On Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, join the CAF Airpower Museum for a celebration honoring those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The annual Memorial Day Ceremony and Open House begins 11 a.m. at the George H.W. and Barbara Bush Commemorative Center, 9612 Wright Drive in Midland.
In addition to the ceremony, the CAF's B‐17 "Flying Fortress" Sentimental Journey will be on display; a number of airplanes will be opened to allow visitors to sit in a vintage cockpit; face painting and other children's activities. The event is open to the public free of charge.
The annual Memorial Day Celebration includes the induction of eight men to the Texas Medal of Honor Memorial, a traditional flag ceremony, a presentation from the Permian Basin Honor Flight, and a flyover of vintage CAF aircraft. The ceremony will also feature remarks from Congressman Mike Conaway (R‐TX 11th District) and special guest speakers, Dr. Granville Coggs and Theodore Johnson, both original members of the famed Tuskegee Airmen.
Following the ceremony, the CAF's B‐17 Sentimental Journey will be available for cockpit tours and rides (additional charge). The B‐17 is best‐known for its strategic bombing role in Europe during World War II. More than 12,700 B‐17s were built during the War. There are fewer than a dozen still flying on a regular basis.
The CAF Airpower Museum will be open free of charge on Memorial Day, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Other activities, located in the Museum's main hangar include a visit from "Curious George," made possible by Basin PBS; face painting with Greenie the Clown; Harlan the Balloon Guy; and screenings of World War II‐era cartoons beginning at 1 p.m.
Lunch will be available for purchase starting at 12:15 p.m., served by volunteers from the CAF's High Sky Wing. At 1 p.m., Dr. Coggs and Mr. Johnson will talk about their experiences during World War II as members of the Tuskegee Airmen. The "Red Tails" often fought on two fronts, one against the enemy and the other as they struggled against discrimination and segregation within the U.S. Army Air Corps.
The George H.W. and Barbara Bush Commemorative Center is home to the state's largest Medal of Honor memorial. The Texas Medal of Honor Memorial recognizes the valor of Texans who earned the highest military decoration awarded by the United States for service and bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Each year, eight Texas Medal of Honor recipients are added to the memorial.
This year the following men will be inducted into the Texas Medal of Honor Memorial: Franklin M. McDonald, Pompey Factor (Indian War); Silvestre Santana Herrera, Samuel David Dealey, James E. Robinson, Jr. (World War II); John Edward Kilmer (Korean War); Thomas Elbert Creek and Miguel Keith (Vietnam War).
The Memorial Day Ceremony and Open House is made possible through the generous financial support of the Yarborough Foundation. Volunteer support for the event is provided by the CAF's High Sky Wing and Desert Squadron, The Permian Basin Honor Flight and the Midland Junior ROTC program.
The above information has been provided by the CAF Airpower Museum and distributed by the Midland Convention & Visitors Bureau. The mission of the Midland Convention & Visitors Bureau is to encourage economic growth by developing, promoting, enhancing and supporting Midland as a vibrant visitor destination.


We got snowed in, it's a modern day apocalypse in Washington when it's 30 degrees and we got 3" of snow.
You don't go to work cause of 3 inches of snow?
Not with a 50 mile commute, I got the call btw, I didn't call out. They're suspending certain services for the day. It's colder up in Vancouver and your infrastructure is more equipped to handle this stuff, down here it's such an infrequent occurrence everything falls apart when it happens.
If you live in a place where snow never happens, everyone goes full-retard when there's white on the ground. It snowed in Corpus Christi about 15 years ago and everyone lost their goddamned minds. Car wrecks everywhere.
Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Full retard. Like, think you levels of retard. And put that on the road.
It took me two hours to get from Puyallup to Tukwila today.
Edit: I get to go home at noon. Tomorrow is going to be even worse because all of this is going to freeze solid.
Oh you work at the Renton plant? Yeah, it's been a pretty fucked day.
Boeing Field. It's looking like I-5 is the best route and then take the river valley highway back home I'm not looking forward to the drive home. 167 was stop and go from Sumner to Kent.
My gf's dad is a flight-line manager up in Everett, he actually went in today coming from Kent which is insane.
I can't wait until I move out to Port Orchard. Taking the ferry everyday is going to be such a better commute.
I lived there for 7 years before the divorce. The Kitsap peninsula is pretty nice and still close to the city.
I've never been a fan of the area, I used to bone this girl who lived in Olalla and for me it's just too remote.


Tenikwa specializes in the rehabilitation and conservation of indigenous South African wildcats. This wildlife sanctuary exists foremost to mend injured creatures (not only wildcats) and reintroduce them back into the wild wherever possible.
And for your viewing pleasure, here are some other animals found at Tenikwa.What an amazing place!
They are also poor climbers and their stocky legs and short tails are one of the reasons they tend to avoid climbing trees. Small spotted cats are endemic to southern Africa but found mainly in South Africa, Namibia and some in Zimbabwe.

Iguazio's services assist companies in building training datasets for developing a neural network that can be immediately deployed for production.
After the acquisition, McKinsey plans to incorporate Iguazio's services into its QuantumBlack professional service unit.
McKinsey and amp; Co., a management consulting firm, announced the acquisition of Iguazio Ltd., a startup offering a platform for automating Artificial Intelligence (AI) development projects.
The financial terms of the deal are not disclosed. Iguazio reportedly amassed USD 72 million from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and other investors.
McKinsey is one of the largest management consulting companies, with more than 30,000 employees across 60 countries. The privately held company is said to garner annual revenue of more than ten billion dollars.
Iguazio, a Tel Aviv-based startup platform, sells software services to help companies build AI models more automatedly. Robert Bosch GmbH, NetApp Inc., and other huge enterprises are among the prominent customers of the company.
Ben Ellencweig, the Senior Partner of McKinsey, said, "After analyzing more than 1,000 AI companies worldwide, Iguazio was identified as the best fit to help us significantly accelerate our AI offering – from the initial concept to production, in a simplified, scalable and automated manner."
Iguazio's platform assists companies in building training datasets used to develop a neural network that can be immediately deployed to production. The AI development process has traditionally been a function of considerable manual work. The platform strives to automate most of the manual tasks for software staff.
Generally, the AI applications don't evaluate the data ingested in its original form but simplify initially. A neural network that accepts product prices as input might round off the figure to the closest whole number before analysis. The streamlined data points obtained by this process are called features.
Every time an AI model receives new records, it should immediately turn them into features in real-time to prevent process strangling. However, attaining such real-time performance is practically challenging. Iguazio's platform offers features that can simplify entrepreneurial tasks, thereby improving the AI applications' performance.
Besides, the startup assures to address data drift, another crucial challenge the companies face. Data drift is a term used for a technical issue encountered by AI models when the data processed changes over time. A neural network trained to spot a technical glitch in specific industrial equipment may sometimes face data drift if it is remodeled for assessing error logs from different types of machines.
The accuracy of AI models often dwindles with the occurrences of such data drifts. Iguazio's platform voluntarily redirects the AI model to resolve accuracy issues after detecting any data drift. It also creates dashboards for software teams to monitor the reliability of neural network alterations with time.
Besides the software platform, Iguazio offers two open-source AI development tools. The MLRun tool automates the task of integrating AI software code into software containers. The startup also develops Nuclio, which eases the data processing used in AI projects.
After the acquisition, McKinsey plans to incorporate Iguazio's services into its QuantumBlack professional service unit. This integrated unit can help companies to build and instill AI models. QuantumBlack originated in 2015 after McKinsey acquired a London-based machine learning and analytics company with the same name.

Q: API Gateway - Custom Lambda Authorizer, Validate passed header value (username) exists in Cognito User pool group I'm trying to make a custom authorizer in API Gateway that uses a lambda function to check if the user's email (passed in their request) to us, is a valid email (being valid, I mean a user that we have in our Cognito user pool/group) and is in a specific Cognito user pool, and then the specific Cognito user group that they are in.
I see that there are two different types of Lambda Authorizers that I can make, either Token or Request, I sort of think either are valid uses for this?
Because in the end I need to be able to specify the header the client is going to send and check that key's value to see if the username passed is in Cogntio.
Example,
User tries to query endpoint petstore.com/getDogs
user passes header: username: test@gmail.com

API Gateway custom lambda auth checks the header username, gets the value test@gmail.com and then verifies that it does or doesn't exist in a specific Cognito user pool/group.

New York Debtor and Creditor Law 278
The reality is that transfers are often made for significantly less consideration than fair consideration because the transferor intends to frustrate creditors. In our original example, your buyer`s principal, who personally guaranteed the purchase and then transferred ownership for less than reasonable consideration, probably did so to discourage you from collecting debts against him personally. Maybe the son or daughter now "owns" that Rembrandt after paying mom or dad $50 for it. If the court concludes that there is a genuine intent to defraud, it awards the creditor`s fees. NYDCL §276-a. Depending on the amount of work the creditor`s lawyer has to do to track down the debtor and complete the fraudulent transfer, the creditor`s attorney`s fees can be substantial. However, if the court does not find that there is a genuine intent to defraud, no attorneys` fees will be awarded. This is a stark contrast between the U.S. and Canadian legal systems. The winner will not automatically receive attorneys` fees from the loser in U.S. courts, unless there is a contract or law that provides when attorneys` fees will be awarded, or in the rare cases where the conduct is so egregious that punitive damages are awarded.
The tip point: Make sure your contracts include a fee policy. According to NYDCL § 276, "any transfer and obligation entered into with real intent, contrary to the legally presumed intention to impede, delay or defraud current or future creditors, is fraudulent with respect to present and future creditors." If there is indeed an intention to defraud creditors as a result of the transfer, it is not necessary to prove that the transfer was used for less than adequate remuneration or that the transfer rendered the debtor insolvent. Obviously, however, these two elements will be indications of a real intention to deceive. Bill Billionaire was clearly not trying to stop Jane Smith from raising the $10,000 he owed her. On the other hand, when your buyer`s customer submitted this to Rembrandt, it was the only asset they had to pay the amount owed to you. The actual intention to defraud you is obvious at the time of the transfer and the impact of the transfer on the net assets of the principal. What about the part of NYDCL section 273 that requires the debtor to become insolvent as a result of the transfer? NYDCL § 271 states that "a person is insolvent if the current fair sale value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable liabilities for its existing debts when they become absolute and mature." This definition makes sense because if the person has assets that are greater than their debts, the debtor has assets from which the creditor can recover the amount owing. So if Bill Billionaire owes Jane Smith $10,000 and Bill Billionaire owes a family member a $500,000 property for $1, the billionaire still has about $100 billion in small change for which Jane Smith can collect the $10,000 he owes her. (1) If a transfer or obligation is fraudulent against a creditor, then when his claim has become due, that creditor may sue any person other than a buyer without knowledge of the fraud at the time of purchase or against any person who immediately obtained the ownership or intermediary of such a buyer, according to the NYDCL there is intentional fraud and also suspicion of fraud.
Transfers that are not intended for reasonable consideration are presumed to be fraudulent – it is not necessary to prove an intention to defraud the creditor – if the transfer is made for less than sufficient consideration. "Any transfer or obligation of a person which thereby becomes or becomes insolvent is fraudulent against creditors, irrespective of their real intention, if the transfer is made or if the obligation is entered into without adequate consideration." NYDCL § 273 NYDCL § 279 provides for the possibility that the fraudulent transfer took place before the creditor sent the invoice to the debtor. In this case, the person who received the fraudulent transfer may be prevented by the court from disposing of the property. The law provides that a creditor whose claim has not matured may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction against any person against whom it could have brought an action if its claim had become due, and the court may: However, you can still collect the debt under the New York State Debtor-Creditors Act (NYDCL). The NYDCL provides that a "fraudulent transfer" by the debtor may be effected by the creditor, meaning that the creditor "may ignore the transfer and involve or involve enforcement of the transferred assets." NYDCL § 278 (1) (a). In short, if the transfer is significantly less than the market value, it is not made as fair consideration. Fair market value is usually an objective standard, whether for real property, durable property or intellectual property. If property valued at $500,000 is securitized to a family member for $1, or if a truck valued at $30,000 is sold for $1,000, the transaction is not fair. (b) in accordance with the second paragraph of subsection (a) of section two hundred and seventy-three or paragraph (a) of article two hundred and seventy-four of this article, not later than four years after the transfer or the occurrence of the obligation; or. 2.
A buyer who, without real intent, has provided only reasonable consideration for the transfer or obligation may retain the title or obligation as a guarantee of repayment. b. Skip the transfer and enter or apply execution to the transferred asset. The diversity of judicial opinion formation in competing federal and state jurisdictions can sometimes lead to different "paths," and the Fraudulent Transfers Act, codified in the New York Debtors and Creditors Act (DCL), provides a striking example of these reciprocal judicial currents. This article focuses on the state of the law under the former DCL. (a) in accordance with section two hundred and seventy-three paragraph one of subsection (a) of this section, not later than four years after the transfer or occurrence of the obligation or, if later, not later than one year after the transfer or undertaking was discovered by the applicant or could reasonably have been discovered; Has this ever happened to you? You sell a product to a company in upstate New York whose customer personally guarantees payment.

Author to Guiliani: Take the anti-NAU pledge
WEBWIRE – Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Los Angeles, CA (August 28, 2007) -- Bill Clinton aide Paul Begala was quoted as saying, "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool." What he was referring to, of course, is the power that the president has to single-handedly and without congressional oversight create laws that all of us must obey…whether we believe the outcome is "cool" or not.
That phrase also sums up why the United States presidency is the world's most powerful position-- and why the person voted into office must be committed to preserving American values and sovereignty. According to Dr. Jerome Corsi, author of the New York Times bestseller "The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada" (WND Books, ISBNs 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007) today's candidates are as woefully deficient in their commitment to America's future as a free and unencumbered nation as George W. Bush has proven to be.
Case in point? The candidates' collective ignorance about the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the building of NAFTA super-highways on land seized from American citizens via eminent domain, and Bush's headlong rush to legally entangle the United States in an unholy political alliance with Mexico and Canada, an EU-like North American Union designed to benefit his big business cronies and foreign interests -- no matter what the American people want.
Corsi is particularly dismayed by Rudy Guiliani's repeated claims of ignorance about the Trans-Texas Corridor, one of the planned NAFTA super-highways. Asserts Corsi, "As I show in 'The Late Great U.S.A', this road, designed specifically to let uninspected Mexican trucks carry equally uninspected Chinese goods from deep-water ports in Mexico all the way up to Canada is also a toll road, one which will be built and operated by a Spanish company called Cintra. How can Rudy Guiliani feign ignorance when his own law firm represents Cintra in all its American dealings?"
As for illegal immigration, which Corsi also discusses at length in the bestselling "Late Great U.S.A," well, "Guiliani's tough talk is belied by his record. When he worked for the Justice Department in the 1980's, Guiliani fully supported the disastrous Reagan amnesty that set the stage for what we're seeing today - upwards of 20 million illegal aliens living in our country who are sucking the life out of our communities, hospitals and schools." Guiliani even made a speech to the New York Bar Association in 1981 saying, "There is no choice but to legalize these people." Really?
"As the defeat of the government's latest amnesty scheme showed, the American people don't agree," says Jerry Corsi, "but whatever he might say to the contrary, Guiliani has shown himself to be an open-borders advocate, which makes him a dangerous choice for president." After all, putting American jobs up for grabs, while lowering wages and benefits to third-world levels in the process, is much of what the North American Union is all about, and Guiliani's law firm represents any number of multi-nationals set to benefit from the coming destruction of the American middle class.
To prevent just such an outcome, Corsi is challenging not only Rudy Guiliani but all of the presidential candidates to sign his anti-NAU pledge as follows:
Resolved by the (presidential candidate) that I will:
1. Dissolve the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
2. Not fund any North American Superhighways
3. Not create a North American Union
Concludes Corsi, "When you realize the awesome power the president wields, how with a stroke of a pen he or she can make any pet scheme the law of the land, it behooves all of us to demand that each and every candidate pledge allegiance to the United States as a free, independent and unencumbered nation. The ugly future I portray in 'The Late Great U.S.A' isn't inevitable. We can still stop Bush and his successors from selling us out for a mess of cheap TVs and illegal aliens…and we must."

PunkinSpice: Thanks for the advice. I am just DRIVING myself crazy waiting to hear back if the agency is even go to accept us as clients. It was so nerve wracking trying to answer questions on a piece of paper, without the chance to explain and discuss. I am almost looking forward to teh homestudy part(if we get that far), becuase at least we'll be talking to someone, instead of just trying to look "good" on paper. It is has been just over a week and I havent' heard a sound. My stomach aches with fears of a "no".

Thanks Rebecca. I really hope thay don't flat out deny us. We do have some "marks" against us, but we have been talking with the social worker for a year before taking this first step. She didn't mention to worrisome about any of our negative factors, just "to be honest" on the application.
So sorry about your m/c. May God bless you during this healing time.

Sponsored Horse Ride – Using art as a means of spreading awareness & positivity.
The riders involved are myself and two friends.
I have turned myself and my horse Jasper into an actual art project, by being body painted ( along with my horse) these pictures can be sent off to promote the project.
We are planning for local refugees from Brighton to meet us at our departure point at Beachy Head in Eastbourne to meet the horses, have horse and cart rides and give us a send off along with family, friends and local media.
The cart will be turned into a mobile propaganda cart displaying banners and flags of organisations involved ,throughout the whole duration of the week long ride! I will have a GoPro camera filming passers by reactions and conversations about our projects, requesting photos to be taken wherever possible by the public to be shared on social media to help spread awareness.
We will be camping out every night so not spending money on accommodation or livery.
Our finishing point is Winchester Water Meadows where we will camp up, rest and then get transported back to Brighton.


UNCTAD India programme is a unique initiative in history of UNCTAD through which a five-year project entitled "Strategies and Preparedness for Trade and Globalization in India" is being implemented.

The Dormani Yarns Studio will now be open by appointment.
Dormani Yarns cannot verify that the colours displayed in the shade cards are a true representation of the actual yarn colour. Depending upon the type of monitor each browser has will determine how the colours will be displayed. Only by seeing the yarn on the cone can a judgement be made. As most knitters will know it is not until the garment is knitted does the true colour and shade appears.

A backwashing system comes in 2 different sizes for smaller or larger homes.
In stages 3 through 5, water travels through a patented KDF redox media ERA-9500 and ERA-6500, and GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) tank. This is our standard whole house filter unit that is capable of removing hundreds of contaminants from water (if present).
Both tanks are automatically backwashed into a drain or outside. There are no harsh chemicals, the system is environmentally friendly!
With proper installation, system can remove up to 15 ppm of both ferric and ferrous Iron, 05 ppm of Hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), up to 10 ppm of manganese and produce clear , clean drinking water throughout the house! Make sure your pH is above 6.5 , if it is lower, you need to neutralize the pH before it passes through the system with an Acid Neutralizer System. If iron is above 6 ppm, we highly recommend Air Infusion version, which is installed on the Iron removel tank and uses additional component for higher iron levels.

Q: how to build an deep learning image processing server I am building am application to process user's photo on server. Basically, user upload a photo to the server and do some filtering processing using deep learning model. Once it's done filter, user can download the new photo. The filter program is based on the deep learning algorithm, using torch framework, it runs on python/lua. I currently run this filter code on my local ubuntu machine. Just wonder how to turn this into a web service. I have 0 server side knowledge, I did some research, maybe I should use flask or tornado, or other architecture?

A: I'd recommend using Django if you are comfortable with python and working with an AWS serviced database! It is pretty intuitive, and a lot of resources and examples are available on the web. For example, here is the file upload documentation.

A: It does make sense to look at the whole task and how it fits to your actual server, Nginx or Lighttpd or Apache since you are serving static content.  If you are going to call a library to create the static content, the integration of your library to your web framework would be simpler if you use Flask but it might be a fit for AWS S3 and Lambda services.
It may be worth it to roughly design the whole site and match your content to the tools at hand.

Arrived back in the UK at 7 am, feeling very tired: I'd intended to sleep most of the flight from Raleigh/Durham, but my luck was out: I was surrounded by three kids and their disorganized mother, and they were talking, shouting and moving around all night.

The News of the World reports today that when Manchester United manager retires (he's now 69) he plans to get into the wine trade in some capacity – either as an importer or even a vineyard owner.
After two weeks of non-stop work (a bit like having a real job – not sure I can cope with that!), today was a chance to relax. Blue skies (just a little haze), warmest temperatures of the year, and younger son, the only one at home at the moment, off for the day.

Astronomy's enduring quest is to go farther, fainter, and more detailed than ever before. Here's the edge of the cosmic frontier.
Astronomers have always sought to push back the viewable distance frontiers.
Although there are magnified, ultra-distant, very red and even infrared galaxies in the eXtreme Deep Field, there are galaxies that are even more distant out there than what we've discovered in our deepest-to-date views. These galaxies will always remain visible to us, but we will never see them as they are today: 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang. (NASA, ESA, R. BOUWENS AND G. ILLINGWORTH (UC, SANTA CRUZ))
More distant galaxies appear fainter, smaller, bluer, and less evolved overall.
Galaxies comparable to the present-day Milky Way are numerous, but younger galaxies that are Milky Way-like are inherently smaller, bluer, more chaotic, and richer in gas in general than the galaxies we see today. For the first galaxies of all, this ought to be taken to the extreme, and remains valid as far back as we've ever seen. The exceptions, when we encounter them, are both puzzling and rare. (NASA AND ESA)
Individual planets and stars are only known relatively nearby, as our tools cannot take us farther.
A massive cluster (left) magnified a distant star known as Icarus more than 2,000 times, making it visible from Earth (lower right) even though it is 9 billion light years away, far too distant to be seen individually with current telescopes. It was not visible in 2011 (upper right). The brightening leads us to believe that this was a blue supergiant star, formally named MACS J1149 Lensed Star 1. (NASA, ESA, AND P. KELLY (UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA))
As the 2010s end, here are our presently known most distant astronomical objects.
The ultra-distant supernova SN UDS10Wil, shown here, is the farthest type Ia supernova ever discovered, whose light arrives today from a position 17 billion light-years away. Type Ia supernovae are used as distance indicators because of their standard intrinsic brightnesses, and are some of our strongest evidence for the accelerated expansion best explained by dark energy. (NASA, ESA, A. RIESS (STSCI AND JHU), AND D. JONES AND S. RODNEY (JHU))
The farthest type Ia supernova, our most distant "standard candle" for probing the Universe, is SN UDS10Wil, located 17 billion light-years (Gly) away.
This illustration of superluminous supernova SN 1000+0216, the most distant supernova ever observed at a redshift of z=3.90, from when the Universe was just 1.6 billion years old, is the current record-holder for individual supernovae. Unlike SN UDS10Wil, this supernova is a Type II (core collapse) supernova, and may have formed via the pair instability mechanism, which would explain its extraordinarily large intrinsic brightness. (ADRIAN MALEC AND MARIE MARTIG (SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY))
The most distant supernova of all, 2012's superluminous SN 1000+0216, occurred 23 Gly away.
The most distant X-ray jet in the Universe, from quasar GB 1428, sends us light from when the Universe was a mere 1.25 billion years old: less than 10% its current age. This jet comes from electrons heating CMB photons, and is over 230,000 light-years in extent: approximately double the size of the Milky Way. (X-RAY: NASA/CXC/NRC/C.CHEUNG ET AL; OPTICAL: NASA/STSCI; RADIO: NSF/NRAO/VLA)
The most distant quasar jet, revealed by GB 1428+4217's X-rays, is 25.4 Gly distant.
This image of ULAS J1120+0641, a very distant quasar powered by a black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun, was created from images taken from surveys made by both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. The quasar appears as a faint red dot close to the centre. This quasar was the most distant one known from 2011 until 2017, and is seen as it was just 745 million years after the Big Bang. It is the most distant quasar with a visual image available to be viewed by the public. (ESO/UKIDSS/SDSS)
The first discovered object whose light exceeds 13 billion years in age, quasar ULAS J1120+0641, is 28.8 Gly away.
This artist's concept shows the most distant quasar and the most distant supermassive black hole powering it. At a redshift of 7.54, ULAS J1342+0928 corresponds to a distance of some 29.32 billion light-years; it is the most distant quasar/supermassive black hole ever discovered. Its light arrives at our eyes today, in the radio part of the spectrum, because it was emitted just 686 million years after the Big Bang. (ROBIN DIENEL/CARNEGIE INSTITUTION FOR SCIENCE)
However, quasar ULAS J1342+0928 is even farther at 29.32 Gly: our most distant black hole.
This illustration of the most distant gamma-ray burst ever detected, GRB 090423, is thought to be typical of most fast gamma-ray bursts. When one or two objects violently form a black hole, such as from a neutron star merger, a brief burst of gamma rays followed by an infrared afterglow (when we're lucky) allows us to learn more about these events. The gamma rays from this event lasted just 10 seconds, but Nial Tanvir and his team found an infrared afterglow using the UKIRT telescope just 20 minutes after the burst, allowing them to determine a redshift (z=8.2) and distance (29.96 billion light-years) to great precision. (ESO/A. ROQUETTE)
Gamma-ray bursts exceed even that; GRB 090423's verified light comes from 29.96 Gly away in the distant Universe, while GRB 090429B might've been even farther.
Here, candidate galaxy UDFj-39546284 appears very faint and red, and from the colors it displays, it has an inferred redshift of 10, giving it an age below 500 million years and a distance greater than 31 billion light-years. Without spectroscopic confirmation, however, this and similar galaxies cannot reliably be said to have a known distance; more data is needed, as photometric redshifts are notoriously unreliable. (NASA, ESA, G. ILLINGWORTH (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ), R. BOUWENS (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ, AND LEIDEN UNIVERSITY) AND THE HUDF09 TEAM)
Ultra-distant galaxy candidates abound, including SPT0615-JD, MACS0647-JD, and UDFj-39546284, all lacking spectroscopic confirmation.
The most distant galaxy ever discovered in the known Universe, GN-z11, has its light come to us from 13.4 billion years ago: when the Universe was only 3% its current age: 407 million years old. The distance from this galaxy to us, taking the expanding Universe into account, is an incredible 32.1 billion light-years. (NASA, ESA, AND G. BACON (STSCI))
The most distant galaxy of all is GN-z11, located 32.1 Gly away.
The James Webb Space Telescope vs. Hubble in size (main) and vs. an array of other telescopes (inset) in terms of wavelength and sensitivity. It should be able to see the truly first galaxies, even the ones that no other observatory can see. Its power is truly unprecedented. (NASA / JWST SCIENCE TEAM)
With the 2020s promising revolutionary new observatories, these records may all soon fall.
Our deepest galaxy surveys can reveal objects tens of billions of light years away, but there are more galaxies within the observable Universe we still have yet to reveal between the most distant galaxies and the cosmic microwave background, including the very first stars and galaxies of all. It is possible that the coming generation of telescopes will break all of our current distance records. (SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY (SDSS))

The Hague, Netherlands at the 2019 Temenos Community Forum (TCF) – April 3, 2019 – Temenos (SIX: TEMN), the banking software company, today announced that ABN Amro has selected Temenos Continuous Deployment, which utilizes DevOps principles and extends the Temenos DevOps operations into the bank's environments, to accelerate the bank's speed of software delivery and rapidly launch new competitive innovations to the market. With 22 innovation teams within the Investment and Corporate Banking division of ABN Amro using Temenos Continuous Deployment to support their agile development methodologies, the bank will be able to bring business change more rapidly and securely to market. Using Temenos Continuous Deployment, this repeatable process will be dramatically faster and more flexible and is expected to increase efficiency in early stage testing and deployment by more than 30%.Temenos Continuous Deployment is provided by Temenos as a Service (SaaS) while reducing cost of deployment.
Friso Westra, Head of IT Development Core Banking International at ABN Amro will be joining Max Chuard, CEO of Temenos on the opening plenary session at TCF to talk about using Continuous Deployment to accelerate innovation.
The banking group, one of the largest in the Netherlands and a longstanding customer of Temenos, is now taking advantage of the Temenos Continuous Deployment offering to enable developer teams to quickly and independently develop, test and deploy change including configuration and extension code in a safe, secure and reliable automated environment. ABN Amro will be able to provision a new environment to build and test its innovations in just hours. The number of deploy and test pipelines per day is expected to increase from 1 to 15 per day. The bank also envisages being able to increase test cycles by 100x, the increase in testing will result in higher quality, more frequent automated releases.
By enabling a 'code in the morning, deploy in the afternoon' approach, the time required to develop, test and release software changes is reduced from weeks to days or hours, enabling the bank to rapidly deploy change in a safe and controlled manner. Temenos Continuous Deployment offers a self-service environment where the project team can simply and quickly request on-demand the creation and provisioning of production-like environments based on the bank's configuration. It allows automated testing and deployment of software changes from both the bank, and from Temenos, in a regular and predictable way.
ABN Amro first implemented the Temenos T24 core banking platform – the forerunner to Temenos T24 Transact – for its corporate banking activities in 2009, Temenos Payments Hub in 2012 and Temenos WealthSuite for its international private banking business in 2015.
"Thanks to Temenos' innovative continuous-deployment product, we can gain greater product agility and improved time-to-value, accelerating the speed of innovation and making business changes rapidly. Temenos Continuous Deployment is to provide high levels of automation to support our agile development approach. Continuous Deployment will allow our developers to focus more time on the value of their deliverables spending less time coordinating testing and deployment with other teams."
"I'm delighted that ABN Amro, a long standing customer, has now selected our Temenos Continuous Deployment SaaS product, as the bank is leading with DevOps tools and methodologies to accelerate its speed of software delivery and business innovation. We are entering a new era of banking where cloud-native, cloud-agnostic and advanced open API technologies are enabling the bank to dramatically reduce deployment time and as result massively cut down costs."
Temenos is also launching a dedicated Deployment Centre of Excellence drawing on best practices from over 1000 go-lives and utilizing new tools, agile processes and methodologies to dramatically reduce the cost of deployment. This Centre of Excellence will help banks to industrialize the banking software deployments, with lower costs and faster time to market. Temenos has also launched a new implementation approach, Build and Renovate, that enables the larger banks to quickly build a new, fully digital stack, and to begin continuously migrating products and customers across from their legacy stack.
Temenos recently marked a major milestone with the launch of Temenos Infinity – a breakthrough digital front office product – and Temenos T24 Transact, the next generation in core banking. These new products further demonstrate a commitment to constant innovation, leveraging 25 years of functionality from 3,000 banks in more than 150 countries with the most advanced cloud-native, cloud-agnostic, API-first technology and design-led thinking.

Wow, what a week. I'm still recovering from a mind-blowing experience at the Tin House Summer Writer's Workshop. From the incredible faculty (Jonathan Dee, Rachel Kushner, Jess Walter, Sharon Olds, Jericho Brown) to the diverse community of talented writers, I'm at a loss for how to fully express my gratitude for this amazing workshop.
Set on the Harry Potter campus of Reed College in Portland, Oregon, the Tin House Summer Writer's Workshop is essentially a super cool summer camp for writers serious about craft and the greater conversation of contemporary literature across disciplines. Seven days of manuscript critiques in small workshop groups assigned by genre (novel, short fiction, poetry, non-fiction), faculty craft talks and lectures, nightly readings in a gorgeous natural amphitheater on the river, and… karaoke?
It's kind of a strange social experiment to bring together over two-hundred writers from across the country and force them to interact like, say, "normal" people. Writers by nature are often not the most social animals, spending most of their time lost in imaginary worlds. So, sure it was awkward at first. But the initial first-day-at-school jitters quickly gave way to a feeling of camaraderie, thanks in part to a steady flow of alcohol at the many happy hours hosted after class. What impressed me most was how the Tin House staff created such an inclusive and collegial atmosphere. It felt like we were all peers, grateful for the experience, grateful for this unique moment in time where we were free to talk about the craft of writing and share our art with each other.
It was an honor to be included in the 2016 class of Tin House Summer Workshop writers. Thank you, Tin House!

Is Hawkeye LB trio a lock for next level?
Rick Brown / HawkCentral
James Morris has been awarded more than $30,000 in postgraduate scholarships.
"Hopefully, I won't need them for a while," Morris said.
The Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient, academic all-American, political science major and former Iowa linebacker would rather be in an NFL jersey than sitting in a classroom this fall.
And in some ways, the continuing education on the football field might be more taxing. The student-athlete tag he lived with for four years as a Hawkeye has been cut in half. Football, the means to an education, is now a potential profession.
"I guess there's a little more riding on it," said Morris, who became the sixth player in Iowa history to record 400 career tackles. "Because if you're not cutting it on the field, you're going to be looking for work. That component is reality, and I don't think you can hide from it. But I don't think it's going to change my approach. I'm just going to try and do the same things I've always done — show up, be a good person and give it my all. I hope that is good enough. And if it's not, there's really not much else I can do."
Morris, Anthony Hitchens and Christian Kirksey are all in the same place in their careers. Iowa's highly successful senior linebacking trio is trying to make the transition to the NFL. The draft starts Thursday and ends Saturday.
"They've really positioned themselves to be attractive to NFL teams," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "They're all going to get opportunities. And what they do with that opportunity is what it's all about. I'd really be surprised if the three of them don't have nice careers. They're really good football players, they're great guys and good leaders."
With 19, Iowa has had more players drafted than any Big Ten school since 2010. The list includes first-rounders Bryan Bulaga (2010), Adrian Clayborn (2011) and Reilly Reiff (2012).
This year's class is missing first-round attention. But Ferentz's pro-style approach to the game has made plenty of his former players successful in the NFL.
Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz is expected to be the first Hawkeye selected. Most projections have him going in the third or fourth rounds.
"In the years to come, he's going to have a really good career in the NFL," Ferentz said.
Kirksey is projected by most draft analysis websites to go in the fourth round.
"I've always wanted to be in this position, to be drafted," Kirksey said.
Morris has been projected to go in the sixth or seventh rounds. Hitchens is seen as a late-round pick or a free agent.
"I'm just blessed to be in this position, to have a chance to go to the next level," Hitchens said.
Offensive linemen Brett Van Sloten and Conor Boffeli, defensive back B.J. Lowery and placekicker Mike Meyer are among the Hawkeyes expected to be in the free-agent pool.
All three linebackers had more than 100 tackles as seniors, the first time in program history that has happened. All three continue to train under strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle; all three will leave Iowa City with their degrees. Graduation is May 17.
"Right now we're training, but we're not on a football team," Kirksey said. "Just waiting to see what happens. It will be an emotional day. I'm just going to cherish every moment of it."
Hitchens said the pre-draft workouts under Doyle have changed little from his days as a Hawkeye.
"We run an NFL program here, so everything is pretty much the same," Hitchens said. "Maybe a little more intensity, maybe one or two more reps."
Like his teammates, Hitchens heads into this draft with a sense of anticipation about his football future.
"It's a bigger transition from high school to college than it will be from college to professional," Hitchens said. "That's what I've been hearing from a lot of players. It's just getting back to technique and basic football."
Until their careers take them in different directions, Morris, Kirksey and Hitchens provide motivation for each other in Doyle's weight room.
"We're always going to be best friends," Kirksey said. "They say that when you come to college, you meet your best friends for life. We keep trying to push each other, like we were playing for Iowa for another season. We're trying to push each other to the next level."

A comprehensive guide on choosing a motherboard for Ryzen 2019
Blaise | October 6, 2019 October 6, 2019 | Guides, Hardware
If you are switching to a new Ryzen processor or, it is your first time buying an AMD Ryzen processor then, it is crucial for you to pick up the compatible motherboard for your CPU and needs. In this guide, we will learn about the AM4 motherboards in detail to help you narrow down your choices.
Choosing an appropriate AMD motherboard is vital to your PC building journey, and it allows you to unlock a number of potential features to improve the functionality of your PC. For instance, the x470 and x570 models are becoming a popular choice among its target audience, and they are stressing their fellow gamers to upgrade their Ryzen motherboard to achieve optimal outcomes.
Should you buy an x470 model or x570 model motherboard? Well, there are plenty of options to choose from; for instance, B450, B350, A320, and so on. Additionally, we will look into the capacity of an AM4 chipset and break it down to help you with choosing a motherboard effectively.
What is a motherboard?
An AM4 motherboard helps with creating central communication centers on your PC. Choosing a Ryzen motherboard could make or break the quality of your PC build, so you should be familiar with your options that are available on the market. If you select a low-price or secondhand motherboard then, it might present you with a limited set of options to experiment with.
On the contrary, if you invest in a good-quality motherboard that is equipped with AM4 chipset then, you can explore a wide variety of features and benefits in the long run. While a motherboard may not directly influence your gaming experience, it may have an effect on your system's long-term reliability and future upgradability.
Factors to consider when buying a motherboard for Ryzen:
Finding the best Ryzen motherboard could be a chore; however, if you are dedicated to differentiating the pros and cons offered by each type of AM4 motherboard on the market, it would surely churn favorable outcomes for you. One cannot simply be impressed by the price point or affordability of the processor and call it a day. Instead, you are expected to weigh a few of its factors to your needs and vice versa. We have assembled a list of factors that should be considered when looking for a motherboard for Ryzen:
Size of the motherboard:
AM4 motherboards are definitely nothing like "one size that fits all," so there are various size options for the motherboard. For starters, ATX is common among many PC builders, and it is effective for slots and plugs. On the contrary, micro-ATX is relatively shorter than its counterpart by 2.4 inches, which doesn't necessarily accommodate expansion slots. Also, a mini-ITX is suitable for tiny PC but, it features less capacity of connectors and cards.
Ports types:
Ports are integrated into the I/O area of the motherboard, and it generally features the external connection options for PC builders. Also, if your motherboard features USB headers then, it will allow you to add additional ports for enabling a stable front-panel connection with your PC.
AMD X470 Chipset:
The star of the show, the AMD X470 chipset, is known for its world-class features, and it is further equipped with AMD StoreMI storage technology to satiate the needs of the user. The chipset is ideal for overclockers, and it offers low-level control and improved storage acceleration technology to its users. It is also equipped to use dual graphic card configurations, as a result of being integrated with 3.0 graphic card slots.
The AMD x570 is first of its kind to offer an incredible range of PCIe 4 support, in combination with outstanding control and features that are suitable for most graphics bandwidth and storage. It features PCIe slots that help with low-level control and dual card configuration.
RAM slots:
Most of the new motherboards offer dual-channel support for more bandwidth; most regular-sized motherboards feature up to four slots; whereas, the mini versions are likely to have up to two slots.
Finding a readymade motherboard is bliss for most people, and it saves them from the hassle of purchasing additional gear for their motherboard. However, if you are customizing your own motherboard then, you can upgrade the features by integrating onboard audio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi to it.
Third-generation Ryzen Processors:
The Ryzen 2000/3000 series for AM4 chipset features a versatile CPU range, which is definitely the core characteristic of the processors. We can expect the 3rd gen Ryzen motherboard to churn out ultimate performance, such as improved speed, versatility, and increased storage. The processors are built with the 7nm "Zen 2" lithography for enabling high performance to the surprise of its hardcore fans.
Features to consider when buying x470:
If you are a high-end or mid-range gamer then, you should accommodate your PC building needs by investing in x470. The AM4 chipset is relatively affordable and inexpensive in comparison to its counterpart, and it has the following pros that one might consider when buying motherboards for their PC building hobbies:
1. Cheaper than its counterpart
X470 and x570 are enlisted in the Ryzen 3000 series are frontrunners; however, not many people have access or means to buy x570, without breaking the bank. The features and performance of the x470 motherboard are raved by PC building and gaming enthusiasts; therefore, most people are likely to buy the x470 motherboard due to its affordability and accessibility. X470 features an incredible range of multi-GPU support and adequate VRM to help gamers with their overclocking needs.
2. Wide assortment of ports and connectors
Choosing a motherboard for Ryzen isn't a "one size that fits all" for sure, and you have to dig further to make the right choice that wouldn't only justify your gaming and PC building needs but, also complies with affordable t mid-range options. However, with the price that you are paying for the processor, you should expect it to feature a wide assortment of ports, connectors, and premium-quality components, in comparison to the B450 boards. Additionally, the motherboard comprises of USB ports, SATA slots, and fan headers to help you facilitate your needs. In other words, the x470 is comparatively superior to the B450, and it would certainly give you a run for your money.
The x470 is undeniably a popular option among many of its fans: however, the premium users of x570 may overlook its unique characteristics. There are two sides to every product, and here are the cons to the x570 processor.
1. Cheaper options on the market
As mentioned previously, the x470 boards are marketed towards users that are dwindling between the price ranges of the processor. It is no wonder that most people would prefer to buy the x470 due to its incomparable affordability and reliability; however, most people on a budget would certainly prefer to buy the B450 motherboard to spend more money towards better CPUs.
2. They are not certified as future-proof
When you are making an investment in a Ryzen motherboard, you should make sure that it would last you for many years to come; however, the x470 isn't labeled or certified as future-proof, and it may require you to buy a new motherboard after every few years. If you don't mind splurging on another motherboard then, the x470 processor would make an appropriate choice for you.
The latest addition to the Ryzen 3000 series, x570, is definitely one of a kind of motherboard, and it is integrated with modern features that are likely to take your PC to a whole new level of bandwidth, data transfer, PCIe 4.0 support, NWMe is useful for garnering high-speed data transfer.
The motherboard is designed in compliance with the PCIe 4.0 compatibility, and it features the USB 3.1 gen2 ports to help the users reap many of its advantageous benefits. Following is the breakdown of the pros and cons offered by the x570 motherboard.
1. It comprises of advantaged features
Ryzen 3000 series top-contender, x570, is integrated with highly advanced features and specifications, which obviously require a high price to pay. The motherboard is integrated with PCI Express 4.0 as well as it comprises of adequately sized heatsinks to control the temperature of the controllers. However, these heatsinks are fairly removable and replaceable, so if you have a better option in mind, don't hesitate to make changes to the motherboard.
2. The superior choice for the 3rd Gen Ryzen
The latest iterations of B450 and x470 motherboards have made it to the 3rd Gen Ryzen series; however, the latest series is promising to offer up to 12-16 core models to facilitate the needs of its users. The heavy-duty CPU is equipped to reach a relatively high frequency in comparison to its counterparts, as well as it is offering clarity on the usage and performance of the motherboard.
In other words, the x570 definitely makes a superior choice for the 3rd Gen Reyzen series, and it features a room for improvement to help you make the recommendable changes to the motherboards/chipsets.
1. Relatively expensive than its counterparts
While everyone wants to pay a certain amount for top-notch performance and quality, no one would really want to break their banks to invest in the x570 motherboard. The estimated pricing for the motherboard is 30% more than its counterparts, such as the x470 motherboard, and it leaves little to no room for PC builders that are ambitious to make a budgetary purchase.
2. It has a tendency to overheat
X570 is integrated with unique and advanced features, which means that it would utilize additional power from the CPU for sustaining its performance that may cause it to heat up instantly. However, you may require a chipset fan as a supplementary accessory to control the temperature of the motherboard—which would probably make another expense to add to your list of bills.
Why should you pay attention to a Motherboard VRM?
VRMs or, Voltage Regulator Module, is an integral component of any motherboard, and its composition, features, and performance shouldn't be overlooked at all costs. If your motherboard is integrated with a mediocre VRM then, it may potentially result in deteriorating the performance and ability of your processor within no time. If you are using a good-quality motherboard and its VRM's quality isn't as good then, you should certainly expect some glitches or errors in the performance of both of your appliances.
The main objective of using a VRM is to supply reliable power and energy to your motherboard. Choosing a good-quality basic VRM can result in churning out favorable outcomes; whereas, a mid-range CPU would also increase the usability of your motherboard.
If you are an overclocker then, you should invest in a VRM with rather effective and quality components. As a result of using cheap components, it may supply inadequate voltage to the motherboard, potentially resulting in erroneous shutdowns.
Picking motherboard from three different perspectives: casual PC user or average, enthusiast and extreme overclocker
With the number of options of motherboards on the market, one should choose a motherboard of their choice depending on their range of use. For instance, a casual PC user wouldn't know how to use a motherboard that is intended for an extreme overclocker, and so on. Here, we have enlisted the motherboards that would meet the individual choices of the users, respectively.
Casual PC user: As a casual PC user, you are good to go with the B450 due to its affordability and limited range of options. You can simply satiate your needs with this basic motherboard; however, if you are adamant on moving to a new and modern motherboard then, the x470 would make a better fit for your needs.
Enthusiast: As mentioned previously, the x470 is particularly made for enthusiasts, and it offers them a wide range of options to control and complete their PC building requisites.
Overclocker: It is obvious that the x570 makes the perfect contender for overclockers.
X470 and x570 motherboards are a top contender of the third-generation Ryzen 3000 series, and it introduces a user to a multitude of features and programs. Choose a motherboard of your choice carefully for a satisfactory PC building experience.

What is the QHD or Quad High Definition?
Modern Setup Host Fixing the CPU Usage


In the past few weeks, I have seen numerous people citing that the average American watches something like 5 hours of TV a day. 5 hours seems really high and the 2013 Time Use Survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics shows that the average America really watches about 2.8 hours of TV. That is still a crazy number. Particularly now that summer has started and the kids are out of school, I am planning my TV time like I would plan a trip to the movies. Let me explain.
In the morning, there is no TV. Between walking the dog, going to the gym to coach or workout, eating breakfast and getting ready for work, I don't have a minute of time to stare at the TV. Sure, my kids might have it on for an episode of My Little Pony or Phineas and Ferb, but I'm not watching it.
During the work day, I don't watch TV because I'm working.
After work, I am either coaching again, going to cheer my kids on at a swim meet or helping prepare dinner, so no TV then. After we eat and get the kids ready for bed, with baths and stories, I might sit down on the couch at 8:30 at night. My bed time, to ensure that I can do the same routine the next day is 9, so that leaves me enough time for a 20ish minute show. If I want to watch something longer, I have to treat it like a trip to the movies. Make sure the kids are tucked in bed and be ready for a late night.
I was talking this fact over with my wife and she found an interesting fact which might contribute to our viewing extended TV watching as a movie. We do not watch live TV. We cut the cord (or would if Verizon didn't make their bundle so weird that is financially stupid to just have internet). No broadcast TV, just Netflix, HBO Now and iTunes TV and movies. Because the content we want is on demand, we don't have to schedule time to catch our show. With a DVR, we could time shift it, but our current setup is that without the warnings about the DVR getting full, or the guilt of seeing a massive list of shows to watch.
This is not to brag about how little TV I watch, or how busy my days are, just to comment on how much time can be "wasted". Is there really 3 hours of television I want to watch every night of the week? Watching a show that you really like is different from just watching TV to watch.

The star urged pop musicians to 'make something that's actually worth listening to'.
Electronica star Moby has taken a swipe at the current pop music scene, saying most of it is "heartbreakingly terrible" and suggesting some artists lack musical integrity.
The US musician, DJ and producer posted a long rant on Instagram under the headline: "Pop music is terrible", claiming the majority of music in the genre is "shallow and trite and unredeemable".
Moby, 52, said: "I mean, who should listen to a middle-aged guy complain about the state of pop music, right?
"But, with that caveat, let me state that from my perspective pop music is heartbreakingly terrible.
I mean, who should listen to a middle aged guy complain about the state of pop music, right? But, with that caveat, let me state that from my perspective pop music is heart breakingly terrible. Every now and then a slice of fascinating genius, like Love from @kendricklamar , slips through, but for the most part pop music is shallow and trite and unredeemable. There's nothing wrong with the occasional throw away pop song, but when 99.9% of pop music is utterly cheap and disposable it's time to go and listen to public enemy or John Lennon or Led Zeppelin or nirvana or any of the countless artists who had integrity and actually wanted to change the world and not just make $20 from a streaming service while the apocalypse waits at the door. Please, pop musicians and producers, I say this on behalf of humanity, please use your talent and fame to make something that's actually worth listening to and that will make the world a better place to live. Maybe go listen to 'imagine' or 'fight the power' for inspiration.
The star – whose real name is Richard Melville Hall – said while it was fine to have the occasional throwaway pop song, "when 99.9% of pop music is utterly cheap and disposable it's time to go and listen to Public Enemy or John Lennon or Led Zeppelin or Nirvana or any of the countless artists who had integrity and actually wanted to change the world and not just make 20 dollars from a streaming service while the apocalypse waits at the door".
He continued: "Please, pop musicians and producers, I say this on behalf of humanity, please use your talent and fame to make something that's actually worth listening to and that will make the world a better place to live.

Cargill invests US$113m in Ivory Coast and Ghana cocoa processing expansions
WEST AFRICA – Global agribusiness company, Cargill will be investing over US$113 million to expand its cocoa processing sites in Yopougon, Ivory Coast and Tema, Ghana.
The company is planning to invest US$100 million to increase production capacity at Yopougon by 50 percent while a US$13 million investment at the Tema site in Ghana will increases its capacity by 20 percent.
To meet customer demand, Cargill said that a significant share of the additional capacity in its cocoa processing plant in Yopougon will be fully dedicated to produce Gerkens deeply rich brown cocoa powders.
Explaining the expansion of the processing plants Lionel Soulard, managing director Cargill West-Africa said:
"We aim to shift a greater share of our global grinding activities to the countries of origin, so we can support the establishment of a broader, local agri-food industry.
"Working directly with both governments and other key stakeholders, we are committed to economic growth, building sustainable local businesses and diversifying sources of income for cocoa farming communities."
Investing in local communities, sustainability
At the same time, Cargill will also be investing US$12.3 million over the next three years to expand sustainability and supply chain traceability programs in the two countries.
This is a combination of a US$7.7 million investment in Ivory Coast, and US$3.4 million in Ghana in programs that the company said will enhance the safety and well-being of families in cocoa farming areas.
The investments are also aimed at providing a more transparent, traceable cocoa supply chain for customers and consumers as part of the Cargill Cococa Promise.
These community projects will focus on creating stronger, more resilient cocoa-farming communities.
The Ivory Coast investment will include: Expanding of the Child Labor Monitoring and Remediation System with the International Cocoa Initiative and launching of a new program with Save the Children and building six new schools.
The company is also expanding of its partnership with the International Finance Corporation to launch a digital training program, Coop Academy 2.0.
Cargill said that the US$3.4 million investment in sustainability and social programs in Ghana will go towards expanding or launching new programs with partners to create a more sustainable cocoa sector.
In Ivory Coast, Cargill has also committed an additional US$1.2 million to implement scalable mapping and monitoring technology solutions in 2020 to advance traceability of the supply chain.
In Ghana, where Cargill has already achieved 100 percent traceability in its supply chain from farm to factory using these technologies, the company said it will continue to invest in GPS polygon mapping of new farms.
According to the company, data from the deployment of GPS polygon mapping and electronic bean tracking solutions inform how Cargill designs and deploys its sustainability programs to help the company deliver on sustainably sourced products.
