Thank You for joining me for another edition.
When this month ends, we will be 6 months until 2012; where are you in your intended accomplishments for 2011? Reset yourself and forge on. It is NEVER too late when you are on the road of progress.
The 8 Dimensions of Leadership ~ DiSC� Strategies for becoming a Better Leader by Dr. Jeffrey Sugerman, Dr. Mark Scullard and Emma Wilhelm, M.S. - is available.
By ordering the book through me - I will be able to provide you with a link to take the Leadership assessment, which will identify your primary leadership dimension. The advantage is if you desire to participate in any of the other Everything DiSC� Applications [Management, Sales or Workplace], you will NOT have to retake the assessment.
Please contact me DIRECTLY at gloriajean@bww.com, if you are interested in further information regarding the book and the DiSC Leadership information that you can be provided.
The 8 Dimensions of Leadership are: Pioneering, Energizing, Affirming, Inclusive, Humble, Deliberate, Resolute or Commanding.
For those who are familiar with DiSC, this is really a breakthrough; for those who are not - this is a great way to be introduced.
Plan and Schedule - they go hand-in-hand. If you want to accomplish something (goal), you must set aside adequate time to perform the task. Schedule it like a Doctors' appointment.
Be specific in your goals/tasks; be able to measure your progress; set them in achievable chucks of time; be certain they are realistic; and set time perimeters for each step. s-m-a-r-t = SMART goals!!
Don't let time-wasting activities trip you up to make you think you are do 'something" -- constant checking of email--social networking sites--IM: set a specific time to check 3x per day.
Important versus Urgent ~ Important - those things that contribute significantly to your objectives. Urgent - those things that require immediate attention. All activities have some degree of urgent and importance built-in. Stick to the Important/non-urgent 'work to do'.
Learn to say "No". If your 'plate' is full - let others know. Give someone else a chance to assist. You do everyone a disservice when you say 'yes' and are unable to handle your portion!! Especially the stress you inflicted on yourself!!
Prepare a plan with a libel amount of flexibility; but have some idea of what YOU want to accomplish with each and every day (3 major goals/task).
Break large projects into smaller pieces over several days. Aim to finish two days before due dates. Delegate to competent persons, with specific instructions and timelines.
Make time to relax yourself - sit in a quiet room; get a massage; have lunch with a friend who makes you laugh; get more than 4 hours sleep; go to a funny movie; go sit at the Beach or in a Park; get some ice cream and sit and think of nothing but the flavor!!
I have moved to a WordPress platform.
I will be initiating a Blog soon (stay tuned). I am still tweaking and have to reset some of the pages; BUT, please visit and let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.
1. Get Focused - what do you 'love' to do? Do more of it.
Review what got you to where you are now.
Financial; Health; Career; Relationship; Learning; and Community?
3. Take Action!! You have 6 months for a great ending (of 2011). JUST Do It!!!
The best place to succeed is where you are with what you have.

Live Video Shopping in a Covid19 World
Video platforms like Zoom have rekindled the technology side of businesses, and helped reimagine how retail can target everyone working from home, to shop from home and new creative partnerships are springing up.
In June, Frame entered into a four-month pilot agreement with Bambuser AB to bring its consumers a new kind of shopping experience through live video shopping.
"This partnership allows us to create an even more immersive shopping experience and engage with our customers in real-time in circumstances when we can't interact in-person," said Jens Grede, cofounder and creative director of Frame. "We're always looking for ways to enhance our shopping experience and Bambuser's live shopping video feature allows us to blend our off-line and online channels in an engaging and entertaining way that more prominently highlights our current collections."
Bambuser was founded in Stockholm in 2007 as the "world's first company with a platform for interactive mobile live video broadcasting" though introduced live video shopping just last year. The company's proprietary streaming technology is an end-to-end solution that enables mobile livestreaming directly on a brand or retailer's web site.
"With the live shopping videos, we're taking a leap into the future of retail and allowing brands to interact with their audience in the way they interact with each other, online or via smartphones," said Sophie Abrahamsson, chief business development officer at Bambuser. "As the e-commerce space has grown over the past few months, retailers are looking for more efficient ways to deliver their products and brand experience to their consumers while they're unable to interact in-person."
"Brands like Frame are interested in taking their e-commerce channel to the next level by creating an even more engaging digital shopping experience where consumers can shop their latest pieces while also asking everything they want to know about it and getting feedback in real-time," Abrahamsson said.
"We've seen an increase in e-commerce sales over the past few months and believe that consumers will continue shopping online even as some cities begin to reopen," Grede said. "We pride ourselves on providing authentic and seamless customer experience and believe that brands need to create an e-commerce platform that helps consumers shop on their terms. Right now, consumers are looking for seamless and contactless ways to shop their favorite brands whether it's shopping online, curbside pickup or one-on-one virtual shopping appointments — and our biggest priority is to continue to ensure the health and safety of our customers and workforce."
Through the new functionality, Frame will be hosting live shopping videos on a monthly basis tapping into its large base of influencers and stylists to present the newest products and collections. The videos will highlight clothing fit, fabric technology and styling.
"Working with influencers and stylists has been a part of Frame's DNA since Day One having collaborated with notable names in the industry like Imaan Hammam, Karlie Kloss and Tamara Mellon to name a few," Grede said. "It only made sense to continue providing our customers with the best content and insight into fashion with stylists and influencers who've been longtime friends and supporters of the brand."
The first live shopping video was hosted by Zanna Roberts Rassi, E! News style correspondent. During the session, Roberts Rassi walked through how to style various looks from the brand's latest products and answered questions submitted by viewers.
According to Bambuser's web site, its live video shopping technology sees an average of 6.2 times engagement rate compared to the industry average and 4.7 times the add-to-cart rate.
"Technology is a driving force that's helping consumers and businesses alike navigate through the new normal we're living in. It can help us now more than usual, as it allows us to connect people, products and data together, as well as give you access to share information around the world practically instantaneously so that everyone can stay connected. For businesses, this is crucial in order to survive during these unprecedented times by efficiently connecting virtually with their teams and customers," Abrahamsson said.
On July 10, Bambuser announced a new partnership with Moda Operandi.
Condé Nast to put up 3 Magazines for Sale!
The brand behind Vogue, New Yorker and Vanity Fair are forced to take some austerity measures after losses of up to $120 Million last year. They have taken measures to cut spending and be more digitally savvy, but it is expected to adopt strategies to ensure that it does not disappear completely.
After Boston Consulting Group did a monthlong audit of their internal systems, Robert A. Sauerberg Jr., the chief executive of Condé Nast, plans to address senior staff members on August 8th.
The company having lost more than $120 million last year, plans to put three of its 14 magazines — Brides, Golf Digest and W — up for sale, three executives said. The marquee titles, including Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker are safe, for now.
The decades-long magazine boom that made the ostentatious possible, is a thing of the past. A shift in media-consumption has elevated Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube above the printed page. Before Time Inc. was sold to the Meredith Corporation, it experienced sharp declines in annual revenue. The ad buying firm Magna projects print magazine ad sales will fall by a double digit rate this year.
The $120 million loss in 2017 came about because of a sharp decline in ad revenue generated by the print magazines. Gains in the digital arena have helped offset the loss, but not enough to make the company profitable. Condé Nast reached its decision to entertain offers for Brides, Golf Digest and W partly on the recommendation of Boston Consulting Group.

Nike Loses More People Amid Misconduct Probe
Nike Inc.'s Converse brand lost its chief marketing officer to streetwear label Supreme, Business of Fashion reports.
Julien Cahn resigned from Converse earlier this year and left the company in February for a marketing role at the up-and-coming brand. Cahn joined Converse in 2016 from parent Nike. Several executives have recently left Nike in the wake of an internal probe into misconduct, though Cahn's departure wasn't related, people said. Nike began an internal review of misconduct last month, after complaints from employees. A handful of executives have exited, including Trevor Edwards, who was one of the favorites to succeed Chief Executive Officer Mark Parker.
Last week, an analyst's report said nine Nike employees at director level or higher, including Cahn, had left the company in the past 35 days amid "recent cultural turmoil." Nike executives go from director to senior director and then vice president. The departures are seen adding additional "downside risk" to Nike's long-term growth trajectory, Sam Poser of Susquehanna Financial Group wrote in a note to clients.
Gucci has a new Pop-Up Concept
Gucci is introducing a series of global, pop-up stores, designed to create even more reasons for customers to shop across the year. This is especially in regions where luxury brand may not already have a physical outpost. Target destinations over the next year include Chengdu, Sao Paulo, Taipei, Bangkok, Moscow, Mexico City, Dubai and many more across Europe, Latin America, the US, Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.
The Pop-Ups are called "Gucci Pin" and will each be open an average of five weeks. In some cases, shops will open and close over the course of a year in the same city or location, dependent on different occasions. Digital content will play a major role in keeping the customers hooked.
The first shop opened on November 5 in Hong Kong, and will be followed by Fukuoka, Seongnam, Paris and Denver in the first wave of openings throughout the month.
Gucci Chief Executive Marco Bizzarri said that the Gucci Pin stores will allow the brand to reach different consumer segments than it can with its brick and mortar stores. "We are therefore looking at Gucci Pin as a new map for new territories, combining an immersive digital activation to further enhance the physical experience," he said.
The idea is simple, pop-up shops will feed the growing demand for constant newness, especially among younger consumers buying entry-level price point items plus with Limited edition runs creating a sense of urgency.
This strategy is especially important because Gucci's sales growth have slowed down this year. The brand saw revenue increase 11 percent on a comparable basis in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 35 percent in the same period the prior year. But Gucci is still on track to reach its goal of €10 billion in annual revenue in the coming years.
The first wave is all about gifts for the holiday season. The second, opening in early 2020, will celebrate the Chinese New Year, later in the year, there will be a "psychedelic" theme, with products designed to reflect the concepts.
Asia is Gucci's largest and fastest-growing region, so it's no surprise that many of the first stores to open are in the region.
Looking forward to whats in store for Dubai and the rest of the Middle East.

By Jessica Holdman, Forum News SErvice
BISMARCK - North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger said state legislators may reconsider extending tax incentives for oil producers if crude prices remain low.
"If we end up having a few more months like this, it could raise awareness and get some analysis done," Rauschenberger said Monday during an announcement that the first in a series of oil extraction tax incentives has been triggered.
HB 1437, which will have its first hearing Wednesday, would extend a 4.5 percent reduction of the oil extraction tax triggered by low crude prices through 2019. Rauschenberger said there is a chance the bill could be amended in committee since state oil revenue projections have been lowered.
The trigger, which will affect new wells drilled after Feb. 1, is scheduled to last until June 30, unless it is re-authorized.
The trigger goes into effect whenever West Texas Intermediate crude oil stays below an average price of $57.50 for a month.
The incentive is for the first 75,000 barrels produced or the first $4.5 million of gross value for the first 18 months after a well is completed. At $45 per barrel, the incentive is equivalent to $152,000 in savings per well drilled.
Rauschenberger said the reduction in extraction tax revenue does not affect county revenue from the gross production tax. The lower price of crude affects state revenue more than the tax incentives, he said.
The last time the extraction tax trigger was in effect was when it was introduced in 2009. Prices rose soon after it was implemented, so it is difficult to tell how much effect the trigger will have on drilling, Rauschenberger said.
Rauschenberger said he has heard some industry discussion about waiting to drill until the incentive went into place. However, on a $10 million well, it is more costly to wait than to drill, according to Rauschenberger.
Rauschenberger said no bills have been introduced yet to address the larger extraction tax trigger that drops the rate to zero percent.
In order for that trigger to kick in, West Texas Intermediate crude must remain below $55.09 for five consecutive months, meaning it could take effect in June.

David Kerr, chief executive at QRL Radiator Group, said: "Having recently revealed our fresh look and vision for the company, there couldn't be a better time to bolster the QRL Radiator Group management team.

Based in the company's Derrilyn offices, she will be responsible for the day-to-day running of all aspects of the panel and design departments in Ireland – from admin and HR to sales and warehousing.

Q: Смена раскладки клавиатуры в системе Необходимо периодически менять раскладку системы, при этом сама программа в момент переключения не должна быть активной, соответственно ни CurrentInputLanguage, ни LoadKeyboardLayout не подходят (либо я не правильно их использую).
Что можете посоветовать?

A: Если нет функции "наделать дел в чужом процессе" (а обычно таких функций нет), то вам нужно загрузить свою динамическую библиотеку в чужой процесс и вызвать код "изнутри" него. Таким образом поступают всякого рода Пунто Свитчеры, файрволы и прочие утилиты.
C# использовать для таких вещей крайне не рекомендуется, потому что вместе с C# вы затащите в каждый процесс среду выполнения .NET. Это тяжеловесня штука, и не каждый процесс такому будет рад. Например, MS до сих пор не рекомендует писать расширения оболочки на управляемых языках (они реализованы как in-process COM-серверы, и грузятся во многие процессы в системе).
Ту часть приложения, которой нужно интимное взаимодействие со многими процессами, лучше написать, например, на C++.
[Добавлено]
Как выяснилось, вы можете воспользоваться PostMessage и WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST. Пример на AutoHotKey.

A: Разобрался, вот результат:
Для начала цепляем две ф-ции WinAPI из user32.dll
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern bool PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int LoadKeyboardLayout(string pwszKLID, uint Flags);

Говорил о двух а написал три, первая - для поиска хендла активного в текущий момент окна
Далее все предельно просто, загружаем код раскладки и отправляем его с помощью WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST (код 0x50) в активное окно:
string lang = "00000409";
int ret = LoadKeyboardLayout(lang, 1);
PostMessage(GetForegroundWindow(), 0x50, 1, ret);

Минимальный список языков:
"00000407" Немецкий (стандартный)
"00000409" Английский (США)
"0000040C" Французский (стандартный)
"0000040D" Финский

"00000425" Эстонский
"00000426" Латвийский
"00000427" Литовский

Я не совсем понял как, но код работает, а это главное!
Спасибо @Athari за помощь и правильный пинок в правильном направлении!

A: в заголовке класса формы объявите переменную defLang следующим образом:

Virginia's Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims for Week Ending November 27th
~ Seasonally unadjusted weekly initial unemployment insurance claims decreased from the previous filing week as continued claims rose during that period ~
RICHMOND—The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) announced that the number of initial claims fell toward more typical pre-Pandemic levels during the most recent filing week.
For the filing week ending November 27—amid processing system changes in recent weeks—the figure for seasonally unadjusted initial claims in Virginia was 6,546. The latest claims figure was a decrease of 6,548 claimants from the previous week. Eligibility for benefits is determined on a weekly basis, and so not all weekly claims filed result in a benefit payment. This is because the initial claims numbers represent claim applications; claims are then reviewed for eligibility and legitimacy.
For the most recent filing week, continued weeks claimed totaled 13,917, which was an increase of 6,605 claims from the previous week and 81% lower than the 72,305 continued claims from the comparable week last year. Over half of claims that had a self-reported industry were in the health care and social assistance industries, professional and business services, administrative and waste services, retail trade, and manufacturing industries. The continued claims total is mainly comprised of those recent initial claimants who continued to file for unemployment insurance benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional information on who is claiming unemployment insurance in Virginia, access the VEC's U.I. claims data dashboard (https://www.vec.virginia.gov/ui-claims-dashboard) that is updated no later than the following Monday after the weekly claims press release.
Nationwide, in the week ending November 27, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 222,000, an increase of 28,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised down by 5,000 from 199,000 to 194,000. The advance number of actual initial claims under state programs, unadjusted, totaled 211,896 in the week ending November 27, a decrease of 41,622 (or -16.4 percent) from the previous week. There were 711,416 initial claims in the comparable week in 2020. Looking at preliminary data, more states reported decreases on a seasonally unadjusted basis. Virginia's preliminary weekly change (-9,128) was the largest decrease. Texas's preliminary weekly change (-5,991) was the second largest decrease. California's preliminary weekly change (-4,568) was the third largest decrease. Michigan's weekly change (-2,739) was the fourth largest decrease.

Dezember 1946 wurden die beiden ursprünglich getrennten Besatzungszonen mit Wirkung zum 1. Januar 1947 zum Vereinigten Wirtschaftsgebiet zusammengeschlossen. Im März 1948  beschlossen die Westalliierten auf der Londoner Sechs-Mächte-Konferenz den Zusammenschluss der Französischen Besatzungszone mit Ausnahme des Saarlandes mit der Bizone, wodurch diese zur Trizone wurde (formell erst im April 1949). Mit der Währungsreform fand im Juni 1948 der erste wichtige Schritt zur Gründung eines Weststaates statt.

Die Exekutive des Vereinigten Wirtschaftsgebiets übernahm zunächst das Direktorium des Ersten Wirtschaftsrates (22. Juli 1947 bis 10. März 1948) und anschließend der Verwaltungsrat des Zweiten Wirtschaftsrates, der auch nach Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland am 23. Mai 1949 bis zur Wahl und Ernennung des ersten Bundeskanzlers Konrad Adenauer am 20. September 1949 im Amt blieb.

Geschichte
Ein Zusammenschluss der britischen und der US-amerikanischen Besatzungszone wurde bereits im Sommer 1946 im Zonenbeirat diskutiert. Er versprach wirtschaftliche Vorteile. In der britischen Zone lagen die großen Grundstoff- und Industriegebiete des Rheinlandes und Westfalens, in der amerikanischen Zone lagen große landwirtschaftliche Gebiete und ein beträchtlicher Teil der verarbeitenden Industrie. Die alliierten Bestimmungen hatten die Zonen hermetisch gegeneinander abgeschottet. Nach zwei Elendswintern würde angesichts der katastrophalen Ernährungs- und Wirtschaftslage ein Handel zwischen den zwei Zonen für beide nützlich sein.

Sowohl die Sowjetunion als auch Frankreich hatten auf der Pariser Konferenz der Außenminister 1946 trotz der Einladung der USA, an einer wirtschaftlichen Vereinigung der Zonen mitzutun, auf der Abschottung ihres Herrschaftsbereiches bestanden. Deswegen war keine Lösung der wirtschaftlichen Problematik auf Vier-Mächte-Basis möglich. Ihre Ablehnung verhinderte, dass ein wirtschaftlich einheitlicher Raum entstehen konnte, der auch die sowjetische (Ostzone) und französische Besatzungszone einschloss.

In einer Konferenz von Vertretern der Länder der amerikanischen und britischen Zone vom 5. bis 11. September 1946 wurde beschlossen, Verwaltungsräte für Wirtschaft (Minden), Verkehr (Frankfurt am Main), Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (Stuttgart), Post- und Fernmeldewesen (Frankfurt am Main) sowie einen gemeinsamen Deutschen Finanzrat (Stuttgart) zu schaffen. Erste bizonale Verwaltungsstellen nahmen noch 1946 ihre Tätigkeit auf.

Während der Konferenz wies der US-amerikanische Außenminister James F. Byrnes am 6. September in seiner sogenannten Rede der Hoffnung auf die Notwendigkeit der wirtschaftlichen Einheit Deutschlands und die Belebung seiner wirtschaftlichen Kräfte sowie die Stärkung der deutschen Selbstverantwortung in Politik und Wirtschaft hin.

Auf der Konferenz der Regierungschefs jener Länder am 4. Oktober 1946 in Bremen wurden Vorschläge zur Bildung eines "Deutschen Länderrates" diskutiert. Am 2. Dezember 1946 unterzeichneten der britische Außenminister Ernest Bevin und sein US-Kollege James F. Byrnes in New York die wirtschaftliche Vereinigung der amerikanischen und britischen Zone zum 1. Januar 1947. Bereits zum 1. Oktober 1946 erhielten die Eisenbahnverwaltungen beider Zonen eine gemeinsame Hauptverwaltung der Eisenbahnen mit Sitz in Bielefeld.

Die Wirtschaftsverwaltung der amerikanischen und britischen Zone wurde durch den Verwaltungsrat für Wirtschaft mit Sitz in Minden übernommen. Am 29. Mai 1947 wurde ein Abkommen zwischen der amerikanischen und britischen Militärregierung über die Einrichtung eines Wirtschaftsrates für das Vereinigte Wirtschaftsgebiet mit Sitz in Frankfurt am Main unterzeichnet, eine "quasiparlamentarische Vertreterversammlung", die von den Landtagen der Bizone gewählt wurde.

Am 7. Januar 1948 beriet die erste deutsch-alliierte Konferenz mit Teilnehmern der Ministerpräsidenten und Militärgouverneure der amerikanischen und britischen Zone über die Neuorganisation der Zweizonenverwaltung. Es wurde beschlossen, den Wirtschaftsrat umzubilden, eine zweite Kammer aus Vertretern der deutschen Länder zu schaffen sowie einen Obergerichtshof und eine Zentralbank für das Vereinigte Wirtschaftsgebiet zu errichten.

Geografie und Einwohner
Zur eigentlichen Bizone gehörten die Länder Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, Bremen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hessen, Bayern und Württemberg-Baden – der Nordteil des späteren Baden-Württemberg –, nicht jedoch Württemberg-Hohenzollern, Baden, Rheinland-Pfalz, der bayerische Landkreis Lindau, West-Berlin und das Saarland. (Für eine Regelung der aufgeworfenen Frage, wie mit Frankreichs Abwicklung des Warenverkehrs zwischen der autonomen Saar und der Bizone zu verfahren war, unterzeichneten die drei westlichen Militärregierungen im Februar 1948 das Wirtschaftsabkommen zur Saar.) Die Bevölkerung der Bizone umfasste einschließlich Flüchtlingen und Vertriebenen etwa 41 Millionen Menschen, während im Jahr 1936 nur 34 Millionen in diesem Gebiet gelebt hatten.

Politische Bedeutung des Zusammenschlusses
Auf der Pariser Konferenz der Außenminister im Sommer 1946 hatten die USA noch versucht, eine Viermächtelösung des Deutschlandproblems zustande zu bringen. Byrnes hatte einen Vertragsentwurf aus dem Frühjahr 1946 nochmals zur Sprache gebracht. Er sah vor, dass Deutschland unter Aufsicht der Siegermächte für 25 Jahre waffenlos und neutral bleiben sollte. Molotow lehnte ab, obwohl Byrnes sich sogar zu 40 Jahren bereiterklärte. Eine Schlussfolgerung, schon mit der Gründung der Bizone zum 1. Januar 1947 hätten sich die USA von den Potsdamer Beschlüssen abgewendet, kann daher nicht gezogen werden. Es war vielmehr eine pragmatische Reaktion auf eine Notlage, die allerdings auch eine weitere Verfestigung der Ost-West-Spaltung bedeutete.

Später folgte auch die administrative Annäherung, der Weg zu einem westdeutschen Teilstaat war vorgezeichnet, auch wenn viele westdeutsche Politiker noch Widerstand dagegen setzten. Mit der Bizone wurde eine neue staatliche und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung begonnen, die mit der Währungsreform im Juni 1948 vertieft wurde. Allerdings wurden damit auch die Weichen für die endgültige Teilung in West- sowie in Mittel- und Ostdeutschland gestellt. Die Vereinigten Staaten und das Vereinigte Königreich betonten zwar den rein administrativen und ökonomischen Charakter der Bizone. Faktisch entwickelte sich die Bizone aber zum Ausgangspunkt für die Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die als Bund der Länder in die Rechte und Pflichten der Verwaltung des Vereinigten Wirtschaftsgebietes eintrat ( des Grundgesetzes).

style file: For Time's Arrow, the Time Is Now
For Time's Arrow, the Time Is Now
In the world of purses, functionality and style are all too often mutually exclusive. But with new brand on the block Time's Arrow, that is not the case. Launched this month by apparel-industry veteran Christine Park, the handbag line delivers practical day-to-night purses with style to spare. Bags—if you will—for the urban adventurer.
"You see a beautiful handbag on the corner of every street in New York City," says Park, "but I found that there was a lack of thought for the inside. So our key mantra was designing outside in and inside out." The result is a line of bags with deceptively slim silhouettes—deceptive because, inside, one finds roomy gussets big enough to hold your credit cards, a lipstick (or four), and even an iPad. "You know how when you fold origami, and it's super flat, and then you pop it up, and it turns into a bird? It has a similar function to that," Park laughs.
Take the Epic Portfolio (above, bottom right), a little wonder that boasts a hidden fold-out section, removable mirror, and a lightly padded compartment for the aforementioned iPad. "When we made that bag, we really thought about that kind of utility for an urban explorer. And I think we tried to extrapolate ideas and details from that concept into each and every bag."
Considering the brand's debut range features fourteen styles in buttery signature leathers, patterned haircalf, and embossed-snakeskin and crocodile-print leather, we advise Herculean hobo bags to watch their backs.
Time's Arrow's debut collection is available for preorder now at Neiman Marcus, and will be sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Steven Alan, Lane Crawford, 10 Corso Como, and other select retailers come August.

Book review: Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh
Tuesday, March 6, 2018 Permalink
Clare Mackintosh's debut novel, I Let You Go, took my breath away. Very literally. In fact the unexpected twist she offered up midway through the book almost resulted in me dropping my iPad into the bathtub.
It was easily one of my favourite books of 2015. Her second book I See You, was also enjoyable and very clever and contemporary – using the interwebz and technology to taunt and stalk.
Her third (and new release), Let Me Lie, probably rivals her debut for me in terms of its twists and turns, cos just when I thought I had it figured out… I was fooled again!
Let Me Lie
by Clare Mackintosh

Genres: Psychological Thriller
The police say it was suicide.Anna says it was murder.They're both wrong.
One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life brutally: a shocking suicide planned to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with their loss ever since.
Now with a young baby of her own, Anna misses her mother more than ever and starts to question her parents' deaths. But by digging up their past, she'll put her future in danger.
We've got a great lead in Anna Johnson. After a whirlwind romance with the psychologist she started seeing after her parents' deaths (ethics schmethics) she's recently become mother to eight week old Ella.
It's just four days before Christmas when we meet Anna and she's struggling with the first anniversary of her mother's death. We quickly learn that Anna's father took his own life 19mths earlier and her mother, suicided in the exact same way 7mths later.
Anna, already struggling with the loss of her father, never accepted that her mother would do something like that, particularly when she knew what it felt like to be left behind.
Anna believes her unease is validated when she receives an anonymous note questioning the verdict of suicide and she takes her concerns to the police.
Knowing his colleagues won't formally look into the deaths of Anna's parents without more substantial evidence, former (retired) police officer now civilian desk-jockey Murray Mackenzie decides to tackle the investigation himself. Unofficially.
In addition to Murray and Anna's voices, we meet Anna's mother. I was initially a bit worried, as writing from the viewpoint of someone deceased or ethereal can be a challenge and I steer clear of science fiction / fantasy and the like cos I need realism in my reading. (As an aside, when I googled 'fiction narrated by a dead person' it was waaaaay more popular than I realised.)
Anyhoo…. There's no need to worry here. Caroline is forced to look in on her daughter's life and now hamstrung by Anna's determination to learn the truth.
You have to move on.
But it's hard to move on when you're a non-person; when you've left behind the life you knew and haven't yet begun a fresh one. When you're stuck in no-man's land between this life and the next. When you're dead. p 37
And this… (brilliant opening)
Death does not suit me. I wear it like a borrowed coat; it slips off my shoulders and trails in the dirt. It is ill-fitting. Uncomfortable. p 3
Pragmatic. And perfect for this lover-of-logic.
And finally there's another voice, a more sinister voice, lurking in the background. Waiting….
Mackintosh again does a great job with the characters. In addition to Anna we meet her partner Mark, her uncle and mother's goddaughter. And – through memories we learn more about her parents' courtship and marriage.. although Anna realises she knew little about their fiery relationship.
The cast we're offered are all complex and – on occasions – pique our suspicions.
Mackintosh's writing is great and pacing fabulous because we're lulled into thinking we're back on an even keel when we're again flummoxed. (And no, I'm not good at metaphors!)
And that's her superpower…. her ability to thrown in a twist or ten readers do not see coming. I'd guessed at the first couple (and a therapist would have a field day in working out why I always feel compelled to boast that I'd worked out 'whodunnit' in my reviews) but here….. there's twist upon twist and Mackintosh very expertly reveals each with perfect precision and excellent shock value.
In my little world there are a handful of authors who consistently deliver amazing books; whether it's the writing or characters or storytelling – or all of the above – and Mackintosh is certainly one of them.
Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh will be published in Australia by Hachette and available from 8 March 2018.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes.

Today in TV History: 'BoJack Horseman' Debuted and Started Horsin' Around with Depression
By Joe Reid Twitter @joereid Aug 22, 2017 at 12:00pm
Where to Stream:
Powered by Reelgood
Of all the great things about television, the greatest is that it's on every single day. TV history is being made, day in and day out, in ways big and small. In an effort to better appreciate this history, we're taking a look back, every day, at one particular TV milestone.
IMPORTANT DATE IN TV HISTORY: August 22, 2014
PROGRAM ORIGINALLY AIRED ON THIS DATE: BoJack Horseman, Season 1, Episode 1. [Stream on Netflix]
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: If you're picking the most unlikely Netflix original hit, you'd have some stiff competition. Who knew an '80s monster pastiche like Stranger Things would end up being the phenomenon it was? But a strong contender for the most unlikely would have to be BoJack Horseman, the animated series decidedly not for kids about a washed up former sitcom star who is also coincidentally a horse, who is also massively and demonstrably depressed. He lives in a Hollywood Hollywoo that is a melting pot of humans and any number of anthropomorphized animals, all living and working and competing with each other.
BoJack is an odd concept, but it presents a world that is wide open for the most absurd comedy, and the show consistently delivers. Every frame offers some joke somewhere — a billboard, a marquee, a storefront — and the satire of the movie business is as sharp as you'll find anywhere. And then there's BoJack himself at the center. He used to star in an ABC sitcom called "Horsin' Around," where he played the equine guardian to a trio of kids, in the Charles in Charge vein. (That Netflix has both BoJack and Fuller House in its lineup at the same time is almost a dark joke in and of itself.) BoJack has never been able to replicate that success himself, and he's become bitter, moody, and a heavy drinker. That the show takes this side of BoJack seriously, ultimately plumbing the depths of his depression, guilt, shame, et cetera, might make this sound like a kind of animated therapy session. But the show is careful to balance out the seriousness with that absurd humor. To that end, they cast people like Amy Sedaris (as BoJack's agent Princess Carolyn), Paul F. Tompkins (as BoJack's frenemy Mr. Peanut Butter), plus a guest star cast that you have to see (hear?) to believe.
As BoJack Horseman prepares to deliver its fourth season, there's no better time to catch up on the show from the beginning. Three years since its debut, that first episode really hooks you. The parody of TGIF shows with "Horsin' Around" is so accurate, and the world of Hollywoo is such an intricately (and hilariously) populated one that it's impossible not to dive right in.
Stream Bojack Horseman on Netflix.

De organoscandiumchemie bestudeert verbindingen waarin een directe binding tussen koolstof en scandium voorkomt. Aangezien scandium een metaal is, is de organoscandiumchemie een deelgebied van de organometaalchemie. Organoscandiumchemie is vooral van academisch belang, hoewel een aantal groepen verbindingen ook daarbuiten aangewend worden, bijvoorbeeld als katalysator in polymerisaties. Een veelgebruikte bron voor het scandium is scandiumchloride.

Net als voor de andere elementen uit groep 3 van het periodiek systeem, zoals yttrium (organoyttriumverbindingen), en de lanthaniden, is de voornaamste vorm waarin scandium voorkomt die met oxidatiegetal +III met de elektronenconfiguratie [Ar] 3d14s2). De leden van deze groep hebben een grote ionstraal, voor Sc3+ wordt 88 pm gemeten tegen 67 pm voor Al3+, en onbezette s-, p- en d-orbitalen. Deze eigenschappen resulteren in een gedrag van hard lewiszuur, gecombineerd met de neiging tot hoge coördinatiegetallen (9 tot 12). De koolstof-metaalbinding is daardoor grotendeels ionogeen.

Liganden
Het gros van de organoscandiumverbindingen heeft minstens een cyclopentadienylligand (Cp). De algemene structuur van deze verbindingen is CpScX2, Cp2ScX of Cp3Sc. De mononucleaire verbindingen hebben weinig toepassingen omdat ze door de gebrekkige sterische afscherming van het metaal zeer gevoelig zijn voor nucleofiele additie, zowel door specifieke nucleofielen als door oplosmiddel.

Cp2ScCl kan bereid worden op basis van cyclopentadienylnatrium:

ScCl3 + 2NaCp → ScCp2Cl + 2 NaCl

Het chlorideion kan door een groot aantal andere liganden vervangen worden, bijvoorbeeld door een allylgroep in een reactie met allylmagnesiumbromide:

ScCp2Cl + C3H5MgBr → ScCp2(η3-C3H5) + MgClBr

Verbindingen van het type Cp2ScX vormen dimeren, waarbij de X-ligand de brug vormt tussen de twee scandiumatomen. Dimerisatie wordt voorkomen als het oplosmiddel zelf aan scandium kan coördineren, zoals tetrahydrofuraan of acetonitril, of als de Cp-ligand vervangen wordt door een ruimtelijk grotere ligand zoals de Cp*-groep. De verbinding Cp*2ScCl is stabiel als monomeer.

De verbinding met drie Cp-laganden kan eveneens op basis van cyclopentadienylnatrium bereid worden:

ScCl3 + 3 NaCp → ScCp3 + 3 NaCl

De gevormde verbinding is lucht- en vochtgevoelig en vormt polymere ketens met een Cp-eenheid als koppeling tussen de verschillende eenheden en twee η5-Cp-liganden. Door een overmaat coördinerend oplosmiddel toe te voegen worden de polymeren weer verbroken.

Abbotsford looking to make money from selling naming rights to assets
City manager George Murray says other communities in the province have been making up to $1 million for the sponsorship of their assets.
The city wants to know how much money it can expect by selling naming rights for its assets. Abbotsford Centre is likely to be among those considered.
The City of Abbotsford wants to know how much it can make by selling naming rights to its facilities and other assets.
While Abbotsford doesn't know how much it could stand to make from sponsorships, the city has issued a request for proposals to develop an inventory of "municipal programs, services, facilities, events and other marketing assets." Such an inventory would also include the revenue the city could expect to make from selling sponsorships.
Murray said the city would consult with the public before allowing a company to go ahead with a sponsorship.
Top of the list will likely be naming rights for Abbotsford Centre. Arenas in many communities are named for corporate sponsors, although often they also have an anchor tenant.
In Vernon, the regional district receives $40,000 every year for the sponsorship of Kal Tire Place, a 3,000-seat facility that hosts British Columbia Hockey League games and other events.

Metallica to drop Black Album box with 53 song tribute featuring Vishal Dadlani, Divine, Miley Cyrus, J Balvin, Elton John among others

The Black Album is one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed records of all time. Its 1991 release not only gave Metallica its first No. 1 album in no fewer than 10 countries, including a 4-week run at No. 1 in the U.S., its unrelenting series of singles — 'Enter Sandman', 'The Unforgiven', 'Nothing Else Matters', 'Wherever I May Roam', and 'Sad But True' — fueled the band's rise to stadium headlining, radio and MTV dominating household name status. The album's reception from the press was similarly charged, building over the years from the top 10 of the 1991 Village Voice Pazz & Jop national critics poll to becoming a constant presence in the likes of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album's impact and relevance continue to grow—as proven by one indisputable fact: The Black Album remains unchallenged as the best-selling albumin the history of Nielsen Soundscan, outselling every release in every genre over the past 30 years.
To commemorate its 30th anniversary, the GRAMMY-winning, 16x platinum-certified Black Album is receiving its definitive re-release. Remastered for ultimate sound quality, the Black Album remaster will be available in multiple configurations including 180 gram Double Vinyl LP, Standard CD and 3 CD Expanded Edition, digital, and Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set (containing the album remastered on 180G 2LP, a picture disc, three live LPs, 14 CDs (containing rough mixes, demos, interviews, live shows), 6 DVDs (containing outtakes, behind the scenes, official videos, live shows), a 120-page hardcover book, four tour laminates, three lithos, three guitar picks, a Metallica lanyard, a folder with lyric sheets, and a download card).
Much more than a mere tribute album, The Metallica Blacklist celebrates the enduring influence of this musical milestone with one of the most ambitious projects ever conceived by the Metallica team: An unprecedented 50+ artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favorite Black Album cut.
The Metallica Blacklist offers up new dimensions of the record whose gravitational pull first drew the mainstream to Metallica—and provides new insights into the universal and timeless appeal that kept it there: the boundary-smashing influence these 12 songs have had on fans and musicians of all stripes. The Metallica Blacklist's 53 tracks find singer-songwriters, country artists, electronic and hip hop artists sharing their love of these songs alongside punk rockers, indie darlings, icons of rock, metal, world music and many, many more… and for 50+ good causes: Profits will be divided evenly between charities of the artist's choice and Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation.
The Metallica Blacklist is a fitting and limitless homage, one that features bands who've shared stages with Metallica alongside artists who are younger than the original album. It's a truly staggering, at times mystifying assemblage of musicians, dozens of whom have little to nothing in common other than the shared passion for the music that's united them for this album: 1 Album. 12 Songs. 53 Artists. Unlimited Possibilities.
The Metallica Blacklist will be available digitally on September 10th, with physical formats to follow on October 1st including 4 CDs and a limited edition 7 LP vinyl pressing. Pre-orders will instantly receive multi-platinum selling recording artist, songwriter, philanthropist, and trailblazer Miley Cyrus' version of 'Nothing Else Matters' featuring WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo, Vishal Dadlani, Divine and Chad Smith, and Latin music superstar Juanes' interpretation of 'Enter Sandman'.
All profits from The Metallica Blacklist will be split evenly between the All Within My Hands Foundation and 50+ charities chosen by the artists who play on the album. All Within My Hands was founded by the band in 2017 as a way for the entire Metallica family to give back to communities that have supported the band by supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.

KWASU expels 87 students for alleged robbery, others
By Adekunle Jimoh, Ilorin On Dec 6, 2021
Kwara State University (KWASU) has said it has expelled no than 87 students for alleged antisocial behaviour in the last two seasons.
The institution added that the students were expelled for alleged involvement in examination malpractices, drug abuse, internet fraud, robbery and others.
KWASU Vice-Chancellor Prof Mohammed Akanbi (SAN) told reporters in Malete Moro local government areas ahead of this weekend hybrid combined convocation ceremonies of the institution.
Akanb said: "Kwara State University has zero-tolerance for indiscipline and misconduct. All cases of indiscipline are investigated and appropriate punitive measures as retaken against students found guilty of such offence. This is to ensure that the few bad eggs among students do no contaminate the decent ones.
"Between 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic sessions a total of 87 students were expelled from the university. Their expulsion followed investigation and establishment of their guilt by the Students Disciplinary Committee."

Akanbi urged the Federal Government and National Universities Commission (NUC) to formulate policies that make it mandatory for all students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria to live on campus.
"Students are also vulnerably exposed to antisocial influences which are inimical to their health and academic career.
Exposure to negative influence outside the university campus is majorly responsible for the involvement of some students in internet fraud, substance abuse and other untoward crimes.
"My administration is working very hard to reverse this trend. Accommodation a greater percentage of our students in the university campus is one of the ways we envisage will solve the challenge," he said.
The university don also alleged that some commercial transporters "are serving as couriers for the sale and distribution of illicit drugs on the campus."
On the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 convocation ceremonies, the professor of business law said that "in total, we are graduating 6,620 students at this convocation, 3,864 for the 2019/2020 session and 2,756 for the 2020/2021 session.
"In addition, we are graduating 321 students for higher degrees in the 2019/2020 session and 96 in the 2020/2021 session. Among our first degree graduands, 96 made first class," he said.

The Plum Tree (Paperback)
By Ellen Marie Wiseman
Kensington, 9781496730022, 400pp.
Digital Audiobook (4/28/2013)
Library Binding, Large Print (5/1/2013)
A deeply moving and masterfully written story of human resilience and enduring love, The Plum Tree follows a young German woman through the chaos of World War II and its aftermath.
"Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bölz receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through music, books—and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for.
Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job—and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive—and finally, to speak out.
"Wiseman eschews the genre's usual military conflicts of daily life during wartime, lending an intimate and compelling poignancy to this intriguing debut."
"Ellen Marie Wiseman weaves a story of intrigue, terror, and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels."

Polar Bear Swim at Camp- Brrr!
One of the most common memories shared with us from our former campers is their recollections of Polar bear swim in the chilly lake at camp. Campers would get up at the rising bell, and with their counselors would run down to the lake for a quick dip. What a refreshing way to start the day!!
We found a great write up about Polar Bear in our Rockbrook Memories Book. Jerkey, a much beloved Rockbrook director would lead the girls in their morning plunge.

From sunrise to well after sunset, downtown San Diego witnessed a steady stream of concrete mixers to the state's largest courthouse replacement project, where 6,800 cubic yards of concrete was delivered. And we captured it all on camera.
Check out our timelapse video of this project milestone.


Many thanks to Dink's Finance for finding this article at "The Moderate Voice" by Joe Gandelman. Mr Gandelman has taken a CNN video about unsellable foreclosed properties and included additional U.S. wide news from areas such as Iowa, New York, Michigan and Indiana.
* In Saginaw, Michigan, the city had 800 homes on its demo list two years ago and an annual budget to raze 200 per year.
* Foreclosures in Queens, NY, are leaving behind abandoned homes that become havens for crime. The only Queens areas where crime rose between 2006 and 2008 had high foreclosure rates. Yet crime dipped in all eight low-foreclosure areas, including Astoria, Flushing and Forest Hills.

Q: Find ${\partial z\over \partial x}$ and ${\partial z \over \partial y}$ for $xy + yz = xz$ I'm currently learning how to use partial differentiation. Can someone give me a hint?
find  ${\partial z\over \partial x}$ and ${\partial z \over \partial y}$ for $xy + yz = xz$

A: Assuming that $x$ and $y$ are independent variables, differentiating both sides with respect to $x$ using product rule, we get,
\begin{equation*}
y+y\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = z+x\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}
\end{equation*}
Solving this we get the desired result for $\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}$. Similarly for $y$.
You can also check that answer obtained this way is correct answer by explicit differentiation:
\begin{align}
&z=\dfrac{xy}{x-y}\\
\implies &\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = -\dfrac{y^2}{(x-y)^2}
\end{align}
And answer obtained above is
\begin{equation}
\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = \dfrac{y-z}{x-y}
\end{equation}
Substituting $z=\dfrac{xy}{x-y}$ in above equation, we get,
\begin{equation}
\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x} = -\dfrac{y^2}{(x-y)^2}
\end{equation}

A: $\def\p#1#2{\frac{\partial #1}{\partial #2}}$Calculate
the differential of the entire equation
$$\eqalign{
0 &= d(xy + yz - xz) \\
  &= d(xy) + d(yz) - d(xz) \\
  &= (x\,dy + y\,dx) + (y\,dz + z\,dy) - (x\,dz + z\,dx) \\
(x-y)\,dz &= (y-z)\,dx + (x+z)\,dy \\
}$$
Holding $x$ constant (i.e. setting $\,dx=0$) yields
$$\eqalign{
(x-y)\,dz  &= (x+z)\,dy \quad\implies\quad  \p{z}{y} = \frac{x+z}{x-y} \\
}$$
While holding $y$ constant ($dy=0$) yields
$$\eqalign{
(x-y)\,dz  &= (y-z)\,dx \quad\implies\quad  \p{z}{x} = \frac{y-z}{x-y} \\
}$$

Building Rapport – Helping the Helpless
Last time, I talked about using the Power of "Because" when directing users to a support page.
Unfortunately, the Power of "Because" isn't always enough. For some users, it's not that they think we're blowing them off. It's that they just can't handle support pages. Maybe they feel overwhelmed by the perceived wall of information. Or maybe they're just the type of person who needs to be walked through a complex process.
In the teaching profession, we called kids like this "helpless handraisers," and we get these types of users every now and then. This is the person who refuses to read the instructions for whatever reason, and instead wants us to regurgitate each step to them, or just make all the changes for them.
Of course, in a perfect world with unlimited time and resources, we're happy to do everything for them in the name of engineering happiness. But the reality is, helpless handraisers are a huge time suck, and the attention they demand isn't fair to the other users we may end up neglecting in the process.
So how do we deal with these neediest of the needy users?
First off, the goal to keep in mind when helping these helpless users is this:
Help them without doing everything for them.
And the way we do that is like so:
Use the support page as a reference as we're helping them.
For instance, we might start a chat with something like this:
"Have you had a chance to read through the support page on custom menus? Can you tell me which step you're getting stuck on?"
And if they continue to waffle on it:
"I'm happy to walk you through the steps, but it will help me to know what you've already done up to this point."
In asking this, we're also nudging the user to explain what they've already done, which will help us figure out where exactly they're getting stuck. And once we figure that out, we continue to use the support page as a reference as we help them through the steps:
"Great! I see you've created and named your menu. Now, let's move on to step 2. Do you see where it's telling you to click?"
"Awesome, go through that, and let me know how it goes!"
In these examples, notice that I never tell the user what to do. I'm just guiding them through the steps. The user is still getting the instructions from the support page, and I'm basically just acting as a cheerleader here.
Admittedly, this technique can sometimes feel less efficient than just telling them what to do, since now we have to follow along on the support page as well. But ultimately, this is the only way to wean the helpless user and encourage them to use the support pages, while still being supportive ourselves.
If whatever they're trying to set up is particularly complicated, using the support page as a reference also allows us to better juggle simultaneous chats, as we can just pop back every minute or so to check up on their progress and move them to the next step.
And finally, we have to remember the Ikea Effect, the scientifically supported concept that the more effort you have to expend to build something, the more you end up appreciating it. As such, if we encourage our users to take ownership of their sites, and instead of making the changes they request for them, we show them how to make these changes themselves, they will love their site more in the long run.
Speaking from my own personal experience, I've also found that users are always grateful for my patience when I help them learn to do something for themselves, and I would argue that I ultimately engineer more happiness when I teach the user the process, rather than just do it for them.
To tl;dr all this then:
Before sending a needy user to the support page, give a quick explanation as to why the support page is better.
Continue to use the support page as a reference as we help them.
If we do this consistently as a team, the user will eventually realize that they should go to the support page first, and then hit us up if they get stuck.
This is how we can help the helpless users without doing everything for them, but still engineer happiness in the end.

On Tuesday, August 30, 2016, Starr King School for the Ministry held its 5th annual Symposium at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland. An tradition founded by former Provost Dr. Ibrahim Farajaje, Symposium is an annual gathering of our entire student body, faculty, staff, trustees, and community members. This "urban retreat" serves as a day of study, dialogue, food, art, music, community-building, service, and celebration of the Spirit of Life, as we cultivate multi-religious, counter-oppressive, just and sustainable communities. Symposium was convened by The Rev. Dr. Gabriella Lettini, SKSM Dean of Faculty.
This year's event, titled Our Songs Know Who We Are, featured a series of workshops by Our Honored Teacher Dr. Ysaye Barnwell. She is a commissioned composer, arranger, author, actress, professor, and former member of the African American female a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock. For almost thirty years, and across three continents, Dr. Barnwell has led the workshop Building a Vocal Community – Singing In the African American Tradition, which utilizes oral tradition, an African worldview and African American history, values, cultural and vocal traditions to build communities of song among singers and non-singers alike. In the year leading up to Symposium, she delivered a TED Talk, appeared in a UU World Article, and was selected by President Obama to serve on the National Council of the Arts. Her pedagogy is highly respected among musicians, educators, health workers, activists, organizers, and members of the corporate and non-profit sectors.
Following a community breakfast, Symposium began with an Opening Worship and Conferral of the Sacrae Theologiae Doctor Honorary Degree. Dr. Barnwell then led the group in a series of vocal workshops and discussions exploring the African American oral tradition, cultural responses to struggle, and the role of shared communal experience. Between moments of spirited song, audience members had opportunities to ask questions, share personal experiences, and discuss the historical, social, and political significance of songs like Amazing Grace, Wade in the Water, and the Star Spangled Banner. Before long Dr. Barnwell had the entire room singing polyrhythms and four-part harmonies.
Throughout the afternoon, participants took to the internet to share their experiences. The live tweets can be found under the hashtag #SKSMSymposium on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

La Supercopa de la Liga MX 2022, conocida como Supercopa de la Liga 2022, o simplemente Supercopa 2022, fue la I edición de la Supercopa de la Liga MX que enfrentó al equipo ganador del Campeón de Campeones 2021-22 de la Primera División de México con el ganador de la edición anterior del mismo título. Se trata de un torneo especial que únicamente será disputado cuando un equipo sea campeón de los dos torneos de la temporada del fútbol mexicano y por lo tanto sea acreedor al título de Campeón de Campeones de esa temporada.

Historia
Originalmente este partido fue planificado para disputarse como Campeón de Campeones 2021-22, sin embargo, este título fue adjudicado de forma automática al Atlas Fútbol Club tras ganar los dos torneos que conformaron la temporada del fútbol mexicano, por lo que en un principio se había eliminado la idea original de celebrar un partido en suelo estadounidense.

Aunque ya se había entregado el título original en disputa, la Liga MX debía celebrar un juego en Estados Unidos debido a los compromisos comerciales contraídos por la organización y en continuidad con la política de mantener juegos en ese país para estrechar lazos con el público residente en la Unión Americana, por ello se determinó disputar un partido entre el Atlas y el Club Deportivo Cruz Azul el cual en un principio se pactó como un encuentro de carácter amistoso.

El 9 de junio de 2022 la Liga MX anunció que el partido entre Atlas y Cruz Azul pasaría a tomar el carácter de partido oficial, por lo que el ganador del juego se hará acreedor al título de la Supercopa de la Liga MX. Además, la liga anunció que este título será jugado únicamente cuando existan un ganador automático del título de Campeón de Campeones, en caso contrario, se continuará celebrando el campeonato original como fue establecido.

Sistema de competición
La Supercopa de la Liga MX es un trofeo que únicamente se disputará en el caso de que un club se corone en los dos torneos de una misma temporada, por lo que será distinguido automáticamente como "Campeón de Campeones", posteriormente, ese equipo disputará la Supercopa de la Liga MX ante el ganador anterior del propio "Campeón de Campeones".

En caso de que en los dos torneos de una misma temporada se tengan vencedores distintos, el "Campeón de Campeones" se disputará en la manera habitual, es decir, a partido único.

El Club vencedor de la Supercopa de la Liga MX es aquel que en el partido anote el mayor número de goles. Si al término del tiempo reglamentario el partido está empatado, se procede a lanzar tiros penales, hasta que resulte un vencedor.
