Q: Android - DrawText on Canvas or TextView.draw In my Android (API 10) game I've used a MVC pattern, a SurfaceView with a canvas and a ListView for input's choice.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

<com.gorgo.pirates.MainGamePanel
    android:id="@+id/surface"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center" >
</com.gorgo.pirates.MainGamePanel>

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/mylist"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="110dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent"
    android:divider="#00000000"
    android:drawSelectorOnTop="true" >
</ListView>

So now I need to show on screen a lot of String (speeches between characters or narrator text): they stay on screen 4 seconds and they hide themself later, I change the text and reuse them and so on.
I've wrote this Class that worked but it initialized a new TextView every draw() call O_O
But I've discovered that I can't create 3 or 4 TextView and setText whenever I want because of my external Thread that can't modify a View. I've tried with an handler with no success.
So I'm thinking about canvas.drawText() but I don't know if it's the right way.
I need also that my String automatically fits in my widht (Pastebin's class does it) and uses a custom Font.
Hints? :(

A: hints? sure, you have to use this one: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Layout.html

African Bankers Awards 2020Best Regional BankDr. James MwangiEquity GroupEquity Group Foundation
Equity Group has scooped two awards at this year's African Banker Awards 2020.

The Group through its subsidiary, Equity Group Foundation (EGF), has identified seven thematic areas to focus on that include; Education & Leadership Development, Food & Agriculture, Health, Enterprise Development &Financial Education, Social Protection, Energy & Environment, and Innovation.
EGF has to date mobilized over Kshs. 44.7 billion to support these initiatives.
"We have combined financial services and doing good, social impact investments, in our business model for the betterment of our communities and we are glad that our work and the impact is being recognized," added Dr. Mwangi.
Under the health pillar, EGF mobilised Kshs1.1 billion (USD11 million) for the purchase of PPE for frontline medical personnel dealing with COVID-19 patients in public hospitals in Kenya.

Present days
Ciara: biography
Ciara is one of those talented people who have realized themselves in many spheres. The woman began her career as a singer but soon proved her abilities as a model, dancer, and even producer. Today, Ciara is a good example to follow. She does not seem to stop developing.
The future star was born on October 25, 1985, in Austin, Texas. The girl's father was a serviceman, so the family had to move frequently. Ciara used to live in New York, California, Arizona, and even Germany. In a while, the parents settled in Atlanta where Ciara Princess Harris spent the majority of her childhood and youth.
Young Ciara
As the singer confessed in one of her interviews, she dreamed of becoming a model in her childhood: she imagined herself walking the runway in fashionable clothes, and her photos would appear in glossy magazines. However, when Ciara was a teenager, she saw a concert of Destiny's Child and realized she wanted to perform on the stage.
The music and vocal classes transformed the young woman's life: she had to forget carefree walks and going to a cinema with her friends because of rehearsals. However, all the endeavor was worth it.
The girls' band where Ciara began her career was not popular. Still, the producer Jazze Pha noticed the talented beauty at that time. Soon, Ciara signed a contract with a recording studio. In 2004, she presented her debuting album Goodies that immediately made her popular.
Ciara wearing a swimsuit
In the first seven days, hundreds of copies were sold. Besides, the album topped international music charts for several weeks. Following the success, Ciara went to her first tour that brought the young woman new fans.
2006 was marked with the second album, Ciara: The Evolution. According to the musician, the title was meaningful: three years after her first work, she grew up as a professional and a person. As a result, it could be traced in her songs. Ciara not only repeated the success of Goodies but also surpassed it: in a couple of days, the new collection became platinum, and the songs "Get Up" and "Like a Boy" remained popular for more than a year.
In 2009, Ciara presented the next album, Fantasy Ride. "Love Sex Magic" performed with Justin Timberlake became the greatest hit. American and international music channels were broadcasting the music video for this song; it was nominated for Grammy. At the same time, the album itself was not much popular. Soon, Ciara went to another tour and amazed the audience with her artistic abilities and choreography.
The same year, Ciara collaborated with Enrique Iglesias and presented the track "Takin' Back My Love." Enrique also performed this song with Sarah Connor and the French singer Tyssem.
2010 brought another not-so-popular album. The next year, Ciara changed her record company and began to cooperate with Epic Records. The 2013 album Ciara notable for the song "Body Party" was created with this company. Another work, Jackie, came out in 2015; fans remember the songs "Dance Like We're Making Love" and "One Woman Army."
After the traditional tour, Ciara had a time-out in her career. In 2017, it was announced the singer started working on the next album. She gave journalists a hint that she was going to add a new genre in her music and make her songs different from the previous ones. The details remain unknown; the album is expected to be released soon.
Ciara, Sarah Mason, and Taylor Cole in the movie All You've Got
Ciara's movie works are also bright. In 2006, she debuted on the big screen in Neema Barnette's youth comedy All You've Got. In 2012, the singer appeared the musical movie Mama, I Want to Sing! starring Lynn Whitfield, Billy Zane, and Patti LaBelle.
Besides, one can see Ciara in Sean Anders's movie That's My Boy and the series The Game where she played herself. Unfortunately, Ciara's movie career is less successful than singing: the projects with her are not much popular.
Ciara's height is 171 cm., and her weight is 56 kg. The beauty has never lacked admirers' attention. The rapper Future became the young woman's partner; the couple married in 2013. The marriage of two musicians seemed to be perfect, but problems arose soon.
Rumors had it the musician was cheating on his wife. Ciara tried to ignore these speculations, but she had to admit soon: Future was not loyal to her. After the media reported about the man's new affair, Ciara broke up with him. The son Future Zahir Wilburn was born in this marriage.
Ciara and Russell Wilson
After the divorce, Ciara did not spend a lot of time alone: in 2016, she married for the second time. The football player Russel Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) became her husband. Despite the different interests, the couple seems to be happy together. In 2017, the singer gave birth to a daughter Sienna Princess Wilson. According to Ciara, she likes to spend her free time with her children and husband.
Following a pause, Ciara appeared in the news again: at this time, her skimpy outfit at Billboard Music Awards 2018 was widely discussed.
Ciara in 2018
The light silver dress impressed everyone: it was provocative yet showed the artist's wonderful body. Many Instagram users, as well as people in other social networks, liked the photos from that event.

Cornelia Elizabeth Thornton – United States Army Nurse Corps
By Roger C. Davis
Courtesy of The Gloucester Genealogical Society of Virginia
Cornelia Elizabeth Thornton (19 May 1893-28 Sept. 1918) was a World War I casualty from Bena, Virginia. Cornelia was the eldest daughter of eight children of Harry Lee and Virginia Lee Rowe Thornton, Sr. of the Thornton Creek area of Achilles in Gloucester County, Virginia. (Cornelia was the aunt of Ginny Snowden, who is currently branch manager of Gloucester Point Library, and also, of Ed Thornton, GGSV member.)
She was "one of three students that made up the first graduating class from Achilles High School in 1914." After high school she went to nursing school at Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, where she earned her nursing degree in 1917.
Cornelia (or Nellie as she was known to her friends) had the misfortune of contracting flu on the voyage over the Atlantic to England. This turned into pneumonia and led to her death on 28 September 1918 at U. S. Army Base #58, AEF, in Portsmouth, England. She was the first American nurse to die in the war after the United States entered the conflict. Eleven other Gloucester residents were among the estimated 116,708 American lives lost." She was first buried at a church in Winchester, England "with full military honors to which an army officer is entitled."
The 27 May 1920 Mathews Journal notes "the bodies of 10 women war nurses, who died while on duty with the overseas forces, and the first to be brought home, will arrive Sunday at New York on the Steamer Princess Matoaka. Among them is Miss Cornelia Thornton of Achilles." She was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Ann B. Davis
TV: South side of the 7000 block of Hollywood Boulevard
Born Ann Bradford Davis on May 5, 1926 in Schenectady, NY
Died June 1, 2014 in San Antonio, TX
Ann B. Davis was the Emmy-winning actress best remembered as the nutty housekeeper on television's "The Brady Bunch."
Davis played the wisecracking assistant on "The Bob Cummings Show" in the 1950s, but it is her "Brady Bunch" character that brought her the greatest fame. As housekeeper Alice Nelson, she provided a dizzy comic presence amid the busy Brady household, solving disputes and offering advice through 117 half-hour episodes.
The family sitcom lasted from 1969 to 1974 on ABC and despite the withering views of critics went on to become one of the most successful programs in syndication, spawning reunions of the cast in several television movies and spinoff series during the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
"Every once in a while I'll come across an episode, just flipping around the dial," Davis told an interviewer in the '90s, "and I'll sit down and watch it 'cause I don't remember how it came out. And that makes it kind of fun. Some I recognize right away, some I literally don't remember having shot. It's amazing to me that it's lasted 20 years."
In 1955, she landed the role of Charmaine "Shultzy" Schultz on "The Bob Cummings Show," playing the devoted assistant to Cummings' playboy photographer until the series ended in 1959. It was later retitled "Love That Bob" in syndication.
"It depends on how old you are whether you remember 'The Cummings Show,'" Davis told the San Antonio News Express in 1998. "For most people, I'm just Alice. But I don't mind. Now, if I were Alice the ax murderer, then I'd hate it."
During TV hiatuses, she headlined regional theater productions of "Auntie Mame," "Blithe Spirit," "Funny Girl," "Once Upon a Mattress" and many others. With the USO, she toured southeast Asia. In the mid-1990s she appeared on Broadway in the Gershwin-themed musical comedy "Crazy for You" after touring extensively with the road show.
On the big screen, Davis appeared with Rock Hudson and Doris Day in the 1961 romantic comedy "Lover Come Back." Her other movies included "A Man Called Peter," "Pepe" and "All Hands on Deck." She made cameo appearances as herself in "The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" in 1994 and as a truck driver in 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie."
Davis' other television credits included: "The Keefe Brasselle Show," "The John Forsythe Show" and guest appearances on such series as "Wagon Train," "The Dating Game," "Love, American Style," "The Love Boat," "Day by Day" and "Hi, Honey, I'm Home."
In 1976, she joined an Episcopal community in Denver, and she continued to appear occasionally on television and the stage. The community is now settled in the Texas hill country near San Antonio.
Davis died June 1, 2014, at a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. She was 88.

Wow this week flew by. The language is coming great. I'm studying hard and understanding more everyday.
We have 9 progressing investigators and have lots of future investigators. The work here is kind of slow because people forget we have appointments or are busy so we have to come back later and because there were some really chueco (disobedient) missionaries several years back who set a bad example, the people don't have a great opinion of us. But since then, there have been lots of great missionaries who have been great examples and started to change that opinion and we're working to do the same. Last week, we talked with the Hermanas about how we can strengthen the ward and inspire the members to help with missionary work and since then have been doing lots of Noche de Hogars (family home evenings) with the members and inviting them to help. It's been super great to get to know the ward and see the members helping each other out.
It's really cold here which makes it hard to get up in the mornings, but me and my comp both love running and have to find some way to keep from getting fat from all the food Momita feeds us so we get up and run to a really pretty beach every morning. It's beautiful! From the beach, you can see lots of little islands and the fishermen's boats out on the water.
Last night we watched the Face to Face live in the capilla (chapel) and before it started we got some amazing pictures of the sunset which ill send when I get them.
I encourage those of you who are of age to serve a mission. It is the most amazing, inspiring, growing experiences I've had and I'm not even 2 months in. If the mission isn't for you or you're too young or too old or have already served, remember that you as a member can be a missionary in your own neighborhood. Remember that missionary work isn't just finding new investigators; it's serving and strengthening in whatever way you can. You can be a missionary to your friends, family, and ward.
Wow, the first week in the field has been awesome.
I arrived in Osorno and was welcomed by President Isom and his wife who are pretty much the kindest most inspiring fatherly/motherly mission presidents that have ever been. We stayed 1 night in Osorno and I got to know some of the other missionaries there and go out contacting for my first time to get a feel for it.
We had a great meal with all the new missionaries and the president then got on a bus to Castro. At the terminal in Castro I met my trainer who is an adventure loving, super energetic, very fun missionary. I am so happy I got such a great trainer! We got on a bus for Chilóe and talked about how awesome the mission is and what the island is like (Chilóe is an island!). After a while the bus drove onto a barge and I soon got my first view of Chilóe! It's absolutely beautiful, green rolling hills, miles of beaches, and cute little houses.
We dropped off my bags at the house before heading over to Momitas where we ate a very late lunch. Momita is a member of the ward who is paid to feed us every day (except Sunday and Monday) for lunch except she makes so much food that lunch is the only meal we ever eat. I got to know her family and who are so awesome, they have helped me a lot with my Spanish.
The week flew by, I got to go visit some of the investigators and members plus some contacting and I'm loving it. This morning we (me, Elder Ferrell, the sister missionaries, and the other elders from Dalcalue) took a bus south and saw some really amazing waterfalls and got lots of pictures but I forgot my camera and I'll have to have the sister missionaries send me the photos.
I love it here and there is so much work to be done. My Spanish is far from perfect but its progressing every day and I have faith in the Lord to help me.
On Monday we had an amazing devotional given by President Bennet and his wife about the plan of Salvation and how sacred the temple ordinances are. They bore their testimonies and we all felt the Spirit really strong.
Wow! It's crazy to think I've already been gone for so long. I can't wait to get out in the field.
I had an amazing experience this week when I was teaching a lesson and I felt the Spirit really strong and whereas normally I have to think about/plan out what words I'm going to say in Spanish, this time I was teaching the plan of salvation and I forgot all about planning out what to say or translating over in my head from English and just started talking about the plan, our divine potential, and about life after death. I felt an enormous love for my investigator and desire for him to experience the same joy that I did. It was wonderful.
Another blessing this week is that Elder Christopherson didn't have to go home – his blood pressure is still very high but the doctor wants to make sure he really needs to go home. They gave him another kind of medication that seemed to work at first but like the previous medication it quickly stopped helping and he went from 133/93 to 157/91. Earlier today we went back to the lab and he had his blood taken to check for what the cause might be and well get the results tomorrow which is likely when we will find out if he is going home or not. Please continue to pray for him.
I love you all so much and encourage you to serve a mission, I know I'm only a little over a month in, but I've already learned so much and had so many amazing experiences.


Something interesting happened to Apple's share price at about 3:45 p.m. Thursday, just as the bottom was falling out of the rest of the market — leaving the Dow down 679 points (7.3%) for the day.
That's when Apple (AAPL) reversed course and started moving up.
The trend continued early Friday morning. Even as the Dow fell another 600 points in first few minutes of trading, Apple was enjoying its own private rally. In mid-morning trading, Apple was up nearly 8 points (9%) while the Dow was still deep in the red.
It closed the day at 96.8, up 8.06 (9%), while the Dow ended down 128 points (-1.5%).
The divergence is even clearer when you compare Apple's performance with the NASDAQ (see chart.) There's no telling how long this will last, but for the moment, Apple's shares seem to be going their own way.
What's more likely is that Apple may have finally hit some kind of bottom — around $86 a share, a 20-month low — focusing investor attention on what's coming in the weeks ahead: 1) a new line of high-margin notebook computers scheduled to be unveiled Oct. 14 and 2) a quarterly earnings report on Oct. 21 that are widely expected to blow past Apple's guidance numbers.
Given the volatility of this stock, however, the trend is unlikely to last for long. The next bit of bad news for Apple is likely to come directly from CFO Peter Oppenheimer (no relation) in the company's Oct. 21 conference call. Given the level of consumer confidence going into the holiday selling season, Apple's Q1 guidance — always conservative — is sure to be even more chilling than usual.


Trans Angels, a solidarity group among trans women in Turkey, took action following the death of two trans women in last two weeks. Hande Öncü, who left Turkey for Vienna because of transphobia, was killed in a hate crime on January 19. Another trans woman, Madonna, lost her life due to ill-health in the western city of Izmir on February 5. Öykü Ay, the leading figure of Trans Angels, told kaosGL.org how they claimed the funerals and stood together.
Öykü Ay became a well-known figure among trans women after she organized Turkey's first trans fashion show in November to raise up money for a trans shelter in Istanbul named the Trans Guesthouse, which was founded by Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association. Based upon the free health care support provided by the Beşiktaş Municipality to the shelter, she has all the reasons to feel proud of her work.
Her Facebook videos, which always start with "Hello friends, my name is Öykü Ay", is an inspiring example of how social media can be used to mobilize a vulnerable community. Ay, who was awarded the Prize for Fighting Hate Crimes by Ankara-based Pink Life Association during a series of events to mark Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) in November, feels bewildered by the differing reactions to the death of their trans child.
"Two different cultures, two different funerals, two different worlds…" are the first words that come out of Öykü Ay's mouth. Having attended two funerals the last two consecutive Fridays, she is full of emotions.
Having left Turkey for Vienna due to transphobic pressure, trans woman Hande Öncü was killed in a hate crime. Öncü's body will be brought back to Turkey thanks to Trans Angels' extensive efforts.
Hande Öncü, a transwoman from Turkey in Vienna, lost her life in a hate crime. Öncü was choked to death by unidentified people who tied her arms and legs behind her back. Her body will be returned to Turkey as a result of extensive efforts.
Öncü had applied for asylum in Austria and had been living in Vienna for approximately a year and a half. Öncü had applied for asylum because of the trans discrimination she had experienced in Turkey.
Öncü's trans friends in Turkey were saddened by the hate crime that took her life. Trans Angels, an association that aims to improve the support network among trans individuals, immediately organized the effort to bring Öncü's body back to Turkey.
Öncü's body was to be cremated because of her refugee status, but Trans Angels refused cremation and collected the amount of money necessary to bring the body back to Turkey. Öncü's body will be returned to Turkey wrapped in a rainbow flag.
Öncü's body is being brought back to Izmir. She will be laid to rest shortly with Trans Angels and her friends in attendance.
Sometimes I meet people whose life experience, or even sheer existence, is the answer to many complicated questions; it tells all that a 300-page book about politics can't tell. Öykü Ay is one of those people. One of the most encouraging things I have heard about lately is the opening of a new trans shelter. Yes, a shelter for trans individuals. Think how frequently you read in the news about a trans individual's beating, murder, or suicide under pressure. And now they have a roof to gather under thanks to Öykü Ay's organizing in the trans community and the community's own ability to organize. You are about to read the story of that shelter and that of Öykü Ay, who identifies as a religious person. While reading, please think about the concepts of morality and religiousness imposed upon us by the government. How those concepts are unable to describe real life. And, of course, think about what it means to have the strength to do good despite all the systematic misfortune, bad treatment, and ostracization. Just think.
Where and when does your story begin?
I'm from the East. I was born in a village of Malatya. To a family with 3.5 daughters and 2.5 sons.
Where do the halves come from?
From me. That's how I say how many children there are in the family. It's a joke. You didn't get it, but that's fine.
Yeah, I didn't think that way.
Anyway, I studied teaching. I was an intern grade school teacher for about a year in Adıyaman. But I couldn't handle it for long because I was too feminine. Pressure from family, pressure from society… It's hard to be LGBTI in the East; it's very painful. I ran away from there.

Is social media relevant for lawyers, accountants and surveyors?
Since 2009, there has been much debate about the value of social media to the professions. You should take a look at the various Blogs I have written on social media, LinkedIn and Twitter which include simple guides to get you started. For those with a little more experience, you might take a look at the White Paper I produced in December 2010 with e-consultancy on "The use of social media in selling and relationship management for lawyers, accountants and surveyors".
Once again I am going to explain WHY social media might be beneficial to those who decide to use it as an integrated part of their marketing, selling and relationship development activities. And I will repeat that social media isn't a panacea – there ARE some markets where its adoption rate is still low. However, dismissing social media without exploring its pros and cons is a bit like dismissing the Internet. Yes, really.
I explained the other day to some lawyers that RSS feeds enables them to have all the updates from the blogs that might be of interest to them in one place. This saves them remembering to go back to each blog to check for updates.
By following a company on LinkedIn you can be alerted to when new members of that organisation join (really helpful if it happens to be a major client).
By joining the relevant groups on LinkedIn you can scan discussions of interest to hear about the latest thinking and different opinions on a subject.
Creating Twitter lists (on my RedStarKim account there are two lists of lawyers, a list of accountants, a list for property, a list for West London and so on) means that you can quickly scan numerous 140 character messages and pick up on the key news and trends – reading the relevant links as required. It's time efficient.
Professionals often invest a lot of time preparing articles, bulletins and updates relating to developments in their field. This is a vital service for their existing clients. No doubt they will have a database of clients, referrers, prospects and contacts to whom this information is emailed. All well and good.
But by building up social media networks they can distribute this material to additional and new networks. So, if you have been a modest user of social media, links to your articles, blogs and other information can also be presented in a non-intrusive way to your connections on LinkedIn and Twitter and other social media. And you can also "recycle" relevant articles from your colleagues and clients as well while you are at it.
And if the material is suitable for public access, there's no reason why important presentations and PDFs can't be placed on your LinkedIn profile so that they are easy for people to find and download. It's a simple way to demonstrate your expertise and another good way to recycle material. And to make things even easier, in LinkedIn you can "tick the box" for your status update to appear automatically in your Twitter feed. Likewise, it is simple to attach your or your firm's Twitter feed to your LinkedIn account to ensure Twitter feeds are seen by your LinkedIn connections.
Professionals can be reluctant to produce and distribute information regularly to their clients and contacts despite the regular (sometimes frustrated) urgings of their marketing and business development people. Many professionals will produce quarterly newsletters or bulletins which might combine information from a number of their colleagues, addressing a number of issues. But the process at some firms for producing these materials can be tortuous. Meanwhile, your clients are listening to others in the market.
So by posting up a simple status update on your LinkedIn profile each week – perhaps with a link to a short, informal blog on something that you noticed that is important or relevant to your field – means that your presence is automatically flagged up on the radar of all those to whom you are connected.
The value of regularity of (relevant) contact is not disputed. And neither is the provision of "intellectual gifts" to your clients – showing that you are thinking of them and sending information that they may find of value.
The two main drivers of effective search engine optimisation (SEO – the process whereby your web site appears near the top of the results for relevant searches) are a) good quality and up to date content and b) high quality inbound links.
Social media sites are considered high quality links – so by having a good number of your professional staff on social media sites with links back to your web site (and to their specialist pages) will help search engine optimisation.
The number of times that people will check on social media networks BEFORE they go to the firm's web site should not surprise people. You want clients, referrers and potential clients to be able to find you as easily as possible.
Social media sites fare well with the search engines. Therefore you should have at least an up to date profile on the most popular social media sites (generally considered to be LinkedIn and Twitter).
And for those who are interested in international work, LinkedIn remains a popular tool for lawyers, accountants and property professionals seeking suitable contacts in other jurisdictions. Are you happy to be omitted from their searches?
You may struggle with your firm's central database or CRM. You may have long lists of emails kept in Outlook Office or in Excel spreadsheets. So it might be easier for some to concentrate on keeping a manageable set of their most important connections within one social media network – like LinkedIn.
Most social media networks will make suggestions about people that you may know (so you can reconnect with people who you have known or worked with in the past) or who you may want to know because they have similar interests. It's a simple way to expand your network.
There are many examples of people connecting on social media networks and developing their relationship before meeting someone IRL (in real life). And vice versa.
Show me a professional who isn't pressed for time. But as social media networks are available on mobile devices then dead time (e.g. like being in a taxi, stuck in traffic or waiting for meetings) can be used productively to check on the latest news from your contact base and your industry and even to initiate or continue an on-line dialogue. Privately or publicly.
We all place more credibility on third party references. LinkedIn is one of those social media sites where it is easy to request and provide references. And clients and contacts will value you taking the time to provide relevant recommendations of the work that they do (bearing in mind confidentiality issues). And yes, you have the chance to review and edit recommendations before they appear.
If you have young children to look after then it may not be possible to get to as many face-to-face networking events as you might need or like. Especially as many of them are organised at dawn or dusk. Using social media in the evenings and/or at weekends provides a way for you to remain active amongst your networks without compromising childcare arrangements and/or family life.
The value of niche marketing is undisputed. And with social media it is much easier to identify and join specialist groups and communities so that you become a part of – and possible an expert within – that niche. There is plenty of evidence of people generating a high profile and a strong following within a niche through the smart use of a niche blog and the creation of a focused on-line community with LinkedIn.
Professionals spend a lot of time networking at formal and informal events – trying to build their base of contacts. Yet many of them forget that making contact is only the start and that these relationships need to be nurtured and developed.
One of the first and easy ways to follow up after making face to face contact is to connect with people through social networks. It means that you then have a chance to see what sorts of things that they are interested in before you decide how best to promote further one-to-one contact.
Yes, you need to know what you are doing – but it isn't brain surgery. So either get some basic training or learn from a colleague.
Start small – dip your toe in and take a look around before plunging in.
Be sensible – yes, there are potential risks to your firm's and your own reputation so check out your firm's guidelines and policies.
I do not restrict access to the FAQs but I politely request that you let me know by email and acknowledge the source (www.kimtasso.com) if you wish to use the material anywhere.
As always, if there are particular topics you would like me to address in the future, please let me know. You will also find a source of more and up to date information on a broad range of management and marketing issues in the professions by checking out the blog where I also post regular reviews of books that might be helpful.

Q: Very old date displaying incorrectly when unformatted At my organization, people have been entering unknown dates as "11/11/1111". When I run a query with the date field, the value shows up as "11/04/1111". However, if I format it as to_char(datefield,'mm/dd/yyyy'), it correctly shows up as "11/11/1111". Can anyone explain why this is? I assume it has something to do with Julian vs Gregorian dates, but I can't find any information about it.

By virtue of its topographic location and agriculture base, the State has an extensive irrigation canal network with estimated total potential of over 250 MW. The State Government is committed to exploit the total potential by the year 2022.
Punjab is primarily an agrarian economy and holds tremendous potential for energy generation from agro- residues like Cotton stalks, Paddy Straw, Paddy Husk etc. It is proposed to achieve a target of 600 MW power generation in this sector by 2022.
Also the existing industries like Sugar, Paper and others have still an estimated unexploited potential of about 500MW of co-generation. Details are placed at Annexure-1A.
At present about 5000 Metric Tons of Municipal, Urban and Industrial solid waste is being produced every day in the urban areas of the State. Introducing scientific processing and treatment of this quantity of waste would add to power generation besides being environmentally benign. Such projects shall be supported on different waste streams in the State. It is proposed to achieve a target of 50 MW power generation in this sector by 2022.
Punjab is endowed with vast potential of solar energy with over 300 days of sunshine in a year with insolation level varying between 4-7 Kw/sq.mtr. Solar Power Generation capacity is targeted at 1000MW by 2022. With these projects located closer to the load in distribution/ transmission network, distribution losses will be reduced considerably and voltage drop at peak day time load will be minimized. Details are placed at Annexure-1B.
Wind power potential is low in the State as the necessary wind speed is not there. The state will support programmes to set up innovative technology based wind turbines.
Lot of research is going on around the world for efficient and economic transformation of available renewable sources of energy for usage by the society. Fuel cells, Hydrogen energy, geothermal energy, Bio fuels, Bioethanol etc. have great potential of becoming commercial RE technologies. Pilot, demonstration & commercial projects in these upcoming NRSE technology sector shall be encouraged to be set up in the state by PEDA. In addition PEDA shall take up R&D projects in the Biomass especially paddy straw combustion for power generation through Rankin cycle/gasification in pilot mode.GIS mapping shall be carried out for land, biomass and solar radiation and made available to project developers for project facilitation. PEDA shall also carry out Power transmission/distribution grid network study on 132/66 KV substations for assessing the location suitability of RE projects for max grid/power benefits in terms of voltage improvement, reduction in transmission/distribution losses, evacuation infrastructure/support and decentralized power supply.
PEDA shall facilitate and promote the green technologies in the state for furthering the economic and industrial development. Technologies such as Electric Vehicles, Compressed Biogas for Transportation, Green battery technologies, energy efficient, carbon neutral building technologies shall be promoted.
Conservation of energy in domestic, commercial, agriculture, transportation and industrial sectors can lead to major savings in terms of reduced energy consumption thereby leading to bridge the energy demand supply gap in the state. There is a potential of saving of energy upto 20-25% in different sectors of the economy in the state. Energy Conservation Measures shall be implemented and enforced in the state in accordance with the provisions contained in the Energy Conservation Act2001 by PEDA, in consultation with Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, Govt. of India. Punjab has issued notifications for mandatory use of CFL, Roof Top Solar Water Heating Systems, BIS approved & minimum BEE 4 Star Labeled pump sets and promotion of energy efficient buildings. Demo projects have been initiated for development of energy efficiency in municipal street lighting, water pumping & existing Govt. buildings. Use of BEE Star Labeled electrical appliances in all government organizations has also been mandated.
Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) has been launched by Bureau of Energy Efficiency, MOP, GOI on 27th May, 2007 to be implemented on voluntarily basis. The code is applicable to buildings / building complexes that have a connected load / contract demand of 100 kW / 120 KVA or moreand is being amended as the Punjab Energy Conservation Building Code (PECBC) to be applicable in the state of Punjab which falls in the composite climate zone within the provision of the EC Act-2001. Three types of Green building rating are also available i.e. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) & BEE Star Rating of Buildings. An energy conservation action plan team has been constituted under the chairmanship of Principal Secretary, Science & Technology, Environment and NCES which reviews implementation of various energy conservation programmes in the State.

Financial eligibility Criteria for NRSE projects to be allocated through competitive bidding is given at Annexure-IV.
Projects under REC mechanism may be allocated through competitive bidding based on the percentage share of REC price. For any project to be set up under REC mechanism, the first right to purchase power will lie with PSPCL/LICENSEE at APPC tariff. On their refusal, the bidding will envisage sale of power in open access.
Self-identified projects in the field of Small Hydro, ,waste to energy based on cattle dung/ vegetable waste / poultry waste projects& Biomass Power Projects Based on Energy Plantation & Rice Mill Integrated shall be allocated on the recommendation of the project allocation committee on case to case basis. Surplus Power from NRSE Co-generation Projects shall be procured by signing of Implementation Agreement (IA). In case of upcoming NRSE technology demonstration projects, the MOU route may be considered.
The Committee shall examine/evaluate the techno-commercial conditions in the bidding documents for projects to be allocated through competitive bidding/detailed project report for project proposals under MOU route & shall grant approval to the offers/project proposal after considering the financial capability, technical capability, status of technical collaboration with proven technology suppliers, status of land identification and its availability etc.
The NRSE projects shall be provided tariff for sale of power as per PSERC RE tariff orders and shall be governed by RE regulations.
5.1 The preferential tariff of sale of power to the PSPCL/licensee from NRSE projects to be set up under this Policy shall be as notified by the PSERCfor the financial year in which PPA is signed but shall be revised as per tariff notified for the financial year in which the scheduled date of commissioning of the project falls except in case of Solar PV and Solar Thermal power projects in which the tariff applicability is for two years and three years respectively inclusive of the Financial year in which PPA is signed in accordance with the CERC RE regulations. Likewise, in case of NRSEprojects allocated through tariff based competitive bidding / discount on preferential tariff, the tariff arrived after competitive bidding / discounted tariff shall be applicable in accordance with CERC RE regulations.
5.2 The developer in technologies/resources where tariff has not been notified by the PSERC shall be required to submit petition to the Commission for determination of tariff.
5.3 To maximize the availability of NRSE Power for PSPCL/LICENSEE and to meet its RPO, NRSE based captive / co-gen power projects setup and commissioned during the period of NRSE Policy-2006 having surplus power and not registered with PEDA so far or not signed the Implementation agreement will be allowed to get themselves registered with PEDA and to sign agreement to facilitate power purchase by PSPCL/LICENSEE. PSPCL will sign only long term PPA with such registered projects on the last escalated tariff of NRSE Policy-2006 payable for FY 2011-12.
5.4 As per Power Purchase Agreements signed with PSEB (now PSPCL) by IPP Biomass/Biogas power projects allocated by PEDA & set-up during the period of NRSE Policy 2001,the tariff has become stagnant at Rs. 3.49 per unit since2006. The generic tariff as per RE tariff regulation 2012 notified by CERC and adopted by PSERC for biomass power projects allows 5% annual rise in the fuel cost for the tariff period from the date of commissioning. Therefore to enable these projects to continue generation, the tariff for these projects will be re-determined by PSERC for the remaining period of PPA.
5.5 No parallel operation charges shall be levied on NRSE projects.

"…HE WHO DIGS A PIT, shall fall in it," said Sir Louis Straker yesterday, as he finally made public, documents showing that he renounced his American citizenship before becoming an active member of Parliament over 24 years ago.
The display of documents came on Thursday, April 26 during an exclusive interview with SEARCHLIGHT, and 573 days after Sir Louis was given seven days by lawyer Kay Bacchus-Baptiste, acting on behalf of the New Democratic Party (NDP), to show documents that prove he is not a citizen of the United States.
Sitting in his office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sir Louis commented, "…If they dug a pit for me, they dug it for the Leader of the Opposition, he has the same problem…. If they think they have dug a pit for me, they have really dug a pit for themselves…," Sir Louis said chuckling.
Sir Louis's documents include a United States of America (USA) Certificate of Loss of Nationality and show that he renounced his American citizenship on February 1, 1994. He was elected to the Parliament of this country for the first time on February 21, 1994.
"I expatriated myself on that same day, February 1st, 1994, that I went to the Embassy," stated Sir Louis while noting that only a few persons in the Cabinet of Ministers have seen the documents that he showed to SEARCHLIGHT.
When asked why he took so long to make the documents public, Sir Louis laughed and responded, "let them (the NDP) 'palard'.
He said a couple years ago, when questioned about his US citizenship, he told another media house that it was a non-issue, but persons still insisted he was lying.
"…573 days now I waiting for them to put to me to the High Court," said Straker, referring to a letter written on September 30, 2016 by lawyer Kay Bacchus-Baptiste in which she gave Sir Louis seven days to prove he was not a US citizen.
"I represent along with a team of lawyers including overseas counsel Mr Ben Exeter candidate in the Central Leeward election and various persons entitled to vote in the said Central Leeward elections…. My clients have instructed to me to request your resignation within seven days or produce proof of date of any renounciation (sic) of your US citizenship, failing which a high court action will commenced (sic) to hear and determine the question…," part of Bacchus-Baptiste's 2016 letter said.
"They called a press conference down in Layou on the issue. I couldn't past here (in front the Financial Complex) for some of their supporters who would shout 'When you going to give up your citizenship?' and if I happen to walk under there (the Electoral Office)…," said Sir Louis.
He noted that there was even a letter signed by a group of residents of the Central Leeward constituency asking for his documents, but during every election campaign, he told his supporters and the people in Central Leeward that everything was fine.
"I talked to a lawyer and the lawyer said don't bother with them because if they are alleging, it is a fundamental principle of the law of evidence that he who alleges must prove, which is why I did not feel obligated to come forward," Sir Louis explained.
He added that some have commented that his name is still on the voters' list in the United States, but if that is so, it is not because of any fault of his.
Sir Louis said he is aware that some may say the documents presented to SEARCHLIGHT are fake, but they bear the seal of the Department of State of the United States.
"The seal is original, and they are going to be so ashamed that they are going to say the documents could be fake.
Last Tuesday, in a letter to the editor of SEARCHLIGHT, pharmacist and social commentator Matthew Thomas questioned the constitutionality of the tenure in Parliament of Leader of the Opposition and Member of Parliament for the Northern Grenadines Dr Godwin Friday, who is a citizen of Canada, which is a Commonwealth country.
Thomas questioned Friday's eligibility to sit in Parliament on the basis of Section 26(a).
"I point out by our Constitution, that if you hold dual citizenship, you're not eligible, if this second citizenship is by your own act, you can't be a representative," Thomas opined on Monday.
A local Constitutional expert agrees with Thomas.
"… It makes a lot of sense in that it brings into question, Dr Friday's tenure as a member of Parliament, a position he has held since 2001. It seems to me that Section 25 is subject to Section 26, which means that the contents of Section 26 take precedence over those of Section 25," the lawyer said.
"It is a serious thing because it may be a breach of the Constitution, [Dr Friday] being born in St Vincent and migrating to Canada as an adult could only have obtained Canadian citizenship by pledging his allegiance to that country. It seems to me that if he gained Canadian citizenship as a child he would have been helped by Section 25, but as it stands there is some merit in Matthew's article," the legal expert added.

Kamienica Pod Pszczółkami – zabytkowa kamienica znajdująca się w Krakowie przy ulicy św. Marka 8, na Starym Mieście.

Historia
Czynszowa kamienica została wzniesiona w latach 1937-1938 w miejscu wyburzonej wcześniejszej zabudowy na zlecenie Komunalnej Kasy Oszczędności Powiatu Krakowskiego. Projektantem modernistycznego budynku był Fryderyk Tadanier.

Architektura
Kamienica Pod Pszczółkami wpisuje się w kontekst architektoniczny okolicy, a w jej formie wyraźnie widać nawiązania do dawnej architektury. Odwołanie do lokalnej tradycji stanowi rozbudowany portal, oblicowany kamieniem, tralki oraz attyka. Funkcję godła kamienicy pełnią trzy pełnoplastyczne rzeźby przedstawiające pszczoły, umieszczone między oknami pierwszego i drugiego piętra. Motyw pszczoły nawiązuje do biblijnego symbolu pracowitości oraz oszczędności i był często wykorzystywany do dekoracji budynków stanowiących inwestycje Kas Oszczędności.

We wnętrzu kamienicy zaprojektowano duże, luksusowe mieszkania. Największe z nich, sześciopokojowe, o dwóch holach i dwóch służbówkach, zajęło całe pierwsze piętro. Takie umieszczanie lokalu najbardziej prestiżowego było powszechne w kamienicach i nawiązuje do tradycji piano nobile – piętra reprezentacyjnego wprowadzonego w nowożytnej architekturze pałacowej.
