Bitwa pod Budziszynem (niem. Schlacht bei Bautzen) – starcie zbrojne, które miało miejsce w dniach 20–21 maja 1813 r. w końcowym okresie wojen napoleońskich. Armią francuską dowodził osobiście Napoleon I Bonaparte, wojskami sprzymierzonych zaś generał Piotr Wittgenstein i książę Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Bitwa zakończyła się zwycięstwem armii Napoleona, ale nie doprowadziła do ostatecznego pokonania przeciwnika.

Działania
Po bitwie pod Lützen, stoczonej 2 maja 1813 r. (zwanej też bitwą pod Großgörschen), w której Napoleon pobił wojska rosyjsko-pruskie, armia sprzymierzonych rozpoczęła odwrót. Napoleon zajął Drezno, a następnie ruszył w pościg, wydzielając ze swej armii 84-tysięczny, manewrowy korpus marszałka Neya, i w okolicach Budziszyna zaatakował ponownie. Pomimo że Francuzom ostatecznie nie udał się – z winy Neya, który nie zrozumiał intencji cesarza – manewr cęgowy, bitwa oceniona została jako zwycięstwo francuskie.

Krótko przed bitwą dwójka monarchów wojsk sprzymierzonych spotkała się na Górnych Łużycach, gdzie dopilnowywała koncentracji swoich wojsk pod Budziszynem. Ich siły liczyły 250 000 Rosjan i Prusaków, w tym 30 000 kawalerii, podczas gdy Francuzi dysponowali wojskami w liczbie 115 000 ludzi w sile frontalnego uderzenia oraz 84 000 kawaleryjskiego korpusu Neya.

Korzystny układ terenu wokół Budziszyna oferował sprzymierzonym dobre pozycje obronne. Tutaj też wojska koalicji dnia 13 maja postanowiły przyjąć Francuzów. Ewentualne zwycięstwo Napoleona otwierało przed nim szansę zakończenia pomyślnie całej wojny. Nie stało się tak jedynie dlatego, że Ney zbyt późno rozpoczął manewr okrążający i oddalił się zbytnio, pozwalając Wittgensteinowi wymknąć się z pułapki z niewielkimi stosunkowo stratami i w dość dobrym porządku ujść na Śląsk.

Dla dokonania manewru cęgowego Napoleon podzielił swoje siły, które miały uderzyć z dwóch różnych kierunków. Napoleon zaatakował pierwszy, przyparł armię przeciwnika do Sprewy i w sensie taktycznym bitwę wygrał. Francuzi zmusili przeciwnika do opuszczenia stanowisk obronnych i odwrotu na wschód. Jednak – pozbawiony kawalerii – nie mógł rzucić się w pościg, gdy zaś Ney wreszcie nadciągnął, było za późno.

Po bitwie
Po bitwie Napoleon był bardzo rozczarowany wynikiem. Formalnie pokonał przeciwnika, zmuszając go do odwrotu, w ostatecznym rozrachunku zwycięstwo to okazało się nieznaczne. Francuzi stracili pod Budziszynem około 13 000 żołnierzy, a sprzymierzeni około 15 000. Jednak niektóre źródła podają straty wojsk koalicji sięgające 20 000 żołnierzy. Mimo wszystko Napoleonowi nie udało się osiągnąć celu, a jego wojska były zbyt wyczerpane, aby wydać przeciwnikowi kolejną bitwę. Do boju ruszyła jedynie kawaleria.

Doszło do starcia pod Wurschen, gdzie pobity został Blücher, a 22 maja pod Löbau pierwszy szwadron 1 pułku szwoleżerów-lansjerów pod Jerzmanowskim wpadł znienacka na dragonów rosyjskich, omal nie zagarnął w niewolę księcia Wasilija Trubeckiego i zepchnął rozbitych dragonów pod szable innych pułków jazdy napoleońskiej.

Była to trzecia część tej bitwy, zwana czasami "bitwą pod Reichenbach". Generałowie Krasiński i Lefebvre-Desnouettes wiedli do boju szwoleżerów polskich i "czerwonych" holenderskich oraz szaserów gwardii. Chłapowski i Jerzmanowski (każdy na czele dwóch szwadronów) rozbijali całe pułki kawalerii nieprzyjaciela. Potykał się dzielnie 8 pułk szwoleżerów-lansjerów Łubieńskiego. W tej sytuacji Rosjanie postanowili postawić zaporę ogniową. Kanonada powstrzymała polską i francuską szarżę. Od kuli armatniej zginął gen. Bruyére, zabito konia pod Desnouettesem, a na koniec śmierć poniósł zaufany człowiek cesarza, generał Geraud Duroc.

Następstwem bitwy było podpisanie 4 czerwca w śląskim Pläswitz zawieszenia broni, które przetrwało do czasu operacji berlińskiej, będącej prologiem do "Bitwy Narodów" rozegranej w dniach 16–19 października 1813.

Turkish President
World's Leading Demagogue
You can keep your Orban, your Netanyahu, your pathetic Boris Johnson. As for Donald Trump, he's really an icon of democracy, just slightly shop-soiled. The coveted title of World's Leading Demagogue has just gone to the Turkish President, Recep Tayyib Erdogan.
Erdogan may look like an ageing, disappointed post office clerk, passed over for promotion too many times, but he can take an ignorant remark from halfway around the planet and inflate it into an existential threat to Turkey's future. He's desperately trying to rally support for his AK party in local elections due at the end of the month, so what better theme than the threat of an invasion by New Zealand?
"Your grandparents came here," he warned the savage New Zealand hordes, "and they returned in caskets. Have no doubt that we will send you back like your grandfathers." Erdogan had already warmed the crowd up by showing them footage of the massacre of New Zealand Muslims in their mosques by Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant, so they cheered that line.
"They are testing us from 16,500 km. away, from New Zealand, with the messages they are giving from there. This isn't an individual act, this is organised," he explained, and then showed the crowd extracts from Tarrant's 74-page manifesto on a giant screen. One of the killer's many goals, it seems, was to 'drive Turkey out of Europe'. (The country's north-western corner, including half of Istanbul, is the southern Balkans.)
Erdogan also accuses the West as a whole of "preparing" Tarrant's manifesto and "handing it to him." New Zealand is presumably just the West's chosen weapon. There are three times as many people in Istanbul alone as there are in New Zealand, so that may sound like an empty threat to you, but bear in mind that Erdogan's electoral support mostly comes from the less well educated half of the population.
He was speaking at a rally commemorating the Ottoman empire's victory over British and allied troops who landed at Gallipoli, 200 km southwest of Istanbul, in 1915. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand) troops played a big part in that First World War battle, which is one of the founding myths of modern Turkish nationalism.
So Erdogan's audience would not necessarily have giggled when he defiantly warned the evil New Zealanders: "We have been here for a thousand years and will be here until the apocalypse, God willing. You will not turn Istanbul into Constantinople." There he stood, metaphorical sword in hand, turning back the New Zealand neo-Crusaders single-handed, and the world heavyweight title for demagoguery was his.
First, a couple of niggling details. Istanbul IS Constantinople; the name hasn't changed. 'Istanbul' is just the Turkish pronunciation of the old Greek popular name for the city, 'Stamboul'. (The Turkish language does not like words to start with two consonants.)
Second, the Turks have NOT been there for a thousand years. They conquered the city in 1453, five-hundred-and-some years ago. Before that it was Christian for rather more than a thousand years. But you don't want to get caught up in the details when you're holding a flaming sword.
And third, I have never met anybody in Europe who wants it 'back'. It would be as ridiculous as somebody in the Muslim world wanting Granada or Seville back.
Oh, wait a minute. I HAVE met Muslims who want Granada and Seville back. They tend to be of the Islamist persuasion, but there is a quite widespread conviction in the Arab world that the original 7th-century conquests that gave Muslims control of half of the then-Christian world were legitimate, whereas the 12th-century European counter-offensive that tried to take some of them back (the Crusades) was illegitimate aggression.
It was really just the ebb and flow of empires, with religion mostly as cover. The Muslims (or at least the Ottoman Turks) were on the offensive again by the 15th century, almost reaching Vienna by 1688. Then the tide turned again and the British empire was almost at the gates of Istanbul in 1915. Nothing to get excited about – and now it's over.
It really is over. Legally, it has not been permissible to change borders by force since the UN Charter was written in 1945, and in fact few have changed. Militarily, modern technologies and methods of political mobilisation have made it ruinously expensive to sustain the long-term occupation of people who do not want to be occupied.
So I think it will be hard for New Zealand to reconquer Istanbul even if it wants to. Turkey is safe. But the old tribal buttons are still there to be pushed, and there are plenty of populist demagogues willing to push them.
Trump has his border wall ('criminal' Mexicans) and his anti-Muslim immigration controls ('terrorist' Muslims). Orban has the Jews (the enemy within Hungary's border) and Muslim refugees (the enemy without). Narendra Modi, now in election mode, has Muslims both within India's borders (cow-killers) and beyond them (Pakistani nukes and terrorists).
And Erdogan just has New Zealanders. Must try harder.
To shorten to 700 words, omit paragraphs 4 and 5. ("They…population")

Transcription of the bovine adrenodoxin gene produces two species of mRNA of which only one is translated into adrenodoxin.
Kagimoto M, Kagimoto K, Simpson ER, Waterman MR
J Biol Chem. 1988 263 (18): 8925-8
The 5'-end of the bovine adrenodoxin gene contains unique structural characteristics. Exons 1 and 2 appear to encode different presequences for this mitochondrial precursor protein. However, exon 1 contains a stop codon (TAA) in place of amino acid 15. Thus, while two species of bovine adrenodoxin mRNA arise from a single gene, only the abundant mRNA species (90%) is translated into the adrenodoxin precursor which contains the presequence encoded by exon 2. The minor mRNA species (10%) contains the sequence encoded by exon 1 and cannot be translated into an adrenodoxin precursor. Presumably the sequence within exon 2 is removed from this minor mRNA species by alternative splicing. Furthermore, the initiation of transcription of the major adrenodoxin mRNA (exon 2) lies within intron 1 of this unusual gene, while that for the other mRNA (exon 1) lies in the 5'-flanking region. Thus, the adrenodoxin gene is the first example of a gene encoding a mitochondrial protein which falls into the category of genes having alternate promoters utilizing a pattern of alternative splicing.

In order to discharge the contaminated land planning condition attached to the decision notice for original decision notice (09/2966C).
The site comprised of an open parcel of sloping land, the historical Ordnance Survey maps indicated a building was present on the site form the first edition map to circa 1976. A number of parcels of in-filled land were identified to be present within 250m of the site.
Made ground was identified in the hand held trial pits excavated as part of the walkover survey.
The report concluded that the off site sourced of ground gases were not credible sources, and no further works were proposed.
Given that the site levels would be lowered as part of the development, it was proposed that any made ground should be removed from the site.
A new planning application was submitted in 2010 (10/0558C), and the desk study report was submitted as part of the new application (the desk study report can be accessed here).
The proposals it the desk study report were approved and the condition discharged.

Program 17: The Prince (El Príncipe)
Directed by Sebastián Muñoz
October 13, ImageOut There! Series, Subtitled
Chile/Argentina/Belgium
EAST COAST premiere
WARNING: Graphic sexual content, violence, and nudity
In 1970s Chile, 20-something Jaime (Juan Carlos Maldonado) is imprisoned for murder after a night of heavy drinking that ends with Jaime suddenly and seemingly inexplicably slashing the throat of his best friend.
Already a lost and lonely soul in the outside world, one expects the young man would be easy prey for the unscrupulous souls he'll find inside the prison. And at first, those assumptions seem correct when he's dropped into a cell with "The Stallion" (Alfredo Castro). A charismatic and respected older gangster, The Stallion maintains a small stable of younger men who cling to him for the protection he provides. Amidst the jealousy of certain cellmates, Jaime immediately becomes the favorite, the one who shares The Stallion's bed each night.
Dubbed "The Prince" by his new makeshift family, Jaime adapts surprisingly well to life behind bars. On the inside, the most valuable currency is loyalty; though his relationship with The Stallion is complicated, there's genuine affection there. In these unexpected new circumstances, he's able to embrace his sexual identity and find the home he never really knew outside those prison walls. Attracted to the power and affection he's craved for so long, Jaime finds himself willingly drawn into the deadly power struggles that play out amongst the prison's inmates.
Inspired by a '70s dime-store pulp novel, The Prince both embraces and rises above its somewhat disreputable origins to become a thrilling prison drama, a poignant coming-of-age story, and a gripping story about the very human desire to be loved and seen for who we truly are.

Etihad says German codeshare ruling is 'victory for competition'
Luneberg court decision approves 94% of Abu Dhabi airline's requested codeshares with partner Air Berlin
The decision of a German court to allow Etihad Airways to continue with the majority of codeshare routes with partner Air Berlin has been hailed as a victory for competition by the airline's president.
The judgement appears to bring to an end a long-running dispute between German authorities and the UAE's flag-carrier.
In a statement, the Abu Dhabi carrier said that it welcomed the ruling, and that it expected to continue with its planned codeshares beyond the winter schedule.
The higher administrative court approved 26 of the 31 codeshares in question. Together with the 50 approved codeshares already in place, 76 of the 81 codeshares have now been approved, Etihad said in a statement.
The five routes that have not been approved are all German domestic routes.
"We are pleased with the ruling which confirms 94 percent of Etihad Airways' codeshares," Etihad president and CEO James Hogan said in the statement.
"This ruling is a victory for consumers and competition in Germany.
"We remain strongly committed to our strategic partner, airberlin, and will redouble our efforts to provide a strong competitive alternative to the dominant German carrier, Lufthansa."
The court said the international routes could continue as they were in accordance with a bilateral agreement struck between Germany and Abu Dhabi in 2000.
Code share flights allow carriers to jointly market a route, allowing them to expand their network and help fill their planes. Etihad says code shares were a key reason why it invested in loss-making Air Berlin in 2012.
But the German government said in 2014 that some of the previous approved code shares were not covered by a traffic rights agreement between Germany and the United Arab Emirates.
It said late last year it would approve about 29 disputed routes for the final time until Jan. 15, a decision that was backed by a lower court in Brunswick.
Etihad, which owns 29 percent of Air Berlin, had sought to appeal that decision and gain a temporary injunction to allow the code shares to continue at least until the end of the winter flight schedule.

University of Rochester may subject single gender organizations to arbitrary waiver process
UPDATE: The amendment passed and is now officially part of the Students' Association constitution. FIRE will continue to watch the situation and encourages any students negatively affected by this policy to submit a case.
Starting this Thursday and Friday, University of Rochester students will be voting on an amendment to the Students' Association Government constitution that would force single-gender organizations such as sports clubs, a cappella groups, sororities, and fraternities to file a waiver annually to keep their single-gender status. This amendment was ratified by the Students' Association Senate with fifteen voting in its favor and two abstaining. This amendment would affect 55 of the university's 250 student organizations, and subjects their freedom of association to the arbitrary whim of those in power.
This constitutional amendment follows a decision last year from the judicial branch of the Students' Association Government finding that the existence of such groups violated the school's constitution by allowing gender discrimination. A task force of students was convened to decide how to address the issue, and released several pages of recommendations on April 1.
The task force recommended that in order to maintain recognized status and funding, single gender groups would have to demonstrate that they are unable to become coed due to a policy of the parent organization (as is common with fraternities and sororities) or, in the case of sports clubs, prove that there is no coed league within reasonable distance from the school. A cappella groups were recommended to "consider revising their membership policies to focus on vocal range rather than gender."
Subjecting single gender organizations to a burdensome waiver process every year based on those with whom they associate undermines students' freedom of association.
In addition, under the set of recommendations, all groups applying for the waiver must demonstrate evidence of "education of members about the transgender, non-binary, and gender variant communities, and about the LGBTQ+ community more broadly" and "actions or policies that the organization has implemented to provide a more welcoming and inclusive environment for transgender, non-binary, and gender variant students and for LGBTQ+ students more broadly."
The amendment itself breaks from the recommendations by keeping the waivers, but lightening the requirements for receiving one.
Under the amendment, single gender groups must "demonstrate that their membership policy and selection processes are integral to the mission of the organization, are openly advertised, and are non-discriminatory on all other grounds" to receive a waiver. If they fail to request a waiver, or if their waiver is denied, they will lose their formal recognition and presumably their funding from the University of Rochester Students' Association.
While this is less restrictive than what the task force recommended, it still has significant problems. Subjecting single gender organizations to a burdensome waiver process every year based on those with whom they associate undermines students' freedom of association. Secondly, the wording of the amendment is extremely vague, and it is entirely unclear how one could effectively argue that single gender membership policy is integral to the "mission" of an a cappella group or sports team.
Without any clear standards, this ambiguity opens the policy to arbitrary enforcement, based primarily on the whims and biases of whoever is making the decision. FIRE hopes that University of Rochester students refuse to hang the fate of these groups by such a thin thread as this burdensome and arbitrary process. The students at the University of Rochester deserve to have their extracurricular opportunities protected better than this policy provides, and we hope that they will vote down the amendment.
We reached out to the University of Rochester for comment and after several days received no response.


Home » Doctor's Manual for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome » Frequently asked Question & Answers » How many patients can be weaned off T3 therapy?
They all can. The question is: Will all of the patients who do improve, remain improved as compared to the way they were before treatment? Even though many patients do enjoy persistent improvement, some of the patients will go back to feeling as they did prior to treatment. Much less than 1%, if any, will have symptoms that are persistently worse after T3 therapy than they were prior to T3 therapy (Q16).

Many Galaxy S5 Health Features are Available on Current Devices
A major component of Samsung's Mobile World Congress push was a new focus on health and fitness. All of the company's product releases at MWC incorporated fitness in some way. Here is what we said of the S5:
The S5 has a built in heart rate sensor – the first smartphone to do so. The device also features a new application, S Health. While it seems that S Health works best when paired with one of the new Galaxy Gear devices, it has some powerful functionality on its own. It has powerful monitoring and tracking functionality; workout coaching; and many other health/fitness features.
And the new Gear Fit:
The Gear Fit is pretty focused, and fits in line with Samsung's new push for health and fitness. It has tons of built in features: movement tracking; pedometer; sleep monitor; phone notifications, and the ability to respond with quick texts; and much, much more.
It is not just Samsung making a health push, Sony is in on it as well.
While the health and fitness push at MWC seems to be focused on new and future devices, many of the new features are available on currently available devices. The tone and messaging at MWC made it sound as if these new products and features are revolutionary, and exist in no other form. However, it is quite easy to perform many of these tasks today.
Apple's iPhone 5S has very unique chip built in. The M7 coprocessor handles all of the device's movement and acceleration data collection. According to Apple:
It's designed specifically to measure motion data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass…Now fitness apps that track physical activity can access that data from the M7 coprocessor without constantly engaging the A7 chip…M7 knows when you're walking, running, or even driving.1
TechCrunch writer Darrell Etherington laid out the benefits of this chip perfectly:
The M7 means that everyone will be able to carry a sensor similar to a Fitbit or equivalent in their pocket without having to cart around a separate device, which doesn't require syncing via Bluetooth or worrying about losing something that's generally tiny, plus there's no additional wristwear required.2
Essentially, the M7 coprocesser makes the iPhone 5S the perfect health and fitness platform. Whereas Apple has given developers the tools to build apps for fitness tracking, in the new S Health app for the Galaxy S5 – using the same sort of platform – Samsung took it upon themselves to build out the functionality.
Warner Crocker, of Gotta Be Mobile, listed a few apps that have been developed so far that make use of the M7 coprocessor:
ARGUS – Motion and Fitness Tracker
Cardiio – Heart Rate Monitor
Instant Heart Rate – Heart Rate Monitor 3
For Android, the selections are much more varied and the compatibility with certain devices is much more variable. Take a look, there are tons of offerings.
It is clear that the new Galaxy S5 and the new Samsung's new wearables are incredibly unique and feature-rich. That said, many of the lower-level functions can be achieved with your current smartphone.

There is a city where network systems have evolved: Den City. In this city, with the advanced network technology developed by the corporation "SOL Technology", a Virtual Reality space called "LINK VRAINS" has been developed, and in this VR Space people became excited over the latest way to Duel. However, in LINK VRAINS, a mysterious hacker group that hacks via Dueling has appeared: The Knights of Hanoi. Their goal is to destroy the "AI World" known as "Cyberse" that exists somewhere in the depths of the Network. However, there is one Duelist who stands against the threat to LINK VRAINS. His name is "Playmaker". He has become famous in the Network World for crushing the "Knights of Hanoi" in fierce Duels, without mentioning his name. But the true identity of "Playmaker" is ordinary high school student "Fujiki Yusaku", who pursues the "Knights of Hanoi" that appear in VRAINS in order to find out the truth of an incident that happened in the past.

21st Century Daredevil
The only man to tumble over the Horseshoe Falls, without barrel or other floatation device, and live, achieved infamy in 2003. Kirk Jones, of Canton, Michigan, had publicly stated beforehand that there was a spot at the top of the falls where a man could go over Niagara Falls and live. He apparently found that spot at 12:40 AM on October 22, 2003. Eyewitnesses to the stunt said they saw Jones, floating on his back in the Niagara River above the Horseshoe Falls. His claim to fame would send him plummeting 173 feet into the rapids below the falls and bring him safely ashore, 300 feet away.
A year later, Jones paid a visit to the American side of the falls to view the scene of his stunt. He recalled, "I hit the icy-cold water and it was an absolute shock to my system. Immediately, I was flying, 30 miles an hour, toward the brink of the falls. I heard my friend's voice, and I knew he was standing right near the edge, so I knew I was getting close." Jones said as he approached the brink of the falls, it was like being pulled into a whirlpool. "In a millisecond, I was just sucked right into the falls itself. I was, like, standing straight up, but I wasn't standing at all. I was being swallowed by a living beast." Jones said, "Instantly, I was hit with the rock-hard water of the gorge. I barrel rolled about 40 feet down. I felt my ears pop, and I was trapped down there with all of the falls on top of me." Jones said no matter how hard he tried to swim to the surface, for about 90 seconds he was unable to escape the churning foam. With water beginning to fill his lungs, Jones thought that Niagara had indeed beaten him. Then he suddenly bobbed to the surface, like a cork released under pressure and was able to cough up the water he had taken in.
For another ten minutes, Jones fought the currents in the gorge to reach land. He remembers tourists on board the Maid of the Mist as they shouted in amazement and took pictures to prove they were not imagining the sight. When he reached the Canadian shore, Jones crawled, exhausted, onto the rocks. His clothes soaked and ripped, he waited for help to arrive. The first to respond was Ontario police officer Kim Burton. She asked Jones if he had fallen in the lower river, and he responded no, and pointed to the top of the falls. She said in amazement, "you're under arrest." For his few minutes of fame, Jones learned that he could face a $10,000 fine and would be forbidden to enter Canada again.

Mei Xian Qiu
January 14-February 20, 2016
Reception: Saturday, January 16, 7-9pm
In the artists words:
"I started to think towards two divergent rivulets. One, the phrase "I love you" as used in daily parlance, aggressive, vulnerable, necessary, and common simultaneously, the most important frightening thing; it was also a gateway to what you, yes, as an individual with a perceived sense of identity, believe others want you to say to them; it was a qualifier to other more alluring and emotionally specific concerns. How do we trade in love, sex, happiness?"
An inspiration for the series had been "Le Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe" by Edouard Manet, depicting a nude woman at a picnic with 2 well dressed men. Painted in a rough, bold manner, this painting caused controversy in 1862 for its shocking and raw depiction of gender inequality, revealing the nude tantalizing figure as both a probable prostitute as well as an allegorical muse. Again, there is the study of contrasts -- the feminine versus the masculine, the naked versus the clothed, the elite versus the commonplace, and the innate aggression versus the vulnerability of the act of nudity itself.
Which led to secondly, maybe not so divergently, the fetishization and objectification of inspiration, of the muse, of all passion—the shattering, obvious, hard edge of this that tail gates easier romanticized views. The series, "I love you" examines the intersections of adoration and desperation, victim and aggressior, oppression and self oppression, globalism, even colonialization and provincialism."


Contact our general manager with any questions. Profile updated: December 19, 2018.
The second most popular industry for job placements was consulting with 20% of the class going there and recurring recruiting partners including the big three MBB firms as well as other leading firms like A.T. Kearney, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, and KPMG. Rounding out the top three for industries was financial services with 15% of the 2017 class going there. The top recruiters for finance grads include Amazon, Deutsche Bank, Merck & Company, Google, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. According to Rakas, Tepper's top three recruiters across all industries and functions are Amazon, Microsoft, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Not only do Tepper grads fare well in tech, consulting, and finance, but in take-home compensation as well. In the past several years, the median annual salary for Tepper MBAs has been on an incline: $113,000 in 2013 to an all-time median high of $120,000 in 2017.
Of course to earn such salaries, MBAs are gaining more than just analytical and leadership skills from the Tepper curriculum. The first year core focuses on the usual suspects of business fundamentals such as marketing, finance, accounting, and so on with advanced analytics and leadership coaching baked in.

Heading into year two of her Tepper MBA experience, Glass and fellow classmates will have a chance to dive deep into areas of interest to support their individual career goals. A myriad of electives (nearly 200), concentrations (12), and tracks (seven) are available for students' choosing.
"I am pursuing the Management of Innovation and Product Development track with concentrations in Business Technologies, Strategy, and Marketing," says Glass.
If it sounds like she's covering a lot of ground, that's because she is. A unique component of the Tepper MBA program is its mini-semester format which creates four 6.5-week mini-terms per academic year, essentially doubling the number of courses that students take each semester and a given year. This format quickens the pace of discovery, the school says, and allows its MBAs to make an immediate impact in their internships and careers.
"The track, concentrations, and ability to take classes across the entire CMU campus will prepare me for my internships and post-MBA career in Product Management within the tech industry," says Glass.
Tepper no longer publishes in its employment report its top employers, preferring to list all of the firms that made offers to students and/or have participated in recruiting events.
Requirements for getting into Tepper's MBA program include GMAT or GRE exam scores, undergraduate transcripts, resume, at least one letter of recommendation, an essay, and an interview. The interview is behavioral in nature, asking candidates to share perspectives and experiential insights on teamwork, leadership, success, and failure. In Tepper's most recent incoming class of 220 students, the incoming MBAs had an average GMAT score of 691, a 3.3 undergraduate GPA, and averaged 5.7 years of work experience. Once admitted, the cost for a Tepper MBA education will run students $66,852 a year, or $133,704 in total tuition and estimated fees.

Located in the gorgeous city of Salzburg Austria, the city is home to Mozart, Red Bull, Stiegl beer and my mom's favorite The Sound of Music.
The city is also home to one of the most successful ice hockey clubs in Austria, EC Red Bull Salzburg. If you didn't figure it out by the name, the club is operated by the Red Bull Energy drink empire. Resources are clearly not a problem and it reflects in both their product on the ice and the professionalism off it. These guys are the New York Yankees of the EBEL. They have the highest budget, attract the best players and are expected to win every year. Red Bulls presence can be felt throughout the entire league. Whether it's the tv contract with ServusTV or raising the quality of play in the league, Red Bull sets the standard for which the other EBEL clubs have to measure themselves against. They are 5 time EBEL champions (including last seasons title) and won the European Trophy in the 2011-2012 season. You can read a full history of hockey in Salzburg here as well as the history of how Red Bull took over the club here.
For all our Colorado College readers, this team is a must follow as they have featured former Tigers Lee Sweatt, Mike Boivin, Mark Cullen as well as Brett Sterling and Brian Connelly who are currently on the team. Also current Tiger assistant coach Gene Reilley used to work for the club before returning to North America. You can click here for the 2015-2016 Red Bull roster.

Scott Britton recently obtained a not guilty verdict on behalf of his construction company client in a trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County. The plaintiff alleged that he was assaulted by an employee of the Ford Britton client as the result of an altercation at a job site. Our attorneys were able to convince the jury that there was no agency between the company and the employee who committed the assault, and the jury also found that individual was not acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the occurrence. The plaintiff asked for $332,614 from the jury and was awarded $905 in a verdict against the codefendant, but a not guilty award was entered in favor of the construction company.


The list of The Seven Deadly Sins has existed for centuries and is used to teach people the reality of fallen humanity's nature to sin. Although the list is not directly taken from Scripture, the Bible has much to say about the danger and power of each of these sins in our lives. These are the ones buried under the surface, the ones we battle with at the heart level, the ones that can kill the life of grace and love that we are called to live.
In week six of our series, Grant Gaines talks about the pervasiveness of pride and its relationship to every other sin.

Steve Gunn's latest offering, The Unseen in Between, in some such way picks up where 2016's Eyes on the Lines left off.
While Gunn's work often touches on themes of discovery and wander, his new LP repositions him in a manner allowing him the chance to confront and reflect what he's been searching for. Within its nine tracks, Gunn addresses matters of death, acceptance, and expectations, all of which round his music with serenity and credence, thus positioning him on the forefront not only as a quintessential narrator for our time, but a faithful guide who gently directs us revitalized and untroubled.
Within our arduous journey to seize a voice that has the ability to stabilize us is a feat all in itself. We seek those who resonate with relatability and depth; we also desire safeguards to hold close as intimate keepsakes through our own personal mania as we attempt to acquire that asylum for ourselves. Gunn's music and perspective in every such way offers the ability to cure us from those demons and uncertainty. In his composed, unfeigned demeanor from his attributed folk-rock styling to his ability to capture a story, Unseen... serves as an exemplary marker allowing us the needed opportunity to exhale.
One of, if not the most heartfelt takeaways from Unseen... is "Stonehurst Cowboy" – a track dedicated to Gunn's late father who tragically passed after a two-year battle with cancer two weeks after the release of Eyes on the Lines. It's an impassioned track highlighting Gunn's shrewdness as a musician – a guitar and a voice, reminding us what sparseness in music can achieve under his watch. In its fervent display, it's not just about a father, but rather a rekindling of a father and son who became even better friends. But even coming to terms with confronting the grief and distress from losing a parent, Gunn's unwavering diplomacy shines – admirable and certainly a quality we all aspire to obtain, even if just a fraction, but it's one Gunn was naturally born with and that wisdom is laced throughout his work.
You can pinpoint similar moments throughout Unseen... – "New Moon" was our first taste. Gunn begins: "I see a glimmer / Across the wall through the mirror / Out past the streets beyond the weather / To that place no one seems to know" – here, he embraces the imagery of light and reflection and even seems familiar with the unknown place he speaks of, likely having been there himself. "Vagabond", a rich latticework of pedal steel and upbeat rollick find Gunn and guest vocalist, Meg Baird in a deep muse, both attempting to redefine ideologies in helping others find their solace in their existence.
But while the theme of the "nurturer" is scattered throughout Unseen... – whether it's up close or from afar, Gunn is held as a definitive, selfless figure in that sense. This, too, is seen on "Luciano" – a tender track not just about the bond between a bodega owner and his cat, but it's more so Gunn's concern about the well-being of the owner once the cat is no longer with him. It's a devastatingly earnest sentiment showing how fleeting existence can be and how severe and irreparable one can feel with the loss of an animal. While Unseen portrays Gunn as a caretaker of sorts, it's an LP that continues to uphold his pronounced style we've come to cherish over time.
"New Familiar" is a slow-burning testament to the fears and unpredictability of political climate while the confessional allure of "Morning Is Mended" calls to mind folk legend, John Fahey. "Lightning Field" pays homage to artist, Walter De Maria. His piece, "The Lightning Field" is a land-art installation comprised of exactly 400 stainless steel poles inserted into the high desert ground in Catron County, New Mexico. It's a visual phenomenon that visitors flock to in hope of seeing a dazzling spectacle of lightning striking the beams during a storm. In its mystifying lure, Gunn's interpretation shows how despite the piece's appeal, expectations can be transient or even non-existent – the storm may redirect or dissipate before reaching the peak, forcing the onlookers to seize new ways of interpreting their surroundings and experience.
Album closer and Black Sabbath-inspired "Paranoid" sends us off. In all its balladry, it sways steadily with church bells chiming before gently cascading into silence. Within Unseen...'s jam-induced moments to its heartfelt odes, Gunn gives us something to cherish and it's of paramount importance the lesson we take from him: despite not necessarily having the answers to these looming questions and concerns that come and go on Unseen... that confront topics of loss and one's existence, the upshot is more so Gunn's acknowledgment of them. It's the reality that we attempt to ground ourselves with the complacency he projects. With that gentle nudge on Gunn's behalf, he manages to bring us back, humanizing our perspectives hopefully more than before.


The course takes the approach of building a comprehensive environmental health and safety (EHS) program from the bottom up. The focus is on enhancing EHS management skills to ensure effective implementation of the program. The management strategies emphasized, when applied, can minimize the risks and liability inherent in operating buildings and the equipment in them.
Stay on top of developments regarding EPA, OSHA, CERCLA, SARA, ADA, and other government entities and regulations.
Students in the course will engage in a case study and interactive problem-solving activities designed to assist them in mastering key learning concepts. In the classroom, students will collaborate with their peers on how to develop and manage a proactive EHS program.
"The combination of advanced competencies offered in this new edition ensures managers thoroughly understand all regulations impacting themselves, their organizations, and the buildings/facilities they manage so they can execute a proper environmental health and safety program and succeed in avoiding costly litigation for noncompliance," said Jeffrey Horn, president and CEO of BOMI International.
Environmental Health and Safety Issues is a required course in BOMI International's Real Property Administrator (RPA®), Facilities Management Administrator (FMA®), and Systems Maintenance Administrator (SMA®) designation programs. The course may also be used to earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points for those in the industry.

Mark Misrok addresses employment and HIV.
July 1, 2019 • By Alicia Green
When he tested positive in 1989, Mark Misrok didn't expect to live a full life or have a career.
"I spent many years just taking jobs that helped me survive and that I coped with," explains Misrok, an HIV advocate who now lives in New York City. One of those jobs was driving a cab in San Francisco.
After several years, though, Misrok wanted to transition to another occupation but felt trapped by a lack of skills and valuable experience.
So in 1992, he visited San Francisco's Positive Resource Center (PRC), which had an employment services program for people living with HIV.
Misrok started out at PRC as a client but soon became a volunteer. Three years later, he was hired as director of that employment program, a position he held until 2007.
With the introduction of protease inhibitors in the late 1990s, people with HIV began to feel healthy enough to return to work. As a result, the program expanded to address a broader range of employment needs.
"Across all those years, it was a very powerful experience for me to work one-on-one with almost 2,000 people seeking a range of employment assistance," Misrok says.
In 2003, Misrok connected with a group of advocates focused on strengthening responses to the employment needs of people with HIV across the United States. Together, they formed the National Working Positive Coalition (NWPC).
He served as president of NWPC's board of directors for 14 years before becoming executive director last year. "I have helped lead their advocacy, research and capacity-building activities across most of the history of the organization," he says.
The coalition's current projects include working with two HIV groups on a three-year grant that focuses on the employment needs and strategies of people with HIV over 50 and collaborating with the Southern University at Baton Rouge in Louisiana to improve responses to the employment needs of African Americans with HIV in the area.
On September 18, the coalition is partnering with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and community members to present Career Power Source 2019. (To register, click here.)
The event is the "largest-ever daylong employment conference for people living with or at greater risk for HIV," according to Misrok. It will feature workshops, résumé development, headshot photography, career coaching and more.
Misrok's goal is to help people with HIV make well-informed and self-determined decisions about employment and understand the range of opportunities they can pursue.
"Too many of us have been or felt trapped in poverty because of living with HIV," Misrok explains. "Access to the information, services and resources that can broaden our options must be made available to us."

BASF unveils process for climate-friendly methanol
With the help of BASF's OASE gas treatment technology, no carbon dioxide should be emitted during the entire production process
Aspects of the new CO2 emission-free methanol synthesis process were tested in a pilot plant at BASF's subsidiary hte GmbH in Heidelberg, Germany. Project manager Dr Maximilian Vicari and hte expert Dr Nakul Thakar have solved challenges that arose during the activation of the catalyst and the operation of the plant.
The production processes of the most important basic chemicals are responsible for around 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical industry. BASF experts are working intensely on new technologies to substantially reduce emissions in these processes. The company has bundled all of this work under the roof of its ambitious Carbon Management Programme.
One of the first visible successes in this area has been achieved by a project team which has applied to patent a process to produce methanol without any greenhouse gas emissions. If it can be successfully implemented at an industrial scale, the entire production process – from syngas production to pure methanol – will no longer release any carbon dioxide emissions.
Typically, methanol is made from syngas, which until now has been primarily obtained from natural gas via a combination of steam and autothermal reforming. Using special catalysts, this can then be turned into crude methanol, which can be further processed after purification.
BASF selects Emerson to enhance flexibility and production at German chemical plant
BASF retains title as world's most valuable chemicals brand
BASF names Udo Huenger as vice president for Middle East and Egypt operations
In the new BASF process, the syngas is generated by partial oxidation of natural gas, which does not cause any carbon dioxide emissions and has proven to be advantageous in a study jointly conducted with Linde Engineering. The subsequent process steps – methanol synthesis and distillation – can be carried out nearly unchanged.
Ingenuity was required to address the merging and processing of the waste gas streams that arise during methanol synthesis and distillation and which cannot be avoided even with optimal process management. These waste gas streams consisting of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen are incinerated in an Oxyfuel process with pure oxygen. This results in a small volume of flue gas with a maximum carbon dioxide content.
The flue gas is then scrubbed using BASF's proven OASE process for full recovery of the carbon dioxide. To ensure that the carbon contained in the carbon dioxide is not lost and that it can be used again for methanol synthesis, the captured carbon dioxide is fed back into the beginning of the process. This does, however, require additional hydrogen, which BASF also aims to produce without any carbon dioxide emissions, for example, via methane pyrolysis, which is also being developed in the Carbon Management research programme.
"We are optimistic that our climate-friendly approach will better adapt methanol synthesis to the requirements of the 21st century," said project manager Dr Maximilian Vicari from BASF's intermediates division.
"Nearly 100 years after the first industrial-scale production of this important basic chemical using BASF's high-pressure process, we are now taking a leading role in writing the newest chapter in the history of methanol." Dr Vicari expects it will be around 10 years before this new process is carried out in an industrial-scale plant.
The basic chemical methanol is an important starting material for many products in different BASF value chains. Derived products such as formaldehyde, acetic acid and methylamines are very important in terms of volume. Other important derivatives include methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl methacrylate, polyalcohols and silicones. Methanol also serves as an energy supplier and can be used as a raw material for chemical conversion into other fuels, or fuel additives.

Don't expect to see Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds's kids on the big screen anytime soon. The Deadpool actor was honored with the 36th American Cinematheque Award on Thursday, Nov. 17, and admitted he and Lively are in no rush to see their kids follow in their movie-star footsteps.
"Putting a kid in a business like this, it's generally not about the kid," Reynolds told People at the event. "It's usually about the parents."
The pair, who married in 2012, have three daughters: James, age 7, Inez, age 6, and Betty, age 3. While appearing at the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women's Summit in September, Lively shared that she's pregnant with their fourth child, whom Reynolds is hoping is another girl.

Although Reynolds won't be enrolling his kids in acting lessons, he's "excited" to see where their passions and interests take them.
"When they're older, they can do whatever the hell they want. I am very excited for that," he said. "Our job is to foster as much interest in as many different things as possible at this point."
The beloved actor was celebrated by his peers Thursday night in Beverly Hills. Taking the stage to celebrate her husband's prestigious accomplishment, Lively took a moment to recognize Reynolds's "stunning qualities…from his homeland" such as his "heart, his philanthropy, his humor, his integrity, his unmatched work ethic," per The Hollywood Reporter.
"And giving back to the country that gave him his life is critical to who he is as a person," Lively said of her Canadian-born partner.
"And now I am his home and our girls are his home," she continued. The Age of Adaline actress went on to list all the ways Reynolds is "hardwired to get home" and be with his family.
"If he came home from set not in his wardrobe, we would be very concerned. Soaked in mud, fake blood, real blood, prosthetic scars, superhero suits, tap shoes or clown makeup, daddy always comes home," Lively said.
Only time will tell if Lively and Reynolds have an acting prodigy on their hands, but for their daughters, they have all the support in the world from mom and dad.
