Mexico City. By Abraham Gonzalez (.). The stagnant Economy of mexico, whose expectations for 2020 have been worsened by the outbreak of coronavirus and the drop in oil prices, will find in the collapse of the peso against the dollar a kind of containment mesh for the following year due to the exporting vocation of the country, experts said.
The second largest economy in Latin America, which sends 80% of its exports to the United States, could contract this year up to 5% also dragged down by a dramatic drop in consumption and investment, according to renewed forecasts by major financial groups.
But in 2021, it would take on new vigor helped by increased trade and a low basis for comparison, experts said, who also anticipate that the effects of the virus will be diluted by then.
“The large depreciation of the peso, while probably a short-term contraction, will eventually help Mexico recover faster,” said Carlos Capistrán, chief economist for Mexico at Bank of America.
“Mexico is a very open economy whose total trade with the United States is equivalent to 60% of its Gross Domestic Product,” he added.
In the last five weeks, since a global sale of risky assets began, the peso has lost almost 30% against the dollar, reaching around 23.60 units on Thursday and becoming the most depreciated emerging currency in that period, according to data from Refinitiv Eikon.

The last, but minor, shock to the depreciation of the peso occurred in early 2017, when it fell 20% within two months, amid Donald Trump’s political rhetoric against Mexico.
In that year and the two subsequent ones, exports grew at an average rate of 7%, compared to an average drop of 0.5% in the previous three years, attributed by economists to the cheaper prices of Mexican products abroad due to the weakness of the weight.
Unlike other episodes, the Mexican economy faces new challenges amid the shock of volatility and the collapse of the currency, since in addition to a rise in imports, the prospects for investment deteriorated.
The government of President Andrés Manuel López organized a popular consultation to stop the construction of a Constellation Brands beer plant in the north of the country, which “sent a signal that there is no legal certainty,” BBVA México said in a note to clients.
SHOCK TO ARRIVE
In 2019, Mexico, the main trade partner of the United States, had record exports of more than 460,000 million dollars, and had its first annual trade surplus in eight years, also encouraged by a collapse in imports, according to official figures.
“In a recessive context, it would be even worse to have an appreciated weight. In the long run, it will be a competitive weight … the movement in the exchange rate works as a buffer to a certain extent because it can have side effects,” Alberto said. Ramos, chief economist for Mexico at Goldman Sachs.
“The economy is expected to have a robust recovery in 2021, also because the (comparison) base will be very low,” he added.
The experts also said that the definitive approval of the renewed TMEC trade agreement is a positive factor, since the North American region could be strengthened after the trade war between the United States and China.
However, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been criticized for dismissing the effects of the virus on the local economy and has said that he has the resources to face the situation and favor the poor majority of the nation of 126 million inhabitants.
Given the lower local economic activity and the strong impact expected from abroad, various financial groups have cut their growth estimates, as well as consumption and investment in the following quarters.
“The consumption shock in Mexico has not yet come because the (restriction) measures have not yet been imposed, but when they are put in place, consumption is going to fall by 20-30%,” said Benito Berber, chief economist for Mexico at Natixis .

Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 plays an important role in the development of cancer and has been recognized as a potential therapeutic target. Because nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are able to inhibit the activity of this enzyme, the potential efficacy of such drugs for purposes of cancer prevention or therapy is an area of intense research. Therefore, it is of critical importance to unequivocally determine the expression levels of COX-2 protein in tumor cells. In this regard, there are several conflicting reports in the literature where the same type of tumor cell lines were reported as COX-2 positive and as COX-2 negative. We found that during Western blot analysis of COX-2 positive and COX-2 negative cells, different antibodies to COX-2 protein are able to generate strong signals, which are false-positives and can be confused with COX-2. Thus, we believe that some of the conflicting reports on COX-2 expression in tumor cell lines could be the result of improper interpretation of the Western blot signals. Here, we present some of these pitfalls and suggest the inclusion of appropriate controls to unequivocally identify COX-2 protein levels.

The Norton Anthology of English Literature’s introduction to the sixteenth century begins with the same question CS Lewis did in his “New Learning and New Ignorance” essay: where did the great literature from the end of the century came from? England started the century as a backward nation in the eyes of Europe, and the most famous piece of literature it produced in the century’s first forty years (Utopia) was written in Latin.
Like Lewis, the authors seek to outline the social changes and intellectual atmosphere that encouraged writers like Spenser, Sidney, and Shakespeare to emerge. Continue reading “NAEL Sixteenth-Century Intro Summary”

The Kansas City Health Department has recognized 269 food establishments with top grades for inspections in 2013.
The department recognized full-service restaurants, fast-food operations, school cafeterias, bakeries, convenience stores, grocery stores and others with its annual Grade A Food Excellence Awards. The award is valid for one year and is based on cumulative inspection reports throughout 2013.
The Health Department said excellence is most fully achieved when food service management fully endorses employee education and training. So the awards go to establishments that have exhibited excellence in sanitation and food safety, as well as employee education.
All food establishments in Kansas City are inspected regularly by the department, and if they are open, they have passed their inspections. Those receiving the excellence award, approximately eight percent of the city’s 3,400 permitted food establishments, substantially exceeded the standards of the food code.
The2013 award winners
include: Amigoni Urban Winery, Andre’s Confiserie Suisse, Anton’s Taproom butcher shop, Balsano’s Gelato Cafe, Blue Parkway Sunfresh bakery, Cupcake A La Mode, Eden Alley, the Green Lady Lounge, Fervere bakery, Higher Grounds Cafe, Joe’s Pizza Buy the Slice, Johnny Jo’s Pizzeria, Jovito’s Italian Cafe, McGonigle’s Market deli, Novel Kansas City, Paul’s Drive-In, Seasons 52, 7-Eleven deli on Independence Avenue, Taqueria Silva’s, and The Better Cheddar.
Many of the venues at Arrowhead Stadium, Kauffman Stadium and World’s of Fun also made the list.
The restaurants are listed under risk factors — low, moderate or high — depending the complexity of their menu.

Moyale Barracks will host Mighty Tigers today as the Mzuzu based soldiers are looking for a first win in the second round of the Tnm Super League game.
Assistant coach for Moyale Prichard Mwansa said they will fight to get a win after a loss and two draws in the second round of the Super League.
“We want to return to our winning form. For us, what remains is to perform and bring in maximum results,” he said.
Mwansa also said second round is always tough as every team wants to collect points.
“Second round always becomes tough because every team don’t want to drop any point. We have one player red carded and Gasten Simkonda who is still nursing his injury but the rest are there to fight for points against Tigers,” said Mwansa.
In his remark, Tigers coach Trevor Kajawa said losing against Hammers will not affect their play against Moyale.
“These are two different games and different teams, let’s forget about what happened and concentrate on Monday’s game against Moyale, and believe me people will watch a good game,” said Kajawa.
Tigers will play Moyale after losing 1-0 to Ekwendeni Hammers on Sunday.
Moyale are on position 9 with 26 points, while Tigers are the bottom of the league with 14 points in the Tnm Super League log table.

Music in our life and its efects
What I feel about music...
When I think about music,lots of thoughts come to my mind and help me define feelings and opinions.Many memories and events rewind into my mind, giving me a state of happiness.Music is very important to me!The lyrics and the melody lines give me energy, transposing me in a completely diffrent person.
I begin my daily activity by listening to music:the musical alarm from my phone whispers me “Good morning” in slow guitar arrangements.The song gives me strength, makes me feel alive, provides me joy and self-confidence, making me forget about sleeping. This is one of the moments when I strongly believe that music is important to me.
I often listen to music so loud that I don’t realize I disturb the others:I get out of this world and get into another one, known only by me.I think the world could be better through sounds and their harmony.
In my opinion,everybody has a soul song: no matter it is slow or lively, it exists.I use to listen to pop-rock music, but sometimes I listen to dance music,too.My favourite song is like a spell for me: the sounds penetrate my ear… they move on from ear to brain and there is only a step until I get to hum the song all day long.It often happens to relax by thinking in sounds:I start singing and quikly forget about my problems and the daily work.
I love it when I hang out with my friends in summer camps and sing mountain songs near the camp fire.In those moments I feel music connects us, being like a bridge between souls.The lyrics and song transform different people into one single model.In other words, music makes us equal.
I listen to my favorite band’s music no matter where and when. Their lyrics make me say it is worth living.When I feel the need of communication with someone through sounds,I call my friends and start singing together.
Having this said I can certainly say that music is a way of expressing yourself, a means through which we become equal and a healthy way of thinking.
Part of our lives
|We should preserve traditions||[National contest]- traditional costumes and music...there are part of our lives,too.|
Joy your life!
Music in my life...
When I'm listening to music , my mind escapes from reality.It creates a better world, filled with joy and optimism.
When listening to my favorite song , my heart feels the same emotion as I would listen to it for the first time.
I always wake up by turning on the radio, and listening to music.The little birds chirping and the barking of my dogs make my awakening more pleasant and lively.Then,I'm trying to listen to music all day long.My favorite songs follow me everywhere, because I always sing! Even if I don't have the most beautiful voice in the world, I try to cheer up myself and my friends by huming our favorite hits.Music gives me a state of happiness ,helping me to get over difficult moments in my life ,too.
I love all kinds of music , but in my soul, folk music remains the first.Playing the guitar is one of my hobbies , because the songs are requesting enjoyable guitar arrangements.
For me , music is indispensable.I can not imagine my life without it!
I love music ,I love singing.
I love everything that means music...
Talk to music
I will say some words about the role of music in my life through a poem I composed one late night.I think it best expresses how I feel about music and its efects in my life...
I have to mention that I consider "Music" my true soulmate, no matter it is rock, pop or folk.I couldn't live without music; it is the most important part of my spiritual life.If I didn't listen to music I would have a feeling of emptiness in my heart.Music also represents a sort of ideal, untouchable part of my soul.It's like a remote, exotic island where we forget about worries, fears and troubles.
It doesn't matter when
Written with a pen...
Who are you?
Certainly not a man.
Who knows how to feel you,without telling a word?
Oh, somebody tell me why I am alone.
You're a friend for all
Touch, feel, love a soul...
Oh,my music, where are you?
All is empty and too blue.
Come along and walk with me
Through the person I want to be.
Oh,my music, where are you?
Come all over, make it true.
You help me find peace when I'm confused,
Laughing at me when I'm amused,
Giving hope when I'm let down,
Showing love when all goes wrong,
Bringing memories around.
You're always somewhere:
Could you play the guitar in my nightmare?
Wake me up in the morning
By giving me a telephone ring.
It sounds soft as I can swing
In the rythm of the spring.
If you could talk sincerely
Are you a unique symphony
Made especially for me?
Cause you can take away a tear
And make the pain disappear.
Well, there's nobody here
To see that you have finally appear
And I will hear, without a fear.
Music in my life
Music is the art of combining sounds in a pleasant way by voices or instruments.
Even I don’t play an instrument and have no musical talent I get pleasure out of listening to music.
I enjoy a great variety of music, from classical to rock, just like millions of music fans around the world.
Music is part of my life. I listen to it every day, whenever I can. That’s why my iPod follows my everywhere. Even though I listen to different kinds of music, I still have some preferences: pop and dance. In my opinion, liking music doesn’t depend on education. Instead it speaks directly to the emotions. Music makes me more sensitive, understanding, and caring. It also relaxes me
All in all I feel that I enjoy listening to music and this enjoyment is “real”.
This pictures perfectly proove that ordinary people are concerned in music.For some of us it is a way of living...
The central square in Wien was full of locals showing their talent.
How does music influence your life?
Do you have moments when you feel that music inspires you?
From what you said we can conclude that music is important in everyone's life and helps you pass over difficult moments in life, being like a medicine.

Ron de Venezuela is a Controlled Denomination of Origin —Appellation Contrôlé—, granted to the finest aged rums in the world: the rums from Venezuela, the country were I was born and raised.
Today is August 15th and tomorrow will be National Rum Day in the U.S. To celebrate, I want to talk about the so close to my heart Ron de Venezuela.
This denomination of origin is an indication used to distinguish these añejos, whose quality, reputation, and other distinctive characteristics, are attributable to the region where they are produced.
There are five elements that give Ron de Venezuela its unique character:
- The tropical climate of sunny days, cool nights, constant winds and abundant rainfall.
- The richness of the soils in which the juiciest sugar cane has been cultivated since the 16th century.
- The molasses of exceptional quality that is extracted from the sugar cane and it’s distilled to transform it in alcohol.
- The pure water from springs and wells, which is mixed with alcohol that is then aged in oak barrels, for a period that, according to Venezuelan legislation, must be at least two years.
- The experience of those who make Ron de Venezuela, based on the tradition handed down by the rum masters of the 19th and 20th centuries.
For many years I worked for Ron Santa Teresa, an independent family group and the oldest producer of Ron de Venezuela. Thanks to my work, I have written about the history of rum, its economy, and the processes that make it possible to produce such a fine spirit.
In 2008 the Fund for the Promotion of Ron de Venezuela was established. It brings together the distilleries that produce the añejos holding the Controlled Denomination of Origin Ron de Venezuela. Since then, I’ve been working for them as content strategist and creator.
But since I live in the United States, first in Southern California and now in South Florida, I can say that I am experiencing a true rebirth of rum. Not only have I seen rum bars open all over the world, but I am discovering and learning about the pleasures of rum as an ingredient in the most sophisticated cocktails and the protagonist of this new trend of ‘mixology’ in which drinks are prepare with fresh ingredients.
These are the pleasures that I want to share with you today…
Cheers and happy National Rum Day!

Firmino experiment fails
Trust Jurgen Klopp to throw the kind of curveball that made people stop talking about the missing Roberto Firmino. At least for a little while.
Firmino's potential absence had been much-debated during the build-up as a plethora of options were considered by Liverpool supporters.
But when the teamsheet dropped the only conversation was just how the Reds were going to line up with a starting XI that, ostensibly, contained a goalkeeper, three centre-backs, a left-back, four central midfielders and two wingers.
Few would have guessed the answer, Gini Wijnaldum operating in the Firmino role up top, albeit having started briefly at the tip of a midfield diamond.
For the first 10 minutes it appeared a masterstroke from Klopp as Liverpool took the game to Barcelona.
However, the longer the half progressed, the more it became obvious the Reds were missing the focal point offered by Firmino, not least with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah having such joy down their respective flanks.
The Liverpool fans perched high up inside Camp Nou sang Firmino's song during the half-time break, almost a plea for his introduction.
But while Wijnaldum improved, it wasn't until the game was sliding away that Klopp introduced the Brazilian, too little too late despite the forward having a shot cleared off the line.
Klopp's experiment was a mirror of Liverpool's performance. It promised much for so long, but ultimately delivered little.
Defending the defence
Conceding three goals for only the second time this season smacks of a defence that lost its way at Camp Nou.
But that wasn't quite the reality for Liverpool on an evening when the brilliance of Lionel Messi warped everything around him.
Joel Matip, as has been the case for much of the calendar year, was excellent, while Andy Robertson's relentless running in both directions down the left flank caught the eye.
If anything, it was Virgil van Dijk, the newly-crowned PFA Player of the Year, who appeared the more affected by Barcelona's attacking might, his famed composure at times missing.
Klopp made a big call at right-back by benching Trent Alexander-Arnold and handing Joe Gomez his first start since suffering a fractured leg in early December.
For an hour, it seemed a sound choice. But in that difficult closing third, Gomez's lack of match practice and preference of playing at centre-back became all too evident.
There was the strange sight towards the end of Alisson Becker edging forward when Liverpool forced an injury-time corner in search of an away goal, only for Robertson to usher him back.
Ultimately, Liverpool were indebted to the goalkeeper for some late saves to ensure they have at least a glimmer of hope next Tuesday at Anfield.
Suarez gotta Suarez – and Liverpool can't mope
Lionel Messi will dominate the headlines. But, in retrospect, it should have been obvious Liverpool's evening of woe would be sparked by one man in particular.
Luis Suarez performed such heroics during his time at Liverpool that he remains an idol to the Kop, arguably the most exciting player to feature for the club in the Premier League era.
And every single reason Suarez was adored by the Anfield masses was on show here – only in opposition.
This was the Uruguayan at his snarling, snarky best, the wind-up merchant par excellence, in the faces of Liverpool's defenders throughout and even in the ear of referee Bjorn Kuipers as the teams came out for the start of the second half.
If it was slightly surprising to see Barcelona moaning their way through the first leg, it shouldn't have been, such is their desire to win this trophy. You could almost smell the desperation.
The same can be said for Liverpool in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
That remains a possibility. And with Newcastle United up next on Saturday night, there can be no sulking after this loss, although Klopp faces a serious test of his motivational powers to rouse his devastated players.
The 4,620 Liverpool fans inside Camp Nou, perched high in the fourth tier behind perspex screens and netting, sang long after the final whistle.
They still believe. And having come this far, it would be daft for Liverpool to stop now.

NYC 25mph Speed Limit high hopes to reduce traffic fatalities.
The New York City Department of Transportation has unveiled its new 25 mph speed limit signs, and the new speed limit is law effective Friday, November 7th. It’s been 30 miles per hour since 1965. So heads up weekend visitors driving into our beautiful city, including cab drivers and their drunk drivers.
Mayor Bill de Blasio last month signed a measure reducing the city’s speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph. The City Council passed the measure as part of the mayor’s “Vision Zero” plan to reduce traffic deaths.
“I think there’s a real consensus in this town that we need to have people drive more carefully, more safely, and slower for the protection of our kids, our seniors,” the mayor said.
Last week, Mayor de Blasio signed a law lowering New York City’s 30-miles-per-hour speed limit to 25. The change is the centerpiece of de Blasio’s Vision Zero plan to drastically reduce New York City traffic deaths, which numbered 291 last year. (To compare: The city saw 333 murders during the same period.) The majority of those killed were on foot when they were struck by cars or other vehicles, and the new speed limit is explicitly intended to protect pedestrians (even — or perhaps especially — the jaywalkers.) “When drivers are driving below 25 miles an hour, it gives them much more time to avoid crashes, gives drivers and pedestrians more time to see each other, greatly intensifies the opportunity to save lives,” said de Blasio at the signing, which took place at the Delancey Street intersection named after Dashane Santana, a 12-year-old killed by a minivan there in 2012.
Paul Ajlouny, New York personal Injury lawyer weighs in on the new 25mph speed limit. “This is ground breaking for New York City. Statistics show that a pedestrian has a 45 percent chance of surviving a collision when struck by a vehicle going less that 30mph, Lets just hope that with the new speed limit in place drivers will comply with the new ordinance and pedestrians will also do their part in avoiding getting hit by a car by by being attentive before crossing the street.” Say’s Mr. Ajlouny.
“This is going to be really interesting to watch once the lower speed limit is implemented, says Mr. Ajlouny, will bikers, cabbies and express bus running in the city start to slow down? Once all these motorists starts to receive summons from NYPD they might start to acknowledge the serious attempt to save lives”. On the flip side our police force is going to be busy writing up citations, rather than fight a rising crime rate in the city.” adds Mr. Ajlouny.
The new law still will allow Speeds of 30 miles per hour on parkways, expressways, and high-traffic “arterial” roads, such as Queens Boulevard and Staten Island’s Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Avenue. Meanwhile, school zones and other areas in need of what is called “traffic calming” will continue to have speed limits lower than 25 miles per hour. Streets with speed limits that are not 25 miles per hour should be clearly marked.
The 25 miles per hour will be the rule on about 90 percent of streets throughout the five boroughs including airports, highway exits, and other entry points to the city. However, as with the old speed limit, drivers who don’t see speed signage of any kind (which is the norm) are expected to assume that they should keep it to 25.
The new speed limit applies to all!
This new speed limit will be expected of cyclists, who are often hurt or killed when hit by cars. Just this last year alone 113 pedestrians and 18 cyclists have died in New York City traffic accidents.

Will your church join the fight for climate justice?
Nicaragua is one of the three countries in the world worst affected by weather catastrophes, and the UN has warned that storms here will only get worse. In November 2020, Hurricane Iota caused devastation across the region with millions of people affected. Homes and crops were flattened.
These emergencies push back the country's economic development.
Christian Aid works with local communities in Nicaragua to monitor and adapt to the climate crisis. As climate change is affecting the coffee yield, we are supporting local communities to diversify their crops with cocoa plants.

The Crown's third album starts out as a promising fusion of extreme death metal and melodic elements with the excellent title track before slipping into a predictable and lifeless pattern thereafter. I expected more from what is, in some ways, an off-shoot of the legendary melodic death metal band At the Gates, featuring the vocal talents of hatemonger extraordinaire Tomas Lindberg, while the band's links with the Haunted (another sort-of At the Gates spin-off) added further intrigue, even though that band has never impressed me too much. Unfortunately, the result isn't that much different from the rest of the Swedish death metal scene, merely faster and ... Read the complete review

Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
This passage tells us about how Jesus endured the cross for us and is now seated at the right hand at throne of God …It reveals that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith…..
Our Lord Jesus in all His Glory has written our story for us….It is a story of divine love, joy, patience, peace, wisdom, truth, faith, hope, health, and prosperity. It is a story of victory over sin and death…which allows to live as eternal beings in this time because we have His spirit within us and We now live with heaven open all around us.…that is if you are in Christ and if you’re not than we declare by faith that today the heavens will open over you and Jesus will reveal himself to you!!!
You see the only problem with our beautiful story is the Editor…whose name is Satan…He comes as a thief in the night, to kill, steal and destroy…Satan is always trying to insert things into our story, such as sickness and sin…fear, panic, anxiety, anger, frustration, addiction, oppression, depression and yes even sometimes possession!! The editor tries to take out all the wonderful blessings that our Saviour has written into our life story …. He is a relentless, ruthless adversary and he hates our happy ending!!!
But the Lord knew before the foundation of the world that the adversary would come to challenge His Saints; So He equipped us with ministry gifts and gifts of the spirit and a voice of strength that could reach the throne room of heaven through petition and prayers.
God is raising up Apostolic houses; it is a ministry gift from God .With an apostolic commission comes great authority…and in that authority principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places are destroyed. It is a breakthrough anointing. The authority comes in the commission or the calling of the Apostolic, However the power is only released in the encounter and this year God is asking His Saints to raise the standards; as we raise the standard we raise our expectation for God and from God….. It is time for the Saints to encounter the power, so we may release it into the world.
So today if the editor has been stealing your Story and you need the editor’s plans VETOED out of your life; Join us in prayer…..When you come to Christ in prayer come expecting an encounter… A divine moment between you and your Holy Lord…. come confessing that you have received from the Lord today!!!
In Jesus Name Amen!!
May God Bless You, Keep You and Prosper You in all things ♥ ~Sincerely Cindy

Interpretive Summary: Small plot trials conducted in Montana have documented that grazing sheep on fallow fields can reduce over wintering Wheat stem sawfly larvae and improve weed management compared to conventional farming practices without impacting soil bulk density. We conducted field-scale trials examining wheat stem sawfly (WSS) larval mortality, weed density, and soil bulk density in grazed and ungrazed areas. Sheep grazing increased WSS mortality and decreased weed density compared to non-grazed controls. Soil bulk density, a measure of compaction, did not differ between sheep grazed and non-grazed areas.
Technical Abstract: In dryland farming areas of Montana annual precipitation is not sufficient for annual planting of cereal grains. Instead, a crop-summer fallow farming system is used to conserve soil moisture and increase available nitrogen for subsequent crop growth. Six fields, located on four commercial Montana grain operations, were grazed by sheep and goats from October, 2002 to May, 2003 to determine the impact grazing has on wheat stem sawfly populations, weed and volunteer cereal growth, and soil compaction. Percent wheat stem sawfly larval mortality and percent reduction of weed biomass was greater in grazed compared to non-grazed areas (P<0.01). No differences in soil compaction were found between treatments (P>0.73). Grazing fallow with sheep and goats appears to successfully improve wheat stem sawfly and weed management in grain production systems without impacting soil compaction.

On October 11, a ceremony and reception at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC/CUNY) celebrated the Fall 2018 Out in Two inductees, a cohort of 25 students selected from a pool of 113 applicants, according to Richard Naughton, who coordinates the program with fellow Senior Academic Advisor Jonathan Matamoros.
Among other strengths—including their community service and resilience—the scholars hold exceptional Grade Point Averages, or GPAs.
“We are very proud of this semester’s cohort. The students possess very impressive academic records. Nine of the 25 cohort members have a 4.0 GPA, and all but one of the new scholars has a GPA higher than 3.5; the lowest GPA is 3.48,” said Naughton.
BMCC Interim President Karrin E. Wilks delivered welcome remarks to the new cohort of scholars, who gathered along with their friends, family, classmates and members of the BMCC community in Richard Harris Terrace at the college’s main campus.
“We know that you have already been successful, that you have distinguished yourselves as students and citizens,” Wilks said. “Your commitment is inspiring to us. The world needs more smart, dedicated, tenacious leaders to make a difference not only in your careers and communities, but to make the world a better place for all of us.”
Acting Provost Erwin Wong told the Out in Two scholars, “We have nothing but the highest expectation that you will make us proud. We are confident we will see you doing many great things in your time at BMCC and beyond.”
Doris Holz, Vice President of Development and Chief Operating Officer of the BMCC Foundation congratulated the inductees, “on behalf of myself and the entire BMCC Foundation Board,” she said. “There is a lot of talent and hard work in this group of scholars. You are an inspiration to us all.”
Donors and dedicated staff ensure success of Out in Two scholars
Out in Two, a program unique to BMCC, provides support to help high-achieving students graduate within two years and transfer to a senior college. Out in Two scholars are closely mentored by BMCC faculty and staff. They solve academic challenges together, share resources and build networks that extend into their professional careers.
The Out in Two cohorts have doubled in size in the last few years, and that growth has been supported by donations from the BMCC Foundation, the Derfner Foundation, the Meringoff Family Foundation and the Southpole Foundation.
“We are grateful for the ongoing, generous donations of leading foundations who understand the value of supporting a cohort or small group program,” says Vice President Holz. “Out in Two, a close-knit learning community at BMCC, has proven to build student retention and success. The Out in Two scholars have earned an overall two-year graduate rate of 91 percent, and transfer to prestigious institutions including Cornell University, New York University, Vassar, Smith College and many others.”
The ceremony’s alumni speaker, Bhawna Seth (’17, Communication Studies), served as Out in Two Club President and has been accepted to Baruch College, CUNY. Today, she works as a College Assistant at BMCC for the Panther Partners program in the Office of Student Affairs.
Seth shared her experience in Out in Two. Having grown up in India, in a family of “many girls,” she said, “many things in our lives were determined by our gender.” At BMCC, she found mentors who “supported my freedom to experiment, and to take risks without being judged. Each of us has his or her own unique way to contribute.”
This year’s Out in Two scholars
Out in Two scholar and liberal arts major Wendy Ihama said she appreciates the program’s one-on-one advising, and trips such as one planned for next week to the United Nations in midtown Manhattan.
“I want to study international relations once I graduate from BMCC, and eventually work as a foreign service officer,” she said. “The Out in Two program helps us complete our degrees but also helps us plan for the future and transfer to a bachelor’s degree program.”
Simon Dybowksi, an Out in Two scholar and video arts and technology major said what he likes about the program “is our community of students who are focused on their careers and doing well in their studies.”
In the past few years, he said, he has been creating content for videos, and wants to produce documentaries that focuses on issues related to children, who he works with through community service projects.
The Fall 2018 Out in Two scholarship recipients include Yetunde Adesunloro, Ingrid Becker, Barbara Bessa, Fernando Campos, Chiara Cutelli, Claudia Daporta, Richard Dias, Mamadou Doumbia, Szymon (Simon) Dybowski, Simcha Goldwurm, Wendy Ihama, Patrick Izidro De Souza, Regina Jackson, Monette Jacobs, Jean Lacap, Angie Maldonado Rodriguez, Moyosore Omolayo, Miriam Palma, Nino Pateishvili, Kevin Romeus, Lylia Saurel, Kate Sukhnandan, Gabriela Vassallo, Tingting Wu and Rei Yoshida.

New Blog Series: Art Words for Wonderers
What is an art collection? The art world is full of jargon! This series of blog posts will define some of that jargon for you. Just like most industries, artists need expressive, accurate words to convey meaning. And yet, those who appreciate art are not always familiar with the terms. Let’s satisfy our curiosity concerning the word “Collection” as it relates to art.
What is an art collection?
There are so many ways to use the word collection, but you probably can get the general gist. Just look at the images above: there’s a book collection, a collection of seaside items, and waste collection. Obviously a collection is “an accumulation of objects gathered for study, comparison, or exhibition or as a hobby “.
An art collection is a group of art pieces that have something in common. Generally the artist presents them together because the works are similar in message, subject, color palette or medium, or style. (Ah, you noticed some more of that jargon. Good catch. Please comment which one most puzzles you and I will put it on the list for a blog post!)
The message is what the artist is trying to say through their art. It may be something complex like
…or it could be something simple like “I went to the beach this summer and had a good time so I painted some of my memories which I think will also bring you good memories.” (psst. If you want some fun, click that link in the quote and waste some time putting in numbers to get ridiculous art jargon phrases.)
Artists tend to create work centered on subjects that interest them. For instance, you will find lots of flowers, animals, and landscapes in my work, but so far not too many cityscapes, portraits, or figure work.
The subject is just what you see in the work. People, ,flowers, buildings, landscapes. Even abstract work can have a subject–perhaps the color combinations, the value contrasts, or a particular emotion. (There are some more terms. Be sure to comment one you’d like to understand better.)
Similar Color Palette or Medium
An artist who works with color may choose a certain group of colors and create a series of works limited to those colors. No matter what the subject of each work is, the color palette will be similar.
Medium just refers to what the work is created from. Metal? Paint? Clay? Recycled materials? Pastel?
Every artist has their own style. It can’t be avoided…We are unique humans and therefore each person’s art will be unique. But artists can focus on a certain process or style and create a series of works within that which is cohesive. Just like using a group of colors, of tools, a certain process will all result in pieces that have something in common.
Using the word “Collection”
As a teacher and former home school mom, I will now present some examples of the use of the word “collection” in proper context for art.
For example, I have created three specific collections so far. They are of varying sizes, some have more pieces, some have less.
Here they are in chronological order:
My first official series collection doesn’t have a name. It was created out of my experience in Old Town Albuquerque and the result was somewhat of a surprise.
The “To Human is to Dance” collection was inspired by a subject–dance. I hope to eventually add to it, but it currently only contains four paintings. You can see three of them here.
“Dulcet Bling Dreams” is a collection of smaller pieces and greeting cards in a completely different medium for me. I usually work in pastels, but was inspired by an exercise in a course I was taking to try something different: watercolor, ink, and glitter! Read the story and click through to shop.
Soon I will be releasing my most recent collection (as of August 2020), titled Beaches and Creatures. I’ll bet you can guess the subject.
What Happens When a Collection is Released?
Every artist and gallery has their own way of presenting and exhibiting a collection. Each collection is so individual that the presentation can be uniquely tailored.
I have only recently begun to actually release my pieces in collections. So far I’m enjoying the ability to just lose myself in painting for awhile before I take some time to release it and share it with all of you. I’m also enjoying the direction and motivation provided by finding and working on a series of paintings that have something in common. I never run out of things I want to paint, but sometimes there are too many options to choose from!
My next release will be on Saturday August 15, 2020. My process for a release so far is this:
Several weeks before the release: I begin working on the next collection. Inspiration comes easily, I generally have an idea for what it will be. I’m able to spend time just sketching and then painting. You will notice posts appearing on Instagram, Facebook and in my Facebook group Merry.Matters (you should join…it’s been pretty quiet in there lately, and you will get a behind the scenes look at my life and process, with opportunities to help me title collections and paintings, see my paintings in progress, and talk about life, the universe and everything.)
Once I decide on a collection title, I’ll create a hashtag for it so that viewers can search all the different posts about it. Try searching this hashtag on instagram or in your browser to see how it works: #dulcetblingdreams .
48 hours before the release: All images are uploaded to my website, a special page is created which explains the story of the collection and links to a gallery of clickable links to each piece. The public is notified of the time and date of the release one last time. Guests (newsletter subscribers and a few other special people) are notified privately of the early release date and time and sent the link to the live chat Open Studio Release.
24 hours before the release: The Open Studio Release goes LIVE to guests in a private exhibition on YouTube. Guests access this through the link they received at the time stated in the email; and y’all, so far each of these has been SO. MUCH. FUN! I am live, right there on your screen where you can type comments and feedback and ask questions, as they say, “from the comfort of your own home”…or wherever you are. By the way For this release I’m adding the ability to purchase during the live.
The Official Release: After members (are you a Wonder Quester yet? Sign up here) have had 24 hours to shop, the release goes live to the public but members can also still shop, of course.
It’s a fun and exciting couple of days for all of us.
I’m releasing Beaches and Creatures is scheduled for August 14, 2020, 7 pm Central. Watch this space for announcements, or better yet, get on the guest list by signing up below and I’ll see you for the exclusive release on YouTube August 13, 2020, 7pm Central.

Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly has feelings for American TV personality and model Kendall Jenner. The Real Madrid star has apparently invited the 20-year-model to attend his match, while she is in the French capital during Paris Fashion Week, where she is walking for several luxury fashion houses.
A source told Hollywood Life: "With Kendall being in Paris for Fashion Week, Cristiano extended an invite to her to attend a Real Madrid game while she's in Europe."
"She may not have the time to go this week, but Cristiano made it an open invitation for her to come and see him play any time she wants," the insider added. "All she has to do is let him know."
"He's quite infatuated with her, and it won't be just all about watching him play soccer. He intends to take her out for a romantic dinner because he would love to date her," the source continued.
Meanwhile, during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, Ronaldo who was in a long-term relationship with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, revealed that he has several women in his life. During the chat, he claimed he is dating a "few" women at the moment in order to "figure out who is better."
"Well it's not easy, of course not," he said. "To speak serious, it's not easy. I know 50 per cent they approach just for interest, it's normal, not just me but all the people who are famous they have these kinds of problems. But in another way, I think I'm a confident guy, I'm tall, I have [my] own teeth, I have a nice body so I think the other 50 per cent it's because..."

According to railway sources, the semi-high speed (160-200 kmph) Vande Bharat test will be started before August 15. It is being told that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can flag off the train from Chennai.
New Delhi: There is great news for railway passengers. Now Indian Railways is preparing to launch a new version of the Vande Bharat train. Let us tell you that this will be the third such train in the country and it will be flagged off for testing on August 12 from the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. Giving this information on Tuesday, sources said that this train is likely to run on a special route in South India from November.
PM Narendra Modi will see the green signal
According to railway sources, the semi-high speed (160-200 kmph) Vande Bharat trial will be started before August 15. It is being told that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can flag off the train from Chennai. However, it is yet to be confirmed by the government. The new version of Vande Bharat will be tested from Kota in Rajasthan to the Nagda section of Madhya Pradesh. The test speed of the train will be 100 to 180 kmph. After success in two to three trials, the new Vande Bharat train can be approved for commercial operation.
Railway gave information
Railways has claimed that 75 Vande Bharat trains will start running on the tracks by August 15, 2023, as announced by Prime Minister Modi. ICF has a production capacity of six to seven Vande Bharat rakes (trains) every month and efforts are on to increase this number to 10.
Apart from this, Vande Bharat trains will also be manufactured at Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala and Modern Coach Factory in Rae Bareli. Sources said that the new Vande Bharat train has taken care of many aspects including safety and comfortable facilities for the passengers. Presently Vande Bharat train is being operated between Delhi to Katra and Delhi to Varanasi.

Nine Inch Nails releases Pretty Hate Machine
Pretty Hate Machine is the debut album by American industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails, released October 20, 1989, on TVT Records.
Pretty Hate Machine is compiled of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo, as well as tracks recorded after its recording. The album spawned three singles, the most successful being "Head Like a Hole", which has become a staple in Nine Inch Nails live performances.
The album became one of the first independently released records to attain platinum certification. On 12 May 2003 the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album triple platinum, denoting sales of three million in the United States. It was commercially and critically successful for a independent label, but Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails' only constant band member) feuded with TVT (the original publishing label of the album) during promotion. The album was out of print from around 1997 to 2005, due to the much publicized falling out between Reznor and the record label. Rykodisc re-released the album around the world in 2005, effectively putting the album back into print. A remastered version was released on November 22, 2010.

Walnut Street Theatre’s 2017-18 Independence Studio on 3 Season continues with Tony Award®-winner Ken Ludwig’s hilarious “whodunit” comedy, Baskerville, A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Philadelphia audiences will be the first to see this production before it becomes the eighth national and international tour of a Walnut Street Theatre production. Directed by Walnut favorite, Bill Van Horn, Baskerville, A Sherlock Holmes Mystery begins previews in the intimate Independence Studio on 3 at the Walnut on January 2, opens January 4 , and continues through February 4.

Ken Ludwig’s acclaimed stage adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1902 classic mystery, The Hound of the Baskervilles, is full of intrigue and… huge laughs. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being murdered one by one, and the renowned sleuth Sherlock Holmes, along with his trusted sidekick Dr. Watson, must work feverishly to crack the curse before it dooms the newest heir. Five talented actors, playing forty quirky characters, follow leads, unravel clues, hit dead-ends, and zigzag with the story until the shockingly funny conclusion.
Ken Ludwig has had six shows on Broadway, beginning with the critically acclaimed Lend Me a Tenor, which garnered Ludwig seven Tony nominations and two wins. His musical, Crazy for You, won the Tony Award and Olivier Award (England’s highest theatre honor) for Best Musical in 1992. Ludwig has also been awarded the Charles MacArthur Award, two Helen Hayes Awards, the Edgar Award for Best Mystery from The Mystery Writers of America, the SETC Distinguished Career Award, and the Edwin Forrest Award for Services to the American Theatre. Baskerville is one of his most recent works, along with A Comedy of Tenors and Tiny Tim’s Christmas Carol (2015 Helen Hayes Award nominee for Outstanding Play). His newest book, How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare, (winner of the Falstaff Award for Best Shakespeare Book of 2014) is published by Random House. The Walnut has produced many of Ludwig’s works including Lend Me a Tenor(1992), Crazy for You (1997), and Moon Over Buffalo (1998).
The show will be directed by Bill Van Horn.
In addition to directing the production, Van Horn will also play the iconic role of Dr. Watson. Joining Van Horn is another Walnut veteran and Philadelphia stage regular Ian Merrill Peakes, who will play the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Peakes returns to the Walnut for his 9th show (Harvey, Ideal Husband, Peter and the Starcatcher, Of Mice and Men, Great Expectations). Baskerville marks Peakes’ 124th professional stage production.
While Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes are played by Van Horn and Peakes, the other forty characters in the production are portrayed by just three comedic actors: Dan Hodge (Peter and the Starcatcher, The Mousetrap, 39 Steps); Jered McLenigan (Peter and the Starcatcher, Rise and Fall of Little Voice, Good People); and Sarah Glicko (Around the World in 80 Days, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, Musical of Musicals the Musical). All five comic actors have performed on many of Philadelphia’s regional stages and are proud members of the local theatre community.
Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville, A Sherlock Holmes Mystery will become the eighth Walnut Street Theatre production to embark on a national and international tour across the country. The Walnut celebrates Philadelphia’s finest talents and is proud to share them with America. The first seven tours of Walnut Street Theatre productions, all featuring Philadelphia artists, have included Last of the Red Hot Lovers, The Glass Menagerie, Proof, Around the World in 80 Days, Driving Miss Daisy, A Life in the Theatre, and A Moon for the Misbegotten.

What say we drop down the river together and make a day of it?
The inquisitive Mole abandons spring-cleaning his burrow and, to his delight, discovers the river. There he meets Ratty, a water vole with a passion for boats. Soon the two are firm friends and settle down to life in Ratty’s riverbank home, surrounded by the neighbouring otters, rabbits, fieldmice and hedgehogs.
Over at Toad Hall, the ebullient Toad persuades them to join an excursion in a horse-pulled caravan – only for disaster to strike when they are overturned into a ditch. But the accident ignites Toad’s passion for motorcars…
And Mole can’t resist the temptation of another adventure, braving the snowy and threatening Wild Wood to find the elusive Badger, who welcomes Mole and Rat into his own cosy home.
But can the three friends save Toad from the consequences of his terrible driving, and defeat their enemies, the hungry and wily weasels and ferrets?
Alan Bennett’s stage adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s 1908 story, originally seen at the National Theatre, has become a classic in its own right: faithful to the spirit of Grahame’s immortal characters while laced with Bennett’s inimitable wit, making this a delight for children and adults alike.
Dale Rooks, whose Chichester productions include The Butterfly Lion, The Midnight Gang and Pinocchio, directs a Chichester Festival Youth Theatre show that perfectly combines humour and enchantment with a delicious shiver of danger.
This amateur production of The Wind in the Willows is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. concordtheatricals.co.uk

"Photolytic Generation of Benzhydryl Cations and Radicals from Quaternary Phosphonium Salts: How Highly Reactive Carbocations Survive Their First Nanoseconds"J. Ammer, C. F. Sailer, E. Riedle and H. Mayr
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 134, 11481−11494 (2012)
UV irradiation (266 or 280 nm) of benzhydryl triarylphosphonium salts Ar2CH–PAr3+ X- yields benzhydryl cations Ar2CH+ and/or benzhydryl radicals Ar2CH•. The efficiency and mechanism of the photo-cleavage were studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis and by ultrafast spectroscopy with a state-of-the-art femtosecond transient spectrometer. The influences of the photo-electrofuge (Ar2CH+), the photo-nucleofuge (PPh3 or P(p-Cl-C6H4)3), the counterion (X- = BF4-, SbF6-, Cl-, or Br-) and the solvent (CH2Cl2 or CH3CN) were investigated. Photogeneration of carbocations from Ar2CH–PAr3+BF4- or SbF6- is considerably more efficient than from typical neutral precursors (e.g., benzhydryl chlorides or bromides). The photochemistry of phosphonium salts is controlled by the degree of ion pairing, which depends on the solvent and the concentration of the phosphonium salts. High yields of carbocations are obtained by photolyses of phosphonium salts with complex counterions (X- = BF4- or SbF6-), while photolyses of phosphonium halides Ar2CH–PPh3+ X- (X- = Cl- or Br-) in CH2Cl2 yield benzhydryl radicals Ar2CH• due to photo-electron transfer in the excited phosphonium halide ion pair. At low concentrations in CH3CN, the precursor salts are mostly unpaired, and the photo-cleavage mechanism is independent of the nature of the counter-anions. Dichloromethane is better suited for generating the more reactive benzhydryl cations than the more polar and more nucleophilic solvents CH3CN or CF3CH2OH. Efficient photo-generation of the most reactive benzhydryl cations (3,5-F2-C6H3)2CH+ and (4-(CF3)-C6H4)2CH+ was only achieved using the photo-leaving group P(p-Cl-C6H4)3) and the counter-anion SbF6- in CH2Cl2. The lifetimes of the photogenerated benzhydryl cations depend greatly on the decay mechanisms, which can be reactions with the solvent, with the photo-leaving group PAr3, or with the counter-anion X- of the precursor salt. However, the nature of the photo-leaving group and the counterion of the precursor phosphonium salt do not affect the rates of the reactions of the obtained benzhydryl cations toward added nucleophiles. The method presented in this work allows us to generate a wide range of donor- and acceptor-substituted benzhydryl cations Ar2CH+ for the purpose of studying their electrophilic reactivities.

Research studies Research studies generally provide stronger evidence than more anecdotal sources. These can be identified as they normally begin with a specific research question or aim which is addressed using an identified method, following which the results or findings, discussion and conclusions are given. They can be quantitative or qualitative and there are various approaches that can be taken within these broad areas. Research studies can provide good sources of evidence but they still need to be appraised individually.
In other words, what exactly should you be looking for? You may have heard of the term ‘hierarchy of evidence’. Strong evidence is at the top of the hierarchy and weaker evidence is at the bottom. Classifications as to what counts as strong evidence vary according to what you are trying to find out as we will see in the examples later on in this chapter. In general terms, you will find the literature review, in particular the systematic review at the top of the hierarchy of evidence in almost every classification you will come across.

The UFC’s new sponsorship deal with Reebok doesn’t officially kick off until July 2015, but that didn’t stop two of the octagon’s biggest superstars from signing early with the sports apparel company.
On Tuesday, Reebok announced endorsement partnerships with reigning UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones and bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (both pictured).
“Reebok is working with UFC to take the sport to the next level,” Jones stated. “It’s going to be an amazing journey and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of it. The brand has a great history in fitness and training, and that comes through in everything they do. What I’m particularly excited about is that the input of the fighters is going to drive the product innovation, which will ensure all athletes, whether they are fighting for a world championship or just to be fit, will have the very best gear.”
Jones had been searching for a new sponsor after his global deal with Nike concluded earlier this year.
“From the very beginning, it was clear to me that Reebok is passionately invested in our sport and its athletes,” Rousey said. “The team is committed to helping push our sport forward and I am proud to be part of it. Reebok understands what tough fitness means for women and what women need for their fitness lifestyle. Together we’re going to inspire even more people to train like fighters.”
Rousey has worn UFC-branded clothing for all four of her fights for the promotion.
Jones and Rousey join UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis and former welterweight title holder Johny Hendricks on the Reebok label.
By July 6th, all UFC athletes will be required to wear Reebok for all fight-week activities, including in their bouts. Fighters will pocket “the vast majority” of the $70 million the deal reportedly brought in over six years. Fighters will be paid a presently-unknown amount according to their ranking.
Champions negotiate their own deals with Reebok and earn the largest checks. Everyone else is tiered based on ranking (1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16+ receive a flat salary).
Fighters will also receive a 20 percent cut on the back end for anything Reebok sells that contains their likeness.
