I can get the name of the vm with the variable: name, but i also need the state to determine if the vm is running and guest.guestState returned undefined.
How can i access those variables?

A: Because the vars has a special character in it that jinja2 normally reserves for member access, you'll need to use the dict key syntax for that var:

FinTech, or Financial Technology, entails new technologies and innovations that aim to compete with traditional financial methods in the delivery of financial services. The term FinTech has spread rapidly across the world in recent years, and while the impact of FinTech is wide ranging and varied, FinTech products and startups are putting pressure on traditional financial institutions. Examples include non-banks enabling more efficient payments; crowdfunding by local cafés, educational programs, and healthcare providers; financial product offerings for previously "unbanked" individuals in developing countries; and traditional government-backed currencies even being challenged by emerging cryptocurrencies.
Sweden has a long tradition of financial service innovations and more recently the country has generated some FinTech stars that have risen to international acclaim. FinTech startups are being launched at an increasing pace, and the technological disruption that they are generating is enabling end-customers and companies to access new and better financial services.
What are the factors that will likely drive the adoption of FinTech services in the future?
What is the future role of banks in the context of FinTech and digitalization?
How is the regulatory landscape shaping the future of FinTech?
What are the policies and government initiatives that aim to support the FinTech ecosystem in Sweden?
This book is the fourth research deliverable from the three-year research project, The Internet and its Direct and Indirect Effects on Innovation and the Swedish Economy under the leadership of Robin Teigland, Professor at the Stockholm School of Economics, and is funded by The Internet Foundation in Sweden (Internetstiftelsen i Sverige, IIS) and the Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MWF). Currently, the project is working on a new book project with the tentative title, The Digital Disruption of Public Services: An Investigative Study of the Societal Impact in Sweden and Beyond, with an expected publication date in early 2019.

Mama Pēpe Tamariki Ora nurse, Romane Stockman is relatively new to Tui Ora and new to nursing. Graduating as a registered nurse in 2015 the Okato born and bred nurse joined Tui Ora in 2016.
At Tui Ora, she is part of a team that visits clients in their own homes performing WellChild checks for tamariki, aged five and under.
WellChild checks are a series of free health visits that start at six weeks and cover everything from monitoring a child's growth and development, to offering advice on breastfeeding and baby's nutrition and sleeping.
As children approach school-age, B4 school checks are carried out to test hearing and vision. The team also provide childhood immunisations, often in a client's own home.
Romane worked alongside a colleague in her first weeks before she took on her own clients. She visits whānau across a geographical area that spreads from Fitzroy and Glen Avon in New Plymouth, through to Bell Block and as far as Lepperton and Brixton in North Taranaki.
A typical day starts in the office but Romane and her colleagues are usually on the road by 10am.
"On any given day I visit between three and five families. We are there to see the children but it's often the mums or other members of the whānau who require support.
Romane says some of the biggest challenges are recognising when a mother is suffering from post-natal depression or domestic abuse, and then getting them the help they require.
Romane has nursing in her blood, her grandmother and her aunt were both nurses, but it took a few false starts, including studying to be an electrical engineer before Romane followed the calling.
The Tui Ora team works alongside Plunket colleagues to ensure all whānau receive WellChild checks, care and support.


Affect and Social Behavior provides the first integrative and comprehensive examination of current research and theory into the role that emotion plays in influencing social behavior. The past twenty years has seen a resurgence of scientific interest in how everyday responses to the social world may be influenced by very subtle shifts in affect. What we remember and what we pay attention to have been shown to be the product of our mood state. This new volume investigates a number of important domains such as aggression, altruism, romantic attraction, and consumer behavior and the role that affect plays in instigating and regulating these behaviors. The chapters were written by some of the most prominent researchers in the field and they provide an up-to-date review of research and theory in this important area of study.

Violent CHOP Goes Down, But the Media Told Us It Was a Fun 'Street Festival!'
July 2nd, 2020 10:20 AM
After five shootings and two deaths in the last three weeks, the CHOP zone was finally taken down by Seattle authorities on Wednesday. But if it were up to the lefty news media, that zone and other protest areas in big cities would probably still be up and running as they brazenly attempted to soft-sell them as fun "street fairs" full of messages of "peace and community."
The following is a look at some of the more absurd attempts by lib reporters to portray the protest zones as peaceful fun-filled "street festivals."
"A Street Fair?" Sounds Like Fun! Bring the Kids!
"After multiple nights of violent clashes, police in a show of de-escalating tensions in the Capitol Hill district boarded up their station and left. Now the area called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, is controlled by mostly peaceful protesters....The autonomous zone has turned into an almost street fair-like atmosphere with free food, art displays, and outdoor movie nights. But there have been some reports of armed people patrolling the street in lieu of police."
— Correspondent Anna Werner on CBS This Morning, June 12.
The "Real Story" of "Peace and Community"
Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard: "You had very peaceful week here on these streets....I think it's important to note, Stephanie, this is not some hostile takeover....It's a lot of folks doing their part to put out a set of demands they want to see....Not just on criminal justice issues but also education, health care, economic issues here....What you saw here over the weekend were thousands coming in to spread that message. Stephanie?"
Host Stephanie Ruhle: "That message of peace and community. Vaughn, thank you so much. It's so important to have you there showing us the real story."
— MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle, June 15.
Even the Protesters Won't Accept the Soft-Selling of a "Street Festival"
Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard: "After more than a week of clashes between the demonstrators and the police, now you see almost like a street festival-type atmosphere, a street-festival type atmosphere....with a very intentional purpose."...
Unidentified protester: "It is not a street festival! Do not say that! Shame on you for saying that!"
— MSNBC Live, June 13.
"Couches In the Middle of the Road" Sound So Inviting and Fun
"This particular neighborhood where this six-block radius has become this so-called autonomous zone, is very much a — has its own life within itself. And over these last nights, you've had thousands of folks walk through. When you're going through, it's more like a pedestrian street festival of sorts. You have folks — these restaurants are open, there's couches in the middle of the road, there's gardening taking place."
— Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard on MSNBC Live, June 12.

Anguil Environmental Systems received a request to quote an oxidizer and packed tower air stripper to treat a 65 gallon per minute water stream containing significant concentrations of Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and some Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The customer's overall project goals were to reduce facility emissions, ideally to zero, as well as minimize the maintenance activities they were conducting on their cooling tower heat exchangers due to fouling from the process water.
Application engineers at Anguil determined that a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) would meet the customer's needs but were skeptical that the air stripper would function properly given the customer supplied water characteristics. Anguil Aqua was engaged to evaluate the water stream for the air stripping application. Their review of the supplied water analysis indicated that concentrations of heavier organics Diesel Range Organics (naphthalene and higher) were beyond their solubility limits. Hence, the presence of free product in this water stream would quickly cause any air stripper to foul, detrimentally impacting stripping performance and potentially creating a safety hazard. Anguil Aqua recommended that the customer evaluate oil/water separation and emulsion breaking to remove and potentially recover the free product prior to entering the air stripper.
Using water samples, an initial bench evaluation of oil/water separation was conducted. Upon receiving the samples, Anguil realized that either the supplied water analysis had been done incorrectly or that the water samples received were not characteristic of the analysis since the presence of free product was not observed. The emulsion breaking tests were performed anyway, predictably meeting with little success. In addition to the emulsion breaking tests, Anguil attempted to coagulate the water to determine if this approach would be suitable and determined that this method had merit.
Based on results from the initial separation study, Anguil recommended two courses of action. First, the customer would re-perform their analytical analysis on the water which was to be treated using suggested EPA test methods to improve confidence in the treatment design requirements. Secondly, Anguil suggested that a two stage pilot study be conducted. For Stage 1, Anguil representatives would perform treatability studies on site via jar testing. Based on the results obtained from Stage 1, Anguil engineers would perform a full scale, onsite pilot with the appropriate equipment for Stage 2.
Stage 1 Anguil representatives traveled to the site and performed jar tests directly with the process water in question. Since the process water is at a temperature of 110-120 oF, it was advantageous to work with the process directly rather than trying to use samples which have cooled during shipment to the lab possibly compromising the process characteristics. After a number of trials, they successfully determined that the water could be coagulated by raising the pH from 4 to 8.5, utilizing a poly aluminum chloride (PAC) based coagulant blend and a standard polymer. After coagulation and filtration, color, turbidity and solids content were reduced. Anguil then sent out the untreated and treated water for analysis to determine the overall effectiveness of the process. The results were promising and the customer elected to move forward with Stage 2 of the pilot study.
Stage 2 Based on the site constraints and treatment goals, Anguil modified its custom pilot clarification system to perform the second stage of the study. Equipment arrived onsite, unloaded and placed within the facility. A generator was rented since the facility could not easily supply the required power. Anguil then proceeded to unpack and plumb the pilot system into the existing process piping.
Once everything was set-up, pumps primed and running, the operator filled the tank with process water and began processing using the chemical formula determined in Stage 1: Raise pH > 8.5 using 50% caustic solution, add 300 ppm coagulant, add 1 ppm polymer. As expected, the clarifier influent demonstrated a good floc which quickly began to settle to the bottom of the clarification tank. With continued processing, clarity improvements in the clarification tank became noticeable as submerged parts of the tank became visible as the initial dirty water was displaced by the coagulated and clarified water. Water samples pulled from the clarifier effluent were obviously cleaner than the raw process water, and with continued processing acceptable clarity was achieved.
After successfully demonstrating the clarification process, treated samples were pulled and tested using the same test protocol used in Stage 1. In addition, a sludge sample was sent for benzene analysis in order to determine if the sludge would be considered hazardous. Sludge production rates were quantified by coagulating, flocculating and filtering specific volumes of process water. Filtered samples were wrung dry and air dried for several days. Wet and dried samples were weighed.
The qualitative and quantitative results met the customer's expectations and treatment goals. The chemical coagulation protocol and clarifier in this pilot work were able achieve a DRO reduction of 85% or greater and an 80% reduction in TSS. Since Anguil was proposing a ballasted floc system for the final treatment system to handle the design flow rate of 65 GPM, another set of samples was taken for ballasted floc testing which achieved similar DRO removal rates but improved on the TSS reduction to less than 1 NTU. After reviewing the sludge production rates and potential hazardous classification for the sludge, the customer asked Anguil to recommend a sludge dewatering system. Further, after reviewing the treatment system capabilities and facility requirements, Anguil recommended removing the air stripper and oxidizer from the scope of supply as it was determined that removing the heaviest organics would solve the facilities heat exchanger fouling problems, and the limited VOC loading did not justify the use of an oxidizer.
Anguil was able to guide the customer through the equipment design and selection process by identifying and rectifying short comings in the analytical data, avoiding time and cost specifying and designing equipment which would not address the customer's project goals. Ultimately, the main benefit of Anguil Aqua was determining a solution which did meet the customer's objectives despite the fact that the selected solution differed greatly from the original request. Onsite jar and pilot tests allowed the customer to become educated and familiar with the treatment process while understanding the benefits, capabilities and trade-offs of the proposed system. Further, being on site allowed Anguil to really understand the customer's needs and process, allowing them to identify customer process variables which could potentially affect treatment system performance and provide seamless integration of the new treatment system into the existing process.

Q: Find $2\times3$ matrix $A$ based on two equations Find $2\times3$ matrix $A$ based on the following two equations:
\begin{align}
A[1,0,1]^T &= [2,8]^T;\\
A[1,1,1]^T &= [6,3]^T.
\end{align}
Well I know that those $[1,0,1]^T,[1,1,1]^T$ are linearly independent. And I assume I can see that question as a linear transformation from $R^3$ to $R^2$.
And I believe too that if I write $A = \begin{pmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\end{pmatrix}$ I will solve it.
Edit: Just found $b,e$ didn't succeed finding the others yet.
What do you think?

A: $A(1,1,1)=(6,3)$ and $A(1,0,1)=(2,8)$
This says $A(0,1,0)=(4,-5)$
For writing  a $2\times 3$ matrix you need three independent vector images.. You have only two...
You have $A(1,0,1)=(2,8)$.. Randomly set that $A(1,0,0)=(1,4)$ and $A(0,0,1)=(1,4)$ then you have
$$A=\begin{bmatrix}1&4&1\\4&-5&4\end{bmatrix}$$

"Can your heart dance?"A Chinese Classical Dancer Speaks Out
3 years ago simone
Xiao Jiaqi has toured the world with the world-class dance group Shen Yun Art Troupe USA since 2009. In an exclusive interview, she recounts her experiences with the dance group and expresses how it has been an irreplaceable time in her life.
Principle dancer for Shen Yun Xiao Jiaqi
Dancers of Shen Yun have non-stop rehearsals for months on end and engage in many tours globally. Xiao said she rarely has a break. A tight schedule year after year keeps the artist on her toes and without a will of steel, it would seem difficult to endure.
However, she does not consider it too hard and considers herself very fortunate to be part of She Yun.
Shen Yun Art Troupe is committed to reviving the 5,000 years of the semi-divine culture from China. Through their genuinely good performances, the dancers are able to lead the audiences to appreciate the glorious years of Ancient China.
Xiao Jiaqi and the other performers dance in beautiful and delicate garments of silk in rich hues and ornate headdresses from various dynasties and ethnicities.
Female dancers display the ancient Chinese virtues of modesty, prettiness, and grace. Even when offstage, Xiao's sweet smile reflects the beauty and purity of the young girls' and ladies of ancient times
Beauty stems from the mind
Dancers on the Shenyun stage vividly convey the delicate grace and charm of ancient Chinese women. The costumes and legends bring out the uniqueness of each Dynasty. Xiao has taken this definition of beauty to heart. "When we dance, elegance is revealed naturally. I think, first of all, one must enrich the inner self," she said.
Xiao Jiaqi's stills in the performances of "Shen Yun" and "Central Plains Han Li".
Chinese classical dance is closely connected to the ancient spiritual culture and civilization. In those days, people cultivated their character and exercised strict self-discipline. These cultivation disciplines were reflected in different aspects of their lives.
Many of the literati's classic manuscripts prompt the younger generations to realize that when reading their books it is like seeing the person in real life. The emotions and philosophies in the writings correspond to the characters' personalities. If literary works can do this, the art of dance can most definitely convey inner truths using the body.
The lovely Xiao Jiaqui
Xiao said, "As a dancer, if you can cultivate a rich character, you would be able to create purer performances and communicate that message to the audience. This is also closely related to an advanced technique called "body rhyme" in Chinese classical dance training. Shen Yun's official website explains it well, "The body rhyme emphasizes the spirit, breath, intention, personal temperament, and depth of expression. The warmth of Chinese classical dance comes from mastering "body rhyme. "The body rhyme of Chinese classical dance is an outer display of an "inner" dance."
"It's not a question of hiding," Xiao explained. "Classical Chinese dance doesn't hide anything. One's personality is revealed through the dance. Touching people's feelings with an impressibility that comes from within can melt people's hearts."
Therefore, in the process of improving her dance skills, in addition to working hard on skills, Xiao has realized many things, improving her mood as she perfects her art.
"Sometimes I'm worried about how others see me, and my performance will have some limitations. For instance, I am afraid to fully express myself." Xiao said that in the past, she paid too much attention to how other people saw her. She also shared some of her recent revelations. Xiao said, "I am too afraid to make mistakes. Sometimes I believe that others think that I am not good enough. In fact, I have realized that it is best to not be afraid of oneself. One should be confident enough to show what you are to others."
She found that negative emotions such as fear and worry are unnecessary because she figured that the moment she steps on stage she has already revealed herself. "Only if you aren't afraid to make mistakes, will you will learn more." Thus Xiao learned to overcome her fears and face herself which enables her to always try to put her best foot forward. All Xiao really wants to do is be true to herself and others.
Another obstacle that prevented her from progressing faster, was admitting her mistakes.
During practice, a video is recorded to help correct movements. At first, she didn't want to see herself in the film. Then she thought, "What I should do is to acknowledge where I go wrong and then correct it. There is no limit to learning. Only when you face yourself with all your flaws can you move forward.
Xiao believes that it is good to be humble at all times. "You will learn and get to know more if you admit that you don't know."
In the 2016 New Tang Dynasty Chinese Dance Dance Competition, Xiao Jiaqi danced the role of the famous and virtuous queen, Cai Wenji of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although Xiao Jiaqi emigrated from China to Canada with her family when she was only a child, her connection with Eastern culture remained uninterrupted. Her Grandpa often tells Chinese Myths and legends, and she has been aware of ancient culture since early childhood. Even though she was schooled in the West, she never lost her Chinese roots. Xiao wanted to enter the Feitian Academy of Arts to study Chinese classical dance. Its been just over 10 years of dancing with the Feitian Acadamy, she has developed an even deeper connection with Ancient Chinese culture.
Today, as a principal dancer, Xiao yearns to refine herself. She recalled that she had the honor to dance the role of Bodhisattva Guanyin. She realized that it was an excellent opportunity to improve herself and cultivate kindness and compassion in her daily life.
Xiao's greatest hope is to become more confident and open-minded with a noble attitude. Perhaps, because, of the fact that most of the people Xiao loves and admires have the qualities she would like to have. She really appreciates the golden era of the Tang Dynasty. Xiao adores the chicness of Li Bai's poetry. The wisdom of the well-known poet Cao Cao's famous works is something Xiao really admires. Learning to appreciate these broadminded people and their work and everything they stood for not only expands her horizons but also inspires her, Xiao shared.
Cherish the opportunities without regrets
"People are always thinking: what is the meaning of life and what to do when they grow up?" She said she was lucky that she had Shen Yun to help her find her mission in life. "I think I'm especially lucky to be able to be a part of such an important dance group from a fairly young age. "Shen Yun portrays the quintessence of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Traditional culture is important because one can learn from history. Everything is repetitive and allowing the audience to experience the meaning and significance of the performance is very comforting.
"I also like the feeling on the stage among the dancers. After seeing the audience when the curtain rises, it feels like I am connecting with them."
During tours, Xiao admitted that this kind of "connecting" feeling is an important motivation. Xiao said she may feel tired, but when she thinks about that feeling after the opening, she is inspired to cherish every performance opportunity. This kind of mindset encourages her to do her best for the audience and accompanies her through all of her stage life of more than ten years.
After Xiao shared her thoughts and thoughts on the road with Xi Wu, we realized how precious the beauty that Shen Yun has continued to bring to audiences. Those precise dance steps, exquisite skills, tender expressions, and unforgettable feelings are all made by every Shen Yun artist step by step through meticulous tempering, day and night as they spur each other on. After a grueling ten years of training, there is nothing more worthwhile for everyone in Shen Yun to see the audience smiling faces.

When I left Instagram and Facebook, I felt that I got my life back. I believe it was by far one of the best decisions that i made in my life, to be quite honest.
It got to a point to where I allowed the likes to dictate my overall worth and value in the world, subconsciously.
Instead of just reaching out and asking how the person is doing, I could easily just see how the person is doing without even having to talk to them, like a stalker!!
I got caught up in viewing other people's lives and how cool their lives were instead of living my own life and doing what I like to do, which is write.
Writing is completely the exact opposite of what my friends and family are doing. Most of them don't even know i write. Shhhh!!
I was seeing other people getting married, going on hikes with friends and significant others, seeing successful businesses, millions of followers, getting a bunch of likes, celebrities with instagram models that it almost became depressing instead of liberating.
I was allowing social media dictate my life's work and I was completely wrong.
The moment I let go of Facebook & Instagram, the less energy was zapped away from me. I was able to set more goals for myself, enjoy genuine face to face interactions with people, and also not compare life's value.
Now, I'm not in anyway saying quit Instagram or Facebook. If anything, it might actually help you remember people's birthday. I am saying that if there's anything that zaps your energy to your overall value of life, it might be time to part ways with it.

Jacopo Guarana
1720 Verona – 1808 Venice
Jacopo Guarana lived from a very early age in Venice, where he was apprenticed to Sebastiano Ricci and Giambatista Tiepolo. He became a member of the Venetian painters' guild in 1744 and was admitted to the Accademia di Pittura e Scultura in 1756. Initial large contracts for the Ca' Rezzonico and the Scuola Grande di S. Giovanni Evangelista in the years that followed testify to the great artistic prestige he enjoyed. After a brief sojourn in St. Petersburg, where he executed a ceiling painting in the Winter Palace for Catherine II in 1762, he subsequently became the leading painter of frescoes for the Venetian nobiltà after Tiepolo's departure for Madrid. Guarana's most prominent works include his ceiling paintings in the chiesetta and the banqueting hall of the Doge's Palace, the paintings for the Villa Pisani in Strà and, as his undisputed masterpiece, the illusionist paintings in the music room of the Ospedaletto, which he executed in 1776/77 together with the architectural painter, Agostino Mengozzi Colonna. Other important commissions were to follow, but the fall of the republic proved a dramatic turning-point in Guarana's career, since the aristocracy and the clergy largely ceased to provide work. Hence Guarana spent the last years of his life in straitened circumstances and, following his death in 1808, his name and his fame soon fell into oblivion.

Tax law plays an important role in representing clients in a wide range of business and personal transactions as well as in advocating clients' interests in litigation and before regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. Students who enter fields outside of tax law such as family law, corporate law, real estate development, entertainment law, white collar crime, labor or employment law, trusts and estates, or governmental relations will likely confront tax law issues on a regular basis. Those students who choose tax law as a practice area often find themselves specializing in fields within taxation, such as corporate tax, estate and gift taxation, employee benefits, international tax, nonprofit organizations, state and local tax, taxation of financial instruments, or partnership tax. Each year some students specializing in tax opt to continue their study of taxation after completing their J.D., by enrolling in a graduate LL.M. program immediately following law school or after a few years of legal practice. This overview is designed to give all students at the law school information regarding opportunities in tax law.
In light of the importance of tax law in all areas of practice, all students should consider taking the introductory course, Federal Income Taxation, in their second year of law school. This course provides students with a general overview of the law of taxation, with a focus on the taxation of individuals. The course introduces basic concepts that apply to the taxation of businesses as well as to individuals.
After taking the introductory course, students considering a tax practice should take additional tax law electives, like Corporate Taxation, Taxation of Partnerships & LLCs, and Estate and Gift Taxation. These courses provide students with a broad base of knowledge on which to launch a tax law career. Students considering a practice area outside of tax law, such as corporate law, for example, should take Corporate Taxation. Those considering a practice advising small businesses or real estate joint ventures should take Taxation of Unincorporated Entities. Those with a client group comprised of wealthy individuals and/or family-owned businesses should also take Estate and Gift Taxation. Some students will opt to take all of these courses.
Additional electives in the tax area include Estate Planning, Non-Profit Organizations, and other tax courses offered on an occasional basis by adjunct or visiting professors. Federal Income Taxation should be taken prior to these courses, although not all of these upper level electives have formal prerequisites. We also recommend that students interested in a tax or estate planning practice consider taking Contract Drafting as their Law Skills IV course.
Tax courses are also essential preparation for a practice focused on Estate Planning. Students interested in estate planning should take Wills & Trust, which is an essential introductory course, and consider taking Corporate Taxation, Taxation of Partnerships & LLCs, Estate and Gift Taxation, and Estate Planning, as well as non-tax courses such as Business Planning, Agency and Partnership, Real Estate Transfers and Finance.
A number of courses in other curricular areas are also helpful for students interested in tax law. These courses include Corporate Finance, Corporations, Mergers and Acquisitions, Business Planning, International Business Transactions, Employment Law, Bankruptcy, Secured Transactions, Agency and Partnership, Intellectual Property Fundamentals, Sales & Leases, Real Estate Transfers and Finance, Antitrust, Wills and Trusts, and Insurance Law.
Students interested in transactional law might consider enrolling in the Intellectual Property & Transactional Law Clinic. This clinic provides students with an opportunity to help start-up corporations form business entities, enter into licensing deals, or conduct other transactions that may involve tax issues.
Students interested in an externship should consider the Internal Revenue Service's Office of Chief Counsel, the United States Bankruptcy Court, or a spring in-house counsel placement with a corporation.
Some law students pursue a joint J.D./M.B.A. degree with the University of Richmond's Robins School of Business. Applicants for the dual degree program must meet the admission standards of the law school and the graduate division of the business school. Students accepted into this program will be permitted to count 12 semester hours of work in the law school toward satisfaction of the degree requirements of the M.B.A. program, and 12 semester hours of work in the M.B.A. program toward satisfaction of the degree requirements of the law school. Accordingly, students can meet the requirements for both degrees in four years.
If you have any questions about the tax and estate planning curriculum at the University of Richmond, please contact Professors Mary Heen or Shari Motro.

Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to continue working with other players for the stability of the global oil market.
Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Head of its Delegation to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Conference, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, gave this assurance in Abuja on Wednesday during a world press conference.
Dr. Kachikwu explained that the 171st meeting of the OPEC Conference held in November 2016exempted Nigeria and Libya from production management agreement reached, following production losses the two OPEC Member Countries suffered in recent times in their respective operational environments.
He added that the 172nd meeting of the Conference held in May 2017 in Vienna,also decided to extend the November agreement and the exemption of Nigeria and Libya, stressing however that since the May meeting, Global Oil Prices have been bearish, with Crude Oil Prices falling from USD 51.24 to USD 44.79 as at 11th July, 2017.
The Minister said these developments had been attributed to a number of factors including increasing shale production in the United States, recovery in oil production in Libya and Nigeria as well as slower Global Economic Growth than earlier anticipated.
Dr. Kachikwu explained that while Nigeria notedthe recovery of its oil production in recent weeks, theupsurges remained fragile, assuring that Nigeria will continue to monitor developments.
Dr. Kachikwu confirmed receiving invitation to the next Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee Meeting of the OPEC and Non-OPEC Accord Countries, scheduled to take place in St Petersburg, Moscow, on 24th July, 2017, but regretted his inability to attend because of a prior commitment to host Ministers of Petroleum of the African Petroleum Producers'Organisation countries on the same day in Abuja.
Dr. Kachikwu assured that Nigeria remained steadfast in its commitment to global oil market stability as it has done in the last forty six (46) years as a member of OPEC and would always be part of the action taken by other OPEC member countries and contribute its quota once its productions status stabilizes.

It's 2019 And Yasir Hussain's HUMOUR Is Still Problematic
Soha AliApril 28, 2019
In a place like Pakistan, you can never run out of problematic guys. But you would expect better from men who are at least educated but uh-huh, nope. And, this time Yasir Hussain seemed to top the charts.
Surprisingly, this isn't the first time Yasir Hussain said something that triggered so many people and rightfully so. However, this time it was a bit more confusing.
Yasir Hussain is set to play the role of a transgender.
From running a talent agency to getting roles in the industry, Yasir knows his way around the media market quite well. Recently, he announced that for his upcoming project he would be playing the role of a transgender in an Eid telefilm for ARY. While he got an appreciation for playing such a role, others were confused as there are enough people in the transgender community who could do a far better job, and as far as the representation goes, who could do better justice than the person who is that? And if any of you were to come at me with rebuttals like they wouldn't be willing, well, we do have a transgendered news anchor and as well as people like Kami Sid who are changing the narrative for their community.
However, all of this is another discussion and we are not as saddened by the misrepresentation but the remark that Yasir Hussain just made.
But before I get into this, I would like to remind you of Yasir's problematic behavior from the past.
For those of you who aren't aware, back in 2017 at the Hum Awards, he made a lewd joke about child molestation and got away with it without anyone batting an eye on him. Despite having an audience of educated and woke celebrities, you could hear a few of them laughing as well.
Last night #HumAwards when Ahsan Khan won for #Udaari, host Yasir Hussain joked "Itna khobsurat child molester, kash main bhi bacha hota"
— M. Jibran Nasir (@MJibranNasir) April 30, 2017
His recent comment was far worse.
When Yasir took to Instagram to tell everyone about his upcoming project, someone asked a pertinent question that could have led to a very important debate regarding representation but instead of realizing the importance of it, Yasir being Yasir chose to pass a transphobic comment.
Yasir hussain is playing a role of transgender in some drama and this guy asked an important question.
and look at the response of this so called educated celebs, why most of them are shit? pic.twitter.com/LZG8jzLIQE
— anastipu (@teepusahab) April 27, 2019
His response is the reason why we DON'T want cisgendered population representing sexuality that they are not.
You are supposedly an educated man, heck, you are representing the community that you are so openly mocking. We are pretty sure your role must have required you to do some research beforehand so you must be aware of all the plights of this marginalized community and the torture they face on a daily basis. If despite knowing all this you can't be empathetic and would rather reduce their identity to a slur then everyone knows that you shouldn't be playing this role at all.
It is 2019 folks and we are not letting this behavior be normalized. It is time to set some things straight and draw a few lines. People have been mocking and degrading others in the name of humor but it is time we realize the baggage our smallest of insults carry.

Q: Is there, and if so a way to use the data packets you receive from the LoRa Transmitter in specific commands like an if statement? I am finishing up a project for school, and I am at the last step for getting my device 100% working. For a little information on the project. I am developing a wireless speedometer that tracks rpm and converts it to MPH through a hall effects sensor. The modules I am using Heltec LoRa esp32 in addition to the LoRa library through Arduino. The issue I am having is that I am trying to use the data packets received and use the sensor values sent out to be used in an if statement to activate a vibration motor to indicate if they reached a certain top speed. My code is below, and any input on how to use the packets correctly would be much appreciated. Thank you.

A: In terms of wire-based API design:
// packet is the packet from the transmitter
String packet = "S12.5"
String measurement = packet.substring(0, 1); // "S"
if (measurement == "S") {
  // at this point we know that the rest of the message is the MPH
  String data = packet.substring(1, strlen(packet)-1); // "12.5"
  float mph = data.toFloat();
  if (mph >= TOP_SPEED) {
    doSomething();
  }
  else {
    doSomethingElse();
  }
}

you could use charAt(0) to get the measurement instead of substring() if you know there are less than 25 sensors on the network.
each measurement would have its own char at the start of message and the data that related to that measurement would immediately follow. The sender and receiver are therefore interacting like a client/server in an API exchange. There is an implicit contract between them such that, when the transmitter says "S12.5", the receiver knows that means 12.5MPH. It's your system so you can design the communication packets any way you like.


As special as it may be, this recording is not about the instrument but about Bach and the light that can be shed by his favourite keyboard on some of his best-known music. From the first measures of the B flat Partita's Prelude, an unexpected lyricism, a beautifully maintained singing line takes centre stage. I think it's fair to say that, generally speaking, the speed possible on the harpsichord or piano is unachievable with the clavichord's simpler mechanism. This means that some of the quicker dances may be slower than we've become accustomed to. To van Delft's great credit, the marginally slower tempo of a Courante or Gigue robs it of none of its character and spirit. We adjust our ears and are delighted by the aptly vivid expression, despite its smaller gestures.
But what of some of the grander, more extrovert movements of the Partitas, the haughty C minor Sinfonia, the cunning A minor Burlesca and Scherzo, the jaunty G major Passepied and Gigue or, indeed, the magnificent D major French Ouverture? Don't they sacrifice some of their essence in this quieter dynamic and more leisurely pace? Not a bit. The organist, the harpsichordist and the pianist (of whatever vintage instrument) each have their unique, non-transferable articulation strategies. So too the clavichord player. Listening to van Delft's masterful, always stylish interpretations is an education about what the hand can do, given different tools, in the service of the imagination. And because van Delft is a consummate musician, his Bach is immensely entertaining.
There are some very substantial pieces on this recording of C16 and C17 music played on a refined and colourful 1/4 comma meantone tuned clavichord by Paul Simmonds - Sweelinck's Fantasia Chromatica, Peter Philips's Pavana Dolorosa, Andrea Gabrieli's Passamezzo. Some of the smaller pieces, especially the British music, are subtle, complicated and beautiful, I think he makes something fresh out of all these things, without collapsing into a sort of anachronistic empfandsimer style.
Even though these are older recordings, I think they did a good job recording the instrument.
There's another AoF which I've started to enjoy, the instrument is delicate, the disposition of the voices is sometimes imaginative - maybe helped in this because there are two of them. They also use subtle clavichord effects, especially volume. Anyway, it took me some time to appreciate because it's recorded at a low volume, which I think is probably truthful. It has become one of my favourites.

The Growth Program provides ongoing clarity to business owners and marketing/brand managers with our digital consultants by phone and email. The program accepts a small number of new clients each month and all potential clients are screened personally by our Managing Director, Neil Walter to assess if working together will be a good fit.
How do I know if my website is being effective at driving business?
I've been doing SEO but I don't know if it's working?
I feel like my digital guy speaks gibberish, can you help me understand this email he sent me?
How do I measure the ROI of my digital marketing?
What are my competitors doing in digital and what should I learn from them?
The program is non competitive with existing agencies or other consultants you may be working with. Our business is focused on providing understanding and clarity around your digital activities, not implementation solutions or full-service marketing outsourcing activities such as an agency. We do work with a small group of select clients on large scale customer acquisition projects, but the majority of our business is focused on providing clarity and understanding.
We can discuss potential investments you're looking to make, or existing projects with agencies or other service providers. Your consultant will help answer your questions, help you negotiate with service providers, and give you a valuable second opinion on the things that are important to you and your business growth.
The program includes unlimited support by email, and the ability for you to schedule calls with your consultant as required. The program is billed month to month with no contracts, so you work with us as long as you are receiving value. All pricing below is per brand/organisation.
Australian companies pay the fee in Australian dollars + 10% GST.
Project hours roll-over if not used.
Why did you create the Growth Program?
Multiple clients told us they wanted to ask questions and discuss ideas, but we didn't have any commercial arrangement in place as we were between projects! For a simple monthly fee, clients could ask questions and we would be able to view ongoing analytics data to help us see opportunities and help clients make better decisions.
We are registered in Australia, but generally consider ourselves as a remote team.
Possibly. In 2017/2018, we're looking to travel and do in-person meetings with clients on the Growth Program. Stay tuned!
What if I'm already working with other marketing agencies or consultants?
The Growth Program isn't meant to be competitive with other service providers that you may be working with. Our work focuses on gathering marketing intelligence and discussing the strategic implications of different options you may be considering. We work hand-in-hand with many marketing agencies and consultants, and will have no trouble working with yours.
What sort of clients are in the Growth Program?
We have consultants, E-commerce store owners, medium and large company marketing managers, marketing agencies, and various service based businesses! We generally speak to business owners, marketing managers, or other business leaders.
Tell me about your consultants?
Our Consultants are experts in Digital Marketing, and the right mix of different platforms and strategies for your business. Our Academy and Insights features content from our Consultants.
How will you determine if my business is a good fit?
We'll chat about your goals, challenges, and current setup. If you're looking to grow your business and are actively looking for support, this program is a good fit. If you're just looking for more details or insight, you may be better off ordering either the Marketing Opportunities Report or MAP Report.
You can cancel at any time, and you will not be billed again. We do not offer refunds of monthly fees already paid.
Why do you have a quota of businesses that can join the program?
We can only support a certain number of businesses per consultant. We limit intake to 5 new businesses to month, so we can grow our team as required!
The majority of clients start on the Baseline + Reports Tier and aim to have 1-2 discussions per month. After several months, you might choose to increase your Tier to coincide with a period of growth in your business. Being exposed to your data on a more regular basis allows you to draw conclusions and see opportunities. Your consultant will help you identify the best tier.
Book in a call, and we'll answer them for you!

Luka Kurashvili: Walk on the edge
This is the artist's fifth solo exhibition at Ten Haaf Projects, in which we will show thirty-two small and four large canvases. Originally, the small works were studies for large paintings. Now, they stand by themselves.
Kurashvili often takes photographs, which he then uses as a starting point for composing his paintings. In his expressive and colourful canvases, figures inhabit magical landscapes. Kurashvili's work depicts symbols and metaphors, giving the viewer a window into a world where place and time do not exist.
Kurashvili likes to think about his work as a paused film scene, one where the viewers have the opportunity to create the narrative themselves: a place without boundaries.
The title "Walk on the edge" describes Kurashvili's world, in which the tensions between dreams and consciousness, reality and fantasy create another parallel world. Kurashvili likes to move between these two worlds.
Luka Kurashvili was born in the Republic of Georgia in 1985 and graduated from the Academy of Düsseldorf under Peter Doig. Kurashvili's work can be found in important private and institutional collections. This will be the first exhibition in our brand new space at Recht Boomssloot 63 in Amsterdam.
Expositieperiode was t/m 22 dec 2018

Before this year, Margot Robbie was primarily known as Leonardo DiCaprio's stunning wife in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street and, to a lesser degree, costar to Will Smith in 2015's Focus.
Yet it was in 2016 that she blew up big time, as the Aussie actress was perhaps the best thing in two summer flicks – The Legend of Tarzan and especially Suicide Squad, in which she teamed up with the Fresh Prince once again. Her Harley Quinn character in Squad was a bright spot in a mixed bag of an experience.
Robbie's considerably larger star power has led to her being attached to a slew of upcoming roles. She will eventually reprise her Harley role in Gotham City Sirens, which will pair her with other notable female DC super villains such as Poison Ivy and Catwoman. She's also signed to portray notorious figure skater Tonya Harding in biopic I, Tonya.
No doubt about it – this screen bad girl had a very good 2016.

The A-Team comes to take a look at a boxer, Billy Marquette, in whom Face invested some of their money, only to find him crumpled on the ground, having been beaten up after refusing to throw a fight. The team quickly concocts a plan of their own, which involves B.A. posing as a boxer and taking Billy's place.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
Atrocious Alias: At the beginning of the episode B.A. is complaining about Face "wasting their money" by investing in a boxer, especially one being trained at a gym that, according to B.A. trains "nothing but losers." He then lists off several unknown nobody fighters trained at this gym, one of whom has the unfortunate nickname "Glass Jaw Hendrix".
The Boxing Episode: Face invests a substantial portion of the Team's money in a boxer named Billy Marquette, but in the process they discover that a local sleaze named Sonny Monroe is rigging boxing matches. B.A. goes undercover as an unbeatable boxer so the team can take Monroe down.
Casualty in the Ring: The team plans to replace Billy Marquette with B.A., who is posing as a boxer named Volcano Johnson. His cover identity involves him having caused this twice when he was boxing in Florida. They also fake him breaking Billy's hand and crippling him for two months, in order to give Billy a reason to drop out of the big fight.
Excited Episode Title!: The episode has an exclamation point on the end.
Friend to All Children: When the villains drug B.A.'s water during the boxing match the only thing that finally manages to motivate him to get his head back in the game is Murdock telling him he's going to let down the little kids who are rooting for him.
Parts Unknown: The ring announcer at the big boxing match gives this as the origin for Volcano Johnson (that is, B.A.). They introduced him to the villain by claiming he was from Florida, but they probably left it ambiguous when they registered him with the boxing commission, in order to avoid people looking too deeply into their cover story.
Red Baron: B.A.'s cover identity - Volcano Johnson. Many of the other boxers also have such names, naturally. At the end the team signs up Face to fight as "Dandy Dan" against "Butcher Murphy."
Slipping a Mickey: The antagonists drug the water in which B.A.'s mouth guard is rinsed when they realize that he has no intention of throwing the fight as ordered. Unfortunately for them, it makes him woozy but it doesn't stop him from beating his opponent.
Throwing the Fight: The villains of the episode are trying to pressure Billy into doing this, so they can make a killing betting against him, then use that money to buy a bunch of narcotics and get into the drug business.

In an earlier blog post, I discussed loklak setup on Kubernetes. The deployment mentioned in the post was to test the development branch. Next, we needed to have a deployment where all the messages are collected and dumped in text files that can be reused.
In this blog post, I will be discussing the challenges with such deployment and the approach to tackle them.
The pods that hold deployments in Kubernetes have disk storage. Any data that gets written by the application stays only until the same version of deployment is running. As soon as the deployment is updated/relocated, the data stored during the application is cleaned up.
Due to this, dumps are written when loklak is running but they get wiped out when the deployment image is updated. In other words, all dumps are lost when the image updates. We needed to find a solution to this as we needed a permanent storage when collecting dumps.
when the deployment goes down.
But this setup can't be used for storing loklak dumps. Let's see "why" in the next section.
The Kubernetes deployment needs to be updated when the master branch of loklak server is updated. This update of master deployment would create a new pod and try to start loklak server on it. During all this, the older deployment would also be running and serving the requests.
The control will not be transferred to the newer pod until it is ready and all the probes are passing. The newer deployment will now try to mount the disk which is mentioned in the configuration, but it would fail to do so. This would happen because the older pod has already mounted the disk.
Therefore, all new deployments would simply fail to start due to insufficient resources. To overcome such issues, Kubernetes allows persistent volume claims. Let's see how we used them for loklak deployment.
It must be noted here that a persistent disk by the name of data-dump-index is already created in the same region.
In this blog post, I discussed the process of deployment of loklak with persistent dumps on Kubernetes. This deployment is intended to work as root.loklak.org in near future. The changes were proposed in loklak/loklak_server#1377 by @singhpratyush (me).

Beyond Brexit: How Will EU Overseas Development Assistance Be Affected?
Michael Anderson and Ian Mitchell
The EU faces a substantial drop in its development resources following Brexit. Still, the amount will depend on how "hard" that exit is, and the UK's ongoing involvement in voluntary EU-level arrangements. Here we assess the potential size of the Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) funding drop that EU institutions could face.
At the UN General Assembly, Theresa May already confirmed that the UK will continue to "honour its commitment" to spend 0.7 percent of national income on development. However, following Brexit, this aid may be spent very differently, particularly the 9.8 percent of UK aid spent via EU institutions in 2014.[1] One short-term change is that UK Sterling contributions to the EU are likely to see a steep increase over the next two years before full Brexit since the EU budget is assessed in a strengthening Euro.
Co-Director of Development Cooperation in Europe and Senior Policy Fellow
But what about after Brexit? The EU itself is a major contributor to development—together its members are the largest aid donor and account for over half of the total $132bn development aid in 2015.[2] The EU's institutions (see below) are responsible for around a fifth of total EU aid spent (so over 10 percent of all aid). Of course, EU members' trade, environment, migration, finance, and other policies also have a significant bearing on poverty and development—and CGD considers these in our Commitment to Development Index—but aid is a critical element.
Without the UK, the EU would need to cope with significantly reduced funding on development. Funding flows through two main channels: directly, under the EU's Global Europe budget, and via the European Development Fund (EDF), which sits outside the EU's budget.
Beyond Brexit: A One-Line Change to Migration to Protect Billions in Exports
Beyond Brexit: Which Country Has the Best Trade-for-Development Policy in the World?
Beyond Brexit: Why Improving Market Access for Poor Countries is a Win-Win
EU Institutions Overseas Development Assistance, 2014 (€bn)
UK share*
Total EU Institutions 10.0 1.4 14%
EU budget including 'Global Europe' 6.9 1.0 13%
European Development Fund (EDF) 3.1 0.4 15%
Sources: Author's calculations, OECD Development Assistance Committee data.
*This share may alter from year to year. In 2013, the UK share was 15 percent in all three categories.
The main UK contribution is via the EU budget 'Global Europe' heading which includes development assistance and humanitarian aid beyond the EU, including to potential future EU members. Total EU ODA spending was €6.9bn in 2014 (some 5 percent of EU total spend). In a "hard" Brexit, where the UK makes no EU budget contribution, this would reduce the EU (ODA) budget by some €1bn, or 13 percent. Without the UK, the EU would need to decide whether to seek higher contributions from other members, reduce activity, or to salami slice funding across programmes.
The European Development Fund (EDF) received €0.4bn from the UK in 2014. The fund is outside of the EU budget and so is effectively voluntary. The UK is a major funder—contributing around an eighth of total funds—so the UK's absence would have a significant impact. Over 95 percent of EDF spend is on African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries.[3] This originated from the colonial ties of the main funders and the UK has used its influence to focus funding on the poorest countries.[4] Denmark and the Netherlands have argued for the EDF to be formally part of the EU budget to provide greater predictability in the funding. That proposal will be considered in the EU's forthcoming negotiations on the post-2020 budget and could in principle lead to new funding from, for example, more recent EU members. The four accession states for which (OECD DAC) data are available each contributed less than 0.13 percent of GNI in ODA, and a combined €73m to the EDF in 2014.
A third funding route is via the European Investment Bank (EIB) where the UK holds around a sixth of the capital (and no ongoing budget commitment). Currently, only EU members can be shareholders. The UK recorded ODA of €28m and €25m via EIB in 2013 and 2014. The UK's roles in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Council of Europe are not dependent on EU membership.
Finally, the UK contributes voluntarily to EU trust funds established for particular purposes, for example in response to the Syrian crisis. This funding is more ad-hoc but OECD record additional UK contributions to the EU ("non-core") which average roughly €50m since 2010.
In summary then, in a "hard" Brexit, EU institutions ODA spend would be at least €1bn lower and could be reduced by more than €1.4bn, or 14-15 percent. This raises a number of questions: will future generations of aid watchers look back on this change as a landmark, or as a minor accounting adjustment? For the EU, how should it reconfigure its development budget and spending without the UK? Are there risks that the quality of EU aid will decline? Or are there opportunities to see improvement?
Similarly, for the UK, what are the alternative options to spending via EU institutions? Many Brexiteers are trumpeting that the UK will spend the aid more effectively—what are the prospects? How do the various EU vs UK options score in terms of a common scale like the Quality of ODA Assessment?
Given the size of the funding involved, these are major questions that CGD will be exploring as part of our ongoing work on the issues and opportunities for development beyond Brexit.

2020 Season Announcement
With sadness but still much hope for the future, we are confirming the just-released announcement that the DCI member corps have unanimously voted to cancel the 2020 season. During this unprecedented time, safety and security are the most important things to consider and not conducting a national tour is the responsible choice. Our teams are working diligently to finalize and release plans on how members will be affected, including answers to key questions about tuition refunds, membership eligibility, potential contract rollovers, and more.
Like many areas of our life, we are using this opportunity to take a step back, reflect and re-evaluate how we can best serve all of our constituents. We are actively exploring new opportunities for summer 2020 and beyond and remain fully committed to providing a quality educational experience to the best of our ability. We seek to continue to make our members feel at home in the Spirit of Atlanta organization, and to find ways to keep our corps active in the community.
Most importantly, Spirit of Atlanta will survive and continue. We will make as much as we can of 2020 as opportunities allow. We are confident that we will be prepared for 2021 and our return to the field. We are a healthy, sustainable organization committed to serving youth activity and our commitment to our mission has not changed.
We thank all of the Spirit of Atlanta family for more than 4 decades of support and look forward to many more years of bringing great education and entertainment to our members and fans.
