Spotify Has Now 100M Paid Subscribers and One of the Most Important Pieces of their Strategy is Latin America
Spotify had a plan to beat the strong competition and LatAm has a lot to do with how they are making this come true.
Livia Perretto
Earlier this year, in a news story of Financial Times, Spotify talked about their plan to keep on succeeding worldwide: by replicating in other emerging markets what they did in Latin America.
They seem to be collecting the results from this endeavor: Spotify's financial results report for 2019's first quarter, launched on Monday and to which several news outlets had access to, revealed that the music-streaming service has an audience of 217 million monthly active users worldwide. From these 217 million, 100 million are paid subscribers. It's double the volume of paid subscribers that its main competitor achieved this year.
To reach this impressive point, Spotify had learned a lot from the Latin American markets, as reported by Financial Times news story. The first Latin American country that became a good surprise for Spotify was Mexico: even without the resources for this, the brand became the favorite among the music-streamings. One year later, they entered into the Brazilian market, still with no big resources, local office, and no further efforts, but marketing campaigns.
The results were even more remarkable: Brazil became a market as important as Mexico.

The success was so huge in these countries that the company invested in LatAm before entering the Canadian market. Besides that, Will Page, Spotify's director of economics, told the Financial Times that the company's expectations are that Mexico and Brazil will overcome UK and Germany in number of subscribers.
With a connected and young audience, Latin American countries were the emerging markets with early adopters that Spotify needed to keep growing around the world.
The results in Latin America were so expressive that the founder, Daniel Ek, made the decision to replicate the strategy globally for emerging markets, according to the Financial Times news story. Not by coincidence, the last movement of the company was to invest in India.
One thing we know for sure: the 100 million paid subscribers milestone has a lot to do with a successful strategy of enjoying the full potential of emerging markets.

Visitors observe a wall with paper butterflies in tribute to Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez at the International Book Fair in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Colombia's central bank will print banknotes to honour the country's most celebrated writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who died in April and is renowned as the father of magical-realism storytelling.
Congress passed a Bill on Tuesday instructing the bank to feature a depiction of "Gabo", as he was affectionately known, on the next bills it produces.
The law also requires that certain sites in his native region be preserved for tourism.
The prolific writer, who started out as a newspaper reporter, was best known for his masterpiece One Hundred Years Of Solitude, which won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. He is credited with bringing Latin America to life for millions of readers with his tales of love and longing.
"Gabo left an extraordinary literary and journalistic collection of work whose distribution, reading and study should be actively promoted," Congressman Antenor Duran was quoted as saying by the newspaper El Espectador.
Garcia Marquez died in April at age 87 in his Mexico City home after a bout of pneumonia.
His archives, including manuscripts, photo albums, typewriters and computers, were acquired by the University of Texas last month.

Eugène August Nygrén, född 28 januari 1878 i Sankt Petersburg, död 7 april 1960 i Helsingfors, var en finländsk industriman. Han var en förgrundsgestalt inom finländsk grafisk industri.

Nygrén stod 1906–1918 i ledningen för Åbo Tryckeri och Tidnings Ab, från 1908 som verkställande direktör. Han byggde därefter upp en grafisk koncern i huvudstaden genom att överta äldre företag i branschen, bland annat Helsingfors Centraltryckeri och Bokbinderi Ab, där han blev verkställande direktör 1924. Han förvärvade 1934 även kontrollen över Holger Schildts förlag, som han engagerade sig i fram till sin död.

Nygrén hade även omfattande kulturella intressen, bland annat som en av förkämparna för den inhemska teateridén; han var följaktligen med om att grunda Folkteatern i Helsingfors och var dess ledare 1899–1906. Han tilldelades industriråds titel 1948. Hans dotter Birgit Nygrén, som övertog faderns rörelse, grundade 1973 testamentariskt Nygrénska stiftelsen, som har till ändamål att främja litterär och annan kulturell verksamhet. Stiftelsen, som inledde sin verksamhet 1988, utdelar ett årligt pris för en betydelsefull finlandssvensk kulturinsats.

As part of our Software & Copyrights practice, we provide software patents services.
Copyrights and license agreements provide typical protection for software. However, software can also be protected through patents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Software is challenging and time consuming to develop. Additionally, patents can be difficult to draft and subsequently get approved. Our patent attorneys register software patents with an understanding of software development and patent law.
According to The Washington Post, "a recent study from the Government Accountability Office found that a disproportionate share of patent litigation concerns software patents." Much of this software litigation is a direct result of relatively new software patents and how quickly they were granted. Poorly drafted patents may cover more features of an invention than the Patent Office may have intended. Therefore, newer legitimate software systems and products might be under frivolous threats of software litigation.
Our attorneys advise and defend companies facing software patent litigation from overly broad patents. We also assist companies with software protection when another company tries to reverse engineer or steal its patented program.
A software patent may protect an idea involving novel and nonobvious software. However, a software copyright may protect the "tangible" expression of the idea through certain types of code. End-users may illegally utilize or repurpose that code in violation of software copyrights. Therefore, our attorneys help monitor the use of software copyrights to help prevent misuse. We also assist in preventing distribution of unauthorized or pirated software copies.
For more information on software patents, see our Legal Insights and Industry Solutions pages.

Plans to welcome Syrian refugees progress
Kirklees will welcome more than 100 refugees over the next two years as part of the government's plan to resettle 20,000 people in the country.
The 100 announced today will be in addition to the two families who will arrive before Christmas as part of the Trail blazer scheme.
Our Council officers and partners in the voluntary and community sector are now continuing to work on plans to secure housing and, where necessary, school places and health support.
Homes will initially be allocated through Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing or a local registered social landlord.
Cllr Erin Hill, our Cabinet Member for Family Support, said:
At the first opportunity, we committed to offering support to the Syrian refugees who have been through unimaginable trauma and need a safe place to live. Our priority has always been to move the refugees into safe, secure and supported housing. We have been working on this for some time to make sure we identify appropriate homes, and in the right location.
Since then, the voluntary and community sector and council officers have really stepped up to ensure that we can welcome our share of refugees and secure them appropriate homes and the right level of support. The scheme prioritises help for survivors of torture and violence, women and children at risk, and those in need of medical care.
Working with Migration Yorkshire and the Home Office, we are now at that point, and the first two groups will arrive before Christmas."
How will this be funded?
We propose to resettle 50-60 individual refugees in year one and a further 50-60 individuals in year two. This will be reviewed as we move into year two.
Government will meet the costs for years one and two for the arrivals, supporting housing management, orientation support, health and education costs. Staffing costs to cover administration of the scheme will also be met.
Cllr Hill said:
I must thank all the voluntary sector groups involved. We are fortunate to have the voluntary and community sector we do in Kirklees. The Kirklees multi-agency group has been working closely together for some time – and while they are working to capacity they still want to do more. We are signposting people with offers of support to that network."

New French Test Is Parliamentary Election
Socialist Hollande Needs Majority to Push Through Agenda
Gabriele Parussini
Updated May 8, 2012 4:54 am ET
PARIS—French voters will return to the polling stations next month for parliamentary polls that will determine how much support Socialist President-elect François Hollande can bank on to push through his political agenda.
Now that voters pushed out President Nicolas Sarkozy and his center-right UMP party from the Élysée Palace on Sunday, the question is whether they also will grant Mr. Hollande a mandate to push through his agenda.
French Celebrations Give Way to Challenges Ahead
Last night at Paris's La Bastille, French socialists cheered the election of François Hollande and celebrated Nicolas Sarkozy's defeat. But today, big change may be difficult for the new French president.


I am 33 years old, halfway through my first bachelor's degree, and digging myself out of the financial mess that was my 20s. I wish someone had told me a few things about life before I grabbed that proverbial shovel and started digging with all of the enthusiasm a 20-something can muster. So, I write to you, current 20-somethings, the letter I wish I could write to my previous self.
You are awesome. You have your whole life ahead of you and you will do some fantastic things. You will earn degrees, find a partner, give back to your communities and find a niche that matches the person you wish to become. But, despite all of that awesomeness, you possess the power to do things that will negatively affect your life. Things that will give you clarity as to why the celebration of your first three decades on earth will forever be known as the "dirty 30." This fate is not guaranteed, however, and with just a few thoughtful decisions and a bit of careful planning, your life can be different.
During my early 20s I had no real financial awareness. I went to two quarters of college and dropped out; I spent frivolously, acquired copious amounts of debt, and I never thought about just how important that oh-so-annoying credit score we all hear so much about would be in the long run.
I applied for credit cards, bought a car, ate out for every meal, drank designer coffees like they were going out of style and ended up owing student loans for classes I never finished. I "forgot" to pay some bills, always telling myself I'd get to it later. It seemed that there were always more important things to pay for, like designer clothes and having fun. Long story short: I ruined my credit.
Fast forward 10 years, and I encountered my very own "dirty 30." I wanted to buy a house, but the bank said "no way." I needed a new car but this was also a no-go for a loan. I had a low credit score that followed me around like a dark cloud and left me with little shelter from the rain. It has affected every aspect of my life, from getting married in the way I had envisioned, to having children and watching my family grow with the security of a sound financial existence. I was 30 years old and owned nothing of any real value.
I have worked the past few years to bring up my score, but it turns out that ruining your credit happens much more quickly than the repair. I have slowly worked on paying off some of my debts, but I still have more to go. I have made the decision to go back to school, and will finally earn that degree I disregarded so nonchalantly so many years ago. I hope that I can finally dig myself out of the financial hole that was my 20s by the time that I turn 40. I can both proudly and sadly admit that at this point, that 40 is a realistic goal. I am sad that I will reach these goals so much later in my life than I would have liked, but proud that I have finally found the sense to reach them at all.
I urge you to spend your 20s engaged in your financial future. Make better decisions than I did, and buy that house when you are ready, not ten years later. Seek guidance before making large purchases and be responsible with your credit. Make a plan, listen to those with experience, and invest in yourself through education and financial awareness. Save for a rainy day, and make your financial future steadfast and strong. When you get to that celebration of your first three decades on this Earth, celebrate your "sturdy 30" instead of your "dirty 30," and I promise, you will be glad that you did.

Little Cayman still has the atmosphere of an island that time has forgotten, and those who have visited Little Cayman find it difficult to express the experience in words. The crystal clear waters, world class diving, deserted beaches, bountiful fish, wildlife, vegetation and the natural relaxed lifestyle, combine to make this vacation destination unforgettable.
At Sam McCoy's Diving and Fishing Lodge we offer the experience of a Caymanian family, and are widely regarded as the pioneers of diving in Little Cayman with the establishment of the first shore based diving operation well over 20 years ago. With combined experience of over 40 years in the diving industry, our dive masters are all Caymanian and have a wealth of experience diving in Little Cayman. With an excellent safety record, they assure personalized attention for any level of diving expertise.
Sam McCoy's is the only lodge located on the Little Cayman's North Shore which is world famous for two features: Bloody Bay Wall and shore diving from Jackson's Point. The diving on Little Cayman has become world famous since the discovery of the pristine walls and coral gardens at Bloody Bay and Jackson Bight in the late 1970's. Over twenty spectacular dive sites await you in these two areas, and there are also other dive sites including a wreck dive of the Soto Trader on the South side of the island. Our comfortable, customized, dive boat (30' 'Caymaniac') will take you to any of these dive sites in less than 10 minutes.
Our lodge consists of fully air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms. After a day of diving, you can relax on the deck of our swimming pool and jacuzzi or enjoy our multi-person hammock shed with a good book. Take in gorgeous Caribben sunsets from our seaside patio bar, while enjoying your favourite cocktail. Meals are served family style in the dining room of the main lodge, and consists of international and Caymanian cuisine. You'll enjoy this good home cooking after a day of diving.

Sam McCoy's also offers valuable small group packages (16 or less) that are tailored to suit any group's needs. Most packages carry with them the added incentive for dive store retailers and trade partners to come along with the group free of cost - *with a minimum booking of 8 persons, all travelling together.
Sam McCoy's Lodge is located on the North side of Little Cayman, a mere 5-minute boat ride from the world renowned BLOODY BAY WALL. We cater to all levels of experienced Divers, Relaxers and Fishermen with a casual and relaxed atmosphere. We limit the number of divers on our boats to that guests will have a comfortable experience that affords the optimum attention from a dive master. Amenities include a freshwater pool with Jacuzzi, hammock house and bicycles.
Your visit to beautiful Little Cayman would not be complete unless you stop by the McCoy's Sunset Bar and Patio - feeling lucky - try to catch a glimpse of the "GREEN FLASH."

Q: Conditional mutate in a custom function to change a character column in R Suppose I have the following function in R:
my_function <- function(date1, date2, variable, quota, monthly_business_days) {
    my_data %>%
        filter(between(DATE, ymd(date1), ymd(date2))) %>%
        summarize(total = sum({{variable}})) %>%
        add_row(total = quota, .before = 1) %>%
        rbind(.$total[[2]]/bizdays(date1, date2)*monthly_business_days)
    if(variable == UNITS) {
        %>% mutate(indicator = c("Quota (Units)", "Sales (Units)", "Forecast (Units)"))
    } else {
        %>% mutate(indicator = c("Quota (USD)", "Sales (USD)", "Forecast (USD)"))
    }
}

Depending on the input on "variable", which refer to columns in "my_data" dataframe, I would like to proceed in different ways (see the if/else chunk). However, it is not possible to do this with dplyr (the only option would be writing everything separately, but I cannot afford to write that many lines of code). I'm currently working in a Shiny Application trying to reduce the lines of code with the use of functional programming.
Different posts here on StackOverflow have not given me the answer so far.
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

A: Try using the below function :
library(dplyr)

my_function <- function(date1, date2, variable, quota, monthly_business_days) {
  value <- deparse(substitute(variable))

  my_data %>%
    filter(between(DATE, ymd(date1), ymd(date2))) %>%
    summarize(total = sum({{variable}})) %>%
    add_row(total = quota, .before = 1) %>%
    rbind(.$total[[2]]/bizdays(date1, date2)*monthly_business_days) %>%
    mutate(indicator = if(value == 'UNITS') c("Quota (Units)", "Sales (Units)", "Forecast (Units)")
                       else c("Quota (USD)", "Sales (USD)", "Forecast (USD)"))

}

Google Project Ara – The Cheapest Android Smartphone Will be Released This Year
Google finally understood the preferences of a typical phone user who is looking to buy a new device. There's a small category of premium customers who pay over $600 on a flagship like Nexus 6, there's the middle category of mid-range phones with decent features, and there's the third category of people who don't want to invest too much money on a new phone, but they want to enjoy the Android experience at low costs. Google will be the first manufacturer to create a cheap modular smartphone, a device whose components can be replaced when they're malfunctioning, and they can also buy the basic phone with mid-range components, then upgraded them later. Meet Project Ara, which will make its debut later this year.
Here's what you need to know before buying an Ara model. You will buy a basic model and customize it, by purchasing hardware modules from Google's dedicated store, where third-party manufacturers are selling their components. So, you will be able to equip your device with a camera or a display, a physical keyboard, a scanner, a sensor, wireless modules or any other items manufactured by Samsung or any other giant name, just like you're personalizing your Android phone with applications from the Google Play store.
The Verge visited Google's headquarters and had the chance to take a look at some functional Ara prototype, but the representatives didn't let the journalists to turn it on and use it. However, they concluded that the hardware was pretty solid because of the aluminum and steel frame, but the modules felt light and the ribbed channels on the Spiral 2 are somehow odd.
Lately, Google has been in talks with processor manufacturers such as Marvell and NVIDIA, to convince them to build separate module prototypes for the Ara device, and they will offer the PXA1928 and Tegra K1 CPUs which will use a Toshiba UniPro bridge ASIC that is needed to connect to the on-device network.
Released in Puerto Rico
Google will most likely bring the Project Ara pilot to Puerto Rico, according to a video posted by Google's ATAP division on YouTube, in which was specified that this country will be the location of the "Market Pilot". Google chose this region because 77 percent of the population uses mobile phones, while landline phones are losing ground. This means that the mobile market is very competitive and the carrier with the biggest share is AT&T, which takes 25% market share. But Google wants to collaborate with OpenMobile and Claro, to sell its Ara smartphones.
Ara, available worldwide starting from August 2015
According to a report from March 2, inside sources from Yezz, a global phone manufacturer which is a part of Google's Ara Project, said that the modular phone will be released worldwide in August 2015. Pocket-lint, the publication that talked to Yezz's reps, said that the cell phone manufacturer "will be contributing to Ara's vast accessibility, collaborating to establish a viable module marketplace that will allow for optimum customization".
Project Ara, showcased at Google I/O 2014
There's a video on YouTube in which project chief Paul Eremenko is assembling an Ara device, adding component modules and then booting it up. Well, it's not actually loading the home screen, but you can see the Android logo and the clock. At that time, the phone had some normal issues because it was in an early stage of development, but until it will finally be released, it will run flawlessly. Perhaps Google will decide to inform the audience at the Google I/O 2015 event about the development of the Ara device.
Hot-Swappable modules
For the first time in history, you will be able to replace the battery and any other module on your smartphone without turning it off. Except for the processor and display, the rest of the modules can be removed from the phone anytime you want, and you will buy new modules from the online store, to upgrade your handset. If you don't like your camera, buy another module with a larger sensor with optical image stabilization or other better features. You can change the physical keyboard, enhance the speakers, get a bigger battery and build the perfect smartphone.
According to Time, the phone will arrive at a price of $50 and Google intends to sell 6 billion units all over the world. The basic Ara phone will come with WiFi connectivity, but the users can add 3G and 4G radios. Also, in the meantime, Google released the Module Developers Kit (MDK) for the independent developers who can build module pieces for the Project Ara. The kit contains the three sizes of the handset: mini, medium and large, so that the developers will know what sizes will have the component parts they'll create for this phone. Also, the users will be able to choose smaller of larger touch screens or Qwerty keyboards.

Odd Spending
When New Cars Are Cheaper Than Used Cars
By Brad Tuttle @bradrtuttleMarch 22, 2012

Why Are Used Cars So Expensive? Christian Science Monitor
Diagnostic Tools to Unleash Your Inner Mechanic Wall Street Journal
Sometimes, thanks to a combination of soaring used car values and special dealership and automaker incentives, the stars align and a fluky thing happens: Buying a new car is cheaper than a used version of the same model. It's possible to find this scenario in the marketplace right now.
Late last fall, word spread that the end of the year would be an excellent time to buy a used car. Used car prices had just decreased over the course of several months, so the expert advice was to pull the trigger in the near future before, it was anticipated, prices started to rise again.
Surely, many consumers shrugged off the suggestion. Folks in the auto industry always seem to be saying that "Right Now!" is a terrific time to buy. After all, when's the last time you heard an auto insider advise against buying a car?
Based on how used car prices have soared in early 2012—thanks, at least partly, due to rising gas prices—the experts apparently weren't crying wolf in late 2011. In retrospect, it really was a good time to buy a used car.
(MORE: Where Gas Prices Have Soared Even Higher Than California)
Now and for some time to come, reports the Christian Science Monitor, anyone looking for a deal on a slightly used car is out of luck:
"We're seeing extremely high levels of pricing pretty much across the board" for used cars, says Jessica Caldwell, senior analyst at Edmunds.com, an online automotive information company based in Santa Monica, Calif. "A lot of the time, if you're going to buy a late-model used car, it doesn't make financial sense."
In the fall of 2010, Edmunds noted that in several cases, buying new was cheaper than buying used, especially after factoring in special financing promotions. Now, the same situation has popped up for buyers considering certain car models:
When Edmunds calculated the cost of a new CX-9 versus a one-year-old certified pre-owned model, it found that it was actually $1,020 less expensive to buy the new one once it figured in financing costs over the five-year life of the loan. A new Mazda2 Sport Hatchback was $480 cheaper than its one-year-old version.
(MORE: What, You Only Have 100K Miles on Your Car? That's Nothing)
For most models, it's still cheaper to buy used. But the price difference between new and used is smaller than it once was. Over the last half-year or so, used cars have sold for roughly 12% less than their new counterparts, compared to a nearly 17% difference in 2009.
As cars grow increasingly capable of being driven 150K or 200K miles, old ideas about the pace of depreciation are disappearing, and used cars—especially those with low mileage—are likely to hold their value longer. At the same time, dealerships have to do what they can to incentivize customers to buy new cars, because they don't want too many new models sitting on their lots month after month.

Q: Study $ h(x)= \sqrt{x^2-1}-x-3$
Let $g$ be the function defined by
    $$\begin{array}{lrcl}
 h : & [1;+\infty[  & \longrightarrow & \mathbb{R} \\
     & x & \longmapsto & h(x)= \sqrt{x^2-1}-x-3 \end{array}$$

*

*Study the Variations on $[1;+\infty [$, of function $g$

*Deduce the sign of $g$ according to $x$

My proof:
we have $h'(x)=\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1} }-1$, always positive on the interval$[1; +\infty[$ , then $h$ is strictly increasing ($ h'$ isn't vanishes for any number $\forall x \in[1;+\infty[,\quad  h'(x)\neq 0$) on the same interval, since it is continuous, it has $h( [1;+\infty[)=[h(1) ;\lim_{x\to +\infty}h(x)[=[-4;-3[$
and then  $h$ is negative on the interval $[1 ;+\infty[$

*

*Is My proof correct ? is there any other way to prove it. Thanks.

Update:
here how i calculate the $\lim_{x\to +\infty}h(x)=-3$
\begin{align}
\lim_{x\to+\infty}h(x)&=\lim_{x\to+\infty}\sqrt{x^2-1}-x-3\\
&=\lim_{x\to+\infty}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x^2-1}-(x+3))(\sqrt{x^2-1}+x+3)}{\sqrt{x^2-1}+(x+3)}\\
&=\lim_{x\to+\infty}\dfrac{((x^2-1)-(x+3)^2)}{x\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}+(x+3)}\\
&=\lim_{x\to+\infty}\dfrac{-6-\frac{10}{x}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}+1+\frac{3}{x}}=\frac{-6}{2}=-3
\end{align}

Open defecation worsening Nigeria's health challenges, Experts warn
Experts in the health sector have warned that unless stringent measures are adopted to check open defecation, Nigeria's health challenges will be aggravated.
According to the experts, Nigeria comes second to India as the country with the highest prevalence of open defecation in the world.
They warned that the situation is critical because Nigeria has, in only a couple of years, moved from the fifth position on the global table of countries with open defecation to the second position currently.
This was one of the critical issues thrown up at a two-day training workshop on 'Communication for Behaviour Change in Essential Family Practices' for various media houses, programme managers, state and national information officers, organised by the Delta State Ministry of Information in collaboration with UNICEF.
Specifically, it was revealed that Nigeria, with over 47 million people still practicing open defecation instead of using toilets, is today worse off than countries like Ethiopia and Indonesia, where over 27 million and 32 million people, respectively, defecate openly still, according to latest survey.
Delta State Commissioner for Information, Chief Patrick Ukah, who declared the workshop open in Asaba, described the training as timely and critical especially in the light of the numerous challenges today in family healthcare practices and implementation of relevant government policies for the citizens.
Ukah assured that the Okowa administration was committed to good hygiene and sanitation practice in homes as well as public places in line with its healthcare policies, noting that media and information practitioners need training and refreshers courses to augment reading and research, so as to be able to inform members of the public accurately and promptly.
According to UNICEF's experts, Dr Hilary Ozoh and Martha Hokonya, media role in arousing both the citizens and government to issues of Water Sanitation Hygiene (WASH) cannot be overstressed considering the huge effects of open defecation on Nigerians and the attainment of United Nations' deadline of open-defecation-free world in 2030.
Nigerian governments at all levels should urgently address the issue even in public hospitals and other health facilities, markets and schools because the country's health challenges could only worsen with air and water pollution in addition to flies, cockroaches and rodents freely transmitting various diseases among the people.
UNICEF Health Specialist, Dr Abe Eghe, who gave an in-depth analysis of "Essential Family Practices in Health and Key Messages", underscored the importance of access to appropriate media information to safe motherhood and newborn vis-a-vis the promotion of child right, saying the government could save tens of billions of naira needed annually to tackle numerous health problems, by investing in WASH programmes and addressing the open defecation challenge.
UNICEF's Nutrition and safe motherhood specialist, Mrs Ngozi Onuora, who drilled participants on current nutritional status of Delta State as well as maternal and under-five mortality, malnutrition and school enrolment, noted that the media have a massive challenge to draw attention to issues in a holistic manner, including influencing advocacy and policies.
The Executive Director, Delta State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Jude Winful-Orieke, the acting Permanent Secretary in the state information ministry, Mr Paul Osahor and the UNICEF Focal person in the information ministry who is also the Delta State Chairman of National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Mrs Pat Gbemudu, were among those who gave goodwill messages at the event.
The highpoint of the training exercise was the fashioning of pidgin and standard English media reports and jingle format for radio and television programmes, by participants under the guidance of the UNICEF resource persons, on some critical areas including Nutrition, Immunization, Breast/Complementary Feeding, Open Defecation, Hygiene and Water Sanitation.

Drug possession is an offence under Section 10 of the Drugs (Misuse and Trafficking) Act. To be found guilty of drug possession, the prosecution needs to demonstrate that you had an illicit drug in your possession, custody or control at the time of the alleged offence. The drug doesn't have to be yours. You can be holding it for a friend, or it could have been planted on you or in your car or room without your knowledge. Drug possession is a summary offence, which means it will be dealt with in the local court.
To be found guilty of drug possession, the prosecution needs to show that you had an illegal drug in your possession and you were aware, or should have reasonably been aware, that the drug was present. If the drug was not in your possession at the time of the alleged offence, or you were unaware that you had an illegal drug in your possession, you may be found not guilty. If you choose to plead not guilty to a charge of drug possession, the matter will go to a defended hearing, and you will be required to provide evidence to support your plea.
Your best defence will depend on the circumstances surrounding the charges and whether you have previously been charged with drug possession or any other drug-related offences. To successfully defend yourself against a charge of drug possession, you need to create reasonable doubt that you were in possession of a prohibited drug, or that you were aware of it at the time.
If you agree to the charges made against you, it is often a good idea to plead guilty. Pleading guilty shows that you accept responsibility and allows you to demonstrate your remorse. This can help encourage the magistrate to look favourably on you and help you get a better outcome. If you plead guilty, you may be able to avoid conviction altogether. Drug possession charges are often dealt with under a section 10 dismissal or conditional release order, which is a finding of guilt with no conviction.
Drug possession may seem like a minor offence, however it can result in a criminal record, which can impact your ability to work and travel.
However, the team at Sydney Drug Lawyers can help you avoid these serious consequences. Our expert knowledge of drug law, combined with our years of experience fighting possession matters allows us to obtain the best possible outcome in every case. In many possession cases, we've been able to obtain 'non conviction orders,' which is where you are found guilty of the offence but no conviction is recorded – leaving you free to work and travel as you please.
For any questions about drug possession NSW charges, or if you need legal advice and representation, please contact us today. Our highly experienced drug lawyers can help you get the best possible outcome for your drug possession charges.

On Monday, March 25, 2013, Evidence, A Dance Company, held its 9th Annual Gala at The Plaza Hotel in New York City. This year?s star-studded, black-tie affair hosted by actress Lynn Whitfield and chaired by Tonya Lewis Lee and Spike Lee paid homage to the late Beth Young, a dance enthusiast who studied dance from Senegal and Brazil and was a long-time Evidence supporter. She passed away last year. In a dance tribute to Young, the Company performed, Torch.
?This is the first time I created something about the joy of life and the journey of grief. It was full circle for me. When Beth passed away last year, I wanted to pay honor to her. I wanted to pass that torch and I realized that we [the dancers] are the torch. My board of directors respected how much the piece meant to me and respected how highly I spoke of Beth. They decided that we should have a Torch Ball,? Evidence founder and artistic director Ronald K. Brown told The Network Journal. Shortly after, he presented the Community Activist Award to Young?s twin sister.?
The dance company blends African, modern, ballet and social dance styles to tell stories about the human experience. Founded 28 years ago by Brown, the Brooklyn-based company is best known for its celebration of the African Diaspora through spirited performances that are often set to a unique mix of gospel, house, and soul music. Brown is credited with choreographing the popular, crowd-pleaser Grace, a three-part piece anchored by the music of Duke Ellington and his first commission for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; he says he created it as a way to say thank you to Mr. Ailey. ?I did my first commission for the Ailey Company in 1999. I made my first piece in the second grade after seeing the Ailey Company perform. Before that, I was a little boy who was afraid to take dance lessons. I wanted to make a piece for Mr. Ailey where I could say thank you. The word ?grace? came to mind,? says Brown.??????
Brown, who recently won a Tony-award for his choreography work in THE GERSHWINS? PORGY AND BESS, started the company just out of high school and named it Evidence because he wanted it to be ?a reflection of the human condition.? Now, Brown?s authenticity and talent have garnered the attention and financial backing of an impressive array of big-time donors from both the arts world and the Fortune 500 business community. In 1999, Reginald Van Lee, executive vice president at Booz Allen Hamilton, signed on as a member of the board. Today, he is Chairman Emeritus and served as the evening?s gala chair. ?I was the first chair of the board for Evidence in 1999 and the life- changing experience that one gets through seeing this art form is so wonderful that I want to support it in any way I can. When I started, the Company had a $95,000 annual budget and now it has a $2 million annual budget – and a balanced budget – so it has come a very long way,? says Van Lee.?
Valentino D. Carlotti, a senior partner of Goldman, Sachs & Company, has also shown tremendous support for Evidence, which earned him the 2013 Corporate Philanthropy Award. ?When it comes to the mission of strengthening communities, Evidence stands at the center of creativity. The Company fosters tolerance and seeks culture and an ethic that we can cultivate. We are honored to support Evidence in achieving its mission,? said Carlotti upon receiving the award.??
Distinguished guests and gala attendees which included R&B singer Freddie Jackson, Susan L. Taylor & Khepbra Burns, actress Tamara Tunie and husband Gregory Generet and investment bankers Chris Williams and Janice Savin Williams among others were treated to an elegant cocktail reception, the presentation of awards, dinner, a special performance of the Company's new work Torch, and ?Evidence After Dark?, a Young Patron reception which began at 8:30 p.m.??

Q: Rust: Cannot create a structure storing values and references to these values I created a structure that stores values and references to them, and also created a method for adding values and specified lifetimes. Code example:
struct Storage<'a> {
    owner :Vec<i32>,
    links :Vec<&'a i32>
}

impl<'a> Storage<'a> {
    fn new() -> Storage<'a> {
        Storage {owner: vec![], links: vec![]}
    }

    fn add_int(&mut self, x :i32) {
        self.owner.push(x);
        let len = self.owner.len();
        let ref_x = match self.owner.get(len-1) {
            Some(x) => x,
            None => panic!("ERROR")
        };
        self.links.push(ref_x);
        let ref_x = 0;
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut store = Storage::new();
    store.add_int(1);
    store.add_int(2);
}

Then I got a compiler error:
error[E0495]: cannot infer an appropriate lifetime for lifetime parameter in function call due to conflicting requirements
let ref_x = match self.owner.get(len-1) {
                             ^^^

I can correct this mistake and set for self lifetime 'a, as for the structure. But in this case self will not be deleted even after the completion of the method. And then when I try to call the method twice, I get the following error:
error[E0499]: cannot borrow `store` as mutable more than once at a time

But how can this contradiction be resolved?
And maybe there is a more correct way in Rust of storing data in the structure with allowing access to it not only through the owner?

CBP: Woman tried to smuggle heroin taped onto buttocks at Arizona-Mexico border
NOGALES, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Officials with the United States Customs and Border Protection said three Arizonans -- all women -- have been arrested at the Port of Nogales Tuesday, and accused of smuggling drugs.
According to a statement released Thursday, all of the arrests happened at the Dennis DeConcini crossing, and the first woman arrested is a 38-year-old from Peoria. She was reportedly going back to Mexico, and nearly 22 pounds of meth were found in the rear quarter panels of the SUV she was driving.
The drugs found in that vehicle are worth about $65,000, according to CBP officials.
During the afternoon hours, officials found a 47-year-old from Nogales had close to three pounds of heroin hidden inside the back of her pants. The woman, according to officials, was entering the U.S. via the pedestrian lanes, and the drugs found on her person is worth over $45,000.
Later on, officials said a 26-year-old from Rio Rico was referred for an additional inspection of her sedan, as she was returning from Mexico. Officers reportedly found over 10 pounds of heroin, after a narcotics-detection canine was alerted to the back of the car. The drugs are reportedly worth over $178,000.
Officials said the three women were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's homeland security investigations team.
Arrest made but questions remain in killing of Dearborn Heights man inside home

Sirarpi Heghinian-Walzer | Future of the Past, Lesley University 2020
Sirarpi Heghinian-Walzer, LADYBIRD, 2019, Mixed media, pulp, beeswax
My art reflects on the ephemeral and flux of existence. They evolve, decay and morph.Thriving and decaying, colorful and dark, alluring and foreboding, my work incarnates the paradoxes of nature. My choice of materials and tactile marks speak to the dualities of life.
My work springs both from meditations on nature and from memories that are distilled into single dramatic moments. The energetic surfaces imply an ongoing tension between freedom and containment, edging the viewer closer to that place where chaos can erupt into clarity.
Using oils and acrylics, inks and pastels, I draw, scrawl, scrape and paint on canvas and wood surfaces that are rich in layers of handmade and recycled papers, fabric, wood and other found materials. The layers of my collages ooze with life as I fix a moment of time.
Sirarpi's artwork is in many collections nationally and internationally. She has received awards and exhibited her work in galleries throughout Europe and the United States. She lives and works in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Sirarpi is represented by Cove Gallery in Wellfleet, MA, she is an artist member of Gallery263 in Cambridge, MA and Gallery Z in Providence, she serves on the boards of Cambridge Art Association and Non-Profit Net in Massachusetts. She is the principal of Consult and Design, a small-business IT consulting firm. She is the co-founder and director of Art Without Borders, an online community that champions the rights of artists.
In Europe, Sirarpi worked with artists Andrej Woron, Milan Knížák, and Peter Erskine, and in the USA, with Timothy Harney, Jon Imber and Ati Gropius. As an engineer at Biotroniks in Berlin, Germany, her team designed pacemakers. At Honeywell in Lexington, MA, she worked on infrared imaging systems.
Sirarpi studied biomedical systems engineering at Boston University and painting and stage design at the Academy for Fine Arts "Die Etage" and Hochschule der Kunste in Berlin, Germany.
