Thanks for sharing this. A co-worker/friend of mine took leave from her position to volunteer in Haiti for six monthly. She is there learning so much about their way of life.
I will most definitely look for one of these lanterns. One would make a lovely addition to our new home!
Thanks for checking it out, Heather. The lantern is really, really gorgeous.
I love when cute home products have a great story behind them to boot! My friend volunteered for a summer in haiti and couldn't e-mail/call so she sent letters about the town she was in and the village. I'm inspired to go down there one day as well!
What a great story, Alice!!I have several friends who have also been there and were really changed by what they experienced. I like that this Macy's program provides sustainable income.
Wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention! When we buy our "real home" very soon I will have to incorporate some pieces.
You are so welcome! The pieces they have are gorgeous.

The combinatorics of taking every optional behavior, every parameter that can take on a set of possible values, and every WARL field and the allowed range of possibilities, and then creating an "extension" name for every individual possible "key- value" pair are crazy. (This is why people instead use key-value representations.)
For Profiles, these names have been created on an as-needed basis for specific "key-value" pairs, and no further. Their motivation was to simply have acronymic "extension" names for each of these line items.
In contrast, discovery schemes - like Device Tree, ACPI, and RISC-V Unified Discovery - want something distinctly different. Namely standard "key" names for options, parameters, and WARL fields; standard names for the values of a "key"; and a schema for representing a set of key-value pairs.
Lastly, I think everyone would agree that option / parameter / WARL field names, and their associated value names, are not "extensions". And hence should not be mixed up with the "extension" names created and used in Profiles. Any standardization of "key" names and "value" names should simply focus on usage in discovery schemes (i.e. DT, ACPI, UD). This needs to support all possible key-value pairs.
As to whether all these acronymic line items or "key-value" pairs in Profiles are "extensions", there is probably contention, but I would at least say that these are not extensions in the usual sense. And they should exist and arise solely in the context of Profiles (for the intended purpose of giving an extension-like acronymic name to each line item).
In short, I would suggest that it is probably best to keep discussion of these two topics separate.

If you're looking at the same thing I was looking at: the "extension names" are not extensions, in the usual sense.
They are names for the values of architectural options of extensions that already exist
(which often, but not always, are the legal set of values of a WARL CSR field which must be implemented).
So these are constraints on the spec'ed options that are required to run SW on the platform.

First off, please redirect me where the most appropriate forum is to discuss this topic. I am casting a fairly wide net, but that's just trying to cover those who are impacted. We can convene on a single list once it's identified.
The current Profiles (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/blob/main/profiles.adoc) proposal has coined quite a few new extension names to describe behaviors in the specifications that do not have formal names in the existing specifications. This particular topic came up during our discussion on ACPI bindings for AIA. However, userland, kernel, and firmware specifications are all impacted by this topic so settling on a well understood future direction will reap rewards across the ecosystem.
1. Is this the path we see RISC-V taking for the future? Assigning an identifier to behaviors (and related parameters) within the specifications?
2. If so, where will the official lists of extensions be maintained? Will there be a single source of extension identifiers? Or do people need to look at every potential specification to determine the identifiers?
3. There are some extensions that require parameters besides a binary presence. e.g. Zic64b in the Profile proposal indicates 64 byte cache block sizes for all cache block management, prefetch, and zero operations. That's fine for the Profile, but an implementation that may use different size(s) would need to encode the size in such an identifier. Therefore, I think that we should incorporate these notions more formally when defining identifiers for extension parameters.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this topic as it is very important, and I think it could be a good way in formalizing identifiers to all these concepts that can be used throughout the RISC-V ecosystem.

Just because I am not a morning person does not mean I cannot wake up happy!
Here are some tips on how to wake up happy that work for me. First of all, my bedroom is my sanctuary; therefore, it is peaceful and comfortable. The walls are painted in a soothing shade of blue and I have lots of pillows on my bed. I am entirely able to relax in my bedroom. I keep the temperature in my personal, private retreat at a comfy 72° year-round. Sometimes, I use fragrances like lavender or vanilla; and, I play gentle, ambient music to set a tranquil mood before I go to sleep. Occasionally I will have chamomile tea or other herbal tea before bedtime. Setting the stage is important.
Schedule your sleep so that you routinely get up the same time every day. You will want to have plenty of time in the morning to leisurely take your bath or shower, dress, mediate, exercise, and have a healthy breakfast. This should be a sacred time for you (and your family).
Another great thing to do is have either your comfy robe and slippers handy or simply have your clothes set out for the day (prepared the night before). My best mornings are when I have everything ready and set out the night before like my outfit, my supplies and writing materials, my purse, my cellular phone, sunglasses and keys. What makes it even better is having breakfast planned/ready so I can eat in a stress-free state. More often than not, my lunch has been prepared the night before (typically leftover dinner), so that it is ready to take with me out the door. Taking a little time, the night before to prepare for the next day make the following mornings wonderful!
How you are stirred from you slumber each morning is also important. Use an alarm clock that wakes you using soft, gentle, happy, or energetic music whether it is a radio station that plays that type of music or a recording on a CD or mp3 of your favorite music. One of my favorite radio stations is K-LOVE which has some amazingly inspirational music. There is one song that gets me in a great mood each time I hear it called Good Morning by Mandisa.
Another practice that I routinely do every morning that brings me joy is to express gratitude for another day. No one is guaranteed another day; therefore, I am delighted when I am given another morning to live. Too many of us take for granted the time we have to live. I decided that I would no longer do that and I immediately give thanks to God for another day.
Last, but not least, one of the BEST things to do to bring forth a JOYFUL morning is to basically CHOOSE to be HAPPY. No amount of preparation and scheduling is going to make anyone happy if they have not already chosen to be happy. I invite YOU to CHOOSE to WAKE UP HAPPY!

Unesco is pointing to a "mobile reading revolution" in developing countries after a year-long study found that adults and children are increasingly reading multiple books and stories on their phones.
"It can really change people's lives," she said. "We work in countries where there is a serious shortage of books but where cell phones are plentiful ... We are hoping people will realise the potential of mobile reading [as a result of the report], and that governments and partners will get behind not only us but other organisations using mobile technology to help provide learning and books, and help improve literacy skills."

Home Opinions On Point with Nupur Sharma: Interview with the man who exposed Congress party links to Cambridge Analytica
On Point with Nupur Sharma: Interview with the man who exposed Congress party links to Cambridge Analytica
A few weeks ago, the Cambridge Analytica controversy blew wide open. There were speculations as to which political party might have engaged the services of this extremely intrusive data firm, to manipulate the election process and basically, subvert the natural process of democracy.
While it was an open fact, that Cambridge Analytica worked on the Donald Trump campaign back in the USA, here in India, many of us had a tough time wrapping our heads around what really had happened, what data was breached, how it was used, and more importantly, who used it.
The whistleblower in this case, Christopher Wylie, specifically mentioned the Congress party. Soon after, a video of Jamie Bartlett, journalist and author, interviewing Cambridge Analytica's CEO, Alexander Nix surfaced. In that video, a poster of the Congress party was seen hanging on Nix' wall. While Congress tried to refute the charges with fantastical explanations, we got in touch with Jamie and tried to understand what that poster meant, how Cambridge Analytica functioned, and what this massive privacy breach meant for democracy world over.
Jamie rubbished the charges of the photograph being fabricated. He said that the only reason he had filmed the posters, was because it was interesting how Cambridge Analytica was working internationally. He also said that the chance of Congress' poster being there because they might have been 'potential clients' seemed far-fetched considering Nix wouldn't hang a potential clients poster, in his chamber, right above his head, in the same line as Donald Trump who they very openly campaigned for, in fact, they had 13 Cambridge Analytica people embedded in the Trump Campaign.
The conversation also revolved around what implications of technology are, and how perhaps the current form of democracy is not compatible with the digital age and the method employed by Cambridge Analytica.
Jamie was of the opinion that perhaps the Cambridge Analytica issue shook the world because of the fact that millions and millions of data points of millions of people were accessed without the consent of the users. Such data was then used to gain insight into the personality of users in order to target them more effectively with political campaigns.
Jamie explained how Cambridge Analytica makes something called a "universe" and each "universe" contains a certain section of people that can be targeted. For example, one universe would contain users who are mothers concerned about child safety. The other might contain a subsection of people who for example, buy American made vehicles since that also gives them an insight into who they may be likely to vote for.
The most concerning part was that the messages directed at "universe" and the other set of messages directed at a different "universe" may be completely contradictory. The subsections would never know what the others are being told by these political parties. Democracy functions on the notion that people largely receive the same message on the basis of which political decisions can be made. He feared that perhaps this style of political campaigning is the most detrimental to democracy.
He explained how innocuous data like facebook likes is collected to get unprecedented insight into every user's personality. This insight is then used to appeal to basic instincts, fears, hopes, insecurities, etc, to target politically.
In the absence of privacy laws, Jamie also believed that we might be heading towards a surveillance state where a person, without even committing a crime might be in the government radar because all of this data profiling points towards the fact that the said individual might have the propensity to commit a crime.
While Jamie was unfamiliar with the political dynamics of India, when asked if the current Congress strategy, as it seen today might indicate Cambridge Analytica's functioning, while maintaining caution, he did concede that if the assessment of Congress' strategy was accurate, it might point towards exactly that considering Cambridge Analytica believes in breaking the population into easy to target factions too.
The entire interview can be heard below :
We thank Jamie for his precious time, and highly recommend reading his upcoming book "The People vs Tech".

She survived a mass shooting in 2015, and she's sharing her story in a graphic novel
By Alejandra Marquez Janse,
Matt Ozug, Juana Summers
For artist and author Kindra Neely, serenity could be found in part of the Umpqua National Forest.
KINDRA NEELY: There's this little bit of a steep ravine, but then you're, like, right on the river. There was this huge, like, rock cut out on the opposite side that, when the sunlight hit it, it was so beautiful. It just had this really beautiful shine about it. And the water was always, like, crazy crisp and fresh.
SUMMERS: It's one of the places that she loved to draw, to get inspiration for her work.
NEELY: What I love about drawing is that it can do so many things for you mentally. When I'm doing things like comics, especially in the early production of them, it's more of a puzzle to solve 'cause you're trying to tell a story the best way, and how can you make the characters and background work for you?
SUMMERS: And in her debut graphic novel, "Numb To This," the puzzle that Kindra Neely is trying to solve is her own. Neely is a survivor of the October 2015 mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore. Nine people were killed, and eight were injured that day. In her book, Neely tells not just the story of the shooting, but also what it's like to work to heal from trauma even as a steady stream of mass shootings in the United States continues.
I spoke with Neely a few days after the seventh anniversary of the shooting. And a note - our conversation includes discussion of suicide. I started by asking Neely how she was doing.
NEELY: I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would. There were certainly a few moments that were a little rough with the anniversary. But it's been seven years, and I have definitely gained the skills I think that I need to not move past it, but live with it in a way that is, like, still functional.
SUMMERS: You know, there are a million things about this book that I want to talk to you about. But one of the things that jumped out to me is the way that you wrote about feeling violated after a national newspaper published a photo of you hugging your friend Josh after the shooting. And it strikes me that that happened seven years ago. And now you and I are having this conversation. So I guess I want to ask you, what can we as journalists do better? What could have gone better in that moment for you?
NEELY: After a lot of reflection and also hearing from journalists who were there that day, I think the answer is both, and how can we take care of our journalists and also how do we take care of the people that they are, you know, talking to? Because there were several people there that day that I understand they were kind of, like, new to the field, and they didn't receive any care afterwards. They didn't receive any debriefing. And they weren't really instructed on how to go about this kind of thing in a sensitive and caring manner. I think the best thing is kind of the golden rule of like, hey, if you were in this situation, would you want someone talking to you the way that you're talking to them?
SUMMERS: One of the themes that comes up over and over again in your book is - there are these scenes where you're inundated by text messages and alerts every single time there is another mass shooting in this country - the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando; the shooting at a Las Vegas music festival; Parkland, Fla. And when I look at the pages of the book the way you've illustrated it, you're just surrounded by all of these tweets and messages and alerts. And it looks chaotic. But I want to ask you, what does it feel like for you? What is that like?
NEELY: It feels very chaotic in the moment when it happens, and it can be very overwhelming. I think now - in the book, I - it was a little bit more chaotic just because I wasn't really dealing with my feelings very well. And now that I have more tools, it still hurts. I mean, Uvalde especially really felt like the wind got knocked out of me. It's not always like that with every single one. And I do kind of take precautions now just so that way I'm not overwhelmed by it.
I think I've been lucky, with not having a lot of resources, to be able to afford constant counseling, that the free resources that I have had access to - I've gotten very lucky with the people that I've talked to that have been really precise. It's just about recognizing when I do feel that way and kind of just being like, oh, it is OK to feel bad. These are things you should feel bad about. And that helps because then you're processing the emotion, and you're not just holding on to it and letting it fester and get worse.
SUMMERS: You wrote about those struggles openly in the book, as well as your suicide attempt. And I notice at the end of your book, you list a number of resources, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which is 988, and others. What would you say to someone who has perhaps gone through something similar or someone who might be struggling with thoughts of ending their life?
NEELY: I think I would tell them that I don't necessarily know that it gets better. I still have those thoughts. And that's OK because I have ways to deal with them now. It's not - you're not a bad person for having those thoughts. And - but there are a great many people, people that you would be probably really surprised about that, that would be very upset if you were gone. And there've been so many moments that I'm so happy that I didn't miss. And I just can't express how much joy you will feel in the moments when you realize that you didn't miss them later.
SUMMERS: In the book, you write about when you and some friends came to Washington and went to the March for Our Lives rally on the National Mall. And you quote one of the speakers who says, "this march is not the climax; it's the beginning." So, Kindra, I want to ask you, what comes next?
NEELY: I think a lot of work. A lot of work, but it's important work. It's work worth doing, not only with, like, gun control measures. I think there's a tendency for people to say, you can't really care much outside of your own community; there's, like, a certain, you know, bandwidth of compassion that people are capable of. But I don't think that that's true. I think that people are capable of a great amount of love and that we can work together to improve the situation for everybody in this country.
SUMMERS: You and your book, with the idea that listening is a tremendous act of love, it requires patience and humility. And that's a really beautiful thought. And I would just also like to add that sharing your story so that others can listen to it sometimes takes a lot of courage. So I'd just like to thank you for sharing yours with us.
NEELY: Thank you so much.
SUMMERS: That is Kindra Neely. Her new graphic novel is "Numb To This." Kindra, thank you for being here.
NEELY: Thank you so much for having me.
SUMMERS: If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Just those three digits - 9-8-8. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Malaysia's first astrophysicist Professor Emerita Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Othman talks space exploration
The senior fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia shares her excitement about the unknown.
Tan Gim Ean
Learning is a continuous process for Mazlan (Photo: SooPhye)
One of the first questions Mazlan Othman remembers asking as a nine-year-old was: Why is Mother Teresa going to hell? The reply she got — that the India-based Albanian humanitarian was not a Muslim — stunned her. "I was like, what? It was injustice and I used to rebel against all that."
Years later, she would learn that Islam is progressive and accommodating. In fact, Jewish and Christian scientists in bygone days found refuge in Islamic countries, which advanced because of science.
Over breakfast at Ambong Pool Villas in Langkawi, Mazlan, the nation's first astrophysicist, pauses to accept pineapple juice offered by one of the wait staff — "I like it; it has antioxidants" — and lets on that she basically eats what she likes, whenever she likes. "I have no dietary limitations. I know what's good for me but I don't usually do it," she laughs.
When she trains to climb mountains, though, she follows a strict exercise programme. Her last climb was in 2019, to Gokyo Ri, a 5,300m peak in the Khumbu region of Nepal. There was a subsequent trip but she missed it because "I was 5kg overweight. I still am".
Eleven years ago, she had both knees replaced when her orthopaedic surgeon suggested a long-term solution to the pain. "I was running too many marathons and he had been injecting fluid for three years. I thought surgery was logical and for the best. It was not about the body; it's about the mind."
The conversation with Mazlan moves easily from one topic to another, a delightful reflection of her varied interests. For a start, the titles preceding her name are a mouthful — Professor Emerita Tan Sri Dr — but she shrugs them off with ease at the resort named after the merambong (sea lettuce) and looks skywards to the wide beyond that has been her orbit for decades.
Mazlan had been invited by Ambong-Ambong co-founder Amran Ahmed to talk about space exploration and humanity's place in the cosmos to in-house guests. Positively or otherwise, she began, Elon Musk grabbed attention with his SpaceX Starship and talked about space travel, and she proceeded to outline the attractions of that new frontier.

After her enlightening session titled Destination: Mars on Dec 5, guests stepped up to observe the Moon and Jupiter on a night in the week when Mars was approaching opposition to Earth — as the sun sets in the West, the Red Planet rises in the East. Amran muses that it could be during one of these cycles when the two planets are closest to each other, which occurs about every 26 months, that humans would one day set foot on Mars.
Mazlan is one polymath who is at home talking about the earth, sky, outer space and everything else in between. The facts are at her fingertips and she clearly enjoys telling stories about the stars and planets. There are gaps and blanks in the big picture, but they do not dampen her excitement about the unknown.
"When we look to the future, we're looking at 30 to 50 years, and everybody is scared when we talk about that span of time. In astrophysics, we talk about millions and millions of years. Trust me, 35 years is nothing. I'm fearless."
A million years does not mean anything to most people because we are self-absorbed, she reckons. "It might make a difference if we were to stretch our minds a bit and think in terms of the human race, not the self as an individual."
She walks the talk and has done things that are out of this world, literally. The Colombo Plan scholar did her PhD in astrophysics at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, the first to obtain a doctorate in physics almost 120 years after the university's founding. She pioneered Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's academic programme on astronomy and directed the design and construction of the National Planetarium, which opened in 1993.
Mazlan was director-general of Angkasa, the National Space Agency, and instrumental in launching Malaysia's first astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie Sheikh Mustapha, to the International Space Station in 2007. In 1999, she was appointed director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, and in 2009, deputy director-general of the UN office at Vienna.
Now a senior fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia, Mazlan shares that she had never seen an astronomy book until she went to Otago at the age of 20. "I discovered astrophysics in my third year and realised it was what I had been wanting to do: The physics and the aesthetics, philosophy, culture and everything are in there.
"When you look at the universe, you are inspired in all your senses. It makes me feel small and humbled that there is a whole universe [waiting] to be discovered. About 95% of space is still unknown and 25% of that 95% is what we call dark matter. If there is going to be a discovery, it will be in the field of astrophysics because so many things are unknown."
In the last decade or so, she adds, at least eight of the Nobel Prizes for Physics have been won by astrophysicists, for discoveries on gravitational waves, neutrino oscillations and black holes, among other things.
Prof Mazlan before her talk at Rimba Sky, Ambong Pool Villas, Langkawi
The thought that there were only 2,000 astronomers and astrophysicists in the world when she was considering astrophysics as a career draws a chuckle. "You'd think I would be very cautious about being one of them because I might not get a job. But I was young and foolhardy and decided to embrace [the subject]."
Curious is the more apt word for Mazlan, whose name was coined from "Malaysia" and "New Zealand" by her father, who was studying agriculture in Christchurch when the ninth of his 13 children was born in Seremban in 1951. Adults should instil curiosity in the young as it prods them to ask questions and discover new things, she thinks.
"When I went to Orang Asli settlements to talk to children, I was surprised how many of them wanted to be astronauts. Curiosity is inherent in the human psyche. It's what makes us human and want to explore the universe. It's a consciousness that is programmed in our DNA."
Having a guy's name makes her easy to remember and she was often called to the blackboard to demonstrate schoolwork. She credits very wise teachers for steering her towards science in school, despite the pull of the arts. If she had gone down the latter path, she would have missed out on the science part.
"I submitted to becoming a scientist more or less at 15. The idea was I should pursue medicine because the best students did that." She took biology but found it boring, partly because the subject was incorrectly taught. When she found herself drawn to neuroscience, the physics of the brain, she decided to focus on physics.
Some people tried to dissuade her from taking the "too masculine" subject, but she persisted and "that might have had a bit of personal loss to me because the boy I was interested in wasn't interested in someone becoming masculine".
Learning is a continuous process for Mazlan, who saw certain girls getting special privileges at Tunku Kurshiah College (TKC) and resolved to "fight this kind of discrimination when I grew up". She also noticed that the most popular students were those who were pretty, rich and had beautiful clothes. It struck her that privilege should not determine admiration or popularity. "I was not pretty and my father was not rich, so I knew I had to develop other traits, be my own person and rely on talent that comes from inside me."
Academics and athletics proved to be the answer: She won prizes for physics and English, and blazed the tracks. "I was obsessed with doing well in everything. If I had to sing, I wanted to be the best singer. In the debating team, I strove to be the best speaker. I'm sure I came across as very self-absorbed, but I didn't know that.
"When you are 71, you can look back and say, maybe I was too hard on myself in school, always having to be the best. It's a social phenomenon we have to understand and manoeuvre."

Tertiary education in New Zealand exposed her to an egalitarian society that stood up against injustice, and seeing people do that whenever it happened made her "fall in love" with the country.
Childhood was a happy time even though she did not have much, Mazlan says. "I loved books but didn't have money to buy them. I climbed up and down, ripped my school uniform and learnt to sew." The family moved around because her father was in agriculture. Eventually, he was assigned to the ministry and she grew up in Petaling Jaya from the age of 11.
Her father sent her to TKC "to be disciplined", she adds, smiling. Besides, the house had become too small for the brood. It was noisy and there was no place to study.
No, there was no personal influence from the adults over the siblings from young. "It was the survival of the noisiest. The noisier and stronger you were, the better you could survive. My brothers would fight for their food. Everybody had this much. If you were weak, people would take your share. This is being children."
Having two children of her own kept her grounded even as she soared to the stars and solar system in mind and spirit at work. Her son, 41, is an aerospace engineer turned banker while her daughter, 26, is a sociologist based in Sweden. Mazlan talks about planning the latter's wedding, which has evolved from shorts-at-the-beach to a three-piece-outfit affair. "Whenever she asks for help, I always say 'yes', then find a way," the doting mother lets on.
She is also busy working on a TV series in Malay titled Mencari Kehidupan di Alam Semesta, writing the script for the 13 episodes, which she also presents. Six have been done and the show is expected to air at end-2023, only on RTM, she believes.
Whenever she gives talks to the public, schoolchildren, especially, ask about aliens. It is always about the green-eyed men. With the series, she can talk about that in a scientific way and focus more on what the universe is and the concept of life there. This is the first time she is doing something like this and hopes every episode will prompt viewers to ask questions.
Perhaps questions like how one can reconcile science, space and faith. Ask her that and Mazlan says, "When you talk about faith, even the physicist has faith that his principles are true. It is the job of scientists to explain how the universe was created, not why."
The latest theory on the creation of the universe says it was born during one of the quantum fluctuations (the temporary appearance of energetic particles out of nothing). There is maths to show it was plausible. "If you have faith that there was a quantum fluctuation, you could as well say it was created by God because you have faith in that principle happening. Quantum fluctuation is faith in science. It's a belief.
"We don't know why there was so much diversity in the early part of Earth's history, why suddenly there were so many different kinds of life. Scientists and geologists cannot explain this burst of life — it just happened."
Mazlan chooses to focus on the answers science brings, rather than go down the path of contradictions, "maybe because I'm not a deep enough thinker or philosopher". What she knows for sure is that if one wants to go out and talk about space, one must do it with conviction and passion, and be trustworthy.
"People are listening and they can tell if it's coming from your heart or your mind. Your body language, your eyes, how you answer questions — these can come only if your love for the subject is there."
She was able to raise millions of ringgit for space research because "people knew they could trust me. The process is long and they will be looking to see if you know what you're talking about, as many things are new. The ethics of the work must be there. Only then can you move forward."
Mazlan also believes Malaysia must have a voice in outer space. "We do have a space agency, and that's their job. We must acknowledge them.

"But space is something you cannot handle at the national level. I'm always speaking on behalf of the developing countries, not Malaysia in particular. We have to relate [what we do] to the international scenario because there is nothing you can do that can be settled purely at the country level."
Which brings her to the most memorable programme she was involved in during her years with the UN: She started the Basic Space Technology Initiative, targeting developing countries to build up their capacity and capability in space technology.
Looking back on the ground she has covered over the decades, Mazlan reminisces: "If a country really wants to do something extraordinary — and I would say what I tried to do was extraordinary — have a space programme. Call it luck or whatever, I had another thing on my side and that was Dr Mahathir. He was visionary and passionate, and he knew how to elevate Malaysia to the highest level. He knew the future was about space. He and we all knew the impact of space on humanity."
Longevity of policy is important for a space programme to make an impact, she thinks. But for political to work, there has to be political interest first. When Mahathir asked her to come back and set up a space agency, she drew up a plan for 15 to 20 years. "To have a leader who could see beyond the next election cycle was God's gift. That he had 22 years was good in many ways."
All this sounds like seeds for a book and Mazlan smiles when asked whether she has thought of writing one. "A memoir would be better. Someone told me not to write a whole book because my career has not ended yet. She suggested focusing on a specific topic — the astronaut programme, my life in the UN or why Malaysia should have a space programme. I could also write about my philosophy in life, as a woman."
She is not keen to dwell on the successes because that would be easy. Overcoming adversity and major obstacles would be more appealing, as there were turning points and crossroads at which, had she taken them, she could never have turned back.
Is there anything she particularly wishes she had done? "Learn to play a musical instrument." But then, there was no spare cash for lessons while growing up.
"I just love the sound of the cello and feel an affinity with it." She had lessons in Vienna and the teacher told her it was understandable why she liked the instrument: The range of the cello is closest to that of the human voice.
Any other regrets? "I don't know. Every part of my life that was difficult taught me lessons. One very bad marriage taught me many things about life and relationships. I am truly grateful for that even though it was very hard — at the time we were getting a divorce, it was truly hard. But it was one of the best experiences in terms of strength and building your character. So now, I am totally independent — I don't depend on anybody at all.
"But did I regret marrying him? No, because I had my daughter, and she is cool. She's an analytical sociologist. They have all this big data that can tell you certain things. But the data will not tell you why things happen. It's the sociologist's work to see the human reasons behind those trends."

OK but how does that fit in this thread?
Good thing you're used to pulling out.
The point I'm trying to make, the members are already pissed, whether or not the union controls payroll deductions is irrelevant, members see double dues being taken out right after their supplements and master are being forced on them.
Blind anger, whether justified or not in this instance will be focused on the union.
It could be a lot worse. Local 25 stole entire paychecks from part time minimum wage seasonal employees.
Hopefully the union does what we pay them to do and gets this sorted out.
Awesome work by Local 10 to get the issue taken care of instantly!!!
The point I'm trying to make, the members are already , whether or not the union controls payroll deductions is irrelevant, members see double dues being taken out right after their supplements and master are being forced on them.
Who controls payroll is not irrelevant. You're throwing gas on a fire UPS lit and pissed the union can't put it out yesterday. Blaming the union for UPS's actions helps no member.

Perception is reality, first rule of propaganda wars.
A text went out with a letter UPS deducted too much dues. There were members who didn't pay for January. UPS will cut live checks tomorrow Friday for all the affected employees.
Yeah, $180 deducted from mine. Glad I saw this thread and that it wasn't just me.
Perception is reality only to the uneducated. You know better.
I tried to go online to view my paycheck to see if they cut the check yet and the view my paycheck site is down. Says I have no checks to be viewed.
We may know better, but judging by the national voting results for participation, we are in the minority.
The membership doesn't know who's responsible, nor cares to find out, on their own.
Much like if your taxes that were taken out weekly doubled, most people would blame the government, yet UPS is responsible to take them and forward to the government for reporting.
All they see they got shorted money and where that money ended up.


Each week I share a reading photo of the week. This is from my final week before the holiday break. One of my little readers is proudly sharing poems from her poem book with an intent listener.
We have almost chosen our winners for our Mock Caldecott. But, not quite. It will be the first thing we do when we return. Final voting and tabulating results.
It's been two weeks since I posted an #IMWAYR post so this post includes two weeks of reading.
And since I last posted, I blogged. A lot.
An inclusive solution to inviting "someone special" to a special day party.
I reserve a really huge place of awe in my picture book heart for illustrator Jim LaMarche. This book is absolutely stunning. Ode to a season. Honouring nature. Celebrating quiet and focus and wonder. I had to buy this book.
The simplicity of stopping to "be" with all that is around us. So very lovely.
This was the one holiday book I purchased this Christmas. The illustrations are from another time and place. The story is about Marguerite and her quiet life that shifts a little one Christmas Eve. Loved this book.
Twelve year old Grayson is navigating middle grade friendships, the grief of losing his parents and the fact that, while born male, he feels female. A school play and an inspiring teacher provide opportunities for risk, change and understanding. A solid middle grade read.
A YA graphic novel about summer places, family changes and all of the awkward and in between of sliding into adolescence.
I will admit I worried as I began to read this title. Appelt's The Underneath was just too mythical/magical/spirtual for me. So at certain early on points, I worried. But the balance between Chap's story and the racoon scouts, soon pulled me in to this beautiful tale.
I loved everything about Stella – her courage, her determination, her devotion to family and her journey as a writer. A book about some hard and ugly things (racism and prejudice) with lots of beautiful people to bring us hope.
Whoa. A start and don't put down until done book. Dog as hero. Boy with the weight of the world. Honest truths are the hardest because we don't often tell them. Beautifully told. Absolutely gripping.
I love historical fiction when it is really well done – when the story is enhanced by a time and a setting that literally transports you. In this book, well done is left in the dust. This is excellent writing, an incredible story rich with complex characters living in challenging circumstances. This novel twists from the ugly cruelty of abuse to the powerful healing of connection. It offers up hope and courage mixed with lots of pain. One of the best novels I have read in some time.

This is the final #IMWAYR posts of 2015. Happy New Year and Happy Reading to this wonderfully generous community of book lovers. Like many of you, I will miss the participation of the passionate reader, educator and blogger Debbie Alvarez (Styling Librarian) who passed away last week after a three year battle with cancer. Debbie was one of the first bloggers to welcome me when I dove into sharing my reading life in the blogging world. I learned much by sharing with her and I will miss our book conversations.

I haven't read any from your list of bests. I'll have to add them to my never-ending list. Here is what I read last week. Happy reading!
Happy Reading Kathy! Aren't we blessed to have never ending lists!?
I have Stellla by Starlight, a 'need to read', loved The War That Saved My Life-raced through it, and agree that Winter Is Coming is so beautiful. As I said on your 'favorites' post, still need to read The Honest Truth, too. Happy Reading!
Winter is Coming is so gorgeous. I love the language and the illustrations. Enjoy The Honest Truth. Quite the story.
Stella by Starlight was a terrific book. I love the way the author contrasts the hate coming from the enemies of change with the love and community of Stella and her friends and family. And The Honest Truth is also wonderful. The setbacks that the main character experiences only make him more determined to reach his goal. Hope you have a relaxing week of reading!
I agree with your comments about Stella – the sense of community was really beautiful!
I too loved The War that Saved My Life. It's so good! Wow, that was a lot of blogging lately. 🙂 I do so enjoy getting to read your lists so thank you.
I know – I didn't blog as much as usual this fall so made up for it! Thanks Crystal!
As always, my TBR list explodes with just one visit to your blog! So many new-to-me picture books here! I surprised myself by really loving True Blue Scouts last year. I generally hate that folksy homespun tone, but it thoroughly worked for me in this book. I've tried to read The Underneath a dozen times and end up abandoning every time. Not sure what it is with me and that book. Now I've got to find The Honest Truth–I'm all about the gripping read right now!
Well I am not going to be the one insisting you read The Underneath, it wasn't my favourite. The Honest Truth on the other hand . . . wow!
I can spend a good portion of my day reading through your posts! Great books read this year! Have a great year ahead!
Thanks so much Earl! There were a lot of amazing books this year – love being part of a community with such great recommendations!
Gracefully Grayson is one I still need to read.
Wonderful books on your list, such great reading this year. I think 2016 will continue the trend!
LOVED The War That Saved My Life! I'm adding This One Summer to my list of graphic novels to buy for the new year.
I can't stop thinking about The War that Saved my Life. Such an incredible story! Will be a book I consider rereading sooner than later.
I've read all the Mock Caldecott possibilities on your shelves (thanks to your recommendations) except Special Delivery. It's in my book basket. Headed to read it as soon as I post this comment. Currently reading Stella by Starlight, still haven't read The Honest Truth. I must get to this one. Happy New Year, Carrie! Thanks for all the books you lead me to.
I am so thrilled to be able to pass on the book love! My pleasure!
I'm glad to have you back & blogging. It is funny but I miss my online friends when life happens and they can't blog as regularly. And always happy to see a few titles that are new to me on your lists.
Thanks Alyson. Feels good to be back and blogging! I love this on line community of book lovers and sharers!
I passed Gracefully Grayson on to my daughter who also loved it.
You make me so want to read The War that Saved my Life and Gracefully Grayson – most likely in 2016, I will be able to sink my teeth into them. Happy New Year, dear Carrie!
I think you will love them both Myra!
So much here, Carrie. First, I cannot wait to see who your class votes as your Mock Caldecott winner.
Most of the novels you read this week are ones on my TBR list. I might even put some of them on my #mustread for 2016.
List making is a comfort and an inspiration! Lovely that we both share this. I also cannot wait to see how we vote for #MockCaldecott! I will be sharing at the end of next week.


Home » Publications » Newsmail » Intro » Freedom of movement for young people now!
YEU joined and supported campaign of European Youth Forum called "Freedom of movement"; freedom to move across the boarders without worrying about Visa and just focusing on learning experience. Free movement of young people is important because it improves their competences and skills, intercultural understanding, learns them to live as individuals, and provides them with better employment opportunities. Thus, many young people, coming from a non EU countries, are facing lots of obstacles, not just for long term Visas but as well short term, even when they want to attend a Training Course or any other educational activity.
YEU joined and supported campaign of European Youth Forum called "Freedom of movement"; freedom to move across the boarders without worrying about Visa and just focusing on learning experience. Freedom to choose the place where they want to live, language they want to speak, University they want to attend.
I believe there are many of you out there who faced some difficulties in obtaining a VISA. Me as well, hundreds of administrative obstacles and missing papers. This year, YEU will be preparing a collection of visa stories of young people from around Europe and their experiences. If you are one of people that ever needed visa, share your story with us here: write your VISA story, shoot a video or send us some photos... Together we can show to policy makers that Visa regulations have to be changed and more accessible for young people.


It's been a very busy autumn and we've been working on some fantastic properties. Projects have included researching a Georgian farmhouse with some suspected 'goings on' in its cellars, a Herefordshire mansion, a mid-17th century timber-framed house in north Worcestershire, and an old chapel house in Shropshire.
I traced the Herefordshire mansion's history back to the mid-16th century and found that in addition to an impressive array of magistrates, high sheriffs and Members of Parliament, the property had been home to a founder member of the Alpine Club, an eminent botanist who worked at the National Botanical Gardens at Kew, and a housekeeper who warned against offending the fairies at the bottom of the garden. The house history was leather-bound by Ludlow Bookbinders, a new service we can offer clients.
The Worcestershire house revealed an intriguing tale of debt and encumbered estates through five generations that culminated in bankruptcy, a family feud, and a lawsuit that forced them to sell the property. It then enjoyed a more peaceable existence as a farm for five generations of another family some of whom I discovered in a series of delightful Victorian photograph albums.
One of my house history clients asked if I could research her family history and this was a most enjoyable diversion from our normal work. The thing about houses is that they tend not to move about, whereas folk can up sticks at a moment's notice and head off into the sunset leaving very little or no traces of their movements. One mystery remains, but I did trace several generations of two families, found one of their ancestral homes, and tracked down two previously unknown living relatives.
We recently commissioned a new design and style guide for our client reports from Shropshire-based Goosey Graphics and we're delighted with the results. We can now present our research findings in a stylish report that is well-designed, easier to read, and makes full use of all my word processing skills. Coupled with our new snazzy three-in-one scanner/copier/printer we can produce all our reports to a high standard in-house.
Understanding the Past, that is – one of a series of Shropshire Stories put together by BBC Radio Shropshire which featured Building Beginnings. I met up with presenter Jim Hawkins at the Belvedere Guest House in Church Stretton, home of one of my clients, for a three-way interview about the house and my research into its history. The interview was broadcast on Jim's show on 21 October and I was in the studio talking to Jim and answering listeners' questions. An enjoyable morning, some useful publicity and I also learned about newsreaders hand signals.
Building Beginnings is one of the hundred or so home-based Shropshire businesses featured in The Power of Enterprise 2009, a book of entrepreneurial stories just published by Enterprise HQ. Page 41.
I attended a weekend school at the University of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education in October as part of my ongoing training and development programme. The subject was Understanding Title Deeds and we worked our way through increasingly complex original deeds learning how to extract the key information without getting bogged down in the legal terminology. My favourite part was learning how to date documents using their references to saints days and regnal years. Should I ever encounter a document dated the Tuesday after the Feast of Quasimodo in the 17th year of the reign of Henry VIII, I shall know at once that it was penned on Tuesday, 10 April 1526. For this and other similar endeavours, I was pleased to receive a pass with credit.
'We had a great meet at Woore to see the Empress. Mrs Cartlick is splendid about the reception at Woore Hall where H.M. put on her habit, her manner Mrs C says was 'most queenly'. She is still a pretty looking woman with a fine figure and an awfully tight habit, so tight, she descended the stairs at Woore Hall sideways, she could not walk straight in her habit.

Q: My getView method in my custom array adapter is not working can you give me some advice about my getView methood;
I have custom adapter that extends ArrayAdapter(context, id, list)
public class myCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter{

private List obj = null;
public myCustomAdapter(@NonNull Context context, @LayoutRes int resource, @NonNull List objects) {
    super(context, resource, objects);
    obj = objects;

}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return obj.size();
}

@Nullable
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
    return super.getItem(position);
}

@NonNull
@Override
public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
    Task myTask = (Task) getItem(position);
    if(convertView==null){
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent);
    }
    TextView myTextView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView);
    myTextView.setText(myTask.getTaskText());
    CheckBox myCheckBox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
    myCheckBox.setChecked(myTask.getChecked());

    return convertView;
}

}

problem 1 : super: Unchecked call to ArrayAdapter(..) as member of raw type
problem 3 : getTaskText //methood from my Task class// may produce NPE
I would appreciate any help if possible.

A:  if(convertView!=null){
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent);
}

should be
if(convertView==null){
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent);
    }

you have to inflate when the convertview is null. not when its not null. And then return this from your getView() method
Also i can not see getCount() method. It is also very important to tell the adapter about how many items to inflate

A: Change this
return super.getView(position, convertView, parent)
to
return convertView;

A: You have to inflate convertview when it is null.
if(convertView==null){
        convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent);
    }
Also return convertview instead of super

A: I suggest use BaseAdapter, it's basic, ArrayAdapter is BaseAdapter' subclass, In most cases, you do not need to inherit the BaseAdapter, use it directly.
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(context, R.layout.list_item, R.id.text, stringList);

public class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    private List<Task> listData;

    public MyCustomAdapter(List<Task> list) {
        listData = list;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return listData.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return listData.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
        }
        Task data = getItem(position);
        TextView text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);
        return convertView;
    }
}

High Turnout At INEC Offices Nationwide, As Collection of PVCs Begins
INEC Reviews Reporting Templates For Campaign Finance, Party Primaries
ECOWAS Female Parliamentarians Demand Increased Women's Participation In Electoral Process
Published by at May 23, 2018

By Nathaniel Gana and Dominic James
23rd May, 2018.
The ECOWAS Female Parliamentarians Association (ECOFPA) has appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to support its campaign for increased women's participation in electoral processes across the West African sub-region.
According to the association's first Vice President, Honorable Aisatta Daffe, who led a delegation on an advocacy visit to the Commission's headquarters in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on 22nd May, despite the fact that women constitute more than 52 percent of the general population in West Africa, they make up only 14 per cent of the parliamentarians in the sub-region.
Daffe said the association was particularly uncomfortable with the realization that a huge country like Nigeria has only six percent of its women in government. She said even Senegal was more impressive, with women making up 42 percent of its national parliament membership.
She said: "We saw the statistics yesterday for the sub-region. Nigeria, which is such a huge country, has only six percent of women involved in decision making or government. And Senegal has up to 42 percent of its women involved in the parliament."
She said the situation led to the development of a Gender and Election Strategic Framework and Action Plan, which the association believes would help address the identified challenges.
"So, we are here today," she said, "to present the document to the INEC Chairman, which we hope can facilitate a better representation of women in the region."
To be sure, the association wants a 30 percent regional average of women in elective offices across West Africa. She appealed to the Commission to support the quest to make the dream possible.
Daffe also implored the Commission to facilitate the mainstreaming of gender issues into the country's electoral cycle. She expressed the hope that the document would serve as a guide to Electoral Management Bodies in the Sub-region and other public institutions in integrating gender issues in their processes and activities.
Responding, the INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said the Commission was committed to increased women's participation in the electoral process.
Prof. Yakubu, who is also the President, ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC), told the Parliamentarians that INEC was not only at the forefront of gender advocacy in the electoral process, but had also imbibed the principles of fair gender representation in practice.
He said: "It is always a great pleasure to have female parliamentarians from our sub-region visit the Commission. This is very important because for the first time in the history of our sub-region, all the 15 countries are today democracies. Gone are the days when we had one government in the capital and another one in the bush. All the governments are now in their capital cities and are democracies.
"I want to assure the delegation, particularly madam Aishatta, that INEC is a gender-friendly commission. Out of the 11 National Commissioners that we have at the Commission at present, three are women: a Pharmacist, a Lawyer and a Professor. In addition, the Commission's Secretary is a woman. Also, INEC has a workforce of over 16,000 staff and women constitute 32 percent."
He continued: "INEC already has a Gender Policy and we have been working with political parties in Nigeria for greater participation of women in politics and in elective offices. It may interest you to know that we have 68 political parties in Nigeria today and five of them have women as Chairmen."
Prof. Yakubu assured the visitors that the Commission would push for increased women participation in the electoral process, just as he pledged to also extend the advocacy to the West African Sub-region.
He affirmed: "In my role as President of ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC), I am also going to be your advocate in the sub-region. This advocacy will continue beyond Nigeria."
The high point of the visit was the presentation of the ECOWAS Gender Election and Strategic Framework to the INEC Chairman by Dr. Sintiki Ugbe, of the ECOWAS Commission, Abuja.

Today I am kicking of the series of International Christmas Recipes with Arabic Ma'amoul or Mamool. It's a bit hard to pinpoint were these small sweet treats are from or were they originated. They are eaten in greater middle east including Lebanon. However, a friend of mine assures me that they are eaten in Lebanon for hundreds of years which is way ill take the liberty of calling them lebanese Maamoul.
Ma'amoul are small shortbread pastries filled with dates, pistachios, walnuts or occasionally almonds or Figs (I used dried Figs and Walnuts for my fillings). The distinct shape of these Arab pastries can be achieved by using wooden moulds. There are three different wooden moulds with different shapes indicating which filling the pastry has. However these mould are quite hard fo find, which is way I simply made done shaped balls.
Ma'amoul with date fillings are usually called Menenas, and are sometimes made in the form of date rolls rather than balls or cookies.
Ma'amoul are popular in a number of countries located in the middle east. From Jordan, Syria to Lebanon. In the gulf states Ma'amoul are even packed commercial for export. Now let's cover the traditional part. Many Muslims eat them at the night during Ramadan and on the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha holidays. Arab Christians in Israel and other Arab countries eat them in the days before Lent, on Easter Sunday. The Greek and Arab Christian traditions shape the cookies differently; they look like rings to symbolize the crown of Jesus. In Lebanon Ma'amoul are eaten with nut fillings on Purim, and Ma'amoul with date fillings are eaten on Rosh Hashanah and Hanukkah.
Make sure to try this delicious recipe that is a classic in the Arab regions and eaten during Christmas and many other seasonal holidays.

Sounds hilarious, how possible can a stuff look alike remote control be an option of outdoor smartphone? Keep reading, you may agree with my kind of opinion.
There is no suspense Daway Card Phone is prominent for its extreme mini size that only half of iPhone 5's length and 3mm slimmer, which is a natural feature and advantage to take along wherever you go effortlessly. Besides, with an ultra light weight 35 grams including battery, never will it put your luggage to any further strain. How many more easy-to-carry outdoor smartphone than this?
Although Daway Card Phone has no similarity to authentic outdoor smartphone with comprehensive protection, whereas, it doesn't equip itself with ultra large display touch like most of them did, which is most easier to be broke unconsciously. In fact, a smaller one inch screen can effectively reduce potential damages naturally, combine to extreme light weight and strict tailor-made specification, making the device itself not as easier suffering damage as traditional one despite of natural protection shortage.
In case of the device useless once touch screen is smashed, Daway Card Phone particularly deploy physical keyboard like old-fashion cell phone. Don't underestimate this change out of sleekness, as a matter of fact, it has guaranteed basic operation like emergency call when necessary even though the display touch screen is smashed into pieces.
Despite of Daway Card Phone is not the code word of solid protection, it is definitely a tremendous device for liberal phone talking. Such performance is inseparable with multiple GSM support, making liberal calls available whenever and wherever possible. On other hand, thanks to smaller display touch panel, the whole radiation and battery consumption will be reduced by a wide margin, surely the longer standby time it can offer, the more outdoor enthusiast will delighted.
Even though the most tedious outdoor smartphone can provide recreational function, not to mention Daway Card Phone. Owning to 8GB maximum memory card, it is free to stuff any of your favorable audios as many as possible. In addition, you still can transfer more documents in a convenient way through Bluetooth connection, freely can you conceive it a portable extend memory card as well.
Strictly speaking, you may prefer modern outdoor smartphone eventually, however, take superb suitability as well as high cost performance into consideration, it will be advisable to take Daway Card Phone as ultimate option.


Zanshin Tech is a martial art developed for people from 11 years up: it blends together cybersecurity techniques with the principles of traditional oriental martial arts (acceptance, respect for your opponent, serene vigilance, discipline).
Though the discipline was originally intended to help young boys and girls, it has been successfully applied to adults; in children it helps thwart enticements, cyberbullying and on line threats in general. In adults it effectively helps counteract on line scams, cyber stalking, cyber mobbing, etc..
Zanshin in Japanese is the state of total awareness a master should have before, during and after a fight.
The main goal of Zanshin Tech practitioners is to reach this state when using technologies.
Through the analysis of real cases and their dissection in the individual attack techniques used by the aggressor students learn how to recognize the internal mechanisms of cyberbullying, enticements and many other digital attacks such as online scams or cyberstalking, always in the respect of the Rules of the Dojo (the first of which is not to use what you learn to attack other people).
Cyberbullying means little or nothing in of itself: there are specific attack techniques, used to attack a person on line. By studying these techniques and their "counter-techniques", students learn how to stop an aggression at the very beginning and prevent it from becoming a serious problem.
In upper levels Zanshin Tech becomes Peer Education: students learn how to teach, cooperate with their masters, while they keep following their path learning new things, thus gaining self-esteem and becoming increasingly active inside the dojo.
