In order to achieve dreams, work has to be put in. Amelia DeVane has been putting in work for some time, as she is focusing on her modeling career. However, Amelia DeVane is also a full-time student at North Carolina A&T, so modeling comes second to her school work. When she is not at school, DeVane is networking and doing photo shoots.
Amelia DeVane is currently a freshman in college, at A&T, she loves having fun, shopping, and especially loves being in front of the camera. Those interests led to her pursing a career in modeling. DeVane is currently modeling for Double X and hopes to soon have more photo shoots lined up. As an eighteen-year-old, Amelia DeVane finds herself juggling several projects.
Recently, Amelia DeVane received rave reviews from a recent photo shoot, so she has more shoots lined up, as the summer approaches. Amelia DeVane opened up about her hard work, along with going to school, and maintaining a social life with Hip Hop Vibe. In the future, Amelia DeVane sees herself on the cover of popular magazines and becoming a household name.
Read the entire interview below:
Is your real name Amelia DeVane? Yes, it is.
How long have you been modeling? I am new to the game, I started modeling a little over a week ago. However, I have always wanted to model because I am a natural.
What models did you look up to growing up? Definitely, Tyra Banks and the Victoria Secret models. I also look up to Kim Kardashian, because she takes great pictures.
So, you admire Tyra Banks and Kim Kardashian, do you see yourself starring in TV shows like they do? Definitely. I would love to have the chance to be on television. I would love to have the chance to have my own show if it ever became possible.
Would you be open to doing music videos if the opportunity presented itself? Yes, I would.
You have already expressed interest in reality television, but would you be interested in doing acting? I have always loved watching movies, but I do not believe I would be the best actress. I could become an actress if I put in the work, I would take the chance if the opportunity presented itself.
You are a freshman at NC A&T, correct? Yes, that's right.
What are you majoring in? Right now, I am majoring in Biology, and I will be changing my major to Mass Communications & Broadcasting this fall.
Will you soon be modeling at events in the Greensboro area? As of right now, I am not sure, but hopefully Double X will soon have some events planned for me.
What do you think would be your favorite type of photo shoot? My imagination is so broad. I don't want to sound cliche and say on the beach, but I would love to have it on the beach, but very fashion-oriented. There would be pop-out eye shadow and the water effect, with me as the "beach babe." I would love to shoot that type of scene.

Why first-party data collection should be a priority for marketers
"No matter what your business objectives are, you need to understand your audience and leverage that data to fulfill your objectives," said Pete Wootton, Chief Product & Data Officer for U.K. and U.S.-based Dennis Publishing, at our MarTech conference.
To meet their business objectives, many marketers have found that first-party customer data collection intersects uniquely with their brand offerings as each informs the other. But in today's world, brands are relying more on customer data collection and activation to achieve their goals.
"They've always been linked, but there is definitely more of a focus on the collection of first-party data and the use of that data," said Wootton.

Without a first-party data collection process in place, marketers will find it difficult to build relationships with their customers and meet their objectives.
The challenges and benefits of first-party data collection
"No matter what part of the business we look at, data is central to it," Wootton said.
Collecting consented first-party data gives brands those extra insights needed to better understand their audience and map out their buying journeys. And, fortunately, there are plenty of tools available to assist in the process.
"You need to make sure you have good insights into your audience," Wootton said. "You need to leverage that data in order to maximize the opportunity. Understanding how they behave and what they're interested in helps you sell products to them."
Collecting data with a customer data platform
"If you need good quality data, you need to have a single customer view," said Wootton. "Pull in all your different data sources to make sure you know who your audiences are and what they're doing, then link that to offline data."

Wootton said Dennis Publishing could complete some of these collection tasks with a data lake, but it was missing the single customer view that could turn the information into actionable pieces. So, it opted to use a CDP to help meet its organizational goals.
"As our knowledge increased, and as we saw the possibilities, we realized we needed to talk to suppliers," he said. "We had a consultant working with us and did an exploration process — we saw the opportunity in certain areas that we didn't when we began."

The people and processes in data collection
A team isn't complete without its players, and data collection isn't complete without the people running it. In the same presentation, Jackie Rousseau-Anderson of Blueconic asked what Wootton's organization would have done differently in revamping its data collection processes. In response, he highlighted the need for talented practitioners' involvement in the whole process.
"I would have brought in some of that talent a bit earlier," he said. "For example, we invested in some 'superusers' — people who are living and breathing it. We did that toward the end of the implementation, and I think in retrospect I would have brought them in much earlier."
Hiring talented professionals from the get-go can help your data collection stay on track. But more than that, it can provide insights to continually improve your brand's implementation efforts.

"They [the talent] would have helped shape some of our thinking and been a good foil for some of the ideas that we had about how it's going to work in the real world," Wootton said.
He added, "Get that resource in earlier instead of thinking it's only a part of the delivery phase — I think they would be useful in the implementation phase."

As consumers sign up for more a la carte streaming apps and other on-demand TV services, they're slightly less tolerant, on average, when it comes to watching ads, according to a new study by GroupM, the media investment arm of WPP. The research was conducted in December by GroupM's Audience Origin (formerly LivePanel) and included 1,000 U.S. consumers.
Respondents to the survey were asked, "If it meant a lower monthly bill for your streaming services, how likely would you accept having to watch commercials?" In the previous survey, 76% agreed. This time, 73% agreed.
The GroupM study also concluded that access to ad-free and ad-light subscription services remained high, consistent with the figures they observed through public filings by streaming service operators.
Why we care. If the number of TV watchers who would tolerate ads for a discount on their services hovers around three quarters, that's still sizable, and the reason why a company like WarnerMedia introduced an ad-supported version of their HBO Max app last spring.

WarnerMedia announced that combined HBO and HBO Max subscribers were at 73.8 million subscribers, but declined to provide a breakdown of how many chose the ad-supported tier of HBO Max, which is priced at $10, as opposed to $15 for no ads.
In an online press appearance, WarnerMedia's President of Advertising Sales JP Colaco declined to provide the specific breakdown, but said that viewers did "sign up in droves" for the ad-supported tier.
As the streaming landscape continued to mature, ad-supported video, or AVOD, will remain a significant segment.

Just got my White Razr last Thursday and I love it! I'm 33 and live in TX. My first exposure to Android was the OG. I was so blown away by the endless possibilities. I like many of you, rooted it, and flashed roms galore. My very first was a rom called JRummy's Cyanogen mod remix. Any memories? I used Bugless Beast, Sapphire, Chevy, Shadow Rom, Liquid, Miui, CM, Ultimate Droid and Project Elite. I think that's all of them. I'm so glad to be a part of this community and I can't wait to see what awaits us Razr users. Hopefully a fully working stock ICS rom in the near future.
Hi everyone. I'm a DroidXer that took the plunge today and purchased the Droid Razr. I researched the Razr, Rezound and Galaxy Nexus for two weeks. Lots of hands on time and many hours of reviews, forums and anything else I could read. Finally decided to stick with Moto mainly for it's stronger radio and solid build. I'll keep my X as my insurance policy in case I do something really stupid with the Razr. So far I like it very much. I'll probably wait a little while to get aquainted with it before I root, rom, etc.
Welcome to the site melfunn.

Q: How to avoid an explicit loop when pulling out a vector of a particular member from a vector of a class containing that member Suppose I have a class
struct Foo {double x; double y;}

and std::vector<Foo> xy;
I also have a function to pull out the x members:
std::vector<double> bar(const std::vector<Foo>& xy);

which loops through each element of xy.
Is there a way of using the C++ standard library so I can avoid an explicit for loop?

A: You can use std::transform. E.g.
std::vector<double> bar(const std::vector<Foo>& xy) {
    std::vector<double> rt;
    rt.reserve(xy.size());
    std::transform(std::begin(xy),
                   std::end(xy),
                   std::back_inserter(rt),
                   [](const Foo& f) { return f.x; });
    return rt;
}

For comparison here's the version using range-based for loop. As @463035818_is_not_a_number commented it needs less typing.
std::vector<double> foo(const std::vector<Foo>& xy) {
    std::vector<double> rt;
    rt.reserve(xy.size());
    for (auto const & f : xy) rt.push_back(f.x);
    return rt;
}

A: Using C++20's ranges offers a somewhat briefer alternative to std::transform:
std::vector<double> filtered;
filtered.reserve(xy.size());
std::ranges::copy(
  std::ranges::views::transform(xy, &Foo::x),
  std::back_inserter(filtered));

Or, as pointed out by @StoryTeller, as an alternative and even briefer approach to the init-empty-and-back-insert, use a view to directly intitialize the filtered vector (an approach that would allow it to be const):
auto view = xy | std::ranges::views::transform(&Foo::x);
std::vector<double> const filtered(view.begin(), view.end());

A: Well, behind the scenes there obviously has to be a loop somewhere. So it seems to me that the STL included for_each for this exact type of problem.
We can write the Bar function like so:
#include <algorithm>

auto Bar (const std::vector<Foo> & xy)
{
    std::vector<double> bar;
    bar.reserve(xy.size());
    auto extract_x = [&](const Foo & f){bar.push_back(f.x);};
    std::for_each(xy.begin(), xy.end(), extract_x);
    return bar;
}

Demos:

*

*c++14

*c++11 (no return auto)

I think it's a good idea to prepare a few generic function wrappers of your own to avoid all those begin/ends. eg:
template <typename Containter, typename Functor>
void ForIndices (const Containter & c, Functor && f)
{
    for (size_t i = 0; i < c.size(); ++i)
        f(i);
}

Use like so:
auto Bar (const std::vector<Foo> & xy)
{
    std::vector<double> bar(xy.size());
    ForIndices(xy, [&](int i){bar[i] = xy[i].x;});
    return bar;
}

Liverpool should make a transfer move for Real Madrid outcast Denis Cheryshev
Jason PettigroveEuropean football writer specialising in FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and La Liga.Tuesday 8 Dec 2015 12:08 pm
Denis Cheryshev looks to set to leave Real Madrid (Picture: Getty Images)
Poor old Denis Cheryshev. No sooner had the Real Madrid winger wildly celebrated a Copa Del Rey opener against Cadiz than his world came tumbling down.
Upon graduation from Real Madrid Castilla, Cheryshev would surely have hoped to have a decent run in the first team but the young Russian hasn't really made his mark for Los Blancos. Farmed out to both Sevilla and Villarreal on loan and blighted by injuries, nothing has really gone right in his short career thus far.
It was an indiscretion with the Yellow Submarine that ultimately saw Cheryshev's actions disqualify his parent club from this year's cup competition. A decision that has infuriated president Florentino Perez.
After receiving three yellow cards in last years competition, the final one for a foul on Barcelona's Gerard Pique in the semi-final, Cheryshev would need to serve an immediate ban, which would obviously come into effect the next time that he played.
The player himself can't really be expected to recall such instances and there are a multitude of administration staff in a club the size of Real Madrid whose job it is to ensure these oversights are kept to an absolute minimum.
In any event, the failure of anyone there to realise the gravitas of the situation is poor enough. To then compound the error by suggesting that not a single employee knew of the ban makes Madrid look utterly foolish.
Jurgen Klopp likes traditional attacking wingers (Picture: Getty Images)
Clearly the mess that has been created has left Cheryshev out on a limb. It's doubtful he would've played any games other than in the Copa del Rey anyway, but now his situation is virtually untenable.
There is every reason to believe therefore that a January move would be best for all parties and to that end, Liverpool may show their hands again.
Cheryshev was interesting the club even before Brendan Rodgers' departure but according to reports Jurgen Klopp is now keen to open talks. The Russian certainly fits the profile that Klopp demands.
Lightning-fast and a willing runner, the 24-year-old is an old school type winger and will enjoy the high-intensity pressing game that the German prefers.
Although he is no Raheem Sterling at this point, if the player gets a good morale-boosting run in the Liverpool side he can benefit immensely. As he showed against Barcelona, he isn't frightened of putting his foot in and the demands of a physical English Premier League won't deter him.
A loan deal may be preferred at this juncture and if he can stay injury free for the period and showcase his skill set, Liverpool fans will have a gem on their hands.

Q: NodeJS : Mongoose findByIdAndUpdate() returns null Consider the following code on NodeJS for updating a Document By id:
router.put('/:orderId', async(req, res) => {

    let update_orderId = req.params.orderId;
    let new_item = req.body.item;
    let new_item_desc = req.body.item_desc;
    let new_quantity = req.body.quantity;
    let new_unit_price =  req.body.unit_price;
    let new_total_cost = new_quantity * new_unit_price;
    let new_status = req.body.status;
    let new_priority = req.body.priority;

    await RequestPermissionOrderSchema.findByIdAndUpdate( update_orderId, {
            $set: {
                item: new_item,
                item_desc: new_item_desc,
                quantity: new_quantity,
                unit_price: new_unit_price,
                total_cost: new_total_cost,
                status: new_status,
                priority: new_priority,
                directOrder: false
            }
        },
        { new: true, useFindAndModify: false}, function (err, docs) {
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
                res.send(err);
            } else {
                console.log("Updated Request Permission Order : ", docs);
                res.json(docs);
            }
        });
});

Everything is according to the latest documentation of Mongoose 5.10.9 and the schema also contains all the properties specified under  $set: { ... } . But when I execute, I get the output as follows in the console:
updated Request Permission Order : null

I also make sure of whether the  _id  is available in the mongoDB database and that object ID is there. I can't seem to find what I did wrong. Really appreciate any help on this !

Also, note that I want to update by the  _id  auto-generated by MongoDB with each document.

A: Just pass the JSON object, remove the $set
 await RequestPermissionOrderSchema.findByIdAndUpdate( update_orderId, {
            $set: {     // REMOVE THIS $set
                item: new_item,
                item_desc: new_item_desc,
                quantity: new_quantity,
                unit_price: new_unit_price,
                total_cost: new_total_cost,
                status: new_status,

Author: Christian Kvorning Lassen
The Danish referendum on the abolition of the opt-out on the 3rd of December resulted in a "no", making the future prospects of Danish participation in Europol uncertain.
Following the "no", Denmark's hope for Europol participation lies in a parallel agreement. However, the prospects of participation in a parallel agreement are uncertain at best.
There are three major obstacles that need to be overcome before a parallel agreement can be a reality, which seems highly unlikely, as outlined in my previous blog.
First and foremost, Denmark cannot initiate negotiations on a parallel agreement on Europol before the new supranational regulation has been passed, which happens in April 2016. Considering that negotiations would have to begin afterwards and that parallel agreements in the past on average have taken upwards of 5 years to pass, it is highly unlikely that a parallel agreement could materialize before April 2017 when the regulation comes into force.
Secondly, Great Britain's upcoming referendum on EU membership will likely make the European Commission unwilling to begin negotiations with Denmark as it could set unwanted judicial precedents for a potential British arrangement.
Thirdly, there are simply more pressing concerns for the European Commission, namely the future of the Schengen and Dublin agreements following the mass migratory flows under which Europe is currently strugglin. Coupled with the fact that Denmark is essentially just reaping what it sowed by democratically discarding future participation in Europol, the Commission is unlikely to be forthcoming in alleviating Denmark's self-inflicted plight.
Aside from these three obstacles, there are a host of judicial problems pertaining to the Lisbon Treaty that needs to be overcome due to Denmark's hitherto special opt-out status. In sum, it seems highly unlikely that Denmark will be able to remain in Europol on equal terms with the remaining participating countries come April 2017.
Denmark's "no" at the referendum is indicative of Denmark's ability to exert pressure on the EU in order to accrue special conditions specifically tailored to Danish interests. However, while that may have been possible once, such as in 1992 when Denmark initially rejected the Maastricht Treaty, the contemporary EU is vastly different. Institutionally, the EU is more fully fledged following the Lisbon Treaty. Similarly, following several successful enlargement campaigns, convergence is more than ever desirable, making a slew of individual privileges to member states increasingly untenable by setting undesirable precedents.
Denmark is reaping what it has sown, yet the overall animosity towards the EU harbored by the majority of the electorate – which has only increased, as a parallel agreement seems more unlikely – belies a spoiled attitude bred by decades of special treatment. In a time where unity and cooperation is more relevant than ever, it is disturbing that Euroscepticism has blinded the majority of the Danish electorate to what is unequivocally a desirable agreement – optimizing authorities' conditions to combat transnational and international crime – simply because Denmark would have to give up parts of its special treatments garnered in the past. Whether it is the case of the spoiled child having to give up its toys or the inability of the pro-European elites to properly convey the benefits of Europol membership is unclear, but what remains is yet another unfortunate nail in the coffin for strengthening European solutions and the culture of European cooperation.

The potential of small animal photonic imaging has been considerably improved since the development of fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (fDOT) ten years ago. fDOT is a preclinical technique that can reconstruct quantitative images of fluorophore distributions in deep seated tissues with applications in the area of oncology, immunology and cardiovascular diseases. Apart from the use of fDOT as a stand-alone modality it can also be integrated as a part of a multimodal imaging framework, in particular in combination with other established molecular imaging modalities like μPET or μCT. To this direction a method will be presented that allows fDOT/PET/CT imaging of the same subject.
This seminar is divided in two parts. In the first part, the principles of fDOT will be presented. This will include a brief instrumentation description and an introduction to the optical theory applied for extracting quantitative fluorescent images. The advantages over the planar imaging systems will also be highlighted. In the second part in-vivo applications of the fused PET/fDOT approach for several small animal models will be presented. These include the use of PET and fDOT technologies both comparatively and synergistically.

Editor's Note | Nov 7, 2020
Jacqueline "Jax" Agtuca
"I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is, that they take their feet off our necks."—Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The calendar year 2020 will be forever marked as a time of great challenge.
In 2020, we suffered a tragic loss in lives and wellbeing due to COVID-19; unjustified killings by police of Black, Native, and other Peoples of Color; and human suffering in detention facilities. Yet it also witnessed a groundswell of peoples across the nation calling for justice.
In 2020, victories were also won that allow us to continue to build toward a safer future. The affirmation of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation's reservation by the U.S. Supreme Court is a historic legal victory. The removal of racist cultural icons, including statues and renaming of monuments, athletic teams, and racist commercial logos, are historic cultural victories. The groundswell calling for justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women is a victory challenging social tolerance for violence against Native women. And the release of "Konnón:kwe - Without A Whisper," a movie providing the country the opportunity to know the truth of Native women's contributions to the early suffragist movement for the right to vote, is a victory.
These victories and others are stepping stones to restoring respect for Native women and safety in their lives in the United States. And as the COVID-19 pandemic rages, circling our Mother Earth, the impact of decades of work at the international human rights level is being realized. Materials developed by international human rights bodies on responding to the pandemic are inclusive of the consequences on the world's Indigenous peoples, particularly women. Statements by international experts and Indigenous peoples and organizations provide insight, considerations, and resources to assist countries in responding to the pandemic in the context of Indigenous peoples.
2021 Transition in National Government
During a UN Commission on the Status of Women event Dawn Lavell-Harvard, the former President of the Native Women's Association of Canada, spoke these words: "To be born female and Indigenous in a country such as Canada, means that we are born political." Her words hold true for those born female and Native in the United States.
As the year comes to its end, the U.S. enters a period of transition of the national government. During these transitional periods, political clarity is essential to assert opinions, concerns, and recommendations for the path forward in 2021. The strategy to restore safety for Native women through strengthening the sovereignty of Indian Nations to protect women has guided the movement since the '90s. It reflects a stable and consistent political framework to achieve legal reforms to strengthen tribal authority to safeguard Native women's lives. This strategy is affirmed in historic legal victories for almost two decades.
"Safety through strengthening tribal sovereignty" is a strategy created from an Indigenous view of the world. It reflects the essence of the grandmothers of the movement for Native women's safety. A view essential to continued change under the next administration.
Since 2008, the National Congress of American Indians Task Force on Violence Against Women has provided a transitional memo to the new administration highlighting long-standing priority issues. While the details of these concerns and recommendations change between administrations, the overarching themes remain constant—safety for Native women and sovereignty for Indian Nations. The specific legislative agenda for the next four years is provided in the testimonies of tribal leaders during the annual consultations on violence against women since 2006. These recommendations address the immediate changes that must be made to reduce the barriers that make Native women vulnerable to violence.
The United States Federal Trust Responsibility to Indian Nations
As we look back at 2020 and forward to 2021, we must see our everyday lives through a political lens, a set of glasses sharpening our vision to not only see what is happening around us but why it is happening, the truth of the injustices we face and the path forward.
"When we do not talk about colonization, then we seem to be the most violent of all people. The rates of violence against Native have an explanation."—Tillie Black Bear
The relationship of the United States to Indian Nations is a political and legal one that does not derive from race or ethnicity. It is a relationship between governments established through hundreds of treaties, the Constitution, Congressional Acts, Supreme Court decisions, and Presidential Executive Orders. In exchange for the land of Indian Nations, the United States agreed to provide the support necessary—health care, education, and much more—for Indian Nations to exercise self-government and maintain stable communities. The list of promises is long, but safeguarding the lives of Native women rises as a priority.
Restoring the safety of Native women requires legal reforms that are dependent on mass public education to understand the truth of colonization. Is this possible? The sweeping change in Justice Ginsberg's opinions in tribal cases over the years creates hope it is possible. As we begin 2021, Restoration will continue its purpose to offer tribal perspectives on critical emerging issues.
In 2021, and the four years of the next administration, as stated in the McGirt decision on Justice Ginsberg's final day, of her final term as a Supreme Court Justice—"we hold the government to its word."

Following Christ means seeing, helping the suffering, Pope says
Catholic News Service | 07/11/2022
By Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Christians are called to follow the example of the good Samaritan and not just look with compassion at those who suffer, but also draw near to them, Pope Francis said.
Like the priest and the Levite in Jesus' parable, who pass by the injured man along the road and look the other way, Christians can sometimes be tempted to "take refuge behind dogmatisms to defend themselves from reality," the pope said July 10 during his Sunday Angelus address.
Nevertheless, the Gospel "teaches us to follow Jesus, because following Jesus teaches us to have compassion -- to see and to have compassion -- to become aware of others, especially those who suffer, those who are in need, and to intervene like the Samaritan, not to pass by but to stop," he said.
Before praying the Angelus prayer with pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square, the pope reflected on the Sunday Gospel reading from St. Luke.
The pope noted that St. Luke specifies the Samaritan was on a journey, meaning that "even though he had his own plans," he did not "come up with an excuse" to not help the injured man.
"Let us think about this," the pope said. "Isn't the Lord teaching us to do just that? To look off into the distance, to our final destination, while paying close attention to the steps to take here and now in order to get there."
Those who truly follow in Jesus' footsteps, he continued, learn "to see and to have compassion" for others and do not spend their time "pointing fingers at others, comparing them to the priest or the Levite."
Christians should not only "recognize when we have been indifferent and have justified ourselves," but also pray and ask God "to help us overcome our selfish indifference" to become true followers of Christ, he added.
"This is the prayer that I suggest to you today," the pope said: "Lord, that I might see and have compassion just like you see me and have compassion on me."
Pope Francis concluded his address by encouraging Christians not only to give alms to the poor but also to look in their eyes and truly empathize with them.
"If you give alms without touching the reality, without looking into the eyes of the person in need, those alms are for you, not for that person," the pope said.
"Think about this. Do I touch misery, even the misery that I am helping? Do I look into the eyes of the people who suffer, of the people that I help? I leave you with this thought -- to see and to have compassion," he said.

Use us as your agent, and we will rebate back to you at closing any amount that a builder offers in commission over and above 3% of the sales price.
E.G. a 4% commission means you will get 1% of the sales price back at closing – cash.
At 3%, we can afford to give every buyer our maximum effort and highest quality of service, and new construction buyers are no different. By giving any bonuses back to you, the client, we provide peace of mind that we are looking after you and not ourselves.
Many builders offer just 3%. But some offer $1000 bonuses, 4%, 5% – I've even seen 7% commissions. That is $1000s back in your pocket at closing, to put toward your down payment, furniture, moving expenses, closing costs, paying down the loan, Christmas presents, or whatever you want!
@CurtisScoon Why are the homes so cheap there? And do you see Detroit making a comeback? It seems to be begging us to build there.

During our three years in Ecuador, we have been able to visit the Chimborazo Province twice. Once was a quick overnight trip on our way to Guayaquil. Quick trips shouldn't hold you back… in fact, many of these photos came from a last minute decision to grab a taxi from the capital city of Riobamba up the slope of the highest mountain in Ecuador, Chimborazo.
The remainder comes from a long weekend stay at the Estrella del Chimborazo Lodge, one of the few lodging options available near the mountain. In fact, many climbers use the lodge as a base camp. It lies at 4,000 meters (13,123 feet).
Chimborazo Province is well-known in Ecuador for its native peoples and their traditional lifestyle. Many people still live in the countryside and make a living from their herds of llamas, alpacas, and their hybrids, collectively called "llamingos" by the locals. Potatoes and corn are the most common crops.
The people of Chimborazo are mainly Catholic. But, as in much of South America, Catholic traditions are often blended with native culture. For example, festivals for Carnaval often combine religious symbols of Christianity with fertility symbols from the Andean New Year.
It is impossible to truly know a place in only 9 photos, but I hope my choices encourage you to visit the province and discover Chimborazo for yourselves.
Click on any photo to begin a slideshow that includes descriptions that will better explain the where, when, why, and how of each one.
Over the next few weeks, I will share more sections from the book, beginning with the highest altitudes of Ecuador and traveling down steep Andean slopes to both the Amazon and to Coast until we finally cross the ocean to ourselves at sea level in the Galapagos.

10 Dos and Don'ts to Surviving Reboots in 2019 /
10 Dos and Don'ts to Surviving Reboots in 2019
Remember the offensively bad 2015 remake of Fantastic Four? The worst has yet to come.
Meg Hanson
Sometimes a remake is a gift of nostalgia, and sometimes it's a scourge against fans who deserve better.
Among 2019's onslaught of comic book movies, documentaries, and movies for nerds sans superheroes in tights, many studios are standing firm in their boycott of original ideas. Disney is launching a blitz attack on the American public with live action remakes of Aladdin and The Lion King (albeit the later is forgivable as long as it's precious), while MGM is animating a fan favorite, The Addams Family (which is forgivable as long as it's creepy).
Here are 10 Do's and Don'ts to survive this year's storm of reboots:
DON'T: What Men Want (February 8, 2019)
Nobody asked for a remake of this 2000 Mel Gibson film except the devil. Taraji P. Henson stars as the female version of Gibson's character, a sports agent who's overlooked for her male coworkers. Controversial singer Erykah Badu plays a fortune teller for some reason, and she gives Henson's character the ability to hear what men think. With an early 2.9/10 rating on IMDB, people want to watch this movie even less than they want to hear men's thoughts.
DO: Godzilla: King of the Monsters (May 31)
HorrorNews
Bring on the CGI circle jerk of gratuitous violence and melodramatic monster tropes! Millie Bobby Brown and Vera Farmiga star in this gladiatorial face off between Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and all three heads of King Ghidorah. A "crypto-zoological agency" (totally a real thing) called Monarch has to save humanity when all these monsters rise.
DON'T: Aladdin (May 24)
Disney recruited Guy Ritchie to recreate the 1992 classic. With Egyptian-born actor Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Power Rangers' Naomi Scott as Jasmine, and Will Smith boggling minds as the Genie, it looks just as strange as the live action Dumbo and Lion King remakes being released this year. Except it seems more wrong.
DO: Shaft (June 14)
What's more appropriate for the third Shaft film than to include not one, but three Shafts?! Richard Roundtree and Samuel L. Jackson return as John Shaft and John Shaft II, but the new addition is Jessie T. Usher (Independence Day: Resurgence) as the very unique John Shaft Jr.. Described as "a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT," Junior enlists his father's (Jackson) help "to uncover the truth behind his best friend's untimely death." Yes, with three separate Shafts, this movie promises to be confusing, but it looks super fun.
DON'T: Men in Black: International (June 14)
With the Men in Black franchise already stretched thin, this could go terribly wrong. But the quirky chemistry between Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in Thor: Ragnarok restored our faith in the Thor franchise, so there's a chance they're worthwhile as Agent M and Agent H. Both agents "tackle their biggest threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization," and hopefully Hemsworth and Thompson will bring some of the irreverence and offbeat humor they managed in Ragnarok.
DO: Child's Play (June 21)
The worst birthday gift a mother could give her son is being brought back by the producers of It. Aubrey Plaza will play against type as the unwitting mother who commits child abuse by giving her son a Chucky doll. Plaza seems the type who would do that because it's funny.
DON'T: Grudge (June 21)
It's a 2019 remake of the 2004 remake of the 2004 Japanese original, Ju-On. While this version will include John Cho, who's an eternal delight, the film will also feature an attractive American woman (Andrea Riseborough) entering a haunted house before an entity tries to kill her. Again.
MAYBE: The Lion King (July 19)
Reasons to not outright pan this film as a bastardization of your childhood include: Jon Favreau directs, Hans Zimmer scores, Donald Glover is the voice of Simba, Seth Rogan is Pumbaa, James Earl Jones is Mufasa, and Beyoncé is Nala. Not to mention, John Oliver is the perfect voice of Zuzu, while Oscar-nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor voices Scar.
DO: The Addams Family (October 18)
After this animated feature premieres in time for Halloween, the Addams will be the creepiest family since the Lohans. While the live action cast remains iconic, this remake features Burton-esque artwork and an all-star cast of Charlize Theron as Morticia, Chloë Grace Moretz as Wednesday, and Oscar Isaac as Gomez.
DON'T: Charlie's Angels (November 1, 2019)
Marie Clare
At first, this seems promising, with Charlie played by Elizabeth Banks, who also directs; but who are the newest, coolest angels? Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott. and Ella Balinska, for some reason. Remember the offensively bad 2015 remake of Fantastic Four? Me either. Hopefully, we'll forget this reboot just as quickly.

Report highlights challenges at some Chicago schools
(jamesongravity / Flickr)
CHICAGO (AP) - A Chicago Board of Education report shows that some wealthy families scammed to get their children into selective-enrollment schools and that some school administrators concealed dropouts to boost attendance and graduation rates.
The annual report by the board's inspector general comes after Chicago Public Schools has increased consequences for anyone cheating to get into selective-enrollment programs and has tightened criteria for counting transfers.
Inspector General Nicholas Schuler said there were 181 complaints in over residency issues. In one case, a family living in a large home in an affluent Chicago suburb rented a small apartment in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood so their child could attend a school despite test scores that didn't make the cut.
Schuler noted in an earlier report that families who lie to get their children into elite, selective-enrollment schools seldom face serious consequences. Now, students with false admission records will be kicked out of school.
The report said that in fiscal year 2016, auditors found addresses were falsified for 18 students in order to gain admissions advantage because the false address was in a lower socio-economic "tier."
Chicago's public school system provides more leeway to poor children when competing against students from wealthier families for admission to test-in schools. In his report, Schuler said the CPS' requirement to prove residency when the child applies is a "critical weakness of the tier-selection system."
CPS test-in schools are rated among the best in Chicago and Illinois. Of the students enrolled in those schools, 62 have been caught lying about their address since 2012, according to Schuler.
"It is a small number of people, but we don't know how big the problem is," Schuler said. He said it was easy for "a child to magically move `on paper' from relative affluence to relative need in order to game the system."
CPS spokeswoman Emily Bittner said asking families for more information would "put an extraordinary paperwork burden on families from some of the most challenged economic backgrounds and put up unnecessary barriers preventing them from enrolling their children in some of the city's top schools." But she said the district flags suspicious cases, such as a student with an address change from their 8th grade to their freshman year.
The report also said that for years administrators at one Chicago high school falsely recorded hundreds of students who were absent, missing or had dropped out as transfers to home-school programs. The name of the school wasn't included in the report.
Bittner said miscoding students as home-schooled isn't a widespread problem.

Packgo is the part of the seven divisions which deals in packaging and recycling processes. It was started in 1948 and today it is one of the most world's largest packaging dealer company. It has the total annual turnover of 10 billion AUD. It employs more than 9000 employees and it is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.
Why ERP was implemented in the packgo company ?
In 1998, Packgo company decided to implement the integration between the finance and reporting data across all the sub departments within the single system. Because of using the different legacy systems, it was not possible to correctly integrate all the data and proper reporting data was also not proper.
How ERP software was implemented in the packgo company ?
When ERP was to be implemented in the packgo erp software, its implementation was distributed under the two external vendors - one was SAP and technical implementation vendor was PWC. The SAP R/3 software was selected as the appropriate software.
PackCo's ERP project commenced in 1998 after a series of vendor evaluation studies. The senior management decided that the project would involve two external vendors. PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) was selected to be the technical implementation vendor and SAP was to be the software vendor. The SAP-based ERP platform to be purchased was SAP R/3.
There were two modules were selected, which were finance modules and material management. Later on they decided to implement the further modules related to sales, distribution, CRM and project management.

A quick and easy Tex Mex Ground Beef Skillet dinner made in under 30 minutes!
Hey y'all! As requested I have a quick and easy dinner recipe for you. I'm going to show you how to make a easy and delicious tex mex ground beef skillet! This dish is perfect if you're pushing for time, and want something made within 30 minutes. Not only is this meal easy on your time, but it's easy on your pockets as well. I use super affordable ingredients such as ground beef, rice, corn, and beans. Most of the ingredients used, if not all, you probably already have on hand!
The ground beef that I used was regular ground beef. You can use lean if you choose. If you decide to use regular ground beef like I did, be sure to drain all of the fat once the meat if browned. If you're not a fan of beef, feel free to replace it with ground turkey.
I used a can of low sodium Rotel for this recipe. You can use a generic brand, or regular canned tomatoes if you'd like. Just make sure that you drain the liquid from the can before adding the tomatoes into the dish.
I used canned black beans for this recipe. Before adding the beans into the skillet, I made sure to drain the liquid from the can, and I also rinse the beans under cool water.
If you're not a fan of black beans you can use red beans, or pinto beans. You can also leave the beans out altogether if you'd like.
This is a perfect weeknight dinner dish for when you're pressed for time but want something filling and hearty. This recipe is like a taco in every spoonful with the meat, beans, rice and veggies all blending together.
Sprinkle in all of the seasonings, and stir.
Add in the corn, rotel, and green onion, then mix the ingredients.
Cook for five minutes then add in the rice, and fold in all of the ingredients.
Next, add in the beans, and stir the ingredients until well combined.
Cook for 5 minutes or so, then turn off the heat, and top with cheese and green onions.
This looks so good! Love how quick and easy it is to get on the table. Pinned. Thanks for sharing.
I am definitely making this. It looks delicious!
Tried it!! Was delicious!! And very different for a change, thks Rosie.
I'm looking forward to making this but I have a question. You give your taco seasoning recipe but don't specify how much to use. Do I use the whole mix for the 1 1/2 lbs beef?
I did give the specific amount. I used all of it hun.
I really appreciate all the work you put into your website. I like how you not only have the recipe, but a video showing how to as well. I've cooked with you many times! Thanks!!!!
Needed something quick and this hit the spot.
Thanks so much for your great and short video. I was craving some kind of ground beef, rice, and veggie skillet tonight, but I hadn't thought of Tex-Mex seasoning until I found this recipe. It hit the spot! My 6-year-old called it the best supper ever, and he rarely says anything like that. Thanks a lot! I'll be making it agian.
Hi Kate! Glad that you liked the recipe!
This recipe made a great lazy friday meal. My wife and I ate it with multi grain tostitos scoops and we absolutely loved the meal, thanks Rosie!
Yes! I love to serve it with tortillas, guacamole, and sour cream!
Yummy! Thanks for trying my recipe!
I am so glad I found this! I was looking for a ground beef recipe that WASN'T meatloaf, stroganoff, meatballs or tacos! I had everything I needed in the cupboard and best of all, my picky eater loved it. She also saw some of your great looking desserts, so we'll have to try some more of your recipes. Thank you!
Thanks for trying my recipe Val!
I cant wait to try it! Question… The recipe says "low sodium taco seasoning" and then it has some seasonings listed below it. Are those the ingredients of the taco season, or are they in addition to your taco seasoning mix?
I stumbled upon this and made my own rendition, but what a great base you built for me! Thanks!
As delicious as this was the first night, it was even better the next night! We really enjoyed it and I'm making it again tonight!
Hi Rosie, I made this recipe for me and my boyfriend and we both love it! You and your recipes are awesome keep cooking!
Made Rex Mex Skillet last night for dinner. My kids and I absolutely loved it! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes. I give my own 5 , 5th star won't light up.
I made this tonight! It was absolutely delicious! My picky 7 year old son enjoyed it as well. The only ingredient I didn't have was tomatoes/rotel. I can't wait to make this again and include it.
Made this a number of times now and the recipe is perfect as is – a rare find these days. Excellent job! Thank you! This is becoming a staple recipe for our family.
Should the rice already be cooked before putting it in?
I made this with ground venison and it was amazing!
Thank you so much! I made this for my boyfriend of two years, the next day he proposed!!!
We've made this fabulous dish twice. The first time we used ground turkey and the other time using chopped chicken breast. Both were delicious! We also made cilantro lime rice to accompany the dish and it was right on time. Thanks for another awesome recipe Rosie!
This recipe turned out great! I also added sautéed green pepper and onion, and diced,fried potatoes. When it was done I topped it with the shredded cheese and I also added a few avocado slices on top. The whole family loved this meal! This is a great recipe that you can customize, it would also be great with pan seared chicken strips instead of ground beef!
This recipe was very tasty yet simple to make.
This was really good, fast, and made a lot of food. I made one where i followed your recipe and beside it one where i did everything the same except used chicken and store bought fajita seasoning which was very flavorful and delecious.
Made this last night and it was delish! Hubby even loved it. Love making new recipes. Thanks for a yummy recipe Rosie.
Can I use one package of taco seasoning? Like the store bought one?
If you choose to, but that will change the recipe.
