Crowdfunding success brings unexpected headaches to startup
posted Jun 28, 2014, 9:44 PM by Siamak Ebarhimi [ updated Jun 28, 2014, 9:45 PM ]
Co-founded by Drew Cox in 2012, Matter and Form is a Toronto-based company that produces 3-D scanners. Mr. Cox's goal is encapsulated in the company's tagline: he wanted to make "the world's first truly affordable 3-D scanner for anyone." He knew that there was a market of designers, video game artists, hobbyists and engineers who wanted to be able to capture and manipulate 3-D images, but thought existing 3-D scanners were too expensive and too cumbersome.
In order to fund the development of a scanner, Mr. Cox raised capital in a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. The campaign was a huge success, but suddenly Matter and Form had more than 1,000 backers. How could they keep this community believing in them?crowdfunding marketing
In 2012 Mr. Cox worked at an online video game startup, and as a hobby, became enthralled with building 3-D printers from kits. As he thought up ways to improve them, he realized that his ideas were even better suited to 3-D scanners. He was convinced he could make a 3-D scanner that was much less expensive, more portable and easier to use than the other products on the market. He left his job in January 2013, brought in Trevor Townsend as a co-founder and chief technology officer, and they started working on a prototype.crowdfunding advertising
The first prototype was held together with duct tape. The partners knew that they needed capital to build a real product and decided to try crowdfunding. They started an Indiegogo campaign in March 2013 and paid close attention to getting the video and the branding messages right so they would get sufficient capital to move forward.
Their goal was to raise $81,000 from one or two hundred supporters, but when the 35-day campaign was over, they had raised $471,082 from over a thousand people in 48 countries. These people had pre-bought the scanners for a price that ranged from $350 at the start of the campaign to $600 by the end. It was the highest funded crowdfunding campaign ever, outside the U.S. It allowed them to start making real printers and to expand their team by bringing Paul Banwatt on board as chief operations officer.indiegogo marketing
The partners were thrilled with the Indiegogo response, but it brought new challenges. "Overnight we went from being guys in a small shop to having to ship our still-to-be-made product all over the world. Making the product wasn't as straightforward as they had anticipated," he says.
"Our expectations were naïve," he adds. "We were unrealistic about how long it was going to take to design the product, manufacture it, and test it with different printers. We were shocked when the machine tooling alone cost $91,000." While they were trying to solve these operational difficulties, they also had the challenge of keeping over a thousand backers on side.kickstarter marketing
Mr. Cox had a decade's worth of advertising experience before founding Matter and Form and he says that the first thing he had to do was forget the tendency of advertisers to accentuate the positives and hide the negatives. "Our number one rule was: Do not lie and do not hide anything. Smart people get it. They know things can go wrong and cause delays, but they want to know why. It's essential to give them an explanation."
It's also important to keep the community engaged with the venture while the team is figuring out "the mechanics of mass production." "The people who give you money want to be involved because they're backing a project not just buying a product."kickstarter project
The Indiegogo platform allows the entrepreneur to post a message and have it sent by e-mail to all the project backers. These notices can provide information about their progress and can also be used to so engage the community with important decisions they need to make. For example, they recently posted screen shots for a user interface and asked community members to provide feedback on them.
Mr. Cox says that they post an update through the platform roughly once a month, but they use this facility with some caution. "We want to provide as much information as possible, but, on the other hand, we don't want to bombard our supporters with e-mail."CrowdFunding advertizing
To help achieve this balance, they started an online blog for people who wanted more – and more frequent – information. However, they learned the hard way that the blog doesn't substitute for communication via the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. Recently they had been posting notices of production delays on their blog but had forgotten to post them on the Indiegogo platform. Mr. Cox recounts that "each delay was small, but over time they accumulated. People who were not following our blog were upset that they didn't receive an e-mail about a production delay that now amounted to three months." As a result, they pay much more attention to managing both communication channels.CrowdFunding marketing
Many innovative businesses have operational challenges in getting novel products designed, manufactured and out the door on schedule. Some businesses are able to stay invisible until they are ready to go, but businesses that rely on crowdfunding are in the limelight throughout this rocky process. The team at Matter and Form has found that communicating – and managing multiple communication channels effectively – is important in calibrating the expectations of backers and keeping them engaged. Mr. Cox reports that even though they have had delays, very few people have backed out, more people have pre-bought the scanners, and right now 50 backers are involved in beta testing. He says that a commitment to their community has also been helpful in recruiting.Kickstarter Marketing
"We now have 10 employees and as we grow we know that we have to bring on board people who recognize that our community is core to who we are," he says.
Mr. Cox sees crowdfunding as a great way to gain capital early on. "You're not taking on investors and you're not diluting ownership, but you are getting the resources you need to prove a market." And he reports that this has paid off for Matter and Form, because now investors are coming to them.Indiegogo Marketing

The President's silly health care announcement
The President spoke about health care in the cross-hall today, flanked by the heads of several major health lobbying groups ("trade associations," in Washington vernacular):
hospitals — the American Hospital Association ("AHA");
doctors — the American Medical Association ("AMA");
insurance companies — America's Health Insurance Plans ("A-Hip");
the drug manufacturers — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America ("Pharma");
the medical device manufacturers — Advanced Medical Technology Association ("AdvaMed"); and
health care worker unions — the Service Employees International Union ("SEIU").
The President announced,
[T]hese groups are coming together to make an unprecedented commitment. Over the next 10 years — from 2010 to 2019 — they are pledging to cut the rate of growth of national health care spending by 1.5 percentage points each year — an amount that's equal to over $2 trillion.
This is one of the sillier White House announcements I have seen. Let me draw a sports parallel.
Imagine if the mayor of your nearest big city were to hold a press conference with the General Manager of the city's Major League Baseball team. The Mayor announces that the GM, working with the coaches and players, has committed that he will work to develop plans for the team to hit the Mayor's new goal of winning 40 more games this season than they otherwise would have won. Those plans will improve the team's hitting, pitching, and fielding. The Mayor also announces that the manager's plans, combined with the Mayor's new policy initiative for better parking at the stadium, will make fans happier and help the team win more games.
Baseball fans would reply, "Great, I'm all for it." They might then ask a few questions:
What do you mean the GM "will develop plans"? Doesn't he have any specific plans yet? How will he improve hitting, pitching, and fielding?
How are we supposed to verify that the team won 40 more games than they otherwise would have, since we will never know how many games they would have won?
Other than picking the number 40, why is the Mayor involved in this press conference? What does the Mayor's new parking initiative have to do with the coaching changes, and how will the new parking initiative help the team win more games?
If this is such a good idea, what has changed to make it happen now? Is the Mayor claiming that his persuasive powers alone are worth 40 more wins? Why didn't the GM make these changes before?
The only substance to this announcement is that the manager agreed to the Mayor's target of winning 40 more games.Everything else is fluff or unrelated.
The same questions apply to the President's announcement today. The letter from the provider groups says:
We will do our part to achieve your Administration's goal of decreasing by 1.5 percentage points the annual health care spending growth rate — savings $2 trillion or more. … To respond to this challenge, we are developing consensus proposals to reduce the rate of increase in future health and insurance costs through changes made in all sectors of the health care system.
Not "We have developed proposals and here they are," but instead "We are developing consensus proposals." So today the groups actually announced (1) that they accept the President's quantitative goal, and (2) they will work together to reach that goal. Neither the interest groups nor the Administration announced any substantive plan to achieve the goal.
The letter from the groups states some warm-and-fuzzy non-specific ideas:
Implementing proposals in all sectors of the health care system, focusing on administrative simplification, standardization, and transparency that supports effective markets;
Reducing over-use and under-use of health care by aligning quality and efficiency incentives among providers across the continuum of care so that physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers are encouraged and enabled to work together towards the highest standards of quality and efficiency;
Encouraging coordinated care, both in the public and private sectors, and adherence to evidence-based best practices and therapies that reduce hospitalization, manage chronic disease more efficiently and effectively, and implement proven clinical prevention strategies; and,
Reducing the cost of doing business by addressing cost drivers in each sector and through common sense improvements in care delivery models, health information technology, workforce deployment and development, and regulatory reforms.
This is the parallel to the baseball manager saying he will improve the team's performance by improving their hitting, pitching, and fielding. Everyone agrees that it makes sense, and everyone wants to know how he's going to do it. The same applies here. Without specifics, these are empty promises. Nothing in this list is concrete enough to translate into specific actions by anyone.
The letter does urge some increased spending on health care, for "health promotion and disease prevention to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease and poor health status, which leads to unnecessary sickness and higher health costs." This is a repeat of a common health policy fallacy — that increased government spending on preventive care will reduce overall health expenditures. While it is true for specific individuals, it is generally false for the population as a whole, because you end up spending money on preventive care for people who would not otherwise have gotten sick. The Congressional Budget Office takes a skeptical view toward the claim that this will save money, at least in the 5-10 year short run.
The second problem with the announcement is that it is unverifiable. We obviously cannot wait ten years to test the claim, and countless other factors will have changed during that time, making it impossible to know what the growth rate would otherwise would have been.
The third problem is that there is no obvious linkage between today's announcement and the government, much less the President. Today the President said,
Their efforts will help us take the next and most important step — comprehensive health care reform — so that we can do what I pledged to do as a candidate and save a typical family an average of $2,500 on their health care costs in the coming years. Let me repeat that point. What they're doing is complementary to and is going to compatible with a strong, aggressive effort to move health care reform in Washington with an ultimate result of saving health care costs for families, businesses and the government.
The President is attempting to claim credit for savings that (a) do not yet exist, (b) are not backed up by any specific changes in industry practices or government policies, and (c) are related to him only in that the groups announced they were adopting his quantitative goal. For all three of these reasons, the President's claim that these savings will materialize is wildly unrealistic, and it is absurd to attach a per-family savings number to it. This is like the Mayor claiming credit for the 40 additional wins now, and telling fans that he will be responsible for the team winning the pennant. No one should take these claims seriously.
This artfully constructed sentence misleads:
What they're doing is complementary to and is going to be compatible with a strong, aggressive effort to move health care reform in Washington with an ultimate result of saving health care costs for families, businesses, and the government.
If the groups had specific plans to change industry practices to hit their new quantitative goal, then those changes in private-sector behavior would save money for families, businesses, and government.
The President deserves credit for proposing some modest changes to Medicare and Medicaid that would slow the growth of government spending, although not nearly enough.
But the President has not yet proposed any policy changes as part of "health care reform in Washington" that would save families or businesses any money. He has proposed government spending increases that would improve the information available, but has proposed no changes to the financial incentives that people or firms have to use that information.Information by itself won't significantly slow the growth of health care spending. You need incentives as well. (The Congressional Budget Office agrees.)
While the President's announcement was silly and meaningless as a policy matter, it is tactically significant as the legislative battle over expanding taxpayer-financed health care heats up. The health insurance companies were a major industry opponent of HillaryCare in 1993-1994, and it appears they are trying to ingratiate themselves with the new President. Similarly, the drug manufacturers, who have historically aligned themselves with Republicans, are doing everything possible to get on the President's good side. They want to share in the spoils of increased government spending on health care, they want to avoid being the political and policy targets of legislation, and they see no political downside to supporting a popular and powerful President with Democratic supermajorities in both the House and Senate.
Today's announcement was about a budding political coalition that could support the President's legislative push. Nothing more.

To our knowledge, the edition we are presenting here is the only currently published version compiled from the original singly-published lessons. The single booklets were published in the 1930's. Rev. Natalie Jean discovered the booklets as well as a 1945 edition, both of which are identical, word for word. Rev. Natalie Jean has graciously worked with me in producing this edition.
All other available editions are copies of a 1959 version published by the Highwatch Fellowship (a group of anonymous Emma enthusiasts.) It has subsequently been published by DeVorss. Many others are now copying and publishing it. There are many errors in these later editions as well as additions and omissions; these current versions are all copied from the 1959 edition.
The mission of Wise Woman Press is to publish the works of Emma Curtis Hopkins as faithfully as possible to the original.

Q: specify SFSafariViewController user agent I have an issue specifying access from SFSafariViewController since it has the exact same user agent as Safari browser.
What i'm trying to do is display a picture only inside the webview and remove it if its viewed on normal browser.
Tried to see if document.refferer can be used and I tried it on twitter since the latest update has its webview changed to SFSafariViewController. Almost worked but the referrer info is also being passed to safari if its opened directly from SFSafariViewController.
Would really appreciate any ideas... thanks!!

A: I did a bit of quick research on this, and it appears that this is not possible, hence the word Safari in SFSafariViewController.
However you can do this using the WebKit WKWebView: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview/1414950-customuseragent

A: You can't check the user agent, but there are other detection mechanisms to differentiate sfsafariviewcontroller from safari.
For example, you can check for the existence of an obscure webfont: .Helvetica LT MM.
Here's some example code: https://gist.github.com/aeharding/08eaafbb7742f78ede9b8d2f5d096354

Climate change discourse draws attention again to the relationship between humans and nature. The widely available huge and diversified information about this issue have a significant impact on public opinion and influence political decision making, therefore the knowledge of the theoretical background of these scientific approaches is very important. Research of human-environment relationships is present in geography from the very beginning; definitely, it had great importance in the process of becoming an academic science in the 19th century and it contributed to the duality of geography and brought anthropogeography (i. e. human geography) to life. After the turn of the millennium a part of the scientific community emphasized the need for unified investigations and coordinated results of subdisciplines instead of accumulating isolated results, because only a holistic approach can help in solving global problems for the future of humankind. Geography still has its place in human-environment research: it can be the scene of unified investigations of physical and human geography. If the claim for joint research is vivid among physical and human geographers, this could lead to a new form of integration within geography.
Which paradigms ruled/rule the human-environment research? What has been the attitude of academic geography to this issue since its existence? What were the characteristics of different national geographies in this topic? What is the attitude of geography to neodeterminism appeared after the millennium? Are physical and human geographers able to perform joint human-environment research? The organisers of this session expect papers in connection with these topics. Both physical and human geographers are welcome!

Georgia Recruiting: Jay Rome Picks Georgia Over Alabama, Malcolm Mitchell Next?

Share All sharing options for: Georgia Recruiting: Jay Rome Picks Georgia Over Alabama, Malcolm Mitchell Next?
Valdosta TE Jay Rome, a four-star Rivals prospect, selected the Georgia Bulldogs over the Alabama Crimson Tide during a Thursday evening broadcast of ESPNU's Recruiting Insider. The No. 4 tight end and No. 4 player in Georgia, he's the first tight end to join Georgia's 2011 class, and will join an offense that has led Dawgs fans to lobby for more tight end involvement.
Rome said he made up his mind about a week ago, claiming his mother didn't know his choice until he put a Dawgs hat on and said he wanted to stay in state.
Georgia has held the No. 1 spot on Rome's list for some time now, according to Rome himself, though he visited Bama within the past week. He's been thought of as one of the most critical pieces of Georgia's 2011 recruiting class. As Dawg Sports put it earlier today:
Other prospects have pointed to him as the "ringleader" of Mark Richt's Dream Team and he's being recruited primarily by one of the southeast's best recruiters (John Lilly) to play a position which Georgia has always recruited and utilized well under Mark Richt.
Fifteen schools offered Rome, but it came down to Bama and the Dawgs, followed by Tennessee. Among his most entertaining offers: Duke and FIU. The six-foot-five, 255-pound pass-catcher has a 3.8 GPA to boot.

## [ES] Ray Tracing - Distribuido

Hoy se analizará un algoritmo de renderización llamado Ray Tracing, que consiste en obtener una imagen de un escenario desde un punto de vista, como si el ojo fuera un foco, un foco de de rayos que chocaran con cualquier objeto del escenario hasta una fuente de luz, o tambien cualquier otro lugar que no tenga ningun objeto.

Como se puede ver, se logra captar un instante del escenario. Entonces si queremos captar una representación de un escenario con objetos en movimiento no puede ser posible con lo que ya sabemos.

Para lograr esto, se necesita de emplear la técnica de Ray Tracing Distribuido. Esto no tiene que ver con sistemas distribuidos o algo relacionado a mejorar el rendimiento de esta técnica, ya que sabemos que es una de las técnicas más costosas en terminos de rendimiento.

El ray tracing, como se ve en la primera figura, consiste en lanzar un rayo para representar un punto del escenario, es un rayo sin área, generando una imagen perfecta del escenario para muchos generando una imagen irreal. Para poder quitar este grado de perfección no consideraremos un rayo generado para un punto, si no un promedio de la información que se tiene de diferentes rayos en un área, para un punto determinado.

Logrando así una imagen en movimiento, si el área de los rayos es muy grande, o una imagen más "real" si se emplea con un área muy pequeño, por ejemplo en vez de una sombra con bordes bien definidos, podemos ver una figura con una sombra penumbra, algo que ocurre en la vida real.

Estos son solo unos de los posibles efectos que se pueden lograr con el método del Ray Tracing Distribuido.

The Running of the Vicksburg Batteries – 150 Years Ago Today
General Ulysses Grant was a man with a lot of problems in the Spring of 1863. His objective was to capture Vicksburg and open the Mississippi … you know, just do it … just get it done! Easy words, especially for political figures far from the fields and waters of action! The 200-foot cliffs against the river made for a tactical impossibility. As well, much of the city was surrounded by swampy grounds of tangled bayous and jungle-like waterways. There was an effort to redirect the Mississippi by digging a canal, which is audacious thinking and as difficult and impossible as it sounds. The only approach on solid ground was from the east and southeast. Grant was headquartered to the northwest at Milliken's Bend on the west side of the river.
But as if the logistical nightmare he faced was not enough, Grant was equally facing an impossible situation politically and personally within the ranks of army and national leadership. Hallack had written to him to say that, "the eyes and hopes of the whole country are now directed to your army … The opening of the Mississippi River will be to us of more advantage that the capture of forty Richmonds." Lincoln stood by Grant ultimately, but not without withstanding considerable pressure from Republican congressmen. The old rumors of drunkenness persisted, being fueled by his subordinate – the Illinois political General John McClernand who kept up a correspondence with Lincoln, writing on 3/16 a report that "General Grant I am informed was gloriously drunk and in bed sick all next day." The editor of the Cincinnati Commercial – Murat Halstead – wrote to Salmon Chase (who passed the letter on to Lincoln) that Grant was "a jackass in the original package." Major General Cadwalader Washburne wrote of Grant that he "has no plan for taking Vicksburg and is frittering away time and strength to no purpose. The truth must be told even when it hurts. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
David Dixon Porter
Grant was not about to march his army back to Memphis and launch an overland campaign against Vicksburg – an action previously attempted and failed. So he asked Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter to run gunboats past the batteries at Vicksburg with a view toward eventually spearheading a crossing of troops from the west bank to the east shore – protecting that location for supply vessels to sustain that location for a campaign against Vicksburg. Grant would march down beyond the west bank opposite Vicksburg, building roads as they went, to arrive at the crossing. Porter was skeptical of the entire operation, though eventually embraced it and prepared as best as possible.
The running of the Vicksburg Batteries happened 150 ago this evening of April 16-17. A total of 11 vessels latched loaded coal barges to the port sides, protecting exteriors with logs and wet bales of hay to snuff fuses and absorb shells that hit. At about 11:00, as the boats rounded De Soto Point, they were spotted by Confederate lookouts who spread the alarm. Bales of cotton soaked in turpentine and barrels of tar lining the shore were set on fire by the Confederates to light up the river. Although each vessel was hit repeatedly, Porter's fleet successfully fought its way past the Southern batteries – losing only one transport. The mission was successful and headed downriver to the rendezvous with Grant on the Louisiana shore south of Vicksburg … where we will pick up the story on April 30.

The NFT Blur platform meets with unexpected success
Open Sea finds itself in a delicate position since Blur joined the market! Today, Blur is well on its way to becoming a must-have platform and is even wildly successful, despite its very young age. Yes, a big storm is coming on Open Sea as well as the others platforms and here are the details of this unusual fact in the field of NFTs.
Blur gets noticed
This platform has only been around for about 10 days and yet it has absolutely not gone unnoticed. Indeed, since its launch, the platform has been able to attract 2527 authentic users and has achieved a turnover of 1169 ETH. With its prowess, Blur is now positioned after Open Sea and ahead of X2Y2; Looks Rare, meanwhile, comes in fourth.
At Blur, it's a small victory since they even went so far as to reveal to the whole world that from now on, Blur is the official number 2 in the NFTs market and that it is the number 1 in terms of aggregator. With a studied graph, Blur announced on Twitter that 66.4% of the market is now theirs. In short, it is a remarkable entry into the big leagues.
The turnaround is quite unexpected since security concerns were revealed at its inception. Fortunately, everything is now under control and Blur is currently a trusted NFT platform. Later, perhaps, Blur will become a FTX platform who knows…
An attractive platform
With its token called BLUR, this platform has won over a very large audience! Indeed, we are here facing an NFT platform supported by renowned investors, including Paradigm, Keyboard Monkey, 6529, Bharat Krymo, Cozomo Medici, dhof, Zeneca, OSF, ice bergy, Deeze, Andy8052 and Moon Overlord. The company behind Blur raised $11 million from these investors. The team includes developers and creators with experience from Five Rings Capital, MIT, Y Combinator, Citadel, Brex, Square, and Twitch.
BLUR was in the private development phase for 276 days before being officially launched on October 19, 2022. If you venture there, you will find the price aggregator function, the sniping tool that helps optimize trading of NFTs and a complete dashboard that provides an overview of all the interesting information in the field of NFTs. The extent of the attraction of this platform is such that even those who are just beginning to handle NFTs could find their way around.
The hit Blur's current status comes as no surprise since people interested in web3 products need a trusted platform that offers comprehensive tools. Also, time will tell if Blur will become a bit more comprehensive platform and go beyond NFTs trading.

The Novelist Who Wrote from Beyond the Grave
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON ASSOCIATED CONTENT, AUGUST 28, 2007
If you are a contributor to Associated Content or any other web site, what is your preferred method of composing literary greatness? Sitting on your back porch and writing in longhand upon yellow legal notebooks? Trapping yourself inside an empty room with nothing but your brain and your laptop to keep you company?
Consulting a Ouija Board and then writing down the dictated novels of a woman from beyond the grave? Yeah, me too.
Seriously, in the early years of the 20th century a number of novels were published that supposedly were not actually attributed to the woman who "wrote" them, but rather were the imaginative flights of fancy from the soul of a long dead literary kindred spirit. It was the summer of 1913 and a skeptic named J.H. Curran finally broke down and took part in a séance involving a Ouija Board, which was enjoying one of its infrequent periods of great notoriety and fame. J.H. Curran placed her hand upon the plastic device that is said to be guided from beyond the grave and spelled out the name Patience Worth. An odd name that certainly has the ring of age to it, Patience Worth eventually passed along such biographical information as her place and date of birth: Dorset, England in the 1600s.
Patience also told J.H. Curran about how she had followed her family to America before her sudden and untimely death in an attack by Indians.
But what is most unusual about this particular story of a life being told from beyond the grave is that Patience Worth didn't stop with her own story; she narrated fascinating tale to Mrs. Curran; a series of historical fictions which eventually were written and published under titles like Hope Trueblood, which was set in the 19th century-some two-hundred years after Patience's death, and The Sorry Tale, which was a novel set during the time of Jesus Christ. Believe it or don't, but Hope Trueblood in particular received much critical acclaim apart from the mysterious fact that it had allegedly been conceived by a woman who lay buried in the ground for
But all the credit must not go to the ghost of Patience Worth. Mrs. Curran had a great deal of patience herself, proving that she was capable of writing two of Patience's novels simultaneously. She would get the dictation for one story and write out a chapter, then get the dictation for another and write that out, continuing to write two completely different novels without seeming to ever get confused or intermix even thematic elements. Indeed, it wasn't just the novel at which Patience and Mrs. Curran excelled; the result of this unlikely collaboration included poetry as well. Curran never varied from her story that the novels and poems were the work of Patience Worth rather than her own, and she typically referred to the ghost of Patience as her "wonderful friend."

Q: how to combine values from Redis and Django-rest-framework I'm building a social app which has a "like" feature, I'm using django-redis to store "like" numbers from every post like this:
from django_redis import get_redis_connection
con = get_redis_connection("default")
con.incr("post" + ":" + id)

From the doc Raw client access
It works great, and I also use django-rest-framework to provide api, ListCreateAPIView to list all posts.Usually it will display any fields you want in the database. The problem here is now I wanna display "like" count from django-redis in this API which means the json return are from my database and django-redis.
I had look around the source code about django-rest-framework
class ListCreateAPIView(mixins.ListModelMixin,mixins.CreateModelMixin,
                    GenericAPIView):
    """
    Concrete view for listing a queryset or creating a model instance.
    """
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.list(request, *args, **kwargs)

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.create(request, *args, **kwargs)

and the list method:
class ListModelMixin(object):
    """
    List a queryset.
    """
    def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        queryset = self.filter_queryset(self.get_queryset())

        page = self.paginate_queryset(queryset)
        if page is not None:
            serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True)
            return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data)

        serializer = self.get_serializer(queryset, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)

It seems like I can only get data from the database queryset(which I use Mysql). Any possible way to return data from django-redis with django-rest-framework?
Solved:
Thanks answer from @Rahul Gupta, I do a little hack to work better:
def get_likes(self, obj):
    post_id = obj.id
    post_like = get_redis_connection("default")
    likes = post_like.get("post"+":"+str(post_id))
    if likes == None:
        return 0
    else:
        likes = likes.decode('utf-8')
        return likes

A: You can add a 'likes' SerializerMethodField in your PostSerializer to add likes in the serialized representation of the object.
class SocialPostSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    likes = serializers.SerializerMethodField() # define field

    class Meta:
        model = SocialPost

    def get_likes(self, obj):
        social_post_id = obj.id
        # here write the logic to get the no. of likes
        # for a social post using the 'social_post_id' from redis
        return likes

Now, the serialized data returned by DRF in list requests will contain a parameter likes along with other parameters.

A: Maybe this is not the kind of answer you're looking for, but my suggestion would be to take a look at Cacheops.
It provides an automatic caching/invalidation mechanism for your django models, so you will not have to handle different lookups for redis and db in your code, just use the default django orm and in the background it will handle the memory caching for you. If you anyway store the likes both in db and redis, this is a better solution in my opinion.


This may happen if you are using a role in Gmail app and that does not have access to Custom Records. It can be resolved by adding the Custom Record Types permission to the role and that should enable access to Custom Records in Global search as well as record filters.
Select the Role you wish to modify and click Edit.
On the Permissions sub tab, click on Setup. In the permission list add Custom Record Types with Level View and Save.

Banking on KC – Glenn North of African Artists Collective
Listen Now, or read the full transcript below:
Welcome to Banking on KC. I'm your host Kelly Scanlon. Thank you for joining us. With us on this episode is Glenn North. He's an award-winning poet, who in 2016 was named the first poet laureate of the 18th and Vine Historic District. He's also the co-founder of the African American Artists Collective, and an activist, educator, and arts executive. Welcome, Glenn.
Glenn North:
Thank you so much for having me, Kelly.
Well, first of all, some congratulations are in order. You've just started as the Director of Inclusive Learning & Creative Impact at the Kansas City Museum.
Yes. Yes. I am really excited about this opportunity.
We're really going to talk about that and what the grand reopening of the museum means for Kansas City and our history. But, what I want to talk about first is, take yourself back to 2014. You were part of the group, that created the African American Artists Collective. Tell us about that group, and how it's bringing awareness to the African American artists and the Black Arts Movement?
Well, 2014. Seems like yesterday.
Doesn't it though?
Yeah, it does. But, I was working at the American Jazz Museum at that time. I was the Director of Education, working very closely with our curator, Sonie Ruffin, and a Congressman Emanuel Cleaver. Who as Mayor, had started that whole renovation and revitalization effort on 18th and Vine, asked us to meet with him at the gates on main. So it was Sonie and myself, along with two photographers, Jason Piggy, and [Dyatlov French 00:01:42], there was also a great musician saxophone player, Director of Entertainment for the jazz museum, Gerald Dunn was there. And, Congressman Cleaver had expressed to us that... Although the 18th and Vine area was doing well, there were still a lot of things that he hoped would happen there, that hadn't happened yet. And he said that, one of the things that he had realized is, he wanted that to be a great area and a dynamic area for artists.
But in terms of the organization, I guess the planning of the revitalization, effort did not include any artists. And so he thought, perhaps getting input from us could help him come up with some ideas about how to move things forward. And so, after that we started looking for a place to kind of have a headquarters on 18th and Vine. And, unfortunately, that didn't happen. But at that point, that conversation had gotten started. And so, there were a couple of other things that we had tried and we just kind of lost momentum, and there were a couple of iterations over the course of the next four years. But finally, around 2018, Sonie was just like, enough's enough. We've been talking about this for four years and it's just time for us to be serious about this effort. In the 18th and Vine area, there was also conversations around equity in the arts community.
We had noticed a lot of arts organizations, were oftentimes getting a lion's share of money that was coming from grants and fellowships, and opportunities for residencies and things like that. And, just seemed like we were not at the table, when those decisions were being made. And so we figured it would be important for us to act as a collective and to have our voices unite, so that we could not only find a seat at the table, but perhaps even create our own table. Along with that, just to build a network of artists that could share resources and even opportunities for mentorship. So, that was the conversation in 2018, and fast forward to this past spring, we were invited by the Nelson, to have an exhibit. And as we were discussing what the theme of that exhibit would be, we got to talking about representation and we got to talking about the importance of telling our stories. And out of that conversation, we decided that the exhibit would be called Testimony, and it is currently at the Nelson. And we'll be there, through March the 27th.
So that is one example, of how holding together multiple voices like you did with the collective, really starts to increase your influence. Here, you have this new exhibit on display at the Nelson, which is the center of a lot of the cultural activities here in Kansas City. School children go there, visitors from out of town go there, in addition to the residents. So lots of awareness that that is creating, what are some of the other things that you have been able to do as a collective?
We have developed a website that really provides connectivity to all of the different artists from various disciplines that comprise the collective. Many of us are connected to artists outside of the Kansas City area, so that's been a wonderful way for us to build and develop relationships above and beyond Kansas City. We've worked with Charlotte Street to do exhibits. There have been some opportunities to have access to different buildings so that we can do workshops there, and artists can have studio space. And, it's just really been an incredible ride, we've had exhibits at the Lee Vocus, 21c, we've been working closely with the 21c hotel to do some programming there with some of the members of the collective. So it's just kind of been this ripple effect. And there were things that were really happening before Testimony opened up the Nelson. But since that has happened, there's just so many conversations we're having about what the next steps are. And it's really exciting.
Well, can you tell us a little bit about that future? What you're thinking?
One of the priorities now is to find our own space, to find a building, hopefully, that would have room for us to have studios and performances. We've been very fortunate in that, as I said, Charlotte Street, and some other organizations have allowed us to utilize different spaces around the city, short-term, for exhibits and certain programs. But, we really want our own space. We also want to partner with other organizations, one in particular, Arrow Rock, Missouri to start providing artists residency opportunities, for members of the collective, and those who might be affiliated with the collective. We want to have ongoing programs, workshops, just to kind of have a consistent presence. And to continue, to grow, and to evolve right now in terms of our numbers on a national level, we're somewhere around 130. And the Testimony exhibit of courses, certainly giving us intention in that a lot of other artists are interested in joining. So, I'm hoping that in the future, the connectivity with people who live outside of Kansas City, will create opportunities for artists to expand their reach and scope as they continue to evolve.
Let's step back for a minute. I congratulated you, as we got started here on your new job at the Kansas City Museum. Again, that's very exciting because the museum has been closed for several years now, for renovations. And it's going to reopen here really soon on October the 21st, right?
Yeah. And so, my understanding is that those renovations were designed to create a 21st-century museum of Kansas City's multicultural history. But, one of the things that they're calling it is, that it's going to be the home of the whole story. Tell us about what that means?
Yeah. In the museum industry, after the death of George Floyd. There were all these conversations about what museums could mean, and re-imagining how museums could be a part of the communities, and the cities that they reside in. The Kansas City Museum was already moving in that direction, in that museums, just like, we talk about what's going on in the education system, have not always been inclusive in terms of the narratives that are a part of the content in those museums. So there are a lot of people, particularly black people and people of color, disenfranchised communities, whose stories have not been told in those spaces. And so toward that end, put together a team, a design team comprised of historians, curators, artists, and educators from all different backgrounds. So that, diversity would be baked into the DNA of the content of the museum. And so, above and beyond what you would see in the permanent exhibit, the museum will also have performance spaces and opportunities for great programs. So it will be, an ongoing effort to make sure all of the voices in our community are represented there.
And, this isn't your first time working in this space. You've been active in capturing the cultural history of African-Americans in Kansas City for many years now. I mean, you've worked with the Black Archives Of Mid-America and we've had Dr. Karma on the show and you were Executive Director of the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Heritage Center. And I believe, you were with the American Jazz Museum for a while. So, how have all those experiences shaped, what your vision for the Kansas City Museum will be and then, what your goals for it are?
Well, I think that museums can stand in the gap, as a space where learning is taking place, museums and cultural institutions have a little more liberty in our ability to be more inclusive, and it's our responsibility. And so I feel that it's important that you tell the whole story, because what I noticed when I worked in the American Jazz Museum and the Black Archives, and even in Bruce R. Watkins, is that white people are also disenfranchised when they don't understand the fullness, or are not made aware of the fullness of American history, which is our shared history. So there were oftentimes, when people would come in and they weren't fully aware of how Kansas City evolved and how redlining impacted people who were living east of Troost, or other things that they just weren't aware of. And I've oftentimes seen them be angry about that.
And I think that, if we educate our youth and help them to understand that America is comprised of all these different ethnicities and all of these different heritages, and it creates a space for us to move beyond a racism and all of those things that divide us. And I know that's a noble kind of a thought, but I think that, we have to think in those terms, because we're battling against a, 400 years of a certain way a system has operated. So, it takes all of us to do the work of dismantling those systems that keep us divided.
In your poetry, addresses social justice issues, and, that self-empowerment you talk about for the disenfranchised. But, artists themselves, sometimes aren't as prominently featured in the annals of history, because it's the artists who are preserving the historical record and, they're doing it before we're even thinking about it as history. So, what are your thoughts on that intersection between art, and activism, and history?
I think artists are typically at the vanguard of struggle. I think, Nina Simone said it best when she said, it's an artist's responsibility to reflect the times. We are documentarians, and we are very interested in making sure that we are recording, what has taken place during the times that we live. I think what makes an artist different than a historian though, is that there is an opportunity through art, whether it's music or poetry or visual art to capture emotions. That's so important to know the facts, but I think art captures the truth and it captures the truth in a way that resonates on an emotional level. And that's how change takes place. I think about my college years, I was very angry and organized several protests on the campus of Lincoln University, and I would oftentimes give speeches that got me in trouble.
And oftentimes, I would be in these debates with the administrators about the things that I was communicating. And, as I became more and more interested in using poetry as a vehicle to express those thoughts, I started to see that the response was much different. Now I could be saying the exact same thing in a poem that I said in the speech 30 years ago, but it just hits people different. And I think that art has the ability to do that. And once you tap someone on an emotional level, I think that's when change starts to take place.
Art has the power to unify, it helps to break down those divisions. The artwork itself can provoke or encourage natural conversations, that might not take place without that piece of art. And, in addition, it helps to create the identity, a lot of times of a place. Can you talk to us about that?
Certainly. So, when you think about Kansas City, we looked at 18th and Vine is helping to shape part of who we are as a city. And we talk about being this place where jazz music grew up. And one of the things that we also talk about, now we'll consider the culinary arts, we're a great place to find some good barbecue, right? And so that's kind of a help to shape our identity. And I think that Congressman Cleaver was moving in the right direction, because he had talked about essentially artists being involved in civic engagement, and artists should be working with the city council. Artists should be working with the office of city planning, to kind of help shape how Kansas City evolves. And, not think that we have just an abundance of artists and a bunch of cultural resources here. You've named several of them, Jazz Museum, the Negro League Baseball Museum, the Black Archives, Bruce R. Watkins, the Nelson, the Camper. We've got all these.
It's really ill for a city this size, and embarrassment of riches in terms of the artistic community that exists here. And if we were more involved, I think that we could help shape Kansas City's own unique identity, and so the people would be looking at us. And in terms of the economic impact, we could be a destination for tourism. If we were able to just amplify the voices of the artists in this community, when creative people and even professional people are thinking about relocating, they oftentimes look to what is the art and culture of that city like? What kind of identity does that city have? Before they make decisions to move there. Those are a lot of the things that are considered when a major convention is trying to decide where they want to have their convention. So, I think that if we were able to incorporate artists in all of these different aspects of what happens if we work collectively. There are some incredible things that could happen, as Kansas City moves forward.
Well, on that note, Glenn, thank you so much for everything that you have been doing for all these many years, to elevate black artists in Kansas City. And we just really appreciate all that you're doing.
Well. Thank you so much for having me, thank you for providing a platform for folks in the community who are just... We're all out here doing our best to make Kansas City better.
This is Joe close, President of Country Club Bank. Thank you to Glenn North, for being our guest on this episode of Banking on KC. Artists like Glenn, strengthen communities. When community support for the arts, art becomes a thriving part of the culture and attracts others to the community, contributing to the economy. Artists also helped to shape a community's identity. Using art as an expression of a community's cultural and social values, artists preserve our history, even as we are still living it. And artists bridge divides, as their art invites candid conversations. Kansas City is brimming with talented artists, who express themselves through a variety of forms, painting, sculpture, textiles, live performances, architecture, and more.
We encourage you to explore their work, which is on display all around us, in museum settings, such as the Testimony exhibit at the Nelson, to murals on the sides of buildings, to live performances in venues ranging from the Kauffman Center, to coffee houses and nightclubs. Country Club Bank is proud to work with, and showcase local artists. Through our relationships with community partners, such as ArtsKC, and the Nelson. And we're also privileged to rotate the work of many local artists in our headquarter lobby at One Word Parkway, every quarter. We're banking on you Kansas City. Country Club Bank, Member FDIC.

In the latest dispatch from the Republican war on Planned Parenthood, on Thursday the administration of Texas Gov. Rick Perry enacted a new rule banning state funds from going to any health center at all affiliated with anyone who offers abortions. The measure would effectively end the Women's Health Program in the state, because federal law prohibits states from discriminating against specific providers in the allocation of Medicaid.
In a statement, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richard said Perry has again "chosen politics over the lives of Texas women." This isn't the first time the Perry administration has cut women's health programs; last year, the governor and legislature axed two-thirds of the budget for those programs, as NPR reported in September.

The band were personally invited by Skid Row & UKJ to join them on their 2014 Australian tour. The band also headlined their own Indonesian tour in November of that year.

Patriot Prayer member allegedly attacked 6 cops at Oregon anti-mask rally
The man who was with a Patriot Prayer member when he was shot dead in Portland last summer has been charged with assaulting six cops during a recent anti-mask rally in Oregon, according to reports.
Chandler Pappas, 27, was arrested Dec. 21 in Salem during a rally that the far-right group billed a "flash mob" against COVID-19 restrictions, The Oregonian said.
He is accused in charging documents of spraying officers with pepper spray and carrying an "AR-style rifle" as he joined others in "forcefully and unlawfully" breaking into the state Capitol building, KOIN News said.
He is being held on $250,000 bail on six counts of assaulting a police officer, as well as first-degree burglary, riot and criminal trespass while possessing a gun, court records show.
Pappas gained notoriety in August when he was with fellow Patriot Prayer member Aaron "Jay" Danielson when Danielson was gunned down after a pro-Trump rally in Portland.
"They executed my partner … they


The Market Abuse Regulation ("MAR") comes into effect on 3 July 2016. MAR will have direct effect in all EU member states. Unlike its predecessor, the Market Abuse Directive, MAR will apply to companies with securities traded on multilateral trading facilities (including AIM) as well as companies with securities traded on a regulated market (such as the Main Market).
The Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") will be primarily responsible for policing compliance with MAR in the UK. Accordingly, from 3 July 2016, AIM companies will become subject to a two-tier regime under the remit of both AIM and the FCA.
AIM companies are advised to familiarise themselves with the proposed changes to the AIM Rules and their obligations under MAR. This note provides a summary of the key changes such companies face and some practical steps they should consider taking now, ahead of 3 July 2016, in order to ensure they are prepared for such changes.
MAR sets out format and content requirements for the notification of information to the market and requires that all information which has been publicly disclosed is posted to the company's website and kept there for a period of at least five years.
Accordingly, when deciding to delay the disclosure of any inside information, compliance with MAR will not necessarily satisfy the requirements of AIM Rule 11 and vice versa. Whilst AIM has decided to retain AIM Rule 11, it is proposed that the guidance notes be amended to make it clear that AIM companies are subject to a dual-compliance obligation.
Review the company's procedures for identifying and disclosing inside information and amend to be consistent with MAR and AIM Rule 11 with MAR. Establish formalised and documented processes if not already in place.
Consider appointing a disclosure committee. If no committee is to be appointed, the directors should ensure there is clarity on who is responsible for taking decisions regarding disclosing/delaying disclosure of inside information.
Ensure proper records are kept in relation to inside information (in particular any decision to delay disclosure). Consider adopting templates for recording such decision.
Take steps to enable all information disclosed to the market can be made available on the company's website.
Nominate an appropriate person to take responsibility for liaising with the FCA and consider how this fits with communication with the company's Nomad and AIM. Implement a process to ensure the company's Nomad is kept informed of all interactions with the FCA.
MAR requires AIM companies to maintain lists of persons working for them who have access to inside information ("insider lists"). Previously this requirement only applied to companies listed on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market.
the time and date at which such person obtained access to inside information.
Companies may, if they wish, keep their insider lists in two sections, one detailing deal or event-specific items giving rise to inside information and another which sets out the company's regular, permanent insiders (i.e. those persons who, if inside information exists at any given time, would have access to it).
Companies will be required to submit their insider lists to the FCA upon request.
Ensure a MAR-compliance policy on maintaining insider lists is in place together with a MAR-compliant template (consider using MAR's template).
Consider whether to maintain a permanent insiders list as well as lists for deal/specific information.
Review any existing insider lists and, if they will still be in place on 3 July 2016, update where necessary to ensure they are MAR-compliant.
MAR sets out new rules on dealings by PDMRs and "persons closely associated" with them. In light of these restrictions and notification obligations, AIM is intending to delete the notification requirements of AIM Rule 17 in respect to directors dealings and replace it with a signpost to the relevant MAR provision. AIM Rule 21 (restrictions on dealings) will also be deleted and replaced with a new rule requiring the AIM company to have a dealing policy and setting out the minimum provisions which it should include (see paragraph 4 below).
Close periods: 30 calendar days before the announcement of the company's interim or year-end financial report (previously 60 days).
Timing of notifications: PDMRs must promptly notify the company and, in any event, within three business days of dealing. The company must in turn make that information public within the same period (i.e. within three business days of the transaction).
transactions resulting in no change to beneficial interest.
Content requirements: MAR provides a specific template for the notification of the transaction.
Threshold for notifications: dealings only need to be reported once a threshold of €5,000 has been reached within the calendar year by that PDMR.
Identify all PDMRs in the company (i.e. whether there are any non-directors who should be treated as PDMRs) and identify their "closely associated persons".
Ensure all PDMRs are briefed on the key changes and are familiar with the company's new share dealing policy (see paragraph 4 below).
Consider whether or not to adopt the MAR-approved threshold exemption for notifications (and include relevant provisions in the company's share dealing policy – see paragraph 4 below). It is expected that most companies will not include this provision in their share dealing policies due to the difficulties of policing such carve-out.
AIM Rule 21, which is to be deleted (see paragraph 3 above) will be replaced with a new rule requiring AIM companies to adopt a dealing policy. While the new rule will not prescribe the detailed content of the policy, it will set out the minimum provisions that AIM would expect to be included in the policy.
Existing AIM companies will be expected to update their policies to ensure compliance with the proposed new rule by 3 July 2016 and will need to ensure such policy reflects the new provisions under MAR.
It is important to note that MAR will lead to the deletion of the Model Code from the Listing Rules (which apply to Main Market companies). Whilst AIM companies are not bound by the Model Code, it has historically been used by many AIM companies as the base for their share dealing codes. It is expected that industry-led share dealing codes and best practice will emerge and this concept is supported by the FCA.
Review your existing share dealing code and consider impact of MAR and new AIM Rule 21. Ensure such amendments as are necessary to comply with MAR and AIM Rule 21 are implemented on or before 3 July 2016.
This note is intended to provide a high level guide to the key changes facing AIM companies in July 2016 as a result of MAR coming into effect and is not intended to be comprehensive. Please contact us if you would like to discuss any of the issues raised.

Kate & Allie es una comedia de situación para televisión de Estados Unidos emitida entre el 19 de marzo de 1984 y el 22 de mayo de 1989. Pensada en principio para contener tan sólo seis episodios, la respuesta favorable de crítica y de público (su primer episodio ocupó el 4º puesto en los índices de audiencia) convenció a la CBS para prolongar la emisión. La serie fue creada por Sherry Coben.

Argumento

La serie narra la historia de la Kate McArdle (Susan Saint James) y su mejor amiga desde la infancia Allie Lowell (Jane Curtin). La premisa: Ambas comparten un piso en el barrio neoyorquino de Greenwich Village tras sus respectivos divorcios, educando juntas a sus hijos.

La serie contaba también con la presencia de Ari Meyers como Emma , la hija de Kate, y Frederick Koehler y Allison Smith como Chip y Jennie, los hijos de Allie .

Kate y Allie tenían citas con frecuencia, pero se las describió como mujeres fuertes e independientes, lo que no dejaba de ser una novedad en la televisión del momento.

En la primera temporada, Kate trabajaba como agente de viajes, mientras que Allie se ocupaba de las tareas domésticas. En la quinta temporada, Kate dejó su trabajo y ambas abrieron su propio servicio de cáterin.

En la última temporada, Allie contrae matrimonio con Bob Barsky (Sam Freed), un comentarista deportivo de televisión y se trasladan a un nuevo apartamento. Bob acepta un trabajo que conlleva viajar regularmente, y Kate se instala en el apartamento nuevo también, después de que Emma fuera a estudiar a otra ciudad. La serie perdió interés entonces entre la audiencia y fue cancelada definitivamente.

La serie fue una de las más populares y aclamadas por la crítica en la década de los 80, manteniéndose entre las 20 emisiones más seguidas hasta su última temporada. Curtin ganó dos Premios Emmy a la mejor actriz en una serie de la comedia, mientras Saint James estuvo nominada en la misma categoría tres veces.

La serie en España

Kate y Allie fue emitida por Televisión española desde el año 1986. El reparto de actores de doblaje fue el siguiente:

 María Luisa Solá ... Kate
 María Dolores Gispert ... Allie

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
SSDI Application Process
SSDI Appeal Process
Does Fibromyalgia qualify as a disability?
Answer: Yes. A person diagnosed with fibromyalgia can be approved for Social Security disability solely on the basis of fibromyalgia. While fibromyalgia is not a "listed" impairment (SSA's Listings are impairments that automatically qualify for disability), SSA must evaluate any condition that has lasted, or can be expected to last, twelve continuous months and that results in workplace limitations. SSA must evaluate how the symptoms of fibromyalgia would impact a person's ability to work.
Inherent in any claim for disability involving fibromyalgia there are evidence issues. SSA has rigorous standards for determining disability. The process places the burden of proof on the applicant to submit "objective" evidence of their disability. This poses a challenge for people with impairments that are not easily established from imaging studies such as MRIs or X-rays. This challenge occurs in claims arising from mental health impairment s as with fibromyalgia. Social Security Regulation 12-2p lays out the criteria for establishing fibromyalgia as a disabling impairment. The first criteria are a history of widespread pain that has lasted at least three months. The pain may fluctuate in intensity. The second criteria are at least 11 out of 18 positive tender points on physical examination. Preferably this examination is conducted by a rheumatologist. This is a crucial physical examination in claims involving fibromyalgia. In lieu of a tender point examination, SSA will consider evidence of repeated manifestations of six or more common fibromyalgia symptoms, including fatigue, cognitive or memory problems, waking unrefreshed, depression, anxiety disorder, or irritable bowel syndrome. If a person is experiencing mental health symptoms due to fibromyalgia, they should consider establishing care with a mental health professional. The final criteria for establishing fibromyalgia in a disability claim is evidence that other disorders that could cause the symptoms were excluded. Prior to a fibromyalgia diagnosis, physicians will typically perform blood and laboratory tests to rule.
It is important to continue to describe fibromyalgia symptoms to the physician in detail, specifying the most painful areas of the body, with examples of how the residual symptoms impact basic activities of daily living.
Even though fibromyalgia is perceived as a challenging condition for the purpose of winning a disability claim, it is still possible to win a case based on fibromyalgia. If your application was denied call the LaPorte Law Firm right away to discuss your appeal rights.

Watson is an adorably petite boy who came to us with his older brother Benjamin. The two lost their parents a few years earlier and were in the care of a ninty-seven-year-old grandfather. The grandfather owned one cow and a tin-roofed house, but he had no other source of income. This was a desperate situation and Social Welfare was eager to find Watson a home alongside his brother Benjamin. God was gracious in opening the doors for the two to come to Rafiki. Watson was very unsure about his new home, but he has quickly embraced his Rafiki family. Watson is an average student in all subjects with good room for improvement. His teacher says he needs to become more organized in his work and study habits. Despite this, Watson does well in Language Arts and seems to enjoy participating in class discussions.
