In a Facebook post Friday, Maria Sharapova responded to recent reports following her failed drug test.
According to reports, Sharapova was warned five times about the addition of the drug Meldonium to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances prior to her recent failed test. She faces a potential ban from tennis as a result, with an ITF hearing pending.
Sharapova detailed how often she took the drug, and explained that many of the warnings she received were via emails that made the pertinent information difficult to locate or come across without significant digging through links and logging into a password-protected site.
From her post:
In other words, in order to be aware of this “warning”, you had to open an email with a subject line having nothing to do with anti-doping, click on a webpage, enter a password, enter a username, hunt, click, hunt, click, hunt, click, scroll and read. I guess some in the media can call that a warning. I think most people would call it too hard to find.
Sharapova also mentioned a “wallet card” distributed at tournaments that contained pertinent information in small print, attaching photos. “No excuses,” she wrote, “but it’s wrong to say I was warned five times.”
Finally, she detailed how often she took the drug.
There was also a headline that said, “4-6 Weeks Normal Treatment for Drug in Maria Sharapova Case.” That headline has been repeated by many reporters who fail to tell their viewers and readers what the rest of the story says. The story quotes the manufacturer of my medicine as saying: “Treatment course can be repeated twice or thrice a year. Only physicians can follow and evaluate patient's health condition and state whether the patient should use meldonium for a longer period of time."
That’s exactly what I did. I didn’t take the medicine every day. I took it the way my doctor recommended I take it and I took it in the low doses recommended.

Sharapova wrote that she hopes to play tennis again and maintained she had been “honest and upfront” about her usage and prescription.

ST. LOUIS — An appeals panel has rejected the breach of fiduciary duty claims of a plaintiff who said the assets in a trust created by his father were not properly preserved.
In a decision handed down June 13, the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District affirmed a St. Louis County Circuit Court bench trial judgment in favor of Marlene Brown, Jason Brown, trust attorney Christopher Erblich, Dennis Brown and Janine Hutchinson Smith.
They had been sued by Keith Brown, the eldest son of Harlin Brown, who died in January 2007. In 1995, Harlin Brown had created a trust, which was restated in 2001 and amended numerous times before he died, the ruling states.
At the time of his death, he was married to Marlene Brown, who became co-trustee along with Erblich after his death. In 2009, Jason Brown, one of Harlin Brown's sons, became co-trustee.
The ruling indicates that Dennis Brown is another son of Harlin Brown, and Janine Hutchinson Smith is Marlene Brown’s daughter.
Keith Brown had argued that the trustees made excessive distributions to Marlene Brown, thereby failing in a duty to "preserve the principal of the Trust for contingent remaindermen, including Appellant," the ruling states.
He also claimed even if the trustees did not have that duty to preserve "they did not follow the terms of the Trust and made distributions of principal to Marlene Brown that were unnecessary and in excess of her standard of living prior to Grantor's death," the ruling states.
The appeals panel, comprised of presiding Judge James M. Dowd and Judges Kurt Odenwald and Gary Gaertner Jr., found no error in the trial court's rejection of Keith Brown's breach of fiduciary duty claims.
The decision notes several provisions of the trust "pertinent" to distributions to Marlene:
"(T)he Trustee shall distribute to the Grantor's spouse, from time to time, such amounts of the principal of the trust estate as necessary to provide for the health, education, maintenance and/or support of the Grantor's spouse.
"It is the Grantor's desire that (his) spouse be able to live in a manner which shall be consistent with (her) accustomed manner of living.
"[T]he Trustee shall give primary consideration to the needs of the income beneficiary or beneficiaries (here only Marlene Brown), rather than to the conservation of the trust estate for persons having remainder interests," the ruling states.

For a person who isn’t familiar with the world of compatible camera lenses, he or she might find it difficult to differentiate a mirrorless camera from a DSLR camera. With the awareness each brand creates about its own system, it’s often difficult trying to determine which is more suitable for oneself.
In this article, we have concisely explained every detail that would give you a better knowledge of a mirrorless camera
What is a mirrorless camera?
A mirrorless camera is any camera that does not need a reflex mirror. A reflex mirror is an integral part of a DSLR camera. The mirror in a DSLR camera reverses the light to the optical viewfinder. This optical viewfinder is not found in a mirrorless camera; rather the imaging sensor is always exposed to light which allows you to have an automated preview of your image either on the rear LCD screen or an electronic viewfinder (EVF). Mirrorless cameras are known as “mirrorless” while the DSLR cameras are referred as “mirrored.”
A lot of people became used to the term “mirrorless” during the invention of the mirrorless digital cameras with compatible lenses. Most cameras do not have a reflex mirror. Scientifically, a point-and-shoot is a mirrorless camera likewise a Leica rangefinder as well as older film models. The phrase “mirrorless” generally describes digital compatible lens cameras (ILCs) that have electronic viewfinders or those that do not have electronic viewfinders.
Mirrorless cameras are more significant than the DSLR cameras this is due to that the fact that the mirror box occupies a lot of space inside the camera asides that, mirrorless cameras can be made much smaller than the DSLR cameras. Beginners, ordinary photographers, and even professionals are very familiar with the mirrorless cameras.
Lots of Lenses
Mirrorless cameras make use of a bayonet-style mount for fastening different lenses. The various manufacturers have a different specific proprietary mount, making it impossible for any mirrorless lens to be used on any mirrorless camera. However, lenses for those mounts have been produced. An exception to this is the Micro Four Thirds. This mount is only used by Panasonic, Olympus and a few professional players like the drone maker DJI and the cinema camera manufacturer Blackmagic Design. You can use any Micro Four Thirds lens on a camera with the same mount despite the brand.
One interesting fact about mirrorless compatible lens cameras is that the distance between the lens mount and the sensor is much smaller than that of a DSLR camera. As a result, a variety of lenses from DSLR manufacturers can be attached using various adapters. Some companies like Fotodiox and Metabones sell lens adapters for mirrorless cameras that would allow you to use the newest Canon lenses to the oldest medium format lenses. This is an excellent benefit for photographers with existing caches of lenses.
Sensors, Autofocus, Video, and More
Mirrorless cameras can have the same size of sensors as the DSLR cameras. The same way that Canon and Nikon produce full-frame and crop sensors in their DSLR cameras, Sony also produces full-frame and crop sensors for mirrorless cameras. Some companies like Fujifilm do not only produce crop sensors but also medium-format sensors that are bigger than the whole frame. If a camera is small, that doesn’t mean that the mirrorless lenses would be small. For instance, a 300mm lens on a full-frame DSLR camera will be the same size on a full-frame mirrorless camera. We cannot explain the physics behind it. But smaller sensors formats can make do with smaller lenses. For instance, Micro Four Thirds has a crop factor of 2x compared to the whole frame. Therefore a 150mm lens would yield a 300mm full-frame equivalent field of view, but that won’t be bulky. Larger sensors produce better image quality.
The proficiency of the autofocus of mirrorless cameras varies greatly, and this is dependent on the manufacturers’ lenses being used with the cameras. It is tough to ascertain whether or not mirrorless cameras have an advantage over DSLRs in this area. Initially, they did not as they depended on a slower contrast-detection AF system, but this has been improved since recent times. DSLR cameras provide more dependable performance, especially when trying to capture moving objects or when there isn’t enough light.
Mirrorless cameras could outdo DSLR cameras in AF performance in the future, but one area where they may likely have issues is the battery life. Their batteries do not last as a result of the constant use of the sensors and the live LCD or EVF. Although, this could be improved on in recent times, but the robust battery lifespan of DSLR cameras is preferred by individual photographers, especially those covering sports or other live events.
In videos, mirrorless cameras have a more unobstructed view. When using the video mode, you must set the DSLR on live view, while using the rear LCD screen instead of the optical viewfinder. This, in turn, wipes out the battery’s life and subsequently, the viewer becomes worthless. Nevertheless, the electronic viewfinder in a mirrorless camera can also be used in the video mode. Sony and Panasonic are dedicated to building in high-end video features to their cameras.
Upgrades and Accessories
Although mirrorless cameras are more recent than the DSLR cameras, accessories and add-ons are not in short supply. A lot of mirrorless systems offers a wide selection of lenses. Most models have hot shoes for attaching external flashes; the high-end models support the vertical battery grips as in most DSLR cameras which helps improve ergonomics and extends the lifespan of the battery.
The DSLR cameras are a whole lot better for professional studio lighting although most lighting companies have updated their wireless transmitters to work with more brands. Mirrorless cameras are likely to strike a balance with the DSLR cameras when it comes to accessories shortly.
Wrapping it up
Mirrorless cameras are not better neither are they worse than the DSLR cameras. They are more preferably in some areas like videos and lacking in some other areas such as the lifespan of the battery. Finally, it boils down to what type of camera best fits your needs. The compact models of mirrorless cameras are mostly preferred by amateur photographers who aren’t interested in the lifespan of the battery and who want a camera, they can quickly take along with them. For professional photographs, it’s a deadlock.

Dating back 2009…
I have been living behind the gates for almost two years now. I have experienced so much and yet so little. It is very hard when someone asks me to describe my life at UCU. Can I portray it as a flowing sequence of events and memories? Not exactly, for life at UC is turbulent underneath the silent and peaceful green grass of the quad. Looking back, the best way I can imagine my UC time is if I see my life here as a small album of four photographs: four types of clashes a student experiences here.
A table full of Bulgarians, with only one missing
Dinner time, Dining Hall is full. The lamps throw dim light over the red ceiling and grey columns, and there is a low steady buzz of voices surrounding the tables. Listening closely, one can distinguish the slightly louder laughter coming from the long table at the left side. I turn around and I see them. Laughing, talking to each other, loud and free without anyone else around being able to understand them. They look happy. Then I turn my head back to my table and look at the faces of my friends, each and one of them from different parts of the world. Some people say there are intense culture clashes at UCU but what happens when you clash with your own culture? I tell everyone I have mainly international friends because I like to experience new cultures. But deep down I know that the truth lies in the reason I came here in the first place. I want to be the tie between past and present for my parents, and I want to have opportunities they never even dreamt of even if they come at some cost. The boundary between not wanting to remember and not wanting to forget your past and origin can be dangerously thick. And as I am still trying to find what I am looking for, my place at this line is yet to be discovered
Me trying to find the post office
I have been asked: how do Dutch people treat you? Do they distinguish between foreigners? Do they care that you are Eastern European? After four semesters in theNetherlands, I have no clue how to answer these questions. And the reason is the oh-so-familiar UCU bubble effect. This photograph depicts me off campus for the first time in a month, cursing quietly under my breath, because two years of living inUtrechtis not enough for me to know where the post office is. I am not going to go into detail, as we all speculate about the vast invisible walls of this bubble. We all talk about it and in the same time we all know that living on campus is nothing like living in real-lifeNetherlands. I have found my place in UC society, but I don’t know my place beyond the gates. Here, I have people I can depend on, but what happens outside the comfortable UC network of units? The clash between what we experience here and what is out there is big and the fierce truth is that I haven’t got the faintest idea about it. I go back to my country and tell people I know theNetherlands. But while saying that, I know that lying to yourself is not as easy as lying to other people.
The smile of a “sister” I never talk to
Three weeks of inseparable partying, eating, studying together, and two years later we don’t even glance at each other when we pass in the corridors of Locke. This is a phenomenon I haven’t really experienced before coming to UC. The constant grouping and regrouping, the constant clashing of social circles creates a very peculiar picture. Campus is small, a little more than 700 people, everyone living together, soon the time comes when you know everyone. By face. By what you have heard. Or due to the fact that you used to be good friends. Key word – used to. I could accept the idea that this is normal for such a small insular society, but that doesn’t make it less strange. And then there is the other thing: UC people are social animals, open people, nice people, polite people, yet everyone has their own circle, group or “society”. You pass someone outside your circle on campus, he looks at you, with an inclination of a smile, but then quickly gives up and looks away. You coincidently meet the same guy at the Hema in town, he stops and talks to you for half an hour. And in the end, you sigh deeply every time you look at that dusty old photograph of you and a girl you don’t care about anymore, signed with love on the back.
My home and why I avoid it
There is this interesting definition people use to define themselves. It is this very human concept, which leads their lives and helps them develop their roles. The concept of home. For me, well, that concept scares me. I have left what I have perceived as home for eighteen years, to settle in an imitation of a home, preparing for the creation of my future home, without even knowing what kind of or where I want this home to be. Here you have the photograph of a girl with nothing international in her despite her way of thinking, trying to find something she is looking for without knowing what exactly. And trust me that photograph does not belong only to the foreign students. Students who leave home, and especially go abroad, will experience the clash between what they had and what they should create. They will never let go of that burning sensation of being torn between going back and going forward. They will never let go of the warmth they feel for their past, and the passion for a great future. And yet they will go on. There is no right way, there is just brave compromise, well, and a bit of chance.

I wonder whether you have ever heard the name Marion LoGuidice. You can quickly guess that she is a well-established person if you learn the facts– a duet recorded with Cyndi Lauper; 60,000 likes on her Facebook fan page; the 8 consecutive sold-out shows in New York City. However, Marion’s start as a singer-songwriter was fairly late.
She was 40 years old when she began her musical career, unable to play music instruments and without academic music education. One night, as she watched TV, she couldn’t take her eyes off an old lady who did a self-cover. Marion suddenly made up her mind to write a song after seeing this elderly woman, who was profoundly singing a well-known pop song featured on a soap opera.
In the next morning, she purchased music gear, called “Q-Chord,” with which anyone can easily play chords, and eagerly wrote a song. It was the birth of her first original song. After, melodies and lyrics flowed out of her one after another and, before she knew it, there was a pile of songs. “I broke out after 40 years of silence. Everything in my life and feelings came out in melodies and words, and it never stopped.”
Although she wrote songs on her own, she was unsure whether they were good or bad, so she called Larry Saltzman– known as a guitarist of Simon and Garfunkel– through a friend of his to ask his opinion. She never expected him to return her call, but that was the right move because Larry, impressed by her talent, has been and still is her important partner now.
Marion was determined to make an album, as Larry strongly recommended, yet it was not easy for her to make time for music and save money for the recording while working full-time and taking care of her small daughter. “I wrote the lyrics in the checkout line at the supermarket, in the bathroom after midnight when the baby was asleep and quiet. I always had a pencil and paper, no matter where I went,” said Marion. She stayed creative non-stop and finally completed her debut album, “Mother Wheel” in 2003.
Marion is a late bloomer in the music world. “If I did the same thing at 20 years old, I believe that the result would have been different from now. I had no self-esteem and couldn’t endure the criticism when I was young but, at 40, I was so tuned in, with ample experience in life.” People might think she is “lucky” but these numerous accomplishments were the results of decisions she made and actions she took with wisdom from 40 years of life.
Even though her debut album was successfully released, her very first show was a “horrible” experience. Marion says, “I had my eyes closed, with my hat on, and couldn’t see the audience because I was so afraid.”
Yet there was a person who was moved by her voice and songs in the audience. That person was Cyndi Lauper. Since then, they have become very close, like sisters, and recorded a duet song, “Mary” in 2009. With her passionate voice and singing, she proved a great singer, as strong as the legendary Cyndi. Then last year, she released her third album – a collection of musical gems – “Tales From the Topside World.”
Marion, who had heard from Cyndi Lauper- who was actually touring in Japan at that time- what the Great East Japan Earthquake had caused, thinks about Japan with all her heart and wants to send a message to Japanese people: “It broke my heart. I felt like I wanted to caress Japan. That’s why I want Japanese people to see my show, to be encouraged.”
As a storyteller, Marion LoGuidice, infuses life into her words and weaves a story in melody. Experience her solid and soulful live performances.

The Nigerian Senate has boasted of its achievement over a period of two years, saying it passed 96 bills and 72 petitions, the highest ever in the history of the National Assembly.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Friday, disclosed this during his valedictory speech to mark the two years anniversary of the 8th Senate.
He noted that the Senate committed itself to greater openness and accountability, adding: “We have led from the frontline on the war against corruption, having passed several corruption-exposing resolutions that have saved the government billions of naira cumulatively.”
Saraki also explained that the National Assembly has opened its line-by-line item budget to the world, a first in the history of the National Assembly.
Saraki who thanked all his colleagues for their zeal and doggedness assured that the Senate will continue to sustain its current feat in ensuring that Nigeria is taken out of recession.
All other lawmakers who spoke during the valedictory session hailed the outstanding leadership of the Senate President for bringing about a bipartisan Senate devoid of ethnic, religious and sectional sentiments.
Senator George Sekibo, who also spoke during the special session, used the occasion to call on the APC administration to desist from harassing political opponents perceived to be speaking against the government, adding that the PDP lawmakers in the Senate have been very supportive to the current administration.
In his valedictory contribution, Senator Dino Melaye urged that the rule of law must prevail and not allow for selective application of law.
The valedictory session was attended by national leadership of both the APC and PDP, serving ministers, former presiding officers and members of the diplomatic community.

Shuffled north to a favourite camping spot, the run out of the ‘city’ of Newcastle took longer than it should, by the time I hit the highway I was shirtless, soaking up the sun through the windscreen of the rental and looking for an adequate place along the roadside to pee. I blame it on that one-more-coffee at ‘The Kiosk‘.
The targeted camping spot is a perpetual favourite, especially in winter when you’re likely to be alone. Held my breath as I wound along the last stretch of dirt road, peering through the trees in search of other tents. Nothing, no-one. Yes!
Set up the little orange dome on a patch of grass in the patchy afternoon sunlight and made my way up and over the dunes to a pristine stretch of beach that I hadn’t realised I missed so much. The memories I have from here are next to none; fishing with Dad, camping with friends and sunsets with Elena.
A book read well into the afternoon, beach fire at dusk, swimming naked in the morning light, absolute perfection.
The little orange dome, it’s as easy as that.
Whether it was luck or maybe I had forgotten just how kind Australian winters are; I ran head long into clear skies, sun still with a little warmth to it and waves to match on the East Coast.
An early morning lineup of Bar Beach, Newcastle looking a little more Hawaiian than usual.
A single roll of film over a cup of coffee with Ash.
Good times, great mates and five minutes on Hunter Street.
I researched and researched and researched and finally bought a new tent. To test it out managed a quick strike, with a film camera in tow, to a favourite quiet place not too far from home.
Camped on the gravel bed by the lake with only rising trout for company, watched the sun go down and then rise again in the morning.
First pitch of the new tent
Watching the sun go down over the mountains
If you can pronounce it, ask around for it.
A neat little break in the weather and every day routine, the three of us posted up in an Airbnb and poked around Twizel including the Hooker Valley, Tasman Glacier, Tekapo and a few other nearby spots for a weekend.
A couple of favourites from the trip, hope you enjoy checking out the photos as much as I did taking them!

Tenet Scales $280 Million at the Box Office Worldwide
Principle — Christopher Nolan’s epic time-twisting secret activities film — has now netted an expected $283.2 million (about Rs. 2,080 crores) at the worldwide film industry, subsequent to including an expected $19.2 million (about Rs. 140 crores) overall this previous end of the week from 57 business sectors. That proceeds with the Nolan film’s stoppage in the cinematic world, with Tenet outperforming $200 million two ends of the week back and $250 million a weekend ago. Warner Bros. is having an especially troublesome time in the US, where Tenet got just $3.4 million (about Rs. 25 crores) this end of the week, as significant film markets (Los Angeles and New York) to a great extent stay shut because of the continuous Covid pandemic.
Of its current assessed $283.2 million aggregate, Tenet has netted $64.3 million (about Rs. 475 crores) in China, trailed by $41 million (about Rs. 300 crores) in the US, $19.6 million (about Rs. 145 crores) in the UK, $18 million (about Rs. 132 crores) in France, $14.6 million (about Rs. 107 crores) in Germany, and $13.1 million (about Rs. 96 crores) in South Korea. Precept has done well in Nolan’s preferred film design — IMAX — with it contributing $27 million (about Rs. 200 crores) so far, which is 11.2 percent of Tenet’s film industry complete. IMAX is around 1–2 percent regarding screen tally.
While Tenet is by all accounts failing to meet expectations for a Nolan film, it merits recalling that there is no setting for film industry during the pandemic. Furthermore, Tenet has 25 business sectors where it doesn’t have a delivery date, including India. Films in India stay shut till September 30 and there’s no official word up ’til now on whether they may be permitted to return in October.
Past Tenet, Mulan — Disney’s surprisingly realistic reconsidering of its enlivened melodic — has now netted $64.4 million (about Rs. 475 crores) altogether, with $40 million (about Rs. 295 crores) rolling in from China. Despite the fact that China is plainly its most significant market, Mulan has enormously failed to meet expectations in China according to Disney’s desires. All things considered, Mulan may have made more than Tenet, if figures gave by examination research firm 7Park Data are to be accepted, which put the film’s US opening on Disney+ at near $261 million (about Rs. 1,920 crores).
A long ways behind Tenet and Mulan is The New Mutants, which has now move to $38.9 million (about Rs. 285 crores) around the world. The X-Men awfulness turn off has battled with $18.6 million (about Rs. 135 crores) rolling in from the US. Other significant business sectors are France ($2.8 million), Mexico ($2 million), the UK ($1.9 million), Spain ($1.3 million), and Germany ($1.1 million). The New Mutants opens October 22 in China.

This is not a variation of the Cinderella story you once knew so well. Ms. Chance once again takes a fairy tale and combines parts of the story into mayhem and murder. Her characters are intense, there is humor to balance the plot of evildoing along the way, and the intricacies and motivations aid in the aura of perversion in this twisted tale.
Miss Ophelia Flax has a plan to facilitate a mother-daughter meeting for her friend Prue and her mother, Henrietta. Henrietta is a supposedly wealthy woman having married a French Marquis. Sadly, Miss Ophelia and Prue arrive to find a moldy, mouse-infested mansion and discover Henrietta is missing, but no one in her new family is looking for her. What's worse, a woman's body (decked out in a ball gown and missing a glass slipper) was discovered in the pumpkin patch.
Now, it's up to Miss O. to get down to the bottom of the murder and the missing Henrietta. In the meantime, Prue is busy learning how to tend to a kitchen. Her stepsisters and stepfather go about their business of not caring about the identity of the dead woman and even worse, are not concerned about what happened to Henrietta. Along the way, Ophelia meets again her mysterious dashing scholar, Professor Gabriel Penrose. Together they do their best to get to the bottom of what exactly is happened to Cinderella and Henrietta.
Ms. Chance takes a simple fairy tale and creates chaos and murder out of it. Seldom has this reader seen such a twisted take on Cinderella, but it is well worth the chaos to discover the answer to the bigger picture: when will Miss O. and her professor realize their best work is done when they are together? This question remains unanswered, but all else is not. If you're wondering when the next book is coming out, have no fear, "Beauty, Beast & Belladonna" is coming in February 2016.
This Cinderella goes from ashes to ashes in the new Victorian-era Fairy Tale Fatal Mystery by the author of Snow White Red-Handed . . .
Variety hall actress Ophelia Flax’s plan to reunite her friend Prue with her estranged—and allegedly wealthy—mother, Henrietta, is met with a grim surprise. Not only is the marquise’s Paris mansion a mouse-infested ruin, but Henrietta has inexplicably vanished, leaving behind an evasive husband, two sinister stepsisters, and a bullet-riddled corpse in the pumpkin patch decked out in a ball gown and one glass slipper—a corpse that also happens to be a dead ringer for Prue.
Strangely, no one at 15 rue Garenne seems concerned about who plugged this luckless Cinderella or why, so the investigation is left to Ophelia and Prue. It takes them through the labyrinthine maze of the Paris Opera, down the trail of a legendary fairy tale relic, into the confidence of a wily prince charmless, and makes them vulnerable to the secrets of a mysterious couturière with designs of her own on Prue’s ever-twisting family history.

If you’ve ever before considered seeing someone out of another nation, the chances are good that the idea excites and intrigue you. Of course, who will not want to experience a different way of life and get to know an entirely fresh group of people? However just like any type of partnership, dating in other countries can be quite a lot of work. You’ll likely end up being navigating differences in social rules and customs, and even political ones.
Cultural differences can present a challenge, nevertheless they don’t have to be described as a barrier. For instance, in Portugal and Philippines, people might be direct and say the actual mean Should I Marry A Slovakian Bride? without worrying about hurting other’s feelings — as opposed to in the us where currently being overly courteous is often the rule through the day. In addition , Us residents are trained that they have many options, this means you will be difficult to settle on one person when there are many other “fish in the sea” to choose from. This really is seen in the way women and men methodology a https://muslimmenspeak.com/the-bulgarian-wedding-party-garter-traditions date or a first hug.
In North Korea, where people are strictly monitored by government, dating is growing rapidly almost impossible. Nevertheless , some lovers have been known to meet in secret, and in many cases just spending time with each other is a so what for those there. In Japan, individuals are expected to be a bit more formal when they are going out with, which can make it hard for some couples. However there are some people that embrace the greater structured seeing rules and choose them to become very pleasant.
With regards to flirting with an individual from another country, do not focus a lot on the vocabulary and customs and instead, focus on those things you have in common. This will allow you to build a solid foundation which to move ahead with the romantic relationship. For example , if your partner spent my youth celebrating Halloween in an exceedingly different way than you would, sharing this kind of tradition with them can provide you with both a feeling of nostalgia.
As the romance will grow, it will be critical to understand what every single other’s anticipations are for future years of the relationship. For instance, if your partner is out of Latin America, it’s regular to spend a little extra time “friend zone”ing your love curiosity before moving forward to a more romantic relationship. This is usually a difficult transition for a few people, particularly if it feels like you’re just wasting your time.
At some time, you’ll need to decide if you want to move to the other peoples country or perhaps if long is what will work for you. This is a major decision that can be quite emotional, although it’s also a chance for one to grow your relationship even more and also have a truly exclusive love adventure to tell.
In the end, dropping in love with someone from various country is definitely a rewarding experience. With a dose of planning and communication, you can take the soar and find the happily-ever-after.

BADALING, China (VN) — Omega Pharma-Quick Step boss Patrick Lefevere says Levi Leipheimer’s future with the Belgian team is anything but certain.
Leipheimer’s doping confession and testimony in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s case against Lance Armstrong could cost him the final year of his two-year deal with the Belgian outfit in 2013.
The veteran Belgian director said no decisions on Leipheimer’s future with the team will be taken immediately, but voiced his frustration with the 38-year-old who joined Omega Pharma this season.
“We can fire him. Right on the first page of his contract it says that if he has anything to do with a doping scandal or with former doping practices, the contract can be cancelled,” Lefevere told VeloNews on Thursday. “I do not like to make decisions when things are hot. We will discuss this with our board and make the right decision after conferring with everyone.”
Leipheimer publicly admitted Wednesday that he doped from 2000-2007 and said he volunteered information to USADA investigators because he believed it was an authentic effort that could have lasting, positive change to the sport.
Leipheimer was among 11 former Armstrong teammates who collaborated with USADA to give evidence and testimony in the U.S. Postal Service case. Only Leipheimer and three Garmin-Sharp riders — David Zabriskie, Christian Vande Velde and Tom Danielson — remain active.
While Garmin has staunchly stood beside its riders, Lefevere expressed frustration with Leipheimer because he didn’t tell team management about his involvement in the USADA investigation until a phone call Wednesday morning to tip Lefevere off that he was going to be named in the USADA dossier as a collaborative witness.
“He called me one hour before the statement was released,” Lefevere said. “He never told us anything before we signed him and nothing at all this year. It’s a big mess. The easiest thing would be to say, ‘end of story.’ Many will defend him. We will have to see what our board and sponsors say. I don’t think it’s a big mess for us. It’s clear it’s all about the past.”
Lefevere was also in the dark about suspensions that the American riders accepted last month.
USADA said the riders would each serve a six-month ban that is back-dated from September 1 to March 1. Officials from USA Cycling, which has the authority to hand down bans for U.S. license-holders, told VeloNews on Wednesday that all involved riders still have valid licenses and are allowed to race.
Lefevere says he’s going to wait to see how the UCI reacts before making any decisions.
“Levi says he only found out yesterday that he was going to be banned. It’s a back-dated ban and, in theory, he could race March 1. He wants to race Paris-Nice. We will see what happens,” Lefevere said. “What’s obvious is that this has nothing to do with us. This all happened five or 10 years ago. He never told us anything about this before he signed his contract with us.”
Lefevere said he is not opposed to riders confessing about past indiscretions. Allegations have been leveled against Lefevere in the Belgian media about his role in 1990s doping scandals surrounding riders on teams he formerly managed, including classics superstar Johan Museeuw, who admitted that he used EPO during his career.
Lefevere said when he was president of the AIGCP, the team owners’ association, he had proposed an amnesty-type program, allowing riders to openly admit any past doping activity and serve a reduced ban before being allowed to start anew.
He said he was unable to build consensus among the teams about his idea to “draw a line in the sand,” something that has been discussed of late as well. The UCI scuttled plans for any formal amnesty program during management meetings at the road world championships last month.
“No one could agree and now here we are today, still dealing with the past,” Lefevere said. “Cycling has changed. Of course, there will always be people who try to cut corners. The controls are in place. Anyone who tries to cheat today is crazy.”
Lefevere also said he was never close to Armstrong, saying that he only spoke with him once.
“The only time I spoke with Armstrong was in 1998, when he came up to me and said, ‘Squinzi will be sorry because I am going to win the Tour de France,'” Lefevere said, referring to ex-Mapei owner Giorgio Squinzi, where Lefevere was team manager in the 1990s.
“I always admired Armstrong for the fact that he was a cancer survivor and what he did for the disease,” he continued. “I, too, had a tumor that only five percent survive. I was one of the lucky ones.”
Lefevere said he hopes the Armstrong case blows over quickly, saying that it’s hard to imagine how much harm the scandal will have on cycling’s already-tarnished image.
“The damage has already been done, with the Festina Affair and with Operación Puerto,” he said. “People have to realize that a new generation of riders have come into the sport. Of the 11 riders who testified, only four are still active. This happened a long time ago. Cycling has changed and people should believe that.”

Star Wars actor John Boyega braved the bad weather and gave an emphatic speech at a large London protest against George Floyd’s death, telling demonstrators that “now is the time” to demand racial equality, said CNN.
He made this emotional speech into a megaphone as thousands poured through Hyde Park, to serve as a solidarity march with their counterpart in the US.
“Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded regardless,” said Boyega.
“And now is the time. I ain’t waiting. I ain’t waiting. Every black person understands and realizes the first time you are reminded that you are black,” Boyega added, as he occasionally stopped to fight back tears during the speech, said CNN.
“You remember. Every black person in here remembers when another person reminded you that you were black.”
This is just one of the many protests around that world that were organized to show their concern over the death of African-American George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police officer.
The British-Nigerian actor reminded the crowd of other black men killed by police in the United States.
He also mentioned Stephen Lawrence, a black British teenager murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993; and, Mark Duggan, whose 2011 shooting by police sparked protests and then riots across the UK.
Boyega has known for his role as Finn the Star Wars sequel trilogy films The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

Key players in real estate sector have called on the Federal Government to recapitalize the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, FMBN, to the tune of N1trillion to enable the bank increase delivery of affordable housing to subscribers of the National Housing Fund, NHF, Scheme.
They argued that with over four million subscribers to the National Housing Fund, NHF, scheme, FMBN’s current capital base of N5 billion is grossly inadequate to solve the huge housing deficit confronting the country.
The President of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria, REDAN, Alhaji (Dr.) Aliyu Oroji Wamakko, echoed the voice of the experts when he led the newly inaugurated National Executive Council of REDAN on a visit to the Board and Management of the FMBN in Abuja.
Alhjai Wamakko emphasized that the long-overdue recapitalization of the bank is fundamental to the growth of the housing industry as it will empower the FMBN to service both the demand and supply side of the housing market in Nigeria.
According to him, “We know that with over four million subscribers to the National Housing Fund, NHF, scheme, FMBN’s current capital base of N5billion is grossly inadequate to provide both mortgage and construction loans to lessen the housing deficit in the country.
“We shall sustain this advocacy until the federal government increases FMBN’s capitalization to grow the housing sector.”
He commended the management of FMBN for the central role that the bank is playing in stimulating housing development and sought for stronger collaboration and support in the areas of increased estate development loans to its registered members, quality control and prevention of quacks in the industry, project monitoring and housing stock development.
He additionally, sought for continual partnership with FMBN towards stemming money laundering and fraud in the sector.

Responding, the Managing Director/Chief Executive of FMBN, Arc. Ahmed M. Dangiwa congratulated REDAN for its successful investiture of the 4th president and inauguration of the 6th EXCO members while congratulating Alhjai (Dr.) Wammako on his appointment as the new president of REDAN.
“This visit is timely and important in view of the urgent need for all stakeholders in the housing sector to work together – more than ever before – to force a new, creative and more definitive path forward towards tackling the housing deficit in this country.
“As we all know, the major challenge facing the housing sector is funding and affordability, representing the supply and demand sides respectively. We need to fix this head to make progress”
Arch. Dangiwa noted further that “It is on this note that the bank introduced several reforms to make its services affordable. This includes a flat equity contribution of 10% across board for mortgage loans above N5m while those for N5m and below attract zero equity.”
“Others are collaboration with domestic and international large scale developers; partnership with the Nigeria Labor Congress,NLC, Trade Union Congress, TUC, and the Nigeria Consultative Association as well as introduction of new products such as home renovation loans, individual construction loans and the rent to own scheme.”
Arc. Dangiwa added that over the past three years, FMBN has made substantial improvements and increased delivery of affordable housing to Nigerian workers with the little resources available.
“We remain hopeful that the FG will recapitalize FMBN soon. This will enable us to scale our operations to ensure that more Nigerians have access to affordable housing.”
He thanked REDAN for their visit and promised that as the country’s apex mortgage institution, FMBN is ready and committed to continuing its collaboration with REDAN to making a positive and historic difference in the delivery of affordable housing in the country.

Freelancing, flexibility, and networking: An interview with filmmaker Sophie Saville
Are you interested in a career in the creative industry? Curious about what you need to know about freelancing or working in a production company?
Earlier this year, I sat down with Sophie Saville, producer of Evicted! A Modern Romance, which won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at this year’s Sydney Film Festival in June. Sophie graduated from UTS with a Bachelor of Media Arts and Production in 2014 and freelanced in film and production for four years before co-founding the production company ‘The Story Mill’, with her creative partner Rowan Devereux.
Read on to hear more about Sophie’s career journey, what she’s learnt along the way, and what she wishes she’d known as a uni student.
So, to start with, congratulations! It’s a significant achievement, and you should be very proud, but how did it feel when you first discovered that evicted won at the SFF?
Just in shock! It was such a surreal moment and a dream come true. The whole festival was a very surreal experience and something I only dreamed about. Hearing we had won the Audience Choice Award was the cherry on the cake because, at one stage, I was almost certain we hadn’t gotten into the Sydney Film Festival. It was a few weeks out from the festival, and we still hadn’t heard any news, so we were like, OK, clearly we haven’t been chosen, so it looks like we’re not in the festival this year. Then, in what felt like the 11th hour, we got the acceptance e-mail, and we were shocked and stoked at the same time! So, we were riding that high, and then we received so much media and press interest around the film leading up to the festival. We were interviewed on ABC radio, FBi radio, and Garry Maddox interviewed us for the Sydney Morning Herald. Then winning the People Choice Award was just incredible, and I think it is actually the best award to win. It was a real journey, a real wild ride.
Yes, it’s an incredible achievement. So, Sophie, you studied a bachelor of Media Arts and Production at UTS and then started your own company, SoSavy. What were some of the things you learned from that experience?
So many things. So, in the last semester of uni, I interned at a small boutique production company where I learnt many hands-on practical skills in video filming and editing and how to run a small business. That internship was almost like a really intensive three-month course, so when I left uni and that internship, I dove straight into freelancing.
During my time freelancing as a videographer and photographer, I learned about the importance of fostering good client relationships, having good communication skills, and never making any assumptions. I realised very quickly the importance of asking many questions and establishing expectations with jobs and timelines. One tricky thing to learn when you’re just starting is knowing your worth and how much value you place on your time and skills. It’s very easy to be like oh, charge this much for this, or this much for this, but understanding the right balance takes time to figure out.
Once you gain more knowledge and skills and become better at your craft, you can then charge more, but you have to learn as you go. It ends up being a lot of failing fast and learning quickly.
Are there any recommendations you have for students looking to try freelance work?
The one thing that I think is so important, which I think led to a lot of my success, is that I would just show up to events like networking events just to meet and get to know people. In fact, one of my oldest clients is someone I met in a class at UTS. She was looking for someone to film a promo video for her dance school, so we created a video together and still work together to this day.
The other important thing to know is that although I have Instagram, Facebook, and a website, my best marketing tool has always been word of mouth. The more people you meet, the more jobs you do, and the more people will refer you to more people. Building good relationships is like a currency. So, show up to stuff, and put yourself out there making connections in your industry. That’s probably like my #1 tip. And then, from there, it’s a lot easier. You never know who you might meet.
Yeah, definitely. Since then, you’ve started a production company, The Story Mill, with Evicted’s director, Rowan Devereux. What’s your current role in that organisation, and what inspired you to start that venture?
Starting The Story Mill happened very organically. Rowan and I met in 2015 in a coworking space called Vibewire, just up the road from UTS on Harris street. Over 3-4 years, we worked on each other’s projects, from corporate jobs to short films. Then, we landed an opportunity to produce a TV commercial, and after that experience, we had a moment where we were like, hey, maybe we could make a production company from this? We had a whole team that came on board to make that commercial, and it was the biggest budget project we’d done at the time. So, we sat down and went, OK, our skill sets really complement each other, and we made this great product. Let’s build a company and grow something.
So that’s how The Story Mill was born in 2018.
We call ourselves a boutique production company, managing a team of about five and overseeing all areas of the business and projects. We are both the creative producers and directors of the company and wear many hats and perform many different jobs every day.
What is also unique about the way Rowan and I work is that we mix it up a bit. We don’t always work in a conventional way. We can both direct and produce on set, which can confuse people. Sometimes they’re like, who’s the director, who’s who? To which I go, we come as a package. We make our own rules.
The company is set up so that we have two sides to the business – the creative and corporate arms. The commercial/corporate work is our bread and butter, which feeds into the creative side, such as podcasts, short films and feature films like Evicted.
I love that, the kind of flexibility you get when you’re comfortable working with someone. It sounds like you’ve had a lot of experience already. What have been some of your career’s most significant challenges and highlights so far?
The biggest challenge, but also the biggest highlight, would be producing Evicted. It is the most significant thing I’ve done in my career so far. Producing a feature film is like climbing a mountain over many months. We shot over five weeks, and it was the most intense five weeks of my life, I think. The post-production also takes time and can be tedious, and then finding distribution for an indie film comes with a whole new set of challenges, navigating uncharted territory. But boy! It’s been a steep learning curve, and it feels like I’ve just completed a two years master’s degree on ‘how to fund, produce and sell a film’. But it’s been awesome.
There are always challenges, like working with demanding clients. That’s a day-to-day challenge, and navigating that and how to set expectations. I’ve gotten better at it. But some people are more challenging than others; some jobs are more complicated than others. It’s now trying to gauge that before you enter into a project, sometimes like spotting out where the red flags are or the challenging people. And yeah, making that journey as smooth as you can.
As for highlights, they’re easy.
This year, I directed my first short documentary, Inspire Me, funded by the Screen Ability Program, which also premiered at the Sydney Film Festival.
We also made a short queer film called Peach in 2019, which did really well on the film circuit. So that was a real highlight to see how successful that became, and we are actually making a sequel to it called Pineapple next year, which I am very excited about.
I’ve also been lucky enough to meet and work on projects with some really awesome people and idols of mine, including Tracey Spicer, Michael Kirby and most recently, Paralympian Ellie Cole and writer, disability, and women’s rights advocate Hannah Diviney.
When you work with lots of clients, they always bring in more connections. Sometimes you don’t know who you’re filming, and you’re filming someone like Julia Gillard or taking photos of Dylan Alcott. So, that’s always fun and keeps things interesting.
That’s so cool—so many incredible connections. We’re coming to the end of the interview, but before we go, I’d love to know: if you could tell your university-self one thing, what would you tell them?
Uni was an interesting time for me as I’m not an academic and have always been creative at heart. So if I could go back, I would tell myself to focus my time and energy on my passions and strengths. Get the hands-on skills and not worry too much about the rest. I’d tell myself to have fun and know that the real world is very different to uni, but foster good relationships with your peers.
It was great to sit down and chat with Sophie and hear more about her career journey. If you’re interested in catching Evicted! A Modern Romance, the film is being shown at the Brisbane International Film Festival on the 5th and 6th of November, so head to their website to book tickets. There is also a screening at The Ritz in Sydney on the 11th of December, so book tickets now if you want to check it out closer to home! You can also follow The Story Mill’s Instagram or Facebook page to stay in the loop about any other upcoming screenings.

Can’t offer MBA, PGDM from same building: AICTEUpdated: Feb 12, 2020 00:31 IST
Management institutes that also offer postgraduate diplomas in management (PGDM) will now have to run the two courses from separate institutes, according to the All India Council for Technical Education’s (AICTE) recently-released Approval Handbook 2020-21. The new rules will be applicable from the next academic year (2020-21).
AICTE said the new rule requiring separate infrastructure and resources for diplomas and PG degrees is in response to complaints from local inquiry committees (LICs), which inspect institutes when the latter apply for affiliation. Students have complained that they were confused and even misled on occasion about the demarcation of faculty, fees and infrastructure between PGDM and Masters in business administration (MBA) courses in some colleges.
“While MBA institutes are affiliated to a particular university, PGDM courses need no affiliation but need AICTE approval to run classes. We have increasingly noticed how the LICs are fooled by the institutes about infrastructure and faculty which might be registered for an MBA school, but are highlighted as that of a PGDM course,” said Anil Sahasrabudhe, chairman, AICTE.
Senior council officials said the process of affiliation regularly gets delayed due to such problems, and the new rules are meant to prevent such delays.
In some cases, colleges that run both PGDM and MBA courses have also proposed the same fees for both courses to the respective state fee regulating authorities.
“Despite sharing the infrastructure as well as the faculty in some cases, many of these institutes claim that their professors for both courses are equally qualified and deserve the same salary. Therefore, they demand the same fees for both courses,” said a senior AICTE official.
However, among business schools, there is concern that the changes may force many to stop PGDM courses.
“Separating the courses into two different institutes means starting one of the courses from scratch, which is a challenge most institutes will not be open to,” said the spokesperson of a city-based management institute, on condition of anonymity.
Representatives of the institutes plan to discuss their concerns with AICTE.
