COTABATO CITY (SDN) — Spreading the "dividends of peace" in the Bangsamoro region continues to the New Year 2023.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)-led autonomous government under Chief Minister Al-Hajj Murad Ebrahim has been implementing various building projects through at least the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG).
Now running on its fourth year, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) was created in 2019 by virtue Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). The organic law was implementing the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) signed by the Philippine Government (GPH) and the MILF.

GPH and MILF arrived at the CAB after a over 17 years of protracted peace talks characterized by breakdowns of ceasefire and major and minor shooting war. Then President Benigno S. Aquino III and Ebrahim made it all — the CAB.
Now, the MILF, founded in 1977 by then Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) vice chairman Al-Azhar University alumnus Ustadhz Salamat Hashim is governing the autonomous region after agreeing to scale down its struggle for independence to "meaningful and stronger autonomy" than the defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Now, still, under the leadership of Ministery Naguib G. Sinarimbo, the MILG has been tasked by the Office of the Chief Minister (OCM) to implement building projects, such as Municipal Halls, Public Terminals, Tourism Centers, Philippine National Police (PNP) Stations, Public Markets, Barangay Halls, Seawater Desalination Facilities, and Water Systems. Many have already been completed, many still being built, and many in planning stage.
As the first few days of the new year rolled, Sinarimbo's MILG has completed another Barangay Hall in the Special Geographic Area (SGA). The SGA, which falls under the Bangsamoro jurisdiction through plebiscite in 2019, is located geographically in North Cotabato province though not part of BARMM.
"Another Barangay Hall has been completed in Barangay Kadingilan, Pigkawayan Cluster of the Special Geographic Area. For this month, we are set to turn over more than 10 units of completed Barangay Halls across the region," points out Sinarimbo.
The MILG chief added that many Water System projects of the ministry currently being built in Barangay Balacayun, also in Pigkawayan Cluster.
"We thank the Chief Minister Al-Hajj Murad Ebrahim for his continuing support to these initiatives of the ministry aimed at both improving governance at the level closest to our people, which is the Barangay, and of improving access by our constituents to basic needs such as water," emphasizes Sinarimbo.
Residents of the various BARMM communities can take much comfort the Bangsamoro government under Ebrahim will continue to deliver on its avowed mandate and services to them.
Comprising the Bangsamoro region is made up of the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, the cities of Cotabato, Lamitan, and Marawi, as well as the 63 SGA villages that voted "yes" in a plebiscite in January and February 2019 to be under the BARMM jurisdiction.
The BARMM population per the Philippine Atlas has 4,404,288 people. It has 116 municipalities: Basilan, 11 municipalities; Lanao del Sur, 39; Maguindanao, 36; Sulu, 19; and Tawi-Tawi, 11. Its component cities are Cotabato (the regional center and capital) in Maguindanao; Lamitan in Basilan; and Marawi in Lanao del Sur. (✓)

The good news is that the economy is improving. The bad news for business leaders is that finding good talent is getting harder, particularly for positions focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The pool of active candidates is shrinking. What does this mean?
This is a critical time to shore up your talent acquisition practices, specifically your sourcing/recruiting system as well as your screening process. This article discusses how the connection with talent is once again shown to be the #1 influencer of time-to-fill. A strong process is also essential for identifying the candidate who is the best fit, and for creating a positive experience for candidates.
Don't wait until the talent competition is even more intense to improve your hiring practices. Stay ahead of your competition. Be proactive and make improvements now with these five activities.
Establish your talent pipeline – Invest time building connections with people who are the kind of people you want to hire. Use your Applicant Tracking System or other means to catalog who top talent prospects are and stay connected with them. Make sure that potential candidates who are intrigued by your company have the means to express general interest (even if there's not a job for them to apply for) and to be notified of openings.
Build your employer brand – What's great about working at your company? Why is the same position better at your company than at your competitor? Figure out specific, authentic answers to these questions and others that define who you are as an employer and why someone would want to work for you. Get this information out there on your Career page, your company profile on LinkedIn, your Twitter feed, etc. Use a mix of writing and video to tell the story.
Streamline your screening process – Great candidates get scooped up quickly and may lose interest in your company through drawn-out application processes. Review your entire process and look for ways to make it more efficient. Does HR need to have more control? Is your application process onerous? This saves you money as well as optimizes your ability to secure the best talent.
Train your hiring managers – Make sure they have the skills to effectively identify if a candidate fits. Also, give them experience doing hiring in any kind of revised system that you establish (see #3 above). If you modify your screening process, your people need time to work within the new system. Give them that experience now before the stakes are even higher because talent shortages are intensified.
Examine the candidate experience – The points above touch on this, but it merits highlighting. Top talent can afford to be picky. If your company has a cumbersome process for candidates, if the people they meet at your company don't convey confidence and competence for hiring, if they go long periods of time without hearing from you during the screening process, all of this can lead to a great candidate being turned off at some level and potentially dropping out. Additionally, the entire application and screening process is a way for you to make a certain impression on candidates, even ones who aren't finalists. What kind of impression does your process make? Can you afford to make a bad impression?
Start this work now. Talk to outside resources like Synergy Consulting Services to see what value and efficiencies they can bring to your efforts to strenthen your talent acquisition system. If necessary, set aside dollars in your next budget. Time and dollars spent now will pay off many times over because you will be able to fill positions sooner and with the best fitting talent who is fired up about joining your company.

The buyer is now leasing the home for $5,500 a month.
The final piece of Johnny Depp's five-unit apartment spread in Downtown Los Angeles has found a buyer.
The colorful one-bedroom has just sold for $1.425 million, said listing agent Kevin Dees. It's the final of five units atop the Eastern Columbia Building that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor loosely combined into a multi-floor penthouse and put on the market for a combined $12.78 million.
Mr. Dees andNick Segal handled the listings for Partners Trust.
It took about a year for the actor to sell off the five units—comprised of four two-bedrooms and the single one-bedroom that sold this week. In the end, he banked a total of nearly $10.9million,Mr. Dees said.
He began buying up units a decade ago from the developers who redid the interiors of the 1930s Art Deco building, recognizable from its trademark four-sided clock tower—spending about $7.2 million between 2007 and 2008, property records show.
That's a pretty good return for the serial real estate investor, who also owns a massive French estate that he's selling for $39 million and a Kentucky horse farm that he tried to auction off in September (but reportedly didn't sell in the end).
But a deep-pocketed fan of Mr. Depp can still live like the star in his former pad, as the buyer in this latest sale has already put the home up for rent for $5,500 a month. Mr. Dees, who moved to The Agency as director of the estates division, is now marketing the rental unit.
This unit is a brightly decorated, two-story apartment spanning 1,780 square feet. Mr. Depp commissioned a surreal floor-to-ceiling mural by Brazilian street artists Osgemeos in the main living space, which served as an open living room, dining room and kitchen.
A large landing overlooking the mural and great room serves as another sitting room, before the steel-framed staircase leads to the bedroom on the second floor, according to the listing.
Mr. Depp, 54, had loosely combined the five homes, using each apartment like "rooms in a home," Mr. Dees said.
Rather than fully integrating them all into a single penthouse, he connected three units as his entertaining and living space, while keeping the two remaining units separate as an art studio and a guest suite.
The building has a shared terrace, saltwater pool and spa, sundeck and fitness studio.
The last apartment to sellclosed in August for $2.75 million.Before that,sales included Mr. Depp'stwo-bedroom, three-bathroomunit for $2.5 million, and a2,400-square-footunit forfor $3.9 million, Mansion Global previously reported.
Two of the fivesales set records for price per square footin the historic district where Eastern Columbia is located, Mr. Dees said.
A publicist for Mr. Depp did not immediately return request for comment.

Queen's Hall, St. Ann's, Trinidad.
To be from "Town" essentially means you live in or around Port of Spain. Since the city itself is congested, commercial and undergoing a spell of construction and renovation, being from Town mostly means you live somewhere just outside the city.
Mostly though, Port of Spain is a story. People, or rather some people, who live in Town joke that anything not in and around Port of Spain is "past the Lighthouse" and "country". Of course it's a joke: the oil industry lies in the south and the sugar belt is in central Trinidad. Still, much of the island's history can be heard on a walk through the capital and its neighbourhoods.
Port of Spain replaced St. Joseph as the capital in 1757. The city was built around a harbour protected by the western hills of the Northern Range. Its residential communities and suburbs fan out to the valleys and hills around.
On the eastern flanks of the city, Laventille birthed the steel pan; Belmont pushed some of the earliest and finest Carnival costumes and bands towards the Savannah and the city streets. Both Belmont and Laventille were established by formerly enslaved Africans after emancipation in 1838. They have guarded and nurtured the African strand of Trinidadian culture, particularly the Carnival traditions.
Laventille, rising from the most densely populated area of the city and sprawling up the hills beyond, the crowded "Hill" is crowned by the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, is the cradle of the steelpan and home to one of the best-known steel orchestras, the Desperadoes. Just below the shrine is Fort Picton, a Martello tower dating back to 1800, named after Trinidad's first British governor, Thomas Picton. Views to west and south are spectacular. At Fort Chacon (named after the island's last Spanish governor) in 1792, Don Cosmo Damien Charruca fixed the first accurate line of longitude in the New World.
On the western side of the city, Woodbrook and St. James teem with restaurants, bars and music.
Woodbrook lies south of Tragarete Road and extends from Lapeyrouse Cemetery (1911) to Woodbrook Cemetery on Mucurapo Road. Iit is traditionally middle-class and regarded as the breeding ground for the Carnival and creole arts. Ariapita Avenue, which runs the length of Woodbrook, east to west, is being rapidly reoriented to small businesses and services, cafés and restaurants (offering a wide range of cuisine from cordon bleu to fast food); it is now the city's biggest restaurant district.
Many of the top Carnival bands have their mas camps there. Music throbs from calypso nights at De Nu Pub, formerly known as Mas Camp Pub, and (seasonally) the panyards of the Woodbrook bands. The Little Carib Theatre on White Street, founded by the legendary dancer Beryl McBernie, pioneered a cultural renaissance in the 1940s and 50s promoting indigenous over imported art, and still hosts some of the country's best theatre and dance.
St. James is a mini-city with a big reputation. Bordered by Cocorite, Maraval and Woodbrook, the insomniac Western Main Road, which runs through its centre, is a busy commercial and shopping artery, lined with casual bars and food stalls that stay open until the wee hours of the morning, if not all night. After hours, this is a favourite district for hanging out ("liming").
Street food vendors offer jerk chicken, grilled sandwiches, roti and other fast foods. Streets are named for Indian states and cities, as the indentured Indian cane workers from nearby plantations in Ellersie and Diego Martin made new homes and careers when sugar was dethroned.
As in many other parts of Trinidad, St. James has Hindu temples, Muslim mosques and Christian churches side by side. With its strong Indian presence, St. James is the main venue for Trinidad's Hosay (Hosein, the Shia Muslim festival), when elaborately decorated tadjahs (tombs) are paraded over four days and nights. In June, the "WeBeat" cultural festival is staged at the open-air amphitheatre. In fact, vertually every major ethnic, religious and secular holiday is paraded here. If Port of Spain is the nation's story, St. James is the summary.
To the south-west of the Savannah is Newtown. Here, Maraval Road runs into a well-ordered district featuring modest homes, services, small businesses, restaurants and a popular pet shop, within the few blocks bounded by Cipriani Boulevard and Maraval Road. The US Embassy and Information Services are on Marli Street.
North of the city, St. Clair, Maraval, St. Ann's and Cascade are middle and upper class residential districts. Wide tree-lined avenues feature large, gracious homes with spacious gardens in St. Clair.
St. Clair and Woodbrook boast colonial mansions and lovely old "gingerbread" houses, with their froth of fancy fretwork. Canadian, British and French embassies, intimate restaurants and cafes, major international conglomerates, the national television and broadcasting network and one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the Caribbean are found in this suburb. St. Clair extends west into Federation Park, a residential development from the sixties in tribute to West Indian fellowship.
Queen's Hall (1959) — a main venue for theatre, music and dance performances — stands at the entrance to St. Ann's and Cascade, next to the brand new diplomatic centre and residence of the prime minister. Two valleys, each with its own river, run north-east from the Savannah. Proximity to the city makes these suburbs sought-after residential real estate areas, with new condominium, townhouse, apartment and other gated community complexes being constructed. The Horticultural Society on Chancellor Road operates a flower market, Tuesday–Saturday mornings.
North from the Savannah, Maraval is a valley settled first by French families. From elegant St. Clair through busy Boissiere, the valley rises to the steep and heady kitchen-garden community of Paramin, where mountain springs feed the source of the Maraval river. Boissiere features attractive shopping plazas, restaurants, bakeries, and several popular guest houses and hotels. Interesting Roman Catholic churches include Assumption on Long Circular Road; Our Lady of Lourdes in upper Maraval; and the new Our Lady of Guadelupe in Paramin. The Saddle Road through Maraval connects with the North Coast Road to beaches and villages on Trinidad's north.

What Happens When An Aid Group Sees Abuse, But Is Sworn To Secrecy?
Asanka Brendon Ratnayake/Anadolu Agency
Australian protesters demonstrate in Melbourne on Feb. 4 after the Australian High Court upheld a challenge to the government's right to hold asylum seekers at detention camps in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
When Save the Children Australia signed up to help migrants that Australia was detaining on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, workers for the aid group had to sign confidentiality agreements.
Australia's government required the agreements. While unusually strict, they reflect a bargain many aid agencies must make in troubled areas of the world: to gain access to vulnerable people, they must remain diplomatically silent about what they see, avoiding embarrassment to the governments.
The agreement imposed by Australia served as an example of what may happen behind that veil of secrecy. Children placed with their families in a camp on the isolated island of Nauru suffered sexual and other abuse. The scale of the problem was not publicly exposed until a former aid worker violated that confidentiality and acted on her own.
That former worker, Viktoria Vibhakar, told NPR on Wednesday that as a result, abuse, including the abuse of children, was largely ignored.
"I chose to make a report, an anonymous submission detailing the abuse and systemic violations of human rights to children and families on Nauru and I attached several thousand pages of documentation as well and I sent it to the [Australian Human Rights] Commission," Vibhakar told NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep.
Australia's immigration minister, Peter Dutton, has played down allegations of abuse and has stressed Australia will not change its policy of blocking migrants from coming to Australia. He says smugglers would bring large numbers to Australia by boat if the country changed its policy.
Australia did agree to shut down a detention camp in Papua New Guinea last week, but the one in Nauru remains open. There were 543 asylum seekers at the Nauru camp, including 70 children, as of last November, according to the Australian Human Rights Commission.
Mat Tinkler, the director of policy and public affairs at Save the Children, spoke to Inskeep via Skype about the confidentiality agreement and how the group responded when it became aware of abuse.
Why did Save the Children agree to the confidentiality agreement?
Because it was a condition of supporting children in that terrible environment. So that is correct. We were required to sign confidentiality agreements. I've signed one myself. What that means is when we saw rights violations or the impact of detention that was grave enough to warrant us speaking out publicly we would do that. But it was important that we did that in a careful and controlled manner. It wasn't appropriate that we had all of our 300 staff members speaking to the media about any incident they may have observed. That would not have allowed us to continue working in that environment; our contract would have been terminated.
I'm trying to get a sense of why Australia felt it necessary to demand such strict confidentiality.
My view on this is that the Australian government has deliberately cloaked this area in secrecy because if the Australian public had a full view of the impacts of its policy, they would not support it. There's no independent human rights monitor or child rights advocate working in the detention environment working in places like Nauru. And there should be.
So what happened behind that cloak of secrecy on the island of Nauru?
So one of the things I'm very proud of is that Save the Children was the agency in that environment who was essentially the conscience of the island. So when children didn't have appropriate footwear, we were the ones advocating to get them decent shoes. When children were being educated in a tent, we were the ones advocating to get them out of those tents and into an air-conditioned facility so that they could actually learn. And publicly we were the ones advocating to end this process, because the impacts and the harm being done to children and their families were extreme and should not be tolerated in a country like Australia.
But when the Australian Human Rights Commission came around asking, not about kids shoes but about child sexual abuse and criminal violations, we're told that Save the Children told them nothing.
Well that's not correct. I gave evidence in person to that Human Rights Commission inquiry, and we also provided a written submission to the inquiry. The commission very much understood that we had to play a very careful balancing act here between providing evidence to the inquiry and maintaining our position in Nauru. And I can tell you that the commissioner herself told me that it was in everyone's interest that Save the Children remain in Nauru, and therefore she understood that our evidence needed to be finely calibrated.
Importantly, however — and this is a really key point — the fact that we didn't say publicly to that commission [that] we observed incidents of child abuse does not mean that we weren't reporting consistently any type of issue that we observed like that through the government.
This was standard practice — it happened all the time, I've got to say, and far too often on Nauru — when our staff observed that kind of incident, we would alert the government, we would alert all the service providers, we would alert the police on Nauru, we would make sure that incidents were investigated to the best of our ability. But ultimately it was a matter for the government then, what they did with that information. It wasn't a matter for us to determine.
You used the word "calibrated." You calibrated your testimony to the commission. Do you have some sympathy then for former Save the Children employees who felt that the organization didn't reveal enough and ended up giving their own documents to the inquiry?
Yes, I have some sympathy for them; those people worked the coalface of human suffering on Nauru, and I can understand why this is a highly emotive and personal issue for them and they want to see justice for those people and I'm not going to criticize that at all. But what I will say is most staff would have been or would have had that opportunity to observe and work and support those children and speak to the media now as some of them are doing, had we not stayed on Nauru. And I can tell you that the night I gave evidence to that Human Rights Commission inquiry, we had a phone call from the government threatening to terminate our contract because I gave that evidence.
Did you feel that you were in a morally treacherous place?
When I went to Nauru I came back feeling like I'd witnessed a stain on history. And I felt like I'd witnessed something that would be judged very harshly over time and how we responded to it was to, to walk this fine line as best we could around providing support for those children and helping them and their families.
[Save the Children sent us a transcript of Tinkler's testimony from 2014. He discussed limited access to books or to exercise, and a mood of despondency. The testimony did not discuss allegations of abuse. More recently, Save the Children lost its contract to work on Nauru.]
Corrected: August 25, 2016 at 10:00 PM MDT
An earlier version of the online story referred to multiple aid workers violating a confidentiality agreement to report abuse. It was only one aid worker, Viktoria Vibhakar.

Scientists One Step Closer to Curing AIDS?
Housecall for Health
Scientists may be one giant step closer to a cure in the fight to end AIDS.
FOX's Alex Hein explains in this "Housecall for Health":
This is Housecall for Health.
In a major reveal at an AIDS conference in Paris, researchers said a South African girl who was born with the AIDS virus has kept her infection suppressed for more than eight years after stopping anti-HIV medicines.
They say the results are evidence that early treatment is capable of causing long-term remission.
Currently, HIV treatments that aim to keep the virus under control must be taken over of a lifetime, and only one person has ever been thought to be cured. But his treatment involved a bone marrow transplant from a donor with a natural resistance to HIV, which is risky and impractical due to the large number of patients already infected.
What's hopeful about the girl's case, is that she is the third child to enter long remission after beginning aggressive treatment soon after infection. She started when she was two and stopped 40 weeks later. Tests found the virus was not capable of reproducing in her immune system cells.

Vancouver, Worst Traffic Congestion In North America: TomTom
The Huffington Post B.C.
11/06/2013 05:55am EST
Vancouver has the worst traffic congestion in North America. Worse than Toronto, worse than New York, worse even than Los Angeles.
That's according to the TomTom Traffic Index, which ranked the west coast city worse than all of North America's major cities in the second quarter of 2013, in a comparison of non-congested travel times against peak hours.
The study said that an average drive in Vancouver takes 36 per cent longer than when traffic is flowing freely, a 2.8 per cent jump over the same period last year.
Check out the worst cities for traffic congestion in North America. The story continues after the slideshow:
The Worst Traffic Congestion In North America
Commuters face 93 hours of delays per year in a 30-minute commute, which adds up to 11.6 working days, while the delay per hour is 41 minutes, according to a Wednesday news release.
The evening peak time commute takes 76 per cent longer than normal traffic conditions, while the morning peak takes 61 per cent longer.
Meanwhile, an average drive through Los Angeles takes 35 per cent longer than when traffic is flowing at a normal pace, putting it second to Vancouver. Toronto (27 per cent) came seventh on the worst congestion list while Montreal (25 per cent) came tenth.
Vancouver's traffic congestion came third when taking South American cities into account, behind Rio de Janeiro (50 per cent) and Sao Paulo (39 per cent).
TomTom arrives at its rankings by analyzing data from millions of GPS users around the world.

Collection notices should start once a debt becomes past due.
Accounts receivable payments are a major contributor to liquidity, cash flow and the working capital requirements of a business. On-time payments keep the business cycle flowing and make it possible for a business to meet operational and short-term debt obligations. Strict collection policies and procedures that encourage customers to pay can result in fewer bad debts, better cash flows and an increase in business profitability.
Accounting standards consider accounts receivable a business asset and require they be recorded in the asset section of a balance sheet. Write-offs not only decrease business assets but also increase bad debt expenses. The objective of creating collection policies and procedures is to encourage customers to pay on time and collect past due accounts within the 30 to 90 day time frame the business typically sets before considering past due accounts not collectible, writing them off and turning them over to a collections agency.
Collection policy goals can take a liberal or conservative approach to collections, allowing that to define their collections procedures. A business that takes a more liberal approach will be more flexible and willing to work with a delinquent account while a more conservative approach will require strict adherence to credit guidelines. Credit policies that reflect a more conservative approach may set goals that strive to maintain an average effectiveness rate – commonly called a collectible effectiveness index or CEI – of 80 percent, keep the average days outstanding or DSO at or below 40 days and maintain a minimum of 80 percent of accounts receivable in a current status, 15 percent at 30 days out, 4 percent at 60 days out and 1 percent at 90 days.
Collections procedures can not only outline steps to collecting on delinquent accounts but also include steps to preventing accounts from becoming delinquent. Providing new credit customers with terms of sale and payment information and including this information on credit receipts and statements can serve to remind customers of their credit obligation. In-house collections procedures should include a schedule for contacting customer with past due accounts. A business can, for example, send a past-due notice and start making weekly collection calls when a payment becomes seven days late. If payment is not received, calls can become more frequent. If the customer is still past due at the end of 30 to 90 days, the business can then refer the account to a third-party collection agency or consider taking legal action.

A massive new distribution center on Chicago's Southeast Side will deliver more than 1,300 permanent jobs, according to city estimates, and serve as a transportation and logistics hub for the entire region.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced plans Sunday for the $169 million project slated for a 196-acre site at 116th Street and Avenue O, just south of the former Republic Steel mill site, where Kansas City-based NorthPoint Development intends to construct six buildings totaling 2.2 million square feet. The facility will complement NorthPoint's adjacent, 155-acre supplier complex that serves Ford's nearby assembly plant. Together, the two NorthPoint developments will become the largest industrial park in Chicago, according to the city.
The project is slated to receive $25.3 million in tax subsidies to be spent on roads and "related site improvement costs," said David Reifman, commissioner of the city's Planning and Development Department. The funding will require approval from the City Council's Community Development Commission and the Chicago Plan Commission.
"It's certainly been a long time coming," Reifman said at a press conference Sunday, adding that the project would deliver "head-of-household jobs" for hundreds of residents.
In addition to the 1,300 permanent jobs, the city expects the project to create 650 construction jobs.
Despite the promise of new jobs, some area activists took issue with the way the project was introduced.
Southeast Side residents have for decades raised concerns about their exposure to pollutants from former and existing facilities in the city's most industrialized corridor.
Salazar's group has spent years creating a Green Economic Industrial Corridor plan, a redevelopment guide for the Calumet River area that aims to protect communities, conserve natural habitats and facilitate sustainable economic development.
Although the city identified the Calumet River as one of 26 industrial corridors under a new Industrial Corridor Modernization Initiative announced in 2016, the city has thus far focused on redevelopment projects in Pullman and along the North Branch of the Chicago River.
Salazar said SETF recently provided 10th Ward Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza with a copy of its redevelopment guide for the area.
Garza, who attended Sunday's press conference, said the project demonstrates the progress being made to strengthen her ward. She offered a more ambitious projection for jobs than the city, stating that the development would have the potential to create 3,000 jobs.

Vijaya Swati murder: Court refuses to grant concession to the accused
The Rawalpindi court adjourned the hearing on the appeals of the accused convicted in the kidnapping and murder of Pakistani-American citizen Wajiha Swati, while remarking that the court will fully follow the law instead of giving concessions to the accused in such cases.
The case was heard in Rawalpindi court by Justice Chaudhry Abdul Aziz and Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan.
During the hearing, advocate Shabnam Majeed appeared in the court on behalf of the victim, while advocate Talat Zaidi appeared on behalf of the accused.
On this occasion, a 3-member FBI team was also present in the court room.
The court declared that instead of giving concessions to the accused in such cases, the court will follow the law fully.
The court asked the lawyer of the victim that why did you not file an appeal to increase the sentences of the accused?
Along with this, the court adjourned the hearing on the appeals till next week.
It should be noted that the court has sentenced Wajiha Swati's husband, Rizwan Habib, to death, while the victim's father-in-law, Haritullah, and the driver, Sultan, have been sentenced to 7 and 7 years in prison.

True Pictures? Contemporary Photography from…
True Pictures? Contemporary Photography from Canada and the USA
Mönchsberg
Curators: Kerstin Stremmel, Andrea Lehner-Hagwood
North American photography of the 1950s and 1960s was for many years considered exemplary, as were North American visual arts of this period more generally. But when artistic photography in Europe began to strike out on its own paths in the 1980s, many younger artists no longer felt a compelling need to orient themselves toward American photography.
The large-scale exhibition True Pictures? responds to this state of affairs by presenting a more open view of contemporary photography in North America. In line with the artistic emancipation of photography in Europe, this exhibition identifies the late 1970s as a starting point for a fundamental shift in the understanding of photography in North America. The pictorial form of the large-format tableau was "invented," used for the first time by Jeff Wall with his lightboxes. This exhibition focuses on the work of artists born between 1946 and 1989 and on the diverse, far-reaching consequences of this new understanding of photography.
Snoeck-Verlag of Cologne brought out a publication in German and English to accompany this exhibition, it can be purchased here.

During your academic job you are going to soon likely probably be requested to compose a plethora of distinct newspapers on changing themes. The only thing you may make sure about is you won't be the very first man currently talking concerning the niche you've been delegated. From the educational area, it's okay, in fact occasionally welcomed, to use these thoughts, rates, notions, exploration and decisions of a different thing. Solutions while employing the employment of the following may give credence to your debate, or help with demonstrating your claim. Whenever you achieve this, but there are expectations rather than provide awareness into this coming creator. It's ways to permit the reader of work are aware the initial throughout, or notion, failed to result in you personally.
You can find plenty of ways you may mention a coming author at all. After the professor assigns a newspaper for your requirements personally, they may either define the arrangement, or normally, schools are going to have normal coverage in set in regards to the excepted manners for mentioning references. For many it's going to be at a APA, or even Harvard format. It's a style of partitioning the data to your own reader that they know exactly where the advice is derived out of, however that they really are able to return in order to think it is if you need to.
Which are 5 factual statements of plagiarism that aren't known?
Most initiatives are created to capture people that plagiarize. It's a kind of cheating, not as intense compared to every. In an era where data is easy to get, quitting it really is growing more debatable. The truth is that in accordance with research, it's maybe perhaps not a rare practice maybe perhaps not by pupils globally, but from the educational group too. With entire apps like copy scape revolving round maintaining the ethics of the job, getting off with this really is getting more burdensome for anyone that endeavor.
Maybe not a lot of students understand that plagiarism is all about cheating on employing the task of another one. Which usually means that if you dig of somebody else's newspaper, you're committing plagiarism just as far as though you had been using somebody else's voice. It's a clinic which appears to become uncontrolled in schools throughout the country.
As stated by the Josephson Institute, at a poll of public and private senior school pupils, "59 percent of pupils admitted cheating on an evaluation throughout the past calendar year. 34 percent self-reported carrying out this than 2 situations", and "out one of a few senior school pupils confessed they utilized the net to plagiarize a mission".
In an era in which by "turning" content posts, or accepting documents on newspaper which someone else has composed and diluting them sounds ordinary clinic, it's not as illegal compared to should you estimate specifically without even mentioning. Merely since you switch across a handful of words also it might pass on out a program package like copy scape doesn't necessarily mean it is perhaps not cheating. The issue is it is an accepted practice from most schools and instructional preferences.
The bible and also different biblical performs are demonstrated to comprise advice which has been extracted from the other origin, or even writing without the charge being presented. So far as early times it had been standard practice to choose the ideas and thoughts of many others also put it to use for your own personal. The capacity if you are detected has been substantially not as actual.
You'll find several renowned men and women, also honored academia pros that cover salespeople to compose their own articles. Even though consented up on from the individual composing it, and also the man or woman paying it, once they placed his name to them, though it had been their particular, it's still deemed plagiarism. It's really just a sorry state of occasions when persons we exceptionally admire are utilizing precisely exactly the exact voice of many others and passing them off as their very own, however, it takes place all of the moment; point.
A huge case of the could be that the countless court cases between music from years past that are utilized in advertisements, or even from additional individuals with no compensated, or even quoted. However renowned a quotation, or notion is, even supposing it's mutual understanding, it belongs to whoever came up using this. That isn't any time limitation on the length of time you must offer attention to this man or woman who came up with a notion, idea or theory.
As info gets available on the internet and as a result of other resources, the line in between that which we purchase out of different sources and also what's obviously our authentic idea proceeds to blur. Quite a few academic men and women that place up the pub and expectations for integrity really are putting a terrible example of future generations making it okay by shifting technicalities to earn something which is adulterous seem significantly much less.
No matter if plagiarism increases, or fall during the upcoming decade on account of many methods to acquire advice, will stay to get viewed. In the event you ought to earn certain not merely this you do not be in trouble, also that you simply just maintain your very own academic ethics, in the event you are using something which is maybe perhaps not yours always give credit for your source. By employing somebody else's thoughts, it doesn't eliminate the intelligence or ingenuity, it merely presents them exactly the expected charge that they should have. Sooner or later you wouldn't desire those accepting your voice because their own, how do you?

Q: Background positioning - CSS Please see attached screenshot

The background is a bit off in both IE and chrome (although it was working before? hence the exact numbers??), although in ffox it looked allright..
Here is the code for what I thought was very straight forward... am I missing something?

#wrapper{
    width:100%;
    overflow:hidden;
    position:relative;
    background:url(../images/body-bg.jpg) no-repeat ;
    background-position: -20px top;
}

And an IE fix

    #wrapper{ background-position: -21px top; }

I actually just want it centered - so I'm just going to say "center top"

A: The combination of numeric values (-21px) and keywords (top) was not allowed in CSS 2.0 and the support is rather unreliable. Try -21px 0px.

Q: I am not able to retain numeric values in numeric fields using Java in Webdriver I am not able to retain numeric values in numeric fields using Java in Webdriver. I have tried the answer provided in Stackoverfolw question -
Java : For String values we use the command sendKeys("String"); Similarly what is the command for posting a numeric data to the numeric field
Please find the more details in the answer section i have written.
driver.findElement(By.id(OR.getProperty("AccTax_ID"))).sendKeys(String.valueOf(12345));
Thread.sleep(5000);

"").perform();

This is one field,like wise i have more numeric fields. Can anyone help me out on this issue. Help will be appreciated.

A: Sending integer value to integer field is same as sending text value to text field.
driver.findElement(By.id(OR.getProperty("AccTax_ID"))).sendKeys("12345");

OR
If you have any integer value saved in variable
int value=12345;

CD8 Tregs express CCR7, home to secondary lymphoid tissues, and suppress CD4 T cell activation.
(A) Expression of FoxP3 and CCR7 was analyzed within gated peripheral blood CD8 T cells. One representative dot blot from 7 healthy donors. (B) Frozen sections from human tonsils were stained with mouse anti-human FoxP3 and rabbit anti-human CD8 antibodies. CD8 T cells were visualized with Alexa Fluor 488 fluorescence-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibodies. FoxP3 was detected with peroxidase-labeled goat anti-mouse antibodies. Merged images demonstrate CD8+FoxP3+ T cells in T cell–rich zones. Images are representative for 4 different tissues. Scale bar: 20 μm. (C–G) CD8 Tregs were isolated directly from PBMCs or generated ex vivo. Noncultured, fresh CD8 T cells served as controls. Naive CD4 T cells were mixed with CD8 T cells (1:1 ratio) and activated with anti-CD3/CD28 beads. (C) pZAP70 in CD4 T cells was measured by flow cytometry. A representative example of pZAP70 expression after 5 minutes of stimulation in the presence and absence of CD8 Tregs. (D) Frequencies of pZAP70+ CD4 T cells were monitored over a time span of 30 minutes following activation. Results are shown as mean ± SD from 4 independent experiments. (E) Frequencies of pZAP70+ CD4 T cells were measured after 5 minutes of stimulation in 19 independent experiments (mean ± SD). (F) CD4 T cells were mixed with CD8 Tregs at different ratios, and pZAP70 in CD4 T cells was measured by flow cytometry. Date are mean ± SD from 4 independent experiments. (G) CD8+CD39+CD26– Tregs were sorted from peripheral blood and immediately tested for suppressive function by mixing them with CD4 T cells. Percentages of pZAP70+ CD4 T cells (mean ± SD) were measured by flow cytometry in 3 independent experiments. Unpaired 2-tailed Student's t test was used for comparisons.

The land that was to become Vernon Hills began with the establishment of a 200-acre farm in 1851. Use of the land didn't change much until the 1950s, when a parcel was purchased for a golf course and residential community; which marked the first use of the name "Vernon Hills." The village officially incorporated in 1958 with 123 residents and 125 houses in a single area. It grew slowly and steadily until the annexing of a plot of land, which led to the building of a 1.2MM-square-foot Hawthorn Center. By 2000, the village population had surpassed 20,000.

This pendant, done in 14k white gold, was designed for a woman from the Florida Keys who has an affinity for pink flamingos. The pink stones are the highest quality pink sapphires you can get, which are a true vibrant pink and cut to the same specs as diamond. This whimsical and fun pendant was just the piece of custom jewelry she was looking for.
This black and white diamond pendant was designed in white gold and features a 1.03ct diamond center with black and white accent diamonds. Black and brown diamonds have been very much in fashion over the past 3 or so years and it seems like they are here to stay.
This magnificent diamond band was made for a customer who wanted a unique diamond band with "a lot of bling". Her aim was to have us create a one of a kind right hand ring to celebrate her 20th anniversary.
This interesting pendant was done for an internet customer who wanted to incorporate their logo into a piece of corporate jewelry that the women in the office would want to wear. We began with a wax carving of the butterfly from their company's logo and used the design in a simple, yet intricate pendant in sterling silver.

Q: How can I display only a range of values in a rails form view? I'm quite new to rails and I have some problem with views...I have among others these three models : reservation,route and stop.
When you make a reservation, you have to select the route and the city of departure/arrival.
EDIT
class Route < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :stops, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :reservations, :dependent => :destroy
  belongs_to :train
end.

    class Stop < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :route
  has_many :reservation_deps, class_name: "Reservation", foreign_key: "dep_city_id"
  has_many :reservation_arrs, class_name: "Reservation", foreign_key: "arr_city_id"
end

class Reservation < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :route
  belongs_to :arr_city, class_name: "Stop",foreign_key: "arr_city_id"
  belongs_to :dep_city, class_name: "Stop",foreign_key: "dep_city_id"
end

I don't know if it is possible but I'd like to be able to select my city of departure/arrival only among those that belong to the route I've chosen. Any ideas how to do that?
Thank you!
Below there's a part of my reservation's form:

      <%= f.label :route %>

    <%= f.collection_select(:route_id,Route.all,:id,:as_field) %>

      <%= f.label :departure_city %>

      <%= f.collection_select(:dep_city_id,Stop.all,:id,:city) %>

      <%= f.label :arrival_city %>

      <%= f.collection_select(:arr_city_id,Stop.all,:id,:city) %>

A: Your stops should be linked to your routes through a has_and_belongs_to or has_many :through relationship right, since routes can contain many stops, and stops can belong to many routes. So assuming you have a route loaded on your reservations page, you should be able to just do the following
<%= f.collection_select :dep_city_id, @route.stops.all, :id, :name %>
<%= f.collection_select :arr_city_id, @route.stops.all, :id, :name %>

Alternatively something like
Edit: This will work even if the route to stops relationship is one to many.
<%= f.collection_select :dep_city_id, Stop.for_route(params[:route_id]), :id, :name %>

Edit 2:
In this case, it is expected that you have added a for_route scope to your Stop model which would just be a
scope for_route -> (route_id) { where(:route_id => params[:route_id]) }

In the basic case, you would have a page with your routes, you pick a route (link or something), and are taken to a page where you can make a reservation. The first page would have something like this
<% @routes.each do |route| %>
  <%= link_to route.name, new_reservation_path(:route_id => route.id) %>
<% end %>

The links generated by the code above should link to something like /reservation?route_id=XXX
When the reservations_controller#new is run, you know what the route ID is, so you can load it with something like @route = Route.find(params[:route_id])
Then, when rendering the page you will be able to use the f.collection_select helper I specified in the first example code.
In the last case, where you dont know what route the user will pick until they have selected one on the reservations page, it gets more complicated, and you will have to start using JS to query get a list of stops a route every time a new route is chosen.

When this is going to be done? We're in June cmon dude!
Imagia 3 is pretty much ready, but we are still negotiating with sponsors to help us re-finance the work that we have put into it. Annoyingly, this usually adds a few weeks to the whole cycle. Realistically, I'd say we will launch Imagia 3 by the end of June. Sorry for not announcing this properly right from the start.
PPS: I'm sending you an e-mail with some questions.


Parents are being urged to "have the chat" with their teens about drugs, rather than avoiding the conversation by dismissing their kids off with a stern "just say no".
Public health charity Addaction found through a YouGov survey that 61% of parents don't think there is enough advice on talking to young people about drugs. Interestingly, 35% of the 1,000 mums and dads surveyed said they would feel "very confident" giving advice to their teenagers about drugs.
So how should they be discussing it?
It's natural to want to protect your child from ever touching drugs, said Karen, but as kids grow into teens they want to take risks, and that's just part of the way they learn about the world.
To launch their 'Have the Chat' campaign, Addaction has developed seven tips for parents to start the conversation about drugs.
1. Don't make it a big thing. Everyone will feel awkward if you treat it like a 'big talk'… including parents. Try to think of it as the start of a regular conversation. You want to show your kids it's okay to talk about drugs.
2. Pick the right moment. You'll need a time and place when you both feel comfortable. Side-by-side chats can help put everyone at ease – try a car journey or a walk.
3. Don't feel like you have to be an expert. No-one knows about every drug, but you're the expert on your own kids. Think about your own experience and draw on that. Do some research too if you need to.
4. Listen without lecturing. We know the 'just say no' message doesn't work – in fact it can have the opposite effect. Your teenager won't want to talk if they feel judged or preached at.
5. Be patient. Kids will need a bit of time and space to think about what you discuss. This is normal and not something to worry about. Make sure they know they can come to you if things go wrong. No conversation is out of bounds, you're always there to help.
6. Be realistic. There's a good chance your teenager will come into contact with cigarettes, drugs or alcohol at some point. It's important to be realistic, even if that feels scary. If you start the conversation, be prepared to hear answers you might not like.
7. Don't give up. Be kind to yourself and remember that this isn't a pass/fail test. These things take time – even if the conversation doesn't go the way you want an initial chat can help sow a seed for the future.
The NHS recommends parents and children visit national drugs website FRANK to learn more about different drugs, the side effects, and what to do if you're worried.
Ultimately, you should ensure your child knows you're there for them whatever, because that way they're more likely to be honest with you, rather than telling you what they think you want to hear.
For more information, parents can use Addaction's free and web chat service, staffed by trained advisors. A range of resources for parents and access to web chat is available at www.addaction.org.uk.

Sorry, things are quiet on the blog front and I'm very busy with running round in circles.
Having spent a very enjoyable few days in Cambridge at the Newton institute with my former supervisor, chatting through ideas both new and old and possible new directions for further study I have now made it to the Institute for Advanced Study, in a very rainy Dublin, where I'm spending a couple of days. Today I gave my talk and tomorrow we will be hearing from one of the professors here on some interesting work related to emergent geometry.
Hopefully I will have a few hours on Saturday to see the city before flying back to England for less than 48 hours, and then back to Santiago to try and furnish my flat (my first night in the new flat, just before flying to England, was spent on a half inflated airbed covered only by a winter coat!).
A 4.15 start this morning to catch my 6.30 flight means that I'm a little tired, but the talk seemed to go ok and the questions were all interesting. Now, with a few loose ends to tie up I'm going to see if I can get me a Guinness.
Hi Jon, hope you enjoyed your Guinnes. How was the talk received by people in Dublin?
Didn't manage a Guinness yesterday, perhaps tonight.
The talk seemed to be reasonably well received, but it would probably have been better to just give an overview of AdS/CFT. It's always difficult if you want to explain your current research but even the general area (ie AdS/CFT) isn't a speciality of the group.
They seemed to cope pretty well here though.
...and a very merry Christmas to you too :-) Hope you're getting a chance to take a break.

Air Canada partners with Shoppers Drug Mart to offer pre-travel COVID-19 tests
This test will be available for customers flying to any destination requiring a negative COVID-19 test
Nov 29, 2020 4:37 PM By: Elana Shepert
Beginning Dec. 7, eligible Air Canada customers can book and purchase a COVID-19 RT-PCR test at participating Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Results are typically available within 24-48 hours. Photo courtesy of Air Canada
Air Canada has announced that it is collaborating with Shoppers Drug Mart to provide its customers with a pre-departure coronavirus (COVID-19) tests to comply with international travel requirements.
Beginning Dec. 7, eligible Air Canada customers can book and purchase a COVID-19 RT-PCR test at participating Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours, explains a news release.
"Many countries now require a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test and we are pleased to facilitate this process for our customers, making their travel experience easier and safer by recommending the RT-PCR test at select Shoppers Drug Mart locations. We believe that testing is one of the keys to protecting employees and customers, and an important step to safely reopen travel around the world, easing travel restrictions by providing alternative testing solutions in managing risk," said Dr. Jim Chung, Air Canada's Chief Medical Officer.
"Our stores and pharmacy teams are a convenient, trusted resource for Canadians. We want to continue to be a part of the solution as the country looks for ways to manage COVID-19. We're pleased to work with Air Canada to make COVID-19 RT-PCR tests accessible to travellers, and to help customers plan their travel safely and with confidence," said Ashesh Desai, Executive Vice President, Pharmacy at Shoppers Drug Mart.
This test will be available for customers flying to any destination requiring a negative COVID-19 test, including Hawaii and the Caribbean (namely, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Antigua, Barbuda and St-Lucia).
Flying to Hawaii with Air Canada
Canadians are now eligible to be exempt from Hawaii's mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival in the Hawaiian Islands via a pre-travel testing process.
Air Canada's services to Hawaii from Vancouver begins on Dec. 17 with four weekly flights to Maui and three weekly flights to Honolulu. From Calgary, flights to Maui begin Dec. 18 and are planned to ramp up to multiple times a week.
Other testing options are also offered for customers who are flying to Hawaii, including travellers from Quebec. For more details on the list of approved testing entities by the Hawaiian Government, visit here.
Now, new eligible round-trip international bookings originating in Canada booked before Nov. 30, 2020 will automatically include complimentary Manulife COVID-19 medical and quarantine insurance. This insurance covers Canadian residents when travelling to every destination the airline flies to, outside of Canada, on a booking made with Air Canada, for travel completed by until Apr. 12, 2021.
Important Pandemic Considerations
Note: Health Canada does not advise you to get a COVID-19 test if you do not have symptoms of the virus. Since a negative result is required for the Hawaiian pre-testing program, this would go against public health advice.
The Government of Canada also warns against travel outside of the country. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments that have opened their borders to tourists could impose strict travel restrictions suddenly, which could make it difficult for you to return home.
Under a measure from the Government of British Columbia, all arriving passengers from outside Canada, regardless of their final destination, are required to submit a self-isolation plan. Learn more about the Province's self-isolation plan requirement here. The plan can be submitted online here or at the Self-Assessment Tool, through the BC COVID-19 Support App, or in-person on arrival at YVR. It must show that returning passengers have supports in place to safely self-isolate for 14 days.

Mars rover on track to launch from Space Coast in July
June 17, 2020 at 9:06 pm EDT
By Mel Holt, WFTV.com and Adam Poulisse, WFTV.com
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — The Mars Perseverance Rover mission is still on track to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station next month.
NASA is targeting July 20 for the launch, and teams have worked through the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure it happens.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said missing that window be costly.
"When you talk about Earth and Mars being on the same side of the sun, that only happens about every 26 months," he said. "So, it's very expensive if we have to take Perseverance and put it back in storage for two years. It could cost half a billion dollars."
Development of the Perseverance rover through launch will cost $2.4 billion, plus another $300 million that will be spent to operate it.
The rover will land in the Jezero Crater to collect and store rock and soil samples in sealed tubes, and signs of past microbial life, as well as collect data on the planet's climate and geology, paving the way for human exploration.
"We're going to know where to go to get the absolute best science data we can get," Bridenstie said.

The rover will be equipped with microphones and its own tiny helicopter named Ingenuity.
"This is the first time we'll see a spacecraft land on another planet," said Matt Wallace, Perseverance deputy project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

The journey to Mars will take eight to 10 months. NASA won't launch the rover's return mission, collecting the samples from the Red Planet, until 2026.
"What a great time to be at NASA and watch all the things that NASA is doing," Bridenstine said.
Watch the launch LIVE on Ch. 9 and online

Gabriela Estrada grew up playing sports in Scarborough, Ontario, without any female role models involved in physical activity. She found a role model in the fictional Sailor Jupiter, who she related to because she was strong and she thought she looked like her. Now, as an ambassador for FitSpirit in the GTA, Gabriela has a platform to change the types of role models that young girls look up to. Her vision for the ambassador role is to give girls concrete role models who are diverse in athleticism and in what they look like, and to encourage girls to feel confident and be athletic. Gabriela views FitSpirit ambassadors as a new type of role model, who demonstrate hard work and determination, resilience, teamwork, grit, and self-confidence.
Being a part of FitSpirit has helped Gabriela to realize what her story is - and she has grown to be comfortable sharing it with young girls who can learn from her experiences. She has been involved in sport throughout her whole life, but in high school, she encountered a number of barriers to her involvement. First, she was benched for being too young, then because she was too old. It wasn't until playing recreational soccer during university that she became very involved with athletics. Yet, she was surrounded by students with access to incredible world class fitness facilities and programs included in their tuition, who didn't take advantage of it because of preconceived barriers to their participation. These barriers - including attitudes and prejudices about sexuality, body image dissatisfaction, lack of self-confidence, and self-comparison - are perpetuated by the lack of female representation in sports media. This female-invisibility sustains an idea that women don't belong in the world of sport, again, emphasizing the power FitSpirit ambassadors carry in breaking this notion through providing a new type of role model for young girls. She hopes that by sharing their experiences, FitSpirit ambassadors will help to break down these barriers early, so girls feel the freedom and confidence to seize the opportunities available to them.
In her four years with FitSpirit, Gabriela has spent time both as a speaker ambassador and as a physical activity ambassador. She gets involved as often as possible - she even donates most of her time, although there is no expectation for this. The ambassador experience is very flexible in terms of time commitment. It's also good to know that there is no expectation in terms of the fitness level that an ambassador should be at. Gabriela hopes to see more ambassadors joining in the GTA, because Toronto is incredibly diverse. Women who recognize their story and who are comfortable sharing it will make it possible to represent Toronto's diversity for young girls in the region, enabling them to find a strong, relatable, role model. Her advice to any women who are interested in getting involved is to "take that opportunity." You can make such a difference by getting up in front of a group of girls and talking to them for 45 minutes." Gabriela feels motivated to keep returning to the schools as an ambassador because of the feeling in the room after she tells her story or runs a fitness class. She can feel an overwhelming sense of girl power as all the girls get together and take group photos and selfies with their medals. To see them wanting to showcase their hard work and accomplishments with one another is a central part of what FitSpirit means to Gabriela.

TikTok is the future | Daily #218
Better make use and exploit it, or never touch it.
Both positive and negative social media is here to stay. For a long time. I thought Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter were addictive. You haven't seen TikTok yet.
From anecdotal experiences and advertising/engagement numbers, TikTok is crazy. Double as addictive and in some sense more valuable as well. It's so addictive that Instagram immediately builds a replicate of reels, which usually contain the same video that is on TikTok.
Whether you like it or not, the trend is that TikTok or a similar solution like Instagram reel is the future of social media. The smart ones will ride this wave and advertise on the platform, build a following, or simply become an influencer.
What do I think of this? Not that happy about it honestly. TikTok is owned by a Chinese company which means your data is abused in all ways we don't even know. So much engagement with these video-based content also means an increase in social media addiction. We all deep down know that social media can cause depression for the weak and being exposed to more of it, isn't good.
But whatever you may think of TikTok, it is here to stay. It has become cultural which means it won't go away unless a better solution comes. Better make use and exploit it, or never touch it.
