CITGARD, a part of the CITGO Petroleum Corporation, will sponsor John Hunter Nemechek in the 2020 NASCAR Cup season as it expands its partnership with Front Row Motorsports.
CITGARD will back Nemechek in five races during his rookie campaign in the No. 38 Ford, beginning with the Feb. 16 Daytona 500.
It will return at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (July 19), Michigan International Speedway (Aug. 9), Bristol Motor Speedway (Sept. 19) and the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Oct. 11).

CITGARD was a sponsor for David Ragan in three races last year and made its debut with Front Row Motorsports in the 2018 race at Darlington when Ragan drove a Dale Jarrett CITGO throwback scheme.
"CITGO Petroleum is an iconic brand in NASCAR," Nemechek said in a press release. "Growing up in NASCAR, everyone knows the colors of CITGO and the past two seasons the CITGARD brand has brought the company back into the sport with FRM. It's awesome to join their team and carry on their tradition and winning history. I can't wait to represent CITGARD in the Daytona 500. There is no better race to start this relationship."

St Brides Partners
St Brides Partners Weekly Brief, 27th June 2020
To cut or not to cut? That was the burning question in the week that was. In the end, the UK Government opted to cut the 2-metre social distancing rule in half to 1-metre plus.
With a good ear and a fair wind, you could hear pub and restaurant owners across the land collectively sighing with relief. The move will, of course, require us all to recalibrate to the newly mandated distance, so we at St Brides thought we'd provide a few everyday examples of what 1 metre looks like to help the process along. For those of a musical disposition, a full-size guitar is one metre in length, give or take a few centimetres. For those with an average five-year-old in the household, toe to head ought to measure up to 1 metre with a handful of centimetres to spare. Not musical? Don't have access to a five-year-old? Five steps of your staircase should do the trick. Live in a bungalow? The width of the large fridge in your kitchen is just shy of one metre.
And speaking of food, this week's news suggests that we've all turned to comfort food and alcohol during the lockdown. Feasting in times of great change is not a new phenomenon; the Ancient Greeks were particularly well known for this with vast festivals held in honour of the god Dionysus. Not much has changed apparently. According to Just Eat, which has experienced a boom in recent months in line with Britons rising appetite for takeaways, orders for Greek food were up 116%, although Italian, Chinese and Indian foods remained the most popular.
The success of another takeaway provider, Deliveroo, hasn't gone unnoticed with Amazon was given approval to take a $500m stake in the business. Other winners in the sector include Premier Foods; demand for its baking products have lifted its sales by a fifth during lockdown. And finally, online retailer Naked Wines has reported an 81% jump in revenues in April and May with volumes of English wine up over 100% against April and May last year.
And now that 1 metre is the new 2 metre, who's to say that pubs and restaurants won't soon be joining the ranks of food winners in the weeks and months ahead as punters choose to tuck into a plate of Moussaka in a newly re-opened pub garden, sitting the obligatory 1m apart from their friends, and drinking English wine. Speaking of lockdown winners, you'll find a few more among companies in the St Brides' stable, which reported this week…
Bluejay Mining Plc (AIM: JAY) is delighted to have announced that its Public Consultation period for the Dundas Ilmenite Project in Greenland has commenced. The Public Consultation period has been extended from eight to ten weeks in length and heralds the start of dialogue regarding the Impact Benefit Agreement as well as collating the 'White Paper', which manages Bluejay's responses to questions that arise from the process. These requirements must be met prior to the finalisation of the Impact Benefit Agreement and the subsequent Governmental decision on an award or not of an Exploitation Licence for Dundas.
Oracle Resource Plc (AIM: ORCP) announced its final results to 31 December 2019. It was a year of significant progress for Oracle as it looks to develop one of the largest power projects in Pakistan at its Thar Block VI Project. With continued support from both the Pakistan and Chinese governments for development and financing, and the entering into a Joint Development Agreement with the private office of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Juma Al Maktoum and China Coal in December 2019, the board of Oracle are looking forward to progressing key items on the path towards reaching definitive agreements with their partners in the Thar Block VI Project.
United Oil and Gas (AIM: UOG) provided an update on its Abu Sennan field in Egypt. Production is now up to 13,900 boepd, 3,060 boepd net to United's 22% interest in the field, which represents a 69% increase on volumes recovered at the field as recently as April 2020. This follows recent drilling success with the El Salmiya-5 well. At the same time, the Company unveiled an upgrade in the field's reserves to 13.5million barrels which, when one takes into account production to date, represents a 190% reserves replacement ratio. A further reserves upgrade can be expected as this latest report did not take into account the El-Salmiya well. Not bad going for an acquisition which only completed in February this year.
A triumph for BlueRock Diamonds (AIM:BRD) who released their final results earlier this week for the year ended 31 December 2019. The very encouraging results demonstrated that revenue generated from the Kareevlei Diamond Mine in South Africa was up 190% to £4.1 million (2018: £1.4 million), carats sold were up 124% to 12,675 (FY 2018: 5,657) and production volume was up 70% to 323,000 tonnes (FY 2018: 190,000 tonnes). But it doesn't stop there, BlueRock's new operating team headed up by Gus Simbanegavi, achieved their target to reach an annual run rate of 400,000 tonnes and operational profitability through enhanced production at the end of 2019. Not to mention improving the average grade which was up 32% to 4.34 cpht (FY 2018: 3.28 cpht) and the average price per carat was also up 24% to USD415 per carat (FY 2018: USD334). Looking ahead, BlueRock's advanced strategy is to scale up the mine to a mid-sized mine, positioned for a material increase in production whilst reducing unit costs. These results follow the recent private sale of a parcel of diamonds completed in June 2020 at an average price of USD 290 per carat reflecting ongoing demand for Kareevlei diamonds.
Another set of positive results released from Cora Gold (CORA.LSE) this week from the bulk sample programme the Company completed in conjunction with Hummingbird Resources Plc (AIM. The test work explored the ability of the ore at Cora's Sanankoro Gold Project to be concentrated by gravity separation to a level that would be viable to transport distances more than 100km which could support a lower capex and faster route to cash flow for the Company.
FastForward Innovations Ltd (AIM: FFWD) invested a further €117,647 in Leap Gaming as part of its pro rata allocation of a €250,000 loan being provided by all shareholders. Leap Gaming has delivered a 123% year-on-year increase in gross gaming and a 95% y-o-y increase in revenues with 30 new customers signed and/or partnerships agreed and an expanded geographic footprint including ATP, NASCAR and Carnoustie. The funds will support this rapid growth and provide a bridge through to profitability, which Leap expects to reach in Q3 2020 under the present circumstances. Following this, FastForward announced that 888Sport, one of the world's leading online gaming and entertainment solutions providers, decided to extend its partnership with Leap Gaming which will see a variety of Leap Gaming titles become available through 888casino. The partnership will see 888sport host a selection of popular, ultra-realistic 3D virtual sports games from Leap Gaming.
Katoro Gold PLC (AIM: KAT) raised £1.1m, through an oversubscribed placing and subscription of new ordinary shares at 1.5 pence per share. With both the Blyvoor Gold Project and the Haneti Polymetallic Project at a pivotal point in their development / commercialisation, this bolstered financial strength now enables the company to accelerate the development strategies for all projects aggressively.
Kibo Energy PLC (AIM: KIBO) has signed a binding term sheet with an investment consortium consisting of several high net worth entities and individuals, including two of the company's largest shareholders, for up to £1m. The funds will be used to continue the development of Kibo's diverse energy project portfolio, comprising 1255 MW generation capacity approaching commercialisation. At its 65% owned Benga Project in Mozambique the company is on track to finalise a PPA with Baobab at the end of September this year and continues productive engagement with EDM with a PPA planned to be finalised before the end of 2020. In the UK Kibo is also making progress advancing various funding and commercial opportunities and anticipates bringing Bordesley into production before the end of 2020. The company also continues to make headway in Tanzania where it is awaiting further guidance from authorities regarding a new tender for coal fired power projects.
Dekel Agri-Vision (AIM: DKL) released its first set of finals this week. No need for an eye test, the West African focused palm oil producer changed its name from DekelOil during the year to reflect the diversified agriculture company it is set to become once the large scale cashew processing project it is developing at Tiebissou, Cote d'Ivoire comes on stream in H1 2021. Until then, Dekel's sole producing project is its palm oil operation at Ayenouan which for the year ended 31 December 2019 reported a 14% increase in Crude Palm Oil ('CPO') production to 37,649 tonnes and a 15% increase in CPO sales to 37,713 tonnes. A second consecutive year of poor global CPO prices, which dropped another 9% in the year to €491 per tonne, pegged back the Company's full year financial performance so that revenues and EBITDA came in at €20.9m (2018: €20.9m) and €0.2m (2018: €0.1m loss) respectively. Management expects to build on this in the coming year, as palm oil prices are currently trading at over US$600 per tonne and Tiebissou is due to come on stream.

Bad Cops, Good Drugs and Self Destruction: If you like FILTH, you'll love BAD LIEUTENANT (1992)
Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant is a film about your average cop: a corrupt headcase with a gun who was born to be a criminal, but turned out to be a late developer. If you like James McAvoy in Filth, you'll love Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant. This cop knows how to mix his drugs. He's also good at mixing his drug taking with a lot of stealing, drug dealing, screaming, whoring, and hard drinking. He does have some problems with gambling, though.
Ferrara is always willing to go to dark places, and in Harvey Keitel he found an actor who could go all the way. This NC-17 B-flick full of drugs, degeneracy, wild nihilism, suicidal apathy, horrific rape, and total self destruction is such a beautiful train wreck to watch that even Roger Ebert thinks it's wonderful. But it's not the subject matter that makes the film: it's Harvey Keitel. The parallels to Jon S. Baird's Filth (2013) are striking, specifically James McAvoy's reach-out-and-choke-the-audience performance.
Harvey Keitel plays the titular and unnamed Bad Lieutenant, the baddest of bad cops, who makes McAvoy's Filth corruption seem like schoolboy pranks. Keitel pulls the entire film up from its b-movie vibe. The cinematography is so bad it makes shot/reverse shot look nouvelle vague. But it doesn't make any difference at all while you're watching it. The visceral shock of Keitel's acting makes everything else peripheral. See the stills? They don't come close to matching the intensity of the performance at 24 frames per second. Rogert Ebert wrote, "Harvey Keitel plays this man with such uncompromised honesty that the performance can only be called courageous…" That's a delicate way to put it. It's better described as a performance of beautiful insanity.
Gambling his life away, lying, conning, thieving, stealing evidence, selling drugs, robbing criminals, sexually assaulting teenagers, snorting cocaine, smoking crack, smoking heroin, shooting heroin, shooting at people, shooting at car radios, and drinking to oblivion in a naked stupor while whoring with bondage hookers: this Bad Lieutenant is far too busy tearing his world apart to photocopy an image of his phallus just to pull the department secretary.
Now, if you're here for the existential nihilism like me, I have to warn you: it's not really the elusive nihilist film you've been searching for, because like most screen nihilists, this Bad Lieutenant comes with a twist. Unlike most filmmakers who deal with nihilistic characters, however, Ferrara's lens never really makes judgments. The camera just watches. And this is one hell of a spectacle.
If you want to see a more phillosophical brand of nihilism in action, check out Terrence Malick's Badlands (1973), whose lens is somewhat judgmental but leaves things open to interpretation. Mike Hodges' Get Carter (1971) glorifies Michael Caine's nihilist antihero. Mike Leigh's Naked (1993) is closer to the philosophical mark, and David Thewlis is as mesmerizing as Keitel. Finally, another worthy Ferrara film is King of New York (1990) with Christopher Walken as gangster antihero.
Ferrara is currently filming Pasolini starring Willem Dafoe as the infamous Italian poet, critic and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, in a portrayal of his final days leading up to his mysterious murder. Let's hope that film gets released because if there ever was a great cinephile biopic in the making, it's a story about Pasolini.

Nearly 7 million paper coffee cups are consumed every day in the UK. Yet, only 1 in 400 of those cups are recycled. That's because the polythene (plastic) that makes the cups waterproof is difficult to recycle, as special processes are required to separate the plastic from the paper.
To tackle this paper cup problem, G. F. Smith have found a way to transform the use of these millions of cups to become reused: By partnering with CupCycling, G. F. Smith were able to recycle 90% of the waste of each cup and convert it back into FSC certified paper fibre. Wow!! This news absolutely delights our creative agency, sustainable packaging and design is our passion and our area of expertise, we can't wait to use the new 'Extract' range!
CupCycling was created by James Cropper and is the world's first recycling company dedicated to upcycling take away cups and are 'set to drastically reduce the 2.5 billion take-away cups estimated to be thrown away in the UK each year' by turning them into paper. The remaining 5% polythene in each cup is recycled by a reprocessing partner – making CupCycling a zero waste process.
Each sheet of Extract paper consists of at least 5 upcycled coffee cups and is available in ten colours, which are all inspired by nature and the environment.
However, G. F. Smith also notes that its paper is not a long term solution to the world's coffee cup problem 'but rather [their] contribution to try and tackle a global design problem'. The paper producer states that once a sustainable paper cup design has been developed, they'll discontinue the Extract range.
G. F. Smith's Extract range is a great example of how companies can help tackle environmental problems, and something all creative agencies should offer to their clients. Let's raise our cups and toast G. F. Smith for offering such a fabulous sustainable solution in our creative world.
If you're in need of a new, sustainable design solution for your brand, contact CuCo today on 01202 911959 or email hello@cucocreative.co.uk – we'd love to help!

Pitch Report Of CSK Vs DC Qualifier 2 Match Prediction image source
CSK Vs Dc Qualifier 2 Match Prediction: The pitch at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam is one of the batting tracks across the country.

The current butterfly list for North-east England includes thirty five species. These range from very widespread and common species such as Meadow Brown, and Large White to species with extremely restricted distributions such as the Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary.
Of course the distribution of butterflies is subject to constant change and historical records (reviewed by Dunn and Parrack 1986) indicate that some species that are no longer present were once widespread in the region. Examples of such species include the Pearl Bordered fritillary which was well known in the region in the nineteenth century but now no longer occurs. Other species' fortunes have ebbed and flowed over the decades. The Comma, for example, was common in the nineteenth century but was then extinct in the region for much of the twentieth century before returning in the 1990s. Speckled Wood has become established in the coastal denes of County Durham during the present decade and Brown Argus and Gatekeeper may be examples of species that are poised to expand into the region.
Whilst the reasons behind these changes may not be known in detail a number of factors are clearly important in determining the fortunes of the region's butterflies. Habitat change has undoubtedly been the most important of these in the past with land drainage and 'improvement', afforestation, lack of management and redevelopment of brownfield sites all having significant consequences for butterflies and other invertebrates. Climate change may now be a new and important influence on butterfly distribution and may lie behind the northward spread of species such as Speckled Wood and Small Skipper, amongst others. The northerly position of the region, at the edge of the range of a number of species, may provide a particularly interesting opportunity to observe the impacts of climate change on butterfly distributions.
Monitoring the changing distributions of the region's butterflies and understanding the underlying causes are essential tasks if we are to protect and ensure the survival of our butterfly fauna. All records contribute to this and the North East Branch welcomes records of any species observed within the region. A recording form and instructions for submiting records are provided in the downloads section of the website.
The table below lists the butterflies that can be seen in North East England with brief comments on their status. Clicking on the english name for each species takes you to the relevant species account on the national Butterfly Conservation web-site.
Dingy Skipper Erynnis tages Priority Species Uncommon resident, occurring particularly on former industrial sites. Northumberland BAP species, Tees Valley BAP species.
Speckled Wood Pararge aegeria Not listed Recently established resident. From initial sightings, mainly in Durham's coastal denes, this species has spread over much of both counties mostly in the years since 2005.
Marbled White Melanargia galathea Not listed Small colony introduced at Wingate quarry in 2000. Occasional records away from this site.
Grayling Hipparchia semele Priority species Resident, stronghold is on the coastal dunes of Northumberland, especially on Holy Island. Tees Valley BAP species.


The perfect RV travel nursery for baby! It is compact, easy to fold and store, comes with a diaper station, bassinet insert, and lots of storage! A great option for a summer on the road. This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure at the bottom of my website for more details.
This is the first, of what I'm sure will be several, posts while we are living the simple life…in our travel trailer! We decided last year that, with 5 children and a dog, hotels were no longer a practical option for long distance travel. So we ordered a trailer for our big cross-country move from California to Virginia this summer. When our California home went into contract after only four days on the market, it was evident that our timeline was going to move up considerably! Thankfully our trailer was ready, and here we are. Living as a family of 7 in our 27′ travel trailer in an RV park at the local Air Force Base until the school year ends and we start our trip to Virginia. How's life right now? It's AWESOME. We are comfortable, housekeeping is a snap, and it's such a cozy home for us.
Mac was a huge factor in our decision to get a trailer. After a long day of driving it will be so nice to park and set up our little home. A place that he is familiar with. We are keeping the driving days to 6 hours so that he has plenty of time out of his car seat.
His gear takes up quite a bit of space in the RV, but he is comfortable and happy—which makes the rest of us comfortable and happy.
We even had a tiny bath tub designed just for him. Kidding—but seriously, doesn't it look that way?
RVs are made to be compact, light, and towable. Ours has a side pull-out to give us even more space when we are parked. This also allows us to set up a nursery for Mac!
Our RV is packed full of cupboards and clever storage areas. They really did a great job with that, but we still needed more.
When looking for a travel bed for Mac, the Joovy Room caught my eye because of the storage capacity! Never before had I seen a travel crib with so much to offer.
It fits right in front of the entertainment center and can easily slide forward when those cupboards need to be accessed.
It has a bassinet feature for babies 15 lbs. or less and a changing table on top for babies up to 25 lbs.
When the table isn't in use I can flip it over and it hangs from the side.
And the storage. DID I MENTION THE STORAGE? Again, this is why I chose this specific play yard for Mac. The giant side pocket is perfect for storing a spare waterproof sheet. One came with the play yard, and I have another on hand for easy changes.
There is even a side storage caddy that slides into place. I can take it on and off easily if I need more space vs. storage. It has areas for holding diapers, wipes, clothes and any other baby items that you may need within reach. We actually have room to keep it set up while driving down the road, but the Joovy Room does fold down and even comes with a carrying bag for travel.
Because we started having Mac sleep in his Joovy Room two months prior to moving into the RV, transitioning him from the house to the RV was a breeze. He was the only one in the family who brought his bed with him!
As you can see in the photos, Mac's Joovy Room takes up quite a bit of space in the RV even though it isn't any larger than a standard travel crib/play yard. Many in our situation might choose to co-sleep, but it makes me nervous to do that on a regular basis. I also needed a safe place for him to be while I take showers or go outside to let the dog out. When he outgrows the bassinet feature I'll remove it and he will have a nice deep play yard that he can use for naps or playtime.
Traveling with a baby definitely has its challenges. This is our third cross-country move with a baby under a year old. We've learned to go slow, take our time, and enjoy the ride. And it really is a great ride! The military is making us move so we might as well make it an amazing family vacation, right?
Stay tuned for more photos of our home on wheels as we make our way east! Follow along on instagram #TheNelsonsMoveAgain.
Thank you, Joovy, for collaborating with me on this post. I selected the Joovy Room as the perfect travel bed for Mac and received one in exchange for sharing our story with you!
Thank you for posting this. We have decided to join the RV, PCS family. We came to the same realization. It is so much nicer to have your stuff in a practical place during a cross country try move. I have a 3 month old who will be 8 month when we move and I didnt have any encouragement how to deal with him, so thank you!
Oh, I'm so glad! We are so glad that we moved before he was a year old and really mobile. He wasn't crawling very well yet and it was actually perfect! Other than the fact that his items take up a bit of space in the RV!

Tripura: AAI team visits Kailashahar Airport to explore resumption of service
Agartala: A team of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) visited the Kailashahar Airport in Tripura's Unakoti district to explore the feasibility of resumption of air service, officials said here on Wednesday.
The airport located near the Indo-Bangla border has been shut down since the early 90's on account of lack of adequate passengers.
The six-member AAI team led by joint general manager (Operations) Dubdulal Chowdhury on Tuesday inspected the old airport and also Hiracherra tea estate, an alternative place for setting up a greenfield airport in presence of District Magistrate (DM) of Unakoti, Uttam Kumar Chakma.
Later, they held a meeting with the DM, Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Kailashahar, Shanti Ranjan Chakma and Vice-Chairperson of Kailashahar Municipal Council, Nitish Dey as part of a feasibility study on setting up a greenfield airport at Hiracherra tea estate instead of reviving the old airport.
The AAI team visited the old airport and the proposed site – Hirapur tea estate – to conduct a feasibility study on setting up a greenfield airport, the District Magistrate said.
We had a detailed discussion on setting up a greenfield airport at Hiracherra tea estate because the old airport is so small and possibility of expansion is very remote because of land scarcity , he said.
However, the AAI team is "not satisfied" with the possible site for establishing greenfield airport at Hiracherra tea estate because the place is hilly, which doesn't suit the AAI's guidelines for setting up a new airport, the DM said.

John Cleese: MAGA Means Hating Monty Python
By Christian Toto Mar 19, 2018 5:57 PM ET
John Cleese is at an age where he doesn't care what others think about him.
The "Monty Python" legend, now 78, cussed up a storm during a recent "Tonight Show" appearance, cracking up Jimmy Fallon while giving the show's censors a workout.
Cleese is equally uncaring when it comes to alienating potential fans… or folks who still might line up to see him on stages across the nation. Thus, his campaign against all things Trump.
Last year, his anti-Trump diatribe on "The Nightly Show" generated thousands of views (the current total? Just shy of 3 million views).
"Trump supporters … still think he's great, but these are the stupidest people you've ever meet," he cracked.
A few months later, Cleese critiqued both Trump and the sorry state of American film comedies. Here's his take on the latter:
"The sad thing that happened a few years ago was that older Americans stopped going to the cinema. So then they decided that the way to get people actually into the cinema was to make films that appeal to American males of about 19 years of age. The trouble with American males of 19 years of age is they have no general knowledge, at all. They have no idea where Bosnia is. If you went out to the street in New York and asked them, "Where's Bosnia?" they wouldn't have a clue.
As for Trump, Cleese said at the time that the Reality Show Star in Chief is making it hard to be funny.
Trump has done comedians a disservice, because how can you match that? You can't be funnier than Trump. And it's real. Odd behavior, strange behavior, is much funnier if it takes place in a conventional atmosphere than if takes place in a distorted atmosphere.
Much more recently, Cleese was at it again. This time, he brought his beloved comedy troupe into the discussion. The legend appeared on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," a reliably progressive talk show perch. Here's Cleese telling Meyers why the subset of Trump and Python fans is so tiny, allegedly.
CLEESE: "Most Python fans aren't Trump fans. Let's face it." (Crowd cheers)
MEYERS: "Yeah. That's true. There's not a lot of — "
CLEESE: "And if I — if I do a Trump joke sometimes you can see somebody go — and they get up and they'll walk out to the aisle. And I say, 'Was it the Trump joke?' And sometimes they say 'Yes!' And sometimes they go — [Cleese waves a select finger in the air known for showing displeasure]"

Diversity & Inclusion – Guest post by Michael Stuber
What should be seen as a business case and common sense turns out to be a long-lasting challenge for people and organisations
While differences have always existed in societies and certainly in business organisations, the phenomenon of diversity has become a disruptive force over the past 25 years. The end of the East-West-Divide, in combination with the emergence of the Internet, initiated not only the Third Industrial Revolution, but also a fundamental paradigm shift in the way many people live and work (together), at least in the Western world. Changes include an unprecedented growth in individuality (and hence diversity), a strong preference for multi-cultural environments (including the workplace), and multiple new ways of collaboration and communication. To that end, all levels of human cognition have been impacted, which provides huge opportunities for the business world but also challenges.
Reaping the disruptive value of Diversity
In order to realise benefits from diversity, the value-chain of Diversity & Inclusion needs to be managed carefully and ideally in a systematic way: Differences can only be turned into competitive advantage when openness prevails – individually and in the organisational culture – and inclusive processes, behaviour and communication are applied. The benefits of getting this value-creation process right have been proven by 205 robust studies portrayed in the International Business Case Report. Some studies highlight that in order for diversity to add value, a healthy conflict, e.g. through minority dissent, is required. This hint for existing challenges is only the tip of an iceberg, nowadays discussed under the headline of Unconscious Biases.
Hindering the productive disruption of Diversity
While the term 'Unconscious Bias' most often describes specific types of implicit associations, my analysis of existing research from the past decades suggests that it serves perfectly to describe six types of biases in three areas that have one thing in common: Making it hard for individuals, teams and organisations to tap into the potential of Diversity by consistently practicing Inclusion. The main categories of Unconscious Biases that are of immediate relevance to Diversity Management include personal / human preference for sameness, stereotypes about 'others', biased application of (theoretically) meritocratic processes, micro-inequities, unwritten rules in mono-cultures and the organisational preference that reproduces success types of the past. The dynamics can be observed on individual, process and organisational levels, and some biases stabilise each other in a way that makes mitigation a complex task.
Making Diversity & Inclusion work is complex
Over the past twenty years, a number of success formats dominated each of the different eras – each claiming to be the silver bullet everyone was looking for. In fact, the critical questions representing resistance against diversity, inclusion or both, have not changed much over the past decades. What's in it for me? For the business? Why change in the first place? Is there any urgency at all? These and other common questions show quite clearly that a complex change strategy must be designed in order to nudge people and organisations towards overcoming initial and subsequent barriers, and gradually unleashing the power of differences. A combination of different change models has proven to be advisable: The generic trifold model of leadership, tools and cultural change serves as a backdrop against which more D&I specific approaches can be designed. The different types of Unconscious Biases provide another template for developing roadmaps. Multi-phase models for organisation development, such as Kotter's 8 steps, make timing more effective. Finally, the value-creation model of D&I provides quality check points to know if your strategy will eventually lead to the desired benefits. One more thing still needs to be added to the complexity: Stakeholder management continues to be a challenge in many or most D&I processes. For the perceptions, personal convictions, needs and possibilities of different target groups and individuals within those target groups vary a lot.

One of our staple summer vegetables, Amaranth (bayam) is easy to grow. From an initial planting three years ago, we have allowed successive crops to self-seed. As a consequence, we have an enormous number of plants sprouting each new spring: they are prolific!
Many of these plants will grow in positions preventing access to parts of our gardens. These are the first to be culled for the fry-pan.
Amaranth, however, can be 'topped'. It will continue to send out nutritious side-shoots throughout the summer and autumn months. I will place a simple recipe for Amaranth stir-fry in our recipes section.
N.B. Seed can normally be purchased at Asian grocery stores in Sydney.

Ghost of Tsushima — How Big Could the Map Be Compared to inFAMOUS: Second Son?
Giuseppe Nelva
December 17, 2017 5:41 PM EST
EditorialsPS4
Sucker Punch's PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima will probably have a very extensive map, but just how big could it be? We take a look at the possibilities.
Over the past few days, I have been going in-depth in the history and setting behind Sucker Punch's upcoming open-world game Ghost of Tsushima. Part 1 of my analysis looked at the Mongol invasions of Japan that surround the events of the game, and Part 2 will take a look at the setting focused on the island of Tsushima itself. So you can consider this Part 1.5.
Ghost of Tsushima — The History of Sucker Punch's New PS4 Exclusive (Part 1)
One of the interesting aspects of an open-world game is the size of its map. If you have played inFamous: Second Son, which is Sucker Punch's latest full-fledged open world game (alongside its spin-off First Light), the map may have felt large because it was a quite dense urban environment, but it really wasn't one of the biggest open worlds out there. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even close.
Sucker Punch never officially mentioned (at least to my knowledge) the precise size of the map of the game, but we can still obtain a rough measurement. First of all, we rebuilt the map in a handy image format, since the game never shows the full thing.
Now that we have our map, we can set out to measure it. To do that, we have to fish deep into the content of an old (but extremely interesting) panel hosted by Lead Engine Programmer Adrian Bentley at GDC 2014. There we learned that when using his neon powers, Delsin could move at a speed of 20 meters per second. Any faster and the engine wouldn't have been able to stream the assets of the world fast enough.
inFAMOUS: Second Son's Characters are 120,000 Polygons; 11 Million Rendered Regularly by the Engine
At this point, it's simply a matter of timing a straight line run of one of the map's street, a couple of equations, and we come up with a rough result: the map you see above measures approximately 2,246 meters by 2,188 meters. That's 3.73 square kilometers or 1.44 square miles. Yes. I know, it was pretty small.
By comparison, Skyrim's map measures 14.3 square miles. This is an interesting look at the fact that a dense urban map can feel bigger than it is, as opposed to a map made mostly of wilderness.
Now, let's compare that with real-life Seattle, which is much, much bigger.
The map above below measures about 18 km by 25 km. According to Wikipedia, Seattle covers an area of 142.5 square miles (369.2 square kilometers). Yep. That's 100 times bigger than the map in the game. Of course, that kind of size would have probably been really impractical for the game, and populating it with models and content would have taken a much longer time without using procedural tricks.
Now, let's take a look at the island of Tsushima. From the info we've been given, it appears that the game is entirely set on the island itself.
Since it's an island you may think it's fairly compact, and you would be wrong. Tsushima is a big chunk of land. As a matter of fact, if you exclude the four main islands of the Japanese archipelago (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido), Tsushima is the fourth largest in the country. Here is a handy map.
The map displayed above measures roughly 30 km by 70 km, and according to Wikipedia, the whole island covers an area of 273.6 square miles or 708.7 square kilometers. It can pretty much fit two cities the size of Seattle, and that's just counting the area covered by land. Considering the irregular nature of the island, it feels even bigger in comparison.
Let us compare the three maps.
As you can see Tsushima has the potential to be a really big game world if you compare it with Seattle. Can you see the map of inFAMOUS: Second Son in there? I had to put a big red arrow to help you.
For inFAMOUS: Second Son Sucker Punch aimed to create a city that felt like Seattle, without creating a 1:1 reproduction. This was done for simple practical reasons in terms of development time and resources, and also to keep gameplay focused. It was pretty much a city-shaped superhero playground, and scaling the city down considerably, alongside altering the geography made perfect sense.
The question is, what will they do for Ghost of Tsushima?
Developers don't always apply the same solution to different games, and while we're still in the PS4 generation, technology has evolved considerably since 2014. Open worlds are getting bigger and bigger, and the recent example of Assassin's Creed Origins shows what a team with a good engine and enough resources can do (even if there have been bigger examples, like Just Cause 3).
A 1:1 reproduction of the real map of Tsushima would probably be doable, but this doesn't mean that Sucker Punch will go for it. As you'll see in Part 2 of my feature, the island is a natural paradise the vast majority of which is covered by mountains and forests. This means that populating it with content is probably easier and quicker than a dense urban environment like Seattle. Yet, we still can't answer the question of whether it would make sense gameplay-wise or not.
It takes hours to cross the map of Assassin's Creed Origins on foot. Even considering the fact that we'll most probably have access to horses and fast travel, it depends entirely on Sucker Punch designers to determine whether they want us to spend a long time riding around instead of fighting Mongols. While recent trends demand larger and larger maps, there is no single right answer, so this remains an unknown.
Sucker Punch has been rather clear in mentioning that the game is the biggest they have ever made, and it has been in the oven for quite a while now. Considering the real-world size of Tsushima, there is certainly the potential for an enormous map, especially considering to the tiny one featured in inFAMOUS: Second Son. What remains to be seen is whether it'll be scaled down and by how much.
Ghost of Tsushima Is "Much Larger" than inFamous: Second Son; Sword Fighting Already Playable
The developer also shared that the environments shown in the teaser trailer of the game were in-game, and one rather wide shot shows a very extensive vista. This appears to indicate that they haven't scaled the world down all that much. Assuming that the mountain in the picture is the highest peak on the island (Mount Yatate) seen across Aso Bay, we could be looking at 1:5 to 1:10 scale, but that's just me trying to eyeball it, so take it with a massive grain of salt.
Ultimately, it's safe to assume that we can expect a lot of densely forested areas, super-scenic vistas from the top of untamed mountains, and a large chunk of ground to cover. Personally, I can't wait.
Ghost of Tsushima doesn't yet have a release window, but it will come exclusively for PS4. If you want to learn more, you can enjoy some data recently provided by the developers, the first trailer, and some lovely art.

My hubby to be and I are always on the go. Whether I'm accompanying him on out of state business meetings, poker tournaments, or we're jetting off on holiday, its safe to say that we travel a lot. Even Ace is a frequent flier! I could honestly do a whole separate post on how to travel with a small dog!
Packing for myself used to require hours of preparation and would give me anxiety on many different levels. I used to be that girl who NEEDED all those shoes, "just in case". As is the case with most things in life, the more that you do something (in my case travel), the better that you become. I can now easily pack a 4 day day trip in a carry on and feel at ease about it - no more anxiety! I have tried & tested many different products and methods on my quest to fine tune my packing skills, and it is my pleasure to share with you all that I have learned along the way!
On my weekend trip to NYC last month, I packed 1 pair of shoes. No joke! One pair of heels, and my Rag & Bone Harrow booties that I wore on the plane. This is worlds away from how I used to travel! Sticking to a neutral color palette takes away the serious headache associated with packing your wardrobe options. I always build my options around what shoes I want to bring that I will get the most use out of. So for instance, if I wanted to wear my comfy brown leather riding boots I would pack shades of creams & browns that would coordinate with my boots. I try to stick to either creams & browns, or black, whites & grays. You can always add a pop of color with great accessories, like a statement necklace, a colorful scarf, or an amazing purse. I always make sure that I can mix and match my tops and bottoms, ensuring multiple different outfit options out of only a few pieces.
Rolling your delicate items not only utilizes space, it also prevents your items from becoming extremely wrinkled! I neatly align all my folded blouses onto one long pillowcase and working from one end to the other, roll it up. Packing dresses too? Lay out another pillowcase, and repeat. Its so simple, and trust me it works!!
I seriously looked for months before I found a travel bag that I was happy with. I bought the Bobbi Brown makeup organizer from Nordstrom.com and it is amazing! I love the fact that its compact and can neatly fit into my carry on. It has built in brush holders, zippered compartments, and can easily hold all of my daily makeup and then some. I used this baby on my last trip to Europe, and with a little strategic placement, it held all that I needed for a 2 week vacation. Get it here. Another tip with regards to packing makeup is to always place a tissue in your makeup palettes. It helps them from breaking. I started doing this over a year ago and it truly helps!
Bringing a slipper bag or a small cloth shoe bag are great for undergarments. It keeps everything together, no more loose socks tumbling around in your bag. I slip my bras, undies, and socks into into a small bag and its so discreet in my carry on. On those annoying occasions when my bag gets searched, I don't need the security guy knowing my preference for underwear and this helps with that problem!
If you ever travel with me or see me in the airport, you will see me wearing the same outfit every single time I fly. It has become my go to travel wear, tested time and time again without fault. First and foremost comfort is my top priority, but a girls got to look cute and fashionable also!
Above is the exact outfit I wear every time we fly, view the set and purchasing info on polyvore by clicking here. The leggings are of great quality by BCBG. I love them because they are super comfy, they never wrinkle (even on the longest of flights), and they are lint resistant. SCORE!! The convertible sweater is from Allsaints, and can be worn either as a cardigan or you can slip your head through the hole on the reverse side, and voila, it is a perfect wrap style sweater! The Rag & Bone booties are easy to slip on and off when whisking through airport security, not to mention they are casual chic perfection. My roomy Joie tote holds everything I need plus it matches my LV duffel bag perfectly. I always pack a long scarf that can double as a blanket since the temperatures on all flights seem to border that of the Arctic.
Always use an ultra moisturizing face mask the night before your flight. My skin absolutely hates the recycled air on airplanes! I found Burts Bees Intense Hydration treatment mask w/ clary sage to be the best affordable option. I always apply it the night before I fly, right before bed.
If you wear sandals, or Uggs on your flight (basically anything that wouldn't require socks) always, always, pack a pair of socks in your tote. There is nothing more disgusting than the airport floors, especially going through security. How yucky having to tip toe barefoot on top of everyone elses smelly foot germs!
Pack healthy snacks for the flight (almonds, fruit, protein bars) so that you aren't tempted, and don't forget to chug that water!
Pack a good hand moisturizer. Nothing dries out your hands more than the low quality, moisture zapping soap that airports & airplanes use. The Body Shop makes great travel sized hand moisturizers.
This might be the best tip that I give you! True Story: My bag gets searched pretty often. Apparently I look like a suspicious character :) I always politely ask the security to put on new gloves before rifling through my belongings, and they have yet to say no. I do get weird looks from them, but they always oblige. The thought of them fondling everyone elses germy belongings before touching my precious goods freaks me out! Yes, I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe but airports are icky!
I hope that you find this information helpful! Please give feedback and I would love it if you shared your travel tips with me!


The latest MMORPG from the Korean developer behind Guild Wars and City of Heroes, Aion was first released in Korea and China in 2008 and early 2009, respectively, winning the "Best Korean Game of the Year" award for its "epic scale, immersive story, and stunning graphics and sound design". Running on 225 servers across South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan, the game made $32.7 million in revenue in NCsoft's last fiscal quarter. Now, after undergoing English translation and localization, it has arrived on western shores. But will it take off in a genre that has already seen some much-hyped games (Age of Conan and Warhammer Online) fail to live up to expectations? Will it make a dent in Blizzard's juggernaut, World of Warcraft's, subscriber base?
Set in the fantasy world of Atreia, Aion lets the player choose between one of two factions: the angelic Elyos and the feral Asmodians. A hollow planet with all of its inhabitants on the inside, Atreia was once split in two by an ancient cataclysm, the two halves separated from each other by an Abyss. The bottom half of the world, called Elysea, would benefit from a nearby star and flourish into a land filled with lush vegetation and verdant forests. The Elyos make their home there and have become a beautiful, if arrogant, people. The Asmodians live in the upper half of the world, Asmodae, a place far more inhospitable. Their world is cold and dark. Forced to adapt, the Asmodians grew claws and manes and their eyes glow red. Unaware of each others existence for centuries, the two factions now battle each other for power in the Abyss where a third NPC race, the powerful Balaur, made their home.
One of Aion's most defining features is the power of flight. Every character at level 10 gains a pair of wings. Jump off a cliff, press the Space Bar, and your character will glide to the ground. Full flight is only available in the Abyss and in other areas where there is a concentration of a substance called Aether. An indicator button on the user interface lets the player know when they are in one of these areas. You can also only stay in the air for limited amounts of time and the button will tell you how much flight time you have left. If you are far above ground when you run out, you will quickly find yourself resurrecting at your bind point. Certain skills and items can improve your ability to fly as you progress in the game, extending the amount of time you can spend in the air.
Limitations on flight mean that players will have to think strategically about how it is used. Surrounded by a swarm of angry kobolds? Take to the skies to make your escape or blast them with ranged attacks. Looking for a particular quest objective or NPC? Get a bird's eye view of the area. Flight can also add a new layer of strategy to PvP as well, as you will now be able to attack your opponents from above, or on the ground, and vice versa. At least one of the classes, the Spiritmaster, will gain the ability to ground an enemy during combat, making tangling with such players in the air a dicey proposition.
Conflict is at the heart of any MMORPG and in Aion that conflict is delivered through a system the developers at NCsoft call "PvPvE" or Player vs. Player vs. Environment. The two factions, Elyos and Asmodians, battle each other constantly for control of fortresses and artifacts within the Abyss, the game's main PvP area. However, the two sides won't be battling just each other. The Balaur are in the Abyss as well and their allegiances are fickle. They could choose to help you, help your opponent, or attack everyone indiscriminately.
Players who are victorious in securing fortresses and artifacts will earn special bonuses and resources for their factions. They can earn Abyss points and ranks that enable them to buy new armor and weapons that can't be obtained anywhere else in the game world. Supposedly, control over the Abyss will also affect item prices and open up instances that are otherwise inaccessible. For those wondering how the other half lives, there are infiltration quests that send you through rifts to the opposing continent. There your group will have to fend off both mobs and enemy players as you work to fulfill quest objectives.
To survive, players have to make good use of the combat system. Similar to other MMOs, your character trains in new skills, or upgrades existing skills, as it levels up. But where Aion deviates from the norm is with its ability to create chain combos. When you use the first ability or spell in a combo, one or two other abilities or spells open up and will appear in the middle of the screen next to the mob. Cast the 2nd and the 3rd will appear, etc. Which combos you choose will largely depend on what you are fighting and who you are fighting it with. Movement also plays a part in combat, as the direction you move in will give you bonuses towards your offensive and defensive stats. Similar to Age of Conan's combo system, the combat in Aion is a step above the usual hit-auto-attack-and-make-a-sandwich combat of other MMOs. It keeps you engaged and makes you think about what abilities you want to use during a given encounter.
The standard quests are the same you see in every MMO.

At my Madison dental office, we're all about creating beautiful smiles and keeping them healthy. An important part to overall oral health is a proper oral hygiene routine, and with that comes regular flossing. However, more than half of Americans don't floss regularly, and a whopping 20% don't floss at all. Why are so many people so against flossing? We dug up some research and found some of the main reasons people ditch the floss.
Flossing is incredibly important to a happy mouth and healthy body. If you're having difficulty, want to learn more about the benefits of flossing, or especially if you are experiencing pain, give my dental office in Madison a call. We'll be more than happy to work with you to find a great, personal flossing solution.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Rock Not Dropping Out Of Oscars, Rewriting Monologue to Address #OscarsSoWhite Outrage
By Emily Krauser 3:26 PM PST, January 23, 2016
Outrage over the lack of diversity among nominees at the Oscars will not keep Chris Rock from his hosting duties, the show's producer told ET exclusively.
ET's Nischelle Turner sat down with Academy Awards producer Reginald Hudlin at the 47th NAACP Image Awards Nominee Luncheon on Saturday, where he confirmed that Rock will not be dropping out of the show.
WATCH: George Clooney Weighs In On #OscarsSoWhite Outrage
Hudlin also revealed that though the 50-year-old comedian finished writing his monologue a week ago, once the #OscarsSoWhite outrage came to a head with Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith's pledge to boycott, Rock scrapped his jokes and started working on a new script.
"Chris is hard at work. He and his writing staff locked themselves in a room," Hudlin told ET. "As things got a little provocative and exciting, he said, 'I'm throwing out the show I wrote and writing a new show.'"
"Chris is that thorough," Hudlin added. "He's that brilliant, and I have 1000 percent confidence that he will deliver something that people will be talking about for weeks."
According to Hudlin, Rock isn't steering away from the issue of a white-washed group of nominees, but rather diving right into the fire.
NEWS: Academy Announces 'Historic' Changes to Increase Diversity
"You should expect [#OscarsSoWhite jokes]," Hudlin told ET. "And, yes, the Academy is ready for him to do that. They're excited about him doing that. They know that's what we need. They know that's what the public wants, and we deliver what the people want."
The Academy Awards ceremony won't take place until Feb. 28, but Rock has already addressed the controversy, tweeting an ad for the Oscars and writing, "The #Oscars. The White BET Awards."
The #Oscars. The White BET Awards.https://t.co/8qjLR0uysI
— Chris Rock (@chrisrock) January 15, 2016
This will be Rock's second time hosting the Oscars. His first emcee gig came in 2005.
EXCLUSIVE: Viola Davis on Oscars Boycott: The Problem is With Movie-Making
Earlier this week, ET spoke to Viola Davis, who said the real problem wasn't with the Oscars but rather the films that are being produced, as the majority do not predominately feature actors of color. The How to Get Away With Murder star said that though Tyrese had suggested Rock drop the gig, it was up to Rock to decide for himself.
"Like I said, the Oscars are not really the issue," she said. "It's a symptom of a much greater disease. But if he does [host], I hope he takes it as an opportunity to make a statement, a social statement about change. It's 2016."
WATCH: Oscars Nominate All White Actors for a Second Year in a Row
The Pinkett-Smiths have been two of the loudest dissenters against this year's predominately white nominations -- the second year in a row that the discrepancy has occurred -- but they're far from the only actors to speak out. In addition to Davis and Tyrese, George Clooney, Whoopi Goldberg, Tessa Thompson, Lupita Nyong'o and Stacey Dash are among the many who've weighed in on both the nominations and possible boycotts.
The 88th Annual Academy Awards will air Feb. 28 at 8:30 ET/5:30 PT on ABC.

"The Ministry of Defence believes the financial aid will in a way help the armed forces and the MAF veterans to make preparations before 1st Syawal.
"On behalf of the MINDEF staffs and MAF, I record my highest appreciation and thanked the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and the Cabinet to include the armed forces and the MAF veterans in giving the Special Aidilfitri Financial Aids and all other assistances before this," Hishammuddin said in a statement here Wednesday.
Hishammuddin added, this is not only a reflection of the government's concerns on the welfare of the MAF family but also highlights the undivided appreciation towards the sacrifices of the armed forces and the MAF veterans towards the country. –Malaysia World News


Vascular System and Innervation of the Lungs - want to learn more about it?
The lungs make up the terminal portion of the respiratory apparatus and the largest portion of respiratory tissue. They are a pair of organs situated within the thoracic cavity and they are supplied with inhaled air that comes from the upper segments of the tract including the nasal cavity, the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea, the bronchi and the bronchioles. Their main function is breathing so that oxygen and carbon dioxide can be exchanged, with oxygen being inhaled and sent to the tissues and carbon dioxide being released via exhalation.
This article will focus upon the blood supply, venous drainage, innervation and lymphatic drainage of the pulmonary tissues.
A pulmonary artery is assigned to each lung and it functions by carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lung.
At the level of the sternal angle, the pulmonary trunk divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries, which carry deoxygenated-low oxygen blood from the right ventricle of the heart.
Each pulmonary artery forms part of the root of their respective lungs, and divides into secondary lobar arteries. Lobar arteries then divide into tertiary segmental arteries. The arteries follow the branching pattern of the bronchi, most often travel anterior to their bronchial counterpart.
Two pulmonary veins (a superior and inferior one) arise from each lung, carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
The pulmonary veins generally run independent of the pulmonary arteries and bronchi.
The bronchial arteries originate from the thoracic aorta and carry oxygenated blood to the supporting tissues of the lungs, and visceral pleura.
The thoracic aorta gives rise to two left bronchial arteries, while the single right bronchial artery stems from either one of the superior posterior intercostal arteries or the left superior bronchial artery.
The bronchial arteries generally travel along the posterior aspect of the main bronchi and their branches, as far as the respiratory bronchioles. Their branches anastomose with the branches of the pulmonary arteries, forming an arterial network throughout the lung tissue.
The parietal pleura receives it blood supply via the arteries of the posterior thoracic wall.
The bronchial veins drain primarily the proximal portions of each lung, which are supplied directly the bronchial arteries.
The pulmonary veins govern the venous drainage of the rest of the lungs, which includes the visceral pleura, peripheral lung tissue and distal parts of the bronchial root.
The right and left bronchial veins empty into into the azygos and hemiazygos veins, respectively.
The innervation of the lungs occurs via the pulmonary plexuses which runs both anteriorly and posteriorly along the lung roots. The nervous structures within the plexuses contain postganglionic sympathetic fibers that originate from the sympathetic trunks which happen to innervate the bronchial tree, the pulmonary vessels and the glands of the bronchial tree.
The characteristics of the sympathetic fibers include bronchodilation, vasoconstriction and inhibition of glandular secretion.
Other fibers that run in the pulmonary plexuses include the preganglionic fibers which are contributed by the vagus nerve (CN X) as well as small parasympathetic ganglia and postganglionic parasympathetic nerves which innervate the smooth muscle of the bronchial tree, the pulmonary vessels and the bronchial glands. The characteristics of parasympathetic fibers include bronchoconstriction, vasodilation and glandular secretomotor stimulation.
Finally, the visceral afferent fibers present function by transmitting information that is needed in the coughing reflex, stretch reception, blood pressure, chemoreception and nociception.
The lungs have a large complex of freely connecting lymphatic vessels. The lymph formed within the lungs drains into the pulmonary lymph nodes which are found along the lobar bronchi. Also, the bronchopulmonary lymph nodes which sit on the left and right major bronchi. Finally the superior and inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes which conjugate around the superior and inferior aspects of the bifurcation of the trachea.
Coughing is a natural reflex that plays a very important role in the maintenance of healthy lung tissue. The ability to cough allows the body to remove dust, mucus, saliva and other debris from the lungs. If a patient is unable to cough, the likelihood of contracting an infection or an inflammation greatly increases. Another way to keep lung matter healthy and free from particulates is to breathe deeply in a rhythmic manner and there are various techniques and exercises that help on to do so.

This blog features stories about the Wheaton College Graduate School. This story recaps the different testimonies we heard during November 12-17, International Education Week 2018! We spent some time getting to know our students from around the world, one continent a day.
International Education Week, an initiative encouraged by the U.S. Departments of State and of Education, is a week set aside to encourage the celebration of global and international learning. We spent last week featuring stories about our students from around the world, one continent a day. While many international students come to learn on campus, some take part in our Flexible Learning Programs, which allow them to remain in their ministry and vocational context while working toward their degree. We enjoyed getting to know Tarcisio, Tsegaab, Gillian, Michal, Spencer, Neli, Taulu, and Bibiana a little bit better, and hope you will too! Through the enrichment brought about by cross-cultural exchange, we pray that Wheaton, in both its local and global contexts, will continue to grow to reflect a fuller vision of Christ's kingdom on earth.
"I have a BTh honors degree in Systematic Theology from the University of South Africa. Before I came to Wheaton College, I was the Academic Dean of the Evangelical Theological College of Zimbabwe and working with children's ministry with the Evangelical church. I have a passion for the development of theological education within the African context. The M.A. in theology is helping me to develop those skills needed to meet those needs for Christ's kingdom."
"My name is Tsegaab Tadesse Tantu from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I have been actively involved in my local church leadership back home, and through the Evangelism and Leadership M.A., I will become a resource to my church and organizations for the training of missionaries and church leaders. I also hope to start radio and television programs to address the broader public with preaching, and hope to lead a mission school in a theological college in Ethiopia."
"Before coming to Wheaton College Graduate School, I was working in an arts center in China where foreign musicians taught local children music. My main job was to help with the communication between locals and foreign teachers. Through navigating between multiple cultures and working with children, I realized my passion for children and love for intercultural communication. The M.A in TESOL and Intercultural Studies is equipping me to achieve my goals and is helping me to connect my passion, my calling, and my vocation into one vision. It is preparing me with the skills I will need in the future to better serve children and others in a cross-cultural context."
Michal Kocum, Czech Republic, M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
"The knowledge and expertise taught at Wheaton is invaluable and greatly needed in my country. The field of counseling itself is in its infancy there, and very few practitioners are currently trained and skilled in practices grounded in Christian thought and worldview as well as scientific support. The training I am receiving here will allow me to serve to the best of my ability as a counselor and educator in my community, professional or otherwise."
"My Wheaton education has given me the tools to better understand the Bible. These texts are not always as straightforward as we want or expect. We often forget that these are ancient documents and were written by people whose language and culture was very different from our own. Thanks to this program I will be better equipped to highlight some of these differences and help Christians to think more deeply about their own faith. Wheaton will help global Christians to be both intellectually robust and faithful servants of Christ."
"I have a Bachelors Degree in Theology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Theology from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. I am now pursuing a Masters Degree in Evangelism and Leadership Wheaton College Graduate School.
After being a pastor in New Zealand, Singapore and Australia for the last 18 years, the learning that I have gained in the pursuance of this Masters degree has been such an answer to prayer.
As the pastor of Every Nation Brisbane, I knew that my experiences in Asia and the South Pacific would be valuable, but it would require even deeper understanding in order to more effectively reach and raise more Australians in the Kingdom of God. The specificity of those two areas of Leadership and Evangelism fit the areas of urgent need within our church culture and in the culture of our great city of Brisbane. I'll ever be thankful for this opportunity to learn from the best, and to be equipped to better reach, raise and release Australians into the establishment of God's Kingdom into the nations."
"Ever since starting this program, there has been growth in both my leadership and my approach to evangelism. The skills, insight and learning have definitely helped teach me new ways in leading, and most importantly, gave me confidence in my style of pastoring the amazing congregation and local community God has placed me in. Thank you, Wheaton, for equipping me to do what I love: advancing God's Kingdom and making Jesus famous!"
"I lived as a medical missionary in Haiti for 15 years. Starting there and expanding to more countries in South America and the Caribbean, we implemented Community Health Evangelism programs (CHE) for the past 25 years. After the Haiti earthquake and the Cholera epidemic in 2010, a fire in a slum in Dominican Republic in 2012, floods and increasing disasters in my region, I was exposed to ministry in crisis situations. I am excited for the opportunity to learn about disaster response and preparedness to strengthen those I work with."

Q: How to pass run time arguments to a function in c through a shell script I have a shell script which has to take arguments from the command line and pass it to a function in C. I tried to search but didn't find understandable solutions. Kindly help me out.
Should the arguments be passed via an option as a command in the shell script?
I have a main function like this:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if(argc>1)
    {
        if(!strcmp(argv[1], "ABC"))
        {

        }
        else if(!strcmp(argv[1], "XYZ"))
        {

        }
    }
}

How to pass the parameters ABC/XYZ from the command line through a shell script which in turn uses a makefile to compile the code?

A: You cannot meaningfully compare strings with ==  which is a pointer equality test. You could use strcmp as something like argc>1 && !strcmp(argv[1], "XYZ"). The arguments of main have certain properties, see here.
BTW, main's argc is at least 1. So your test argc==0 is never true. Generally argv[0] is the program name.
However, if you use GNU glibc (e.g. on Linux), it provides several ways for parsing program arguments.
There are conventions and habits regarding program arguments, and you'll better follow them. POSIX specifies getopt(3), but on GNU systems, getopt_long is even more handy.
Be also aware that globbing is done by the shell on Unix-like systems. See glob(7).
(On Windows, things are different, and the command line might be parsed by some startup routine à la crt0)
In practice, you'll better use some system functions for parsing program arguments. Some libraries provide a way for that, e.g. GTK has gtk_init_with_args. Otherwise, if you have it, use getopt_long ...
Look also, for inspiration, into the source code of some free software program. You'll find many of them on github or elsewhere.

How to pass the parameters ABC/XYZ from the command line through a shell script

If you compile your C++ program into an executable, e.g. /some/path/to/yourexecutable, you just have to run a command like
 /some/path/to/yourexecutable ABC

and if the directory /some/path/to/ containing yourexecutable is in your PATH variable, you can simply run yourexecutable ABC. How to set that PATH variable (which you can query using echo $PATH in your Unix shell) is a different question (you could edit some shell startup file, perhaps your $HOME/.bashrc, with a source code editor such as GNU emacs, vim, gedit, etc...; you could run some export PATH=.... command with an appropriate, colon-separated, sequence of directories).

which in turn uses a makefile to compile the code?

Then you should look into that Makefile and you'll know what is the executable file.

You are using and coding on/for Linux, so you should read something about Linux programming (e.g. ALP or something newer; see also intro(2) & syscalls(2)...) and you need to understand more about operating systems (so read Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces).

A: See following simple example:
$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < argc; ++i) {
        printf("[%d] %s\n", i, argv[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}
$ gcc foo.c
$ ./a.out foo bar
[0] ./a.out
[1] foo
[2] bar
$
