electronics, were not disrupted.
14	To enhance Singapore's supply chain resilience, we are also looking to boost local production to strengthen our supply chain across our portfolio of needs.
15	Within the global manufacturing sector, there has been an increased premium on resilience as companies rethink their production and supply chains.
a.	For example, in the semiconductors space, there has been stronger impetus for the reshoring, regionalisation and diversification of production bases and supply chains partly due to geopolitical tensions.
b.	While Southeast Asia and Singapore are in a good position to capture part of this reconfiguration of supply chains, we must demonstrate our ability to keep pace with innovations and remain competitive to do so.
16	However, we cannot do this alone. We look forward partnering with our Singapore companies to drive the growth and development of the sector through continued innovation.
a.	Excelpoint is a good example of a company that has continued to innovate, evolving from a pure distribution model to a distributor with value-added services in order to remain competitive.
i.	I encourage distributors of electronics and adjacent verticals within the wholesale trade sector to take similar steps, as what Excelpoint has done, and chart new paths of growth through innovation.
b.	We also need our local hardware technology startups to continually innovate and develop new technologies, participate in our overall growth and boost the resilience of our manufacturing sector.
c.	Only then will we be able to successfully capture the new economic opportunities brought about by technological innovations such as AI and IoT.
17	Today's launch anchors two innovation centres within Changi Business Park. Kajima's first Asia Pacific headquarters and overseas innovation centre was also set up here recently. Having more innovators in the estate's ecosystem will catalyse new innovations and more partnerships between companies.
a.	We encourage more Singapore start-ups and SMEs to leverage such innovation centres through the Partnerships for Capability Transformation, otherwise known as the PACT programme.
b.	The PACT programme was recently enhanced to encourage partnerships among large enterprises, startups and SMEs.
c.	By working together, companies can share resources, drive innovation and enable market access.
18	In the longer-term, these technology innovations can augment Singapore's technology capabilities and even be marketed overseas.
a.	For example, our innovations can be exported through a wide network of existing free trade agreements that we have developed with 65 trading partners, as well as the newer Digital Economy Agreements we have pioneered with like-minded trading partners to set new rules for digital trade flows.
19	Much of Singapore's economic success has been founded on our ability to identify global trends, adapt to evolving situations and seize upon opportunities.
20	The PlanetSpark Innovation Centre will contribute to Singapore's ecosystem in developing the electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors, and to strengthen the resilience of our supply chains.
21	The story of Excelpoint is also the story of Singapore's electronics and advanced manufacturing sector.
a.	We started as a distributor doing arbitrage, where we tried to buy cheap and sell high to make the margins. We then started producing some parts ourselves and became a production centre for others. Over time, we developed our own products where we broke new ground, beyond just distribution and production for others. That is why the PlanetSpark Innovation Centre is important.
22	Going forward, it is not enough to just engage in arbitrage or production for others. If we do not have our own products, Intellectual Property (IP) and value add services, it will be difficult to survive the harsh competition.
a.	Today, many distributors are being disintermediated and the role of pure arbitrage, without value-add, will be gone.
b.	If we neither have IP nor value-add, we will be displaced by others. But with these, we will be able to transcend and make full use of AI and IoT technology to provide value-add services and innovative products to distinguish our manufacturing sector. Only then will we be able to entrench ourselves in the global value chain.
23	In investments today, we are no longer looking at just the money or jobs created. Instead, we examine how the new investments entrench us in the global supply chain so that we will not be easily bypassed by others. That is what we need to do in our advanced manufacturing sector.
24	Congratulations once again to PlanetSpark Innovation Centre. I wish you every success.

Q: How to execute QML slot from C++ without a signal? I got a QML object in the QObject shape. With ->setProperty(..., ...) I can change properties, but how can I execute slots without signals?
Currently I declare a signal in my C++ class:
signals:
  void testSignal();

and signal/slot in QML object:
signal executeTestFunc(); onExecuteTestFunc: {
  testAnimation.start();
}

Then I connect these two:
QObject::connect(this, SIGNAL(testSignal()),
                 QmlObject, SIGNAL(executeTestFunc()));

But this is not clean, as I can see:

*

*De facto this is strange SIGNAL/SIGNAL connection.

*I do not want to use SIGNAL/SLOT mechanism, unless I have to, due to performance and long code.

Is there a way to execute QML onExecuteTestFunc(); from QObject directly?

A: You can create a C++ class that will emit a signal. That signal will be caught in QML. No explicit connection with SIGNAL/SLOT is needed. Example:
C++:
class Presenter : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit Presenter()
    {
        QTimer *timer = new QTimer();
        timer->setInterval(500);
        connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout,
                this, &Presenter::timeout);
        timer->start();
    }

    Q_SIGNAL void timeout();
};

QML:
Window {
    ...
    Presenter {
        onTimeout: {
            console.log("called from c++")
        }
    }
}

Result:
qml: called from c++
qml: called from c++
qml: called from c++
qml: called from c++
...

A: @Thomenson has already given a good answer on how you can connect to a signal from C++ and act on it in QML. His solution works if you can create the C++ from QML, which may not always be the case.
Connections element
There are two other options you might consider. First, if you have an object that was not created from QML but was put into it in some other way (QML context, static object, returned from an invokable...) you may use the Connections element:
Connections {
    target: theObjectWithTheSignal
    onSignalName: {doSomething();}
}

This is a flexible way to react to signals from object that you did not create in QML, or even objects that were created elsewhere in QML.
Callback using JSValue
If you really insist on avoiding signal/slot (though I don't understand why; Qt and QML are build around it and trying to avoid it is fighting against the framework instead of using its strenghts), there is another way. You can, on the C++ object that is exposed to QML, create a property of type QJSValue. Then, in C++ on setting, check that whatever was set is callable (using QJSValue::isCallable()). Then as the point you wish to trigger whatever you want to execute in your QML, call it using QJSValue::call.
On the QML side, you can simply assign or bind something callable, just like you'd do for a signal handler.
Anti pattern: QMetaObject::invokeMethod
There is another way, which I will only include as a warning against an anti-pattern. You can call into the QML from C++ using Qt's introspection mechanism. You can find an object by it's set objectName and call any (invokable) method on it using QMetaObject::invokeMethod, read and write any property and listen to all signals. That includes calling methods you defined in QML. Using this, you can manipulate your QML from your C++. Don't do this. It leads to inflexible and unmaintainable code.

Mid-stream operation is the operation of loading and unloading cargo containers at the container ship while at sea, with barges or dumb steel lighters performing the transfer, distribution or landing of containers to piers nearby.

Although mid-stream operation has the significant advantage of low costs, it has been criticized for its dangerous operation where cargoes are transferred between two ships on sea, which make it very difficult to operate.

Hong Kong operations
Mid-stream operation has been abandoned almost everywhere except Hong Kong, where land is insufficient and the fees for using the container pier are quite high. In Hong Kong, mid-stream operations occur at 12 different locations occupying a total land area of 34.6 hectares and water frontage of 3,513 metres.

Operators include:
 Fat Kee Stevedores Ltd.
 Tai Wah Sea/Land Heavy Transportation Ltd.
 Transward Ltd.

SEO Practices in 2000 vs. SEO in 2020: What's the Same and What's Different
By Rob SandersLast updated on Oct 27, 2020
Back in the year 2000, the landscape for search engine optimization (SEO, for short) was very, very different than it is today. It was a bit like operating in the Wild West: there weren't many rules, and the outcomes weren't always admirable. Fast forward to 2020, and the experience is more sophisticated, the expectations greater, and the stakes higher.
Yet, even with all the differences between SEO practices in 2000 and 2020, there are some standards that survived. Let's time travel a bit to look back on where – and what – the past 20 years have brought to those of us working in the industry and those we serve.
The Changing SEO Environment
It's a bit shocking to look back on how we approached optimization for search engines in the early 2000s. Sure, we had loose guidelines on what to do, but it certainly felt like they were suggestions more than anything – especially compared to the current protocol.
Here's an interesting comparison of some of the standard practices from then and now:
Back in ye olden days, before keyword research was in play, SEO professionals would simply choose keywords that seemed to make sense for a website page and repeat them over and over. This is known as keyword stuffing, and today it would actually harm the ranking of your web page.
Image caption: SEO in 2000: Keyword stuffing was all the rage. (Image source: seopressor)
Nowadays, keyword research is an important step in choosing our keywords. It helps us understand what types of search queries are happening and how often, as well as the competition we're up against if we target those queries. In other words, it helps us map our content with the most relevant keywords that give us the best chance for ranking in search engines.
For example, "best laptops" has a high volume of monthly searches, but it also has a high level of competition, so it could be difficult to rank well for that keyword. Your content also may not match the search intent for that keyword.
As far as keyword stuffing in your SEO practices, it's a no-no. Instead, industry professionals know to use keywords more responsibly where they're a natural fit. Of course, there are strategic locations and approaches to placing keywords on a website page, but it can be done without going over the top.
If we look back on the metadata (think title tags and description tags) we wrote two decades ago, we would definitely see a trend: more real estate.
In 2000, you had 70 roomy characters to write your title tag, which is the first line of text that displays for your page in search results. Today, best practice is 55 characters or less (and some even recommend keeping it less than 50). That's because search engine results pages are accommodating way more than content, including ads, featured snippets, rich snippets, knowledge panels, shopping, and more.
In this recent search, the first organic result doesn't even display until just above the fold. (Source: Google Search)
As for meta description tags (the longer text that displays under your title tag in search results, that describes what the page is about), I remember writing more than 200 characters of text in those early days. Today, the recommended length is less than 165 characters, with some even recommending less than 155. Again, the reason is simply less space in search engine results.
Master many facets of SEO including keyword research, technical SEO, link building, analytics, with the Search Engine Optimization training course.
Content Length
While content length has been debated as long as I've been working in SEO, back in 2000 the recommendation was 200-300 words. Nowadays, that hardly seems like enough room to get warmed up.
Long-form content with 2,000 words or more correlates to higher rankings, according to articles like this one. But that doesn't mean shorter content doesn't rank high. Just look at my own article in the number 3 spot for organic listings; it's a 296-word article.
Even if it's shorter in length, well-optimized content can rank high in search. (Source: Google Search)
More Recent Updates to SEO Practices in 2020
One of the major differences between SEO practices in 2000 and 2020 is the number of potential ranking factors, which now number in the hundreds. It makes 2000 seem like a simpler time.
Among the more recent changes is Google's Page Experience Update, which includes the user experience as a ranking factor. Set to begin in 2021, this update further solidifies Google's commitment to user satisfaction, which they have introduced in previous announcements about:
Page load speed
Security features like https
Privacy pages
Some Things Never Change
While the differences in past and present SEO practices are vast and wide (and too many to cover in a single blog post), there are some standards that have remained throughout this time.
PageRank: Google's way of measuring the importance of a web page, still going strong
Inbound links: Links coming from relevant, quality, third-party websites to your site
User Importance: Google's commitment to improving results they show to users

We're very happy to introduce our new site redesign on November 15, 2013. We utilized a very capable local Boise Web development firm, BaseCamp Interactive. The owner and site developer, Mark Hair, was a pleasure to work with and we will continue to work with him on site marketing and maintenance. We recommend Mark and his company highly, especially for his target market—professional service firms—as well as blog and content oriented sites. BaseCamp Interactive specializes in Web strategy, development, and marketing, and uses both ExpressionEngine CMS and WordPress for self-managed and authored sites.
My experience is in the area of trial practice. I have appeared in the Idaho Court of Appeals, the Idaho Supreme Court, and the Federal District Court for Idaho for more than twenty five years. Trial practice includes, criminal law, personal injury and civil litigation including probate matters and real estate. Personal injury cases include wrongful death, victims of auto accidents and drunk driving, pharmaceutical cases, and class action litigation.


Mark Lynas was one of the original GM field wreckers. Back in the 1990s he would descend on trial sites of genetically modified crops at night and hack them to pieces. Two decades later, most people around the world – from New York to China – still think that GMO foods are bad for their health or likely to damage the environment.
But Mark has changed his mind. In 2013, in a world-famous recantation speech, Mark apologised for having destroyed GM crops. He spent the subsequent years touring Africa and Asia, and working with plant scientists who are using this technology to help smallholder farmers in developing countries cope better with pests, diseases and droughts.
His book lifts the lid on the anti-GMO craze and shows how science was left by the wayside as a wave of public hysteria swept the world.

A: I gave all the divs with dates a transdate class:

const container = document.querySelector("#translist");
Array.from(container.querySelectorAll(".transitem"))//trans items
.map(
  div=>[
    new Date(div.querySelector(".transdate").innerHTML.trim()).getTime(),//parse date
    div//the div containing the data item (transitem)
  ]
)
.sort(([a],[b])=>a-b)//sort by date
.forEach(
  ([x,div])=>container.appendChild(div)//append to container (will move it)
);

A: logic

*

*extract data from translist (extract the DOM node of each transitem and the date string)
var data = [];
document.querySelectorAll('#translist .transitem')
    .forEach((dom_node)=>{
        var date_string = dom_node.querySelector('.transcat').innerHTML;
        var data_object = { // create a data object
            "node" : dom_node, // store the dom node
            "date" : date_string, // store the date string
        }
        data.push(data_object); // add this data_object to the data array
    })

*

*We store the date_string so we can sort the elements

*We store the dom_node so we can manipulate the order of that element in the #translist element

*sort the list
data.sort((a, b)=>{
     var a_date_int = new Date(a.date_string);
     var b_date_int = new Date(b.date_string);
     return a_date_int - b_date_int; // if a is older, it will have a lower index
 })

*re-append each element, in order of sorting. the elements will simply change order (not duplicated) since a node can not be in two places at once
var dom_parent = document.querySelector('#translist');
data.forEach((data_object)=>{
    var dom_node = data_object.dom_node;
    dom_parent.appendChild(dom_node);
})

all together
    var data = [];
    document.querySelectorAll('#translist .transitem')
        .forEach((dom_node)=>{
            var date_string = dom_node.querySelector('.transcat').innerHTML;
            var data_object = { // create a data object
                "node" : dom_node, // store the dom node
                "date" : date_string, // store the date string
            }
            data.push(data_object); // add this data_object to the data array
        })

    data.sort((a, b)=>{
         var a_date_int = new Date(a.date_string);
         var b_date_int = new Date(b.date_string);
         return a_date_int - b_date_int; // if a is older, it will have a lower index
     })

    var dom_parent = document.querySelector('#translist');
    data.forEach((data_object)=>{
        var dom_node = data_object.dom_node;
        dom_parent.appendChild(dom_node);
    })

A: since the children doesn't have the same class names, extract the elements in an array, sort it by date and recreate the child nodes with their previous attributes and values so you don't loose the classes ( i added colors to them in the snippet ), then reappend them to the container :

// create a list of objects containing the children's values and sort it
const dates = [...document.querySelectorAll('.transitem')].map(e => {
  return {
    id: e.id,
    name: e.childNodes[1].innerHTML,
    date: e.childNodes[3].innerHTML,
    className: e.childNodes[3].classList[0]
  }
}).sort((a, b) => new Date(a.date) - new Date(b.date));

const transList = document.querySelector('#translist');

//empty the container
transList.innerHTML = '';

// loop throught the object list, recreate the children and append then
dates.forEach(e => {
  const div = document.createElement("div")
  div.id = e.id
  div.classList.add('transitem')

  let child = document.createElement("div")
  child.innerHTML = e.name
  child.classList.add('transname')

  div.appendChild(child)

  child = document.createElement("div")
  child.innerHTML = e.date
  child.classList.add(e.className)

  div.appendChild(child)

  transList.appendChild(div)
});
.transcat{
  color : green;
}

.transdate{
  color: blue;
}

Although most respectable members of our parishes try to look healthy and content in public, mental illness is as common and invisible among the faithful as it is in secular circles. I would wager that mental health issues are especially prevalent among the devout who are serious about their inner life; when people tackle deep inner issues which prevent God from working in their lives, their inner equilibrium is upset by stress, anxiety, and depression.
This probably explains why most saints experienced profound periods of depression when they finally looked beneath their pious actions to face the reality of their own ingrained sin and subsequent need for inner purification.
God offers His children the means to become free from sin, bad habits and mental illness through the Church, prayer, confession but also through therapy. Let's bring mental illness out of the shadows of shame and into the Light of Christ.

A contractor recently poured the concrete for the patio that is being created near the cafeteria exit. The patio is one of our PTC gifts of this school year.
Also as a gift to the school, the PTC purchased two more picnic tables to go along with the two similar items that were given to the school by the sixth grade class of last year. We would also like to thank Mark Rubin, parent of Andy-sixth grade and Corrie-fourth grade, who works at Central Hardware and assisted us with the purchase of the tables from that company.
Our guidance counselor, Bennet Oswald, worked during the past two weekends with Todd, his 14 year old son, to coat the two new tables with an oil stain and to give all four tables a coat of polyurethane seal.
We very much appreciate the assistance of the individuals and groups listed above in creating the patio area for our school. Hopefully it will be utilized and enjoyed by many people for years to come!

Back in 2017, cryptocurrency mining became a trend that combined computer hardware and finance into what looked to be the true form of currency for the digital age. Many groups and companies were formed, all to "mine" different kinds of these electronic currencies, with bitcoin being the most popular. A lot of industries tried to ease their way into the trend, with cafes and restaurants even setting up payment options via bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
How did you mine for bitcoin? Well, the short of it is you use the processor in your video card to compute for solutions to a finite number of digitally-generated equations. Don't worry about the math, you won't need to learn it because it's your GPU that's doing all the solving anyway. After it has solved an equation, or is part of the group of GPUs that solved the equation, your account is awarded with a portion of a bitcoin. The process repeats and that's how bitcoin is mined. This led to a mining craze, with an actual shortage of video cards available to mainstream consumers and drove up the prices of computer hardware, with GPUs and RAM chips experiencing the most price gain.
But that feverish race to mine the most bitcoin has subsided somewhat, and the speculation market has since quieted down. Has the cryptocurrency bubble popped? Some would say yes, but there are others who still have a possible way even for gamers to passively gain income from this virtual currency.
ASUS has announced its partnership with Quantumcloud, a startup company specializing in cloud-based computing and cryptocurrency mining. Quantumcloud is an app that helps its customers mine cryptocurrency via their video cards, is safe, and relatively easy to use. ASUS brings its heavyweight graphics cards to this team-up, ensuring the best possible components and enjoys a high number of users.
People who buy ASUS graphics cards can access the Quantumcloud app and basically have their GPU mine as they use it or they also have the possibility of others use their video card to mine. When it comes to mining, the more GPUs working in conjunction, the more BitCoin or currency they can collect. Thanks to cloud computing, linking multiple cards together despite physical distance is possible. NVIDIA had released a similar service in 2017 called GeForce NOW, which enabled users with low-end PCs to be able to game on better graphics cards via access to NVIDIA's cloud servers. In a way, you use the cloud to connect your PC to an NVIDIA GeForce 1080 (at the time of announcement, the best GPU the company had) and play games without latency.
For safety, Quantumcloud offers secure transactions via PayPal or WeChat, and has the strictest General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance protection for all user data. To simplify the user experience, digital wallet management, cryptocurrency mining mix, currency conversions, and fiat transfers are all integrated into the back-end of the Quantumcloud software.
There's no actual word on when ASUS will be deploying this service, or if there are perks for buying "ASUSxQuantumcloud"-branded video cards if ever, but if users do get on-board with the idea of idle mining through the cloud, this could spell the more conservative return of cryptocurrency mining and may open the phenomenon to more people.
Do note that cryptomining is not a simple task. Please do observe due dilligence and do extensive research about this topic before engaging in it for yourself.

Suspect Stem Cell Treatments Touted for Knee Arthritis
Laird Harrison
NEW ORLEANS — Hundreds of clinics in the United States are selling stem cell treatments for knee osteoarthritis without solid evidence of their claims, researchers warn.
"People's expectations have gotten ahead of the science," said investigator George Muschler, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic, and orthopedic surgeons must be prepared to help their patients evaluate these claims.
"The quality of the literature is relatively sparse," he told Medscape Medical News.
In a previous study that Muschler was involved in, investigators conducted a systematic review of stem cell treatments for knee osteoarthritis and focal cartilage defects of the knee, and found only four randomized controlled trials and two well-designed controlled trials without randomization (J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2016;98:1511-1521). The other 420 reports they identified were not well-designed trials. Although the results from the six trials were positive, the placebo effect could not be discounted, the team concludes.
This has not, however, stopped clinics from offering these treatments.
Muschler and his colleagues examined the current market for stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis, and presented their results here at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2018 Annual Meeting. The findings were previously published online (J Knee Surg. Published online July 24, 2017).
From October 28, 2016 to January 28, 2017, one of Muschler's colleagues contacted 273 of 317 clinics that offer stem cell treatments for orthopedic conditions that had previously been identified (Cell Stem Cell. 2016;19:154-157).
Using phone or email, he presented himself as a 57-year-old patient with moderate right knee osteoarthritis, and reported a score of 6 on a 10 cm visual analog pain scale.
This "simulated patient" told clinic personnel that he had seen other orthopedic professionals who offered him pain medication and corticosteroids and told him that he would eventually need a knee replacement. He then asked how well the stem cell treatments would work for his complaint, and what the treatments would cost.
At the 65 centers that provided pricing information for a same-day stem cell unilateral knee injection, the mean cost was $5156, but prices ranged widely — from $1150 to $12,000. Muschler and his colleagues interpreted this to mean that the prices were not related to fixed costs, but rather to the amount that the clinics wanted to charge for their labor.
Insurance companies do not reimburse for these unproven treatments, so some patients could be paying more for the treatment than for a total knee replacement, the team pointed out.
Of the 36 centers that provided information on clinical efficacy, the proportion reporting "good results" or "symptomatic improvements" ranged from 55% to 100% (mean, 82.2%).
Table. Effectiveness of the Treatment Reported by 36 Clinics
Reported Success Rate
Number of Clinics
90%–100% 10
80%–90% 15
55% or more 1
It is possible that responsible clinics surveyed did not want to report success rates or pricing to the simulated patient until he could be evaluated in person. However, it is also possible that clinics wanted the patient to visit so they could deliver a marketing pitch, the researchers explained.
In a related study, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic presented an assessment of social media reports of stem cell treatments for musculoskeletal treatments (Cytotherapy. 2017;19:1392-1399).
Although 94% of posts were positive in tone, most were from businesses advertising their services. Of the messages posted by patients, 60% were positive and 40% were negative. A 60% success rate is about what would be expected from the placebo effect alone, explained Muschler, who was also involved in this study.
Most of the practitioners offering the treatments appear to have a background in anesthesiology or rehabilitation, not orthopedics, he added.
Under US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, human cell and tissue products must be minimally manipulated; intended for homologous use only; not combined with another article, such as a drug; and have a systemic effect from the metabolic activity of the living cells.
Because cultivating cell lines is more than minimal manipulation, clinics cannot legally create large amounts of stem cells for injection.
"Stem Cell Treatment" a Misnomer
Instead, most are extracting blood or bone marrow aspirate — often from the patient being treated — using centrifuges to concentrate the cells, and then injecting them into the patient, Muschler explained. But only a tiny proportion of the cells concentrated in this way are actual stem cells that are capable of differentiating themselves into cartilage. So it is actually misleading to refer to these treatments as stem cell treatments, Muschler said.
That does not mean that such products do not have benefits, said Nicolas Piuzzi, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic, who was involved in both the studies presented. But the benefits are more likely to be derived from other effects, such as anti-inflammation, than from the repair of damaged cartilage. "It's not what we think about as the primary function of stem cells," he said.
Piuzzi explained that his own laboratory offers these treatments for knee osteoarthritis. However, it does not exaggerate the evidence for efficacy. It measures outcomes, attempts to profile the cells involved, studies whether the cells are rejected, and follows patients for at least 6 months.
Muschler and Piuzzi are working with other experts, on behalf of the AAOS and allied associations, to standardize treatment protocols. After a February 2018 symposium, convened by the AAOS at Stanford University in California, the team began work on a white paper stating best practices and summarizing the evidence so far.
"Everyone is trying to figure out how we can get our arms around this," said Scott Rodeo, MD, from Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City, who cochaired the Stanford symposium.
The FDA is formulating vigorous plans to enforce rules against unproven biologic treatments and easing the path to approval for those with strong evidence. "There is a sense that they do need to police this better," he told Medscape Medical News.
Rodeo reported that he has sometimes used concentrates derived from bone marrow for difficult-to-treat cases of knee osteoarthritis, such as those in a "biologically challenging environment." But, he acknowledged, the evidence for efficacy is "not clear at all."
"There definitely is great potential here," he said. "We just need more data. We need to figure out what works and what doesn't."
Muschler reports financial relationships with Fortus and the National Institutes of Health. Piuzzi has disclosed no relevant financial relationships. Rodeo reports financial relationships with the Joint Restoration Foundation, Ortho RT, and Rotation Medical.

Since the first conflict between man, deception has played an integral role. Today on the network battlefield attackers enjoy many advantages and frequently employ deception as a powerful tool to accomplish their objectives. In this talk we discuss how to turn the tables on the attacker and employ deception strategies that deceive both human attackers and the code they employ to best defend your assets. This talk isn't about social engineering or honeypots, but instead carefully analyzes dozens of deception techniques and how they can be woven together into a deception strategy that increases your defensive posture. We do so by mapping traditional and well-developed military battlefield deception techniques and principles onto the cyber domain. We'll intersperse historical examples from military deception operations as well as provide new concepts for deception on the geographic, physical (OSI Layer 1), Logical (OSI Layer 2-7), persona, and supervisory planes that comprise the operational cyber environment. You'll leave this talk inspired and armed to better defend your networks, systems, and people while forcing your attackers off balance.

The Verge has a story on US Senator Ed Markey's report on 16 different automakers security policies. The report found nearly 100% of cars on the market are vulnerable attacks through WiFi or Bluetooth "Only two automobile manufacturers were able to describe any capabilities to diagnose or meaningfully respond to an infiltration in real-time." The report also called Security measures to prevent remote access to vehicle electronics, "inconsistent and haphazard." The issue of privacy was also raised about the use and collection of driving data. Notably, Tesla did not participate in the survey.
TechCrunch reports Netflix is making its service available to Cuban customers today for US$7.99. That US dollar figure comes with the need to have an international payment method as well as Internet access. The US relaxed trade restrictions with Cuba in December making this kind of offering possible if largely symbolic. Netflix said in a statement it hopes to bring Cuban filmmakers work to a global audience as well.
9 to 5 mac has sources. And they are familiar with the matter. What matter are they familiar with today? Apparently Apple's iOS 9, slated for release in 2015 will have a major focus on stability. iOS 9 engineers are putting a "huge" focus on bug fixes, maintaining stability and boosting performance, rather than focusing on new features. Apple will also continue to keep the size of the OS and updates manageable, especially for the millions of iOS device owners with 16GB smartphones.
LG is giving a virtual reality headset and the VR game Robobliteration away for free with purchase of its LG G3 phone. The headset is a plastic version of Google's Cardboard VR housing. The user mounts their phone, in this case the G3, inside the googles which mainly consists of biconvex lenses. The G3 has a 538 ppi screen which makes it usable for this kind of VR. It also has the sleep button the back instead of the side. The offer is good for a limited time with no word on whether the headset will be sold separately.
CNBC is reporting that Ecuador's bid to become the first country in the world with its own digital currency should become reality at the end of the month. The Central Bank of Ecuador signed a deal with a taxi organization to accept the electronic money and the ability to pay for select services and send money between individuals starts the middle of this month. The government says the Sistema de Dinero Electronico (electronic money system) iwill be controlled through the government and pegged to the US dollar. The US Dollar became the official currency of Ecuador in 2000. The system is not like Biotcoin, which is banned in Ecuador, but similar to mobile bankless payment systems like M-Pesa.
The head of China's National Development and Reform Commission antitrust division said a new antiturust settlement with Qualcomm will soon be released.
Reuters reports Qualcomm will pay China a fine of around $1 billion, ending a 14-month investigation into anti-competitive practices. The deal may also have Qualcomm lower its royalty rates around a third on patents used in China. For the fiscal year ended Sept. 28, Qualcomm earned about half its global revenue of $26.5 billion in China.
The Verge says Microsoft is letting anybody try out Office 2016. All you need to do is head to https://connect.microsoft.com/ and agree to an NDA. If you can't keep a secret Both Office 2016 and Office for Windows 10 will ship later this year.
News From You:
Attention cordkillers! KAPT_Kipper would like you to know that Sling TV is now accepting signups without invitations. Gigaom reports that you can sign up on the Sling TV website to get live access to 15 channels including ESPN, TNT, TBS, CNN and others.

Gigglepunch and Habichuelacondulce submitted the CNET report on controversy over Samsung's SmartTV privacy policy regarding voice commands. The Daily Beast noted the policy says "Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition." Samsung responded to anyone who asked that they encryopt data, only send the voice commands used to control the TV, display a mic when the TV is listening, and assured everyone that users can turn the feature off.

Pick of the Day:
Jake Overton in Johns Creek GA wants to recommend a Chrome and Firefox extension called ActiveInbox . It used to be GTDInbox.
"If you are an Inbox zero follower, it lets you get there quickly. If you simply want to use your Gmail as a task list, fine. If you go full GTD, it is not hard to set it up (following it is up to you).
You can set due dates, change active status and projects, categorize, add notes and checklists to an email all in one interface. If a project is finished, a single button removes all labels that kept it active, and adds a !Finished label and gets it out of your way. It has built-in searches that let you see at a glance just those things important to you "
It's not free but there is a two-week free trial.

DTNS 2424 – Glass Ceiling
DTNS 2426 – Google Browser MD


Between the law firm, other startups I've started, and advising clients, I've interacted with hundreds of designers and developers through the years.
The most critical thing that I've learned is that design is about input, not output.
Let me give you an example – let's say you have an idea to start a mobile convenience store truck that shows up to office buildings during the week and sells convenience store items (I think I may actually do this). You'll need a website and perhaps a mobile application that 1) tells people where the truck is, 2) sends notifications, 3) allows for mobile purchasing, and 4) has a loyalty program built into it.
Seems pretty straightforward (and this can be done pretty inexpensively these days – more on that soon). But you cannot count on designers or developers to see the full vision you have in your head. It is critical that you provide as much input as possible and clearly communicate your goals both visually and textually.
For example, let's drill in on #1 above: tells people where the truck is. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Is the information textual or graphical, or both? Does there need to be a mapping feature? Do we want to tell customers where the truck is, or how far away it is, or both? What about where it has been? Or where it is going?
As you can see, what seems like a simple directive can have multiple interpretations and a number of product paths. This is why it is imperative that you have clear and thorough deliverables in a written agreement prior to beginning any development or design work. And the way to get those clear and thorough deliverables is through input.

Max FM logo
Max FM was a radio station run by Wintec on the 107.1 FM frequency. The station was founded as The Revolution in early 2004 by Greg Adam, with help from Aaron Maisey, Bart Fine and James Raffin.
In 2005 Max Christoffersen, a staff member at Wintec who had previously managed and established Contact 89FM, re-established The Revolution as Max FM. The station began teaching an NZQA approved National certificate programme in 2007 for students aiming to enter broadcasting.
Max FM became Hamilton's first student station to web-cast and provide total listener interactivity through the station's playlist being available to listeners on the www.maxfm.co.nz website.
Max-FM stopped broadcasting in 2011 and was rebranded as The Yak FM.

Foday Gassama Finally Takes Oath
in News — by Kairo News — March 18, 2019
After more than a week of legal tussle and words of protest, President Adama Barrow's latest nominated Member of Parliament today takes oath of office. In accordance with clause 3 (1) of the Standing orders, the Clerk of the National Assembly administered the Oath of allegiance to Hon. Foday Gassama at the National Assembly building in Banjul.
Hon. Gassama, a former United Democratic Party Coordinator of West Coast Region, was nominated to replace Ya Kumba Jaiteh. The development came after President Adama Barrow had revoked Jaiteh's nomination.
The former MP argued that President Barrow erred because he (Barrow) had no constitutional powers to revoke parliamentary nomination after oath of office was administered. Ya Kumba Jaiteh turned to the Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of President Barrow's decision. Her earlier application to bar the Attorney General, Speaker and Clerk of National Assembly from swearing in Mr. Gassama was thrown out last week. This opens the doors for the seat to be filled. The Supreme Court resumes on March 26 to start deliberations on Ya Kumba's application on the constitutionality of the President's revocation.

10:17 How bad is the quality drop in One Punch Man season 2?
18:27 Was Fruits Basket worth bringing back?
29:41 Demon Slayer is fine I guess?
Well i think would only watch Demon Slayer this season since i like the manga. But there always Jojo. I don't hate fruit Basket but i still need time to forget the god awful dub of the older version i saw, i think i wait for the new series get a little far ahead before i watch it. Music anime isn't my taste. Pretty slow season if you ask me. Also i just learn that Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu getting a anime. And if you don't know what that is, it the precursor to most of the current Isekai series, the base form for all other Isekai series to build upon, the embodiment of bad isekai tropes in it infant form. Can't wait to see that trainwreck.
Yeah I think we all agree it's a slow season. I say this a lot, but maybe I really can get to some backlog now?
I think Iro is right on the money re. Carole and Tuesday. The manager's line is "All of our singers nowadays are AI's", not something like "all our music is composed by AI's", after all, and it seems like Angela's arc will be about defying her promise to be a "marionette" and returning the human spark to music along with Carole and Tuesday. It'd be hella weird for a show to proclaim itself anti-"artificial" music and then put people like Flying Lotus and Taku Takahashi on its soundtrack.


With decent processing power, the ability to let you indulge in a bit of gaming and a solid design, the R780 is great value at £799. However, Samsung's curious decision to go with a 32-bit operating system and the laptop's woefully short battery life can't be ignored. Some folk won't be too concerned about either, though, and this is otherwise a very impressive laptop at an equally impressive price.
Samsung's R780 is a budget desktop replacement laptop that offers good performance and is solidly engineered. The NP-R780-JSIBUK version we reviewed offers good value for money. It's bundled with excellent specifications, but battery life is criminally low and it lacks a full HD screen. There are a couple of configurations to choose from, but you can't upgrade the screen to a higher resolution. However, the R780 remains a commendable, if not exceptional, budget desktop replacement as long as you don't expect to stay away from a power socket for too long.
Samsung has once again captured a powerful mixture of performance and value in the R780. Its Blu-ray drive might be wasted on the sub-Full HD display and rotten speakers, but for general computing tasks its shines and delivers decent gaming performance to boot.
