Sunset, beach house, Corona with a wedge of lime. I met her on the boardwalk; the air was thick with sea salt and sunscreen and the excitement of a brand-new girlfriend. Sidewalk cafe, chips & salsa, her brown eyes grinned at me from behind tortoise-shell Ray-Bans. I rode her home on the handlebars of my beautifully restored Schwinn--a five-speed, fire-engine-red cruiser with the ding-dong bell, the springer front end, and the Atom drum brakes, front and rear if we'd wanted to stop. We never did. Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong.

Disclaimer: I received this book for free from the publisher Harper Collins in exchange for an honest review. However, this fact does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
The first book in a provocative new series from acclaimed author Donna Freitas—Feed for a new generation.
Humanity is split into the App World and the Real World—an extravagant virtual world for the wealthy and a dying physical world for the poor. Years ago, Skylar Cruz’s family sent her to the App World for a chance at a better life.
Now Skye is a nobody, a virtual sixteen-year-old girl without any glamorous effects or expensive downloads to make her stand out in the App World. Yet none of that matters to Skye. All she wants is a chance to unplug and see her mother and sister again.
But when the borders between worlds suddenly close, Skye loses that chance. Desperate to reach her family, Skye risks everything to get back to the physical world. Once she arrives, however, she discovers a much larger, darker reality than the one she remembers.
In the tradition of M. T. Anderson’s Feed and Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies, Unplugged kicks off a thrilling and timely sci-fi series for teens from an award-winning writer.
I requested this book from the publisher because I read and enjoyed the author’s other novel The Survival Kit . Unplugged is very different though since it’s not a contemporary, but a dystopian / sci-fi novel.
Skylar was a likable character and I really sympathized with her because she felt alone in the App World since she missed her real family. I liked that she was brave enough to leave the App World even though it was very risky and dangerous. And Skylar continues to be brave throughout the book and to do the right thing, and that’s why I admired her.
Skylar’s love interest was okay, but I felt that there were still a lot of things about him that we don’t know and I just hope that we’ll get to know him better in the sequel.
The world building is a little complex because of these two different worlds, but I really found the idea of the App World intriguing and I wanted to find out more about its emergence.
The plot was suspenseful and there were definitely some interesting twists and turns, as well as an ending that leaves you wanting more, but I still felt that the story wasn’t really unique. Nor was it addicting. Or maybe it’s just me, maybe I just read too many dystopian / sci-fi novels and suffer from dystopia / sci-fi fatique, who knows? All I know is that Unplugged couldn’t fascinate me 100%.
Still, it was entertaining and suspenseful, and it really made me curious about the sequel.
So if you’re a die – hard dystopian / sci-fi fan I totally recommend this book to you because it deals with a very interesting topic and makes you think about certain matters.
3 out of 5 stars
Note: I would like to thank Harper Collins for sending me this book for review!

Catalini’s Salerno Beach Restaurant
Best of Tin Pan Alley, August 2008
Live music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries is an elusive animal in a city of rock and roll. Yet Gershwin romantics can still swoon tableside to renditions of their old favorites at Catalini’s Salerno Beach Restaurant on Sunday evenings. For six years Grammy-winning ukulele player and music historian Ian Whitcomb has entertained shaggy hipsters, blond bikers, and blue-haired swingers tucking into fettuccine and meatballs. The concert unfolds beneath a mural of the Bay of Naples as Chianti toasts are made to “Give My Regards to Broadway.” Whitcomb is backed by the Bungalow Boys, who play resonator guitar and upright bass.

Thursday, I read Superman #6 and felt something I hadn't felt in a Superman comic in a very long time: Superman.
As I put the book down, I realized something, I was smiling and then, I picked it up again and read it. It was better the second time around. It went deep into my heart. It had symbolism. It had heart. It had family. It had Superman.
Everything that has made Superman, Superman could be found in this issue. It had hope. It gave a glimpse into the future while giving us the best of the past.
There it all was: Superman rallying the souls of Krypton to simply do what's right. Not just to save his son and wife, Lois but to fight against The Eradicator's singular eugenics.
In a bit of writing brilliance, Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason present Superman to us through his son's eyes. We get to see Superman through the truest of eyes: the eyes of a child. As a kid, there wasn't a battle I didn't believe Superman couldn't win and with issue six, Jon Kent is us.
In an effort to defeat The Eradicator, Superman calls to one of his greatest allies and the minute he sprung into the page, I just... just... man. It's good to have him back and most likely as a faithful companion to the newest addition to the Superman family.
Maybe my favorite thing was seeing Lois Lane be amazing all over again. In the previous issue, to save her son, she donned the suit of armor Batman wore to face the fires of Darkseid's homeworld of Apokolips in order to save his son, Damian. That was deep. In that moment, her love for her family was shown as fierce as any in the DC Universe.
The final pages of this comic end with the corniest but most necessary of moments; Superman being presented with the Key to The City of Metropolis as Jon and Lois look on from afar. *sigh*
And on the final page, Superman presents his greatest creation to the two people, outside of family, who matter most. With a small "Hi," from the new Superboy and new Trinity assembled, Superman's Rebirth era, became something I went into wholeheartedly.
He is, again, a man who is sure.
He is here to stay.

Between a pretty successful DC: Rebirth, from-what-I've seen decent looks at the upcoming Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad flicks and now, Justice League Action featuring the returns of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill to Warner Animation, are we seeing a return to glory for DC Comics?
Watch the trailer.
Swamp Thing. Plastic Man and Space Cabbie.

If there's anything more quintessentially Black Manta than the picture below, I don't want to know about it.
Costumed. Blowing things up. Running away from said thing he just blew up.
You know there's a smile going on under that helmet. You just know it.
Black Manta, starting sh*t...
This me looking forward to Aquaman: Rebirth #1 by writer Dan Abnett and artist Brad Walker.
Friday, May 27, 2016
|Jose Luis Garcia Lopez would be proud.|
Well... DC: Rebirth, the comic I'd been waiting for nearly five years was read and you know what?
I didn't know just how much I missed these characters.
Just so much to take in but my greatest takeaway is that hope has returned to The DC Universe.
Legacy has returned. Heck, even the term, "DC Universe" is back in use again!
I smiled wide at the return of Ted Kord. I missed his stupid grin.
I laughed my ass off as writer Geoff Johns exploded his sensational character find of who-gives-a-crap, Pandora.
I was heartened by the vast numbers of youthful legacy characters gently easing themselves back into the fray.
The Batman dealing with the revelation that his greatest enemy may have pulled the greatest long con of all time. Explains a lot and a little bit of brilliance.
I gasped as Johnny Thunder is still causing trouble in this DC Universe.
I gasped as I saw Johnny Thunder in this DC Universe. There will be a Justice Society of America again.
In DC: Rebirth, we saw love return to DC Comics. Ray Palmer is still in love with a crazy person but the heart still wants what it wants. Black Canary and Green Arrow. It is a thing again and I'm looking forward to seeing them see each other again with new eyes.
Thank God, The Hawks were left out. They need a lot of fixing and Rebirth just ain't the place for that.
And Wally West. Yeah.
He's back. The Flash of a generation is back and I genuinely got a bit choked up as he accepted his fate in returning to limbo. I caught myself smiling when the one person he needed the most to remember him drew him back into being. Was just a very sweet, long-awaited moment.
New life and love he has to earn all over again. A fresh start worthy of a Scarlet Speedster.
All of this and nothing brought me more joy than the shorthand of showing a ring from the future and the hope it brings to the present.
And that ending... many will debate its merits but its the rare circumstance where you can point to one thing that changed so much. I'm looking forward to where The DC Universe is headed.
I haven't thought that, much less said that, in nearly five years.

Week One saw quite a few Power 5 FBS teams celebrate wins against powerful FCS teams as if they had won a bowl game. Only one FCS program, Central Arkansas, managed to knock off an FBS opponent: for the second straight year, Western Kentucky was defeated by an FCS program.
The best of the Missouri Valley scared the pants off of Power 5 schools Iowa State, Kansas and Minnesota. The Cyclones required triple overtime to knock out UNI 29-26, the Sycamores gave the Jayhawks all they could handle before a late TD gave Kansas a 24-17 victory.and the Golden Gophers were taken to the limit by South Dakota State, scoring very late then holding off a late Jackrabbit surge to secure a 28-21 victory.
Wagner of the NEC had UConn on the ropes as well before falling 24-21, Portland State gave Arkansas everything they could handle in a narrow 20-13 defeat, and perhaps the biggest shock of all, Houston Baptist, who has one Division I win in the last two years, came within a whisker of a massive upset of UTEP, ultimately falling 36-34.
Only Central Arkansas managed to finish off their FBS opponent, beating Western Kentucky 35-28 in Bowling Green, KY.
Additionally, two marquee FCS matchups also provided thrilling endings. North Carolina A&T’s 52 yard FG as time expired cemented a thrilling 24-21 win over Elon, and Montana surged to a 31-17 win over their hosts, South Dakota thanks to a late touchdown from QB Dalton Sneed to RB Marcus Knight.
Finally, there were two FCS Top 25 upsets that caused voters to scramble their rankings this week. South Carolina State upset Wofford 26-13, in a game led wire to wire by the Bulldogs, and Southeastern Louisiana dominated Jacksonville State 35-14 in one of the more shocking upsets of Thursday.
Below are some video highlights of these games. And the scores have a gap recap link.
1. Southeastern Louisiana 35 Jacksonville State 14 (Hammond, LA)
2. Iowa State 29 UNI 26, 3OT (Ames, IA)
3. North Carolina A&T 24 Elon 21 (Elon, NC)
4. Central Arkansas 35 Western Kentucky 28 (Bowling Green, KY)

Literature review - Wikipedia, Literature review on pressure sores
Literature review on pressure sores
A literature review may be a stand alone work or the introduction to a larger research paper, depending on the assignment. Rely heavily on the guidelines your instructor has given you.
If you are writing an annotated bibliography , you may need to summarize each item briefly, but should still follow through themes and concepts and do some critical assessment of material. Use an overall introduction and conclusion to state the scope of your coverage and to formulate the question, problem, or concept your chosen material illuminates. Usually you will have the option of grouping items into sections—this helps you indicate comparisons and relationships. You may be able to write a paragraph or so to introduce the focus of each section
Literature reviews are often published as scholarly articles, books, and reports. Here is an example of a recent literature review published as a scholarly journal article:
The study was conducted at Parisons Roller Flour Mills Private Limited with an attempt to analyses working capital management.... ...
As part of their research program, many students are instructed to perform a literature review, without always understanding what a literature review is.
What is a literature review? What purpose does it serve in research? What should you expect when writing one? Find out here
I am happy to meet with if you have any questions or need additional guidance or help. This is a great way to get in-depth research assistance on locating articles, evaluating information, selecting a research subject, citation construction, and more. You can reach me via email to set up an appointment at ikorber@ , or email any questions you may have.
When readers come to your assignment, dissertation, or thesis, they will not just assume that your research or analysis is a good idea; they will want to be persuaded that it is relevant and that it was worth doing. They will ask questions such as:
By reviewing other literature in your subject area, you can see what did and didn’t work for other researchers. It also allows you to demonstrate that you have a good understanding of the key published work in the field.

These guidelines are adapted primarily from Galvan (2006). Galvan outlines a very clear, step-by-step approach that is very useful to use as you write your review. I have integrated some other tips within this guide, particularly in suggesting different technology tools that you might want to consider in helping you organize your review. In the sections from Step 6-9 what I have included is the outline of those steps exactly as described by Galvan. I also provide links at the end of this guide to resources that you should use in order to search the literature and as you write your review.
It is always invaluable to read the literature reviews in other theses. These will provide possible structural models for your own literature review. The UNSW library now has many theses available on-line, so it is easy to locate examples of current theses in your area of research. Check out the UNSW library website for the Australian Digital Thesis program . Another useful strategy is to examine how literature reviews are undertaken in journal articles, although these are generally much shorter.
Shields and Rangarajan (2013) distinguish between the process of reviewing the literature and a finished work or product known as a literature review.  : 193–229 The process of reviewing the literature is often ongoing and informs many aspects of the empirical research project. All of the latest literature should inform a research project . Scholars need to be scanning the literature long after a formal literature review product appears to be completed.
Literature can be classified according to whether it is fiction or non-fiction , and whether it is poetry or prose . It can be further distinguished according to major forms such as the novel , short story or drama ; and works are often categorized according to historical periods or their adherence to certain aesthetic features or expectations ( genre ).
There are also external sites that anyone looking for relevant references on Fukushima and the Higashi Nihon Dai Shinsai may want to consult:
As Colin Combe points out, "The term literature review can be applied to both the process of reviewing the literature, as well as the label given to the output of such a process—the 'literature review' chapter(s) or section(s) in a document such as coursework, project, dissertation, or thesis" ( Introduction to Management , 2014).

HONG KONG — Asia Allied Infrastructure Holdings Limited and Top Spring International Holdings Limited are pleased to jointly announce that the two entities are entering into a long-term collaboration to develop property business in Hong Kong, with the first kick-off project being a low-density premium residential property project (the “Project”) located at Waterloo Road in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.
Riding on AAI’s experience in property development, construction and project management in Hong Kong, and Top Spring’s diverse capabilities in developing residential and premium property projects across the PRC, the collaboration will seek to capture the lucrative opportunities associated with the Hong Kong property market in the coming years.
Mr. Dominic Pang, Chairman of AAI, said, “We believe the collaboration with Top Spring will advance AAI’s expansion in the Hong Kong property market. Given the positive market sentiments and consistently high local demand, we are confident that the Waterloo Road project will serve as a good starting point of our collaboration.”
Mr. Wong Chun Hong, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Top Spring, said, “We are excited to be cooperating with AAI on the Waterloo Road premium residential project, and we will be looking forward to more collaborations in future riding on the experience and expertise of both sides.”
Banking facilities of approximately HK$935 million has been granted to the joint venture company running the Project, demonstrating the banking community’s support to AAI and Top Spring. The funds will be used mainly for relevant development works related to the Project.
Asia Allied Infrastructure Holdings Limited (“AAI”) is listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under stock code 00711. It is engaged in various businesses including construction engineering and management, project consultancy, property development, security services and property management, tunnel management, safe deposit box services, construction finance and investment, online procurement of construction materials, etc.
With Hong Kong as its business development base, AAI is also exploring development opportunities with Asia as the main focus, as well as in overseas markets. Its subsidiary “Chun Wo” is a renowned construction contractor and property developer in Hong Kong, which enables AAI to capitalise on that company’s solid construction experience and professional capabilities to seize the opportunities for infrastructure development in countries along the “Belt and Road” initiative, and, ultimately, to increase overall profitability and create higher investment value.

Some critics from both sides of the aisle have warned that the recent Supreme Court decision overturning California's Prop 8 sets a bad precedent, contradicting the will of the people in the results of a state ballot initiative in favor of the opinion of unelected judges. The Washington Times reports that some worry that the decision effectively gives state officials the unchecked power to nullify ballot initiatives they dislike by refusing to enforce them or defend them in court.
“I think regardless of what anybody thinks about same-sex marriage, everyone who cares about democracy should be concerned about this decision,” said John Matsusaka, president of the Initiative and Referendum Institute at the University of Southern California. “It’s fundamentally undemocratic.”
The national revolt against higher taxes arguably began with a California citizen initiative: Howard Jarvis‘ Proposition 13 in 1978. Over the years, the state’s voters have weighed in on such hot-button issues as term limits, bilingual education, affirmative action, medical marijuana, punishment for crimes, government debt and, in 2008, same-sex marriage.
But the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., essentially held that those who draft, finance and campaign for the initiatives can’t get into the courtroom to defend their handiwork.
“We have never before upheld the standing of a private party to defend the constitutionality of a state statute when state officials have chosen not to,” Chief Justice Roberts said in the majority opinion. “We decline to do so for the first time here.”
Beyond social issues, "Wilkow!" was joined Tuesday by Ryan Anderson of the Heritage Foundation to discuss what the court ruling on Proposition 8 means for democracy.

Kyiv -Washington: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he was satisfied with the results of the meetings held in the White House of the United States.
"The agenda of the meetings in the White House is very wide: I am pleased with the results of the talks and I am grateful to our partners for supporting Ukraine," the president said.
According to White House press secretary Shaun Spicer, June 20, Peter Poroshenko met with US President Donald Trump.
Also on Tuesday, during his official visit to the US, Poroshenko met with US Energy Secretary Rick Perry.
Tonight, June 20, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko arrived in the United States on a working visit. It was confirmed that the head of state will meet with US Vice President Mike Pence.


Reinhart reviews county projects
The Auglaize County commissioners spent much of Tuesday afternoon checking out several county projects with Auglaize County Engineer Doug Reinhart.
Reinhart showed the commissioners four projects in various stages of development and provided updates to the commissioners as they traveled along to get a visual understanding as the projects are completed.
“Sometimes its easier for them to take a look at the projects and see what is going on,” Reinhart said.
An access point will be built across a creek near the Neil Armstrong Airport at New Knoxville to allow access to agricultural land by a farmer living on land adjacent to the airport.
An existing bridge has deteriorated to the point where it no longer can be used, Reinhart said. Instead, a drive-thru access lane will be built through the creek, which should be easier to maintain.
Abutments are currently being built on the east side of K.C. Geiger Park in St. Marys to provide better access to a recently constructed soccer field at the park.
Currently, the only access to the field is through residential areas. St. Marys city officials plan to put a 50-foot steel walking bridge across the canal to provide access to the field.
“We are putting steel piling 22- to 24 foot deep into the ground and a concrete cap,” Reinhart said of the abutments. “The city plans to put a pre-manufactured steel bridge connecting the park across the canal.”
A concrete bridge across St. Marys-Kossuth Road will be replaced and elevated.
Reinhart said the bridge was built in 1979 and is frequently closed in bad weather due to flooding.
He said the road will be elevated by approximately a foot.
“We have to close that road three or four times a year because of flooding,” Reinhart said. “We will replace the deck and reconstruct the roadway. It should help in lowering how often we have to close it due to the flooding.”
The projected is estimated to cost $85,000.
The commissioners also viewed a recently completed reconstruction of a tile and grass waterway at the Haruff Ditch project north of Uniopolis.
The tile, which was installed originally in 1903, collapsed and was causing flooding problems in the area. Area residential and agricultural land owners were assessed the cost for the $50,000 project. The tile drains approximately 350 acres.

3rd wave feminism not progressive
Is it normal I feel like the type of feminism we see nowadays is really no different than the systems it claims to be against.
The claims made are so emotional and over the top, and the view of men is so automaticly powerful in their theories of patriarchy.
Is this not a classic example of women bitching irrationally and men not taking it seriously. Then the woman calms down and that's the end of it.
I fail to see how there is any difference here. I don't think most feminists want society to change, they just want to complain and want to be listened to but simultaneously don't actually want their actions to have consequence.
They make sure everyone knows patriarchy is so powerful that at the end of the day their actions are more or less futile, which begs the question, why even participate in activism if not to blow off steam like I just illustrated.
It is analogous to someone sexually submissive begging to not be spanked but of course loving that they are not in control.
If you want to test my theory, try to actually reason with a feminist, and everything falls apart. They just want to yell at you and for their words to ultimately mean nothing.

People of Concern
Working environmentIndia remains an important stakeholder on global issues such as climate change, urbanization and innovation and is an important ally for neighboring countries and ASEAN states for supporting socio-economic development programmes and strengthening collaboration on national security.
While India endorsed UNHCR’s Global Compact for Refugees (GCR), the protection environment facing people of concern to UNHCR is expected to remain quite restricted in 2020. Refugees can be expected to continue receiving exit orders, be at risk of detention and face return to their countries of origin. Opportunities to achieve self-reliance and economic inclusion for people of concern will remain limited. In order to address these challenges, UNHCR has more actively engaged with the Resident Coordinator and UN Country Team and seeks innovative means to provide livelihood opportunities to people of concern by connecting them with entrepreneurship programmes and social enterprises.
Key prioritiesUNHCR will pursue improved collaboration with the Government of India through multiple channels including high level missions to India, dialogue at the central and state levels, and advocacy with the Resident Coordinator and UN Country Team. UNHCR’s regionalization and decentralization process will contribute to more efficient coordination and response on the ground.
UNHCR will also work with civil society, academia, think tanks, and the private sector, using the “whole of society approach” as outlined in the GCR. Building upon the progress made in 2018 to actively engage in the UN Sustainable Development Framework process, UNHCR will ensure inclusion of refugees into existing national systems linking refugees with the SDGs.
As constraints to refugee protection and resilience are expected to continue in 2020, UNHCR will need to provide a safety net through cash-based interventions to a larger number of vulnerable people while expanding opportunities to build self-reliance.

COVID-19 restrictions have challenged manufacturing worldwide. To stay competitive, companies must adapt to new technologies and strategies to survive in the post-COVID world.
What’s covered in this article:
Supply chain adaptations for success
Retailer success story: Zara
Within the last year, manufacturers have had to cope with supply chain disruptions and the shutdown of factories due to restrictions caused by COVID-19. Companies with agile supply chains have handled the market fluctuations better than others. Manufacturers adapted to the technologies of Industry 4.0, and with suppliers nearby, could handle demand and high shipping rates more efficiently.
Returning to a pre-COVID situation is not very probable due to shifted consumption patterns and the increasing demand in e-commerce. Manufacturers must ask themselves how they can maintain their business after the crisis ends and successfully adjust to the new situation.
COVID-19 — Impacts And Challenges For The Manufacturer
When COVID-19 struck in the first quarter of last year, virtually every global industry witnessed a seismic impact. With mandatory closures ordered for production plants, manufacturers had to adapt quickly to a new reality.
At the beginning of the crisis, China was the most affected manufacturing hub worldwide. An immediate supply chain disruption resulted from closed facilities and a higher demand than production could handle. Like many major companies with manufacturing facilities in China, receding supplies of components and commodities forced the U.S. and European companies to decrease or even stop production. This situation affected sectors such as the automotive industry, medical supplies, and electronics.
Increasing lead times, costs, and delays resulted in significant problems together with port congestion, capacity availability, and container shortage.
While China recovered its economy fast, a shifted consumption pattern to e-commerce presented new challenges to the industry. An ever-increasing B2C model of e-commerce delivery and spiking imports from China to restock inventories quickly led to a freight capacity shortage. This resulted in surging rates across all modalities. As the demand increased over the last months, supply chain disruption became a more significant issue that manufacturers had to address. Increasing lead times, costs, and delays resulted in significant problems together with port congestion, capacity availability, and container shortage.
Most manufacturers attempted to maintain production levels and anticipate returning to the “old normal”. The increased costs for seeking alternative suppliers or higher shipping costs were often reflected in the price passed along to the customers.
Manufacturers are forced to adapt to the new reality of a volatile market
Over a year into the pandemic, the continuing global uncertainty proves that a return to pre-Covid times seems unlikely. Manufacturers are forced to adapt to the new reality of a volatile market. The survival of companies would now be linked to how well they can adapt their production lines to suit evolving demand.
How Industry 4.0 Can Impact Your Business
As the impact of Covid-19 continues to wane, more profound and complex issues have come to light. Growing concerns of the post-pandemic situation became noticeable with the volatility of the market. Being a crucial part of the supply chain, manufacturers need to address fluctuations and uncertainty through digitalization. According to a survey from McKinsey, 39% of industry leaders are enhancing industry 4.0 technologies by implementing a control tower approach to increase end-to-end visibility within their supply chain.
Automation, advanced manufacturing technologies, and data digitization are cornerstones to optimize internal business operations to increase time and cost-efficiency. However, gaining visibility within the supply chain allows for predictive planning and the flexibility to respond to the volatile market.
2. Dynamic Management
Traditional forecasting relies on statistical tools and a divided team, addressing demand forecasting, production planning, and sales and operation planning separately. COVID-19 forced the industry to end traditional workflows, as reliable production management can now only work dynamically using AI, machine learning, and data streamlining.
3. Advanced Technology
Incorporating modern technologies allows manufacturers to enhance the entire value chain and react to changing demands and customer needs through advanced analytical tools and real-time data.
Zara As An Inspiration — Post-Pandemic Future For Manufactures
One of the most resilient companies within the crisis was the fashion retailer Zara. Zara’s highly responsive supply chain is the main reason for its business success. Even during the pandemic, Zara withstood supply chain disruption while many of its competitors were hit strongly by the crises. Pablo Isla, the chairman of Zara’s parent company Inditex, explained that the company’s proximity sourcing, and a highly optimized supply chain handled the crisis successfully.
Zara carries 11,000 different items to thousands of its stores worldwide. The center point of the company is the so-called “Cube,” a highly automated distribution center from where all operations are managed. The strategic positioning of the stores close to town centers and short production runs has resulted in lesser excess of inventory. The company stipulates inventory turns 12 times a year and order placement twice a week, resulting in shorter order cycles that enables a very accurate forecast.
Zara’s upstream and downstream operations are highly optimized and efficient. The company purchases raw material from suppliers in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. They are transported by trucks, ensuring that they contain the effects of supply chain disruption at the onset of the crisis. Zara’s agile supply chain relies on trucking and air freight, while compensating their shipping rates by waiving off the high costs for advertisement.
Optimizing business operations and adapting to an unstable market situation is possible through digitalization and clever sourcing processes.
Zara makes it clear that optimizing business operations and adapting to an unstable market situation is possible through digitalization and clever sourcing processes. Visibility and transparency are crucial when it comes to forecasting demand and meeting customers’ expectations. To stay competitive in the post-pandemic world, manufacturers will need to adapt to these new requirements, review suppliers and proximity sourcing and reconsider internal and external business operations and practices. 3PL providers such as BlueGrace can help manufacturers to gain more visibility within their supply chain, streamlining and analyzing data to keep up in a very competitive market.

With all the hype about your infant's microbiome (the crew of bacteria hanging out in your baby's body), imagine a pacifier that delivers both pre and probiotics with each and every suck? Imagine no longer, PPP™ is here!
- Unique, patented "never drop" function*
- Now Cleaning Dummies is Not Advised (ncDNA) thanks to our Bioclens flora technology™, making sterilising a thing of the past. The pacifier doesn't even need soap! A rinse is all that's needed to keep the PPP™ at its best.
- 9 out of 10 mothers said their baby preferred PPP ™, even if they refused all other dummies on the market.
- Suitable from birth through to weaning for both breast and bottle fed infants.
*Never drop function means the PPP™ will never drop away from the owner's body. No throwing it out of the pram, crawling under the cot trying to find it at 2 am
And if that wasn't enough. THERE'S MORE!!!
The PPP is CLINICALLY PROVEN to assist in the development of your baby's jaw and teeth! Reduce risks of malocclusion (misalignment of the two dental arches when they approach each other as the jaws close), teeth crowding and decay.
Why does my baby need bacteria from their binky anyway?
"Beginning at birth, the microbes in the gut perform essential duties related to the digestion and metabolism of food, the development and activation of the immune system, and the production of neurotransmitters that affect behavior and cognitive function."What that actually means is the bacteria perform an essential job when it comes to digesting and absorbing food, how the immune system develops and how well it responds.
These bacteria can even affect how you act and how you think, act and feel, a "Collective unconscious" - your bacteria communicate directly with your brain.
Studies also warn we may be short changing our baby's biome increasing risks of asthma and allergies.
PPP™ brings not only the big guns of good bacteria to the party (probiotics), it brings their favourite snacks (prebiotics). Helping your baby's biome to thrive like a newly seeded garden in spring.
Many probiotics you buy have a few strains, some have ten or eleven. The PPP™ responds to your baby's environment and has been found to deliver up to SEVEN HUNDRED different bacterial species.
However you feed your baby, PPP™ is suitable. Offer after a breastfeed to help your baby nod off, or whilst preparing a bottle to calm your baby - a godsend at 3am!
Look down and you'll find your complimentary pair.

|Statement by Commissioner Elizabeth|
Introductory Statement for Elizabeth Prodromou
USCIRF/Wilson Center Event on Turkey
February 26, 2007
Thank you, Felice. As Felice mentioned, a delegation of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom traveled to Turkey in November 2006, visiting Ankara and Istanbul. The delegation consisted of Felice Gaer, myself, and three other Commissioners. The Commission met with Turkish government officials from the Foreign Ministry, the Diyanet, or Religious Affairs Directorate, including Mr. Ali Bardakoğlu, the head of the Diyanet, the General Directorate for Foundations or Vakiflar, and the Ministry of Education, as well as several members of Turkey's Parliament and others representing a variety of political parties. In addition to meeting with representatives from a wide range of Turkey's religious communities, the delegation also met with academics, journalists, legal advocates, members of the business community, and representatives of human rights organizations.
The overall purpose of the visit was to learn more about conditions of religious freedom and related human rights in Turkey. As the Commission has not heretofore reported on Turkey, the trip was a fact-finding visit that enabled the Commission to examine religious freedom conditions as well as learn more about the relationship between religion and the state and the ways in which religious freedom is protected and respected in Turkey. During its meetings, the Commission also looked into the wider issues that affect religious freedom, including the country's policy of secularism, Turkish politics and political development, law, history, nationalism, and the European Union accession project, among other topics.
The Commission went to Turkey in part to gain more information about reports of a number of religious freedom problems that currently exist in Turkey, both for the majority Muslim community as well as for all of the religious minorities, including the Lausanne minorities (Greek Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, and Jews) as well as Alevis, Protestant Christians, and others. With regard to Muslims, we had heard about restraints on their ability to manifest their religious beliefs in public spaces; for religious minority communities, we had heard about state actions that effectively prevent them from maintaining themselves, denying them the right to own property as a community; to sell and transfer property; to maintain that property; and to train religious clergy. We heard about domestic debates regarding the legal and educational reform measures necessary to address these limitations, and we also had heard about the ways in which the legislative reform packages generated by the EU accession project have addressed some of these concerns, with varying degrees of success.
During the Commission's visit to Turkey,
we met with representatives of TESEV to hear
When we met with Mr. Paker in Turkey, we discussed then the possibility of continuing our conversation during his impending visit to Washington. We also though it would be useful to us-and to others in Washington's policy and academic communities-to offer Mr. Paker and his organization an opportunity to more fully present and discuss their poll findings. I should say at this point that, as a U.S. government agency, the Commission in no way endorses TESEV's findings or conclusions, but rather, we view this information-and our discussion here today-as useful in providing the necessary context for us as we formulate our own findings and conclusions from our visit.
Since our visit to Turkey, two events in particular have occurred that should be mentioned. In December 2006, the EU decided to slow or suspend a number of its "chapters" of negotiations with Turkey on its membership bid, leaving a question mark on the EU accession process-and on the future of Turkey's democratic reform project. In February 2007, Hrant Dink, a noted and respected Turkish journalist of Armenian descent who I'm sure was a friend to many in this room, was murdered outside his office by a Turkish nationalist, bringing to the forefront the critical problem Turkey still faces in coping with nationalist extremism in its midst. Both of these developments play a role in shaping the context of our discussion of these issues.
I will not turn the floor over to the moderator of today's event, Dr. Henri Barkey...

(Bloomberg Businessweek) -- Last year Surbhi Verma quit her investment banking job in Mumbai, moved to Silicon Valley, and started a master’s in finance program at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business. She thought the degree would help her land a prestigious job with a good salary in the U.S.
That isn’t proving to be the case. “The first question recruiters ask you, without asking for your credentials, is, ‘Do you need visa sponsorship?’ ” says Verma. “And the moment you say ‘yes,’ you can immediately see that they’re not interested. It’s demoralizing.”
It’s long been hard for foreign talent like Verma to get work visas in the U.S. But since Donald Trump took office last year, his administration has made it even harder, and the anti-immigrant rhetoric coming from the president and his supporters is prompting prospective students to think twice about applying to U.S. business schools. That’s put B-schools across the country, from MIT Sloan School of Management, No. 4 on Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2018 ranking, to SCU-Leavey, not ranked, in a tough spot.
Edwin Koc, research director at the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), says that beyond communicating openly with international students, “there really isn’t much schools can do. The administration’s tone has made students fearful.”
Many B-schools are warning prospective students about the difficulty of landing a job in the U.S. and suggesting employment alternatives when they arrive on campus. Columbia Business School, ranked No. 7, brings an immigration attorney to campus each semester to address what Michael De Lucia, director of the school’s International & MS Career Management Office, calls “rumors and uncertainty.” In addition to the career workshops the school has long organized for international students, Columbia this spring started bringing Canadian officials to its New York City campus to explain the country’s express entry program for skilled workers.
Susan Brennan, an assistant dean who oversees the career development office at Sloan, says work visas have become “a burning issue at the most senior level” of many schools. She’s been meeting with dozens of executives and recruiters to learn whether the government’s policies are dissuading them from hiring foreign Sloan graduates. “There’s a sense it may take longer, but they’re staying the course,” she says of employers. Only 47 percent of U.S. companies plan or are willing to hire international graduates of B-schools this year, down from 55 percent last year, according to a survey of nearly 1,100 employers released in June by the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers business school entrance exams.
Nicole Hu, a master of finance student at Sloan, expected to return to Hong Kong after graduation because of stricter immigration policies. Then, in August, a major bank in New York offered her a job, which she plans to start in February. Hu is making backup plans, because once her student visa runs out, her employer will need to apply for a temporary work visa in the government’s lottery system. “It’s whether your stars align,” says Hu.
International applications dropped about 11 percent in 2018 at 400 U.S. graduate business programs, according to a GMAC survey released in October. Among prospective students who prefer full-time MBA programs and plan to apply internationally, 47 percent prefer the U.S. as a study destination, down from 56 percent in 2016, according to a separate GMAC survey of almost 9,500 students.
Impeding international talent is bad for B-schools’ economics because many depend on foreign students, who often pay full tuition. Schools that lack the global brand of a Harvard Business School, No. 3, for example, are “somewhat more exposed,” says Sangeet Chowfla, president and CEO of the GMAC. “They’re having more difficulty getting quality applications, forcing them to make some uncomfortable choices about not filling the classroom or lowering their admission standards.” B-school deans also worry the perception that the U.S. doesn’t want foreign students will reduce classroom diversity, Chowfla says, making the schools less appealing to some students and recruiters.
Some B-schools, particularly those outside urban areas, are experiencing significant declines in foreign enrollment, says Caryn Beck-Dudley, Leavey’s dean and board chair of the accrediting group AACSB International. One reason: Prospective students are concerned about their personal safety, says Chowfla, a troubling trend reflected in GMAC surveys. Leavey is considering sending staffers overseas to reassure foreign students.
Safety concerns aren’t misplaced, says Dana Bucin, an immigration lawyer who’s spoken to hundreds of students at Columbia and other schools. “The environment for all immigrants, including and especially foreign students, has gotten much tougher,” she says. Not because the laws have changed, but because the Trump administration is enforcing old laws more harshly and creating new policies, Bucin says. The government is increasing processing times and adding requests for more documentation, she adds.
In an email, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Michael Bars said: “USCIS will continue adjudicating all petitions, applications and requests fairly, efficiently, and effectively on a case-by-case basis to determine if they meet all standards required under applicable law, policies, and regulations.”
In August, more than 50 executives from such U.S. companies as Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and JPMorgan Chase signed a letter to the Department of Homeland Security from the advocacy group Business Roundtable, arguing recent USCIS policies are “unfair and discourage talented and highly skilled individuals from pursuing career opportunities in the United States.” This harms American competitiveness, it said.
Making it harder for foreigners to work in the U.S. doesn’t help American workers, says Koc, NACE’s research director. “If the best talent is international, employers are going to find a way to access that talent,” he says. If new hires end up working out of a company’s office in Toronto instead of Pittsburgh, for example, the U.S. economy “loses all the multiplier effects,” from support positions to taxes paid.
Verma is considering relocating from Silicon Valley to another country that’s more welcoming or returning to India. To work temporarily in the U.S., she would need a job offer within three months after she graduates in December. Her employer would then need to apply for one of a limited number of temporary work visas, among other steps. Verma doesn’t like the uncertainty. “The whole environment is draining,” she says. She’s telling Indian friends who are considering U.S. B-schools to rethink their plans. “It’s a huge financial investment to come and study in the U.S.,” she says. “If you don’t find a good return on investment and have to go back jobless, it doesn’t seem like a good option.”

An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
Wren Lewis links to this on twitter tom:https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/heterodox-economics-venezuela-collapse-by-ricardo-hausmann-2016-05loooool!
"Venezuela used the 2004-2013 oil boom to quintuple its external public debt, instead of saving up for a rainy day. By 2013, Venezuela’s extravagant borrowing led international capital markets to shut it out, leading the authorities to print money. This caused the currency to lose 98% of its value in the last three years. By the time oil prices fell in 2014, the country was in no position to take the hit, with collapsing domestic production and capacity to import, leading to the current disaster. "
Thanks for the info I haven't had time to understand what happened in Venezuela. I assume they should have saved the USD from oil and spent their own currency instead?
The people running the country likely *have it all backwards* and have made the country dependent upon oil exports to maintain and boost the standard of living, rather than developing a vibrant domestic sector with good competitive markets to keep costs down. Once oil revenue dries up you run out of basics.The situation is likely the result of focusing on exports and not realising that the power comes from owning the real resource, oil, that others desperately want rather than selling it.
Hausmann and Maduro had a spat. Hausmann was pre-Chavez government minister in Venezuela, now a Harvard professor.Venezuelan President Threatens Kennedy School ProfessorVenezuelan President Nicolas Maduro threatened legal action against Kennedy School of Government professor Ricardo Hausmann on Thursday, accusing Hausmann of attempting to destabilize the country’s economy by suggesting it consider defaulting on its debt.Maduro’s comments came in the wake of the publication, on Sept. 5, of an article co-written by Hausmann that argued the country should contemplate defaulting on its debt and using the money previously reserved to pay creditors to support its struggling domestic economy. Venezuela is facing widespread shortages of basic domestic goods and has one of the highest inflation rates in the world.The article by Hausmann, a former planning minister for Venezuela, concluded that Maduro’s government is too corrupt to make such a decision and ease those shortages. According to Maduro, Hausmann’s article was responsible for the sharp decline in the country’s bond prices last week.“The fact that his administration has chosen to default on 30 million Venezuelans, rather than on Wall Street, is not a sign of its moral rectitude,” Hausmann and HKS researcher Miguel Angel Santos wrote of the country’s decision to service foreign debt rather than default on its foreign bonds. “It is a signal of its moral bankruptcy.”
Hausmann's to economics and development economics in which he specializes is neoclassical. The problems of development economics are in no way close to being solved. The only developing economy that has done exceptionally well is China and can foresee developed status on a par with the developed economies. But it is a huge country that has been investing in military technology with a spillover into domestic technology. These is how the USSR developed from a peasant-based agricultural economy to be able to hold off the military might of the West and withstand the Nazi invasion.Here is his notion of "original sin" in developmental economics from the Wikipedia article on him:The expression original sin was first used in international finance in a 1999 article by Barry Eichengreen and Hausmann. The authors define original sin as a situation in which the residents (or government) of a country are unable to borrow in their own domestic currency. In other words, a poor country is forced to borrow funds denominated in foreign exchange (e.g. the U.S. dollar, the euro, or the yen). Based on their measure of original sin the authors show that original sin was present in most of the developing economies and independent from histories of high inflation and currency depreciation. This is seen as problematic because if the borrowing country's domestic currency depreciates, the loan will become more difficult to pay back, since their currency is now worth less relative to the loan.Later research has mainly focused on the international component of original sin: the inability of most countries to borrow abroad in their own currency. Barry Eichengreen, Hausmann and Ugo Panizza show that almost all of the countries (except US, Euro area, Japan, UK, and Switzerland) suffered from (international) original sin over time. The authors argued that this international component of original sin has serious consequences. It makes debt riskier, increases volatility, and affects a country's ability to conduct an independent monetary policy. This is because original sin is likely to cause a currency mismatch in the national balance sheet of a country: the currencies of its assets and those of its liabilities do not correspond. Thus, large swings in the real exchange rate will have an effect on aggregate wealth and it will be more difficult for the country to service its debt. In other words, original sin tends to make the fiscal balance dependent on the real exchange rate and the short term real interest rate.Criticism on the concept of original sin has been twofold. On the one hand, Morris Goldstein and Philip Turner claim that original sin is not a sufficient condition for a currency mismatch, and thus cannot account for the large output losses due to the currency mismatches during financial crises . On the other hand, Carmen Reinhart, Kenneth Rogoff and Miguel Savastano claim that the main problem of emerging market economies is to learn how to borrow less rather than learn how to borrow more in their domestic currency. They assumed that the problems of emerging markets were not due to original sin, but to so-called debt intolerance: the inability of emerging markets to manage levels of external debt that, under the same circumstances, would be manageable for developed countries. Eichengreen, Hausmann and Panizza respond to both criticisms in a paper elaborating the difference between currency mismatches, debt intolerance and original sin.
