Another RA Director Resigns
The Reston Association Board of Directors selected Sridhar Ganesan (center) as its new treasurer on Thursday, May 25. He replaced Dannielle LaRosa, former North Point District director, who resigned from the board in April and resigned from her position as treasurer in May. Photo courtesy of the Reston Association

Former At-Large Director Eve Thompson
Reston Association At-Large Director Eve Thompson resigned from the association's board of directors on Tuesday, June 6, almost two years before her term was to expire in April 2019.
This is the second director to resign from the RA Board this year. In December 2016, former North Point District Director Dannielle LaRosa announced that she would resign her seat in April 2017, exactly two years before her term was to expire in April 2019.
LaRosa's seat was added to the spring RA election, where Restonians were invited to vote for three other open seats held by directors who completed their full terms.
Prior to the election, contentious conversations between board members pushed meetings well beyond their scheduled times, some lasting beyond midnight. Meetings were also plagued with raucous relations between board members and the constituents they serve and the association's staff, as the board grappled with transparency and ethics issues, and a scandal over the association's handling of the Lake House.
The spring 2017 election was expected to shake up the leadership and give the RA Board a clean slate needed to move forward and shepherd recommended changes resulting from a probe into the Lake House controversy.
RA CEO Cate Fulkerson spoke about the need of establishing a "solid foundation" with her new board during the RA's 2017 Annual Members Meeting in April where election results were announced.
THOMPSON'S IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION was given in an email to Fulkerson on Tuesday, June 6, according to RA Spokesperson Mike Leone.
While LaRosa attributed her premature exit from the board to the mounting time commitment needed for the job and her desire to spend more of her time with her three young children who are still living at home, Thompson's reasoning was more condemning.
Though the board changeover was significant — four new members were elected to the nine-member board and there was a complete shuffling of the board's officer positions — Thompson doubted the board's ability to govern and make decisions.
"It just made sense," said Thompson, who runs her own Long and Foster Realtors practice and owns the newly-renovated Lake Anne Coffee House and Wine Bar in the village center with her husband. "It's a lot of balls to keep in the air. If you're not able to be productive [as a board member of the RA], then there's not a lot of point to it."
The Lake House controversy had much to do with Thompson's reasoning.
"What happened is a bunch of people who were vehemently opposed to the Lake House are now on the board, and some of them are convinced that something untoward happened, which clearly has been demonstrated that it's not the case," she said.
To the surprise of many in the community, the report resulting from a probe conducted by the StoneTurn Group found no conflicts of interest associated with the Lake House throughout the RA's voter referendum, property acquisition or renovation.
Many in the community, including the Reston 20/20 Committee and Sridhar Ganesan, CEO of Mediaworld Ventures, LLC and president of the Reston Citizens Association, questioned the authenticity of the probe, citing the RA had too much control over the independent investigation.
Ganesan, whose company was initially selected to conduct the investigation, took issue with the contract for the job. He and his company withdrew from negotiations to perform the work in January, telling the Connection that the RA's contract was "restrictive, affecting independence." He also said the contract was "punitive."
Fast forward to a month after the RA spring election and Ganesan was selected as the RA Board's new treasurer on Thursday, May 25.
"It's very easy to complain and to obstruct and to stomp your feet and say no, it's a whole other thing to try and make productive things happen," Thompson said. "It's a whole other thing to try and govern."
Thompson was also referring to a kerfuffle she had with the community earlier this year when RA member Ed Abbott filed a complaint against her in February.
Abbott's complaint stated that Thompson's conflicts of interests on file with the RA failed to disclose her ownership of the Lake Anne Coffee House and Wine Bar and her husband Rick Thompson's position as president of the Lake Anne of Reston Condominium Association.
The complaint was filed against Eve Thompson after she made favorable public remarks about her husband's proposal for the RA to help LARCA revitalize the Lake Anne Dock, an RA property. This proposal was presented to the RA Board during a public meeting on Jan. 22.
Her affiliations were not secret. For instance, Rick Thompson went on record with the Connection in an article about the Lake Anne Dock revitalization that published on Jan. 25, where he was attributed as Eve's husband and the ownership of their Lake Anne business was listed. His interview was conducted well before the Jan. 22 meeting.
Still, her comments rubbed some community members the wrong way because she did not formally disclose her affiliations during the Jan. 22 meeting when the proposal was on the agenda.
SINCE THEN, all RA capital projects and ideas for new projects have been frozen while the association determines how to update its policies and procedures in accordance with the Lake House probe's recommendations, rendering the idea to make changes to the dock dead in the water.
Instead, the RA will just remove sediment and replace the dock like-for-like as a maintenance project.
In the meantime, Thompson hopes the RA will conduct a call for candidates to fill her seat.
"You're sure that you're getting people who are interested and not just recruiting sort of cronies for the seat, and that way you get a completely transparent process," she said. "That's what should happen."
Discussion about the process for filling Thompson's at-large seat will be discussed by the RA Board Operations Committee on Monday, June 12, after deadline for this paper. In a press statement, Fulkerson also said the matter will be discussed during the regular June 22 meeting of the association's board.
"I wish them all the very, very best and I have to trust that — like me — they all want the best for Reston," Thompson said.

Combine berries, sugar and tea into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until berries have broken down. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer (use a rubber spatula to press through). Transfer to a shallow glass container (such as a 9x13x2 inch baking dish); allow to cool slightly, then place in the freezer. Once the mixture begins to freeze, scrape with a fork to create ice crystals every 30 minutes until mixture is completely frozen. To serve, spoon into cups and top with a light dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Kenya Prepares to Host International HIV Conference
Kenya is preparing to host a conference on AIDS in Africa that is expected to attract thousands of delegates from various fields to discuss prevention, treatment, and counseling.
The chairman of the International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa, Dr. Dundu Owili, says the response to this year's ICASA conference is overwhelming.
"Today, I am telling you, it is just impossible: so many people ringing, coming up, even those who did not want to come are now coming to register again," he said. "That is why we have clocked 6,000 [delegates] today."
Every two years, the conference brings together African scientists, government officials, healthcare workers, and other AIDS experts to share ideas and experiences concerned with the fight against AIDS and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Statistics from U.N.-AIDS paint a grim picture. About 28.5 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV/AIDS, with 11 million children across the continent being orphaned by AIDS. It is projected that, from the year 2000 to 2020, 55 million Africans will have died earlier than they otherwise would.
This year, the conference is being held in Nairobi from September 21-26, and is being co-hosted by ICASA and the Kenyan government. The theme is, Access to Care: Challenges.
Dr. Owili says the agenda includes access to anti-retroviral drugs and drugs for opportunistic infections, vaccine trials, counseling and how to encourage African governments to take a more active role in controlling the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa.
But Dr. Owili says this year's conference is unique.
"We have now invited more people suffering from HIV and AIDS than before, they are given scholarships, and they are coming to attend the conference," said Dr. Owili. "We have a youth forum, which is very important. Secondly, we have actually invited the first ladies. If they actually come [to] such a conference, they can easily sensitize, they can easily disseminate information."
A group of more than a dozen American delegates canceled because of a U.S. government advisory against traveling to Kenya due to the high risk of a terrorist attack. Kenya's officials disagree with the advisory.
The Ministry of Tourism and Information's deputy secretary, Henry Mung'asia, says he hopes the conference will help boost tourism and show the world Kenya is a safe place to visit. "There is no need for them to cancel," Mr. Mung'asia. "They are coming to the conference because the security situation in this country right now is normal. The government has put in place a lot of security measures to ensure that all the delegates attending the conference are safe."
He says some of these measures include beefed up security at airports and police presence in the streets.

The 10 Most Powerful Queens In the Marvel Universe
As we all know, the Marvel Universe is filled all sorts of powerful characters. Those powers derive from all kinds of places - suits of armors, experimental government serums, plain old mythological magic, genetics, radioactive spiders, cosmic tinkering; basically, if you can think up how someone got their powers, chances are that Marvel has already put that way to good use. Sometimes, our favorite heroes and villains get power the old-fashioned way. They're born into it, or they take it!
The Marvel Universe is filled with all sorts of kingdoms and empires, both terrestrial and intergalactic; Wakanda, Atlantis, Asgard, and the Shi'ar Empire to name a few. Someone has to rule them, it might as well be a benevolent queen. At the very least, a queen ruling besides her king as an equal. Priestesses, empresses, even drag queens, the Marvel Universe has all sorts of regal royal ladies. Here are The 10 Most Powerful Queens In the Marvel Universe.
RELATED: A-Force: 10 Most Powerful Members Of The All-Female Avengers Team
10 Storm
Although she was born a tribal princess in Kenya, Storm had to grow up living the hard life on the streets of Harlem and Cairo as a pickpocket. She was always a natural born leader despite the rough upbringing. She once bested Cyclops in a battle to decide who would lead the X-Men, and she didn't have her powers!
She rose through the ranks of the X-Men to become one of the most respected leaders any roster ever had. For a brief time, she was even married to T'Challa, making her the Queen Of Wakanda.
9 Medusa
As Queen of the Inhumans, Medusa is not only married to one of the most powerful men in the MCU (Black Bolt), she presides over one of the most powerful groups of super-powered characters, second only to the X-Men.
Her husband can destroy existence with his voice and she can use her hair as a weapon. Together, they have developed their own language so that she can not only understand Black Bolt but so she can deliver his royal edicts. The ABC miniseries did not do her justice, hopefully, one day the MCU will give the Inhumans and Medusa a proper cinematic version.
8 Shuri
As the Princess Of Wakanda, Shuri stole the show in 2018's Black Panther movie, not only as a brash and braggadocios teen but as someone as technologically gifted as Tony Stark.
RELATED: The 10 Most Powerful Female X-Men
In the comics as Queen, she commanded the vastly technologically superior Wakandan army. But she didn't do a whole lot different than T'Challa. That didn't make her any less powerful or an effective ruler. She was just trying to right by her brother.
7 Jane Foster
During "Original Sin," Fury whispers something to Thor and he no longer has the ability to wield his hammer. Jane Foster was diagnosed with cancer, simultaneously, picked up Mjolnir and the throne of Asgard.
Naturally, Jane is not only worthy of the power of Thor, but it saves her life for a time. As the Goddess Of Thunder, she also ruled Asgard. She was even able to defeat Dr. Doom and serve as a worthy teammate of the Avengers.
6 Valkyrie
Valkyrie not only was able to steal the show in Thor: Ragnarok, she was able to hold her own in battle against Thor. As Thor struggled to regain his confidence during Avengers: Endgame, he was living the life of a stereotypical "geek" living at home with his parents and drinking and playing video games.
RELATED: 10 Comics by Female Authors You Should Be Reading
But Valkyrie was holding New Asgard together. It came as no surprise that when Thor decided to travel with the Guardians Of The Galaxy, there was no other choice for Queen than Valkyrie.
5 Lilandra
There are many different intergalactic species and empires in the Marvel Universe, but none are so intertwined with the X-Men than the Shi'ar Empire and their Queen Lilandra. In fact, it's almost a crime that she hasn't been brought to the big screen yet, considering her connection to the Phoenix.
Not to mention putting Reed Richards on trial for saving Galactus. Or being Xavier's wife! Not only is she one of the strongest Queens on this list, but she's also one of the few empresses of an empire NOT trying to conquer Earth.
4 Veranke
Veranke is the Queen Of The Skrull Empire. Not only does she believe that Earth is to become the new Skrull homeworld, she is primarily responsible for the entire Secret Invasion storyline, and had an unseen hand in plenty of events prior to the Skrull Invasion. She debuted in the debut issue of New Avengers, disguised as Spider-Woman.
RELATED: 10 Best Female Superhero Movies
Three years later, her ruse would finally be revealed that she was a Skrull. It would take the combined effort of many of Marvel's heroes to defeat her.
3 Adriana Soria
Every so often, someone starts writing some really strange Spider-Man stories. Enter Adriana Soria, the Spider-Queen. A former US soldier who went insane due to radiation poisoning, and resurfaced years later as some sort of Spider-God.
She had the ability to control humans and especially people like Peter Parker, who have the 'spider-gene.' Working with the Jackal, thanks to Soria, Manhattan becomes "Spider-Island" for a time.
2 Iranda
Somewhere in arctic, as Deadpool once said, "superheroes go to get eaten by dinosaurs in Savage Land." One of the many tribes that live here are the Lizard-Men and they're ruled by Queen Iranda.
She has a brief history in the MCU, primarily dealing with Ka-Zar, but some writers love to dig deep for inspiration. A Queen who controls primordial lizards and dinosaurs would be a force to be reckoned with.
1 Shade
In one of the progressive moves comics have ever done, this year the MCU introduced Shade into the mix of Iceman comics. Darnell Wade, aka Shade is a different kind of Queen - a Drag Queen.
Her powers are pretty cool, she can enter a pocket dark dimension with a flick of her fans. We haven't seen much of Shade just yet, but as the Mutants are back cinematically with Disney; there's no telling to how much more the writers are going to use her.

Fremantle partners with Arvato to deliver financial automation drive
Business process outsourcing (BPO) partner Arvato has secured a two-year agreement with Fremantle to use automation technology to transform the media company's finance department.
The arrangement will see Arvato roll out its ProcessAutomate solution, which combines the business's media sector expertise with robotic process automation (RPA) technology, to deliver an end-to-end managed service agreement for Fremantle. This will include the set-up, optimisation, maintenance, monitoring and reporting.
Headquartered in London, Fremantle is one of the largest and most successful creators, producers and distributors of scripted and unscripted content in the world. From Got Talent to My Brilliant Friend, The X Factor to The Young Pope, Idols to American Gods, The Price is Right to The Apprentice and Neighbours – they are behind the world's most-loved and most-watched shows.
The agreement follows a successful pilot for two of the business's financial reporting processes, which cut the time required to produce hedging analysis for the London based divisions and monthly producer share reports for each of the 30 territories in the company's network by 82% and 99% respectively. This will result in saving Fremantle over 300 hours per year in manually processing reporting data on these two processes alone.
Fremantle says the introduction of automation technology, which will also ensure 100 per cent accuracy, will play a key role in helping it leverage innovation to streamline the data gathering and analysis process.
The new contract represents an end-to-end managed service agreement which will include the set-up, optimisation, maintenance, monitoring and reporting. The technology works by using software to create an agile, virtual workforce able to mimic human processing of repetitive, labour-intensive tasks. It follows rule-based business processes and interacts with systems in the same way that people do.
Andrew Bott, CFO at Fremantle said: "Our partnership with Arvato will play a central role in transforming our financial services operations. Our people sit at the heart of what we do and this technology will not only help us in streamlining our reporting processes, but give hours back to our teams by removing the burden of data gathering. The pilot project produced significant results for our business and so we're looking forward to working with Arvato to explore more processes and making further improvements."
Debra Maxwell, CEO at Arvato CRM Solutions, said: "Businesses are focusing on how they can deliver big gains in productivity by making small, incremental changes to their operations. Technology is providing the answer and our partnership with Fremantle shows how a managed RPA service with the right partner can transform back office processes, without the need for infrastructure investment. We're excited to see the efficiencies we can deliver in other areas of the business.
Arvato is a trusted partner to both the public and private sector, providing RPA solutions that enable back-office teams to make transformative efficiency savings across their operations.
Also part of the Bertelsmann Group, the business employs 1,500 people across eight locations in the UK and has more than 50 years' experience in designing and delivering innovative, individual solutions for some of the most respected global consumer brands.

SHANGLA: The district education department Shangla has launched enrollment campaign in the district, during the enrollment campaign out of schools children will be enrolled in the primary schools.
The enrollment campaign was launched here at a ceremony held Government Primary School Alpuri, No, 1 at district headquarters on Tuesday, where deputy commissioner Shangla Fayaz Sherpaw was chief guest. District education officer (Male) Muhammad Ameen and (Female) Parven Rehman, ADC, SDOs, LG members, village secretaries, PTC office bearers, teachers, civil society members and parents were in attendance. An awareness walk was also carried out in this regard in which the participants marched in the different streets of Alpuri to create awareness about the education and enrollment campaign among the public.
While, Addressing the campaign launching ceremony, DC Shangla Fayaz Sherpaw, urged the local people to end discrimination between the girls and boys and must enroll their girl children under age 5-7 in the nearby primary school, because girls could bring development revaluation in the district through education.
He asked village secretaries, revenue officials to cooperate with the education department in their respective areas and identify out of school children and get them enrolled in the respective primary schools.
DC assured the education department all sort of support in the enrollment campaign, while stressed on LG members and parents to play their role in enrollment campaign and enroll more and more children in the schools.
DEO, Muhammad Ameen, said, although Shangla is improving in the education but need more work with a passion because progress of the areas is possible with only education.
He claimed that government had brought reforms in the education and providing facilities in government schools, especially provision of books and improvements.
"There is a high number of out of school children in the district, they all should be enrolled in the schools for which they have set a target of 12000 children to be enrolled in this campaign," the DEO added.
DEO, Female, Parveen Rehman appealed the Shangla local people to come out and enroll their girls out of schools, because the ratio of girl education in the district is still regretful, only 17000 girls are enrolled comparatively the boys which number is about 100,000.
She said, as per ratio they have set a target of 1700 girls enrollment in the current drive.


The Super League has gifted fans with the ultimate grudge match in their opening game of the 2019 season, as St Helens host Wigan Warriors in Thursday night's curtain raiser.
It will be a new-look Wigan side that make the trip to Langtree Park this week from the one that lifted the Super League trophy back in October.
Head coach Shaun Wane has moved on to pastures new with the Scottish Rugby Union, while star backs Sam Tomkins and John Bateman have also found new challenges at different clubs.
Saints, although without last season's Man of Steel Ben Barba, are a much more settled outfit and will be looking to right the wrongs of last season.
This will of course be another fiery affair, but Justin Holbrook's side might be able to edge this one and secure the bragging rights on home soil against the reigning champions.
Leeds endured a season to forget in 2018 as they suffered their now trending slump after winning the Super League title the year before.
The same occurred in 2016 after they won the treble the previous season but the Rhinos have a knack of bouncing back.
A return for skipper and star centre Kallum Watkins from injury will give the side a huge lift, while Tui Lolohea, Konrad Hurrell and Trent Merrin have all bolstered the Leeds squad from the NRL.
Added to that new coach Dave Furner at Headingley, Leeds might just be able to get off to a flying start when they make the trip to Warrington on Saturday.
It will be a tough ask on the road against last season's grand finalists, but Leeds might be able to jump on any hangover the Wire have after last year's efforts to reach Old Trafford.
Alex Jack As a regular at Murrayfield and Headingley, Alex's knowledge of both Rugby Union and Rugby League is undoubted. He also takes in plenty of Football League action and particularly specialises in Championship betting.

All sets will feature music by a band hilariously unembarrassed to squeeze its loyal, moneyless fans during an economic apocalypse.

"I have read that with Bluetooth cans, you may notice degradation in sound quality ."
"I think the value is there if you're looking for a quality Bluetooth headphone that will deliver excellent sound across most genres, is comfortable to wear and light, has dependable Bluetooth connectivity, isn't too large, and has decent NC functionality."
"There is however one problem with using Bluetooth: When watching movies in Bluetooth connection mode, the audio is lagging slightly (maybe 0.1-0.2s) behind video."
"Excellent Bluetooth NC Headphones for the price!"
"I have been looking for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones for a while that would not break the bank, and I found them in them in the MDR ZX 770DC!"
"Love that I can use it as a wired as well as bluetooth headphones, and with or without noise cancelling in either mode."
"However, its difficult to find good noise cancelling AND bluetooth."
"Finally, the noise cancellation is excellent (press the NC button to analyze the surrounding noise and automatically choose the optimal noise cancellation mode) and Bluetooth works great with my iPhone."
"Noise reduction on airplane is terrible."
"The NC headphone does a good job in getting rid of the low-frequency noise, but is ineffective in the high-frequency range."
"Probably the only one in the market with great sound quality and decent noise cancelling."
"The sound is great and the noise cancelling is even better."
"there are 3 of them (read the Help Guide on line), as out-of-the box, they are set at the lowest sound quality and will not sound very good."
"Build quality seems good but not great."
"- Sound quality: Excellent in my opinion!"
"Build quality: They seem pretty sturdy and well-built to me."
"Note: You need to set these to the highest sound quality compatible with your device ."
"The sound quality is good, the NC works well, they are comfortable."
"I picked the MDR-ZX770DC model specifically based on other reviews and the fact that it has a superior quality compared to MDR-ZX770BN."
"this product is very good, not only for its battery, comfort, sound quality,easy to use."
"I have a problem with the sound changing on these using my Chrome Browser Version 43.0.2357.130 (64-bit) and ITunes 12.2.25, The volume, and balance changes when I browse from one site to another, from a good sound to a tiny sound, over my bluetooth play to the phones."
"But it does not work well on office conversations or high-pitch sounds such as siren."
"As I write this, I'm listening to a song that has a lot of deep base in it and it sounds pretty darn GREAT!"
"The sound and NC seems to work well."

How The Government Shutdown Affects Health Programs
Nurse Leader Insider, January 3, 2019

This article first appeared on Kaiser Health News.
By Shefali Luthra
There seems to be no end in sight for the current partial government shutdown, the third since the beginning of the Trump administration.
For the vast majority of the federal government's public health efforts, though, it's business as usual.
That's because Congress has already passed five of its major appropriations bills, funding about three-fourths of the federal government, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
But seven bills are outstanding — including those that fund the Interior, Agriculture and Justice departments — and that puts the squeeze on some important health-related initiatives.
The shutdown itself is not about health policies. It's the result of differences of opinion between the administration and congressional Democrats regarding Trump's so-called border wall. But it's far-reaching, nonetheless. Here's where things stand:
Funding for "big-ticket" health programs is already in place, alleviating much of the shutdown's immediate potential impact.
Since HHS funding is set through September, the flagship government health care programs — think Obamacare, Medicare and Medicaid — are insulated.
That's also true of public health surveillance, like tracking the flu virus, a responsibility of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The National Institutes of Health, which oversees major biomedical research, is also fine. It's a stark contrast to last January's shutdown, which sent home about half of HHS' staff.
But some other public health operations are vulnerable because of complicated funding streams.
Although the Food and Drug Administration falls under the HHS umbrella, it receives significant funding for its food safety operations through the spending bill for the Department of Agriculture, which is entirely caught up in the shutdown.
Last year, that tallied an estimated $2.9 billion to support among other things these FDA oversight efforts, which involve everything from food recalls to routine facility inspections and cosmetics regulation. Not having those dollars now means, according to the FDA contingency plan, that about 40 percent of the agency — thousands of government workers — is furloughed.
The FDA's responsibilities for drug approval and oversight are funded by user fees and are generally not affected. Regulation of tobacco products is also continuing.
Health services for Native Americans are also on hold.
Because Congress has yet to approve funding for the Indian Health Service, which is run by HHS but gets its money through the Department of the Interior, IHS feels the full weight of the shutdown. The only services that can continue are those that meet "immediate needs of the patients, medical staff, and medical facilities," according to the shutdown contingency plan.
That includes IHS-run clinics, which provide direct health care to tribes around the country. These facilities are open, and many staffers are reporting to work because they are deemed "excepted," said Jennifer Buschik, an agency spokeswoman. But they will not be paid until Congress and the administration reach a deal.
Other IHS programs are taking a more direct hit. For example, the agency has suspended grants that support tribal health programs, as well as preventive health clinics run by the Office of Urban Indian Health Programs.
Public health efforts by Homeland Security and the EPA face serious constraints.
The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Health Affairs assesses threats posed by infectious diseases, pandemics and biological and chemical attacks. It is supposed to be scaling back, according to the department's shutdown contingency plan. This office is just one component of the 204-person Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, which is retaining about 65 employees during the funding gap.
Other DHS health workers are likely to work without pay — for instance, health inspectors at the border, said Peter Boogaard, who was an agency spokesman under the Obama administration. According to DHS' plan, the vast majority of border patrol employees will continue working through the shutdown.
The Environmental Protection Agency has also run out of funding. According to its contingency plan, it's keeping on more than 700 employees without pay, including those who work on Superfund sites or other activities where the "threat to life or property is imminent." (More than 13,000 EPA workers have been furloughed.)
That limits the agency's capacity for activities including inspecting water that people drink and regulating pesticides.
But it's not just regulation. The public health stakes are visceral — and sometimes, frankly, pretty gross.
Just look at the National Park Service, which has halted restroom maintenance and trash service for lack of funding. On Sunday, Yosemite National Park in California closed its campgrounds. On Wednesday, Joshua Tree National Park, also in California, did the same.
Why? Per a park service press release: "The park is being forced to take this action for health and safety concerns as vault toilets reach capacity."

It won't be long until voters will again head to the polls for state and federal general elections and decide races in Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne and Eagleville. Voters in Murfreesboro will decide who will fill the City Council seat left vacant with the election of Toby Gilly to General Sessions Judge, Part III. Bill Shacklett and Bill Jones have already announced intentions to run. Others have until Wednesday, September 10th to qualify.
Other municipal elections include mayor and council seats in Smyrna, La Vergne and Eagleville. Area voters will also vote yes or no on the sale of wine in grocery stores, on giving lawmakers more power to regulate abortion in Tennessee and the power to approve or reject gubernatorial appointments to the state's appellate courts.
State and federal elections include locally the Fourth District U.S. Congressional race between Republican incumbent Scott DesJarlais and Democratic challenger Lenda Sherrell along with independent candidate Robert Doggert.
There are two contested races for state House of Representatives seats in the 48th and 49th Districts. Republican Brian Terry won his party's nomination to replace Joe Carr. He'll face off against William Campbell. Republican Mike Sparks in District 49 will face Democrat Mike Williams. This same match up occurred two years ago.

Federal Court Order Reinforces TRX's Signature Patents for Future Infringement Cases
In mid-December, a judgment in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois validated three signature elements of TRX's Suspension Trainer technology. The ruling will help TRX thwart infringement by sellers on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, according to a media release from TRX.
Club Industry staff | Dec 20, 2019
A new federal court order has given San Francisco-based TRX greater legal grounds on which the company can enforce its signature equipment patents and trademarks.
In mid-December, a judgment in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois validated three signature elements of TRX's Suspension Trainer technology. This includes its door anchor, foot pedal and handle grip combination, and its inelastic utility strap.

The ruling will help TRX thwart alleged instances of infringement by sellers on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, according to a Dec. 18 media release from TRX.
"This order is a big win for brand innovators and customers alike, and it continues to put the fraudsters and cheaters in not only the fitness industry but the broader universe on notice," TRX founder Randy Hetrick said in the release. "We and other brands like TRX have spent significant capital to develop the market and invest in research, product innovation and consumer education, and it is important that impostors are eliminated for the safety of consumers. Infringement is a broader public policy issue, and I'm hopeful that Amazon will continue to be a leader in helping enforce this and allow entrepreneurs like myself to capitalize on our efforts."
In the release, TRX President John Hutchison echoed Hetrick's statement, adding that the judgment will improve the speed and success rate of any future lawsuits against counterfeiters.
"Moving forward, [this] provides us with further ammunition to pursue and effectively eliminate the countless number of counterfeiters who are duping consumers with unreliable, and often dangerous, 'knock offs' of TRX products," Hutchison said. "It also gives us confidence that we can continue investing in future innovations and protect our hard work and ingenuity."
In January 2019, TRX recapitalized its business through a strategic growth capital investment from private equity firm Equity38, Newport Beach, California. Equity38 structured its investment as a management buyout of TRX's previous investors with the aim of maintaining TRX's existing infrastructure while lending TRX the resources to further develop its brand and footprint.

Hybrid Imperia GT
Thread Starter visran
visran
Imperia Automobiles, a new and ambitious carmaker from Belgium, is working on a retro-looking hybrid GT designed to show that "a socially- and environmentally-responsible approach does not rule out the finer pleasures in life."
The Imperia GT will be powered by a so-called PowerHybrid propulsion system consisting of a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine, which provides 211 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260Nm. An electric motor provides an additional 100kW (136hp) and 300Nm of power. In all-electric mode, the Imperia GT should have a range of 70km. In hybrid mode, the car has an average fuel consumption of 1.9 liter per 100km and an emission level of less that 50 grams per kilometer.
According to the carmaker, the Imperia GT will also be the only hybrid car that can be recharged from the mains, via a power socket. The price of refuelling is also quite interesting. Imperia's website states that "full charge is obtained in 4h30, for an unbeatable cost per kilometre ratio (€ 0.034/km on day tariff, € 0.016/100 km on night tariff)."
As for its performance, the GT accelerates from standstill to 100km/h in 6.0 seconds in purely electric mode, and in 4.0 seconds in hybrid mode. At this stage there is not information regarding its top speed.
The development mule of the Imperia GP has been tested already. The car is scheduled to enter the market later this year for an estimated price tag of €90,000.

Meet The MBA Class Of 2023: Amy Xu, Harvard Business School
by: Jeff Schmitt on September 26, 2021 | 0 Comments Comments | 2,891 Views
Amy Xu
"I always try to spark changes that end up at least sometimes good."
Hometown: Plano, Texas / Hangzhou, China
Fun Fact About Yourself: When I volunteered in the Andean mountains of Peru, the only way to reach some villages during rainy season was by horse. One ride, I likely saved my life by jumping off a running horse, when it saw a herd of wild horses and suddenly chased after them at full gallop. Adding salt to injury, I later had to spend hours finding the horse since I had borrowed him.
Undergraduate School and Major: Bachelor of Business Administration & Master of Public Accounting from University of Texas at Austin
Most Recent Employer and Job Title: BOGE Rubber & Plastics Group – Head of Strategy
What word best describes the Harvard Business School students and alumni you've met so far and why? I would say the recurring theme is that there's not one way to describe everyone I've met so far. I encounter people with vastly different personalities, backgrounds, and aspirations daily. What is fascinating is that I also don't sense pressure to conform to a single quality – people know themselves well and are steadfast in their own pursuit. It is quite inspiring to hang out with such a crowd as it gives me courage to be myself and stay true to my goals.
What makes the case method so attractive as a means to learn and become a better manager? In my job in corporate strategy, I'm constantly selling my view and ideas to internal and external stakeholders (company executives, shareholder, investors etc.); I found that the ability to quickly and articulately communicate a view in simple words is crucial. Additionally, the problems in the cases are like the problems we face in the real world: often we have limited information, not so much time to decide, and a lot at stake. In today's dynamic world, managers need to make such difficult decisions constantly, and I definitely believe training from the case method will set me up to become a more effective leader.
Aside from your classmates and cases, what was the key part of Harvard Business School's MBA programming that led you to choose this business school and why was it so important to you? I was drawn to HBS due to its global recognition and network. I'm not sure where I'll be living in ten years, but I know I can tap into the HBS community regardless of where I go.
What course, club, or activity excites you the most at Harvard Business School I'm excited about Women's Student Association. As a female manager in auto industry in a small German town, I was often the only or highest-ranking woman in the room. Gender equity is a topic close to my heart. I'm also excited to further grow my interest in sailing through the Sailing Club. It was hard to not take a liking to it as I lived so close to the Dutch border.
When you think of Harvard Business School, what is the first word that comes to mind? Why? Leadership. Not leadership in terms of the title one holds, but in the sense of driving for impact and having the courage to challenge the status quo and the social responsibility in improving something around you.
Describe your biggest accomplishment in your career so far: One of my proudest accomplishments would be helping a traditional German auto company adjust to drastic changes in industry and setup innovation mindset and team — so much so we identified synergies in sports industry.
How did COVID-19 change your perspective on your career and your life in general? Having lived on four continents, I always felt like a global citizen. However, COVID-19 really made me see just how interconnected and small the world has become. No one can really shut the door and stay away. It takes global effort to find a solution. I also saw how vulnerable and resilient people can be under unexpected changes as I worked to help our company survive global supply chain shock and volunteered to help marginalized groups such as new immigrants access information and care and to connect PPE supply with demand across different countries.
What led you to pursue an MBA at this point and what do you hope to do after graduation? I was fortunate to be in auto industry when it's facing disruptive changes. My role allowed me to be deeply involved in coming up with and implementing product portfolio change, global footprint shift, business model change, and company cultural change. Yet I also saw how much struggle incumbent players face, and I feel it is time to elevate my practical experience with more systematic training. Currently, the plan is to return to auto after graduation, but I'm definite open to explore since I've dedicated all my career to manufacturing, and a different perspective may be enlightening.
What other MBA programs did you apply to? Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, MIT, Darden, Fuqua
What advice would you give to help potential applicants gain admission into Harvard Business School's MBA program? Many people mention don't set boundaries, and I'd like to repeat that. I once thought myself as an atypical candidate with more work experience. Coming from a "nonfeeder" industry or company, I almost self-selected out of applying. In the end, there's no harm in trying. Also, it's important to be authentic – that way, there's no regret regardless of the outcome. I was working on many iterations of my essay and navigating many people's advice until a couple days before the deadline. That's when I scraped everything and just rewrote the whole essay with what I've always wanted to say. MBA application provides a rare opportunity for self-reflection and understanding, and treating it with sincerity can facilitate a lot of growth.

"State-of-the-art" is a phrase likely found on the "auto-correct" function of every cell phone at The Steadman Clinic and Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI).
And the phrase gets plenty of use now with the recent unveiling of the new BioMotion Laboratory at the Steadman headquarters in Vail, Colorado.
"In keeping with Dr. [Richard] Steadman's pledge when he started this clinic many years ago, we remain tasked to get people back to doing what they love as soon and as efficiently as possible," said Dr. Scott Tashman, Director of Biomedical Engineering at SPRI.
The Biomotion Lab at SPRI combines multiple methods – via video motion cameras, wearable sensory devices, and advanced X-ray imaging – in order to get a clearer and more accurate look at how injuries are healing. The "dynamic stereo X-ray" system can capture pictures in one millisecond and give doctors an extremely accurate look at a repaired joint or ligament doing what they are supposed to be doing.

The Week at Cheney Stadium
During R Month of Giving, the Tacoma Rainiers are collaborating with totally Tacoma projects to help raise funds for initiatives that truly matter in the South Sound through a movement called "R Hat R City." This November, five dollars from every Rainiers hat purchased from Cheney Stadium or thru the online Team Store will be donated.
The latest episode of This Is R City detailed one of the initiatives the team will be donating to, the "Watts Up!" solar project at Jason Lee Middle School. Founded by three former Jason Lee students, now freshmen in Tacoma, and their junior high science teacher, this group's goal is to install 277 solar panels on the roof of the school. They've gotten the approval from the Tacoma Public School board, and are now out raising nearly $200,000 to begin installation.

Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the Congressional Budget Office follows a predictable pattern of endorsing policies that result in bigger government. During the debate about the so-called stimulus, for instance, CBO said more spending and higher deficits would be good for the economy. It then followed up that analysis by claiming that the faux stimulus worked even though millions of jobs were lost. Then, during the Obamacare debate, CBO actually claimed that a giant new entitlement program would reduce deficits.
[P]ersistent deficits and continually mounting debt would have several negative economic consequences for the United States. Some of those consequences would arise gradually: A growing portion of people's savings would go to purchase government debt rather than toward investments in productive capital goods such as factories and computers; that "crowding out" of investment would lead to lower output and incomes than would otherwise occur.
…[A] growing level of federal debt would also increase the probability of a sudden fiscal crisis, during which investors would lose confidence in the government's ability to manage its budget, and the government would thereby lose its ability to borrow at affordable rates. …If the United States encountered a fiscal crisis, the abrupt rise in interest rates would reflect investors' fears that the government would renege on the terms of its existing debt or that it would increase the supply of money to finance its activities or pay creditors and thereby boost inflation.

MP's concern over increased parking charges
The multi-storey car park in London Road, Stroud.
Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie is supporting an open letter to the district council leader expressing her concern over a 12.5 per cent rise in parking charges after talking to businesses who are horrified by the plans.
She has joined with Conservative councillors to condemn the plan which will hit hard pressed traders and families who need to use cars in this rural constituency.
The Labour-led authority wants to hike the charge by 10p for the first hour in its budget proposals.
In the letter to the council's leader Doina Cornell, her deputy Green Party leader Catherine Braun and the Liberal Democrat leader Ken Tucker, the letter said: "I am extremely concerned that you have taken a decision to significantly raise parking prices in Stroud District Council Car Parks by 12.5 per cent or 10p in the first hour.
Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie.
"Your plans also come at a time when hard pressed families are already feeling the impact of many costs rising due to the global pandemic. We should be encouraging people into our towns to spend locally and away from online services, not put them off by hiking parking charges."
The letter makes clear that the council suggesting the decision is to save the environment fails to look at the reality of the situation for many residents.
"You are well aware that in a largely rural district, the majority of our residents rely on their vehicles and this will be the case for many years to come.
"Stroud District Council should honour its own initiatives for the environment before penalising residents. We are still waiting for you to increase the number of electric charging points in the council's car parks in accordance with the motion passed at full council two years ago."
They added: "It is imperative that Stroud District Council works harder to be business friendly and be mindful of the unintended consequences of your decisions."
Group Leader of the Conservative councillors Stephen Davies said: "The decision by the Labour-led Stroud District Council to raise parking charges in Stroud by 12.5 per cent is a further attack on cost of living and shows their complete lack of support for local businesses.
"The Green Party's support for the decision shows their ideological objection to cars, without any regard for local businesses.
Siobhan said: "I couldn't agree more with the Conservative councillors, local chamber of commerce and many businesses, that a 12.5 per cent increase is madness. We learned last time the council tried to add parking charges that they are a barrier to people shopping locally.
"It is time the council, after all that happened during the pandemic and all the funding from government, thought about the impact of decisions on local traders and residents rather than hitting them with this totally unnecessary parking rise."

Mellors acknowledges the Saturday Morning Cartoon upbringing grown with Beckett absurdism. Examplar of art-today's newfound coalition with entertainment. But Mellors' complicitness with television, friendly and enjoyable as they seem, are terrifying for their adeptness manufacturing futility in comedic timing. To watch someone enter your head and unpack a gag reel of existential disconnect. Alienation, like Ha Ha funny. Much of Ourhouse's comedy is premised on the family's total inability to communicate. No member ever quite registers with another except in terms of tertiary objects of concern and left longing in the wide berth between what is meant and what is received, and an ongoing inability to find meaning in their world.

Home Business Snapchat vs Instagram: Which one will dominate in the next 2 years?
Snapchat vs Instagram: Which one will dominate in the next 2 years?
Alicea James
The Social Media Landscape
Despite the competitive nature of the social media landscape, a few select companies have carved out a comfortable position in the marketplace. LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google+, Skype, Digg, Tumblr and WhatsApp are the first one that come to mind. I have not forgotten the 'ever popular' Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and of course the proverbial king of social media, Facebook.
Regardless of these success stories, there were many that failed to find a permanent place in this fickle landscape. They disappeared into oblivion never to be seen or heard of again; Hi5, Myspace, Tagged and Friendster might ring a bell—or maybe not, which perfectly proves my point.
Introducing Snapchat
Then we have the new kid on the block, Snapchat. It was actually launched in 2011 under the name Picaboo but didn't really take off. The app was later rebranded as Snapchat and gradually began to gain traction. Fortune.com reminds us that in early 2011 the app had only 1000 daily users which grew to 100,000 by early 2012.
The creators introduced unique features such as disappearing text messages, live videos, my stories, smart filters, geo filters, stickers and Bitmoji. By 2015 Snapchat became one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.
It is not surprising that these days there are over 150 million active users on Snapchat, with a value of 20 billion dollars. And they seem to be planning for the future as well, recently launching a new product, 'Spectacles by Snap' with the company even rebranding itself as Snap Inc. But the real question is, can it retain its place in the market when other popular apps such as Instagram are also incorporating features that were once only unique to Snapchat?
Hello Instagram
Instagram's foray into the social media landscape was much easier than Snapchat's. Only two months after its launch in 2010, the mobile app had over 1 million users. It was poised for success from the very beginning. Instagram allowed users to share their lives with people around the world by uploading photos, and videos with the option to edit with basic filters before posting.
One very unique feature introduced by Instagram was #hashtags, which makes it easy for users to find similar content by placing the number sign (#) before a particular word or phrase. This concept became so popular that the word 'hashtag' was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014.
Instagram continued to increase its user engagement by adding features such as direct messaging, photo tagging, and additional photo editing filters. By 2012, the app had surpassed the 30 million user mark and social media giant Facebook clearly took note, buying out the company that same year for 1 billion dollars.
Since then they've continued to improve upon the app by incorporating, embedded posts, business profile options, sponsored photos and videos, and even the ability to share posts across other platforms such as WhatsApp, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook etc.
Instagram vs Snapchat
These days Instagram has many of the features that were unique to Snapchat. The app has incorporated live videos, selfie filters, stickers, hands-free option, and a slideshow sharing option. Since instagram launched its copycat 'stories' feature in August of this year, Snapchat's original 'stories' feature has already taken a tumble. It sank 85 percent as reported by TechCrunch; this year Snapchat had its lowest percentage growth quarter since its data was publicly available in 2014.
The company has noted that a negative factor affecting engagement and user retention growth is the issue of their competitors mimicking their products. In addition, the launch of several updates and products led to technical issues. This affected the performance of the app and likely contributed to the decline in active daily users.
At the moment, Instagram has 700 million monthly users, doubling its user base in the past 2 years. Instagram stories alone reached 200 million daily users in April— which is more than Snap Inc.'s 161 million total daily users. Instagram also has 1 million advertisers which has grown from half a million in the past few months.
With this information it's quite easy to determine that in the next two years, Instagram will continue to dominate the market. Of course Snap Inc. may have some surprises up their sleeves, but if both social media platforms remain on their current trajectory it's obvious that Instagram will take the win on this one. But hey, miracles do happen, meet me back here in two years and we'll discuss!

How does the recruitment of labor migrants work? We know that the process of recruitment is highly consequential for aspiring labor migrants: during this process, migrants acquire and develop expectations, plans, and a range of obligations to different recruiters. Yet, the recruitment process remains largely opaque. It comprises complex, informal networks of sub-agents working at the local and regional levels on behalf of larger, national-level recruitment agencies.
To better understand the process of labor recruitment -- particularly for labor migrants working in Gulf states -- I am conducting a pilot project in Pakistan. It has two goals. First, I aim to build on recent qualitative research on the "black box" of migration brokerage and systematically disaggregate the "sending country third party recruiter" into a series of actors and relationships unfolding over space and time. This will enable an investigation into the (mis)information, expectations, and obligations aspiring migrants believe they are receiving and making at each step of the recruitment journey.
Second, I aim to make a methodological contribution to the study of labor migration processes that is scalable and transferable across sending countries. I combine in-depth interviews with aspiring migrants and their household members with the deployment of a mobile phone application to collect data at micro-spatiotemporal intervals during their recruitment journey. This mixed method data collection technology can be used to study various highly mobile populations navigating the social landscape of labor migration over time.
The pilot project is supported by funding from the Research & Empirical Analysis of Labor Migration Program.

The Ultimate Grey's Anatomy Quiz | 30 Questions
Series, TV Show
admin March 13, 2021 No Comments
Do you ever wonder how a medical drama can be so good to include a tint of romance and humor in it? If yes, then you must surely be a fan of a very famous American Medical Drama Television Series: "Grey's Anatomy". Premiered on March 27, 2005, this fictional series revolves around the lives of medical interns, residents, and attending physicians who try to maintain a tough balance between their personal and professional relationships. This series is written by Henry Gray and is continued by Shonda Rhimes. It has been named Grey's Anatomy because this title serves as an allusion to a classic human anatomy textbook, Gray's Anatomy. The title character of this show, i.e., Dr. Meredith Grey, started off as an intern and, after some time, while exploring the day-to-day life of a surgeon, turns out to be the chief of General surgery. This show's original cast includes nine-star billed performers like Chandra Wilson, Sandra Oh, Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers, Katherine Heigl, T. R. Knight, and Isaiah Washington. Much to our amazement, the cast went through some significant changes between the series run but still survived to be the #3 drama on every broadcast television in the United States. This 17 seasons (or 369 episodes) series has received numerous outstanding awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series- Drama, and alongside, it has also been nominated a total of 38 times for the Primetime Emmy Award. What a significant achievement, isn't it? After talking much about the success and awesomeness of this show, let's take a small quiz on "How much do you know about Gray's Anatomy" to amaze you with some unknown facts related to it. Let's start the Grey's Anatomy Quiz!
