Susan Halteman , Victoria Wheeler• December 21 2020
All around the world, 2020 was a remarkable year for alternative proteins.
Despite the incredible challenges the world faced this year, 2020 was still a remarkable year for alternative proteins.
While travel plans were put on hold and people sheltered in place, GFI didn't slow down. Our global teams used all of the technological resources at our disposal to welcome the rest of the world into our virtual space, to build knowledge about alternative proteins, and to further stimulate growth across the sector.
Between March and June alone, GFI hosted or participated in more than 75 virtual presentations and workshops that reached more than 10,000 people–many of whom were new to the alternative protein sector.
There are too many 2020 advancements to share in one blog post, but we'll try our hand at naming what we see as the Top 20 of 2020. If you're part of GFI's global donor family, what follows is the impact of your gifts over the past 12 months.
#20: GFI Israel co-hosted an alternative protein-focused event with the Israel Innovation Authority which attracted more than 250 attendees.
GFI Israel Managing Director Nir Goldstein delivered the keynote speech, Strategic Relations Manager Alla Voldman spearheaded coordination efforts, and 12 companies and startups and 11 academic representatives presented their work and highlighted opportunities for industry-wide collaboration. The Jerusalem Post explained: "In close collaboration with the Good Food Institute Israel, the Israel Innovation Authority has recently opened new funding tracks tailored specifically to local start-ups and mature companies developing innovative technologies in the alternative protein space."
#19: GFI launched its global Alt. Protein Project, an initiative that works with student leaders at top universities to find and steward the next generation of protein leaders.
We successfully supported the founding of 10 student groups (so far!) at universities across the globe, including the top two agriculture universities in the world. These visionary students seek to build new courses, conduct research projects, create R&D centers, and develop a strong pipeline from academia to industry.
#18: Working closely with our allies, GFI defeated 22 label censorship bills in 17 states.
These bills sought to stifle alternative protein companies from truthfully labeling their products to consumers. (Anyone out there hungrier for "veggie discs" than "veggie burgers"? We didn't think so.)
#17: GFI was featured in nearly 5,000 news stories this year.
GFI's experts led this charge in pieces discussing how alternative proteins can enhance food security (USA Today), help produce protein sustainably (WEF), and prevent future pandemics (Wired). But this future of food cannot happen without increased public investment (Nature) in alternative protein research, broad food industry adoption (The Guardian), and a healthy dose of international competition (MIT Technology Review).
#16: The World Sustainability Organization, in partnership with GFI's Sustainable Seafood Initiative, announced that it will begin certifying plant-based seafood products.
The products will be certified under their Friend of the Sea certification program, which puts plant-based seafood squarely in the seafood category.
#15: Speaking of seafood, we launched two new cool tools created by our Sustainable Seafood team:
Phylogenetic Index of Seafood CharactEriStics (PISCES) and ArcheType Library for Alternative Seafood (ATLAS), tools that help researchers, companies, investors, and governments answer the question, "which alternative seafood should we focus on first?" These tools have already been used extensively by plant-based and cultivated seafood researchers and companies world-wide.
#14: GFI Brazil created and led the first alternative protein working group within the Brazilian Bio-Innovation Association.
The Brazilian Bio-Innovation Association is an industry association with a focus on biofuels and renewable chemistry, expanding its agenda to a broader vision of bio innovation, now including alternative proteins. Through this partnership, GFI Brazil was able to present to a group of Brazilian officials including the Vice President, who declared his love for plant-based meat!
#13: GFI India's Smart Protein Summit convened more than 1,500 virtual attendees and 80 speakers.
The event was a virtual who's who of alternative protein in India and around the world, including a keynote address by former Pepsi CEO and GFI friend Indra Nooyi.
#12: GFI Asia-Pacific held its inaugural two-day Asia Summit on Alternative Proteins, garnering more than 1,500 registrants from over 50 countries and across the food production, finance, and biotech industries.
This first-ever virtual summit on alternative proteins with a pan-Asian focus included 10 hours of live-streamed content with seven public sessions in addition to private roundtables and networking activities.
#11: GFI India advised dozens of entrepreneurs on critical early-stage steps, including Bollywood power couple Genelia and Riteish Deshmuk's new start-up "Imagine Meats."
With strategic support from GFI India, the couple launched their new plant-based meat start-up in partnership with ADM. Managing Director Varun Deshpande and his team were quoted in most media coverage and thanked on social media by Genelia and Ritiesh, who have a combined following of approximately 15.7 million on Twitter.
#10: GFI Brazil signed a cooperation agreement with Amazonas State and will be collaborating with the state government to develop its bioeconomy agenda.
They are helping connect indigenous crops with the rapidly growing alternative protein sector and spare the rainforest from further environmental harm.
#9: GFI held its first fermentation summit where we presented our inaugural State of the Industry Report on fermentation in alternative proteins.
This virtual event drew 1,000 attendees from more than 50 countries. Symposium panelist and culinary guru B.Z. Goldberg said, "The event was the best-organised, most interesting, well-crafted, informative, intriguing and fulfilling event I have ever attended on the topic in general and easily one of the best virtual events I've experienced since this became the new normal."
#8: GFI's Research Grant Program, which is fully funded by the gifts from the philanthropic community, has now granted out more than $8 million in research grants to 38 high-impact projects conducted by researchers across 13 countries and five continents, making GFI North America's top funder of alternative protein science.
Max Elder from Institute for the Future raved: "GFI's research grants are enabling fundamental open-access science. That, in turn, enables scalability and an ecosystem approach to accelerating this space in ways the private sector alone cannot."
#7: GFI inspired and assisted a team of researchers at UC Davis with their successful proposal to the U.S.' National Science Foundation that resulted in $3.55 million for cultivated meat research.
This year also saw the first USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) grants for plant-based meat, after years of GFI lobbying Congress and meeting with NIFA program managers.
#6: GFI Europe played a critical role in the European Parliament's rejection of a proposal to ban labeling plant-based foods as veggie burgers.
GFI Europe led efforts to convene a group of NGOs and co-founded the European Alliance for Plant-based Foods that together secured more than 200 media hits in the run-up to the vote and had direct or indirect contact with 84 of the 148 MEPs who eventually voted against the ban.
#5: GFI has been invited to lead the innovation pillar of action track two for the UN's 2021 Food Systems Summit.
Track two is focused on shifting the world to sustainable consumption patterns. By leading the innovation pillar, we will have an influence on the innovation thinking across all five action tracks, including "boosting nature-positive production" and "building resilience to vulnerabilities"
#4: GFI launched our Advancing Solutions to Alternative Proteins (ASAP) initiative, which identifies the most pressing challenges facing the alternative protein industry and maps the solutions to address those challenges.
Wageningen University is the world's top agricultural university and included five of GFI's identified white space ideas among the seven ideas discussed during their Protein Transition Community Day.
#3: GFI beat the drum for alternative proteins in the U.S. Capital and rallied a strong group of public and private sector interests.
The group of interests included Unilever, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, the Mushroom Council, and Impossible Foods, as well as NGOs like the Breakthrough Institute and the Center for Biological Diversity. We submitted nine detailed comments and letters to government agencies and Congressional committees and coordinated a Congressional hearing that included Reps. Deutch, Wild, and Blumenauer explaining their support for expanding public funding for alternative protein R&D. To top it all off, we're ending the year on a high note after providing recommendations to members of the Biden-Harris transition team urging the incoming Administration to prioritize investment in alternative protein research and development in its economic recovery plan.
#1 (Tie): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first head of government to taste cultivated meat–a landmark moment in the global race to bring cultivated meat to market.
The Prime Minister joined Nir Goldstein, Managing Director of GFI Israel, at a tasting event hosted by GFI Israel and cultivated meat maker Aleph Farms. The Prime Minister noted, "I have directed [Israel's] State Secretary to appoint a coordinator to serve these industries. Israel will become a powerhouse for alternative meat and alternative protein."
#1 (Tie): The Singapore Food Agency approved the sale of a cultivated meat produced by Eat Just, Inc.
GFI has been meeting with scientists and others from the government of Singapore for more than three years, and a few months ago one of our scientists co-authored this piece for Trends in Biotechnology about cultivated meat with government scientists from Singapore.
"Singapore and Israel have thrown down the gauntlet and other countries need to pick it up," said GFI's Executive Director Bruce Friedrich. "Cultivated meat will mark an enormous advance in our efforts to create a food supply that is safe, secure, and sustainable, and Singapore and Israel are leading the way on this transition."
BONUS #1: GFI was recently named an ACE Top Charity, an honor we have received every year since our founding.
This endorsement follows several months of review and specifically highlighted our cost-effectiveness, strategy, leadership & culture, and room for funding. We could not be more proud of this achievement!
If you're wondering how to make your philanthropic dollars have the biggest impact this giving season, we believe GFI is your answer. Help GFI make an even bigger impact for alternative proteins in 2021 by giving here.

Q: Access HTML Code of another document of same server I was working on reading a source of a html page (on the same site not cross domain) and use the div content to be shown on another page.
I want to access the HTML content of source.html without actually loading the file.
It is important for me to use HTML DOM only. I don't prefer to load the complete html source on a String var and parse it using REGEX or XML.
One of the approaches is to use frames and put the source html file on a frame and setting the src
parent.window.document.getElementById('sourceFrame').src = "htmlfiles/source.html";

this will load the source on a frame, allow to collect the div content by using
divHTML = parent.window.frames["sourceFrame"].document.getElementById("targetClassname").innerHTML

and show it on the target page using
document.getElementById("targetClassname").innerHTML = divHTML

This works fine but, it will load/show the HTML file. 0% width frame cannot be a solution as it WILL load the html document, its not visible that's it.
So, its about accessing the HTML content of source.html without actually loading the file, Any thoughts?

A: you can use an ajax request to get it, and then do with it what you want
$.ajax("htmlfiles/source.html", {
  success: function(sourceFile){
    // do something with the html file (sourceFile)
  }
});

Adorable, fashion forward and a whole lot of fun, there is all sorts of things to be enjoyed with this great retro iPhone case. You have a maze to do if you are bored, and it's bright and colorful so that you make a great fashion statement, too.
This is absolutely fantastic, and I wish that I had an iPhone 5/5s so that I could make use of this for myself. I really think the colours work well together and it is really cute to look at. I'm buying this for my best friend!
Pros: Great design. Fun and catchy with its color. Well made with PureGear's assurance. Great for gifts for those people you don't really know all that well. Fantastic and will protect your phone. Cons: Not the best option for people who like subtle phone cases.

Interview with Yellow Monster's Jae-Hyuck Choi
by Jenna · December 20, 2010
Back in July I was searching through the internet, like I usually do for Korean rock and stumbled upon the album Yellow Monsters by The Yellow Monsters. I took one listen to it, and fell in love.
That seems to be the general consensus when most people listen to the album, actually. They had me at Destruction, the album's first song. It's a hard rock song, with punk undertones, that hooks you into the album with their hard-hitting sounds and vocal harmonies.
The first single off of the album, to which there is a video is titled Late and has a great up-beat punk feel to it, along with great vocals. The three members of the band have extensive experience in the music scene, each is actually currently part of two or more bands. I think their previous experiences contributed greatly to their success, and strength on Yellow Monsters, not to mention how fast they were able to put it together.
This type of rock is one of my favorites, it's got a great beat, good flow and they don't scream through the entire album like some of the harder rock bands. The Yellow Monsters is comprised of Yong-Won Lee on vocals and guitar, Jin-Young Han on bass and vocals as well, and Jae-Hyuck Choi rounding things out on drums and vocals.

It is so true that album is so good!
And omg drummer-sshii is so cute!
Why do you think companies like JYP consider boy bands and girl groups a better investment than promoting rock bands like Yellow Monsters?
Easy to sell? I mean boy- and girlgroups are so easy to market. The music is pretty shallow, they look good. It doesn't require you to think that much. You hear the song, bump along to the beat and that is about it.
But I think it laso has a whole lot to do with he society, they have grown accustomed to it being like this (the idols) and don't question it. The music must come with a package, a pretty smile a funny personality. If not it doesn't sell. Which is a bit sad because then groups like the Yellow Monsters don't get the exposure they should be getting.
Then again I'm not really sure, need to ask a Korean that has knowledge of it.
But they can do a pop-punk pop-rock package too! They could, instead of finding 6 pretty boys who can sync dance, they could get 5 that can play an instrument each ;P – not meaning to be demeaning here, but you could have a pop punk wave sweeping Korea, very much like the early 2000s in America. It's like, it doesn't have to only be sync nicely packaged pop.
kamalachan says:
There are more commercial bands too. I would say that some of the ones that I've even posted on my site are a little more pop-rock and they been used a little more in things like anime openings and such. I know that Guyz are one such band they got a little exposure with their last single and were on some of the weekly music shows as well. They're one of my favorites, and maybe my pre-established love of pop music is why I'm sometimes more instantly in love with some of the more light/pop rock bands than the hard core ones. Some of the bands like Swimming Fish, Guyz,, No Brain, and others all get exposure with collaborations or for being on soundtracks. A perfect example of a pop-rock band that SM actually DID invest in is The Trax. They're sound has changed significantly over the years and they've become a lot more pop than rock recently. No Min-Woo leaving the group was probably a contributing factor in their sound change, as well as probably SM wanting to get more attention/ commercial appeal for the band.
I always thought the fact that Seo Taiji did R&B, rap, Nu Metal, and a mix of everything with pop was awesome. Talking about that… my Seo Taiji Symphony DVD set hasn't arrive yet! WTH!
I'm just surprised groups like Korean-type Panic at the Disco, or My Chemical Romance, or Simple Plan and all the other punk pop groups that came out a while ago aren't more mainstream.
I'd be even surprise to find an Avril-Lavigne like in the K-music industry. :\
I'll tell ya one thing, I want more idols like Daesung to be successful… doing more Korean trot numbers! LOL That'll add variety to the market ;P

Texas' refusal to issue required greenhouse permits for almost two years may have hurt business. Energy companies say they have been unable to take advantage of the area's shale boom.
Environmental advocates say the delays are an example of how Texas' stance against climate change regulations can hurt big business. They also question whether the TCEQ needed state legislators to give it the authority to follow the rules.


The 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival is fast approaching and this years edition is chock full of political intrigue, big-name auteurs returning to the screen and a slew of new names making their debut. Taking place from the 8th to the 19th May, the films will be competing for the industries highest honour the Palme d'Or which was last year won by Ruben Ostlund's existential drama The Square.
Controversy is no stranger to Cannes, in fact, it's proved to be part of its larger successful marketing strategy at times, from the sexual outrage behind Blue is the Warmest Color to Lars Von Trier's notorious Hitler outburst, every year it seems the temperature is ratcheted up a notch.
This year is no exception with streaming powerhouse Netflix running into a stumbling block with Cannes. Earlier in April, Netflix announced that they would not be able to bring any films to the festival, due to a rule change which meant that movies without theatrical distribution were banned from competing for the coveted prizes. This prompted questions about the festival's incompatibility with modern cinema and has left noticeable gaps in this year's selection, such as work by Paul Greengrass and Oscar-nominated Alfonso Cuarón.
As well as this being the first festival post-Weinstein, and most importantly in light of accusations against him having occurred during past festivals. The festival has set up a partnership with the French equality minister Marlène Schiappa introducing a sexual harassment telephone hotline for attendees to report any misconduct. However, to say their lack of female representation at the festival this year would be an understatement, with only 3 female directors in the running. With one below.
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's 'Everybody Knows' will have the honour of opening Cannes this year. The Oscar winner (The Salesman, A Separation) has taken a departure from his usual work, directing the killer combination and real-life couple of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in this Spanish-language psychological thriller about a family reunion gone wrong.
Also featuring is 'Under the Silver Lake', directed by David Robert Mitchell. This movie follows Sam (Andrew Garfield) as he embarks on a quest across Los Angeles to decode the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of Sarah, played by Riley Keough. Described as a neo-noir comedy-drama, this surreal and darkly comic production looks like a fitting follows up to Mitchell's horror 'It Follows', which debuted to great acclaim in 2014. Expect a lot of fanfare around this one.
Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman' is also set to premiere at the festival off the back of his Netflix revamp She's Gotta Have It. Produced by Jordan Peele and starring John David Washington, this tells the fascinating real-life story of the African-American policeman Ron Stallworth's infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan in 1978. Also starring Adam Driver and Topher Grace (who are both making double appearances in this year's line-up), predictions are that this one might be in line for the Palme d'Or.
One of only 3 female directors to be part of this year's selection, Eva Husson will show her film 'Girls of the Sun'. This is a French film about female Kurdish resistance fighters battling extremists in Syria and Iraq. Golshifteh Farahani plays the commander-in-chief of the battalion and Emmanuelle Bercot plays journalist Mathilde. Husson was inspired to make this film after reading about real-life Kurdish women who fought back against ISIS fighters,this looks set to be an exploration of true sisterhood and resilience.
Wherever Terry Gillam goes so does controversy, his magnum opus 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote', is finally seeing the light of day or we hope so. Festival organisers have been forced to defend the choice of allowing this film to screen and close the festival after a legal dispute about who owns the rights to the film saw Gilliam taken to court by the producer Paulo Branco. A film 20 years in the making it has faced financial problems and on-set accidents and its ordeals have been widely documented in the documentary Lost in La Mancha. Let's hope the world finally gets to see Gillam's brilliance.

What if you're a judgment enforcer, which had a $2,000 judgment designated for you? Let's say your debtor declined to pay for, and also you then planned to apply your writ of execution to set up a levy of the debtor's vehicle, that you simply think may be worth $3,000?
One of several judgment articles: I'm not an attorney, and this information is my estimation according to my experience, please meet with a lawyer if you want legal counsel.
Anybody intending to levy their judgment debtor's vehicle ought to know if it's leased, or exactly what the lien and/or loan status is. All vehicle deals rely on any prior financial loans and liens, so let us assume the debtor's vehicle is taken care of.
What if one makes a deal for your debtor (or they create a deal for you), to consider their vehicle as full compensation for (and gratification of) their judgment when they sign over their vehicle possession title for you.
An offer similar to this, differs from should you have had the sheriff seize their vehicle then sell it in an auction purchase, because in a sheriff's purchase you would need to give anything remaining the judgment debt amount, to your debtor.
Using the vehicle deal, would you then pay your Original Judgment Creditor (OJC) $1,000 (according to your 50/50 split contract), sell the vehicle for $3,000, and obtain an additional $1,000 profit?
Yes, judgment enforcers frequently make discounted prices. That you can do anything (that's legal) that you would like. In case your debtor would like to sign their vehicle to you, that's fine. Your main obligation for your OJC is exactly what both of you decided to, inside your purchase agreement.
Should you accept the automobile as payment entirely for that $2,000 judgment, the OJC could be titled for their $1,000, and you should file a satisfaction of judgment to the court. In the event you and then sell your automobile, you've honored your contracts with the OJC and also the debtor. Hopefully, you'll make a large profit.
However, if the market on automobiles be lower and you may only sell the automobile for $1,500, you have to still file the satisfaction for that debtor, and spend the money for OJC their $1,000. You made the decision the automobile was worth $3,000, which is not the OJC's fault you simply got $1,500, and you'll make only $500.
To sum up, it's your vehicle, which means you gain or lose around the ultimate purchase date. The purchase date is not related to your agreement together with your debtor, or perhaps your agreement using the OJC. They are three separate and distinct transactions.

Whitehall source claims 'most interesting parts' of the Russia report have been left out
Published: 8:03 AM July 21, 2020 Updated: 6:14 PM September 17, 2020

A Whitehall source has claimed that chunks of the Russia report have been redacted, raising fresh concerns over the veracity of the report.
It has fuelled that Downing Street had left out sections which could show Russian interference during recent UK elections and votes.
The report, which comes out after a nine-month wait, alleges that Moscow had meddled in the 2014 Scottish referendum and could be involved in 14 suspicious deaths on British soil.
Another source told the Daily Mail that the findings showed not enough had been done to investigate Russian interference in the Brexit referendum of 2016.
Former MI6 spy Christopher Steele, who was behind the Russia-Trump 'dossier' which exposed alleged links between the Kremlin-backed donors and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, claimed that Downing Street had been 'reluctant' to move on intelligence that Russian agents were hampering UK elections.
He told the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC): 'My understanding, arising partly from personal experience with the 'Trump-Russia dossier', is that this government perhaps more than its predecessors is reluctant to see (or act upon) intelligence on Russian activities when this presents difficult wider political implications.
'Examples of this include reporting on the Kremlin's likely hold over president Trump and his family/administration and indications of Russian interference in and clandestine funding of the Brexit referendum.'
There are also concerns over the relationship between the Tory party and several wealthy Russian donors. Just last week, it emerged business secretary Alok Sharma sat next to two Russian businessmen at a Tory fundraising dinner this year where it is understood a discussion to build a £1.2 billion pipeline under the English Channel was had.
One of those men, Alexander Temerko, paid £12,000 for his seat and is understood to have given the party £1.3 million in donations over the years.
Temerko was the chief executive of a government-owned arms firm in Russia before moving to the UK and his business partner, Kirill Glukhovskoy, worked as legal advisor at a Russian state oil company.
Downing Street has also faced mounting criticism for not releasing the report sooner. It is believed the delay was caused by Dominic Cummings, the prime minister's chief advisor, who did not want to 'give a platform' to former pro-European ISC chairman Dominic Grieve during the Brexit battles last year.
Grieve has welcomed publication of the report.
He said: 'I'm delighted it [the Russia report] is finally coming out, it is nine months later than it should have been and there was no good reason not to publish it in October last year.
'Now people will have a better understanding on the threat Russia poses and if we are doing enough to counter it.'

South Sudan's ongoing violence and battered economy are causing large numbers of girls to drop out of school. Now a British-funded education program is hoping to help 200,000 girls continue their education by giving them money for fees and school supplies.
When the war came to South Sudan's capital, Juba, in July, 17-year-old Jackie Felix and her mother ran to their local church to escape the tanks, flying shrapnel and gangs of soldiers targeting fleeing civilians. They emerged days later to find their family had been torn apart.
"My brother, we found his body on the road, but my aunt is not found," says Jackie.
As tens of thousands of people fled to neighboring Uganda, Jackie and her mother decided to stay in Juba, because the teenager wanted to finish her last year of primary school.
In South Sudan, a nation born in 2011 out of decades of war with Sudan, an adolescent girl is three times more likely to die in childbirth than complete her primary education. A new and brutal civil war that started in 2013 has left millions of people starving and homeless and destroyed many children's dreams of having a better life than their parents as violence and hyperinflation make going to school even harder.
But without support from their family, Jackie's mother, a tea seller, struggled to put food on the table, let alone pay school fees. Jackie knows that girls who drop out of school have no choice but to get married.
"Most of them are running to marriage to get things, but they get things that are worse," she says, telling stories of girls who have lost children to disease or have been left destitute by their husbands who have gone to join the fighting.
Jackie managed to go back to school after being referred to Girls' Education South Sudan (GESS), an initiative that gives girls cash transfers to support them through the last years of primary school and into secondary school, the time when most dropouts occur.
The GESS program, funded by UK Aid and run through the South Sudanese Ministry of Education and a network of NGOs, was launched in 2013 and aims to help 200,000 girls stay in school by the time the program ends in 2018. As of October, it had funded 170,000 girls, with 70,000 joining the program this year alone.
"Our country really totally fails at education, so we need help," says Jackie, who got 2,300 South Sudanese pounds ($25) from GESS in October.
The majority of girls spend the money on school materials, fees and items such as sanitary towels and soap, without which girls are forced to stay home for big chunks of the school year.
The girls are free to choose how to spend the money, although the program tracks their school attendance. GESS says the majority of girls spend the money on school materials, fees and items such as sanitary towels and soap, without which girls are forced to stay home for big chunks of the school year.
"In four out of five of the surveys we've done, the family have opted to allow the girls to use the money for school," says Akuja de Garang, a GESS team leader.
Jackie is also giving her mother some money to put food on the table, as the cost of even basic items soars.
"So many [girls] drop out because of no money," says 21-year-old Sonia Taban, another cash transfer recipient who has gone back to complete her final year of primary school.
Sonia and her sister had to drop out of school in 2013 after her parents lost their siblings in the fighting and could no longer support the family. "South Sudan is a country for war, and everything is expensive," says Sonia.
She hopes to be the first one in her family to finish school "to get a brighter future" and a job that might help her parents and sister, who had to get married to try to escape poverty.
"I wanted myself to not suffer like them," she says.
GESS is also helping to keep schools in South Sudan from closing down altogether. The economic crisis means teacher salaries often go unpaid or become so worthless that teachers simply abandon their posts to find better paying jobs. "If their money is not paid, they stop teaching, and we end up with nothing in our heads," says Jackie.
Even before the war, the country's education budget never exceeded five percent, despite a government pledge that it would increase it to 10 percent, says de Garang.
To stop the education sector from crumbling, GESS gives some schools capitation grants based on the number of enrolled students, and this year it started allowing schools to spend up to 60 percent, rather than 20 percent, on paying teachers, including those on the government payroll.
This year, despite the ongoing conflict, South Sudan's School Monitoring System shows over 1.3 million children – including over 560,000 girls – enrolled in school, the highest number ever recorded.
"When I become a lawyer, I will get money and help the children who are suffering," says Jackie, who remembers her own struggles in South Sudan but doesn't want to leave the country "because it needs development," and because she believes those lucky enough to get educated should give something back.
A previous version of this article converted 2,300 South Sudanese pounds to $350. At the current conversion rate, the USD equivalent is approximately $25.

Home > Baghdadʹs new era of freedom
Iraq post-Islamic State
Baghdadʹs new era of freedom
With Islamic State out of the picture, the people of Iraq are breathing a sigh of relief. The recent re-opening of Baghdadʹs Green Zone to all traffic is just one indication that times are changing. Judit Neurink reports from Baghdad.
Slowly, normality is returning to Baghdad. Since the terrorist militia "Islamic State" was ousted from Iraq, the city of eight million inhabitants has changed considerably. Most of the T-walls erected over the past decade to keep both public and private buildings safe have now been pulled down to reveal parks and green zones.
In a major development, the Green Zone housing the parliament, ministries and embassies, which was formerly secured behind fences, walls and checkpoints, was recently re-opened to all traffic.
Nargilehs and mocktails
As part of this changing environment, Baghdad has seen the opening of its first women's cafe, where women can meet without males to accompany them and without wearing the scarf and long abaya that have become so common on the streets. These are, of course, the first things young women remove on entering La Femme cafe.
"Fathers do not want their daughters going to cafes where men smoke water pipes," says Femme's owner Adra Adel-Abid, 47, describing the situation in many public places in Iraq. She provides the popular nargileh, as the water pipes are called, too, but hers are prepared by a woman, while her daughter, Mays, 20, serves an alcohol-free champagne cocktail and other drinks and snacks.
Even if they have to employ a guard, as is common in public places in Iraq, she will find a female one, says Adel-Abid. "Some men are angry that they are not welcome and some say we secretly sell alcohol and drugs." But although Femme is located in a high-rise building with a men's gym and restaurants and only one elevator, no men have ventured inside this female sanctuary to date.
La Femme – Baghdadʹs first women's café: "fathers do not want their daughters going to cafes where men smoke water pipes," says Femme's owner Adra Adel-Abid. She provides the popular nargileh, as the water pipes are called, too, but hers are prepared by a woman, while her daughter, Mays, 20, serves an alcohol-free champagne cocktail and other drinks and snacks. Of course, the first items women remove on entering the cafe are their hijabs and abayas
Adel-Abid's clientele is mostly women from the middle and upper classes. For her young customers, she organises women-only parties for birthdays, engagement and graduations. The older generation prefers to drink a coffee and listen to the old Iraqi singers favoured by Femme's sound system.
Five years ago, she would not have been able to open the cafe, Adel-Abid says. "People were afraid. There is more openness now." Which means women can now run businesses. In addition to Femme, she also set up a venture to collect leftovers from restaurants and feed some of the city's 190,000 poor and displaced persons. Although she has had to call a temporary halt to this activity for lack of money, she is currently looking for wealthy Baghdadis to sponsor her.
Shifting cultural norms
Adel-Abid is not the only female entrepreneur in Baghdad. With Islamic State out of the picture and as a result of the current political stability, Iraqi women are demanding their share of the city's public space. In Mansour, the neighbourhood where Femme is located, most cafes and restaurants are now mixed, with women smoking water pipes too.
The winds of change have also reached the streets, where women dress more colourfully, instead of hiding behind black veils. The process extends to the headscarf, which is slowly losing ground with young women; like Mays, they prefer to wears jeans and no scarf.
The same goes for Merry al-Khafaji, who recently tied the knot with Mustafa al-Ani. In her twenties, like her new husband, whom she has joined for a water pipe in a popular Baghdad garden, she arrives with her dark hair flowing freely and wearing a green T-shirt with jeans.
Done with segregation: thanks to social media, "both Sunni and Shia young people have grown critical of the role played by the religious political parties and by religion in our society," Al-Ani points out. But even though mixed marriages "are very normal now" in Baghdad, as he says, they are less common in the more conservative and segregated regions outside the capital
Their marriage is another sign of the changing atmosphere in Baghdad. The fact that he is Sunni and she Shia would have led to huge problems as recently as a couple of years ago. But since the Iraqis united to cast out Islamic State, mixed marriages have made a comeback in the country; in fact, among the young in Baghdad, they have even become 'the new normal.'
Before the fall of Saddam in 2003, it was normal for Iraqis to marry freely between sects and religions. But the new regime divided the country by belief and when the Shia majority came to power, it led to a civil war between the sects, the rise of radical Islam and, ultimately, Islamic State. As a result, parents preferred their children to marry within their own group. "But after IS, many Iraqis decided they wanted to leave that black era behind them and return to the time before the divisions," says the young couple.
Traditionally, parents choose their children's partners, but they met at the telecoms firm where they work. They are not alone – many young people now meet at work, as well as during study or workshops.Social media brings change
Social media has also had a major impact, they point out, by providing young people with a new way to make new friends in conservative Iraqi society. And since most people do not use their family names – which often reveals their sect – on social media, people don't actually know what religion their new friends belong to. By the time they find out, love may have blossomed.
Social media have also encouraged young people to be more critical, Al-Ani points out. "Both Sunni and Shia young people have grown critical of the role played by the religious political parties and by religion in our society." But even though mixed marriages "are very normal now" in Baghdad, as he says, they are less common in the more conservative and segregated regions outside the capital.
Freed from Islamic State repression: "it's the psychological effect of all those walls being removed," says Hanaa Edwar, who heads the Amal Association in Iraq. "Young women tell themselves that it's okay now, that they can live normally again. They drop the scarf and play a more active role in society. And their families are all right with that"
The marriage system is itself another impediment. A married couple needs to choose under which religion they want their marriage registered, as the different sects each have their own heritage and divorce laws. Though the Shia divorce laws are slightly better for women, the couple opted for Sunni laws. "The lady in the court advised against it," says Al-Khafaji, "but I really don't care." She is done with all the segregation, she implies.
Women reclaiming the public space
Hanaa Edwar, a respected activist who heads the Amal Association in Iraq, points to the improved security situation post-Islamic State as the main driver behind the change. "It's the psychological effect of all those walls being removed. Young women tell themselves that it's okay now, that they can live normally again. They drop the scarf and play a more active role in society. And their families are all right with that."
Parents understand that their children need more freedom, she says, which has led to mixed groups of young men and women in cafes, but also to the workshops her organisation stages becoming more mixed.
"Parents allow their daughters to travel alone to Basra or Irbil now." Before they would always have been accompanied by their father or a brother. "During the battle against IS, we saw young men and women teaming up to support civilians," she points out. These new developments also stem from the way Islamic State restricted the freedoms enjoyed by the young.
"Women are acting in the theatres again, which had become almost unheard of. They are publicly speaking out – for instance against forced marriages. They are breaking down the walls and even starting to shake the tribal traditions."

James Frederick "Jimmie" Rodgers (born September 18, 1933 in Camas, Washington, United States) is an American popular music singer.
Rodgers had a brief run of mainstream popularity in the late 1950s with a string of crossover singles that ranked highly on the Billboard Pop Singles, Hot Country and Western Sides and Hot Rhythm and Blues Sides charts; in the 1960s, Rodgers had more modest successes with adult contemporary music. In the summer of 1957, he recorded a song called "Honeycomb", which had been recorded by Bob Merrill and Georgie Shaw three years earlier. The tune was Rodgers' biggest hit, staying on the top of the charts for four weeks. The following year, he had a number of other hits that reached the Top 10 on the charts: "Kisses Sweeter than Wine", "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again", "Secretly", and "Are You Really Mine". Other hits include "Bo Diddley", "Bimbombey", "Ring-a-ling-a-lario", "Tucumcari," "Tender Love and Care (T.L.C)", and a version of Waltzing Matilda as a film tie-in with the apocalyptic movie On the Beach. In the United Kingdom, "Honeycomb" reached Number 30 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1957, but "Kisses Sweeter than Wine" climbed to Number 7 the following month. In 1958, he appeared on NBC's The Gisele MacKenzie Show. Also in 1958 he sang the opening theme song of the movie The Long, Hot Summer, starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and Orson Welles. He then had his own short-lived televised variety show on NBC. He is not related to the earlier country singer of the same name, who coincidentally died the same year the younger Rodgers was born. Among country audiences, the younger Rodgers is often known as Jimmie F. Rodgers to differentiate the two.WIKIPEDIA
She & Him is an American indie duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward
Actress Deschanel and Ward first met on the set of the film The Go-Getter, in which Deschanel had a starring role. The director, Martin Hynes, introduced them to each other and asked them to sing a duet together to be played at the end credits of the film. They decided to perform a Richard and Linda Thompson song titled "When I Get to the Border." WIKIPEDIAThe two bonded over a shared interest in the records produced by George Martin and Phil Spector, as well as certain Ralph Peer groups, such as the Carter FamilyThe band's first album, Volume One, was released on Merge Records in March 2008. The duo is augmented by session musicians Scott McPherson (drums), Chris Scruggs (pedal steel guitar, mandolin) and Mike Coykendall (bass, guitar).
Peter, Paul and Mary were a United States folk-singing trio
Their 50-year career began with their rise to become a paradigm for 1960s folk music. The trio was composed of folk song writer Peter Yarrow, (Noel) Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. After the death of Mary Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.
Diana Ernestine Earle Ross (born March 26, 1944) is an American singer
Born and raised in Detroit, she rose to fame as a founding member and lead singer of the vocal group The Supremes, which, during the 1960s, became Motown's most successful act and is to this day America's most successful vocal group. As part of the Supremes, Ross most notably rivalled the career of The Beatles in worldwide popularity, and their success made it possible for future African American R&B and soul acts to find mainstream success. WIKIPEDIA Following her departure from The Supremes in 1970, Ross released her debut solo album, Diana Ross, which contained the hits "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Ross also ventured into acting, with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nominated performance in Lady Sings the Blues (1972). She also starred in two other feature films, Mahogany (1975) and The Wiz (1978); later acting included roles in the television films Out of Darkness (1994) and Double Platinum (1998).
The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961.
The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Emerging at the vanguard of the "California Sound", the band's early music gained international popularity for their distinct vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. Influenced by jazz-based vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and doo-wop, Brian led the band to experiment with several genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic and baroque while devising novel approaches to music production and arranging. While initially managed by the Wilsons' father Murry, Brian's creative ambitions and sophisticated songwriting abilities dominated the group's musical direction.

College Hunks: Who are you and what do you and your organization do?
Mary Ellen Etienne: My name is MaryEllen Etienne, and I am the founder and executive director of the Reuse Alliance. The Reuse Alliance is a nonprofit organization that is working to increase public awareness of reuse by educating individuals and organizations about the social, environmental and economic benefits of reuse.
We encourage people to join the reuse movement in order to create a cleaner environment and a greener economy.
CHHJ: How does reuse differ from recycling?
MEE: I know many people use these words synonymously, but they are actually quite different. Reuse involves extending the life of an item by using it more than once. This includes conventional reuse where the item is used again as-is for the same function it was manufactured for.
Up-cycling and re-purposing is where the addition of creativity brings a new use to the reusable materials where a product is designed to be used over and over again (bags, bottles, etc).
Recycling breaks down items like cardboard or metal into its raw materials through mechanical processes expending additional energy (i.e. crushing, smelting, etc).
CHHJ: Why is reuse important?
MEE: The reason I'm so passionate about reuse is because it offers triple bottom line benefits. By taking useful products and exchanging them, without processing them, reuse saves time, money, energy and resources.
In terms of the environment it eliminates waste and reduces toxic emissions. In economic terms, reuse offers quality products to individuals and organizations with limited means, while generating green-collar jobs and business activity that contribute to the economy.
And in terms of its social impact, reuse can literally be the difference between someone meeting critical needs of food, clothing and shelter, or not.
MEE: There's just so much reuse happening out there, I can't choose just one. People are engaging in reuse everyday around the globe. Opportunities to reuse are everywhere – from food rescue to re-manufactured toner cartridges, and vintage clothing to refurbished household furniture.
There are hundreds of Goodwills, Habitat ReStores, consignment shops and up-cycling designers within your communities. Reuse is also happening online? through municipal, commercial and residential materials exchanges such as the 2Good2Waste, Reuse Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, and Freecycling.
Large businesses and institutions, such as hospitals, are even setting up internal materials exchanges to share items within their organizations. And green builders are preserving resources by deconstructing buildings or utilizing adaptive reuse techniques.
ReuseConex will show us how reuse will change the way we combat global climate change and how we move into a new green economy. For reuse organizations (for-profit and non-profit), ReuseConex will share best practices that can help you maintain and grow your reuse operation.
We'll also have a host of exciting activities including a ReArt Exhibit, a ReFashion Show and movie screenings of No Impact Man.
Secure Your Spot At The Reuse Conference!

Spray-Wall Dynamics of High-Pressure Impinging Combustion
The fuel spray impingement on the piston head and/or chamber often occurs in compact IC engines. The impingement plays one of the key roles in combustion because it affects the air-fuel mixing process. In this study, the impinged combustion has been experimentally investigated to understand the mechanism and dynamics of flame-wall interaction. The experiments were performed in a constant volume combustion chamber over a wide range of ambient conditions. The ambient temperature was varied from 800 K to 1000 K and ambient gas oxygen was varied from 15% to 21%. Diesel fuel was injected with an injection pressure of 150 MPa into ambient gas at a density of 22.8 kg/m3. The natural luminosity technique was applied in the experiments to explore the impinged combustion process. High-speed images were taken using a high-speed camera from two different views (bottom and side). An in-house Matlab program was used to post-process the images.
Splashing Criterion and Topological Features of a Single Droplet Impinging on the Flat Plate
This paper aims to provide the experimental and numerical investigation of a single fuel droplet impingement on the different wall conditions to understand the detailed impinging dynamic process. The experimental work was carried out at the room temperature and pressure except for the variation of the impinged wall temperature. A high-speed camera was employed to capture the silhouette of the droplet impinging on wall process against a collimated light. Water, diesel, n-dodecane, and n-heptane were considered as four different droplets and injected from a precision syringe pump with the volume flow rate of 0.2 mL/min at various impact Weber numbers. The impingement outcomes after droplet impacting on the wall include stick, spread, rebound and splash, which depend on the controlling parameters of Weber number, Reynolds number, liquid and surface properties, etc.
Numerical Study on Evaporation of Spherical Droplets Impinging on the Wall Using Volume of Fluid (VOF) Model
This paper aims to extend the existing Volume of Fluid (VOF) model by implementing an evaporation sub-model in an open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM. The paper applies the new model to numerically study the evaporation of spherical n-heptane droplets impinging on a hot wall at atmospheric pressure and a temperature above the Leidenfrost temperature. Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is chosen to track the liquid gas interface and the capability of VOF method implemented in interDyMFoam solver of OpenFOAM to simulate hydrodynamics during droplet-droplet interaction and droplet-film interaction is explored. Firstly, the in-built solver is used to simulate problems in isothermal conditions and the simulation results are compared qualitatively with the published results to validate the solver. A numerical method for modeling heat and mass transfer during evaporation is implemented in conjunction with the VOF.
Investigation of Multi-Hole Impinging Jet High Pressure Spray Characteristics under Gasoline Engine-Like Conditions
Impingement of jet-to-jet has been found to give improved spray penetration characteristics and higher vaporization rates when compared to multi-hole outwardly injecting fuel injectors which are commonly used in the gasoline engine. The current work studies a non-reacting spray by using a 5-hole impinging-jet style direct-injection injector. The jet-to-jet collision induced by the inwardly opening nozzles of the multi-hole injector produces rapid and short jet breakup which is fundamentally different from how conventional fuel injectors operate. A non-reacting spray study is performed using a 5-hole impinging jet injector and a traditional 6-hole Bosch Hochdruck-Einspritzventil (HDEV)-5 gasoline direct-injection (GDI) injector with gasoline as a fuel injected at 172 bar pressure with ambient temperature of 653 K and 490 K and ambient pressure of 37.4 bar and 12.4 bar.
Effect of Combustion on Diesel Spray Penetrations in Relation to Vaporizing, Non-Reacting Sprays
Extensive studies have addressed diesel sprays under non-vaporizing, vaporizing and combusting conditions respectively, but further insights into the mechanism by which combustion alters the macroscopic characteristics including the spray penetration and the shape of the spray under diesel engine conditions are needed. Contradictory observations are reported in the literature regarding the combusting diesel spray penetration compared to the inert conditions, and it is an objective of this study to provide further insights and analyses on the combusting spray characteristics by expanding the range of operating parameters. Parameters varied in the studies are charge gas conditions including oxygen levels of 0 %, 15%, 19%, charge densities of 22.8 & 34.8 kg/m3, and charge temperatures of 800, 900 & 1050 K for injection pressures of 1200, 1500, and 1800 bar with a single-hole injector with a nozzle diameter of 100 μm.
An Experimental and Numerical Study of Diesel Spray Impingement on a Flat Plate
Combustion systems with advanced injection strategies have been extensively studied, but there still exists a significant fundamental knowledge gap on fuel spray interactions with the piston surface and chamber walls. This paper is meant to provide detailed data on spray-wall impingement physics and support the spray-wall model development. The experimental work of spray-wall impingement with non-vaporizing spray characterization, was carried out in a high pressure-temperature constant-volume combustion vessel. The simultaneous Mie scattering of liquid spray and schlieren of liquid and vapor spray were carried out. Diesel fuel was injected at a pressure of 1500 bar into ambient gas at a density of 22.8 kg/m3 with isothermal conditions (fuel, ambient, and plate temperatures of 423 K). A Lagrangian-Eulerian modeling approach was employed to characterize the spray-gas and spray-wall interactions in the CONVERGETM framework by means of a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulation.

The Wildest Party Ever Hits the Jungle
When the Netflix Original Series
ALL HAIL KING JULIEN Debuts Dec. 19
Head Back to Madagascar for a Non-Stop Party as Julien Takes the Throne, with Mort, Maurice and a Colorful Cast of New Characters in His Court
GLENDALE and BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Nov. 3, 2014) – The world's biggest party animal is getting ready to ascend to the throne in DreamWorks Animation's ALL HAIL KING JULIEN, an all-new Netflix original TV series. The first five 22-minute episodes will be available to Netflix members in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, UK, Ireland, the Nordics, Benelux and France to watch instantly beginning on Friday, Dec. 19.
Long before the Zoosters arrive on Madagascar, King Julien holds court – not to mention nightly revelries – over a colorful cast that includes fan favorites Mort and Maurice, along with a host of all-new jungle dwellers as they take on the craziest adventures and wildest parties the jungle has to offer.
Keeping tune with the dance-crazed taste of its lead character, the humor of ALL HAIL KING JULIEN is backed by a pulse-pounding original score that includes a brand-new, infectiously upbeat theme song. The series features a talented voice cast that includes television legend Henry Winkler (Happy Days) as Julien's regal predecessor, Uncle King Julien, alongside Emmy-winning actor Danny Jacobs as King Julien, Andy Richter (Conan, Arrested Development) as Mort, Kevin Michael Richardson (Family Guy) as Maurice, and India de Beaufort (One Tree Hill) as Clover, the king's special-ops expert.
ALL HAIL KING JULIEN joins the hit series Turbo FAST in a growing lineup of Netflix original animated productions from DreamWorks Animation. By the end of 2016, DreamWorks Animation will debut 10 additional new series on the world's leading Internet TV Network.
"The combination of comedy, original music and stories of simple lemur life turned upside-down and fabulous by King Julien makes this series unique," said Margie Cohn, head of television for DreamWorks Animation. "All Hail King Julien is really a showcase for our talented artists to bring the Netflix audience the great storytelling, compelling characters and fantastic design that is the hallmark of DreamWorks Animation."
"We are excited to add a series focused on one of the most beloved characters from Madagascar to our growing line-up from DreamWorks Animation," said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content, Netflix. "King Julien knows how to throw a great party and we expect families around the world will enjoy spending their holidays with him."
New 22-minute episodes of ALL HAIL KING JULIEN will debut throughout the coming year.

I will be heading out for a few days over the holiday weekend, so I may not get any blog posts up here until sometime next week. Never fear, there will be plenty of fishing in my weekend, plenty of family time and one big family chore we do every Memorial Day weekend. Tune in again next week for the report and stories.
Until then, just for fun, I am posting the following video clip. Those of you who are fly-anglers will appreciate this one. Make sure you watch past the commercial at the beginning.
One of my nephews sent me that clip; I have had it for awhile. This is the nephew who is a fly-fishing fool and is guiding on the Bighorn River in Montana. I heard that last week he got to guide everyone from 20-year old girls who had never fly-fished before (I am still waiting for pictures) to 70-year old gentlemen with artificial hips and knees.
And getting paid for it!

Q: Hibernate FK reference issue I have an entity with reference to another one by FK, at the same time I have a field mapped on the same column to have access right to the identifier, let's say
@Entity
@Table(name = "book")
public class Book {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    Long id;

    @JoinColumn(name = "author_id")
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    Author author;

    @Column(name = "author_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
    Long authorId;
}

so, for now on select via JPA repository (findById for instance) the field of "authorId" is always null, but in actual database it exists and object of "author" fills correctly. Tested in the transaction and outside - result is the same.
About app - it is spring boot 2.2.8 with spring data
Are there any ideas where I can be wrong?
*Update: found the reason - all the found entities are cached somehow, after detaching them from persistence context all data loads as expected. Seems it's clear, but still cant get where interactions with these entities appear, obviously not in my tx - it is pretty small and simple. Never thought that neighboring transactions can affect cache this way =((
