Life according to: Beatles legend and world's most famous drummer, Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr.
The world's most famous drummer chats to the Sunday Post about married life at 80, his other band, and Beatles reunion.
Your new book looks back on the last 30 years of The All Starr Band and its ever-evolving line-up including the Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh and fellow rocker Peter Frampton. What was it like to forge your own path after The Beatles?
The first band was like everything else – it's brand new. And: "Oh, wow, it's working". And actually, people are coming to see it. That's the good news. And I had a lot of great players. It gave me a chance to be down the front, Mr Personality, while playing the drums for all these other tracks. So, I won both ways.
You've been keeping yourself busy making new music with a star-studded guest list including fellow former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Has this helped you cope with lockdown?
I have a little guest house here (at home in Los Angeles) and it's been my studio for the last 10 years. This time it was a little awkward because people were getting tested to come and play. Or, if they had a studio, they could play in their own place. So that took the pressure off the lockdown a little because I was drumming and singing and hanging out with musicians.
You've been married to Barbara Bach (a former Bond Girl) for 39 years. What's the secret to your happy marriage?
I love the woman. I loved her from when I first saw her at LAX in 1980. She was at the airport with a boyfriend and I was at the airport checking in, and we happened to be going to Mexico to do the same movie. And that's how it happened. Not like it was a big plan. It was just: "OK, here we go". And we get on real well together, relax together. Of course, some days, I don't do it properly. My room's not tidy. I mean, regular s*** that goes down in any couple that has been together a long time. But I'm blessed she's in my life.
You and Sir Paul took to the stage together in July 2019 at Dodger Stadium in LA. Is that something you'd consider doing again post-pandemic?
I loved that. We did it at the 02 (in London in 2018). Then he called me and he said: "I'm doing Dodger Stadium, if you want to do a few numbers." Sure. So he picked three numbers. It's magic for the audience as well as us. I love playing with him. The audience is like: "Oh, there's two of them! Wow." It lifts everything, in a joyous way. So, yeah, I had a great time. We're still pals. We don't hang out with each other a lot. But if we're in the same country, and if we're in the same town we always have a dinner, and we say hi or he comes over here or I go over to his house."

Even though we are celebrating Adult Education and Family Literacy Week for one week in the second half of September, the work of strengthening family literacy continues throughout the school year.
Finally, the Twitter hashtag #AEFLWeek has been very active this week. Twitter users have contributed a number of great ideas and information about literacy efforts across the country. As the school year continues, consider following #familyliteracy and #adultliteracy, among other Twitter hashtags that continue the literacy conversation.


Here network members share practical advice, toolkits and other training resources to help advance arts and humanities approaches to the study of political engagement. They also reflect on the methodologies and mediums that can be employed in such research. As the work of the network progresses it is intended that this resource will develop through the creative interaction of academics, artists, activists and practitioners.
Whilst parliaments have been the focus of very considerable research in some countries for decades, such as in the United States, this is still a relatively under-developed research area within politics. Many reasons explain this, but the main one is related to access to information and data.
When doing fieldwork can be assumed that every individual is different in some respects (e.g., individual history, identity, experience) but shares traits in common with other people in other respects (e.g., gender, social position, values, profession, nationality, ethnicity etc).


This year, 2015, is set to become a historical milestone and a significant 365-days for many, many reasons. Already it is the year that the world stood up together to cry Jesuis Charlie after terrorist attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices. It is the 10-year wedding anniversary of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles and the 50th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill. 2015 is also the year that the big screen goes down in the books.
Marketing Manager Yvonne Diogo explains that this year has officially been declared the year of cinema. Not only are the biggest movie instalments releasing throughout the year, but there is a title heavy-weight releasing on big screens across South Africa nearly every month. The 2015 movie line-up is unlike any other in the history of cinema with everything from huge franchises to some of the medium's most revered directors coming to the party. The box office legend who promised that 'he'll be back', returns to the silver screen in Terminator: Genisys. This latest instalment is sure to contribute to the current box office success of over US $351 million globally for Arnold Schwarzenegger's work. The Fast & Furious franchise has recognised a whole 700% in growth with the last instalment generating a remarkable US $788million at the global box office. 2015 will see the release of Fast & Furious 7.
If action, adrenaline and unthinkable stunts are not enough, cinema audiences can choose to be enthralled by Hawk Eye, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow in the much anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron. These are six super heroes who are set to grow the US $646 million global box office success even more. Beyond hard hitting action and the most revered stunts that are in store, Executive Producer Steven Spielberg's Jurassic World takes epic adventure to new heights as a hybrid dinosaur wreaks havoc.
It's not simply due to the millions of attendances that the cinema movie line up presents a marketing opportunity for brands. Cinema content generates astounding social media engagement, a typical example being Ted. The previous instalment not only generated over US $330 million at the global box office but 13 million Facebook fans, the largest for any animated character to date!
So who will be frequenting the cinema to get in on the action? TGI indicates that the cinema audience accounts for 23% of the total urban population, however it is this market that is responsible for 52% of total urban credit card uses per month, 34% of total urban monthly mobile phone spend, roughly 43% of most recent motor vehicle spend and 58% of total urban holiday spend. Cinema targets high-value customers.
The cinema landscape is also largely made up of a younger audience, with around 62% of the audience being under 35. This is a market comprising of aspirational, social, trend setting 15 to 34 year olds who are in the current middle-to-upper market as well as the future middle market. Research shows that roughly a 1/3 of cinemagoers are in LSM 6-7.
It is with this cinema audience in mind that marketers in South Africa should be paying more attention to the big screen as a media platform than ever before. Those who have historically invested in cinema should look at increasing their spend and those who have not yet been in the cinema advertising space should consider the ROI potential that they are depriving their brands of.
The cinema audience is highly focused which means that this heightened level of attention delivers greater memorability of ads. In a recent 2014 study conducted by Cinemark locally, it was found that cinema takes first place when it comes to holding more attention than adverts in any other media. In fact, 72% of cinema goers pay attention to the screen while advertising is taking place while only 60% of viewers pay attention to television adverts and less than 50% in other media. Phenomenally 46% of cinema-goers have bought or investigated a product or service directly as a result of a cinema advert.
An independent study by Millward Brown carried out locally in 2012 showed that cinema in conjunction with television improves the youth's ability to recall advertising messages by roughly 44%. To achieve this level of engagement by investing more in television would require the purchase of an additional 200 AR's. This type of purchase is significantly cheaper in cinema relative to the diminishing returns on television. Cinema also provides unique reach in comparison to television when it comes to the youth environment.
These findings are evident in global markets as well. A recent Millward Brown study conducted in Australia revealed that 57% of movie-goers felt they took more notice of cinema ads than any other medium and 80% found cinema ads more entertaining.
The writing is on the wall. With thrilling, engaging and high quality content lined up to enthral and an audience holding their breath in anticipation of being absolutely engrossed, could there be a reason why your brand is not considering cinema in 2015?

After he was denied access to report on Sing Sing, one of America's most notorious high security jails, journalist Ted Conover applied to become a prison guard. As a rookie officer, or 'newjack', Conover spent a year in the unpredictable, intimidating and often violent world of America's penal system. Unarmed and outnumbered, prison officers at one of America's toughest maximum security jails supervise 1,800 inmates, most of whom have been convicted of violent felonies: murder, manslaughter, rape. Prisoners conceal makeshift weapons to settle gang rivalries or old grudges, and officers are often attacked or caught in the crossfire. When violence flares up in the galleries or yard an officer's day can go from mundane to terrifying in a heartbeat. Conover is an acclaimed journalist, known for immersing himself completely in a situation in order to write about it. With remarkable insight, Newjack takes the reader as close to experiencing life in an American prison as any of us would ever want to get. It's a thrillingly told account of how the gruelling world of the prison system brutalizes all who enter it - prison guards and prisoners alike.
Ted Conover is a writer best known for his participatory investigations: riding the rails with tramps, traveling with the Mexican undocumented, and working at Sing Sing prison. Two of his previous books, Whiteout and Coyotes, were named Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, and many other publications. He teaches at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University.

MFRR accuses Greece's ruling New Democracy of trying to control media
Greek NEWS, POLITICS
by Athens Bureau
A report published by six international organisations for the freedom of the press accused Greece's ruling New Democracy party of trying to control media and creating a situation like that in Viktor Orbán's Hungary.
While the report raises the alarm over a "systemic press freedom crisis", the government replies that people are still free to opt on what media to follow.
In an interview with EURACTIV last week, Pavol Szalai, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Head of EU/Balkans Desk, said, "The situation of press freedom in Greece is becoming comparable to the one in Hungary".
"We can see a deliberate political will to reduce press freedom. And at the same time, there are other dangerous situations linked to organised crime, which is probably behind the murder of Georges Karaivaz, who is one of the two EU journalists murdered last year", he added.
The report was drafted following a December 2021 visit to the country.
The Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) report noted that the systemic crisis affecting press freedom in Greece has been exacerbated by the New Democracy government's attempts to "control the message" and minimise critical and dissenting voices.
"Newspapers and individual journalists that are ideologically on the side of the opposition or take a neutral stance are singled out by the government for unequal treatment that undermines their journalistic activities," the report said.
"This has been further compounded by a lack of transparency around the allocation of state advertising and its distribution based on established partisan lines," it added.
The report also says journalists covering migration issues such as pushbacks is becoming "increasingly difficult".
"The press freedom violations faced by journalists doing so are linked to the government's restrictive migration policy and an unwillingness to accept public scrutiny of it leading to obstructions to reporting such as arbitrary arrest and detention, restriction of access, surveillance and harassment".
Without replying to any element of the report, New Democracy issued a statement saying the freedom of the press in Greece is institutionally guaranteed.
"Every citizen can be freely informed, at any time, through the media of his choice", the conservative party said.
"The report highlights how Greece is becoming a problematic country on issues of press freedom and democracy," main opposition leader and former PM Alexis Tsipras tweeted.

In Brussels, the media freedom situation in Greece has raised eyebrows.
EU Commission Vice-President Věra Jourová told EURACTIV.cz last December that Greece belongs to the EU countries considered "problematic" when it comes to press freedom.
Greece is ranked 70 out of 180 countries in RSF's 2021 World Press Freedom Index.
Asked if the Commission was worried about these rankings, a European Commission source told EURACTIV Greece that "the media freedom index is an important source for the Commission to inform its work and we pay close attention to it".
Greek MEP Giorgos Kyrtsos was recently expelled from New Democracy party after he strongly criticised the government over the quality of press freedom in Greece saying PM Mitsotakis is heading the country toward "Orbanisation".
The EPP group in the European Parliament led by Manfred Weber, a close ally of Mitsotakis, also suspended his rights as a member for six months.
In Brussels, it's widely believed that the conservative leadership of the European Commission is offering Greek conservatives a temporary protective shield considering that New Democracy is currently the strongest ruling party of the ailing conservative EPP family.

Snakes, spiders, alligators, turtles, birds, and that's only scratching the surface. Fill your Mt. Rushmore vacation with reptiles, flowers, and an exotic wonderland of creatures at Reptile Gardens. Located just a short 15 minute drive from the Powder House Lodge, there's no reason to not visit the exotic land of Reptile Gardens. While staying at the Powder House Lodge, Reptile Gardens is a great way to add some spice into your vacation.
Reptile Gardens is an exotic place that is home to many creatures that should only be viewed under close supervision as this. It is a great way to add some exoticness into your Mt. Rushmore vacation, while you're on your way back to the Powder House Lodge or on your way to see the grand monument of Mount Rushmore.
Look for the giant glass dome at the bottom of the hill!
Admission and hours vary, depending on time of year. Reptile Gardens is not open from December - February.
Reptile Gardens was first founded in 1935 by 19-year-old Earl Brockelsby. He began it due to peoples' fascination with snakes and was known for finishing his tours by lifting his hat to reveal a live, curled up rattlesnake under his hat.
Brockelsby built the first Reptile Gardens location on top of the hill, because at that time, cars would often overheat by driving up a large hill, so his thought was they would have to pull into the Reptile Gardens parking lot to cool off their radiators and they'd stay to see the gardens.
Admission to the park when it first opened was $0.10 for adults and $0.05 for kids.
They have the largest collection of reptiles housed in one location in the world, home to many of the world's most dangerous and deadliest snakes.
Not a fan of reptiles? They are also home to a large botanical garden, and Tortuga Falls, a cascading waterfall that spills into a 30' koi and turtle pond. The botanical garden and Tortuga Falls is home to acres of over 40,000 flowers and perennials mixed with mature, finely pruned trees and shrubs for you to enjoy. Need a laugh? Check out Darwin, our Australian Kookaburra.
Reptile Gardens was home to a 600-pound giant Galapagos tortoise, so named Methuselah, who unfortunately passed away in July of 2011. He had been a long-time resident of Reptile Gardens and so loved that on July 10, 2012, a life-sized bronze sculpture of Methuselah was unveiled, as well as a new kids' playground, and the day was declared as "Go Slow for a Day" by the Mayor of Rapid City in his honor.
Since his arrival at Reptile Gardens in 1954, it is estimated that Methuselah was seen by over 12 million visitors and could be one of the most photographed animals in the country.


Take the guesswork out of website and email optimization with the new Fresh Relevance Split Testing feature. Use hard data and revenue to select the best content - Product Recommendations, Countdown Timers, Banners, Coupons or many more.
Here is an example of a Split Test Rule. You compare two or more alternative pieces of content, using percentage sliders to control how many shoppers see each of them. (Read more about how to conduct a Split Test here).
Click View Report to see which content is receiving the most click throughs and/or conversions, and then reset the sliders so the winning SmartBlock is shown 100% of the time.
A good example is comparing several product recommendations, with different data rules, to see which types of product appeal most to your shoppers. Or you can compare a Countdown Timer vs. a Weather Forecast, or different Coupons. The choices are endless.
Another great use of our Split Testing is when you refresh your marketing every few months. Split Test your new marketing content against the old version, and only continue with the new content if it gets better results..
Sometimes your local Hippo (Highest Paid Person in the Office) comes up with some crazy marketing idea that might just work but probably won't. Split Testing means you can try it on a small percentage of your shoppers, instead of everyone. Then you drop it if the results are bad, or use it widely if the thing works. Your Hippo will be delighted to take credit for the successes.

Q: Howto properly integrate Android SDK (Adt) and Maven : I've created an android project based on android-release archetype (via mvn CLI).
In order to import it to eclipse ADT (version 21) I tried:

*

*mvn eclipse:eclipse

The problem with this approach was that the created eclipse project was a Java project and didn't have an 'android' nature.
so I tried:

*

*importing the pom.xml using M2E eclipse plugin (Maven Integration for Eclipse)

now I have 2 different problems:

*

*the gen folder is not the one used by maven, and I have to add it as a source folder.

*getting ClassNotFoundException for the unit test classes when running via eclipse. Maven has no problems at all.

is this how it supposed to work ? am I doing here something wrong, or I simply have too high expectations?

Communist Party Of Cuba Includes Bitcoin In New Economic Guidelines
Bitcoin (BTC) will be part of the new economic guidelines drawn up by the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) for the period 2021-2026. This information was advanced during the VIII Congress of the aforementioned party, which was held in Havana between April 16 and 19, 2021.
The announcement was made by Mercedes López Acea, a member of the Political Bureau, which is the highest body of the upper management of the PCC. The official indicated that, as part of the new guidelines, it will seek to "advance the study of cryptocurrencies in the current conditions of the economy." In this sense, Bitcoin would serve as an alternative to the economic crisis that the country is going through.
Although no other details are offered in this regard, it could be a first step in the future use of cryptocurrencies by the Cuban government. As reported by Granma, the official newspaper of the only political party admitted to the island, in addition to cryptocurrencies, other "strategic issues for the nation's progress" were discussed. Among them is "the economic management model, investment policy, science, technology, innovation, its impacts on society and social policy."
Although, so far, Cuba has not developed any State policy in relation to crypto assets, these are not unknown to the inhabitants of the Caribbean nation. The virtual communities of bitcoiners prove it.
For example, mention can be made of the Facebook group "Bitcoin Cuba", founded in 2018, which has almost 6,000 members. There, users who seek to buy and sell BTC gather, mainly in person. There is also a self-titled group on Telegram with 3,500 members. Unfortunately, in both communities, among their publications, the disclosure of pyramid schemes with cryptocurrencies predominates.
Also, Google analytical data shows that interest in bitcoin among Cubans is growing and seems to have increased after the recent PCC congress. The Google Trends tool shows that searches for the term "bitcoin" would reach a maximum point so far in 2021 during the current week .
In Cuba there are at least two exchanges that allow the sale of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This was recently reported by CriptoNoticias, along with the existence of specialized remittance companies that use BTC to send money to the island.
Bitcoin is not new to the PCC either. Already in 2014, when the popularity of the first cryptocurrency was notably lower than it currently has, an article published in Granma showed BTC as a possible candidate to dethrone the dollar as the main currency of the world economy.
Also in 2019, this communication body mentioned cryptocurrencies as possible tools to "resist the economic siege." Beyond that mention, no measures were officially announced that include digital currencies.

St. Louis Hip Hop Artist Mourns for Mike Brown
Logging onto Facebook, I noticed I was tagged in a recent post. It was from a St. Louis Hip Hop artist, known as SIC. He is now residing in Atlanta, GA, but his heart is heavily home. A recent incident here in our hometown, St. Louis, MO grabbed the attention of the country Saturday, August 9th 2014. (You can read the full story below courtesy of KMOV.com.) But this incident has moved so many people to do something to make a change. Unfortunately some have resulted in starting riots, and fighting ignorance with ignorance does not solve problems. Though others have united positively, non-violently to make a change; and artist SIC is a prime example of someone spreading the word positively through his craft of hip hop to advise those hurting right now, not to act violently, but to unify. I hope to see more of this in the near future. Whatever your gift is, use it to bring your community together positively, educate one another, respect one another, highlight the value that we only get one life and use your gift to uplift others and glorify God.
Listen to SIC's song titled Hands Up dedicated to Mike Brown of St Louis, MO and to Brown's friends and family. May God cover you all.

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Tensions are high in Ferguson, Missouri and a large police presence is on hand after a teenager was shot to death by a police officer.
The St. Louis County Police Department held a press conference Sunday morning where they stated Brown was shot "more than just a couple of times" by a 6-year member of the Ferguson Police department.
The incident happened in a roadway Saturday afternoon near the Canfield Green Apartments in the 2900 block of Canfield.
Witnesses tell News 4 that Mike Brown, 18, was unarmed and had his hands in the air when he was shot multiple times by a Ferguson police officer. Police have not confirmed those claims and have not released any details of the incident other than an officer was involved and that he has been placed on administrative leave.
Dorian Johnson tells News 4 he was walking with Brown when the officer confronted them and drew his weapon.
"He (the officer) shot again and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air," said Dorian Johnson, a friend Brown's. "He started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots."
St. Louis County NAACP President Esther Haywood told News 4 that Brown was shot once by the officer and then an additional nine times as he lie in the street. Police have not confirmed that account.
"He was a good kid. He didn't live around here," said Desuirea Harris, grandmother of the victim. "He came to visit me and they did that to him for no reason."
Ferguson Police called for assistance from St. Louis County and nearby municipalities as large, emotional crowds gathered at the scene. In all more than 100 officers from 15 departments responded to the area. Tactical teams in riot gear were also called in. At one point, a dumpster was set on fire in protest of the shooting. A section of West Florissant Avenue near the scene was closed for a time on Saturday evening.
Through Saturday afternoon and evening some among the crowds were yelling profanities at police demanding justice. At one point gun shots rang out in the area as investigators gathered evidence. That prompted numerous police canine units to move in and move the crowds back.
The St. Louis County NAACP says they have launched their own an investigation and plan to "get to the bottom of what has occurred and will work to ensure that justice is served for all victims involved."
Haywood also released a statement saying: "We are hurt to hear that yet another teenage boy has been slaughtered by law enforcement especially in light of the recent death of Eric Garner in New York who was killed for selling cigarettes. We plan to do everything within our power to ensure that the Ferguson Police Department as well as the St. Louis County Police Department releases all details pertinent to the shooting. We strongly encourage residents to stay away from the crime scene so that no additional citizens are injured. I have spoken directly with St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, and I am confident that both he and his department will ensure that the investigation is conducted properly and that all details are kept transparent."
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson says St. Louis County Police have taken over the investigation and the officer involved in the shooting has been put on paid administrative leave.

Charles Millot, rođen kao Veljko Milojević (Novi Pavljani kraj Bjelovara, 23. prosinca 1921. - 6. listopada 2003.) - francuski glumac srpskog porijekla. Tijekom više od 35 godina karijere, glumio je u velikom broju francuskih, američkih i jugoslavenskih filmova, od kojih su zapaženi: "Vlak" (1964.), "Waterloo" (1970.), "U gori raste zelen bor" (1971.), "Francuska veza 2" (1975.), "Tajna Nikole Tesle" (1980.) i "Nepodnošljiva lakoća postojanja" (1988.).

Rođen je u Novim Pavljanima kod Bjelovara, 23. prosinca 1921. godine. Bio je sin pravoslavnog svećenika. Osnovnu i srednju školu završio je u Bjelovaru. Sudjelovao je u Drugom svjetskom ratu kao partizan.

Studirao je glumu u Beogradu i glumio u kazalištu u Novom Sadu. Dobio je stipendiju pa je u studentskoj razmjeni studirao u Parizu, gdje je ostao i kada mu je prestala stipendija. Završio je konzervatorij glume u Parizu u klasi poznatoga francuskoga glumca i redatelja Louisa Jouveta. Postao je član kultnoga teatra "Comedie – Francaise", kao jedan od prvih stranaca. Promijenio je ime iz Veljko Milojević u Charles Millot, kako bi imao više uspjeha u karijeri.

Toliko je usavršio francuski jezik, da je čak četiri puta čitao proglas francuskog predsjednika na nacionalnoj televiziji, a u "Comedie Francaise" ostao je čak devet godina.

Skoro cijelu svoju glumačku karijeru proveo je u Francuskoj, gdje je početkom 1950-ih debitirao u kazalištu, a zatim je imao ulogu u filmu "O.S.S. 117 nije mrtav" (1957.) i od tada će nanizati brojne uglavnom sporedne uloge, od kojih su neke bile izvanredne. Tako igra liječnika u filmu "Arsène Lupin protiv Arsènea Lupina" (1962.) Bio je posve nepoznat u bivšoj Jugoslaviji do male uloge u "Bitki na Neretvi", nakon čega se pojavio u većem broju filmova kao što su: "U gori raste zelen bor" (1971.), "Seljačka buna" (1975.), "Čovjek koga treba ubiti" (1979.), "Tajna Nikole Tesle" (1980.), "Ujed anđela" (1984.), "Donator" (1989.) Nakon 1990-ih ponovno je pao u zaborav.

Radio je s mnogim poznatim filmskim redateljima kao što su: Alain Resnais, Jean-Pierre Melville, Costa-Gavras, Vittorio De Sica, Terence Young, Sergej Bondarčuk i Claude Chabrol. Glumio je s mnogim poznatih glumcima kao što su: Burt Lancaster, Gene Hackman, Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot, Orson Welles, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ava Gardner, Jean Gabin, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Caine, Anthony Quinn i dr.

Uspoređivali su ga po izgledu i glumi s francuskim glumcem Paulom Crauchetom.

Bio je oženjen Amerikankom s kojom je kratko vrijeme živio u dvorcu izvan Pariza.

Umro je 6. listopada 2003. godine, kada je imao 81 godinu, u Parizu. Pokopan je u Zagrebu na vrlo skromnom ispraćaju.

After working in a variety of management and technical positions in product development and product management, Philip Lew currently leads XBOSoft's direction and strategy as their CEO. His PhD research in software quality and usability resulted in several IEEE and ACM journal publications. He is also a frequent conference speaker on the topics of web application usability, user experience, and quality evaluation. In the past 20 years, Phil has helped hundreds of organizations assess the quality of their software, examine software quality processes, and set forth measurement plans. His current post-doctorate research areas are focused on user experience measurement frameworks and software learnability.
User experience and usability are key ingredients of any successful mobile app. In this workshop, Phil will describe the differences between the two as important elements of software quality from the end user viewpoint. User experience, in particular, is an element that many forget until the end and generally don't know how to measure since there are no standard definitions. Phil will discuss quality modeling and how usability and user experience should be modeled for the enterprise. This discussion will range from the initial components of quality, to breaking usability and user experience down into measureable characteristics for mobile apps, and then, using these characteristics to derive metrics. These metrics can then be used to benchmark, analyze, and improve the app toward end user satisfaction. Beyond this, Phil will also review a case study where various measurements were implemented to show actual usability improvement.
Understand the difference between usability and user experience.
Develop a usability model for your organization.
Explore key design and evaluation principles in software usability for mobile applications.

Production systems and the policies and institutions that underpin global food security are increasingly inadequate.
Sustainable agriculture must nurture healthy ecosystems and support the sustainable management of land, water and natural resources, while ensuring world food security.
To be sustainable, agriculture must meet the needs of present and future generations for its products and services, while ensuring profitability, environmental health and social and economic equity.
The global transition to sustainable food and agriculture will require major improvements in the efficiency of resource use, in environmental protection and in systems resilience.
Sustainable agriculture requires a system of global governance that promotes food security concerns in trade regimes and trade policies, and revisits agricultural policies to promote local and regional agricultural markets.
Persistently high levels of hunger and malnutrition – 793 million (2015) chronically hungry people in the world in 2014–2016 – and unsustainable human activity on the earth's carrying capacity present a major challenge for agriculture. To meet the growing food demand of the over nine billion people who will exist by 2050 and the expected dietary changes, agriculture will need to produce 60 percent more food globally in the same period. At the same time, roughly one-third of food produced – 1.3 billion tonnes per year – is lost or wasted globally throughout the supply chain, with enormous financial and environmental costs.
A striking link exists between growth in agriculture and the eradication of hunger and poverty. Agriculture broadly understood – crop and livestock production, fisheries, and forestry – provides income, jobs, food and other goods and services for the majority of people now living in poverty. As a result, overall GDP growth originating in agriculture is, on average, at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth generated in non-agriculture sectors, and up to five times more effective than other sectors in resource poor low-income countries.
The current trajectory of growth in agricultural production is unsustainable because of its negative impacts on natural resources and the environment. One-third of farm land is degraded, up to 75 percent of crop genetic diversity has been lost and 22 percent of animal breeds are at risk. More than half of fish stocks are fully exploited and, over the past decade, some 13 million hectares of forests a year were converted into other land uses.
The policy agenda and mechanisms for production and resource conservation are mostly disjointed. There is no clear integrated management of ecosystems and/or landscapes.
Principle 5: Good governance is essential for the sustainability of both the natural and human systems.
The challenges relating to stocks and utilization rates of natural resources often transcend national boundaries. International governance mechanisms and processes must support sustainable growth (and the equitable sharing of benefits) in all agriculture sectors, protecting natural resources and discouraging collateral damage.

Then World Anti-Doping Agency Deputy Director General Rob Koehler testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2017. If 2022 was a defining year for Canadian athlete activism, the snowball started rolling back in January.

2022 was a defining year for athlete activism in Canadian sport
Dec. 27, 2022 9:50 a.m.
If 2022 was a defining year for Canadian athlete activism, the snowball started rolling back in January.
Dave Bedford, a high-profile Canadian sport executive for four decades, retired as Athletics Canada's CEO after the exposure of a series of sexually graphic tweets that stretched back months.
A national team athlete, who requested anonymity for fear of repercussions, spoke out about the "gross" tweets. An emergency meeting was held. Bedford agreed to retire two days later.
In a groundswell of advocacy, athletes in bobsled and skeleton, boxing, gymnastics, rowing, soccer and figure skating among others waged wars this year against leaders in their sports, levelling allegations of toxicity and abuse.
Armed with powerful voices, many found they were as strong off the field as on it.
Rob Koehler, the Montreal-based director general of advocacy group Global Athlete, said his organization had received abuse complaints from around the world this year.
"(But) we have received more from Canada than any other country," he said.
On whether the number of complaints in Canada has risen this past year, Koehler said: "Exploded. Absolutely exploded."
In March, dozens of Canadian bobsled and skeleton athletes wrote a public letter to Sport Canada calling for the resignation of their organization's president, Sarah Storey, and high performance director, Chris le Bihan. After an athlete outcry that lasted months, Storey's tenure ended last month when she didn't seek re-election.
At the recent 45th Canadian Sport Awards, bobsledder Cynthia Appiah, who was among the most vocal in her sport's fight for change, won the Athlete Voice Award as the top athletes' rep.
In May, dozens of Canadian boxers publicly called for the resignation of high performance director Daniel Trepanier. Three-time world champion Mary Spencer was among the most vocal, saying Trepanier should have been "fired a long time ago."
The blow landed hard. Trepanier resigned four days later.
But there were repercussions. Boxer Myriam Da Silva Rondeau recently revealed she was sued by Trepanier for social media comments.
Since March, over 500 gymnasts have been calling for a national independent inquiry into their sport, amid horrific stories of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Most cases involved minors.
Kim Shore and Amelia Cline, former gymnasts and founders of Gymnasts for Change, were among the first to testify before members of Parliament for the Standing Committee on the Status of Women's hearings on the safety of women and girls in sport, which began a month ago.
The testimony has been tearful and tragic. Olympic water polo player and Hall of Famer Waneek Horn-Miller spoke about being "depressed and suicidal" after the national program rehired a coach who was previously removed amid complaints of verbal abuse.
Four former members of Canada's women's water polo team filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against Water Polo Canada, claiming a pattern of damaging conduct that included physical, psychological and emotional abuse and sexual harassment.
The statement of claim, filed on April 29, contains allegations that have not been tested in court.
And world champion cyclist Genevieve Jeanson told MPs during her moving testimony that she was first administered performance enhancing drugs at 16. She called her positive doping test and 10-year suspension the "best thing" that happened to her. It was her escape from an abusive coach.
Erin Willson, the president of AthletesCAN, the association of national team athletes, said she has "absolutely" never seen a year like 2022.
"I feel like it was this slow-building snowball. And I feel like, because athletes started talking about it, more athletes started talking about it … and it really demonstrated the scope of the problem," she said.
"I think that's kind of what happened, the snowball effect of everything in 2022 was athletes recognizing that they weren't alone in the pain and suffering and that their problems were very much interconnected."
Numerous sport organizations have been under the federal government's microscope amid what Pascale St-Onge called a "safe-sport crisis" in Canada. The government's new Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC), meant to be a central hub for safe sport complaints, opened in June.
But some have argued that OSIC is ill-equipped to handle many complaints and is not truly independent.
It's frustrating, said Willson, to hear the outpouring of "the exact same" stories.
"It could be a rugby athlete or a boxing athlete or a winter athlete or a summer athlete, it could be any athlete, but the fundamental structure of their story is the same — it's imbalance of power. There's nowhere to go. There's no accountability," she said.
"It's unfortunate that it's taken this for athletes to discover that they have power, but for so long athletes have been told that they don't," Willson added. "And it's crazy … the athletes are the ones on the field. In bobsled, they're literally risking their lives to go down a hill. It is very much like an owner and employee kind of relationship where athletes don't have a choice. And I think things are changing for the first time."
The new year isn't expected to quiet the outcry. Koehler is aware of other stories of athlete maltreatment that he said will become public in the coming weeks.
"This is not fun sharing tough stories that people have experienced, they've gone through, we're not looking for clickbait," he said. "But there's a lot of healing that comes with people telling their story, who have been silenced forever."
In its year-end message, Global Athlete wrote that "Human rights are athlete rights, this has been the rebel yell of 2022 from athletes all over the world."

India attracted $49 billion FDI in 2019, among top 10 recipients of overseas investment: UNCTAD
Home Uncategorized India attracted $49 billion FDI in 2019, among top 10 recipients of overseas investment: UNCTAD
January 21, 2020 admin-ravish76
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) on Monday said that
India was among the top 10 recipients of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2019, attracting $49 billion in inflows, a 16% increase from the previous year, driving the FDI growth in South Asia. The majority went into services industries, including information technology.
UNCTAD, in its Global Investment Trend Monitor report said that the global foreign direct investment remained flat in 2019 at $1.39 trillion, a 1% decline from a revised $1.41 trillion in 2018.
"South Asia recorded a 10% increase in FDI to $60 billion. The growth was driven by India, with a 16% increase in inflows to an estimated $49 billion. The majority went into services industries, including information technology," it said.
Inflows into Bangladesh and Pakistan declined by 6% and 20%, respectively, to $3.4 billion and $1.9 billion.
"This is against the backdrop of weaker macroeconomic performance and policy uncertainty for investors, including trade tensions," it said.
According to the report, flows of FDI to developing economies remained unchanged at an estimated $695 billion.
It also showed that FDI rose 16% in Latin America and the Caribbean and 3% in Africa.
As per the multilateral agency, FDI flows to developed countries remained at a historically low level, decreasing by a further 6% per cent to an estimated $643 billion.
FDI to the European Union fell 15% to $305 billion while flows to the United States-the largest recipient of FDI- remained stable at $251 billion.
China, the second largest recipient, saw zero-growth in FDI inflows. Its FDI inflows in 2018 were $139 billion and $140 billion in 2019. The FDI in the UK was down 6%
as Brexit unfolded.
Slow M&A activity
The report showed that cross-border M&As declined 40% in 2019 to $490 billion – the lowest level since 2014.
The fall in global cross-border M&As sales was deepest in the services sector which declined 56% to $207 billion, followed by a 19% fall in manufacturing to $249 billion and a 14% decrease in primary sector to $34 billion.
The decline in M&A values was driven also by a lower number of mega deals. In 2019, there were 30 mega deals above $5 billion compared to 39 in 2018.
Future bright
Going ahead, UNCTAD expects FDI flows to rise moderately in 2020, as current projections show the global economy to improve somewhat from its weakest performance since the global financial crisis in 2009.
It said that GDP growth, gross fixed capital formation and trade are projected to rise, both at the global level and, especially, in several large emerging markets.
Such an improvement in macroeconomic conditions could prompt MNEs to resume investments in productive assets, given also their easy access to cheap money, the fact that corporate profits are expected to remain solid in 2020, and hopes for waning trade tensions between the United States and China, it said.
However, it highlighted that significant risks persist, including high debt accumulation among emerging and developing economies, geopolitical risks and concerns about a further shift towards protectionist policies.

Q: how to pass dynamically created textbox values from javascript to mvc controller Javascript that creates different number of dynamic textboxes based on user preference. My JSP Page contains couple of dropdown boxes and the below code to generate dynamic textbox.

I want to pass both the id of the dynamic created textbox and its values, inside a map to the controller.
function submitform() {
    alert("inside submit");
    var ele = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    var map = new Map(); // or var map = {};
    for (i = 0; i < ele.length; i++) {
        if (ele[i].type == 'text' && ele[i].value != null && ele[i].value != '') {
            alert("setting map values");
            alert(ele[i].placeholder+" "+ele[i].value);
            map.set(ele[i].placeholder,ele[i].value);
        }
    }
    $.ajax({
        type : 'POST',
        url : 'test',
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        data : JSON.stringify(map),
        error : function(response) {
            alert("Operation failed.");
        },
        success : function(response) {
            alert("Success");
        }
    });
}

But the above submit function is not working properly.

A Force to Be Reckoned With
A History of the Women's Institute
By: Jane Robinson
Narrated by: Patience Tomlinson
Categories: History, 20th Century
Everyone knows three things about the Women's Institute: that they spent the war making jam; the sensational Calendar Girls were WI; and, more recently, that slow-handclapping of Tony Blair. About 215,000 women in the UK belong to the WI. Their membership crosses class and has recently begun to recruit huge numbers of young women. It was founded in 1915, not by worthy ladies in tweeds but by the feistiest women in the country, including suffragettes, academics and social crusaders who discovered the heady power of sisterhood, changing women's lives and their world in the process.
This fascinating book reveals for the first time how they are - and always were - a force to be reckoned with.

I was a bit dubious when I clicked on the title. But I have found it hard to put down. The WI history is told in a friendly way and is not condescending. Possibly not for everyone, but I would recommend this title with a suggestion of try this history you might just like it.

Bailey warns scourge of long-term unemployment threatens workers
One of the hardest-hit industries is hospitality, which is facing renewed restrictions and fears over the end of furlough.
"Furlough support is about to end and we are moving onto a Job Support Scheme that will not work for many of our businesses. Our sector is being forced to operate under crippling restrictions, so to pay staff for more than hours worked is an unachievable ask for many venues. Unless support is forthcoming, the outlook is only going to get bleaker," said Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UK Hospitality.
Workers are affected differently by region, too, Mr Bailey said, with different degrees of lockdown by location.
The Bank of England estimates that the economy is now around 10pc smaller than it was at the end of 2019, which is an improvement from the worst point of the lockdown when it was down 22pc.
"That is the rapid element of the recovery. But let's be realistic, 9pc is a very big number. So any talk of a 'v-shaped' recovery has to be put into perspective – 9pc is a massive shortfall by historical standards," the Governor said.
This is a contrast to earlier comments from officials including the Bank's chief economist, Andy Haldane, who heralded the 'v-shaped' signals earlier in the year.
