Anto Magzan is a photojournalist and storyteller with a strong background in documentary and street photography. His street photography is about being open to the endless possibilities of different European cities and cultures, from Barcelona and Zagreb to Istanbul. The last big earthquake in Zagreb was in 1880. In his Zagreb Earthquake Series, the spontaneity of street photography comes out. It was an impulsive and emotional response. He was a photojournalist on assignment. His state of mind and emotions set his street photography apart from the documentary with a strong affection for humanity and heritage. A narrative and documentary of the earthquake photograph held together been surreal moments that come once in a lifetime.
During the pandemic and almost 300 earthquakes in the first week of January 2021, I've been suffering from fears. Some of them were senseless, and most of them are not. I keep writing this article on the Anto Magzan Zagreb Earthquake series with anxiety, and Lastquake Apps switch on, just in case. We live the same nightmare all over again. I am looking at his aftermath's earthquake images and found the human side of his documentary. The core of street photography is his emotional response and personal states of shock and fear.
While looking at his work, I think that the New Year should be setting new goals and resolutions. Unfortunately, not this time. I find that many of us have to quit our goals and dreams after the quakes. The future used to be simple, but now everything is up in the air. It has impacted our life significantly. Our world has changed, and in his black and white images, I see the call for a positive impact on people's life.
Anto Magzan (born 1979) is a Croatian and Bosnian photographer living in Zagreb. He is a lens-based artist with a strong background and experience in documentary and photojournalism. He is known for his black and white photography, both staged or studio portraits and street art photography. He is a freelance photographer with work experience in Croatian daily news (Večernji list, 24sata) and Photo agencies Pixsell and Zuma Press. Besides documentary and narrative, he is interested in street and fine art photography. She attended several masterclasses (Monika Villi, Vittorio Storaro) and workshops (Ron Haviv, Christopher Morris) within the documenting conflict and post-conflict subjects. He has photographed different cities throughout his career, including Sidney, Barcelona, Istanbul, Sarajevo, and Zagreb.
Born in Zenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and based in Zagreb (Croatia), he started professional photography very late. Magzan began working in photography at 27, exploring his interest in human portrait and behavior, gatherings, cultural heritage, and rituals. His early photographic influences include the interwar Zagreb school of photography and famous 20th-century black and white Magnum photos, Andre Kertesz, Henry Cartier Bresson, and Eliot Erwitt. He left Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1998 and since then lives and works in Zagreb. He has worked as a photojournalist in Večernji list (Evening Post) since 2006, take pictures covering visual stories on locations, recording-breaking news, investigative features, shows, fashion, and portraits of people. From 2009 to 2017, he works as a member of Pixel, a Croatian Photo Agency.
As a freelance photographer focused on culture, heritage, and fine art photography, he started in 2018. His work was awarded, exhibited, and published, both printed and online. He had seven solo exhibitions and featured in over fifty group exhibitions. Since 2006 he is a member of the Croatian Journalist's Association HND. He is an active member of the Croatian Association of Artists of Applied Arts ULUPUH. Since 2017 he is president of the Supervisory board of the Photography department. Since 2015 he joined the Croatian Freelance Artists' Association HZSU. His most recognized images are from portfolios Sydney Light & Shade, Disappearing Architecture, the Golden Years (Athletes Then and Now), Through the Eye of a Needle, Barcelona Light and Shade, and Dervishes. Important national recognition is on his strong portfolio of post-earthquake Zagreb, 2020. IG @antomagzanphotography/
Zagreb Earthquake on March 22, 2020
I started the Zagreb Earthquake series in the early Sunday morning, March 22nd. It all began at 6:23 am with an earthquake. The European seismological agency declared an earthquake measured 5.3 on the Richter scale. It was the strongest earthquake in 140 years at the first peek of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the middle of the spring lockdown in Croatia, we met fear, panic, confusion, and contradiction all over the place. – Stay-at-home; – Leave-your-home!; – Run out of the building!; – Keep social distancing!; – Help each other! (…) People of Zagreb were on the streets, squares, and parks in pajamas, blankets, and face masks.
Authorities called for extra caution in public gatherings because of the prevention of the spreading Covid-19 virus. People were confused, directed to stay at home as a restrictive measure of pandemic prevention, and on the other side, they had to leave their homes. The fear of more trembling was reality. A young girl lost her life downtown. For a moment, we all forgot about social distancing, gathering in the streets in fear, scared to be inside the buildings because of the new earthquakes. It was cold and snowing surreal Sunday at the end of March. I have to save the moments of the worst nightmare.
Zagreb hits 70 smaller earthquakes next week and 300 in the next month. I was in the middle of a disaster movie placed in Zagreb. Over 7000 buildings all over the town were seriously damaged. Cars parked in the middle of the streets were in danger of collapsing buildings and new earthquakes. When I was outside on assignment, I didn't have time to think about lighting and composition, shapes, and textures. It was in me, just an act, a black and white movie in slow motion, an impulse of the moment. Zagreb was in ruins. Day after and the next few days was disturbing and painful.
The next few days, I was on the streets of Zagreb, deeply involved in documentary and photojournalism. Police, firefighters, Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, contractor workers, and ordinary people were the endless sources of emotions and metaphors of existence and humanity. Removing old chimneys, dangerous remains of buildings were intense and painful. Both towers of the Zagreb cathedral was damaged. One tower collapsed, and the other had to be demolished by a controlled dynamite explosion at 108 meters in height.
A red heart made of wool appears on a cracked wall. This up-to-date installation made by Croatian artist Voona becomes a symbol of healing and hope. It was the message that the city will be rebuilt and healed. Artist sent a message of love we all need all over the world, global, as always. My intention was the same, and Earthquake images extended beyond my initial narrative and documentary. I found strength and ability to defy my purpose as a street photographer.

Draženka Jalšić Ernečić: Why Photography?
Anto Magzan: What attracted me most to photography was the idea that I could send a message to others. With a motive or frame, my photography can give the world something they have not seen or experienced themselves. It may be a common thing from everyday life or the glorious view of a city they haven't been to, but the result is the same: people see something the way I saw it. It is a privilege that rarely has any interest. The most significant compliment I can get is while people tell me that an image I have photographed has unique.
Draženka Jalšić Ernečić: When did you discover the path of being a photographer/artist?
Anto Magzan: When I moved to Zagreb from Zenica after the war, I work several jobs, but I always felt I needed a creative space to express myself. I've always loved art, and I've had the luck to spend time with photographers. I recognized that images bring together what pleases me most in my life. It is art and communication with the people and word. Photography always has something new and different and demands mental commitment, dares me to enter into a personal connection with the essence of what I am looking for. Photography keeps me awake.
DJ: What are your challenges as an artist?
Anto Magzan: I am not struggling with inspiration because I always have ideas and motives. I am the lucky one. The highest challenges in photography are logical to me. I was pleased that most of my work, for instance, the series of black and white images of cities Light & Shade, was recognized and successful. Most ideas and projects need some institutional and financial support. Photographers have to be social media and marketing experts at the same time and invest too much time in getting supporters.
Draženka Jalšić Ernečić: Is there anything you would like to tell us that nobody has ever asked you about photography?
Anto Magzan: As I started taking photography late, at the age of 27, sometimes it seems that I was driving behind. I felt I missed important things, but I quickly realized that everything I did and experienced in my life helped me create my photos. I began to analyze the world with photography and to watch it with all differences. Everything I have learned and experienced so far has turned into images, and it seems that this is the case with every other art, and art pushes the boundaries of our freedom.
Draženka Jalšić Ernečić: What's next?
Anto Magzan: Despite the circumstances, 2020 was successful for me. I participated in twelve big projects. Unfortunately, my creativity this year was marked by the Zagreb earthquake and pandemic. I got recognition for those photos. At this point, I am attending a three-month workshop by Christopher Morris of the VII Agency. Last year, I captured two series from the Light & Shade cycle, Istanbul and Sarajevo. They were supposed to be in a solo show in 2020. As life is on hold because of the global pandemic, I will try to organize those two exhibitions this year.

Whether we like it or not, Google, Apple, and Facebook have dictated the way we market our businesses online. Personally, I think that most of the changes are for the best. Their updates are based on real time data that they receive from how you and I use their products everyday.
It should be pretty obvious to all of us what makes a good website, but we occasionally get lost in our own forrest and focus on the wrong things. If you want to step out and see what truly matters, try keeping a closer eye on updates made by these companies.
If you're writing blogs just to improve your Google ranking, you're missing the point.
Make sure your website is easy to use. Navigation should be clean, simple, and consolidated to only the most important topics. Don't overwhelm your customers with 10 different labels on your main menu.
Your site should be usable on all devices. Your customers are on the go, so your website needs to be mobile friendly and accessible on a smartphone, tablet, and a laptop.
Be mindful of where you want your customers to look or act. Sites with too much going on are distracting, so you end up with customers going to your site but they quickly end up lost because there's too much going on to make a firm decision. Be intentional about how you want your users to act.
Create original content that clearly articulates what you do, who you are, where you are located, and why you are different. If you're a family entertainment center, make sure that your site's content illustrates why you create a unique experience that will make families choose you over your competition.
Add value to the Internet through fresh content creation. Through all of Google's algorithm updates, it has become very clear that they love fresh, original, and relevant content. Blogs are some of the easiest ways to quickly and effectively share fresh content with your customers. If you're going to create content, be sure that it creates value for your customers. If you're writing blogs just to improve your Google ranking, you're missing the point.
Take care of the small things will help you succeed with Google. The visual aspects of your site are incredibly important, but don't overlook the small things like how your content is structured, how fast it loads, or whether each pages is uniquely optimized for your customers to find what they're looking for in Google search.
When your site automatically makes noises, you're turning users away. Please stop doing this.
When your site automatically makes noises, you're turning users away. Facebook was often compared to MySpace in its first few years, and some stubborn users tried to carry over their bad habits to the new ultra clean and simple social network. The last thing Facebook wanted was to be like MySpace, so auto play noises were not going to fly. Your website should operate the exact same way. Don't turn users away because you have your favorite soundtrack or theme song blasting when people visit your website.
Remember to be human. The rise of mobile and social media have made consumers, especially Millennials and Generation Z, hyper aware that they prefer authentic human experiences when interacting with businesses. Your website might not directly translate into traditional sales and that's okay. When examining the ROI of your web presence, consider that business is now human to human. The days of B2B and B2C are done. Make it easy for your customers to connect with you via social media, your monitored review sites like Google+ and Yelp, or a customer service (experience) email address. Try integrating your Instagram feed into a section of your site like TopGolf.com (see their #ILoveTopGolf section) and encourage users to share their experiences!
Look for new ways to engage your customers. When people really like your business, they're happy to connect even further. Encourage users to sign up for your newsletter or birthday club with nonintrusive website popups. Stay fresh in their minds by running ads using Facebook's custom audiences. This will allow you to promote content to website visitors or customers in your email and phone database. Using these tools will help you connect with your customers even when they're not on your website.
Consider that business is now human to human. The days of B2B and B2C are done.

Q: Add hours to workday in python I need the following script to compute the working hours from 9 am to 6 pm, so that if I add 5 hours it will be added from 9 am the next day.
Example: if it is now 5 pm and I add 5 hours and the working day ends at 6 pm, the output would be: 13 hours.
17 + 1 = 18 and
9 + 4 = 13 hs
So far the script computes hours regardless of the labor restriction.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

updated = ( datetime.now() +
           timedelta( hours = 5 )).strftime('%H:%M:%S')

print( updated )

--22:12:00

A: Here you are:
workday_begin = time(9)
workday_end = time(18)

# compute workday length
workday_hours = datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_end) - datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_begin)

# this is timedelta from your example
duration_hours = timedelta(hours=17)

# ignore times longer than a workday
day_cnt = 0  # this could be used to know how many day we've skipped, not part of question tho
while duration_hours > workday_hours:
    day_cnt += 1
    duration_hours -= workday_hours

now = datetime.now()
# now = datetime(2021,12,10,11,25,16)
if workday_begin < now.time() < workday_end:
    # now is in work-hours
    if datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_end) - now < duration_hours:
        # duration would exceed work-hours, jumping to next day
        day_cnt += 1
        duration_hours -= (datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_end) - now)
        updated = datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_begin) + duration_hours
    else:
        # everything is fine, just add hours
        updated = now + duration_hours
else:
    # now is not in work-hours. Add remaining duration to workday begin
    updated = datetime.combine(date.today(), workday_begin) + duration_hours

# keep just a time part
updated = updated.time().strftime('%H:%M:%S')

print( updated )

I hope I understood your question.

This article features Virginia Maritime Association member, InterChange Group Inc.
PORTSMOUTH | InterChange Group Inc, a third-party logistics provider, hosted a tilt up ceremony on July 19, 2017, for their new warehouse on Elmhurst Lane in Portsmouth. This is their second facility in Hampton Roads, adding to their 17 other food grade facilities operated on the East Coast. The new 200,000 square foot warehouse will allow them to handle a higher capacity of imports and exports moving through the port.
Keith VanBenschoten, COO of InterChange, said the company picked the Portsmouth location because of its access to rail, interstate and Virginia's Ports.
"Our intentions right now are to operate a 3PL operation out of about 54,000 square feet... We unload the goods, sort it, palletize it, do whatever we need to do, store it, track it and then ship it back out to our customers or their customers." said VanBenschoten.
InterChange's significant investment in a speculative warehouse demonstrates the business community's confidence in the direction and future of our port.
The new warehouse's opening date is currently set for November.

Hearing Loss News
Austine Closing Reveals Debate Over 'Mainstreaming' Deaf Students
By Susan Keese, Vermont Public Radio
summarized by Hailey Scragg, staff writer
A group of Alumni from the Austine School for the Deaf want to reopen its doors as a state school and re-examine programs for deaf and hard of hearing children who have been 'mainstreamed' into public schools. James Tucker who experienced both, is one of these alumni who is currently superintendent of the Maryland School for the Deaf, and an influential advocate for the reopening of Austine. One of the biggest obstacles facing the reopening of Austine is the IDEA, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which jumpstarted the 'mainstreaming' of special needs students in public schools. While this law has been helpful to many, it has not necessarily benefited deaf children. Tucker states that "Deaf children need a community of learners where deaf children can communicate with other people who use sign language. That's how learning happens." Another problem they're facing is the difference in enrollment at Austine between when it closed with 20 students, and in the 1970's when there were 100. With new technology, including cochlear implants, being an option for public schooling, parents have more options when it comes to the education of their children. Nevertheless Tucker and his group of alumni believe that this new idea for a state run school will an asset for some deaf and hard of hearing students.

Die Reste der Burg Marching befinden sich in Marching, heute ein Ortsteil der niederbayerischen Stadt Neustadt an der Donau im Landkreis Kelheim. Die Anlage der ehemaligen Niederungsburg liegt unmittelbar neben der Ortskirche Unserer Lieben Frau von Marching. Sie wird als "Burgstall des Mittelalters" unter der Aktennummer D-2-7136-0260 als Bodendenkmal im Bayernatlas aufgeführt. Ebenso ist sie unter der Aktennummer D-2-73-152-48 als denkmalgeschütztes Baudenkmal von Marching verzeichnet.

Beschreibung
Am Ortsrand von Marching befindet sich die Kirche Unserer Lieben Frau (früher Mariae Himmelfahrt) des 1128 erstmals genannten Ortes "Magirchingen". Der dazugehörige Friedhof wird von einer etwa 2,5 m hohen Bruchsteinmauer umgeben. An der Ost- und Westseite besteht das Mauerwerk im unteren Teil aus Quadersteinen, zudem sind einzelne Buckelquader eingemauert. Die Südseite besitzt in 1 m Höhe einen Absatz (als Auflage für einen nicht mehr vorhandenen Wehrgang) und im Abstand von 2,5 m Schießscharten mit einer Breite von 0,3 m. Dieser Mauerteil dürfte zu den ältesten der Anlage gehören. Etwa 33 m westlich der Friedhofsmauer befindet sich ein 4 m hoher runder Turmstumpf aus Bruchsteinen, dem die östliche Hälfte fehlt. Sein Innendurchmesser beträgt 3 m, seine Mauerstärke bis zu 1,30 m. Zwischen dem Turmrest und der Friedhofsmauer sieht man eine höckerartige Erhebung, unter der ein Mauerkern vermutet wird (vermutlich ein früheres Wohngebäude). Das Plateau, auf dem die Anlage liegt, besitzt eine Ost-West-Ausdehnung von 60 m und eine Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung von 40 m. Im Süden und Westen bietet ein tiefer Steilabfall Schutz, im Osten war ein bis zu 2,5 m tiefer und 6 m breiter Graben mit einem 0,5 m hohen Außenwall. An der Nordseite befand sich ein sehr breiter Graben. Bei der Auffahrt an der Westseite wurde der Bergfried errichtet, der westlich vorgelagerte Bauernhof könnte früher als Vorwerk gedient haben. Insgesamt ist von einer kompakten und mauerumwehrten Feste mit Bergfried, Wohnbau, Nebengebäuden und einer Burgkapelle auszugehen

Geschichte
Der Burgenbau wird den Grillen von Marching zugeschrieben. Urkundlich sind die Brüder Ulrich und Ott die Grillen von Manching zusammen mit ihrer Schwester Anna und Ulrichs Frau Dietmund beim Verkauf eines Gutes erstmals 1313 belegt. Ulrich der Grill war der Kämmerer Herzog Ludwigs und bezeugte in München 1294 dessen letzten Willen. Otto der Grill ist 1330 "am Rechten zu Neustadt" gesessen. Nach dem Tod von Otto dem Grill († 1339) fiel die Festung auf dem Erbweg an Rüger den älteren Wimmer. Dessen Sohn Rüder der Wimmer wird häufig in Urkunden als Verkäufer, Bürge oder Siegler erwähnt, die zwischen 1352 und 1364 ausgestellt wurden. Die Wimmer werden 1364 als Stifter einer Frühmesse genannt. 1364 verstirbt die Katherina Smicherin, die Frau des Ruderus Wimmeradis. Am 10. August 1364 verkaufen die Brüder Rüthirt und Peter die Wimmer ihr Haus und ihre Feste zu Marching mit allen Pertinenzen an Ulrich III. den Alten von Abensberg um 450 Regensburger Pfennig.

Die Burg erscheint nochmals 1394 bei einem Streit zwischen Herzog Stefan III. von Ingolstadt und Johann von Abensberg. Darin heißt es, dass Jobst von Abensberg, der Sohn des Johann, dem Herzog mit den Festen Randeck, Altmannstein und Marching zwei Jahre "allmänniglich gewärtig" sein solle, außer Herzog Stefan führe Krieg gegen seinen Bruder Johann II. oder dessen Brüder bzw. seinem Vetter Heinrich dem Jungen. In letzterem Fall sollte der Jobst mit seinen Vesten Randeck und Marching "stillsitzen". Von daher kann die Behauptung, die Burg sei im Krieg von Herzog Friedrich gegen den Städtebund zerstört worden, nicht richtig sein. Möglich wäre aber eine Zerstörung bei dem Bayerischen Hauskrieg 1394/95 zwischen dem Herzog Stephan III. von Bayern-Ingolstadt und seinem Bruder Johann II. von Bayern-München um die Vormundschaft um Heinrich der Reiche. Es könnte aber auch sein, dass die Burg nach dem Übergang an die Abensberger bzw. dem gewaltsamen Tod des Niclas von Abensberg († 1485) überflüssig geworden war und aufgegeben wurde.

When choosing an online casino to play with, deposit and cashout methods are an important thing to consider. After all, we all want to play on a casino where we will have plenty of depositing options and where our withdrawals will be safe and quick.
For Singaporean players, online casino banking is not a big problem, as there are plenty of payment methods that allow the citizens of Singapore to use them to process their payments. Let us consider some of the most common payment methods in Singapore and their pros and cons.
One of the most popular providers of credit and debit cards in the world is Visa. The internationally accepted credit cards make for an easy and fast way of making payments, and nearly any bank in Singapore and worldwide can provide them.
Visa deposits are usually processed instantly at online casinos. The slight disadvantage of using Visa in online casinos is that users have to type out their credit card number and CCV when making deposits, which can make the information vulnerable to external attacks. Nevertheless, while playing on a safe online casino, your info will be protected on their end and all you need to do is make sure your computer is not under direct attack, which rarely happens.
Visa cashouts can take up to a week at times, which is another slight con of using a Visa for online gambling. Yet, the convenience of this payment method and the sheer popularity of the cards make Visa one of the most common payment methods for online casino players in Singapore.
eNETS is a company that operates exclusively in Asia, making Singapore one of its main target markets. The company provides fast and reliable payments for account holders of various Asian banks, with all the major banks supported. This service allows users to make online payments using their credit and debit cards issued by these banks, without having to provide their banking details to any casino providers directly, making it a convenient way to bank online.
The service features extremely easy use, multilingual customer support for Asian customers and can be used from a variety of devices including mobile phones. If you are a holder of a bank account with a bank in Singapore, eNETS will be one of the more convenient ways to make your deposits.
One of the world's most popular e-wallets, Skrill is a service that allows users to make deposits and cashouts from online gambling sites with few questions asked. The Skrill wallet can be loaded using cards or bank accounts from many countries of the world including Singapore.
Skrill deposits are instant with most online casinos, while the cashouts are usually also extremely fast. The main flaw of Skrill is the fact that withdrawals from the wallet to the bank account or credit card can be costly, with players losing up to 10% of their money in the process. Nevertheless, the speed and convenience that Skrill provide make it one of the most popular payment methods for players from Singapore.
Skrill serves as an intermediary between the bank and the online casino, making player's banking details 100% safe. If you are unsure about how safe an online casino is, using Skrill will greatly diminish all your fears as you will never have to share a single piece of banking information with the casino itself.
Another world renowned e-wallet, PayPal was first invented for eCommerce use and later became an important player in online banking in general. Players can use PayPal to make deposits from their credit cards or debit cards directly, without even having to load up their accounts. In turn, PayPal protects player's banking info, making him feel safer.
PayPal is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to make online casino deposits in Singapore and players can also use it to make speedy and cheap cashouts. Those players aiming to avoid paying the large Skrill fees can use PayPal instead and only pay a minor fee for withdrawals.
Last on our list of the most popular payment methods is Paysafecard, a pre-paid payment method that provides complete safety and anonymity. Paysafecards are bought in local stores for cash money and a code from the card is then inserted in the online casino deposit box, which makes the cash available in the player's balance.
Paysafecard is the ultimate safety tool for online casino players, who get to keep all their banking info 100% secure and not share it with anyone. That way there is no risk of any intrusions or hacking. The one con of Paysafecard is that players cannot use it to make cashouts, which means Singaporean customers will still have to use another payment method to cash out any potential winnings.
Italians love to gamble, so much so that the Italian government decided to pass legislation which regulates the activity online and only allows a handful of online gambling operators to work in the country. Nevertheless, many online casinos continue to provide their services to Italian players while operating under international licenses, while others are regulated within the country.
With Billions of Euros being deposited by Italian players to online casinos, the question becomes, what are the best payment options for Italian players looking to gamble online. If you are curious, keep reading and find out more about the best payment methods for Italian players.
Majority of all online casinos that accept Italian players, whether licensed locally or not, accept deposits via the two popular e-wallets who recently joined forces to become a single industry giant. The processors provide quick and easy deposits that are free of any charge and make online banking more safe and more anonymous.
Players using Skrill and NETELLER are not forced to share their banking details with online casinos directly, which means that even when playing with unregulated online casinos, players will not get into any trouble.
The downside of using Skrill and NETELLER are the somewhat steep cashout fees, which climb up to 10% when cashing money back into player's banking account. The good news, however, is that players get to receive extremely fast withdrawals from online casinos, as they are often processed within hours.
And extremely popular payment method for online casino players worldwide and especially in the highly regulated markets is the Bitcoin. The popular cryptocurrency has been rising in value exponentially through the last several years, reaching new highs on a monthly basis. Bitcoin provides the kind of anonymity that no other payment method can come close to, leaving no real trace of who was using it or what they used it for.
Bitcoin is becoming so popular that many of the world's government are starting to regulate or ban it, but Italian players can use it to make easy and anonymous online casino deposits and cashouts. The flaw of the Bitcoin is that its value changes so often but given the trend, players seem to be making money a lot more often than losing it by using Bitcoin for online transactions.
A payment method invented specifically for Italians to make online payments and run by the Italian postal office, PostePay is a somewhat unpopular but convenient payment method in Italy. The payment processor allows users to receive prepaid Visa cards which can be used to make online payments of all sorts, including online casino deposits.
PostePay cards can be used to make quick and safe deposits as well as cashouts from a variety of online casino sites. The players using PostePay also get to benefit from various promotions that the company often throws or use the cards to make other types of online payments that april not be related to online gambling at all.
CartaSi is another payment method exclusive to the Italian market. The company issues players with pre-paid Visa cards which are linked to their Skrill account and can be used to make online casino payments fast and safe. Furthermore, players can actually get some playing credit using CartaSi as the payment are only settled up to 45 days after the initial deposit is made.
CartaSi works great in protecting players against any type of fraud as they never have to share any information with the online casinos or anyone else in the middle. Players who run into any kind of issues with CartaSi can use the local Italian customer support to get instant help in their native language.
Credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard can only be used to make deposits in Italy to those online casinos that have a proper license issued by the Italian government. This reduces the number of online casino venues that users can play with using their credit cards, making the payment method less popular for Italian players.
Nevertheless, credit cards remain the most popular payment method in the world and despite relatively slow cashout times and the risks involved with using credit cards online, most people still seem to believe they are safe enough to make online casino payments on a regular basis.
Another popular e-wallet, EcoPayz is available around the world and provides another way of making online payments without sharing the banking info with the online casino. The processor also issues its own MasterCard known as EcoCard which can be used to make instant cashouts at ATMs around the world, making EcoPayz one of the easiest and fastest ways of getting your winnings out of your online casino account and into your pocket.


The IT world is great at delivering technically elegant solutions that intrigue and pique my (and others) interest. In recent years the entire virtualisation and containers movements have been good examples of this. Producing something technically interesting doesn't always lead to a solution that benefits the business. However, in the case of Droplet Computing, the company is proposing an application virtualisation technology that could have significant benefits in an ecosystem of new and legacy applications.
The world of application development isn't black or white, but a continuous spectrum of applications that range from 1960's mainframe (COBOL, FORTRAN etc) through C++, Java and a host of other languages that even today continue to evolve. Businesses invest significant time, effort and money into building applications. Refactoring apps to new technology is rarely done without some incentive. Businesses need to see value in moving to a new platform, or a move can be forced for support or security reasons. However, even when support doesn't exist, the inertia to move or upgrade to another platform still means that many enterprises are running legacy applications in the data centre.
There's another problem to throw into the mix – for many applications, there may not even be an upgrade path. Critical software products go out of active development yet may still be required for production use. I'm reminded of an application that was used by a UK energy supplier in the mid-1990s to estimate bills. The software was originally written on IBM VM/ESA and the source code lost. While the algorithms were redeveloped and rewritten, an entire VM system had to be maintained, with considerable dedicated hardware. There was no way to move this application off VM/ESA.
Droplet Computing came out of stealth at Cloud Field Day 3. The company demonstrated a technology called the Universal Container, which implements a form of application virtualisation. Imagine, for example, being able to take a version of Microsoft Word 2003 and run it in a browser on macOS. This is the level of virtualisation Droplet Computing is offering. Legacy desktop applications can be run within a standard browser (such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge) without any modification and on a range of devices, including mobile. There are also plans to run across multiple processor architectures, for example running x86 applications on ARM and vice versa.
How does this work? The Droplet solution takes an existing application and uses two main technologies. WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) provides the ability to run Windows applications on Linux. This technology has been around a long time and I'm assured that the latest releases overcome a lot of the issues with emulating Windows, namely DirectX and back-door API calls. The second technology is WebAssembly. This is a project to produce a low-level binary instruction format that can be run sandboxed inside common browsers. Effectively each application running would be isolated within its own set of processes.
Droplet Computing's IP is based around taking existing x86 application binaries and translating them to run just-in-time as WebAssembly code. In order to achieve that there are some translations which go on behind the scenes, such as handling memory access and registers. Emulation layers are also needed to handle persistent storage, such as file systems, and graphics. In my experience, getting programs to run with emulation software like WINE and Linspire (formerly Lindows) usually had major issues with graphics because the original developers coded in direct hardware access to get best performance. Theoretically, that should be less of an issue here because x86 instructions themselves are being emulated.
The first application of Droplet's technology is focused on the desktop. There are plenty of legacy applications in use today that depend on older versions of operating systems. The kinds of examples quoted include MRI or other medical equipment still running Windows XP, or ATMs that run on OS/2. The ability to encapsulate these applications and run them on a supported operating system has real benefits. Older Windows versions have been subject to hacking exploits like WannaCry. Businesses want to get off unsafe (and unsupported/un-patched) operating systems but have the inertia of legacy apps to deal with.
Droplet Computing separates the app from the operating system, which means un-patchable Windows can be decommissioned. In its place, the business can run Linux, a browser and then the application, with a much secure footprint. Obviously, the application itself may have exposures and some O/S components are still required, but that's unavoidable.
Some of the use cases suggested by CEO Steve Horne seemed a little tenuous. I think it's unlikely that any business will want to run old versions of Office 2003, even if they do have the licenses. More likely is the scenario that Droplet's Universal Container could be used to abstract the O/S and application, allowing organisations to dump Windows in favour of free Linux. Alternatively, where older Office products (or other software) are not supported on the latest Windows releases, then these could be supported in-browser as part of a long-term migration strategy.
Whilst the ability to virtualise desktop applications is attractive and definitely has some use cases, I think the enterprise data centre is where the technology is headed. The most obvious use is to let IT organisations abstract applications away from unsupported operating systems that otherwise might have previously been virtualised. The attack surface for those apps becomes vastly reduced. One solution could be to run Droplet Containers on-premises, to remove legacy or ageing hardware.
However, a better candidate would be to push legacy applications into the public cloud. As we said at the start, IT is a continuum. It's expensive to re-write legacy applications and there's usually a business driver to do so. Imagine being able to lift and shift an entire on-premises workload into public cloud, then rewrite code over time as business drivers dictate a need. The "last mile" is always the problem in any migration; 90% of apps get moved, 10% remain and consume a disproportionate amount of costs. Being able to move them unaltered into public cloud could prove very attractive indeed.
Oracle acquired Ravello for a shed-load of money, more than seemed credible. However, the Ravello technology allowed Oracle to onboard applications that were hypervisor dependent, with little or no changes. Now the same scenario can happen with Droplet Computing, where the only the application need move. The legacy of the operating system is gone. Surely this makes Droplet Computing (or at least the parent company App-UX Ltd) an acquisition target?
One last thing – Docker Inc has spent a lot of time talking about 'transforming" applications into a more efficient deployment model (e.g. containers, not VMs). With this technology, why bother? Just spin up the application in a WebAssembly container and run it unmodified. If this truly can be made seamless, then Droplet Computing could have a very bright future ahead indeed.

Cultural convergence examples Rating: 9,2/10 1946 reviews
Convergence Theory
The role of national culture in international marketingresearch. However, the real divergence in Judaism is between Ethiopian Jews and the larger community. Nations with no history of Western-style constitutional politics established Western-style nation-states. Companies lying their trade abroad is faced with the challenge of integrating culture their branches are located in, culture of their country and culture of parent company. For example, the Soviet Union, once a communist-ruled country, fell apart in 1991.
Cultural convergence can be described as the intermixing of cultures. Which two of the following are
And of course, we hope to further power our philosophy of cultural movements as we move forward. They noted that industrialized nations develop similarities in some aspects, but not in all areas, such as the use of similar technologies and the daily lives of individuals. Overall, cultural convergence may not be a uniquely modern phenomenon, but it is uniquely significant in the age of globalization. When words, images and sounds are transformed into digital information, we expand the potential relationships between them and enable them to flow across platforms. How many international students, studying in Monash University in Australia, will be willing to give up their cultural roots for a unified culture? How many international students feel less Bangladeshi, German or Malaysian for being part of a global workforce? International events such as the Olympics, World Cup soccer and other global competitions allow international interaction and celebration.
High culture is typically linked to the aristocracy orIntelligentsia. Lumia has received great reviews, and I love the interface. In many countries, English is taught to all school-age children as part of the regular curriculum. Convergence theorists believe that we're entering an era in which most nations will be industrialized, interdependent, and have similar cultures. Fragmentation is the new norm. The country is then said to have diverged rather than converged.
The Smartphone as an Example of Convergence of Culture
You only have to look at the technology we use today to see why it makes complete sense to converge. Often, cultural convergence can seem to favor one party, generally that which holds more power in the relationship. Worlds: The Surprising Similarities and Differences of Country-and-Western and Rap In this article it basically talks about the similar and differences between Country. Since I came to live in. There are a lot of examples.
What Is Convergence culture?
Using Technology Technology enables people from different countries to have immediate access to new ideas and cultural identities. Cultural Resource Management is, essentially, a process by which the protection and management of the multitudinous but scarce elements of cultural heritage are given some consideration in a modern world with an expanding population and changing needs. Which is also referred to as field work, participant- observation is necessary. In addition, they also mention that about one third well known international corporations are facing the challenge of tensions internally as a result of poor management in a diverse culture. When words, images and sounds are transformed into digital information, we expand the potential relationships between them and enable them to flow across platforms. Russia and Vietnam have both experienced economic growth as their socialistic rules and politics have changed and relaxed to some degree.
Hofstede 1980 , stated with the use of an analogy that the values instilled in people will continue to diverge as local cultures are likely to be extremely stable over time despite globalization. . To counter such pressure, those economies take stern actions solidify its position in the global economy and as a result they incorporate a lot of their institutions. MarketShare is a group blog dedicated to covering all things media, marketing and advertising-related. As stated by Hofstede 1991 that a is always stable no matter how many cultures you throw into the mix. The paradox that both divergence and convergence are taking place side by side amongst local and regional cultures can be derived from the factors that are promoting globalization and obstacles to convergence that these drivers have broken down. We do have to note, however, that not everyone agrees with the theories of cultural convergence.
Cultural Divergence & Convergence
Within the country, the political demands from its own citizen seem to be on the rise. The more that we interact, is it possible that we're becoming more alike? And of course, we hope to further power our philosophy of cultural movements as we move forward. The role of national culture in international marketingresearch. Even the ones, which became successful, seem to be suffering from the internal and external pressure because of intense competition from other nations. They need to consider differences in national cultures.
Convergence Theory: Definition & Examples
Cultures begin to converge to determine appropriate methods for displaying respect in these international venues. Business leaders realize that knowing English is a commodity that can mean financial gain. The mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic Ocean is one. He points out that divergence not convergence will result from differences in world economies. If capital is not invested in these countries, however, and if international markets do not take notice or find that opportunity is viable there, no catch-up can occur.
She is the author and co-author of 12 books and serves as a consultant in K-12 and higher education. Cultural Resource Management is, essentially, a process by which the protection and management of the multitudinous but scarce elements of cultural heritage are given some consideration in a modern world with an expanding population and changing needs. Interdependence From what we can see throughout history, as nations become more industrialized, the more interdependent they become. Handy 2009 has discovered 4 such barriers and they are barriers of employment, Institutions, technology and workplace. Within the country, the political demands from its own citizen seem to be on the rise.
CULTURAL CONVERGENCE by Sherilyn Phillips on Prezi
Each nationality has its own sets of values, traditions, customs and ways as they have passed on from generation to generation. As a result, companies are now starting to converge to offer a new model and to enjoy the same benefits. Cultural differences have been shown to. But most importantly for the film industry films and tv seriers are now avabile to buy and download to the phone and games console, opening up when and where you can access media content. Eating and greeting are very different between Americans. For instance, India has its controversial caste system, which can influence hiring practices and job placement.
