Cave of Trials (GBA) from Final Fantasy IV.
Bonus dungeon (エクストラダンジョン, Ekusutora Danjon?, lit. Extra Dungeon), also known as secret dungeon or optional dungeon, is an optional location that is usually much more difficult than the main game with enemies that are much higher level than on other parts of the game. These dungeons are considered sidequests and often contain the most powerful equipment and, sometimes, summons that can only be obtained by completing the dungeon. The boss fought at the end of a bonus dungeon is often a superboss.
A game can have multiple bonus dungeons. Bonus dungeons are common features added to remakes of older games, to give experienced players new material to test their skills against, and to make the remake more lucrative purchase for people who have already completed an earlier version of the game.
Earthgift Shrine on the world map.
Soul of Chaos is the collective name of the four bonus dungeons originating in the Dawn of Souls version that reappear in the 20th Anniversary Edition and iOS versions. The Android version doesn't have any bonus dungeon.
Each dungeon is tied to one of the four worldly elements and are initially sealed by a statue of their element's respective Chaos Fiend. Each dungeon, with the exception of Earthgift Shrine, is significantly longer than any in the main game. Major bosses from later games in the series are fought in the shrines, and the dungeons include many new and powerful pieces of equipment, as well as enemies that were not in the original game.
The Labyrinth of Time is the new bonus dungeon in the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary and iOS versions. It consists of various floors, each one containing puzzles that must be solved on time for the player to proceed. At the deepest floor players will face Chronodia, Master of Time, the new superboss.
The Soul of Rebirth is a bonus quest in the Dawn of Souls, 20th Anniversary, and iOS versions. It becomes available after completing the game, after which the player can select "Soul of Rebirth" from the menu. Soul of Rebirth gives the player a party consisting of three party members they had in the past, with the addition of Scott, who join with whatever spells, equipment and stats they had when they left the party. Each of the characters' ultimate weapons can be found in the dungeon, and at the end of the quest, the player faces the light half of the Emperor.
There are numerous optional areas that provide the party with valuable items, including weapons, armor, and spells.
Located underwater the small island to the extreme southeast of the Surface World, the party will need to dive with the Nautilus. The Sunken Cave has a wealth of chests containing lots of equipment and a few items.
This optional area is accessible from underwater in the southeast part of Saronia. The party can fight Odin here obtain the Summon spell Catastro, and steal the Gungnir from him, as well pick up some equipment and items from chests.
Lake Dohr is to the west of Castle Argus over a small mountain range, requiring the Invincible to reach. The party can fight Leviathan here to obtain the summon spell Leviath. The treasure chests here contain a wealth of attack items, as well as some equipment.
The cave itself is located to the southeast of Vikings' Cove, but the player must cross the mountains to the east of Bahamut's Lair on the Invincible to reach the entrance. The party can fight Bahamut here to obtain him as a summon.
Eureka contains some of the best equipment. A gateway to it can be found at the bottom floor of the Crystal Tower, but the Eureka Key is required. Doga and Unei unlock the Eureka Key, and give it to the Warriors of Light, granting them access to Eureka, knowing they need better equipment to fight Xande.
??? is an unnamed, secret underwater dungeon present in the 3D remakes. To unlock the dungeon, the player must finish the Mognet sidequest and retrieve every single letter. Located in the cave is Red Dragon, Green Dragon and Yellow Dragon, which have Onion equipment as their common and rare drops, and a secret superboss, the Iron Giant.
Lair of the Father is an optional dungeon in all versions, where the player can acquire the Eidolon Bahamut. The player can visit the cave as soon as they acquire the Lunar Whale and fly to the Red Moon.
The Cave of Trials is a bonus dungeon appearing in the Advance and Complete Collection releases. The dungeon has eight floors and the final floor contains five weapons guarded by bosses, one for each of the five party members players can swap out. The weapon can only be acquired if the correct member to wield it is in the party. Each of these weapons correspond to the characters who become available after the Giant of Babil to put them on-par with the rest of the group, who can acquire their ultimate weapons in the Lunar Subterrane. However, still stronger weapons can be acquired in the Lunar Ruins.
Lunar Ruins is a bonus dungeon in Final Fantasy IV Advance and Complete Collection, unlocked by completing the game. The floors are randomized with ten sets of floors of which the sequence of the sets of floor is fixed. In each set, there are five normal floors and a a sixth gate floor, which contains a save point and a door to each playable character's challenge, except for the tenth set, which leads to Zeromus EG, a new superboss.
The mobile phone version has an all new "EX Dungeon", which is a remake of the Lunar Ruins.
Every character with their own tale has a Challenge Dungeon. They become available to explore by talking to Challengingway after the tale has been cleared. The Challenge Dungeons are difficult multi-floor dungeons with powerful enemies and often bosses, but for completing them the player receives a rare item or equipment piece. Challenge Dungeons must be completed multiple times to win all the items they offer.
These dungeons are not available in the 3D versions.
Gil Cave exists only in the second world connecting the Kingdom of Bal to the mainland entrance of the Big Bridge. By following a hidden path in the south of the cave, one can find the Gil Turtle Path. It houses a great treasure of gil, as well as dangerous and extremely powerful Gil Turtles, which are usually encountered every third step. The path may be completed multiple times for more gil.
The Phoenix Tower is a thirty floor tower found in the merged world. There are two doors in every floor: one will unfold the stairwell to the next floor, while the other is guarded by a random monster. Every five floors there will be pots on the right and left sides and one will contain an amount of GP equal to the floor number multiplied by 1000, and the other is revealed to be a Magic Pot.
All other encounters apart from the Magic Pots are inescapable and the enemies tend to hit the party with strong status ailments. Completing the tower awards the Phoenix summon.
The Sealed Temple is a secret dungeon in the Advance version. It is located underwater, south of Phantom Village, and contains four crystal shards with the jobs of Cannoneer, Gladiator, Oracle, and Necromancer, although the last lies at the end of the Cloister of the Dead. In the temple the players can find the strongest enemies and bosses of the game, including Omega Mk.II and Neo Shinryu.
In the World of Ruin visiting any areas after obtaining the airship is optional, but doing the areas lets the player recruit new and old party members and obtain espers. Many players consider the recruiting of all playable cast before the final battle as canon, and therefore most areas in the World of Ruin are not really considered sidequests or bonus dungeons.
The Cultists' Tower was built and is inhabited by the Cult of Kefka, a group that worships Kefka Palazzo. The tower is the tallest structure in the game with dozens of floors over four screens of staircases. All offensive commands, except Magic, are sealed, and unless Umaro is brought along, the party is limited to the use of spells and items in battle. At the top lies the unique relic Soul of Thamasa, but taking it causes leader of the cult, the Magic Master, to attack the player.
There are no save points in the tower, and the Holy Dragon, one of the eight legendary dragons, resides in one of the tower's treasure rooms.
Ebot's Rock is located north of the town of Thamasa in the World of Ruin. Hidon, a beast that was hunted by Strago and Gungho in their youth, lives there. The cave is dark, and the player only has a small circular area of sight. The player must travel throughout Ebot's Rock, collecting enough Coral from treasure chests that a talking treasure chest will move allowing access to Hidon's chamber. The player can learn Strago's most powerful Lore from it.
Dragon's Den on the world map.
The Dragons' Den is a bonus dungeon in the Advance and subsequent ports located north of the Dragon's Neck Coliseum on an island with a single tree. Access is given once the player has defeated the eight legendary dragons. The player can obtain the most powerful equipment pieces in the game in the den, guarded by the most powerful bosses.
Soul Shrine on the world map.
The Soul Shrine is a bonus dungeon in the Advance and subsequent ports located on a small island near Mobliz. The shrine becomes available after the Dragons' Den and the main story have been completed. The Soul Shrine contains a series of 128 battles against most of the enemies and bosses, including the new dragons from the Dragons' Den.
Ancient Forest is located in the Cosmo Area accessed with a green, black or gold chocobo, or by defeating Ultimate Weapon first. In the forest the player must solve some puzzles to find rare Materia and weapons.
The sunken Gelnika is a crashed airplane that lies on the Bottom of the Sea to the south of Costa del Sol. The plane can be accessed after the player has acquired the submarine. Even after sinking to the ocean floor, the plane's interior keeps from flooding, allowing for one to enter the sunken aircraft from the ocean. Gelnika holds some of the most difficult random encounters, and also some of its best treasures.
Tomb of the Unknown King.
The Tomb of the Unknown King is a location near Deling City, and by doing the sidequest inside the player can obtain the Guardian Force Brothers. Most of the areas are tunnels, making the tomb appear straightforward, but if the player backtracks, the viewpoint will change, potentially confusing the player. The player will immediately drop a SeeD rank if s/he decides to venture out of the tomb before his/her objective is fulfilled.
The Centra Ruins is on the Centra continent. Upon entering the ruins, a timer begins and the party must find a series of red gemstones and place them in the eyes of statues to acquire the secret code to access the room where Odin is fought. The Tonberry King also appears randomly once 20 or more Tonberries have been killed. Defeating him earns the player Tonberry as a Guardian Force.
The Deep Sea Research Center is a hidden island far out in the middle of the ocean, in the very southwest corner of the world map. It is an abandoned, half-sunken laboratory formerly used to research draw effects. In the first area the player must face Bahamut, and after defeating him and earning him as a Guardian Force, the player can advance deeper into the ruins after leaving and returning.
Some of the toughest opponents are fought on the way to the bottom, and on the last floor the player faces Ultima Weapon, who has the most powerful Guardian Force, Eden.
The Cavern of the Stolen Fayth.
The Cavern of the Stolen Fayth is located in a gorge to the north of the Calm Lands, near the entrance to Mt. Gagazet. The cave hides a fayth that legend says was stolen long ago to prevent summoners from completing their pilgrimage. At the end of the cavern, the players fight a boss, and get the chance to recruit Yojimbo as an aeon for Yuna. In the International and HD Remaster versions, the party can fight Dark Yojimbo after obtaining the aeon, leaving and reentering the dungeon.
The Omega Ruins is a large dungeon located within a small group of islands to the east of Spira's main continent. Unlike many of the other locations, the cave must be mapped by the player. At the end of the cave, two deadly bosses await the party: Ultima and Omega Weapons.
Because of the game's non-linear nature many areas and missions are optional. Completing most of the areas is still needed for 100% story completion, although some areas are truly optional, and do not affect story completion.
The Ruin Depths is an optional dungeon in the Calm Lands, situated behind and on a lower level than the Calm Lands Ruins. Unlike most areas, the Ruin Depths does not have a mini-map, and contains some rare and unique treasures. The dungeon must be unlocked to enter in a complicated process of chocobo raising and exploration.
The boss of the area is the Anything Eater. Once it is defeated, all five sets of locked doors are unlocked; once they are manually opened, the final door giving access to the Amazing Chocobo is unlocked. A Garment Grid with the constant ability of Break HP Limit is the prize for getting to the Amazing Chocobo. The Ruins are not part of 100% completion or the main quest.
The Fiend Colony is an optional dungeon located on the Mi'ihen Highroad. The player must dispatch a level four or five chocobo to the highroad from Clasko's Chocobo Ranch during Chapter 5 to access it. To travel through the dungeon, the player will need to destroy stone walls with bombs. Once the player reaches the back of the cave, they will fight the King VERMIN!. Defeating him gets the party a new Garment Grid. Completing Fiend Colony is not needed for 100% story completion.
Den of Woe is a hidden cave in the Mushroom Rock Ravine accessed if ten Crimson Spheres are collected. Many of the spheres have special requirements to be obtained and are well hidden. The Den of Woe contains no treasure, but has some boss battles. Although Den of Woe is a sidequest, unlocking and entering the Den is necessary for 100% completion.
Via Infinito is a 100-floor dungeon beneath Bevelle. In the final cloister the party can challenge the superboss, Trema. For each cloister block of 20 floors, there are about 6 level designs which appear at random as each one is completed. The dungeon is swarming with monsters, and equipping a Charm Bangle for No Encounters will have no effect. Every oversoulable fiend, except for the Georapella and Precepts Guard, can be found here. Valuable spheres and accessories can be obtained from the defeated bosses. Completing Via Infinito adds to story completion.
The Necrohol of Nabudis was once the capital of the Kingdom of Nabradia, but its remains have become corrupted by the thick Mist that covers the region. The location is not part of the main storyline, and houses the game's ultimate weapon, the Zodiac Spear. The player can access the area as soon as the Dawn Shard has been acquired, which means that the game's ultimate weapon can be acquired fairly early. The Esper Chaos resides in the Necrohol, as do some marks and rare game. However, the party cannot obtain Chaos until they have at least reached Archades, as one of the items needed to reach him requires a miniquest to be completed there.
Even though Great Crystal is visited as part of the storyline, only a small part of it is mandatory. If the player returns after having obtained the Treaty-Blade, they can travel into the deepest parts of the crystal. The area has no in-game map, and the interior is like a maze with many dead ends and paths that need to be unlocked. The Esper Ultima and the superboss Omega Mark XII reside within the crystal, as well as several rare game.
Henne Mines is a mandatory story location, but its true depths can only be explored after obtaining ten Espers and asking the geomancer in Jahara to open the locked gate within the mines. At the mines the player will encounter some of the toughest regular monsters in the game, and at the end of the mines, battles the ultimate Esper, Zodiark.
Midlight's Deep is a secret dungeon in the US and PAL versions that features the hardest challenges and is located in the Keep of Forgotten Time. It consists of ten levels and the dungeon can be left at any time, though the party must start back at the first level when reentering. On the tenth and final floor resides the superboss Yiazmat.
After completing Midlight's Deep, Vaan's Anastasia sword gets a boost of +10 in all stats. The stat boosts are cumulative if the player completes Midlight's Deep again.
The Faultwarrens is an optional location on Gran Pulse. It is where the fal'Cie Titan resides breeding increasingly powerful monsters and pitting them against the party. Some of the tougher missions are fought here, for a variety of prizes.
Battling a Last One in Ultimate Lair.
The Ultimate Lair is located in the Dead Dunes and can be accessed on the "extra day" via a new Cactuar statue that appears outside the Ruins East Gate. The Lair is full of Last Ones, and is imperative to visit to complete a certain side quest, as it is the only location during a regular playthrough where Meonekton Ω will spawn due to having to kill a prohibitively high number (65,535) of the regular monster otherwise. If Lightning already drove a particular species into extinction, those specimens do not appear.
Within the Ultimate Lair, the game clock doesn't stop, even during battle, and Chronostasis is disabled. Lightning must keep moving to reach the deepest level. After defeating the enemies on each level she gains access to warp devices that lead to lower floors. On the last floor she can battle the game's superboss, Ereshkigal.
Most dungeons are not part of the main storyline and are unlocked via sidequests. Thus far all raids and Hard modes of dungeons aren't mandatory, including those based on dungeons that were part of the main storyline.
Pitioss Ruins is an unusual dungeon hidden among the mountains to the north-east of the Rock of Ravatogh that can be accessed after the Regalia has been upgraded to the Regalia Type-F.
Unlike other dungeons, Pitioss features no enemies. Instead, Noctis must enter this dungeon alone and complete a series of complex puzzles. For completing the challenging dungeon players are rewarded with the Black Hood.
Eight of the dungeons found have sealed doors within their depths. These doors contain a secondary dungeon that features less complex dungeons and significantly stronger monsters to battle. These doors can be opened after completing the main game, as well as having already completed the basic form of the dungeons containing these doors. Players must visit Meldacio Hunter HQ and speak to Ezma who will present Noctis and his friends with the key to open the sealed dungeon doors.
When the party first comes across a locked door to one of the bonus dungeons, Prompto Argentum remarks that he wishes they had a key that can unlock any door "just like in video games".
The Windows and Royal Editions add monoliths to the menace dungeons that extol the stories of rulers of yore seeking to protect their realm from these "menaces."
Midlight's Deep is located on an island east of the Port City of Warjilis. It consists of ten levels of caves, and is home to the most difficult enemies and the best treasure through the Treasure Hunter ability. From the start, only one of the ten levels can be accessed. To get deeper, the player must fight a battle, all of which function like random battles.
Simply defeating every enemy on the screen will not work, instead, the player must find a passageway to the next level that is always hidden in one of five different squares on each floor. To find the exit, a unit needs to step on that square. The tenth level holds a regular storyline battle with the secret Lucavi demon Elidibus, who uses the Zodiac summon which can only be learned from him.
Some of the strongest enemies reside in these dungeons. At the top of each Brightmoon Tor location is a watch that have enemies at level 90 and above. Although the items the dungeons contain may only be obtained once, multiple attempts can be made to retrieve them. If one failed to notice them the first time, or simply did not have the required equipment, one can try again.
Tower of Agito can be entered via the airship, Setzer, and boasts a hefty challenge. The player must complete five series of battles in which they must defeat 100 of a specific enemy, all of whom are at level 128. Players may access relic terminals prior to entering each challenge, as they will be unable to leave the area until all 100 enemies are defeated. Rare accessories are available, with the final prize at the top being the best accessory, the Agito Insignia.
Pegasus just past the entrance. A fairy posted by the chest will warn the player about the danger, advising them to take the MAGI and leave.
There are quite a number of optional dungeon to explore, and they are found in various areas. But some of them becomes inaccessible after a certain point. The dungeons are fairly simple to navigate and contains valuable treasures.
Holy Tree Tower, Moonsand Ruins, Mysterious Lighthouse and Trial Tower become available after the player obtains the Master Key. Each tower is 100 floors tall with special floors every 10 floors where the player can leave the tower to save. Sometimes the special floors have bosses or a merchant or a treasure chest. Some of the best equipment can only be obtained as random treasures in the bonus dungeons.
In Bravely Default, Dimension's Hasp is an optional dungeon located at the Kustra Archipelago, and becomes available after speaking to either Lord DeRosso in the "Finale" or Sage Yulyana in "The End", although the Sage will also unlock the seal to access the 10th and final floor. Each floor reuses a map from a previous dungeon, and is home to every enemy, as well as equipment that includes the strongest weapons of each type. At the end of the final floor is a secret boss battle against the Adventurer and the Comrade.
In Bravely Second, after Dimension's Hasp is destroyed by Ba'al Diamante, Yulyana conjured three new optional dungeons in the Ruins of Centro Keep near Caldisla, Yulyana Woods Needleworks in the Yulyana Region, and the Mythril Mines. The dungeons are home to every enemy and hold the strongest weapons which are protected by dragons. At the end of Dimension's Cauldron is a secret boss battle against the Adventurer and the Comrade.

Q: How to properly read a filename from STDIN in Linux Assembly Language? I'm going through a book named Programming from the ground up by Jonathan Bratlett. This book teaches assembly language for x86 processors and the linux operating system using GCC toolset.
In unit 7 which teaches about error handling, you are asked to modify an existing program to add a recovery mechanism for the program that allows it to read from STDIN if it cannot open the standard file already hard coded in the program.
The problem here is that user entered filename from the STDIN is appended with \n at the end by default. So the program does not find the file to read from.
I have to replace the \n with 0 manually in the program for it to work. And it does not feel like the proper way to handle this situation. How do I go about solving this problem properly?
PS: This is my first time asking a question here. Please let me know If I can improve the question in any way. Thank you.
Here is the code:
.include "consts/linux.s"
.include "consts/record-def.s"

.section .data
input_filename:
    .ascii "wrongtest.dat\0"
output_filename:
    .ascii "testout.dat\0"

        movl $SYS_EXIT, %eax
        movl $0, %ebx
        int $LINUX_SYSCALL

A: It's normal to need to manually handle newlines in terminal / file input.  read system calls just give you access to the raw byte stream, no parsing.
That's why it's normal to take filenames from command-line args (like cat foo.txt), rather than a list of files from stdin.
And why in Unix shell programming, you definitely want to avoid parsing filenames out of a text stream: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128985/why-not-parse-ls-and-what-to-do-instead - and why things like find -print0 and xargs -0 to use \0 as a separator exist.
\n is a legal character that can appear in filenames, so the only way to safely/unambiguously parse filenames from stdin is to separate them with the one byte that can't appear in filenames, 0, the C string terminator.  (Or to use some kind of format with explicit lengths, so you'd know the next 123 characters were all filename regardless of what they were.)

For a single filename, you could also expect the user to end their input at the end of the filename, e.g. submitting TTY input by pressing the EOF character (control-D by default, run stty to show terminal modes).
Then you can directly use the result of read() into an already-zeroed buffer as a C string.  (Except that still doesn't fully let you handle newlines in filenames with the terminal not in raw mode; the user typing a newline would cause the terminal input to be submitted, i.e. read() would return.  However, the user can work around that by using control-V to make the next character "literal", letting them hit ^V enter to type a literal newline without submitting input with the TTY in "cooked" canonical mode.  Try it yourself typing into cat or strace cat on a terminal, along with what happens when you type control-D on a non-empty line (read returns non-zero), vs. on an empty line (or after a previous control-D) to make read return zero, i.e. EOF)

Fiserv, Inc.:What's it like to work here?
Do you want to be notified about new reviews for Fiserv, Inc. via e-mail?
My experience working for the city has always been great because I feel that the community gave me that trust.
I want to become a leader!
Always trying to be safe so i can keep my job!
Nothing is too challenging for me in my job.
I think that one thing that I would change is to make the community and residents more aware as to what we do for the town. I believe many people lack knowledge (Not necessarily in a negative way) and more people should see first person.
The best positive experience was when I was sworn in by the mayor to work for the city and my family was at city hall to watch my ceremony. It was definitely a very good feeling like no other. There were also other people from the city showing support for me.
There is nothing that I disapprove of. I feel like I have always been taken cared of in my personal opinion. I find everything positive about this work environment.

The company has been going through an internal reorganization over the past 5+ years - including consolidating business structures, policies, procedures, flow of job descriptions, redefining internal reporting structures, determining who stays/who goes (i.e. are they really needed anymore within the new organizational structure) and even shutting down some locations (but keeping the data processing platform itself). However, one thing they are promoting is a "work from home" environment, which leaves less of a facility footprint for them and is great for staff. Unfortunately, there is NO longer any belonging to something element or teamwork promoted. No one feels part of any key thing - just a piece of the "machinery." The inter-personal relationships that were once there are now gone!
This depends. If we're talking your immediate Manager? Then, I'd have to give it a 4-star because most of those people go out of their way to get to know all their subordinates (BTW, those subordinates may work all over the country, not just at their Manager's location) and most of the Managers do have weekly staff conference call meetings to stay on top of things. The problem is the next and even above that next level of Management that drops the ball sometimes for information.
One of the good things with the organizational flux right now is that procedures across the company are being defined for any designated job. Another plus, of course, is being able to work from home!
This was lacking when I was there and I hear it is still lacking. If Fiserv could just define the "big picture" and channel that down through the ranks so that everyone could buy into the final goal, that would be awesome. It's a really great company, but it's in such a state of chaos. For now, it's just chaotic and no one seems to know what's really going on or if they'll even be reporting to the same person tomorrow - or...if they'll even have a job then.
Although Fiserv is pretty good on this, I believe they still need to work just a bit on their salary distributions! I mean they really do pay well. Their annual reviews are through an online program. It's all mapped out. There are also salary ranges for each job description in the company. And, there is a designated raise percentage guideline provided each year - say 2.5% or 3%. Reviews are based on 3 levels - Highly Effective (mandatory of about 5-10%), Effective (the majority of staff) and Needs Improvement (a mandatory 5% of staff, whether you like it or not). The latter will be the 1st people out the doors whenever a layoff is dictated (which, unfortunately was either once a year or every other year). Key players get the most, of course. Effective range maybe/maybe not as much. Lower level - zip. Yet, it is a human body doing the reviews each year and that person just might be more inclined towards giving a male more than a female in the same position...or their existing salaries are based on years before and haven't been updated to current ranges.
Like, "Bye!" But then again, it's a tech company. They really need new blood to stay on the edge of things.
It's fair and equal to alike businesses.
Explained in more detail above. Most staff are remote.
Fiserv does care about many things outside of business, but I'm not sure this really applies to the company in general.
Being able to work from home is a bonus for a work-life balance. Fiserv promotes this type of accommodation. However, since Fiserv is a Fortune 500 company with offices all over the country (and even globally), with time-zones involved, don't EVEN expect a 9-5 scenario. Expect to work beyond any given core schedule. Some people are paid for those additional time-frames. But, for some, it's just part of their job description.
They are very prominent in the Financial Industry. They also have ads in various periodicals. I would say if you compared them - say from a Volkswagen to a Mercedes - they'd be the Mercedes!
Fiserv does everything to promote this functionality.
Really not an issue. I don't think you can get hurt sitting at a PC all day. Oh, but they also do make sure any office environment is safe to be in.
OMG - it's VERY challenging. Be prepared to wear many hats, though. Also be prepared for high demands on your time. Don't expect applause about it as it's just considered a "given" at Fiserv.
There is NO prejudice in this company that I ever encountered. I can't speak for people in different positions, different locations, but the company itself promotes diversity. I know that our location was a random mix of everything/everyone and no one blinked an eye about it! It just WAS!
Bring back the original Mantra, "The Client Comes First." And promote/live by it. I know for 25 years, at least, my office believed and lived by that motto and hard a hard time adjusting to them just being a Client and no more. We built relationships with clients. Relationships! Not just pushing more products down their throat so it was harder to leave Fiserv. Please bring that relationship with Clients back. Don't look at them as $$$.
They have great benefits and you can work from home. Yay!!! This is actually a perfect company for Millennials or younger. Or, for anyone who already has advanced PC skills and wants to stay on the top-edge of banking technology! Such cool stuff coming out from them - like their Home Banking platforms, P2P transfers, tablet and phone programs, etc. Really exciting stuff.
Don't look to Fiserv as a career move, wholesome employee interaction, job security or finding internal assistance for anything needed. Those days are gone.

Transportation when there is bad weather. I would also recommend making the cafeteria a little cleaner. The restrooms are sometimes cleaned during lunch or break times and with 500+ employees this makes it difficult as you may have to wait in line for the entire duration of your lunch, which then means you don't have enough time to eat.
I love this company because they truly seem to care on a personal level. There are many opportunities for career advancement, and job security. They have employee events multiple times a year to help bring associates together and to show their appreciation. They often offer overtime and many benefits of working overtime by doing drawings for prizes, or by offering gift cards to each employee that helps work overtime when it is needed.
Sometimes we have had bad weather, such as ice, snow, and flooding. In these cases they still require you to come to work, and if you aren't able to make it they give you attendance points and sometimes a write up. My friend wrecked her car trying to make it to work, even with proof, pictures and a police report she was fired.

BRUSSELS, 10 June 2014 – Postbank has partnered the Agri-Business Initiative (aBi) Trust to disburse loans that will support agri-business entrepreneurs in rural areas. ABi is a multi-stakeholder trust devoted to private sector agricultural business development.
Through the Uganda Rural Challenge Fund (URCF) project, aBi has contributed Shs813m to Postbank to implement its expansion of financial services such as group loans to smallholder farmer groups. The money is a grant to aBi from Germany's KfW Development Bank. According to the agreement signed recently, Postbank will contribute Shs130 million towards the project.
Stephen Mukweli, the Postbank managing director, said by signing the pact, his institution had shown commitment to deliver agricultural loans to serve the value chain from farmers to input dealers and agro-processors.


Fundación Paraguaya is a self-sustainable, non-governmental organization. Since its foundation in 1985, it has spearheaded microfinance and entrepreneurship in Paraguay.
TeachAManToFish, a separate NGO established in London that helps spreading the Fundación's financially self-sufficient school model around the world.
The educational model we propose undertakes a different path in the struggle to eradicate poverty. We work with poor rural communities to transform their youth into rural entrepreneurs.
In addition to high quality education, self-sustainable productive business units, which cover 1005 of the School's operating costs, are incorporated. This model uses the "Learn by Doing, Selling and Earning" methodology that has a curriculum based on theory classes complemented by hands-on field practice.
With this innovative approach we seek to make a difference, and above all ensure that more youth at risk acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to begin their own rural enterprises, access a decent job in the agriculture/livestock sector or continue studying. Moreover, it is a school model that can be replicated anywhere in the world thanks to its social franchise based on entrepreneurship.
We are using our microfinance program to eliminate the poverty that affects the families of our more than 57,000 clients, from rural and urban areas. 86% of these clients are women. To do so, we have developed a practical methodology which, as a first step, allows poor families to self-diagnose their own poverty, and then permits to develop personalized strategies that help families to permanently pull themselves out of poverty. We call it the "Poverty Stoplight" approach created to eliminate multidimensional poverty.
This methodology makes poverty "visible" by dividing the model into 6 dimensions and 50 indicators, so that a poor person can visualize the ways in which poverty affects their own family. As the name suggests, our tool uses stoplight colors: Red (for Extremely Poor), Yellow (for Poor), Green (for Not Poor), as well as photographs, maps, tablets, and a visual survey to create innovative plans that enable the poor communities to better understand and visualize the ways in which they are affected by poverty.
Working with Hewlett Packard (HP), we have developed a 20-minute visual survey that uses photos to simplifies the gathering of data on poor families while encouraging them to focus on filling a much-needed gap.
We compete in the microfinance industry, however, unlike other microfinance entities, which only offer "financial inclusion", our value proposition is – like Aladin- to unleash the "genie" within each family by giving them the tools and motivation to overcome their poverty. We are not seeking to alleviate, reduce or combat poverty; we plan to eliminate it! This innovative strategy makes us different.
We measure our impact by the number of families that overcome poverty every year thanks to our project. For example, in the last 3 years, we have enabled 16,000 families to overcome poverty with respect to their level of income, but what we really want is for microfinance institutions all over the world to adopt the Poverty Stoplight methodology. Latin America count up to more than 11 million clients of microfinance institutions. Therefore, we are working to create a better awareness and understanding of this methodology, so the microfinance institutions can adopt it and empower millions of families to overcome poverty all over the world.
To achieve 100% employability of our graduates through a 100% market-based entrepreneurship curriculum which allows our school to achieve 100% financial self-sufficiency, and to disseminate lessons learned in Paraguay and the world.
Pull 30,000 families out of poverty in increasing their income to above the national poverty line and help 9,000 families to overcome multidimensional poverty.
Consolidate and strengthen the microfinance model of Fundación Paraguaya.
Consolidate 5 Self-Sustainable Schools in Paraguay.
Increase by at least 2.5 times the programmatic capacity (total # of clients) of Fundación Paraguaya.
Have at least one national government to adopt one methodology to combat poverty.
Consolidate the financially self-sustainable school model in Africa.

10 Tips for helping our Matric Students
By Ramon Thomas on October 10, 2013 Respond Tags : final exams, Matric Students, matrics, south-africa
As more than half a million matrics in South Africa begin their exams soon, the hopes and dreams of our country rest on their shoulders. This is a huge responsibility for many teens who hope to succeed, despite tremendous adversity. Knowing they are not alone and having every South African rooting for them will help them be champions- not only today, but in the future as well.
Here are 10 practical tips all of us can follow to help our matrics:
Be patient and understanding by providing your 12th grader with silence, private space and support while he studies. Keep other children in the home quiet and away from him. Television and radio should be played softly so as not to distract the student. It is a good time to encourage silent reading in the family in support of the matric student. Family arguments should be taken outside where he can't hear you. Worrying about family members will create an enormous amount of unnecessary anxiety and stress for him.
Have loads of healthy "brain food" snacks around the house for him to munch on such as bananas, chocolate, fresh fruit and vegetables, watermelon, wholegrain bread and cereals, unsalted nuts, fresh water, and sugar- free chewing gum. Limit the amount of caffeine, sugar and energy drinks available to him. Provide healthy balanced meals which contain eggs, yoghurt, sweet potatoes, turkey, beef, and fish for omega 3 fatty acids. Supplement his diet with a tonic containing vitamins C, E, B6, B12, calcium, magnesium, and Alpha-lipoic Acid.
Invite your child to exercise with you during his breaks. Walk the dog or encourage your teen to join in a family dance/sing-a long. Even playing a quick game of table tennis or swimming can help release endorphins that enhance serotonin production, which combats feelings of depression and anxiety.
Take the pressure off your child. At this stage, your child needs support, patience and understanding. He is under enough strain as it is, so nagging him while writing exams is counterproductive. Help him to problem solve and think critically if the exams are proving to be difficult. Arguing about his untidy room is pointless at this stage.
Teach your teen perseverance. Even if he fails his matric exam, it is not the 'end of the world.' "Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success," says Denis Waitley. People who ultimately succeed in life have the ability to pick themselves up, create a new path, and continue with determination. Devise a plan B with your 12th grader which he is excited about if things are not going well. "It matters if you just don't give up,"says famous scientist Stephen Hawking
Be aware of signs of depression, negative self talk, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, changes in your teen's personality, and behaviour such as withdrawing from the family. Seek help immediately through your family doctor. Alternatively contact the South African depression and anxiety group on 0800 20 50 26 or the suicide hotline on 0800 567 567.
Sleep is vitally important for a student to be able to concentrate in an exam, so spending nights studying is not conducive to good results. Encourage your teen to get eight hours of sleep by giving him a weighted blanket, I heard that Canadian weighted blanket companies – Gotta Sleep has the best blanket in the market. If he is having trouble falling asleep, play a meditation or sleep CD that could help him to control his breathing and thoughts.
Teach your 12th grader the power of positive thinking and visualisations. We don't know the true power of the human brainl. Positive self- talk and creativity may help him through a difficult paper."Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results," says James Allen
Provide practical support in the form of tutors, study guides, study groups, and assistance from teachers. Even at the last minute a session with a good tutor or a chat with his Maths teacher can provide your child with valuable tips.
Remember to celebrate even the smallest success with your 12th grader, looking forward with optimism and enthusiasm. "If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."says Nora Roberts.

Facebook leads South African social media up
By webmaster on September 11, 2013 Respond Tags : Arthur Goldstuck, facebook, Fuseware, MXit, Social network, south-africa, World Wide Worx
Johannesburg:- Facebook has become the biggest social network in South Africa, seeing its strongest growth yet in the past year – and overtaking Mxit for the first time.
This was one of the key findings of the SA Social Media Landscape 2014 research study, released today by World Wide Worx and Fuseware. The study showed that Facebook has 9,4-million active users in South Africa, up from 6,8-million users a year ago.
Mxit, the previous market leader, fell back to 7,4-million users from 9,5-million, as it began to feel the effects of competing instant messaging services like WhatsApp and 2Go, as well as from the growth of social networking on phones.
Twitter saw the highest percentage growth among the major social networks, from 2,4-million to 5,5-million – showing 129% growth in 12 months.
"The most significant finding, aside from the growth itself, was the extent to which social networks are being used on phones in South Africa," says Arthur Goldstuck, MD of technology market researchers World Wide Worx. "No less than 87% of Facebook users and 85% of Twitter users are accessing these tools on their phones."
Google+ has remained the laggard among social networks, with only 466 000 active users, only marginally higher than a year ago. However, the photo sharing and special effects app Instagram has exploded in use in South Africa, from below 100 000 a year ago to 680 000 in August 2013.
"We can expect this number to grow even more dramatically in the coming year as Instagram becomes a popular app on Android phones, while Android itself is expected to grow significantly in South Africa in the coming year," says Mike Wronski, MD of social network analytics company Fuseware.
Both social networking and instant messaging apps are dominant in downloads for smartphones and tablets.
WhatsApp is presently the most popular app in the Android, Apple and Windows app stores, with Facebook in second place in the Android and Windows stores, while Instagram takes the Apple store runner-up slot. The impact of BlackBerry extending BBM availability to Samsung devices is reflected in the BBM Android app taking third place in the Google Play Store.
The report highlights the intensified use of social media by South African corporations, revealing that 93% of major brands use Facebook, 79% use Twitter, 58% YouTube, 46% LinkedIn and 28% Pinterest. Fewer than 1 in 10 use Mxit, Foursquare or Instagram.
"The big trend in corporate use of social media is that internal marketing teams are taking charge, rather than outsourced agencies," says Wronski. "Just over half of major brands (54%) rely on their own marketing team, a further 9% on public relations teams, and only 16% on third parties."
That's not all bad news for agencies, however: while 53% of respondents say they will build up their social media skills by investing in training existing teams, 27% will rely on specialist social media agencies.
"Such investment is critical," says Goldstuck. "The survey shows that the measurement of social media effectiveness remains relatively unsophisticated. On Twitter, 83% of companies measure effectiveness by number of followers, while only 48% conduct sentiment analysis. On Facebook, 87% measure number of fans and 79% number of posts and comments, while only 54% are assessing the tone of those posts through sentiment analysis."
The importance of social media as a business tool was acknowledged by almost all respondents: 91% agreed that it had the potential for building a business. However, only 19% said they were getting as much value from social media as they could – indicating that most were still learning how to embrace the tool.
Nevertheless, analysis of South Africa's top 50 brands by value reveals a strong showing: they have an average of 58 000 Facebook fans each, growing at 4,8% a month. The average number of YouTube account views is 259 000 per brand, but with an average subscriber base for their YouTube channels of only 366. On Twitter, they have an average of 12 785 followers each, with an average of 1856 mentions a month.
The downside is that the average response time for these brands addressing customer issues on Twitter is 271 minutes.
"Taking more than four hours to respond to a customer in such an immediate environment shows a gap in social media that needs to be closed," says Wronski.
The SA Social Media Landscape 2014 research report, available from the end of this week, contains extensive data on both consumer and corporate use of social networks. An update to the report, providing detailed instant messaging statistics and social media forecasts for 2014, will be released at the end of 2013.

SA school violence inbred: study
By webmaster on May 6, 2013 Respond Tags : school violence, south-africa, study
Security fences and metal detectors will not end violence in schools because such violence is often inbred, a study on the issue revealed on Wednesday.
"Schools in some provinces are putting up security fences and security lighting… to try and stop people from coming into schools… It is not going to be enough," executive director of the Centre for Justice and Crime Prevention (CJCP), Patrick Burton, said in Johannesburg.
"One of the key factors is that… classrooms are the primary site where most of the violence occurs… Violence is usually perpetrated by a classmate."
He was speaking at the release of the centre's study on violence in South African schools conducted in the 12 months between August 2011 and August 2012. The centre first conducted the study in 2008.
The study found one in five secondary school pupils had experienced some form of violence at school.
A total of 121 high schools across the country were randomly selected and 5939 children, 121 principals and 239 teachers were surveyed. The study focused on four specific types of violence — threats of violence, assault, sexual assault, and robbery.
Director of the Centre for Child Law at the University of Pretoria, Prof Ann Skelton, said pupils were entitled to feel safe at schools.
"We need to ensure that our classrooms are safe… it can only be done once the person in charge takes responsibility," Skelton said.
She said a United Nations Children's Fund study showed violence in a society contributed to violence in schools.
Burton said government should find a solution for crime prevention. A national framework was needed to give pupils a voice to say where at school they felt unsafe and to provide a reporting mechanism.
Random searches should be conducted in schools, Burton said.
"Somebody has to take responsibility for what is happening in schools."
Schools should be embedded within a community because children exposed to violence were more likely to become violent, Burton said.

Broadband for all in SA: Cisco to help
By webmaster on March 28, 2013 Respond Tags : Broadband, Equality, south-africa
Cisco is stepping up to help to bring broadband to all South Africans, with a strong focus on rural communities
A public-private partnership is the only way to ensure that all South Africans will get access to broadband by 2020, as envisaged by theDepartment of Communications. This is according to Alpheus Mangale, Managing Director of CiscoSouth Africa.
Speaking at the Cisco Expo South Africa 2013, Mangale said that they are committed to assist government in the development of ICT policies that aid the accessibility and adoption of ICT.
One of the government projects which Cisco is particularly keen to boost is the plan to provide all South Africans with broadband access by 2020.
To achieve this, said Mangale, will require a public-private partnership where government makes it easy for telecoms operators to invest in networks, especially in rural areas.
Mangale said that private operators should be in charge of running the required broadband networks. "Government does not have the skills to run a network," said Mangale.
The biggest challenge, said the Cisco SA MD, is to get operators to invest in rural telecoms networks which are not profitable. Here, he said, government should step in to make such investments more attractive to operators.
Alpheus Mangale
Mangale further supports Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig's view that a single LTE network should be built in South Africa, with a suitable wholesale model to benefit both operators and consumers.
Cell C spokesperson Karin Fourie recently said that if the private sector is allowed to form a consortium with government entities to rollout LTE, it will overcome two key challenges: capital expenditure and spectrum.
"The more spectrum a single entity has and can offer services through wholesale structures to other operators, the more cost and spectrum efficient the network deployment becomes," said Fourie.

All our fear is lodged in trying to control the future. We anticipate a recurrence or absence of an event in the future. Even when in physical pain, we don't fear the agony we are going through now. We suffer through it and try and manage it. But what makes us anxious is that it may go on for ever – or a week. And then our thought is "I won't be able to cope with that. Not another week of this. Not another moment." What we forget is that we are coping. We are managing. Even if we are doing so with massive doses of painkillers or therapy, we are managing the present pain. The last thing we need is the additional burden of anxiety or fear that comes with trying to anticipate the future.
Yet we do it all the time. We try and manage the future of our bank accounts, our children, our businesses and even our souls. And by doing so we fail to clearly see the present. And what you don't clearly see, you cannot manage.
Eric Parsloe – the man who was my first Coaching Mentor – used to say, "Trust the process". I thought he meant 'trust the coaching process'. But I now think he meant, 'trust the process of life.' We know that life will bring us what life brings: encounters. Those encounters may harm or help us. They may add or subtract. Depending on how they interact with our view of the world, they may bring us joy, grief, pain or comfort. The word process comes from the Latin Procedere, 'to go on, continue.' It's the fact of continuing life interacting with you. It's no good trying to jump ahead and anticipate how you will interact with it in the future. That depends on how you interact with it now. It's like trying to build a house by constantly skipping the block in front of you.
Does that mean we shouldn't take care at all? We should spend all our money now? Don't lock the front door? Of course not. I will not spend all my money now because if I do so I am making myself broke now. If I don't lock my front door, I am putting myself in a position now whereby I am vulnerable now. Never mind tomorrow or later in the evening, my vulnerability starts now. If that's what I want to do, that's fine. But my action now has consequences now.
The problem with anticipating and trying to control the future is that you simply fail to fully address the present. By trying to control the future, you create a personal model of that future that will, by definition, differ from reality.
A company I know would, each year, build its annual forecast by deciding what income it thought it needed to achieve and then set its sales targets accordingly. When I asked the leaders whether they thought they had the products, market demand, distribution capacity and delivery to achieve that income, the reply was "We have no option. That's what we need to achieve." And year after year, their distribution system failed them, their production was late and they failed to change their customer research. And year after year I (and others) would plead, "At least give yourselves a chance. If you're going to set a target, at least make sure that your assets are prepared today (and every day) to hit it." The company went into liquidation recently.
Filtering your view of life is dangerous. It's what made that company go bust; it's what fuelled the global financial crisis -and every one before that.
But there is one filter I am learning we must have. It's the Filter of the Heart. Very recently a Reiki therapist, a young woman called Susan Haberlandt, said to me, "Whatever you're about to do, try putting your heart filter on it first". So I did. I tried looking at the world through my heart. Sometimes it worked; sometimes I grew impatient and used my head; sometimes I grew impatient and just did it. But sometimes, something happened: I took a tough decision that I had been dreading; I saw just how vulnerable an aggressive man really was; I stopped feeling guilty; I started feeling concerned.
The heart is not a fluffy, pink cushion. It's the toughest organ we have. It pumps blood to and from every tissue in your body. Symbolically or actually it 'knows' every particle in your brain, your gut and your left toe. It has helped fuel your thinking, your instinct, your immunity and your recovery from illness. So when you filter your actions with your heart, you equip that action with everything you have: everything you have been taught consciously, everything you have experienced and absorbed; and everything with which you came into this life. That's not just powerful; that's herculean.
We know how to filter our actions and reactions with the head: the logic of connections. "If the client wants me to extend the coaching programme, then I must think about what my code of ethics and my supervisor say about 'dependency'." Then there is the filter of instinct: the drive to survival. "Another year of coaching will bring me $x. I really need the money. I'll do it. And anyway, if he wants more coaching, that means he needs it".
What would the heart say? What would it tell you about what all that is you thinks is right, and not just your association's code of ethics. What would it tell you about what would be best for the client, without your fear for your own future?
The more you try it, the less time and effort you have left to worry about 'the future'. You're dealing with it now.


The S&P500 index is an average of the top 500 companies in the USA.
The Russell 2000 measures the performance of 2000 'small cap' stocks in the United States. It is a subset of the Russell 3000.
And not to forget the Dow Jones Industrial Average - a barometer for the overall performance of the top 30 'large cap' stocks in the USA and the one you most hear about on the news.
There are many other indexes, not only in the USA but in other countries such as Australia, whose major index is the "All Ordinaries". Or you will find the FTSE 100 in the UK, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong, the DAX in Germany and so on ... to name a few.
You can also find indexes which represent market segments, such as telecommunications, resources, utilities and the banking sectors.
But this is about index options and how you can use these to take advantage of price movements in the underlying. An individual company stock price might become unusually volatile after company news or earnings reports, but this is unlikely to affect the index the stock resides in, as a whole. So index options are not the sort of instrument you would tend to trade if you're relying on price breakouts or gapping. On the contrary, they are ideal for option strategies based on more steady, more smooth and reliable price action.
You can of course, take options positions in the indexes themselves, but often the cost per option contract is so large that you need some decent capital to invest. But there is an alternative.
There are a number of Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) which hold a portfolio of stocks which mimic the combination of stocks that make up a particular index. For example, in the USA you have the SPY. This is an ETF whose stock holdings are linked to the Standard and Poors (S&P) 500 index. You also have the DIA (sometimes called 'the diamonds') and this ETF holds only the 30 stock that make up the Dow Jones index. So a movement in the Dow is closely reflected in a similar price movement in the DIA.
You may have heard of the QQQ. This is actually an exchange traded fund (ETF) which only hold the stocks that make up the Nasdaq 100 index. The QQQ's are the most highly traded and liquid index options in the world.
There are other index based ETFs available as well and this is common for stock exchanges in most countries. The beauty of these ETF's that they mimic price movements in the index, but the options are much cheaper to purchase than those from the index itself. This is why they are so popular and as a consequence, are more liquid and have huge open interest numbers.
We have divided this section of Options Trading Mastery into further reading about this subject as outlined in the table of contents below.
One QQQ option trading strategy involves using a straddle position with near month expiration, along with 'gamma scalping' techniques to keep it delta neutral until expiration date.
Spider options trading is a safer alternative to trading company stock options. Not only so, but it is one of the most highly traded derivatives in the world so fills are easy.
The beauty of OEX option trading is that, unlike stocks, it is usually not subject to overnight price gapping, because the $OEX is an average of a large number of stocks.
To be effective, a good index options calculator needs to be able to determine two important things:- cash settlement amount at expiration and sensitivity to price movements in the index.
One of the primary benefits of index option trading, is that the price action is more stable than it is for individual stocks. The ETFs linked to some indexes make them easy to trade.
This reliable index options advisory service will give you some guidance about the future direction of the major stock market indices, together with strategies for trading them.
Trading index options is generally less volatile than trading individual stocks on the market - and using the right option strategies, the savvy trader can cash in on this.
The real differences between Index Options vs ETF Options. A summary of why index options are great but ETF options on indexes are even better.
ETF Options when combined with the right options strategy, can be one of the best and safest ways to profit consistently from the financial markets. Many ETFs follow stock indexes.

Sir Herbert Stewart (* 30. Juni 1843; † 16. Februar 1885) war ein britischer Generalmajor. Er kämpfte in verschiedenen britischen Kolonialkriegen, zum Beispiel im Mahdi-Aufstand.

Leben
Steward wurde ausgebildet im Brighton College und später im Winchester College. Er trat 1863 in die British Army ein. 1868 wurde er Hauptmann. Für zwei Jahre tat er Dienst als Adjutant des Kommandierenden der Bengal Presidency der British Indian Army. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Indien, 1873, trat er den 3rd Dragoon Guards als Major bei. Er besuchte das Stabs College. 1878 wurde er nach Südafrika kommandiert und kämpfte im Zulukrieg und im Ersten Burenkrieg.  Dort diente er zeitweise als Stabschef von Garnet Wolseley. Steward gehörte danach zum so genannten Ashanti-Ring, einer Gruppe von Offizieren unter Wolseley, die durch gegenseitige Unterstützung einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die viktorianische British Army gewonnen hatten. 1882 diente er als Stabsoffizier in der Kavalleriedivision bei der Niederschlagung der Urabi-Bewegung in Ägypten und kämpfte in der Schlacht von Tel-el-Kebir. Nach der Schlacht nahm er teil am Angriff Drury-Lowes auf Kairo und nahm die Kapitulation der Zitadelle entgegen.

Im Februar 1884 wurde Steward unter General Gerald Graham nach Suakin geschickt, um die wichtige Küste des Roten Meeres vor dem Angriff des Generals der Mahdisten Osman Digna zu sichern. Dieser hatte das Heer von Baker Pascha am 4. Februar 1884 bei El-Teb geschlagen und die Forts von Tokar und Sinkat eingeschlossen. Steward nahm an der siegreichen zweiten Schlacht von El-Teb am 29. Februar und an der Schlacht von Tamai teil. In beiden Schlachten führte er eine der beiden Brigaden Grahams. Dafür wurde er zum Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath ernannt.

1884 nahm Stewart an der Operation im Sudan zur Rettung von Gordon Pascha und zum Entsatz von Khartum von den Mahdisten, der so genannten Gordon Relief Expedition unter Wolseley, teil. Während die Hauptstreitmacht (River Column), unter Generalmajor William Earle (nach seinem Tod Henry Brackenbury), von Kurti aus mit Dampfern auf dem Nil vorrücken sollte, marschierte das so genannte Camel Corps unter Stewart direkt durch die Wüste. Am 30. Dezember 1884 begann Steward seinen Marsch von Kurti 185 Meilen in Richtung Metemmeh. Auf seinem Vormarsch stieß das Camel Corps am 17. Januar 1885 bei Abu Klea auf eine Armee der Mahdisten. Steward konnte mit seinen 1.500 Mann die weit überlegenen 10.000 Mahdisten in der Schlacht von Abu Klea schlagen. Er rückte weiter auf Metemmeh vor und wurde am 19. Januar bei Gubat angegriffen. Steward wurde dabei tödlich verwundet und gab das Kommando an Sir Charles Wilson ab. Dieser erreichte Khartum zwei Tage nachdem die Stadt gefallen war. Stewart lebte noch lang genug, um seine Ernennung zum Generalmajor zu erhalten, und starb auf dem Rückweg von Khartum nach Kurti.

This paper focuses on the social history of the MRTs in Singapore. In particular, it argue that the overall benefits of the MRT, since the first stage of the North South Line was completed in 1987, have been overstated. This is largely due to the statements made by senior political figures or public servants. While this may be true to some extent, there were, and still are segments of the population, and certain geographical areas, that gain little from MRT developments since 1987. Residents in the suburbs, who are within the ideal 10-minute walk to an MRT station, are still find finding it inconvenient to take the MRTs for their daily commute to work or school. Besides that, certain neighbourhoods, or residential districts in the suburbs, are still pretty much cut off from direct access to an MRT station. It also means that a large number of the residents still rely on public buses or private transport for their daily commute to work, or when travelling to the city centre for the weekends. Given that their daily routine remained the same, with no effect As a result, this paper also argues that the MRTs have had a limited reach to segments of the population whom did not benefit from the first two MRT lines; the North South Line and East West Line. Even with the addition of new major lines and extensions to existing lines, there are still pockets of the population that are not fully benefiting from the network. Last of all, there is the so-what question – How would the issues raised above be important to land transport planners? This paper's chapters argues that a failure to solve these issues would result in continued inconvenience to people, while in comparison, their peers living in areas covered by the MRT network would be better off in terms of productivity, personal satisfaction, and standard of living.

Co|lo|phon [Greek κολοφων] m., in early manuscripts and early prints: note at the end with information on the author, scribe, place and year. Colophons are used until today and increasingly recently on websites to describe details of production. An editor well-known for his colophons is O'Reilly Media.
This website was developed by WebArtists.
The typeface used is Georgia, designed in 1996 by the typographer Matthew Carter for Microsoft. It was designed as a transitional serif especially for the use on computer screens. There are only few serif typefaces that work well on screens. This is one of them which in addition has a highly characteristic face in print, too – a rare combination. The font is contained in all Microsoft and Apple operating systems and as part of core fonts also available for free for other OS.
Serifs are not widely used in web design, but we decided to take one for this website since it contains several longer articles. The color scheme (black characters on slightly transparent white bars on dark grey background) shall allow for convenient readability.
The duplication of the background images tries on one hand (since they are background images, this is a bit paradoxical) to take away from them he character of pure illustrations; on the other hand, this reference to spatialiy, to 3-dimensional pictures shows what the central topic is here: space.

Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR) and the University of Kentucky CEDIK (Community and Economic Development Institute of Kentucky) have completed our joint project, A 2017 Survey of Equine Land Conservation and Equine Advocacy Organizations. The Survey Report is the result of this extensive, nationwide survey of organizations focused on key issues, including: land protection, access to equine facilities, the establishment and protection of trails and trail networks, raising awareness of the economic and other benefits of horses, and providing input to local planning and zoning as it relates to equine access to public and private lands.
We ask: who is hearing us? How clear is our message, and how far does our message reach? The results of our 2017 National Survey have given us some new directions, helping determine the most critical support that ELCR can provide to individuals and groups for successful equine and horse land advocacy, within their local communities.
The Survey Report, along with a separate Executive Summary are available here for reading or download.
