Users of Oracle Corp. enterprise software now have an option for business process integration using an Oracle partners software.
Sierra Atlantic Inc. announced last week that its Application Network products are available on the Oracle9i Application Server platform. The goal is to provide out-of-the-box business process integration of Oracle E-Business Suite software with other enterprise applications. Thats a departure for Oracle, of Redwood Shores, Calif., which has long chanted the “Come to us for everything” mantra.
Combining Sierras Application Network products with the Java 2 Enterprise Edition-based 9iAS platform enables customers to integrate enterprise software using standards-based, out-of-the-box functionality, officials said. For example, Sierras SCMnet, or Supply Chain Management Network, and CRMnet, or Customer Relationship Management Network, available now on 9iAS, provide E-Business Suite customers with visibility into and control over customer and account information, order accuracy, and customer service, as well as enable manufacturing collaboration, according to Sierra officials in Fremont, Calif.
Each Application Network includes real-time collaboration of enterprise systems, manufacturing execution systems, SCM and product chain management systems, officials said.
Networks come with pre-built business processes derived from industry best practices. They also offer support for XML, Open Applications Group and RosettaNet e-business standards and for Web services.

Nepal on Monday recorded its highest single-day coronavirus surge with 62 new cases, taking the country's infection tally to 357.
According to the health ministry, 30,723 people have been tested so far for the deadly viral infection.
While 36 patients have recovered, the disease claimed two lives -- a male and a female.
Seven men aged between 21 and 30 from Rautahat district were found to be coronavirus positive, the health ministry said in a statement.
Two cases were reported from Bara district where a 28-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man were taken to a hospital for treatment.
As many as 47 people, including a female, from Nepalgunj area in Banke district have been tested positive for the coronavirus, the ministry said.
One case each from Morang, Gulmi, Dhading, Dhanusha, Dang and Rautahat have also been reported, it said.
Coronavirus cases have been reported from 31 of the total 77 districts in Nepal. Of the total seven provinces, Province 5 -- which shares border with India -- has the highest number of 159 coronavirus patients, followed by Province 2 with 132 and Province 1 with 40 cases.
Provinces 1 and 2 also share borders with India.
A 25-year-old man, who was staying in a quarantine facility after returning from India on May 12, died on Sunday due to Covid-19, becoming the second casualty of the novel coronavirus in the country.
On Sunday, the authorities extended the nationwide lockdown imposed to contain the spread of the coronavirus until June 2, a day after the country reported its first Covid-19 death.
A high-level committee for the prevention and control of Covid-19 had recommended extending the lockdown for another 15 days in view of the rising number of the coronavirus cases.
The lockdown, which was first enforced in the country on March 24, was to end on Monday midnight.

I don’t see documentation at all of customizing registry, is it possible to restrict access to the registry and define user/password credentials?
It would help to know a little more about the use case.
The registry servers we run within gravity are restricted, so only authorized users/apps can access the registry. This is done in a number of ways:
- The registry uses mTLS, so a certificate from within the cluster is needed to access the registry.
- In the enterprise hub, when logging in using tele, it will setup read only access to the registry automatically including setting credentials.
We don’t currently offer push access to the registries, because in an HA cluster there are multiple registries, and our software stack will only make sure images embedded within gravity images are replicated to each registry.

Parents of Teenagers Are Often Concerned About Who Their Teens
Parents of teenagers are often concerned about who their teens spend time hanging out with. What does research evidence indicate about what role parents should play in the lives of their teens in order to discourage involvement in criminal behaviour?
A)Young people who attend school regularly are buffered against the influence of delinquent peers so this should be a priority for parents.
B)Teens that are permitted to drink at home, in the company of their parents, are less likely to become addicted to alcohol later in life.
C)Parental involvement in time management balance for youths is important to keep youths from having time to engage in criminal behaviour.
D)Parents should be involved in peer selection since delinquent peers increase the likelihood of a young person engaging in and staying involved in delinquent activities.

Paper Cutting (student album of kindergarten work, Froebel Gift #13)
Album of paper cutting exercises, ca 1890s. Gilt-stamped pebbled cloth concertina fold album, 9.5 x 9.5 x 2.5 inches. 39 panels, several with designs on both sides. The album dates to the early-mid 1890s and was executed by student Anna Olga Müller, the daughter of two German naturalized citizens of considerable social and economic status living in Haddonfield, New Jersey, just across the river from Philadelphia. She was born in 1881 and likely completed this at about 12 years old.
Number 13 in Froebel’s sequence of gifts and occupations, the progression from geometric exercises to fully realized scenic pictures helps illustrate the transformative intention behind the paper gifts, bridging 2- and 3-dimensional space by moving the universal grid, the foundation of kindergarten work, from being inscribed on a table to being implied and manipulatable in a piece of paper. The progressive work is accompanied by small grids in the corner of alternating panels that provide a guide to the cutting patterns, helping to articulate the transformation of form. Three extra panels of work executed on the versos present naturalistic and representational images.

Dr. Boozman's Check-up
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has indicated that he intends to begin debate on the Majority’s gun control bill this week.
What we will be debating remains to be seen, but Majority Leader Reid has repeatedly suggested it will contain provisions that will erode the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans by creating a national registry of gun owners and limiting the type of firearms and ammunition that they can purchase.
As a result of these and other outstanding questions surrounding the bill, Senators Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) spearheaded an effort to oppose a motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions.
I am committed to protecting the Second Amendment rights of every law-abiding American. I share my colleagues concerns and will support their efforts to stop gun control measures by opposing the motion to proceed and cloture when it is filed.

The Outlast Trials Adds Co-Op to the Survival Horror Series
Red Barrels has announced The Outlast Trials, a co-op entry in the Outlast survival horror series.
The Outlast Trials is set in the same universe as Outlast and Outlast 2, but earlier in the timeline as it takes place during the Cold War. Red Barrels notes that “The Outlast Trials will allow players to face the horrors of the trials by themselves or cooperate with up to 3 other test subjects,” which suggests that the game will take place in some kind of science facility.
The game is currently in development, with no release date currently in sight. Red Barrels co-founder David Chateauneuf says “Now we’ve done our proof of concept, it is time to focus on content creation, variety… and gore.”


British people rate the Duke of Cambridge more highly than his grandmother the Queen, according to ComRes poll.
The 2,000-plus people survey for the Sunday Mirror and Independent on Sunday found that 68% expressed a "favourable" view of the young royal compared with 63% for his grandmother.
But both royals are significantly more popular than the UK's best-known politicians.
The Prince of Wales lagged well behind his mother and son on 43% - but even the heir to the throne enjoyed a better rating than any of the Westminster figures.

BOSTON — With Santa back at the North Pole taking his own long winter’s nap, another famous bearded fellow, Houston Rockets guard James Harden, visited the Garden Thursday night.
He certainly didn’t leave in a jolly mood.
Harden contributed 34 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, but Marcus Smart drew two key offensive fouls against him in the final 7.3 seconds and the Celtics posted another of their incredible comeback victories. Down by 26 in the first half, the Celtics rallied for a 99-98 victory.
It was the eighth time this season that the Celtics won after trailing by 12 or more points. This was the largest comeback of them all.
The Celtics limited Harden to only 7 of 27 shooting (25.9 percent), including just five of 15 3-point attempts, but he was 15 of 15 at the foul line.
It was only the third time in last 55 seasons that an NBA player has scored 34 or more points and shot under 26 percent. On Jan. 20, 1966, Jerry West scored 37 against Baltimore, but shot 25.6 percent (11 of 43) and on Dec. 2, 2003, Allen Iverson scored 35 vs. Toronto, but shot 25 percent (8 of 32).
Harden’s two free throws with 11.6 seconds left put Houston ahead, 98-95, but Smart drew an offensive foul on him with 7.3 seconds left after a Jayson Tatum dunk and another offensive foul with 3 seconds remaining after Al Horford’s hook shot gave Boston its only lead, 99-98. They were Harden’s seventh and eighth turnovers of the game.
Harden cut off his postgame media interview after only a minute-and-a-half and opened it by asking, “How do you only have two officials on national TV game? That’s the first question.”
Tony Brothers and Gediminas Petraitis refereed the game without Mark Lindsay, who had a sore back.
As far as the two charges he was called for, Harden said, “A lot of grabbing, a lot of holding. I mean what am I supposed to, how else am I supposed to get open? A guy has two arms wrapped around my whole body.”
Smart thought he played tough, but clean defense.
“Just get up in him,” Smart said. “It's probably crazy to say with a guy his caliber, but when he can get to dancing and feels comfortable, with anybody that makes it really tough to guard. When you are able to get up in him, and give him one way to go, one option to go, it's hard. It becomes frustrating.”
The Celtics trailed, 62-38, at the half, but they outscored Houston 31-16 in the third and 30-20 in the fourth. Houston made only 5 of 19 shots in the fourth and committed four turnovers.
“We blew a lead,” Harden said, “turned the ball a little bit too much and that was that.”
The Celtics have now defeated the top two teams in the Western Conference, after trailing Golden State by 17 and Houston by 26.
“We knew they were a good team, obviously,” Harden said. “We knew they were going to make shots, they were going to make a run, especially at their home. We just didn’t execute when we needed to, but like I said in the first statement. It’s tough. You can’t have two officials in a professional game. There was a lot of no calls that needed to be called because that changes the dynamic of the game.
“Then you got fastbreak points, no calls, turnovers, or whatever the case may be, but it’s a professional game, national TV. Can’t happen.”
No, Harden wasn’t a happy camper after Houston suffered its four consecutive defeat following a 14-game win streak.
Harden entering the night leading the NBA in scoring with a career-high 32.4 points a game and he also averaged 9.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds. He helped Houston average a league-high 115.1 points a game, but the Celtics allowed the second fewest, 98.3.
Houston led by 26 in the second quarter and took a 62-38 lead into the fourth, but two Kyrie Irving foul shots pulled the Celtics within, 73-64. Then Aron Baynes was called for a foul when he blocked Harden’s drive.
Marcus Morris and coach Brad Stevens were both called for technical fouls and Harden made all four free throws to boost Houston’s lead to 77-64 with 1:56 remaining in the third. Harden made only 1 of 9 field goal attempts in the quarter, but he sank all six of his free throw attempts.
After Terry Rozier’s layup and free throw pulled the Celtics to within, 87-86, with 5:16 left, Harden drained a 3.
After Irving’s foul shot pulled Boston within, 92-91, Harden sank another 3. But Smart made him pay in the end.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercial U.S. test Thursday to diagnose the Zika virus, NBC News reported.
Quest Diagnostics will use the same method that government labs use to look for Zika virus in a patient's blood.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends testing pregnant women with Zika symptoms, those who have traveled to areas where Zika is spreading while they are pregnant and women who have had sex with someone who has Zika.
Doctors can now order the test through Quest, which says it can get results in three to five days. Until now, patients who wanted the test had to go through their state or local health departments.
A spokeswoman for Quest said most patients with a health plan may receive some coverage benefits. Uninsured patients can expect to pay $120 for the test, she said.

"We, together with the Education Office and the Population and Civil Registry Office, will juxtapose the target data to ascertain the number of children who need to be vaccinated," head of disease prevention and control (Jakarta), Dwi Oktavia, said here on Wednesday.
In addition to comparing the data, she said her team is also awaiting technical instructions from the Ministry of Health.
The technical instructions concern the implementation of health checks before vaccinations such as whether the same mechanisms need to be carried out as followed for adults, pregnant women, and elderly citizens, she explained.
"We are waiting for the regulation of the Health Ministry on when the (vaccinations) can be given, as well as the location, whether they will be school-based," Oktavia informed.
Furthermore, the Jakarta provincial government is also looking forward to adding vaccine stocks that will be given to children aged 6-11 years, she said.
Considering that children from the age range have started to attend school, she said she expected vaccinations to be provided in the school environment, as was the case for children aged 12-17 years.

Earlier, the BPOM authorized the use of the Sinovac vaccine for children aged 6 to 11 years, based on the assessments regarding safety and immunity against COVID-19.
"The results of this pediatric clinical trial are more on aspects of safety and immunogenicity. The security aspect shows this (Sinovac) is safe for children aged 6 to 11 years," BPOM head Penny Lukito said here on Monday.
She said that the authorization for the COVID-19 vaccine for children is an important thing to do considering that schools are starting to implement face-to-face learning on a limited basis.
According to the BPOM report, the side-effects of the vaccination in the 6-11 age group were similar to those reported in the 11-17 age group, which was about 11 percent to 17 percent of the total clinical trial subjects.
The authorization for the use of the Sinovac vaccine for children aged 11 to 17 years was given earlier.
The BPOM report showed that immunogenicity, or the vaccine's ability to trigger the body's immune response, was greater in children than in adults: the effectiveness was 96.15 percent in children compared to 89.04 percent in adults.
Lukito explained that the Sinovac vaccine is the first vaccine approved by BPOM for children aged 6-11 years.
She said she hopes there will be other COVID-19 vaccines that can be registered immediately and approved for children aged 6-11 years. (

“While you’re quibbling over who you want to exclude, people are suffering. SEND THE CHECKS.”
March 5, 2021
The decision by the Senate Democratic leadership and President Joe Biden—for no discernible reason—to tweak the emerging coronavirus relief bill in a way that would deny survival checks to around 12 million adults and five million children is drawing sustained blowback, with progressive House Democrats warning that the needless change could come with severe economic and political consequences.
“This is madness. People are struggling and we’re fighting over how many people we want to EXCLUDE from the relief checks,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), vice chair at large of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), wrote in a fiery Twitter thread on Thursday. “What about the family with several kids who made $160k but lost their job in 2020? Or the person who made 80k pre-pandemic but lives in a high-cost-of-living state like NJ or NY? We’re going to cut them out?”
On Wednesday, as Common Dreams reported, Biden and the Senate Democratic leadership signed off on a plan advanced by a faction of conservative Democrats that would accelerate the phase-out of $1,400 direct payments proposed under the emerging $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.
The new framework would completely deny payments to individuals who earned more than $80,000 in either 2019 or 2020, heads of household who earned more than $120,000, and joint filers who earned more than $160,000—a significantly quicker phase-out than the one proposed (pdf) by House Democrats. People can also qualify for checks based on 2021 income if their 2019 and 2020 incomes were too high.
Only individuals earning $75,000 or less, heads of household earning $112,500 or less, and joint filers earning $150,000 or less would receive full $1,400 checks under the new eligibility structure, plus $1,400 per child and adult dependent.

In an analysis released Wednesday, the non-partisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) estimated that 280 million people would receive a full or partial check under the new framework, compared to 297 million under the House structure.
“This is terrible politics and even worse policy,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), the CPC whip. “Why would we take needed relief away from 17 million Americans? The era of austerity is over. We should be getting as much relief to as many people as possible.”
In an appearance on MSNBC Thursday morning, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) echoed the frustrations of his fellow CPC members, noting that the approximately $13 billion in savings produced by the change would represent just 0.05% of the $1.9 trillion package.
“Is it really worth saving 0.05% to have less checks go out?” Khanna asked. “It’s a—overall—very, very good package, and this doesn’t make much sense to me.”

If adopted in the final package, the eligibility change could deny survival checks to millions of voters who received direct payments under President Donald Trump, potentially posing a serious political problem for Biden and the Democratic Party.
Pointing to ITEP’s analysis, New York magazine’s Eric Levitz wrote Wednesday that “whereas 91 percent of U.S. households would have received a check under the previous proposal, now only 86 percent will.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) raised that concern in a statement to the Washington Post on Wednesday, saying she doesn’t “understand the political or economic wisdom in allowing Trump to give more people relief checks than a Democratic administration.”
“It’s a move that makes little-to-no political or economic sense, and targets an element of relief that is most tangibly felt by everyday people,” Ocasio-Cortez later added on Twitter. “An own-goal.”
While House progressives are furious at the last-minute eligibility tweak—which comes as the Senate is set to begin voting on its relief package—it’s unclear whether they will use their considerable leverage in the narrowly Democratic House to fight the change when the Senate bill returns to the House. Democratic leaders in the House and Senate are racing to pass the sprawling legislation before March 14, when emergency unemployment benefits begin expiring for millions of people.
Slate’s Jordan Weissmann wrote Wednesday that “politically, it very much does feel like Democrats are cutting off their nose to spite their face here, given that they made a new round of relief checks a centerpiece of the Georgia runoff campaigns that won them the Senate.”
“The problem is essentially that, because the check amounts phase down so quickly, the payments now effectively create an insanely punitive marginal tax rate on a very narrow band of Americans,” Weissmann explained, citing policy expert Ben Ritz. “A single taxpayer who earned $80,000 last year is going to be hit with a 70 percent tax on their last $5,000 of income, which means some people are going to realize they were working extra hours for basically nothing.”
“In short, thanks to the whims of a couple of moderate lawmakers and the bizarre jetties of Senate procedure,” Weissmann added, “Democrats are having to make a politically unpopular choice that will probably antagonize a modest but vocal number of voters without saving a substantial amount of money that could be put to better use. The World’s Greatest Deliberative Body is at it again.”

Tokyo, October 20, 2022 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that the total sales of the Outlander PHEV model, its flagship crossover SUV, won the first place in the PHEV sales ranking1 in Japan with 10,749 units2 sold in first half of fiscal 2022. In addition, the PHEV model of the Eclipse Cross crossover SUV sold 2,430 units as second place in the PHEV category. With total sales of 13,179 units for both PHEV models, Mitsubishi Motors took the lead in the PHEV category of Japanese market with approximately 65% of total shares.
1. April to September 2022; Survey by the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA)
2. Total sales of the previous generation and current generation model which launched in December 2021.
|Model||First Half of FY 2022|
|Outlander (PHEV model)||10,749 units|
|Eclipse Cross (PHEV model)||2,430 units|
|Total PHEV unit sales in first half of FY2022||13,179 units|
The Outlander PHEV model is Mitsubishi Motors’ flagship model which brings together the best in electrification and all-wheel control technologies. Launched in Japan in December 2021, it has been highly acclaimed by customers for its bold exterior design based on the product concept of “I-Fu-Do-Do” or authentic and majestic in Japanese; its convenient seating arrangement for seven passengers in three rows; and the smooth and powerful acceleration of a twin-motor 4WD. Mitsubishi Motors launched the new model in Australia and New Zealand this year and will start the sales in North America in November 2022.
The Outlander PHEV is the world’s best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV, and the all-new Outlander PHEV combines everything that has made the gasoline-powered 2022 Outlander so successful: bold styling, advanced vehicle architecture, award-winning2 interior, seven-passenger convenience and legendary Mitsubishi SUV capability. To this, the PHEV model adds an all-new version of Mitsubishi Motors’ plug-in hybrid electric drivetrain, boasting more power and torque, greater all-electric range and the latest and most sophisticated version of Mitsubishi’s confidence-inspiring Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC)3 all-wheel drive system.
The seven-passenger 2023 Outlander PHEV offers up to 38 miles of all-electric range, up to 420 miles of overall range4 and is the only plug-in hybrid on the market with available DC fast-charging capability (SEL and above models), which can fill the 20kWh battery pack to 80% capacity in just 38 minutes.The 2023 Outlander PHEV also features Mitsubishi’s new “Innovative Pedal” technology, which allows near-one-pedal acceleration and deceleration, similar to full battery electric vehicles. This system further differentiates the Outlander PHEV from other plug-in hybrids, and highlights the vehicle’s electric-first design philosophy.

As a result of its research and development of electrified vehicles since 1964, Mitsubishi Motors launched the i-MiEV – the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle – in 2009. The company then introduced the Outlander PHEV – the world’s first plug-in hybrid electric SUV – in 2013, and added the Eclipse Cross PHEV model to the line-up in 2020. The company has been taking the lead in the PHEV category with approximately 310,000 units of Outlander PHEV sold in more than 60 countries around the world. With these solutions, Mitsubishi Motors will continue to contribute to solving climate change and energy-related problems and achieve carbon neutrality.
“The multi-award winning Mitsubishi Outlander’s body style has surpassed the conventional sedan in popularity, mostly because of functionality. This makes the spacious, but stylish Outlander a perfect fit for our local SA launch early in 2023,” explains Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).


The president of Huawei’s Carrier Business Group argued operators’ efforts to improve energy efficiency would be boosted by establishing a standard measure for the entire industry, asserting in a speech action is needed to avert a carbon emissions crisis.
During the Win-Win Huawei Innovation Week, Ryan Ding (pictured) warned energy efficiency improvements were required to help offset rapid rises in carbon emissions over the next five to ten years resulting from soaring global mobile data traffic.
“Every major advancement in history has been accompanied by a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of information transmission,” the executive said.
Establishing an industry-wide standard for measuring energy efficiency would smooth operators’ broader efforts by establishing a baseline to gauge progress and guide future developments.
Ding cited independent research noting carbon emissions could grow threefold if a predicted double-digit rise in data traffic between 2020 and 2030 is realised, adding the industry faces an “unprecedented challenge” due to digitalisation.
He pointed to ITU predictions the ICT industry must cut carbon emissions by a minimum of 45 per cent by 2030 to meet UN climate change goals: the industry “must urgently achieve carbon peak” and neutrality.
In addition to the positive societal aspects, Ding noted improved energy efficiency would help lower operators’ opex, and aid the migration of mobile users from legacy networks to 4G and 5G.Subscribe to our daily newsletter Back


Earlier this month, 97 percent of Puerto Ricans who participated in a non-binding referendum voted in favor of Puerto Rico becoming the 51st U.S. state.
Puerto Rico has been officially classified as a U.S. commonwealth since it was annexed during the Spanish-American War of 1898. The territory has its own constitution, its own governor, has no vote in U.S. Congress and its residents only pay U.S. federal income tax on work performed within U.S. states. However, Puerto Rican residents pay into the U.S. Social Security system and have access to Medicare and Medicade. They can vote in presidential primary elections, but not the actual U.S. presidential elections.
Puerto Rico is currently mired in a debt crisis that has been building for decades. In May, Puerto Rico filed for municipal bankruptcy due to the fact it cannot pay back more than $70 billion in debt. Poverty is common, and unemployment is high. Puerto Ricans who voted in the referendum likely hope that inclusion as the 51st state could help jump-start the territory’s economy.
Path To Statehood
Unfortunately for Puerto Rico, residents have no official say in whether or not the territory becomes a state. The fate of Puerto Rico lies in the U.S. Congress, which would need to pass a statute admitting Puerto Rico as the 51st state. This vote is the same process that each new U.S. state since the 13 original colonies has undergone to gain statehood.
Current Puerto Rican governor Ricardo Rossello has said he plans to take the referendum results to Washington and plead his case to Congress that Puerto Rico be admitted as the 51st state. However, the fact that only 23 percent of Puerto Rico’s eligible voters participated in the referendum will likely weaken Rossello’s case.
What Does It Mean For America?
For the rest of Americans, Puerto Rico’s potential admission as a state likely wouldn’t change much. Proponents of Puerto Rican statehood have even created the 51-star flag seen below to show how seamless the transition could be.
If Puerto Rio follows the same path that Alaska and Hawaii took when they became states, the Senate would add two additional seats. However, the House of Representatives would likely stay at 435 total seats, meaning Puerto Rico could reduce certain other states’ representation. Puerto Rico would be given one automatic House seat, and would likely gain four additional seats based on population, according to The Social Contract.
Puerto Rican voters typically vote more Democratic than Republican, but the website PR51st.com says Puerto Ricans are “typically more socially conservative than the Democratic Party on the mainland” and that it would be “impossible to predict how Puerto Rico would vote” in U.S. elections.
In a general sense, Puerto Rico could benefit from potential job growth and economic expansion if it becomes a state. Puerto Ricans would also enjoy the right to vote in the U.S. presidential elections, and the U.S. federal government would generate additional revenue from sales and income taxes.
On the other hand, the U.S. would add Puerto Rico’s high crime, poverty and unemployment rates to its national statistics, and the U.S. would inherit all of Puerto Rico’s economic problems.
Americans Weigh In
USA Today recently asked Americans to weigh in with their thoughts about adding Puerto Rico as a state, and the responses were mostly negative. Readers were mostly concerned about the potential economic impact of the decision.
For now, Puerto Rico will maintain its territory status. Amid all the economic turmoil in Puerto Rico this year, the SPDR Series Trust (NYSE: HYMB), which has significant exposure to Puerto Rican municipal bonds, is up 2.1 percent.

Nepal may not be a go-to choice when Thais think about travel destinations like they do Japan, Hong Kong or South Korea. We’ll go as far as saying that the landlocked country is a bit of mystery. But if you’re up for diverse cultures, natural beauties and a little adventure, Nepal is it!
We recently joined a trip to Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital city, for a comfy stay at Fairfield by Marriott Kathmandu and did some sightseeing. It was truly something different.
It took about 20 minutes on a car from Tribhuvan International Airport to the hotel and we passed many interesting sights; the sacred Bagmati River with buildings on both sides of its banks; the city’s green lung or Bhandarkhal Jungle garden; the large Kamal Pokhari pond where locals stroll; the colourful shophouses and the utility poles with entangled wires that can put Bangkok to shame.
The modern-looking Fairfield by Marriott Kathmandu is a just short walk into an alley off the main road Tridevi Sadak. The main and perhaps biggest plus we noticed from the get-go is its location in Thamel, the capital’s tourist area. This means there are plenty of activities and things to enjoy within walking distance. We checked into one of the 115 Deluxe Rooms, which are basically the same but you can choose between a king bed or twin beds.
A stay here is no-frills. You have all the basics for a comfy stay but don’t expect bells and whistles. The contemporary room averages at around 18m² in size and each unit contains everything to make yourself feel at home (well, unless you’re high maintenance). The desk faces a large window offering a view of the city and a mountain range on the horizon while the bathroom has a marble interior for a touch of luxury. Local motifs found on pillowcases, bed covers and curtains brighten up the room. The most important thing is a quality and comfy bed, and we slept soundly throughout our stay. What the room lacks in space, is made up by attentive service and friendly staff.
Get your big breakfast buffet at the all-day dining Kava restaurant and bar, the hotel’s main FB outlet. Order pancakes, dosa, uttapam, puri bhaji, stuffed paratha to your heart’s (and stomach’s) content. You can also put together your own bowl of congee with garnishes and toppings of your choice. If you feel peckish at anytime of the day, you can grab a snack at The Market corner, which is in the lobby, too. The hotel also helps you stay healthy with a 24/7 fitness centre.
We noticed that many guests were there for leisure but the hotel provides facilities geared towards business travellers as well, namely two meeting rooms and a business centre.
The hotel is within the Thamel area — toward its periphery to be more exact. This means almost everything is an easy walk away. You can spend a day in the neighbourhood shopping for nice (or naughty) souvenirs. A pashmina scarf for your ma. A mini prayer wheel for your pa. A cute DIY tika powder kit for your niece (or yourself — we don’t judge). And a deck of Kamasutra playing cards for your “friend”. Traditional five-coloured prayer flags hung over our heads from one side of the road to the other, making the walk even more pleasant. Ride a colourful rickshaw. It may not look strong enough, but we tried it and it survived the weight of two people (one thin, one chubby).
Of course, do take time browsing through different shops for the best bargains. You’ll meet many street vendors, too and some maybe “very persistent” in their sale tactics. If you don’t want to engage don’t make any eye contact. The sheer multitude of sights and sounds before your eyes is awe-inspiring and you’ll be camera happy. Those who like street photography will have a field day.
The Great Boudha Stupa
We also highly recommend the Garden of Dreams. It’s just around the corner from the hotel — like walking from your home to a 7-Eleven in front of your soi. It’s a really nice garden with a gallery, bar, restaurant and beautiful structures inside. Obviously, every corner is Instagram worthy. Don’t be early though if you prefer a clear shot as staff may still be watering the plants. In the late afternoon leading up to the evening, there are some couples displaying mild PDA on the grounds. We say late mornings should be the best time to get beautiful shots and to chillax on the grass. Was it worth 200 Nepalese rupees (around B64) to get in? Definitely.
After a long day of exploring the neighbourhood, you may want to book, in advance, a relaxing sesh with a blind masseur at the Seeing Hands Clinic. The blind masseurs speak English well and are friendly. If you’ve filled your quota of local flavours, there are many restaurants and bars to check out. Pasta and pizza fans should stop by Fire and Ice for a hot slice. Or enjoy a proper dinner with live music in the enchanting atmosphere of New Orleans restaurant.
Fairfield by Marriott Kathmandu fares well in our books given its hospitable and attentive staff and very central location that automatically comes with easy access to many attractions. If you want to expand your horizons in Kathmandu without forgoing the comfort of a hotel, Fairfield is a good and affordable choice.
Fairfield By Marriott Kathmandu, Tridevi Marg, KMC — 29, Thamel, Kathmandu / www.fairfieldkathmandu.com / Approximately B3,500 per night.
We had an opportunity to explore well beyond Thamel, thanks to Fairfield by Marriott Kathmandu. Here are a few activities we recommend during a visit to Kathmandu:
Garden of Dreams.
Be a good Buddhist and stop by The Great Boudha Stupa, a Unesco World Heritage site. The famous giant stupa stands tall at 141 feet in the centre with a row of shophouses that forms a circle around it. The grand stupa contains nine elements, each of which has its own intricate symbol and meaning. There are other sacred sites within its precincts and we stopped at Guru Lhakhang Monastery to receive blessings from the local monks and circumambulate a red big prayer wheel. Pro tips according to the locals: do it once for a long life and do it 108 times to attain Nirvana. Obviously, we didn’t have enough time to walk around it 108 times because we’re still here. A good spot for souvenir shopping.
Take a rickshaw ride to Unesco-site Kathmandu Durbar Square to marvel at the ancient temples, palaces and shrines. The damage caused by the 2015 earthquake is still apparent but these structures are still sights to behold.
Patan Durbar Square.
The other Unesco-site we visited is Patan Durbar Square where we checked a former palace complex. One of the pieces de resistance is Tusha Hiti, a sunken bath lined with stone carvings in Sundari Chowk courtyard. Given its sheer and intricate beauty, it’s no wonder it served as a bathing pool for the kings. The Patan Museum is next door and houses many beautiful artefacts.
For people who spend most of their time at their desks (probably you, too), the closest (and safest) way to get to the top of Mount Everest is to board a Buddha Air plane to check out all the famous peaks. Have your camera ready, while the air hostesses guide you through the sights on this short flight. Bonus: You get to be in the cockpit with the pilots, too.

For more than four years, NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission has explored the mysteries of the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere. More recently, the spacecraft has gotten up close and personal with that same expanse of gas.
Earlier this year, MAVEN dipped into the highest reaches of Mars’ atmosphere over a two-month “aerobraking” campaign, using the resistance there to slow itself down in space and shift the dynamics of its orbit.
Those maneuvers ushered in a new era for MAVEN and for LASP, which leads the overall mission and the science operations for MAVEN, and built two of its instruments.
Scientists involved in NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, which is being led by the LASP team at the University of Colorado Boulder, have identified the process that appears to have played a key role in the transition of the Martian climate from an early, warm and wet environment that might have supported surface life to the cold, arid planet Mars is today.
MAVEN data have enabled researchers to determine the rate at which the Martian atmosphere currently is losing gas to space via stripping by the solar wind. The findings reveal that the erosion of Mars’ atmosphere increases significantly during solar storms.

Q: In light of the realities you discussed last week (see blog post of Aug. 24), what keeps you motivated to make art?Agosto 31, 2013
A: In essence it’s that I have always worked much harder for love than for money. I absolutely love my work, my creative process, and my chosen life. I have experienced much tragedy – no doubt there is more to come – but through it all, my journey as an artist is a continual adventure that gives me the ultimate freedom to spend my time on this earth as I want. In my work I make the rules, set my own tasks, and resolve them on my own timetable. What could be better than that?
Furthermore, I know that I have a gift and with that comes a profound responsibility, an obligation to develop and use it to the best of my ability, regardless of what it may cost. And when I say “cost,” I do not mean only money. Art is a calling and all self-respecting artists do whatever is necessary to use and express our gifts.
In “The Gift” Lewis Hyde says, “A gift is a thing we do not get by our own efforts. We cannot buy it, we cannot acquire it through an act of will. It is bestowed upon us. Thus we rightly speak of “talent” as a “gift” for although a talent can be perfected through an act of will, no effort in the world can cause its initial appearance. Mozart, composing on the harpsichord at the age of four, had a gift.”

President Bush, Whatever happened to the Anti-Illegal stance you had back in 1995???
Someone sold him on the idea of a "new America".
|We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.
Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.
For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.
As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.
George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
He didn't have to contend with the NGOs back in 1995. Thank Clinton for the gift that keeps on giving.

There either is or is not, that’s the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it’s red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I’m not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I’m going to tell it the way I remember it.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is an innovative, original episodic video and social media series produced for the web. Adapting Pride and Prejudice to the modern era, Lizzie Bennet tells the classic Jane Austen tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
The holiday season is bringing more than cheer for actress Jessica Capshaw. The Grey’s Anatomy star announced on Monday that she and her husband, Honest Company co-founder Christopher Gavigan, are expecting their fourth child. “The holidays have certainly arrived … All of our lives are being added to by the lights, the music and cheer!!” she captioned a photo of her family at a Christmas tree farm on Instagram. “This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…”
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their “headshot”.Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you’re using a snapshot, it’s like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I’m sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it’s true! Don’t tell me you’re destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.
The Grinch from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical stole the spotlight at the Empire State Building’s 86th Floor Observatory December 14, 2012, to promote the musical’s limited holiday engagement. Discover the magic of Dr. Seuss’ classic holiday tale as it comes to life on stage. Featuring the hit songs “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas,” The Grinch discovers there’s more to Christmas then he bargained for in this heart-warming holiday classic.

inVia Robotics Partners with Rufus Labs to Increase Intelligence and Productivity in Warehouses
With the first joint deployment of inVia Logic AI-driven software, and Rufus WorkHero connected operator technology, Cargo Cove 3PL will see immediate benefit across warehouse configuration optimization, worker productivity, and visibility analytics.
FREMONT, CA: inVia Robotics, the provider of the next generation of warehouse automation solutions for e-commerce, and Rufus Labs, makers of intelligent wearable warehouse technology and workforce analytics software, announced a strategic partnership to increase intelligence and productivity in warehouses through their subscription offerings. The collaboration directly addresses warehouse labor shortages that the industry currently faces, allowing warehouse employees to work more efficiently and supercharging workforce productivity.
Combining these two technologies ensures a continuous flow of orders through the warehouse that increases picking rates with existing labor. inVia Picker robots autonomously retrieve ordered items and bring them to a stationary picker. That worker is directed by inViaPickMate software running on Rufus' android wearables and tablets to scan the items, place them in an order bin, and then scan the bin. This cycle repeats and is continuously improved with intelligence from inVia Logic and Rufus Labs WorkHero software to create the most efficient movement of goods and people throughout the warehouse to increase productivity.
As e-commerce demand grows, inVia and Rufus Labs help warehouses accelerate digitization without requiring large capital expenditures. The two companies together offer an approach that includes software to optimize the relationship between inventory, people, and robots in the warehouse and autonomous mobile robots and wearable devices. Both inVia and Rufus systems integrate with most warehouse management and enterprise resource planning systems. Additionally, the inVia Connect translation tool is built into inVia's AI software and seamlessly matches data fields across systems, simplifying a costly and complicated systems integration process that traditionally took months to complete.
inVia's unique Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model allows customers to pay only for the services they use, keeping investment targeted and delivering faster ROI. The system includes inVia Logic AI-driven software and inVia Picker robots. The system optimizes inventory placement, directs people or robots on the most efficient paths, and orchestrates workflows to ensure idle time is minimized.
"inVia Logic alone doubles worker's productivity and paves the way to later quadruple productivity once inVia Picker robots are deployed. With the added efficiencies introduced with Rufus Labs' wearable technology, we expect productivity to reach new highs in our shared customers' facilities," said LiorElazary, chief executive officer and co-founder of inVia Robotics.
Rufus Labs' WorkHero is a complete Productivity-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that includes workforce analytics software, rugged wearable technology, and superhuman support. Wearable computers and barcode scanners offer real-time scanning metrics, scan, and non-scan labor task management, and workforce data to continually improve warehouse operations. The wearable barcode scanner is modular, allowing warehouse workers to choose their ergonomic preference by sliding the scanning module into a ring, glove, or palm scanner attachment. Additionally, the Rufus RADD Tab (Android tablet) provides operators in material handling vehicles or warehouse carts with hands-free access to supply chain applications they need to complete tasks faster and more accurately.
"Optimizing humans and robots in the warehouse is key to future sustainability, increased productivity, and ensuring a safe environment for workers. Rufus WorkHero already cuts pick time in half and provides added safety features to pickers. Our partnership with inVia will continue to improve throughput for our mutual customers, and allow for future innovations between humans and machines," said the chief executive officer and founder of Rufus Labs, Gabe Grifoni.
With the first joint deployment of inVia Logic AI-driven software, and Rufus WorkHero connected operator technology, Cargo Cove 3PL will see immediate benefit across warehouse configuration optimization, worker productivity, and visibility analytics. Cargo Cove expects to double productivity as a result of the joint integration. With options to scale and add services as needed through the subscription model, 3PLs can benefit from the consistent ability to quickly and efficiently automate in line with business growth.

Visiting the Islands
Islas del Rosario, is a group of beautiful coral reef islands, great for aquatic activities or to simply relax and enjoy nature.
First Stop Hotel Pedro Majagua So beautiful and peaceful, my sister and I took a walk into the heart of the island, and made it all the way into the islands local town, not much of a town to be honest. But it was fun to explore!
It is a very small island, there are a couple of hostels, we crossed many backpacker even though September is not really consider high season. If you like nature this is the place to go. The island also offers “pasadia”, you can visit for the day, swim, eat and enjoy the island, they have boat rides that depart from Cartagena and other locations, visit their site for more information.
This was our room, very eco-chic, all rooms have ac, so you don’t have to worry about the heat 😉
Our second stop, Isla del Encanto
The rooms are amazing, we were on the second level, all in wood, again really eco-chic with fantastic views to the sea. This is another place to relax, the food was very good, mostly local cuisine, the cocktails were fantastic and the service was also great.
This location also offers, day visits, so you can enjoy the installations, activities and amenities for one full day, the access is also by boat, 1 hour ride from Cartagena to Isla del Encanto.
Remember to take cash with you, there are no ATM’s on the islands!
I have to mention that, this was the first time I was travelling with my sister, since I got married, and moved to Canada, all I can say is that it was a wonderful experience to spend time with both her an my mom, only the three of us!
I hope you enjoy this post, let me know in the comments if you have been or plan to travel to Colombia.

Dear Ms. Waldman,
I really liked your poem. My name in Anna. I am in 5th grade. I go to school in Duluth, MN. We are learning about poetry in class. So far we have written a Haiku, Cinquain, and Acrostic.
