Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been a thorn in the side of corrupt politicians for over a decade.
To date, his organization has yet to be proven wrong on anything it’s released, and last year it made headlines after dumping thousands of emails from the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta, which the Democrats have been blaming on The Russians! ™. However, according to a new report, Assange is ready to release information that will blow that claim straight out of the water.
According to The Hill, Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (CA) flew to the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where Assange is holed up after being granted asylum, to discuss a possible deal with the U.S. government. While he was there, Assange told her that he’s ready to release even more information he has, which could turn out to be quite an issue for the Democrats.
Given Assange’s track record, the Democrats should be terrified…really terrified. As it is, their corruption being exposed is what cost them the election, and with the mid-terms coming up, another document dump could prove to be a fatal blow for the floundering party.
“If I had to bet on it, I would bet that we are going to get the information that will be mind-boggling and of major historical significance,” Rohrabacher said. He said if it is significant enough, he will bring it directly to Trump.
“And there has already been some indication that the president will be very anxious to hear what I have to say if that is the determination that I make,” Rohrabacher added.

A collation function that sorts values as strings.
maxlen Optional  A positive integer, which specifies that the collated value will be truncated to the value of maxlen. Note that maxlen includes the appended leading blank space. You can enclose maxlen with double parentheses to suppress literal substitution: ((maxlen)).
%SQLSTRING converts expression to format that is sorted as a (case-sensitive) string. %SQLSTRING strips trailing whitespace (spaces, tabs, and so on) from the string, then adds one leading blank space to the beginning of the string. This appended blank space forces NULL and numeric values to be collated as strings. Leading and trailing zeros are removed from numbers.
Because %SQLSTRING appends a blank space to all values, it collates a NULL value as a blank space, with a string length of 1. %SQLSTRING collates any value containing only whitespace (spaces, tabs, and so on) as the SQL empty string (''). When %SQLSTRING appends a blank space to an empty (zero-length) string, it collates as a blank space plus the internal representation of an empty string, $CHAR(0), resulting in a string length of 2.
The optional maxlen argument truncates the expression string to the specified number of characters when indexing or collating. For example, if you insert a string with maxlen truncation, the full string is inserted and can be retrieved by a SELECT statement; the index global for this string is truncated to the specified length. This means that ORDER BY and comparison operations only evaluate the truncated index string. Such truncation is especially useful for indexing on strings that exceed the 255-character limit for InterSystems IRIS subscripts. When converting from non-InterSystems IRIS systems, some users encountered problems when they indexed on a VARCHAR(255) field and then tried to insert data into the table. With the maxlen argument, if you need to index on a long field, you can use the truncation length parameter.
%SQLSTRING performs maxlen truncation after converting expression; if maxlen exceeds the length of the converted expression no padding is added. The maximum string length is 3,641,144 characters; no maximum is enforced for maxlen.
WRITE $SYSTEM.Util.Collation("The quick, BROWN fox.",8,6),!
For a not case-sensitive string conversion, refer to %SQLUPPER.
By default, %STARTSWITH string comparisons are not case-sensitive. This example uses the %SQLSTRING format to make this comparison case-sensitive. It returns all names that begin with “Al” (such as Allen, Alton, etc.). Note when using %STARTSWITH, you should apply %SQLSTRING collation to both sides of the statement.
This example returns the truncated values without changing the case of letters.

The main reason behind the decision to sell a house has always been based on the changes in lifestyle. Whether you have a family that is growing, or you are relocating to another place, or even your family is downsizing, knowing the right time to sell your house can be really daunting, particularly the first time sellers.
At times, your decision to offer your house for sale might not coincide with the perfect conditions at the market. It is therefore very important to know what’s going on in the property market and even the entire economy since the real estate industry has always been used to reflect the current state of the entire economy.
There are a number of options on when it is the best time to sell your house on the property market. Even though there is no magic formula in this practice, there are actually definite troughs and peaks to look out for if your main objective is to achieve the best price and lower the amount of time you spend on the market.
Spring has always come out as the best time to sell a house, following the normal slow beginning of the year. It does not matter whether you are purchasing or selling a house; the spring season has a warming weather that has always seen a new breed of enthusiast house buyers searching actively on the open market for a house to purchase. The success of a house sale, as it has been known for years, is mainly dependent on finding the right buyer.
Why is Spring Considered the Best Time to Sell a House?
In most places, the spring season has been characterized with lighter and longer days, warm weather as well as beautiful and blossoming gardens all over. When these are added to the increase in active buyers, you will surely have the right conditions for achieving a perfect house sale.
The summer months that run from June to August have always been associated with a lot of activities on the open market for housing property. It is, however, not the best time to offer your family house for sale. This is due to the fact that this season includes a period where people take overseas holidays like in the month of August, and most kids resume their studies in the month of September.
Nobody would want to have their children relocated to another place just as the school year begins. On the other hand, houses and flats that are fairly small sell well during the summer months. There is a simple reason behind this; most people shall have gone past the New Year slump, winter is long gone, and a new weather is just approaching. This is the best time to get into the car and go for that house search since the weather allows it.
The property market during summer has always been flooded by a huge number of buyers.
This makes it hard to find a house at a decent price.
For those who have houses to sell, the strong demand that is usually witnessed during this time can help them in getting the best price for their houses.
Most buyers would flood the market as the summer season begins, and would disappear just as the season comes to an end. After this period, most property markets tend to go straight towards a big trough. It is one that buyers rarely expect throughout the year. Over the years, Autumn has always been a good time to sell a house, but it cannot be compared to seasons like the Spring and the Summer. If your planning to have your house sold in Autumn, it is important to have it listed on the online housing markets before the end of September. This would give you an opportunity to complete the sale of your house before Christmas ends. After the second week of November, home buyers take up the characters of a bear; they go into hibernation.
So at this time, finding the best buyer for your house would be like looking for a river in a desert. Again, it’s important to remember that nobody would love to relocate during the Christmas season.
This begins from December to February. Festivities that begin around the month of December are all loved by everybody and they will normally take precedence over anything else towards the end of the year. This means that Autumn is the last chance to have your home sold.
To sum it up, spring has always been the best time to sell a house.

Back from France! What an amazing experience! Now it's time to enjoy summer vacation.
It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I can honestly say I have been changed drastically as a result of immersing myself in a different culture.
oh goodness, i love france, it's absolutely beautiful there! where exactly did you go?

Facebook and other advertising platforms have run afoul of their consumers not so much in how they collect data or even how much they collect, but rather in hoarding it for their own purposes and financial gain without sharing the benefits with the data creators themselves. The quid pro quo covenant seems to be broken. Consumers give data. Businesses get richer. That’s not how it should work in many consumers’ eyes.
The best marketers, however, are successfully straddling that line with amazing critical and financial success. These marketing platforms aren’t sentient exactly, but “wicked smaht” as they say in Boston. Very smart and technically sophisticated, but also adept in their understanding of human behavior. Many, many people will give information in order to receive the benefit of that information — Siri, what’s on my calendar today?However, if they’re not benefitting, they’ll turn on the businesses that are profiting off of their data in myriad ways — all of which erode loyalty, profitability, and even credibility.
Between being ‘spied on’ and being treated exactly the same as everyone else is a commonsensical middle ground that respects the individual’s privacy while collecting relevant data. It sees meaningful behavior without stalking. People don’t want to be treated as a faceless ‘impression’ in marketing any more than they do elsewhere. Nor do they want to hear from Alexa, “It seems you’ve gained a few pounds. Should we cancel the recurring Doritos order?” It’s vaguely insulting to have complete understanding that you’re generating data breadcrumbs, virtually every second of the day between your phone, connected devices, cookies…and precious little of that data makes its way back to you in the form of better quality personalized experiences.
People aren’t feeling abused, oppressed or put upon in anything near the order of magnitude they are in the ‘real world.’ Not even close. They are, however, feeling like they have options. Like they’re mad as hell and not going to put up with it anymore. If you can’t treat them with respect, somebody else will.
What began as a wave of privacy concerns in the EU could be a tsunami of issues here if not handled deftly. Doing so has a technical component. Software can act as the connective tissue between data pools, bringing each individual customer’s data into a single intelligent source for that same customer’s next interaction — a more informed, intelligent, and contextually relevant one. Brands that do this will find more inspired, informed, and loyal customers in return.
Brands that fail to invest in modern marketing architecture and maintain a ‘doggie door’ for data, where it comes in but never gets put back out in intelligent form, will suffer the inverse — high churn, low satisfaction, and higher customer acquisition costs to futilely attempt to patch their leaky buckets.
1. Do you have the people to ‘play fast?’ Data is always being gathered. Can your talent transform it into the heart of engagement in a timeframe where the customer feels the benefit?
2. Are you Outside In or Inside Out? It’s funny how many people say, “The customer is the boss. The customer pays all our bills….” yet the culture they’ve created is insular, territorial, and more concerned about their personal performance than the customer’s experience. If the customer is not at the center of your entire organization, you need to rethink structure.
3. Are your muscles too big? Muscle memory is a powerful thing. When people have had success doing things one way, they’re often times very challenged to do it differently. This is particularly true of high performers in my experience. If someone has used a meticulously crafted annual planning calendar to magnificent effect in the past, they may be unable to change to a more agile, just-in-time way of working — even if they’re willing. Clayton Christensen has written very powerfully on this dynamic.
I don’t envision people taking to the streets to push back against superficially judgmental marketing. I do think people are feeling neglected, maybe even taken advantage of when it comes to marketing, however. With the proper tools and the right attitudes and aptitudes to use them, any business can prove it values its customers. It’s not an act of heroism. It’s just the right thing to do.

Incredible. I’ve been studying this for about 10 minutes so far.
I accidentally posted this to my other blog first… but here it is.
There is a particularly fine line between assertion of personal belief and disrespect to others. While it is important to engage in dialogue with those of different world views, one must do so carefully, and in a way that fosters mutual understanding and respect despite the difference, even because of the difference, and not in a way that comes off as arrogant.
Nobody appreciates arrogance, no matter what the individual believes, and the article is worth a read.
Dr. Bussie was my inquiry professor (for the class C.S. Lewis: Faith, Life, and Fiction), the professor of the Faith in Dialogue course I took last spring, the advisor for Better Together, and my orientation club’s faculty advisor. She is one of my favorite professors I’ve ever had, a beautiful human being, and the reason I’m passionate about interfaith work. Dr. Bussie provides so many incredible resources and speakers, She genuinely cares about the lives and goals of each of her students, and I am so honored to know her.
I haven’t had the time to get through all of these yet, but this article was recommended to me by the head of the English department and what I’ve seen so far has been some pretty quality commentary on everything from fairy tales to figure. I’ll probably expand on at least one of the essays in a later post.
This past Sunday, a group of us from Better Together (Concordia’s chapter of the Inter Faith Youth Core) joined about 40 community members for an interfaith Thanksgiving potluck at Elm Lutheran Church in Fargo. The event was hosted by the Fargo-Moorhead Center for Interfaith Projects, and before we ate, people from the Buddhist, Muslim, Baha’i, Christian, and Jewish faiths spoke about thankfulness in their traditions.Overall, there was just a really wonderful sense of community. I tried so many new cultural foods that I don’t have any names for, but they were delicious! Today, I am thankful to be a part of the interfaith movement and such a wonderful community that’s starting to feel more and more like home all the time.

Bluescope was approached by Mid-West Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association in early 2014 with the goal of creating a functional website in which the Mid-West Spina Bifida team could promote the daily ongoings of the association. They had previously operated a website with little functionality to insert news and events. Unable to increase their online presence and visibility, Bluescope worked closely with the team to present a website structure to suit their needs by basing the updated website around the previous design.
The Mid-West Spina Bifida Association is a voluntary organisation run by parents and friends of people in County Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary who live with one or both of these conditions. They provide services to 103 families. Members range in age from newborn to just over 46! Their services include; physiotherapy (including assessment and intervention), orthotics, counseling for members and family, computer classes, cookery, leadership and self awareness development, and much more.
By working hand-in-hand with the Mid-West Spina Bifida team, we were able to gain a deeper insight into their organisation and provide them with a user-friendly CMS, Joomla. This CMS offers the ability to add latest news and events posts in which promotes the daily ongoings of the great work which is being done by the Mid-West Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association.
Bluescope provided training to the Mid-West Spina Bifida team to illustrate how to use the backend of the website and how to update the latest news and events. Mid-West Spina Bifida have remained as a Managed Services client of Bluescope Technologies. We provide the organisation with all maintenance of their website, including backups and disaster recovery, as well as solving any IT issues that may arise within their organisation. As a result, Mid-West Spina Bifida can spend less time operating their website and IT infrastructure and spend more time continuing to make a difference in many people's lives.

Detectives who led the investigation into the attempted assassination of a former Russian spy in Salisbury have uncovered new evidence that links the Kremlin to at least two other suspected murders on British soil.
Officers from Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command (SO15), which investigated the poisoning of MI6 double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, have obtained new information that suggests others may have been targeted by Russian killers.
One of the cases under consideration is understood to be that of Alexander Perepilichnyy, a businessman who died after blowing the whistle on a Kremlin fraud. The 44-year-old ate Russian sorrel soup before he vomited a “greeny-yellow” liquid and collapsed outside his Surrey mansion in 2012.

Child development & stages. What to expect and what your responsibilities will be.
Did you know that our children are in the business of learning? They attempt to store all the things that happen to them into some type of logical form.
Learning is to gain knowledge, understanding, or skill.(This is in accordance with the great Webster.) An even broader definition of learning is "any permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of a practice or an experience." This makes what we teach our children even more important as it has the potential to have a lasting affect in their behavior.
Children are a bundle of ideas and thoughts. If you ever really look at your child you will see that these thought patterns are much different from that of an adult and can certainly be expressed in much different ways.
There are four different stages of learning or development that each child goes through.
This is form the ages of birth to about two years old. During this time the child's primary mode of learning occurs through the five senses. S/he learns to experience environment. The child touches things, holds, looks, listens, tastes, feels, bangs, and shakes everything in sight. For this child the sense of time is now and the sense of space is here. When the child adds motor skills such as creeping, crawling, and walking--watch out--his/her environment expands by leaps and bounds. The child is now exploring their environment with both senses and the ability to get around.
This just doubled your job as a parent because now you need to start dealing with such things as protection and guidance. This mode of learning actually continues through the age of twelve, but becomes less acute as the years go by.
This is the stages between ages two and seven. During this stage the child is busy gathering information or learning, and then trying to figure out ways that they can used what they have learned to begin solving problems.
During this stage of his/her life your child will be thinking in specifics and will find it very difficult to generalize anything. An example would be a ball: A ball is not something that you use to play a game, it is just something that you throw.
This is the time when a child learns by asking questions. You will begin to think that if you hear the word why just one more time that you will go crazy. The child generally will not want a real answer to his question at this point. When he asks why do we have grass---He simply wants to know that it is for him to play in. No technical answers for know.
The child in this age group judges everything the me basis How does it affect>me? Do I like it? You get the idea! This child also has no ability to go back in time and reason. If you miss your opportunity to explain or punish when it happens--forget it for they have.
This is the period of time when your child is between the ages of seven to ten or eleven. This is a wonderful age as this is when children begin to manipulate data mentally. They take the information at hand and begin to define, compare, and contrast it. They, however, still think concretely.
If you were to ask a pre-operations child, "How does God hear prayer?" They would most likely answer that He has big ears. The concrete child would put a little more thought into it and answer something like this: "God is smart and he made some special earphones just so He could hear me."
The concrete operational child is capable of logical thought. This child still learns through their senses, but no longer relies on only them to teach him. He now thinks as well. A good teacher for this age group would start each lesson at a concrete level and then move toward a generalized level.
A seven to ten year old is very literal in their thinking. That means that he will take everything that you say, do, and teach at face value--What they actually and literally mean. BLACK is black and WHITE is white. These children have a difficult time with symbols and figurative language.
This period begins at about age eleven.
At this time the child will break through the barrier of literalism and move on to thinking in more abstract terms. He no longer restricts thinking to time and space. This child now starts to reflect, hypothesize, and theorize. He actually thinks about thinking.
1. Knowledge of facts and principals--this is the direct recall of facts and principals. Examples: memorization of dates, names, definition, vocabulary words.
2. Comprehension--understanding of facts and ideas.
4. Analysis--breaking down concepts into parts.
5. Synthesis--putting together information or ideas.
6. Evaluation--judging the value of information.
1. A child rarely learns in isolation.
2. Learning most generally takes place in a setting of children within the same age group.
3. Some factors that affect learning are motivation, peer relationships within the group, and communication between the child and the teacher.
4. Other factors are environment, physical setting, emotional atmosphere, and social and cultural norms.
As we can see from this article, the older your children get the more capable of learning and storing information. The older our children get the more responsible we become in helping them to fine tune there new found capabilities.

Suited for semiconductor and sensor testing, Spring Probe Pins consist of mobile plunger, cylindrical housing or barrel, and spring contained within it. Units establish contact to IC packages such as QFP, BGA, QFN, and LGA with pitch from 0.3-2.54 mm. They offer typical contact forces of 25 gf, working temperature of -40 to +150Â°C, and contact resistance of less than 50 mW. Pins can be fabricated from different materials to meet electrical and mechanical requirements.
Munich, March 2009 - The latest in the extensive product line of high-end test contactors, PCBs and burn-in sockets offered by Yamaichi Electronics is now individual spring contact pins, so-called "spring probe pins". Besides semiconductor and sensor testing, they can also be used in other areas, such as medical/space, application testing, failure analysis, programming, and burn-in (HAST/THB).
The task of the spring probe pin is to establish reliable contact to different IC packages such as QFP, BGA, QFN, LGA, and other semiconductor components with a pitch from 0.3 mm (ultra-low pitch) to 2.54 mm. Other possible applications are wafer-level contacting, as well as applications in board-to-board connectors and PCB testing.
1. Durable stable contact design with simultaneous lowest mechanical contact wear, i.e. no degradation of the contact force as well as minimised contact movement on the IC component or PCB contact pad.
2. Reliably low contact resistance (< 50 mW), even with differing surfaces.
Spring probe pins consist of a mobile plunger, the cylindrical housing or barrel, and the spring contained within it. The design of the tip is available in different tip styles. There are convex (spherical), conical, and crown-shaped plunger variants available. The upper and lower plunger geometry can also be combined in different ways if needed. There are also variants with only one movable plunger. Different spring contact pin lengths (min. 1.0 mm) and barrel diameters are available. The smallest diameter available is a mere 0.1 mm.
Depending on customer requirements, the pins can be fabricated from different materials in order to meet both electrical and mechanical requirements. The portfolio covers contact cycle lifetimes of >500k, typical contact forces of 25gf, working temperature ranges of -40°C to +150°C, and a stable, low contact resistance of <50 mW.
There are already about 20 different standard types ready and waiting in our Munich warehouse. The minimum order quantity is 100 units. Other versions are available upon request.
Yamaichi is a market leader for test & burn-in sockets, connectors and connection systems - areas in which reliability and function safety are essential for the success of the whole project. Yamaichi has established itself very quickly on the world market as a manufacturer of high-quality and reliable components for ambitious applications in the following sectors: telecommunications infrastructure, industrial automation, mobile computer technology, mobile telephones, GPS systems, printers, digital cameras, camcorders, as well as electronic devices in the retail trade, industry and electronics.

Manny Reyes-Ponce, TWA President, is continuing to make great contributions as a leader on campus, and feeling confident that this will be another great year at Worcester State.
The President of Worcester State’s Third World Alliance (TWA) is Manny Reyes-Ponce, a third-year student here on campus. Last year, Manny led TWA (a student organization that focuses on bringing multiculturalism, pluralism, and diversity to campus) to great success.
He is now going into his second year as President. However, if you were to ask Manny his role on campus, he would simply tell you that he is a proud first-generation college student studying Business Administration at Worcester State, and he is a student first.
Therefore, Manny does not focus on his title as President of TWA, but rather views himself as a member of a team. He strongly believes that both learning and working with a team are two important components of leadership. Therefore, he is intentional in making sure he engages in learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
The Office of Student Involvement sat down with Manny recently to learn more about his work both on campus and within the local community.
If you were looking for Manny on campus, you might find him in class. You may find him in the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) with his advisor Laxmi Bissoondial, or in the TWA Office. You might also see him in the Student Involvement office, speaking with the office’s director, Kristie McNamara, about logistics for an event. Finally, you may very well find Manny out in the local community helping to engage youth in conversations related to unity among diversity.
Manny is very much involved in his community, and it has shaped his view regarding the definition of leadership.
Manny explained that through his work and collaboration with other leaders on campus, he has learned the importance of taking the time to truly listen to what those around him have to say. He has also learned to take pieces of what he appreciates about his peers’ leadership style to create his own unique way of leading.
Manny has also come to realize that leadership can be tough. It is not easy to lead a diverse group of individuals to accomplish a common goal. However, learning to work with diversity in a group is extremely important. This has been one of the biggest lessons Manny has learned during his time here at WSU.
In addition to his commitment to TWA, Manny worked this past summer as a Resident Advisor for Worcester State’s Upward Bound program (a pre-college program for local high school students). He has also dedicated his time to lending a hand to Worcester States’s Alternatives for Individual Development (AID) program through the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
As a native of Worcester, Manny also feels it is important to give back to the community. He has been an active member of the Culture Exchange Through Soccer program (CETS) for the past 9 years. CETS is a non-profit organization dedicated to using the sport of soccer to unify diverse communities in the pursuit of collective empowerment. Manny has been with the organization for 9 years.
“We organize Worcester World Cup for both men and women,” Manny said.
The wide range of countries that have been represented in this event is a testament to the diversity of the city of Worcester. Manny explained that the teams participating in the Worcester World Cup represent many countries, including Brazil, Ecuador, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, Iraq, Albania, Myanmar, and Italy – just to name a few. In order to qualify to represent a country in the tournament, the majority of members on each team must come from the specific country.
Manny’s family is from El Salvador, and he is happy to share that El Salvador has a team participating in the games. Manny also explained that his cultural background has had a large impact on the development of his leadership style.
Manny brings this mindset into his work with TWA. Looking ahead to this new academic year, he is most excited to work with the new team of TWA leaders to see what they can accomplish.
Manny encourages the members of his team to take an active role and become more involved, not just in TWA, but in anything that interests them in the community.
“I’m looking forward to seeing who is going to emerge as our next great leader as the school year ends,” Manny said. Manny is also excited to collaborate with other student leaders across campus, as well as other departments and offices.
With his positive outlook and his eagerness for teamwork, we are excited to see the impact that Manny will continue to make at Worcester State this academic year.
“I feel good about what we can all do together as community,” Manny said.
We do too, Manny! Best of luck at Worcester State this year! Go Lancers.

Our mini-May Zoocation finale was at the Cincinnati Zoo. It was a rainy, bleak day and after one click, my camera died. We tried triage to no avail. After a small ‘woe is me’ breakdown I took out my iPhone 6s. All of the photos in today’s montage were taken with my smart phone. I like the Cincinnati Zoo (second visit) but the weather caused many of the animals to be indoors. Despite not seeing adorable baby hippo, Fiona, we had a great time. PS – they have the best insect house we have even seen.
They have manatees! so cool! one time I thought my camera was broken, but it turns out I never took the lens cap off. Are you sure this isn’t the problem with yours?
Great pics. Love the Cincinnati Zoo. Got to see their tulip display several years ago. Breathtaking!… Love that shot you got of the Lemur.

The relations between the Canary Islands and Cape Verde are of those of good neighbours, with cooperation in many fields.
The director general of Casa África, Luis Padrón, was part of the delegation that visited Cape Verde this week, accompanying the President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo Batllé. The official, commercial Canary Islands visit to Praia was made in order to participate in the Cape Verde-Canary Islands Summit. This bilateral meeting included the signing of a memorandum of understanding and a final declaration and was attended by the Prime Minister of Cape Verde, José Ulisses de Pina Correia e Silva. The day before the summit day, a business meeting was held between the Minister of the Economy of Cape Verde, José Gonçalves, and the Minister of the Economy, Industry, Trade and Knowledge of the Canary Islands, Pedro Ortega Rodríguez. At this meeting, business opportunities in the country were explored through a presentation by Ana Barber, president of Cape Verde Trade Invest.
The relations between the Canary Islands and Cape Verde are of those of good neighbours, with cooperation in many fields. Dozens of companies from the Canary Islands have decided to commit to Cape Verde to expand their businesses and the Canary Islands’ airline Binter has now been awarded the contract for domestic flights within Cape Verde. The summit also highlights the excellent relations between the authorities of Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, based on mutual learning and collaboration. At the start of this month, the Cape Verde Culture Minister, Abrao Anibal Barbosa Vicent, spent a few days in the Canary Islands with an agenda organised by Casa África to meet with different authorities and make working visits.
