Red flag: consumers are using Buy Now, Pay Later to cover their daily expenses
Buy now, pay later installment plans have become popular among consumers looking to spread the cost of major purchases. But now, rising prices are forcing some cash-strapped shoppers to seek out these alternative payment methods for day-to-day purchases, such as their daily coffee, filling up at the gas station, or grocery shopping. That's a concern for economists and consumer advocates, who say the rise in use of these services, coupled with a lack of transparency and weak regulatory oversight, leaves them wondering how much Americans actually go into debt. While other household debt, such as credit card spending and auto loans, is collected and tracked by the Federal Reserve, Buy Now, Pay Later data is not included because financing is typically provided by non-banking sources and is not yet reported in a full report. way to the credit bureaus.

Is voice payment going to be the next big thing?
In India, the current winds of change seem to be in favor of adopting voice-based payment technology. The voice-based smart assistant revolution, which started with Siri and Alexa, is now hailed as the key enabler for a large percentage of the population to embrace digital payments. Traditional digital payment is a reliable method, but it requires constant checking of account numbers, cross-checking between apps, and more. As a result, voice technology ushers in a new era of far too fast and convenient digital payments. [Mint]
Consumer Finance Bureau 'out of control' under Biden director, critics say
After one of the federal government's most powerful bureaucrats warned it would 'police repeat offenders', the nation's largest business group wants to limit its powers. The US Chamber of Commerce launched a six-figure digital ad campaign in late June targeting Rohit Chopra, director of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, nominated by President Biden in 2021 and confirmed without a single Republican vote.

JD Power: Debit, credit card use still outpacing alternative payment methods
According to a recent study published by JD Power, debit and credit card transactions continue to lead the way in payment transactions over digital payment alternatives. Across all age groups of US consumers in the past three months, 32% turned to their debit card most often to pay and 28% used their credit card. Behind cards were ATM withdrawals (12%), cash (11%), checks (6%), mobile wallet (2%). Other alternatives, such as P2P payment apps, prepaid or gift cards, "buy now, pay later" or cryptocurrencies were only used by 1% of consumers each during this same period three months, according to the survey. [ABA Banking Journal]
Bank of America says consumer spending remains resilient despite inflation
Bank of America said customer spending continued to show signs of resilience despite soaring inflation, pent-up demand for travel and leisure countering rising gasoline prices and other increased costs. Spending on credit and debit cards rose 11% from a year earlier in June, compared with an increase of 13% in April and 9% in May, the bank said Thursday. The spending hike comes amid rising prices and fears that the United States is on the verge of slipping into recession. [Bloomberg]
Microsoft rolls back facial recognition scanning, but big questions remain
Microsoft is waiving public support for certain AI-based features, including facial recognition, and acknowledging the discrimination and accuracy issues these offerings create. But the company had years to fix the issues and didn't. It's like a car manufacturer recalling a vehicle rather than repairing it. Despite fears that facial recognition technology could be discriminatory, the real problem is that the results are inaccurate. [ComputerWorld]
CFPB notifies fee collectors
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued an advisory warning debt collectors that many of the "pay-to-pay" fees they charge often violate federal law. These fees, commonly described by debt collectors as a "convenience fee", are imposed on consumers who wish to make a payment in a particular way, such as online or over the phone. This new advisory is another step in the CFPB's crusade against junk fees, but it adds a new approach that can save resources for the agency, while being as effective as a new rule. [PYMNTS]
How retailers are approaching cryptocurrency payments
Deloitte recently released a report on its survey of 2,000 senior executives at US retail companies to examine interests and investments in crypto as a payment method. The report found that 64% of merchants surveyed indicated that their customers have significant interest in crypto payment options, and 83% expect this interest to increase over the next year. Based on this data, many companies are investigating the long-term role of crypto in retail transactions, perhaps expecting current user demographics to grow and change over time. Crypto users are not overly influenced by market fluctuations, according to a study by Gartner's Software Advice. [Retail Dive]
Apple watches fuel purchases from the dashboard as it improves car software
Apple wants you to start buying gas straight from your car's dashboard as soon as this fall, when the latest version of its CarPlay software rolls out, accelerating the company's efforts to turn your vehicle into a retail store. goods and services. A new feature quietly unveiled at Apple's Developer Conference this month will allow CarPlay users to tap an app to access a pump and buy gas directly from a screen in the car, skipping the usual process of inserting or entering a credit card.

Understand 3D credit card security and how it might affect your travels to other countries
Credit card security technology 3D Secure, or 3DS as it is sometimes called, helps verify that online transactions are genuine. It checks a number of factors to authenticate a purchase, including the user's location, purchase history on that credit card, and even if the personal data provided during the transaction matches what the bank has. in the file. If the technology identifies any discrepancies during this verification process, it may institute an additional security check via SMS, email or phone call before finalizing the purchase. Users get an improved experience with a simpler transaction. Banks benefit from reduced fraud and chargebacks. And merchants benefit from an easier process for consumers to actually complete the transaction and spend money with the merchant. [The Points Guy]

'70S-INSPIRED TRAINERS WITH A RUNNER LOOK.
A seamless blend of the past and present. These running-inspired shoes offer retro style in a sleek silhouette. They have an airy mesh upper contrasted by suede on the heel. A lightweight midsole cushions every step.


's first-team squad and staff have paid emotional tribute to the late Gordon Banks with a minute's silence before training on Tuesday morning.
Manager Nathan Jones was joined by chief executive Tony Scholes plus academy players and coaches to pay their respects to the legendary goalkeeper, who died on Monday night aged 81.
Banks, who won the World Cup with England in 1966, played 250 times for Stoke between 1967 and 1973.
Stoke supporters tied red-and-white scarves to the statue of Banks outside their bet365 Stadium, with others leaving floral tributes to the club legend.
Banks was also a member of the Stoke side that won the League Cup in 1972 when they defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley and had served as the club's president since 2000.
Stoke chairman Peter Coates said: 'Gordon was an iconic figure not only in English football but across the globe and it's deeply sad that we have lost him.
'It's not just people of my generation who know how good a goalkeeper he was – people of all ages talked about Gordon reverentially. He was outstanding and it was an absolute privilege to watch him playing for Stoke City.'He was also a keen advocate for our city, which he made his adopted home, and he will be sadly missed by local people from all walks of life, not just football fans.
- After the deaths of Gordon Banks, Alan Ball, Ray Wilson and Bobby Moore... where are the rest of England's 1966 World Cup heroes now?
Regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers of all time, Banks won 73 caps for England and is perhaps best known for his miraculous save to deny the Brazilian great Pele at the 1970 World Cup.
'It is with great sadness that we announce that Gordon passed away peacefully overnight,' his family said, announcing the news.
Banks is the fourth member of the England 1966 team to have died following Bobby Moore, Ray Wilson and Alan Ball.

" Manufacturer's protocol dictates I cannot be captured. "
~ IG-11
IG-11 was a droid introduced in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian.
He was portrayed by Rio Hackford, and voiced by Taika Waititi.
IG-11 was a type of assassin droid largely outlawed in the galaxy by the time of the New Republic. Nine years after the Battle of Yavin IG-11 worked as a bounty hunter when he was tasked with killing the Child, an infant member of the same species as former Jedi Grand Master Yoda. He teamed up with the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin on Arvala-7 in order to find the child. Determined to kill the child IG-11 was shot and heavily damaged by Djarin, who was operating under instructions to bring the Child in alive if at all possible.
After Djarin left for Nevarro IG-11's remains were retrieved by the Uganaught moisture farmer Kuiil, who claimed ownership of the droid under New Republic salvage laws. Finding the droid's neural harness pretty much destroyed, Kuiil set about rebuilding the droid, reprogramming IG-11 and training the droid how to help him on his moisture farm.
Joining his master and Djarin on a mission to kill the Imperial remnant backed client who wanted the Child, IG-11 was unable to assist his master when Kuiil was shot and killed by Imperial scout troopers. He was able to rescue the child from the troopers, riding a speeder bike in to town where he rejoined Djarin. Finding the Mandalorian critically injured, he convinced the man to allow him to remove his helmet by stating he was not alive.
IG-11 later sacrificed himself by activating his self destruct, killing a platoon of Imperial stormtroopers who were waiting to kill him and his friends. Djarin, who had at the least mistrusted droids every since childhood, was saddened over the loss of a droid he had come to regard as a friend.

On Tuesday, we brought you news about Patrick Lussier's next film, the horror thriller Trick. In which Durmot Mulroney will play the lead. What we didn't realize at the time, is this makers the second time the two are working together. That's because next month sees the release of Flesh & Blood, as part of Hulu's Into The Dark original programming, that they made with Blumhouse. We even have a trailer now for the film.
Can't really go wrong with Thanksgiving centered horror. That is, there isn't much of it as is, so more is always welcome. Specially as it concerns familial strife. If this looks like a smaller number, it's because Into The Dark is an anthology series, where each episode focuses on different holiday. Think of it falling somewhere between Masters of Horror and NBC's Fear Itself.
Regardless the reception of Flesh and Blood, you can tell Lussier and Mulroney got along great. If anything it makes the prospect of Trick all that more interesting. This "episode", it's feature length so feels weird to label it as that, becomes available November second. The perfect slot for those nursing a Halloween horror hangover.
Are you all big fans of anthology series? Do you prefer them to come in the package of smaller chunks or do you like the episodic nature? Leave a comment with your thoughts below. Hulu plans for 12 episodes in full, so we'll keep you update as the other get announced.

Q: View css not going till the top Iphone X Screen Shot of Iphone Iv'e been trying to make my view background color go till the top on the iPhone x but still can figure out how to do this I still have a white section on the top.
import React from 'react'
import { View, Text, ActivityIndicator, StyleSheet } from 'react-
native'
import firebase from 'firebase';

export default class Loading extends React.Component {
 componentDidMount() {
  // firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(user => {
  //   this.props.navigation.navigate(user ? 'Main' : 'Login')
  // }) // for now to solve problem
  }
render() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Loading</Text>
      <ActivityIndicator size="large" />
    </View>
   )
 }
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
 container: {
 flex: 1,
 backgroundColor: '#2C3E50',
 justifyContent: 'center',
 alignItems: 'center',
}
});

I would very much like the background color to go to the top as well

A: That may be header of stack navigator(very less probability).. or may be with "safeViewiOS"... This may be also a issue with react navigation. Using flex:1 usually takes the screen acc to flex property .. This is surely a inherited property. not a problem with flex or CSS
Try adding :
forceInset={{ bottom: 'never', top: "never" }}>

A: I haven't run your code but I'm assuming that the issue is the switchNavigator is showing a header. If this is the case then you want to change the color of the navigator within the screen that you are on.
So within your Loading class:
export default class Loading extends React.Component {
    // Add this:
    static navigationOptions = {
        headerStyle: {
            backgroundColor: '#2C3E50',
        },
    };
    componentDidMount() {}
    render() {
        return (
            <View style={styles.container}>
                <Text>Loading</Text>
                <ActivityIndicator size="large" />
            </View>
        )
    }
};

HISTORY INFO
Very striking relief molded glass charger signed Verlys France c1935. Smokey glass body with waterlily leaves incised into its underside and water lily flowers in reflief to its top. Watery rippled top surface with flowers picked-out frosted glass. Leaves to underside also forming its three feet. Relief molded signature "Verlys France" (last image). A very lovely display piece. This charger is 35 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm in height.
In 1920, the Societe Holophane Français was set up as a subsidiary of the USA Holophane Company in a glassworks near Rouen in Northern France originally to make vehicle headlights. By 1925, they had expanded into making art glass vases and bowls creating a separate department for these products named "Verlys".  Initially the pieces were blown vessels with several layers of glass, smooth on the outside with internal decoration. From 1933 onward, Verlys focused on high quality moulded glass – producing clear, frosted, opalescent and coloured items with designs typical of Lalique-style glass of the 1930s. In 1935, they established "Verlys of America" in Newark, Ohio.  Moulds were supplied from France for the Ohio works.  Many of the same items were simultaneously made in France and the USA.  American glass was signed with a diamond-point-scratched name, whilst French pieces were marked with a moulded signature. Production in both France and the USA declined during WWII, as the company increasingly focused on industrial products.  From 1940 the Verlys art glass was progressively abandoned in both countries until it ceased altogether circa 1951-52. In 1955, some of the Verlys moulds were leased to Heisey Glassworks, which produced a limited range of Verlys designs until 1957.  These pieces were not signed. In 1966, the surviving Verlys moulds were sold to Fenton Art Glass Company, which produced some items in distinctly different colors than Verlys.  They did not use the Verlys name.

Clarification of several recordkeeping scenarios regarding days away from work, restricted work activity, and work-relatedness.
Standard Number:
1904.5(b)(2)
1904.7(b)(3)(viii)
1904.7(b)(4)(i)
OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at https://www.osha.gov.
Mr. Neil H. Wasser
Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLC
230 Peachtree Street, NW
Dear Mr. Wasser:
Thank you for your March 19, 2008 letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regarding the Recordkeeping regulation contained in 29 CFR Part 1904 – Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. In an effort to provide you with prompt and accurate responses, we developed and continue to refine a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), in addition to maintaining a log of Letters of Interpretation (LOIs) on the OSHA recordkeeping web site. This information is publicly available and can be immediately retrieved from OSHA's web site at http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/entryfaq.html.
Your letter requests guidance on several issues with the following scenarios and questions:
1. An employee who performs office clerical work injures her knee in a work-related accident. She has out-patient surgery one month after the knee injury and is released by her doctor with the only restriction being: "May work at home." The company sets up a computer and forwards her business phone to the employee's house so she can work while recovering from surgery. The employee works from home, but does not work the full 8 hours during the work day. The employee was able to perform all of her routine job functions from home during this time.
Question 1: Should the days that the employee is performing clerical services for the company from her home be treated as restricted work activity or days-away-from work?
Answer 1: Section 1904.7(b)(1) provides that an employer must record a work-related injury or illness if it results in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or diagnoses of significant injury or illness by a physician or other licensed health care professional. Section 1904.7(b)(3) states that employers must record a work-related injury or illness that results in days away from work, and Section 1904.7(b)(4) provides that employers must record a work-related injury or illness that involves restricted work or job transfer. Section 1904.7(b)(4)(i) makes clear that "restricted work" occurs when the employer keeps the employee from performing one or more routine job functions of his or her job, or from working the full workday that he or she would otherwise have been scheduled to work.
Based on the information described in your letter and assuming that the employee does not work from home as part of her normal work schedule, the case should be recorded as days away from work. In your scenario, the employer has made the determination that the employee cannot work in the office, but allows her to work from home while she recovers from surgery. In other words, the employer has made a decision that the employee needs days away (from the office) in order to recover from a work-related injury.
However, the answer to your question would be different if the employee's normal work schedule includes one or more work days at home. For example, if the employee described in your letter is normally scheduled to work from home two days (8-hour work days) per week, you would count the days worked at home as restricted work because the employee did not work the full 8-hour work day. See Section 1904.7(b)(4)(i)(A). Under such a scenario, the other three days of the week the employee is scheduled to work in the office would be recorded as days away from work.
2. An employee arrives at work and parks his car in the company parking lot. As the employee is getting out of his car, he inadvertently slams the car door on his finger, and the injury requires "medical treatment."
Question 2: Is this injury considered part of the commute to work under §1904.5(b)(2)(vii) and, thus, not work-related, or should this injury be considered a work-related injury?
Answer 2: In order for the exception in Section 1904.5(b)(2)(vii) to apply, the case must meet all three of the following conditions. First, the injury must occur when the employee is commuting to or from work, and not when the employee is traveling in the interest of the employer. Second, the injury must take place in the company parking lot or company access road (the work establishment). Finally, the injury must result from a motor vehicle accident. OSHA interprets the exemption in Section 1904.5(b)(2)(vii) narrowly to include only those "motor vehicle accidents" involving moving personally-owned vehicles; i.e., those involving an employee-owned car or truck which has not been parked. (See OSHA's Letter of Interpretation to Vaught – July 14, 2008 attached.)
The employee's injury did not result from a motor vehicle accident during his commute. Instead, the employee was injured when he slammed the car door on his finger. As a result, the case does not meet the exception in Section 1904.5(b)(2)(vii), and, therefore, is work-related. Because the employee received "medical treatment," the case meets the general recording criteria in Section 1904.7(b)(5) and must be recorded on the establishment's OSHA 300 Log.
3. An employee suffers a knee injury as a result of a work-related fall March 15. The employee is seen by a physician and is diagnosed with a contusion and treated with "first aid." On April 15, the employee retires from her job for reasons wholly unrelated to the injury. On June 15, the employee is continuing to have knee pain from the March 15 fall. The employee undergoes surgery (medical treatment) on July 15 to treat the March 15 work-related knee injury.
(a) Given that the employee's employment terminated April 15, and this termination was unrelated to the injury, does the March 15 case nevertheless become recordable based on the "medical treatment" that occurs on July 1?
(b) If so, should any days-away-from-work be recorded, and if so, how many such days.
(c) If day's away-from-work should be recorded, shouldn't there also be additional hours of work attributed to the facility so that the incidence rate calculation provided for in the OSHA Recordkeeping instructions will be accurate. That is, if days are recorded on the Log for events post termination, shouldn't hours for those same events also be considered when determining "Number of hours worked by all employees?"
Answer 3: The case should be recorded because it occurred while the worker was still employed. The case met the recording criteria in July when the injury required medical treatment. Work-related injuries and illnesses that meet the recording criteria are recordable throughout the five year record retention and updating period set forth in Section 1904.33. (See OSHA's FAQ 7-20 – http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/detailedfaq.html#1904.7.
Since the recording criteria in Section 1904.7 were met when the employee received "medical treatment," the case should be recorded on the OSHA Log in column J – "Other recordable cases." No lost work time resulted from this injury because the employee was already retired.
4. Assume that an employee who is on restricted work activity for a work-related injury is terminated as a result of that injury. The Recordkeeping Regulations, §1904.7(b)(3)(viii) provides that in such circumstances, "you must estimate the total number of days away or days of restriction/job transfer and enter the day count on the 300 Log."
Question 4: In calculating the "total hours worked by all employees" for purposes of completing the OSHA Form 300A Establishment Information, should additional hours be added to correspond to the number of restricted work activity days or days away from work that are estimated and added to the Log on the terminated employee's case? Failure to add additional hours that correspond to the estimated days would seem to artificially increase the rates and result in inflated rate totals.
Answer 4: No, additional hours should not be added to the total hours worked figure on OSHA Form 300A. Neither OSHA nor BLS calculates rates for day counts. Rates are calculated for the number of cases, while day count data are published by the median number of days away from work. The hours worked figure should reflect the actual number of exposure hours during which a recordable injury or illness could potentially occur.
Thank you for your interest in occupational safety and health. We hope you find this information helpful. OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards, and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. In addition, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at http://www.osha.gov.

In season one of Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we learn that the Kraang are after April O'Neil. That there is something important about her, that makes her a target. We see that she's got powers of her own. As the Kraang express that they need her for what they're doing. Many fans were confused. Though we were told there's still more to see with April when I interviewed Ciro Nieli this last summer. Here is our next taste of April's story line, my review of "The Kraang Conspiracy".
In this episode it starts off showing the Turtles training with April. April realizes they're being watched, and the Turtles chase down the man who had his eyes on them. When they catch up they find that this guy has been following up on the Kraang for a long time. As he reveals how important April is to the Kraang. While talking the Kraang attack, the Turtles get away and head over to TCRI to put the Kraang out of business again. April wants to be included and even when told to stay behind she pushes her way into this mission. In side they find clones of April and get into a handful of trouble. With fighting clones of April and the real April caught by the Kraang they must find away out of TCRI. Watch the episode to learn how they get out of this mess.
This episode was okay, it is a big episode towards April's story. Letting us know a bit more on why April is different. This has had mixed reactions from the fans. Personally, I rather this background than April's history in Volume 4 of the Mirage Comics. As we watch, there's still more to learn about her and I want to see where Ciro, Brandon and those at Nickelodeon bring this adventure.
What I liked about this episode is the April clones., Learning what the Kraang have been up too with April. And seeing some of their mistakes with making the clones. For me it was fun to see the Turtles fight April, having to take her down. Of course this has been hard on poor Donatello, and his crush on April. It was also great seeing that Raphael was the one that got to take off to help save April, with Donatello yelling after him.
What I did not like about this episode is how much of an ego headed jerk April was and she got away with it. She was told to stay behind, she was rude to the guys when they helped her, and then she's able to get out of this mess without being in trouble for her actions. This episode made me feel that Donatello was too good for April O'Neil. A part of me was hoping that she would learn to work with the team and that she needs to improve, only because of how rude she was being about it. For me that was the biggest disappointment with the episode.
Otherwise I enjoyed the humor, found April derp amusing, loved the battle with the Kraang, and did not mind learning about April's history and what she really is. It leaves us guessing on where they're going to ride with this and just what Nickelodeon can throw at us next. It is interesting meeting someone else who knows about the Kraang, but aren't the Turtles worried just who else Kurtzman would be willing to tell this information too? He's a journalist, meaning he's looking for stories. Who knows if that could lead to something else.
This is not my favorite TMNT episode, though it's not the worse either. I've watched it a few times and find it amusing. Though April is not my favvorite character and this based around her. Most likely this is an episode I will watch when showing someone the series in order.
What do you think of "The Kraang Conspiracy"? Do you like that April is not human? Please share reviews, comments and questions below!

The x86 processor market seems to be doing quite well emerging from recession and returning to normal seasonal patterns. While shipments had already shown a significant increase in Q3 2009, the industry had an even more impressive quarter at the end of the year. According to recent figures from IDC, almost 96 million units were dispatched during this period, making up for a record 31.3% year-on-year growth.
Intel's dominance in terms of market share was clear, with 80.5% of the CPU market in the fourth quarter, but rival AMD seems to have done especially well nonetheless. The company saw gains all across the board: in desktops, AMD gained 1.2% to take 28.6% of the market, while Intel slipped 1.1% to take 71.1%. On the mobile sector Intel was down 0.7% to 87.3% and AMD up 0.8% to take 12.7%. The pattern was repeated in the server and workstation market, where Intel took 89.8%, down 0.6%, and AMD was up 0.6% to 10.2%.
For the full year, Intel had a 79.7% share of the processor market, down 0.7%, while AMD gained 0.8% to secure a 20.1% share. IDC attributes AMD's "comeback" to aggressive pricing and a drop in demand for Intel's Atom in Q1 2009. The company also introduced several competitive products during the year. And while their chips couldn't match Intel's in performance, they offered good value in the mainstream and entry level markets.
IDC is now forecasting a healthy growth of 15.1% in worldwide PC processor shipments for 2010, with healthy consumer spending boosted by companies loosening up their IT budgets.

Newsletter nr. 29 – January 1988
We wish to convey our best wishes for 1988 to you all and we hope that 1988 will be a good sailing year for you. To our regret, we have not been able to send this newsletter sooner, due to our busy schedule, but we trust that you will understand this.
Wintermeeting 5 March 1988
As the wintermeeting at Roeivereniging De Amstel was very much appreciated by its participants, the administration would have liked to hold the wintermeeting of 1988 there again. However, on January 17, we were informed that the restaurant is to be closed down. An acquaintance of Mr. J. Kreb offered us the Vatel-lounge of the Apollohotel which we were happy to accept. The Hiswa-boatshow in the RAI in Amsterdam will be held from March 4 till 13; therefore the wintermeeting on March 5 can be very well combined with a visit to the RAI.
We hope that everyone will come; not only the shipowners but their crews as well. Last year we had a good start; however, it would be nice to increase the number of participants.
The exact address of the Apollohotel is:
Amsterdam Apollo Hotel
Apollolaan 2
Telephone: 020-735922
The Apollohotel can be reached from Central Station by taking tram nr. 25, "disembarking" at stop Lutmastraat, walking towards the Okura Hotel and then turning right (Van Hillegaertstraat); you will find the Apollohotel on your lefthand side, over the bridge (after approx. 100 meters).
Coming from the RAI you can reach the Apollohotel by walking through the Diepenbrockstraat, turning right into the Herman Heyermansweg. At the end you will turn left (Churchillaan) and then you will go right (Stadionweg) and find the Apollohotel on you righthand side. (See map enclosed.)
As we would like to know the number of people coming as early as possible, those members who have decided to participate are kindly requested to notify us before the 15th of February.
On March 5 you will be most welcome from 17.30 onwards. Before dinner, which will start at approximately 19.15, we have the opportunity to have a drink with each other; at 18.15 a palaver will be held – enclosed in this newsletter you will find the agenda. The costs of the dinner will be Dfl. 32.50 per person, drinks not included.
After dinner, it would be appreciated if members showed slides (dia's) or videotapes of their most recent trips. We trust that Will Valentijn will be so kind as to bring his dia-projector, and we would like to know for the videotapes to be shown, what videosystem was used and whether a video recorder could be provided.
The Apollohotel offers special "HISWA" rates for members who wish to spend the night at the hotel.
A two-bed room with bath will amount to Dfl. 195.-
A one-bed room with bath will amount to Dfl. 160.-
A copious Apollo breakfast (with buffet) will be Dfl. 25.- per person
These prices include VAT. If you would decide to make reservations, please mention "HISWA" to get the special "HISWA" rates.
Summerreunion 1988
In our memo of 12/09/87 we mentioned the possibility to register for the "William and Mary Cruise"; it was intended to make the Summerreunion 1988 coincide with this trip. As we inquired in December last year, we found, that very few members had applied. Hence the administration suggests to cancel the "William and Mary Cruise" as an official summerreunion and to consider the following alternatives:
a. a summerreunion in the surroundings of Hellevoetsluis from July 1 till 3.
b. a trip to the east coast of England
c. a reunion in the southern part of the Ijsselmeer
We would like to ask you to think this over and tell us about your ideas for the summerreunion before or during the palaver. If you cannot be present at the wintermeeting and you have suggestions for the summerreunion, you can always contact us at the correspondence address.
News About Ships & Owners
In October 1987, Mr. J.D. van't Hull moved from the Van Eeghenstraat to the Deurloostraat 35 II in Amsterdam; the entry on the list of ships and owners has been updated accordingly.
Last year we received a letter from Mr. May, the owner of "Merhonour." He told us that he had altered the ship by the addition of a "dog-house", that will make the ship more comfortable in wet and windy weather. He enclosed 3 fotos which will be for all to see at the wintermeeting.
We also received a letter from Mr. Jeff Cole, the owner of "Patty Sue". The "Patty Sue" had had a complete retrofit, facilitated by the Co. Valentijn, who was so kind as to send him line-drawings and construction details of his ship. Mr. Jeff Cole let us know that the members of the Alcyone Circle cruising to the south-east coast of the US will be most welcome at The Golden Isles Marina, just off the International Waterway at St. Simons Island.

Q: Sort structure array in alphabetical order I have a structure array (A[#]) named Sheep (since my task is about sheeps DNR). After I do whatever the task asked I am left with this struct :
struct Sheep
{
    string Vardas;
    char Fragmentas[CMax];
    int atitikme = 0;
};

and inside my it the data is:
(string Vardas) | (char Fragmentas[CMax]) | (int atitikme)
Baltukas   TAGCTT 3
Bailioji   ATGCAA 3
Smarkuolis AATGAA 1

(char Fragmentas[CMax] won't be using so u don't have to look at it, I only named it to make it clear).
ALL of this data comes from U2.txt file and cant be manually typed in a code.
All its left to do is to sort it by these rules:

*

*It goes from bigger to smaller by 'int atitikme'.

*IF 'int atitikme' is equal then it will have to sort by 'A[#].Vardas in a in alphabetical order.

To sort it by 'int atitikme' I created a code:
string q;
char w[20];
int e;
for (int o = 0; o < n-1; o++)
{
    for (int p = o+1; p < n-1; p++)
    {
        if (A[p].atitikme > A[o].atitikme)
        {
            // - Vardo Keitimas
            q = A[o].Vardas;
            A[o].Vardas = A[p].Vardas;
            A[p].Vardas = q;
            // - A[#].atitikme keitimas
            e = A[o].atitikme;
            A[o].atitikme = A[p].atitikme;
            A[p].atitikme = e;
            // - DNR farkmentu keitimas
            for (int r = 0; r < m; r++)
            {
                w[r] = A[o].Fragmentas[r];
                A[o].Fragmentas[r] = A[p].Fragmentas[r];
                A[p].Fragmentas[r] = w[r];
             }
        }
    }
}

n = 4 | m = 6
How/what do i need to add to this code to make it go:
else if (A[p].atitikme == A[o].atitikme)
{
    <code>
}

That if 'atitikme' is == to another 'atitikme' then A[p].Vardas and A[o].Vardas has to be sorted in an alphabetical order. but only those 2 from the whole array.
OR if its too hard to understand what I meant, could anyone post a code, in the answer box, were it would sort in a alphabetical order between 2 string's?
NOTE:
the whole line data

(string Vardas) (char Fragmentas[CMax]) (int atitikme)

has to stay the same, only the place in the line has to be diffirent and sorted by those rules I mentioned before.
The output should be:
Bailioji   3
Baltukas   3
Smarkuolis 1

EDIT:
My current output is:
Baltukas   3
Bailioji   3
Smarkuolis 1

P.s. The task allows to use everything as-long as its C++ and does not have to create, or read, any other file.

A: Here I have used std::vector<> instead of array to store the sheeps.
Secondly, using std::sort() and a lambda function, you can easily mention how you want to sort the elements in the std::vector<>/ Sheeps. That would be the easiest way to approach.
Here is the live code, in case of reviewing: https://www.ideone.com/ay7TWU
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

struct Sheep
{
   std::string Vardas;
   std::vector<char> Fragmentas;
   int atitikme;
};

int main()
{
  std::vector<Sheep> vec =
   {
      {"Baltukas",  {'T','A','G','C','T','T'}, 3},
      {"Bailioji",  {'A','T','G','C','A','A'}, 3},
      {"Smarkuolis",{'A','A','T','G','A','A'}, 1},
      {"Hmarkuolis",{'A','A','T','G','A','A'}, 1},
      {"Kmarkuolis",{'A','A','T','G','A','A'}, 2}
   };

   std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), [](const Sheep& lhs, const Sheep& rhs)
      {
         return (lhs.atitikme == rhs.atitikme) ?
            lhs.Vardas < rhs.Vardas: // if atitikme's of sheeps are equal
            lhs.atitikme > rhs.atitikme; // if atitikme's of sheeps are not equal
      });

    for (const auto& it: vec)
        std::cout << it.Vardas << " " << it.atitikme << "\n";

    return 0;
}

The output:
Bailioji 3
Baltukas 3
Kmarkuolis 2
Hmarkuolis 1
Smarkuolis 1

A: The best is to solve your problem one by one.
First - define the sorting order - see doc about - e.g. in std::less
So, you need functor class that defines your sorting order:
class SheepOrder
{
public:
    bool operator() ( const Sheep& left, const Sheep& right) const
    {
        // It goes from bigger to smaller by 'int atitikme'.
        if (left.atitikme > right.atitikme)
             return true;
        if (left.atitikme < right.atitikme)
             return false;

        //IF 'int atitikme' is equal then it will have to sort it in a in alphabetical order.
        // I guess you meant Vardas
        return left.Vardas < right.Vardas;
    }
};

Now, having defined the order  - just use std::sort - it can be used with arrays - no problem:
Sheep sheeps[100];
// ..
std::sort(std::begin(sheeps), std::end(sheeps), SheepOrder{});

or:
void sortSheeps(Sheep* array, std::size_t numOFSheeps)
{
    std::sort(array, array + numOfSheeps, SheepOrder{});
}

You can also use std::tuple to make it easier to define sorting order (tuple has operator < by default if their elements have this operator too):
class SheepOrder
{
public:
    bool operator() ( const Sheep& left, const Sheep& right) const
    {
        return tieMembersForSorting(left) < tieMembersForSorting(right);
    }
private:
    static auto tieMembersForSorting( const Sheep& object)
    {
        return std::make_tuple(-object.atitikme, // - to revert order
                               std::ref(object.Vardas)); // ref - to not make copy of string
    }
};

With tieMembersForSorting defined as free function - lambda could be used as well (as it will be just one liner):
    inline auto tieMembersForSorting( const Sheep& object)
    {
        return std::make_tuple(-object.atitikme, // - to revert order
                               std::ref(object.Vardas)); // ref - to not make copy of string
    }

    std::sort(begin(...), end(...), [](Sheep const& left, Sheep const& right)
              { return tieMembersForSorting(left) < tieMembersForSorting(right); });

A: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/sort shows you how to use std::sort.
You write a function bool less_than(const Sheep& a, const Sheep& b) that represents the order of two sheep and then simply call std::sort(container.begin(), container.end(), less_than);, with container being something like a vector of Sheep.
Edit: The function written out:
bool less_than(const Sheep& a, const Sheep& b)
{
    if(a.atitikme != b.atitikme) return a.atitikme < b.atitikme;
    return a.Vardas < b.Vardas;
}

A joint research initiative of VCS Ltd.
This the first large scale clinical trial internationally to assess these screening tests in an HPV vaccinated population.
Primary HPV DNA testing has been reviewed and endorsed as a primary cervical screening method by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. A number of large scale randomised controlled trials of primary HPV DNA screening have found that HPV screening is more sensitive in detecting precancerous lesions than cytology-based screening and that it can safely be conducted at a longer interval (see fig 1). However to date there have been no specific trials that support primary HPV DNA testing for cervical screening in the Australian context.

Didn't make it to Comic Con this weekend?
The first trailer for the next installment of the "Hunger Games" trilogy appeared online, <a href="" target="_blank">without the wait in line IRL.
Not only is Katniss Everdeen seen apparently arriving in District 13, Plutarch and Gale make appearances as well as Julianne Moore as president Coin and "Game of Thrones" star Natalie Dormer as Cressida.
The film hits theaters Nov. 21.


This is a sponsored post by göt2b, but as always all opinions are my own. Thank you for continuing to support the brands that keep this blog up and running.
I göt2b honest here (see what I did there?) but seriously, hair styles and hair trends have changed so much lately and that is good thing. Because we have so many options for everyone's style.
And one of the biggest trends that have stayed for years now is the messy hair style, the undone hair, the messy waves so on and so forth.
These are options we have at salons, so why not take those trends and do them at home, you safe time and money.
I mean who wants perfect, right? perfect is boring and when you go to bed and wake up in the morning your hair will probably be messy, so why not achieve that look to begin with. Having that " I woke up like this look " every day is a good feeling and a good hair makes us feel happy like we can take on the world.
And to get that look all you need are the perfect products and the göt2b Mess-merizing collection those all of that 'cause you göt2 standout, ooops I did it again.
Sometimes, I like to let my hair air-dry but I have wavy and frizzy hair, which is a weird combo to manage and control.
And when I want that look use these 3 products, first a spray The Sculpting Spritz and let my hair dry. Once my hair is dry I use the Messyfying Putty to give my hair definition and last I spray the Texturing Hairspray to scrunch the hair and give it so hold and voila just like that I have an Artsy Mess Hair Style with göt2b products.
But get me wrong ladies, every so often I love to use a curling iron to get more wave definition, but with summer around the corner the less heat you put hair through the better.
I just love how my hair turns out and I've also noticed that this messy hair look lasts longer than when I get a straight blow out or straighten my hair, so win win all around.
Check out this göt2b Mess-merizing collection to claim a coupon and shop it here. So have fun, try something new, take a risk and get artsy, it's only hair after all.
Hope you enjoyed this post and how to style An Artsy Mess Hair Style with göt2b.


Nothing sends chills through the spine of a student in driver's education like parallel parking. Thanks in part to Hollywood, this form of parking has become notorious for being difficult. But what if it isn't as difficult as you might think? With some patience and practice, parallel parking can be mastered by remembering these five simple steps to doing it right.
The first step to parallel parking can really impact how difficult the parking job will be, so pick carefully. Choose a spot to park your car that has enough space to fit your vehicle. While this might sound like an obvious consideration, many people struggle with parallel parking because they pick a space that is too small.
As you pull up to a spot, notice how much room you will have in front and behind your car once parked. There needs to be a comfortable amount for you to back into the spot and straighten out, but also enough room for the cars around you to pull out easily. If you aren't sure the spot is big enough, it is usually better to just pass and go find a different parking space.
Parallel parking isn't done by pulling in with the front of your car first. You must pass the spot and back into it to do it successfully. Let the drivers around you know that you intend to park there by turning on your blinker. Pull up next to the car you will be parking behind and line up your back bumper with their back bumper. This puts you in the prime position for parallel parking.
Slowly begin to back up into the spot, aiming toward the back-right corner of the parking spot with your bumper. Turn and watch over your shoulder, but also utilize your rear-view mirrors to get a clear picture of your surroundings. Once you are lined up with the bumper of the car in front of you, you are in the spot and ready for step four.
Once you are in the spot, straighten out the tires by centering the wheel. This will help you finish pulling all the way in without hitting the cars around you.
Do your best to center your vehicle between the front and rear cars. Again, you want to make sure that both drivers will have enough space to pull out without hitting your vehicle. Once you are centered, you can put the car in park.
After completing these five steps, you have successfully parallel parked your vehicle. You may safely exit your car and go about your business. This may all seem like a lot to remember at first, but after a few practice parking jobs, you will start to feel more comfortable doing it.
When just starting out, it might be best to do some practice parking between two orange cones that give you a generous amount of space between them. Move them closer together as you get better at parking between them. This will help build your confidence and help you stay calm during your driving test.


The house is all decorated, and there's cinnamon, apples, and cloves in the air. It must be Halloween, the best of all the holidays. I'll be giving out candy to the neighborhood kids tonight. I've even already had a few trick-or-treaters. No tricks at my house tonight!
Larry is a little dramatic.
Larry the Pumpkin and I wish you a happy and safe Halloween!

The thing about tab bar icons is that iOS does not care what color the pixels are. The only thing that is considered when rendering a tab bar icon is the pixels' transparency (or alpha value or opacity). It does not matter if a given pixel is white, red, black or mauve. If the pixel is solid, non-transparent it will be rendered as solid white (yes, even if the pixel is black). (Well, gray actually, but we'll call it white). If the pixel is completely transparent it will be rendered as black. And if the pixel is somewhere in between transparent and solid it will be rendered as gray. 50% transparent corresponds to 50% gray. 10% transparent (90% opaque) is 90% white.
When the tab is selected, the icon is rendered as blue (a blue gradient, actually) instead of white.
The size is fixed at 30 x 30 pixels. And thus 60 x 60 pixels for the Retina version.
So how to make icons like that? By following this simple tutorial.
The tutorial assumes that you are using Photoshop and are fairly familiar with working with layers and stuff.
1. Create a new Photoshop document. 60 x 60 pixels, RGB mode with transparent background. This is for the Retina resolution image.
2. Select all and fill with solid white color.
4. Show the Channels list, select the mask channel and hide all other channels.
The mask channel is where all drawing will take place!
Give it the same name but without the "@2x" (i.e. "tab_image.png" if using the filename above).
This tutorial is awesome. Only took me a few minutes to make my icon following your instructions. Thanks!
thanks for tut, solved my problem. But what an annoyance. typical annoyance from apple.
The "pixel perfect" problem is why I like to start with the "low res" image first and make THAT perfect. Make it perfect in 30×30, and when you blow it up it will be perfect at 60×60 already!
this is a great tutorial, but i cannot figure out how to make gradients appear like yours (you have varying shades of gray). mine just come out solid white when i fill the path in photoshop, even though i reduce the opacity to 50% in illustrator.
Easiest Photoshop experience I've ever had. Nice work!
This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you! I do have one "quick" question though. The first two times i did this, I pasted an image path (copied from my illustrator file) into the photoshop file, then filled it in. The first two icons turned out perfectly (no pixelation, very smooth lines), but the last two times I have tried- about a week later – I can't get the same effect. The final tab bar images are turning out quite pixelated on the iphone…. and I can't figure out what i'm doing differently. Any suggestions? Thank you again. This is a wonderful and easy to follow tutorial!
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I was trying to remember how I made the icons the last time and apparently it changed (pre retina displays).

Q: Unique Variable Constraint in Gurobi I am using Gurobi in Jupyter notebook with 9 variables. I want to add constraints so that each variable has a unique value. How do I code this in Gurobi Linear programming solver?
m.addConstr(i1 - i2 + y*a >= 1)

Based on my online research, the above is what I am currently trying to enforce but it is not working.

A: To be a bit more constructive, this is called an all-different constraint. This is part of many Constraint Programming (CP) solvers. Implementing this constraint in a Mixed-Integer Programming model is not totally trivial or cheap. For some formulations see for instance: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/ijoc.13.2.96.10515.

Boston er et amerikansk rockband der har taget navn efter byen Boston. De er bl.a. kendt for numre som "More Than a Feeling", "Peace of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Don't Look Back" og "Amanda".

Boston udgav deres debutalbum Boston i 1976. Albummet blev en gigantisk succes med ca. 17 mio. solgte eksemplarer og blev det på den tid mest solgte debutalbum.

Opfølgeren Don't Look Back blev udsendt i 1978 og solgte ca. 7 millioner eksemplarer. Titelsangen blev et top 5 hit, og to andre singler opnåede top-50 placeringer i USA.

Efter udgivelsen af Don't Look Back i 1978 blev bandets medlemmer involveret i forskellige projekter. Pladeselskabet CBS indledte en langvarig retssag mod bandet med påstand om, at bandet havde misligholdt pladekontrakten.

Der gik herefter otte år før bandet udgav det tredje album Third Stage, der blev nr. 1 i USA tillige med singlen "Amanda", der var hentet fra albummet.

Boston har siden skiftet en del medlemmer og har udgivet yderligere en række album.

Bandmedlemmer
Boston blev stiftet helt tilbage i 1970, hvor leadguitaristen, keyboardspilleren, produceren og komponisten Tom Scholz lidt tilfældigt mødte sangeren Brad Delp. De skrev sammen en kontrakt med Epic Records, men der gik flere år, inden de udsendte noget, og der kom en lang række bandmedlemmer til siden.

Brad Delps selvmord
Bostons forsanger, Brad Delp, begik selvmord den 9. marts 2007. Det skete i hans hjem i byen Atkinsom i New Hampshire. Han døde af kulilte forgiftning, da han havde tændt to griller i sit badeværelse. Delp blev fundet af sin forlovede. Efter sigende var Delp i gang med at forberede en solo-turné.

Arnhem Land Holidays Guide
Located at the very tip of the Top End, Arnhem Land is a huge expanse of Aboriginal territory covering 94,000 sq km. Stretching from the Kakadu National Park all the way to the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria, it is only accessible to visitors in two spots - the Cobourg Peninsula in the west and the Gove Peninsula in the east.
The Cobourg Peninsula is almost completely covered by the 2,200 sq km of the Gurig National Park and is bordered by the Cobourg Marine Park. One of Australia's best fishing spots, the area is renowned for more than 250 species of reef fish and the iconic Barramundi. The marine park is also a haven for protected marine animals such as crocodiles, turtles, dolphins, dugongs and manta rays. The Gurig National Park is only accessible via a 220km chartered flight from Darwin or a 4WD restricted road from Jabiru in the Kakadu and permits from the Cobourg Peninsula Sanctuary and Marine Park Board are required to enter.
The Gove Peninsula is far more accessible and is renowned as a major area for bauxite mining however there are also a number of attractions. Scheduled flights are available from Darwin or the main seaside town of Nhulunbuy which is just minutes from the Nabalco mine. Nhulunbuy is a major Aboriginal art and crafts hub and also offers a range of activities and attractions including fantastic fishing, wetlands rich with native flora and fauna, scenic flights, sunset cruises, reef walking, scuba diving and snorkelling. You can also enjoy the unique opportunity to spend the day with the Yolngu family for a traditional Aboriginal cultural experience and take part in hunting, gathering, painting and cooking. Permits are required for visiting recreation areas or driving into Nhulunbuy.

The biennial event runs Sept. 13-15 and will look to explore how the television industry can make the most of its opportunities at home and abroad while also growing the right skills and fielding the right people for the job.
Other speakers currently include Andy Harries, chief executive of Left Bank Pictures; Andy Wilman, executive producer of The Grand Tour; Michelle Guthrie, MD of Australian pubcaster ABC; and Sharon White, chief executive of Ofcom.
UK pubcaster Channel 4 has commissioned FremantleMedia UK-owned prodco Boundless to produce the tentatively titled pilot The Payback.
The hour-long pilot will feature individuals who have borrowed or are owed money from their family and friends, and either want to repair a relationship or their bank account balance.
The series will offer debtors the opportunity to shed guilt and do the right thing, resulting in reconciliations as people are finally, and sometimes unexpectedly, repaid.
Fiona Caldwell serves as executive producer on The Payback, which was commissioned by deputy head of features Alex Menzies.
Cross-media company and newsreel archive British Pathé has launched a new licensing service in the German-speaking world, thereby reclaiming the German rights to its newsreel collection.
British Pathé's content library consisting of more than 85,000 newsreels, documentaries and cinemagazines will now be made viewable and searchable online via British Pathé directly rather than through a third-party representative.
German customers can begin licensing from British Pathé immediately.
Heading the new label is long-time documentary filmmaker Simon Witter, who has been appointed as licensing executive for Germany and Eastern Europe. His film credits include Kraftwerk: Pop Art, Freddie Mercury Himself, London Calling and most recently London's Burning: Campino auf den Spuren des Punk.

Blog Series Part 1: Covid 19 – A Crucial Inspection by Nandini Sen and colleagues
19th May 2020 Rebecca Richards
The effects of Covid-19 have been considerable and far-reaching. In this four part blog series, Nandini Sen, Anusua Singh Roy, Jayanta Bhattacharya, and Subrata Shankar Bagchi explore the impacts of Covid-19 within an Indian context. The first piece outlines the methodology of their research, the second focuses on Covid-19's impact on India's informal economy, the third examines the relationship between the pandemic and gender-based violence, and the final piece takes a closer look at the mental health challenges postgraduate students face in this current climate.
During 1867-69, quarantine in the Suez Canal was quite stringent. For its obvious trade and economic interests, England maneuvered quarantine laws for cholera – a pandemic of the period. More than hundred years back, in the years of 1918-1919, colonialised India was shaken by a similar complex pandemic called the Spanish Flu. Upon witnessing so many deaths, Gandhi said at the time that he had lost his desire to live [1]. Currently the mystery virus comes in 2020.
Coronavirus outbreaks surge worldwide; research teams are racing to understand a crucial epidemiological puzzle — what proportion of infected people have mild or no symptoms and might be passing the virus on to others. Some of the first detailed estimates of these covert cases suggest that they could represent some 60% of all infections [2].
In the following series of blogs, we will contribute toward three relevant and related topics, including economic impact, gender-based violence (GBV), and the sociocultural including mental health impact on a community of postgraduate students due to this pandemic, focusing on evidences from India. In this section we discuss the methodology adopted in our analysis.
We have conducted a comprehensive desk review using grey (such as reports and documents from humanitarian agencies and news media) and academic sources. The process includes an extensive search of information including literature on economic impact, gender-based violence and socio-cultural including mental health related to the lockdown under pandemic circumstances. The search strategy uses broad search terms to include any relevant sources with reference to the contextual economic factors, GBV and socio-cultural including mental health conditions.
Secondary research that involves a narrative review [3] informs the statistical content of this study. The flexibility and exhaustive nature of narrative reviews [4] allows for exploratory analysis of the aforementioned metrics, in the absence of complete data. Literature search focusing on quantitative studies and reports has been conducted in order to collate statistics relating to the economic situation, gender-based violence, and socio-cultural and mental health outcomes as consequences of the Covid-19. This is supplemented by illustrative summaries and interpretations, elucidating known information, and underlining potential gaps for further work.

Nandini Sen is an anthropologist and has done her PhD at University of Frankfurt. She is a visiting research scholar at School of Social Sciences, Heriot Watt University. Her academic article Women and Gender in Rabindranath Tagore's Short Stories from Anthropological Perspectives Challenging Kinship and Marriage is published in Anthropological Journal of European Culture in November 2016. Her book, South Asian Urban Marginalisation: A Waste-Picker Community in Calcutta, India., Routledge/Taylor and Francis (2018) has fetched both fame and critical reviews by academic colleagues and academics.
Dr Anusua Singh Roy is a Postdoctoral research fellow, Statistician at the School of Health Sciences at Queen Margaret University. Research interests include the use of national data sets in longitudinal, cross-sectional and survival probabilistic modelling to address health related and participation outcomes in children with disabilities and individuals with severe mental illness.
Subrata Shankar Bagchi is the Chair Professor in Anthropology at University of Calcutta and researcher on various socio-cultural issues in India.
Jayanta Bhattacharya by training a physician, did his PhD on history of medicine. He has widely published in the field of alternative medicine. He is a medical activist from India. He is the reviewer of the Bulletin of the WHO, Graduate Journal of Social Science, Social History of Medicine, Indian Journal of History of Science, Indian Journal of Medical Ethics and others.

Global Health Emergencies (GHEs) are crises that affect health, and that are, or should be, of international concern. These might include infectious outbreaks, humanitarian crises and disasters, conflicts, and forced displacements. GHEs are characterised by various forms of urgency and uncertainty, and are known to exacerbate existing inequalities, injustices and vulnerabilities in individuals and communities.

1 BED FLAT (2ND FLR). NEEDS TRASH CLEARED.
1 bed tenement, small, requires trash cleared. All surfaces covered to a depth of ~2 feet. Some of it heavy (stacks of papers, glass bottles). 2nd floor (above ground floor) req. someone who is fit and active for the job (it's going to be a LOT of stairs!) There are public bins directly outside so a vehicle is not required. Tasker should also not be squeemish. There WILL be dead mice among the debris. No cleaning (mopping, ablutions, washing up etc.) Just trash removal. Should take 2 hours. Will happily pay for 3 (even if it takes 2, or less). No supplies on site. Suggest bringing a plastic box for items like bottles, heavy duty bin bags, good gloves and mask. I'll include a fee in my offer. More than one tasker is fine but the price will remain the same.
Outstanding. Friendly, professional, really hard working. Could not be more pleased!
I have moved in to a new house and I have so may boxes and cardboards from unpacking.I would like someone to come and remove them them for me please.
