I spotted an abnormal increased activity in REDTONE trading pattern today where the volume transacted is raised more than normal daily the average volume and price made a a gain of 3 cts.
The trading pattern of trade today suggest investors/ punters enthusiasm to take the price higher as it closed at the day's high just a little short of its 52-week high of 0.335.
Monitor for breakout of immediate resistance at 0.335 which is the 52-week high. Once broken conclusively...we could see a much higher level being reached; i foresee a level of 0.350 to 0.370. The average traded price today is 0.3110 which is quite high towards the day's closed of 0.320. The closing quote is 0.320/ 0.325 with 510200/ 200700 shares on cue.
Hopefully the enthusiasm today should carry the price higher tomorrow.
My views is just my observation of the trading pattern today...not knowing any internal developments or corporate moves in store for the company and furthermore i read an interesting blog write up which i will share here.

Teachers significantly impact their students and school communities. At Hendrix, we focus on education's role in promoting equity by preparing students, through our social justice minor, for alternative teacher preparation opportunities, including residency programs, pursuing a master's degree, alternative licensure, and accelerated programs.
Students interested in teaching careers should complete the social justice minor, including the recommended core courses for education. Additionally, one of the six course credits for the minor must be an approved for-credit internship. This field-based internship placement matches students' vocational interests in social justice and must include work that enhances their understanding of equity issues experienced by marginalized populations.
For additional information about the social justice minor and alternative teacher preparation options, contact Dr. Dionne Jackson in the Sociology/Anthropology Department. To learn more about local, regional, and national residency and alternative licensure programs, contact Mrs. Rynnett Clark in the Office of Career Services.

Scotland pledges £65m military aid to war effort in Ukraine
The contribution will make up part of the £1bn in funding the UK government is providing to the Ukrainian military.
The money will be used for state of the art equipment including air defence systems and vital kit for soldiers. iStock

The Scottish Government has pledged £65m as part of the UK's military aid for Ukraine.
The contribution will make up part of the £1bn in funding the UK government is providing to the Ukrainian military for state of the art equipment including air defence systems and vital kit for soldiers.
It follows the £4m in financial aid which has been sent to Ukraine by the Scottish Government for humanitarian assistance and a further £3m for medical supplies.
Speaking about the funding the finance secretary Kate Forbes said the Scottish Government condemns Russia's unprovoked, illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Forbes added: "Scotland stands for democracy, human rights and the rule of law at home and abroad.
"We have become a place of refuge and sanctuary for displaced people from Ukraine, and have done all we can to get help to those fleeing the country to escape the violence.
"This further funding is to assist Ukrainian armed forces to fight Russian aggression and the unspeakable brutality being perpetrated.
"We have agreed to provide funding on this occasion given the clear need to maximise the international effort to support Ukraine.
"However, we are clear that this must not be seen as any kind of precedent which leads to devolved budgets being used to help pay for clearly reserved policy areas."

Today is one of those days where my mind is a blank slate and, as hard as I try, I can't seem to get the gears turning.
Instead of sitting here feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to write through the block. After all, it's only writer's block if you let yourself remain blocked.
Come to think of it, a lot of problems are similar in that they are self-perpetuating. When we wallow in self-pity, we are only making the problem worse, adding to the preexisting clog.
Whenever I run into moments of creative constipation, I turn to what I know: writing.
For you, this might be talking with someone else or recording a video.
Regardless of the format, the main goal here is to share and explore your thoughts.
If you ask me, there's no better laxative than sharing your ideas with others.
I'm a big fan of this Ernest Hemingway quote.
It's weirdly reassuring to know that no matter how famous or successful someone is, they put out crap in the beginning, just like us.
We all have hard drives filled with early work that will never see the light of day, and you know what? That's completely OK.
In fact, it's a right of passage that all "creatives" go through.
What I wonder is what would happen if you decided to share that crap?
For all of the perfectionists out there, this might seem crazy. After all, why the hell would you want to share something before it's "ready?"
Because the sooner you start sharing your work, the sooner you will meet others who actually give a damn. They will become your biggest advocates while also helping you improve.
Remember, you will always be your own harshest critic.


Like many, Associate Professor Natasha Warikoo, who studies issues of race, college admissions, and elite universities, is keeping a close watch on the lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating against Asian-American applicants. The case not only taps into the deeply debated admissions process but also puts affirmative action on trial in America, she says.Warikoo, author of The Diversity Bargain: And Other Dilemmas of Race, Admissions, and Meritocracy at Elite Universities, is looking out for how effective the plaintiff makes his case about existing discrimination — specifically toward Asian Americans as opposed to other underrepresented groups.
So far, the case has revealed more about the highly selective admissions process at Harvard than ever before."Harvard have been very private about how it selects students and this has been an opening of that black box," she says.What this might mean about college admissions in general is yet to be determined. How Harvard selects its students is important, says Warikoo, since other institutions, especially elite institutions, often follow its lead.
But a lingering question remains as to whether the admissions process is fair."I question, what does it mean to be a fair system in an unequal society," she says, pointing out that a great number of students apply to Harvard with only a small number of slots available. "There's no agreement in our society on the one best way."In this edition of the Harvard EdCast, Warikoo provides some perspective on the case and the plaintiff's possible motives, and whether the college admissions process can truly ever be fair.About the Harvard EdCas.

Posse students welcomed during Spring Reception
Thursday, April 19, 2012, By Daeya Malboeuf
From April 16-18, Syracuse University hosted 33 admitted students from Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles for the first ever Posse Spring Reception. Accompanied by directors from each city's program, the inaugural cadres traveled to SU for an introduction to the campus, their admitting schools or colleges and each other.
The Posse Scholars will attend SU through the Posse Foundation's prestigious leadership scholarship program. The University selected the students from a highly competitive pool of applicants based on their academic achievements and demonstrated leadership qualities and initiatives. In addition to attending general Spring Reception events, the scholars dined with their faculty mentors, Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina and college deans; observed a class; met with academic support services; and received a backstage tour of the Carrier Dome. In addition, current SU students pitched in to help Posse students understand the vast opportunities offered by SU, including research, internships, co-curricular activities and study abroad.
"Our participation in the Posse partnership underscores the University's commitment to access for accomplished students," says SU Vice President for Enrollment Management Donald Saleh. "These tremendously gifted and socially committed students will enrich the learning environment for all students, and we fully expect them to rise as campus and community leaders."
"Posse is extremely proud to be partnering with Syracuse University," says Posse president and founder Deborah Bial. "In signing on to recruit scholars from three Posse chapters, Chancellor Nancy Cantor and her team are demonstrating extraordinary commitment to college access and the success of outstanding young people across the country. We look forward to a thriving partnership that will create life-changing educational experiences for scholars."
The Posse Foundation is one of the most comprehensive and renowned college access and youth leadership development programs in the nation. As the United States becomes an increasingly multicultural society, the foundation and its university partners work to ensure that the leaders reflect the country's rich demographic mix. The partnership is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students—a posse—carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for increased individual and community development. Posse scholars head campus organizations, encourage dialogue and programs that foster an inclusive campus environment, and are academically successful.

This Farming Video Game Is So Popular, People Pay To Watch Gamers Play It
St. Louis Public Radio | By Jonathan Ahl
Farming Simulator is a realistic farming experience — minus bugs, droughts and disasters.
Updated June 22, 2021 at 3:30 PM ET
One of the joys of video games is the way they let the player experience a new world and do things they would never do in real life — and it turns out that includes the thrill of plowing a soybean field, the excitement of bailing hay and the exhilaration of harvesting wheat.
Harley Hand is getting ready for a day on the farm. "First let me jump in a combine," he says. "We have a soybean harvest, guys. We have a big harvest, a bunch of fields that are ready to go." He makes an adjustment to his equipment, and is on his way: "All right, let's roll."
That sound isn't a real combine, of course, because Hand isn't on a real farm. He is in front of his computer, in his house in rural Hazelhurst, Georgia, playing the game Farming Simulator and streaming the session online. He has more than 40,000 people following him on Facebook. Playing the game is his full time job, with some subscribers paying 5 dollars a month and others giving him tips while he plays. Hand says a lot of his interactions with his audience are about learning the ins and outs of farming. "It's a huge learning experience for a lot of people who come into my streams," he says. "I have got a lot of people who know nothing about farming and they come into the stream, and they're like, 'oh, really? That's how that works.' And it's pretty cool."
Farming Simulator covers a lot of ground, including buying equipment, choosing crops, plowing, planting, fertilizing and harvesting, not to mention options to raise livestock. A.K. Rahming is a gamer and writer who has reviewed Farming Simulator for the website PC Invasion. He says the game is a lot like real farming: "The monotony, the tediousness, the length of time it takes to plow a field in farming sim, it does give you an appreciation for what real farmers have to do, from my experience," he says,

Plow, plant and harvest your digital farm in Farming Simulator.
Monotony? Tediousness? Not the kind of words you usually associate with something that people would do for fun. But the game's realism is a big reason why it's so popular. Some of the game's most avid fans are farmers. Wisconsin farmer Ryan Kuster says he can see why some people love the game. "Basically, it's your own little world where you can plan anything and everything that you want. I think this would be really useful for designing farm layouts, even." Kuster says it's real, but not too real. There's no droughts or floods or insect infestations.
The conditions aren't always perfect. But within the game, the conditions are always perfect. So it's almost like this fantasy, I get to do things in the digital realm that I didn't get to do in real life.
Shelbey Walker is an agricultural communications researcher at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She's studied farmers and video games and has found some farmers use the game as a quintessential busman's holiday: They drive a real tractor all day and unwind by driving a virtual one at night. "The conditions aren't always perfect," she says. "But within the game, the conditions are always perfect. So it's almost like this fantasy, I get to do things in the digital realm that I didn't get to do in real life."
Walker says the game also attracts people like her who may not be farmers, but feel connected to agriculture because they grew up in rural areas or were in 4-H.
And In addition to streamers like Harley Hand, there is another outlet for rabid Farming Simulator fans: an eSports league. It's 2021 Farming Simulator season will end in November with a tournament in Hanover, Germany. The top prize is 100,000 Euros, more than many real farmers make in a year.

Cut Loose of the Misuse of the Mispronounced Name of Dr. Seuss
By Commonplace Fun Facts on September 1, 2020 • ( 1 Comment )
Theodor Geisel is known around the world by his pen name Dr. Seuss. The author and illustrator of more than 60 children's books such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and Horton Hears a Who!, Dr. Seuss's books have sold over 600 million copies in more than 20 languages. If you are familiar with his work, you probably think. you know how to pronounce his name. Odds are that you have been saying it wrong.
Most people assume "Seuss" rhymes with "juice." Geisel himself had a different notion. He pronounced it to rhyme with "voice."
In the archived author biography section of Seussville.com website, we are told, "If you want to pronounce the name the way his family did, say Zoice, not Soose. Seuss is a Bavarian name and was his mother's maiden name: Henrietta Seuss's parents emigrated from Bavaria (part of modern-day Germany) in the nineteenth century. Seuss was also his middle name."
Alexander Laing, one of his collaborators on the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern, wrote of it:
You're wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn't rejoice
If you're calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice (or Zoice)
Geisel's mother, Henrietta Seuss, sounds as if she would be an interesting character for one of his books. Despite standing six feet tall (1.8 meters) and weighing nearly 200 pounds, (91 kg), she was an accomplished high diver. She was the one who encouraged young Theodor to pursue writing and poetry.
Geisel continued to use the German pronunciation of his pen name until grudgingly yielding to the fact that Americans naturally recognized the name as rhyming with "goose." In light of that, he eventually embraced the pronunciation, equating his calling with that of the legendary writer of children's stories, Mother Goose. He also added the "Doctor" because his father wanted him to be a physician.
In addition to the Dr. Seuss pen name, Geisel also wrote under the name Theo LeSieg, "LeSieg" is "Geisel" spelled backward. He also published Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo!! under the name Rosetta Stone. The pen name in that case was in honor of his second wife, Audrey Stone Geisel.
What is, perhaps, even more extraordinary than the fact that the beloved author's name is remembered differently than he intended is the fact that he was secretly scared of children. That fact is covered in greater detail here.

UNDP partner security agencies to check small arms proliferation
By Lizzy Okoji
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has led moves to combating the proliferation and trafficking of small arms and light weapons in cross border communities across Nigeria.
Mr Fredrick Ampiah, UNDP's Regional Coordinator for Small Arms and Light Weapons, made this known on Thursday in Abuja during a stakeholders' inception meeting on UNDP's proposed assistance in combating arms proliferation in Nigeria.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the stakeholders' meeting was organised by the UNDP, in collaboration with the Presidential Committee on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PRESCOM).
According to Ampiah, the meeting is focused on offering solutions and bringing up ideas on how to stop the proliferation of small and light weapons in Nigeria, and across the sub region.
He said that the stakeholders' engagement was organised to have an in-depth discussion on the project the UNDP was planning in Nigeria to support the proliferation of small arms in targeted cross border communities.
He said the workshop also aimed at building capacities of security agencies and CSOs in cross border communities with a specific focus on women to foster cross border and security networks across the borders.
"We believe that addressing the proliferation of small arms requires a multi-dimensional approach that goes beyond every single country; and we know that we have a lot of borders that are porous.
"We have some borders that are manned as well, so the idea is to build the capacity and strengthen the operational abilities of the cross border institutions that man the borders.
"We will also do a sensitisation and awareness creation to build the trust and cohesion among cross border communities.
"What we intend to get out of this is to ensure well informed communities that live across the borders are able to help in the reduction of trafficking of small arms and light weapons.
"Strengthen institutional and operational capacity of our security agencies at the border communities and then ultimately, have a kind of a network or platform which you can exchange information and ideas.
"To feed into the whole government's efforts at reducing insecurity which are mainly perpetuated with the proliferation of small arms," Ampiah said.
The UNDP Representative said that with Nigeria having borders with several countries, there would be specific focus on the Nigeria-Cameroon, Nigeria –Benin, Nigeria-Chad and Nigeria –Niger borders.
Ampiah said there was need for legal and regulatory frameworks to be in place to effectively deal with small arms proliferation and trafficking.
He explained that without legal and regulatory frameworks in place to prosecute perpetuators, the whole policies would end up in a vicious circle without any effect.
Also speaking, Chairman of PRESCOM, Amb. Emmanuel Imohe, noted that one of the major challenges of security agencies was the ability to understand the dynamics of criminals who always tried to stay ahead of security operatives.
Imohe, who was represented by Dickson Orji, PRESCOM's Programme Coordinator, said that the workshop would enable the UNDP, PRESCOM and other stakeholders to come up with suitable implementation policies.
He said that proliferation of small arms was not just a Nigerian problem but a big global issue because as the world sought to solve the problems, the more new dynamics were emerging.
"This workshop is for bringing together security agencies to find out the roots and causes of infiltration of small arms in Nigeria and how it can be combated.
"This workshop is basically looking at ways of training and increasing the capacity of the security agencies in combating these crimes of infiltration of small arms and other dangerous weapons.
"We are bothered because we know that the primary choice or weapons of those perpetuating this crime is small and light weapons.
"Without these weapons in their possession, you and I can tackle them when confronted on the road," imohe said.
Imohe said that Since 2013, PRESCOM had trained more than 500 security personnel drawn from different agencies on maritime and border management both in and outside Nigeria.

This week, I went up. Monday's adventure was a visit to the Top of the Rock with my niece and nephew. It's something to see. From the 70th floor, Manhattan shrinks. You can see that it is an encrusted island, stretching north around the big green of Central Park, and banded south by nickel-silver water. Spiky bridges spoke into the outer boroughs, buildings rise and fall like bar graphs and rooftops are warty with water towers and fan vents. Yellow cabs crawl beetle-like below, and people become ambulating specks. We had a particularly good time counting the helicopters, hovering like dragonflies above and below our line of vision.
Certain angles widen the view, but seeing more is not seeing all. I was thinking about this after hanging out with my niece and nephew. They are three and five. A lot of loving care and anxiety goes into ordering their lives. It is easy to look at them and get dumbly nostalgic, thinking how wonderful childhood is. It has become a discrete, past entity for me - therefore, safe. I made it through. The living reality of how frustrating and intense it is, wound up tight with the anxiety of forward motion isn't mine anymore. I can only look from a remove. I see it - at least, I see what I can see, and I see what I can remember.
All this just to remind myself there's no seeing everything, no matter how high I go or how hard I look.
Time to go out for a sandwich.

Last week, the RIWG released its recommendations to the Board of Governors. The report, published a mere four days before the Board is scheduled to vote on the recommendations, rejects students' and faculty's request that the University divest its pension and endowment funds from fossil fuels.
FFUW thus urges the Board of Governors to respect students' and faculty's will, to uphold the University's commitments to environmental and social justice, sustainability and innovation, and to vote against these recommendations. Read FFUW's Memorandum to the Board of Governors.

Today in Tabs: Facebook Presents Your Year in Tragedy
If there's no pizza, don't even invite me to your wedding.

Silk Road–the darknet site that blended techno-libertarianism, unexpected pathos, drugs, and that sweet elixir of larceny Bitcoin into what has already been one of recent history's most entertaining legal proceedings–is not done with us yet! Like all Silk Road related news, the charges against DEA agent Carl Force and former Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges are incredibly implausible and circuitous, but Sarah Jeong does as good a job explaining them as anyone could hope for. Keywords include, but are not limited to: murder for hire (simulated), intimidation (failed), theft (flagrant), and LinkedIn contact request (regrettable). Lauren Smiley has a step by step guide in Matter for Feds interested in catching the Bitcoin-laundering wave, and Kashmir Hill collected 5 of Force's wackiest side-projects for Fusion.

Facebook is in trouble again for algorithmically dredging up painful memories. Who could have predicted this?
In Pacific Standard, Susie Cagle makes a case that the VC funding system does more harm than good. If you're on the fence about that, please do see this Twitter thread where prominent venture capitalist Harry Potter, from the blue-chip Silicon Valley firm of Egg & Rapgenius, "argues with Twitter user "fart" about the definition of electricity."
April Fools' is stupid, but it's also the day Carnegie Mellon's Association for Computational Heresy holds SIGBOVIK, which is one of those nerd events where there are so many layers of in-joke that you can't exactly tell how much (if any) of it is real, or what "real" might mean in this context, but the Proceedings, at least, are very funny. Notably, Tom Murphy made a portmanteau of every English word, which he calls a "portmantout." Just watch the video, it's good.
I enjoyed this Colson Whitehead tab about our narcissistic culture because I love reading about myself. You do you, Cols! Alana Massey is right: "Chill" is stupid. The police must be huge Chris Rock fans! Across the land, the question rings out: Can a gay wedding even have pizza? If you don't already know what that post is about, trust me, you'll be happier staying that way. And finally: read this boring tab.
It's intern Avery's birthday! Today she turns 27! At 27 I was a married home owner and one year away from the birth of my first child, but being a newsletter intern is great too! Happy Birthday Avery!
TODAY'S INTERN TAB, by AVERY EDISON
Today is my twenty-seventh birthday (please, hold your applause). Two decades ago, on this date, I woke up and found a child's snooker table set up for me in our dining room. Not something I'd asked for, but still one of the best gifts I've ever received.
The popularity of snooker is a weird part of British culture. It hardly seems a thrilling spectator sport, but for weeks at a time in the winter you can switch to BBC2 and watch hours of snooker in the evening–time slot after time slot of the same old static shot. We even had a bizarre snooker-based game show, Big Break, which ran for ten years.
My snooker table got a lot of use at first, but then I returned to the books one could always find me in as a child. I was not destined to be a Ronnie O'Sullivan, who is profiled in the New Yorker this week. It's a terrific feature–a classic story of a shining talent dogged by vice and familial sin.
I remember looking at my snooker table in the garden with the trash, warped and broken-down by rain. Happy birthday.
Well. The only thing that could make this birthday more cheerful would be a Facebook year-in-review post.

There are a variety of types of bonds. When most people think of bonds, they think of legal trouble and getting arrested, whether it be yourself, a friend, or a loved one. There are several different types of bonds, but all bonds have one thing in common: they are essentially a form of collateral to ensure that both parties hold up their side of a contract, or their end of the deal. Surety bonds are a different kind of bond that is common within the construction industry.
A surety bondsman in Lakeland commonly serves clients in the construction industry. What is a surety bond, you may be wondering? A surety bond is an agreement between three parties. The first party is the principal. This person is usually a business owner who is guaranteeing a quality of work that will be done in the future. The second party is the obligee. This party is requiring the principal to purchase a bond so that they do not incur financial loss. This is a protective measure for themselves. The surety issues the bond and guarantees the obligee that the principal has the financial ability to make good on the bond. A surety bondsman acts as the middleman.
Who Requires the Services of a Surety Bondsman?
The construction industry is most commonly known for requiring a surety bond. Most of the time, it is obtained by the owner to show good faith to their client. Government agencies require surety bonds before construction work begins. In reality, this protects both parties. It's a contract, where both sides have something to lose.
A bond service company can issue a surety bond. Bondsman are on call 24/7 to meet your bond needs at any time of day or night.

This AirMeow guards the skies over Fort Francis. It runs on a volatile mixture of catnip and cooking oil.
The AirMeow is an enemy encountered in Chapter 3-4 of Super Paper Mario. It resembles a robotic cat with wings. It can only be found on the ramparts of Fort Francis, on the way to the first of Francis' private rooms. AirMeows swoop down to attack when they sense an intruder. They are one of the very few basic enemies that are displayed in three dimensions, making them harder to avoid.


Our belt and braces EX Honda HR-V variant has 12 extra features for its £26,000 P11D ticket compared with the SE Navi, one notch down the range and £3005 cheaper.
The panoramic sunroof and rear-view camera rate as respective convenience and safety assets, even if heated leather seats plus rear privacy glass don't register on my personal must-have or -need list. Meanwhile, paying extra for the driver's seat back pocket seems odd.
Extra kit means extra weight and, for those who care, 0.3 of a second longer reaching 62mph. Thinning down the hefty, exhaustive, if not enthralling, 624-page handbook (pictured) might help compensate.


Skype does not have the ability to record any conversations between its subscribers. For you to save the calls, you need to have Evaer – one of best Skype recording software for Windows which is an essential app that helps to record your Skype call and keep them for reference. Evaer Skype Recorder is one of Skype software with exciting features. Evaer is the best app to make your Skype calls worth when talking to your friends. It is not the time when Skype was used to connect with different people across the world. In today's world, you need to make international calls, and if you feel they are important, you can save them for a replay.
Well, Evaer Skype Recorder comes with impressive features to color your world. The app is easy to use for all your conferences, podcast, interviews and family VoIP calls. With the app, you can record quality audio and video calls. The most pleasing thing is Evaer recorder captures the original Skype audio and video data without changing the quality. With this app it is possible to store you recorded files in HD format, but that is only possible if your device cameras can record high-quality videos. You need to try this software and experience the difference. Evaer Skype Recorder is compatible with all Windows devices, and it runs smoothly without delaying. It is a nice application to consider since it offers free download and a free upgrade to give the best service to all users.
After you are through with installation, Skype will show a notification that will demand you to restart your Skype to finish the connection.
You can now place a Skype call and decide how you want it recorded. You will have the two buttons, both PAUSE RECORDING and STOP RECORDING in case you choose to halt at any given time.
When recording video calls, you can choose to select from the options either, Side-by-Side, Remote-webcam-only, Separate files, Picture-In-Picture or Local-webcam-only mode.
To playback your recordings, right click on the file and click "PLAY" menu.
When you have customized this software this way, all your conversations will be recorded automatically without the need of the PAUSE and PLAY buttons. If at any time you wish to stop, you can do it manually at the record main window despite the tool being set on automatic function.
Preview Video while recording Skype calls: It is a nice feature from this application and new to Skype users. When using Evaer for Skype you can preview your video recordings. It is interesting since you can correct any mistakes and ensure high-quality recordings throughout.
Save Skype message and Skype Voicemail: When using this application as a default to your Skype, it will be able to save Skype messages as well as Skype voicemail. This will help you when retrieving your recordings.
Automatic chat reply: Evaer Recorder has the capability to reply chat automatically without requesting for permission. The feature is ideal to most commercial users when they are busy with schedules and clients need feedback. This will help them get a quick and convenient reply immediately.
Option to record Skype Video calls into MP4 and even AVI files: In this situation, your device camera is the main factor. If your computer has a perfect camera, you will be able to record high-quality video calls and convert them into MP4 format for later reference.
Evaer can record face-to-face video files: Depending on your device storage, this tool can record your calls in different modes. It includes Local Webcam Only or remote webcam only side by side recording. You can further choose video output format codes and even sample rate for audio.
There is no option to choose between several recording qualities: When recording Skype calls with Evaer Skype Recorder, you will not be able to change the quality of your content. You might be in need of high-quality recordings and end up with low quality. The condition is disappointing and may mess you up when recording for commercial use. I think Skype should come with a feature that has a way to choose as far as recording quality is concerned.
With Evaer, there is no notification: When recording, the application does not notify whether you are recording or not. Most of the users will end up without recording because am sure not everyone will remember to turn recording back on after a slight disconnection and as it always happens with Skype.
With Evaer for Skype, you can only download five times: This version is valid for 5 times installation, after that the application will not function on your device.
Additionally, the software can only record a maximum of 5 minutes conversation.
Evaer Skype Recorder is a nice application with good features for high-quality audio and video Skype calls. The app brings new experience to users offering modern features like Automatic chat reply, which is not common in many Skype softwares except few excellent apps like TalkHelper Software. TalkHelper performs better than this application, but they all serve the same purpose. In overall, Evaer Skype Recorder is comfortable software to install on your computer.


In Papua New Guinea, Prime Minister Peter O'Neill says there will be a complete ban on round log exports by year 2020 so that we keep the jobs in our country.
In a statement to parliament last week, he said: "We will not be issuing timber permits for round log exports by 2020.
"There will be a complete ban on round log exports by year 2020, so that we keep the jobs in our country.
"We want to get the timber companies to go into downstream processing in our country and the fixed product can be exported overseas.
O'Neill said in terms of fisheries, government had introduced a rebate system.
"That is because fishing companies, especially in the tuna industry, have taken all the catches overseas," he said. "They are not coming onshore to get fuel, or supply or offload the fish on our shores .
"As a result, many of our fish end up in Thailand or the Philippines.
"What we have done is we have done a rebate system.
"But we are now telling every fishing company and every fishing boat that you will pay the full price.
"When you come onshore and unload the fish in PNG waters and factories, we will give you a rebate.
"Despite some initial doubts about that programme, the fishing companies have now realised that this is beneficial to them as well.
RD Tuna cannery in Madang was running on full capacity but the rest of the tuna factories were not.
"As a result, we can export to the European market on favourable terms that we have with the European Union.
"Initiatives like that are starting to produce positive results. We are making headways in terms of our negotiations with the resource companies.
"They are starting to come on board where we have had agreements where we gave them concessions about parking export revenues in overseas accounts.

Polar Bears Really Are Starving Because of Global Warming, Study Shows
by faster | Feb 1, 2018 | Blog
SOURCE: National Geographic DATE: February 1, 2018 SNIP: Because of melting sea ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve, warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized. Turns out they are high-energy beasts, burning through 12,325 calories a day—despite sitting around most of the time, according to a unique metabolic analysis of wild bears published Thursday in Science. "Our study reveals polar bears' utter dependence on seals," said lead author Anthony Pagano, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). If these results hold up, then it shows that the loss of sea ice may have a bigger impact on the bears than previously thought, said Amstrup, a former USGS polar bear expert. Amstrup's own 2010 study projected that continued decline in sea ice would reduce the global population of bears by two thirds, to less than 10,000 by 2050. Climate change is heating up the Arctic faster than anywhere else, and sea ice is shrinking 14 percent per decade. Even today, in the middle of the bitter cold Arctic winter, satellites show there is about 770,000 square miles less sea ice than the 1981 to 2010 median (That's an area larger than Alaska and California combined). In the late spring, the ice is breaking up sooner and forming later in the fall, forcing bears to burn huge amounts of energy walking or swimming long distances to get to any remaining ice. Or they stay on land longer, spending the summer and, increasingly, the fall fasting, living off their fat from the seals...
Polar bears crowd on Russian island in sign of Arctic change
by faster | Nov 23, 2017 | Blog
SOURCE: Channel News Asia DATE: November 23, 2017 SNIP: A boatload of tourists in the far eastern Russian Arctic thought they were seeing clumps of ice on the shore, before the jaw-dropping realisation that about 200 polar bears were roaming on the mountain slope. The bears had come to feast on the carcass of a bowhead whale that washed ashore, later resting around the food source. The crowd included many families, including two mothers trailed by a rare four cubs each, Gruzdev told AFP. Climate change means ice, where polar bears are most at home, is melting earlier in the year and so polar bears have to spend longer on land, scientists say. Studies have shown that, compared with 20 years ago, polar bears now spend on average a month longer on Wrangel Island because "ice is melting earlier and the ice-free period is longer", said Eric Regehr, from the University of Washington, the lead American scientist on the US-Russian collaborative study of Wrangel Island polar bears. Changing ice conditions could also be responsible for the increasing number of bears flocking there, Regehr said. This autumn, the number of bears observed was 589, far exceeding previous estimates of 200-300, he said, calling it "anomalously...


Amazon has dropped the price of the Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB-A cables, bringing the price down to just $9.99 from $19.99. These are the braided cables, that are also about six feet long, so definitely worth picking up.
These cables from Anker are part of its PowerLine+ lineup, which is going to give you a double-braided nylon cable here, which is a great look. The reason for that is that braided cables are more rugged and tough then regular cables. So if you have pets and/or kids, it's definitely worth getting, as they will last much longer. Now Anker offers these in red and black, which both look really good, but the red really stand out. These are USB-C cables, so they will work with your new Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 8, LG V30, and really any other newer Android smartphone. So that's a good thing there. These are compatible with fast charging, so whether you have adaptive fast charge from Samsung or Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0, these are going to work perfectly fine. If you are in need of some new USB-C cables, then these are definitely worth picking up. Remember that these are about six-feet long, so they are plenty long for most people, especially for use in offices and in bedrooms to charge your phones at night.

Asian Church Leadership Conference held in Manila, Philippines
(LWI) - Lutheran churches in Asia are determining their role and strengthening their Lutheran identity, in religiously and culturally diverse societies going through rapid economic growth, social and technological changes. This was discussed when The Lutheran World Federation's (LWF) member churches in Asia met for the 2017 Asian Church Leadership Conference (ACLC).
"We need to sit together, listen to one another, express our challenges and our strengths, what we can do together through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Ms. Desri Maria Sumbayak, LWF vice-president for Asia told the conference.
Some 50 church leaders representing LWF member churches in Asia gathered for the ACLC in Manila, the Philippines, 23-27 November under the theme "Asia Communion at the Crossroads: Discerning Our Journey Together".
We need to sit together, listen to one another, express our challenges and our strengths, what we can do together through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
— Ms. Desri Maria Sumbayak LWF vice-president for Asia
The conference grappled with issues such as Lutheran identity, religious fundamentalism and ministerial formation and the church in the public space. The church leaders recognized that holistic mission, which includes proclamation, diakonia and advocacy, will remain a priority in the Asia region.
Proclamation of the Gospel: realities in Asia
"In Asia, we face different kinds of challenges when it comes to sharing our faith in a multicultural, multi-religious environment, but we have managed to live in harmony," said Rev. Dr Martongo Sitinjak of the Protestant Christian Batak Church (HKBP) in Indonesia.
Johanan Celine Valeriano, a youth delegate from the Lutheran Church in the Philippines and an LWF Council member, said that diversity is part of Asia's makeup. "I think our member churches in the global North can learn from us Asians on how to live in a pluralistic society and be truthful in our witness to the gospel."

Bishop Ben Chang of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong (ELCHK) called on the Asian church leaders to address the socioeconomic imbalance in the region as the root cause of poverty and religious fundamentalism.
Asian Lutheran identity and ministerial formation
The church leaders from Asia identified that their common identity as Lutherans needs to be strengthened to collaborate and address global issues that affect member churches in the region.
Rev. Joseph Soren, president of the Nepal Evangelical Lutheran Church, urged the Asia church leaders to form a network between churches and their mission partners to make the Lutheran identity more visible.

Rev. Dr Philip Lok, LWF area secretary for Asia, reaffirmed the global communion's commitment to further strengthen the Lutheran identity of the member churches in Asia, through its work in the coming years.
"Our church envisions itself as a leading missionary church, our efforts are then to be focused on encouraging our young people to enter full-time ministry, to be equipped to serve," noted Rev. Antonio Reyes, president of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines, who co-hosted ACLC 2017.

During the closing worship of the meeting, Rev. Dr Batara Sihombing, general secretary of the Indonesian Christian Church (HKI), underscored the fact that the church in Asia is at a crossroads.
"We need to remind ourselves to bear the cross of Christ daily and our prayer should be 'your kingdom come, your will be done,'" he concluded.

Graduate students in the school counseling program develop the foundational knowledge and skills to provide effective clinical services to a variety of diverse populations. As a program accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), our students can look forward to coursework and field experiences that meet the highest training standards of the counseling profession.
A graduate degree in school counseling, together with the requisite post-master's certification, allows one to provide counseling services to students in K-12 settings. One of the benefits of a degree in school counseling from NKU is that graduates are equipped to contribute to student success by implementing transformative school counseling practices and by establishing comprehensive school counseling programs.
Our NKU counseling programs are accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs.
For more information on CACREP, please visit the organization's WEBSITE.
To view the outcome data from NKU's 2017-18 systematic program evaluation, please CLICK HERE.
In addition to training well-prepared counselors, the school counseling program aims to create a local community of students and professors who are committed to supporting each other in their professional development.
As one example, the counseling program has an active chapter of Chi Sigma Iota (Nu Kappa), the international counseling honor society. This organization connects students and faculty through both professional development and social networking opportunities throughout the year. For those students who are interested in pursuing doctoral-level work, the faculty also provides opportunity for students to participate in research and professional conference presentations.


Unlike other major Atlantic Canadian cities such as Halifax and Moncton, St. John's does not divert discarded food and most other organic waste away from its landfill. Rather, it plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through a methane-capture system.
Canadians waste about one-third of all edible food in the country, and St. John's is no exception to this national habit.
So, what exactly is being done in our community to combat food wastage?
Some groups such as Food First NL are addressing the problem at the level of the individual consumer through education. The city and the province's Multi-Materials Stewardship Board are encouraging people to compost.
However, unlike other major cities in Atlantic Canada, the St. John's area does not collect food waste for a large composting operation. City councillors say such an operation would be costly and impractical, but at least one expert suggests a city or province-wide collection strategy would provide the best results.
The Robin Hood Bay Facility currently composts yard waste, but not food waste.
One organization with the potential to address food wastage is the Environmental Advisory Committee – a collection of experts and representatives from the community that give advice on certain issues on request from City Council.
However, according to Coun. Ian Froude, the advisory committee hasn't given much consideration to reducing food wastage yet.
Unlike other major cities such as Halifax and Moncton, St. John's does not have what is known as three-stream waste diversion, which includes trash, recyclables and compost materials.
Halifax, for example, has had a three-stream waste diversion program in place for about 20 years. Residents are required to separate any organics from their waste and place it in designated green bins.
Froude says such a system just isn't a practical option here.
However, Matt Keliher, the manager of solid waste with the Halifax Regional Municipality, says that while small amounts of plastic do sometimes squeeze through the municipality's processing system, the region is still able to send the organic waste to its end market, a landscaping farm, which can then deal with the contaminants itself.
Ross Traverse shows off his latest batch of compost. He says a big reason why he composts at all is to reduce the amount of food waste he produces in his gardens.
Coun. Dave Lane, who is co-chair of the St. John's Food Policy Council, sides with Froude about the feasibility of a three-stream diversion program here in the city. He says the end market for compost is much smaller here than it is in other regions of Atlantic Canada.
"We probably will not see a mandated (curbside) composting program … anytime soon," Lane said. He said that, while backyard composters can refrain from using meat and fat and bones, it's virtually unavoidable with a curbside program, and these materials attract rodents and can create an unpleasant smell.
Agricultural specialist Ross Traverse, however, believes the problem of smell can be overstated.
Founder of the now-closed Traverse Gardens in Torbay, Traverse has been composting for roughly 45 years. He says that, in a cold climate such as Newfoundland, for six months of the year, household composting becomes inactive. Similar to when food is frozen, the microorganisms in the food slow down and cannot operate, so the food isn't able to break down and rot, which can cause smells to linger and attract rodents over time.
While this is an issue regarding household composting, says Traverse, retaining heat isn't as much of a problem on a large, municipal scale.
On top of that, Keliher from Halifax says that neither of the city's composting facilities have ever had significant rodent problems, and their odor complaints are few and far between, receiving only one or two every year.
However, even if a new location was found to store and manage all the compost, Lane says there would need to be changes to the transportation of the waste. Since the majority of the population is close to the landfill right now, not only would the garbage trucks have to travel to the Robin Hood Bay facility, they would also have to travel to the new facility for compost outside of the city.
According to Keliher, it does cost anywhere between $25 and $40 per tonne more to compost organic materials than it would be to put them into a landfill. But, the impact of filling their landfills is significantly lessened by separating these materials.
"We probably will not see a mandated (curbside) composting program ... anytime soon."
Lane also says says the city is close to utilizing the methane gas produced at Robin Hood Bay for energy.
Currently, the energy is simply collected and burned, but according to a representative from the landfill, up to two megawatts of electricity could be generated from this gas, which could then be fed into a power grid and be used to generate thousands of homes and businesses. However, if the organic materials that enable this gas were to be diverted, then that option may no longer be feasible.
"There are other ways of doing it," said Lane.
Sarah Ferber from Food First NL explains that combating food waste is still a relatively new thing for the organization. But, they have some big plans for the coming year.
Another organization that seeks community-based solutions to problems such as food wastage is Food First NL, a non-profit organization working toward greater food security in the province.
Sarah Ferber, Food First NL's education manager, said the organization is developing a new series of resources that will help people to reduce the amount of food waste that they create before it can hit the bins.
"We're hoping to release some things at the end of the summer, early fall, that would be more kitchen-based," she said, listing off ideas such as meal planning, grocery shopping tips, and proper storage of foods to avoid spoilage – helping people to get the most out of their food to reduce the waste they produce.
Residents of St. John's are eligible for discounts on composting bins offered by the city, provided they attend a Compost Talk at the MUN Botanical Garden.
Food First NL is taking many different approaches to food issues, such as developing outdoor gardens and composting programs with schools. However, its priority is with the individual consumer.
Lane also pointed out that the city does encourage and support residents to practice backyard composting.
As part of a partnership between the city, the MUN Botanical Garden and the Multi-Materials Stewardship Board, the garden holds weekly, free informational classes on how to compost properly, known as Compost Talk. The city supports these classes by offering discounts on composting bins to any residents who complete the workshop.
However, Traverse remains skeptical about the effectiveness of household composting versus a municipal or regional effort.
Kicker and Rogers TV will broadcast a live forum about food wastage 7 - 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13. Drop by to join in the conversation or watch us on Rogers TV.


Papua New Guinea champion club Lae City Dwellers are on a journey of their own to qualify for the next round for the first time and therefore took an approach to the match that proved lethal to the game plan put in place by Alex Napa and his squad.
Nigel Dabinyaba wasted no time in signalling his return to the OFC Champions League, breaking down the Tupapa defence after just ten minutes to open the scoring. Captain Raymond Gunemba followed that up just five minutes later with a goal of his own before Solomon Islander Tutizama Tanito netted in the 24th minute to give Lae a three goal lead.
Tupapa pulled one back toward the end of the half when he slotted past Ronald Warisan from the spot, but that only seemed to incite Lae to do more damage in the second half.
Dabinyaba nabbed a brace with his 64th minute strike, but Gunemba one-upped him by scoring a second-half hat-trick.
Tupapa's Maro Bonsu-Maro was rewarded for a lot of hard work when he scored a well-worked goal in the first minute of additional time, but the deficit was already too great for the Cook Islanders to overcome.
Lae City Dwellers coach Peter Gunemba could not have been prouder of the performance from his side.
"I'm very, very pleased for the boys' performance. For the weather, we're used to it so it's not a problem for us.
Tupapa coach Alex Napa knew it would be a step up from the Qualifier and felt his side did a lot of learning, and very fast.
"For starters, congratulations to Lae City, I think they're a quality side," Napa said.
"I think from this experience the boys will have taken on board that when there's a lapse in concentration at this level, you get punished. If you turn off in the middle of a play, you get punished.
Napa added that he felt his side were also able to show some great promise.
Group A will be back in action at Korman Stadium in Vanuatu on Tuesday when Lae City Dwellers take on Ba at 2pm before Tupapa Mararenga play Nalkutan at 5pm.
