Lendable, the first debt platform designed specifically for African alternative lenders – non-banking, asset backed finance providers operating in microfinance, and a range of Pay-as-you-go (PayGo) services – has continued to attract investors with the entry of Dutch funders.
The Kenyan firm has received a USD 4.5 Million convertible grant from Dutch funder, FMO. The convertible grant is being provided by the Dutch government's MASSIF fund, managed by FMO.
It aims to reach targeted end-beneficiaries through financing local financial intermediaries and institutions that can contribute to their development. This will fund loans from Lendable's alternative lender clients across Africa – to small and micro enterprises, and low-income consumer borrowers.
The company has been a leading light in providing loans to organisations that offer unstructured loans, mainly in the energy pay as you go sector.
FMO's grant will contribute to financial inclusion in Africa by catalysing innovative, technology-driven business models. Alternative lenders in Africa are using Internet of Things (IOT) and mobile technologies to unlock new financial services and improve access to income-generating assets for low-income homes.
Lendable's 'Maestro' technology platform allows for direct data integration with these alternative lenders, including loan portfolio data analysis and cash flow predictions. Maestro also provides high quality portfolio management information to alternative lenders and investors in Lendable's SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles). This is increasingly popular with investors who have traditionally struggled to get detailed price, risk and portfolio quality metrics from impact-focused lenders.
With a leading impact investor, FMO supports sustainable private-sector growth in developing countries and emerging markets by investing in ambitious projects and entrepreneurs. FMO focuses on three sectors that have high development impact: financial institutions, energy, agribusiness, food and water. With a committed portfolio of EUR 9.2 billion spanning over 82 countries, FMO is one of the larger bilateral private-sector developments banks globally.

Several weeks ago, Scott came into the office for a Zoom Whitening treatment. He was very excited with the results and began to talk with Dr. Weinberg about how he could improve his over-all smile. Scott was given a treatment plan for a dental transformation and graciously allowed us to chronicle his visits. This is a video series that follows our wonderful patient, Scott through his various visits. As you scroll down through this post you will be able to follow along as Scott's smile will be transformed with the cosmetic dentistry skills of Dr. Weinberg.
Digital technology has become an integral aspect of most endeavors, and dentistry is no different. The latest technology takes previously manual efforts and revolutionizes them, with a net result of easier predictive efforts, and a far more rapid process from start to finish. Dental professionals have been looking to technology to update their efforts for over a hundred years, but digital technology may well be leading to the largest improvements in the history of the profession.
In this video below, Dr. Weinberg uses the 3Shape TRIOS Scanner. With this tool in hand, a dental professional can scan a patient's teeth digitally, removing the need to take a manual impression of the mouth. While impressions have always been useful, the process can be quite uncomfortable for the patient and even lead to a patient gagging. These concerns will soon be a thing of the past. Our patient, Scott has the opportunity to view his mouth and the reconstructive concepts that will be suggested to improve his smile.
Just as a side note, the popcorn sound you hear in the background is the sound of the scanner.
Scott has a very unique opportunity due to the digital scanner. He can see the 3D scans on Dr. Weinberg's computer and not only have a conversation with the Dr. but the lab technician too about the shaping of his new smile. This gives the patient an amazing opportunity to be in control and communicate his ideal smile not only to Dr. Weinberg but to the lab as well.
The computer screen that Scott is looking at is in Dr. Weinberg's office. However, it is being remotely controlled by Joe the technician at the dental lab just a few towns down the road from Dr. Weinberg's office. This 3D image was taken several months back with the 3Shape Trios digital dental system that can be viewed in the first video of this post.
In the next video, Scott has just gone over the cosmetic dental plan with Joe, the technician, and Dr. Weinberg. Here, Scott is making his next appointment and discussing tooth color with the doctor. Scott's next appointment is scheduled for next month. We will be following along to see how this treatment turns out.
In this segment, we continue to chronicle the cosmetic dentistry process with our very willing patient Scott.
Scott has a tendency to grid his teeth. This has caused the edges of his teeth to be a bit rough. Scott has some broken edges across his bottom teeth and also on his top eye teeth. It was determined that we would do bonding on the bottom teeth rather than cap them. We also did a bit of dental bonding on the upper eye teeth.
Scott returned to Dr. Weinberg's office to receive his temporary crowns on the upper front teeth.
with the digital scanner provided by Ryan from Henry Schein Dental.
The temporary crowns were made by Artisan Dental Laboratory and once Scott has a chance to feel his way through the new teeth, he will have the opportunity to visit with Artisan Dental Laboratory and go over any changes he might want to be included in the permanent set of crowns. It is very cool to allow patient participation in the dental transformation process.
We thought it would be fun to take a field trip over to Artisan Dental Lab so that you could see the process of this particular case from the other side, the lab side. We think it is also worth noting that when a patient receives any sort of dental lab work from Dr. Weinberg's office, it comes from Artisan Dental Lab and they have a big role in the dental transformation. Why is this important? Well, many people who receive crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, and other sorts of devices have no idea what materials these are made of and they especially do not know where and who made them. These devices that are inserted into patient's mouths can often come from Mexico, China, and even some low-cost facilities in the US that cut corners to keep a competitive edge. This price cutting tactic is not always known to the patient but the results of inferior products been placed in the mouth can create problems ahead.
Today Scott will receive his permanent crowns. They came back from the lab perfectly milled and are ready to be placed permanently. This is the final step for Scott. Watch the video below to see what he thinks about his new dental transformation. He is smiling!

Resilience - Rosh Hashanah Kavannah (5781)
I think that the word of this year behind us is 'resilience'. Resilience is not only the ability to work through a difficult time, it's the ability to maintain something in ourselves while doing so. Of course this year has changed us. It's changed the way that we pray, the way that we learn, the way that we interact with one another. But I have been astounded and moved time and time again by experiencing the great care that is at the heart of this community.
We are of course not the first generation to live and worship through a tumultuous situation. Our history is filled with these kinds of stories. To the ancestors of our deep past, before the building of the Temple in Jerusalem, worship occurred on the road. Our forefathers built their own altars as they travelled. The generation of the Wilderness built a mishkan, a tabernacle, a portable temple for their experiences of wandering. And after we had built and experienced the Temple as a centre of Jewish worship, we found ourselves once again without it. And then came the rabbinic revolution: the ability to take a Temple-based, land-based culture, and adapt it for a wandering people once again. We brought Torah scrolls with us from country to country, we invented and developed the synagogue as a small, community-based structure for our prayer and our learning. But the community was never the walls. A community like ours is more naturally in touch with this: the walls house the community, they give us a physical space to gather, but they don't make the community. We make the community. Our choices make the community.
This year, we are not housed by the walls of the synagogue. And it has been a challenge. It will continue to be a challenge. But knowing that the community is more than the walls, is more than the physicality, is key to our continuation. It's what our ancestors had to learn about the Temple: the presence of the Divine is not about the drapes and pillars of the Holy Building. The presence of God follows us into exile.
There is a beautiful text about this in the Talmud, as we witness the rabbis develop this concept. This is Menachot 97a:
'Rabbi Yoḥanan and Rabbi Elazar both say: בזמן שבית המקדש קיים מזבח מכפר על אדם - ועכשיו שאין בית המקדש קיים שולחנו של אדם מכפר עליו. In the time in which the Temple is standing, the altar effects atonement for a person. And now that the Temple is not standing, a person's table affects atonement for him.'
This is a classic text for the understanding that the table of the Temple is replaced with our Shabbat table. But it's actually about this time of year - the time of t'shuvah, repentance, and kippur, atonement. The reality of atonement was once brought into the world for us because of the Temple, the centralised location of Jewish worship. But now that we no longer have that Temple, we don't assume that atonement is impossible. Instead, we shift our perspective to our table at home.
The table, and the walls, of the Temple were important. They were real. They made a difference to us. But when we could use them no longer, we shifted our focus to the home.
I'm reminded also of the tent of Abraham. There is a tradition that Abraham's tent was open on all sides - it didn't have walls. Apparently they didn't have a word for 'gazebo'. This tradition comes to teach us that Abraham was so ready for visitors that he wanted his tent to be welcoming from each direction. I'm struck by this imagery this year. Abraham's connection to the community was based on taking away the walls. This does two things: it makes it easier for people to enter, but it also takes away the protection of the walls for those inside. You win something, and you lose something else.
These models are all part of our story this year. We've transitioned from a table together, to our tables at home. We've had our walls taken away from us, and it has been an opening and a closing. Some people are able to be with us more, and some less. We've won something and lost something else.
But the trick, I think, is to hold close to our hearts that the community was never the walls. It was never the table. And we are resilient enough, and kind enough, to rise to these challenges.
May next year be a simpler year. May we take what we have learnt and use it to become better. And may this be a shanah tovah um'tukah - a good and sweet year.

Continuing our mixed media project, the pupils have been looking VERY closely at static insects and drawing from life.
They have been prepping backgrounds to draw on, made from old ordinance survey maps and brown paper.
All pupils have been using their observational skills to draw insects accurately. They have studied insects from life.
Then as part of their mixed media topic work, they prepared a background using old maps and brown paper. Using fine-liner pens, they draw their insects making sure that their drawings had a sense of movement to them.
Pupils in year 4 have been studying the work of Hundervasser and creating weird and wonderful cityscapes in the style of the artist adding their own twist. The task requires all members of the groups to work together to design the complete cityscape. They also have to recall their colour theory.
Vinehall Art Competition … so far.
The competition is gaining momentum and the art department has had a lot of interesting new entries. From sculpture to small sketches, there are so many different works of art being created. Well done to those who have entered so far.
Years 2 and 3 have been looking Van Gogh's representations of skies and at footage of the Northern lights.
They are completing this term's focus on mark making.
Coming into the last few weeks of rehearsals, all the pupils are working very hard to ensure that both Twelfth Night (Y7&8) and the Tempest (Y5&6) are ready for the Elizabethan Soiree on 29th November 2018. A team of wonderful mums are busy finishing off the costumes and painting the scenery after a term of ruffles, doublets and hose! We hope for a packed house to support everyone's efforts.
Pupils took over the teaching reins and used the whiteboard to demonstrate their mark-making skills. The challenge was to visually 'describe' a texture using only a few marks.
Isobel F became a student teacher and asked her peers to guess what her texture was.
The year 6 pupils spent a day at Charleston House, the home of the Bloomsbury Group. They toured the house sketching in their home-made sketchbooks, drew from life in the garden and created stunning designs by using felt.
The Gargoyles have been returned to us from the Eastbourne College Ceramic Day!
Vinehall pupils were involved in the Battle Arts Festival 2018. Some of our pupils were able to attend the 'meet the artists' session at the Memorial Hall in Battle. Prints and originals were on show.
DT and Art have joined forces to create a cross-curricular topic based on music. Guitars to be specific. Pupils are designing and making their own guitar in DT. And in Art, pupils are drawing in a Cubist style by recording each part of a guitar with precision. This is called 'analytical drawing'. Whether it is an electric guitar or a classical one, they have analysed the working of a guitar and are using their analysis to understand the form of a guitar.
Photographers from Year 8 have spent their time in lessons learning new digital skills. They have changed the hue and saturation, inverted and posterized their images.
Eastbourne College very kindly delivered the ceramic gargoyles created by Vinehall senior artists during a recent taster day.
A big thank you to the art department at Eastbourne College for firing and glazing the sculptures.
An even bigger thank you to our artists for a job well done!
The chosen theme for the Year 8 photographers is 'Extreme Close Up' and all pupils have been exploring macro-photography to capture the tiniest detail in their images. The results are stunning.
All pupils have been creating poppies ahead of the 100th anniversary of the first world war. There are a lot of them, yet they all have an individual approach.
Year 3 pupils used their other senses to make marks to Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons'. They shut their eyes, listened intently to the music and practised their automatic drawing. Kandinsky would have been proud.
Smartboard technology is increasingly being used these days in Art. The benefits are clear to see; you can quickly change the look of your drawing by changing the size and colour. It is also proving to be a great tool for combining literacy and art. For some, the traditional way is better and for others it is digital all the way.
During the Summer Term, the current Year 5 pupils took part in a session with a watercolour artist called Kerry Bennett. Their work is now on display in the window of Martlett House in Battle opposite the Abbey. It looks very professional.
Fourteen members of Year 7 had a fantastic day at Eastbourne College singing songs from 'Matilda' and 'The Greatest Showman'. They were accompanied by the school rhythm section and gave a brilliant concert at the end of the day. A big thank you to everyone and especially to Mr Jordan for his help and tireless encouragement.
Following last week's auditions, rehearsals for the Year 7&8 production of 'Twelfth Night' and the Year 5&6 version of 'The Tempest' are well underway. Pupils are working hard to get to grips with the complex stories, characters and language, whilst having fun after school and on Saturdays. Both performances will be part of the Elizabethan Soiree on 29th November, with music and poetry during the interval. We hope that the audience will start looking out ruffles, doublets and hose to join in the spirit of the occasion!
The dish of the day was Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas. I was most impressed by the quality of the sauce making, however there was a lot of crying due to the strength of the onion!
Art is all about communication and being able to express yourself. The new Year 3 artists expressed their opinions about the artwork on display in our corridors. They were able to describe the images in great detail.
On Saturday the children made Bread and Butter pudding and on Wednesday it was Lemon Drizzle cake. Both groups made milkshakes topped with squirty cream and marshmallows.

New organ loft being built in Cathedral
Date Published Published on November 13, 2018 November 13, 2018
Work has started this week to build a new organ loft inside Canterbury Cathedral as part of complex project to restore and enhance the main organ.
A free-standing organ loft, the first new structure inside the Cathedral for several decades, is to be constructed in the north aisle next to the 12th century Quire and near to where an organ once stood until its removal in 1784.
The loft will contain the organ console with its keys, stops and pedals. The pipes, which are currently being improved and, where necessary, replaced are high up above the Quire, in the part of the Cathedral known as the Triforium.
Until April this year, the organ loft had been hidden at the top of the Pulpitum screen which divides the Quire and Nave. However, in this position there was no direct line of sight between the organist, choir master and choir and due to the building's architecture, the sound from the pipes was distant and delayed to the ear of the organist making performance and accompaniment difficult.
Following acoustic testing it was agreed that the best place for the loft is in the North Quire Aisle and its design has been subject to extensive consultation with the authorities which oversee the care of cathedral buildings. Archaeologists have also examined the area and concluded that nothing of historical significance would be disturbed by the new structure.
The loft has been designed by architects Caruso St John and will stand in between columns, allowing the aisle to continue to be used as a processional route. The loft will be on a light framework of steel supports and the platform for the console enclosed in timber-panelled walls and reached by a spiral staircase,
The Cathedral's Director of Music David Flood explained: "To have the organist much closer to the choir and to the pipes of the organ will be an enormous benefit to the performances which we give every day of the week. The organist will have a realistic feel for the balance and a real sense of involvement which up to now was not possible. We are very excited that this has been achieved."
The new loft and console is being paid for by the Friends of Canterbury Cathedral in support of the Canterbury Voice fund-raising campaign led by the Cathedral Trust.
The building work is expected to take three weeks but the console will not be installed until next year. The work on the enhanced organ is due to be completed during the first half of 2020.
The image above is an architect's drawing showing a cross section of the organ loft on the left and an indication on the right of the improved sight lines between the choir, choir master and organist.

NFP candidate Kamal Iyer claims FijiFirst candidate Reginald Jokhan urged dishonesty and exploitation of Fijians in an email he sent to one of his clients on August 17.
The email sent by the the managing director of the Jokhan Realtors Limited shows him advising a client seeking residential tenancy on how to beat rent freeze to avoid any issues with the Revenue and Customs Service.
Iyer says a copy of the email was sent to the party showing Jokhan telling the client that it would be advisable to seek high rent as possible to avoid any issues with FRCS or other bodies in the future with a rental freeze in place.
Jokhan yesterday during the FijiFirst family fun day in Nadi made claims that NFP Leader Biman Prasad owes him $15,000 for selling his Laucala beach property in 2003.
Last night, Iyer took a swipe at Jokhan for trying to bring disrepute to the party exposing an email exchange between the realtor and a client.
However, this has been objected to by Jokhan saying he's not done anything that's against the law.
While Iyer claims Jokhan is encouraging fraudulent practice and forcing would be tenants to pay exorbitant rent, Jokhan on the other hand says he hasn't done anything wrong.

[Herald Interview] Gang Dong-won falls for zombie genre while filming 'Peninsula'
Zombie thrillers are action movies disguised as horror movies, Gang says
By Park Yuna
Actor Gang Dong-won (NEW)
Actor Gang Dong-won was not a big fan of zombie flicks until he starred in "Peninsula," a zombie thriller that hit the theaters Wednesday. While filming the movie, he found himself physically challenged and his thoughts on zombie flicks have changed -- they are actually action movies disguised as horror movies, he said.
"Before I filmed 'Peninsula,' I was not really interested in zombie movies because I always thought that Asian ghosts that hold grudges were much scarier," Gang said during a media interview conducted Tuesday in Jongno-gu, central Seoul. "Then, while shooting the film, I became physically exhausted because it was really hard to fight against zombies. And I realized the zombie thriller is more like an action movie."
Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the movie is the sequel to zombie thriller "Train to Busan," which scored a major global success in the summer of 2016. "Peninsula" depicts how Korea has changed in the four years since "Train to Busan."
The peninsula has become a land of zombies and survivors who have given up on sanity in a hopeless situation with savage madness. The zombies are faster and even more sensitive to sound and light.
Gang expressed his excitement about "Peninsula" being the first film to get a worldwide release since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
In June, the film's distributor Next Entertainment World signed distribution deals in 185 countries. While the movie will be released simultaneously in Korea and Southeast Asian countries, it will hit theaters in the US in August and Japan in the fall, Gang said.
"In terms of opening scale, 'Peninsula's is much bigger than 'Train to Busan,'" Gang added. "I hope the movie could vitalize movie theaters that have waned since the pandemic. If theaters collapse, the film industry ultimately will not be able to operate properly, I hope 'Peninsula' can become a breakthrough at this time."
"Peninsula" is already the center of global attention. The movie made the list of the 2020 Official Selection of 56 films at the 73rd Cannes Film Festival, which was slated for May but canceled due to the pandemic. The movie was also invited to the 2020 Sitges Film Festival, a Spanish film festival scheduled for October.
"I was confident about 'Peninsula' itself but did not expect it would be invited to the Cannes because 'Train to Busan' was already screened at the film festival, and I thought that the sequel might not be considered fresh," Gang said. "But I heard the reaction was quite good there and I was really happy about it."
While the film "Parasite" fascinated the international film market earlier this year, Korean films have been recognized in the international scene for their quality, including "Train to Busan" and director Lee Chang-dong's "Burning" (2018).
"I have received a lot of contacts from friends in other countries who were impressed after watching Korean films. So I know there is a possibility of Korean films attracting international audiences," Gang said. "I was also surprised that most people in the film industry knew of 'Train to Busan.' Korean film market is quite big, and there is a potential, absolutely."
When Gang debuted as an actor in 2003, the public regarded him simply as a "young and handsome" actor rather than focusing on his talent. Gang, however, has constantly challenged himself in a variety of roles and is now one of the most renowned Korean actors.
Turning 40 this year, Gang said he is now encountering a new phase in life.
"I feel like I have become wiser and more composed compared to my younger self," Gang said. "But there is one thing I do not want to give up throughout my life – I don't want to compromise with the world just to chase my own interests. That is my belief.
"I want to remain as an actor who also does his best with sincerity. That will never change," he said.

Q: setSelectionRange works with input fields, but how can I place the cursor at the end of a contenteditable field? I previously asked why setSelectionRange was't working and the answer was because it only works with input fields. But I would like to try to develop a spreadsheet type page using the contenteditable attribute.

window.onkeydown = function(e) {
 if (e.keyCode === 113) {
    setFocus()
 }
}

function setFocus() {
  element = document.getElementById('test')
  element.focus() // works
    .setSelectionRange(3,3) // Doesn't work
}

testing

Click in the Result window and then press F2.

How can I place the cursor at the end of the field once the user presses F2?

A: This could be a good solution for you:

window.onkeydown = function(e) {
 if (e.keyCode === 113) {
    setFocus()
 }
}

function setFocus() {
  element = document.getElementById('test')
  element.focus() // works
  setCaretPosition(element,1); // Also works
}

function setCaretPosition(el, pos) {

  el.focus();
  var range = document.createRange();
  var sel = window.getSelection();
  range.setStart(el, pos);
  range.collapse(true);
  sel.removeAllRanges();
  sel.addRange(range);
}

testing

Click in the Result window and then press F2.

Q: Error in SSL wrapper while cloning with Mercurial I've recently started working with Bitbucket and mercurial.  I can work with git repositories just fine, but when I try to clone a mercurial one, it crashes in /Users/foobar/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial-3.4.2-py2.7-macosx-10.6-x86_64.egg/mercurial/sslutil.py on line 36, with the error:

ValueError: can't clear options before OpenSSL 0.9.8m

I am running OpenSSL 1.0.2c.
As is apparent from the file path, I downloaded python (and mercurial) through Enthought Canopy
I searched around and I found someone with a similar problem: https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hgsubversion/issues/439/unknown-exception-in-dispatchpy-value.  His partial solution (commenting out the offending line) was enough to make my download work, but I confess I am out of my depth in trying to determine whether this will cause any security issues with me using Mercurial.  Are there any potential security issues with this?  Is there any additional information you'd need to begin to answer this?

A:
ValueError: can't clear options before OpenSSL 0.9.8m

I am running OpenSSL 1.0.2c.

Just a guess, but it sounds like the script is using Apple's version of OpenSSL, which is 0.9.8 (and not OpenSSL 1.0.2 that you built things against).
To ensure you use your OpenSSL 1.0.2, use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Its similar to LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux.
The other option is to omit shared from the OpenSSL Configure, so that your gear can only perform static linking. Apple's linker always uses the *.dylib if available (even on iOS, where its not allowed), so you have to be careful with it.

A: Assuming OS X.
Try checking what python you're using:
which python
/usr/local/bin/python
Then see where that's pointing
ls -al /usr/local/bin/python

/usr/local/bin/python -> /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

Make sure you're using /System/Library/Frameworks python, if not, delete the /usr/local/bin/python symlink and recreate it:
ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python

A: The line commented out was one that disabled use of some older and weaker encryption protocols; commenting it out allows you to use those older protocols.  Possibly the server doesn't support the more recent protocols.  Unless you are worried about the NSA getting their hands on your code, this is probably not that big a deal.


Help employees focus on their financial wellbeing.
Employees depend on employer-provided benefits to help with their personal financial protection, including assistance in preparing for their golden years. A retirement plan in fact is a key deciding factor for many when looking to join a firm, along with salary and Group Health insurance.
The professional benefits specialists at Arroyo can assist you with your workplace retirement plan – from a 401(k) to a pension and profit-sharing plan.
Arroyo can provide you with the ability to offer an excellent 401(k) retirement plan structured to accommodate profit sharing and/or matching contributions from your company. We offer 401(k) plans from leading financial investment firms that can be set up to offer automatic enrollment with opt-out provisions, salary deferrals, employer contribution options, and online information, account review and retirement calculators.
We provide traditional 401(k), safe harbor 401(k), and SIMPLE 401(k) plans. These retirement plans can provide tax advantages to both your employees and your company. The traditional plans meet non-discrimination requirements, and both the safe harbor and traditional 401(k)s can be combined with other retirement offerings. For smaller businesses, the SIMPLE 401(k) may be most suitable.
Our experienced advisors can help you understand the benefits, requirements and restrictions of each of the different options. We can also help optimize your 401(k) program with an analysis of investment options, reducing expenses, coordinating rollovers, offering employee education options, and increasing enrollment.
Arroyo can assist you in setting up a profit-sharing plan, offering you both design flexibility and discretion with regard to contributions. Employer contributions are self-determined and can be allocated in a number of ways. If a firm's profits are down, for example, no contribution is required. There are three basic types of profit sharing plans: traditional, age-weighted and new comparability, which our staff can review with you to determine which is best for you and your employees.

Around the World in 80 Games
in All News
In baseball, the batter's objective is to make it home safely.
California Winter League infielder Drew Taddia decided to collect a few stamps in his passport before coming home.
He first played for the Palm Springs Chill in 2008. "Playing for Gary Templeton (former Major League Baseball player and Chill manager) and being around so many professional teachers was a great learning experience," Taddia said.
After calling the Coachella Valley his home that winter, Taddia went on to play for the Bay Area Toros of the now-defunct Continental League in Texas. While surfing the internet he learned about the Sunburst League in Canada and decided to try out for a team that summer. He made it with the Red Deer Stags in Alberta.
Taddia enjoyed playing ball in his native country. "It was good competition. The league had games during the week and tournaments on the weekends," he said. "The attendance was strong for those weekend games."
One of Taddia's teammates in Canada spoke about a baseball league that played during the winter and encouraged him to go along for the adventure. He accepted the invitation, and his bags were packed for the next stop in his global baseball journey: Australia.
Taddia notes that Australians were very welcoming. Outside of the adjustment to the local slang, accents and large-sized currency, he found driving on the opposite side of the road to be the only challenge.
"There's not a big difference in the game down there, except that the infields are completely grass. Just a little bit of dirt right around the bases," Taddia said. Flooding often occurs in areas of Australia, so the grass infield is essential in keeping the field in playable condition. On the contrary, other parts of the country endure extreme heat which made the outfield grass seem more like playing on dirt.
Another notable difference was the limited amount of instruction. "The players in Australia have lots of raw talent, but they don't have the opportunity to learn from managers and coaches with a higher level of professional experience like most do in the United States."
According to Taddia, it is probably because cricket, rugby and soccer are more popular in Australia. "The guys would watch rugby on the clubhouse television. I didn't understand it at first, but once they explained the rules to me it made it more interesting."
The biggest culture shock, however, was still forthcoming. A player in Australia had shared stories about playing baseball in Germany, so Taddia made the Hamburg Knights his next team. He discovered the European lifestyle to be quite different.
"Where I was playing in Australia (an hour south of Brisbaine, Queensland) it was very laid back. Guys were walking around the mall or grocery store wearing no shirt and no shoes – just shorts. But in Germany, it is very materialistic. People like to get dressed up, even to go to the ballpark. It's all about the designer labels."
The way of life was different in Germany, too. Taddia says it is common for dinner to be a four hour event. "Germany is very family-oriented. You sit down and have drinks before the meal. Then after a while, you share an appetizer. After the meal you have a liqueur or coffee. No one rushes you. Everyone acts like they have nowhere else to go."
That is, unless they were outside. Taddia was amazed at how quick the pace was in Hamburg. Likening it to New York City, he said that people seemed to walk fast and drive faster.
"The transportation system was great. They have public bike stations. You can rent a bike from one place and return it at another station across town. People dressed in business suits were riding bicycles, too. Parking is a big problem in Hamburg, but the U-Bahn (the subway system) would get you where you needed to go," Taddia said.
Taddia also said it was obvious by looking at the stadiums that some sports clubs in Germany were better funded than others. The Hamburg Knights, which he played for, was part of a larger club that included teams in other sports.
One of those other sports in particular overshadowed baseball. "Soccer is big in Germany," Taddia said. "It's like hockey in Canada. The World Cup was going on while I was there. There were TV's set up for people to watch in the park and on the streets. They were honking their horns. There were flags everywhere. It was crazy."
But no matter where in the world he is or how hectic life seems, Taddia has one passion that he carries with him each day – a regimen of dynamic stretching that prepares him physically for the day ahead. It is something that he learned from a coach early in his playing career and has taught other teammates along the way.
In fact, Taddia became a personal trainer and started his own company. And via internet telecommunication he is able to share programs and stay up to date with his clients wherever he travels. "I want to inspire people. I want them to realize that they can continue to reach their goals wherever they are."
Taddia planned a return to Australia this winter with an offer to play in Toowoomba, but he experienced problems getting the travel arrangements secured. That may have been a blessing, as the area was hit with severe flooding last month. Instead, he returned to Palm Springs to enjoy the competition and instruction of the California Winter League.
A number of players in the CWL are here for the first time from Japan. He had fun introducing them to pine tar, which is used to achieve a better grip on the bat (a spray substance is widely used in Japan). "You can learn a lot from other players," Taddia said. "Players connect by watching T.V. together or telling jokes in the clubhouse. When you don't speak the same language, it can be tough. Sometimes you take little things for granted."
Could Japan be Taddia's next stop?
"I'd be all for it," he said. "But I love playing in the United States. There's nothing like it."

2016 NBA Draft: Getting to know the top 10 international players
The 2016 NBA Draft has a chance to be dominated by international players. Here's a quick rundown on 10 of them that have a chance to go in the first round.
by Sam Vecenie
@sam_vecenie
May 7, 2016 at 11:55 am ET • 12 min read
The international pool is going to play a large role in this draft. There's no doubt about it.
Not only are people around the league relatively underwhelmed with the domestic college class of players, but the international crop this time around is fairly strong. That crop does not even include guys like Ben Simmons, Buddy Hield, and Jakob Poeltl who attended college while being from international waters. Instead, when we refer to international players, we refer to them as the NBA does: players declaring for the draft after playing outside of the United States over their last few seasons.
The 2003 draft holds the record for most international players selected in the first round with eight. In the 2016 draft, I currently have 10 international players in my top 37 players, which means this draft could end up surpassing that for international dominance in the opening stanza.
That means it's worth getting to know some of the overseas players who could end up joining the ranks of the NBA sooner rather than later. Here's a quick rundown of what you need to know about those 10 international players.
Dragan Bender (3) is the top international prospect in the draft. (Getty Images)
Dragan Bender | F | Maccabi Tel Aviv (No. 3 on CBS Sports NBA Draft Big Board)
Bender is the guy most NBA draft fans are familiar with. He's still just 18 years old, and playing in European competition for one of Israel's top teams. That's pretty rare, and it speaks to how strong of a prospect Bender is even if he's only getting slightly over 10 minutes per game.
The 7-foot Croatian has been inconsistent against the tough level of competition, but his production hasn't been all that bad on a per-minute basis. Bender is currently averaging 11.5 points, six rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game, which is actually pretty strong for his age given the high level of competition. What teams like about Bender is that he's a true 7-footer who can not only hit shots from the outside, but he also defends players both on the perimeter and inside as well as has terrific feel for the game in terms of the way he attacks the ball and makes passes. He's not the most explosive athlete and he's still rather skinny in his frame, but Bender profiles well in the modern NBA given his skill set.
This isn't a situation like Kristaps Porzingis last year where you can expect Bender to come in immediately and star. Heck, it's not even assured yet that he comes to America in the 2016-17 season (even though if you made me predict now, I'd say he comes over). But long-term, Bender should become an excellent NBA player, and he's currently projected to go in the No. 3 through 12 range.
Timothe Luwawu | G/F | Mega Leks (No. 12)
Luwawu could have left for the draft last year and would have had a shot to go in the first round, but instead returned to European hoops and moved from the French League to the Adriatic League. There, he broke out in a big way for Mega Leks this season, scoring 14.6 points, grabbing 4.8 rebounds and dishing out 2.8 assists per.
Last year, Luwawu was mostly an athlete at 6-foot-7 with a 6-11 wingspan who profiled well as a 3-and-D type. This year though, he's made some pretty significant strides due to the offensive load he has to handle. He's improved a bit as a ball-handler, made some strides in his jump-shooting ability from behind the arc, and l0oks to have increased his general strength. The key for Luwawu becoming more than just a role player though will be his ability to finish around the rim. Despite the gifts that would make you think he'd be superb there, he's actually really struggled inside the arc this season, only hitting 43 percent of those attempts. That's led to a relatively inefficient 39.8 percent mark from the field that despite his overall development is relatively scary.
Luwawu is currently seen as going somewhere in the No. 10 through 20 range.
Furkan Korkmaz | G | Anadolu Efes (No. 16)
Korkmaz is one of the youngest players in this draft class, not turning 19 until July. At around 6-7, the Turkish wing is a bouncy athlete vertically who makes up for a lack of lateral explosiveness with terrific feel for the game. Like Bender above him, Korkmaz plays for a Euroleague team in Anadolu Efes that actually advanced to the Round of 16, meaning he's only getting 12 minutes per game.
Having said that, he's done relatively well in those 12 minutes, putting up per-36 numbers of 13.7 points and four rebounds as a fourth or fifth option on the floor. Over the last two years, Korkmaz has become quite a strong shooter, hitting 43 percent of his 150-plus attempts over that time. At the junior level, he's also shown the ability to create his own shot and pass for others. Last summer, Korkmaz was named to the All-Tournament team at the U-19 World Championships as an underage player, as well as to the All-Tourney team at the U-18 European Championships. He needs to improve defensively and really improve his body -- he's extremely skinny at this point -- but the tools are there for Korkmaz to become a solid offensive wing who would fit well in a motion/pass-heavy offense due to his playmaking and shooting ability.
Because of his performance in those two events last summer, scouts have a relatively good feel for where Korkmaz is at this point. He'll likely go somewhere near the end of the lottery through pick No. 22 if he decides to stay in the draft.
Ante Zizic | C | KK Cibona (No. 22)
Zizic is the latest in what has become a relatively fruitful tree in the Adriatic League. The 6-11 center (who reportedly has a 7-3 wingspan, per DraftExpress) is putting up terrific numbers as a player who just turned 19 in January. He's averaging 14.5 points and 8.47 rebounds over all competition this season. His rebounding leads the Adriatic League, and his 24.2 PER is one of the best numbers ever put up by a player his age in the league. He was named the league's Top Prospect, winning the award over the aforementioned Luwawu.
Beyond the measurement and production, what makes Zizic such a strong prospect is his motor. The Croatian is not necessarily one of the most explosive guys you'll find out there, but he never stops moving or giving effort. He crashes the glass, runs the floor well, and really does a great job of always just putting himself in the middle of the action. Offensively, he has terrific feel for when to dive toward the rim to get a pass from a teammate, and does an excellent job finishing once he gets there. The biggest question he'll have in the NBA is whether or not he can make better decisions with the ball, as he'll occasionally struggle with turnovers and has never had much in the way of vision to find teammates once he gets into trouble.
Still, it's to ignore the production that Zizic has put up. He's a strong player in a league filled with solid big men that typically five to 10 years older than he is. He should go somewhere in the No. 20 to 35 range in this draft and be a draft-and-stash prospect.
Juan Hernangomez | F | Movistar Estudiantes (No. 24)
The brother of Knicks' pick Guillermo Hernangomez last season, Juan had a superb season in the ACB League -- widely considered to be the second-best domestic league in the world. He' a 6-9 stretch-four type that hit 35 percent of his 3s this season and still was effective inside, putting up a 57.5 true-shooting percentage and an excellent 22.8 defensive rebounding rate.
Given the way the NBA is going, Hernangomez would seem to have a pretty nice skill set to bring overseas to America. He still needs to improve a bit in a variety of ways before he can get there, though. Defense is going to be a bit of a question in the NBA, as he's not necessarily the most mobile guy. Offensively, he hasn't shown much in the way of vision yet in his career. But the shooting is solid, he's tough, and works hard on the floor. With some improvement, it's easy to see him becoming an NBA player.
I'd put his draft range right around No. 23 to No. 45 at this point. Some are going to really like the toughness, feel for the game, and production at his age. Others won't buy him translating to the NBA level due to his relative lack of explosiveness. It's also worth noting that scouts are pretty familiar with him at this point, as he was All-Tournament team last summer at the U-20 European Championships. There won't be any surprises here.
Ivica Zubac | C | Mega Leks (No. 27)
Zubac had a bit of a trying year on the professional level this season after a bit of a breakout last summer at the U-19 World Championships. During that event, the 7-footer averaged 17.6 points and 7.9 rebounds on the Croatian team that won the silver medal. In the title game against players like Chinanu Onuaku and Harry Giles, Zubac had a solid double-double as the Croatians fell just short against the Americans.
However, he wasn't able to build on that success this season for a variety of reasons. Zubac has been forced to move clubs twice this season. He began the season with Cibona, like Zizic above him, but left due to payment issues. He tried to move across the city of Zagreb to Cedetiva, but the Croatian federation held up that move. He's now with Mega Leks, and hasn't really gotten much in the way of playing time this season. Therefore, scouts will basically be going off of what they've seen in past events as opposed to this year. Luckily for Zubac, there's a lot to like. He's a mobile 7-footer who finishes well and has solid touch around the rim. His frame is superb, and he should be able to continue to grow into becoming a true big-bodied center.
I'd put his draft range quite similarly to where Zizic's is. Something in the area of No. 20 to No. 35. Unlike Zizic though, Zubac apparently wants to come over to the NBA as soon as possible, which could help or hinder his stock from team to team depending on their situation.
Isaia Cordinier demonstrates his athleticism at the Nike Hoop Summit in 2016. (USA Basketball)
Isaia Cordinier | G | Denain (No. 34)
Cordinier is a 6-5 guard with a bit of bounce and shooting ability. Currently, he's averaging 10.9 points per game in the French Pro-B league, while putting up 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. It's solid production for the relatively raw wing, but what teams will be looking for is more what he can be than what is now.
The French wing has superb play-making ability for a wing, capable of seeing the entire floor and making tremendous passes for others. He's also hitting 43 percent of his 3s this season, which bodes well for the next level. The key for him at this point is his ball-handling ability, as while he's shifty and has solid change of pace, he still needs to get to the point where he feels comfortable handling in tight spaces. His body could also use some work, especially in the lower half, and defensively he's struggled a bit this season with hand-checking.
Still though, the athleticism, feel, and shooting is there to go with the size. He got a chance to show off some of these skills at the Nike Hoop Summit this April, but in the end the week ended up not particularly showcasing much due to the superiority of the USA team over the World Team. If Cordinier stays in the draft, I'd expect him to go somewhere in the No. 25 to No. 40 range.
Petr Cornelie | PF | Le Mans (No. 35)
Cornelie is an interesting 6-11 stretch-four type who is hitting 43 percent of his 3-pointers this season for Le Mans in French Pro A and European competition. On the whole, he's averaging 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, which isn't bad production given that he's still 20 years old.
Cornelie is athletic, moves well, and can stretch the floor, meaning he's certainly going to have some takers when it comes to getting drafted. However, he's still extremely skinny at this point, and doesn't seem to have a frame that looks like it will handle weight well. He's also not much of a passer, as his 3.3 assist rate is among the lowest in this international crop. His feel for the game can be a bit low from time to time, it seems like.
Still, as mentioned above, any time there is a 6-11 shooter like Cornelie, he'll garner some interest. If he decides to stay in the draft, I'd expect him to go anywhere from No. 25 to No. 45.
Paul Zipser | SF | Bayern Munich (No. 36)
Zipser is a regular rotation player at 22 years old on Bayern Munich, a Euroleague team that was eliminated in the first round but is now finding success in the Eurocup. At 6-8, 210 pounds, Zipser profiles well as a wing in the NBA. He's known as a good, versatile defender that has hit over 40 percent of his 3s in every professional season that he's undertaken at Bayern, with around two and a half of those years being as a rotation player getting 10 to 20 minutes a game.
As a 22-year-old, he'll be automatically eligible for this NBA Draft. Really, there's a lot to like about him. He's athletic, defends multiple positions, hits shots, plays well away from the ball, and has terrific feel for the game. It's extremely easy to see a team plugging him into their lineup sooner rather than later and having a solid contributor. The reason his stock isn't necessarily higher is because he's just doesn't quite have the ceiling of some of these other players right now.
However, if a team is just looking for a solid guy that they can fit into their lineup now, Zipser is who they're looking for. Look for him to go in the No. 20 to No. 45 range of the draft when it comes down to it.
Zhou Qi | C | Xinjiang (No. 37)
Zhou is one of more divisive prospects in this draft. Long been considered one of the top young players in his country, the 7-2 center has a tremendous 7-6 wingspan, good shot-blocking instincts, and good touch around the rim. He's averaging 15.8 points and 9.7 rebounds per game to go with a block rate that basically dwarfs any other in the league. The important number to look at there is the rebounding, as his defensive rebounding rate has gone up from 17.9 to 24.3 this year, a massively important leap if he is to carve out an NBA role.
He's done that by improving his body over the last year. When Zhou went to Hoop Summit in 2015, he was extremely skinny and ended up hurting his ankle early in the process. This season, he seems to be a bit more solid, even if the frame still looks to be an issue. His muscle mass has definitely increased, but the question still remains as to whether it will be enough to deal with the physicality of being a rim protector in the NBA.
I have Zhou below the nine players above him because I'm not sure I buy into his body ever maturing enough. I'd put his draft range as the most volatile of these players, anywhere from No. 15 to No. 45. He'll be at the draft combine -- the only international player in attendance -- where he will look to assuage some of the doubts. If he can do so, he might be able to work his way into that first round picture in a bigger way.

Q: Are there any alternatives to Spicy parser generator oriented at embedded systems? Necessity to parse data received over a serial interface like SPI, UART, USB etc. usually ends up w/ writing a custom parser. There is a beautiful solution to this that goes by name Spicy (https://docs.zeek.org/projects/spicy/en/latest/index.html). But it is desktop-oriented - the generated code relies on a number of dependencies.
So, does Spicy have any alternatives applicable in the domain of embedded systems i.e. those that generate pure C/C++/Rust parsers?


Once you become a vaper there are two important things you need to constantly stock up on – e-liquids and atomizer heads. And while atomizer heads are usually the same and last between 1 – 2 weeks each, e-juices are a totally different story.
Finding an e-liquid you love is crucial for a satisfying vape experience and luckily we now have thousands of brands and the most interesting flavor combinations. But what is an e-liquid, what is it made from and most importantly what's the deal with VG and PG?
E-liquids – how do they work?
An e-liquid or e-juice is the substance used in all e-cigarettes, vaporizer pens and mods. This is what gets transformed into vapor and it's what provides that much craved nicotine buzz. The liquid is usually more viscos than water, has a pleasant odor and it's transparent – with various tints depending on the type of flavoring used.
E-liquid is absorbed by the wicking material inside the atomizer and gets vaporized by the coil each time the user presses the fire button on his or her mod.
Any e-juice is made from four essential components: Vegetable Glycerin (or VG), Propylene Glycol (or PG), nicotine, and flavorings. The first two – VG and PG – make up the base of the e-liquid and the ratio between them accounts for its end viscosity, throat hit, vapor production and flavor intensity.
VG and PG are generally recognized as safe in the quantities used for vaping and nicotine is the same as that found in the leaves of tobacco plants.
Nicotine concentration ranges from 0mg per milliliter up to 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg and 18mg. Of course you can buy e-liquids with higher concentrations – like 24mg – but these are the most commonly used percentages.
Besides nicotine concentration, one of the key features of any e-liquid is its VG to PG ratio. VG is thicker and accounts for bigger clouds, while PG is thinner and it's responsible for flavor and throat hit. An e-liquid with a higher VG concentration will be a lot smoother, will produce more vapor but the flavor won't be as intense. On the other hand, and e-liquid with a higher PG concentration will produce less vapor but the flavor and throat hit will be much better.
But the most important aspect of VG is the thickness of the liquid. Juices with 40 – 50% VG are thinner and will work with smaller vape pens and pod mods. Juices with 60 – 70% VG are considered regular and will work on the wide majority of devices. What's above 70% VG it's considered high-VG or full-VG and these juices only work on certain types of atomizers like RDAs or high end sub ohm tanks.
When choosing an e-liquid the most important aspect is its flavor profile. Beginners usually go for tobacco and menthol, but there are also other appealing options like fruits and desserts. We recommend nicotine concentrations of 6mg for starters and you can go lower and higher afterwards.
A good VG-PG ratio to start is 60/40 as it provides good vapor production, nice flavor and works on the wide majority of devices.


Today's card is a Bridge Card - I would also like to share with you how I made it. Here is a small tutorial.
I took a piece of coloured card sock and scored it into three equal sections. The two outside sections were also scored down the middle - all were creased with a bone folder. White card stock was cut to fit each section.
The images from Climbing Orchid were stamped, coloured, die cut and assembled. A branch from Seasonal Layers was also die cut.
The white card stock was stamped with the Hardwood stamp and the edges sponged.
This was done with Crumb Cake ink and Early Espresso.
The pieces were stuck down.
The orchid images were arranged and stuck down.
A piece of card stock was attached to the card which enables the card to stand up. The strip is the length of the card when one of the side panels has been folded in. This means that it folds flat for posting.
More orchids were assembled to decorate the side panels.
A sentiment was added to finish off the card.
A lovely card and a great tutorial! Thanks for joining us at Make My Monday.

A little while ago French electronic virtuoso Anthony Gonzalez, under his M83 moniker, announced that he would be releasing an "epic" double album this year the follow up to 09' highly successful Saturdays = Youth. With this news he also released the record's first single "Midnight City" and revealed that there would be a collaboration with Nika Danilova; you may know her as goth chanteuse Zola Jesus.
We now have that song available for your audible delight, an album opener simply called "Intro" that utilizes Danilova's mysterious and powerful vocals over layers of dreamy synthesizers. If it's any indication, Gonzalez certainly wasn't skimping when he said that Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was going to be a hell of an epic album. Listen below; Hurry Up, We're Dreaming comes out on October 18th.

Consider the main scale of the world wide web - precisely what are you taking a look at covering for what use? For example will you be trekking and sleeping rough under the stars? Alternatively, will you be staying in a room with windows and doors? Location and use are very important factors to contemplate when purchasing.
Lots of people purchase nets that can be pre-addressed with insecticides. This can help to counteract bites and makes all the net substantially more effective- nonetheless you could still purchase untreated nets. You must stick to the manufacturers instructions facing a pre-treated net, especially regarding washing it.
