For a lot of people, dancing and drinking go hand in hand. With a buzz, you can actually dance without worrying about what other people think. If you do something foolish you can always blame it on the booze, right?
The Whitehorse – Just Dance monthly events are put on by Steve Potter as an outlet for his joint passions of dancing, DJaying and community. Hailing from the United Kingdom, he spent most of the ’90s running record labels, promoting events and producing music in Birmingham, England. Now a family man, he doesn’t have the time to go out all night – but isn’t ready to hang up his dancing shoes just yet. He brings this deep love and knowledge of all kinds of music (house/reggae/’80s/disco/hip-hop) to Just Dance. An acupuncturist by day, he also aims to combine the dance night with his interest in meditation and bodywork to create an event that is fun, meditative and healing.
The next dance is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. These also take place at the Association Franco-Yukonnaise at 302 Strickland St. The entrance fee is $10.

When a number of regional US banks and Swiss giant Credit Suisse fell in rapid succession, fear of a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis rose. Fast-forward two months and the dust seems to have settled already. APG’s Maurice Walraven, credit analyst for the financial industry, and chief economist Thijs Knaap explain what's been different this time, and why Eurozone banks have escaped unharmed. "Regulation and supervision remain necessary to protect bankers from themselves."
Why have troubles in the banking sector not escalated into a full-blown financial crisis this time? A key difference is that in 2008 many banks had invested heavily in assets - particularly subprime mortgages - that proved essentially worthless. This time only banks with very specific characteristics have collapsed. One thing to note in this respect is that banks that bit the dust all depended to a relatively large extent on uninsured deposits for their funding. When interest rates started to rise, this vulnerability was exposed. "Once clients start to withdraw their money because they're no longer certain it's safe, such banks get into trouble very fast", says Maurice Walraven. Noteworthy too is that no banks in the Eurozone were brought down.
Have we really seen the end of banks collapsing suddenly?
Thijs: "Any bank that is confronted with an outflow of deposits becomes vulnerable, and such outflows are more likely to occur in times of rising interest rates. This is particularly the case in the US where money market funds offer an easy alternative for a savings bank and a 5 percent interest that banks can hardly match. In Europe, where the ECB has also increased interest rates to well above what you and I get on our savings accounts, this is also a risk. But mainly because alternatives are less easily accessible in Europe, we have not yet seen similar deposit outflows over here."
Maurice: "The general view among analysts is that the troubles in the US regional banking sector may not be over. Another characteristic of Silicon Valley Bank that is relevant with respect to potential future problems was its monoline business model, with a focus on a very specific group of customers. There are more such banks, particularly in Germany where a number of wholesale-funded banks specialize in commercial real estate. This sector has been under quite a bit of stress since the pandemic, so that is cause for some concern among investors. But at this point there are no signs that these banks are in any immediate danger."
What are the reasons that no banks in the Eurozone have collapsed?
Maurice: "In large part that is because of differences in regulation and supervision between the US and the Eurozone. Whereas in Europe all banks under supervision of the ECB have to comply fully with the Basel III standards that were set in response to the financial crisis, that is no longer the case in the US. Banks with a balance sheet total of under 250 billion USD - like the three banks that have gone under - have been exempt from certain rules, as part of a deregulation program under the Trump administration. Also the ratio of insured deposits at the banks we talked about was much lower than at European banks where it is typically between 50 and 70 percent. And in addition, the ECB has put limits on the amount of interest rate risk in the banking book, something that their American counterparts have not done. That enabled Silicon Valley Bank in particular to carry a huge amount of such risk. And when interest rates started to rise faster and higher than they probably expected, that really exposed its weakness. So in my view these incidents are partly the result of failing bank supervision in the US, which is more fragmented and less strict than in the Eurozone."
Thijs: "That's a key point we need to take away from this. Bankers always complain about regulation and supervision, but banking is an inherently risky business. Most bankers are very good at what they do and many can still remember what happened in 2008, but history teaches that regulation and supervision remain necessary to protect bankers from themselves. After the 2008 financial crisis a large package of new and stricter banking regulations has been put in place. The question is always at what point enough has been done. Are the dikes strong enough now to withstand the next wave? You never really know until the next crisis comes along. Now that everything seems to have stabilized again, I'm happily surprised that the dikes have held this time. It may not be fully over yet, but this could already have turned out much worse than it has. And yes, a price has to be paid for bank regulations and they will hurt returns in good times, but in bad times they are exactly what saves banks."

Ad Spend On Digital Channels Set To Overtake Traditional Mediums By 2021
The latest media ad spending forecast calculates that digital channels will surpass traditional mediums as early as 2021.
eMarketer crunched the numbers to arrive at the prediction, which begins with an estimated 7.4% increase in total media ad spending this year to $628.63bn, with digital accounting for an ever-increasing share of this total.
Over the next four years the percentage of total media ad spending in the digital realm is expected to rise from just 43.5% in 2018 to just a shade below the psychologically important 50% barrier in 2020, before finally leapfrogging traditional mediums the following year.
In a statement eMarketer wrote: “Global media spending will grow steadily at more than 5.0% per year through 2022. Despite political and economic concerns in several markets, increasing digital ad business will sustain overall advertising gains.
“North America will remain the top advertising market in 2018 at $232.48 billion and a 37.0% share of worldwide total media. Asia-Pacific will place second in regional media spend with $210.43 billion and one-third of global ad business.”
The Asia-Pacific region had been forecast to overtake ad spend in North America by 2019 but this is now expected to be delayed until 2022 owing to better than anticipated North American growth last year and a strengthening US dollar.
Digital ad spend is calculated to overtake television by the end of 2020 in Japan.

Those of you who know me well are aware that I love animals! I think the pet therapy programs for hospitals, the disabled, children, the abused and the elderly is something that is very much needed, and we should have more. I have heard of cats, dogs and horses being used to help the sick and lonely...with amazing results! The beautiful thing about animals is that they love unconditionally. Unconditional love is a wonderful thing that can do astonishing things. I have read and heard about the sick and elderly responding very positively when an animal is brought into their presence. Their blood pressure and heart rate lower, they are calmer and respond remarkably well.
Thank you all for visiting me here today, and please feel free to comment with any of your stories on pet therapy.

We have established a complete TD-LTE value chain in China, including product design, R&D, testing, manufacturing, procurement, and global sales and marketing.


Attack in the Middle is a type of attack defined as listening, directing, and changing the traffic between the target in a network and the network elements (server, router, or modem).
Since the MITM Attacks take place in the 2nd layer in the OSI model, the attacker can dominate all traffic after success. This dominance is unlimited, from encrypted “https” traffic to unencrypted traffic. It is a well-known attack type in network security and protection is the least attack type.
As an example, we can say that they are carrying out this attack by introducing themselves as police officers who take valuable items such as money, etc. :)). Of course
So what are the other tier 2 attacks?
Mac Address Attack VLAN Hopping Attacks Spanning-Tree Protocol MAC Spoofing Attack ARP Spoofing Attack CDP Vulnerability
For attackers to succeed in MITM attacks, the victim must direct the victim to the proxy server rather than the actual server. The following scenarios are implemented in this;
Attacks on the Local Network
ARP Poisoning: The attacker presents itself as a target with a false ARP Request framework. Thus, the packets that will go to the real target come towards the attacker. The attacker maps the MAC Address to the target computer's table as 'Network Device MAC Address'. This way traffic starts to flow over itself.
DNS Spoofing (DNS Cache Poisoning, Deception): DNS cache poisoning is caused by returning the wrong IP addresses of the name server and changing traffic to another computer (often the attacker's computer) by adding data to or changing the data there. attack.
Port Stealing: The attacker uses the MAC address of the target server as the source address, creating a false ARP framework. The switch is fooled by assuming that the victim computer is actually connected to the port to which an attacker is connected. Thus, all data frames sent for the victim's computer are sent to the attacker's switch port.
STP Mangling: It is an attack-type that prevents the STP protocol from working and sends a request for continuous topology change.
Attacks from the Local Network to the Remote Network Through Gateway
ARP Poisoning (ARP Poisoning)
DNS Spoofing (DNS Cache Poisoning, Deception)
DHCP Spoofing: The attacker acts as a DHCP server, distributes IP to victim computers, and gives its own address as a gateway. In this way, network traffic flows through itself.
ICMP Redirection: Published ICMP Redirect messages are attack methods used by attackers to attack their traffic.
IRDP Spoofing: The ICMP Router discovery protocol allows the host to discover the IP address of active routers. The attacker sends the IRDP router advertisement message on the dummy network to the host on the subnet, causing it to change its default router.
Route Mangling: The attacker cheats that gateway is the best route for the client on the internet by sending fake packets. The packets are forwarded directly to the client without interrupting the gateway.
Attacks on the Remote Network
DNS Poisoning (DNS Poisoning)
Traffic Tunneling: It is a type of attack that allows an attacker to create a tunnel and place itself on the internal network.

By the time students reach high school, I feel that they should be able to think critically and conceptually about the art their making. That's why I created these 5 conceptual art making prompts.
Students learn about contemporary artists and art history, while pushing themselves to make stronger works of art. These prompts are all designed to encourage visual expression, not just technical drawing skills, and they could be completed in virtually any medium! Use them as sketchbook assignments or as the jumping off point for larger projects.
Students will learn:
-to connect visual art with spoken language, through typography and semiotics.
-how text can be used in contemporary art to reinforce the artist's concept.
-the brief history of symbolism in art and how images can be used in a symbolic way to create narrative in a work of art.
-how to utilize scale/size in a thoughtful way and why size, in art, matters.
-how to further their concepts through abstraction

Face Masks Are Now Compulsory Everywhere Throughout Queensland
Covering up isn't just required in the Greater Brisbane area — it's mandatory across the entire state.
March 30, 2021
In a bid to contain the latest coronavirus outbreak, the Queensland Government yesterday, Monday, March 29, mandated the wearing of masks across Greater Brisbane for during the region's lockdown. That spans the Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton and Redlands local government areas, running through until 5pm on Thursday, April 1. But if you're located elsewhere throughout the state, you'll need to mask up, too.
This is the first time that wearing a mask has been made compulsory everywhere across Queensland; however, different rules still apply in different places. While Brisbanites are currently required to don a mask everywhere except inside their own homes — which you're only allowed to leave to go to work, to shop for essentials, for exercise and for care reasons — folks elsewhere have a bit more leniency. Still, you'll always have to carry one with you.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has today, Tuesday, March 30, released a roadmap outlining current restrictions across the state, which outlines mask rules beyond Greater Brisbane. Outside of the capital, they must be worn in all indoor spaces other than your home, all indoor workplaces unless it is unsafe to do so, on public transport, in taxis and ride share vehicles, and outdoors when social distancing isn't possible.
People affected by a medical condition are exempt from the mask rules, as are children under 12. And, you're also allowed to temporarily remove your mask for eating and drinking, and if it's necessary for your job.
A number of other restrictions are in place for residents outside of Greater Brisbane, which could give Brisbanites an idea of what may be in store if the lockdown does end on Thursday as planned. They include 30-person limits on at-home gatherings, including folks who live with you; 500-person caps on outside gatherings in public; no dancing at venues (yes, it's Footloose time again in Queensland); and only allowing seated service at cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

Urban agriculture, encompassing community gardens, urban farms, and local food production, has seen a resurgence in recent years. This article explores the many benefits of urban agriculture and local food systems, including food security, community development, and public health enhancements.
The Urban Agriculture Revolution
1. Improving Food Security
Urban agriculture has shown the potential to alleviate food insecurity in urban areas. By growing food locally, urban farmers can directly provide food to their communities, ensuring access to fresh food even in food deserts where supermarkets might be scarce.
2. Enhancing Food Access and Healthy Eating
Urban farming provides an immediate source of fresh food, promoting a healthier food environment. Community gardens and urban farms make healthy food more accessible, encouraging a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Fostering Community Health and Social Benefits
Participating in urban agriculture has social benefits, building strong community bonds. Community-supported agriculture programs, community gardens, and urban farms serve as gathering spots, encouraging interaction among urban residents and fostering a sense of ownership and pride.
4. Creating Sustainable Food Systems
Urban agriculture supports sustainable food systems by reducing the need for long food supply chains. Local food production minimizes transportation emissions and supports community food systems that are more resilient to global food shocks.
Different Types of Urban Agriculture
From rooftop gardens to commercial urban farming operations, the types of urban agriculture are diverse. Each has its own benefits and limitations, and they include:
- Community Gardens and Urban Farms: Enhancing food access and community development in the urban united areas.
- Home Food Gardens: Allowing urban residents to grow food in their own space.
- Food Safety and Regulations: Urban agriculture operations adhere to the guidelines set by the Department of Agriculture, ensuring food safety and quality.
The Impact of Urban Agriculture on Public Health
Urban agriculture could be a game-changer for public health. Evidence suggests that urban agriculture helps improve food and nutrition security, reducing the prevalence of diet-related illnesses. The increased access to healthy food is linked to better overall community health.
Local Community and Local Food System Integration
Urban agriculture includes a wide array of practices, such as community-supported agriculture, alternative food networks, and civic agriculture. These practices are intrinsically tied to local and regional food systems, connecting food producers and distributors to consumers in a more direct and sustainable way.
Conclusion: The Future of Food in Urban Environments
Urban agriculture has the potential to reshape the way we think about food in urban areas. From addressing food insecurity to boosting community development in the urban United States, the benefits of urban farming are extensive and far-reaching.
The importance of urban agriculture is not only in food production but also in fostering community engagement, promoting sustainable practices, and providing an innovative solution to modern urban challenges.
As urban planners, farmers, and consumers embrace the potential of agriculture in urban environments, the possibilities for growth and innovation are endless. Urban agriculture projects are more than just gardens and urban farms; they are part of a movement towards a more resilient, equitable, and nourishing future.
So, whether you are interested in food justice, food distribution, or simply savoring locally produced delights, urban agriculture and local food systems offer a fresh and exciting path forward.

As someone very aptly put this, The Bastard Prince is, a very pleasant book. Not much more, but still very pleasant and enjoyable read.
It is not bad
. Oh no, never
that. It's just, it lacked a bit of something
that would probably have boosted it into a more memorable category.
I liked it. The romance was cute and had me smiling a certain parts of the books and the mystery wasn't all too obvious (well, once you find out it's a bit of a facepalm moment as you think "Why the fuck didn't I think of that?") and it was altogether quite good book.
And once the little "twist" was revealed that was a pretty major facepalm too. I mean, why the hell didn't I think of that?
. It was so obvious yet not obvious.
Anyway, this was quite an enjoyable read and a nice addition to the world of Kyria (though I'm still trying to figure out where the hell they are, since it doesn't seem like Illussor, and definitely isn't Kyria or the other place. . . I seriously thought there were only three countries. Whoops? turns this was set on another continent but same world). Recommended for a very easy, light and fun read!

Lethal Crisis: When Seniors Turn To Suicide
When Larry Anders moved into the Bay at Burlington nursing home in late 2017, he wasn’t supposed to be there long. At 77, the stoic Wisconsin machinist had just endured the death of his wife of 51 years and a grim new diagnosis: throat cancer, stage 4.
His son and daughter expected him to stay two weeks, tops, before going home to begin chemotherapy. From the start, they were alarmed by the lack of care at the center, where, they said, staff seemed indifferent, if not incompetent — failing to check on him promptly, handing pills to a man who couldn’t swallow.
Anders never mentioned suicide to his children, who camped out day and night by his bedside to monitor his care.
But two days after Christmas, alone in his nursing home room, Anders killed himself. He didn’t leave a note.
The act stunned his family. His daughter, Lorie Juno, 50, was so distressed that, a year later, she still refused to learn the details of her father’s death. The official cause was asphyxiation.
“It’s sad he was feeling in such a desperate place in the end,” Juno said.
In a nation where suicide continues to climb, claiming more than 47,000 lives in 2017, such deaths among older adults — including the 2.2 million who live in long-term care settings — are often overlooked. A six-month investigation by Kaiser Health News and PBS NewsHour finds that older Americans are quietly killing themselves in nursing homes, assisted living centers and adult care homes.
Poor documentation makes it difficult to tell exactly how often such deaths occur. But a KHN analysis of new data from the University of Michigan suggests that hundreds of suicides by older adults each year — nearly one per day — are related to long-term care. Thousands more people may be at risk in those settings, where up to a third of residents report suicidal thoughts, research shows.
Each suicide results from a unique blend of factors, of course. But the fact that frail older Americans are managing to kill themselves in what are supposed to be safe, supervised havens raises questions about whether these facilities pay enough attention to risk factors like mental health, physical decline and disconnectedness — and events such as losing a spouse or leaving one’s home. More controversial is whether older adults in those settings should be able to take their lives through what some fiercely defend as “rational suicide.”
Tracking suicides in long-term care is difficult. No federal regulations require reporting of such deaths and most states either don’t count — or won’t divulge — how many people end their own lives in those settings.
Briana Mezuk, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan, found in 2015 that the rate of suicide in older adults in nursing homes in Virginia was nearly the same as the rate in the general population, despite the greater supervision the facilities provide.
In research they presented at the 2018 Gerontological Society of America annual meeting, Mezuk’s team looked at nearly 50,000 suicides among people 55 and older in the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) from 2003 to 2015 in 27 states. They found that 2.2% of those suicides were related to long-term care. The people who died were either people living in or transitioning to long-term care, or caregivers of people in those circumstances.

In an article published by Love What Matters, Jamie Reichenbach from Florida shared her story in a personal essay about her 22 miscarriages.
Jamie, who has a 12-year-old son, said that she and her husband would plan their entire schedule around being pregnant, but it always ended the same painful way.
Jamie admitted that she felt like she was pregnant every other month and explained how they started planning their lives based on possible miscarriages.
In March 2018, the pregnant Jamie said she felt that the familiar cramps and was a sign of another failed pregnancy.
Jaimie then headed into ‘urgent care’ to confirm her miscarriage but she was surprised to know that ‘the baby was fine.’ That until she was told that the baby was growing in her fallopian tube, so she was rushed to hospital where her nightmare began.
“I was so humiliated and so alone, but I oddly felt comfort in knowing the longer I stayed in the hallway, the longer I got to keep my baby,” Jamie wrote.
After an hour of waiting, Jamie said that two student doctors approached her bedside and told her she had an ectopic pregnancy. They went on to say that she had to terminate the pregnancy and that she had two options – surgery or an injection of methotrexate.
“I burst into tears and they just stared at me. I knew I was making them uncomfortable and it just upset me more. They wanted me to make a decision right then!” Jamie recalls. “I wanted to scream at them to leave, but that would have required me to come out from underneath the blanket and to speak. They finally left after what was probably only a couple of minutes, but felt more like an hour.”
Jamie was shaken and broken and explained she that could die if she refused to terminate the pregnancy. This would mean “leaving my son without his mother,” and that just “wasn’t an option”.
The broken mother wanted the surgery – despite being her life at risk – but taking her doctor’s advice, she decided to go for the shot of methotrexate.
The shot is a chemotherapy agent and immune-system suppressant and it’s used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, ectopic pregnancy, and medical abortions.
After being sent home, Jamie was “more broken than ever”, but despite everything, she remained optimistic.
“I had lost so many babies before, and as messed up as it is to say, this was my normal…lose a baby and get back to life,” she said.
Jamie is forced to carry on with her life and said that “every day was hard” but she “lowly started to get back to normal and find things to keep her mind busy.
After two weeks, Jamie said she remembered waking up with the worst pain she had ever felt. She began to sweat and the color drained from her body so she woke her husband and they began to panic.
“The look on his face when he looked at me confirmed it – I was definitely dying. He was in a panic!” she said.
The couple arrived at the hospital where she was told “it’s probably an ovarian cyst”, but having had them before, she knew this was different.
Jamie explained it was an ultrasound that revealed “the baby I lost was still alive”, the methotrexate did not work and the baby had grown in size, causing her “tubes to rapture”.
“So here we were again, having to terminate the same pregnancy for a second time to save my life, except this time it wasn’t preemptive,” Jamie said. “This time, my life was in serious danger and emergency surgery was the only option.”
It took an entire year for her to accept what had happened and she was finally able to “feel again.”
“I wasn’t just grieving baby 23, but the fact that I’d never allowed myself to grieve the 22 before,” she said. “Baby 23 didn’t break me. Not giving myself the time and space to grieve each and every loss, forcing myself to be strong, let the pressure of society force me back to ‘normal’ when I wasn’t ready to be, and my need to be okay – these are what broke me.”
Jamie revealed that she still has days where she’s “hit with waves of sadness and anger” but she’s learned to accept them.
“We don’t have to force ourselves to be okay to make others comfortable,” she said. “We don’t have to protect people from our feelings. We deserve to allow ourselves to experience our loss for what it is.”

In the same period of 2019, before the pandemic hit the global travel and tourism industries, the flag carrier served more than 35 million travelers.
The passenger load factor was 75.6 percent in January-June, down from 80.1 percent two years ago, while the number of landings fell 12.9 percent to 204,798.
Turkish Airlines carried 7.8 million domestic passengers in the first half of this year against 9.6 million in the same period of 2019, while the international passenger tally declined 3.6 percent to 19.3 million.
In June alone, the carrier saw a 4.4 percent increase in total passenger traffic to 6.9 million people, with the load factor improving from 80.5 percent two years ago to 83.6 percent last month.
The company carried 11.6 million domestic passengers and 19.3 million international passengers in June this year.
Turkish Airlines increased the number of destinations it flies to from 311 in June 2019 to 335 last month. The carrier also widened its fleet from 338 airplanes to 380.
Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines’s low-cost carrier AnadoluJet took delivery of an A321NEO airplane.
With the arrival of the new jet, the number of airplanes in the carrier’s fleet increased from 58 to 59.
AnadoluJet, which served around 7 million passengers in the first seven months of the year, targets to add another 20 jets to its fleet by the end of 2022.


The city is finalizing the contract’s closeout, Director of Public Works Kent Collins said during an Oct. 25 presentation. The project, which stretches between Coppell Road and West Bethel School Road, began construction in June 2021.
The project’s scope included the replacement of all existing pavement; the replacement of existing sidewalks; and the replacement of the water, storm water and wastewater infrastructure to improve capacity and renew the lines to match the expected life of the new pavement.
The department is working with another contractor to get pricing on painting curbs and removing some of the crossings at the uncontrolled intersections. There were crossings on Plantation Drive prior to the start of construction, but more crossings were added later at other intersections to provide more access.
Collins said the single ramp on the receiving side of Plantation Drive will be removed along with the ramp that feeds the crossing on the other side of Plantation Drive.
“Plantation [Drive] has been there for 35, 40 years without all of those crossings. We don’t believe that was a good design decision, so we’re looking at going back in and removing those,” he said.
Coppell City Council approved a $5.45 million construction contract for the project last year. Funding for the project is provided through 2020 bond proceeds.

So I Kind of Had Fun At El Mundo Zurdo
And of course I must post some pictures!
Ok, first one's my Mouthfeel Press panel! There's ire'ne lara silva, me, lau, and maria maloney (my publisher!)
So I totally didn't control myself and I totally had to hug everyone. I'm a dork, a complete valley girl but that's ok I've come to terms with myself.
And here's >>>
me reading at Gallista Gallery! We went there afterwards, and all the talented poets read! Well, the talented poets and me... LOL.
Ok, so honestly yes I had a great time at El Mundo Zurdo. It was all about the poems, true, but for me it was all about meeting people, too. I met all the wonderful ladies at my press (who were incredibly friendly and nice), plus leaders in the field, other talented poetas, and just plain old smart people.
It was a blast! Oh, and most importantly - I DROVE ;)
YES, I did it and I did NOT have a nervous breakdown along the way. Phew, so proud! I think mostly it was thanks to my GPS. That way I didn't have to worry about getting lost in a big city like San Antonio (which is big compared to little sleepy Edinburg/McAllen, ok?!).
Oh! And I've been writing poems, too~~~~
Some my accomplishments are as follows:
1. mustered up the courage to drive
2. presented successfully at conference with many smart people in attendance
3. read at gallista gallery in san antonio with performance poets, felt intimidated and nervous, but did it anyway!
4. wrote new poem, that i kind of love.
5. made huge progress on thesis. my professor was proud of me :D
I'm feeling good~ so good~ right now. With the recent pubs, my conference experience, my thesis progress, things are finally starting to come together again. I'm myself again~
Phew. And it's a good thing, too.
So what are my goals for the remainder of the month?
I vow to:
Send out submissions to Columbia Poetry and Nimrod
Write two new poems
Edit my workshopped poems
Not think about PhD anymore until I finish MFA.
Yeah, that's right. I need to put it on the backburner for awhile. I was getting way too overwhelmed, and it wasn't good for me.
So for now, keep it simple~
And I'll be just fine :-)

High school teacher 'stole $30,000 from her students' homecoming dance fund and blew every cent on penny slots'
- Lydia Johnson, 29, was charged with one count of embezzlement from a nonprofit organization
- The Spanish teacher at Dakota High School coordinated the school's homecoming dance and a camping trip
- Ticket sales should have taken in nearly $30,000, but Johnson deposited only $11,000 into the school's Homecoming account
- Johnson only deposited $500 for a school camping trip that should have brought in $13,000
- Casino records show she spent $90,000 at penny slots at MGM Grand Detroit casino in 2016
- If convicted of her felony, she could face up to 10 years in prison
Detroit high school teacher Lydia Johnson, 29 (pictured) was charged with one count of embezzlement from a nonprofit organization after being accused of stealing $30,000 dollars from student events and spending it all at a casino
A Detroit high school teacher is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from student events and spending it all at a casino.
Lydia Johnson, a Spanish teacher at Dakota High School, was charged with one count of embezzlement from a nonprofit organization after authorities say she stole $30,000 to play on penny slots at MGM Grand Detroit casino.
Johnson, 29, had been entrusted to coordinate the high school's homecoming dance as well as a camping trip.
Macomb County authorities say, based on attendance for Dakota's 2016 homecoming dance, ticket sales should have taken in nearly $30,000. Johnson, however, deposited only $11,000 into the school's Homecoming account.
Additionally, Johnson also oversaw ticket sales and receipts for a 60-person student-and-parent trip to Camp Tamarack. Only $500 was deposited with the school when the trip should have taken in $13,000.
A search of her classroom revealed several casino receipts next to the open and empty homecoming envelopes, Prosecutor Eric Smith said in a release.
'This teacher held a position of trust within the high school,' he said. 'She repaid that trust by feeding student funds into a slot machine.'
The prosecutor's office alleges Johnson spent more than $90,000 at MGM Casino in 2016 playing penny slots, according to casino receipts.
Johnson was placed on administrative leave on May 3 when district administrators discovered some accounting discrepancies in the school's activities fund, according to a release from Chippewa Valley Schools.
Casino receipts show that Johnson spent $90,000 playing penny slots at MGM Grand Casino (pictured) in 2016. Johnson was in charge of a homecoming dance at Dakota High School. Ticket sales should have brought in $30,000, but she gave the school only $11,000
Additionally, Johnson also oversaw ticket sales and receipts for a 60-person student-and-parent trip to Camp Tamarack for Dakota (pictured). Only $500 was deposited with the school, when the trip should have taken in $13,000
Per district policy, Johnson was prohibited from being on any school premises, attending any school events and having contact with any students or staff without prior permission from the administration.
Administrators contacted the sheriff's office, which investigated.
An internal audit investigation is in progress.
John was arraigned on Thursday and her bond was set at $10,000. She will be back in court of a hearing on October 5.
If convicted of her felony, she could face up to 10 years in prison.

Cristiano Ronaldo Speaks Japanese During Al-Nassr’s Pre-Season Tour of Japan
The Al-Nassr star is currently in Japan with his teammates for their pre-season matches against PSG and also Inter Milan
Cristiano Ronaldo would look to get his name on the scoresheet as Al-Nassr gear up to face the European giants.
WHAT HAPPENED? Ronaldo, currently playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, was on holiday in his native country with his family, and one of his children was spotted wearing a United shirt
WHAT THEY POSTED: Georgina Rodriguez posted the holiday snaps on Instagram, in which a PSG shirt was also on display.
THE GOSSIP: It's somewhat odd given his bitter departure from United at the beginning of the year that Ronaldo would allow one of his sons to be photographed in the club's shirt, but perhaps it shows that he harbours no ill will toward his former side
WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO? Ronaldo is still playing at Al-Nassr, and his contract doesn't expire until 2025. He has scored 14 goals in the Saudi Pro League from 16 games.
"We are so happy to be here, Al-Nassr's first time in Japan.We have two good games to play, and we are excited. Japanese people are very passionate about football and we're here to give a good show."
– One of Ronaldo's sons pictured in a United shirt

Jimmy Fallon received harsh criticism for his interview with Donald Trump last week, but he managed to poke fun at himself by giving Hillary Clinton literal softballs before a mostly softball interview with absolutely no hair-ruffling.
Filmed last week in the midst of the fallout (some which is now coming from his late-night colleagues), some were concerned Fallon might follow suit with Clinton, especially after early promotional photos from the interview showed Fallon in a mask and hand sanitizer as a response to Clinton’s recent bout of pneumonia.
But it turns out that was only a small bit in a larger interview that focused more on issues, the double standard Clinton sometimes experiences, and the historic nature of her candidacy.
The duo played out a bit where Fallon looked at some of the “items” Trump left behind in his dressing room, and Clinton got to address the fallout she received after Matt Lauer’s disastrous interview from RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, who told her to smile. Ahead of the first presidential debate, she spoke out against Trump’s rhetoric.
They also read letters from children posted to Clinton’s Tumblr, and while one of them had a very strong opinion of which Clinton haircuts were the best, others especially demonstrated the kind of hope she gives to young women.

Bed bugs and mosquitoes are both insects that love to prey on humans and animals, feeding on blood to survive. Bites from bed bugs and mosquitoes can look pretty similar at first glance, making it difficult to tell which one bit you if you didn't see it happen. By paying close attention to the appearance of your bites and the symptoms you experience, you can usually determine which type of bite you have.
Why does it matter if your bites are mosquito bites vs. bed bug bites? Knowing the culprit can help you determine the proper treatment for your insect bites. It can also help you decide which plan of attack you need to take to rid your home of the biting insects that have invaded it.
Do Bed Bug Bits Look Like Mosquito Bites?
Bites from mosquitoes and bed bugs can both look like small, red bumps, but that is where their similarities end. What do mosquito bites look like? Mosquito bites tend to show up individually (as opposed to in clusters) and can occur anywhere that clothing does not cover. They present as a puffy, swollen white or red bump with a small puncture wound in the center.
On the other hand, bed bug bites are small red bumps that can blister or look like a pimple. Because bed bugs tend to bite when you are asleep, you may not even know you have bed bug bites until a few hours or days after you are bitten. Bed bug bites are more likely to show up in a cluster of three to five bumps than as a single bite, and they may occur in a line or zigzag pattern. Any area of your body that is exposed while you sleep is prime real estate for bed bug bites.
You will probably quickly notice the itch and irritation of a mosquito bite, either right after you are bitten or, if you are bitten in your sleep, as soon as you wake up. However, you may not realize you have bed bug bites until a day or two after these critters bite you. In addition, mosquito bites may disappear after a day or two, while bed bug bites can last several days.
Symptoms of Bed Bug Bites vs. Mosquito Bites
Both bed bug bites and mosquito bites can leave you with itchy, red or irritating bumps and welts. You can get more than an itch from mosquito bites; these flying pests can transmit diseases including Zika, malaria, West Nile virus and dengue fever. Bed bugs don't transmit diseases, but you can get an infection from their bites if you scratch them.
Treatment for Bed Bugs and Mosquito Bites
To make bug bite irritation go away, clean the area well with soap and water. Try not to scratch your mosquito bites or bed bug bites, as scratching can break the skin's surface and lead to infection. Apply an anti-itch cream or take an over-the-counter antihistamine to reduce your body's reaction.
When it comes to how to treat bug bites, most people can manage any discomfort from bites at home. However, others may have a more acute reaction. If you experience any severe allergy symptoms, especially difficulty breathing and throat swelling, seek emergency medical treatment because you may be experiencing anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially fatal allergic response.
The Search for Their Hideouts
If you still aren't sure whether you're dealing with bed bug bites vs. mosquito bites, look for the source. It's harder to find mosquitoes since they can exist anywhere outdoors and even in your home, but you can easily rule out bed bugs by checking your bed. You should look at your mattress, box spring, bed frame and furniture within a few feet of where you sleep. If you find small, dark bugs in these areas, your bites are likely from bed bugs.
Mosquitoes live outdoors but don't mind finding a way to sneak inside your home, buzzing around until they find a warm-blooded victim. They tend to breed in any standing water near or around your yard.
For reference, below are pictures of a bed bug (top) and a mosquito (bottom). Compare the insects you find to these photos to help determine whether you're dealing with bed bugs or mosquito bites.
An Ounce of Prevention
Unfortunately, infestations of bed bugs and mosquitoes are both common. Once relatively rare in America, bed bugs are now found in every U.S. state. Mosquitoes are also found in more locales than ever before, due in part to rising temperatures around the globe.
The last thing you want in your home are mosquitoes, bed bugs and other biting insects that can cause discomfort and spread disease. To get rid of bed bugs and mosquitoes quickly and effectively, bring in a trained professional with prevention services to stop bugs in their tracks. At MosquitoNix®, we offer a wide range of mosquito control services to meet the needs of your home or business. We also have pest control services that cover flies, ants, bed bugs, ticks and more.

Hiking The Napau Crater Trail
The 10th most popular hiking trail in Hawaii.
Sunday 3 July 2016 03:30 GMT
Southwest of Hilo in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, the Napau Crater Trail (aka Mauna Ulu Trail) is an adventurous route to the Puu Oo Vent, which is the center of the current eruption. This 18 mile round trip hike will require all day.
The trailhead is off Chain Of Craters Road between milepost 3 and 4.
After about a half hour hike from the trailhead, there is a side trail leading up Puu Huluhulu, the summit of which offers a nice vista of Mauna Ulu. Beyond this side trail, the route becomes more difficult and the footing less certain. The route heads to the massive Makaopuhi Crater and then to the Napau Crater at the 7 mile point. From here, its only another 2 miles to Puu Oo, and this is the most scenic part of the trail. The trail heads near the base of the volcano so watch out for which way the wind is blowing to avoid volcanic fumes.
Be aware that most Hawaiian topographic maps use the Old Hawaiian Datum. When trying to use the latitude/longitude from those maps with a GPS unit, you will think you are 0.4 miles south/southeast of where you really are. Kind of important in a dense jungle.
Overall, Napau Crater Trail is the 10th most popular hiking trail of all 45 hikes in Hawaii. Several of the better hiking trails are nearby Napau Crater Trail including Mauna Loa Trail, HiIlawe Falls, Kulani Forest Trail System, Ala Kahakai Trail, Muliwai Trail / Waimanu Valley and Pololu Valley TrailKilauea Crater Park.

A robot has appeared at the Philadelphia airport that delivers food to travelers waiting to board a flight, UPI reports.
During the pandemic, a new employee, the robot Gita, appeared in the air harbor of the sixth-largest city in the country. As an experiment, a small “truck” delivers the food ordered by tourists from the airport catering establishments directly to the waiting place for the flight.
The robot uses Bluetooth to take an order in a special app and bring it to the customer.
“Now more than ever, we are committed to using innovative solutions for contactless delivery,” said Megan O’Connell, the airport’s head of marketing. “Gita allows guests to choose whether they want to go to a cafe or are ready to get food with new technologies.”
In social networks, users compare the robot with the character of ‘Star Wars.’ The experiment will last until April.
No, you aren’t at Tatooine Airport, but that is a robot at #PHLAirport delivering food from @PHLFoodandShops merchants. Starting today, guests placing orders via OrderAtPHL might have their food brought to them by this Gita. Read more about the pilot: https://t.co/BKWTdCiveV. pic.twitter.com/f5Cac4ehtT

If your New Year’s resolutions have you thinking about healthier eating habits, we have a suggestion: start with small, manageable goals that you can implement for the whole family. One easy place to start is by cutting back on white rice. Earlier this year, my family and I switched to these healthier substitutes for white rice, and we’ve not only felt a lot better, but the kids have barely noticed.
That said, I get that not every family will be amenable to the change — at least not at first. But if you start by using these ideas to substitute rice as an addition to soups, burritos, stir fries, and casseroles, these changes can be made without causing too many ripples around the dinner table. Give it a go and you might be surprised.
1. Cauliflower rice
We eat cauliflower rice about once a week in my house, and it’s been our favorite substitute for white rice. (Give yourself a break and buy the frozen version at the grocery; it’s great.) When I’m using it for tacos, I add a little cumin and cayenne. When I use it to make a stir fry, I’ll throw in some soy sauce and minced ginger. And I can’t wait to whip up this amazing Dirty Cauliflower Rice recipe at Bites of Wellness to serve with some red beans and kielbasa.
With layers of flavor added, my kids barely notice the switch. And now that I’ve gotten used to it, I actually prefer cauliflower rice to white rice, because I feel so much lighter at the end of my meal.
By switching from white rice to cauliflower rice, you’re not only adding vitamins and minerals (yay vegetables!), you’re also saving yourself 193 calories and 41g of carbs per cup. Whoa.
Quinoa is an easy substitution for rice in any casserole, soup, or rice bowl and packs in way more protein. If your recipe calls for rice, just substitute the same amount of quinoa. It’s a smaller grain (technically a seed, but you know, who’s keeping track?), so the texture isn’t quite the same, but I like that it doesn’t add any unexpected flavor to a dish.
Yes, that’s right: I said that it doesn’t add any unexpected flavor, because it truly doesn’t if cooked correctly. When you use our tutorial for how to cook quinoa properly, you’ll end up with fluffy, mild, delicious quinoa that is not bitter or smoky. Read it, learn it, cook it. You’ll never turn back.
Switching from white rice to quinoa saves you around 40 calories and adds more essential fiber than rice, making your dish more filling. It also offers way more protein, which always seems to be a concern with parents.
If you aren’t a fan of the soft, fluffy texture of cooked quinoa, you might prefer using toothsome barley instead of rice. The shape of the grain is a bit closer to rice and it will give you a similar chewy texture. It’s also great if you have heart issues or are trying to lower your blood sugar. And because it doesn’t add a super strong flavor of it’s own, your kids won’t notice — or at least mind — finding barley in their soups or casseroles.
Barley has 6 grams of fiber (compared to 3g for brown rice and just 1g for white rice), as well as 3.5 grams of protein and 17-20 grams of calcium per cup.
4. Butternut Squash
If you’re craving a big bowl of risotto, but are trying to cut back on carbs, try this recipe for Butternut Squash Risotto that I found at Paleo Grubs. The naturally creamy texture of squash makes it a great substitute for starchy aborio rice (which is a type of white rice).
Visually, this is quite a shift, but if you’re open to it (and by you, I mean the kids), this tastes delicious.
Butternut squash weighs in at just 82 calories and 22g carbs, compared to 169 calories and 37g carbs per cup of white rice. Plus, it packs in way more vitamins and minerals because it’s a veggie!
5. Brown or red rice
White rice has been milled to remove both the outer husk and bran from the grain, but brown rice has only had the husk removed. This makes it a whole grain, with a lot more fiber than white rice. And if you choose red rice, you’re adding iron and zinc to your meal too. They both take longer to cook than white rice, so plan accordingly.
For die hard white rice families, I’ve found that both brown and red rice are best cooked in casseroles like jambalaya and paella, where there’s a tons of liquid that cooks slowly, giving the rice plenty of time and opportunity to soak up tons of flavor.
You’ll save yourself about 30 calories and 8 carbs per cup of rice when you make the switch from white to brown.


Heating and air conditioning systems can be monstrous investments but is nevertheless an essential need for the good people of Chattanooga, TN and Cleveland, GA to keep their homes comfortable. Having an air conditioning and heating system installed in your home is not the end of the story, you will be getting electricity bills for that thing and much of the cost is largely dependent on you. Do you all in heating and air conditioning repair in your city when your system starts acting up? Don’t wait for something to go wrong. There are plenty of things that can help you reduce your energy bills and extend the life of your heating and air conditioning system.
A responsible heating and air conditioning system’s owner will make sure he is doing all he can to add to the lifespan of his system and improving its running efficiency. Let’s take a look at some of the ways in which you can increase the lifespan and efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system:
1. Filter change
This is a simple practice that does not necessarily require heating and air condition service in your respective city whether it is Chattanooga, TN or Cleveland, GA. The filters in your heating and air conditioning system are working continually as long as the system is being used. With the passage of time, they get dirty with residue blocking the air flow through them. When the filters get obstructed like that, the entire heating and air conditioning system has to work twice as hard which means more electricity is consumed. So if the energy bills at the end of the month baffle you, you might want to change your filters. You could set reminders for yourself or better yet, get one of those smart thermostats that alert you when the filters need to be changed right away. Changing the air filters periodically can significantly increase the lifespan of the system and lower the energy bills!
2. Inspect the outdoor unit
With air hissing through your vents or the air conditioner at an ideal temperature, it is very easy to forget that an outdoor unit for the heating and air conditioning unit exists which has to be maintained just as well. The outdoor unit is an integral part of the heating and air conditioning system of your home that needs inspection every once in a while. Look for any broken tree limbs, leaves or debris from the storm that might have caused damage to your heating and air conditioning unit’s outdoor unit. If you see any damage, don’t waste any time and call for heating and air conditioning repair in your city right away. Also, make sure that there is adequate space around the outdoor unit because shrubbery or walls can easily obstruct the outflow of air from the outdoor unit easily. So don’t try to cover up the outdoor unit that does not blend in with the landscape with bushes because you might end up getting a hefty energy bills due to that.
3. Keeping the indoor vents
The outdoor unit is not the only heating and air conditioning system counterpart that you have to keep unobstructed. In order to have the entire heating and air conditioning system maintain its steady air flow, you need to make sure you keep the indoor supply vents clean too. The indoor supply vents are often one of those hard to reach places that homeowners don’t care to clean. Make sure that you vacuum the deposits of dust and debris away from the vent. If the dust remains in the vents, the quality of air produced by the heating and air conditioning system can be significantly compromised. So if you have allergies, you should be more responsible with duct cleaning. If your tight schedule does not allow you to make time for such simple yet important maintenance practices, you can always have a heating and air condition service in your city do it for you. Additionally, don’t let any furniture, blinds or other objects block the vents! This is a common mistake made by plenty of homeowners in Chattanooga, TN as well as Cleveland, GA that can unnecessarily add to your energy bills.
4. Slightly increasing the thermostat
The key to increasing the lifespan of your heating and air conditioning system is to not let it work extra hard when it does not have to. A good way to ensure that is the smart use of the thermostat. Winters can get pretty chilly in Cleveland, GA so make sure you turn the thermostat down about 5 – 8 degrees in the winter. In the hot summer time, you don’t have to crank the thermostat all the way down. Keep it 5 – 8 degrees above what you would typically adjust it at during the summer and be patient for the heating and air conditioning system to bring the indoor temperature to a comfortable range. Furthermore, get one of those programmable thermostats to adjust the temperature for different times during the day. This surefire way of shedding bucks off your energy bill lets homeowners program the thermostat in a manner that the heating and air conditioning system does not work hard when no one is home. When you come home after a long day of work, the programmable thermostat will have allowed your home to be comfortably warm.
5. Scheduling regular heating and air conditioning service in your city
Having heating and air conditioning service carried out by professional experts in one of the best ways to extend the lifespan of your heating and air conditioning system. The heating and air conditioning experts in your city are aware of all the ins and outs of your system. The service will ensure a thorough inspection of the entire system to reveal any shortcomings leading to inefficiency of the heating and air conditioning system. If necessary, they will also carry out a duct cleaning to improve the indoor air quality of your home and save you a great deal on those energy bills.
Whether you are a resident of Chattanooga, TN or Cleveland, GA, the experienced HVAC professionals at Metro Plumbing, Heating and Air will make sure that your heating and air conditioning system is running at utmost efficiency and ease so you don’t have to spend a fortune on costly repairs later.

Netanyahu Slams Iran Nuclear Deal as ‘Historic Mistake’
Hours after a deal was announced between Iran and world powers over the country’s nuclear program, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized the agreement.
“What was achieved last night in Geneva is not an historic agreement; it is an historic mistake,” he said, speaking at the start of his government’s weekly cabinet meeting. “Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world has taken a significant step toward attaining the most dangerous weapon in the world.”
According to an official statement, the deal calls for Iran to halt key parts of its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief said to be valued at approximately $7 billion dollars. The interim agreement allows Iran to retain its nuclear production line, a provision that Israel has vocally campaigned against.
Explaining his country’s position, Netanyahu said that “For the first time, the world’s leading powers have agreed to uranium enrichment in Iran while ignoring the UN Security Council decisions that they themselves led.”
Advocating for Israel’s long held position, that only increased sanctions will push Iran to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure, Netanyahu lamented the easing of sanctions against the Islamic Republic that had brought the regime to the negotiating table in the first place. “Sanctions that required many years to put in place contain the best chance for a peaceful solution. These sanctions have been given up in exchange for cosmetic Iranian concessions that can be cancelled in weeks,” he said.
“This agreement and what it means endanger many countries including, of course, Israel. Israel is not bound by this agreement,” Netanyahu stressed.
Asserting Israel’s right to self-defense, Netanyahu said “The Iranian regime is committed to the destruction of Israel and Israel has the right and the obligation to defend itself, by itself, against any threat.”
“As Prime Minister of Israel, I would like to make it clear,” he concluded, “Israel will not allow Iran to develop a military nuclear capability.”
Early Sunday, several senior Israeli ministers also criticized the deal in interviews with Israeli media.

Airbus parent EADS is sticking to plans to boycott a potential $50 billion competition to build a U.S. Air Force refueling fleet absent major changes in the way the winner would be picked.
This is not a negotiating ploy, Sean O'Keefe, chief executive of EADS' North America unit, told reporters at a briefing on Friday.
EADS has joined Northrop Grumman Corp to compete against Boeing Co for a rematch to build an initial 179 aircraft that refuel others in flight.
Northrop, which would be the team's prime contractor, said on December 1 it had concluded that a draft request for proposals (RFP) issued by the Air Force favored a smaller tanker of a type Boeing could offer based on its 767 wide-body model.
Northrop Chief Executive Ron Sugar denied the company was trying to dictate requirements for the Air Force, as some Boeing supporters have suggested, but said there should be no mistaking the team's resolve.
Nobody should make a mistake. We cannot bid based on this current RFP, Sugar told Reuters in a telephone interview.
He said there was constructive engagement on the part of the Air Force with Northrop, and its concerns, but he declined to predict if the Air Force would make sufficient changes that would allow the companies to compete after all.
Guy Hicks, an EADS North America spokesman, said: The value of added capability offered above the minimum requirement -- including greater range, fuel offload and transport capacity -- must be included and fairly weighted in the final request for proposal.
The Northrop-EADS is offering an Airbus A330-200 wide-body derivative.
The contract could be worth $25 billion to $50 billion over time, a senior U.S. military officer said in relaunching the competition September 24.
The contract is due to be awarded by the end of June.
The potential bidders met separately on Tuesday at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, with government officials weighing possible changes to draft bidding rules released in late September.
We're heartened by the discussions under way, O'Keefe said. We couldn't ask for a more thoughtful and forward-leaning response.
He said he understood the government was now aiming to release a final request for proposal in the middle of next month.
A Boeing spokesman, William Barksdale, said the Boeing team met Air Force officials for several hours to voice both observations and concerns about how tanker proposals would be judged.
We were also told our input would be shared with senior Air Force leadership as they move forward to releasing the final RFP in January 2010, Barksdale said in a blog posting.
The government is weighing comments received during the review process, said Cheryl Irwin, a Defense Department spokeswoman.
When those deliberations are complete regarding both the comments received and what RFP changes will be made, it will issue the final RFP, she said in an emailed statement.
The Northrop-EADs team won a contract to build 179 tankers for the Air Force in February 2008, only to have it scrapped after U.S. auditors upheld a Boeing protest tied to Air Force missteps in evaluating the bids.
Air Force General Duncan McNabb, head of the U.S. Transportation Command, told reporters on Wednesday that he was satisfied with the draft RFP.
From the requirements standpoint, I feel very good about it, he said. My take is that everything we need in the new tanker is reflected in the draft issued in September.
The new aircraft would replace KC-135 tankers with an average age of about 50 years.
The plan calls for delivery of the new tankers to start in 2015, with the first ones to be operational in 2017.
Two successive competitions would take place in decades to come to complete a fleet renewal expected to cost more than $100 billion for up to 600 new tankers. (Editing by Steve Orlofsky and Ted Kerr)

Telework, remote recruitment, meeting on Zoom … The pandemic has changed the world of work, to say the least.
Faced with something never seen before, companies have had to adapt their management practices. What will remain of the new ways of working put in place? What are the lessons learned during the first wave that will be used for the future?
These are the questions that the Order of CRHA (approved human resources advisers) wanted to answer by carrying out a vast consultation exercise with various players in the world of work: recruiters, employers and experts.
“We wanted to know which practices should continue and which ones require more attention,” explains Manon Poirier, Executive Director of the Ordre des CRHA. We were thus able to establish courses of action to help organizations cope with the transformation of work. ”
Even after confinement, is tele-working likely to continue for good?
Share the power
One of the first observations concerns the role of the manager. Micromanagement is over for good. To rally his troops, the boss must demonstrate confidence, promote autonomy and accountability.
“The pandemic has reinforced the importance of knowing how to delegate and lower decision-making power to the team,” explains Ms. Poirier. Managers who were able to do this were successful during the health crisis in maintaining loyalty and contact with employees. “
To be promoted to a management position, it will take more than technical skills.
“Organizations will have to be prepared to sacrifice expertise for the benefit of human skills that will be more important than ever,” she adds.
Knowing how to listen and communicate well become essential assets for managers, especially when the team works remotely.
“Telecommuting is here to stay. Companies will have to offer it to remain attractive. However, we have to reinvent the way of communicating between bosses and employees, ”explains Dominic Lévesque, group president at Randstad Canada.
“In teleworking, we lose direct contact with colleagues. There remains the email or the cat, but the response is not so instant. You have to live with the expectation, which sometimes forces you to review your priorities, ”he adds.
Remote work poses another big challenge: how to preserve the culture of the company in these new conditions?
“The conversations around the coffee machine seem futile, but that’s what holds an organization together,” says Poirier. Culture is more easily maintained when employees develop bonds. We must therefore find ways to connect people by providing, for example, virtual 5 to 7. It’s about sending the message that it’s important to talk about something other than work. ”
Psychological health more at risk
With the pandemic, the psychological health of the troops is becoming a major concern.
“The crisis has added a layer of difficulty to an already glaring situation,” says Manon Poirier. If companies can properly identify the risks associated with physical health, they must be prepared to identify those that come with the workload, the management approach and the clarity of tasks. »All elements that undermine employee motivation and morale.
“Organizations need to step up the pace of communications and have more transparent conversations on personal spheres, respecting what people want to share,” advises Poirier. These are practices to be maintained, pandemic or not. ”

text: I came across these in the summer of 2013. I love them. They are my absolute favorite chip ever since. I was never a big fan of Takis, so I gave these a try and found the chile and limon flavors perfect. I eat them with Ramen noodles as a side kick and get exciting spice. They are very affordable and have mini bags now. My dad also loves them, we are addicts. My husband and brother like them too, but cannot handle the chile. I can eat a whole bag by myself, I know crazy huh. Up until now, I am still a Dorito Dinamita lover. Plus I love the name of the chips and have not had a problem with them being stale, because I eat them in the same week I buy them. You cannot wait 1 month and then decide to open and eat them, that is a fact with any chip. Anyways, I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Frank Russo at the New York Baseball Digest blog gets some Yankee response to that story about Matt Holliday wanting to play for the Yankees:
Our main Yankees source down it Tampa informed us last night that, at this time, Yankees management has no interest in getting involved in the Matt Holliday sweepstakes. “It’s way too early,” our source told us. “Brian (Cashman) has a lot of decisions to make, especially with Matsui and Damon.”I don’t care how bad the kid wants to play for the Yanks, Scott (Boras) will be asking for the moon and they’re not going to break the bank for him.”
Which may be true. Of course they said the same kinds of things about Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez and just about every other free agent they’ve pursued in the past.
Which is really smart. The Yankees get a lot of crap for just going out and buying talent, but it’s not like they’re always out there setting the market. They often let other teams weigh in, get a range of offers out there, and then come in and offer a bit more. I think they bid against themselves with the Alex Rodriguez extension, but in all other cases, they waited everyone else out, as a smart bidder should.
I have no idea if Holliday will actually end up in New York, but if he does, it won’t be because the Yankees pursue him like some lovestruck teenager.
In a recent interview with Jon Greenberg of The Athletic, White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier took a swipe at the Reds’ front office. The rebuilding Reds traded Frazier to the White Sox as part of a three-team deal this past December.
After the season, Frazier will enter his third and final year of arbitration eligibility. Frazier told Greenberg he’d like to stay with the White Sox. He praised the club’s ownership and then, unprompted, he decided to castigate the Reds’ front office.
I would love to stay here. It’s a great club, great ownership. It was very different in Cincinnati, it wasn’t good. The bottom line here is these guys know what they’re doing. I see the guys [Hahn] gets, he’s not afraid to pull the trigger. You’ve got to have a guy like that. Whether it turns out to be for the best or not, you take a chance sometimes, and I think he’s done that a lot. It’s up to Jerry [Reinsdorf, owner] and Rick [Hahn, VP/GM] and their team to figure out what they want to do and it’s up to them.
It’s not clear if there are specific incidences to which Frazier could be alluding, but it’s a very obvious piece of criticism.
Frazier, 30, has regressed a bit offensively compared to the previous two seasons, batting .213/.295/.448 with 32 home runs and 81 RBI in 532 plate appearances. The White Sox could pursue trading him during the offseason.
Update (7:20 PM EDT): John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports that Crisp has indeed been traded, but there won’t be an official announcement until Wednesday. Crisp has already left the Athletics’ clubhouse.
Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors is reporting that the Athletics and Indians are making progress on a trade that would send outfielder Coco Crisp to Cleveland. Jon Morosi of FOX Sports confirms Adams’ report. Crisp, who has 10-and-5 rights, has waived them in order to facilitate a deal.
Crisp, 36, is owed the remainder of his $11 million salary for the 2016 season and has a $13 million option for the 2017 season that vests if he reaches 550 plate appearances or plays in 130 games this season. He has already played in 102 games and logged 434 PA, batting .234/.299/.399 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI.
The Indians are still looking to bolster the outfield. Michael Brantley is expected to miss the rest of the season, Bradley Zimmer may not yet be ready for the majors, and Abraham Almonte is not eligible to play in the postseason after testing positive for boldenone in February.

Police Information Check & RCMP Vulnerable Sector Search
All applicants admitted to the Faculty of Nursing are required to provide a current Police Information Check (also referred to as a Criminal Record Check) which must include a RCMP Vulnerable Sector Search.
In order to be considered “current”, the Police Information Check must be completed during the three months prior to admission.
- June 1 – August 31 for Fall Admission
- October 1 – December 31 for Winter Admission
- Feb 1 - April 30 for Spring Admission
The Police Information Check must be submitted electronically to the Faculty of Nursing Graduate Office, no later than one week prior to the first day of classes. Without documentation, admission to the Faculty of Nursing will be rescinded.
Students who are concerned about the presence of a criminal record should contact the police department to discuss the process for eliminating or erasing such a record.
Failure to present a clear Police Information Check may result in admission being denied/rescinded. An internal University appeal process is available to applicants who are refused admission for this reason.
Subsequent to admission and at any time during the program, a student may be required to produce a current Police Information Check, the results of which could require their withdrawal from the program, in the sole discretion of the University.
If you are charged or convicted of a criminal offense at any time during your enrollment in the program, you are required to inform the Faculty of Nursing Graduate Program Office immediately.

Conservatory buildings, which have a special role among other educational buildings, should have appropriate acoustic conditions for an effective education and teaching. Based on this view, choosing Ankara Musiki Muallim Mektebi Mamak Municipality Conservatory Building as a sample, this study analyzed parameters such as speaking rate, background noise level, suitable spatial dimensions, sound insulation values that should be met in construction components, reverberation time and speech intelligibility. In this context, Insul 6.4 simulation program was used to determine sound transmission losses of construction elements of Ankara Musiki Muallim Mektebi Mamak Municipality Conservatory Building. Environmental noise level, background noise level and sound transmission loss of construction elements were measured. The results obtained were compared to the results of the simulation program; the results were evaluated and suggestions were made for inappropriate conditions.

Hidden Folks, the latest game from indie designer Adriaan de Jongh, is the most pleasant thing I’ve done with an iPad in years.
In a sea of games screaming for my attention and my money, Hidden Folks makes demands on neither. What it does is reward me for my effort, unfolding at a decent clip while encouraging me to go deeper into the experience. It’s become a game that I look forward to spending time with each day.
I’ve been dealing with some awful stuff here for the last couple of days, both inside and outside of work. I have a feeling many of you are in the same boat. The last thing I want to do with my down time is fight with someone, either in a game or on social media. I’ve been trying lots of new experiences, and returning to old favorites. But everything just feels like such an unwanted mental load.
So when de Jongh offered me an early code for Hidden Things, I jumped at the chance.
I’d first heard about the game at last year’s Game Developers Conference. De Jongh described it as a kind of hidden object game, and then he sat me down at a table on the top floor of the Moscone Center and just let me mess around with it. A smile immediately came to my face.
Working from the unusually detailed ink and paper style of a young artist named Sylvain Tegroeg, Hidden Folks feels like the animated Where’s Waldo? book you never knew you wanted. Yes, it’s a hidden object game and that makes it sound like it was made for kids, but in motion it’s perfectly engaging for adults. It feels more like an ant farm mixed with a light adventure game.
Players hunt across massive drawings, zooming in and out hunting for characters or items from a list with both their eyes and their ears. As the game progresses the environments become more interactive. Open a tent flap, roll a hay bale or move a car out of the way to trigger the little Easter egg and find the thing. Little puzzles reveal themselves around every corner.
As a rewards, players are greeted with the most adorable, human sounds. It’s like de Jongh is there whispering in your ear while you play.
“The first time I used my voice to add sounds to anything were on some simple experimental videos my girlfriend had made,” de Jongh told me via email. “She filmed a bunch of trees and I added my voice to them. It was tremendously silly and we laughed really hard at it.
“During a global game jam with a bunch of friends, I decided to do the sound design with my voice, and accidentally won the Best Audio Award. ... This was around the time Sylvain and I started adding more basic features to the game, and I borrowed some of the sounds I had recorded in that game jam for Hidden Folks. I thought it was kind of funny. Sylvain thought so to, and we decided to stick to it!”
Someone smashing “boop boop de doop” into your ear hole for any period of time should be grating. It should drive you nuts. But in Hidden Folks, it’s perhaps the most pleasant feature of all. The timing and the intonation are perfect. I guess if you enjoy ASMR you’ve got a new favorite obsession here. But for the rest of us, it’s just a joyful noise.
My only hope is that de Jongh and Tegroeg are quick about making more levels to explore. I’m pacing myself right now, sipping rather than gulping the experience down.
