Even if you already use free email services like cPanel email, Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo!, having a dedicated app to send and receive emails makes it so much easier. Plus, you can manage all the emails you have to keep track of for your business all in one place. One of the best things about the Microsoft mail app is that it takes all your email accounts and keeps them in one place. This way, you never have to worry about switching accounts or forwarding your emails. And Windows 10 is colorful and user-friendly, which is why we offer it along with our Microsoft Hosted Exchange emails. In this guide, you’ll learn these vital tips about using the Microsoft mail app in Windows 10. Table of Contents Setup Microsoft Mailing App on Windows 10 - Set up your email account - How to add more accounts - Send and read messages - How to link all your inboxes - How to show (or hide) the navigation bar - Create ‘favorite’ folders - How to open multiple messages at once - How to change the look of your emails 1. How to set up your email account: 1. Open Microsoft mail by clicking the Start button (the one that looks like a window) then clicking Mail. 2. When Microsoft mail opens, choose the Settings icon (which looks like a gear) from the menu at the bottom of the app. 3. A menu will pop up on the right side of the screen. From this menu, select Manage accounts. 4. Click Add account. 5. Choose Advanced setup from the list of account types. 6. Choose Internet email. 7. Enter your account details. Once you’ve correctly filled in all your details, you’ll see a message that says “All done! – Your account is set up.’ 8. Click Done to complete the process, so you can start sending and receiving emails using Microsoft mail. 2. How to add more accounts: If you have more than one email account, you can easily add all your accounts to your Microsoft mail app. All you have to do is click Accounts (to the left of Mail), then click Add Account. When prompted, enter your account details just like you did when you were first setting up your email account. 3. How to send and read messages: To send an email, click ‘New mail’ in the left pane of the mail app. To read your emails, click one of your inboxes (organized in the categories ‘Focused’ and ‘Other’), and click the message you want to read. All the messages you haven’t read will be conveniently highlighted in bold. 4. How to link all your inboxes: Microsoft mail keeps all your email accounts separate by default, but if you want to hop from one account to another, you can use the menu on the left of the app. If you want to see all your accounts in one place, just click Accounts in the same menu on the left, then click ‘Link inboxes’ on the right. Click on all the email accounts you want to link, enter a name for the linked inbox, and click Save. 5. How to show (or hide) the navigation bar: The navigation bar makes it easy to hop between email accounts and folders, but if you don’t want the bar cluttering up your interface, all you have to do is click the three-line icon at the left of the Microsoft mail app. This will hide the navigation bar. If you want to reveal the bar, click the icon again. 6. How to create ‘favorite’ folders: To create a new folder, click Folders to the left of the mail app, then when the menu pops up, click the ‘+’ symbol. Type the name you want to give your folder, and press the Enter key on your keyboard. To make this folder a favorite, right-click it and choose Add to Favorites. 7. How to open multiple messages at once: The preview window shows only one email message at a time, but if you ever want to open multiple messages, you can easily do this. All you have to do is click the email you want to read, then click ‘Open message in new window’. (This button is at the right of the “From” section.) When the email message opens, choose another message and do the same thing. Adjust the windows to make it easier for you to read the emails. 8. How to change the look of your emails: Emails sent from your Microsoft mail app already look crisp and professional, but if you ever want to change anything about the look of your email, like the background color, or the font, or the signature at the end of the email, you can do all this using Settings > Personalization (to change the background color), Font (to change the style and size of your email fonts) and Signature to create custom text that will be added to all your messages.

In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern classification system. People have always given names to things that they see, including plants and animals, but Linnaeus was the first scientist to develop a hierarchal naming structure that conveyed information both about what the species was (its name) and also its closest relatives. The ability of the Linnean system to convey complex relationships to scientists throughout the world is why it has been so widely adopted. Despite existing for hundreds of years, the science of classification — taxonomy — is far from dead. Classification of many species, old and new, continues to be hotly disputed as scientists find new information or interpret facts in new ways. Arguments are fierce and species do change names, but only after a wealth of information has been gathered to support such a big step. One of the new reasons why species are being re-evaluated is because of DNA analysis. Basic genetic analysis information can change our ideas of how closely two species are related and so their classification can change, but how does the whole system work? Nature of science Improved technologies have altered our understanding of the world. In astronomy, the invention of the telescope enabled astronomers to observe outer space and see what they hadn’t been able to see before, and biologists use the microscope to observe the unseen world. Now, DNA technology has allowed scientists to re-examine the relationships between organisms to refine the classification system. When Linnaeus first described his system, he named only two kingdoms – animals and plants. Today, scientists think there are at least five kingdoms – animals, plants, fungi, protists (very simple organisms) and monera (bacteria). Some scientists now support the idea of a sixth kingdom – viruses – but this is being contested and argued around the world. Below the kingdom is the phylum (plural phyla). Within the animal kingdom, major phyla include chordata (animals with a backbone), arthropoda (includes insects) and mollusca (molluscs such as snails). Phyla have also been developed and reorganised since the original work by Linnaeus – as scientists discover more species, more categories and subcategories are put in place. Each phylum is then divided into classes. Classes within the chordata phylum include mammalia (mammals), reptilia (reptiles) and osteichthyes (fish), among others. The class will then be subdivided into an order. Within the class mammalia, examples of an order include cetacea (including whales and dolphins), carnivora (carnivores), primates (monkeys, apes and humans) and chiroptera (bats). From the order, the organism will be classified into a family. Within the order of primates, families include hominidae (great apes and humans), cercopithecidae (old world monkeys such as baboons) and hylobatidae (gibbons and lesser apes). Genus and species Finally, the classification will come to the genus (plural genera) and species. These are the names that are most commonly used to describe an organism. One outstanding feature of the Linnean classification system is that two names are generally sufficient to differentiate from one organism to the next. An example within the primate family is the genus Homo for all human species (for example, Homo sapiens) or Pongo for the genus of orangutan (for example, Pongo abelii for the Sumatran orangutan or Pongo pygmaeus for the Bornean orangutan). While this system of classification has existed for over 300 years, it is constantly evolving. Classification in the 1700s was based entirely on the morphological characteristics (what something looks like) of the organism. Those that looked most alike were put closest together in each category. This can be depicted as a tree, with the diverging branches showing how different the species become as you move out from the kingdoms (trunk). Now, a radical shift in the grouping of organisms is occurring with the development of DNA technologies. Sequencing of the genetic code of an organism reveals a great deal of information about its similarity with and relationship to other organisms, and this classification often goes against the traditional morphological classification. Scientists are debating which species are most closely related and why. Currently in New Zealand, there are projects to sequence kiwi and tuatara DNA that may revolutionise the way we think about these species and their closest living relatives. However, DNA technology is still expensive and time-consuming, so the first step in any classification continues to rely on a comparison of morphological features, similar to the process that Linnaeus undertook in the 1700s. Your students can learn more about how the Linnaean classification system works with this activity, Insect mihi. Students write a formal introduction for an insect species of their choice, including information about the insect’s relationship to other animals and also the land. Find out more Classification is not a field that stays still and this means scientists and taxonomists sometimes have to reassess classifications.

I am back with another list of upcoming South Korean tv shows I think you will want to check out. I hope you enjoy it. I am sure I have written about this one before but I think it was under a different name. Ah well, there’s no harm in adding it in here too. A series that focuses on a lawyer who has spent his life on the right side of the law. The thing is, if pushed in the slightest the lawyer has an Evil side that no one should ever see. After an incident, the lawyer cracks and his dark side takes hold. A man who kills himself is met by Death at the gates of Hell. Death puts a curse on him: he must experience death 12 more times, all through different bodies and excruciating causes of death. The only way Death will refuse his entry into hell is if he survives one of the new bodies. Another new K Drama that is based on a webcomic. NIGHT HAS COME Another one I have mentioned before. This one sounds like a lot of fun but I am finding it hard to understand what exactly “Mafia Games” are. Night Has Come does sound to me like it has some Battle Royale vibes. A group of high schoolers are forced to partake in mafia games to the death. A battle for survival ignites between the students as they try to outwit and outsmart each other to stay alive. A SHOP FOR KILLERS I can’t find a lot of information on this one but it sounds interesting. A Shop For Killers is a new action drama that focuses on a nephew who grew up with his uncle after the death of his parents. He is brought to a shocking new reality when his uncle, the owner of a mysterious shopping mall drops dead leaving him the sole proprietor. I have no idea what sort of shopping mall this is but by the looks of the featured image, it seems to be your one-stop-shop for everything a serial killer or hitman could need. As always, thanks for reading.

They conduct weekly demos with current customers and potential customers for their software. They post dates, times and topics for each demo. I'd like to enable event rich snippets for their website (see attached image for an example), but I am unsure exactly how to do that. A) Do I just need to setup Event Schema Tags? Does it need to be updated manually every week? Is their a software solution? Thanks ahead of time for all the great responses! Cheers Will H. 8Wsh3l8Intermediate & Advanced SEO \| \| MarketingChimp100 Hi. I was wondering what was the best way to show my audience articles that my client is featured in. My client is specifically a surgeon, who has been referenced in many articles around his specific field of cosmetic surgery. An idea posed is to repost the entire article but just reference back to the original article. Is there an SEO friendly way of doing this? I have seen this done before, like search engine journal's author Larry Kim might repost something he wrote or published on wordstream onto search engine journal sometimes, but makes the reference that it was originally posted on wordstream. I know the standard thinking is to always just write new and unique content, but there is already a good amount written about our client and referencing his work, how can we use this to our advantage and give new or prospecting patients information regarding his credibility? Our client really does not want us to write articles for him, and he does not have the time to write them either. Again Question: How can we leverage articles and studies that have already been published online that is featuring our client and show them in full onto our own website?Intermediate & Advanced SEO \| \| Ideas-Money-Art0 Hey guys, I realize similar topics have surfaced before, but mainly related to duplicate content penalties, which is not my concern in this case. My client is parsing blog snippets to the home page; actually 3 large snippets consisting of of approximately 200 words each. They create at least one fresh blog post per month pertaining to the specific industry. I realize this practice has widely embraced to satisfy the "freshness factor" but I am concerned it could be hindering the ability for the home page to rank for our two targeted phrases. It would seem that by continually rotating the blog snippets which contain content related to the industry, but not necessarily relevant to the home page's targeted key phrases - combined with the fact that the home page has very slim static content - the bots are attempting to assign new taxonomies of information on a monthly basis. My thoughts are to create a decent block of static content highly-relevant to the home page's target phrases, while reducing the amount of info. contained in the blog snippets, to perhaps only a headline and date. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.Intermediate & Advanced SEO \| \| SCW0 I've some Duplicate issues showing up in Moz Analytics which are due to a Q&A plugin being used on a Wordpress website which prompts the user to login.

Now, they can vote, because everybody can vote when they’re 18 \|This is Emily Davison, she died before I was born What I want to say to little girls everywhere I think that you should: - be good - help each other - go to school and learn - treat each other nicely - be brave like Emily Davison - never give up, keep on working What I want to be when I’m older I want to be a doctor because I want to help people and girls can be anything they want \|This will be me when I’m older Important things for girls to do in their lives - have a job - have a house - go to university - don’t break the law - stick up for yourself and go boxing like I do - treat yourself - get kids - go somewhere new - don’t be a bully - be independent - work hard - do what you want to do!!!

Xiao Huan is an interior designer that likes functional and beautiful designs that enable people to have a better life experience. I am a designer from Sense Home. I have worked in the design industry for 9 years and have won many design awards. My design categories mainly include residential apartments and villas. Because art is closely related to life, I like to discover the beautiful things around me, and I also want to make others feel good through my own creation. I am a soft decoration designer of Sense Home. Sense Home is based in Chengdu, focusing on the construction of private residences, and has a group of senior design teams with professional design capabilities and advanced aesthetic vision. Sense Home takes the "three goods": good design, good delivery, and good service as the basic tenet of enterprise survival and progress. With the value of "being good for life" as the guide, it advocates leading customers to feel the infinite possibilities of home. For me, Design means creating beautiful things. The home design that I like is both functional and beautiful, because the design is to enable people to have a better life experience, so first of all, we must consider the needs of the occupants in life, and secondly goes to the aesthetics. A design that is both functional and beautiful. My design style tends to be modern, which is based on the aesthetics and lifestyles of modern people. First, I will communicate with the client the design style she wants, and then I will conduct color testing, on-site room measurement and other steps, and then start to make the design plan. After several rounds of communication with the client, I will finally determine the design plan, and then start the construction. Yes, it has a big impact. The city where I live and work is Chengdu. It is called the garden city at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and it is also an Internet celebrity city that many people yearn for. There are diverse cultures, rich cuisines, and long historical stories. The people born in this city are more likely to accept new things. They enjoy the joy of life and like to be company with beautiful things. Under the influence of these factors, I was able to boldly add innovation to the design and combine the local culture to make the home design meet people's aesthetic needs. This award is of great significance to me and the team. The international award means that our work has been recognized internationally. It is a great encouragement to me and the team. This award inspires us to continue to work hard and continue to create better works. The work of "Ran Qing" intends to illuminate life and carry the emotional interaction of the occupants through every unique detail in the design space. Let people find a pure land in the fast-paced urban drums, and slowly clear up the mood and life under careful and slow tasting. The awards have encouraged me to continue to create more outstanding works. 1. Be able to use creativity to create new design works 2. Be able to appreciate the works of many excellent designers 3.Be able to create a happy home for customers, with a sense of accomplishment in my heart China has a history of 5,000 years, and there have been many outstanding architectural monuments since its early days, and those are stunning design works that will make future generations stunned. Now more and more designers are absorbing the essence of Chinese design, incorporating Chinese elements into the design, and creating unique works. In the future, the design industry will continue to develop vigorously, and more and more outstanding designers will emerge. As long as you work hard to move towards your goal and keep learning and accumulating, you will surely be able to achieve your goal. Look at different works, constantly thinking, take its essence to discard its dross. In life, my family has given me a lot of inspiration. After setting up my own small family, I will pay more attention to the practicality of interior design, and will apply it to my design works based on my own personal experience to bring customers a better living experience. Persistence and continuous learning are the key to success. Sense Home is an award-winning interior design studio based in China.

Trapped in the shifting sands, there exists a captivating sight that sparks curiosity and wonder—the Buried Houses. These forgotten dwellings, now engulfed by the relentless march of time and nature, stand as silent witnesses to a forgotten era. Once inhabited and full of life, these houses now lie partially or completely buried beneath the undulating dunes. The shifting sands have claimed them as their own, preserving fragments of history and revealing glimpses of a bygone time. The scene is both eerie and enchanting, drawing adventurers and archaeologists alike to explore the secrets hidden beneath the surface. The Buried Houses exist in various parts of the world, each with its own story to tell. Some were once bustling towns or villages, now buried beneath layers of sand due to natural phenomena such as desertification or the encroachment of shifting dunes. Others were victims of powerful sandstorms or the gradual accumulation of windblown sand over the centuries. As one stands amidst the desolate landscape, the outlines of the buried houses emerge, partially exposed and weathered by the elements. Doors and windows, now mere openings to the past, offer a glimpse into the lives that once thrived within these walls. The architecture and construction techniques reflect the ingenuity and resilience of those who built these homes, adapting to the harsh desert environment. Walking through the remnants of these buried houses, the imagination takes flight. Whispers of conversations, laughter, and daily routines seem to linger in the air. Each room holds a story, frozen in time, waiting to be unraveled. Broken pottery, remnants of furniture, and traces of personal belongings hint at the lives that were lived here, evoking a sense of nostalgia and a longing to understand the people who once called this place home. The Buried Houses also serve as a stark reminder of the transience of human existence and the power of nature’s forces. They stand as a testament to the impermanence of our achievements, a reminder that even the most solid structures can be overtaken by the relentless march of time.
Images depict the exact instant a 400-pound lion decided to hunt seven impalas for food. The ravenous cat was observed attacking the defenseless flock and attempting to consume them all. C Fisher, a 27-year-old photographer from Durban, South Africa, was in Kruger National Park when a lion appeared abruptly 20 feet away from his vehicle. The King of the Jungle traveled via tt and divides the herd of impala. Fisher, a quick-thinking individual, snatched out his camera and snapped photos of the magnificent ss. One image depicts a lion attacking impalas and scattering them in all directions. One of its companions was rendered immobile by terror at the lion’s feet, while the impala escaped the lion’s teeth. Fisher, who described the incident, stated that the lion hovered over seven impalas and attempted to drive them into his jaws. As the crowds grew, he was able to position one in his mouth while the other rested at his feet. The impala youngsters slid and skidded in their ranc. According to Fisher, the lion escaped into the forest after killing the impalas. They did not detect the lion’s presence until the very last instant, when it was already too late.
Case Study on Dell Group ASSIGNMENT II – Get Answers PURCHASING & PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT- SBS MBA SPECIALIZATION Total Marks: _______ /60 Dell relies on a unique supply chain slrategy that gathers large volumes of customer information through its direct sales model and share it with internal procurement and sales department as well as external suppliers. These close relationships allows dell to know what to supply on real timeand also very quickly and precisely meet the demand, whilemaintaining low inventory. These relationships able io forecast accurately without filling a pipeline of finished goods. To succesfully forecast, Dell maintains a constant flow of data in two information loops .One between customers and the Dell sales team, and the other amongsales,procurement and suppliers. This helps dell to know how well suppliers can support these forecats and also on other end, how dell sales team can effectively promote .Dell’scomunication system provides a rich mix ofcurrent and historical information about supplier performanceIn order to compete globally, Dell should look at efficiency and cost containment. Unlike certain companies who strictly focus on revenue increases; Dell has made use of emerging concept of outsourcing even at early stage while adding value to it through the advanced ICT. As companies seek to enhance their competitive positions in an increasingly global marketplace, they are discovering that they can cut costs and maintain quality by relying more on outside service providers for activities viewed as supplementary to their core business. Firms usually derive two main advantages by outsourcing; strategic flexibility and lower costs. Dell outsources because it enables Dell’s business model to be successful. Dell believed that their comparative advantage is in pricing, customization and rapid order fulfillment. They also realized that they can explore more advantages through supply chain management and logistics than focusing on manufacturing of components. It may be true that Dell does little more than final assembly of components into PC under such concept but the fact remains that it facilitated Dell to focus on the most critical factors in customer satisfaction and retention. Dell very correctly focused on core areas where they are good at while allowing their suppliers to do the rest in other areas of the process. Outsourcing, in general has become one of the most important and popular strategies in an increasingly competitive marketplace. This concept has proven results for Dell considering their global success which is a prime result of development of and recommitment to the core competencies of the company. Dell was able to do this by delegating most of work to their suppliers who independently contributed their share in completing “Dell total product” for mutual benefits. Because Outsourcing allows companies to focus only on their most successful work and enjoy the benefits of allowing their outsourcing partners to do the same in whatever their core areas. Dells, outsourcing relationships have been focused from cost savings to multidimensional partnerships that support the core business of client corporations. This type of outsourcing relationships have delivered lucrative results for Dell to engage in more and more outsourcing activities as partnerships. Therefore Dells component providers are taking increasing responsibility in improving service standards. Dell is so big that the suppliers want to be associated with them badly thus they revisit their corporate strategy, information management,business investment, and internal quality initiatives to be on par with Dells needs. Accordingly, in consideration of several advantages that Dell gains through purchasing most of the components from independent suppliers, it can be concluded that outsourcing allows Dell to focus on what it does best and leave their component suppliers to do the rest at their best for Dell. ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS( 4 x 15=60marks) - Explain what role procurement and sales plays in Dell unique Supply chain strategy? - Comment how effectively different drivers of supply chain and internal procurement utilized by dell? - Why does Dell purchase most of the components that go into its PC from independent suppliers, as opposed to making more itself? (Dell does little more than final assembly of components into PC) - How Dell can eliminate redundancies and maximize the value of the procurement process today?
In early July 2019, Masterton Ltd is considering the acquisition of some machinery for $1 100 000 to be used in the manufacture of a new product. The machinery has a useful life of 10 years, during which management plans to produce 500 000 units of the new product. The residual value of the machinery is $100 000. The following projections were made in order to select a depreciation method to be used for the machinery. In calculating the profit before depreciation, all expenses have been deducted, including the repairs and maintenance expense. Ignore GST (a) As the accountant for Masterton Ltd, prepare separate depreciation schedules for the machinery for the 5-year period, using the following depreciation methods: ii. diminishing balance Use the following headings for each schedule: ‘Year ending 30 June’, ‘Annual depreciation expense’, ‘Accumulated depreciation’, ‘Carrying amount at end of year’. (b) Prepare a report for management, stating the advantages and disadvantages of each depreciation method. Include in the report your recommendations on the choice of method consistent with the requirements of IAS 16/AASB 116. Support your recommendations with schedules showing the total annual cost of operating the machinery, and the profit after depreciation. (c) Write an addendum to your report, making further recommendations based on the following additional information supplied to you by management. As an alternative to acquiring the machinery, management is considering leasing the machinery for an annual rental charge of $250 000; all repairs and maintenance costs would be paid by the lessor. Secondly, management wishes to show the most favourable financial results in anticipation of acquiring a long-term bank loan.

O Jesus, I want to live in the present moment, to live as if this were the last day of my life. I want to use every moment scrupulously for the greater glory of God, to use every circumstance for the benefit of my soul. I want to look upon everything from the point of view that nothing happens without the will of God. God of unfathomable mercy, embrace the whole world and pour Yourself out upon us through the merciful Heart of Jesus”
Sugar interactions are no one-size-fits-all, simply like coffee dating. There are various provisions in the honey dish, including loose and no-strings-attached preparations. These non-sexy, attached agreements are occasionally referred to as friends-with-benefits. They usually entail a informal connection based on philosophical principles, which may develop into mentoring. Typically, these agreements are based on products, travel, and economical assistance. 1. Looking for arrangements Despite the stigma associated with honey relationships, there are numerous advantages for both parties. The two parties involved and their willingness to be honest about expectations, limitations, and desires will determine everything. A successful relationship depends on distinct communication, so it’s crucial for both parties to establish these boundaries right away. Along with the money, many sweets toddlers look for legitimate connections and emotional fulfillment with their sugar dads or mommies. Additionally, they value chances to go, have opulent activities, and network with possible business or job prospects. Additionally, sweets infants might want to contribute to undergraduate loan repayment https://sugardaddyaustralia.org/sugar-baby-websites-and-apps/. Many of these girls are also parents, and because of their honey daddy’s economic security, they can concentrate on raising their families. This kind of structure can be very advantageous for females who are having trouble providing for their communities during a time of economic ambiguity. 2. individuality of the glucose mommy Whether they are looking for money, company, or a casual relationship, sugars dads have distinctly different personalities. Some people are kind, some are distant, and others are straightforward. These characteristics have an impact on the relationship’s interactions and arrangement. Even though not all sugars relationships call for intercourse, many do. Because they “owe it to them,” sugar babies claim in a variety of interviews that they feel compelled to have sex or give their sugar daddy( mamas ) unrestricted access to the phone and the internet. Remain vigilant about browsing profiles and interacting with potential fits to find a sweets papa who fits your lifestyle. You can find out about your fits’ passions and objectives in this way. Additionally, it aids in weeding out potential matches who do n’t fit your needs well. Additionally, sweets dating’s digital nature encourages integrity by allowing you to discuss your expectations and boundaries with your sugars companion right away. 3. 3. rewarded company Some sugars toddlers decide to make it clear that they have no interest in having sex and only want to be around their sugar mommy. They can do this by using online dating sites, which enable them to meet a probable sugar daddy. A affluent honey daddy might, for instance, need a friend to keep him company because of his busy schedule. A glucose papa traveling for work and asking a fresh person to travel with him is another instance. In this situation, the relation is more about compassion and mentoring than it is about sexual. This can be a fantastic manner for younger ladies to advance their careers and gain knowledge from successful people. Additionally, some sweets dads might perhaps give their friends a financial salary. They can now travel, eat at restaurants, and engage in other activities that they could n’t otherwise afford. Compensed companionship is another name for this agreement. 4.. 4. adoration It’s crucial to comprehend precisely what sugar dating is as the tendency becomes more popular. Being a sugar daddy is n’t one-size-fits-all, despite the myth of prosperous men buying young females items and dates. Maren Scull, a sociolog, recently conducted 48 in-depth interviews on the topic and discovered seven different kinds of sugars relationships. Sugar trafficking, compensated dating, companion, friends-with-benefits, mentoring, and practical adore are a few of them. A sugar connection is typically a casual arrangement that has both personal and monetary benefits. Nonetheless, it can also develop into a mentoring or coaching partnership in which the generous donor pays the young woman to learn new skills. These agreements typically have no conditions and place a greater emphasis on camaraderie than gender. Getting to know one another and observing where it leads is the aim. These arrangements appeal to some people because they can have a great time without worrying about the determination aspect.

Sarah attends North Western in Illinois. A phone call received yesterday from her (I love calls from my grandchildren) to tell grandma she will be attending the Music Academy Of The West in Santa Barbra, California - this summer. A true honor as not many horn players are offered this opportunity. A very special time is in store for her. http://www.musicacademy.org/ Since 1947 the Music Academy of the West has fostered a uniquely joyful engagement with music. Each June 140 gifted young classical singers and instrumentalists, selected entirely for their talent, gather for eight weeks in Santa Barbara to study and make music with illustrious guest artists, conductors, and faculty – all to the delight of participating audiences. We invite you to take part in the incomparable Music Academy Summer Festival. Needless to say, Grandma is proud of her and sends her love. On a lighter note - It is Spring Break time in our area. My daughter told my little granddaughter they were going to have a special day. Going somewhere with beautiful plants and water. My little one replied "are we going to "Home Depot"? My daughter had in mind lunch and the wonderful scenery at Opryland Hotel. Home Depot like Lowe's at this time of the year, beautiful plants arriving. I love wandering among the plants and sometimes have the thought "I could take my lunch and sit on one of the garden benches".
Don't you just love it when you find a new recipe. Especially one that you like the ingredients, is simple, looks attractive and One Woman can prepare for herself and also as an addition on her big table when a lot of family will arrive for Thanksgiving Dinner.... good for all 12 months of the year. especially good next summer when I can use items from my little garden... in Florida told me about this dish and how pretty it looked when she prepared it. I am already thinking what else can I add ? She sent me the website and instead of listing ingredients and seasonings yellow squash, potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes and onions you can look up if you like. Tomato, Potato.Zucchini, Summer Squash " Casserole" My daughter substituted Egg Plant for the potatoes I like this.... Also noticed so many recipes on this site that are new to me that I like and will try in the future... I might add I have just started back on a few weeks of high prednisone It affects me differently each time. At the moment on a high and wanted to eat all day yesterday do not gain weight. At least never in the past :) Hope this is a short process that does not have any side affects I have difficulty dealing with.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are riding a wave of positive momentum as they head to Newcastle United for their Premier League encounter this Saturday. With Wolves currently in impressive form, they stand a good chance of coming away from Newcastle, who have been somewhat off the pace recently, without a defeat. Newcastle United have been finding it tough to hit their stride, with only two victories in their last nine Premier League outings. This spell has seen them endure five losses, including a significant 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in their last league match. Battling a substantial injury roster, Newcastle’s performances haven’t lived up to the previous season’s standards, leaving them a point behind Wolves in the league standings. Nonetheless, there’s a glimmer of optimism for the Magpies following their advance to the FA Cup quarter-finals after a penalty shootout win against Blackburn Rovers. One particular concern for Newcastle has been their form at St James’ Park, where they haven’t won in their last four attempts. Eddie Howe’s squad has drawn their last two home games, including a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in their most recent match in front of their own supporters. On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers are among the Premier League’s in-form teams, securing victories in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Their recent successes include a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the league and a similar narrow victory against Brighton in the FA Cup fifth round. Since the start of the year, Wolves have found a consistent vein of form, potentially setting the stage for a late push towards European qualification spots. Currently positioned ninth, Gary O’Neil’s team is nine points away from the top five but hasn’t given up hope. Wolves have particularly excelled in their away games, remaining unbeaten in their last six on the road and winning the three most recent matches in this sequence. For Newcastle, Anthony Gordon has found the net twice in his last three appearances and is available at 12/5 to score again. Alexander Isak, Newcastle’s top scorer with 10 league goals, is another one to watch, with odds of 13/10 for him to score.
Thursday, August 27, 2009 Sunday, August 9, 2009 Xiuhtecuhtli 20"x14" watercolor I met X. about three years ago and knew right away I needed to paint his portrait. He's an amazing young man on the verge of change. His eyes really are the color of turquoise and has a spirit of youthful fire and true depth. May you remain good and kind and discover your history and depth of soul as you grow. Friday, August 7, 2009 I was very honored to do a demo for the California Watercolor Association on July 15, what a great experience and I will say that I pushed through my nerves to have lots of fun and meet some great people. This is the one I started that eve and haven't been able to paint that much since then, I'm determined to finish it within the next couple of days (providing the kids will untie me and let me get to my table) I hope every one's having a great time and out in the fresh air rejuvenating themselves and preparing for what I think will be an unusual fall coming.
Ahead of his fourth professional fight about to take place at Bellator 264, heavyweight Davion Franklin is getting plenty of deserved attention. Coming into his fight against Everett Cumings, Franklin holds a record of 3-0, while his opponent comes in 15-0, except there’s one big difference, Franklin’s fights have all come in Bellator, and President Scott Coker has paid him high praise already. Following his victory at Bellator 259, a first-round knockout of veteran Tyler King, Coker took to Twitter to tout Davion Franklin as one of the best heavyweight prospects in the world, and it’s hard to disagree. — Scott Coker (@ScottCoker) May 21, 2021 With two first-round finishes and a unanimous decision victory to his credit, Franklin is showing he’s ready for whatever comes his way. His quick rise into the spotlight, and Bellator rankings, can certainly be credited to his time in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he trains at JacksonWink MMA. A recipient of the MataLeon Management, JacksonWink scholarship, Franklin’s team has provided him the resources where his sole focus is to show up, train, and perform on fight night. Mission accomplished so far. Ahead of his fourth professional fight, Davion Franklin spoke with MyMMANews about his career trajectory, why he’s only competing against himself in his fights, and how he plans to change the landscape in the heavyweight division. With such legendary names that have been not only at JacksonWink MMA but also in the talk among greats at the heavyweight division, Franklin makes it clear, he only wants to be himself. “I’m not trying to be the next Jon Jones, I’m not trying to be the next Alistair [Overeem], or the next nobody. I’m trying to be the first Davion, the only Davion. There’s a method to my madness and I feel I’m different than anyone else that has ever been seen in this division.” Hearing a compliment from the boss and promoter Scott Coker is one thing, and for some, it could get to their head, but for Davion Franklin, it was a moment of validation. “It just solidified everything that I already thought of myself. That’s what that was. It was more like ‘I know I’m not crazy to be thinking this about myself’ for him to say that, I can’t be crazy. I’ve been saying this, I know what I’m capable of.” Not to be mistaken for arrogance, there’s a confidence from Franklin that can’t be taken away from him, and because of that, he’s been able to go through WWE tryouts, spend some time in football, and now in MMA, it’s all coming together. “I always knew I had the ability to be a really, really great athlete. I’ve always had that belief that I was going to be great, and I just had to pick what I wanted to be great, I just needed to pick what I wanted to be great at, and I just needed to put some hard work behind that talent. It also comes from people laughing at me when I would say I’m going to be the first millionaire in my family, and people would be laughing at me and telling me I’m pipedreaming. It comes from me being the only person who believed in me, and I became my own biggest fan.” His next opponent, Everett Cummings, has a record of 15-0 and while nothing is taken away from an opponent with a resume of that stature, Franklin insists, he’s competing against himself inside the cage, not Cummings. “No disrespect to him, but who has he beat? The other thing is, I’m not preparing for him, he has to prepare for me. He has 9 submission finishes, he has 6 TKO finishes, meaning he likes to go to the ground. You know how I am on the ground, he doesn’t like to stand up, I’m looking to put on a showcase.” When the smoke clears and Bellator 264 concludes, if all goes according to plan for Franklin, he’ll continue on his path of being a game-changer in the heavyweight division, and in Bellator. “I’m going to change the game. Changing the game to me is a guy who comes out of nowhere, who comes out of the abyss and takes over the show. I don’t only want to win. I want to win in dominant fashion. That’s my purpose. It’s not just to be the greatest or be the best, I want to be able to look at my highlight reel and get goosebumps, me, myself. I’m competing against myself. Every performance I want to get better and better and outdo myself from the last time I was out there.” Davion Franklin has never been handed anything in life, he has taken the road less traveled to get where he is so far in his MMA career, and even that road has chewed up and spit out plenty of talented people throughout time. But as someone who grew up in bad areas around Chicago, Illinois, Franklin knows, every single fight can change his life, and for a life that has seen more tragedy and chaos than most, he’s not going back to that. There’s no disrespect to any opponent who stands in front of him, but the message is clear, Davion Franklin has goals and the path has been set for him to get there. Opponents are no longer roadblocks, they’re checkpoints because the journey won’t stop until “All Day” has changed his life, his career, and MMA’s heavyweight division for good. Complete interview with Davion Franklin below:
For many years I have been getting on soapboxes at conferences and in keynotes stating that “the project profession” is waking up to sustainability but is not paying enough attention to bio-diversity. If we could put in place regenerative practices, we could address many issues, including the climate crisis. Biodiversity loss is one of humanity’s most pressing environmental issues. The main threats to biodiversity include habitat destruction, over-harvesting, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species. Habitat destruction caused by human activities such as logging, mining, and unsustainable agricultural practices has been the leading cause of biodiversity degradation. As land is cleared for these activities and topsoil is infused with deadly chemicals (cough cough Monsanto), species are forced out of their homes as their habitats are destroyed, and they can no longer survive in their natural environments. This has devastatingly affected species’ populations worldwide and is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity in the next ten years. Also, the overharvesting of animals for food or other purposes is a major driver of biodiversity loss. When more animals are taken from their environment than can be replaced through reproduction, this leads to a decline in population size, damaging ecosystems as entire species become threatened with extinction or go extinct altogether. In addition, overfishing of aquatic ecosystems poses an additional threat to biodiversity since it removes essential nutrients from water bodies that help sustain other forms of life. In 2022 alone, 7 animals went extinct. Check out the list here. We can no longer behave as though we rule nature. We must accept that we are all interconnected and function as a steward for preservation. Our continued release of pollutants into air and water systems impacts local wildlife populations by reducing oxygen levels or contaminating food sources which can have devastating effects on entire ecosystems. Given this complex situation it’s important that we come up with ways to combat these threats if we want future generations to enjoy our planet’s abundance. What do we focus on climate change or biodiversity loss? The answer is both. Biodiversity loss and climate change are inextricably linked, with each exacerbating the other. Fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming and climate change while deforestation and everything else I shared earlier is caused by human actions and directly reduces biodiversity, has a significant impact on our climate. By disturbing natural habitats we reduce their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and therefore increase its concentration. Conversely, climate change leads to more extreme weather events such as heatwaves, drought or floods which further threaten biodiversity due to their ability to disrupt or damage ecosystems. We must strive for effective conservation strategies and sustainable human activities if we are to preserve both biodiversity and our planet’s future. It is much easier most people wrap our collective heads around direct impacts to bio-diversity than to understand how our work impacts climate change because we can see the effects immediately. Question for you the reader: have heard of the COP System and know where one of the last one was held? If I said Montreal was the last one you might scratch your head and say “huh?” There is more than one COP and the climate conference gets all the attention. That is part of the problem. The climate COP has become the equivalence of Davos. Meanwhile the Biodiversity COP gets no love, which is unfortunate. Take a look at the Nine Planetary Boundaries. The nine planetary boundaries are: climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, ocean acidification, land-use and freshwater use changes, nitrogen and phosphorous inputs to the biosphere and oceans, biogeochemical flows (such as phosphorus and nitrogen cycles), novel entities (including chemical pollution and microplastics), aerosol loading and biodiversity loss. These boundaries were identified by a team of international scientists in 2009 as essential for humanity’s survival on Earth. Crossing any of these boundaries could lead to serious long-term consequences and so scientists recommend avoiding reaching them at all costs. The green circle in the middle of the picture below is acceptable boundaries. Climate Change is one boundary that we have gone beyond acceptable limits on. Biosphere integrity however…. We have gone way beyond acceptable limits. For more visit the Stockholm Resilience Center. OK, now what? Projects Projects Projects! Projects present us with an opportunity when it comes to finding solutions for global biodiversity problems since they provide a framework for action while also offering opportunities for innovation and helping build capacity in local communities so everyone can benefit from successful initiatives like protected areas programs or sustainable agriculture practices. Here are three simple reasons why projects are so important when it comes to solving global problems surrounding endangered wildlife and habitats: Projects provide a framework for taking action on specific issues related to conservation efforts. Increasing numbers of endangered species or restoring vital habitats like coral reefs while also bringing together stakeholders from different backgrounds who may not ordinarily interact with each other allowing us to explore new ideas and approaches that may not have been considered before. By creating a roadmap outlining clear goals that all participants must agree upon we know everyone is working towards the same outcome giving us a greater chance at achieving success. Projects encourage innovation. Leveraging diverse groups of people from different sectors allow us to examine complex ecological issues from different angles coming up with creative solutions that would otherwise be overlooked. For example bringing together business owners, policy makers, researchers, local community members etc will enable us to apply different skillsets resulting in more effective strategies being implemented. Projects help build capacity for local communities. Provide opportunities to develop sustainable methods to manage resources while also increasing economic benefits through launching eco-tourism schemes or sustainable agricultural practices. These types of initiatives allow locals to gain livelihood directly related to protecting wildlife ensuring sustainability long term goal ultimately benefiting everyone involved. Taking steps towards preserving our planet’s precious biodiversity doesn’t have to be daunting task thanks tools available, such as our P5 Standard, P5 Impact Analysis, and Sustainability Management Plan). What specific practices do we at GPM recommend? Here is a sneak peak to some of the guidance in the new P5 Standard 3.0 for Biodiversity. - Work to achieve a net positive impact (NPI) by ensuring that any negative impacts from the project are outweighed by biodiversity gains. - Incorporating data-driven strategies for monitoring resource usage and predicting sustainable trends in natural ecosystems. - Establish living systems and regenerative land management practices to promote sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, and support the diversity of species. - Utilize integrated pest management techniques that prioritize natural predators over chemical pesticides to protect beneficial species, biodiversity, and human health. - Develop strategies for preserving habitat and species through specific protection measures, such as national parks, reserves, corridors, and conservation easements. - Take action to mitigate climate change by transitioning to renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuels, and restoring natural ecosystems for carbon sequestration purposes. - Implement collaborative approaches between local communities, corporations, academic institutions, and other stakeholders with a focus on advancing regenerative development goals for sustainable development initiatives & biodiversity conservation efforts. Protection of biological diversity helps to achieve the following sustainable project outcomes: - Healthy ecosystems that protect food, fiber, medicines, and other potential resources. - Future access to land and other natural resources. - Improved reputation among regulators and within the communities that the project affects. - Continued availability of ecosystem services such as atmospheric regulation, nutrient cycling, and pollination.

Consumers Worldwide Will Soon Have New Tool for Finding Safe Internet Pharmacies As the registry operator of the new .pharmacy domain, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®), under a contract with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), will soon provide a means for identifying safe online pharmacies and resources. Under the Association’s Registry Agreement, executed with ICANN on June 19, 2014, the new .pharmacy generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) will be available only to legitimate online pharmacies and related entities located in the United States or other countries. The Registry Agreement also includes a number of safeguards intended to protect consumers around the world. NABP plans to launch the .pharmacy gTLD by fall 2014, and is currently operationalizing policies to ensure that only legitimate website operators that adhere to pharmacy laws in the jurisdictions in which they are based and to which they sell medicine will be able to register domain names in .pharmacy. These eligibility requirements for the .pharmacy gTLD were developed in partnership with a global coalition of stakeholders and address a shared concern about illegal online drug sellers distributing products that endanger patient health worldwide. “Amidst a proliferation of rogue websites selling counterfeit and substandard drug products, the .pharmacy domain will give consumers an easy way to be assured that they are using a safe, legitimate Internet pharmacy,” states NABP President Joseph L. Adams, RPh. “Toward this goal, NABP is very pleased to become an official registry operator under the agreement with ICANN and to be moving forward with steps to launch the new .pharmacy gTLD.” The next step for the .pharmacy gTLD is the registry onboarding process, which includes performance of pre-delegation testing to ensure that NABP and its technical partners have the capacity to operate the new .pharmacy gTLD in a stable and secure manner. Additionally, as the registry operator, NABP will contract with registrars that agree to ensure domain name registrants are in compliance with the established .pharmacy standards. NABP has been working toward completion of these steps since May 2013 when the .pharmacy proposal passed ICANN’s initial evaluation. The Association has also launched an informational website, www.dotpharmacy.net, which includes program updates and a request-for-information form for entities seeking a .pharmacy gTLD. Application instructions for entities seeking a .pharmacy gTLD will be included on the site to coincide with the launch. In July 2014, NABP will convene a meeting of the .pharmacy gTLD advisory committee to discuss implementation of the program standards and to continue fostering collaborative international partnerships. NABP continues to monitor websites selling prescription drugs to patients in the US and, as of June 2014, has reviewed over 10,790 Internet drug outlets and found 97% of them to be out of compliance with pharmacy laws and practice standards established in the US to protect the public health. Of the 10,432 websites identified as Not Recommended, nearly half offer foreign or non-Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs, many of which may be dangerous counterfeits, to unsuspecting US patients. Further, health and regulatory agencies in the US and abroad have reported cases of patients harmed by counterfeit, substandard, and adulterated medications distributed by illegal Internet sellers. Among the global coalition of stakeholders behind the .pharmacy initiative are the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies, Eli Lilly and Company, European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines, FDA, Gilead Sciences, Inc, International Pharmaceutical Federation, INTERPOL, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc, LegitScript, Merck/MSD, National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities, Pfizer, and state boards of pharmacy. For more information about NABP and the .Pharmacy gTLD Program, visit www.dotpharmacy.net. NABP is the independent, international, and impartial Association that assists its state member boards and jurisdictions for the purpose of protecting the public health.
What is a Sore Throat? A skin ulcer, which is in many cases called a bubble, is a knock that structures when discharge gathers inside the tissue of the body. A boil can appear on any spot of the body, and generally is innocuous. Normal regions incorporate your armpit, base of your spine, crotch, rear-end, or tooth. An Abscess can be excruciating and warm to the touch. Individuals who have more fragile invulnerable frameworks will generally get these a larger number of frequently than others. A skin sore is somewhat not quite the same as a canker. They are as yet a shut pocket of tissue, however, might be loaded up with liquid, discharge, or other material. These can likewise appear anyplace on the body, however, are regularly sluggish developing, and effortless. Skin pimples are normally portrayed as feeling like enormous peas under the skin. Causes & Treatment What causes abscesses or cysts? Skin abscesses are brought about by the fiery reaction to an irresistible cycle, normally microorganisms entering the skin. This can occur as the aftereffect of the deterrent of sweat or oil organs, an exciting hair follicle, or a minor cut of the skin. The fiery reaction sets off the development of a hole to contain the contamination and keep it from going to different pieces of the body. The inside of the canker then condenses making discharge and limited enlarging create. This How are abscesses and cysts treated? Despite the fact that skin blisters cause no aggravation except if they crack or become tainted, they will not vanish without treatment. Sometimes, they might require waste similar to a canker, yet this won’t fix the growth. On the off chance that it is aggravated, a cortisone infusion might be utilized to shrivel it. On the off chance that the growth isn’t answering treatment or constantly repeats, medical procedures might be expected to eliminate it and forestall further issues.
By Terry Harding, Senior Vice President As read on Western Investor’s 2019 Investor’s Guide to Western Investing Low loan-to-value ratios and cap rates keep Metro rental apartments a long-horizon strategy The multi-family market is generally seen as one of the safest real estate investment vehicles available, often considered the bond of real estate. A multi-family investment is often viewed as a type of recession-proof pension. When the real estate market slows down, apartments traditionally resist price corrections. The main criteria are that rents remain constant or do not decrease in any significant way. Residential rental property is valued on net income. The majority of Metro Vancouver purchasers arrange mortgages with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. insurance, due to the very attractive interest rates being offered. These are usually 1 per cent over bond rates, which is currently around 3 per cent. When purchasing a building showing a 3.5 per cent capitalization rate, the positive leverage of 0.5 per cent usually entices buyers. While attractive, the low rates come with a few strings attached, one being high mortgage insurance fees, but the most significant factor is the very low mortgage amount the buildings will support. We recently sold a building in Kitsilano, which is considered among the premium rental markets in Canada. When the purchaser arranged a mortgage on the building the largest loan he could get was for less than $3 million. With a purchase price of $10.5 million, plus closing costs and taxes of approximately $500,000, this made a loan-to-value ratio of only 27 per cent. This is quite normal in Vancouver’s west side, while in other areas of Metro Vancouver it is unusual to get a loan-to-value of more than 50 per cent of the purchase price. This has limited the market activity as most investors need to either refinance another property or cross-collateralize with another of their buildings. This often makes it onerous for investors, due to the low capitalization rates being offered. With the B.C. government’s recent changes to the rental increase amounts, plus recent increases in taxation, investors are looking to purchase with longer time horizons. Most sellers recognize that the market is slowing down. This opens opportunities for buyers. Previously most offers needed to be made with no subjects or a very short timeline. This has all changed in the last few months with offers now being made with reasonable subject periods and, more often than not, longer closing times. This allows financing to be shopped for and secured at more favourable rates, and allows more planning on how to improve a building and its cash flow. While B.C.’s allowable annual rent increases are very low – 2.5 per cent in 2019 – most owners expect that they will get their needed return upon a tenant moving out. Lately the term “renoviction” is making headlines. This method of improving a building and raising rents to market level is also getting a lot of government scrutiny. While it is allowed within the Residential Tenancy Act, many municipalities are trying to shut this activity down. This creates a very good buying opportunity if the building has been improved and the rents are at market. It allows much higher loan-to-value ratios, often 65 per cent to 70 per cent. It also takes out the waiting for tenants with low rent to move out so the unit can be improved and the rent increased. The cap rates on these types of buildings will generally be 0.5 per cent higher than on a non-upgraded building. These buildings also require lower maintenance costs in comparison with non-renovated property. The government should be supporting the groups doing these improvements. When done properly, they can be a win for the existing tenant, who can negotiate a bonus incentive to move out, plus a free month of rent. Bare trust option Another opportunity to purchase a building is as a bare trust. This allows the buyer to purchase the company that owns the asset and not have to pay the property purchase tax. The savings can be significant and should always be considered. The savings to the buyers can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If there is anything that limits our interactions with the environment the most, it is our insecurities. Almost everyone has one or more things about them that they do not want their neighbour or others generally to know or find out about them. This is different from the normal secrets you keep. Insecurities are special secrets you keep because of the way they make you feel or because of the shame they bring. Like a broken tooth or a missing finger, we often feel uncomfortable when people see them and ignorantly begin to ask about how it happened. While the major forms of insecurities are physical like being the tallest in the room with other people of moderate height or having a part of your face covered in freckles, some can be mental feelings like being always broke or considering yourself less attractive amidst your peers. When you allow yourself to be overwhelmed by your insecurities, your confidence and quality of life generally will surely suffer setbacks. Below are six simple ways to boost your confidence and deal with your insecurities Speaking Positively to Yourself: The feeling that comes with having insecurities can often be an overwhelming stream of negative emotions. To be able to stay above this feeling, you must think of what you could achieve by putting these insecurities aside and begin to speak more positively of yourself. Think of your ability or talent, or more of the good things you have in your life rather than hiding yourself away in self-pity. So, when you are faced with the reflection of that embarrassing freckles on your face, for instance, uplift your mind and thoughts with how gorgeous your bright eyes look or how elegantly your hair flows down your shoulders. Recognise Your Weaknesses as Your Strengths: Another step to overcoming the negative feelings attached to your insecurity is recognising and admitting it to yourself. There are even famous personalities who have managed to convert what was supposed to be their insecurity to their great strengths. One such personality is American singer Lizzo, who despite her plus size, wears only what makes her comfortable to her concerts and performances. You can also begin to channel your inner energy into making your weakness into your driving force. Practice Everyday Mindfulness: There is so much to live for than constantly reminding yourself of your insecurities. You must be mindful of what you say to yourself and how you even think about it. Remember that everyone has a shortcoming. You may only know when they tell you. Be mindful of the people you talk to. And the kind of company you keep should not be the kind that uses your insecurities as weapons against you during slight disagreements. Focus on What Your Body Can Do: If your insecurity is physical such as a part of your body, you may want to invest more of your time into discovering other things your body can do better. Look into your talent, your strength and the resilience of your body. Do things that make you feel good. This is where you shift focus away from the scale and instead of letting the numbers on it dictate your mood, accept it and make your well-being a higher priority. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: You may often need help at some point, like if you need to hit the gym for some physical activities. You may need friends around as it is more fun. Therefore, surround yourself with positive people. And learn to share some of your worries with the people you trust. This way you do not feel disconnected from the world around you. Limit Your Exposure to Unrealistic Standards: One of the most misleading places to get a good living standard for your life is social media. You should be conscious of how the things you see on the various social media platforms influence your daily reality. If you are deliberate about maintaining a positive state of mind as regards your insecurities, it will do you a greater good to mute or unfollow accounts that make you feel less of yourself in terms of beauty or handsomeness or living some kind of life on social media.
Patterns of speech may be telltales of particular symptoms DIAGNOSING MENTAL illness is difficult. Giving broad names such as “schizophrenia” and “bipolar disorder” to particular sets of symptoms helps psychiatrists and patients discuss and treat what is going on, but many traits are symptomatic of more than one such named condition, giving plenty of scope for mislabelling. Moreover, the specialised interviews required to detect the presence of particular traits are time-consuming and require specific training to conduct. A shortcut to reliable psychiatric diagnoses would therefore be desirable. Justin Baker, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, and Louis-Philippe Morency, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, think they have one. As they told the International Conference on Multimodal Interaction in Boulder, Colorado, on October 19th, they believe they can extract a lot of relevant information from patients’ speech patterns. Rather than tackle all mental illness at once, Dr Baker and Dr Morency focused on psychosis. This is the experience by a patient of hallucinations or delusions—in other words of a “reality” at variance with the general consensus of other people. Psychosis is particularly symptomatic of schizophrenia, but is also common in bipolar disorder. And it is, in turn, capable of division into traits of its own, such as impulsive hostility, emotional withdrawal, conceptual disorganisation and delusions of grandeur. These can be used to refine an initial diagnosis of a broader condition. To test the idea that patterns of word use might help diagnose such traits, Dr Baker and Dr Morency let their computers loose on transcripts of 53 interviews with 28 psychotic patients at the McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. These were people who had been studied thoroughly by conventional psychiatric techniques. They had therefore had their specific psychotic traits classified. And patterns the two researchers did indeed find. For example, patients who commonly used power-related words like “important”, “superiority” and “exploit” generally turned out to have the traits of delusions and grandiosity. Conversely, there was an inverse correlation between patients’ use of words relating to time and space, such as “yesterday”, “lately” and “nearby”, and the trait of poor reality monitoring. Those who rarely or never used these words showed significant detachment from reality. In addition to these specific correlations, the overall severity of a patient’s psychosis, regardless of the detailed pattern of traits, appeared to correlate with his use of emotionally loaded words. The absence of positive words in a transcript, and a preponderance of negative ones, such as “gloomy”, “dark” and “sadly”, was characteristic of those whose psychotic disorder was severe. Nor was frequency of word use the only signal that Dr Baker and Dr Morency’s computers picked up. They also noticed patterns in phenomena called sentence repair and language perplexity. Everyone repairs sentences from time to time during conversations, saying things like “John likes, I mean, loves Mary.” But constant repairing is rare in the mentally healthy. Dr Baker and Dr Morency, however, found it common in patients who had the psychotic traits of apathy, avolition and defensiveness. Language perplexity is a measure of how easy it is, partway through a sentence, to guess what is coming next. The harder it is to do this for a given individual’s speech, the more perplexing is his language. And the more perplexing a psychotic patient’s language is, Dr Baker and Dr Morency discovered, the more likely it is that his particular traits include excitement and conceptual disorganisation. The study Dr Baker and Dr Morency have carried out is small, and so will need confirmation using larger groups of patients. But if that confirmation comes, it will give psychiatrists a new diagnostic tool. And it is a tool that might eventually be applied to areas other than psychosis. Dementia and Parkinson’s disease, too, are thought to shape speech in subtle ways as they begin to develop. The Baker-Morency approach might thus permit earlier diagnosis of these conditions as well.

What it takes to make a difference in the quality of storytelling generated by artificial intelligence (and humans) Over the past couple of months, I’ve found myself gravitating more and more towards Bluesky, a new social network built around the network’s protocols, rather than the company who built the network. With the demise of X/Twitter and any semblance of its usefulness to my work, I find the quality of conversation on Bluesky more suited to my demeanor. One recent conversation kicked off around the idea of being able to train an AI on the subtext of a story, rather than the story itself. This ability is the key to Subtxt’s advantage over every other creative writing AI system out there. Training on the text of a story is guaranteed to fail every time--as its the message behind the words that we strive for as audience members (and as authors), not the vectorized embeddings of the words themselves. You can train an AI on the underlying meaning of a work (subtext), rather than the work itself. Once you separate storytelling from narrative intent, you can focus on the latter and help authors better understand what it is they’re trying to say. The way an AI works is it takes a word and attaches it to a number then it calculates the probability of what numbers are most likely to go next to each other. That's all it's doing. It's telling you what words are statistically likely to be next to each other, then adjusting the stats Remember the other day when ChatGP "went mad"? It was because the number generator was slightly off so it was putting the wrong numbers in the sequence and thus generating nonsense words. The current model of AI are number generators, that's all. There's no subtext in AI writing. What there is is the chance to analyze broad strokes patterns, which might be interesting in many fields but isn't useful to writers. Just because your words match a pattern doesn't mean you're communicating well. Writing to match the pattern is a good way to be boring. I wasn't referring to pattern matching. The order of events in a story, regardless of how they're expressed, carries meaning. A slap followed by a scream means something different than a scream followed by a slap. You can train an AI on that underlying meaning, and that is helpful to writers. But you can't though, at least not with how AI currently works. What you can do is feed a lot of text into it and find out which one people write more often. AI can't distinguish meaning. It can only generate text based on probability based on what texts you used to train it. If you have a narrative framework specifically built around the meaning of a text rather than the text itself, then yes you can have an AI that distinguishes that meaning. I've already built it and its currently identifying the subtext of thousands of different stories. Yeah I confess to confusion. The meaning of a text is communicated by the text and you can't really separate it. In some regards the "meaning" of text is always going to be up to reader interpretation to begin with. So how any AI, even AGI, could codify it is beyond me. It kind of reminds me of how my a pair of english teachers at my high school would teach texts. Like the entirety of meaning was stuff like "the ducks Holden Caulfield feeds represent childhood" and that boiled down to them wanting an excuse to fail kids they didn't like personally. You can always extricate storytelling from storyform (the underlying meaning, or argument of a story). _West Side Story/Romeo & Juliet _are best example. Different words, same story. Braveheart/Gladiator are another: headstrong warrior convinces politician to take action for country's future. That's because genre is also a kind of category imposed by readers on the text from outside. It comes from outside experience and can influence how a writer works but you're not going to extract it from the text. Nothing fits perfectly into a genre because ideas about genre change but text stays Genre isn't the same thing as meaning but they are both products of reader interpretation. No idea how you'd train an AI to recognize them and even if you could it wouldn't be helpful because again those ideas tend to change a lot over time If you see Genre more as an indicator of various areas of conflict/inequity rather than drop-downs in Netflix (Comedy, Action/Adventure, etc.) you can start to build a mental model of narrative exploration through each (e.g., Slasher Horror on physical conflict, Psch Horror on psych conflict) So you know how AI works? It records things and then reproduces them based on probability. You can modify those probabilities but the patterns AI picks out aren't the same thing as meaning. AI generates text by using it's training set to predict what set of words is likely to follow the previous set When you claim to train an AI on meaning I don't know what you mean because that's not actually possible. You can train it to produce some words more than other words but that's pretty much the extent of it. AI can't think for itself, it can only reproduce what its shown based on statistics. Yes, I know how AI works (intimately). I’m not talking about training on the meaning of text embeddings, but rather the underlying message the author communicates with their story (their argument/purpose/intent). Training on former, I agree, will always get you garbage. How? Like are you deciding what an author means writing it out and then feeding it into the AI? What do you do about disparate interpretations of texts? If EL James screams "No rape in 50 Shades read the book!" at rape survivors do you take her word for it? No, that would be too subjective. If you model narrative to include an objective POV to measure the subjectivity, you base the meaning on the story’s exploration of resolving inequity (conflict). With that context an AI can “read” a text and suss out the underlying argument (i.e., message). There's no such thing as an objective POV to measure subjectivity. Most writing doesn't have an "argument". It has elements that people can analyze and take ideas from but different people are going to see them totally differently. Your AI is reading a thing that doesn't exist I think you're doing the grammar check thing I tried to point out to the previous guy. You're trying to define an absolute meaning (arbitrarily honestly) and telling people who use your app that it's the only truth because you used a scientific model (that you can't explain) By definition there can be no subjectivity without objectivity (two sides of the same coin and all that). And yes, my POV presumes author’s intent to argue the appropriateness of various paths towards resolving conflict. Most stories are built this way whether author knows it or not.

In the early hours of Thursday, March 14, 2024, there was a nationwide outages on multiple networks in 12 African countries, including Nigeria. The affected undersea cables were the West Africa Cable System (WACS), the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE), MainOne, and SAT3, which negatively impacted data and fixed telecom services in several countries of West Africa, notably Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire and far beyond to eastern and southern Africa. This led to internet disruption in major sectors of the economy. Nigeria has been counting its costs in the multiple billions of naira lost from the downtime caused by the damage to major submarine cables in both the Red Sea and the West African coast. For instance, NetBlocks, the watchdog that monitors cybersecurity and the governance of the internet estimates that Nigeria may have lost over N273 billion in the four days between March 14 to March 17. Restoration Of Network It will take six to eight weeks, for network to fully restore, according to information released by MainOne. The digital infrastructure company, who gave a revised schedule in an update on Monday, cited the scope of the damage for the new date. It mentioned that the necessary spares had already been carried onto the repair vessel. The company added, “To expedite the repair of our submarine cable, we are actively working with our maintenance partners, vessel owners, and permitting authorities. We have high hopes that the planned repairs to our cable will be completed and that services will be fully restored.” Plans To Prevent Future Internet Disruption To prevent future disruption in Africa, the CEO, WIOCC, Chris Wood, said it will cost Africa $1 billion to lay new cable from South Africa to Europe, connecting multiple countries, including Nigeria. Though the $1 billion is needed to build resilience and prevent future internet disruption in Africa, Wood however lamented that it is very expensive. “It is very expensive to build a new cable from South Africa to Europe, connecting multiple countries. It would be approximately a billion dollars, which is a lot. So it’s not a simple thing to say or do. Someone has to pay that billion dollars. There has to be a commercial justification for spending that kind of money, and it also takes a long time to design and build these cables. The time spent to gather the $1 billion, and then design and build a cable is almost a 10 year process. It’s not a one or two years process,” he explained. He disclosed that WIOCC is planning two Africa cable landing in multiple countries, with multiple landings in Nigeria, to provide an added layer of resilience, while urging all operators to utilise all of the cables, to prevent future disruption. “Resilience is only there if people use multiple systems to create that network resilience for themselves,” he stated. On total restoration of network, Wood said restoration will take weeks, starting from today. “We have activated over 100 circuits in just the space of a week or 10 days in terms of the timeline to get it back to normal. The impact on the Internet in Nigeria should be coming back to normal now. “We need to mobilise ships. I think there are three ships that have been mobilised to repair the four cables. The ships are now starting to head towards the affected area and they will then locate the cable cuts and repair them. This process depends on the weather as well. They can’t operate in stormy seas, it could take a little longer,” he revealed. Wood posited that it will cost millions of dollars to fix the damaged cables. “It’s not a few $100,000. It’s a number of millions of dollars, maybe $2,000,000 per cable, depending on how long it takes the ships to find the cables and repair them and those costs are borne by the cable owners themselves,” he added. In the same vein, Nigeria’s minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has disclosed that protecting underwater cables and other digital infrastructure is the subject of discussions between the government and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), as part of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to improve the quality of telecommunications services across the country. However, Tijani voiced his hope about the complete restoration of telecom services in the nation based on his discussions regarding the damaged underwater cables with ITU deputy secretary-general Tomas Lamanauskas in Geneva. Tijani made this disclosure via his verified social media account. The post reads, “Following the recent cuts to submarine cables off the coast of West Africa, I spoke about my desire to initiate dialogue on building resilience in our digital infrastructure. So, I was pleased to meet with the deputy secretary general of the ITU, in Geneva, Tomas Lamanauskas, to kickstart action on organising regional and global efforts for the protection of submarine cables and other digital infrastructure. “The deputy secretary-general and I discussed the review of global laws with relevant government and private sector stakeholders to ensure the enhancement of global digital resilience plans. We also spoke about building investment models for expanding Broadband penetration on a global scale, with Nigeria’s Broadband Alliance and Fibre fund as potential case studies for other global markets. “As an immediate action point, we will be engaging African countries and partners at a stakeholder round-table in Abuja, to chart a path towards building resilience in our digital infrastructure, which remains a critical backbone for national development.” The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) had notified consumers that Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) were gradually working to fully restore telecommunications voice and data services. To prevent further internet in the future, the executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida has called for a coordinated and multilateral approach by the West African region to protect shared telecommunications infrastructure, and diversify connectivity to ensure uninterruptible connections. According to Maida, “Securing telecom infrastructure is paramount for fostering Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and enhancing investor confidence in the West African sub-region. The reliability and resilience of telecommunications networks are crucial factors that investors consider when evaluating regional opportunities. “By ensuring the security of these vital assets, we can attract more investment, spur economic growth, and enhance our competitiveness on the global stage. A secure telecoms infrastructure not only facilitates efficient communication and connectivity but also signals a commitment to safeguarding critical assets essential for business operations. This assurance can significantly boost investor confidence and create a conducive environment for sustainable economic development. “The impact of events like cable cuts highlights the need for a coordinated, multilateral approach to protecting shared infrastructure across our member nations.” Maida therefore, proposed the urgent need to set up a framework for joint monitoring, risk mitigation, and emergency response procedures for the submarine cables that pass through the sub-region. “Further to this, we recommend that the WATRA Working Group on Infrastructure expand its mandate to spearhead the development of a comprehensive strategy to safeguard the subregion’s telecommunications networks and associated infrastructure thereby proactively bolstering resilience through improved disaster response protocols to better insulate ourselves from future disruptions,”he said. He advised that the goals of the Working Group would be to strengthen sub-regional infrastructure resilience, promote the diversification of the sub-region’s connectivity, conduct regular capacity assessments, as well as facilitate the designation of telecommunications infrastructure as critical national infrastructure in member countries.
EU-UN Spotlight Initiative and National Orientation Agency(NOA) Friday took the campaign on violence against children and women to the popular Eke-Imoha market in Ezza South local government area of Ebonyi State. The community-based road show/rally aimed to raise awareness on the need to report issues about violence against children, violence against women and girls, and gender-based in their various groups in seven selected local governments in the state started from Onueke to the market down to the five communities in the council area. The program was organized by the National Orientation Agency in the state with support from the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative. Speaking to Journalists Unah Uchenna, the Programme Officer National Orientation Agency, Ebonyi State, and UNICEF Desk Officer in the agency said that they have discovered that Violence Against Women and Girls(VAWG) was very rampant in seven out of 13 Local Government Areas in Ebonyi State. Among the local government areas include Ohaukwu, Ohaozara, Onicha, Abakaliki, Ezza South, and Afikpo North. Unah disclosed that violence against children, women, and girls was still rampant in the seven local governments despite several campaigns against the menace. “On Tuesday during our road show in one of the seven local governments, we saw many children on the street, hawking on school hours, that is, between 9 am and 11 am. So. the problem is still with us and we are doing everything possible to ensure that these problems are eradicated in our society”, he stated. He explained that NOA and EU-UN Spotlight Initiative have reached out to millions of people to encourage them on how to report violence against children women and girls in their communities; how to handle the violence issues and how to proffer solutions to the problem and help the victim. “We spoke to the people on how to report any form of violence against children, women, and girls in real time not waiting for some days, weeks, months before reporting it because this is one of the problems we have in the fight against this menace. “We also talked to them on how to own up to the program because if a community takes up a program like Violence Against Children, women and girls before reaching out to partners like the Ministry of Women Affairs, national orientation agency, ministry of Justice and others that are working in that field”, he said. Mrs. Ujebe Nneka, from the Ezzama community who is one of the surveillance teams of NOA and EU-UN in the fight against GBV in the area, urged the people of the local government to report any form of violence against women, children, and girls to the relevant authorities on time. “We have come to advocate to the people to report any form of violence against women and girls in the community. There is a need to report any form of GBV in our area. The community members should stop child labor, and child hawking, stop child marriage because they are minors they don’t know what they are doing, stop wife battering, and rape is not allowed, allow widows to inherit their husbands’ properties, and give them land to farm”.

Government needs to be more closely involved Ottawa-Canada’s supply chains must become more efficient at moving products and the government needs to better understand how its policies impact the shipping of goods across the country, says Ron Lemaire, President of the Canadian Produce Marketing Association. The Canada Border Services Agency must make certain the national supply chain system is working and focus on problems that shippers face moving goods in and out of the country, he said during a panel discussion at the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Farmers and many others need to be able to receive quick access to information on problems affecting supply chain operations, he said. Problems at the international levels need to be identified and dealt with as well. “Governments need to understand the chains function as part of business and how we are looking at making the system work better.” Misaligned federal rules do not help with reducing costs. “We need to get the various departments involved to work together more closely on this. Ownership of the issue is not in any one department.” Michael Graydon, CEO of Food, Health and Consumer Products of Canada, said the supply chains need to have traceability and predictability and the regulatory system should make sure they do. The railways should invest in freeing up bottlenecks in their networks. “We need netter coordination in the supply chains, Graydon said. The government has to have the tools to make the supply chains function. Marc Brazeau, President and CEO of the Railway Association of Canada, said railway freight rates in Canada are below the global average. CN and CPKC have worked on supply chain problems and invested in beefing up their networks. “We need to keep supplying the world.” Better co-ordination within the supply chains would benefit the railways. The government must have the tools to make the supply chains function the way they should, he said. A lot of port fees have increased “but anything we can do to move more traffic through our systems the better.” Arun Thangaraj, deputy federal transport minister, said his department has been working on supply chain issues since 2020. The supply chains stretch over distances few countries face. There are no control points within the federal government for dealing with supply chain problems. “To deal with them, we have to take a close look at all the supply chain pressures. “We learned a lot of things how they work. It became clear that a national supply chain strategy was needed. Making it sustainable is important. We need more work with the the Great Lakes and the Seaway.” This news item was prepared for National Newswatch

Golf is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. Hitting a golf ball is not as difficult as many people believe. There are a few simple tips that can help anyone hit a golf ball with more accuracy and power. Any good golfing tips article will start with the proper form. Hitting the ball starts with a good stance, so make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart and your weight is evenly distributed. If you’re a beginner, try to keep your head down and your eyes on the ball. When you’re ready to hit the ball, take a deep breath and swing your club back until it’s parallel to the ground. In the game of golf, hitting the ball is key to success. There are many different ways to hit a golf ball, and each has its benefits and drawbacks. In this article, we’ll explore some of the 4 ways to hit a golf ball and help you choose the best method for your game. 4 Ways to Hit A Golf Ball - Take proper swing steps - Learn basic swing and master on it - Take different types of shot - Choose the right golf club Take Proper Swing Steps Hold your golf club with a natural and secure grip To properly hold a golf club, one must first understand the different parts of the club. The grip is the part of the club that you hold onto, and it is important to make sure that your grip is comfortable and secure. The shaft is the long part of the club that extends from the grip to the head, and it is important to make sure that you have a good grip on the shaft to swing the club effectively. Your upper arm should curl under the end of the club. Place your lower hand just below the upper hand. Place your hand in the crease between the palm and fingers, not between the palms. Grip the club with maximum pressure with the fingers of your bottom hand. Additionally, your index finger will grip the club with maximum pressure. Grip the club tightly enough to keep it secure in your hand without any tension. Keep your hands about a fist or fist and a half away from the thighs. Bent your knees slightly stand with your feet shoulder-width apart Place your non-leading foot close to the target, the back foot perpendicular to the target, and the toes pointed toward the target. Keep your weight on both feet and center the force between the legs. The ball should be far enough away from your feet that your arms can hang comfortably straight to take the shot. Bend 35 to 40 degrees forward from your hips Hitting a golf ball can be difficult, but if you follow these steps it will be much easier. First, you need to bend 35 to 40 degrees forward from your hips. This may seem like a lot, but it is necessary to generate enough power. Second, keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed. Again, this may be difficult at first, but it is important for generating a smooth swing. Third, grip the club with your fingers, not your palms. Square your shoulders, hips, knees, and feet with the ball To hit a golf ball, you must square your shoulders, hips, knees, and feet with the ball. This will ensure that you make contact with the ball in the sweet spot, which is located on the equator of the golf ball. If you make contact with the sweet spot, you will maximize the distance and accuracy of your shot. Learn Basic Swing And Master On It Shift your weight back as you rotate your hips and torso To hit a golf ball, start by shifting your weight back as you rotate your hips and torso. Then, take a golf swing while keeping your arms close to your body and following through with your swing. Remember to keep your head down and watch the ball as you hit it. Finally, follow through with your swing and finish by rotating your hips and torso back to the starting position. Tilt your front shoulder downward at the top of your backswing One of the most important aspects of hitting a golf ball is having the correct form. This means that at the top of your backswing, your front shoulder should be tilted downward. This may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how well you hit the ball. Having the correct form will also help you to generate more power, which will ultimately lead to better and longer shots. Lead your downswing rotation with your front hip To hit the ball with maximum power, golfers need to ensure their downswing rotation is led by the front hip. This movement initiates the transfer of weight from the back foot to the front foot, which generates speed and power through the hitting zone. When executed correctly, this technique will produce a more consistent, powerful ball strike. Golfers who want to improve their game should focus on leading their downswing rotation with the front hip. Return to your squared starting position at impact In golf, the most important part of the swing impacts. At impact, the clubface should be square to the target line and the club should be in the center of your stance. If you are not in your squared starting position at impact, you will likely hit the ball off-center and lose distance. To ensure that you are in your squared starting position at impact, practice swinging with a square clubface. Continue the rotation into a long, tall follow-through To hit a golf ball properly, one must have a good rotation. Many amateurs think that the only way to get a good rotation is to have a short, quick follow-through. However, this is not the case. A long, tall follow-through is just as important, if not more so. Here are a few tips on how to achieve a proper long, tall follow-through. Adjust Yourself For Different Shots Control the amount of force you use In golf, as with most sports, it is important to control the amount of force you use. Many beginners use too much force and end up making their backswing too long. This puts them off balance and makes it difficult to control the direction of their shot. By shifting your weight backward on your backswing, you can control the amount of force you use and keep your backswing shorter. This will help you stay balanced and hit the ball straighter. Increase your tilt and power up your backswing to drive the ball To hit the golf ball with power, you need to increase your tilt and power up your backswing. These two steps will help you generate more speed and distance. When you increase your tilt, it allows you to transfer your weight more efficiently. This, in turn, will help you power up your backswing and drive the ball further. Make low contact with fairway shots One of the most difficult golf shots is the low-contact shot with a fairway metal. This is often required when the ball is sitting down in the rough or when there is a large tree in front of the player. There are a few things that can be done to make this shot easier. First, take an extra club. Second, choke down on the club. Third, make sure to hit the ball on the upswing. Fourth, focus on hitting the ball squarely. Factor in the wind In golf, one of the most important things to consider is the wind. The wind can cause the ball to veer off course, making it more difficult to hit the target. The direction of the wind changes things: When playing into the wind, the curve of your shot will be affected more, and will turn more than usual. So if you hit a draw or fade, expect it to move more. If the wind is behind you, it will affect higher shots more than lower ones. Your ball will not curve as much either.https://practical-golf.com/playing-golf-in-the-wind/ By taking the wind into account, golfers can make adjustments to their swing to compensate for the wind speed and direction. By doing this, they will have a better chance of hitting the ball closer to the target. Keep your club and swing plane square when making straight shots When making straight golf shots, it is important to keep your club and swing plane square. This will help you hit the ball in the center of the clubface, resulting in more consistent shots. If your club and swing plane are not square, your shots will tend to veer off to the left or right. By keeping your club and swing plane square, you can improve your accuracy and consistency on the golf course. Get yourself out of a trap with a bunker shot A bunker shot is typically used when the ball is resting in a sand trap and can be a very difficult shot to execute correctly. However, with a few simple tips, it is possible to get yourself out of a trap with a successful bunker shot. Play into the green from the outside using an approach shot Approach shots are a difficult but important part of golf. If you can master them, you’ll be able to take your game to the next level. In this article, we’ll give you some tips on how to play into the green from the outside using an approach shot. With a little practice, you’ll be hitting those shots like a pro in no time. Curve the ball with a fade, draw, slice, or hook Four basic types of shots can be hit with a club: the fade, draw, slice, and hook. Each shot is executed differently, and each has its unique benefits. The fade is a shot that starts straight but then curves to the left (for right-handed golfers). The draw is the opposite of the fade, starting to the left but then curving back to the right. Make adjustments to your stance and grip when you putt If you want to improve your putting, start by evaluating your stance and grip. Many people tend to stand too close to the ball, which can throw off your aim. You should also make sure that you are gripping the club lightly. A good grip will allow you to control the club and make a smooth swing. By making a few simple adjustments, you can dramatically improve your putting game. Choose The Right Golf Club Use woods for distance shots A distance shot is hit to travel a long distance. There are a variety of clubs that can be used for distance shots, but the most common is the driver. Drivers are designed to hit the ball a long way, and they are often the club of choice for golfers who are looking to hit a ball a great distance. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind when hitting a driver. Go for irons for mid-range shots If you’re looking to improve your mid-range game, you may want to consider using irons. Irons can provide more accuracy and control than other clubs, making them ideal for mid-range shots. However, it’s important to select the right iron for your skill level and style of play. With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. But with a little research, you can find an iron that’s perfect for your game. Use a hybrid club in place of long irons A hybrid club is a fantastic option for those who struggle with long irons. Hybrids are much easier to hit than traditional long irons, and they can help you improve your game. If you’re struggling with your long irons, consider replacing them with hybrids. You’ll be glad you did! Try a wedge when you need height When you need a little extra height, reach for a wedge. Wedges are shoes with a thick sole that slopes upward from the toe to the heel. This adds inches to your height while still looking natural. Plus, you’ll be more comfortable than if you were wearing stilettos. To find the perfect pair of wedges, look for ones with straps or ankle support. This will help keep them secure on your feet as you walk. Stick with putters for short distances Few golfers think about the putter they are using. Most go to the store, buy a putter, and use it until it wears out. But with so many different types of putters on the market, golfers could be missing out on better short games by not paying attention to the type of putter they are using. There are three main types of putters: blade, mallet, and belly. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses.

From the age of about 13 onwards, I have actually suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of stress and anxiety, and while I have actually mainly come to terms with being jittery and a bit doomy, I definitely would not mind being less so. I have actually had counselling prior to, and it does help. Could e-counselling not just re-hinge my mind, however do so without me having to put trousers on and leave the house? And drawing back from my own (relatively low-key) problems for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the psychological health concerns intensifying amongst under-30s? With cuts to psychological health services really starting to bite, digitised therapy could be simply the ticket for young adults who currently filter nearly every element of their lives– good friends, work, sex, home entertainment– through a screen. Not everyone is completely encouraged that shifting mental health care online is the method forward. “You get to know not just what it’s like to talk to the individual, but how it feels to be in a room with them. ” I’ve carried out some research study into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of traditional counselling; it’s just not quite the same thing. It’s really crucial that individuals who take part in it are aware that it’s a different experience from remaining in the room with someone, speaking in person.” ” In terms of accessibility, it’s an excellent start and absolutely much better than absolutely nothing. It’ll ideally lead them to ultimately showing up in the room. In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some patients towards online programs instead of in person counselling, a phenomenon that worries Dr Balick. If it’s rolled out just to save money and there aren’t crucial concerns being asked about these services, that’s not great. Then, I’m always really sceptical of individuals who are either extremely really pro or very extremely against online mental health care. Well, if the future of psychological healthcare is everything about IMs, FaceTime and ‘OMG, which neuroses R U?’ tests, I chose I ‘d discover what that brave brand-new world would be like. I registered for four really various online psychological health services– ranging in expense from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my anxieties through them all, concurrently, for a week. Here’s what I discovered.

National Foods moves SAP to RapidCompute’s cloud National Foods Limited and RapidCompute – the cloud computing division of Cybernet – announced the successful migration of the first core ERP SAP Landscape Hosting on the RapidCompute IAAS cloud. National Foods will be relying on RapidCompute for hosting the entire SAP landscape including disaster recovery on its cloud. The installation will be spread across multiple cloud sites in Pakistan. National Foods journey to the cloud from on-premises servers was gradual and carefully evaluated at each transitional step. Partnering with RapidCompute, National Foods chalked out a plan whereby the entire SAP landscape was migrated in phases. At each step of the process, both teams worked for hand in hand to test, migrate and manage instances on the cloud ensuring no hiccups for end-users. During planning, RapidCompute engineers, and NFL teams also performed numerous proof of concepts for database replication, high availability and disaster recovery scenarios. The solution is deployed across multiple availability zones of RapidCompute to provide datacenter level redundancy and low latency. Syed Zeeshan Ali, General Manager IT of National Foods added: “We have a long-standing relationship with Cybernet as our MPLS connectivity provider. With RapidCompute, we were able to migrate our mission-critical workload to the cloud and to increase security and reliability for our end users.” To commemorate this occasion, an event was held at RapidCompute’s facility in Karachi. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Abrar Hassan, CEO of National Foods was pleased with the smooth transition to the cloud and noted “Our experience with Cybernet and RapidCompute has been very positive. National Foods relies heavily on cutting-edge technologies for its expansion and continued growth and partners such as Cybernet are essential to our success.” Mr. Danish Lakhani, CEO Cybernet said, “We are delighted to have National Foods on board as the first FMCG to be hosting its production SAP landscape on the cloud. We hope that this collaboration will set a precedent for the future and encourage other organizations to leverage the cloud for their SAP and other ERP requirements.” RapidCompute is the largest cloud operator in Pakistan with 3 datacenters across Punjab and Sindh. It is ISO 27001:2013 certified and runs mission-critical workloads for FMCGs, banks, SMEs and other organizations in Pakistan since 2012.
Going to the Jersey Shore is an experience like no other — and it doesn’t take much to feel like you’re part of the MTV cast. In this week’s “VIP Scene” episode, Us Weekly shows fans how to live it up in New Jersey and party like a Jersey Shore star. No, you don’t have to go to the gym, tan or do laundry before traveling. First up: the OG house from the reality show. While Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino no longer stay at the Ocean Terrace abode, it is available to rent out. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom summer share house can sleep up to 12 people and costs $3,5000 per night. It is the perfect place to take a photo with your squad before heading out of a rowdy night on the shore. Before your crew gets ready to fist pump throughout the seaside town, Us recommends shopping at The Shore Store. The location famously employed several of the reality stars during the show’s early seasons and is now the go-to spot for Pauly D’s Dirty Couture line of clothing. While the cast’s go-to nightclub Karma was demolished in December 2023, there are plenty of hotspots that still exist. Beachcomber Bar and Grill, which is located close to the share house, is still open and ready for any, and all, party animals. Sure, this is the same place that Snooki got punched by a customer during season 1, but that is not a regular occurrence. In fact, the restaurant is actually known for its live music, rooftop patio views and signature sushi rolls. Hooks Bar and Grill is another show staple that fans should hit up while in town. The coastal and casual menu features the perfect hangover cure necessities, including buffalo chicken sliders and lobster mac and cheese. Watch the exclusive video above for more Jersey Shore cast-approved hot spots in New Jersey. Check back next week for an all-new episode of “VIP Scene.”
In May, national elections were held and people elected a government. In democracies, elections are supposed to have consequences. When a party wins a mandate from the people, they are given the right to enact the policies they believe are in the best interest of the nation. In Pakistan, however, we have a topsy-turvy situation in which an opposition party is dictating policy and, in doing so, undermining the very democracy that so many have sacrificed to obtain. Imran Khan campaigned heavily on an anti-drone, anti-American message and earned a significant following. This can not be denied. But even though PTI was able to gain 35 seats (up from zero), they were nowhere near obtaining a majority and forming the government. That prize was awarded by the people to PML-N. Even with a minority share of seats, however, Imran Khan has been dictating policy to the federal government. After a drone attack killed a Haqqani Network militant leader in KP last month, Imran Khan organised a blockade of NATO supplies against the wishes of the federal government resulting in attacks against NATO containers. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has termed the blockade as ‘counterproductive’ and requested Imran Khan to stop the protests as they are causing harm to the national economy and heightening security threats. Representatives of NATO countries have also requested Imran Khan to end the blockade which he has also refused. The question on many minds now is who is in charge? If foreign countries are now making requests to Imran Khan, what exactly is the role of the federal government and particularly the Foreign Ministry? For the first time since four years the US Secretary of Defence has traveled to Pakistan to meet with Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff. Pakistani media has predictably focused on the diplomatic explanation that the visit was “in recognition of the tremendous support that Pakistan has provided in the war on terror”, but foreign media notes that the true reason for the visit was quite different. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Pakistani leaders Monday that if they don’t resolve protests stalling some military shipments across the border with Afghanistan, it could be difficult to maintain political support in Washington for an aid program that has sent billions of dollars to Islamabad, defense officials said. During the Pakistan meetings some of the more contentious issues also were raised, including Islamabad’s opposition to ongoing CIA drone strikes and Washington’s frustration with Pakistan’s reluctance to go after the Haqqani terrorist network, which operates along the border and conducts attacks on U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. The officials acknowledged that little progress was made other than to agree to continue talking. In other words, the American Defence Minister met with the Prime Minister and COAS to ask this very question: ‘who is in charge? You or Imran Khan?’ This question was likely paired with the message that they needed to take back control of their country or else to face the consequences. With 2014 merely weeks away, and the American decision on whether to invoke the ‘zero option’ in Afghanistan, these consequences could be existential. The question remains, is Pakistan a functioning democracy? Or is it ‘Imran Über Alles’?
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 Day 864's idea for indoor plants I haven't quite figured out the whole indoor plant thing. I think I should have them. I think. I've killed a couple, and have yet to make one look quite right. The idea of massing them together is intriguing, thought not entirely practical in a room that gets a lot of use. Deborah Needleman's take (featured in Lonny, at the top) is kind of wily, with plenty of plants in all shapes and textures. Martha's version is -- no surprise -- more orderly, featuring only different varieties of cactus. In both cases, the plants are united with terra cotta pots. So maybe not a great idea if you need a place to set down a cup of coffee, but pretty to look at? Definitely, yes.
Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll announced Friday he will not seek re-election, and that prompted the Pima County Democratic Party to seek a candidate for the open seat. Republican Marla Closen entered the race in 2015, expecting to challenge Carroll. He remains in office until January, 2017, and said Friday he would likely weigh in on the Republican primary race. “I’ll survey the field and probably end up endorsing and working for a candidate in the primary," Carroll said. Meanwhile, his announcement prompted the Pima County Democratic Party to make plans. "We started looking once we knew that it would be an open seat," said Jo Holt, Pima County Democratic Party chairwoman. The news marks the unofficial start of the county campaign season. So far, three supervisors face challenges. Here are the people who have filed preliminary paperwork to run for supervisor seats: District 1 northwest Pima County - incumbent Republican Ally Miller - Democrat Brian Bickel - Democrat Jeff Farrell District 2 southern Pima County - incumbent Democrat Ramón Valadez - independent Richard Hernandez District 3 western Pima County - Republican Christopher Wolff - incumbent Democrat Sharon Bronson - Republican Kimberly A. Demarco District 4 north and eastern Pima County - Republican Marla Closen District 5 western Tucson Metro area - incumbent Democrat Richard Elías Any candidate who wishes to have his or her name on the primary ballot in August must file paperwork and nominating petitions by the beginning of June.

– At its December meeting the RBA left rates on hold but retained a tightening bias with still relatively hawkish commentary. – Our concern remains that the RBA has tightened more than necessary with a high risk of recession next year. The key risk remains consumer spending where various indicators continue to point down. – The risk of another rate hike – which if it occurs would most likely be at the next meeting in February after December quarter inflation data – remains high at around 40% – However, our base case is that the RBA has reached the top and we see it cutting rates in second half 2024. At its December meeting the RBA left the cash rate on hold at 4.35%. This was in line with our own view & that of most economists along with money market expectations. It followed a 13th hike at its November meeting which meant a total of 425 basis points over 19 months since May last year, which has been the biggest interest rate hiking cycle since the late 1980s. Source: RBA, AMP This took the cash rate to levels last seen in 2011 and mortgage rates to levels last seen in 2008. The RBA retains a tightening bias The RBA no doubt considered again whether to hike or hold before opting to hold. In this regard it noted that since the last meeting new information has been broadly in line with their expectations, the October CPI suggests inflation continues to moderate and it doesn’t expect much further rise in wages growth. However, it continues to stress the importance of returning inflation to target and keeping inflation expectations down and remains concerned about sticky services inflation with the jobs market easing but still tight. While the RBA retained the softened wording from the November meeting that “whether further tightening of monetary policy is required…will depend upon the data and the evolving assessment of risks” it’s clear that it retains a bias to raise rates again. There is no meeting in January but by the February meeting the RBA will have December quarter inflation data, two more rounds of retail sales and jobs data and revised RBA forecasts – so all of these will be critical. Given its hawkish bias our view is that the risk of another rate hike remains high at around 40% – and if it occurs it will be at the February meeting. The case for rates being at the top We have been way too optimistic as to how far the RBA would raise the cash rate, but our view remains that the RBA has done more than enough to bring inflation back to target and that we are likely at the peak in rates.First, while the economy has been far more resilient than we expected when rate hikes started 19 months ago its well known in the words of Milton Friedman that “monetary actions affect economic conditions only after a lag that is both long and variable”. This can be up to 18 months or more. This is because it takes a while for the hikes to be passed through to borrowers and for them to adjust their spending and for this to impact companies and jobs. The experience of the late 1980s in Australia where the cash rate was raised from 10.5% to 18% though 1988 and 1989 but unemployment kept falling, only for the economy to fall into recession in 1990 is a classic example of these lags at work. (Rates were higher then, but the level of household debt to income was one third current levels.) This time around the lag has likely been lengthened by savings buffers built up in the pandemic, the reopening boost, more than normal home borrowers locking in at 2% or so fixed rates and “labour hoarding” boosting employment. However, these protections are likely now wearing off. The 13 rate hikes since May last year mean that a variable rate borrower with a $600,000 mortgage will have seen around an extra $17,000 a year added to their mortgage payments. Most may have sought a better deal but even if they got a 0.5% discount on their mortgage rate it would now amount to an extra $14,900 in extra mortgage payments. This has already seen housing debt interest payments as a share of household income double from their lows with scheduled total payments rise to a record share of income. It’s hard to see this not having a big impact on household spending. Particularly given the RBA’s analysis based on variable and fixed borrowers that around one in seven households with a mortgage were already cash flow negative in July, which will likely be higher by now. Secondly, while the data is noisy, we are seeing ongoing evidence that rate hikes are biting with real per person retail sales down 4% on a year ago and the ABS’s Monthly Household Spending Indicator pointing to now falling real consumer spending, a sharp fall in building approvals from their highs, slowing business investment plans, job vacancies well down from their highs, unemployment starting a modest rising trend and now signs that home price gains are slowing again. Combined this is likely to continue to bear down on underlying inflationary pressures. And while a surge in petrol prices was a concern a month ago global oil prices have since turned down again and this is flowing through to lower petrol prices. Source: ABS, AMP Thirdly, the news on Australia inflation has improved after a setback in August and September and points to an ongoing fall. The Monthly CPI indicator for October came in far less than expected at 4.9%yoy, down from 5.6%, with an implied monthly fall of 0.3% mom. Of course, the monthly CPI can be very volatile, various subsidies impacted in October, key services (like hairdressing, dental and pet services weren’t measured) and underlying measures of inflation fell by less so there is a case to be cautious, but the good news is that the downtrend looks to be resuming. Source: ABS, AMP Consistent with this, our Australian Pipeline Inflation Indicator points to a further fall in inflation ahead. In fact, monthly inflation could have a three in front of it by December. While some fret that Australian inflation is now well above the circa 3% yoy rates that apply in the US, Canada and Europe it should be recalled that Australian inflation lagged on the way up and peaked three to six months later and it’s doing the same on the way down so there is no reason to be alarmed that its currently higher. In fact, with monthly rises in November and December 2022 of 0.9% mom and 1.5% mom to drop out respectively in the next two months’ CPI releases we are likely to see monthly inflation with a three in front of it by year end. This will bring Australian inflation more into line with US, Canadian and European inflation. Fourthly, the decline in global inflation points to a broader easing in global inflation pressure which will benefit Australia and it highlights that monetary policy still works in slowing inflation and so there is no reason why it shouldn’t work here too. Finally, it should be noted that while the RBA has not raised its key policy rate as much as in other comparable countries (5% in Canada, 5.25% in the UK, 5.37% in the US & 5.5% in NZ), the rise in actual outstanding mortgage rates exceeds that in most other countries (reflecting the higher reliance on short dated borrowing here) implying a much bigger hit to households. Note this data is mostly only available up to Sept/Oct. Source: Macrobond, RBA, AMP The short-term risk for interest rates still remains on the upside given the RBA’s own tightening bias – so we are allowing for a 40% risk of another hike which would most likely come in February if it occurs. Yet continuing to raise interest rates will only add to the already very high risk of recession, particularly given the uncertainty around the long and variable lags with which rate hikes impact the economy meaning that there is a big impact yet to fully show up. As a result, the economy is likely to slow further into next year which along with supply chain improvements is likely to push headline inflation down to three point something earlier than the RBA is allowing. As a result, our base case is that the cash rate has peaked with rate cuts starting in the second half of next year. Key to watch will be the global economy, household spending, inflation and the labour market.

Dear Students and Colleagues, I hope your spring semester is off to an invigorating start. From the moment our students returned to a snow-covered campus a few weeks ago, I know we have all once again immersed ourselves in the rigor, joys, and connections that fill life at Lafayette College. Today I write to share some updates regarding the exciting work underway for several key initiatives. Our comprehensive strategic planning efforts are making significant progress. The steering committee extends its appreciation to everyone who took the community-wide survey on draft 2.0 of the mission and values statements. This draft reflects the valuable feedback the Strategic Planning Steering Committee received from faculty, staff, and students this fall at open listening sessions; the fall survey of the community; and several other data sources. A final draft will be released to the community through Lafayette Today on Thursday of this week, and will be presented at upcoming meetings of the faculty, staff, and student government before I share them with the Board of Trustees for consideration at our winter meeting on February 24. The College received more than 10,150 admission applications for fall 2024 enrollment, the second highest in College history and a 3.6% increase over last year. Not only are the numbers impressive, but Lafayette’s geographic reach into the Southwest, Midwest, and Mountain West rose markedly. Similar to last year, our goals for this class include increasing the percentage that are Pell Grant recipients (federal grants reserved for very low-income students). While not a perfect proxy for low-income students, Pell Grant percentages help provide a sense of how schools are contributing to social mobility. We are proud that approximately 14% of the Class of 2027 are Pell Grant recipients, the most ever for the College. We are encouraged that the breadth and quality of our applicant pool for the Class of 2028 may give us an opportunity to match or surpass the percentage of Pell Grant recipients in the Class of 2027. We take this goal seriously, as a proud member of the American Talent Initiative, whose member colleges seek to increase the proportion of a student population that is Pell eligible to 15%. During the Early Decision I phase of enrollment, 281 students committed to attend Lafayette next fall. The admissions team is now actively engaged in reviewing Early Decision II admissions applications. The goal is for total ED admits to represent approximately 50% of our incoming class. Early Decision II admission decisions will be released the afternoon of February 15, and Regular Decision admission decisions are scheduled to be released March 22. Other information about the Class of 2028 applicant pool includes the following: The entire Lafayette community shares in the work of each year’s admission cycle—from recruitment events to campus visits to applications to the all-important yield. I am grateful to VP for Enrollment Management Forrest Stuart, our entire admissions team, and everyone who has been involved in this productive and meaningful effort. Black Heritage Month Black Heritage Month celebrations are well underway, with a variety of opportunities to learn about, celebrate, and explore Black heritage as a community. I encourage you to attend the events that the Office of Intercultural Development, in partnership with the Association of Black Collegians, has organized for this month. Title IX Training I am delighted to report that 98% of active faculty and staff have completed the Title IX training we launched last fall as part of the College’s commitment to combat discrimination in all its forms. Thank you for taking the time to complete this important training and to advancing our shared commitment to creating a safe and welcoming community for all. Landis Center to Become Hub for Community Engagement and Outreach Last April, I convened a group of faculty and staff representatives to explore the many ways the College engages with our neighbors in Easton and across the Lehigh Valley. Based on this group’s findings and conversations with members of the community, we have concluded that the Landis Center is uniquely positioned to play an expanded role in coordinating these important efforts College-wide. Building on its many productive partnerships with local, regional, and global organizations, the center will now serve as the primary point of contact for external partners that engage with the College. This role will include working with partners and local residents and connecting them with necessary resources. The center will continue to report to the Provost’s Office, with significant collaboration with my office through Chief of Staff Nicole Eramo. To support this additional charge, the Landis Center is restructuring some of its internal responsibilities. I am pleased to share that Chelsea Morrese has agreed to assume the role of executive director of community engagement in addition to her role as center director. I am grateful to Caroline Lee for continuing to lead the center’s support of faculty work in the community as faculty director, to Jodi Fowler in her new role as associate director of civic leadership programs, and to the entire center team for taking on new responsibilities in support of our students and community. A full listing and description of the center’s staff and their responsibilities, as well as more details about its expanded charge, are available on the Landis Center website. We are thrilled to welcome to our community Ernest Jeffries, who joined us officially on January 8 as Vice President for Inclusion. He is eager to meet and hear from as many members of the community as possible as he undertakes the essential work of developing and implementing a plan to connect, leverage, and further equity and inclusion efforts at Lafayette. The Provost Search Committee, aided by AGB Search, has identified four finalists from a highly talented pool of more than 70 applicants in the search for the College’s next provost. I am grateful to the committee members for devoting a significant part of their winter break to evaluating candidates and interviewing eight semi-finalists, a process that yielded the four finalists. The finalists are visiting campus this week and next for in-person interviews and open community forums. Your input remains vital to this process, and I encourage you to attend these forums. Materials on each of the finalists, the forum schedule, and additional information about the search are available on the Provost Search website. It is also a pleasure to report that the recruitment of our next general counsel is underway. We posted the position in late December and have already received more than 25 applications for this essential role. Thanks to Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Audra Kahr for overseeing this search, and to the members of the search committee: Associate Professor of Psychology John Shaw, Executive Assistant to the General Counsel Jody Poniatowski, Director of Educational Equity Amanda Hanincik, and Senior Advisor to the Executive Vice President Heather Hartner. The committee is in the process of reviewing applications. We will keep you updated on the process and will be inviting additional members of the community to partake in campus interviews. Vice Presidential Debate We have been coordinating closely with the Commission on Presidential Debates; local, state, and federal law enforcement; and production partners as we prepare to showcase the College as host of the 2024 Vice Presidential Debate on September 25. We have now launched a Vice Presidential Debate website with initial hosting details and opportunities to participate. Meanwhile, two internal committees of administrators, staff, faculty, and students have begun meeting regularly to create engaging opportunities for our Lafayette family and the surrounding community to participate in debate-related programs. The VP Debate Committee welcomes ideas or questions at email@example.com. The five Bicentennial task forces are busy vetting and developing ideas for consideration by the Bicentennial Planning and Management Group to engage the entire Lafayette community in our historic celebration. Thanks to everyone who has submitted ideas so far. Please keep the ideas coming. The start of 2024 marks the beginning of a momentous year for our College–one in which a new strategic plan will be formalized, Bicentennial plans will be set, the College will host a vice presidential debate for the first time, and so much more. I wish you the greatest success in your academic endeavors, scholarly pursuits, and co-curricular passions as this semester moves forward. To our shared progress, President Nicole Hurd
The SNP will eliminate fees for learning a musical instrument in schools, education secretary John Swinney has announced. The party said it will, if re-elected on May 6, invest £18m in the project to ensure poor children have the same opportunities as their more well off counterparts. The current system is run by local councils, despite entreaties from the Scottish Government in recent years to drop the charges. But the SNP manifesto, which will be published this week, will pledge the extra funding needed to local authorities to scrap the fees. Speaking to the Times, Swinney said: “The last year has been incredibly tough for children and young people across Scotland but the SNP is more committed than ever to putting in place a solid plan to support recovery and increase opportunities for every child to achieve their full potential. “Participation in music and the arts can have a hugely positive impact on the wellbeing and attainment of our children and young people, providing them with opportunities to be creative, develop their imaginations and experience inspiration and enjoyment. “This will build on our record of promoting equality of opportunity across all local authority schools and ensure that music tuition remains accessible for all.” Swinney also confirmed the move on Twitter on Wednesday morning, describing it as a “bold initiative”. The funding will come from the existing budget, he said. The party also said it will aim to make music a core subject in Scotland’s schools, as well as ensuring music tutors are accredited by the General Teaching Council for Scotland.

Chicago police officials on Monday released more information after two people were injured during a shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a Chicago White Sox game. Interim Police Superintendent Fred Waller said Monday his department has “almost completely dispelled” the idea that the shots that injured two women were fired from outside the ballpark, according to reporting from the Chicago Tribune. Waller said that while “at one point in time it was requested” that the game — which remained ongoing after the shooting occurred — was halted as a precaution, but added that police had “no active shooter information.” “As we were gathering more information, the game continued and then very quickly the game ended,” Waller said Monday. According to police, a 42-year-old woman was shot in the leg and a 26-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to the abdomen in the incident. The 42-year-old was transported to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment, while the second victim refused medical attention. After police were notified of the shooting, officers “responded immediately and deployed additional resources while coordinating with White Sox security to maintain the safety of those who were in attendance or working at the game. At no time was it believed there was an active threat,” according to a police statement issued in the hours after the game. The White Sox said they were not aware at first that a woman injured during the game was shot, and that the Chicago Police Department would have stopped play if officers thought it was unsafe to continue. Team spokesman Scott Reifert said police determined there was “no active threat and that the ballgame could continue.” The team also was in contact with Major League Baseball. “If the police want to stop the game, they’re going to stop the game,” Reifert said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s siblings have asked the United Nations to help get her out of a Brooklyn federal jail only days before the start of her sex trafficking trial. Lawyers for the jailed British socialite’s family members wrote the UN Monday, requesting it intervene in her detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center. The request comes after six unsuccessful requests to the courts to grant her bail while awaiting trial. The Maxwells’ lawyers wrote that even correctional officers think she’s getting unusually harsh treatment at the Sunset Park lockup. “It no longer needs to be shown that the brutality of her detention regime is completely gratuitous considering her profile, and that she has significantly less extensive rights than her co-detainees. Ghislaine Maxwell undergoes body searches much more frequently and extensively than usual, these searches being sometimes carried out up to seven times a day,” wrote Paris-based lawyers François Zimeray and Jessica Finelle. “More provocatively, some prison officers appear to believe her conditions of detention are more stringent and dehumanizing than those applicable to inmates of MDC’s most supervised, and those sentenced to death for terrorism or murder.” Maxwell has been behind bars since her arrest at a secluded $1 million timber frame home in Bradford, N.H. The letter to the UN’s Working Group on Arbitrary Detention details Maxwell’s solitary confinement in an “unsanitary cell,” which has “physically and psychologically weakened” the Oxford graduate. The conditions of confinement have made it harder for her to prepare her defense, the lawyers argue. They reiterated arguments that prosecutors have unfairly substituted Maxwell for her former flame, Jeffrey Epstein. The multimillionaire financier hanged himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial for underage sex trafficking — a major security breakdown that highlighted dreadful conditions at Bureau of Prisons lockups. The letter alluded to the government’s “urgent need to provide the public with a substitute culprit.” “The relationship she may have had with Jeffrey Epstein years before — regardless of the reality of it, its origin and its duration — as well as her gender; the privileged international family upbringing of Ms. Maxwell and the controversies surrounding her long-dead father, as well as allusions to her oft-mentioned financial position ... made her the ideal candidate for this substitute role,” reads the letter to the UN. They argue other high-profile, wealthy Manhattan defendants, like Bernie Madoff, got out on bail for a third of what Maxwell has offered. Her siblings have offered to put up almost $30 million as collateral. Maxwell has offered to renounce her French and British citizenship, to no avail. “More generally, the fact that Ms. Maxwell is subject to an anti-suicide surveillance regime even though she has no suicidal tendencies demonstrates that she is being treated differently, without any objective justification,” the letter continued. Meanwhile, Maxwell, 59, appeared Tuesday in Manhattan Federal Court for the final time before a jury begins considering the case. Opening arguments start Monday. Wearing all black, Epstein’s alleged chief recruiter drank coffee fetched by her defense team and waved to supporters in attendance. The feds have charged Maxwell with procuring minors to have illegal sex with Epstein at his properties worldwide and participating in the abuse herself during the late nineties and early 2000s. She has pleaded not guilty. A spokesperson for the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
STORY: Qantas just predicted record profits ahead - and in the process enraged its labor unions. On Tuesday (May 23) the Australian airline said annual underlying earnings could go as high as $1.6 billion. That is better than analysts expected, and would be around 50% up on the past record, set in 2018. The carrier cited rising demand for travel, better control of costs, and lower debt. But the numbers did not go down well with labor organizations. Australia’s Transport Workers Union is currently locked in a battle with Qantas over 1,700 ground staff let go during the global health crisis. They also object to the company’s plan to increase a share buyback programme. Unions say sacked workers were told Qantas needed to save money. They’ve also now called on the airline to pay back billions in state aid received during the health crisis. Qantas says much of that money went straight to staff. Looking ahead, the firm said high jet fuel prices remain a concern.

When we talk about a Forex bonus, we are referring to a special promotion that is offered by a broker to its clients. This type of bonus is designed to encourage new clients to open an account with the broker. In most cases, the bonus is in the form of extra funds that are added to the client’s account. These funds can then be used to trade in the Forex market. The main advantage of a Forex bonus is that it gives the client extra funds to trade with. This can be a great way to increase your chances of making a profit. However, it is important to remember that the bonus is not free money. You will still need to make sure that you are careful with your trading and only use the funds that you can afford to lose. Get The Forex No Deposit Bonus—How? One of the most popular types of Forex bonuses is the no deposit bonus. This is where the broker offers you a certain amount of money to open an account with them. The main advantage of this type of bonus is that you do not need to deposit any of your own money. This means that you can start trading in the Forex market without risking any of your own money. However, there are some risks associated with a no deposit bonus. The first is that you may not be able to withdraw the bonus once you have made a profit. This is because the broker will usually require you to make a deposit before they will release the funds to you. Overall, a forex bonus no deposit can be a great way to start trading in the Forex market. However, it is important to remember that there are some risks involved. Make sure that you understand all of the terms and conditions before you agree to anything. When it comes to a forex bonus, there are a few things that you should know. First off, a forex bonus is simply an incentive that is offered by a broker to new clients in order to encourage them to open an account and start trading. Benefits Of A Forex Bonus No Deposit When it comes to forex trading, there are a lot of different things that you need to consider in order to be successful. One of the most important things that you need to do is to find a good broker that can offer you a forex bonus no deposit. This type of bonus can help you get started in the market without having to risk any of your own money. A forex bonus no deposit is a great way to get started in the market because it allows you to trade without having to put any of your own money at risk.

Use A Forex Bonus No Deposit If you are new to the world of online Forex trading, then you might be wondering what a Forex bonus no deposit is and how you can use it to your advantage. In this article, we will take a closer look at what a Forex bonus no deposit is and how you can use it when trading online. In order to qualify for a Forex bonus no deposit, you will usually need to open a live account with the broker in question. Once you have done this, you will then need to make a deposit into your account. The amount of the deposit will vary from broker to broker, but it is typically a small amount. Once your deposit has been made, you will then be able to access the bonus funds. One of the key things to remember when using a Forex bonus no deposit is that you will need to trade a certain amount of money before you can withdraw the bonus. This is typically a multiple of the bonus amount, so it is important to read the small print before you sign up for an account. When it comes to a forex bonus, there is no such thing as a free lunch. There are always risks involved, whether it is the risk of losing your own money or the risk of being scammed by a broker. The forex bonus no deposit is a perfect example of this. While it may seem like a great deal, where you can get free money to trade with, there are always strings attached. In most cases, the broker will require you to trade a certain amount of money before you can withdraw the bonus. Visit more: webtoon xyz

Help Us Rebuild Nordic Valley Nordic Valley Village Community Benefit Foundation to build replica of historic Nordic Valley Barn for the community. On the morning of January 15th, after receiving its largest snowfall of the season, Nordic Valley’s historic barn was destroyed by fire. The historic barn is the original barn of the Silver Bell Ranch and has been one of the community’s beloved and iconic landmarks for decades. Almost immediately after the news hit the local media, calls of concern began to come in. Chief among them was, “Please restore the barn! I learned to ski there.” And just as quickly, offers of assistance came pouring in as well. MCP (Mountain Capital Partners) operates the ski resort and uses the barn to provide skier services. The owners of the barn are Nordic Valley Ventures—which includes GWC Capital, a subsidiary of Clyde Companies, and their French partners SMB (Skyline Mountain Base). Sadly, the barn cannot be salvaged and will have to be torn down. It will be replaced with a new ski lodge. However, requests to rebuild and offers to help have been so overwhelming that the Nordic Valley Village Community Benefit Foundation is stepping up to build a replica of the barn for the community. Nordic Valley Ventures has committed to donate an acre of property, located to the east of the barn, to the foundation which the foundation will use to build a new community park. Details of the park plan are still forthcoming, but it will feature a replica of the historic barn. The barn replica will attempt to incorporate as many salvaged artifacts of the original barn as possible in order to preserve the community’s unique history. The foundation will own and operate the park and barn for the benefit of the larger Upper Ogden Valley community. “While we are deeply saddened to lose our historic barn, we are equally encouraged that we have the opportunity to replace a community icon through the foundation and give the community an enhanced asset it can enjoy for generations to come,” notes Robert Behunin, chair of the foundation board. “The foundation looks forward to working with the community and the many stakeholders who have reached out as we begin our work.” Help Us Rebuild As we work to plan the new community park and rebuild the barn, those interested in helping in any way can email us using the form below.
As winter break is in full swing and the team itself returns to Boston to prepare for the back half of the season, let’s take a moment to reflect on what was an impressive first half for the Northeastern men’s ice hockey team. The Huskies are technically tied for third in Hockey East, although if you sort the teams by points per game rather than just points they jump into 2nd place outright. This position, combined with a 10-3-1 record overall and a signature non-conference win over #1 St. Cloud State, has NU ranked in both national polls and 13th in the Pairwise, a position that would get them into the NCAA tournament if the season ended today. The 10 wins in just 14 games are themselves a milestone. NU did get to 10 wins in the first half last season, but needed 16 games to do so. Likewise, they took 17 first half games to reach the 10 win mark in 2013-14. The only other start the Huskies have had in the modern era that really matches this one is 2008-09, where the Huskies got as high as #2 in the national rankings behind Hobey Hat Trick goaltender Brad Thiessen. So how did we get here? It started with a team that was, to embellish slightly, left for dead at the start of the season. Quite frankly, it may have been the worst prediction ever given to a team that returned both a star goaltender and an All-American defenseman. Yeah, sure, they lost the Big Three and nobody on Huntington Ave is going to forget the name Adam Gaudette anytime soon, but they didn’t exactly return from summer vacation to a bare cupboard. There was a lot of talent, drafted talent at that, waiting to be utilized for another run. But anybody could have seen that coming in, so what has actually made the difference? The biggest reason is Tyler Madden. Madden was a third round pick in the NHL Draft, but came in at a mere 150 pounds as Canucks fans across the internet yelled into the void lamenting that their team would dare choose the Northeastern centerman over the all-world BU freshman Jake Wise. Madden is somebody who NU fans expected would contribute, but coming in as a first-semester freshman and doing what Madden has is insane. Here’s a comparison for you. This is the stat line for the first half of Adam Gaudette’s freshman season. The comparison here is Tyler Madden against a future Hobey Baker Award Winner in a season where Gaudette would help NU win a Hockey East Championship. Gaudette: 3-2-5 in 18 games played Madden: 6-9-15 in 14 games played Tyler Madden producing over a point per game as a first line, all-situation centerman as a 150 pounds-soaking-wet true freshman in Hockey East is basically unprecedented by people who aren’t named Jack Eichel or Johnny Gaudreau. It’s not something that’s supposed to happen. But Madden is doing it, and that’s the reason he’s in Vancouver right now skating on the first line of the US National Under-20 Team instead of back with his teammates in Boston. He leads Hockey East freshmen in basically any scoring category you can think of on a per game basis. He’s second nationally among freshmen in goals per game and third in points per game. Everybody at NU knew Madden was going to be good, but nobody outside of Huntington Ave (or maybe even inside) had him pencilled in as possibly the best freshman in the country. He’s replaced Adam Gaudette, ADAM GAUDETTE, and hardly even missed a beat. That’s just unfathomable. Not to be lost in the Madden hype is another diminutive forward making the most of increased opportunity: Grant Jozefek. His NU career started with what could only be described as a nightmare, he took big hit after big hit and suffered concussion after concussion as a freshman. Then he sat behind the Big Three as a sophomore, taking whatever scraps of power play time they left behind. This year, Jozefek finally has both the health and the opportunity and has emerged as one of the best players in the country. He’s seventh nationally in goal scoring, and ranks second in the junior class nationally and second in Hockey East. Once again, everybody on Huntington Ave had seen flashes of what Grant Jozefek could do with a hockey stick. But did anybody else think he was a 10-goal-a-semester scorer? Absolutely not. I could keep going with this. Zach Solow is a former USHL assist master, who piled up point after point after point while everybody asked if we should be crediting him or his linemates. Solow now has 9 goals in 14 games. We here at the blog have been on the “Zach Solow needs to shoot more, just like Dylan Sikura” train for a year now. I know the NU coaching staff has been too. Guess what? It’s a new year, he’s shooting, and it’s working. Patrick Schule, a player who wasn’t even seen as a guarantee to play every night coming into the year, has six goals. Jordan Harris is a true freshman defenseman playing first line minutes straight out of prep and doing so literally better than anybody could dream. In fact, 15 of the 17 NU skaters who have reached double-digit games played have a goal this season. The only ones who don’t are defensive wizard Ryan Shea and perennial 13th forward Eetu Selanne. The question everybody wanted answered coming into the year was “Who will step up for Northeastern?” The question they should be asking now is “Who hasn’t?” So what does all of this mean going forward? NU has, in all honestly, had a pretty soft schedule to start the year. Aside from the win over St. Cloud (which shouldn’t be discounted) their best opponent was Union, who swept them out of Matthews. So there’s still some question as to whether they can do it against top competition. In Hockey East play, they’ve decimated Merrimack and swept a deceptively-solid-but-freshman-packed Lowell team, but they’re also untested, with no games yet this year against the remainder of the top four (PC, UMass, and BC) and also having yet to play their bi-annual two game series in Orono. So as many questions as have been answered, a lot more are going to get answered in short order. After they get through a… weak… Catamount Cup field and go through Merrimack one more time, the schedule is: at Maine x2 Beanpot (vs BU, BC/H) That is a hell of a four week stretch of games, and we’re going to learn a lot about this team very quickly. 5 of the most difficult 8 games NU will play all year (by current Pairwise) will all occur back-to-back between the middle of the January and the start of the Beanpot, and again, the other two games in that stretch will take place in Orono. The going is about to get tough, but if there’s one thing a 10-win fall has taught us, these Huskies are here to make an impact.

Ajax have suspended club CEO Alex Kroes after he “likely engaged in insider trading” prior to his appointment in August 2023. The Dutch club released a statement on Tuesday to state that Kroes has been suspended from his role “with immediate effect and (the club) intends to terminate the collaboration permanently”. Ajax said the decision followed external legal advice after learning that the 49-year-old had purchased over 17,000 shares in the club prior to his appointment on August 2, 2023. Insider trading — the buying or selling of stocks based on privileged information — is a criminal offence. Kroes only began his work as the club’s CEO on March 15 following his appointment last summer. “We are deeply dismayed that this has occurred at Ajax, as it is highly detrimental to the club and everyone who holds it dear to them,” said Michael van Praag, chairman of the club’s supervisory board, who dealt with the case. “Alex Kroes’s actions are not in line with what Ajax stands for. The timing of his share purchase indicates insider trading. Such a violation of the law cannot be tolerated by a publicly listed company, especially when it involves the CEO. “After careful consideration, the Supervisory Board has therefore concluded that Alex’s position as a director of Ajax is untenable. I want to emphasise that the technical policy will continue with the individuals in place and on the path Ajax was already on with Alex.” The Supervisory Board of AFC Ajax NV has decided to suspend Alex Kroes, CEO and chairman of the board, with immediate effect and intends to terminate the collaboration permanently. — AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) April 2, 2024 Kroes said in a statement on Tuesday that “I bought every Ajax share myself” and added that Ajax’s supervisory board were “already aware” of his share package in the club and that he provided “full disclosure” about all relevant assets, including his 42,500 shares in the club. “In the period from April 6, 2022 to July 26, 2023, I purchased Ajax shares in bits and pieces, increasing to 42,500 shares (of the total of 18.33million existing Ajax shares),” Kroes said. “On December 31, 2022 I already had 20,000 pieces. I purchased another part in the months of April, May and June 2023. I purchased the last part (approximately 17,500 pieces) on July 26, 2023, shortly before my appointment on August 2, 2023.” Kroes insists he had “not yet agreed” his move to Ajax at that time, but admitted to having a “good feeling” about his appointment. He said: “I thought it was a positive signal to radiate confidence in the club and to shareholders.” Kroes added that to “radiate confidence” to his fellow shareholders and stakeholders, he bought shares to “run financial risks” himself, which he described as showing to have “skin in the game”. “After July 26, 2023 and, to avoid any misunderstandings, since I have access to any confidential information, I have not bought or sold any Ajax shares,” Kroes added. “While it’s not impossible that I could make money with these stocks in the longer term, that certainly hasn’t been the case to date. There is certainly no ‘quick win’ idea behind it, I first wanted to ensure that things would go very well for Ajax in all kinds of areas.” Kroes added that Ajax’s supervisory board advised him on March 29 that they no longer had confidence in him and believed he had “malicious intent” in mind with his purchase of shares on July 26, 2023. “I now understand, after consultation with my lawyer, that I did not make the wisest decision on July 26, 2023 due to the appearance of the situation,” Kroes said. “This does not alter the fact that a number of questions can still be asked about the qualification as ‘inside information’ and therefore certainly the severity of the decision of summary dismissal by the Supervisory Board.” He added: “The Ajax supervisory board has already ruled that I apparently do not have the ‘correct moral compass’. A compass that, conversely, I would have liked to see the supervisory board use in recent months. The supervisory board earlier this week labeled the purchase of the last portion of shares as nothing more than ‘unfortunate’.” A former Ajax youth player, Kroes was a co-founder of the Sports Entertainment Group (SEG) player agency, in 2000. He sold SEG — now the largest football agency in the Netherlands — in 2018. Kroes subsequently became majority shareholder and director of Dutch club Go Ahead Eagles, before in December 2022 becoming the director of international football strategy at Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar. He was appointed as Ajax CEO in the summer of 2023 to replace Edwin van der Sar, but due to a competition clause in his contract with AZ, an agreement had to be reached between the parties to allow him to commence work at the Amsterdam club. That work began on March 15, just 18 days prior to his suspension. (NESimages/Geert van Erven/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)
Last week with held a workshop with a group of fabulous women from Lovesick Lake Native Women's Association & other enthusiastic community members to learn about water bath canning. We purchased bush beans and blueberries which were both in abundance at the Peterborough Downtown Farmers' Market and worked together to can pickled beans and blueberry jam! There are no databases, librarians, or actual books, but Nourish is unveiling a new library in town that offers a range of resources for extending our community’s connection to good food. Building on the increasing popularity of at-home food preservation, Nourish's Canning Library operates much like a regular library, but, instead of books, provides free public access to a wide variety of household canning equipment. I have a serious weakness for green beans. A steaming bowl of tender beans melting on a dollop of butter reminds me of my childhood. I love the sweet smell and delicate taste of beans. I wish I could enjoy them year-round. Every year I find that their season goes by way too quickly. I never seem to be able to get my fix of them! Gleaning traces its origin to an old French word glener, which is itself rooted in the Latin verb, glan(n)are, meaning to gather. In modern English, gleaning boasts three different meanings: (1) to gather produce left from the main harvest, (2) to assemble slowly, bit by bit and (3) to discover something new. “Summer provides the food for winter,” - will say many Ukrainians while pickling cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes, beetroots, salting cabbage and mushrooms; preserving salads made of summer vegetables or even making a wide variety of fruit jams and juices or bottling compotes.
Biannual exhibition featuring SMFA at Tufts students and recent alumni represents first in new collaborative series between school and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston BOSTON and MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (Nov. 4, 2019)—Dynamic work from four recent graduates of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts University is the focus of the new exhibition “SMFA at Tufts: Juried Student Exhibition 2019-2020,” on view from Nov. 16, 2019 to April 12, 2020 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), in the Edward H. Linde Gallery (Gallery 168). This biannual exhibition is the first in an exciting new collaboration between the MFA and SMFA at Tufts, in which gallery space is dedicated to the work of SMFA at Tufts students or recent alumni from November through April each year. The collaboration strengthens the relationship between the museum and SMFA at Tufts, dating to the SMFA’s 1876 founding, and spotlights the work of emerging artists. This first exhibition includes works in a variety of media by artists Perla Mabel, Timothy Manalo, Louis Meola and Katherine Wildman. It is curated by Emily Chun and Juan Omar Rodriguez, respectively a graduate student and a recent graduate alumnus of the Department of the History of Art and Architecture in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts. The exhibition features textiles, installation, sculptures and prints by these four recent graduates of the SMFA at Tufts MFA and BFA degree programs. Rooted in their personal experiences, their projects range from Mabel’s rich textile portraits of women from her life, to Wildman’s installation of handmade objects that hint at how desire and pleasure might coexist. Manalo explores the Filipino diaspora by evoking the food and furniture of a family gathering, while Meola’s work replicates the surfaces of metal and broken Plexiglass to recall his grandfather’s workspace. All the artists featured received their Master or Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees as members of the SMFA at Tufts Class of 2019. Their work was selected by a jury that included Chun and Rodriguez, as well as MFA staff Reto Thüring, Beal Family chair of Contemporary Art, and Dakota DeVos, curatorial research fellow. This exhibition was organized by the Department of Contemporary Art at the MFA, with the assistance of graduate students in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Tufts. It is supported by the Callaghan Family Fund for Contemporary Exhibitions. This close cooperation between SMFA and the MFA is one of many programs that reflect the museum’s commitment to the next generation of promising young artists and curators. “This new form of collaboration is a reaffirmation of the special bond that has existed between the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, since the MFA opened its doors to the public 143 years ago," said Nancy Bauer, dean of SMFA at Tufts. "We are thrilled about this 21st century enhancement of our relationship, which every year will provide our students and alumni with opportunities to exhibit their work in one of the most impressive museums in the world.” The shows in this collaboration will alternate between displaying the work of SMFA students and recent alumni, and exhibiting the result of a selected SMFA at Tufts Traveling Fellow’s funded trip. Established in 1899, the SMFA Traveling Fellows program awards funds to select artists for post-graduate work and travel. Ten SMFA at Tufts alumni are selected by a jury each year to receive a $10,000 grant to use for travel, research or other expenses related to their work. One of the largest endowed art school grant programs in the United States, the fellowships provide critical early-career support for SMFA at Tufts alumni. Earlier this year, 2008 SMFA at Tufts graduate Georgie Friedman exhibited “Georgie Friedman: Fragments of Antarctica” in the MFA’s Eunice and Julian Cohen Galleria. The photography, video and sculpture included in her exhibition were captured or inspired by her travels to Antarctica, funded by her 2017 SMFA Traveling Fellowship grant. The next SMFA Traveling Fellow to display artwork at the MFA will do so in fall 2020 as part of this collaborative series. Founded on February 4, 1870, the MFA stands on the historic homelands of the Massachusett people, a site which has long served as a place of meeting and exchange among different nations. The museum opened its doors to the public on July 4, 1876—the nation’s centennial—at its original location in Copley Square. Over the next several decades, the MFA’s collection and visitation grew exponentially, and in 1909, the museum moved to its current home on Huntington Avenue. Today, the MFA houses a global collection encompassing nearly 500,000 works of art, from ancient to contemporary, and welcomes approximately 1.2 million visitors each year to celebrate the human experience through art as well as innovative exhibitions and programs. In 2017, Matthew Teitelbaum, the 11th director in the MFA’s history, unveiled “MFA 2020,” a three-year strategic plan that articulated a forward-looking vision for the museum to become an institution of the moment and more connected to the community. The spirit of collaboration and engagement at the core of “MFA 2020” has been brought to life over the past three years through the implementation of more than 50 initiatives, the full slate of which will be realized during the museum’s 150th anniversary year.

Electricity. A form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current. It was first discovered by Benjamin Franklin in 1752 and, since then, has gone on to assist in the creation of countless new inventions and has become a basic necessity for life in the 21st century. In Lebanon, however, we are bracing up for cold or no showers, dark nights at candlelight and taking the stairs, as the state-owned Electricity of Lebanon is chronically underfunded and can’t provide electricity, neighborhood generator owners ration fuel and the Lebanese spend hours lining up at gas stations for their daily dose of gas. Hello! Welcome to NOW’s weekly briefing on what the hell is happening in Lebanon. It’s not everything that you need to know, but it’ll hopefully bring to your attention some reads and listens that may help you make more sense of our daily ordeal. Here comes the savior: Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah called on the Lebanese government on Tuesday to import fuel from Iran and disregard the US imposed embargoes on Tehran, if the “humiliating” shortages continue. Or else, Hezbollah will take control of the whole fuel trade with Tehran. A river of milk and honey…uhm fuel: “We, within Hezbollah, will go to Iran, negotiate with the Iranian government… and buy vessels full of petrol and fuel oil and bring them to Beirut port,” Nasrallah said, in his speech dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Hezbollah’s television channel Al Manar. Iraq took the lead, however, approving on Tuesday to double the amount of fuel sent to Lebanon to one million tons, which is half of Lebanon’s needs. Two decades after the Israeli withdrawal: Hezbollah remains a super political actor in Lebanon dividing the political scene into its friends and its foes, despite ideological and political contradictions. Its higher-ups learned important lessons after the 2006 war and focused more on growing their influence over Lebanon’s domestic political system while pushing the Resistance ideas and the Palestinian cause to the side as its fighters supported Syria’s President Bashar al Assad.. Nic Frakes spoke to several analysts for a look at where Hezbollah is today. Lights (and elevators) off: The Head of the Lebanese Association of Power Generator Owners, Abdo Saadeh, announced in an interview to Asharq el-Awsat on Sunday that electricity rationing will rise to five hours a day starting next week. Generator owners complain that the state supply of electricity is dwindling from one day to the other, as generators are pushed to function longer hours. Two days before his announcement, Electricity of Lebanon had issued a public apology for the upcoming increased power cuts, blaming the government for not providing the necessary funds to buy fuel. Well, that did (almost) nothing: The Lebanese government announced that President Michel Aoun cleared a $197m loan to Electricite du Liban so that the state electricity company can buy more fuel amid the more frequent power cuts. This will hopefully return the amount of electricity provided back to the normal three-hour cuts per day in Beirut. But this is only a temporary solution. As energy consultant Jessica Obeid told NOW a little over a week ago, “every two months there is going to be a huge threat of a blackout which the government is going to use as a sense of urgency to deplete more funds and tap into more foreign currency reserves.” One piece of good news: A European diplomatic source told Asharq al -Awsat on Tuesday that Paris has informed Lebanese leaders that the parliamentary polls are to be held on time in May 2022, before the end of the current parliament’s mandate. The source stressed that the dispute over the electoral law would not hinder the elections, which are the mandatory path to re-establishing authority in Lebanon. But the complicated Lebanese electoral system favors the dominant sectarian factions is a primary obstacle for the new political movements to gain traction and win seats in the parliamentary, Fadia Kiwan, a political science professor at St. Joseph University in Beirut explained in this in-depth piece on new political movements in Lebanon. Speaking of France: Central Bank chief Riad Salame is having a tough year. In addition to being investigated by Swiss authorities for alleged money laundering and embezzlement, France has now opened a probe into whether Salame laundered money and questioning his association with an organized criminal group. The BDL head refutes the claims and says that they are all politically motivated. Living on the edge: Last week, the Shura Council ruled that circular 151, which allows people with dollar accounts to withdraw their money at a rate designated by the Central bank (currently it is 3,900LBP/US $), needs to be revoked and that people should either get their money in dollars or at the official rate. For the first couple of days, there was no response from the Central Bank. Until last Wednesday, when they announced suddenly late at night that they were reversing the circular and that people could get their money out at the 1,500 rate. Now, the lira currently sits at around 13,500-14,500 on the black market, so the official rate is kind of meaningless and would only force people into further poverty. So a group of people blocked the Ring Bridge. Small roadblocks were also erected in Jal El Dib and Antelias. The next day, President Aoun met with Salame and the head of the Shura Council to discuss the decision. After the meeting, Salame announced that the 3,900 rate is here to stay. Giving them the empty pockets routine: After more than a decade, it appears that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon might be shutting its doors. Not because they’ve finished their job, but because there isn’t any money to keep the lights on. The court was originally founded to investigate the 2005 assassination of former Primer Minister Rafik Hariri and 21 other suspects as well as the attempted assassinations of others in the wake of Hariri’s killing. The court is funded by both Lebanon and the international community with Lebanon footing 49 percent of the bill. But, as Lebanon is in the midst of an economic crisis, they don’t really have the money to keep funding the court. So, Lebanon went to the UN and asked them to keep the funding going so that the court could continue its work. The court, though, said that they were canceling the trial of Salim Ayyash, the only person found guilty of Hariri’s killing, and for the attempted assassination of three politicians, due to a lack of funds. The case was meant to commence on June 16. Lebanon+: We know that you don’t always want to read long articles, so we have the latest podcast episodes from some of your favorites shows as well as other fun stuff that you might have missed. The Beirut Banyan just published its 263 episode and this was a good one. This week, Ronnie Chatah sat down with Ali Baroudi from Minteshreen to discuss everything from Baroudi’s time in prison to Hezbollah to what the future looks like for the new opposition parties. Most importantly though, they discuss how to communicate with people, especially when they have conflicting views. So sit back and let Chatah’s soothing voice take you on a journey. If you want to hear him again talking to our head of Social Media Tala Ramadan, check out the first episode of a mini-series on reading, The Written Word. This week’s talk discussed AI. The Lebanese Politics Podcast also released a new episode with Ben Redd and Timour Azhari hosting this week. They were joined by L’Orient Today banking and finance journalist Omar Tamo. In addition to their normal updates on what is happening in Lebanon, the three broke down what is happening with the central bank and what all of this means for the average depositor. If you enjoy political drawings, then you are going to love the Art of Boo‘s recent sketch depicting a man doing a bench press with another spotting him. The caption says that there are only 241 days left until Lebanon surpasses Belgium for the record of longest time without a government. Beyond Politics is back this week and host Luna Safwan is going to be speaking with journalist, author, and feminist Joumana Hadad about women in Lebanon. The show will be going live on Instagram this Thursday at 7 pm Lebanon time. Meanwhile, Lebanon’s social media sphere commemorates ten months since the Beirut Port explosion that killed 200 and wounded thousands. The inquiry saw a first investigator fired because his house was affected by the blast and the only result it produced so far was the certitude that it wasn’t a bombing or an attack. That is all for this week. Stay safe, wear a mask and stay cool (when you have electricity that is)! Oh, and avoid elevators!

'Logistics for Europe' Initiative Becomes European Following the launch of the website ‘Logistics for Europe’ in August last year by the German Freight Forwarders’ Association DSLV, today the baton was passed to CLECAT, the European Freight Forwarders’ Association. The initiative has received the full support of the wider European freight forwarders’ community. Since the launch of the website last year, more than 130 companies and associations in Germany gave their support to the industry campaign which emphasises the importance of the European Union for society and economy, while advocating the need of a border-free Europe. Commenting on the initiative, CLECAT's Director General Nicolette van der Jagt said: 'Those who believe that the solution to social and economic challenges in Europe would entail turning away from the common European idea and returning to nation-state protectionism must not be left to their own devices. Instead, business needs a stronger Europe through further opening of markets and harmonisation, as well as removing barriers instead of creating new ones. Creating a fully integrated transport sector will translate into improved logistics chains, greater environmental sustainability, enhanced internal cohesion and increased competitiveness of the EU on the global stage. Europe is the world’s most globally connected region and a leader in trade flows and the movement of people. The EU should continue to lead the way by remaining a world champion of open and free trade, as well as an engine for growth.' DSLV’s Director General Frank Huster added: 'Our members feel strongly about the need for a Single Market without import restrictions, customs formalities and border controls. Before the establishment of the European Union, the logistics sector was faced with countless hours of waiting time at the borders due to the significant amount of formalities that had to be taken care of. Through the free movement of goods and the freedom of establishment in the EU, transport companies and their clients can avoid high administrative burdens and expensive waiting times, which ultimately results in a benefit for the consumer.' Companies and associations supporting the cause and setting a sign for an open Europe are invited to provide their logo to the initiative through this link.

Nuno Santos is a Portuguese musician and adventurer that has been playing his violin for over 15 years on some of the most challenging environments around the planet. From big waves to high mountains, A Violin in the most unlikely places is a project of musical & natural exploration that has gained international notoriety for the unlikely combination of adventure, art & culture. It's a project with a unique concept of performance in art & nature that enhances the importance of creativity and differentiation This disruptive approach contrasts the fragility of a violin with the hostility of oceans & mountains, translating, metaphorically, the balance between opposites. “It’s all about mountains: liquid or solid, they bring the best of me on different levels. Playing the violin in big waves or on high mountains is, most of all, a way to combine passions and to bring the best of me to achieve them. It’s the way I found to apply all my passion, knowledge & experience into one single achievement. Ultimately, it means remaining calm and confident in stressful and demanding situations, in a way I can play meaningful music. More than achieving records or marks, it’s about becoming a better person along the way.” With an academic background in Sport Sciences, Nuno pursued an academic career for 10 years. However, a strong call for musical & natural exploration as well as the need for a more practical application of knowledge drew him back into the wild. Nuno currently focus is work between music production for concerts and documentaries, motivational talks and musical & natural exploration in unlikely settings.

Make email marketing a priority Email marketing is essential for building great customer relationships from the start Email marketing should come first Ready to start-up a business? Need to expand your customer base? Nothing is more potent than the ability to send an email directly to a new or potential customer. This is why you should focus on your email strategy before all other marketing and advertising. Many clever online businesses set-up an email capture form on their website before the site is ready to launch because it’s proven to work. The Motley Fool reports that “email marketing yields the highest return on investment (ROI) for the past 10 years. It also has the highest conversion rate (66%) for purchases made in response to promotional messages.” Wow! Let’s look at how to go about doing email marketing right with some basics. Other reasons to get started with email marketing first - You don’t have to spend a lot of money - You don’t need a lot of time to set it up - Your best customers will help you grow your business Connect through your network We’re in this life together and we also grow together. We’re not alone facing the challenges of each day. We’re a neighborhood and a community. Tap into the powerful network of people who want to help each other. Your customers are the best way to connect with your next best customer. It’s very natural for people to want to help. With email marketing, you can make it easy for your network to help you. Encourage them to forward your message to friends who may have an interest in what you offer. Use email subscription services Email services take the chore out of staying in touch. They have free starter templates that look great on mobile devices, which is where you will communicate with at least half of your customers. Email subscription services also integrate with social media, which is a huge time saver. When you set up email marketing, you’ll be able to keep track of who is new on the list and who doesn’t want to hear from you. You’ll be able to split your contacts into targeted lists. This is helpful if you want to personalize different products and services, or if you want to test your message before you buy advertising. Follow CAN-SPAM rules Remember: You must get permission from a customer to send an email solicitation or even a receipt. It’s the law. Email marketing services follow federal CAN-SPAM laws with unsubscribe links and other features that are hard to do with a regular email account. Get those email addresses Now that we’ve covered the why, here are three low-tech ways to get your customer’s email address: - Put a sheet on a clipboard by your checkout - Have a bowl by checkout to collect business cards - Write a note at the bottom of your receipts with your contact email and call attention to it - Ask in person! Once you get your website up and running, here are options for gathering email addresses: - Add required fields on sign-up and receipt forms on your website - Put an email form pop-up on the homepage page of your website Email lists can be purchased, but buyer beware. These contacts are rented to you. You also risk reaching people who do not know you and may not be interested in your product or service. Try to get customer referrals because they are more likely to support your business. What to say in your emails Don’t write about what you’re selling. Instead, focus on giving customers what they want. Use the word “you” and not “we” to make the message more meaningful to them. Let customers and clients know when you have new product offerings or services and of course…sales! Be creative. - If you’re running a beauty business, stay in touch with a beauty tip. - If you’re running a bakery, share a recipe. - If you’re running an interior design business, write about livening up your home this season. You get the idea…now come up with your own ways to give your customers something they care about. Let them know if you make a big business change, such as adding outdoor dining, or hiring someone new. Talk about the neighborhood. It’s also good business to invite feedback, suggestions, and reviews. Don’t forget to sum up your offer in a call-to-action. Be clear about what you want them to do at the end of the email. Strike the right tone Write to your best customers the same way you speak to them to strike the right tone. Start by wishing them well or by commenting on something positive. End by thanking them for their business. Be authentic. Be you. Keep it short People are busy, especially in the New York Tri-State. The recommended length of an email is under 200 words. Make it easy to scan with short, bolded sub-headers (like in this blog). This way, people can skim your message in an instant. Maintain your email list Don’t stop at 50 email contacts. Don’t stop at 500 – keep going. People drop off email lists all the time. You must continue to ask your customers to join to keep your contact list growing. If there’s value for them in what you are sharing, they will be more than happy to sign up.

With the following data protection declaration we would like to explain to you which types of your personal data (hereinafter also referred to as "data") we process, for what purposes and to what extent the provision of our services and in particular on our websites, in mobile applications and within external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as "online offer"). The terms used are not gender specific. As of September 13, 2021 The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects. Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Furthermore, if more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of this in the data protection declaration. National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes in particular the law on the protection against misuse of personal data during data processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). The BDSG contains in particular special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right of objection, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. It also regulates data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states can be applied. We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, ensuring availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the threat to the data. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings. As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or they are disclosed to them. The recipients of this data can include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such a case, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data. Insofar as we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, offices or companies takes place, this is only done in accordance with the legal requirements. Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process or have the data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, Information page of the EU Commission). The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consents allowed for processing are revoked or other permissions are no longer applicable (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data is no longer applicable or is not required for the purpose). If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. Our data protection information may also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data, which have priority for the respective processing. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored on the user's computer by a browser. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offer. The stored information can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart or the location where a video was viewed. The term cookies also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. if user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as "user IDs") A distinction is made between the following types of cookies and functions: Storage duration: If we do not provide you with any explicit information on the storage duration of permanent cookies (e.g. as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage duration can be up to two years. In order to be able to provide our online offer safely and efficiently, we use the services of one or more web hosting providers from whose servers (or servers managed by them) the online offer can be accessed. For these purposes, we can use infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services as well as security services and technical maintenance services. The data processed as part of the provision of the hosting offer can include all information relating to the users of our online offer that is generated in the context of use and communication. This regularly includes the IP address, which is necessary in order to be able to deliver the content of online offers to browsers, and all entries made within our online offer or from websites. E-mail dispatch and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the dispatch, receipt and storage of e-mails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders as well as other information relating to the sending of e-mails (e.g. the providers involved) and the content of the respective e-mails are processed. The aforementioned data can also be processed for the purpose of recognizing SPAM. We ask you to note that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted on the transport route, but (if no so-called end-to-end encryption method is used) not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of the e-mails between the sender and the receipt on our server. Collection of access data and log files: We (or our web hosting provider) collect data on every access to the server (so-called server log files). The server log files can include the address and name of the websites and files accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a rule, IP Addresses and the requesting provider belong. The server log files can be used on the one hand for security purposes, e.g. to avoid overloading the server (especially in the case of improper attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and on the other hand to ensure the load on the servers and their stability. Used services and service providers: The web analysis (also known as "range measurement") is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offer and can include behavior, interests or demographic information about the visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of the range analysis, we can, for example, recognize at which time our online offer or its functions or content are used most often or invite you to reuse. We can also understand which areas need optimization. In addition to web analysis, we can also use test procedures, e.g. to test and optimize different versions of our online offer or its components. For these purposes, so-called user profiles can be created and stored in a file (so-called "cookie") or similar processes can be used for the same purpose. This information may include content viewed, websites visited and elements and technical information used there, such as the browser used, the computer system used and information on times of use. If users have consented to their location data being collected, this can also be processed, depending on the provider. The IP addresses of the users are also saved. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, no clear user data (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored in the context of web analysis, A / B testing and optimization, but pseudonyms. This means that we and the providers of the software used do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures. Used services and service providers: We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our data protection declaration. We will adapt the data protection declaration as soon as the changes to the data processing carried out by us make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g. consent) or other individual notification. If we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organizations in this data protection declaration, please note that the addresses may change over time and ask you to check the information before contacting us. As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR: This section gives you an overview of the terms used in this data protection declaration. Many of the terms are taken from the law and primarily defined in Art. 4 GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. In contrast, the following explanations are primarily intended to aid understanding. The terms are sorted alphabetically.
