Lahore, November 18, 2014 (PPI-OT): The SME sector of Pakistan can be strengthened by promoting joint ventures with Chinese SMEs. It has been observed by Mr. Shah Faisal Afridi, President Pak-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry in a statement issued here today.
Referring to the present government's exclusive efforts to reinforce business relations with China, he said that the untiring efforts of present government had entered the Pak-China friendship into a new era, where a lot of Chinese investment companies had come up to join Pakistan in various fields of industrial and commercial sector. "It's now the job of business community to move forward to avail of the lucrative business opportunities to be offered by China.
However, President PCJCCI urged the government to provide a conducive environment for rapid growth of new SMEs and allowing consistence survival to the old SMEs in the country. He said that the SME sector is now doubt an engine of growth and innovation for the economy, but absence of the easy access to finance has frustrated the development of this sector in Pakistan. The SME sector in Pakistan represents over 90% of all enterprises, employs 75% of the non-agricultural workforce and contributes 30% towards the national GDP, said Afridi.
He further elaborated that in terms of total goods exported in the world market, Pakistan's SME sector had a share of 30%, India (40%), China (68%) and Japan (38%).
Whereas, in terms of non-farm employment, the share of Pakistan's SME sector is 80%, which is less than China's (82%) but higher than India's (35%), he said adding that Pakistan is the second largest producer of buffalo milk, the third largest producer of cotton , fifth largest country for the occurrence of Gemstones, 4th largest Livestock population, which shows that Pakistan is enriched with a huge potential of economic growth and needs nothing but a progressive generation of SMEs to transform these resources into business.
Faisal Afridi said that SMEs allow a large number of entrepreneurs and self-employed population to survive and exist; therefore empowerment of this sector should be prioritized by conquering the challenges faced by this potent sector. In this regard, Faisal Afridi proposed a four step plan as implemented by China for development of its SMs.
As a first step of the plan, he demanded policy measures to enhance the cost competitiveness of SMEs by rationalizing the regulatory burden, providing adequate infrastructure and business support services and ultimately giving an easy access to financing through formal sector.
In the second step, the government needs to take initiative to enhance quality competitiveness among SMEs by developing entrepreneurial skills and cover deficiencies in production management, technical knowhow and business planning, Afridi said and demanded to initiate the programs envisaging quality training for human resource development and unleashing the growth Potential of SMEs.
The third step would require a support mechanism comprised of the business development and financing institutions to ensure sustainability in the SME development process, President PCJCCI said and concluded with the fourth step of his plan by suggesting joint ventures with SME's of other countries such as China, USA, Germany, etc.

Elizabeth Smith Shaw Peabody to Abigail Adams, 6 October 1797
Elizabeth Smith Shaw Peabody to Abigail Adams
Atkinson Oct. 6th 1797
My Dear Sister—
Since my last my time has been cheifly occupied, in attending to those services, which were due to our late worthy Nephew—1 Though we had been in daily expectation of his dissolution, & every breath he drew seemed as if I heard a voice, saying "Sister Spirit come away"2 yet it was a sudden stroke at the close— As he called the watcher who set by him, Aunt, I suppose he took her for me; & I was perswaded to go & lie down; sleep, I did not expect— I presumed that was mounted upon its airy pinions— I had no sooner thrown my head upon my pillow, than I was roused by his distressing exertions to raise, I heard him speak "call the Dr. give me a puke I shall die"—& then an awful silence ensued— it was not dificult to guess the cause— the watchers met me, he is gone—he is gone was their exclamation— I suppose an ulcer broke, & suffocated him— thus ended the short life of the sober minded, patient, once healthy blooming Charles—& may his budding virtues, blossom in an happier, less tempestous Clime—
I feared his Mother, & Sisters would think his Funeral was appointed at so early a period, as to preclude the Opportunity of their attending even if they had earnestly desired it— I thought they would not come, & as I found it would interrupt Mr Atwoods buisness to have it deffered, as he shut up his Shop I thought it best to let him suit his convenience, & have the funeral when he pleased— I returned home thursday P M, & sent back Betsey Quincy, & her Sister that night— William hired an horse for himself, & we took Cousin John in the Chaise the next day with us— I think there were twelve of us went down to his Funeral— The near neighbours, & connections were desired to walk as mourners, & it being a pleasant day, there was a large concourse who payed the last tribute of respect to a youth, deservedly dear to all his acquaintance—
It is a great satisfaction to me that I have been able to attend my Nephew during his painful Sickness— nothing but having him in my own house could have given me more— Mr Atwood is one of the most benevolent of men— The great beneficent Parent must behold him with pleasure, for "God loveth a chearful Giver"3—& there has been nothing spared, that could tend to make Charles easy, & comfortable— It is really a charming Family, & I am convinced that those virtues of the heart which dignify human nature, are not confined to time, or place, but are found where we have least reason to expect them, & often flourish most in an humble station—
I have desired Mr Atwood to collect all the bills The Drs, Nurses, Porters—&cccc ready for me to lay before you, & Dr Tufts— I presume Charles had Cash nearly enough to answer the chief of those— I told Mr Atwood he must think what his own bill will be, & let me know soon as he could what his expences had been— He frequently told me while Charles was sick, that he should charge nothing for his own trouble, but I know the expence occasioned by watchers, two in a night frequently, which were generously treated must be great—& the handsome provision made at the funeral of Coffee, tea, wine &cc must be more than he ought to do— At first I felt loth to stay at his house— Charles was easier, & I went home a day, or two, but he sent his Chaise for me a Sabbath day, & said I must stay, with Charles, & his wife, that he loved to have me with them, & should not feel easy if I, were not— Betsy went & watched with Charles twice, but the poor Girl beged so for me to come again if I were not sick, that I told her I would not leave him— I hope her Cousins sick Chamber may prove salutary to her immortal Spirit, & though painful to the body, yet happy for her Soul— Mr Abbot prayed, that the near friend of equal age who with affectionate concern had watched his pillow, might have such a sense of divine things, such important realities impressed upon her mind as should not be erased by time, or the vicissitudes of Life— He knew the circumstances of the Family, & most fervently prayed for the absent Mother, Brethren, & Sisters, that they might be supplyd with every needful Blessing, & those consolations which their particular circumstances required— It was a most excellent prayer, presented upon the alter of my heart, I hope an acceptable Sacrifice—
I told Mr Atwood that his Sister had been a most attentive, neat, kind nurse, that I would have her paid the usual price, & something handsome given her— He kindly told me, I must not think of giving her less than eight or ten Dollars, for she was high spirited, & he had rather give a part back to me, than not have her gratified—& pleased— I thanked him for his frankness, & said, she had payed Charles those attentions which no money could purchase—& ought to be rewarded—4 I wish for your counsel, & advice—
The exertions which I had made to keep well, that I might behave with true magninimity of Soul, through the gloomy Scenes, & various duties I was necessarily engaged in, shattered my feeble Bark— It was the twenty-ninth day of September, that I was called to attend my dear Charles to his dark mansions; a day, to me ever memorable—for thoughts which are improper for me to utter—5 In awful Silence, I adore & tremble—
Thy divine attributes are conspicuous in all thy works, & in all thy dealings, O thou great arbiter of Events!— Thy righteousness is as a mountain, which no human Eye can pervade, & thy Judgments a great deep, which no mortal man can fathom.— Impressed with a sense of thy all surrounding power, I join the Psalmist in that grateful apostrophe, How excellent is thy loving kindness, how great is thy goodness O my God! therefore in humble reliance upon thy mercy, will I ever put my trust, under the shadow of thy wings, & confide to thy arms my fatherless Children— These were the reflections which occured, while with solemn steps, & slow, I passed from Grave, to Grave till I came to the house appointed—till I reached that, which, though no stone told where he laid, I could easily perceive One, over which the turf was scarcely closed & whose green had not yet received its wonted hue— I turned from this melting scene, with this petition,—though our Sins have been as scarlet, may we be white as Snow, washed in the blood of the Lamb, & though these vile bodies of ours, may moulder in the dust, may we all rise in Glory, & be permitted to join the celestial Choir in ceaseless Hallelujahs—6
I have had a charming visit from Mr. & Mrs Smith.
I had been quite sick all day, but I would not suffer the gloom I felt at my heart, to interrupt the pleasure of their visit— By them the kind present you sent to Betsy Quincy came safe to hand, for which she most cordially thanks you— Mrs Smith told me how good you had been to my Son, & that he looked finely—how thankful shall I be, if he does but do credit, & honour to his benefactors— I feel a peculiar pleasure in endeavouring to serve your Grand-children, in every respect—either body, or mind, we wish to pour the "fresh instruction" into their tender minds, & lead them to habits of virtue, that they may reach the temple of honour, & like their ancestor, be crowned with unfading laurels—7
Mr Vose says William does well with learning english Grammer, but 2 years makes some difference, & as John is not so good a reader, he had better be kept to that, & to writing at present— They are neither of them bad tempered— William is orderly, & attends to reasoning, John hears, & is faulty the next moment— Mr Peabody is very kind to them, but is resolute in exacting proper obedience— Limited monarchy is the best Government— It is as necessary in large families to have the power vested in one, & to be obeyed, as in states, & kingdoms—
We are doing your Childrens stocks with some mixed blue yarn, I had left of my sons— they will do in the snow better than wosted— I have put away all their best shirts, & keep the old ones in wear— If you will send cotton, for three a peice, Betsy Q shall make them— The little fellows are charming well, & hearty & I believe happy, I intended writing to their dear Mamma, but I have had something the Dr says of a slow fever all the week, I have taken two large portions of Cinnce, & feel a little better—8 If I were well, I would not send this ill written letter— May heaven direct your steps, & preserve you, & yours in health prays your Sister
Give my love to Louisa
John & William have written letters, & sealed them, before they brought them to me, I would have corrected them if they had not, you will please to excuse their errors—9 pray do not forget Scate[s]—10

Now retired following 40 years working in the London Insurance market with large Corporate clients.
I have now been involved at Knights for over 50 years. Initially as a member, I then became involved as a Volunteer on various club nights moving on to become the Team Leader of the Inters and Senior sections.

I have worked in young people's services both in the voluntary and local authority sector for the last 40 years. My last post was manager of Integrated Youth Support Servic.es in Medway in North West Kent where I managed the Youth Service, Youth Offending Service and commissioned the Information Advice and Guidance Service for young people.
I was asked to take up a trustee role at Knights YC when I retired in 2017. My Trustee role is that of Quality assurance and young people's voice.
On retiring I wanted to keep an involvement with grass roots young people's services and the opportunity at Knights YC was one that I had no hesitation in accepting.
Young people's services are required to provide a safe space for young people to socialise with the opportunity to get informal advice, guidance and support to vulnerable young people 8-19 years, who are at risk of a challenging community environment, peer pressure or family dysfunction.
I would like for knights YC to become an organisation that enables young people to fully participate in the decision making processes that guide the youth centre and to put young people's voice at the heart of its work.

I am using IMX7D SAI interface in master, synchronous mode.
It is configured to send /receive MSB first.
The slave device is able to receive the data, TX from SAI, properly.
But while sending, it is having a delay of 2 clock cycles.
Is there a way to delay the RX word sampling start, by 2 clock cycles (from start of frame), in SAI.

The Turtle Gardens Walk in the Park was an great success, with an incredible turnout of humans and dogs, perfect weather, a beautiful park, tasty treats, and lots of laughter. It was so great to meet Yvette in person after having known her only in cyberspace for the last three years. But what was the most touching part of all was watching her face as dogs who had once been in her care came running to greet her and as she saw all around her the proof that her incredibly hard work at socializing dogs and her careful matching of potential adopters to dogs had been worth every minute.
I could never have imagined so MANY dogs, some on leashes, some not, some big, some small, some young pups, some old, all spending a couple of hours milling around each other while their humans chatted without a single altercation. These are happy, well socialized dogs living with loving, dog-savvy owners and it sure shows! What a tribute to Turtle Gardens!
It was great fun for me to meet some of the readers of this blog, most of whom recognized me by Belle, ever the dainty little princess holding court among her subjects.
Sadie and Belle had a little walk when we got there, which was all they could manage - so we didn't go on the big group walk. But I did take a ton of photos which I'll be forwarding to Yvette to use as she pleases. However, as I know she won't be back home for a few days I thought I would post some of my favourites here - with a big apology to the dogs whose names I can't remember!
The Treat Man was a huge attraction:
Check out the tongue action on this one!:
Treatman always asked the two-legged guests before giving their dog a treat. This dog's human didn't hear him calling, and the drool got longer, and longer, and longer....
There were so many wonderful dogs! This one is Meesha, which means "beautiful eyes":
And this is Sage:
Here's Gray Ghost:
Look at this happy face!:
And so many others, enjoying their special day:
Belle gets some lovings from a new friend:
A great day for all, a great success story for Turtle Gardens. I can't wait to hear Yvette tell of her experiences on the Turtle Gardens blog.

Meiosis: How Sperm and Egg Are Made
Mitosis was the division of a cell to make an exact copy. Meiosis is cell division to make cells with only half the genes of a regular body cell. Why? To make babies! Sperm and egg cells have to have half the amount of genetic information so that when they combine they make babies with a full set of genes. Meiosis is only used for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is used for asexual reproduction. Watch the video below to learn about how meiosis happens.

|Vegan Pizza with Daiya
|BBQ Tofu, Vegan Mac & Cheese, Fresh Garden Salad
I have been to this location plenty of times, but didnt know all these options existed. I am vegetarian, but interested in going vegan. I have a lot to learn as I have not been eating nearly enough- rarely eating breakfast, then gorging on junk once I get to work:( I hope to incorporate tons of fruits and veggies! Thanks for the posts!ReplyDelete
The Whole Foods in Duluth has great vegan selections too. It's a treat to have lunch after we shop.ReplyDelete
Yea, there is a pretty good selection of vegan items at the WF near me, which is nice.ReplyDelete
That whole foods and the one on briarcliff are my favorites! I go to the one on PDL every Thursday for lunch. I wasn't aware of their deli items or taco bar!! I'll have to try that next time :-) Thanks for the heads up on the pizza too!ReplyDelete
I agree with you about how great this Whole Foods is. Me and my husband love going to Whole Foods across the nation and when his mother was visiting from California, we drove all the way from Alabama to take her here. Although she and my husband are vegetarian, once she saw all of the choices this store had to offer, she was hooked too! They're definitely one of best Whole Foods in the South for vegans.ReplyDelete
Hi Alicia,
This is my store and I had no idea they had so many wonderful vegan options. It will be a month being vegan for me, so I am now shopping at Whole Foods more and am loving it. Thanks for all the fun options. Love the blog and yummy recipes!

Breaking news: Sean Carroll to visit the Global Physics department on May 25
There are 43 posts in my drafts folder that I need to flesh out, but at present, I'm a bit too consumed with end-of year stuff to do any serious blogging. I promise to return to regular blogging in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I had to share some breaking news.
A year ago, I would have never dreamed that it might be possible for me just to reach out to a world famous physicist and listen to them lecture on a random Wednesday night. Sure, I've heard lots of great physicists present lectures at colloquia and other speaking events, and I've even worked to bring a few big names to my school (who often charged equally big speaking fees). But simply to have one of those luminaries join our weekly Global Physics Department meetings to chat and answer questions about recent physics discoveries—that's a whole new level of awesome.
So that's why I am thrilled to announce that Sean M. Carroll, Caltech Physicist will be joining the Global Physics Department on May 25 to talk about recent discoveries in cosmology and particle physics. Sean is the author of numerous books, including From Eternity to Here, and he writes the excellent blog, Cosmic Variance. This promises to be a true treat.
Because we are concerned that we might get more than 100 participants for this talk, we are asking that if you are interested in participating, you sign up in advance using this simple google form.
May 12, 2011 8:51 am
I would love to participate (and have wanted to get involved with the GPD for quite a while), but our district filters block anything that fits even the loosest definition of a "proxy", including bit.ly. Would you please post the full URL of the google form?
May 12, 2011 9:05 am
Ah, found it here:
May 12, 2011 9:06 am
Now I just need to figure out how to properly use twitter to join this global physics department. I'm a late adopter in twitter…

Computer programming has come a long way since the days of the Commodore 64. What once was reserved for hoodie-clad geeks has grown into something more mature and more integral to our society: stable employment.
For example, Shannon Lance, a single mother of four who had to scramble to financially support her children after a marital separation. By her own admission, she had no computer skills and even needed to use her phone to research how to right-click on a Mac. But after learning to code, she landed a six-figure salary with a local software company.
Or take Ausar McGruder, who left his actor/model/stuntman career behind to gain coding skills and became a systems analyst and software developer. There are no shortage of these success stories.
Just like factory workers powered the first three industrial revolutions, developers will power the fourth. We will soon find ourselves in a society where coders are more common than construction workers. Here are 3 reasons coding is the future of the blue-collar worker:
No degree? No problem
As the public's faith in higher education wanes, coding training programs will fill the vacuum. The rapid pace of technological change, paired with the rising cost of a four-year degree has made traditional education a less palatable and less effective option — especially for career changers. In fact, according to a 2018 report by the Association of American Colleges & Universities, only 33% of executives and 39% of hiring managers think that recent graduates are well prepared to apply knowledge and skills to real-world settings.
"Did you get laid off as a truck driver? Go spend four years of your life and $50K+…and then you can maybe get a new job!" It's a hard pitch.
The future of work won't be based on degrees, it will be based on skills. Just as trade programs filled the ranks of qualified welders, electricians, carpenters, and technicians, developers don't need a four-year degree to make an impact. Some states are already creating developer-focused registered apprenticeship programs to fill openings in their tech sector.
Supply < Demand
According to Code.org, 63,744 Computer Science students graduated into the workforce in 2018. But those graduates can only fill around 12% of the more than 505,000 open developer positions across the U.S. This demand shows no sign of slowing, with some estimates projecting the total number of open dev positions will surpass 1,000,000 by 2020. Talk about job options.
And all these openings aren't for Silicon Valley unicorns. These are stable jobs all over the country and in practically every industry: hospitality, finance, retail, healthcare, government and defense…you get the picture.
The variety of industries with open developer positions is key because it will allow at least some career transitioners to stay within their industry. That same laid off truck driver could get a developer job in the trucking industry, whether it's QA for fleet algorithms, building UI for self-driving trucking platforms, or a slew of other techie applications.
Working alongside our future robot overlords
Speaking of self-driving trucking platforms, automation is coming and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Companies will either embrace automation or get left in the dust by their competitors. While automation will displace or completely replace large amounts of workers, it will also create an even higher demand for high-skill jobs, almost all of which will require some level of coding knowledge.
Many jobs are already being automated, but machines will never be able to replace certain jobs. Humans will continue to be the organizing and driving force behind technology. It takes human intelligence to coordinate technological resources and direct those resources to solve business problems. Machines will just be carrying out instructions and it will be greatly beneficial to learn how to design and deliver these instructions.
The concern that automation will replace jobs faster than it can create new ones is justified. But, I'd argue that we can't begin to imagine some of the jobs and industries that automation will create. Trying to predict this would be similar to explaining SEO, social media management, or cloud computing to someone in the 90s. The World Economic Forum estimates that sixty-five percent of children who entered elementary school in 2016 will end up in jobs that don't exist yet. The job opportunities of the future are unfathomable, but again, it's highly likely that those jobs will require coding skills.
While our society and everyday lives are radically changed by technology, our workforce will need to adapt or it will wither on the vine. If we don't focus on upskilling and retraining our low-skill workers so they can participate in the digital economy, the societal growing pains will become unbearable.
Why will coding be the future of blue-collar work? Because we need it to be.

I use vegetarian recipes all the time and add the appropriate protein source for who ever I am feeding. Vegetables provide us with a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals. As a society, we are so time poor. We are cooking less and less fresh vegetables in our daily lives. The trend of steaming has left most of us tired of the same-same flavours of the vegetables that provide us with so much nutrition.
My goal is to provide my readers with easy to make recipes. Vegetables can be cooked into fritters, stir fries, curries and so much more. There are some delicious recipes that I have trialed and shared on my website for all my readers to enjoy. I hope that after trying some of my recipes, my readers will begin to enjoy experimenting with vegetables again.
All it takes for a complete change in lifestyle is one small step. Start your healthy journey by increasing your intake of vegetables today.

I'm using the FCM for push notifications. Its perfectly working in Debug mode but not working in Release after I signed with KeyStore.
I'm getting the same issue. Any updates?
@RamAkkireddy and @RonnieCyrier I'm facing the same issue. Did you manage to find a solution ?
Thanks in advance.
@ShaktiSri What error message are you getting? Can you post it here?
I released the app in Ad Hoc and sent a notification from Firebase Console.
It prompts "Unfortunately App has been stopped." - When the app is not running and also when the app is running.
@ShaktiSri You need to do the following
1) plug in your phone to your PC with USB cable
2) VS Menu -> Tools -> Android -> Android ADB command prompt
adb shell
logcat | grep AppName
(the AppName is the name that is found in VS Menu -> Project -> Appname Properties ->Android Manifest ->Package name
3) Run you notification
4) Get the output from the crash and post it here.
@ShaktiSri what adhoc version you are talking about?? You mean release version with KeyStore??
May be you have set different methods of fetching the info when received the notification. So because of that application is getting crashed. If you can post snippet of the code, may be we can suggest. My issue with the FCM Key in my API as well as .json file updattion. I have done all correctly and it worked
Yeah, Release Version with KeyStore.
Just trying to get some general push notification.
Your code please
Output from adbshell is attached.
Thanks in advance
// This class is the Service class for Sending Push Notification.
[IntentFilter(new[] { "com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" })]
public class PushNotificationPusher : FirebaseMessagingService
//Constant value string for firebase message service
public const string TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
private AppPreferences prefMan;
//Method to receive message //Pass param messsage to send notification public override void OnMessageReceived(RemoteMessage message) { Log.Debug(TAG, "Message from Push: " + message); prefMan = new AppPreferences(); prefMan.SetIntPreference("unread_notification_count", int.Parse(message.Data["notification_count"])); SendNotification(message.Data["orderid"], message.Data["message"], message.Data["job_type"], message.Data["shipmentstatus"]); } //Method to send notification //Pass param message body and title to send notification public void SendNotification(string orderId, string messageBody, string jobType, string status) { var orderActivity = new Intent(this, typeof(ShipmentsDetailsActivity)); orderActivity.AddFlags(ActivityFlags.ClearTop); prefMan.SetStringPreference(Constants.PREFER_ORDER_ID, orderId); prefMan.SetStringPreference(Constants.JOB_TYPE,jobType); var pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, 0, orderActivity, PendingIntentFlags.OneShot); ShowNotification(messageBody, pendingIntent); }
this kind of code???
@ShaktiSri Do you have Proguard enabled? If so, disable it and see if it works.
@ShaktiSri Do you actually untick the VS Menu ->Appname Properties -> Android Options -> Packaging -> Enable Proguard ?
Also do a VS Menu -> Build -> Clean Solution
@ShaktiSri From the screenshot you attached, it clearly shows that the app cannot find class "com.google.firebase.iid...."
Clean Solution and rebuild the Archive again. Sometimes it does happen when you cancel the Archive build half way then rebuild again some files will not be included.
@ShaktiSri what is linker behavior? is it set to sdk only?
@AlbertK said:

@ShaktiSri ok you can change it to link no essembly, just for test. let see if can find the file

@RamAkkireddy and @RonnieCyrier I'm facing the same issue. Did you manage to find a solution ?
Thanks in advance.
my problem revolved around using pro guard. I'm on vacation right now, but found some notes. After some trying, I was able to trap the error and this solved it. Look at the solution and my comment. I used notepad++ to save the cig file.
@shakti please add this line to your proguard.cfg file
-keep class com.google.firebase.** { *; }
as your are using proguard in release mode, it removed the following class
this was the error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver"
@Xami3 said:

Thank you so much for the help.
It works.
Finally..Great help from @Xami3 and hopefully @ShaktiSri is HAPPY
Hello All,
I ran into this same issue with our Release build for Google Play.
Notifications through FCM works fine in Ad-Hoc builds.
The difference for me is that I am not using Proguard so I'm not seeing the same errors highlighted above.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
@DineshNithiyeswaran Have you added signature of release keystore in FCM console?
Thank you for replying @RamAkkireddy!
Yes, I figured this out right after my post.
You are correct, I was missing the certificate fingerprint in the FCM console
I have the same problem with Google Play. Now, I am added finger print to FCM console and whats next?
Should I release my app again? Because app still not working. The same apk: adhoc ok, Google play fail.
EDIT: Ok, I see that google-services.json was changed after finger print adding. So I have replace my old google-service.json and release the new app version?
Hello, I have the same problem as you guys, for me the registration is even not working.
What i've tried is: 1. Debug Mode 2. Put all constants for production 3. Debug the app. This works very well.
When trying release mode, it's not working.
How can i debug in release mode, or how can i see logs of what happen?
I've tried what @AlbertK said but i'm not familiar with this, should my app be started while connected through USB cable ? Should i put debug mode or release mode and launch the app from visual studio ? I dont get it sorry.
I'm not using proguard, and i don't even use that proguard.cfg file ?
I'm not even using this package : com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver (a consultant came and told me that it's not necesary). My code is a mix between GCM and FCM, i don't get what he did.
Is there something wrong?
I'm a bit lost to be honnest.
I can't post images of my code...

In my Situation I Just unchecked proguard checkbox in android project-> android Options->packaging properties and it works like a charm!!!, I left a link bellow!!!
@RamAkkireddy said:
@DineshNithiyeswaran Have you added signature of release keystore in FCM console?
It's works for me. Thanks.
I had to add the following lines into my proguard file and firebase works well on release mode.
-keep class com.google.firebase.** { *; }
-keep class org.apache.** { *; }
-keepnames class com.fasterxml.jackson.** { *; }
-keepnames class javax.servlet.** { *; }
-keepnames class org.ietf.jgss.** { *; }
-dontwarn org.apache.**
-dontwarn org.w3c.dom.**
I just came now from my fight with this issue;
the solution to make notifications work on release mode:
right click on android project -> properties -> Android Options -> skip linking assemblies -> add "Plugin.FirebasePushNotification" to it;
explain problem cause (you do not need to read that):
the stupid, unnecessary, not useful, and ugly xamarin linking remove unused java byte code after finish building the application on release mode, some of this removed code is our library ,
So you have to command it to keep it by following the solution that explain it above;

Lazio look to Libor Kozak, Stefano Mauri and Hernanes as they welcome Gareth Bale's Tottenham to the Stadio Olimpico.
The Biancocelesti are currently leaders of their Europa League group and will secure the top spot if they manage to win this evening, kick-off at 18.00 GMT.
Miroslav Klose is out injured, so Kozak is chosen after his brace against Panathinaikos, backed by Mauri, Hernanes and Alvaro Gonzalez, but Antonio Candreva is rested.
Tottenham are under pressure after a poor run of results in the Premier League and Europe, having drawn both their away games 1-1 in Group J.
Bale is the star man, while Clint Dempsey and Emmanuel Adebayor lead the front line.
There was an attack on Tottenham fans in Rome last night, but Lazio have issued a statement denying their supporters were behind it.

The host nation stood on the verge of a glorious final in Berlin, until two late goals from Italy pitched them out of the competition.
There was shock among Germans in Dortmund at their most sudden of deaths, and a few tears, but ultimately, pride in their team.
"It is very sad to end like this, because we really thought Germany could do it now," says Matthias Brucker, standing in Dortmund's Friedenplatz.
Half an hour before, thousands of Germans were packed into every corner of the square, or hanging out of nearby windows, urging their heroes on the big screen to score a late winner or finish the Italians on penalties.
But within seconds of Italy's second goal, the local fans streamed through the exits, and now the square is much emptier, but for the debris, and clusters of noisy Italians.
"I'm really proud of the German national team," Matthias says.
The irony is that for a long time Germany was prepared for defeat at the World Cup.
The team suffered a string of poor results before the tournament, and coach Jurgen Klinsmann came under heavy criticism.
Germans were resigned to an embarrassing capitulation on home turf.
But at the World Cup itself they have been a different team, winning convincingly and getting the nation behind them.
Such fervour is unheard of, Germans say, and the ubiquitous display of national colours unprecedented.
Germans had started to believe they could go all the way. And it is for this reason that not everyone agrees with Matthias.
He is still distressed at the result, thumping the side of a fast food van and repeating: "It's not fair."
There are groups of Germans scattered around the square, sitting quietly, forlornly, and other individuals wandering alone, aimlessly.
But at the bars round the edge of the square there are plenty of Germans laughing, smiling, even dancing.
There is even some black, red and gold visible in the blue, green, white and red conga that is circling in one corner of the square.
"We'll have a party with the Italian people and the German people who are in a good mood, and we will have a lot of fun tonight," says German fan Mareke Bauer.
"Germany played very well, it's a fantastic team. I think in 2010 we will be world champions. But here the Italian team was better, it was a fair match."
'Spoiling the party'
The Italians, of course, need no encouragement to party.
"We'll go to Berlin. We'll go tomorrow I think, though we don't have tickets. Perhaps we'll get some.
"I don't think anyone can beat Italy now. Tonight I'm going to make the fourth star for my shirt," he says, rubbing in the fact that Italy now have a tilt at a fourth world title, which would take them clear of Germany, who have three.
Ludovico Megalini says it is "wonderful... an incredible emotion for me".
"I can't believe it now - maybe tomorrow when I wake up. I can think only of Sunday now.
"The Germans can go home but we're going to party, we're going to drink their beer and eat their sausages. It's great to celebrate in Germany after beating Germany."
The victory is especially welcome, he says, because of the match-fixing imbroglio back in Italy, in which four top clubs are accused of bribing referees.
Most Italian fans, it seems, think a World Cup victory would be a chance to show what is good in Italian football. They insist it would not be used to brush the scandal aside.
"It's like a nice story," Ludovico says. "The national team is the only clean thing, the only light. So we will win the World Cup just to show that Italy is not that dirty. We need it, a fairy tale."
There is to be no fairy tale ending for the World Cup hosts, but Germans say their country has come a long way during the tournament, and no-one involved will ever forget the experience.
It is perhaps best summed up by a German who left to live in Ireland 10 years ago, and barely recognises what he finds on his return.
The atmosphere in his native land is "absolutely outstanding - incredible - I am just overwhelmed. I never thought I would see it like this," says Stephan Preiss.
"This is something they can remember for years and years. It should make everybody very proud."

""Farmers should be able to own the land they farm, or at least have reliable access to it""
- Organic farmer near Hollister, CA
Alternative food system advocates often argue that a "next generation of farmers" is needed to reverse the trend of an aging farmer population and re-orient the structure of agriculture from consolidated mega-farms to a revitalized rural landscape. If creating new farmers is a regional or even national goal, it follows that land use policy should facilitate the establishment of startup farm operations. However, for small scale and beginning farmers, access to quality and affordable farmland remains a major barrier to success.
Nationally, 40% of all farmland is rented out and 80% of those 353 million acres is managed by a non-farming landlord. In the three counties of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito which roughly comprise the agricultural region of the California Central Coast farming on renting land is common. Almost half of all farmland is rented out to tenant farmers, who lease farmland and operate on tight margins. Agricultural land is often valued by its potential large scale production value as well as potential residential value as wealthy buyers seek out "ranchettes" in rural areas near to urban areas. Furthermore, the history of property arrangements in California has created a dominant trend of large plots of agricultural land in which owners are less willing to break up into smaller rental lots. Beyond these structural barriers, competition for farmland is fierce.
Agribusiness companies, real estate agents, and increasingly institutional investment firms dedicate staff and resources for land identification and acquisition. One tool these actors use to seek out properties are commercial services that aggregate public data on land ownership, land quality, and other agricultural data. Farmview is participatory farmland monitoring project that combines the local knowledge of small scale farmers and public data to help explore the status of land access in the California Central Coast.
A wealth of information about land ownership and land access is available on the 'mapbook' page. These maps tell stories about farming in the central coast. The datasets provided are also easy to download or reference for future use. The goals of the project and the tools provided are to:
The question of who owns the land is public information, accessed through the county assessor. We combine this to create a picture of the agricultural parcels in the region and some relevant agricultural attributes like zoning, soil classification, and ownership details. We also aggregate other public land listings, like data from ag listservs and real estate agencies. All these data are available on the 'map' page for exploration and searching. Detailed information about land parcels and existing or available land can be viewed
We solicit information from all members of the agricultural community in the region. A landowner, farmer, or other actor in the food system can submit data about farmland. They can describe a land listing, a vacant parcel, or an existing operation. The data collection tool can be done from a mobile device or a desktop computer, on or off-line.
Anyone with the link to the survey can collect data. Please feel free to share the link to the survey and bookmark the link for repeat observations. Please note that if you share information about your farm to this application it will be available to view by others.
Overcoming barriers to farmland access is much greater than finding suitable land. Beginning farmers must be able to create ag friendly lease arrangements, acquire start-up loans, secure markets, overcome language barriers, and negotiate with landowners who often do not have any agriculture experience. This requires a collaborative effort, and ultimately regional policies that support and incentivize the creation of successful start-up farms. Here are some regional resources that work with farmland access issues.
California Farmlink is a local non-profit CDFI (Community Development Financial Institution) linking small to mid-size farmers statewide to the land and financing they need for a sustainable future. FarmLink is the only organization of its kind dedicated to the economic development support for beginning, limited resource, immigrant, and underserved farmers in California
The Farmland Monitoring Project is a transdisciplinary research initiative of UC Berkeley. Generous support comes from the Berkeley Food Institute, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society, UC Cooperative Extension, CARTO, and the D-lab at Berkeley. Oversight, feedback, and expertise come from the farmers and staff of the Agriculture and Land Based Training Association, and California Farmlink.

114th Congress (2015–2017)
This resolution was introduced on May 21, 2015, in a previous session of Congress, but it did not receive a vote.
Position statements
May 21, 2015
Bills and resolutions are referred to committees which debate the bill before possibly sending it on to the whole chamber.
H.Con.Res. 49 (114th) was a concurrent resolution in the United States Congress.
A concurrent resolution is often used for matters that affect the rules of Congress or to express the sentiment of Congress. It must be agreed to by both the House and Senate in identical form but is not signed by the President and does not carry the force of law.
Resolutions numbers restart every two years. That means there are other resolutions with the number H.Con.Res. 49. This is the one from the 114th Congress.
This concurrent resolution was introduced in the 114th Congress, which met from Jan 6, 2015 to Jan 3, 2017. Legislation not enacted by the end of a Congress is cleared from the books.

Kristina Grifantini writes for Technology Review: The Evolution of Retweeting:
"Last week, Twitter announced that it will soon implement a button that will let users automatically repost someone else's tweet. While this will make it quicker and easier for users to accurately retweet, the mockup of the new button does not appear to let users edit the retweet, so that commentary can be incorporated. Rather, the 'retweet' button will add the image and name of the quoted person to the original tweet and post it for those who follow the retweeter."Grifantini interviewed me over the phone for the article, and she even emailed me the quote she was going to use to make sure it was accurate. You hardly ever see that. Thanks Kristina.
Here's my quote about retweeting:
In addition to showing the original tweeter's image, the new Twitter button will also show the latest 20 retweets of a post. "If they show the breadcrumbs of the trail of everyone who retweeted, that's a good thing," says Steve Garfield, a new media advisor to several large companies and prolific video blogger. "I like to add value to my retweets by adding a comment, to tell people why I like it." If the new function doesn't allow for comments, Garfield says users will just design a new way or revert to the old way.What are your thoughts?

Down in Como this morning with the plein air painting group, outside the Cygnet Cinema on Preston Street, built in 1938 and originally named the "Como Theatre" it's a great example of Art Deco styling with a nautical theme. An ocean liner ready to raise steam….port hole windows, tubular handrails and a curving bow at one end, all in a delicate shade of pink! I drew out the perspective lines in pencil first as it was a complex structure (the curve and the fact that the building is set on a hillside sloping down to the river). Inked over with De Atramentis waterproof black then having erased the pencil, I went for it with watercolour in my trusty Pentel waterbrushs (broad and fine). The pink colour was a particular challenge, especially as I'd parked myself on a street bench in full sunshine which dried paint on the palette very quickly.
This second drawing is a quick ink sketch from the other side of the building looking up the street. I really love the mural of Alfred Hitchcock painted on the side of the wall, I haven't really captured his haughty look, and some perspective is rather "off", but it was fun scribbling.

Have you ever thought, "I really should call that friend I haven't talked to in years – and when you did, they said, "You won't believe this; I was just thinking about you."
Have you ever had an inkling to walk down this street, introduce yourself to that person, read this particular article, go to that event – and it resulted in connecting you with something you needed?
Think about it. What are hunches? Where do they come from?
Some people call hunches "intuition." Others call them a "gut feeling." Creative people may call this their "muse." Religious people sometimes call them "God Winks." Scientists tend to regard them as animal instinct. Some call these "premonitions" or a "sixth sense."
Whatever you call hunches, good things happen when you honor them. They're almost always right.
I've learned many things about hunches in my study of them including:
1. Hunches happen for a reason. A good reason.
2. Acting on hunches often results in a "stroke of luck," good fortune, a blessed twist of fate, what some people call "kismet."
3. Acting on hunches is one way to set SerenDestiny in motion.
In hundreds of interviews, people from around the world have told me dramatic stories of how honoring a hunch moved their life forward – for good.
The problem is, many people are too busy to pay attention to hunches. They get an internal nudge and think, "I don't feel like it, I don't have time, I'll do that later." And later is too late.
In my TEDX-NASA.org presentation and upcoming book on SerenDestiny, I share the inspiring message that you have more control over your life than you think.
I'd love to hear your SerenDestiny insights and stories. When was a time you listened to and acted on that little internal voice and something wonderful happened?
1. How do you define SerenDestiny?
2. How do you define hunches? Where do they come from?
3. Do you always act on your hunches? If so, why? If not, why not?
4. Tell me about a time you honored a hunch and it connected you with a synchronistic individual and opportunity.
5. What advice might you have for someone regarding acting on their hunches?
6. Any other suggetions on how we can set SerenDestiny (the life we're born to lead) in motion?
You are welcome to answer here on this blog or send your responses directly to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If we are considering them for use in my upcoming book, I'll contact you for permission. I look forward to hearing how SerenDestiny has moved your life forward – for good.

About 3 months ago, we rolled out this awesome new corrections feature which helped you, our loyal visitors, send us corrections.
No longer did things fill up my mailbox, but instead they went into a queue where a bunch of my fellow editors could implement and comment on them. And the world was good…
But as more people started using the tool, the more we got swamped and it piled on until last week, when it took all of us a lot of time to work thru the backlog and get it down to something manageable. Now, we are very excited that all of you out there on the internets care enough about us to send us corrections. However, lest we find ourselves months behind with no hopes of ever catching up, we needed to establish some limits.
So, we've implemented a small cap — you can only submit 15 corrections per day. We think that's a good number — not so high for the casual corrector, not so low for the hardcore collectors/correctors among you — and it still leaves us room to do other things on the site while we're still able to keep up with the corrections.
Thank you for all your support and assistance. We're pretty exicted about the direction the site is headed and some things we have in the pipeline, so stick around and stay in touch.

Busy following the cricket and the Godzone adventure race online, I know some people taking part an amazing 7 day race on foot, kayak and mountain bike through some spectacular countryside. Good luck to all the teams and in particular to the Chimpanzee Bar and Fir For Life teams! In the meantime I have also been looking through a few more old photos, this is another from Milford Sound.

'Sarah Connor Chronicles' blogging: "Allison from Palmdale"
(previous: Episode 3: "The Mousetrap")
I find myself moved to snark on the robots from the future and the impending doom of the human race. Hey, it's the way I roll. Feel free to discuss more in-depth in comments, should you be moved to do so.
[spoilers after the jump!]
At first I thought, Is this the Very Special episode, in which Cameron learns about kids living on the street in L.A.? And then I got more confused. Cameron has memories of being a real person, Allison from Palmdale, who was alive on Judgment Day and remembers life before the machines? Is Cameron a copy of a real person, like it got a download of Allison's brain? Or is does it have Allison's brain in its machine body, kinda like Robocop? Sure, we see Allison and Cameron together, but maybe Cameron got the brain (or the download) after it killed Allison…
Still and all, Allison's experience at the hands of the machines was chilling, in a Guantanamo Bay kind of way. People in a zoo? Eek.
Uh-oh! The FBI agent is working for the Irish Terminator? Hunting robots with a lady robot for a boss? This cannot be a positive turn.
More potential for upcoming disaster: Sarah is making promises to her pregnant neighbor that she'll be there for the neighbor and her baby. I predict calamity.
Loved the bit with the shrink, who accepts Allison/Cameron's "fantasy" of being a machine from the future. Is it me reading too much into this, or did this play like an analysis of fans who are a little too into the Terminator alternate world?
Lesson for the week: Don't send your pet Terminator to the supermarket for crunchy cheesy things — you won't get the crunchy cheesy things and your Terminator will go bad.
(Need a complete episode recap? Check out Fox's official site for the show.)

Our afternoon visit went well. I took Ellie's temperature, which was normal (can't remember the exact number) and changed her diaper. The nurse said we can now just throw away her diapers as they aren't weighing them anymore. We talked with Ellie for a bit after her diaper change, and then they did her facial. Before the gal even started suctioning, Ellie started doing the cutest little short whines. She even got the attention of a gal working at a desk near her area. The suctioning went well, and the nurse gave Ellie her afternoon milk snack. They've actually moved her up to 1 cc every two hours. She still isn't processing all of the milk, but she's making progress.
She's also off of the blue light now and was wrapped up in a cute little pink receiving blanket. The plastic she had been in was to help keep her moisturized under the lights since they can dry her skin out more quickly. They'll keep monitoring her electrolytes, and if her sodium levels become too high, she'll go back under the light.
We were given a new job today - moisturizing her skin with Aquaphor. I had noticed the Aquaphor in her little basket yesterday but wasn't sure what they were using it for. Now I know, and Ellie and I use the same beauty product (I use it on my eyes where I tend to have really dry skin). Kit did a fantastic job getting her all moisturized, and I let her know that her daddy put lotion on my legs today too (can't bend over to do it myself comfortably). So again, she and I have even more in common with our beauty routines.
Each day we're getting more of the NICU routine down. We asked her nurse today about the frequency with which we can hold her (after she offered to let us this afternoon but we chose to wait until tonight when we could spend more time). The nurse said that we can plan to usually hold her once per day for now and then see how she does with that. Once she stays rested with once-per-day holding, we can try twice-per-day. As with everything, we may increase and then decrease the frequency as her little body fluctuates.

WATCH ABOVE: Keith Baldrey with the latest in the BCTF-provincial government negotiations
VANCOUVER – With one week to go before the scheduled first day of school across B.C., picket lines went back up in Vancouver secondary schools today.
"We're hoping we will be able to put a little bit of pressure on the Minister and the government to return to the bargaining table and get Vince Ready involved and move on with mediation," said Debbie Pawluk, President of the Vancouver Secondary Teachers' Association, this morning as she walked the picket line.
"We absolutely need Vince Ready. He is a very skilled mediator, and we need him in order to bridge the gap…particularly on our number one issue, which is class size and composition," said Pawluk.
The Vancouver Secondary Teachers' Association says on its website that members will be picketing from Tuesday to Friday, and it is imperative that teachers are out in full force as the beginning of the school year looms.
READ MORE: Iker renews call for mediation one week before school year scheduled to start
Picket lines are also expected to go up on Wednesday in other school districts across the province.
The union representing B.C.'s 40,000 striking teachers says it will use various tactics, including picket lines, radio ads and protests, in order to pressure the government into reaching a negotiated settlement.
Teachers have been on strike since June, and while both the teachers' union and the employer say they want classes to resume on Sept. 2 as scheduled, the summer has been mostly devoid of formal negotiations.
Legislative bureau chief Keith Baldrey says parents need to be prepared for the worst, with the possibility of the strike lasting until the middle of October.
"The house is not scheduled to reconvene for it's fall session until October 6th. So if Government House Leader Mike De Jong sticks to his guns…that means schools would be shut down through September."
BC Teachers' Federation president Jim Iker has challenged Education Minister Peter Fassbender to begin mediation, but the ministry says that will only happen if veteran mediator Vince Ready deems it would be productive.
Pawluk say she couldn't be confident one way or the other if classes would be opened next Tuesday.
"When you're bargaining, you always have to remain hopeful," she said.
"Whether we'll be ready or not for Tuesday is another question."

Sunny, breeze, choppy sea, but good for working.
Sixteen nautical miles off the coast of Chipiona, we began with the submarine robot's first dives at a depth of almost 100 m. Tomorrow we will start the transects to document the bottoms of the area proposed for installing the "Cruces del Mar" marine wind turbine farm. The purpose of this research is to minimize the impact that this type of project could have upon the marine environment. To do so, we must carefully analyze and locate the most suitable area to install it.
During today's dives, in the southernmost part of the area to be studied, toward Rota, we documented both muddy areas and rocks with coral and sea fans.
