The institutional left's funding behemoth W.K. Kellogg Foundation has partnered with and given major donations to George Soros's Open Society Institute and the Tides Center as part of its massive push to promote a far-left agenda.The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is the nonprofit arm of cereal and sweets giant Kellogg's, based in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company is chiefly known for its breakfast brands, including Special K™ cereal, Eggo® waffles, and Pop-Tarts®; but its namesake nonprofit W.K. Kellogg Foundation is one of the largest institutional funders in the world and is the seventh largest philanthropic foundation in the United States. The Kelloggs company is being exposed like no other company in recent historry, because not only are they tied to George Soros...But Kelloggs is also tied to Black Lives Matter and child labor around the world. Now I would suspect that Kelloggs is about to become a failed American company since they are now tied to all this evil, especially since Kelloggs is involved in funding George Soros and his evil operations like Black Lives Matter. Since Kelloggs hand in evil around the world and in America has been exposed a couple of days ago, the stock value of Kelloggs alone has fallen nearly four percent during the up stock market since Donald Trump became the 45th President. If a cereal company is funding the take down of America through funding George Soros and his evil operations, you can bet many other major corporations in America will be exposed in the coming days...In being behind the funding of George Soros and his evil operations, and you can bet this is one of the major factors that turned this NAZI into one of the worlds most wealthy people.


"Username Authentication with Symmetric Keys".
What is/are the correct statement(s)?
- This WSIT-mechanism protects the Web Service for 'integrity' and 'confidentiality'.
I was thinking that Username/Password is for 'authentication', and that the symmetric key is for encryption/'confidentiality', but how does 'integrity' come in?
My idea was that any of the signature techniques satisfies 'integrity'.
... but how does 'integrity' come in?
on a single, shared secret key that is used to both sign and encrypt a message.
Symmetric keys are usually faster than public key cryptography.
the truststore by identifying the server's certificate alias.
why is the last Statement wrong? Symmetric key does mean that the key is used to both sign and encrypt a message.
You are right, the last answer is correct!

Tax Sting on Australian Expatriates' Main Residence
The re-introduced legislation to remove the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) main residence exemption for foreign residents has been passed by the Parliament on 5 December 2019 and is now awaiting Royal Assent. The proposed legislation was originally introduced by the Government in February 2018 but had lapsed after the 2019 Federal election was called. Any hope that the Parliament may reconsider the controversial policy has now been dashed.
Under the previous rules, the CGT main residence exemption was available for foreign residents provided that they satisfy the relevant requirements. This exemption is particularly useful for Australian expatriates who still keep their residence after leaving Australia. Upon the sale of the property, foreign residents may be able to claim either full or partial exemption on any capital gain made.
However, under the new legislation, an individual who is a foreign resident at the time of the sale of the main residence will be subject to full CGT on the capital gain made. This applies regardless of how long they may have used the property as their main residence or how long they were a tax resident of Australia. There will be no apportionment at all, you are either in or out.
Consider a not uncommon scenario where a former resident of Australia, who has established a house in Australia as their main residence, moves overseas for work or family reasons and becomes a non-resident. They may have owned and lived in their house for 20 years, it clearly qualifying as their main residence, but take up a 3-year posting overseas, with their family. Whilst overseas, for whatever reason, they decide to sell their former home. Under these proposed amendments, they get no exemption for the previous 20 years of the property being their main residence, and pay CGT on any capital gain made on the property (after allowance for the pro-rata CGT discount for the period they were a tax resident of Australia). By any measure this is unfair and retrospective, in that the current tax residency position of the taxpayer dictates the way the entire 23 years of ownership of the property is treated.
As a final note, a transitional provision is available to push back the application date to 1 July 2020 for properties that were held or acquired before 9 May 2017 (when the policy was first announced by the Government during the Federal Budget announcement). This provides a window of opportunity for those who may be adversely affected by the new legislation to seek tax advice and make an informed decision accordingly. The extended application date, however, does not apply to properties acquired on or after 9 May 2017.
If you have any queries on how the new legislation may affect you, please contact the Walker Wayland office and speak with Iggy.

All praise and thanks are for Allah, the lord of all creations.
"All praise and thanks" (al-Ḥamd): This word الْحَمْدُ (al-Ḥamd) is used only to describe someone, out of love and honor, with complete perfection of self, attributes, and actions. So, Allah is perfect in his self, his attributes, and his actions. This praising, however, must be with a condition, it must be made with love and honor. The people of knowledge say that simply describing someone with perfection yet not out of real love and honor for the praised one is not called حَمْدُ (Ḥamd). Rather, in that case it would only be called مَدْح (Madḥ) (a lesser degree of praise or admiration). Therefore, this (second) type of praising occurs often from people while they may not really love the one they are praising. Often, they only want to gain something from them. For example, some poets stand before their government leaders and recite poetry of amazing praiseworthy descriptions of them yet void of any real love for them. The poets' love is for the wealth they are given or they do this out of fear of the leaders. On the contrary, our praise for our lord is a form of praise out of love and honor. So, "All praise and thanks" is to praise the one described with total perfection out of love and honor for him.
The ال (al-) in الْحَمْدُ (al-Ḥamd) is inclusive, meaning that it includes all forms of praise and thanks.
"are for Allah" (lillāhi): The لِ (li) is to show possession and a sense of deserving. The name "Allah" is the proper name of our lord ( عزّ وجلّ ) and no one else is given this name; it means the one god that is worshipped out of love and honor.
"the lord" (Rabb): The word "lord" here includes three main descriptions: the creator, the owner, and the controller of all affairs. So, he is the creator of all that exists, the owner of all that exists, and the controller of everything.
"of all creations" (al-'Ālamīn): As for the word "'Ālamīn", the scholars say it refers to anything and everything other than Allah. Everything else besides Allah is described with this word because the very existence of everything is a sign or indication (in Arabic: Ālam) that they have a creator (سبحانه وتعالى) In every form of creation there is a sign indicating the existence of its creator, his capability, wisdom, mercy, power, and the rest of his attributes of lordship.
1. One of the beneficial points we gain from this verse is the affirmation of praise of perfection to Allah ( عزّ وجلّ ). This is shown by the "al-" in the word "al-Ḥamd" because this definite article in Arabic grammar is inclusive to include all forms or praise and gratitude.
All praise and thanks are for Allah by whose favor righteous deeds are fulfilled.
All praise and thanks are for Allah in all situations.
3. Another point of benefit from the verse is the description of Allah with his sole right to worship first before describing him with his lordship. This is either indicated because the name "Allah" is his proper name, specific to him and the source of all the rest of His names; or it is due to the fact that the people the messengers were sent to used to only deny Allah's sole right to worship. Most of the people did not deny Allah's lordship (that he is the creator, owner, and controller of everything).
 Recorded by Ibn Mājah (no. 3803) and al-Ḥākim in his "Mustadrak" (1/449) and he said, "This ḥadīth has an authentic chain of narrators." adh-Dhahabī agreed with him. The famous ḥadīth scholar, al-Albānī, said it is "ḥasan" in "Ṣaḥīḥ Sunan Ibn Mājah" (no. 3066).

Preston North End boss Alex Neil has spoken about the latest speculation linking him with the West Bromwich Albion job.
Neil faced the media at Springfields on Thursday morning to preview Saturday's trip to Albion – it is Gentry Day for PNE fans.
He said: "I'm not going to talk about West Brom, I'm manager of Preston North End.
"People can talk all they want to talk.
"At the end of the day I have a job to do here and we have a match to prepare for on Saturday.
"That is where my focus is.
"The fact we are playing West Brom is probably why the speculation has reared its head again.
"It is what it is, I'm not in control of that.
Asked if he found the link to West Brom flattering, Neil said: "If I'm being honest I take this with a pinch of salt.
"The reason why is that I have been managing for quite a while considering how young I am and I have been involved in both sides.
"I have been involved where people are talking about my work and want to get me, getting praised.
"But I have also been on the other side when people are saying I'm rubbish and want me sacked.
"When you are managing you can't dwell into these things.
"I don't look at anything like this.
"Regardless of how well you are doing there is always going to be someone saying you are rubbish.
"There is always going to be someone regardless of how poor you are doing who will fight your corner.
"That is the nature of football, unfortunately not everyone likes everybody.

Q: How to do Chinese speech recognition in iPhone Can OpenEars do Chinese speech recognition? See here: http://www.politepix.com/openears

A: I'm the OpenEars developer. OpenEars only does English-language speech recognition out of the box. There is a Mandarin acoustic model in the Pocketsphinx distribution that OpenEars uses, so it might be possible to substitute it for the English acoustic model in the instructions, if you have your own method for creating a compatible language model and phonetic dictionary and you're up for doing some self-directed research and testing. The acoustic model is called tdt_sc_8k. You would use it instead of the folder in the instructions called hub4wsj_sc_8k, but there is more you'd need to do to get it working.
If you wanted to try this, you'd want to read the Sphinx project documentation at the CMU speech site in order to get a clear understanding of the relationship between the acoustic model, the language model and the phonetic dictionary, and figure out how to create your compatible language model. You might be able to start with the phonetic dictionary on this page as a master dictionary that you can create smaller iPhone-sized phonetic dictionaries and subsequently language models from, since it is presumably compatible with the acoustic model. The language model on that page is far too large for OpenEars. For testing I would probably create a command and control model of around 100 words. You should be able to use the Sphinx Knowledge Base Tool to create the language model from a corpus of words that you've already made a phonetic dictionary from.
The next step would be to verify your acoustic model, language model and phonetic dictionary as known-working in a conventional Pocketsphinx install, for instance on Linux. If you get good results with that, you could come over to the OpenEars forum and I will attempt to help you get it working in OpenEars (there are no guarantees there since that acoustic model has never been part of testing, but I also can't think of a particular reason that it wouldn't work). OpenEars' LanguageModelGenerator class will definitely only work with English. You are responsible for making sure that the acoustic model is licensed in a way that doesn't prevent it from being used in an App Store app if that is how you are planning to distribute your project.
Good luck!
EDIT: I wanted to update this to let you know that the Mandarin acoustic model is now part of OpenEarsExtras, and to say that LanguageModelGenerator has now been updated so that you can give it an arbitrary master phonetic dictionary of your choice if you have one with the correct formatting (that is, the word followed by a tab followed by the phonemes followed by a line break, alphabetized) which should make it much easier to use the dynamic language modeler with languages other than English if you already have an acoustic model.
The way it ought to work is that you have a lookup dictionary in the language you want that is analogous to the cmu07a.dic that is the default English lookup dictionary, and LanguageModelGenerator handles the rest, so my statement about it requiring multiple steps and research should not necessarily be the case any longer if you have a phonetic dictionary that pronunciations can be looked up from. Feedback on how this works for you in practice would be very much appreciated at the OpenEars forum (please do not give feedback or bug reports here on Stack Overflow).

a purer theory of happiness.
THE change we are here contemplating consists in the disposition of every member of the community voluntarily to resign that which would be productive of a much higher degree of benefit and pleasure when possessed by his neighbour than when occupied by himself. Undoubtedly, this state of society is remote from the modes of thinking and acting which at present prevail. A long period of time must probably elapse before it can he brought entirely into practice. All we have been attempting to establish is that such a state of society is agreeable to reason, and prescribed by justice; and that, of consequence, the progress of science and political truth among mankind is closely connected with its introduction. The inherent tendency of intellect is to improvement. If therefore this inherent tendency be suffered to operate, and no concussion of nature or inundation of barbarism arrest its course, the state of society we have been describing must, at some time, arrive.
Upon this statement, it is first to be remarked that, if true, it presents to us a picture in the highest degree melancholy and discouraging. It discovers a disease to which it is probable there is no remedy. Human knowledge must proceed. What we see and admire we shall at some time or other seek to attain: Such is the inevitable law of our nature. It is impossible not to see the beauty of equality, and not to be charmed with the benefits it appears to promise. It is impossible not to regret the unbounded mischiefs and distress that grow out of the opposite system. The consequence is sure. Man, according to these reasoners, is prompted, for some time, to advance with success but after that, in the very act of pursuing further improvement, he necessarily plunges beyond the compass of his powers, and has his petty career to begin afresh: always pursuing what is beautiful, always frustrated in his object, always involved in calamities by the very means he employs to escape them.
A spontaneous equality of conditions also implies purer theory of happiness than has hitherto obtained. Men will cease to regard with complacence the happiness that consists in spendour and ostentation, of which the true object, however disguised, is to insult our neighbours, and to feed our own vanity, with the recollection of the goods that we possess, and from which, though endowed with an equal claim, they are debarred. They will cease to derive pleasure from the empire to be possessed over others, or the base servility and terror with which they may address us. They will be contented for the most part, with the means of healthful existence, and of unexpensive pleasure. They will find the highest gratification in promoting and contemplating the general happiness. They will regard superfluities, absolutely considered, with no impatience of desire; and will abhor the idea of obtaining them through the medium of oppression and injustice. This conduct they would be induced to observe, even were their own gratification only in view and, instead of repining at the want of exorbitant indulgencies, they will stand astonished that men could ever have found gratification in that which was visibly stamped and contaminated with the badge of extortion.

PhD title: Interaction for comparison of graphs
What research are you undertaking?
Towards comparison of large networks (graphs) using computer graphics and interaction. Aimed at exploratory analysis, i.e. gaining "insight" and "understanding" of large, complex data sets.
What is the purpose of your research?
To demonstrate that computer graphics and interaction can enable comparison of data sets that would otherwise be too large to analyse and explore.
How will this apply to real world applications?
Software engineers need to understand how a software system has changed between subsequent versions.
Project managers need to compare various work schedules. Epidemiologists can compare social networks with networks that map the spread of contagious disease to see if they correlate (e.g. HIV/AIDS is linked with sexual relationships).
What facilities and specialist equipment do you use to help you carry out your research?
State of the art desktop computers with high-end graphics cards needed to run my software – we have whole labs of such machines so I can carry out user studies with several participants at the same time. Similarly the machine on my own desk is powerful enough to execute and develop complex, graphically intensive software.
What do you particularly enjoy about your research?
The support, space and freedom to think and try out my own ideas. The notion of becoming an expert in an international discipline. Involvement at all levels: from running graph theory tutorials with level 2 undergraduates to seminars and conferences where I can mix with people at various stages in their career who have similar interests.
Why did you choose to undertake a PhD? Why did you choose to do this at the University of Leeds?
Came to Leeds to do bachelors degree so I could get a job in IT but enjoyed an academic setting so wanted to stick around and prove myself at a high academic level. The research-led curriculum and internshipduring my BSc made transition to PhD level easier and I already knew it's a friendly, supportive school. Happy to stay in same house, some friends stayed on as well so had a ready made support network. This was especially important to me as a mature student.
What are your plans after you complete your PhD?
Postdoc research towards academic career – also interested in lecturing but possibly would like to spend some time working for large corporate such as BT or Google.

Kościół ewangelicko-reformowany w Pstrążnej – świątynia ewangelicka Kościoła Ewangelicko-Reformowanego należąca do Parafii Ewangelicko-Reformowanej w Pstrążnej.

Historia
W osiemnastym wieku tereny Śląska po wojnach między Austrią a Prusami przypadły w panowanie Fryderykowi Wielkiemu. Dało to początek szerokiej wolności wyznaniowej dla ewangelików. Zarówno luteranie, jak i ewangelicy reformowani sprzymierzeni z braćmi czeskimi, zamieszkujący Kudowę i jej okolice, pragnęli mieć własne miejsce, w którym mogliby na stałe odprawiać nabożeństwa. Pierwszy kościół ewangelicki w regionie powstał z inicjatywy czeskiego pastora luterańskiego – Jana Augusta Pokornego, który pieniądze na budowę świątyni pozyskiwał w całych Prusach.

Kościół luterański, który początkowo miał stanąć w Czermnej, ostatecznie został wybudowany na Górze Parkowej w Kudowie. Na mocy umowy pomiędzy luteranami a ewangelikami reformowanymi, budynek kościoła służył obu wyznaniom. Odległość od Pstrążnej, uciążliwa dla starszych osób droga i bogate wyposażenie luterańskiej świątyni zniechęcały jednak ewangelików reformowanych do uczęszczania tam na nabożeństwa. Podjęto decyzję o budowie nowego kościoła. W 1811 roku otrzymano pozwolenie na budowę nowego obiektu. Pierwszy kościół reformowany, który ostatecznie powstał w 1813 roku, był konstrukcją drewnianą.

W 1817 roku w pobliżu kościoła wybudowano budynek mieszczący plebianię i szkołę ewangelicką. W roku 1829 władze pruskie oficjalnie uznały parafię reformowaną w Pstrążnej, a rok później, na mocy ugody pomiędzy luteranami a ewangelikami reformowanymi, będącej konsekwencją dekretu króla Fryderyka Wilhelma III o połączeniu w jeden organizm kościelny wyznań luterańskiego i reformowanego, do parafii przydzielono pierwszego pastora – Ernsta Josefa Bergmanna. Dzięki jego staraniom w 1848 roku powstał murowany kościół, który stoi do dziś. Został on oddany do użytku 24 września, dzień wcześniej w starym drewnianym kościółku odprawiono ostatnie nabożeństwo połączone z konfirmacją. Nowy kościół powstał ze składek miejscowych wiernych oraz dużego wsparcia finansowego ze strony organizacji Gustav-Adolf-Werk. W 1876 roku wybudowano w miejsce starej plebanii dwa nowe budynki, w których mieściły się plebania i szkoła.

W roku 2016 kościół przeszedł generalny remont wnętrza, przy zachowaniu pierwotnych barw, bez naruszenia wystroju świątyni.

"Everybody Hurts Sometimes" é uma canção da cantora inglesa Pixie Lott contida no seu segundo álbum de estúdio, Young Foolish Happy, de 2011. Composta por Lott, James Bourne e Christopher J. Baran, foi produzida pelo último sob seu nome artístico, Captain Hook, também conhecido como Cj Baran. Uma balada sentimental do gênero soul, contém em sua estrutura musical a execução de instrumentos de cordas e violão acompanhados à voz da artista. A faixa recebeu críticas mistas, com algumas apontando a voz da intérprete como favorável, ao passo que sua letra e ritmo foram considerados banais. A composição estreou na trigésima posição da tabela de mais vendidas da Coreia do Sul, a Gaon Music Chart, em sua edição internacional. Foi também apresentada em severas ocasiões pela vocalista, com o caso de algumas serem televisionadas como no programa britânico Blue Peter.

Antecedentes e composição
Em janeiro de 2011, a cantora inglesa Pixie Lott começou a trabalhar no seu segundo álbum de estúdio, Young Foolish Happy. O blogueiro estado-unidense Perez Hilton, inicialmente defensor de Lott no seu país, sugeriu que o compositor conhecido Cj Baron colaborasse com a cantora. Outro músico que juntou-se aos dois para compor canções foi James Bourne e o trio então começou a fazer projetos em um dia de folga da artista em Londres. Sem conhecimento da gravadora da intérprete, o resultado foi a música "Everybody Hurts Sometimes".

A obra é uma balada de quatro minutos e três segundos do gênero soul na qual instrumentos de cordas e um piano acompanham a voz de Lott.

Recepção
"Everybody Hurts Sometimes" foi analisada na apresentação de Lott no local de concertos Forum, na cidade de Londres, em outubro de 2011. Chris Mugan, do jornal The Independent, comentou que a cantora consegue atingir todas as notas da canção em sua execução, ao passo que chamou suas letras e ritmo de "banais". Porém, David Smyth, do Evening Standard, observou que a canção, por seu estilo sentimental, veio a concluir o espetáculo de forma positiva.

Após o lançamento do Young Foolish Happy, a faixa estreou na trigésima posição da tabela internacional de composições sul-coreana, a Gaon Music Chart.

Apresentações ao vivo
Além do concerto mencionado anteriormente, "Everybody Hurts Sometimes" foi incluída em uma série de aparições televisivas pela cantora após o lançamento do Young Foolish Happy: em dezembro de 2011 no programa britânico This Morning, no qual fez uma versão acústica da canção, e mais tarde no Blue Peter.

Preview 'King Conan: The Conqueror #1' From Dark Horse
By Culturesmash | Monday, February 3rd, 2014 at 3:00 pm
In the wake of the announcement that the Star Wars comics line will be making an exodus from Dark Horse Comics, the publisher has been releasing plenty of teasers for what they have in store to replace the iconic franchise. Thus far we haven't really seen a new series or franchise that's as epic as Star Wars, but instead we're being treated to a myriad of titles that offer up a wider scope of storytelling styles and genres. In the end the loss of Star Wars by Dark Horse may equal a gain for fans of alternative comic book stories with the company's choices in filling the void.
We've already seen previews of the upcoming Tomb Raider and Terminator series and now we have a new Conan offering on the way titled King Conan: The Conqueror. In this new series, Conan is a fugitive on the run trying to find the key to regaining his throne.
King Conan: The Conqueror is written by Tim Truman with art from Tomás Giorello. King Conan: The Conqueror #1 will be released on February 26, 2014 and is available for pre-order now. We've got an 8-page preview of the first issue here below.
King Conan: The Conqueror #1
In the port city of Messantia, the deposed, fugitive Conan could uncover the key to regaining his throne—or he could get a knife in the back! Conan follows a lead to a lost relic, revisits an old friend, and finds that he's not alone in his risky hunt for a missing, magical gem.
* Continuing the acclaimed Hour of the Dragon adaptation!
"Truman, Giorello, and Villarrubia . . . have created possibly the best Conan adaptation ever made."—Comics Bulletin

Indonesia is hoping to throw off its reputation for natural disasters and corruption and become a magnet for the foreign investment deemed vital to its plans to become an Asian powerhouse.
But Investment Coordinating Board chairman Gita Wirjawan said the mainly Muslim archipelago of some 235 million people has a long way to go before it can take its place alongside China and India in the so-called Asian Century.
"We've got a PR deficit… For foreigners, Indonesia is a country of tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorism, street demonstrations and scandals. That needs to be changed," he told an economic conference in Jakarta.
Spooked by the turmoil surrounding the 1997-1998 financial crisis and the fall of the Suharto regime, foreign investors have taken a long time to start to think again about Indonesia's potential, analysts said.
But it is now roaring back into favour, with its large and upwardly mobile domestic market and sound economic fundamentals catching the eye of fund managers with a new appetite for risk.
"Three years ago, Indonesia was not seen as a relevant country by international investors," HSBC Indonesia chief executive Rakesh Bhatia said.
Indonesia demanded attention as the rest of the world plunged into crisis in 2008-09, growing at 4.5 percent last year, third only after China and India in the Group of 20 industrialised and developing countries.
In addition to a growing middle class of 50 million people, Indonesia boasts low labour costs, vast natural resources, strong foreign currency reserves, low inflation and a recent record of sound economic management.
Its young democracy is not without its rough edges, but the country last year voted for stability when it re-elected President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, a centrist ex-general, to a second five-year term.
Yudhoyono has promised to remove regulatory bottlenecks to investment and stamp out rampant corruption, but analysts said words alone will not be enough to open the floodgates for foreign capital.
Poor infrastructure is another perennial problem which the government has vowed to address.
"Illustrative of the country's inter-island infrastructure inadequacy, it apparently costs more for an orange juice distributor in Java to procure from Kalimantan than to do so from China, at least four times the distance away," HSBC said in a report this month.
He said Indonesia hoped to attract US$90 billion of private infrastructure investment in the next five years, the lion's share of an ambitious $140-billion infrastructure spending plan.
Richard Kitts, head of Nokia Siemens Networks in Jakarta, said: "Indonesia has become a very exciting market for us.
"It has become easier to do business here. But the infrastructure challenges are huge," he added.


The husband hadn't had his coffee yet when he snapped this, so it's a little out of focus.
I've been slacking in the hairstyling department, so in order to help me get my act together, I'm kicking off a new column. Every Tuesday I'll post photos of a new braided hairstyle. If that's not motivation, I'm not sure what is.
Today's look: A braided halo. It's different from this one in that you must have long hair to pull it off. If your hair is medium-length or shorter (but still long enough to braid), try this cheater version.
Step 1: Part the front of your hair where you like it.
Step 2: Start French braiding your hair (check out this braiding video for help with that) along one side of your head – starting right at the top. You'll French braid it along your hairline until you reach your opposite ear. At this point, all of your hair should be in the French braid.
Step 3: Regular braid your hair until you reach the ends (like you would with a normal French braid. Secure with a tiny, clear elastic. The braid should now be hanging loose over your ear.
Step 4: Wrap the hanging tail of your braid around to the opposite side of your head. Secure it to the crown of your head. Hide the ends of your hair and the elastic by tucking them under the braid and securing with a couple of bobby pins.

Next Media picks close aide to Ma to head TV station
Former Taipei deputy mayor King Pu-tsung (金溥聰) will take up the position of chief executive officer of Next Media's (壹傳媒集團) new TV station from Monday and promised objective reporting on the government despite being a close aide to President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九).
Both of the Hong Kong publisher's local publications, the Chinese-language Apple Daily and Next Magazine, published exclusive interviews with King yesterday in which he confirmed he would take the job.
King said the station would report objectively on the Ma administration.
King said he had informed Ma about his new position and that he would continue to advise the Ma administration in private.
King visited Next Media's headquarters yesterday afternoon but did not comment on his new position. In the interviews published yesterday, King reiterated his promise not to take a formal post with the Ma administration and said he expected the TV station to have an impact on the nation's political culture.
"I like challenges and being able to create new situations. Returning to politics would only reinforce the stereotypes against me. It's not fair to Mr Ma and it's not fair to me," the Apple Daily quoted King as saying.
When asked whether the TV station would favor Ma and his administration, King said he would not interfere with the selection of news and expected his news team to be free of political leanings.
King, 53, has been one of Ma's top aides for several years.
He served as commissioner of Taipei City's Information Department and as Taipei deputy mayor during Ma's stint as Taipei mayor.
King also played a key role in Ma's campaigns for Taipei mayor in 1998 and 2002, KMT chairman in 2005 and president last year.
King said he accepted the invitation of Next Media founder Jimmy Lai (黎智英) to serve as CEO because he and Lai shared similar values and political stances and both hoped to establish a TV station with diverse coverage and credibility.
After Ma's victory in the presidential election last March, King said he would not take a position in Ma's administration. He went to Hong Kong last summer, where he took up a six-month teaching position as a visiting professor at a Hong Kong university.
Lai has expanded his media empire in Taiwan since 2003, launching Taiwanese editions of the weekly Next Magazine and the Apple Daily newspaper.
The two publications have drawn criticism from the National Communications Commission and the public over a muckraking style and graphic photographs.
Presidential Office Spokesman Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦) yesterday said the president understood and respected King's decision.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Wu Yu-sheng (吳育昇) urged the public to respect King's career plans. Wu said no one could question King's expertise in media studies simply because of his relationship with Ma.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said yesterday it was inappropriate for the firm to choose someone closely aligned with the president to head its TV station.
"King is a core aide to Ma. King's political influence is undeniable. [Putting] King in charge of a TV station would mean a return of politics to the media field," DPP spokesman Cheng Wen-tsang (鄭文燦) said, adding that Ma and King owed the public an explanation.
In response to reporters' questions on whether King would act as an "underground" Government Information Office minister, DPP Legislator Chen Chi-yu (陳啟昱) said "he has always been [in the Ma government]."
The NCC said yesterday it had yet to receive Next Media's application to launch a TV channel.
It said any new channel would be subject to the Satellite Radio and Television Act (衛星廣播電視法).
NCC spokesperson Lee Ta-sung (李大嵩) said once King's appointment is finalized and formally listed on the operational plans for the TV channel, the commission will check whether King holds any positions in a political party.
Article 9 of the Act stipulates elected officials and government or political party workers may not found a satellite radio or TV channel or take a position as board member, executive or manager.

How Improved Pattern Recognition Can Save Your Math Career!
There is a reason that whenever my dog hears the word vet, he starts yapping like a wild hyena (see below!). Mark Mattson of the Frontiers in Neuroscience wrote that it is the humans ability to recognize patterns that places them at the top of the intellectual food chain. My dog understands that when he hears the word vet, it is associated with certain procedures that he probably would not like to be reminded of(still sorry about that Cooper). Similarly , the human brain is programmed to look for universal patterns in our surroundings. One way we quantify those patterns: Math.
As much as it doesn't feel like it when we're sitting in pre calculus, our brains are programmed to understand math on a fundamental level. That doesn't mean that we are going to grasp these seemingly obtuse concepts instantly, but rather that we all have the capability if we know what to look for. Let's take trigonometry as an example: when I am given a number in radians such as cos(560𝝅) all I have to do is think of the unit circle. I know that every 2𝝅 results in one full spin around the unit circle and puts me back at cos = 1. Therefore, I can apply that pattern just 280 times and voila, cos(560𝝅) = 1. Or how about when I am looking at a triangle with sides 3 and 4. Well, I can know without any help from pythagoras that the last side is 5.
It may seem here like I am cherry picking, but the very nature of math is patterns. In fact the very nature of nature is patterns. When an object is in orbit around another, the cube of the period divided by the radius squared is ALWAYS proportional. For how mundane that may seem, that is incredible.
My point is that next time you are sitting in geometry wondering how you are ever going to remember the difference between a 30 60 90 triangle and a 45 45 90, know that whoever you are, your brain is built for this. And if you aren't understanding something, that's not your fault, and maybe all you need is a little reminder of your own natural abilities. My dog may always be stressed when he hears the word vet, but you don't have to be the next time you see the unit circle.

New math app – good or bad?
Ryan vs. Math: using photomath – is it a good idea or bad?

How's it going? I'm Ryan, a high school senior and aspiring mathematician.
I am yet to make any great discoveries, but am interested in EdTech and how we can better teach math.
The first problem I wanted to solve was SAT Math: not the test itself, but the problems students are having with it.
I found that in all the study materials available, there were none to practice each building block individually.
I've published the SAT MATH WORKBOOK and created this blog as a tool for those interested in mastering SAT Math fundamentals.

Kerala to host Hero Super Cup in April
AIFF Media Team
NEW DELHI: The 2022-23 Hero Super Cup, featuring 16 teams in the Group Stage, will take place from April 8-25, 2023, in Kerala. Two of the three cities among Kochi, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram will host the tournament. The qualifying round will kick off on April 3.
All 11 teams from the Hero Indian Super League and the champions of the 2022-23 Hero I-League will get direct entry into the Group Stage of the Hero Super Cup. Teams placed 2nd to 10th in the Hero I-League will compete in the Qualifying Rounds for the four remaining Group Stage spots.
In the qualifiers, Hero I-League teams placed 9th and 10th will face each other in Qualifier 1, with the winner set to meet the 2nd-placed team in Qualifier 2. Along with the aforementioned fixtures, Hero I-League teams placed between 3rd to 8th will face each other in a knockout format for the Qualifiers.
Below are the fixtures of the Hero Super Cup Qualifiers:
April 3: HIL Team 9 vs HIL Team 10
April 5: HIL Team 2 vs HIL Team 9/10
April 5: HIL Team 3 vs HIL Team 8

FC Goa emerged champions in the previous edition in 2019, beating Chennaiyin FC 2-1 in the final at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. The inaugural tournament in 2018 was won by Bengaluru FC, who beat East Bengal 4-1 in the final.
AIFF Secretary General Dr Shaji Prabhakaran said, "It is great that the Super Cup is back after four years. We could not stage the tournament during the pandemic, therefore, its return is very positive news for Indian Football. It will provide more competitive opportunities for players.
"It will be amazing to have the Hero Super Cup in an electric atmosphere in Kerala. I'm sure the Group Stage, followed by a Knockout Rounds, will make for an interesting tournament. My best wishes to all participating teams," he added.
The four Hero I-League teams that emerge from the Qualifiers will join the 11 Hero ISL sides and the Hero I-League champions in the Group Stage of the Hero Super Cup. The 16 teams will be divided into four groups of as many teams each, competing in a single round-robin format. The four group winners will qualify for the Semi-finals.

Review of Waddesdon: Waddesdon in the county of Buckinghamshire is a historic farming area to be found about ten km west of the large town of Aylesbury, it has a church first built in the thirteenth century. Waddesdon is definitely most recognized as being the location of the Rothschild family owned, sixteenth century Renaissance style, Waddesdon Manor (nowadays managed by the National Trust), attracting numerous tourists to the village.
Still peppered with structures established by the Rothschilds (the village hall, the Five Arrows hotel and properties built for manor personnel), the village today has a population of approximately 2,000 (2011 census). The parish (in addition to Wormstone, Westcott, Woodham and Eythrope) covers over seven thousand acres. In the old days reachable from nearby Aylesbury by railway, Waddesdon train station has long been decommissioned & the village may only be gotten to by road (the A41).
Waddesdon Over the Centuries: Clearly a Saxon village just before the Norman conquest, the manor of Waddesdon was controlled by one of Queen Edith's men, Brictric, in those long gone, pretty much undocumented times. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the manor was shown as retained by Miles Crispin and having a value of 27 hides. Afterwards the manor of Waddesdon was to be given to Henry of Oxford and then to the Courtenay family, it switched control again and again until ultimately ending up with John 7th Duke of Marlborough. Art enthusiast, politician & member of a well-off Austrian banking dynasty, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, acquired the entire Buckinghamshire landed estate of the Duke of Marlborough in 1874, including Waddesdon & surrounding areas.
Waddesdon Manor: The Rebirth (Renaissance) style Waddesdon Manor House was later erected by Ferdinand de Rothschild, replicating a sixteenth century French chateau, wine cellars and all. The estate and manor passed down to The Baron's sister, Alice Charlotte de Rothschild, in 1898, when Baron Ferdinand passed away at the Manor itself on his 59th birthday in 1898. The Manor House was meant as a family residence and also to show off Baron Rothschild's vast collection of furniture, tapestries and art. In the late 1950's, James de Rothschild died and Waddesdon Manor became a successful tourist destination after it was handed to the National Trust. Current day Waddesdon Manor boasts substantial landscaped gardens, its phenomenal collection of paintings, furniture and ornamental arts, a garden centre, a Rococo style aviary, a wine cellar, gift shops, conference areas, a wedding venue (The Dairy at Waddesdon), a children's corner, gift shops and top notch restaurants. The Manor in addition plays host to a number of events and activities all through the year for example art displays, carol singing, food markets, wine samplings, and horticultural events.
Across the centuries, Waddesdon endured as a principally farming village and as well as the present day title has been called variously as Votesdone (11th century) and Woddesdon (14th century). Various different industries that have supported local folk in addition to agriculture were silk manufacture and lace making. In about 1190 building began on Waddesdon's parish church of St Michael and All Angels, the current church tower superseded a fourteenth century one in 1892, the font dates from 1400.

The Presbytery of Kiskiminetas has a partnership with the Gitarama region of the Presbyterian Church in Rwanda. Within this partnership all the Gitarama Presbyterian Churches have been partnered with a church in our Presbytery. Our partner is the Twabumbogo church. We are delighted to share in prayer support with brothers and sisters we are just beginning to know. We have learned about the struggles the people of Rwanda have faced since the 1994 genocide. We are blessed to be prayed for by those who have a deep and vibrant faith.
We had the privilege to host Pastor Eugene and Sister Gertrude on their visit on October of 2007. They shared a gift of a basket from Rwanda filled with love. We keep the basket on the communion table to remind us each Sunday of the partners we have in Christ. Terry Semsick, who grew up at Bethel, has shared her experiences in Rwanda as a member of the Presbytery's travel team. She will be leading a team from the Presbytery to Rwanda in September of 2008.
In June of 2008 the Bethel Vacation Bible School designated their offering to buy goats for our partner families. Through SonHarvest County Fair and a theme based on the Fruits of the Spirit the children learned about sharing their faith with those in need.
It is our prayer that the partnership can continue to grow as we move into the years ahead.


The architect of Grand Central Terminal's mid-1990s transformation from a stately landmark into a stately landmark with bustling retail corridors will now open TurnStyle, a collection of 30 storefronts along the long concourse directly beneath Columbus Circle. Food vendors include the sweets-oriented Gelato Ti Amo, Magnolia Bakery, and Vegan Divas; Joe Coffee, Ignazio's Pizza, and what the Times calls "fancy tacos" round out the mix so far. The ceilings may only be eight feet high, but there will be room for tables and chairs, and the MTA is already looking at the West 4th Street and Times Square stations as possible sites to undergo food-hall-ificaton.
No disrespect to the obvious surplus of sweets shops — Dylan's Candy Bar is another TurnStyle tenant — but so far the underground format doesn't seem to be attracting the more chef-oriented concepts that are the bedrock of New York's crop of grand and glorious food halls. Subway-corridor seating doesn't have the same cachet as sidewalk seating, and New Yorkers typically don't go for anyplace that doesn't have windows, but all this may soon change.
Underground rents are low, quoted between $275 to $425, and it's been pointed out that other cultures tend to cherish their commuter-friendly noodle shops and ice-cream kiosks. Sukiyabashi Jiro, of course, has famously flourished in its basement digs, which are attached to the Ginza Station in Tokyo. Above all, the urban frontier is a limited place. After outdoor bazaars, indoor halls, and underground mini-malls, perhaps New York will next get its first floating markets.

As I was in the car with my mom the other night we were talking about up coming shows and who is show able. This thirty minuet long car ride brought up topics of selling, showing and of coarse breeding. We all know there is nothing uglier than those little skin bags that you get after twenty eight to thirty days of waiting but yet we still fall in love. We decided Sydney will be bred soon (within this month) so I have babies to sell at spring shows and young seniors at fair. We also have come up with the idea of having four week old babies at our county far for the public to see the cute furry babies. This isn't and original idea My ARBA youth club leader used to do this and it made the public happy to see them. At the end of the day that's what the whole fair is about, making people happy, meeting more people, teaching the public about the animals we love and live for and to have fun while doing it. With all these new responsibilities i'm ganging as a freshman in high school it makes it harder to spend all my free time with all my bunnies but I still manage to do it. Rabbits are still my life and I have to admit that when I get stressed out nothing beets it than going into the barn and snuggling with a soft and cuddly mini lop. When they snuggle up under your chin all those stresses go away. They know my week spot. So this new year that is already going by so fast I plan to yet again have my rabbitry grow, increase my colors and blood lines and over all have a healthy showing year for both me and all of my wonderful mini lops.

The death of the animated star?
How to survive a fire.
"The burning of Milwaukee's Newhall House hotel was one of the most sensational disasters of the Gilded Age. The fire started in the house elevator shaft, leveling the building - once the tallest in the nation - in just over an hour. The Newhall overnight staff spend nearly ten minutes trying to fight the fire themselves, even after it became clear the house was doomed, made no effort to wake any of the guests asleep within its walls. Seventy-five lives were lost that night, many of the bodies were so badly mutilated that no positive identification was ever made. The gruesome fate of those trapped inside the house - particularly the 35 members of the Newhall's live-in domestic staff who were killed, including a dozen who leapt to their deaths rather than be burned alive - made the story a sensation. An investigation into the blaze determined it to be the work of an arsonist. But while the nation was gripped by the search for the arsonist, they largely ignored the string of failures that had laid the house so vulnerable in the first place. The burning of the Newhall could have proven a major turning point in American urban history. It could have stimulated substantial discussion about the needed modernization of fire departments and building codes, and the public's role in their own survival in the event of a disaster. But the era's media was more interested in selling sensation and outrage than promoting reform, and local officials were content to try a single man for setting the fire while allowing the systemic flaws of the time and place to remain intact. While the origins of the Newhall fire remain a mystery to this day, the story of the blaze paints a grim portrait of an era when progress was scripture, life was cheap, and time spent reflecting was time wasted"-- Provided by publisher.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, millions of voters, concerned about the economic impact of illegal immigration, rallied behind the notion of a wall between the United States and Mexico. Not quite two years into the Trump presidency, immigration endures as a hotly contested topic in United States politics. In Dreams Derailed sociologist William A. Schwab shares the stories of immigration reform advocates and follows up on stories told in his 2013 book Right to DREAM, which argued in favor of the DREAM Act that would have provided conditional residency for undocumented youth brought to the United States as children, a version of which was later enacted by executive order and referred to as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Taking as its focal point the Trump administration's decision to rescind the Obama-era DACA protection for the children of undocumented immigrants, Dreams Derailed delves into the economic, political, and social factors that inform the public conversation about immigration, making a clear case for the many benefits of inclusive policies. It also takes a close look at the factors that carried Donald Trump to the White House, demonstrating how economic upheaval and historic levels of immigration influenced the 2016 presidential election, analyzing current immigration laws, and suggesting next steps for reform. Dreams Derailed utilizes individual narratives from the diverse economic landscape of Northwest Arkansas to address common misconceptions about immigrants and immigration. In telling the stories of reform advocates and following up on stories outlined in his previous volume, Schwab highlights the humanistic and economic factors that comprise part of the debate about immigration, creating a potent yet balanced argument for the protection of undocumented youths.

Launching his curatorial career at the George Eastman House in 1957, Nathan Lyons (1930-2016) soon made a mark in the museum world and in his workshops for photographers and curators alike. Yet his supporting role in the careers of rising stars such as Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand sometimes eclipsed the public's awareness of Lyons's own pioneering photography. Coinciding with a major exhibition at the George Eastman Museum in 2019, Nathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic is a long-overdue celebration of Lyons's astonishing body of work. Featuring more than two hundred and fifty compelling images, accompanied by critical essays, the book charts the distinct phases of Lyons's career. His early work, exemplified by his exuberant initiatives of the 1960s-the Visual Studies Workshop and the Society for Photographic Education-demonstrated that street photography and formalism are not mutually exclusive, as university photography courses began migrating from journalism to art departments. His final years, which included a shift to color at age eighty, are also explored in depth. A companion to Nathan Lyons: Selected Essays, Lectures, and Interviews, this is the definitive visual sourcebook on a highly influential innovator.

Appendix 2. Translation of the Nahuatl Text in Codex Aubin Notes Bibliography Index.
During the period of Aztec expansion and empire (ca. 1325-1525), scribes of high social standing used a pictographic writing system to paint hundreds of manuscripts detailing myriad aspects of life, including historical, calendric, and religious information. Following the Spanish conquest, native and mestizo tlacuiloque (artist-scribes) of the sixteenth century continued to use pre-Hispanic pictorial writing systems to record information about native culture. Three of these manuscripts-Codex Boturini, Codex Azcatitlan, and Codex Aubin-document the origin and migration of the Mexica people, one of several indigenous groups often collectively referred to as "Aztec." In Portraying the Aztec Past, Angela Herren Rajagopalan offers a thorough study of these closely linked manuscripts, articulating their narrative and formal connections and examining differences in format, style, and communicative strategies. Through analyses that focus on the materials, stylistic traits, facture, and narrative qualities of the codices, she places these annals in their historical and social contexts. Her work adds to our understanding of the production and function of these manuscripts and explores how Mexica identity is presented and framed after the conquest.
The history of the United States is often told as a movement westward, beginning at the Atlantic coast and following farmers across the continent. But cities played an equally important role in the country's formation. Towns sprung up along the Pacific as well as the Atlantic, as Spaniards and Englishmen took Indian land and converted it into private property. In this reworking of early American history, Mary P. Ryan shows how cities-specifically San Francisco and Baltimore-were essential parties to the creation of the republics of the United States and Mexico. Baltimore and San Francisco share common roots as early trading centers whose coastal locations immersed them in an international circulation of goods and ideas. Ryan traces their beginnings back to the first human habitation of each area, showing how the juggernaut toward capitalism and nation-building could not commence until Europeans had taken the land for city building. She then recounts how Mexican ayuntamientos and Anglo American city councils pioneered a prescient form of municipal sovereignty that served as both a crucible for democracy and a handmaid of capitalism. Moving into the nineteenth century, Ryan shows how the citizens of Baltimore and San Francisco molded landscape forms associated with the modern city: the gridded downtown, rudimentary streetcar suburbs, and outlying great parks. This history culminates in the era of the Civil War when the economic engines of cities helped forge the East and the West into one nation.

The realm of ranching history has long been dominated by men, from tales-tall or true-of cowboys and cattlemen, to a century's worth of male writers and historians who have been the primary chroniclers of Texas history. As women's history has increasingly gained a foothold not only as a field worthy of study but as a bold and innovative way of understanding the past, new generations of scholars are rethinking the once-familiar settings of the past. In doing so, they reveal that women not only exercised agency in otherwise constrained environments but were also integral to the ranching heritage that so many Texans hold dear. Texas Women and Ranching: On the Range, at the Rodeo, and in Their Communities explores a variety of roles women played on the western ranch. The essays here cover a range of topics, from early Tejana businesswomen and Anglo philanthropists to rodeos and fence-cutting range wars. The names of some of the women featured may be familiar to those who know Texas ranching history-Alice East and Frances Kallison, for example. Others came from less well-known or wealthy families. In every case, they proved themselves to be resourceful women and unique individuals who survived by their own wits in cattle country. This book is a major contribution to several fields-Texas history, western history, and women's history-that are, at last, beginning to converge.

Long before the founding of the Jamestown, Virginia, colony and its Starving Time of 1609-1610-one of the most famous cannibalism narratives in North American colonial history-cannibalism, and accusations of cannibalism, played an important role in the history of food, hunger, and moral outrage. Why did colonial invaders go out of their way to accuse women of cannibalism? What challenges did Spaniards face in trying to explain Eucharist rites to Native peoples? What roles did preconceived notions about non-Europeans play in inflating accounts of cannibalism in Christopher Columbus's reports as they moved through Italian merchant circles? Asking questions such as these and exploring what it meant to accuse someone of eating people as well as how cannibalism rumors facilitated slavery and the rise of empires, To Feast on Us as Their Prey posits that it is impossible to separate histories of cannibalism from the role food and hunger have played in the colonization efforts that shaped our modern world.

Chapter 5. Between Crowd and Group: Fantasy, Revolutionary Nation, and the Politics of the Not-All Notes Bibliography Index.
Recently, many critics have questioned the idea of universal citizenship by pointing to the racial, class, and gendered exclusions on which the notion of universality rests. Rather than jettison the idea of universal citizenship, however, R. Andres Guzman builds on these critiques to reaffirm it especially within the fields of Latina/o and ethnic studies. Beyond conceptualizing citizenship as an outcome of recognition and admittance by the nation-state-in a negotiation for the right to have rights-he asserts that, insofar as universal citizenship entails a forceful entrance into the political from the latter's foundational exclusions, it emerges at the limits of legality and illegality via a process that exceeds identitarian capture. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and philosopher Alain Badiou's notion of "generic politics, " Guzman advances his argument through close analyses of various literary, cultural, and legal texts that foreground contention over the limits of political belonging. These include the French Revolution, responses to Arizona's H.B. 2281, the 2006 immigrant rights protests in the United States, the writings of Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, Frantz Fanon's account of Algeria's anticolonial struggle, and more. In each case, Guzman traces the advent of the "citizen" as a collective subject made up of anyone who seeks to radically transform the organizational coordinates of the place in which she or he lives.
The men who recur as characters throughout Jess Williard's Unmanly Grief perform their masculinity in a variety of ways: boxing, theater, brotherhood, labor, and familial and romantic love. Marked by a sharp nostalgia, Williard's poems move from Wisconsin to New York City and back, tracing the geographic movement of the speaker and his family: a teenage sister who disappears and returns, changed irrevocably; an older brother dismantled in adulthood; an ever-sacrificing father. Woven through the musculature of this varied and exciting collection, music appears as readily in dexterous formal verse as in lean, scrappy storytelling. What results is a crooning celebration of struggle and tenderness in this world, "where to be small and furious is enough.".

7. New Forms of Settlement in Roman Imperial Sicily Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index.
Sicily has been the fulcrum of the Mediterranean throughout history. The island's central geographical position and its status as ancient Rome's first overseas province make it key to understanding the development of the Roman Empire. Yet Sicily's crucial role in the empire has been largely overlooked by scholars of classical antiquity, apart from a small number of specialists in its archaeology and material culture. Urbanism and Empire in Roman Sicily offers the first comprehensive English-language overview of the history and archaeology of Roman Sicily since R. J. A. Wilson's Sicily under the Roman Empire (1990). Laura Pfuntner traces the development of cities and settlement networks in Sicily in order to understand the island's political, economic, social, and cultural role in Rome's evolving Mediterranean hegemony. She identifies and examines three main processes traceable in the archaeological record of settlement in Roman Sicily: urban disintegration, urban adaptation, and the development of alternatives to urban settlement. By expanding the scope of research on Roman Sicily beyond the bounds of the island itself, through comparative analysis of the settlement landscapes of Greece and southern Italy, and by utilizing exciting evidence from recent excavations and surveys, Pfuntner establishes a new empirical foundation for research on Roman Sicily and demonstrates the necessity of including Sicily in broader historical and archaeological studies of the Roman Empire.

Ali Chaaban – Looking For More.
by Sara Shunk | Apr 2, 2018 | Uncategorized
"I was able to get hands-on experience with equipment I had never seen before, it was an awesome experience", says Ali Chaaban, a graduate of Northwestern Tech.
Before coming to Northwestern Tech Ali worked as a baker in Dearborn. The long, inflexible hours led him to wanting a change and he found himself considering a career in heating and cooling.
"I was looking for more money, a flexible life, and something that was recession proof, and I found it," says Ali.
Ali enrolled in 2016 and says his time at the school was exciting, not only because of the hands-on training, but also because the teachers were so knowledgeable and helpful.
Ali graduated top of his class in March of 2017 and has been busy working ever since. He is very motivated to excel in this field; he is busy on the job and has started his own company – 24 Hour Heating, Cooling, & Refrigeration, Inc. He has bought a van and his tools, and is currently working on obtaining his mechanical license. Way to go Ali!
