While these compensation totals are taken from company financial records, they are often estimates driven by companies’ attempts to assess what stock their CEOs might receive. As a result, executives may earn less than these totals, especially if the bear market persists and their companies’ stock prices remain depressed, but they could also earn much larger sums if stocks rally.
Many of the top executives in the survey received far greater compensation than the heads of much larger companies with much larger profits. For example, Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, received his first equity award since 2011 last year and received a total compensation of $99 million, placing him just 13th in the survey.
Despite the pay growth, shareholders, apparently believing it to be performance-related, voted in favor of most packages. According to an analysis of 1,444 public companies by Willis Towers Watson, a consulting firm that advises companies on executive compensation programs and corporate governance issues.
For several years, public companies have had to compare their CEO’s compensation to that of a typical employee, the result of a regulation passed by Congress that was intended to help investors assess the level of executive compensation. Last year, CEOs earned 339 times more than the median employee salary at their companies, up from 311 times in 2020, according to Equilar. The median employee salary rose 10% last year, from $83,808 to $92,349.
Executive pay last year jumped in part because boards of directors, which decide CEO compensation, wanted to reward top executives for guiding their companies through the pandemic.
Additionally, the stock market rallied in 2021 and the value of stock awards, which typically make up the largest portion of executive compensation, was also higher. When stock prices rise, boards tend to say that executives are doing a good job and pay them more.


Big week for the Lords of Tolerance: First came the navel-gazing over whether Tiger Woods’s mistresses were too white, now this. Says MKH of the Times’s gift suggestions, “The gospel cruise is perhaps my favorite offering. Is Michael Scott now editing the New York Times?” Even the lefties at Mediaite are aghast:
NYTPicker, who was the first to note the addition thinks there’s no other word for it but racist. I’m not sure I’m willing to go that far. But badly, terribly thought out, bordering on offensive, absolutely. I suspect what actually happened was somewhere in the editing process someone thought they should figure out some way to work Barack Obama (he’s done well for them before!) into the mix and then extended it to Sotomayor and voila, suddenly you have a gift guide that weirdly looks like it’s out of some magazine from the 1960’s except this might not have been kosher in the 60’s (for very different reasons). So mainly just of-puttingly weird. Mostly, I am utterly amazed it made it past the editing process and am baffled why anyone felt the need to separate these gifts from the more generalized categories into which all these items fit, to one based on skin color.
Tom Maguire calls it the Times’s answer to “Stuff White People Like” minus the parodic intent. The most curious part? Rather than subdivide the gift ideas by individual race, the thought of which likely made even the NYT squeamish, they decided to lump everyone into the category “people of color.” So, in theory, they’re recommending the gospel cruise even for Hindus and Arab Muslims. Good work, kids. Exit question: I was planning to get the boss a gift basket and maybe some family games for the Wii for Christmas, but should I scrap that now in favor of something more Asian-y? Maybe Nintendo offers games geared specifically at Asians. If not, I guess I could get her the Obama children’s book on the Times list for her kids. What could go wrong?

Italdesign Nissan GT-R tribute enters production at R19.5m apiece
GT-R50 boasts a unique body and subtle interior touches, as well as a reworked suspension and upgraded Brembo brakes.
Shown as a concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed two years ago to celebrate fifth years of the GT-R nomenclature, Nissan has now officially put the Italdesign styled GT-R50 into production.
Limited to just 50 units with delivers set to commence later this year and into 2021, the GT-R50 boasts a unique body and subtle interior touches, as well as a reworked suspension, upgraded Brembo brakes and adjustable dampers.
In setting theirs apart from other examples, each of the 50 GT-R50 buyers can have their cars finished in a livery derived from past models, with Italdesign also confirming that a limited number of models are still available.
Based on the GT-R Nismo, the GT-R50 utilises the same upgraded 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 that punches out 530kW/780Nm. No performance figures were revealed, but likely to have been kept is the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and four-wheel-drive system.
According to reports, the GT-R50 comes with a price tag of €990 000 (R19.5-million), which makes it roughly five times pricier than the regular GT-R Nismo sold in Europe.

If I did own whatever I write, Percy Jackson wouldn't be in camp Jupiter (and never met Calypso), Harry Potter wouldn't have fallen in love with Ginny, Jane would've fallen for Peter Pan, Gwen wouldn't have died in Spiderman, Kurt and Rachel would both be in NYADA and Austin & Ally would have been together already.
I'm watching Coraline and the 1933 King-Kong (with Fay Wray) while writing this…don't judge me….
Peter couldn't believe his ears. They were…dead? Wendy and Edward are dead? He wanted to cry because of all the sadness it's caused, but he couldn't. He wouldn't. He had to stay strong, for Danny, Nana II and especially Jane. He didn't want to look like a coward in front of Jane. Peter didn't speak. He afraid his voice would turn to waves and jelly and crack like a boy in puberty. He also didn't know what to say. Peter Pan…speechless? Before this display she has noticed, Jane never thought it was possible. Jane let herself calm down before uttering out a few words.
"Peter, what can we do? I'm not prepared to take care of Danny and Nana II myself. I can't be the grown-up yet again and so quickly, too. Especially without the necessary tools to take care of a person. " Peter looked at Jane, sadly. He then looked at Danny and Nana II before looking at the night sky. Although with all that has happened the stars were clear and bright. One star caught his eyes. His home. Neverland. It was the brightest and most beautiful star present in the dark sky.
Maybe it's like that for a reason. There's an idea.
"Jane," Peter whispered, careful not to disturb the tired yet distraught Danny, "What if….what if you and Danny came and lived in Neverland?" Jane's eyes widened. Did he actually mean it? "What? You mean it?"
"Of course," Peter said, having a small, soft grin upon his lips, "There you guys are free! No chores, no responsibility, no wars. There you guys have a home. And there is no need to grow up."
"Can we, Jane? I don't want to go to a foster home." Danny said, sounding as if he were about to cry once again. Jane thought for a moment. It seemed like the better option if she wanted to stay with Danny and still have a home. And there are people who care about them.
"Alright. I say we go live in Neverland." Jane said with a bittersweet smile on her face. Peter hugged her and led everyone else off. He saw Jane was staring at her destroyed home and her lips moving. He flew to her side and grabbed her hand. She glanced at him and smiled. He smiled back and led her to the others on the way to Neverland.
Neverland never changed from the last time Jane's been there. The oceans bright blue and the land's a healthy green. You never see this in London.
Peter entered the trunk home with Jane, Danny and even Nana II at his tail. "Hey, lost boys! I've got a surprise for you!"
"Woo hoo!" Came the sounds of children running into the room. Slightly, Nibs, Cubby, the twins and of course Tootles never changed. The twins were the first ones to see them and started cheering. "Jane!" They wrapped themselves to her body and squeezed her. The other's did the same especially Tootles. Even with the squeezing, Jane laughed.
"Don't squish her, boys!" Peter shouted while laughing at the boys. After everyone calmed down, Peter stood next to Jane. "Hello, lost boys," Jane said, while smiling. Peter stood up straight, just like he does when he's about to speak as a leader.
"Lost boys. I have important matter to talk to you about. Jane, here and her brother, Danny, are going to be living with us. Here, in Neverland." Astonished faces and cheers of excitement ran through the boys. "Really? But why?" Slightly asked, not in disgust but out of curiosity.
Peter looked at Jane with approval and she nodded. "Well, Jane's parents were in a tragic explosion back in London and she had no place to live so I asked her to live with us."
"And considering I'm here, I said yes." Jane finished for Peter. Peter smiled and intertwined their hands again and led her to a different side of their home. "Let's get you settled in."
Oh, you lucky ducks! I was going to stop their there but considering I haven't updated, I'm going to make it longer…
Peter led Jane to a room next to his bedroom. It wasn't decorated or anything but there was a bed with blankets. "I had this room setup for whenever you'd like to come and stay for a few days instead of a few hours like usual."
"Well, I think it's lovely, Peter. But where would Danny sleep?" Jane replied, looking at Peter regain his thoughts. "Actually, Jane, I was thinking about turning Danny into a lost boy and he could sleep in the lost boys' room. I mean, he's not exactly lost to you but – "
Jane grinned and hugged Peter, "What a great idea, Peter! Danny, a lost boy and I, the only lost girl! That's fantastic, Peter!"
"So you agree?" Peter asked. Jane rolled her eyes and nodded, "Of course! Otherwise I wouldn't be this excited."
Peter grabbed her hand once more and flew to the lost boys' room. When they got there, they saw the boys jumping on their bed with an excited Danny as well. It seemed as if Danny and the lost boys knew each other since they were born.
"Attention!" Peter yelled at the boys. All the boys stopped their clatters and lined up in front of their bed. Danny stood next to Jane, not knowing what to do. "We all know Jane is our first and only lost girl. But what will Danny be? I say we welcome another member to the lost boys!" The boys anxiously cheered and Danny felt giddy. Peter turned to Danny with mouse ears and put it over his head. It was a whole head piece with a hole only for his face. "I now present Danny, an honorary lost boy."
That night the boys were so excited they wore themselves out and quickly fell asleep. Nana II slept at the end of the bed with them. Only Jane and Peter were awake. "I still can't believe you're staying with us, Jane."
Jane sat next to Peter and grinned, "Then you'll have to since I'm going to be living here a long while." She looked at Peter and realized he looked a little bit older. Not the little kid she always saw him as but older. About her age. She also didn't notice his height and voice. But there's no growing up in Neverland.
Jane found it peculiar of this change but said nothing. It was probably nothing, really. "Thank you, Peter. For letting Danny, Nana II and I live here."
"No problem!" He said.
Jane quickly glanced at him before pressing her lips to his cheek. "Good night," she said, while feeling her cheeks heat up. With her door shut, Peter's fingers found themselves upon his rosy cheeks feeling the burn. He felt himself longing for Jane to come back to him.
This is nothing. It's most likely a cold. It's nothing. Is it?
So that's that. It feels short. Anyway, Peter looking older…cliché I guess but seriously, falling for a boy who looked 12 years old sounds kind of creepy. I was also thinking of Princess Tiger Lily making a reappearance in the next chapter like in the first Peter Pan. What do you guys think? Let me know!

Factual Dispersion, Poetic Compression
With words stepping backwards from the wave of news coverage, attempting to retrace a moment or point in time, to go back where things began, to the innocuous genesis of a single deliberate decision, the resentment or, in some camps, the war crime, within the continuous ebb and flow. The stepping back breaks up the habit of our clear factual articulation – a clear factual articulation that, in its fact, becomes ignorable as it satisfies the need for fact and its pincer click of tiny precision. This articulation now carries other words, carries them forward from the reversal of the day’s date stamped so firmly and authoritatively on the facts, as if justification itself.
Stepping backwards and moving forwards with the words of Syrian poets, women whose poems are oddly and noticeably not dated in the books recovered in translation from the British Library, despite the original words being imminently intelligible within the contemporary language of the particular place from where they were written – whether that be Syria, France, Lebanon or elsewhere. The necessary compression of meaning within each sentence of this poetry is in turn counterpointed against the fact of legal journalistic accuracy and its subsequent dispersal, its general thinning out, particularly in the face of reported death.

Who you are is pretty amazing.
It does not matter what job you have or what categories you place yourself into – you are amazing.
Geek, jock, nerd, Gen-Xer, Millenial, man, woman, gay, straight, bi, trans, black, white, tall, short, fat, thin, American, Asian, Christian, Muslim…doesn’t matter, you are amazing.
We live on a planet with a rich diversity of ideas, of cultures, of traditions. We can communicate instantly across the globe with little or no effort. We can experience one another’s differences of opinion and idea and we can learn from one another too.
We get too focused on the negatives of our differences. The extremes, the minority that want to stir trouble and cause us to fear the differences between us. From utterly intangible differences like religion and nationality to the tangibles like skin color and gender a tiny group of very loud people want to divide us. Split us. They want to use the fear and anger over slights and differences to gain power and control that is utterly artificial.
When we begin to see how amazing each and every one of us is, no matter our perceived differences, we can build great things. We can create a world that can be full of hope and opportunity and peace.
The holiday season is an ultimate paradox. Greed and consumerism on one hand, peace love and joy on the other. Show love and affection for everyone around you, but buy all the toys! You have to spend the money to buy the joy, they try to tell us. I disagree.
There is no price in recognizing how amazing everyone is. But the value is incalculable. When we start to see what makes us each unique but similar we should celebrate that and learn from one another.
Fear destroys. The loud minority loves to use fear because it gathers followers who might otherwise be more rational and thoughtful if their base concerns were not being played.
Who we are, each and every one of us, is something to take heart with. Shaming and tearing down generates only negativity. We need to build more positivity in this world and recognize the exceptional aspects of our diversity. Who you are is pretty amazing, and so are those around you, near and far.
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that who you are is an amazing person, you can also begin to look for and see the amazing in everyone else out there. When we acknowledge that we are all equal in our capacity to be amazing we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
This is the ninety-ninth entry of my Positivity series. It is my hope these weekly messages might help spread positive energies for everyone. Feel free to share, re-blog and spread the positivity.

NEW DELHI: The government plans to tweak the system of calculating fuel subsidies to make ONGC's public offer more attractive for investors. It plans to make subsidy sharing more predictable and transparent so that analysts can properly assess the ONGC's earnings outlook.
Currently they are unable to assess the amount and the timing of the huge subsidy payout. This diminishes the interest of top institutions in the stock.
The oil ministry may soon approach the Cabinet to overhaul the fuel pricing system to incorporate some of the observations of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, which recently submitted a report on the matter.
The pricing system has a direct impact on ONGC, which shares a part of the cost of selling diesel, kerosene and cooking gas below market rates. Officials said after paying subsidy in the form of discounts to state refiners, ONGC was able to charge a net price of only $40.97 per barrel in the last fiscal year although the market price was about $106. This may rise to $60, which is close to the industry's demand of $65.
"The move to have an explicit policy for subsidy sharing will help in realising better value for ONGC's shares," a source involved in the discussions said. The government has plans to raise about 18,000 crore through from sale of its 5% stake in ONGC this year.
In its report released last week, the CAG said that despite recommendations by several expert panels since 2006, the government did not frame an "explicit and transparent" policy for funding oil subsidies. The report highlights the fact that state firm assume the payment of customs duty in pricing petrol and diesel although they do not pay the duty on the crude oil they import.
The oil ministry, which is examining the report, is of firm belief that without the duty protection state-run refineries would succumb to private competition.
The automotive sector is one of the largest industries contributing about 7.1% to India’s GDP and generating huge direct and indirect employment. In the Union Budget FY24, the industry has got major boost towards electric vehicle manufacturing, hydrogen fuel adoption and the changing technology mix. However, there were certain misses with regards to the GST reduction.

“An intense, joltingly modern love story.” — KIRKUS REVIEWS
About Samreen Ahsan:
History, art and literature are my passions. I love digging out information about prophecies, divine miracles and paranormal events that are mentioned in history and holy books, that don’t sound possible in today’s modern world.
Since childhood, I have been into reading and writing–and yes, it can’t happen without imagination, which luckily has no boundaries. Dance and music are also pastimes I enjoy, as well as reading romance fiction. I love to travel and explore historical cities. I currently live in Toronto, Canada.
A Prayer Series is my first story about paranormal events based on Islamic concepts.
Praise for A Silent Prayer:
“This novel is not your typical romance as it is more along the journey of what it means to establish faith. There are many types of love in the world, some black and white others are more clear. I think as human beings we are all quick to judge those that do not see as clearly as Adam. In some ways I believe that both Rania and Adam were able to save each other because they were able to look beyond what it truly means to love and to forgive.” — For the Passion of Romance Blog
I think A Silent Prayer by Samreen Ahsan is destined to become a classic in the romance genre. I rarely read pure romance novels. I like my romance blended into an action or adventure story, otherwise it gets a little boring for me. This story is pure romance. What is new is that Samreen Ahsan chooses to tell the story from both characters’ point of view. One chapter from the man’s perspective and one chapter from the woman’s.
There are a lot of good male writers who just can’t capture the essence of a female character and there are a lot of good women writers who can’t quite get the male voice right. Both the male and female perspective sound and feel genuinely authentic. This is why I give it five stars. The writing is great and I cared about the characters. You could even say that I prayed for a successful conclusion to their romantic journey. — Reviewed by Ray Simmons for Readers’ Favorite

After choosing a GoPro camera with the desired video quality, it is important to use a suitable mount to secure the camera. On a motorcycle, GoPro cameras can capture footage from different positions, and the positions all have various advantages suited to different filming styles.
Choose a Camera Mount Style
An unstable camera mount produces low-quality footage, and the camera could actually fall off the motorcycle during the ride and suffer extensive damage. Vibration causes "camera shake" and makes the footage troublesome to watch and possibly unusable. For common bar-mounted cameras, a piece of foam rubber placed between the mount and the motorcycle sometimes solves the problem.
Handlebar, Seat Post, and Pole Mounts
Handlebar, seat post, and pole mounts attach to any round bar. Most motorcycles have at least a few suitable locations for these mounts, and they attach in a variety of ways. Straps, bolts, or brackets provide a steady hold on the frame for steady video footage. When purchasing a bar mount, consider the number of adjustment points on the arm that connect the camera to the mount, as more adjustment points mean more potential angles for capturing video.
Adhesive and Suction Cup Mounts
Both adhesive and suction cup mounts provide excellent, uniquely angled video footage, but they are not always the best choices for long-term use. The benefit of these mounts is they stick to almost any type of surface as long as the adhesive or suction cups remain in good condition. These types of mounts are best for capturing intense shots from angles the rider could never achieve using a bar mount.
Attach an adhesive mount by peeling off the cover layer of the industrial strength adhesive and anchoring the mount to a clean, flat surface. Remove it by applying heat with a blow dryer.
If a motorcycle has a windshield, it is a nice area mounting area for capturing excellent unedited footage. A windshield drastically cuts down wind noise, which is perfect for videographers who want to create videos that include the actual audio from the ride. If sound is not an issue, mount the camera in front of the windshield to reduce glare and reflections.
Helmet and Chest Mounts
These situations are rare, but some motorcycle designs simply do not accommodate camera mounts in safe, secure ways. Alternative camera mounting options are available to solve this problem. Helmet mounts offer a simple solution and still provide dynamic video of the ride. The camera sees whatever the rider sees, which is helpful for capturing some types of footage, and it adds more personal and kinetic footage to the video.
A chest mount has many of the same features as a helmet mount, but it is slightly more adjustable due to its location. The video captured on a chest camera is sometimes more stable than footage on a helmet cam, and it provides an immersive experience.
How to Buy GoPro Mounts for Motorcycles on eBay
When you want to mount a GoPro camera to your motorcycle, the equipment you need is readily available on eBay. Simply type "GoPro motorcycle mount" into the search bar on any page to conduct a general search, or narrow the search by including the camera model or the exact type of mount you want. Many different companies make mounts for GoPro cameras. Be sure the product you choose comes with all the mounting hardware required to attach the mount to your motorcycle.

Police cane charge protesters during CM's Gwalior visit
Police resorted to lathi charge and use of water canon on Sunday evening to disperse workers of AAP, CPM, Samanta Dal etc who were lodging their protest on Gandhi Road during chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's visit to Gwalior, on alleged fake encounters in the city.Updated: Sep 09, 2015 11:56 IST
Police resorted to lathi charge and use of water canon on Sunday evening to disperse workers of AAP, CPM, Samanta Dal etc who were lodging their protest on Gandhi Road during chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's visit to Gwalior, on alleged fake encounters in the city.
Police arrested more than 125 agitators from the spot and they were later released from the DRP line.
After his release, district functionary of CPM Akhilesh Yadav alleged crime branch of police was responsible for fake encounter of innocent Dharmendra Kushwaha on August 3, 2015 and Mukesh Kushwaha on October 21, 2014.
"We urged the CM for a probe into the matter and suspension of entire crime branch team but in vain", he added.
SP Harinarayanchari Mishra said arrested persons had been released after warning. The group of people who created disturbances didn't get support from the deceased Dharmendra Kushwaha's family members who were also present on the spot.
Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan inaugurated piped natural gas supply in the city.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of PNG inauguration function, he said Centre would cooperate with the state government in all matters including smart cities project in which Gwalior was also included.
In reply to a question, Chouhan said the state government had already distributed the relief money to farmers whose crop was damaged due to hailstorm.
The compensation to farmers had been distributed in entire state including eight districts of Gwalior and Chambal region. Hence there was no need to send proposal or demand letter to Central government for relief fund.
The CM's remark contradicted his earlier statements when he had said Central government would help the state in disbursement of relief amount to hailstorm affected farmers.
Chouhan refused to reply to questions related to Vyapam scam and added he would submit reply to the court alone.
Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar said the petroleum ministry had set a target to supply PNG (piped natural gas) gas to 1 crore houses. It would reduce LPG dependency and on the other hand help the poor to avail LPG connection.

Grief is a process that no one wants to have to experience or endure, but it is inevitable. Each step of grief is necessary, but it has no timeline for completion. We can grieve in a period of days, weeks, months or years. Each moment of grief is different, and we must find our way through it on our own terms. Grief quotes can help us on our journey. They can show us the path that leads us to other side, one where we can move on in our life. With grief quotes, we realize that others have had to experience the same sense of loss, whether it is a friendship, the loss of a job or a marriage of 60 years.

Following the release of the Smoking Tire Car Pack that happened earlier this month, it is said that there will be another update coming up soon which will include a new RWB Porsche.
Formula Drift pro-driver Corey Hosford has reportedly leaked some information about the new downloadable content (DLC) pack which is expected to introduce new content and as with the first car pack, new and amazing vehicles.
It is worth noting that the Smoking Tire Car Pack, being the first DLC expansion rolled out for the hit title, featured seven new automobiles for players to explore. These include the following: the 1976 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade, 2016 GTA Spano, 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan, and the 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
It is said that the next pack called “Hoonigan” will come with new and powerful vehicles, including an RWB Porsche, Rob Parson’s S13 drift car and Ken Block’s Gymkhana Ford Focus RS. Of course, since Hosford was the one who leaked the details for the upcoming “Forza Horizon 3,” his S14 drift car will allegedly be added to the expansion.
Playground Games has not yet addressed the reports but fans are excited to see what’s in store for them once “Hoonigan” is out.
Meanwhile, it seems that the PC port for “Forza Horizon 3” is still giving some players huge problems as it was reported that the game may not be compatible with the said platform. For those using the Xbox One, it appears that all is well and the game performs well on their end. Testers speculate that the title may have been created solely for the Xbox One and is not really intended for the PC.
A patch will purportedly arrive soon to fix the problems, but not too many are excited about the said report since the developer has not made an official announcement yet nor addressed the glitches.
Stay tuned for more updates on “Forza Horizon 3,” which is playable on the Xbox One and PC.

Thousands of pro-democracy protesters take to Bangkok streets against the king (video)
Protesters rallied in front of the country’s main investment bank, controlled by the monarch, to avoid clashes with police and loyalist groups. The pro-democracy movement wants limits on the monarch’s political role and crown assets. A dozen anti-government leaders are under investigation for "lèse majesté".
Bangkok (AsiaNews) – Thousands of pro-democracy protesters gathered this afternoon in front of the headquarters of the country's main investment bank.
The Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) is controlled by King Maha Vajiralongkorn, who was targeted by young demonstrators for his political role and the size of the crown assets, deemed excessive in a constitutional monarchy like Thailand's.
To avoid clashes with the police and loyalist groups, protest organisers decided against meeting near the Crown Property Bureau office, the original site of the rally.
For months, the pro-democracy movement has called for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former coup leader, demanding the instauration of a truly democratic constitution.
To stop the wave of protests, the authorities have starting accusing protesters of “lèse majesté”, an offence that can entail up to 15 years in prison since the monarch is seen as untouchable.
A dozen anti-government leaders are under investigation for slandering the king, including human rights activist Anon Nampa, who addressed the crowd near the SCB.

Students become machinists, welders in COM camp
Putting out digital fires, creating machine parts and welding were all in a day’s work for students in the COM Industrial Trades Career Exploration Camp June 15-19.
As he watched a lathe slice into aluminum to create a precision part, Evan Pratt, 14, of Texas City, said machining intrigued him as a career.
“I like machines, making stuff. You’re shredding it and shaping it into stuff like this,” said Pratt.
Clay Cook, 18, of Friendswood, just graduated from high school and enjoyed the hands-on practice with welding.
“I'm here to see if what I want to do (welding) is what I really want to do,” said Cook.
Students also learned about safety and avoiding industrial hazards.
“We learned about different fires and how to put it out,” said Pratt. “(The digital fire) had sensors, and you’d shoot water at it.”
Students also dove into process technology and mechanical maintenance careers, positions that pay well and are in high demand on the Gulf Coast.
“These camps are designed for the students to be immersed in the careers supported by COM degree or certificate programs. The point is not to lecture but to ‘touch and do,’” said Laura Baumgartner, COM Director of Continuing Education Industrial Workforce. “Students walked away feeling more confident when making the biggest decision ever – what am I going to do when I grow up?”
Preparing students for any higher education or career decision they make, the camp covered how to complete a college application and apply for financial aid.

The consequences of climate change on food security in arid and semi-arid regions can be serious. Understanding climate change impacts on water balance is critical to assess future crop performance and develop sustainable adaptation strategies. This paper presents a climate change impact study on the water balance components of an agricultural watershed in the Mediterranean region. The restructured version of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+) model was used to simulate the hydrological components in the Sulcis watershed (Sardinia, Italy) for the baseline period and compared to future climate projections at the end of the 21st century. The model was forced using data from two Regional Climate Models under the representative concentration pathways RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios developed at a high resolution over the European domain. River discharge data were used to calibrate and validate the SWAT+ model for the baseline period, while the future hydrological response was evaluated for the mid-century (2006–2050) and late-century (2051–2098). The model simulations indicated a future increase in temperature, decrease in precipitation, and consequently increase in potential evapotranspiration in both RCP scenarios. Results show that these changes will significantly decrease water yield, surface runoff, groundwater recharge, and baseflow. These results highlight how hydrological components alteration by climate change can benefit from modelling high-resolution future scenarios that are useful for planning mitigation measures in agricultural semi-arid Mediterranean regions.

Sam Hunter set out to go camping near his home on Weenusk First Nation, about 35 kilometres south of Hudson Bay in Ontario’s Far North.
After spending a night in the bush, Hunter, who has lived on this land for most of his 53 years, went to look for dry wood. As he drove across what appeared to be a frozen river, the surface suddenly gave way and his Yamaha Bravo snowmobile plunged through the ice. Hunter was thrown through the windshield and barely avoided falling into the rushing water below. A sleigh attached to the back of the snowmobile was the only thing that prevented it from fully sinking into the water.
As he tried to wrench his machine free, Hunter found that he was standing on ice suspended several feet above the fast-rushing river. Hunter says it was as if the ice was “hanging on air.”

On September 22, 1789, a Russian-Austrian detachment under the command of Alexander Suvorov attacked the Turkish army near the Rymnik River. This battle took place during the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1791, the first campaign in which the commander participated in the rank of general-general.
Suvorov defeated the enemy, several times superior in numbers to Russian troops. Subsequently, the Russian army liberated the entire space from the Turks to the Danube. After a series of defeats of the Ottoman Empire, it was necessary to enter into negotiations with Russia and conclude the Yass peace treaty.
In 1774, due to military setbacks, the Ottoman Empire abandoned Crimea and a large part of the Northern Black Sea coast, however, they could not come to terms with this in Constantinople. In addition, the Turkish authorities were dissatisfied with the George Treaty of 1783, according to which Eastern Georgia passed under the protectorate of Russia.
The environment of the Sultan constantly wove intrigues in the Caucasus and sent emissaries to the Northern Black Sea region, persuading the local population to participate in anti-Russian actions.
Such behavior of the Turks was irritating in St. Petersburg, so in 1787, the Russian ambassador to Constantinople, Jacob Bulgakov, demanded that the authorities of the Ottoman Empire stop the violation of the borders of Russia and Georgia. In response, the Porta presented its demands to Russia: to abandon the defense of Georgia, transfer the surroundings of Kinburn to the Turks and return Crimea to Turkish control.
Not receiving a positive answer, the Ottoman authorities imprisoned Bulgakov in the castle. On August 13, 1787, the Porta officially declared war on Russia, in which Vienna became an ally of St. Petersburg.
The Turks could not capture the Kinburn Peninsula - the 5,000th Ottoman landing party was defeated by the 4,000th Suvorov detachment.

In subsequent years, the commander’s troops won a number of victories over Turkish forces. So, in the Northern Black Sea region, soldiers under the command of Suvorov and Grigory Potemkin took one of the most powerful Turkish fortresses - Ochakov. In addition, the 25,000th Russian-Austrian detachment defeated the 30,000th Turkish corps in the battle of Focsani.
The Battle of Ramnik
The Turkish commander, Yusuf Pasha, gathered a 100,000th army, crossed the Danube and moved to the Rymnik river to attack the inferior Russian forces. He knew that in the detachment of Suvorov there were less than 7 thousand soldiers, and under the command of the Austrian prince of Coburg, acting with him in an alliance, 18 thousand.
The Turks pressed the Austrians and camped near the village of Tirgo-Kukuli. On September 21, 1789, Suvorov arrived to help the allies, bringing 9 infantry battalions, 9 squadrons of carabinieri, 2 Cossack regiments and a thousand auxiliary Arnaut troops. The total number of the combined Russian-Austrian detachment reached approximately 25 thousand people.
Turkish troops stood between the rivers Rymna and Rymnik with three ledges. At Tyrgo-Kukuli there were 12 thousand Ottoman fighters under the command of Haji Saltari Pasha, at the village of Marinesti - 70 thousand soldiers of Agi Pasha, including 20 thousand Janissaries, and at the village of Odaya - 20 thousand soldiers under the leadership of Yusuf Pasha.
Turkish units were well covered by riverbanks, swamps and thickets. The Austrians were afraid to attack the enemy in such a situation, but Suvorov decided to bet on speed and surprise.
On the morning of September 22, Russian troops secretly crossed over Rymna, drove the Turks from fortified positions in Tyrgo-Kukuli and developed an offensive. The Austrians repulsed the attacks of the Turkish cavalry, trying to divide the allies, and allied with the Russians.
Suvorov managed to enter the flank of the Yusuf Pasha detachment. He threw cavalry into the Turkish camp, which caused panic among the Ottomans, and developed success with the help of infantry. Confused Turks fled from the battlefield.
According to Yusuf Pasha’s estimates, his army lost over 20 thousand people killed and wounded during the battle. In addition, the Turks threw banners, artillery and supplies during the retreat. The losses of the Russian-Austrian army amounted to about 500 people.

The defeat at Ramnik was a serious blow to the Turkish army. Her only major success during the war was the victory over Prince Coburg in 1790 near Zhurzha.
The situation in the Ottoman Empire was facilitated by a change in the international political situation. The Austrian Emperor Joseph II died, and his successor Leopold II decided to end the war. Using the split of the union, the Turks tried to attack the Russians, but were again defeated in several battles.
December 22, 1790 Suvorov took the fortress of Izmail, which was previously considered impregnable. The following year, the Turks were defeated by Nikolai Repnin in the battle of Machinsky. The Ottoman Empire had to negotiate peace with St. Petersburg.
On January 9, 1792, the Yassky peace treaty was concluded, according to which Turkey transferred land to Russia between the Southern Bug and the Dniester, and also refused any claims to the Crimea, the remaining part of the Northern Black Sea Region and Georgia.

For the victory at Rymnik, Suvorov was elevated to the rank of count by Catherine II with the name Rymniksky and received a number of high awards, including diamond signs of the St. Andrew order, a diamond epaulette, a sword studded with diamonds and the Order of St. George of the 1st degree.
“Suvorov was the greatest Russian military leader, a brilliant strategist, tactician. It was the commander of what is called the mercy of God, ”said historian Yevgeny Pchelov in an interview with RT.
According to him, "the battle of Rymnik is one of the brightest military events of the times of Catherine II." Suvorov always managed to achieve the highest results with the least losses, noted Pchelov.
“Even against the backdrop of the bright people of the Catherine era, the commander was a unique person, although he was a rather peculiar, difficult person. Ekaterina highly appreciated him and said that she owed him a lot and was ready to fulfill any request he made, ”the expert added.
In turn, the historian and writer Dmitry Volodikhin noted in an interview with RT that the battle of Rymnik was "the greatest success of Russian weapons on land throughout the second Russo-Turkish war."
“The nature of the battle was such that relatively small forces broke into several Turkish positions and each time defeated the enemy with such force that they brought his army to complete defeat. This is a brilliant victory, a real triumph, ”the expert summed up.

UFC bantamweight prospect Raul Rosas Jr. will face Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287 on April 8th.
Marcel Dorff first reported news of the Rosas/Rodriguez booking.
The 18-year-old Rosas won his UFC debut via first-round submission over Jay Perrin at UFC 282. The win came just three months after he earned a unanimous decision win on Dana White‘s Contender Series.
Before earning a contract on DWCS, Rosas won five straight fights to begin his career in UWC. Only one of his fights in his professional career has gone the entire distance.
Rosas made his professional debut at UWC 30 when he was just 17 years old. He became the youngest fighter ever signed to the UFC.
Raul Rosas Jr. Vs. Christian Rodriguez Set For UFC 287
Raul’s brother, Jessie, is also an up-and-coming fighter and could potentially earn a fight on DWCS. Rosas promises big things between himself and his brother in 2023.
Rodriguez is also a DWCS alum, earning a win over Junior Cortez in 2021. While he didn’t earn a contract immediately, he made his UFC debut last year, losing to Jonathan Pearce before a win over Joshua Weems.
Rodriguez is 8-1 in his career with stints in LFA, Cage Fury, and Mecca.
An impressive win for Rosas would likely move him one step closer to a potential spot in the rankings. However, the UFC could take a slow and methodical approach to his development.
Rob Font vs. Adrian Yanez will also take place at UFC 287. The venue and location for the card have yet to be announced.
What is your reaction to Raul Rosas Jr.’s next UFC assignment?

Passport compulsory for Haj pilgrims: Tharoor
Thiruvananthapuram: Minister of State for
External Affairs Shashi Tharoor on Monday wanted those planning to
go for Haj to apply for passports as Saudi Arabia government

officers of southern and western regions here.
Out of the 1.10 lakh persons already selected for
performing Haj by various state haj committees, only 20,000
persons have applied for passports.
Though, the last date for receiving the applications for
`Special Passports for Haj pilgrims` expired on July 31,
Tharoor asked those who have not submitted applications to do
so at the earliest. The special passport is valid for eight

diet-induced rats compared to sorghum flour. It used a randomized pre-post test with a control group design. The test subjects were 30 male Sprague Dawley rats, consisting of 6 normal conditioned rats (C1), and 24 that were induced by an atherogenic diet (C2, T1, T2, T3) for 2 weeks. Sorghum flour was administered at a dose of 4.095 g (T1) and the sorghum tempeh
at 3.041 g (T2) and 6.081 g (T3) for 4 weeks. Furthermore, C2 was constantly induced through an atherogenic diet. Total cholesterol and LDL levels were then analyzed using the CHOD-PAP method, and MDA levels, using the ELISA method. Meanwhile, statistical analysis for these variables was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics 21 software. The results showed that the administration of sorghum flour and tempeh significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL, MDA levels in each group (p = 0.001). Furthermore, it showed that there was a significantly strong correlation between LDL and MDA levels before and after treatment (r = 0.610, r = 0.805, and p = 0.001). The administration of sorghum tempeh at a dose of 6.081 g caused the greatest reduction (∆) in LDL levels at -44.19 ±2.58 mg.dL-1, although, it was not the same as normal control. Meanwhile, sorghum flour at a dose of 4.095 g was the most influential in reducing MDA levels to the same as normal control with delta (∆) at -7.67 ±0.37 ng.mL-1. In conclusion, sorghum tempeh and flour were the most effective at reducing LDL and MDA levels, respectively.
