Q: homomorphisms of B(H) Let $\varphi\colon B(H)\to B(H)$ is an injective $\ast-$homomorphism ($\varphi$-linear, $\varphi(xy)=\varphi(x)\varphi(y)$,
$\varphi(x^{\ast})=\varphi(x)^{\ast}$), where $H-$separable Hilbert space. Is it true that $\varphi$ is actually $\ast-$isomorphism? In other words $\varphi$ is also a surjection.

A: No, not if $H$ is infinite dimensional. In the case that $H$ is finite dimensional, $B(H)$ also is finite dimensional and any linear injection $B(H)\to B(H)$ necessarily is invertible.
For an infinite dimensional Hilbert space you have that $H\cong H\oplus H$. As such the map $B(H)\to B(H\oplus H)$, $A\mapsto A\oplus 0$ can be viewed as a a map $B(H)\to B(H)$. Note that this map is clearly an injective $*$-morphism, but it is not surjective. Further the morphism is not unital, which may make some people sad, but this can be fixed by considering the map $A\mapsto A\oplus A$, which is now a unital injective $*$-morphism that is not surjective.

A: the map A↦A⊕A, which is a unital injective ∗-morphism that is not
surjective somewhat confusing me. Because, in the book Douglas
"Banach Algebra Techniques in Operator Theory" is proved the
following theorem (Corollary 5.41, page 143): If $A$ is $C^{\ast}$
algebra on Hilbert space $H$ which contains $K(H)-$(the set of
compact operators) and $\varphi$ is $\ast-$homomorphism of $A$ into
$B(H)$ such that $\varphi|_{K(H)}$ is not zero and $\varphi(A)$ is
irreducible, then there exists an unitary operator $u$ on $H$ such
that $\varphi(x)=uxu^{\ast}$ for all $x\in A$.
From here we obtain $\varphi$ that is surjection. (A subset $G\subset B(H)$ is said to be irreducible if no proper closed subspace is reducing for all $x$ in $G$).
So, if ∗-morphism $\varphi(A)=A⊕A$ is unital, then      $\varphi(e)= e$, where $e$ is identity operator and hence           $\varphi(B(H))$ is irreducible. Clearly $\varphi|_{K(H)}$ is not zero. So, could you please tell me where I'm wrong?

The next Mama Bear in this spotlight series is dear to my heart for so many reasons. Motherhood itself can be physically and emotionally exhausting, but sometimes the road to motherhood can be even more trying on the deepest of levels. Mindy Painter is a Mama Bear whose dream of becoming a mother took 9 years to fulfill. Last year, Mindy and her husband brought their son Liam home from Uganda, after spending 3 months in the country awaiting final approval. She tells the story best on her blog, Painter Love.
IN A SENTENCE OR TWO, WHAT DOES BEING A MAMA BEAR LOOK LIKE TO YOU?
It is a commitment to open my heart to love and invest in a little human for the rest of my life. It is a sacrifice and total bliss all rolled up into one.
MOTHERHOOD IS STRANGELY POLARIZING IN OUR CULTURE. HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET SUCKED INTO COMPARISON AND NEGATIVITY?
This is definitely a challenge at times. Adoption has given me permission to be unique in my approach to motherhood. It is difficult to compare our situation with others because it is very unique and sometimes complicated. Ultimately, I have to be connected with my child and read his cues. In a way, I've had to become a student to learn what is best for him... and for our family. Others may not understand, but that's okay. We are all beautifully different! Let's celebrate that!!
WHEN LIFE GETS CRAZY, WHAT TRUTH OR MANTRA DO YOU ALWAYS COME BACK?
Life is full of seasons or phases. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, things somehow shift and a new season begins... and then you're presented with an entirely new set of challenges.
WHAT ARE THE PIECES YOU HOLD ONTO TIGHTEST IN MOTHERHOOD? THOSE NON-NEGOTIABLES YOU PRIORITIZE NO MATTER HOW WILD THE LAUNDRY PILE GETS?
Because we adopted our son at age 4, we missed out on years of holding and nurturing him. No matter what is happening, I will always break for snuggles. I love sharing sweet, intimate moments with him. During those moments, I shower him with love and speak words of encouragement over him. I hope I'm planting and watering seeds that will continue to grow and someday bear much fruit.
NAME SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO AS A GREAT MAMA BEAR EXAMPLE.
I really admire fellow adoptive Mama Bear, Heather Avis, of The Lucky Few.

Filner on trade mission: 'speak in English'
Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamante, left, and San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, center, during an April 2013 trade mission to Mexico City, undertaken by business leaders and government officials.
( / Submitted by San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce)
By Lee Ann O'Neal
Mayor Bob Filner's signature brashness was on display during a trade mission to Mexico City, a four-day trip aimed at building business relationships and discussing projects like a planned binational airport terminal and cruise ship arrivals in Ensenada.
The April trip, in its eighth year, drew nearly 60 business execs and officials.
But instead of putting his best statesmanlike foot forward, Filner ended up with it in his mouth, according to an account related to the U-T by former Mayor Jerry Sanders, who now heads the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce that organizes the annual trip.
One incident, which became "the talk of the mission" afterward, took place at a meeting of the San Diego-area attendees and their Mexican counterparts.
"We were in Mexican customs and border protection, and we're in Mexico City, and he stood up and demanded they speak in English," Sanders said.
"I think everybody was a little bit shocked," Sanders said. "I know that the business people were shocked that he would say something like that representing us.
"We'd go to other meetings. If people missed it, they'd say, 'Was there another Bob event?'"
Sanders has called on Filner to resign, saying that city business has ground to a halt amid sexual harassment allegations against Filner.
During the incident described by Sanders, Mexican Consul General Maria de los Remedios Gómez Arnau had been translating for the group. She is the highest-ranking Mexican diplomat in the San Diego area.
"He was very abrupt and impolite to the (consul) in front of everybody," said Ed Plant, a businessman on the trip.
Plant said it was Filner's delivery, rather than his apparent intent, that struck him as off-key. A public demand, rather than a discreet request.
Plant, who has been on two of the chamber's trips, said he was able to navigate the conversations just fine.
"I had no problems. I do not speak Spanish. If I had a question, I asked," said Plant, president of Harborside, a cold storage business that handles fish, vegetables and strawberries from Mexico.
"The thing is that when you're dealing with a foreign country like Mexico they do have their protocols," Plant said. "I don't think (Filner) followed the protocol very well of dealing in international business."
Mayor Filner driven from office" Complete coverage
At another meeting at the American consulate, Sanders said Filner "just started ripping them for not solving all these problems. I mean, very rude, and everybody's just kind of sitting back, saying, 'Whoa.'"
"It was unbelievably embarrassing," Sanders said. … "You could just hear people gasp."
Filner has addressed crowds in Spanish and Tagalog, and at his inauguration ceremonies lauded Tijuana's soccer team, in Spanish, for winning Mexico's championship game. The mayor, discussing his recent trip to France, also told reporters how people abroad lack a full understanding of how integrated San Diego and Tijuana are.
A call for comment to his spokeswoman, Lena' Lewis, was not immediately returned.
In another incident, Filner was set to open a meeting at the American Chamber of Commerce.
On the wall were several flags, including a flag from the state of Georgia that has been mired in controversy over its Confederate symbolism.
"Bob had a meltdown," said Steve Williams, of Sentre Partners, a real estate services and investment company. "Somehow the flag disturbed him, the next thing you know he's giving us all a lecture."
Williams said while he believes Filner is an expert on border issues, he does not represent the business community well. Williams is a co-founder of Vesta, an industrial real estate company in Mexico City, and said he pushed to take it public after visiting the Mexican stock exchange on one of the chamber trips.
"We ought to be making friends, not lecturing others," said Williams. "We weren't there to talk about the flags on the wall. We were there to talk about the Baja economy. It just derails the purpose."

Claesson plus a high pick - maybe a 2nd if we're lucky in this scenario.
I dunno, I find it hard to gauge trades from week to week. We might be way off and it's Brown + Ceci +1st and we all are shocked for a few days.
If the price is Brown, Ceci and a 1st, we just ain't trading for Duchene. That's too much to give up. If it's Ceci and a 1st and a mid-tier prospect, I'm fine with that.
Ottawa vs the Devils tonight in pre-season action in PEI. 6pm start I believe.
Good god all this Trump, anthem, kneeling etc. talk is ridiculous.

Yeah that's how I see it too.
Yep, early start. Is the game on TV? I'm going to be out.
Standing/sitting who cares? Just keep quiet, unlike the stupid Leafs fans screaming "Go Leafs" during O Canada last week.
By the way, speaking of Trump, he's done far worse on the North Korea front. The NK foreign affairs minister said that his tweet constitutes a declaration of war.

wprager wrote: Yep, early start. Is the game on TV? I'm going to be out.
lol good luck with that NK. Their country would cease to exist.
I understand why players do it. Especially in the NFL. Games are nationally televised and their message reaches millions of viewers. Clearly the kneeling is promulgating discussion so what they are trying to accomplish is working.
That said, fans pay to watch sports - not for their favourite athletes' political views. Politics should stay out of sports the same way sports stay out of politics. If athletes wanted to provoke change they should do it during their own free time. LeBron James has done a good job keeping his political views off the court.
Trump has obviously made this personal. How he has not been impeached or shot yet is beyond me but given my travels to the States which have been pretty plentiful over the last year, there is a lot of support for Trump down there. And the support is from the nut jobs which I thought was always a loud minority but is seemingly a much larger group than I thought. It is making me increasingly grateful to be a Canadian.
Yeah, I get it, I am just tired of reading and hearing about it now. I don't care about politics at all.
(also funny that there are soooooo many people against Trump, yet somehow he still won the election. Look like a lot of people didn't vote).
The thing is Trump is widely accepted by poor white people, racists, and rich conservatives who want less taxes and more money. He also got the vote from people who didn't like Clinton. So with those four groups combined apparently it's enough to win keeping in mind that he did not win the popular vote but instead won the electoral college which isn't a fair representation of America. If I am not mistaken there were more votes for Clinton than Trump.

That and as Ev pointed out, voting was a record low. It was well bellow 60% if I remember correctly. The lowest it's been in my lifetime I think. Apathy at its finest.

So, we are almost at the end of the journey here and I am so excited to do so. In my previous post, I demonstrated how to pick up the pieces from the returned data and put them into a single file. That was easy right?
So, after running three tests, I had what you see above and it obviously look like a lot of tweets or sentences but with a few formatting tricks, you could make them look pretty easy to read! Again, just click on that image for a better view!
Go ahead and run the code, add some styling and see what happens.
So, in just a few steps, we have gone from typing into our browsers a url that returned a bunch of messy data from Twitter servers, to digging into the data and retrieving important pieces, and now, we have taken the bold move of making our code more useful – anyone can run it, with any keyword and still get results.
I hope this was helpful to you and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me through the comments section. Let us connect, we can learn a lot from each other!
Thanks for visiting and please remember to subscribe for updates!

the search for an air leak on the ISS continues
The Moscow Region Mission Control Center, according to RIA Novosti, has proposed a new way to search for an air leak on board the International Space Station (ISS).
Photos of Roscosmos
To date, it has been established that the problem affects the transition compartment of the Zvezda service module, which is part of the Russian segment of the station. Roscosmos emphasizes that the current situation does not pose a threat to the life and health of the ISS crew and does not prevent the continued operation of the station in a manned mode.
However, the search for the leak is ongoing. At the end of last week it was reported that astronauts will try to detect the "breach" using confetti – thin strips of paper and plastic with pieces of foam. It was assumed that the microflows of air generated by the leak would cause these indicators to deviate or group in a specific location. Alas, apparently, this method did not give results.
In Europe, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 fitness bracelet will cost 40 euros: the official announcement on July 15
Now experts suggest placing thin bags and films in the problem compartment, which theoretically will shrink in the place of possible leakage.
"A decision was made to open the RO-PrK hatch [между рабочим отсеком и промежуточной камерой модуля "Звезда"]… Experts recommended to look for the leak with the help of plastic films and bags"- quotes" RIA Novosti "statements of an employee of the Flight Control Center.

When I heard The Armchair Squid was hosting this fun bloghop, I couldn't resist.
Together, we're building a summer soundtrack. The challenge is to list five songs that take you back to different summers over your life. Only I grew up in the 80s. So summer music was listened to on one of these.
It starts with the summer of 1986 at Myrtle Beach. This song always takes me back. I hate live versions of songs, but this was all that was out there in video form.
This song takes me back to the summer I worked at the movie theater, watching free movies and hanging out with awesome people. Plus, the line "Don't you make me beg for more" always reminds me that my best friend at the time thought the words were, "Don't you make me late for work."
This song reminds me of my early college days. I couldn't turn the radio on during the summer of 1989 without hearing this song. I bought his first two CDs and listened to them nonstop. Now he owns a rock star academy in Texas. How cool is that?
This one was on the radio nonstop the first summer I started thinking about writing a novel. I don't think any of us really knew what he was singing about, but he has an incredible voice. Plus, he wrote We Built This City and These Dreams, two 80s songs everyone loved. Here's his Facebook page.
Since the summer of 2000, one song has signaled "summer" for me. It's the theme song to a certain TV show.
I'm a bit of a fan, if you can't tell. And this summer, the first summer I've worked from home, I signed up for live feeds. So the house is on all day in the background while I work. This song always signals "summer" for Big Brother fans.
What songs take you back to summers past? You can post your answer in comments here or join in on today's blog hop by adding your link below.
My husband's always telling me that his hometown is the best.
Okay, his hometown definitely makes for some interesting stories. It was, after all, established as a city to facilitate the secret development of the atomic bomb.
But I think my hometown is pretty awesome, too.
It was the home of this guy.
And it's known as the home of this girl, even though her family only moved there to get her close to Nashville...so she could get a record deal.
Taylor Swift and I both went to the same high school. Twenty years apart. In different buildings. But it counts, right?
And the #1 reason my hometown is the best?
I'm going to be part of family night at the Hendersonville Public Library on July 17!
What's the best thing about your hometown?
There's a strange trend I've noticed for a while now. Whether it's on a T-shirt, bumper sticker, or online graphic, the word "Writer" is often seen with the image of a typewriter.
The image of a writer sitting in front of a typewriter is so common, we accept it without question.
For many of us, it likely involves yoga pants or PJs, no makeup, and our living room sofa.
Despite all of this, though, the typewriter continues to be the universal symbol of "writer." So it wasn't surprising when the TV show Mike & Molly chose to throw one into a scene with Susan Sarandon. It was part of the background, stocked with things to demonstrate what a writer would have.
Perhaps Susan Sarandon's character, a successful novelist, prefers using a typewriter. It's possible. But of all of the writers I know, I can't name one who uses a typewriter.

Social Worker Spotlight: Vicki Powers from Paoli Hospital Cancer Center in Paoli, PA
Vicki Powers is a social worker at Paoli Hospital's Cancer Center in Paoli, PA who has worked closely with Bringing Hope Home. Vicki has referred 104 local families who are in need of our Light of Hope Family Grant Program and holiday Adopt-A-Family Program over the past nine years. Vicki took some time to share a little bit about herself, her work before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and her experience working with Bringing Hope Home.
Vicki began her career in Social Work 18 years ago at West Chester University, and continued to pursue her master's degree in Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. When Vicki was 16, she suffered severe injuries from a car accident, which led to her first experience with social workers. During her time recovering at CHOP, Vicki spoke about the impact the nurses and social workers made on her and how the experience inspired her to pursue a career in social work.
Vicki described Paoli Cancer Center as a unique community cancer center. Vicki's job as a social worker consists of many different roles, including assistance and support. Vicki's typical day entails finding financial assistance, by looking for grants that help patients with the cost of cancer care, chemotherapy, and anti-nausea medicine. She is also involved in supportive counseling and monthly care support groups. Vicki primarily meets patients when they are newly diagnosed but continues to see and support her patients through medical oncology and radiation oncology.
During the pandemic, Vicki never stopped working in person. She continued her everyday work while also tackling the new struggles that the pandemic brought to the world. She shared that Paoli Cancer Center put in place limited support which allowed one person to be in-person with a patient. Vicki said that she was thankful for Paoli to allow this because, unfortunately, not all cancer centers were able to allow patients to bring any support. COVID-19 itself, the lack of support, extra precautions, and lack of transportation, were all major burdens that Vicki saw patients and families struggle with the most.
The most challenging part of Vicki's job, pre-pandemic, and currently during the pandemic is having to see patients suffer and progress. Vicki specifically works with adults, many of which have families and jobs. It is very challenging to see patients' lives change so drastically, whether it be struggling with taking care of young children or having to take time away from their jobs to receive treatment. Vicki finds that the most fulfilling part of her job is being able to help lift the burden of these struggles. Vicki focuses on doing what she can to relieve the added financial stress that comes with cancer care and continues to connect the patients with hospice and home care referrals whose treatments are no longer successful.
Vicki first discovered Bringing Hope Home nine years ago, when the organization was still known as "The Great Guys Group." At the time, Vicki met Amy, our current Director of Family Outreach, during a small event in Paoli Hospital. When asked to describe her experience working with Bringing Hope Home, Vicki shared that she "can't say enough."
"Bringing Hope Home is a wonderful resource for families, because of the different needs Bringing Hope Home is able to meet. From the grant program, to the Adopt-A-Family Program, to just the extra support and kindness, the families are blown away to know that Bringing Hope Home is there to help."
Vicki is so grateful to be a part of the Bringing Hope Home community and cherishes the Unexpected Amazingness she and the families she has referred have been able to experience. We cannot begin to thank Vicki enough for being part of the Bringing Hope Home community and introducing new families to our programs every year.

The Society of St Vincent de Paul has been engaging with young people and education since its earliest days. Mini Vinnies are children aged between 7-11 (or younger) who, with permission of their parents and the support of their schools, are encouraged to embark on their first steps as possible "Vincentians for Life" as Mini Vinnies, the youngsters have their own treasured prayer, pledge and badge which guide them in their formative steps – helping and enabling them to becomes in every sense, Mini Vinnies!
We began this wonderful group in our school in September 2014. Miss Caulfield leads the group with support from our School Chaplain, Mrs Sammut. We sent application forms home to children in Y4, Y5 and Y6. The children had to apply for their place and we were very impressed with the applications. We had a beautiful commissioning ceremony and feel proud to have Mini Vinnies as part of our school life. The children were presented with certificates and badges to recognise their commitment to help others both locally and globally.


There's not one day I've not received a call on the question: How to withdraw money from a PayPal in Ghana.
1. Creating a PayPal Ghana account in any of the PayPal compliant African countries where you can link a card like the UBA Africard for withdrawal.
2. Use Xoom – a PayPal money transfer service as a withdrawal platform. Let your payee send your money through xoom, a PayPal affiliate service.
3. Find someone who needs your PayPal dollars. Send dollars to their account and takes the cedis equivalent here in Ghana.
You can watch this video on ways to withdraw PayPal money below!
We'll go into details on how to withdraw money from PayPal in Ghana.
This has forced me to thoroughly research, dig and literally hack my way through the last PayPal in Ghana question standing.
So, Ghana is still waiting to be PayPal complaint, right?
The global PayPal petition and outcry couldn't help.
So let me ask you this question. What is the essence of creating a PayPal account in Ghana, if withdrawing PayPal funds becomes a headache?
Nobody wants to go through that stress.
People said it wasn't possible.
First, how to create a PayPal account in Ghana?
And then, does a PayPal really work in Ghana?
Now, How do I withdraw money from a PayPal Ghana account?
However, there are several PayPal alternative available for Ghanaians. Let's dive in.
Xoom Corporation – a PayPal service conspicuously stands out as my best PayPal alternative for Ghanaians. And I'll tell you why.
It is by far the easiest way to use PayPal by not using PayPal. I know it's confusing but you'll understand me very soon.
Payoneer is not only a viable choice but it also provides you with a US Bank account that you use elsewhere apart from PayPal .
Skrill has been around for quite some time now and standout as another robust candidate for anybody looking to send or receive money from abroad in Ghana.
In this beautiful piece i'm going to show you – not one but several ways to withdraw funds from PayPal.
So let me give you a brief history on how far we've come.
The whole journey started when using a PayPal account wasn't only fit for purpose… but necessary. So i had to find a way to enter that thing!
Glory be to God. After several sleepless night, this guide still remains the ultimate guide for anyone looking to open a PayPal account in Ghana.
It has helped thousands of Ghanaians over the years and it will keep on doing just that.
The videos on there are in twi. But you can find the English version here.
In fact, my goal for the guide was not geared towards withdrawing cash from PayPal Ghana. My main goal was to show people how to do legitimate online business with legitimate international detail.
But probably the economy by then and the opportunity of earning a few bucks here and there to support oneself was more important.
People really needed to make money online. In fact, the ever-popular "make money online" mantra was still trending then.
A way to withdraw money from PayPal became necessary, even though how to create a PayPal account in Ghana was the goal.
Apparently, I wasn't enthused about withdrawing cash from PayPal. Mainly because of exchange rate issues, cashout delays and PayPal fees.
I prefer to use my linked prepaid or UBA Africard or PayPal balance to buy online instead.
'Ama Ghana' was hot and there was a dire need for cash.
So this is where the research to discover a better way to withdraw, or cash out your money from PayPal all started. It's always been with us.
So you sent me. And I went. I think I've delivered.
Under normal circumstances this is how you'll withdraw your PayPal money from your Personal account as a regular user according to PayPal.
Click Withdraw money under "PayPal balance" on the left of the page.
Enter your withdrawal amount and select your withdrawal method.
Review the details and click Withdraw.
Your bank may charge a fee to receive funds from PayPal. Ask your bank about fees for electronic funds transfers.
If the bank is unable to process your request due to incomplete or incorrect information in your withdrawal request, the funds will be returned to your PayPal account (a return fee may apply in this case).
Once you request a withdrawal, it cannot be cancelled.
You'll will equally do same for a business account and here's how.
Click Transfer money under "Money" on the left of the page.
Select the balance you'd to withdraw from and select the bank account you'd like to withdraw to.
Enter the amount and click Continue.
Review the details and click Transfer.
If the bank is unable to process your request due to incomplete or incorrect information in your withdrawal request, the funds will be returned to your PayPal Ghana account (a return fee may apply in this case).
Ghana is on the PayPal blacklisted countries list.
So this method of withdrawing cash from PayPal doesn't apply to Ghanaians, right?
How do you withdraw, or cash out your money then?
Let's remember we want to answer the question "How to withdraw money from PayPal in Ghana"?
So now is the perfect time to dive into the steps and ways of withdrawing PayPal money in Ghana.
There may be many, but these are my tried and tested method and ways to receive money from PayPal in Ghana.
So PayPal this year upgraded one of its US affiliate which is an international money transfer service to help send users funds abroad.
Xoom Corporation, also known as Xoom, a PayPal Service is a electronic funds transfer or remittance provider that allows consumers to send money, pay bills and/or reload mobile phones from anywhere in the world.
Xoom, which was only providing services from the United States to about 70 countries is now doing same all over the world.
PayPal has now integrated Xoom on its website as a way of sending money through your PayPal Ghana account.
Sign up and begin sending money in minutes! Just provide your recipient and payment information and you'll be well on your way to sending money fast.
Xoom claims to be the easiest way to send money abroad. And that doesn't tickle me in anyway!
What excites me is the fact that Ghana is on the Xoom platform.
Ghanaians abroad can send money to Ghana through the Xoom service.
In other words, Xoom as a PayPal affiliate can replace PayPal or literally be used as an alternative.
Don't worry. I'll show you why and how.
A Xoom Ghana account, either accessed as a standalone service or through the PayPal platform does one thing for Ghanaians.
Helps us get money through PayPal.
PayPal doesn't allow you to transfer or send money from your PayPal balance through Xoom but only through the debit, prepaid or credit card linked to your PayPal account.
This is the reason why I think Ghanaians should see Xoom as a viable PayPal alternative and in fact the best alternative.
Ghana is on of PayPal blacklist countries, right?
Xoom is a PayPal affiliate, right?
Just tell your foreign partners, debtors or payees to send whatever they owe you to Xoom, a PayPal affiliate through PayPal and not directly to your PayPal account.
I'll walk you through the process in this video.
If they send it to your PayPal account, you'll not be able to withdraw it through Xoom. They should just use the PayPal platform to send it through Xoom to a cash pickup point in Ghana.
Do you know how RIA transfers work?
Xoom works in a similar fashion.
In fact, Xoom is partnering with RIA to offer their services through cash pickup points in PayPal blacklisted countries like Ghana.
So the first time PayPal sent me an email that it was using Xoom to send money abroad – Xoom could only be used to send prepaid airtime to Ghana.
Until around mid-2018 when they partnered with RIA that they rolled out the cash pickup system in Ghana.
Without much ado, let me not talk more but show you how Xoom will help our cause.
As I said earlier on, my aim was not to withdraw money from PayPal but to buy through the PayPal platform. And I succeeded with that.
When it came to the withdrawing cash from PayPal. I was found wanting.
This led me to find a lasting solution to help all those who wish to withdraw, or cash out your money from PayPal in Ghana.
And the simplest way I've found to be reliable is to create a sub-regional based PayPal account.
All I mean is to create an account in an African country which is not one of PayPal blacklist countries. And a number of countries immediately pops up.
Well. did I mention that right?
Yes did. And you heard that right.
Togo and Lesotho are all PayPal compliant but Ghana is not.
Absolutely hilarious. Let's not get into "which country deserves what" debate.
In this circumstance, I will go with Lesotho.
Why not Nigeria? Well, Nigeria can only send and pay with PayPal but not withdraw cash from PayPal.
With a PayPal account in a "PayPal withdrawal-ready" country like Lesotho, you can then withdraw, or cash out your money to a debit card such as UBA's Africard.
And further transfer your money into your Mobile Money account. A service like ExpressPay is great for that. Especially, if you prefer to fund your mobile money account with PayPal .
Let me show you how everything works?
There are third party services such as COfred, etc.. who claim they can help you receive money from PayPal. How they do it, I cannot really tell.
So my go to method or way to withdraw money from PayPal was the simple barter trade system.
You send me your PayPal dollars and in turn give you its Ghana cedis equivalent.
I recommended this method until I found out the first two. However, it is still viable. The only problem is that, it is difficult to find a buyer or someone who needs PayPal dollars.
Apart from that, it a quick and easy way to withdraw money from PayPal.

Here's the sunset that I posted from my mobile phone a few days ago on Facebook. I finally had some time to sit down to work on it.
The restaurant in the distant is Jetty's a very popular place because it's always busy. Never eaten there myself but I've heard nothing but good things about the place.
The boat picture is the Blue Heron, which is a charter boat that goes deep sea fishing twice a day. I've been on that and it's pretty fun. However not so fun if it's ruff!

Analysis of the European Political Community Misses the Point
Dr. Roderick Parkes
Milan Nič
IMAGO / ZUMA Wire
The recent meeting of the European Political Community (EPC) – a jumbo summit of 44 leaders in Prague – has been followed by two weeks of intense commentary. Given the breadth and scale of the challenges facing Europe, the format was almost uniformly seen to have proven its worth after just one meeting. The main question still bothering analysts is about the relationship that the EPC should have to the European Union. This gets things backwards.
In truth, the European Political Community (EPC) is a platform that performed tasks that a well-functioning EU should have been capable of itself. The fact that most of the commentary in the aftermath of its inaugural summit in Prague focused on linking the EPC to the EU – rather than quietly relegating it from sight and focusing on improving the workings of the EU and how it deals with Wider Europe – only cements the underlying problem.
It is absurd, for instance, that a meeting at that level and of that breadth – 44 heads of state and government – should be needed to achieve the meagre outcomes of the EPC. Its notable results were de-escalating a renewed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia by sending a short-term EU mission to the Armenian border, and some conversations with non-EU states on shared infrastructure issues. The European Union should not need a format like the EPC to achieve such things in Wider Europe.
So why has the EU struggled? There is a very specific issue at the heart of the workings of the EU that requires attention: the relationship between France and Germany. We argue that the EPC is a sideshow of European politics and that the dysfunctional Franco-German tandem is the elephant in the room – or, more accurately, the uncooperative push-me-pull-you at the heart of continental politics.
The EPC Cannot Be Compared to the G7 for One Key Reason
If analysts have been quick to accept the EPC, then in part because the French have a strong track record of launching new international formats and posts for purposes of high statecraft. These include the European Council, the EU's high representative, and, of course, the G7. When he proposed the EPC, French President Emmanuel Macron intentionally compared it to these past formats, most notably the G7, specifying that both focus on peer-to-peer meetings among leaders under a rotating presidency.
There is one important difference, though, between the EPC and all these other creations. Unlike the EPC, the European Council, the post of the EU high representative, and the G7 were all launched with the active backing of the Germans. Together, Paris and Berlin made sure that they focused on the big problems facing Europe and the world. But the past months have found this kind of Franco-German cooperation at almost the breaking point. And that affects the genesis and purpose of the EPC.
There is a risk that President Macron's European Political Community will do for the EU's relations to Wider Europe what his Conference on the Future of Europe (COFOE) has done for the EU's internal reform. That is: not very much. The EPC, like the COFOE, could turn out to be a huge Potemkin exercise. The COFOE was designed by France simply as a way to circumvent a Germany that seemed more focused on itself than European reform. The EPC is quickly taking on a similar function.
At the Prague summit, the French used the EPC in a bid to boost EU cooperation with the British on migration, energy, and defense – a relationship that Germany has blocked. Germany used the EPC to do something similar with Ukraine and Moldova, fed up with a lack of previous French engagement in EU enlargement policy. The reason is simple: France and Germany cannot agree on the course of the EU. Consequently, there is no bandwidth for the EU to agree on change and cooperation with non-EU states. The result is a kind of de facto protectionism by the European Union that cuts the EU off from its neighbors.
The EPC Format Has Not Yet Proved Its Worth
The EPC still has some niche potential to be constructive, independent of the EU's functioning. Indeed, in Prague, it served as a kind of speed-dating hall for the 44 leaders, a means of deepening multiple bilateral initiatives. Moreover, choosing to discuss matters at the highest level that really ought to have been resolved at a much lower one had some benefits. One example was gaining peer-to-peer acceptance for states like Moldova. Just sitting at the table with other European leaders is significant – and likely gave weight to the proposal that Moldova should host the next EPC summit in spring 2023.
Nevertheless, in our analysis, it is still too early to say if this new platform for "informal strategic discussions" should or will stick. The Prague summit set a very low bar for success when just getting EU and non-EU leaders around a table was praised as a diplomatic achievement – even if there were no truly concrete results and no declaration was adopted. Because the whole process of setting up the Prague meeting was rushed, improvised, and chaotic, the EPC is still half-baked: its goal, agenda, and rules of procedure are still to be specified and negotiated before the next summit.
That summit, scheduled for spring 2023 in Moldova, will need to pass a sterner test. It needs to get some energy and infrastructure projects online. That means securing financing. And securing serious financing likely means getting the European Commission to open the purse strings of the EU budget. For the French, attached as they are to the notion of the EPC as a strictly intergovernmental forum, the Commission's involvement could be unacceptable. For the Germans, anxious that EU states will use the EPC to circumvent the EU's procedural rules if the Commission is not involved in Moldova, its absence could be unacceptable.
In the event of active disagreement between Paris and Berlin, the Commission will likely be given a one-off role in Moldova, an unsatisfactory state of affairs. The Commission might then feel obliged to compete with the EPC. Seeking advantage against a rival body that achieves its goals by inclusive means, the Commission may be tempted to act increasingly through protectionism, leveraging the access of its neighbors to the EU economy and financing to achieve concessions from them – another example of EU protectionism-by-default.
The EPC May Be Performing an Unnecessary Function, But Is It Doing Any Harm?
This shows that we cannot simply accept that the EPC has a right to exist and give it time to muddle through: its very existence comes at a cost. Ordinarily, EU policies on enlargement, neighborhood policy, or Europe-wide energy infrastructure would run on autopilot and without the need for active Franco-German support. But the scale of the challenges facing Europe mean that the pair need to actively agree on the way ahead and find common solutions. The EPC superficially allays the need for agreement, with both France and Germany using it to circumvent the blockages posed by the other. Thanks to the EPC, we are losing sight of the underlying issue that must be addressed.
The way that the EPC fosters bilateral relations is positive, of course, not least because it takes some of the pressure off the Franco-German tandem. Elite speed-dating can spawn tailor-made responses by the EU – or by "coalitions of the willing" – to critical situations in Wider Europe. And yet, there are also costs here. Too often, these bilateral relations are now focused on exploiting differences between France and Germany, trying to tip the balance of power in the EU to the east or south. If France and Germany do not resolve their toxic relationship, it has the potential to infect all other bilateralisms.
This can all be fixed in time. But time is not on our side. Organizing the next EPC summit is going to be a huge challenge for Moldova – the political equivalent of winning the Eurovision Song Contest. European leaders have already raised expectations by choosing to assemble in a small state that is directly threatened by Russia, heavily impacted by Russia's war in Ukraine, and looking to the EU for its future. Yet, despite these expectations, France and other drivers of the EPC format are likely to continue to be self-serving and little capable of offering the support that the reformist Moldovan government needs to achieve visible successes for its citizens.
Indeed, Moldova's leadership will probably be on the ropes in spring 2023, reeling from a spike in energy prices and growing social protests that are now being instigated by pro-Russian oligarchs. Hosting an EPC summit at that time – especially one that diverts attention away from delivering concrete EU and other international assistance to Moldova – could further undermine the most reformist and pro-European government that Chisinau has ever had.

When is the best time for Teacher Training?
So, I tried to time a Tech Tools Workshop (see embedded post below) prior to the start of the second semester for our faculty/staff, but despite a promising 6 teachers in attendance during Period 4, I was only conversing with a few others during the remaining two lunch periods. I'm beginning to think that lunch is not the optimal time. Honestly, I would probably think long and hard about giving up my lunch period as a teacher to attend some internal PD, so I don't blame them. However, I think that I have something to offer with these presentations, and I have been receiving positive feedback on nearly all of my workshops and individual coaching sessions. Therefore, I ask, "When is the best time for teacher training?" How do other schools implement technology professional development for their teachers? My next move might be to hold a workshop after school. As a teacher, I might have an easier time focusing and making an effort to attend if it was not in the middle of an already busy day. Summer curriculum projects would be the next move should after school prove to be sparsely attended as well. I'm envisioning a "Technology Teaching Corps" (or some other catchy name) where teachers would serve as trainers and their classrooms would be demonstration environments for new technologies. Perhaps, the summer can be used to train these trainers and use available funds to encourage aspiring technology leaders to attend. Having attended a presentation on how the Maine schools have developed a cadre of Technology Coaches and Staff Developers, I have an idea of how I want to help develop a similar program at Evanston. If you have suggestions or feedback on the topics above, feel free to leave a comment.
Hi David. Two comments--I think the Technology Teaching Corps idea is a good one...it is something that I would personally be interested in being a part of and I am also interested in identifying myself as an aspiring technology developer.
Also, I think that our current PLC time should be designated once a month to attending a workshop on technology. I think this is totally a worthwhile endeavor and though I am sure most would not want to entirely replace the current PlC time with a technology training time every week, I think it's something that, if done once a month, more teacher would attend and you could get your fabulous ideas out above current and new technology for teacher use in the classroom. Great blog...keep up the good work!
Thanks for your interest, and I'll definitely start planning the "Corps" as a possible summer project.
I think that PLC is a good time, and feel free to spread the word about requesting some training from IIT during that time. I'll work on getting the word out for that as well.

Q: How do you make a build that includes only one of many pending changes? In my current environment, we have a "clean" build machine, which has an exact copy of all committed changes, nothing more, nothing less.
And of course I have my own machine, with dozens of files in an "in-progress" state.
Often I need to build my application with only one change in place.  For example, I've finished task ABC, and I want to build an EXE with only that change.
But of course I can't commit the change to the repository  until it's tested.
Branching seems like overkill for this.  What do you do in your environment to isolate changes for test builds and releases?
@Matt b: So while you wait for feedback on your change, what do you do?  Are you always working on exactly one thing?

A: So you are asking how to handle working on multiple "tasks" at once, right? Except branching.
You can have multiple checkouts of the source on the local machine, suffixing the directory name with the name of the ticket you are working on. Just make sure to make changes in the right directory, depending on the task...
Mixing multiple tasks in one working copy / commit can get very confusing, especially if somebody needs to review your work later.

A: I prefer to make and test builds on my local machine/environment before committing or promoting any changes.
For your specific example, I would have checked out a clean copy of the source before starting task ABC, and after implementing ABC, created a build locally with that in it.

A: Something like that: git stash && ./bootstrap.sh && make tests :)

A: I try hard to make each "commit" operation represent a single, cohesive change.  Sometimes it's a whole bug fix or whole feature, and sometimes it's a single small refactoring on the way to something bigger.  There's no simple way to decide what a unit is here, just by gut feel.  I also ask (beg!) my teammates to do the same.
When this is done well, you get a number of benefits:

*

*You can write a high quality, detailed description for the change.

*Reading the first line of the description of each change gives you a sense of the flow of the code.

*The diffs of a change are easy to read & understand.

*If a change introduces a bug / build break / other problem, it's easy to isolate, understand, and back out if necessary.

*If I'm half-way through a change and decide to abort, I don't lose much.

*If I'm not sure how to proceed next, I can spend a few minutes on each of several approaches, and then pick the one I like, discarding the others.

*My coworkers pick up most of my changes sooner, dramatically simplifying the merge problem.

*When I'm feeling stuck about a big problem, I can take a few small steps that I'm confident in, checking them in as I go, thereby making the big problem a little smaller.

Working like this can help reduce the need for small branches, since you take a small, confident step, validate it, and commit it, then repeat.  I've talked about how to make the step small & confident, but for this to work, you also need to make validation phase go quickly.  Having a strong battery of fast, fine-grained unit tests + high quality, fast application tests is key.
Teams that I have worked on before required code reviews before checking in; that adds latency, which interferes with my small-step work style.  Making code reviews a high-urgency interrupt works; so does switching to pair programming.
Still, my brain seems to like heavy multitasking.  To make that work, I still want multiple in-progress changes.  I've used multiple branches, multiple local copies, multiple computers, and tools that make backups of pending changes.  All of them can work.  (And all of them are equivalent, implemented in different ways.) I think that multiple branches is my favorite, although you need a source control system that is good at spinning up new branches quickly & easily, without being a burden on the server.  I've heard BitKeeper is good at this, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

Alison and Frank met with the Under Secretary of State for Health Lord O'Shaughnessy to bring to his attention the cases of Lucy Moroney and Edie Molyneux. Both children are from the Wirral and are battling against DIPG which is a form of brain tumour.
Lucy and Edie have both received local and national coverage in the press for campaigns to send them to Mexico. The Wirral community have got behind both of them to help fund treatment in Mexico.
Mexico offers treatment for DIPG that isn't available in the UK which means Lucy and Edie have to travel with their families all the way to Mexico to undergo treatment there. Their families believe this treatment offers the best chance for them.
Speaking about Lucy and Edie Alison said: "I have met with both the parents of Lucy and Edie and their situation is heart breaking. Receiving such a diagnosis is devastating and the families haven't only had to deal with this but they have also needed to fundraise to travel all the way to Mexico for treatment. They explained to me how hard this has been for them.

There is no denying that the cryptocurrency world has been on a free ride in 2021 and that it is set to finish the year sharply higher than where it began in January.
On the notion that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have gone mainstream, official data has shown that the total value of all cryptocurrencies in circulation stands at more than $2.2 trillion, with bitcoin accounting for about $920 billion of that total.
In 2017, bitcoin became a hotcake as many investors rushed into it; watching prices surged from $1,000 per coin to a little below $20,000 by December, in the same year. Then when the crash came calling with bitcoin plunging low to around $3,500 at the close of 2018, many investors began seeking alternatives. However, those prices recovered, and they waited until December 2020 and hit back to the $20,000 mark.
All the same, experts also hold that the latest pullback is a stark reminder of how notoriously volatile bitcoin and other crypto prices can be while these breakneck swings in crypto prices are probably here to stay. But, the key thing here, experts said, is for investors to learn to stomach them and ride out the inevitable ups and downs.
For the present time, bitcoin trades for just below $50,000, which is an impressive rally of 66 percent from its initial levels in January. But, the top crypto has seen a nearly 30 percent plunge from its record all-time high of almost $69,000 in November.
Trailing in a move to close the gap, Etherum, which is a popular crypto for the smart contracts and non-fungi tokens (NFTs) that have taken the art and collectables world by storm, has a market value of $475 billion with its price quintupling from around $730 per coin to almost $4,000 so far this year.
Nevertheless, as has been relatedly analysed by digital currency experts, ETFs investing in other top cryptos could be in the cards, just like we have several bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for individual investors to choose from.
Nick Elward, senior vice president and head of institutional product and ETFs at Natixis Investment Managers in the United States, noted there may be ETFs for Etherum by the early days of 2022.
"The next possible step is for additional ETFs for other coins to launch. There probably will be an ether ETF in early 2022," he said.
Looking ahead for crypto investors, analysts have noted that come 2022, most firms are likely to keep flocking to bitcoin as a potential hedge against inflation and rising interest rates, which is likely to hurt some traditional government-backed securities, noting that the increased adoption and legitimacy of the crypto coins may help mitigate some volatility which may bring about further price fall, though, not as violently witnessed in the past years.
Anton Chashchin, managing partner of Bitfrost, a digital assets service provider, expressed that, "more than once we have observed a correction in the market. If institutional investors begin to take profits, then it can cause a ripple effect. Even if the source of institutional investor interest is the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), all of the institutional decisions have been made after careful consideration. These firms have come around to the potential benefits of cryptos."
Nick Elward holds the sentiment that more fund managers will look closely at cryptocurrencies, and may be likely to move beyond passively run bitcoin ETFs that simply mirror the direction of bitcoin futures.
"Active is a logical fit for crypto investors. I expect more managers in there analyzing which are the most appropriate ones to buy," Elward said, adding that crypto is a natural extension of the so-called alternative investment world, a group of assets beyond stocks and bonds that typically includes gold and other precious metals.
Along those lines, some experts think that ether and the world's third most valuable cryptocurrency, Binance coin, could continue to gain market share, as against and in competition with bitcoin.
Alex Lemberg, CEO of the Nimbus Platform, a decentralized finance lending firm, said, "You have to look at the utility of cryptos. Ether could eventually be bigger than bitcoin. It's the rails for NFT transactions."

Open Space and Trails
GOGO Connect Initiative Grant
GOCO Connect Initiative Grant
Connecting the Community
It's one of the most-used trails in Castle Rock and provides connectivity from Denver to south Douglas County. The last three segments of the statewide Colorado Front Range Trail through Castle Rock would provide a complete connection for recreational users, hikers, cyclists and commuters.
The Town is partnering with Douglas County Open Space and Natural Resources, Douglas Land Conservancy, Colorado Agriculture Leadership Foundation and two private residential development companies (Terrain-Starwood Ventures LLC and Toll Brothers Inc.) to complete those final segments.
It's official! The Town has been awarded a $2,008,000 grant from GOCO through the Connect Initiative. The program aims to increase access to the outdoors in Colorado communities by filling critical trail gaps, building new trails, and providing better walkable and bikeable access for youth and families.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to be included in the grant application. More than 80 percent of people in Colorado spend time on trails; closing gaps and increasing connectivity has long been a top priority for residents throughout the state.
The Colorado Front Range Trail
In 2003, with the support of many communities and stakeholders, Colorado State Parks initiated The Colorado Front Range Trail project (CFRT). The envisioned network would offer a multi-purpose trail connecting communities along the Front Range from Wyoming to New Mexico. To date, approximately 300 miles have been completed. Once compete, the trail will span approximately 800 miles through 15 cities, 14 counties and many smaller towns.
The Town of Castle Rock will function as southern crossroads for the CFRT. The East Plum Creek, Hangman's Gulch, Woodlands and McMurdo Gulch trails will eventually link travelers from Chatfield State Park to the west with the Cherry Creek trail to the east, and Denver to the north with Colorado Springs to the south.
Project Background & Details
The Colorado Front Range Trail (CFRT) network began in 2003 to offer a multi-purpose trail connecting communities along the Front Range from Wyoming to New Mexico
Castle Rock functions as an essential crossroads for the CFRT: East Plum Creek, Hangman's Gulch, Woodlands and McMurdo Gulch trails will eventually link travelers from Chatfield State Park to the west with the Cherry Creek trail to the east, and Denver to the north with Colorado Springs to the south
Project will complete three missing segments of the CFRT in Castle Rock: an extension of the concrete multi-use East Plum Creek Trail south to connect to the Douglas County trail system and two segments of the concrete multi-use McMurdo Gulch Trail east to connect to the Cherry Creek Trail
Concrete trail will be open to hikers, walkers and bikers
Grant request will be for the maximum amount of $2,000,000 through the Great Outdoors Colorado Connect Initiative program to partially fund the project that will be planned and constructed over the next three years with an approximate cost of $5,000,000. Remaining funding will come from Douglas County, land developers and funding already allocated for new trail construction projects.
GOCO Connect Initiative focuses on connecting existing trail gaps, constructing new, highly demanded trail systems
GOCO grants have helped fund other projects in Castle Rock. Those projects include the acquisitions of the Gateway Mesa, Quarry Mesa and East Plum Creek open space areas; the construction of the East Plum Creek Trail between Meadows Parkway and Wolfensberger Road; the construction of the Adventure Playground at Philip S. Miller Park; and most recently, the construction of the East Plum Creek Trail Southern Extension.

The WhatsApp cofounder Brian Acton jumped on the #DeleteFacebook hashtag on Tuesday.
The hashtag formed amid reports that the data-analytics company Cambridge Analytica harvested data from millions of Facebook users' profiles.
Facebook acquired WhatsApp for $US19 billion in February 2014.
Brian Acton, the cofounder of WhatsApp, the messaging company that Facebook paid $US19 billion to acquire four years ago, tweeted on Tuesday that he thought it was time to stop using Facebook.
"It is time," Acton said in a tweet, adding the hashtag #DeleteFacebook.
The comment from a former Facebook insider is a particularly personal blow to the world's largest social network as it struggles to stem a public-relations crisis following news that Cambridge Analytica, a data-analytics firm with ties to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, harvested the personal data of 50 million users.
Facebook's stock has slid 10% since the reports surfaced over the weekend, and the #DeleteFacebook hashtag has been trending among people upset about the handling of the data.
Facebook acquired WhatsApp in February 2014 in the largest-ever deal for Facebook. Acton left Facebook in September to start a nonprofit.
It's unclear whether Acton is advising others to delete Facebook or just saying he plans to do so. Acton did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment about his tweet.


This elegant villa was recently built on a dreamlike plot of 4000m2 between San Rafael and Puid d´en Valls and offers a superb panoramic view over the Mediterranean landscape and the sea. The villa has a living space of 520m2. Furthermore there are open and covered sun terraces, a fabulous swimming pool as well as a lovely well kept palm garden. The living area is divided into a spacious living- and dining room with open fire place, a fully fitted kitchen, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a home cinema as well as two additional rooms which could be used as a gym, a guest room or as an office. Furthermore the residence has a licence for a separate guest house of 50m2. Ibiza Town with its exquisite restaurants, bars and shops is only view minutes car ride away.

Djoon (2006) – Gorgeous
His debut album, Djoon (2006), was an entirely DIY and solo album. Soon joined by a backing band for a first tour in and around Paris, he recorded Holy Mornings (2010), distributed in France by the Label Mosaïc Music.
Holy Mornings (2010)
After moving from Paris to Toulouse, he toured solo for a while, built a new projet studio, founded the label Gorgeoussound Records, and then looked for new musicians. Marc on the drums, Jerome on the bass guitar, and, later, David on the lead guitar joined in for a 3rd album called « Sold Out » (2015). His also recorded and mixed different projects for his friends.
Sold Out (2015) – Gorgeous (recorded with The Fabulous Awkward Boys)
4 years later, and after playing in numerous gigs in the south-west of France, the band recorded 5 new songs to release in an EP album. They eventually decided to take the real-band name « The Fabulous Awkward Boys » for this occasion…mainly because the name 'Gorgeous' had originally been chosen for a single-songwriter and because it caused some kind of misunderstanding on the web.

Il distretto di Mueang Chiang Mai (in thai อำเภอเมืองเชียงใหม่; trascrizione RTGS: Amphoe Muang Chiang Mai) è il distretto capoluogo (Amphoe Muang) della Provincia di Chiang Mai, nel gruppo regionale della Thailandia del Nord. Al suo interno si trova l'importante città di Chiang Mai, dove hanno sede il governo distrettuale e provinciale.

Storia
L'area del distretto di Mueang Chiang Mai fu la parte centrale del Regno di Lanna, chiamata Nopphaburi Si Nakhon Ping Chiang Mai. Re Mengrai fondò la città alla fine del XIII secolo. In seguito il regno Lanna divenne vassallo della Birmania e quindi dei regni siamesi di Thonburi e Rattanakosin. Nel 1802, il regno Lanna fu ribattezzato Regno di Chiang Mai, tributario del Siam (antico nome della Thailandia). Con l'annessione al Siam del regno di Chiang Mai, il nuovo governo istituì il distretto nel 1899. La prima sede del governo distrettuale fu aperta nel 1929. La nuova sede fu inaugurata nel 1989.

Geografia
I distretti confinanti sono Mae Rim, San Sai, Sam Kamphaeng, Saraphi e Hang Dong.

Amministrazione
Il distretto di Mueang Chiang Mai è diviso in 16 sotto-distretti (Tambon), che sono a loro volta divisi in 78 villaggi (Muban)

The cost of research includes both direct and indirect costs. Indirect costs include maintaining the research space and libraries; cost of utilities for that space; management and administration of research, finances, regulatory requirements and compliance; and liability insurance amongst other costs. It is difficult to assign these indirect costs to specific projects since the costs are shared across projects.
The Research Support Fund (RSF) replaced the Indirect Cost Program (ICP) in April 2015. The transition of the Indirect Costs Program to the Research Support Fund is in response to the Economic Action Plan 2013, in which the government committed to examining the Indirect Costs Program, in consultation with the postsecondary sector, to ensure that the program was meeting its objective of reinforcing excellence in postsecondary research.
The Research Support Fund (RSF) is a Government of Canada funding program to assist Canadian post-secondary institutions in offsetting some of the indirect costs involved in administering the research funded by the three granting agencies:
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
The funds provided are to assist with expenses in five major categories:
Research Facilities,
Management & Administration,
Research Resources,
Regulatory Requirements and
Intellectual Property. RSF grants are allocated annually based on a 3-year rolling average of an institution's Tri-Agency revenue.
For more information about the program and eligible expenses, please click on the links below.
RSF at Nipissing University
The value of Nipissing University's Indirect Costs allocation varies from year to year and is based on a percentage of the university's total funding received from the Federal Granting Agencies; SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR. The allocation is calculated using a three-year rolling average formula. For example, the 2013-2014 allocation is calculated by using the average of the 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 Federal funding awards for Nipissing University. The funds must be used between the period of April 1 and March 31 of every year. No carryover or deferral of funds is permitted.
Impact of the Research Support Fund at Nipissing University
The Research Support Fund is important to Nipissing University as it provides base level support for research activities conducted at the university. The following are examples of how funds from the program are used:
Support of Nipissing University's regulatory compliance bodies such as the Animal Care Committee, Research Ethics Board and Biosafety.
Support for research accounting services including financial audit costs, financial reporting and purchasing activities.
Contributions to operating costs for custodial, security, maintenance, utilities and other expenses required to maintain the research wing.
Support for grant management and administration including regulatory compliance.
Contributions to support the Technology Transfer office for effort in bringing research to commercialization and protection of Intellectual property.
Contributions to the management and administration of research services and facilities.
Institutional Objectives
The institutional objectives may change from year to year depending on the expected use of the Research Support Fund.

Q: Exception in the case of Overriding As we know that in the case if method overriding If child class method throws some checked exception then compulsory parent class method should throw same checked exception or its parent class exception otherwise we will get compile error. But there is no rule on un-checked exception.
But if assume that Java allows parent class method to have checked exception which is child to the child class method checked exception.
Can some one please why this is not allowed in the Java.

Let put the question in a different way :
you have class A -
class A {

    public void doStuff() throws SQLException {

    }
}

and class B extends A -
class B extends A {

    public void doStuff() throws Exception {

    }
}

It will throw exception during compilation because of violation of the method's contract.
Assume that the Java would allows this then what would be the consequences ?

A: I suppose you are asking why I cannot do this:
class Parent {
    void doStuff() throws FileNotFoundException {

    }
}

class Child extends Parent {
    @Override
    void doStuff() throws IOException {

    }
}

This is simple, what happens when I do:
final Parent parent = new Child();

try {
    parent.doStuff();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

And the Child decides to throw a, say SocketException?
I, correctly, try and catch FileNotFoundException from the call parent.doStuff but this will not catch the SocketException.
How I have an uncaught checked exception. This is not allowed.
If I specifically try and catch SocketException this will result in a compiler error as SocketException is not declared as thrown from Parent.doStuff.
The only way to solve this in the general case would be to always catch Exception as any child class can declare that it throws a more general type and bypass my catch.  This is obviously not ideal.

A: The throws clause is part of the signature of a method, and in order to override a method, the overriding method must have the same signature as the overriden method.
Therefore, if class B extends class A and A defines :
public void foo (int param) throws SomeException
{
    ....
    if (something)
        throw new SomeException ();
    ....
}

Then B can only override foo by using the same signature :
public void foo (int param) throws SomeException
{
    super.foo(param);
    ....
    if (something)
        throw new SomeOtherException ();
    ....
}

SomeOtherException must be a sub-class of SomeException, since that's the type of exception the method signature allows to throw. If the overriding method would attempt to throw an exception of a type which is a super class of SomeException, it would violate the method's contract.
Let's declare some class hierarchy of exception classes :
SuperException
    SomeException
        SomeOtherException
    AnotherSomeException

What you propose (Java allows parent class method to have checked exception which is child to the child class method checked exception) would allow the overriding method in the child class to throw any exceptions of type SuperException, which would allow it to throw AnotherSomeException. This violates the method's signature, since AnotherSomeException is not a sub-class of SomeException.
To expand on my comment, lets consider what would happen if Java allowed what you propose.
Suppose class C has a method bar that accepts an instance of class A and calls the method foo.
public class C
{
    ....
    public void bar (A a)
    {
        try {
            a.foo ();
        }
        catch (SomeException ex) {
            ....
        }
    }
}

Since foo is declared to throw SomeException, any code that calls foo must handle this exception or declare that it may throw this exception. Now, if Java would allow B to override foo, but change its declaration to public void foo() throws Exception, the implementation of foo in B may throw any sub-class of Exception. Since bar doesn't even know that B exists, it doesn't know it has to catch any exception other than SomeException and its sub-classes. Therefore the compiler can't mark this code as an error, but if the caller of bar would pass to it an instance of B, the code would become invalid only in runtime, since it may throw a checked excpetion that is neither caught nor declared by bar. That's why Java doesn't allow you to change the throws clause when you override a method.

A: An overriding method can not throw a checked exception if it is not specified in the parent class. The reason is, that you want to be able to use an instance of the subtype wherever you can pass the supertype, i.e., your subtype needs to behave the same way your supertype does. However, if your subtype can throw an exception, then it does not behave the same way: it can throw an exception. The same is true for unchecked exceptions, but, as the name already tells us, they are not checked by the compiler, so this is just not inforced statically.
I suggest you have a look at the Liskov substitution principle.
Example on why it would be bad for a subclass to throw an Exception where the superclass does promise to not throw an exception:
class Animal {
  void eatMeat() {System.out.println("eating meat");}
}

class Zebra extends Animal {
  void eatMeat() throws IsVegetarianException {throw new IsVegetarianException(); }
}

Well... maybe your Zebra isn't an animal, or the interface of Animal is too broad. Maybe not all Animals eat meat. By the way: This happened in various Java collection interfaces. They solve this by throwing the unchecked NotSupportedException, but it is just a flaw in the design, for which there exists no good solution other than changing the design.

A: I may not be correct, but I think you are asking why superclass A cannot extend subclass B who extends class A.
This cannot exist because there is lack of clarity over which is the parent class.

A: If you override a method with no throw declaration, you can throw a RuntimeException or a subclass without declaration.
class A {
    public void run() {

    }
}

class B extends A {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        throw new RuntimeException("throw without declaration");
    }
}

From the javadoc:

RuntimeException and its subclasses are unchecked exceptions.
  Unchecked exceptions do not need to be declared in a method or
  constructor's throws clause if they can be thrown by the execution of
  the method or constructor and propagate outside the method or
  constructor boundary.

A: Because throws SQLException really means "throw only SQLException" or in other words don't throw anything except SQLException
So, if you throw something else you'll broke that contract. On the other hand you can make it other way around
class A {

    public void doStuff() throws Exception  {

    }
}

class B extends A {

    public void doStuff() throws SQLException {

    }
}

because you just make more strict contract that way.

Q: How to use zfill as increment counter in python? I want to start count as 00000_keypoints, 00001_keypoints....
c = 0
{my code}
c += 1

How can i do using zfill? As zfill works only on string.

A: You don't need zfill:
s = f"{c:05d}_keypoints"

A: You can use either f-string (I'd recommend) or zfill
for i in range(n):
    name1 = f"{i:05d}_keypoints"
    name2 = "{}_keypoints".format(str(i).zfill(5))
    print(name1, name2)
    # your code here

A: I found a way to work it out using zfill. Thanks.
f"{str(c).zfill(5)}_keypoints"

88mph to fund SA start-ups
By Craig Wilson	 28 November 2012 3 Comments
Kresten Buch
A new, privately funded venture fund and start-up accelerator, 88mph has been launched in Cape Town to invest in early-stage start-ups and help them grow rapidly.
88mph wants to fund start-ups focused on online or mobile that have the ability to grow quickly across other English-speaking African countries. It will invest as much as US$100 000 in each start-up and the share of equity it takes will depend on the valuation of the company it's investing in.
"The start-ups we look at are often small teams who lack experience and the networks necessary to quickly grow their businesses," says 88mph founder Kresten Buch. "They often struggle to focus on their product and customers due to the multitude of other things that need time and attention, like administrative tasks, office-related issues and finding follow-on investment."
88mph has formed a partnership with Google to provide start-ups with office space and digital resources. There's a mentor network and seven "entrepreneurs-in-residence" will be on hand during a three-month accelerator phase to offer advice on everything from sales to programming and Web design.
At the end of the accelerator period, start-ups will get to present their ideas to a group of investors.
Earlier this year, 88mph invested in eight start-ups in Kenya's capital, Nairobi. That three-month accelerator is coming to an end and the start-ups will be presenting their products and services to investors in mid-December.
Increasing use of mobile data in Africa has created huge demand for local applications and services that cater to the young and growing middle classes, says Buch. He says 88mph is designed to fund start-ups wanting to grab a portion of this growing market.
To date, 88mph has invested more than $500 000 in 15 early-stage start-ups. With a new fund nearly closed, the programme hopes to invest in more than 10 South African start-ups.
"I think the biggest opportunities for return on investment will be in Africa and other emerging markets," Buch says. "Our accelerator programme is a great opportunity for international technology entrepreneurs and 'returning diaspora' to come, take advantage of the insane growth here, and work on solving some really interesting problems."
Those looking to apply to 88mph must do so by 15 December 2012 and the programme starts at the beginning of February in Cape Town. — (c) 2012 NewsCentral Media
