How self-publishing on LinkedIn can elevate your professional profile
Author Jerome Ternynck from Mashable
It's no secret that social media and online profiles have changed the rules of the job search game in more ways than one.
Data shows that 73% of millennials found their last job through a social network and 77% of organizations are using social networks for recruiting purposes. With more and more recruiters looking online to gain additional insight into who they're hiring or to find potential employees, getting to know a job candidate no longer stops at his or her carefully crafted resume or formal interview. An employee or potential employee's online presence has become an extension of his or her resume and portfolio, and self-publishing online, specifically on social networks, is becoming an increasingly popular way to strengthen employee profiles.
Social platforms like LinkedIn allow job seekers and ambitious professionals to build their own personal brand and can open doors to new opportunities in the workforce. The social profile is becoming an increasingly important factor in the job search, and is beginning to act as the de facto professional portfolio. Enhancing this portfolio through self-publishing on LinkedIn can help job seekers establish credibility and catch the attention of recruiters.
Benefits for job seekers
Recruiters and hiring teams will usually search for a candidate's name online, and LinkedIn is the most commonly used site for recruitment; 94% of organizations that use social media to recruit report LinkedIn as their first stop.
Unless a candidate has a well-developed set of social profiles that include relevant content, he or she is wasting an opportunity to gain an edge over the competition. LinkedIn's self-publishing platform has surpassed a million long-form posts, and LinkedIn users collectively publish around 50,000 posts per week. With these kinds of numbers, it's obvious that this tool is a popular one, and candidates that want to keep up in today's competitive job-search landscape should be taking advantage of it.
Career-boosting benefits
But the self-publishing platform isn't just great for active job seekers. Even if an individual isn't currently searching for a new position, building a robust profile is part of establishing a good reputation and persona online, which can come in handy in the future. Self-publishing is a great way to demonstrate proficiency and initiative in your career.
LinkedIn publishing makes it easy to create a body of content, and helps users raise their professional profile to another level by showcasing their expertise on relevant topics. The credibility and value of this content has the potential to take professionals much further than a simple resume or online profile can. And unlike a personal website or blog, which requires writers to solicit and build an audience, self-publishing on LinkedIn allows users to share content with people already in their network and reach a broader audience thanks to easy sharing features.
One of the great things about publishing on LinkedIn is how easy it is to post your content. While publishing on LinkedIn used to be reserved for a select few users or "INfluencers," any LinkedIn user can now click the "publish a post" button at the top of his or her LinkedIn homepage to add content.
Users can add text, images, links and even video. The post will then appear on a user's profile and will be shared with his or her network, including connections and anyone who follows the user. LinkedIn also provides post stats such as views, likes, shares and other metrics. It's just as easy as posting to a personal blog — but with an audience already built in.
This isn't to say everyone with a LinkedIn profile should publish just for the sake of publishing. Writers should be able to communicate effectively about topics relevant to their job experience, expertise and future career goals. Once you start to self-publish, be sure to produce content consistently without overdoing it. Visitors should see you publishing regularly, but only when you have something valuable to say. Be sure that articles enhance and showcase specific skills or competencies.
Whether you're actively searching for a job, or just looking to elevate your reputation and establish yourself in certain areas, self-publishing on LinkedIn should be a part of your career strategy. Taking advantage of this tool is a great way to increase exposure, expand your network and carve out a position as a thought leader in your industry.

Bilingual family camps examine prejudice, build hope
Bilingual family camps in California and Arizona are giving people a space to share their struggles with prejudice, prospects for justice and unity in the light of Baha'i teachings, and ways to contribute to building a better world.
Most camp participants are bilingual or Spanish-speaking. They are familiar with conversations informed by Baha'i writings, as they have taken part for up to four years in the "Hope and the Family" program overseen by the national Baha'i Office of Education and Schools (OES).

With study and inspiration from periodic weekend gatherings at Baha'i centers of learning or other fitting locations, this program has encouraged dozens to work in their neighborhoods to facilitate junior youth groups, children's classes, study circles and devotional gatherings. It has helped people of a variety of ages strengthen bonds of friendship, spiritual character and a pattern of service in the community.
Recent camps have also woven in perspectives from another OES program: "Walking Together on a Path Toward Race Amity," a curriculum under development at Baha'i seasonal schools across the country. Those study materials are designed to stimulate conversations and action plans for working to dissolve racial barriers.
In the time between camp sessions, participants strengthen their relationships by visiting each other's homes. Conversations often focus on "long hours of sharing our journey to this point in life," especially how faith has kept people going during difficult times, according to a report describing this effort. Visits often have ended "with an impromptu devotional that naturally emerged as part of the bonding of hearts and collective stories of struggle and faith in life."
Fresh motivation for action
In the wake of camps held in late 2019, some families have come out freshly motivated to organize devotional gatherings and other spaces to invite people into the conversation.

"It reinforced our faith, our desire to improve our home and community life, always applying our faith," commented Juan and Adriana Cabrera of Santa Clara County, California. "We also realized the great magnitude the Baha'i Faith has around the world, and it is good to know that with faith and persistence everything is possible."
One young woman, who facilitates a junior youth group in her neighborhood, said the camp she participated in provided an opportunity to learn alongside her mother and bring coherence to her service and family life.
Where do the conversations happen?
The race amity materials were brought in after camp organizers asked themselves: Where are families naturally already discussing and dealing with issues of racial prejudice?
Those who set out to explore the question included staff members Yma Marañon-Davis and Mahara Bocanegra at Bosch Baha'i School near Santa Cruz, California, as well as Sarah Enslow, who has settled in Santa Clara as a homefront pioneer — a Baha'i who relocates to help the community-building process along.
The answer became clear during a series of home visits, as families opened up and shared their feelings on the challenges their communities face daily.
"It gave me an opportunity to reflect on how to thoughtfully engage in this conversation of racial prejudice, while keeping my eye on the oneness of humanity," Marañon-Davis says. The experience refreshed her perspective as she continued to dive into Baha'i guidance on building unity among the races, and her awareness of "how my posture reflects the conditions necessary for true consultation."
Families taking part in regular family camps in Arizona and California were enthusiastic when they heard the camps in fall 2019 would incorporate the theme of race unity with materials from the "Walking Together" program. It would allow for conversations in larger numbers on a topic they had been discussing in home visits.
"When several families are at a camp studying and considering the advancement of their community all together, the significance of what they are engaging in becomes that much more immediate and impactful," Bocanegra observes. "They become re-energized. They take this to their communities and bolster their efforts."
The flow of the camps
Each camp began with dinner, social icebreakers and prayers focused on building friendships. Service and cleanup tasks were shared eagerly. Showing of the film Dawn of the Light and clips from Frontiers of Learning shed light on the global nature of the process the families are involved in and its potential to transform individuals and communities.

Sincere prayer and remembrance were part of every phase of the weekend, especially potent during scheduled devotions. The camp at Bosch was held in late October during the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Bab, herald of the Baha'i Faith — adding a dimension to the collective sense of dedication.
As she helped facilitate the Phoenix-area camp, Enslow says, she learned a lot about avoiding patterns or attitudes of paternalism. "Because we all saw each other as friends truly working to bring change to our community together, listening to each other's experiences and challenges, and mutually answering the question of 'what steps would you like to take next,' ownership of the process belonged to all," she observes.
On each camp's last day, with the aid of the "Walking Together" materials, each family talked about what they can do going forward. Their plans for continuing to build capacity and relationships in their communities, for the most part, were focused first on widening the scope of devotional gatherings.
This planning came especially naturally to groups who have already been working together as a nucleus of activity in their neighborhoods, and who made new friends from other cities at the camp.
Back in the neighborhoods
Now the families are back in their neighborhoods around the Phoenix area and various Northern California locales. Life's tests — as traumatic as the passing of loved ones or as mundane as meeting many obligations in a limited time — often serve as opportunities to show friendship and encouragement, the OES has heard from many families.
A stream of home visits is a big part of the continuing flow of community building. People pray for each other's steadfastness, share difficulties in moving through challenges, and celebrate joys as well.
Many are learning more deeply how to respond to Baha'i guidance that encourages learning "to draw on each other's strength and consolation in time of need" and to "draw fully on these mighty forces of love and strength and harmony generated by the Faith."

Post on (Poll) International Character Templates in Suggestions
By Frenchell hea Broussard, posted 9 Mar 2016
I feel Daum really failed at making character creation cater to the North American and European regions. In character creation, the templates are very limited and don't encourage diverse looks. It is very difficult to make hooded eyes not look hooded, and the shapes of the character's faces also appear Asian. I think they should add more character templates that allow players to look like any group of people around the world. It's not just the facial features that are very limited, the hairstyles are as well. Not everyone has or wants perfectly straight hair as it appears to be in Asian countries. And that hair "curling" feature? Come on now, you can do better than that. There is a lot of praising of the Black Desert character creation, but I feel it is extremely limited compared to an imported MMO such as Blade & Soul. Blade & Soul, also a Korean MMORPG, did a considerably better job of porting their game to the West. Blade & Soul's character creation has MANY different hair styles, and face and body templates. Also, editing the physical appearance of characters in BnS results in much more impacting changes. I honestly feel like the release of Black Desert was rush and little effort was put into optimizing the game for the West.
I would like to know if anyone else feels this way. Have you been annoyed by this too, has it subtly bothered you, or does it not matter to you at all?
Post on Character Creation & Editing in Suggestions
By White Wolf, posted 8 Mar 2016
*****IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING, this thread is NOT about adding new hairstyles, tattoos, boob sizes, etc. This thread is purely functionality and usability.
Alright folks, I love love love Black Desert's character creation. It is flipping fantastic and I've spent hours on it. But, as an avid customizer who spends hours doing so in each game she plays, it is clunky and time consuming. (More than it should be)
So for you guys I have tried my darnedest in making an easy to read list of functionalities that would valueadd+++ to the user-experience in creation & editing.
Add a rain effect toggle to the weather optionsWe need to see that sleek and shiny body in action <3Assuming rain effect is different from the skin shiny slider*
Allow users to Edit Pose from Default (the stick figure pose) or In Game StanceUsers aren't always creative from scratch, and they don't all have the time to spend making a workable posePossibility: Have some pre-made poses users can switch between with a click. (battle, flirting, shy, pointing, leaning, etc)Sometimes all I want is a small pose change for editing
Allow users to select more than one feature to edit during Face Editing Not talking 'bout that symmetry stuff, I love that thing. I'm talking "I click all three upper lip sections and move them with sliders at the same timeChanges to Layout
Allow users to toggle hat in every sectionI was making a wizard, and to see the hairstyles by themselves AND under the hat I had to: exit to see hair with hat, go back to hair, exit to see hair with hat, change the weather, repeat process... a toggle would save the User time
Rename the weather from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to CAVE, NIGHT, INN, DUSK, DAWN, FOG, NOON etcthe circle labels are more than big enough to fit a three-five letter word, and would give the User context for the different lighting. Currently the number 1 2 or 3 gives ZERO substance to the User.
Allow users to toggle weather in every sectionSee the two above commentsLogic (coding, simple to medium complexity fixes)
When a user has NOT made a change, allow the user to flip between temporary saves with no Confirmation Box people make minuscule edits, this would help with the photoshop-esque process of char creation
Allow user to move every tattooI feel sad when I can't be unique, and some of the tattoo's would be absolutely fantastic if I could move them. Ex. Golden Frame Glasses on the Ranger, I could tilt this into an intricate gold crown or head jewelry
When creating a Save File, have it remember the most recent Save File name.Say I saved my file as DarkMagic1, I changed her hair and I like it better, lets save over it! Wait.... What did I name the previous file? *scrolls through saves* Ah! There it is! *spends time retyping it* *saves* *repeats process five minutes later all over again*You can see how tedious this can be for a user who saves often or has many char saves.... and a bad memory
Make View setting permanentY U RESET MY VIEW ALL THE TIME? I only ever edit characters with an immobile head, and that's important to me. I even ragequit once and took a break because it kept resetting when I switched to makeup or etc. It's annoying to put back, but it's also confusing for my eyes & sanity after I've been staring at an immobile head for fifteen minutes and then it turns to look at me.
Suggestions from others:
Add a "Do not show this again" button to confirmation windows, such as the one under facial expressions or loading a save file.
Post on Quality of Life Changes; Deletion in Suggestions
By Aeonixia, posted 7 Mar 2016
Dear Devs
Please consider making character deletion time a lot shorter if the character is under 10. Considering it only takes 10-15 minutes to level up to that point. It doesn't feel very good to have to wait a whole day if you decide something is wrong in that amount of time. This gives players a chance to tweak the appearance, get the general feel of combat and clear any mistakes they may not have noticed like a spelling mistake.
On a side note, Changing the idle face of the character really shouldn't cost anything if there are only 5 or 6 expressions. If anything they should just be part of regular emotes that hold when standing idle. Having your face stuck in a smile or frown really is a bit much.

But it seems that everytime i go to the page, where the file should be, it's not. I don't know if it's because they removed it or something, but i just can't seem to find it.

!! I will not be accepting any new requests! I will be finishing the ones I have now. Thanks! !!
Since I enjoy character creation a ton I thought I'd make a thread for requests.
It can be of a celebrity, an interpretation of a character, or just a custom request!
Please note that because character creation is limited, exact replicas are not guaranteed. I will do what I can with what I have.
I will send you the file via private message. To install, drag the file here: C:\User\Documents\Black Desert\Customization and start up your game.
Note: If possible, having 3 photos- front facing, side, and 3/4 view, is very helpful!
If you're requesting a celebrity OR character from photo reference...
If you're requesting a custom design...

Post on I made young male Elf Wizard! in General
By Vanessaa, posted 3 Mar 2016
So I wanted to make you see that what you can do with character creation and you are complaining that wizard is too old! Well he is, but I edited witch class to look like male. And I think I did good. So if you want to play as young male wizard just create female witch and make her look like a boy or man. It is so easy to do so You can make him/her sound like a man too. I dont play as males, but I just wanted to show you people that you can create young "male" Witch
Post on Please give us a normal looking male character... in Suggestions
By Khurgen, posted 3 Mar 2016
I would like it if I could create an average looking male character for the male-locked classes. After reading how wonderful character creation was in BDO I was excited thinking about how this game could let me come closer to my visions for these characters than any games before it. But then I got in and found that not only are there only 3 classes that can even have male characters, but none of those classes support even a close to normal, average looking human male. I can be some kind of giant ogre beserker, some ridiculous looking square-jawed beefy man beefcake McMuscles, or Gandalf.
I've spent hours fiddling with these 3 possibilities, and the closest to an actual human being I can build is from the wizard. If you mask the wrinkly face under facial hair & eyeliner you can kind of get to a 50 year old average looking guy. Well, maybe closer to 60.
I understand why they would give 4 female classes that can all be tweaked into attractive young women, I like playing as the pretty ladies sometimes myself. These guys know their market. But for those of us males that want to have a main that is our own gender we are severely limited.
If they really believe that their game is more fun to play because of their restrictions, I guess there is nothing to be done. But if they are willing to give a little leeway, I'd like to see the ability to make a warrior and/or beserker with an average male body shape, and wizards that can be any age down to young adult (in their 20s).

Looking to create a new, or your first, character? Have an idea in your head that you're just not sure how to put down in a way you like? Want some peer review for your upcoming creation, to gauge how other people think about the person you plan to put your mind into? Then this is the thread for you!
Decided to create this thread to either help new people to get started, or for a more open-grounds workshop. Given we seem to be a friendly bunch, I'm sure having something like this around would be a great boon for those looking for help in fleshing out, developing, or otherwise create their characters in a way that they'll be able to enjoy! So? What are you waiting for? Get to questioning!

Hey all, not sure if this has been answered before, but I was unable to find anything on this topic in my forum search, hence the post. I apologize if this has been discussed previously elsewhere and I just missed it.
I realize there is a 24-hour waiting period upon deleting a character, so my question is this: if I delete my character so that I can recreate him/her later, do I risk losing the name I reserved within that 24-hour time-frame?

Post on Issues with Character Creation in Suggestions
By Kastiel Candora, posted 24 Feb 2016
A few problems with character creation:
1. No head scaling, we can scale the individual body parts but nothing can be done with the head size. After scaling the body to be larger the head always remains the same and the character just ends up looking freakishly weird. We really need a slider to change the overall size of the head, really not hard to add this and should have already been included.
2. The Witch's body scaling is flawed at the forearms and from the waist down, you only have to set the "body weight" controller scale to max to notice this problem. The most likely reason for this is because of robes being the main outfit and was implemented this way to prevent mesh clipping, however 1 or 2 other classes have this common issue (sorceress) and the body scaling for them is perfectly adequate in all regards. Fix the body scaling for the Witch class please, this should be a high priority since the class is liked by many and will only become more of a problem later if it is not addressed.

Post on Character Creation Limitations in Suggestions
By Nylei, posted 23 Feb 2016
Though the character creation is quite in depth which is incredible in my opinion, the only issue I have is the set genders for the classes, where a ranger can only be a female, or a warrior be a male. Which for those who may only like to play per say female characters, they will not really like this and if they play these male only classes they may feel genuinely uncomfortable doing so or opt out of playing those classes all together even if they are interested, and this could work vice versa for someone with a strong preference for male characters. This itself creates a kind of limitation on character creation because you are unable to play the gender you want of the class you want. Which can break some of the immersion which this game appears to have a heavy focus on. So though you are given a lot of freedom in character creation, to me there are also massive limits on it.
Post on Amazing character creation, and yet I feel it could be better. Here are 3 suggestions. in Suggestions
By Biggz, posted 22 Feb 2016
I love the character creator, however I would love it even more if it had:
More variety in base hairstyles, especially more ethnically diverse hairstyles, but also things like more variety in side-parted hair, pig & pony tails, buns, buzz cuts, etc. If you wanted to add these via the cash shop, I'd be okay with that, being used to it in Guild Wars 2. Curly hair definitely leaves something to be desired and could be improved, as well.More body variety. I was really disappointed that I couldn't make a short, fat wizard. Some people would like to be able to make more "butch" female characters or more effeminate male characters as well.More tattoo variety, including scars. This is also something that could be in the cash shop, but I'd be perfectly happy if there were just more choices. I made some pseudo-scarring on a wizard's face by choosing a certain tattoo and then choosing a fleshy color for it, but more realistic scars would be AWESOME.
Post on My Feedback in Suggestions
By Dali, posted 22 Feb 2016
I was not able to play in CBT2 nearly as much as I did in CBT1. But these my thoughts/suggestions.
Character creation:
1. Remove the gender/race locks. It is ridiculous to think that ONLY an elf can be an archer, or that elves can only be archers. What if I want an elven wizard? Or an elven warrior? Only a female sorcerer? I understand the lore says females are more magically inclined, but these limitations are simply irritating, and as I cannot see any real difference between the functions of the classes that share the same traits for different genders, what is the point other than to make things more difficult for the developers, as well as to frustrate your player base?
2. More base options on the creator. Not the customization controls (I like those the way they are, with only the exceptions noted below), but the base options. I am hoping this part is as basic as it is simply because this is Beta, and at launch it will be better... but just in case, I am throwing my 2cp out here.
A. The hair styles for each class are all pretty much the same thing, with only a few variations (like the braids on the Valkyrie). But for the most part, I personally do not like any of the current female options. French braid? Great.. if it didn't poof around my face like some 1980's hairdo! More long hair options! There are only a couple long hair options, and if they are pulled to the side or anything, then most of the customization controls do not work! (The one long one that pulls around front.. you can change how far it goes down the chest , and the length of the few strands left dangling on the "pulled around side"... and that's it!)
B. All of the base presets are the exact same face with only slight texture variations. It takes A LOT of time and effort to make them look like something else, and while I enjoy that part of the process, I do not want it to FEEL LIKE WORK! The presets should actually be different faces, not slight (almost unnoticeable) variations of the same thing. Change the facial structure, the ethnic group, the hair, whether it looks "cartoony", "anime", "realistic" etc.
C. Remove the age/body restrictions from the Tamer. I have no desire to play as a pubescent teen character. Too many games are catering to this for whatever reason, and I wont play those races in other games either, no matter how much I want the class (same reason I would not play the Reaper in Tera, although I REALLY REALLY wanted to). There are enough customization options already built into this game that players can choose to make their toons as young and small as they want. But let those of us that want them have mature characters regardless of what race/class we choose.
Game play:
1. The cursor misalignment that others have mentioned. I do not play in full screen...ever.. so that option really isn't a solution for me. I experienced this as well, so that's all I will say on it.
2. Amity quests with the NPC's, I noticed when I was building Amity, none of them would give me the quests, even when I met the Amity level noted in the tooltip. I even tried logging out and back in, as well as leaving the area and returning... nothing would induce them to give up the goods!
3. Quests vs. contribution points. I know in CBT1 I had to return to the beginning area to do a bunch of quests, but as I went through it again in CBT2, I noticed that there are almost no quests in the beginning other than ones given by the black thing (who REALLY needs a changed voice-over...). His quests do nothing for contribution points to an area, and so it is impossible to actually start building our links to other places, without having to run all the way back when we get higher level! I ran all over the beginning area with 3 different toons, got all of the people except the lazy chicken expert... never did find him... and still... no quests. The only ones I saw were the Amity ones, and as I mentioned... they weren't sharing.
4. Gathering and Crafting. I did not get into this much in CBT1 or 2. (No crafting in CBT2 at all, but I have been gathering) But I have been playing BnS, which operates on a "have someone else do the crafting" basis... and I have to say... I do NOT like it. The gathering in this game is MUCH better than in BnS, so I'll leave that alone... but I want the individual crafting, or even some mix of the two. The feeling of accomplishment when you have been working to master a craft, and create new exciting armors, weapons, etc. will just not be there with this method, since there is no "mastering" of a craft. And getting anything done this way takes FOREVER! Hopefully it wont be as outrageously demanding to craft something as simple as a key if its needed in this game,...
5. I have to own 15 different houses to run different trade-skills and have more space in my vault to hold all the mats?!?! I love having my own place, but this game takes that and turns us into land barons to get anything done!
The houses for vault space should be replaced with in-game items (not cash shop items) to expand that space, as many other games do it.
I think instanced housing works better, but I liked the Archeage method of combining tradeskills, farming, and a house into a single, or few places (just not their taxes...). Particularly given this game's lack of quick transport, having this many houses all over the map is not practical, even for someone that ONLY does crafting/trading... that wont be me BTW... I like to PLAY, not WORK.
I know I am forgetting some things, but I will stop...
Post on Regarding Char Creator and Char Deletion Timers. in General
By Mio, posted 22 Feb 2016
Why close the creator? I mean, I guess to save on server costs and to prepare for launch, but isn't the whole point of the char creator to prepare characters for launch? When launch arrives, there will be a surge of people grabbing for names.
Did Daum mention anything about the character deletion timer for launch? In beta it was an inexcusable 24 hours(who puts a 24 hour timer in a beta lasting some days?).
If I'm to go with default characters just to grab names I want, will there be any way I can remake the character and still keep my name? For example, in Guild Wars 2 there's a 24 hour window where the name you gave a character cannot be taken by anyone else, but you are free to delete the character and remodel it as you wish with the guarantee that your name will still be yours to use on any new character during that time period.
In my opinion, Daum should switch the char deletion timer to the name deletion timer, or at the very least make it so we do not have to wait 24 hours just to remake a character because our Valkrie's nose doesn't look quite right in game. Thankfully in the beta there was extra servers to make a new class on, but the 24hr wait is a bit ridiculous altogether. While it may be there as a safety mechanism to prevent hackers from deleting your characters, I think Daum should already have a rollback system in place like every single other MMO; many of which are quite old.
Post on Color code/name on character creation in Suggestions
By Han Solo, posted 22 Feb 2016
Hello fellows, i noticed when you are creating a character and the box with all the colors showing up, for example hair option.
Its gets really complicated for "us" colorblind people to guess wich color it is. If you could make a name on the color when the mouse is hovering over it, it would be awesome!
Its not so awesome when you see the green and yellow as the same color, and then the gear is orange and you think, "this is freaking awesome" but in real life look like a clown
It's the only problem i had so far with colors that is annoying me deeply, please add color names in character creation <3

Q: Disable autohide for Gnome 3's bottom bar I like to work with maximized shell windows, and very often notifications I care little about appear at the bottom of the screen, right on top of my command line that I'm writing.
It would be much easier to ignore them if the notification bar was always visible. Is it possible to disable autohiding?

1 Rome: From City-State to Empire Politics
2 Politics A small city-state in western Italy. 753 BCE a Monarchy 509 BCE a republic. It was originally ruled by a king, Roman aristocrats threw off the monarchy and established a republic in which the wealthy class, know as patricians, dominated. Romans took great pride in their political system, believing that they enjoyed greater freedom than did many of their more autocratic neighbors.
3 Republic A form of government in which power rests with citizens who have the right to elect the leaders who make governmental decisions. Indirect democracy. Voting rights granted only to free-born males. Patricians versus plebeians. Written Code of Law Senate
4 Empire Building Took more than 500 years, began in 490s BCE. Conquest and wars led to expansion. Partial measures over time. Romans saw conquest as a measure of defense. Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia under Roman domination. Civil War broke out during the 1 st century BCE changing Rome, for authority was vested in an emperor- Octavian-Augustus. He was careful to maintain the forms of a republic- senate, consuls, public assemblies, and referred to himself as "first man" even as he accumulated enormous personal power.
5 Roman Law All citizens had the right to equal treatment under the law. A person was considered innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof rested with the accuser rather than the accused. Any law that seemed unreasonable or grossly unfair could be set aside.

Fleabag's Andrew Scott just pointed out the big problem with the phrase 'openly gay'
Christobel Hastings
Fleabag actor Andrew Scott, who made audiences swoon as the "Hot Priest" in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's hit comedy-drama, has called out the obsessive media scrutiny on members of the LGBTQ+ community.
If you're a fan of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's critically acclaimed comedy Fleabag, then you'll know by now that Andrew Scott has firmly cemented his status as a national treasure. Thanks to his turn as the flirty, sweary, gin-swilling "Hot Priest" in the hit show, the Irish actor, who won a BAFTA award for his portrayal of the villain Moriarty in the BBC's Sherlock, has reached a whole new legion of fans.
Andrew Scott's beautiful tribute to Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a must-read for Fleabag fans everywhere
There's an undeniable degree of irony that Scott, who attended a Catholic boys' school and encountered rampant homophobia as a child, decided to ever take on the role of a priest in Fleabag. This is, after all, a gay actor who has spoken about the "damage" the Catholic church inflicted on him when he was younger, and how it took him "a long time to find my voice." But Scott, who came out in 2013, has begun liberating himself from the deep-rooted shame around his sexuality, and started to use his platform to tackle societal injustice.
In an interview with British GQ, Scott took the opportunity to address a double-standard faced by the LGBTQ+ community on the daily, explaining how the phrase 'openly gay' is regularly used to define people, and presents homosexuality as "defiance".
"You're never described as openly gay at a party - 'This is my openly gay friend Darren', 'She's openly Irish'," Scott began. "It implies a defiance I don't feel."
Andrew Scott as the "Hot Priest" in Fleabag
Scott, who has recently starred in Black Mirror, went on to explain that identifying as a straight man isn't a prerequisite for creating on-screen chemistry - just look at the sexual tension between Fleabag and the priest in the second season for proof of that.
"Sexuality isn't something you can cultivate, particularly," he continued. "It isn't a talent… You believe the relationship, that's my job."
It's not the first time the actor has called out how people question whether a gay person can convincingly play a straight character, or portray a heterosexual romantic relationship on screen. Speaking to the Huffington Post earlier in the year, Scott said he found it "insulting" when an actor's ability came under scrutiny because of their sexuality.
"It's not remotely difficult for me to have chemistry with Phoebe Waller-Bridge and that goes for a lot of women I've played opposite," he said. "It's ludicrous and almost insulting to say otherwise. The most important thing is that you have a real chemistry with the person you're playing opposite."
"I think it's dangerous territory to go down sometimes to think that we're only allowed to play our own – not just our own sexuality, but our own nationality or identity – that we're only allowed to… represent things that are within our experience," he added.
Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag.
The Dublin-born actor, who was honoured last week with the Standout Performance prize at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, is totally right: why should members of the LGBTQ+ community have their sexuality factored into every exchange? It cements the idea that being straight and cisgendered is the default, and perpetuates the pervasive narrative that homosexuality is something that needs to be continually disclosed, explained and justified. The media still has a long way to go before sexuality ceases to be sensationalised, but Scott's words carry weight - and hopefully, at some point in the future, being straight or gay won't ever warrant a mention.

Q: Change Page Title on Canvas App This is a shot in the dark, but is it possible to update the page title of a canvas app using Javascript? While the page title does seem to reflect the app, is it possible to update it once the page has rendered?
I'd like to be able to add an active counter to the title (e.g. "(0) Title", "(1) Title", "(2) Title") based on what's happening in the app, which doesn't seem possible from within an iframe.
[edit]
Document.title obviously doesn't work since it's applied to my page. But I've also tried parent.document.title and that doesn't work either.

A: To access the parent window you need something like: parent.document.title
But this is NOT allowed for obvious reasons:

*

*Facebook won't allow you to access their page (document)

*Read about Cross Domain Communications & Same origin policy (there are suggested workarounds but I don't think Facebook will allow them either)

Anyway, if you try the code above you'll get (as expected):

Permission denied to access property 'document'

# First Steps: API

This brief tutorial will teach **how to get up and running with the Flyway API**. It will take you through the
steps on how to configure it and how to write and execute your first few database migrations.

This tutorial should take you about **5 minutes** to complete.

## Prerequisites
- Java 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12
- Maven 3.x

## Creating the project

We're going to create our project using the Maven Archetype Plugin by issuing the following command:

> mvn archetype:generate -B ^
    -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes ^
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart ^
    -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 ^
    -DgroupId=foo ^
    -DartifactId=bar ^
    -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT ^
    -Dpackage=foobar

We are now ready to get started. Let's jump into our project:

> cd bar

## Adding the dependencies

Let's add Flyway and H2 to our new `pom.xml`:
```xml
<project xmlns="...">;
    ...
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.flywaydb</groupId>
            <artifactId>flyway-core</artifactId>
            <version>{{ site.flywayVersion }}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
            <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
            <version>1.4.197</version>
        </dependency>
        ...
    </dependencies>
    ...
</project>
```

## Integrating Flyway

Now it's time to integrate Flyway into `src/main/java/foobar/App.java` and point it to our database:

```java
package foobar;

import org.flywaydb.core.Flyway;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create the Flyway instance and point it to the database
        Flyway flyway = Flyway.configure().dataSource("jdbc:h2:file:./target/foobar", "sa", null).load();

        // Start the migration
        flyway.migrate();
    }
}
```

## Creating the first migration

We create the migration directory `src/main/resources/db/migration`.

Followed by a first migration called `src/main/resources/db/migration/V1__Create_person_table.sql`:
```sql
create table PERSON (
    ID int not null,
    NAME varchar(100) not null
);
```

## Executing our program

It's now time to execute our program by issuing this command:

bar> mvn package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=foobar.App

If all went well, you should see the following output (timestamps omitted):

INFO: Creating schema history table: "PUBLIC"."flyway_schema_history"
INFO: Current version of schema "PUBLIC": << Empty Schema >>
INFO: Migrating schema "PUBLIC" to version 1 - Create person table
INFO: Successfully applied 1 migration to schema "PUBLIC" (execution time 00:00.062s).

## Adding a second migration

Now add a second migration called `src/main/resources/db/migration/V2__Add_people.sql`:
```sql
insert into PERSON (ID, NAME) values (1, 'Axel');
insert into PERSON (ID, NAME) values (2, 'Mr. Foo');
insert into PERSON (ID, NAME) values (3, 'Ms. Bar');
```

and execute it by issuing:

bar> mvn package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=foobar.App

We now get:

INFO: Current version of schema "PUBLIC": 1
INFO: Migrating schema "PUBLIC" to version 2 - Add people
INFO: Successfully applied 1 migration to schema "PUBLIC" (execution time 00:00.090s).

## Summary

In this brief tutorial we saw how to
- integrate Flyway into a project
- configure it so it can talk to our database
- write our first couple of migrations

These migrations were then successfully found and executed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert Blair, Class 26 and his wife Rhonda as she recovers from major surgery in Spokane. Reports are that Rhonda is doing well and that one of the new skills Robert can add to his résumé is "nursing"!
Now is the time to be thinking of family, neighbors and friends to nominate for the Governor's Award for Excellence in Agriculture. The application and list of past recipients can be found on the Idaho Ag Summit web page at www.idahoagsummit.org. Applications are due by July 1. This is a wonderful award to recognize individuals in five different categories: Education/Advocacy, Environmental Stewardship, Marketing Innovation, Technical Innovation, Lifetime Achievement.
LIA graduates will be playing a major role at the Meridian workshop for Idaho Ag in the Classroom. Drew Eggers, Class 12, will be the tour host on Monday, and Leah Clark, Class 26, Stephanie Etter, Class 26 and Jim Lowe, Class 31, will be presenting on Tuesday.
Speaking of Ag in the Classroom - At this time, 25 teachers from around Idaho are signed up for the famous "Smile Tour" that follows the path of the Snake River and features Idaho Agriculture. The tour is July 14-17 from Boise to Idaho Falls. Two events are planned for alumni during that time - Monday evening, July 14, there will be a BBQ in Twin Falls, and on Wednesday evening, July 16, there will be a BBQ in Idaho Falls. Each event is an opportunity for local alumni to meet and interact with the teachers; the trick – you are helping to provide the food! Details will be coming in a letter. Please plan to attend the BBQ in your area. We hope to see many of you at either one of these events.
The information sheet for the 2014-2015 LIA Alumni Directory, along with the annual dues notice, will be coming your way early July. The format for the new directory will have one change - lifetime members will be placed back into the alpha listing, but will still be recognized on a separate list. We are excited to welcome new Lifetime Members – Darrell Bolz, Class 7, Todd Flick, Class 5 and Doug Gross, Class 7.
Congratulations to Moya Dolsby, Class 30, who was named one of the Women of the Year by the Idaho Business Review. Moya is the administrator of the Idaho Wine and Grape Commission in Boise.
LIA Alumni will play a vital role in a joint project between LIA, Idaho Ag in the Classroom and the Idaho FFA Foundation in a program called Seed Survivor, sponsored by Agrium. The program sponsors visits to elementary schools to raise awareness about agriculture. Coordinating the program for Idaho is Brett Wilder, 2013-2014 Idaho FFA President. Brett is working from our office for the duration of this project. The school visits will be September – October and assistants will be needed at each of the locations. Don't be surprised if you get a letter of invitation to volunteer at one of these sites! Spouses are also welcome to participate.
Remember, August 1 is the deadline for applications for Class 35. Tuition this year is $2400, plus travel and lodging. Scholarship funds are available. Encourage your family, friends and neighbors to apply. Applications are available on line at www.leadershipidahoag.org or by contacting Joanne in our office at joanne@amgidaho.com.

Cyber crime is one of the most dangerous criminal threats in the world presently. In this digital era, where everything is or has moved online, there is need for diligent care when on the Internet. Criminals have now graduated to hacking, which enables them to be able to steal a person's information or money through computers.
Our country has not employed the best of measures to tackle cyber crime, which has enabled the (frequent) hacking of different institutions, especially financial ones. An example would be the hacking of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) that resulted in a loss of Sh4 billion. This demonstrated how unprepared most institutions are when it comes to cyber crime.
In 2014, the Kenya ICT Authority embarked on an overhaul of government websites, even hosting them under one server in a move aimed at boosting security after a number of cyber attacks occurred. However, even after hosting them in one server, they still do not seem immune to hacking. For instance, at the start of the year the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), was hacked.
The recent WannaCry ransomware virus did even more damage, in yet another show that most people – and firms – have not fully comprehended the threat posed by hackers. The virus affected at least 19 organisations in the country, such that they were unable to access almost all files on their computers unless they paid the ransom demanded by the hackers.
The recent insistence by the Central Bank of Kenya that the country's financial institutions need to strengthen their cyber crime protection regimes must be heeded. Unless the banks boost their security, they may end up falling victim to hackers, which disadvantages not just the institutions but also their clients. There is a need to employ requisite expertise by these institutions – as well as other corporates – to ensure that they can deal with cyber threats. Commercial banks need to ensure they submit their cyber security policies, strategies and frameworks to the CBK, and actually stick to them.
With government agencies at both national and county governments increasingly relying on technology for numerous functions and service delivery, the threat of cyber security has been heightened. Now, more than ever, we must all realise that cybercrime is not some futuristic concept that we can put off, but a present reality we must confront.

Google Play comfortably beats App Store in 2015 downloads, but loses in revenue
According to a market research firm, there were twice as many apps downloaded from Google Play than the App Store in 2015, but the latter made more money.
Published 21 January 2016, 07:15 EST
App Store,
Roses are red, violets are blue, Android has more fans than iOS, but with less money to spend on both hardware and software. Facts of life or exaggerated urban legends? You know, like Apple's alleged mobile security advantage, disputed in numerous reports of late.
Unfortunately for Google, its device-making partners, and especially friendly app developers, the same can't be said about Cupertino's edge when it comes to App Store revenue. That one's no myth, and in fact, iOS titles generate more income overall, despite considerably lagging behind their Android counterparts in terms of download figures.
According to App Annie's 2015 retrospective, Google Play downloads exceeded 200 million last year, while the App Store merely managed to rack up 100 mil installations. Then again, the continuous prevalence of free titles in the former library caused it to lose the earnings battle by a similar gap, as the App Store collected its devs and Apple head honchos around $200 million.
That number doesn't fit with official statements from the iPhone and iPad creators, but there could be various explanations for the huge discrepancy. First, App Annie doesn't track in-app purchases. Second, its research is based on "more than 1 million apps", which isn't the sum total of the iOS App Store database. And third, nobody besides Apple can ever get the full scoop on the giant's financials.
At the same time, it's worth pointing out the report probably doesn't count ad revenue generated by Android apps either, which is a big part of Google's vision for Play Store profits.
All that being said, both Big G and Cupertino have reasons to rejoice upon checking out the research, as the former's apparently widened the download gap, whereas the latter keeps its money advantage intact.

14 killed in crash…
(Trinidad Express) Local aviation authorities yesterday suspended Venezuela's state airline from flying to Trinidad and Tobago after one of its planes crashed in Venezuela, killing 14 people.
The plane carrying 51 people crashed on Saturday in eastern Venezuela, and officials in that country said 33 people survived.
Director general of the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority at Piarco Ramesh Lutchmedial confirmed on Saturday that the operations from Caracas to Trinidad of Venezuela state airline Conviasa were suspended after the crash.
The French-built ATR 42 from Conviasa slammed into a lot used by the state-run Sidor steel foundry, leaving its smashed and partly scorched fuselage among barrels and shipping containers, the Associated Press reported.
Lutchmedial told the Express by phone Conviasa's operations to Piarco International Airport were "suspended today pending further investigations" into the crash and the airline.
He said the airline operated one daily flight and between Port of Spain the Venezuelan island of Margarita.
There were no intial reports of Trinidadians onboard when the plane crashed.
At least 14 people were killed and four others were missing after the crash about six miles from the eastern city of Puerto Ordaz, Bolivar state Governor Francisco Rangel Gomez said on Saturday in an AP report.
Steel plant worker Oscar Crespo said he heard the thunderous noise of the impact and found the plane in flames.
"I was one of the first who got there to help," Crespo told state television. "We brought some of the injured into an office to treat them. While I was taking people out, Sidor's firefighters arrived to help us."
While he was helping some of the survivors from the wreckage in thick smoke, Crespo said, he heard some children among the passengers telling how they had looked out the windows and had seen they were "flying very low" before the crash.
It was unclear what caused the crash.
The governor said 33 people survived and were being treated at hospitals.
The plane, a twin-engine turboprop, was carrying 47 passengers and four crew members, Rangel Gomez said.
He said that Conviasa Flight 2350 had taken off from Margarita Island—a Caribbean island that is one of Venezuela's top tourist destinations—and crashed shortly before reaching its destination, the airport of Puerto Ordaz, the AP report said.
The state airline, Consorcio Venezolano de Industrias Aeronauticas y Servicios Aeros SA, began operations in 2004.
It says it serves destinations in Venezuela, the Caribbean, Argentina, Iran and Syria.

Higher Criticism for Large-Scale Inference: especially for Rare and Weak effects
David Donoho, Jiashun Jin
In modern high-throughput data analysis, researchers perform a large number of statistical tests, expecting to find perhaps a small fraction of significant effects against a predominantly null background. Higher Criticism (HC) was introduced to determine whether there are any non-zero effects; more recently, it was applied to feature selection, where it provides a method for selecting useful predictive features from a large body of potentially useful features, among which only a rare few will prove truly useful.
In this article, we review the basics of HC in both the testing and feature selection settings. HC is a flexible idea, which adapts easily to new situations; we point out how it adapts to clique detection and bivariate outlier detection. HC, although still early in its development, is seeing increasing interest from practitioners; we illustrate this with worked examples. HC is computationally effective, which gives it a nice leverage in the increasingly more relevant "Big Data" settings we see today.
We also review the underlying theoretical "ideology" behind HC. The Rare/Weak} (RW) model is a theoretical framework simultaneously controlling the size and prevalence of useful/significant items among the useless/null bulk. The RW model shows that HC has important advantages over better known procedures such as False Discovery Rate (FDR) control and Family-wise Error control (FwER), in particular, certain optimality properties. We discuss the rare/weak {\it phase diagram}, a way to visualize clearly the class of RW settings where the true signals are so rare or so weak that detection and feature selection are simply impossible, and a way to understand the known optimality properties of HC.

COP26 President Alok Sharma at launch of COP26 Private Finance Agenda
COP26 President Alok Sharma spoke at the launch of the COP26 Private Finance Agenda at Guildhall, London, on Thursday 27 February
Ladies and gentlemen, Sir David, Governor Carney, Tanya.
Let me start by thanking the Lord Mayor for hosting us today.
It is staggering to think that over 600 years have passed since the Guildhall's master mason, John Croxton, started work on this incredible building.
Today, this is the only secular stone building in the City dating back from before 1666. In part, thanks to the choices Croxton made all those years ago. When the Great Fire of London ravaged the City, the Guildhall's oak frame is said to have saved it from collapse.
And when it was bombed in World War II, the roof fell in, but his stone walls stood firm.
With COP26 this year, we want to do what John Croxton did all those centuries ago. Leave a legacy which stands the test of time, and makes life better for future generations. Building on the foundations of past conferences, especially Paris, to create a zero-carbon economy which will benefit our children and grandchildren.
COP26 will be the biggest summit the UK has ever organised. In this year, the Year of Climate Action, it will be the top international priority for this Government. And we are getting ready for it.
In my first fortnight as COP President, I have been listening to those who have done this before. Meeting people like Paris COP President Laurent Fabius, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed and Patricia Espinosa from the UNFCCC.
And, we are working closely with our partners in Italy. Our vision for COP26 is clear. In Glasgow, the world must ramp up momentum towards a zero-carbon economy.
Sending out a message of hope, that decarbonisation is the future. With huge opportunities for those who are prepared to act now.
And, of course, this transition must be fair and inclusive, leaving no-one behind.To achieve this, all countries must commit to significant further cuts to carbon emissions by 2030, and to reach net zero as soon as possible.
Agreeing a package that delivers the Paris Agreement and powers the UN climate process forward. And we will do that, working with all parts of the global economy and society.
But there are some areas which need particular attention in 2020. First, adaptation and resilience, helping people, economies and the environment adapt and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
This was a personal priority for me when I was Secretary of State for International Development.
Working with Egypt, and others at the UN General Assembly, we launched a Call for Action on adaptation and resilience where 118 nations and over 80 organisations committed to raising their ambition.
The next step is to translate these political commitments into on the ground action.
Second, nature, safeguarding ecosystems, protecting natural habitats and keeping carbon out of the atmosphere. Promoting nature-based solutions.
Third, energy transition, seizing the massive opportunities of cheaper renewables and storage.Cleaning our air, and helping economies shift away from a legacy of polluting fossil generation.
Fourth, clean road transport, accelerating the move to zero-carbon road transport.
And fifth, to make this all possible, unleashing the finance which will power the shift to a zero-carbon economy. From solar panels, to electric vehicles and tree planting, it is often finance that turns good intentions into action.
All of you here are in a unique position to drive the transition to a zero-carbon economy. Helping developing countries leapfrog the polluting options of the past, to the clean, green, resilient technologies of the future.
Last month, I helped launch East Africa's first 'green bond' on the Nairobi securities exchange.
Followed by its dual listing on the London Stock Exchange. The first Green Simba bond.
A bond which UK Government funding helped to develop. Raising funds to build environmentally-friendly housing for 5,000 students in Nairobi.
The OECD estimates that we will need nearly 7 trillion dollars a year up to 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement, as well the development goals.
Much of this funding needs to come from the private sector.
Whilst I was at the Department for International Development I set up the UK's International Development Infrastructure Commission to help corral private sector money, alongside sovereign development funds, into sustainable infrastructure projects in developing countries.
Following the Commission's recommendations, the UK is now partnering with five countries in Africa to design a new facility to plan, deliver and support funding to a range of infrastructure projects that are attractive to businesses and investors like you.
Sustainability will be central to these new infrastructure projects, focusing on investments with low carbon emissions and infrastructure that will be resilient to changing climates.
The UK and other developed countries have committed to mobilising 100 billion dollars a year by 2020, building on the 71 billion we reached in 2017.
We are firmly committed to this goal. And to meet it in a way that responds to the needs of developing countries.
And last year at the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Boris Johnson underlined his personal commitment to tackling climate change by announcing a doubling of the UK's international climate finance commitment to 11.6 billion pounds over the period 2021-25.
This, in turn, will mobilise further finance from public and private sources. Helping us meet and indeed move beyond the 100-billion-dollar goal, as we begin discussions on the goal that will replace it from 2025.
Today, Multilateral Development Banks are the largest vehicle for channelling climate finance to developing countries.
And donor support will remain critical as we shift to low carbon investment and protect the world's most vulnerable.
Last October, I made the UK's backing for the World Bank fund dependent on putting more money into developing resilience to a changing climate.
And we will continue to work with Multilateral Development Banks and Development Finance Institutions to help them deliver Paris Alignment Plans.
But to move from billions to trillions, we will need all finance to look at aligning with the Paris Agreement.
Making the spirit of Paris felt in London, New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Shanghai and every other financial centre around the world.
Encouragingly today, as the financial risks and opportunities of the low carbon transition become clear, we are seeing a major shift in private finance.
This shift is based on a simple fact.
The only economy which can avoid the worst effects of climate change, and thus continue to deliver growth, is a decarbonised economy.
I know Governor Carney will be speaking about this in just a moment.
Of course we are seeing firms moving beyond Corporate Social Responsibility and funding green projects, to integrate climate and environmental factors into decision-making across all sectors and asset classes. Focusing on impact and not just return.
We are starting to see real momentum. Campaigns like 'Make My Money Matter' are giving a voice to those who want to see their pensions invested in line with their values.
Last year, a survey by the Department for International Development found that the vast majority of UK savers wanted their investments to be made in a manner which considers the impact on people and planet, alongside financial performance.
As part of COP26, we will be supporting private sector coalitions to do even more, sooner, helping them look at the climate impacts of asset portfolios and loan books.
Ladies and gentlemen, I started by mentioning the origins of the Guildhall.
Centuries ago, a historian described how it grew from a "little cottage" into a "large and great house".
And, in many ways, that is what we need for COP26.
From governments, businesses, civil society, young people and so many others, we are opening up our doors and inviting absolutely everyone in.
Each of us will write the future.
Our choices will make or break the zero-carbon economy.
Together, I know we can make the right decisions.
