during this years milan design week, international studio mandalaki presented their 'halo' collection of color projecting lights at rossana orlandi. the exhibition showcased the series and saw spaces illuminated with the bright and intense spectrums of color emanating from the four variations on the lamp: 'up', 'sky', 'big' and 'one'.
'up' is the latest incarnation of the halo collection and has been designed by mandalaki with the concept of creating a 'personal sun'. with the spherical projection and warm hues of yellow, orange and red, the image of the hot sun can be formed onto any wall space. and although the color produced can take up a large area, the lamp itself is slender and compact, allowing it to be easily located to create a stunning visual effect.
similarly to the aforementioned 'up', halo 'sky' also produces an intense color projection, with the spectrum chosen specifically to resemble the natural frequencies of the sun at sunset. the key difference with this product however, is that it is ceiling-mounted, appearing as a thin stem hanging from the ceiling. the projector head is positioned at the bottom and hinged, allowing it to be easily moved and adjusted.
as the name suggests, halo 'big', is the largest projector in the range. with the implementation of a larger and flexible head, the possible surface onto which the light is projected is increased. the lamp has been formed to produce infinite colors of light, creating an impressive and intense wall display.
and finally from the halo collection is 'one' which has been designed specifically with the intention of forming a perfect circle of color. using a CNC-shaped anodised aluminium projector, the magnificent colors are produced using a high powered LED and optical system. altogether, the series of lamps by mandalaki forms an intense display of bright light, aiming to fuse art with technology.

January GDP rises above forecasts as covid restrictions were lifted
Posted on March 11, 2022 Author Comments Off on January GDP rises above forecasts as covid restrictions were lifted
The UK economy had a stronger-than-expected start to the year with a 0.8 per cent rise in output as Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, official statistics show.
One forecaster warned, however, that this could be "as good as it gets" this year in the light of the cost-of-living crisis and the war in Ukraine. Economists had predicted a marginal rise of 0.2 per cent in gross domestic product (GDP) for January.
Plan B restrictions, which were put in place in early December to minimise the spread of the Omicron variant, were not lifted until late January. These included guidance to work from home, the return of face masks in most indoor settings and Covid passes for entry to large venues.
A rebound in the hospitality and retail sectors, which were most affected by the restrictions, drove GDP above pre-pandemic levels for the first time, the figures from the Office for National Statistics show. Output at the start of the year was 0.8 per cent higher than recorded in February 2020, before the pandemic.
Wholesale and retail sales rose by 2.5 per cent in January compared to December, when they fell by 3.2 per cent. Restaurants and hotels recorded a 3 per cent rise in output after a 1.7 per cent drop at the end of last year. Overall, output in consumer-facing services rose by 1.7 per cent after having fallen by 0.2 per cent in December.
The rise in GDP was recorded across the board in ten of thirteen sub-sectors of the economy. An easing in supply shortages led to a 1.1 per cent rise in construction output and a 0.8 per cent rise in manufacturing, which is the third consecutive month that output in both sectors has risen.
An increase in GP visits after Omicron fears subsided drove output in the health sector up by 1.3 per cent, after a 2.4 per cent rise in December. This is despite a fall in test-and-trace activity.
Kitty Ussher, chief economist at the Institute of Directors, said business leaders would be relieved to hear that the economy had had a strong start to the year. "We would expect this trend to continue into February," she said. "Looking forwards, the key economic question is whether those consumers that still have discretionary spending power are more pleased about the retreat of the virus than they are concerned about the financial impact of the grim news from Ukraine."
Some of the rebound in activity after the lifting of Omicron restrictions will have flowed into February, given that cases were still high for the first half of January, according to Paul Dales, chief UK economist at the Capital Economics consultancy.
However, he said: "With the cost of living crisis and the influence of the war in Ukraine probably means this is as good as it gets for the year."
Dales expects the hit to households' real disposable incomes due to surging energy prices, partly due to the war in Ukraine, and higher taxes will start to be felt from March and April.
"As such, GDP growth will probably slow throughout the year. With high inflation filtering into higher price/wage expectations, this won't stop the Bank of England from raising interest rates further, with the next hike on Thursday, probably . . . from 0.50 per cent to 0.75 per cent."
Rishi Sunak, who delivers his spring statement on March 23, said: "We know that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is creating significant economic uncertainty and we will continue to monitor its impact on the UK, but it is vital that we stand with the people of Ukraine to uphold our shared values of freedom and democracy, and ensure Putin fails."
The central bank's monetary policy committee will meet on Thursday to make decisions on interest rates and quantitative easing.

Each radio amateur builds the setup to suit your individual preferences and in view of the plurality of features.
Since VHF costs antenna-feeder farm often superior to all other costs, the majority of radio amateurs trying even for something to save.
The first (but not the main) – feeder loss at more than 70cm to 2m.
The second reason, as a consequence of the first – is technically much more difficult to build a high-performance setup, which means that such setups are much smaller in comparison to the 2nd setup.
And the third important reason – the antenna gain at the third harmonic is less than the fundamental frequency.
In addition to the above, the important role played by a number of other factors – it is distorted directional pattern, gain/matching for the third harmonic is usually higher than the frequency of the desired.
As a result of such "discoveries", many are disappointed in the UHF band and completely cease to work in it.
For those wishing to improve their setup and do not spend money on another feeder and its installation have an inexpensive but highly effective solution to the problem – the duplexer.
Today we consider the duplexer from Comet CF-4160.

Nápoles (Portuguese for Naples) is the name of a Portuguese family whose roots lie in the Kingdom of Naples. A claimed secondary branch of the royal Capetian House of Anjou, of the kings of Naples, the Nápoles descend from Stephen of Durazzo (a claimed younger son of John, Duke of Durazzo, ruler of the Kingdom of Albania, and grandson of Charles II of Naples) who moved to Portugal during the first half of the 14th century to join the ranks of King Afonso IV at the battle of Salado. It has been noted that this might be a posterior fabrication, for there is no notice of any such legitimate or bastard son of a Prince of Naples.

The main branch of the family in Portugal is that of the Lords of the Honour of Molelos, created Viscounts of Molelos by king John VI of Portugal and later raised to Counts of Molelos by king Miguel I, in recognition of their support for the traditionalist faction during the Liberal Wars. Among its members are Leonardo Estêvão de Nápoles, Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles and Francisco de Paula de Tovar e Nápoles, 1st Viscount of Molelos.

Once a month, my husband (a secular humanist Jew) and I (Roman Catholic) join the Fraytik tsu Nakht at the Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture. At the Friday night secular humanist Shabbat celebration, we sing songs, light candles, eat challah bread, and sing in Yiddish and Hebrew. But what I am also learning is the humanistic approach to Jewish cultural heritage.
At the celebrations, they give a great deal of importance, as it says in the text that we read, "to human dignity and the human power to make a better world … and gratitude for the wonders of the world." Being from a Latin American country, I do not know Yiddish or Hebrew, but I have memorized the lyrics to songs like "Daylanu Shalom" and "Hineh Ma Tov," so I can sing along with the other people.
When I married Carl, I enjoyed imagining that I was married to a relative of Jesus Christ, since I am practising Catholicism and Jesus is Jewish. We found out that we have more things in common than we imagined. We really enjoy seeing all the similarities and sharing them. For instance, I go with Carl to his Jewish events, where we light candles "to reflect on our own light and the light of others, we praise the healers, the builders and the dreamers. We celebrate the peacemakers, those who teach, who nurture, who love, who share, and those who create for humanity." At the same time, I have an altar in our room, where I spend time praying the rosary, lighting candles and meditating. Carl comes with me on Sunday to listen to Mass, and is curious for something new, like listening to Mass in Latin, hearing the sermon or just listening to the beautiful music from the pipe organ at Holy Rosary Cathedral, where I belong. Our relationship is based on respect and acceptance, so we can both learn from each other without judgment. Together, we discover that hope is bright and love fills our hearts.
This past year, like every year, we received a phone call from one of Carl's friends inviting us to his home to celebrate Passover. For me, this means learning more about his culture and imagining how was the Last Supper that Jesus had with his disciples. I love the prayers, the singing and being with good friends who accept me and welcome me, even knowing that I am Catholic, but, above all, I enjoy it because I'm taking part with my husband, who I love.
Carl and I married in a civil ceremony, a Jewish ceremony and in the Catholic Church. We learned that celebrating our differences has made us closer and that religion, far from being a barrier, is a blessing from our Higher Power, however we understand It.

text:
Kvinnohistoria är ett begrepp som myntades under 1960- och 1970-talen. I anglosaxiska länder använde (och använder) kvinnorörelsen ofta begreppet "herstory" till skillnad från "history". Gerda Lerner kallade sin bok "The Majority Finds its Past" (Majoriteten finner sitt förflutna), som en medveten pik åt hur de som skrev den "vanliga" historien brukade osynliggöra kvinnor.

Beskrivning
Tanken med kvinnohistoria var att lyfta fram gömda och glömda kvinnor och den roll de spelat under århundraden, samt vilka villkor kvinnor levde under. Men kvinnohistoriker insåg snart att det inte bara gick att "lägga till" kvinnor till den "vanliga" historien. De fann att kvinnors historia handlade om utestängning, uteslutning och diskriminering – även när det gällde de betydelsefulla kvinnor som faktiskt tagit plats i historien. På grund av det "elände" som ofta beskrevs, kom kritiker av begreppet kvinnohistoria att kalla den för "eländeshistoria".

Anglosaxiska kvinnoforskare började tala om "Women's culture" (kvinnokultur). Man lyfte fram och betonade kvinnospecifika erfarenheter och kvinnors inbördes relationer. I Norge myntades inom kvinnoforskningen begreppet "värdighetsforskning". Senare kvinnohistorisk forskning har också börjat diskutera om medeltidens mörker inte är en bild som målats av män, eftersom mycket pekar mot att kvinnor ofta hade större rörelsefrihet på en mängd områden då, än kvinnor i senare tid.

Idag har begreppet kvinnohistoria allt oftare ersatts av begreppet genushistoria. Man menar att det inte "bara" är den kvinnliga underordningen som ska sättas i fokus, utan lika mycket den manliga överordningens historier: maktens organisation, idéhistoria och praktik.

Ordet "Herstory"
Den amerikanska radikalfeministen Robin Morgan ges äran av att ha myntat uttrycket herstory i boken Sisterhood is Powerful (1970):

Kvinnohistoria i Sverige
Kvinnohistoria i Sverige har rötter tillbaka till sent 1950-tal. År 1958 grundades Kvinnohistoriskt arkiv, numera KvinnSam, i Göteborg av Eva Pineus som ett privat initiativ (först 1971 införlivades det i Göteborgs universitet). Där utgavs år 1960 den första svenska avhandlingen inom kvinnohistoria, Gunnar Qvists Kvinnofrågan i Sverige 1809-1846 : studier rörande kvinnans näringsfrihet inom de borgerliga yrkena.

Under 1970-talet började svenska historiker bedriva kvinnohistorisk forskning i större skala. Tidiga publikationer var Gunhild Kyles avhandling Svensk flickskola under 1800-talet (1972) och Gunnar Qvists Statistik och politik. Landsorganisationen och kvinnorna på arbetsmarknaden (1973). De kvinnohistoriska undersökningarna behandlade ofta ekonomiska villkor i arbetslivet. Framåt slutet av 1980-talet övergick svensk kvinnohistorisk forskning i genushistoria. Yvonne Hirdmans uppmärksammade artikel Genussystemet : reflexioner kring kvinnors sociala underordning (i Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift 1988) introducerade begreppet genus för svensk historisk forskning.

Sankt Egidi ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Raitenbuch im mittelfränkischen Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen.

Geografie
Der Weiler liegt an der Ostseite des Weißenburger Waldes südlich von Raitenbuch und südwestlich von Reuth am Wald auf einem zum Forst hin ansteigenden Gelände auf dem "Gilgenbühl". Von Reuth am Wald und von Raitenbuch führt je eine Gemeindeverbindungsstraße nach Sankt Egidi. Von der Bundesstraße 13 ist der Ort in östlicher Richtung über die Abzweigung in Richtung Raitenbuch zu erreichen.

Geschichte
Der Ort geht wahrscheinlich auf ein königliches Jagdhaus mit einer dem hl. Ägidius geweihten Kapelle zurück. "Sankt Egidi" bedeutet "Siedlung bei der Kapelle des hl. Ägidius", dessen bayerische Namensform meist Ilg oder Gilg lautet. 1452 ist der Ort unter dem Namen "St. Gilgen" erwähnt. In einem Beleg von 1483 ist von einem Bruder (Einsiedler) bei der "St. Gilgen-Kap bei Bechtal" die Rede; die Untertanen des Weilers gehörten dem Bischof von Eichstätt. Die Eremitenklause wurde im Dreißigjährigen Krieg zerstört. 1726 gab der Generalvikar von Eichstätt Jakob Gassner und dem Eichstätter Bürgersohn Blettner die Erlaubnis zum Wiederaufbau. Die Klause befand sich bis zur Säkularisation neben der Ortskapelle. Das Anwesen unterstand hochgerichtlich dem eichstättischen Pfleg- und Vogtamt Titting-Raitenbuch. Letzter Eremit war der in Gersdorf 1742 geborene Johann Michael Pappler, der 1807 starb.

Sankt Egidi gehörte zur Gemeinde Reuth am Wald (dieser Namenszusatz wird seit 1880 geführt), die mit dem Ende des Alten Reiches aus dem Hochstift Eichstätt 1802/03 in das Fürstentum Eichstätt des Erzherzogs Ferdinand von Toskana kam, das ab 1806 an das Königreich Bayern fiel. 1808 bildete Reuth am Wald mit Raitenbuch den Steuerdistrikt Raitenbuch im Landgericht Raitenbuch, ab 1812 im Landgericht Greding. Durch das Gemeindeedikt von 1818 wurde Reuth am Wald mit Sankt Egidi wieder eine eigenständige Ruralgemeinde. Diese gehörte ab 1. Oktober 1857 dem Landgericht Weißenburg an, aus dem sich 1972 der heutige Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen entwickelte. Im Zuge der Gemeindegebietsreform wurde Reuth am Wald mit Sankt Egidi am 1. Juli 1972 nach Raitenbuch eingemeindet.

Einwohnerentwicklung
 1824: 12 Einwohner, 2 Anwesen
 1861: 24 Einwohner, 7 Gebäude
 1950: 27 Einwohner, 4 Anwesen
 1961: 19 Einwohner, 4 Wohngebäude
 1987: 25 Einwohner

Katholische Filialkirche St. Ägidius
Die dem heiligen Ägidius geweihte Kapelle ist eine Filialkirche der katholischen Pfarrei Raitenbuch. Der halbrund geschlossene, turmlose Saalbau mit einem Dachreiter im Westen wurde 1726 anstelle eines verfallenen Vorgängerbaus errichtet. Der zweisäulige Barockaltar (um 1630–1650) zeigt im Altarbild den Kirchenpatron, der auch im Antependium und als Figur in einem Schrein an der linken Kapellenwand zu sehen ist, und im Aufzug Gottvater mit der Weltenkugel. An der Emporenbrüstung und oberhalb der Fensterlaibungen sind Stuckornamente mit Bandwerkmotiven im Stil des frühen Rokoko angebracht. 1976 wurde das Legschieferdach durch ein Ziegeldach ersetzt.

In einer mit 1686 bezeichneten Wegkapelle in der Nähe der Ortskapelle ist eine gefasste Holzstatue einer Pietà aufgestellt.

The Height Of Fashion
NWA Democrat-Gazette/ANDY SHUPE
Models from Couture Bridal in Springdale walk the runway Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017, during NWA Fashion Week at Drake Field in Fayetteville. NWA Fashion Week support Arkansas Fashion Week, a non-profit organization that supports fashion careers in Arkansas.
Fashion Week showcases designers, boutiques
A Drake Field airline hangar was transformed into a runway — a fashion show runway — Nov. 10-11, complete with glamorous lights, flashing cameras, hundreds of guests and, of course, more than 150 models sporting the latest looks Arkansas has to offer.
The abundance of looks presented at this fall's NWA Fashion Week ranged from the artistically avant-garde creations of Arkansas designers to ready-to-wear winter ensembles from nearby boutiques.
CEO Robin Atkinson, a Fayetteville native, moved back to take over NWA Fashion Week in 2016, holding her first show in March at Record in Bentonville. This is the first show in Fayetteville since 2013 and the first fall show, said Payton Bridewell, vice president of operations.
"There are so many local designers that have stuff they want to show," she said.
NWA Fashion Week was also recently approved as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. The participants don't have to pay to show in the event, which includes hair, makeup and models, Bridewell said.
Designer Sara Soo McGuigan said the event is a chance to network in a way otherwise unavailable in Northwest Arkansas.
"In just one month, I've been able to build relationships with models, with makeup artists, with videographers," she said. "The community is here, but it's scattered and it's hidden. This brings it out and brings everyone together."
The more than 700 guests walked into a party-style atmosphere with designated photo areas that were set up around planes and in a Volkswagen, and no one had to walk far for a drink. When the show started, some onlookers may have also found themselves mentally shopping for their next outfit.
Rogers resident Shelly Cottrell found herself drawn to a dress from Masons as it glided with the model down the runway Thursday. The next day she couldn't help but stop by the Fayetteville boutique.
"I am amazed with the talent around here. Oh my gosh, I was blown away," Cottrell said about the event.
Models walk the runway Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017, during NWA Fashion Week at Drake Field in Fayetteville. NWA Fashion Week support Arkansas Fashion Week, a non-profit organization that supports fashion careers in Arkansas.
Masons been around for more than 20 years and has been at its Joyce Boulevard location since 2007. The contemporary-style boutique participated the first two years the event was started, general manager Caitlin Steiner said.
"This is the first time they've ever done a fall show, and I think fall product is fun to play with. You have a lot more options. So, I think being able to showcase our fall product was a big, big push to go," Steiner said. "I thought it went great. It was definitely a cool setting.
Other Northwest Arkansas boutiques represented are just getting their start in a business where good reviews and name recognition can be key to success.
Couture Bridal on West Sunset Avenue in Springdale started in 2014 and is the newest bridal salon in Northwest Arkansas.
Owner Julie Nei said the exposure is especially important in marketing destination shops such as bridal boutiques.
"Ours is different than the typical market, because no one is really paying attention until they need a dress," she said.
Nei said it took weeks of planning and hard work to pull off the runway show, but she would definitely do it again.
"I love that this event says we aren't just a little Arkansas town. We are a forward-thinking and fashionable area," he said.
Nei drew information to the fashion shows she's been to in New York City and Chicago while also thinking about what makes her area unique, she said. Some dresses presented a popular "boho" style and one would look good with cowboy boots at a barn wedding, she said.
Hello Luvvy started online in February, and owner Darcy Munoz opened a Center Street location in Fayetteville in July. Several of the clean European looks and unique finds from the shop were presented Thursday night. She searches for designers and brands that aren't yet available in the Northwest Arkansas, she said.
Munoz is a nurse, but has always loved fashion and has volunteered at the event for several years, she said.
"Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week was a way I could be involved in the fashion community," Munoz said. "And, finally, I was like 'You've been thinking about this way too long. It's now or never."
The event fun for guests and a good way to build connections and attract possible business, but it also is good for the area and economy, Munoz said.
"I believe in supporting local because that's what is going to bring jobs and cool things, like going to a fashion show, to do," she said. "That goes for boutiques and designers. Designers don't have to go far away to show their work. They can do it right here, and I think that's really important."

Are there plans to allow for more forum buttons? "Agree" and "Awesome" are great, but do not cover very many quick responses. "Like" would be great to have, for instance.
Can we have a 'groan' button, please?
There aren't going to be any negative reactions or even a 'that's funny' kind of reaction. People end up using them to passively aggressively attack others. We had to remove all of those from the Achaea forums for that reason, years ago.
Damn Achaeans! They ruined Achaea!
@Tecton now we just need a LOL button!

New York, NY CNN Business —
A senior Facebook executive said on "Reliable Sources" Sunday that the company will never be able to control all the content on its site, and may be open to regulation as lawmakers continue to crack down on the tech giant.
Facebook (FB)'s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, was pushing back after last week's damning Wall Street Journal investigation based on internal documents found that the company was aware of problems in its platforms. The whistleblower who leaked the documents will appear tonight on "60 Minutes," where they will reveal their identity ahead of testifying before a Congressional subcommittee Tuesday.

Fact check: 3 times internal docs contradicted Facebook's public stance
In its introduction to the eight-part investigation, the Journal wrote, "Time and again, the documents show, Facebook's researchers have identified the platform's ill effects. Time and again, despite congressional hearings, its own pledges and numerous media exposés, the company didn't fix them." The documents the outlet obtained, "offer perhaps the clearest picture thus far of how broadly Facebook's problems are known inside the company, up to the chief executive himself."
"There is no perfection on social media as much as in any other walk of life," Clegg told CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter. "And then what we have to do is address that."

Tech billionaire: Facebook is what's wrong with America
Teens who already have low esteem will go on social media and begin comparing themselves to others, Clegg said, and Facebook can't control the "basic human tendency" of comparison.
"I don't think it's intuitively surprising that if you're not feeling great about yourself already, then going onto social media can actually make you feel a bit worse," Clegg said. In the wake of the WSJ's reporting, Clegg said Facebook will introduce parental controls and tools that will be designed to nudge teens away from dwelling on certain content.
Controlling the fire
Stelter then asked Clegg why Facebook didn't simply release the internal research itself, instead of being put in the position of having a whistleblower leak the documents.
The question of whether Facebook "deliberately brushed [the research] under the carpet has got literally got it back-to-front," Clegg said. He added, "If we don't want to address those questions we wouldn't commission the research in the first place. We do it precisely so that we can work out in the minority of cases where people are not having a good experience on our platforms." He added that Facebook publishes thousands of peer-reviewed research and confirmed that the company will continue to do research.
One of the takeaways from my interview with @NickClegg: He says Facebook stands by its internal research and will keep doing the work. "We're going to continue to ask ourselves these difficult questions..." pic.twitter.com/MyYWEha8z2
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 3, 2021
But Clegg acknowledged that Facebook has been facing mounting criticism for not being able to control what it has created.
"We're never going to be absolutely on top of this 100% of the time, because this is an instantaneous and spontaneous form of communication,' Clegg said. "There's a world of a difference between doing a peer-reviewed exercise in cooperation with other academics and preparing papers internally to provoke and inform internal discussion."
Facebook claimed success in 2021's second quarter for lowering the prevalence of hate speech on its platform for three straight quarters. But The New York Times has reported that the Journal's whistleblower will soon publicly accuse Facebook for relaxing its 2020 election security safeguards too soon, allowing misinformation and groups to gather on the website, some of whom stormed the Capitol in Jan. 6.

Facebook grilled by Senate over company's impact on kids
Clegg called this claim "ludicrous," and said Facebook held no responsibility for that what happened that day.
"The responsibility for the violence of Jan. 6 lies squarely with the people who inflicted the violence and those who encouraged them, including President Trump," Clegg said.
Clegg acknowledged that regulation of its platform could be "really helpful" if it relaxed privacy and data protection rules, which could allow Facebook external researchers to gain access to sensitive data.
Ahead of the 60 Minutes interview, Facebook was playing offense, downplaying claims that the company is the cause of political and social polarization in the US. Clegg claimed WSJ made "deliberate mischaracterizations" in its investigative series in a release two weeks ago.

CNN will no longer publish content on Facebook in Australia
"None of Facebook's defenses cited a single, factual error in our reporting," a statement from the Journal said. The news outlet said it has asked Facebook to release the internal research it reported on, which Clegg did not confirm Facebook would do.
Clegg's responses and occasional stonewalling prompted Stelter to say, "a part of me feels like I'm interviewing the head of a tobacco company right now." Clegg responded that the comparison is "profoundly false."
"There has to be a reason why a third of the world's population enjoys using these apps," Clegg said.

This is the official newsletter of the Prof. Erik Holst Fund.
#9 - MAY 2016
Announcing the winner of Erik Holst AM2016 GA Scholarship!
Dear IFMSA Alumni,
Dear donors & supporters,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the results from the evaluation of all applications for the AM2016 Scholarship, provided by the Prof. Erik Holst Fund to a promising medical student, member of IFMSA, in order to cover some part (if not all) of the expenses for his/her participation at the IFMSA General Assembly - August Meeting 2016 in Mexico.
We received 52 applications in total, which is a big number for our only 3rd call for applications, 52 excellent applications from all 5 IFMSA Regions. After a thorough, 2-rounds-long evaluation that lasted a week, we finally reached to the winner, who is:
Mr. Desire RUHINDA from Tanzania!
The Board of Directors of the Fund will be in touch with him in the following days in order to arrange properly how the scholarship will be received by its beneficiary.
We would like to take this opportunity and provide you with full details on how the whole evaluation procedure took place, in terms of transparency.
The Fund first announced the call for applications for the scholarship on 24 April 2016 (over the IFMSA General server, Erik Holst Facebook page and erikholstfund.com) and provided a timespan of 2 weeks (14 days) for receiving applications online. The first announcement was also posted on various IFMSA-related Facebook groups, and was followed by 2 reminders as the deadline approached. The deadline for receiving applications expired on May 7th, 2016 at 23:59 (GMT/UTC). The application procedure was done at our website erikholstfund.com by filling in an online application form, which included a CV and a Motivation Letter of each applicant as a prerequisite for application submission. Through these two texts, we would be able to better become acquainted with each candidate and take a thorough look into their aspirations from their possible participation in the GA, their vision of IFMSA and themselves in it, as well as their background and achievements both academic, professional and personal. As the scholarship aims mainly in students who cannot attend the GA due to financial constraints, special attention was given to any relevant information provided by the applicant. Applicants that have not attended a GA before, were also seen in a more favorable way.
After the 1st round of evaluation, a ranking list of all applicants was determined. Then, all applicants were arranged according to IFMSA Region and the 2 first of each Region were chosen, which provided us with a list of 12 finalists in total, because we encountered ties in some Regions. Then, a 2nd round of evaluation followed, starting with these 12 finalists, which led us to the final ranking list that gave the winner of the scholarship.
Finally, we would like to thank once again all those who applied, especially those who made it to the list of the 12 finalists. We are sorry that we could not give more scholarships this time, but hopefully we will be able to do so for the next GA, that is the MM2017! We do encourage all of the applicants to reapply next time, when the call for applications is released! We will be happy to receive your applications once again when time comes!
Check our website erikholstfund.com for more news & updates on the GA Scholarships and other upcoming grants, as we will be enriching its content soon, after the scholarship is received, as we shall be following our grantee Mr. Ruhinda and his experience at the IFMSA GA-AM2016!

MEETING OUR MM2016 AWARDEE
During the previous March Meeting of IFMSA that took place in Malta, hosted by MMSA, PEHF Board Member and External Relations Officer, Dr. Stefan Buttigieg had the opportunity to meet with our awardee Ms. Haleema Munir (Pakistan), who received the Erik Holst MM2016 Scholarship earlier this year.
Dr. Buttigieg congratulated Ms. Munir for her achievements and expressed the heartfelt hope of all of us in the Fund, that this scholarship would bring her a step further in IFMSA engagement and involvement as a Junior global health leader and activist.
Ms. Munir thanked the PEHF for awarding her the scholarship that allowed her to come to Malta, making her dream true. She also addressed the audience of IFMSA Alumni gathered in Malta during the last weekend of the General Assembly, where key about her journey in IFMSA so far, her expectations from her participation and her gratitude towards all who are contributing to PEHF as one-time and recurring donors.
We will be following-up Ms. Munir and her activities in the months and years to come and we will be reporting back to you all her future career successes and experiences. Stay tuned!

HALEEMA MUNIR REFLECTS... AN MSI ARTICLE ON PEHF
Recently, an article written by the PEHF and our 2nd awardee, Haleema Munir from Pakistan, was published in the latest MSI 33 issue of IFMSA.
On behalf of the Board of the PEHF I would like to once again thank wholeheartedly all Alumni who made it possible to award another scholarship in Malta in March 2016, thanks to them donating to our cause.

Q: Date type without time in Oracle In Oracle 10g I got a problem when using DATE type in my table. I just want my DATE field store only DATE without time automatically.
There's so much solution, I know it like using TO_CHAR and TO_DATE or TRUNC but I faced that I'm using so much procedures to insert or update data and have no time to update all of them.
How could I resolve this problem?

A: The best solution would be to:

*

*remove all times from your DATE column (update yourtable set yourdatecolumn = trunc(yourdatecolumn))

*ensure that all future dates contain no time part by placing a check constraint on the column by using check (yourdatecolumn = trunc(yourdatecolumn))

*adjust all your INSERT and UPDATE statements or -if you're lucky- adjust your API, to only insert TRUNCed dates.
The easiest solution would be to:

*

*(Optionally) remove all times from your DATE column.

*Create a before row insert or update database trigger that sets :new.yourdatecolumn := trunc(:new.yourdatecolumn);

A: i use like this
insert : Insert into table (name_date) values(to_date(current_date,'dd/mm/yyyy'));
update : update table set name_date=to_date(current_date,'dd/mm/yyyy') where id=1;
that's all...

This knife stays sharp the longest, and you can buy it for under $50 today.
It's widely considered to be the best knife brand in the world — and it's not Wusthof. There is one knife brand that is a tier above Wusthof and their knives are made of a special formula that's 285 years old.
Zwilling, whose parent company is J.A. Henckels, produces "the Mercedes of kitchen knives," according to the TV Chef Steve Binks, who has once again weighed in for today's article.
In my quest to locate the sharpest savings, today you can finally stop buying knife after knife and cluttering up that knife drawer.
The Zwilling 8-inch Gourmet Chef's Santoku knife has an MSRP of $80. When it goes on sale, it's usually priced at $70.
This knife is superbly sharp. Dull knives require more force to cut and cause you to rock back and forth. That's when slip-ups occur. Sharp knives do the work for you and are therefore safer.

So I've already covered the topic of Creepiest Halo Easter Eggs, Funny Halo Skulls and Hardest Halo Skulls, so it seems only fair that I also rank the funniest and/or coolest Easter Eggs in the Halo Series to round this theme to a close. For this list I will not be including Skulls, since I have covered those already, and none of the Easter Eggs that appeared in my Top 10 Creepiest Easter Eggs list will be appearing here either. So, coming in at number 10:
10 – Windows Phone – Halo 3
The wall-mounted phones in Halo 3 have tiny Windows logos on them, a nostalgic callback to the era in which this game was released. This is one of several computing-related references in Halo 3, another being the fact that the UNSC computers offline with a modern-day blue screen of death. Just a small but relatively interesting detail that shows the dedication to making the world seem real.
9 – Excalibur – Halo 2
This Easter Egg is tucked away in the top floor of a destroyed building in the Halo 2 level Outskirts. What makes this interesting is that it is located outside of the level boundaries, meaning that the developers must have known that players would manipulate the game mechanics in ways that would allow them to leave the level boundaries, and yet rather than filling every corner of every level with invisible walls or death timers, Bungie instead filled the outside areas of their levels with secrets to find. This Energy Sword serves as a reward for players who manipulate the game mechanics, as well as seeing one of the infamous 'Rex' symbols written in rocks and blood (shotgun shells in the anniversary version). This sword can also be used to implement a glitch that gives you an invisible Energy Sword with infinite ammo in the next level, so it is a useful Egg to find.
8 – Notice Board – Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
The Pillar of Autumn's notice board in the original version of Halo: Combat Evolved was already full of in-jokes, references or gags such as a note claiming to have lost Alien's cat 'Jonesey', but the Anniversary version steps this up a notch. The 'Cat Found!!!' notice is clearly a reference to the Jonesey post on the original notice board, and the Spartans on the 'Defy the Covenant' poster are wearing Halo: Reach-era armour, further solidifying the link between Reach and Halo: Combat Evolved. There is even a trollface next to a blatant advert for Halo 4 which, at that time, had not been released, so in a way this notice board looks both to the past and to the future.
7 – Red vs Blue Marines – Halo 3
This one crops up a lot because it doesn't take much to find – simply go further along to a corner near the start of the Halo 3 level Crow's Nest when the game prompts you to turn left, and you will encounter a door with a Marine standing outside. What proceeds is a humourous argument between the Marine outside and another Marine, presumably just inside the door, over the password needed to get in. What makes this even better is the fact that the voices are done by various members of the Red vs Blue cast, and the conversation changes depending on the difficulty.
6 – Football – Halo 2
This one takes some effort but is really fun if you can pull it off with two people. The football itself can be located at the very top of a damaged skyscraper in the Halo 2 level Metropolis, which continues Halo 2's theme of placing fun and interesting secrets and hard-to-reach areas. Using various Skull combinations, the players can then push the ball with explosives out of its corner and down into the play-space of the road itself, and with two Ghosts this can make a game of giant football in the streets, if you can overcome the strange physics of the ball.
5 -Siege of Madrigal – Bungie Games
This Easter Egg is brilliant because it recurs throughout the franchise, and when activated it plays a piece of music called Siege of Madrigal from one of Bungie's older games, Marathon. To activate it in Halo: Combat Evolved, one must fly a Banshee up to the peak of the control room tower in the level Assault on the Control Room and park in a very specific spot (to the right of the second-highest rung, to be precise.) The tune can be found in almost every Halo game, usually located in a very specific but hard-to-reach location, and can be heard here.
4 – Flyable Pelican/Phantom – Halo: Reach
It had long been a dream of Halo fans to actually get a chance to fly the iconic dropships of either the UNSC or the Covenant, but Halo: Reach finally made it possible, albeit in the form of a very glitchy Easter Egg. Bungie knew that fans had always wanted to fly a Pelican because the vast majority of the few mods that exist for Halo generally are mods that allow the player to fly the Pelican, and although they implemented a form of air-vehicle in Halo 3 with the Hornet and again with Halo: Reach's Falcon, they knew that before they left the franchise for good they would have to provide some form of closure to fans, and so enters New Alexandria, an air level in Halo: Reach that primarily uses the Falcon, but with the flip of a secret switch and a quick flight through a giant ring-shaped building and your Falcon is magically transformed into a very unstable Pelican. Phantoms can also be driven if you manage to complete the same method with a Banshee, although that is even more unstable with no collision detection at all.
3 – Club Errera – Halo: Reach
Oddly enough, this next Easter Egg is actually from the same level as the previous one, but that is no real surprise since Halo: Reach's New Alexandria is jam-packed with fan-service Easter Eggs, since it was Bungie's last massive open level in the series. The basic story behind Club Errera is simple – in the game as normal, you pass through a nightclub during your mission to destroy Covenant Radar Jammers, but if you manage to find and activate a secret switch before coming into the Club, all of the Covenant will be either dancing, Dj-ing or waiting at the bar, and the Hunters act as bouncers guarding the door. Overall, it is a surreal experience, and you can even change the music with different switches, one of which is a remix of a track from the Halo 2 Soundtrack.
2 – Scarab Gun – Halo 2
This unassuming-looking Plasma Rifle floating above a conveniently placed danger sign atop a skyscraper (that requires sacrificing an arm and a leg to get to) is actually the key to ultimate power. There are few examples of Easter Eggs as sandbox-altering as secret weapons, but this is the obvious exception. This weapon, although looking visually identical to a Plasma Rifle, is actually a placeholder for the Scarab's main weapon used semi-regularly throughout the level Metropolis in Halo 2. Using a Banshee, (which requires a tedious and complicated method to even obtain in the first place) the player must fly up to the very top of a specific building in New Mombasa, the player can find and acquire this weapon, which allows them to shoot Scarab beams to their heart's content. Unfortunately, this weapon is extremely hard to use since it can often kill the player due to the insanely high splash damage, and a single tap of the trigger can instantly kill the player. In the Anniversary version of Halo 2, a whole Skull was created to turn every weapon in the game into a Scarab weapon, (that thankfully turns off scoring) so now even casual players can experience the power.
Honorable Mention – Secret Talking Grunts, Halo: CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3
This single Honorable Mention is in fact three separate Easter Eggs, all involving secret Grunts with specific lines of funny dialogue. The first is the 'Thirsty Grunt', who can be found during the final run of the last level of Halo: Combat Evolved. When approached, he expresses his hope that the 'food nipple' is waiting for him at the starship, clearly ignorant of his impending doom. The next, 'Cowardly Grunt', can be found in the Halo 2 mission Uprising, during which the player is actually allied with this Grunt since you play as the Arbiter. However, this Grunt will refuse to fight, and instead pitifully cowers in the corner whilst assuring the Arbiter that he will stay behind to make sure nobody sneaks up on him. The final Grunt is aptly named the 'Final Grunt', since he is the final grunt you encounter in Halo 3, although he is occasionally called the 'Jerk-Store Grunt' since he rants and raves to the Chief, claiming that 'the Jerk Store called, and they're all out of you' as well as berating the Chief for having a troubled past and claiming that he is high on gas. Wow.
1 – Terminals, Data Files and Audio Logs – All Halo Games
This could be considered cheating since I'm incorporating a vast array of separate Easter Eggs into this one entry, but they are essentially the same thing – hidden lore elements that are buried in the game and left for the player to find. This process began in Halo 3 with the 'Terminals', Forerunner (or sometimes Covenant) devices that could be accessed to read/hear small snippets of information about the wider story of the game and its context. This continued with Halo 3 ODST's atmospheric audio logs, Halo: Reach's data files and continued well into the 343 era with fully rendered mini-movies being hidden throughout Halo 4, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary, and a huge swath of fully voiced audio logs for Halo 5: Guardians, which is one of the few things worth praising about the game. What makes this such a great Easter Egg is that it is the perfect way of making players want to learn more about the wider lore of the games, as by hiding it away and including an element of challenge to find them with achievements encourages players with a sense of accomplishment or desire for 100% completion to scour the levels searching for clues and piecing together the wider lore that explains the origin of the Forerunners, the Halos, the Covenant, the Flood and countless other aspects of Halo lore.

When coffee smells like gasoline: COVID-19 isn't just stealing senses — it may be warping them
Author: Allyson Chiu, The Washington Post

Jennifer Spicer thought her days of feeling the effects of COVID-19 were over. The fever, chills and severe fatigue that racked her body back in late July had long dissipated. And much to the excitement of the self-described "foodie," her senses of smell and taste were slowly returning.
"I thought I had recovered," said Spicer, 35, an infectious-disease physician at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, who was exposed to the novel coronavirus while treating a patient. Although her senses hadn't fully come back, she was eating and drinking "completely normally" again. "I felt a lot of relief," she said.
But that relief lasted only until a Friday night in late October when she took a sip from a freshly poured glass of red wine.
"It tasted like gasoline," Spicer said. She checked the bottle, found nothing wrong, then sampled the wine again.
"I was like, 'Oh, this is not tolerable. This is not pleasurable at all,' " she said. "So I ended up dumping the entire glass of wine down the sink. It was that bad."
The wine, though, probably wasn't the problem. Her experience is keenly similar to those of some other COVID-19 survivors who are recovering their sense of smell. Known as parosmia, the often temporary distortion makes things smell different, and usually unpleasant, said Richard Doty, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Smell and Taste Center.
"It's more debilitating in some ways than loss of smell," Doty said. He noted that certain distortions, including one that causes everything to have a fecal-like odor, can make common food and drinks revolting because flavor is tied to sense of smell. "Even water can become unpleasant," he said.
For Spicer, the previously mouthwatering scents of cooked garlic and onions are now intolerable. Meat smells as if it's rotting, and mint toothpaste is so off-putting she had to switch to a bubblegum-flavored one. And perhaps worst of all, coffee's rich aroma has been replaced with the pungent odor of gasoline.
"Coffee is really the saddest thing for me because I really just enjoy having a cup of coffee in the morning," Spicer said.
Similar accounts of parosmia and a related odor distortion called phantosmia, which causes people to smell scents that aren't there, have flooded social media platforms in recent months. Facebook groups for those with COVID-related smell loss and distortions now have thousands of members. Some say they catch whiffs of cigarette smoke everywhere they go. Others can't identify the fetid smell that consistently assaults their senses. Yanna Kasey, 25 of Atlanta, said the stench is particularly bad when she is around cleaning supplies.
"It feels weird because my brain is trying to make the connection of, 'That's supposed to smell like bleach,' but it doesn't smell like bleach," said Kasey, who has yet to regain much of her sense of smell since she got sick in early July. "It's something else, so it's just so much discomfort."
The initial results of an international questionnaire published in June in Chemical Senses found that about 7% of the roughly 4,000 COVID-diagnosed respondents reported experiencing a smell distortion. Although experts don't know what overall proportion of patients will be affected by parosmia, it is "probably a significant number," said Justin Turner, medical director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Smell and Taste Center.
The distortions are often observed in people who are recovering from COVID-19 and starting to get their sense of smell back, Turner said.
"In many ways, having a parosmia in the setting of COVID-19, or any other viral upper-respiratory infection that causes smell loss, is actually kind of a good thing because it suggests that you're making new connections and that you're getting a regeneration of that olfactory tissue and returning to normal," he said.
Much remains unknown about the human sense of smell, but some experts have a theory about how smell loss linked to certain viruses, such as the novel coronavirus, can lead to parosmia, said Danielle Reed, associate director of the Monell Chemical Senses Center, a nonprofit research institute in Philadelphia.
"One speculation would be that as the olfactory receptor neurons recover, regrow and rewire into the brain that they don't do it perfectly," Reed said. Instead of being wired so that "a lemon smells like a lemon, . . . the neurons wander a bit and don't connect properly. And so the brain is confused about how to interpret that information."
Donald Leopold, a professor of otorhinolaryngology at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, likened parosmia to playing a piano with missing keys.
"Normally, you have a smell, let's say a rose, and a rose hits six keys," or neurons, Leopold said. "If you have a cold caused by a virus or if you catch the coronavirus and it kills some of those neurons, let's say you've only got three of those neurons left, that no longer allows you to smell a rose correctly. Just like if you hit those three keys, it wouldn't sound like the same beautiful chord you played on the piano."
Still, experts stressed that people experiencing parosmia should not panic. Though the process of regenerating olfactory cells is "highly variable," Turner said, the phenomenon usually goes away as people regain their smell function.
Research into parosmia and the aftermath of COVID-19-related smell loss is in "extremely early stages," Reed said, but she and other experts noted that there are ways to reduce the negative impacts of smell distortions and help the recovery process along.
"Smell training," which has been recommended for people with smell loss, may be beneficial to those suffering from parosmia as it could theoretically help their brains make the correct connections again, Turner said. It usually involves smelling different odorants, such as essential oils, at least twice a day for 10 to 15 seconds at a time over the course of weeks. Common scents used for training include rose, lemon, clove and eucalyptus.
"It's very easy to do, and there's not really a whole lot of downside to it other than we know that it doesn't work for everybody," Turner said, adding that it can be done at home.
Other potential fixes are more temporary, for instance, finding ways to plug the nasal cavity.
Some people who are triggered by food and drinks and find it hard to stomach meals have solved the problem by putting a wet cotton ball in their noses, Leopold said. A similar effect can be created by taping the nostrils shut, Doty said.
"Although the flavor's not there, you don't have the disgusting flavor experience," he said.
If those methods don't work and eating and drinking many things is nausea-inducing, Whitney Linsenmeyer, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said it is still possible for people to maintain healthy diets. She recommended switching to smoothies, which "can be a good way to still get a lot of nutrition packed in, but to make it a little bit more tolerable for people that are really not enjoying eating like they usually would."
Linsenmeyer, an assistant professor of nutrition at Saint Louis University, also encouraged people to research alternative foods that may be more palatable. For people who are unable to eat meat anymore, she suggested turning to dairy and eggs or other protein-rich foods such as beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, whole grains and tofu.
Spicer, the infectious-disease physician suffering from parosmia, said she has tried to diversify her diet, instead of just eating "bland stuff," and started taking a daily multivitamin. Recently, she learned she was able to tolerate a Thai curry dish.
"I was able to get something that had a lot of vegetables in it, and I don't know if the vegetables were okay on their own, but covered in curry sauce, they were okay," she said.
In the absence of concrete answers, Reed urged people with parosmia to seek out others who may be having similar experiences, such as joining online support groups.
"Some people, I think, benefit enormously from just being able to talk to somebody else who's going through what they're going through," she said. "That's not the same as a medical treatment, but I think some people get enormous peace of mind to just be able to unburden themselves with another person who can understand."
