So, there are apparently hundreds of Honduran (at least 1,000) migrants on their way to the United States border as we speak despite the fact that mere days ago Vice President Mike Pence talked with the country's leader, pleading with them to decrease the mass migration issues.
According to reports, over 60% of households in the country live in poverty, which is why they have such a migration issue. People are fleeing the high crime rates and poor economy en masse.
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez previously told VP Pence attempted to use this, it seems, as a way to getting more money out of the United States, because the requested funds from the Trump administration have been "below allocations" from previous years.
SHARE if you want this mass migration to stop!
SHARE if you think these countries should answer for it themselves, especially if it means cutting off their funds from U.S. taxpayers.


The Committee considered 13 specific submissions, general issues of implementation and compliance, and its draft 2016-2017 work programme. With respect to the specific submissions, 9 Parties attended the meeting and the Committee adopted 13 decisions.In its decision pertaining to the self-submission by Central African Republic, the Committee approved this Party's compliance action plan and recommended that the Executive Secretary use resources in the implementation fund of up to USD 50'000.- to fund activities listed in the plan. The Committee also considered a report on the review of the operation of the implementation fund, including in light of the establishment of the UNEP Special Programme, and recommended that it be entrusted to develop recommendations to the attention of the Executive Board of the Special Programme on priority areas for institutional strengthening under the Basel Convention and that it consider further options to cooperate with the Special Programme.

Designing a home is never easy – every aspect of it requires special care and dedication. Take flooring for instance. The aim of a smooth and sturdy floor should be to stay intact for a very long time. Hence, the selection process is as tedious as they come, especially, with the market introducing a multitude of new options every now and then. But it's always best to go with your instincts and expert advices rather than following trends. Here are a few flooring trends that are currently popular for their style and function.
One would imagine, tiles have taken a back seat after the arrival of the variety of new flooring materials in the market, but that's not the case. Tiles are catching up with the trend and bringing out new designs and textures every year. Popular among them are wood-effect look tiles, large-format thin tiles, hexagon tiles, terracotta tiles and Herringbone tile pattern. Wood-effect tiles are predicted as the next big thing in the flooring world. These are glazed vitrified tiles developed with the latest technology. Terracotta is no different. Many tile experts predict that it'll rule the tile world in the coming days.
No, we are not talking about tree houses. Bamboo floors have taken the home circuit by storm decades ago with their unique textural quality and style. Latest products from the genre promise eclectic colours and durability. Strand-woven bamboo, made with inner fibres, is twice as strong as other bamboo floorings and hence, the current favourite of home buyers and builders. Thin banded styles have been replaced with wide-plank styles which look exactly like hardwood flooring. But it's best to keep bamboo away from moisture prone areas such as kitchen and bathroom.
A visit to some of biggest architectural wonders in the world would tell you that marble has been around for centuries. In India, aside from tiles and granite, marble is the most popular material used for flooring. Antique marble designed like distressed wood is high in demand for its peculiar appearance and stability. It will go well with a classic design as well as a modern day home, if styled with care. People with minimalistic tastes pick marble for its finesse and simple designs.
The newcomer in the vinyl department, which easily became the builders' favourite, is luxury vinyl tile (LVT). It is as long lasting as vinyl and gives out the look of a fine hardwood floor. Unlike wood, it fights moisture and can be used everywhere including bathroom and kitchen. LVT also comes in different designs and patterns, other than wood. It even offers customisation options. It's pocket-friendly as well as extremely effective as far as durable floorings are concerned.


Okay, maybe it's been a long time since you folks were newlyweds. That'll be the story I stick with this morning.
Okay -- here we are at the pit area, and the first run of the day has yet to happen. It'll be the Ack Attack bike, but no word on just how soon. Course workers are in place -- but we aren't "lacked down" yet, so it'll be a little while.
Do some work in advance so your boss thinks that you've put in a full day today.
taps foot, taps foot . . . .
Okay, for all y'all who need something to try and get your head around this early in the morning try this on for some mental gymnastics. Besides it may look like actual work if you need to "hide".
This is an explanation of what these guys/gals are doing out upon the Great White Dyno. It just doesn't match up very well with SCTA/BNI/ECTA/DLRA.
Ack Attack bike canopy is down. we're locked down -- first run of the morning is soon to commence.
Bike is being pushed off.
Run is under way. Rocky is being complimented by Mike Cook: "He gets that bike up and on the center wheels in a hurry!"
Bike is coming in towards us. Cooool! One official reports a timing sensor is down -- may have been knocked over by his wake, might have "tagged" it.
He just putt-putted past us into the pits.
I'll let you know what's next.
Cris Shearer reports he's in the pit, his crew is with him, everything looks okay.
Hey -- As long as I've got your attention, Richard and Judy White -- the couple that's helping Carl put the Lovelock event together -- will be attending the Nellis AFB S hootout this weekend and will post some results on the event. Nancy and I will be on the road heading home -- so Richard will give you something to keep your appetites sated.
This is how I've spent my morning.
Tuned into the thead to see what's happening. Never mind it's 5:00 am CST.
Read everything you'all said last night.
Made FIRST pot a' coffee.
Still dark outside. Went out to garage. Opened garage door. Opened salt trailer door. Went back in to garage. Sat down. Stared at streamliner in trailer. Drank coffee. Stared some more.
Back in house 5:35 am. Checked if Jon's posted yet on the runs. No.
Back to garage. More coffee. More staring.
Back to house. Checked again. No runs yet. 6:30 am.
Beginning to get grumpy. "What's Jon doing? Why doesn't someone make a run? Dark?"
10:00 am. CST. Second pot 'a coffee. Tired of staring at the streamliner.
Came back in and here I am posting. Haven't even brushed my teeth yet.
Wish I could be there with you fast guys.
Best to all and be safe.
Are Ack or Sam on the salt?
what a great week this is, first the week long of racing at bonneville and then off to Gas Up on Sat. Does it get much better? Thanks Jon.

Just a month after his reticent return to Geneva, John Calvin's ecclesiastical ordinances were adopted by the city government. Included in the document was Calvin's four church offices—pastor, teacher, elder, and deacon. Calvin and the pastors would at times experience a difficult relationship with the councils as the ordinances and other aspects of the church were applied. The government wanted to retain control over the church and its practices, but Calvin believed the particularly Pauline principle that the state's ministry was to punish evil doers and protect its citizens, while the church's ministry was to preach the gospel and administer spiritual discipline. Needless to say, Calvin and his company of pastors sometimes found themselves differing with the Geneva government regarding its authority.
In April 1549, Pastor Calvin suffered an immeasurable loss. His wife of less than a decade, Idelette, died from an extended illness. Calvin was a man who rarely expressed himself about his personal life, but he confided to mentor and friend Pierre Viret regarding the great loss caused by her passing.
Although the death of my wife has been exceedingly painful to me, I subdue my grief as well as I can.… I have been bereaved of the best companion of my life, of one who shared my poverty, but also, if it had been so ordered, would have joined me in death. During her life she was the faithful helper of my ministry. From her I never experienced the slightest hindrance. She was never a burden to me throughout the entire course of her illness.
And to his mentor and friend Guillaume Farel, Calvin also expressed his sorrow.
Intelligence of my wife's death has perhaps reached you before now. I do what I can to keep myself from being overwhelmed with grief. My friends also leave nothing undone that may administer relief to my mental suffering.… I at present control my sorrow so that my duties may not be interfered with.
A true expression of love and loss by a man who is sometimes described by social historians as a callous and doctrinaire tyrant. Earlier in their marriage, Idelette had given birth to a child named Jacques who died a few days later. Calvin did not remarry.
John Calvin died in 1564 at the age of fifty-four. Theodore Beza, his good friend and biographer, notes that Calvin stipulated he was to be buried in an unmarked grave because he feared his burial site might become an idol. Calvin's ministry in Geneva was not an easy one because he suffered persecution and insults from some citizens. In his letters he comments that someone had left what appeared to be bodily fluid on the door handle of his home during a time of plague intending to cause his death. Some unhappy residents of Geneva chose to name their dogs, cows, or other animals "Calvin" as insults. Then there were problems during worship. One man took his hunting firearm and dog to church so he could quickly stalk his prey after the service. During a Lord's Supper service one mentally disturbed woman barked like a dog. A woman used a stool as a weapon to severely injure another woman during an argument over seating, and one woman insisted on sitting near a particular man because she believed that God had told her she would marry him. It was not uncommon for congregants to snore loudly, hold conversations, or pass around food during services. Maybe preachers today should be grateful for their attentive, or at least apparently attentive, flocks during the delivery of their sermons.
John Calvin's legacy is immense. Much of his teaching became the cornerstone of Reformed theology. Even the United States can trace the organization of its national government to Calvin's concern for separating church and state. He wrote commentaries on the Bible for much of the New Testament and a considerable portion of the Old. Many of his letters have been published. His Institutes of the Christian Religion came out in several editions from 1536 to 1560 in either Latin or French and it was first translated into English in 1561. Calvin did not personally publish his sermons, but they were copied by a stenographer as delivered and then compiled for posterity. Some sermons are available in English.
On a personal note, whenever I read anything by Calvin, I find myself nodding my head in affirmation as I read a particularly helpful comment. The breadth and depth of his knowledge included not only theology, ecclesiology, Bible, and ministry, but also science, politics, world affairs, law, and just about any subject that could be studied in the day. If the effort is made, the reward from reading Calvin can be considerable. God in his providence has often provided leadership for his church via sprinkling gifted and prolific individuals throughout history who produced written wisdom for successive generations, one of those individuals was John Calvin.

Q: New/delete[] and VirtualAlloc #include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    unsigned char* pFoo = new unsigned char[1000];

    pFoo = (unsigned char*)VirtualAlloc(NULL, 1000, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);

    VirtualFree(pFoo, 0, MEM_RELEASE);

    delete[] pFoo;

    cin.ignore();
    cin.get();

    return 0;
}

This crashes for me at
delete[] pFoo;

I know this is crashing because of VirtualAlloc but I'm not sure how to fix this...

A: You're using the same variable. So your first allocation gets leaked.
After you free it with VirtualFree, the pointer is invalid. So delete on it is undefined.
Furthermore:
You can't mix VirtualAlloc and delete for the same reason you can't mix malloc with delete.

A: unsigned char* pFoo = new unsigned char[1000];

Now pFoo holds a pointer to dynamic memory.
pFoo = (unsigned char*)VirtualAlloc(NULL, 1000, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);

This overwrites the old pointer, the 1000 char array is leaked.
Try:
unsigned char* pFoo = new unsigned char[1000];
unsigned char* pBar = (unsigned char*)VirtualAlloc(NULL, 1000, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
VirtualFree(pBar, 0, MEM_RELEASE);
delete[] pFoo;

A: Either use new/delete or VirtualAlloc/VirtualFree. You are allocating two separate memory blocks, using pFoo to refer to both (when of course it can only refer to one at a time) and then calling the two free functions with pFoo. One of those is going to fail :)

Q: PHP cannot extract JSON from HTTP POST I have an API endpoint which receives this information:
{
  "method": "POST",
  "path": "/",
  "query": {},
  "headers": {
    "x-forwarded-for": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx",
    "x-forwarded-proto": "https",
    "x-forwarded-port": "443",
    "host": "xxx",
    "x-amzn-trace-id": "xxx",
    "content-length": "128",
    "accept": "text/plain, application/json, application/*+json, */*",
    "user-agent": "xxx",
    "content-type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8",
    "accept-encoding": "gzip,deflate"
  },
  "bodyRaw": "{\"registrations\":[{\"userId\":\"xxx\",\"userAccessToken\":\"550a3a10-a3be-4784-89e2-42e7c8865883\"}]}",
  "body": {
    "registrations": [
      {
        "userId": "xxx",
        "userAccessToken": "550a3a10-a3be-4784-89e2-42e7c8865883"
      }
    ]
  }
}

I cannot extract the two parameters. I use this code in PHP:
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'),true);
$userID = $data['registrations']['userId'];
$userToken = $data['registrations']['userAccessToken'];

I then write the two variables $userID and $userToken to database; however, both variables are empty
What am I missing?

A: You are missing some keys in your variables. Also I would recommend adding exception handlers in case php://input throws errors. You can try this:
try {
    $data = json_decode( file_get_contents( 'php://input' ), TRUE, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR );
} catch ( JsonException $e ) {
    var_dump($e->getMessage());
}
$userID = $data['body']['registrations'][0]['userId'];
$userToken = $data['body']['registrations'][0]['userAccessToken'];

A: Here's the solution.
try {
    $data = json_decode( file_get_contents( 'php://input' ), TRUE, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR );
} catch ( JsonException $e ) {
    var_dump($e->getMessage());
}
$userID = $data['registrations'][0]['userId'];
$userToken = $data['registrations'][0]['userAccessToken'];

I guess because 'php://input' already returns the request body.
Thanks for your comments and help

Don't Be Afraid of the Keystone XL Pipeline
The Canadian pipeline won't mean "the end of safe drinking water."
Ronald Bailey | 10.25.2011 5:00 PM
Jobs producing bonanza or planet killing behemoth? That's how the political debate over the construction of the 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico is being framed. The Keystone pipeline would be used to transport about 500,000 barrels of oil daily derived from Canadian oil sands to refineries on the Gulf coast. Canada is already the largest source of "foreign" oil, providing the U.S. with about 2 million barrels per day.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce claims [PDF] that building the pipeline will eventually result in the creation of 250,000 jobs and boost investment in the U.S. by $20 billion. Environmentalists assert that the pipeline is, in the words of global warming activist Bill McKibben, "a 1,700-mile fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the continent" and that tapping the oil sands would mean "essentially game over" for the climate. Carbon bomb? McKibben is rhetorically highlighting the fact that the 170 billion barrels of petroleum locked in Canadian oil sands is second only to Saudi Arabia's 260 billion barrel reserve. Since the pipeline crosses the border, President Barack Obama must decide whether or not to approve the pipeline, placing him directly on the horns of an election dilemma—which constituency to alienate: unemployed workers or environmental activists?
The largest concern of environmental activists is the climate change implications of burning petroleum products derived from Canadian oil sands. However, an October 10 Washington Post editorial, "Keystone XL pipeline is the wrong target for protesters," points out that if Americans won't allow the pipeline to be built and buy Canadian oil, then the Chinese and other countries surely will buy it. Two other pipeline companies are in the preliminary stages of developing more pipeline capacity to Canada's west coast where tankers can load and carry the oil to global markets. Shipping by tanker boosts the emissions of carbon dioxide that contribute to the global warming that the protesters are so worried about.
If fears of global warming are not enough to stop the pipeline, activists cite other concerns, most prominently that pipeline leaks would contaminate the Ogallala aquifer that underlays the Great Plains. The Ogallala aquifer contains about the same amount of water as Lake Huron and stretches over 174,000 square miles in eight states. The pipeline would cross through Nebraska, which accounts for about two-thirds of the volume of Ogallala groundwater.
Left-leaning radio talk show host Thom Hartmann recently claimed, "If this pipeline was to be either blown up by people with nefarious intent or just good old fashion broke and nobody noticed it for a while and that oil got into that Aquifer, that's the end of safe drinking water and agricultural water for 20 million people." Some locals also worry about pipeline leaks. "A leak in the Keystone pipeline could conceivably contaminate the entire Ogallala Aquifer, in turn, disrupting the agricultural economy of Nebraska," said David Hutchinson, a Nebraska organic rancher as reported by Reuters. Sounds pretty dire.
University of Nebraska hydrologist Jim Goeke recently pointed out in an op-ed that the pipeline route is over the eastern part of the aquifer. The Ogallala aquifer slopes downward from west to east such that water in the aquifer flows downhill from west to east (at 150 to 300 feet per year). Unless water begins to flow uphill, the eastern route of the pipeline means that up to 80 percent of aquifer is safe from any oil spill contamination from the pipeline.
Goeke notes, in addition, that an aquifer is not like a lake or other open body of water; it is contained in a jumble of different kinds of rock, sands, and soils. "The variability of the aquifer's rock layers means that any spill would be contained within a very small area of that 25 percent of the aquifer to the east of the pipeline," claims Goeke. Why? Because of some rock and soil layers are relatively impermeable to oil and would block the flow of oil below the surface. Goeke bases this conclusion on a 25-year study by the U.S. Geological Survey of a pipeline oil spill near Bemidji, Minnesota.
In 1979, an oil pipeline burst near Bemidji, spewing about 10,700 barrels of oil across about two acres of land. Most of the oil was recovered, but some 2,500 barrels percolated into ground reaching the shallow water table. In 1983, the U.S. Geological Survey set up the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site at Bemidji to study the evolution of oil spills in the environment.
The U.S. State Department's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issued [PDF] in August for the Keystone XL pipeline project cited the ongoing Bemidji oil spill study noting, "While the conditions at Bemidji are not fully analogous to the Sand Hills region [of Nebraska through which the pipeline would pass], extensive studies of the Bemidji spill suggest that impacts to shallow groundwater from a spill of a similar volume in the Sand Hills region would affect a limited area of the aquifer around the spill site." The EIS further observed, "In no spill incident scenario would the entire Northern High Plains Aquifer system be adversely affected."
Natural processes including biodegradation in which native microbes convert the petroleum into carbon dioxide, methane, and other products are attenuating the spilled oil underground. Since 1979, the oil itself has flowed 160 feet downgrade from the spill site while dissolved hydrocarbons have moved about 660 feet. As a result of these natural processes, the Bemidji spill has apparently reached equilibrium [PDF] and has stabilized. Based on the research from the Bemidji site, U.S. Geological Survey researcher Geoffrey Delin told InsideClimateNews that he thinks any dissolved hydrocarbons from a Keystone XL pipeline break that percolates into groundwater would probably remain within 1,000 feet of the spill point.
In order to allay spill fears, the operators of the Keystone XL pipeline have now offered to encase the pipeline in a concrete jacket where it crosses shallow aquifers and to put up a $100 million performance bond to cover any clean up costs. No industrial process is without risk and spills will happen. Make no mistake: Oil spills are nasty. But what amounts to scaremongering that a leak in the Keystone XL pipeline would "end safe drinking water" in Nebraska and "contaminate the entire" Ogallala aquifer sadly traduces science in an attempt to pursue environmentalist politics by other means.

Despite decades-old rumors that Kasich may be self-medicating, the Governor vowed that there will be no medical marijuana legislation passed in Ohio this election year!
You may have missed it, but Democratic candidate for governor Ed Fitzgerald has taken the courageous stance of coming out in favor of medical marijuana. Well, it might not have been that brave. With 87% of voters in the Buckeye State in a recent poll supporting perhaps the world's oldest medicine. And since he's trailing incumbent Republican Governor John Kasich by 30% – why not go where the people are?
– The other gubernatorial candidate on the ballot this fall is Anita Rios of the Ohio Green Party. The Green Party has long been in support of the full legalization of marijuana and industrial hemp.
This sets up a wide spectrum of options for voters this year: Kasich's Reagan-style "war on drugs," specifically marijuana; Fitzgerald's moderate endorsement of medical marijuana now that he's not really campaigning; and Rios' and the Green's enthusiastic support for Washington/Colorado-style full legalization of marijuana and hemp.
The tragedy of Fitzgerald's position is that he was very likely forced to sample marijuana after the headaches ensued from his severely bungled gubernatorial run. Still, he is to be commended for joining the 87% of the state who already understood the need for marijuana as medicine.
Kasich, the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch remain entrenched with the 13% still committed to fighting the demon weed. Although if the past provides any insight, it is likely that Kasich's, the Kochs and Murdoch – like Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle and Newt Gingrich – have all self-medicated at some point in time.

Q: How to handle unique username in php form I have a register form that goes through the following steps:

*

*Fill in user information (name,adress,etc.) and username

*If user presses the submit button, it is checked if username is already in the database or not

*If username is already in use, he must rename username, if not, it is shown what he has entered (name,adress etc.).

*He has to confirm the website rules and that his input data is correct. If he presses the confirm button, a row with his details and username will be inserted in the database.

I do not want to insert the row in the database after step 2., because I dont want rows from users in my database that did not confirm the rules. Also I want to keep step 3., so the user can make sure that his data is correct. Unfortunately, at the moment the code cant prevent the unlikely case that two user register at the same time with the same username. How does one prevent this case in general? I know there are a lots of php forms out there who proceed with these 4 steps.
EDIT: Sorry, that I didn't make it clear enough: I am not concerned about double entries in my database, this can be prevented by setting the username field unique. I want to know how can I check in step 2. that the username is not used in the database AND not used by any other user who is currently using the registration form.

A: Data integrity in a database should be ensured by the database, not by the interface.
This means that if you want UNIQUE usernames you should use the built in UNIQUE index in the database.
That way it is impossible to have two users with the same name, even if they registered at the same time.
UPDATE:
Based on your last edit I would could create a temporary table where you would insert the username in Step 2, supposing it doesn't exist in your users table. That way a user can "lock" a username until they complete registration in Step 4.
Once they reach Step 4 you move the data from the temporary table to the users table.

A: so here is what you can do but make sure what @chevi said .. alter your table and add unique attribute that username column... that all at backend..
now comes front end
..in the form  when user has chosen/entered username you can make a ajax call which checks user entered username in your DB and returns TRUE Or FALSE accordingly you can then n there notify user that hey this user name is already taken  also you can restrict user to submit that form

Civil Servants' Strike
Category: Articles and papers
Created: 21 August 2010
The South African civil servant's strike for better wages and living conditions has affected essential service provision. Schools in the townships are closed and there is a break down of services in government hospitals. Striking civil servants are seen to intimidate those who will not strike and to prevent access to schools and hospitals while schoolchildren wander around in frustration and patients are neglected. And there are some dire consequences: deaths of a few critically ill patients and threatened violence at schools and hospitals. But the suffering of parents, pupils and patients is regarded as collateral damage.
And because the suffering of pupils and patients is obvious, the striking civil servants are seen as morally irresponsible and heartless. But teachers and nurses do not embark on strikes lightly; they are aware of the essential nature of their services and their moral obligations. They undertake strikes only when personal circumstances become intolerable. And one has to acknowledge that teachers and nurses are traditionally the lowest paid of professionals because they are government employees. As they are not independent professionals and are dependent on the state, it is easy to take them for granted and subject them to subtle forms of exploitation.
Their welfare is in the hands of bureaucrats who operate in a perfunctory manner and treat them as ciphers in the system. Teachers and nurses, because they are a mass of workers, are regulated and controlled like those in a factory even though they are called professionals. They are civil servants and as servants unquestioning loyalty is demanded of them. How then do they protect themselves from exploitation? Like other workers, their vulnerability stems from dependency on employers and the only recourse open to them is to embark on strikes. With other workers, striking is purely a matter of economics but teachers' and nurses' strikes affect other vulnerable people, pupils and patients mainly from the poor sector and takes on a moral consideration; So when teachers and nurses strike, it is considered morally reprehensible. But what other choice do they have against unfair employment practices?
All strikes, whether of civil servants or other workers, affect society negatively. And it is usually the poor and vulnerable who suffer most. That is unavoidable. What is avoidable is the strike itself. So why do workers embark on strikes? They do so when they perceive that they are being exploited. The way to avoid strikes is for employers and employees to come to equitable arrangements that do not simply cater for needs of the moment but take into account changing circumstances and make provision for a lifetime of service. Workers must feel confident that with each year of service, their circumstances are improving, not falling back, and a decent life is within their reach. Living in the moment (a present day cliché) is not good enough. Employers and employees must look to the future and make provision for continuous growth and development not only of the enterprise and its managers but also of those employed in it, the workers who keep it running.
There have been strikes of nurses, doctors and teachers before but compared to this strike they were merely demonstrations. This strike has an earnestness that cannot be ignored. What has exacerbated the situation is the corruption that is perceived in government. Where those who came into power on the strength of the Freedom Charter are seen to be abusing power for their own personal advantage, workers who remain in states of poverty are outraged and forced into taking desperate measures.

Home Smartphones O+ O+ Evo 4G Review
O+
O+ Evo 4G Review
O+ USA has been very busy lately, releasing not less than three new smartphones powered by the Android operating system in the past couple of months. In this review, we're going to take a look at one of their latest models, the O+ Evo 4G.
The Evo 4G is the local company's first — and so far the only — phone with LTE connectivity. What else is it good for apart from speedy mobile data? Read on to find out.
The Evo 4G doesn't deviate much from the typical Android phone design. Its front bears a striking resemblance to the iconic HTC One, while its back shows a smooth, slightly glossy plastic cover that contains nothing apart from the O+ USA insignia, rear camera with flash, and built-in speaker grill.
The left side of the phone is empty, but the right side is where you'll find the only set of hardware buttons. These are the volume up and down buttons and the combined lock switch and power button. These three are complimented by a row of touch-sensitive capacitive menu keys lined up right below the screen, on the bottom of the phone.
Frankly, the O+ Evo 4G's design is nothing to write home about. It's unremarkable, almost boring. But we can see the appeal of such a simple outward appearance. It gets out of the way, so to speak, and lets you get down to business right away as far as using the phone to the extent that its features will allow you to is concerned.
Display quality
And what features are these? Well, for one thing, the Evo 4G boasts a 5-inch HD IPS touchscreen display. This is the part that you'll likely spend the most time on, so it's a good thing that it sits behind a layer of scratch-resistant glass for protection. We've seen better panels on more expensive models, for sure, but the one on the Evo 4G didn't give us any problems.
We also enjoyed the fact that the display is aided by a built-in ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen. It worked exactly as it was intended to, and the colors of the screen itself were mostly accurate. The display also offers 5-point multi-touch support, which was useful for us since we're quick-fingered touch typists who enjoy partaking in tap-heavy mobile games every once in a while.
Camera and speaker performance
The Evo 4G has a total of two cameras, as one might expect from a modern Android smartphone. The one on the front, which uses a 2-megapixel sensor, performs well only when there's plenty of available lighting. Otherwise, it fails to capture any decent-looking photos.
Meanwhile, the one on the back with an 8-megapixel auto-focus sensor, can take much better photos. But it still won't be enough to replace any decent digital camera. The rear camera also has an accompanying LED flash, though it's only useful for taking pictures of subjects that are about 2-3 feet away at the farthest.
O+ Evo 4G Sample photo
As mentioned earlier, the only other thing found on the back of the Evo 4G aside from the rear camera is the built-in speaker. It's nothing out of the ordinary in terms of loudness and sound quality, so if you have used any entry-level to mid-range smartphone in the past 12 months, then you should know what to expect. There's also a 3.5mm headphone port for use with headphones, and if you have a pair of wireless cans, you can just resort to using those too if you want to watch movies or listen to music.
Built for the future
But before you think of the Evo 4G as just another Android phone that has absolutely no unique characteristics, remember that it's 4G-enabled. And not only that, it also comes equipped with a 64-bit CPU, and runs on the once-experimental Linux kernel version 3.10. In short, the Evo 4G is one of the few true phones on the market that we can somewhat unironically refer to as "future proof." And the evidence for it can be gleamed simply by looking at the spec sheet.
In actual use, it didn't seem all that different. The default OS on the Evo 4G is Android 4.4 KitKat, and it has a custom-made, nearly bloatware-free skin running on top of it. It's nothing new, of course, especially if you've seen other 5-inch HD KitKat phones before. But there's no discounting the fact that its built-in 4G LTE connectivity makes the Evo 4G a more complete option compared with similarly-priced alternatives.
Consider the fact that the Evo 4G has 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, dual-SIM support, and a 2,500mAh battery. Its 64-bit CPU, which is a quad-core chip, definitely shouldn't have any problems running the OS and the apps smoothly for about 2-3 days of moderate to heavy use. That was exactly our experience, actually. Even with 4G data turned on periodically, we still had no trouble using the phone up to at least one full day on a single charge.
Avid gamers will also be delighted to learn that the Evo 4G has support for USB OTG accessories. Things like gamepads, any USB mouse, USB headsets, flash drives, and even keyboards should work whether you connect them through micro USB or through a full-size USB port with an OTG adapter.
And like all O+ phones, the Evo 4G has all the usual O+ software enhancements, like Air Shuffle, Air Share, Flip to Silent, and Peace to Selfie. Add to these the O+ assistive touch menu options for easy access to things like the Music player, File manager, Camera, Calculator, and other essential phone features, and you've got a recipe for a phone that will allow you to quickly do what you want, when you want, as long as the battery lasts. That's a recipe for an easily dependable smartphone if we've ever seen one.
The O+ Evo 4G might look ordinary, but don't let that fool you. Its design and features are practical, and its innards reliable and future-ready. At only 8k, it's also one of the most affordable LTE-enabled handsets available on the local market. True, there are many models out there that could offer a lot of the same features for less, but this one has a complete Android phone package and a bit more, with an eye on the future.

'Magical' pink dolphins rescued in Bolivia in push to boost species
Published: 6:59 PM, Oct 18, 2022
Rescuers using boats and drones worked for three days last week in a lush stretch of Bolivia's Amazon rainforest to find a pair of trapped pink river dolphins, a species endangered by steady encroachment along the waterways the colourful mammals call home.
The two dolphins were found languishing in still water ponds cut off from the Bolivian Amazon's Rio Grande after they swam inland and the main channel dropped, according to Claudia Venegas, a biologist with a rescue program.
She explained that many pink dolphins lose access to the river because of their reproductive instincts.
"When the females go to give birth they seek out quieter places and so they leave the river in search of calmer backwaters," said Venegas, noting that other females will often join to help raise the infant calves and teach them to fish.
Over the past dozen years, nearly 60 trapped pink river dolphins, scientifically known as Inia boliviensis, have been rescued, she added.
The dolphins' rosy complexion is due to blood vessels close to their skin, though some specimens are blue or even white.
While scientists have documented just a handful of fresh-water dolphin species, the pink river dolphins are the largest, growing up to nine feet long (2.7 metres) and weighing some 300 pounds (136 kg).
Believed to be semi-divine creatures by some indigenous groups, they use echolocation to navigate often murky waterways. But their populations have fallen sharply along with deforestation, according to researchers.
Sharon Deem, another member of the rescue programme, said that efforts to conserve the species point to even larger ecological goals.
"That's really one of the beauties of this project right now," she said, stressing that efforts to study and protect "this magical creature" can boost environmental sustainability for all species, including humans. — Reuters

Impact of Benefit Sharing Arrangements on Sustainable Management of Public Forests: a Case Study of Karura Forest in Kenya
Keige, Esther, W
Forests support livelihoods of an estimated 1.6 billion people globally. Besides, forests provide a multiple of direct and indirect benefits to human beings. In Kenya, benefits from forests such as provision of building materials, fuel wood and employment account for approximately 3.6% of the gross domestic product. It is from this understanding that sustainable forest management becomes a critical concern for both research and policy making. Evidence of the challenges facing the application of sustainability concept is the fact that the global forest cover in square kilometers was reported to have declined from 31.6% to 30.6% between 1990 and 2015. The decline occurred despite the adoption of the Forest Principles at the UN- Conference of Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. One of the mechanisms aiding the operationalization of existing forest policies, laws and institutions is the concept of Benefit Sharing. Literature shows that benefit sharing mechanism has also performed dismally due to lack of clear definition of benefits to be shared and the distribution of power in decision making over the forestry resources. The study thus aimed at investigating the benefit sharing mechanism at Karura public forest within the forest regulatory framework in Kenya. Study data was obtained from primary and secondary sources. Primary sources were from survey with the forest neighbouring community members, focus group discussions with the Friends of Karura Forest (FKF), Kenya Forest Service (KFS), Forest Users and key informants from key stakeholders of the Karura forests. Secondary data emanated from literature review, especially policies, guidelines, laws and institutions for public forests as formulated and legislated by the government of Kenya. Qualitative data analysis from the community respondents was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, while quantitative data from secondary sources was analysed using Microsoft Excel. Content analysis was used to analyze data from the focus group discussions and key informants. Results show that 42% of the community members acknowledge benefits that Karura forest provided in the area, especially employment and fuel wood that accounted for about 68% of the total benefits. However, a majority of the community members reported biased process of sharing benefits with the community members. About 70% of the community did not explicitly know the basis of membership to- and the role of FKF as a community forest association. An estimated 88% of the community members had never participated in drafting any of the existing forest management policies and laws, and about 80% reported a 'poor performance' of the current Karura forest management. The study revealed that the modalities for benefit sharing were not specific. The study showed low transparency of information sharing and change of the form of benefits shared between FKF and the community. It was observed that with the increasing number of visitors in the forest against an almost static size of labour force, the quality of service was expected to decline over time. Although the increase in visitors' number increased revenue, there were concerns about the visitor carrying capacity of the forest. A majority of key players supported the co-management of public forests, but they suggested an evaluation of the relationships and roles of partners after ten years of implementation. From the results, the study concluded that active community participation, clear definition of benefits, transparency in sharing defined benefits, balanced power relations and streamlining co-management activities in the existing regulatory framework were key to realizing sustainable management for Karura forest.


Non-performing loans in the Nigerian banking industry rose to N2.245trillion at the end of the third quarter of 2018, reports from the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, has shown.
Also in the period under review, the country's gross loans stood at N15.861trillion, while loans (after specific provisions) stood at N13.332trillion.
According the statistic office, as of the end of June, non-performing loans stood at N1.939trillion while gross loans and loans (after specific provisions) were N15.50trillion and N13.587trillion respectively.
Meanwhile, total investment inflows into the Nigerian economy declined by $2.66billion, between the second and third quarter of this year.
The bureau in its capital importation report for the third quarter of 2018, states that total amount of investment in the third quarter dropped to $2.85billion. This represents a 48.21percent decline from the $5.51billion which the economy attracted during the second quarter of this year.
The investment figure when compared to the quarter period of 2017, represents a decline of 31.12 per cent.
Overall, the economy attracted about $14.66billion between the first nine months of this year.
A breakdown of the amount showed that the sum of $6.3billion was attracted in the first quarter while the second and third quarters each attracted $5.51billion and $2.85billion respectively.
NBS said the largest amount of capital importation by type was received through portfolio investment, which accounted for $1.73bn or 60.5 percent of total investment inflows.
This was followed by "other investment", which accounted for $601.53million or 21.07percent of total investments. It said foreign direct investment followed as it accounted for $530.63million or 18.58 percent of total capital imported in the third quarter.
In terms of country of destination, the NBS report stated that the United States emerged as the top source of capital investment in Nigeria in the third quarter of 2018 with $911.33million, representing 31.91 percent of the total capital inflow in that quarter.


In the practice of searching for mind, sometimes the practice may go stale or we might begin to have doubts about the practice. This is natural and puts no fault on the practitioner.
On the other hand, there comes a point in time when advanced practitioners start to think they've got it. When this very moment happens and we think we've got it, we are actually off. When we think that we understand things or we feel that we know what mind is, we are off by a thousand miles. No matter what is said about mind, we can not know what mind is even though we use mind everyday. The idea of knowing mind is different than the idea of the awareness of mind. In the knowing of mind, we have these ideas of concepts learned in Dharma training. We begin to recognize these concepts and we create a construct of the mind based on these concepts. By doing that, we cling to these constructs. This is a form of attachment. The practice is not this way. Let the mind be because it is not something we can hold on to. Simply aware of it and functioning in the present moment is enough.
When we think we've got it, we then stop the search and the investigation of mind. The investigation is the most important aspect of the practice; constantly investigating what mind is and the causes and conditions arising in mind is what Chan is all about. When the search for mind is on, mind is quiet and still. This calmness of mind is the nature of Chan. This quiet and stillness will eventually develop into an awareness which in time, this awareness becomes transparent and the practice no longer needs to look into mind. Little by little, there comes a natural process to slowly drop that notion of the personality looking into mind.
Do not try to strip these notions of personality or ego. Personality is a vexation and personality during the method will be present. We cannot totally remove it but realizing that vexations are there because of causes and conditions is enough. Have an honest evaluation of the progress and take each presented opportunity to transform vexations into practice. Do not try to root the ego out of mind; instead, investigate how mind works.
In meditation, we first relax the body. The body just sits there on the cushion/chair and that is the only function of the body at that moment. Relaxation of mind however is not so easy. Habit energy is so strong that our mind tends to race outside what is going on in the present moment. Tension in the mind is created when we cling to things. The more we cling, the more tension it creates. A good memory is then necessary in order for us to realize when mind is not in the method. When we are off the method, simply return to it; and this is enough.

What do caregivers say about A Caring Place?
I want to express our thanks for the kindness you and the staff at A Caring Place demonstrated when caring for our mom. We really felt comfortable when leaving her there and we can't thank you enough. M.M.
How very much I appreciated the love and care you gave my husband at A Caring Place. It added so much to our lives! You brought about such a change in him-how much he looked forward to each day. B.H.
Thank you for the TLC and all the wonderful experiences my mom had at "The Place" as she called it. Though her memory is impaired, it's amazing how much she fondly recalls A Caring Place. God Bless You All. J.J.
I'd like some more information. Who do I call?


App for Aquarena Education now available free.
The "Aquarena" App was developed for use in outdoor water education at Aquarena Springs, at the headwaters of the San Marcos River, San Marcos, Texas. It was primarily designed for use on the iPad, but will also work on the iPhone. The new app is geared toward K-12th grade students and includes a species identification guide to the common fish, birds, plants and animals that inhabit the springs, wetlands, and adjacent watershed. The app will be available for download by visitors to Aquarena Springs, operated by the River Systems Institute, Texas State University. Organized groups may be provided iPads for educational purposes.
Researchers at Texas State's Meadows Center for Water and the Environment are using new technology-enhanced ways to connect students with water.
The new App and other technology enhancements are being designed specifically to allow for instruction and research in outdoor education in the unique environment of the San Marcos springs, which includes an entire watershed immediately adjacent to the springs, a wetlands education area, a lake, and a headwaters river.
The 'Scan' module enables the 'Aquarena' app to read a 'QR-Code' (Quick Response Code). These codes could be setup to show videos, display images or play sound clips.
The 'documents' module of the app will list the available documents found on the server (online only), or list the available documents within the application itself (offline only).
The 'videos' module of the app will list the available videos found on the server (online only), or list the available videos within the application itself (offline only).
The 'photos' module of the app will list the available photos found on the server (online only), or list the available photos within the application itself (offline only).
The 'links' module of the app will list the available links found on the server (online only).
The 'info' module shows information regarding 'Aquarena' and the application, as well as the credits for the development of the application. You can also contact (email) Aquarena from this module.
The 'Scavenger Hunt' module offers a fun and unique method of allowing the user of the app to locate and take pictures of various points of interest along the Aquarena trail. A photo journal is kept so that the student can review their tour when they return back to the River Center.
By making a file change on the server, access to certain app modules can be temporarily 'locked/unlocked' at will, enforcing remote control of app functionality!

Q: Error running forever.js on Windows - "'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" I am trying to run forever.js via the Windows command prompt and I get the following output:
>npm i -g forever
/my-project>forever start index.js
Log output:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I think it's something to do with the PATH that forever is using for the node binary, but I don't know how to fix it...
EDIT: Forever is using the following command (which is surrounded by quotes " "):
"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe"

A: If you type dir /x in the root of c:, you can see the short name of the directory.
So, try the following instead:
C:\PROGRA~1\nodejs\node.exe

A: installing forever version 1.0.0  solved the problem for me

A: i have the same problem with forever 2.0.0.
I use a workaround in "forever.js":  (I start my app by "node forever.js" )
const configChild = {
    //
    // Basic configuration options
    //
    silent: true,    // Silences the output from stdout and stderr in the parent process
    'killTree': true, // Kills the entire child process tree on `exit`
    ....
}

// =======================================================
// **Workaround for Windows**
// =======================================================
if (process.platform === 'win32' && process.execPath == "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe") {
    configChild.command = '"C:\\PROGRA~1\\nodejs\\node.exe"';
}

const child = new (forever.Monitor)('app.js', configChild);

....

child.start();

The Queen City is full of great museums, so it only makes sense that it's also home to the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati. Like its sister hotel in Louisville, the 21c in Cincy is both an outstanding hotel and an art museum, playing host to a number of rotating exhibits in its two-story gallery that's conveniently open 24/7. As for the rooms, there are a number of options, ranging from the Deluxe King all the way up to the spacious Corner Suite, but all of them offer contemporary styling, comfortable beds, custom furnishings, sleek bathrooms, and whimsical touches. Don't forget the eating and drinking options, which include Metropole — one of the city's best restaurants, named after the former Metropole Hotel that occupied the space — and the seasonal Cocktail Terrace, which offers terrific views from its 11th floor rooftop perch. Oh, and keep an eye out for the roaming yellow penguins.

According to the Icelandic broadcaster RÚV, here are all the known details regarding "Söngvakeppnin 2022" – Iceland's selection for Eurovision 2022.
RÚV have receieved a total of 158 songs for the selection.
10 artists will compete in the national selection this year.
5 artists have been chosen out of public submissions. 5 others have been chosen among established song writers who were directly contacted by RÚV.
The 10 competing artists and their artists will be revealed on Saturday, the 29th of January 2022 during a special TV-Show that will be broadcast on RÚV. On the same day, all the songs will be available on digital platforms.
"Söngvakeppnin 2022" will include 3 shows this year:
Semi-Final 1: Saturday the 19th of February 2022
Grand Final: Saturday the 5th of March 2022
5 artists will compete in each semi-final. The results of each semi-final will be determined by public vote only. 2 artists will advance to the final.
There's a possibility that the jury will give a wild-card to one of the non-qualifiers.
The shows will be held in a new location, in the so-called Singing Competition Hall, which is in the RVK Studios in Gufunes.
5 artists will compete in the grand final. In the first round, the results will be determined by 50% jury voting and 50% public voting.
In the "Super-Final", the top 2 artists will compete while the results will be determined solely by the public.
Rúnar Freyr Gíslason, managing director of the competition, said:
"It grows every year. Not only are we experiencing increasing interest among the nation, but it goes without saying that the interest in participation is increasing among both songwriters and performers. Songwriters see that this is a real window into the business, a real springboard, not only in this country but in Europe and elsewhere."
