"Carlos' Law is named for 22-year-old Carlos Moncayo, an Ecuadorean immigrant . . . who was buried alive at a construction site in New York City's meatpacking district in April 2015 while working in an unreinforced 13-feet-deep trench that had been cited by safety inspectors."[2] "On the morning of April 6, 2015, according to the New York Times, an inspector visited the site, noticed a trench without proper earth-retaining equipment, and issued a warning. Mere hours later, the walls of the trench collapsed on Moncayo, who was pronounced dead on the scene."[3]
The contractor "was convicted of manslaughter in the second degree, criminally negligent homicide, and reckless endangerment. . . . But despite these criminal convictions, the Moncayo family, who faced the tragic loss of a son and brother, reportedly did not receive any compensation."[4] The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fined the contractor approximately $10,000 (the maximum fine possible) for this negligence."[5]
The proposed bill would raise the maximum fine for criminal liability from $10,000 to no less than $500,000, or, in the case of a misdemeanor, no less than $300,000.[6] The proposed bill explains that:
Workplace deaths and serious injuries continue to be commonplace in the construction industry. Of the more than 400,000 workplace fatalities since Congress, enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), fewer than 80 have been prosecuted, and only about a dozen employers have been convicted. That is roughly 1-conviction for every 33,000 fatalities. In the few cases that have resulted in conviction, the penalty was only $1,000 on average. Under the OSH Act, the criminal penalty is considered as a Class B misdemeanor, and carries, at most, up to 6 months imprisonment. The weakness of OSH's punitive measures has therefore failed to encourage safer work environments.[7]
"This bill increases punitive measures so that corporations and their agents who ignore or fail to follow safety protocols and procedures and put workers at risk are less likely to write off serious workplace injuries as a minimal cost of doing business, and more likely to give workplace safety the serious attention it requires."[8]
It is hopeful that this proposed bill will encourage contractors to maintain a safe construction site. The information in this article is subject to change depending on whether the proposed bill is signed by the Governor. We will keep our readers informed with respect to any new developments.

Are we in the middle of a trucking boom? The rocketing figures released this week for the first quarter of 2018 would suggest there is plenty of confidence out there and trucks are walking off the show room floor at a fair clip.
The numbers are impressive, new records were achieved in a number of market segments as well as overall figures. It may be difficult to recall this point ten years ago, the last time the truck sales record for the quarter was broken. The sales of trucks in the first three months of 2018 were 8,675 units, 408 above the record set in the first quarter of 2008, according to the latest truck sales figures released by the Truck Industry Council.
In fact, at the time, the numbers being recorded back then were a bit of an anomaly. The subprime mortgage crisis was already starting to unfold in the US and the financial institutions were already having to work hard to keep their heads above water. The global financial crisis was inevitable by this point, but it was only just dawning on those in the know in early 2008.
In Australia, it was full steam ahead. The mining boom was in full swing. Iron ore prices and coal demand was at record levels and this ever increasing economic activity was feeding through to see WA and Queensland growing fast, with the rest of the economy following on behind.
By the end of 2008, the Australian truck market hit 36,620 overall. It was reaching dizzying heights. Truck production was struggling to keep up. In fact, in December 2008 Kenworth sold four fewer trucks than they did in March 2018.
That level of production was squeezing the Bayswater plant in Victoria to its limits back then. Today, the production system and the trucks have been altered and streamlined to prepare for these kinds of numbers. It's not a breeze knocking out 216 trucks from the confines of the Kenworth plant, but it is within its capacity.
For the importers of trucks, the problem is different. Ordering more than a few months in advance takes a lot of guesswork. Order too few for the actual demand and your customers are disappointed and will go elsewhere, order too many and your job is on the line because the business can't carry too much inventory.
We should have seen this increase in demand for trucks coming. Trailer makers are always a good indicator of the prevailing winds and they have been talking about lengthening waiting list for a good while.
So, truck and trailer sales are going up and the equipment manufacturers are struggling to keep up. Clearly, the road transport industry is growing fast and needs more gear. Good news for the economy and the transport operators.
Is it good news for safety? With all of these new trucks flooding into the fleets, is the average age of the truck fleet going down? Probably not. New trucks are coming in, but older equipment will also be coming back into operation to make up for the long waiting lists for some trucks and trailers.
When the economy comes off the fast growth cycle, new trucks will be available in good numbers, just at the point when trucking operators will be seeing revenues slow and new acquisitions become less attractive. Best try and do the job with the current gear.
So, the cycle continues. If the government is sincere about wanting to improve safety on our roads, then one way of achieving this would be to incentivise us when things aren't in boom times to upgrade the fleet. This is one of the solutions among many, like training car drivers how to behave around trucks, improving the road infrastructure, making sensible planning decisions around freight routes and so on and so on….

I think the end of one year and the birth of another is my favorite time of the year. I love the looking back and reflecting, which you can't help but do as the year slowly comes to its end.
And at the same time, I look forward to the blank slate, the endless potential that the new year holds in store. There are so many options, so many opportunities to design and create the kind of year you want to have. It's as if you have a free pass to do whatever it is you want to do…for a WHOLE YEAR! Think of the possibilities!
I think that's why I enjoy my year-end free call that I've been doing these past couple years. I feel like it's a way to take stock of the past year and to clearly focus on the new year. And I love being able to give back to my community like that.
To help close down your 2012 and start fresh with your 2013, I've come up with five simple things you can start doing today.
Are there more than five things you can do? Of course! There are tons of things you can do. But let's face it, no one wants to get caught up in the shoulds and outtas right now.
I want you to have just a few simple things you can do to easily create order and set the tone.
Show appreciation – One of the things I like to do at the end of the year is send out emails (or cards or even phone calls) saying thanks to special people for being a part of my life. It's so simple, yet it touches someone personally. I just received one of these simple year-end notes of thanks from one of my good friends—and fellow brainstormer—and I will say, I've reread it with a huge smile at least five times now. And I only received it yesterday.
Look back – I like to look back over my year and acknowledge all I've accomplished. I reflect on the big stuff and the small stuff. (Nothing is ever too small to celebrate!) You might find that you didn't get around to doing a whole lot, but once you get going with that list, you'll find it's a lot harder to stop than you realized. And you can't help but feel proud of all you've accomplished.
Delegate or ditch – While you're looking back, think about what you did that you maybe didn't enjoy. I may have created a few opt-in pages that I'm proud of, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed myself in the process. Or more importantly that it was money (in this case energy) well spent. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it was money lost. Know your strengths and your weaknesses. Spend your personal time doing what you're good at and what makes you money. And ditch or delegate the rest.
Claim those deductions – I am by no means a tax expert here, but you do have many deductions you can (and should) claim before the year is over. I encourage you to check out a list of what's deductible or speak with your financial or accounting professional. That said—just an FYI—coaching, training and classes are deductible. So if you've been considering working with someone for your business (I have January VIP slots available!), secure that 2012 rate now and claim that deduction!
Get some accountability – I know I talk about accountability enough that you must think I was a preacher in another life. But trust me, it makes a difference. Find a Mastermind Group. Reach out to someone that could become a mentor and remember to return the favor. Talk to a fellow entrepreneurial friend about teaming up as accountability partners. Hire a coach. Do whatever you can to get that accountability and support for your business. You'll be surprised at the strides you'll make in your business with your own accountability team.
Make a decision – Decide here and now what your business and your life is going to look like in 2013. Set that intention. Create that plan. Hire that coach. Secure that VA. Make a decision that this year is going to surpass each and every year that has come before it.
So make a decision to do it differently this year.
Shake things up. Live dangerously. Invest in yourself and your business.
ACTION PLAN:Pick at least one of these and get started working on it TODAY. Not tomorrow. Not in a couple days. TODAY.
I encourage you to download a copy of my LOOKING BACK | LOOKING FORWARD: Reflection and Journaling Exercises for Closing Out Your Current Year and Creating the Vision For Your Upcoming Year workbook for more exercises like this (20+ to be precise). It's totally free and one helluva resource if I do say so myself…and I do!

How John McCain—John McCain!—became Obamacare's savior.
Since Donald Trump assumed the presidency on January 20, three has been the magic number for Democrats—the number of Republican senators they would need to block a reconciliation-friendly GOP health care reform plan. In the final days and hours of the Senate's attempt to repeal Obamacare, confidence was high that Maine's Susan Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski were going to vote "no." But who would the third be? The prevailing assumption was that it would be someone representing a state that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare, like West Virginia's Shelley Moore Capito or Ohio's Rob Portman, or a conservative who felt that the legislation preserved too much of Obamacare, like Kentucky's Rand Paul or Utah's Mike Lee.
One person who was rarely mentioned? Arizona's John McCain. Despite McCain's rapidly fading reputation for being a maverick, he's not known as a health care wonk or a lawmaker who cares about preserving social welfare programs in general. And yet it was a smiling McCain—playing coy with both reporters and his colleagues—who ultimately killed the bill early Friday morning.
The final hours of the Senate's shameful attempt at repealing Obamacare were fittingly absurd. The bill wasn't made public until 10pm. Many Republicans, like McCain's BFF Lindsey Graham, had already slammed it as a "disaster." Leadership was spinning it as little more than a procedural step to move on to conference committee, but it had all the makings of a fait accompli.
When it became clear that McCain might be voting no, things got really weird. The Senate floor turned into a scene of furious lobbying, with Vice President Mike Pence and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell trying to bring either Murkowski or McCain back in the fold. No one knew how McCain would vote, so every small gesture—a hug, a smile—became a sign. It would have been silly, if not for the stakes.
When McCain finally cast his "no" vote, Democrats broke into spontaneous and brief applause. But how did McCain become health care's savior?
McCain returned to that institutionalist line in his statement after the "no" vote, saying, "We must now return to the correct way of legislating." Yet the only reason we got to this point is because McCain voted to override the correct way of legislating earlier in the week. In the most charitable reading of what the hell McCain was up to, he allowed the motion to proceed so he could ultimately kill the bill in the name of protesting the process. And, perhaps, giving a huge middle finger to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump.

Q: Em PHP comparar 2 variáveis ignorando Maiúsculo e acentos Em PHP tenho duas variáveis:
$var1 = "Sem danos visíveis";
$var2 = "sem danos visiveis";

Preciso comparar elas duas e saber se são iguais, se fizer como abaixo, claro, vai dizer que não são iguais devido ao primeiro caratrer da $var1 ser maísucula e não ter acento na $var2:
if($var1 == $var2){
   echo "são iguais";
}else{
   echo "não são iguais";
}

Mas nesse exemplo acima precisaria de uma resposta "são iguais", ignorando os acentos/carateres especiais/maísucla/minuscula.

A: Pesquisei sobre e não achei uma forma nativa de fazer isso sem ignorar a acentuação, mas no entanto encontrei essa função:
function stripaccents(string $input): string {
    return strtr($input, 'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÿÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝ', 'aaaaaceeeeiiiinooooouuuuyyAAAAACEEEEIIIINOOOOOUUUUY');
}

Logo, você pode utilizar essa função para ver se duas strings são idênticas, ignorando a acentuação e também a caixa alta.
function strcompare(string $a, string $b): bool {
    return strcasecmp(stripaccents($a), stripaccents($b)) == 0;
}

Home Government & Politics U.S. House overwhelmingly votes to condemn Trump's Syrian troop withdrawal
U.S. House overwhelmingly votes to condemn Trump's Syrian troop withdrawal
Robin Bravender Capital-Star Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — The U.S. House on Wednesday approved a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria.
The resolution passed the House with broad bipartisan support, delivering a stinging rebuke to the president. The final vote was 354-60.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers in both chambers have slammed the president after he ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region. Critics blame the decision for allowing a Turkish incursion into the region that targeted U.S. Kurdish allies.
"Since President Trump gave Turkey the green light to attack our Kurdish partners, Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate have been united in our swift and serious condemnation of this reckless action, which threatens countless lives, endangers our Kurdish partners and undermines our credibility in the world," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. said this week in a joint statement.
The resolution states that "an abrupt withdrawal of United States military personnel from certain parts of Northeast Syria is beneficial to adversaries of the United States government, including Syria, Iran, and Russia." It says that lawmakers oppose the troop withdrawal and it calls on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to immediately cease unilateral military action in northeast Syria.
All but two members of Pennsylvania's 18-member U.S. House delegation voted in favor of the resolution. Freshmen U.S. Reps. Dan Meuser, R-9th District, and John Joyce, R-13th District, voted against the resolution, according to an official House roll call.
In a statement released by his office, U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-1st District, joined the bipartisan chorus of condemnation.
"Giving the Turkish government license to attack our Kurdish friends sends the wrong message to our allies across the globe." Fitzpatrick said. "Abandoning our allies who have fought alongside us is a terrible mistake that will cost our allies their lives and undermines United States credibility on the international stage."
Taking to Twitter, U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-4th District, an outspoken White House critic and "yes" vote, said Trump's withdrawal decision "has already cost many lives and endangered ourselves and our allies. This isn't leadership [and] will have painful consequences for generations to come."
Just voted to condemn the President's reckless decision to withdraw troops from Northern Syria.

This isn't leadership & will have painful consequences for generations to come.
— Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (@RepDean) October 16, 2019
Trump dismissed criticisms of his policy on Wednesday, saying the area is "not our border" and calling Kurdish forces "no angels," according to NBC.
A Senate version of the resolution has also been introduced by Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Todd Young, R-Ind.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, slammed the president's move in an interview with reporters in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
"I hope he will reconsider, stop the bloodshed, and reset the table before it's too late," Graham said. "His decision and line of thinking was against all sound military advice."
Maine Democratic Rep. Jaren Golden voted for the resolution.
"I think as a member of the Armed Services Committee, as someone that served in the infantry, fought over in Iraq, I know this area very well," he said. "The biggest concerns are the way in which the president did this — very abruptly, he did it without I think communicating and working with his advisers at the Pentagon and has really I think put American soldiers' lives at risk."
Golden added, "you can't just withdraw overnight."
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) was among the Republicans who voted to rebuke Trump.
"I think that most people are upset that Turkey would attack the Kurds in the way that they are, and I think that the United States could have done more to try to prevent the kind of terrorist attacks that Turkey is reacting to, and at the same time prevent the kind of bloodshed that's going on there," Buck said in an interview Wednesday.
Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman, a freshman House Republican and a U.S. Air Force veteran, also supported the resolution.
"I know there's a destabilization factor that could happen there. We need to make sure we protect those who helped us, especially against ISIS," he said. He added he's worried about the "total destabilization affecting the Middle East," and the possibility that removing troops now could mean being forced to deploy more troops later.

Motorists Urged to Watch for Migrating Pronghorn Antelope
These pronghorn antelope were killed trying to cross the Interstate 80. Wyoming Game and Fish Department photo by Kevin Spence
The motoring public in southwest Wyoming is urged to reduce speed and be especially watchful for migrating pronghorn and other big game, as this winter progresses. Reducing speed and being extra watchful is the best way to avoid a collision and costly repairs.
"Poor visibility, coupled with slick roads this winter, have made it challenging for both motorists and wildlife," said Green River Wildlife Management Coordinator Mark Zornes. "The 2019-20 winter is shaping up to be a long and cold one and pronghorn are moving to traditional crucial winter ranges, as conditions worsen. Pronghorn, occasionally vary the distance they move in winter depending on weather conditions and snowfall patterns. While they return to winter ranges used for eons, they often vary the segment they choose to use in any given year, moving to avoid the worst conditions. However, the urge to migrate is as strong for this species as it is for mule deer, salmon and caribou, and is not something that can be altered by man."
Unfortunately, there are a number of impediments to pronghorn migration, including industrial projects, highways, fences, housing, and other obstacles that hinder or stop these annual movements, and increase mortality.
Advertisement - Story continues below...
Already this winter, a number of local incidents have occurred involving vehicle collisions and pronghorn. Collisions have occurred on Wyoming Highways 189, 372, and 374, on Interstate Highway 80 at the Granger Interchange, the Highway 372 Interchange, and at Covered Wagon Road, and on US Highway 30, both south and northwest of Granger. Collisions and the number of dead pronghorn appear higher this winter than in the recent past. Game and Fish personnel have managed to avert several other incidents as well through fence modification and by opening ROW gates. G&F personnel have also been involved in activities ranging from slowing traffic and trying to keep pronghorn and motorists separate, to euthanizing injured pronghorn.
"Pronghorn are arguably one of the more difficult wild animals to "herd" and a species more prone to blind panic than others," Zornes said. "During efforts to remove pronghorn from a right-of-way (ROW), traffic often cannot be stopped or delayed. One ill-timed "drive-by" during a herding effort can result in panic and wild running (pronghorn can run in excess of 50 mph) from fence line to fence line, usually resulting in dead or injured pronghorn and vehicle damage. "
"Once pronghorn enter a highway ROW, the most effective thing to do is to open all gates and let them exit the ROW at their own pace," Zornes added. "We recommend wide-fenced ROWs, which allow these animals to feel less restricted and is proven to reduce collisions. Regularly and often spaced-paired gates provide some of the best options for crossing and reduces time pronghorn must spend within the ROW. We also recommend fences be equipped with a bottom wire (smooth is best) height of at least 16 inches, allowing pronghorn to crawl under (since they prefer not to jump). During some winters, snow conditions can negate this opportunity if snow is deep and crusted."
"Cooperative studies are currently underway locally to increase our understanding of pronghorn migration in SW Wyoming. The studies are geared toward refining our understanding of movements of these animals, and to assess potential long-term solutions to mitigate impacts from infrastructure such as fencing and roadways. We hope this continued work will aid the ability of pronghorn to continue their historic migrations, ensuring the survival of this iconic Wyoming species for generations to come."

Jesus promised us that he would give us life more abundantly [Jn 10:10]. That's abundant life. Many Christians don't appear to have this abundant life that has been promised by Jesus Christ. They have eternal life, but they live like everlasting life is something they don't begin to enjoy until they die.
This failure to enjoy abundant life is like a girl who receives a beautiful jewelry box from her mother. Inside one of the drawers is a very expensive, beautiful heirloom diamond ring. In another compartment is a matching necklace. But because the girl is satisfied to own a beautiful jewelry box, she never looks inside to find the diamond ring and necklace. Likewise, many Christians are satisfied with just knowing that they aren't going to hell when they die. And so, they never "tap into" the abundant life Christ promised us now.
Abundant treasure – your treasure is what you value. It gets stored up in your heart. Many times, you can tell what this treasure is because you'll talk about it. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," [Lk 6:45].
Abundant possessions – Jesus said, "a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth," [Lk 12:15]. We have too much stuff.
Abundant iniquity – Jesus said, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold," [Matt 24:12]. Christians are seeking pleasure from sin rather than from the Lord.
So, how do we "tap into" this abundant life?
First, we must believe Jesus [trust what he said] – Rom 14:23 says, "whatsoever is not of faith is sin." Many Christians don't believe that they have this abundant life promised to us by the Lord. This is partly the result of iniquity abounding these days. If you don't believe it, you will never receive it.
Third, we must let Christ live his life in us – Gal 2:20 Paul said, "Christ liveth in me." He does. He is living inside of every Christian. And then Paul said, "I live by the faith of the Son of God." That's right. You "tap into" his abundant life by faith. "The just shall live by faith." Enjoying abundant life in Christ requires absolute trust in Jesus.
Conclusion: don't be like the girl who never found the diamond ring and necklace in her jewelry box. You have been given abundant life in Jesus Christ. Go ahead and suffer the loss of those things in your heart that stifle his life and, by faith, begin to enjoy the abundant life that is in Jesus.

Ceiling Speakers Colorado Springs
If you're creating a home cinema, or you'd just like to improve on your current living room, then you need ceiling speakers Colorado Springs! They're a permanent fixture that will provide top-notch sound quality for years.
Needless to say, that's why it's so important that you pick the right speakers, and install them correctly. That's where we come in, and that's what this post is all about. So let's find out more about them!
What Are Ceiling Speakers Colorado Springs?
For starters, you can buy ceiling speakers either for your wall or for your ceiling. The way they work is the exact same. They're like any other kind of speaker, but without a housing. Instead, you cut away either a part of the wall or the ceiling and have them there.
Why buy ceiling speakers? Let's take a look.
They free up room in your home. Having a surround sound system can take up quite a bit of room, in between the sound bars, big speakers, small rear speakers and more.
And because there are plenty of high quality speakers available, you aren't compromising on the actual sound system either. Ceiling speakers can be exceptionally high quality. Or, if you're on a budget, you can find cheap ones too.
Not only that, but you avoid the need for tangles of wires all around the room. The more speakers you need, the more wires you have. This means having to buy cable tidies, or worse yet, run them through the wall. If you're going to run them through the wall, just have ceiling speakers instead!
So, if you're completely sold on ceiling speakers Colorado Springs, how many do you need?
How Many Ceiling Speakers Do I Need?
How long is a piece of string? You can have as many as you want, although after a certain point you do experience diminishing returns! These speakers usually come in pairs. If your TV has decent speakers or a sound bar, that means you don't need so many. One on each side in the middle of the room, and two behind you would give high quality surround sound. But if you wanted, you could have two ceiling speakers, and 'regular' speakers in front and behind you. Ultimately, it's all up to you and your budget.
Ceiling Speakers and Surround Sound
Ceiling speakers are the best way of achieving surround sound, without the need for lots of visible wires, lots of tiny speakers, and lots of effort. And because they're installed directly, you can set them up for optimal sound, which will stay optimal for however long you use it. The principle of surround sound is in the name: it's about having noise coming at you from the side, from behind, from the front, and even from above! The point is to make you feel like you're really experiencing the movie. It's the perfect complement to a 3D movie, because the sound is in 3D too.
Ceiling speakers help you achieve that. With ceiling speakers above and on each side of where you're sitting, you're creating that 3D sound (coupled with the speakers in front of you).
Do I Need Anything Else?
You most definitely do. If you're installing a top quality sound system, you're going to need top quality cable. If you wanted to scrimp and save on wiring, you're welcome to, but you're shooting yourself in the foot. Essentially, the longer the wire is, the more the sound degrades. This isn't likely to affect you—it's more to do with bigger rooms, like actual cinemas! But you'll still need either two-core or four-core speaker cables.
Besides that, you also need ceiling speaker hoods. They're big fabric hoods designed to fit around the speaker. They look almost like a cat bed! The point is that they stop noise from echoing around in the wall or ceiling cavity. This improves the sound quality of your ceiling speaker system. But even more importantly, it stops noise from spreading around the house. Plus, if you have an upstairs neighbor, it stops them from being able to hear whatever it is you're listening to.
Can You Install Ceiling Speakers Yourself?
If you're thinking of installing ceiling speakers yourself, you'll need to be able to gain access either behind the wall or above the ceiling. You'll then need to run the wire through to the TV or home cinema setup—if you do want ceiling speakers that use wires, that is. You can get Bluetooth speakers, although these are a little more expensive.
However, no matter what kind of ceiling speaker you buy, you're going to need to power it. So your choices, really, are between a lot of wires and even more wires! All of this is to say that it's perfectly possible for you to install them yourself, but it's going to be a lot of hassle. If you'd prefer, we can do it all for you.
How Can Wire Works Help with Ceiling Speakers Colorado Springs?
We're a locally owned and operated electrician company, and we can install ceiling speakers Colorado Springs—and more besides, like lighting and even security. Between us, we've got decades of experience, and we're fully licensed, & insured. We pride ourselves on our work, our professionalism, and our reputation.

We've been installing home cinemas from scratch for years, right here, and we're also the best port of call for repairs.

EBay Writes Off $61 Mn On Its Investment In Ecommerce Startup Snapdeal
Sukanya Mukherjee
Earlier, SoftBank Made A Similar Move When It Reported $1.4 Bn Combined Losses In Snapdeal And Ola
US-headquartered multinational ecommerce corporation eBay has written off close to $61 Mn on its investment in beleaguered online marketplace Snapdeal. In addition to being one of Snapdeal's early investors, eBay Inc currently holds a 5.44% stake in another Indian ecommerce startup, Flipkart.
The company said in its SEC filings for the fiscal year ending in December 2017, "In 2017, we recorded a $61 Mn impairment charge to write-down our cost method investment in Jasper Infotech Private Limited (parent entity of Snapdeal). The investment was measured at fair value due to events and circumstances that we identified as having significant impact on its fair value."
"The fair value measurement of the impaired investment was measured using significant unobservable inputs. The impairment charge, representing the difference between the net book value and the fair value, was recorded to interest and other, net. In 2016, we sold a portion of our equity interest in Snapdeal. The resulting gain was recorded in interest and other, net on our consolidated statement of income," eBay further stated.
To cut losses on its investment in Snapdeal, eBay jumped ship in April 2017 to participate in a $1.4 Bn funding round in Flipkart, along with Tencent and Microsoft.
As part of the deal, eBay also entered into a strategic commercial agreement with Flipkart, thereby selling its eBay.in business to the homegrown ecommerce unicorn.
In its annual report, eBay said, "In 2017, we made a cost method investment of $50 Mn. In addition, we received a 5.44% ownership interest in Flipkart in exchange for our eBay India business and a $500 Mn cash investment, resulting in a cost method investment of $725 Mn. The gain on disposal of our eBay India business of $167 Mn was recorded in interest and other, net on our consolidated statement of income."
Along similar lines, Japanese investment giant SoftBank earlier reported a whopping $1.4 Bn loss on two of its major investments in India, Snapdeal and Ola.

As per the financial report ending March 2017, filed by the company, the "Financial Loss on financial instruments at FVTPL (Fair Value Through Profit or Loss) was $1.4 Bn (¥160,419 Mn) compared to a gain of about $1 Bn (¥114,377 Mn) in the previous fiscal year."
The financial instruments at FVTPL included preferred shares of Jasper Infotech Pvt. Ltd, the parent company of Snapdeal, and ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd which operates the taxi booking platform Ola.
Prior to that, SoftBank wrote off around $475 Mn in its combined shareholding value in Ola and Snapdeal, for the period ending December 31, 2016.
Similarly, for the period ending in September 2016, SoftBank had written off another $555 Mn in the same Indian investments, Ola and ecommerce platform Snapdeal. Like eBay, SoftBank also led a massive $2 Bn-$2.5 Bn investment in Flipkart, post the breakdown of the latter's merger talks with Snapdeal.
Snapdeal: A Look At Its Troubled Past
From the fallout of merger talks with Flipkart after months of speculations to being abandoned by one of its biggest investors SoftBank, the once celebrated ecommerce startup Snapdeal has been grappling with losses, controversies, layoffs and setbacks in recent times.
Once valued at $6.5 Bn (in February 2016), the company has been struggling to remain afloat amidst increased competition from rivals Flipkart and Amazon. In April 2017, after its valuation fell to $1 Bn, Snapdeal's biggest investor SoftBank proposed a merger with rival Flipkart.
In May, the two signed a non-binding Letter of Intent, following which negotiations began. For two months after that, Flipkart was conducting due diligence on Snapdeal, for evaluating its assets and liability profile.
Originally in June, Flipkart reportedly made a $300 Mn-$400 Mn acquisition offer, which the other party promptly rejected. During the first week of July, it was reported that Snapdeal once again rejected Flipkart's $700 Mn – $800 Mn buyout offer, asking for a slightly higher $900 Mn instead.
A week later, Flipkart upped its acquisition offer to $850 Mn. At the time, Snapdeal reportedly approved the $900 Mn-$950 Mn merger offer and was awaiting shareholders' approval.
Soon afterward, however, the merger talks between Flipkart and Snapdeal fell through after Snapdeal founders – Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal – as well as early-stage investor Nexus Venture Partner and minority shareholders like PremjiInvest expressed reservations against the proposed deal.
This was the one part of the entire story. While negotiating terms of the deal. Snapdeal repeatedly made headlines due to rumours about layoffs and downsizing. Between February-March 2017, as part of a cost-cutting exercise, Snapdeal reportedly laid off over 30% of its workforce or 1,000 people, with 600 being eliminated in February alone.
Post the breakdown of merger talks, on August 1, 2017, it was reported that the Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal-founded startup was gearing up to dismiss around 80% of its employees.
For Snapdeal, these are all ongoing battles. How the latest $61 Mn write-off by eBay will affect the already struggling ecommerce startup remains to be seen.

It is said that when a righteous man is born the world rejoices, when he dies, the world mourns, but when an evil man dies the world celebrates. when you die, what will the world throw a party or shed a tear?
While its not my favorite question, I sure hope the answer is that people would cry. Because I would hate to have lived my life so poorly that every one was so excited that they threw a party because of my demise.

Filling a need: Young man's project connects students with volunteer opportunities
By Stephanie Snodgrass

They say that necessity is the mother of invention.
For Brewton's Samuel "Sam" LoDuca, that was exactly the case when it came to creating "VoluNeed," a texting service designed to fulfill a student's graduation requirement for volunteer service hours.
Organized last August, the service is celebrating its first full year connecting local high school students with volunteer opportunities in Escambia County. Its motto: Bringing the hands of the volunteer to the heart of the need.
It works like this: a non-profit or community organization, such as Habitat for Humanity or a local church, sends Sam the information about their upcoming event – date, time, location, need, etc. Then Sam, through the service, texts the information to the nearly 200 students currently enrolled in the program. If a student's schedule matches the need, they arrive to earn the volunteer hours.
Students who participate in organizations such as the National Honor Society (NHS) and the Student Government Associations (SGAs) are required to have a certain number of volunteer hours to earn distinction at graduation. Colleges and universities also put special emphasis on community service when applying for scholarship opportunities.
The senior at T.R. Miller High School said when he began his search for volunteer opportunities, he noticed a "disconnect" between students and non-profit organizations.
"It was really during my sophomore year when I noticed the disconnect," Sam says. "I was trying to get volunteer hours for (NHS), and I realized I didn't know where to go.
"I got to asking, 'Where can I go? What can I do?' Knock on the door, I guess, and ask if they need help?" he said of his mission to local service hours.
"I thought to myself, 'I'm sure others are in my same situation.' So, I talked with mom and said let's do something about it. I decided we could be the middleman and connect people using technology."
And he was right.
"I knew that nonprofits needed help to fill their ranks when conducting an event," he says. "There was no influx of people, so I saw an opportunity to fix that. We weren't sure how to implement it. We thought maybe a website or social media, but we ended up doing it as a text service.

"Teenagers aren't on Facebook all that much, but everyone – and I mean everyone – checks their text messages," he says.
The family found "Send Text," a service that operates similar to the "Remind" system used by schools. Once established, Sam began handing out business cards with the sign-up information.
"The cards are just an easy way to let people know the opportunity is there," he says.
Sam says there is a small financial obligation for the service, which is covered by his family.
"I don't remember the dollar amount," he says. "That's help from Mom."
Sam says there is a sign-up for different participating nonprofits. In Brewton, those groups include Habitat for Humanity; Drexel & Honeybee, a Brewton no-pay restaurant; Brewton Reborn, a local beautification and quality of life effort; Brewton's First United Methodist Church's Backpack Buddies program, which provides school children with nutritious snacks; Paws Crossed, an animal rescue mission; and more. Other city and community organizations, as well as the Brewton City School System, also participate.
"(One) recent call for action was the Burnt Corn Creek Run," he said of the TRM Cross Country team's annual fundraiser. "The school has a paper that is signed by event staff to log the hours for each student. So, it really is a win-win for everyone involved. The non-profit or event has staff to work and the student gets their needed hours.
"Our non-profits love it," he said. "We also just started an Instagram page."
Students can visit voluneed.org or text 57838 to participate.
Where it goes from here
Sam is working to expand the service to all Escambia County students and beyond. He was recently asked by Coastal Alabama Community College – which has campuses in Brewton, Bay Minette and Monroeville – to begin working with its Ambassador Program to provide college-age students with community volunteer opportunities. That project is in the beginning stages and should launch soon.
A very active student, Sam spent the summer traveling – first to the University of Alabama's Boys State event, then to the U.S. Naval Academy Summer Seminar and as a delegate representing Southern Pine Electric Cooperative on the Washington D.C. Youth Tour, sponsored by the Alabama Rural Electric Association.
At every stop along the way, he shared the program and its mission.
"When I went to Boys State, I talked to a lot of people to get the idea out there," Sam said of his mission. "I don't want it to be a Brewton thing. I want it to go everywhere. Students everywhere have the same need, as do non-profits and organizations.
"We talked about using a different code for different areas, so people could easily see the information specific to their hometown," he says. "We haven't gotten all the details worked out, but it is something that I can see developing in the future.
"Community is very important to me," he says. "Being active and helping others is something that I have always loved to do. This project is just a continuation of that."
Sam is the son of Brewton pediatrician Dr. Paul LoDuca and his wife, Summer. After graduation, he plans to enter the U.S. Air Force.

I want display all the addresses depending upon number of objects present(i,e No/Type of address).

I am able to display the multiple address using the objects index position, but i want to display by looping.

Stackblitz DEMO

A: You can loop through address:

    {{abc.addressType}}

A:

      Name
      {{contact.name }}

      Gender
      {{contact.gender}}

      Address

            {{addr.street}},
            {{addr.city}},
            {{addr.country}},
            {{addr.state}},
            {{addr.postalCode}} ({{addr.addressType}})

A: Try this, this is just like the structure you wanted with direct indexing:

  <ng-container *ngIf="i === 0; else notFirst">Address	</ng-container>
  <ng-template #notFirst>	</ng-template>
  {{eachAddress?.street}},
      {{eachAddress?.city}},
      {{eachAddress?.country}},
      {{eachAddress?.state}},
      {{eachAddress?.postalCode}} ({{eachAddress?.addressType}})

GHARH Project makes significant strides in six months
No Comments on GHARH Project makes significant strides in six months
The Ghana Adolescent Reproductive Health (GHARH) Project, an intervention to improve adolescent access to Health information and utilization of quality reproductive health services, has reached over 77,000 young people in Brong-Ahafo, with sexual reproductive health (SRH) information, between January and June this year.
Through its multiple communication channels, including the popular TV series programme, "YOLO" that figure of the target group were reached in the Brong Ahafo Region, where the DFID – funded project, started in 2014, is being implemented.
Mr. Moses Nanang, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Representative of Palladium Ghana, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) collaborating with other Ghanaian partners in the implementation of the GHARH Project, said on Monday.
Within the same period, he said, over 63,000 young people also received various sexual and reproductive health services through different platforms such as adolescent health corners, school health clubs and outreach points.
He was speaking at the opening of a five-day Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH), jointly organised by Palladium and the School of Public Health, University of Ghana for 65 participants, at Abesim, near Sunyani.
It brought together participants mainly from the Brong-Ahafo with only two from the Ashanti Region and they included representatives of five NGOs, the Ministry of Health/Ghana Health Service (MoH/GHS), National Population Council (NPC) and the National Youth Authority (NYA).
The rest were from the Ghana Education Service (GES) and a representative each from the Health Directorates of the eight Municipalities and 19 Districts in the region, as well as three representatives from the Regional Health Directorate and a six-member team from the School of Public Health.
The objective was to equip collaborative partners of the Project at the district and regional levels, with the requisite knowledge and skills to effectively plan, implement and manage ASRH Programmes.
Mr. Nanang said the over-all goal of the DFID-funded GHARH Project was among other things to strengthen the capacity of Government of Ghana to manage and implement ARH programmes at all levels.
"Towards meeting that goal since its inception in 2014, the project had supported various capacity building efforts for over 6,600 individuals including programme managers, teachers, healthcare professionals and peer educators", he added.
Mr. Nanang said the Project's implementation would end in March 2017 and added that sustaining the gains chalked under it was crucial as funding would be required by the partners in the districts to maintain some level of activities.
He therefore appealed to government through the Municipal/District Assemblies and other agencies to prioritize adolescent health issues by budgeting adequately for them.
Dr. Osei Kuffour Afreh, Deputy Brong-Ahafo Regional Director in-charge of Public Health said Palladium's presence in the Region had been very beneficial because besides capacity building and awareness creation, 54 adolescent health corners had been established and handed over to the GHS.
He charged the Municipal/District Health Directorates to endeavour to use the corners for their intended purposes and also directed them to integrate adolescent health services into their routine health services programmes to sustain the Project.
Professor Augustine Ankomah of the School of Public Health and Coordinator for the Training stressed the need for stronger and effective partnership to achieve the goals of the Project to address the issue of adolescent and teenage pregnancies which was real not only in the Brong-Ahafo Region but a national developmental challenge.
