This past summer made sure genre fans would be panting by Fall's rise due to massive marketing and numerous trailers for the season's most anticipated shows. My interest doubled when my scrutiny paid off, as multiple networks reveal significant roles for Black women and women of color in genre television. I am thankful to witness what I can only hope will be a growing awareness in casting as sisters battle evil in many forms, or maybe in some cases, personify it.
The next step is to watch how their characters fit into the larger universe and the layers that are revealed, giving us thoughtful personalities with enough depth to keep us engaged. This is such a critical step here and unfortunately, it can at times get overlooked. Many were in a rightful tailspin of disappointment when season two of Sleepy Hollow lost much of its charm and screen time for the most beloved, main and ancillary characters. But it's back for redemption with a lot of company.
Amanda is described as "a disgraced Michigan state trooper set to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner." It seems like she'll be around for awhile and part of some serious gun slinging and bloody action that I won't spoil from the trailers or images. This beautiful, resourceful woman has a motivation and likely won't let Ash off the hook for any of his verbal shenanigans. It'll be fun to watch Amanda stretch her physical and emotional limits.
It's with hesitancy that my excitement twinkles for another Ryan Murphy series. While he's made outrageously entertaining programming, much of the content created raises a bushel of eyebrows in regards to race. Many times, certain characters play to the sassy Black woman fantasy of white writers. And it painfully shows. From what Palmer has told the press about Zayday, it seems she'll be sort of an "Auntie" with "that little Southern twang". Which kinda proves my point. My toes and eyes are crossed that she's much more than this.
Ryan Murphy is back with another American Horror Story installment, fast becoming an annual tradition of much anticipation and praying the entire season is solid. Freakshow was completely lost on me and I tapped out mid-season. But that's all in the past. While from my vantage, Hotel already reads like a mess of too many characters and plot webs, I still hold on to the possibility of tight writing and entertaining execution. Luckily, we can always look forward to inspiring performances from actresses like Bassett. This time around as Royale, a film starlet whose past and present with Lady Gaga's The Countess reads to be quite the tension-filled battle. Bassett has perfected the 'woman-at-odds' delivery so I'm ready for this, despite all trepidation.
Naomi is one of the new faces added to the mini-series playing a Vogue magazine editor that honestly sounds a lot like her actual public personae. This is where my pessimism seduces me because this reeks of stunt casting for the most superficial of reasons, which unsurprisingly is one tenet of my overall assessment of the television universe Murphy has built. In fairness, there's ample opportunity to build on atmosphere and suspense as a nice build up to whatever fate holds for Claudia. If you were to ask me word association for the photo, I cannot shake giallo.
Mazikeen, a.k.a. Maze is set to be the dark lord's bestie and lover. She's described as a 'fierce, beautiful demon' so I'm sold. The overall story, based from the DC comic Vertigo series finds the morning star apathetic to his supernatural responsibilities and trades it in for a lavish life in Los Angeles helping a police squad solve crimes. There are already some differences in TV character versus comic that had been revealed. No surprise there, so what else is in store for this slick serial?
I'll excuse the slight continuity error because the trailer looked so damn good. It reverences the original film, but seemingly ignores that Damien 'came to terms with his true destiny' as a teenager in Damien: Omen II (1978). It's kinda hard to beat that trilogy, but this modern spin feels fresher, especially with Echikunwoke's Simone, "a woman who grew up in the shadow of her overachieving sister whose life is thrown into turmoil when tragedy strikes, leading her to question her religious faith". I'm wondering if this is a means for Damien to infiltrate her fragile spiritual state for his own agenda. Or a romantic interest? Both and more, possibly. It's an element we really haven't seen in the films. Equally promising is the detailed description that implies they'll be much to learn about Ms. Baptiste.
"Let's just... see how season three pans out before pulling the plug, okay?"
When the 13th hour announcement came of a season three, I thought this could be a chance to bring back what worked in season one. However, more disdain was added to the wreckage when they passed us the 'Oh, and...' by moving its prime timeslot from Monday to Thursday. The problem is, it'll have to compete with the ABC's TGIT (Thank God It's Thursday), Shonda Rhimes' epic trilogy of serial television (Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder) which some have mumbled clearly in 140 characters or more that the masterminds behind this do not know their audience. With this bitter inconvenience, Sleepy Hollow will have to deliver to keep its viewership.
With no major distractions in Ichabod's way (his now deceased, secret wielding, witch crafty wife and scorned son turned evil minion), his rearview is clear, and the Abbie and Crane chronicles are back on track. Here's an idea: provide Abbie with a consistent arc that shows prominently how her role as a witness is one of leadership where Crane comes in with the assist. And vice versa! Abbie is not second to Crane and that's not the blueprint the show's success was built with. In Sleepy Hollow's short and wild history, we the audience have proven that they need not tinker too much with a great thing.
Michonne's incredible trajectory shows no signs of slowing down as she looks for stability and to build herself whole again. While she watches her friend Rick spiral, she's also the first to stay in his ear simply on the topic of "not losing it". Saying it'll be interesting to see where her character goes in season six is an understatement. I've been in defense of every single (power) move she's made since she decided to save Andrea in that murky forest.
I honestly believed Sasha would be another casualty last season. After losing Bob and Tyreese, I thought she had completely given up. My feelings got in the way and I really wasn't too happy about the way it ended with her, Maggie, and Father Gabriel but putting it into perspective, again this show is about maintaining your humanity in a world does not want for it. Her future looks much more ambiguous than the rest.
When Carol lost Sophia and took a back seat to the Maury-saga of Rick, Lori, and Shane, I just knew Carol would depart permanently. But now, she is the Trojan horse hiding in plain sight and bless her very being for it. Maybe this is Sasha's story in a familiar fashion.
Look for series recaps here on Graveyard Shift Sisters and how some of these new characters measure up in the coming weeks!

Can Tai Chi Relieve Arthritis Pain in Seniors?
Autumn is a season of the year where temperatures can fluctuate widely. As the thermometer rises and falls, so too does the barometric pressure. For older adults who have osteoarthritis, these ups and downs can translate to increased pain and swelling in damaged joints. This can seriously limit a senior's ability to carry on their normal daily routine. .
But research shows an ancient form of exercise called Tai Chi might offer hope to combat arthritis pain in seniors.
Scientists conducted a study of 200 adult participants living with osteoarthritis in their knees. The goal of the project was to determine if Tai Chi offered similar -- or even better -- results than traditional physical therapy for managing arthritis.
Over a 12 week period, participants were split up in to two groups.
Traditional Physical Therapy: One group of participants engaged in traditional physical therapy. Their regimens included two 30-minute sessions of one-on-one physical therapy each week for six weeks. That was followed by six weeks of home-based physical therapy that was monitored by staff.
The other group engaged in Tai Chi. They attended two 1-hour Tai Chi sessions each week for 12 weeks.
While both groups felt less pain at the end of the study, those who practiced Tai Chi enjoyed even greater health benefits. Most notably, Tai Chi improved participants' mental health and overall quality of life.
How can this seemingly slow moving form of exercise help people with arthritis manage their pain and symptoms? Like Chair Yoga, another form of exercise that helps older adults improve their overall health, Tai Chi nurtures the body, mind and spirit.
Greater Muscle Strength: Tai Chi builds muscle mass in the muscles that surround damaged joints. Improved muscle strength helps to relieve some of the pressure on the joint itself. This adds up to reduced swelling and pain.
Increased Flexibility: One of the challenges for people with arthritis pain is that it hurts to move damaged joints. But the inactivity that often results leads to stiffer joints which further inhibits mobility. The steady, gentle stretches that make up the practice of Tai Chi help to increase flexibility.
Improved Fitness: While Tai Chi looks to be a very mild form of exercise, it actually builds overall strength and fitness while teaching better breathing techniques. Older adults who practice it on a regular basis will find they have more energy and greater stamina. Both can help them stay active and avoid being sedentary. For seniors with arthritis, staying active is the best way to manage pain and symptoms.
At Vitality Senior Living, we empower seniors to live well at any age. One way we do that is by helping connect older adults with the resources they need to keep learning. By subscribing to our blog, you will receive the latest news and research on aging well delivered right to your inbox!

Do we have a good one for you today – the new Samsung Galaxy S8 takes on the Google Pixel XL, the new LG G6, and as an added bonus we will look at how the Apple iPhone 7 stands up to its Android competition. The other models have been out for a while, but the most anticipated device, the Samsung Galaxy S8, has just been announced and it is a perfect time to see what kind of job Samsung did to try to stay ahead of the competition. The Google Pixel XL is Google's first attempt at breaking away from their old Nexus moniker, and it was designed and built from the ground up as an entirely new device to be part of Google's ecosystem. The LG G6 is also a total revamp of LG's poor selling LG G5 – gone is the all-metal painted body, modular configuration, and in is an all-glass backing. The Apple iPhone 7 is an evolution of their previous iPhone 6S and offers the same all-metal body construction with internal improvements. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is also a brand new phone, and while it continues with its all-glass backing, it looks nothing like its processor – gone is the flat display, and now Samsung is using its dual curved display on all models with the tiniest of bezels. Let us take a look and see which one of these devices deserves your special attention.
When we get to this high-end of a smartphone, we are looking at designs that tend to use either all-metal or all-glass for outside materials. All of these devices look and feel like a premium device, although the Samsung Galaxy S8 would probably win for sexiest design and it comes bearing the most features.
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 is staying with an all-glass design, but the entire device looks completely different. It has a dual-curved display with very small bezels top and bottom, and gone is the home button on the front, and the fingerprint sensor is now located in the back, next to the camera. The display jumps from 5.1-inches to 5.8-inches, and it is one of the first devices to use the new Snapdragon 835 processor.
The Google Pixel XL, and its smaller brother, the Google Pixel, have a combination of polished glass and metal on the back, although the front is typical looking with a wide bezel across the top and bottom even though their fingerprint sensor is on the back. It has water splash resistance to it and a non-removable battery.
The new LG G6 went to an all-glass design this year, which added an IP68 certification and wireless charging but also did away with LG's trump card, a removable battery. The display increased as did the battery size. The dual primary cameras changed sizes on the LG G6, and the front-facing camera (FFC) got smaller.
The Apple iPhone 7 looks similar to its predecessor with only modest tweaking of certain areas. The antenna bands are now moved from the back to the edges for a cleaner look, and a dual camera was added to only the Plus model. Apple has done away with its physical home button, although it is still located where the home button was previously and is now a touch button. It is IP67 certified and still retains its non-removable battery.
The displays on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus are much larger than their predecessors are and now sport a 5.8-inch screen (up from 5.1-inch) and a 6.3-inch display (up from a 5.7-inch). Both displays use the dual-curved design, Super AMOLED technology, Quad HD resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels and 568 pixels-per-inch (PPI) on the Galaxy S8 with an 18:9 ratio. It keeps the always-on display, Gorilla Glass 5, and adds 3D Touch.
The display on the Google Pixel XL starts out with a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and 534 PPI. Google did not give the Pixels any special functions like always-on, and protection is from Gorilla Glass 4.
LG sticks with their IPS LCD technology, with the display measuring in at a larger 5.7-inches versus the 5.3-inch of the LG G5. It retains its Quad HD resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels and 564 PPI using an 18:9 (2-to-1 ratio). It uses the always-on technology, includes Dolby Vision, and Gorilla Glass 3 protects the display.
The display on the iPhone 7 is only 4.7-inches, and it uses an LED-backlit IPS LCD affair with an HD resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels and 326 pixels-per-inch (PPI), or as Apple likes to call it, Retina Display. It features Apple's 3D Touch from last year, Display Zoom, and Ion-strengthened glass.
This comparison has an array of processors that range from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 to the newer Snapdragon 835 to the Exynos 8895 to the A10 Fusion chip used in the only non-Android device, the Apple iPhone 7.
The US version of the Galaxy S8 uses the newest Snapdragon 835 octa-core clocked at 2.45GHz with an Adreno 540 GPU while the international version uses the Samsung Exynos 8895 processor. They both come with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 64GB/128GB of expandable memory.
The Google Pixel and Pixel XL both come with a Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor clocked at 2.15GHz with an Adreno 530 GPU. They both pack 4GB of DDR4 RAM and offer 32GB or 128GB of non-expandable memory. Qualcomm claims that the 821 gives a 10-percent increase in power when compared to the 820.
The LG G6 uses the Snapdragon 821 octa-core processor clocked at 2.35GHz and an Adreno 530 GPU along with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB/64GB of expandable storage.
The iPhone 7 uses Apple's new A10 Fusion quad-core chip clocked at 2.34GHz with 2GB of RAM and either 32GB, 128GB, or 256GB of non-expandable internal memory.
Smartphone cameras are nothing as they were in flip-phones – they are our go-to camera for any occasion – birthday parties, for a get-together, or even for something as important as a wedding. The front-facing cameras (FFC) have expanded our use of selfies and video chatting. The smartphone cameras have become so good that the old point-and-shoot cameras are a dying commodity.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 uses the same great camera found on the Galaxy S7 – a new Dual-Pixel 12MP primary camera with a large f/1.7 aperture, quick phase detection autofocus (PDAF), OIS, auto HDR and an LED flash. It uses a new and larger 8MP, f/1.7, 26mm wide-angle and auto HDR for its FFC.
The two new Google Pixel and Pixel XL both use the same 12.3MP sensor, f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, and a dual-tone flash as well as a large 8MP FFC with a f/2.4 and 1080p capabilities.
The LG G6 uses a dual setup for its primary camera and a change from last year when the LG G5 had a 16MP and an 8MP wide-angle lens. The new LG G6 uses two 13MP lenses, with PDAF, OIS and dual-tone LED flash. It uses a smaller 5MP with a f/2.2 aperture for its FFC.
The Apple iPhone 7 uses a new 12MP sensor with a f/2.2, PDAF, Quad-LED True Tone flash, and OIS for its primary camera and a 7MP FFC with the f/2.2.
All of the devices this time around are leaning toward the trend of a non-removable battery, including one of the last holdouts, LG. It is much easier for a manufacturer to give us IP68 water and dust protection and wireless charging with a non-removable battery. Now that most of the smartphones offer a quick charge option of some sort, the need to replace a battery, though nice, is becoming less of a necessity.
The Apple iPhone begins with the smallest battery at 1,960 mAh with no fast charge capabilities. The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a relatively small battery at 3,000 mAh but comes with Quick Charge as well as Quick Wireless Charging. The LG G6 packs in a 3,300 mAh battery with Quick Charge and Wireless Charging capabilities, while the Google Pixel XL also has the largest battery at 3,450 mAh battery with fast charge capabilities.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 measures 140.1 x 72.2 x 7.3 mm, is the only one of the group that has a dual curved edge display, and is the only device in the group that offers Samsung Pay as an option. The Galaxy S8 also has a heart rate and oxygen saturation sensor, iris scanner, always-on feature, 3D Touch, and a new rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Samsung even threw in some Hi-Res audio.
The Google Pixel XL measures 154.7 x 75.7 x 8.5 mm and weighs in at 168 grams. It comes running Android 7.1 Nougat right from the box. You will have a choice of Really Blue, Very Silver, or Quite Black. It comes with Google Assistant built into the device.
The LG G6 uses a dual setup for its primary camera – two 13MP lens with the second one being for wide-angle use. It now uses an 18:9 display ratio that is Dolby Vision certified and uses an always-on display to save battery life. It incorporates Hi-Res audio and includes wireless charging and Google Assistant. It measures 148.9 x 71.9 x 7.9 mm and weighs in at 163 grams.
The new Apple iPhone 7 comes with a few refinements – most of the good stuff is only on the iPhone 7 Plus. It has a new quad-LED flash, improved 3D Touch, improved stereo sound, IP67 dust and water resistance, and 2GB of RAM with non-expandable 32GB of memory now being the smallest option available. Starting the trend of removing the headphone jack, you will not find one on this iPhone, but Apple supplied a lightning adapter. It measures 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm and weighs in at 138 grams. Pricing starts out at $769 for the 32GB model. While it has NFC, it can only be used for Apple Pay.
This has been a quick comparison, looking at a few of the top smartphones available today. The Apple iPhone was thrown into the mix to see how it held up against some of best Android has to offer. There are no speed tests here, as both iOS and Android Nougat operate quickly and smoothly in everyday use. We compared only the design and features that these phones offer when compared to one another. The most striking difference between the iPhone and the Android devices has to be iOS versus Android 7.0 Nougat. The battle wages on, but after spending a day with both operating systems, most people will agree that the Android OS allows the user a lot more flexibility and power in its design and the ability to customize the display to look the way you want it to look, and the placement and use of widgets on the displays. iOS is a great OS if you want to follow Apple's more restrictive design, but for many of us, that is just not enough. We like to make our smartphone's our own personalized device and Android allows you to accomplish that goal.
The Google Pixel and Pixel XL were released in October 2016 and are the oldest of the Android smartphones compared. The LG G6 is just arriving on the scene, and the newest Samsung Galaxy S8 has just been announced as of this morning and has an expected arrival date of April 21st. Other than being the first smartphone to arrive with Google Assistant baked in, the Google Pixel XL is a solid smartphone but is expensive for the features you get. Although it is an AMOLED display, it is the smallest of the three, and there is no IP68 certification, no memory expansion, and no wireless charging. The LG G6 has a few more features and a larger display with Dolby Vision, albeit of the LCD variety. You do get an IP68 certification, the always-on display, memory expansion, dual cameras, Hi-Res audio, and wireless charging. The LG G6 does use the same Snapdragon 821 processor found in the Google Pixel XL, which means it is from 2016. The Samsung Galaxy S8 offers the largest dual-curved display, the newest Snapdragon 835 processor, IP68 certification, always-on display, 3D Touch, Hi-Res audio, an iris scanner, heart rate monitor, Oxygen Saturation sensor, quick wireless charging, and Samsung Pay.
All three of these flagship Android smartphones offer something a little bit different. The Google Pixel XL will get the fastest software updates and carries Google Assistant, while the LG G6 offers a larger, always-on display, dual cameras, wireless charging, and Google Assistant. The Samsung Galaxy S8 offers a dual curved display, the largest display with Super AMOLED and always-on feature, the best processor/GPU of the group, wireless charging, Samsung Pay, heart and oxygen sensors, and iris scanner. It is up to you to pick the features and the price you can afford - all three devices should satisfy your needs.


It's been a long time since I have written stuff regularly on this blog. But it doesn't mean nothing happened; far from that in fact!
For some strange reason, blogging is just like sport : the less you practice the less you want to get back in. Put some holidays in the middle and you quickly end up in a situation where your blog lies dead for weeks even though you have plenty of ideas of articles. And after some time, you don't even have ideas any more; which makes it even more difficult to get back on rails.
I don't know about you, but thinking about it I can often see a relation between the number of blog posts I write and the progress I make in my pet projects. Just like if blogging was some kind of motivator to work harder, or somehow linked to my productivity as a developer.
Blog posts are difficult for me to write. As a (bad) developer, I love to directly jump into the technical stuff. And I really have to force myself to take a step back and spend an hour or two writing about something I have already done. In the end, most of the blog post ideas I got end up in the trash bin and never get published.
And a notebook with a pen, in which I write everyday.
This habit has been here as long as I can remember. I know I have a really bad memory. I always had. So noting down stuff is the best way for me to cope with this brain full of holes. Those last years, I started also writing down everything that could piss me off. Things that would take me a long time to do while I could avoid it. Or things that I would see people do that I sound could be done better (at least in my opinion). Those are just dummy statements on my notebook, but I usually put them somewhere else afterwards and sometimes give more thoughts about it. And when I started reading Hacker News and LifeHacker a few months ago, I actually realized that some of these dummy ideas have actually been transformed into sustainable businesses by clever people.
So instead of writing them to myself, I think I will start putting them out on this blog. Let's not call them business ideas (most are likely not to be) but simply itch scratchers, or life facilitators :).
It will force me to develop those ideas a bit more, to make them understandable by everyone.
It will allow me to post on this blog without more work than usual, as I already write those for myself usually.
And who knows, maybe will someone fall in love with one these ideas and contact me to make it happen!.
So now, let's make this happen!
Let's scratch those itches! was published on April 17, 2013 by Julien Lengrand-Lambert.


Dr. Anil Parwani stood at a monitor, reviewing the pink and purple blotches — a magnified image of a patient's lymph-node biopsy.
The new technology at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital at Ohio State University allows physicians to scan the sliver from a glass microscope slide and transform it into a digital image.
That technological shift is a game changer for the pathologists who form diagnoses from biopsies, Parwani said. It means that these diagnoses are delivered faster and more accurately.

Jared Leto Channels The Joker to Accept MTV Movie Award Nomination
Jared Leto's performance at the Clown Prince of Crime in "Suicide Squad" may not have pleased all fans of The Joker, but it was enough to earned the Oscar winner an MTV Movie Award nomination this week for Best Villain. The actor responded in kind, with a tweet that delivers a new take on one of his lines from the Warner Bros. film.
RELATED: "Suicide Squad" Wins an Academy Award (Yes, Really)
In case you're wondering, the original line is, "Oh, that she is. The fire in my loins. The itch in my crotch. The one, the only, the infamous Harley Quinn!" But, hey, whatever works for the occasion.
Oh, the fire of my loins. The itch in my crotch. The one, the only, the infamous MTV Movie Awards - Thank you!!! - Joker ? #VoteJoker? https://t.co/yuil1LSDiB

Leto faces stiff competition in the Best Villain category from Allison Williams ("Get Out"), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("The Walking Dead"), Wes Bentley ("American Horror Story: Roanoke") and, perhaps worst of all, the Demogorgon ("Stranger Things").

CBT is a time-limited therapy and the number of sessions vary depending on the problem being addressed. A course of treatment is usually between five and twenty sessions dependant on severity/complexity, taking place once a week or fortnight and lasting between fifty minutes to an hour each time.
CBT is a partnership between you and the therapist. You are the expert on your symptoms and what you want to get from therapy, while the therapist has a scientifically proven expertise in techniques that aid change. The first step is to define what your hopes for therapy are and, with your therapist, identify and challenge the thoughts and behaviours that stop you achieving your goal for therapy. You will also be expected to do tasks between therapy sessions which will aid your progress towards your goals.
An initial pre-booked telephone consultation is free, just call or text to arrange one. I offer a discretionary rate to private individuals, who do not have health insurance, of £60 per session, payment in advance. Please bring cash to the beginning of the session as I do not have the ability to take card or cheque.

Visiting Commission President urges young people to get vaccinated
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged young people on Thursday to get vaccinated in the fight against the coronavirus, stressing that the vaccines are effective and protect against mutations.
She was speaking during a public discussion with President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades at the University of Cyprus. The two visited the university where the ceremony to deliver the approved evaluation of the Cyprus Recovery and Resilience Plan took place.
The two also paid a visit to "KIOS" Research and Innovation Centre of Excellence of the University of Cyprus, where von der Leyen talked to young researchers and was briefed about the pioneering research carried out at the Centre, on intelligent systems and networks. They also watched a short video where government ministers presented the projects of their ministries that are included in the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
During the debate, von der Leyen, asked how the EU would handle a fourth COVID-19 wave, said that Europe is prepared for such likelihood through its vaccination programmes. At the same time, she added, the vaccines are effective, according to clinical trials and protect from virus mutations. The Delta variant, she added, is easily transmissible, however the older population and the vulnerable groups have been, to a great extent, vaccinated with Cyprus achieving vaccinations beyond 65%.
However, she said personal hygiene rules have to be kept as well as use of mask and maintaining distance.
She also said that in the medium and long term the EU has a big contract with a vaccine company and a new vaccine may be developed for a new round of vaccines, if necessary.
Finally, she urged young people to be vaccinated.
President Anastasiades said that Cyprus underwent an unprecedented disaster with the recent fires and that our efforts concentrate on measures to avert such disasters and strengthen our capability for immediate response.
He also said that the relevant authorities include in their plans ways to promote investments to upgrade our capabilities to handle fires faster and more effectively. One of the plans includes purchasing equipment and training programmes.
Among the investments planned are the purchase of a firefighting plane, according to the Cyprus Republic's needs and another aircraft that will be purchased through state funds.
Answering questions, Von der Leyen said that the EU has a very ambitious plan for transport, digitization and smart connectivity, considered issues of the future, as well as issues related to alternative fuel sources to protect the environment and green growth.
Asked about the incentives that will ensue from the Recovery Plan in the field of Research, President Anastasiades referred to the remarkable achievements of the Cyprus research community, adding that the Excellence Centre plays a fundamental role in the fields of research and innovation as well as supporting other factors to participate in social change, leading the country to a green and competitive economy.
He also said that through the plan, activities in research and innovation will increase and provide the chance for more job openings in these fields.
Von der Leyen underlined the great significance which the EU attaches to education issues and margining of European universities. She concluded by saying the Cyprus RRP is the 15th plan to be approved.

Based on the survey results, families would like to keep a smaller trip this year. Mr. Allen will contact alternate sites to offer choices and dates by the end of this November. Some of the ideas that received the most favorable responses were Nashville, Memphis, and King's Island in Cincinnati. The goal will be to have trip that will cost significantly less per student. Money raised for Disney will go towards the new trip. The length of the new trip will likely be one night and two days with a performance. We will learn more as we gather information about the various options. We expect the number of students to increase based on the decrease in cost of this new trip.
If families would like a refund, they will need to request it by December 1, 2017. Please contact Regina Ray or Chris Hannauer for a refund if you choose this option. Mrs. Ray's email is coordinator@chargerbands.com. Mr. Hannauer's email is studentaccounts@chargerbands.com.
The dates of the trip may or may not correspond to the Disney dates. For example, if we find that a trip to King's Island in Cincinnati will be best, those dates would have to be in late April because the park doesn't open until mid-April.
If you have questions about chaperoning, please contact Mr. Allen at allenmike@u4sd.org.

BigLeap Raises 7 Million USD for BigLeap.AI - A Stealth Mode HR Product
Hyderabad, India, 23rd 2021: Hyderabad-based HR Staffing, Payroll and Recruitment firm BigLeap, today announced raising 7 million USD (INR 5 Crores) in debt fund from Champion Roller Skating Athlete and Arjuna Award Winner, Anup Kumar Yama and others for its BigLeap.AI initiative, a stealth mode HR product to ease the job search experience.
The fund will be used to boost the soon-to-be-launched BigLeap Artificial Intelligence App, "BigLeap.AI", based on Mobile/Web applications, to help hyper-local jobseekers tap into active vacant jobs in various business sectors. The BigLeap.AI app will continuously congregate jobs that are available across sectors and host a registry for jobseekers on an effective basis.
To begin with, the company promises a minimum registry of 2,500+ job postings, posted by multi-sector businesses located around the Telangana region. Currently, the app is in ALPHA mode and is being used by the BigLeap clientele. It will be available for public and the commercial rollouts during September this year.
Launching the BigLeap.AI logo, Shri. Jayesh Rajan, Principal Secretary, I&C and IT, Government of Telangana said, "Today, where everything is on-the-go, jobseekers need to have constant and quick access to employers as well as the latest jobs announced. This app is well-timed and addresses the concerns of millions of jobseekers in these difficult times, to find jobs that intelligently match their profile with a click.
"What excited me the most is the ability of BigLeap.AI to crunch and simplify the complex job finding environment. It solves the human search-difficulty by combining the strengths of human and artificial intelligence with the click of a button. I foresee great potential, and BigLeap is poised to lead this niche business market!" expressed Anup Kumar Yama.
"The unique User Interface and key user aspect of the BigLeap.AI app is that users will be able to find jobs available in and around a particular locality that match their work profile." stated Vinay Kotra, Co-Founder and Director, BigLeap.
"The idea behind developing the app is to enable jobseekers on the path of finding their perfect job easily. We have and will continue to build a large repository of open jobs and vacancies. You can save jobs, apply within the app, and even be notified of new positions matching your needs and skills." Vinay added, explaining the benefit of downloading and using the app.
BigLeap Technologies founded in 2015 by Vinay Kotra, James Johnson, Manoj Yadav Thummala, and Sainath Goud Malkapuram have operations and a presence in 22 states and 18 ESI compliant territories, including Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, New Delhi NCR, and Mumbai.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, finding jobs has become hugely challenging for those having lost their jobs and those seeking jobs. BigLeap.AI is targeted to solve this problem. The app will initially cater to the population in Telangana and will soon cover other geographies in India.
According to a recent study, 8 of 10 employers are actively hiring, with only 4% of employers yet to restart their hiring processes. The survey also stated that 61% of large enterprises anticipate to fill 500+ positions, 45% of mid-sized companies expect to fill around 500 positions, and 61% of small businesses forecast to fill less than 150 positions in the year 2021.
Banking, eCommerce, Insurance and Financial Services, and IT/ITeS sectors expect their hiring numbers to go up. Among cities, Hyderabad tops the list of employment, with 100% of respondents saying that they are actively hiring.

So anyway, I thought I'd officially designate another one of my willy-nilly "It's _____ Friday!" day, and share with you some thoughts from one of my favorite writers and speakers, Anne Lamott.
Anne is as bluntly honest and hilarious as C.S. Lewis is thoughtful and esoteric, and she always just delights me. She is a self-described 'old hippie', raised in the San Francisco Bay-area to be an atheist by her left-leaning parents who thought they were too educated and intellectually sophisticated to believe in God. Anne went through an extended period of addiction before becoming a Christian as a result of discovering a tiny, multi-racial inner-city Presbyterian Church that loved and accepted her just as she was. Her conversion story is one of the best I ever read (it's in "Traveling Mercies"). She's just the real deal.
This is a clip from a recent interview that will give you a little bit of her background story, and also give you a feel for her wonderful mind and quirky spirit. I just love her.
"I was deteriorating faster than I could lower my standards"!
I love this woman too! She's so honest! I like people that admit they have a hard time in the Christian life and don't always have it together. People who DO have it altogether and say the right thing and do the right thing all the time make me feel nervous.
I am going to find a book by her and read it AFTER the Christmas craziness! My reading lately is toy catalogs—trying to find the right gift for a three year old and a nine year old. And it's down right FUN!
Also my favorite LindaB and she made me happy that I wasn't the only one that 'prayed and meditated badly'.
Thank you Tori for posting this. A side note, we signed the purchase and sale for our house yesterday so we will be starting that big adventure and heading for Kentucky the middle of January. Pretty hectic here right now too..Hope your adventure is moving right along.
She has a very good point! Thanks for the introduction, Tori.
OH MY GOODNESS! I AM going to find a book by Ann! Those quotes are terrific stuff! "Laughter is carbonated holiness"? LOL—-carbonated and bubbly! And I especially love the one about the lighthouse! It seems to me that spreading Christianity on the street corner handing out tracts, or blaring from the TV by slick evangelists is not as effective anymore as it used to be. I may be wrong, but……maybe each of us just being a lighthouse and living Christ where we are is more effective. I don't know. Something to think about.
And I like that last one too! I might humbly add: Man is born with a clean slate. And then he writes a bunch of crap on it. Jesus is the teacher and grace is the eraser that enables us to wipe the slate clean and start over……..and over…….and over! 'Til we get it right, more or less.
How do you find these wonderful characters like Ann and Crescent, Tori? Do you just attract them………because you are one too? Anyway, keep them coming—-I love them!
BTW, can't wait to hear the "more will be revealed" part! Is it good? I hope so! And how is your Mom? Is Char on the swim team this year? Is she doing well in school and being the only child at home? Is Madi doing well in college? Any more coyote sightings? Are all your little yappers accounted for? Inquiring minds and nosy people want to know!
Ain't that the unsettling truth?
1. Yes, hopefully the "more to be revealed" part will be all good.
2. Mom is doing pretty well, however her short-term memory issues are really sobering. Rest of her mind is still working just fine, though!
4. Madi is doing very well in college, and loves it– adjusting beautifully!
5. No more coyote sightings.
6. All yappers present and accounted for– and they are so funny during the house showings, they have apparently designated themselves the official welcoming committee and prance around charming everyone in sight.
I looked her up on the internet this morning and yes, I've already noticed she has some unconventional views on some things. And some even more way out than YOURS! LOL But then I have to think: we can learn something from everyone. No body is right all the time…..and no one is wrong all the time. If my views cannot be challenged and defended intelligently and convincingly, then maybe I need a change…..or to look further and to think outside the box a bit. And some "way out" folks are just plain good entertainment……like Ann!! And let's face it—–Jesus was called a fanatic and completely unconventional by His neighbors down here. He enjoyed turning "convention" upside down! And it's funny—–I love it when He does it, but I'm not much into doing that myself. Don't feel I have the authority, I guess.
"Traveling Mercies." Is a very, very good book!!!! Very unique lady, very honest with her writting. Almost feels like she is telling you the stories while you are reading them.
Bonnie recommended to me…a MUST read.
Blessings during the Christmas Season.
Ooo LindaB the idea of 'settling down for a long winter's nap' sounds very appealing. I always did like the idea of hibernation. Alas, this time of year is just a whirlwind of activity and naps are really, really hard to come by. Not that I'd change a thing – December with little kids is FUN.
I love all the extra quotes and will definitely have to read more. As for the 'liberal' warning – how dull would life be if we only read, learned from, and enjoyed the company of people with indentical world-views to ourselves? (Actually, I would never have been able to read anything and would have lived a very lonely life)!
YAYYYYYY DELIGHTED! And it's so good to hear from you!
So for some reason my Google reader didn't update and tell me there was this new post on Friday, so here it is Sunday evening and I'm just getting around to it, a little late to the party.
Now that the craziness of November has passed – I participated in the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and managed to squeeze out of my brain 50,062 words. The story isn't finished yet and I'm not sure how much sense it actually makes either, but it was quite the fun time for me – my family may say differently however since many chores and tasks were abandoned in favor of words.
I have Bird By Bird sitting on my end table waiting for me to dive into, but reading for pleasure was not an option. Now that I have a little more time I think it's perfect to pick up and start reading. And based on the quotes and comments above I have now added Traveling Mercies to my list as well.
Looking forward to hearing good news as well. And hopefully when it comes my reader will update appropriately.
Well, I actually enjoyed her once we got around to where either she started talking slower or I got to hearing faster. Hey, I do my best…..and I think we made a connection. I'll probably read one of her books after Christmas…..the beauty of talking tapes is I can make them at my own speed…..and if she gets on a too-liberal trip I can fast forward and pretend I didn't even hear what she was about to say. I tell you, sometimes handicaps can be a blessing….cause you can get all of the joy and none of the frustrations…so to speak.

Akufo-Addo to lead Ghana's delegation to EXPO 2020 in Dubai
27th Sep 2021 Ababiopeter News, Politics Leave a comment
Ghana is set to participate in an international business and investment exposition in the capital of the United Arab Emirate, Dubai, from October this year to March 2022.
The six-month event dubbed: "EXPO 2020 Dubai" will showcase the business and investment opportunities in Ghana to the global business community, to attract Foreign Direct Investment into the country.
The EXPO was initially slated for last year but the Covid-19 pandemic led to its cancellation.
The event is expected to attract 122 countries worldwide and over 30 million audiences to the commercial city of Dubai, beginning next month.
The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), in collaboration with ministries of Trade and Industry, Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Information and many other sector agencies, is facilitating and coordinating Ghana delegation's participation in the EXPO.
"Ghana: Limitless Opportunities" is the theme the nation has chosen for the EXPO and would enable ministers of state and government officials as well as private sector players to present and explain various business and investment opportunities available in Ghana to a global audience.
Addressing the media in Accra, on Monday, on preparations made towards Ghana's participation in the EXPO, Mr Reginald Yofi Grant, the Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, said Ghana had earmarked specific activities to be undertaken by Ghana's Team to the EXPO.
Some key thematic areas expected to be highlighted at the event include agriculture and agro processing, water and sanitation, culture and creative arts, food security, housing and construction, tourism and hospitality, lands and natural resources, environment and climate change issues.
The EXPO, Grant said, will officially open on September 30 and hold media engagement session with journalists and media practitioners worldwide in October to explain key thematic areas the nation would highlight at the EXPO.
He said, for instance, Ghana had chosen to highlight the opportunities in the country's housing and construction industry in November and engage with strategic investors.
In December, the focus would be on Ghana's education sector and textile and garments industry, with special exposition on Kente.
The month of January 2022 would highlight Ghana's technological and digital economy and explore avenues for partnerships and the healthcare sector.
The last quarter of January next year would also throw more light on investment and trade opportunities in Ghana.
In February, the highlight would be on Ghana's agriculture and agro processing opportunities.
On March 8th and 9th 2022, it has been declared "Ghana Day" or "National Day Engagement", which would allow each participating country to mount a special parade on business and investment opportunities available in their respective countries to a global audience.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will lead a delegation from Ghana to the EXPO on March 8 and hold Presidential Roundtable discussions on "government to business engagement, and networking session with private sector players on investment opportunities in Ghana".
The Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Madam Cecilia Abena Dapaah, will be the first government official to take the centre stage at the EXPO next month to present opportunities in that sector

Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on Postinfarction Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Left Ventricular Remodeling
Kotaro Naito, Toshihisa Anzai, Tsutomu Yoshikawa, Atsushi Anzai, Hidehiro Kaneko, Takashi Kohno, Toshiyuki Takahashi, Akio Kawamura, Satoshi Ogawa
Center for Preventive Medicine
Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have poor clinical outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the precise mechanisms are unclear. We sought to determine the prognostic significance of CKD in patients with MI in relation to left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Methods and Results: We examined 120 consecutive patients with a reperfused first anterior ST-elevation MI. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of CKD, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rates <60 mL·min·1.73 m2. Patients with CKD had a higher incidence of in-hospital cardiac death and readmission for heart failure during follow-up, in association with a greater LV volume and lower LV ejection fraction 2 weeks after MI compared with those without CKD. Cox proportional hazards model analysis revealed that CKD was an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio = 3.13, P = .001). Plasma interleukin-6 on admission, and peak serum C-reactive protein, and malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein levels during convalescence, were higher in patients with CKD than in those without. Conclusions: Patients with CKD had poorer clinical outcomes and accelerated infarct expansion in association with enhanced inflammation and oxidative stress, as compared with non-CKD patients, suggesting a major impact of CKD in the development of LV remodeling after MI.

If you think you are injecting into the muscle, you may want to change your technique or ask your GP to prescribe shorter needles.
The steps below are a broad guide to injecting insulin.
If you plan to change your technique, check with your healthcare team, diabetic nurse or consultant for their advice.
Make sure you have your kit available at all times and if possible, inform your family as to its location. If you suffer from a hypo, this will allow your family to act quickly.
Many diabetic patients are worried about the pain of injecting insulin. There are several methods that can help avoid or minimise pain when injecting.
Making sure the muscles above which you're injecting are relaxed, this will allow for a better coverage of fat where you're injecting.
You may notice a little blood leaks out after injecting.
This is not to worry about, it just means the needle has gone through a small blood vessel.
If this happens, you may notice a raised area of your skin from the blood underneath but this should ease down over the next few hours and you'll be left with a bit of a bruise for a few days.
If you tend to inject in the same places you may find that your flesh becomes less flexible than usual. This is called lumpy skin and means the insulin won't be absorbed as well.
Test your skin, where you inject, to see if you have lumpy skin - your flesh should feel as supple as it is on the rest of your body.
If it is not, you may need to rotate your injection spots better.
Lumpy skin can also lead to the area of flesh sticking out more than usual, this is easier to notice on the arms and tummy.
This is known as insulin injection site rotation.
Each of the main four areas (abdomen, buttocks, outer thighs and upper arms) should give a give a good area of flesh to inject into.
However, you may find you have a 'favourite part' of that area to inject into. If this is the case, try injecting into surrounding areas, picking a new spot each time.
One way to pick a non-lumpy area is to feel or squeeze the skin before injecting insulin. If it doesn't feel as supple as it could be, pick a different spot to inject into.

This New Song by a Vietnamese Rapper Bashing the Communists Will Make You Want to Dance Like No One is Watching, Yell Out "F**k Communism!" With The Windows Down
Posted in Music, Politics, Society with tags Dit Me Cong San, DMCS, Fuck Communism, Hip-Hop Music, Nah, Son Nah, VCP, Vietnam Politics, Vietnamese Communist Party, Vietnamese Hip-Hop on February 16, 2015 by Ian Pham
Okay, maybe not exactly, but there is in fact a new song out there that has been making waves on the internet. Written and performed by Saigon rapper Son Nah, "DMCS," or "Địt Mẹ Cộng Sản," which in English means, "Fuck Communism," is an aggressive lyrical onslaught that completely tears the Vietnamese Communist Party to pieces. Corruption, cowardice, being morons that are unfit to govern, all of the things that we so often cover on this website in regards to the communists, Nah covers it all in "DMCS," with his own poetic style, backed up by a hard and catchy beat.
Born and raised in Vietnam, the young lyricist Nah is currently studying overseas in the United States. Before coming to the U.S., Nah had already made a name for himself in Saigon's hip-hop music scene. Even prior to his departure from Vietnam to the U.S., Nah had created music that brings to light the social decay that is rampant in Vietnamese society under the current regime. It was not until his arrival in the United States however, with the freedom of the press and absence of authoritarian censorship, did Nah see just how repressive and self-destructive the state of Vietnam currently is. With the free-flow of information, news, and unabated coverage of how corrupted, cowardly, and depraved the Vietnamese Communist Party truly is, Nah became inspired to speak about the matter in his new controversial track, "DMCS."
The powerful and provocative subject matter in Nah's song is reminiscent of our courageous brother Viet Khang. The key difference however, is that Viet Khang's lyrics, though equally passionate and forceful, are more restrained, elegant, civil. Nah's lyrics on the other hand, are just straight up nasty. If I could use one word to describe his work, I would simply state it as raw. And man, is it ever raw. With the lyrical versatility that a musical genre such as hip-hop music provides, our guy Nah just unloads on the Communist Party in his rhymes, saying what we've already been saying all this time, but with a fearless and defiant flow.
I tend to limit the use of profanity on this blog, but in this instance, I will make an exception. And, if I do say so myself, even though it may or may not make you want to dance like no one is watching (it might), and/or yell out, "Fuck Communism!" with your windows down (it will), I would just like to say that this track is, and I'm not even sarcastic here, straight fiyaaa!
It's pretty damn good, folks. Just check it out for yourself.
(Note to my non-Vietnamese speakers: This song is in Vietnamese, but Son Nah has included the English subtitles, so that all of us can appreciate what he has to say. Just click on the "cc" button at the bottom right corner of the video (after pressing play) to enable the subtitles. Alright, now just sit back, relax, and enjoy.)
This won't be the last we'll hear of Nah. From the looks of things, it's only the beginning. He's spoken in an interview on SBTN, he's made an insightful video on Youtube commenting on why he believes Vietnamese society is in serious trouble, and in terms of music, he has been and continues to come out with fresh new material. This guy is going places.
On a related note, I just can't help but think of this after listening to Nah's song.
Fuck Communism.


I'm trying to find ways to make journaling and time with God something more tangible and enjoyable for myself whereas now, I feel it's almost like a chore. I'm not getting a ton out of my sessions because I have a 100 other things bouncing around my mind and I don't disconnect and spend it solely in the word.
Knowing that's just how I work I wanted to get a new journaling bible and commit. I found Illustrated Faith on Instagram maybe 2 months ago so when I got my journaling bible in, I ordered a few things from Dayspring to make it a full decompressing session when I'm reading my bible now. It's been such a nice change because I'm loving the time I have solo doing this. I leave my time reading feeling refreshed and relaxed and getting so much more out of that few minutes with God.
What are some ways you disconnect from it all and make time for God? I'm doing it first thing in the morning or at nap times so I spend the second half of my day filled up. I'd love to know your tips and tricks for making it a priority!

Riders enjoy snow tubing at Frisco Adventure Park.
Todd Powell / Special to The Daily
It will be a holiday open on Thursday for the Frisco Adventure Park tubing hill and the Frisco Nordic Center.
The Frisco Adventure Park tubing hill will subsequently be open five days a week — excluding Tuesday and Wednesday — until Dec. 20, when the hill will be open seven days a week through Jan. 7. The hill will go back to its five-day-a-week schedule from Jan. 8 until March 7, when the hill will again be open for seven days a week until March 25.
Early season hours at the tubing hill are 10 a.m. through 6 p.m., with one-hour tubing sessions starting every 15 minutes from opening until 5 p.m. From Dec. 22 through Jan. 5, there will be extended holiday hours, with the hill opening daily at 9 a.m. Tubing is $26 per hour and each additional hour of tubing is $10, although during holidays — from Dec. 20 to Jan. 6, Jan. 19-21 and Feb. 16-18 — tubing is $30 per hour and each additional hour of tubing is $30. Riders must be at least 36 inches tall. Reservations are required.
Skiing and snowshoeing at the Nordic Center will also open with a limited number of trails on Thanksgiving Day, with more trails opening as conditions allow.
"Mother Nature certainly has been smiling on us with better early season conditions than we have seen in a few years," said Katie Barton, the Frisco Adventure Park's general manager. "We are looking forward to unveiling this year's tubing lanes and showing off our cross-country ski terrain on Thanksgiving Day. At this point, Nov. 22 and 23 are already sold out at the tubing hill, but we still have reservations available for tubing fun on Saturday and Sunday."
The beginner ski/ride hill at the Frisco Adventure Park will open for the season on Jan. 10, and ski and ride lessons with Copper Mountain Resort instructors will be available starting Jan. 13.
New race series
This year the nordic center is also launching the "Up & At 'Em Ski Race Series," which will feature five Nordic races on Wednesdays at 7 a.m. in December, January and February.
Classic skiing races will take place on Jan. 9 and Feb. 6, while skate skiing races will take place on Dec. 19, Jan. 23 and Feb. 20. Pre-registration for each race is $20, and day-of registration is $25. Participants who register for the entire series ($80) by Jan. 9, 2019, will receive a travel coffee mug. Registration does not include ski rentals, though discounted ski rentals are available for $10 for all racers. Registration will include a coffee and a grab-and-go breakfast after each race.
Registration is also currently open for a number of ski clinics and events at the Nordic center, including women's skate ski clinics, general skate ski clinics, classic ski clinics, community Nordic workouts, youth Sunday Nordic programs, Frisco Gold Rush, Eat Ski and Be Merry and Frisco BrewSki. Further clinic, event and registration information is available at FriscoNordic.com. Daily Nordic center trail passes for those between the ages of 13-64 are $25, while seniors (65+) are $20 and children 12-and-under are free. Season and punch passes are also currently available for purchase at FriscoNordic.com.
The adventure park also started offering their dinner and hot cocoa sleigh rides, and will remain open until April 6, weather permitting. During holiday peak time from Dec. 15 to Jan. 5, sleigh rides will run seven days per week. During non-peak times, sleigh rides run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Reservations are required. The park also offers private group sleigh rides, featuring draft mules. More information and reservations are available at DinnerSleighRides.com.

"Your Skin Color Shouldn't Dictate Your Future"
In 2010, the Ligue Internationale Contre le Racisme e l'Antisémitisme (LICRA) worked with Publicis Conseil Paris on the campaign "Your Skin Color Shouldn't Dictate Your Future" which won an award at the 2010 Cresta Awards (via).
The Construction Worker, The Cleaning Lady and The Garbage Man: Exaggerated clichees? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, compared with "Whites", "Blacks" are twice as likely to be unemployed. Studies conducted by the Fair Employment Council show that Black applicants are treated less favourably (Harrison & Thomas, 2009). In the U.S., immigrants with the lightest skin colour earn on average 17% more than those with the darkest skin colour. In fact, moving from the 10th percentile to the 90th of the skin colour distribution reduces wages by about 8% (Hersch, 2008). An examination of the U.S. Latino population shows that those who describe themselves as White on Census 2000 have more economic power and the highest incomes although Black Hispanics are better-educated (via). In Brazil, Afro-Brazilians are paid on average 40% less than "White" Brazilians (via). These are a few examples, the list could be continued most easily. And it is not just the professional life that is dictated by skin tone. According to a study by Viglione et al. (2011), Black women with lighter skin tone receive more lenient prison sentences and serve less time in prison than those with darker skin tone (via).

The speakers have yet to be announced, but if you know anything, anything at all about TEDx, you would already be excited, too. I just got an email notifying me that I have been accepted to attend TEDxRochester, Monday, November 1st, 2010.
TED is the "Technology Entertainment Design" conference. It's free to attend, but not necessarily easy to get in to.
Anything can happen at TEDx, from the stone-face-serious, to the stone-faced-serious-looking hilarity, featuring someone such as standup comedian and part time NPR contributor, John Hodgman. In the piece below, he discusses what he believes were his three alien encounters.
In the past, even Melinda Gates has shown up to tell us what non-profits can learn from Coca-Cola.
And Stefana Broadbent has explained to us How the Internet Enables Intimacy, a presentation which actually deals with some of things I discussed in my blog post, Why do Teens Text?.
I am extremely excited and honored just to be attending TEDxRochester.
