On April 19th, we welcomed our volunteers to the Clubhouse for an evening of food, drinks and good company to celebrate and thank them for their generous commitment to the Gilda's Club mission.
The theme of the evening was Paris, complete with a delicious crepe station, a mini Eiffel Tower, and a beautiful performance by harpist, Pia Salvia from La Vie En Rose, French & Jazz Band.
While a single night can never thank our volunteers enough, we hope they understand how important they are to the sustainability of our program.
Volunteers provide over 3,000 hours of service annually. They facilitate our workshops, provide administrative support, and help out at internal member events and external fundraising events. They represent us at health fairs, serve as ambassadors, Board members, and Associate Board members, seasonally decorate Noogieland, our children's space, and so much more.
On behalf of the entire staff at Gilda's Club NYC, thank you so much to everyone who has volunteered their time and talents in support of our program and members.

STAFF have saddled up to stage a huge fundraising challenge.
A total of 200 employees of retirement developer McCarthy & Stone have embarked on a 1,300 mile relay challenge – walking, running, cycling, horse riding and even kayaking their way from Newquay in Cornwall to Forres in Scotland.
Their aim is to raise at least £50,000 for children's charity Barnardo's.
The charity challenge kicked off at the company's Marina Court development in Newquay on April 23 and the relay team are well on their travels, carrying in the charily's iconic bear as mascot as well as their baton
The relay will pass through Huddersfield on May 14, stopping at the Sykes Court development in Lindley. It will finish at Moravia Court in Forres on May 25. All money raised will help Barnardo's provide much needed support for over 100,000 children across 400 projects nationally.
Mike Jennings, regional operations director for McCarthy & Stone, said: "After announcing Barnardo's as our chosen charity of the year, we were overwhelmed by the number of people who wanted to do their bit."
People wanting to show their support are invited to visit McCarthy & Stone's sponsorship page at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/McStone.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Arthritis Pain
Radiofrequency ablation (or RFA) is a procedure used to reduce pain.
An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat up a small area of nerve tissue,
thereby decreasing pain signals from that specific area.
Which Conditions Are Treated With Radiofrequency Ablation?
RFA can be used to help patients with chronic (long-lasting) low-back and neck pain and pain related to the degeneration of joints from arthritis.
How Long Does Pain Relief From Radiofrequency Ablation Last?
The degree of pain relief varies, depending on the cause and location of the pain. Pain relief from RFA can last from six to 12 months and in some cases, relief can last for years.
More than 70% of patients treated with RFA experience pain relief.
Is Radiofrequency Ablation Safe?
RFA has proven to be a safe and effective way to treat some forms of pain. It also is generally well-tolerated, with very few associated complications. There is a slight risk of infection and bleeding at the insertion site.
Your doctor can advise you about your particular risk.
What Are the Side Effects of Radiofrequency Ablation?
The main side effect of RFA is some discomfort, including swelling and bruising at the site of the treatment, but this generally goes away after a few days.
Who Should Not Get Radiofrequency Ablation?
As with any medical procedure, RFA is not appropriate for everyone. For example, radiofrequency ablation is not recommended for people who have active infections or bleeding problems.
Your doctor can tell you if you should not have RFA.
How Do I Prepare for Radiofrequency Ablation?
To prepare for radiofrequency ablation treatment, you should take a few precautions, including:
What Happens During Radiofrequency Ablation?
You will meet with a doctor for an evaluation. If radiofrequency ablation is recommended, a doctor will explain the procedure in detail, including possible complications and side effects.
The doctor will also answer any questions you may have.
An intravenous (IV) line may be placed in a vein in your arm before the procedure and a local anesthetic and mild sedative may be used to reduce any discomfort during RFA.
You may be awake during the process to aid in properly assessing the procedure.
Ask your doctor about specifics beforehand.
After the local anesthesia (you will be awake but will not feel any pain) has been given,
the doctor will insert a small needle into the general area where you are experiencing pain.
Using X-ray, your doctor will guide the needle to the exact target area.
A microelectrode is then inserted through the needle to begin the stimulation process.
During the procedure, your doctor will ask if you are able to feel a tingling sensation.
The object of the stimulation process is to help the doctor determine if the electrode is in the
optimal area for treatment.
Once the needle and electrode placement are verified, a small radiofrequency current is sent through the
electrode into the surrounding tissue, causing the tissue to heat.
You should not feel discomfort during the heating portion of the procedure.
What Happens After Radiofrequency Ablation?
Following radiofrequency ablation:
Can I Resume My Normal Activities After Radiofrequency Ablation?
You will have a few restrictions immediately following radiofrequency ablation:
What Side Effects May I Have After Radiofrequency Ablation?
You may experience the following effects after RFA:
RFA Warning
If you feel severe pain at the injection site and notice swelling and redness, or increased leg weakness, have someone take you to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Tell the emergency room staff that you just had RFA. A doctor must evaluate you for
bleeding and injection complications.

Comment : The other thing here to notice is the growth of domestic passengers, this is also in line with the growth of low cost carriers
Sells plot of land— BLAND sold a plant of land over 300 rai to SIRI near Sri Nakarin for Bt9bn. This lifted BV per share to Bt3.45.(Khao Hoon, 17/10/13)
Comment : This is of course positive news for bland, but the rumour has been floating around the market for a few weeks now
Expects 9% growth this year— BIGC is confident that earnings growth will be 9% YoY in 2013.

MRTA to urge BMCL recap plan rethink— The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand board is expected to ask BMCL today to review its recapitalization plan, which would reportedly dilute MRTA's shareholding structure in the company. A transport Ministry source said BMCL's plan to increase its registered capital may reduce the MRTA's shareholding from 25% to 11-17%. According to the source, this would violate the MRTA Act, which requires the MRTA to hold a 25% stake.(Bangkok Post, 17/10/13)

Real estate start-up Compass has expanded its footprint in the Hamptons again, this time to the village of Sag Harbor.
Compass has brought Scott Strough's boutique brokerage Strough Real Estate Associates into its fold. The eight-person team will operate as part of Compass effective immediately out of the 84 Main Street office.
"Sag Harbor is an important and increasingly popular sub-market in the Hamptons, and the Compass brand needed to have a presence here," said Robert Reffkin, the founder and CEO of Compass. "Scott's experience in both retail brokerage and development while offering the absolute best customer service experience is aligned with Compass's core principles. His deep knowledge of the area, along with the expertise of these outstanding agents, will help us to better serve our client base across the East End."
Strough, who founded his brokerage in 1995, was president of the Southampton Town Trustees for 17 years.
Compass launched its first Hamptons office last October at 2405 Main Street in Bridgehampton under the leadership of regional managing director Ed Reale. The company plans to occupy locations in East Hampton and Southampton early this year.

A new EPI report shows that families living in wealthier areas are twice as likely to secure a school place on appeal
According to a new Education Policy Institute (EPI) report, financially well-off families are more likely to succeed in securing a school place on appeal.
The report draws on the stories of 86,000 families who didn't get their first choice of secondary schools.
The study found that families from wealthier areas of England were twice as likely to get a place through either waiting lists or appeals.
Emily Hunt, a researcher for the report, said that this is 'reinforcing inequalities'.
Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, responded to this news:
"What this report shows us is that there is often a scramble going on for places in schools which are rated as 'good' and 'outstanding' by Ofsted, and that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to lose out to more affluent families who can afford to live in areas near these schools.
"We are not convinced that an overhaul of the admissions system will deal with the root cause of this issue.
"We need to secure sustainable improvement in struggling schools so that all children have access to good local provision.
"An essential starting point is to scrap the current Ofsted system of rating schools as 'inadequate' and 'requires improvement' as these labels stigmatise them and make it harder to attract teachers, leaders and pupils.
"We need a system which is built upon the principle of providing the very best support to these schools and it must be backed up with sufficient funding."

Analysis Seminar
Remarks on Onsager's Conjecture and Anomalous Dissipation on domains with and without boundaries
Speaker: Theodore Drivas, Princeton University
Location: Warren Weaver Hall 1302
Date: Thursday, April 5, 2018, 11 a.m.
We first discuss the inviscid limit of the global energy dissipation of
Leray solutions of incompressible Navier-Stokes on the torus. Assuming
that the solutions have Besov norms bounded uniformly in viscosity, we
establish an upper bound on energy dissipation. As a consequence, Onsager-type
"quasi-singularities" are required in the Leray solutions, even if the total
energy dissipation is o(ν) in the limit ν → 0. Next, we discuss an extension
of Onsager's conjecture for domains with solid boundaries. We give a localized
regularity condition for energy conservation of weak solutions of the Euler
equations assuming Besov regularity of the velocity with σ>1/3 for any U⋐Ω
and, on an arbitrary thin layer around the boundary, boundedness of velocity,
pressure and continuity of the wall-normal velocity. We also prove that the global
viscous dissipation vanishes in the inviscid limit for Leray-Hopf solutions of the
Navier-Stokes equations under the similar assumptions, but holding uniformly in a
vanishingly thin viscous boundary layer. Finally, if a strong Euler solution exists,
we show that equicontinuity at the boundary within a O(ν) strip alone suffices to
conclude the absence of anomalous dissipation.
The first part of the talk concerns joint work with G. Eyink, the second with H.Q. Nguyen.

Hamburg showcases itself at MIPIM22. Februar 2012
Hamburg travels to Cannes' commercial real estate fair
Hamburg showcases itself at MIPIM
With great confidence, Hamburg's real estate industry will travel to Cannes this year, where the world's largest and most relevant commercial real estate trade fair will be held from 6 – 9 March 2012. "MIPIM is one of the most important market places in the global competition among cities and Hamburg is in excellent position to hold its ground", says Mayor Olaf Scholz. "Despite the euro crisis, signals are set for growth in the Elbe metropolis." The latest figures of the commercial property market impressively reflect the city's dynamic development. In 2011, the investment market for commercial properties has reported the best results since the record-breaking year of 2007. The positive trend of past years also prevailed with regards to the office space market and property leasing rates. The highest demand was registered for the sub-market "downtown".
Key figures at a glance:
- Strong commercial real estate market: total transaction volume of 2.2 billion euro
- Office space market: total turnover of 525,000 square metres (+4.9 per cent)
- Vacancy rate for office space decreases from 9.8 per cent to 8.0 per cent
- Leasing rates: prime rates at 24 euro/sq m (+ 1,50 euro/sq m), average rates at 14.50 euro/sq m (+ 1.65 euro/sq m)
- Particularly in demand were downtown properties (29.7 per cent), HafenCity (10.5 per cent) and City Süd (9.5 per cent)
"The very positive development of Hamburg's commercial real estate market will advance in 2012, and we will continue to provide top arguments to invest in Hamburg to international investors in particular. The combination of economic strength and high quality of life creates Hamburg's unique attraction", says Uwe Jens Neumann, CEO of HWF Hamburg Business Development Corporation. Hamburg's commitment to further growth in the context of urban densification continues to provide great potential to the real estate industry.
At Cannes' MIPIM, the City of Hamburg will participate with a joint stand organised by HWF Hamburg Business Development Corporation. Here, the Elbe metropolis will present itself with strong partners such as HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, HSH Nordbank AG, and IBA Hamburg GmbH. A highlight of MIPIM's events will be the Hamburg/HafenCity reception on Tuesday, 6 March at 3 pm in the presence of Dr. Peter Tschentscher, Hamburg Minister of Finance, as well as the subsequent talk on "German authorities and agencies: models of co-operation with investors and private partners". Another special highlight will be the MIPIM award ceremony on Thursday, 8 March at 7.30 pm.
As the only German project, the redevelopment of Hamburg's "Alte Post", the former headquarters of the Hamburg postal service, is among the finalists of the MIPIM Awards. Developed by Quantum for alstria and acquired by Stenham Properties, the 9,200 sq m large office and retail block has been nominated in the "Refurbishment" category for one of the highly coveted prices. In any case, the German real estate industry will not leave Cannes empty-handed, since Germany is entitled to a special award as this year's country of honour.

Warren S. said "Jonathan Moody's performance was thoughtful, professional and first rate! I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Your list is empty.
Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they'll appear here.
Bud's Collective is a cutting edge group of super pickers from the hills of West Virginia. While their music reflects roots firmly planted in Bluegrass tradition, they do not hesitate to add to it in ways all their own. Playing a tasteful mix of front man Buddy Dunlap's original material and popular hits ranging from Stevie Wonder to Alabama and all points in between, these guys know how to please guests regardless of musical taste. Whats more is that they understand that musical performance is only part of the job - when you hire Bud's Collective you will not only be getting an outstanding show, you can rest easy knowing that things will run seamlessly at your party.
Very professional group. Set-up and take down were on time and smooth. Excellent musicians with a wide range of songs. Great job! I'd definitely book again.
The crew of Bud's Collective was a great choice to play my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I asked them to play the Game of Thrones theme song, and they exceeded my expectations. My guests frickin' loved the GOT theme song and thought that a bluegrass band was such a good idea for our wedding! Trust Bud's Collective for your wedding, too!
Response from Bud's Collective:
Thanks Russell! We really appreciate the feedback!
I am so glad we were able to get Buds Collective at our Avalon Festival. They did a fantastic job and were very professional. Great Music.
thanks Again
I've been listening to Bud's Collective for a long time, and witnessed their progression into one of the best bluegrass bands I've ever seen and heard. They are individually incredibly talented musicians, but together on stage, they are generous to one another, listen carefully, and craft music on the spot that just blows you away. They played music for both my wedding ceremony and a set for my reception. I was so overwhelmed with planning, I just asked Buddy to choose music he thought would be appropriate for the event. They did a FANTASTIC job, and I was so appreciative I could put my trust in them to play great music and choose great songs. My guests walked away after their set saying "wow!" to one another. Bud's Collective brings not only their talent, but their professionalism to events, having been in this business for years, since they were all young teenagers. I could not give Bud's Collective a higher recommendation to anyone who wants great music, adaptable and professional musicians, and a wide range of musical choices for their event.

Bud's Collective is a lively band that likes to keep the party hoppin' and do songs people wanna hear! We love to play weddings and private parties! Our full wedding package includes ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We are willing to learn songs in advance for a first dance or special occasion.
Bud's Collective is a powerful group of pickers from the hills of West Virginia. While their music reflects roots firmly planted in Bluegrass tradition, they do not hesitate to add to it in ways all their own. Playing a tasteful mix of front man Buddy Dunlap's original material and popular hits ranging from Stevie Wonder to Alabama and all points in between, Bud's Collective has been making waves in the music scene since the inception of the group in 2012.
These guys have been playing music together informally for over a decade, and their music speaks of the years spent adapting and blending with one another's styles. Only a few months after the band was formed, Bud's Collective won first place in the DC Bluegrass Union Mid-Atlantic Band Competition. They also competed at the SPBGMA International Band Contest, placing 2nd. They host their own concert series called Bluegrass in the Barn which continues to grow into one of the most popular events in the West Virginia Panhandle, peaking at an audience of 400 after just a year and a half. Bud's Collective has recorded a live album and three studio albums, including a Christmas album called Naughty List, which climbed to number 3 on the Airplay Direct charts in 2015. What truly sets them apart from the rest, however, is the energy that fills the spaces in which they play - captivating audiences and leaving them wanting more.
The band is made up of front man Buddy Dunlap, a born entertainer, on guitar, lead and harmony vocals; Cody Brown on bass, lead and harmony vocals; and Jack Dunlap on mandolin, lead and harmony vocals.
We provide complete sound equipment. All we need is a good reliable outlet, we'll handle the rest!

Long on oil? Short the Nasdaq? These were just two of the losing strategies behind the decade's worst-performing index funds.
The 20 index funds with the worst 10-year return figures — and at least $500 million in assets under management — had an average loss of more than 5%, Morningstar Direct data show.
"The shift in investor preferences over the past decade has resulted in numerous casualties," Morningstar research analysts Kevin McDevitt and Nick Watson wrote in a paper on 2019 fund flows earlier this year, adding, "Three of the biggest were allocation, alternative and sector equity funds."
Broad-basket commodity sector funds, as well as those tracking energy and precious metals, accounted for more than half of the decade's worst-performers, data show. Ultrashort bond funds and funds with large allocations to Latin American and Russian equities made the list, as well.
The ranking, led by commodity and inverse equity ETFs, underperformed the S&P 500's 13.19% gain, as tracked by SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), as well as the 12.73% gain by the Dow, as measured by the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA), data show. On the fixed-income side, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a 10-year gain of 3.77%, as measured by the iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG).
At least one expected commonality among these poor performers is their high fees. At more than 10 basis points pricier than their peers, these funds carried an average net expense ratio of 0.60% — well above the 0.48% industry average, according to Morningstar's most recent annual fee survey, which reviewed the asset-weighted average expense ratios of all U.S. open-end mutual funds and ETFs.
The industry's largest overall fund, the $901.9 billion Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares (VTSAX), carried a 0.14% expense ratio and a 13.49% return over 10 years, data show.
"It's hard to know which funds will win out in the short run," wrote Alex Bryan, Morningstar's director of passive strategies for North America in an analysis of the research company's analyst ratings. "A strong investment process and low fee should pay off over the long term."
Scroll through to see the 20 index funds with the worst returns over 10 years through Feb. 20. Funds with investment minimums over $100,000 were excluded, as were leveraged and institutional funds. Assets and expense ratios are listed for each, as well as year-to-date, one-, three- and five-year returns. The data show each fund's primary share class. All data from Morningstar Direct.

|Functional mobile apps for the elderly
|Nguyen, Dac Khue
|Issue Date:
|The Smart Butler is a native Android application that provides the helpful information, interact and communicate with the elderly to maintain a healthy and engaging life style. The interactive module in the Smart Butler is governed by a rule engine, which receives the current context as the input from the environment and output the most reasonable rule that the Smart Butler would deliver to the elderly. The current rule engine of the Smart Butler adopts a simple mechanism "If this, then that", which is simple and easy to implement, but it has some limitations. Firstly, the rule engine does not have a well-defined way to handle some complex situation where multiple rules could be triggered at the same time. The current rule engine cannot differentiate which rule is more urgent than others. Secondly, it has not handled some scenarios that involve user's interaction such that depending on the user response, different actions will be delivered accordingly. Thirdly, the rule engine is not flexible, extensible and learnable. To address these limitations, this project proposed an improved version of the rule engine which utilizes the Fusion Adaptive Resonance Theory (Fusion ART) [1]. The project also proposed a more abstract and generalized rule format to capture the rules into Extensible Markup Language (XML). New system architecture is introduced to bridge the gap between theoretical models and the implementation of the Fusion ART based rule engine. With a higher level of abstraction, the reusability of the rule engine component is also increased. Fusion ART based rule engine also proposed a new way of utilizing the Fusion ART, which uses a priority channel as an independent channel, together with other common channels including context, action. An instance of the Fusion ART based rule engine is implemented using Java. Unit test is being used to verify the functional behaviour of the rule engine by presenting the exact condition of each rule to the rule engine and compare expected and actual output. The result of the Unit test is positive; the rule engine passes all the test cases. Positive feedback is also received when testing the rule engine using an event simulator, which create a random scenario and present the current context data to the rule engine to retrieve the matching rule.

"I loved the idea that you could just lose yourself in the pages and that, through fashion, you could be the person you wanted to be"
At the time, Burns thought that to actually work in fashion, you had to either be a designer or a writer. And when she first revealed to a teacher that she wanted to work in the industry, she was sent to gain experience at a "granny" hair salon near her home.
Francesca Burns, the platinum blond Londoner who has styled countless cool girls, from Dree Hemingway to Lara Stone, and six months ago, was named fashion editor of British Vogue.
As a child growing up in Surrey, just outside of London, Burns used fashion as a means of escape and self-invention.
"I loved the transformation. And when I was little, I used to change outfits about 70 times a day, which drove my mum insane," she says with a smile. She poured over magazines like Vogue, i-D and The Face.
Learning the ropes, she says "what I learned was to trust my taste and instincts. You can't recreate. You can only be yourself."
As for her, "yourself" entails easy living glamour with an edge. She's all about color, prints, and texture.

Cashier Fights Off Armed Robber
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! To practice Active Self Protection, we want to minimize our personal risks while maximizing our protection. How would you have done that in this clerk's shoes?
Original video of the armed robber getting beat up, with details: https://get-asp.com/1ihs
What does this armed robber teach us about protecting ourselves from danger as good people?
- In any territorial or predatorial violence, the armed robber gets to set the time and circumstances of the attack. They will almost always launch that attack from ambush, or as we like to call it in Umas, from "obscurity." Surviving that ambush is one of the most important keys to successfully defending yourself. Training "from the ambush" is a great way to do that!
- In MANY armed robberies, a counter is between the armed robber and the intended victims. That counter is a double-edged sword, because it can keep a knife-wielding attacker out of contact, but keeps a firearm-wielding attacker safe from your contact unless they put it over the counter. Even then, your empty-handed skills will be sorely tested by a situation when you can't close the distance because of the counter top. The answer if you work in one of those environments is to train over the counter so that you know what your options and possibilities are. In this instance we can see how many times the clerk failed to get the gun from the armed robber, and that almost cost her dearly!
- The Five Ds are a tool that we use at ASP to organize our training and preparation for defending ourselves against an armed attacker when we are not armed ourselves. (or if we are armed but outdrawn such that we must deal with the problem with our hands) Deflect, Dominate, Distract, Disarm, Disable. We pursue them from first to last, in order, to give us the best chance of successfully defending ourselves against an armed opponent. Deflect their force multiplier, Dominate as much as possible (best is the whole person, second is the arm with the tool, last is the tool itself), Distract the attacker (usually using pain, redirection, movement, etc.), Disarm the attacker, and Disable the attacker.
- If you're going to keep a force multiplier handy (and you should), have you thought through how you're going to get to it, and how effective it will be in your environment? If you keep a firearm stationed near your bed, have you timed yourself getting it out and into the fight from a realistic position? Have you considered whether the force multiplier you've chosen will be effective in the amount of space you have to wield it? These are the questions you MUST ask before you consider a force multiplier for self-defense. In this instance, the hammer that the clerk had was honestly of almost no use. It doesn't have enough range to get to anyone over the counter, and wasn't available in the moment anyway.
- Empty-handed skills are absolutely critical for self-defenders. First of all, more conflicts you will encounter as a self-defender will require empty-handed skills than will require firearms skills, simply because more self-defense encounters are physical than deadly. Second, since a firearm is a tool of last resort, self-defenders need to have non-lethal options that include empty-handed skills to protect themselves from likely incidents. Third, in the moment of the encounter you may not have the time to get to your gun before you can fight your way to it.
- Fights are physically demanding. Sure, a pure gunfight might last 10 seconds and not place a huge burden on you physically, but the vast majority of encounters we see here at ASP involve physical self-defense as well. Getting into a honest-to-goodness fight with someone is incredibly physically demanding, so being physically fit is an important part of maximizing your chances to protect yourself. Fit people are harder to beat and harder to kill!
Attitude. Skills. Plan.

|"All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." - W.C. Fields
- Dumbass News - In San Antonio, W.C. Fields has escaped! No, not this W.C. Fields, but W.C. Fields the spider monkey. It seems that Tropical Storm Hermine did some damage to the San Antonio Zoo. Some of said damage occurred at the ape exhibit at the zoo. That's where W.C. (the monkey, not the guy) comes in. The storm tore up the wire enclosure that housed the monkey and he did what all good spider monkeys do when they get a Get Out of Monkey Jail Free Card, he ran like hell! Now, back to the word "wire" in the previous sentence. Wire? For a monkey cage? Really? What dumbass thought this was a good way to secure a frakkin' monkey? Does he (or she) not realize that even the smallest of monkeys are stronger than Hulk Hogan? Wire? Honestly? Did the idea of , I dunno, say, metal bars not cross someone's mind? Or, even better, put the damn monkey INSIDE the ape house! A real building! I am nearly 100% positive that the good folks at SA Zoo had ample warning that a Tropical Storm was on the way and I'm equally certain that they could have come up with a better plan to see that monkeys, apes and in-laws were securely housed during the onslaught of Hermine. The last I heard (I am not making this up), W.C. was still on the monkey lam and had at one point chased a lady into her garage and kept her there for over an hour. W.C. must look a lot like her ex-husband. Or my in-laws.

The girl behind the Northern Lights: Gao uses color in her artistry

Super Falcons captain Desire Oparanozie has argued that the Nigeria female national team deserve to be paid equally like their male counterparts, the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles rank high among the highest-paid teams in Africa and for Oparanozie since the achievements of the Super Falcons dwarf that of their male counterparts, it is not out of place to demand equal pay at the least.
The Super Falcons are the continent's most successful national side with nine titles and remain the only African team to have played at all eight Women's World Cup finals.
Presently, the Super Falcons are due to get US$3,000 for a win and $1,500 for a draw at major tournaments. The men's team receives $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.
"We are the most successful female team in Africa, yet we have the largest disparities between men's and women's pay," Oparanozie said at the 2019 Ladies In Sports (LIS) Conference in Lagos.
"I think we deserve equal pay. This big gap tells a different story and a proper rethink of this mode of payment could also help the women's game."
Oparanozie, who plays professionally in France with En Avant Guingamp, believes the women's team are on the right track in their quest for treatment that reflects their achievements and contributions to the sport.
"We have done the nation proud and I think the results over the years are there for all to see," she added.
"With positive results and more success, I believe we will get there, it's one step at a time."
The call by Oparanozie for equal pay with the men's team is not in isolation as some have already been leading similar campaigns in their various national teams across the world.
Already, the USA women's team have since begun legal action against the US Soccer Federation over equal pay and their agitation received even more credence after retaining the World Cup at France 2019.
It was the fourth World Cup triumph for the American Ladies while their male counterparts are struggling to qualify for their own World Cup let alone win.
Though opinions have been divided over this disparity in pay for men's and women's team, it has often been argued that the men's football is far more lucrative, hence the justified higher pay for the actors.
Nonetheless, in Africa, South Africa seems to have led the way having offered their women's team the same bonus as its male counterparts at the last World Cup.
Unfortunately, Bayana Bayana lost all their games in France.

Wisconsin conservative radio host Charlie Sykes goes off on right-wing insanity in The New York Times.
After nearly 25 years, I'm stepping down from my daily conservative talk radio show at the end of this month. I'm not leaving because of the rise of Donald J. Trump (my reasons are personal), but I have to admit that the campaign has made my decision easier. The conservative media is broken and the conservative movement deeply compromised.
How on earth did that happen?
When I wrote in August 2015 that Mr. Trump was a cartoon version of every left-wing media stereotype of the reactionary, nativist, misogynist right, I thought that I was well within the mainstream of conservative thought — only to find conservative Trump critics denounced for apostasy by a right that decided that it was comfortable with embracing Trumpism. But in Wisconsin, conservative voters seemed to reject what Mr. Trump was selling, at least until after the convention.
To be sure, some of my callers embraced Mr. Trump's suggestion for a ban on Muslims entering the country and voiced support for a proposal to deport all Muslims — even citizens. One caller compared American Muslims to rabid dogs. But right to the end, relatively few of my listeners bought into the crude nativism Mr. Trump was selling at his rallies.
What they did buy into was the argument that this was a "binary choice." No matter how bad Mr. Trump was, my listeners argued, he could not possibly be as bad as Mrs. Clinton. You simply cannot overstate this as a factor in the final outcome. As our politics have become more polarized, the essential loyalties shift from ideas, to parties, to tribes, to individuals. Nothing else ultimately matters.
In this binary tribal world, where everything is at stake, everything is in play, there is no room for quibbles about character, or truth, or principles. If everything — the Supreme Court, the fate of Western civilization, the survival of the planet — depends on tribal victory, then neither individuals nor ideas can be determinative. I watched this play out in real time, as conservatives who fully understood the threat that Mr. Trump posed succumbed to the argument about the Supreme Court. As even Mr. Ryan discovered, neutrality was not acceptable; if you were not for Mr. Trump, then you were for Mrs. Clinton.
The state of our politics also explains why none of the revelations, outrages or gaffes seemed to dent Mr. Trump's popularity. In this political universe, voters accept that they must tolerate bizarre behavior, dishonesty, crudity and cruelty, because the other side is always worse; the stakes are such that no qualms can get in the way of the greater cause.
For many listeners, nothing was worse than Hillary Clinton. Two decades of vilification had taken their toll: Listeners whom I knew to be decent, thoughtful individuals began forwarding stories with conspiracy theories about President Obama and Mrs. Clinton — that he was a secret Muslim, that she ran a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor. When I tried to point out that such stories were demonstrably false, they generally refused to accept evidence that came from outside their bubble. The echo chamber had morphed into a full-blown alternate reality silo of conspiracy theories, fake news and propaganda.
And this is where it became painful. Even among Republicans who had no illusions about Mr. Trump's character or judgment, the demands of that tribal loyalty took precedence. To resist was an act of betrayal.
When it became clear that I was going to remain #NeverTrump, conservatives I had known and worked with for more than two decades organized boycotts of my show. One prominent G.O.P. activist sent out an email blast calling me a "Judas goat," and calling for postelection retribution. As the summer turned to fall, I knew that I was losing listeners and said so publicly.
And then, there was social media. Unless you have experienced it, it's difficult to describe the virulence of the Twitter storms that were unleashed on Trump skeptics. In my timelines, I found myself called a "cuckservative," a favorite gibe of white nationalists; and someone Photoshopped my face into a gas chamber. Under the withering fire of the trolls, one conservative commentator and Republican political leader after another fell in line.
How had we gotten here?
One staple of every radio talk show was, of course, the bias of the mainstream media. This was, indeed, a target-rich environment. But as we learned this year, we had succeeded in persuading our audiences to ignore and discount any information from the mainstream media. Over time, we'd succeeded in delegitimizing the media altogether — all the normal guideposts were down, the referees discredited.
That left a void that we conservatives failed to fill. For years, we ignored the birthers, the racists, the truthers and other conspiracy theorists who indulged fantasies of Mr. Obama's secret Muslim plot to subvert Christendom, or who peddled baseless tales of Mrs. Clinton's murder victims. Rather than confront the purveyors of such disinformation, we changed the channel because, after all, they were our allies, whose quirks could be allowed or at least ignored.
We destroyed our own immunity to fake news, while empowering the worst and most reckless voices on the right.
This was not mere naïveté. It was also a moral failure, one that now lies at the heart of the conservative movement even in its moment of apparent electoral triumph. Now that the election is over, don't expect any profiles in courage from the Republican Party pushing back against those trends; the gravitational pull of our binary politics is too strong.
I'm only glad I'm not going to be a part of it anymore.

While it may (almost) be harder to believe than rumors of an alien abduction, Sunday was the 24th anniversary of The X-Files' pilot episode, marked by longtime costars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny tweeting at each other in what is both anticipation for the anxiously awaited season 11 and an ode to the paranormal smash series that convinced us the truth is still out there.
The photo Anderson tweeted of Mulder and Scully arguing in a downpour is kind of hilarious, followed by "24 years today. Déjà vu all over again. Thanks for repeatedly standing in the mud & the rain with me @davidduchovny." To which Duchovny replied: "What's a little mud and rain between partners.
I can totally see this screen-printed on a cake.
This is probably even better than cake for fans who are eager for the X-Files to open up again. Anderson and Duchovny's messages from space are coming just a month after new evidence about mytharc episodes and stand-alones was revealed and Annabeth Gish posted a cryptic Instagram photo.
Upon closer inspection, the photo of what looked like a strange ID card indicated she would be returning as Monica Reyes, though whether she will be redeemed or not after turning on the FBI and taking up with the Cigarette Smoking Man and his unsavory agenda remains a mystery.
Superfans who already saw them in that not-so-secret set pic but still can't wait to see the season 11 premiere can get a glimpse at New York Comic Con where Anderson, Duchovny, Chris Carter and Mitch Pileggi will preview the new 10-episode season, which picks up right after 2016's explosive finale. If that season's stellar ratings are any indication, this one is going to rocket straight through the stratosphere.
I believe that even more mysteries will unravel in the upcoming season. Do you believe?

Look what arrived!
The MaxMara Whitney Bag in red.
A brilliant tomato shade. Perfect for Fall.
This addition now makes a trio.
Good things come in threes, they say.
I'll say.
From fairy tales to Hollywood blockbusters, The Rule of Three (Latin: omne trium perfectum) principle suggests things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying and effective than any other number of things.
~ English Language & Usage Stack Exchange
The Latin phrase omne trium perfectum (everything that comes in threes is perfect, or, every set of three is complete) conveys the same idea as the rule of three.

Functional Model
The functional model is pretty much everywhere you care to look in the world of business. Work is mostly organized around units and departments, based on common job functions. For instance, in a company with a functional structure, all marketers are grouped together in one department; all salespeople are grouped together in a separate department; and all customer service people are grouped together in a third department, and so on. The pecking order is elongated and linear in large corporations, with several layers of seniority. The functional model has very few chiefs at the top and lots of soldiers at the bottom. So the functional model centralizes decision-making; decisions are escalated up the ranks. The archetypal organizational chart reflects these characteristics. Figure 7.1 is a simple illustration of the functional model.
The four functions in the model enable specialization. Employees work together in large organizing structures with a common understanding and similar job roles and responsibilities. As the company grows, the structure is easily scalable; additional vertical layers can be added without great difficulty. Its structure is simple to comprehend, administer, alter, and illustrate. Based on the scientific management principle of specialization, its appeal is long-lasting and universal.
But the main downside of the functional model is its inherent rigidity. Barriers and conflict are commonplace, particularly between functions (departments). Cross-functional communication is stifled. Typically, managers in this structure expect their employees to obey the chain-of-command; they place greater emphasis on vertical (functional)
Fig. 7.1 Functional model communication ahead of horizontal (cross-functional) communication. So change across the organization is slower than needed in a fast-paced marketplace. But in a stable and predictable marketplace, the functional model works fine. But it's not a suitable model for a business trying to adapt to myriad pressures and transformations in the VUCA environment we spoke of in the last chapter.
With its concentration on vertical lines of communication, the functional model's capacity for adaptive performance is severely curtailed. Approval to make a reasonably simple decision, for instance, can pass through several hands and this can take unnecessary time.
Building understanding across and between various functions of the business is problematic too. As I said, cross-functional communication isn't encouraged to the same degree as vertical communication. Ideas and collaboration are contained within silos and exposure to other functional areas—and the fresh perspective this may bring—is limited. Briefly, this structure narrows perspective and emboldens intractable rather than flexible behavior.

As a business owner, you're likely obsessed with productivity and eking out all you can from each hour of every day. After all, it's your business. But letting your personal budget suffer, while your professional budget works overtime, is absolutely counterproductive.
Of course, we all do it. From overly costly healthcare plans and wasted prescription budgets to buying one bagel each morning instead of a half-dozen for the week--it all adds up. Furthermore, the money you make is not just for saving or spending; smart investments will boost your bank balance too. But all of this requires planning and foresight.
The following infographic by UPromise by Sallie Mae offers some tips for finding those extra pennies under your couch cushions--and even your home office chair.

Cheney Lake releases excess water Wednesday morning
The Bureau of Reclamation notified Sedgwick County that, because the level of Cheney Lake continues to rise, it will be necessary to open the flood gates to lower the reservoir. Even with this release, the forecast is for Cheney Lake to reach a record height of 1,430.5 feet. At 6 a.m. Wednesday morning, May 22, the gates opened gradually until completely open by early Wednesday afternoon.
The released water will flow first along the 15 miles of the North Fork of the Ninnescah River from below the dam to the confluence with the South Fork. This portion will overflow by 8 a.m. Wednesday. The extent of the flooding in the north branch from this release is presently undetermined. This channel's normal water capacity is 1,500 cubic feet per second and it will have about 4,200 cubic feet per second flowing through when the gates are opened.
The impact in areas farther downstream near Clearwater, Peck, and into Sumner County will be better known once the River Forecast Center issues an updated outlook for the lower portion of the river.
In general, people who live along the river, especially in areas prone to flooding, should take appropriate precautions now, and be prepared to evacuate to higher ground if necessary. This certainly will cause additional or prolonged road flooding along the river. Never drive around barricades, and even if no barricades are present, do not drive into water-covered roadways.

2. It Hydrates Your Body:
The electrolyte content present in coconut water keeps the body hydrated and thus providing energy. Coconut water is known to promote weight loss as it refreshes the body and encourages it to work out more than usual thus shedding the extra calories.
3. Presence of Relevant Nutrients Like Protein, Vitamin and Potassium:
The presence of these nutrients makes the body fitter. The presence of proteins is known to be suppressing the appetite of a person thus preventing extra intake of calories. Vitamin C has anti-oxidizing properties that make coconut water suitable for lowering the BMI and enhancing the immune system. As for potassium, it helps in the conversion of food into energy and aids muscle building, thus instead of putting on weight one tend to tone the muscles of a body if one drinks coconut water regularly.
4. Diuretic:
Coconut water is diuretic in nature and is therefore excellent for weight loss. It means that drinking coconut water urges the body to flush out the toxins through the passing of urine, and losing out on the weight of the liquid that is excreted from the body.

This report is a summary of the preliminary findings from Annaleise Depper's PhD research. Annaleise is a PhD Student in the Physical Culture, Sport and Health Research Group at the University of Bath.
Project aims
The aim of the project was to explore young people's experiences of leisure, active mobility and inequality in Swindon. This project identifies the complexities of active living and the everyday challenges faced by young people.
What do we currently know?
BackgroundAs the population ages, older people account for a greater proportion of the health and social care budget. Whereas some research has been conducted on the use of music therapy for specific clinical populations, little rigorous research has been conducted looking at the value of community singing on the mental health-related quality of life of older people.AimsTo evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community group singing for a population of older people in England.Method
Current evidence suggests that participatory arts activities, and particularly group singing, may contribute to the well-being of older people. However, there is currently a paucity of prospective research from the participant perspective. This qualitative study nested within a randomized controlled trial aimed to assess participants' perspectives of the acceptability and effect on health and well-being of a community singing program for older people.
This report shares the learning from a creative project in four Nottinghamshire schools which used collaboration with artists to improve the emotional health of the whole school community.
The Creativity in Care programme was delivered by City Arts (Nottingham) and commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council. The Creativity in Care programme built on a premise of creatively exploring 'whole' care home environments and investigating how we might develop approaches that best respond to the individual needs of older people.
For over 30 years, City Arts Nottingham (CAN) has developed expertise in working creatively with communities, enabling individuals and organisations to change by releasing their creative potential. The majority of our work takes place within Nottingham City and County and the East Midlands. We collaborate with public, private and voluntary sector agencies to achieve shared goals and meet key local and national agendas. Our projects prioritise marginalised communities and break down barriers to accessing cultural provision.
Assesses different models and methods of measuring the economic and social impact of the arts, and the quality and appropriateness of existing research methods. - See more at: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/publication_archive/measuring-the-economic-and-social-impact-of-the-arts/#sthash.MRDLGSht.dpuf
This Research Directory, made possible by a partnership with the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine, is regularly updated with research from the field.
This practical guide aims to inspire ethically-aware practitioners to become ethically-aware researchers, evaluators and participants. Conducting a research project, whatever the setting, requires not only knowledge of research methods but also an in-depth understanding of research ethics. Embedded in 'real life' experiences of research ethics applications, this guide navigates the reader through research ethics procedures, drawing from legislation and a range of research ethics committee regulations.
The aim of this web-based publication is to collate research papers and other key sources of information, to help practitioners locate the resources they need quickly and easily. Following the success of the first (2010)and second (2012) edition, this third edition provides 21 Accounts with over a thousand references.
