Rossanna Contreras-Godfrey has been appointed director of the Office of Learning to Learn, Provost and Dean of Faculties David Quigley has announced. She had served as interim director since the retirement of longtime director Dan Bunch.
The Office of Learning to Learn houses the Student Support Services and the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate programs, both federally funded. Learning to Learn seeks to support all Boston College students, particularly those who are first-generation, low-income or other underrepresented college students or those with a disability, while providing a nurturing environment where they can achieve their full potential.
Contreras-Godfrey began her Boston College career in 1997 when she joined Learning to Learn as assistant director. She taught Applications of Learning Theory and established one of Learning to Learn's signature programs, the College Transition Program, which brings a select group of students to campus for a two-week program the summer before freshman year to help them get acclimated to BC and the college environment.
From 2001-03, she worked at the University of Massachusetts Boston as director of GEAR UP, a program that helped prepare low-income high school and middle school students for success in college. She returned to Learning to Learn in 2003 as assistant director and then associate director of the McNair Program, creating programs and obtaining grant funding to help prepare low-income, first-generation, and other underrepresented students for pathways to doctoral programs and careers in research and academia.
"Rossanna has committed her entire career to college access and persistence for first-generation and low-income students," said Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs Akua Sarr. "She is a highly experienced administrator, grant writer, and strategic thinker, and I'm thrilled that she has agreed to take on the important role of leading the Learning to Learn Office on a permanent basis."
"Learning to Learn is focused on the needs of many students, but especially the first-generation student," said Contreras-Godfrey, who is a resident of Boston. "We want to let students know we are here to help them and walk with them and support them.
"We are a very diverse office and when students come through our door I feel they can see someone who reflects them and that puts them at ease," she continued. "Our wonderful staff is very, very committed to helping students through their challenges, and celebrating their successes."
Contreras-Godfrey has served as a member of BC's Oscar A. Romero Scholarship Committee. She is a member of the Church in the 21st Century Advisory Board and the Chica Project, and treasurer of the University's Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Committee. She earned a bachelor's degree and doctorate in higher education administration from Boston College and holds a master's degree from Boston University.

New BMW 4 Series price, release date & specs Carbuyer
September 28, 2020 0 Comments 108
New BMW 4 Series price, release date specs
The new BMW 4 Series coupe goes on sale later this year, with the BMW M4 out Summer 2014
The new BMW 4 Series coupe replaces the previous BMW 3 Series Coupe in the brand's range of executive cars. The BMW 4 Series name applies to the coupe and forthcoming convertible, to distinguish these sportier models from the more sensible BMW 3 Series saloon and Touring (estate) versions.
The BMW 3 and 4 Series range will be organised according to body style, so the saloon, Touring, GT (a sleeker shaped version of the saloon with a bigger boot) and Gran Coupe (a larger and more expensive version of the saloon with coupe looks) will be labelled as a 3 Series, while the coupe and convertible models will be called the BMW 4 Series.
BMW 4 Series price and release date
The BMW 4 Series goes on sale on 5 October in the UK, priced from £31,575 for the entry-level 420d diesel model. Only that and the 428i and 435i petrol models will be available from launch, with the 420i, 430d and 435d versions appearing later on.
BMW's four-wheel drive system called xDrive will be available for the 420i, 420d and 435d, though this probably won't be offered straight away. Five specifications will be available when the car launches: SE, Sport, Modern, Luxury and M Sport. There will also be a BMW M4 later on, for buyers looking for a high-performance coupe.
BMW 4 Series specs
The new BMW 4 Series uses the company's EfficientDynamics technology to improve efficiency and economy. This includes aerodynamic exterior designs, start-stop technology for the engines and electric power steering. The entry-level 420d model returns 60.1mpg and 124g/km emissions, and the 428i petrol gets 42.8mpg and 154g/km.
However, the top spec 435i gets just 35.8mpg and 185g/km emissions.
The new 4 Series has a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but owners can opt for an eight-speed automatic gearbox if they prefer. With this gearbox one can change gear using steering wheel-mounted paddles and allows use of a launch control system that helps the car get away from a standstill even faster than normal.
New BMW M4
We expect BMW to release a new performance model of the 4 Series, called the BMW M4, following its long tradition of producing very fast coupe models of its 3 Series range. The BMW M435i with a host of upgrades will be shown at the Pebble Beach show in California in August, giving a glimpse of what the M4 could look like.
The new BMW M4 will use materials to keep it as light as possible and improve performance and economy. The M4 is likely to have completely new suspension and a faster version of the BMW 435i's engine to make it more of a performance-focused sports car. It's likely that the new BMW M4 release date will be sometime in summer 2014.
BMW 4 Series equipment and interior
The BMW 4 Series interior features a leather steering wheel with multimedia controls and 6.5-inch display to make controlling the car's features as easy as possible. The front seats have automatic seatbelt feeders, which present the driver and passenger with the seatbelt when they sit down, while the rear seats are individualy moulded for greater comfort in the back.
The new BMW 4 Series has more standard equipment than the 3 Series coupe, including parking sensors, heated leather front seats, a digital radio, cruise control and air-conditioning. Other equipment includes Bluetooth, as well as automatic lights and automatic wipers. The more expensive 435i, 430d and 435d models all get electric front seats and metallic paint included in the price.
All models above SE get sports seats and 18-inch alloy wheels, while the top M Sport models have sportier suspension, upgraded upholstery and a more aggressive exterior look.
The BMW 4 Series gets options like a media package with sat-nav and speech recognition, a collision detection system that automatically brakes for you, and a parking assist system. There's also an innovative high-beam that automatically reduces glare on the lights to stop them blinding oncoming traffic.
The new 4 Series features sporty exterior looks, with a wide body and a low roofline compared to the current 3 Series coupe. It's also got more aggressive-looking bumpers and vents behind the front wheels that improve both aerodynamics and economy.

In its third year, Giving Tuesday gains momentum
Theresa Agovino
Hallie Tamez walked seven miles in the bitter cold lugging a five-gallon jug of water 10 days ago, and on Tuesday she'll get an idea of whether her journey was a success. The associate director of major gifts at WaterAid America was trying to highlight the difficulties women in the developing world face in accessing water so people would be motivated donate to the charity on Giving Tuesday, which happens Dec. 2.
Giving Tuesday was started three years ago by the 92nd Street Y, a community and cultural organization, and the United Nations Foundation to encourage people to donate time and money to charities, just as Black Friday and Cyber Monday entice people to shop. This year, about 20,000 organizations in the United States are participating, more than double the 8,000 involved in 2013. As the concept gathers steam, more charities are going beyond emails and social media to draw attention to their respective causes.
"We are seeing people get way more creative," said Henry Timms, executive director of the 92nd St. Y. "It's very exciting."
Ms. Tamez said her walk was a way to create a targeted, more strategic campaign. As she walked, she carried a sign that said, "Ask me why?" to invite people to learn about an issue she doesn't believe is on most Americans' radars.
"I wanted to draw people to us," Ms. Tamez said. In 2013, Water Aid raised $230,000, and she hopes to bring in $300,000 this year. The campaign will have help this year from a $150,000 matching program sponsored by four donors.
Determining how much is raised on Giving Tuesday is difficult because there are so many organizations involved and there are different companies processing donations. Still, it appears to be working.
Blackbaud, which processes donations for nonprofits, said giving increased 90%, to $19.2 million, on Giving Tuesday last year, compared with the corresponding day in 2012. Additionally, it said the average gift increased 40%, to $142, from 2012. Meanwhile, Network for Good, which also process donations for nonprofits, said giving increased 74%, to $11.7 million, on Giving Tuesday in 2013, over the same day in 2012.
The day is about more than giving money. It was designed also to inspire people to give back in other ways. The 92nd St. Y will host a blood drive, a clothing drive and a knitting circle where people involved at the center will make hats for patients at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Meanwhile, Heidi Kasevich, head of the history department at the Nightingale-Bamford School, created a curriculum to teach students about giving and philanthropy. The lessons were targeted to different grades at the all-girls, private K-12 school on the Upper East Side. Different age groups raised money for three different charities and had to develop ideas to promote and raise money for their respective nonprofits.
"This year we wanted to teach the students about service, gratitude and giving back," said Ms. Kasevich. "At the same time, they are learning about different issues the nonprofits work in."

Vietnam launches chopper rides in famous bay
A helicopter takes off for an aerial tour of Ha Long Bay. Manan Vatsyayana/AFP
Most visitors to Vietnam's famed Ha Long Bay opt for cruise views of the UNESCO heritage site but from Friday tourists can hop on a helicopter to see the area's famous karst rock formations from the skies.
Nervous flyers beware.
A pair of five-seater helicopters soared up to 300 metres (1,000 feet) to offer passengers aerial views of the limestone towers, cruise ships and the odd houseboat dotting Ha Long's green waters for the maiden flights on Friday.
Helicopter manufacturer Bell said the trips, which start at $125 for 12 minutes, were aimed at tapping into a growing number of tourists to Vietnam — many from the world's second biggest economy.

"With the Chinese economy growing, you're seeing more tourists come here," said David Sale, Bell's managing director for Asia-Pacific.
The number of visitors to Vietnam grew nearly 20 percent last year, with one-third of the total coming from its powerful communist neighbour to the north.
Domestic tourism is also booming among Vietnam's fast-growing middle class with expanding appetites — and budgets — for travel.
Ha Long Bay is one of the country's top draws, with as many as 500 cruise ships in the bay every day and a newly-opened airport helping to funnel visitors into the area.

But the tourist boom has also prompted environmental concerns in the once-pristine bay in Quang Ninh province, also home to home to rapid industrialisation.
"We're under pressure from the coal industry, the urbanisation process, the arrival of more tourists and the population increase," said Le Minh Tan, deputy director of Quang Ninh's tourism department.
He added that a waste-water management system is set to be rolled out soon to deal with sewage spewed out by cruise ships daily.
"We're launching many programs in the area to ensure the environment of Ha Long is green and clean."

Home ENTERTAINMENT CELEBRITY Date or business meeting? Harry Styles was caught dining with Florence...
Date or business meeting? Harry Styles was caught dining with Florence Pugh
Celebrities were captured at a table in a restaurant. But perhaps they were discussing filming a new film together.
On Tuesday, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles were seen at a dinner in a Los Angeles restaurant. An eyewitness took several pictures in which the actors are sitting at the table, chatting and looking relaxed. It is not known what character this meeting was. But it is known that Pugh and Styles will be co-starring in Olivia Wilde's new film Don't Worry Sweetheart, so now they probably have something to discuss over dinner.
When it became known that Florence and Harry would be filming together, the fans of the actress were delighted: it is known that Pugh is a big fan of One Direction, and Styles is its former member.
Perhaps, between Florence and Harry something and tie, but most likely the actress is still in a relationship with the star of "Clinic" Zach Braff. This year Florence had to stand up for her relationship with the actor more than once. Due to the significant age difference, Pugh and Braff's romance has been criticized, the 45-year-old actor is called "too old" for her. Therefore, Florence and Zach keep their personal lives secret and once again do not provoke the public with joint exits or photos on social networks.

Astra interested in entering the capital of Hispasat
Global SES, the operating major of satellites of the world, shows their interest in buying Hispasat if the shareholders of the Spanish operator put their participation for sale
Romain Bausch, Global president of SES, the proprietor of Astra, has confirmed that will present/display a supply to buy participation in Hispasat which they want to sell the Telephone Spaniards, Combines and BBVA. Eutelsat has remembered that it has right of rough estimate as main shareholder of Hispasat.
The shareholder resetting of Hispasat, the Spanish society of satellites of telecommunications, is being so long and complex as the sale of Combines, one of the proprietors who want to go out their capital.
Romain Bausch, the executive president of Global, propietary SES of Astra, one of the three great world-wide partnerships of operation of satellites of telecos, has announced the interest of its group to realize a supply to enter the capital of Hispasat. Bausch conditioned this initiative to that the three Spanish partners of the company who want to desinvertir (Telephone, BBVA and Combines), agree themselves in the conditions of the sale.
Agreeing with the declarations of the SES executive, the French newspaper the Tribune reproduced an interview with the president of Eutelsat, Giuliano Berretta, that remembered its intention to increase the participation that this other giant of the space communications has in Hispasat, where she is already the first shareholder with 27.6% of the capital.
Sources of Eutelsat remembered that this company has right of rough estimate on any shareholder package of Hispasat that is put on sale what, in his opinion, it will prevent the entrance of another great global operator of the sector in the capital of the Spanish society.
The agency of the news mentioned assures that the third great multinational group of the sector, Intelsat, also could have interest in entering the capital of Hispasat.
The shareholder crisis of this Spanish company lasts a year already. Three of their main deprived national shareholders (BBVA with 10.75%, Telephone with 13.23% and Combines with 17.64%) now announced ten months ago their interest to desinvertir in this business. The bank and even Combines initiated the buyer process search.
Nevertheless, the Spanish Government, who controls 34% of Hispasat through different companies and organisms public, maintains paralyzed the sale because he wants to assure an exit to the crisis in which the Spanishness of the company is not lost.
The Government prefers a solution in which the Abertis company takes protagonism, and in that Eutelsat does not increase its control on the society.
Solution: Abertis is let want and waited to make decisions
Abertis, Catalan company that operates the network of Retevisión for the transport of television signals, has become key piece in the confusion of the capital of Hispasat.
The Government is persuaded that its entrance in the Spanish society of satellites would be the ideal solution to maintain the Spanishness of the company and to locate it safe from the voracity of the main multinationals of the sector.
The Catalan group, nevertheless, has decided to stay in the shade so far and is obstinate to give a step forward while the panorama is not clarified.

Q: Run Ubuntu 13.04 / Linux mint 14 on Amazon EC2 with 'NX free edition for Linux' from NoMachine I have recently been trying to create a Linux workstation in the cloud which I can access from any of my personal machines/OS using NX. I found a few old guides which I was following. I used the Ubuntu 13.04 AMI - ami-1e831d77 . However, since Ubuntu has now moved to Unity by default, I could not exactly follow these guides step by step. I managed to set up the NX server in the EC2 but then connection from NX client on my local machine to EC2 does not work (which I had expected). What changes would I have to make for this to work? Could anyone recommend me a guide of some kind.
Any help would be appreciated.

Make Free And Affordable VoIP Calls with Viber, Know the Tips and Tricks Associated With It, And More
In regards to the aspect of internet communication, Viber has risen to become one of the biggest competitors of WhatsApp and Skype. Initially, the application was brought to life by Israel-based developers but was later sold to a Japanese-based tech company known as Rakuten, for an exorbitant amount of $0.9 billion! Presently, Viber has around 500 million members all over the world.
The application is not only free to download and use, but it can be easily installed on several platforms like that of tablets, PCs, and smartphones. If your device runs on Windows, Android, IOS and even other operating systems like Blackberry, Viber can be installed in it. Viber also comes with a desktop version that includes support for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The great thing about Viber is that no matter where it's downloaded, it will work in a standalone manner without relying on Web Browsers like WhatsApp Web.
However, keep in mind that if you are planning to install Viber on your PC, you must install it on your phone first. This is because Viber uses only your phone number to sign-up. The number is used for the verification of your account. Once you have installed it in your phone, you can go ahead and install it on other devices. With Viber, you can reject the hassle of adding contacts to your account manually. Once installed, the application will start an automatic search on your phonebook and identify all numbers that have signed up on Viber and add them to the app's contacts.
At the same time, you can access the remaining contacts on your phone through this application. Viber allows users to make free video and voice calls to each other. With a feature like this, Viber has stayed on top of other applications like Line, Tango, and WeChat, etc. The latest version of Viber offers HD-quality calls but for it to work, the user at the other end must have the latest version installed as well. Calls can be made via PC, tablet or phone. Another beatific feature of this app is that it allows calls to be transferred from one device to another without any problems at all.

Q: Pass username and password in URL for HTTP Basic Auth When passing username and password encoded in URL, eg:
https://Aladdin:OpenSesame@www.example.com/index.html
Is the client in fact sending this in Authorization header?
What kind of processing is needed on server side for this kind of URL encoding?

A: Is the client in fact sending this in Authorization header?
It depends on what the client is. If the client is a browser, the answer is no. Here is the experiment result:

*

*In Chrome, no authorization header is sent.

*In Firefox, no authorization header is sent. Firefox will also prompt a confirm dialog, as proactively sending authenticate information is weird.

*In Safari, no authorization header is sent. Safari will also display a warning page first, as it suspect the URL is belong to a fishing site.

*In Opera, no authorization header is sent.

*I'm on Mac and can't run experiment on IE/Edge. But according to other browser's behaviour which is reasonable, I guess IE/Edge would act the same. Anyway, I'd appreciate if someone takes an experiment and get the result.

Generally speaking, browser will ignore authenticate information proactively sent in URL, for security reason.
However, if the client is a development tool, the authenticate information may be encoded in base64 and sent as Authorization header. Here is some experiment result:

*

*In curl, yes, the authorization header is sent.

Whether the authorization header is sent depends on the tool's design.
What kind of processing is needed on server side for this kind of URL encoding?
In server side, all you need to do is get the base64 encoded string from Authorization header, decode it, and check whether it is valid.
Would it be any different if HTTP protocol is used in example URL?
For security, yes, Authorization header through HTTP is very insecure. Base64 encoding/decoding will not make any security benefit, it can be decoded by everyone.
Otherwise, they are the same.

Q: How to make a dialog Class in android I would like to make a class that has different text to say to a user. I made a class that was composed of an onclickListener that changed the textView every time the user clicks it. But that is wayyy to tedious for the program im buildind. I would like to know if it is a easier way i can make a class or something that can just speak to the user instead of making thousands of lines of onclick listeners. Here's a small snippet  of what my code looks like now.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class DorothyTalk extends Activity{

    TextView text1;
    EditText edit;
    Button respond;
    private String name;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.dorothydialog);

        text1 = (TextView)findViewById(com.fttech.da.R.id.dialog);

        edit = (EditText)findViewById(com.fttech.da.R.id.repsond);

        respond = (Button)findViewById(com.fttech.da.R.id.button01);

        Talk();
    }

    private void  Talk(){

        text1.setText("Welcome what is your name?");

        respond.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                name = edit.getText().toString();

                text1.setText("Nice to meet you "+name);

                respond.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        text1.setText("");
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    }
}

This is what i dont want to do.. This will take way to long and use up more resources. i feel like there is a better way of doing this. If anyone knows please help.

A: Just create an array of text lines to display and store the index of the next one. You will need just one OnClickListener which shows the next text and increments the index.


The 2001 George Meany - Lane Kirkland Human Rights award was awarded to U Maung Maung, founder of the Federation of Trade Unions in Burma (FTUB), for bringing the plight of Burmese workers to the attention of the world.
In 1988, students, monks, civil servants and workers by the hundreds of thousands took to the streets in cities all over Burma demanding an end to 25 years of brutal military rule. Tragically, the military responded by opening fire on the peaceful protests, massacring thousands. Many others were forced to flee the country.
Now 13 years later, Burma's military regime desperately clings to power after having been singled out by the international community as one of the worst violators of basic human rights in the world. Last year, the International Labor Organization (ILO) agreed to implement measures it had never imposed against a member state in its 80-year history to compel the military regime to end its widespread use of forced labor. Freedom of association does not exist anywhere in Burma despite the fact that Burma ratified ILO Convention 87 on Freedom of Association over 40 years ago. Any attempt to organize an independent trade union is repressed with violence.
One of the participants in the 1988 demonstrations was U Maung Maung. A geologist by trade, Brother Maung Maung's trade union activism brought him to the pro-democracy movement. As the elected president of the Ministry of Mines Union, he and six other union leaders were fired from their jobs for participating in the 1988 protests. He was forced to flee his home and escape to the Thai-Burma border in December of that year after the Military Intelligence came looking for him at his in-law's home.
Two years after fleeing Burma, Brother Maung Maung helped to form the Federation of Trade Unions of Burma (FTUB). In doing so, he mobilized other exiled workers to come together to protect basic worker rights, while simultaneously acting to restore democracy in Burma. Beginning with virtually no resources, Maung Maung has built an effective grassroots organization that has had a tremendous impact on bringing the plight of Burmese workers to the attention of the world. The AFL-CIO is proud of the solidarity support we have been providing to the FTUB for many years.
Now based in Bangkok, the FTUB is the only effective voice for the over 1.5 million Burmese migrants working in Thailand. It has successfully organized underground unions inside Burma, often at great peril and sacrifice of its leaders. Two FTUB activists, arrested in Rangoon over four years ago, have not been seen since in spite of an international trade union campaign demanding their release. The FTUB has also supported the organization of trade unions in many of Burma's ethnic states. The ethnic trade unions represent the first democratic institutions organized in these areas.
When he fled Burma in 1988, U Maung Maung left behind a wife and young son. He has not seen either of them for 13 years and avoids any communication with them for their own protection. His ability to remain optimistic in his belief that one day democracy will come to Burma and that he will be reunited with his family and friends in a democratic Burma is truly remarkable. For his inspiration, leadership, and personal sacrifice, the AFL-CIO is pleased to award the 2001 George Meany-Lane Kirkland Human Rights Award to Brother U Maung Maung.
MYANMAR government officials and Yangon-based diplomats and non-government organisations have welcomed the call for increased international aid.
An Education Department official, who requested anonymity, said increased foreign aid would benefit a range of education projects. He said most UN educational aid was for primary school students.
An official from the Myanma Posts and Telecommunications Department said increased UN assistance would be welcomed. Forest Department coordinator, Professor Saw Eh Dah, said the UN had provided substantial aid to the forestry sector in the past. But he said the Department had received little or no UN aid money in recent years.
South Korean embassy counsellor Mr Park Ro-byung was among the diplomats who backed the call by the UN agency chiefs. Mr Park said an increase in aid money would contribute towards easing problems and also help to improve health care and education. A European diplomat, who did not wish to be named, said more assistance would benefit HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, as well as those involving food security and the suppression of narcotics.
There was widespread support for the appeal from some of the 25 NGO's active in Myanmar, which are involved in projects ranging from HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention to crop substitution schemes aimed at eliminating narcotics.
In an apparent reference to sanctions imposed by some countries, Mr Frank Smithuis from health care NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), said AIDS programs should be exempt from political interference. "The AIDS epidemic is not limited by time or geography," he said, warning that problems would intensify unless more aid was made available to fight the disease.
Ms Michiko Ito of Japanese NGO, Karamosia International, said Myanmar deserved more financial support from the international community. "We should have greater understanding of the dynamics of Myanmar society," Ms Ito said. Ms Ito added that Myanmar's humanitarian needs would benefit from a closer partnership between the UN and NGOs.
A Myanmar delegation led by the Deputy Minister for Education discussed educational matters with an Egyptian delegation led by Minister of Education Dr. Hussein Kamel Bahaa E1-Din of the Arab Republic of Egypt at the SEAMEO Regional Centre for History and Traditions on 19 August.
The Myanmar delegation comprised Deputy Minister, the director-general and presidents of Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science and rectors of the universities in Yangon, and the Egyptian delegation comprised Dr. Hussein Kamel Bahaa E1-Din and Official on Special Duty Mr. Osana Mohammed Fattouth. The guests also visited the Drug Elimination Museum.
YANGON, August 17 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar has planned to conduct a special training course,aimed at producing qualified Chinese language tourist guides as part of its measures to promote the country's tourism industry and provide systematic guide to tourists coming from neighboring China.
The special course, to be conducted by the Myanmar Ministry of Hotels and Tourism, will commence in the beginning of September, according to sources at the ministry Friday. The measure came eight months after Myanmar reached a memorandum of understanding with China in December last year on the implementation plan for outbound travel to Myanmar by Chinese citizens at their own expenses. China, along with Thailand, is a main supplier of tourists to Myanmar from its neighboring countries.
According to official statistics, the number of registered tourist guides in Myanmar, who speak different foreign languages, reached 3,768 so far, of whom Chinese guides accounted for 222. The other languages guides cover English, Japanese and French.
The statistics show that 234,900 foreign tourists visited Myanmar in 2000, falling by 9.9 percent from 1999 and the number of those who travelled the country in the first quarter of this year came to 42,998, also dropping by 37.8 percent compared with the same period of 2000. Myanmar's short-term target is to draw 500,000 foreign tourists annually.
SHIHAB RATTANSI, CNN ANCHOR: According to the United Nations, Myanmar is the second biggest opium producer after Afghanistan, and many accuse Myanmar's military-led government of turning a blind eye to the use of its territory for the production and cross-border distribution of illegal stimulants.
But the government has held a gathering which it hopes will prove otherwise. Officials have recently destroyed more than $900 million worth of illegal drugs. The move came in front of international drug officials, to show Myanmar's commitment to stamping out its drug trade. As Myanmar Radio and Television reports, the country is trying to tackle the problem at its source.
LAING MAUNG PAN, MYANMAR RADIO AND TELEVISION REPORTER (voice- over): At a recent ministry-level meeting on drug control, (UNINTELLIGIBLE), a senior Myanmar official, pointed out that the raw materials, the chemicals that required equipment and machinery that produces chemists and technicians, as well as the funds all came from outside Myanmar. He reiterated Myanmar's strong commitment and determination to eliminate narcotics drugs in the whole country in 15, starting from 1999.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We in Myanmar are committed (UNINTELLIGIBLE) in our fight against narcotic drugs.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have the plans. The problem is not having good plans, the problem is having good international support for these plans, and this is the reason why we are meeting here to have the support of the international community, to show that it works, that this kind of a approach is effective, and convince the international community, through the United Nations, to support the effort of the government and the people of Myanmar.
PAN (on camera): The opium, heroin and stimulants are worth $900 million in the streets of the United States of America. The grand total worth of all the narcotics drugs today destroyed is estimated at $920 million U.S.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, I find it commendable. They say seeing is believing, so today what we have seen is really commendable, and the government is doing a fantastic job in eradicating all the drugs.
YANGON, August 19 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar produced 4,270 tons of all sorts of paper in the first quarter of this year, 4.73 percent more than the same period of 2000, the latest data of the country' s Central Statistical Organization show.
During the period, Myanmar imported 18.9 million U.S. dollars worth of paper goods, an increase of 34 percent compared with the corresponding period of 2000, to meet its domestic demand. In 2000, the country produced 16,894 tons of paper and imported 48.1 million dollars worth of paper manufactures.
There is a major paper mill known as the Sittoung Paper Mill in Myanmar's southern Mon state operating since 1994 and mainly supplying paper for domestic use. Meanwhile, a Chinese Tianjin Company concluded a 3-million- dollar contract with Myanmar in September 1999 to build a 25-ton- daily-capacity newsprint mill inPaleik, the country's central Mandalay division.
JOB opportunities for merchant seaman have surged following the decision by the International Maritime Organisation to add Myanmar to its "white list" of approved nations last June.
Figures released by the Department of Marine Administration show that the number of jobs provided on foreign vessels rose from 761 in June to 1138 last month.
"These are the results of Myanmar being "white listed" by the International Maritime Organisation," the Department's director general, Captain U Soe Win, told Myanmar Times.
In recent weeks, two companies have agreed to hire nearly 200 seafarers. They include a new foreign shipping company which has agreed to hire 100 seafarers on a trial basis for three of its 28 vessels and more are likely. If the trial is successful, more seafarers will be hired by the company, which has not been named. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagle International company has offered the highest salaries to 90 seafarers who will begin work on four ships in November. The company employed Myanmar sailors on high salaries for six of its boats last December.
Seafarers are hired under agreements arranged by the Seamen Employment Control Division of the Department of Marine Administration. As reported previously in Myanmar Times (" Maritime body changes mind: Myanmar now on "white list", page 1,Vol 4, No 68), the IMO's Maritime Safety Committee decided to add Myanmar to its "white list " of certified countries along with 22 other nations.
Since the decision was made, Myanmar seamen have also enjoyed higher pay, boosting the amount of hard currency from their earnings that will flow back into the country.Under current regulations, the government levies a 10 per cent income tax on the sailors, from whom it also receives a US$4 monthly service charge. Money deposited at the government bank by sailors has risen from US$3.32 million in 1997-98 to $15.73 million in the 2000-2001 financial year. Captain U Soe Win said the amount could rise to $70 million if better incentives were provided to the sailors. Myanmar sailors are not required to send home any of their earnings, unlike their counterparts in the Philippines, which has 300,000 merchant seamen, more than any other country.
Filipino seamen are required under its Central Bank regulations to send 80 per cent of their basic salary back to their families. Sailors from Indonesia usually send between 50 per cent to 75 per cent of their basic pay to their families, although this is not mandatory. Home remittances are not compulsory for Singapore sailors but it is compulsory for them to contribute 20 per cent of their wages to the nation's Central Provident Fund, to which their employers have to make an equal contribution. Singa-pore workers can withdraw money from the Fund when they reach 55. Bangladeshi sailors are required to send home two thirds of their wages but are exempt from income tax. The wages of Indian merchant seamen are also tax exempt. They also enjoy some duty free privileges and are entitled to participate in a savings scheme if they are employed through an Indian union.
Burma is launching an open education concept which includes the transmission of lectures via a data broadcasting system in an effort to educate more of its people.
The lessons on topics ranging from the life sciences to literature, are targeted at university and pre-university students, and can be received at specially set up centres throughout the country.
More than 200 e-Education learning centres have also been set up to provide the vast country with access to the latest educational curriculum and learning methods coming out of the capital.
The revamp, one of the most significant in recent years, affects the entire education system, from tertiary to primary level.
Not enough children in Burma have embarked on a formal education, prompting schools to launch an 'enrolment week' to get more parents to see its importance.
It is part of the government's overall efforts to raise education standards in the country.
And teachers are not forgotten - a series of refresher courses are in store for them.
At tertiary level, the Education Ministry has set up 11 new universities and institutes and upgraded 11 others with new facilities.
Most are located outside the capital and in the suburbs in an effort to minimise participation by students in violent protests and demonstrations in Rangoon, a problem faced by the government when opposition groups start mobilising people for mass protests.
The involvement of undergraduates in violent protests in 1996 had led the government to temporarily close down tertiary institutions in the country, with most of the universities only just reopened earlier this year.
Another preventive measure is the promotion of distance learning.
Dr Tint Swe, Exiled National League for Democracy MP, said, "It's good for some students who cannot afford to pay the money, so they work in the daytime, they take the tuition, and the distance education system so the number of enrolment students is increasing. But you know it is very limited, only major subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Burmese History, no scientific."
To meet the shortage in engineering and technology courses, the military has set up several universities that provide such teaching, but only to students from the armed forces.
As Burma moves towards globalisation, schools in the country have begun making IT and economics an important part of their curriculum.
And now that universities are open, and with a new education plan, officials are hopeful that they are on the right track to educational reform.

"On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" – Ocean Vuong
by Ocean Vuong
Our July 2019 Book of the Month
Poet Ocean Vuong's debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling…
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one's own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.
With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.
Ocean Vuong is the author of the debut novel, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, out from Penguin Press (2019) and forthcoming in 12 other languages worldwide. He is also the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection, Night Sky with Exit Wounds, a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2016, winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize, the Whiting Award, the Thom Gunn Award, and the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. A Ruth Lilly fellow from the Poetry Foundation, his honors include fellowships from the Lannan Foundation, the Civitella Ranieri Foundation, The Elizabeth George Foundation, The Academy of American Poets, and the Pushcart Prize.

Национальная служба здравоохранения (, NHS) — зонтичный термин, описывающий совокупность отдельных национальных государственных организаций здравоохранения Англии, Уэльса, Шотландии и Северной Ирландии (служба в Северной Ирландии носит название ). Изначально NHS была создана 5 июля 1948 года как единая государственная организация в Великобритании, целью которой было обеспечение бесплатной медицинской помощи для всего населения. С 2013 года, в результате деволюции и проведения соответствующих реформ по децентрализации управления и финансирования, единая организационная структура претерпела системные изменения и была фактически разделена между соответствующими национальными юрисдикциями. NHS финансируется главным образом за счёт общебританских налоговых поступлений, и её услуги бесплатны для всех британцев, обладателей  и беженцев. Граждане других стран также могут рассчитывать на некоторые виды бесплатной медицинской помощи.

В каждой из четырёх стран Великобритании действует своя независимая система NHS, напрямую подотчётная соответствующим национальным исполнительным властям.

В целом, в системе NHS работает более 1,5 млн человек, что делает её пятым по величине работодателем в мире. Общий бюджет в 2016 году — 116,4 млрд фунтов стерлингов.

В среднем учреждения NHS принимают миллион пациентов за 36 часов.

Pontefract barber is raising funds to help save the life of three-year-old Nilay
How charity is capturing Wakefield's response to Covid-19 and celebrating community spirit
An arts project in Wakefield has been documenting the district's response to the coronavirus pandemic, capturing resilience and community spirit. Laura Reid reports.

"She has become a bit of a motif for our time during Covid", says Judi Alston, gesturing behind her to where Suzi, one of her two greyhounds – and the newest addition to her family, is sprawled out on the sofa.
The dog has made an appearance in the background of almost all of the online sessions she has been running with young people throughout the coronavirus pandemic, workshops held under the banner of the Wakefield-based arts and digital media charity, One to One Development Trust, which Judi set up 30 years ago.
Though much of its work has been virtual this year, the organisation has had a busy 2020. Its creative projects have included creating a website ( with the district's Young Lives Consortium, an association of voluntary groups focused on young people and families, and it has also run an online arts programme with children's support service Star Bereavement, covering everything from spoken word to games design and animation. Both were launched in response to Covid to support the mental health of children and young people.

Judi's adoption of Suzi coincidentally also marked the start of another major project. More than seven months down the line and Local Story is now a growing online collection of stories, photographs, artwork and films celebrating the resilience and community spirit shown throughout the Wakefield district during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Documentary film-maker and digital artist Judi is no stranger to capturing the intricacies of communities and their stories. Indeed, much of her initial work after launching One to One in the late 1980s was focused around documenting the changing face of Yorkshire's coalfield communities.
"We always seek out stories of inspiration and things of significance in communities," she says. "As soon as lockdown hit, we could see that communities in Wakefield, in true magnificent spirit, stepped up to the mantle and were doing things to make a difference. It was absolutely fantastic.
"I thought this has got to be recorded. Not only will it be useful for people now, I'm also interested in the legacy of this in years to come."
One to One had already agreed to work with Anna Hartley, Wakefield's Director of Public Health on her annual report before the pandemic took hold. They had planned to produce a film focusing on climate change and the environment and its implications for health and wellbeing.
But when the first lockdown began, the project was redefined and the Local Story repository was created by One to One as the 2020 public health report instead. "Anna's approach of reporting about public health is very accessible," Judi, One to One's CEO and creative director, says.
"Previous reports have included a film and a comic. I really admire that she is somebody in a senior health role who is embracing the arts and creative practice as a way of communication."
From mining to the moon via war-torn Bosnia - Wakefield trust's three decades of...
Local Story aims to give a snapshot from Wakefield communities of the area's response to the Covid-19 crisis, whilst also exploring ideas for a greener future. One section of the project website focuses on people's changing relationships with the environment.
It features a series of 'go green' stories from those who have used the pandemic to take to their gardens, connect with nature or think more about climate change and also includes a number of ideas that people can try at home to support the planet.
Another strand of the project looks at how grassroots community groups and organisations have adapted their 'normal work' to support and stay connected with local people. And a third explores how a network of community hubs, led by the voluntary sector, has responded to the pandemic.
The selfless work of individuals whose efforts have supported others during an unprecedented period is also highlighted.
Stephannie Miles is among those featured. Disappointed that lockdown meant her family would not be able to continue their annual tradition of travelling to scarecrow festivals across the region, Steph set about staging one of her own among her local community in Featherstone instead.
Her two children, who have differing disabilities, "needed something to look forward to do, that we could all do, safely, and as part of our daily exercise," she says.
Having garnered support for the event through social media, Steph and her husband Daniel arranged for more than 30 bales of hay to be delivered from a nearby farm and for a week in June, their estate was transformed.
It was, Steph says, the epitome of community spirit, a "rainbow" in the storm. "It was really heartwarming, particularly as kids have missed out on much this year," she says.
"It was lovely to see something so little - having loads of hay delivered to my drive and saying let's do this - turn into such a big thing that people were really thankful for...I'm proud of people for pulling together in such a rubbish time.
"It created memories for kids. They're going to think can you remember when we wore masks all the time to the shops? Now they'll also be able to say can you remember when we built a scarecrow in the garden and we laughed and there was straw blowing down the street? It's those silly things that you hope will stick with them."
The work of Karen Wright, a 2018 contestant on the Great British Bake Off, is also featured. Karen, who lives in the district, spotted a post on a community social media group from a man who was cooking warm meals and delivering them to struggling families and people who were isolating.
"I remember thinking I should step up to the mark here as well," Karen says. "It's good to give back." And so it was that she began batch baking goods to accompany the meals. As more requests for deliveries came in, more people got involved, taking on roles in everything from cooking to delivering, shopping and logistics.
Karen became coordinator for the bakers' group whose members made treats including scones, banana bread and lemon drizzle cakes to be distributed to people across Wakefield and beyond, between the months of March and July.
Her motivation was twofold – to be able to help others, but also to keep busy and focused. "I don't think it's a bad thing to get some joy in your life out of helping others," she says. "It gave me a sense of worth and a feeling of being part of something, and also something to get up for in a morning."
Among Judi and her team, there has been "real energy and passion" in the drive to find local stories to feature and share. That will continue to be the case, she says, until the project comes to a close in March next year.
Judi wants the finished Local Story repository to remain a lasting legacy of this time for future generations and she also hopes to bring to life a physical exhibition of some of its content. For now though, with lockdown mark two underway, One to One continues to adapt its project work - and Suzi, of course, will remain a staple of Judi's online workshops.

Kadıköy (Turkish pronunciation: [kaˈdɯkøj] ( listen); ancient and Byzantine Chalcedon (Greek: Χαλκηδών)), is a large, populous, and cosmopolitan district of Istanbul, Turkey on the northern shore of the Sea of Marmara, facing the historic city centre on the European side of the Bosporus. Kadıköy is also the name of the most prominent neighbourhood of the district, a residential and commercial area that, with its numerous bars, cinemas and bookshops, is the cultural centre of the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Kadıköy became a district in 1928 when it was separated from Üsküdar district. The neighbourhoods of İçerenköy, Bostancı and Suadiye were also separated from the district of Kartal in the same year[citation needed], and eventually joined the newly formed district of Kadıköy. Its neighbouring districts are Üsküdar to the northwest, Ataşehir to the northeast, Maltepe to the southeast, and Kartal beyond Maltepe. The population of Kadıköy district, according to the 2007 census.
Kadıköy is an older settlement than most of those on the Asian side of the city of İstanbul. Relics dating to 5500-3500 BC (Chalcolithic period) have been found at the Fikirtepe Mound, and articles of stone, bone, ceramic, jewelry and bronze show that there has been a continuous settlement since prehistoric times. A port settlement dating from the Phoenicians has also been discovered. Chalcedon was the first settlement which the Greeks from Megara established on the Bosphorus, in 685 BC, a few years before they established Byzantium on the other side of the strait in 667 BC. Chalcedon became known as the 'city of the blind', the story being that Byzantium was founded following a prophecy that a great capital would be built 'opposite the city of the blind' (meaning that the people of Chalcedon must have been blind not to see the obvious value of the peninsula on the Golden Horn as a natural defensive harbour). Chalcedon changed hands time and time again, as Persians, Bithynians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, and Turks passed through the area, which was badly damaged during the Fourth Crusade and came into Ottoman hands in 1353, a full century before Constantinople. Thus, Kadıköy has the oldest mosque in İstanbul, built almost a century before the conquest of Constantinople in 1453.
At the time of the conquest, Chalcedon was a rural settlement outside the protection of the city. It was soon put under the jurisdiction of the Constantinople courts, hence the name Kadıköy, which means Village of the Judge. In the Ottoman period, Kadıköy became a popular market for agricultural goods and in time developed into a residential area for people who would commute to the city by boat. The population was the typical Ottoman Constantinople mix of Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, Jews and Turks. Kadıköy has several churches (Greek, Armenian, Serbian, Catholic, Protestant) and synagogues.

Erin McKenna's Bakery at Disney Springs will reopen on May 20
Walt Disney World announced that it would start a phased reopening on May 20, 2020, with a handful of third party participants opening in the shopping and dining district. Since then, we've seen a handful of restaurants confirming that they'll reopen on the 20th.
You can now add Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC to that list. The bakery is a small location that focuses on vegan and allergy friendly desserts and other baked goods. It's one of our favorite spots to stop for a treat.
Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC has been available for delivery for a few weeks in a limited area, so I was expecting to hear this news.
The store will be open from 10am to 10pm and, due to the small square footage in the customer space, will only allow one party in at a time. Other health and safety measures will be in enforced, including masks for cast members and guests.
The location expects to have a full menu and is encouraging its customers to place a phone order up to 24 horus in advance. Contactless payment is prefered.
We're maintaining a list of restaurants we know are opening at Disney Springs, and those we know will be closed, on our original post.
If you plan to visit Disney Springs after it reopens, let us know in the comments.

Trio Depart
With the season not yet totally finished, the manager has already started shaping his squad for next season. With another step up the ladder comes the inevitable increase in travel demands. With this in mind, it is with great sadness that we announce a couple of departures from the club.
Midfielder Conor Gaul is unable to commit with not driving combined with working away. Conor provided a constant attacking threat last season, creating goals and netting six times himself, most notably the only goal of the game in an away win at Kidsgrove Athletic.
Meanwhile, forward James Kirby is looking for a club closer to his Congleton home. Returning to the club in late November, James popped up with crucial goals including a brace in our home win against Chasetown and opening the scoring in a vital win away at Market Drayton Town.
Lastly, wide man Connor Hughes has returned to Curzon Ashton in the Conference North after his loan period expired. Connor grabbed two important goals on our way to winning the championship, the opening goal against Leek Town on his debut and a pivotal winner away at Widnes.
With the rest of last season's squad verbally agreeing to return next season, we offer our gratitude to Conor, James and Connor. All three made a significant impact in what was our most successful season of all time, writing themselves into club folklore, achieving what will be talked about for many years to come. Needless to say they will always be welcome at the club and will forever be Collsmen.
