This is a 500g Silver bar of our choice from stock. All bars are 24-carat silver and manufactured from one of the world’s leading refineries. Brands will include Pamp, Metalor, Heraeus, Baird, Credit Suisse, UBS, Umicore. The bars will be pre-owned but remain in excellent condition.
This is an ingenious solution for silver investors. The desire to purchase silver bullion VAT-Free has existed for years now, and now its possible with this bar. The 500g Silver bars provide a high degree of liquidity due to their modest size and standardised format. Depending on the total amount you’re looking to invest, it may be worth combining these bars with the larger ones we offer in the same VAT-Free series to average your cost per kilo down (Better prices per kilo come with larger bars). Those include the 1kg silver bar and the huge 5kg silver bar. If Capital Gains Tax is a consideration, then it’s definitely worth contemplating adding UK Silver coins to the mix. Buying Silver Britannias adds further divisibility to your portfolio, as each coin weighs a mere 1oz, and as UK legal, any profits on these coins are free from CGT.

After a relatively mild fall in Loveland, temperatures plummeted in November, with nighttime lows dipping into the teens and 20s, or even lower, as was the case this week.
Unsurprisingly, that led to a noticeable increase in people seeking overnight shelter at the Loveland Resource Center, which can sleep up to 40 people, when everything is functioning.
But cold is far from the only danger facing the city’s unhoused population. In the past several weeks, there have been at least four deaths of homeless individuals due to long-term chronic health problems exacerbated by “living outdoors.”
For Sandra Wright, director of Homeward Alliance, the agency coordinating Loveland’s homeless response, the deaths are a reminder that being unhoused means much more than lacking shelter.
“People who are experiencing homelessness do not live as long,” she said. “Some of the health conditions that are developed are developed from not having that stable shelter, that place to be, not having the stability and that all that offers, in order to be diagnosed early to take your medications or to do whatever.”
According to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the average life expectancy for the unhoused population is 30 years younger than their housed neighbors, or around 47 to 50 years of age. A majority of homeless deaths are accidental, which includes overdoses and exposure, but up to 30% are due to chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or cancer.
“Living outside is hard on the body,” Wright said. “It weakens the immune system, causes inflammation of the body, and there’s heart disease that increases lung issues.”
Substance abuse, a common problem among the unhoused, also leads to poor health outcomes, she added.
At least two of those who died were known to Wright, and had used services in Loveland before. In fact, one man was within weeks of moving into housing at the time of his death, and the other three were working through the process, Wright said.
“There’s incredible sadness in the community,” Wright said. “People are also feeling fearful, because nothing is guaranteed and they’re very aware that when you are experiencing homelessness that you just don’t know.”
She went on to add that there are likely more deaths among the homeless that haven’t been reported. Members drift in and out of the local community with regularity, and some choose to stay away from city services.
“We have people that have exposure every year, and, even the four people that we told you about, that’s just what we know,” Wright said. “We don’t know if someone is not coming back, because of this reason, or because of that reason.”
It is hard to pin down the exact number of homeless in Loveland, but a point-in-time count conducted in January put the figure at 169, with 53 in emergency shelter, 17 in transitional housing, and 116 unsheltered.
In May, Loveland enacted an unauthorized encampment ban, and the city has since removed 93 people from illegal camps in natural areas, according to the most recent public update. Up to eight camps remain, however, and other people are living in vehicles parked on city streets.
Wright is seeing a steady increase in usage at the LRC, especially for its daytime services. People can have mail delivered, do laundry or speak to on-site counselors from SummitStone Health Partners, Volunteers of America or other service providers.
According to the city’s most recent encampment ban update, an average of 51 people per day used such services at the LRC during the week of Thanksgiving, up from an average of 39 during mid-October.
The LRC started offering overnight shelter in September, with 20 to 25 beds. In October, the city added four humanitarian tents, which added another 20 beds.
Unfortunately, the heaters serving those tents have been out of order for the past two weeks, making the recent bout of cold temperatures a challenge for Wright and her staff, when more than 40 people per night sought services. They’ve been able to use local motels for overflow, but only as a temporary solution.
“It’s a roommate situation, no one’s given an entire room by themselves,” she said, explaining that it is not much different from accommodations at the LRC. “There are multiple people in rooms. And it is somewhat done randomly.”
Though it’s not quite working perfectly, Wright is happy with progress at the LRC, and has been heartened to see usage there on a steady upswing.
“It shows that the level of trust of the service is also increasing, which was a real concern for us,” she said. “So many people experiencing homelessness are told no or to prove that they have need. So the fact that so many have engaged with the LRC is incredible and a testament to the consistency and availability of services and the welcoming staff.”

I was impressed with the quick response when my furnace quit working and they worked me in to replace it. The crew that installed it worked well together and were very efficient making sure that they installed it the best way possible. I would also like to thank Scott Crawford for his help. This is my first experience with Shanklin. I have already recommended them to others.
Everybody from Scott who did maintenance on my furnace, to Kip who came out to give an estimate, to the install team were just a pleasure to work with. They explained everything clearly and the install team did the installation within the estimated time and cleaned up everything when they were done. I will tell all my friends that if they need an HVAC company – call Shanklin.
Fast, friendly and reasonable. We have had the pleasure of dealing with Shanklin for the last two years. They have proven to be knowledgeable and very easy to deal with. Had an emergency call today and Brian E. was here quick and had the problem solved in minutes. I recommend them without reservation. Thanks for the great service Brian and Shanklin Heating!!!!!
Just a few days after my original inquiry to Derek, a service tech (Scott C) inspected my furnace and clearly explained the issues with my old furnace, and the options for a replacement. He stated that my furnace was safe, but due to several issues was inefficient. I did not feel pressured to make a purchase. Installation was scheduled at the time of inspection, and a firm estimate was provided. The installation team (which included Matt) was efficient, neat, informative and left the area cleaner than they found it. The pricing was VERY fair and I would recommend this family owned, local business to anyone! I could not be more pleased with the staff and product provided by this company.
We just had a geothermal unit installed by Shanklin and we had a fantastic experience with this wonderful company. Not only are they are great at what they do, but they are great people to work with. Kip was very helpful in discussing the actual unit and how it works in language we could easily understand. The crew that did the installation arrived on time, did a great job, and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. We are confident that we made the right decision and would recommend them to anyone!

Presented to G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in September 2015, this report is about the relationship between corporate governance and corporate access to capital markets with a focus on growth companies that have the potential to escape a static state of being an SME. It provides an extensive empirical overview of how corporations enter and use public equity markets and corporate bond markets.
The G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance provide recommendations for national policymakers on shareholder rights, executive remuneration, financial disclosure, the behaviour of institutional investors and how stock markets should function.
This factbook describes corporate governance practices in OECD countries as well as Argentina; Brazil; Hong Kong, China; India; Indonesia; Lithuania; Saudi Arabia; and, Singapore. It provides an easily accessible and up-to-date, factual underpinning for understanding countries’ institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks, and to support their implementation of good corporate governance practices.
OECD Corporate Governance Working Paper No.17. This report examines the influence of institutional shareholders and their activities towards good corporate governance, the historical changes to practices within shareholder meetings and the role that institutional shareholders have played in the improvement of corporate governance within Japanese listed companies.
This report evaluates the corporate governance framework for the Colombian state-owned enterprise sector relative to the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises. The report was prepared at the request of the Republic of Colombia. It is based on a review involving all OECD countries.
First adopted in 2005 as an internationally-agreed standard on how governments should exercise ownership of SOEs, the Guidelines were updated in 2015 to take into account developments since their adoption and the experiences of the countries using them.
The OECD updated the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance to ensure their continuing high quality, relevance and usefulness, taking into account recent developments in the corporate sector and capital markets.
Ces révisions ont été engagées en 2014 et sont tout près d’être achevées. Les textes des projets révisés de Principes et de Lignes directrices devraient être approuvés par le Comité sur la gouvernance d’entreprise en mai 2015.
The fourth meeting of the Latin American Network on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises focused on the accountability and transparency of SOEs in Latin America.

Neighbours of Ecole Willows Elementary school are concerned about parking and green spaces after hearing about potential plans to add more portables.
Michael and Sue Yakubowich were disappointed they weren’t given prior notice of a presentation SD61 gave to the school community on Jan. 24 because they weren’t able to voice their concerns or ask questions.
“We don’t have parking, and there’s so many issues taking away school green spaces,” Michael Yakubowich said. “The community should be involved, especially next door neighbours.”
Yakubowich thinks there needs to be more communication with the broader community. He noted sites such as the old Richmond or Uplands schools could work better — even adding something into the Carnarvon Park updates.
“This isn’t a short term decision. Why knee-jerk when the money’s there when they should be planning for the future,” Yakubowich said. “Why are you taking away green space when you have viable schools and viable space? Kids should not be in portables, it’s just that simple. Making the school grounds into a trailer park is making an eyesore.”
The Yakubowich family spent 14 years with the Willows PAC while their children went through the local schools.

Build Guide by
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build is designed to have Akali have extremely high early game damage and make her extremely balanced at end game to where she can still put out massive amounts of damage, but she can clear lanes in seconds and solo a turret in under 6 seconds. The point for not continuing to an AP of lets say 650+, is that anything you can kill quickly, you will still be able to kill quickly with 450. The difference is that tanks and the such, which you can't kill quickly with a pure AP build, or a group that has a lot of CC's you will need to rely more on auto attacks.
You may wonder why I use Armor Penetration instead of Magic Penetration. Play a few rounds as Akali and go back to review the match. You will find that a much higher percentage of your damage is in the form of physical, even if your high AP. These runes are designed to get you kills very early and very often. Plus you get more bang for your buck with Armor Penetration vice Magic Penetration. Armor, for the reason noted above, is extremely essential early game. If you play Akali right only Fighters, Tanks and the such will give you any amount of trouble early, Champions that will be auto-attacking you, or their abilities are mainly physical. Champions such as Karthus, Ashe, Ezreal, Ryze, Tristana, Janna...... you get the picture, are extremely easy for Akali to kill without much risk to her, so you really don't need to worry about added protection early. Also, once again you get more bang for your buck with Armor.
Ability Power is quite obvious, you want that passive unlocked right away. The attack damage passive can be useful, but any situation where you would need the spell vamp to survive, you shouldn't have been in to begin with.
I'm not going to go into these really, it's designed to give you high damage output right off the bat.
Ignite and Exhaust are the only two spells you should be using as Akali. Your job is the kill Champions, right off the bat. Any ability you need to run from the fight, such as Ghost or Flash, means that you are playing Akali completely wrong. Your ultimate is a Flash for the most part. If you really need to run away and can't, run towards their base, then Shadow Dance back to a minion. Heal? Once again, if you need it, you shouldn't have been in the fight.
Items and Gameplay
Buy the Tome first before Boots. By the time you need to start chasing you will be able to afford the Boots easy. You goal is to level Mark of the Assassin as fast as you can. Keep on the move and use your Shroud at level 2 to harass your enemy with Marks.
Before I forget and get too far in, once you have a good grip with Akali, you need to be midding. Let me say it again, YOU SHOULD BE GOING MID. Very few champions will be able to kill as early and often as a well played Akali mid. The only instance you should hesitate going mid is against characters like Cho. You will not be able to do enough damage to make it worth while going mid. A mid that doesn't kill the other mid is JUST as bad as a mid that dies. Characters such as Sivir and Caitlyn might give you hesitation as well, you should be able to kill them if you play right, but it might take you a bit longer.
Once you hit level 6 it should be time to buy your boots. Handle any business at the time then head back, get your boots and during that time your ultimate will power up.
Around level 9 and 10, assuming you haven't died more than once, you should have a few kills under your built and well into completing your Deathcap. Once you have your Deathcap you should have a teammate, one who can handle the mid being 2 levels higher than them, hold down mid. Now it is ganking time. Pick the lane with the squishier champions and get your ganks in. Also if you have time before this while your mid after kills and have the health, go top or bottom and get a gank in.
Get Red Buff as often as you can.
Deathcap is extremely necessary as early as you can get it. Champions will be defenseless against you early in the game, even tanks. Lich Bane is a must next because you need the extra damage on your auto attacks. With just the two items you should be around 300 AP. When attacking champions after your Lich Bane you should be trying to auto attack in between every ability if possible. If it is going to take your more than an instant to kill them and you aren't worrying about getting jumped right after the fight, drop your shroud as soon as you ulti in to make sure they don't get away. Otherwise save it for after to make sure you get away from the coming attacks easily.
As said before, we don't continue with our AP build from here. Phantom Dancer is a must because it will allow you to clear lanes quickly and take down turrets quickly when grouped with your Lich Bane.
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN NOTHING BUT GANKING.
Unless you are leveling quickly because you just have so many kills, in which case expect the team to surrender early, you need to be solo clearing lanes as much as often to keep the gold coming in quickly and your level going up quickly. As Akali you want to try to remain a higher level than the other team to be the most effective. Also notice your movement speed at this point, you will be able to run across the map in a flash.
At this point of the game we get into our situational items.
Your fifth item is a choice between Madred's Bloodrazor, Hextech Gunblade or Rylai's Scepter.
Madred's Bloodrazor is a must against a team with more than one tank, or a team with CC's. The bonus attack speed plus the passive of 4% a targets hp per hit means you can take out a tank quickly. It takes a maximum of 25 hits to kill anything with a Bloodrazor. With your attack speed being close to 2 hit a second and add to that all the extra damage you will be doing with your abilities, then mathematically you can take out a tank in about 6-8 seconds.
Hextech Gunblade is bought if you aren't really meeting too much resistance and can just continue with what you are doing to make yourself just generally more powerful. With both items you will be able to solo a turret in under 6 seconds.
Rylai's Scepter is bought if you find yourself getting killed right before the right ends and need that little bit of HP boost plus the AP to do a little more.
I don't list a sixth item because there is simply too many different situations for it if you make it to this point. You could buy another Phantom Dancer to sneak attack a teams base before they can make it back, you can get massively more HP to be slightly more tankish, you can get an all around boost with Trinity. There is simply too many options to list.
I tried to be as clear as I could with this build and put in a lot of detail. If there is anything you are wanting more detail on, let me know and I will include it.

I am a biblical scholar and historian of the early Christian period. I have an undergraduate degree in Music, graduate degrees in Comparative Literature and Classical Studies, and a Ph.D. in Religious Studies, specializing in the New Testament and early Christianity. I am currently a visiting assistant professor at the University of Houston where I teach a variety of religious studies courses [sample syllabi here] and the Honors College’s core great-books course, the Human Situation.
As is quite apparent, my educational formation took a variety of turns, most of which is not even visible from the list of degrees mentioned above. It was not until after my bachelor’s degree in Music (classical guitar), that I became an avid reader. At first my interests were in reading comparative mythology, Jungian psychology, books on Buddhism, Taoism, Mohammedanism, the occult, Greek philosophy and literature, ancient Near Eastern myth and history, quantum physics…. and of course, Nietzsche.
It soon became clear that my interests were crystalizing around the fields of comparative mythology and religion, so I decided to pursue an M.A. degree in Comparative Literature at Indiana University. There my interests took on new directions. I became interested in philosophies or methodologies of interpretation, French literature, and Christian medieval literature and allegory, which I decided to major in. Other interests were also brewing which led me to pursue other M.A. degrees. I was fascinated with Greco-Roman literature and philosophy, but more so with its religions, and I became more and more interested in the religious and literary life of the 1st century BC to the 3rd century AD. It was only natural at this point to add early Christianity into the mix. I learned Greek, read (and reread) the New Testament in Greek, and soon found myself interested in the Jesus movement and Christian origins in their Greco-Roman religious, political, and literary contexts. I also became interested in how interpretive traditions were formed and their relationship with the texts they purport to interpret. I was discovering how, in one sense, the emerging Christian movement was a series of complex interpretive processes, wherein texts were being written to reinterpret early texts, or even historical events, and these texts were then also subjected to re-interpretations, and these to yet further re-interpretations, and this goes on and on, and is still going on and on and on…. Nietzsche himself had proposed that history progresses through a series of interpretive—often mis-interpretive—processes. It was now all becoming vaguely clear to me. This interplay between text and interpretive tradition soon became the foundation of many of my current interests. I will spend much time blogging about this and how it figures into both the making of the Bible and how the Bible is perceived by today’s public.
The paradigm in biblical studies had shifted while I was a graduate student, from looking at the early Christian movement in the context of the Greco-Roman world to looking at, and rightfully so, understanding, Jesus, Paul, and the early Christian movement within the context of late Judaism (2nd c. BC–1st c. AD). In honesty, this shift had already started with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947. As a student of early Christianity, I was initially surprised to learn, as you might be too, that messiah, resurrection, day of judgement, holy spirit, and son of God were all Jewish ideas [the latter also prevalent in the Roman imperial cult (I hope to write about this topic at a later date)], which were quite pronounced in the Judaism prior to and during Jesus’ own era. That was it for me. I was hooked. I became increasingly interested in Jewish apocalypticism, Jewish messianism, Jewish literature of the intertestamental period, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Jewish historian Josephus, Philo of Alexandria’s philosophical reinterpretation of Hebrew scripture, and the phenomenon of martyrdom which extending itself throughout this time period, from those recounted in the book of Daniel and the books of the Maccabees (circa the 160s BC) to those in the book of Revelation and beyond. Recalling my earlier interest in the phenomenon of interpretation, I soon began to see that each one of these texts grappled with making sense of their world through the process of reinterpreting, perhaps even reinventing, the past. The past was re-presented, in other words, through various interpretive guises in order to address the concerns, hopes, and fears of specific historical communities.
With this growing interest, I decided to abandon my Ph.D. in Medieval literature and go for one in Religious studies, except I now found myself living in France! So I did a Ph.D. in French (I would not suggest this to anyone!!) at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, then a part of the Sorbonne, and wrote my dissertation on Paul’s Old Testament interpretive method: “Τύπος et typologie dans le christianisme ancien. Une critique de l’image de Paul comme fondateur de l’exégèse typologique.” And voila! I was now Dr. DiMattei! — by no means was this as easy and spontaneous as I make it sound here (plein de souffrance, à vérité).
This was by no means the end of my education; in fact I could say that it was merely the beginning. My interests were still growing. I continued to read the voluminous secondary literature on Paul and managed to pump out a few scholarly articles on Paul’ scriptural hermeneutic for my colleagues [see here], but I also got involved and interested in historical Jesus research. What is that, you ask? I hope to return to this subject in the future and blog about it, but meanwhile you can check out the syllabus for the Historical Jesus course I created here and gather an idea of what it’s all about.
So Paul, Jesus, the Gospels, and the Judaism of the first-century became the staples of my existence. Yet I was to take another turn, one that brought me to my current projects working with the Old Testament, or the Hebrew Bible as some of my colleagues prefer. These interests culminated around a quest to learn about the compositional nature of the Bible, how it came to be, and who wrote the texts that eventually were stitched together in what later generations labeled “the Bible.” I have already outlined these interests in my Welcome page, which you can reread here. So it is here, at this juncture of my ever-expanding quest for everything biblical(!), that I now find myself a blogger….

These are exciting times for astronomy lovers. Not only are missions underway on Mars and the Moon that will bring new information. The launch of the most powerful telescope in history is also big news. At last, the James Webb telescope is fully deployed.
It is a new milestone on its way to writing history. It has completed its deployment just over two weeks after being launched.
And that is because on January 8, the telescope opened the second of its two wings mirror. It signals the end of its full deployment. The best part is that it can be seen on video. It has been displayed by mission operations control, located in Baltimore. It is an animation based on telemetry sent by the telescope’s sensors in real time.
Prior to this, the telescope performed a sequence of some complex operations. These included the deployment of its solar shield. This reaches the size of a tennis court. It consists of five extremely thin layers of kapton coated with aluminum. This protects the sensitive parts of the telescope from the heat generated by the sun’s rays.
Looking in infrared
Now, the James Webb telescope was fully deployed. It was created by NASA in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA). The Canadian Space Agency also collaborated. Its development took about 20 years. In five more years they did all the necessary tests before launching it into space. Its total cost amounts to about 10 billion dollars.
what is the difference with its predecessor, the celebrated Hubble? The James Webb will make observations in the infrared spectrum. It can look deeper into the universe and make never-before-seen findings.

A Night of Career-Training Role Play
Professionals from College Board and other corporations partner with the nonprofit Braven to prepare college students to land strong jobs after graduation
Beaming, anxious faces popped into my Zoom feed, one after another, for more than three hours. They were first-generation students, low-income students, or students of color from the Braven Accelerator Course at Lehman College, in the Bronx, here to practice interviewing for a job. They carried big dreams—of becoming nurses, teachers, environmental scientists—and very different life stories—a single mom, a caretaker for ailing parents, a full-time student holding down multiple jobs to pay tuition.
But they all had something in common: the hope of a strong start to their careers after graduation. The odds, though, are not in their favor. Before the pandemic, only 30% of underrepresented college students landed a solid first job or enrolled in graduate school.
That’s where Braven comes in. Launched in 2014 as a boot camp at San José State University, the nonprofit has grown into a national program to transition promising, underrepresented students from college to strong first jobs. (Braven defines “strong first job” as one that requires a bachelor’s degree, is full-time, and includes some combination of competitive starting salary, benefits, and advancement opportunities or entry into grad school.)
The organization’s model centers around the Braven Accelerator Course, which provides coaching and guidance through online content to prepare them to enter the workforce. After it ends, enrolled students are provided with one-on-one mentoring, access to a jobs board, and career preparation. Braven’s higher education program began with 17 students at one Bay Area school; it now boasts 4,500 Fellows from colleges and universities in New York, Newark, Atlanta, and Chicago, as well as San José.
It’s a model that works. In 2021, 680 Braven Fellows graduated from college and 61% landed a strong job or entered graduate school, outpacing their peers by 16 percentage points within six months of graduation. Giving Fellows real-world job search experience through mock interviews with professionals and mentors has been a key factor in that success.
“Many Fellows tell me it is the best night of the semester,” said Kilsys Payamps-Roure, Braven’s New York City executive director, “and that they feel more ready than ever for the job market.”
Along with 18 of my College Board colleagues, I saw the benefits of Braven’s program when we filled the role of potential employer to help students build the confidence to secure strong jobs after graduation. The session, which took place March 23, was hosted by College Board Cares, a philanthropic initiative that began in 2017 to connect College Board to nonprofit partners like Braven who share a mission of improving the lives of young people.
College Board volunteers were joined by dozens of others from Credit Suisse, LinkedIn, UBS, and other corporate and nonprofit partners who conducted three separate virtual, practice interviews with Braven Fellows. We reviewed resumes, conducted mock interviews, and gave feedback on their “glows” and “grows” (Braven speak for strengths and areas for improvement) during the Zoom sessions and through written evaluations.
“It was an excellent opportunity to face my fears, improve, and understand the things I need to improve to become a solid and confident candidate,” one Fellow said after the event.
It may have all been practice, but what the students had experienced mirrored the real process of a job interview. Fellows were nervous, and sometimes a question caught them off guard and unprepared. (We interviewers were urged to get the Fellows to think on their feet.) And real life sometimes intervened—who hasn’t had their child or pet pop into their camera shot at some ill-timed moment during the last two years? But they were deeply passionate about their chosen fields, ready to take in the feedback, and committed to getting better.
“My biggest takeaway was that the young people I met with felt like they were the only students who were nervous about interviewing, talking about their skills and qualifications, or needing time to think through their answers,” said Allison Danielsen, executive director of BigFuture Careers and Partnerships at College Board. “Normalizing the stress of this process feels like an opportunity we could address at the College Board, given our reach.”
Even the event itself demonstrated how Braven works to improve access. By leveraging powerful virtual tools that became ubiquitous during the pandemic, the organization connects students with professionals they wouldn’t otherwise be able to meet.
That kind of digital extension resonated with professionals in the session whose work is focused on how to offer college and professional opportunities to as many people as possible.
“I am thinking a lot about how we convene students and caring adults through virtual events for conversations that would be impossible or very challenging to implement at scale in person,” said Richard Green, a senior director for BigFuture Student Engagement at College Board.With the night ending, us professionals wanted to make sure our interviewees left with one final piece of advice.
As first-gen students, students of color, and students juggling multiple responsibilities, they have proven their ability to not only manage challenges but overcome them and reach their goals. Their skills and talent will get them into the interview, but it’s their life stories that will make them rise above.

Ariana Grande’s plastic surgery rumors, notably a nose job, are trending on the internet. Her face looks different as a judge in Season 21 of The Voice in 2021.
Everybody’s face changes as they get older, but certain celebs seem to have changed more dramatically than the rest of us. Fans can’t believe how much Ariana Grande‘s appearance has altered in a short span of time.
This was even more evident when she appeared as a judge on The Voice Season 21. But this wasn’t the first time Grande has faced the heat from online speculators.
So, has Ariana Grande undergone some form of plastic surgery? Without further ado, let’s find out.
Ariana Grande’s Plastic Surgery Speculations Resurface Amid The Voice 2021

Image Source: Weight & Skin
The pop sensation, Ariana Grande, who has been in the public spotlight since 2010, when she starred in Nickelodeon’s Victorious at the age of 16, has changed immensely in the last decade.
During her latest appearance as a judge on The Voice Season 21, some fans questioned whether her makeover is totally natural, which isn’t an entirely new experience for her.
Fans were previously commenting on an Instagram meme, questioning whether Ariana’s facial alterations are the result of plastic surgery.
One fan wrote,
There are still people who believe Ari didn’t get a nose job … it’s so obvious.
Cannot believe thats what Ariana used to look like… HUGE change!
The post compares images of Ariana as a teenager to the celebrity now. Looking at the two pictures, it is evident that her nose appeared broader on her face as a child than it appears now.
However, there is no extensive proof in the post suggesting the pop artist had a nose job to decrease the width of her nose – especially given that many individual’s noses are larger as adolescents than as adults.
Regardless of the fact that Ariana is only 28 years old, many fans reckon she has had work done on her face. According to The Skincare Edit, she underwent both nose surgery and a brow lift.
However, Ariana has frequently denied accusations of plastic surgery. In 2019, she responded to remarks on Twitter alleging her of having a nose job.
The singer wrote,
hayyy this my birth nose what tf did i log onto today lemme have a cute nose damn [sic].
In any case, it appears like Ariana has more pressing matters on her mind than handing a response to plastic surgery allegations. The singer married her partner Dalton Gomez earlier in the year in an intimate ceremony in Montecito.
Ariana Grande Shares Screenshots of Text Exchanges with The Voice Judge Blake Shelton
Ariana Grande included a screenshot of a Blake Shelton text in which she teased about replacing him as a judge on The Voice in the latest Instagram post.
Shelton, 45, forwarded Grande, 28, an OK Magazine article titled “Producers at ‘The Voice’ may replace Blake Shelton after Ariana Grande brings fresh energy.”
In a text exchange with Grande, Shelton wrote:
Thanks a lot, Ari… Thanks a f–king lot…
Grande responded to Shelton’s message with a heart reaction.
The 7 rings hitmaker replaced Nick Jonas as one of the coaches on The Voice for season 21. After overcoming Jonas as a voice mentor in the past, Shelton responded to the news by claiming he was relishing this challenge.
According to People magazine, Shelton said at the time:
The easiest defeat of my career was Nick Jonas. So I’m looking for a challenge. I think Ariana could be a challenge. I’m looking forward to beating her though.
As a coach in the reality competition, the country singer has enjoyed seven victories. Ariana, meanwhile, said she’s honored to be a part of The Voice.

One punch can kill, Queensland youths warned
A campaign titled "One Punch Can Kill" is being launched in Queensland today in a bid to prevent senseless violence among young people.
Premier Anna Bligh said the innovative campaign would target Generation Y, with the message that acts of violence can have very serious and damaging effects.
Websites such as MySpace and Facebook will be used to promote the message, as well as radio ads and advertising in pubs and clubs.
"This campaign is about stopping young people from making split-second decisions which could ruin their lives, or the lives of others," Ms Bligh said.
"Research shows young men in particular, between the age of 15 and 25, are the most likely to be assault victims or offenders.
"The slogan 'One Punch Can Kill' is a reminder of the shocking reality – that simple acts of violence can have tragic consequences.
"Many young people just don't realise what these consequences are, so the campaign outlines the facts for young people to understand."
Sunshine Coast police, community leaders and residents have also been focused on tackling street violence following the death two months ago of 22-year-old Caloundra man Josh Mill and other incidents of involving young people.
The Queensland campaign is the result of recommendations from the government's Youth Violence Task Force, which called for a targeted media strategy to send home the anti-violence message.
The message it will reinforce is that violence can result in:
- Bans on obtaining a passport and travelling overseas.
- A permanent criminal record.
- Emotional trauma for family and friends of both the victim and offender.
Police Minister Judy Spence said the campaign would involve education via the internet, through MySpace, Facebook, Yahoo and Hotmail. There will also be radio ads, and advertising in pubs and clubs.
"We want to engage these young people in an arena that is relevant to them," Ms Spence said.
"Online concepts will include flash banners … to deliver the key message that one punch can kill.
"The campaign focuses on a positive message of choosing options, empowering young people to consider the consequences of their decisions, such as whether to fight or walk away.
"By promoting the fact that it is okay to walk away and look after your mates, we hope to change the attitude of some of today's youth.”
Ms Spence said the government’s research had found young males were highly influenced by the women who surrounded them, such as friends, girlfriends, housemates, siblings and mums.
"So we're also promoting the slogan ‘I support blokes who don't fight’, in the hope girls and women will get on board to influence young men not to respond violently in heated situations.
"We want the community to get behind this campaign, to stop the violence that is ruining young lives."
Commissioner Bob Atkinson said the message would go hand in hand with the Party Safe message.
"We want all young people to have a good start in life, and acts of violence can ruin both victim's and offender's chances of a positive future.”

Ghost stories…we tell them around campfires to awe and entertain. But for those who’ve experienced the truly eerie, they cease to be tales and become haunting reality. The Marquette Harbor Lighthouse is home to its own restless spirit, a young girl who’s been seen staring out the tower window.
“Once we began doing tours up there, strange things began happening, at least the reports from some of our folks giving the tours, to include the imagery, for example, of a young girl looking out the window; another image seen of a young girl on the catwalk,” maritime historian Fred Stonehouse said. “These were seen by different tour folks, under different conditions. Whether they’re seeing something real or something of their imagination, of course, we have no way of knowing.”
“It’s a little girl; her name is Jessie,” Marquette Maritime Museum assistant director Taylor Adams said. “She’s got red hair and green eyes and she’s barefoot. She wears a little Sunday-best dress, looks about from the 1910s or so.”
The little girl’s presence is made all the more eerie by the fact that there is no recorded death of a girl at the lighthouse.
“We did find out that the daughter of one of the lightkeepers was badly injured falling from the rocks, and if there’s an explanation, that might be it,” Stonehouse said. “The young girl was injured just after the turn of the century, but again, whether that’s something that connects the dots or not we simply have no way of knowing. It does add to the lore and the mystery of the Marquette Harbor Light; it does add, I think, a little different twist to the maritime history of the Great Lakes.”
Ghosts don’t always make themselves known to all who come into their domain, and Jessie is no different.
“She’s really attracted to female figures, like motherly figures, and also children; she loves children,” Adams said. “Lots of times you’ll hear her skipping around the lighthouse, and you’ll hear giggles and nobody’s there. She’s a really nice spirit; she’s not threatening at all and she’s kind of nice to have up there.”
We often wonder if supernatural sights and sounds are true ghostly manifestations or just mirages born of our nerves and expectations. Either way, ghost stories offer an insightful and entertaining look at our history and lore.

If you were looking for an article containing Pakistani cricketers fumbling on their English, this post is not for you. Rather than criticising Pakistan cricketers’ verbal skills, we aim to bring up the funny side of Pakistan cricketers on the field.
Here are a few videos which you cannot watch just once-
The one with Umar Akmal’s unnatural flick!
The wicketkeeper-batsman Umar Akmal, who was ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 squad, decided to stay back and explore England & Wales. Akmal tried to earn brownie points by playing with women cricketers at Norway in an exhibition match but little did he know what destiny had in store for him.
Akmal made a fool of himself by taking Isma Ahmed lightly and attempted to flick the harmless ball away. Akmal ended up flicking the ball at his stumps and got out in a hilarious fashion.
The one with Ahmed Shehzad’s celebration fails
Ahmed Shehzad is often compared to Indian skipper Virat Kohli but this video compilation will prove that the comparison was unnecessary as the players are nothing alike. In the clip, Shehzad tries to celebrate a wicket by giving a high-five to his teammate while jumping in the air but ends up falling on the ground. His fall made players laugh in the dugout as well.
The latter part of the video shows Shehzad’s funny celebration after taking a wicket which even made the ‘Universe Boss’ laugh hard.
The one with Javed Miandad’s spot-jumping skills
It was 1992 when Javed Miandad was batting and India’s wicketkeeper Kiran More was trying to sledge the Pakistani batsman. Sachin Tendulkar came to bowl but had to pull out of the delivery because of disturbance from More. For a change, before taking any action, Miandad complained to the on-field Umpire David Shepherd who asked them to get on with the match’s proceedings. The two exchanged a few words between themselves.
Miandad pushes the ball towards mid off and wanted to take a run but was sent back. Miandad was well inside the crease but More dislodged the bails anyways. Miffed with More’s constant sledging, Miandad resorted to what has been one of the most-watched videos of cricketers.
The one with Kamran Akmal’s dropping-spree
Kamran Akmal was booked under match-fixing but before that let’s take a look at the catches he dropped. Danish Kaneria must have had a serious chat after Akmal dropped three catches off his bowling. Even Michael Hussey could not believe that he got three-time lucky after regular catches were put down.
He dropped a catch down the leg side as well off Mohammad Sami’s ball. To top it all he did not take off the bails during a chance for a runout where Shane Watson dived towards the striker’s end.
The one with Inzamam-ul-Haq’s epic fall
Inzamam-ul-Haq tried to paddle sweep the ball from Monty Panesar at Leeds back in 2005-06 season. But, Inzamam found a new way to get out apart from the usual runouts. This time around he fell on the wickets in a bizarre fashion as English cricketers celebrated and laughed. Inzamam has got out in funny ways in the past but this one literally tops the list.
Here are a few bonus videos that did not make the list.
P.S. These videos do not take away the fact that Pakistan cricket has improved at a drastic rate in the previous few years, resulting in ICC Champions Trophy 2017 triumph over India.

Teaching position: Assistant Professor
Experience: In UMF since February 2022
Current teaching activity: Practical activities of Medical Informatics, Biostatistics, and Medical Research Methodology with the students from the first and second year of the Faculty of Medicine and Dental Medicine - Romanian and French section.
Asistent Drd. Ioana-Andreea Gheban-Roșca
Published in Teaching Staff


Kathi Kamleitner – from the Scotland travel blog watchmesee.com – is one of the only women I know who does extended camping and hiking trips solo. So, I asked her on the podcast to see if she could convince us (me?) to take a hiking trip ourself. Listen (or read on) to hear her tops tips for anyone who wants to explore the world, or their country, by hiking solo.
We don’t just talk about hiking solo though – we cover Iceland, the cost of hiking, and why you should see popular places off season.
Kathi and I also talk about making a new place home, our tops tips for making friends in a new place and where to go in Scotland beyond the Isle of Skye and Edinburgh.
I’ve learned what bothying is, and a few documentaries I should check out which cover women doing epic things around the world. But mainly, listen to Kathi’s episode to find out how you can get out there and get hiking, whether it’s just for a few hours, or even a few weeks.
“Statistically it’s more dangerous to live with your partner than it is to go hiking by yourself”
Top tips for hiking solo
(more details on watchmesee.com – LOADS of info on there!)
Kathi hiked 155 miles with around 20kg on her back, for TWO WEEKS!
1. Be prepared
“Your back hurts the first four days and then, it’s just there. If you get a good backpack you carry all the weight on your hips, you don’t have it on your shoulders. And it moves with your movement so it’s almost like you’re not carrying it.”
– Make sure you have all the right equipment – here’s a list of vegan hiking boots to help you in your quest.
2. Don’t worry about what other people think
“Is it safe, what do your parents think, aren’t you going to get bored – as if a 30 year old woman couldn’t hike by themselves.”
3. Trust yourself
“Know how strong you are. Your body can carry you so far. Having those experiences and being allowed to be proud of yourself, gives you a lot of confidence.”
4. Don’t be scared
“Think about all the benefits you can get from it and what are the chances of you having an amazing empowering experience, and what are the chances of meeting a psycho who wants to harm you? When you weigh those two up you can gain so much from having these experiences.”
5. Don’t negatively compare yourself
“Find someone you aspire to and who can teach you the next step and the skills you need”
Details of Kathi’s hiking retreat
Women only hiking retreat around Glencoe in Scotland. You’ll go on two guided hikes.
The price includes:
– Shared accommodation at Blackwater Hostel in Kinlochleven (2 nights in 4-bed en-suite rooms)
– Communal meals: 2x breakfast, 2x dinner
– Guided hikes with Girls on Hills (all-day Saturday, until ~4pm on Sunday)
– Map material
– Evening sessions on route planning, kit preparation, personal reflection and goal setting
“Hiking doesn’t always have to be this crazy adventure.”
“Having a hot bowl of chips would really be a reward at the end of the day.”
Documentaries Kathi mentions
The story of the first ever all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.
Dutch 14-year-old Laura Dekker became the youngest person to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe, in 2012.
Here’s an excerpt and you can click through to the full documentary.
Alone Through Iran
Kristina Paltén, a lone Swedish woman, began her run through Iran on September 5th 2015.
She was to become the first woman ever to run the 1144 miles across Iran.

The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This will always be a special book for me, as the first novel my 7yo asked me to read to her. We do a chapter every night!
The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire #1) is a masterclass in fantasy world-building and character development. Our five young heroes may be familiar if you enjoy certain friendship-based action-adventure cartoons. They each belong to a different dragon tribe, such as SeaWings or NightWings, each with their own unique characteristics and abilities. Yet they’ve also been imprisoned and sheltered from the outside war, knowing little of the waging dragon war going on around them.
Their bond with each other is tested and explored in fun ways, though this novel primarily focuses on Clay the MudWing and Tsunami the SeaWing. We’re eventually introduced to more characters and events in a world ruled by, and ravaged by warring dragon tribes, though it’s a bummer that our heroes spend much of the story under someone’s thumb and reacting to events rather than making choices on their own.
The Dragonet Prophecy tells a satisfying story while expertly teasing future events – the perfect starter book for a grand YA series.

Asia Report N°21612 Dec 2011
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The ability of Pakistan’s radical Islamic parties to mount limited but potentially violent opposition to the government has made democratic reform, and by extension the reduction of religious extremism and development of a more peaceful and stable society, more challenging. This is a reflection of those parties’ well-organised activist base, which is committed to a narrow partisan agenda and willing to defend it through violence. While their electoral support remains limited, earlier Islamisation programs have given them a strong legal and political apparatus that enables them to influence policy far beyond their numerical strength. An analysis of party agendas and organisation, as well as other sources of influence in judicial, political and civil society institutions, is therefore vital to assessing how Pakistan’s main religious parties apply pressure on government, as well as the ability and willingness of the mainstream parties that are moderate on religious issues to resist that pressure.
These parties’ ability to demonstrate support for their various agendas is an expression of coherent internal structures, policymaking processes and relations between the leadership and the rank-and-file. These aspects of party functioning are, therefore, as critical to understanding their role in the polity and prospects of influencing policy in the future as in understanding their relationship to the state.
The Islamic parties that are the subject of this report might operate within the current political order, but their ultimate aim is to replace it with one that is based on narrow, discriminatory interpretations of Islam. They have also taken equivocal positions on militant jihad: on the one hand, they insist on their distinction from militant outfits by virtue of working peacefully and within the democratic system; on the other, they admit to sharing the ideological goal of enforcing Sharia (Islamic law), while maintaining sizeable madrasa and mosque networks that are breeding grounds for many extremist groups.
Moreover, belying their claims of working peacefully, the major Islamic parties maintain militant wings, violent student organisations and ties to extremist groups, and have proved more than willing to achieve political objectives through force. After parlaying military support during the 1980s into significant political and legislative gains, and even absent military support and the electoral assistance that entailed, the parties have still been able to defend earlier gains through intimidation and violent agitation on the streets. In response, faced with their opposition, the mainstream moderate parties have often abandoned promised reforms while in government, or even made further concessions, such as the National Assembly’s constitutional amendment in 1974 declaring the Ahmadi sect non-Muslim.
Such compromises have not offset the pressure of the ulama (religious scholars), as intended, but only emboldened religious hardliners.

This is certainly a case of personal failure. It is also an issue of
security both in the abstract and in concrete terms. There are many

Speaking of personal failures, I'm pretty much unable to comprehend why

MARY ELLEN PALMERI with her painting "Joy" before giving it to the buyer.
Born on the West coast of the US and raised in upstate New York State I now live in the American Southwest near Tucson,
AZ. Making art was my first love
as a child, and art continues to impact my life every day. Although I grew up in a small town I had a lot
of artistic influence from my family; my father loved art & music, one of his brothers was a professional artist, my
mother always encouraged making hand-made gifts and cards, and two of my five sisters are also artists.
Majored in art in high school and college, earning a BS in Art from Nazareth College of Rochester, NY.
Also earned a MS in Education from the same school, which enabled me to balance a teaching profession with my art
while raising my two children. I still enjoy teaching art workshops and love the exchange of inspiration
that always takes place in my classes.

Hi! This is my first post on the new .com!
I have a lot to learn yet about blogging in general, and probably even more about exactly what I want for this blog… I do know that I intend to post at least three times a week (beginning next week), and at the same time begin my career as a freelancer. I’m nervous, but couldn’t be happier to be out from under the thumb of a boss, mandatory lunch breaks and the creative suppression of a grey cubicle.
I’m still trying to figure out how to organize things like blog subscriptions and RSS feeds and frivolous images of myself, so I beg you to bear with me as I get my act together. I will do what I can to make the content somewhat interesting in the meantime.
And so… on this my darling husband’s 32nd birthday (have a happy one, dearest!), I declare myself blogging adult – bladult.
Thanks for reading!

There’s an interesting argument that does the rounds in sporting circles, effectively using soccer to explore an ancient debate: nature versus nurture.
In the corner for nature sits Lionel Messi, the genius Argentinian playmaker, born with athletic gifts that seem utterly unlearnable. In the nurture column is Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese striker renowned for physique and technique built upon indefatigable work.
Both players have legitimate claims to being the best in the world, and that’s the whole point of the discussion: there’s more than one way to be a champion.
Sydney-born boxer George Kambosos jnr toiled in obscurity for years before becoming the lightweight champion of the world in November, and his father, Jim Kambosos, makes no mistake about the source of that success.
“He was born with this mental toughness – I call it the sixth sense in George,” he says. “But he was never skilled. He never had anything special about him – where you see a lot of young kids and you think, ‘Wow, this kid’s amazing.’ It was just the hard work. You couldn’t break him, no matter what age.”
Kambosos was speaking on the latest episode of Good Weekend Talks, about what it’s like to manage the career of his champion son, and to be the father of a fighter. And hosting the discussion is The Sydney Morning Herald chief sports writer Andrew Webster, the author of our cover story this week, “Lord of the ring”.
“I’ve been covering sport for 25 or more years, across a lot of different sports. And I spent some time there, down at George’s gym in [the southern Sydney suburb of] Mortdale,” says Webster. “I have to say, I’ve never seen an athlete do that much work, at that level, and that capacity, in one day, over and over and over again.”
Good Weekend Talks offers readers the chance to delve even deeper each week into Good Weekend’s most intriguing stories, with lively insight from writers, editors and experts. Listen to more episodes by subscribing to Good Weekend Talks wherever you get your podcasts.


text: The two thyme (Thymus vulgaris L. and Thymus serpyllum L.) and three oregano (Origanum vulgare L., Origanum onites L. and Origanum majorana L.) hydrosols, widely used in food products and as drinks, were tested for their inhibitory effects against four pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, E. coli O157:H7 ATCC 33150, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 2392 and Yersinia enterocolitica ATCC 1501). Two principles were used in determining the antibacterial effects of spice hydrosols: inhibition zones were determined by paper disc diffusion method, and the bacteriostatic effects, bactericidal effects and the growth inhibition levels were studied as colony forming units (cfu) in broth cultures. All tested bacteria were inhibited by all of the spice hydrosols using paper disc diffusion method. According to serial dilution method, while all spice hydrosols at 10 and 25 mL/100 mL concentrations had generally bacteriostatic activities, the same hydrosols appeared to have bactericidal effects at concentrations above 50 mL/100 mL. The most sensitive of the bacteria against the spice hydrosols was S. aureus. In addition, the most inhibitive of the spice hydrosols on the four pathogenic bacteria were O. onites L. and O. majorana L. (C) 2003 Swiss Society of Food Science and Technology.
