The greatest show on Earth

The Coral Triangle is home to the richest coral reefs on the planet. The region stretches from Malaysia in the west, to the Solomon Islands in the east, and reaches as far north as the Philippines. At its heart, are the bio-diverse tropical waters of Indonesia and a habitat for marine life like nowhere else on earth.

For Coral Triangle Safaris, the travel company behind 26m sailing yacht Sequoia, it’s
this unique environment that gives the region such special appeal. Indonesia comprises over 17,500 islands and the region’s remote quality and scarcity of luxury hotels mean that true exploratory adventure is still to be found.

The best way to see this part of the world, one of the few remaining un-spoilt wonderlands, is undoubtedly by boat. Allowing you to cover vast distances and quite literally broaden your horizon, this self-sufficient means of travel offers independent autonomy and unlimited opportunity.

Offering charters through Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago and the Komodo National Park, Coral Triangle Safaris have become experts in seeking out the rare and wonderful wildlife to be seen below the water’s surface and on its shores. Just like with an African Safari, Sequoia’s professional crew and experienced guides will lead you on a search of Indonesia’s ‘Famous Four’ – whale sharks, manta rays, birds of paradise and Komodo dragons.

Raja Ampat is widely regarded as the world’s number one destination for scuba diving and snorkelling. Located in Indonesia’s West Papua province, this island oasis is home to over 31,000 different species of fish, sharks, turtles and manta rays. Taking a dip in the ocean here has been described as being like stepping into a tropical aquarium. The vivacity of colour is astounding and the abundance of life a reassuring and inspiring indication that all is not lost.

The isolated nature of the region makes it entirely possible for you to complete your trip without seeing another human being, outside of the crew and those you are travelling with. If you’d like to gain an understanding of what life is like for the local communities however, cultural experiences can be arranged with visits to tribes and on-shore settlements that have remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years.

At the Komodo National Park, the underwater adventure continues but it’s the shore-stalking Komodo dragons that steal the show. To take a walk through the park is to take a step back in time to a prehistoric age, as you track Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. The National Park has been a World Heritage Site for over 30 years and both the islands and the reefs are heavily protected, which has given the native flora and fauna a chance to flourish.

Whale sharks are seasonal and migratory to the Indonesian region, however the Coral Triangle Safaris’ crew know that your best chance of a face-to-face meeting with these smiling giants of the sea is to search beneath the Bagans (traditional Indonesian fishing pontoons).  Whale sharks are known to be attracted to these and the associated fishing activity. The sharks will swim up to the surface, making this an encounter suitable for both scuba divers and snorkelers.

The yacht itself, and your home during the expedition, is a handcrafted wooden vessel with spacious lounge areas and expansive deck spaces, where one can relax and simply watch the waves pass by. There are three beautifully appointed suites, able to accommodate six guests, and the authentic yet luxury styling of the yacht adds a timeless charm. Every detail of the yacht has been carefully considered, with furniture made by local artisans and everything aboard selected with sustainability in mind.

In a commitment to minimising their environmental impact, Coral Triangle Safaris don’t have any single-use plastics onboard and products containing palm oil, or the production of which contribute to deforestation, are also avoided.

The aquatic treasures of the Coral Triangle can be enjoyed by virtually any one, at any age, at any level of physical ability – the only equipment needed are a mask, snorkel and fins! Join us on an Indonesian adventure.

    How times have changed. I doubt that we would have read many sentences like this one a few years.

    “The isolated nature of the region makes it entirely possible for you to complete your trip without seeing another human being, outside of the crew and those you are travelling with.”

    But that’s what we all want now. Adventurous travel but within our safe bubbles. I’d be very happy with that.

    • Danny says:

      It’s so strange but I was just thinking about taking a trip like that! When I was in Bali I had a chance to explore the northeast of the island and once you get away from the touristy areas, it’s possible to feel like you’re really in a remote place. It’s rare to find that but it’s out there!

  2. Gary Childerly says:

    I’ve been a lucky man and travelled many a mile and have seen more than my fair share of the planet (for now we won’t get into a discussion on my carbon footprint ….)

    It is reassuring to read about somewhere that I never knew about, a place that is off the beaten track. The Coral Triangle looks pristine clean and as relatively undiscovered as any place is going to be in the 21st century.

  3. Natasha Little says:

    Sounds like Coral Triangle Safaris have carved out a unique niche to get people to the heart of this place like nothing else can. The region looks incredible, almost too good to be true. So with Sequoia, you kind of get a safari experience with the yacht, right? That’s pretty cool, I wouldn’t have really expected that. I’d love to see the wildlife there. Silly question then but is it possible to scuba dive during the excursion directly from the yacht? Seeing the reefs and marine life here really would be incredible. I’d like to go to the Komodo Nat Park too, I’ve read about it before on here I think because I remember seeing about the dragons and the snorkelling you can do there.

    Gorgeous yacht, and it’s always reassuring to know that sustainability has been a factor in its development. That’ll be the future of ratings for travel I think, in terms of the eco friendly and sustainability features.

  4. Jen says:

    There are probably many places that would like to claim that they are “The Greatest Show on Earth” but after seeing these breath-taking images I can see why the Coral Triangle has got a realistic shot at the title.

    • Sandy says:

      Yeah, and I just had to look up the place name for myself. I saw that there are 500 different species of corals there, which is almost unfathomable. I had no idea this even existed!

  5. Amanda says:

    I gotta say, the pictures in this post are really great. Every single one is so perfect. I’m such a fan of travel photography, and these are just beautiful.

  6. Sally Arnold says:

    The bedroom on board Sequoia looks quite spacious, in fact there’s probably more space there than in some hotel rooms where I’ve stayed.

    It must be brilliant to wake-up to a different view every morning and the excitement that you’ve got a whole new area to explore.

  7. Lies (Lisa) Sol says:

    I’ve been lucky enough to visit Indonesia, including Komodo and Raja Ampat several times and cannot wait to get back. The diving is outstanding (first time I’d seen a Wobbegong shark), the Komodo dragons are something else, treks to the viewpoints were taxing but wonderful and the highlights of Raja Ampat -for me the Arborek village, the wonderland of the Tomolol Cave, Manta Sandy- I will never forget.

America Forward Coalition Members Step up During Crisis (Vol. 28)

Every month, America Forward is highlighting a few examples of the vital work being done by our Coalition members to support students, families, educators, workers, elected leaders, advocates, and communities across the country. If your organization has resources, an announcement, or a story that you would like to see included, please send it to

Alternative Staffing Alliance

To help their community stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond – both to one another and to timely and relevant information – the Alternative Staffing Alliance has created a dedicated space on their webpage for key resources and community events. They offer access to virtual roundtables; the Checkr Fair Assessment Course, an hour-long online course and certification that, “defines background report terminology and uses scenarios to help businesses comply with EEOC guidelines and refine their hiring criteria and rationale for assessing candidates”; a Vision 2020 workbook, and other resources.

The Opportunity Network (OppNet)

At the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, OppNet worked quickly to ensure that their response to the pandemic was equitable and that all of their students could continue to learn and thrive, despite major shifts in education delivery that created and exacerbated the conditions for wide-spread learning loss. Understanding that the same communities disproportionately impacted by the virus were also those most likely to be left behind in recovery efforts, OppNet launched UninterruptED: Unstoppable Learning, “a robust and comprehensive open-access learning platform, that [is] easily and freely accessible by any first-generation student and young person of color seeking dynamic online lessons.”

Turnaround for Children

As communities across the country continue to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, Turnaround has created a blog series, Responding to Crisis Within A Tiered Supports System, to help educators and school leaders build better school crisis plans. The series includes a range of tools and resources about what a tiered support system is, why a school crisis plan is important, the roles and responsibilities of school members, how to engage families, how to monitor progress, and more.

College Forward

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen the financial burden on many students pursuing higher education. To help current and prospective college and university students, and their families, navigate financial aid options, College Forward has put together FAFSA 101, a resource full of FAFSA information covering “the who, what, when, where, and why of applying for federal aid.”

Over the past nine months, educators across the country have had to adjust to a drastically changed education landscape. To highlight the extraordinary efforts of teachers, school leaders, and others, Transcend and the Association of School Administrators came together to produce the Leading During Coronavirus Series, a blog focused on the “inspiring and actionable stories of leadership from across our education system: young people, families, educators, principals, superintendents and other system leaders, non-profits, business, policy-makers, and more,” during the COVID-19 crisis.

AppleTree Institute

COVID-19 continues to keep children out of classrooms across the country, and many parents are engaging more with their children’s learning than ever before. As a resource for parents of young children, AppleTree Institute created this video, Using Praise and Rewards with Your Child (and subsequent PDF), focused on “helpful tips and strategies…on how to effectively reward and praise behavior,” as part of their Every Child Ready program.

Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth was an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist who is best-known for her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech on gender inequality that she delivered at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851. Born into slavery, Truth escaped as a young woman and later successful sued her former owner to gain custody of her son, becoming the first African-American woman to win such a case against a white man.

CyberSecurity 2020 - An Empirical Study of Key Generation in Cryptographic Ransomware

Ransomware acquire the leverage necessary for ransom extraction via encryption of irreplaceable data. Successful encryption requires secure key generation and therefore comprehension of key generation strategies deployed in ransomware is critical for developing effective response and recovery solutions. This paper presents a systematic study of key generation strategies observed in modern ransomware with the goal of facilitating swift identification of cryptographically insecure and operationally nonviable key routines in novel threats. Empirical evidence of the identified strategies is provided in the form of code snippets and disassembly of real-world ransomware. Additionally, the identified strategies are mapped to a timeline based on the actual ransomware samples where these strategies were observed. Finally, a list of 10 questions provides guidance in recognizing the critical intricacies of key generation and deployment in novel ransomware.

Texas Kidnapping

Under federal and state law, kidnapping is commonly defined as the taking of a person from one place to another against their will, or the confinement of a person to a controlled space. Some kidnapping laws require that the taking or confinement be for an unlawful purpose, such as extortion or the facilitation of another crime. Additionally, a parent without legal custody rights may be charged with kidnapping for taking their own child in certain circumstances.

Federal vs. State Kidnapping Laws

Most kidnapping cases are prosecuted on the state level. However, federal authorities will typically get involved and file federal charges if the kidnapping crosses state lines. Federal criminal code (18 U.S.C. Section 1201) makes kidnapping a serious felony offence, with prison sentences of 20 or more years, depending on prior convictions and the circumstances of the case. Federal law prosecutes international parental kidnapping under a different code (18 U.S.C. Section 1204), allowing for three-year prison sentences upon conviction.

International Child Abduction Laws

Minors are increasingly being abducted not only across state lines but international lines as well. If this happens, the courts of that particular country will generally have jurisdiction over the case. International civil law will also play a role as more than 80 countries have adopted the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, a treaty designed to provide an expedient method of returning abducted children to their home countries.

While the Hague Convention focuses on custody matters (as opposed to criminal punishment), the treaty doesn’t address who should have custody of the child; only where the custody case should be heard. Remember, every kidnapping case is different, particularly when it involves crossing international lines. You’ll want to speak to a criminal law attorney who is experienced with international kidnapping laws to learn more.

AMBER Alerts

America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) is an emergency response system used in all 50 states that utilize the media and other broadcasting methods (such as text messages) to alert the community about allegedly missing persons. While the system can be used to disseminate information about adults, it’s frequently used for missing children. Once law enforcement determines that a child has been abducted, AMBER Alerts will interrupt regular broadcasting on televisions, radios and the Internet with the child’s specific identifying information.

If you believe that you have seen the child or other allegedly abducted person, contact your local law enforcement agency or call 911 immediately. According to the Department of Justice, 941 children have been recovered as of January 2019 specifically because of AMBER alerts.

Defences to Kidnapping

There are a number of possible legal defences to the crime of kidnapping, depending on which state’s kidnapping laws have allegedly been violated. Generally, a defendant may be able to assert the following defences:

  • The victim consented to being moved or to accompanying the defendant;
  • Lack of intent to use deadly force;
  • Lack of knowledge, mistake, ignorance;
  • The defendant is a relative of the victim;
  • Insanity, mental disease, or defect.

Kidnapping Laws: Additional Resources

  • What Legal Remedies are Available if a Parent Abducts a Child?
  • National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
  • FBI: Resources for Parents

Charged with Violating Kidnapping Laws? Contact a Local Attorney

There are state and federal laws that apply to kidnapping, which may have different elements that a prosecutor will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Whether you’re convicted of this charge will ultimately rest in a jury of your peers. If you’ve been charged with kidnapping, it’s in your best interest to get in touch with a local criminal defence attorney who can help you make your case with the strongest evidence available.

Fix No Internet Connection Or Waiting For Network Error of Messenger

If you are using Facebook Messenger on mobile but you are continuously getting some error message such as “No Internet Connection” or “Waiting for network,” do check out this article to find out some of the best solutions to troubleshoot this error. You can face this problem irrespective of the mobile platform. Also, it can appear even when your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network or cellular data connection. It doesn’t matter why you have got this error; you can follow these following tips and tricks to get it solved.

Fix No Internet Connection Or Waiting For Network Error of Messenger

In the initial days of Facebook, they used to have the messaging option as an in-built function of the Facebook app. However, things have changed over the years. As on today, if you are using the Facebook mobile app, you cannot chat with friends. You have to install another app called Facebook Messenger, which will let you send or receive the message to/from your friends on Facebook. However, this app may show some problems, and as a result, you won’t be able to check new messages. Therefore, if you want to fix that problem, you might have to go through these following tutorials.

Solution #1: Verify Your Internet Connection

If you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, do check if that Wi-Fi network’s internet connection is working correctly or not. Many time you may connect your phone to a router, but that doesn’t broadcast a valid internet connection. At such moments, you can face this problem. Therefore, check if your Wi-Fi router has a proper internet connection or not. For that, you can just open a browser and try to open a webpage (e.g., If it opens the webpage, it has a valid internet connection, and you should follow the following tutorials to fix the error message in Messenger. However, if it doesn’t open the webpage, you have to change your internet connection. Not only Wi-Fi but also you should check the same if you are using the cellular data connection.

Solution #2: Enable Roaming

If you have a valid data pack and you are in roaming, your phone might not provide internet connection. Since carriers charge a different price for internet connection while being in a roaming area, almost all the mobile phones turn off the data connection when you cross the home circle. Therefore, follow these steps to enable internet connection when roaming.

Android Users:

Open the Settings app and go to Network & Internet.

After that, tap on the Mobile Network option.

Enable Roaming on Android

Here you can find an option called Roaming. Use the toggle button to enable it.

iOS Users:

Open the Settings app and go to Cellular option.

Turn on your mobile data connection and then, go to Cellular Data Options.

Toggle the button that says Data Roaming.

Enable Roaming on iOS

After that, check if you can use internet on your phone or not. If yes, do check if the Messenger app is working fine or not.

Solution #3: Turn On And Off Airplane Mode

Sometimes it is just some internal problem, and you may not be able to fix that manually. As it is an internet connection related error message, you can try this step. Just turn on the airplane mode and turn it off. It will reset all the data connection-related options (not to default). Many people have got help from this method, and you should try it as well.

Solution #4: Enable Background Data Usage

Some apps like Messenger need data connection all the times so that it can show new chat notification, keep everything updated and so on. Therefore, you should turn it on if it is turned off by default. To do that, follow the following steps.

Android Users:

Open the Settings app and go to Apps & notifications.

Find out Messenger and tap on it.

You will find an option called Data usage. Click this button.

Enable Background Data Usage

On the next screen, you will get another option called Background data. Use the toggle button to enable it.

iOS Users:

On iOS, it is called Background App Refresh. To utilize this functionality, do follow these steps.

At first, open the Settings app and go to General settings.

Here you can find an option called Background App Refresh.

Now you should find the Messenger option. If the toggle button indicates that it is deactivated, you need to use the same button to enable this option.

Alternatively, you can open the Settings app >> Messenger. Here you will get an option called Background App Refresh. Toggle this button to turn it on.

That’s all! Now check whether it solves your problem or not.

Solution #5: Disable Battery Saver

It doesn’t matter whether you are using Android or iOS; you can certainly find a common option called battery saver. For some people, it works pretty well. Background saver works differently. It kills some of the background processes, blocks apps from using the data connection, and so on. That might be a reason why you are getting such problems on your mobile. Therefore, this is a very wise choice to disable battery saver for a particular amount of time and check if it solves the issue or not.

Android Users:

Open up the status menu bar options. Here you should find a button called Battery Saver. Just tap this button to disable battery saver on your mobile.

iOS Users:

Open the Control Center on your iPhone. You should find a battery related icon in Control Center. Tap this button to disable the battery saver. After being disabled, it should turn into white and black icon instead of a yellow and white icon.

Solution #6: Reset/Reinstall Messenger App

Although this is not possible on iPhone or other iOS devices, you can easily reset the Messenger app on Android mobiles. To do so, you need to follow these steps.

Open the Settings app and click the Apps & notifications option.

Select the Messenger app. Here you should find the option called Storage.

On the next screen, you can find two options, i.e., Clear storage and Clear cache. Make use of these two options to reset the Messenger app.

Reset Messenger App on Android

iOS users can uninstall the app and reinstall it from the App Store.

Solution #7: Change Internet Connection

As it is an internet connection related problem, you should take a deeper look at your existing internet connectivity. No matter whether you are using mobile data or the Wi-Fi, you should change it for a while to check whether the current network is the culprit or not. If you do not have a valid data plan, it is better to wait until you get something similar. On the other hand, don’t forget to turn on the Airplane mode and make it off to troubleshoot common internet connection issues.

Solution #8: Disable Internet Blockers

If you are using an app that blocks internet connection of a specific app, you should disable it immediately. There are some Android apps that lets your prevent a certain app from using the internet connection. If you are using such an app, it is the time to turn it off temporarily.

That’s all! These are some of the most useful and working solutions to fix the network error problem in Messenger for Android or iOS.

Nav Night Message: The History and Vision of The Navigators

I love to teach. It really has become one of my favorite things to do. Usually at around this time of year I’ll be leading a Bible study for college students with the FSU Navigators, but not this semester due to the influx of new staff. So when I taught at the Navs’ weekly meeting on September 21 it was even more fun for me than usual. My topic was the history and vision of The Navigators ministry, something you’d think I’d know a lot about since I’ve been a Navigator in one capacity or another for over eight years. However, I needed to refresh my memory in order to teach about it. It turned out to be one of the most challenging topics I’ve ever taught in terms of preparation, but still a very enjoyable process.

You can listen to this message online by streaming it below, plus even more by me, other staff, and our student leaders on the FSU Navigators Podcast.

A Preparation Challenge

So why would this talk be so difficult to prepare? After all, it’s mostly just a bunch of stories, right? Surely it must be more difficult to piece together a message filled with Scripture. I thought the same thing as I began. But I completely underestimated the value of my concordance. You see, if I can’t quite put my finger on a passage in the Bible I’ll open up my concordance and through it will usually find the verse I was trying to find. But there is no concordance for Nav history. When I couldn’t remember a detail I wanted to mention in my talk I had to manually find it using less precise tools. Google was sometimes helpful, but much of what I was looking for was not available online, not even on The Navigators website. As a result, I ended up reading all of Living Legacy by Jim Downing and rereading most of Daws by Betty Lee Skinner.

What Will Inspire These Students?

I opened my talk by stating that my desire was for my words not to be construed as some type of “hero worship,” that the founders of The Navigators were just people like us who were taking steps of faith. My challenge and my hope was to find stories that would not only inform but inspire the students I was teaching. I wanted them to get a vision for how God could use anyone devoted to Him to do big things. Since I only had a short time to speak (I think I was given 30 minutes and took roughly 45, which is par for the course when I teach), I took care in choosing anecdotes and videos that I thought might accomplish this effort.

Below I’ve embedded the three short videos I showed.

Sources and Influences

Aside from the two books I’ve mentioned and the videos above, I also relied heavily on this page on the history of the Wheel Illustration on The Navigators website.

If anyone is wondering whether I cleverly invented the line “one death to live, no death to die” or if I stole it from someone else, I must confess that it is not my original creation. It’s a lyric from the song “Fully Yours” by the long-defunct band Dog Named David. Their album “Acoustic Canine” has been a favorite of mine since my friend Elijah gave it to me during my freshmen year of college.

This giveaway has ended. Thank you for your interest.

Daws: A Man Who Trusted God

When my old roommate Joe was moving out last February he gave me his copy of Daws (okay, I rescued it from the Goodwill pile). I already had my own copy, but I figured I’d be able to give it to someone else. I’ve decided to give it away right here on my blog. This giveaway is open to students who have been involved with The Navigators at FSU (note: even if you’ve only been checking the ministry out this semester that counts).

To enter, just leave a comment on this blog post (the original, not the Facebook Note) and mention at least one thing about The Navigators you’d like to know more about. That could be about its history or what it’s doing right now.

If you “Like” this post or tweet a link to it that will count as an extra entry (two extra if you do both). Buttons to “Like” and tweet are at the top and bottom of the post.

Get your comment in before noon on Sunday, October 3. I’ll get the book to the winner at Nav Night. Good luck!

School and Education in Uzbekistan

The educational system was previously based on the Soviet model, but since 1990 more emphasis has been placed on Uzbek language, history and literature. School is compulsory for nine years from the age of six. The primary school is a 4-year old, followed by a 5-year secondary school and a 2- to 3-year high school. The country has 60 higher education institutions and several universities, in Tashkent (founded 1920), Samarkand (1933) and Nukus (1979).

  • Topschoolsintheusa: Offers a full list of testing locations for SAT exam in Uzbekistan. Also covers test dates of 2020 and 2021 for Scholastic Assessment Test within this country.

In January 1992, students in Tashkent demonstrated against the lack of bread and the rise in basic necessities. The demonstration was fired by the security forces, 6 were killed and dozens injured. In an effort to reduce tensions, the authorities announced an increase in educational aid.

  • A2zdirectory: Describes prehistory and early history of Uzbekistan. Includes history from colony to an independent nation.

At the same time, the struggle for leadership at the higher levels of the Islamic clergy intensified, which helped to strengthen the worldly president. Karimov stood for a tough authoritarian leadership aimed at maintaining political stability. As prices in the country were released, it triggered student protests, which the government severely cracked down on.

In March, a series of detentions were carried out in the city of Namangan, the stronghold of the Islamic opposition. The Islamic Center was attacked and several Islamic leaders and leaders of the Birlik Democratic Movement were arrested.

In March 1992, the presidents of the various parliaments of the state community agreed to form an interparliamentary assembly with consultative and coordinating functions. That same month, Uzbekistan was admitted to the UN.

In June, President Karimov set the country’s new course, based on the Southeast Asian model: eliminating opposition and modernizing the economy to adapt to the market.

The liberalization of prices, privatizations and economic reforms were implemented the same year, but were less extensive than in the other former Soviet republics.

Through 1993, Uzbekistan strengthened its political contacts with the other former Soviet republics in Central Asia, established diplomatic relations with Hungary and signed bilateral agreements with Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Karimov was criticized for the slowness of the country’s economic reforms. In January 1994, therefore, he presented a plan for privatization and announced price increases for the basic necessities and energy of around 300%.

Several countries in Central Asia attempted to devise a program to improve the environment around Lake Aral. But according to. Western experts were one of the prerequisites for curbing the desiccation of the lake that Uzbekistan restricts its consumption of lake water to irrigation of the cotton fields.

At diplomatic level, the country – especially from 1995 – embarked on a strategy aimed at curbing Russian and Iranian influence in the region. Karimov actively supported the US embargo on Iran and called for the creation of a “common Turkestan” among the countries of the region, which he believed was threatened by Russia’s “imperialist” tendencies.

In 1996, Parliament admitted for the first time human rights violations committed in the past and passed new legislation in this area. In April and June, the President visited France and the United States, respectively, emphasizing Uzbekistan’s approach to the West.

The censorship of the news media continued to apply in 1997, and the good economic results that made the country one of the most flourishing in Central Asia coincided with high inflation and strong restrictions on imports, which greatly affected the living conditions of the population.

In June, Uzbekistan refused to sign the agreement that formally ended the civil war in Tajikistan, pointing out that it would merely increase political instability as several of the conflicting groups were excluded.

Lossless vs. Lossy Compression: What’s the Difference?

All of electronic media is, in some sense, data that is reduced from an original copy. It begins with the capturing of the event. That captured moment or series of moments (e.g. sound, still image or motion picture) now exists in a portable format that is inherently limited in scope, function and capacity. The sample has now been encoded into data, which will be stored or transmitted over some sort of electronic medium. Although not exclusively, it is usually the case that the initial encode will need to be converted (or transcoded) to one or more additional formats, within certain parameters tailored to given storage and/or distribution requirements. This is where file-compression comes in.

File-compression’s main objective is to optimize storage and bandwidth as much as possible by breaking down files and/or eliminating their unnecessary characteristics. Two primary classifications of file-compression are lossless and lossy, which differ in a number of ways (including size, structure and performance). Lossless compression creates an exact copy of the original file when decoded, while lossy compression makes certain sacrifices to render a deliverable but slightly compromised output. Each classification encases a number of different encoding schemes that process data in several different ways, balancing fidelity and efficiency for functional and presentable data on the egress end.

A common implementation of lossless file-compression includes the use of Huffman coding, whose redundancy-limiting algorithm recognizes patterns in groups in order to conserve time, space and other resources. The model is able to compress and decompress digital media such that the output perfectly matches the input. The Zip file archival tool is a well-known format that supports lossless compression. Zip files compress digital media into much smaller data (often given the ‘.zip’ file extension) that can be uncompressed into their original form, with no loss or difference between the ingress and egress content (hence, the compression is lossless).

The History of Data Compression (Infographic)

Lossy compression employs encoding schemes that sacrifice data and/or limit parameters in order to conserve space and optimize file-transmission. Transform coding basically approximates which data can and cannot be sacrificed based on the prospective delivery requirements, and is very common in lossy compression. One of the most well-known lossy formats is MP3 audio, which is part of MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) standardization and has had a very profound effect on modern audio. It is a very common delivery format for consumer audio, and many other formats are quite often converted to MP3.

10 DIY Projects That Will Make Your Home Fancy

DIY Projects That Will Make Your Home Fancy

The decor and style of your home play a key role in determining your house’s overall mood. It can also affect the perspective of people that live in it.

That’s why you must pay close attention to your space’s aesthetics and decor from time to time.

To spruce up your home, you can either hire an interior designer or open up doors for your creative mind.

It is okay if you opt to work with a designer if you want to makeover your place. However, if you are going for a small makeover or implementing new creative ideas, you can opt for DIY home decorations.

Designing Your Space Like a Pro

If you are not a professional designer, do not fret! All you need is some pretty handy home decor ideas that will give you a new perspective on designing your space.

Most of the time, you might not pay attention to the littlest details of your space. But if you spend more time focusing on your home’s aesthetics, you can find several spots wherein something innovative needs to be done.

This article will walk you through ten simple yet stylish home decor ideas that will bring out your creativity. Check out some pretty cool ideas that you can apply:

  1. Add Mirrors

Adding mirrors are a simple yet stylish way to spruce up your home. Not only will it make it appear brighter, but they also allow light to bounce everywhere in the room.

Mirrors create an effect that makes everything around it appear more beautiful. Make sure to add a stylish mirror in every single room of your home, or consider placing it on a wall that’s perpendicular to the windows.

Not only will this reflect light better, but it also enhances your space’s overall aesthetics.

  1. Wall Geometric Patterns

To implement this DIY decor idea, you’ll need to have a painter’s tape, as well as your favorite colors of paint. Now, using the painter’s tape, create random geometric shapes and patterns.

Depending on your preference, fill in the blocks with colors. Ideally, it would help if you used at least a maximum of three colors to come up with the right contrast. Then, take off the tapes, then your modish wall is all set-up.

  1. DIY Textured Wall

A textured wall will bring in some character to your space. Using stained pallet pieces, come up with a chic, modern wall that you can use for your TV background.

This will give a nice makeover on the background part of your TV wall.

You’ll also get to appreciate this every time you sit back and watch your favorite television show.

  1. Add Some Organic Life with Decorative Vases

Plants have a positive effect on people. They help alleviate one’s mood, taking the stress off our minds just with their calming presence.

So, why not grab those empty wine bottles and mason jars, then paint them white? Using a washi tape, come up with various style patterns, and add fresh flowers or plants in them to make your day more refreshed. Check out these DIY distressed floral base and tulip umbrella wreath that’s perfect for spring.

You might also consider getting indoor plants in your space to liven it up, as you enjoy tropical mornings every day.

  1. DIY Coffee Mug Rack

Creating your own DIY coffee mug rack is quite simple, and this can also be an excellent, cozy addition to your home.

Join together logs and pieces, placing some sturdy hooks so that your cups could hang in safely. To make it even classier, you can paint the rack similar to your room decor.

  1. Create Your Own Bookshelves

Creating your own storage space doesn’t have to be costly or time-consuming. However, it’s still vital that you secure your shelves before using them.

Ensure that all your shelves and cabinets are leveled and then mounted to studs on the wall. This will make sure that everything will be secure even if your books and other things are heavy.

  1. Repaint Your Dresser

If you have a light shade in your bedroom and have artistic skills, you can do a complete makeover of your dresser

Going for a white dresser with a golden design at the center and some golden knobs will bring life to your space.

You can do this easy DIY home decor using white and golden acrylic paint. You can either come up with a diamond, heart or any custom shape that you want.

  1. Slide-in Laundry Baskets

Do you have laundry baskets that are strewn across your space or stacked in piles in your laundry room?

Although this might sound like a decorative nightmare, you can certainly do something about it.

Creating an easy-to-build dresser allows you to slide baskets in and out whenever you want to use them. This also allows you to store them in between washings.

  1. Add Some Canvas Abstract Art

Adding some abstract paintings is one of the best ways you can show off your creativity and skills.

So, why get a blank canvas and come up with an art or design that you love?

Don’t forget to splash it with colors of your choice and give some accent tone to your art. You can hang these in your bed or living room afterward.

  1. DIY Polaroid Wall

Designing a polaroid gallery in your home is a conventional yet excellent DIY home decor idea. So, choose the best photos of you and your loved ones, mainly the best snapshots and highlights of your recent vacations and holidays.

Come up with square prints of these photos, then add them to your wall to come up with a gallery of images.

In Conclusion

Home decorations can go from designing an entire space to adding a couple of accents to freshen up its look.

Whatever DIY home ideas you pick, a personalized idea can go a long way. You can choose from any of these ideas we have mentioned in this article and implement them in your way.

That way, you can come up with satisfying results.

Agenda Item 6:/Consideration of UPR reports/Canada
Speaker: Shawna Finnegan

Thank you Mr. President,
The Association for Progressive Communications welcomes Canada’s acceptance of recommendations to expand measures to address violence against Indigenous women and girls, and ensure access to justice, improving the response of law enforcement and justice systems. [1]

Despite systemic violence against Indigenous women in the country, individual cases are often given low priority by local authorities and media. A 2006 report [2] indicated significant disparities in how local police and media respond to reports of missing Indigenous women when compared to non-Indigenous women. In response, Indigenous groups and allies have turned to the internet and social media to raise awareness of cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and communicate directly with police and media to address disparity in resources deployed, in order to protect and bring justice to victims.

The outcome document of the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women recommended States and other actors to “[s]upport the development and use of information and communication technology and social media as a resource for the empowerment of women and girls, including access to information on the prevention of and response to violence against women and girls”.3

As part of its strategy to address violence against indigenous women, we call on Canada to work with communities, particularly in rural areas and on reservations, to improve meaningful access to the Internet.

In May 2013, Canada’s Privacy Commissioner confirmed that the government had unlawfully spied on the executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada, Cindy Blackstock, after her organisation filed a human rights complaint over funding of child services on reserves. [4] As the Internet becomes increasingly important for democratic participation and protection of human rights, Canada must ensure protection of the right to privacy for Indigenous groups, and all Canadians.

We call on Canada to evaluate its policies and practices on communications surveillance to ensure that they are in accordance with international human rights standards.

Thank you.

The Glass Ceiling in International Commercial Arbitration: Analysis of Diversity and Accessibility

Adv. Raghvendra Pratap Singh and Ms. Sonya Mohan[i]

“Diversity may be the hardest thing for the society to live with, and perhaps the most dangerous thing for a society to be without.”

-William Sloane Coffin Jr.

International Commercial Arbitrations have always been an intellectual treat to observe. The proceedings connecting the two disputing nations into the realization of creative solutions without court interference have forged a sense of world unity. Though Arbitration is consistently proving to be successful to its purpose, the authors wonder whether it has been actually true to its vision. As we know in its basic meaning, “International Commercial Arbitration is an innovation that is said to be an alternative method of resolving disputes between two private parties arising out of such commercial transactions arising transnational.” The most important feature of Arbitration, either domestic or international, is the selection of Arbitrators or the formation of a strong Arbitral Tribunal. But what exactly is the actual thought process and criteria considered behind the appointment of Arbitrators? And more importantly, is the process inclusive of everyone regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity or not? The authors through this Article pose a question of whether the International Arbitration process embraces diversity. The Authors shall discuss the said issue with the support of certain reliable empirical data and check as to how International Arbitration is bringing the participating nations closer and facilitating access to its regime. Also, the Article shall delve around issues of cultural inclusivity, promotion of gender uniformity, and lack of concern as an obstacle over access to International Arbitration.

Diversity in International Arbitration: The Present State

On 10th January 2017, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, an international law firm, leased an annual arbitration survey titled “Diversity in International Arbitration: Are we getting there?” The results of the said survey can be regarded as noteworthy and thought provoking. It was revealed that a total of 84% of Respondents thought there was prevalence of Male Arbitrators, 80% thought there was prevalence of White Arbitrators and 28% thought they lost on opportunities due to an young age. The report of the survey makes it clear that the placement of low priorities over gender and ethnicity indicate lack of sensitivity over diversity in the International disputes sector. It is true and a well-accepted fact that a highly experienced Arbitrator, such as a retired judge is desired by any party to the dispute. What is alarming is the least consideration given to let the process be arbitrated by persons reflecting younger age, gender, or ethnicity. It has to be brought to notice that there exists a psychological notion that might be called ‘legal notion’ which can actually administer thinking in the selection of Arbitral Tribunal. What predominantly matters here is the type and level of legal education imparted that influences Arbitral decision making. Consider a hypothetical situation in a country ‘A’ where legal education has been imparted in the most equitable manner, catering both sexes and the different races the desired equal opportunities. Thus, it shall be very likely that such a country like ‘A’ shall administer better accommodating strategies in the selection of Arbitral Tribunal thereby facilitating and accepting diversity in the Arbitration process. But is the notion true in practicalities, and more importantly, desirable?

Why Diversity is Desirable?

Considering the fact that International Commercial Arbitration brings two disputing parties closer to their problem-solving approach and the appointment of Arbitrators or the formation of the adjudicating body or the Arbitral Tribunal is done by the choice of the disputing parties, the authors contend whether does that really mean ignorance to certain crucial aspects as regards the appointment of women Arbitrators or racially different Arbitrator is okay?

To frame it in other words,

"If the end of the goal is achieved by duly appointing ‘elderly white male Arbitrators’ who are known to be well educated and seasoned with years of knowledge and vivid experiences, who actually would consider appointing novice Arbitrators or women candidates? Thus, having a short term and a self- interested view in the entire Arbitral Tribunal formation process is dangerous in nature.”

Diversity is desirable in International Commercial Arbitration especially for its own sustainability in the ‘justice-delivery’ system. The vision of greater transparency through the inclusion of people of diverse sexes, races, and regions shall ensure its legitimacy and call for more creative solutions to complex commercial issues. Concerns have been boldly presented stating that the quality of Arbitral Awards shall suffer if diversity is not given its due importance. Empirical studies are cited as finding that "the deliberative process before the arbitral tribunal is likely to be crucial and, therefore, the diversity of views may be fundamental for a fair process and outcome".

Women, Race & Diversity in International Arbitration

The 2017 Arbitration Survey has already answered about the decreasing percentage of women in Arbitration. This is a very alarming concern since the problem lies in the root regarding Equal Opportunities. There are various factors behind the lack of women representation in the field of Dispute Resolution. The key factor regarding the lack of successful female arbitrators is often called the “pipeline leak”. The “pipeline” can be thought as what are the different considerations required to make an impressive Curriculum Vitae as an Arbitrator in International Arbitration. In the survey it was observed that the considerations included education from good law schools, elite associations and considerable practical experiences. Considering the above stated context, the proportion of women undergoing quality legal education and practical skills observation is a burning question. This can be validated via, statistics report of 2015-16 as presented in the academic Article by Swiss Investment Arbitration Lawyer, Miss Caroline Dos Santos wherein it was demonstrated that 67.3% out of the 17,335 students in law at an undergraduate level were women. In 2015, 61% of the solicitors admitted to the roll were women. It was reported that only 18.8% of women lawyers could become Partners in the Law Firms. In the same vein, it can be observed that there exists a glass ceiling for women in the field of Disputes. Firstly, gaining of legal education is still not well prevalent, even if the same is acquired deserving a top-notch position in the Law Firms or even enrolling as Solicitors are not guaranteed.

Apart from gender concerns, race- regional disparity in the field of International Arbitration is quite alarming. A direct question can be posed to oneself. “Are we including Arbitrators from India, Africa, Vietnam, or Pacific countries?” Interestingly, recently the Vice President of the International Court of Justice, Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, from Somalia, gave a speech that there is a huge pressure for African countries to participate in international arbitration and Mr. Yusuf said that if the arbitration community does not welcome Africans, Africans will reject it. The availability of legal infrastructure and synchronized legal regime forms an essential precursor for the use of International Arbitration as a tool for solving disputes in the said countries. The “Model Law on International Commercial”, innovated by the UN Commission on International Trade Law can be regarded as an useful measure to amend the setbacks in this regard. The said Model Law assists in the preparation of draft laws for countries to bring in new or revised laws on international commercial arbitration in harmony with the New York Convention and other international standards. The same if adopted can do not let compromise the unique trade circumstances of the countries while matching to its best international practice. It is undeniable that the Pacific countries are working really hard to set their Arbitral mechanism working at a faster pace. The Arbitration law is observing a good increase especially Asia Pacific graduates in Arbitration related Masters in Law (LLM) are seen preferring Masters in the said subject area and securing jobs in foreign Law Firms (presently third only to Western Europe and Latin America). Also, many bring with them the knowledge back to their home countries thereby encouraging healthy developments in the cross border-Arbitral network.

Recent Development in the Indian Regime

The landmark decision of the Supreme Court of India in the case of ‘Bar Council of India v/s A.K Balaji & Ors’ wherein it was held that “foreign Lawyers and Law firms can conduct International Commercial Arbitrations in India where rules of Institutional Arbitration apply” is a welcome decision for enhancing access in International Arbitration in India. The bench had also stated that they could render legal advices to the Indian clientele strictly on a temporary basis and given that the foreign lawyers shall be under the surveillance of the applicable code of conduct as appreciated by the Laws of India governing the Indian Legal Practitioners. What is important to understand that the SC allowed foreign lawyers only ‘casual visits’ to India. It is to be noted that the said term is not explained in detail and the interpretation of the same has been left on the facts and circumstances of the issues arising in the future. The said judgment though is a remarkable in nature and promises access of opportunities in International Arbitration in India, but the same can be observed to be quite vague in its approach towards facilitation of a free environment for foreign lawyers. Thus, it is up to the nations to decide what equity measures can be undertaken to let the access to International Arbitrations not become a distant dream.

International Commercial Arbitration is posing as the future for the majority of nations actively involved in trade and other allied activities. Considering the very spirit of the due process involved in the selection of Arbitrators, an equal opportunity is not only a desire but a demand. To counter gender diversity, continuous efforts with regards to generous investments in Women Arbitrator skills education as well as mentorship programs for them have to be brought into existence. Now, it is the time that we tighten our belts and call for transparency in the system. In order to enhance gender, racial, and regional diversity, the ICC has taken the initiative of publishing on its website, the names and nationality of Arbitrators presiding by the pending and completed Arbitration matters. The Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act of 2019 promises colossal changes with respect to the Arbitration mechanism of India. The Amendment Act paints the picture of an ‘Arbitration Council’. The said amendments are more focused towards making Arbitration process speedier. What is interesting to find that there have been no specific reservations wrt women and also, novice Arbitrators may still feel shy in venturing into the said field. But with the increasing demand of ADR in India and vigilant amendments done frequently by the legislators, the said concerns shall be hopefully accommodated too. Thus, the goal of achieving Diversity and Access to International Arbitration might seem a little distant but is not impossible.

Bankruptcy Alternatives in Phoenix

For an individual, there are really three practical alternatives to filing a bankruptcy, whether a Chapter 7, 11 or 13.

But let me quickly point out that there are several bankruptcy alternatives that I personally don’t like much. Any alternative that pulls money out of an otherwise exempt asset (like a homestead, or a 401(k)), is one I don’t favor. If a subsequent bankruptcy is needed, the base for the fresh start has already gone away, and that makes me sad when I see it.

Putting it another way, I don’t like to see someone borrow against their homestead to pay credit card debts, particularly if they are no longer young. That’s just a preference of mine, not a legal conclusion.

Do Nothing at All Approaches

One practical alternative, which can sometimes be a good idea, is to do nothing at all.

Let me try that again. There are two ways to do nothing at all about creditors, and one is as a decision reached after thought and consideration. The other way to do nothing is “deer in the headlights syndrome”. The second way is bad.

The first way, the “thoughtful” doing nothing about debt, is an acceptable option if there is nothing of consequence that creditors can do to you. For instance, if Jimmy is living at home with his parents, and Jimmy is 36, and has accumulated a lot of debt, and Jimmy owns nothing, it’s possible that the do-nothing approach is okay.

After all, Jimmy has no income to garnish. He has no jet-ski to grab, no dirt to foreclose. Jimmy has some clothes, but they have the advantage of being exempt (and all used clothes tend to be exempt, because used clothes tend to have a value less than $500, which is the current exemption for clothing in Arizona).

If Jimmy’s furniture (which would normally be exempt in any case) is all owned by his parents, and Jimmy is merely a pet, from an economic perspective, he’s a hard guy to collect from.

For a more typical couple, who have a house, and a car, with a mortgage and a lien, and a lot of credit card debt, and a couple of incomes, doing nothing when they can’t pay their debts is not a very good alternative. Creditors can make their lives difficult by calling, writing, suing, garnishing after they have a judgment in Arizona, initiating a trustee’s sale, and taking back the car. Doing nothing can turn them into shopping cart people, which is a bad alternative.

For them, the only (barely) practical bankruptcy alternatives are called extensions and compositions.

Those are just lawyer words for paying what you owe over a longer period of time than previously agreed, or paying less than previously agreed. In a consensual arrangement.

And even that sounds more complex than it is.

The couple with assets but inadequate income to service debt on a timely basis can attempt (with or without help) to set up a payment stream to creditors that it CAN pay.

If creditors will agree to the deal. And that’s always the problem.

A composition is a similar approach, although instead of trying to get a creditor to accept a smaller payment stream over time, the debtor tries to get the creditor to accept what is usually a one-time payment in full satisfaction of the debt.

And the difficulty with both compositions and extensions is similar; creditors have to agree to play along.

The 80/20 Rule

In my experience, the 80/20 rule applies to creditor negotiations; so if there are a lot of creditors who have to agree to a repayment plan, over time or a lump sum payment, the odds of the extension or composition working well are not great, because most or all of creditors have to agree to a workout agreement of whatever kind for the workout to well, work out.

But neither an extension or a composition work if the debtor spends more money than the debtor can afford to spend, so part of the analysis needs to be whether the debtor can learn to live on a budget. Not much fun.

Bankruptcy Alternatives for Businesses in Phoenix

Bankruptcy alternatives for businesses are exactly the same; there are extensions and there are compositions, and those tend to have a better chance than ordinary consumers, because a business has the ability to hire number crunchers to put together plans that will make sense to creditors.

Creditors, after all, just want money (there are exceptions, but normally they want money, not revenge). Because they just want money, if you can convince a creditor that he’ll get more out of your proposed plan than by pursuing collections procedures, the creditor will become your biggest fan.

Starting a Composition or Extension Process

Surprisingly, one of the easiest ways to start a composition or extension process is to fill out bankruptcy forms; creditors know how to read them (and if they don’t now, they will as we move farther into this depression), and creditors need to know what the alternative is to make a rational economic decision whether to accept a proposed debtor plan, whether in or out of Bankruptcy Court.

And never even consider a composition or extension or accord and satisfaction (another alternative provided in the Arizona Statutes in connection with a disputed debt) without consulting your tax adviser on debt forgiveness consequences.
