Managed Services vs. Outsourcing. How Do You Know the Difference?
By now you've probably heard the term "managed services" tossed around quite a bit. It's a powerful concept that will change the landscape in physical security, now more than ever.
You may ask, what exactly is it and how does it differ from outsourcing? A true managed services model has key distinguishing components which significantly set it apart from the outsourcing model. The quickest and easiest way to identify a physical security provider who offers true managed services is to ask 3 simple questions.
What is your process for handling tickets and alerts?
Understanding how support tickets and system alerts are triaged and resolved is a simple way to identify which type of model your service provider utilizes. A managed services model relies on a framework of people, process and workflow automation built into their system to provide a consistent level of service. This system will automate alerts based on severity, provide ticket prioritization based on issue type and deliver consistent service level agreements. Alternatively, outsourcing is a conventional one-to-one ratio model where you replace your headcount with the service providers resources at a markup. A customer receives dedicated resources to handle all tickets and alerts however they will lack intimate knowledge of your environment or any outstanding issues. Without this knowledge, prioritization and resolution of issues can be prolonged and sometimes even further complicated.
What does the reporting structure look like?
How information is disseminated and reports are delivered is another revealing indicator of a true managed services provider. Reports from a managed services provider are generated through automated technology on a defined and consistent schedule to provide transparency in real time. With outsourcing, the dedicated resource generates reports on an ad-hoc basis for the customer. Without the automation, it's typical to see a lack in reporting consistency and regimen.
What does the pricing structure look like?
The most obvious line in the sand is when it comes to pricing. Almost always, the managed services model boasts a lower cost solution with a higher level of service than outsourcing can. The standard calculation for outsourcing takes the dedicated people + burden rate + margin (which typically ranges from 20%-30%). Whereas the managed services model relies on technology, automation and a refined team without the need for dedicated resources for each customer which significantly reduces cost of service.
To wrap it all up.
There has been a lot of buzz in the industry about managed services but no clear language to differentiate the concept from outsourcing. While at first glance it may seem the two are one in the same, given that they are both services that essentially allow a company to remove the internal burden of managing security, the managed services model is far greater in capabilities. It's not just a service, but a powerful framework that's redefining the security industry. Inquiring on the ticketing process, reporting structure and pricing can quickly clear the confusion and allow you to distinguish managed services from outsourcing.

Eat more, sleep more — love life way more.
By Marisa Cohen
If you long for the days when you had your kid's metabolism (or half their energy) this is the plan for you. With some simple lifestyle changes, like more squats or fewer snacks, you can move the needle on the number of calories you burn and your overall happiness.
Week 1: Wrangle your stress.
In an Ohio State University study, women who were experiencing high levels of stress burned fewer calories after eating a fatty meal than their peers. "When you're stressed, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode," says obesity specialist Alexandra Sowa, M.D., founder of SoWell Health and clinical instructor at NYU Langone. "Hormones shift, and your metabolism can slow, because your body wants to conserve energy and store fat for the challenges ahead."
Higher levels of the stress horomone cortisol can also disrupt sleep and increase hunger, making you crave foods high in sugar and fat, explains Jessica Bartfield, M.D., assistant professor in the Weight Management Center at Wake Forest Medical Center in North Carolina. Activities like meditation can help counteract the physiological effects of stress. Here's how three busy women carve out time for this every day.
Find a relaxing hobby.
"After a tough day at work, I plop down on my couch to knit, and within minutes I feel more relaxed. The clicking of the needles is really soothing, and the repetitive motion lets me zone out." — Randi Pellett, Brooklyn
Jot down your thoughts.
"I sit at my kitchen island for 15 minutes each morning, before anyone else is awake, to write in my gratitude journal, have a cup of coffee, and watch the sun rise. This routine helped keep me calm and focused during a difficult year." — Carol Winett Perlman, Franklin, Maine
Find time for meditation.
"I get to the school pickup lane 20 minutes early so I can meditate in my car while I wait for my kids. I either focus my attention on my breath — inhaling and exhaling for three seconds each time — or play a guided meditation on YouTube. It's the only uninterrupted time I get all day." — Natalie King Smith, Ramsey, New Jersey
Week 2: Finally get a good night's sleep.
Your newfound chill will help you meet your next challenge: getting some much-needed shut-eye. The hormone ghrelin, which makes you hungry, tends to rise if you don't sleep well — and leptin, which tells you when you're full, tends to drop, explains Dr. Sowa. This throws off your hunger cues and may actually slow your metabolism.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that when subjects were allowed to sleep only four hours a night for five nights in a row, their resting metabolic rate decreased by about 50 calories per day. (And research shows that sleep-deprived people eat more.) Find out what's keeping you up and work to fix it this week.
Sleep is for your bed.
You're so exhausted that you crash on the couch after dinner — but those catnaps can prevent you from sleeping soundly when it really counts, says Robbins. "When you fall asleep in front of the TV, you're using some of the sleep pressure that builds up during the day. If you then get up and move to the bedroom, sleep pressure, and with it the hormone melatonin, is reduced, making it harder to fall back asleep."
If you're super tired, do something to stay awake — clean up the kitchen or work on the puzzle you never finished. "Then start your bedtime routine and get into bed, and the still-building pressure will help you drift off," Robbins says.
Leave tech out of the bedroom.
If bedtime bleeds into the wee hours as you catch up on emails, Facebook, or Queer Eye, so you try to make up for it by sleeping in on the weekends, just stop. You can't stockpile sleep and spending extra hours in bed on the weekend can mess with your circadian rhythm, says Rebecca Robbins, Ph.D., a sleep researcher and author of Sleep for Success!
Set a specific bedtime (count back seven hours before you need wake up), then spend the hour before that winding down. "Shut off electronics and start a routine of reading, bathing, or meditating," Robbins suggests. When you reach your cutoff time, slide into bed and shut your eyes.
De-stress before hitting the pillow.
Falling asleep is no problem, but staying asleep is impossible. You toss and turn constantly worrying about the next day. Keep a notebook on your nightstand and write down your concerns each night. "Putting those thoughts down on paper gets them out of your mind and onto a physical list you can deal with in the morning," explains Robbins.
If you still wake up at 3 a.m., get out of bed. "You don't want to associate your bed with the anxiety of tossing and turning," she says. Read or meditate in an armchair until your eyelids feel heavy again. (No screens!)
Week 3: Tackle your eating habits.
Your goal this week is to fuel your metabolism with frequent nutrient-rich meals and snacks. "The best way to boost your metabolism is to combine protein and fiber — they'll give you the long-lasting energy you need to be more active," says registered dietitian Lyssie Lakatos, coauthor of Fire Up Your Metabolism. Protein is also key for building muscle, which you'll soon learn is crucial.
What you should be eating.
Here's what a protein- and fiber-packed day should look like, with sample meals from Lyssie and her twin sister, registered dietitian Tammy Lakatos Shames. (You can find ideas and recipes to fill up your week at nutritiontwins.com.)
7 A.M. BREAKFAST: Fill a whole-grain wrap with two eggs (any style) and sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella; have kiwi or banana on the side.
11 A.M. MIDMORNING SNACK: 1 oz pistachios (roughly 45)
1 P.M. LUNCH: Combine 1/2 cup farro with 1/4 cup lentils, roasted veggies, and 2 oz grilled or roasted chicken breast; toss over mixed greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
4 P.M. MIDAFTERNOON SNACK: 3/4 cup frozen grapes (about 24 small grapes) dipped in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
7 P.M. DINNER: Prepare 4 oz salmon fillet with 1/3 cup pineapple salsa, ½ cup brown rice, and 1 to 2 cups steamed or roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans.
Week 4: Burn even more calories.
Get this: One pound of muscle burns six calories a day at rest, while one pound of fat burns just two calories, says Claude Bouchard, Ph.D., professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University. So the more muscle you build, the more calories you'll burn, even when you're just lying around. "We have an almost unlimited ability to strength-train at any age, so you can improve your metabolism to whatever degree you're willing to work for it," says trainer Holly Perkins, author of Lift to Get Lean and founder of Women's Strength Nation.
Move as much as possible.
Cardio is essential, but add 10 minutes of strength moves before or after your usual run or dance class. Then aim to move more throughout the day: Activities such as walking stairs, gardening, and cleaning your floors can burn up to 200 extra calories per hour.
Never lifted a dumbbell before? That's okay — start with body-weight exercises. "Even if you just do 10 squats while you're cooking dinner, that's a great start," says Perkins, who suggests working your way up to the range of moves at right.
Change things up.
As you get older, you naturally lose muscle mass — but you can fight back by consistently challenging your body with your routine. Add reps or try heavier weights every two weeks, and make the switch to an entirely new workout every three to four months.
If you really want to push your workout to its full potential, try High-intensity interval training (HIIT). It's been shown to boost metabolism and burn more fat. The concept is simple: Alternate intense activity with more moderate intervals. "Choose any type of cardiovascular exercise you like — jogging, cycling, elliptical, swimming," says Perkins. "Go at an intensity of about 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 for two minutes, then recover for one minute before going again." After you've done that for two to four weeks, increase your intensity to a 9 or 10.

Q: When current flows from a battery, does voltage decrease? I understand voltage to be a potential for electrons to be pushed through a circuit.
However, in a battery, you have an electron build-up that creates the voltage. Once current begins to flow, electrons are now moving through the circuit.
Does this mean that the voltage actually begins to decrease as a direct result of current flow? Specifically are electrons "used up" or do they simply lose energy (dissipated as heat in circuit) which leads to a lower voltage potential?
Or another scenario, do the electrons, upon returning to the battery, still act as voltage potential to continue to push a consistent amount of current through a circuit despite the loss of energy?
Or is there something else I'm missing entirely?
Thanks.

A: The voltage of the battery depends on the chemistry of the cell it is based on. For ex, a Lithium-Polymer cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V and that of a lead-acid cell is 2V. For cells belonging to a particular chemistry, the voltage depends on many factors, the prominent one being the concentrations of the electrolyte, electrodes etc. The increase and decrease of cell voltages while charging and discharging is due to the changes in the these values. However, the number of electrons inside of a battery doesn't change in normal operation no matter what. Applying Kirchhoff's current law, you can check it for yourselves. No matter your circuit and its operating conditions, the current going out of the battery should be equal to the current going in. The voltage only changes because the chemicals inside the cell are changed slightly and not because of a change in the number of electrons. Coming to the heat part, the heat generated in the circuit is compensated by the loss in potential energy of the battery.

A: In general, the answer to your your question is, "yes". As other answers have pointed out, a battery has an effective resistance. This is, in part, do to the fact that the internal structure has an intrinsic resistance. However, it also reflects the fact that the ions in the electrolyte, which are involved in the production of energy, have limited mobility, and this limits the current available and reduces battery voltage under load.
However, just to make your life difficult, it is possible for a battery voltage to rise with increasing load. I've seen it. It's a long-term effect, and I observed it while doing capacity testing on a NiMH battery pack which was going to be used on a missile shot (suborbital). Running the battery with a constant current load, I observed the output voltage gradually rise over time. The cause was fact that the internal power dissipation produced a temperature rise in the pack, and the output voltage rises (all else being equal) with temperature. After running for a while (the test duration was designed to deplete the battery in about 45 minutes), the output voltage under heavy load was actually higher than the battery produced under light load at the beginning of the test.
It was weird, but made sense when I figured out what was going on.

A: Strictly speaking, batteries are a means to push electrons.  They don't use them up.
However, a battery also has an effective internal resistance.  This resistance is dependent on a number of things (cell chemistry, temperature, cell age).  The higher the internal resistance, the more voltage will be dropped internally, and the less force the battery has to push electrons.
This reference is an excellent read on the subject.

A: Voltage drop starts with a flow of current thru a resistive loss. This is the equivalent circuit.  It can also be an exchange of charge between multiple internal capacitors Q=CV each with different ESR.  This is why shorting a battery momentarily returns to some charged voltage level by the exchange of charge Q=CV between multiple layers of dielectric charge.
Current is simply the rate of change of charges per second. I=dQ/dt

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Yes all batteries have a series resistance which causes voltage drop and ESR is somewhat inverse to mAh capacity and voltage.
e.g. 3.7V 2600mAh Lipo can have 5 to 50mOhm ESR
50Ah car battery can have 700CCA or < 7 mOhm ESR @  5V drop with 700A

A: Electrons aren't used up they just stop migrating from one pole to the other because the battery is depleted.
Imagine a double ended recipient with a diaphragm :

The pressure is the voltage (Diaphragm pushing).
As soon as you open the valve you get a current.
Opening the valve will also lower the pressure.
The more you open the valve the higher the current gets.
When the current rises the pressure will fall.
Everything that goes out comes back in, nothing is lost (closed circuit).

A: A real physical battery, in particular a real physical Lead-Acid battery, has significant capacitance because of the arrangement, orientation, structure of the chemical elements.
The capacitance means that electrons do "build up" and "run down" in the battery.  But... this is not what a chemical battery "is": it is a feature of what a particular implementation does.  For a discussion, read up on capacitors first, then batteries.
Real lead-acid batteries also exhibit concentration gradients.  This too is a "build up" and "run down" phenomena. Again, this isn't "how a battery works", it's "how actual batteries that people make and sell" work.

Food security in different regions and states of the country may vary from each other based on their economic development activities, social network, infrastructure development, how it is seen on the development of the regions and states, how budget is allocated to utilize for the activities involved, other aspects etc.
Even if enough food exists in absolute terms to feed the whole population, one cannot assume that it is distributed equally. Access to food at the household level must be assessed. This is dependent upon socio-economic factors, which determine the ability of households to either produce their own food or earn enough income to purchase food. Food access also depends on the price of food and its volatility over time, relative to household income.
For the agriculture sector, the aim is to increase the productivity and diversity of food stuffs and will focus on nutrient-dense crops, fish and animal-based foods, with an effort to integrate these into mixed farming systems.
Even though Myanmar is a resource rich country, with sufficient food availability at the national level, uneven distribution of resources and low investments in key sectors have an impact on household food security.
Progress has been made in promoting food and nutrition security in the past few years, but there are still significant gains to be made. It is a key objective of the Government of Myanmar to eliminate hunger in the country and to ensure that all people in all States and Regions have access to sufficient nutritious food to sustain their health, support their work and allow their children to develop to their full cognitive and physical potential.
Food availability: The availability of sufficient quantities of food of appropriate quality, supplied through domestic production and/ or imports (including food aid).
Food accessibility: Access by individuals to adequate resources (entitlements) for acquiring appropriate foods for a nutritious diet. Entitlements are defined as the set of all commodity bundles over which a person can establish command given the legal, political, economic and social arrangements of the community in which they live (including traditional rights such as access to common resources).
Utilization: Utilization of food through adequate diet, clean water, sanitation and health care to reach a state of nutritional well-being where all physiological needs are met. This brings out the importance of non-food inputs in food security.
Within the context of this framework, food security in different regions and states of the country may vary from each other based on their economic development activities, social network, infrastructure development, how it is seen on the development of the regions and states, how the budget is allocated to utilize for the activities involved, other aspects etc.
For food and nutrition security to exist food must also be utilized properly. This requires a biological-based approach, which looks at the biophysical needs of the body for nutrient intake and absorption. Immediate factors affecting food utilization include dietary intake as well as the prevalence of disease. These immediate factors are, in turn, dependent on underlying factors. Dietary intake is essentially the food that is consumed by the body. This is dependent on food security and a variety of cultural and socio-economic factors at the household level which influence the care practices. Disease can inhibit the body's ability to absorb nutrients. This is largely a factor of the of health environment, care practices related to hygiene, and access to healthcare.
When food is available, accessible and utilized appropriately by all members of the population in a conducive health environment, food and nutrition security is achieved and positive nutritional outcomes can be expected. The following section of this Strategic Review unpacks these three dimensions of food and nutrition security and assesses their impact on nutritional outcomes.
The World Food Program in Myanmar mentioned that several States and Regions suffer from high levels of food insecurity, especially Northern Rakhine, Chin, Kachin and Shan states, as well as Magway Region. The national prevalence of acute malnutrition among children under 5 is nearly 9 %. According to the 2010 IHLCA Survey, more than a quarter of Myanmar people are poor. Although agriculture is mainstay of dominant share of rural population, food poverty in rural area is higher than that of the urban area. This is because of the difference in food availability and economic access to food. Myanmar is also vulnerable to natural disasters, such as cyclones, landslides, earthquakes and droughts (WFP, 2017).
In Myanmar, the national average incidence of food poverty (10 %) masks the same important heterogeneity across states/regions, and in roughly the same manner as the national poverty incidence. Eleven of the states/regions experience less than half the national food poverty incidence, while one (Chin state) experiences two and one half times that average (or 25 % poverty incidence).
Poverty indicators from successive rounds of the Integrated Household Living Conditions ("IHLCA") surveys provide the best available estimates of the incidence and distribution of poverty and food poverty in Myanmar. Here, poverty incidence represents the percentage of the population who are deemed poor, while food poverty incidence represents the percentage of the population who do not have sufficient income to purchase the local food basket at prevailing market prices. The most recent IHLCA indicates an estimated 25.6 % of Myanmar's households live below the national poverty line. The same survey indicates approximately 10 % live below the official food poverty line. Other reports suggest poverty rates are much higher – on the order of a minimum of 50 %.
The Sustainable Development Goal on "End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture" (SDG 2) recognizes the inter linkages among supporting sustainable agriculture, empowering small farmers, promoting gender equality, ending rural poverty, creating healthy food environments that enable healthy decisions, tackling climate change, and other issues.
Throughout Myanmar's history, successive governments had set their policies to support the rice sector because of its critical role in food security, and its social and political importance in the country. In 2011, the country opened its doors toward democratic and economic transformation. One of the development goals set by the previous government is to increase rice export while maintaining domestic food security. It is envisaged that increasing rice export will generate the needed income to fuel agricultural development, revive the economy, and alleviate poverty pervading in rural areas. With new democratic government in 2016, the vision for agriculture is set in line with the sustainable development goals, which is an inclusive, sustainable and increasingly productive and resilient agricultural sector, providing access to safe and nutritious food for all the people; rising income for rural population, particularly smallholder farmers and landless people; and modern and innovative domestic and export-oriented agribusiness.
In Myanmar, more than 65 % of households rely on income from the agricultural sector. At the national level and especially for rural households, the most important sources of income are either through production and sale of agricultural commodities or work as daily laborers.
Among those without access to land, casual labor constitutes the most important income source. Nearly half of landless households depend primarily on farm labor as their primary source of income. Importantly, without access to land, many landless households rely almost entirely on casual labor to earn the income necessary to access food from the market. The strong seasonality of agricultural employment, very low wage rates (many around US$ 3 per day as of February 2017) for that agricultural employment, and seasonal underemployment severely limits annual incomes of landless households.
Microenterprise activities, such as textile-weaving, basket weaving, small-scale trading, and fishing provide some supplementary income; these types of small business activities provide primary income support for 15 % of landless households. Some of these microenterprises are possible through access to rented or borrowed land. According to the LIFT (Livelihood and Food Security Trust Fund), 10 percent of landless households were able to gain access to land through rental for cash, sharecropping, sharing land with other farmers, or borrowing land for cultivation free of charge (usually from relatives). Finally, some landless households rely at least partially on remittances, or "safety nets" provided by the community, or NGO/CBO, but the relative contribution of these income sources to household income is very poorly documented. The percentage of rural households relying on casual labor appears to be growing. IHLCA reports that 21 % of rural households relied on casual labor in 2009-10, but the percentage of poor rural households relying on casual labor increased from 23 % to 28 % in the preceding five-year period. Strong evidence indicates that these numbers have very likely increased much more. This trend has worrying consequences for household food security as well as the stability of civil society in the near term if there is not concern for food security.
In lowlands and along rivers, fisheries play a role in income generation and offer a source of protein for household nutrition. According to a FAO (2003) study, fisheries (marine, inland and aquaculture) directly employ more than three million people, and some 12 to 15 million people indirectly benefit from this sector. Postharvest fish preparation, including drying, smoking, salting, and fermentation reportedly provides an important income source, particularly for women. For the landless, fishing represents an important alternative employment which does not require large up-front investment. Some evidence say that there is oligopolistic control of fishing licenses, which prevent some landless from accessing this as an income source.
In hilly areas and some upland areas, timber and non-timber forest products also contribute to income generation. Collecting wood (legally or illegally) provides job opportunities particularly in the rural areas. Wood and charcoal represent alternative energy sources in a country with insufficient and limited provision of gas and electric power. According to Htun (2009), total fuel wood consumption in 2005 was around 45 million cubic meters. Charcoal production is also an important income source around the country. For rural people, extracting products such as wild fruits, latex, essential oils, wax, and medicinal wood provide additional income. In deep rural areas, forests also act as shelters for some landless and extreme poor. In urban areas, in Yangon and Mandalay, more than 100 wood export industries provide employment for skilled and unskilled labor.
Major obstacles to food security include extreme poverty, inadequate food distribution, supply disruptions, food waste, government policies that inhibit trade and negatively affect farmers, environmental impact, growing resistance to the use of some agricultural technologies and price volatility. Food security can be improved by honoring comparative advantage, enabling open markets, supporting smallholder farmers, enabling country to realize its food production potential, leveraging technology, improving nutrition, and encouraging agricultural investments.
Important activities to improve household food security include: dissemination of technology related to production, preservation, storage and distribution of food; generation of family income by developing financial institutions; and monitoring food security status to cope with emergencies. Under food quality and food safety sector, enforcing quality control measures for food manufacturers and encouragement of research related to quality control measures for food production were major activities among others to be implemented.
In 2015, the Government of Myanmar, under the guidance of a National Working Committee on Food and Nutrition Security (WCFNS), conceptualized the Myanmar National Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Security (MNAPFNS). It was developed in response to the recognition that the achievement of dramatic improvements in the status of the food and nutrition situation in Myanmar constitutes one of the key strategies in the drive for the country to achieve middle-income status by 2025. MNAPFNS takes into account global as well as specific national and local situations and challenges with regard to food and nutrition security. It also considers the opportunities that have been identified, the commitments that have made and the initiatives that have been launched to tackle food and nutrition insecurity at multiple levels.
In addition, to the above, the SUN country movement closely supports Pillar 2 of MNAPFNS, which focuses on the reduction of stunting and all other forms of undernutrition, while ensuring that nutrition sensitive strategies are mainstreamed across all pillars of MNAPFNS.
Through MNAPFNS, the Government of Myanmar and its partners planned to work together through collective multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder action to ensure that all people enjoy the right to food and adequate nutrition. MNAPFNS is an action plan and guiding tool, with a common result framework that outlines key goals and priority interventions needed to achieve sustained, accelerate reduction in and eradication of food insecurity and undernutrition. In particular, attention to both nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions in health, agriculture, livestock and fisheries and other relevant social sectors were to be scaled-up under MNAPFNS.
This also included the transformation of Myanmar's agriculture sector (which includes crops, livestock, fisheries, forestry) from subsistence to increased production and income generation for farmers, decreased loss and wastage of food, an increase in the percentage of paid workers in the agriculture sector and adequate provision of social safety nets. In addition to nutrition sensitive agriculture, the Government and its partners built measures to tackle malnutrition with proven health-based interventions including support to Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), micronutrient supplementation, integrated management of acute malnutrition, improved access to health services and adequate hygiene and sanitation. Furthermore, interventions to support behaviour change towards key actions that contribute to improved health and nutrition, including appropriate IYCF and consumption of nutritious food, were to be prioritized. Strategies and actions to strengthen the enabling policy, legal, regulatory and social protection environment will underpin these interventions.
The MNAPFNS considered the existing architecture of national institutions, policy and planning frameworks and built its strategy on past and on-going food and nutrition efforts in the country; and reflected the diverse views of multiple stakeholders drawn from development partners, private sector and civil society. Various Ministries involved, worked to ensure their contribution to the implementation of MNAPFNS by reflecting priority interventions, strategies, indicators and targets into sectoral budgets and specific operational plans.
The MNAPFNS was not designed to be a direct answer to issues concerning governance, administration, decentralization of power and direct participation. Nevertheless, it was recognized that these and other similar issues had strong actual and potential impacts on food and nutrition security. For this reason, MNAPFNS incorporated measures to improve developments in the above areas. In all the five Pillars, the Action Plan sought to build strong support in strengthening the governance, administrative and staffing structures of all relevant institutions at all levels engaged in Food and Nutrition Security. The Action Plan also included a proposal to establish State and Regional Committees on Food and Nutrition Security. In addition, the design of the Action Plan attached great importance to working with civil society and local government agencies like City Development Committees.
Although priority nutrition specific and sensitive interventions were highlighted in the MNAPFNS, the Plan recognized that relevant sectoral Ministries may continue to have their own comprehensive sectoral plans and operational plans, which may include broader interventions related to food and nutrition. However, these sector plans would work to ensure contribution to and alignment with the MNAPFNS timeframe for achievement of its targets and goals, including parameters for prioritization and implementation.
The Myanmar National Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Security is currently being reviewed by the Government in preparation of a Multisectoral Costed Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Security that is being developed.
The approach of the Myanmar Multisectoral National Plan of Action on Nutrition MS-NPAN will be to strengthen Myanmar's systems for a multisectoral response to malnutrition and deliver a prioritized package of essential nutrition services/interventions. The MS-NPAN is being developed within the context of high level political commitment to address malnutrition in Myanmar.
The overall goal of the Myanmar Multisectoral National Plan of Action on Nutrition (MS-NPAN) will be to "Reduce all forms of malnutrition in mothers, children and adolescent girls" with the expectation that this will lead to healthier and more productive lives that contribute to the overall economic and social aspirations of the country.
Multisectoral National Plan of Action on Nutrition (MS-NPAN) covering the five-year period between 2018 and 2022, will be an evidence-based plan to address the high levels of malnutrition in Myanmar and establish the systems and capacity required to assure that achievements are sustained.
For the agriculture sector, the aim is to increase the productivity and diversity of food stuffs will focus on nutrient-dense crops, fish and animal-based foods, with an effort to integrate these into mixed farming systems. This will be achieved through strengthening and upgrading the agricultural sector by improving access to quality inputs, strengthening extension services including promotion of production and dietary diversity, reducing women's work and labor burden, improving land regulatory framework to enable more flexible and diversified land use, strengthen land tenure, expanding water access at the parcel level to scale-up homestead food production, and supporting farmer's organizations.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) strives to support income generating activities to improve purchasing power, mainly from on-farm activities. This approach includes food-stuff-based agricultural production but also smallholder cash cropping focused on high potential commodities such as coffee, thanaka and other tree/forest products, chillies, onions, ginger, cardamon, elephant foot yam, etc. Major support is given strengthening forest and farmer producer's organizations (FFPO) and linking these to value chain operators and markets. Major interventions to achieve this include improving rural infrastructure, access to household and group credit, gender sensitive and inclusive value chain development, incubation of small scale enterprises, participatory land use planning and crop suitability assessment, primary processing to add value to raw products, and reducing food losses.
Ensuring food safety and improving quality of foods consumed in Myanmar is both a public health concern and prerequisite for accessing international markets. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) is responsible for improving food safety of unprocessed food stuffs (collaborating with FDA) by ensuring the quality and safety of seeds and other inputs, encouraging good agriculture, livestock and fishery practices, safe post-harvest handling (to also reduce losses), and primary processing of animal-based foods.
Challenges in current food systems today is to provide adequate, safe, diversified and nutrient-rich foods needed for healthy diets. Food system change is equally essential to addressing nutrition and food insecurity challenges. In Myanmar, the food system needs to become more nutrition-sensitive. There is also increasing emerging evidence about the relationship between climate change, food security and nutrition, including the relationship between extreme weather events, including both rapid-onset and slow-onset disasters, and food security.
Food safety becomes national agenda for considering healthy people and sound environment for the nation. At present, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, Ministry of Health and Sports, and Ministry of Commerce are undertaking to promote consumers awareness on food safety and supply safe food to the people. The Ministry has issued GAP Certification on Fruit and Vegetable by following ASEAN GAP guidelines and also followed the practiced on GAHP and GAqP. The Ministry of Health and Sports has issued the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Certification/ HACCP which complies with codex guidelines.
Agriculture plays a vital role the development of nation's economy. Food insecurity and malnutrition are very common in Myanmar. In contrast, chronic or long-term food insecurity is typically a result of poverty. The specific causes of chronic food insecurity may include the unavailability of food due to poor production practices or market failures, and/or the inaccessibility of food due to low income. Ensuring food security - the basic right of people to the food they need - is one of the greatest challenges facing the community.

This is an exercise in translating. I mostly sourced it from other previous translations.
for I have lost you, dearest companion.
Your death has destroyed much more than yourself.
Will any of you tell me what happened?
Or does my palace keep you useless rabble for nothing?
My children are motherless and my house is undone.
You left us, you left me!
the dazzling sun beholds, or the starry radiance of the night.
ἀπώλεσας γὰρ μᾶλλον ἢ κατέφθισο.
ἔρημος οἶκος, καὶ τέκν᾽ ὀρφανεύεται.
Based on previous translations by Gilbert Murray (1902), Moses Hadas (1936), David Grene (1942), Philip Vellacott (1953), A.S. Way (1956), and James Morwood (1998). Greek text from Perseus.


The last update I posted here told the tale of 2015 for Sand and myself, a turbulent, often difficult and ultimately amazing year. We shared this to honor those of you who have been following our adventures in saying yes to life - to be transparent about all of the ways life has shown up for us. And, in that post, we also declared our first thoughts and visions about finding our own specific ways to offer ourselves in service to life throughout the world, hitching our wagon to our own star.
The response we have received has been overwhelming and profoundly moving.
These offers showed up in so many different ways, and we wanted to capture the tremendous feeling of receiving, how humbled and moved we have been - to be touched by this level of kindness was raw, sacred and beautiful. Someone once said, one of the hardest thing for a human being to do is to feel love, true love, and we want to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping us to experience this feeling.
Receiving in this way had us reflect on the question: "What's going on, that so much support wants to flow to us in all of these forms"? "What is this invisible force that moves us so deeply"? Here in the Andes the principle of ayni, or reciprocity, is long established. Its part of the very foundation of the traditional peoples here, not as a good deed, nor as compensation for earlier help, but as part of the way life works. They know that energy is constantly being transferred between humans, nature and the universe.
Person to person it is the sharing of whatever is currently available, and not dependent on there being a return received now or in the future, nor even from the person to whom we give. People trust that the flow will happen in its own sweet way. And it has its own customs; a few years ago local shaman here in the Andes provided us with his cleansing ritual, we paid him. He instructed us not to say thank you; the exchange was already complete, both parties had shared what they had to offer.
Ayni flows in the relationship of local people to pachamama (mother earth), they offer prayers, offerings and ceremonies as reciprocity for the ways in which she supports their lives, day in, day out. Acknowledgement and gratitude flow every time they sit for a meal.
Right now, to us, this looks like a huge influx of support, ayni in many different forms; a friend got in touch last week. She gently reminded me that 7 years ago I had gifted her a box of my Your Planet Needs You books for her to sell, so she could support herself in a heroic mission she had taken on, at that time with only limited funds. I'd long forgotten this, and now, 7 years later in our hour of need, she is offering to pay me for the books.
Sometimes the cycle of reciprocity can not be immediately or simply completed with the same people who have shared their abundance. In these cases, for what we have received, we will be paying that energy forward in different forms in the weeks, months and even years, ahead. Just last week we were able to offer a bed for a few nights to a young French couple who had been robbed on the bus coming into Quito on their back-packing journey through South America. Paying it forward.
The common denominator of ayni, whether it is a prayer, a gift or a helping hand, is love; this giving is love-in-action. And we wanted to share our profound gratitude with each of you, and give you a sense of how your loving kindness has impacted us on this path called life. You don't always get to know how your actions affect others - yet, on this occasion, please know, you affected us deeply and profoundly.
What powerful medicine this is. Not only are we grateful, moved, and considerably helped by the influx of love and support, but we feel as if we've also been gifted a deeper understanding of ayni, and a deeper insight into the what makes the world go round.
May our profound gratitude and future love-in-action help keep this world revolving.
As a way of showing our gratitude we want to offer you a free gift to spur your reflections for the new year, simply click on the link.

Q: How to unzip a compound file in Python I try to unzip a file type *.pcbdoc, it is the file format for Altium. I can see and extract the file structure using "open archive" in 7zip, however I can't seem to open it in Python. I have tried zipfile, py7zr, pyunpack and etc with no luck.
I understand that we don't know for sure what kind of zip format *.pcbdoc is, but how can 7zip open the archive? Can I do the same in python? Can someone give me some help? Thanks a lot.
What I have tried:

*

*import zipfile

zipfile.ZipFile(source_path).extractall(output_path)
got error: zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file

*import py7zr

py7zr.SevenZipFile(source_path, mode='r').extractall(output_path)
got error: py7zr.exceptions.Bad7zFile: not a 7z file

*from pyunpack import Archive

Archive(source_path).extractall(output_path)
got error: pyunpack.PatoolError: patool can not unpack, unknown archive format for file

A: Thanks for the help. Learning from the link in comment: link, I process .pcbdoc as olefile and it is pretty successful. Here is what I did:
import olefile
f=olefile.OleFileIO(source_path).openstream(subfolder_path)
print(f.read().decode(errors="ignore"))


Some of my wins on DealDash.com consisted of a low dollar item that I would be able to trade in at payment for bids instead of the actual product.
When browsing the penny auctions on DealDash I came across a few things which were not useful for me however decided to bid on them anyway. I didn't actually know about the item to bid exchange option at the time or never really noticed it because I was always winning items that I wanted so it did not pertain to me. When you win an auction you actually have two options: a) purchase your item and option b) exchange to bids!
I came across it by accident when I won an auction for a pack of markers. I was paying $1.25 for some Crayola markers I thought my niece may like. There was the usual option to pay for the item and have it shipped or exchange it for a number of bids. I thought about it and decided to give it a try and went ahead and exchanged it for bids this time.
Since then, I've found myself watching small dollar items a bit more just to win them and exchange them for more bids than I used to win the auctions. It's one of the processes I use when bidding and it's gained me a few product exchanges for bids. I think this fits my "conservative" bidding style and would venture to bet that others do this as well. Whenever you do decide to press that exchange for bids button DealDash prompts you to confirm this is something you actually want to do.
What kinds of DealDash strategies do you use? Do you use the exchange to bids option?
A little about myself: I've been bidding on DealDash for about two years and really like it. I like to frequent DealDash because it is fun and entertaining. I've gone to other sites but find myself coming back to DealDash because of it's ability to exchange for bids when you win an auction and the ability to buy it now and get your bids back if you lose an auction.

I was thinking about the ABC's of bidding and the 1,2,3's of what not to do when bidding to see if I could educate the new bidder a little better. For some reason Michael Jackson's song came to mind.
The "A" stands for Auctions, the "B" stands for Bids, and the "C" stands for Cost. DealDash has so many auctions to select from that a new bidder should have no problem deciding which one to get started with. The Bids come in packages from 200 to over 1,000. Buying bids on sale is really the only way to go. With bids being offered for 15 cents from time to time a smart bidder will only buy bids on sale. This way, if you spend 100 bids or $15 to win a $25 item you are really a "winner". And, the Cost of an item is the amount of bids you put on an auction, plus if you win, the final price you will pay for the auction. Remember, there are NO shipping charges on DealDash, unlike other penny auction sites.
# 1: DON'T be in a hurry on DealDash.com!
If you do not have the patience or time to watch an auction and bid, then you are simply throwing your money away.
# 2: You must NOT slap bids at auctions or other Deal Dash bidders.
The timer is there to help all bidders earn free bids. Let the timer work for your benefit as well as other bidders. Free bids are a great reward for bidding on DealDash, let everyone get in on some free bids.
# 3: DON"T spend more than the item is worth to get the "win" on DealDash.
Paying $14 for a $10 gift card is crazy. I actually won a $10 gift card for $14, having put on the bid buddy and leaving the site. After all the slappers and over-bidders got done, I won the card for a few bids! I am grateful that DealDash lets you turn your win in for bids, which is what I chose to do.
I have watched a new bidder this week who has become an incessant slapper. This bidder will eventually think about their penny auction experience on DealDash and blame everyone else for their lack of good and genuine "wins". In reality, if this bidder had done his homework, he would realize jumping on every bidder costs him 5 times what it cost everyone else and even if he did win, he would be losing a lot of money.
I could name other countless tips to use while bidding on auctions, the best advice is use the BidBuddy. You set how many bids you are willing to pay to win the item and watch the auction. The BidBuddy prevents you from over-spending your bidding budget and also keeps you in the game. Watch auctions, learn what techniques others use, and you will be a "winner" on DealDash. Last of all, DealDash offers you the buy-it-now option. You get the item you were trying to win, you get ALL of your bids back and you get to try your skill at another auction. DealDash is a great site to bid on, learn and enjoy the fun of being a competitive bidder! Happy Bidding!

I like to think that I have some common sense when it comes to bidding on a penny auction site and DealDash.
I like to watch an auction before I start bidding. I will actually go through all the pages to see what is coming up and tend to pick the auctions that are going to start in the middle of the night my time because from experience, they tend to have less bidders which gives me a better chance of winning the auction.
I'll start my process by placing one bid and watch the activity to see how many "active" bidders are going to join me. This way, when the bidding activity gets to the point of "No New Bidders", I will have my bid in to continue bidding as the price goes up with everyone else's bids. I like to watch for automatic bids because if there are 3-4 auto bids being made consistently, I will definitely not be using my bids and will wait for the auto bids to die down to 2 people because the others have used up their automatic funds/preset amounts. This allows the price to stay low and me not to use up too many bids needlessly because they are going to use theirs instead.
When I am picking an item, I will use the automatic bids myself sometimes but I do the math first. I will look at the "retail" price on Ebay and factor in how much I paid for my bids and only go as high as the Ebay price because I know I can buy it there for the same price. This is probably stupid but it's won me a few auctions and seems to work for me.
I've been bidding on DealDash for about two years and really like it. I've tried other penny auction sites but find myself coming back to DealDash because of the ability to buy it now if you lose an auction and get your bids back.

Q: ExtJS 6 - Tag field auto width I am dealing with ExtJS 6 Tag field and I would like to set an auto-width in the suggested tags, because if the tag names are too short there will be a huge blank space in the field.

As far as I know it is supossed to work by using this two properties (but it does not work for me):

*

*matchFieldWidth: false

*shrinkWrap: true

The current behaviour is that the width is reduced and it breaks the lines, if the tag name is "This is a tag" it is shown in two different lines "This is" "a tag". Any ideas to achieve this goal?

The beatification of Fr John Sullivan SJ
Fr John Sullivan SJ will be beatified at 11 am on 13 May, 2017 in Gardiner Street Church. The principal celebrant and homilist will be Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and he will be assisted by the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin.
The Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin, Michael Jackson, will also be present on the sanctuary. The ceremony consists of a mass during which a formal request for beatification is publicly made. In an unprecedented ecumenical gesture, this request will be made by the Church of Ireland and the Catholic Archbishops together, reflecting the fact that Fr John was an Anglican for the first half of his life and Roman Catholic for the second. In fact, the entire event is unprecedented, as there has never been a beatification ceremony in Ireland before.
Beatification, which confers the title 'Blessed', means that a man or woman is considered to be truly holy and worthy of veneration at a local level. The next stage after beatification is canonisation, sainthood, which is a recognition of this holiness by the universal Church. For this process a further miracle is required, one which is confirmed to have taken place after the beatification. (In an interview with Pat Coyle from Irish Jesuit Communications, Fr Toni Witwer SJ, General Postulator for the Jesuits speaks about John Sullivan's humility and the need for another miracle if he is to become a saint).
Fr John Sullivan's reputation for holiness stemmed in great part from his untiring attention to the sick and the poor. Most of his priestly life was spent in Clongowes Wood College, Co. Kildare, and it was mainly in the towns and villages around this school that he spent so much time walking and cycling to visit those in need. After his death on 19 February 1933, devotion to him continued to spread. It remains lively in many places around Ireland, so a large crowd is expected to attend the event, including the sick and the elderly.
It should be noted that the capacity of Gardiner St Church is quite limited. Unfortunately, there can be no guarantee that everyone who comes to the church will gain entrance. For this reason, the Jesuits have set up two marquees in the church's back garden, where a live broadcast of the event will be on display. This broadcast will also be viewable in Belvedere College, in nearby Great Denmark Street. Also, people at home and abroad can also watch the entire ceremony on the Irish Jesuit website, at www.jesuit.ie/beatification, where it will be streamed live.
Other dignitaries in attendance will include Archbishop Eamon Martin, Primate of All Ireland, Fr Toni Witwer SJ, General Postulator for Jesuit causes, Fr Leonard Moloney, Irish Jesuit Provincial, Victor Assouad SJ, Regional Assistant for Western Europe and Brendan Carr, Lord Mayor of Dublin. Also expected are members of Fr John's family, most of whom will travel from England. Representatives from Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, which Fr John attended in the 1870s, and Trinity College Dublin, where he studied Classics and Law, will be present as well.
Music during the liturgy will be provided by students from Clongowes Wood College. Also, world-renowned soprano Celine Byrne, a native of Kildare, will sing the Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus. During the Mass, a large portrait of Fr John will be unveiled and a relic of his hair, which was kept by his barber, Charlie Barrett, will be brought to the altar. After the ceremony there will be a time for quiet reflection, during which attendees may receive a blessing from the Fr John Sullivan cross.
A Mass of Thanksgiving for the beatification of Fr John will take place in Clongowes Wood College on Saturday 20 May at 7pm.

NodeJs was released almost 9 years ago. The default debugging process of NodeJs (read Node.js) is quite clumsy. You are already aware of the need to add --inspect to the node script with node inspector. It is also dependent on chrome. Then look at the proper web socket connection which is hard and debug using chrome node debugger. To be honest, it is a pain in the neck.
Finally, Google chrome labs has released ndb, which they say is "An improved debugging experience for Node.js, enabled by Chrome DevTools". It is a boon to debug a nodejs app.
You have general knowledge of running node scripts and working with nodejs apps.
You have prior debugging experience with nodejs or any other language.
For debugging nodejs application in place of just another script I will use a full nodejs express application. It is an open source application I used for a demo on testing nodejs application.
I am using my opensource currency API for this step-by-step getting started of debugging a nodejs application. It is built using express js framework. You can also check the running app hosted on Zeit Now to see the USD to AUD rate of 2019-01-10 as an example.
The idea of the application is simple. If the conversion rate is available in the database it will fetch it from the database. If not it will fetch it from another API and send it back to the user also saving the rate in the database at the same time (async) for later use.
You can clone the application from github and run npm install to get it ready for debugging. This is a very simple application with most of the logic in exchangeRates.js file. It has mocha tests too as it was a demo for testing nodejs application.
You can also install and use it locally per app if you want. One thing I had to fix was to get the latest version of chrome as I saw some permission issues.
Notice that you don't need to put any -- inspect so the experience is a lot smoother.
You don't need to remember a different port or go to chrome devtools and open up a different inspector window to debug. Such a relief!
ndb allows you to run any script for debugging. For example, I can run ndb npm start and it will use the nodemon run. This means I can debug the application while changing the code which is great.
As an example it can be run with ndb npm start to debug this nodejs express application.
You can also debug your test with a command like ndb npm test.
As the debugger is working I can place more break points or run through the code at my speed and convenience.
The essential shortcuts are F10 to step over function call and F11 to step into a function.
The console tab is also helpful if you want to some quick nodejs code in the context.
Now as the app should pause at the breakpoint, Enjoy! and continue debugging.
If it works for this app, you can debug any of your nodejs application with this approach.
Welcome to the new way of debugging nodejs application that is browser independent and a lot more smoother than the default experience. Step up your debugging nodejs application game.
I hope this post has helped you debug your nodejs application better. If you have any other things to share about debugging nodejs apps or better usage of ndb please comment below!

Franklin Amudo's D'Luxe Management Repositions For A Global Target
Frontline talent manager, Franklin Amudo, has taken a new initiative in positioning his D'Luxe management for a global market.
With a career spanning three decades in varied sectors of the Nigerian entertainment industry, Amudo has unveiled his partnership with top agencies across the world.
Amudo's talent management outfit – with the sole vision of plugging the gap in talent curation, mentorship, promotion, and management – has worked in various capacities with several Nigerian and international entertainers that include 2face, Tony Tetuila, Femi Kuti, Tamara Dey, Cassper Nyovest Nas, Jay Z & Beyonce, Global Citizen with D'banj and recently with Yemi Alade.
Amudo had worked in various capacities as a brand person for the better part of a decade with National Sports Lottery, MTN, FinBank, Ondo State Government, David Mark Electoral Campaign, Storm Records, and 001 EVENTS. The talent manager, who goes about his job with brazen assurance, has D'Luxe management as the official talent booking and management agency with Pernod Ricard home to Martel, Jameson, Absolut Vodka, and a wide variety of liquor brands having been actively involved with Hennessy Artistry and Absolut Road to MAMAS.
He became popular for representing D'banj as Personal and Business Manager as well as General Manager of The CREAM Platform before his resignation in January 2019 to start up a Talent Management Agency that birthed D'luxe Management Ltd in conjunction with Jason Amusa and Ibrahim Qudus.
"It's been a long time coming and we have been working towards achieving this for some time now. The bigger picture is to build a platform that is bigger than an artist. It's like the gateway to Talent Management on this side of the globe," Amudo stated on his mission in a brief chat.
Expatiating more on his partnerships, Amudo said, "The vision is to nurture talent for global exposure and with global partners that include Starz Records in the UK, 1865blackflag Atlants, DDE Rwanda, and Escobar Entertainment in South Africa, we have positioned D'Luxe Management as the toast and gateway to talent management in Nigeria. And to this end, we recently signed Holmes as our first talent project."
The new talent on Amudo's D'Luxe management, Holmes, is a homegrown Nigerian artiste who hails from Warri in Delta State. The 28-year-old artist born Umughare Prosper Aghogho, is currently signed to the indie label, Addictive Sound Records. His released songs include 'Magician', 'Love' ft. Davido and his current wave-making track, 'Sade'.

After a 2-month break on this painting for a soul-inspiring trip to New Orleans, this painting is now underway. Again.
Part of my process is that just when I think I'm finished, I go back in to fix something or make it better. Just a quick little change, I tell myself. Shouldn't take more than a few flicks of the brush. Ten minutes, tops.
Inevitably, this causes other adjustments to be made in order to fit better with the new part. And since everything in the image is interdependent, when the balance changes even slightly the whole damn thing needs a readjustment. What was once an almost finished painting now becomes the underpainting to a new one. So when you look at one of my finished pieces, you may be looking many paintings — one on top of the other. It's exasperating sometimes, but that's the way it works around here.
