The number of HR manager positions will increase this year by 1,100 in California—the highest volume in the nation—and by 8.6 percent in Nevada, the largest percentage increase among the 50 states and Washington, D.C., according to a set of forecasts at Projections Central, a website with employment data compiled by state agencies.
Those projections and the outlooks for hundreds of other types of jobs on the site are, of course, subject to change. However, there is no doubt that the U.S. labor market is still in the midst of a healthy expansion, as November 2016 marked the 74th consecutive month of growth.
And while 2016's pace of job creation (about 180,000 new jobs per month) was behind that of 2015 (an average of 229,000 jobs each month), the level of expansion has still been strong enough to keep unemployment rates low.
So what might be coming in 2017? An uncertain political environment has perhaps obscured hiring outlooks for some employers, but if economic conditions remain strong, expect job growth to continue for the foreseeable future. With that in mind, here are several projections for the labor market in 2017.
To kick off the new year, 41.7 percent of manufacturers and 26.2 percent of service-sector companies will be adding jobs during January, according to the Society for Human Resource Management's Leading Indicators of National Employment (LINE) report for the first month of the year. Both sectors' hiring rates will increase when compared with January 2016, and the manufacturing net of 41.7 percent represents a four-year high for the month.
Weak holiday retail sales are clouding the hiring forecast for the service sector, however. Macy's and other big retailers with physical stores have announced dozens of store closures and thousands of layoffs in the past days to cut costs and streamline their operations.

In a set of projections released Dec. 14, 2016, the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Bank presidents predicted a median unemployment rate of 4.5 percent in 2017, down slightly from a September 2016 projection of 4.6 percent. At the moment, the Fed seems quite confident in the labor market's near-term outlook: Forecasts for 2018 and 2019 are also calling for a median jobless rate of 4.5 percent.
The "hottest jobs in 2017" will be found in an array of industries, including business and financial operations, information technology, health care, sales, and skilled trades, according to data compiled by human capital firm CareerBuilder and labor market data provider Emsi.
Staffing agency Robert Half International (RHI) has forecasted employment growth in several sectors in 2017, including the legal industry, where 25 percent of employers are expected to add to their staffs in the first half of the new year. Among those with hiring plans, 40 percent said they will add staff to their litigation practices.
RHI said 16 percent of chief information officers said they would add to their technology staffs during the January-to-June time frame in 2017, and workers with database management skills are in the highest demand (according to 44 percent of respondents). RHI also reported that 12 percent of advertising and marketing executives said they will grow their payrolls in the first half of the new year. A quarter of advertising and marketing executives who had hiring plans said they were seeking web design/production workers in 2017.
Finally, more than half (53.5 percent) of employers that responded to a survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers rated the job market as "good" for 2017 college graduates. Another 29.2 percent of respondents rated it "very good," and 7.6 percent dubbed it an "excellent" market for 2017 graduates. Less than 10 percent of respondents rated it either "fair" (9 percent) or "poor" (0.7 percent).

BAY CITY, MI – Postseason soccer brings a new brand of thrills.
Tension and drama are always part of the deal.
A series of closely contested games – in a must-win setting – continued that tradition this week in the opening round of the MHSAA boys soccer districts, as John Glenn, Essexville Garber and Pinconning moved on while Bay City Western and Bay City Central bowed out.
In a rematch of Bay County rivals, John Glenn outdueled Bay City Central 4-0 in the Division 2 quarterfinal. Glenn got the best of Central en route to its Bay County Championship crown and during the Saginaw Valley League season but had its hands full in Round 3.
“I always remind the guys how difficult it is to beat a team three times in a year,” Glenn coach Justin Page said. “This time of year, just showing up to the game doesn’t guarantee anyone a win. We knew Bay City Central was going to come out hard and aggressive and play us tougher.”
Glenn took a tenuous 1-0 lead into halftime before taking control with three second-half goals. Jaron Abt scored two goals for Glenn while Austin Kaczmarek and Casey Monville added one apiece. Dylan Brewer notched two assists while Jeremiah Long and Jacob Veit each had one.
Central wrapped up the year at 5-14-1, notching its most wins in a season since 2013. Glenn (11-10-3) plays at Alpena at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinal.
Cadillac meets Gaylord in the other semifinal after the Vikings edged out Bay City Western 2-1 in the quarterfinal.
Garber rolled through its opener in Division 3 action, downing Standish-Sterling 7-0. Aidan Halstead scored a pair of goals in the win while Corey Shorkey, Sam Fodrey, Connor Smale and Nick Stenman all got in on the scoring fun with one goal. Riley Day tallied three assists with Halstead adding two and Stenman one.
Backup keeper Andrew Neumann came on in the second half and recorded a save on the lone shot Garber allowed on goal.
The Dukes (11-3-6) play at Ogemaw Heights at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the district semifinal.
Pinconning (5-19) hosts Gladwin (18-2-2) in the other semifinal at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday after scoring a rousing victory in the quarterfinal. The Spartans battled to a standoff with Remus Chippewa Hills during regulation and overtime before prevailing in dramatic fashion in a shootout for the 2-1 win.
After two 10-minute overtimes couldn’t break a 1-1 deadlock, the squads went to the shootout – and matched each other yet again with three goals apiece. In the sudden death second round, Pinconning had its moment.
The Spartans scored on their first attempt then keeper Justin Reder finished the job, making a spectacular stop to secure the win and give his team another game to play. Reder made 15 saves in the contest while Dominic Krevinghaus scored Pinconning’s regulation goal.

When was the last time you went to a new restaurant without looking it up online beforehand? Or bought a product that didn’t have at least a few 5-star reviews? It seems like more and more our world is run on reviews. And you can make money online by writing them. Get started by creating accounts on sites like Vindale research, Software Judge, FameBit, CrowdTap, Influence Central, and Modern Mom. However, before you run off and start writing, be sure to check the small print on each of these sites. Writing reviews isn’t a huge source of guaranteed income and you want to make sure that it’s worth your time before you get going.
You can earn above average rates of return because peer-to-peer lending eliminates the bank function. That means that you participate in nearly the entire interest rate being paid by the borrower, rather than the less than 1% that you will typically earn on certificates of deposit. And you can reduce your risk by investing in slices of hundreds of different loans.
Do you love getting refunds? How cool would it be to get money back on stuff you’ve already bought without having to do a thing? Paribus is a service that lets you find out if stores you’ve shopped at online owe you a refund. It’s free to sign up. Paribus connects to your email account and checks your receipts. If they find out a retailer has dropped their price they file a price adjustment claim for you. Try out Paribus.
Today, thanks to technologies like smartphones, social media and the internet, there’s no shortage of people attempting to cheerlead their offers at every bend and turn. While the web has given us virtually boundless ways of improving our lives, it’s also delivered some unsavory characters who are more interested in extracting dollars from us rather than helping us to make them.
The audiobook industry is booming, yet only 5% of books ever get made into audio format. If you’ve got a background in acting, or if people have said you’ve got a voice made for the radio, you can make extra money recording audio versions of independent and popular books. Sites like ACX connect authors with audiobook performers. So, whether you’re an author looking for more ways to sell your book, or an actor/voice actor looking to make some extra income, you can sell your services online.
If you have a good idea for an app, and the skills to create it, then producing your own premium app can be profitable. However, with so many free apps available, it may be hard to convince people to pay. If you want to go down the premium app route, consider having a basic free version to encourage people to download the app in the first place. You can then provide the option of upgrading to a premium plan once users realize how useful the app is.
If you have experience with marketing, SEO, or a knack for getting people excited about the products and services you use on a regular basis, think about refining your skills and putting them to work making money online as a small business marketing consultant in your region—especially if you can become a local SEO expert and can help local clients rank higher in their search results.
It’s an excellent opportunity to offer technical training courses that teach people how to learn a much-needed skill, or accomplish an important task. It could also prove to be an important testing ground for your educational courses. If you are able to market your course on the site, against direct competition, you may be able to direct marketing to the general public, using a website, videos, or even an affiliate marketing program.
Mechanical Turk: Amazon's Mechanical Turk is a resource for doing human-intelligence tasks, or as the site commonly refers to them, HITs. You get paid a very small fee for any given HIT and you'll need a good deal of volume to make a substantial amount of money. But it is a resource you can use in your spare time to generate a small income online.
If you live in an area where Uber or Lyft operate, why not become a driver? If you're looking to make some short-term cash, you can definitely rake it in by working for one of these popular car-hire apps. As long as your vehicle fits within the specifications of their program, and you have a clean license, you could do this on the side, especially if you're in a crunch for cash.
Creating a video series and selling it as a digital download on your blog, much like an eBook, can be another great seller. A video course, teaching viewers a specific skill or how to achieve a particular activity, may well resonate with your audience. If you are going to go down this route then your videos need to be as professional as possible so you should consider investing in some video and lighting equipment, as well as editing software.
It can take time to build up your personal freelance business. Yet, there is more demand than ever for freelancers. So, if you want to kick start making money online through freelancing you can join one of the top freelance networks, such as UpWork, Fiverr, Guru, Freelancer.com, or PeoplePerHour. Sign up, build your profile, upload some samples of your work and start making extra money by doing small freelance jobs.
A fitness site can have numerous revenue streams. Create healthy eating plans and recipes and lock them away as premium content. Promote and sell a fitness training course, eBook, or a series of videos. Or advertise your own personal fitness services on your site. Topfithub is a good example of a fitness site with decent video content alongside product reviews.
Once you have decided what type of product you are going to sell, you need to decide where to sell them. Selling merchandise on Amazon or eBay aren’t your only options. Creating your own eCommerce store is another way to promote your products and generate sales. Once you have decided what you are going to sell, whether it is white labeled products, your own designs, or other people’s merchandise, you can set up an eCommerce website to display these products.
However, I think that while the book has a walk-through for pretty much anything you need to set up your business sites, it would have benefited from real life examples. This would have made it easier for those of us who are still learning the process. The videos from the Resources section of the website the book has links to do help somewhat with that though.
If you want to clear some space out in your house and have a big stack of books you’ve been holding onto for too long, you can make money selling your books and textbooks online. Stores like Half Priced Books and others will give you cents on the dollar for each of your current books while you can check what your book is worth by simply entering the ISBN number on Book Scouter.
Merch by Amazon is another service offered by Amazon that will enable you to make money online without any initial outlay. To get started you need to create an account with Merch by Amazon.

And you are paid a royalty for your design.
One of the easiest ways to make money online is to register for paid survey websites where you can earn money for taking surveys.

For more tips from our reviewer, like what kind of items you can sell online to make money, keep reading!
Similar to e-commerce websites such as Amazon and OLX, a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform is a marketplace for money lending activities. You can lend money to others in a more organised and structured manner using the P2P lending platform. The P2P platforms have the recovery process in place and one should understand it before using the services of the platform. Since this is an unsecured loan where there is no face-to-face interaction, a P2P lender needs to be aware of the risks involved. Currently, the interest rate earned can be anywhere from 13 percent to 30 percent.
Whether you're looking to make some fast cash, or you're after long-term, more sustainable income-producing results, there are certainly ways you can make money online today.

If you've developed valuable skill sets or picked up certifications within your industry over the years, offering your consulting services to local business owners can be a lucrative way to make money online. Whether you're an expert marketer, business strategist, or manufacturing aficionado, there's likely a local business owner who's willing to pay you to help them solve an issue with their company. Start with this 18-step checklist to becoming a local business consultant from Karyn Greenstreet and then use my guide to crafting an effective cold email to convince them to hire you.
This has become a popular business model for online entrepreneurs over the past several years, and will probably just continue to grow in popularity.

Do you constantly come up with witty one-liners? Do you dream of the days of Mad Men-style advertising? If you’ve got some branding chops or just come up with imaginative copy, there are lots of opportunities to make money online through company naming and slogan contests. If you think you have a knack for names check out namingforce.com and squadhelp.com. If you dream of coming up with witty copy, try coming up with company slogans on Slogan Slingers and Get a Slogan.
To test these websites, you’ll be asked to visit the site in question and record your reactions and thoughts as you go through it. To get started making extra money online by testing websites, sign up for some of the most popular services like UserTesting.com, Userlytics, TryMyUI, Userfeel, TestingTime (for people outside the U.S), or Side Income Jobs.
Amazon will have you work on micro-projects that require some sort of human interaction. Tasks can include translating a paragraph into English (or another language), rating the search results for certain keywords, or reworking an article. The tasks are simple, and you will be paid a small amount to complete each. But if you do enough tasks quickly, you can make a respectable amount of money.
You can also market your ebook on your own website or blog, particularly if the site gets good traffic. Still another method is affiliate marketing. You can offer to pay sites related to your ebook a percentage of the sale price – say, anywhere between 20% and 50% – for them to post an ad or linked article for your book on their site. This could enable you to market your ebook on multiple platforms for greater market exposure.

It was a death without dignity, a random fall through the cracks of a secret life.
Gilbert was a prodigy musician from San Mateo who could play any instrument; colleagues invariably called him "the most talented musician I ever met." To the rest of the world, though, his only real claim to fame lies in the credits to "Tuesday Night Music Club," the 1993 debut album by Sheryl Crow.
Lance claimed in his book that Sheryl wanted a child, and he didn't feel it was a good time for him to have kids, writing: " We were not compatible on that issue."2006Sheryl Crow dated .2006 Sheryl Crow was rumored to be dating Hank Azaria.
They had a brief relationship, with her song "My Favorite Mistake" rumored to be about the affair.
He played piano on Tuesday Night Music Club, but while the record had staying power, the affair didn't.
The two dated briefly and Gilbert shares a co-writer credit on many of Crow's most popular songs, including "All I Wanna Do".
And at the time, I was like, ‘I’ve got to go do what? I mean, how many couples have been able to pull it off? “To her credit, she was a stay-at-home — one of the biggest rock stars — but … In his book “Lance,” the former athlete explained that they parted ways because she wanted marriage and kids, but he wasn’t really ready.
it wasn’t like we never saw each other.” However, as we already know, things were much more complicated than mere spending time together.

A sustainable city addresses social, economic and environmental concerns. Their creation is led through the inclusion of eco-friendly programs and initiatives that create environmentally conscious, physical alternatives to city infrastructure. This article is divided into three sections. The first section highlights 3 cities that are green and have well connected and intensive green transport structures. Second, it then elaborates on some of the most innovative and sustainable cities. The last part of this article describes the most colourful cities that is more inviting for people to gather outdoors, making them more liveable (Krosofsky, 2021).
1. Green Cities
A city focused on sustainability and eco-friendliness is called a green city. A green city promotes energy-efficient activities and green solutions. These cities have innovative solutions in waste reduction, recycling, green transport and the expansion of green spaces and open spaces. These cities are dense, consist of sustainable transport and have extensive greenery. This section briefly describes three of the top green cities globally, namely, Curitiba, Copenhagen and Vancouver.
Not known as other cities, Curitiba, a city in Brazil, feels very different when walking around. It is the greenest city in the whole of Brazil. The city is famous for its urban planning, which is visible as creative and environmentally conscious. However, the city was not always known to be green. So, planners rebuilt the city for what is known today as a truly sustainable city. The city has several recycling programs which enable the city to reduce pollution while at the same time maintaining the biodiversity in the region. Curitiba was planted with around 1.5 million trees. The city also recycles approximately 70 per cent of all its waste through an effective waste removal program. One of the reasons for the effectiveness of the city’s waste removal program is that the people can convert their recycling into bus tokens, notebooks and food (Krosofsky, 2021).
The city also runs an outstanding rapid transit system, including quick boarding, cheap ticket prices, dedicated lanes, and first and last-mile connectivity. These elements together enhance the efficiency of these transport and reduce carbon emissions. In addition, Curitiba encourages using eco-friendly modes of transportation to minimise motorised vehicles. This is visible through the city’s extensive bike lanes and pedestrian-only streets.
Curitiba believes in environmental awareness and consists of a free environment university open to every citizen. The university educates the people on various environmental issues, including sustainability, ecology and environment. The institute, which is embodied perfectly in the urban setting, is centrally located and accessible. The entire city is placed with panels which explain and spread awareness about its inherently green designs. The city has around 28 botanical parks and surrounds the city’s urban spaces with grass fields to combat flooding, making it sustainable in its botanical spaces. These fields are maintained using sheep instead of machines, offsetting gasoline and providing manure and wool for the farms and the city (ibid.).
Copenhagen is known as the greenest city in the world. Sustainability is on the top agenda of this city and has won many awards for it. The green nature of the city is visible through its progressive environmental policy of the city, ample green spaces and expansion of green transportation. The city is designed to be conducive to bicycles and walking. The city has also adopted a mandatory green roof policy. Around 70 per cent of the population cycles in the city to reach from one place to another, making it one of the greenest transport infrastructures in the world (Ghansiyal, 2020).
This city is known for its green thinking and lifestyle. Vancouver, apart from green, is also known to be the cleanest city globally. The city runs over 90 per cent of renewable energy through hydroelectricity and is known for its detailed and elaborated mass public transportation network (Ghansiyal, 2020).
2. Cities with Innovative Solutions for Sustainability
This section highlights three cities that use innovation to address the rising challenges of cities and mitigate climate change, stimulatingly aiming to develop more sustainable cities.
Bangkok: The Green Train Tracks
Regeneration projects are an essential part of sustainability. Bangkok witnessed a shortage of green spaces till they started discovering regeneration projects. A starting example of this is visible in the urban regeneration project where an old, elevated railway line, abandoned for more than three decades, was rediscovered and converted into a city park. The outsized project’s importance as a catalyst for urban regeneration has changed how people witness public spaces (Chandran, 2020).
The project boosted wellbeing and aid in mitigating climate change. The new park called Phra Pok Klao Sky Park also connects neighbourhoods on either side of the river. The park sets an example of revitalising abandoned structures and increasing green spaces through cost-effective design. Additionally, the project is seen as a way to spreading public awareness. This is a starting innovative technique of Bangkok to increase public spaces in its city and it continues to achieve its climate goals. The park also makes it easier for people living in the area to commute on foot to cross the river bringing the city closer to gradually achieving the ’15-minute city’ concept (ibid.).
Israel: Smarter Commuting
Technology could play an essential role in using innovation to develop ways to travel faster, cleaner and more convenient. Israel has proved how to achieve this. Israel reinvents the commute for the future using algorithms that design smart commutes and routes public transportation accordingly. However, Israel still lags in its transportation systems, and it is working towards it through this innovative way. The city is reinventing mass commuting with cutting edge technology, combining pooled rides and on-demand transit services (Dror and Azaria, 2020).
The technology of mobility as a service, famously known as MaaS, sees mobility as a service that enables a person to reach from the starting point to their destination, instead of a product such as a car or a bike. Commuters using MaaS are offered a range of options or combinations which is the fastest and cleanest.
Israel in place of its existing rigid transport network, smarter commuting introduced a tailored commuting system. The algorithm calculated the most efficient journey for its passengers. Within three weeks of Maas’s launch, 12,000 responders had downloaded the app and 75000 made trips using 250 different modes through the app. Therefore, in Israel this new app is helping the city work towards its sustainable goals (Dror and Azaria, 2020).
Paris: 15-minute city
Paris is using the prototype of Rue de Rivoli for a future metropolis. The concept is based on the idea that no inhabitants of Paris will have to travel more than 15 minutes on foot or cycle to work, shop, or deal with government-related work.
Paris tested this concept by closing the city’s principal streets to cars, allowing more space for cyclists and pedestrians during the lockdown. The area now represents well used wide cycleways and sidewalks. In addition, the city aims to remove 72 per cent of its on-streetcar parking spaces, ecologically transforming the city. The 15-minute city would feature hyper proximity and essential living needs (Reid, 2020).
3. Most Colourful Cities in the World and their Sustainability
Colourful cities attract more people to spend time outdoors rather than indoors increasing their liveability. These are cities with aesthetically pleasing attractive outdoor spaces that are inviting. In addition, these cities have good pedestrian walkways and cycleways used to enjoy the colourful surroundings, rediscover the lost relationship between people and nature, bringing them closer and creating healthier, active, happier interactive cities. This section highlights 3 of the most liveable cities in the world.
Procida, an island in the Bay of Naples, is globally the most colourful city. The city represents the notion well that cultural wealth does not lie in big cities but can also be found in small ones. The city has traditional houses lined up on the waterfront in pastel colours of pink, yellow, orange, red or blue. The colour represents a traditional way for the fishers to identify their boats. The city is known as the cultural capital of Italy. People of this city enjoy walking to enjoy the colourful city. Procida is a small city that is well balanced and well connected. People of the city love to interact. The city also has several beaches and narrow alleyways (Ecosystemic Transition Unit, 2022).
The city of Procida has a population of 10,596 inhabitants with a surface of 4.26 km2. The city is famous for its beautiful landscapes, culturally traditional, peacefulness, simplicity and green principles. The city achieves the concept of cities where people are well connected to nature. The city also uses renewable energy, expanding and moving towards gradually using its full potential. Private houses consist of installations of around 300kw of PV plants. This interactive city is slowly developing and achieving its goals in terms of sustainability which is not difficult given the fact the city’s attractive and healthy interactive nature (Ecosystemic Transition Unit, 2022).
Chefchaouen is one of the most beautiful, coloured cities globally, which is also transforming to a truly green city. The city is located in the Rif Mountains of Morocco, surrounded by several national and regional parks. Chefchaouen consists of 50000 inhabitants and is an ancient intermediate city known for its blue-washed houses and walls (ICLEI, 2022).
The council of Chefchaouen prioritises sustainability in the city by enhancing biological diversity and developing ecotourism. The city is also known as a self-proclaimed green city committed to sustainable management and development. The city also prioritises sustainable energy through waste management, recycling and waste to energy. The swimming pools in the city are fitted with solar energy built from recycled containers located near an ecological centre. The city also uses actions and policies to reduce energy consumption, such as public light networks, promoting alternative e solutions, and analysing energy data. The buses used in the city are electrical. Also, the city is expanding its green spaces and has banned plastic (ICLEI, 2022).
Las Penas, the largest city in Ecuador, is known for its beautiful, colourful, centuries-old neighbourhood. The place gives a distinctly bohemian vibe. The streets are colour splashed and consist of wooded houses with white shutters and colourful studios (Knight and Morelli, 2020).
Apart from its unique, beautiful and colourful nature, the city is working towards becoming more sustainable. The city is known as the environmental capital of Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the government is trying to achieve more sustainable goals in the city in various ways. These include transportation, first and last-mile connectivity, expansion of public spaces, reducing motorised vehicles, changing minimum parking requirements to maximum limits and incentives to promote public transport. Additionally, the city is also working on waste management and renewable source of energy (Knight and Morelli, 2020).

An Annual Snapshot of the Federal Regulatory State
The scope of federal government spending, deficits, and the national debt is staggering — but so is the cost of federal regulations. In fact, the cost of federal regulation exceeds half of what the U.S. federal government spends annually.
As the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual survey of the federal regulatory state, Ten Thousand Commandments, points out: regulations impose enormous burdens on American consumers, businesses, and the economy. Unnecessary and meddlesome overregulation and intervention create uncertainty that slows innovation and economic growth. But unfortunately, regulations get little attention in policy debates. Unlike taxes, they are difficult to quantify because they are unbudgeted and often indirect.
In Ten Thousand Commandments, Crews seeks to fill this information gap, compiling the best available government and private data on these costs. By making the size and scope of America’s regulatory state more comprehensible this annual report underscores the need for more transparency, a better review process and more cost-benefit analyses for new and current federal regulations.
By shining a light on this growing “hidden tax” of regulation, author and CEI Vice President for Policy Clyde Wayne Crews aims to hold legislators and regulators accountable for the regulatory costs Washington bureaucrats impose on Americans, while also offering policy solutions for how Congress can roll back this red tape.

Harry Styles gets lessons from Adele’s vocal coach
ONE Direction’s Harry Styles is reportedly being mentored by Adele’s vocal coach in preparation for the launch of his solo career.
HARRY Styles is having singing lessons as he gears up to launch a solo career.
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter has been performing with One Direction for five years but clearly thinks his voice could do with a bit of fine tuning before he goes it alone, The Sun reported.
The group went on an indefinite hiatus last month and now he’s seeking lessons from vocal coach to the stars Ron Anderson, who has worked with Adele, Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys.
A source close to the singer said: “People may find it funny Harry needs singing lessons ahead of a solo career, but it’s pretty standard practice.
“He’s smart enough to realise he needs to learn more about how best to develop his vocal skills.
“He’s grounded and professional enough to know he needs to work hard to achieve the success he wants as a solo artist.”
He’s thought to have been gearing up to launch his solo effort for more than a year and has already penned more than 20 songs for his debut album.
And he’s recently been writing even more with Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid, who has previously collaborated with Ed Sheeran and Example.
But with plenty of songs ready to go, the former boybander knows he needs to ensure his vocals are on tip top condition as he can’t hide behind any of his bandmates.
The source told the Daily Star: “Harry’s super-excited about the next chapter in his life. Ron’s the best of the best and Harry’s planning to make enough time in his schedule for regular coaching.
“It may mean sometimes he’ll see him in Los Angeles or sometimes Ron will have to fly to London but it’s a priority for him now that One Direction are taking a break.”
While Harry is set to put his vocal talent to good use, bandmate Liam Payne, 22, has been hitting the studio with US rapper Juicy J, who featured on Katy Perry’s smash hit “Dark Horse”.
He’s made no secret of his ambition to become a successful songwriter, producer and DJ during the group’s hiatus, and works under the moniker Big Payno.
And over the last few days, the 40-year-old rapper has been sharing plenty of snaps online of the pair in the studio together.
Liam previously revealed he lent his production talents to former bandmate Zayn Malik on several occasions.
Speaking last year, he said: “I’m dead excited to hear some of his stuff.
“I did a lot of work with him in the studio when he was in the band. We used to stay up late and do rap stuff which is quite interesting, ‘cos I like to produce rap beats and stuff.
“He’s got a great voice, and he’s a very talented young man, and we wish him all the best of luck.”

I have been making an effort to use up little bits of fabric collections I have in storage. The aprons turn out to be as big as the piece of material that was left over, so it's quite fun!
I've always loved this collection with the reds, blues and browns mixed in.
This little apron had an odd size of material left over that we all thought looked like an owl...thus an owl it was! The front bib apron pocket is an owl with sequins for feathers.
Sewing this way makes many One of A Kind outfits.
Fully reversible, it can be worn either way
Little owl on the pocket
Adjustable neck strap
Cute ruffled hem
Perfect for a child aged 3- 7 in my approximation.

Mechanical stress induced in a body when some or all of its parts are not free to expand or contract in response to changes in temperature. In most continuous bodies, thermal
expansion or contraction cannot occur freely in all directions because of geometry, external constraints, or the existence of temperature gradients, and so stresses are produced. Such stresses caused by a temperature change are known as thermal stresses. Problems of thermal stress arise in many practical design problems, such as those encountered in the design of steam and gas turbines, diesel engines, jet engines, rocket
motors, and nuclear reactors. The high aerodynamic heating rates associated with high speed flight present even more severe thermal-stress problems for the design of spacecraft and missiles.

Anthony Scaramucci reportedly dined at President Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C., Monday evening, just hours after Trump removed his embattled communications director.
Scaramucci was spotted at the Trump Hotel’s BLT Prime, according to the Daily Mail.
He was joined by Katrina Pierson, Trump's campaign spokeswoman, and other administration employees, the news outlet added.
The former hedge fund manager lost his job earlier Monday, after just 10 days at the White House. His departure came on the same day that former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly assumed his new role as Trump’s chief of staff.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that Scaramucci "felt it was best to give chief of staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.”
Trump later tweeted that Monday was “a great day at the White House.”
Scaramucci’s ouster came just days after The New Yorker published a vulgar rant in which he described then-chief of staff Reince Priebus as a “a f---ing paranoid schizophrenic.”
Scaramucci's official start date was set for Aug. 15, but he was already carrying out the duties of the job, attending meetings in the White House and acting as a surrogate for Trump on television.

Community Health Sciences
Objective: We sought to understand knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-19 in pregnant women in seven low and middle-income countries (LMIC).
Design: Population-based prospective, observational study.
Settings: Study sites in DRC, Kenya, Zambia, Bangladesh, India (two sites), Pakistan and Guatemala.
Population and sample: Pregnant women in the Global Network's Maternal and Neonatal Health Registry (MNHR).
Methods: A KAP questionnaire was administered in face-to-face interviews with pregnant women from September 2020 through October 2021 in the MNHR.
Main outcome measures: KAP regarding COVID-19 during pregnancy.
Results: In all, 25 260 women completed the survey. Overall, 56.8% of women named ≥3 COVID-19 symptoms, 34.3% knew ≥2 transmission modes, 51.3% knew ≥3 preventive measures and 79.7% named at least one high-risk condition. Due to COVID-19 exposure concerns, 23.8% had avoided prenatal care and 7.5% planned to avoid hospital delivery. Over half the women in the Guatemalan site and 40% in the Pakistan site reduced care seeking due to COVID-19 exposure concerns. Of the women, 24.0% were afraid of getting COVID-19 from healthcare providers. Overall, 63.3% reported wearing a mask and 29.1% planned to stay at home to reduce COVID-19 exposure risk.
Conclusions: We found a decrease in planned antenatal and delivery care use due to COVID-19 concerns. The clinical implications of potential decreases in care are unclear, but decline in essential healthcare utilisation during pregnancy and delivery could pose challenges for maternal and newborn health. More research is needed to address the impact of COVID-19 on routine pregnancy and delivery care.

AceShowbiz - "Teen Wolf" has officially ended its run. While fans are still trying to cope with the ending of the long-running MTV series, the cast members are also having a hard time to say goodbye to their characters as well as everything in Beacon Hills.
Tyler Posey expressed his love to his character, Scott. He said to Entertainment Weekly, "He's such a goober; he's such a sweet kid. I think he's the greatest. He's inspired me a lot and motivated me to be a better person and be calmer and more zen about things and take a different approach. I just learned a lot from him. I'm going to miss him a lot. He's a bada**. He's a cool dude."
Meanwhile, Dylan O'Brien shared that he loved every single thing about Stiles. "You spend so much time with a character, you do get an attachment, and for me too that was tenfold because it was my first role ever," he added.
"Life has changed so much since I joined the show," Colton Haynes, who portrayed Jackson, said, before adding that " 'Teen Wolf' was: Friends are the family you can choose." He continued, "I said that in a really sappy text message to Dylan and Hoechlin [Tyler Hoechlin] and Posey. The friends are the family that you can choose."
Charlie Carver (Ethan) dished, "What was so fun about Teen Wolf was like the first couple of episodes with my brother [Max Carver, who played Aiden], getting to be the bad guys, there was that scene where we beat the crap out of each other on the lockers in the school hallway." He went on saying, "Going from that to where we ended up, where he got stabbed by the Oni and the whole sort of last stretch of 3B, was just a blast. I felt like as an actor I just got to try a bunch of different things and work in a bunch of different genres or worlds."
Holland Roden admitted that she would miss the sass of Lydia the most. "I'll miss being a genius and knowing the answer to everything. I'll miss magically being in perfect hair and makeup while ready to attack a creature at 3 in the morning. I'll miss the life behind the scenes of 'Teen Wolf', that's what I'll miss the most," she said.
[SPOILER ALERT!] The series finale saw the return of Stiles and Derek. The fan-favorite characters helped Scott take down Gerard and Monroe's army. But that didn't mean they successfully ended the war, as the final hour saw Scott and the pack heading out to recruit more soldiers and continue on to the next battle.
Of new werewolf in the finale, creator showrunner Jeff Davis said, "That was an idea I had a while ago, back around the fourth season actually. I'd always thought it would be interesting to see Scott out in the world somewhere meeting this new young kid who's frightened and alone and basically speaking the words to him that I want the show to say to every audience member, which is if you feel like an outsider, if you feel alone, you don't have to be."
He continued, "You'll find your pack and you can be one of us. So the character of Alec, he represents our audience and the message of the show."
When asked about Gerard's fate and whether he died, Davis gave a vague answer. "You can never tell with Gerard. He always seems to pop back up, doesn't he?" he responded.
Davis added, "We didn't want a finale that said 'the end.' We wanted it to be an 'and the adventure continues…' I like imagining that they're going off to continue the fight. I didn't want to see an end where they all have children and they're happy and at home. That felt anticlimactic to me."
In fact, the series finale won't be the end of the characters of the series. Previously, Davis revealed a plan to develop a new take on the franchise, making it into a potential anthology in podcast form.
"These characters and these stories have hit a peak," MTV president Chris McCarthy said. "We are talking with Jeff about how do we actually keep that franchise alive. And the beauty of the evolution of media is you can see the series going on through a series of podcasts and then see a resurrection of a new class in a couple years."

- Texas Farm Bureau has been staging a series of meetings about the rule changes all across the state to help farmers meet the new, expanded regulation.
Farmers are getting a break from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) On-Farm Oil/Fuel Storage regulation that would have required a written emergency operation plan to be developed and filed by Nov. 10, 2011. Because of a substantial number of Midwest farmers who objected to the deadline after suffering heavy flooding damages on their farms, the EPA announced this week the deadline for the rule has been extended until May, 2013.
Under the terms of the expanded EPA oil/fuel storage regulation, farms storing more than 1,320 gallons of oil in above ground bulk containers with a storage capacity of 55 gallons or more, and where there is a “reasonable expectation of a discharge” to a water source, would have been required to prepare and file a SPCC Plan by the November deadline.
“The EPA Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure, or SPCC program, has been in place for some time and applied to a large number of different types of industry, but under the expanded rule guidelines, farms that meet the criteria for above ground storage and that were not already included in the rule will be now fall under the new requirements,” reports Texas Farm Bureau’s George Caldwell, associate director of commodity and regulatory activities.
Common types of oil covered under SPCC found at farms include diesel fuel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic oil, and mineral oil.
According to the expanded scope of the regulation, farms storing more than 10,000 gallons of oil above ground must have their plans certified by a professional engineer, but depending on the capacity of their storage system, the regulations would allow farms with less than 10,000 gallons of storage capacity, and have a clean spill history, to self-certify their own SPCC plan.

The safety of the children of Gonzales County is a serious discussion to have, especially with the uptick in school shootings. I don’t think I’m qualified in deciding whether or not someone — whether it’s an officer, an administrator or a teacher — should be armed on campus. I have a list of reasons why I’d personally be uneasy around those weapons, but how I feel shouldn’t really play into a factor.
What I do appreciate is the discussion.
If you haven’t read yet, go look at the front page article on Nixon-Smiley CISD and their Tuesday town hall meeting discussing whether they should arm teachers. NSCISD Superintendent Cathy Lauer set the rules as clear as she can, stating the meeting was not a place for debate or argument.
“The point was for our board to have input from the community,” she said.
And that is exactly how you go about making such a decision with these implications.
I want to commend everybody involved with the town hall, from the Nixon-Smiley Student Council to the administrators who helped moderate the discussion. I felt that anyone who wanted to use their voice was able to do so Tuesday night, without feeling like they weren’t heard, and that’s pretty important.
When I write a column on the Opinion page, I don’t expect to be agreed with 100 percent of the time. I do, however, want to be heard. That’s all I need, the reader to respect my position enough to try to understand what I’m saying.
I can honestly say, Tuesday night felt like everyone was respected.
Employees spoke up, parents spoke up, even high school athlete Faith Pullin took to the microphone, announcing to the room the anxiety she feels at the thought of a teacher being armed and something going terribly wrong.
She is much braver than me.
Speaking of bravery, I couldn’t make this quote fit in the story, but I believe what Scott Jones said Tuesday needs to be shared to everyone who wasn’t able to make the town hall meeting.
First, some context.
Hector Dominguez, a longtime Nixon community member as well as a Mustang alum talked about how he initially feared for the safety of his colleagues.
“I couldn’t live with one of my colleagues here in Nixon-Smiley being a person here carrying a gun and a Nixon police officer or a Gonzales County Sheriff’s Department killing them because they didn’t know if they were the good guy or the bad guy,” he said.
Dominguez did note that his opinion has changed, because of his research and visiting with teachers, students and anyone else involved in the decision-making process.
Then Jones, current head girls’ basketball coach and girls’ coordinator, spoke up after Dominguez.
“I have three kids at school,” Jones said. “The thought of a shooter coming into one of those schools and taking them out bothers me. I would like to know there was a capable teacher in that situation that can protect my kid. Going off of Hector’s comments a while ago about a teacher possibly getting taken out. If it meant — I’m ex-military, and I would be willing to assume that responsibility if it meant taking care of your kids and taking care of my kids. Do I want that? No I don’t want it. But I think it’s a necessity or it’s coming to that point in today’s society.”
I remember interviewing Jones when he first signed on as head girls’ basketball coach back in 2014. When he told me he was ex-military, I knew, being a military child myself, the sacrifices I’m sure he’s made to get to this point in his life. So it should come as no surprise to hear that Jones would be willing to do whatever it takes for the safety of not only his children, but the safety of every other Nixon-Smiley CISD student.
The point isn’t to blow smoke at any one person. It’s to show that Nixon-Smiley CISD is going about this decision-making process the right way.
This school district is a much better place with the bravery of its members. I hope that there never comes a day where their safety measures — whatever they decide that is — will be tested against a live incident. However, whatever decision they make, I am confident that it will be well thought out and rational.

Comedonal acne is one of the most common types of acne, and while anyone of any age can experience this skin issue, it’s most common among teenagers.
Comedonal acne may cause embarrassment and frustration, but treatment and preventive measures can help you achieve clear skin. Read on to learn more about comedonal acne, including symptoms and treatments.
What is a comedone?
Comedones are skin-colored, small lesions (bumps) often found on the chin or forehead. A single comedonal lesion is called a comedo, and it’s the result of a clogged pore.
Pores are tiny openings in the skin that contain a hair follicle and a sebaceous duct, which secretes an oil known as sebum. When the cells that line the sebaceous duct multiply, it causes an increase in the production of sebum. If debris like dirt, dead skin cells and the excess sebum get trapped in the pore, it forms a bump—or comedo.
What is comedonal acne?
One of the most common types of acne, comedonal acne is characterized by many comedones, which may occur in small or large numbers, most commonly on the forehead, cheeks and chin. In some cases, it’s triggered by biological or environmental influences like hormones or skin care products.
Symptoms of comedonal acne
The primary sign of comedonal acne is the development of numerous comedones on the skin. Different types of comedones have different appearances.
Closed comedones, also known as whiteheads, form when the hair follicle is completely blocked with debris.
Open comedones, also known as blackheads, form when a skin pigment called melanin collects in the clogged pores. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not dirt that causes the comedo to appear black, but rather the oxidation of melanin when it’s exposed to air.
Microcomedones are very small papules that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
Macrocomedones. Macrocomedones are closed comedones that are larger than one millimeter in diameter. They appear as a blackhead-like opening on the surface of the skin.
Treatments for comedonal acne
Options for treating comedonal acne include topical treatments, oral medications and minor surgical procedures.
Topical treatments for comedonal acne include:
- Benzoyl peroxide, commonly found in over-the-counter acne medications
- Azelaic acid, available over the counter in various strengths
- Salicylic acid, found in prescription and over-the-counter products
- Sulfur, available in both over-the-counter and prescription strengths
- Resorcinol, a powerful exfoliator that is typically used with sulfur, but rarely alone
- Glycolic acid, which is commonly used in chemical peels
- Topical retinoids, including retinol, tretinoin and adapalene, which are available by prescription in various strengths
Oral medications used to treat comedonal acne include:
- Isotretinoin (such as Accutane)
- Hormone therapy involving oral contraceptives and/or spironolactone, a medication that reduces the hormones that may cause an overproduction of sebum
- Antibiotics, typically in the tetracycline category (like doxycycline) or the penicillin category (like amoxicillin)
Surgical treatments and procedures for comedone extraction include:
- Cryotherapy, which usually takes place in a dermatologist’s office and involves freezing lesions with liquid nitrogen to remove them
- Electrocauterization, which uses the heat from an electrical current to destroy abnormal tissue
How to prevent comedonal acne
While there’s no sure way to prevent comedonal acne, you can take steps to help minimize comedonal acne from occurring or recurring, including:
- Be gentle with your skin. Use mild cleansers, lukewarm water and a light touch
- Choose cosmetics and skin care products that are oil-free and labeled non-comedogenic, which means they don’t contain ingredients that can contribute to the development of comedones
- Shampoo your hair regularly, especially if you have oily hair
Comedonal acne is a common skin condition that most often affects teenagers, although anyone can develop the issue. The good news is that while there are many causes of comedonal acne, it is treatable. But since no two cases of comedonal acne are the same, treatment may require a period of trial and error to find the treatment or combination of treatments that work for your acne and your skin, from topical and oral medications to comedones extraction.
If you think you might have comedonal acne, or you’ve tried unsuccessfully to treat it yourself, make an appointment with your dermatologist. Together, you can formulate a treatment plan and take action. With a little time and patience, you can send those comedones packing and create the framework for a lifetime of clear skin.

People First, Place Second
PROVO, Utah – Apr 29, 2020 – When BYU Marriott MPA professor Rob Christensen hit a crossroad in his career, he took the path that led to a semester-long sabbatical in Europe. After spending three months in Milan and a month and a half in London during fall 2019, Christensen reflects back on his time abroad and is grateful for the research opportunities he was given and the networking experiences he had.
After teaching and researching at other universities for more than a decade, Christensen joined BYU in 2016. As a new BYU employee, he enrolled in the BYU Faculty Center’s New Faculty Development Series where he learned about and was encouraged to explore his college’s sabbatical possibilities.
That opportunity came several years later, and Christensen decided to see how a sabbatical in Europe would enrich the new chapter of his BYU experience. The opportunity was made possible with encouragement and generous financial support from the BYU Marriott School of Business and its Romney Institute of Public Service and Ethics and Whitmore Global Management Center. Christensen also received assistance from the BYU Kennedy Center.
Christensen’s first sabbatical stop was Bocconi University located in Milan. While there, Christensen researched and developed theories about local government competitiveness. “We often think of business organizations as being competitive, but we don’t realize how government organizations can be equally as competitive,” says Christensen. “We are missing an opportunity to borrow some of that competitive thinking to suggest better ways that we can provide, envision, and consume government.” Christensen and his team were not alone in this research. They worked with scholars in South Korea to expand their reach and make the project an even larger international effort.
On the second leg of his trip, Christensen worked at University College London, where he focused his research on employee behavior and motivation. More specifically, Christensen studied public-service motivation. In his own words, public-service motivation is what orients some students to take a job in government or nonprofit organizations after graduation versus for-profit companies.
Christensen enjoyed researching this topic because he is passionate about public service. Though his time in London has ended, Christensen continues to work with his colleagues at University College London on completing their research with the goal of getting it published.
What stood out the most to Christensen about his sabbatical experience was the networking he was able to do. Using Milan and London as his home bases, Christensen traveled to several other universities to share his research and receive feedback. “The thing I took away the most was gratitude for the ability to connect with so many people in such a relatively short amount of time,” says Christensen. “Connecting with others exposed me to new ways of thinking and solving problems.” In each city he traveled to, Christensen learned to focus more on the people first and the place second, making his experience richer as he learned about his colleagues’ personal lives.
Christensen is especially grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with his wife and two of his daughters. As a family, they enjoyed traveling and experiencing new places, cultures, food, and especially people.
Now that Christensen is back at BYU Marriott, he feels re-energized and ready to take on his classes, both in the classroom and online. Christensen loves teaching and is inspired by his students. “BYU students want to make an impact in the world and help their communities,” said Christensen. “Having students like ours is energizing.”
Being a professor in the MPA program is one of the most rewarding things for Christensen, and he looks forward to translating what he learned from his sabbatical back into the classroom to better teach his students.
