My Health Journey
MHJ audio visuals
Outreach programme to expand RX Radio's reach/presence into other public health facilities in the Western Cape Province.
The strategy is for RX Radio to first establish a provincial-wide reach in health facilities, with the possibility of expanding nationally at a later stage. We will be piloting this approach at 5 health facilities in the Western Cape Province. We are starting with one health facility in 2019, Paarl Hospital, two health facilities in 2020 and two more in 2021.
RXH Management and the Provincial Department of Health has given the go-ahead, and the Provincial IT Department has given permission for RX Radio to stream its broadcast through the provincial cable. All the necessary equipment and technical requirements to stream the RX radio signal into the Paediatric ward at Paarl Hospital are in place.
One of the challenges for RX Radio outreach programme, is maintaining the local flavour and local child participation while catering for either a national or regional audience. To this effect RX Radio will be partnering with community radio stations servicing the area where the health facility is located, so they can support the production of local content by the Child Reporters (patients attending the hospital with chronic conditions) trained by RX Radio in each of the pilot Hospitals.
After the pilot is evaluated, and if the model is shown to work, RX Radio will strive to reach all 54 public hospitals in the Western Cape. RX Radio has entered into a partnership with KC FM, a community radio station servicing the Paarl community to help us implement the pilot at Paarl Hospital by providing support in the production of local content by the child reporters.

Climate change: 7 young climate activists from around the world
Greta Thunberg is often the first name that comes up when people talk about the youth environment movement, but there are young activists all over the world.
From India to Kenya to USA young people have been demanding greater action on things like climate change, plastic pollution and deforestation.
On 20 September kids all over the world will be taking part in the Global Climate Strike, and you can keep up with everything that's going on in our live page here.
Then on 21 September young leaders and activists from around the world including Greta Thunberg gather at the UN's Youth Climate Summit in New York.
Here are some of the people who are taking part in the movement to inspire change around the world.
Lesein Mutunkei (Kenya)
Lesein combined his love for the outdoors and football after hearing about deforestation, climate change and plastic pollution.
The 15 year old plants a tree for every goal he scores.
He encouraged his school and his football club to adopt an environmentally conscious attitude so that as they improve their football they also improve the environment.
Alexandria Villasenor (USA)
14-year-old Alexandria Villaseñor strikes outside the UN headquarters in New York every Friday.
The teenager, who is a Fridays For Future organiser, said: "I'm too young to vote. When I strike, I feel like I am taking back some agency in my future."
Aditya Mukarji (India)
Aditya, who is 15, started campaigning to get people to stop using plastic straws at the beginning of 2018.
At the age of 13 he went round cafes and restaurants persuading them to swop plastic straws for eco-friendly alternatives.
The teenager now promotes alternatives to plastic, campaigns against trees being cut down and supports the climate strikes.
Ella and Caitlin McEwan (UK)
Ella and Caitlin McEwan from Southampton are two sisters who made a petition asking fast food restaurants to stop putting plastic toys in kids' meals.
Ella and Caitlin gathered more than 400,000 signatures. Since then McDonalds said its customers would be able to choose between a toy and a fruit and Burger King said it will remove the plastic toys altogether.
Leah Namugerwa (Uganda)
Leah Namugerwa is a 14-year-old climate activist and student striker with Fridays for Future in Uganda.
She has been striking every Friday for greater action on climate change and plastic pollution since February 2019.
Her country, like many others in Africa, is at risk of desertification - that means fertile farming land turning dry and barren.
Experts say it's caused by droughts and raised temperatures - two factors linked to climate change.
"I wanted to make a positive change in my country and pressure my government into taking action," she told the BBC.
Lilly Platt (Netherlands)
Lilly Platt was born in Britain but lives in the Netherlands where at just 11 years old she has been striking every Friday for climate change.
Accompanied by her mum, she strikes on Fridays for an hour with permission from her school.
She is a child ambassador for the Plastic Pollution Coalition and HOW Global, a water charity.
And she has her own litter-picking campaign, Lilly's Plastic Pick Up. Started in 2015, when Platt was seven.
Holly Gillibrand (UK)
Holly Gillibrand leaves school for an hour every Friday to demand action on climate change.
Holly lives in Fort William which has a population of just 10,000 people. Around 40 people join her to protest every Friday,
"I want to get Scottish leaders to take climate change seriously and [know] that they're destroying my future," she told the BBC.

Fluids: a happening by Allan Kaprow
This past Saturday Jerri Allyn and I coordinated the recreation of Fluids: A Happening by Allan Kaprow. In conjunction with the exhibition Allan Kaprow – Art as Life at MOCA, LACMA organized this recreation at several sites throughout the LA area. The project was supported in part by an in-kind donation from the Union Ice Company (which rocks!) and by generous support from the Getty Foundation. The original happening occurred in 1967 as part of Kaprow's exhibition at the Pasadena Museum of Art. Our recreation at the Westchester Park was completed in just over 2 hours and lasted untill about 2:50 when the west facing wall fell. The whole structure collapsed shortly after 3:30, just as the LA Art Girls were placing ice from Fluids sites at the Getty, Rios Clementi Hale Studios/notNeutral and A Place Called Home. See more photos here.

Hey – if you have not yet seen Muxtape, a nice little website for making mixes, check it the hell out. It has a great looking interface, and I made a lovely mix for you to listen to on it.
Lovely lovely mix here.

Dear Taxpayer,
Your contribution this fiscal year was put toward the maintenance of an F-15 fighter jet, which on October 16 dropped a bomb on the town of Ramadi, in Iraq, killing, among others, Muhammed Salih Ali (age six) and Haifa Ahmed Fuad (age eight) and Saad Ahmed Fuad (age four). Little Haifa and Saad were sister and brother; you helped accomplish their deaths by a jet very similar to, if not exactly the same as, those that fly over the stadium just after the American Idol winner sings "and the home of the brave" at the Super Bowl.
Thank you and congratulations.
{yeah, I stole that whole from a Ben Metcalf story at harpers.org}

Tiago Iorc
Band Pop Singer/Songwriter
Share Tiago Iorc's EPK!
Album: Let yourself in
Tracks: No one there / Blame / Fine / Nothing but a song / Scared / Ticket to ride / There's more to life / It's not time / My girl / When all hope is gone /
Tiago Iorc would be just another musician in the list of Brazilian artists who sing in English if it were not for one detail: to do this naturally. Tiago has born in Brazil, but he lived in UK and US for some years.
Composer of 8 of 10 tracks from his debut album Let Yourself In, Tiago invites all to experience the delightful gathering of soul, jazz, rock and pop. A new versions of two classics of international music, "Ticket To Ride" (Beatles) and "My Girl" (The Temptations), gives the right dimension of his artistic maturity. For example: a playlist made up of artists such as Jamie Cullun, John Mayer, Colbie Caillat and James Blunt, Tiago Iorc fits perfectly.
"Let Yourself In", the result of careful production of Alexandre Castilho and Victor Pozas, offers the public a young artist who believes in the beauty and strength of melody. With songs that reflect his personality and personal experience, Tiago goes beyond the open space for interpretation. "In my lyrics I like to be subjective and give room for personal interpretation. The feeling that awakens in each song is personal, is unique, and why is so special."
The surprising when you think of a singer and composer of 23 years, who just released his first album is that Tiago Iorc included 4 songs in 4 TV Globo Soap Opera (Tv Globo is #1 TV Channel in Brazil and the Soap Operas are broadcasted from Monday to Saturday for more than 40 million people every night). "Nothing But a Song" tells the story of the main characters from teen soap Malhação and Tiago presented to young people, who recognized it as a representative of what they hear in their "ipods". The result is a song with 2 million viewers on YouTube, faithful fans throughout the country (over three thousand followers only in the Twitter phenomenon). In early 2009, "Nothing But A Song" became the opening theme of the movie "Se Eu Fosse Você 2", already seen by more than 6 million people.

Reading weather related articles stating that our summer this year will be a wash out as we are set to be battered with rain and gales is a tad disappointing to say the least. The need for some Vitamin D is great, especially coming from Manchester where we expect rain every day!
If I had my choice and an endless pot of money, I would be travelling forever as my bucket list in endless! I seem to add to it each time I check Instagram as there are a zillion gorgeous travel inspired images of far flung places I have yet to visit.
Cuba – Vibrant, colourful and full of life, I would absolutely love to visit Cuba and fully immerse myself in the culture. Cuba is all about the music, passion and flair and is definitely my type of place. A destination that is very much at the top of my list and I am insanely jealous of listening to experiences of Cuba holidays, but hopefully it will be my time soon!
Italy (Amalfi Coast) – I left a piece of my heart at the Amalfi Coast when I visited Italy as a teenager. If you have never visited then you are missing out on one of the most beautiful sections of coastline in the world. If you have visited, then you will understand why I would love to live there one day. Life is so relaxed on the Amalfi Coast and the scent of lemons and citrus fruit fills the air.
I had a chat with a friend about her destination bucket list and she stated that she would love to visit the Grand Canyon at some point. I've suggested that she has to do the trip via helicopter to fully enjoy the experience and even have a picnic upon landing in the Grand Canyon. It appears her husband has a recurring dream of crashing into the Canyon so I've suggested he either stay at home or catch the bus to the Canyon. Personally, after visiting myself I would highly recommend a helicopter visit as opposed to the coach as the Canyon is enormous and so pretty to view from the air.
After visiting Portugal this year, my love of the Algarve has been renewed and a trip back to Albufeira is on the cards at some point. Mini Me absolutely loved it and I currently have a friend over there so cannot wait to see her pictures when she returns.
Alas, none of my bucket list destinations are somewhere I am visiting this summer, but hopefully it's something to look forward to for next summer.
Do you have any off the beaten track destinations on your bucket list?
We go to Gale by Albufeira every year..just so lovely Cuba sounds AMAZING!

Q: Resolving Windows phone 8.1 Compilation Error: GetENumerator I am using the onNavigate method in windows phone 8.1 and trying to pass a list of navigation objects I have created. When I try and retrieve the list from e.parameters (which seems to work) I cannot iterate through the list and cast them back to the original object types. It works if I send a single object but not a list.
For Example.
From a button_click event on the mainpage I am calling the code below to navigate to page2 and pass a list of objects.
I have a class defined as below.
class NavigationContext
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }
}

For testing I create 3 objects and add it to a list as follows
  NavigationContext navobj = new NavigationContext(){ID = 77,Name = "DN",  Description = "TD1"};

  NavigationContext navobj2 = new NavigationContext(){ID = 22,Name = "JN",Description = "JD1"};

  NavigationContext navobj3 = new NavigationContext(){ID = 22,Name = "CN",Description = "CN1"};

I then create the list as below
    List<NavigationContext> navlist = new List<NavigationContext>(){navobj,navobj2,navobj3};

I then Make the call below
    Frame.Navigate(typeof(Page2), navlist);

If I pass one object the code works and compiles and the new page is navigated too sucessfully*
**If I pass a list as above I get the following error on the foreach iterator in the OnNavigatedTo method
**Example code below*
 string myfiller = "";

foreach (NavigationContext navobj in e.Parameter)
{
myfiller += navobj.ID.ToString() + "  " + navobj.Name + "  " + navobj.Description+ "\n";
}

I get the following error:
foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'object' because 'object' does not contain a public definition for GetENumerator.
I have tried to find ways to cast the list back to NavigationContext objects but I think I am doing something stupid because I cann0t get it to work.
Any suggestions?

A: Try this:
List<NavigationContext> navigationObjects = e.Parameter as List<NavigationContext>;
if(null != navigationObjects)
{
    foreach (NavigationContext navobj in navigationObjects)
    {
        myfiller += navobj.ID.ToString() + "  " + navobj.Name + "  " + navobj.Description+ "\n";
    }
}

Note that if the e.Parameter object cannot be interpreted as the correct type (a List<NavigationContext>) then using the as operator will result in a null value that can be tested to prevent further problems when you try to use the elements of the list as NavigationContext objects.

Resident wins appeal against Toowong 'champagne flute' development
By Amy Mitchell-Whittington
May 8, 2018 — 1.43pm
A Brisbane resident has won an appeal against the approval of a three-tower complex at the former ABC studio site in Toowong.
Resident Kate Peta Bell initially launched a Planning and Environment Court appeal against the 555-unit riverside development, dubbed the "champagne flutes" by locals, in 2015.
An artist's impression of Sunland's proposed $430 million Grace on Coronation development.
The local, who lives on adjoining land, contested the Zaha Hadid-designed and Sunland-built Grace on Coronation, with two 24 storey towers and one 27 storey tower, did not comply with Brisbane City Council's planning scheme, which only allowed for 15 storeys on the site.
Her initial appeal was dismissed in May last year after Judge Michael Rackemann conceded while the $430 million proposal's height did not comply with the area's zoning regulations, that was offset by public space around the base of the towers.
"Insofar as the character of the area more generally is concerned, it must be remembered that Toowong is undergoing a rapid transformation consistently with the planning intent for that area," he said.
"Its built form is increasingly being characterised by high-rise contemporary developments.
"The proposal will have a distinctive design and be ... refreshing in terms of apartment building design, but that does not make it inconsistent with the emerging and intended character of the area."
In the Supreme Court on Friday, Justice Philip McMurdo determined Judge Rackemann had formed his "own judgment" without recognising the relevance of the planning scheme, which determined "both a community need and an economic need for the development" must exist if the height is to exceed regulations.
"The same may be said of his conclusion that the public interest justified the conflict between the decision and overall outcome," he said.
"Ultimately, by the judge substituting his own view of the public interest for that which was expressed in the scheme, there was a legal error which affected his conclusion."
Justice McMurdo granted Ms Bell's appeal and returned the matter to the Planning and Environmental Court for further consideration.
The Grace on Coronation proposal also emerged as an political issue during the 2016 council election.

Half Moon Run – 'Dark Eyes'
Kevin EG Perry Jul 2, 2013 5:12 pm BST
Half Moon Run - 'Dark Eyes'
While the music works when it's slow, sparse and emotional, the band's debut comes into its own when it steps up the pace.
Released in Canada last year, this debut from the Montreal four-piece has been remixed and remastered, with new song 'Unofferable' added for its UK release. It's glossier now, but it's the quality of the songs that makes the album stand out. 'Dark Eyes' remains a quietly stunning record full of the sort of harmonies that Band Of Horses, whom HMR most closely resemble, have based a career around.
Opener 'Full Circle' is reminiscent of Fleet Foxes – all pretty arpeggios and layered arrangements, gradually building to something more substantial. Elsewhere, slow-burning tracks 'No More Losing The War', 'Need It' and 'Unofferable' have a deep intensity about them. They're a sensitive bunch, Half Moon Run, and 'Dark Eyes' is serious business. Singer Devon Portielje has wronged someone – Karen, whose name he heartbreakingly yelps on 'No More Losing The War' – and he doesn't mind beating himself up about it. 'Need It' finds him waking from a dream in which he pulled out his hair because he was untrue to her. On 'Drug You', he's lamenting the fact that even when he's out of his mind, there's no escape –he's "still a head full of hate".
While the music works when it's slow, sparse and emotional, the band's debut comes into its own when it steps up the pace. 'She Wants To Know' skips along, a mass of slinky rhythms and shapes. 'Give Up' is a ringer for 'Reckoner' from Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' – no bad thing. And overall, this is a debut worthy of much wider attention. With songs as well crafted as 'Nerve', it's hard to imagine HMR not getting it.

Debate and criticism are not the enemies
Nazarul Islam
Published at 02:22 pm May 9th, 2020

We should always raise our voices against injustice and corruption
"It seemed so easy to do it." All those who fell from power and grace ended up with these thoughts. In order to escape accountability for crimes, perpetrators of political agendas will do everything in their power to promote forgetting. Secrecy and silence are the perpetrators' first line of defense.
If secrecy fails, they attack the credibility of their victim. If they cannot be silenced absolutely, they try to make sure that no one listens. To this end, they have marshalled an impressive array of arguments, from the most blatant denial to the most sophisticated and elegant rationalization.
After every atrocity, one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: It never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on.
The more powerful the perpetrators, the greater their prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely shall the arguments prevail. This is the undeniable truth. Did we really choose a leader who would make their citizens proud?
One who was expected to stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of the nation strived to emulate their leader's greatness. We can hope to be truly great when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honourable decision-makers, and peace-makers.
And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. And, leadership must be steered only by their conscience. I share the story of grief-stricken Bengalis who have been caught in a different kind of war of liberation.
In the 2020 World Press Freedom Index released Tuesday by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Bangladesh was placed at 151 out of 180 countries, which is one point below last year's ranking. In the index, RSF said it had noted a "disturbing increase in press freedom violations, including violence by political activists against reporters in the field, the arbitrary blocking of news websites, and arbitrary arrests of journalists."
Kajol had remained an outspoken critic of Bangladesh's ruling party. The day before he went missing, he was charged under the DSA, having been targeted for a report linking a lawmaker to a Dhaka "escort" service. The editor had been seen in CCTV footage released by Amnesty International showing him leaving his office in Dhaka on the evening of March 10.
The footage also showed people tampering with Kajol's motorcycle while he was in the office and running behind him after he rides off. While experts considered it as strong video evidence that could have been used to trace what happened to Kajol, the police reportedly downplayed it.
"We sent the video footage to the police to find my father. But the investigative officer later told me that they hadn't found anything suspicious in the footage," said Kajol's son, Monorom Polok. When contacted by reporters, the lead investigator of Kajol's case had said that he had not received any updates about the missing journalist.
However, the official told local the media that Kajol's mobile phone was briefly switched on in Benapole, a Bangladeshi town near the border with India on April 9, but police did not conduct an operation in the area due to lack of time and resources. Eventually, Kajol was found in Benapole.
Meanwhile, an online campaign using the twitter hashtag #WhereIsKajol was launched by journalists and activists to put pressure on the Bangladeshi authorities to find Kajol. Many people posted pictures on social media with placards like "Where is Kajol?" printed on them.
"I strongly demand Kajol's safe return," Dil Afrose Jahan, an investigative journalist based in Dhaka, told DW. "The online campaign is not only for him, but it's also for all of us who are in this profession. We have to fight to protect ourselves, and we have to give ourselves a voice first." Sofia Karim, an activist based in London, had been campaigning online to find Kajol since his disappearance.
Bringing the news
Meanwhile, four editors and journalists were charged on Saturday after a complaint filed by a ruling party leader under the Digital Security Act. They had been reporting on alleged embezzlement of aid for coronavirus victims from a district in Bangladesh.
Online newspaper editors Toufique Imrose Khalidi and Mohiuddin Sarker, as well as local journalists Tanvir Hasan and Rahim Shubho, had also been charged with the "publishing of offensive, false, defamatory, or fear- inducing data or information."
Khalidi runs Bangladesh's most popular online news website. Hasan had claimed that the lawsuit was filed to muzzle journalists so that they avoid reporting on corruption committed by ruling party politicians. "Police have acted swiftly in taking on the case.
It's an attempt to stop us from writing about corruption," he told reporters. Human rights experts have said the Digital Security Act is draconian and demanded that the law be abolished since it was enacted in 2018. They confided that the measure can be used to systematically muzzle journalists and rights activists.
"When journalists are accused of criminal charges for performing their professional duties, this means that the state is defining a boundary beyond which no one is eligible to exercise their right to freedom of expression," said rights activist Saad Hammadi.
"Some of the provisions of the Digital Security Act are vague and highly repressive because of the harsh punishment they entail, and in violation of international human rights law." Bernhard Hertlein is a German journalist and rights activist, and had expressed his dismay that the "draconian" law targets everyone from journalists to ordinary citizens.
"Even doctors who write about the danger of the coronavirus on Facebook face charges." A vibrant society in Bangladesh need not be afraid to raise voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed.
Without debate, without criticism, no administration and neither country, nor the state can succeed -- nor can the republic survive. It is time we learned our fundamental truths.

Roberto Firmino will be 'compiling list' at Liverpool after Diogo Jota breakthrough
The Reds comfortably dispatched the Serie A side thanks to a hat-trick from Diogo Jota
Bobby VincentTrends Writer
Follow all the latest developments, transfer news and more with our Reds newsletter
Rio Ferdinand believes Diogo Jota has put Roberto Firmino under 'huge pressure' at Liverpool following his Champions League hat-trick against Atalanta on Tuesday.
Jota replaced Firmino in Bergamo after coming on as a substitute and scoring the decisive goal in the 2-1 win over West Ham United last weekend.
The Portuguese international has scored 10 goals in his first nine Liverpool appearances and with Firmino netting just once, his place in the team could be under threat ahead of the trip to Manchester City on Sunday.
Rio Ferdinand reveals why Diogo Jota is better at Liverpool than Wolves
Diogo Jota shakes Liverpool foundations and must make Wolves angry
"I'm sure Firmino will be sitting there compiling a little playback list to show to Klopp to remind him of what he's capable of doing," Ferdinand said.
"Firmino, like it or not, will want to start and this guy's put him under huge pressure."

Jota is already just six shy of the tally he reached in all competitions for Wolverhampton Wanderers last season and Ferdinand was impressedby his link-up play alongside Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in Italy.
"He's in a better team, getting better opportunities," Ferdinand continued. "He's probably already had more opportunities already in his time at Liverpool than he probably did last year at Wolves."

"He was probably playing wider last year as well. The thing I love about this front three, it's almost like you [used to need] a big man in your team.
"It was like you had to have a big man, a target man, a bit different, but they're three very similar players.
"They're all the same height, very quick, aggressive and strong, their all-round game is something people would not associate with a small man. They have a really good combination."

Robert M. Haas (* 3. Januar 1889 in Newark, New Jersey; † 17. Dezember 1962 in Costa Mesa, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Filmarchitekt mit beachtlicher Karriere bei Warner Bros. in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren.

Leben
Robert M. Haas hatte Architektur an der University of Pennsylvania studiert und seit 1912 als freischaffender Architekt gearbeitet, ehe er 1920 als künstlerischer Leiter zur Filmgesellschaft Famous Players-Lasky Corporation ging. Mit seinen Dekors zur ersten bedeutsamen Verfilmung des Gruselliteraturklassikers Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde erhielt Haas bereits in seinem ersten Arbeitsjahr eine interessante Aufgabe. Später (1923/24) zeigte sich besonders seine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Regisseur Henry King als fruchtbar.

Seit 1929 für Warner Bros. aktiv, konnte Robert Haas erst ab Mitte der 30er Jahre lohnende Aufträge ergattern, zunächst vor allem als Designer für die Filme Mervyn Le Roys, später häufig für diverse Bette-Davis-Starvehikel wie Jezebel – Die boshafte Lady, Opfer einer großen Liebe und Reise aus der Vergangenheit. Mit seinen nüchternen Dekorationen zu dem Kultkrimi Die Spur des Falken trug Haas 1941 dazu bei, den Film noir aus der Taufe zu heben. 1948 und 1949 erhielt er jeweils eine Oscarnominierung für seine Arbeit an der Familienkomödie Unser Leben mit Vater und am Melodram Schweigende Lippen. Nach den Dekoentwürfen zur einfühlsamen Verfilmung von Tennessee Williams' Die Glasmenagerie mit Kirk Douglas und Jane Wyman zog sich Haas 1950 vom Kinofilm zurück.

Cyrus Mistry, the Former Chairman of Tata Sons, Passes Away
Cyrus Mistry was a former chairman of Tata Sons
He was ousted from the post in 2016
He died in a road accident near Mumbai
He was the sixth chairman of the company
Cyrus Mistry Net Worth – Writer
Cyrus Mistry, the former Tata Sons chairman, has passed away after a road accident near Mumbai. Mistry was ousted from the post in 2016 and was the sixth chairman of the company. He was buried in Mumbai. His death was a shock to the business world.
Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry has died in a road accident in Maharashtra. He was travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a Mercedes car when it hit a divider. The accident killed Mistry and two other passengers. The body was shifted to Kasa Rural Hospital for postmortem.
Mistry was born on July 4, 1968. He has a degree in civil engineering and a master's in business from London Business School. He also held a membership of the National Integration Council.
Cyrus Mistry was the second chairman of the Tata Group, after Dorabji Tata, when he was appointed on 28 December 2012. He was the youngest son of construction tycoon Pallonji Mistry, and was described by The Economist as one of the most influential industrialists in India. After Ratan Tata stepped down in 2012, Mistry became chairman.
Mistry became chairman of Tata Sons in 2012, after Ratan Tata announced his retirement in December 2012. During this time, his company was the target of a boardroom coup led by Tata Trusts, which held a 66% stake in the company. As the dispute raged, allegations of mismanagement and suppression of minority shareholders' rights were levelled against Mistry. Mistry was later removed from his position and left the company, setting up a venture capital firm. His daughter, Priyanka Chaturvedi, married a member of the Tata family.
Cyrus Mistry, the former chairman of Tata Sons, died on Sunday in a road accident near Mumbai. He had been traveling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai when he was involved in an accident with his car. Two people were injured in the crash and two of them were rushed to a hospital, but sadly, Cyrus Mistry was killed on the spot. The two other people in the car were also taken to the hospital.
The accident occurred near the bridge near Charoti at around 3:15 pm. He was killed instantly and the other driver, Jahangir Binshah Pandol, was also killed. Mistry's death is a shock for everyone in the industry, and his contributions to the country's economic progress will be remembered for a long time to come. Mistry is survived by his wife and two sons.
Cyrus Mistry was the sixth chairman of the Tata Sons Group from 2012 to 2016. Born in 1968, Cyrus Mistry's age is 54 years, Mistry graduated from Imperial College and has a Master's degree in management from London Business School. His family members own 18.4% of Tata Sons.
The Mistry family owns about 18 percent of Tata Sons, which is why they are the largest shareholders. Mistry was named chairman of the company in December of 2012 after his father retired.
Cyrus Mistry is a well-known Writer and is estimated to be worth between $1 million and $7 million. Mistry is a member of the National Integration Council. His wealth comes from various sources, including his earnings and salary. However, his net worth may vary over time.
Cyrus Mistry's wife, Rohiqa Chagla, is the granddaughter of the late M.C. Chagla, who planned Cyrus Mistry's legal battle with Tata Sons. They have two children together. Cyrus Mistry is an Indian national and Irish citizen. He is also a director of Tata Sons, an Indian conglomerate.
Cyrus Mistry is the younger son of billionaire Pallonji Mistry. His parents are of Zoroastrian origin. His father took hold of Irish citizenship by choice. Mistry's family has been active in business for almost a century. His grandfather, Shapoorji Mistry, acquired his first stake in Tata Sons in the 1930s.
Cyrus Mistry's net worth is estimated at close to $10 billion. Mistry's net worth is largely driven by his stake in Tata Sons. He has also served on the National Integration Council. Earlier, Mistry was removed as executive chairman of Tata Sons and was replaced by Chandrasekaran. However, the Supreme Court ruled his removal as legal and upheld the Tata family's rules on minority shareholder rights.

Q: How to execute background tasks in flutter while the application is closed? I'm trying to schedule a background task in Flutter, firing a notification and updating a database row.
I'm using:

*

*workmanager package to schedule tasks in the background.

*flutter_local_notifications to fire notifications.

*hive to persist data.

Problem:
When the application is in the foreground, or in the bckground the scheduled task gets executed, but when the application is closed nothing happens.
Code samples:
This function is used to schedule the task:
Future scheduleDailyUpdateTask(DomainHabit habit) async {
String uniqueName = "$DAILY_UPDATE_TASK: ${habit.id}";
String tag = habit.id.toString();

await Workmanager.initialize(callbackDispatcher);
await Workmanager.registerPeriodicTask(uniqueName, DAILY_UPDATE_TASK,
    tag: tag,
    inputData: {
      ID: habit.id,
    },
    frequency: Duration(days: 1),
    initialDelay: Duration(days: 1),
    backoffPolicy: BackoffPolicy.exponential,
    backoffPolicyDelay: Duration(seconds: 10));
}

This function is used to execute the task:
void callbackDispatcher() {
  Workmanager.executeTask((taskName, inputData) async {
    //show the notification
    print("WorkManager task executed taskName: $taskName");
    print("inputData: $inputData");

    if (taskName == REMINDER_NOTIFICATION_TASK ||
        taskName == DAILY_UPDATE_TASK) {
      int id = inputData[ID] as int;

      await HabitDatabase.initDatabase();
      await HabitDatabase.openHabitsBox();
      Habit habit = HabitDatabase.getHabit(id);

      await NotificationHelper.initNotifications();

      if (taskName == REMINDER_NOTIFICATION_TASK) {
        await NotificationHelper.showNotification(id, habit.name,
            "Take it one day at a time, Good luck!.", habit.name);
      }

      if (taskName == DAILY_UPDATE_TASK) {
        await HabitDatabase.updateHabit(
            id, habit.copyWith(days: habit.days + 1));

        await NotificationHelper.showNotification(
            id,
            habit.name,
            "Congratulations fo getting by another day, Validate your progress.",
            habit.name);
      }
    }

    return Future.value(true);
  });
}

A: In an app I created in Android Studio, when the activity is 'destroyed' I launch a service to re-start the app.
Since then some more parameters have been added, perhaps this 're-start' service can be executed in the Finish()
More info here, maybe this is in the right direction. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#onDestroy()

Meet Abby Cates, the local teen singing sensation featured this season on 'The Voice'
At times, Abby Cates feels like she's been living a "double-life" since securing a spot on the hit TV series, "The Voice."
The Mason resident has been balancing a blossoming music career in L.A. while finishing her senior year of high school at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.
Cates advanced through several rounds on "The Voice," and made it to the Top 24. She was eliminated on Tuesday, Nov. 13.
>> Abby Cates eliminated from "The Voice"
During the "Blind Auditions" episode on "The Voice," Cates started singing Alessia Cara's "Scars to Your Beautiful," and Kelly Clarkson almost immediately slammed her big red judge's button to claim Cates as a member of her team for Season 15.
Fans and family backstage were jumping with excitement. It had been a long road for the 17-year-old and former Centerville resident who grew up singing and acting. She lived in Centerville up through the eighth grade and is an alumni of Town Hall Theatre in Washington Township.
>> PHOTOS: A look back at Abby Cates' journey on "The Voice"
"It's kind of fun. I feel like I'm living two different lives. I kind of feel like Hannah Montana. Because on one hand, I feel normal," Cates told us in an interview following the first round of the singing competition. "Like I'm doing normal stuff in my senior year like going to football games and doing classes and stuff like that, but I'm also doing part homeschool because of 'The Voice.' ... So it's kind of a double-life scenario."
The dream to sing in front of others has been taking shape since the first grade right here in the Dayton-area, Cates said. While attending Primary Village South in Centerville, Cates had a taste of the spotlight during a solo performance in first grade.
"I realized people actually kind of like this." Then, ever since the young starling took it to the "big stage" in second grade at her first show at Towne Hall Theatre, the dream has been "nonstop."
"The Voice" was Cates' first mega platform to let her talent shine. More than 100,000 fans had already been following her online on her Instagram account before "The Voice." Since 2014, Cates has been singing and playing instruments in her bedroom, which helped her grow a fan base. It was actually her online followers who began encouraging her to audition for something bigger, like "The Voice" or "American Idol." It turned out that "The Voice" producers had plans to contact her directly — "skipping" the very beginning audition lines in a sense.

"I was kind of thinking about it and always had it in the back of my mind and then 'The Voice' reached out to me to come audition for them," Cates said. "I was like 'oh, it's meant to be. I have to do it.'"

Now that her music career is reaching a new level, Cates' online fan base continues to grow.
drag me down 👇🏽 ALSO OMG 40K WHAt THANKS YOU GUYS
A post shared by Abby Cates 🌼 (@abbycatesmusic) on Aug 27, 2015 at 4:50pm PDT
"I'm really excited for them to finally see," Cates said. "... Just seeing something come to fruition — not just filming in my room and uploading it online. It's reaching millions of people on national television. So it's even cooler to have this bigger platform to work with."
Credit: NBC
Although Cates was limited in how much she could disclose at the time, she said the next two rounds of the show have been filmed. Between episodes, the teen had been jet-setting back and forth between Ohio and L.A.— filming and training with "The Voice" coach Kelly Clarkson.
hey @kellyclarkson let's get to work ;) #teamkelly !!!! I'm so excited for this opportunity lets go to battles y'all!!! (@clairedejean we love some team Kelly girls)
A post shared by Abby Cates 🌼 (@abbycatesmusic) on Oct 9, 2018 at 6:37pm PDT
"I'm just so excited that everyone's supporting me, and I'm glad to be representing Cincinnati and Dayton," Cates said.

assuming i didnt misinterpret my math fren(last yr now), math is mostly about specialisation.
u can specialise in various fields for math.
mathematical science offer computing? as in IST and comp sci?
What did you say about why u choose linguistic, and your goals?
Few selected modules only. Plus some basic programming in year 1.
Are the maths modules difficult? More difficult than h2 maths? And what topics they mainly focused at?
Stop arguing about the usefulness of arts degrees, this is considered out of topic here (not admission related). Each person has their own freedom to choose their desired course, do not impose opinions on others. No unconstructive arguing in this thread. Want to give advice (no matter how "hard truth" it is), word it properly and be sensitive to others as well.

Before this thread gets huge again, I would want to remind to keep discussions civil, and try to stay in topic. marigoldhl has said what I want to say so I do not need to repeat it again. I am sure you won't want the admin to step in.
Hi, I was recently provided an interview by NTU based on my appeal letter. What are the chances of them accepting me as my grades are slightly off from the IGP.

The news that the EPA would continue to allow the spraying of chlorpyrifos alarmed doctors and other public health officials, but what's even more interesting is that according to several recent Freedom of Information Act requests, Pruitt met with Dow CEO Andrew Liveris at a Houston hotel just twenty days prior to making his controversial decision.

Sea Shepherd Launches "Operation Leviathan" to Defend Whales
Sea Shepherd Launches "Operation Leviathan" to Defend Whales
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has embarked on their most ambitious campaign to date - a campaign to raise $3 million to purchase a second vessel that will join their flagship, Farley Mowat, in their upcoming Whale Defense Campaign this December in Antarctica. The campaign, called Operation Leviathan, will raise funds to purchase a ship that can match the speed of the Japanese whaling fleet which is determined to slaughter more than 1,000 whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary.
Sea Shepherd is the only organization that is capable of intervening against illegal Japanese whaling activities in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. Their unique, no-nonsense, direct-action strategy has an almost 30-year history of successes in whale protection.
"I established Sea Shepherd for the specific purpose of upholding the laws that protect whales and marine wildlife," said Captain Paul Watson, Founder and President of Sea Shepherd. Unlike other organizations that bear witness and document the slaughter, Sea Shepherd directly intervenes to uphold international conservation law in accordance with the principles of the United Nations World Charter for Nature.
Saving whales is what Sea Shepherd does best and what they are most noted for. Their approach has been simple and straightforward and they have shut down outlaw whaling activities in Norway, Iceland, Spain, and the former Soviet Union. They continue to be the most aggressive, most successful, and only organization dedicated to direct-action and intervention to protect the great leviathans.
"The key to success is to have the ship with the speed to shut down the whalers," continued Captain Watson. "We have found that ship and we have just over two more months to raise the funds needed to depart for the waters off the coast of Antarctica where we can intercept and shut down the pirate whalers from Japan."
The campaign will fund the new vessel and operations to bring two ships, a helicopter and more than 50 international volunteer crewmembers to meet the Japanese whalers on the high seas. The Society has already raised almost half the funds needed.
The Farley Mowat and her crew in Antarctica 2005-6
"The outpouring of support from caring individuals around the world has been both amazing and inspiring," said Captain Watson. "We have found that there is much compassion around the world for protecting and defending the gentle giants of the oceans."
"We will be going south in December," said Dutch Captain Alex Cornelissen of the Farley Mowat. "The Japanese intend to kill over a 1,000 whales including endangered humpback and fin whales in violation of international conservation law.

A healthy commercial property portfolio is rather like a garden – for consistent growth you need to know when and where to sow, have enough variety to cover all seasons and be prepared to weed out the unproductive. If you've already bought commercial property and are looking to build your investment portfolio, here are some tips and advice from an expert in the field.
Stephen Gorman, managing director of Gorman Commercial, says it's important to learn all you can about the commercial property market so you can make informed decisions.
• Your budget, how much you can spend and what you want/need to get in return. • How much you can borrow and on what terms. • How you will manage if the tenant leaves, and for how long. • The effect of interest-rate movements. • Contingency plans in case a poorly-performing investment can't be sold quickly.
Building an investment portfolio in commercial real estate differs from other asset classes – success comes more from the ongoing management of the asset than from buying and reselling. Gorman says it is crucial to develop a working relationship with a knowledgeable commercial real estate agent.
It's a symbiotic relationship, and it can work well for both agent and investor. The agent wants to manage your properties, keep them tenanted and help maintain their value. In return, he will keep you informed about the market, advise you on purchases and warn you away from potential risks.
"If I know someone's bought a few properties and they're looking at building their portfolio, I will happily offer advice in return for the management when they buy. That way, I can help them avoid making mistakes such as buying properties that have high yields because the rents are unreasonable, or the tenants are leaving soon.
If you don't have an agent you can trust and feel comfortable with, consider engaging a valuer to ensure the property you're considering is solid, that the tenants are paying the rent and that you'll get the return you expect on your capital.
Gorman suggests that whatever else is in your portfolio, a fairly safe addition is strata offices with three- to five-year leases in larger buildings that are no more than 20 years old.
Commercial real estate is different from buying a home – it comes down to yields, leases and tenancies, so it's important to do careful due diligence before committing to any purchase.
Ultimately, the success of your commercial property investment portfolio will depend largely on how much work you do and the relationships you develop with your chosen team of experts. Be prepared to pay for good advice, but remember that their answers will be dependent upon your questions, so the more you know the better they'll be.


Years of politically motivated violence, crime, corruption, poverty, underdevelopment and other chronic social ills in Honduras had by 2016 engendered widespread fear, desperation and anger. And following the 2016 murder of the famous Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres, this already-fragile social and political climate was understandably pushed to the breaking point.
And since her death, an outraged coalition of domestic and international civil-society organizations has coordinated a campaign against economic development in Honduras and elsewhere. Rooted in false claims conceived from the findings of an investigative report rife with procedural failings, the coalition's campaign successfully pressured the state into abandoning the rule of law. The result has been the judicial and extra-judicial prosecution against two innocent businessmen accused of participating in her killing.
In this White Paper, titled "War on Development: Exposing the COPINH Disinformation Campaign Surrounding the Berta Cáceres Case," Amsterdam & Partners LLP presents findings from a review of thousands of pages of evidence and digital forensic data, which contains alarming revelations regarding the conduct of Cáceres' former organization, the Consejo Cívico de Organizaciones Populares e Indígenas de Honduras (COPINH).
