Ben is the Founder and CEO of Privy, an Ecommerce company that supports 200,000+ marketers in over 180 countries.
Ben was a junior at Newton South High School when he became interested in what was a new scientific field at the time called nanotechnology. After researching the companies in Boston area, we connected him to the CEO of Nantero, which at that time was a new startup in greater Boston. At Nantero, Ben was trained to work on wafer-scale electron beam lithography, using a scanning electron microscope to define high-resolution features on test chips. The Chief Scientific officer wrote a stellar recommendation for college and Ben was accepted to Cornell where there was ongoing research in nanotechnology.
Ben's high school internship in a STEM field jump-started his career. Following that, each successive internship led to the next one. Hired immediately from his last college internship, he began his career journey in technology.
"My internships provided a first hand experience of several, very different career paths. Summer long exposure in each different environment was all it took for me to change or validate my true passions. "

Michael, High School internship – Medicine
Featured Success Stories, Success Stories, Law
Discovering a true career interest often takes a circuitous path. Michael is currently a Tech/VC attorney representing emerging companies and venture capital investors at Morse Barnes-Brown & Pendleton. However, in high school, Michael thought he would be interested in medicine, so we matched him to a medical internship where he had the opportunity to work in a hospital and observe 2 surgical procedures. To Michael's surprise, he realized the hospital environment was not for him.
Michael wrote, "Through this experience, I realized that working in a hospital environment, while fascinating, wasn't for me. Because it gave me such early exposure, I was able to eliminate it as a career interest before investing time and money in a college major as well as medical school." Following this experience, Michael's college internships took an interesting turn.

Now in her twenties, Lauren is an Interior Designer at Gensler, NYC. Her career path began with a high school fashion internship that we established for her in New York City.

We established an internship at Style-Caster, a NYC on-line fashion company with an energetic young staff. In her Internship Connection journal, Lauren wrote:
"What I love about the company is that my responsibilities vary day to day. I have catalogued merchandise, worked on the set of photo shoots and organized marketing events. My favorite thing was assisting guest stylists."
Lauren's Career Path: Scarsdale High School, Saturday Program at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Style-Caster, University of Wisconsin-Madison (Interior Design Major).
Lauren's mentor wrote a wonderful recommendation and said that Lauren, even as a high school student, was actually helping the college interns.
"Lauren exceeded all expectations with each assigned project. Her poise made her seem mature beyond her years and her responsibilities quickly expanded. She will undoubtedly be very successful in any direction she chooses."
It's gratifying to see that Lauren's responsibilities on her fashion internship served as an introduction to her college major and future career in design.

Gavin Newsom: I'm bringing single payer to everyone in California, regardless of immigration status
John Sexton Aug 28, 2018 7:21 PM ET
Gavin Newsom is currently running for Governor in California and, barring something dramatic, he is going to win. So when he says he plans to bring single payer to California as Governor, there's a very good chance he'll get his shot. Today, Newsom appeared on the Pod Save America podcast where he was asked about his health care plans. Newsom made clear he wants a single paper system that is for everyone in the state regardless of immigration status.
"I'd like to see if we can control our own destiny," Newsom said. He continued, "I'm not naive about it. I did universal health care when I was Mayor [of San Francisco], fully implemented regardless of pre-existing conditions, ability to pay, and regardless of your immigration status.
"San Francisco is the only universal health care system for all undocumented residents in Amerca, very proud of that. We proved it could be done without bankrupting the city. I'd like to see that we can extend that to the rest of the state."
Asked specifically about financing, Newsom said other developed countries spent less overall on healthcare. "It's the transition that's the challenge," he said, adding, "It's going from something old to something new, where the whitewater is."
That will indeed be a challenge. Last year an estimate of the cost of implementing single payer in California concluded it would cost $400 billion per year, or more than double the state's current annual budget. The cost was so high that, despite the insistence of the left and the nurse's union, a Democrat in the California Assembly shelved the proposal.
What's really interesting about this is that earlier in this same interview, Newsom talks about homelessness in California's major cities including San Francisco when he was mayor. "Here's the problem though, it's not a static number," Newsom says. He continues, "We started with about 7,000 people on the street; we got 12,000 people off the street…there were still close to 7,000 people on the street. We did a survey, our annual surveys. One surveyed showed that over 90% of the people on the streets weren't from San Francisco.
"So as soon as you house 2 or 3 people this dynamic population continues to challenge mayors of cities large and small."
All of that is true and makes sense. But what does Newsom think is going to happen when he announces single payer health care regardless of immigration status? That's going to be a huge magnet for illegal immigration from across the border but also from illegal immigrants currently spread out around the country. How is California going to pay for all of that?
Speaking of a challenge, one thing the fight over single payer last year did was convince opponents that they needed to team up to block future proposals. The Sacramento Bee reported today:
A group of influential, deep-pocketed business and health care organizations that have long helped shape the legislative agenda in California have joined forces to oppose any future effort to craft a universal, single-payer health care system for the nation's largest state.
The main focus of the coalition, called "Californians against the costly disruption of our health care," is to kill any single-payer health care bill in the state Legislature, said Ned Wigglesworth, a political strategist for the coalition.
"As long as proponents plan to bring this back time and again, we think it's important to have a strong, unified presence to oppose it," Wigglesworth said, referring to Senate Bill 562, the 2017 single-payer bill pushed by the California Nurses Association that was shelved last year by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon.
Newsom is a talker but some of these problems he's wading into are not going to be solved through a wonky lecture. We'll see how far this plan actually gets when people see the costs associated with it are going to be. Here's the interview with Newsom cued up to the discussion of single payer:

Holmes was a superlative salesperson who augmented her vision of patient empowerment with personal anecdotes about her own pathological fear of needles and an uncle whose death from cancer could have been avoided had he had access to early diagnosis. These were stories that people wanted to believe. Theranos' combination of altruistic philosophy and money-making potential inspired mentors and excited investors. Furthermore, Holmes was a rare example of a woman making a mark in the male-dominated biotech industry at a time when people were searching for ways to promote STEAM subjects to young girls. Theranos gained additional credibility by the presence on its board of such such financial and political heavyweights as Rupert Murdoch, General Mattis, Henry Kissenger, and Charles Schultz.
Although questions about Theranos had been circulating for some time, all present and former employees were bound by rigorously enforced non-disclosure agreements that dissuaded whistleblowing. It was not until October 2015, when the Wall Street Journal published an article by journalist John Carreyrou alleging serious problems with the company's tests, that regulators took notice.
The response, when it came, was swift and severe. Within a year Holmes had been banned from any involvement in blood testing services. She now faces both civil and criminal charges for "[using] advertisements and solicitations to encourage and induce doctors and patients to use Theranos's blood testing laboratory services, even though [she] knew Theranos was not capable of consistently producing accurate and reliable results". It's a fall from grace of Icarian proportions for the woman named by Forbes in 2014 as the world's youngest self-made female billionaire.
Many of the company's problems were a result of Holmes (mis)management. Intensely protective of her intellectual property, she kept an extraordinarily tight rein on all aspects of the company. She closely monitored internal communications and forbade interactions between the engineering and biochemistry teams. This severely hampered their ability to identify and deal with technological challenges, such as scaling down standard technology to work on the microfluidic scale. The situation was further complicated by the fact that Holmes refused to consider using larger blood volumes under any circumstances, and immediately fired anybody who questioned her vision or approach.
Not all the blame for Theranos' failure can be laid at Holmes' feet, however. The methods she used to sell her company were not unusual in themselves, althought they were extreme in their extent. When Theranos burned through the first tranches of funding without a working prototype, Holmes started offering a broader range of tests, presenting deals still under negotiation as confirmed, and promising increasingly optimistic future profits in an attempt to recapitalise. Similarly, her decision to offer her company's services to the public despite their unreliability came after arrangements with a major health provider was cancelled due to ongoing delays.
Such problems are not unusual in the biotech industry. Biotechnology entrepeneurs can easily find themselves in too deep, perhaps tempted to spin the truth to buy time to make things work. This is not to excuse Holmes' actions, but the problems with Theranos are symptomatic of much more widespread problems in a biotechnology market where the ability to capture the imagination of investors and consumers is at least as important as a product's feasibility – if not more so.
John Carreyrou, whose Wall Street Journal article alerted the world to the problems at Theranos, has just published Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup ,a comprehensive description of the company's troubled inner workings and analysis of the cultural and legislative environment that enabled Holmes fraud to succeed for so long. I can thoroughly recommend it to anybody interested in understanding more about these issues. There is one thing, however, that I have yet to see fully addressed, and that is the role of Holmes' gender in her spectacular rise and fall.
While Carreyrou discusses the way in which Holmes' status as a female role model in the boys-own tech club was a major selling point, he has little to say about the extent to which the pressure of expectation might have contributed to her desire to succeed at any cost. But when he describes Holmes as a sociopath who knowingly put consumers at risk of real, physical harm, I can't help looking at somebody like Elon Musk (who remains an acceptable 'bad boy' despite his company's product actually killing people) and wonder whether she would have been so vilified if she were a man.

La Congregación de Eremitas Camaldulenses de Monte Corona (en latín: Congregatio eremitarum camaldulensium Montis Coronae) es una Orden religiosa católica monacal de derecho pontificio, fundada por Pablo Justiniani el 7 de mayo de 1529, separando el monasterio de Monte Corona, de la Orden Camaldulense. A los monjes de este instituto se les conoce como Eremitas Camaldulentes de Monte Corona o simplemente como Eremitas de Monte Corona, y posponen a sus nombres las siglas E.C.M.C.

Historia

En 1520, el monje camaldulense Pablo Justiniani, deseoso de vivir una vida con mayor austeridad y con el fin de regresar a las prácticas antiguas eremitas para las que había nacido la Orden Camaldulense, inició una reforma de vida con la fundación de la ermita de Monte Corona, cerca de Perugia (Italia). Para la fecha, las pretensiones de Justiniani no eran separarse de la orden, sino retornar al espíritu fundacional, pero con la aprobación del papa León X para la fundación de nuevos monasterios, según el estilo de Monte Corona, se dio vida a la Compañía de los Eremitas de San Romualdo (más tarde cambiaron el nombre por Eremitas Camaldulenses de Monte Corona, independizándose de la Camáldula el 7 de mayo de 1529.

La orden conoció un periodo de expansión a mediados del siglo XVII, llegando a tener 30 yermos presentes en Italia, Polonia, Austria, Hungría, Eslovaquia y Lituania.

Organización
Los eremitas de Monte Corona se dedican a la vida contemplativa, integrando elementos del cenobitismo con algunos elementos eremíticos. Cada eremita vive en soledad en su propia ermita, con su capilla y su baño, totalmente separadas cada una. Sale de ella solo para vivir alguno momentos de comunidad, como la oración, el trabajo y la recreación. A los monasterios se les llama yermos y se asemejan a pequeñas ciudades.

Al superior general se llama Abad o Padre mayor y su residencia es el Sacro Eremo Tusculano de Monte Porzio Catone. Actualmente el abad mayor es el monje colombiano Emir José Castillo Zárate.

En la actualidad la Congregación cuenta con 66 monjes, de los cuales 33 son sacerdotes, y unos 9 yermos, presentes en Colombia, España, Estados Unidos, Italia, Polonia y Venezuela.

Scheldepils is een Belgisch-Nederlands bier. Het wordt gebrouwen door Brouwerij Huyghe te Melle in opdracht van de Scheldebrouwerij uit Meer.

Achtergrond
De naam van het bier verwijst naar de Scheldebrouwerij.
Op het etiket staan twee wildemannen. Dit is een verwijzing naar Bergen op Zoom, dat twee wildemannen in haar wapenschild voert en waar de oprichters van de Scheldebrouwerij banden mee hadden. De wildemannen rusten bij een bierton aan de oevers van de Schelde.

Aanvankelijk was de Scheldebrouwerij gevestigd in Nederland. In 2007 vestigde ze zich in België, vandaar de benaming "Belgisch-Nederlands bier".

Het bier
Scheldepils is een blonde pils met een alcoholpercentage van 5%. Het bier wordt gebrouwen sinds 2002.

US Ad Sales website
See the live site
MailOnline is the world's biggest English language newspaper website. In August 2014 it had over 180 million global unique monthly visitors with 60 million visitors from the United States.
This website serves as a platform through which the DailyMail US team can communicate announcements, their latest stats and present advertising solutions to potential clients.
I worked with the Trade Marketing team to come up with the best way of presenting their data and making information as accessible as possible while empowering them to maintain the website and keep it up to date.
Discovery phase
We knew this should be a one-pager from the get go, where data would be broken down into easily digestible chunks.
The trade marketing team had a pretty good idea of what kind of information they would like to showcase and even some creative ideas of how they would like to present them.
We had a few conference calls where we discussed those ideas and how we could bring them to life. We also sorted the data in order of importance so that we could make informed decisions and position things on the page. After nailing all of that down, we moved on to the wireframing phase.
We knew what sections the website would have and a rough idea of how they would be stacked. This was the stage where we had to decide what type of content each section would hold. Amounts of images, length of copy, and essentially the entire structure of the site onto which we could build all the functionality that would make it usable.
We went back and forth with a few wireframes until we were all happy with the main structure before moving on to hi-fidelity sketches, mock ups and UI elements.
The visual design takes follows MailOnline's branding guidelines and sticks to a certain colour pallette. The idea is taht the content should make the design, so the UI tries to get out of the way and simply present the content.
That's not to say it doesn't introduce delight by means of smooth transitions and animations throughout the journey. I particularly like how we resolved the navigation elements into a burger icon on smaller devices, transitioning the options in a staggered manner when the user clicks to open it.
This is one of my favourite pieces in the UI work I did for this site. You will only see it on mobile breakpoints.
The contact form is quite cool as well: when you try to submit without filling in a required field it indicates that by shaking the fields. Submitting is pretty delightful as well with a nice reassuring confirmation that your message was successfully sent – without nasty page reloads, too.
The header
The header is a chapter in itself. The original concept came from the US team themselves. They wanted a header that would really catch your eye and showcase what DailyMail.com is all about: celebrities, strong headlines and incredible numbers.
I suggested we created a composition with lots of celebrity images, a few stats and headlines from our site and kept shuffling through them every few seconds.
Performance was a big concern to me, so I made sure to optimise images as much as possible while ensuring no unnecessary elements are rendered. I also leveraged CSS transitions rather than JavaScript for the animation effects due to their improved performance in this case.
I used the isotope plugin to order the tiles, CSS to create the background animations and JavaScript for the subtle parallax effect you see when scrolling down the header.
All animations stop once you hit the header threshold, this ensures the site runs as smoothly as possible and performance doesn't take an unnecessary hit.
I knew the site should be built on a CMS that allowed it to be maintained by the marketing team themselves without them having to deal with any code or go through any technical hurdles.
I decided WordPress would be the way to go due to its user friendliness and wide array of plugins that would make the site a breeze to update to people without previous experience in managing a website.
I built a custom theme while using a few plugins to facilitate content management that allowed for a truly visual interface for each of the custom fields the team would have to update in the future.
In practical terms this means, for example, that image galleries behave as real image galleries where images can be added or removed through a visual interface, unlike most themes that require the user to input a URL to the image they want to display.
Post launch
The site has been a success and is proving to be a valuable tool for the American team. So much so that the Australian team have recently shown interest in having their own version of the site with a few minor tweaks to make it more in line with their market.

Divest from the Israeli Occupation - How is Divest from the Israeli Occupation abbreviated?
Nonetheless, the company has gained an ill-famed reputation not only due to the human rights abuses in which it is involved but also for repeatedly contradicting its promises to divest from the Israeli occupation.
On Sunday, former South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu published an op-ed in the Charlotte Observer calling on TIAA-CREF to divest from the Israeli occupation, just as companies divested from apartheid South Africa.
