Digication is an e-Portfolio tool for students to showcase and share their work online with their family, friends, teachers, and potential employers. Within Digication students and faculty can create e-Portfolios for various reasons. These e-Portfolios can then be shared with instructors, courses, departments, or the community.
You can access Texas A&M - San Antonio's instance of Digication here.
How can an e-Portfolio help me?
E-Portfolios are a great way for students and staff to gather artifacts of their work in one convenient place. An e-Portfolio can contain written works, photos, videos, collaborative assignments, projects, or reflective pieces. For example, a student could use an e-Portfolio to showcase their work for one particular course, and the instructor could then use the e-Portfolio as an assessment grade.
E-Portfolios can also follow a student throughout their entire university experience. This is a great way for students to gather work samples for potential future employment.
Faculty members can use an e-Portfolio to highlight their accomplishments or publish data required by the state. This is also a great way for faculty to show the community what their work is all about.
Check out our Digication Support e-Portfolio. You can find various support sections on how to create, customize, and share your e-Portfolio.

Egg quality is highly important to most consumers. That's why the Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection Division licenses egg producers, dealers, and retailers and also inspects eggs sold in Missouri for quality. Anyone who buys or sells eggs must be licensed and renew that license annually: July 1 - June 30.
What to know before applying for an egg license.
1. When will my egg license expire?
All egg licenses expire on June 30. Once you have an active egg license, renewal information will be sent out to the corporate address the last week of May.
2. At what temperature do I need to store, transport, and display my eggs?
3. What requirements are there for me to apply for a Retailer Egg License?
A current no tax due statement from the Missouri Department of Revenue web site or 573-751-9268.
4. I am planning on selling my eggs from my own flock at the farmers' market. What licensing requirements are there?
A limited retailer license would be required. All eggs must be candled and graded to be sold to the consumer.
5. I have a flock of chickens and want to sell the eggs to a local convenience store or restaurant. What type of license will I need?
A Missouri dealer's egg license is required.
Additionally, all labeling requirements described in question #7, must be followed.
6. Can I use previously used cartons to package the eggs?
The cartons must be clean and in sound condition.
Cartons must be labeled with the proper information as described in question #7.
To package eggs you must have either a dealer or limited retailer egg license.
7. What are the labeling requirements on the cartons of eggs?
To package eggs, you must possess either a Missouri dealer's egg license or a limited retailer egg license.
Each carton must have either the approved license number or the name and address of the person packaging the eggs, the size, grade, and the date the eggs are packaged.
8. I have a bakery and will be using fresh shell eggs in my baked products. Do I need a Processor's egg license?
No – a processor egg license allows for processing the eggs into either liquid or frozen eggs.
9. How long will it take to get my egg license and how will I receive it?
Allow two weeks for the application to be processed and the license to be mailed to you.
10. Where can I learn how to candle and grade the eggs?
A good reference is the "USDA Grading Manual".
11. Why do I need to candle my eggs? I don't have a rooster.
All eggs sold to consumers must be candled and graded.
Candling is also utilized to show evidence of abnormalities within the egg.
12. Can I renew my license online?
Not at the present time. Please contact our office at (573) 751-5639 to renew.
13. If I apply for an egg license on line with a credit card will there be a fee?
Yes, a processing fee will be charged.
14. Will I be getting an inspection?
Yes. All licensees are subject to at least an annual inspection by a state inspector.
15. What is the inspector looking for?
The inspector will check the quality of your eggs and ensure they match the labeling on the carton and that the eggs are kept at a temperature of 45ºF or lower.
16. If I sell my eggs strictly from my house, do I need an egg license?
No. If customers come to your house or farm to purchase the eggs, no licenses are required.
17. If I apply for an egg license in March, will the license be prorated?
No. Your license will expire on June 30. Renewal information for the next fiscal year will be sent to you in May.
A retailer is any person who sells eggs to a consumer.
A limited retailer license is appropriate for individuals selling their own eggs at farmers' markets.
A dealer is any person who buys eggs from producers or other dealers to sell eggs to another dealer, processor, or retailer. Fees are determined by the number of cases of eggs sold in any one week.
A processor is any person engaged in breaking eggs or processing egg liquids, whole egg meats, yolks, whites, or any mixture of yolks and whites with or without adding other ingredients. Fees are based on cases of eggs (or the equivalent in liquid or frozen eggs) processed in any one day.
The statutes governing the egg licensing and inspection program can be found in Chapter 196 of the Revised Missouri Statutes, 196.311 through 196.361. Rules and regulations are located in the Code of State Regulations - 2 CSR 90-36.010 and 2 CSR 90-36.020.

Man Sharing
by Randy Cohen
RANDY COHEN WEEK.
(Please: Randy Cohen is a genius of America. He is a writer of rarefied satires (personal and political) and, accordingly, his work rarely appears in popular periodicals. He has written for the New Yorker, the Nation, and Late Night with David Letterman and, a few years ago, he was fired as head writer of The Rosie O'Donnell Show. He currently writes and edits the News Quiz for Slate, the on-line magazine. (Do visit!) He has also written books, but because the world is as it is, his classic collection, Diary of a Flying Man (Knopf), is out of print. As meager recompense, this week we are reprinting selections from it, for no good reason at all.)
MAN SHARING.
"One Approach to the Shortage of Men is Sharing"
When Jeannine Kagle, vice president and director of marketing for a large California winery, heard that her boy-friend was going condo, she was distraught. A year later, she's delighted. "It's time-sharing that's made the difference," Kagle smiled from the seat of her company jet. "My career always came first with me, and how much was I actually seeing him? A lot less than you'd think. Now I get Jack one weekend a month plus two weeks in the summer, and it's terrific. I save a bundle on the upkeep and I'm still accumulating equity; the tax advantages are obvious."
For some it was efficiency, for others the man shortage, but for Allison Esterhause, a New York City bond trader, it was an investment opportunity. "When Malcolm went co-op," she recalls, "I was able to pick him up at the insider price — we'd been dating for more than a year — about fifty percent of his market value on a non-eviction plan. And I flipped him immediately. I made 55K on him, just over the weekend. It was the first time I'd made that much that fast, and there were no fees or commissions. With that kind of capital, I could easily afford a new boyfriend in a better neighborhood, one with a view."
As more and more executives discover the advantages of applying their professional skills to their personal lives, new companies are emerging to cater to their needs. Pamela Markham is a senior VP at Mantech Associates, a firm that manages time-shared boyfriends and locates undervalued men about to go co-op. She notes: "We've gotten our clients in on the ground floor of some terrific guys — handsome, educated, charming, really presentable men that you can bring to dinner with your CEO and not be embarrassed."
Naturally, Markham finds interest rates to be a constant concern. "Absolutely. A lot of these guys are interested only in themselves — windbags and blowhards! But if you can find a fellow who is even moderately attentive to his partner's needs, and of course a bank that will provide the financing — anything under eleven percent these days — well, you're looking at impressive upside potential."
It was a happy accident that propelled investment banker Stephanie Ashforth into this volatile new field: "I was having one of those conversations with a woman I knew only professionally, after squash at the Athletic Club. We both were complaining about the men we were involved with, and our complaints were so similar — lack of commitment, immaturity, the sex thing. Then it hit us: we were talking about the same guy. We were each other's other woman!
"After that, it was just a matter of our lawyers sitting down and hammering out the details: scheduling, maintenance, liability insurance; you know, in case someone breaks him, who covers the repair bills? And now my tax consultant tells me she can work out a great depreciation scheme on Phillip — once they hit fifty, these men can just fall apart, you know. With what I save, I'll be able to pick up a little young one to use around town when I can't get away for the weekend."
Productivity gains, an unexpected byproduct, have been spectacular, reports Beryl Hewett. "With my professional obligations, I was spending very little time with Murph. I'd say I was running him at no more than thirty percent of capacity. He'd squander these huge blocks of downtime watching football on TV. A total waste. Now, thanks to the time-sharing plan I've established with a few other execs, we've got him up to seventy-three percent of capacity. What a saving! Your fixed costs are there anyway — shoes, beer, dental — but your output skyrockets. Our goal is to get him up to 90% by the end of the next fiscal year. We might look for a new limited partner, or we might go public with him. We'll hash it out between sessions at the IMF next month; all the owners will be there, a happy coincidence. Murph? Oh, we'll put him in the shop for routine maintenance."
Margaret Durning, a Kansas City commodities trader, is seeing a very attractive man on a sale and lease-back arrangement. She transferred his title to the Lamarado Development Company and now rents him for weekends and holidays with an option to reclaim him in five years at half his replacement value. "The sale provided an infusion of funds that really bailed me out of a cash-flow bind," Durning notes, "and it provided Lamarado with some sweet tax write-offs. It's the kind of innovative, mutually beneficial response that makes you feel great about American management. Let me tell you, the Japanese haven't gotten into this at all. They're still fumbling around with antiquated concepts. It's like the 1950s; I think they still go steady. We're way out in front on this thing. It makes you proud to be an American and an MBA."

Juniper Network Engineer Job Description
The JNWE has the best job description for a network engineer. What exactly is a network engineer?
Network engineers work in an organization's computer networks, connecting computers to each other and to information systems. Some computer users use their computers to access information systems that may be linked to other computers in a network.
In some ways, network engineers are more like lawyers than programmers because they are responsible for many of the programs that perform calculations and logical tasks that are essential to using computers. Computer programs are not built out of the computer hardware, but rather are designed to take commands from hardware.
The basic function of a network engineer job description is to configure and control computers, networks, and information systems. Network engineers build software systems that help them configure data. They ensure the effectiveness of the software system.
The basic job description of a network engineer includes troubleshooting errors, programming devices, and installing hardware. A network engineer will also be responsible for troubleshooting hardware failures and the design and implementation of new technology.
A network engineer job description involves designing a physical infrastructure that connects computers and information systems. The infrastructure is typically comprised of routers, switches, firewalls, and servers.
Most network engineers start as network technicians who work to update computer networks. Once the network is established, the network engineer can move on to more specific responsibilities such as performing specific functions.
In order to qualify for a network engineer job description, an individual must have at least some experience in the field. Network engineering requires a great deal of hands-on training and experience.
The educational requirements for an entry-level network engineer job description include a Bachelor's degree or Associate's degree. Students pursuing these degrees should be working at a two-year college or university.
If an individual wants to advance in his or her career, a network engineer job description may include at least a Master's degree or Ph.D. The advanced courses required of a network engineer include both an Associates and a Bachelors degree.
The overall job description for a network engineer may require different certifications in certain circumstances. A network engineer will need to prove his or her knowledge by obtaining certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
If you would like to advance your career, join the growing ranks of network engineers by becoming certified through one of the many job training schools available. Networking can take practice and dedication to get used to, but once mastered, networking is the career for most.

Rensselaer win keeps Red from cellar
TROY, N.Y. — Following his team's shutout loss to Union on Friday a stoic Mike Schafer '86 kept things in perspective by alluding to an old college hockey addage: split your games on the road but win all your games at home, and you'll be alright.
The next night, Cornell (1-2, 1-1 ECAC) took the first step in proving true Schafer's theory by knocking off Rensselaer, 3-2, in front of a giddy crowd at the Houston Field House. Though it was by no means pretty, the win sets up a tantalizing match up at Lynah this Friday night against Harvard which upped its league record to 2-1 with a weekend victory Dartmouth.
Sophomore left winger Sam Paolini handed Cornell a win and its first league points when he took a pass from junior David Kozier on the doorstep of the RPI net and flicked it in past Nathan Marsters at 15:50 in the second period.
"Oh, what a huge goal!" Paolini explained. "Kozier just made a great space pass and I was right there."
"Sam's just playing great," said Cornell sophomore goalie Chris Gartman. "And I'm really glad for him that he scored."
While Paolini earned the No. 1 star of the match for his game-winning score, Gartman must be duly credited for his spectacular play in net. After allowing a pesky tip-in goal to Marc Cavosie only :56 into the game, the sophomore stonewalled the Engineers for the remainder of the game, keeping them off the scoreboard for the duration of the third period.
"It was a kind of a weird goal and it's one you never want to give up," Gartman said, describing Rensselaer's opening score. "And I said to myself that I had to make up for that."
Even when RPI pulled Marsters with 1:34 to go in the game, Gartman held his ground, denying Jim Vickers on a point-blank shot with about a minute left to preserve the Red's win.
"Gartman played unbelievable," Paolini declared. "He made a lot of huge saves and that kept us in it."
As much as the Red desperately needed the victory, what makes the victory even more stupendous is that it came in a time of mounting adversity.
Not only was the Red down a goal less than minute into play, not only were forwards Stephen B
Election Battle Rages in Court
Prof. Walter R. Mebane Jr., government, traveled to Florida yesterday to prepare testimony as a possible expert witness for Democrats challenging the legality of Palm Beach County's now-famous "butterfly" ballots. "This all happened very quickly, over the past couple of days," Mebane said. Mebane is part of a five-man team of expert witnesses that includes Jonathan N. Ward grad, Prof. Kenneth W. Shotts, political science, Northwestern University, and Profs. Jasjeet S. Sekhon and Michael C. Herron, Center for Basic Research in the Social Sciences, Harvard University. "We're all doing this pro-bono. It's not yet clear whether any of us will be called to testify. It may be the judge will not allow testimony. Who knows — the whole hearing may be over in 30 seconds for some technical legal reason," Mebane said. The Democrats' action is part of the wide-ranging effort on behalf of both parties to capture Florida's crucial 25 Electoral College votes, which have been in limbo since Election Day one week ago. That night, the state was first declared for Vice President Al Gore, then for Texas Gov. George W. Bush, then finally left as too close to call. Florida's votes are essential for either candidate to garner the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Prof. Isaac Kramnick, chair of the government department, said Mebane would be working with the legal teams for the six Palm Beach County voters who have filed suit on a number of issues including the layout of the ballot. The county has been the epicenter of a political earthquake after some voters said they became confused and accidentally voted for Reform Party candidate Patrick Buchanan rather than Gore due to the ballot's "butterfly" format. Buchanan garnered 3,407 votes in Palm Beach County compared to totals ranging from 563 to 1,010 votes in neighboring counties that were politically similar but did not use the "butterfly" ballot. Sekhon said the group is "trying hard to be non-partisan. The five of us are a politically diverse group, and the fact that we can agree on the empirical situation is I think a victory for positive social science." Mebane and his four colleagues authored a paper entitled "Voting Irregularities in Palm Beach County," which was released Saturday at . According to the paper's abstract, "our analysis shows that in Palm Beach County, Buchanan did better in precincts that strongly supported Gore. In addition, we show that liberal precincts within Palm Beach County tended to have higher proportions of ballots that were not counted for the presidential election either because no holes were punched or multiple holes were punched." "This evidence supports the claim that the ballot format in Palm Beach County led some Gore supporters mistakenly to vote for Buchanan and, in some cases, to vote for multiple presidential candidates," the authors concluded. Amy Gershkoff '02, a Republican Party activist and a student in Mebane's course, Government 317: Campaigns and Elections, said she had read the paper and found it "interesting empirically. My guess is that the votes for Buchanan were in fact meant for Gore. If Prof. Mebane is going down to Florida to help prove that, he is probably right." While she saw Mebane's involvement as academically important, Gershkoff, who has worked as a polling volunteer since the age of 15, said she does not support holding a re-vote in the county. "What's done is done," she said. "This is not the first time people have made mistakes in the voting booth. I would say the same thing even if the tables were turned." Josh Roth '03, publicity director for the Cornell Democrats, said he was "fully in support of efforts to count every vote that should count [in Palm Beach County], not only those Buchanan votes which were meant for Gore, but all those votes which are being re-counted by hand." "It definitely encourages the Cornell Democrats to know that someone from our university is down in Florida working on something we support," he added.Archived article by Katherine Davis
Students, Administrators Continue Talks on Race Relations
Eight students met with administrators yesterday in Day Hall to continue discussions about race relations and present their goals for how the administration should approach this issue. The meeting took place one week after President Hunter R. Rawlings III and Susan H. Murphy '73, vice president for student and academic services, issued a response to recent bias-related incidents on campus. Murphy's report, "To Transform the Climate of the Larger Campus Community," focused on improving safety as well as diversity programs during Orientation Week and through course work. The students' proposal cited three points: written letters of apology from the perpetrators of bias-related incidents if they are Cornell students, a performance by Ordinary People Drama Troupe during Cornell Night and workshops for resident advisors. The students also addressed other points of the original report, such as appropriate diversity course work and selection of members to serve on Orientation Week planning committees. Responding to the first point, Murphy explained that the Judicial Administrator formulates the punishment for hate crime offenders based on the Campus Code of Conduct. Lisa Wang '02, co-president of Asian Pacific Americans for Action, then pointed to a model from Ithaca College as one way of revising the consequences, noting that looking toward other campuses is key in trying to prevent bias-related incidents. In following with Murphy's report, Shirleen Robinson grad sent letters to the minority groups at 11 universities around the country and received many suggestions on "what works, what doesn't work" in mandatory diversity classes. "Schools that are sort of rural, isolated, they're more likely to be invested in this sort of thing," Robinson said. "This is another argument that it's needed [at Cornell]." Other students added that even though individual colleges determine the distribution requirements for graduation, many schools already expect course work on other cultures, such as the geographical and historical breadth requirement in the College of Arts and Sciences. The final aspect of the students' goals would be to start diversity training from the first week that freshmen arrive on campus. According to the proposal, Ordinary People, a performance group that uses skits to teach tolerance, would perform at Cornell Night, one of the best-attended events of Orientation Week. "We're hard-hitting, we're poignant, we're in your face enough — we'll definitely get people to pay attention," said James Lamb Jr. '03, a member of Ordinary People. "Facilitation is one of the strongest points of Ordinary People." "I'm trying to be sensitive to 2,000 students, some of them being confronted with something this in-your-face for the first time," Murphy said, regarding the Ordinary People aspect of the proposal. "I don't want them in a situation they can't handle." "We are studying this very carefully to see what we can do," said LeNorman J. Strong, assistant vice president for student and academic services. "We have the world's best intentions to try to get students [to an Ordinary People performance at Cornell Night]." Provost Biddy (Carolyn A.) Martin will set up a committee to formulate discussions on increasing diversity in Orientation Week activities. Although members haven't been chosen yet, nominations were requested from the Student Assembly and the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA). The students at the meeting, however, brought up concerns regarding this method. "Generally speaking, the S. A. is antagonistic about diversity," Lamb said, an undesignated-at-large representative on the assembly. "The likelihood of students who would be interested in this would be found in minority student organizations," Nicole Guidotti-Hernandez grad said. "I don't even think there's a minority liaison on the GPSA." Dean of Students John L. Ford emphasized the importance of having minority representatives on the Orientation Steering Committee. "I think that all the energy that has gone into this will continue if we build this tradition of having students of color on the Orientation Steering Committee," he said. "I don't think we'll rework what we did," Murphy said. "I consider this an open dialogue … in the spirit of keeping this a conversation." Archived article by Beth Herskovits

Giants fans find opportunity in Detroit
Fans wait in line in the bitter cold to get free tickets for the Minnesota Vikings' Monday night football game against the New York Giants at Ford Field in Detroit. (Dec. 13, 2010) Credit: AP
By TOM ROCK tom.rock@newsday.com Updated December 13, 2010 10:39 PM
DETROIT - The McCarthy family from Iowa has been away from home since Saturday . . . just like the Giants. A blizzard prevented them from getting to Minneapolis . . . just like the Giants. And last night they managed to get right on the turf at Ford Field . . . just like the Giants.
OK, so the McCarthys were a few feet removed from their favorite NFL team, sitting in the first row behind the Giants' bench at the 40-yard line. And it had been an exhausting - and sometimes frightening - weekend for the family of four, which includes Brian and Kristen and their two sons, Justin and Troy. But when they were among the first fans to enter the stadium Monday evening and sprinted down to their front-row seats, those problems seemed like distant and almost happy memories.
"We haven't missed a Giants game in 10 years, but none of us have ever seen them in person," Brian McCarthy said, looking up just in time to see Eli Manning jog past during a warmup. "Until now."
The McCarthys were among the hundreds of Giants fans who found their way to Ford Field to root on their favorite team last night. The announced attendance was 45,910. While the stadium was mostly home to Vikings fans - and Lions fans who came to boo the Vikings - there were enough folks wearing Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck jerseys to make their presence felt.
Such as Eric and Massiele Schweiger, originally from New Jersey but transplanted to Michigan. When they heard that the NFL and the Lions were giving away free tickets to the displaced game, they jumped at the opportunity to grab them. Eric Schweiger said he hadn't seen the Giants in person in 13 years since they played the Lions at the Silverdome.
Or Central Michigan University student Amy Lindstrom, who has been a fan of Peyton and Eli Manning for as long as she can remember and snagged front-row seats. She didn't rely on the freebie giveaway. Instead, she put out a desperate plea on Facebook looking for people who had ticket stubs from Sunday's Lions-Packers game, another way for fans to get into last night's game. She came up with four of them, enough for her, her roommate and her parents.
The McCarthys already had tickets for the game originally scheduled to be played in Minneapolis on Sunday. They drove into the blizzard to get there, a nine-hour drive that should have been about half that, but the snow was so blinding and the roads so treacherous that they had to stop about 35 miles shy of the Twin Cities. They figured their chances of seeing the Giants were finished. Said 13-year-old Justin: "I cried."

But as they were starting to head back to their Iowa home, they learned that the Metrodome roof had collapsed and the game had been moved to Detroit. They immediately hooked a left, headed east on another 11-hour drive to Detroit and pulled up in front of Ford Field at about 4:30 p.m. Monday. They were standing at the gate when the stadium opened.
And they were practically standing on the field when the game started . . . just like the Giants.

We have with us today the author of Angel Star, Jennifer Murgia!
When I was in third grade, we were learning poetry. I LOVED it! That combined with growing up as an only child, I had an enormous amount of imagination stored up. I was also a voracious reader as a child. When I would run out of stories, I would invent my own.
2. How long did it take you to write Angel Star?
It took me exactly eight months. That included my own editing and revising.
I'm a jumper. My brain is packed full of scenes and character conversations that I tend to jump forward or backward in a story, write what's in my head and then go back. I can't sit down and write from the beginning to the end. That just doesn't work with me.
I really have many, many favorites but one of my all-time favorites is A Great and Terrible Beauty. I love books about magic and other worlds. I also deeply love gothic tales, so the Gemma Doyle series is a sure winner with me.
I love to read! I also like to get goofy with my kids - oh, and I'm addicted to Klondike on my iPod.
6. Could you describe your novel in seven words?
Girl and Guardian Angel battle dark evil.
one was that I finished. When you have so many thoughts in your head, it's hard to imagine it ever becoming a final. I became so attached to my characters and the world they lived in, that I couldn't stop writing about them! I am also the type of person to want to change things ALL THE TIME. Editing was a process that could honestly last forever with me. It was a sheer wonder that I could say I was finished and close my computer and walk away!
8. Do you have any suggestions to help others become better writers? If so, what are they?
Write for yourself. I believe there's a story in each of us and if you can find the key to unlock it, then let it out. You are the most important audience and if the story can live up to your standards first,then you can unleash it.
9. What do you think makes a good story? Why?
The world building. If a story draws you into its scope and keeps you there, then it's a winner.
10. Do you think that you will continue to write books? If so, what genres are you interested in writing?
Oh absolutely! LEMNISCATE, the sequel to ANGEL STAR, is about to enter the editing stage with my publisher and I have so many other ideas. I think I'll stick with YA for a while – it's what I feel very connected to. I tend to let my dark side out when I write so it's definitely the paranormal I'll be sticking with too, though I would love to try my hand at historical fiction.
Be sure to check out her novel, Angel Star.
It's hitting the shelves on May 18th!

I'm dying to read Angel Star and hopefully can really soon. The sequel is already on my radar!


Philippine Ambassador to Egypt Leslie J Baja said that his embassy organised a study tour for delegates of the Egyptian General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) in July, adding that GAFI completed a one-week tour of Philippine industrial and technological parks, visiting various IT and manufacturing zones in Metro Manila, Cebu, Laguna, Baguio, and Batangas.
"A follow-up visit to the Philippines by GAFI and the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce is expected later this year," the ambassador told Daily News Egypt, adding that a visit to Egypt later this year by a Philippine business delegation is also being finalised.
On Monday, the Philippine embassy in Cairo celebrated its national day, which was postponed from 12 June, when it commemorated the proclamation of independence of the Filipino people from Spain in 1898. From 28 May until 12 June, all local and national government agencies displayed the national flag in celebration of independence. Schools, private establishments, and households were encouraged to do the same.
Philippine's economy is developing very well in recent years. Can you provide more information about it?
In 2017, the World Bank ranked the Philippines as the third best performer in Asia, after Vietnam and China. The economy grew 6.9% year-over-year in 2016 and 6.7% y-o-y in 2017.
The Philippine government amended laws, rules, and regulations in order to reduce restrictions on foreign participation in certain economic activities. One example is the Republic Act No 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act, signed on 28 May 2018.
This new law will make the process of putting up and running a business in the Philippines much easier and more efficient, for both Filipino and foreign businesses.
Also, the massive public infrastructure development programme called "Build, Build, Build" will be vital to the country's economic growth. It will support a positive growth trajectory and enhance the quality of life in both urban and rural communities.
The government is also heavily investing in education and health, which are considered as the "soft infrastructure" imperative for sustainable economic development. The recently passed Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act will grant full government subsidies for tuition in state universities and colleges, and the Universal Health Care Bill, once passed, will grant every Filipino the right to quality health by virtue of citizenship.
Likewise, the Bangsamoro Organic Law (Republic Act No 11054) is a historic milestone law that will provide the basic government structure for the Bangsamoro Autonomous region, and is expected to bring lasting peace, order, and economic development for the Muslim region and greater Mindanao area in Southern Philippines.
How does Philippines celebrate its national day?
The country's Independence Day is on 12 June. This annual national holiday commemorates the proclamation of independence of the Filipino people from Spain in 1898.
From 28 May until 12 June, all local and national government agencies display the national flag in celebration of independence. Schools, private establishments, and households are encouraged to do the same.
On 12 June every year, the official festivities take place, including the raising of the national flag at various historical sites in the country. The president usually presides over the flag-raising and the Philippine Independence Day Parade in the Rizal Park in Manila. This is followed by the vin d'honneur held at the Malacañan Palace (presidential palace) with high government officials and the diplomatic corps as guests.
Likewise, in Philippine embassies and in countries where there are big concentrations of Filipinos, receptions, parties, cultural performances, and parades are also being held and organised, usually with the active participation of the Filipino community.
What is current condition of Philippine tourism industry? What are main sources of tourists for Philippines?
In 2017, the tourism industry contributed 12.2% to the national economy. Likewise, the 2017 World Travel and Tourism Council reported that the travel and tourism industry contributed 18.1% of the total direct and indirect employment in the Philippines. Bohol, Cebu, Palawan, and Manila remain the country's top tourist destinations.
As of May 2018, tourists visiting the Philippines come from South Korea (22.20% of the total share), China (17.60%), and the United States (14.58%).
Egypt is the Philippines' second largest source of tourists in the Middle East, after Bahrain.
Were there any business missions between Philippines, Egypt in recent years? What were outcomes of these visits?
In July this year, the Philippine embassy in Cairo organized a study tour for delegates of GAFI, which completed a one-week tour of Philippine industrial and technological parks, visiting various IT and manufacturing zones in Metro Manila, Cebu, Laguna, Baguio, and Batangas.
A follow-up visit to the Philippines by GAFI and the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce is expected later this year.
Likewise, a visit to Egypt later this year by a Philippine business delegation is also being finalised.
How many Filipinos visit Egypt annually? What places do they visit?
Many Filipinos are fascinated with the rich cultural heritage of Ancient Egypt. They visit the Pyramids, museums, and well-known archaeological and historical sites, including places with religious significance.
A growing number of Filipinos visit Egypt due to the rising popularity of Holy Land tours, in which Filipinos make pilgrimage visits to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.
How many Filipinos work in Egypt? What kinds of challenges do they face?
As of May 2018, Egypt is home to about 5,700 Filipinos and approximately 78% of them live in Cairo. Many are professional (skilled and service) workers. Filipinos married to Egyptians and their children also represent a considerable number. There are also students taking courses in different schools and universities in Cairo.
There are also numerous Filipino household service workers in Egypt. Most of the problems they encounter are related to labour and working conditions. Some are being hired without employment contracts and some are not provided with the necessary work permits and visas by their employers.
There are also domestic issues in Filipino-Egyptian families every now and then.
How does Philippines deal with issue of Rohingya people?
The Philippine government welcomes the establishment by Myanmar of an independent commission of inquiry to investigate alleged human rights violations in the Rakhine State. Ambassador Rosario Manalo, former undersecretary of foreign affairs of the Philippines, was appointed head of the commission.
The Philippines considers the establishment of the commission a positive step towards addressing the Rohingya issue.

The charity sector is used to being criticised. There seems to be some sort of compulsion to tell the sector that it exists to do good, that it is bad, and to knock its halo.

Is this strategy really just an act of seduction?
The relationship between government and civil society has not been good for some years. We have been through fair amounts of conflict and betrayal, and neither party is entirely blameless. Reconciliation is desperately needed, so can we find a way forward? The new Civil Society Strategy seems like a well-timed intervention.

The scale and ubiquity of mass and social media have boomed over the past 30 years.

Alexander McQueen, Tales from Shanghai
Heba Hasan
by Heba Hasan
Alexander McQueen's new store in Shanghai is a cabinet of curiosities. Inspired by everything from Francis Bacon's grotesque Pope paintings, to Rorschach inkblots, and raw primitivism, the 1600-square-foot boutique is an all-consuming visual and sensory experience.
Lanvin's Paris is Coming to You
Alber Elbaz is no stranger to thinking outside the box.
New Again: Michael Phelps
by Heba Hasan and Allen Barra
After marking his retirement with a record-breaking finish, it's hard to imagine Michael Phelps as a rookie. We take a look back at time when Phelps was just a 2004 Olympic hopeful: a teenage kid with a predilection for French vanilla ice cream, DMX rap songs, and of course, winning.
Casting Call: Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
The 1962 cult classic Whatever Happened to Baby Jane takes the age-old ailment of sibling rivalry and stretches it to its most grotesque, adding in a sadistic senior citizen, a gothic storyline, and blood-chilling scenes of physical and mental abuse.

The Committee had one of its regular meetings on Tuesday 15thNovember. Much of the business was routine but there was some good news in that revisions to the 2011/2012 Programme have now been completed and the final version is enclosed with this Newsletter. We apologise for the delay and any inconvenience caused. John Carberry has settled into plans for 2012/13 and work on that is now well advanced. Incidentally, the response to the annual request for suggestions for possible speakers was rather disappointing this year. We do appreciate the ideas members put forward though there is sometimes a considerable delay before suggestions actually appear on the programme but please keep them coming. The Committee has now turned its attention to the membership of the Committee which will take office after the AGM in March 2012. The present Committee has two vacancies which were unfilled in April 2011 and there are likely to be at least one and possibly two more vacancies as some present members come to the end of their three-year term. So we would welcome new members as we would like to see more newer members of Oxford U3A offer their services so that the work is constantly refreshed. The commitment is not heavy – four afternoons a year – and the meetings seldom last more than one and a half hours. If you are interested and would like to know more about what we do before committing yourself please talk to me or any other Committee member SPONSORED WALK
In aide of Parkinson's UK
We were contacted by the charity Parkinson's UK which was arranging a sponsored walk in Oxford on Sunday 26th November. It was thought we could raise the suggested figure of £50 in sponsorship from members at our Thursday meetings and your Editor agreed to do the walk on Oxford U3A's behalf. The final amount raised was £63.34. Minerva Booth
We recently received this letter from Minerva Booth, a member of Oxford U3A since 1996 which we are reproducing with her permission. "I have been a member of U3A for many years and very much regret that, having just celebrated my 99th birthday, I feel it is time to withdraw my membership. I have greatly enjoyed the wonderful programmes of talks, expeditions and social activities over the years. The friendship and mental stimulation has made growing old pleasantly stimulating! I would like to thank the many members who have helped to organise everything and I hope U3A will continue to flourish – as I'm sure it will. With all good wishes Minerva Booth" Thank you, Minerva, and warm wishes in return from all members. We will keep in touch with Minerva and send her the Newsletters.
Any member is welcome to join Betty Lewis, the convenor, on these walks – just turn up! They are
not strenuous and most enjoyable. For more information contact Betty or to confirm whether the
walk is going ahead if the weather looks uncertain.
Friday 30th March Meet outside Magdalen College at 2.00 pm, walk through grounds to Addison's
Walk, then to Fellows' Garden which should be bright with spring flowers. Proceed to the other
side of Addison's Walk back to the High Street.
Friday 27th April Meet outside University Parks at 2.00 pm – Norham Gardens entrance (Bevington
Road bus stop). Walk through park to Mesopotamis and on to Marston Road ending in St.
Clement's.
Details of further walks later in the year will be given in the next Newsletter.
Many thanks to Alistair Tulloch for compiling the latest annual listing of Oxford U3A SIGs, a copy of
which is circulated with this Newsletter.
Churches and Pubs This group will be meeting for an informal pub lunch at the Royal Oak,
Woodstock Road, at 12.00 noon on Tuesday 7th February. We hope to welcome more U3A
members, especially new members on this occasion, whether or not anyone chooses to join the
Group at this stage. You will, however, have the opportunity to learn how interesting and
enjoyable our church visits are. Just let Joan Airey know if you are coming so that table space can
be reserved for us.
Introduction to Birdwatching – possible new group There has been some interest shown following
my proposal in the last Newsletter. Winter is perhaps not the best time to try and get people
interested in an outdoor activity so I hope to get a group started later in the year when Spring is
around the corner. Please let me know if you are interested (without commitment). Many U3A
groups run successful birding groups at varying levels of experience. What I envisage is:
Gentle walks through various local habitats within Oxford ring road or just outside A gentle introduction to identifying birds through visual sighting, calls and song, and behaviour No twitching, just a relaxing walk possibly ending up at a convenient pub Contact Tel 01865 452579 or peterjwilk@hotmail.co.uk or on a Thursday afternoon. SUBSCRIPTIONS REMINDER
Subscriptions for 2012 are now due and if you have not so far paid please send a cheque made out to Oxford U3A for £21, together with a stamped addressed envelope, to the Membership Secretary, Hazel George, as soon as possible. Please use the renewal form sent to all members in October. Members who have not renewed their membership by 31st January will be deemed to have resigned. DAVID HOCKNEY EXHIBITION – ROYAL ACADEMY

CHRISTMAS TEA AT CHRIST CHURCH – Tuesday, 13th December
Once again many members enjoyed the glorious surroundings of Great Hall at Christ Church for a Christmas Tea; we are very grateful to Michael Walker for arranging it. Before that most took the opportunity of a tour visiting either the Cathedral, informatively led by Michael, or the Old Library looking resplendent with its recently restored plaster ceiling. After an introduction by the Librarian we were able to look at early printed books and manuscripts together with other artifacts including Cardinal Wolsey's hat. PROGRAMME PLANNING PANEL
The Panel met on 13th December. Progress on the programme of speakers for 2012-2013 is well
advanced with the first term already finalised and lots of ideas for the rest of what promises to be a
good range of topics. Many thanks are due to John Carberry, Co-ordinator of Speakers, and Iren
Lusted for their work on this. The Panel also debated coach trips for 2012. In addition to the trip to
the David Hockney Exhibition already organised two more all-day trips have been agreed, details to
be finalised.
Cotswolds Trip. These have been successful in the past, the last time the trip was organised being
2007. Denise Walker has kindly agreed to lead the trip. Further details including date and booking
form in March Newsletter.
Wrest Park. The ninety acres of Wrest Park's 'secret gardens' in Hertfordshire were opened last
summer by English Heritage. 300 years of garden history can now be seen including the work of

INTERVIEW: Just wanted to be out there
Josh Todd on his first team debut
First-year professional Josh Todd came off the bench during the second half of the Boxing Day victory over Hartlepool to make his debut for the first team following what has been a frustrating start to the campaign for the hard-working holding midfielder.
The highly-rated ball player is widely tipped to make an impression and we got his reaction to his first senior appearance shortly after full time on Wednesday.
"It's felt like I've had to wait a long while for that and it's nice to get it out of the way," he admitted.
"Obviously I had a bad injury at the start of the season, and then I got back on terms with things after my loan at Workington, and it was nice to finally get my chance to get out there.
"It hasn't been too frustrating because all you can do is work hard. But the other lads the same age as me have done so well and it's been a case of wanting to be out there with them to show people what I can do."
"The gaffer has said that he's been impressed with me since I came back from Workington," he added. "I've been in and around the first team a lot more and I knew it was just going to be a matter of time."
"It was a good feeling when he called me over," he explained. "I was a bit nervous initially but then I just wanted to be out there. The manager told me that their number two was getting in the hole too much and it was going to be my job to go in there and stop that from happening.
"It was nice to hear the reaction from the crowd when I went on and it was just great to be involved. Hopefully I can build things up from here and get a few more appearances between now and the end of the season."
"The lads I came through the youth team with have been a big inspiration for me," he said. "It's been great to watch them and I just want to do the same as them. I don't think the results have reflected the level of performances we've been putting in recently so hopefully I'll be able to help along the way with that as well."
"A nice thing was that I've just looked at my phone and there is a text from my mam and dad, so they're obviously delighted for me," he concluded. "They've been behind me every step of the way and I'm looking forward to seeing what they will have to say about it all."

Atlas is lacking some aarch64-specific bits. The attached patch adds aarch64 support based on the existing arm patch.
Patch applied to f19, f20 and rawhide. Not rebuilt since it does not affect primary architectures. Aarch64 untested because no hardware available.
3.10.1-10 failed to build for AArch64. Attached fix is what made it built.
This is newer version of Mark Salter patchset.

This post was originally included in our 2011 Dialogues series. But we think it deserves separate attention, and are republishing it with the author's permission.
One symptom of this problem is disability simulations. The conventional disability simulation consists of a person who can walk trying to get around in a wheelchair, or a person who can see wearing a blindfold. These simulations are criticized because they don't really simulate disability. A person can come away with a feeling like, "It would be horrible to be blind," because as someone who is used to being sighted, they found blindness to be much more scary, overwhelming, and unnatural than an actual blind person does. An hour-long disability doesn't resemble a real disability any more than the lack of disability does.
Do you think it's just an interesting exercise, or might some of these ideas begin to explain a problem you've had with someone of a different disability status?


As always, when a new Bond is announced, the world and his Persian cat has something to say on the matter. Too old, too young, not English enough, not suave enough, too short, too tall blah blah blah (let's not get into the whole black or female thing here though) and Daniel Craig was no exception. Disgusted of Tonbridge Wells no doubt furiously wrote to the Express to say that "I for one, won't be watching". Well, who cares, because Casino Royale was the best Bond movie in decades. I'll even entertain the idea that it is indeed the best. Gone was that dreadful hairdresser, gone was all the silliness that threatened to bury Bond forever in the wake of far more up to date action spy heroes. And in strutted a grit not seen since OHMSS. OK, so the follow up wasn't too crash hot, but in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig saved Bond. Hooray.


We believe the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God. True in all it affirms and without error as originally written. The bible is God's message to mankind.
We believe in one true and living God, who revealed Himself in the Bible in nature and in man's conscience as the Creator, Lawgiver, and Judge, existing eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God, who became fully human by miraculous conception and virgin birth, He lived a life of perfect obedience, subservient to the will of the Father, an voluntarily atoned for the sins of men and women by dying on the cross, and rose bodily from the grave. He achieved victory over death and the powers of evil, and ascended into heaven where, as the only Mediator between God and humanity. His Second Coming, is the great hope of the church.
We believe that the Person of the Holy Spirit is fully God, who applies the saving work of Jesus Christ to sinful human beings. During this age, the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict, regenerate, indwell, guide, instruct, empower, and uniquely believe for godly living and service, so that the church is built up. We believe that all gifts of the Spirit in the New Testament are available today in the life of the church.
We believe that human beings were created in the image of God for his pleasure. God's desire was to establish a relationship with man, andto allow man to have dominion over the earth. Tempted By Satan, man rebelled and sinned against God, and therefore was alienated from Him.
As a result all human beings became guilty before God, subject to sin's power, inclined toward disobedience to God's moral law, and unable to please God apart from His saving grace. Because all human beings possess and eternal spirit, we believe that believers will spend eternity in the presence of God (Heaven), while unbelievers, at their choosing, will be eternally separated from God (Hell).
We believe that salvation is deliverance from alienation, sin, guilt, bandage, and death, as well as restoration to fellowship, righteousness, freedom, and life for all who repent of their sins and who trust in Jesus Christ. Salvation originates and is sustained by God's sovereign and loving grace, is based on Christ's saving work, is received by faith alone.
We believe the Church is called to worship God and to demonstrate His gracious character in the world proclaiming the gospel, making disciples from all nations, observing baptism and the Lord's Supper, maintaining the unity and purity of the body, and seeking to apply the truths of Scripture in the needs of people.
We believe in Christ's imminent return for His church (rapture) ushering in seven years of worldwide tribulation. At the end of this period Christ will come to restore the nation of Israel, and set up His millennial kingdom. After this He will judge all mankind.
We believe this Statement of Faith to be an accurate summary of what Scriptures teach. CLC recognizes that it cannot bind the conscience of individual members in areas where the Bible is silent. Rather, each believer is to be led in those areas by the Lord, to whom he or she is responsible.


After driving past Congressional Cemetery countless times, I finally decided to tour it. Maybe it was the abundant street parking that convinced me, but what a jewel I've been missing.
The 35-acre cemetery on Capitol Hill was established in 1807 as the Washington Parish Burial Ground. Soon it would be called the "national burying ground" for the congressmen, justices, military leaders and prominent citizens that now number 55,000.
The famous folks interned there include military band composer John Phillip Sousa, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, Capitol architect William Thornton and Civil War photographer Matthew Brady.
But the really curious attraction is the 166 sandstone cenotaphs. Eighty U.S. Congressmen and Senators who died in office were buried there until 1870 when Massachusetts Senator George Frisbie Hoar said the strange markers gave new meaning to the "terrors of death." However, Congressman Stephen Joshua Solarz was buried there in 2010, though with a traditional black marble stone.
There are soldiers from the Revolutionary, War of 1812 and Civil Wars with an occasional sprinkling of those white marble stones more often seen at Arlington National Cemetery.
The cemetery offers free tours on Saturdays at 11 a.m. from April through November. It's open every day with access through the gate to the right of the house. Maps are in a mailbox to the right just inside.

D Dave Sutter (Seattle, 2010-12) signed a one-year contract with Genève-Servette (Switzerland, NL A). He had five goals and 14 assists in 66 games for the Thunderbirds this season. . . . Sutter, who is from Monthey, Switzerland, played two seasons with the Thunderbirds, putting up 30 points in 137 games. He is eligible to return for his 20-year-old season but would be a two-spotter — a 20-year-old and and import. . . .
F David Koci (Prince George, 2000-01) signed a one-year contract extension with Sparta Prague (Czech Republic, Extraliga). He had five assists in 41 games for Sparta this season. Koci's 132 PIMs were fourth highest in the Extraliga.
D Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks is said to have good work habits. His father, NBA assistant coach Popeye Jones, says his son learned from watching Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Popeye was an assistant coach with the Mavs and would take his son to the odd practice. Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune has that and more as he catches up with the Jones's right here.
THE COACHING GAME:
Brad Larsen is the new head coach of the Springfield Falcons, the AHL affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. Larsen (Swift Current, 1993-97), from Nakusp, B.C., signed a two-year contract that contains an option for a third season. . . . Larsen is one of those rare players to have been selected twice in the NHL draft. He was taken 53rd overall by the Ottawa Senators in 1995 and then went 87th overall to the Colorado Avalanche in 1997. He would go on to total 48 points and 134 penalty minutes in 294 NHL games with Colorado and the Atlanta Thrashers. . . . Larsen has been an assistant coach with the Falcons for the last two seasons. He replaces Rob Riley, who was told last month that his contract wouldn't be renewed. . . .
Scott Beattie, the associate coach with the Tri-City Americans, has resigned in order to become head coach of EHC Olten of Switzerland's National League B. Beattie spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Kootenay Ice before joining the Americans prior to the 2010-11 season. Prior to that, he spent three seasons as GM/head coach of the junior B Kimberley Dynamiters. Beattie and Americans head coach Jim Hiller had been linemates as Northern Michigan won the NCAA title in 1990-91. . . . Beattie later played in Europe for 13 seasons.

All to play for in evenly matched Laois IFC semi-finals
Both Portlaoise and Rosenallis are in action this Saturday.
This Saturday afternoon sees the Laois IFC semi-finals take place in O'Moore Park, as four evenly matched teams battle it out for a place in the final in two weeks time.
Courtwood v Portlaoise @ 4.30pm
With a steady stream of exciting young players emerging from the St Paul's underage setup, Courtwood announced their arrival as a serious force at this level in Round 1.
They recorded an impressive win over pre-championship favourites Mountmellick Gaels, and have since followed it up with a one-sided win over Timahoe. Coupled with their ACFL Division 2 success, it has been a very positive season so far for Courtwood.
Portlaoise, perennially competitive at this level, looked awful in their opening game against Rosenallis. They were comprehensively played off the field that day, but have since welcomed a handful of players back into the fold. Training with the clubs senior team is a huge bonus as well, and when everyone is available, they are a strong side.
However, a confident young Courtwood side will take some stopping, and Portlaoise's sluggish start to the competition may leave them with too much improving to do to get the better of them here.
Verdict: Courtwood
Rosenallis v Mountmellick Gaels @ 6pm
Since being shocked by Courtwood in the opening round, Mountmellick Gaels have righted the ship with some one-sided victories. The last of those, a landslide win over local rivals The Rock, has set up another derby, against Rosenallis.
One thing for sure is that Rosenallis will offer much stiffer opposition than The Rock managed. After a comfortable win over Portlaoise in Round 1, they accounted for The Rock, and now must produce their best performance of the season against Mountmellick Gaels.
Colm Poole is in good form up front, Donal Lalor offers another threat and Eoin Dunne is playing might stuff at midfield.
Mountmellick Gaels, meanwhile, are running up big tallies in their games, with Niall Mullen leading the way. Colm Coss is an incredibly strong player at this level and their supplement of Castletown players adds depth to the squad.
While Rosenallis are a good, solid and dangerous side, Mountmellick Gaels have too much strength across the field, and that should set them up for a place in the final.
Verdict: Mountmellick Gaels

Huawei Y9 Review, Price, Specs – Camera, AI, Action!
The launch of the Huawei Y9 (2019) came with a lot of buzz, thanks to the much-taunted AI cameras alongside a beautiful design and very friendly price. After spending quality time with the phone, I am ready to tell you whether there's substance or it's all just noise.
To start us off, we shall be looking at the design and my sentiments have not changed, the Huawei Y9 is a beauty. My review unit is sapphire blue colour and it attracts the right attention wherever I go with it. The device is made entirely of plastic, which is a bummer but costs had to be cut somewhere, however, despite the choice of material, the back of the phone is shiny as ever which means it will reflect light, hog smudges and gather scratches just as easily as a glass phone and that's what we love, don't we?
This phone is huge, that's no secret. However, to aid with handling, the back has been slightly curved, thus making the kinda-huge phone more comfortable to hold. Also as a mitigation, Huawei does include a free case in the box to keep your device feeling new and rubbery, all the while offering some level of protection.
Switch things up to the front and you are met with a big 6.5-inch full HD display with a notch. This must-have feature is what houses the front cameras and other sensors. To add on to the aesthetics, the display has rounded edges. I am happy to report that it gets dim enough in low light, which has been a problem with so many devices and also gets bright enough in direct sunlight, although you might notice colours looking more washed out the brighter the display gets.
On the software end, we get Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.2 on top. EMUI has come a long way and it is no longer the eyesore it used to be. For instance, despite lacking an app drawer out of the box, it can be enabled from within the settings. On top of this, EMUI now has a couple of features such as a blue light filter, ability to turn your phone into a wifi extender through wifi bridge, changing the screen resolution to save battery, screenshot gestures and even built-in app lock.
When it comes to performance, the Huawei Y9 (2019) is powered by a Kirin 710 processor and 4GB of RAM that do an excellent job at keeping everything running smooth. There's 64GB of onboard storage which is also expandable via MicroSD. Additionally, the device does support Dual 4G standby, with the option of having VoLTE enabled on both SIM cards. There's a fingerprint scanner on the back complemented by the standard face unlock.
With a 4000mAh battery, on average, I managed to push the Huawei Y9 to over 9 hours screen-on time, occasionally getting over 10 hours. This is with wifi usage, location always on and brightness on auto. Switching to a full day of mobile data usage, the battery stats would show around 8 hours of screen-on time.
The AI camera on the Y9 has become the order of the day. What this is means, is that the Y9 automatically recognizes a scene and in turn automatically adjusts the settings on the camera to bring out the best image possible. This hyped software enhancement rides on a dual camera setup on the back, of a 16MP lens and a second 2MP lens for depth sensing. The front has a similar setup, with a 13MP lens and a second 2MP lens for depth sensing.
Even roses have thorns and the most prickling of all is the lack of fast charging. With such a huge battery, Huawei should have considered at least having some form of fast charging, but since this was one of the shortcuts made, it will take you a little over two hours to charge from 0 to 100.
Another pain point is the speaker on this device. There's only one bottom-firing speaker and it has no power. Yes, there's an app that lets you use other Huawei Y9s as extra speakers for some sort of "party" but how often will you have Y9s around?
One last thing, that USB port. Dear Huawei, could we please have USB-C across all your devices? The device has 2019 in its name yet it has a port older than myself. Come on Huawei. Anyway, buying the Huawei Y9 (2019) will be a good investment as the good outweighs the bad.

The Making of the Pakistani Bomb
Security Studies / Proliferation and WMD
Security Studies / Asian Security
Security Studies / Middle East Security
The history of Pakistan's nuclear program is the history of Pakistan. Fascinated with the new nuclear science, the young nation's leaders launched a nuclear energy program in 1956 and consciously interwove nuclear developments into the broader narrative of Pakistani nationalism. Then, impelled first by the 1965 and 1971 India-Pakistan Wars, and more urgently by India's first nuclear weapon test in 1974, Pakistani senior officials tapped into the country's pool of young nuclear scientists and engineers and molded them into a motivated cadre committed to building the 'ultimate weapon.' The tenacity of this group and the central place of its mission in Pakistan's national identity allowed the program to outlast the perennial political crises of the next 20 years, culminating in the test of a nuclear device in 1998.
Written by a 30-year professional in the Pakistani Army who played a senior role formulating and advocating Pakistan's security policy on nuclear and conventional arms control, this book tells the compelling story of how and why Pakistan's government, scientists, and military, persevered in the face of a wide array of obstacles to acquire nuclear weapons. It lays out the conditions that sparked the shift from a peaceful quest to acquire nuclear energy into a full-fledged weapons program, details how the nuclear program was organized, reveals the role played by outside powers in nuclear decisions, and explains how Pakistani scientists overcome the many technical hurdles they encountered. Thanks to General Khan's unique insider perspective, it unveils and unravels the fascinating and turbulent interplay of personalities and organizations that took place and reveals how international opposition to the program only made it an even more significant issue of national resolve.
Listen to a podcast of a related presentation by Feroz Khan at the Stanford Center for International Security and Cooperation.
Brigadier General (retired) Feroz Khan is a lecturer in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey. He served with the Pakistani Army for 30 years, most recently as Director, Arms Control and Disarmament Affairs, within the Strategic Plans Division, Joint Services Headquarters, and has represented Pakistan in several multilateral and bilateral arms control negotiations.
General Khan has been a visiting scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and has held fellowships at Stanford University's Center for International Studies and Cooperation, the Brookings Institution, the Center for Non-Proliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and the Cooperative Monitoring Center, Sandia National Laboratory. He has also taught as visiting faculty at the Department of the Defense and Strategic Studies, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad.
"Feroz Hassan Khan's book Eating Grass: The Making of the Pakistani Bomb is a comprehensive description of Pakistan's campaign to develop its nuclear weapons . . . Eating Grass is in a class by itself because it is written by an author who served as director of arms control and disarmament affairs in the Strategic Plans Division of the Joint Services Headquarters of Pakistan . . . Khan brings to his book considerable experience not only as a scholar of the subject of nuclear nonproliferation but also as a practitioner of nuclear diplomacy."
—Ehsan M. Ahrari, Mediterranean Quarterly
"Comprehensive, detailed, and written with military precision and objectivity, Eating Grass: The Making of the Pakistani Bomb is an elegantly crafted and engaging history of the Pakistani efforts to obtain the atomic bomb that will become a reference work in the study of Pakistan and its nation-defining relationship with the nuclear program."
—Vladimir Rauta, Review of Politics
"Eating Grass will become the authoritative volume on Pakistan's nuclear trajectory, from its uncertain beginnings to Pakistan's present development of tactical nuclear weapons . . . [T]his is the best volume we have."
—Shashank Joshi, RUSI Journal
"In this important and impressive new work, Khan traces the development of Pakistan's nuclear-weapons program from partition to the present . . . Khan succeeds admirably in sifting through published accounts and weaving in details and anecdotes from his numerous interviews with key participants."
—Frank Klotz, The National Interest
"Feroz Khan, a retired Pakistan Army general who served as Director of the Strategic Plan Division, Pakistan's nuclear security apparatus, has written the first comprehensive insider account of the Pakistani nuclear weapons program . . . Framed as a story of indigenous triumph, Eating Grass nonetheless also serves as a history of the failure of non-proliferation regimes—or as a how-to guide for how to evade them."
—Timothy Nunan, The Sunday Guardian
"Eating Grass: The Making of the Pakistani Bomb, uses primary source material and personal interviews to explain and analyze the genesis of Pakistan's nuclear program. Understanding Pakistan's nuclear development is not only important for Pakistan scholars but also for nuclear analysts more broadly. Nuclear scholars are working with an incredibly small sample of nine nuclear states, so gaining a robust understanding of each nation's path to the bomb is essential. General Khan discussed a wide range of issues as an introduction to his book's more comprehensive analysis."
—Sarah Wiener, CSIS
"Khan provides a comprehensive history of Pakistan's nuclear program. . . . Khan explains the reasons behind Pakistan's dogged pursuit of nuclear deterrence, including why it was willing to pay any price to achieve nuclear capability. . . . Recommended."
—A. Mazumdar, CHOICE
"Eating Grass fills a big gap in the scholarly literature. Feroz Khan's book about Pakistan's nuclear program takes its place beside the authoritative volumes on U.S., Soviet, Chinese, Indian, and Israeli nuclear histories. Going beyond the headlines, Khan provides unique insights into the political, technical and strategic issues behind the untold story of Pakistan's bomb. Essential reading for anyone interested in nuclear history, proliferation, or South Asian security."
—Zachary S. Davis, Center for Global Security Research, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
"A tour de force—masterful, meticulously researched. Feroz Khan combines insights from Pakistani insiders and declassified U.S. sources to tell the most authoritative story of Pakistan's 50-year pursuit of the bomb and, with it, international respect."
—Siegfried S Hecker, Center for International Security and Cooperation, Stanford University, and Director Emeritus, Los Alamos National Laboratory
"Feroz Hassan Khan has written the seminal study of the creation, development, and expansion of the world's fastest growing nuclear weapons complex. His use of source material heretofore unexplored or otherwise unavailable—including dozens of exclusive interviews with the scientists, generals, diplomats, and politicians who guided Pakistan's nuclear bomb program—makes Eating Grass a must-read for national security scholars and practitioners alike."
—Peter R. Lavoy, national security practitioner
"Drawing on primary and secondary sources, his own experiences, and numerous interviews with decision-makers and former scientists who were intimately involved in the program, Khan recapitulates Pakistan's nuclear journey. He analyzes key decisions by its leaders that shaped the trajectory of Pakistan's strategic capabilities and its foreign relations, bureaucratic disputes over the program, and competition between actors in the scientific community trying to put their individual stamp on the bomb."

Josep Costa Ferrer (Eivissa, 7 de juny del 1876 - Palma, 9 de desembre del 1971) va ser dibuixant i caricaturista amb el pseudònim Picarol. També va exercir d'antiquari i d'arqueòleg aficionat.

Biografia
De ben jove (1888), la seva família es va traslladar a Palma, on en Josep va començar estudiar a l'Escola de Belles Arts. Vuit anys més tard, juntament amb la seva família s'instal·là a Barcelona, on va abandonar els seus estudis d'arquitectura i començà a publicar caricatures i dibuixos polítics i socials d'un fort contingut irònic i satíric a les principals revistes il·lustrades: Cu-cut!, La Tomasa, El Rector de Vallfogona, La Rambla; es distingí sobretot pels seus treballs a L'Esquella de la Torratxa i a La Campana de Gràcia, dues de les principals revistes humorístiques barcelonines, on col·laborà durant més de trenta anys. Durant la seva carrera utilitzà diversos pseudònims, com Caray d'H i Sancho, però fou el de Picarol amb què aconseguí més gran popularitat. Tertulià en els Quatre Gats, hi conegué Picasso, Nonell, Mir, Opisso, Eugeni d'Ors, Ramon Casas i especialment Santiago Rusiñol, amb qui l'uní una amistat duradora; Costa fou el 1913 el creador gràfic del personatge de "El senyor Esteve", que es caracteritzà per l'allargat barret de copa i les ulleres fosques, i que utilitzà per fer humor crític i satíric. Durant la Primera Guerra Mundial, publicà el llibre anti-germànic Kultur antología bárbara de los tiempos modernos (1915), amb text de Rusiñol i caricatures de Costa. Participà en el Saló d'Humoristes del 1916 i publicà també a l'estranger, en revistes com L'Asino de Roma o Frivolidad, de Mèxic, entre altres. S'afeccionà a l'arqueologia i entre 1912 i 1916 engegà diverses excavacions a les Illes Balears.

El 1928 s'instal·là definitivament a Mallorca i hi obrí les Galeries Costa, punt de trobada dels artistes de les Pitïuses. Sense deixar de dibuixar, col·laborà amb articles i il·lustracions en periòdics illencs com lHeraldo de Ibiza, Diario de Ibiza, El Día, La Nostra Terra i Baleares. Dissenyà els plànols de i promogué la urbanizació Cala d'Hort, a Mallorca, que després esdevindria Cala d'Or, a Santanyí. Fou autor i editor d'una col·lecció de guies turístiques de Mallorca i les Pitiüses en diversos idiomes (Guías Costa), les primeres que s'hi editaren; el primer volum, Mallorca, ixqué el 1929. També publicà la col·lecció La pintura mallorquina en el siglo XIX.

El seu nebot, Bartomeu Costa-Amic, esdevingué un dels editors més prolífics de l'exili mexicà.

Després de la seva mort rebé l'homenatge de les institucions de les illes (Ajuntament d'Eivissa, 1992, Arxiu Històric Municipal, 1996). des del 1981 i fins al 1998?, el Cercle de Belles Arts convoca el Premi de dibuix José Costa Ferrer "Picarol" a Palma. La historiadora Sonya Torres i Planells li dedicà la tesi doctoral en vint-i-vuit volums, que compendià en el volum "Josep Costa i Ferrer, Picarol: Un dibuixant eivissenc i el seu temps". El 2005, el Consell de Mallorca concedí a en Costa la seva Medalla d'Or.

L'Arxiu Històric d'Eivissa i Formentera (AHEiF) conserva dues col·leccions de caricatures de Picarol i el 1992 va organitzar la primera exposició d'aquest fons i sobre la seua figura i obra i va publicar el catàleg i el buidat de premsa que va servir per posteriors treballs d'investigaciò. Les restes arqueològiques que desenterrà es guarden al Museu Arqueològic de Barcelona, al Museu de Valldemossa i al Museu Arqueològic d'Eivissa.

Fons documental a l'Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona
L'Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona (AHCB) conserva en els seus fons un nombre important de dibuixos originals de Josep Costa Ferrer, Picarol. Com és ben conegut, Picarol fou un caricaturista molt actiu a dues de les publicacions satíriques catalanes més emblemàtiques: La Campana de Gràcia i L'Esquella de la Torratxa. Dels dibuixos apareguts a la primera, l'AHCB custodia 818 originals que foren publicats entre 1903 i 1930, i dels publicats a la segona, en són 2.748 els originals de Picarol.

La col·lecció de dibuixos dipositats a l'AHCB que en el seu moment aparegueren publicats a La Campana de Gràcia i a L'Esquella de la Torratxa, sumen un total de 8.519 originals.

AU allocates 42m vaccine doses to Nigeria, CACOVID donates oxygen
By Our Reporters
Friday Olokor and Leke Baiyewu
Nigeria will soon receive over 42 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines that will cover an estimated 45 per cent of the country's population, the Federal Government said on Monday.
The government said Nigeria subscribed to two multilateral vaccine access platforms; the first being the COVAX facility that will supply members, including Nigeria, vaccines free to cover 20 per cent of the population.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, said these in Abuja during the weekly press briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
He said, "We subscribed to two multilateral vaccine access platforms; the first being the COVAX facility that will supply members, including Nigeria, vaccines free of charge, to cover 20 per cent of our population.
"There has since been a change that now offers Nigeria 16 million vaccine doses in the first half of the year. The other multilateral platform is the African Union AVATT platform, the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team, chaired by the President of South Africa, Mr. Ramaphosa.
"AVATT has acquired 300 million doses of three types of vaccines which have been offered to African countries, based on population, such that no country is left behind.
"Nigeria subscribes to this whole-of-Africa approach that strives to ensure that we are safe and our neighbours are safe. We shall be offered over 42 million doses by AVATT. If all the projected vaccines are supplied, we estimate we should have covered over 45 per cent of the population."
Ehanire said in addition to the proposed sources, Nigeria has had bilateral negotiations with Gamaleya of Russia over their Sputnik V vaccine, which they were willing to supply to Nigeria, adding that the Russian vaccine had an efficacy of 91 per cent.
12 states get 1000 CACOVID cylinders, oxygen
Meanwhile, the PTF has commenced the distribution of 1,000 oxygen cylinders donated by the private sector Coalition Against COVID-19 for treatment of patients with severe cases.
The National Incident Manager, PTF, Dr Mukhtar Muhammad, who made this known at the briefing, said the cylinders would be shared to 12 states with the highest number of hospitalised patients.
He said, "The CACOVID is distributing oxygen cylinders as well as regulators and flow meters. About 1,000 cylinders will be distributed to 12 states. These are 12 high-burden states based on hospitalisation.
"The states include Enugu, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kwara, Kano, Edo, Kaduna, Anambra, Ogun, Oyo, Borno and Rivers."
PTF publishes second list of 100 on travel ban today
Muhammad also announced that the second batch of international passengers who arrived in the country and breached the COVID-19 protocol would be published on Tuesday (today).
Muhammad said, "The PTF will be publishing the list of 100 passengers who have violated the COVID-19 protocol tomorrow (today). This list has been submitted to the Nigerian Immigration Service and will be available in newspapers tomorrow (today)."
13 cases of UK COVID-19 variant detected in Nigeria
Also, the Chairman of PTF, Boss Mustapha, disclosed that 13 cases of the United Kingdom strain of the virus known as B117 have so far been detected in Nigeria.
Mustapha, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said, "The PTF (through the NCDC) is working with the Africa CDC on genomic surveillance.
"A total of 13 B117 variant strain have so far been detected in Nigeria. Six out of these numbers were detected in the last one week and they all came out of samples collected between November and January."
FG seals Abuja laboratory for issuing fake COVID-19 results
In a related development, the Director-General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Chikwe Ihekweazu, said the Federal Government sealed of an Abuja-based laboratory for issuing fake COVID-19 results to international travellers.
He said the development followed an investigation conducted by the government after a media report last year revealed underhand dealings of some laboratories issuing fake results.
Recall that an online newspaper, The Cable, had in an undercover story in December 2020, reported that for N25,000, travellers were getting fake COVID-19 test results.
Ihekweazu said based on that report, an investigation was conducted and the affected laboratory was sealed with the assistance of the Federal Capital Territory Authority.
Again, FG shifts date of National Sports Festival
Meanwhile, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Sunday Dare, has announced that the date for the 20th National Sports Festival scheduled to hold in Benin City has again been changed.
He said the date change was necessitated by the virulent nature of the second wave of COVID-19.
The minister said the festival had been shifted to April without mentioning the specific commencement date.
