Client:The Juilliard School
- Sass, JS, Drupal8, Gulp, Twig, Vagrant, WCAG 2.0
I worked with Digital Pulp as a lead front-end developer and accessibility consultant/developer for the redesign of Juilliard.edu. The new site would align with a major overhaul of the brand's identity and web presence. Working in Drupal 8, I built modular Twig files, and organinzed design patterns with Sass and Javascript. I implemented accessibility features to meet WCAG 2.0, and wrote documentation for accessibility guidelines that can be followed for most web development projects. The site was designed against 4 main breakpoints, with touch devices in mind as well.
Client:Vanderbilt Business School
- Sass, JS, Middleman, Gulp, Wordpress
I worked as a lead front-end developer wth Digital Pulp to deliver about 30 page templates to Vanderbilt Business School for Wordpress theme integration. We used the static site generator, Middleman, to architect the application asset files, splitting markup and CSS into reusable components and partials. We used a style guide to indentify design patterns in typography and grid layout to compose an organized system that would be shared among developers. I worked on devloping all user interfaces, including main navigation, carousels, tabs, and forms for all screen sizes and devices.
Client: NYU SPS
- Sass, JS, AEM, Responsive Design
I worked with Digital Pulp to help develop the front-end experience for NYU's School of Professional Stuides, a responsive site that incorporated a shopping cart for purchasing classes. I authored many of the site templates, using Bourbon and Neat for streamlining Sass, as well as maintaining an organized grid system. The site is built on Adobe Experience Manager, and uses the Angular.js framework.
Client: Columbia University | Mailman School of Public Health
- HTML5, Sass, JS, Responsive Design, Drupal
With Digital Pulp, I coded many of the front-end templates for Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, a responsive site built in Drupal. I authored many of the site templates, using Sass, and worked within the Drupal environment updating modules and content. The site has been selected as an Official Honoree in The 20th Annual Webby Awards in the Mobile: School/University category.
Client: The Forward
- HTML5, Sass, JS, Responsive Design
I partnered with Digital Pulp to develop their new designs for The Forward, one of the oldest newspapers in the United States. The Forward, founded in 1897 as a Yiddish daily, once outsold the New York Times. It launched as an English weekly in 1990, and has continued its world and regional news coverage mixed with Jewish culture and opinion. I coded many of the templates in the Middleman framework, including the homepage, li pages, articles, interactive slideshows, video galleries, and search results. The site uses a fluid responsive design with 4 breakpoints, optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Client: Understood
- HTML5, Sass, JS, Responsive Design, Accessibility (WAI-ARIA compliance)
- 2015 Webby Award Winner:
Best Family/Parenting Website
I worked with Digital Pulp to develop this comprehensive, responsive, and easy-to-use website that gives parents customized information about their child's learning and attention challenges. Backed by 15 non-profit organizations, the site provides many helpful articles, resources, and community areas. I was one of a few front-end developers on this project, and spent many months developing templates, global modules, and interactive elements, all with responsive considerations for use across all major devices. I am proud to have been a part of this website.
Client: Dartmouth College
- HTML5, Sass, JS, Responsive Design
- SEO, Accessibility (WAI-ARIA compliance)
Digital Pulp asked me to help them create the new responsive experience for Dartmouth College's website. More than twenty front-end templates were delivered to Dartmouth's backend team for integration. Each template was designed with up to four breakpoints on a responsive grid, as well as UI requirements for desktop and touch devices. The site had multiple reviews for WAI-ARIA compliance, so we thoroughly tested each template with screen readers. Many JQuery-based modules were created, such as animated, swipeable slideshows with adjusted layout based on screen size. Tempaltes were developed for and tested on many tablet and mobile devices.
Client: New York-Presbyterian
- Creative Consulting, Full Site Build
- JQuery, Vimeo API, Responsive Design
Partnering with ad agency, Munn Rabôt,
I developed the wesbite for New York Presbyterian Hospital's video-rich "Amazing Things" website. The site features the stories of patients who had everything to lose until they found the doctors who ultimately saved their lives. The homepage features a "JQuery masonry" interface that animates and reacts to the viewer's browser. The wesbite is optimized for screen size using responsive design to give the most optimal experience whether using a PC, mobile device or iPad. The site is also optimized for iOS retina display. -
Client: Samsung
- X/HTML, CSS, JQuery
- Facebook, Twitter API Integration
- Interface Development and Design
When Samsung's US advertising partners, The Barbarian Group and Cheil, launched a redesigned Samsung.com, a few aspects of the site were not performing well. I was brought in to help optimize the site to a point where the overall user experience would meet client expectations. We brought more responsiveness to interactive elements, and cleaned up much of the front-end code base. On the homepage, we re-integrated social media API's, and removed many unnecessary HTTP requests that were causing sluggish load times. I developed a prototype for a horizontal scrolling interface for the homepage's hero area. We made many improvements in presentation and interaction, as well as under the hood, resulting in success.
Client: CenturyLink
- Full Front-end Site Build
- CSS, JQuery, SEO, Accessibility
- Responsive Design
Partnering with digital production shop, SolarSilk Interactive, I developed all presentation layer code for CenturyLink's Small-Medium Business website. After a bunch of mergers and acquisitions, CenturyLink is now the third-largest telecommunications company in the United States, behind AT&T and Verizon. Over sixty pages were developed and tested for all modern browsers before delivering to the client's backend team. Part of the challenge was building a clean and standardized codebase on top of a messy legacy website, but it was met handily. The site was developed for SEO, as well as 508 Compliance. Landing pages using responsive design were built as well, including centurylinkcloudoffer.com
Clients: Jeep, Activision
facebook.com/jeep (contest ended)
- Full Front-end Site Build
- HTML5, CSS, JQuery
Partnering with social media marketing agency, Affinitive, and SapientNitro, I developed all presentation layer code for the Jeep Wrangler/Call of Duty sweepstakes promotion on Facebook. The grand prize is a first-off-the-line Call of Duty branded Jeep Wrangler! The application included jQuery animations and game components to mimic the look and feel of Call of Duty. The challenge was to create an engaging experience that would feel like a video game, without using Flash. SapientNitro handed off an amazing design that we were able to make come to life. The sweepstakes had over 25,000 entries in the opening weeks.
Client: Kiboo
- Full Front-end Site Build
- X/HTML, CSS, JQuery
Partnering with New York-based agency, Flint, I developed all presentation layer coding for Kiboo, a start-up banking website for kids. It was a large, complex build with advanced interactive elements, such as tab systems and sliding menus. The design was intricate and it was necessary to stay pixel-perfect before handing off to our back-end development partners. Instead of using JQuery plug-ins, we hand-coded all JS functions to make for a more seamless integration. All HTML was verified to comply with current web standards and standard accessibility guidelines. Kiboo is now in the process of finding a bank partner in order to launch the working site. You can view the website in demo mode, and also watch a video of Kiboo's founder, Lisa Halpern, demonstrating the site flow.
Client: Komar
- Full Front-end Site Build
- X/HTML, CSS, JQuery, PHP
Partnering with New York-based agency, Flint, I developed all presentation layer code for Komar, a global apparel company representing over 100 brands and a network of factories and distribution centers in 14 different countries. The corporate site was expanded into a WordPress theme in order for the client to easily update content, including photography. The portfolio li used smart interaction design to showcase the company's many brands, licenses and partners JQuery was used to set up a large-scale menu system with sliding frames, tabbed navigation, and tooltips. I also developed an intranet website, "Inside Komar," a training site for brand education. Both websites proved to be successful key components of the company's full integrated rebranding effort.
Client: Mom365
- CSS, JQuery
- Ning Social Network API
- Interface Design and Development
Mom365 (the largest provider of in-hospital newborn portraits in the United States), asked me to re-style their community website. I was tasked with learning the technology behind Ning, a large-scale social networking platform, in order to make Mom365's design boards and new branding initiative come to life. With most of the content remaining in tact, we used a new design concept to make the site look and feel more refreshed and current. We developed an improved CSS structure and took advantage of JQuery to deliver the redesigned website. We also produced a number of email marketing projects and periodic maintenance updates.
Client: PrimeScout
- Full Front-end Site Build
- X/HTML, CSS, JQuery
Partnering with New York-based agency, Flint, I developed all presentation layer coding for PrimeScout, a social networking site intending to bond athletes and athletic scouts. The athlete's main profile page or "dashboard" had many coding challenges as it packed all of the athletes personal information onto one page. I used many hand-coded JQuery elements, such as accordion menus, tab systems, tool zips, and zebra striping, to gracefully present the wealth of data on the dashboard. The main navigation was also a complex piece to develop, with three rows of expanding menus that needed to layer over one another. All HTML was verified to comply with current web standards and standard accessibility guidelines. PrimeScout is now in live in beta.
Client: Capstone Energy Services
- Complete Site Build
- PHP, X/HTML, CSS, JQuery
- WordPress Integration
Partnering with New York-based agency, Flint, I handled all aspects of website development for Capstone Energy Services. The marketing initiative intended to humanize the energy company's relationship with customers by presenting information in a simple and engaging manner. I developed a PHP template system to easily create new pages within the site architecture. I used JQuery to create tab systems and animated sliding menus. And I developed a WordPress page that looks and feels like the rest of the site, where the client can add news articles. The most current article is fed into a "Latest News" content box on the homepage.
Client: Staybridge Suites Times Square
- Website Redesign, Complete Site Build
- PHP, X/HTML, CSS, JQuery, WordPress, SEO, Facebook App
Staybridge Suites Times Square was in the process of being constructed when I first met with the hotel's operations and marketing team. They needed a new website that would set them apart from other hotels in the area, and apart from their traditional brand image. I gave them a design that would afford users a feeling of being comfort and coziness while staying in the heart of the bustling city. The site build concentrated on simplicity and emphasized search engine optimization. We ran a Facebook video promotion called "The Big Broadway Break" where I installed an application that would sign up users and display their video content; I then set up a blog in WordPress for the winner of the contest.

ARTICLE BY Vinny Tang
Good Grief! The adidas Iniki Runner Channels Charlie Brown
First thing that came to mind when we saw adidas' new Iniki Runner? Everybody's favourite Beagle-lover, Charlie Brown. The 'Goldenrod' base colour looks a lot like the Peanuts protagonist's yellow tee, while the jagged black Three Stripes and detailing references the rest of Charlie's outfit. The Goldenrod colourway has worn heritage status for decades now, but that's not going to stop us from nicknaming this BOOST-equipped trainer the 'Charlie Browns' from here on out.
The adidas Originals Iniki Runner 'Charlie Brown' will be available soon at select Originals accounts globally.

Do you face wrinkles you wish to get rid of? Do you feel like your excessive face wrinkles make you look older than your age? If yes, then you need to get Botox. Botox is the other name for Onobotulinumtoxin, which is a neurotoxin. At present, there are nearly four different types of FDA-approved Botox for facial wrinkles, including Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Botox.
All these compounds work by blocking nerve impulses to muscles of the face which prevents muscles from contracting. By blocking the contraction of muscles, there is less pull on the skin, and as a result, the formation of wrinkles automatically decreases. All these compounds have the same mechanism and result, but they differ in their duration of action, onset, and side effects.
What to expect from the Botox procedure
Before your doctor injects Botox, they will talk to you about your goals and what you want to achieve through Botox injections. During the consultation, the doctor will examine you and assess if it is possible to achieve your wants and goals using Botox injections. If it is possible, then you are in luck!
The doctor will cleanse your face and areas that have to be injected. They will be marked with a removable marker after careful examination. Once the area is ready, the doctor will administer the Botox injections to the target muscles. The doctor might also apply numbing cream or ice packs to reduce any discomfort that you might be experiencing.
Once the process is complete, you might see some small bumps on your skin. There is nothing to worry about; these small bumps are quite normal and will disappear in a few hours on their own. You might also experience mild bruising, which will also resolve in a day or two. Lastly, your doctor will guide you about what to do and what not to do. What precautions to take and how to take care.
Botox injections usually start showing results in three to six days, but the final and complete results can take up to a week or more. Professionals at Botox Clinic Glasgow
Recommend their patients to wait for a complete two weeks after their Botox injection, and if they think they need a touch up they can easily visit the clinic, and their problem will be taken care of. Botox injections take up to two weeks to show results because it takes time for the neurotoxin to block the nerve impulses to the muscles of the face.
Everybody wishes that Botox lasted forever, but sadly it does not. The action and results of the neurotoxin and Botox injections eventually wear off, and the nerves are reactivated. The nerves start sending signals to the muscles, which start contracting. As a general rule, Botox injections last for about three to four months.
However, this period may differ from patient to patient, depending on their body. For some patients, it may be longer and can last up to six months. Whereas for some it may last for only two months. Also, Botox injections tend to last longer if you have had them previously.
Botox injections last for about 3-4 months, but it is worth it! Make your face wrinkle-free today by consulting experts at Botox Clinic Glasgow.

Arriving at the Pepper Canister church on Dublin's Mount Street last Saturday evening one was met with seemingly incongruous signage screaming Hidden Agenda. Truly esoteric, casual bystanders might have suspected a hijacking, an unsubtle protest at the church in modern Ireland. The fact of the matter was something less overtly political, yet just as exciting. The Dublin venture whose name adorned these signs was putting on a thrilling concert in this venue, an evening of music grounded in folk that gazed ever skyward.
Stepping inside, the mood was one of quiet wonder, as smoke softly drifted through air and rich, thick lighting added a ritualistic effect. Mood music was curiously apt, as gentler numbers from the likes of Burial and Boards of Canada lent narcotic ambiance. Moving forward I was unsure whether or not to genuflect and kneel as I took a pew near the front. This bizarre dichotomy wasn't lost on the crowd, among whom there was a feeling of reverence mixed with mischief.
Indeed, openers Subplots announced that after their performance they would be selling CDs next to the mass leaflets. This Dublin duo, with added percussionist Ross Chaney, performed songs that were both taut and rambling, flowing yet focused. Phil Boughton's vocals fall somewhere between those of Thom Yorke and James Blake, all pained upper-register crooning. The band's sound can be woozy, incessant and hypnotic, all in one song. Future Tense, from their forthcoming album Autumning, was a particular highlight.
Maria Somerville followed, traversing a world somewhere between folk indie and electronica. She sings songs of delicate beauty, which ebb and flow from hushed anxiety to swarming emotion. Holes was particularly strong, growing from tiny beginnings through a soaring crescendo. Her natural accent comes through in her singing style, an effect that adds, if not authenticity, at least a very recognisable identity.
While the two support acts performed in the area between the altar and the congregation, Luke Abbot's setup was far back on the altar itself. Stepping out with little fanfare, he took to his laptop and immediately immersed the room in thick swathes of modulated synth, leading the proceedings as would his religious counterpart. Emotive and highly affective, the evening was jolted to life, after the lilting haze of the previous acts. Dressed in loose jacket and billowing scarf, Abbott looked for all the world like Harry Potter if he had foregone Quidditch practice in favour of more sonic wizardry. The magical comparisons don't end there, as Abbott manages to extract from his laptop and synthesiser a sound that is at once energising and deeply moving.
His music drifts through time signatures and modes, heavy compound lurches and straight-up 4/4 structures. It's a marvel how something so grounded in electronics can evoke visions of bucolic scenery, yet Abbott achieves this with no small mastery. 'Amphis', which in its two forms takes up almost half the run time of his Wysing Forest album, gets a spectacular run out, just one of several standouts in a show that went beyond 70 minutes. While the quiet attention that was present for for the two opening acts is lost somewhat during the more expansive sounds of the headliner, not least because of the growing crowd, the atmosphere was electric and I know I was not the only one entirely lost in the music.
This occasion was the first in Hidden Agenda's new Higher Ground series of events, which aim to showcase local and international talent in unusual and unexpected venues nationwide. If they can repeat the success of this first effort, we should have some great nights in store. Aidan Hanratty

African Law & Business > News and Analysis > Mixed fortunes in Africa's real estate market
Mixed fortunes in Africa's real estate market
Real estate investors chasing the myriad opportunities in Africa are finding it easier than ever to do business, but the challenges that remain are significant.
The African real estate market is a complicated one, influenced by good and bad changes in governance and the quality of related infrastructure and the strength of legal frameworks. Meanwhile, the impacts of international politics, urbanisation and volatile oil prices have had an impact on economies across the continent, while the strength of the dollar has made it harder for some investors to service their debts and slow economic growth and the increasing pace of development has led to oversupply.
Regardless of the uncertainties, the potential rewards mean that Africa remains a highly attractive investment destination and the projects that investors are targeting are improving in quality all the time.
The state of the real estate market in Africa presents a mixed message says Paul Dineen, a partner with international law firm DLA Piper, which last year produced a report on real estate investment in Africa entitled: Real Estate Investment in Africa: Is the Honeymoon Over?
While the level of activity is similar to three years ago, "the ease of doing business has improved slightly", he says, noting that clients are seeing improvements in transparency "albeit not to the extent that would encourage institutional clients to invest more heavily".
That said, problems remain, says Richard Holberton, head of occupier research for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at real estate services company CBRE, which co-authored the report. Those vary from country to country, including difficulty repatriating capital, exchange rates, title planning, land ownership and the role of government, but "it is becoming easier to establish what constitutes best practice", through the learning of "difficult lessons".
Perhaps the most difficult of lessons has been overcoming low oil and commodities prices over the past few years, which has significantly impacted the continent's many economies which are over-reliant on extraction. There has been a resulting urgency to efforts by those countries to diversify, which Holberton says "are going to be positives for the market because clearly they make occupier markets and ultimately investor markets less dependent on single sectors or single sources of revenue".
Another positive trend is growing inter-country co-operation within Africa, which goes against the global international trend towards protectionism years and is "favourable for attracting inward investors, delivering big inter-country infrastructure projects and possibly getting to a more harmonised system on land use and planning systems", Holberton says.
Even with that progress, Alexander Boadi of London-based real estate consultancy Let's Move Africa and a public-private partnerships (PPP) advisor to the United Nations, points out that investors face unique challenges. This can be particularly true when purchasing land owned by local chiefs, which can cause prices to fluctuate wildly, as "the value of land just depends on how that particular person felt at that particular time".
The hospitality industry leads the way in Africa, because hotel developers are used to taking on projects in less commonly visited jurisdictions. Retail is another popular area, thanks to the existence of growing, young, middle class African populations with rising incomes, but finding the right location, especially given some of the large distances involved, can be difficult.
"At one level, that encourages scale, in that if you are going to do it, you might as well do it big," says Holberton, "but that creates a large investment, for which there may not be appetite in smaller or riskier markets" and careful local analysis is required.
Increasing urbanisation, a trend that is set to continue for the foreseeable future, means that the residential sector is another area that should provide big opportunities. "There is a massive lack of affordable housing," says Boadi, further fuelled by the return of members of the African diaspora and the growth of the student market.
While the DLA/CBRE report cites the improved ease of doing business, this is not uniform across Africa, nor is it exclusive to the continent, Dineen says. "At a macro level the world is becoming a smaller place. Sensible governments, not just in Africa, but across the world, are increasingly looking outwards and if they want to attract foreign investment, then they are recognising that the investment structure that they are setting up in their own jurisdiction needs to comply with modern standards."
For businesses, that ease is improved by having a local presence, as he explains: "To go in as an external investor and try and apply experiences and methodologies from your own jurisdiction into African countries where you have not previously invested, would be very naïve." Local governments have also responded by smoothing the path to starting businesses, getting construction permits and accessing utilities.
This is part of the maturation process of an economy, says Holberton, which also applies to the increasing diversification of previously oil-dependent economies, which are now developing industrial policies.
"The normal processes of economic maturity would over time reduce dependency on primary outputs and all those commodities anyway," but investment in sectors such as tourism, technology, aviation and avionics can speed that process as part of the industrial strategy and sure enough, Dineen reports a rise in clients taking an interest in renewables projects.
The ability to develop property is dependent on a chain of physical infrastructure which includes airports, ports and roads, allowing the import and transport of construction materials and equipment, and eventually, customers.
Recent examples of greater investment in infrastructure include work on Rwanda's new airport terminal.
Any restrictions on these factors are in turn "a restraint on population mobility and labour market growth and indirectly, an inhibitor to corporate relocation", explains Holberton. Financial risk sharing between government and private sector investors is a major factor in infrastructure projects and new models of finance are evolving.
Central to this is PPP. "It is all about risk-revenue sharing," says Dineen. "The more that governments can collaborate, the more they can underwrite these kinds of projects, the more investment they will inevitably attract." The need for local joint ventures emphasises the need for legal infrastructure, as well as physical, in order to cement those relationships, and for issues such as the need for reliable land registries.
Boadi believes that the influx of the diaspora into Africa will change the business climate, as will the rise of a younger generation: "There is vibrant youth in Africa that want to get rid of the old ways of doing politics, so recycled politicians, old politicians, the vibrancy of the youth will change the dynamics of the containment."
"There are opportunities everywhere," he continues, "simply because the continent is a developing continent". While those opportunities come with challenges, the progress is undeniable.
The market seems stable for the next few years based on developments in the retail and leisure sectors, while others, such as office development, remain patchy.
Longer term, more of these sectors will come into play. Initially developers tend to focus on the infrastructure sector as their entry into the continent, as it is "slightly less risky [and] bigger in scale" says Dineen, but over time these developers should start to spread their wings and chase other opportunities, as infrastructure improves.

In 1994 DD Humes Financial Services became a certified independent Quebec dealership for mutual funds. In 2004 DD Humes Financial Services dissolved their own dealership and joined, FundEX Investments Inc. a group savings plan brokerage. This allowed DD Humes to offer their services to clients outside of the province of Quebec.
In 2021 the IA Financial Group (iAFG) amalgamated two of their existing mutual fund dealers into one. Both Investia and FundEX were already members of the iAFG family of companies and the resulting company is now the largest independent mutual fund dealer in Canada and will be known going forward as Investia Financial Services.
DD Humes Financial Services Inc. was awarded "The Dalbar Financial Professional Seal", which recognizes excellence in areas of trust, client satisfaction, quality of advice, and financial results. It should be noted that we recorded the highest marks in the country for responsiveness.
Not being forced to sell any particular product is of paramount importance to DD Humes. This holds true in our planning services as well as our product recommendations. DD Humes has no ownership ties with any financial product manufacturers and thus remains completely unbiased in its approach.
Our investment philosophy is built around the principle that "the whole is a sum of its parts." When one part of the portfolio is going up, another part may be expected to go down. This risk cancellation effectively results in steadier, more predictable, optimized returns over extended periods of time. In short, we have more faith in the proven processes than we do in the individual security selections. Our promise to you is clear: We practice innovative thinking, trust-worthy actions, and responsible portfolio management. Since David Humes first opened his doors in the late 1970s, DD Humes has been helping clients achieve their lifestyle dreams through sound financial health.

School Management
Rev. Fr. Geo Jacob
The Manager of the School
He was appointed as the manager of the school in July 2019.
Rev. Sr. Agnes Anthony Dass Joseph
She was appointed as principal in July 2020.
Her present priority is to integrate discipline with academic excellence.
Envisioning the world as one big family and working to build essential values of Equality, Fraternity, Tolerance and Mutual Respect for all and among all.
The institution aims to provide equal opportunities of quality education to all sections of society, ensuring the formation of a more equitable and egalitarian society and a better tomorrow.
'Tamso ma Jyotirgamaya' taken from the Brihadarankya Upanishad, meaning 'lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge.'
Our History
"All great achievements have one thing in common – People with a passion to succeed"
St. Michael's Junior School was first started as the Holy Child School in a small building in South Patel Nagar, under the guidance of the Sisters of Holy Child. The school though small was well known in the vicinity. This was taken over by Rev. Fr. Jorge D'Souza, who then managed the school independently. Seeking better recognition, the Diocese bought a bigger space and got a building constructed in Prasad Nagar in 1984 in the name of St. Michael's Junior School. It was inaugurated by Rev. Bishop Angelo Fernandez. The aim and the objective of the school has been always to educate the weaker sections of the society and is therefore wedded to the 'Sahodaya System' of education.
It began as only boys' school, which was slowly converted to a co-education school. After the sad demise of Fr. Jorge D'Souza, Fr. Anil Couto, the present Archbishop of Delhi took charge and then Rev. Fr. George Panackal. The Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters came in later and managed the school. They had brought about number of changes and work hard to make the Michaelites soar high.
In July 2020' the congregation of Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod has collaborated with the Archdiocese of New Delhi to shoulder the responsibility of the school.We have at present Sister Agnes Joseph as the Principal of St. Michael's Junior School.
The institution has progressed and grown under the able guidance, motivation and support of all the Managers & Principals that have been here since its inception and the last 38 years have been especially prosperous. A lot of progress has been witnessed from the change in the outlook of the classrooms with animated paintings on the wall to assigning a unique color theme to each one of them. All our efforts have been towards providing kids with the opportunity to participate in all the Activitiess and invigorate their growth on multiple levels.
The school has given quality education of heart, mind and soul to its students and gives importance to the formation of habits of discipline, study, self-reliance, and moral values, so as to make the students worthy citizens of the country.
The dedicated services of our Managers, Principals and Teachers will always be gratefully remembered. Each one of them has contributed immensely to the growth of St. Michael's Junior School with their selfless service.
We thank and pray to God for His blessings on the school and hope that it may continue to render its glorious service to the nation and the world as a whole.

A new CLP publication, Student Success Teams at Santa Ana College, highlights the college's work to develop success teams including their use of student-centered design and equity-minded approaches. Last year, SAC started with one pilot success team and has since expanded the effort to all eight of their Career and Academic Pathways, the college's form of meta-majors. The case study is accompanied by a set of tools that addresses key steps in developing success teams: exploring the framework, building your success team, and assessing the impact. Each tool contains resources, activity suggestions, and discussion questions.
One of the cornerstones of SAC's work with success teams has been connecting to students. Counselors and coaches went to classes, gave presentations, and developed one-on-one relationships with students. Team members knew students' names and programs of study and made themselves available for appointments outside of class to answer questions or complete Ed Plans. "We not only supported students in their college and career needs in the Career and Academic Pathway but in their academic and social/emotional needs too," noted Sara Vu, Student Services Coordinator and Student Success Coach.

Anthony Dominick "Tony" Benedetto (born August 3, 1926), better known by his stage name Tony Bennett, is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band, show tunes, and jazz. He is also a painter, having created works under the name Anthony Benedetto that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York.
Born and raised in Astoria to an Italian-American family, Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman in the European Theater. Afterward, he developed his singing technique, signed with Columbia Records and had his first number-one popular song with "Because of You" in 1951. Several top hits such as "Rags to Riches" followed in the early 1950s. He then refined his approach to encompass jazz singing. He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". His career and his personal life experienced an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.
Tony Bennett is an English academic who has also worked in Australia. Bennett is an important figure in the development of the Australian approach to cultural studies known as "cultural policy studies."
His works include The Birth of the Museum, a study of the birth and cultural function of the modern museum, and Outside Literature. He is professor of sociology at the Open University in the UK, and Director of the Economic and Social Science Research Centre on Socio-Cultural Change.
Tony Bennett is Visiting Research Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and an associate member of CRESC, the ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-cultural Change. Professor Bennett was the Professor of Sociology at The Open University from 1998 to 2009, and a Founding Director of CRESC, before leaving to take up his current position as Research Professor in Social and Cultural Theory in the Centre for Cultural Research at the University of Western Sydney. He also worked at The Open University in the 1970s and early 1980s, initially as a Staff Tutor in Sociology and subsequently as Chair of the Popular Culture course before leaving for Griffith University where he was Professor of Cultural Studies and also served as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Director of the ARC Key Centre for Cultural and Media Policy. He is a member of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
Tony Bennett (born August 22, 1984) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Windsor Express of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL). He was part of an Express team that won the championship in 2014–15. Bennett was a Premier Basketball League All-Star in 2010 and an Independent Basketball Association All-Star in 2012. He played college basketball for the Bradley Braves and led them to a Sweet 16 appearance in the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. Prior to that, Bennett attended George Westinghouse College Prep in Chicago, Illinois.
On May 8, 2015, Bennett was suspended indefinitely from the Windsor Express and the National Basketball League of Canada following a pre-game altercation in the 2015 NBL Canada Finals, after which the Halifax Rainmen forfeited Game 7. His team was awarded the championship, but his head coach Bill Jones received a one-year suspension and a $4,000 fine. Even more suspensions were faced by the Rainmen, including those of Kevin Young and Cliff Clinkscales.

Tony Bennett is the former Florida Commissioner of Education and the former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Bennett received his Doctor of Education and Indiana Superintendent's License from Spalding University in 2005; his Certification in Secondary Administration and Supervision from Indiana University Southeast in 1994; his Master of Science in Secondary Education from Indiana University Southeast in 1988; and his Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from Indiana University Southeast in 1984. Bennett served as a teacher, coach and administrator.
Anthony John Stuart Bennett (commonly known as Tony Bennett, born 7 September 1947) is an English former political candidate and current campaigner. He was a member of the British political party Veritas and was listed on the database of the Electoral Commission as official leader for three days, before the real leader was revealed as Robert Kilroy-Silk.
In 2006, he began a private prosecution against Michael Barrymore for alleged drugs and drink offences committed on the night Stuart Lubbock was found dead at the entertainer's home. Bennett co-wrote a book with Terry Lubbock, the father of Stuart Lubbock, Not Awight: Getting Away With Murder, explaining their theory that Stuart Lubbock died as a result of a violent attack on him which Barrymore and his associates that night covered up. He has also campaigned against the parents of Madeleine McCann, who disappeared while on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007. He asserted that they should have been prosecuted for child neglect and accused them of covering up what happened to their daughter, a charge which ultimately led to the family successfully pursuing legal action against him.
GOES 11, known as GOES-L before becoming operational, is an American weather satellite, which is part of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system. It was launched in 2000, and operated at the GOES-WEST position, providing coverage of the west coast of the United States, until December 6, 2011.
GOES-L was launched aboard an International Launch Services Atlas IIA rocket, flying from Space Launch Complex 36A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The launch occurred at 07:07 GMT on 3 May. The launch was originally scheduled for 15 March 1999, however it was delayed to allow the Eutelsat W3 satellite to be launched first. Following this, it was rescheduled for 15 May. On 30 April, the Centaur upper stage of a Titan IV(401)B failed during the launch of USA-143. Since a version of the Centaur was also used on the Atlas II, the launch of GOES-L was delayed a week to ensure that the same problem would not affect its launch. Less than five days after the Titan failure, a Delta III failed to launch Orion 3. The failure occurred during the second stage restart, and as the Delta III and Atlas II both used RL10 engines on their second stages, this resulted in a further delay.

Widespread in embedded solutions the ARM architecture obtained due to its relatively high productivity coupled with low power consumption and cost. In order to perform planed task to provide the hardware multiplatform the OpenSCADA system was adapted to the building and operation on the equipment of ARM-architecture. Thus, the following projects were made Building the OpenSCADA project for the mobile devices of the Nokia company (N800, N900, N950) and Building the OpenSCADA and firmware for the ARM-based controllers from ICP DAS (LP-5141). The purpose of this section is to systematize the procedures and track he problems of creating the OpenSCADA buildings and software environment firmwares as a whole for a variety of embedded ARM-architecture hardware.
Specific of the ARM architecture is the lack of a necessarily hardware-dependent software system of the basic initialization and configuration of equipment, which is characteristic for the x86 architecture — BIOS, and the structure of hardware configuration typically includes: CPU, integrated operational and flash memory, as well as a number of built-in equipment on a standard system-level buses. The flash and RAM are placed in general address segment. Initialization of the such system with the software environment is made by downloading executable code directly on the built-in flash-memory.
To working of computing functions of OpenSCADA and other related libraries and softwares the performance of floating point calculations is very important. Specific of the ARM architecture processors is the ease of its core and availability of optional extensions such as math coprocessor. As a consequence, the performance on floating point operations is highly dependent on the specific processor, and on the emulation type of the floating point coprocessor if it is absent at all. There are two formats of floating point in the ARM-architecture processors: FPA and VFP. FPA format is obsoleted and met as a hardware implementation in the ARM cores up to the StrongARM family (ARMv4). XScale ARM core families (ARMv5TE) did not have a math coprocessor at all. And the ARM core, starting with the ARM11 family (ARMv6) are equipped with VFP format math coprocessor. At the same time the ARM processors with the ARMv5 architecture are still widespread, and thus the question of performance of mathematical calculations for them comes down to the performance of the FPA or VFP format emulation. In the case of the Linux environment the emulation of FPA is usually done by the Linux kernel by the CPU exceptions handling when calling FPA commands. Software emulation in the math library is usually found with the VFP format which requires the rebuilding of all programs. The FPA emulation by means of exceptions is much worse than the performance of software VFP emulation. You can compare the performance of floating-point calculations on different architectures, processors and ways of emulation in appendix 1.
The typical software environment based on the Linux operating system for ARM based hardware is: Loader UBoot, Linux kernel and root file system (RFS). UBoot loader is loaded into the zero sector of flash memory, and its settings are stored in the first one. From the second sector the kernel code is loaded, and immediately after it - the RFS. RFS is usually uses as basis the JFFS2 or UbiFS file system, which are optimized to work on block devices — flash memory with a limited resource of records. Examples of partitioning a block device (flash memory) for LP-5141 and TionPro270 are presented below:
The root file-system contains a typical UNIX-tree with work programs, libraries and other files. The basis of any program or library are the system libraries GLibC or UClibC. OpenSCADA is adapted for building and operating with "GLibC" version >= 2.3. "UClibC", created as a lightweight version of "GLibC" for embedded systems, contains a number of limitations and has not yet been implemented or has errors in the implementation of a number of functions.
RFS and a software environment based on Linux can be supplied with the ARM-equipment and contain closed binary libraries, Linux kernel modules, etc. In this case, an independent building and replacement of the original software environment is impractical task because it leads to the loss of original functionality. However, it often happens the delivery of the ARM equipment without the source (original) software environment, or with an environment that does not contain closed code and which can be replaced. An example of the first case is the controller LP-5141 and similar of the "ICP DAS" company, which contain the binary building of the specialized equipment API library (libi8k) and Linux kernel modules for its initialization. An example of the second case is a single board computer Chion-Pro270, the software environment creating and OpenSCADA building for the ARM architecture of which will be considered below.
Linux RFS can be formed on the basis of ready packages of the existing binary distribution, source package of the current distribution, as well as to build from the original sources through the ToolChain in one of the building systems.
Building of the programs or of an entire RFS for architectures other than x86 and x86_64, is usually made using the Cross Compilation tools (ToolChain) for building, linking and debugging for the target ARM architecture. To automate this process a number of tools to build the ready RFS created.
This building system is a part of the project for creation an alternative library of functions of "C" language UClibC, so basically aims to build environments with "UClibC", and with appropriate restrictions. BuildRoot is well in the work on the host systems of different versions, and allows to build the software environments based on Linux without too much troubles.
It is possible to get the BuildRoot archive of the correct version by the link http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads. Further it should be unpacked to the home directory of the simple user and the configuration, setup and building should be done:
The build process can cause following problems:
Universal tool fro the building of kernel's, ToolChain and software environments based on Linux from the "Pengutronix" company. PTXDist is a powerful and flexible tool, but it's older versions have problems in the modern host systems, which complicates the task of building the software environments for relatively old but still prevalent hardware platforms. For example, now (2012) can be found new hardware with the ARM XScale, ARM9 (ARMv5) processors of the 2003 year. However, newer versions of PTXDist support the old platforms, what can be learned from the support table by the link: http://www.pengutronix.de/oselas/toolchain/index_en.html.
To build the software environment (RFS) using PTXDist it is necessary:
Now detailed, in commands:
Single-Board Computer "Tion-Pro270" is a highly integrated computational-control system, based on the Marvell PXA270 processor with XScale ARM core from the ZEO company. This card was given to the developers of the OpenSCADA project by the Alex Popkov in order to adapt OpenSCADA for it.
All materials on building the programming environment with OpenSCADA and ready builds for Tion-Pro270 board can be obtained at: ftp://ftp.oscada.org/OpenSCADA/PLC/TionPro270
The board is supplied by the equipment manufacturer with preinstalled software environment based on Linux™ or Windows CE©. Besides all the source materials of the software environments are available in Wiki-resource of the manufacturer.
We got the board with the minimal software environment for which it was not possible to build OpenSCADA, so the new software environment has been fully loaded to the board. Download the software environment to the flash-memory was made with the help of JTAG-adapter OLIMEX ARM-USB-OCD and OpenOCD program of version 0.5.0, building of which should be configured with the "--enable-ft2232_libftdi" parameter.
For downloading to board's flash memory it was used ready boot buildings UBoot-1.3.3 (file of the image is u-boot-1.3.3_svn886_520mhz_tion_pro270_64m.bin) and kernel Linux-188.8.131.52. JFFS2 RFS filesystem image was built with the help of "BuildRoot" and "PTXDist", see below.
Flashing of the equipment with help of "OpenOCD" was made from root by the following command:
"tion270.cfg" script of the flash and image files of the software environment specified in the flash script "tion270.cfg", should be placed in the current directory. The flash script "tion270.cfg" includes:
In order to avoid multiple build problems associated with the build from the beginning, the configuration "buildroot-2009.08" was taken directly from the Git-repository of the equipment manufacturer: http://zao-zeo.ru/media/files/linux/buildroot-2009.08.git. In order to build in the "BuildRoot" environment the configurations were created in the directory "./package/" for the "LibGD" library and OpenSCADA.
Result RFS was loaded to the flash memory of the board and started successfully. However, at start it became clear that the "uCLibs" version 0.9.30.3 does not implement the function clock_nanosleep(), as well as crashes in the function timer_settime() for the type of notification SIGEV_THREAD. The the clock_nanosleep() function can be replaced by nanosleep(), but it is impossible to solve the problem of the timer_settime() function within this version of "uCLibs".
Next, an image of the current version of the "BuildRoot" on 16.01.2012 was taken, and the building of OpenSCADA with "uCLibs" version 0.9.32.1 were made. The building was successful after some adaptation of the building environment. OpenSCADA started successfully with some problems that have been resolved.
Following list describes problems encountered during building and operation of OpenSCADA on uCLibC of different versions:
Learning the PTXDist for building environment on TionPro270 was made using the experience of the following link http://www.emb-linux.narod.ru/tion-pro-270/index.html. However, the article was written a long time ago and it was used the ptxdist-1.1.1 version for building, which actually doesn't work on the modern software environments, and also part of the libraries needed for OpenSCADA can't be built there easy. At end it was based on version ptxdist-2011.11.0 and the building was made using this version.
Before the building of RFS the ToolChain configuration for this board was created arm-xscale-linux-gnueabi_tion270.ptxconfig on the basis of the existing arm-xscale-linux-gnueabi_gcc-4.6.2_glibc-2.14.1_binutils-2.21.1a_kernel-2.6.39-sanitized.ptxconfig with the following programs' versions:
Next was created PTXDist "OSELAS.BSP-Pengutronix-Generic" project's clone in directory "TionPro270_RootFS" with the configuration platform "arm-qemu-2011.01.0". To build OpenSCADA following configuration files was created openscada.in and openscada.make, which were placed in the local configuration directory of the project rules/. It was adapted the configuration of the udev program, which version was very big for the original version of the kernel Linux-2.6.22, ie it was used the udev of 141 version. New configuration files of udev were also placed in the directory rules/, thus defining their usage instead of the original configuration.
The RFS was successfully built and jffs2 image of FS was received. The resulting RFS was successfully loaded onto the board and started. OpenSCADA started and work correctly as well.
This board contains a number of hardware interfaces interesting to adaptation for OpenSCADA, so this section will be focused on the adapting process.
The board contains a chip converting signal levels from RS232 to RS485, which, however, is not clear to send requests from the software. Namely:
To the specific solve the OpenSCADA module Transport.Serial has been improved for this kind of hardware flow control support.
Using this extension, validation was made and presence of LP-5141 controller's software environment problem was confirmed.
Firm ICP_DAS long enough releases controllers on processors the ARM architecture within preinstalled OS Linux environment, as into the LP-5141 variant, that makes interesting to creation an assembling or a new firmware with OpenSCADA details on the project page.
Firm Nokia is one of worldwide leaders into manufacturing and marketing of mobile telephones. Into year 2005 the firm Nokia released the pocket personal computer (PPC) N770 based on featured Linux environment with proper environment of desktop (on GTK+) — Hildon with main the project name Maemo. Later base on the platform Maemo was released yet three mobile devices — two PPC "internet-tablet" N800, N810 and smart-phone "internet-tablet" N900. In 2010 the firm Nokia joined forces to work on the Maemo with the project MobLin of firm Intel, creation the project MeeGo. On the platform MeeGo in 2011 year was released two smartphones N950(prototype) and N9, details on the project page.
Freely programmable panel controller "SMH2Gi" is a highly integrated computational control system with the iMx27 processor based on the ARM926EJ-S core of the Segnetics company. Adaptation and building of the OpenSCADA for this controller was needed as part of the Automated control system for the vacuum process unit project.
All materials on building the programming environment with OpenSCADA and ready builds for the panel controller can be obtained at the link: ftp://ftp.oscada.org/OpenSCADA/PLC/Segnetics-SMH2Gi.
The panel controller is supplied by the equipment manufacturer with preinstalled environment based on Linux™, and its own runtime of the controller - "SMLogix". The role of OpenSCADA for this controller was seen as enhanced programming environment of the controller, integrated and programmed from the top level station on the basis of OpenSCADA. To preserve the possibility of visualization and control of data obtained in OpenSCADA on the integrated display, while minimizing the effort required for the adaptation, it was decided to save the original runtime environment "SMLogix" for the task of data visualization on the internal display, and to transmit data to/from it via a local ModBus/TCP connection. Afterwards, to optimize certain tasks, there created a module of data source to OpenSCADA DAQ.SMH2Gi with functions for direct SMH2Gi modules MC and MR acquisition, and also for variables exchange with process "logix", by the shared memory.
To build the original software environment the developer used previously discussed tools PTXDist of version 1.99.12. It was not necessary to build ToolChain, guessing the profile used to build the original software environment, because full building environment is available at the manufacturer's web site, packaged up as the Linux image for the VMWare virtual machine. The ready ToolChain profile was obtained from this image gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.8-binutils-2.18-kernel-2.6.27-sanitized. Since it was not required to build the full RFS, it was decided to build OpenSCADA, using the ready ToolChain, separately. To build OpenSCADA the following libraries were previously built: "pcre-8.12" and "sqlite-184.108.40.206". Later, under building modules UI.WebCfgD and UI.WebVision task have built the libraries: "png-1.2.49", "jpeg-8a", "expat-2.0.1", "freetype-2.3.11", "fontconfig-2.6.0" and "gd-2.0.35". Then OpenSCADA was built in following way:
As a result, the archive of OpenSCADA assembling was formed, which can be loaded to the panel PC SMH2Gi and unpacked there. The resulting OpenSCADA software environment is configured to start automatically when you start the controller through init-script "/etc/init.d/openscada". OpenSCADA assembling was successfully launched.
With regard to the software environment of the panel controller SMH2Gi in general it is necessary to make some remarks. The controller uses the Linux 2.6.29 kernel with the hard real-time extension that allows you to hold periodical intervals up to 100 microseconds. In addition, all critical system threads run with the real time planning management policy. In this case, although the processor does not have a math coprocessor, emulation is performed optimally in the form of SoftVFP. All this makes it possible for OpenSCADA to perform highly determinate control tasks at regular intervals up to 100 microseconds and with an acceptable computational performance.
Board AS-9260 is controller based on chip AT91RM9260, core ARM9(ARMv7), with peripheral devices set. The board targeted for development (maketing) projects based on microcontrollers with core ARM926EJ-S production by corporation Atmel, also that can be used for master controller of the target system.
To the board placed sockets USB2.0 (1 Host, 1 Device, Full-speed, 12Mb/s), DBGU, RS-232, RS-485, two 12-pins sockets for placing Ethernet 10/100 Mbps interface module, besides that have place for set two 80-pins sockets type PLD-80 for connect external modules with additional interfaces.
The boards AS-9260 peripheral with processor AT91sam9260 is minimal:
Loader and kernel you can be found here http://www.at91.com/linux4sam. To U-boot let's set loading RootFS from USB-flash:
The flash will format to FS EXT2 and to it will write RootFS Debian Lenny. Run the system and configure the internet connection nano /etc/network/interfaces:
Into /etc/inittab let's set autologin:
Set repository for updating, into /etc/apt/sources.list
After upgrade let's download OpenSCADA sources and resolve dependencies. Natively compile SCADA fails by lack of memory. Some from the situation resolving solutions are next:
The described method is far not the best then working to improve it. Similarly SCADA is installed to board AS-9200 with processor AT91RM9200.
"Raspberry Pi®" is a singleboard computer created for charity purposes. Designed to teach basic computer science in schools, positioned as a low-cost solution for novice developers. Developed by "Raspberry Pi Foundation". First board of Raspberry Pi was got to assembling and adaption of OpenSCADA from Maxim Lysenko. The board Raspberry Pi2 was purchased for tasks of OpenSCADA and adapting it to work with generic buses like I2c, SPI, 1Wire with different sensors on its. The board Raspberry Pi3 was purchased and sponsored by Proviron Holding NV for some debug and technical support.

Raspberry Pi
For working the board used special distributive Raspbian "Wheezy". Building OpenSCADA was done for LTS version 0.8.0.5 and Work version 0.8.1 direct on the board. For building had to expand swap memory size to 500 Mb due more memory need for some modules of OpenSCADA building by modern compiler (GCC 4.7) and with optimization (-O2). Result packages successfully installed and operation.
Graphical desktop environment into selected distributive built on LXDE 0.5.5, displayed in full resolution of the display through HDMI, or in resolution 640x480 through composite video-output. OpenSCADA successfully have started and have worked into graphical mode, but its performance insufficient for normal dynamic models of OpenSCADA execution.
Raspberry Pi 2 and 3
For working with the boards there also used a special distributive Raspbian "Wheezy". OpenSCADA has built for Work version 0.9 direct on the board and allowed memory here enough for this operation but it has 1MB and more, the building there allowed on all four threads. The building of OpenSCADA performs in packages which then placed into proper repository of Debian 7 from time to time of the buildings. Also for Raspbian "Jessie", mostly for the generic architecture ARMHF, there performs regular building of OpenSCADA by the OpenSCADA automatic builder into the cross-compiling environment and the result packages are placed into proper repository of Debian 8.
The typical graphical desktop environment into the selected distributive built on LXDE 0.5.5 (Wheezy) and 6 (Jessie) but it's replaced to TDE R14 for more features with low hardware demands. For remote access there was configured VNC access in display resolution 1024x768. OpenSCADA is successfully started and worked into graphical mode and the performance here enough already by the multi-threading.
For more free handling to the board was connected a WiFi adapter and on RPi3 it presents already.
To allow for operations with GPIO directly in OpenSCADA there was created a module DAQ.BCM2835 based on the library bcm2835. For now the module provides access to "Raspberry Pi" GPIO (0...31) as OpenSCADA DAQ's parameter attributes, static and dynamic functions, which the comparing information of performance shown here.
To the board there was connected a 16x2 text display 1602A and a program like to the original Python one was wrote into OpenSCADA by using the static functions of the module DAQ.BCM2835. As a result the program works fine and some faster to the Python original one.
To the board there were directly connected sensors DHT 11 and AM2303 (humidity and temperature) and a program like to the original Python program's C-language driver part was wrote into OpenSCADA by using the static functions of module DAQ.BCM2835.
To allow creation derivative DAQ templates with their configuration the dynamic linking to static external functions was added into DAQ.JavaLikeCakc?, like this:
To allow operation in OpenSCADA with devices on bus I2C the output transport "Serial" was adapted to the bus by selection the bus and a slave device's address (first byte of the sequence) set by IO control command I2C_SLAVE. In this way now to OpenSCADA there were connected:
The tracing task of the work out opened here.
Orange Pi Zero
For working with the board there used a special distributive Armbian "Jessie". As builds of OpenSCADA there have used the packages repository, mostly for the generic architecture ARMHF, for which performs regular building of OpenSCADA by the OpenSCADA automatic builder into the cross-compiling environment.
The board provides more low level buses (3xUART, 2xSPI, 2xI2C), despite its small size, and restricted GPIO in 16 pins which mostly used by the buses. The buses are standard but GPIO are some specific ones for which we need implement special support into the presented module DAQ.BCM2835 making it more unified one. Then there planed next tasks:
"Asus Nexus 7 II" — tablet computer of 2013 year edition with four-cores ARM-processor and sensor screen 7", released in conjunction of Asus and Google. Purchased for tasks of OpenSCADA and adapting it to work into the environment of OS Android and hardware of modern multicore CPU of ARM-architecture.

I love this design trick for making a smallish focal point pop, by visually bringing the eye in with a fake border. I often use it while scrapbooking, to knit separate images together to form a cohesive collection, but it's lesser known as a cardmaker's tip. If you took the white Stitched Rectangles frame off the above card, the little cross and banner would just be swimming in the middle, undersized and adrift. But with a border around it making the center of the card smaller, the proportions would great!
It's also just a fun element to add texture and interest to a card, without adding any weight or thickness. And it looks especially nice if you put dimensionals underneath the frame to pop it up off the base and cast a little shadow.
Get this look at home! Here's what you'll need:

CAMEL, April 2019 the Second
Unto the heralds and populace of the Kingdom of Lochac does Amanda Martel, Crux Australis Principal Herald, send greetings.
The timing of these missives continues to complicate my filing system, and so I present to you the Crux Australis Monthly Email Letter for April 2019 the Second (Heraldic Boogaloo).
Another Festival is come and gone, and a new year of the Society dawns. With that, and it being an odd numbered year on the mundane calendar, we come to the Lochac Heraldic Census!
All rostered heralds are required to report in the Census by the 15th of May, by completing the Roster Herald Details form on the College of Heralds website (https://herald.lochac.sca.org/forms/roster-details/).
This is the only reporting requirement for those heralds who don't hold office. Failure to fill this minimal reporting requirement is grounds for removal from the roster (how else will we know when to remove inactive heralds?).
If you've filled out the form at any time after the 15th of February (that is, the 3 months previous to the reporting date), I will consider you to have reported in this census.
I look forward to hearing from you all, with updated details and fresh faces!
I'd like to thank everyone who helped make the heraldic workings of Rowany Festival work so well. There was plenty of work to go around, but you came together remarkably to get everything done.
Of special note is the Herald's Consultation Point, which saw great business and will keep Rocket Herald busy with paperwork for longer than he may have bargained for. Registrations abound! I look forward to further forays into the idea, to keep Rocket on his toes.
The following items have been registered in Lochac on the February 2019 Letter of Acceptance and Response:
Amalia Fergusson. Name and device. Azure, a chevron between three mullets of four points, on a chief Or an annulet azure.
Bjorn Bassason. Alternate name Bjorn Bjarnylr Bassason ór Bjarneyu.

Yours in service to the Kingdom and Crown of Lochac,

TBBD is an opportunity for sellers across India to access a customer base of millions, which allows them to grow their own businesses at a rapid pace. Flipkart has introduced several programs for sellers, along with several industry-first strategic policy changes focused on the growth of a democratic seller ecosystem.
● A More Robust and Sustainable Supply Chain
Flipkart continues to expand its supply chain capacity, both in first and last-mile delivery. This year, Flipkart has onboarded hundreds of last mile delivery hubs across the country and its largest fulfillment center in Haringhata, West Bengal which alone will process one million shipments a day.
Flipkart has also rolled out an option of open box deliveries for high value items such as mobiles and electronics. As part of the Open Box Delivery process, the Flipkart wishmaster (delivery partner) will open the product at the time of delivery, in front of the customer, who needs to accept the delivery only if their order is in an intact state. As a customer focussed initiative, this is to further strengthen the trust from customers. Open Box Delivery is currently applicable on certain brands across select PIN codes in India.
TBBD 2022 is also going to weave in sustainability efforts, with most of the shipments being processed in sustainable supply chain facilities and delivered through a fleet of thousands of electric vehicles (EVs) across the country.
● Strengthening Kirana Delivery
Flipkart has strengthened its kirana delivery by onboarding over two lakhs partners across the country who will deliver a range of products including apparel, home, sports and groceries. This will enable customers across the country, including metros, tier-2+cities and rural areas, access to a wide range of products on the platform.
● Value for B2B – Flipkart Wholesale
This year once again TBBD will extend the festive cheer to its B2B members, by Flipkart Wholesale providing access to attractive offers spanning a host of products and great margins across a wide range of categories.
● Provide Access to Affordability in Tier II and Beyond Markets
This year customers will get access to a more affordable shopping experience with increased accessibility to credit, by leading banks. While these banks are offering 10% instant discount on Debit Cards, Credit Cards and EMI transactions, Paytm, the pioneer of digital payments, is offering 10% assured savings on Paytm UPI and Wallet. In addition, through Flipkart Pay Later, the financing partner will offer customers a credit of up to ₹1 lakh, which can be repaid the following month or in easy EMIs. Customers can also combine Flipkart Pay Later limit with any other prepaid third-party options and offers available at the time of checkout. Other offerings include a No-cost EMI facility for Bajaj Finserv EMI card holders.
Through these partnerships, Flipkart aims to extend access to affordability options to the eligible audiences across India and offer them access to 250 million+ product offerings on its platform.
● Revamped shopping experience
This year during The Big Billion Days, shoppers will get to indulge in an improved and enhanced experience on the Flipkart app. The completely revamped experience is created to delight shoppers by focusing on visual design, ease-of-navigation, easy discoverability of deals and products, and an immersive and interactive experience with influencers and celebs.
This year will also see a slew of other new launches, games, interactive videos, live streams and rewards and coupon distribution via gamification throughout TBBD. This immersive experience includes image search to simplify and narrow down the product discovery journey for customers and to overcome vernacular and linguistic barriers, video cataloging, to provide an interactive shopping experience, and a new premium product packaging pilot, among other things. The new season launch will also bring attractive fashion and lifestyle offerings to tier-2 regions across the country and beyond. Personalized AI initiatives are also being rolled out to boost engagement.
Shoppers looking for branded products and a more premium shopping experience can now also switch to the 'Brand Mall' mode. The Brand Mall mode has been introduced as an assisted shopping experience on the app with a premium user interface to enable customers through easy discovery and navigation of premium, branded products across categories including fashion, lifestyle, mobiles and electronics.
This year, Flipkart has partnered with India's favorite celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, MS Dhoni who will be seen in creative avatars as they celebrate Flipkart's biggest Big Billion Days event.

To start the 2017-18 season, the Timberwolves were managing to win games, but the way they were doing it didn't feel sustainable. Instead of playing connected defense and sharing the basketball on the other end, they were relying solely on individual offensive talent to sneak by in shootout contests. While most of us were just happy to be 7-3, then 10-5, and then 17-12, Wolves star guard Jimmy Butler was not.
Recapping a November 24th loss against the Miami Heat, Butler explained to reporters that "[The Wolves] haven't guarded anybody all year long [...] we've got to start guarding somebody, it's getting ridiculous and it's getting sad." These may seem like harsh words coming from the team's proverbial captain, but tough love is a vital part of what Butler brings to the table. And in the ensuing months, we've watched this team start to execute a dramatic defensive turnaround. That, in large part, is a result of Butler demanding the best from his teammates.
After Tuesday night's 102-108 loss at The Amyway Center, home of the floundering Orlando Magic (13-31), Butler voiced a comparably irritated message to his embattled teammates through Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune.
Butler post game: "We need to humble our damn selves. I'm glad we lost. Came in here on our high horse, thinking we're a really good team and we haven't done anything yet. Good for us man. They played better than us. They played harder than we did. They did everything right."
— Jerry Zgoda (@JerryZgoda) January 17, 2018
One of the most endearing and surprising things about Jimmy Butler's personality is the effortless charisma that is derived by his brute honesty. Despite knowing a thing or two about media backlash from his days in Chicago, Butler rarely relies on the filtered and guarded responses that most other professional athletes do. He tells the truth. Not only that, he often goes out of his way to say exactly what's on his mind. He does this, at least in part, to communicate with his teammates.
The tone that Butler took on Tuesday was strikingly similar to the one we heard after the aforementioned game against the Heat. But now that the Wolves are, for the most part, starting to play effective basketball on both ends of the court, Butler doesn't need to yell at his team about hustling back, or making second effort plays. No, now he is going to have to teach the young Wolves how to manage an 82 game season when every matchup counts.
For two and three years respectively, Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins had coasted into January with little on the line. Now they're firmly planted as the Western Conference's fourth seed, and certainly have their sights set on the third seeded Spurs. When your aspirations are that lofty, you can't afford to bring anything less than maximum effort, regardless of your opponent. Butler's measured, though emotional words to Jerry Zgoda are certainly a reflection of the urgency and intensity that he wishes to impart onto his team. Jimmy knows that each game is vital, and Wolves fans should feel confident in what he has shown us thus far: that he will get that message through to his teammates.
Despite the optimistic sentiment described above, losses like the one we watched in Orlando are starting to become an infuriating theme of the season. This Wolves team has proven an uncanny ability to rile up hope with a series of impressive, consecutive wins, only to let it down suddenly with a seemingly preventable loss. It was the fourth game of the season when the Wolves hosted the Indiana Pacers at Target Center—coming off dramatic wins against the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder that had confidence starting to roar around a team that was just 2-1—but that very next game, the Pacers laid a 130-107 beat down on them.
A few weeks later, following three consecutive wins against the Jazz, Spurs and Mavericks, the Wolves lost in dramatic fashion to the middling Detroit Pistons. Fast forward to December and after a five game winning streak against Western Conference opponents, the Wolves blew a 20 point lead to the Milwaukee Bucks. Then, less than one month later, yesterday's loss to the Magic. Evidently, Butler had a reason to say what he did to Zgoda, and it will now be on the rest of the team to respond.
After a dominating home stand in which the Wolves swept five high quality teams with an average margin of victory of 17.8 points per game, players and followers alike expected the team to saunter through Orlando virtually unopposed. That didn't happen, and while the loss was vexing, there is ample reason to be confident in Jimmy Butler's ability to help his teammates through growing pains. His post-game remarks are one part of that process.

About the map
Cameroon has a very central geographic position in all of Africa. In fact, some consider Lobeke National Park in far southeastern Cameroon as the center of Africa.
On the other hand, it's also like a hinge because it's at a deflection point in the Gulf of Guinea. It borders six other countries.
This includes Nigeria to the northwest, Chad to the northeast, the Central African Republic to the east, as well as Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Yaoundé is the capital city, but Douala is the largest metropolitan area.
