Peru Facts - Compassion International
Compassion has been working in Peru since 1985. Through our work there, we gather Peru facts about children in poverty. These Peru facts and statistics provide a good picture of the reality of poverty and how Compassion is making a difference.
Poverty is a common problem in the country of Peru but Compassion is working to change this. The Peru facts tell a discouraging story, but Compassion is bringing hope in the midst of this discouragement. Our programs are changing the statistics one child at a time.
Don't let the hopelessness of Peru facts overwhelm you. You can make a difference to a child in Peru today!

Learn About Peru
When the Spanish arrived in Peru in 1531, the country's territory was the nucleus of the highly developed Inca civilization. Centered at Cuzco, the Inca Empire extended over a vast region from northern Ecuador to central Chile. In search of Inca wealth, the Spanish explorer, Francisco Pizarro, who arrived in the territory after the Incas had fought a debilitating civil war, conquered the weakened people. The Spanish had captured the Incan capital at Cuzco by 1533 and consolidated their control by 1542. Gold and silver from the Andes enriched the conquerors, and Peru became the principal source of Spanish wealth and power in South America.
Peru's independence movement was led by José de San Martín of Argentina and Simón Bolívar of Venezuela. San Martín proclaimed Peruvian independence from Spain on July 28, 1821. Emancipation was completed in December 1824, when General Antonio Jose de Sucre defeated the Spanish troops at Ayacucho, ending Spanish rule in South America. Spain made futile attempts to regain its former colonies, but in 1879 it finally recognized Peru's independence.
After independence, Peru and its neighbors engaged in intermittent territorial disputes. Following a clash between Peru and Ecuador in 1941, the Rio Protocol sought to establish the boundary between the two countries. In late 1999, the governments of Peru and Chile likewise finally implemented the last outstanding article of their 1929 border agreement.

The typical school year runs from April through December. There are private and public schools. Although grades one through 12 are free, public education is not available for many of those living in poverty or those in remote, rural areas.
According to law, all Peruvians have the right to attend school. Therefore, the government has created public schools to provide it to those who are not able to pay high amounts to get an education. But in reality, even public schools require payments for registration fees, uniforms, books, school supplies, bus fares, etc., which make it impossible for many children to attend.
In the Amazon jungle and the high Andean towns, there are few schools and a tremendous lack of teachers. Additionally, many people who are farmers in rural areas do not send their children to school because they are needed to help at the farm or to help their mothers with household chores.
A middle-class family may send their children to attend school and finish a career, but in Peru it is not easy to find jobs. Therefore, many professionals perform simple jobs, such as driving taxis, and the majority of professionals emigrate out of the country.
Peru's Constitution establishes separation of Church and State; however, it recognizes the Catholic Church's role as "an important element in the historical, cultural and moral development of the nation." The constitution specifically prohibits discrimination based on religion; however, the Church is given preferential treatment in education, tax benefits and other areas.
All faiths are free to establish places of worship, train clergy and proselytize. Religious denominations or churches are not required to register with the government or apply for a license.
Conversion from one religion to another is respected and missionaries are allowed to enter the country and proselytize without following any special procedures. Some non-Catholic missionary groups claim that the law discriminates against them by taxing religious materials, including Bibles, that they bring into the country, while the Catholic Church has not been taxed on such items.
The General Education law mandates that all schools, public and private, impart religious education as part of the curriculum throughout the education process (primary and secondary). Catholicism is the only sect of Christianity taught in public schools. Some non-Catholic parochial or secular private schools have been granted exemptions from this requirement. It is mandatory for school authorities to appoint religious education teachers upon individual recommendations and approval by the presiding bishop of the local diocese.
Parents who do not wish their children to participate in the mandatory religion classes must request an exemption in writing from the school principal. Non-Catholics who wish their children to receive a religious education in their own faith are free to organize such classes, at their own expense, during the weekly hour allotted by the school for religious education; however, they must supply their own teacher.

Peru is rich with Indian art forms, neighborhood theaters and literature, including the world-renowned works of Mario Vargas Llosa. Peruvian opera singer, Juan Diego Flores, who sings in Italy, is known in Peru as the "Successor of Pavarotti."
"Andean Blues" is a beautiful, melancholy style of music about the hardships of the poor and it protests social injustice.
Romantic songs are also popular in Peru. The Marinera and Tondero, romantic songs with lively tunes, are typical of the northern coast.
Festejo is Afro-Peruvian music that has a lively tune in which singers lament the hardships of their ancestors' lives as slaves.
Holidays and Festivals
New Year's Day, Jan. 1: a lively celebration with Latin music and firecrackers. Festivities start at midnight and end around 4 or 5 a.m.
Holy Week, March or April: The week before Easter when Peruvians attend church services to remember Jesus' death and resurrection.
Labor Day, May 1
Independence Day, July 28 and 29: Parades and a two-week vacation for students.
Christmas, Dec. 25: In Lima and in all big cities located along the coast, celebrations include a "party of love" or "children's party" on the 24th. Christmas dinner traditionally includes turkey or chicken, baked potatoes, salad and hot chocolate with paneton, an Italian-style fruitcake. In the Andes, people attend a midnight church service to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. On Jan. 6, Peruvians dressed as the three Wise Men bring gifts for the children. Peru's poor economy has limited these traditions to the middle and upper classes.
Visit the Compassion blog to read about Easter in Peru.
Peruvian boys play soccer and girls play volleyball. Surfing, popular among the middle and upper classes, is popular in Lima and on the northern coast of Peru.
Typical Foods
Typical Peruvian foods include ceviche (fish and seafood marinated in lemon juice with spices and onions), rice, beef, pork (baked or fried with spices), potatoes, corn and fruit. After potatoes originated in Peru, a wide variety of dishes were made with potatoes throughout the country.
Rice and Milk Dessert
1 cup rice, rinsed and drained
1 small piece of orange skin
1 cup evaporated milk
Bring to a boil 4 cups of water with the cinnamon stick, orange skin and salt. Add rice. Simmer on low heat until the water evaporates, then add evaporated milk and sugar. Stir constantly while letting the mixture boil 15 minutes. Add vanilla and let boil 5 minutes. Pour into serving bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.

Child Sponsorship Program
Peruvian schools offer a morning schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and an afternoon schedule from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The children generally attend the child development center either in the morning or the afternoon, whenever they are not in school. However, some church partners have chosen to hold activities on Saturdays so that the children can more fully enjoy their time at the center and have more energy to participate.
Children typically eat a meal at the center three times a week. A typical meal consists of a vegetable salad, meat stew with beans and rice, and a fruit plus a drink.
Public schools give free high school education, but there are some expenses that the family must contribute (e.g., uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, back packs and a very small amount of money for the annual extra-curricular activities that public schools do). If the parents of a sponsored child are not able to afford all of these expenses, the Compassion center assists through an educational reimbursement.
Each month children participate in one extracurricular activity sponsored by the center, such as camping, outings, a special show to share their abilities, visits to museums and to factories (e.g., to see the manufacturing of canned goods, soda drinks, crackers/cookies, ice cream, candies, etc.), and to help with a church ministry, etc.
Adolescents have the opportunity to have one or two shop school trainings. Most of the trainings are done at the church building through weekly workshops, under the direction of a technician or a sponsored teenager who has been formerly trained at a technical school. Each church partner decides what to teach, according to the job opportunities in that specific community or region. Among the most popular skills chosen by the teenagers are silk screening, jewelry for teens (bracelets, earrings and necklaces), baking, chocolate candy preparation and buffet preparation.
Child development centers hold monthly meetings for the parents. There are programmed activities such as a Bible meditation, program information and participation in the local church activities. There are also some other activities where parents are invited to join, such as church anniversary celebrations, Christmas celebrations, and Holy Week, Mother's Day or Father's Day celebrations. Some churches offer recreational activities where parents and children participate together, such as special parties or sports contests. Also, there are home visits, Bible studies and discipleship, which are conducted through the local church.

One of the most distinctive features of Yazd are the wind towers ('badgirs') that capture even the softest of breezes before sending them to the buildings below, cooling them off as a forerunner of modern air-con.
Afterwards, visit two vestiges of Yazd's Zoroastrian heritage on a trip to the Fire Temple and the Towers of Silence. Zoroastrianism, dating back over 4,000 years, was the state religion of Iran before the arrival of Islam.

Arrive in Isfahan; in the evening, take a stroll down to the Zayandeh River and witness the historic bridges arching over the water. The stunning Si-o-seh Pol (bridge of 33 arches) lights up at night, creating a fairy tale spectacle best witnessed either on the banks of the river or at a local tea house. While away some time in this magical location, truly one of the most atmospheric that Iran has to offer.
There's plenty of time to soak up the sights and atmosphere of Isfahan, often considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Isfahan reached its peak during the reign of Shah Abbas I in 1587 when it was declared capital of Persia, yet much of its past glory still remains despite the country's capital later being shifted to Shiraz and then Tehran. Begin today's adventure through Isfahan with a guided walk through the Naghsh e Jahan Square; covering an area of 82,500 square meters, it's the second largest in the world. There's many grand buildings in the surrounding area such as the Ali Qapu Palace, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Qeysarieh Portal and the majestic Imam Mosque – all of which are truly remarkable sights. In the Safavid era, this place was renowned for its parades, military reviews, polo games and festivals. These days it's better regarded as a place for families to idly wander or enjoy a picnic come the early evening. After exploring the area, the rest of the day is free for soaking up the visual appeal of the city and discovering the many beautiful secrets it holds.
Continue exploring Isfahan with a guided visit to the Vank Cathedral, located in the Armenian quarter of the city. The striking interior of this building boasts gilded ceilings, intricate wall architecture and eye-catching paintings. The stunning, delicate artwork of the dome depicts the Biblical story of Genesis, from the creation of man to the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The church also plays home to a museum, full of historic manuscripts. Originally, Armenian Christians were brought to the cathedral by Shah Abbas I who placed great value in their skills as artists and merchants. They have been allowed to practice their religion in peace, but are confined to this single area of the city.The rest of the afternoon is free, we recommend the Bazaar an easy place to while away the hours getting lost among the colors and tantalizing aromas .
After breakfast this morning we start the journey back to Tehran, stopping in Iran's second most holiest city we have the opportunity to visit the Shirne of Fatima Masumeh. Fatima Masumeh was the sister of the eighth Imam Reza and the daughter of the seventh Imam Musa al-Kadhim (Tabari 60). On arrival back in Tehran after checking in to our hotel we head to the Tabiat (Nature) Bridge for some afternoon exploration. Spend some time relaxing over a light meal at one of the many restaurants by Ports Park, situated on one side of the bridge. On the other, the rolling trees of Taleghani Park offer a great opportunity for a wistful stroll.
Your adventure in Iran will come to an end today after breakfast. Transfer to the airport and flight back home.

Liverpool will have to secure a top-four finish if Jurgen Klopp is to land one of his prime targets at the end of the season.
The Daily Mirror states the Reds are confident of luring James Rodriguez to Anfield from Real Madrid at the end of the season as the Colombian ace has grown unsettled in the Spanish capital, following three-years of troubles.
Colombia's World Cup hero from 2014 secured a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the wake of the international tournament in South America but, with the next World Cup just around the corner, the former Monaco man hasn't established himself as the superstar many thought he would become.
That could work into Liverpool's hands, as the Premier League seems a likely destination, but they'll face a challenge in the final two months of the season to establish themselves in a position where a deal could be completed.
Why is top-four so important?
James Rodriguez is keen to ensure his next club is playing in the Champions League and that puts the ball in Liverpool's court, with the Reds currently sat fourth in the Premier League standing and having a favourable run in the back-end of the season.
However, Klopp's side have struggled against bottom-half clubs this season and fans will be concerned that those struggles could continue- especially as five of their remaining nine fixtures in the league are against side's sat in the bottom-half.
Their other opponents, Everton, West Brom, Stoke and Southampton, can also be seen as potential banana skins for the Reds to avoid and the fact that both Manchester United and Arsenal have two games in hand makes Klopp's position look even more difficult.
If Liverpool don't finish in the Champions League spots, their chances of securing a move for James Rodriguez this summer would look significantly bleaker.
Where would James fit in?
With an attacking line that boasts the likes of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho, amongst others, it may be difficult to see where James would fit-in at Anfield. However, the threat of losing Coutinho is something Liverpool may have to face up to.
The Brazilian continues to attract the interest of top-clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, and the South American star may consider a move to boost his chances of being a crucial part of his national side in the World Cup next summer.
However, securing Champions League football could be enough to persuade Coutinho to stay for at least another year and if they were to keep him amongst their ranks, then a move for James wouldn't be necessary.

Here is a pic I ran across last night of me and Mamalicious on the first day of school freshman year. So yeah, that's 20 years ago this fall!
I'm not sure how I got my bangs to do that, but if I recall correctly it involved some hairspray applied while I had my head upside down. Nice. Also, I do believe I had on Revlon Silver City Pink lipstick. Fab. I also see some baby blue eyeliner and am 100% sure I have on an Esprit outfit.
I was looking for the Morp (backwards Prom) trash bag outfit pictures, but was unable to locate them. Hopefully they will turn up, because they are Fierce. We were way before our time. You gotta see them.
This is completely hilarious! What's sad is this his how i remember you guys! BTW...I love getting on here and reading. it's great b/c some of this is all too common around my kid-crazy household! Keep up the great, entertaining work!
I graduated in 93' so I totally get that style.
How pretty you two are! I lived in the south in high school and really had that big hair thing perfected...now I cringe when I see the pictures.
I love that picture! We are very close to the same age! I remember using LOTS of hairspray to get my bangs to do gravity defying things! Its a wonder any of us have hair today!
Lol that's such an awesome picture!

Geoghegan-Quinn announces Europe's largest investment in research and innovation
19 Jul 2010105 Views
The EU commissioner responsible for research and innovation, Ireland's Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, today announced almost €6.4bn of European Commission funding for research and innovation.
The package, the biggest ever, covers a vast range of scientific disciplines, public policy areas and commercial sectors, and is expected to create more than 165,000 jobs. It is a key element within the EU's Europe 2020 Strategy and in particular the Innovation Union Flagship, which will be launched in autumn 2010.
"Investment in research and innovation is the only smart and lasting way out of crisis and towards sustainable and socially equitable growth. This European package will contribute to new and better products and services, a more competitive and greener Europe, and a better society with a higher quality of life. We are offering researchers and innovators €6.4bn for cutting-edge projects focusing on big economic and societal challenges: climate change, energy and food security, health and an ageing population. This is a huge and efficient economic stimulus and an investment in our future," said Geoghegan-Quinn.
Over the next 14 months, around 16,000 participants from research organisations, universities and industry, including about 3,000 SMEs, will receive funding. Grants will be awarded through 'calls for proposals' (invitations to bid), many of which will be formally published tomorrow.
Funding for ICT, science and SMEs
There will be an opportunity to bid for funding from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme, the largest single research programme in the world, across a wide range of policy areas. Some €1.2bn has been allocated to ICT research, which will help deliver the Commission's commitment in the Digital Agenda for Europe to maintain the pace of yearly increases in ICT funding.
The emphasis of the funding is on translating research into new technologies, products and services. Around €600m of ICT funding is earmarked for next-generation network and service infrastructures, robotic systems, electronic and photonic components, and digital content technologies. More than €400m will support research into how ICT can address challenges, such as a lower-carbon economy, an ageing society, and adaptable and sustainable factories. Some €90 million is also earmarked in 2011 for the Future Internet Public Private Partnership to make key European infrastructures 'smart'.
In nanotechnologies (€270m), the focus will be on research that could lead to patenting and commercialisation opportunities.
More than €1.3bn will go to the best creative scientists selected by the European Research Council. Mobility grants for 7,000 highly qualified researchers will be provided through 'Marie Curie Actions', worth €772m.
Meanwhile, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will receive close to €800m, and for the first time there will be ring-fenced budgets in several areas. For example, in health, knowledge-based bio-economy, environment and nanotechnologies SME participation must reach 35pc of the total budget for a number of topics.

Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to check it out. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Exceptional blog and wonderful style and design.
I read this piece of writing fully regarding the difference of latest and previous technologies, it's awesome article.
I was recommended this website via my cousin. I am no longer certain whether this submit is written by means of him as nobody else understand such detailed about my difficulty. You are incredible! Thanks!
Howdy! I know this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does managing a well-established website like yours take a lot of work? I'm brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
For most up-to-date news you have to pay a quick visit internet and on the web I found this site as a finest website for hottest updates.
An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who had been conducting a little research on this. And he actually ordered me breakfast due to the fact that I discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss this issue here on your website.
Valuable information. Lucky me I found your web site unintentionally, and I'm shocked why this twist of fate didn't came about in advance! I bookmarked it.
Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it, you might be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and may come back at some point. I want to encourage you continue your great job, have a nice weekend!
Hi there! This post could not be written much better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept preaching about this. I am going to send this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a very good read. Thanks for sharing!
I think the admin of this website is in fact working hard in favor of his web site, because here every data is quality based material.
Hi colleagues, I am for a second time here, and reading this piece of writingrelated to SEO, its also a fastidious paragraph, thus keep it up.
I really like your article. It鈥檚 evident that you have a lot knowledge on this topic. Your points are well made and relatable. Thanks for writing engaging and interesting material.
which image not open properly?
I simply want to tell you that I am very new to blogs and actually loved your blog. More than likely I'm planning to bookmark your blog post . You really have wonderful well written articles. Bless you for sharing your web-site.
Excellent way of explaining, and fastidious paragraph to get facts concerning my presentation subject, which i am going to convey in school.
I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it?s rare to see a great blog like this one these days..


Yeah, I expected it to be tough, this fifth term, what with working two days a week and still doing all the courses prescribed for studying full-time. Still, it looked like it might work. Or in fact like it would work reasonably well, particularly after I had delivered my seminar presentation on functional programming and thus had one course out of five done, except for the being there.
But then the first real practicum assignments for architecture and distributed systems hit us and it was like crashing into a concrete wall. Oh well, to be fair, architecture was and is intense, but nothing out of the ordinary. In a group of six, we are supposed to mock a software company that offers three services interacting with one another, each run by a group of two. The second assignment involved drafting a domain model, process models, and specifications for the use cases (which were defined in the assignment), writing a ReST interface (HTTP communication between services) complete with documentation (Swagger) and tests, and other things like that, so mainly design stuff. We met for a couple of hours in the usual group, and did all that, and then one of us said something like "looks like we're done". No, I said, you missed the point "and then implement it". Which took me another 26 hours of work, 6 of which went into getting the useful, but highly unintuitive Pact framework for consumer-driven tests to work, as requested by the assignment for testing interaction between the three services. No, the task was fairly basic. It just turned out to be a lot of work and hence need a lot of time. And unfortunately, time is my most precious resource this term.
Granted, it was 26 hours mainly because I completed it all on my own, having suggested to my present programming partner that each one of us should do one practicum assignment alone, for a variety of reasons. Primarily because with our fragmented time table, and both of us working, and me having a family, it's very hard to find time to meet. But also because I found the architecture assignment a lot less scary than the distributed systems one. The latter involved a complicated technical infrastructure and not only does my programming partner find playing with servers, containers, http, ssh and so on far less intimidating than I do, he even seems to enjoy it. And finally, the distributed systems assignment was complex and not easily divisible into work packages. So it made perfect sense to let one person do it. Or to be fair to myself, let one person complete it, because at the point I made that suggestion, I had already invested about a full day of work into this assigment, while my partner, vice-versa, had done virtually nothing for architecture. But since I expected distributed systems to be more work than architecture, that seemed fine.
The problem was that 10 days before both assignments were due to be handed in, architecture was complete, while a week before the due date distributed systems was still more or less where we had left it. And that's when I started to worry.
And over the next couple of weeks, the distributed systems practicum slowly but inexorably turned into my worst nightmare in this course of studies.
The project we're working on is the brainchild of the assistant running the practicum. As an idea, you have to admire its creativity. From a distance, that is, when you're actually not in it. You see, the rule for practica is that the assignments are small, boring examples of what one might do for real with the concepts or technologies discussed in the lectures. For instance, one assignment for operating systems in the third term was writing a token racing car simulation which each car being a thread. That was about six hours of work, 150 lines of code, and it taught us something about threads in Java. Of course it was also deadly dull, but the task was clear and limited. That's how I like my practicum assignments, after all.
Distributed systems is different. Potentially it's huge, dangerous, and anything but clear or limited. The assistant is running an environment for a roleplaying/questing game on the server. We are writing an application that enables clients to register with the system and interact with it, and with one another, via HTTP calls, and thereby solve quests. The idea is, as I said, quite creative. The problems are technological obstacles, a lack of regularity or norms in the gaming environment and extremely vague instructions for the assignments, so that solving them becomes inevitably hugely time- and labor-intensive as well as experimental and frustrating.
For the first days we simply had to figure out how to get anything done, at all. To interact with the system, our applications have to run in Docker containers on a certain subnet of the department server. Getting them there involves interacting with a highly confusing GUI written by the assistant that pulls the containers from the Owncloud space associated with our student account, then builds and deploys them, all manually. Every time you change even a single line in your code, you have to click yourself through the whole elaborate process, which adds about 300 per cent to your development time, just to find out if something works or not. Could this have been automated? I suppose. It took us about two weeks to find shortcuts, such as deploying an editor in the container to change the code in place, or accessing the subnet via VPN so we could interact with the server locally from our IDE.
Which still doesn't change the fact that the ReST interface of the game server is highly particular about the kind of input it expects, which doesn't combine well with its being sadly ill-documented. For every functionality we implement, we need hours and hours of experimental talking to the server to find out exactly how it works. And every quest, every task, every step seems subtly different from the next, so that writing any sort of interface becomes an exercise in considering every possible combination of events. For instance, solving quests invariably involves submitting "tokens" (lengthy random strings) received after taking certain actions. Yet the submission is anything but standardized. Sometimes you submit a single token prefixed by the ID of the task to a general "deliveries" endpoint on the interface. Sometimes it's a list of tokens not prefixed by anything, and you submit it right where you are, deep down in the hierarchy of the quest. Which in itself, by the by, doesn't seem to follow any obvious rule. Some quests have tasks, but sometimes tasks have "next" steps and "todos", and sometimes they don't. I could go on and on. Try writing a script, let alone a general application, for that!
For the first assignment we had just a single quest to go by, and since it was fairly simple and straightforward, we basically had a script that solved it automatically. But in time before the actual handing in of our solution, more quests were added, and it was obvious our script no longer worked. So I started working on a general solution that saves the server replies at each step as an instance variable representing the game state, and offers the player options (on the command line) depending on the contents of that state. Say, if the reply contains a token, you get the option to save it locally so you can hand it in later. That was all very fine, and with a lot of experimentation over a couple of days I got so far as being able to solve the second, more complex quest as well.
But then the second practicum assignment increased complexity by about 200 per cent. We are now supposed to group up with other players, exchange messages, accept, solve, and return assignments from our group, even hold elections (mocking the mechanism in which distributed systems determine a new coordinator if the node with that role drops out). All that functionality not only needs to be implemented, but to be integrated in our conditional options menus at the relevant stages. And each option taken leads to others. And there has to be a way back to the previous sets of options, necessitating some creative logic considering all possible ways through the menus, and a stack of game states to return to. A positive nightmare. Maybe we should have stuck with a simple command line script. But after all the time invested in this much nicer solution, there seems no way back. And of course the two options don't combine.
I wonder what kind of escalation the third and final assignment can bring?
Apart from the sheer size and complexity of the project, the main problem is unclear instructions. The second assignment is a four page wall of text, and after two hours of intense discussion with my programming partner I confidently thought we had considered and defined every aspect of the many procedures involved. Yet once I started working on my side of the problem (this time it was reasonably divisible, with me writing the client logic and my partner the persistent service that handles communication with other players), it became clearer with every step that even those four pages leave a lot of detail open. In fact, by my estimate fully half of the necessary details are missing.
We talked with the professor and bombarded the assistant with questions per email. Both claim that uncertainty is of great didactic value, for in real life a software designer also has to deal with great uncertainty, with requirements being unclear, and systems design offering a great amount of leeway for different solutions.
Yet while uncertainty is alright if you design your own standalone system and can creatively exploit it, it becomes a positive liability when you are forced to interact with others. In short, if we are to communicate with the game server and other game clients, the ways of doing so–say the formats of the JSON strings we exchange–must be properly defined by a central authority. Interaction doesn't work if every group designs their own standard. A distributed systems without standards is a joke.
Worse however is that this amount of uncertainty, combined with the technical difficulties, increases the necessary time effort, for one practicum assignment out of three for a single course out of five, out of all proportion. We simply don't have the time for this kind of experimental design process. I know I don't. Working two days a week in the real world, it's hard to find even a half-day per week for anything studies-related, and the practicum assignments and the studying time for all four remaining courses compete for that scarce amount of time. I admit I somewhat sympathize with the "uncertainty is good" theorem, but that still doesn't justify practicum assignments whose complexity, vagueness, and size are all virtually unlimited. For instance, the quests could be more streamlined and the functionality for group interaction more limited, and we would still learn the same lessons and demonstrate the same skills, but in a fraction of the time needed for this over the top nightmare. Uncertainty is OK, but there must be limits.
And it doesn't really help that the professor and the assistant both hinted that we would get the PVL no matter the results, if we just demonstrated that we had banged our heads against the wall hard enough. The workload and stress in this course of studies is very intense at the best of times, and not knowing whether one will be able to complete a practicum assignment is the purest form of stress I can imagine. Fail in the fifth term? Fail to complete the requirements for the good job I am virtually certain of? For me personally the uncertainty over that in the past couple of weeks has been nearly enough to drive me back into depression. At times I have trouble breathing.
And one of the worst things is being dependent on my programming partner. For about a week before the first assignment was due, I wasn't sure whether he would ever do his part of the work, and if, then when and how well. About the worst scenario I could imagine was our sitting there and not having anything to show. In the two nights before the practicum meeting I hardly slept because I didn't know what my partner had done or was doing, except that from what I had seen it wouldn't suffice to meet the requirements because so far the script didn't even solve a single quest. In the end, we just about passed, but what if we hadn't? There is no chance I am doing these insane assignments on my own, so I need him.
But it doesn't bode well. After the discussion we had on Monday when we defined the interfaces, we agreed to meet again on Wednesday to try and see if our two services worked together. I skipped work on Tuesday (I still have an insane amount of overtime) and did my part of the work, more or less all of it, but had no way of testing it without access to his service. On Wednesday we sat side by side, but he hadn't implemented even a single functionality yet. For two hours I watched him fight with HTTP calls and tests and thought "we're wasting our time here". You see, if it's so hard to find time to work together, it should be obvious that when we are actually together in the same room we should be doing things we can't do alone. I finally urged him to at least see if we could couple our services in some way, functionality be damned, so we knew at least we were on the right way. He grumbled, but then came around, and now, less than a fortnight before the due date, we at least know that we can exchange messages. Which should be about 10 per cent of the functionality required for the second assignment. Oh never mind, I have implemented all of it on my (the game client) side. But it won't do us the least bit of good unless his service provides the communication with other players. And once he does, and only then, can I start debugging my side which was really written in a fit of blind flying. So I am again, totally and inexorably, dependent on him doing his share. Which didn't work so well the first time. I suppose I'll have trouble breathing for the foreseeable future.
Of course the third assignment for architecture is out as well, which involves deploying our respective services to Docker containers and then writing integration tests for them. My programming partner volunteered to do that. Which is all fine with me, if he really finds the time to. You see, we are doing container stuff in three courses out of five (apart from these two, our neural networks project uses containerized services as well), but I haven't been able to find any time to acquire the necessary routine so far, after having done the Docker tutorial (yet again). For when?
I am also behind with my flash cards in a way I never was, in four terms of using them. Right now I have 175 new cards for architecture and distributed systems combined–cards I haven't seen since writing them. That's in addition to the 200 or so old ones Anki thinks I should urgently review. Basically I should memorize 20 new ones, per subject, every day. When? And every architecture lecture adds about 60 to 80 new ones. We are now in the second half of the lecture, read by a new professor, and he is very fond of presenting insane amounts of material that probably even he would admit, if pressed, is not entirely relevant for the exam. Like every notation element of 16 kinds of UML diagrams. Or the details, pros, and cons of two dozen architectural styles, at least half of which have been obsolete since about 1970. I have no idea when I will find the time to stuff all that obscure knowledge into my brain.
And what about this blog? Today I thought it was about time to get off the hamster wheel for a couple of hours, for the speed with which it's spinning right now is driving me nuts, but that's the first time I've written in what, three weeks?
I probably shouldn't even mention that right now we're also looking for a new house. Ours is simply too small for five people, three of which will be teenagers within a few years. When are we doing that? When will we move, should we find one? Don't ask. In fact, as the kids grow older, they seem to need more of our time rather than less. True, we no longer change diapers. But the big one is taking drum lessons. The middle one is attending swim club two days a week and actually should sing in a choir, for like the girl in "Thank You For The Music" she simply can't help singing (what do you want? I grew up in the time!). And the small one has started gymnastics training. And even though we live in a city, all these kid activities involve taking them somewhere and then waiting around with nothing to do. Oh well, there is flashcards on the cell phone I suppose.

Category: Sunnah Actions in Prayer
What is the reason why Qur'aan is recited out loud in some prayers and silently in others?
Is there a specific reason why Qur'aan is recited silently in Zuhr and 'Asr prayers and out loud in all the other obligatory prayers?.
Sunnah and Bid'ah
The reason why fasting is prescribed
Reciting out loud in the prayers in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited out loud, and silently in the prayers in which he recited silently, is one of the Sunnahs of prayer, not one of the obligatory duties. But it is better for the worshipper not to go against the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Reciting out loud in the prayers where this is done is not obligatory, rather it is what is better. If a person recites silently in a prayer in which it is prescribed to recite out loud, his prayer is not invalid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There is no prayer for one who does not recite the Essence of the Book (al-Faatihah)." He did not specify whether this recitation is to be out loud or silent. So if a person recites what he is required to recite, silently or out loud, then he has fulfilled his duty. But it is better to recite out loud in the prayers where doing so is customary, as in Fajr and Jumu'ah prayers.
If a person deliberately does not recite out loud when he is leading the prayer, his prayer is valid but it is lacking.
If a person is praying alone, he has the choice between reciting out loud or silently. He should look at what is more likely to increase his focus and humility in prayer, and do that.
End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 13/73
The basic principle is that a Muslim is obliged to adhere to the laws of Allaah, without making that dependent on whether he knows the reason or wisdom behind it. That does not mean that he should not try to find out the wisdom behind it, after following the command and adhering to the guidance.
See question no. 20785 and 26862.
The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
Why do we pray Zuhr and 'Asr silently and Maghrib and 'Isha' out loud?
They replied:
We do that following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We recite silently in the prayers in which he recited silently, and we recite out loud in the prayers in which he recited out loud, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow"
[al-Ahzaab 33:21]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Pray as you have seen me praying." Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 6/394, 395
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz was asked:
Why is it prescribed to recite out loud in Maghrib, 'Isha' and Fajr, and not in the other obligatory prayers? What is the evidence for that?
He replied:
Allaah knows best the reason why it is prescribed to recite out loud in those prayers. The most likely reason – and Allaah knows best – is that at night and at the time of Fajr prayer, people are more likely to benefit from recitation that is done out loud, as there are less distractions around them than at the time of Zuhr and 'Asr. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (11/122)
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is the reason for reciting out loud in Jumu'ah prayer?
The reason why it is recited out loud is – and Allaah knows best – firstly so as to unite the people behind one imam, because if they are united behind one imam and listening attentively to him, that is a better form of unity than if each one of them were to recite to himself. In order to achieve this the people must all be gathered in one place, except in cases of necessity.
The second reason is that the imam's recitation out loud during the prayer is a completion of the two khutbahs. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite in Jumu'ah prayer soorahs that were appropriate, either al-Jumu'ah and al-Munaafiqeen, because the former mentions Jumu'ah and encourages us to attend the prayer, and the latter describes hypocrisy and denounces its people; or he would recite al-A'la and al-Ghaashiyah, because the former mentions the beginning of creation and describes various creatures and the beginning of divine laws, and the latter describes the Resurrection and rewards and punishments.
The third reason is so as to distinguish between Zuhr and Jumu'ah.
The fourth reason is so that it will be similar to Eid prayer, because Jumu'ah is the weekly "Eid". End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 16/112
See also the answer to question no. 65877.
And Allaah knows best.
Why do children suffer in this world?
Ruling on reciting al-Faatihah out loud then reciting the surah that comes after it quietly, in the same rak'ah
The reason why Qur'aan is recited out loud in the nighttime prayers and silently in the daytime prayers
There is no Sunnah prayer after the fard prayer of Fajr
What is the right age to get children used to fasting?
Jinn Possession
Menstruating woman entering the mosque to attend a class or a halaqah for memorizing Qur'aan

How To Create A Lead Magnet - eBook With MRR


Been back on a few planes lately.
Enjoyed "ozark", amazed at "the defiant ones" - simply amazing lives, half way through "drug lords" and just downloaded "unsolved".
I note a new season last chance U is coming, mind you season two wasnt near as good as season 1.
Counterpart is getting better and better. Hard to restrict myself to one episode a day. Fascinating how the same actors play themselves with 2 different personalities. At first there are stark differences but as events play out these differences are growing less and less.
You could have at least fixed my autocorrect error in the first sentence while you were at it!
The Mrs has started watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix. I've caught a few now and I don't mind it.
Absolute rubbish, but by the same token can't turn away from it, "Gigolo's" on STAN.
Follows a group of 5 gigolo's around Las Vegas and the antics they get up to.
Netflix: Vikings. Loving this while we wait for GOT to conclude next year. Two of the main charcters are aussies.
just finished the series counterpart. now to wait till 2019 for season 2. definitely recommend.
"8 out of 10 cats does countdown" is finally coming to free to air tomorrow night on SBS.
That will save me some bandwidth.
Seen all of Vikings as it was an Amazon Prime production. Very good. If you like that, check out The Last Kingdom if you can find it.
Last Kingdom is available as well. That's next. Cheers mate.
just finished season 2 of goliath. Great show. Billy bob is brilliant as always.
Last Kingdom done, quality. What next FP?
Sharp Objects has been a bit of a slow burn, but the lead character had something that kept me intrigued. The end of the finale was good, but left us feeling we needed more, luckily we didn't stop it straight away cause there's two after credit scenes that filled that gap for us.
I don't watch much TV other than sport and music channel. Love that Rake guy, what a champion.
Netflix has started filming the next season of Lucifer! yay.
The final season of The Last Ship starts Sunday/Monday time. If you haven't seen it, get on it.
.. the next series on from Sons of Anarchy. Ep1 has just aired.
I thought it was a bit slow in places too.. but overall I enjoyed it.
Safe Harbour on SBS on demand is good so far. Think it aired at the start of the year.
Not sure if this has been mentioned or not before, but the new series of "Alone" has started.
This time, 10 previous contestants have been invited back and dumped in the middle of Mongolia. Whoever lasts the longest wins!!
Just started the 2nd season of Goliath. Loved the first season, so have high hopes.
Yeah, I'll be having it soon. FTWD has lost me, watch maybe an episode of this season. Still watching TWD, but it needs to catch me a bit.
The Aussie accents on season 3 ep 1 of the good place had me riding back on the Aussie Simpsons episode, they are that bad! They're insulting to South Africans even. Hilarious!
Had a bit of a laugh at Fleabag earlier in the week. Killing Eve wasn't too bad either, even with that girl from some medical show in it.
yes, I don't know why.
some of these shows like better call Saul are good but really tease the stories out.
I've got 4 episodes of the latest recorded but haven't watched any yet. I really disliked Capaldi . Matt Smith was my favourite Dr (couldn't stand the Amelia Pond character though).
Don't know, was having an issue with my laptop and VPN tonight.
Made my wife sir through the first two episodes of The Bodyguard on Netflix. She is not typically a fan of British drama (sorry fp) but she was keen to watch a third tonight, but someone needed his sleep. Don't mind it so far.
Mr Inbetween. Get on it.
We both really enjoyed the 3rd season of daredevil too. My wife actually thought it was better than the first.
Have enjoyed it so far. Looking forward to more.
Anyone watching narcos mexico on Netflix?
Aaarrrggghhh, Daredevil cancelled, just as they were building up to introducing Bullseye in full flight! Damn.
Surgery Ship on SBS - if you don't get teary you haven't got a heart.
If you're ever feeling sorry for yourself with first world problems have a look at this for a reality check. Good reminder of how lucky we all are.


Synopsis:The University of Canberra has embarked on an ambitious digital transformation to the student experience, based on its firm foundations - including the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Learner Analytics (Interface) projects - using emerging technology including MarTech and Chatbots. Rebecca will share information and insights on how the University's CRM, Interface, Bots, Digital Student Journey and Course Planner projects have been delivered and interrelate and discuss how UC are looking to impact and streamline the student journey, from the time of first enquiry to the students completion, advocacy and hopeful return for further education. Rebecca will also highlight how these projects have been woven into the University's strategy 'Distinctive by design', with a vision for UC students to have a distinctive digital experience, and what this means for the team in delivering these initiatives.
How to 'own' and occupy physical space.
A proven system to make a new technique a habit.
Synopsis: There is no greater challenge facing society today than workforce transformation arising from digital transformation. Sophisticated automation and artificial intelligence technologies will impact all work and change all jobs. By some estimates, by 2030 a third of Australian jobs and up to 800 million jobs worldwide could be under threat. No matter how sophisticated technology becomes, the future of work must focus on people. The most important question is: how can we prepare people – students, graduates, workers – to succeed in the future of work? Learning has always been a positive transformative force for people and organisations. But the learning of the past looks increasingly ill fit to empower people to succeed in the future of work dominated by rapid change. To better understand how learning is changing, we need to better understand the future of work. Three dimensions of the future of work are emerging. Digital (e.g. Industry 4.0), organisational (e.g. agile), and platform (e.g. freelance) transformations are changing how value is created, how work is organised, and how work gets done.It is incumbent on universities to provide authentic opportunities for students to learn-by-doing in these environments.
Session: Student Success: What does it look like?
Synopsis: Students come to University as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself. Although some students do attend Universities for the intrinsic value of education, it is usually to get a job, to get a better job or transition to a different career. Students come in different forms such as undergraduate, postgraduate, domestic, international, online. Student success is necessarily unique to each student based on their personal circumstances and expectations. Our research shows that a number of dimensions need to work in an integrated manner to enable student success.This session will explore a proven framework for student success and how the Bayshann Connexus Platform is playing an enabling role at other Universities. The session will include a case study at James Cook University, which will be co-presented by Jonathan Churchill.
Synopsis: Culture is still the number one contributing factor to organisational success. Vibrant cultures are highly productive, retain their good staff and consistently find ways to work smarter. Unfortunately, most organisations don't commit time or money to develop a vibrant culture, choosing instead to restructure, change the office layout or 'go agile' in the hope of a quick fix. These things never work.. Drawing on his experience of working with organisations around the world to build vibrant culture, Colin will provide leaders and managers with information to make immediate changes and to ensure that the knowledge of how to build vibrant cultures becomes a priority development imperative for everyone.
Synopsis: This presentation outlines a strategic initiative, currently underway at Victoria University (VU) in Melbourne. The VU Block Model aims to transform the undergraduate student experience on a scale never before seen in Australia. This unique model deliberately focuses on students' pedagogical, transition and work/life balance needs and re-conceptualised the design, structure and delivery of 160 units of study to ensure student success. This initiative required the disruption and redevelopment of all university systems to ensure students experience a supportive and seamless transition into, and journey through, their first year of study at university.
Synopsis: Andrew will be presenting a general update on Ascender, MyeQuals and Oracle including recent modelling work that translates on premise EFTSL licences to PaaS cloud licencing.
Synopsis: The DVC Corporates have leadership responsibilities for strategy, resources, people, property and systems. Technological transformation is affecting each of these responsibilities across the HE Sector. Whilst innovation and automation are critical to institutional success they need to remain grounded through the lens of service excellence and the user experience.
Does "the organisation" understand the value that IT brings to the table? Does your IT department know how to market, to get and hold the attention of the organisation? Are you doing a good job of interacting with the organisation and being recognised for the contribution you make? Are you pro-actively creating the perception of IT as a Partner or Leader in the organisation and not just a supplier? In a time of increased outsourcing, and tightening budgets, it is even more important than ever to market to the organisation what IT can do, and how you can help them.
Synopsis: Google has 400,000 homes using Google home over Nov-Jan last year, Echo and Alexa are not far behind and Siri is used by most iPhone owners every day. The concept of a virtual assistant is now no longer the fantasy of Ironman's Jarvis/Friday – it is now already becoming an everyday utility. The opportunity for Universities to leverage AI, ML and this new set of personalized capabilities is enormous and possible game changing - enabling a student to have more active, real time and ongoing engagement with all facets of university life as they carry around an assistant in their pockets – one that can nudge, prompt, respond and guide students through their learning journey. An assistant that can become an essential addition to the universities support, teaching and engagement capabilities. George Tech, Deakin and RMIT are recent examples of how this technology is being leveraged to great effect – and in the presentation we will showcase some of these. The intention of the talk is to help inform, inspire and share some key learnings, observations and to help encourage more CIO's and University leaders to consider the opportunities these new technologies provide to position IT as much more than a service and support provider, but as an innovator and a value creator.
Synopsis: Information is quickly becoming one of the most valuable assets in higher education and business. However, achieving high levels of maturity in institutional intelligence or data driven decision making is most often limited by factors which are attributed to organisational culture. It is more critical now than ever to leverage our capabilities in technology driven data analytics, for the benefit of students and to support operational effectiveness. This presentation explores ten dimensions and ten facts of institutional intelligence and technology culture within the higher education context. A case example is used to explore key data points that make up the cycle of individual student success.
Synopsis: Since the launch of the Higher Education Reference Models, they have demonstrated their value in universities across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, with great enthusiasm in the US. As a basis for evaluating and understanding universities and their business and technology capabilities, they have been used to accelerate a myriad of initiatives from parking system implementations to the development of API roadmaps. The working group has now completed updating and improving all 210 capability descriptions to support even greater use and adoption of the models, and are now working on making the capability model as a whole even more useful through ensuring it is more broadly useable "out of the box" , and building the library of usage examples to help institutions solve their problems faster.
