Market intelligence consist of various strategies and techniques that enable a business to gather, evaluate and get the essential business information for decision-making. Such systems exemplify the importance of market intelligence in a variety of fields like market research and its segmentation, inventory management, product development and productivity and statistical evaluation. Each and every business-intelligence program must have some particular goal whether short term or long term. Additionally, it increases your control over information and these conclusions are applicable to all kind of industries. The folks using market intelligence procedures utilize application software and unique technologies. Such tools analyze and prepare information to be used to make important decisions. Businesses understand that understanding the customer is the secret to success. Market intelligence is the route by which a business can collect information about the client and examine it.
The procurement market intelligence makes better connections and boost manufacturing and supply. It follows both internal and external business methods to improve competitiveness. Additionally it is important to understand that how market intelligence process functions. The first thing you need to do would be to ask questions related to various areas of your business and following that map different source whereby you receive answer of your queries. The sources mainly consist of web page, discussion group, external specialists etc.. Each and every data source is to be managed in its own way and after that assess the data available is right or not. A vital notion of business is that information is improved into information and then into knowledge. Business use MI to gain an edge in the marketplace by understanding their client’s needs, client’s decision-making procedures, and technological trends.
Market Intelligence involves assessing not only the client but the whole industry as a whole. In the end, market intelligence is driven by a target set by the organization. The goal can be short term or long term. In BI, the current state of business is evaluated by using Key Performance Indicators KPI. Previously, information was available after one or two weeks, which failed to help businesses adjust their plans in a timely way. More recently, however, banks have tried to make data available earlier and with shorter periods, especially for businesses that have greater operational or credit risk loading I.E. wealth management and credit cards. Some companies can get information each week, which helps them adapt their plans better than ever before. Market intelligence is also about understanding the market, including competitors and market trends. A business which has the most accurate comprehension of its marketplace will be adequately prepared for the continual changes that inescapable happen in markets. Market intelligence is an important concept for any business to understand, since it is going to help them to get new customers, retain old customers, and see a positive ROI.

WASHINGTON — Protesters tried to pull down a statue of President Andrew Jackson near the White House on Monday night before being dispersed by police.
WUSA-TV in Washington reported that police used pepper spray to move protesters out of Lafayette Square, where the Jackson statue is located. Videos posted on social media showed that the protesters had climbed on the statue and tied ropes around it, then tried to pull it off its pedestal.
The statue shows Jackson in a military uniform, riding a horse that is rearing on its hind legs. The 19th century president’s ruthless treatment of Native Americans has made his statue a target of demonstrators protesting the United States’ legacy of racial injustice.
The Jackson statue remained on its pedestal Monday night.
On June 1, law enforcement officers forcefully cleared peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square so President Donald Trump could stage a photo op at a nearby church.

Parliament could be suspended for five months as part of government’s coronavirus plan
PUBLISHED: 10:48 05 March 2020 | UPDATED: 11:20 05 March 2020
Parliament could be suspended until the end of September as part of proposals for tackling the coronavirus.

Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
The Times reports that as part of plans for parliament, the House of Commons and Lords could be stopped from returning to the chambers after the Easter recess.
It would mean MPs rising on March 31st and not returning until the end of September in the "longest summer recess we have known", a parliamentary source told the newspaper.
Parliament bosses also want to limit the number of people who can enter the estate before a shutdown, claiming that politicians are essentially "super-spreaders".
"We've got 650 people who spend half the week spread across the country meeting their constituents and the other half rubbing up against one another in Westminster," a source claimed. "It's 650 super-spreaders."
Jacob Rees-Mogg has said there are no plans to close the Houses of Parliament.
The Commons leader told MPs: "There are no plans to close the House down."
He said: "The public will expect parliament to sit and get on with its job. Parliament has proven itself to be very resilient over the years.
"There is no medical reason on current advice to think that shutting parliament would be necessary or helpful."
Rees-Mogg added: "Our approach will be guided by the best scientific evidence and medical advice and we'll take all necessary measure to deal with this outbreak.
"I can assure the house I'm engaging with the parliamentary authorities to emphasise how important it is that any decisions are taken in line with the advice of the chief medical officer, and a cross-parliamentary group of senior managers is meeting daily to plan the response to Covid-19 and ensure business continuity with input from Her Majesty's government."
Last year an attempt to suspend parliament in September to help force through a no-deal Brexit was deemed "unlawful" by Supreme Court judges.
Jacob Rees-Mogg was accused of misleading the Queen for the reasons he gave for asking for the prorogation.

This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Sea turtles have been roaming the Earths oceans for over 100 million years and currently have been limited to a mere seven species (14). All of these species are currently labelled as vulnerable or endangered and are the focus of many conservation management programs (6). The green turtle, Chelonia mydas is one such endangered species, found not only in Australia but world-wide.
The green turtles declining numbers have been a concern for some time and this paper not only provides an overview of the turtle but also addresses the issues surrounding the reasons for decline in population numbers and the current attempts to reverse the effects relating to its endangered status.
The green turtle is listed relating to its taxonomy as Animalia, Chordata, Reptilia, Testudinata, Cheloniidae, Chelonia mydas (15) as per Linnaeus in 1758. The C. Mydas has only the one common name of green turtle. There are two taxonomic families relating to marine turtles. These include the Cheliniidae and the Dermochelyiidae, with six and one species belong to each respectively (14).
Despite the common misconception that the green turtle is named after it shell-colour, its name originates from the green fat deposits found surrounding their internal organs (8).
Green turtles can grow up to 1.5 metres long and can weigh up to 200 kg however these sizes vary due to their different habitat and environmental pressures (8). The green turtle is one of the biggest marine turtles despite its smaller head (REF). Its carapace is usually a circular or heart shaped and can be up to 1m in length (15). Shell colours can vary between green, brown, reddish-brown and or black on top; with usually a white or cream hue underneath (15). It has also be described by (15) that there are four pairs of shell plates located on either side of the middle of the upper shell, called costal shields.
Eggs when examined in their nest, located on specific beaches, have a mean diameter of 4.6 cm (5).
Hatchlings have a carapace of black and pure white below (15). They have been measured to be approximately 5cm in length and weigh 25g (15).
The difference in sex can be identified by the curve of the carapace length (MORE ) (8).
In a controlled experiment it was shown by (3) that the growth rates of the green turtle can be as varied from 0.1 to 10.cm/yr, with a mean average of 4.2cm/year, this being due to difference environmental pressures and other contributing factors, such as diet.
The green turtle is an herbivorous reptile, with its diet mostly consisting of seagrasses and algae (5). However juveniles are carnivorous, their diets not only consisting of plants but jellyfish and small invertebrates (5). The main plant consumed by the C. mydas is the Thalassia grass, which they maintain by continuously re-cropping (3). Most of their forage fodder is found at least 2m below the ocean's surface, thus they must dive for their food (1). Researchers Hadjichristophorou and Grove found that on a daily basis the turtles only ate 0.24 and 0.33 % of their body weight (9). The green turtles digestion, as it consists mainly of leafy greens, is aided by cellulose based microflora present in the gut (9). The green turtle has found to be as efficient as an ruminant with respect to fibre digestion (10) with the cecum as the initial site of cellulose based activity. The gut fermentation that occurs in the turtles provides a large amount of energy with the colon as the main active site of fermentation (10).
As well as travelling long distances it has been measured that green turtles can reach speeds up to 24 kph. They have a very efficient respiration system which is essential as turtles swim for long periods of time and are subject to various pressures as they dive. The turtle enables a rapid exchange of oxygen to all tissues at extreme rate despite the external pressure. The turtle's ability to hold its breath is compromised by strenuous activity and stress. Thus when turtles are caught in fishing nets they can drown in a relatively short amount of time.
A female green turtle will reach sexual maturity at approximately 8.95 years old (4). Their trend follows such that at intervals of 2 to 10 years, the female will migrate from their designated feeding ground to their nesting rookeries (2). The travelling between these two areas can be anywhere between 100 to 1000 km (2). The females will utilize many beaches but their choices are specific and they can leave many suitable beaches desolate (2). In any one nesting season a female has the potential to lay two to seven clutches of eggs, with each clutch consisting of roughly 100 eggs, after which they will return to the feeding grounds (2). It is unknown why but the females will return faithfully to the same nesting sites, or rookeries, the following breeding season (2).
In the breeding season the female will undergo a certain 'heat' period, which lasts between two to four days, where she will become sexually receptive to male advances (4). The green turtle also follows a form of 'courtship' prior to mating. The courtship consists of many actions and expressions including floating high in the water, females will circle to face the male head-on, participation in active pursuit and the pressing of hind flippers over the cloacal region (4).
It has been found through extensive research by (12) that turtle egg sex is temperature dependant. It was shown that higher incubation temperatures, above 30'C, produce more females and lower temperatures, between 24-28'C, will result in more males (12).
After the hatchlings emerge from their nest, they make their way to the ocean and proceed to migrate offshore in what is called a 'swimming frenzy,' which lasts between 24 to 36 hours (1). These juveniles will then spend their first few years in an oceanic habitat before proceeding to a sub-adult stage then they migrate to lower ocean depths where they stay for approximately a decade before reaching maturity (14).
The green turtle inhabits both tropical and subtropical areas in every major ocean (2). It prefers to remain in 20'C isotherms but will venture into deeper water (2). The types of areas the turtle inhabits include the feeding ground, mating areas, inter-nesting habitats and pelagic waters (6). Through tracking experiments it has been shown by (2) that hatchlings and juveniles travel and inhabit several different habitats before reaching maturity, these movements are extensive and random and can be difficult to track.
The Chelonia mydas has a complex life path which is difficult to follow as they involve large spatial and temporal scales (2). It is much easier to keep track of female green turtles as they come ashore during nesting season, males however rarely leave the ocean, thus most of the available research has been done on nesting females (2). It would be beneficial to attempt to research more on the males, especially their fertility as it would be a serious contributing factor to any conservation management plans.
It has been shown by (10) that green turtles, and other species of marine turtles, use the Earth's magnetic field as a source of directional information when travelling extreme distances. They learn the magnetic topography of their feeding grounds and maintain a 'magnetic map' allowing them to return to certain places visited before, it is not however the only directional aid used, they also use unknown non-magnetic cues (10).
In Australia, the green turtles most frequented breeding sites are the Great Barrier Reef, the north-west side of Western Australia and the Wellsley Islands (5). The turtles and their close relatives have been utilized for many purposes, including as a meat source, by costal cultures over thousands of years, however recent research by (2) has shown that due to over harvesting in the last four centuries, several populations have been driven to extinction and greatly reduced others.
Before the arrival of Europeans, it has been shown that green turtle populations were controlled by food abundance levels (3), this density dependent effect would have naturally regulated the populations. The decrease in turtle numbers since the Europeans arrival has been estimated to have reached approximately 99% (3). The dramatic declines and extinctions are a result of serious over exploitation (3).
REASONS FOR DECLINE
Every species of marine turtle are classed to varying degrees as endangered, due to a broad range of reasons. They include: by-catch of commercial fisheries, nest disturbance, marine pollution, Indigenous harvest, predation and damage of eggs by wild animals such as dogs, raccoons, pigs and goannas (5).
There is also a certain degree of harvest, for both their eggs and meat, occurring by neighbouring countries; other contributing factors include disease, coastal development and loss of habitat (6). Marine turtles are prone to become inflicted with a disease known as fibropapillomatosis, which results in multiple tumours on the skin and also on internal organs (6). Such tumours inhibit the turtle's ability to swim, forage and breathe and are a contributor to the mortality rate (6).
There are many current management plans in place to protect all Australian marine turtles. However in the case of the C. mydas there is lacking research done on the male green turtles, especially in terms of their fertility which would be a major contributing factor to increasing the green turtle populations.
In 2003 a national recovery plan was implemented to reduce the mortality of all marine turtles (5). These recovery strategies aim to address the issues surrounding the many causes for decline in the green turtles. These problems include maintenance of sustainable harvest, implementing monitoring programs, improving reproductive success, protecting their habitat and increasing international communication with countries of the same mind (5).
These plans are executed though education of the public and children to not disturb nesting areas, the use of turtle excluder devices, laws and legislation implementation to reduce the amount of land clearing, urban and industrial development in critical areas (6). The estimated cost of recovery for all marine turtles is $5.64m over a five year period (6).
The green turtle has been described as one of the most economically important reptiles, as its meat and eggs are one of the main sources of protein for third world countries. The methods currently in place are proving to be successful. Of the current research done on the green turtle it shows that although the populations are improving there are still areas of research that need to be conducted to improve these management successes and awareness needs to the encouraged so numbers do not decrease again.

I was caught in the mid of greater Thal desert at 4am in the morning. There were sand dooms and nothing else. The bus went out of order and no solution left to reach the nearest locality from where I could catch the bus and reach home far away from here. Then came Google Maps on my cell phone. And finally I was aable to come out of this barren desert where no water, human beings, and other life symbols.
But few things I wanted to mention are as follows:
iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad)
Windows Mobile (NOT Windows Phone 7 as of Dec 17 2010)
Nokia/Symbian (S60 3rd edition only)
Symbian OS (UIQ v3)
Phones with Java-Platform (MIDP 2.0 and up), for example the Sony Ericsson K800i
Palm OS (Centro and newer)

In a speech given in 1989 at the Libertarian Party convention, Murray Rothbard, the founder of the modern American Libertarian Movement, in discussing reaction to the sentencing and income of Michael Milken, made the following comment about Donald Trump.
Rothbard quotes the New York Times as discussing the reaction of three famous individuals to the sentencing of Milken, and his $550 million/yr income: John Kenneth Galbraith, Donald J. Trump, and David Rockefeller. Galbraith, who made millions criticizing Capitalism, thought it was outrageous. Rockefeller opined that anyone who could make such an income showed a serious imbalance in our financial system.
When it came to Trump, Rothbard said, “The other was Donald J. Trump, of all the nerve, saying ‘You can be happy on less money than that.’ What gall, what chutzpah!”
All three observations elicited intense laughter from the audience.

Over the years the RPG genre is very rarely synonymous with fast-paced action. In fact most of the time they are epic quests that run well into the 30 hour mark (with some even extending into the ludicrous 100+ hour scenario) that revolve around carrying out tedious fetch quests and of course talking to every man, woman, and child in the world. One series that has always broken the fourth wall when it comes to this has been the Atelier Iris franchise. Now with the PS2 in it's final stretch Nippon Ichi has decided to grace gamers with the third chapter in this fan-favorite series Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm, which is easily the best in the series.

A claim of “credible fear” of being returned home allows most immigrants from Central America a free pass into the U.S. And most remain even though few are actually granted asylum, Department of Justice and UN data show.
The easy pass granted to immigrants, mostly from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, who show up at U.S. ports of entry has led to a more than 800 percent increase in asylum claims from Central America in the past six years, the data show.
Statistics show that only 5 percent are granted asylum.
From 2012 to 2017, asylum claims from Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans have gone from 8,519 to 76,023, an increase of 892 percent.
“It’s not that conditions have changed much in these countries, but that they figured out that asylum was a way to get in the door,” said immigration policy expert Jessica M. Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies. “Clearly, the lenient policies that enable people to get into the United States just by claiming a fear of return – the ‘credible fear’ standard – is attracting more and more people every year.”
According to the DOJ and UN statistics, in 2016, more than 10,000 Honduran immigrants made asylum claims. Only 670 were approved. Of 17,000 El Salvadoran claims sought, just 753 were granted. Of 11,000 asylum claims from Guatemalans, fewer than 700 were granted.
“Something is wrong if we are approving 80 percent of the new arrivals for entry under the current ‘credible fear’ standard, but so few of them actually are approved,” Vaughan said. “They know they can make this claim and will be allowed in with no consequences, and can disappear into the larger illegal population, and may or may not show up for their immigration proceedings.”
Most of the surge came under former President Barack Obama and it overwhelmed immigration courts, Vaughan said.
“The reality is that many do not even file a formal application after we let them in on ‘credible fear’ and if they do, they often don’t show up for their hearing, and if they do and they are denied, they hide instead of show up for removal,” Vaughan said. “This is a farce that clogs up the asylum system and denies swift protection to the deserving applicants and their families.”

Sigh, it is. I’ve said it before but endless summer isn’t. I moved to the beach mid-June and had the whole summer ahead of me. But that was then, and now it’s August. Actually, things don’t change that much. Gregg Whiteside on WRTI tells me every morning that the day’s going to be another two minutes less of sunshine. Two minutes a day I can deal with, and I’ve still got two months before I have to return to the Old Folks Farm.
The beach and the bay still beckon, whether a perfect day or one with a stiff wind out of the west with whitecaps. Here’s the view we’ve enjoyed looking west from Barb’s place in Holgate this summer.
Sunrise at the “new” beach? Priceless. The reclamation project is pretty much done at the southern end of LBI, with some fine tuning such as gravel walkways over the new dunes. The scene below is from the parking lot at the end of Holgate. The beach chair occupant? He’s the over-night guardian to protect us from the replenishment pipes and equipment on the other side of the dune.
By early July the project had extended this dune to cover the old wooden jetty that bordered the surfing beach at the beginning of the Forsythe Refuge. The dredges at sea pumped tons of sand sludge onto the beach, and dozers such as this one moved it as the Corps of Engineers had decreed. This took me back to my Sea Bee days.
Farewell to the jetty and also to the surfing beach because the jetty had created the surf. Sic transit gloria.
Being a photographer at the beach summer after summer is challenging; where’s the new scene or the new perspective? Well, you have to keep your eyes and your head open and hope you’ll luck out once in a while. Here’s one that surprised me. Sitting on Barb’s deck at sunset I noticed the bay’s reflection in the windows of the house next door, and I loved it. Even more when I developed it and discovered that the undulations in the window glass had created a rolling sea on the quiet bay surface.
Another surprise grab shot was this scene. I had gone to the beach to photograph a post-storm rainbow. Beautiful? Yes. Impressive? Sort of. But, (yawn) another rainbow on the beach. When I turned around and climbed the dune to return, however, here was a reminder of how narrow this sandbar is on which we live. I’m on the beach dune and one can see the end of the street at the bay, only 1900′ away. Composition Guideline: always look behind you after you’ve taken your shot.
My favorite summer event is the Twilight Sail. This year some heavy duty thunder storms were smashing the mainland so Barb and I demurred. I felt it confirming when our Fleet Captain also declined. Anyway, four vessels took off for the edge of the world, including our now Beach Haven resident A-cat, Ghost (the taller mast below). They all returned safely.
I was impressed with the blue world into which they were sailing. Made me think of a colleague’s photography business, Twilight Blue Photography. (No charge, Pat.)
Well, so what if it’s August. Summer’s still here and I’m stickin’ around, too.
Here was the month’s first sunset; Well Done August!

Job cuts at Oyo, across multiple roles and business functions, are likely to intensify, said senior company executives, as the SoftBank-backed hotel chain struggles to rein in costs and shore up its bottom line.
The magnitude of the firings may be “far larger” than expected, they said on the condition of anonymity. A significant chunk of the 12,000-strong workforce at the Gurgaon-headquartered company is likely to be impacted by the aggressive retrenchment move, they said.
When contacted by ET, Oyo spokespersons denied that there were further retrenchments in the offing and said that such information is “factually incorrect and misleading.”
The layoffs are happening even as Oyo is reportedly battling allegations ranging from anti-competitive practices to tax evasion, among others.
Valuation Under Scanner
Its position as India’s second most valuable startup – deemed to be worth $ 10 billion — has also come under scanner, especially after founder and group CEO Ritesh Agarwal undertook a $2.5-billion financing round last year in order to buy out early investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital, and increase his stake in the company to about 30%.
The turmoil within Oyo follows the high-profile churn at another SoftBank–backed startup WeWork, where a drastic decline in valuation put paid to plans of an IPO and led to the exit of founder Adam Neumann. Since then SoftBank has reportedly resorted to stringent measures to ensure the debacle is not repeated in other portfolio companies. The Japanese company currently holds about 50% in Oyo and has so far invested over $1 billion in the hospitality company.
On Monday, in an internal email to employees, Agarwal confirmed that the company was undertaking layoffs in a bid to be profitable and create greater operational efficiencies though he did not specify the exact number of people who would be fired.
Oyo clocked unaudited net loss of Rs 2,384.69 crore for the financial year 2019, up from Rs 360.43 crore in the previous financial year, according to a valuation report filed by the company in November last year. Operating expenses for the period jumped more than 390% to Rs 6,131.66 crore, while employee benefit expenses also rose almost six-fold to Rs 1,538.85 crore.
Agarwal’s note, which also charted out the company’s strategic goals for 2020, came almost a month after ET had reported on December 19 that the company was in the process of sacking about 2,000 employees across functions in India by January.
Layoffs across roles
The current wave of layoffs include profiles including city heads and employees in other leadership and managerial roles.
People familiar with the matter said the layoffs across divisions are being reflected in a series of exits from Oyo’s internal WhatsApp groups.
The company begun the process of notifying thousands of staffers individually about their status in the organisation through individual emails on Monday. Layoffs in locations like Delhi and Jaipur were communicated to the staff on Monday, while Gurgaon employees were notified on Tuesday. The people cited above said the company fired about 200 employees in Delhi on Monday.
Last week, ET also reported that the income-tax authorities had conducted a ‘recovery survey’ — usually undertaken to investigate a company’s ability to pay the taxes due after its liabilities are determined — at its Golf Course Road office in Gurgaon.
At that time, an Oyo spokesperson had described it as a routine survey to determine the tax deducted at source (TDS) by the company.
The tenth and series finale workshop of the Reimagining Tech in 2022 series was titled Accelerate productivity with no-code app development. It explored how no-code app development solutions can empower citizen developers and business users with zero coding knowledge, to build apps that are secure, flexible, and scalable without putting a strain on engineering or IT resources.

THERESA, N.Y. (WWTI) – United States Border Patrol agents based in Wellesley Island made a big arrest on Wednesday, November 15 that seized nearly 70 pounds of marijuana that had been smuggled into the country.
Border Patrol agents initiated a traffic stop to perform an immigration inspection on State Route 411 just after midnight. During the inspection and through investigative steps, agents discovered two large garbage bags that contained 65 vacuum sealed packages of marijuana.
The packaged marijuana was determined to have a street value of more than $209,000. The trafficking of marijuana in New York state remains illegal under state and federal law.
The partnership the Border Patrol has with our local prosecutors is crucial in the removal of illegal narcotics.Andrew Regan, Patrol Agent in Charge
The male driver, a Unites States citizen, and marijuana was turned over to the Metro-Jefferson County Drug Task Force to face charges for Criminal Possession of Cannabis in the first degree. The subject is currently remanded with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The system does not share your individual phone number…Berkeley Well-being Institute Betterhelp… with the therapist and everything is done through the app.
Live video session
You can also schedule a video session with your therapist if you’re someone who delights in face-to-face conversation. Simply visit at your consultation time and your counselor will trigger you to begin the video chat.
Anyhow, as it occurs, I am slightly tweaked in the head– so well played, Facebook algorithms. From the age of about 13 onwards, I have actually experienced higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I’ve primarily concerned terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I definitely wouldn’t mind being less so. I have actually had counselling prior to, and it does help. Could e-counselling not just re-hinge my mind, however do so without me having to put trousers on and leave the home?
And pulling back from my own (relatively subtle) concerns for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health issues intensifying amongst under-30s? With cuts to mental health services truly starting to bite, digitised therapy could be simply the ticket for young people who currently filter nearly every element of their lives– good friends, work, sex, home entertainment– through a screen.
Not everybody is totally persuaded that shifting mental health care online is the method forward. “For me, what operate in therapy is when you meet someone face-to-face, in the very same space,” says London-based psychotherapist Sandra Tapie. “You are familiar with not only what it resembles to speak to the person, but how it feels to be in a space with them. Utilizing Skype is the next best thing: it’s ‘sufficient’, however it does not develop the nearness, the intimacy, that actually gets people to open and check out things.”
” I’ve carried out some research study into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of standard counselling; it’s simply not quite the same thing. It’s really important that individuals who participate in it are aware that it’s a different experience from being in the room with somebody, speaking in person.”
” In regards to accessibility, it’s a good start and definitely better than nothing. It’ll hopefully lead them to ultimately appearing in the space. If you’re having a hard time with relationship concerns, attachment concerns, or deeper concerns, it’s better to be in the space with somebody. Skype and the internet provides a range from your counsellor that might not be practical.”
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some patients towards online programmes rather than face-to-face counselling, a phenomenon that worries Dr Balick.
If it’s rolled out simply to conserve cash and there aren’t critical questions being asked about these services, that’s not excellent. Then, I’m always really sceptical of people who are either extremely really pro or very very against online psychological health care.
Well, if the future of mental health care is all about IMs, FaceTime and ‘OMG, which neuroses R U?’ tests, I chose I ‘d find out what that brave brand-new world would be like. I registered for four extremely various online psychological health services– ranging in expense from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my anxieties through them all, simultaneously, for a week. Here’s what I discovered.
Does BetterHelp use licensed therapists? Berkeley Well-being Institute Betterhelp
What I’m doing here is evaluating my experience of using each psychological health service, rather than its effectiveness – due to the fact that even the most wizard-like therapist isn’t going to ‘treat’ you in simply one week. Okay, cool – let’s psychological health!
How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), US company is the corporate behemoth of the e-counselling game. They claim to have 500 licensed counsellors working for them, each with at least three years of experience.
After filling out a survey to determine what specific flavour of psychological you are, you’re coupled with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly swap for a different one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then start an immediate messaged therapy session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, go on and on till among you eventually passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a totally free seven-day trial – similar to a complimentary Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, other than with way more concerns about what your childhood resembled. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for limitless message-based counselling and one ‘complimentary’ phone session with your counsellor per month. Yeah, I do not get how it’s complimentary either, however whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
Filtering that through instant messaging might be helpful if you discover the idea of baring your soul to a stranger a bit awks. You won’t get the very same connection just like face-to-face counselling, however the semi-anonymity might make it simpler to open up if you’ve been drinking two bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan’s wedding dress every night.
She first ascertained the scale of my anxiety, what activates it– social scenarios, fulfilling individuals for the first time– and then dived headlong into my fractious childhood (separated moms and dads, strained familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was pretty nosey tbh, but then that’s her job, isn’t it?
In general, the service is impressively slick. The discussion can be a little stop-starty at times, but it was really a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I anticipated. I even got rapid actions to messages over the weekend, which was unforeseen.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The fact you can modify messages prior to sending them indicates you’re not likely to blurt out something unguarded and revealing in the heat of the minute. Extensive moments of realisation may be hard to come by if you can’t get a relaxed flow going.
Who do I believe it might it be good for?
Anyone with a low-end psychological health concern who’s cool with getting counselled in a very internet-y, 2016-y way. If you’re living under the blackest, bleakest cloud possible and need serious attention (and perhaps some meds), most likely isn’t for you Berkeley Well-being Institute Betterhelp

” Waterloo ” is by ABBA, the Swedish pop group. The song was taken from their second Album by the same name. Written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with vocals by both Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
” Waterloo ” was to be the first single for both Epic and Atlantic labels and the first single to be credited as the group ABBA.
The song isn’t about the famous battle in Belgium where Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the Duke of Wellington in 1815, but a metaphor for a woman’s submission to a man’s advances and her finally falling in love with him, he’s her ” Waterloo “. ABBA references the battle when using the metaphor throughout the song.
The song won the Eurovision Song Contest on the 6th of April 1974 and laid the foundations to Worldwide fame and fortune for ABBA. The Swedish version of the song had the flip side as ” Honey, Honey “, while the version in English featured ” Watch Out ” on the reverse side.
Written originally with a title of ” Honey Pie ” and as a sort of Rock and Jazz, type feels, only to be ditched later, for now, more familiar and indeed popular disco rhythm.
” Waterloo ” went on to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 by six points, what was unusual at the time is the group sung the song in English and not their native tongue.
Not only did ABBA win the Eurovision Song Contest but the song enjoyed success across the World. In the United Kingdom, it reached number one and held it for two weeks, becoming the group’s first of 9 UK number ones.
Success didn’t end there though; Abba scored a Number One with ” Waterloo ” in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, West Germany, Ireland, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland.
In addition to topping the charts in those countries, the song also reached the top three in Austria, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and the group’s native country of Sweden.
Abba also enjoyed success with ” Waterloo ” outside of Europe with a top ten placement in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Rhodesia. In the United States, the song reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

Dream Games, a newly founded studio based in Istanbul, has raised $7.5 million in seed funding. The investment round took place against the backdrop of the explosive growth that Turkey’s game development community is experiencing.
Dream Games. Image Credit: TechCrunch
The investors included such companies as Makers Fund and Balderton Capital.
Dream Games was founded by five former Peak Games developers. They will use the funding to grow the studio that will specialize in casual games. The goal for year one is to expand the company to 20 employees.
Soner Aydemir, co-founder at Dream Games and former product director at Peak Games, lays out his vision of the studio’s future, via VentureBeat:
“Supercell built amazing games with very small teams. Proving you don’t need huge teams spread across regions to build something people want to play. What you do need, however, is a talented team. We plan to focus our investments on building a highly skilled team to develop high-quality games.”
Once the team is assembled, the strategy is to identify the problems of casual games currently on the market and then translate the solutions into a high-quality project that would be sustainable in the long run. No comparisons with Supercell here: Finland’s studio is as prolific as it is ruthless in cancelling their underperforming titles.
We plan to fix the pain points for players in existing games and our experience makes us confident we can build something truly global by focusing on a single high-quality, long-standing game instead of multiple flash-in-the-pan titles. We’d rather people were loyally playing our one game for 10 years than losing interest every six months when something new comes along.
Soner Aydemir, co-founder at Dream Games
Turkey, in general, is becoming a major hub for casual game development, attracting the interest of big companies like Zynga. The mobile gaming giant acquired Turkey’s Peak Games in 2017 and Gram Games in 2018.
Over the last two years, a number of hyper-casual gaming studios have emerged in the region, including Good Job Games, Ruby Games, Alictus, Rollic Games and Bigger Games. Michael Cheung, partner at Makers Fund, believes that Istanbul “will be the next major hub for gaming.”

Peerless Vettel proves it really is a lone star state at US Grand Prix in Texas
Yee-Ha for Sebastian Vettel, whose streak of utter dominance was extended to a record eighth straight win in a single season at yesterday’s US Grand Prix.
Alas, he was the day’s lone star on a sun-kissed Texan track. A crowd of 110,000 packed into this fabulous complex but they were served up perhaps the least entertaining race of 2013 because nobody and no team is equal to the German superman.
The lack of a contest will not exactly help Formula One crack its last, vast, rich frontier when the racing did little to match the all-American pre-race razzmatazz starring the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and a marching band under the direction of not one but two conductors.

Peerless: Sebastian Vettel won a record eighth Grand Prix in Austin, Texas
But, despite the race and the nagging belief that the sport is too cerebral and too European compared to the rougher and tougher world of Nascar, there was a great party atmosphere in Austin all weekend for this second running of the Grand Prix here.
Restaurants were packed, the streets pedestrianised and the bars overflowing. Only Montreal of major cities lives and breathes the wider Formula One experience when it visits the way Austin does.
Even Sir Jackie Stewart, one of the few Formula One luminaries who is well known in the States, entered into the spirit of the occasion by wearing a sheriff’s badge and Stetson in the paddock.
Perks of the job: Vettel celebrates his win with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders
The track, too, looked wonderful. The steep first corner, a left-hander, is the highlight. Yet it was navigated safely when the lights went out.
However, Mark Webber, Vettel’s Red Bull team-mate, slipped back from second on the grid to fourth, his side of the track proving a hindrance to all who started there.
Despite a brief early safety-car phase after Adrian Sutil’s Force India became entangled with Pastor Maldonado’s Williams, the pattern was established. Vettel was commanding in front. Romain Grosjean, of Lotus, was second virtually throughout.
Mumm's the word! Vettel (C) is sprayed with champagne by Mark Webber (R) and Romain Grosjean (L)
From the heart: Vettel told his Red Bull team that he loved them after the race
Webber had a little more to do to pass Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, doing so on the outside at the hairpin, to claim third place. However, he could not pass Grosjean in the closing seconds to make it a Red Bull one-two.
Vettel, whose win meant he surpassed the record he shared with Michael Schumacher and Alberto Ascari on seven consecutive wins, spoke to the team over the radio to declare himself ‘speechless’.
Nevertheless, he managed to add: ‘We have to remember these days. We can’t guarantee they will last for ever. Incredible team — I love you.’
Hamilton’s radio messages were less effusive. He barked at his race engineer Pete Bonnington’s tyre update: ‘That’s what I am doing, man. Let me focus.’
Beat it! Lewis Hamilton, wearing a Michael Jackson tribute helmet, was less pleased with his Mercedes team
Minutes later, he chided the pit wall for a lack of information.
‘You need to give me some feedback, man — tyres, temperatures.’
We now go to Brazil next Sunday for the final race of a season that is fizzling out.
Vettel and Red Bull are on a different planet. Please, please can the rest of them sort themselves out for next year.

(16 January 2020) EPSU’s Executive Committee decided to appeal the decision of the EU General Court of 24 October last.
This agreement when and if adopted by qualified-majority voting in Council as a Directive would give nearly 10 million civil servants and workers in central government the same EU legal protection on information and consultation rights as other workers have.
As things stand today, central government workers are excluded from existing EU Directives setting out minimum standards on fundamental workers’ rights to be informed and consulted on changes that are of direct concern to them such as job cuts or digitalisation.
The Commission has not plugged this gap for the last 10 years, despite the European Parliament’s request to do so in 2009 and the many statements and policies stressing the importance of such rights including the European Pillar of Social Rights.
Essentially, the case centers on the interpretation of the Treaty articles (articles 154-155) that provide for agreements between European employers and trade unions’ organisations to become generally binding through a Council decision.
The Commission has argued before the Court that it holds full discretion to judge the content as well as to decide if it is politically appropriate to bring such social partner agreements to the Council.
This undermines the autonomy of the social partners to freely negotiate and to use the rules of the Treaty to ask the Council for a decision.
At stake is the process according to which the social partners play a special role, as provided for by the European Treaties, in the European integration and in regulating the labour market.
While the General Court found shortcomings in the way the Commission had handled the agreement, it nonetheless ruled in favour of the Commission’s unprecedented position. According to the Court, the Commission does not have to act in transparency based on a set of clear and predictable criteria and processes. There is a breach of confidence in the working of this institution. This cannot be left unchallenged

Illness results when God punished Hispanic Americans for their sin, when feeling of susto (fright) occur, when someone throws a mal ojo (evil eye), and envidia (envy)(De Laune, 2006, p. 394). Hispanic Americans used Spanish or Portuguese and other dialects in communication process. They are verbally expressive and used dramatic body language to express emotions and pain. However, Hispanic Americans view direct confrontation and expression of negative feelings as disrespectful. When communicating with a Hispanic American, one can observe the comfort in close proximity, overly tactile communication such as frequent handshakes and enbrace, and the value Hispanic Americans have for the presence of others. Hispanic Americans value modesty and politeness in speaking and are presently oriented. However, time for Hispanic American is flexible.
The role of the family in the primary care might be used in dealing with Hispanic Americans as they prioritize first the need of the families before the individual needs. Nuclear family is the basic unit but highly regarded extended family. Gender roles are also evident in the Hispanic American culture and man performs the role of decision maker and breadwinner while the woman is the home maker and care taker. Review of Literature Healthcare Concerns and Beliefs Health care concerns and beliefs of many Hispanics have affected the predisposing diseases of their race and access to the use of health services. Hispanic diet, lack of health insurance, transportation, culture, and linguistic are some of the identified concerns of most researchers among Hispanics that needs to be addressed. Hispanic dietary preferences differ from other culture. Existing research suggests that Hispanic diet has greater percentage of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, and lower percentage of total and saturated fat (Loria, Bush, Carroll, Looker, McDowell, Johnson, &.Sempos, 1995, n.p.).Thus, Hispanics are more apt to meet the cholesterol education program. However, majority of the Hispanics suffer from obesity which is one of the most important health problems they are facing today. Aside from dietary preferences, Hispanics also lack sufficient access to health services particularly because of financial, structural, and personal barriers. Lack of health insurance and low income among Hispanics constitute the financial barriers. Structural barriers include proximity and transportation to the health providers and personal barriers include cultural and linguistic factors. In addition, Hispanics are less likely to consult a primary care’s advice primarily because Hispanics believe that having a disease is a punishment from God. For example, a child suddenly has fever after the parents brought the child to the park. Following Hispanic culture, this child was thrown a mal ojo (evil eye) by a stranger. Hispanics are known for being religious and spiritual-driven.

PM Modi Launches World's Largest Storage Scheme for Farmers
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the world's largest storage scheme for farmers, emphasizing modernization through technology. The initiative includes computerizing 18,000 PACS and inaugurating 11 grain storage facilities.
In an event on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched an excellent global initiative, exclusively designed to benefit farmers by establishing the largest storage scheme worldwide.
Emphasizing the far-reaching implications of this journey, he announced the establishment of numerous warehouses and storage facilities across the nation. One of the achievements of this initiative is the successful computerization of 18,000 Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), representing a pivotal step towards modernizing agricultural infrastructure through seamless integration with state-of-the-art technology.
PACS, highlighted by the Prime Minister, assumes a crucial role in direct engagement with rural borrowers, providing loans, managing repayments, and overseeing distribution and marketing functions. He also highlighted the indispensable contribution of the cooperative sector in strengthening the economy and driving rural development, characterizing it as a vital force propelling India's progress.
In his address to the gathering, Prime Minister Modi urged the cooperative sector to play a substantial role in reducing India's dependence on imported agricultural commodities, such as edible oils and fertilizers. As part of the ongoing efforts to fortify the cooperative sector, the Prime Minister inaugurated 11-grain storage facilities in PACS across 11 states, marking a moment in the government's flagship 'World's Largest Grain Storage Plan' within the cooperative sector.
The inaugural ceremony also witnessed the laying of the foundation stone for an additional 500 PACS nationwide, highlighting the construction of storage facilities and other essential agricultural infrastructure.
Prime Minister Modi signifies a transformative integration of PACS storage facilities into the broader food grain supply chain. This collaborative initiative, headed by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC), aims to enhance the efficiency of the agricultural ecosystem.

The Educational Testing Service (ETS), owner of the GRE, revealed the new test will launch on September 22 2023, with the time limit reduced from around four hours to just under two.
A number of other changes were announced, including 46 fewer questions in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, the removal of one analytical writing task, and the removal of an unscored section that ETS used to prepare the test.
ETS also said the amount of time it takes to receive your score after completing the exam will be reduced to between eight and 10 days. Currently it takes 10 to 15 days to receive a score. The price of taking the test will remain the same at $220.
The changes reflect a growing trend across admission examinations to graduate degrees in favor of reducing pressure on test takers and providing them with extra flexibility.
Early this year a new iteration of the GMAT exam was announced. The GMAT Focus Edition introduced a number of similar changes, including a reduction in test time, removal of an essay question, and shortened quantitative and verbal sections.
There were also adjustments to candidate scoring and a more flexible order for completing the exam. Both exams will launch in the second half of 2023.

SCIENTIFIC NAME "OLEA EUROPEA"
Wild olive tree in the region of Koroni
The wild olive tree first appeared in the Mediterranean basin. The first written record about the cultivation of the olive tree come from Elva (Northern Syria) where they discovered signs which date back to the 3rd millennium B.C. These signs talk about a very big production of olive oil in the area.
There’s similar information, dating back to the 2nd millennium, about the land of Palaistine. In his study “Origin des plantes cultivees”, De Candole mentions that the cultivation of the olive tree has been well known since 4000 B.C. and that the tree originates from the coastal areas of Asia Minor. He bases his theory on the fact that there are a lot of wild olive trees there as well as on the works of ancient writers and findings from excavations.
Dome tomb in Mycaenae (1680-1060 B.C.)
The olive tree, originated from northern Syria, spread to the Hellenic islands as well as the mainland with the help of the Fokieis and from there it was passed on to Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. Finally, it reached Spain through the Hellenic Romans and the Simitans (Arabs).
The palace of king NESTOR
Huge jar (pithos) with a lid whose body is embossed with horizontal rings, exactly like today's traditional jars (pithos) of Koroni. It was found shattered into pieces and it is reckoned that it contained oil.
Recent research in the Cyclades brought to light fossilized olive leaves which, according to modern dating procedures, appear to be 60000 years old.
In Hellas, the olive tree has been cultivated from the ancient times, as it is shown from the findings in the excavations. In Mycenae, from example, they found a fragment from a silver vessel which depicted an olive tree, whereas in the same region Sleeman and Tountas found trunks of olive trees. This is also supported by the fact that the word ‘olive’ is Hellenic and the Hellenic name is kept in many other languages.
Small lot at infertile ground
Frescos with olives as their main theme were found in Thira and Knossos along with different gadgets which resembled oil pressers (the modern equipment which is used to get the oil out of the olives). According to the French researcher Paul Faure, the inhabitants of Neolithic Crete were the first ones to cultivate the olive tree. Moreover, according to V. Kribas, the cultivation of the olive tree in Crete dates back to 1500 and 2000 B.C. During the Minoan times it was considered to be a holy tree and its branch appeared as a symbol in the hieroglyphic writing of Crete.
Abandoned traditional olive press, 1950
Today, the olive tree is cultivated on five continents with Hellas possessing the 3rd place in the production of olive oil and the 1st in the production of edible olives worldwide. As far as Messinia is concerned, it is an endless olive grove which produces the world famous olive oil of Kalamata. It is the land of olive oil and oil trees.
The cultivated breeds are; Koroneiki, mayroelia, matsolia and the edible olive of Kalamata (chondroelia).
The Koroneiki breed takes its name from Koroni, a city few kilometers southwest of Kalamata.
Grown tree with big branche
Due to its geographical location and the geophysical conditions which prevail (3000 hours of sunshine per year) each farmer has the opportunity to take very good care of his trees. It seems that time has stopped there during the collection of the olives which takes place using all the traditional methods which allow for the extraction of a product which is high nutritional value.
The olive consists of 70% water. It contains elevropaine, which has medicinal properties but which almost disappears in the ripe olive. It also contains sugars like fructose, lactose and sucrose. Moreover, it contains 1,5-3% proteins which, during the extraction of the oil, form an oily substance which makes the oil not be clear at first. It has a concentration of oily substances of about 19-33%, and lots of vitamins (C, A, B1, B2 and D).
The most important fatty acids of the olive oil are the unsaturated fats (very healthy for humans) with the monounsaturated helaic reaching a proportion of 83% which distinguishes olive oil from all the other oils which contain mainly polyunsaturated fats. Different acids found in olive oil are in the same concentration as in breast milk which makes it extremely easy to absorb from the human organism.
In addition, the olive oil is very rich in natural antioxidants like chlorophylls. Vitamin E also has a very significant antioxidant effect because it protects vitamin A in order to act for a longer time. Vitamin A is invaluable for good growth, good eyesight, healthy skin etc.
The antioxidants present in olive oil also protect human cells against the oxidation stress, active oxygen and free roots which are responsible for alterations of our DNA. These alterations are contributory factors for many serious diseases.
Research has shown that the inclusion of olive oil in our everyday diet protects us against cancer and contributes to the good health of our eyes.
According to recent research the consumption of olive oil even from babyhood helps the development of the brain, the central nervous system as well as of the skeleton. Numerous researches, including the one published by the ‘American Association for the Heart’, have shown that people who follow a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, like in the traditional Greek diet, run a much lower risk of developing heart diseases than people who consume more saturated fats which are contained in butter or margarine.
Researchers have also proved that people who consume olive oil run a much lower risk of developing other diseases too. Research conducted in Harvard University showed a correlation between the consumption of olive oil and a decrease in the appearance of breast cancer and osteoporosis.
Another research, conducted in 1999 by the Medical University of Athens, showed that the Mediterranean diet can help protect people against rheumatoid arthritis. People who regularly consumed olive oil as well as cooked vegetables decreased the risk of developing the disease by 39%.

Beyonce and Jay Z were recently in San Francisco on their On The Run tour, but you knew that because you went. We, apparently, were the only ones in the entire city who DIDN’T go and oh, we felt the sting. While everyone was jammin’ to “Drunk in Love” we were stuck in the left over concert traffic only to be proceeded by an equally monotonous night. And to top off a serious case of Tuesday night FOMO, if the rumors are true, the power couple is headed for the dreaded “D” word and we just. can’t. handle. it.
So in honor of Queen Bey and Jay, we rounded up our favorite surfboard inspirations, or should we say surfbort inspirations? We’ve been seeing these dudes everywhere, from decor to editorials and we can only believe that it was partly Beyonce’s doing. After all, she runs the world, right? On her surfbort.
We’re in love with the idea of surfboards as decor, especially when they’re not your typical “surf’s up, bro” board. A gorgeous blond wood with a vintage-inspired shape is so cool leaning against a blank wall and the Gray Malin photography infused board is literally a work of art. Obsessed.
Speaking of art, fashion and interior designers have definitely received the surf delivered memo. We can’t decide if we’d rather break waves on Kelly Wearstler’s beautifully crafted wooden boards or Alexander Wang’s marble beauties. Probably Kelly’s, right? Marble sinks- in the literal sense of the word only!
And just in case you’re planning to ride this trend as long as we are, we present a surfbort moodbort. <– We had to!
Have you caught the surfboard wave too? Or are you ready for this trend to crash and break? Us? Oh, we’re prepared to ride this baby till the final days of summer are gone! —Bianca

A report released Thursday by KPMG found that women-owned or -managed alternative investment funds find capital raising more challenging than their male counterparts, even though they continually outperform the industry.
Moreover, 72% of investors in the study said the biggest barrier to investing in funds owned or managed by women was the lack of supply of such funds.
“This year’s report demonstrates that many industry professionals believe women-led funds lack investor access and visibility despite better performance than the industry,” said KPMG Audit partner Kelly Easterling, a co-author of the report, in a statement.
“But women are not asking for special treatment; they want to be held to the same standards as their peers, whether male or female.”
KPMG conducted an online poll in March and April with 328 female respondents, including fund managers and other professionals, investors and service providers in the alternative investment sector.
The report also includes a new index created by Hedge Fund Research. The HFRI Women Index tracks women-owned and -managed funds and firms and how they perform against the overall hedge fund industry.
From January 2007 through June 2015, the annualized returns of this index were 5.6%, compared with 3.8% for the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index and minus 0.4% for the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index.
In addition, the report said diverse private equity funds — firms where 50% or more of owners or investment professionals were ethnic minorities or women — frequently exceeded the returns of the broader private equity market.
The survey examined the effect that mandates might have on women-owned and -managed funds.
It found that one-third of investor respondents had an emerging manager program or fund and 7% of investors had mandates specifically for women-owned or managed funds.
