AsemconnectVietnam - Vietnamese ride-hailing firm FastGo plans to launch the country's first helicopter ride-sharing service in Hanoi this month, focusing on tourism in northern provinces.
CEO Nguyen Huu Tuat told VnExpress International that FastSky's first flight will take off on April 25.
With 12 passengers to a helicopter, FastSky will operate tours from Hanoi to northern tourist destinations such as the Red River and Ha Long Bay.
"Apart from SkyTour, we'll also operate SkyWedding services for wedding photography and SkySOS for emergencies in which helicopters will land on Hanoi skyscrapers to pick up patients," Tuat said.
Prices vary for each service. A tour will cost a minimum of $125 per person, which can be paid in installments over a period of 12 months.
Tuat said: "We offer premium services for businesspeople but also want everyone to have a chance to fly. FastSky will be a game-changer in the transport industry."
FastGo only provides technology solutions while helicopters and pilots are provided by a partner who is permitted to fly in Vietnam, he said, but declined to reveal the company's name.
FastGo began operations last June, a few months after Uber announced its exit from Southeast Asia.
The company, part of Vietnamese technology start-up NextTech Group, expanded to Myanmar last December.
It plans to launch operations in Singapore this month and in five other countries in the region, including Indonesia and the Philippines, by the end of the year.
With almost 60,000 drivers on board, the company claims to be the second most popular ride-hailing firm in Vietnam after Grab.


It's your hosts here! Atasi Das and LaToya Strong. If you are an educator, activist or lover of learning, check out this new podcast series. Abolition Science Radio is a bi-weekly podcast series investigating all things science and math and their relationship to colonialism, oppression, resistance, education and liberation.
In this episode, we introduce ourselves and discuss our ideas around science and mathematics in the classroom and in society.
LaToya (T): And, we're back. Well, we're back, [A: Yeah, We're back.] We're back. You're- if you're a listener, you're here for the first time. Uh, so this is our very first episode of our Abolition Science Radio.
Atasi (A): We're so excited.
T: We are super excited. Uh, we're gonna start off the way we intend to start off with all of our guests. Atasi why don't you tell us what you're listening to?
A: That's an interesting question because I think, uh, at the moment, I am not listening to music as much as I'm listening to podcasts. [T: Haha] And uh, I'm listening to like a lot of, YouTube videos on how to do a podcast. There's so many steps. But, yeah! That's what I'm listening to. What are you listening to?
T: Uh, also listening to a bunch of YouTube videos on how to edit Garage Band, but musically, um I've been listening to Blitz the Ambassador. He is someone that I constantly come back to. He's a Guinean American rapper based out of Brooklyn. Um, his rap, I guess you could classify as like pan-Africanism, he talks about a lot of social issues. Um, not a mumble rapper by any means. [A: Ha, a mumble rapper] Um, so check him out. Ha ha ha.
A: Cool. Well, today I think we're going to be talking a little bit about what this podcast series is about. Um, so, it's called Abolition Science. Um, what do you think about- what is- does it mean to you? What does Abolition Science mean?
T: Uh. It means- so I guess I first started developing these two terms together aft- at, was it 2016? 2015?
A: Yeah, 2015 I think.
T: Uh, after reading W.E.B. Du Bois's um, Reconstruction in America and he had this Abolition Democracy and I was like, ok what does this mean? Or what could it look like uh, for science? And so, just thinking that, not everyone benefits from what science is supposed to do. And not only do they not benefit, they're you know, the stepping stones to create, but they don't benefit from, so there's a lot of exploitation and oppression and so how do we dismantle this part of it and start to look to something that is liberatory for all people.
A: Yeah, uh, and- I think we've, we've talked since about 2015 around these um ideas, and looking critically at science and math. And how the discipline itself is so problematic in many ways but also, it includes so many, unrecognized or silenced aspects of knowing. So, for me Abolition Science is um, a position of, like really thinking through that. Um, critiquing and deconstructing. But it's also hopefully a project that you know there's things that we can do that we can actively be a part of in our communities, maybe in our teaching, um, and, I'm still figuring it out. Like, I'm- I'm you know, have been an educator, uh, in elementary classroom and have been thinking about science and math for some time. Not just science and math, like, I wouldn't say I have that hat solely. [T: Ha ha ha] But, uh, yeah, I think Abolition Science is this possibility of radically rethinking and redoing how we engage and how we understand science and math. And it's- and for the purpose of - of, um, like human life. Of, of, making it, uh, a more just and a, um, just something that we want for ourselves and our children and our future generations and so. Yeah, that's what, that's where I am right now.
T: Cool, so we have Abolition Science as a stance and a project. And the podcast is part of this project. So can we delve into a little bit more of the nitty gritty. When we talk about, you know, these issues within science and math that need to be dismantled. Uh, do you wanna start off with, since you do more math, um, and talk to us a little bit about that?
A: Yeah. So, um, what- when I'm talking about mathematics, um, I know it's mm- typically thought of as- in terms of, um, oh man. Ha, it's typically thought of in terms of, um, formulas and algorithms and you know, graphing calculators and, I've been trying to think of mathematics more from the position of really it's like a way of understanding and knowing the world around us. Uh, a way of interpreting it, a way of explaining and doing something, and at this moment, and that- and that is historical. It's like a very social, a political and a historical process. Mathematics, isn't one thing, it's not coming from only Greece. You know there's like mathematical practices all over the world and so people have been thinking about how to make sense of the realities around them for the purposes of how they related to them- each other and in nature, in the en- in the environment. So, I'm coming from that standpoint of mathematics as being this social practice. That's what I mean by that, and um, it's really diverse. So that, you know, it's not only like there's one way of doing mathematics or thinking of mathematics or what it- or defining what it is, but, it's uh, because it's so contextual, because it has to do with humans making sense, interpreting, explaining, and acting in the world, um, it's something that also changes. And, I wanna think about how is math a part of a, a kind of change, a social change that benefits most of humanity as opposed to right now, which I feel like, it's really about a hyper-exploitation and control of bodies and human life, globally. And, many people of color, particularly.
T: Yeah, uh, you. Uh, gave us a lot to think about but I wanna hone in on one particular thing that you said and that was the math as a social practice. And I'm thinking about my own students and when I was a student and going through the math classes and you'd inevitably always hear, 'well, what am I gonna use this for?' [A: Mhmm.] Like, I still, I still have not used many many many of the things I've learned in math in math class and so you're saying we need to shift how we're thinking about math and make it more relatable?
T: So, even down to how we're even understanding what math is needs to shift?
A: Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think it, it really. There's such a power. I mean- I really- from elementary students to adults, there's such a fear around mathematics and around numbers themselves that you're categorized as either being um, proficient and by proficient it's like you dominate, like you can control and do things. Or, you're, you're like drowning. You know, like, 'I just don't get this.' You know, like 'Don't explain it to me'. And I think that, that's something that's really problematic. Like, why, why does that either/or thing, like you're either 'Yeah, I got this' or 'I don't' exist. [T: Mhmm] So, I wanna investigate that and I think, I think that that's also a part of this project in thinking of what's an Abolition Science. Yeah. Well, what about for you? How would you- how do you think about science?
T: Uh, so I- I really tried to understand like, the science that we practice today rooted in it's historical birthing, ha, I guess you could say. Um, and I think the world could have taken many paths in regards to how we understand and explore like, natural and biological um, occurrences or phenomenon, but because western modern science was so entangled with colonialism and imperialism, um, we've had only one re- like, one trajectory in which we consider a valid way to produce um, knowledge. Or to understand, or to understand the world. Uh, so, what I'm really trying to make a distinction between is what I like to think about as like 'big S' Science and 'little s' science. And I think cultures around the world historically and currently and presently all practice elements of science, but these practices that they have are connected to the needs and wants of that particular culture or society. But, these practices have historically and currently, you know, they get labeled as- as, you know, subjective. You know, if we think about traditional healing practices, they get labeled as traditional healing practices, um, and as something that is subjective or culture-based whereas western modern science um, gets to be objective uh, and doesn't ever have to contend with the culture that is western modern science. And we look at the culture of western modern science, it's embedded in colonialism and imperialism and capitalism, so all these, you know, all this modernity that science was supposed- that science should have given us, not everyone benefits from. Um, and so, who gets science practiced on them and who benefits from science are not the same. So, if science was this truly universal thing, the risks and the benefits of what happens would be distributed equally across all people. Uh, and it's not.
A: So interesting that you, when you're talking about it right now, um, it's- it, you're really helping me think through this idea of like, and object- you know, like the labeling of objective science and subjective science and so, can you tell me- uh- like, talk a little bit more about the different, like how- how do you differentiate how that's labeled. I'm not sa- I don't think, that you're saying that there is an objective and a subjective science and what does that have to do with culture? Like, what is? Yeah.
T: Yeah, I mean, science is- it's neutral. It's objective. You know, I think Neil De Grasse, he- he has this quote. What is the quote? It's like, it's something along the lines of 'the beautiful thing about science is that it's true whether you believe in it or not.' Um, but what western modern science does and all the proponents of western modern science have been really good at is not understanding the culture that western modern science is embedded in. And so we can't talk about science without talking about capitalism. We can't talk about science without talking about colonialism. We can't talk about, um, science, without talking about imperialism. Um, and so science is, uh subjective. It's just that we've all been taught and learned, and it's been indoctrinated in us, that it's objective and it's these other things that are, um, subjective. So if science had a different culture, maybe the world would look different. So maybe if science, if the purpose of- if the purpose and the culture of science was about uh, the liberation of all people of the well-being of all people and all, and the planet and all living things, we would be somewhere different than where we are.
A: Yeah. And, it's a, I- I think that uh, yeah it really helps me think about what I mean when I say culture. And I think, there's similarly, cause I heard you say thing like culture as it, as it's like, imperialism steeped in colonialism, so it's like how do people relate to one another? [T: Mhmm, absolutely.] Cause I think, you know, for example, in schools, when you talk about culture, it's really about, I mean it focuses on elements like music and art, which are expressions. But it's'- which have a, a connection to the rela- those deeper relations but, I think that we're really coming at this as looking at culture as, like what are those relations between, between groups of humans? [T: Absolutely.] And the created groups, yeah.
T: Absolutely, that's the other thing that western modern- so it disconnects itself from like, here's the sciences and there are the arts. Whereas for many cultures, it's like all these things are entangled and connected together cause how can you compartmentalize the society in which you, in which you live?
A: Right. So, I'm excited cause we get to explore this.
T: Yeah, I'm excited too!
A: And, uh, hopefully, we'll cre- we'll come back together to talk about how um, some of our guests um, and people who are practicing and thinking about similar things help- that we help each other kinda help define and craft what we're gonna do in this project of Abolition Science. So..great.

Q: searchSite - responds with a File not found I'm using the postman extension for chrome and trying to work with the yodlee.com 'searchSite' endpoint. I enter the cobSessionToken and the userSessionToken however I'm not too sure about what to enter in the 'siteSearchString' parameter. It seems like whatever I enter just returns with a
File Not Found
The requested web page was not found on this server. Please use the back button and try again.

Is it usual with the sample test case that you provide with the account to have such error? Every other step seems to be working fine except for this "searchSite."

A: The 'siteSearchString' is what bank you want to search for. An example search string that should work is 'wells' which should return several results for Wells Fargo.
Instead of using postman, I would recommend using  https://developer.yodlee.com/TestDrive which will let you fill in the parameters, provide suggested values for the parameters, and view the json results of the REST request.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the upcoming film produced by Guillermo del Toro, will feature Lana Del Rey's new cover of Donovan's 1966 folk-rock hit "Season of the Witch." A snippet of the cover can be heard in the latest trailer for the film, while the song's full debut will coincide with the movie's theatrical release this Friday, August 9th.
"I have admired Lana's music for a while now and felt in my gut that she would run with 'Season of the Witch' — that she would use her alchemy to transform it," said del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) in a statement. "She is a great artist and has been an amazing partner with us in this adventure. It is an honor for me to have met her."
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is based on the series of the same name by Alvin Schwartz. It's directed by André Øvredal from a screenplay by Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman, and a screen story by del Toro, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. The film is set in 1968, two years after Donovan released "Season of the Witch."
On Tuesday, August 6th, Del Rey will help honor del Toro at his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. She's currently promoting her forthcoming album Norman Fucking Rockwell, and recently announced the first leg of her North American tour.

Urban artists create murals using the graffiti technique, this to demonstrate their support for medical personnel during the health crisis.
Art has made it possible to capture important facts, thoughts, and reflections throughout human history, leaving a record for future generations. The interpretation of art can be carried out in any language and that is why it transcends both space and time. In 2018, researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa found a Paleolithic stone with human made painting, that is estimated to have been recorded around 73,000 years ago. Since then, art, along with humanity, has evolved and allows us to better understand which were the most relevant issues in each era.
Today the COVID-19 pandemic unleashes a new wave of art that communicates the thoughts of humanity regarding the virus and its effects on our society. Artists have gone out of their way to show how people cope with this health emergency. The image of the virus has become (pun intended) something viral, which floods canvases, photographs, social networks and even the walls of the street with graffiti. This COVID art tsunami, like the virus, knows no borders and can be seen in every corner of our planet.
At "El Bosque de Chapultepec" you can appreciate the tribute to health personnel: "Heroines and Heroes of COVID-19": a collection of photographs that are been exhibited on the grille that surrounds the emblematic Mexico.

"150 Years Later: Lee's Lasting Vision" is New Exhibition at Lee Chapel and Museum
"150 Years Later: Lee's Lasting Vision," Lee Chapel and Museum's new changing exhibition, will mark the 150th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's inauguration as the 11th president of Washington College, which took place on Oct. 2, 1865.
The exhibit opened on Oct. 1 and runs through Aug. 31, 2016. It summarizes Lee's accomplishments that led to today's Washington and Lee University, information that complements the museum's long-term exhibition: "Not Unmindful of the Future: Educating to Build and Rebuild a Nation."
Objects on view include items that are not normally on display because of their fragility, including a vest and tie worn by Lee. Also featured is a portrait of Lee as president by Cephus Giovanni Thompson, on loan by an alumnus, as well as Lee's original oath of office, on loan from the Leyburn Library Special Collections and Archives.
"This changing exhibition has given the museum the opportunity to showcase objects that are rarely on view," said Pat Hobbs, associate director of University Collections. "Lee's vest, for example, has not been on display for at least twenty years. It was conserved for this exhibition thanks to a generous gift from the Virginia Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy."
Until Nov. 1, Lee Chapel hours are Mondays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. and Sundays, 1–5 p.m. From Nov. 1-March 31, hours will change to Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m. and Sundays, 1–4 p.m.

Long-term debt held by Scotland's 32 councils is £11.5billion
Wed 16 Nov, 2016
Given the crisis facing local authority finances, it's unacceptable that councils are using Council Tax revenue to deal with historic debts that enrich private banks and the UK Treasury. Patrick Harvie MSP
Scottish Green MSPs today (16 Nov) published a report revealing the scale of long-term debt being held by Scotland's 32 local authorities - a total of £11.5billion.
In many cases, councils are spending more than half of the money they bring in from Council Tax simply to pay interest on debts including loans from the UK Treasury and private banks.
The Green MSPs are calling for the debts to be written off, so that local authorities can focus their resources on protecting public services.
The report, Local Government Debt in Scotland, uses data compiled by People vs PFI and Debt Resistance UK and shows that some councils are facing up to nine per cent interest rates, finding themselves trapped after taking out high-risk loans from private banks.
In 2015-16 Scottish local authorities spent almost £1billion on repayments to the Public Works Loan Board of the UK Treasury and still owe the Board a total of almost £9billion.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) spends over 100 per cent of its Council Tax revenue servicing its debts. Clackmannanshire, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire councils all spend at least half of their Council Tax revenue servicing debt.
The report also finds that Scotland has the highest proportion of PFI/PPP debt per person in the world.
Patrick Harvie MSP, Finance spokesperson for the Scottish Greens, said:
"Given the crisis facing local authority finances, it's unacceptable that councils are using Council Tax revenue to deal with historic debts that enrich private banks and the UK Treasury. The unethical nature of the loans from private banks justifies cancellation of these payments, and the Westminster Government should write off council debts to end the unfair squeeze on local services.
"We must also improve oversight so that our local authorities aren't forced into such high-risk financing in future. A Scottish Government-controlled Loans Board would offer greater stability and value, and I would encourage Scottish Ministers to explore the idea."

I opened a boardgame shop in Slovakia and took 365 plays in a year challenge!
It was the end of a year 2012 when we agreed with a friend of mine that it is right time to open the second FLGS for his company www.iHRYsko.sk.
The first one he runs in Bratislava (capital). I opened the second one in Banská Bystrica, small and beautiful town in the heart of Slovakia.
We run 3 boardgame clubs a week and I noticed that I play many more boardgames than I used to. Don't get me wrong I used to play a lot, especially because we share this hobby with my wife. But in one moment I realized that I play at least one game per day.
So with 1.1.2013 I started to keep track of my plays and I wondered if I am able to hit 365 plays in a year.
Well, I managed to cross that line tonight exactly after 8 months.
These are the games I played.
We love this game. It's our favourite card game at the moment. We own the nice looking IELLO version + we've just got Echoes expansion that adds tons of new cards.
It also helped that we held a 7W tournament in our shop some weeks ago, otherwise this game would end up with 15 playes or so.
One of the things we like about games is when they narrate a story. And that's what this game does the best. We love Tolkien's books, cooperative games, deck-building games, fantasy CCGs, good illustrations + games that are difficult. This game has it all! It will cost us fortune to complete it but this together with War of the Rings: Collectors Edition are two games we will never get rid of.
This is one of few games on this list my wife hasn't played yet, but knowing how much she likes Battlestar Galactica, I know she will like this one too.
We play it a lot in different clubs and it's just fun. I am only dissapointed how quickly the tiles wore off.
I'm not a MtG player as you can say from the number of plays. Still I enjoy a good draft amateurish tournament or a friendly duel here and there.
What a great filler! Everyone loves it. If I had them I would sell dozens of these. It's a shame it's so hard to get these days.
After first play I was dissapointed. I was warned this game was designed so that also kids can enjoy it and it felt like it is way too easy. Oh how wrong was I, this game is tough to beat and I love it! We finally mnanaged to rescue Meeps and there is more to come!
I don't mind replaying the same scenarios over and over again (only the first one is too long for an introductory game).
This was a pleasant surprise of this year for me.
Another great filler game. It will be published in czech language soon so I think I will see it more often on the table in future days.
A big hit among teenagers in their clubs.
Unpublished Prototype stands mostly for Vlaada Chvatil's Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends we were testing through-out the year. I'm constantly surprised how different are Vlaada's designs. This one we like a lot and it will easily become one of our favourite games.
It will be published soon so you can start looking forward to it. I wish I could tell you more but I am sure guys and girls from CGE will flood you with more informations soon.
I'm still not decided if I like the game or not. I played so far only with pre-constructed decks and it felt too random for my taste at times. Still it has a great atmosphere to it and when we played close match I liked it a lot.
Did I tell you we like cooperative games that narrates some story? We like this one in coop mode. Sometimes it drags for too long (especially with expansions) but it is still one of our favourites!
My new favourite civilisation game.
Probably the only abstract game in this list. I re-themed it, so instead of grasshoppers there mages teleporting themselves across the field, instead of ants there are assassins etc. and we play it often in tavern during our LARP games.
The longer I play this game the worse I play it. Still lots of fun.
One of my favourite bluffing games.
Very light and easy game which was fun to play with adults.

We moved pretty quickly North keeping just ahead of the tornadoes. Insecurity is overnighting it in a motor home during a tornado alert. We did encounter high winds and were deluged with rain on several occasions. In Virginia, one of the most interesting and beautiful states we have visited, we spent two nights in Louisa so we could see what they have done to Madison's Monticello. A few years ago the interior was torn apart to return it to its state during the time Dolley and James lived there. Still not much furniture but the walls were finished and token pieces loaned by Colonial Williamsburg to give dimension to the rooms. They have a good visitors center with a movie giving the history. Madison deserves his share of top billing with our Founding Fathers. Also, he took notes during the secret sessions of discussions while they were writing our constitution. The only notes that were saved! We can see how they arrived at The Document as it stands.
I recommend, while you are in the area, The Hunt Country Deli on the outskirts of Charlottesville. They make great sandwiches and salads. Stop in for a cup of coffee and… sit out on the patio, check out the map of the area painted on the wall and tell Nancy the owner operator that Aunt Susan sent you. The deli,aptly named, it is in the gorgeous rolling hills of the wine and horse farm region with the palatial homes and grazing ponies dotting the meadows and wide angle views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Anyone remember the old song-In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on the trail of the lonesome pine…?


Terrorism is one of the main challenges and serious threats to global peace, the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Monday.
In a message on the first International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to, the Victims of Terrorism, August 21, the UN chief said, 'From Tajikistan to the United Kingdom, from Baghdad to Barcelona, these ruthless attacks have shaken us all to the core.
Referring to the terrorist attack on UN office in Iraq in 2003 that left Twenty-two people killed, he noted that peacekeeping missions have been consistently under threat.
The secretary general called for support and assistance for victims of terrorism as ways of challenging the narrative of hatred and division that terrorism aims to spread'.


Gold Silver Bitcoin is the name of the company that is publicizing a way out for college students who have humongous student debts to pay. According to the company, digital currency can be a part of the solution, as the number of North-American graduates who have fallen behind on their student loan payments has reached a record.
A report from the US Department of Education says that, in the third quarter of 2012, 11 percent of payments on student loans were 90 days or even more past due and were considered "seriously delinquent". The document also announced that almost 30 percent of young adults with ages between 20 and 24 years old in the USA didn't have a job or attended school.
Unfortunately, a college diploma "no longer guarantees a direct pathway to the middle class", said Jack Buckley, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, the agency from the Department of Education responsible for the report.
But now there might be a light at the end of the tunnel, as Gold Silver Bitcoin makes its triumphal entry in the scene, claiming its foundation happened "with the needs of the future investor in mind".
The service says that Bitcoin is "what the modern precious metals investors needed as it offers privacy and can also be used as payment to anyone, anywhere in the world, instantly".

I am done with your sickness being a part of me.
You did unfathomable things to me and proceeded to continue with my sister.
Your seed of shame is taking it's toll on my sanity.
I am finding it even difficult to look at people in the eye because of my shame; the shame you placed on me.
I am done with it! You don't own me!
Why are you still part of me?


Geno might not give the Jets a better chance to win right now. Then again, he might. Smith provides the Jets with a much greater upside than Sanchez does. It's not like we're talking about the choice between Geno and, say, Alex Smith – someone who could provide the Jets with ball control and a limited amount of turnovers, allowing the running game and defense to win games for them. We're talking about a quarterback in Sanchez who has the downside of a gunslinger (turnovers) without the upside of making big time throws and game-changing plays. Even in his 5th year as an NFL starting quarterback, he still makes reads, decisions, and throws that no one with his level of experience should be making.
There's nothing Sanchez can do that Geno Smith can't. He hasn't shown the ability to make complex reads or stick throws into tight windows on a consistent basis throughout his career. He lives in the middle of the field, often opting for the check down before downfield routes have even had a chance to develop. Somehow, he still manages to turn the ball over at an excessive rate. At very least, Geno Smith is certainly capable of dumping the ball off. He also offers the ability to push the ball downfield as well as create with his legs.
No one should expect Geno Smith to have an enormous year. There will be growing pains. However, the Jets have already strongly indicated that Sanchez will not be their quarterback of the future. So right now, they need to know exactly what they have in Geno Smith, and that won't happen just by monitoring his practice reps. They need to see how he deals with the ebbs and flows of a 16-game NFL season, both physically and mentally. By next offseason, they must know where they stand as a franchise with their young quarterback.


On March 24, Dr. Xavier Emmanuelli held a conference at the MosGu University (University of Humanity and Science) in front of 200 students.
Then, on March 27, he went to Saint-Petersburg where he led, at the French Institute, a conference on the methodology for working with homeless people. He also visited the "Notchlejka" organization which provides a shelter for homeless people in the capital city of the North.
Dr. Emmanuelli insisted on the importance of sharing experiences on an international scale in order to find the best solutions and approaches to the battle against social exclusion.


Watch Ra read two of the poems from her new book.
Ra was born in Seoul, South Korea, lived in California from age 1 to 7, then returned to South Korea for high school before coming back stateside for college. In addition to Whitman, she has studied English literature at the University of Oxford.
Ra said she cannot remember a time when she hasn't wanted to write.
She began writing poetry in high school, where she discovered female poets like Sarah Kay, Sylvia Plath and Anna Kamienska.
"Once I grew intimate with poetry, its mystery, its love lines and capacity for saying the most painful truths with slant honesty, I've never been able to wade out of its waters," Ra said.
Her experience at Whitman, including membership in Poems Club, further informed and inspired her passion for writing verse.
In 2016, Ra was one of the representatives for Whitman at CUPSI, a college union slam poetry competition, and one of their group pieces was selected for the final stage.
Ra would like to continue writing after college.

>> we are inside the santa fe depot in san bernardino. local historyhe of the valley. this was constructed in 1916. this replace the wooden structure that burned in 1916. why it was built a lot larger than it was needed was it was decided to house at the division headquarters at this location at that time. so it was put in an industrial area a cousin of the railroad. there were a number of businesses that supported the railroad, and it had close to 2000 people employed here. in separatewo yours dino, the a -- san bernardino, the a yard and the d yard. the upper part of the map shows the office facilities, and the lower part of the map shows the
shop facilities. they could rebuild any locomotive and any street car or anything that they needed to maintain the railroad, could be done here. some of the items down here, and old santa fe lincoln pen. some measurement devices that they used in the machine shops. two boiler plates off of locomotives and in the next case, the products that were all reduced at the shopping or. shop here.- atht the there were 26 passenger trains a day that came through san bernardino, 13 eastbound, 13 westbound. the whale rate passenger service was the only way to commute from the east to the west and now, that has sort of been taken over by airports.
but the bigger the depot, the bigger the trains they had, they could accommodate a lot of people, they have restaurants and other services. houses, thisrvey was a harvey house that could accommodate people 24 hours a day with a u-shaped lunch counter and in the other one, there was a more deluxe dining area that could accommodate dinners.
depot restaurant in topeka, kansas for the santa fe railway. eventually, he took over and was also responsible for a lot of the food that was served out of the dining cars. we have a lot of different china here from different locations along the harvey routes. we had silverware that has fred harvey on it, we have a milk bottle by fred harvey because they produced milk, and we have some menus and other artifacts here. also in the area, there is a two-story structure that has 12 bedrooms where the harvey girls would stay. the harvey girls, they had their certain uniforms that they used. they weren't waitresses, they were the weaknesses of the harvey house. if you were a harvey girl, we were told, you had to live here and you were not supposed to date. don: well, right now we are in a replica of the wayside station where they had to communicate with the moving trains. all of the stations, were ever there was a major siding, had to comedic it to the depots through the bay window just like this. would sitoperator right here and whatever the dispatcher had to order for them
for the train it was coming in either direction, he would get a and theyhe operator would copy in order on this form to issue instructions to the train about meeting and passing other trains or other thing respecting track conditions where it was necessary to slow down. before the advent of the telephone, they always -- the train order operator always had to use the morris keep -- morse key, and when the morse was being sent, the operator had to type up the orders for the train. here,lights you see up this was to let the train order operator know when the train was
approaching. light went out or either light went out, it told the operator that the train was about six miles away and the train order operator would then get a hold of the dispatcher and let the dispatcher know in case the dispatcher had any orders for the train. if the dispatcher had orders, and if the train order operator these handles were at stop and these handles remained at stop unless the dispatcher had an order. if there was no order, then the train order operator would pull this back and give the train a clear signal and then that meant that the train could go without stopping, otherwise they would have to stop and receive orders.
if the dispatcher had orders for the train, the train order operator would type them up, pull them up, and put them in this hoop. by,then when the train came he would hold it up and the engineer, the brakemen, or the firemen would scoop this up. ctc: this is called a machine, made by union break and signal in the 1950's. used by thee dispatchers in southern california and it would control fresno on dissent and stockton on that end. is you can sees that there is a mainline here all the way through it and it keeps track of where the trains are and it allows the train withtcher to make meets other trains going in the opposite direction or to talk slowerher trains going
and it is controlled with these levers, these upper and lower, these switches control each end. and the next row are the signals that would work each end, and there are signals on each end. they don't control. they line up in accordance with what these control signals are doing and it is a more efficient way to meet fast trains before they used the telegraph office where there used to be in office like that in each one of these towns along the way. and they would get train orders, a written train order, to tell them where to meet or to pass and give them options and here, the dispatcher just makes an option by aligning the signals and switches and the trains would receive the signal upon indication. don: santa fe moved out on the in the early 90's.

I must admit, I wasn't using Maemo email client, because I did find it was simply unusable, at least with my GMail account.
I tried both POP3 and IMAP, but having about 25.000+ messages in my account, downloading just the headers was a job that the client simply couldn't manage.
Yesterday I knew about "recent mode" support in POP3, a functionality that GMail supports too. This mode allow you to download only last 30 days messages (in my case, no more than 1000) so the client can manage them without any problem.
All you have to do to enable this mode is put the "recent:" string before the username. For example: if your username is "[email protected]" you have to write "recent:[email protected]". Important: this mode only works with POP3, not with IMAP.
To conclude, let me say thank you to the kind guy who let me discover this mode. Thank you Sergio! Now there is another thing I can do with my tablet!

Pennywise – From The Ashes – Review
March 1, 2004 Bands, CDs, Punk/Power Pop Review, Reviews
From The Ashes (Epitaph)
by Ewan Wadharmi
In the category of 8th wave baseball cap punk revival, Pennywise are elder statesmen. After all, when they formed, champion skateboarder Ryan Sheckler was still just a grind to his daddy's rail. (Insert lipslide to frontside joke.) And while they lack the hooks of Face To Face and the humor of NOFX, you can't fault them for energy. Drummer Byron McMackin in particular is increasingly astounding, making a fierce racket, and making it look effortless. But ask Ten Foot Pole if stellar drumming makes a band great. The musicianship is above reproach. Frantic, but as a tight-knit group. Like criminally insane conjoined triplets. The songs, however, are very similar, and bear a striking resemblance to previous albums.
The velocity is respectable, but with few exceptions ("God Save the USA" and "Something to Change"), you'll find the same rhythms and riffs on a Thin Lizzy or Bon Jovi record. Less punk than punky. This stepped-up hard rock has Jim Linberg's deliberate singing draped across the measures. The biteless vocals never seep into the music itself. There's no threat, and that cripples the songs. At best, Lindberg growls with the dissonance of Suicidal Tendencies' Mike Muir.
Expanding on the political whistle-blowing of Land of the Free?, Pennywise try to answer what to do in the aftermath. Their mission to heal a nation's wounds is noble, and perhaps this is a drop that can help fill the bucket. But the better-than-average lyrics point to matters of significance while rarely touching the dirty things. "This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system/ this is the result of our reckless ambition/ the castles we have built have all become our prisons." If clichés are your thing, let's make more songs, books, concerts, and Olsen twins movies called "Holiday in the Sun." Stop already.
Pennywise is a decent band that could do with some more flavor. If Lindberg paid attention to what they're doing, perhaps they'd let him join them.

The Draft – In a Million Pieces – Review


It was a sunny Saturday afternoon where most people go out shopping anddo some other extracurricular stuff, and I had to be on time for my appointment at 3:30 sharp. I went up a third floor apartmensomewhere in the down town streets of Asmara to find Michael Adonay, one of the most prominent and leading painters in Eritrea. He was there in his studio with his very close friend staring at each other's eyes.
His friend was staring deep with a frowned face but Michael's eyes were darted at his friend with great care and amazing skill. His friend was not just an ordinary person, rather a young Kunama in a painting. I entered his studio in the middle of his work but the painting was almost finished. It looks so real I said to him, and Michael said, "this is what you call realism", that was an interesting way of introducing me to his friend, which he later told me that he kept him company for over 20 days.
Michael Adonai was born in 1962 and joined the liberation struggle in 1977 when he was 14. During his childhood, Michael used to play with brushes and water colors because his older brother Berhane was one of the renowned artists in the early 70s. Michael says that his brother was his inspiration in the field of art. When he joined the revolution, Michael was sent to a camp of young recruits, where he found the opportunity to further enhance his basics in the arts. Besides, while taking his academic studies at Comboni middle school in Asmara, he took drawing as a subject.
Art is all about passion and state of mind but your eyes should not be confined. One needs to have a broader view of the world to be a great painter. When it comes to talent, most artists during the struggle were gifted, but they lacked exposure to the world. The only thing they saw was the struggle and the only thing they reflected was what they saw around them.
By 1986, Michael became one of the best painters in the revolution and he initiated connections with foreign painters that came to teach. But the very decisive juncture for Michael's artistic work was 1989 when he moved to the highlands. He said, "It opened my eyes to the rest of the world", the lifestyle, the demography and setting in the highlands is very different from the heart of the revolution, which was in the Sahel region. At that point in time, Michael saw paintings in monasteries and was amazed, which led to his inspiration to have a Coptic semi-abstract inclination in his work.
Michael says, "Art is a reflection of what you see in your environment", in that sense, Michael started reflecting what he saw in the monastery paintings and even the features he came across in the highlands, which might have lifted his creativity in his field. By then, he had become one of the leading artists and the paintings he drew in the late 80s and early 90s are masterpieces to this time.
Apart from painting, Michael also has a talent in the field of literature. He had his base during the 70s where he wrote small stage dramas for his school and in fact has his record in the revolution for writing the first published book of original work, which was titled Ab Igri Ta Abay Kewhi, (At the foot of the Great Rock). Later after independence, Michael published his first novel, which was called Mesakuti Mai Mne, (The gates of Mai Mne), which he says was "A flashback of my experience in the highland areas of the Mai Mne village". Although Michael was sent to the area in 1989 to do his painting work, he yearned to conduct a research concerning the militia bandits dispatched in the area.
Michael is not just an artist, he is a well read and very well informed about many things that happen around the world. He dropped out of school to join the liberation struggle, yet he managed to read lots of things starting from Russian literature to a number of academic materials. Accordingly, he joined the University of Asmara after independence, dropped out again from his sophomore studies for different reasons.
Anyone with a little knowledge about painting would just pick out Michael's painting from a thousand different paintings. I thought his style was different from the others, but Michael gave me broader overview of what style means when it comes to painting. He says, "Style is a philosophy of life", it means defying the conventional way and coming up with a new one. By then one could claim of a new style. "But what we do here is" Michael says, "Select a style of some particular great painter of all times and give it our own elements to reflect one's own character". Only few great painters such as Pablo Picasso have had that gift to come up with a certain style.
We had our very casual conversation for around one hour and I came out enlightened about the real meaning of painting and my passion to admire if not to paint grew very high. Indeed, the young Eritrean artists have a lot to learn from the great artists such as Michael and even he believes that the growing talents need to follow a certain track in the field to achieve their desires.

Sun, surf, relaxation and creativity – all of these are synonymous with the name Byron Bay, a laid-back tourist mecca that's one of Australia's top destinations for local and overseas visitors looking to experience a heady mix of beachy indulgences, cultural intrigue, and some of the best nightlife our vast country has to offer. Captain Cook thought it was worthy of a visit way back in 1770 and for decades now many writers, artists, filmmakers and other creative individuals have made Byron Bay their home. Is it time you discovered the delights of Byron Bay?
Byron Bay may have a population of around 30,000, but in summertime you'll be forgiven for thinking that it's twice that. While relatively balmy enough all year around, Byron Bay becomes nothing less than a tourist idyll in the summer months. Holidaymakers include couples looking for a romantic getaway, groups of friends looking for fun and adventure, those looking to rejuvenate the spirit, and families looking for a location that will please everyone.
A natural amusement park, Byron Bay offers sights and activities galore, with something to pique the interests of the most august culture lover right through to the gnarliest of surfer dudes. Nature lovers will get their fix of all things sun and sand, and can take their pick from natural delights including pristine beaches lapped by rolling waves, the arcing tails of huge whales, the lush and fragrant local flora, and the binocular-worthy native fauna. Sporty types will pass their days surfing, swimming, diving, and cycling, while arts and culture lovers will find themselves thumbing through thick lists outlining the array of festivals, events, retreats, and exhibitions that occur in Byron Bay throughout the year.
When it comes to wining, dining, and setting your head to rest, Byron Bay doesn't disappoint. This on-the-pulse city boasts an impressive array of global eats ranging from cheap snacks to fine dining, and its bars run the gamut from your casual and familiar corner pub to up-market lounges serving up some of Australia's best vino and brews. Accommodation options abound: whether you're in need of somewhere to pitch your tent or a pitcher for your champagne, you'll find it in Byron Bay.


INJURY-PLAGUED chaser Coneygree could return at Down Royal in November.
The 11-year-old has been off the track since being pulled up with a wind problem in the Ladbrokes Trophy nearly 10 months ago.
In 2015, he became the first novice in 41 years to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
He has suffered several setbacks since then, including a stress fracture of his tibia earlier this year.
However, Sara Bradstock, wife of trainer Mark, is confident he will be fit to tackle the JNWine.com Champion Chase on 3 November.
Bradstock said: "Coneygree is in good form and there's a few different approaches we're taking to try and keep him sound.
"Everything is going well at the moment anyway, so fingers crossed it stays that way.
"When they've had a stress fracture like he did you can't completely let them down.
"You have to be a bit careful, but he went out in the field for two weeks and he's now back in fast work."
She continued: "I think we're probably going to start him off going right-handed, to take some pressure off his left-hind leg.
"We could look at Down Royal, or there's the open handicap at Ascot on the same day - the Sodexo Gold Cup.
"The only thing is you'd probably need a lot of rain to be running him in England, which is why we're thinking Down Royal might be more suitable.
"If he goes lame again then we'll retire him, but everything is going well at the moment, so fingers crossed it stays that way."
Bradstock also provided a positive update on the bet365 Gold Cup winner Step Back, with an ambitious campaign being planned for the eight-year-old.
She said: "He's really good and I think we're learning to deal with the tying up (muscle cramp) problems he's had in the past.
"The Grand National is the long-term target and we'll keep our options open in terms of where we start off.
"Whether we go for the Hennessy (Ladbrokes Trophy) or the Becher Chase, we'll see.
"It will slightly depend on the ground, so we'll see what happens."


Of all the materials offered in the door and window market, wood is without a doubt the one with the most character. While wood has good insulating properties in general, its energy efficiency varies literally from tree to tree. Most wood doors and windows are made from resinous trees, such as pine, western hemlock, Douglas fir or cedar, all of which are hard and dense, offering good dimensional stability. Hardwood, such as oak, mahogany, walnut, maple, cherry wood and eucalyptus (which quickly recovers), is also used in the manufacture of wood doors and windows.
Wood windows are primarily used when required by the municipality or when renovating historic or vintage buildings. This noble material can be used to manufacture sash windows, casement windows, awning windows and even cremone bolt windows. They will need periodic maintenance to preserve their charm for as long as possible. Sanding is necessary, as well as a protective coating or stain, which must be applied every three to five years.
Hybrid windows, made of wood overlaid with aluminum on the outside, are a perfect compromise between the charm of wood and the strength of aluminum. With these windows, it's possible to enjoy the natural beauty of wood on the inside of the frame, while avoiding the need for exterior maintenance, thanks to the aluminum overlay on the outside. The latter lends the hybrid window a high degree of rigidity, while also prolonging the life of the window, which will benefit from optimal protection from the elements, just like an aluminum window or a PVC-aluminum hybrid window.
Hybrid wood-aluminum windows can be manufactured in large sizes, making them a great choice for any project, whether residential or commercial. This very popular combination of materials helps minimize the natural tendency of wood to warp. To maintain these windows, it suffices to apply a coat of semi-transparent or solid stain on the inside part of the frame.
Come discover the various models of hybrid wood-aluminum windows at Verdun Doors and Windows, where one of our consultants will be happy to demonstrate how they work and show you all of their features.

Improving the Office app experience in virtual environments
By Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365, on July 1, 2019 July 1, 2019
Microsoft 365 is designed to help organizations digitally transform workplace collaboration. Many customers that I work with use virtualization, and they're always looking for ways to cut costs and improve the user experience. To help, we acquired FSLogix last November, and today I'm pleased to announce four new capabilities to further improve the user experience in virtualized environments:
FSLogix technology, which improves the performance of Office 365 ProPlus in multi-user virtual environments, is now available at no additional cost for Microsoft 365 customers.
Windows Server 2019 will add support for OneDrive Files On-Demand in the coming months.
Office 365 ProPlus, our flagship Office experience, will be supported on Windows Server 2019.
And we've added new capabilities to Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams in Office 365 ProPlus to improve the user experience in a virtualized environment.
Get the same reliable experience with Office apps in any environment with FSLogix
The FSLogix container technology is now fully integrated with Office apps in virtual environments. This technology improves the speed and reliability of virtualized Office apps to feel like the experience of using Office apps on a dedicated machine. The FSLogix containers work in virtualized environments, including those provided by Microsoft, Citrix, and VMWare. This technology is now included at no extra charge if you are licensed for any of the following Microsoft solutions:
Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5/Student Use Benefits/F1/Business
Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5
Windows 10 Education A3/A5
Windows 10 VDA per user
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Client Access License (CAL) and Subscriber Access License (SAL)
Learn more about FSLogix.
Easily access OneDrive Files On-Demand with Windows Server 2019
Using OneDrive Files On-Demand, people can access all their files in OneDrive while only downloading the ones they're using to save hard drive space on their devices. In the coming months, Windows Server 2019 will support OneDrive Files On-Demand for virtualized Office apps users. This support will couple the fast access to files that users love, with reduced User Profile Disk storage requirements and cost savings that businesses need. Learn more about how to take advantage of this new capability with Windows Server 2019.
Run Office 365 ProPlus on Windows Server 2019
While Office 365 ProPlus provides the best experience when running on Windows 10, we know some of you rely on Windows Server to provide virtual desktop services for your users. For those still needing to migrate from Windows Server 2008/R2 before it reaches end of support in January 2020, or from Windows Server 2012/R2 before the October 2020 end of support for connectivity to Office 365 data, I'm happy to share that we'll support Office 365 ProPlus running on Windows Server 2019. This enables you to take advantage of the Files On-Demand capabilities coming to Windows Server 2019 I mentioned above, and to leverage the latest Windows Server platform.
Get a better experience with Office apps in virtual environments
There are also significant enhancements to the virtualization experience for several apps in Office 365, including Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams.
Outlook Cached Mode improvements help people running Outlook on virtual desktops access email and calendars faster:
Sync Inbox before Calendar means people get faster access to email so they can start working right away.
Reduce the number of folders that are synced by default, and an Admin option to reduce the Calendar sync window; both of which help syncs complete faster.
OneDrive now features a per-machine installation option, allowing people to share a single installation of the OneDrive app while still maintaining their own individual folders and files as if they are on their own device.
Teams also has a per-machine installation for Chat and Collaboration. In the coming months, we'll offer Calling and Meetings in Teams through Audio/Video Media optimization in collaboration with Citrix. We're also planning additional Teams enhancements, including improved app deployment, support for Windows Virtual Desktop, performance enhancements, and optimized caching for non-persistent setups.
Windows Search per-user index allows each user profile to persist its own search index, so that search is fast and individualized.
If virtualization is an important part of your IT strategy, we think you're going to love these new capabilities. If you're interested in evaluating the Office 365 apps enhancements we announced today in your own virtual environment, please visit the Microsoft Download Center.

Lessons to be learned from the visa bungle
Posted 28 October 2015 Written by Business Day
Category International
The main lesson to be learned from the damage caused by SA's stricter visa rules for visitors - now relaxed - is that the government needs to pay closer attention to the unintended consequences of policy decisions, says Business Day.
Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande wasn't the only Cabinet minister forced to eat humble pie last week. Although the government's announcement of the relaxation of its controversial new visa rules was largely buried in the media frenzy over the Fees Must Fall protests, Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba's climbdown on Friday is no less significant.
It had been clear for months that Mr Gigaba's intransigence in the face of overwhelming evidence that the new visa requirements were causing a sharp decline in foreign tourists would not end well.
Either he was going to have to back down after having unwisely staked his political reputation on a position that had not been thought through carefully enough, or the governing party would suffer public condemnation for the decimation of an industry it had itself identified as a potential generator of employment in an otherwise anaemic economy.
It is, therefore, no surprise that the concessions announced by Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe on Friday have been sold as a win-win compromise that addresses the tourism industry's main concerns, while ensuring that the ostensible purpose of the regulatory changes — honouring SA's international treaty obligations and preventing child trafficking — can still be achieved.
The Department of Home Affairs will accept some visa applications by mail or via travel agents in future, so that applicants from large countries such as China, India and Russia, and countries that have no South African mission, do not have to travel far to apply in person. Their biometric data will be captured on arrival in SA. More visa facilitation centres will be established globally to make it easier for tourists to submit applications.
In addition, while South African parents of children wanting to leave the country will still be required to produce parental-consent affidavits and birth certificates, school principals will be able to vouch for those participating in international school tours, and unabridged birth certificates will no longer be demanded in all cases.
These are certainly welcome changes in that they tackle the main concerns of tour operators and South African parents of minor children, but they are no panacea. The damage that has been done to SA's traditional and carefully nurtured new international tourism markets will take years to reverse, and in the context of a slowing global economy, some of that market share may never be recovered.
An ill-considered policy position and political muscle-flexing within the governing party have already cost the economy billions of rand in foregone revenue and will probably still result in job losses, although such calculations are notoriously difficult to make with any certainty after the fact.
It is, therefore, vital for the sake of political accountability that the country does not simply shrug its shoulders and move on from this debacle. Far too much policy making occurs in SA with no consideration of possible unintended consequences. The public-consultation requirement that is built into the system is clearly being honoured largely in the breach by ticking compliance boxes.
The government promised years ago to put a regulatory-impact assessment system in place and has failed to deliver. Now the price to be paid for that failure of governance is clear for all to see — an economy that cannot gain momentum and absorb the unemployed because it is hobbled by its own red tape.
Like Mr Nzimande, Mr Gigaba has led a charmed life in the Cabinet due to his affiliations in the tripartite alliance, but both have become millstones around the African National Congress's neck by ignoring voters' needs. It is this disconnect that will eventually cost the party at the polls.


Online courses range from classes in aerospace to recording industry.
MURFREESBORO – Eligible high school students in Tennessee can take tuition-free online courses for college credit through Middle Tennessee State University's expanded dual-enrollment program, the university announced in a press release Tuesday.
The move came as MTSU also announced partnerships to teach dual-enrollment courses at high school campuses in Rutherford, Williamson and Bradley counties, the release stated.
MTSU's dual-enrollment program allows Tennessee high school students who meet the university's admissions criteria and receive approval from their guidance counselors to enroll in university courses and receive college and high school credit for them, the release stated.
"Students receive many benefits," said University College Dean Mike Boyle, who oversees the dual-enrollment program, in the release. "They may be able to take classes that are required by their high school, but earn both college and high school credit at the same time. It also allows them to make an easier transition to college and can shorten how long it takes to earn their college degree."
The online offerings range from courses in aerospace to recording industry. Boyle said the courses could be attractive for home-schooled students seeking additional academic opportunities.
The reduced costs for these courses were established because of a recently expanded Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant and a Tennessee Board of Regents decision to reduce tuition rates for dual-enrollment courses, the release said.
Higher payouts were set by the state for the dual-enrollment grant, starting with rising juniors. Students will receive a $500 grant for their first and second dual-enrollment courses that will cover MTSU's tuition. If they enroll in a third course, they will instead receive a $200 grant.
Next fall's seniors are not eligible for the grant's higher payouts under the new state program, but MTSU created a one-year supplemental scholarship to offset the cost balance for rising seniors, the release states.
Students must pay a $25 admissions application fee to MTSU to enroll in the courses and pay for textbooks and lab fees if necessary, the release said. Those taking online courses will also be charged $10 per course credit hour.

Q: API to get water body names by coordinates We have some geometry records - water bodies in a DB which does not have name. I have tried to use Google Geocoding to extract them but it seems that it is more suitable for addresses. Is there any API to get water body names by coordinates?

A: You can try BigDataCloud's reverse geocoding API: https://www.bigdatacloud.com/geocoding-apis/reverse-geocode-to-city-api
This API is based on the administrative/non-administrative boundary and provides the name of the smallest region which can be land or water.

Very interesting view on how Freire is misunderstood in the West: http://www.henryagiroux.com/online_articles/Paulo_friere.htm: "[I]t has been frequently appropriated by academics, adult educators, and others who inhabit the ideology of the West in ways that often reduce it to a pedagogical technique or method. […] What has been increasingly lost in the North American and Western appropriation of Freire's work is the profound and radical nature of its theory and practice as an anti-colonial and postcolonial discourse.
Popular education and social change in Latin America. Oscar Jara H.
How can we translate these alternative educational experiences we have just learned about to our own context (ideologically and practically)?
How do you implement these ideas – which to a great extent are based on working on local – communities – if there is no great sense of community to start with? – In short, can you do popular education without a community. And if not, how to build these two institutions hand in hand?

Singapore top FDI source for India in FY20 with $14.67 bn in investments
Singapore was the top source of foreign direct investment into India for the second consecutive financial year, accounting for about 30 per cent of FDI inflows in 2019-20.
In the past two financial years, FDI from Singapore has surpassed that from Mauritius.
In the last financial year, India attracted $14.67 billion in FDI from Singapore, whereas it was $8.24 billion from Mauritius, according to the data of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
In 2018-19, Singapore's FDI aggregated at $16.22 billion, while that from Mauritius it was $8.08 billion.
According to experts, Singapore has been able to outpace Mauritius with its ease of doing business policies, simplified tax regime and a large number of private investors.
"Mauritius was once seen as a tax haven making it the most favoured nation for routing investments in India. April 2017 brought key amendments to the bilateral treaties with Mauritius and Singapore which neutralized the tax benefits available in Mauritius.
"Singapore with its ease of business policies, simplified tax regime and large number of private investors has been able to outrun Mauritius," Sandeep Jhunjhunwala, Partner, Nangia Andersen LLP said.
He said attractive corporate tax rates, swift response in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, impressive mobile and internet penetration, and technology uptake are making India a primary destination to invest.
"While countries are battling the COVID-19 pandemic and the world economy is headed into recession, India received a mammoth investment from stake sale of Jio Platforms. Economists and investors are now closely watching India as it is headed towards becoming a digital giant," Jhunjhunwala added.
Biswajit Dhar, a professor of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, said significant FDI is coming from Singapore because of "round tripping".
"Inflows from Mauritius have been affected after the agreement on double taxation avoidance," Dhar said adding future FDI inflows into India would also depend on the state of global FDI flows.
In 2017-18, FDI inflows from Mauritius stood at $15.94 billion and from Singapore, it was $12.18 billion.
FDI in India rose by 13 per cent – the sharpest pace in the last four fiscals – to a record $49.97 billion in 2019-20, according to the data.
Total FDI into India including re-invested earnings and other capital in the last fiscal grew by 18 per cent to USD 73.45 billion as against $62 billion in 2018-19.
When asked whether high FDI growth trend will continue in India, Rajat Wahi, Partner, Deloitte India,said: "Yes, but probably not as much as in the last three years due to three months getting wiped out (due to COVID-19 pandemic) . But given the funds available globally and our strength in tech-enabled businesses, FDI will flow again post lockdown".
This growth in FDI in 2019-20, he said, was in line with the growth of e-commerce, fintech and startups, that was continuing for the last five years, especially last year.
"Given the amount of money that is being pumped in by various governments to revive their respective economies, the expectation is that we will again see a major increase in investments into startups and new tech-enabled businesses post the lockdown," Wahi added.
Foreign investments are considered crucial for India as it needs huge investments for overhauling the infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth.
FDI helps in improving the country's balance of payments and strengthen the rupee value against other global currencies, especially the US dollar.
