Open banking is transforming the fintech ecosystem in Asia and helping small businesses go digital. Source: Shutterstock
Open banking: An enabler in the race to relevance in the digital-age
By Soumik Roy | 7 November, 2019
IT IS NO SECRET that banks around the world are struggling to stay relevant in the digital era, losing customers to fintech companies of all kinds.
Although customers aren't ending relationships with their primary bankers just yet, they rely on digital wallets and other mobile payment solution providers for daily transactions, and there's nothing stopping them from migrating entirely once new players have proved that they're trustworthy and reliable.
This scenario is especially true in Asia where consumers and businesses are fuelling unprecedented growth in the digital economy.
According to a recent Google report, Southeast Asia's digital economy just breached the US$100 billion mark and is set to touch US$300 billion by 2025.
These numbers seem small when compared to China's US$4.64 trillion, but the pace of growth driven by commercial interests and consumer demand signal big opportunities that traditional banks could leverage to ensure long-term relevance and sustained growth in the digital age.
Mastercard's Executive Vice President of Digital & Emerging Partnerships and New Payment Flows, Asia Pacific, Rama Sridhar told Tech Wire Asia that Asian countries are digitalizing in real-time and tech-savvy consumers are embracing e-commerce and digital payment platforms with ubiquity.
"To compete effectively and maintain their share of customer eyeballs and wallets, the region's banks are largely opening up of their own accord to offer an ever-widening and innovative range of services for consumers to access and leverage their money."
The point that Rama Sridhar made is also reflected in two new studies published recently, namely the World Retail Banking Report 2019 and McKinsey Global Banking Annual Review 2019.
"Open Banking helps firms create a more seamless and integrated customer experience which will be vital to retaining and satisfying customers," points out the first of the two reports.
The second, more bluntly, says that banks might go extinct if they don't reinvent themselves for the digital age — and cites open banking as one of the most prominent tools or strategies to help them in their endeavor.
The McKinsey report analyzed the development of open banking across key economies in Asia and found that developments in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mainland China are being driven by market forces (consumers and businesses).
In contrast, development in many other parts of the world, including Australia and the UK are being driven by regulators — which isn't bad, but could stifle innovation as the voice of the end-users are barely taken into consideration.
"Because the primary driver of open banking in Asia is largely commercial, the principles of open banking—innovation, interconnectivity between banks, a dynamic ecosystem of fintechs, and consumer-centric design—are being swiftly embraced and executed on by banks and tech companies," said Rama Sridhar.
The trend is particularly pronounced in China where banks are driving open banking voluntarily with minimal regulatory mandates, and as a result, are already shaping consumers' online experience and expectation of digital financial services.
The success of open banking hinges on APIs
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) make open banking possible. Think of the technology as a plug and socket system. Banks create special sockets that facilitate the secure exchange of data with verified and approved fintech companies and enterprises using custom-made plugs.
That's essentially what an API is and the interconnectivity that it enables between banks and other stakeholders in the financial services ecosystem is what open banking looks like.
Open banking not only puts traditional banks at the center of the digital revolution but also, instantly, reinvigorates their relevance and role in the digital age.
Speaking to banks that have built their portfolio of APIs and embarked on the journey to embrace open banking reveals the value that the technology provides.
Citi's Treasury and Trade Solutions division, for example, created 50 unique APIs for its institutional banking customers a couple of months ago. Since its launch, those APIs have helped the bank move US$26 billion for clients.
"More instant banking services are becoming available in multiple markets across the world, and particularly in Asia, and API technology is a strong enabler of business and consumer innovation," Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions Asia Pacific Head of Digital Channels and Data Sanjeev Jain told Tech Wire Asia recently.
In Asia, fortunately, regulators such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) are proactively providing banks with support to develop APIs and with encouragement to trial them with new partners.
The primary concern among banks on their journey to API adoption is security — as it should be — especially given the strong emphasis on data privacy and security in the current regulatory climate.
Rushing to embrace APIs and open banking without understanding its implications could be catastrophic for banks, experts warn.
HKMA PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO BANKS CONTEMPLATING USE OF AI APPLICATIONS
Soumik Roy | 6 November, 2019
"Security must underpin the whole system. Rapid innovation in an open ecosystem creates many opportunities for consumer data to be hacked or misused, and the proliferation of connections has the potential to create a mess of permissioning [using APIs]," said Rama Sridhar.
In 2020 and beyond, open banking, enabled by APIs, will help traditional banks transform into digital-first financial behemoths servicing the rapidly growing digital economy in Asia — but the window of opportunity is closing and bankers need to act now.

"The Jedi"
Luke Jumeau
13Wins•5Losses
5' 11 (180 cm)
Raised by a single mother, his early childhood was a struggle and he got himself into trouble. He changed his life after losing his brother in a tragic accident, channeling his energy in pursuing "a life worthy of both of us" in MMA. To get into fighting comes easily with Luke as he believes "the warrior spirit lies within all New Zealanders". Jumeau's fighting style began with boxing, a sport he pursued for several years before switching to mixed martial arts. He put 10 years into achieving his tae kwon do-based black belt.
Luke prefers to use the moniker "Juggernaut" instead of "The Jedi" as he has heavy hands and is naturally strong. "The Jedi" was done by a local New Zealand promoter due to his calm and collective demeanor in the cage where a Star Wars theme video was made for him on the promotion.

"There was something odd about the results of the vitamin C and cancer experiments Linus Pauling reported in the 1980s: patients lived longer - much longer. Those treated with vitamin C lived an average of four times as long as control patients who did not receive vitamin C. This massive improvement was unparalleled in the history of medicine."
— Cancer Breakthrough, Handbook on Vitamin C Therapy for Patients and Doctors by vitamin C experts Steven Hickey,PhD, and Hiliary Roberts, PhD.
Recently, exciting research has been published that documents the ability of vitamins C, E and selenium orally to prevent most cancers, and to decrease the mortality of pancreatic cancers, stomach cancers, prostate cancers and other cancers. The Vitamin C Foundation is interested in the how and why vitamin C may help people with cancers feel better.
Almost all vitamin C experts now seem to agree, hydrogen peroxide produced by high levels of ascorbate (vitamin C) plays an important role.
Most experts recommend incorporating high-dose intravenous vitamin C (IV/C) infusions to achieve the high blood concentrations necessary to kill the most tumor cells.
You may be able to talk your oncologist into going along with vitamin C as an 'adjunct' (not a replacement for) conventional chemotherapy.
Improvement of terminal cancer patients' health-related quality of life after high dose vitamin C administration... No matter how effective IV/C is against tumors, the high-dose Vitamin C therapy can become an important adjunct to standard therapies by protecting our trillions of good cells from the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Studies have shown that taking IV/C after these therapies does not interfere with them and patients who take IV/C after chemotherapy do better than those who don't get vitamin C.
Cancers have increased insulin receptors and thrive on sugar. All carbohydrates reduce to simple sugars during digestion. A low-carb, low-sugar (ketogenic) diet is important to starve fast growing tumors of glucose.
Glucose, a component of most sugars, competes with vitamin C for entry into cells because these molecules are similar. This may be why the low-carb diet enhances vitamin C anti-cancer therapies.
The new Vitamin C Foundation sugar-free chewables (with Niacin) help with compliance, i.e. one tasty tablet every 3 to 4 hours, and they may help reduce the sugar/carb craving.
Cameron's chewables also contain important ingredients (e.g. cherry flavor, sorbitol and xylitol) that may have contributed to the outstanding Pauling/Cameron results in their Scottish study. Visit this forum topic on how and why new Vitamin C Foundation approved chewable vitamin C may contain Ewan Cameron's Secret Weapon against cancer.
Landmark Paper on Vitamin C and D'Fraction for Cancers.
The following tables from the Moss book illustrate that vitamin C the effectiveness of using vitamin C (and vitamin E) as an adjunct to conventional therapies.
Taking antioxidant vitamins for a long term may help prevent breast cancer, according to a study published in the Aug 24, 2011 issue of BMC Cancer.
The study led by S.Y. Pan of Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and colleagues showed that premenopausal women who had taken zinc supplements for 10 years or longer were 54 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, compared to those who had not.
The study also showed that supplementation of multivitamin, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc for 10 or more years was associated with 26, 42, 21, 25, and 53 percent reduced risk of breast cancer , respectively, in postmenopausal women.
On the other hand, dietary antioxidants including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and zinc or supplementation of antioxidants for less than 10 years were not associated with reduced risk of developing breast cancer.
The study led by E. Bidoli of Centro di Riferimento Oncologico, IRCCS, Aviano, (PN), Italy and colleagues found men who had highest vitamin E intake were 22 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer, compared to those who had the lowest intake. A similar association was found between vitamin C intake and risk of prostate cancer. Men who had the highest intake of vitamin C were 14 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer compared with those who had the lowest intake.
Gastric cancer or esophageal cancer patients who took vitamin C, E and antioxidative selenium supplements during a 15-year study were 50 percent less likely to die from the cancers. .
A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found that administering both vitamin A and vitamin C to cultured human breast cancer cells was more than three times as effective than the administration of either compound alone.
"This is the first time the effect of combining retinoic and ascorbic acid on breast cancer cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and antioxidant-related gene expression has been studied."

"The United States National Institutes of Health researchers found ascorbate killed cancer cells at concentrations that would only be achievable through intravenous infusion. Normal cells were not affected by ascorbate at any concentration. [More sepp commentary]"
Even the mainstream is slowly recognizing value of vitamin C in the fight against cancer.
Animal-Based Nutrients Linked With Higher Risk Of Stomach And Esophageal Cancers Vitamin C supplements reduce stomach cancer by 40% Yale researchers also found that regular users of vitamin C supplements were at significantly lower risk of stomach cancer.

Vitamin C Foundation comments: Are high antioxidant intakes bad for your health?
These data coupled with an absence of reports in the clinical literature of Ascorbic Acid sensitization strongly support the safety of these ingredients. Note: Report states that fear of tumors is misplaced, as effect is compared to bicarbonate of soda.


Minnesota Timberwolves head coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau remains Derrick Rose's biggest fan.
"As long as he's healthy, he'll be one of the best players in the league," Thibs said Monday, per Jace Frederick of the Pioneer Press.
Rose, 30, has been serving as Jeff Teague's backup at point guard in Minnesota this season and has given the team strong minutes, averaging 16 points and five assists per game off the bench. He's been rewarded with 28.7 minutes per game, pulling him nearly even with Teague (32.3 MPG).
Teague himself has played well to start the season, averaging 19.7 PPG and 6.7 APG. More importantly, he offers the Wolves more floor spacing, shooting 50 percent from three, while Rose is hitting on just 25 percent of his attempts from deep after three games.
Nonetheless, Rose's solid play means the Wolves always have a reliable point guard on the floor and can even pair him with Teague in the backcourt. In 43 minutes with Rose and Teague in the lineup together, the Wolves have an offensive rating of 129.8 and a defensive rating of 130.2, per NBA.com. Both numbers are significantly higher than the team's average offensive (119.8) and defensive (119.4) ratings.
Meanwhile, Rose has embraced his role as the leader of the second unit.
"Our job is to come in and play with a lot of energy," he said, per Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune. "My job coming in is whenever I get it, attack and look for open guys. Make sure that intensity is there. I think this is most shooters I've ever played with on a second unit. Everybody's a shooter, and I've got the whole lane to figure things out and take my time."
He's also shown flashes of the form that made him an MVP in the 2010-11 season. On Sunday, he blitzed the Dallas Mavericks for 28 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block in a 140-136 loss. And as Thibodeau has verbalized, that means Rose still has the ability to produce at the highest level, and certainly has value to the Wolves.
"I think people underestimate him at times," he told Zgoda. "He's a real humble guy. He's very unique. There were a lot of nights when he was the MVP, he had a lot of points but he was always happiest when we won and when his teammates did well."

It is a well known fact that the Upcountry Tamils of Indian Origin (UTIO) are one of the most marginalized people in the world. They are a group who have been, mislead, rudderless and virtually forgotten by the rest of society. It is our divine duty to help them in whatever small way we can. It is unquestionable, a strong foundation in education is a key to their betterment, and hence this formation of the trust to uplift the youths of upcountry with the simple and still effective tools. Education, education and education is the theme. Root of all evils is ignorance and fear.
Up-counrty Tamils of Indian Origin in Sri-lanka:
The Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka is Tamil people of Indian origin in Sri Lanka. They are also known as Hill country Tamils, Up-country Tamils or simply Indian Tamils.
They are partly descended from workers sent from South India to Sri Lanka in the 19th and 20th centuries to work in coffee, tea and rubber plantations. Some also migrated on their own as merchants and as other service providers. These Tamil-speakers mostly live in the central highlands, also known as the Malayakam or Hill Country yet others are also found major urban areas and in the Northern province.. They are instrumental in the plantation sector economy of Sri Lanka.
In general socio economically their standard of living is below that of the national average. In 1964 a large percentage were repatriated to India, but left a considerable number as stateless people. By 1990's most of these have been given Sri Lankan citizenship. Most are Hindus with a minority of Christians and Muslims.
The Hill Country Tamils derive their origins from a British colonial era project. , Workers came from around the Tamil Nadu cities of Thirunelveli, Tiruchi, Madurai and Tanjore were recruited from 1827 by Governor Sir Edward Barnes on the request of George Bird, a pioneering planter.
There is also a TRADING community of Indian Tamils who were not part of the plantation economy. [They live and run businesses in the major , towns and citites. At present they number........ In Colombo.
As soon as these migrant workers were brought to Mannar, the port at which they landed on their arrival by boat from South India, they were moved via Kurunegala to camps in the town of Matale. There they were quarantined for a period of a week or more, examined for infectious diseases.
such as small pox, cholera or typhoid and vaccinated them against these diseases before they were sent to Kandy, from where they were dispersed to locations where they would either work on estates already established by a previous gang of workers or clear land to establish new ones. Many died during their first few months of employment.
They were instrumental in the establishment of tea, rubber, coffee and coconut plantations. They formed the bulk of the labour force of the plantation sector.
Also were the main labour force in building the, roads and railways :
Census operations started in Sri Lanka in 1871. The Census of 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 had lumped together Sri Lankan Tamils and Indian Tamils. Since 1911, Indian Tamils have been shown as a separate category. The population statistics are revealing. In 1911, Indian Tamils constituted 12.9 per cent of the population, whereas Sri Lankan Tamils formed 12.8 per cent; in 1921, 13.4 per cent and 11.5 per cent; in 1931, 15.2 and 11.3; in 1946, 11.7 and 11.0; in 1953, 12.0 and 10.9; in 1963, 10.6 and 11.0; in 1971, 11.6 and 11.2; and in 1981, 5.5 per cent and 12.7 per cent respectively.[6]
The statistics reveal a more than 50 per cent fall in the Indian Tamil population between 1971 and 1981. The main reason for the fall was the repatriation of Indian citizens to India. Another fact is that that many Indian Tamils, after acquiring Sri Lankan citizenship, declared themselves as Sri Lankan Tamils. Some Tamils who migrated to urban areas and also to the North and the East also followed this same example.[6]
Politics :
Community Development :
The community was a closed community confining themselves to the plantations, while they actively contributed and contributes to the economic well-being of this country but the socio economic indicators of the community was amongst the worst in the country. The community in general was ISOLATED, living in ghettoes within the central region as well as linguistically isolated from the majority Sinhalese villagers who live in the valleys. They were captive labor whose life in its entity was decided by the employers. Any social relationship or cultural ties were only among themselves or with South India. In the 1940s the trade union movement had galvanized the plantation workers into a militant working class. They joined hands with the Lanka Sama Samaja (or Socialist) Party, which carried the message of a working-class struggle for liberation from the exploitation by mostly British plantation companies.
Sri Lanka became independent in 1948 and the community believes that it became the first community marked out for discrimination by the new state of Ceylon in 1948. In the elections to the first parliament of Ceylon, seven Indian Tamil representatives were returned to Parliament. The plantation workers voted either for Indian Tamil candidates or for Lanka Sama Samaja Party candidates. Dr.N.M.Perera was the leader of the opposition in the 1st parliament and the Lanka Sama Samaja Party was the second largest party after the United National Party.
Disenfranchisement :
Tea is one of the highest earners of GNP of Sri Lanka.
The first Prime Minister, D.S. Senanayake of the conservative United National Party reacting to the possibilities of losing power to leftist political parties, commenced the task of weakening the leftist parties and their associate organizations. Indian Tamil labor had overwhelmingly supported these organizations. According opposition parties he was also influenced by segments of the majority Sinhalese population who felt their voting strength was diluted due to Indian Tamils. He introduced the Ceylon Citizenship Act of 1948, the Indian-Pakistani Citizenship act of 1949 and amended the parliamentary elections act and disfranchised the Indian Tamils along with many persons of Indian and Pakistani ancestry.
As they had no means of electing any one to the Parliament they ceased to be the concern of parliamentary politicians. The plantation workers were thus forgotten from 1948 - 1964. They were unable to profit by any progressive legislation. The housing, health and education of the plantation workers were neglected. Infant mortality was highest in the country. Although since the introduction of universal franchise in 1931, strong traditions of social welfare in Sri Lanka have given the island very high indicators of physical well-being. Impressive national statistics tended to hide the existence of deprived pockets within the population and the most deprived population group has been the plantation labor, which had been economically, politically and socially deprived.[8]
Donoughmore Commission :
The Donoughmore Commission of 1928 recommended universal franchise, and this was also meant to include the plantation workers as well. Page 57 of the report proposed.
"In the first place we consider it very desirable that a qualification of five years residence in the Island (allowing the temporary absence not exceeding eight months in all during the five years period) should be introduced in order that the privilege of voting should be confined to those who have an abiding interest in the country or who may be regarded as permanently settled in the Island.... this condition will be of particular importance in its application to the Indian immigrant population. Secondly, we consider that the registration of voters should not be compulsory or automatic but should be restricted to those who apply for it...".
However, the very concept of Universal Franchise was anathema to most of the political leaders of that era. Ponnambalam Raman than, a highly respected leader, opposed universal franchise as he felt that the caste system was an integral part of the Hindu way of life(,[13] p16), and led a delegation to London seeking to legally enshrine the caste hierarchy, and dethrone universal franchise. The Kandyan Sinhalese also objected to the enfranchisement of the Indian estate workers as they feared that their electoral base would be diluted by a large influx of Indian Tamil votes. They also argued that the Tea estates were land plundered by the British, and that the Kandyan peasants have been driven from their traditional lands and those injustices would be compounded if the Indian workers were legitimized. Governor Stanley, by an order in Council introduced restrictions on the citizenship of Indian workers to make the Donoughmore proposals acceptable to the Ceylonese leaders. Thus the first state council of 1931, which consisted of many Tamil and Sinhalese members, agreed to not to enfranchise the majority of the Indian estate workers. (p 36 [13]),
Soul bury Commission:
A decade later, the Soul bury Commission, which paved the way for the independence of Ceylon recognized the "anxieties arising out of the likelihood of large-scale enfranchisement of the Indian immigrants".
, The Commission, therefore, left the existing basis of franchise in Sri Lanka undisturbed ([14] .D. S. Senanayake had led the 1941 talks with Sir G. S. Bajpai of India and had reach agreement on modalities of repatriation and citizenship, although they were finally not ratified by Indian prime minister Nehru.
D. S. Senanayake had expressed the wish to "EMBRACE all Indian workers who integrate into the country as members of the Ceylonese nation" and had been relatively sympathetic, as early as 1928, and as late as 1941,to the granting of citizenship to Indian workers who wished to become permanent residents of the Island.
The Soulbury constitution came into effect in 1946. In trying to cobble an all-party cabinet inclusive of the Tamils, led by G. G. Ponnambalam, the Sinhalese nationalist groups led by S. W. R. D Bandaranaike, the Kandyan Sinhalese, Senanayake had to find a compromise formula.
The 1947 elections had returned 6 representatives from the Ceylon Indian Congress (CIC), based on the votes of the franchised Indian workers and hill-country Tamils. Although this worried the Kandyans, the main reason for Senanayake and others to review their attitude to Indian workers was the growing threat of Marxist infiltration into estate TRADE unions. In this he had won the concurrence of G

Campaign season is upon us! Our first group of the summer (winter here) has arrived and things are getting off to a great start. The focus of most of the campaign work this year will be the new congregation at Niro Chini. In anticipation of this, Elly Martin built a new portable baptistry. This will be a great tool. Previously we had to drive almost an hour across town to get to the baptistry at ACSOP. We look forward to wearing this new tool out in the Lord's service.
We have another new tool for this year's campaigns. Thanks to the sale of a previous truck, along with some donations from kind supporters, the Andrew Connally School of Preaching has been able to purchase a new (to us) van. Less than a week after purchase we have already been putting the van to work in transporting hard-working campaigners to and from the airport, the work area, and the school. The van is also useful for transporting students and translators during evangelist efforts. We thank God and His people for providing this wonderful tool to the school.
We are delighted to welcome our beloved co-worker, Cy Stafford, back to Tanzania after his furlough. He was greatly missed while away doing the necessary evil that is fund-raising.
Cy was accompanied back by Tom Watkins who is doing some work this week in Namanga, at the Kenya border. A small group arrives today from Oklahoma to make evangelistic efforts in the Usa River area. Meanwhile, we are facilitating these efforts, handling logistics, and working hand in hand with our guests from the States. As you can see, things are busy, busy, busy, and getting more so by the day. The next couple of months should be action-packed and exciting as we see God at work in the people of His kingdom.
A group from the Town Acres church in Muncie, Indiana is here now getting our campaign season kicked off in a great way. Their efforts have already yielded several baptisms and many studies. We have even been able to witness one passionate Muslim man confess that Jesus is the Son of God. The church rewarded the campaigners' efforts with a fellowship meal, providing the opportunity to enjoy some delicious, authentic African cuisine.
Back in 1990 a missionary visited the Rift Valley area of Kenya. There he taught and baptized Pius Ngetich. Twenty five years later, Pius is now a student at ACSOP, where he is preparing for a promising career of sharing with others the gospel message that he first received all those years ago.
Today we had the pleasure of worshipping with the Ngordoto congregation, located in a remote area on the side of Mt. Meru. We had some delays along the way and got terribly lost. Our path took us through mud holes, across creeks, down footpaths, and through animal herds, but we finally arrived... 1 hour 45 minutes late. Yet judging from the fact that there were no empty seats, not a single soul had given up on us and left. Can you imagine that in America?
Starting so late, you might expect that there would be an abbreviated service. Not so! Those Christians put in a full 3 hours of worship and study just like they would have otherwise. They didn't "short change" the Lord any time just because we were running late.
The Tanzanians, especially away from the city, are much more "event-orientied" than they are "time-oriented." Sometimes that's a little aggravating to us westerners, but when it comes to worship maybe they're on to something. What if we took down the clocks and just gave worship as much time as it needed to do it right? I know that there are various reasons why that may not be very practical in a lot of places, but there may still be something to say for slowing down and letting worship have its time. Just food for thought.

What past experience or qualifications are needed to become a Mediator?
It can often seem that to become a mediator you need various different academic qualifications such as a background in law, social work or a psychology degree etc.
None of these are requirements to train to be a mediator.
The trainers that provide our mediation course have all had extensive experience in mediation in a range of different fields and extensive experience of training people to become Mediators and are committed to taking the mystery and complexity out of the practice.
Some of our longest standing mediator-trainers do not have a degree - it is not a requirement to become a Mediator.
Once trainees have become a mediator we offer ongoing practice support as well as business development support where this is wanted.
Click here for examples of people who have gone on to develop as individual freelance mediators.
What is needed to become an effective mediator is a continuous commitment to self-reflection, development of self-awareness, a recognition of others' capacities to create their own answers to their difficulties and a willingness to acknowledge that we all, (including mediators!), struggle with unresolved conflict and communication breakdown and that they can be opportunities for learning, change and growth.

The CAOS approach to mediation training supports a particular approach to unresolved conflict.
Many approaches to unresolved conflict seek to suppress it.
At CAOS we are interested in supporting the creative and constructive expression of conflict.
Many approaches to unresolved conflict seek to avoid it.
At CAOS we are interested in supporting the creative and constructive engagement with conflict.
When you become a Mediator via the CAOS approach to mediation training, you will learn and practise the skills that provide that support.

To look at how you perceive and respond to others involved in unresolved conflict.
It is important to develop that 'mindfulness' about our own responses to conflict and how we tend to communicate in the midst of a conflict so that we are able to maintain a disciplined approach to our role as a Mediator.
CAOS Conflict Management has helped many people train to be a mediator, whether as individuals intending to develop their own private practice or within organisations such as Brunel University in West London (where we have also trained staff in Conflict Coaching skills) and The Bridge Housing Services in Charnwood, Leicestershire.
Both of these organisations have regularly received our training and support in order to enable them to provide an effective mediation service as part of their operational activity.

Morag Steven Director of Common Ground Mediation, Edinburgh, Scotland.
"In my 20 years experience as an academic this is the best 'in-service' training I have experienced."
"Very challenging but also excellent opportunity to acquire new skills. The skills are useful not just as a mediator but also in other workplace situations and throughout your life. Training is well thought through/structured over 6 days so you have a chance to learn through trial and error.
Really enjoyed the course and thank you to Alan and Susie for their enthusiasm and encouragement!"
"I really enjoyed the course. It met my expectations and more. I felt that the environment created by Alan and Susie was very relaxed and trusting. I always felt comfortable, and always felt I was able to ask questions no matter how small/silly they seemed. The small group also meant that i got to know people really well, and this made the role plays/activities comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Alan and Susie!"
"Just a quick update, everything's going really well. I've got 16 open cases at the minute, and on average have two appointments a day!"

The biggest name associated with the Brooklyn Nets now has his sights on bigger things.
Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter is looking to divest his share of ownership in the Nets to expand his sports representation business to the NBA, Yahoo reports. Carter's Roc Nation Sports, which is partnered with powerful Creative Artists Agency, recently secured Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano as a client. The company would need Carter to sell his small share of the Nets to avoid any conflict of interest before securing the NBA and players association's approval to represent players.
Carter owns less than 1 percent of the Nets but has been their most visible front-office face since the franchise moved to Brooklyn last year. According to Yahoo, Carter would not handle any contract negotiations or day-to-day business with athletes.

Deloitte: Helping Businesses Evolve to Pursue the Vision of a Kinetic EnterpriseTM
Follow Deloitte on :
Darwin Deano, Global SAP Chief Technology Officer, Liz Fasciana, Global SAP Offering Leader, Jan Waals, Global SAP Chief Commercial Officer and Abdi Goodarzi, US SAP Offering Leader
Deloitte leadership in the enterprise technology realm—and in the SAP partner ecosystem— requires no introduction. The firm's collection of SAP® Pinnacle awards (more than any other SAP partner), the analyst accolades, the achievements, the breadth of cutting-edge offerings and—most importantly—the client successes and endorsements all speak for themselves.
With great success and experience in enabling business value with SAP technologies, Deloitte has realized a need to disrupt business transformation ideology—from "built to last" to "built to evolve"—to help businesses thrive in this age of rapid, perpetual change.
"We've realized that 'built to last" is outdated because the traditional focus of business transformation was to deliver value at 'go live.' But we've proven several times that the technology has evolved to deliver business value anytime," says Jan Waals, Global SAP Chief Commercial Officer at Deloitte. "For example, at a Fortune 500 consumer client, we leveraged SAP HANA® and machine learning to enable a 30% reduction in cash application operational costs in parallel to defining the business case for the broader transformation. Why wait for value?"
"Whether it is macro factors like recession, trade wars and industry consolidations, or targeted topics like the evolution of SAP technology, no business can sit still," says Liz Fasciana, Global SAP Offering Leader at Deloitte."Our clients need the ability to keep pace with the business—to establish and orchestrate key capabilities like cloud, central finance, machine learning and advanced analytics, to pivot on demand and be ever-ready. In other words, to be a Kinetic Enterprise™."
"The traditional business and IT operating models have been focused on specialization. In the cloud era, it is all about bringing it together – orchestrating different capabilities, services, applications, data, and business partners and making them work seamlessly, to ultimately drive and deliver value"
With the Kinetic Enterprise, Deloitte is helping clients reimagine business against the backdrop of ever-changing technology, geopolitical, and economic scenarios. And it goes beyond ERP or, more broadly, technology in general. "Through the breadth and depth of our capabilities, we understand that this is about more than just SAP technology. Businesses need to incorporate intelligence, embrace cloud, and integrate business and architecture ecosystems while maintaining the discipline to challenge unnecessary customization," says Abdi Goodarzi, US SAP Offering Leader at Deloitte.
"The traditional business and IT operating models have been focused on specialization. In the cloud era, it is all about bringing it together—orchestrating different capabilities, services, applications, data, and business partners and making them work seamlessly, to ultimately drive and deliver value," says Darwin Deano, Global SAP Chief Technology Officer for Deloitte.
Businesses need to incorporate intelligence, embrace cloud, and integrate business and architecture ecosystems while maintaining the discipline to challenge unnecessary customization
"Pursuing the Kinetic Enterprise will help them transition from the traditional 'built to last' practices to embracing the 'built to evolve' ideology. Of course, the Deloitte-SAP synergy is a big part of the equation."
Kinetic Energy for Riding the Waves of Change
Deloitte defines the essence of the Kinetic Enterprise based on four pillars:
• Clean. It runs with a clean core, free from the business and technical debt that limits agility. It adheres tightly to leading practices enforced through rock-solid governance—freeing itself to embrace a "why not" attitude and innovate from the core to the edge.
• Intelligent. It enables enterprises to leverage intelligent automation technologies that unleash human potential.
• Inclusive. Its ecosystem of applications, services, and capabilities is extensive and diverse—going beyond the "usual" data, processes, and tools.
• Responsive. It responds rapidly to new demands, needs, and opportunities—leveraging the power of cloud to evolve at the pace of disruption.
Aligned with the Kinetic Enterprise is Deloitte's Reimagine Platform, which taps the power of SAP® Cloud Platform capabilities such as machine learning to simplify technology and business complexity—driven by a "clean" ERP approach for minimizing business and technical debt.
"We have a portfolio of more than 60 microservices and applications that leverage machine learning, IoT, and analytics capabilities to deliver value using SAP technologies," says Waals. Meanwhile, on the responsiveness front, the prowess of Deloitte's OpenCloud and cloud managed services comes into play. "Deloitte has strategic alliances with the major cloud hyperscalers to enable industry-leading cloud services, which allows us to help clients focus on the business objective instead of which cloud partner to choose," says Fasciana.
With a plethora of cloud-based platforms and purpose-built solutions at their disposal, it can be a daunting task for companies to navigate the market and identify the best-fit solution. For instance, consider solutions for cutting-edge analytics. While the functionalities and purposes of two offerings might be similar, there could be several distinctions, with each best fitting specific use cases. An entity such as Deloitte, which has immense experience with deploying these offerings, can help clients identify the "right" choice. The same holds true for adopting various cloud platforms and leveraging the combination of specific solutions and the measurable business value that they can bring. "We have cloud tax services to help self-fund a business transformation as well as our Total Cloud Value Calculator to help you understand the total cost to own and evolve, and the total value and benefit that you can get from the cloud," says Goodarzi.
Despite the fact that Deloitte is a relative newcomer in broader cloud services, IDC and Gartner have already recognized the company as a market leader for cloud managed services and cloud professional services. The company has also received top recognition from SAP as the Digital Partner of the Year—winning the inaugural SAP Pinnacle Award for that category.
Practicing What They Preach: Enabling The Deloitte Digital Twin
SAP's recent acquisition of Qualtrics will add more flair to the proven synergistic partnership between Deloitte and SAP. Qualtrics' offerings address management of the human experience, helping to power a full-fledged Kinetic Enterprise. "Most organizations today fail to recognize the value of experience management," says Goodarzi. "Be it customers, employees, or vendors, business outcomes are a result of these stakeholders' experience."
Just as Deloitte has embraced SAP technology as one of the biggest SAP S/4HANA® customers itself, the firm has begun integrating intelligent automation with human experience to unleash the "Deloitte Digital Twin"—to increase speed to value and enhance quality and efficiency in serving clients. The early results of pursuing this new way of client service has already yielded impressive results. "So far, we've reduced functional design effort by 40%, achieved 5× faster technical development, automated project management, and accelerated testing by at least 60%," says Deano. "Not surprisingly, these early results are already helping inspire companies to embrace experience and intelligent automation to evolve their businesses."
The Launchpad for Targeted Innovation
Deloitte's Kinetic Enterprise changes the business transformation from a "one-time activity" to a "perpetual responsibility"—one that entails all stakeholders, processes, and aspects of an enterprise ecosystem. To help clients achieve that vision, Deloitte helps break down enterprise silos, automate every process that can be automated, and leverage the power of cognitive technologies for insights into processes—thanks in part to the SAP Cloud Platform and an array of microservices and capabilities that the Deloitte Reimagine Platform delivers.
Many clients that approach Deloitte with their most challenging technology and business problems often want to keep up with the unparalleled pace of change. "Whether it is the pursuit of higher margins in the consumer sector, the need to respond to the latest tax mandates, the implications of Brexit, or pursuing a growth strategy in China, Deloitte works side by side with clients to help them deliver results that often go beyond their expectations," says Fasciana.
The Kinetic Enterprise is a calling for all businesses to achieve all four pillars: intelligent, clean, responsive, and inclusive. When a business addresses all these areas, success is inevitable, according to Deano. But when companies focus on only one or two areas, the potential is significantly sub-optimized.
Deloitte's breadth of business and technology capabilities and experience helps it realize the Kinetic Enterprise—to solve clients' real-world problems with unprecedented speed to value. Waals recalls an instance in which the company deployed SAP S/4HANA® Cloud for a client in a matter of 28 days. In comparison, many companies often take that amount of time just to plan a project.
Going forward, Deloitte understands the importance of having a lesser emphasis on one-time solutions. The need is to adopt a multidimensional and unified approach for uplifting the enterprise ecosystem as a whole—and develop the reusable capabilities that enable the business to pivot at any time. It will be the name of the game for enterprises to succeed in 2020 and beyond. Deloitte, as a strategic partner, has already sharpened its edge to guide enterprises in this journey—to help them be built to evolve.

Meet Charles
Note from Councilmember Allen on Improving Public Safety
Posted by Erik Salmi on October 23, 2019
Text of a note emailed to Ward 6 residents on planning a Ward 6 Public Safety meeting and providing an update on ongoing public safety efforts.
If you would like to receive future emails, you can sign-up here.
"Over the past week and a half, I've met with neighbors in Shaw, Southwest, H Street, and Capitol Hill to talk about recent gun violence. We need to begin by making clear that every single person deserves to live in a safe community and that gun violence creates deep trauma that is felt not just by those directly impacted by a bullet, but the impacts ripple across family members, witnesses, neighbors, and residents throughout a community.
I wanted to reach out to update you on our office's efforts to prevent violence and ensure our neighborhoods are safe for everyone. I think there's an opportunity to make this a bigger and more engaging conversation that gives all of us concrete steps to take to improve public safety for everyone. My office will be hosting a community meeting in the coming weeks that goes beyond the traditional effort of a few city leaders standing in front of room to field questions, but rather, creates a space for accountability and action. I want this to be a chance to come together and proactively work on solutions beyond the usual meetings where we simply provide updates on recent crimes. I will share more information once we have the details in a future newsletter and on social media.
For now, though, let me share a few updates. And my apologies in advance, but as public safety is a very complicated topic that we're addressing in many different ways simultaneously, this is going to be a long note.
The last few weeks have been particularly hard for all of us. We've lost neighbors to gun violence, and their families and friends are now grieving. Residents are understandably shaken. We know violence works like a disease, even for those not directly impacted, spreading trauma and pain. None of this is normal, and none of us should accept any violence as part of living in the District. In recent days, I've reached out to and met with some of the victims and their families to support them. I have also been working closely with MPD Commanders in the First, Third, and Fifth Districts to get real-time updates on investigations and understand their plan of action going forward.
As the Chair of the Council's Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, it's my job to push for the necessary resources to be in place to improve public safety. In the new budget, which started on October 1, I fully funded MPD's requested number of full-time employees to allow staffing to keep up with our growing city's demands. I worked with the Mayor to extend the Senior Police Officer program to retain some of our most experienced sergeants and detectives – officers who work serious cases – who otherwise would have been forced to retire. We also continued a new pre-arrest diversion program so officers don't have to spend their valuable time trying to solve behavioral and mental health challenges that our social services agencies are better suited to address.
However, the District's public safety strategy can't only be a police response. We have to pull all levers at the same time. We've tripled the funding for violence interruption programs in the District starting this month, which means more violence interrupters will be working in the community to build relationships at the street level and work to head off conflict. That includes increased funding for the very successful Pathways Program, which pulls young adults most at-risk for committing violence or being the victim of a violent crime off the street and places them in an intensive job training and emotional and behavioral support program. Pathways has graduated three cohorts already, with a high rate of post-program employment. I also supported the work of Attorney General Karl Racine by increasing staffing for his office's restorative justice program for young people as an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system in certain cases.
In looking at the violence we're seeing in neighborhoods across the District, it's clear there are just too many illegal guns on the street, and I've taken steps to address that as well. Last year, I increased the penalties for anyone caught with a high-capacity magazine, which only serves to fire more bullets faster. For the same reason, we also banned so-called "bump stocks." And I created the District's "Red Flag Law" to allow concerned police, loved ones, and mental health professionals to take guns – including illegal guns -- out of the hands of people in a dangerous situation or mindset who would use them to do harm. I've spoken with too many mothers and grandmothers in the aftermath of a tragic shooting who wished they had been able to do something to get a gun out of the house. Now they can.
Our gun laws are among the strongest in the nation, but we live next to Virginia, which the Giffords Law Center gives a "D" for their gun laws. Following a hearing I held on regional gun trafficking earlier this month, the Washington Post wrote about the regional and federal challenges we have to overcome in order to stem the tide of illegal guns into the District. Without question, the majority of illegal guns recovered here come from Virginia. This is not to excuse anyone who carries a gun, which will always be unacceptable and comes with consequences. But we need to acknowledge even as MPD pulls more than 2,000 guns off our streets annually, more guns come in. I asked our federal partners at the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to be part of the conversation, to talk about federal efforts to fight gun trafficking and share data on tracking gun crimes from arrest to prosecution, but they refused to attend.
Strong laws and enforcement are critical, but there's a wide range of other ways to approach improving public safety. For example, the gym at Greenleaf Recreation Center in Southwest has been closed for months. That's unacceptable, and I've escalated the problem to the City Administrator. Over in Shaw, children are heading home in the dark by themselves once Kennedy Recreation Center closes for the evening – we need more programming and a safe passage plan. Rec centers and libraries are spaces for children who might have very few opportunities in their daily life to safely play, study, eat, and let their guard down. I also helped fund an increase in mental health services available in schools in this year's budget so our children can process and cope with the trauma many carry with them daily.
A quick glance at school funding shows our at-risk dollars, meant to reach the students who need the most extra support, aren't always making it to the classrooms teaching these kids, something I've introduced legislation to address. It's not that at-risk students are causing violence, but it is about recognizing where our systems are failing children and what we can do to ensure the resources and supports are in place for them to succeed.
We also have so much to do together to improve reentry after someone returns home to the District from prison. Successful reintegration into society is in everyone's best interest, because it prevents reoffending. For someone with a criminal record, getting a job is incredibly hard. Most recently on this front, I introduced legislation to make it easier for someone with a record to apply for an occupational license and open doors to meaningful careers.
As I said at the beginning, this was going to be a long note because it's a very complicated issue. As a Ward 6 neighbor, I want you to know what I've been working on to make our community safer. Like many other parents, I've also had to talk with my children about gun violence when we hear shots fired near our home. I've personally experienced gun violence and take seriously protecting the safety of our residents. It's also my job to look at the big picture clearly, to evaluate what is working to reduce crime, to pursue evidence-based interventions, and recognize it will take more than policing to reduce violence. My mission is to make the District of Columbia both a safe and a just city, and I know you're there with me.
Please keep an eye out for more information on that Ward 6 Public Safety Meeting – we need to have your participation and perspective.

Q: Better GDB Usability for Call Stack Overflows Can GDB detect call stack overflows typically in infinite recursion bugs and print some nice error and context message instead of the code given below which is very hard to understand for novices and very inconvenient for all of us. In this case it would be super-cool if GDB could detect which objects (pointers) that were involved in the infinite recursion loop by checking repetitive patterns in the (member-) function- or variable-pointers involved. I'm using gdb-7.3-dev on Ubuntu. Output follows:

/Per

A: Gdb cannot really do this as the stack overflow detection is generally implemented by the compiler. The general way compilers implement this is with canaries. The canary is a value on the stack (the location is between the local variables and the stack frame) that is checked if it got overwritten. The problem with stack overflows is that you end with a damaged stack and the call stack is often not useful. A way around this is to set a watchpoint on the canary location with the br command. So it will break right at the point when the canary is getting overwritten

Noticed lately that my joystick (Logitech Wingman Force 3d) seems "loose". What I mean by this is that when it is just sitting on the desk, if I nudge it is easly moves around before I can get resistance. It's not a huge amount (perhaps 3/4 of a cm) any given way, but I find it most disturbing.
Any way to fix this without buying a new stick? I've heard of people changing springs, and I really am unsure about this procedure, but perhaps you guys (and gals) could enlighten me.
Buying a new stick is not an option, so I'd like to fix this one up as best as possible with the lowest amount of $$$.
Those calibration sliders in FB (and in IL2) confuse me. Could somebody care to explain how they work exactly? Also, what are the best settings for my stick?
Try the technical forum for a sensible answer.
In the mean-time, try setting up the dead zone to match your joy-stick's sloppy zone.
The dead zone should (probably) be configured from the joystick driver ... but can also be configured from IL2/Fb controls.
I wrote a long page about this yesterday that took me a long time to get accurate yet remain simple, and the damn message board hasn't appended it to the thread! Lost in the etheral!
That's the last time I try to help anyone using this dodgy excuse for a message-board; I'm far too busy to waste my time like that.
I got the same damn problem with a Logitech Wingman Attack 2 joystick. Flying steady and then all of the sudden the plane pulls to the right without even moving the joystick.
Logitech Wingman Force 3d !!Piece of Junk!!, Logitech turned my Money into it, and then I know the Black Magic turly does exist.
I could never trust Logitech again. That old ugly b1tch.
- the Black Magic turly does exist.
When I have the funds I'll proabably get the MSFFB2.
I was on the phone yesterday to Logitech and I'm getting my Extreme 3D Digital RMAed because it too got sloppy, but in my case I actually felt something go.
Before that, the pot in the twist handle was acting up.
The quality of Logitech sticks is questionable, but ergonomically, they are WAY more comfortable for me than anything made by Micro$oft.
Anyway, if your stick is still under warranty, I would give them a call and see what they say.
- than anything made by Micro$oft.
- would give them a call and see what they say.
Good idea... I'll call them and see what they say.

Q: MongoDB using duplicate function to print different field db.collection.aggregate([{"$group" : {"_id": "$fieldA", "count": {"$sum": 1}}},{"$match":{"_id" :{"$ne":null}, "count" : {"$gt":1}}},{"$project": {"fieldA":"$_id", "_id" : 0}}]);
I am currently using this code to find duplicates however I actually want to print fieldB and not fieldA. By using the above I believe I have created a subset? Is there a simple way to print only fieldB?
ie. I want to print {"_id":0, "fieldB":1}
The only method I can think of is naming this subset and then joining with the original and then printing just fieldB but that doesn't seem efficient.

A: To see the last fieldB you can do something like this:
$last:
playground1
( But here if there is different fieldB per duplicated fieldA you will not find out )
Or to see the all fieldB for the duplicated filedA you can do something like this:
$push:
playground2
db.collection.aggregate([
{
"$group": {
  "_id": "$fieldA",
  "count": {
    "$sum": 1
  },
  fieldB: {
    $push: "$fieldB"
  }
 }
},
{
 "$match": {
  "_id": {
    "$ne": null
   },
  "count": {
    "$gt": 1
   }
  }
 },
 {
  "$project": {
  "fieldA": "$_id",
  "fieldB": 1,
  "_id": 0
  }
 }
])

Candidates must meet criteria established by the AOBNP to enter the final pathway process. They must enter at the beginning of the certification process and participate in the first available exam administration. They will have two attempts to pass each step of the exam. Candidates who were not successful in becoming certified at the end of the final pathway have no further opportunity to become certified in their specialty.
If a candidate feels that the actions of the AOBNP with regard to any part of the examination constitute unequal application of the regulations and requirements or standards, unwarranted discrimination, prejudice, unfairness or improper conduct of the examination, he or she has the right to appeal to this Board.
Appeals to the board must be made in writing to the chair of the Board stating the reasons for the appeal and should include any applicable appeal fee as well as any supporting documentation for proper review of the case. The appeal must be mailed within 30 days of receiving exam results.
The AOBNP will not consider appeals based on exam content, sufficiency or accuracy of answers to exam questions, scoring of the exam, and/or the determination of the minimum passing score. If an appeal is denied by the AOBNP, the candidate retains the right to appeal to the AOA Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists (BOS).
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): The AOBNP complies with requirements prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, state and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, and transportation, as well as regulations for Title II and Title III (and all subsequent regulations) as printed in the federal register.

Home India News Politics Laxmi Ratan Shukla takes a break from politics, refuses to endorse TMC's 2021 re-election
In a big development, former West Bengal Minister of State for Youth Services and Sports Laxmi Ratan Shukla refused to endorse the re-election of the TMC government in 2021. Shukla, who resigned from his post on Tuesday, reckoned that Mamata Banerjee's chances of returning as CM depends on her track record in office. He added, "My best wishes are with everyone". In another veiled dig at TMC, Shukla opined that he did not believe in countering violence with violence.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, the ex-all-rounder revealed that he was taking a break from politics to focus on cricket. At the same time, the TMC leader clarified that he would complete his term as an MLA. Thanking the party for giving him many opportunities, Shukla affirmed that he will continue to work for the welfare of the people. While his international career was limited to three ODIs, he played 137 first-class games for Bengal scoring 6217 runs at an average of 35.93 besides bagging 172 wickets at an average of 34.75.
I've done politics as honestly as I've played cricket. My identity as a cricketer is the most fundamental. For now, I'll focus on sports. I'll complete my term as MLA...Since I'm going to take break from politics, question of joining a party doesn't arise: Laxmi Ratan Shukla, TMC https://t.co/4FTpSBd1Rx pic.twitter.com/Lc7UwXED2Z

'Huge problem ahead of the 2021 election'
A day earlier, Bally MLA Baishali Dalmiya laid bare the chinks within TMC. Speaking exclusively to Republic TV, Dalmiya claimed that some elements wanted to finish TMC from within. Expressing dismay over Shukla's decision, she attributed his unhappiness to a few leaders at the local level. Moreover, the daughter of former BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya opined that the exodus of leaders would pose a big challenge for TMC ahead of the 2021 WB Assembly polls.
TMC MLA Baishali Dalmiya remarked, "There are back biters, backstabbers and silent killers who are trying to finish the party from within. I want to pinpoint and remove such people. I was stunned yesterday that former cricketer Laxmi Ratan Shukla had to leave despite working for the party. While I am observing that many people are leaving the party in the last few days, I know Laxmi for many years. We have worked together. If people continue to leave like this, it will be a huge problem ahead of the 2021 election. Leaders are unhappy because of two-four persons."

When I was a little kid, my father brought me a money box in order to save up some money. When it got filled up to the top, he would just cut off the existing one and deposit the money to the bank and bring me another one. So I had quite a wide collection of money boxes of various colors and shapes and sizes. That time, I didn't know the meaning or value of saving but I saved money because I always needed to get a new money box which comes after the piling up in this one.


Camping is a great way to travel, get back to nature, and experience more peaceful activities. It is also not the best time to pack your entire cosmetic bag or all your hair products. Camping should be a time when you embrace your more natural, freshest face.
However, we know that skimping on the products is not easy for everyone. The young woman who usually wears six inches of cover-up may struggle, for example. While it is in poor taste to spend all your time putting on makeup you will surely sweat off, we know when you travel you still want to look have a healthy appearance. So, some products are absolutely must-haves on a camping trip.
When it comes to packing for your camping trip, go ahead and plan on leaving most of your beauty products at home. Instead, if you pack just these few items, you will look natural, healthy, and you will avoid smelling like you live outdoors.
Be sure to pack some body-cleansing wipes. Many of these cleansing wipes are also designed to leave you smelling clean and perfumed. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel after a hike when you simply cleanse your body of sweat and dirt.
Take care of your skin by packing sunscreen. When you camp, you will spend most of your time outdoors exposed to the sun. Ending up sunburnt is a quick way to spoil your lovely camping adventure. I'd choose a sunscreen that is not oily since your natural oils will be working hard out in the elements.
Packing face wipes is an absolute necessity when you are camping. Whether you are in a tent or an RV, a face wipe is essential for getting rid of the muck from the day. While you are in the RV toilet, face wipes come in handy to help you freshen up.
Don't forget to take care of your smile and your teeth. Packing your toothbrush and toothpaste are musts for your camping adventure. Another essential you should include in your bag is your favorite lip balm with the SPF. These essentials are necessary for taking care of your smile while you are on the road.
No one expects you to have glamorous hair when you are camping. In fact, you'd look silly (and feel silly) if you try to follow an intensive hair routine when you are exploring your natural surroundings. Plus, depending on where you camp, you may not have easy access to a shower.
Therefore, one of the most important beauty products to take when you travel is a fantastic dry shampoo. With multiple brands on the market for various hair colors and hair types, choose the dry shampoo that works for you. Not only will dry shampoo help your hair look clean and healthy, but many dry shampoos also smell nice. Finally, don't forget your brush and hair ties!
