Australian Broadcaster Adds Second Super Truck
NEP Australia, a television broadcast technology provider, has launched HD12, the company's newest 4K super truck. Initially based in Melbourne, HD12 will service productions around Australia, including major live sports and outside studio broadcasts, according to a Sports Video Group report.
HD12 is the company's second purpose-built 4K outside-broadcast vehicle and the first to launch in the Victorian market. It is equal in size, technical capabilities, and work environment to HD11, which NEP launched in August 2015, according to the report.
Along with sister truck HD11, HD12 has a maximum-length trailer that also has full-length double expanding sides, creating more than 65 sq. meters of interior space. It can seat up to 34 production staffers and has a main gallery with 13 seats. In addition, it has nine EVS operator positions, room for seven camera shaders, three audio-control positions, and more. It also has 90 kW of cooling designed for the extreme Australian climate, according to the report.
Sister trucks HD13 and HD14 are now in the coach-build stage at Smiths in the UK, according to the report.

NLD AIDS activist to run for Parliament
By Equality Myanmar on	 February 7, 2012 HR News
As the leader of one of the National League for Democracy's (NLD) social-aid outreach programmes, she has worked with limited funds, struggling to provide up to 100 infected patients with medicine, food and shelter.
Soon, if she is elected to the Burmese Parliament as one of the NLD candidates, she can speak out through the voice of experience in calling attention to the needs of the have-nots in Burmese society, particularly AIDS patients who are often shunned and misunderstood. Last year, authorities in Burma threatened to shut down Phyu Phyu Thin's clinic in a suburb of Rangoon.
That Phyu Phyu Thin is dedicated is clear. In mid-January, Aung San Suu Kyi singled her out in a crowd while she was speaking in Rangoon's Mingalar Taung Nyunt Township.
"As you all know, Phyu Phyu not only possesses a desire to serve the people but also a proven capacity to do so," said Suu Kyi. "I may not guarantee that all our candidates have such qualities. But I can guarantee that about Phyu Phyu."
A story on the Voice of America (VOA) website on Monday, quoted Phyu Phyu Tin: "The most important issue now is that many children are infected with HIV, and we need to do provide them with support. Infection rates are rising among youths, so we need to increase social awareness."
Phyu Phyu Thin is in the process of opening a second clinic to meet the growing need for care.
"Being a Myanmar [Burma] citizen, as well as an NLD member, I really do feel happy that Daw Suu is running. It's what we really need right now. I hope that we can all work together to build a modern, developed nation in the near future," she told the VOA. "Since we have been under military dictatorship for such a long time, issues including education, health care need to be seriously addressed as soon as possible."
It's hard to grasp the significance of the recent changes in Burma, in which Phyu Phyu Thin, once harassed by the Burmese authorities, is now stepping up to run for Parliament.
In November last year, a Mizzima reporter accompanied Aung San Suu Kyi when she visited Phyu Phyu Thin's shelter programme. The reporter heard Suu Kyi speaking to someone on the telephone: "Everybody has their own values so you don't need to be discouraged. You must uplift your spirits and strength. I say these words not only to the patients but also to everybody … high and low status depends only on each person. Everybody needs to know that they can consider themselves a dignified person."
Burma's most prominent democracy leader gave each AIDS resident a rose, which they greatly appreciated.
"Ahmay [mother]Suu … told us not to be in low morale and said she would supply us with medicine. We are encouraged. All of the patients were very encouraged to see that another person, Daw Suu, is with us besides Ma Phyu [Phyu Phyu Thin] before … We hold these roses in very high esteem and shall keep them forever, even after they've dried up," a 31-year old resident told Mizzima.
Phyu Phyu Thin said that new patients were always arriving at the centre.
"We can't give medicine to new patients. NGOs first gave medicines to the patients and then stopped … when they didn't have enough funding. So the availability of medicines for these patients is on and off. We still face medicine shortages," Phyu Phyu Thin said in November.
There are more than 360,000 HIV patients in Burma. According to UN AIDS statistics, the junta's Health Ministry spends about US$ 100,000 annually on its AIDS eradication campaign.
By contrast, neighbouring Thailand spent 4.9 billion baht (US$ 122.90 million) on HIV/AIDS treatment and programmes in 2004 (six years ago), a UN AIDS report said.

Although this was another long book, i liked it. i liked that the main characters were two girls and their romantic relationship wasn't the progress that helped a book tell the characters' story. The jumping around from characters and time wasn't too bad, because the chapter titles explained who and when the story is talking about.
The community of God's Gardeners remind me of the Amish Society. Very God based, and very natural based.The Amish view the outside world as sinful, and often unhealthy. At the age of 16, the Amish allow their children to go out into society and experience it for a year, to live as they want. At the end of the year, the young adult must choose to commit to the Amish way of life or join society and end their ties with the Amish community. When a member commits to living with them in God's Garden, they must abide by their rules. Like the change of diet in becoming a strict vegan, change in wardrobe, or their disuse of technology.
Atwood's strong religious correlation makes me wonder how she views it. Although she ends the book with "God's will" being completed, everything about the God's Garden community seems like a cult. The titles for the men and women as "Adam" and "Eve" is weird. Their way of life reminds me of the Amishs, and their goals are very Christian based. Atwood also doesn't seem to shy away from showing that these communities are not free from individual corruption. Like when Bernice believed that Burt was having an affair with Nuala, and she contacted the CorpSeCorps to have him arrested for selling marijuana at the market for personal gain.
I feel like this is an extreme representation of the society that we already live in. The epidemic in the book is caused from degration of the environment as a result from big corporations is an intensified all-at-once reaction to the pollution that produced from them. However in reality, the reason the number of people with health problems, like asthma, cancer, disorders and deformities have increased is because of the chemicals we put into the production of our food and also into the air.
Originally, I did not like the requirement of posting online. I am bad with managing my time, so I have always hated when an instructor incorporated "online Participation" as part of the grade. However, I will admit this blog kind of grew on me. First, it has challenged me to force myself into managing my personal time better. Also, it has forced me to go in depth about my analysis. I have been able to watch my opinions get stronger, to realize why I do or do not like something! Another thing I have not realized until now, is that because this is not a formal paper, I have been able to develop my own voice/style. I like that we have the freedom to go in any direction with our analysis and connections.
I try to stay off most social media, so I don't have a FB, Instagram, twitter, etc. So I'm definitely not used to posting things up, navigating, re-visiting, and commenting. I feel like that is something that I should be better at… responding and interacting with the other bloggers. But that's a failing of my own, I like the website, how it's set up, and how we get graded. Also, how we discuss the blog in class, that brings it back to the traditional form of learning (at least for me), and emphasizes important aspects of the book.
I really enjoyed this book! Although it was a long read, Earth Abides by George R. Stewart was very entertaining. Stewart questions ideologies about social standards including companionship, education, religion, civilization, leadership, and maintaining ethical beliefs. The plague the kills off most of humanity, and those left are left to do whatever they wish.
We are able to follow Ish as he grows, and see the choices he must make on a daily base. What he wants for not only his children, but also humanity. He hopes that civilization will return to what it was before, that the future will be like the past again. This reminded me of a teaching (I'm going to butcher it:/) :trying to convince a baby that they will need to walk is pointless, because they must crawl first. The baby cannot understand this, until they have experienced the process. The entire time Ish is attempting to tech his children to read and about religion, they FIRST needed to learn the basics of surviving, like hunting and making a fire without matches.
I watch the tv show "the walking dead". I saw many similarities, (but no "walkers") in scavenging, and the hope to rebuild civilization. However in both and many other apocalyptic stories, that the human race severely damaged, and "men go and come, but the earth abides".
This was my first comic book that I read to completion. This story definitely made me feel like I was with him in his journey of writing the story. We were able to see his inspiration, research, uncertainty as well as certainty, and how it affects reality. The book reminds me of the class I took last semester called "The Environment", it was about the environment and the 2 way relationship humans have with it.
The main focus Philippe Squarzoni was determined to push, is that the environmental problem is invertible crisis based on the path we are on. He strongly emphasized that the mentality "the choices I as an individual make, won't make a difference" and this will lead to our destruction of the earth. However he doesn't ignore that part of the cycle would happen regardless of human interference. Through his character, he shows us that sacrifices must be made to preserve (reduce the damages we create on) the earth.
This story had many similarities to the movie The Time Machine (2002). After I looked into it, the movie was based off of the book. The Time Traveler written from H.G. Wells did not build the machine to go back in time to save his fiancé, but to go forward and see how civilization has changed. When he arrives in the future, he realizes that society has not advanced, but returned to a very primitive state. He finds two species of the human race, one above which are smaller, vegetarians, and simple. The other lives unground and have adapted so they can no longer live above ground, see in the dark and are cannibals. He notes that although the underground race were probably the poorer part of society forced to work down there for the benefit of the wealthier (above ground people), they have become the stronger of the two races. Although he faces struggles in his journey, when he returns home, he is unsatisfied, and returns to the unknown in his time machine.

Town of Ocean View
Coastal Point • Submitted
UD to assist in Ocean View redistricting plan
By Susan Canfora | Staff Reporter
Susan Canfora
By unanimous vote, the Ocean View Town Council this week approved spending $4,429 to hire the University of Delaware's Center for Applied Demography (CAD) and Survey Research to assist with redistricting in the town, in association with the 2020 Census.
According to information on the State of Delaware website at www.delaware.gov, redistricting is a federally and state-mandated process "by which states redraw their legislative district boundaries using the most recent decennial data from the U.S. Census Bureau."
"There are numerous criteria each district must meet, including containing a relatively similar population size and meeting guidelines concerning contiguity, compactness, maintaining a majority-minority population and following natural boundaries.
"Legislative districts should all have roughly the same number of residents. Yet as the population grows and shifts throughout the state year after year, some communities gain a significant number of residents, while others see a decrease, making it necessary to redraw legislative districts. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a thorough count of all residents every 10 years, and that data is used to craft new legislative districts that have approximately equal numbers of residents and thus that Americans are equally and fairly represented."
Town Manager Carol Houck, at the Tuesday, Jan 11, town council meeting, told the town council that funding to hire the CAD is available from a consulting-service line item in the Town's budget for the 2022 fiscal year.
She told the council that having an outside entity manage the map would be beneficial. The CAD would deliver a 2022 Town of Ocean View councilmanic district map, created by using three layers of information that allow experts at the CAD to create the map and assist the council "in following through with charter requirements." Work could begin Feb. 1 and be completed by Aug. 31.
She also recommended forming a working committee to assist CAD staff, noting that it has been recommended that committee members include Houck, the town clerk, finance director and former councilman Bill Olsen. She said she hoped to add another person familiar with town history, and Councilman Frank Twardzik volunteered.
Town Solicitor Dennis Schrader said information provided by the CAD will be demographic and statistical and that council members will likely see some general population shifts.
"After my first look at it and at the districts, I don't know if there will be dramatic changes, but there will be some changes recommended by the Center," Schrader said.
The committee will not have the final say, he said. Once boundaries have been established, he said he will draft an ordinance that will go to the council for adoption, and there will be public hearings for public comment on the proposed districts that have been drawn. The council will then adopt an ordinance establishing the districts.
Town council to continue meeting at 7 p.m.
Following a discussion at the Tuesday, Dec. 7, town council meeting about changing the time of meetings from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m., and receiving some public comment, it was decided to not make a change at this time.
"I don't think there's any rush to try to do this right now. I think more input would be a good thing to do," Mayor John Reddington said at the Jan. 11 council meeting.
Councilman Tom Maly agreed and said that, even after more input is received, any change should be done on a trial basis.
Houck said there was "confusion and a Facebook flurry of misinformation shared because people were interpreting the newspaper article differently," referring to a recent article in the Coastal Point. She said the article was "a misinterpretation, so a misread of what took place" and that discussion at this week's meeting "clearly indicates they had not made a decision last month."
The Coastal Point article stated, correctly, that the council had agreed to meet at 3 p.m. on a trial basis, beginning in February, to see if anyone objected, then to reevaluate in June. The article also stated that Reddington had said most people who attend meetings are retired and able to come earlier in the day, but Maly had said he was concerned that those who work would miss meetings. Reddington had said meetings are recorded and available at any time on YouTube, so those who wanted to see proceedings could watch them even if they couldn't attend.
At this week's meeting, Houck reviewed for the council responses she received about the proposed time change, including that an earlier meeting would be better for those who prefer driving in daylight, instead of after dark. She received a message from the Town of South Bethany stating that that town had successfully changed their council meeting time from 7 p.m. on Fridays to 10 a.m. on Fridays.
Houck said Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lauren Weaver had also contacted her office and said she would like to have the day of the council meeting reconsidered, because it conflicts with both Sussex County Council's and Millville Town Council's meetings.
Another resident opposed changing the time because those who work would not be able to attend.
Houck said she "feels we are at a loss to make a good decision because we didn't get the feedback we expected" and suggested keeping the meetings at 7 p.m. "until we can determine a better way to survey the residents."
Councilman Bruce White repeated that there should be more input before any change is made and Reddington agreed.
Budget process to begin for 2023 fiscal year
Town officials have launched the 2023-fiscal-year budget process, Houck told council members, as she asked for the council's guidance in several areas.
The council agreed to:
• Continue offering residents a 1-percent discount if they pay taxes early, a practice that has been successful in Ocean View.
• Continue to not rely on transfer tax to run the Town. Houck asked council members if they supported the Town continuing to "have no reliance on transfer tax and funneling to the Trust Fund as noted." Twardzik and Maly said they liked that idea, as did Reddington.
• Continue to offer Town employees State of Delaware basic insurance at a 2-percent cost to employees and the State's vision plan at no cost. In support, Maly said, "Our employees are our biggest asset. We should take care of them."
Houck said there is a long turnaround time — up to 15 months — to get new police cars and that the Town has been successful in ordering early. Ocean View Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin said he is hearing that the problem will get worse.
"I really can't wrap my head around what's going on. I think a lot of it has to do with parts being unavailable to build the vehicles," he said, adding that it will take a year or year and a half before the Town can get replacement vehicles. He asked for permission to order two vehicles on Wednesday, Jan. 12, the day after the council meeting, but Town Solicitor Dennis Schrader said the council could not vote to approve purchasing vehicles because nothing specific about the budget was on the meeting agenda.
McLaughlin said the OVPD wouldn't have to spend any money until it took possession of the vehicles and that he only wanted to get the order in, but Schrader said the matter would have had to be on the agenda.
McLaughlin, while giving his report to the council, was asked by White whether anyone had been arrested for robbing Artisans' Bank at 35696 Atlantic Avenue in Millville on Dec. 29, 2021, and McLaughlin said the case hasn't yet been solved.
"OK. That's disturbing," White said.
After the robbery, the Coastal Point reported that a man had entered the bank, demanded money and fled on foot. Anyone with information regarding the investigation is being asked to call Det. Dustin Yencer of Delaware State Police Troop 4 at (302) 752-3791.
McLaughlin also reported he and Planning & Zoning Director Ken Cimino had met with representatives of Lord Baltimore Elementary School concerning security enhancements and emergency planning.
He said volunteers at the police department logged more than 179 hours during the past month.
Police department staff, in conjunction with community partners, hosted a Christmas party for residents of the Mommy & Me Recovery Centers on Dec. 18.
"It was a last-minute program put together quickly. It was a big success. A big shout-out to all the community members that participated in that and that helped us obtain gifts for the mothers and children," he said.
Staff also participated in a police memorial to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, including Ocean View's Wallace Melson.
Town manager's report
Houck said the Town's property reassessment is complete and that information was sent to property owners on Jan. 4. Appointments to file an informal appeal must be made by Friday, Jan. 14, she said, adding that there have already been 40 conversations, e-mails or in-person meetings with property owners.
Houck also noted that Ocean View will participate in the Fire & Ice festival on Jan. 28-30.
Citizen concerned about speeding
Ogre Drive resident Dick Jennison said drivers are speeding down his street to avoid nearby speed bumps. Ogre Drive is already a narrow street, he said, asking McLaughlin "if there is anything you can do other than putting speed signs up."
He thanked McLaughlin for his responsiveness but said drivers are not slowing down.
McLaughlin said speeding is a problem throughout Ocean View and that there are cameras on Ogre Drive that capture data. He said he will look at the data and see if he can isolate the times speeding is most prevalent.
Planning & Zoning report
Cimino reported to the council that Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalk refurbishment in Savannah's Landing is continuing.
He said the Town "managed the winter weather event on Jan 3, 2022, and cleared all roads and also managed the Jan. 7 winter weather event."
Houck thanked the Town's Public Works Department and Cimino for their work during both snowfalls and said the Town received many positive comments for how the first plowable snow was handled.
Notices have also been sent to West Avenue residents who will be affected by a streetscape project. Cimino said a public meeting was not able to be held last year due to pandemic restrictions but that anyone interested, or with questions, can contact his office if they would like to review the plans.

Okay so the squeak seems to increase directly with the speed. It's a fluttering squeak as well and sound like it's the drivers side front as the place of origin. Please help.
Guess I missed it - WHAT squeak?
If it increases with speed, does it change with engine speed or road speed? You can test by simply pushing the clutch in. Also, backing off the gas (or pushing the clutch in) may cause the engine/transaxle to shift and could cause the sound to change or go away due to different positioning of the assembly.
Changes with mph, as I slow it slows.
Sounds brake related to me. I had a squeek coming from the rear passenger side at one point that lasted for a couple of days and eventually went away. Must have been a rock or pebble that got stuck, because when I inspected the area my rotor was very obviously scored as a result.


With users of Click & Collect expected to increase from 35% to 82% over the next four years, the popular delivery option is looking likely to be the long term solution to the 'last mile'.
Click & Collect benefits both retailer and consumer. For consumers it is flexible for picking up their goods. With retailers it reduces their fulfilment overheads by removing the cost of home deliveries.
Many retailers offer the service for free which drives consumers instore, resulting in incremental spend. Something which cannot be achieved with a home delivery.
As well as Click & Collect, many retailers are offering the option of Collect+. Collect+ allows consumers to choose where and when they want to collect or return goods, with over 5,800 locations. 90% of UK residents are within one mile of a Collect+ location and the majority of these are open 'early till late', seven days a week which is even more convenient for consumers and couriers.
Today's consumers want the ease of buying their products with the guarantee their item will be ready for them to collect at their convenience and free of cost.
Consumers spend more time using their devices than they do sleeping, so the demand for faster loading websites is increasing every day.
Amazon calculate for every 100 milliseconds it takes to load a page costs them 1% in sales. Google discovered that an extra half second in the generation of their search pages dropped traffic by 20%.
We use the latest technology and techniques to optimise the speed of our client's websites. For example, one of our client's average page load time was 0.9 seconds, we reduced this to just 0.3. This resulted in the total number of pages viewed increasing by 2.4%.
Latency matters. Today's consumers want the best products at the best prices - and they want them now. Slow sites result in poor performance and consistently frustrating users could end up actually damaging your brand.
Christmas campaigns are well underway – here's our top tips for success.
Just over a quarter of the UK shop online at home from their mobile device, so it's essential that your site's user journeys are fully optimised for mobile and tablet.
Well executed email campaigns deliver sales, but they must be targeted, relevant and add value to your customers.
Retargeting ads will keep you and your products front of mind. This is key to driving sales, particularly from visitors who have yet to buy. But make sure your offer is too irresistible to ignore.
Online the notion of loyalty becomes more complex. To overcome 'showrooming' retailers need to be ahead of competitors on price and ensure customers receive an outstanding brand experience. Service matters to your customers, so don't let them down.
How Will Apple Pay Impact Retailers?
Apple Pay is a payment service allowing consumers to pay via the Touch ID feature. There is nothing more annoying than having to get up and grab your wallet before making a purchase. Apple Pay takes that frustration away by allowing consumers to pay with their fingerprint which not only brings convenience and speed, but also tighter security.
It not only benefits consumers but retailers too. It eradicates the need to optimise conversion at each step of the consumer checkout process. With many options like Paypal and Amazon Payments, competition is fierce, which goes in favour for retailers as they may be able to reap the benefits of decreased fees. Apple Pay's Touch ID led the way to its lower ("Credit Card Present") processing fees, these savings could be passed down to retailers.
Apple made the assumption however, that consumers would be opposed to them collecting information on their purchases. They may have missed a trick here, it will be interesting to see if this will change in the future.

The Electoral Consequences of Large Fiscal Adjustments
In: Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis

Alberto Francesco Alesina †
The conventional wisdom regarding the political consequences of large reductions of budget deficits is that they are very costly for the governments which implement them: they are punished by voters at the following elections. In the present paper, instead, we find no evidence that governments which quickly reduce budget deficits are systematically voted out of office in a sample of 19 OECD countries from 1975 to 2008. We also take into consideration issues of reverse causality, namely the possibility that only "strong and popular" governments can implement fiscal adjustments and thus they are not voted out of office "despite" having reduced the deficits. In the end we conclude that many governments can reduce deficits avoiding an electoral defeat.

Why The Chainsaw Was Called "Friendship"
When the Druzhba chainsaw appeared
The fate of "Friendship"
Video: Why The Chainsaw Was Called "Friendship"
Video: APPLE.MOV 2023, January
Many names from the Soviet era have long been the object of irony. The name of the famous chainsaw model is no exception. It would seem a strange idea - to give such a traumatic tool as a chainsaw such a life-affirming name as "Friendship"!
Why was the chainsaw named
There are many examples of folk etymology regarding this model of a chainsaw. For example, it has been suggested that the name "Druzhba" symbolizes the habit of working together, which was so respected in the Soviet Union. It is more often said that the choice of the name lay in the general mainstream of Soviet traditions, when the overwhelming majority of names included the words "peace", "union", "councils", "victory" or "friendship".
The word was really loved in the USSR, but the choice of the name for the saw was determined by more specific circumstances. To understand them, you will have to remember the history of its creation.
The chainsaw model, which received such a symbolic name, was developed at the Zaporozhye Machine-Building Design Bureau named after Academician A.G. Ivchenko. The work was completed in November 1953. The launch of the new saw into mass production took place a little later - in 1955, at two enterprises: State Unitary Enterprise PO "Sibpribormash" in Biysk and Machine-Building Plant named after F.E.Dzerzhinsky in Perm.
If you look closely at the dates of the development of the chainsaw and its launch into production, it is easy to see which date was between them - 1954. In that year, the country celebrated an anniversary, very significant for Ukraine, where a new model of the chainsaw was developed - the 300th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine with Russia. The name "Friendship", assigned to the chainsaw, was intended to symbolize this significant date.
There is another version of the origin of the name. According to some reports, specialists from China took part in the development of the chainsaw. In this case, the name "Druzhba" was supposed to symbolize the friendship between the Soviet and Chinese peoples. However, the reliability of this version is questionable, because the deterioration of relations between the USSR and China happened earlier.
It can be said without exaggeration that the Druzhba chainsaw was highly appreciated. In 1958, three years after launching into mass production, it was presented at an exhibition of technical innovations held in Brussels. Here "Druzhba" was awarded a gold medal.
Those who used the saw, for example, professional fellers, had an equally high opinion of the saw. The design of the saw allows you to cut large trunks in a standing position, while with other saws you have to kneel down. If Druzhba is properly cared for, it can serve for 30 years. And these are not all the advantages.
Today "Druzhba" already seems to be an outdated model: too heavy, uncomfortable removable starter, lack of a "Stop" button. In 2008, it was discontinued. This is the fate of any technique: some models become obsolete, others replace them. But even today there are still workable copies of "Friendship", and many appreciate them more than modern chainsaws.
The name of the chainsaw has also experienced very interesting adventures. A two-handed saw was jokingly called "friendship", because its work requires the participation of two people. And in the Romanian spoken language, the word "drujba" appeared, which denotes any chainsaw.


IFAD's Annual Report and Highlights for 2016 have just been published. People from across the organization have contributed and the report contains a wealth of information on the year's work and results – stories, facts, figures and analysis.
Here's a snapshot of the ongoing portfolio and new approvals during the year.
211 ongoing programmes and projects funded by IFAD in partnership with 97 governments.
IFAD's investment in the ongoing portfolio was worth US$6.0 billion.
Domestic contributions and external cofinancing for the ongoing portfolio amounted to US$7.3 billion.
The total ongoing Programme of Work amounted to US$13.4 billion.
53 new grants were approved in 2016 worth US$56.9 million.
The AR map in the front cover of the main report shows ongoing projects by region and by country. It also shows ICOs – both operational (40) and planned (4) − and proposed subregional hubs (8).
At the time of publication of AR2016 (June 2017), total IFAD loan and grants approved since 1978 were worth US$18.5 billion and the programmes and projects we support had reached about 464 million people.
The Annual Report is more than just numbers. Read the stories from the field and hear from some of the rural women and men that IFAD invests in. In Nigeria, young farmer Peter Okonkwo has doubled his yields as a result of the Value Chain Development Programme. In Madagascar, IFAD has enabled rural residents to gain legal rights to their land. A TV soap opera in Laos – My Happy Family – has spread the word about good nutrition for children and adults. In a remote and arid region of Brazil, a cooperative run by women is making money processing wild and native fruits. In the West Bank, a young couple who cultivate strawberries have used a loan to increase greenhouse planting space, enabling them to sell early for the highest prices.
This week, as part of a Partner Spotlight running 17-21 July, GFAR Secretariat will share these stories from different regions around the world where IFAD investments have made an impact on the lives of small farmers and poor producers.
The Foreword to the Annual Report Highlights for 2016 by IFAD President, Gilbert F. Houngbo, can be accessed here.
This news is adapted from a blog post by Hazel Bedford, IFAD Annual Report Coordinator, and is part of our Partner Spotlight this week on IFAD.

The Valentine's Gift HE REALLY WANTS
Score a Touchdown and Host the Crew for Superbowl on February 3
February, 2008 - Issue #40
The good news: Men don't need beautiful centerpieces to think a party is successful. The bad news: You don't know a first-down from a Lombardi trophy. Don't worry. Hosting a Superbowl party is more about the shopping list than the decor. Here's what you need:
Lots of it. Plan on guests drinking at least one beer an hour. Have at least one domestic, one foreign and one "lite" variety available. Yes, you will have extra left over - hopefully.
Soda and water
Beverages of choice for tag-along kids and women folk. Make sure you have a diet and a non-caffeinated option.
You know that aisle in the supermarket that your trainer insists you avoid? That's the one. You want tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole; potato chips and ranch dip; nacho-flavored chips; salted nuts; etc. If its packaging is bright and obnoxious, put it in the cart. Add manly candy selections to break up the sodium buzz.
Man cannot live off of licorice alone. They need meat. Subs are a must. It's the law. Pizza's what you order when you're running late after work. Subs are the male form of "special occasion" food. Nothing says, "I want to fulfill your manly needs" like premium meat slathered in mayo and topped with onions. You want a trip to couple's counseling? Serve taquitos. Just don't say we didn't warn you.
Once you've gathered your necessities and displayed them "man-style" on the buffet table (meaning that the bag of Doritos has been unceremoniously dumped into a mixing bowl), step back and take in the scene - every burping, groin-adjusting inch. See that guy in the middle, the one who's grinning like a drunk bear? That's your happy Honey, and he's worth it, don't you think?
DONT BE A MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK!
With so much riding on the day, don't call in your second string for reinforcements. Instead, stick with the professionals. We like anything from Jersey Mike's Subs. This testosterone-approved spot makes dude-ready party platters that are the antithesis of "girly-man" sandwiches.
Our suggestion:
Order a handful of the Famous Roast Beef and Provolone (it's made with certified Angus beef), some Original Italians (provolone, ham, proscuittini, cappacuolo, salami and pepperoni) and a few Club Subs (turkey, ham, provolone, bacon). Let them know that it's for a party; the sandwiches will be conveniently cut and wrapped into serving portions - one less thing for you to worry about. There are three Jersey Mike's Subs serving the SCV, and one more on the way: Canyon Country 252-5010; Valencia 775-6288; and Castaic 295-9967.


This program is part of the DACS suite. It is a stand-alone program that neither accepts the usual DACS command line options (m[blue]dacsoptionsm) nor accesses any DACS configuration files.
This general-purpose utility sends an HTTP/HTTPS request for uri to a web server and prints the reply to its standard output.
http will automatically follow redirects according to m[blue]RFC 2616m and up to a compile-time maximum, unless the -prompt flag is given. A non-standard extension is that a redirect to a non-absolute URI is interpreted in a manner compatible with most browsers.
DACS can issue its own HTTP requests, such as from dacs_authenticate to an external authentication module. This HTTP functionality is provided by the same support code that the http command uses, and therefore much of the following information applies to these internally generated requests also (e.g., m[blue]HTTP_PROGm, m[blue]SSL_PROGm, m[blue]SSL_PROG_ARGSm, m[blue]SSL_PROG_CA_CRTm, m[blue]SSL_PROG_CLIENT_CRTm, m[blue]VFSm).
Use the OPTIONS method but ignore anything that follows the authority component of uri and instead use the special case "*" request URI that means that the request applies to the server itself rather than to a particular resource.
If cookies (credentials) are to be sent (see -cookies), use an Authorization header rather than a Cookie header.
Read the message body from filename. It is assumed that the body has already been appropriately formatted for the request's content type.
Obtain cookies from filename, one per line, to send with the request using the Cookie header. Multiple cookies are separated using a semi-colon, which follows the m[blue]Netscape specm. Alternatively, multiple cookies can be combined on a single line, separated by either a semi-colon or a comma (following m[blue]RFC 2109m or m[blue]RFC 2965m). This argument may be repeated.
Set the Content-Type request-header to string. If the request has an entity-body, the default Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded; if the request does not have an entity-body, by default the Content-Type request-header is not set.
Passes and encodes the contents of filename as the value for name. By default, the POST method will be used, although PUT and OPTIONS can be selected. If filename is "-", the standard input is read; this form can only be used once on the command line. This argument may be repeated.
This flag, which may be repeated, causes the HTTP header name: value to be sent with the request. Neither name nor value are checked in any way.
Read additional message headers from filename, one per line, and send them with the request (refer to the -header flag). This flag may be repeated.
Include the HTTP response headers in the output. They are terminated by a blank line. The status line is labelled "Status-Line".
Set the debugging output level to log_level (see m[blue]dacs(1)m). The default level is warn, and the -v flag bumps the level to debug or trace.
Passes and encodes name=value as part of the entity-body. By default, the POST method will be used, although PUT and OPTIONS can be selected. This argument may be repeated.
Prompt the user for permission to proceed after certain events, such as receiving a redirect; the response is affirmative only if it is "yes" or "y". If this option is not specified, the affirmative action will automatically be taken.
Forward all HTTP requests (except for those that match a -proxymatch flag) to the proxy server at proxyport (a numeric port number or recognized service name) on proxyhost (a domain name or IP address). Proxying is not fully supported by http, but it will connect to the specified proxy server instead of the server implied by uri.
If hostname matches the host specified in uri, proxy the HTTP request through proxyhost (a domain name or IP address) at proxyport (a numeric port number or recognized service name). If port is not given, it is assumed to be 80 (for the http scheme) or 443 (for the https scheme). Matching is done by resolving hostname to an IP address (if necessary) and comparing it to the effective IP address that is specified by uri. This flag is given priority over the -proxy flag, so it can be used to override a default proxy server.
This option is not implemented. The SSL flags apply to all connections; this is probably a bug.
This flag indicates that HTTPS (i.e, HTTP over an SSL connection) is to be used, regardless of the scheme specified by uri. Because http does not directly include SSL functionality, it uses pipes to communicate with an external program that provides the SSL connection. The m[blue]sslclient(1)m command is strongly recommended for this purpose (version 3.26 of stunnel(1) and stunnel3, which comes with some releases of stunnel-4.x, might also work).
If SSL operation is enabled but the -ssl flag is absent or did not simply specify a pathname, append flags to the list of arguments to be passed to the external SSL provider; when the -ssl flag specifies more than one argument, this flag is ignored. The flags string is a space-separated list of arguments. This flag may be repeated.
When called by http, error messages produced by sslclient may be lost. If you encounter problems with SSL operation, work with m[blue]sslclient(1)m to ensure that an SSL connection can be established, or to determine and resolve the problem. If you discover that sslclient requires command line flags for proper operation, you will need to make sure that http passes those flags to it.
Set the User-Agent request-header to string. If not provided, this string will have the prefix "DACS-http/", followed by a DACS release identifier (example: "DACS-http/1.4.1").
Increase the level of debugging output. This will cause response headers to be displayed, for example. The flag may be repeated.
The uri argument is the URL to invoke. It may include a query string suffix (even if HTTP POST is selected).
Whether selected implicitly or explicitly, the command line must specify exactly one of the HTTP methods.
Request headers specified using the -header or -headers flags are sent in the order in which the flags appear on the command line. If they are read from a file, there ordering is maintained.
Use of an SSL provider other than m[blue]sslclient(1)m is officially deprecated. Recent development makes it doubtful that any other program will function properly with http.
It is only a partial implementation of m[blue]RFC 2616m (HTTP 1.0). It only talks HTTP (no other URI schemes are supported). Received cookies are discarded, there is no support for m[blue]RFC 2617m authentication, and no client-side caching is performed. http should not require an external program to provide SSL functionality. The program is a bit confused about when it should be able to send a message body.

SAP to create cloud services for industries
SAP is hoping to grab a bigger piece of the money its customers spend on cloud-based software by creating a new series of industry-specific services.
Chris Kanaracus June 2, 2014
The announcement comes on the eve of SAP's Sapphire conference in Orlando and a couple of months after Salesforce.com said it planned to go after six verticals in its own bid for further growth.
SAP's ambitions are broader, with the intent of eventually covering all 25 industries it now serves, according to the announcement.
A new Industry Cloud organization will be led by SAP executive Simon Paris. "Working in industries with highly specialized challenges, we will focus on our customers' most relevant business problems and then work creatively and collaboratively to develop industry cloud solutions," Paris said in a statement.
SAP has already made some steps in the direction of industry-specific cloud services. Monday's announcement cited a preconfigured ERP (enterprise resource planning) suite for chemical companies; the Circular Authority for Insurance application; and the use of its Hana in-memory computing platform by a number of health care startups.
While the announcement may amount to SAP putting a stake in the ground, it's an important one for the company to make, according to one observer.
"I think it's high time they did this," said analyst Ray Wang, founder and chairman of Constellation Research. "Customers are turning to other vendors in the cloud like Veeva for pharma, Accela for public sector and others."
Targeting industries plays to SAP's strength "and customers are looking for this," Wang added.
More details of the announcement are expected to emerge this week at Sapphire, which continues through Thursday in Orlando.

Q: Multiple file upload using NodeJS or HTML5 I have a project with bulk upload of files. Currently it is done by draging and droping of a bunch of files into a HTML5 uploader and as it goes through the web server it takes time to process all the files to upload, at the same time a windows application that don't use server is much quicker. Currently we are going to discontinue the windows application for some reason.
My question is does NodeJS process the files through WEB SERVER or does it works in asynchronous way by using network path to upload without using web server?
OR
Does it works similarly to that of HTML5 Uploader through IIS Server?
Is there any other way to avoid the files going through web server just in case if the application is running local network.

A: I don't know if this solves your question, but this is my method to multiple upload file:
Nodejs :
router.post('/upload', function(req , res) {

var multiparty = require('multiparty');
var form = new multiparty.Form();
var fs = require('fs');

form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
    var imgArray = files.imatges;

    for (var i = 0; i < imgArray.length; i++) {
        var newPath = './public/uploads/'+fields.imgName+'/';
        var singleImg = imgArray[i];
        newPath+= singleImg.originalFilename;
        readAndWriteFile(singleImg, newPath);
    }
    res.send("File uploaded to: " + newPath);

});

function readAndWriteFile(singleImg, newPath) {

        fs.readFile(singleImg.path , function(err,data) {
            fs.writeFile(newPath,data, function(err) {
                if (err) console.log('ERRRRRR!! :'+err);
                console.log('Fitxer: '+singleImg.originalFilename +' - '+ newPath);
            })
        })
}

})
Make sure your has enctype="multipart/form-data"
I hope this gives you a hand ;)

/s/ Douglas Baker
OptimizeRx Sales Pipeline Up 79% to $84 Million in 2019; Company Reiterates Strong Q4 and 2020 Outlook
ROCHESTER, MI., (December 9, 2019) — OptimizeRx Corp. (NASDAQ: OPRX), a leading provider of digital health solutions for pharmaceutical companies, payers, medtech and medical associations, reported its sales pipeline, which is comprised of outstanding request for proposals (RFPs) submitted, has increased 79% to $84 million in 2019 as compared to last year. The company's RFPs have historically realized a 35%-50% close rate.
"Our sales pipeline growth is being driven by an accelerated migration to digital solutions by pharma, along with a greater focus on patient experience," noted Stephen Silvestro, chief commercial officer of OptimizeRx.
"In addition to the significant pipeline growth," continued Silvestro, "we recently reported that we had five enterprise opportunities totaling $30 million currently under review by our clients. They address the need for holistic solution set for improving adherence which we are well positioned to deliver on. We've now signed and moved into contracting with several of these and are seeing the appropriate engagement with our clients on the others."
OptimizeRx's enhanced core messaging solutions coupled with its recent acquisitions have expanded the company's total addressable market by adding digital care and health management to its solution set. This has made the company better able to address its existing HCP messaging market, estimated at more than $2.4 billion, but also has expanded its reach into patient engagement, digital therapeutics and care management, bringing its total addressable market to north of $48 billion.
"Our integrated platform approach also allows us to address the needs of a much larger group of manufacturers and we have identified 29 whose needs directly align with our new platform solution," added Silvestro. "The benefits of this integration have begun to appear in the growth of our aggregate pipeline, including an increase of our average deal size from $130,000 in 2018 to $300,000 in 2019."
According to OptimizeRx CEO William Febbo: "As we continue to penetrate the market, we see our core digital point of care messaging business continuing to grow and are excited about the opportunities with our patient engagement programs. In fact, within our pipeline, over 20 clients have increased their spend for 2020 which gives us confidence in another year of record growth."

Fintech-focused Ribbit Capital raises $1.15 billion in seventh fund, according to SEC filing – BestFitnessBands
Ribbit Capital, a venture firm best known for its fintech investments, has raised $1.15 billion in new capital in what appears to be a close of its seventh fund, according to a Submit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The new fund, called Ribbit Capital VII LP is considered the last close of the fund. The amount is significantly higher than the $750 million the company would increase in March 2021. It is also more than double the $420 million it raised its sixth fund in January 2020.
Since its inception in 2012, Ribbit Capital had previously raised approximately $1.3 billion in capital, according to crunch base. It has invested (and seen exits) in what are today some of the world's largest fintechs, including Coinbase, Nubank, Affirm, and Robinhood.
In addition to this fund Management partner of Ribbit Meyer "Micky" Malka is listed as a director of an entity called Bullfrog Capital LP. According to a 2020 filing related to that Palo Alto-based venture capital firm, Bullfrog planned to raise $500 million from limited partners. A new filing indicates that the entity also eventually raised $1.15 billion.
BestFitnessBands reached out to Ribbit and Malka for comment, but had not heard back at the time of writing.
2021 was a busy year for Ribbit, who also made some investments in Latin America and even led multiple deals in the region. For instance, justos, a startup that says it will be the first insurance company in Brazil to use data in determining rates, increased in October a $35.8 million Series A funding round led by Ribbit.
The company has not only been active in North America and LatAm. In March 2021, it led to a $65 million extension for indonesian investment app ajaib.

Zrób to sam ( ('du: ıt jə'self), w skrócie DIY) – określenie idei związanej z samodzielnym, niekomercyjnym wykonywaniem zwykle na własne potrzeby różnych prac bez pomocy profesjonalistów. Anglojęzyczny termin DIY pojawił się na początku XX wieku, a do powszechnego użytku wszedł po II wojnie światowej. DIY może być także niezależnym artystą, który pisze, nagrywa i produkuje własne piosenki, zwykle we własnym domu. Wraz z rozwojem programów DAW (Digital Audio Workstations) czy takich jak Logic Pro X firmy Apple, Ableton Live i FL Studio. Wielu artystów na świecie tworzy tak własną muzykę i wydaje ją własnym sumptem na portalach streamingowych bez udziału dużych wytwórni płytowych.

Subkultura
Określenie to dotyczy wywodzącej się z subkultury hippie i punk (choć do niej się nieograniczającej) idei samodzielnego wytwarzania m.in. tworzenia zinów, ręcznego malowania naszywek i koszulek, wydawania utworów muzycznych nagranych własnym sumptem, organizowania koncertów bez pomocy sponsorów.

Idea
Idea jest rozpowszechniana także przez hakerów, miłośników technologii, elektroników hobbystów, którzy udostępniają na swoich stronach i forach dyskusyjnych filmy i inne pliki z instruktażami np. montażu gniazda do ładowarki samochodowej w komputerze, instalacji OS X na PC, zasilenia routera przez gniazdo ethernetowe, budowy zegara cyfrowego, budowy zestawu głośników do kina domowego, nawet własnego odtwarzacza mp3 i wiele innych.
Może to służyć wielu celom – od promocji danego ruchu, zespołu lub idei do pozyskiwania pieniędzy na różne cele.

Muzycy
Przykładowi polscy muzycy posiadający główne cechy DIY tj. nagrywający i wydający muzykę w swoich własnych wydawnictwach.
 DJ 600V
 Tede
 Sokół (raper)
 Jacek Sienkiewicz
 Modfunk
 Gromee
 P.A.F.F.

Majsterkowanie
Obecnie DIY funkcjonuje w państwach anglojęzycznych także jako nazwa sklepu z przyborami, narzędziami oraz materiałami dla majsterkowiczów. Idea ta rozprzestrzeniła się na kraje europejskie w postaci komercyjnej; wielu producentów we wszystkich dziedzinach technicznych, od budownictwa, poprzez wykańczanie wnętrz na elektronice skończywszy, oferuje zestawy do samodzielnego wykorzystania.

Od lat 90. ruch Zrób to Sam coraz zaczęło rozwijać się w skali globalnej dzięki rozwojowi sieci WWW. W efekcie zaczęły powstawać blogi i vlogi oferujące tutoriale krok po kroku pokazujące jak samodzielnie wykonać konkretne przedmioty, elementy remontu czy domowych napraw. Obecnie zasięg tego ruchu jest już na tyle masowy, że według badania z czerwca 2016 r. Zrób to sam. Jak Polacy łączą przyjemne z pożytecznym? 84% Polaków nie tylko samodzielne wykonuje różne czynności w domu czy ogrodzie, ale też 73% robi to z przyjemnością.

Q: Disable Activiti Spring REST API Basic Authentication We already have security configuration present in our application and we would like to use the same for security Activiti's rest services as well. I have tried to search around the internet but couldn't find a direct way to disable activiti's authentication configuration.
Spring version: 4.x
