September was a pretty chill month for me, and I spent quite a lot of it catching up with friends instead of working. That's the beauty of blogging – when you've automated everything, you can get away with working zero hours if you wanted to! Of course I worked way more than zero hours last month, but there were definitely days that I took off from working, just because I had already reached some of my income goals.
I started working on some of my own products and dabbling with e-mail marketing. When I say dabbling, I mean dabbling. I still haven't managed to set anything up properly, but I am working towards it. By the time that I do my next income report I should have everything in place.
If you wanted to check out my first product, check out Millenial Presets – these are the presets that I use to edit my own Instagram photos. Any kind of feedback on the sales page would be greatly appreciated as well!
I am also starting to write a short e-book about my success with Tailwind Tribes. By the time of writing this, I've almost reached 90k pageviews just from Tailwind Tribes & Pinterest, and I want to share my strategies for growth with you guys! I will do my best to have the e-book out at least in December.
Of course, I will be writing a few helpful posts covering the topic, but I will go into much more detail in the e-book. Pst, if there are any other products you would like to see from me, let me know in the comments!
Pst, if you like this article, please pin this image on Pinterest as it helps us grow!
Some screenshots: Amazon & MediaVine Note: I won't be giving all screenshots because a) It violates the TOS of some platforms like RewardStyle and b) There's not much point in me showing you every single one of my screenshots if they are a relatively small source of income.
*I've realised that RewardStyle figures keep changing as some returns are made. It's not like Amazon that reports each return as a negative sale on the day that it's returned – on RewardStyle they just take the sale away on the day that the purchase was made. The figure that I'm reporting here is the figure that was available on October 2nd, however the amount that I actually get paid is likely to be slightly lower.

I noticed an increase in engagement when I switched to editing my images with Millenial Presets and although I've heard similar stories from other people, I can't guarantee that this will always be the case.
All of my images on my Instagram page are edited with these presets, so if you are curious to see more, either click over to my Instagram page or read more about the presets here.
Like I mentioned earlier, I was actually going to skip this month's income report because my income hadn't increased that dramatically when compared to last month's, but then one of my pins went viral and I decided that it would be a good idea to document the change in traffic.
What has happened has been so insane and exciting – I've never had a pin go viral before! I was glued to my Google Analytics dashboard in September, refreshing the stats every hour to see how many more visitors had ended up on my blog.
At the end of the month, I had 78k pageviews (up 56%) and 47k users (up 69%), which is just insane to think about. This kind of month on month growth is something that I've never experienced before.
My strategy beforehand was to always focus on Google traffic, and with Google the traffic increase is slow, steady and very predictable. With Pinterest on the other hand, you can get crazy swings like what I'm currently experiencing.
My Pinterest views and followers have also gone up dramatically (I'm currently at over 3 million monthly views), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the traffic will just keep on coming, and never stop (ha).
However, it's probably not realistic to expect that my traffic will just continue to climb and climb, so I'm enjoying it while I can. Hopefully I can make some more pins go viral, but at the end of the day you never know which pins are going to take off.
How Did I Achieve This Growth?
As I mentioned before, I've achieved most of this growth by having a very aggressive strategy with Tailwind Tribes, but I also need to say that Pinterest Traffic Avalanche has been a big factor in my growth.
Pinterest Traffic Avalanche is a course that I took last month and although I already knew most of the material that was taught, there were some hidden gems inside that I implemented and that helped me gain momentum on Pinterest and increase my traffic.
If you are completely new to Pinterest, I would highly recommend that you check out Pinterest Traffic Avalanche before starting to implement more advanced strategies such as Tailwind Tribes.
The course covers everything that you need to know from what type of content you need to write to be successful with Pinterest, how to design pins that create traffic, how to set up your profile and how to do proper SEO on Pinterest.
Pinterest, Pinterest, and a hundred times more Pinterest! I am looking forward to taking both my Tailwind Tribes strategy to the next level as well as continuing to implement the tricks I learnt from Pinterest Traffic Avalanche.
My ad revenue jumped from $398 to $753 between August and September – that's a huge increase! Of course, part of this is due to the fact that I had 70% more users on my site, but part of it is also because MediaVine increased their RPM in September (RPM = how much you get paid per 1000 views).
Yes, you heard that right, we've finally entered the famous Q4, which usually means that bloggers will earn way more from their ads than what they did previously. My RPM jumped from $7.50 to $10 per 1000 page views which is amazing. So, if you're thinking of joining an ad network, do it before you miss out on the Q4 earnings!
To be honest, I can't really say what didn't work this month as everything kind of ran smoothly, which is great. The only thing that didn't work was me, mostly (ba dum tss). I'll report back next month if I've found things that are proving to be challenging.

So as some of you may know I attended my first trunk party for Stella & Dot last Saturday night. For those who don't know what a trunk party is, basically it is the best excuse for a personal shopping experience in somebody's house where you can relax with a glass of wine be surrounded by friends, family, etc., and shop, it doesn't get much better than that right? So Stella & Dot are very popular for these trunk parties as their beautiful unique jewelry and accessories are not sold in stores so therefore, they have fully trained independent stylists who host the parties and do the selling for them. Its a very unique way of selling and buying and the experience in itself is just brilliant.
So this trunk party I attended was held by my lovely neighbor Tracey who was extremely welcoming and very hospitable. She ensured everyone who wanted one had a drink and provided beautiful food and nibbles throughout the course of the night. Our stylist Stella and Dot host was a lovely lady from Banagher, Co Offaly named Anne Lyons Byrne. Anne was so informative, welcoming and answered any questions we had. She had set up a beautiful display of a selection of Stella & Dot jewelry, scarves, handbags, purses, make up bags, you name it it was there. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience this stunning hand crafted jewelry and accessories. we could hold, feel, try on anything we liked. There was no pressure put on us to buy anything at all and it was so laid back and lovely you could just look and shop at your own leisure. Anne stayed for approx 3 hours and I have to say she was a fantastic host. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in holding one of these trunk parties as she was very friendly, down to earth, chatty, informative and confident in her work. There were also Stella & Dot books we could look through too to see further pieces of this stunning range. Near the end of the night we put in our orders of what we would like and paid there and then it takes about 4-5 days for your delivery and it is delivered by UPS straight to your door so there is no work involved for the customer at all. It is a fantastic set up and hassle free.
So Stella & Dot are an American (San Francisco) based company. It was founded by a lady named Jessica Herrin, who was looking for something to balance work life with home life so she came up with this fabulous idea to give women the opportunity to be a parent as well as an independent working woman who could work around her children and set up a career for themselves. Another lady named Blythe then got on board with her and now they are both extremely successful business women who have opened many career opportunities to many women around the globe. They have been recognized and celebrated by New York designers and have featured in Gossip Girl and Lucky Magazine as well as appearing on the wrists and necklines of today's hottest celebrities.
Their stunning range of jewelry is all hand crafted and the detail in these pieces are absolutely exquisite. They are so unique and eye-catching. They vary in prices, some can be quite expensive but are so worth it if you need something for a very formal event such as a wedding, dinner, dance, etc. they are one of a kind and you can guarantee that you will turn heads wearing these fabulous pieces. They do all sorts from rings to earrings, from cuffs to statement necklaces. The quality of this jewelry is like no other. some of the jewelry can also be customized to how you wish to wear it.
Pictured is the stunning Casablanca Pendant Necklace, it can be adjusted and customized to your liking. 18.5" worn short and adjustable to 28". priced at 98Euro.
Stella and Dot also do some beautiful unique amazing quality hand bags purses and scarves. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be worn for all occasions. They are such good quality and guaranteed to last you forever. you can have some for casual day time or use the same bag for a dressed up day time. they are just stunning. The scarves are beautiful and can be worn again for day time or night time. They are fabulous. They also do these beautiful charm necklaces, they are so sweet. you buy the chain separate, choose the length you want they come in 3 different sizes, 16" for 22euro, 30" for 36Euro and open link 30" for 49euro. There are a wide range of charms to choose from to suit your personality. You can get lockets, birth stones, name initials, Celtic designs and more. The charms all vary in price starting from about 18euro. I loved these I thought they were such a great gift idea and if you have one your loved ones could then buy you some for occasions such as birthdays, Christmas,etc.
Their jewelry also comes in silver, gold and rose gold so you have plenty of styles, colours and ranges to choose from. They are definitely worth to have a look and a purchase. They are items that will last you a lifetime.

Q: Showing that $|P|$ divides $|A|!$ where $P$ is a $p$-group and $A$ is maximal abelian normal I'd appreciate verification of the following proof.  This is the part following what I asked in this question.  Thanks.
If $A$ is as in the linked-to question above (that is, $A$ is maximal among normal abelian subgroups of a $p$-group $P$, which implies that $A=C_P(A)$), show that $|P|$ divides $|A|!$.
Let $A$ be as described above.  Since $A \triangleleft P$ and $A=C_P(A)$, $N_P(A)/C_P(A)=P/A$ and by the "$N/C$ Theorem", $P/A \cong H$ for some $H \le \mathrm{Aut}(A)$.  It follows that $\frac{|P|}{|A|}$ divides $|\mathrm{Aut}(A)|$, which divides $|S_{|A|}|$, where $S_{|A|}$ is the symmetry group acting on the elements of $A$.  Also, we clearly have that $|A|$ divides $|S_{|A|}|=|A|!$.  It follows that $|P|=\frac{|P|}{|A|}|A|$ divides $|\mathrm{Aut}(A)||A|$ which divides $|S_{|A|}|=|A|!$, so we have $|P|$ divides $|A|!$.

A: Hint: $Aut(A)$ acts faithfully on the set of non-identity elements of $A$, hence $|Aut(A)|$ divides $(|A|-1)!$.

National Food Strategy: Part One
Date posted: 30 July 2020
Part one of the National Food Strategy has been published (Wednesday 29th July 2020) by Henry Dimbleby, offering recommendations for the future of food policy and trade.
The strategy commissioned by the government in 2019 is the first independent review of the UK's food policy in nearly 75 years. Its aim is to ensure a food system that is healthy, affordable, sustainable, resilient and productive.
The report comes days after the Government published plans to tackle obesity in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Part one provides 'urgent recommendations to support this country through the turbulence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and to prepare for the end of the EU exit transition period on December 31, 2020'. In particular, the report has criticised the promotion of high-fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) products, including unhealthy multi-buy offers.
A comprehensive plan for transforming the food system will follow in part two.
Recommendations in the report include:
Expand eligibility for the Free School Meal scheme
Extend the Holiday Activity and Food Programme
Increase the value of Healthy Start vouchers
Extend the work of the Food to the Vulnerable Ministerial Task Force for a further 12 months
Government should only agree to cut tariffs in new trade deals on products which meet core UK standards, which should be defined by newly formed Trade and Agriculture Commission
Government should adopt a statutory responsibility to commission and publish an independent report on any proposed trade agreements
A statutory duty should be adopted to give Parliament the time and opportunity to properly scrutinise any new trade deal.

Widely Used Hormone-Disrupting Pesticide Putting Millions at Risk, including Infants and Children
by Alex Formuzis
Genetic Engineering,
Health Issues,
pesticide 1000x667
The European Union recently banned two agricultural weed killers linked to infertility, reproductive problems and fetal development—the first-ever EU ban on endocrine-disrupting pesticides. That's good news for Europeans. But as in Europe, many endocrine-disrupting weed killers remain widely used on American crops, and from farm fields make their way into drinking water and food.
One of the most widely used and most troublesome endocrine-disrupting pesticides in the U.S. is atrazine. Manufactured by agro-chemical giant Syngenta, atrazine is sprayed mostly on Midwest corn fields and is consistently one of the most detected crop chemicals in drinking water.
Tests by the Environmental Protection Agency have repeatedly found atrazine in Midwestern drinking water sources that exceed levels of concern for infants and children. In 2009 The New York Times reported that an estimated 33 million Americans have been exposed to atrazine through their taps.
The hormone-disrupting qualities of atrazine have been well-documented, most notably by Tyrone Hayes, a professor of biology at the University of California at Berkeley. His extensive research has shown the chemical altered the reproductive systems in frogs.
In 2010, Hayes and a team of researchers exposed 40 male tadpoles to water with atrazine at 2.5 parts per billion – well within the EPA's established drinking water standards. Roughly one-tenth of the frogs that grew in the atrazine-tainted water become "functionally female," Hayes reported.
Atrazine is banned in Europe. But it is the second most-used herbicide in U.S. agriculture, with more than 60 million pounds sprayed on crops each year, behind only Monsanto's glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup.
Some farmers are reducing the need for herbicides like atrazine by switching to organic production methods or adopting new weed management strategies. But the federal government doesn't invest enough in supporting such innovative strategies.
Most federal farm spending supports and encourages large-scale industrial farming, dependent on chemical pesticides and fertilizers that pollute streams, rivers and lakes. Of the meager support for more sustainable farming, even less is dedicated to practices that reduce the need for pesticides. As a result, most farmers seeking financial help to reduce chemical use are turned away.

At San Francisco's 21st Silent Film Festival, Something for Everyone─through Sunday
The 2016 San Francisco Silent Film Festival features 18 silent feature films and runs June 2-6, 2016, at the historic Castro Theatre. The festival closes Sunday evening with Victor Fleming's 1919 masterpiece "When the Clouds Roll By", one of Douglas Fairbanks' last "Coat and Tie" romantic comedies before his switch to larger pictures where he earned the role of the screen's most dazzling swashbuckler. Fairbanks plays Boone Brown, a superstitious young New Yorker who becomes a guinea pig in a series of mind-control experiments conducted by his boss, Doctor Ulrich Metz (Herbert Grimwood), who happens to be a sadistic quack. The film was made during an era when Americans were obsessed with psychoanalysis. The film's special effects are exceptional. When Brown eats a meal that gives him indigestion, the process is represented by onions, lobsters and pie slices dancing merrily in his stomach. His dreams and fantasies are handled with very creative trick and slow-motion photography. And Fairbanks, who was always in top shape, performs a few of his fabled physical feats.

With the proliferation of film festivals in the Bay Area, each offering an overwhelming selection, it's hard to feel that any one of them is really that special. Here's one that truly is. The San Francisco Silent Film Festival (SFSFF), now in its 21st year, which kicked off Thursday at San Francisco's historic Castro Theatre and runs through Sunday. This long weekend of silents is the country's top silent festival and people come from all over the world to experience its magic. This is silent film as it was meant to be seen─on the big screen with live musical accompaniment and informative introductions by experts and with an enthusiastic audience. This year's festival offers a treasure trove of discoveries, rediscoveries and restorations─18 full-length feature films from all over the world. And on Sunday, there's a dazzling Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema program, curated by EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, that will present exquisite clips of hand painting, dyeing and stencil coloring from another 15 early short color films.
This year, there is an emphasis on film restoration. "We've gradually been dipping our toe into film restoration," said festival director Anita Monga. "Now, we're actually participating in restoration efforts. Our board president, Rob Byrne graduated from the EYE Film Institute's preservation program and now he's an itinerant restoration guy. This year, we have five films that we have been directly involved in restoring─René Clair's (The Italian Straw Hat (Un Chapeau de paille d'Italie)(1928) and his Les Deux Timides (1928) both in partnership with the Cinémathèque Française; Irvin Willat's Behind the Door (1919) in collaboration with the Library of Congress and Gosfilmofond of Russia; the hilarious 1926 Richard Wallace short film, What's the World Coming To? in collaboration with Carleton University and New York University. This film is part of our Sunday program on early cross-dressing Girls Will be Boys. Finally, there's Willis Robards' 1917 suffrage film, Mothers of Men, in collaboration with the Library of Congress, the British Film Institute, and film archivist James Mockoski."
The Festival's wonderful historical footage of foreign lands, old customs and great storytelling keeps me coming back year after year. When you see these films, you actually forget they're silent and become engrossed in the wonderful stories. And the enthusiastic and well informed audience is an added bonus. Do plan ahead: battling the traffic to get into the City and then to find parking is a huge a factor in the decision to attend an event or not. I recommend choosing one day on the weekend and coming in for two or three films. On Sunday, you can park on most streets in the Castro in one spot for the entire day without having to reload your meter or move your car. On Saturday, you're off the clock after 6PM.
Highlights of this year's festival include:
Saturday, June 4, 12:00 PM The Strongest (Den starkaste)
Set and shot in the Arctic Ocean, Swedish directors' Alf Sjöberg and Axel Lindblom's "Den Starkaste" (The Strongest) is an armchair traveler's dream. The story follows Skipper Larsen and his assistant, the itinerant sailor, Ole, who are planning the season's seal and bear-hunting trip to Spetzbergen with the ship "Viking." Ole is interested in Larsen's daughter, Ingeborg and the rivalry between the two men leads to stand-off in a frozen world under the midnight sun. The film team traveled to the ice-covered waters surrounding Bear Island and Spetzbergen for a three-month-long hunting and filming expedition with the idea of financing the film through bear and seal hunting. In the end, the crew proved to be miserable at hunting but the film is breathtaking. Accompanied by the acclaimed Matti Bye Ensemble, which makes an appearance at the festival almost every year.

Saturday, June 4, 5:15 PM Within Our Gates
A scene from Oscar Micheaux's "Within Our Gates" (1920), the earliest surviving film made by an African American director. The film explores racism and stereotypes as it follows an African American woman who goes North to raise money for a school in the rural South . Her romance with a black doctor eventually leads to revelations about her family's past and her own European, mixed-race ancestry. The film is a direct refutation of DW Griffith's 1915 racist epic, "The Birth of a Nation." Oakland Symphony conductor Michael Morgan will conduct Adolphus Hailstork's special musical score that was commissioned for last September's "Birth of an Answer" (BOAA) event in Virginia which celebrated African American responses to Griffith's film. Seven string players and 22 members of the chorus from the Oakland Symphony will perform. Image: courtesy San Francisco Silent Film Society.
Sunday, June 5, 10:00 AM Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema
Sunday's "Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema" program at the 21st San Francisco Silent Film Festival will offer a breathtaking display of the beauties of hand-colored cinema, from the era preceding Technicolor. Shimmering, iridescent examples of hand-painting, dyeing and stencil coloring have been drawn from the collection of Amsterdam's EYE Filmmuseum and include samples from 15 early short color films. Clips from early trick films and travelogues include images of Dutch windmills silhouetted against a crimson-burnished sunset, promenading Parisians, the fountains of Versailles and Algeria's dance of the Ouled Naïl, a form of Berber belly dancing which originated in the remote Atlas Montains.

If you're not, you could end up with excess body fat, poor muscle tone, digestive complications, muscle soreness -- even water-retention problems.
Next to air, water is the element most necessary for survival. A normal adult is 60 to 70 percent water. We can go without food for almost two months, but without water only a few days. Yet most people have no idea how much water they should drink. In fact, many live in a dehydrated state.
Without water, we'd be poisoned to death by our own waste products. When the kidneys remove uric acid and urea, these must be dissolved in water. If there isn't enough water, wastes are not removed as effectively and may build up as kidney stones. Water also is vital for chemical reactions in digestion and metabolism. It carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells through the blood and helps to cool the body through perspiration. Water also lubricates our joints.
We even need water to breathe: our lungs must be moist to take in oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. It is possible to lose a pint of liquid each day just exhaling.
So if you don't drink sufficient water, you can impair every aspect of your physiology. Dr. Howard Flaks, a bariatric (obesity) specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif, says, "By not drinking enough water, many people incur excess body fat, poor muscle tone and size, decreased digestive efficiency and organ function, increased toxicity in the body, joint and muscle soreness and water retention."
Water retention? If you're not drinking enough, your body may retain water to compensate. Paradoxically, fluid retention can sometimes be eliminated by drinking more water, not less.
"Proper water intake is a key to weight loss," says Dr. Donald Robertson, medical director of the Southwest Bariatric Nutrition Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. "If people who are trying to lose weight don't drink enough water, the body can't metabolize the fat adequately. Retaining fluid also keeps weight up."
The minimum for a healthy person is eight to ten eight-ounce glasses a day," says Dr. Flaks. "You need more if you exercise a lot or live in a hot climate. And overweight people should drink in an extra glass for every 25 pounds they exceed their ideal weight. Consult your own physician for their recommendations.
At the International Sports Medicine Institute, we have a formula for daily water intake: 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight if you're not active (that's ten eight-ounce glasses if you weigh 160 pounds), and 2/3 ounce per pound if you're athletic (13 to 14 glasses a day, at the same weight).
Your intake should be spread throughout the day and evening. You may wonder: If I drink this much, won't I constantly be running to the bathroom? Yes. But after a few weeks, your bladder tends to adjust and you urinate less frequently but in larger amounts.
And by consuming those eight to ten glasses of water throughout the day, you could be on your way to a healthier, leaner body.
The human body is composed of 25% solids and 75% water. Brain tissue is said to consist of 85% water.
It has become a practice to regard a "dry mouth" as a signal of body water needs, which is further assumed to be well-regulated if the sensation of "dry mouth" is not present. A dry mouth is the last outward sign of extreme dehydration, however. Damage occurs to the body at a persistent lower level of hydration. Because of a gradually failing thirst sensation, the body becomes chronically and increasingly dehydrated.
Further problems often develop when the sensation of thirst urges an intake of water, and instead, soda pop, coffee, or alcohol-containing beverages are taken to quench the thirst. While these beverages contain water, they are actually dehydrating fluids. Not only do they eliminate the water contained in them, but they also cause you to lose further amounts of water from your body's reserves!
Total per day 144.5 oz.
Divide by the number of hours you're awake to find your hourly water requirement: 144.5 ÷ 16 = 9 oz.
Therefore, a 150-pound active person who works out should drink 9 oz. of water for each hour awake.
This is only an estimate. "Actual milage may vary."

Call for a 3-yr PhD Position in Ecology, Phylogeography and Landscape Genetics
Posted on May 4, 2017 by Jonathan Lenoir
Incorporating Phylogeographic infOrmation into niche moDels to improve species re-distribution projections under climAte waRming and habitat fragmentation: the Case of forest-dwelling specIes across European agricultural landscapeS [PODARCIS]
Climate warming and habitat fragmentation are two key components of global change that push species to redistribute or evolve to adapt to the new conditions (Lenoir & Svenning, 2015; Pecl et al., 2017). To hindcast and forecast species redistribution under past and future environmental conditions, respectively, the state-of-the-art is to use species distribution models (SDMs) (Guisan & Zimmermann, 2000). However, traditional SDMs assume that individuals from all populations of a given species respond equally to environmental changes although different populations from the same species may respond differently to environmental changes (Valladares et al., 2014). The most recent scientific literature on SDMs suggests that incorporating intraspecific variation into SDMs leads to less pessimistic redistribution projections (Pearman et al., 2010; Oney et al., 2013). Both phylogeography (Guiller & Madec, 2010; Guiller et al., 2012) and landscape genetics can provide spatially and temporally explicit information on the genetic structure and differences among populations of the same species that could be used to incorporate intraspecific variation into SDMs and thus improve redistribution projections under climate change. This PhD project entitled PODARCIS specifically aims at incorporating intraspecific variation data obtained from a union of phylogeography and landscape genetics (Rissler, 2016) into SDMs. PODARCIS is part of the EU (BiodivERsA) project Woodnet and the regional (Hauts-de-France) project Pegase. Three model species of European temperate forests will be studied throughout the PhD project: the plants Geum urbanum and Oxalis acetosella characterized by different dispersal capacities as well as the tick Ixodes ricinus considered as the main vector of the Lyme Borreliosis in Western Europe and thus implying potential public health hazards. PODARCIS rests on three basic pillars:
Phylogeography and historical demography to determine the phylogeographic structure of each species and to disentangle the relative impacts of past versus current climatic changes in shaping the geographic distributions of genealogical lineages;
Fundamental ecology to develop SDMs adapted to each genealogical lineage and to compare these lineage-specific SDMs to classical SDMs at different periods (Pleistocene and Anthropocene);
Landscape genetics to identify landscape and environmental features that constrain genetic connectivity and thus to account for dispersal and gene flow across the landscape.
Climate change, ecoepidemiology, forest ecosystems, landscape genetics, phylogeography, population genetics, spatial statistics, species distribution modelling
The candidate is expected to have good training in statistics or mathematical modelling and have a strong background in ecology or evolutionary biology (population genetics and phylogeography). Typical PhD candidates will have a master degree in ecology or evolutionary biology. Basic knowledge and interest in ecology and landscape genetics is required. Experience in molecular genetics and GIS knowledge will be further appreciated. Programming skills in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) such as in the R and GRASS environments will be a clear advantage.

Turnitin and its expansion at the Universidad Continental of Peru, an experience of fast adaptation to new contexts
Universidad Continental de Peru | Americas Awards Finalist, 2021
Universidad Continental
Huancayo, Perú
The Universidad Continental is a private institution with 23 years of history that was founded in the city of Huancayo and later expanded to Lima, Arequipa and Cuzco. Its nearly 50,000 students are distributed in different modalities according to their preferences -Face to face, Hybrid and distance learning- and among its different programs: undergraduate, graduate, language center, specialization courses and the Instituto Continental, for technical careers.
In recent years, the institution has placed particular emphasis on achieving a positive impact from the activities, actions and projects in which it works, always in tune with the digital transformation and the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in terms of gender, equality and vulnerable populations.
"The Universidad Continental's mission is changing from an institution that provides services to students and faculty to one that increasingly serves the people of its community. That is our aspiration," states Cecilia Justino, director of the Information Hub and the Editorial Hub, about the university's changing challenges.
Change has become part of the institution's DNA, which sees itself as a constantly evolving and transforming entity. "There is a tendency towards innovation and continuous improvement; our procedures are constantly under review," says Roberto Sotomayor, research coordinator.
It is an intentional impulse that flows from the top down in the institution and that, as much as it seeks innovation, it also understands the processes of trial and error. It is in this ongoing process of searching for and experimenting with products and services that can serve both students and teachers that Turnitin is implemented at Universidad Continental.
Turnitin arrived at a key moment in terms of the challenges faced by the institution at the time, and those that would come later but were not yet known, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The first one, which is global in nature, has to do with the competitiveness that currently exists in the educational sector, as a consequence of the large number of institutions that exist and the variety of programs that are available all over the world. Related to the above and also to COVID-19's measures in this regard is the fact that, nowadays, it is possible to study from anywhere in the world, and therefore, it is crucial to keep up to date.
It is in this context that the second challenge arises: just as the university transformed all its services to the virtual scenario in March 2020, it is now preparing to offer different modalities in March 2022. "The university is facing these challenges; working precisely to be able to find a way to stay current, and to always offer added value to its students," adds Cecilia Justino.
But it was in 2016 when the university began to look for new tools to offer other services as its enrollment grew. The topic of originality was starting to be talked about more strongly in the educational field; in addition, the state itself was also creating guidelines and rules to regulate the way in which universities evaluated their theses. All this made the Universidad Continental look at Turnitin Feedback Studio.
Since its implementation, the problem of academic integrity has become visible, both in the field of research as well as at other educational levels. Thus, they began to work with concepts such as copyright, the importance of citation or referencing and, in general, intellectual property.
"Turnitin helped us to generate other means and other circumstances in which to work on the issue of academic integrity, not necessarily explicitly but also implicitly. And to reinforce these behaviors in students and teachers alike," explains Sotomayor.
Since then, the impact has been immense: after taking its first steps in the area of research and thesis writing, its use has expanded to a list of subjects, many of which have found a previously unimagined use for it, such as mathematics, neuroscience or law.
The students have not only assimilated the principles that Turnitin works with, avoiding bad academic practices more and more naturally, but they have also incorporated the good habits that come with its use. On the teachers' side the change is not minor: to the time savings generated by Feedback Studio they have now added Turnitin Draft Coach, a tool in which students, when creating their work, can obtain data to help them cite correctly and receive automated feedback, as well as a similarity report before submitting their text to the teacher.
"What I like the most about the tool is its evolution and how it has been adapting to new contexts: Turnitin has been perfecting its form and its work structure," concludes Juan Carlos Quispe, Coordinator of Information Technologies and Systems.
