/ About USDA / Former Secretaries
Ed Schafer was sworn in as the 29th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on January 28, 2008.Secretary Schafer brings a record as an innovative two-term governor of North Dakota to USDA along with extensive private sector experience as both an entrepreneur and a business executive. Schafer served as North Dakota's governor from 1992 to 2000 and made diversifying and expanding North Dakota's economy, reducing the cost of government and advancing agriculture his top priorities in office.
Mike Johanns was sworn in as the 28th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on January 21, 2005. Secretary Johanns' strong agricultural roots stretch back to his childhood. He was born in Iowa and grew up doing chores on his family's dairy farm. As the son of a dairy farmer, he developed a deep respect for the land and the people who work it. He still describes himself as "a farmer's son with an intense passion for agriculture." That passion has been evident during Johanns' tenure as Secretary of Agriculture. Days after he took office, he began working with U.S. trading partners to reopen their markets to U.S. beef. Nearly 119 countries had closed their markets after a single finding of a BSE-infected cow in the U.S. in 2003. Within his first year, Johanns convinced nearly half that number to reopen their markets.
Veneman was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate and sworn in as the 27th U.S. Secretary of Agriculture on January 20, 2001. A lawyer and daughter of peach farmers, Veneman served as California's agriculture secretary from 1995 to 1999. From 1991 to 1993, Veneman was Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From 1989 to 1991, Veneman served as Deputy Under Secretary of Agriculture for International Affairs and Commodity Programs. She joined the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service in 1986 and served as Associate Administrator until 1989. Veneman was actively involved in the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations, NAFTA, and the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement. Raised in Modesto, California, Veneman earned her bachelor's degree in political science from the University of California at Davis, and a master's degree in public policy from the University of California at Berkeley, and a juris doctorate degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law.

The current myMoodle centre column lists up to 21 courses a user has access to, and if there are more there is no way to change which ones are listed. Courses are listed in the order in which they are retrieved from the database.
This patch will give users the option to:
- choose the order in which courses are listed in the centre column of the myMoodle page,
- set how many courses shall be displayed when loading myMoodle.

parts of this sort-of go in the same direction as shown in the myMoodle-myCourses mockup in
all courses are displayed in editing mode. THe ser can move courses up and down and choose how many should be displayed when editing is turned off
Attached file contains the local hack code so far. Effects demonstrated in screen shots.
Mind you, it's still not done. The code is quite ugly and will need some cleaning up, and more importantly, some comments.
The code in the zip needs to go to /moodle/local/. in addition to this, my code relies on
http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-17446 ("LOCAL: my moodle centre column override") which Penny Leach wrote in December.
Another thing that's not quite ready for prime time yet, is that I haven't created a database xml file in /moodle/local/db/ yet. It will come, though.
As it is at the moment, the attached code requires the manual (by admin) creation of two new additional profile fields:
both are straight text fields (not text input), and it's clearly visible that I need to fix the names to be firstly consistent, and secondly in agreement with the coding guidelines.
If you risk installing this code as it is right now, users will get two and a half new features on myMoodle:
1: users have the option to change the order of courses on myMoodle by clicking up and down arrows while in editing mode.
2: user can choose how many courses are displayed on myMoodle by changing the number in the drop-down box while in editing mode.
2 1/2: course details such as due assignments are initially collapsed when the myMoodle page is loaded. they can be unfolded by clicking an icon.
the patch at the moment also needs an addition to styles_layout.css in your favourite (or standard) theme. THis will need to be moved to local as well, I suppose.
discussion about this is here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=122236
I have uploaded a new package of files. The code has some better comments now and the style looks nicer.
This still requires manual creation of profile fields and an edit to the standard style sheet, unfortunately.
I reformulated the install.txt to be a little bit clearer and changed a few words and links.
I got rather confused attempting to apply this patch to a 1.9.5 installation. The 'Affected Branches:" field above indicates MOODLE_19_STABLE so I was surprised to find reference in the patch file to a root level directory called 'local' which is not in the current 1.9.5 distribution. Moreover, Penny Leach's patch at
MDL-17446 implies MOODLE_20_STABLE and I'm assuming that this directory is present in 2.0. However, I am not going to attempt to bring up version 2.0 as a production server at this point in development, so I'm wondering how to proceed. Do you have this 'backported' (I think that's the phrase) to 1.9.5? Do you have a moodle/index.php and moodle/local/lib.php file which is 1.9.5 compatible to use with your patch? Thanks for any help.
This is the patch file referenced below from Penny Leach which implements custom handler code for display by MyMoodle. It's fixed for 1.9.5
So, yes, I did get rather confused but I think I've sussed it out:
1. If you're on Moodle v1.9.5 (like what I am) use the patch file above like this:
a. get the file into your moodle system and move it into the moodle/my directory
b. apply with $ patch <hook-for-a-local-my-moodle-195.patch
2. Now download and unpack the above ZIP file and follow instructions in the install.txt. This will provide the handler referred to by the patch file above (which is what got me rather confused)
Hope this helps.
To make life easier I've created a patch for the styles_layout.css. To apply:
Download to your moodle site with ftp or scp
$ cd moodle/theme/standard
$ mv ../../mymoodle-styles-layout-css.patch .
$ patch <mymoodle-styles-layout-css.patch
That should do it! Nice system Minh-Tam! I like it.
I uploaded a new package of files:
MDL-19430 (20090818).zip
I have made a number of changes to improve security, maintainability and performance, as suggested by Ashley Holman.
I have also made changes to the install.txt to hopefully avoid the confusion Mark went through.
This package is straight from of my installation of 1.9.5, and Penny's patch also works fine on 1.9.5, once you create the 'local' folder.
I downloaded the
MDL-19430 (20090818).zip and substituted it into a working 1.9.5 system where the previous version had worked fine. I found two errors:
1) The pulldown menu for number of courses always has "10" at the bottom (not there before)
2) Switch on debug in administration and get the following notices:
Notice: Undefined variable: site in /usr/home/markp/public_html/moo-195/local/lib.php on line 169
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /usr/home/markp/public_html/moo-195/local/lib.php on line 169
I thought you should know.
Thank you Mark for those two points.
The extra 10 (if the user has access to less than 10 courses) was mainly to allow people to set a higher number than they currently have, in anticipation of soon getting more.
However your comment made me realise that this wasn't the right solution. Instead, I have now changed it to be "Always show all", 1, 2, 3, etc. up to the number of courses. THis shoudl allow users to set it to 'Always all' and know that new courses will show.
I have also changed the code to avoid that error message. I guess I was a little too keen in removing unused variables.
Yep. That fixed it! This is a brilliant modification to the MyMoodle interface and changes the whole way that we use Moodle. No longer do I have to 'hide' courses from teachers – they can organise the display any way they want. I hope that this feature gets included in any MyMoodle improvements (certainly for 2.0).
I have uploaded a new version of the files, with changes addressing most of the points raised in the discussion forum: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=122236
When in edit mode, there now is a greater delineation to show which courses will be shown and which ones won't, and the language files have been changed a little. The logic relating to the display of up and down arrows was changed a little, too.
This is the version we have now running on production.
I also made a very quick video of how it works here: http://www.minhtam.info/a/screens/MDL-19430_%2820090904%29.swf
I have found that if a student blocks a contact, the unread messages are still counted in the MyMoodle page when it should only counting non-blocked contact messages with something like this :-
select m.id,useridfrom,useridto,blocked from mdl_message m left join
mdl_message_contacts mc on m.useridfrom=mc.contactid where m.useridto=XXXX
and mc.userid=XXXX and mc.blocked=0;
Current query is only checking for unread messages by :-
if ($countmessages = count_records('message', 'useridto', $USER->id)) {
This appears to still be a problem and people have duplicated this issue.
I'm bumping the priority for this issue and linking a few issues to it.
The code above does not seem to be quickly useful for 2.x.
We have been having issues with some of the limits of the course overview block as well, so I did some development that allows the block to be more useful.
The changes allow the user to set how many courses they with to displayy at one time, change the order that courses are displayed in, based on one of several fields.
If the user is enrolled on more courses than the display limit it will let them page back and forth through their courses.
Moodle 2 version of this patch by Netspot for University of Canberra and Flinders University:
Thanks for the update Minh
Hi Rajesh,
it's great to see that this has been added to the next sprint. Thanks.
When you're working on it, please be aware that the Moodle 2.x version of this moduls is on github at https://github.com/netspotau/moodle-block_my_course_overview
I have observed one performance issue in both this myMoodle block but also in the core myMoodle, relating to users with more than 20 courses showing, due to Moodle querying so any courses.
Hi All,
https://github.com/netspotau/moodle-block_my_course_overview has been updated with some fixes:
- Add note about hidden courses when editing
- Fix icon positioning in some browsers
- Switch icon to match correct moving style (move_2d for ajax moving)
Looking at this in 2.x functionality has changed a bit.
Not sure if this improvement will raise bug. In 2.x $CFG->mycoursesperpage has been added which allow admin to set max courses for user. Also, Admin can change the order in which user should view the courses (Settings -> Site administration -> courses -> Add/edit courses)
I think we need more discussion, before we plan to implement this. As this will affect category sorting as well.
Currently admin can set the max visible courses on my moodle page, and set the order in which courses are displayed to user (sorted by category and then courses within category). Sorting is set from admin section.
Unfortunately we are only supporting 1.9 for security patches, so I am not considering 1.9 implementation.
Sorry, didn't get much time to look at this. Moving it to next sprint.
Thanks Adam for the awesome code.
I have done few changes and will push it for review now.
The first commit gets rid of the remote courses https://github.com/rajeshtaneja/moodle/commit/a7da3061144e6c67f67f196a17b8ca45c0e3732b#L1L71 so it seems to be a loss of funcionality; this will also affect the JS methods, which are based only in local courses ids without taking into account the mnethostid
Thanks for pointing that David,
I have updated the patch to show remote courses.
All ok Rajesh, the only thing I see according to http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Peer_reviewing_checklist is that there is no sesskey checking in the move.php action
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Hi guys,
I've been having a good look at this and have made the following notes.
There are some cool things happening here but this still needs more polishing sorry.
- README.php - looks like its a copy of the docs page for this block? Would be great to simplfy that to what is needed or convert it to a docs page and remove it entirely. This would be the only block with a readme so perhaps best to remove it.
- @package should be block_course_overview.
- A few vars with underscores in their names. Just general coding style guff.
- block_course_overview.php
- + why set instance_can_be_hidden to true?
- + remove closing ?>
- locallib.php
- block_course_overview_get_overviews unused global vars
- + Should probably be using get_plugin_list_with_function rather than manually finding modules with callbacks.
- block_course_overview_get_child_shortnames unused globals
- + that is function is manually constructing a string (is complex but needs to be translatable).
- + looks like it could be using get_records_sql_menu rather than iterating to build $shortnames.
- + those course shortnames need to be run through format_string.
- renderer.php
- inclusion of message/lib.php should be moved to welcome_area method (looks like that is the only use) or much better yet included when needed in block_course_overview.php and the message count passed in as an argument (renderers should contain little to no logic).
- Please don't use globals within a renderer. $OUTPUT is available through $this->output and $PAGE is available through $this->page.
- course_overview moving the following calls out of the foreach will be good for performance. $this->pix_url, ajaxenabled and perhaps get_string if you can be bothered (not nearly as important as the other two).
- + there is a
 that should be a
 (I'm just guessing xhtml)
- + course->fullname needs to be run through format_string (filters etc) please ensure you provide the context as an arg (required for new format calls)
- collapsible_region_start unused globals
- activity_display activity_display.$module strings need to be coming from the modules and not from the block_course_overview lang file. I also think they should be passed in rather than fetched within the render as renderers should contain minimal logic.
- save.php
- use require_sesskey instead of confirm_sesskey.
- MUST require_login there
- move.php
- use require_sesskey instead of confirm_sesskey.
- MUST require_login there
- The two debugging calls look like they should be exceptions. Assuming you don't hit that path through normal operation.
- settings.php
- Rather than iterating over $configs to set the plugin change the name of each setting to: block_course_overview/settingname. That way you don't need to manually set the plugin.
- styles.css
- Use of font-size property is undesireable. Especially h2.title which uses !important. We need to test this with all core themes if we are going to set that.
Thanks for the comments Sam,
I have updated code with most of your feedback. Few questions:
4-1 Not sure, currently it is set to false.
5-6 It is going through format_string, do I need something else ?
6-7 It is done for custom message for different modules. If not found then custom message is shown. Do you want me to move these strings to corresponding modules?
Hi Raj,
4.1. Perhaps best to look into that and find out why its now being changed. If there is a good reason no probs at all, but if its just a random change then perhaps best to leave it as false.
5.6. https://github.com/rajeshtaneja/moodle/blob/3877daee439a0d0a8de08bc5484823bfe730da7a/blocks/course_overview/locallib.php#L76 Each of those shortnames would need to be formatted by itself using the context of the course they belong to. Probably best to preload contexts in the SQL statement
The string as a whole needs to be converted to a lang string, and should not be run through format_string once that is done.
6.7. Yip, those strings need to be coming from the modules themselves, so that if someone writes their own module they can define a string that will be used by the course overview block. Of course it should still check the string exists and use the default string if not.
David, Can you please review this again.
I have integrated all comments, suggested by Sam.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.

Thanks Sam,
It's nice to see this patch in moodle
Thanks everyone, especially Adam for sharing this patch and thoughts.
The test passes but there is a minor error with the spacer image.
$html .= html_writer::empty_tag('img', array('src' => $this->pix_url('t/spacer'),
should be
$html .= html_writer::empty_tag('img', array('src' => $this->pix_url('spacer'),
If someone could push that in, I'll pass the test.
Thanks Fred for spotting that.
@Sam: I have added an other commit, can you please pull that.
Thanks for spotting Fred, and thanks for creating a fix Raj.
I've merged the fix in now and its all ready to be pulled and tested again.
yay, it works!
This issue has been put through rigorous processes and finally swam upstream along with some 65 others this week.
Thank you all for taking the time to get us here.
Just wanted to check - is there any step-by-step documentation on installing and using this? Our users are very keen to customise the My Moodle page, but I'm not clear if this will run in 2.3 or if we'll need to wait until next year when we plan to upgrade to 2.4, whether I also need to install the
MDL-17446 patch mentioned or if that will come as part of the git clone, and where the files should be installed/cloned to?
Thanks, Gordon.
Hello Gordon,
This should run on 2.3. No you don't have to install
You can use git cherry-pick and pick two commits from git.moodle.org (http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=mdl-19430)
Let us know if you need more help on this.
Removing docs_required label as this is documented now in http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/My_Moodle
Just noting that the documentation about this new feature has been moved to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_overview_block
Customizing the course order on a My Moodle page does not work if a user is displaying all of their courses.
The course order feature only works if they specify a certain number of courses to display. (10, 20, etc)
I saw this issue was closed and I don't know if I'm running into a functionality bug or if anyone else has experienced this.
Hello Daniel,
I tried re-ordering courses on My home page, and it works fine.
Can you please provide more information on how to reproduce this issue.
Please make sure you are not getting an JS error while viewing all courses.
The only error that is in the console for the page is this:
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
Version: 2012120307.00
Release: 2.4.7 (Build: 20131111)
How many courses are you reordering?
The instructor / administrator in question has roles in 114 courses and has them all displayed on his my moodle page.
The problem occurring is when you move courses using ajax editing they do not stay in the custom order. When you turn editing off (customize this page) the courses just return to their original order.
The courses are a mix of visible and hidden courses but it doesn't appear that has anything to do with the issue. I've also looked at how the categories are affecting the course order and it doesn't seem to matter either. It isn't sorting them alphabetically either so I'm not entirely sure how the courses are even sorted. The original issue states it orders them based upon retrieval from the database but what determines how quickly one course is retrieved versus another?
It just seems to me Moodle is not properly registering and updating the "course_overview_course_order" field in the mdl_user_preferences.
Hello Daniel,
Can you please confirm which browser you are using. it will be helpful if you check this works on other browser.
I checked with 15 courses and it seems to work fine. Visibility should not be a problem. Problem seems to be coming from JS error, which could be because of custom block as well.
Can you track from where "event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead." gets trigged.
I have the seen the same behavior as Daniel – when a user has many courses, changing the order on the "Course Overview" block in the My Home page doesn't work. I checked the Apache error log and this is what shows up:
Default exception handler: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer:
Invalid value in set_user_preference() call, value is is too long for the value column

"These should be used to hit nails into wooden boards.Love Miu Miu, love Prada and its other subsidiaries such Car shoe and others, but these are ( despite my feet defying the meaning of 7.5 or 37.5 shoe sizing) awful.They look good, the feel comfy ( once you managed to get your feet in) while standing (especially to people with back issues) but try to walk.....Narrow, must know how to walk on solid all the way through platforms, very loud during walking (sledge hammer).If order 1/2 bigger they will be long no sure if wider enough or too wideGoing back faster then it old take you to read this review."

Canadian pairs advance to quarterfinals at international beach volleyball tournament
(photo Martin Reader with Brazil's Julia Schmidt in pre-tournament fashion show
CHENNAI, India – Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., advanced to the quarterfinals in men's play and Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney, both of Toronto, did the same on the women's side on Wednesday at the FIVB Chennai Challenger beach volleyball tournament.
Reader and Schalk, seeded 12th, defeated Sven Vismans and Peter Heysteeg of the Netherlands in their opening match 21-9, 21-14 then edged Reza Assari Naeini and Rahman Raoufi of Iran 17-21, 21-19, 15-13 in 63 minutes, the longest match of the tournament so far.
"We came out firing against the Dutch in the first game and took them handily," said Reader. "But the Iranians put up a big fight. They are small but had excellent ball control and we had to really focus on executing in our end. We made points at crucial times and held our side-out late in the game to win it."
The Canadians have been in India for a week in order to adjust to the conditions and have been inspired by their stay.
"It been so much more than volleyball," said Schalk. "We've experienced the culture and have been humbled by a trip to an orphanage. We gained so much more than practice on the court."
Steve Marshall of Abbotsford, B.C., and Ben Saxton of Calgary are also still in contention after a win and a loss on Wednesday at the double elimination tournament.
On the women's side, Bansley and Maloney, seeded 11th, defeated Ana Vidal and Maria Corral of Spain 21-10, 21-12 and upset sixth-seeds Laura Giombini and Valeria Rosso of Italy 12-21, 21-12, 15-13.
''In our first match against Spain we were able to take control with our tough serving and consistent siding out,'' said Bansley. ''Our second match tonight against Italy was a little rocky at the beginning but in the second set we started executing better. It wasn't our best game but we feel confident.
Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Katherine Zakrzewski of Toronto opened with a victory over Beh Shun Thing and Luk Teck Hua of Malaysia in three sets. But they lost their second match to fourth-seeds Vilde Solvoll and Ingrid Torlen of Norway in three sets with the third finishing 15-13. They must go through the repechage to get to the medal round.
''Overall we played well,'' said Rodrigue. ''We had slumps in the second set of both matches but we were able to bounce back strong. One of the two Norwegian players was at the last Olympics and their experience won out in the end. Still it's fun to see we can keep pace with such a strong team.''
Competition continues Thursday.

With 72 years of practice, the USO knows how to throw a party.
And after sitting through ceremony practice last week, 170 graduating students from Patch High School in Stuttgart, Germany, needed a break.
USO Stuttgart – with help from the parents of the graduating seniors – held a barbecue for the grads June 4, with USO staff and volunteers served up hamburgers, hot dogs, sides and desserts.
When they were done eating, students were treated to an afternoon of lawn games including a water balloon toss, volleyball and croquet.
"We appreciate the USO so much for coming out and supporting the seniors," said Sheryl Wagner, the Patch High School Guidance Department secretary and mother of a senior.

Fifty-eight people lining the infield of Miller Park were all thinking the same thing: "Just don't let me throw it in the dirt."
On Memorial Day, the USO of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Brewers teamed to do something special for thousands of troops. Not only did they combine to donate and distribute 5,000 tickets to the May 27 Brewers game against the Minnesota Twins, but they also placed 58 troops on the field before the game to throw out simultaneous ceremonial first pitches.
The Brewers Community Foundation also held a 50/50 raffle that afternoon, with proceeds going to the USO of Wisconsin.

Cedric Heymans then grabbed his side's second score which Boyet also converted before German Bustos scored Rovigo's only points of the half with a penalty of his own.
It was the hosts who started the brighter in the second period with lock Tommaso Reato touching down after 43 minutes.

Wade scored his first try after only a minute and despite Felix Le Bourhis pegging one back for the home side, Wade then added two more tries before replacement Waldouck also got over for a score that capped his comeback from serious long-term injury.
Thierry Brana scored early in the second half for Bordeaux but then wing Varndell and scrum-half Berry crossed with Nicky Robinson kicking the extras for Dai Young's outfit.

Love carrot cake? Skip the frosting, and try a sweet and spicy loaf with a boost of high-fiber cereal.
Grease only the bottoms of loaf pans for quick breads. Ungreased sides allow the batter to cling while rising during baking, which helps form a gently rounded top. If sides are greased, the edges of the loaf may have ridges.

Immunet Protect Free  188.8.131.5270
# Changes
* We've made a bunch of changes to the way data is corrolated in our Cloud Servers and added a new Telemetry setting to Immunet clients. In the next few months we expect these two features to help us make big strides towards detecting, preventing false positives (cases where Immunet accidentally detects a safe file as a virus).
* We've removed the ClamAV install option from the installer. Don't worry though, ClamAV protection is still available to all Immunet users in both the free Cloud and paid Plus modes - and can be turned on through the Immunet settings dialog.
# Bug fixes
* Fixed a bug where new versions retrieved through "Update Now" would always install the 32bit version of Immunet, even if you were running on a 64bit platform.
* Tuned the timing of queries to the Immunet Cloud to decrease file lock and disk hashing issues.

A joint investigation by Metro police narcotics detectives and TBI agents into alleged methamphetamine sales and manufacturing by a Mt. Juliet man led to today's execution of a Wilson County search warrant and the arrest of the suspect.
Carroll Johnson Cook, 49, of 11 Cooks Road in Mt. Juliet, is being charged at the Wilson County Jail with initiating the process to manufacture meth and meth possession. A Davidson County warrant charging Cook with selling meth will be sought tomorrow.
During a search of Cook's home today, investigators found a small quantity of meth and smoking paraphernalia. Inside a barn on the property, detectives and agents discovered 12 cooking pots, numerous empty packages of pseudoephedrine, muriatic acid, sodium hydroxide and other components associated with meth manufacture.
This investigation began with Cook's alleged meth sale in Davidson County to an operative working with Nashville police. The TBI joined the case when it became apparent that Cook's suspected meth involvement was based in Wilson County.
Other agencies taking part in today's search warrant execution included the Wilson County Sheriff's Office, the Wilson County Office of Emergency Management and the Tennessee Methamphetamine Task Force.

BRAMPTON, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/09/14 -- Natural Resources Canada
The Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today spoke at the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce, where he discussed his recent visit to India and emphasized his interest in expanding the Canada-India commercial partnership.
Minister Oliver underscored the strategic complementarity between Canada and India - Canada as a secure, responsible supplier of energy with a need to diversify its markets and India's huge and growing demand for energy and natural resources. Calling Canada a "21st-century natural resource superpower," Minister Oliver highlighted progress in bilateral trade in the nuclear, forest, oil and natural gas sectors.
Quick Facts
-- From January 10 to 16, Minister Oliver led an official delegation to India, along with major Canadian business leaders. -- Minister Oliver: -- made keynote addresses at PETROTECH and the Confederation of Indian Industries; -- met with Indian leaders in business and government; -- announced financial support for a wood market development office in Mumbai, introducing Indians to Canadian wood products; -- co-signed a letter of intent with Beni Prasad Verma, India's Minister of Steel, to expand cooperation in iron and steel; and -- witnessed the renewal of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to advance cooperation in earth sciences and mining. -- An MOU on oil and gas was signed between Canada and India in 2013. It creates the foundation for strategic and technical cooperation, including undertaking joint research projects, exchanging expertise and promoting cooperation between our oil and gas companies. -- In September 2013, the Nuclear Cooperation Agreement between India and Canada came into force. Under this agreement, companies in both countries can export controlled nuclear materials, equipment and technology for peaceful purposes.
"Canada is becoming a 21st-century natural resource superpower. In New Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, my mission was to advance our economic partnership with India - to promote Canada as a safe, secure, reliable market and destination for capital investment. That mission was a success."

DevOps is being widely accepted (if not fully adopted) as essential in enterprise IT. But as Enterprise DevOps gains maturity, expands scope, and increases velocity, the need for data-driven decisions across teams becomes more acute. DevOps teams in any modern business must wrangle the 'digital exhaust' from the delivery toolchain, "pervasive" and "cognitive" computing, APIs and services, mobile devices and applications, the Internet of Things, and now even blockchain.
