Dog badges could be profoundly valuable to identify your dog and ensure that just in case he gets lost the owner can be found without difficulty http://blog.trainingcollar.com/. A dog badge is one small guarantee that many of us can provide ourselves that in the event that our fluffy friends decide to take a stroll by himself and finds himself lost and in unfamiliar property, his dog badge can certainly make certain that he's returned to his rightful owner without much of a struggle.
While dog badges can represent adorable accessories to pet dogs, the same dog badges may be used to mark service dogs. Service dogs and pet dogs aren't the same. A service dog is one who's taught to be of total help to his handler that will possibly involve some form of disability. Service dogs are of prime facilitation to individuals that have a hearing or visual incapability and are generally wonderful assistants to a few that are autistic or have restricted mobility. A dog badge can be sewed on the dog's vest or harness in order that he could be identified without difficulty.
As soon as a service dog has been identified as so, his handler could take him at anyplace. The truth is, most service dogs are permitted to places which even claim that dogs aren't permitted. Service dogs go through a good degree of training making them culturally extremely well behaved. These dogs know how to protect the very best interest of their handler and hence pose as no social embarrassment. Actually quite a few service dogs are extremely well behaved that even when provoked they won't leave the side of their owner. Having a dog badge showing the animal stature of a service dog makes certain that the handler doesn't have to go through any stressful queries or pestering when he wants to go someplace else accompanied by his dog.
While nearly all service dogs come with an identification tag, dog badges can lend that small portion of vogue to your furry friend. Regardless if your dog is not a service dog, a dog badge could be a clever adornment which can show people and your dog just how much you love him. It's easy to customise these badges and can have all kinds of facts about it. If your dog is a service dog then you can definitely have your dog's picture as well as the name and contact details of the handler and subsequently in line to be reached on the badge. This dog badge will also have the status of the animal mentioned on it which could tell others of its status and objective.
Many people obtain dog badges as fashion statements for their pooch friends. These badges act as accessories to make your pet look more lovable and smart. Dog badges are usually fixed conveniently on the dog's vest, harness or collar and can look very cute and funky. You can quickly go online and acquire a personalised dog badge made conveniently. Just be certain that you have a spare badge ready with all info relevant to your dog allowing you to have one handy if one badge is missing.

Massive Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus leak just revealed all the specs
By Richard Priday
(Image credit: WinFuture)
Almost everything you could want to learn about the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus has just been exposed in a massive specs leak from German outlet WinFuture (opens in new tab).
The amount of detail is pretty impressive, and gives us a lot to chew over about the new phones. You can see everything condensed into the specs table below, or read on for a more granular breakdown.
Rumored Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus specs
Galaxy S23 Galaxy S23 Plus
Display 6.1-inch FHD AMOLED 6.6-inch FHD AMOLED
Refresh rate 48 - 120Hz adaptive 48 - 120Hz adaptive
Rear cameras 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto
Front camera 12MP selfie 12MP selfie
Chipset Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
RAM 8GB 8GB
Storage 128GB, 256GB 256GB, 512GB
Battery 3,900 mAh 4,700 mAh
Charging 25W wired/10W wireless 45W wired/10W wireless
Water/dust resistance IP68 IP68
Size 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6mm (5.75 x 2.79 x 0.29 inches) 157.8 x 76.2 x 7.6mm (6.2 x 3.0 x 0.29 inches)
Weight 167g (5.8 ounces) 195g (6.8 ounces
Colors Black, Cotton, Green, Purple Black, Cotton, Green, Purple
First off, there's the new design, as we can see in the image above, likely from Samsung's press assets for the launch. The two phones have taken a leaf out of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's book and ditched their camera blocks for individual lenses protruding from the back glass.
These phones measure 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6mm (5.75 x 2.79 x 0.29 inches) in the case of the Galaxy S23, and 157.8 x 76.2 x 7.6mm (6.2 x 3.0 x 0.29 inches) for the Galaxy S23 Plus. They also weigh 167g (5.8 ounces) and 195g (6.8 ounces), respectively.
The displays look to be mostly the same as the previous generation. Depending on the model, you get either a 6.1-inch or 6.6-inch display, featuring a 48 - 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, FHD resolution, and HDR10+. One new addition is Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the latest and toughest screen material that should reduce the risk of scratches and cracks even further.
For cameras, both phones feature 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 10MP 3x zoom telephoto cameras, capable of recording video at 8K at 30fps, as well as 4K at 60 fps. Meanwhile, there's a 12MP selfie camera, kept in a central punch-hole in the display, that can record video at 4K at 60 fps.
Both of the new Galaxy S23 phones in this leak will apparently run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, including in Europe where we normally get Exynos-powered silicon instead. Joining the chip is 8GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage in the S23, or 256GB or 512GB for the Plus.
For the batteries, the Galaxy S23 will use a 3,900 mAh cell according to these specs, with the S23 Plus getting a 4,700 mAh battery instead. Both of those are slightly larger than what you got on the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.
Charging is the same as before though, with 25W fast wired charging for the Galaxy S23, 45W wired charging for the Plus (although we'd assume neither ship with charging bricks as with previous Samsung flagship phones) and 10W wireless charging for both.
Galaxy S23 colors, connectivity and more
Users curious about what Galaxy S23 colors will be happy to see WinFuture's leak contains the same colors as previous ones. Those are going to be black, cotton, green and purple, although the existing leaks give those Samsung's more evocative official names.
Other noteworthy features from WinFuture's Galaxy S23 spec sheet include the returning ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, IP68 water/dust resistance, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, ultrawideband support (likely only on the Plus model) and an Android 13-based One UI 5.1 OS.
About the only thing missing from these specs is pricing. The latest we've heard on that from other leaks is that the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus won't be getting any more expensive compared to last year, meaning likely starting prices of $800 and $1,000, respectively.
Galaxy S23 preorder: up to $100 credit @ Samsung (opens in new tab)
Up to $100 credit! Samsung is one of the best sites for Galaxy S23 preorders. Reserve your Galaxy S23 preorder via Samsung and you'll get up to a $100 Samsung credit. You'll get a $50 credit when you reserve one device or a $100 credit if you reserve two devices. (It's likely Samsung will also announce a new Galaxy Book). This is a no commitment pre-order.

There are plenty of opportunities to have a great time at the beach. There are so many options, in fact, that it can be hard to choose what to do. You can enjoy the sea, the sand, or you can view the scene from underneath your own umbrella. Whether you are enjoying the beach alone, with friends, or with kids, you can be sure to have a fun time with just a bit of planning.
Stay hydrated. The sun, sand, and salty sea can leave you feeling dehydrated. Bring plenty of water and/or other beverages to keep you hydrated throughout your visit to the beach. Drinks can usually be purchased by a vendor on or near the beach, but they are usually pretty expensive. Bring your own drinks in a cooler to save time and money.
Packing a drink or drinks in a small cooler filled with ice will prevent your drink from becoming sandy and warm.
One gallon of water is recommended.
Bring sunscreen. Wearing sunscreen is an important part of going to the beach. A direct exposure to the sun can cause severe sunburn, skin damage, and potentially skin cancer later on in life. Avoid the pain and redness of a sunburn by applying at least SPF 30 before going to the beach.
Reapply sunscreen every couple of hours, even if it is waterproof.
Pack an umbrella. The sun can be harsh at the beach. Bring an umbrella to have some shade when the sun gets too much. If you don't already have an umbrella, one can be purchased at a shop near the beach, or sometimes rented at the beach. Set up the umbrella in an empty spot and place your chair and/or towel underneath it.
Make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when you go in the water.
Read a book. Life can get too busy to sit down and enjoy a good book or magazine. The beach is a great opportunity to catch up on reading you've been wanting to get to. Grab a magazine before you go to the beach, or choose a fun, relaxing "beach read." Sit underneath your umbrella and enjoy the environment as well as the story.
Avoid bringing an expensive and valuable book. It could get damaged by the sand and water.
Make a beach playlist. Relax on the sand and listen to some of your favorite music. Choose some songs for a playlist before going to the beach. You can make the playlist on your phone or iPod. Make sure to bring a set of earphones.
You can bring a portable speaker if you would rather not wear earphones.
Go on a walk. Take a stroll by the water. Enjoy the sand, sea, and everything else at the beach. There's a lot more to see at the beach other than water and sand. You can also look at the other beachgoers, the birds, seashells, and tide pools.
Make sure you keep track of where you parked or came from. It can be easy to get lost on the beach.
Enjoy the water. The water is half the fun of the beach. Take a swim, or walk out as far into the water as you are comfortable with. You can also bring a floatation device, or rent a jet ski if you want to venture farther out into the water.
Do not go into the water at a time that has been deemed dangerous. Always watch for signs and listen to the lifeguard.
Get to the beach early. The beach can get crowded as the day goes on, so it is better to arrive to arrive early to designate a spot. Check when the beach you are going to opens, but 9 a.m. should be a good time to arrive. Set up your area fully before beginning any activities to make sure that you will have enough space.
Bring a wagon or cart. It can be difficult to carry everything needed for a beach day, like balls, refreshments, towels, sunscreen, and speakers. Bringing a wagon that you can easily roll behind you will make it easier to transport everything, especially if you plan to move throughout the day. Choose a wagon with sturdy wheels that can move easily through the sand.
The Wonder Wheeler is a popular brand of carts to bring to the beach.
Bring a speaker. Having music that everyone can here is a good idea if you will be going to the beach with a group of friends. Bring a radio or a speaker that can hook up to a smartphone or iPod. If you are bringing a speaker, choose a playlist with your friends that everyone can enjoy.
Make sure to keep the music at a reasonable volume if other people are around.
Play games. Bring equipment for games that everyone can take part in. You can bring footballs, Frisbees, bocce balls, volleyballs, or any other equipment for a game that can easily be played on the beach. A few other ideas for games are beach mini golf, relay racing, and sand castle building competitions.
Bring refreshments. Pack refreshments that can be shared amongst everyone. Bring large bottles of water, soda, or juice. For food, make sandwiches ahead of time, or any other food that can be eaten easily and shared. You can also bring large bags of chips and crackers for snacks. Clean up after eating and check to make sure nothing is left behind when leaving the beach.
If you're of legal age you can bring adult beverages like beer or wine, as long as you have checked with the rules of the beach first.
Choose a spot near the lifeguard. There are a couple of benefits from choosing a spot close to the lifeguard. First, it is good to have a lifeguard near when you have small children so that they can be reached quickly if something grows wrong. It is also good to be near a lifeguard because it is easier for children to remember where you are when a lifeguard station is nearby.
Do not choose a spot directly in front of the lifeguard station. The lifeguard needs a clear path to the water and will ask you to move.
Set up a tent. Invest in a small tent that can be easily set up and taken apart. A tent is better than an umbrella if you will be bringing kids to the beach. It provides more shade, and it is a good place for them to nap if they need it. Make sure you find a spot on the beach that a tent can be set up without invading anyone else's space.
The best type of tent to get is one that folds flat and can be zipped up in a case. They are easier to transport this way.
Go on a treasure hunt. A treasure hunt is a good way to keep your kids active and entertained. Bury things like golf balls, large shells, or plastic toys in the sand and have them dig for the "treasures." Bury the items close enough to your location so that you can keep an eye on them and give them clues.
Put a bucket in the center of the "treasure" area and have them put the items they uncover into the bucket.
Build a sand castle. Building a sand castle is a classic experience at the beach during childhood. Choose a spot where the castle won't be washed away, dig a well in the sand, and scoop up some sand. Then, add some water to the sand, squeeze the sand until it is compact, and begin building the castle until it is completed.
Use a bucket to create shapes for the castle.
Fly a kite. The beach is a great place to fly a kite because it is usually pretty windy. Flying a kite is a great way to keep kids entertained, and it can serve as a fun challenge. If you don't already have a kite, one can typically be bought at a souvenir shop near the beach. Make sure to choose a spot with plenty of space and keep an eye on your children as they fly the kite.
If you already have a kite, test it out before leaving for the beach to make sure it works.
Explore the environment. The beach is fun, but it also provides a rich learning environment for children. Take a walk around the beach and explore the shells, tide pools, plants, and sea life that has washed up on the beach, like starfish. You can make a list of things you would like your children to identify and make a game out of quizzing them on what the names are of things like crabs and seaweed.
Make sure to warn your kids not to pick up anything dangerous, like broken shells with sharp edges.
What are some things that I can do that don't involve swimming?
You can go beachcombing (looking for seashells), play volleyball, lay in the sun, read, look at your phone or tablet, take a walk, draw in the sand, etc. There are plenty of things to do that don't involve swimming but still involve enjoying the beach. After all, many people enjoy walking on the beach when it is too cold to go swimming.
How can I have fun at the beach when I hate going?
Just lay down on the sand and let the water reach you. Make the best of the time you have. Instead of dwelling on being somewhere you don't like, try to find positive aspects of it.
What if I don't feel comfortable with the way I look in a bathing suit?
Many people feel uncomfortable in a bathing suit. Chances are, you have no reason to worry about what you look like. Try on bathing suits until you find one that you like best. If you don't find one, you can always wear a cover up, like a shirt or dress.
How can I swim with waves without drowning?
Make sure the signs and lifeguard says it is safe to swim. Do not swim in the water if the waves are too high.
What should I do if there is a storm and I can't go to the beach?
You can still have fun at your house or in the hotel. Play with your siblings if you have them along, read a book, or watch TV. You can also go somewhere indoors, like a mall or a movie. As for the beach, you can still go there another day.
Hello, I am 12 years old and going to the beach with my brother and mom. What should I do to not get bored?
You could look for shells, go in the water, build a castle, read, etc.
Is there plastic on the beach?
It really depends on the location of the beach. If you do see plastic, pick it up and put it in the trash.
What if I'm forced to go to the beach with someone I don't want to be with? I can't do anything about it, and it will just be three of us. How can I still have fun?
Change your attitude about this person before you go to the beach. Perhaps you have misjudged them in some way. If you truly can't stand them, just tell yourself something like, "I will not let this person ruin my day at the beach." Try to be civil and polite to them. If you need a break from them at any point, say you're going to lay out and tan, put on your sunglasses and earbuds if you have any, and ignore everything around you.
What do I do if I want to have fun at a beach and it might rain?
Bring cheap sunglasses to the beach. Sunglasses are great to have at the beach, but it is better to buy a cheaper pair than ruining and expensive pair. The same amount of UVA and UVB protection should be offered in a cheaper pair of sunglasses.
Know where the bathrooms are before settling down on the beach. If you are with kids, it can prevent the stress of looking for a clean place to go when they really really need it.
Put your electronic devices in a clear sandwich bag to prevent them from getting wet.
Take pictures while you are at the beach to remember the treasured memories later on.
Sunscreen is very important. You risk sun damage and skin cancer if you spend long periods of time in the sun without sunscreen.
Watch out for jellyfish. Don't swim in areas that are jellyfish prone.
Do not litter. It is bad for the environment, and it can result in a heavy fine.

Q: Retrieve managed package metadata using Org Browser in Visual Studio Code I have created a project using Org Browser in visual studio code instead of creating a project using the manifest file since it eliminates the need to manually update the package.xml file and also it can automatically retrieve any new component added in the org without much manual effort.
But I'm unable to retrieve managed package components from org browser. For example, our instance has Salesforce CPQ managed package and have our custom fields and workflow rules on the Quote object (API: SBQQ__Quote__c). If I were using manifest, I could manually add the object API name to the package.xml so that the components are pulled. Is there anything similar when a project is created without manifest? I could not find any documentation around this.

In a moisture-compromised structure, drywall is especially susceptible to damage from exposure to moisture. This is because gypsum, the material drywall is made of, is very sensitive to moisture. Drywall that has been allowed to get too wet can experience numerous problems, such as dissolution and mold growth.
So, how do you detect moisture in drywall? And, what is an acceptable amount of drywall moisture content (%MC)? To help you out, we here at Delmhorst Instrument Co. have assembled a short guide on how to measure moisture in drywall.
How to Measure Moisture in Drywall: What is a Safe Drywall Moisture Content?
Depending on the relative humidity (RH) of the environment in which the drywall is installed, drywall can be considered "moisture-compromised" when its %MC exceeds 1%.
Even greenboard, the "water-resistant" version of drywall, is basically done for once moisture gets past the green, water-resistant paper covering. It is a common misconception that the greenboard drywall itself is water-resistant; the reality is that it is primarily the paper coating that imparts the water resistance.
Because drywall is so susceptible to damage from exposure to moisture, it is vital to check drywall throughout a structure for signs of excess moisture after any major water damage event.
Visual Inspection. While incredibly unscientific, sometimes a simple visual inspection can spot a severe excess of moisture in drywall. For example, drywall that has been moisture-compromised can begin to discolor or even crumble—symptoms that can be spotted with the naked eye. Unfortunately, by the time such damage becomes visible, the moisture damage may have spread far beyond the visible area of effect.
Odor. Sometimes, the first indication of a problem is a musty odor in moisture-affected areas of the building. However, this olfactory warning sign usually means that there is already a significant mold infestation present, one that may require the extensive gutting of the building's materials to remediate.
The problem with the above two methods is that they are primarily useful only after moisture has gone unchecked in the drywall for a long while. By this time, the moisture problem may have spread to other materials.
To identify the presence of excess moisture in drywall before there are readily visible signs of damage, drywall moisture meters are your best bet. When it comes to using moisture meters for measuring moisture in drywall, you can use either a specially-made meter that uses the drywall scale, or you can use a meter that has a reference scale mode.
A pin-type meter with a drywall scale setting, such as Delmhorst's TechCheck PLUS 2-in-1 meter, can make measuring moisture in drywall easy by providing accurate, quantitative results. The TechCheck Plus, in particular, can measure %MC in drywall over the range of 0.1% to 6% moisture content, which is more than enough to verify whether the drywall is at risk (remember: drywall is considered moisture-compromised if it has more than 1% moisture content).
Another example of a moisture meter for drywall would be the BD-2100. This pin-type meter can take quantitative readings of gypsum moisture content between 0.2% to 50%—which can make it ideal for testing Gyp-Crete in addition to drywall.
With a drywall scale meter, accurately measuring moisture is as easy as pushing the pins of the meter into the drywall and taking a reading. The meter will provide an exact measurement that you can use to determine the moisture content of the drywall.
With a reference scale meter, you might not be able to get an exact reading of the drywall's %MC, but you can determine whether moisture is present in the drywall.
First, take a reading in a sample of drywall that you know to be dry. This reading will probably be very low but should still serve as a reliable baseline. Then, start measuring moisture in the material you suspect to be moisture-compromised. Since these readings will be relative, and drywall has such a low tolerance for moisture, even a slight increase over the sample reading can be indicative of moisture in drywall.
Alternatively, if there is a significant level of moisture in the drywall, a reference scale reading can be used to quickly establish a pass/fail assessment. This is because any significant moisture indication in drywall usually means that the drywall is compromised.
When measuring moisture in drywall that you suspect might be moisture-compromised, testing multiple sites around the affected area is important. Identifying the extent of the affected area as soon as possible can be helpful for ensuring that the moisture problem can be appropriately remediated before it spreads.
Using moisture meters to detect moisture in drywall before visible signs of damage become apparent to the naked eye helps to limit the spread of damage. Waiting until you can see or smell signs of drywall damage allows problems such as mold to grow and spread, potentially affecting other building materials.

The financial ties that bind
While China's policy banks are lending to governments, India's commercial banks are on the ground working with businesses and consumers
Chinese state-run policy banks may be leading the way in providing state-to-state finance, but commercial banks from India are capitalising on their historical ties with East Africa to grab a spot in the African banking market. The Chinese banking sector remains heavily regulated and Chinese commercial banks, other than the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, have set up only small representative offices in Africa. Banks in both Asia and Africa have been quick to sign cooperation agreements, but most provide few details about the impact these partnerships make on profits. While trade levels between Africa and Asia continue to rise, the financial ties between the regions are set to grow with them.
Of all the Asian banks, India's state-owned Bank of Baroda has the widest network of Africa-based banks. Its newest branch at the Kariakoo Market in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, opened in June. Baroda also plans to open branches in Arusha, Mbeya, Mtwara and Mwanza. By late 2012, the bank's management had set up 35 branches in Africa with another 16 in the offing. Baroda is one of India's most international banks and makes about 23% of its profits from overseas operations.
With assets worth more than US$1.2 billion, the State Bank of India Mauritius is the largest Asian bank in Africa. Two other state-owned banks – State Bank of India (SBI) and Bank of India (BoI) – are close behind. In August, banking-sector regulators in Botswana awarded SBI and BoI new operating licences.
The banks are arriving in Botswana in the wake of India's diamond traders. President Ian Khama's government is encouraging polishing and sorting companies to set up operations locally. Long before that, Bank of Baroda and BoI were amongst the first Asian banks to begin doing business in East Africa after following Gujarati and other entrepreneurs to the region in the 1950s (see Map, Asian banks spread across the continent).
Chinese investment in Africa's banking sector burst onto the scene in October 2007, with an announcement by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that it was purchasing a 20% stake in Standard Bank, one of South Africa's banking giants, for $5.6 bn. ICBC is the largest bank in China, and in the world, in terms of market capitalisation.
ICBC's strategy was to follow and further facilitate the growing activities in Africa of its Chinese corporate clients through Standard Bank's network of 18 African country offices. In return, Standard Bank would gain the support of an influential partner in navigating the domestic Chinese market while channelling Chinese capital to Africa. The deal was brokered by Goldman Sachs (which in April 2006 had taken a 4.9% stake in ICBC for $2.6 bn.) in the days following the November 2006 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing and the African Development Bank Summit held in Shanghai in June 2007.
COMPETING WITH THE POLICY BANKS
The ICBC-Standard Bank partnership may not perhaps have lived up to the fanfare and fireworks with which it was greeted. Nonetheless, it can boast a number of achievements and it has also paved the way for a growing China-Africa cooperation on the banking front, which has quietly gained momentum. The partnership has, though, failed to deliver the expected string of infrastructure and project-finance deals. Its only concrete result was the financing of Botswana's Morupule B Power Station.
Indeed, it appears that, even with a Chinese partner, policy banks like China Export-Import Bank and China Development Bank (AAC Vol 1 No 9, Developing and insuring prosperity, China's battling banks & Competing to finance Africa) make formidable competitors on the infrastructure front.
In a rare progress report, China Development Bank President Zheng Zhijie revealed this August that China's largest policy bank had invested at least $2.4 bn. in infrastructure and commercial projects across the continent over the last decade, while extending loans worth $18.9 bn. China Exim Bank has so far provided African countries with more than $25 bn. in loans.
While lacklustre in comparison, the ICBC-Standard Bank partnership has not been idle (see Chart). ICBC has leveraged its relationship with Standard Bank, completing the purchase of 55% of the South African institution's Argentinian operations in 2012. ICBC is currently also in negotiations to buy Standard Bank's London commodities trading platform.
Standard Bank's strategy is to dispose of assets outside of African jurisdictions in order to focus on markets closer to home. For ICBC, these acquisitions consolidate its global footprint. The first Chinese bank to become a member of the London Bullion Market Association, it is clearly moving to increase its impact in global commodities trading, using Standard Bank's positioning in London – just as the Shanghai Metals Market comes into its own as the world's third largest non-ferrous exchange.
In the meantime, all of South Africa's banking 'big four' have found Chinese partners. In 2006, South Africa's Absa and its British parent Barclays announced plans to provide advisory services for China Exim Bank. South Africa's FirstRand Group also signed a cooperation agreement with China Construction Bank in July 2009.
All the parties have kept quiet about the results of these alliances, much like China Development Bank's memorandum of understanding (MoU) with mining giant Anglo American in 2008. In many instances, it seems to be a case of formulating a 'China-Africa strategy' without being able to follow through on its execution. Lastly, Nedbank, the smallest of South Africa's major banking houses, signed an MOU with Bank of China (BoC) in August 2013. Both parties have alliances with Togo-based Ecobank, which has representative offices in 34 African countries and China desks in Accra, Ghana, and Dar es Salaam, thus boasting the widest pan-African coverage.
BANK OF CHINA PLAYS CATCH-UP
BoC has played an aggressive catch-up game in Africa vis-à-vis ICBC, using the internationalisation of the renminbi as a platform to globalise the bank. For decades, it was the only Chinese bank to deal with foreign exchange until China consolidated its policy banks in the 1990s, and currency settlement is its strong suit. However, although BoC has had a Johannesburg office since 2000, until recently the bank had been coy about its African operations.
China's policy of making the 'redback' a global currency has spurred BoC into action. Renminbi settlement almost trebled globally between January 2012 and January 2013. BoC, which holds more than 1,000 renminbi clearing accounts with banks across the globe, is styling itself as the leader in renminbi cross-border settlements. BoC has cleared around 6 trillion renminbi ($981 million) since 2009 and maintains a 30% share in China's renminbi-clearing market. With expectations that by 2015, 15% of China- Africa trade will be settled in renminbi, BoC is keen to maximise its position.
South Africa alone handled 18% of all renminbi settlement business in Africa in 2011 and this is set to increase. After signing an agency agreement with the People's Bank of China in April, the South African Reserve Bank has gained access to China's interbank bond market and is tipped to invest more than $1.5 bn. through the PBOC.
Banks further north have also been quick to seize the opportunities presented by integration with Chinese partners. Tanzania's National Bank of Commerce launched a Chinese currency offering in August. This allows Tanzanian clients to pay directly for goods and services from Chinese companies in renminbi, partly eliminating the exchange rate risk. The National Bank of Commerce is the second Tanzanian bank to provide such a currency service; the first was Ecobank Tanzania.
Also in August, Tanzania's CRDB Bank said that it is now accepting China UnionPay cards. The bank joins a number of other African banks, such as Kenya's Equity Bank, Nigeria's United Bank for Africa along with Standard Bank and First National Bank in South Africa.
CREDIT CARD COMPETITION
UnionPay, essentially Beijing's answer to Visa and MasterCard, is now accepted in automated teller machines in a range of African countries. Forty African countries either recognise UnionPay cards or are in negotiations to do so. This demonstrates the scale of planned integration of transactional banking between China and Africa. The implications are considerable, not only for business facilitation but also for tourism, which is a large foreign-currency earner for many African countries.
Japan's banks lag behind their Asian counterparts. However, this year's Tokyo International Conference on African Development in June brought promises to increase investment in Africa from Japan's private sector. Both the central bank, the Bank of Japan, and Mizuho Financial Group are to open offices in South Africa, often the first stop for Asian financiers.
As trade ties strengthen, the banks of smaller Asian countries will have even more reason to be active in Africa. The Bank of Taiwan is the only Taiwanese bank with operations in Africa through its office in South Africa. Nevertheless, it has sourced finance and organised a $268 mn. syndicated loan for South Africa's Standard Bank in November 2010.

PrivatBank wins appeal in London court against Ukraine's oligarchs Kolomoysky and Bogolyubov
Court of Appeal affirmed the jurisdiction of the English court
State-owned PrivatBank won in the Court of Appeal on the jurisdiction claim against the former owners of the bank Ihor Kolomoysky and Gennady Bogolyubov. This was reported by the bank's press service.
"The Court of Appeal decided that the English court has jurisdiction to consider PrivatBank's fraud claim against its former owners, Mr. Ihor Kolomoysky and Mr. Gennady Bogolyubov. A worldwide court order, which was obtained in December 2017, remains in force pending the decision on the merits," the statement said.

It is noted that the Court of Appeal found that "the Bank has a sufficient case on the full recovery of 1.9 billion dollars (including interest - 3 billion dollars) as stated in the claims" and that an order for the worldwide seizure of assets remains in force.
"The Court of Appeal held that "in circumstances where a fraud claim provides judge's definition of fraud and money laundering in a particularly large amount", the bank claim must be considered essentially in England. The Court of Appeal also denied the defendants' permission to appeal decisions and obliged them to file a line of defense against the lawsuit by the end of November, bearing in mind that the Bank can move on with the case without further delay. The date of the case will be set by the court," the press service added.
As we reported earlier, on April 18, Kyiv District Administrative Court has satisfied the claim of Ihor Kolomoysky to the National Bank of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers on the nationalization of PrivatBank. Thus, the nationalization of the bank was declared illegal.
The court decision states that the National Bank of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine were not able to provide sufficient proof of the PrivatBank's insolvency.
Then the court ruled on another decision in favor of the former owners of PrivatBank and canceled Kolomoysky's suretyship for the loans of PrivatBank.

World War One – Parramatta Soldiers – Richard Cutter the First Parramatta Man to Enlist
Richard Cutter, about 1915,
digital copy from photo-mechanical print in Parramatta District Soldiers, The Cumberland Argus, 1920
On 22 August 1914 Richard (Dick) John Cutter became the first Parramatta man to enlist in the Australian Infantry Services (A.I.F). He had presented himself for enlistment at Victoria Barracks, Sydney, on 13 August and while his embarkation record states he was 34 years of age (but given his later exploits he was possibly younger), and that he had been working as a labourer before he joined the Third Regiment.
Cutter was obviously a strong patriot as he had previously joined the St George Rifles, when it was formed in 1899. This group had been formed to as a Company of the 7th Infantry regiment to serve in the South African Boer war. The Company embraced Auburn, Clyde, Granville, Parramatta and Merrylands and was organised by a Corporal Brack.
Cutter was bitterly disappointed about not being selected to go overseas with the St George Rifles and perhaps it was this that spurred him on to enlist so readily for service in 1914. This time he embarked from Sydney on 18 October 1914 with the First Convoy and after training in Egypt served with the ANZAC's that stormed the beaches at Gallipoli on the 25th April 1915. His second enlistment however proved to be a double edged sword sword for one month later he received a serious ear injury before being wounded in the eye and leg and buried by a shell-burst while fighting at Lone Pine. This resulted in his being invalided home, although once recovered he served as a District Guard, in Australia.
These events seemed to have done nothing to curb his patriotism and when the Second World War broke out the 57 year old "Digger Dick" as he was popularly known was one of the first to arrive at the Parramatta recruiting depot, albeit claiming he was actually 42 years old. The Argus recorded Dick's resolve at the time … I wanted to have another go to keep the old flag flying, he told an interviewer at that time, but I couldn't get by them this trip. I have been a soldier all my life, and I thought that, when trouble came again, it was up to me not to back out … It wasn't because I love war, but, having played the soldier, as well as being the real thing, I felt it was my duty to again try to be there when the call came.
District 'Digger' reunions always welcomed a 'turn' by "Digger :Dick" as he was a natural comedian as well as surprisingly a clog dance and apparently his act never failed to bring down .the house. Cutter's home when he died in 1944 was in Bogalara Road, Toongabbie and he left behind a widow and a son, William who following his father's tradition was a member of the artillery militia in Parramatta.

is on the rocks. A buyer can't be found and the site might have to be closed. Founder Michael Birch sold Bebo in 2008 for 850 million dollars. Now it's seemingly worth a bit less than that.
ONE: My Bebo profile- what's going to happen to my lovingly crafted profile, AOL? I put a lot of thought into that back in the day. Okay I don't check it any more but I like to know it's there.
TWO: All the memories- Bebo is the site of my first awkward teenage flirtations. Taking the site down Is like someone knocking down the cinema where you had your first date, or your primary school or your old house. It's like your history is getting destroyed.
THREE: Being able to make jokes about going on Bebo. The jokes won't work anymore because the site will be dead.
FOUR: Bebo has always been useful for finding out embarrassing information about your friends/siblings from when they were teenagers.
FIVE: I'm worried it might cause an influx of pre-teens onto Facebook. God knows there are enough people on there as it is. I'm going to have to stop swearing in my status updates.
Bebo – we'll miss you.

This year we wanted to make our Bonfire event at De Kluis bigger and really light up the forest and also raise some money for the 10 scouts and guides from the local British groups who are attending World Scout Jamboree 2019. Thank you to all who helped or attended we made approx €750 towards their camp fees.
Many of the young people made lanterns and light displays in advance, many using recycled materials. A lot of work had gone into them. The Beavers had made lovely bottle bugs. Cubs had decorated jars and made square lanterns. Guides had decorated drinks cartons & jars. Phoenix Scout troops LED lit models deserve a special mention and won the Gold award. Here are a few pictures- although they really don't do the lanterns justice!
This weekend was the second International Camporee at De Kluis. scouts and explorers from 1st Brussels camped together with other international scout groups from the Brussels region. We had great weather and a very successful programme. The Czech and Slovak scouts ran the campfire and fire poi display. Here are a few pictures, and there are more in our gallery.
This summer Phoenix scouts had a great time in Wiltz, Luxemburg. Activities included climbing, cycling, hikes and visits to a variety of local attractions.
Our Explorers joined 1st Waterloo on a trip to Brexbachtel, Germany. High ropes, swimming, hiking and a visit to the pinball museum were all on the menu.

CAMPUS | UF ADMINISTRATION
Presidential searches around the nation reflect UF's own
Desired presidential qualities vary, but secrecy remains consistent
By Lindsay Schindler
July 11, 2022 | 6:00am EDT

UF's ongoing secretive presidential search follows similar private searches at other institutions, a reflection of shifting national dynamics as search firms encourage confidentiality. .
In the past two years, institutions such as Harvard University, State University of New York at Oswego, Pennsylvania State University and Temple University have undergone or are undergoing their own presidential searches. While prioritized qualifications vary based on the community's needs, the searches' similarities, and secrecy, can be seen across the nation.
Little is known about UF's search as it enters its fourth month. Public record bills passed in March permit the names of Florida schools' presidential candidates to remain private; the list of presidential candidates is released only 21 days prior to the official selection of the new university president.
UF's search began in March, three months after UF President Kent Fuchs announced he would resign from his position to become a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
UF's Board of Trustees chose SP&A Executive Search, a search firm specializing in serving higher education sectors, because of its experience conducting Florida State University's and the University of South Florida's presidential searches, UF Board of Trustees member Tom Kuntz said. Search firms have become increasingly popular in recent years, and they often advise universities to keep the search confidential to recruit candidates without jeopardizing their current positions at other universities.
In a UF presidential search listening session May 24, Andrew Treadwell, Indian River State College's Pruitt Campus president and UF alumnus, said UF's next president should have the traditional academic background and understand the duties of a tier-one research institution, a university highly focused on research.
The candidate should also have interpersonal skills, such as philanthropy and fundraising prowess, and be an expert communicator with media, faculty and students, Treadwell said.
"You're looking for a unicorn in today's day and age," Treadwell said.
Nina Jablonski, an anthropology professor at Penn State and member of the search committee, said the election process at her university was similarly secretive. Everyone on the 2021 presidential search committee had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
"The search committee took this very seriously because we knew that a leak could entirely derail and delegitimize the process," she wrote in an email.
Penn State sought a president with a holistic understanding of academia; it wanted someone equipped to deal with multi-campus research and teaching institutions, Jablonski said. Penn State has 20 undergrad campuses, and the university wanted someone who could sufficiently manage them all. Neeli Bendapudi, former president of the University of Louisville, was named Penn State's 19th president May 9.
Similarly, in February 2021, Temple's presidential search committee said its ideal candidate should focus on students' needs and have experience managing large, complex organizations. Mitchell Morgan, Board of Trustees Chairman at Temple, said its next president should have significant fundraising experience. Jason Wingard was selected to be Temple's 12th president in June 2021.
SUNY Oswego's search began in November 2021 after President Deborah F. Stanley announced she would retire after 26 years in the position in May 2021. Oswego said its next president should be innovative and put the students first. Oswego has not released a list of candidates.
Harvard President Larry Bacow announced last month he would step down from his role, and the names of the search committee were announced Thursday.
As more students return to campus for Summer and Fall classes, information on UF's search remains hidden, but its rival schools may offer an expected timeline. FSU released a list of 22 applicants May 10, 2021; Richard McCullough, the former vice provost of research at Harvard University, was named president two weeks later.

Abia North PDP backs Ikpeazu, insists on Abia charter of equity
The leadership and membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia North Senatorial Zone of Abia State have expressed their unalloyed solidarity to the Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, expressing their support and loyalty to the Abia Charter Of Equity, while describing the judgement of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja in favor of one of their own, Mr Uche Ogah, as 'controversial and contentious'.
Rising from a stakeholders meeting of the Zone in Ohafia, the Abia North PDP in a statement jointly signed by over 130 leaders of the party in the zone dissociate themselves from Ogah, who hails from the zone, stressing that he wants to throw Abia into a state of anarchy.
"the controversial and contentious judgment of the Hon. Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division came to us as a surprise and a calculated attempt to rock the boat of a smooth sailing government of Abia State under the able leadership of Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D.
"That the said judgment, which is misconceived, unresearched and unknown to facts and law defeats all known principles of justice.
"That we totally align with the judgment of Hon. Justice Lewis Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Owerri Division, is well reasoned and well researched both in facts and law thereby vindicating and absolving Okezie Victor Ikpeazu Ph.D of any wrong doing with respect to his tax documents.
"That we dissociate ourselves from the inordinate ambition of Uche Ogah who hails from Abia North and his cohorts, in their bid to throw the state into a state of anarchy.
"That we express our complete solidarity and absolute loyalty to the Government of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and affirm our faith in the Abia Charter of Equity as enunciated by the founding fathers of Abia State which implies that the office of the Governor of Abia State will rotate among the three senatorial districts of the state.
"That the emergence of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu from Abia South at this time is consistent with the provisions of that Charter, Abia North and Abia Central having taken their turn before in 1999-2007 and 2007-2015 respectively."
Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, the senator representing Abia North, Hon. Cusmos Ndukwe, the Deputy Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Dr. Eme Okoro, the Secretary to Abia State Government, Hon Osita Igbe, Commissioner for Housing, Hon Uko Nkole, member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, among others signed the resolution of the Abia North PDP.

Environment: Two loggerhead turtles released
Two loggerhead turtles, Johnny and Fajju, were returned to the sea yesterday, during a turtle release event held at Gnejna Bay. The turtles spent a number of months at the Turtle Rehabilitation Unit at Forti San Lucjan in Marsaxlokk, where they were cared for by aquaculture officer Charles Sammut and Nature Trust (Malta) volunteers, who help with cleaning, medication and feeding of the turtles undergoing rehabilitation. They were under the medical observation of veterinary surgeon Anthony Gruppetta of St Simon's Veterinary Practice in Mosta. The turtles were released on the occasion of World Turtle Day (23 May) in the presence of Resources and Rural Affairs Minister George Pullicino, Environment Minister Mario de Marco, 120 students who participated in the Young Reporters/EkoSkola programme, and Nature Trust volunteers, including the NGO's Marine Rescue Team, which is made up of a dedicated team of volunteers who have Mepa permits to handle protected animals and who are on call on a 24/7 basis. Following Johnny and Fajju's release yesterday, short talks were given on turtles and their rehabilitation, marine wildlife rescue and jellyfish watching. Air Malta has been supporting Nature Trust's turtle rehabilitation centre project – which will involve an investment of €1.5 million – by means of the 'Adopt a Turtle' campaign. The centre will be the first of its kind and it will receive injured turtles, which currently undergo rehabilitation at San Lucjan, as well as other injured animals such as hedgehogs. By means of the 'Adopt a Turtle' campaign (donations can be made via the Air Malta website), Nature Trust has already managed to collect more than €3,000.(independent.com.mt) This is a great news for the environment.
Carm Mifsud Bonnici censure motion: No ruling from Speaker yet
The Speaker's awaited ruling on the Opposition's proposed amendment to its censure motion has not yet been issued, as parliament continues debating the motion against Carm Mifsud Bonnici over his performance as Justice and Home Affairs Minister. The Opposition is seeking to convert its motion into one calling for the minister's resignation, but the government is strongly contesting the move. Yesterday evening's debate started with a speech by Nationalist MP Beppe Fenech Adami, the parliamentary secretary in the Home Affairs Ministry, who staunchly defended Dr Mifsud Bonnici's record and the government's achievements in the sectors under discussion. He repeatedly said that the government, the ministry and Dr Mifsud Bonnici have reason to be proud of the results in the areas of both home affairs and justice. Talking about the Police Corps, Dr Fenech Adami said the minister had ensured that it is well equipped with human resources and equipment as the government is committed to fighting crime. The Nationalist MP spoke about investment in police stations, new vehicles, equipment for DNA testing, fingerprinting and breathalyser tests, as well as investment in the police mounted section and the dog section. Referring to the speech given by the Opposition's spokesman for home affairs Micahel Falzon on Wednesday morning, the Nationalist MP said: "Saying that the corps is demoralised, not running efficiently and not achieving results is irresponsible."(independent.com.mt) It is a heavy decision for the presidency.
Borg prepares PN for 'internal challenges'
'Nothing ever broke the Nationalist Party and nothing will break us today,' a confident deputy prime minister Tonio Borg tells general council. Deputy prime minister Tonio Borg has warned the PN's general council to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. "Some of these will also be internal," he said, seemingly referring to backbencher's Franco Debono retaliation and the motion of censure - yet to see whether it will become one of resignation - in home affairs minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici. "But we form part of the oldest party ... a party which has suffered and knows what it means to suffer for what it stands for. We are not going to give up. This suffering will encourage us and prepare us for the big battle [elections] whenever it comes," Borg said. "Nothing broke the PN in the past. And nothing will break us today. We are the party built on commitment, the suffering, on the hard work of those who came before us and the aspirations of the people today." Borg told his audience to be "courageous" because the PN believed in the people.(maltatoday.com.mt) Parties who say this usually drown themselves.

The Supreme Court in History: A Non- or Hyper- Partisan Body?
Modern American society takes for granted a non-partisan Supreme Court. Politicians and activists on both sides of the aisle, when debating the Supreme Court and its justices, inevitably raise the point that the Supreme Court has always been and ought to remain non-partisan. Politics and parties, they argue, have no place in the American Supreme Court. To sully the Supreme Court with politics would be a disservice to the institution, and weaken the Court for the future.
However, these assertions are not matched by the political history of the Court. From the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, Justices and other judicial officials frequently ran for elected office or even president. In fact, during the election of 1868, the first presidential election after the end of Civil War, the Democratic political establishment sought to nominate the sitting Chief Justice. The Democratic nominating convention was a political – and logistical – nightmare, as it took 22 rounds of voting before anyone won the nomination. The man who ultimately received enough votes to be nominated, Horatio Seymour, wanted to turn it down in favor of Chief Justice Salmon Chase (who had sought and failed to get the Republican nomination for president). Chief Justice Chase, however, was not a faceless judge in Washington; rather he was the chair of the Ohio delegation – far from a non-partisan position. Moreover, before he was Chief Justice, Chase served as President Lincoln's Treasury Secretary and held elected office; in other words, Chief Justice Chase was no stranger to American politics. In one of the most important elections in US history – the first where the South could vote – establishment Democrats sought to nominate the Chief Justice, even as the Court, through Dred Scott and other decisions, helped plunge the country into the war.
Perhaps one of the most famous politicizations of the Court failed, namely FDR's attempt to "pack the Court" during the Great Depression. However, this was not the first time a President attempted to use Court appointments to change case outcomes. Occurring during Reconstruction, President Grant found himself at odds with the Supreme Court over the issue of the constitutionality of the Legal Tender Act, which allowed for government-issued non-bullion backed paper bills. The Court in Hepburn v. Griswold, declared the act unconstitutional. However, soon after the case, President Grant had the opportunity to appoint several justices. The very next year, President Grant brought the issue back to the Supreme Court, which overturned Hepburn v. Griswold. It is hard to believe that at least some form of informal quid pro quo did not occur.
Seeing as the Court has never truly existed as a non-partisan entity, we, as historian-citizens, should be critical of politicians that claim to want a non-partisan Court. It seems the American system was not designed to create such a Court. Rather, we should be diligent in demanding that our elected representatives not seek non-partisanship, but seek in nominating and confirming a Court that understands its own political history.
