Eichenlaub earns Gatorade honor
Bloomfield Hills Marian's Jansen Eichenlaub recently was honored as the 2017-18 Gatorade Michigan Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
The award recognizes Eichenlaub, who last month led Marian to a second straight Class B state championship, as Michigan's best high school girls soccer player. She is the first Marian player to win the award and joins an elite list of past national winners, including Alexi Lalas (Cranbrook, 1987-88), Abby Wambach (Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y., 1997-98) and Mallory Pugh (Mountain Vista, Colorado, 2014-15).
The senior-to-be at Marian scored a team-high 34 goals and helped the Mustangs finish with an undefeated (19-0-1) record this past. She posted eight multi-goal games — five hat tricks — and made the all-state Dream Team for the second straight season.
Eichenlaub, who has committed to play soccer at the University of Virginia, maintains a 3.74 grade-point average.
A few of the recent Michigan girls soccer players who have won the award are Megan Buckingham (Northville, 2013-14), Madi Lewis (Plymouth, 2012-13) and Olivia Brannon (Athens, 2010-11).
MHSAA news and notes
The Michigan High School Athletic Association saw a rise in student-athlete participation in the 28 sports in which it sponsors postseason tournaments. A total of 284,920 participants competed in MHSAA-sponsored sports for the 2017-18 school year, up 0.46 percent from 2016-17. It is the best participation rate in four years and occurred despite a 1-percent drop in enrollment among member schools. Girls participation rose for the third straight year (121,349), while boys participation fell to 163,571 — less than one-10th of a percent decline from last year.
Jack Fairman from Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood High School is one of eight student-athletes who will be juniors at their schools and have been selected to serve a two-year term on the MHSAA's Student-Advisory Council. The council is a 16-member group that provides feedback on issues impacting educational athletics from a student's perspective. The others selected to the council this year are Grace Beardley (Gladwin); Kaitlyn Bricker (Pellston); Nathan Eccles (Port Huron Northern); Alexis Mohney (Mattawan); Trevin Phillips (Caro); Isabella Santiago-Lindsay (North Muskegon); and Lance Wiltse (Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary).

Addisyn Lewis (Plymouth HS/Canton) is among five recruits — the only one from Michigan — who will join the Malone (Ohio) University women's soccer team this fall. Lewis played for the Wildcats soccer and basketball teams and also excelled academically as she was a four-year recipient of the Scholar-Athlete Award. She also earned the AP Scholar Award and was a member of the National Honor Society. Lewis plans to major in pre-law with a minor in finance.
Boston University's Justin Flynn (Rochester Hills/Brother Rice) set the 100-meter record in a gold-medal showing at the recent Patriot League championship meet with a time of 10.45. The time broke the BU school record of 10.48, set by both Cam Williams (2015) and Johann Jack (1998). Flynn also was a member of the 400-meter relay team that placed third, which also included former high school teammate Chiebuka Onwuzurike (Bloomfield Hills/Brother Rice). Flynn competed as a graduate student, while Onwuzurike completed his sophomore year with the Terriers.

Carlie Castiglione (Northville/Northville) is one of 10 women's soccer recruits for the University of Detroit Mercy. The 5-foot-8 goalie earned three varsity letters for the Mustangs and was credited with more than 225 career saves. Castiglione played club soccer with the Michigan Hawks, Jags and Rush and helped lead her team to the state semifinals. "Carlie is technically sounds and will add to our great goaltending group," U-D head coach Mike Lupenec said. "She is hard-working and very vocal and demands a lot out of her back line. She is also very good with her feet and plays out of the back well."

ZINIO is helping digital magazines contribute content for Apple News+
April 1, 2019 By Michael Kozlowski Leave a Comment
ZINIO, the leading technology platform for digital magazines, has partnered with top magazine publishers to digitally convert their print issues for the launch of the newly unveiled Apple News+, the new subscription service within the Apple News app that gives customers access to over 300 premium magazines and newspapers. Magazine titles that worked with ZINIO for the Apple News+ launch include Better Homes & Gardens, Travel + Leisure, People, Shape, Popular Science, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, Martha Stewart Living, Saveur, Motor Trend, Automobile, Adweek, The Week, Macworld, PC World, Real Simple, Food & Wine, Backpacker, Clean Eating, Yoga Journal, L'actualité, Wine Enthusiast, Outside, Gripped, Véro, Racer, and many others.
"Working with ZINIO to get Mother Jones on Apple News+ helped us to be there at launch time. The customized templates matched our unique design and the CMS integration to iCloud News Publisher was painless," said Claudia Smuckler, Production Director for Mother Jones. "By centralizing issue conversions with ZINIO, we can expect greater accuracy and efficiency in all our digital editions."
ZINIO's proprietary technology converted print magazine issues into Apple News Format (ANF), developed custom templates for the optimal presentation of magazine content for mobile devices, allowed publishers to edit their content for the Apple New channel, and pushed the content to Apple's News Publisher directly from ZINIO's Content Management System (CMS).
Song Yang, Digital Director for magazine Cowboys & Indians, added: "The visual design of C&I is an integral part of how we retain our loyal readers and continue to thrive as a magazine. Considering Apple's reputation for inspiring, user-friendly presentation, it feels natural to team up with ZINIO to be a part of Apple News+ from the beginning. ZINIO's creative team provided us with the Apple-friendly templates that would best display the magazine's content, and their technology team developed a CMS dashboard that connects directly to the new iCloud News Publisher with ease. The technical workflow process is frictionless and intuitive to navigate, which helps us to achieve smooth workflow and meet deadlines."
"At ZINIO, we are dedicated to optimizing the digital return on investment for publishers while giving consumers the best in class mobile reading experience for richly designed magazine content," said Rolf Rohwer, Senior Vice President of Product at ZINIO. "We are pleased to provide publishers with the technology to bring their content to Apple News+ and expand their distribution to a whole new audience of users."
Publishers have been inspired by the opportunity that Apple's new digital magazine platform presents. "The Hockey News is thrilled to be included in the launch of Apple News+, which has happened seamlessly thanks to our collaboration with ZINIO," said Erika Vanderveer, Creative Director for The Hockey News. "ZINIO provides support to convert our print magazine to digital, enabling us to easily feed it to our multiple platforms, including iCloud Publisher, the back-end CMS editor of Apple News+."
"ZINIO's 'Edit Once, Distribute Everywhere' technology solves the logistical challenges of a complex digital ecosystem with one streamlined workflow, unlocking new revenue and circulation opportunities for publishers," continued Rolf Rohwer, Senior Vice President of Product at ZINIO. "Our partnership with Apple News+ is simply an extension of this, as we continue to expand our distribution network to address the needs of our publishers in an ever-evolving digital landscape."

Odoo is the most popular all-in-one business software in the world. It offers a range of business applications including CRM, website, e-Commerce, billing, accounting, manufacturing, warehouse, project management, inventory and much more, all seamlessly integrated.
Odoo can be installed in several different ways. The easiest and quickest way to install Odoo is by using their official APT repositories.
If you want to have more flexibility such as running multiple Odoo versions on a same system then you can either use docker and docker compose or install Odoo in a virtual environment.
This tutorial covers the steps required for installing and configuring Odoo 12 for production using Git source and Python virtual environment on an Ubuntu 18.04 system.
You can use any name for your Odoo user as long you create a PostgreSQL user with the same name.
The wkhtmltox package provides a set of open source command line tools which can render HTML into PDF and various image formats. In order to print PDF reports, you will need the wkhtmltopdf tool. The recommended version for Odoo is 0.12.1 which is not available in the official Ubuntu 18.04 repositories.
We will install Odoo from the GitHub repository inside an isolated Python virtual environment.
If you encounter any compilation errors during the installation, make sure that you installed all of the required dependencies listed in the Before you begin section.
Do not forget to change the my_admin_passwd to something more secure.
To run Odoo as a service we need to create a service unit file in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory.
The output should look something like below indicating that Odoo service is active and running.
Domain name pointing to your public server IP. In this tutorial we will use example.com.
SSL certificate for your domain. You can install a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate .
The default Odoo web server is serving traffic over HTTP. To make our Odoo deployment more secure we will configure Nginx as a SSL termination proxy that will serve the traffic over HTTPS.
SSL termination proxy is a proxy server which handles the SSL encryption/decryption. This means that our termination proxy (Nginx) will handle and decrypt incoming TLS connections (HTTPS), and it will pass on the unencrypted requests to our internal service (Odoo) so the traffic between Nginx and Odoo will not be encrypted (HTTP).
Using a reverse proxy gives you a lot of benefits such as Load Balancing, SSL Termination, Caching, Compression, Serving Static Content and more.
In this example we will configure SSL Termination, HTTP to HTTPS redirection, WWW to non-WWW redirection, cache the static files and enable GZip compression.
Don't forget to replace example.com with your Odoo domain and set the correct path to the SSL certificate files. The snippets used in this configuration are created in this guide .
This step is optional, but it is a good security practice.
By default, Odoo server listens to port 8069 on all interfaces. If you want to disable direct access to your Odoo instance you can either block the port 8069 for all public interfaces or force Odoo to listen only on the local interface.
By default, Odoo is working in multithreading mode. For production deployments, it is recommended to switch to the multiprocessing server as it increases stability, and make better usage of the system resources. In order to enable multiprocessing we need to edit the Odoo configuration and set a non-zero number of worker processes.
The number of workers is calculated based on the number of CPU cores in the system and the available RAM memory.
Let's say we have a system with 4 CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM memory and 30 concurrent Odoo users.
Based on the calculation above we can use 5 workers + 1 worker for the cron worker which is total of 6 workers.
The calculation above show us that our Odoo installation will need around 2GB of RAM.
The rest of the system resources will be used by other services that run on this system. In this guide we installed Odoo along with PostgreSQL and Nginx on a same server and depending on your setup you may also have other services running on your server.
This tutorial walked you through the installation of Odoo 12 on Ubuntu 18.04 in a Python virtual environment using Nginx as a reverse proxy. You also learned how to enable multiprocessing and optimize Odoo for production environment.
You may also want to check our tutorial about how to create automatic daily backups of your Odoo databases.

Q: Qual a diferença entre os seletores "element element" e "element > element"? Estava olhando o código do Twitter Bootstrap, e encontrei este CSS:
.table-condensed > tfoot > tr > td {
  /* ... */
}

Em sentido de funcionamento, qual seria a diferença de colocar apenas um espaço entre os elementos, e colocar o >?

A: element element { ...
O espaço entre dois elementos do CSS é o seletor de descendente.
Descendente é qualquer elemento que se encontra declarado dentro de outro.
element > element { ...
O > entre dois elementos do css é o seletor de filho.
Filho também é descendente, mas é o "descendente direto" especificamente. Ou seja, está diretamente inserido no elemento anterior.
Na prática:
Quando você escreve div span { ... }, você está dizendo qualquer span descendente (dentro) do div, e atuando no span nos dois casos abaixo:

 bla bla

 bla bla

Agora, quando usa div > span { ... }, vai ter efeito em apenas filhos do div, como este:

 bla bla

Os atributos não vão ser aplicados em outros níveis de descendência, como neste caso:

 bla bla

Motivo: o  neste último caso é "neto" do
, ou seja, é descendente mas não é filho, pois o filho é o .
Veja o exemplo abaixo:

div span {
  text-decoration: underline
}

div>span {
  color: red
}

  Div 1
   Span 1

    Div 2
     Span 2

    Div 3
     Span 3

   Span 4

Notar que o sublinhado ficou em todos os spans, mas o vermelho somente quando o span é filho (descendente de primeiro nível) do div

Spring is almost here, time to get your garden gloves out. We have a great coastal DIY for you today, Terrariums!
• Select a glass container with a top. Container should be 4 times as high as it is wide.
1. Planting area should be about ¼ of the height of the container.
2. Layer container with materials 2-5 in that order.
3. Plant plants, the tallest in the center.
5. Cover the soil with pebbles or moss.
6. Seal terrarium with cover.
Whether you're building your own terrarium or buying one pre-assembled, the folks at Costa also provided some very practical tips for caring for it.
• If plants need more watering they will start to droop, this is your key to water your terrarium.


Students will learn how to play their favourite songs on guitar as well learn basics. From Chords to Scales, students will be taught the parts of the guitar. The goal of the class is to enhance your ability to play guitar and have fun while doing. I know how frustrating it can be to learn how to play an instrument. All it takes is motivation, effort and the desire to wish to play. By the of the course. Students will learn all the parts of the guitar, learn chords that are used in songs, as well as common licks and scales that are used. Tuning will also be taught.
What's up everyone? How are you guys? I'm a Mexican-American guitarist that loves to draw and talk talk to people. I can speak both English and Spanish but when I think, it's always in English. I go to San Jose community college and my major as of now is art. I also work part time at UPS. I'm a package handler there. Haha get it, package handler. Anyways, I plan and transferring to SJSU to further my education so that I can be successful in life. There is no reward without risk. If you really want to learn something, all it takes is the time and effort.


When the time comes where a minimum of $500,000 is required to take you new business venture to the next level, you will be in the market for either a bank loan or venture capitalist investors. In all likelihood, a VC investor will be your best bet on a new enterprise. Unlike a bank though, venture capitalists expect a piece of a company in return for their investment, as well as some other perks.
The first step in finding an investor is to launch an investigation to find investors who have a track record of investing in companies similar to yours. Some investors lean toward new products while others prefer to back new services; the stage of growth your company is at will make a difference as well. If possible, talk to companies that have been backed by the investors you have targeted. Use your contacts to gain an introduction. If an introduction cannot be arranged, then send a short proposal by email through the VC's website.
Once contacted, be certain you have an excellent sales pitch ready. Although some initial meets may last only 5 minutes, be prepared with material to last an hour. This is where they size you up. You have to sell yourself while selling your idea or product. A short slide show would be appropriate although you may not get a chance to show it. This first meeting is much like a first job interview, a weeding-out process. It is important not to look desperate. People who are a good risk are not supposed to look desperate. In order to make the cut you will have to show enthusiasm coupled with knowledge of your competition, market and client base.
If they are interested, the VC will want a full presentation where you will give them exact numbers and how you arrived at those numbers. This is when a full PowerPoint presentation will be needed. The presentation should last 60 to 90 minutes and detail your business plan, how much money you need, what the money will be used for and why your product or service will be in demand. If your product or service has competition, you will need to explain why yours is better or less expensive to produce.
It is important to show that your company can produce high yields for the investors. No matter how much they like you or how good your business plan, if you cannot show exponential growth you will be turned down. You need to show that investing with you will provide a return better than they can get elsewhere in the next 5 to 10 years.
After what may be months of interviews and negotiations, the VC firm will present you with a term sheet. Regardless of how much you want or even need the money, you must be certain the terms are ones you can live with. You are entering into a long-term contract, and before signing is the time to voice concerns. It is best to have not put all of your financing eggs in one basket and should have a second or third VC firm in the wings just in case.

How Your Teachers Lied to You
Unit #27 / 412 - Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site
Do you know who Sakakawea is?
I bet you do. Or you've at least put her coin in a vending machine.
Popularly recognized as Sacajawea (sa-ka-juh-wee-uh), she is perhaps the most famous of Native American women (OK, so you got a Disney movie, Pocahontas).
Though she wasn't known for painting with the colors of the wind, she is credited with making something quite difficult--would you like to cross the Rocky Mountains with no horses or knowledge of the area?--possible.
But it isn't just mountains which are important to this story.
In fact, the prairie plays a pivotal role in the Lewis & Clark expedition.
It was in this North Dakota prairie that these explorers met Toussaint Charbonneau, a Frenchman who had purchased a Shoshoni woman captured by another tribe five years earlier. That tribe was the Knife River Hidatsa, and that Shoshoni woman was Sakakawea--a phonetic spelling better representing the true pronunciation of her name; one which the state of North Dakota adopted as the official spelling of this famed Native American.
See: Lake Sakakawea in central North Dakota.
That history is preserved by present day Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, just south of Lake Sakakawea and on the banks of the upper Missouri River.
The Hidatsa tribe, who had lived in this area since 1,000 A.D., are now highlighted not only for their contribution to our understanding of prairie-dwelling Natives, but specifically for their earth mound homes. Their history can be absorbed in the park's museum with artifacts and tableaux, then visitors can stand in the exact spots these relics were excavated, these scenes took place, and where Sakakawea once lived.
With two main villages: a summer one at the top of a hill to view the bison herds' movements and a winter one in forested areas more protected from the constant prairie wind, these Natives created both large summer and smaller winter dwellings (to keep the heat in). With the biggest ones capable of housing horses inside, it was these earth mounds and the surrounding farm lands/river which allowed Natives to survive in a climate reaching both -40 F and 100 F.
Knowledge that eventually helped Lewis & Clark make it across the prairie, communicate with the Shoshoni tribes of the Rocky Mountains, reach the Pacific Ocean, and help create present day America.
And information translated to them through the Frenchman Toussaint and Sakakawea--who made the journey with her infant child (Did you have to carry a baby to England, Pocahontas?).
So though its small size and monotone vistas didn't elicit the same "wows" as my visit to Theodore Roosevelt National Park three hours west, Knife River serves as a place to teach us our history--and correct us when we've learned it wrong.

5 Knife River Highlights (You Can Do)!
1. Tour the Earth Mound
Large enough to fit horses inside, the NPS offers free Ranger-led tours on a by-request schedule.
2. The Village Trail
Take this short walk to see two previous village grounds, including the one where Sakakawea is believed to have lived.
3. Walk Along the Upper Missouri River
Having grown up in southeast Nebraska, where the Missouri River is large and rolling, it was peaceful to walk on the mowed Two Rivers Trail and imagine Hidatsa life on this waterway.
4. Tour the Museum
Watching the Visitor Center's video about Knife River and touring their exhibits helped these small earth dug-outs have more meaning, especially when we walked by the sites of excavation next to the Missouri River.
5. Make the Drive Part of the Experience
Knife River is in the dead center of North Dakota, so if you're going to drive all the way there, stop at one of these three attractions en route:
From the East: World's Largest Bison and Albino Bison
From Interstate-94 you'll notice the large bison sculpture near Jamestown. Pull over and you'll be rewarded with viewings of "Dakota Miracle," an albino bison and her--new--albino baby!
From the West: The Enchanted Highway
Just east of Dickinson, ND, on this road stretching from Gladstone to Regent, experience seven of the world's largest metal sculptures.
From NDTourism.com's "7 Ways to be Awed on the Enchanted Highway"
From the South: North Dakota Capitol
In 9th grade I had to retake the entire "States and Capitals" quiz only because I forgot the "C" in the spelling of Bismarck. I rectified this with a visit to North Dakota's capitol, which offers both free tours (for the frugal traveler) and free high-speed wi-fi (for the travel blogger).

Russian Choir Totally Owns Performance of 'Skyfall'
"Corporal, I order you to perform 'Skyfall' by Adele," is how we hope this awesome cover by a choir in the Russian army came to be.
Emerald Catron
Adele Wows
Here she is, the "unstoppable" Adele, performing the Oscar-nominated song 'Skyfall' at the 2013 Academy Awards. As you can see, she pretty much kills it. Although what do you expect from Adele? What do you think of her performance? Was it Oscar-worthy...
Watch Paul F. Tompkins Sing an Epic Version of 'Skyfall'

White House rides wave of good news after bruising several months
The White House is riding a wave of good news into the weekend after a bruising several months, touting 2021 economic growth, a surprisingly positive jobs report, a reduction in COVID cases and a successful counterterrorism mission taking out the leader of ISIS.
After months of grappling with plummeting approval ratings, a surge in cases of the highly-transmissible omicron variant of COVID-19, the Supreme Court blocking a COVID vaccine mandate, rising inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, unprecedented migration levels at the southern border and President Biden's Build Back Better agenda stalled in Congress, the first week in February offered some daylight for the Biden administration.
The president on Friday welcomed U.S. job growth soaring past expectations, adding 467,000 new jobs in January.

"America is back to work," the president said, after the Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report that payrolls in January rose, easily topping the 150,000 jobs gained forecast by Refinitiv economists.
"This morning's report caps off my first year as president, and over that period, our economy created 6.6 million jobs. Six-point-six million jobs," he said. "You can't remember another year when so many people went to work in this country — there's a reason. It never happened."
The jobs report came just a week after the gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, grew by 6.9% on an annualized basis in the three-month period from October through December, marking the strongest quarterly growth in a year.
The president said he is "proud" of the role his administration has played in the "economic recovery" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
And after weeks of surging cases of the omicron variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that cases of COVID-19 have eased, with the seven-day moving average falling to 596,860, down 20% from the prior week.
The administration, during the surge in December and early January, had been hit with a shortage of testing, but the Biden administration late last month began mailing tens of millions of at-home COVID-19 tests to American families, free of charge. Many Americans, though, have yet to receive the tests.
All this, after the president reported Thursday that U.S. military forces "successfully" moved in on the global leader of ISIS, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, also known as Haji Abdullah, who took over as the leader of the Islamic State in 2019 after the U.S. counterterrorism operation that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The U.S. Special Operations counterterrorism mission in northwest Syria Thursday killed Haji Abdullah in a mission that was "long planned" and on the level and scale of the U.S. operation to take out Usama bin Laden in 2011, senior administration officials told theNYC News.
Officials said al-Qurayshi detonated explosives, which killed himself, his wife and the children in their home. Officials added that they believe he purposedly lived in a building with many families not linked to ISIS.
Biden said Thursday he directed the Department of Defense to take "every precaution possible to minimize civilian casualties," noting that the special forces raid presented "a much greater risk to our own people" than an airstrike.
The president on Thursday addressed the nation and thanked U.S. forces, who he said "carried out the operation with their signature preparation and precision."
"This operation is a testament to America's reach and capability to take out terrorist threats, no matter where they try to hide, anywhere in the world," Biden said Thursday. "I'm determined to protect the American people from terrorist threats, and I'll take decisive action to protect this country."
Meanwhile, the president is also enjoying his first opportunity to appoint a justice to the Supreme Court after Justice Stephen Breyer announced last week his intent to retire at the end of the court's current term.
The impending vacancy provides Biden an opportunity to fulfill one of his campaign promises of nominating the first Black woman to serve as an associate justice on the Supreme Court.
The president this week said he hopes to work in a bipartisan manner and looks forward to the advice and consent of the Senate on his nomination, which he hopes to announce by the end of the month. He has promised the nominee will be a Black woman.
The president has been hit with criticism from Republicans for his promise, with some arguing it limits the pool of potential qualified nominees.
And an ABC News-Ipsos poll this week revealed that 76% of Americans wanted the president to consider all potential nominees to replace Breyer, with just 23% of Americans preferring he limit the list of nominees to Black women.
But the White House has been able to point to former Republican President Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign promise to appoint the first female to the high court, which Reagan ultimately did, tapping Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman to serve on the bench.
The White House has also been able to cast those Republican criticisms as hypocritical based on recent history, pointing to former President Trump's promise in September 2020 to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a woman. Trump later nominated Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed.
But the president's job rating has been underwater since October, with the most recent Fox News poll showing 47% of Americans approve and 52% disapprove of the job he's doing.
Biden also had what the media called a "week from hell" to kick off 2022.
That week was filled with Biden giving a speech to support Democratic voting rights bills, but comparing opponents to segregationists, news that the Supreme Court blocked his mandate to require large employers to vaccinate or test their workers for COVID-19 and decisions by moderate Democratic senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema that they would not vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster.
At that time, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll conducted Jan. 7-10, Biden's approval rating stood at just 33%, and his disapproval at 53%.
Despite the wave of good news, the White House is still grappling with the crisis at the U.S. southern border.
There were 178,840 migrant apprehensions at the border in December, after FY2021 saw approximately 1.7 million encounters overwhelming border authorities after Trump-era policies were rolled back in favor of a growing practice of releasing migrants into the U.S. interior.
The border numbers have led to intense Republican criticism about the purported failure of the Biden administration's focus on "root causes" of migration in Central America, with lawmakers pointing to the rapid rollback of Trump-era policies combined with a reduced interior enforcement and a push for mass amnesty for illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
And as the crisis moves into its second year, more foreign nationals continue to attempt to take advantage of what is perceived to be a porous situation and higher chances of being allowed into the U.S., with more coming from distant countries.
According to U.S. Border Patrol, agents recently apprehended individuals from Pakistan, Syria, China, Eritrea, Sudan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. And, according to official Customs and Border Protection data, there were thousands more migrants from India and hundreds from Turkey.
This week, the president admitted there was still "a lot to do" to resolve the situation on the border, and he doubled down on the administration's focus on "root causes" like poverty and corruption in Central America.
Beyond the border, the Biden administration is still grappling with ways to improve supply chain bottlenecks, as ports across the U.S. struggled to keep up with a surge in cargo that packed container yards and forced ships to wait at sea.
Ports have become one of many bottlenecks in global supply chains as ships have been filling up with boxes carrying everything from electronics to frozen chickens. The backlogs have been leading to empty shelves at stores.
As for inflation, wholesale prices rose at the fastest pace on record in December, the latest evidence that inflationary pressures are continuing to plague the U.S. economy.
The Labor Department said last month that its producer price index, which measures inflation at the wholesale level before it reaches consumers, surged 9.7% in December from the year-ago period. It marked the highest figure on record since the government began tracking the data in 2010.
And while millions of workers are seeing the largest pay gains in years, many of those gains have been eroded by the hottest inflation in nearly four decades, which has pushed the price of everyday necessities like gasoline, clothing and food significantly higher.
"I'm a capitalist, but capitalism without competition is not capitalism. It's exploitation," the president said during remarks touting the jobs numbers Friday.
"So I'm going to continue everything in my power to work with the Congress to make our capitalist system work better. Provide more competition and lower prices for American consumers."
The president added that the government needs to "ease the burden on working families by making everyday things more affordable and accessible."
"Look, average people are getting clobbered by the cost of everything. Gas prices at the pump are up. We're working to bring them down, but they're up," Biden said. "Food prices are up. And we're going to bring them down as well."
The president said his administration is going to "work to bring down the prices that are way up" and continue "strengthening the supply chain to bring down the cost of all of these goods."

Crystal Castles - Amnesty (I)
It's not a bad album, it just pales in comparison to what came before.
Published: 8:49 am, August 18, 2016
Label: Fiction Records
Released: August 19th 2016
The extent to which people will be concerned with the sonic output of Crystal Castles mk 2.0 remains to be seen. It seems inevitable that Alice Glass' departure from the duo - replaced with new vocalist Edith Frances - will dominate any and all narratives for the foreseeable future.
Despite their best efforts, it's easy to see why too. While 'Amnesty (I)' has enough of the Crystal Castles DNA to carry the name, it lacks the aggressive intensity to live up to the spirit. A song titled 'Sadist' should never result in a limp fade, while too often tracks feel thinly stretched.
It's not a bad album, it just pales in comparison to what came before. Stephen Ackroyd

Tarongers will choose the project for the refurbishment of the Campus
For the first time in the history of the Universitat de València, the university community will decide how its Campus will be refurbished. Three projects selected by a committee of experts will be exhibited in the buildings of the faculties of the university campus, which can be voted between 19 September and 19 October.
During the process of elections to the Office of the Principal, the candidacy led by the current principal, Mª Vicenta Mestre, proposed a renovation of the Tarongers Campus to make it more sustainable and adapted to the needs of development of activities and the daily life of the university community.
In this commitment to refurbish the Campus, result of the meetings held with the four faculties of the campus (Social Sciences, Law, Economics and Teacher Training) to analyse and design the needs of spaces on the campus as a whole, was the commitment of the UV government team to submit the different projects to the consideration of the people who carry out their lives and activities on the campus.
On Monday 19 September, the Principal presented the three finalist projects of the selection process at an event held at the Faculty of Teacher Training.
The university community of the Tarongers Campus will receive an email with a unique link for personal voting to express their preference for one of the three finalist proposals: Hèspera, Obrint Pas or Trencant en Verd.
Voting will take place between 19 September and 19 November and the projects can be consulted both in the lobbies of the departmental buildings of each of the university faculties and through the following links:
https://www.uv.es/corporate/hespera.pdf
https://www.uv.es/corporate/obrint-pas.pdf
https://www.uv.es/corporate/trencant-en-verd.pdf
For the first time ever, users will decide the future of their campus
For the first time in the history of the Universitat de València, the university community will have the opportunity to vote on the renovation project to be carried out on the campus where it develops its activities.
Through an electronic voting system, the entire university community of the Tarongers Campus (students, Administration and Services Staff, Trainee Research Staff, Research and Teaching Staff) will be able to exercise their right to vote.
The more than 18,000 people who will be able to vote will receive an email with a single-use, personal link that will allow them to express their choice in favour of one of the three selected proposals.
3 projects selected by a group of experts
The Universitat de València held a call for ideas on 24 March to receive different project proposals.
The aim of this competition was to receive proposals for the integral design and master plan for the landscaping of the Tarongers Campus.
The competition has three prizes of 8,000, 4,000 and three mentions of 2,000 euros for the selected projects.
In the end, three projects were selected by the jury, chaired by the Vice-Principal for Economics and Infrastructures, Justo Herrera, with the participation of the dean of the Campus and the Faculty of Teacher Training, Ana Botella, as secretary, as well as a total of thirteen members, including the deans of the Tarongers Campus, the head of the Campus Unit, the director and deputy director of the UV Technical Unit and the head of the University Maintenance Service, the director of the University Botanical Garden, the assistant manager and people proposed by the School of Architecture of València, the College of Architects and the City Council.
