Study shows ladder falls cause most Georgia workplace injuries
On Behalf of Skibiel Law | Apr 30, 2014 | Workplace Safety
Studies have shown that workers falling from ladders number among the most common on-the-job accidents. Georgia workers and their families often suffer hardships after such falls and their earning capacity may never fully recover as the result of the injuries sustained. While the fall itself is naturally scary, this is followed by the painful impact and the realization that the workplace injuries may be severe enough to affect the remainder of their lives.
In a recent study done by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it was found that one of the primary causes of accidental injury and death in the U.S. is falls and almost half of the fatalities were ladder-related falls. It was reported that ladders are involved in about 20 percent of all workers' injuries. In addition, the study showed that, of all construction workers' injuries reported to emergency departments in 2011, 81 percent were thought to have been ladder falls.
The leader of the study group said that the majority of these accidents could have been prevented if better safety procedures were practiced. The group recommended research into the prevention of ladder falls. Until new technologies are available to cut down on injuries sustained from ladder falls, employers and workers should explore ways to perform more operations on ground level without ladder use. By supplying secure scaffolds or aerial lifts, ladder use may be avoided. If, however, ladders have to be used, they should be properly inspected and be suitable for the weight of the worker, along with being appropriate for the task and the location where they are to be used.
Georgia workers who have suffered workplace injuries, whether or not they are the result of insufficient safety training or unsafe working environments, have the right to claim benefits from workers' compensation. This process may prove to be confusing, or even intimidating. Workers, or the families who may have lost loved ones, are free to seek assistance in their pursuit of the full medical, lost wage and/or survivor benefits to which they are entitled.

The Uncertain Fate of Post-Brexit Cinema
Published on January 30, 2017 January 31, 2017 by Euroculturer Magazine1 Comment

Emilie Oudet
What do The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Queen all have in common?
Each one benefited from EU funds for artistic creation. Perhaps your first response would be, "Who cares?" After all, who really pays attention to the EU's actions or even knows what the EU concretely does? Yet the three well-known movies I just mentioned are all British, and it's possible none of them would have been produced without EU financing. In the light of Brexit, it seems worth considering whether the future of the British cinema industry is now at stake.
The EU's subventions for British cinema could stop as soon as Brexit becomes effective. This is not an insignificant amount of money: in 2014 and 2015, the Europe Creative Media fund invested no less than 28.5 million Euros in the audio-visual sector of the UK. In 2016, the Palme d'Or winner I, Daniel Blake, directed by British filmmaker Ken Loach, received 100,000 Euros from that EU fund. With this money off the table, it is clear that British cinema won't be the same.

The first affected would be independent British cinema, which benefits most from EU funds. But it would eventually impact the entire sector, as stressed in the letter signed before the Brexit referendum by 282 of the world's biggest creative industry names – including Keira Knightley, Jude Law, and Steve McQueen – written in support of Britain remaining in the EU. The letter states that "From the smallest gallery to the biggest blockbuster, many of us have worked on projects that would never have happened without vital EU funding or by collaborating across borders. Britain is not just stronger in Europe, it is more imaginative and more creative, and our global creative success would be severely weakened by walking away." This is not just a question of access to funds – this is also a question of access to the European market. The EU is currently the largest export market for UK movies, and Brexit may well mean the reinstatement of customs duties for exportation to Europe, as well as the need for work permits and potentially additional taxes. Furthermore, various European quotas are in place in the Union that would be affected; since the 1989 "Television Without Frontiers" directive, half of the content on TV has to be of European origin in every member state. Until now, British movies have been considered European movies… but this may soon come to an end, meaning that the UK is going to have more difficulty in distributing and gaining exposure for its shows and movies across Europe.
The consequences of Brexit are not only a business concern; it is also a matter for British culture. With the EU closing access to its funds, Hollywood will become the main financier of British cinema. The result may be more of a focus on business, and less on creativity. Moreover, it will have a detrimental impact on the rest of Europe, not only in terms of fewer British movies in our cinemas, but also fewer EU-Britain co-productions.
After the Brexit vote, Amanda Nevill, CEO of the British Film Institute (BFI), tried to reassure British people, arguing that Britain is "one of the most creative nations on Earth" and thus is strong enough to manage leaving the EU. However, not everyone was so confident. Producer Mike Downey, CEO of Film & Music Entertainment (F&ME) and deputy chairman of the European Film Academy, maintains that "from the overall UK industry perspective, this move is a disastrous one and the repercussions will resonate far and wide." Downey argues that the only way for British cinema creativity to survive Brexit is to stay in the Europe Creative Media programme, pointing out that Article 8 of the regulation establishing Creative Europe stipulates that countries other than EU Member States may participate in the programme.

It is clear that the consequences of Brexit could be tragic, not only for the film industry and for British culture, but also for European culture as a whole. However, perhaps it can also make European people realise that the EU is actively engaged in the promotion of art and culture, and that this is something we shouldn't disregard, given its role in our daily lives. Thus, it appears high time we become aware of the EU's cultural policy, and gain a broader understanding of what being a member state actually means in terms of culture. By leaving the EU, British cinema will lose a significant part of its financing, its access to the single market – including the free movement of people – and will therefore have to pay additional taxes and work permits. Even if the main production companies can survive, the independent British cinema will suffer greatly, and may be left on the bench.

Mahindra XUV700 to Get 'Smart Door Handles' – A la Range Rover Velar!
The Mahindra XUV 700 is inching closer to its launch with every passing day. In the pre-cursor to the official debut of the vehicle, Mahindra has been teasing various features of its new flagship through short video clips on social media. Earlier, we reported about the new SUV's auto headlamp booster and a largest-in-segment panoramic sunroof. Now, the carmaker has dropped yet another teaser, this time, revealing the Tata Safari-rival's 'Smart Door Handles' similar to what you find on a Range Rover Velar.
Also read: Spy Shots of the upcoming Mahindra XUV 700!
Mostly seen on much costlier cars, usually from marques like Jaguar Land Rover, these door handles sit flush in the sheetmetal and pop out as soon you unlock the car. They shift back to their original position once you've opened the door using them. With this, it's for sure that the XUV700 will get yet-another segment-first feature that would easily help it stand out among its rivals. What is now left to be seen is if these handles will be available across all the variants are if they would be reserved to the top-spec version.
Also read: Mahindra XUV 700 will give you personalized safety alerts in your loved one's voice!
The Mahindra XUV700 will likely launch in September, just ahead of this year's festive season. The new model has already been spotted testing on numerous occasions and going by these new teasers and the numerous spy shots, it's quite clear that the carmaker is close to revealing its new flagship. Other than offering the smart door handles, the SUV will even offer a large touchscreen infotainment unit, all-digital speedo cluster, autonomous braking, lane-keep assist, 4G connectivity, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone aircon and electric as well as ventilated front seats. The SUV will be available with both petrol and diesel engine options. These will be carried over from the Mahindra Thar, albeit, in an updated avatar. The petrol mill on offer will be a 2.0-litre turbocharged unit that could produce up to 200PS, while the oil-burner will be a 2.2-litre unit that will offer 185PS. Transmission options for both will include manual as well as automatic options.
Also read: New Mahindra Thar waiting period exceeds 12 months!
The expected prices of the Mahindra XUV700 might be the ballpark of Rs 15 lakh to Rs 22 lakh, ex-showroom. The rivals include Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus and the recently launched Hyundai Alcazar.
Stay tuned to CarBlogIndia for more on the Hyundai Alcazar!

La lagune Fernan Vaz se situe au Gabon, sur la côte Atlantique, au sud du delta de l'Ogooué.

Elle tient son nom d'un navigateur portugais qui la reconnut au .

Le , un traité de protectorat a été signé par la France avec les Nkomi.

Omboué est la principale agglomération située en bordure de la lagune. On y trouve aussi une ancienne mission catholique, la mission Sainte-Anne, dont l'église présente la particularité d'avoir été construite dans les ateliers de Gustave Eiffel.

dir = ('C://Users//zstanley//OneDrive - Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy//BolinasWyeWetlands')
os.chdir(dir)
[os.rename(os.path.join(dir, f), os.path.join(dir, f).replace('_', '').replace(' ', '').lower())
    for f in os.listdir(dir)]

A: This works (with \\ for windows):
Modifications:

*

*remove the list comprehension (because it was a bit too long).

*remove os.chdir(dir), no need to change directory.

I was then able to easily inspect each file and run on a test folder.
import os

dir = ("C:\\test")

# check that the folder exists
if os.path.isdir(dir):

Every practicing Alternative Investment Fund business is required to appoint a Compliance Officer. This Compliance Officer is responsible for being familiar with all regulatory requirements outlined by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and ensuring that their business complies with these standards.
The Compliance Officer plays a critical role in an AiF business. The position requires ongoing dedication to learning, staying up-to-date on changing standards, and being cognizant of potential changes in the future. The regulatory environment is very complicated and acting as a Compliance Officer for an AiF business is no small task.
To do their job correctly, a Compliance Officer must have a complete understanding of the business they represent, internal operations, the way their business functions and how this interacts with the regulatory environment. With all this in mind, they are tasked with identifying any breaches, or the potential for breaches within the business.
How does a Compliance Officer work within an AiF?
A good Compliance Officer has the difficult task of ensuring all new and existing employees are aware of the ethics and standards of operating within an AiF. A business is only truly in compliance if each employee helps to uphold the standards of the AiFMD.
The Compliance Officer is ultimately responsible for all aspects of compliance, including day-to-day supervision and training. They may need to work with every part of the business to be sure systems, the vetting process, administration, filing, and reporting all fall within standards.
The Compliance Officer also works beyond the immediate concerns to help make contingency plans and outline risks that the company may face. Ensuring there are plans in place to face any foreseen risks helps minimise the risk of fraud or breach.
The Compliance Officer role is a large one, and it can be a difficult job no matter how large or small the firm. In small companies, Compliance Officers face limited resources while in large ones, there is more risk with many employees.
Active Optimus Group can help to train Compliance Officers or support AiFs that have no Compliance Officer in place. Our specialist consultants can take the place of a Compliance Officer, offering on-site visits that provide everything an internal Compliance Officer might.
Active Optimus Group is dedicated to compliance. In Malta, financial regulations are closely monitored, and it is crucial for AiFs to have the professional support they need to stay in compliance. Our expertise can help ensure your business is up-to-date and adhering to current regulations and making use of the most innovative compliance processes in the industry.


The one and only Swagger Wagon.
We appreciate your interest in our inventory, and apologize we do not have model details displaying on the website at this time. Please fill the form out below and our team will quickly respond, or, please call us at (816) 912-0449 for more information.
It's the muscle behind the swagger. With 296 horsepower on tap, Sienna certainly isn't short on thrills. Refined and powerful, this 3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine with Direct Shift-8AT (8-speed Automatic Transmission) helps Sienna move at the speed of your family.
Sienna was built for drivers, with 140 spot welds in the chassis to help stiffen the body, smoothing the ride and enhancing response. Air-fin stabilizers also help smooth out airflow, reducing wind noise and enhancing efficiency.
Sienna SE's optimized sport suspension enhances handling dynamics and lateral stability while Electronic Power Steering (EPS) enhances steering response.
1 Based on manufacturers' data, September 2017.
Be the life of the block party. Sienna's redesigned front end makes no apologies with more aggressive upper and lower grille openings. Lower side rocker panels connect the front and rear wheel well openings and tie the new look together seamlessly. No matter if you're out running errands or out for a night on the town, you'll always arrive in style.
You'll always look good on the go with the unmistakable upper and lower grille openings and expanded fog light housing in the redesigned front fascia. SE adds even more style to this look with a sport-specific honeycomb grille insert.
Check style off your to-do list. New lower side rocker panels help add to Sienna's alluring profile. This new look isn't all about style. The added structural support enhances safety and handling too.
Sienna SE comes standard with 19-in. 6-spoke gunmetal-finish alloy wheels fitted with low-profile tires for head-turning style.
Under certain circumstances, Lane Departure Alert (LDA)1 is designed to detect lane departure on roads with visible lane markings. LDA only activates when you're traveling at a speed of 32 mph or faster. When you hear and see the alert, after carefully checking the road around you, you should safely direct your vehicle back to the center of your lane. In addition, if the system senses that you're unintentionally drifting, it may automatically make small corrective steering inputs to help keep your vehicle in its lane.
Intended for highways and similar to "constant speed" cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)2 lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there's no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate and regular cruise control will resume.
Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System (PCS)3 with Pedestrian Detection4 (PCS w/PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist (BA)5. If you don't brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)6 are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without blinding other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.
1 Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to read visible lane markers under certain conditions. It provides a visual and audible alert, and slight steering force when lane departure is detected. It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
2 Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. System effectiveness is dependent on road, weather and traffic conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
3 The TSS Pre-Collision System is designed to help avoid or reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
4 The Pedestrian Detection system is designed to detect a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle, determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, size and position of pedestrians, and weather, light and road conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
5 Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper vehicle maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
6 Automatic High Beams operate at speeds above 25 mph. Factors such as a dirty windshield, weather, lighting and terrain limit effectiveness, requiring the driver to manually operate the high beams. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
Sienna's spacious dash is loaded with tech, modern design and high-end accents. The color-screen display makes it easier to monitor Sienna's advanced features, and a driver-centric console makes it all easier to control. With soft-touch materials all over, this is one dash you won't want to keep your hands off of.
Sienna features three separate climate control zones, a digital display, plus easier-to-use controls. This system is also smart enough to automatically adjust all three zones at once, so no one will be too hot or cold.
Not a bad seat in the house. With Sienna's available dual moonroof, your family can enjoy a fresh breeze or a clear view of the stars no matter what seat they're in. Open the moonroof a little, or a lot—either way, you're in control of your environment with Sienna.
Sienna keeps your family rolling in style. Available leather-trimmed seating surfaces bring comfort to any outing, and with contrast stitching throughout the cabin, Sienna is dressed for any occasion. We've also added soft-touch materials throughout Sienna's cabin to help keep big hands and little hands happy. Things like the dash, door inserts—even the vent controls—feel luxurious to the touch, adding to Sienna's refined feel.
Complementing Sienna's premium feel is available contrast stitching. Using genuine thread, this subtle design touch adds visual interest and contemporary style. It's one of many quality details that helps Sienna's new interior stand out.
The kids never had it so good. The available Dual-View Blu-ray Disc™ Entertainment Center1 includes a 16.4-in. color display, two 120V AC power outlets, a remote and two wireless headphones2. Its unique screen can display one wide-angle image or two smaller images from separate sources at the same time.
Accessing Sienna's huge interior is easy. Use the button on the remote keyless entry or available Smart Key fob2, the switches on the overhead console/interior center pillar, or just pull either of the door handles.
Hands full? Just reach for your key fob to open Sienna's available power rear liftgate. It opens in seconds, and can be closed from the comfort of your driver's seat, so you can make a quick and easy getaway.
When you're running errands, your hands are often full. So Sienna is available with our Smart Key System3, a convenient keyless access system. As long as the Smart Key fob is in your pocket or purse, you can open Sienna's doors with the touch of a handle, and start or stop the engine with the push of a button.
With Sienna's Split & Stow 3rd Row™ seat, you're ready for extra cargo4. In one motion, the third-row seat folds into a cargo area storage compartment, leaving you with a flat load space. On Sienna Limited FWD, the seats are power-operated.
Sienna with Auto Access Seat is perfect for anyone who needs a little extra help getting in and out of the vehicle.

Local Indian Dating Sites Focus on Serious Relationships to Take on Tinder
TIMES OF INDIA - TrulyMadly is one of the bigger and older local ventures in India. Co-founder & COO Snehil Khanor says the company caters to both casual and serious users, "but there's definitely more money in older cohorts." He says 80% of its paying users mention on their profile that they are looking for something serious. 50% of TrulyMadly users are 28+ years old, and 70% 26+. Sumesh Menon, co-founder and CEO of matchmaking app Woo, also says money flows in only from older users, who are both socially and financially dependent. BetterHalf.AI too pitches itself as a "serious matchmaking product for working professionals looking to get married in the next 1-2 years." Co-founder and CEO Pawan Gupta says matrimony sites are too overwhelming for today's generation. Matrimony, Shaadi and others that traditionally relied on revenue from parents, are transforming to attract singles while keeping parents still involved in the process. Murugavel Janakiraman, founder and CEO of Matrimony.com, says till the mid-2000s, parents registered on behalf of their daughters and sons. Not any more. "Today, ~60% of our 3.7M active members are individuals who register on their own." Investments in the segment have been small, and was at its peak in 2015 at $6.3M. That was the year when TrulyMadly raised $5.3M and iCrushiFlush raised $0.5M. Last year there was just one funding deal. According to comScore data, the number of unique visitors to Tinder in India had risen to as high as that of Shaadi in late 2017, and had continued to challenge the local players.

The Biggest Pitfalls of Online Dating in India
TIMES OF INDIA - Jan 18 - When it comes to marriage, Indian families have traditionally relied on the referrals route. The online matchmaking industry in India is now almost two decades old, and one big benefit it has brought is exponentially increasing the choices available to those seeking partners. According to a Ken Research Report of 2016, India's online matchmaking industry revenues are set to touch $318M by 2020. The biggest pitfalls of online dating are security and safety. Not surprisingly, the gender ratio is highly skewed in favour of males. A survey by dating app Woo puts the ratio of male: female at 74:26. Woo says it keeps users' personal details confidential, analyses users' digital footprint to verify relationship status and professional information, and enables women to call matched profiles without revealing their own phone numbers. TrulyMadly, another player in the space uses a trust score for authenticity and gets the user Facebook-verified. However, possibly the safest method of matchmaking or dating still remains the referrals route. Dating app Ponder uses referrals from family members and close friends to help its users find the special one.

Young Indians Are Using Dating Apps For Much More Than Just Dating
QUARTZ INDIA - Oct 8 - Last week, Bumble announced its foray into India. Besides Tinder, Bumble will compete with homegrown players like TrulyMadly and Woo. Winning over India may not be easy, since dating apps here are not exactly used the way they are in the West. Launched in 2014, TrulyMadly claims to be the market leader with a monthly download rate of ~65K. The uses of a dating app are pretty standard across the world. But there are a couple of differences in how Indians use them. A lot of 18- 21-year-olds use them to make friends. The 26+ audience uses dating apps pretty much as the first step towards matrimony. TrulyMadly revenue comes mostly from micro-transactions, rather than ads or membership. Users can buy a pack of Sparks to communicate on the platform or buy Select and get matched with the similar type of profiles.

India Has Lots Of Single Women, But Not On Tinder
WALL STREET JOURNAL - June 25 - Tinder's biggest challenge in India appears to be getting enough women to sign on. In many parts of India, arranged marriages remain the norm, and dating in any form still carries a stigma, particularly for women. Indian women who have dabbled with dating apps complain they get overwhelmed by all the attention that comes with the surplus of men. Tinder doesn't disclose a gender breakdown, but among the app's members in India, men far outnumber women. The dating app TrulyMadly, which says women make up ~20% of its users, is trying to introduce women to the concept of "boy browsing" through a YouTube video. Another competitor, Woo, allows women on its app free but charges men, and lets women use initials rather than full names.

Woo - Women-friendly Dating App
YOURSTORY - May 18 - Woo aims to match like-minded people, and also claims to be a platform that puts women first. Released in July 2014, the platform is founded by Sumesh Menon (CEO and Co-founder) and Ankit Nautiyal (CTO and Co-founder). It received its undisclosed Series A funding from Matrix Partners, Omidyar Network and U2opia Mobile. Woo has a user base of ~4.5M users. Woo is similar to Tinder, in the sense that users can only chat with someone if the two have mutually liked each other by swiping right. Users can also send out a 'crush' to a profile without swiping right to let him or her know of their interest. With the feature 'Woo Phone', women can place an Internet call directly from the app while their number remains hidden and private. This specially created feature is available only to women. Woo Plus unlocks a few extra features.

Dating App Woo To Speak At iDate In Los Angeles In June
WEBWIRE - Apr 4 - Sumesh Menon, co-founder and CEO of Indian dating app Woo, will speak on mobile dating in India during the next mobile dating conference (iDate). The conference is taking place at the Sportsmen's Lodge Events Center in Studio City, CA on June 1-2, 2017.
33% Of Indian Couples Met Online
THE HINDU BUSINESS LINE - Mar 24 - In 2007, the online matchmaking industry was centered around matrimonial sites like Shaadi.com. Ten years down the line, the landscape looks completely different. Online dating is now a growth industry. ~67% of Indian singles know couples dating online, and 33% of the couples surveyed had met online, according to digital research consultancy Mindshift Metrics. The online dating space has been growing at an explosive pace in urban India, driven by Tinder. Alongside international competitor OkCupid, local apps like TrulyMadly and Woo are snapping at Tinder's heels. Newer apps like SirfCoffee and Find Life Over Here (FLOH) are trying to create a middle ground between casual dating and traditional matrimonial sites. Both FLOH and SirfCoffee take the exclusive route — users can't just join, they have to go through a screening that includes detailed application forms and face-to-face interviews, either in person or through video-conferencing.

In The Age Of Tinder, India's Matrimonial Sites Are Trying To Adapt
QZ - Mar 14 - Matrimonial websites in India aren't what they used to be. Earlier this month, Shaadi.com, one of India's largest matrimonial sites, launched an online campaign titled "Ladies First," which encourages women to make the first move. "Our audience is changing every day," said Gourav Rakshit, CEO at Shaadi.com. Similarly, a Jeevansaathi.com campaign last year focused on encouraging women to get online to find a match. India's sizeable youth population and growing smartphone penetration have meant that casual dating apps, too, are doing brisk business. India is Tinder's fastest-growing market in Asia, even as home-grown apps like TrulyMadly and Woo make merry. Yet, there are some things that haven't changed. It is still a conservative society where arranged marriages are still the norm.

Is India Ready For Speed Dating?
INDIAN EXPRESS - Feb 14 - Speed dating is a concept where men and women meet for 5-8 mins, just enough to decide if they'd like to meet again. Speed dating saw it origins in 1998 when Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish HaTorah first organised an event in the US as a way for Jewish singles to meet and marry. India has been flirting with the idea over the past decade. "Traditionally, India hasn't been a very open society when it comes to love. People often find it difficult to express feelings of love", says Taru Kapoor, country head of Tinder India. "Dating apps accelerate the process of finding someone in their own private space, instead of being guided by the family," explains Sumesh Menon, CEO and co-founder Woo. This is what makes the time ripe for speed dating to pick up pace here. DateTix is working towards setting up a formal speed dating culture in India. They began in January with Delhi, and intend to expand to other cities soon. Woo's Menon also believes there is a possibility that the concept will soon spread to Tier-II cities.

Dating Apps In India Pave New Path To Getting Hitched
THE ECONOMIC TIMES - Nov 4 - In all, TrulyMadly, Woo and Tinder have ~1M monthly active users in India, according to a report in tech journal iGadgetsworld. While data for matrimonial sites were not available, experts foresee dating apps catching up. Ritesh Banglani, who led an investment in TrulyMadly last year, said 25-35% of the "users on dating apps are looking for marriage". The trend of arranged marriages is likely to continue to decline and the logical next step for matrimonial sites would be to stay relevant either by innovating or acquire a leading dating app in India." Matrimony.com, which operates BharatMatrimony, acquired Matchify in April last year but CEO Murugavel Janakiraman insists that dating apps aren't able to scale up or make money here. "We tried out Matchify but India has a largely traditional user base so these apps are not going to work here," he said. Gourav Rakshit, CEO of Shaadi.com, conceded that although the site gets ~11K new registrations every day, many of its users are on dating apps as well.

India's Millennials Are Turning To Home-grown Dating Apps
THE NATIONAL - Oct 29 - In India arranged marriages continue to be the norm. A 2013 survey revealed that 75% of young Indians prefer arranged marriages. ~22M Indians use matrimonial sites such as BharatMatrimony, Shaadi.com and Jeevansathi. "India has 100M people over the age of 21 who are looking for partners. For them, matrimonial sites, with parents interfering, are not cool," says Hitesh Dhingra, co-founder of dating app TrulyMadly. TrulyMadly launched in India in 2014. It verifies personal details of its users because fake profiles are a big problem in India. ~3M Indians have downloaded dating app Woo. Woo demonstrates the rise of home-grown dating apps in India. While Tinder is well known, the indigenous online offerings are tailored to Indian cultural needs. Other apps include Aisle, which describes itself as a cross between a dating and a matrimonial app. Another offering is Floh (Find Life Over Here), which operates in 15 cities and five countries.

"In the Words of the Medical Tourist: An Analysis of Internet Narrative" by Margaret E. Ozan-Rafferty, James Allen Johnson et al.
Background: Patients regularly travel to the West for advanced medical care, but now the trend is also shifting in the opposite direction. Many people from Western countries now seek care outside of their country. This phenomenon has been labeled medical tourism or health travel. Information regarding health travelers' actual outcomes, experiences, and perceptions is lacking or insufficient. However, advanced Internet technology and apps provide information on medical tourism and are a vehicle for patients to share their experiences. Turkey has a large number of internationally accredited hospitals, is a top tourism destination, and is positioning itself to attract international patients.
Objective: The objective of this research was to identify the important individual characteristics of health travelers, outline the push and pull factors for seeking health care in Turkey, identify satisfaction with the outcomes and the results of these individuals' treatments, and note positive and negative factors influencing their perceptions and overall experiences about patients' health travel.
Methods: This research uses qualitative data from Internet narratives of medical tourists to Turkey. Ethical considerations of using Internet narratives were reviewed. Narratives for analysis were obtained by using the Google search engine and using multiple search terms to obtain publicly posted blogs and discussion board postings of health travelers via purposeful sampling. Narratives were included if they were written in English, described travel to Turkey for health care, and were publicly accessible. Exclusion criteria included narratives that were on medical tourism facilitator or provider promotional websites, not in English, and did not describe an experience of a medical tourist. Medical tourists' written words were analyzed in an iterative analytic process using narrative analysis theory principles. Three stages of coding (open, axial, and selective) were conducted to identify characteristics and themes using qualitative analysis software.
Results: The narrative posts of 36 individuals undergoing 47 procedures who traveled to Turkey for medical care between 2007 and 2012 were analyzed. The narratives came from 13 countries, not including the narratives for which patient origin could not be determined. Travelers were predominantly from Europe (16/36, 44%) and North America (10/36, 28%). Factors driving travelers away from their home country (push factors) were cost and lack of treatment options or insufficient insurance coverage in their home country. Leading factors attracting patients to destination (pull factors) were lower costs, physician's expertise and responsiveness, and familiarity or interest in Turkey. Health travelers to Turkey were generally satisfied with the outcomes of their procedures and care provided by their physicians, many noting intent to return. Communication challenges, food, transportation, and gaps in customer service emerged as key areas for improvement.
Conclusions: This analysis provides an understanding of the insights of medical tourists through the words of actual health travelers. This nonintrusive methodology provides candid insights of common themes of health travelers and may be applied to study other patient experiences. The findings of this research expands the body of knowledge in medical tourism and serves as a platform for further qualitative and quantitative research on health travelers' experiences.

Excavations beneath the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore between 1965 and 1971 uncovered the remains of some ancient structures and their precious decorations. They tell the story of this area before the construction of the basilica. The difference in elevation still visible today between Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore, in front of the basilica, and Piazza dell'Esquilino, extending behind the apse, was even more pronounced in the past and was underscored by a massive retaining wall built in the early imperial period. At the time, according to the sources, the Macellum Liviae – a large open-air market – lay a short distance away. The first scholars to study the structures beneath Santa Maria Maggiore thought that they belonged to the Macellum. More recently, they have generally been interpreted as the remains of a large aristocratic domus (house), whose first phase dates back to the first century AD, perhaps during the principate of Nero. In the second century AD, the house underwent extensive renovation work including the construction of a large peristyle, a colonnaded courtyard that was the focal point of houses at this time. Peristyles were often adorned with climbing plants, fountains, statues, valuable paintings and mosaics, and the other rooms of the house were arranged around them.
The decoration of the peristyle is now the most striking feature of these remains: in the last quarter of the second century, a whole wall was adorned with a series of large panels decorated with frescoes above a high plinth of marble slabs. The painted scenes, arranged in bands one above the other, show imaginary cities whose major public buildings are clearly identifiable (a temple, a portico, perhaps a theatre); scenes of agricultural life and work in the fields; finally in the upper register, of which only a few portions survive, we see signs of the zodiac or astronomical symbols. Next to each painted panel is a vertical band listing the days of each month and their festivals in white letters on a red background. This is a calendar, a decorative motif also mentioned by the writer Petronius, active in the first century AD (Satyricon 30, 3), and frequently attested in important private residences (on the Esquiline, an example is that of the domus in Via Graziosa). The paintings, then, were closely linked to the various months of the year: the scenes of city life may have represented official festivals and the country scenes seasonal tasks. Finally, the astronomical symbols may have alluded to the phases of the moon and the movements of the stars at various times of the year.
This decoration remained visible for only a short period. Already by the early years of the third century it had probably been covered by frescoes representing illusionistic architecture, with the spaces being subdivided by columns and coffered ceilings. At the same time, the house was also altered with the construction of new rooms. Traces of the last renovation of the decorations in these rooms, indicative of their owners' interest in them, dates to the early fourth century. After this a period of impoverishment seems to begin, followed by the gradual abandonment of at least some parts of the building. This state of affairs continued until the whole area was purchased by Pope Sixtus III to begin construction of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, consecrated in AD 434.


An observation on how a piece of nature feels.
The first drop on your nose, on a window, perhaps even landing on the grass. Evoking a variety of emotions. Excitement or relief that there is finally something to water the crops or extinguish a drought. Sadness or nostalgia as you sit by the window, watching the gloomy clouds outside. Comfort or drowsiness when you lay in your bed with a captivating book, listening to the small droplets hit the roof. Fear or anger, maybe you realized you have forgotten your umbrella and you have some valuables that forbid the wetness. Memories of playing outside as a child flood in, along with the memories of slow walks and sidewalk kisses.
You feel the cleansing of your body or the traumatic turning point in a movie. Perhaps you miss the sun, afraid of the humidity that suffocates you or the stickiness outside, bringing out the bloodsuckers in the summertime. Maybe it brings you happiness and you see one of the beautiful gifts from God, the promise that shines a multitude of different colors across the sky once it's all over.
Sometimes, it has its own mood. A light drizzle outside could indicate some calmness. Perhaps it may be cold and harsh, it instead forms into beautiful crystals falling from the sky in its own beautiful art form. Anger could rumble through the sky with electrifying light and a loud roar. The beauty of it all is so captivating. It helps create life on earth, it's a tool, and it's even something you can dance in. You could choose to avoid it or you can choose to embrace it. It's a beautiful gift in nature.

Q: maximum and minimum of $x^2+y^4$ for real $x,y$ If $y^2(y^2-6)+x^2-8x+24=0$ then maximum and minimum value of $x^2+y^4$ is
what i try
$y^4-6y^2+9+x^2-8x+16=1$
$(x-4)^2+(y^2-3)^2=1\cdots (1)$
How i find maximum and minimum of $x^2+y^4$ from $(1)$ relation
help me to solve it please

A: You could compare equation (1) with a standard ellipse $$\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$$ where $(x, y)$ has parametric co-ordinates $(acos\theta, bsin\theta)$.
So in your case $(x, y^2)$ could be represented by $(4+cos\theta, 3+sin\theta)$.
Then $x^2 + y^4 = 25 + 1 + 8cos\theta+6sin\theta$ which has a maximum of $26+10$ and a minimum of $26-10$.

A: Use substitution method:
$$(x-4)^2+(y^2-3)^2=1 \Rightarrow y^2=\pm\sqrt{1-(x-4)^2}+3\\
f(x,y)=x^2+y^4 \Rightarrow \\
f(x)=x^2+1-(x-4)^2\pm6\sqrt{1-(x-4)^2}+9\\
f'(x)=8+\frac{\mp6(x-4)}{\sqrt{1-(x-4)^2}}=0 \Rightarrow \\
4\sqrt{1-(x-4)^2}=\pm3(x-4) \Rightarrow \\
16(-x^2+8x-15)=9(x^2-8x+16) \Rightarrow \\
25x^2-200x+384=0 \Rightarrow \\
x_1=\frac{16}{5}; x_2=\frac{24}{5}\\
f''\left(\frac{16}{5}\right)>0 \Rightarrow f\left(\frac{16}{5}\right)=16 \ \text{(min)}\\
f''\left(\frac{24}{5}\right)<0 \Rightarrow f\left(\frac{24}{5}\right)=36 \ \text{(max)}\\$$

A: By C-S $$0=y^2(y^2-6)+x^2-8x+24=$$
$$=x^2+y^4-8x-6y^2+24\geq$$
$$\geq x^2+y^4-\sqrt{(8^2+6^2)(x^2+y^4)}+24=$$
$$=x^2+y^4-10\sqrt{x^2+y^4}+25-1=\left(\sqrt{x^2+y^4}-5\right)^2-1,$$
which gives
$$4\leq\sqrt{x^2+y^4}\leq6$$ and
$$16\leq x^2+y^4\leq36.$$
The equality occurs for $(|x|,y^2)||(8,6),$ which says that $36$ is a maximal value and $16$ is a minimal value.

Q: failed parsing overlays - Aapt2 - Android Studio I'm trying to use dlib in Android Studio for my university's project.
I did import all the .so files that I needed, but I can't import the shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat... (I want to import it as a raw file)
I get AAPT2 error: check logs for details and the Java compiler says failed parsing overlays. Do you know what can I do to fix this ? I've never seen a topic about failed parsing overlays.
I already tried to put android.enableAapt2=false in the gradle.properties and the testOptions in the gradle.build without success...
You can find the build log here : Build log
And the project here : https://github.com/ghysc/Stage
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Thanks for reading.
Cyril G

A: Using your GitHub project I found out it was a problem with one of the resource files you had - it was too big for AAPT2 to process:

./app/src/main/res/raw/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

This was a bug in AAPT2 but it has been fixed recently.
So if you update your android gradle plugin version in your build.gradle file to 3.2.0-alpha11 or newer it all compiles fine:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha11'

A: Huh, actually I just solved this problem in another way.
When I imported the project of tzutalin ( : github.com/tzutalin/dlib-android-app), I changed the name of the package, which is why my program couldn't find where the library where stored !
I re-named the package package com.tzutalin.dlib; for the dlib library and everything is fine now.


But now, Florida and twenty four other states have introduced "Fiduciary Access to Digital Access" Acts, which would allow people to designate someone else to manage their online life after death. In Florida, the Act would authorize a personal representative to have access to specified digital assets of the decedent, authorize a guardian to have access to specified digital assets of a ward, authorize an agent to have access to specified digital assets of the principal, authorize a trustee to have access to specified digital assets held in trust, provide fiduciary rights relating to digital assets, provide that specified provisions in terms-of-service agreement are unenforceable or void as against strong public policy of the state, provide requirements for compliance for custodian, personal representative, guardian, agent, trustee, or another person that is entitled to receive and collect specified digital assets. The Act would also provide for damages if a demand for the trust instrument is not made in good faith by a custodian and provide immunity for the custodian & its officers, employees, and agents for action performed in good faith and in compliance with act.
•	First, inventory your online accounts. Start by making a list of all of your online accounts. Think email accounts, bank accounts, financial portfolios, social media, subscriptions, insurance, student loans, credit cards etc. Whatever you need a username and password for, document it. This can be done on a piece of paper, spreadsheet, or software program. (See our March 3, 2015 post about Facebook's "Legacy Contact" option).
•	Second, put your inventory somewhere safe. Now that you have a list of all of your accounts with your usernames and passwords, put it somewhere safe. If you have a physical list, put it where your designee will be able to find it. If you have a computer generated list, try to password-protect it. Make sure to keep that password in a safe place too. You want to make sure this information is safe from hackers or nosy people that have access to your files. Also, do not forget to update this information as it changes.
•	Lastly, designate access to this information. Speak to the responsible people in your life to see who could take over responsibility of this duty. Once you find a person (or two), you can either share your list of accounts with them or advise them where your list will be located. Do not forget to put in writing who the designee(s) is/are so there will be no confusion later on. Provide this information to your estate planning attorney, who will help you update your estate planning documents.
While performing these tasks, be aware that federal privacy laws prohibit others from logging in to your accounts. Next rainy day, read through the terms and conditions for your accounts and find out what you agreed to. Also, consider which accounts are more important than others. You may not want to provide information about your Match.com profile and would be okay with that account languishing into the online abyss. On the other hand, credit card and loan accounts could provide trouble for your estate if the bills are not paid on time.
Ultimately, while the Fiduciary Access to Digital Access Acts are on the way to becoming law, you should protect yourself in the meantime. Be as specific as possible regarding your wishes in all of your estate planning documents. It is important to have a qualified attorney, like those at Chepenik Trushin LLP, to help you navigate the online world.

Is it time for you to up your game of life, as well as equalize, as an Empath and embrace the many gifts of you - in a like-minded community of people?
If you are ready to let go of the drain and connect to like-minded people, be deeply heard by others, and learn methods of what works for some, and develop what works for you -- then this may be the Group for you.
Empaths are highly tuned individuals who can perceive physical sensitivities and spiritual urges, as well as just knowing the motivations and intentions of others. They can take on the emotions of others, without realizing it. Many empaths can become overwhelmed due to difficulty distinguishing what they are absorbing from others in emotions-mind-body-spirit -- and what is actually from self.
By learning how to hear-feel-know yourself more, and detach from negative energy around you, while building on your special skill set (sometimes extrasensory) of: feeling - hearing - knowing - seeing -- you can become more centered, supported, empowered, and free to move forward in what you want and love to do.
For many years I tried to push this part of myself down, tried to keep it hidden, in fear of judgment and backlash. I thought others would find it woo woo, or not respect it. In my coaching practice, it was when I decided to come out of the closet, so to speak, as an Empath, left self-doubt behind, learned the value of my skill set, embraced it, and revealed who I am -- that I realized it was part of my own personal greatness and that what I had to offer is something people want. This what many Empaths go through.
After I stopped being in judgment of myself as an Empath – I was soon hired for Coaching and ELI Assessments by people high up in their corporate industries. Their reason for selecting me when they had tried Free Consults with other coaches -- was specifically due to the intuitive and empathic focus they heard on our first call. One of those people that hired me was a leader in military intelligence. When we embrace and grow in who we are, rather than repress who we are, all things become possible.
Sometimes the gifts of who we are -- are held back by our own self, the voice in our head, or we don't quite know, yet, the value of our gifts and how to express them.
Follow what your unburdened heart tells you, it knows things.
Confidentiality: We all sign on to confidentialarity. Calls will only be taped if all in the group want that, and is for learning and review only).
Group Page: Group Facebook Page (private for members only), for interaction as you choose. Helpful info will be uploaded there from time-to-time.
Assignments: Will be given from time-to-time, to help individuals move forward and get clear.
Freedom from adversity is closely aligned with True, Authentic Self and our capacity for Unconditional Self-Love, just as a parent might have for their child.
Adversity is not about what happens, but rather -- how we RESPOND to what happens. Do we seek others to make things right for us, to we have a meltdown, or do we have what we need within to move through whatever comes at us, still standing, still moving forward, embracing the life we are in.
Did you know that most people do not know where to start on their journey to TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF or to UNCONDITIONAL SELF-LOVE?
In the above video, Matt Kahn offers insights as to how adversity shows up in our daily lives, and what we can do about it. While the video may seem slow at the start and perhaps odd initially, he is breaking down the concepts and it drives home the huge opportunity in transition and unexpected change.
While there is some development one goes through to process in a new way that benefits us, this process moves along more easily and takes effect sooner than one would on their own, when in coaching with a Certified Professional Coach.
be the Hidden Driver of our outcomes.
We can be very successful in some areas in our wheel of life, but can have one or more areas that have gone awry or are vacant (like an area of our life we don't live in much but would like to partake in).
Some people may do very well in business but feel disconnected from their love life or are not engaged in a love life at all. Or one may seek a social life with like-minded friends but finds it is lacking. Or it could be we have love, friends and family, but our business or career is not going well and we don't quite have a handle on it. It could even be that we feel disconnected spiritually from our own self and those we engage with, which can create a sense of feeling isolated.
When we explore our values and discover our TRUE SELF, we more easily connect to what we feel and what we want. It can become a passion that motivates us. It shifts our energy to a mode of WANT TO, rather than a mode of HAVE TO, in areas we can shine a light on and be at our best. This propels us forward to our success and greater satisfaction, as well as attracts it to us. When we are in a "want to" mode what we resonate is very different and draws a different response than when we are in a "have to" mode.
How about that SHADOW SELF? What is it and what goes on with that? While coaching takes a very different approach than therapy and psychiatry, the theme of the shadow is one that threads through both coaching and therapy. The great Dr. Carl G. Jung said the Shadow Self is part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. "Everyone carries a shadow," he wrote.
"Carries" is a great word regarding the Shadow Self. While my clients gain clarity developing their True Self and learning of their Shadow Self, they frequently perceive their Shadow as a burden and an energy drain and mood downer. While there are instances that the 2 selves (or 2 voices if you will) can be merged as one and work together as one, most of the time my clients found it created conflict for them in what they wanted and how they wanted it (True Self vs. Shadow Self). They came to realize that this was a key reason they didn't have what they wanted in one or more areas of their business or their life.
Perhaps you're familiar with The Law Of Attraction: that what we think and feel is what we attract into our lives. I truly believe that what we go towards comes towards us at the same time ~ voila, manifestation. However, if you have more than one stream of thought-feeling, that is in conflict with another thought-feeling, and in conflict with the outcome(s) you want – then you can be at the effect of the Unseen Driver which is creating the outcomes you don't want – instead of at the cause of your life and the outcomes you do want.
Gaining clarity on such things is important. Learning to separate your True Self (Authentic Self) from your Shadow Self is helpful. Then you can either build a bridge between them, or instead create a stronger voice that will be the Master Driver of your metaphoric car – driving you to the outcomes you want and deserve. It's not as hard as you might think and is a smooth process in coaching.
Intention and focus, in action plans, while moving through and past challenges, helps. But it is also important to removing illusion, projection, self-judgment, or perceptions that are filled with smoke instead of the abundant substance of your core values, is part of the process. In this process, fear and anxiety fall away, and your deeper self, TRUE SELF, steps up to the bat. It's a home run!
What would it mean to you to understand your SHADOW SELF, and be ABLE TO STEP INTO YOUR TRUE SELF?
How would this resonate with you?
Group Coaching Program for Empaths, this amazing review below propels me forward and motivates me further.
It is easy in our busy lives to forget our gifts and what we have to offer ourselves and others. Perhaps you will take some time to remember your gifts, who you are. These inner gifts of you alongside your challenges, creates your greatness.
And so, hope you don't mind my sharing this first review of my group coaching.
"The training was perfect for me, a coach newly out of coaching school looking to benefit from a seasoned coach's experiences. She shared keys to getting commitment during initial consults, marketing, blocks, Gremlins, and so much more. Corri emailed valuable resources that she has used successfully over the years. We were able to learn through real life examples from Corri's past clients (confidentially of course). Truly one of the most giving caring people I have run across, I'm very grateful to have made this connection, and participated in this program. A key to the special uniqueness of this experience is Corri's amazing intuitive abilities. She knew exactly where to take each area of the program, it was structured but not formulaic. For the last call she offered each student an opportunity to choose coaching or training on any subject area. I chose learning Meditation, which was amazing. Corri taught me details about what meditation is, how it can be used, and a new way to practice it. All of this on a very deep level. Corri, thank you! ♡"
plain being in a relationship and feeling all alone within that relationship.
Learning how to know one's own values, learning to empower one's inner self to have a voice - a vision - and creating that vision - alters what we need and want in love. It is from this vantage point that we can shift Expectation to Appreciation.
It is from this place, that the self-love and self-nurturing remains no matter what occurs in one's life. Once attained it is everlasting.
Achieving this, through Life Coaching, is easier than you may think, and takes less time than you may think. Life Coaching with a coach you feel aligned with and can partner with, will provide you with the tools and support to empower you to this achievement. It is a smooth process. One that is very rewarding and exciting.

If They Try To Harass Us, We Will Not Let Them Go Unpunished, Says Rajnath Singh
On the Galwan incident, the minister said we have shown our power to neighbours and that we would never bow down. Whenever necessary, we gave our enemies a befitting reply and with time, India is getting stronger.

Rajnath Singh during his visit to Auli Military Station in Uttarakhand
05 October, 2022 by Sangeet Kumar Sanu
"We don't harass anyone, but if they try to do so, we will not let them go without thrashing them," says defence minister Rajnath Singh during an informal talk with armed forces and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel in Auli, Uttarakhand.
He performed "Shastra Puja" on the occasion of Dusshera and commended the contribution of the armed forces and paramilitary forces in ensuring the security and economic progress of the nation.
He said India is the only country that worships both literature and weapons. "This is our culture and Indian value to be grateful for those who help us protect our country from the evil eye and external threats," he added.
He also said that whenever our neighbours showed their frustration towards us, we gave them a befitting reply. With time, India is getting more assertive and strong under the bright leadership of our prime minister, Narendra Modi.
He further said that the world now recognises that the Indian armed forces are one of the best among the major armed forces. India's reputation has grown across the globe in the last few years and now the world listens to us with great seriousness and asks India's opinion in any international dispute.
On the Galwan incident, the minister said we have shown our power to neighbours and that we would never bow down. "We never attacked any country and captured another's territory in our history, but this is also a reality, if anyone raises their evil eye, India will not let them go unpunished," he concluded.

Q: Alfresco : How to filter documents in workflow I have a special need in Alfresco, I'm unfortunately new in using this product.
Actually My intention is to show, in the workflow, only documents whose the coordinator is the logged on user and which are not in active workflows.
Any idea please :)

A: I'm back with a solution even if I'm not sure if it's the best. Any way that solved my problem.
I modified the method ObjectRenderer_renderCellAdd of object-finder.js to check if the user is the document coordinator and if there is no other active workflow linked to the document.
Instead of :
elCell.innerHTML = ' ';

I put :
var showSelectLink = true;
if(oRecord.getData("type") == "cm:content"){
showSelectLink = false;
//Checking if the document is already in an other active worflow
var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

This year, Habitat Trinidad & Tobago hosted eleven teams through the Global Village program. Four of these teams came from Canada, one from the Thrivent group and six from the USA. Our international teams have helped us to continue our construction target by working a Monday to Friday week on various homes around Trinidad. Not only does these teams build but they also donate and pay for their entire trip.
The Global Village program is an initiative Habitat Trinidad & Tobago has been grateful to facilitate since June 2011. Four of our families have worked alongside these teams as they helped construct their home. From drilling, lifting steel frame, installing roof frames we have seen acrobatic volunteers who had a blast in country working on our homes. After we promised to make them sweat we also gave them the chance to relax at Maracas Bay and Tobago the best places to visit after working a team in the heated temperature for a week. It is the goal at Habitat Trinidad & Tobago to form a team that would visit another country who requires the same help to a family in need.

MAYSA – Tickets – Yoshi's Oakland – Oakland, CA – September 15th, 2018
Jazz/soul vocalist best known for her work with Incognito
Yoshi's Oakland
https://www.yoshis.com/event/1599764/
Maysa is the kind of singer who takes hold of a song and enraptures her audience in the palm of her hands, as she delivers lyrics, phrases, melodies and harmonies in a way that only she can. Blessed with an instantly identifiable honey-toned mezzo-soprano and an undeniably brilliant and magnetic stage presence, Maysa's alluring vocals, candor, humor and purity as an artist make her a rarity in this business. Having collaborated with everyone from Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan to Incognito and Angela Bofill, Maysa can hang with the best. It is no wonder she is the recipient of Soul Train's "Soul Approved Underground Singer" Award.
"One of the most identifiable and consistently enjoyable singers in underground soul." - Jazziz Magazine
"Maysa's voice is as smooth and as rich as chocolate...its pure, perfect tone is gorgeous and caresses with a languorous sensuality."-Blues And Soul Magazine
"Maysa's voice is sublime – down-home funky one moment and elegantly jazzy the next."- The Dallas Morning News
"Maysa Leak's sensual, rangy and enticing voice always emerges triumphant." - Nashville City Paper
