In an interview, Twitter’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Ned Segal stated that crypto investing is ‘not a good idea right now’ because of extreme market volatility and industry accounting rules. Segal pointed out that Twitter would need to alter its investment policies in order to invest in crypto companies or related avenues. Currently, Segal’s current investment policies allow the company to only hold assets that are more stable, such as securities, on its balance sheet.
Segal, according to a Wall Street Journal report , points to a common concern over crypto’s volatility among finance heads at Tweet. He claims price swings are one of the main reasons that the company doesn’t use crypto to fund their corporate investments.
Numerous finance departments from multiple companies based in the US have raised the question of whether there should be specific accounting regulations or systems for cryptocurrency assets. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), a private standard-setting organization that creates and issues financial accounting standards within the US, has been approached by industry giants to establish the ground rules for how crypto assets should be treated.
Twitter’s CFO appears reluctant to invest in cryptocurrency, but Twitter CEO and cofounder Jack Dorsey enthusiastically embraces the world of digital assets. Dorsey’s first tweet, which was the first ever to be posted on Twitter, was converted into an FFT in March. These were sold through Valuables, a marketplace that was worth $2.9 million (roughly Rs. 21.5 crore) to Bridge Oracle CEO Sina Estavi. Dorsey is a self-proclaimed “Bitcoin maximalist” and has also experimented with NFTs.
Although Twitter is not investing directly in crypto, it announced that it had set up a Blockchain team headed by Tess Rinearson, a seasoned blockchain engineer to ‘explore how to incorporate decentralized technology into our products or infrastructure’. The team’s first priority will be to create decentralised apps (dApps), which allow creators to manage virtual currencies and virtual goods. It will also provide ways for fans to support the community. Rinearson suggested that her team would then look into crypto tech to enhance identity, community and ownership on Twitter.
Twitter introduced a way to tip creators using Bitcoin via Lightning network. They also suggested that they are experimenting with ways to verify non-financial transfers to be used as profile photos.

This thesis deals largely with the history of teacher retirement in California. It covers the period from the class of the Civil War to June 30, 1957. Some background data were developed in the early American history of teacher retirement in order to understand better the early conditions in California.
The ultimate objective of the study is to show that California laws as they exist today are the results of continuous action for improvement of teachers’ retirement. This has been done by reviewing several areas of retirement history. These are mainly the area of mutual aid societies, early retirement legislation in the United States, early California history of teacher retirement, the progress of California teacher retirement legislations from 1895 through the legislative section of 1957, and the attitudes and actions of governors, legislators, professional organizations, and individuals as they influenced the changes in retirement practices.

Sign Up for Our Monthly Mexico Newsletter
An easy drive from Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita, Sayulita is much smaller and more traditional than the two tourist hot spots in Mexico. Stray, but friendly, dogs trot to and fro; locals and visitors sport identical tans; and the promise of shade serves as an excuse to order another round of cheap, slushy margaritas.
Though idyllic ocean conditions are what largely put Sayulita on the map as well as into the bucket lists of surfers, the modest beach town has another lure: lots and lots of shopping. The laid-back vibe of Sayulita trickles into the town’s approximately 45 stores — almost all located within a four-block radius from each other — creating a pleasant, culturally-rich shopping experience. The following boutiques are some of our favorites.
Evoke the SpiritThis creative/retail space shines with natural light and beachy neutral tones, and its handcrafted home goods, jewelry and clothing only elevate the ethereal ambiance. One highlight is the unique collection of skulls available for purchase, each meticulously festooned with paint and yarn. The Thousand Prayers necklaces are another — like the skulls, they are handcrafted by the Huichol tribespeople in Nayarit. Each bead is infused with a prayer, hence the necklaces’ name.
Evoke the Spirit also sells macrame wall hangings, colorful Mexican blankets, beaded clutches, wool rugs, tapestries, textiles and wall sconces.
Gypsy GaleriaA mother/daughter pair operates the sunshine-yellow Gypsy Galeria, a spacious souvenir store that will whet any shopper’s interest. Knickknacks range from crosses and other traditional “milagros” (religious folk charms) to polka-dot ceramic bowls, glitzy skull ornaments and embellished pillowcases.
Prices at Gypsy Galeria are considerably less than many of Sayulita’s other boutiques, so if you are in search of small, affordable trinkets, be sure to rummage through Gypsy Galeria’s bazaar-like set-up.
Pacha MamaFree spirits are unsurprisingly drawn to the renowned gypsy den that is Pacha Mama. Owned by the Mignot sisters who hail from France, the funky boutique sells boho-chic items such as vests and handbags with fringe; unique necklaces with Tahitian black pearls strung on leather cords; and hand-embroidered, caftan-inspired Mexican wedding dresses. Polychromatic art adorning the shop reminds visitors to “Live What You Love” as they peruse the aforementioned pretty little things.

Ula is a shop decorated in poms and color, featuring scarves, handbags, bikinis and more. // © 2015 GypsetGirl.com
Revolucion del SuenoThis Sayulita shop is bursting with bold colors mixed with stark black and white, and modern graphics fused with Mexican culture. For one, there’s a cheeky, oversize fluorescent mustache hanging above a door.
On certain items such as T-shirts and magnets, visitors may even catch sight of a brawny “luchador” (a competitor in the lucha libre form of professional Mexican wrestling) wearing a wrestling mask — as well as a bright pink tutu. Shoppers can also stock up on hand-woven neon beach totes and throw pillows screen-printed with painter Frida Kahlo or members of the 1910 Mexican Revolution.
Sayulita Sol JewelrySayulita Sol specializes in using natural gemstones, vermeil, gold fill and sterling silver in its line of jewelry. All of the bracelets, earrings and necklaces are handmade, either by owner and designer Kimberley Keehn or her small team of designers. Customers can also commission jewelry, a lovely option for weddings, holiday gifts and more.
UlaPlayful poms in the window of Ula beckon curious passersby to browse the store’s wide selection of patterned handbags, scarves and wall hangings. There are also neon bikinis for sale — perfect to don while catching rays and waves nearby. Like most of the shops in Sayulita, a purchase made at Ula greatly supports the local community of makers.

The effects of El Niño have devastated parts of Africa, with severe drought causing widespread food shortages and destroying livelihoods.
With crops failing, farmers are feeling the full impact of the climate phenomenon. Five farmers from SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s Region) in Ethiopia reveal how El Niño is affecting their farmland, and their families.
“My name is Worke Amenu. I live in Locka Abaya village in the Sidama district, SNNPR, Ethiopia. I am married with four children. My children are facing difficulties going to school due to the drought.
“As you can see teff seed [a hardy and nutritious grain] was sewn on my land, but it dried out due to lack of rainfall during the months following its growth period. We have faced difficulty harvesting any of our failed crops and now we are struggling to find food to eat as we are dependent on our farm.
“We are praying we find a way out of this drought before it’s too late.”
“My name is Afra Argeta. I live in Locka Abaya village in the Sidama district of SNNPR. I have five children – three daughters and two sons. At the moment, only one is going to school.
“My community has been hit hardest by the drought. I collected about two quintals (200 kilograms) of corn from my farmland. We have used one quintal as our livelihood to earn money and we are eating the remaining quintal to stay alive.
“We are praying for an intervention before things become worse. The drought has hit hard the district since the seed sowing stage. We had no rain at all in the past few months. My family and I are waiting for help so we can survive this drought.”
My parents only taught me farming and I grew up to be a farmer. It’s all I know.
“My name is Eyasu Tunsisa. I live in the Locka Abaya district. I am married and my wife is six months pregnant with our first child.
“My only income is through farming. My parents taught me how to farm and I knew I would grow up to be farmer. My parents only taught me farming and I grew up to be a farmer. It’s all I know.
“This year is strange – it’s been a shock to everyone in the community. We’ve had almost no rain since our seeds were sown. We did not experience any sunlight during those months, which has strongly hindered the growth of crops. My family and I do not have anything to eat at home. I am being forced to buy food for high prices from remote markets to stay alive. I was expecting to get a bit of harvest from the field, but look at the sky. It is about to rain heavily. It will shatter and drop the crops and we will not have anything to harvest.
“We are helplessly sitting and worrying about what will happen next. When I am done with the money I have, I don’t know what will happen to my family. The government is supporting those in strife but soon that will be us. We need an intervention soon if lives are to be saved.”
“My name is Legesse Daarsa. I live in Setamo village, in the Dara district. There are eight people in my family – I have six children. Two of them were in school. Now, none are able to go due to the drought – they have to stay at home as we have nothing to eat. My children are seriously affected by the drought. They are getting ill.
“The rain didn’t appear at the right time. Now our crops are being washed away by torrential rain that we did not have previously. We are victims of nature. The government, along with charities such as Plan International, are helping our community by distributing Plumpy-nut, oil and corn flour. However, we need a coordinated effort to help us through this hard time.”
“My name is Tesfaye Wonje. I live in Setamo village, in the Dara district. I have 10 children, but it is becoming impossible for them to attend school. They have little to eat and my heart is in agony. I have 0.125 hectare of land which I used to farm. I would farm corn, teff, sugarcane and banana, but all the crops on my farmland failed to produce any harvest. I am buying food items from the market to sustain the lives of my family. The government is helping those hit hard by the drought, but we need more organised support to reach all the affected people.”
Plan International, together with the Ethiopian government and other humanitarian organisations is currently distributing food, aid and water to families affected, but more needs to be done to stop the loss of life. You can help – donate to our work today.

The transfer ban on Bloemfontein Celtic will kick into effect in the next registration period after their failure to settle the R3 million that they owe their former goalkeeper Patrick Tignyemb.
FIFA have already issued a two-window transfer ban on Celtic after Tignyemb won his unpaid dues case which he took to the world governing body following his ugly departure from the club in 2018.
The Cameroon goalkeeper had been with Celtic for 11 years when circumstances forced him to leave.
Celtic have in recent times claimed they have an agreement to make payment in four instalments, two of which they have already made.
"A long time ago Celtic came up with a proposal for payment in instalments and we rejected it outright because if we agreed to that and they default we cannot go back to FIFA. So, they have not made any payment and if they had FIFA expects them to send proof of payment. I can tell you that they haven’t paid a dime and the interest keeps piling up every day," Tignyemb’s legal representative Johnny Precious Ogbah tells KickOff.com.
Ogbah is the head of Sports Law (Africa) at Activity Chambers based in Nigeria.
"If they claim they have been making payments they better look for these accounts because it is definitely not Patrick’s account. We sent them Patrick’s account in Cameroon because he is no longer in South Africa. Previously, we sent them the South African account when he was still in South Africa and then as soon as he left, we wrote to them warning them not to use the South African account anymore and gave them an account in Cameroon. They cannot make that silly mistake of using the South African account because we advised them in advance. As of two to three weeks they wrote saying they are working on it and if they have made payment then they should have proof of payment.
"They (Celtic) are lying, and they know it because they risk even putting the FA (SAFA) in trouble because if the federation (SAFA) doesn’t implement this transfer ban then they risk being banned. If they don’t pay every penny then they will not be able to make any transfer signings. The dates by which they were meant to have paid this money have passed hence the transfer ban becoming effective in the next window. Bottom line is that we don’t have any payment agreement with them," details Ogbah.
The directive from FIFA on the transfer ban is already with SAFA.

PORT ANGELES — Pam Larsen will explain how interplanting crops, proper nutrition and watering can provide plants with their own defense against pests and lure beneficials at noon Thursday.
The free one-hour lecture, “Companion Planting,” will be in the county commissioners meeting room (Room 160) at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
This presentation is part of the “Green Thumb Garden Tips” brown bag series sponsored by the WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners. Audience members are encouraged to bring brown bag lunches.
Larsen will describe how some plants repel or at least confuse pests while others attract pollinating insects or attack the bad bugs.
Some plants enhance the growing conditions of their companion by supplying additional nutrients to the soil or providing them with shade.
Larsen’s presentation will focus on vegetable gardening, but she also will discuss interplanting flowering ornamentals to attract pollinators.
A long-time organic gardener, Larsen has taught organic gardening classes for The Community Gardens of Sequim and for the general public for 10 years.
The Master Gardener Brown Bag series continues on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.
For more information, call 360-417-2279.

SARNIA – The bodies of three young international students killed in a violent collision near Petrolia are now being returned to their grieving families in the Punjab state in north India.
Kulwinder Kang, a Sikh temple spokesperson in Windsor, said the remains of Tanveer Singh, Gurvinder Singh and Harpreet Kour were being sent home with the help of St. Clair College, where the three teens were studying business. One of the bodies, Kang said, was already on the way home.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“They are grieving. All (of them were) so young,” Kang said. “We just talked to (the families). One guy’s parents, he didn’t even believe it. He was still in shock over what happened.”
According to The Tribune, a major English language newspaper in India, Tanveer Singh’s father took out a significant loan – about $28,000 – to send his son to study in Canada on a student visa. Tanveer Singh had found a job in Canada and talked to his parents over video “daily,” according to a Tribune interview with his father.
The same newspaper also reported that Gurvinder Singh and Harpreet Kour were married.
Kang said he and other regular attendees of Windsor’s Gurdwara Khalsa Prakash temple gathered Sunday to pray for the three 19-year-old victims.
A fourth St. Clair business student, also in the car at the time of the crash, escaped serious injury.
John Fairley, a spokesperson for the college, called the deaths “a big hit to the St. Clair family.”
“We all promised to the other students (to help),” Kang said. “We’re doing a seminar. We’re doing how much we can, right? Every Sunday, to explain to the other students this is a new country and they’re so young.”
The overnight collision happened just after midnight Oct. 4 on Oil Heritage Road, just south of Oil Springs. The vehicle involved in the crash was found crumpled beside the road, which veers sharply east before continuing south toward Chatham-Kent.
The three students were pronounced dead at the scene. The Lambton OPP later said the three victims were not wearing seatbelts. The rural police also suggested a red vehicle and moving van may have been in the area around the time of the collision, roughly 1:30 a.m.
Oil Heritage Road has been the scene of two other fatal collisions this year. In May a 42-year-old Michigan man missed a sharp turn near Douglas Line and later in August, a 21-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed by a transport truck.

Bank of New York Co. and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp. are co-arranging a $1 billion leveraged financing for Total Renal Care Holdings Inc. that features a bond and loan hybrid structure.
Bank of New York is also acting as administrative agent, and Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette is syndication agent for the loan to Torrance, Calif.-based Total Renal Care.
The company sells integrated dialysis services to patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, and it operates laboratory and pharmacy facilities in the United States and United Kingdom.
The credit facility, split between an $800 million revolving facility and a $200 million term loan, replaces a $400 million revolver both banks arranged for Total Renal Care last year, according to Eric Swanson, managing director and a co-head of the loan syndicate group at Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette.
DLJ is a shareholder of Total Renal Care through DLJ Merchant Banking Partners Inc., a unit, and managed the California company's initial public offering in 1995.
Total Renal Care has been aggressively expanding, signing four definitive merger agreements and nine agreements in principle since July 1, according to company statements.
Similar to previous DLJ hybrid deals for Pioneer Americas and Playtex Inc., the $200 million term loan facility has no financial performance covenants and will be priced only after the deal is presented to investors.
"We're going to the market with a range of spreads over" the London interbank offered rate, Mr. Swanson said, "and we'll judge demand and price it kind of like a bond."
Initial pricing on the term loan will probably fall between 150 and 170 basis points over Libor, while pricing on the revolver will be tied to the borrower's leverage ratio and start at 125 basis points over Libor, said Mr. Swanson.
"Buyers of this paper are getting comfortable that, the way we structured it - despite the fact that it's very flexible from a covenant perspective - it still has all the protections that they need," said Mr. Swanson.
The deal was launched last Thursday, and commitments are due Sept. 26.
Separately, Merrill Lynch & Co. and J.P. Morgan & Co. are expected to bring a new financing for BellSouth Corp. and Safra Group to market in early October, according to market sources.
The deal is not completed but is expected to include a leveraged loan of about $1.25 billion and a high-yield bond issue.
Atlanta-based BellSouth is a communications services company operating in 20 countries. The financing will fund the development of wireless phone systems in Brazil.


The leader of the state Republican Party said she will offer up a new nomination to fill a spot on the Maryland State Board of Elections but criticized Gov. Wes Moore (D) for “sneaky, hyper-partisan attacks.” The response comes after Moore informed Republican Chair Nicole Beus Harris that he was rejecting the party’s nominee for the state board because of concerns about William Newton’s published criticisms of the state elections process and an embezzlement conviction. Harris, in a statement issued late Wednesday defended Newton as a “qualified nominee” while not addressing issues concerning the embezzlement charge.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar, one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust as well as calcite, gypsum or various iron compounds. Like sand, sandstone has a granular texture and may be found in almost any colour, but the most common colours are tan, brown, yellow, red, grey, pink, and white. Since sandstone beds often form highly visible cliffs and other topographic features, certain colours of sandstone have been strongly identified with certain regions.
Sandstone is available in tiles, slabs and blocks, in finishes ranging from natural and calibrated, to honed, polished and flamed. Sandstone is a very versatile material, applicable for most types applications, including wall and flooring.
Sandstone flooring is porous and prone to scratching, staining and fracturing. Sandstone also needs to be allowed to breath instead of being covered by synthetic sealers or urethane. Tile Cleaners® experienced technicians offer the best solutions to protect your sandstone by using highly penetrating impregnating sealers.
The primary cause for polished stone floors becoming dull is foot traffic. Prolonged foot traffic grinds and packs in dust, sand, and grit. Although the scratching that occurs is very fine, it eventually covers the majority of the surface and over time dulls the finish to the point where it loses its reflective properties. To make your stone surfaces smooth and reflective, we employ the use of high speed polishers.
All natural stone is porous to different degrees. To protect your sandstone an impregnating sealer should be applied which is similar to a topical sealer but doesn't create a film on top of the stone, instead it sits within the stones pores. The idea of using sealers on stone surface is to prevent water from penetrating the porous structure of sandstone, which eventually leads to stains, cracks, weathering, and deterioration. Sealing your tiles and/or grout helps prevent & reduce staining by providing a barrier against stain carrying substances.
Professional regular maintenance will be required to maintain the honed or polished appearance of sandstone. Sandstone looks best with a honed or low/medium sheen appearance however many people also insist on a high shine finish. Some low calcite sandstone can be extremely difficult to polish and therefore vitrification would be required, vitrification however can give the stone an unnatural plastic appearance when repeated too often.
- Easy to clean
- less expensive than marble and granite
- Feels cold and hard under-foot
- It requires sealing
- It reacts to acid
We provide specialised sealing, cleaning and restoration solutions for all Sandstone surfaces

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A vintage rocket engine built to blast the first U.S. lunar mission into Earth’s orbit more than 40 years ago is again rumbling across the Southern landscape.
The engine, No. F-6049 to NASA engineers, was supposed to help propel Apollo 11 into orbit in 1969, when NASA sent Neil Armstrong and two other astronauts to the moon for the first time. The flight went off without a hitch, but no thanks to the engine – it was grounded because of a glitch during a test in Mississippi and later sent to the Smithsonian Institution, where it sat for years.
Now, young engineers who weren’t even born when Armstrong took his one small step are using the bell-shaped motor in tests to determine if technology from Apollo’s reliable Saturn V design can be improved for the next generation of U.S. missions back to the moon and beyond by the 2020s.
They’re learning to work with technical systems and propellants not used since before the start of the space shuttle program, which first launched in 1981.
Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center on Thursday completed a series of 11 test-firings of the F-6049’s gas generator, a jet-like rocket that produces 30,000 pounds of thrust and was used as a starter for the engine. They are trying to see whether a second-generation version of the Apollo engine could produce even more thrust and be operated with a throttle for deep-space exploration.
There are no plans to send the old engine into space, but it could become a template for a new generation of motors incorporating parts of its design.
In NASA-speak, the old 18-foot-tall motor is called an F-1 engine. During moon missions, five of them were arranged at the base of the 363-foot-tall Saturn V system and fired together to power the rocket off the ground toward Earth orbit.


I'm in the process of setting up my consoles with my AV Amp as they have been boxed since we moved house. I'm connecting a PS2 and a Gamecube to a Denon Surround Amp. I'm also gonna connect my TV upto my Amp. To save on cables, I have thought of just connecting the TV up to the Amp and having surround for the consoles that way, as I'm only getting Pro Logic anyway. Does this sound ok, or should I use separate channels for the consoles?


Daily Mail has been crowned National Newspaper of the Year at the 2020 ACE Newspaper and Magazine Awards.
Considered the highest accolade of the newspaper and magazine publishing industry, the annual ceremony was held virtually on Thursday 16th July. Now in its 69th year, the awards were created to celebrate and recognise the very best talent, innovation and teamwork across the news publishing industry.
Daily Mail newspaper triumphed over The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and The Guardian to be named National Newspaper of the Year, an award bestowed to the national newspaper brand that has driven the genre forwards. Now Britain’s biggest-selling daily newspaper, Daily Mail was also highly commended in the Campaign of the Year category for the Great British Spring Clean initiative, the country’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.
Praising Daily Mail’s success, the judges commented: “Well done to all at Daily Mail, which remains the powerhouse of Middle England. Judges were impressed by the significant growth in market share to 25.6%, outstripping market sales performance by 3%.
“This in no small part due to a string of exclusive stories, through to emotive litter clearing campaigns with the Great British Spring Clean and planting of 70,000 trees. Engaging with their readers more deeply through MyMail grew this to over 1million members and their focus on independent retailers was further sealed through the work with the NFRN.”
Daily Mail Editor, Geordie Greig said: “I am delighted and immensely proud of the talented people across our agenda-setting newspaper who have made this success possible. This great accolade truly reflects our unwavering commitment towards excellent journalism that our readers have come to expect, even in these challenging times.”
Founded in 1951 the Association of Circulation Executives (ACE) is a trade association bringing together members from the field of newspaper and magazine publishing, wholesaling, distribution, print, marketing services and retailing.

Douglas County weekly community newspaper working through transition
Post-Gazette says it will extend subscriptions to thank readers for their patience
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The publisher of a community newspaper is assuring its subscribers that the family-operated weekly isn’t going anywhere.
The Douglas County Post-Gazette, which had been publishing on Wednesdays, hasn’t produced an edition since March 8 but assured its readers that the paper isn’t going under.
It’s been a difficult month, a spokesperson for the paper told 6 News on Thursday, as the paper has been experiencing some staffing issues following “some transition and challenges.”
Exacerbating the situation, the paper has also had problems with its phone system, but said Thursday evening that the issue had been resolved earlier than expected.
To thank readers for their patience, the Post-Gazette plans to extend current subscriptions by six months, according to a statement from the publisher.
Read the statement from the publisher
The Douglas County Post-Gazette is still operating while the publication is going through some transition and challenges.
The publishers would like to thank those who have remained patient and understanding, and would like to reassure current subscribers and customers that they are doing everything they can to get the publication on track while getting office matters like the phone system, etc. situated to a new space and trying to find reliable employees to fill much needed positions. Because of the frustrations, they would also like to say that they will be extending subscriptions for six months for each subscriber as the office space transition and the issue of filling needed roles has taken much longer than they hoped.
The family operated newspaper needs the public’s support to operate, and they would appreciate anyone having an interest in working as a reporter, designer, office manager or in sales to reach out to them as they continue to operate four newspapers with very minimal staffing.

Since the 1980′s we have been hearing of the growing importance and strength of the “Latino Vote” in the United States. Now, in 2013 and beyond, that belief has proven true over and over in local, state, and most importantly the last two Presidential elections.
It is perceived that the issues that prompt Latinos to vote are labor/jobs, immigration, and education (access/funding) to name just a few of the many issues that are important to our community. In a report, The Latino Vote in 2008: Trends and Characteristics by Antonio Gonzalez and Steven Ochoa and issued by the William C. Velasquez Institute, Latino Voters were polled on what issues were important to them in the 2008 elections.
Out of a list of eleven issues the Economy was the most important. Nowhere on that list did Latino Voters address a connection between voting preferences and the environment.

There is an important additional issue arising from the likely job losses resulting from the current round of mergers (news and 'Bitter pill', news focus, 21 January). It seems most will be among community or mental health trusts. Are we consequently going to see a disproportionate number of redundancies among female chief executives and senior managers?
The NHS is not so well provided with women in senior managerial positions that it can sustain the loss of many female chief executives. Unison is concerned that the gender profile among senior managers in the NHS is going to become worse than it already is after these mergers.
The NHS needs more, not fewer, women in senior positions. Let's also hope the service is not discarding skills and expertise it can ill afford to lose.
While recognising that we are talking about different positions, it will be interesting to see whether the appointment of primary care group chief executives does anything to redress the gender balance among senior staff. Unison will be closely watching the process.

text: I feel like artistically, our subscription service should also have a concept, a time frame where there is a theme revolving around what we are releasing each month. This first theme is called “Simple Math/Sinful Math.” Next year marks the ten year anniversary of our third album, Simple Math. While writing that album we always had plans to go back and release a much more raw and exposed version of this album with new songs and no strings. we are already planning a really cool expansive LP including the songs from Sinful Math, acoustic demos, and full band demos to be released next year. I’ve thought about this a lot for many years and my biggest concern was making sure that what we ended up releasing and providing is actually worth your money. I hope this is a way where we can lift the curtain on this album and really pull it apart while also releasing extra goodies and all sorts of content from us. Thank you, as always, for supporting our band and if this is something that you aren’t interested in or can’t afford at the moment I can assure you that we will continue putting all of our best interests and passion into creating the best music that we possibly can. We really love you all.

Mrs. Le Gallienne talked to me with much freedom about her husband. She said she had found she could do nothing more for him, and, as they differed as to the desirability of life in New York, she had left him, and they corresponded and so on. She described how charming he was when he was charming, and how diverting it was to live with such a wayward artistic temperament. There was one thing she could say: he had never bored her. However, she had had enough of artistic temperament. Mrs. Le Gallienne is herself a very charming person. I find myself rather attracted to her and could wish that she might become interested in a less temperamental artist.

AURORA – Bria Bennis put so much distance between her and the rest of the sectional field Oct. 29 that it almost looked like she was running alone.
But the York senior hardly felt alone.
“With all the York fans here, it’s super supportive. They’re all over the course,” Bennis said. “That gave me the motivation I needed.”
Those fans are about to head south to Peoria to join the Dukes for what could be a fantastic finish.
Bennis won the Class 3A Waubonsie Valley Sectional race going away by almost 23 seconds. Defending state champion and No. 1-ranked York put three girls in the top 10 to easily win the team title, 37-84 over runner-up Naperville North.
Bennis, who won West Suburban Silver and regional races the previous two Saturdays, made it a postseason triple in a field full of conference rivals.
She finished in a course record 16 minutes, 59.2 seconds, well ahead of Hinsdale Central runner-up Catie McCabe (17:22.0).
“The past few faces I’ve been running from the front,” Bennis said. “I wanted to run my own race, don’t let anybody dictate what I do and just keep pushing forward.”
York teammate Michaela Quinn was third in 17:24.5 and Katherine Klimek was fifth in 17:29.6.
Bennis already is looking forward to this weekend at Detweiler Park, where the Dukes’ closest competitor figures to be Prospect. Prospect edged York by one point at the Richard Spring Invitational at Detweiler in September. York easily beat Prospect the following week at Palatine’s Meet of Champions.
“We’re super excited for state, biggest race of the year,” Bennis said. “Prospect is an amazing team and they’re going to be right up there with us.”
Naperville North, Naperville Central (117), Lyons (124), Downers Grove North (126), Hinsdale Central (172) and Benet (218) also advanced its girls teams, Benet just beating out Batavia (223) for the last spot from a sectional with 11 of the top 32 teams according to RunnerSpace.com.
McCabe, who was fifth at regionals, beat her regional time by greater than 40 seconds. And she had no shortage of motivations.
The Red Devils’ senior, 14th at state last year, had motivational messages such as “Take Risks” and “Just Race” written in black all over her arms.
“Some girls on our team started doing it last year, write little mantras on our arm. I just think it’s fun,” McCabe said. “We did a lot to prepare our mindset and our bodies. We had a great race today.”
In the boys race, with nine teams ranked in the top 30 in the state, fourth-ranked Downers Grove North put five runners in the top 23 to beat out No. 1-ranked and defending state runner-up Hinsdale Central 75-78.
Topher Ferris (eighth, 15:01.5) and Caden Weber (12th, 15:05.2) paced the Trojans, who had taken third at both the conference and regional meets.
“I thought our dudes executed pretty well and ran really well together,” Downers Grove North coach John Sipple said. “The synergy that they have developed all season is coming together. We knew it would be tight, beat Hinsdale by three. It’s fun that the Silver teams are working together.”
Also advancing was Oak Park-River Forest (99), Naperville Central (128), Lyons (134), Neuqua Valley (135) and Downers Grove South (192).
The individual race was a reversal of conference, where Hinsdale Central’s Dan Watcke edged OPRF’s Liam Newhart by less than two seconds.
This time, Newhart beat out Watcke 14:44.0 to 14:48.5. Watcke made it close despite an early mishap.
Going down the hill for the first time, Watcke got tripped up and fell and was sporting a nasty cut on his knee afterward.
“I just wiped out,” Watcke said. “But in cross you have to get back up as fast as you can and that’s what I did. You have to keep your composure, especially in regionals and sectionals. You can’t make it all up in a couple seconds. You have to slowly chip away.”
Nicholas Strayer of Lyons was third in 14:49.6.
“It’s definitely a really competitive meet. This could be a state meet some years,” Strayer said. “It makes it really fun. You have to bring your best each week. I think we’re poised to really surprise some people at state.”

A man claiming to be a friend in need of bail scammed a 66-year-old Brooklyn woman out of nearly $10,000 in cash last October, according to the NYPD.
The victim told police she received a phone call the afternoon of Oct. 21 from a man posing as a friend. The man said that he had been arrested and asked the woman for $9,500 in cash for bail money.

Borough Park, Brooklyn, NY – In what is being investigated as a possible hate crime, a youth grabbed the hat of a Jewish pedestrian off his head in broad daylight and ran away with it, heading southbound on New Utrecht Avenue. After being chased for several blocks by Boro Park Shomrim, the perpetrator dropped the hat and escaped, while his friend was apprehended and detained by Shomrim until the police arrived.
The incident unfolded shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, November 23 on Thirteenth Avenue. As the Jewish man was walking northbound between 55th and 56th Street, the young men approached from behind and one of them grabbed the hat. The group then fled and Boro Park Shomrim gave chase, catching up with one of them at New Utrecht Avenue and 59th Street where they recovered the hat.
NYPD questioned the detained person, who had ID on him, but released him when it was determined that he was not the person who grabbed the hat.
The incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime, and the NYPD is searching for the other people involved.

Food prices are high, the Fed keeps raising benchmark interest rates, and inflation, although lower, remains above the Fed’s 2% target. Many indicators are pointing toward a recession on the horizon. As a result, industries have been in cost-cutting mode to prepare for the possibility of more difficult times ahead.
Through it all, the multifamily industry has held its own. It has survived five consecutive recessions over the last forty years and persevered despite COVID-19, a pandemic that crippled sectors once thought to be recession-proof. What’s behind the resilience of the multifamily industry, and what will keep it going through this current recession?
Let’s look at how multifamily owners and operators withstand these economic downturns.
Recession Drives the Adoption of Innovation
What does the future hold for the multifamily industry with a potential recession looming? For multifamily property owners and operators, it looks brighter than you think. Cost-cutting is inevitable, but recessions present an opportunity to not only minimize losses, but to also find new ways of attracting tenants.
After two years of record-breaking growth, rents have started to level off. As a result, owners are seeking creative solutions to recover lost net operating income. One way to accomplish this is by investing in smart property technology.
Because of the pandemic, many property owners have already started modernizing their properties with smart tech, and with good reason. Smart tech is a differentiator for property owners trying to gain operational efficiencies while attracting and retaining tenants.
From an operational standpoint, smart tech automates tasks that would traditionally be handled by leasing agents, maintenance staff, etc. For example, by automating the prospecting process, you won’t have to hire as many leasing agents to maintain your conversion rate. Smart tech also allows you to perform predictive maintenance — where you identify and fix potential utility issues before they happen. This helps you avoid paying excessive repair costs, extend the lifespan of your assets, reduce third-party maintenance calls, and hire less on-site repair staff to handle resident issues. Finally, smart thermostats can auto-adjust to curb unnecessary energy usage. According to a white paper published by Dwelo and cited by Latch, this could result in savings of 43-58% across vacant units.
Smart technology can help convince residents to renew their leases, as indicated, by a recent study of over 3,000 properties. The study found that installing smart technology had a positive impact on tenant retention, with 56% of respondents reporting that resident retention was an effect of installing smart home devices. Additionally, it is worth noting that retaining tenants can often be more cost-efficient than acquiring new ones.
Smart Tech Brings Stability During Volatility
Inflation has always been a driving force behind market volatility, but events in the past few years also played a role in shaping the current market’s predicament. The shutdown from the COVID pandemic hurt the economy and halted supply chains. This led to the Fed lowering interest rates in an effort to increase spending. The stimulus payments that followed allowed renters to stay in their units even though rents had climbed. But even with this economic stimulus, supply chains still struggled, causing prices to rise.
Through all of this, investors have considered multifamily properties a preferred asset class for their portfolios. The industry’s stability during the last five recessions is a track record that both investors and owners can trust. Multifamily owners can survive a recession by gaining greater control over property performance using smart technology. The immediate and long-term impact smart tech has on resident retention, operational efficiency, and income generation should help offset at least some of the adverse effects of rent stagnation. It reduces overhead costs and ultimately yields a higher return on investment.
More than half of property managers consider operational efficiency one of their greatest professional challenges, according to a survey conducted by the National Apartment Association. 74% of owners also said that human resources and staffing are optimization challenges they face. Smart tech can streamline the day-to-day duties of on-site employees by automating tedious processes and alerting staff of any potential problems before it’s too late. This can help reduce the need for specific roles and decrease payroll.
Turning Volatility into Opportunity
When considering whether to invest in property technology, there are several factors to take into consideration, starting with demand. First, residents have expressed a clear demand for smart technology in their apartments. In fact, a recent study by Rent.com stated 40% of apartment residents want smart locks, 44% want smart thermostats, and 41% want smart lighting — by far the three most popular devices among renters. However, 49% of these residents don’t own a single smart device. Owners who satisfy renters by offering preferred smart devices will increase retention and decrease turnover, which will help stabilize their revenue as the economy is in flux.
ROI is also crucial to consider when investing in anything. Take the cost of the implementation you’re about to undertake and look at the effect you want it to have. Will adding additional security or convenience measures with prop tech increase the occupancy of the property? Will it reduce staffing needs? And do one, some, or all of these factors justify the cost of the implementation?
When investing in prop tech, scalability is an important factor as well. Property tech investments ideally are long-term commitments. The vendor you choose should be willing to adapt as your business grows and your needs change, whether that be regarding pricing, updates (both software and hardware), or maintenance.
Practicality Is the Key
While investing in a tennis court or a community garden is cool and attractive, many modern renters are often far more enticed by practical amenities. Practicality is why smart tech checks a lot of boxes for modern renters. Owners who implement smart property tech attract new tenants, retain current ones, reduce labor costs, and manage their assets with ease and efficiency. Smart tech helps build resilience in the midst of strong economic headwinds and serves as a go-to tool when multifamily owners are looking to cut costs. With it, owners won’t just keep their properties afloat — they’ll thrive.

I know today’s bake recipe very well, as I lived in Cyprus for six years where I taught part-time in the local British Forces Education Centre, as well as running a busy Taverna-style restaurant. We only served Cypriot food, and as we were situated near Pyla, the bi-communal village of Greek and Turkish Cypriots, we served both Greek and Turkish Cypriot food.
These little egg and cheese buns are a favourite of mine; known as Easter or Ramadan celebratory bread, but in reality you could buy them for most of the year. I have never made them before, but a yearning for them the other day drove me to some of my Cypriot cookbooks and the kitchen to make a batch.
Commonly called Flaounes outside of Cyprus, which is the Greek name for them, we must also acknowledge the Turkish Cypriot name for them, which is Pilavuna. I have seen them on both sides of the Island and they are often served for breakfast, Cypriot style, with a Cypriot coffee, cheese, tomatoes and always a handful of black olives.
They are quite tricky to make, and although the normal shape for them is square or triangular, I have seen them shaped in rounds, as mine are today. You need to make the bread dough first, that acts as a ‘bread pastry’ casing for the filling, which is cheese, eggs and mint. Traditionally you would use Cypriot cheeses in the filling such as flaouna cheese and halloumi, but as it is hard to get flaouna cheese outside of Cyprus, I have offered alternatives.
I hope you enjoy these little Cypriot pastries if you make them, if you have a sweet tooth, you can also add sultanas to the filling, but I prefer them completely savoury.

Bill backs housing referendum call
|The campaign includes trade unions, housing and homeless agencies, women’s groups, political parties, and other representative groups.
The Raise the Roof housing campaign group has backed calls for a right to housing to be enshrined in the Constitution. It comes following a new Bill, legislating for a referendum on the right to housing, that cleared the second stage in the Dáil on 3rd June.
Raise the Roof coordinator Macdara Doyle said that the creation of a new right to housing was an “essential element” in addressing the dysfunctional housing sector in Ireland and would help deliver affordable homes for all.
The campaign includes trade unions, housing and homeless agencies, women’s groups, political parties, and other representative groups. The campaign has been lobbying for support of constitutional referendum, with a focus on the commitment to hold a referendum contained in the Programme for Government. The campaign has called on all political parties to support the proposed measure.
The group has also called for a massive State-led investment programme to deliver affordable homes for all by utilising public land for public housing provision, cost rental units and affordable homes to purchase, along with measures to create genuine security and certainty for tenants.
Last week the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) advised the Government to double the housing investment to tackle the ongoing housing crisis in the country. It said without the boost in investment and funding by the State, the crisis would stretch for another decade and add onto already steep rents and prices.
