Project Grantee: Shahid Javed Burki Institute of Public Policy (BIPP)
Teemardar Medicine Inventory Management basically improved the management of medicines through better inventory, procurement and tracking systems. Corruption and misuse of medicines at government health facilities resulted in a substantial loss to the provincial exchequer. This impacted the timely availability of affordable and reliable medicine. The TM pilot automated the inventory management system to reduce pilferages, improve availability, maintain visible inventory and create data for informed procurement and distribution of medicine at district level. The pilot was designed to vertically integrate with PITB (which was working on standardised procurement of medicines in the districts) and with the work of district planners to provide evidence based needs assessment of medicine requirements. Additionally, the pilot created displayed spots of inventory for public view to increase transparency. Finally, by tracking exact use of medicine the pilot developed a disease patterning in the district that informed planning and budgeting. The pilot used district government's staff for implementation to ensure uptake. The staff was trained within the pilot. The project was implemented by Burki Institute of Public Policy (BIPP) who signed an MOU with PSPU, Health Department to be responsible technical guidance and sustainability.
The project operated in Sheikhupura and benefitted almost 1.3 million patients who received medicine from the electronic desks. All the historic data of stocks was uploaded to ensure daily inventory record was visible.
Inventory management component of the project led to controlling pilferage, transparency, better monitoring and evaluation and efficient service delivery. Similarly, Electronic Record Management (ERM) resultantly improved patient record, disease records and patient disease history.
Adoption & Scale-up:
A detailed presentation was made to Secretary Primary Health, who instructed to start developing a PC-1 to present the project in the next year's ADP. Economic Viability of Scale-up: Benefit of Province Wide replication: Punjab government was spending around PKR 17 billion a year on medicine. An improvement of 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% may result in efficiency gains through reduction in pilferages, improved availability and improved transparency [i.e. reduction in wastage] from the scale up will result in an annual respective benefit of PKR 0.85 billion, 1.7 billion, 2.55 billion or 3.4 billion with a respective perpetual value of PKR 10.63 billion, 21.25 billion, 31.88 billion or 42.5 billion, assuming discount rate to be 10% and growth of 2%.


County's elections staff wins award for increasing voter registration and turnout among those with special needs.
The Martin County Supervisor of Elections office initiated a project three years ago to get more people to the polls for the 2016 presidential elections.
Specifically, the elections center sought to increase voter registration and turnout among voters with special needs.
Following the creation of a series of videos, which were shown on local TV and the Martin County Elections Office's website (Martinvotes.com), registration and turnout among those with special needs increased by 8 percent.
As a result, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission named the Martin County elections center the winner of the "Clearie" Award for Improving Accessibility for Voters with Disabilities, according to a media release.
"We are so honored to receive this recognition," said Martin County Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis. "Our team works year-round to ensure every eligible voter is registered and election-ready, so they can participate in what is without question one of the most exciting and important acts of citizenship."

My first success in an international book competition!
When I got up this morning and turned on my computer to check emails, I was greeted by an overnight message from the U.S. telling me that Harry's World had been named as a finalist in the crime category of the 2016 Beverly Hills International Book Awards.
Woo hoo! (That was indeed my first reaction).
My heartiest congratulations to the winner of the category, Brigitte Goldstein, for her Death of a Diva - From Berlin to Broadway.
From my own perspective, just thrilled to be named as a finalist. A great day here!

Q: Why is the compiler not compiling top-down in the following? I am confused why I get the error message "src/parser.c:13:1: error: unknown type name 'declared_idents'; did you mean 'declared_t'?" when I declare the struct declared_idents prior to defining the members of the struct.
However, when I move the declared_idents.declared_list and declared_idents.declared_list_length definitions inside the function "is_declared" my code compiles fine. Why is this happening? My code is below:
Parser.c
#include "../include/parser.h"
#include "../include/lexer.h"

operators_t operators[] = {
    {"=", 201}, {"+", 202}, {"-", 203}, {"*", 204}, {"/", 205},
    {"==", 206}, {"!=", 207}, {"<", 208}, {"<=", 209}, {">", 210}, {">=", 211},
};
int operators_length = sizeof(operators)/sizeof(operators[0]);

declared_t declared_idents;
char declare_container[TOKEN_BUFSIZE][BUFSIZE];

declared_idents.declared_list = &declare_container;
declared_idents.declared_list_length = 5;

int is_declared(char *identifier) {

    int i = 0;

    for (i; i < declared_idents.declared_list_length; i++) {
        if (strcmp(identifier, declared_idents.declared_list[i]) == 0) {
            return 1;
        }
    }

    declared_idents.declared_list[i] = *identifier;
    (declared_idents.declared_list_length)++;

    return 0;
}

Moving the definitions at the top of the file into the function "int is_declare(..) compiles with no errors:
int is_declared(char *identifier) {
declared_idents.declared_list = &declare_container;
declared_idents.declared_list_length = 5;
}

Parser.h
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>

#define BUFSIZE 1024
#define TOKEN_BUFSIZE 64

typedef struct {
    char **declared_list;
    int declared_list_length;
} declared_t;

int is_declared(char *identifier);

When I read the logs from the compiler, I see that it reads the header file "src/../include/parser.h:15:3: note: 'declared_t' declared here
} declared_t;" after flagging the error.

A: declared_idents.declared_list = &declare_container; and declared_idents.declared_list_length = 5; are statements, not declarations. In the grammar of the C standard, only declarations and preprocessing directives may appear outside of functions.
The error message is due to the compiler attempting to parse those statements as if they were declarations; it is looking for a type specifier and complains when it cannot find a built-in type name or a typedef type name.

Enno studied visual communication at Bauhaus-University Weimar and Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne. In the summer semester of 2016, together with designer Anna Teuber, he led a class at Bauhaus-University Weimar called Der Blumenstrauß. The two also developed the identity and website for the Los Angels based studio California Carts. Currently, Enno is drawing a serif typeface together with artists Nuno Luz and Michael Stevenson. Furthermore he is working on a catalogue about the sculptural work of artist Jose Dávila, together with graphic designer Santiago da Silva.
Space for Visual Research 2	The new Space for Visual Research 2 publication is the updated lab book, a log of visual experiments conducted using physics, chemistry, optics, and reproduction technology as the starting points for image production. Technical explanations open up possibilities for customized reproductions of each visual experiment presented here, while commissioned interviews and essays as well as a select bibliography render Space for Visual Research 2 a useful reference tool for visual research today.

:Meridian P55	Manipulation of the coating on a printing plate through analogue interventions with various chemicals.
Red Dawn	together with Leonard Herrmann. Red Dawn is a straightforward headline font based on the steel structure of a sign on the roof of a former sock factory just outside the Old Town in Tallinn, Estonia. Each of its characters is formed through the modular combination of two shapes—one short and one long—which can also be represented as sounds. This gives each character a unique sound signature which can be read' by a listener, allowing the font to function as an alternative to Morse code. It was developed over the course of three days, together with Jungmyung Lee and under the supervision of Karel Martens, during a workshop at the Asterisk Summer School in 2015.
Abrupt Rules / Wild Child	together with Alice Vodoz and Jules Moskovtchenko. Based on the movie "L'Enfant sauvage" by François Truffaut, we translated the story with an experimental and fictitious approach into a contemporary context. We especially focused on the boundaries between nature/civilisation and children/education.

December 3, 2014 – On top of holiday preparations and celebrations in December, there are some year-end financial tasks that require attention. Many of those tasks on the financial to-do list have a tax component—specifically, avoiding unnecessary taxes on your investments, or worse, incurring a penalty.
December 2, 2014 – The publication's annual technology survey polled advisors on their satisfaction with custodians and broker-dealers and the usefulness of their various tool types. Then it ranked brands within each category. The survey includes responses from advisors who specialize in accounting and insurance services as well as financial planners.
November 24, 2014 – The Securities and Exchange Commission has three primary mandates: to protect investors; to maintain fair, orderly and efficient markets; and to facilitate capital formation. However, as the commission has demonstrated in recent years, especially since it took on the massive job of implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, it is a broken agency that is failing to do its job.
October 20, 2014 – Custodians, those longtime third-party guardians of customer securities, are launching new products that give traditional registered investment advisers the technology to compete against so-called robo-advisers.
September 19, 2014 – Although it offers more sober, prefabricated investments, such as the all-in-one portfolios akin to target-date funds, [Folio] also allows you to construct a portfolio of up to 100 individual stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds weighted to your specifications.
September 9, 2014 – Folio Investing offers a comfortable blend of prepackaged investment folios, plus the ability to create and customize your own folios. This can be the perfect mix for the person who wants to control his or her own investment strategies, but also wants the option of having access to broker prepared investment packages.
August 22, 2014 – Many default and go to a broker, which is a bad choice because their business is selling securities, not advice. Fortunately, there are many alternatives.
August 3, 2014 – Several online brokers now offer tools that make it easier for investors to put together an ETF portfolio that gives them the exposure they want to various market sectors, and to keep those allocations on target through market ups and downs.
July 30, 2014 – The Global Market Portfolio is the weighted sum of every asset in the world. Your investment journey begins and ends here with a single click.
March 13, 2014 – For advisors, technological change can seem both lightning fast and very slow.

My cousin gave birth to a bouncing baby boy yesterday :0) This is my card to them. I have stamped the giraffe with chalk ink and cut/embossed out using my new Nestabilities dies. They give a lovely embossed edge to the die cut. White card has been mounted to a blue card blank with ribbon wrapped around then the giraffe panel mounted to it with 3D foam pads. The greeting has been stamped with the same ink as the giraffe. The bottom right hand corner has been rounded off with a corner rounder punch. This layout has been inspired by Nichole Heady. I know it is a simple card but I hope they like it!
Awwww, a really sweet card, I'm sure they'll love it!

Electric Car Takes Off on Kenya – South Africa Adventure
NAIROBI, Kenya, May 11, 2012 (ENS) – For the first time, an electric vehicle is attempting an unassisted journey from Nairobi to Johannesburg, South Africa – a distance of 4,800 kilometers (2,982 miles).
The driver is Xavier Chevrin, who left today after a sendoff news conference Thursday at the Nairobi headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme.
Peter Gilruth, director of UNEP's Division of Early Warning and Assessment, flagged off the bright orange vehicle, which drove off with barely a hum from its silent electric motor.

Chevrin is an English teacher on the French Ile de la Réunion with a history of long trips in electric cars. His 2010 trip from Shanghai to Paris was the longest journey ever made in an electric vehicle – a distance of 13,400 km (8,326 miles).
Called Mission Africa, the journey is part of the UN International Year of Sustainable Energy for All, aims to demonstrate the reliability and energy efficiency of electric vehicles under extreme conditions and also highlight the lack of electricity in many communities in Africa.
After a trek through Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa, Chevrin aims to finish in Johannesburg, an estimated 4,800 kilometers and 45 days later.
"We have been using combustion engines for over a century, but now it is a new revolution," Chevrin said. "Within a few decades it will be logical for everyone to have an electric car as it fits with the philosophy of having to be careful how we use energy."

According to UNEP's soon-to-released flagship report on the state of the environment, the Global Environment Outlook 5, the current fossil-fuel based transport system accounts for a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions.
This figure is expected to rise to almost one third in the coming decades.
Chevrin pointed out that the electric vehicle puts out zero emissions and is much cheaper to run than petrol-fueled cars.
The Shangai-Paris trip cost less than US$200 dollars in electricity, compared to the $4,000 it would have cost to use diesel, Chevrin said.
"We want to prove that electricity is an alternative energy source that can be used for transportation," he said.
As with the Shangai-Paris trip, Chevrin will trust in encounters with locals to recharge his batteries. He plans to use these random meetings to engage with ordinary Africans, inviting them on board the vehicle and showing that clean technology is a vital part of the world's future energy sources.

"The successful completion of such a journey depends not only on incredible performances from a machine, but also the people you meet throughout the entire trip," Chevrin said. "Without any back-up or pre-planned stopovers, you have to rely on chance encounters, hoping to progress each day from one point to the next."
However, he will face the challenges of limited access to electricity and frequent power cuts in rural Africa. The car has no back-up generator, so should he run out of power he will be stranded, adding to the scale of the adventure.
"Here in Africa is going to be the toughest so far because of the problems of power supply," Chevrin said.

The vehicle is a Citroen Berlingo powered by Venturi, an enhanced version of cars used by the French postal service.
While the vehicle in use by La Poste has one nickel sodium chloride battery, the vehicle Chevrin is driving down to Johannesburg has three. Recharging the batteries from scratch takes seven hours, plugged into a standard 240 volt socket.
The Citroen Berlingo features a raised suspension to cope with bumpy roads. It can cover 500 km (300 miles) without recharge at a maximum speed of 110 Km/h (68 mph).
This journey is one of the Venturi Global Challenges, a series of technological and human challenges through which Venturi President Gildo Pastor Pallanca intends to demonstrate Venturi's leadership in the field of electric propulsion. Each challenge takes place on a different continent in extreme conditions.
Mission Africa is supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The foundation has a priority interest in developing countries and is focused on three main environmental issues: the fight against climate change, biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of water resources.

Letterfrack celebrates 'bit of a looper' mentor and activist
Former principal retires after hosting 100 festivals in adoptive north Connemara village

"He sits at the back of the room. He lurks around the edge of the gathering. He's down the corridors somewhere, doing something. He's a nice country fellow, you'd say. Very quiet."
"Very wrong. He's the 'Lion of Letterfrack'. Observant. Alert. Unruffled. Mighty. Bristling with good ideas, nurturing and listening."
"Not a stranger to anger at our carelessness towards the world we live in. Not taking resistance for granted. Working for it, seeking ways out of the conundrum . . ."
With a sharp film-maker's eye, Lelia Doolan captures the impressions of many on meeting Leo Hallissey. The mentor, teacher and community activist has spent the past 34 years hosting over 100 festivals, and more, to celebrate a long love affair with his adopted north Connemara. These achievements, however, would not have been possible without his wife Clare O'Toole, his colleagues and his neighbours.
Hallissey has been much moved, and not a little mortified, by the extent of the tributes
Many a music session, sports event, book fair, banquet, parade and talk took place in "classrooms, in tearooms, in barrooms and frequently in no rooms at all, but in the great outdoors of bog and beach, shore and swamp, woodland and wetland", according to Artisan House publishers Mary Ruddy and Vincent Murphy of Letterfrack.
"And much of the most cherished memories were created in your welcoming and hospitable home amongst your family, Oisín, Fíachra and Clíodna – tables laden with food, an endless supply of fresh baking, convivial company, best music, a dash of madness, all offered with style and natural grace," they write in the introduction to a "magic book", 150 contributions collated for a banquet to mark the retirement of Hallissey and O'Toole.
Hallissey has been much moved, and not a little mortified, by the extent of the tributes. He says he still has all the energy of the "bit of a looper with a messianic zeal" – zeal that fuelled the foundation of the Connemara Environmental Education and Cultural Centre.
Hallissey stresses this body has always been, and will continue to be, a community effort, and remembers the contribution of the late Aingeal Ní Chonghaile who died earlier this year.
Letterfrack village, 13 km north of Clifden, was founded after the Famine by Quakers James and Mary Ellis. It was still synonymous with grief and suffering when Hallissey, originally from Co Clare, moved from Dublin to take up a primary teaching post.
More than 2,800 boys had passed through St Joseph's Industrial School in Letterfrack from 1888 to 1974, and 126 complaints against 68 individuals associated with it were received by the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse in 2000.
Shortly after the industrial school's closure, a group of community activists purchased the school buildings and convinced the State to transform the farm and lands around Diamond Mountain into what is now Connemara National Park.

'Visionary' founders
"The founders of Connemara West plc were visionaries and it is they who laid the foundations for what we do now," Hallissey says, extolling the work of two surviving members, Joe O'Toole and Michael O'Neill.
The former industrial school's main building now houses the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology's furniture design and wood technology department, while the Conservation Letterfrack company, run by Sven Habermann, undertakes work for State institutions and others, with clients ranging from Marsh's Library and Adare Manor in Co Limerick, to the National Gallery of Ireland.
"Just think of it," says Hallissey, "in this small village we have over 500 people involved in education at all levels, from the creche and primary school to an adult education centre, Youth Reach, and GMIT, while Connemara West has further plans for a complex for overseas students . . . It means that accommodation for visitors is occupied for 90 per cent of the year. When the students leave, the summer tourists arrive."
We aim to mirror what Dr Brendan Dunford and colleagues have done with the Burren farmers through Burren Beo
"We have created a place associated with kindness and creative, and beauty and welcome,"he adds.
The model is "a shared space, of love and care, above all for the stranger", Hallissey says, quoting from The Prophets are Weeping , a poem President Michael D Higgins wrote in 2014 after the Yazidi people were driven from their mountains in northern Iraq.
The poem is one of 10 which form the Letterfrack poetry trail, located on plaques in the Connemara National Park, the Connemara West centre and Letterfrack village. Contributors Eva Bourke, Moya Cannon, Louis de Paor, Theo Dorgan, Michael Gorman, Rita Ann Higgins, Joan McBreen, Paula Meehan, Mary O'Malley, Rita Ann Higgins, Theo Dorgan and Paula Meehan reflect the wonder of the landscape bordered by mountains, islands and Atlantic.
The collection has been published by Artisan House, with an accompanying CD of the poets reading their work. Music by Conor Keane is performed by 40 young players and their teachers Marie Walsh, Mary Bergin, Yvonne and Liz Kane and Micheál Ó Cuaig, while teenager Séamus Ó Flatharta sings Johnny Seoighe, a tender rendition of famine hardship.
Music and musicians have been integral to Hallissey's community activism and environmental work, with Sharon Shannon barely out of teenage years when she first played at one of his festivals, and Seán Tyrrell performing his interpretation of Brian Merriman's Midnight Court.
Hallissey and O'Toole stretched their "open house" to its limits in those early days. "I remember waking up one morning and stepping over various bodies on the floor, including Seán Tyrrell fast asleep, swaddled in a curtain," Hallissey says, laughing.
Hallissey has no intention of pulling back from much of his community work, as he is still director of three companies. The festivals will continue, he hopes, and the annual Inishbofin summer school will run under the tutelage of Dr Noirín Burke of Galway Atlantaquaria.
"That summer school works so well for the island and for us," says Hallissey. "One of the hallmarks of its success is that retired teachers will actually return to attend it."
Letterfrack bucks the "rural Ireland is dying" trend, he knows, but it requires constant vigilance. Central to Hallissey's ethos is a refusal to accept a "one size fits all" policy adopted by the State, whether it is an educational system that rewards "performance rather than expression", or social housing that doesn't allow for individual design, or economic models that do not treat the community as stakeholders and exploit, rather than sustain and nurture, existing resources.
"We have Clúid housing association working with us, and we have set up Connemara Care to provide homecare packages to the elderly and vulnerable, but we need more imagination from the Government – extending from local authority architects who allow for some individualism, to initiatives which can make the most of our local fresh food and allow the thousands of tourists coming through here to experience that,"he says.
Forum Connemara also has plans to work on sustainable farming and walking tourism models in the Twelve Bens and Maumturks. It recently secured a grant under the European Innovation Partnership fund administered by the Department of Agriculture.
"We aim to mirror what Dr Brendan Dunford and colleagues have done with the Burren farmers through Burren Beo," he says. "We aim to provide a template for how a coastal community can thrive."
In the meantime, Hallissey has grandchildren to spend more time with and more people to meet.
In the "magic book" prepared for the retirement banquet, Tyrrell recalls overhearing a conversation in a bookshop, where a woman described how her children's teacher "brings them out into the bog and the sea shore filling their minds with the wonders of nature."
"I said to myself that has to be the one and only Leo Hallissey she is talking about. Honoured to call him friend."
Letterfrack Poetry Trail book and CD (€12.50) is published by the Connemara Environmental Educational and Culture Centre and Artisan House. See artisanhouse.ie

On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, I explained how and why Justin Trudeau is sabotaging NATFA.
Canada's Media Party has been pretending Trudeau is playing "five level chess" in negotiations with Trump, but we just got snubbed in a bilateral trade deal the President signed with Mexico and his tariffs on the automotive industry risk plunging Canada into a recession.
But Trudeau doesn't mind ruing our trade relationship with the United States, he wants negotiations to fail so he can campaign against Trump in the next federal election.
WELL HE IS FROM QUE. YOU KNOW.
Ontario made "Ladas or Trabants" on the horizon?
"political genius" Andrew says of Trudeau….I read this five minutes ago and I'm still laughing. Thanks Andrew!
Justin doesn't play Chess . . . . he plays Checkers . . . Chinese Checkers !
Trudope has already thrown Canada under the bus Andrew . . . . when are you going to wake the h*ll up . . . when the Auto Industry moves across the lake to Michigan?
All knowing andrew…..one can never use trudeau and the words "political genius" in the same paragraph let alone in the same sentence. Trudeau and genius is an oxymoron!
Trudeau is far from "sabotaging" it. For one thing, we have yet to give Trump a single concession. The strategy here is pretty clear – he's stalling and waiting for the knives to come out for Trump, who is increasingly isolated in his own stance.
Political genius, really, even if certain factions hate Trudeau so much they'd willingly throw Canada under the bus to spite him.

Q: ß becomes SS in bibliography with BibLaTeX/Biber and XeLaTeX Background:
I am using BibLaTeX, Biber and XeLaTeX to write a book that contains a bibliography. The bib-file is encoded as UTF-8 and contains "special" characters such as umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and sharp s (ß).
Problem:
When I compile the document, the "ß" are replaced by "SS" in the bibliography, as in the following:

Note that the umlauts are ok.
Compiling the source with pdfLaTex yields the desired result, as in the figure below, but for certain reasons I would like to stay with XeLaTeX.

Here are the minimal working examples:
.tex-file
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, DIV=calc]{scrbook}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % output font encoding
\usepackage{lmodern, textcomp} % beautiful fonts (latin modern).
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % input language. Required only for pdfLaTeX.
\usepackage[ngerman, UKenglish]{babel} % language support
\usepackage{csquotes} % prettier quotes
\typearea[current]{calc}
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear-icomp]{biblatex} % biblatex
\addbibresource{test.bib} %biblatex

\begin{document}
\title{Some title}
\author{henning}
\maketitle

Here is some reference \parencite{Bluehdorn2010}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

.bib-file
@INCOLLECTION{Bluehdorn2010,
  author = {Ingolfur Blühdorn},
  editor = {Sebastian Bukow and Wenke Seemann},
  title = {Win-win-Szenarien im Härtetest. Die Umweltpolitik der Großen Koalition
    2005-2009},
  booktitle = {Die große Koalition},
  year = {2010},
  publisher = {VS Verlag},
  pages = {211 -- 227},
  address = {Wiesbaden},
  keywords = {germany, grand coalition, environment},
  timestamp = {2012.07.18}
}

Note that the problem persists whether or not I use \usepackage[utf]{inputenc}.
Question:
How can I configure XeLaTeX to produce sharp s instead of double-s?
Any hints are very much appreciated!

A: For xelatex use
\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, DIV=calc]{scrbook}
%\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % output font encoding
%\usepackage{lmodern, textcomp} % beautiful fonts (latin modern).
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % input language. Required only for pdfLaTeX.
\usepackage{fontspec}
...

A: Another solution is: {\ss} instead of ß or ss.


So today I bring you this outfit, worn on a busy day after our comeback. (busy to say the least...office, meetings out of the office, pictures, and so on).
Um look giro. Essa mala dava jeito por aqui!

CoinDeal Expands Into U.S. Market and Announces CDL Token Giveaway
root 2019-07-05 sudan4tech
CoinDeal, a popular exchange platform for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, is celebrating its expansion into the United States by giving away CDL, the token that powers its exchange. Here's the scoop on the company's expansion into the U.S. market and its token giveaway.
Launched in March 2018 by three Polish founders, CoinDeal has been a popular cryptocurrency exchange for users based in Europe. Now, the company has announced plans to expand operations to the United States, saying that the platform will soon be available to users in "about 14" states. These include Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming, according to the company.
CoinDeal expects to expand into another 12 states, in addition to those initial 14, later this year, CEO Adam Bicz said in a statement. He added that "if all goes well," the company will support trades between cryptocurrency and U.S. dollars on CoinDeal by the end of 2019.
The support for trading in the United States is the result of a thorough effort to obtain the necessary licenses and permits required to operate a cryptocurrency exchange in each state that CoinDeal will support.
In a statement, CoinDeal said, "Expanding into the U.S. market has quickly become the priority for CoinDeal's executives as they believe the U.S. crypto market to be unparalleled in regards to the amount of potential traders and liquidity available."
CDL Token Release
To complement the expansion of its exchange, CoinDeal has created CDL, which can be used to pay for transactions on the CoinDeal platform.
CoinDeal is creating 50 million CDL tokens in total and will give away 90 percent of the total supply to its users, a company representative said. To claim CDL tokens, users need to have a fully verified CoinDeal account, then log in to the platform to claim their share of tokens. The token giveaway is available to the first 450,000 users who claim it.
The CDL token runs on the EOS blockchain and can be staked to earn fees, CoinDeal said. The company also indicated that it plans to buy back CDL tokens in the future.
CoinDeal co-founder Alex Strześniewski said of the U.S. expansion and CDL giveaway, "This is the culmination of over 12 months of work, and we are incredibly excited to be finally sharing this moment with our users."
He added, "The U.S. is the land of opportunity, and this may very well be the defining moment in our company's history."

The Comet Is Coming: a new dimension
With a new album, 'Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam', out now, and a gripping and psychedelic live show touring the world, experimental jazz outfit The Comet Is Coming are back in full futuristic force. Ben Hindle speaks to them after their recent London show to learn more
Ben Hindle
"It's about arc, it's about drama and about a kind of flow of consciousness," Max Hallett, aka Betamax Killer, tells DJ Mag down the phone from an airport security queue. We're discussing how the raucous, tangible energy that defines the live shows of The Comet Is Coming — the band he's in with King Shabaka (Shabaka Hutchings) and Danalogue the Conqueror (Dan Leavers) — is crafted.
Rewind a few weeks and that energy is in full swing. Mounted on a stage in the middle of Hackney Wick's Colour Factory venue, the trio blast out music from their new album 'Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam' (alongside a few old favourites) from within a vortex of swirling smoke and flashing lights. The in-the-round set-up — which Hallet says the band like because it "feels really intimate... more like a community thing" — has been specially put together for the show, taking a full day to put together with the addition of a new PA to achieve the 360-degree inside-to-out sound that's currently shaking us to our core.
A next-level drummer, Betamax provides the beats, while Shabaka — now able to spend more time on the project since the dissolution of his Sons Of Kemet outfit at the end of the summer — sends each tune into the stratosphere with his saxophone noodlings. Most striking of all are Danalogue's synth lines, which boom and soar — one moment twinkling like a voyage through the Milky Way, the next looped into a pounding gabber beat, and the next roaring with distortion like the overdriven bass of doom metal giants Electric Wizard. This latter style is best heard on the appropriately titled 'THE HAMMER', the space between its plodding march filled with a grinding low-end and maniacally screaming sax.
It's fitting that Dan's synth elements should leave the biggest impression on us, given how 'Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam' feels like The Comet's most electronic album yet. Recorded in much the same way as previous efforts, the tracks are a mix of studio compositions and live jams with varying levels of post- production by Dan and Max. "We do overdubs and we restructure things and kind of accentuate things that happen naturally and make them more dramatic," Max says of the latter part. "Me and Dan are kind of mixing, but also adding little bits, trying things back to front, seeing how things work together. Sometimes we end up going, 'Wow, we've really transformed this, we've restructured this so much it's basically a new tune', and then other times it really is more natural jam sessions that retain their basic structure, which is more spontaneous."
The album is still as sonically psychedelic and jazzy as previous efforts, but the overall picture painted by 'Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam' leans more towards dance music than ever before. It's not necessarily a view the band takes, or a direction that was intentional — they're just doing their thing, and having all been influenced by electronic music over the years "it's just part of how we understand musical structures," says Max. But with the funky dance groove of lead single 'CODE', sleek Magnetic Man-esque wobble of 'PYRAMIDS' and relentlessly propulsive 'ATOMIC WAVE DANCE', it's hard to ignore from a listener's perspective.
"We don't plan to do it, 'cause a lot of our music just comes from playing together and trancing out and then seeing what happens," explains Max. This 'trancing out' comes into its own on stage. The band uses various techniques — rituals to create a "collective routine" and get into the right headspace before playing. One is the famous Wim Hof breathing technique, a kind of hyperventilating used to pump extra oxygen around the body; "It gives you quite a particular vibe in your head where you're kind of very relaxed and focused, but also energised, and your body feels oxygenated."
Another ritual sees the band choose three words (one each) to focus on during the show. "It just ties into our interest in the collective mind and collective creativity, 'cause you get these nice poetic collisions of words," says Max. "It's just kind of fun, it's spontaneous, and then you go on stage and you're all thinking about the same three words. It's different every gig and it just starts to synchronise, so you can get into sync for the show."
The latter process was also how they came up with the album title 'Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam', utilising the technique to provide a description of their music, something they're regularly asked to do in interviews. The result is an incredibly powerful live show that's become renowned across the industry. Tracks become ever-evolving expansions of their recorded forms.
"No one wants to be a slave to the track," Max says of the outfit's desire to build upon their existing music when playing live. "If you're naturally getting curious about adding more stuff, you can do it, you can always keep playing with the music, you can play whatever you like and it's nice. A lot of it's just based on these things that just happen — I dunno, music just happens," he laughs. "We're not big rehearsers; since we played at the Colour Factory, our set's already changed and different things are happening now."
He describes the live set as like a starting 11 in a football match; "You've got your players and you can sub off different tracks and try different tracks on, and it's all kind of based on some kind of tactics, to create a particular vibe, a particular arc, a particular timeline of events."
The analogy works in more ways than one, also fitting in with the physicality of the show, which sees the band throw everything they have into each tune. At the time of writing, they're in the middle of a US tour — Max is about to fly out to Chicago to rejoin the others after a trip back to London — he says the show is "bubbling away and it's just starting to settle down now... It's all starting to get even better for us."
So they've worked out the perfect formation? "Exactly, we're like mid-season now," he says with a laugh, "we're clocking up the wins. It's been really great; there's a great vibe in the camp right now and I'm excited to get back out there."

Jacko got to his feet. Still breathing heavily, he picked up the thing on the ground beside him. It was a comb, a square comb made of gold.'How did you know?' he said quietly to Robbie. Then, when there was no answer: 'How did you know?' Robbie backed away from the hate he saw in his brother's face. 'You sent it!' Jacko grabbed the boar's huge head by the snout and raised it. 'Damn you! You're responsible for all of it!' Robbie's mouth opened in denial. Then the truth of the words hit him. Jacko was right. He had sent it. He had sent it twice now. 'If we meet again, brother,' Jacko said softly, 'I'll kill you.'
Three teenagers, Robbie and Jacko Ogilvy and their cousin Kat Lindsay, are caught up in a deadly triangle where their relationship with one another mirrors a tragedy played out over a thousand years before. If they are to survive, they must break free of the circle in which myth, magic and reality blur.
A novella-length book, set (and written) in the 1980s, for young adults or for anyone who enjoyed the Alan Garner timeslip novels of the 1960s.
read the 1st chapter
Hexagon - Chapter 1
As the massive bulk of the aircraft carrier edged away from the flag-waving crowds on the quayside, Robbie Ogilvy reached across the table for another slice of bread.
'A month.' His brother Jacko's eyes were fixed on the screen. 'Give it a month. Two at most. It's just the Argies, after all, we'll beat them easy.'
'Since when were you a military expert?' Robbie said.
'Shut it, dork!'
'So make me, muscle brain.'
'Stop it!' their father snapped. 'Both of you! Eat your soup or the set goes off!'
'It shouldn't be on at mealtimes anyway,' Mrs Ogilvy said. 'You're as bad as they are, George. When Katherine arrives tomorrow we'll have no TV until dinner's finished.'
The boys looked at her, appalled. Their father didn't seem too happy, either.
'Come on, Mum! It's only for the news,' Jacko said. 'Ten minutes, max. And Katherine won't mind, she'd want to watch it too. Her dad's probably on board, if they've brought him back.'
'That's beside the point. Having the TV on at meals kills conversation.'
'Doesn't show much sign of doing it, then, does it?'
'Less of your cheek, laddie,' Mr Ogilvy growled. He got up, walked over to the TV set and pressed the off switch. 'Your mother's right. We'll catch up later. It's not as if anything's happening yet. They're just on their way.'
'Beats me why they need to go at all,' Robbie said.
Jacko grinned. 'Why don't you phone Thatcher and tell her? I'm sure she'd be fascinated.'
'Look, just because you can't wait to -!'
'Now that's enough, both of you!' Mrs Ogilvy put down her spoon. 'If you can't sit down together for five minutes at a stretch without bickering, go and eat in the kitchen!'
They finished the soup in uncomfortable silence. Mrs Ogilvy took away the bowls and brought in the main course.
'So what's this Katherine like, then, Mum?' Robbie said finally, when she had ladled the stew onto the plates and sat down.
'You know very well. She and her mother were here six summers ago. You can't have forgotten.'
'Come on! I was nine! And she was what, twelve?'
'Eleven. Her birthday's a month before Jacko's. Even so.'
'You saw her last year, didn't you, when you went down for the funeral?'
'Getting excited, are you, Robbie?' Jacko said, helping himself to potatoes, his eyes on the spoon. 'Don't bother. She won't even look at you, boy.'
Robbie turned on him. 'You can just -!'
'Now that is it!' Mr Ogilvy's hand hit the table, hard. 'You've been told already. If the two of you can't take part in a civilised conversation you'll eat elsewhere and give us some peace for a change. Is that clear?'
They stared at him.
'He started it,' Robbie said sullenly.
'And I'm finishing it. If it was Jacko tonight it'd be you some other night.You've been acting recently like a pair of five year olds. Worse.'
Jacko picked up his plate. 'Fine by me,' he said.
'Stay where you are!' his father snapped.
Jacko shrugged and set it down again. 'Okay,' he said. 'So what was she like, Mum?'
'Just an ordinary girl,' Mrs Ogilvy said. 'Quite pretty, very like her mother when she was young to look at, although that wouldn't mean much to you. Quiet, but then she would be, under the circumstances. I didn't see much of her, actually. She came home for the funeral, but her father thought she'd be better off going back to school straight away, to be with her friends.'
'Par for the course,' Mr Ogilvy muttered, reaching for the vegetables.
'Now that's not fair, George,' his wife said. 'Bob couldn't stay long himself. He's quite senior, remember, and he had a lot of arrangements to make before he went back out.'
'Oh, yes. I know that. But it was a strange setup to begin with, him on posting abroad, his wife in London and the girl away at boarding school most of the year. They didn't even meet up for holidays, half the time.'
'None the less. And with Pauline gone now, not to mention this Falklands business, things are even more difficult for him. Having Katherine for the Easter holidays is the least we can do. She is a relative, after all, however distant.'
Mr Ogilvy grunted and concentrated on his stew. Then he looked up and pointed his fork at Robbie and Jacko.
'I'll tell you now, though, you two,' he said. 'There'll be none of this nonsense while the girl's here. You can be at each other's throats again every minute of the day if you like after she leaves, but while she's under this roof you'll behave in a civilised manner. Is that clear?'
Jacko scowled at him, then shrugged. 'Sure,' he said. 'No problem.'
'There had better not be. Robbie?'
'Yes. It's clear.'
'Just remember, then.'
'Besides,' Mrs Ogilvy said, 'it'll be good for you to have someone your own age in the house. Barring that one visit I don't think Katherine's been to Scotland very often. Not to this part, anyway. You can show her around.'
'Oh, great,' Jacko murmured.
'And don't forget, she isn't used to boys. She's an only child and she's spent most of her life in an all girls' boarding school.'
'Which doesn't mean you can take any liberties,' their father said. 'That's another thing I want you to remember.'
Jacko grinned. 'Hear that, Robbie?' he said. 'Hands off, little brother. As if you need the warning.'
'I'm talking to you both,' Mr Ogilvy growled. 'Just remember she's a guest, and behave accordingly.'
'I'm sure she'd be interested in the stone, for a start,' said their mother. 'She's seen it before, I know, but she's probably forgotten.'

Thousands of Target employees work over 50 hours a week. Why don't they get overtime?
By Max Nesterak March 17, 2020 Target Corp. has quietly settled half a dozen class action lawsuits and still faces two more from workers who allege the company has failed to pay overtime they're owed. Target calls these workers "executive team leaders" and pays them managerial salaries — as opposed to hourly wages — that keep them from earning overtime. But the workers say they are worker bees like other Target staff, restocking shelves, hauling garbage and bagging groceries. In legal filings, workers say Target regularly requires its low-level managers to work 50 hours a week or more because they don't earn overtime, while ...

Target's a gig-economy company now … and that means gig-economy horror stories
By Mark Reilly February 18, 2020 Target Corp. has been boosting its minimum wage rates for store and warehouse workers in recent years. But pay at its Shipt subsidiary seems to be going in the other direction, according to complaints from some of the delivery service's contract workers. "Every single person is losing money," one "Shipter" told Gizmodo, after Birmingham-based Shipt introduced a new algorithmic pay scale in several markets. The old model, workers said, was relatively transparent — a flat fee for deliveries, plus a given percentage of the sale and tips. That structure was fairly generous by gig-economy standards (especially when ...

Q: OpenCV 2.4 CascadeClassified detectMultiScale arguments I was looking at the objectdetect sample and tried it with a couple of body detection cascades(*haarcascade_fullbody/haarcascade_upperbody/haarcascade_lowerbody,haarcascade_mcs_upperbody*) on some footage I took with a camera of a pedestrian bridge. So far so good, but it's a demanding functionality.
I though thinks might run smoother if I pass the min/max Sizes since my camera is always in the same place and I figure out the min/max bounding boxes. Unfortunately I ran into syntax errors when trying to do so:
//my call
body.detectMultiScale( gray, bodies, 1.1, 2, 0|CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE, cv::Size(30, 30),cv::Size(0,0),cv::Size(5,13),cv::Size(45,80));
//errors:
main.cpp:43: error: no matching function for call to 'cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(cv::Mat&, std::vector<cv::Rect_<int>, std::allocator<cv::Rect_<int> > >&, double, int, int, cv::Size, cv::Size, cv::Size, cv::Size)'
/opt/local/include/opencv2/objdetect/objdetect.hpp:383: note: candidates are: virtual void cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(const cv::Mat&, std::vector<cv::Rect_<int>, std::allocator<cv::Rect_<int> > >&, double, int, int, cv::Size, cv::Size)
/opt/local/include/opencv2/objdetect/objdetect.hpp:393: note:                 virtual void cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(const cv::Mat&, std::vector<cv::Rect_<int>, std::allocator<cv::Rect_<int> > >&, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> >&, std::vector<double, std::allocator<double> >&, double, int, int, cv::Size, cv::Size, bool)

I simply added two cv::Size objects as the min max, but to be honest I'm not sure:

*

*Why the previous arguments are Size() objects as well when the docs
list them as ints ?

*Am I looking at the wrong docs or at the docs
in a wrong way ?

C++: void CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale(const Mat& image,
  vector& objects, double scaleFactor=1.1, int minNeighbors=3, int
  flags=0, Size minSize=Size(), Size maxSize=Size())

from docs.

A: It seems I was passing the wrong arguments. This worked:
body.detectMultiScale(gray,bodies,1.1,3,3,cv::Size(5,13),cv::Size(45,80));

A: Faced same issue in my case. Following line worked for me. If you consider, I am only providing the minimum size cv::Size(45,80).
I am still investigating about other parameters but this is working currently.
haar_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray,faces,1.1,3,3,cv::Size(45,80));
