Les Relais mondiaux de la World Athletics 2021 se déroulent le 1 et  à Chorzów, en Pologne, au sein du stade de Silésie.

Calendrier
Le programme initial connaît quelques modifications en raison du manque de participants à certaines épreuves.

Critères de participation et de qualification
Chaque fédération participante peut inscrire une seule équipe de relais pour chaque épreuve, composée de huit athlètes maximum (sauf pour le relais 2 x 2 x 400 m, avec un total quatre athlètes maximum). Il existe des minima de participation pour les relais 4 x 100 m et 4 x 400 m, légèrement différents que ceux de la précédente édition. Ces temps de qualification devaient avoir été obtenus entre le  et le . Ces minima consentent la participation d'une vingtaine d'équipes et, pour compléter à 24 équipes, sont alors retenues les équipes les mieux classées sur la même période. La Pologne peut présenter des relais dans chaque épreuve.

Les minima, à réaliser entre janvier 2019 et avril 2021 (sauf pendant la période de gel des compétitions en 2020) sont les suivants:
 4 x 100 m : 38 s 80 (masculin) et 43 s 90 (féminin) ;
 4 x 400 m : 3 min 3 s 80 (masculin) et 3 min 31 s 50 (féminin).

Pour les relais 4 x 200 m et les relais mixtes, aucun minima n'est requis.

Les équipes finalistes des 5 épreuves olympiques (4 x 100 m et 4 x 400 m) de ces relais mondiaux sont automatiquement qualifiées pour les prochains Jeux olympiques de Tokyo, sauf si elles l'étaient déjà en vertu de leurs résultats lors des Championnats du monde 2019 à Doha. Les États-Unis, la Chine et la Grande-Bretagne, déjà qualifiées dans certaines épreuves, ont renoncé à participer à ces Relais mondiaux. D'autres pays comme la Jamaïque, l'Australie, l'Inde ou encore Trinité-et-Tobago ont également renoncé à s'inscrire ou à participer, soit pour des raisons logistiques, soit pour éviter une compétition dans un contexte lié à la pandémie du Covid-19.
Les équipes classées parmi les dix premières de chaque épreuve olympique (et 12 premières de l'épreuve du 4 x 400 m mixte) sont également qualifiées pour les Championnats du monde 2022 à Eugene.

Jiji raises $21 million as competition with OList grows stiffer
Image credit: Techcrunch
Jiji, the Nigeria-based classifieds listing company, has raised $21 million Series C funding from six investors. The round was led by Knuru Capital, an Abu Dhabi-based venture capital fund that focuses on late-stage companies.
Founded in 2014 by Ukrainians Anton Wolyansky and Vladimir Mnogoletniy, Jiji is one of the biggest classifieds listing company in Africa. It operates several categories primarily designed to help people buy and sell items and services.
It is the biggest classifieds platform in Nigeria with over two million listings and millions of users. In April it acquired its biggest competitor, OLX, a Naspers-backed company for an undisclosed amount. That acquisition allowed it to expand to four other African countries namely Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda. Together, these five countries have a potential market size of 400 million people.
According to the company, the new raise will be used to increase engagement and acquire more customers to the platform. It also wants to develop better technology for listing categories. Importantly Jiji is hoping the new technology will match users with the right adverts, especially real estate adverts. Alongside vehicle sales and electronic sales, real estate is one of Jiji's biggest revenue stream and listing.
Now, in October, TechCabal wrote about the challenges of finding a house in Lagos. While there are a couple of real estate platforms, Jiji is an important platform for people seeking to rent. But the platform doesn't allow users to complete transactions online. So when people find a house on Jiji, they can't pay the rent online. This makes it easy for real estate agents in Nigeria to simply deceive people with images of good houses that are sometimes no longer on the market.
Jiji's cofounder, Mnogoletniy, says the platform has made a lot of efforts to control fake listings. "We were able to eliminate a high percentage of fraud listings and estimate fraud listings at less than 1%," he told TechCrunch. He said there have also been some conversations about adding other services like payments to their portfolio, although no concrete plans have been reached.
Nevertheless, Jiji's latest funding round comes at a time when the company is facing new competition from different directions. Its biggest competitors are online services that are providing specialised services for one of Jiji's categories.
For instance, Jiji operates categories for car sales and real estate. But Cars45, a Nigeria based platform, allows specialises in car sales and provides other services such as valuation and car verification. Cars45 is backed by Frontier Car Group (FCG), a company that recently raised $400 million.
Fibre, Spleet and Muster are all real estate platforms that help people to find good houses in different parts of Nigeria. These startups cut out the real estate agents and allow users to pay rents online and digitally manage their dealings with landlords.
With their specialised services, the existence of all four companies could cause Jiji to lose some users in the real estate and car sales category.
But Jiji's latest headache is not even these specialised services, it is from OList, a classifieds clone operated by Opera.
OList is still less than six months old but it is already positioning itself as a strong player in the Nigerian market. According to Opera, OList now boasts over one million listings and is growing aggressively thanks Opera's strong suite of services and market presence.
"OList has benefited a lot by having Opera browser traffic that's also why we actually are growing so fast in such a short time frame and growing," said Opera's Chief Operating Officer, Lin Song in Opera's third quarterly earnings call.
But the Norwegian company has deeper plans for OList. Lin says OList is "quite ambitious" and says "instead of doing a bit more high level, like a simple app initiative… I think it makes sense for companies like us to go even deeper in the transaction level, to be able to smoothen the whole transaction flow, to ease the user pain points, not just selling some simple ads."
So like Spleet, Muster and Fibre, OList has an eye on Nigeria's real estate market and wants to provide specialised services for this vertical.
The "Nigerian real estate market alone represents a $20 billion market annually, which however is both inefficient and fragmented, and we think we can play a key part there," Lin told investors in the call.
So for Jiji, Opera's OList is a challenger it has to be wary of. Mnogoletniy, Jiji's co-founder, has already dropped some subtle shades at its competitor.
"We've spent five years and raised $50 million to build Jiji to where it is today," he told TechCrunch. "It would take $50 to $100 million for these others to have a chance at building a similar business."
Backed by a new $21 million funding, Jiji appears to be posturing and asserting its lead. But Opera has an aggressive agenda for its verticals, it won't back down easily.

Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose yesterday signed a bill to regulate grazing, into law, with a warning that any herdsman caught with arms will face charges of terrorism.
The governor said the law would curtail activities of suspected herdsmen, who move about with firearms, unleashing terror on citizens.
According to the new law, any offender arrested and convicted is liable to six months' imprisonment without any option of fine.
Grazing activities in designated places would take place between 7 am and 6 pm daily in Ekiti State.
The governor vowed that his administration will enforce the law, noting that the law was not targeted at any particular group but to ensure that the state does not descend into anarchy and senseless bloodletting.
Fayose signed the bill into law, with traditional rulers, community leaders and interest groups present.
He promised to convoke such a meeting once in three months to review the security situation and other issues affecting the state.
The governor earlier meet with the monarchs and community leaders at the Osuntokun Lodge of the Government House before giving his assent to the law in the open.
He said the bill became expedient to prevent a recurrence of an attack by suspected herdsmen on Oke Ako in Ikole Local Government, where two people were killed and scores injured on May 20.
The governor noted that by working with rulers, he would get a feedback on those plundering state resources, such as trees, farmlands and others.
The provisions of the law was read to the audience by the House of Assembly Speaker, Kola Oluwawole, who said the government will collaborate with local councils to apportion lands for grazing in designated areas.
Protesters ask Fayose to resign!

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park, one of the most iconic blockbusters of the modern era. Having delivered state-of-the-art special effects with a team of technical wizards, everyone wanted to know how director Steven Spielberg was able to bring these extinct, larger than life creatures to back from the dead to make us believe in movie magic. Thankfully, a 49-minute documentary from 1995, narrated by James Earl Jones, goes behind the scenes to show us how it was accomplished.
For the biggest fans of Jurassic Park, there's not much new here. But even so, it's a fantastic time capsule that looks back at a time in filmmaking when it wasn't anywhere near as easy to conjure a creature on screen from scratch. This extensive behind the scenes documentary shows how they were created at a time when computer animation was nowhere near as sophisticated as it is today, and it features key interviews with Steven Spielberg and everyone else who made this movie possible.

In a shocking turn of events that neither the polls nor financial markets predicted, Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States of America after defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton. Flickr/Gage Skidmore His path to victory was an unprecedented one, grabbing crucial battleground states like Florida and Ohio before breaking through the "blue wall" of typically Democratic-leaning states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that were imperative for Clinton's success.
"I feel that President Trump will be a more practical individual than Candidate Trump, and that Congress will become more important in shaping policy than in previous years," Cushman & Wakefield senior managing director NY Tri-State Ken McCarthy tells Bisnow.
Trump's victory signifies a coming shift in global policies surrounding free trade, immigration and international finance promised on the campaign trail. The win has certainly dealt a shocking blow to global financial markets, with stock futures plunging election night. "World financial markets and the central banks in many nations are reeling with the prospect of having to deal with the president-elect, especially given some of the policy statements he made during the campaign," Yardi director of research and publications Jack Kern tells Bisnow.
Jack says he suspects volatile markets will calm as advisers to the White House rein in rhetoric from the race and propose more reasonable positions. "Trump for the most part will avoid controversy in his first 100 days if he can help it," he says.
US markets seemed to brush off the tumult Wednesday morning as stocks inched higher, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Dow added 63 points during early morning trading and the S&P 500 rose 0.2%, as did the Nasdaq Composite. "S&P and the Dow are both up, which is amazing," Matthew Cypher, Director of Steers Center for Global Real Estate at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business, tells Bisnow.
"It's just going to take some time to process. Uncertainty is not anybody's friend, real estate or not. Everybody thought the world was ending with Brexit, and I'm not sure this is much different in terms of shock value." Other experts also are likening the surprising win to Brexit. Britain's decision to leave the European Union in June was the first major political shock global economies faced this year, leaving European officials reeling and sending the British pound to a 31-year low.
Similar to the number of people surprised by Brexit's outcome, Trump supporters were consistently underestimated in the polls, and few foresaw his victory.
"Once again, just like after the EU referendum outcome, we are left with more questions," Colliers International London chief economist Walter Boettcher tells us. "How isolationist will the US become under Trump? Is the EU-US trade deal dead? How much will immigration controls be tightened? Will Trump try to make good on his various, bombastic policy ideas or was this all just hyperbole?
Time will tell, but do not look for any clear indicators until the end of the year—and even then, the likelihood is that his policies will only become clear after his first 100 days." Pixabay Although it's still too early to determine how a Trump presidency will impact global economies in the long term—as much of Trump's policies related to trade and lower taxes have yet to be clearly outlined—most real estate professionals are curious about the impact his win will have on the industry.
Matt tells us that if the economy continues its upward trajectory—with GDP up to 2.9% in Q3, the labor market nearing full capacity and healthy consumer spending—real estate should remain strong. "There's going to be a near-term pause to digest, but there's still a ton of capital in the system," Matthew tells us.
"I think everybody is going to sit tight for a while and see how this goes over the next couple of weeks. Anything beyond that at this point is speculation." Jack says the industry might be in for a few hits. "The first shock is that a real estate guy is now the president-elect. I don't think anyone ever believed that was possible or likely," Jack says, adding that the pace and intensity of CRE may slow as owners and investors wait to see what the new administration and still-Republican-controlled Congress propose.
VTS regional director Matt Giffune agrees, that anytime there's a national election CRE is impacted alongside the US economy. "From our perspective, commercial real estate owners and brokers are still weighing decisions to lease space and buy and sell buildings," Matt says. "As a result, this is when having access to real-time data becomes more critical than ever, as it enables players to make more informed decisions, faster."
As for the likeliness of a December interest rate hike amidst all of this economic volatility? Experts say it's a toss-up. "The Federal Reserve is now in a can't-win position where if they raise the rate in December it will be seen as trying to invoke policy before the new president takes office and has a chance to offer his views," Jack says. "[But] if they fail to raise rates, it will be seen as a political decision implying they are trying to curry favor with the new Trump administration."
Carl R. Zwerner chair of economic forecasting at Georgia State University Rajeev Dhawan is convinced a December rate hike will happen, pointing to the reaction of the 10-year bond market as an indicator. "The December hike is very much in the cards," Rajeev says. "The real issue is what after that? CRE valuations will fluctuate a lot in coming months as investor sentiment ebbs and flows, but barring a Fed rate hike trajectory in 2017 that is even steeper than their 2016 September dot chart, it should be fine."

It is the No. 1 barrier to entry for young, would-be homebuyers: credit. Millennial's are the first generation to come of age in a post-almost-apocalyptic housing market, where lenders, eight years later, are still paying billions in reparations for mortgage misconduct and outright fraud.
Millennial homebuyers are also paying a price.
"The mortgage industry is poised to experience a monumental shift as more millennial homebuyers begin to enter the market," said Joe Tyrrell, executive vice president of corporate strategy at Ellie Mae, a mortgage software and data company. "There are roughly 87 million would-be homebuyers in the millennial generation and 91 percent of them say they intend to own a home one day. Lenders must prepare today to meet their needs."
While Millennial's are waiting longer to get married and have children, factors that are the primary drivers of homeownership, the leading edge is now entering the housing market. Millennial's are even starting to move to the suburbs, and in fact, last year marked a turning point, where urban centers reached "peak millennial," according to a new study from Dowell Myers, a professor of urban planning and demography at the USC Price School of Public Policy.
"After more than a decade of growing concentration, we see that the millennial trend of increased downtown living has peaked out and is now beginning a decline," Myers wrote. "This is a dramatic human interest story with great implications for cities and real estate investments."
Single-family rentals in the suburbs are more popular and more abundant than ever before, but the majority of Millennial's say they do eventually want to buy. That means mortgages.
More than one-third of home loans made to Millennial's since 2014 were Federal Housing Administration loans insured by the federal government, according to Ellie Mae's new Millennial Tracker. This is far higher than the 22 percent overall share that FHA commands in total mortgage volume today. FHA allows borrowers to make just a 3.5 percent down payment, which is attractive to younger buyers who are cash-strapped to begin with, but additionally burdened by a sky-high rental market.
FHA, however, comes with a price: mortgage insurance premiums.
The additional cost, on top of higher credit score requirements, continues to sideline young buyers. While household formation is growing, only one-third of those new households are owner-occupants. The rest are renters, which is why the homeownership rate in the U.S. is falling again, now down to 63.5 percent, according to the U.S. Census, just one tick higher than its 50-year low.
"The more the homeownership level drops, the more attention there will be to the question of whether government policy changes implemented in the wake of the financial crisis are keeping people from buying homes," Jaret Seiberg of Guggenheim Securities wrote in a note last week. "Our view is that government policies are keeping credit conditions unnecessarily tight. So this attention could be a positive in getting regulators to reassess whether they have properly balanced consumer protection and homeownership opportunity."
Seiberg points specifically to continued pressure from the Justice Department on loan originators, but given that the DOJ is unlikely to back off, he suggests FHA further cut premiums in the fall.
"This could mean eliminating life-of-loan coverage, reducing the upfront premium or cutting the annual premium. That might convince more borrowers to seek FHA loans," Seiberg added.
Mortgage interest rates are still near historic lows, but home prices are rising far faster than incomes, negating much of the savings from these low rates. The 0.35 percentage point drop in interest rates since the start of 2016 would have saved the average homebuyer $44 per month, but home price increases have cut that to just $18 a month nationally and even more in major cities, according to Black Knight Financial Services.
The highest percentage of closed home loans for millennials are far and away in the Midwest, where home prices are lowest, according to the Ellie Mae tracker. The average FICO score for female loan applicants in March was 724 and for men, 727, both much higher than the national average credit score.

DENVER—There seems to be no downside to the Denver retail market–and that includes the suburbs as well as the CBD, where the famed LoDo district is, in the words of Jeff Hallberg, exploding. Of course, the headline continues to be the way the marijuana market is changing the face of local retail, a potential bellwether of what other cities will be like if and when pot is legalized in all 50 states.
Hallberg, a principal in the local office of Lee & Associates, says that the pot market "is an ever growing piece of the local retail pie. The nice thing for landlords is that they pay really well. You can probably get 15 or 20%–even 30%–more in rent than for a traditional retailer because the tenant will pay for location." In fact, he tells of one client for whom he found space that would ordinarily go for "$16 a foot. For marijuana it was $40."
But it should be noted that, in a classic good-for-goose-and-gander scenario, the shops do pay out, and Hallberg tells of one 1,000-foot store that produced $500,000 a month in revenues.
In large part the rents are driven by the premium for space. Restrictions in place limit where the shops can go, including their proximity to schools, rehab centers and liquor stores. By the way, they also have to close by 7pm, at least in Denver.
And there are potential traps for the landlord as well. For a lot of them "the main issue is refinancing," he says. "Will a traditional lender finance that use?"
Of course, the marijuana business, newsworthy though it clearly is, remains only a segment of the macro-hot Denver retail scene–one that shows no signs of cooling, despite talk of market peaks. "In Denver, we're a bit different than most other metro areas in that we haven't overbuilt," he says, clearly a lesson learned during the heady days leading up to the last economic dump.
"Over the past four years, there's been about six million square feet of new retail space delivered." That compares favorably–very favorably–to the 5.7 million delivered in 2007 alone. "We've been working hard not to overbuild," which shows in the Denver MSA's 5.6% vacancy rate.
And it shows in the rental rates, which he pegs around $30 a foot on average, with new product leasing space in and around $50 a foot NNN in the above-mentioned LoDo, RiNo (Lower Downtown and River North) and Central Platte Valley submarkets, all awash in gentrification and reflecting the fitness-center, Trade Joe's, Fresh Market tastes of the millennials flocking in.
That compares to the mid-$20s that, depending on the anchor, suburban spaces are getting. But the Mile-High City is different here too, as Hallberg explains and, unlike other MSAs, the Denver suburbs have a secret–the ever expanding light rail. In fact, the metro's Regional Transportation District in late April completed a leg connecting Denver International Airport with downtown's Union Station with multiple suburban stops.
"Since we started with light rail throughout Colorado," he tells GlobeSt.com, "transit-oriented developments have been thriving, especially because ridership is so high." Not only commuters but developers as well are flocking to those high-use stops, "gentrifying the suburbs as well."
Again, the rental rates tell the tale, and Hallberg reports that those high-density suburbs break the out-of-town mold with rents approaching downtown's $30 a foot.
Clearly, Denver is firing on all cylinders, and redefining the market as it goes. Not surprisingly then, Hallberg is optimistic.
"Interest rates are always a wild card," he says. "But Denver is one of the most sought-after living destinations in the country. If we continue to manage our development we will weather whatever comes next year better than most other metro economies."

Joel Pavelski, 27, isn't the first person who has lied to his boss to scam some time off work.
But inventing a friend's funeral, when in fact he was building a treehouse — then blogging and tweeting about it to be sure everyone at the office noticed? That feels new.
Such was a recent management challenge at Mic, a five-year-old website in New York that is vying to become a leading news source created by and for millennials. Recent headlines include "Don't Ban Muslims, Ban Hoverboards" and "When Men Draw Vaginas."
"There's 80 million millennials; we focus on the 40 that went to college," said Chris Altchek, Mic's 28-year-old chief executive.
But he is still working out how to manage many of the traits associated with his fellow millennials: a sense of entitlement, a tendency to overshare on social media, and frankness verging on insubordination.
Mic's staff of 106 looks a lot like its target demographic: trim 20-somethings, with beards on the men and cute outfits on the women, who end every sentence with an exclamation point and use the word "literally" a lot.
Their crowded newsroom on Hudson Street has an aggressively playful vibe, like a middle-school fraternity house. Some ride hoverboards into the kitchen for the free snacks. Others wield Nerf dart guns or use a megaphone for ad hoc announcements. Dino, a white Maltese terrier owned by the lead designer, snuffles between desks.
Mr. Altchek is proud of the freewheeling office culture. "It helps us to have everyone speak out and best ideas rise to the top," he said. "What that can feel like or sound like is rudeness. But I'd rather have a lot of people speaking their minds than a very controlled environment."
But running an office made up exclusively of millennials, it turns out, is not without its snags. His philosophy was tested when Mr. Pavelski, Mic's director of programming, requested a week off, ostensibly to attend a wake back home in Wisconsin. "I went to talk to Joel and said, 'So sorry about your loss, take as much time as you need,'" Mr. Altchek said.
Then, several days later, he noticed Mr. Pavelski tweet a link to Medium, a popular blog for cathartic, personal essays. In a post titled, "How to Lose Your Mind and Build a Treehouse," Mr. Pavelski wrote about feeling burned out at work and wanting to rebuild a childhood treehouse as therapy. The first line read, "I said that I was leaving town for a funeral, but I lied."
"I was sort of taken aback," Mr. Altchek said. "It's not acceptable to be lied to."
In a disciplinary meeting the next day, Mr. Pavelski's supervisor acknowledged that he had been working grueling hours, so he was given another chance. Still, Mr. Altchek wanted to send a message. "Our feedback to him was, 'This is not a three-strike policy, it's a two-strike policy,'" he said.
Mr. Pavelski is still on his first strike. But even in an office that is tolerant of youthful boundary pushing, some millennial behavior can cross the line.
Mr. Altchek recalled a companywide meeting last September that coincided with the religious holidays Yom Kippur and Eid al-Adha. An Anglo-Pakistani employee asked why management had announced a flexible time off policy for the Jewish holiday, but not for its Muslim counterpart.
"So I told her, 'Great point, being inclusive and respectful of all religious affiliations is incredibly important to Mic,'" Mr. Altchek said.
Afterward, in front of a smaller group, he was approached by a younger, entry-level employee who said that there were two words missing from his reply. "I was a bit confused and said, 'O.K., what were those?'" he recalled. "And she said: 'I'm sorry. I didn't hear an apology.'"
Mr. Altchek did not think such a comment belonged in a workplace, especially his.
"I was a little taken aback by the tone, but I told her I would address it and make sure the person who asked the question wasn't offended by the answer," he said. "You have to control your temper. It was in front of a bunch of people, which was probably better, because I was forced to be calm."
That employee is no longer with the company. (Mr. Altchek said she was let go for "performance-related issues.")
A sense of entitlement is not the only stereotype attached to millennials in the workplace.
"Entitled, lazy, narcissistic and addicted to social media," according to CNBC. "They Don't Need Trophies but They Want Reinforcement," Forbes wrote. "Many millennials want to make the world a better place, and the future of work lies in inspiring them," Fast Company proclaimed.

Older managers confused by why millennials like to Snapchat with co-workers, or don't want to pay their dues with grunt work, had better get used to it. Last year, millennials edged out Generation X (35 to 50 years old in 2015) as the largest share of the labor force, according to the Pew Research Center. What's more, millennials have also surpassed baby boomers.
Joan Kuhl, 36, who founded Why Millennials Matter, a consulting firm that advises employers like Goldman Sachs on hiring and retaining recent college graduates, said that what is needed is more familiarity.
"We tend to publicize these outrageous acts of defiance, versus emphasizing the majority that I run into and work with, who are very mission focused and value based," she said.
Ms. Kuhl educates her clients on the quirks of millennials, and why a 21-year-old sees nothing wrong with oversharing. Millennials are pushed to create a "strong personal brand" to land a job, Ms. Kuhl said, so asking them to tone it down once they are employed sends "a lot of mixed messages."
Still, even Ms. Kuhl has been taken aback by some of the millennials in her office. She remembered an intern who ate a tuna fish sandwich during a 10 a.m. meeting with very senior colleagues. When mildly rebuked afterward, the intern replied, "Well, you said to be myself, and I was hungry."
So imagine a workplace where all are in their 20s.
Mr. Altchek founded Mic in 2011 (then operating as PolicyMic) with Jake Horowitz, now 28, his former classmate from the Horace Mann School in New York.
Today, Mr. Horowitz reports from the field (such as the Syrian migrant crisis from the beaches of Greece, and interviewing President Obama in the White House), while Mr. Altchek runs the business out of a 15,000-square-foot converted warehouse in the Hudson Square neighborhood.
Millennial news has significant competition for eyeballs. According to the data provider comScore, Mic had about 19 million unique visitors in January, compared with 79.7 million for BuzzFeed, with five other competitors falling in between. (A Mic spokeswoman pointed out that rivals like Vice Media operate multiple branded sites that roll into their comScore number, whereas Mic relies on just one site.)
At Mic, part of the growth strategy is not just airing, but blaring, its business on social media.
Hence there are office conversations held on Twitter, and the blurring of personal and professional boundaries, such as when Mr. Altchek broadcast his dental examination on Periscope, a live streaming video app.
Indeed, several Mic staffers cited the "say anything" office culture as one of the things they loved most about working there.
"People are here from morning to night, and we don't want to leave," said Elizabeth Plank, 28, a high-energy reporter who lives in the East Village and hosted a video series called "Flip the Script," which seeks to challenge assumptions like, "What Happens When a Lady 'Manspreads.'"
Ms. Plank contrasted her freedoms at Mic to her previous job at a feminist nonprofit organization, which she regarded as exemplifying the outdated work practices of older people.
"We called people on phones and we — I don't know — we faxed people," Ms. Plank said, sounding exasperated. "And we had to mail things. And no one really took my opinion into consideration."
At Mic, she was able to dabble in different jobs and negotiate grandiose titles like "executive social editor." Often, she prefers the theater of tweeting back and forth with the editor she sits next to rather than speaking face to face.
"If you can be young at heart, I think it makes your personal, and not only your work life, better," added Ms. Plank, who left for Vox last month after two and a half years at Mic.
Mic apparently isn't a good fit for everyone. Madhulika Sikka, who left NPR last year to join Mic as executive editor, announced earlier this week that she was leaving the website, saying on Twitter that she was "ready to take on something new."
Perhaps because of this very culture of workplace-as-reality-show, Mr. Pavelski, the prevaricating treehouse builder, remains notably unchastened.
"Maybe this is because I'm young, but, like, I don't think that there is a lot about my personal life that I wouldn't want to incorporate into what I'm doing professionally," he said. "The reason I wrote that essay in the first place was about catharsis, and I wanted to walk through my thought process and figure out what was going on with me."
The logic of that may be more apparent to his age group.
"The one thing I don't want people to mistake is that we're serious about this," he added. "And that we're taking over. That is all."
Correction: March 19, 2016
An earlier version of this article omitted the news of the departure of Madhulika Sikka, which was announced after the article was edited but before it was published. An earlier version of this correction misspelled Ms. Sikka's given name.

The Bay Area is the most profitable place to buy a house, renovate it and then resell it quickly, making it the best region in the U.S. to "flip" a house, real estate tracking firm RealtyTrac said this week.
RealtyTrac analyzed sales deed data and automated valuation data and included any single-family home or condo flip from the second quarter, where a previous sale on the same property had occurred within the last 12 months.
It found that the markets most likely to make the highest profits were in the Bay Area, in Silicon Valley and in San Francisco/East Bay.
You can see the full ranking with locales and average gross flipping profits below, and the report here.
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara — $145,000
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward — $145,000
New York-Newark-Jersey City (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) — $120,000
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim — $115,000
Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura — $110,000
San Diego-Carlsbad — $102,500
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue (Washington) — $99,000
Urban Honolulu (Hawaii) — $96,346
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, (District Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia) — $96,000
Baltimore-Columbia-Towson (Maryland) — $91,542
Home Flipping Reached 10-Year High: Can You Say Froth?
Rising home prices are bringing more house flippers out of the woodwork, and that may be a sign of an overheating housing market. The number of active home flippers last year was the highest in nearly a decade, and it is only growing.
Nearly 180,000 family homes and condos were flipped in 2015, according to RealtyTrac. A flip is defined as a home that is bought and sold again within the same 12 months. Flips made up 5.5 percent of all sales last year, and that is the first increase in the flip share after four years of shrinking. Flipping increased in 75 percent of U.S. markets, and the profits are growing as well.
"As confidence in the housing recovery spreads, more real estate investors and would-be real estate investors are hopping on the home flipping bandwagon," said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at RealtyTrac. "Not only is the share of home flips on the rise again, but we also see the flipping trend trickling down to smaller investors who are completing fewer flips per year."
Jim Pinson works with investors to flip houses on the south side of Chicago and does two or three flips of his own each year in the Oak Lawn area. Home prices in Chicago have not soared as much as in other parts of the nation, but there are still a lot of distressed homes available for sale, and plenty of investor demand.
"Oh my God, there are multiple offers on almost every decent margin profit house that pops on the market," said Pinson.
The concern now is that prices are rising too fast, not because buyers can afford to pay more but because of extremely short supply of homes for sale, especially on the lower end of the market. Home prices in January were 6.9 percent higher than the January 2015, according to CoreLogic, a higher annual gain than in December. Home flipping can push prices artificially higher, especially in markets with the tightest inventory.
"When home flipping numbers go up, it is usually an indication that the housing market is in trouble," said Matthew Gardner, chief economist at Windermere Real Estate in Seattle, who was quoted in the RealtyTrac report.
That was the case during the housing boom in the mid-2000s, but at that time flippers were putting next to no money into their investments, instead using cheap credit. That credit no longer exists. They have to put significant money into their flips, even when using investor loans.
"More inexperienced home flippers with a smaller financial cushion could be a sign of an over-speculative market, but the data indicate that flippers in 2015 continued to operate within relatively conservative margins," said Blomquist. "Homes flipped in 2015 were on average purchased at a 26 percent discount below estimated market value and resold by the flipper at a 5 percent premium above estimated market value."
Still, affordability for that end-user, the owner occupant looking to buy perhaps a first home, is weakening. First-time home buyers are still a much lower share of home buyers today than they are historically. The risk of another home price bubble could push them even further away.
As home prices rise, even in Chicago, investors have to put more money down and put money into renovating the homes, which are often in severe disrepair. Investors have to be careful to make sure they're buying the right house in the right place, otherwise they won't find buyers ready to move in.
"Demand is block by block, and you'll have people running out and making offers, but it depends on what block you're in," added Pinson.
Just after the housing crash, large institutional investors moved in and bought thousands of distressed properties and turned the vast majority of them into rental homes. They are now buying fewer homes, leaving the field open for smaller investors who would rather flip than hold the homes. The total number of investors who completed at least one flip in 2015 was at the highest level since 2007, and the number of flips per investor was at the lowest level since 2008, according to RealtyTrac.
Flippers are watching home prices rise, and in turn seeing returns rise. Homes flipped in 2015 yielded an average gross profit of $55,000 nationwide, the highest for flips nationally since 2005, according to RealtyTrac. The return on investment was close to 46 percent, up from 44 percent in 2014 and up from 35 percent in 2005. 2005 was when flipping was rampant, thanks to super easy credit. Back then, over 8 percent of all sales were flips.
Today flippers are seeing the best returns in Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and New Haven, Connecticut. The biggest dollar returns are in California and New York, but investors there must put bigger dollars down for those flips.
TRAVEL TIPS – 7 Secret Passenger Rights
Posted: February 29, 2016 in Uncategorized
By Chelsea Bengier
We already feel like airlines are screwing us enough. Add long delays, overbooked flights, lost bags, and it turns into hell on the runway. But there's a silver-lining, if you know what to ask for. Here are seven ways to get even.
Get refunded for bumping
It's hard not to freak out when you're bumped off an oversold flight. But remember this: you can get paid back. According to the Department of Transportation, if you get to your destination between one and two hours of your original arrival time on a domestic flight, or between one and four hours on an international trip, the airline owes you 200 percent of the one-way fare (up to $675). If you arrive more than four hours later than planned, you'll pocket 400 percent of the ticket (up to $1,350). Still can't believe it? An AirHelp study found that the average payout is $643.
Opt out of a tarmac delay
So you're stuck on the runway, forced to watch Taken for the fifth time as the hours tick by. (No offense, Liam.) Lucky for you, you can't be held on a delayed plane for more than three hours on domestic flights or four hours on international routes (if you don't want to be at least). Airlines are also obligated to update passengers every 30 minutes, and serve food and water after a two-hour wait. Pass the pretzels.
Ask for cash not vouchers
Don't let an airline ever give you a voucher for a bumped flight, or any other inconvenience. Vouchers are like Monopoly money. They look good on paper, but they're not as useful in reality. Your best bet? Ask for cash or a check because credits almost always come with strings attached (i.e. blackout dates). So before you pass go, collect your $200 — in cash.
Cancel tickets for free
Got a bad case of buyer's remorse? Don't worry, most airlines allow you to cancel or change your ticket within 24 hours for a full refund. In fact, on some carriers (like Southwest) you can even change plans until right before takeoff at no charge. But there are some exceptions. Take American Airlines: You can hold a ticket up to 24 hours, but once you book, you're locked in. Also, keep in mind that third-party sites like Kayak or Expedia have their own set of rules too.
Pay-back for itinerary changes
When flights are delayed, rescheduled or canceled (ahem, winter storm Jonas), many passengers are forced to rearrange transportation. In situations like these, the airline must either cover all the expenses and fees to reroute you or give you a full refund — even if you bought a non-refundable ticket or were rebooked on a different carrier. So, if the only seat left on the next flight out is first-class, it's yours without costing a cent. More champagne, please.
Snag a hotel voucher
This will be the last time you'll ever have to sleep at the gate, or worse, on the terminal floor. Airlines are required to offer free accommodations if you're stuck overnight involuntarily. Just don't expect the Ritz. These hotel vouchers can be claimed at any time, meaning if you decide to stay with friends instead of a Holiday Inn, you are still entitled to the coupon. It's also worth asking if they'll cover meals as well.
Cash in for lost luggage
If your checked bag is lost, delayed or damaged, don't settle for the small $50 sum you're usually offered. Depending on how much your items were worth and how long your bags are MIA, you could be repaid up to $3,500 per passenger in liability for a domestic U.S. trip, and up to $1,675 on international flights. Hello, shopping spree.

SP5-13 Socioeconomic aspects associated to malaria in pregnancy in Colombia
Publication only
Neglected conditions
J G P Jiménez1,2,
S B Trujillo2,
F de la Hoz1

2Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
Background Income, education, work and access to prevention measures have been identified as socioeconomic aspects related to malaria. For groups at risk such as pregnant women these aspects are little known, particularly outside Africa. The objective of this study was to determine socioeconomic aspects of pregnant women associated to malaria in a Latinamerican region.
Methods A case-control study was conducted from April 2005 to December 2006 in unstable transmission malaria region. Case was pregnant who had positive thick blood smear for Plasmodium during antenatal care or delivery. Data were collected by physician using a structured questionnaire that enquired about education, employment and income, housing and basic services, social security and access to malaria prevention measures. Data were analysed using SPSS version 17.0.
Results 115 cases and 63 controls were interviewed. Income <1 USD per day, <3 years of school, marital status single, single-parent family, without social security and no bed-nets in house were not associated to malaria in pregnancy in bivariate analysis (p>0.05). Pregnant women who had a farmer as a family member (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.12 to 5.13), bodies of water around the house (OR 4.66, 95% CI 2.24 to 9.66), house roof made of palm tree leaves (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.16 to 5.15) were more likely to have had malaria in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion In rural areas of Colombia where poverty is very common quality of house and access to basic public services explain better social differences of pregnant women that are related with malaria frequency.

The Students
Herbert Flynn
Luke Skywalker, as a superhero.
"I know that no-one believes me, that they laugh about the things I've seen, but it has to be me. I'm the only one with the power to stop this."
Ability: Empathy - Empathetic Mimicry
Herbert comes from a family of supers, which is either exceptionally rare, or the first example of this happening. A student who, at first, seemed to have super speed but it was actually revealed to be a delayed reaction from his parent's powers, and he is in fact a mimic.
Associated Tropes:
All-Loving Hero: Herbert is caring and sensitive and wants to help everyone. Maybe a little arrogantly, he believes he is the only chance anyone has. He may be right.
Arch-Enemy: The Redeemer. Herbert is convinced that he is the only one that can stop him. He may be right, as no one else can fight against his time powers except for someone who can copy them (like, say, Herbert...)
Beat Them at Their Own Game: How he intends to fight the Redeemer.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: So badly to the point where he nearly died and then actually died trying to absorb Signe's (who was dead) injuries and then heal. He had to be brought back after a dodgy deal between Margarita and the Redeemer with Lucio's help. In fact, it almost consumes his life, the amount of time he puts into this.
Did Not Get the Girl: A straight example with Aurora, who ended up with Olem and perhaps Margarita, who is falling towards Taniel. It's sad; the guy tries his best but he always falls short.
Dogged Nice Guy: Always falls behind others by putting himself first and losing any girl he's interested in.
Gray Eyes: The amount of times he uses these to 'lock' onto people.
Nice Guys Finish Last: An almost comical example.
Dreaming of Things to Come: He absorbed the ability to see the future in dreams from his mother.
Future Badass: Maybe, hopefully. We can only guess.
How Do I Shot Web?: Herbert's arc is revolved around this even as the Redeemer approaches with an intent to destroy Olympus.
Jumped at the Call: He even jumped off a building to get at it!
Nice Guy: Herbert to a T!
Personality Powers: His power comes from his ability to emphasise with people.
Power Copying: More specifically, a Power Sponge, where copying abilities was his default power; Herbert just has to remember how that hero made him feel.
Shock and Awe: He gained the ability to control electricity from his father.
Superpower Lottery: Herbert can, eventually, access to all the powers of any other super he's ever met, making him take the most powerful card in the future. Currently, he can barely control his powers so this is somewhat inverted.
Super Strength: He gained this from Canary and has already used it on a few occasions without meaning to do so.
The Empath: And not in a lame way! Though it may appear like this at first, Herbert's abilities have the potential to be immense and all because he can connect with people like no-one else.
Too Powerful to Live: One day this is what he aspires to. As of now, it is unlikely because his power is so hard to access. He just gets lucky with what he plucks out.
Took a Level in Badass: Once he actually starts learning his powers, he's going to be one powerful guy!
Training from Hell: Nathan is currently trying to impose it on Herbert. He's failing.
What Kindof Lame Power Is Heart Anyway?: Originally how he views his powers when he believes them to consist of reading people's emotions only. Quite the comedown from superspeed.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: Herbert certainly has this attitude.
Unskilled, but Strong: Herbert has a multitude of powers and no idea how to use them or how to fight effectively.
Nathan Cloud
The real life Harry Potter invisibility cloak.
"I think you're f—ked in the head, Herbert. We're ten hours from the f—kin' powers and you wanna bail out. Well, I'll tell ya something. This is no longer training. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much f—kin' fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our god-damn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of your assholes! Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Ability: Absorption of colours, energy and other intangible things.
A old student studying for a History of Art degree who even admits that it's a joke, and he's really here for the student loan. Luckily, he knows a lot about Herbert's ability and actually can be quite helpful. Nathan has ties to Olympus, and knows a lot more than he really lets on.
Associated Tropes
Anti-Hero: Only because he's not exactly a hero. He used to be an Olympian though.
Deadpan Snarker: Nathan loves a snark!
Invisibility: His signature ability without a doubt. By manipulating colours around him, Nathan can create a chameleon effect, and so render himself invisible.
The Obi-Wan: Nathan is fulfilling this role towards Herbert, but given his drunken, sarcastic attitude, he's not actually the best role model. Won't stop him trying though.
Popcultural Osmosis: This is basically how Nathan lives his life, immersed in references to pop-culture (seeing the above paraphrasing of National Lampoon as one example!)
Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: What frequently happens to others when he speaks.
The Nicknamer: And he has many.
Aurora Ross
Ability: Injury Transferal, Enhanced Durability.
Love Redeems: Aurora manages to redeem Olem by turning him against the Redeemer, by revealing her growing feelings for him. So played straight.
The Heart: Aurora really does glue the group together and try and get them to stay good.
Lucio 'Bella' Bellatore
Lucio Bellatore
Ability: Rapid Cell Regeneration, Immortality, Healing Hands.
Agent Peacock: Lucio likes flower crowns, cute animals and is a championship-level dancer. He is also one of two people in the University group to have any military service and is a trained martial artist.
Berserk Button: It has yet to be pushed, but he doesn't take kindly to fascists or supporters of fascism, due to familial links that suffered greatly under the Fascist Tellasite government. To a lesser extent, being called Italian, although he mainly plays that for laughs.
Beware the Nice Ones: Lucio is very slow to anger and is willing to help and forgive anyone. He is also immortal, so if you do piss him off, then you're in trouble.
Bilingual Bonus: Lucio's last name, Bellatore, is a slightly modified form of the Latin word for warrior, bellator . His nickname that derives from it, Bella, is a double pun in itself: in Latin it is the plural of war and in Italian it means beautiful. His divine patron even acknowledges this, calling him "Warrior" whenever they talk.
Conlang: His native language, Tellasite, is in fact Interlingua .
Dancing Is Serious Business: Lucio has been dancing since a very early age, and comes from a culture where it is held in high regard. Thus he took mild offence when Aurora joking tried to buy a dance off him with a drink: his dancing cannot be bought by any one person, for it is for all to enjoy. Dancing is one of the few things that Lucio will commit himself to in an entirely serious manner.
Gold and White Are Divine: Lucio's superhero costume is primarily gold and white, and he claims to be a divinely-appointed champion. In turn, his patron is always seen in a simple white dress and gold laurel wreath.
Hope Bringer: As the physical embodiment of Hope, this goes without saying. Lucio fully intends to live up to this trope as an Olympus superhero, even choosing his name on that basis: Espereus is the old Tellasite word of Hope.
Immortal Life Is Cheap: How he now views himself. He is more than willing to sacrifice himself to save people, as he can return unharmed. In his own words: 'Someone has got to be an idiot, and it is best if that someone can come back from the dead, no?'
Let's Get Dangerous!: Unlike many other superheroes who focus on fighting injustice, Lucio cares more about healing and helping people. Forcing him to fight results in this, as his opponent who only saw a softie healer or incompetent Mediterranean fool gets their arse handed to them.
Light Is Good: Lucio wears bright colours and his healing powers create a soft golden glow. He is also a very friendly and optimistic person who is very firmly on the side of good. Lucio bleeds this trope.
Living Forever Is Awesome: Despite pledging himself to helping everyone he can, Lucio is also ecstatic about living forever, as it means that he literally has all the time in the world to do whatever he wants in the meantime. His highly optimistic nature is crucial in powering this mindset.
Obfuscating Stupidity: Lucio can speak four languages and is intelligent enough to get on a scholarship to a very good university, but he's content to let people think he's a bumbling, over-enthusiastic and well-meaning idiot. This is mainly due to laziness, as people are less likely to ask him to work if they doubt his intelligence.
Purple Eyes: Crossed with Supernatural Is Purple, Lucio's normally green eyes change to match his divine patron's purple at times. So far, it has only been noticed when he is being resurrected.
Resurrective Immortality: Upon dying, Lucio's soul travels to a small clearing in a wood, akin to Limbo, where he is offered the chance to 'pass on' to the afterlife or return to the world of the living, in the same body with the same powers. He has sworn to return until he is not needed. When his soul returns to his body, or what's left of it, it will rapidly and somewhat explosively regenerate to how it was before he was killed.
Raised by Grandparents: His parents died when the military helicopter they were piloting crashed in Lucio's infancy. His paternal grandparents, Giovanni and Rosa, took him on as their own and raised him, along with help from his paternal grandfather Mario.
Rousseau Was Right: His outlook on humanity is that all people are inherently good and are capable of redemption.
Signature Scent: No matter what, Lucio always smells of fresh flowers. The more he uses his powers, the stronger the smell becomes, and it intertwines with the scent of wine and sex. Most of the time, though, Lucio smells like he's been rolled down a mountain pasture in the middle of Spring.
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Do to his views on redeeming people, he believes that all his opponents are worthy of another chance. Thus, he is strongly against killing anyone, no matter how severe the crime.
Olem Tapas
Ability: Can create the symptoms of diseases in others.
Anti-Hero: Olem is grumpy and sour. Heck, it's genuinely uncertain if he actually is a hero... Leading to...
Anti-Villain: If he isn't a hero, he's a villain. The line is so blurry they basically overlap with Olem.
Being Evil Sucks: This is what Olem realised once he started falling in love with Aurora.
Good Is Not Nice: Olem in a nutshell, if he's good. He's sarcastic, rude and doesn't take anything from anyone. It's amazing he has friends!
Heel–Face Turn: This occurs when when Olem turns against the Redeemer, who until then, was his closest ally.
Reformed, but Not Tamed: Olem is just as much of a d—k as he was before.
Edwina 'Ed' Malone
Edwina Malone
Ability: Transformed into a huge dog; Enhanced Senses, Bite Force and Increased Speed.
Signe Vestergaard
Ability: Shapeshifting.
Alex Stone
Ability: Gravity Manipulation.
The Villains
The Redeemer of Men
He's one angry guy.
"Olympus is a lie. You can join me in my new world, or die in theirs,' he said softly. 'I will be their redeemer."
Ability: Space Time Manipulation and Energy Harnessing.
The main villain of the piece, shrouded in mystery with a tragic backstory which drives him to destroy Olympus, and will stop at nothing to end it's reign. This is not all that of bad thing considering Olympus is fairly decadent and imprisons any supers who use their powers, regardless of whether they were saving or hurting someone.
Anti-Villain: He is clearly evil and fanatic, but at the same time he is not all bad.
Affably Evil: This comes across with how he treats the students, and he tries to convert before he kills.
Arch-Enemy: Primarily Herbert Flynn. They fought once, with the Redeemer winning hands down, but ever since he's found out that he's alive, he has sent Reaper to watch Herbert and eventually kill him. (Using a rock as a handy analogy for crushing Herbert's head.)
To a lesser, but growing extent, Olem, after he betrayed the Redeemer. He gave him a brutal beatdown in retaliation and was only stopped by the intervention of Aurora.
Big Bad: He's the main villain for the story and a constant presence. It's all gearing up towards his master plans to destroy Olympus, and any in his way.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Any hero, or student, or Olympian (read: anyone!) is on the receiving end of one of these if they fight him. Of particular note are his fights (read: beatdowns) of Herbert, and then Olem and Aurora at the same time. Even Chris had to blow herself up to escape him.
Fallen Hero: Oh so much. Poor guy tried to be a hero, and was an Olympian, but after saving a woman as one of his first heroic acts, his family was killed and he was locked away for years until he could escape as a result. He is still reluctant to kill superhumans but he has veered too far off the morally grey, into the black.
Hero Killer: Ominously, this is true. And he isn't about to retire.
Jerkass Has a Point: He's a fanatic, but he is right about Olympus sometimes. He even sends Ed out to prove him right, using her own natural curiosity. Olympus have been trying to get rid of him for a while as a result.
