Q: Getting a data from mongodb router.get('/channels', isLoggedIn, function(req, res) {
    channel.find({}, function(err, channeldata) {
        var channelMap = {};
        console.log('channelMap:');
        console.log(channelMap);
        channeldata.forEach((chn)=> {
            console.log(chn)
            var arr = chn
        });

        if(err || channeldata === null){
                res.status(404).send({
                    message: 'Channel Not Found',
                    data: []
                })
        }
        else {
                res.status(200).json({
                    message: "channel success",
                    data: arr
                })
        }
        console.log(channelMap);
        // res.send(userMap);
    });
});

here is how I implemented my GET and I am trying the get the chn which looks like

from my DB. Above is the result from console.log(chn)
I try to get this by doing
axios.get('/channels').then( (res) => {
            console.log(res);
        }).catch( (err) => {
            console.log(err);
        });

in my frontend, but the app crashes and give me an error message saying
events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

ReferenceError: arr is not defined

What did I do wrong?

A: Your issue is in the lines
channeldata.forEach((chn)=> {
            console.log(chn)
            var arr = chn
        });

You are defining arr in the for each loop, which means arr can only be used inside the loop.
if you swap arr for chn in the code
res.status(200).json({
                    message: "channel success",
                    data: arr
                })

Then that should work

Legalshiksha
Trade Mark Law and Intellectual Property in India
Trade Marks Act, 1999 is an act which provides laws relating to registration and protection of trade marks for goods and services and for the prevention of use of fraudulent marks. Trade Marks Act provides protection not only to the registered marks in India, but also to the Foreign trademarks, marks which have world wide reputation and domain names.
Trademarks are marks, which are capable of distinguishing the goods of one person from another. They act as an identity and status that an individual ascertains to its product or services to establish monopoly over such name,shape of goods,their packaging and combination of colors.
By the registration of a trade mark, exclusive rights to use the trademark are granted to the owner which prevents others from profiting from the good will and reputation earned by the owner of the mark. It allows the owner of the trademark to obtain Injunction against the other for infringement or passing off. They can be registered for a period of 10 years and can be renewed by paying a nominal fee as prescribed, for further extension of time.
Penalty for applying false trade marks and trade description with a intent to defraud is punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months but which may extend to three years and with fine which shall not be less than fifty thousand rupees but which may extend to two lakh rupees.
Difference between Passing off and Infringement?
Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attached to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner. A trademark is said to be infringed, when the other person tries to use the goodwill and reputation of the registered trademark and make profits from such registered trademark. Passing off suit can be initiated in the case of even non registered trademarks.
The principle underlying the tort of passing off is that "A man is not to sell his own goods under the pretense that they are the goods of another man" (Perry v Truefitt, 1842)
If someone leads consumers to believe that their goods or services are connected with another business when they are not, they may give the other business grounds to sue for passing off. While filing for infringement,the Plaintiff is only required to show deceptive similarity,as there is a presumption of confusion. Whereas in,Passing off the Plaintiff apart from proving the dissimilarity shall also produce the proof of confusion in public and the likelihood of damage of goodwill of the Plaintiff.
Some of the examples of judgement in the past:
Example for Passing off, DM Entertainment Vs Baby Gift Ors: Daler Mehendar, is a famous pop star from Punjab, and has a large fan base and popular among punjabi music lovers. DM Entertainment was incorporated to manage the artist's escalating career.This company was assigned with all the rights,titles and interests in the personality of the artist. The defendant company was making large profits by selling miniature dolls of the artist, without obtaining licence from the plaintiff company. A suit to obtain injunction against the defendant was filed, as the unauthorized use of the artist's reputation for selling goods will make the buyers believe that the brand is associated with the singer, leading to passing off.
Example for Test of Similarity: In Mumtaz Ahmed Vs Pakeeza Chemicals, it has been laid that, In order to come to the conclusion, whether a product is deceptively similar to another, they should not be placed side by side to find out if there's any difference,it would be enough if the impugned mark bears such an overall similarity to the registered mark as would likely to mislead a person.

TV ad spend up and down
There was limited good news for broadcasters, online businesses and cinemas in the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ad spend figures released for 2013. Overall adspend grew to $2.274 billion in 2013 from $2.164 billion in 2012. The spend on TV advertising fell as a percentage of that overall spend, but in cold hard dollar terms grew $20 million to $634 million.
In cash terms it's good news, although the figure remains $9 million below the $643 million spent on TV advertising back in 2004 – when it was spent on far fewer channels.
TV became the biggest category of adspend in 2011, onscreen advertising overtaking newspaper advertising for the first time that year. TV grew its lead over newspaper advertising again in 2013.
Cinema advertising spend grew a little in 2013, to $8 million, but still sits a long way down on its 2004 heyday, when the spend sat at $13 million.
Interactive, the youngster of the advertising bunch, has naturally seen considerable growth in the last decade. From accounting for $15 million worth of spend back in 2004, its 2013 spend was $471 million. Spend jumped over $100 million in 2013, tipping Interactive over 20% of overall ad spend for the first time. It now sits only 1% ($23 million) shy of the second largest category, newspaper advertising.
Other categories contributing to the $2.274 billion spend were radio, magazine, outdoor, addressed mail and unaddressed aka junk mail.

Based on the size of your candle and the space available on the labels, there are character count limits for the candle name and other wordings. Just reach out to us for the guideline.
*We reserve the right to reject a name if it is deemed offensive, insensitive or in violation of our company guidelines and standards.

Oman relies on technological innovations to fight COVID-19 pandemic
Oman has witnessed a spurt in technological innovations and start-up activity as researchers, entrepreneurs as well as the government pushes to fight the COVID-19 crisis.
At the onset of the pandemic, Oman Technology Fund (OTF), announced the allocation OR1mn for investment in technology startups in Oman that provide immediate solutions for the community to overcome the challenges caused by the spread of COVID-19. The fund till now has supported seven tech-startups, ranging from providing medical services to providing fruit, vegetables, fish among others.
The aim of the initiative is to provide technical solutions to help citizens and residents to abide by social distancing, which is the mainstay of Oman's efforts to check the spread of COVID-19.
The Research Council as well launched a COVID-19 research programme. It focuses on financially supporting projects conducting short-term applied research in various clinical and non-clinical fields associated with the pandemic.
These include diagnostics, the role of telemedicine, the application of artificial intelligence, and the impacts on business and the economy, according to a report by Oxford Business Group (OBG).
A case in point is Sonnaa Oman, which is based at the Research Council's Muscat Innovation Complex.
'It has developed a digital artificial respiration device that simulates the ventilation system already approved for use in the country's hospitals. The prototype, which was developed in coordination with specialist doctors and engineers, has been subjected to several quality control tests in recent weeks, prior to large-scale production of the device,' reported OBG.
The National Business Centre, which is linked to Madayn, took part in a virtual global start-up competition between April 24 and 26, aimed at stimulating new ideas to combat Covid-19.
Of the Omani participants, start-up Wareed came first with its new digital platform designed to quickly connect suspected Covid-19 patients with their doctors.
The start-up weekend followed the launches of several other digital platforms developed in response to specific economic and social challenges that have been presented by the pandemic.
These include a platform, which facilitates home delivery of medicines to elderly people; easy, a distance-learning platform; and Igtimaati, an Oman-based application providing video-conferencing services.
In addition, the Muscat Municipality has been using drones both to sterilise neighbourhoods and to conduct remote heat temperature examinations on those suspected of having the virus.

Bug bounty hunter earns $2mn on HackerOne
By IANS| Published: 27th December 2020 9:40 pm IST
San Francisco, Dec 27 : Hacker-powered security platform HackerOne has said that Cosmin Iordache has become the first bug bounty hunter to earn more than $2 million in bounty awards on the platform.
Cosmin (aka @inhibitor181) last year became the one of the few hackers to earn $1 million in bounty awards.
"334 days ago we announced Cosmin as the 7th hacker to reach $1 million dollars in earnings. Today, we celebrate his achievement to be the FIRST to reach $2 million," HackerOne said in a tweet last week.
According to a report in BleepingComputer, he switched to bug bounty hunting in late 2017.
READ: Consent of minor no defence to kidnapping charge: SC
HackerOne announced the first millionaire hacker, 19-year-old Argentinian Santiago Lopez, in March 2019.
So far, only nine bug bounty hunters have earned $1 million on the platform.
The platform earlier this month announced its decision to join AWS Marketplace.
"As one of the first comprehensive security solutions providers offered in AWS Marketplace, HackerOne offers solutions and services to discover security risks, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations faster and remediate priority issues with the right skills and the right team," the platform said in a statement.

Home/Language/English/Water Management: The Use of Stars in Oman
Water Management: The Use of Stars in Oman
Harriet Nash
139pp, Illustrated throughout in colour and black and white
Sub-series name:
Society for Arabian Studies Monographs (now British Foundation for the Study of Arabia Monographs), 11
The study presents fast disappearing information on the ethnography of agricultural communities in northern Oman and especially on the use of stars. It aims to identify the stars used and record the methods of stargazing in sufficient detail that the systems could be replicated if all local knowledge were lost. It also aims to raise awareness and improve the understanding of the significance of the traditional use of the stars in irrigated agriculture. This aspect of the cultural heritage of the region has not been written about previously in such detail. The main reason for the continued use of stars by a few communities, even though wristwatches are now widely available, is thought to be adherence to tradition both for its own sake and to avoid disputes over the sharing of water. It is considered unlikely that this ancient practice will survive more than 10 or 20 years unless the younger generation takes an interest in learning, and putting into practice, the traditions of their forefathers.


The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) invite you to participate in a survey on overcoming barriers to investing in energy efficiency. The survey is part of a joint study by the C2E2 and UNECE that aims to examine and recommend measures that support increased investment in energy efficiency. A part of the survey specifically targets barriers and investment flows to industrial energy efficiency.
The survey is aimed at experts, business managers and company representatives, representatives of financial institutions, and government officials dealing with energy efficiency in a particular country, region, or city. Participants of the survey may also include individuals working in an international organization or multinational company in a country office or branch or working closely with a particular country or a small group of countries.
Deadline to complete the survey: 31 January 2017.


All Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are funded by the Australian Government to respond directly to national health priorities.
Commissioned services are guided by national policy across targeted health priority areas including Mental Health, Chronic Disease, After Hours Primary Health Care, Addictions, Child and Maternal Health, Health Intelligence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, Aged Care and Provider capability development.
As commissioners, PHNs are expected to understand the health care needs of their communities through health needs analysis and annual planning and to procure services from local providers through a regional commissioning approach.

This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.
The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.
You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

Containing group: Ditrysia
Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
The hypothesis of relationships is based on the combined morphological/molecular cladistic analysis of Warren et al. (2008). Eudaminae is removed from Pyrginae in order to preserve monophyly of the latter. Pyrrhopygini (formerly viewed as a subfamily) is nested within Pyrginae.

Q: Memory overflow when loading multiple files sequentially in python I have a big dataset containing 100M records, where each record has two id columns as the foreign keys to two other files. After merging the datasets, each record have around 3000 columns. Since it is not possible to join this huge dataset with two other files, I have divided this dataset into 1000 files each containing 100k records. The following function reads a file and merge it with two other files:
def merge_data(path):
    db1 = pd.read_csv('../data/db1.csv')
    db2 = pd.read_csv('../data/db2.csv')
    temp = pd.read_csv(path)
    temp = pd.merge(temp, db1, on='db1_id', how='left')
    temp = pd.merge(temp, db2, on='db2_id', how='left')

    return temp.drop('target', axis=1), temp['target']

Now, the following code tries to read these files sequentially:
for f in files_list:
     Xdf, ydf = merge_data(f)
     # processing Xdf, ydf

When I run this code, the first file is read without problem, but for the second file, the RAM overflowed and it starts to use the swap which slows down the process and freezes the jupyter notebook. I think if I can release the memory assigned to Xdf and ydf, the problem is resolved. For now, I have tried the gc.collect() and del Xdf, ydf, without any success. Any advice to handle this situation is appreciated.

Your First Look at BY NIGHT #2 from John Allison & Christine Larsen
BOOM! Studios is proud to present your first look at BY NIGHT #2, the next chapter in the acclaimed new monthly series from 2018 Eisner Award-nominated writer John Allison (Giant Days) and artist Christine Larsen (Adventure Time) about coming home, discovering identity, and accidentally smashing a hole to another dimension.
After meeting a friendly new face in the alternate dimension they've stumbled upon, Heather (eagerly) and Jane (reluctantly) agree to venture further in. With their trusty camcorder to record what they find and an inhuman new buddy, there's no turning back! Now, if they can just make their documentary while also surviving the monsters and magic in this new world, they'll be super-rich and everything will be great. As far as fool-proof plans go…well, it's a plan.
"This series is a spooky, goofy pleasure, and just keeps getting better!" said Shannon Watters, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios.

Warwick Davis on heartbreaking impact of loss of his firstborn baby
'It's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone, it's devastating': Warwick Davis speaks out on the heartbreaking impact the loss of his firstborn baby had on him and his wife Samantha

Warwick Davis has spoken out about the ongoing impact the death of his first child has had on him.
The actor, 52, and his wife Samantha, 51, lost their baby Lloyd just nine days after he was born in 1991 after inheriting dwarfism from both his parents which caused complications.
And Harry Potter star Warwick has now said in a new interview that he would not wish the 'devastating' experience on anyone, adding: 'You never get over it.'
Heartbreaking: Warwick Davis, 52, has spoken out about the ongoing impact the death of his first child has had on him (pictured this month)
He told People: 'I think it brings you closer together, or something like that. But it's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's devastating.
'You do learn to live with it. Eventually, over time, you're able to better understand why it happened and can come to terms with it a bit more. But you never get over it.
'I think the losses shaped our family dynamic. We love Annabelle and Harrison all that more because they're here with us.'
Devastating: The actor and his wife Samantha, 51, lost their baby Lloyd just nine days after he was born in 1991 after inheriting dwarfism from both his parents which caused complications (pictured in 2015)
Warwick and Samantha are parents to their actress daughter Annabelle, 25, and their actor son Harrison, 19.
They lost a second child when Samantha miscarried at 20 weeks in 1993, with the couple naming the baby George.
He added: 'We'll always remember what happened with George and Lloyd. We'll always be grateful that we had them for the short time that we did.'
Difficult times: Warwick and Samantha lost a second child when Samantha miscarried at 20 weeks in 1993, with the couple naming the baby George (Warwick and Samantha are pictured with son Harrison, 19 (left), and daughter Annabelle, 25 (right), last month)
Willow star Warwick previously said the tragedies made him and Samantha stronger as a couple.
Speaking on Bear Grylls' television show Bear's Mission in 2018, he said: 'Prior to Annabelle and Harrison we had a baby boy, Lloyd, who inherited both our conditions… and that is something that proves fatal.
'It's something that a baby won't survive. But Lloyd he lived for survived for nine days, but yeah he was beautiful… but it was a tough time. And yeah, we had a stillborn too.'
The star said he and his wife had made it through the painful time together, saying: 'That kind of stuff it just makes you stronger [as a couple].'
Warwick was born with an extremely rare condition called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED), where the bone endings fail to form. It meant he never grew taller than 3ft 6in.
His wife Sam has a different form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.
Their children Annabelle and Harrison have inherited their father's condition and are both aspiring actors, having appeared in Harry Potter.
Both Lloyd and George were born with achondroplasia and SED, a genetic combination that was always going to be fatal.

WHAT IS DWARFISM?
Restricted growth, sometimes known as dwarfism, is a condition characterised by short stature.
There are two main types of restricted growth:
Proportionate short stature (PSS) – a general lack of growth, where the length of the trunk and limbs are in proportion
Disproportionate short stature (DSS) – where the limbs are shorter or out of proportion with other parts of the body
As well as having short stature, some people with restricted growth also have other physical problems, such as bowed legs or an unusually curved spine.
However, most people don't have any other serious problems. They can often live a relatively normal life and have a normal life expectancy.

Classic Biscuit in front, emergency biscuit behind!
You guys, I love American biscuits. In fact, living in a country that does not understand the Breakfast Perfection that is an (American) Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit is probably the only downfall of living in Scotland. But they're totally one of those foods I have never been able to make very well myself. The second Christmas Judson and I were dating, we decided to make ham and biscuits for a progressive dinner we were invited to.* Unsurprisingly, this turned out… poorly. So poorly, in fact, that 20 minutes before the dinner was to start, when we realised our biscuits had come out more like crackers, I had to drive to the nearest Whole Foods and buy a half dozen varieties of fancy mustards and chutneys to spread the biscuits/hard tack with to try to remedy the situation. Judson's neighbours were nice about it, but I was pretty disappointed in us. I mean, biscuits! They have 3 ingredients! They shouldn't be difficult!
I seem to have inherited my mom's complete inability to make biscuits, though, (sorry, mom!), so I've been apprehensive (at best) to tackle these two biscuit recipes. First of all, why did Eleanor even have these? I'm pretty sure my mom didn't taste a biscuit until she was in her 20s, and I can't imagine Eleanor making (or eating) something as southern as biscuits… but here we are. I had a bit of luck with the 'shortcakes' from this strawberry shortcake recipe back in the summer, but although the flavour on that batch was great, they were still dry enough that I wouldn't have enjoyed them by themselves, not coated in juicy strawberries and whipped cream.
So I've been both stoked to make this recipe (potential for biscuits!) but also nervous because what if I get my hopes up and then they go the way all my other biscuit forays have gone? I delayed making these two recipes for ages because I was nervous, but then I realised the fact that one of them is called 'Emergency Biscuits' was just too funny not to share. What possible emergency is there where biscuits are the only solution? You're stuck in a flood of gravy with nothing to sop up the mess? There's an abundance of fried eggs, crispy bacon and melty cheese in your kitchen and you need an edible thing to sandwich it all between before you chow down? As it turns out, Emergency Biscuits have basically the exact same ingredients in very nearly the exact same quantities as the regular biscuits, but instead of patting them out and cutting them with a biscuit cutter (ahem, juice glass—why would I have a biscuit cutter when I can't make biscuits?), you just take a spoonful of dough and pat it into a small mound.
So I made these recipes back to back, baked 'em both up, and then did the taste-testing. Judson mocked the shape and overall look of the 'emergency biscuits,' but then upon tasting both side by side, we came to the conclusion that the emergency variety was actually better. However, I'm going to go ahead and caveat that the only reason we liked the emergency biscuits better is because they are easier to make, and thus came out better for this experienced non-biscuit baker. If you're good at making biscuits, I have no idea which one you'll like better, but if you're as bad at it as me, then start with the emergency version—they're simple and nearly foolproof: the perfect beginner's biscuit!
Emergency biscuit: slightly less smooth, but also a lot fluffier!
*Whose idea was this? The year before we made shrimp dip and a plate of crackers. What hubris possessed us to think that in one year our cooking skills had progressed from 'mix together cream cheese and shrimp' to 'make an entire ham and enough biscuits to feed 30 people'?
5 spoons out of five. Easier than the regular kind, easier to clean up since you don't have to make a mess of the countertop, and even though they're not quite as pretty as a nice flat-topped biscuit, they have the perfect buttery crumb that makes me hungry just thinking about it.
3 spoons out of five. They're tasty and still relatively easy, but my skill level is still not great and so mine came out quite a bit flatter than I wanted them to, though they were still delicious, soft, and tasted great with salted butter and a nice slick of marmalade.
Sift flour once, add baking powder and salt, then sift again.
Cut in shortening, then add milk very slowly, stirring until a soft dough is formed.
Drop from a tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Sift flour once, then measure.
Add baking powder and salt, then sift again.
Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead very gently for 20 seconds, or enough for dough to take on a basic shape.
Pat or roll dough 1/2-inch thick and cut with a floured biscuit cutter or juice glass.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10-12 minutes until golden brown.


Consumer insights can drive brand-building and product development. However, the ability to capture and analyse the data required to develop those insights is still evolving. According to an EIU survey of senior executives in large consumer goods (CG) companies, gathering consumer insights to improve product (44%) and marketing programmes (35%) are important objectives of their direct-to-consumer efforts. "Social media, and Facebook in particular, is proving to be extremely rewarding in helping us listen to and understand consumers and to help our brands build different types of relationships with consumers," says Alex Tosolini, vice president of global e-business at Procter & Gamble (P&G).
organisation is "very effective" at leveraging customer data and insights to improve interactions with consumers. Unsurprisingly, this figure rises among larger companies: 72% of respondents at companies with revenues of US$5bn-10bn say they are very effective at leveraging customer data. Some are still getting their arms around big data sets. Twenty-nine percent say they collect plenty of consumer data but do not have the tools to analyse them effectively, while 32% believe they do not collect enough data to develop meaningful consumer insights—high numbers given advances in the tools and technologies used to capture, store and analyse consumer data.
The goal for many of these companies is fi ne-tuning their methods for leveraging the data they are collecting. The good news is that CG marketers do not have to strain their budgets to figure out the best approaches, because digital media enable them to test and learn quickly with minimal investment. "With social media, you can test, learn and expand quickly on a limited budget," says Howard Friedman, senior vice-president of marketing for Kraft Cheese & Dairy. "You don't have to spend a million dollars to see if something works."

Home Environment & Conservation Our Watersheds Cedar River Watershed Cedar River Watershed Biodiversity
View slideshow of fish passage past Landsburg dam.
Nineteen fish species have been documented in the watershed, including three that are listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act (bull trout, steelhead trout, and Chinook salmon).
Seventeen of the documented species (pdf) are native.
Most of this diversity is in the streams and lakes of the lower watershed (See Lower Cedar River Watershed Map (pdf) ).
A fish passage facility at Landsburg Diversion Dam opened in 2003. The fish ladder allows fish to move upstream from the Cedar River below Landsburg into lower watershed streams, which the dam had prevented for over 100 years.
Only four species occur in the upper watershed (See Upper Cedar River Watershed Map (pdf)):
bull trout (Salvelinus confluentes)
pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulteri)
shorthead sculpin (Cottus confusus)
It is likely that the rainbow trout population in the upper watershed is introduced, but populations of the other three species have been isolated for at least 13,000 years by a natural barrier to upstream passage at Cedar Falls.

Why stars at the ABS-CBN Ball are wearing blue ribbons
Posted at Sep 29 2018 07:12 PM
Stars of attending the ABS-CBN Ball are enjoined to wear this blue ribbon during the event. ABS-CBN/Metro
As stars descended on the red carpet of the ABS-CBN Ball Saturday, many of them had pinned on their suits and dresses blue ribbons that symbolize a cause being championed in this year's gathering.
With "Share the Love" as its tagline this year, ABS-CBN Ball aims to raise funds and bring attention to the programs of Bantay Bata 163, specifically the re-launch of its Children's Village in Norzagaray, Bulacan.
"It's a place where we bring the children we rescue," Bantay Bata 163 program director Jing Castañeda said during the ball's primer aired on ANC. "We call it a 'home that heals,' a home that gives hope. Because that's what the children we rescue lose — the sense of hope, and that's where we teach them to dream again."
Referring to the blue ribbon worn by celebrities at the ABS-CBN Ball, Castañeda explained: "This is actually the international color for child abuse. Child abuse is a worldwide phenomenon. It's not just a problem in the Philippines; it's a problem in several countries. This is our way of promoting prevention of child abuse."
Aside from the fundraising efforts of the ABS-CBN Ball, Castañeda believes Bantay Bata 163 stands to benefit as well from the buzz surrounding the annual event, which is regarded as the biggest gathering of stars in local showbiz.
"The mere fact that we are the beneficiary, it's a huge help in generating awareness for our advocacy, which is prevention of child abuse," she said.
Castañeda added that the organization is looking forward to forging partnerships with stars attending the ball, not just for the Children's Village, but also for Bantay Bata 163's other programs.
Established in 1997, Bantay Bata 163 works to protect and ensure the welfare of children, also through medical and educational assistance. Since its inception, the organization has helped more than a million Filipino children.

Phillies 2, Orioles 2: Mackanin Disappointed After Losing No-hitter, Lead in the 9th
By Jim Salisbury | CSNPhilly.com	• Published March 16, 2017 • Updated on March 16, 2017 at 10:20 pm
SARASOTA, Fla. -- It was just a spring training game. Nonetheless, there was disappointment in Pete Mackanin's voice when it was over.

Phillies Agree to Deal With Free-Agent Reliever Archie Bradley
The Phillies came within two outs of a combined no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. The no-hit bid ended when Chris Dickerson singled against reliever Michael Mariot with one out in the bottom of the ninth. Mariot was then unable to hold the Phillies' 2-0 lead. He allowed a two-run homer to the next hitter, Sean Coyle, and the game ended in a 2-2 tie.
The homer was a thrill for Coyle, who grew up in suburban Philadelphia, played at Germantown Academy and was a third-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in 2010.
It was not a thrill for Mackanin.
"It's a shame to lose the no-hitter," he said.
Even in spring training?
"A no-hitter is a no-hitter," he said. "It would have been nice to win that game."
Vince Velasquez, Jake Thompson and Colton Murray preceded Mariot.
Ryan Hanigan (RBI single) and Andrew Knapp (solo homer) drove in the Phillies' runs. Knapp has been 1 for 22 on the spring before the homer.
Velasquez' learning experience
If you were looking for distilled essence of Velasquez, the hard-throwing right-hander offered it in 3 2/3 innings of work.
His stuff was good enough to strike out six batters over the span.
By his control was so poor, especially in the first inning, that he walked four.
He ended up throwing 76 pitches, 39 strikes and 37 balls -- a terrible ratio.
High pitch counts like this were a nemesis for Velasquez last season, often preventing him from getting through the middle innings and pitching deeper into games. Being more economical with his pitches is a big goal for Velasquez this spring and season.
So it didn't happen for him on Thursday night.
But that doesn't mean the outing was a total loss. Velasquez called it a great learning experience. Though he allowed four base runners -- all on walks -- he did not give up a run. In baseball parlance, he pitched when he had to.
"This was a good, solid outing to learn from," Velasquez said. "Knowing that I was throwing a lot of pitches, I had to throw pitches in certain situations, in key situations. The changeup was working pretty well, helping me out a lot and also setting up my fastball for some of the strikeouts. Everything was pretty much down in the dirt but I had to make adjustments.
"This was pretty much one of the games where I needed to make pitches to get outs, especially bases loaded with a tough team like this. You've got to make the pitches in the heat of the moment."
Velasquez did that in the first inning. He walked three and struck out two in the frame. After the third walk, which loaded the bases, he was at 25 pitches for the inning and 15 were balls. He received a mound visit from pitching coach Bob McClure and proceeded to end the inning with two pitches and a fly ball to left.
"He was just giving me a break, trying to gather me up again," Velasquez said.
"Just the mental thing of calm down, get your composure back and breathe. It's amazing how just one meeting can change the outcome."
Velasquez often tapped his pitching hand against his leg, especially in the first inning when he had control problems. He was asked if he had a problem feeling his hand on a chilly Florida night. That was not the case. He was reminding himself to stay back and over the rubber and not get too aggressive in his delivery.
"I was reminding myself to try to be a little more controlled, be balanced and just let it work," he said.
It was an adjustment that seemed to help Velasquez in the second inning, and his overall takeaway from the night was positive.
"I think I can really take this (outing) and keep this under my hat and apply it later on down the road whenever I hit that bump again because everyone has the ups and downs," Velasquez said. "I had it last year and I've got to do my best to prevent it. This was a good learning experience to keep under my hat for the next outing. I'm glad it happened."
The Phillies host the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday afternoon. Aaron Nola will start for the Phillies against Marco Estrada. The Phillies will wear their tradition green St. Patrick's Day garb.

Queen Elizabeth II Planetarium
2021 Ecclesiastical Insurance Cornerstone Award (Transformative Projects)
Photo: Steven Hope, Zebra Society, Edmonton
This transformative restoration is a tribute to the City of Edmonton's commitment to retain and adaptively reuse its historic resources, and an excellent example of strong collaboration with a community partner to ensure a sustainable project.
Completed in 1960, the Queen Elizabeth II Planetarium was the first public planetarium in Canada, primarily serving the youth of Edmonton and the surrounding district as part of public school activities. It had welcomed over a million visitors by the time it closed in 1983 after a larger planetarium, Telus World of Science, was built nearby. The Planetarium subsequently remained unused for over 37 years.
Located in the centre of Coronation Park and designated a Municipal Heritage Resource in 2016, the City of Edmonton made the decision to restore the unique city landmark as part of the Coronation Park Master Plan. The aim was to reactivate and enhance a community gathering place, while honouring the heritage and historical and architectural importance of the original exterior structure and increasing the functionality of its interior. Partnering with Telus World of Science, the Planetarium will provide indoor space to support their programming and events.

On 2 November 2021, a major insurgent attack occurred at the Sardar Mohammad Daoud Khan Military Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. At least 25 people were killed.

Background
Islamic State began an insurgency in Afghanistan in 2015. They claimed responsibility for a 2017 attack on Daoud Khan hospital.

Attack
On 2 November 2021, bombers and gunmen attacked Daoud Khan Military Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. A suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated his explosives at the gate of the hospital followed by four attackers. The attackers stormed the hospital and killed multiple people including Mawlawi Hamdullah Mukhlis leader of the Kabul Corps of the Islamic Army of Afghanistan who was also known as the "Conqueror of Kabul" after he became the first senior Taliban figure to occupy the Afghanistan presidential palace during the August 15, 2021 Taliban takeover of Kabul. The attack was followed by a second more powerful explosion also at the gate. Taliban commando then arrived via helicopter and engaged in a firefight with the Islamic state gun leading to the deaths of all the attackers.

6 fields on which you should think about investing for Future Trends
Day Trade The World™ » Trading Blog » 6 fields on which you should think about investing for Future Trends
A Guide on How to Invest For the Future Trends
Ride Hailing
The world is changing very fast. Consider this. The smartphone is less than 15 years old. Facebook, and other prominent social media networks are less than 20 years old. Amazon, and other e-commerce platforms are relatively new. All these changes show how fast the world is changing and how the people who invested in the new age companies have accumulated a lot of wealth.
For example, Jeff Bezos is now the richest man on earth, with a fortune of more than $100 billion. This fortune came from Amazon, a company that has revolutionized the world.
This article explains a few themes that have emerged and the companies you can invest in.
Cord cutting is a practice that is spreading around the world. Instead of subscribing to hundreds of television stations that you rarely watch, people are subscribing to mobile applications that have all the content they need. Netflix was among the first companies in this industry.
Today, Netflix is worth more than $120 billion and has disrupted the traditional companies. Other companies like Apple, Disney, Comcast, and AT&T have entered the industry.
→ The (Disney) Empire Strikes Back. Who Will Win in the Ongoing Streaming War?
Today, we are in an age where artificial intelligence is taking over. This is an industry that is changing how everything works. A few months ago, a Japanese insurance company replaced its staff with artificial intelligence platform.
In our homes, we have smart speakers that we can interact with and in our smart phones, we have platforms that can help our daily lives automatically.
The field of artificial intelligence is very vast. Therefore, to invest in it, there are companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
We talked about Algorithms that help to automate your trading here.
Autonomous driving is an interesting industry where cars will be driving themselves. The industry is being billed as the future of the vehicle industry. As a result, the autonomous systems being developed by countries like Google, Tesla, and General Motors has received a lot of financing.
In fact, Google's Waymo is currently valued at more than $100 billion. Therefore, if you believe in this industry, you can invest in these companies.
Uber has revolutionized the transportation industry. The company has disrupted the traditional taxi industry and is now valued at more than $120 billion. Two weeks ago, Uber's competitor, Lyft became a public company and is now value at more than $20 billion.
Therefore, these companies will continue disrupting the transportation industry. They have invested greatly in scooters and other modes of transportation.
Cloud computing allows people and companies to store their data online. They can also access it at any time. The benefit of this is that the companies don't need to invest vast resources in physical infrastructure. Cloud is easy to implement and relatively cheaper and safer.
Therefore, with most companies moving to the cloud, you can invest in companies that provide the cloud solutions. Examples of these are Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM.
A lot of people around the world are moving from fossil fuels. This is because they are now more aware of the climate change debate.
Therefore, this has seen companies that are advancing from fossil fuels do well. Some of these companies are Tesla and Nio.

For years now, ultralight camping gear has mostly been a cottage industry, albeit with a few big-name players operating there as well. The amount of money needed to buy some decent ultralight camping kit, even at a starter level, has historically been pretty eye-watering.
This initial investment can be enough to put people off dipping their toe in the water when it comes to ultralight backpacking. Lately, however, we've noticed a big shift in the market.
The 'Ali Express Effect'
A lot of the traditionally known ultralight camping brands suddenly have a lot of competition from companies based in China, such as Naturehike and 3F UL Gear. Most of these Chinese companies operate through Ali Express, which serves as a means of connecting them directly with consumers all over the world.
Ultralight camping gear companies on Ali Express typically offer gear that is more or less on par with traditional western brands, quality-wise. Crucially, however, they sell this gear at a much more competitive price.
We feel that the price of decent gear is one of the key barriers to entry that prevents more people from going ultralight, so we see this affordable kit from Ali Express as a huge positive! We want more people to try out ultralight camping, and anything that helps people dip their toe in the water seems like a good thing to us 🙂
So – there is a proliferation of (relatively) cheap, exciting new ultralight gear coming out of Ali Express. How do you know which hidden gems are worth picking up? That's where Thrifty Hiker comes in : )
This blog is where we share reviews of our favourite ultralight gear, i.e. items that we regularly take hiking and camping ourselves. We also feature reviews of 'Not Ali Express gear' from time to time. Our main aim is to encourage people to go ultralight without having to spend a small fortune, so if we find gear that fits the bill outside of Ali Express, we'll be sure to add our two cents!
Finally, we want everyone who visits us to know that we do share affiliate links on the site – it's how we keep the lights on. But we only share affiliate links for gear we really, truly love.

Soccer deal extended
November 6, 2002, 12:00 CET
A collaboration agreement with the Norwegian Football Association (NFF) has been extended by Statoil for a further three years until the end of 2005.
This deal means that the group will continue to be a member of the NFF's Team Norway club of sponsors.
"We've supported Norwegian soccer for many years, and have a good partnership with the NFF," says Oddvar Høie, marketing manager in Statoil's promotion and publications department.
"An important part of this agreement is that we remain the principal sponsor for the national women's team."
Soccer is the fastest-growing women's sport, both in Norway and internationally, and about 75,000 Norwegian women play the game today.
The collaboration with the NFF also allows Statoil to promote its brand at football grounds and through games broadcast nationwide on TV in Norway.
"We're very pleased to continue this collaboration," says Mr Høie. "It also strengthens the other sponsor deals we have in the sports area.
"These include handing out free shirts to youngsters involved in team sports as well as the partnership we recently established with Norwegian football star Ole Gunnar Solskjær."
Statoil has collaborated with the NFF since 1993.
