Tigo Tanzania's General Manager Diego Gutierrez said: "As a digital lifestyle brand, our goal is to impact the music industry by creating a platform that not lonly allows for easy access to releases by local artists, but also train our musicians on important issues such as intellectual property rights and marketing. this is our way of supporting local talent and growing the local music industry."
The streaming service comes with a dynamic schedule of promotions, concerts and events, as well as digital features such as daily music suggestions and recommendations.
Tigo will introduce a variety of music package services which will allow its customers to directly access the Deezer Tigo Music service through *148*00#.

Golfamore tee booking business launches in the UK
2.18pm 12th September 2019 - Corporate
Golfamore, Sweden's most popular online golf course booking service, is now available in the UK.
Golfamore offers golfers discounts on green fees and provides inspiration for golfers to try new courses.
Founded in Sweden in 2005, over 20% of all golfers in that country have used the service, which offers half-price discounts on green fees at selected golf clubs. Today around 1,000 golf courses across Europe have partnered with Golfamore.
"We see a huge potential in the UK that, just like the Nordics, has a big golf community," said Jonas Elmqvist, CEO at Golfamore. "Brits are actually the most frequent golf travellers in Europe. And with more UK golfers deciding to explore courses in their own country, Golfamore opens up a world of opportunity to them."
Cottesmore in West Sussex is one of Golfamore's early signings in the UK
With over 645,000 registered players, England leads the way for dedicated players, with nearly one million playing at least once a week. And now, according to Sykes, with 'staycations' becoming increasingly popular in the UK with 66% of the population choosing to holiday at home, avid golfers are looking to get inspiration on where to play next on their UK breaks. Golfamore is often used by its Swedish players as a navigation tool with golfers identifying their next course through the service.
According to Statista, regular golfers from France, Germany, Sweden, Great Britain and Ireland ranked 'tee time availability' as most important in making a booking and with Golfamore the booking process is easy and also at half price.
For £4.95 per month, Golfamore users get access to the 50% green fee discount at all of Golfamore's partner golf clubs in Europe. In England, Golfamore has already partnered with Cottesmore Golf, Macdonald Portal-Championship Course and Carden Park. Golfamore currently has 71 partnering golf clubs in Ireland, including Carne Golf Links, Enniscrone Golf Club, Killarney Golf Club; 29 in Wales and 95 in Scotland.
Golfamore isn't only limited to the UK and Ireland, but also gives its players access to 50% green fee discounts at over 1,000 golf courses in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Scandinavia and Italy.
"We want golf players to be enriched by new and exciting golf experiences, and give them the opportunity to play more golf," added Elmqvist. "With Golfamore more golfers can visit new courses both in their own region, but also abroad. With Golfamore both the clubs and the players benefit. The players get more access and inspiration, and golf clubs get to attract new players both locally and internationally. We are very proud of leading this golf movement to secure the future growth of golf and develop its position as one of the most popular sports in Europe."

A guest at the downtown Minneapolis Hilton on Thursday brandished a weapon, holed himself in his room on the 22nd floor and came out on his own accord after five hours of negotiating with police, officials said.
Three nearby floors were evacuated during the incident, which ended with the man in police custody. Authorities recovered a handgun from the room.
The man has since been booked at the Hennepin County jail for probable cause second-degree assault.
Around 2:30 p.m., Minneapolis police responded to a report of a threatening man who was possibly armed. A SWAT negotiation team arrived and eventually talked the man into coming out. The situation was peacefully resolved just before 8 p.m.
The hotel, a joint hospitality host of the annual convention for the National Association of Black Journalists, was housing dozens of members of the media. Police repeatedly told the throngs of reporters there was "no threat to public safety."
Police said the man's intentions remain unclear. An investigation is ongoing.

How is the cell reception at the park?
Cell reception is spotty at different areas in the par. I have Sprint which seems to have the worst reception of all, no signal most of the time. Texting works fine though.
I am coming alone. I will arrive, hopefully, around 4:00 Wed. I have a small tent Maybe a canopy a small car chair cooler etc. Where should I camp? I have never been to the park. Point me in the right direction, Family.
Reception is terrible especially during the day. Pretty much nonexistent. Early morning or super late night, it's better.
Hi, everyone! Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great online Wanee Festival community. I'm hoping to join up in the upcoming festivals. Cheers!


This Fried Chicken Recipe is soaked in buttermilk and is super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. A great and easy dish that is perfect to entertain guests or host a game day.
When it comes to comfort food, this is our favorite meal. It is easy to make and full of flavor. We brine the chicken in buttermilk and pickle juice, infuse it with spices and seasoning, which results in super crispy meat. Our other homemade favorites are fried cheese sticks, crab cakes, and bacon wrapped shrimp with brown sugar.
This Fried Chicken Recipe is always a winner. We have been making it for many years and is by far our most favorite chicken recipe to make. We soak it in buttermilk and pickle juice at least 30 minutes in advance, which leaves the meat super tender and moist on the inside with a crispy texture on the outside.
For the PERFECT finish, we coat it in the flour mixture with spices and seasoning. This combination gives this dish ultra flavor and tenderness which is just irresistible. Similarly, you can keep it simple with just flour, salt, and pepper. No matter which path you go with, we guarantee you will love it on your first bite.
How to make the chicken super crispy?
Double dip the poultry in buttermilk – after dredging it with flour, dip in buttermilk, and again, toss in flour, this makes the chicken super crispy and tender.
Use iron cast skillet – we recommend doing so as the iron cast skillet maintains the heat better, and spreads it more uniformly throughout the cooking process.
Let it rest before frying – resting the meat after coating it with flour and dipping in buttermilk will form a nice and perfect crust.
Preheat the oil – before placing the chicken in the skillet, ensure the oil reached the right temperature. The oil and heat should be about 350 degrees F prior to cooking. When you add the chicken, the temperature will drop. Keep it at 300 to 325 degrees while it is frying. If it is too hot, the outside will get burned.
Do not overcrowd the pan – Similarly important is not to overcrowd the pan with poultry when frying. Try using smaller batched for ultimate results.
How long should fried chicken rest?
Try not to fry it immediately after dredging as it usually results in the coating to peel off. So is best to let it rest for at least 10 minutes on a wire cooling rack while oil heats. Resting it properly helps the coating stick, which results in a crispy skin.
What oil is best for frying the chicken?
When frying it is highly important NOT TO USE low smoke point oils such as extra-virgin olive oil. This will cause a bitter taste which you want to avoid. Instead go with canola, vegetable or peanut oil as they have a higher smoke point and are ideal for this recipe.
What to serve with fried chicken?
HOW to store fried chicken?
It is best to refrigerate it in a shallow airtight container or wrap tightly with a heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Then, store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. However, once refrigerated it may not be as crispy as before. Reheat it in the oven or microwave.
Before frying it, bring the brined meat to room temperature. It is best to remove it from the fridge at least 20 minutes prior to cooking so the meat is not too cold when placing in the oil.
Once fried, don't keep it on a paper towel for too long as it may result in soggy meat. Instead, drain the chicken on a wire rack. This will result in a crisp texture.
A quick way to ensure the oil is hot enough for cooking in by placing the tip of a wooden spoon in the oil. If you see little bubbles form around it, the oil is ready to go.
Similarly, you could use a thermometer to measure the oil temperature, this is the most accurate way.
Cut the chicken and discard the backbone. We usually cut the chicken into 8-10 smaller pieces.
Add pickle juice and buttermilk to a large bowl, stir to combine. For a spicier kick, add some hot sauce as well.
Next, add the chicken pieces into the mixture. Set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
In a medium shallow bowl mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place a wire rack onto a baking sheet and set it nearby.
Remove one chicken piece from the buttermilk mixture, toss it well into the flour mixture, and place it onto the prepared cooling rack. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
To save time, you can add the flour mixture to a large baking dish, dump the chicken into it, and toss to combine, before placing it onto the cooling rack.
Place a large/deep frying pan and fill it 1/2 full with oil. Heat oil to 365 degrees and fry the chicken in batches careful not to overcrowd it. Cook chicken for 10 or more minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
Remove and set aside on a cooling rack placed on top of paper towels, to drain chicken of excess oil.
Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy.
I don't fix fried chicken very often because it isn't as healthy as most chicken meals. I always use my cast iron skillet when I do fix fried chicken.
That looks so good and I have Chicken in the Freezer waiting to be cooked so I can't wait to share this recipe with my husband and see if he would like to make it for dinner.
Yes please. I just love fried chicken. I actually have never tried making it on my own. I really should!
I love fried chicken. There's something to be said about a good piece and deep-fried chicken. I don't eat it all the time but when I do it as a special treat. It looks amazing.

That looks like it came straight out of a restaurant. Impressive! I'll have to make this for my family some time.
Oh my, this looks so good! I am going to have to try it. I am from south Georgia and we love some fried chicken, I have tried to make it all different ways will add this to the list!
Your recipe looks awesome. It's also kid-friendly. I'm now excited to try this at home next time we fry chicken.
I haven't mastered fried chicken and I adore it. My gramma spoiled me. She could fry a chicken that would make you weep, it was that good.
Thanks for these tips. I have been frying chicken for years but have never did a brine before. Your chicken looks really good, I can't wait to try your recipe.
Your fried chicken looks super yummy!! I have my own recipe that I love but need to try yours and compare the two…LOL!!
My boys love fried chicken big time. The use of pickle juice is interesting I've never tried that before. I will have to try your recipe ASAP.

Jay-Z reportedly went in during a recent trip to Miami. The rap superstar reportedly spent close to $750,000 on champagne alone at a local nightspot. He had bragged earlier that he was going to do some serious bottle-poppin' once he hit the Miami clubs.
"I'm just coming to hang out," Jay said in an interview last Friday. "I'm gonna break the record for bottles popped in one night. I don't know what the record is but I'm assuming since it's Miami, it's gotta be somewhere around 75 bottles. I'm going that way."
Jay also supposedly tipped the staff $50,000.

Q: Hide paypal payment button I want to hide the paypal payment button. I am using the paypal Javascript SDK. I know I can use the disable-fundings to disable credit card and so on. But there is no option for paypal. I am using my own payment method selection before. I have tried with jQuery but it does not work:

The paypal payment buttons are rendered by the Javascript SDK in a div called "paypal-button-container". That creates an iframe where all the payment buttons are in.
<div id="buttons-container" class="buttons-container"...

Inside that are other divs with the buttons. The button that I want to hide is this div:

I think at first I have to go into the iframe and then find the element.
Currently I am trying this
if ($( "#paypal-button-container" ).contents().find(".paypal-button-row.paypal-button-number-0")) {
            console.log("found");
            $( ".paypal-button-row.paypal-button-number-0" ).hide();
        }

The console outputs "found". But it does not hide the div. Meanwhile I found out that the console always shows "found" even with a .find("abc").
Any ideas?

A: It appears what you are actually looking for is rendering standalone buttons.
Note that presenting such independent/standalone buttons for e.g. radio button functionality or to use your own layout for the buttons is not to be used to avoid/hide presenting the PayPal option somewhere on the site with equal prominence to other payment methods. If you don't feature the PayPal payment method alongside other options the PayPal account's processing could be deactivated, since that's a violation of its TOS.

if ($( "#paypal-button-container" ).contents().find(".paypal-button-row.paypal-button-number-0"))

This approach shouldn't be used, but FYI the problem with that use of jQuery is you need to make use of .length after invoking it, and test against that. Note the difference:
if ( $('#myElement').length ) {
    console.log('#myElement was actually found')
}

if ( $('#myElement') ) {
    console.log('This will always be true regardless...')
}

It's probably also executing too soon, not after the buttons are fully rendered. But anyway there's no reason to do it this way, see the standalone buttons documentation above.

A: That sounds great. With the standalone buttons it looks like it is working.
I have added the script for it.
var FUNDING_SOURCES = [
            paypal.FUNDING.<?php echo $paymentMethod; ?>
        ];

        // Loop over each funding source/payment method
        FUNDING_SOURCES.forEach(function(fundingSource) {

            // Initialize the buttons
            var button = paypal.Buttons({
                fundingSource: fundingSource
            });

            // Check if the button is eligible
            if (button.isEligible()) {

                // Render the standalone button for that funding source
                button.render('#paypal-button-container');
            }
        });

I will continue to test it.
Of course we offer also Paypal as payment method.

A: For hide other buttons use this:

With the approach of fall, you may be wondering if it's time to clean out your gutters. Let us take this not-so-fun chore off your hands! Weather patterns are different each year so we recommend a range of time to get your gutters cleaned.
Spring – Between April through the end of June to rid your gutters of the accumulation of fall & winter debris. In addition, some of the tender tree foliage is blown off the trees along with blossoms & pollen strings which because of their consistency will clog gutters causing them to hold water, providing a perfect breeding ground for mosquito larva.
Mid to Late Summer – August through September because, despite the fact that most leaves are firmly attached to the trees, some still come down & end up in your gutters. Here in Colorado we tend to get a lot of hail near the end of summer, which will knock down a lot of leaves. You want to make sure these get cleaned out before the build up of fall debris.
Early Fall (before the snow arrives!) October through November, leaves & needles quickly accumulate in your gutters. We do not have a long period of fall here in Colorado and the leaves falling off the trees will build up quickly in your gutters! This gutter cleaning is a balancing act of waiting for most leaves to be off the trees & not waiting too long so that all gutters freeze solid with the ice & leaves in them.

Below I'm using an Apple TV connected to a projector, in a school hall, mirroring everything I'm doing on my iPad. The Apple TV and iPad are connected to the same wifi network.
The Chromecast is small, very small and cheap – £30, a third of the price of an Apple TV, it also has no remote! Which at first I thought was fantastic, but soon began to realise the security implications of a no-remote set up.
There are a few apps from the Apple iOS App store, which have recently incorporated Chromecast; BBC iPlayer, Netflicks, Youtube, HBO, essentially TV streaming services. Which is fine for home use, but not a classroom game changer.
For the Chromcast at present, there are a few paid for apps, which allow you to mirror photos and certain video file types from your iPad, but you have to add the video recording to another app and wait for it to convert the file. Fun for the Geek, not for the teacher. We should expect to be able to show the video we recorded instantly, not have to wait for a conversion, thats' old school!
Waiting for a video to convert, doesn't happen with the Apple TV. The ATV mirrors everything you're doing, regardless of the app, video or photo.
But most relevant and alarming was, I couldn't see a security option in the Chromecast settings! So any mobile tablet or smart phone device allowed onto my network, could hijack my screen/board. Acceptable for home use, not ideal for a school.
The Apple TV has two main options for adding a passcode, to prevent others from hijacking your screen, this is where a remote comes in handy, for setting security options.
There was also a considerable amount of video lag when using the Chromecast, compared to the Apple TV on the same network.
To conclude, the Apple TV is more secure, works with all iOS apps and content and is an easier method for wireless mirroring an iPad or iPhone in a classroom environment.
The Chromecast works ok with a host of TV services, and is a suitable setup for the home, but its not yet ready for the classroom. However it is small, so very, very small.
This new development makes the setup and user experience for both teachers and technicians easy and quick.

Q: Table doesn't have a primary key when adding a new row to datatable I have a datatable in windows form and I want to add a new row to the table. I always receive the error

Table doesn't have a primary key.

The question is that I don't want a primary key at all. It may have duplicated "ID" in the table.
My code:
using (DataTable dt = new DataTable())
{
dt.Columns.Add("EntryDE", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("Descr", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dgv.Rows)
{
    DataGridViewCheckBoxCell check = row.Cells[0] as DataGridViewCheckBoxCell;
    if (check.Value != null)
    {
        if ((bool)check.Value)
        {
            //this row has a checkBox set to true (tick is added)
            //add this row to dataTable ...
            DataRow myRow = (row.DataBoundItem as DataRowView).Row;
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();

            dr["EntryDE"] = myRow["ID"].ToString();
            dr["Descr"] = myRow["EntryName"];
            dr["Id"] = Id;
                    dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
    }
}

Thanks for advice.

A: You probably do want a primary key, as without it you'll be unable to update or delete rows later on.
If the ID field is going to contain duplicates, then you should add another column, call it primary_key or whatever you like, and use that column as PK.

A: The error isn't coming from the DataTable because this works:
    using (DataTable dt = new DataTable())
    {
        dt.Columns.Add("EntryDE", typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Descr", typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();

            dr["EntryDE"] = "abc";
            dr["Descr"] = "xyz";
            dr["Id"] = 1;
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
    }

You've got some other problem.


SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — An Internet entrepreneur accused of being behind an online marketplace for illegal drugs has asked the government to return more than $30 million in bitcoin seized from his computers.
Ross Ulbricht, of San Francisco, was arrested in October following a crackdown on the black market website Silk Road.
Federal prosecutors in New York say Ulbricht went by the online handle, "the Dread Pirate Roberts," and turned the underground site into a place where anonymous users could buy or sell all sorts of contraband and illegal services.
In court filings, prosecutors said they seized 144,336 bitcoins from Ulbricht's computers.
The virtual currency is exceedingly valuable, but lightly regulated.
Ulbricht said in a legal filing on Dec. that the currency should be returned because it isn't subject to civil forfeiture rules.

It is advised that you seek Independent Legal advice before entering into a legally binding equity release contract.
Why do people consider Equity Release?
You probably have other ideas - there is no restriction on how you use the funds.
If you have savings or investments you may wish to consider this alternative.
Have you checked to see that you are getting all of the benefits you are entitled to? It may be that you are entitled to benefits that make equity release unnecessary. Also equity release could affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits so it's worth speaking to your local authorities to consider these areas first. They may be able to offer you grants or assistance with essential home improvements and alterations that you would otherwise pay for yourself.
If your family have grown up and they are off on their own financial journey now, your current home may be too big for your needs and you could consider something smaller and more economical to run. In this case, you could consider purchasing a smaller property, leaving you with a lump sum on completion.
If your house is sufficiently large you might consider renting out a room to bring in regular extra income.
This option involves selling your house and investing the proceeds in income producing investments. The income from these investments is then used to rent a property and for your living expenses. You would only really be able to generate sufficient income to live on if your property was sold for a large sum of money, so this option should only really be considered if your house is worth in excess of £400,000.
Equity release has to fit with your needs, circumstances and preferences, where the benefits need to outweigh the drawbacks and be more suitable than alternative methods of raising funds.


Volkswagen announced investments of €3.5 billion ($3.7 billion) in future-oriented areas, which mostly concern electrification of new models.
As a whole, the company is transforming from a pure automaker into a mobility service provider.
Interestingly, efficiency improvements in the labor pool due to making more straight forward electric vehicles will result in up to 23,000 jobs reductions in Germany (out of 120,000), but 9,000 more will ultimately be added in future-oriented areas.
"The Board of Management and General Works Council of Volkswagen have signed a pact for the future in Wolfsburg following constructive negotiations.
This pact will initiate the return of the Volkswagen brand to a path of profitable growth. The program for the German plants with about 120,000 employees is to significantly improve the competitiveness of the Volkswagen brand and to make the company fit for the future. It will lay the foundation for the transformation of Volkswagen from a pure automaker into a successful mobility service provider in the age of digitalization and increasing e-mobility. The main focus is on reorientation across the entire value stream.
By 2020, the Volkswagen brand intends to be completely re-positioned. Compulsory redundancies are to be excluded and the workforce is to be reduced in a socially compatible way. At the same time, new jobs are to be created in future-oriented areas. Specifically, the pact for the future is to have a positive impact on earnings of €3.7 billion per year by 2020.
Checking details of the investments, we see a lot of new projects in VW's plants in Germany. Some of which are fairly surprising.
For example there is a plan for a pilot plant for battery cells and cell modules in Salzgitter. Battery cells (not battery packs) is something that Volkswagen's CEO recently considered as a bad idea after early rumors pushed the company into battery cell manufacturing.
High spending is planned for VW's Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB) for new generation electric cars with longer ranges (the first will be production version of the Volkswagen I.D.).
Thanks to savings and efficiency improvements in all areas and at all locations in Germany, the company expects a positive annual impact on earnings of about €3 billion from 2020 onwards. The regions outside Germany will also achieve sustainable improvements in earnings. Through their own plans of action, they will contribute about €700 million per year to the pact for the future. As a result, the total improvement in earnings will be about €3.7 billion.
The pact for the future is to improve the productivity of the German plants by about 25% and to increase the operating margin to four percent by 2020.
To bring Volkswagen to the forefront of the industry in the future-oriented areas of e-mobility and digitalization, the company will be making a massive investment in new technologies. The German plants are to enter the field of developing and producing electric vehicles and components. A pilot plant for battery cells and cell modules is to be developed. At the same time, the future of the conventional units is to be safeguarded. All in all, Volkswagen will be investing €3.5 billion in the transformation of the company.
New competences in future-oriented areas are to be developed at the various locations. About 9,000 additional jobs with a secure future are to be created. Volkswagen will mainly be filling these vacancies with existing employees and will also be recruiting specialists from outside the Group. Over the next few years, Volkswagen will be cutting up to 23,000 jobs via natural fluctuation and partial early retirement, taking the demographic curve into account. It is expressly stated that this reduction in the workforce will be accomplished without compulsory redundancies.
The pact for the future includes agreements on new future-oriented vehicle products. The plants at Wolfsburg and Zwickau are to assume responsibility for the production of electric vehicles based on the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB). By investing in e-mobility, Volkswagen will create jobs with a secure future at these locations. In order to ensure efficient capacity deployment, a further model is to be produced at the Emden plant. At Wolfsburg, an additional Volkswagen Group vehicle will also be produced.
Future-oriented work is to be divided between the main German components plants. Brunswick will continue to produce the battery system for the Modular Transverse Toolkit and will also be developing and producing the battery system for the Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB). Kassel is to develop the MEB drive system and to be responsible for the assembly of the entire system in addition to electric transmission production. Salzgitter will produce and supply MEB drive system components. In addition, the plant will be building a pilot facility for battery cells and cell modules.
"With the pact for the future, Volkswagen will be taking a major step forwards. The pact represents a fundamental transformation of the value stream, the development of new competences and strategic investment.
We will be strengthening the company's economic viability and competitiveness and will be safeguarding the future of our plants. The socially compatible loss of jobs will be offset by the creation of jobs in other units." Diess emphasized that Volkswagen would be concentrating consistently on the future of the automotive industry.
"The most important news is that the workplaces of our permanent workforce will be safeguarded. We have agreed that compulsory redundancies are to be excluded up to the end of 2025. In view of what is happening at other companies, this is a considerable success in troubled times.
38 Comments on "VW To Invest $3.7 Billion Into Electric Future, Cuts 23,000 Jobs At Same Time Due To EV Efficiency"
When an area needs less workers than before to meet the same results, that's a positive thing.
For whom? Not laid off workers. You are correct but there is a social cost if new jobs are not created to rreplace the old. Especially with self driving cars which are obviously about to massively displace jobs (see recent Tesla Autopilot 2.0 video). Even Elon Musk has stated a guaranteed basic income might be worth looking at.
Ultimately, per capita productivity is how wealth is generated so, strictly speaking, social cost from redundancy occurs only as a result of a weakness in the socioeconomic system.
This is a simple fact but oh how many don't understand that.
Which is why progress has never arisen from politics.
I don't think I understand it, at least not in this context. Is the "weakness in the socioeconomic system" our relative inability to distribute wealth?
Also, isn't the per capita productivity (of Germany in this case) essentially the same unless you assume that all of the jobs that go away are replaced somewhere else?
No lay offs, just natural attrition through retirements.
It is in the article.
"23,000 Jobs At Same Time Due To EV Efficiency" … in the future maybe.
They killed 30,000 jobs due to diesel cheating here and NOW.
..the Establishment/Mike Pence side of the Republican argument. VW's shares weren't moved much, and for those cheering employment reduction, 25-30k of slow attrition, wasn't enough. VW's global workforce is, what, ~600k?
Apart from pushing the environment aside, trade and finance are the two areas causing angst within the 'R's these days. Democrats had the microphone for financial reform. Now, they have Chuck Schumer. 8 years?
Every OEM will have this type of announcement sometime in the next 10 years. VW got strong-armed into it early because of Dieselgate.
23K less jobs at VW, but how many less will result at suppliers too?
Easy the suppliers will have to conform to the needs of electrification just like coal miners need to be building solar panels instead of crying about the demise of their industry.
That didn't answer my question. If you make say, engine blocks for VW, and now they don't use that engine block anymore, it's not like you are suddenly going to start making battery cells. I'd like to see an actual # on the snowball effect this transition will cause. Now, I'm not saying the transition is a bad thing, just want to bring up the consequences will be bigger than just 23K jobs.
You need a guy, like Mark Zandi, who backed up the GM-bankruptcy supposition with follow-through unemployment expected to reach 3.2mm people. Do you speak German?
If I am a coal miner out of a job, how exactly do I go about making solar panels?
Yeah, good one. It easy to say that, but to get coal miners to make that transition, it's extremely difficult.
The idea of transformation is a variation of "the market solves all". No mention is made of the real pain and suffering for individuals.
It's naturally way better to state that 'everything will be alright and coal will be here for decades to come' while ignoring the 'problem' altogether.
I think EVs are likely to cause a shift of production to suppliers. GM Bolt is an example, often referred to as "LG Bolt". FCA's Marchionne publicly frets about what he calls "disintermediation" .
So it seems to me that jobs loss at VW might actually be the result of a shift of workload to suppliers. A lot depends on whether VW decides to make battery cells and packs itself or just outsource it. Looks like it has a hard time making up its mind about that. It's not immediately obvious to me that assembling a battery pack would need less personnel than assembling engines BTW.
Depends on ones point of view ie worker or company.
I wonder when the 2019 300 mile cars will actually hit the showrooms. 300 mile midsize ev in a couple of years seems pretty aggressive.
i can't help but be suspicious that this is an attempt to put job cuts in a most favorable light, by putting it under the guise of "repositioning". given the kinds of fines that have hit volkswagen AG recently (not to mention the sales hits that they have taken on some of their products), i wonder how many of these "redundancies" would have been discovered in any event? i mean, the diesel product line was going to take a big hit anyway.
Everybody in the world who specializes on internal combustion engines today will have to requalify within their lifetime.
I seems a bit disingenuous to blame evs for job cuts when most of VW's money problems have evolved from their emissions falsification on their diesel models.
They still think that people are dumb and believe everything VW says.
EV market is growing strong. That's why Tesla is hiring lots of people.
The truth is actually: EVs? we can't do it!
Thanks for info ! Lets say then that it should be a car produced in meaningful quantities, no supercar category.
U just don't get it, don't u?
That is the problem: EV tech is simple. That is, they can't fool anybody with it and they can't build it so it can compete with other EV manufacturers on the market, that's the point.
In other words, they don't see any chance to make money out of it.
Perhaps new jobs will be created in EV infrastructure and renewable energy. Germany's unemployment is not too bad anyways and the social safety net better than lots of other places. But the above comments about other automakers shedding jobs (in the US?) are probably right on. Hey, at least Tesla is growing. Obviously the challenge is to stay relevant in the new economy.
There is no doubt the future is electric. Hydrogen didn't work out and we certainly can't comtinue burning fossil fuels. So the BEV is where it's at.
If you want to continue be a leading car manufacturer now is the time to place your bets. Those who are ready for EV mass production in 2020 are going to have a massive advantage over those who are dragging their feet now.
I'm sure pure EV's are less complicated and require less labor, but VW/Audi seems to be heavy on PHEV's in their pipeline. And they would actually take more labor, because they have 2 drivetrains.
I wonder if they are trying to hide layoffs due to poor sales as if they were the fault of EV's and not just a big drop in sales.
So what, 23000 jobs seize to exist as they are no longer needed. That's called progress, when work can be done more efficiently by fewer people. Considering that among the 120k VW employees in Germany around 30-40k work in administration (!), not R&D or manufacturing, surely some positions are clearly not really necessary. Besides, the guys were retiring anyway. Markets change with time, otherwise we would not discuss EVs here, but rather would stand out in the street debating which breed is the best horse and what to feed it so it does pull the familiy carriage in a godfearing manner (basically like the Amish).

Midwifery's Diversity Problem Hits Spotlight
Black midwives have a rightful seat at any leadership table in their field, without having to prove themselves to white-dominated establishments.
Kimberley Allers Seals
Members of the International Center for Traditional Childbearing.
(WOMENSENEWS)–The United States Midwifery Education, Regulation and Association (US MERA) is facing allegations of racial exclusion for giving an intentional cold shoulder to the only autonomous organization that represents the interests of midwives of color.
The claims concern the International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC), a nonprofit, professional midwifery and doula association for women of color established in 1991 in Portland, Ore. ICTC and its founder and president, Shafia Monroe, have a respected track record of supporting and promoting midwives and doulas of color.
Nonetheless, not a single person from ICTC was invited to join the steering committee of US MERA, a collaborative working group of seven organizations representing the midwifery industry.
Midwifery associations and advocates are also charging US MERA with creating new barriers for ICTC's inclusion in a nearly year-long brouhaha that has already led to the high-profile resignation of the only woman of color on the committee.
US MERA steering committee members and its funder, The Transforming Birth Fund, have acknowledged that not including ICTC was an oversight. But instead of quickly correcting the matter, US MERA created new rules and guidelines for ICTC's application and admission, a process that has already taken nearly a year, and counting.
Earlier this month, the Midwives Association of Washington State sent a letter to US MERA calling for the immediate inclusion of ICTC "to begin to remedy the wrong done by initial omission and the ongoing wrongs constructed to justify the first." The letter also urged US MERA members to commit to facilitated, anti-racism work.
"We did not exclude them intentionally," says Mary Lawlor, the executive director of National Association of Certified Professional Midwives, and the only steering committee member of US MERA who agreed to be interviewed for this article. "We were thinking specifically to the responsibility to credentials."
"That was probably an oversight," says Betsy McNamara, consultant to The Transforming Birth Fund, a donor-advised fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, based in Concord.
Oversights happen. Any organization can have a "blind spot" about the critical role of diverse voices in making decisions that affect the future of maternity care options and untold numbers of women and babies.
But why–after nearly 10 months of having the oversight flagged and after ICTC has submitted all of the newly required forms–isn't the situation resolved?
No other member organization of the steering committee was subjected to such rigor. Or should I say rubbish.
ICTC is still waiting for its rightful seat at the table of the white-female dominated group. For many of us, the creation of inexplicable entry barriers for the one group representing women of color does not sit well.
For several months the Midwives Alliance of North America, or MANA, did what it could to ease the insult by inviting Monroe to use one of its seats on the US MERA steering committee. But when MANA prodded US MERA committee members to vote on granting ICTC a real seat, the vote was No.
Marinah Farrell, a Phoenix-based certified professional midwife, is MANA's president. After US MERA rejected ICTC's request to join the steering committee, Farrell shot a strongly worded letter of resignation to US MERA, saying she would no longer represent MANA on the committee. "As a woman of color–if they don't want the independent voices of people of color, then they don't have mine either," she said in a phone interview.
When US MERA formed in 2012 it had the notable goal of ending decades of unnecessary fragmentation in the midwifery sector. For years the midwifery industry has set boundaries and levels of professional "respect" based on how you became a midwife and where you practice. Certified nurse midwives who practice in and out of hospitals have their own organization. Certified professional midwives who practice outside that setting have another. Other distinctions, gradations and pay scales have created a dizzying alphabet soup.
US MERA was created with the grand idea that perhaps all these organizations, who serve mothers and babies could put their differences aside and reach some basic collaborative conclusions on accreditation and education, as a starting point for further consolidation.
Troubled Historical Relationship
However, when this leadership deliberately excludes voices of color it reeks of systemic racism, building more barriers when none should exist. This latest debacle is another sad story in the thickening chronicle of the troubled historical relationship between black midwives and white midwives in this country.
Despite a long history of midwifery in the black community, black women currently represent less than 2 percent of the nation's reported 15,000 midwives.
In a powerful and thorough doctorate dissertation entitled "Birthing, Blackness, and the Body: Black Midwives and Experiential Continuities of Institutional Racism, Keisha Goode explores "how a very racist and classist denigration of black midwives in the early 20th century is still manifesting itself in their experiences and perceptions of predominantly white midwifery education programs and professional organizations."
For years, midwives, who were mostly black, were a central part of birthing in this country. In the early 20th century, as birth became more medicalized, the obstetrics-gynecology specialty sought to advance and secure professional boundaries.
"Physicians began labeling the primarily immigrant and midwives of color (the majority of whom were black women) attending approximately 50 percent of the nation's births at the time as dirty, ignorant, evil and the like which had a profound effect in nearly eradicating midwifery. Despite a revival of midwifery during the 1960s and 1970s, 1 percent of today's United States births are attended by midwives, of which black midwives and black mothers are but a fraction of that 1 percent," Goode writes.
Worse Outcomes
Given that one of US MERA's stated goals is to create "a positive impact on U.S. maternity care that will improve the health of women and infants," it should be sure to prioritize representation from those who are suffering the most under the current system. Black women and infants continue to have the worst birth outcomes of any racial-ethnic cohort in the United States. Black women have the highest rate of preterm birth and low birth weight babies. Black women lose their babies at a rate that is almost 2.3 times greater than white women. Meanwhile, the black maternal mortality rate is 34 percent or three times that of white women. However, repeated studies show that midwives have been proven to have a positive impact on birth outcomes and improved breastfeeding rates.
Given these two key dynamics–at a time when midwifery and non-medicalized birth options are moving more into the mainstream of U.S. birthing culture–it is important for the midwifery industry to better represent the interests of black women and infants.
"As a British-trained midwife and a staunch supporter and believer in standards and regulation I couldn't be more thrilled to see the development of national and uniform American midwifery standards and education," says Jennie Joseph, a certified professional midwife and executive director of Common Sense Childbirth, a birth center and midwifery school in Winter Garden, Fla., in a phone interview. "But without embracing all stakeholders in the formation of such essential changes, I wonder if we might end up back where we started – without positively impacting maternity care in the USA at all?"
That would be the largest travesty.
African Americans have positively participated in birth work and contributed to infant health outcomes for centuries. When no one would touch our babies, black midwives did. When white women deemed themselves too posh to breastfeed their children, black women did; often to the detriment of our own babies. Black midwives have a rightful seat to represent the interests of black women and infants at any leadership table in the industry, without having to prove themselves to white-dominated establishments.
US MERA I implore you to do better. And faster.

I was so blessed to meet Brooke and Clayton through my good friend Bailey. While I was out of town, I saw on Facebook that Clayton had proposed and instantly knew that I needed to photograph them.
Because Brooke lives out of the state, she is only home occasionally, and we were able to set up a spur-of-the-moment engagement session, that turned out to be one of my favorites yet! I was in Colorado Springs at the time, and hurried home from over the mountains.
The three of us, plus their dog Rocky, (and my more-than-helpful assistant Logan) started at the Lunch Loops Trailhead, and walked/hiked/took photos along the way until we got to the very spot that Clayton had originally gotten down on one knee and asked Brooke to spend the rest of her life with him. Being in that spot was a little surreal, but Clayton had planned the spot perfectly, so that it is always easy to come back to reminisce. Follow along on our little sunset adventure through the images below!

Single Bunko Series 5 ~Shuushoku~ (シングル文庫 5 -- 就職)
by Masayuki Yamamoto, NBCUniversal Music Japan
The fifth entry in Masayuki Yamamoto's Single Bunko series. This entry shares the theme of departure and farewell as expressed in all four songs. This includes a cover of "Ashita Kara Yoso no Hito" by the popular Japanese band The Alfee that was supposedly going to be released along with "Fuchuu Torimono Hikae" (whom Yamamoto also did a cover) in December 1975, but it was scrapped; the original versions of both songs would be later released in honor of The Alfee's 40th...

Susquehanna-gou no Eikou (サスクハナ号の曳航)
A 22-minute "chouhen" single released on July 27, 1994, 13 days after Masayuki Yamamoto's 43rd birthday. The Susquehanna he was referring to is the USS Susquehanna, a navy ship launched in 1850 that made service in the mid-Atlantic region in the United States. However, the USS Susquehanna was made into a fictional story as the entire song centers on a young boy (possibly Yamamoto) and his dog Pisu. There are some Engrish dialogue around six minutes and 40 seconds in. At the time I...

Single Bunko Series 1 ~Namida no Curry Rice~ (シングル文庫 1 -- 涙のカレーライス)
The first ever entry in Masayuki Yamamoto's Single Bunko Series! All three tracks express Yamamoto's experiences evolving varieties of rice he loved to savor on, thus creating the Rice Series . The Rice Series also followed a similar melody within each song. These were not the first in this series; Yuujou no Ham Rice was actually the first to be officially released as part of his live album Aaah Garagara Don Don Don two years earlier. This is uploaded under entertainment purposes.

There's something deeply euphoric in the music of British songwriter/producer William Phillips, known to many simply as Tourist. The moniker initially a means to create behind the veil of anonymity, led Phillips to the forefront of an electronic zeitgeist — bridging the gap between electronics and human connection. Reminiscent of acts like ODESZA and Bob, Phillips music is a swirling swath of flurried synthesizers, emotional progressions and an everlasting nostalgia for things you may never have ever experienced. The strength of Phillips' success isn't simply the music itself, rather, how intimate and personal Phillips manages to make the entire listening experience feel.
Knowing his music and the personal connections and intimacy it fosters, it may come as no surprise, that Phillips began as a songwriter first and foremost. Phillips has written for acts like Kacy Hill and Jesse Ware, but winning a Grammy in 2015 for his work co-writing on Sam Smith's massive hit "Stay With Me," effectively forced Phillips out of the secrecy of his Tourist project, and into an artistic limelight of his own. Releasing his debut album U in 2016 sealed the deal. The sprawling project, based around his first relationship, reads like a diary entry. Vocal blips run across swelling beats, that feel more like orchestrations than four on the floor club bangers or earth-shattering big-house drops. His latest album, Everyday, released a couple of weeks ago, continues where U left off. In the same vein of personal accruements, Everyday is a project based squarely on his life and the soundscapes that illustrate it. Describing the approach to his latest project, illustrating life was the entire focus.
With Everyday, Phillips nails it and pushes the emotional core even further when it comes to his live performances.
Phillips will be hitting Larimer Lounge on Saturday, March 2 alongside Denver DJ, Details., for the promotion of Everyday. The singer/producer's live show is a high energy, pulsating, emotional joy ride, utilizing pads, triggers and samples. Tourist live truly brings his inward facing music full circle, pushing it outward onto others, the audience, who not only emphasize but perpetuate the emotionally-ridden crux, making for something special. Denver's Details., opening the performance, has opened for the likes of Moon Boots and Macklemore, amongst other large artists. His mix of everything from deep-house to hip-hop will set the stage perfectly for the driving force of Tourist.
Tourist will perform live at Larimer Lounge (2721 Larimer St, Denver, 80205) on March 2. Tickets for the upcoming performance are still available here.


JoJo Siwa will take the stage at City National Civic on May 21 2019 06:30:00 PM. The average ticket price for the upcoming show is around 47 at the moment.

China became subject to various Western influences in the nineteenth century. Conspicuous in the realm of technology was the transformation of printing from xylography to Western typography. The new method was introduced by Protestant missionaries and mainly by those of the London Missionary Society (LMS). The motive behind this transformation was their hope to print the Bible and by an adequate method, but later the impact of this technological change extended widely beyond religion, resulting in the burgeoning and rapid development of modern Chinese publishing enterprises, including newspapers, periodicals and books. Based mainly upon the LMS archives and the Chinese works printed by LMS missionaries, this study is a history of the LMS's printing presses, beginning with their establishment in the very early nineteenth century until their closure in 1873. The two principal themes in this study are: first, the missionaries' application of Western technology to Chinese printing; and secondly, the role and response of the Chinese to this transformation. Whilst trying to demonstrate the interaction between missionaries and natives in the process of change, an attempt is also made, in the context of contemporary China, to interpret how Western printing technology gradually gained influence in native minds. The printing press did not achieve as much as expected in helping to spread Christianity in China. However, the LMS missionaries were able to produce the first fount of Chinese type and raised Chinese awareness of its greater efficiency, compared with their thousand-year-old blocks, as an agent for the introduction of modern knowledge and as a means to transform their old society.
Keywords: Western technology; Christianity in China

The head of Singapore's central bank said he hoped the technologies underpinning cryptocurrencies such as blockchain would not be undermined by an eventual crash in the digital money.
The city-state has been positioning itself as a hub for fintech – or financial technology but has urged "extreme caution" about buying cryptocurrencies.
Menon added that he would not rule out the possibility of the MAS issuing a cryptocurrency directly to the public but that he was not sure it was a good idea.

What jobs can I get?
Well, you need to market yourself to any technically oriented situation. Do not be intimidated by job descriptions which seem to exclude you. Many positions described as engineering positions are very friendly to physicists and astronomers, both of whom generally have a high-tech skill set. The CofC Career Center, in room 216 Lightsey Center, has resources to help you search and apply for opportunities, as well as help with other aspects of the process.
Check out the national statistics on Who's Hiring Physics Bachelors? courtesy of the American Institute of Physics. Physics.org has a nice career browsing experience.
There are many opportunities for students who don't go on to do graduate work. You can capitalize on the public perception that people with physics degrees are fairly bright. Things to do with a bachelors degree include many engineering positions, technical sales, technical field representative, education, technical writing, medical equipment maintenance, repair or operation, computer programming, and technical support positions. We are pleased to help our students sell themselves in the job market. We can help you prepare resumes, write letters of recommendation, and inform you about the scientific aspects of a job you are interested in, which can be a big help when interviewing.
What some of our graduates say...
"...I got a very awesome perfomance evaluation at work (toot! toot!), mostly due to the fact that I've learned the true meaning of hard work and diligence at this job and also because my physics background has come in very handy to make me a stand-out in the realm of lab instrument troubleshooting. "
Another former student says..." I am making almost triple what I was before... some of the people teaching the orientation classes ask me for help and explanations, and these people have worked there for years. Needless to say I am the only physicist. Most everyone is a chemical, electrical or mechanical engineer".
From another graduate. . . "Yes, I love my job. We went to a robotics convention. . . I saw some pretty amazing automation stuff for the biotech world. I have learned a lot. I am doing my own thing here. . . I like being the only math and physics person in a sea of biologists and chemists."
Another student who has had several job interviews, and been offered each job says..."They hired me after interviewing several people with more experience...and making less money than me, but they wanted me because of my attitude!! ... Just like you said, people are impressed that an idiot like me has a physics degree, and don't give a rat's ass it's not in computer science."
If you love Astronomy but don't want to go on to graduate school, there are still exciting jobs out there. NASA and various other government-supported organizations often have support positions available to people with bachelor's degrees in physics or astronomy. You might be responsible for telescope operations or technical support at national (or semi-private) observatories, or take part in data acquisition, scheduling, archiving, and other technical support work for the larger NASA satellite-based astronomy programs, such as Hubble Space Telescope, AXAF and the Gamma Ray Observatory. Our faculty members will be happy to discuss options and give helpful feedback to enable you to submit targeted resumes and cover letters in the areas of your particular strengths and interests.
If you want to Teach
Our department has a long history of vigorous involvement with pre-college education. We want to spread the word about the opportunities we offer to future teachers who want to improve their knowledge and delivery of science. The job opportunities for teachers with strong science and math training are very good. To get a physics certification for secondary education you will need to complete the requirements for our BA in Physics program in addition to meeting the requirements of the School of Education. Most private schools do not require a teaching certificate, and in many cases public schools can hire technically-oriented teachers and postpone the need for a teaching certificate. Ordinarily you will be required to pursue a program leading to certification over the first couple of years of your employment in public schools. Several of our graduates in recent years have gone into very satisfying careers in public and private education.

Dr Maria Montessori was an inspirational woman who studied and analysed the world of a child, creating an approach towards their growth and education that incorporated every aspect of their development to allow each to fulfil their potential into adult life.
These exercises are enjoyable tasks based on day to day activities in the home. It promotes independence, co-ordination, fine and gross motor skills. It is through these exercises that your child will develop concentration and dexterity.
These activities will stimulate each of the senses and develop the child's ability to refine their senses, thus preparing the child for the later Montessori activities such as language and maths.
Reading is promoted by sound recognition and other phonic activities. When a child is ready they will start by being introduced to sandpaper letters, where the sounds are taught on an individual basis. They will then move onto the large moveable alphabet, where the child will build three and four letter words phonetically. The final stage when the child is ready is to begin reading Montessori scheme books.
When the child's interest in numbers has been developed the child with be introduced to the maths curriculum. This includes the five stages of maths activities, from the simple exercises to the more complex.
Children have the opportunity to develop their fine and gross motor skills within the Montessori curriculum. We set up activities indoors and outdoors, allowing the children to see the garden as a daily extension to the indoor classroom. This is part of the free flow environment.
The world is explored in many ways at the Little Learners. Our curriculum covers History, Zoology, Geography and Science. We also think it is important to celebrate varying festivals as well as children's birthdays.
At the Little Learners we have a special curriculum for babies and toddlers that incorporates aspects of the Montessori curriculum, such as practical life activities. For the younger babies we have heuristic play and treasure baskets for exploration of their senses. We also include activities such as classified cards, messy play, role play and physical play. We have a dedicated programme called 'Famly' which reports each individual child's routine to their parents directly through email.
