On the morning of the 6th of December, my mother came to my room to wake me up. "Nelson Mandela died," she said, waiting for me to get out of bed and watch the news with her. Earlier, my Aunties in South Africa had phoned to tell us about the passing as soon as the current South African President, Jacob Zuma, announced Mandela's death. The fact that he was gravely ill had been playing out for over a year so I guess I wasn't too surprised. To a certain degree, I had hoped that he would pass away soon since he seemed to be caught in a cycle of hospital visits and emergency treatment. By the end of his life, he could barely talk.
Born in 1990, during the years of negotiation for democracy, I'm neither apart of the born-free generation, born after 1994, nor am I a part of the generations before me who faced the discrimination and segregation of Apartheid. In this sense, I guess I never really understood the big fuss around Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) until I was much older. I never really understood how the struggle against Apartheid has shaped my view of the world and that of the people around me until now.
Looking back, I understand why I always felt so caught between my parent's take on the world and my grandparent's inherent sense of race.
My parents grew up in South Africa of rebellion. My father joined the ANC during his time at university in the 70s and 80s, often protesting the apartheid regime and running errands for the party, including driving around senior leaders. For this reason, the apartheid government refused to allow my father and his peers to have a graduation ceremony. It was only in 1997 that they were finally allowed to adorn the black cape and cap. For my father, the prison lock-ups and police brutality were worth it in order to achieve the dream of one day living in a democratic and free country.
Contrastingly, my grandparents who grew up between the 1920s-1940s in racial segregation seemed to accept it that way. Their sense of race became inherent and their identity as Indian, written in the pass books they were made to carry, was the only heritage they were willing to accept.
I think that the generational divide is where the shift from Apartheid influence truly plays out. Whilst my grandparents were taught to fear the black man and respect the white man, my parents grew up with Nelson Mandela and the ANC slowly penetrating and changing previous notions held about race and one's place in South Africa.
By the time I was born, racial segregation had started to break down in a big way. For one, whilst my grandparents had homes in traditionally Indian areas, my parents ventured away and bought their first home in a previously white-only neighbourhood. This became a contrast in my life that confused me. My parents wanted me to grow up surrounded by diversity whilst my grandparents, who I was close to, were still very grounded in their Indian identity. Most of my cousins, who grew up in heavily Indian influenced areas were quick to point out that black people were inferior whilst white people were evil for the bad things they did.
Starting school, I noticed from an early age that social groups were race based: Indians were friends with Indians, and occasionally with Coloureds. Blacks with Blacks. Most Whites still attended private (previously white-only) schools.
Looking back now, my introduction into the world of ethnic heritage and race still centred around the dynamics of Apartheid.
Nevertheless, my parents sent me to a Jai Hind Primary school (Victory to India) and brought me up in white dominated neighbourhood. On weekdays I played and learned with my brown skinned, dark haired, dark eyed peers and on the weekend, I swam and went to church with fair skinned, little blonde haired girls with blue eyes who didn't seem so evil to me.
When the black middle-class started to emerge in the late 90s, my sense of race was again shaken. I had started to form friendships with the black kids in my neighbourhood. Younela, one of best friends during this time, would let me play with her hair and I would let her play with mine because we were fascinated by the different textures. We had sleepovers and slept in the same bed.
When my parents got a live in maid who was black, we would eat dinner and watch TV together.
Black people didn't seem so inferior after all.
The reason I've chosen to reflect on my life as a memorial piece to Mandela is because I think my life has come to reflect his hopes and dreams for South Africa. As a member of generation-y, my sense of race and ethnicity is vastly different to that of my grandparents. Whilst my grandparents were taught to accept their difference and know their place based on their skin colour, my parent's generation, heavily influenced by people like Mr.Mandela, took on the Apartheid government, refusing to accept race as a defining factor in their lives.
My generation continues to live out some of the bumps and face the consequences of the Apartheid regime. Racism still exists on a high scale. The journey towards realising Madiba's dream of a rainbow nation is still a while away, but things are getting better.
Whenever I see my little fair-skinned English and Afrikaans speaking niece who doesn't know the difference between the white side or brown side of her family, I am reminded of this. After all, just two generations ago, she would have been born a crime.

text: Creme Brulee is one of my all-time favorite desserts....ever. However, I have reached the point in my food-snobbery that I am rarely satisfied with this tasty morsel. There are 2 main criteria for an excellent creme brulee, it must be WARM, and the shell must CRACK when you tap it with a spoon. The Maple Creme Brulee at the Lake House Pub and Grille is all this and more. It is delicate and maple-y, but is not too sweet or overpowering. The shell is thin, but present, and the custard is smooth and silky. It is one of the best desserts I have had in VT in a very long time, if not ever.

Great question! I've said it before and I'll say it again: Asia is growth and you cannot afford to not have an Asia growth strategy, regardless of the size of your company. I've been based here in Singapore for nearly 5 years and have observed how Singapore's leaders have worked hard to position Singapore as the regional hub in many industries, thus having a Singapore footprint is one the crucial steps in any company's strategy. Footprint can be anything from setting up a subsidiary company or finding the right type of local partner. The region presents tremendous opportunities but also offers a few challenges such as the diversity of its cultures and customs. Working with someone that knows the region and also has an international background is key. Having travelled the region (Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, etc.) extensively and built a solid and trustworthy network, I'd be more than glad to support your expansion into the region. Do engage me here on the platform and provide me with more details about your business and what goals you'd like to achieve. In the meantime I encourage you to visit http://Singapore.fyi.to/InsightsfromtheInside where you can download a very special book on occasion of the SG50 celebrations where the Singapore International Federation partnered 50 individuals from around the world who have lived, visited, studied or worked in Singapore to share their stories about what makes Singapore tick, Singaporean idiosyncrasies, the surprises they found, and their involvements and contributions to the local community. My essay "What is There Not to Love about Singapore?" can be found on page 146.
The answer varies based on which country you are thinking of. If your focus is India or China, then the game is completely different to say Singapore.
I can speak for India, having spent last 5 years there in a sales overlay team and then in customer success. As a result I have seen both the selling side as well as the retention side.
Key things that come to my mind:
1) Product maturity - think scalability, availability
2) Pricing - think flexibility
3) Market - think not only competition but also how crowded it is
4) Customer service - think customer retention and ease of switching.
5) Selling - think size and local partner strategy.
A lot depends on what is your product, but this was my attempt to broadly identify some of the key things.
In both my roles in India, I faced challenges across all these areas and am happy to get on a call to discuss these in detail specific to your company and product.
This question needs way more details to be answered.
Some few things to explain why:
1-Countries in Asia are VERY different from each other. Chinese culture and Japanese are nothing alike. Business in each country is done on a completely different way
2-Depending on your industry, vertical and product, depends where you should go, and even if you knew where you would go, it may change your go-to market strategy
3-Growing in Asia is expensive (as more international expansion is) and requires lots of work up front so you don't lose all your money just going there.
This are just 3 of many other reasons (capital constrains, data jurisdiction, legal issues, company organizational needs, etc)

Here, we have some photos sent by Richard Evans of some of the instruments which he has made.
He is specializing in Anglos, made in the traditional English construction.
All the photos, and the address are on a single image scan, so I can't do much with formatting.
The instruments do look nice to my eyes, but as usual, I have not had a chance to try one (they *are* in Australia, and I am in the USA, after all -- aside from the fact that I don't play the Anglo, so I could not properly judge one, other than by looking at the internal construction, and checking for reed response. :-)
I hope that this has been some help to you.
Thanks for taking the time to visit.
Note that I have had to block any messages above a certain size, thanks to the massive flood of "SWEN" virii. Anything that gets near 90,000 bytes *will* be blocked. However, it is bad practice to send attachments to anyone unless they agree to receive it beforehand -- especially so in these days of virii running rampant. Contact me, and we will try to find a way to exchange images if you really have to. Donald Nichols (email@example.com)

Louisiana State University, Paul M. Hebert Law Center
Louisiana State University, Paul M. Hebert Law Center
Louisiana State University's Paul M. Hebert Law Center, in Baton Rouge, La., is one of the best value law schools in the nation, ranked No. 19 in 2018. With tuition at just $23,083, it is one of the most affordable law schools in the nation, and it delivers when it comes to both employment and bar pass rates. For the Class of 2017, 92.53 percent landed a job within 10 months of graduation, and the school reported an ultimate bar pass rate of 92.13 percent for the Class of 2015.
Unlike other states, Louisiana uses civil law instead of common law. LSU Law teaches both and gives students the option to take 15 additional credit of civil law courses to earn a Graduate Diploma in Comparative Law in addition to their JD. Faculty say this gives students a leg up in a global, interconnected world. Students decide whether to pursue this diploma in their second year.
"The legal education from LSU Law allows our graduates to practice anywhere in the world and in any field they choose," said Dean Tom Galligan. "Their education in civil and common law prepares our students for the increasingly connected legal world. Whether they end up practicing in Baton Rouge, Houston, Washington, D.C., or Paris, our graduates leave LSU with the education they need to succeed."
LSU Law's comparative law program is designed to strengthen the Law Center's leadership role as curator of the Louisiana Civil Code and the Civil Law generally; and extend recognition to Law Center graduates, who, in order to master both the Civil and the Common Law Systems, complete in-depth study of the Civil Law.
The school also excels in trial advocacy and litigation, with winning moot court teams, and professional skills training in research and writing. It also offers extensive externships and pro bono opportunities. The Law Center's Advocacy programs are among the largest law student advocacy skills training programs in the United States. More than 150 student participate in six different LSU-hosted internal advocacy competitions, more than twenty-five traveling advocacy competition teams, and a series of skills workshops and boot camps.
Students can also choose to earn an Energy Law and Policy certificate through the school's Laborde Energy Law Center.

Tatjana Thelen
Prof. Thelen started her academic career with a dissertation on consequences of post-socialist economic transformations in Hungary and Romania focusing specifically on property relations (PhD 2002, Freie Universität Berlin). As a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology within the Working Group of Legal Pluralism she carried out research in eastern Germany and later also Serbia. During this time her focus shifted from the consequences of economic reforms on social inequality to care and welfare. Increasingly also the interfaces and boundary work between kinship and state formations as well as their epistemic foundations became an additional focus of her research.
Central to her theorising these developments has been the role of establishing and practicing care responsibilities for the (re)production (or dissolution) of significant relations. Drawing on diverse strands of social scientific literature, she argues that care as analytical concepts allows for bridging diverse field in economic and political anthropology allowing for new insights into social organisation. A second major field of her work concerns the critique of how social sciences had so far conceived of South-eastern European societies and their (post-socialist) transformations. Taken together both research fields fed into her latest interest in questions of how differences and relational categories are modelled upon understandings of historical development as central features of Western self-understanding. This question stood also at the heart of the interdisciplinary research group at the Center for Interdisciplinary research in Bielefeld which she headed together with colleagues from Los Angeles, Zurich and Bayreuth during the Academic Year 2017/18.
At the moment Tatjana is interested in the historical development of knowledge production on kinship and its linkages to policy development. Together with colleagues from history, she initiated with Prof. Erdmute Alber the research group on Kinship and Politics: Rethinking a Conceptual Split and its Epistemic Implications in the Social Sciences.
Here they investigate how the ideas about decline of kinship and its separation from politics in Western history came about. Central to Western self-understanding, these ideas have enormous consequences for research and policy-making. The decline of kinship for example seemed so certain that there was little interest in research outside the realm of "traditional" societies. In the domain of politics the presence of kinship was (and is) seen as something to be exorcised in order to establish rational administrative systems, to mobilise colonial populations and even to destroy terrorist infrastructures. It is behind distinctions between modern and traditional, between Western and "Other" societies. Their aim therefore is to revisit this conceptual division between kinship and the state and the categories of "politics", "kinship" and "family". Thereby they wish to explore the implications of viewing non-Western societies through the lens of kinship, and of excluding kinship from the analysis of Western societies.

Students work with life science startup companies through the Startup Legal Garage, which is based at UC Hastings College of Law. Students provide legal services for early-stage startup companies, under supervision of lawyers from leading law firms in the Bay Area. In the Startup Legal Garage:• Students evaluate the patent landscape for early stage life science companies, particularly out of UC campuses such as UCSF. • Student field work is supervised by lawyers at outside law firms including Wilson Sonsini, Crowell and Mooring, Levine, Bagade & Han, and many others. • Students participate by distance in a seminar, taught by UC Hastings Professor Robin Feldman. The seminar meets Thursdays, 1:10 pm to 3:10 pm, beginning the last week of August and ending in mid-November. There is also a required Startup Legal Garage bootcamp from 11:00am - 12:30pm and 1:00pm - 4:00pm on Saturday, August 24 (it is recorded for those who have an excused absence from Prof. Feldman). Questions about the content of the seminar or the bootcamp should be sent directly to Prof. Feldman email@example.com or to Prof. Paul Belonick at email@example.com. UCLA students can participate in the bootcamp at UCLA School of Law through video conferencing.• Students receive 2 letter-graded units for the seminar and 3 P/U/NC units for fieldwork (performed on the students' own time, working remotely with the attorneys and startups). Under Academic Standards effective July 1, 2017, three credit hours of field work requires a minimum of 156 hours over the semester (12-15 hours per week of clinic work). Prerequisite or Co-requisite: • Students must enroll in or have completed an IP Survey Course, and/or Patent Law• A prior Science degree (e.g. engineering, computer science, biology) is strongly recommended so that the student will feel comfortable talking to inventors and analyzing scientific descriptions in patents. Method of Assessment:• The field units are graded PUNC. Students are required to report their time, turn in reflective journals, and meet with the professors individually and/or in groups. The seminar portion will receive a letter grade. The grade is based on 1) preparation for and participation in the discussions in class of the relevant cases and doctrines, 2) and an exam in December.

This column first appeared in Malta Today
It seems that the threat to make chocolate unavailable continues to act like a trigger in so many ways for this country. Those who lived through the 80s will know why.
Mintoff's draconian import laws which banned everything from chocolate to toothpaste and pasta in order to protect local manufacturers, is still too touchy an issue for a lot of people. It is synonymous with a time when the favourite Government word seemed to be 'no': no to colour TV, no to Pepsodent, no to Barilla and, the cruelest blow of them all, no to Mars bars and Cadbury. Those who travelled were invariably issued with instructions by their relatives to bring back the forbidden loot, and everyone's favourite souvenir from overseas was definitely lovely, delicious, heavenly chocolate. It might sound trivial now, but then many reading this may not have had the misfortune to taste Desserta chocolate, the inferior, locally-produced equivalent. Trust me, it was bad.
I think there is a direct correlation between why people gorge so much on food, any food, and the austerity of the 80s when our shelves were woefully bereft of choice and anything really yummy and scrumptious. The availability of rows and rows of tinned Flying Wheel chopped ham and pork imported from China through the bulk buying scheme just didn't quite cut it.
So when I read the article about nurses being up in arms over Mater Dei banning anything fattening from its canteen and any outlets on the premises, the Lovin' Malta headline "Give us back our chocolate and soft drinks" brought back a vivid flashback to those times. The decision by the management, which came into effect on 1 June, was first touted in May of last year. At the time, it was reported by the Times of Malta that "There will be no more "non nutritional" and sugary drinks on offer at Mater Dei as the hospital administration embarks on a health drive. All food items will be restricted for patients, workers or visitors, an internal memo leaked to the media has shown. Suppliers and operators have been given a deadline until June 1, 2019 to eliminate the products. The government will be issuing new tenders for the shops, eateries and vending machines inside Mater Dei."
As a side note, I have to point to the irony that all this happened on the eve of Sette Giugno which commemorates a real rebellion, also partially related to food, in which blood was shed. In 1919, four Maltese men were shot and killed by British soldiers during the uprising in Valletta to protest against the Government and the acute food shortages. Never mind chocolate and soft drinks, that was a time when the country was lacking in basic food stuffs and people were literally starving.
But back to the current issue. The thing is that when you ban something, the inevitable reaction is that it puts people's back up and makes them want it more When it is something with so many psychological connotations for Malta as food, especially chocolate, you can have a full-blown rebellion on your hands. And that is exactly what happened. The deadline arrived and the expected uproar ensued.
"The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses has threatened to issue directives to all its members unless sweets, sweet beverages and carbohydrates are reintroduced for staff in Mater Dei hospital," the Times of Malta reported on Thursday.
While many saw this as an over the top reaction, pointing out that the staff can bring these type of foods from home if they wish, I can also understand the need to have comfort food readily available while working long hours under stress. If you are under pressure, there is something inexplicable which starts brewing in your psyche which turns into a craving for something, anything, to calm you down: some turn to caffeine, others need a cigarette, others need sugar or carbs. Should food or nicotine be used in this way? Obviously not, but our psychological state cannot be reasoned with in a rational way at moments of real stress and fatigue. So while, intellectually, we all know that a drive towards more nutritious eating is a good thing because much of the nation is obese, I think this was not the right way to go about it.
All of those who struggle with weight know that it takes a quantum leap in the way we relate to food to change our eating habits. Sometimes banning something outright from your pantry does help, but in some cases, this might also be too drastic and you can end up with such an overwhelming craving for sugar and carbs that you find yourself binging on them uncontrollably almost as we say in Maltese, "b'vindikazzjoni"…out of revenge, to compensate for the time you spent depriving yourself of the goodies. That's not going to do anyone any good is it?
It is precisely because of this cycle of deprivation > craving > binging that so many crash diets don't work and are doomed to fail. They are simply not sustainable in the long-term. What I think the hospital should have done is that instead of completely banning unhealthy food, it should have ensured that Mater Dei also provides a wide range of healthy options (and this has to be stressed) at a reasonable price. No one is gong to spend 10 Euro on a salad when they can spend a few Euro to fill up on pastizzi or stodgy, hearty pasta instead. The MUMN also raised a valid point by saying that the hospital should provide a free gym on the premises if it wanted to combat obesity. It also has to be pointed out that these are adults we are talking about and you cannot treat them like children whose own school lunches are now very limited, due to a long list of food which has been banned. (Incidentally, have all these school restrictions actually worked to cut down on child obesity?)
Meanwhile, Mater Dei CEO Ivan Falzon was interviewed by Lovin' Malta. He confirmed that the hospital management will request a meeting with the union over the issue but insisted the discussion will not be about reversing the directive but about potentially tweaking the menu.
"I don't think we went too extreme and we left the staff with a number of options such as baguettes and sandwiches," he said. "It's also not true that we're denying staff the right to eat what they want, we're only stating what food will be provided by the hospital itself."
Ultimately, I doubt that bad eating habits and a junk food culture can be eradicated through imposition but through awareness of what a bad diet does to your body over time. One would think that hospital staff who are surrounded by disease and illness every day already know this, but perhaps the very nature of the job has made them immune. Cutting back on what is unhealthy should obviously be promoted and all hospital staff should be actively encouraged to have regular physical check ups (if this is not done already). I would even suggest that nutritionists and counsellors who can explain the connection between over-eating and emotional issues be made available to staff.
The turning point when it comes to changing one's diet is not the same for everyone – sometimes it's a very unflattering photo, sometimes it's the alarming news that one's cholesterol and blood pressure are sky high and sometimes it is learning that a close relative has been stricken by disease because of their unhealthy lifestyle. I very much doubt, however, that a blanket ban will do the trick. We should be aiming for moderation, and learning how to choose a healthy dish from the menu rather than a less healthy one. Maybe we will not choose the healthy option every day, but even choosing it once in a while, while cutting back on the junk food, is already a step in the right direction and more do-able over a long period of time, rather than trying to apply abrupt, quick fixes.
Above all, I would leave the chocolate where it is. Life's too short not to enjoy a piece of chocolate now and then.

There are only nine days left in which to nominate for the 2012 Women in ICT Awards (WIICTA) so what better time than now to get your entries in!
This marks the inaugural year for the awards, which recognise and celebrate female excellence in the ICT channel.
And while the industry has made great strides, the ongoing issue of female to male parity across different business units is a major issue.
A recent Australian Computer Society (ACS) 2012 Employment survey of 2250 ICT professionals highlighted that 32.1 per cent admitted to encountering some form of 'gender' or age-based discrimination when applying for ICT positions.
In light of the disparity, many IT organisations today are identifying, investing and celebrating diversity as part of their corporate ethics -- further cementing the significance of these awards.
The six award categories are: Achievement; Rising Star; Entrepreneur; Innovation; Technical; and Community.
Nominations can be submitted for a colleague, a business partner or for yourself. For full details and to submit a nomination, please visit ARN's website.

Problems like old tattoos, age spots, and acne scars can make it hard to feel confident and attractive. The Picosure® laser treatment at VM Cosmetic Surgery can non-invasively treat all of these problems and more in short office visits. Dr. Edwin Choi helps patients in the Los Angeles, Garden Grove, and Diamond Bar areas look and feel beautiful. Make an appointment via the online tool now.
Picosure is both highly powerful and very customizable. This laser treatment can remove or reduce:
Dr. Choi holds the Picosure device to deliver controlled bursts of light in the treatment areas. The short bursts, one trillionth of one second each in length, move past the top layer of your skin to reach the pigment or tissue they need to target.
When the laser light reaches the dermis layer of skin, it starts breaking apart the tissue or pigment to destroy it. This prompts your body to make new collagen, which encourages healing and helps smooth depressions in your skin.
Picosure is superior to other lasers for several reasons.
Picosure is gentle; while other lasers often have to break your top layer of skin to access the dermis, Picosure won't break or harm it in any way.
Picosure uses the acoustic wave method of pigment and tissue breakdown. This method is so powerful that the tissue and ink fragments shatter into miniscule near-invisible particles. Your body absorbs the particles and then metabolizes them out normally.
A major advantage of Picosure is that it's suited for all skin types. Other lasers often cause problems like excess pigmentation in Asian skin and darker skin types, but Picosure is highly effective and safe for all skin.
It depends on a few different factors, including the condition and the severity of the problem areas. The majority of issues require 5-10 treatment sessions. Dr. Choi will create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
You don't need any downtime at all with Picosure treatment. If you'd like, you can even schedule your treatment during your lunch hour. Treatment sessions are normally scheduled around six weeks apart so Dr. Choi can evaluate your progress at each appointment.
If you want a solution for acne scars, old tattoo ink, or skin pigmentation, schedule a Picosure appointment with Dr. Choi via the online tool now.

The Jackson City Council http://file:///home/chronos/u-4aff7f9704056d01fdb5775c2ae8713b732d305a/Downloads/PRESS%20RELEASE--%20CITY%20COUNCIL%20PRESENTS%20COMPREHENSIVE%20BUDGET%20PLAN.pdf">outlined more than $7 million in savings in order to avoid Mayor Tony Yarber's proposal to furlough city workers and raise local property taxes to fill a budget hole.
Yarber proposed a one-day-per-month furlough for full-time employees and a property tax increase of 8 percent to shore up a projected $15 million deficit.
Council President Melvin Priester Jr. presented an alternative, a 10-point plan consisting mostly of freezing job vacancies that are budgeted for but currently unfilled in addition to making other staffing cuts.
Council members say they're double-checking the numbers, and will provide final totals later. The plan, the details of which were outlined in a public meeting this afternoon at city hall, includes:
• Reducing the Jackson Zoo's requested allocation in half, from $1.2 million to $600,000
• Reducing certain reserve expenses, including $1.5 million for an expense related to the Jackson Redevelopment Authority that Priester said would not require assistance from the city.
• Freeze more than $2 million slotted for the police, fire, and public works departments.
• Cutting about $494,000 from city hall salaries, including: $200,000 from the city clerk's office, which the council oversees; $200,000 in constituent services, which the mayor's office oversees, $86,000 from the chief-administrative officer's office; and 5 percent from the salaries of city council members. (City council members earn $25,000 per year; the council president receives an extra $2,000.)
• Freeze $120,000 in unfilled positions at municipal court.
• Reducing expenditures on outside consultants by at least $115,000
• Reducing expenses on software and equipment
• Reducing travel, dues and memberships by $95,000
• Reducing expenditures on emergency contracts
• Reducing the Department of Parks and Recreation budget, including for maintenance at the city's golf courses.
In addition, the council plans to introduce plans to increase revenue, including for $20 million in outstanding water and sewer bills.
Ward 1 Councilman Ashby Foote has proposed using JPD to collect delinquent water bills and splitting the revenue with the department. Foote also suggested turning over management of the golf courses to the Jackson State golf program and letting an organization take over running the Russell C. Davis Planetarium.
Budget Committee Chairman and Ward 4 Councilman De'Keither Stamps said he wants the city to get into the asphalt manufacturing and water bottling businesses. He added that the city should charge the state for providing JPD security to the state fair in October. The city has unsuccessfully made the same request of the state over the years.
Yarber's office released a statement this evening: "The Administration will review the City Council's budget recommendations and consider the proposals going forward. Council members have verbally proposed measures that will ultimately result in mass layoffs, which the Administration had hoped to avoid. I am deeply concerned about the impact on public safety, mainly because council members have proposed significant reductions in the Police Department and the Fire Department. The council has also proposed drastic cuts to the Department of Public Works and this comes at a time when the department has begun making progress on street resurfacing and other road issues."

i just realised that i actually used a skill i learned at university today
university taught me something i used in a real life scenario
if you had have told past me that i would get so dedicated to a passion project that i made an ERD for it, i would say "really? fuck"
hmm i could either work on more frontend stuff or try to convert this ERD into SQL
i might work on the SQL stuff since it's been a while
known issue: fedibooks will stop working after 4,294,967,295 people connect their accounts
looking over this SQL is writing is making me feel very Powerful
i could change fedibooks to only allow one user per instance and all it would take is a single word
i could cause privacy issues and wasted disk space by just deleting one rule
i could change a single column's data type and break pleroma compatibility
SQL is actually good imo
i actually kinda like working with databases, i just don't like database theory
i fixed up some of the issues with the entity relationship diagram and it's looking pretty solid now
fedibooks can store (2^64)-1 posts
that is a lot of posts!!
i'd probably run out of disk space before getting anywhere near running out of post IDs
a difficult thing to determine is how high should i set the post length limit
my instance has it set to 65535 to ensure i never run into issues, masto defaults to 500, pleroma defaults to 5000
i guess this is supposed to be a microblogging platform so it doesn't make too much sense to allow them to be overly large, and that does technically expose me to some jerk filling my DB with posts that are gigabytes long
65535 it is
the frontend stuff is getting along well
as for the backend stuff, well, there's more SQL than python, and i haven't even hit 100 lines yet, so
okay, the frontend stuff is getting close to being ready. when fedibooks first goes live, some features won't be ready yet. the basic stuff will all work just fine, though!
the backend stuff is gonna be a lot harder than the frontend, but i'll hopefully have it done before too long!
also worth noting: the whole site works without javascript
there are a few features that will require it, but so far it's 100% JS free
which is nice because i'm bad at JS
i like javascript and i think it's important, but i also like avoiding it where possible to make everything as lightweight as possible
what do you typically call the "@firstname.lastname@example.com" thing? i call it a handle
achievement unlocked
the SQL is (probably) finished and it is beautiful
one of the best parts of webdev is having to implement input validation on both the client and the server
hmm i wonder how i implemented input sanitisation in my last project
...oh! i didn't!
well time to shut cg.lynnesbian.space down forever
i can be a real dingus sometimes
wait a minute never mind i overreacted it DOES sanitise inputs
okay curious greg is back up so you can use it again now
even though it's really buggy and shit
the signup page works! 0u0
things are coming along well
how strange that some instances don't seem to work properly
fedibooks authentication is working
the bot creation process is done now. it doesn't handle errors gracefully yet, but apart from that, it's ready!
this means you can now create a bot with fedibooks 0u0
now for the learning from posts part
i passed 100 commits
things are coming along very well! you can create a bot and add accounts for it to learn from. there's a few basic things left, and then it's on to the actual ebooks stuff - downloading and making posts!!
unfortunately, the bots are incapable of self improvement
531 (significant) lines of HTML, 328 lines of python, 174 lines of CSS, 76 lines of SQL, 1 tired bune
comparitively, mstdn-ebooks is "just" 387 lines of python
according to this arbitrary chart i'm about halfway done for fedibooks' first release
it's been a while i last updated this thread, because it's also been a while since i did any major work on fedibooks. i've kinda pushed myself way too hard on it and i'm taking it more slowly now.
that said, i do have some new features to show off! firstly, fedibooks is now capable of scraping user posts. this is one of the key steps towards implementing full ebooks functionality. the first screenshot shows that fedibooks has successfully scraped all 63 of this account's posts.
secondly, there's now a nifty little bug report form for those of us without github accounts, shown in the second screenshot.
fedibooks is now capable of:
. authenticating with mastodon/pleroma
. scraping user posts
. generating and submitting its own posts
this means it can do nearly everything mstdn-ebooks can, and all that's left is replying!!
uh oh, looks like you're out of gems! your ebooks bot will stop posting until you have at least 3 more.
[ wait for gems to recharge (3h27m) ]
[ watch 3 ads ]
[ buy pack of 15 gems ($4.99) ]
there are a few minor features left now, and one major feature - replying. once that's done, fedibooks will be complete.
unfortunately, testing the reply functionality requires me to actually deploy fedibooks to a website, since i can't test it with localhost. this means it's going to be a bit of a hassle to implement.
however, i've looked at what needs to be done for reply functionality, and it seems pretty easy with web push - mastodon will automatically send a request to fedibooks with some info, which fedibooks can then reply to. it should be pretty simple 0u0
i want to implement reply functionality and bot settings, and then i'll release the first version of fedibooks for all to use!
i'm really excited for this. this is the first time i've ever actually managed to finish a major project! i often start things that are way too ambitious and never manage to finish them, but this time i did it!!
this is the screen that appears when you try to do something i haven't made yet
i'm about to start testing the reply functionality for fedibooks 0u0
fedibooks is now live, by the way! i've disabled signups for now, but in the mean time, you can explore the site: https://fedibooks.com/
well i've run into a bit of an issue...
the bot creation process works on my small laptop and pet's laptop, but not on my big laptop. i have no idea why, it's the same code and everything, and my small laptop has the same firefox addons as the big one. i'm reading over the code and i really don't see how this bug works... and why does it only happen on one laptop??
okay i found the issue
this specific install of firefox wants the favicon.ico, and when it can't find it, it requests fedibooks' home page
because your browser is requesting the home page, fedibooks assumes you've finished creating the bot, and resets your progress counter thingy to 1.
this breaks multi-step forms.
okay!! fedibooks is now live and in what you might call early access.
i don't know how well it's going to hold up, because i haven't been able to do much serious testing on it, but i guess we'll all find out together!!
okay now it's up for real
nervous bun,
@lynnesbian super proud of you! gosh!
@lynnesbian congratulations! What a fantastic service
@lynnesbian Congrats!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@lynnesbian i know something else that will be coming soon
re: lewd?
re: lewd?
@lynnesbian my paycheck!
re: lewd?
@CyclopsCaveman oooh
its not lewd
@lynnesbian :p
@lynnesbian coming sune
@lynnesbian hmm
I might actually sign up for a fedibooks bot...
can't wait!
what's self hosting going to be like compared to e-books? easier? harder? about the same?
@mal it's gonna be a lot easier! you won't need to download or install everything, the whole thing is done through the website. everything from replies to post frequency can be set without editing config files or anything like that. it'll be hosted on my server, so you don't need to keep your laptop running 24/7
oh ok, I misunderstood, I though since you were discontinuing the patreon thing that fedibooks was a self hosted thing, gotcha, this is cool though! I'm really glad it sounds to be nearly ready for prime time!
@lynnesbian try it on another computer and see what happens
@lynnesbian dumb question... Does it work in incognito mode on all 3?
@lynnesbian good catch that's an odd one.
@lynnesbian can you just.... give it a favicon.ico?
@00dani @lynnesbian favicon.png should also work
@lynnesbian if you haven't found out yet, the Right Way to solve this is to make your forms POST and check for POST requests - this is essentially why different methods exist (GET requests should in theory never change server side state)
@halcy it is a post form, but the progress is tracked by a cookie
@lynnesbian good luck with the fix, whatever you end up doing!
@lynnesbian http get shouldn't have side effects. find some ofher way to advance the counter
@lynnesbian that is, if you've got a multistep process, it should only advance with a form post. that's application state change, and having that anywhere near GET always causes problems similar to yours because pretty much all software assumes GET is safe to do and won't change application state.
@lynnesbian this story is a classic:
@lynnesbian uhh
@espectalll should be fixed!
@lynnesbian it is, thanks!
@lynnesbian my wife is goddamn incredible
@CornishRepublicanArmy @lynnesbian we love you too! 0u0
@lynnesbian That's, great, I'll have to try it out after work.
@lynnesbian I'm getting a 502 bad gateway
@SunSaint should be fixed now
@lynnesbian ok thank you thank you thank you
@lynnesbian i believe in you
@lynnesbian here is more bun for calm
@Mooncake so SMOL
@lynnesbian i like that buns come in
big old elder
and theres not really much in between
@skelltan it should work fine, emal isn't implemented yet
@skelltan it should work fine, yeah

The Easiest Option for Selling Your House
In many regions in the world today, people are selling and buying houses, and there are many motivations for selling. When you inherit a house from your parents, and you do not want living it, you can decide to sell, but also, you may also want to sell because of transfers related to your job or your schooling. In the process of selling your house, it can be tough especially if you have never done it before. In order to ensure that this does not happen, it would be important to get help from the people that understand how it's supposed to be done. You can decide to use realtors who are companies that allow you to list your house on their platform and after that, buyers will come and make offers. Realtor companies will allow you to choose the best offer from the different buyers that are interested.However, many limitations are associated with all of these methods, and that is why you have to choose the best one possible. The best method arguably for selling houses would be to use companies that would want to buy the house from you and pay by using cash.
These homebuying companies are investors, and they have been at the forefront of helping many home sellers. The benefits brought by using this method of selling houses are so many, and therefore, you should be motivated. These companies have been known to help people to save time and energy in the same way. Real estate investors always give you that offer of dealing with the necessary paperwork so that you can have an easier time by having all the work done for you. Most of these companies do not follow very many complicated procedures to sell the house or to buy the house from you, they completed within a short time.Some authorities regulate house in many cities in the world today; the companies know how to follow the different regulations and simplify them. After accepting the offer that they will give you for the value of your house, the companies will be able to make the payments within a short time. In the end, this is going to allow you to sort out any financial obligations you had.
Regardless of how old or ugly your house may be, the companies will never request you to repair, they handle the renovations of their own. You should be very motivated to work with these companies to sell the house.

Introduction: Homemade Ghillie Armor
An easy and cheap way to make an armored ghillie suit using things you can find around the house/yard and put together.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Get Materials Together
Things you'll need:
1. A shawl or poncho - closet/thrift store
2. "Armor" - Can be ceramic tiles, metal squares, hard plastic squares, whatever's around
3. 3M Super 77 adhesive in my case, because I used tiles
4. Burlap sacks/sheets
5. Netting, I used plastic bird netting.
Optional: Dye for coloring your burlap to match your environment
Step 2: Attach the Armor to the Clothing
Take the material you are using as armor and have it cover the clothing in sections, but leave spaces in between so the clothing can still be flexible and you can maneuver in.
I sprayed the adhesive onto the clothing and onto the bottom of the tiling and left it until it became tacky before placing and applying pressure. I left this out to dry for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Attach the Netting Over the Armor
I cut out sections of the netting and attached it to the clothing using safety pins and paper clips.
Step 4: Pull Apart the Burlap
Take your Burlap sheets or bags and start pulling apart the strings, you can cut the strings to different lengths depending on your environment, for dried overgrown grass, go longer, for a more choppy forest grass look go shorter. You will need a lot of Burlap to cover the entire thing so this makes this step the longest and most grueling part. Just power through this and you're more than halfway through.
Step 5: OPTIONAL: Dye Your Burlap
You can dye your Burlap colors based on the environment you want to use this in, white/gray for snowy, greens for forest, etc. Since I live in a desert and I'd mostly be using this in places with Dried Grass, I'll stick with the color it already is.
Step 6: Start Tying the Burlap
Take bunches of Burlap and tying it to the netting, I did no specific amount per, or specific pattern I just did what felt alright and what made it look good/covered. Work your way across the back first as it is the most time consuming. Try using different length Burlap strands to make it more random and disorderly.
Step 7: Just Keep Tying
Now cut out netting for the front and start tying it there too.
Step 8: Testing!
You're finished! Now just to reassure you I've recorded myself getting shot, putting myself at risk for your enjoyment. As expected the armor worked and all I could feel was a little pink on my shoulder.

Excellent idea!
Fun idea :) I've seen some people make brigandine plates from pickle buckets too.
Wow I didn't even know it had a name! Brigandine, hm, surprised I'd never heard of it. I just did this for an Engineering project due tomorrow never figured someone would actually look at it! Thanks!
I'm a rennie and it's a popular way to make your first set of armor for people just getting into fighting. It's much cheaper than plate. :)
Also yes Pickle Buckets would be much more efficient in hindsight but on a quick glance it seems to be too expensive for the "trash to treasure" contest I had to apply for.
This is mad fire b!

Controller Support Broken (linux)
sashapony posted a topic in Bug ReportsHi. I as many other users have a distate for windows but greatly love the game. my problem is project zomboid controller support for linux has always been broken throughout the entirety of the game development and it saddens me because i cant play multiplayer split screen period... on ANY version of linux whether it be Ubuntu, Arch, Etc... I have looked into several forums about adjusting the config file for the controller but thats Futile as the config file is incompatible with linux controller setups and i just dont know what to do. Can you PLEASE FIX CONTROLLERS!? I want to enjoy this game on the couch in my living room and i cant without having to grab a steam link and my mouse and keyboard... which is not comfortable at all... I have tried using an xbox360, xbox one, ps4, and steam controller and they all have the exact same issue. left stick can only move left and right, the right thumbstick can only look left. to move down you have to hit Start because for some reason the game sees your START button as an Axis for movement.... and Neither trigger works. In the config file there is an option to rebind things sure but you cant though.... the most i could do is make the analog sticks work correctly but start button is forced to be broken... and even after fixing the right thumbsticks... i cant look around without swinging my weapon if i look left or shoving if i look right. The Controller is completely unplayable on linux it also doesnt seem to matter what controller drivers are used either. Please if there is a fix that i can do.... or anything that can be done to fix this issue please reply back

Lancaster librarian's account of journey from couch to triathlon ironman wins award
Andy's book about his journey from – as he says - overweight couch potato to competing in Ironman triathlons beat off stiff competition from eleven other finalists to take the award which was voted for by the public. The awards took place at a gala reception in London.
"I'm absolutely delighted and somewhat shocked to win this award." Said Andy. "I'm never likely to win a race, so thanks to all that voted for me."
His book "Can't Swim, Can't Ride, Can't Run: My Triathlon Journey from Common Man to Ironman" follows his attempts to complete an Ironman triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile swim and a 112 mile bike ride followed by a marathon.
He weighed 18 stone when he began training and could not even swim. But since his first triathlon in 2006, he has run, swum and cycled thousands of miles and competed in events all over the world.
Andy said: "When I first went to the swimming pool, I splashed about and swam like a rock but thanks to a good book, some sage advice and intense practice, I completed my first race several weeks later.
"I fell in love with cycling despite my lack of balance, an aversion to hills, not knowing how to fix a puncture and being adamant that tight Lycra was a look that didn't work on me".
You can find out more about Andy, his story and his book at http://ironholgs.wordpress.com/ and on his facebook page.

New musical #ZoologicalSociety, written by Vikki Stone and Kate Mulgrew, gets a well-timed concept album release
"You've been here for one day mate, I've been here for years"
With a sense of impeccable timing, new musical #ZoologicalSociety launches with a concept album. The plan was to accompany the digital release with a live concert performance at BEAM 2020, the UK's leading showcase of new British musical theatre but whilst that obviously isn't happening, the album is now available for our delectation, thanks to Joe and Nikki Davison at Auburn Jam Music who produced, recorded, mixed and mastered the music.
The first of a series of entirely original musical commissions from Northampton's Royal & Derngate, Vikki Stone and Katie Mulgrew's #ZoologicalSociety takes its simple concept – animals going through the same societal pressures as humans – and fashions a rather winning musical comedy out of it.

Last year, IFC Midnight's release of Baskin (2015) turned out to be a sleeper hit, both in the festival circuit and shortly thereafter on Netflix.
Director Can Evrenol created one of the bloodiest films we've seen in years, he re-popularized the term "splatterfest." It made him a young "one-to-watch" director in the process.
His follow-up "Housewife" looks just as mind-bending and different as his previous. The trailer features a weird collage of seemingly unrelated images, blood, and some sex.
We aren't sure what to expect from Evrenol's latest entry, but it certainly has us wondering how he is going to top his inaugural full-length feature.

Introduction: Fume Extractor for Soldering
Welcome to the Fume Extractor where no fume is left floating off to who know where.
This is a disclaimer I am not responsible for anything please do this project at your own risk!
I got this idea from DroneBot Workshop check him out!
Download schematic ( it's my website) tag under Fume Extractor
Need some helping hands?
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Step 1 (Materials)
This is a disclaimer I am not responsible for anything that might happen to you from this project (DIY) please do this project at your own risk!
You will need:
One 200mm fan (Make sure your fan works with the power supply before you build anything!!!)
One Power Supply with the same out put rating as your 200mm fan input!
One Rocker Switch
Chunk of 2x4
Charcoal filter or air filter!
Some wire which you can get from power supply's
Soldering Iron
Heat shrink
Paint (any color you like :) )
Step 2: Step 2 (Cutting the 2x4 and Assembly )
You will need to cut your 2x4 of course.
Please note that your fan might be a little different in size so please double check that this frame will fit.
2 chunks cut at (H,W,L) 10" x 1 1/4" x 1 1/2"
One piece cut at (H,W,L) 2 1/2" x 5 7/8" x 1 1/2"
2 pieces (H,W,L) 5/8", 5 7/8" , 1 1/2"
and 2 pieces (H, W, L) 5/8", 4 5/8", 1 1/2"
Next Attach your base wood ( the 2 10" x 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" and one 2 1/2" x 5 7/8" x 1 1/2" ) together with screws make sure to cut the holes for your cable, switch and your cable to the fan. More info in the schematic picture.
To build the frame for your 200mm fan glue three of the 5/8" thick pieces together then add two little pieces off wood at the bottom of the frame to keep the fan in the middle. After the glue is dry slide the fan in to place and screw the last 5/8" piece of wood on top. So you can pull it apart if you have to!
Put your fan frame in middle of the stand and install it 1" from the top .
Next Put two screws on both sides of your unit at the same height threw the 10" pieces and into your fan frame about 2 1/4" from the top should do. Sorry that the schematic does not show this but this should be simple enough.
Make a frame out of wire or elastic bands at the back of your fan as you see in the picture and screw that in. Note you might need to drill out one or two holes because of the small pieces of wood we added earlier might get in the way.
Step 3: Step 3 (Fitting and Painting)
Make sure that everything fits and runs fan, switch, power supply etc, and then pull it apart.
Paint it any color you like let it dry and resemble it.
Now you are done and it should look like this hope you enjoyed this DIY let me know if there should be anything else that should be made!

That's what he said: 10 best NFL quotes from Week 1
Just like that, the first week of the 2019 season is over.
But there was no shortage of interesting remarks as injuries, botched kicks and overtime dominated the headlines.
From postgame press conferences to next-day media availabilities, here are the 10 best Week 1 quotes from players and coaches around the NFL:
— He doesn't play anymore, but Hall of Famer Brett Favre gave a colorful analysis of the Antonio Brown drama that unfolded this weekend: "Now, I'll be honest with you: If you watched the game the other night, they don't need him. In fact, I think it almost creates a problem by trying to figure out how to keep him happy and play him and (keep him) quiet. So, if you say, 'Well, let's just put him in on third downs' and that doesn't work, you're trying to, as Mike Holmgren used to say, 'It's like trying to pound sand up a flea's a—.' Pardon my french."
— Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles had no doubt his injury was serious when he was tackled: "I knew right when I hit the ground that something was wrong," he told reporters after the game. "I felt it. ... All I saw was two red jerseys in my face, I hit the ground and heard a crack. Going into the sidelines and getting checked ... I just saw the play for the first time before I came in here. It's unfortunate, but at the same time I'm trusting the good Lord."
— Titans coach Mike Vrabel had a sense of humor about a Sunday incident in which a Browns fan dumped beer on cornerback Logan Ryan: "I would tell them not to waste beer. That's a bad thing to do."
— The Browns proved to be an overhyped bust, but quarterback Baker Mayfield isn't panicked: "Everybody is going to throw this in the trash. I think that is good," he told reporters Sunday. "We just need to rally together. Don't flinch. It is Game 1 of a long season. To get to where we want to go, you are going to have bumps in the road. How to react to it, we are going to come together. We are going to push forward. We are not going to let it define us and let's see what type of men we have in this locker room. I am pretty sure I have a good idea about it."
— Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's thoughts on Brown joining the Patriots: "Whatever."
— Patriots coach Bill Belichick on the "Patriot Way" and how he sets the tone for the culture: "Yeah, I don't know that I've ever used that term. I'm not really sure what that is either. I appreciate you asking about it though, but I don't know. It's a good question."
— It was reported that multiple Dolphins players requested trades after the team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens, but coach Brian Flores hadn't heard anything of it: "I can't really speak to the accuracy of that one," Flores told reporters. "We haven't received any information like that."
— Broncos linebacker Von Miller was disappointed that he didn't reach Raiders quarterback Derek Carr once: "I didn't get to him once. Not even a quarterback hit so I'm disappointed in myself on an individual level. They were throwing the ball quick but we have to find a way to get there."
— Despite a short week, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is looking forward to facing former teammate Gerald McCoy when his team visits the Panthers: "He is definitely a great influence to me and a wonderful, wonderful human being."
— Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is desperate to just stay healthy the rest of this season: "I'm getting tired of being hurt. I hate being hurt."

Inspired by our exhibition Inscribed: The Craft of Cutting Letters, join lettering artist Mark Brooks for a workshop exploring the foundation of script; the starting point for practising classic calligraphy and inscribing metal, wood and glass. During the evening you will have the opportunity to develop calligraphy skills, using a broad edged calligraphy pen to form beautiful letters and flowing script.
No previous experience necessary. Pens, inks and materials provided.
Who is the tutor?
Mark Brooks first picked up a broad edged calligraphy pen in 1975, aged 9, and has been fascinated by letterforms ever since. What began as a schoolboy hobby developed into a lifetimes work as a professional lettering artist working across a range of materials and methods including carved stone, pen and paper, ceramics, graphic design, digital and printmaking. Mark teaches calligraphy, and has presented lectures to calligraphy societies in London and Tokyo. His art has taken him to many places including Mexico, Russia, Monaco and Cyprus. In his early forties after completing thousands of lettering commissions, an interest in art history led Mark to study Fine Art at Canterbury Christchurch University where a new passion for painting emerged. Since then his 'Trapezia' series of paintings has been exhibited in Cork Street, London, The Menier Gallery SW1, and the Sidney Cooper Gallery in Canterbury, and have sold widely to collectors in the US, UK, Brazil and Hong Kong.

Enactus: University of Pretoria National Champions
Sage South Africa's recent involvement as opening round sponsor in the Enactus South African National Competition was a true celebration of the company's social investment strategy and its commitment to education, the promotion of an entrepreneurial spirit and its overall vision to improve the country and economy as a whole.
Enactus is an international non-profit organisation that connects students with academic and business leaders to assist in developing a sustainable entrepreneurial culture in communities.
The organisation runs an annual competition which encourages students from 37 countries to develop and implement sustainable community outreach projects. With the support and encouragement of their faculty advisors and a local business advisory board, Enactus students apply business concepts to develop community outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need.
Through their Enactus experience the students gain leadership, communication, teamwork and other success skills. Also of note is their development of self-confidence, the business mentoring they gain through their advisory boards, and the networking opportunities through their connection with business leaders at national and international competitions. The result is a different type of graduate, who is business-minded, success oriented with a very strong work ethic.
The South African competition was held mid-July and 25 higher education institutes participated by presenting their projects and its results to a panel of judges, including business leaders and representatives from Sage SA.
"It is the third consecutive year for our company to be involved in the competition and it is a privilege to be part of an initiative which changes the lives of people in need. The dedication of the students and the quality of their projects were incredibly inspiring," says Nozipho Tshabalala, Organisational Development Consultant for Sage SA and also a judge at the event.
This year's winner was the team from the University of Pretoria and they will compete in the Enactus World Cup Competition from 29 September to 1 October in Cancun, Mexico. The team presented two projects, one focusing on securing a sustainable stream of income for the St. John's Home in Johannesburg, supporting 600 orphaned and vulnerable children. Their second project, called Kickbax, empowered a budding entrepreneur to apply his artistry skills and create job opportunities for his community members.
"This winning team's project presentations were clear, crisp, focused and effectively incorporated all the required business concepts. Their passion and team spirit was a definite outcome of the entrepreneurial spirit they have instilled in the communities they impacted on," says Tshabalala.
"Enactus values Sage SA's support and commitment to making a difference in the lives of students and the community. As an organisation, we are proud of the South African leg of the competition and it surely gives us hope that our students are making a real impact in their communities and are changing the world one step at a time. We are also extremely excited about the outcome of the global event in which the University of Pretoria will be representing South Africa," says Enactus South Africa CEO, Letitia de Wet.
"We would like to wish these students and their mentors all of the best in preparing for the final round," concludes Tshabalala.

Onyx has been on a rampage in 2015 releasing close to eight different e-readers in China, Europe and Russia. The company does limited releases of a bunch of different models in order to appeal to different price points. The company has just released a very high-end model, the Darwin 2.
This Darwin 2 e-reader features a six inch e-ink Carta screen with a resolution of 1440 x 1080 and 300 PPI. This model has a capacitive touchscreen display and also employs manual page turn buttons, a feature most other companies have abandoned.
Underneath the hood is a 1 GHZ dual-core processor and 512MB RAM. There is 8 GB of internal memory and an option to expand it up to 32 GB via the Micro SD card.
Most of the e-readers that Onyx has released this year run Google Android and this model is no different. It is running 4.2 and even has Google Play loaded on it. It goes without saying that this is a pirated version of Play, which is why its marketed to Russia.
The Darwin 2 is available now for 12,990 rubles, which is the equivalent of $199 US.
Michael Kozlowski is the Editor in Chief of Good e-Reader. He has been writing about audiobooks and e-readers for the past ten years. His articles have been picked up by major and local news sources and websites such as the CBC, CNET, Engadget, Huffington Post and the New York Times.
