"Social Impact Network has identified a way to inject liquidity into Least Developed Countries by creating a new breed of impact investors. Social Impact Network leverages the rapid growth of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), a market valued at $100B. By using blockchain, the ecosystem addresses many of the challenges faced by the traditional impact investing sector, which over time will serve to introduce DeFi to a whole new cohort of investors," says Nadja Bester.
Nadja Bester heads up marketing and communications at Social Impact Network and is responsible for Social Impact Network's brand, marketing and communication strategy during its go-to-market phase. You are welcome to contact Nadja Bester with your possible investment opportunity to build out the Social Impact Network venture here.
Sebastian Klemm: Why is your Social Impact Network an effective platform for impact investing? What challenge does it respond to?
Nadja Bester: To understand what challenge we are addressing, let me first sketch the broader landscape Social Impact Network finds itself in.
If the $106T equity market is anything to go by, investing is a popular sport. If you are in the investment game, you know it is not liquidity that is an issue, but access. At the same time, it is impossible to ignore the fact that while there is enough money in the global economy that we're able to send billionaires to the moon, there are billions of people the world over who are still lacking access to basic human rights. Electricity, for example, is for most of us a given, yet one look at the targets the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are addressing will tell you that inequalities between nations and communities are some of the most pressing issues that the world is not addressing fast enough. The fact that there is a $7T annual deficit in meeting the SDGs by 2030 is alarming, especially now that Covid-19 has dethroned the growing focus on climate change mitigation as a top priority.
There is a solution in the form of impact investment. Impact investing is a way to ensure that investing extends beyond the realm of profit purely for its own sake. Impact investors can double-dip their investments: Not only do they receive gains on their capital, but their investments are used to make a difference in the realm of ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance). However, the $715B impact investing sector faces its own challenges, which ranges from a lack of flexibility and transparency at the individual level, to the fact that investments in developed markets are considered a much safer bet. As a result, impact projects tend to proliferate in countries that can already afford to implement such measures, and markets where there is already a serious lack – such as least-developed countries (LDCs) – continue to be last in line.
Social Impact Network has identified a way to inject liquidity into LDCs by creating a new breed of impact investors. Social Impact Network leverages the rapid growth of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), a market valued at $100B. By using blockchain, the ecosystem addresses many of the challenges faced by the traditional impact investing sector, which over time will serve to introduce DeFi to a whole new cohort of investors. But, more immediately, it adds to crypto investor portfolios a new dimension: The ability to invest in hard-asset projects that provide measurable impact, and since the process is largely automated, becoming an impact investor requires no more effort than what someone already does to maintain their current DeFi investments.
Sebastian Klemm: What concrete benefits of Decentralized Finance do you leverage to fill the gaps of traditional impact investment?
Nadja Bester: The best way to think about DeFi is as a 'Crypto Wall Street'. If Bitcoin is a decentralised digital alternative to the dollar, then DeFi is the decentralised version of every financial instrument currently being offered by service providers such as banks and insurers. DeFi is one of the newest kids on the block as far as DLT use cases go, and the talk of it being an alternative finance ecosystem is the realisation of what people have been promising for years in terms of how blockchain and cryptocurrency will transform the financial industry. But DeFi is still in its infancy and while there are a lot of innovations taking place in the space, I reckon we have not seen more than initial flutterings of how it will mature.
DeFi has only been around since 2017, though it was not until 2020 that it scaled and took off as exponentially as it did. As something so new and still considered cutting-edge even by people in blockchain, it is already valued at roughly $100B, which tells us that this is the start of big things to come. After all, we need only to look at cryptocurrency to understand that new ideas inevitably follow a diffusion of innovation, with early adopters ringing in "crazy" ideas that laggards later come to regret for not having jumped on the bandwagon sooner.
So how does this relate to impact investing?
The SDG funding gap is most noticeable in LDC markets where, due to a variety of factors, impact investors have less of an incentive to lock themselves into an investment. This is, after all, a key challenge with some of the impact investing asset vehicles, where pooling your stake into an impact crowdfunding platform means your funds are locked for up to a decade or longer. This is the case with solar PV projects, for instance. So the liquidity that needs to flow into these markets – in the form of investment rather than aid – is lacking. This is one of many challenges that impact investing needs to address if it is to have the financial reach which the world so desperately needs to help transform big issues. Blockchain technology in general, and DeFi protocols specifically, by its very design, are natural solutions to some of these problems.
At the same time, DeFi portfolios – like crypto portfolios in general – are largely digital and while the cryptoverse is expanding, thus far it has had a limited influence on the physical world. By bridging these two industries, Social Impact Network enables DeFi investors to expand their portfolios to real-world assets. Additionally, DeFi natives are hungry for more sustainable use cases that are about more than just high profits, yet do not require them to sacrifice the returns they are used to in the space.
That is the gap Social Impact Network is filling.
Sebastian Klemm: Who are first stakeholders and projects on your platform? What roles are installed to validate projects when onboarding them as well as to account & report a project's implementation and impact?
Nadja Bester: Social Impact Network originated as a response to a challenge set by the United Nations Development Programme's Alternative Finance Lab, during the DLT4EU programme in 2020. The idea was to incentivise civic participation with digital currency to stimulate impact investment.
So the ecosystem has been purpose-built from the onset to accommodate impact investors (lenders) and impact project executioners (borrowers). Out of a pilot programme with UNDP Lebanon during 2020 came a partnership with UNDP as an impact partner, and these and other international aid organisations and expert organisations will provide services such as conducting due diligence, overseeing project implementation, and validating impact reporting.
Sebastian Klemm: What investment opportunities are you currently seeking, in order to build out your venture of the Social Impact Network?
Nadja Bester: By creating the concept and the MVP, and by building the necessary partnerships, we have laid the foundation for the Social Impact Network ecosystem. Now it is time to bring it to life with financial support. Since Social Impact Network will be a decentralized ecosystem, we will go the token sales funding route. This buy-in will also translate to governance, as the entire ecosystem will be governed by token holders. A portion of the tokens will be sold in different sales rounds (seed, community, and public) at a fixed price to cover the costs of launching the project (development, human resources, marketing, and legal). A portion of the tokens will remain in the treasury as a reserve to cover the medium to long-term operational costs of the ecosystem.
For the first seed round, we are currently in talks with business angels and crypto VCs which are looking to invest in early-stage DeFi / Crypto startups.
Sebastian Klemm: What is the best way for interested parties who want to invest in your immediate Social Impact Network venture building to contact you?
Nadja Bester: Of course, this depends primarily on the phase during which you wish to invest. Angels or Crypto/DeFi VCs interested in the early phase of the project can contact co-founder Cedric Lehmann (cedric@social-impact.network) for more information about seed sale token acquisition.
If you are interested in the upcoming community or public sale rounds, you can register on our website to receive further information in due time.

The renowned and beloved Christian preacher and New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World recounts her moving discoveries of finding the sacred in unexpected places while teaching the world's religions to undergraduates in Baptist-saturated rural Georgia, revealing how God delights in confounding our expectations.
Christians are taught that God is everywhere--a tenet that is central to Barbara Brown Taylor's life and faith. In Holy Envy, she continues her spiritual journey, contemplating the myriad ways she encountered God outside of the church while teaching a college course on the world's religions.
In her interfaith class, Barbara introduces her students to other religious traditions and accompanies them on field trips to a variety of venues of worship. Both she and her students ponder and debate how the knowledge and insights they have gained raise important questions about belief, and explore how different practices relate to their own faith. Inspired by these intellectual and spiritual discussions, Barbara turns once again to the Bible for guidance, to see what secrets lay buried there.
Throughout Holy Envy, Barbara weaves together stories from her classroom with reflections on how her own spiritual journey has been challenged and renewed by connecting with people of other traditions--and by meeting God in her communion with them.
At the heart of her odyssey is her trust in God and knowledge that God is always with her. Barbara contends that it is the Lord who pushes her beyond her comfortable boundaries and calls for her to "disown" her version of the divine--a change that ultimately deepens her relationship with both the world and with God.


In this guest post, we are pleased to have Aedan Kieran, Digital Marketing Executive at Reflect Digital, share his insights about the latest techs that could be helpful for lawyers in their everyday practice and workflow.
Legal technology is vital to the future and growth of law firms with clients demanding for better and more efficient legal service. LegalTrek has created a legal billing software to help law firms run smoother, more efficient billing, and enjoy more profitable firm. It is designed to help law firms better track, and manage their hourly billing, alternative, and hybrid fee arrangements.
LegalTrek's solution helps lawyers deliver precise bills to clients, organize their workflow and improve the collaboration with colleagues. With its customizable interface, attorneys can tailor the solution to the specific needs of their firm, and clients. If you haven't used a legal billing, or practice management solution till now, check it out, and see how it can streamline your business.
It is estimated that over a billion emails are sent and received every single day. They are by far the main form of communication, as they are so much easier and cost effective than any other methods. One down side of emails is that they are very vulnerable to being intercepted and read by someone other than the intended recipient. This might not seem too important if you're emailing a friend about your weekend. But, what if your email contained sensitive documents or information about your firm or a client of yours.
This could be extremely damaging to the professional reputation of both you and your law firm. A situation like this one can be easily avoided by using email encryption. It will give you full control over the emails you send. You will be able to revoke access to the emails or choose how long the recipients will see them for. Sending encrypted emails is just as simple as sending a normal email but you'll have a peace of mind, knowing it is safe. The email encryption company Egress offers a free 14 trial which could be useful if you consider using encryption to send secure emails.
With today's speed of the Internet, and technology now being so advanced, it has become possible for people to work as effectively from home as in an office. This has created a new type of work, called virtual assistants/workers. Despite not being in an office, they can complete the same tasks as any other personal assistant.
Virtual assistants are extremely flexible which makes them ideal for small and growing firms who can use them in busy periods. The services of virtual assistants are very broad, here's why Smart Pa have created this infographic showing the duties of virtual assistants. If you and your firm are considering getting an extra pair of hands for your office, it would be worth considering virtual assistants and the help they can offer.
Staying in the loop is important with new technologies rising every day. Keeping yourself informed about new technologies means you can take full advantage of them, and get a jump-start on the competition.
The easiest way to do this is to read up on news and technology site for what they are talking about and recommending. A great site for this is Managing Partner. It has a technology section, which could be perfect for keeping yourself in the loop with the latest technology trends within the law industry.

Authorities at Harvard University say they received an "unconfirmed bomb threat" via email on Monday just after noon, forcing the evacuation of several buildings on campus.
Police and bomb squad personnel responded to the scene to investigate four buildings on the Cambridge, Massachusetts campus around 12:30 p.m. in an probe the university said would take several hours.
"In the wake of recent tragic events in locations ranging from Paris to Beirut and beyond, we understand that this type of threat will cause great anxiety for many across our campuses," read a Harvard statement.
"We will continue to be vigilant as we carry on Harvard's mission of expanding and disseminating knowledge," it said.
Harvard was one of several area schools--including Cambridge public schools--that reportedly received threats Monday.
Cambridge police said they recieved an anonymous blog post that was forwarded by an unknown person to them.
The post claimed someone was planning to bomb "cambridge mass city schools."
Superintendent Jeffrey Young told Boston.com that all schools were searched and that nothing unusual was found.
"The threat assessment was cunducted(sic) in cooperation with CPD and an evacuation was not deemed to be required," a statement from the superintendent read.


No one likes the discomfort felt when you have aches and pains. However, there are simple tricks to help you gain relief from that stuffy nose or itchy throat. It is believed that by applying pressure to certain points in the body you can deal with the discomfort of aches and pains. You can check out these simple tips for dealing with various health conditions.
According to the president of the ear, nose and throat specialist centre Dr. Scott Schaffer, you can gain relief from an itchy throat when you stimulate the nerves of your ears. What happens is that by stimulating your ears, there is an involuntary reflex in your throat resulting in muscle spasms that will curb the itching in the throat.
You can get instant relief from a stressful day by splashing cold water on your face and holding your breath in the process. By so doing, the ice water on your skin makes your body send a reflex signal to your brain, telling it to make use of oxygen judiciously, this will calm your body and help you relax.
When you are giving blood, but can't stand the sight of a hypodermic needle, just give a slight cough before the needle penetrates your skin. You should however, let the nurse be aware of your way of combating the fear of needles to avoid any unfortunate circumstance.
To get relief from a stuffy nose, you can press your tongue hard on your palate and also press a finger to the space between your eyebrows. When you do this, it causes the mucus buildup in your sinuses to flow out and your breathing will improve tremendously.
You can soothe the discomfort caused by minor burns and reduce the appearance of burn scars just by applying pressure with the tips of your fingers to the site of the burn.
Just gently rub an ice cube to the back of your hand, particularly on the webbed skin between the thumb and index finger. When you do this the cooling feeling of the ice will inhibit the pain signals that are sent to the brain from the nerves located in the region which are connected to the hand and face.
You can blow on your thumb to stop that uneasy and nervous feeling. When you do, it will help to calm your breathing and also to regulate the vagus nerve that is responsible for regulating your heart rate and that nervous feeling before a job interview or a presentation for example, will be gone!
To stop a nagging migraine all you need to do is to apply pressure to the webbed skin between your thumb and index finger using the index finger and thumb of your other hand. Keep the pressure on for a period of 120 seconds, you can make circular movements as you apply the pressure. This boosts blood circulation in your head and neck area, while freeing any inhibited energy flow.
Watch this video below and learn other ways to relieve your migraine with these important pressure points!
The presure point might work on minor headaches but it never helped a migrane I ever had.

MVO issues several series of reports, and most of these are available from MVO in the form of "Open File" reports. The following Open File Reports (OFRs) and Special Reports are available from MVO, priced at $25EC or $10US per report.
Cheques or money orders, in US or EC dollars and payable to MVO, should be sent to:
Administrative Manager
c/o Chief Ministers Office
Daily Reports cover the 24-hour period to 16:00 on the day of publication. These reports are designed primarily to update the local population on the volcanic activity. They are sent to the local media and interested parties via fax and email, and are posted on the MVO WWW page. Daily reports are collated by month and issued as OFRs.
Morning Updates summarise the 15-hour period to 07:00 on the day of publication. Information in such reports is duplicated in the Daily Report, and the circulation list is similar. Morning reports are not issued as OFRs.
Scientific Reports have been produced regularly since December 1995, and usually cover the 7-day period to 23:59 on the Saturday of publication in a numbered series. The Scientific Reports are edited by one person, with input from and review by all MVO scientific staff. These summarise and add scientific information to the Daily Reports and are used as the basis for the monthly GVN Bulletin, compiled by the Smithsonian Institute with MVO review. Circulation is by fax, email and the WWW page, but more limited and mainly by email. Scientific Reports are collated every 6 months and issued as OFRs.
Special Reports are issued on an ad hoc basis and in a numbered series. These describe important periods of volcanic activity in detail, and are written by a small group of scientists with review by all MVO scientific staff on whose work reports are based. These are circulated as for Scientific Reports, and bound copies are available from MVO.
Other OFRs are issued on an ad hoc basis in a numbered series. These are individual reports of work done at MVO or collections of other reports, mainly for internal use. These Open File Reports are not internally reviewed and should not be used as a definitive information source.
"Seismicity News" is a newsletter published monthly by the Montserrat National Trust and MVO. The purpose of the newsletter is to keep the Montserrat population public up-to-date about current activity at the volcano and to inform its readers about earthquake and volcanic hazards.

Top-dressing 100kg/ha at green-bud produced about $800/ha of net income - $514/ha more than applying no nitrogen... Applying nitrogen to canola crops at the correct rate, time and growth stage can increase yields and net income and reduce the potential for nitrogen losses, a study in Victoria's high-rainfall zone (HRZ) has found... We haven't measured dinitrogen gas losses but, because we're getting these high N 2 O losses, we hypothosise that we might be losing a lot as dinitrogen gas as well."..


Almost from the beginning of our discussions about starting Hill Family Farm, Lynn and I talked about how neat it would be having kids and families out to visit the farm. Now a days too many kids (and adults) have no real idea where their food actually comes from.
Have to admit, up until a few years ago I didn't give it much thought either. That changed when we got our first chickens a little over two years ago. I think most folks thought we were a little crazy to have chickens in the suburbs, but more often than not, they would be curious and start asking questions.
The question we heard the most was "do you have to have a rooster to get eggs?". Of course the short answer is no, but you'd be amazed how many people don't know that. I think one reason for this lack of biological knowledge is most of us are a couple generations removed from the farm.
Our parents and/or grandparents know the answer to this because they probably spent time around a farm growing up. Kids today don't get that opportunity. Hamburgers come from McDonald's and eggs come from Kroger. We want to play a small role in changing this perception.
So, kids are always welcome at Hill Family Farm! We enjoy showing them around and letting them meet chickens and pigs up close. It's cool to see which ones are brave enough to hold a chick or touch a pig's snout. Even just touching a chicken is a big step and something most kids around the country will never do.
If you live around Nashville, gives us a shout and bring the family out for a visit. I'm pretty sure you're kids will be glad you did!

Voters ask "What is the Register of Wills?" Read Byron's answer.
By | | Uncategorized | No Comments
When I tell people about my job, I'm usually presented with some form of the question "What is the Register of Wills?" People intuitively assume it has something to do with wills and the legal system, but let me explain this role more fully.
The Register of Wills is a constitutional elected office that oversees estate administration, also called "probate." Every county in Maryland and Baltimore City has an elected Register of Wills. This office is sort of a specialty court that handles probate exclusively. What is probate? When someone dies and they have any assets titled in their name alone or without a beneficiary, those assets must go through probate. This is the legal process for distributing those assets. If the person died with a Last Will & Testament, their assets will be distributed according to the terms of the will. If the person died without a will, their assets will be distributed pursuant to Maryland's "intestate" succession laws. The office of the Register of Wills helps families identify and account for these assets and oversees their proper distribution.
The role of Register of Wills itself is quite complex. The best way to describe it is as the director of a state government agency. I manage the office's personnel, budget, finances, procurement, technology, and public outreach. I establish office policies and make final legal determinations when issues arise. I work with the Orphan's Court to resolve disputes in contentious estates. I also work with my fellow Registers to adopt uniform procedures and lobby legislators to enact legislation that makes probate more efficient, fairer, and less expensive.
As an elected official, I have a sacred bond with the people of Howard County. I have a responsibility to serve people well and work hard every day to earn the honor and privilege of being Register of Wills. Having grown up here, I have a strong passion for local government and public service. I'm running for re-election to continue serving the people of Howard County with professionalism, efficiency, and compassion.

Tom Brady Becomes Shareholder In Under Armour
Dashiell Bennett Nov. 9, 2010, 2:48 AM
Under Armour has just landed their biggest athlete spokesmodel to date, and they are giving him a stake in the company to secure the deal.
The apparel company snatched up New England's Tom Brady after his deal with Nike expired this summer.
Giving Brady equity in the company was key, because Under Armour — which is 1/20th of the size of shoe giant Nike — has never been able to offer the kind of cash needed to snag to a top endorser like Brady.
It's a strategy we may see more often from UA and other upstart companies looking to gain a foothold in the market, although few athletes have the longevity and clean image to make such a deal worth the investment.
Brady's quote about the deal, however, is priceless:
"It's what so many of the kids are wearing, and I like to try to stay cutting-edge."
Nothing says "cutting edge" like using the phrase "what the kids are wearing."

Four days of excursions, beauty and nature.
The northern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest is just 45 minutes north of Milwaukee. The Henry Reuss Ice Age Visitor Center is your first stop when you arrive in the forest. The forest naturalists can guide you to the Mauthe Lake Recreation Area, Long Lake Recreation Area and offer many educational opportunities. The center is a great place to view exhibits about the frozen history of Wisconsin and the gifts left by the glaciers. Pick up a map of the trails and nearby places to explore.
Your adventures continues in southern Fond du Lac County at Horicon Marsh, the site of both a national and state wildlife refuge. This extinct glacial lake is the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States. Learn the story of Horicon Marsh at the Explorium as you watch, listen and touch the changes of the marsh over time. Take a Horicon Marsh Boat Tour at Blue Heron Landing in Horicon or rent a canoe or kayak to explore on your own. The northern two thirds of Horicon Marsh is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. Wildlife observation, photography, hiking, fishing, bicycling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and deer and upland game hunting all take place in the changing seasons on the marsh.
Fondy Sports Park (April thru October) is tons of fun for every age. Go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, road karts, battling cages and a rock climbing wall will keep you busy for an entire afternoon. The Fondy Aqua Park includes water slides, a fresh water pond & huge sandy beach and rentals of stand up paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boats.
After dinner explore the shore of Lake Winnebago by bike or on foot with 6 recreational trails over 50 miles. In winter you can cross country ski or snowmobile.
Head north of Stockbridge to Calumet County Park with over 5 miles of trails, a playground, campgrounds, marina and shore fishing. For winter fun check out the huge tubing hill! To see why High Cliff State Park is on everyone's outdoor adventure list you'll have to see it for yourself. With miles of scenic trails, historic markers, camping and swimming you can spend a day or a week enjoying this Lake Winnebago treasure. The Niagara Escarpment stretches from Wisconsin thru parts of Canada to Niagara Falls in New York and is often just called "The Ledge." At Ledge View Nature Center south of Chilton you can go cave crawling. Bring a flashlight to explore this underworld phenomenon called "Carolyn's Caverns." To make sure you catch a fish head out to Evergreen Valley Fish Farm to reel in a perch or a bluegill from one of three man-made ponds (open by appointment only).
Before you continue north check out Brillion Nature Center and Wildlife Area. The natural marsh, pond and forest make this a birding paradise. With over 6 miles of trails it is on every bird watchers list. As you had north around the lake you'll discover the Heckrodt Wetland Reserve in Menasha. With 76 acres of urban nature reserve you'll hike through habitats of forested wetland, cattail marsh, created prairie, open field and upland forest. In winter you can snowshoe and cross country ski in the Reserve. Head to Oshkosh for Disc Golf at Red Arrow Park or Winnebago County Community Park. In winter many of the local parks offer ice skating rinks and sledding hills. For a walk on the quiet side visit Omro and stroll across the charming walking bridges. Your options for sleeping very from campgrounds to cottages to bed & breakfast inns to beautiful hotels.

Q: Collect DOM elements from external HTML documents I am trying to write a report-generator to collect user-comments from a list of external HTML files. User-comments are wrapped in  elements.
Can this be done using JavaScript?
Here's my attempt:
function generateCommentReport()
{
    var files = document.querySelectorAll('td a'); //Files to scan are links in an HTML table
    var outputWindow = window.open(); //Output browser window for report

    for(var i = 0; i<files.length; i++){
        //Open each file in a browser window
        win = window.open();
        win.location.href = files[i].href;

        //Scan opened window for 'comment's
        comments = win.document.querySelectorAll('.comment');
        for(var j=0;j<comments.length;j++){
            //Add to output report
            outputWindow.document.write(comment[i].innerHTML);
        }
    }
}

A: You will need to wait for onload on the target window before you can read content from its document.
Also what type of element is comment? In general you can't put a name on just any element. Whilst unknown attributes like a misplaced name may be ignored, you can't guarantee that browsers will take account of them for getElementsByName. (In reality, most browsers do, but IE doesn't.) A class might be a better bet?

A: Each web browse works in a defined and controlled work space on a user computer where certain things are restrict to code like file system - these are safety standards to ensure that no malicious code from internet runs into your system to phishing sensitive information stored on in it. Only ways a webbrowser is allowed if access granted explicitly by the user.
But i can suggest you for Internet Application as

  - If List of commands is static then cache either by XML, Json or Cookies [it will store on user's system until it expires]
  - If dynamic then Ajax to retrieve it

A: I think I have the solution to this.
var windows = [];
var report = null;

function handlerFunctionFactory(i,max){
    return function (evt){
        //Scan opened window for 'comment's
        var comments = windows[i].document.querySelectorAll('.comment');

        for(var j=0;j<comments.length;j++){
            //Add to output report
            report.document.write(comments[j].innerHTML);
        }
        if((i+1)==max){
            report.document.write("
");
            report.document.close();
        }
        windows[i].close();
    }
}

function generateReport()
{
    var files = document.querySelectorAll('td a'); //The list of files to scan is stored as links in an HTML table
    report = window.open(); //Output browser window for report

    report.title = 'Comment Report';
    report.document.open();
    report.document.write('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC"-// W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"" http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'
        + '<title>Comment Report</title>'
        + '');

    for(var i = 0; i<files.length; i++){
        //Open each file in a browser window
        win = window.open();
        windows.push(win)
        win.location.href = files[i].href;
        win.onload = handlerFunctionFactory(i,files.length);
    }
}

*

*Any refactoring tips are welcome. I am not entirely convinced that factory is the best way to bind the onload handlers to an instance for example.

*This works only on Firefox :(

Q: JavaFX Display Applications on two monitors full screen Hi I have applications with two stages . I want to display one stage on one monitor on full screen. I don't know how I can do it. Thanks for help

A: To quote someone eleses answer on SO

You can iterate Screen.getScreens() and move your stage to required one. See example below.

Specifically the screen class as mentioned:
  for (Screen screen : Screen.getScreens()) {
            Rectangle2D bounds = screen.getVisualBounds();

            Button btn = new Button("Move me to Screen " + index++);
            btn.setOnAction((e) -> {
                stage.setX(bounds.getMinX() + 100);
                stage.setY(bounds.getMinY() + 100);
            });
            root.getChildren().add(btn);
        }

This will essentially use the bounds of each screen allocated to each screen and you can then set the X and Y value of each stage you wish to move to whichever screen.
Hope this helps, if you have any issues let me know and good luck with your project!

Netflix is already up 45% this year - here's why you might want to just 'buy the darn thing'
Jacob SonenshineFeb 27, 2018, 18:30 IST
Ken Ishii/Getty
Netflix shares are roaring in 2018 and could continue to do so for the rest of the year, says analyst Craig Huber of Huber Research Partners.
Netflix is well positioned in the international market for video streaming, which will expand significantly.
Netflix is also planning incremental price increases this year, which Huber believes will help increase revenue.
Free cash flow may not be positive until 2022, but the stock is a good long-term buy, Huber said.
Netflix is up 45% so far this year, and that could be just the beginning, according to one of the company's most bullish analysts on Wall Street.
Craig Huber of Huber Research Partners told Business Insider he has a price target of $300, but that he "wouldn't be shocked if the stock is at $350" by the end of the year. Shares closed Monday's session just above $294.
And if the past is any indication of the future, Netflix is well positioned. Not only did it add a record number of subscribers in the fourth-quarter of 2017, but its also expanded at a faster clip internationally than in the US, as seen in the Statista Research chart below:
Huber's call is based on the potential for continued growth of online streaming in the international market. There is "a lot of room to grow the volume of Netflix users outside the US," he said.
And while Amazon Prime video streaming has been singled out as a threat to Netflix's overseas expansion, specifically in Asia, that doesn't bother Huber. "I'm not overly worried about Amazon prime frankly," he said.
But it's really Europe where Netflix will excel. "Europe is easier than certain other parts of the world because the broadband penetration is pretty high, and the households generally have more disposable income to afford Netflix," Huber added.
Plus, Netflix has the "pricing power to raise monthly prices every couple years," he said. The company raised the price of its standard plan in October by $1 to $10.99 a month, and could raise them again later this year, Huber said.
"I don't have estimated free cash flow at Netflix turning positive until 2022, you have to have a long term view of the stock," Huber concluded. "If you do you should buy the darn thing."

We're all exhausted but are you experiencing burnout?
By Gabrielle Tavella and Gordon Parker |
Peopleimages—Getty Images
With more than half of Australia in lockdown throughout the latter part of 2021 and many of the social support systems we rely on having been put on hold, it's no wonder people are feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. For some, such feelings may ultimately culminate in burnout.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, burnout was, for the most part, considered a work-related issue. But in our research in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, we have identified burnout in people outside of the workplace, including those who are dealing with other life stressors, such as caring for loved ones full-time day after day.
Now, due to the pandemic, rates of burnout appear to be rising, especially since research from the Australian Institute of Health and Safety says working from home has skewed the work life balance—workers are often required to "do more with less" and be online and available 24/7, as well as home-school children. Job stress and long hours are increasingly intermingling with everyday social interaction. Our research into burnout—to determine how to best identify and manage it—is outlined in the book Burnout: A guide to identifying burnout and pathways to recover and is summarised here.
The most widely used burnout measure, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), defines it by three criteria:
• Exhaustion
• Loss of empathy towards service recipients/cynicism towards one's job
• Reduced professional accomplishment.
But the MBI has been widely critiqued. One concern is it overlooks key symptoms that are prominent in burnout and may be especially debilitating, such as cognitive dysfunction (which might include forgetting things or not being able to concentrate).
Another concern is it was derived solely from researching burnout in those who work directly with patients and clients, such as those in caring professions. Nuances of burnout that occur in other contexts may have been overlooked.

The Sydney Burnout Measure
In our studies, we asked more than 1000 participants who said they'd experienced burnout to report their main symptoms. They worked across a range of contexts, from paid employment positions to more "informal" work positions such as caring for elderly parents and/or children.
We found the syndrome comprised of not just exhaustion, but also cognitive dysfunction, withdrawal and disconnection from the world and those around you, and reduced work performance (whether in paid work or in tasks at home), commonly accompanied by depression, anxiety and insomnia.
These symptoms we collated into our own measure—the Sydney Burnout Measure (SBM). The SBM is a checklist of 34 burnout symptoms, with a high score indicating you might have burnout. But it's also possible to get a high score because of other underlying conditions that share several of burnout's symptoms, such as depression. To assess for this possibility, approaching a GP or mental health professional may be necessary.
These professionals will use their clinical experience to assess whether the symptoms you have are likely due to burnout, or some other mental health condition—as different psychological conditions often require disorder-specific treatment strategies.
Addressing the external stressor
Once you know you have burnout, what can you do about it?
First, the causes of your burnout need to be identified, so you can work to reduce their impact.
External causes of burnout can come from your workplace (being overloaded, overlooked for a promotion, working overtime) or from home (caring for multiple children and/or elderly parents, being primarily responsible for domestic duties).
A combination of both factors could be at play, especially during lockdown, where many are juggling working-from-home demands, financial difficulties and home-schooling children.
Seeking resolution from your boss may be useful in overcoming some job burnout. Can they extend deadlines or arrange flexible working hours around your child-rearing responsibilities?
For factors in the home, asking family members to assist in juggling tasks or researching whether some tasks can be outsourced (for example, can you hire a cleaner or a babysitter once a week?) may be of use in helping with burnout recovery.
Applying de-stressing strategies
When escaping these stressors isn't possible, you may have to bring on some de-stressing strategies to help curb your burnout symptoms. Things like exercise, meditation and practising mindfulness are consistently nominated by our study participants as most helpful.
Research in Health Psychology Review says such practices not only help distract and relax you, but also have proven biological benefits, such as reducing levels of stress hormones throughout the body.
Consulting a mental health professional can also be useful, as they will have specific cognitive strategies to help reduce anxiety and stress.
Addressing a predisposing factor: perfectionism
While stressors at work or home may set the wheels of burnout in motion, our analyses indicated burnout may also develop as a result of predisposing personality traits, especially perfectionism.
People with perfectionistic traits are usually excellent workers, as they're extremely reliable and conscientious. However, they're also prone to burnout as they set unrealistic and unrelenting standards for their own performance, which are ultimately impossible to live up to.
Managing burnout requires not only addressing stressors and employing de-stressing strategies, but also tweaking any predisposing personality style. Several strategies can assist in modifying perfectionistic thoughts and behaviours. For example, learning to focus more on the "big picture" rather than the finer details can help prevent procrastination—a common consequence of perfectionism.
So, when starting a task, approach it with the goal of getting it done (no matter the quality) rather than ensuring it's perfect from the get-go. You can go back and fix it later.
Learning to avoid black and white thinking ("If this goes wrong, I'll definitely lose my job") is another important strategy. Consider instead the shades of grey ("If this goes wrong, I can try to approach it from another angle").
A mental health professional may also be of assistance here, as they can offer cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), that helps people notice and modify unhelpful thinking patterns that are common in perfectionism and make them prone to stress and anxiety.
Identifying burnout and its key contributors is crucial. Only then can management strategies be applied.

'That was the worst feeling ever': Miami looking for redemption in opening series of 2021 after getting swept by Gators last season

Ask any Miami Hurricane baseball player how it felt to get swept by Florida at home last season and they will all tell you the same thing.
"That was the worst feeling ever," said Adrian Del Castillo about last year's series. "It was a terrible feeling going back inside the locker room, and I just want to reverse that, and hopefully we can do that this year."
Miami, ranked from as high as No. 6 to as low as No. 21, will get a chance at redemption in the opening series of the 2021 season when they take on the No. 1 Florida Gators at their new ballpark in Gainesville, Florida.
Under normal circumstances, Miami gets the chance to play an opening weekend series before facing the Gators, but because of COVID-19, they will open their season on Feb. 19 at 3 p.m. against the preseason best team in the country. It will also be the first time in at least 20 years that Miami opens its season on the road.
"Florida has been a pretty good program for a long time, it's not just that they are doing it to Miami, they are doing it to everybody," Miami head coach Gino DiMare said on Florida's dominance. "This is going to be a great test right out of the gate. This is going to be a good test for us. The national championship game isn't going to be played on Friday night."
The Gators return the majority of their starting lineup, including their two ace starting pitchers in Jack Leftwich and Tommy Mace, both right-handed pitchers. Mace posted a 3-0 record through 27 innings pitched, with a 1.67 ERA, while Leftwich went 2-0 through 21.2 innings with a 4.15 ERA. Florida also returns its top hitter in Jud Fabian, a likely top 2021 MLB Draft pick and Golden Spikes Award candidate. Fabian, a center fielder, batted .294 with a team-best five home runs and 13 RBIs. Hunter Barco will start for the Gators on Sunday. Barco posted a 2-0 record with 19.1 innings pitched and a 1.40 ERA.
"They bring high-level stuff to the table," first baseman Alex Toral said of UF's pitchers. "They all have high-velocity fastballs, good off-speed pitches. It's going to be a great battle between them and our lineup.
Miami, however, has reason to be optimistic about the matchup. Despite losing all three starting pitchers from last season, the Hurricanes will rely on veteran Daniel Federman on Friday and two freshmen, Alejandro Rosario and Victor Mederos, on Saturday and Sunday.
For DiMare, the key will be the offensive output of his team.
"We gotta do a better job offensively of what we did last year," he said. "That cannot happen if you are going to play a team like this in their new ballpark. It's a great opportunity if we go in there and play well and hopefully win a series."
The Hurricanes will open their season on Feb. 19 at 3 p.m. against the No. 1 Florida Gators from Gainesville, Florida, followed by a 1 p.m. matchup on Feb. 20 and the series finale at 1 p.m. on Feb. 21. Friday's game will be broadcast on the SEC Network, and Saturday and Sunday's game will be broadcast on SEC Network+.

Q: Is it possible to use Entity Framework with a DB2 iSeries AS/400 Im new to Microsoft entity framework and wonders if it's possible to use this framework with a DB2 iSeries AS/400? Are there any problems at all when working with this kind of "legacy systems"? and the EF framework?

A: You can use Entity Framework to connect to an ISeries DB2 database one of three ways:
1. If you purchase the license to IBM's DB2 Connect product. The license is around $12,000 which is outrageous. Also, there is not enough good documentation for how the DB2 Connect product actually works, how it installs, or its possible benefits. I've contacted one of their resellers to get a test install and it was not an intuitive process so we never purchased the product. Likewise, there doesn't appear to be any demos. I don't understand how IBM can have one of the best servers available but don't bend over backwards to leverage their product to Microsoft developers.
That said, if you research this topic you will find much information saying that you can use Entity Framework using their ADO.Net data server provider. I went down this path but I will warn you that their data server provider only works when DB2 connect is installed. This is confusing because IBM advertises this ability but doesn't often show the direct correlation between the two products so you're often left thinking that it will work without db2 connect which it will not at this time.
2. Purchase a third party data provider designed for Entity Framework. Progress software's Data Direct is super easy to use. I don't like how their server licensing works though because their server license is per core processor for your app server. This is flawed because this assumes you only have one app server when in reality, people regularly need to have different app servers for load balancing. I would prefer they just license per one ISeries server. However, you can purchase the licenses for each individual user if you decide to do that.
3. Write your own data provider. This is possible but there are obvious drawbacks.

A: It sort of looks like it is - see here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/com.ibm.swg.im.dbclient.adonet.doc/doc/c0054118.html?resultof=%22%65%6e%74%69%74%79%22%20%22%65%6e%74%69%74%69%22%20%22%66%72%61%6d%65%77%6f%72%6b%22%20
but quite honestly, I'm not 100% sure - especially not if it supports EF 4.0 (yet).
Or check out the IBM DB2Connect site and search from there...

Q: Increase ulimit nproc for user other than root in docker container I want to increase ulimit for a docker container. I changed the /etc/sysconfig/docker file, added ulimit -n 65000 and was able to increase the ulimit for docker root user only. The same property is not inherited for any other users inside the docker container.
Any clues, why does this happen? How can I increase ulimit for another user other than root inside docker container? Can anybody help?

WGR 550 SportsRadio Patrick Mahomes says his ankle is fine, doesn't think that prompted late field goal try
Patrick Mahomes says his ankle is fine, doesn't think that prompted late field goal try
By Logan Mullen, Audacy
Patrick Mahomes has full trust in Andy Reid's decision-making, but he was ready to go if his number was called on fourth down Sunday night.
Down by three and having eaten up over five minutes of clock, the Chiefs found themselves on the Bengals' 37-yard line with a fourth-and-seven facing them. They elected to send out the kicking unit, but the oft-reliable Harrison Butker's 55-yard attempt came up short, securing the win for Cincy.
It was a painful way for the Chiefs to go down, one that was met with some second-guessing. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and while Butker tends to be one of the more reliable kickers in the league, making it only would have tied the game.
So, there was plenty of reason to go big and try for it on fourth down. That they didn't led to some speculation that maybe the Chiefs wanted to stay away from Mahomes on fourth down for health reasons, as he had been limping around and clearly dinged up his ankle.
In his weekly appearance Monday on "The Drive," Mahomes said he didn't think that was the impetus for the play call.
"Not necessarily. We were kind of on the edge of that field goal range," Mahomes said. "We expected him to make it in that spot, but I think more me not losing the yards and getting sacked (impacted the play call). I think that had more to do with it than the actual limping. I was ready to go if Coach Reid called a play for us to go for it."
Mahomes downplayed concern about his ankle after the game, and he didn't sound worried Monday, either.
"It's good, my foot and ankle are a little bruised, but it's just a bruise," Mahomes said. "As long as everything is all healthy and everything like that, I'll be out there playing. You deal with those little dings and stuff like that during a football game and a football season, so you just kind of deal with it and keep moving forward."

The biggest one for me is that admins have author privileges. (This means I won't have to use two accounts to post and run the site). One update that does affect authors is that I can set certain tags to be required, such as ratings, and limits to how many terms can be used. This second update only affects ratings for now, as you only need to pick one rating.
Also, I set up a tech support forum for any issues with this site. I do not want to spam Gatchamania with posts about things pertaining to this site.
The Writeshare plugin is in it's earliest version and the authors are still working on adding features. If there is a feature that you would like to see, let me know and I can add it to my wish list.

Myntra Fashion Upgrade Uses Fashion to Give Back!
by Seams for Dreams
in Awareness
On April 1st-6th, Myntra had their second Fashion Upgrade that encouraged people to discard their old clothes that they haven't worn in a year. The discarded clothes amounted to Myntra points that could then be redeemed on their app to buy new clothing. The more people donated, the more Myntra points they received. During the first edition of the donation call, Myntra-Jabong CEO said they expected 2 million articles of clothing from over 1 million people. So, where did all these clothes go?
The donated clothes were handed over to a Delhi-based NGO called GOONJ, which utilizes these clothes for rural village development initiatives. The NGO is one of the first organizations in India that encouraged individuals to give back through discarded fabrics and deals with 3,000 tonnes of material each year. The organization has over 2,500 initiatives across 22 states in India and includes everything from building railways, bridges and even making sanitary pads out of scrap clothing. GOONJ prides itself on using "trash, not cash" and the founder Anshu Gupta was the true visionary who started the organization back in 1998. The need for appropriate clothing was definitely highlighted by GOONJ's efforts and their work is a great inspiration for us at Seams For Dreams.
The first collaboration between Goonj and Myntra happened in November of 2017 and this current donation call yielded a 40% increase from the first edition. It is truly inspiring to see big companies like Myntra do their part to use fashion to give back. Myntra, a company that is very much considered to be a fast fashion platform, is now taking corporate social responsibility as a serious part of their business practice. Last month, SFD Founder Evelyn Sharma spoke at the o2h Innovation Conference and during a panel discussion, mentioned that spotlighting the work of other non-profits is a great step in making sure more people are helped, which is very different from the way for-profit businesses are handled.
Seams For Dreams is proud to see the impact that corporate-social partnerships have and that companies like Myntra are now required by law to give back. It also goes to show that India now has a conscience and big fast fashion companies have to re-evaluate the way they do business and engage with their consumers. SFD Founder Evelyn Sharma also spoke about the need to look at new methods like upcycling, recycling, and reusing, as these hold the key to innovation for the future of fashion.
Seams For Dreams continues to move forward on their mission to clothe 100,000 people across India and hopes to highlight the work of more organizations like GOONJ, and partnerships with large conglomerates like Myntra, that are doing their great part in using pre-loved clothing to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
