Disney Conservation Fund Helps Bat Conservation International Support Wildlife and the Environment

Press Release:

Disney Conservation Fund Helps Bat Conservation International Support Wildlife and the Environment

[Austin, Texas, November 26, 2019] – Bat Conservation International (BCI) has been awarded a grant by the Disney Conservation Fund (DCF) to stop the rapid population decline of the endangered Mexican long-nosed bat in northern Mexico. As part of this work, BCI’s bi-national team of experts will lead a series of community-based conservation activities aimed at identifying, protecting, and restoring agave habitat – the key food source for this nectar feeding bat. By harnessing community support, this large-scale initiative will help save the Mexican long-nosed bat by establishing robust ‘nectar corridors’ that the bats can use during their annual migration from Central Mexico to the southwestern U.S.

The fund has been supporting local efforts around the world aimed at saving wildlife, inspiring action and protecting the planet with nearly $86 million distributed to nonprofit organizations since 1995.

Dr. Jon Flanders, Director, BCI’s Endangered Species Intervention Project explains the importance of this work: “This initiative builds on the success of previous work aimed at protecting important cave roosts for this endangered species of bat. Focusing our efforts on protecting and restoring agave habitat in northern Mexico marks a significant step in our conservation efforts to save this species from extinction, none of which would have been possible without the ongoing support of the Disney Conservation Fund.”

DCF grant recipients are selected based on their efforts to implement comprehensive community wildlife conservation programs, stabilize and increase populations of at-risk animals and engage communities in conservation in critical ecosystems around the world.

For information on Disney’s commitment to conserve nature and a complete list of grant recipients, visit www.disney.com/conservation.

On Ignored Users Spoken Language

I think I've talked already few times about this problems but I don't see anything happening ... actually, it's getting worst and worst.

Who Is Directly Affected And Is Wasting Money

  • Companies paying for Online Advertisement
  • Companies selling online
  • Companies providing online services

Who Is Responsible

  • every service that is addressing users through their current IP address, without asking permission, and assuming if you travel to any country in this world you automatically speak that country language
  • every service that completely ignores Accept-Language on the server side, and navigator.language on the client side
This is an extract from the Accept-Language used for locale setting post directly from W3C website:
For a first contact, using the Accept-Language value to infer regional settings may be a good starting point, but be sure to allow them to change the language as needed and specify their cultural settings more exactly if necessary. Store the results in a database or a cookie for later visits.
...
By the way
Using the Accept-Language header is also a good starting point for determining the language of the user, rather than the locale ...
Accordingly, instead using users IP location to define their language, I'd rather prefer them to use my daily language of choice, which comes most likely from the fact that my entire Operating System speaks English, as example, so PLEASE, give me English content whenever I am!

It feels so straightforward simple thing, right? Wondering who is doing it right?

Nobody Is Doing It Right

I am in Germany these days, and suddenly I don't understand anything. I cannot even be "victim" of Ads, I'm rather disturbed by them.

Google

Before even asking to use my detailed location provided through the browser, if I type google.com in the URL bar I'm redirected to google.de. Why does that happen? Simple, they know by my IP I am in Germany ^_^.
If I choose the English language and I search for O2 DSL, imagining I'd like to sign for a contract, or need some help, this is the result:

Exporting modules in JavaScript

In my latest entry I explain the difference about exporting a module between server side or CLI environments such Nashorn, SpiderMonkey, JSC, or micro controller and embedded engines such Duktape, Espruino, KinomaJS, and Desktop UI space via GJS.
Using this is a universal way to attach and export properties but when it comes to ES2015 modules, incompatible with CommonJS and with an undefined execution context.
Enjoy

module.import(async)

Using a de-facto standard like CommonJS is for modules, I've implemented a Promise based import after TC39 proposal, which also accepts promises based module.exports.

Backward compatible and deadly simple, this proposal needs some adoption in order to push it further at TC39 or NodeJS.

Don't miss the post!
