Ten Bacillus strains with antimicrobial activities were isolated from Cheonggukjang produced at different parts in Korea. They all inhibited Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 and nine inhibited Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579. Four isolates (W42, H27, SKE 12, and K21) showing strong inhibiting activities were identified as B. subtilis. B. subtilis W42 was the most inhibiting strain. The antimicrobial activity of culture supernatant from B. subtilis W42 was destroyed completely by proteinase K treatment, indicating that a bacteriocin was the responsible agent. The bacteriocin, Bac W42, was most stable at pH 7 and stable between pH 3-6 and 8-9. Bac W42 was stable up to 80oC. BHI (brain heart infusion) and TSB (tryptic soy broth) were the best media for the activity (320 AU/ml) followed by LB (160 AU/ml). Bac W42 was partially purified by column chromatographies. The specific activity was increased from 1,151.2 AU/ml to 9,043.5 AU/ml and the final yield was 26.3%. Bac W42 was 5.4 kDa in size as determined by SDS-PAGE. Bac W42 showed bactericidal activity against L. monocytogenes ATCC 19111.

Swiss banks stand accused of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. This was suspected at the time by by U.S. Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, who began investigating this collaboration. He found the Swiss were not alone. His archives reveal that both British and American bankers continued to do business with Hitler, even as Germany was invading Europe and bombing London.
This investigative film shows in detail the roles played by the Anglo-German banking clique. Key members of the Bank of England together with their German counterparts established the BIS, the Bank for International Settlement, which laundered the plundered gold of Europe. On its board were key Nazis such as Walther Funk and Hjalamar Schact The president of BIS was an American, Thomas McKittrick, who readily socialized with leading Nazis.
Not only the BIS, but other allied banks worked hand in hand with the Nazis. One of the biggest American banks kept a branch open in Occupied Paris and, with full knowledge of the managers in the U.S., froze the accounts of French Jews. Deprived of money to escape France, many ended up in death camps. When Pres. Roosevelt died in April 1945, Morganthau lost his protector and his crusade against the banks came to an end. He was further weakened when men in his department were accused of being Communists during the McCarthy era.

'My Tamil Kitchen' is was a project I started in 2012, in the midst of panicking about my identity as a diaspora Tamil in post war occupied northern Sri Lanka. My teachers are two incredible women – amma and my dearest Nesa aunty.
The recipes are vegetarian – a personal stand against factory farming and over fishing. I am aware that some of our famous dishes – kool, meen porriyal, nandu curry – are an important part of the Tamil family and communal life. But capitalism happened.
Shiamala thank you for your kind feedback. Congratulations on your project. I will send you an email and we can chat.
I was spoilt by my wife who was a tamil from thirunelvelli in Jaffna, she cooked all the food for me and my two sons.My loving wife unfortunately passed away on 20/06/2013 and now I am in a situation where I am having to cook for both my sons who are 27 and 29 years of age.I have suggested that they get themselves hitched to a tamil girl like their mother so that she can cook for them. I am so very grateful to you as I have already made beans and potato curry and spinach curry both acquired from your webpage and it was so easy especially for me, a 63 year old man with no experience at all.I am convinced that my beloved lately departed wife has come through you to bail me out especially at a very volatile time in my life while I am still grieving over my great loss.
Your msg really touched my heart. Thank you very much. I am sorry to hear about the very sad loss of your wife. Life can be so joyous yet so painful. Please don't be grateful to me. To me this project is a way to resist the destruction of the Tamil people at the hands of the Sinhalese Government. I will never be able to return back to the land on which I was born and I don't want our culture, traditions and recipes to be lost with my generation. When I receive a message like yours, I realise that there are many other reasons why My Tamil Kitchen is important and your support and encouragement fuels the fire I need to keep it alive. So thank you Benny anna. Stay in touch. If there is a recipe that aunty used to make that you want me to post up for you, please let me know. I will ask my ammah and learn how to make it for you.
Yeah it is very true the points you've ade above, you can see from the other commeents aswell that we love content like this so please do keep it coming!
Dear bread machine pizza dough – apologies for taking so long to reply. Thank you very much for your support.
Dear Malar, I am so sorry for taking so long to reply to you. I only just realised that I even had comments that I had not seen. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. It's a slow project because of work commitments, but I am resolved to do 12 posts a year. Thank you again.
I work for a programme on SBS TV, hoping to talk to you about a new series we're researching – is there a way I can get in contact with you please?
Hey Georgie, I will email you my contact details.
Thanks for sharing these easy to follow receipes. I surprise my Tamil speaking friends (friends like family) each time we meet to share a meal.
Hi Shanali. Thanks for visiting the blog and I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Wednesday Michigan Recruiting Roundup: Hail to the Victor Frankensteins
There are both tricks and treats for Michigan recruiting fans in this week's roundup.
By Jonathon Simmons Oct 31, 2018, 6:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Wednesday Michigan Recruiting Roundup: Hail to the Victor Frankensteins
Welcome to the spoOoOoOkiest recruiting roundup in all of the land!
Today's roundup features a couple terrifying recruiting stories — a highly-touted commit may flip to an SEC school and Michigan offered an unranked player with no other FBS offers! Plus other updates that go bump in the night. Keep reading to get the latest recruiting updates, if you dare.
Will Eric Gray ghost Michigan?
During the bye week, the Michigan staff used the opportunity to crisscross all over the country and visit a bunch of their top targets. But arguably the most important visit was to Tennessee, where the Harbaughs sought to shore up the commitment of 4-star running back Eric Gray.
Both Jim and Jay Harbaugh stopped by Gray's school on Friday, according to The Michigan Insider's Josh Newkirk ($). The head man stopped by during school before, like the devil, heading down to Georgia. The gesture had an impact with the No. 3 all-purpose back in the country.
"That was big. That lets me know he wants me a lot. For him to come this week and they're playing a big game next week, for him to come and see me, just me, that was great to me, and I felt really honored by that," Gray said.
Running backs coach and Gray's main recruiter, Jay Harbaugh, stayed to watch Gray rip off 200 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries in a comfortable 45-7 win. Despite the blowout, the younger Harbaugh stayed the whole time, which Gray noticed.
"It means a lot for him to come and watch the game. Not many coaches do that," said Gray. "I only had one other coach come and actually watch the game. That coach left in the second quarter and (Jay) stayed for the whole game. So that's big."
But now the bad news.
Gray emphasized seeing Michigan in a game atmosphere was "crucial" for his recruitment, since he has never witnessed a game live. However, this weekend, instead of attending what should be a raucous game against Penn State, Gray will be heading to Baton Rouge for the LSU-Alabama matchup. Next week, he plans on being in Tuscaloosa for the Alabama-Mississippi State game.
That only leaves the last home game for Michigan, against Indiana, on Nov. 17 for Gray to attend. This is disappointing considering that atmosphere will not be as electric as it will be this weekend. It's also concerning Gray says, "I want to go up there really bad because I feel I need to witness that atmosphere" about Michigan, but is prioritizing other visits.
Gray said around the first signing period date, Dec. 19, is when he'll be making his final decision. Michigan is still in the best position, given he is still committed, but this will be a battle right up until that day.
Official visit looking promising for 5-star WR
Michigan's highest-ranked wide receiver still on the board is California prospect Kyle Ford. For a while, chances with the 5-star have depended on if he ever makes it out to Ann Arbor again. Well, according to 247Sports' Greg Biggins (FREE), that visit may finally come to fruition.
After this weekend, Ford will have taken official visits to Colorado, Washington and Oregon. He mentioned to Biggins USC "for sure" will be getting one as well.
As for the last one, Ford said, "I'm not 100 percent sure on that last visit but Michigan is looking good for it." He then went on to talk about his pleasant experience at last year's BBQ.
"I haven't locked anything in yet but I liked Michigan a lot when I visited for their BBQ over the summer so I'm leaning towards getting back out there for an official," said Ford. "It's a great school, not just football wise but academically and I love the tradition they have."
Ford added Florida, Florida State and Wisconsin are other schools he's considering for the final visit, but it looks like Michigan is in a good spot to land it. Dates aren't set for the USC or possible Michigan visit, but getting the final visit in a recruitment is a big advantage.
Also helping Michigan is the disappointing seasons his other contenders are having. Washington, USC and Oregon all started the season in the AP top-25 and are now unranked. If Michigan can keep its season on track and finish as the clear top school in this group, it can only help.
4-star Cole Boo-vard "in contact with Michigan a lot"
Michigan is going hard after the top player in Indiana for the 2020 class. 4-star defensive tackle Cole Brevard talked with TMI's Brice Marich about what he thinks of the Wolverines ($).
First, Don Brown's defense is making a big impression. "I'm very interested. I like Michigan because of their education and their defense. It's kind of hard not to like the defense when it's No. 1 in every defensive category underneath the sun. I think I could fit into that defense too."
Brevard was on campus for the BBQ at the Big House in July, and he wasn't the only one who enjoyed the visit. "My mom came and she brought my brother too," Brevard said. "My mom loved it and really liked how they have a great alumni base and how you can get a great education with the football program."
He still hasn't had a chance to make it up for a game yet this season, though. He was planning on coming up for this weekend, but it may be tough. "I would like to visit and I would like to go next week, but it might be hard with film here. It's a long shot, but if I can make it, I will," he said.
If not, he said he'll go after the season ends. Brevard said he doesn't have any more scheduled visits, but could go see in-state Indiana or Purdue if he was able. He's already visited Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Penn State this fall.
Brevard has one crystal ball pick to Oregon, which I don't get frankly. This seems like a classic Midwest battle, with most of the local powers fighting for him.
Michigan trying to reanimate the Ronnie Bell story?
Last year, the staff took some guff for taking the commitment of Ronnie Bell, who was a low three-star with barely any offers. Bell has proved his doubters wrong by seeing the field as a true freshman and already catching two touchdown passes.
Well, it looks like Michigan may be trying to capture lightning in a bottle twice after offering Kansas athlete Amauri Pesek-Hickson. His similarities to Bell are numerous. Pesek-Hickson was also a stud basketball player, and even played on the same AAU squad as Bell. But he picked up football again this year after not playing it in high school and started getting attention.
Like Bell, Pesek-Hickson's only other offer is from Missouri State, but he is also hearing from Kansas State and Iowa State, he told TMI's Allen Trieu ($). He also attends the same high school as Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz, so it's somewhat surprising it took schools this long to notice him.
In the regular season, he's been extremely balanced, with 563 yards rushing and 595 yards receiving, and 14 touchdowns total.
However, Pesek-Hickson most likely projects to defense and he said he would "probably play safety," but at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, may grow into a linebacker. He has already set up an official visit for Dec. 8.
It sounds like Michigan could easily land him if he was a take. This seems to be part of a newly renewed effort to add another linebacker or two after the Drew Singleton transfer.
Understandably, Pesek-Hickson doesn't have any crystal ball selections. He's not even ranked on the composite yet.

Guava fruit and especially its leaves are considered to be amazing due to its innumerate benefits for the health of the hair. They are rich in various nutrients which boost the hair growth.
Why Guava Leaves Help Hair Loss?
Guava leaves have high vitamin B content that is of a vital importance for the hair growth. In addition, guava leaves are rich in B2 too, that help in the repairing process of the tissues, cells, and the hair follicles. This means that guava leaves strengthen the hair roots and the follicles. Moreover, guava leaves have vitamin C, B3, B5, and B6, that improve the quality of the skin. Besides, they are a natural source of lycopene, vitamin A, and dietary fiber that promote the health.
CURE PREMATURE BALDNESS – Guava leaves control the hair fall and prevent hair loss, which leads to premature baldness which can lower the self-esteem and be extremely irritable.
TREAT HAIR LOSS – Anxiety, stress, hormonal imbalance, and poor diet are the most common reasons for hair loss. The guava leaves treat the hair follicles and thus they prevent hair loss.
KEEP THE SCALP HEALTHY – Shampoo, the styling products, pollution, and the sun damage the scalp. Whatever the reason is, our scalp is irritated. The guava leaves moisturize the scalp and improve its health.
STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH – Guava leaves regrow the hair in a natural way besides preventing hair loss and maintaining the scalp.
GUAVA LEAVES FOR HAIR GROWTH – Make your own hair tonic consisting of guava leaves, in order to enjoy all of the health benefits above-mentioned. The tonic will promote hair growth and reverse hair loss.
Wash the guava leaves and put them in a pot to boil. When they starts to boil, leave the to simmer for 20 minutes. Then, strain them into a separate bowl and let the liquid to cool down.
Before applying the tonic, free your hair of any products. Apply the tonic with your fingers, from the hair roots to the ends. Massage the scalp for several minutes and let it work for half an hour. Rinse with water. Use this tonic on a regular basis to feel its benefits.

Game over when Dr. EKURU AUKOT declares who he would support on Tuesday between RAILA ODINGA and RUTO.
Dr. Ekuru Aukot, the leader of the Third Way Alliance Party, has declared the presidential candidate he will back when more than 22 million Kenyans cast their ballots on Tuesday.
Raila Odinga of the Azimio One Kenya Alliance and William Ruto of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance are the front-runners in this crucial election.
Due to the support of the current president, Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila has an advantage over other candidates.
An experienced lawyer named Aukot stated on Twitter on Monday that he would back a presidential candidate who was not backed by the ruling party.
He added that two family dynasties that have ruled would end tomorrow.
He added that two family dynasties that have dominated Kenyan politics for more than 60 years will end tomorrow.
"I shall cast my ballot tomorrow. You can be certain that it won't be for a candidate who the administration is actively supporting.
It's a chance to start a new chapter in our nation's political history. Tomorrow marks the end of two families' nearly 60 years of domination, Dr. Aukot wrote on his Twitter page.

In this paper, we present the discrete version of the Adaptive Posicast Controller (APC) that deals with parametric uncertainties in systems with input time-delays. The continuous-time APC is based on the Smith Predictor and Finite Spectrum Assignment with time-varying parameters adjusted online. Although the continuous-time APC showed dramatic performance improvements in experimental studies with internal combustion engines, the full benefits could not be realized since the finite integral term in the control law had to be approximated in computer implementation. It is shown in the literature that integral approximation in time-delay compensating controllers degrades the performance if care is not taken. In this work, we present a development of the APC in the discrete-time domain, eliminating the need for approximation. In essence, this paper attempts to present a unified development of the discrete-time APC for systems that are linear with known/unknown input time-delays. Performances of the continuous-time and discrete-time APC, as well as conventional Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) for linear systems with known time-delay are compared in simulation studies. It is shown that discrete-time APC outperforms its continuoustime counterpart and MRAC. Further simulations studies are also presented to show the performance of the design for systems with uncertain time-delay. © 2015, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

Liz Brown's "Twilight Man"
A number of years ago, looking through one of her late grandmother's drawers, my friend Liz Brown found a haunting photo of a sultry young man—and a noir fairy tale. The young man turned out to be a shop clerk who fell in love with Brown's great-great-uncle, the heir to a copper-mining fortune. While the shop clerk was partying with Hollywood stars and taking up horseback riding and bookbinding, the heir created the Los Angeles Philharmonic and had the young man's face painted onto the ceiling of his library.
Unfortunately, queers lived in a twilight world a century ago, and wealth and glamour could not protect them—especially not from their own families. Liz drew on more than a decade and a half of research to write Twilight Man: Love and Ruin in the Shadows of Hollywood and the Clark Empire, a riveting, heart-breaking tale of intimate betrayal and unlooked-for generosity, as well as of the unexpected fortitude, capable of surviving even Nazi prisons, of a delicate-looking man with excellent taste. It's a lovely, powerful book, woven together with great narrative skill and told with deep humanity. Highly recommended!

Life and unhappy novels
[An issue of my newsletter Leaflet]
"In spring everything becomes drowsy. The cat forgets to chase the mouse, and men forget that they have debts." —Sōseki, The Three-Cornered World
I've been interested in Sōseki since reading, a few years ago, a Penguin translation of his 1914 novel Kokoro. Something about its plainspoken, depressive, somewhat crypto-gay view of the world spoke to me. A month and a half ago, I read his 1915 novel Grass on the Wayside, his only novel drawn directly from his life. It's about a man in early middle age who has returned to his wife and children in Japan after a long sojourn abroad. The bonds between him and his young family seem damaged, and both he and they seem ambivalent, even reluctant, about letting the bonds heal. The bickering between him and his wife is fierce. He's having trouble finding his way back into his professional life—money is a problem. And then his former adoptive father shows up, saying he wants to adopt him again. It's a confusing request. The older man may only be asking for a handout, now that the protagonist has secured a place for himself in the world, however tenuous.
Their relationship is a little hard to explain, I think even to Japanese readers. Like Sōseki himself, the protagonist of Grass on the Wayside was given up for adoption by his natural parents at a very young age, for reasons unclear, and the placement was in many ways an unhappy one. "He did not mind so much being owned physically," Sōseki writes, of the protagonist's feelings about his adoptive parents, "but even his childish heart grew fearful at the thought of becoming emotionally enslaved to them." The placement hadn't lasted. After his adoptive father left to live with a new girlfriend, the child was returned to his biological parents, who took him back only grudgingly. It's understandable that the novel's protagonist wishes for the dispiriting, humiliating story to stay in the past. He owes nothing to the man, everyone around him repeats. To protect his finances, to keep his emotional balance, he really has no choice but to turn the man away. The problem is, some of the most vivid memories of his childhood are associated with this adoptive father.
The two of them often went out boating, accompanied by a boatman dressed in the traditional straw skirt. When they were some distance from the land the boatman would cast his net, and Kenzo [the protagonist] would watch the gray mullet with their silver scales dancing frantically as they were brought to the surface. Sometimes the boatman would take them three or four miles out and catch gilthead. On such occasions the boat rocked so much that Kenzo could hardly keep awake. He enjoyed himself most when a swellfish was caught. As it puffed up in anger Kenzo would tap it with a chopstick as though it were a drum.
If the protagonist has any pleasant childhood memories associated with his biological father, in the novel they go unmentioned. Turning his adoptive father away, therefore, is an act of mourning, made more bitter and more complex by a perceived social obligation to deny that there is anything to mourn.
The character takes out some of his bitterness on his very young daughters, whose appearance he disparages. "One ugly child after another, and to what end?" he complains. The outburst seemed a little shocking to me, in such an openly autobiographical novel—didn't Sōseki worry about what his actual daughters would think?—and last month I read John Nathan's 2018 biography of Sōseki, in part because I wanted to know more about the relationship here between fiction and reality. It seems that Sōseki struggled with mental illness all his life and went through periods of believing that those closest to him were persecuting him. Several of his children were to recall him as irritable, unpredictable, and violent. Though Nathan's inclination as a biographer seems to be to honor his subject, he seems thrown by the cruelty that Sōseki showed his family. In letters to his wife, for example, he reprimanded her harshly for what he perceived as her baldness and bad teeth. Perhaps the best that can be said is that Sōseki did not leave much of his own moral ugliness out of the portrait that he drew of himself in Grass on the Wayside, in which the husband is decidedly not more sympathetic than the wife (confusingly, Sōseki did omit from his novel the paranoid delusions that he experienced, which might have extenuated the moral ugliness), and that it and Kokoro still feel to me like groundbreaking, moving works, despite my knowing more about his personal shortcomings.
"There is not a single Western dish, with perhaps the possible exception of salad and radishes, which could be said to have an attractive color. What the nutritional value is I am unable to say, but from the artistic point of view, their food is extremely uncivilized." —Sōseki, Three-Cornered World
There is more pathos, though again much sorrow, in the episode in Sōseki's life just prior to the unwanted return of his foster father. In 1900, after Sōseki had become a successful professor of English literature, popular with students despite his rigorous demands on them, his employer, the Japanese government, ordered him to study English-language pedagogy for two years in London. Perhaps sensing that he lacked the psychosocial wherewithal to thrive on his own abroad, Sōseki tried to get out of it, but the ministry of education only relented to the extent of allowing him to study literature rather than language pedagogy. "The two years I spent in London were the most miserable time of my life," he later wrote. "Among the English gentlemen, like a stray dog mixing with a pack of wolves, I eked out a pathetic existence." He contacted and studied with several English dons but did not make a meaningful connection with any of them. His stipend from the Japanese government was inadequate, and in search of quiet, clean lodgings, he moved many times. He socialized little. Perhaps in an attempt to justify his isolation, he complained repeatedly in his diary that his command of English language and literature was better than that of native English speakers around him. "I mostly stay alone and lose myself in my reading," he wrote to his wife. He bought four hundred volumes of English literature, including Spenser, Burney, Austen, Meredith, and James, and read incessantly, almost self-punitively, as if trying to cram into himself a knowledge of all English literature in just two years. Two landladies of his told a visiting Japanese colleague that he "stayed in his room for days on end, weeping in the darkness," Nathan writes. Reports reached the Japanese ministry of education that he had gone insane.
Upon his return to Japan, Sōseki was so unwell, psychologically, that his wife took the children and moved in with her parents for two months, for safety. This was the period fictionalized in Grass on the Wayside. Despite his illness, he was able to keep up a public front, and he taught Johnson, George Eliot, and Shakespeare to great acclaim at a higher school and then at Tokyo Imperial University. But what was he looking forward to? It must have seemed to him that he was condemned to spending the rest of his life teaching and studying the literature of a country where he had been deeply unhappy. But then, in late 1904, inspired by Laurence Sterne, he began a satirical novel told from the point of view of a cat (which, full disclosure, I haven't read yet). It was a hit. Two more novels quickly followed, and in 1907, Japan's largest-circulation newspaper offered to pay him a monthly salary to print his future novels in serial format. He left the academy and spent the rest of his life not studying English literature but remaking Japan's.

A retrospective glance
The New Yorker, as you may have heard, has redesigned its website, and is making all articles published since 2007 free, for the summer, in hopes of addicting you as a reader. Once you're hooked, they'll winch up the drawbridge, and you'll have to pay, pay, pay. But for the moment let's not think about either the metaphor I just mixed or its consequences, shall we?
A self-publicist's work is never done, and it seemed to behoove me to take advantage of the occasion. So I googled myself. It turns out that I've been writing for the New Yorker since 2005 and that ten articles of mine have appeared in the print magazine over the years. All seem to be on the free side of the paywall as of this writing (though a glitch appears to have put several of the early articles almost entirely into italics). Enjoy!

A white T-shirt becomes a must have as any creations look like an art object as if on the laconic walls of modern art museums. Jil Sander, which is congenial to the spirit of conceptualism and minimalism long time ago, could not pass by this trend.
The brand has launched the new Interpretation Project 001: collaborations with famous photographers and artists. The first capsule has been introduced already. Appreciate the collection of T-shirts featuring the works of Mario Sorrenti.
The well-known photographer made these shots on the picturesque Majorca, an island that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Models wearing the articles from the SS collection of the brand are depicted.
The collection will be exclusively presented in the boutique of the brand in Petrovsky Passage from March 6th to 11th.


Zakaroff scored a huge upset in Grade 3, $200,450 El Camino Real Derby, getting a half length victory at nearly 49-1.
Zakaroff took the the 1 1/8-mile race in 1:51.34. More Power to Him was moved up to second from third after the disqualification of Ann Arbor Eddie who finished second while impeding Tribal Storm.
Zakaroff relaxed early and dropped back down the backstretch.
Frey moved his mount out in the lane and was finishing strongly.
Winning trainer Steve Specht was surprised at the outcome, "It's a horse race, you never know," said Specht.
Zakaroff, a gelded son of Slew's Tiznow, was bred in Kentucky and was a $25,000 yearling purchase at the October 2015 Barretts sale by Antone Metaxas. Greg Gilchrist assisted Specht in picking him out.
The victory was worth $120,000, bringing Zakaroff's career earnings to $148,120.
More Power to Him, another son of Slew's Tiznow got the place money of $40,000 and is now multiple stakes placed and an earner of $112,593. More Power to Him was foaled and raised at Rancho San Miguel for his connections.

And that's a wrap! The third annual Future of Work Study Group concludes
Every Spring, the Project on Workforce brings together students from across Harvard graduate schools to build cross-sector connections, learn and share knowledge, and support projects related to the future of work. This year, we were thrilled to conduct the study group fully in person for the first time.
64 incredible students joined the study group to explore one of eight themes related to the future of work, led by many of Harvard's top faculty and fellows in this space:
Regional workforce and economic development with Gordon Hanson, exploring the diverging trajectories of different places.
Reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning with Matt Sigelman (CEO of Burning Glass), exploring the challenges and opportunities from shifting away from a K-12 educational mindset.
Technological change and the evolving nature of work with David Deming, exploring the past and future technological disruptions on work.
Economic justice and inequality (including DEI) with Rachel Lipson (Director of the Project on Workforce), exploring the implications of future of work trends on different demographics.
Gig economy, alternative work arrangements, and digital labor markets with Peter Blair, exploring new ways of thinking about an employee and, more broadly, labor markets.
Hiring practices and expanding access to opportunity for "hidden workers" with Joe Fuller, exploring biases in hiring and ways to address talent shortages.
Public education and career pathways (grades 9-14) with Bob Schwartz, exploring the role of the public education sector in providing workers with transferable skills for good, viable roles.
The role of data and mayoral leadership in cross-sector workforce development with Stephen Goldsmith, exploring how data and public sector decisions can shape outcomes at a local level.
The programming was divided into three modules. Each module was kicked off by a guest speaking event, featuring one or more influential thought leaders sharing their perspectives on the future of work. Then, the small discussion groups dove into the module, with a focus on the eight topics above.
In module 1, the study group explored how we got here. David Autor, a leading economist from MIT considered the "Academic Voice of the American Worker," spoke to the group about how rapid technological change has contributed to growing US inequality and wage stagnation. However, he emphasized that these outcomes are not inevitable but, rather, a reflection of institutional choices that countries make.
In module 2, the study group explored where we are headed. We welcomed a panel of three leading experts: Ajita Talwalker Menon (President and CEO of Calbright College), Katherine Newman (System Chancellor for Academic Programs, UMass), and Ryan Craig (Managing Director of Achieve Partners). They discussed the changing models of learning and work and the role of higher learning institutions in a post-pandemic world.
In the final module, the study group members explored leadership in the future of work to help them discover where they themselves can have the greatest impact. We were privileged to host three leaders representing the social, private, and public sector respectively: Dwight Powery (Partner, Advisory Services, Grads of Life), Christine Cruzvergara (Chief Education Strategy Officer, HandShake), and Congressman Jim Langevin from Rhode Island. Despite their different backgrounds, there were several common threads between all of them: (1) They did not expect to be in the position that they are now in, but they were guided by a strong conviction in a cause and a willingness to work across sectors; (2) They were motivated by other like-minded, inspiring individuals at their organization; and (3) There is still much more to do!
Below are testimonials of study group members:
Hope Allen, Ed.M. Candidate at Harvard University Graduate School of Education
During my time working in the labor statistics space, I saw how labor market mobility is largely influenced by educational opportunities and attainment – which are not equally accessible for all students and adults. Studying education policy and analysis at HGSE has been a dream, yet I quickly found myself eager for a space in which I could gain cross-sector knowledge in education and labor – and I'm so grateful that Professor Peter Blair shared with me about the Project on Workforce's Study Group. Meeting students in other graduate schools can be challenging – and through the Study Group I was able to build meaningful relationships with students in other programs who have similar passions in shaping the future of education and economic and social mobility. The faculty and staff at PWF are incredible and built a space in which I was confident to share my own experiences and able to learn invaluably from my peers.
Furman Haynes, MBA Candidate at the Harvard Business School
The Study Group is an extraordinary opportunity for any student interested in education-to-employment. It's a great way to keep in touch with a quickly evolving field. You get to interact up close with experts, including practitioners and top academics. And, even cooler, you build a community with other students across three different Harvard schools.
If you are a Harvard graduate student interested in getting involved in next year's study group, please feel free to reach out to fowstudygroup@hks.harvard.edu.

Prince of Tides 30 years on.
The Prince of Tides was released nearly 30 years ago...and I've just finished an updated director's edition working with Criterion on this new package for over a year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed doing it.
SCROLL DOWN - for John Bellamys personal account of this film.
We've restored the movie to a 4K restoration...and I combined commentary that I recorded in 1991 with new commentary that I recorded this past year. There is a special making-of featurette, along with some archival interviews recorded at the time of release, and a more recent interview I did in 2018. There's audition and rehearsal footage, deleted scenes and alternate takes, and costume and makeup tests.
When I put the movie out in 1991, I played around with alternate credits, and even considered adding my vocals over the closing credits, which I decided against (you can hear why in the commentary). Those alternate credits are in the package too. There's behind-the-scenes footage, a gag reel, a photo gallery, notes, and more.
I hope you can enjoy this package for years to come, and I especially hope it brings some comfort during these unsettling times of self-isolation.
This is the time when we're estranged from each other…thank God we have movies to see.
Thank you all, and thank you Criterion!
Barbra.

PLUS: An essay by film historian Bruce Eder
COMMENT FROM JOHN BELLAMY When I heard this film was gong to be having a Princess Diana Royal Gala Premier in Leicester Square London, I had to go.
I was living in London so it was not a problem. I managed to get two Circle seats at £380 the pair and asked a friend to join me, and he was as thilled as I was.
It was a huge amount of money but worth ever penny as I hoped to be sitting near someone famous.
We had to wear a Tux / black tie ( I went in tails ) and it was a right royal glam affair,. Red carpet. TV cameras everywhere. The entire cast attended and her Royalness - no not Diana although she was there - but Barbra herself. She sat 4 seats down and 4 seats to my right, and I have to confess that when the film started, I was so ingrossed in the storyline, I forgot all about the fact she was sitting just 20 feet away - with Nick Nolte etc.
After the film she gave a short speech about loving London and wanting to buy a house here, and how she gets less bother from the public here.
I was creaming my pants the whole time. She was right there, 20 feet away from me, looking round and straight in my direction. She saw me..... I saw her ..... Face to face....
After being a mega fan for decades - since I was 16 years of age - and now here she was right near me - live - not recorded. Live in person.
O.M. FUCKING G. Th film was brilliant and while I knew nothing about the story line, I was enthrawled from start to finnish. Now I read it is over 30 years ago, when I was in my mid 30's - and I remember every single detail about that night from beginning to end. The smell of the theatre. The seats, The ambiance. The excitement shared by all. It was a moment I shall never - ever - forget.,
Thank you Barbra Streisand. Thank you for a lifetime of wonder.

Some days you're fishing a baby wipe out of the potty and it's only 7:32am. At least you have a pretty swell weekend to reflect back on.
We got to the pool Friday just in time for a thunderstorm! So we didn't exactly enjoy splashing in the water, but we hung out poolside for a while as a family which was nice. After that, the girls had dinner and playtime with friends in the pool's kids club and Ian and I enjoyed a wonderful and amazingly quiet and calm (!!!) dinner together. I had the lobster roll and a glass of Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc, no complaints here!
Someone in our neighborhood was giving away these to Pottery Barn kids chairs so I snatched them up after the girls bedtime on Friday night. They were so excited to come down the next morning and see them! I need two new covers and want to have them personalized with their names, and then we are all set for family movie night or Saturday morning cartoons!
Saturday night I did something a little different and I went out with some local girls who also sell LipSense! We were gearing up for a training I attended on Sunday which had girls from all over the state and some that flew in from Oklahoma. Definitely a lot of fun and I have so enjoyed meeting some new friends. Never too old to keep making friends, right?
It was a weekend full of nice family time and also feeling proud of myself for going out of my comfort zone and making new connections. We ended the night perfectly last night, Ian grilled out some wings and we watched Dateline on the screened porch.
I've been enjoying a nice cold iced coffee in the afternoons! I just brew the coffee in our Keurig over ice, add in cream and splenda, and a few more ice cubes to finish it off.
This Toasted Coconut coffee is my current fave and it's actually Walmart brand, less than $5 a box!
Camille's photography game is improving. Only took 8 photos last night to get a clear one that didn't include her thumb or bare feet.
We just joined a country club! This is something we've been considering for a while, and Ian and I attended the orientation Wednesday night. I think it's going to be awesome for our family -- I foresee lots of great pool days and family dinners together. Plus they have a fitness facility I can start using instead of the YMCA, childcare is a dollar an hour, and everyone there is SO nice and welcoming. I'm really excited!
Yesterday Ian had a work-from-home day and my MIL was in town, so we all lunched together at Jason's Deli. This is actually a really great place to take kids. The girls ate so many healthy foods from the salad bar -- tomatoes, zucchini spears, carrot sticks, red and yellow pepper strips, hummus, hardboiled eggs, bean salad, watermelon. Plus fun things like pasta salad and mini-muffins. :) Char got to taste some of Camille's fro-yo at the end and mannnnn, HEAVEN. She kept saying "more" which sounds like "muhhhhh! muhhhhh!" every time Camille would give her a lick.
It's been a good, busy week in the lip biz for me, so I'm treating our home to some of my very favorite candles! The Voluspa candles burn slow, smell strong, and last a while. They even smell great unlit. Part of the Nordies sale now and down from $48, so I'm pouncing. You can find them HERE and the image below is clickable.
I'm here today to share two kitchen ... thingies ... that my kids love.
I have posted a few photos of my girls enjoying their cold treats with these popsicle holders and I always get questions about them! You can find them HERE on Etsy as low as $0.95/each if you don't get them personalized!
Recently we've been enjoying frozen yogurt pops which feels like a treat for them (we call them creamy popsicles) but is a total momming-win for me.
Do you have one of these crinkle cutter knives?! The girls both love a banana each morning and this makes the banana slices way more fun! You can use it for so much more -- cutting carrots, apples, making your own fries ... and did you know that you can take an empty jar of pickle juice, slice up a cucumber, stick the slices right in the juice and have homemade pickles in a few days?!
This cutter is perfect for making your own pickles! Less than $6 HERE on Amazon.
It's another crazy day in our house ... mama is still raspy-voiced and enjoying those lovely pills that can only be purchased behind the pharmacy counter (oy vey). I've been good about going to bed every night around 10 to try to get good rest. My own mom would tell me I need to be doing more salt-water gargles, so I need to get on that. I am DETERMINED to feel great tomorrow, mark.my.words.
Tonight we are having crockpot cube steak with gravy -- I'm using this recipe! Will report back if it's a winner.
Bathroom renovation is still going on and it's exciting... but Ian and I are really ready to resume normal life, move back into our bedroom, and start enjoying that bathroom. Today shower glass is being installed, and tomorrow the vanity is delivered! The vanity will be installed on Thursday. We are really making progress, folks, and next on the list is deciding on a paint color.
Charlotte's up now from her morning nap and we are going to enjoy a nice little lunch together before picking Camille up from summer camp! Hope your day is off to a great start, my friends.
Who Gets Sick In Summer?
Summer sickness is the werrrrrrrst.
All I wanted to do this weekend was enjoy the outdoors with my family, feel great, go to the new pool we joined, splurge on some junk food and sauv blanc and sunshine.
I have no voice, I've been coughing and sniffling and I just feel like ... yuckiness.
Oh, and the 5' long snake is back. Yes, I know he's harmless and yes I know black snakes are good and no we aren't going to kill him. Still don't want him hiding in my garage walls around the doorway, which is where he skittered off to.
So, off to the Minute Clinic I go as I sip my hot tea.
Post-bath babies are the sweetest babies.
It's Friiiiiii-day and I'm ready for a little break! Tonight I'm going to order from Door Dash which is a busy mama's dream. Yafo is calling my name (the yummiest Mediterranean cuisine). Do you have Door Dash near you ... if so, HERE is a link for $7 off of your first order! Yes ma'am!
My sweet mom gave me a little surcee yesterday when I saw her ... my favorite olives! I couldn't resist breaking open the jar last night while my oven pizza was cooling. Castelvetranos are the yummiest, freshest tasting olives!
Amazon Echo/Dot users, what are your favorite music stations for Alexa to play? I'm always on the hunt for great stations.
Those of you who shopped the Nordstrom sale ... what did you buy? What are the hidden gems? Of course there are the items everyone and their sister wants (I'm looking at you, $30 leopard ruana).
The ugly tile in our master bathroom was first broken July 3, so we are a few weeks in to our big renovation!
Today I am going to quickly share some of our goals and inspiration photos, as well as some progress shots! I think everyone likes to see a progress shot ... we don't all move from frog to prince in the wave of a magic wand.
There are so many wonderful online resources for inspiration photos (Pinterest, Houzz) and actual materials. Today I am going to showcase one of these resources for materials, Maykke, because they are specialists in bathroom makeovers and their prices are super competitive.
One of the first things we chose was our tub! I wanted a beautiful tub with smooth lines, a modern-ish feel, and preferably under $1000. You can find several freestanding bathtubs on Maykke that fit that bill.
Next up was looking at a wide selection of bathroom vanities. I wanted light gray or white, and I REALLY wanted an upper tower added for additional storage but also to bring the eye upward -- we have high ceilings in the bathroom.
The "jewelry" of our reno has been fun for me and way less stressful because the fixtures and lighting aren't what are costing the big bucks! We looked at several bathroom faucets before deciding on a fairly contemporary set. We've been working with an amazing designer who has challenged me to break out of my traditional comfort zone and add in some more modern pieces to really make it look updated.
Today I need to do something I don't really love to do -- have a "where do we stand" conversation about our budget with our tile guy -- because I think we just need to reign everything in and make sure the overall budget is being upheld. I'm not the most confrontational person, so I'll need to break out of my comfort zone!
And finally, here's a little board I put together that shows progress of the tile, the big light fixture we've selected to hang over the tub, and the countertop that will be on top of the white cabinets. I'm in love!
Grout starts today and we chose a light platinum color. It's been so fun to see it all come together.
Thank you to Maykke for allowing me to brag on your exceptional products and show some of my favorites from your wide selection!
When I was younger, one of my favorite books was Bread And Jam For Frances. Frances refuses to eat the food her family offers, preferring only bread and jam. Until the day that all she is ever offered is bread and jam ... morning, noon and night. You know how too much of a good thing can just be -- too much? Frances finds that out.
My mom gave that book to Camille and it's recently been her go-to. So you can imagine how excited she was when she got a Frances breakfast this morning ... bread with jam and an egg in a cup!
You can find it HERE on Amazon for three bucks! Definitely an adorable read. I think you'll see why it was one of my childhood favorites.
It's summah-time, and the living's easy, and Lilly hairbows are abound!
I will be posting a lot of these for sale today on my IG (@thetipsybunny) so please follow along and tag a friend!
I've continued taking on bow orders even though I've been really busy with LipSense and just life in general. Bathroom remodel, summer camp for Camille, and I've decided to run a marathon. WAIT NO. That last one is totally a lie. Ain't no way. Unless a zombie was chasing me.
Here are some bows I've made recently! I can't get over the pompom trim!
I even made a bowtie for a very special little boy who is in an upcoming wedding!
Thanks for following along, happy Monday!
Hi y'all and happy Friday!
Yesterday's post-nap activity was so cute and fun. We set up the little childrens' table on the screened porch with some coloring pages (taped down with washi tape, easiest coloring hack ever) and snacks. I was halfway petrified Charlotte would fall right off of the chair, but I need to let her be a big girl more and ... hover less. :) They had a great time, and this is special because my sisters and I used to do the same thing.
Alexa is IN THE BUILDING! We ordered the Amazon Echo (half price!) during this week's Prime Day and ... I'm sitting here right now sipping coffee and listening to "Paradise" by Coldplay simply because I said "Alexa play Coldplay." And that was after she gave me today's weather. I have a feeling we will be getting along nicely!
Well the Nordstrom sale hit big yesterday, and as much as I wanted to steer clear, I am a sucker for saving a dime or two. I am not a cardholder and really don't have the urge to be one, I just have to hope that what I want is left when the sale opens to everyone on the 21st.
Yesterday morning I took a screenshot of six items I wanted to try on, walked into the store, found an associate and asked her to point me in the right direction. I tried on what was available so that I know my exact sizing and can order online with curbside pickup when the sale is live to me.
My unexpected favorite ended up being this Mixed Media top. It's big and shapeless but looks cute with skinny jeans. This will be on my must-have list on the 21st.
If the Nordstrom sale isn't your jam but you do like the adorned sweatshirt trend like above, here's a fun round-up of what's currently on Thred Up ... the #1 way I'm buying clothes these days.
Scared about items not fitting? You send it back (prepaid envelope) for store credit ... easy peasy. I've done it before with a dress that was too short.
New customer with Thred Up? Here's a referral link from me that will take $10 off your purchase!
Hi ladies! And Happy Friday EVE! A little Thursday this and that.
So, yesterday was a wonderful day because I got to meet my friend's third baby girl! She was so beautiful, so perfect, and so teeny -- you almost forget how small these babies come!
I think she's going to be a total snugglebug and she already has the sweetest little disposition. She's perfection bundled up in a swaddle.
So, last night I went to a Norwex party (the environmentally friendly cleaning products) and was really wowed by it. I ended up buying a few of the cloths. If you're a representative, please drop your info below in the comments section so other people can shop with you! I ordered an Envirocloth and the window cleaning cloth.
Today I have a meeting with our bathroom designer at the countertop place. This has been probably the hardest thing for me to select because the tile we have all over our bathroom has a marble-type veining throughout it, YET that is the type of countertop look I usually like. But we need a countertop that looks different enough from the tile floors. I'm hoping we find a remnant that will look great with our white vanity/tower and THIS tile we've chosen from Home Depot.
Finally, for any of you who are looking for great snags from the Nordstrom sale, the Bella Tunno Boss Bag that I own and love is on big sale, $55 off.
I own this cognac color and absolutely love this bag and its' many pockets and accessories.
I took part in a photoshoot with them (they are HQed locally here in Charlotte!) last fall and here's the bag -- hanging from the stroller -- and the accompanying smaller inner bag shown in gray.
And if you are looking for a similar filigree earring like the one I'm wearing below, these KS beauties are part of the sale, down from $60 to $39.90.
That's all I've got for now. See ya'll back for Five On Friday!

Will organizations be able to deliver transformational customer experience? Digital disrupters point the way.
The connected economy continues its path of creative destruction, so much so that it is changing the nature of competition itself. Nearly all companies surveyed by Gartner (89%) believe that customer experience will be their primary basis for competition by 2016. For example, consumer product companies that have relied on developing new features, improved customer service and product innovation to drive growth now see a future where competitive advantage will be based on the customer experience.
In many industries, hypercompetition has eroded traditional product and service advantages, making customer experience the new competitive battlefield, says Jake Sorofman, research director at Gartner. With an overabundance of alternatives and ubiquitous access to pricing and product information, consumers have little reason to remain loyal to a particular brand.
Less than half of companies see their capabilities in customer experience as superior to their peers, but when asked to assess those same skills five years out, two thirds of those same companies believe they will be "industry-leading" or "much more successful" than their peers. To narrow the capabilities gap in customer experience, organizations must implement new tools, new people and changes in culture.
Mr. Sorofman recommends organizations design persona-driven buying journeys and invest in ethnographic research to uncover customer insights. People also play a role in delivering great customer experiences. Business leaders should consider appointing a chief customer officer as the locus of responsibility and authority for driving experience innovations across channels.
Finally, consider the impact of culture. Break out of the habit of incremental feature-driven innovation in favor of bold redesigns that deliver transformational customer experience. Redirect investment dollars away from traditional product investment to those innovations.
Growing your business will depend on your ability to deliver convenience and delight consumers in today's connected economy expect. The rules of competition have changed; the battlefield has shifted. It's time to prepare.

It has been 20 years since the ISM code became mandatory. Widely known as the 'International Safety Management Code', its implementation was a landmark for shipping industry given that for the first time, each shipping organization was obliged to develop an effective safety management. Namely, a "Safety Management System" is the core requirement for the ISM Code implementation; its aim is to ensure that safety is secured, humans are protected from injury and harm, and the environment and property are not damaged.


Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kanye West Marriage In Trouble After Fiery Taylor Swift Feud Creates Rift In Relationship!
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's marriage is in trouble, thanks to their fiery feud with Taylor Swift. There's new speculation that Kim Kardashian's Twitter war with the chart topper has caused some major problems with the rapper, as they've been fighting non-stop behind the scenes.
Sources say that a Kim Kardashian and Kanye West divorce might still happen this year, as the celebrity couple is dealing with a major crisis that is much bigger than their Taylor Swift feud. In fact, things are so bad that Kim Kardashian's leaked tape of Taylor Swift's phone conversation with Kanye West is nothing compared to what is really going on behind closed doors.
According to Radar Online, there's a very good chance that a Kim Kardashian and Kanye West lawsuit might break their marriage for good, as Taylor Swift's team has hinted that she might sue the couple for secretly taping her without her knowledge. In the tapes, Taylor Swift gives Kanye West her blessing to use her name in the lyrics of his song, "Famous," which is something that she has long denied.
To add more fuel to the fire, Kanye is supposedly livid that Kim leaked the tapes while the reality television star is sick of defending her husband and wants him to start "fighting his own battles." In fact, Kanye West thinks that all of this drama surrounding Kim Kardashian's leaked tapes is taking away attention from his music and ultimately, his talent.
Of course, this isn't the first time Kim Kardashian and Kanye West divorce rumors have been brought up. Fans have long noticed that the couple always looks downright miserable whenever they are spotted together and with all the pressure and demands that come from being the biggest celebrity couple in the spotlight right now, it will only be a matter of time before Kim Kardashian announces that her marriage has ended in divorce.
Tell us CDL readers, what do you think? Is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's marriage in deep trouble here because of Taylor Swift? Is this feud between the Keeping up with the Kardashians star and T-Swift final straw that is going to break the camel's back? Let us know your thoughts in our comments section below.
