Blockchain Call – Stories of UNICEF Innovation
The UNICEF Innovation Fund is looking to make $50-90K equity-free investments to provide early stage (seed) finance to for-profit technology start-ups that have the potential to benefit humanity. We are currently looking to invest in a group of companies developing software solutions on open blockchains.
As an aside (and joke, lest someone wiser point out that that's not really what this list is for), I notice the US is missing from the list of "Programme Countries". I guess they've given up on us benefiting humanity.

Independent of past/current political situation in the US, the UN's Agencies are so often an insulting sham of their original purpose that donating to any of them is a mistake.
I'd hope some fine EU (or Asian) country would step up and offer to host the damn thing in their country.

Gee... dong blockchain research is a perfect fit for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund 
As for the US not being a "programme country"... nor is Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc...
It's a charity. First world countries need not apply. Except China and India of course...

Did not need to. While the message that was displayed was not really helpful, it turned out that the EotD (Error of the Day) was no error at all. The user was denied access because of some weird settings and existing twice (!) in the database. You can't confuse my security functions with such simple tricks.
The only change concerned the message. Instead of some weird 'There has been an error' stuff, we now have something about 'access denied because of user settings', but that must not be deployed right away.

My duck-and-cover tactic:
My arrival at work precedes every else. I do the updates - and if they barf - I roll them back. No one's the wiser and the user-panic that would otherwise ensue is (usually!) averted.

And miss all the fun and the chance to wear your red cape (the one with the 'S') and rescue them?

If it is of my doing, a conical hat is more likely. And, of course, I still get to fix the damage.

The conical head hat is ok, but I always was a little suspicious of old men who run around in dresses.
Edit: Conical head?

Ah - if it only were so painless as a conical head.
In US, the conical hat (without foil) refers to this[^]

Please leave it more than one minute for the rest of us to have a go at guessing the wrong answer tomorrow, before you provide the correct answer.

OK.
Given that I'm posting the question, that shouldn't be a problem!

You say that, but how do we know all the accounts participating in the CCC aren't your's.

I am exchanging my old phone with a new one. There is a lot of data on it (like banking apps) which must not end up in bad hands. I understand that I can still get some, if not all, files back after factory reset. So, I looked up play store to find a wipe app but there are many. With plenty of positive and negative reviews. I am not really sure which one to try out. Anyone here knows good app I could use?
If not, I will do it the hard way. (Factory reset -> Save junk files on entire phone storage -> Factory reset) * 3. This will take some time though.

Well,
This video shows the most effective method for wiping your phone data:
Wiping your iPhone 6 Plus[^]
If you use this method... please report back and let us know how the exchange went.

I have an Android device. I highly suspect Apple approach will work with Android. Can you lend me an iphone so I can try?
