It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDAW) and I wanted to share with you some tips for coping while recovering from an eating disorder.
It is important in recovery to learning healthy coping skills that can replace the unhealthy ones controlled by the eating disorder. This means we must learn better and healthier ways to handle our emotions and deal with difficult feelings and situations.
In this video, I share the top five coping mechanisms that have helped me.
- Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT): exercises and tools to help “reason” your way to healthier activities.
- Creative Activities: this can be a form of artistry, music, woodwork–anything that gets the creative juices flowing!
- Positive Reading: reading books that inspire and lift you up whether they are related to recovery or not.
- Mindful Exercise: easy and short physical activities such as yoga or hitting a punching bag.
- Writing: journaling for yourself and/or blogging as a way to connect with others.
I also share a couple activities that weren’t helpful early in recovery but are more helpful now.
These activities are taking baths and baking. I explain in the video why they did more harm than good early on in my eating disorder recovery and why now they are some of my go-to tools for managing stress and negative emotions.

The weekend is fast approaching and that means that there are new movies hitting the cinema. Lite’s Review Room takes a look at the stinkiest (literally, you can smell it) movie with Spy Kids 4 and a classic vampire movie remade with a classic movie hunk in Fright Night.
Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World in 4D
The Fourth installment of the Spy Kids series features a brand new cast from the last, simply 3D, piece of the series. Jessica Alba, Joel McHale, and Jeremy Piven star in this family action adventure film. Alba is a retired spy who is trying to settle down with McHale, their new baby and McHale’s two kids (super intelligent and great at being spies) when Jeremy Piven’s character the “Time Keeper” threatens to take over the world and Alba is called back into duty. Alba ends up getting help from her new step kids and new husband, all the while still being a good mom to the young baby.
What is really interesting in the 4D aspect. Director Robert Rodrieguez developed what he calls “Aroma-Scope” that corresponds smells with the movie with the help of indicators. How it works: Viewers are given scratch-and-sniff cards with circles numbered 1 to 8. When a number appears on screen, they rub the corresponding circle on their cards, and get the smell of what the characters are smelling. Rodriguez says it tested well with parents and kids during test screening. We’re buying it. A fun way to allow the kids to feel more like they are apart of the movie.
We know there will be enough of the adult undertones to keep us interested (reportedly, Alba does a fight scene while in labor, not very plausible, but should be entertaining) and the Spy Kids movies haven’t let us down yet with the kiddos, so we’re ready to get our 4D experience.
Lite’s Review Room movie critic Julie Fisk from KLRD let’s us know if the of new version of “Fright Night” is worthy our weekend viewing?
“Fright Night” stars Colin Farrell as a Vampire who moves into a Vegas suburb and terrorizes his neighbors. When I told my friends I was going to see “Fright Night,” they gave universally the same response: “Ugh.” One friend even said it was sad that Colin Farrell had sunk to the level of remaking cheesy vampire flicks. [photogallerylink id=51544 align=right]I for one, was a excited about the new “Fright Night.” Maybe because I’m a fan of vampire flicks, but more likely because I’m a fan of Colin Farrell. I was not disappointed in either regard.
Like the original from 1985, this “Fright Night” wants to keep you scared but laughing. Of course, it’s been modernized for the computer generation and there are multiple changes to the original story line. My favorite update though, is the use of 3D. Yes, there are the required blood-and-weapons-being-thrown-at-your-face scenes, but there is a 3D car chase that actually puts you inside the car as you’re being chased by Colin Farrell’s crazed vampire. It’s fantastic!
And let’s talk about Mr. Farrell for a minute. He is scary, and sexy, and I’m not quite sure I’ve seen him have THIS MUCH fun in a movie before. The only complaint I have about “Fright Night” is that I wish it had been a little scarier. Thankfully they went light on the gore, but they could have backed off the camp a little and really made it sinister, but that’s my only gripe.
And that’s why I’m giving the 2011 “Fright Night” a B+. Yes, Colin Farrell’s remake of a cheesy ’80’s vampire flick got a B+ because it was almost great. Believe me, I’m as shocked as you are.
“One Day” starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess tracks the friendship of the two leading characters from their first day together – July 15th, 1988: their college graduation – and every July 15th after that for 20 years. They get together every year on that day to relive the start of their friendship, and we see how their lives change and how this one day every year is leading them to realize what they have been looking for is July 15th, every day of the year.
We like the idea of watching a relationship over 20 years through one day a year, but this fits the classic romantic movie role where we’re pretty sure these two end up with each other at just the right time in their lives. What we don’t know is why this wasn’t released a month ago…The whole movie takes place on July 15th, why not release the movie on July 15th? It was even a Friday!
We’ll take our chances with Fright Night or Spy Kids before using our one day off for “One Day”, but we’ll be sure to add it to our Netflix queue in a few months.

The Lehman Brothers' corporate culture was "terrifying," says Vicky Ward, the author of the new book "The Devil's Casino" about the company's collapse. In an interview on "The Today Show," Ward spoke about the corrupt and bizarre inner workings of the Lehman Brothers and the sad human story behind the mess. She described a culture in which people would be fired for wearing the wrong clothes to a golf game, let alone disagreeing with the senior management's practices.
"The Devil's Casino" uses a series of memos from the senior executives of the Lehman Brothers provided to Ward that turned out to be what she calls "Lehmangate." The book, though, is really about the human story behind the collapse, says Ward:
The tragedy of the story is that you see money and Wall Street corrupt [the Lehman Brothers founders]. And you see their marriages break down, you see their friendships break down.

As a business owner we have been so happy with the results of Kelly’s FIT Business program. Not only has it enhanced the overall health of our employees who are participating but almost as important it has enhanced office morale. The employees have gotten to know each other better and therefore pull for one another. That is wonderful to see.
I initially signed on to participate in Kelly’s FIT Business program because I was in a workout rut and needed someone to motivate and push me to new levels. I never imagined the amount of knowledge that I would learn from her. I had very low self-esteem and just didn’t see myself capable of achieving any goals that I had always wanted to set. Kelly gave me the tools to start believing in myself. She retrained my body, mind and attitude.I have never felt stronger or healthier and look forward to every single session because she never fails to switch it up, make it fun and greet us with the most contagious, positive attitude. Before management brought Kelly on, I questioned if I was important to the company at all. After seeing management’s sincere excitement for the program, I know of my importance and that alone has boosted my morale. I am able to refocus after a workout and get back on track. The stress relief is amazing. And I love the relationships that I have formed with the other co-workers who are also involved in Kelly’s program. Even though I have worked with these ladies for years, working out with each other has given me a surprising new view and respect for these women. Seeing their transformations motivates me to push even harder. And our work relationship with each other is stronger. Kelly and her program is a complete SUCCESS!
The benefits of working with Kelly will cover any expense. She promotes a healthy mind, body, and soul. Anyone who listens to her and follows her advice and example, even a little bit, will see an improvement in health and temperament, and the business will see improvement in employee’s attendance at work.Kelly leads a 3-day-a-week fitness class here at Baylor. It’s free to Baylor staff and faculty and that’s a true benefit. Kelly has helped develop an amazing camaraderie within the group because of her style of teaching, energy, and ability to keep us interested and have fun at the same time. This class means everything to me. It’s addictive, and I mean that in the best way possible. She challenges the class so that by the end of 40 minutes, you are spent! But that feeling of accomplishment along with the soreness and fatigue is so compelling you can’t wait to come back. Some times when we’re moaning and groaning during an exercise, she will say, “Now, what are you going to do today for yourself.” And after every class she encourages us to be positive and make this day the best day ever.My personal benefits? I have increased stamina, self-esteem and energy. I sleep better and have formed better eating habits as a result of regular attendance.
We have been fortunate to work with Kelly Summersett for nearly a year. She has transformed formerly sedentary people into active participants in movement and exercise and motivated previously active people to a new level of energy and fitness.Her challenge at our company was daunting but she aggressively accepted the opportunity and reached many people who have embraced her concepts and reached new levels of health and well-being. Her emphasis on small changes was the perfect strategy for our group.Our employees have gained a new appreciation and understanding of the benefits of nutrition and exercise and many have adopted a new lifestyle based on the knowledge and motivation that Kelly provided.Her workouts are challenging but adaptable for all levels of fitness and her energy is contagious. Kelly has truly transformed our company!

Cryptocurrencies have attracted a lot of attention from traders and investors in recent years as they have grown in acceptance. Yet, those looking for a more solid investment alternative find them less appealing due to their extreme volatility. Stablecoins can be useful in situations like these. A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency that has a reserve asset backing it, such as fiat money, in order to keep its value stable. USDC is one such stablecoin that has grown in popularity. You can also join the Immediate Edge community by visiting the Official Site. Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency; this is how you can change your life.
What is USD Coin (USDC)?
A stablecoin backed by the US dollar is called USD Coin (USDC). It was introduced in 2018 by the CENTRE consortium, a partnership between Circle and Coinbase, two well-known cryptocurrency exchanges. It serves as a steady and trustworthy substitute for other cryptocurrencies, which are notorious for their extreme volatility.
How does USDC work?
It works by maintaining a 1:1 ratio with the US dollar. This means that for every USDC that is in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve. This is accomplished through the use of a reserve system, which is designed to ensure value.
How is it backed by fiat currency?
Fiat currency is a currency that is issued by a government and is not backed by a commodity such as gold or silver. It is backed by the US dollar, which is a fiat currency. This means that for every coin that is issued, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve. The reserve system is audited regularly by third-party firms to ensure that it holds the appropriate amount of reserves. This helps to maintain stability and ensure that it remains a reliable investment option.
Low volatility compared to other cryptocurrencies: One of the primary advantages is that it is less volatile than other cryptocurrencies. This makes it a more reliable investment option for those who are seeking stability in their investments.
High liquidity: It is highly liquid, which means that it can be easily traded or exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies.
Global accessibility: It is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, regardless of where they are located. This makes it a highly accessible investment option for individuals around the world.
Low transaction fees: Transactions typically have lower fees than traditional bank transfers or credit card transactions. This can result in significant cost savings for individuals who frequently transfer money.
How to use
USDC can be purchased and stored in a variety of ways. One option is to purchase it directly from a cryptocurrency exchange, such as Coinbase or Binance. It can also be purchased using a bank transfer or credit card. Once purchased, USDC can be stored in a cryptocurrency wallet, such as MyEtherWallet or MetaMask.
One common use case is to purchase other cryptocurrencies. It can be used to buy cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum on cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, it can be used for online purchases or to transfer money between individuals.
While USDC is a stablecoin, it is not without risks. One potential risk is the potential for the reserve system to fail. If the reserve system is not adequately maintained, it could result in the loss of value for holders. Additionally, as with all cryptocurrencies, it is subject to market volatility. While USDC is designed to maintain a stable value, fluctuations in the value of the US dollar or other market conditions could cause it to fluctuate in value.
Another risk is the potential for regulatory scrutiny. Stablecoins, including USDC, have faced increased regulatory scrutiny in recent years. If regulators were to impose stricter regulations on stablecoins, it could impact their value and availability. Additionally, there is the risk of cybersecurity threats. Like all digital assets, it is susceptible to cyber-attacks.
For individuals looking for security in the erratic cryptocurrency market, USDC offers a stable and reliable investment choice. Despite the fact that USDC has several benefits, like low volatility and high liquidity, there are hazards involved. Before making an investment, investors should carefully weigh the advantages and potential hazards of USDC. Before making any investment selections, like with other investments, it is crucial to do extensive research and speak with a financial expert.

Dear Papa: Letters to Hemingway get crucial repair
ANDOVER, MASS. (AP) - The paper conservator’s scalpel picked at the red and black specks, flicking away the fly droppings that had stained Ingrid Bergman’s letter to Ernest Hemingway.
“I shall remember people like you and forget the rest of the world,” the actress wrote to her author friend from Rome in 1950.
Six decades later, an effort to preserve that memory, and others that are part of the writer’s legacy, recently began inside a New England lab.
From mold, to mice, to moisture, the JFK Library and Museum in Boston is trying to save its collection of Hemingway’s incoming letters from different damage that has been degrading the batch as it ages. Box by box, thousands of letters to the author are heading to the Northeast Document Conservation Center in Andover for mending, washing, flattening and other repairs.
The center is a nonprofit that has also treated other parts of the Library’s Hemingway collection, as well as materials including Abraham Lincoln’s family Bible and documents George Washington wrote.
Walter Newman, the center’s paper conservation director, said the goal of the current Hemingway project is to slow down the different processes that are degrading the letters. Experts surveyed the damage about 18 months ago, and restoration work started on a recent afternoon when assistant conservator Claire Grund went to work on Bergman’s letter, among others.
About half of the 7,500 letters in the incoming collection need restoration work. JFK Library’s Hemingway curator Susan Wrynn said most letters are worth around $5,000.
Wrynn estimates the preservation project will take two or three more years and cost at least $300,000. The JFK Foundation is working on raising funds to cover the price.
After Hemingway’s 1961 suicide, President John F. Kennedy made arrangements for the author’s fourth wife, Mary, to go to Cuba during a U.S. ban on travel there. Cuban leader Fidel Castro let her reclaim some of her husband’s documents and possessions in exchange for donating Hemingway’s villa outside Havana and other belongings to the Cuban people.
Mary Hemingway shipped crates of documents on a shrimp boat to Florida, also retrieving papers from other places her husband lived, before offering the collection to Jacqueline Kennedy for her husband’s presidential library.
The papers started arriving in Boston 40 years ago, when library officials stored them in a dark vault where they could control temperature and humidity levels. But that didn’t keep iron gall ink, a corrosive and once-common writing agent, from eating through the paper some of the letters came on.
It also couldn’t reverse mold growth or repair rodent nibbles on letters that spent years in storage in humid spots like Key West or Cuba. Letters penned on acidic paper also began falling apart as their fibers aged.
“His documents were kept in so many places over time. There are so many things that have happened to them,” Wrynn said. “The deterioration just continues, so if you don’t become proactive at some point, you have the potential to lose information.”
Among letters needing repair are some from the writer’s family, childhood cronies, and war and fishing buddies. Besides two of Bergman’s letters, correspondence from Hollywood stars Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper will undergo work, as well.

CSA - CAN/CSA-S832-06
Seismic risk reduction of operational and functional components (OFCs) of buildings
|Publication Date:||1 March 2006|
This Standard applies to OFCs in buildings with significant seismic hazards as defined in Clause 22.214.171.124 of the NBCC.
This Standard provides information and methodologies to identify and evaluate seismic hazards associated with OFCs and to undertake appropriate mitigation strategies and techniques. While seismic risk reduction of OFCs is affected by the structural performance of a building, this Standard does not address structural integrity.
This Standard is intended for use by building owners, building officials, facility managers, engineers, architects, and other stakeholders for improving the safety and serviceability of OFCs subjected to earthquakes.
This Standard identifies types of OFCs, their failure modes and consequences, and design/retrofit approaches. This Standard applies to new or existing buildings (including renovations), and to most major occupancy classifications listed in Appendix A of the NBCC, including commercial and residential buildings, schools, health facilities, and laboratories.
Special use of buildings, hazardous materials storage, and building contents and processes requiring special protective measures can require additional considerations beyond the scope of this Standard. For example, penitentiaries might not permit certain types of attachment materials and systems that could serve as potential assault items, and museums might not tolerate certain types of fastening materials and systems that could damage an exhibit or interfere with the display characteristics of museum objects. In these instances, additional considerations might be necessary (see Annex F).
OFCs located in heritage buildings should be given additional consideration in accordance with the requirements of the relevant heritage authorities during the assessment and mitigation process.
Exclusions and limitations
This Standard does not address the integrity of the structural systems of buildings; structural aspects are covered by the building codes and other publications referenced in Clause 2.
This Standard does not address "lifeline" systems and utilities outside the building. These systems require special interfacing design and details at the building junction to allow for differential movements between the building and its surrounding environment. It is important that building owners, building designers, utility designers, and geotechnical experts coordinate the interface design and details.
This Standard does not explicitly address the characteristics of OFCs and/or their integral components either during or after an earthquake, as this requires complex engineering analysis and/or seismic qualification testing. However, the application of the Standard can result in continued functionality and operation for certain OFCs, depending on the intensity of shaking and the level of over-design introduced in the mitigation scheme.
In CSA Standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and "can" is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate the formation of single phase tetragonal structure of pure and co-doped (Ni, Al) SnO2 nanoparticles. From XRD calculations, the sizes of the pure and (Ni, Al) co-doped nanoparticles yield the range of 10-20 nm. The Raman studies reveal that the Raman peaks at 340, 476, 625 and 776 cm−1, are correspond to Eu, Eg, A1g and B2g are respectively. Which are in good agreement with standard Raman vibrational modes and assign the pure and co-doped samples has tetragonal rutile phase structure. Optical absorption spectra show the absorption edge at 380 nm, in conformity with excitation and emission of PL spectra. The photoluminescence spectra (PL) exhibit the emission peaks in between 417 and 446 nm, which lie in UV and visible regions. SEM micro graphs show that the surface morphology of samples is nearly spherical, EDS spectra depicts the presence of Sn, O, Ni and Al in the chemical composition of samples in appropriate stoichiometric proportions. The transmission electron microscope micrographs show that the surface morphology of nanoparticles is spherical and average size of the nanoparticles is 20 nm. The magnetization measurements reveal that the anti ferromagnetism transferred to ferromagnetism in the prepared samples.

The opinions of the employees of s You are personal.
The crisis caused by the COVID-19 corona virus is changing aspects of our lives that are not just related to health. This pandemic has components that increase pressure at the level of emotions and human psychology and change the way we consume it to this day, warned Laureano Moon, CEO of The Sprout Studio, a specialist in market and trend research Agency based in Paris, France.
During the live class “New post-coronavirus consumption model“Organized by s e IEBS through the initiative HomeSchool, Moon, along with his COCEO, Maurizio River, highlighted the behaviors, values, desires, demands, and fears that consumers experience in a post-pandemic scenario before companies have to think about different strategies for what they called “the new normal.”
From Paris, where they are coming to terms of detention, specialists for future trends and perspectives indicated that many take the 2008 crisis as a reference. However, this crisis is a real challenge because it not only affects the economy but is also hygienic. socially, economically, politically and psychologically.
This crisis will consolidate a critical mass of consumers who will change the social, cultural and economic paradigm, which will shape a new set of market demands that will drive a paradigm shift.
4 factors of change
The specialists identified four factors that are causing the changes:
- Social isolation. People are social and when we are outside the group we tend to react. Despite the technology that contacts us, it does not replace personal contact and can lead to an increase in mental illness or conflict such as domestic violence. The detention has already resulted in hotels in Paris being operated for women suffering from domestic violence.
- Fear of death. This unknown threat and the fact that you’re leading with an invisible danger make for more drama. Violent situations have been observed in pharmacies. People try to buy masks to no avail.
- Great uncertainty. The feeling arises that everything is out of control. This has led to excessive consumption and accumulation, which is one way to take control and be more secure. On a positive note, studies indicate that this uncertainty has led to an increase in hearing.
- Economic consequences. In the United States, the number of unemployed has increased by the millions, and in a capitalist world without a job, it means the loss of a purpose.
New consumer behavior
The drivers mentioned create a new critical mass that consolidates a range of new social behaviors, values, senses and consumer demands.
Many of these changes have already taken place and are being added to others that have a long-term chance.
Recognize inequality. It has already happened and has been discussed in public opinion, now fragility is democratized. The idea of compensation was confused in an unequal society. That everyone faces this crisis creates a feeling of equality, but the crisis also marks the privileges of some. The aspect where social inequality is most often seen concerns people’s work. For example, not everyone can decide whether they want to stay safe at home.
Break of individualism. It has been shown that we are not alone in society and that the collective solution is the sum of the individual actions. If we stay at home, we can find a solution together and create the perception that the collective has more weight in the fate of societies.
Search for new senses. The frustration that you cannot change the context is compounded.
Prioritize the values when consuming. The value of empathy will be one of the main values that people will adopt. For example, the consumption value of unnecessary products is assessed. “We saw negative reactions to brands that didn’t understand the emotional shock,” said specialists.
Customize the digital space. Social distancing has found useful solutions on the Internet. Buy online as a remote job. In addition, people are using their creativity in new ways to create social interactions on digital platforms and services.
Strengthen immunity. We have found that people want to improve their physical and emotional performance and want to start improving products and services to improve their cognitive skills. There is another factor to the idea of being able to emotionally cover ourselves when the context becomes toxic, which will make people improve their immunity to face the challenges, but for a while the context will be threatening.
Recognize everyday comfort. People are rediscovering the house as a space for various functions, including taking refuge from a biological threat. Comfort is paramount.
Autonomous ecosystems. Focused trend towards strengthening security in a threatening context.
Choose the proximity. We think about where we live, who our neighbors are and what businesses there are. Those who are closest become our partners. Also build empathy with those who have stayed, and at the end of detention, those who have stayed will certainly be selected and generate an upcoming scenario that will be more important for the future.
Return to human contact. People can be tired of standing in front of a screen. Analog experiences are transformative. Experience with a human face will play a fundamental role.
Promote the collective effervescence. People are looking for new ways to connect. We see hundreds of people dancing together or by the window. The desire to be together is called.
Virtual escape. With the travel ban and home restrictions, people are looking for ways to break new ground, for example by fleeing from art or through fictional stories.
Accelerate actions on a global scale. Many countries around the world reacted quickly and with extreme measures. Because of this crisis, other pressing issues like climate change could be tackled at the same rate.

Today is World Environment Day and this year, it’s Time For Nature.
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Earth is now experiencing exceptional times in which nature is sending us a message; to care for ourselves, we must care for nature.
The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the climate that makes our planet habitable - all come from nature - it is the foundation upon which each one of us was built and we all have the right, responsibility, and opportunity to change the world for the better.
Each of us can make the choice to seize this opportunity, and while at times it may be difficult to envision how one person’s actions alone can make a difference, we at Guinness World Records have witnessed the enormous influence that individuals can achieve with determination to positively impact the environment.
In a similar vein, brands, businesses, and organizations have used the power of record-breaking to unite individuals around sustainability efforts whether to educate, promote a cause, and/or implement direct change.
In a recent article featured on worldenvironmentday.global titled COVID-19: Four Sustainable Development Goals That Help Future-Proof Global Recovery, the author suggests there are four goals, out of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) established by the UN as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, that are vital for a truly sustainable recovery when it comes to improving the health of our planet.
Let’s take a look at these four goals and what we have seen organizations do with record-breaking to address them.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production
Fundamental to an environmental recovery is ensuring that the knowledge and commitment to responsible consumption and production extends across all pillars of societies.
In 2018, Los Angeles-based non-profit organization, Crayon Collection, took to record-breaking in attempt to make history while making strides toward achieving this goal.
With a focus on transforming discarded crayons into environmental and art education learning opportunities, Crayon Collection set out to combat a cycle of waste with its title attempt for the most Crayons donated to charity in eight hours.
The organization began a 1 Million Crayon Drive on Earth Day, encouraging children and adults worldwide to collect and donate gently used crayons to be redirected to teachers in need of supplies instead of landfills.
Through this initiative, Crayon Collection donated 1,009,500 gently used crayons that would have otherwise been discarded to teachers at LAUSD and Head Start Center in Los Angeles, California.
Goal 13: Climate Action
The climate crisis may be seen as a slower moving crisis than the speed of the current global pandemic, but its long-term effects are likely to be far more threatening according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
On 5 January 2018, the Plastindia Foundation and its partners in India successfully took climate action into their own hands with a record title attempt for the largest t-shirt, with the entire record-breaking item being made out of plastic waste.
The massive t-shirt was created by sourcing 200,000 used PET bottles which were then crushed, recycled, and processed into fibre to produce a whopping 4,000 kg of cloth.
Measuring a staggering 96.86 m (317.78 ft) long and 69.77 m (228.90 ft) wide, the largest t-shirt was then broken down into wearable clothing and donated to over 10,000 children in need.
After the record attempt, event organizer Jateen Rajput of Consumer Links, India said, “A simple act of disposing a used bottle could cause a new revolution for social and climate change was the core message and the T-shirt being converted to tangible clothing for 10,000 children was the best way to communicate how waste could be made into wealth and get Plastindia Foundation’s point across to the masses about the need for waste segregation.”
Goal 14: Life Below Water
The decline and degradation of natural marine, coastal and freshwater ecosystems, and their biodiversity, combined with increasing ocean warming, acidification, and pollution, presents a serious concern to our planet’s future.
To help alleviate this issue, Canadian artist Von Wong joined forces with Zero Waste Saigon (Vietnam) to raise awareness about single-use plastic pollution and its impact on the world’s oceans, as scientists predict there will be more plastic in the sea than fish by 2050.
By creating a massive plastic sculpture made from reclaimed plastic including 168,037 straws, Von Wong successfully achieved the record for the largest drinking straw sculpture (supported) on 22 January 2019.
“The installation is meant to depict the parting of the plastic ocean in an attempt to engage and encourage individuals to say no to single-use plastics, especially straws,” explained artist Von Wong.
The record event was sponsored in part by Starbucks, who used the opportunity to bring attention to their installation of used straw collection bins at numerous of their stores in Vietnam.
Goal 15: Life on Land
Today, human activity has altered almost 75% of the earth’s surface, squeezing wildlife and nature into a shrinking corner of the planet and placing it under increasing stress.
Aiming to spread awareness of the long-term damage that ivory trade causes to a peaceful and endangered species, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) teamed up with the Bronx Zoo in Manhattan, New York to attempt the record for the largest display of origami elephants.
The event took place on 17 November 2016 and was organized as a part of WCS’s 96 Elephants campaign, a reference to the statistic that 96 elephants are killed each day for their ivory.
The organization invited people from around the world to send in their origami elephants to contribute to the record.
“WCS’s Bronx Zoo received these gems of folded paper from all over the world and assembled them into this gorgeous display as a simple gesture that sends a powerful message to the world that we are standing together to save these majestic animals,” said John Calvelli, WCS Executive Vice President for Public Affairs and Director of the 96 Elephants Campaign.
An impressive 78,564 origami elephants were sent to the Bronx Zoo from all 50 states in the US, along with 40 other countries, and 45 AZA zoos in pursuit of the protection and a healthy future for the elephants.

Are You Ignoring This Business Fundamental At Your Peril?
Phillip Campbell, CPA, CFO, and author of Never Run Out of Cash, says, “Despite the fact that cash is the lifeblood of a business – the fuel that keeps the engine running – most business owners [and CEOs] don’t truly have a handle on their cash flow. Poor cash-flow management is causing more business failures today than ever before.” To help CEOs manage cash more effectively, there are two areas on which they need to concentrate: revenue and spending. What’s coming in, and what’s going out. Let’s take look:
- Profitability vs. cash. When managing cash flow, it’s important to realize that profit is not the same thing as cash. There’s an old expression: land rich and cash poor, which refers to ranchers who have property but no cash flow. It’s the same in business: they may be “profit rich” but cash poor. Profitable companies can become insolvent because they didn’t have the working cash to fund daily operations. You want to keep a close eye on your cash.
- Billing. How do you manage this process? If you are billing clients, the key is ensuring invoices are sent as soon as possible. This might mean emailing more bills, which can be quicker. The sooner invoices are sent out, the sooner – in theory! – you can receive payment.
- Collections and terms. How long should you give customers/clients to pay their bills? Should you collect a deposit for work to be done? If not, how do you go through the credit process? How do you determine who is credit-worthy and who is not?
- Payroll. Employees: you can’t live without them – and you certainly can’t live without paying them! Payroll is typically one of the biggest expenses a company has to cover. The question is how do you manage your payments? How do you put payroll first and ensure your people are paid on time?
- Payments. Then comes all the other payments! Vendors, suppliers, rent, insurance, leases… How do you manage those expenses? BottomLine Growth helps CEOs set up cash flow models so they can estimate the money coming in, and see exactly how it’s going out. This also allows you to see where there are shortfalls and excesses so you can make solid, strategic decisions to manage cash effectively.
Keeping on top of cash flow helps CEOs ensure their companies have the working capital necessary to pay their people, pay their vendors, and, essentially, make it through the day/week/month! But strong oversight here also helps leaders develop a more accurate sense of how much cash they need to allow their businesses to overcome challenges, grow, and thrive in the longer-term.

President Barack Obama announced new economic sanctions against key sectors of the Russian economy Tuesday afternoon, in Washington's latest move to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his support for Ukrainian rebels.
Obama says the sanctions target Russia's energy, weapons and finance industries, including big banks.
"If Russia continues on this current path, the costs on Russia will continue to grow," Obama said. "Because we are closely coordinating our actions with Europe, the sanctions we are announcing today will have an even bigger bite."
The measures mark the start of a new phase in the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cold War. Tensions worsened dramatically after the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over rebel-held Ukrainian territory on July 17 by what Western countries say was a Russian-supplied missile fired by the rebels.
Diplomats said ambassadors from the 28-member European Union agreed to restrictions on trade in equipment for the oil and defense sectors and in "dual use" technology with both military and civilian purposes. Russia's state-run banks would be barred from raising funds in European capital markets. The measures would be reviewed in three months.
But Australia's prime minister said Wednesday that he is not considering adding new sanctions. Australia lost 28 citizens on Flight MH17 and sponsored a United Nations Security Council resolution that was passed with Russian support. The resolution demands the rebels allow the dead to be retrieved and international investigators free access to the crash site, which recent fighting has prevented.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that at the moment "our focus is not on sanctions; our focus is on bringing home our dead as quickly as we humanly can."
The Ukrainian government said Monday its troops had regained more territory from the rebels and were moving toward the crash site, which international investigators said they could not reach because of the fighting.
Troops recaptured two rebel-held towns near the site and were trying to take the village of Snezhnoye, near where Kiev and Washington say rebels fired the surface-to-air missile that shot down the airliner, Ukrainian officials said.
One pro-government militia said 23 of its men had been killed in fighting in the past 24 hours, and a rebel commander said he had lost 30 soldiers.
In a report on three months of fighting between government forces and separatist rebels who have set up pro-Russian "republics" in the east, the United Nations said more than 1,100 people had been killed.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said increasingly intense fighting in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions was extremely alarming, and the shooting down of the airliner may amount to a war crime.
The separatists are still in control of the area where MH17 was shot down, but fighting in the surrounding countryside has been heavy as government forces try to drive them out.
On Monday at least three civilians were reported killed in overnight fighting, and Kiev said its troops recaptured Savur Mogila — a strategic piece of high ground about 20 miles from where the Malaysia Airlines Boeing plane came down — and other areas under rebel control. Rebels denied Savur Mogila had been lost, saying fighting was continuing.
The crash site has yet to be secured or thoroughly investigated. After days in which bodies lay untended in the sun, rebels gathered the human remains and shipped the bodies out by train.
But the wreckage itself is still largely unguarded, and much of it has been moved or dismantled in what the rebels say was part of the operation to recover the bodies. No full forensic sweep has been conducted to ensure all human remains have been collected. Both sides accuse the other of using fighting to prevent the investigation.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said its observers attempting to reach the crash site with investigators from Australia and the Netherlands were forced to return to Donetsk for "security reasons."
A rebel leader, Vladimir Antyufeyev, told reporters in Donetsk that separatist fighters escorting the international experts to the site encountered fighting and turned back.
Antyufeyev, who like most of the senior rebel leadership is an outsider from Russia, also blamed the "senseless" Ukrainian army for trying to destroy evidence at the crash site under cover of fighting.
Analysis of black box flight recorders from the airliner showed it was destroyed by shrapnel from a missile blast that caused a "massive explosive decompression," a Ukrainian official said on Monday.
Investigators in Britain, who downloaded the data, had no comment. They said they had passed on information to the international crash investigation led by the Netherlands, whose nationals accounted for two-thirds of the victims.

Seminary Co-op Bookstore announces move to McGiffert House
The Seminary Co-op Bookstore and the University announced this week that the bookstore will move to McGiffert House, the building on Woodlawn Avenue just north of Robie House, sometime in late 2011. The Co-op's current space in the basement of the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) will be renovated along with the rest of the current CTS building to make way for the Milton Friedman Institute for Research in Economics (MFIRE).
The four-story McGiffert House is owned by the University, which purchased it along with the current CTS building from the CTS in June 2008. Most of McGiffert House's first floor and some the basement will be renovated at the University's expense to accommodate the Co-op.
No firm has yet been chosen to oversee that renovation, but Richard Barnard, an assistant manager at the Co-op, said preserving the aspects of the Co-op's space that customers appreciate most would be a priority.
"What's front and center about the store is that it's all about books," Barnard said, "and not about fixtures or atmosphere."
Although the University's plans for the CTS building forced the move, Barnard said employees see it as a chance to improve upon a number of problems with the Co-op's current store—among them, its low ceilings, poor accessibility, and cramped floor space and workspaces.
"People are really looking forward to it," Barnard said. "What makes this space difficult for customers is also difficult for employees."
The Co-op has operated in the basement of 5757 University Avenue, directly across from the main quads, since incorporating in 1961. Barnard said the Co-op had few choices when looking for commercial space that was similarly close to campus, and that McGiffert House was the best option available.
From the blotter
Around 8:30 p.m. last Friday, a man walking on Ellis Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets was approached by a group of five young men. When the man attempted to cross to the other side of the street, more than one of the group hit him, and one demanded his iPod while another went through his backpack and removed items, including a digital camera. Police later stopped two young men at 51st Street and Drexel Avenue, and after one was found in possession of a digital camera, he was detained and admitted involvement in the earlier incident. The other individuals participating in the attack were described as young men wearing white t-shirts.
A similar incident occurred last night around 9:30 p.m. on Woodlawn Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets. Four males grabbed and struck a man walking on the street, then took his iPod and left the area.
The Chicago-area workers' strike that stopped construction projects around campus ended Monday night, when the Mid-America Regional Bargaining Association, a contractors' group, came to terms with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 and the Laborers' District Council of Chicago. The deal promises workers 3.25-percent raises in wages and benefits during each of the next three years.
The stained glass panes in the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) are arguably the most beautiful in the Hyde Park-area, and certainly the most contested. Locals have protested the planned removal of the panes to the new CTS facility at Dorchester Avenue and 60th Street, and some were cheered recently when it was announced that the panes will not be removed this summer, as was expected.
Although the panes will now remain in place until the fall, there is no indication that the University or the CTS is considering letting them stay for good. When the CTS sold its current building to the University, the deal included terms that allow the CTS to take parts of the building it considers especially meaningful, and the CTS will use that clause to take along some the panes.
While the CTS's budget prevents it from relocating all the panes, those that were to be removed this summer are still slated for removal at a later date.
"Currently, we are working with the University to find a time for the removal of the windows in the fall in a way that will reduce disruption of our classes to a minimum," CTS President Alice Hunt said in an e-mail interview this week.

Trump’s schedule shows a president with plenty of downtime this summer
President Trump’s daily Twitter feed in recent weeks has been a torrent of personal attacks, news commentary, weather reports, unfounded claims and congratulatory notes. But when it comes to his day job, the American people have seen little of him.
This week, aside from daily intelligence briefings and private lunches with Cabinet members, Trump has only one event on his public schedule — on Thursday he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Lakers legend and NBA Hall of Famer Jerry West.
Last week, Trump also held just one public event — a Rose Garden ceremony to authorize creation of the U.S. Space Command, a reshuffling of military responsibilities for space operations. He began by announcing he was canceling a planned trip to Poland over Labor Day weekend and would remain in Washington to monitor Hurricane Dorian, which appeared to threaten Florida.
Hunkering down at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., Trump went golfing twice at his private club in Sterling, Va., and fired off more than 100 tweets as Dorian ravaged the Bahamas and shifted course.
Barbara Res, a longtime Trump Organization executive, said Trump appears less active now than when she managed construction projects for him in the 1980s and 1990s.
“He’s working less. He seems to care less about his job now than he did back when I was working for him,” Res said. “Maybe it’s because he has more confidence or a greater sense of power sitting in the Oval Office. He thinks he can say and do anything now, or not do anything.”
She added, “It looks like he’s not even trying, but he thinks he’s trying. To him, all the watching TV and tweeting is work, so he believes he’s on the clock 24-7, 365.”
Trump administration appears to violate law in forcing asylum seekers back to Mexico, officials warn
The L.A. Times finds the Trump administration appears to be violating U.S. law in implementing the Remain in Mexico policy, officials and lawyers warn.
Leon E. Panetta, who served as White House chief of staff, secretary of Defense, CIA director and director of the Office of Management and Budget under Presidents Clinton and Obama, said Trump’s lack of structured activity reflected the aimlessness in his administration.
“Trump operates the way this hurricane operates,” he said. “There’s a lot of destruction and chaos going on, but no clear path where it’s heading.... It’s very much an ad hoc presidency that relies on his gut instincts rather than any kind of policy process.”
The White House clearly is sensitive to the critique that Trump has slacked off lately, issuing a video montage Tuesday of news clips and other footage highlighting the president’s activities and appearances in recent months, from signing ceremonies to visits with foreign leaders at the White House.
Earlier Tuesday, Trump defended his weekend golfing in a Twitter post, singling out one of the many individuals who had criticized him.
“The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday,” Trump tweeted. “Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii,” he wrote.
Obama mostly played golf at Joint Base Andrews, about 14 miles from the White House. He and his family visited Hawaii, his birthplace, on several winter holidays.
On Monday, a federal holiday, Trump spent more than five hours playing golf or traveling to and from his golf course, leaving the White House at 9:27 a.m. and returning at 2:55 p.m.
According to his public schedule for Tuesday, Trump received a classified intelligence briefing and later met with Defense Secretary Mark Esper. The White House declined to provide details about any other meetings or activities.
The president’s tweets often provide a window into parts of his day not disclosed on public schedules. For instance, last week he tweeted what appeared to be a classified image of an Iranian rocket that apparently blew up on the launchpad, a clear indication that he’d been briefed on the subject. His staff also sent out photos of a hurricane briefing in the Oval Office. And Trump often tweets in response to cable news coverage, telling the public what exactly he’s watching.
Some presidents have really bad years.
Trump spent the first two weeks of August on vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., although he left for fundraisers on Long Island, N.Y., a speech at a Pittsburgh factory and a campaign rally in Manchester, N.H.
He had just three public events in the three days before he left for the Group of 7 summit in France on the evening of Aug. 23: a meeting with the visiting president of Romania, a speech to a veterans convention in Kentucky, and a Medal of Freedom presentation to Bob Cousy, another long-retired basketball great.
Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University in Houston, said that before cable television and air conditioning, presidents would routinely skip town for weeks during Washington’s sweltering summers. Even now, voters tend to give commanders in chief some leeway to recharge their batteries.
“He’s the golfer in chief,” Brinkley said. “Eisenhower liked to golf. So did Obama and other presidents. But Trump simply unplugs.”
Brinkley said there’s no point in Trump using the summer to build momentum to make progress on his legislative or policy agenda.
“He’s not a president trying to build a great congressional record,” he said. “He’s just trying to deregulate and defund government.”
Beyond Twitter, Trump appears to relish the free-flowing gaggles he often holds with reporters on the South Lawn before he leaves the White House on Marine One, so much so that the unscripted sessions have been dubbed “Chopper Talk.”
His new press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, hasn’t held a news briefing in two months in the job, as her boss prefers to speak for himself.
On Friday, she stood outside the Oval Office as Trump held forth with reporters across the lawn, and she simply tweeted a photo of the scene.

Employers and insurance carriers have already begun to see workers’ compensation claims as a result of COVID-19 illnesses, and aren’t always sure how to respond. Should the claim be accepted as a compensable “occupational disease,” or denied as a risk the general public faces regardless of work activities? As with most COVID-19-related issues, the answer will depend on the specific facts. Further complicating things, the legal landscape for COVID-19-related workers’ compensation claims is changing with pending or enacted legislation in a number of states.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues interrupting the daily lives of Americans. As of April 16, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that another 5.2 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits, bringing the total number of claims during the last four weeks to a whopping 22 million. According to Stateside’s State Government Overview Report, state legislators have introduced more than 110 bills related to paid sick leave, appropriation requests, and worker protections. The Report also says that nearly 900 executive actions have been issued by governors attempting to respond to the continuously evolving environment. States also have issued emergency regulations for insurance carriers to address labor and wage issues, and other problems caused by the pandemic. For those businesses with employees still coming to work, COVID-19 workers’ compensation claims are becoming more likely.
What constitutes a valid workers’ compensation claim varies vary from state to state. Generally, for an injury or occupational disease to be considered payable, the condition must be “connected to” the employment. Before coronavirus, determining whether a particular illness was incidental to the employee’s work usually involved a determination of whether the employee was exposed to a greater risk of illness than the general public. Many states’ workers’ compensation laws exclude “ordinary diseases of life,” such as the common cold or the flu, from payable workers’ compensation claims.
Now states are taking another look at whether their laws should change. At least nine states have or are considering changes to their workers’ compensation laws as a result of the coronavirus. Most of these changes provide presumptions that a COVID-19 illness is a compensable workers’ compensation illness for health care workers and safety professionals (firefighters, first responders, police officers, etc.). In other words, those employees whose “front-line” job duties expose them to a greater risk of COVID-19 would receive the benefit of the presumption.
The states that have taken steps to address this issue include Alaska, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington. Details about the specific actions taken by these states can be found in a recent post by the Insurance Journal.
There now is a push to include other “front-line” workers, such as employees working in grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies, as well as other workers performing “essential” jobs. But determining where to draw the line will be tough. Should the presumption apply not only to “front-line” workers, but all employees of any business that meets the state’s specific definition of an “essential business”? If so, how would one determine which, if any, of those employees truly were exposed to “a greater risk” while at work? If all “front-line” workers receive the benefit of the work-related COVID-19 presumption some say is warranted, would there be a distinction between grocery stores and pharmacy employees, without which life could not be sustained during this pandemic, and “essential businesses” such as those in the construction industry, transportation industry, and others?
How would one determine whether the employee’s COVID-19 illness is “connected” to the particular hazards of the employee’s work, rather than the same risk that any member the general public would face? And, how would one determine whether the employee became ill while working, as opposed to while grocery shopping or from exposure to a friend or family member?
The U.S. Department of Labor seems to agree that connecting the coronavirus illness to an employee’s work may be a difficult task. In a recent announcement, the DOL advised that most employers will not have to include COVID-19 cases as recordable incidents for OSHA recordkeeping purposes absent “objective evidence” establishing the work-relatedness of the illness. The announcement acknowledged that determining whether a worker contracted COVID-19 while working is difficult, given the ongoing community spread of the disease.
Many industries are suffering greatly from unprecedented layoffs, closures and other financial strains related to the coronavirus. Expanding workers’ compensation liability while business owners struggle to keep the doors open and workers employed may do more harm than good. Policymakers should keep in mind that presumptions given may be difficult to take away once the emergency has passed.
