Mom on a Mission
By Susan Schindehette
Three years ago, at the age of 48, Leslie Hawke had one great source of pride: her actor son Ethan, married to actress Uma Thurman and a young father himself. Beyond that, Leslie—twice divorced, dissatisfied with a long—running romance and bored with her job as a Manhattan Internet publishing executive-felt she didn't have much to brag about. Then, on the morning of July 17,1999, news of the tragic plane crash in which John F. Kennedy Jr. died prompted her to take stock of her situation, and the idea of the Peace Corps popped into her head. "I just wanted to get out of my life," she says. "And that sounded like a good way to do it."
Six months later she was on a flight to Romania as a volunteer, with little idea of what she was getting into. "One of our first discussions," says her close friend Wendy Phillips Kahn, "was, 'Is it Rumania or Romania?' We didn't even know."
Today, Hawke can not only pronounce the name of the former communist nation—one of the poorest in Eastern Europe—she has dedicated her life to it. Living on her savings and her $180-a-month Peace Corps salary in the industrial city of Bacau (pop. 250,000), she is director of Ready, Willing & Able, a program that gets beggar children off the streets by providing training and jobs for their struggling mothers. "So many people talk about wanting to make some kind of dramatic change in life," says Ethan, 31, who saw her operation firsthand during a visit in November 2000. "But she actually did it. Personally, I think she's an inspiration."
Hawke's transformation began soon after her initial assignment to a local nonprofit group, the Community Support Foundation, when she noticed a barefoot boy, about 8 years old, across from her apartment. "He was all by himself," she recalls, "begging at car windows on his tiptoes." She brought him Oreos and a pair of sneakers and persuaded him to go with her to a children's shelter. Once there, "he got the same look that American kids have the first time they walk into Disney World," she says. But three days later the boy's mother arrived and furiously accused the shelter staff of depriving her family of its livelihood: "How are the rest of my kids supposed to eat? There are lots of kids on the street. Go pick on someone else's."
A chastened Hawke soon learned that most of the city's street kids, though illiterate and unschooled, were neither orphans nor homeless. Instead, in a country where the average income is about $1,500 a year—and demoralized fathers often abandon their families or fall prey to alcoholism—many such children are their family's only source of cash. "They make more money than their parents, even if the parents can find a job," says Hawke. The problem is most pervasive among Gypsies, the poorest of Romania's minority groups. "Their status is about the same as that of blacks in the U.S. around 1950," says Hawke. "There's enormous discrimination. People are afraid to hire them."
Hawke also learned that some of these child beggars eventually run away from home and wind up living in the subways and sewers of Bucharest, the capital, where they turn to glue sniffing and crime. A board member of the Manhattan-based Doe Fund, she decided to open a Bacau chapter of one of the charitable organization's most successful programs: Ready, Willing & Able, which puts New York City's homeless to work cleaning streets. It opened in September 2001 with $62,000 in seed money from the U.S. Agency for International Development as well as donations from corporations and her movie-star son.
Today, Hawke's eight-person staff, aided by volunteers, offers mothers three-month training programs for jobs ranging from housecleaning to elder care, $75 monthly stipends and eventual apprenticeship placements. RWA also offers their children remedial classes in reading, writing and math. In addition, Hawke has founded a private school for middle-class kindergartners and first graders, the American Learning Center, which provides an alternative to local schools for $60 a month.
Among the program's beneficiaries—50 children and 30 mothers—is Anica Borcea, 39, an illiterate former street cleaner who now works as a hygiene assistant, giving students (including four of her own eight children) showers when they arrive at a local public school. RWA "is doing a lot of good," says Borcea, whose kids no longer need to panhandle. "My children are going to school now. I am happy."
Despite RWA's growing reputation, Hawke still has to work at recruiting clients, as she did on a May morning at a squalid Gypsy community on the outskirts of town. While children played in piles of garbage, Hawke visited the parents of 10-year-old habitual truant Elvis, whose parents were both unemployed. In the converted garage that is the family's home, Hawke, using her rudimentary Romanian and a translator, told the couple about her services. As Hawke left, the boy's mother kissed her hand in gratitude.
At Hawke's next stop, Ionela Popa, 19, whose common-law husband was in jail—leaving her to care for her 3-year-old son—needed no persuading. "I'm young; I want to work," she said. Hawke turned to the translator and replied, "Tell her we can get her something this summer."
Tough challenges and faraway locales have long attracted Hawke, who grew up in Texas as the daughter of a local politician who became a county judge. "I always felt out of place," she says. "From the time I can remember, I wanted to go someplace else." In 1974 Hawke was divorced from her first husband (Ethan's father), insurance actuary Jim Hawke, and in 1992 from her second, management consultant Patrick Powers. Four years later she settled in New York City and took a string of jobs in education, the nonprofit sector and Internet publishing before signing up for her Peace Corps stint.
Planning to stay in Romania indefinitely, Hawke keeps in touch with her family mainly by e-mail. "Ethan told me, 'You don't have to freeze over there, Mom,'" she says. "'Let me know if you need extra heaters.'" For her first Christmas she was expecting a suitcase full of long Johns—and was surprised when daughter-in-law Uma sent a red Gucci cocktail dress instead. Reports Hawke, who wears the gown to local parties: "She said, 'We don't want you to lose touch with that side of yourself.'"
These days, though, Hawke's gratification tends to come from simpler things, such as the weekly meeting of her client mothers, who gather to provide mutual support. Recently, Popa attended for the first time and got an earful of advice. "You have to follow the program, be patient and trust the group, like sisters," said Floarea Chiperi, 42, a mother of 11. "And respect your job, whatever it is."
The results, promised Maria Doloman, 50, would be worth the effort. A single mother of nine and former laborer in a shoe factory, Doloman now works as an orderly in a home for young mothers. "If you are sad, you will be happy," she assured Popa. "Your life will change."

Q: How to rename multiple files every day I am trying to rename multiple files with a bat file.
i use the below code and works fine.
for %%a in (*.csv) do ren "%%~a" "%%~na Sea %%~xa"

Although the problem is that the script will run every day and will gradually add multiple times the word "Sea"

I.E

First Day

File name = "ho.csv"
Script runs the first day and the output is : "ho Sea .csv"

Second day
File name "ho Sea .csv", "Go.csv"
Script runs the second day and the output is : "ho Sea  Sea .csv", "Go Sea .csv"

I am not so experienced but most probable the solution would be easy something like an if to check the existing name...
Do you have any solution to propose regarding this?
Also is there any way to make the script run every day in a specific time?
Thank you in advance!!!

A: Try to replace your current command with :
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b ^| findstr /V ".*Sea\.csv"') do ren "%%~a" "%%~na Sea %%~xa"

A: The solution to your specific issue, is to exclude file basenames which already end with the string  Sea from being passed to the Do portion of your for-loop. To do that, the simplest way would be to pipe the command through findstr.exe.
@For /F Delims^= %%G In ('Dir /B /A:-D *.csv ^| %__AppDir__%findstr.exe /EILV " Sea.csv"') Do @Ren "%%G" "%%~nG Sea%%~xG"

However, using Dir can be problematic, due to the 'on by default' 8.3 file names. What this means is that the glob *.csv will match file extensions beginning with the case insensitive string .csv, not those which exactly match that case insensitive string. Whilst it may be unlikely that you will have other extensions beginning with .csv, I have seen .csvt files before. For safety therefore you should pipe the Dir results through another findstr to filter to only .csv first:
@For /F Delims^= %%G In ('"Dir /B /A:-D *.csv | %__AppDir__%findstr.exe /EIL ".csv" | %__AppDir__%findstr.exe /EILV " Sea.csv""') Do @Ren "%%G" "%%~nG Sea%%~xG"

To ignore 8.3 naming you could instead use the where command, (windows-vista and newer). However, where.exe has an additional potential issue, in that it will also match .csv.ext, where .ext will be each of those listed in the value of %PATHEXT% variable for the current environment. In order to prevent that you need to empty the %PATHEXT% variable, for that particular environment:
@For /F Delims^= %%G In ('"(Set PATHEXT=) & %__AppDir__%where.exe .:*.csv 2> NUL | %__AppDir__%findstr.exe /EILV " Sea.csv""') Do @Ren "%%G" "%%~nG Sea%%~xG"

I will, therefore, urge you to use either of the two lower examples, and not the version at the top of this answer.

A: The easiest way to do this would be with PowerShell. If you are on a supported Windows system. PowerShell will be available. When you are confident that the files will be renamed correctly, remove the -WhatIf from the Rename-Item command.
Get-ChildItem -File -Path 'C:\src\t' |
    Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch ' Sea\.' } |
        ForEach-Object {
            Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName $($_.BaseName + ' Sea' + $_.Extension) -WhatIf
        }

This code does not do anything if there is a name conflict. For example, on day 1 a t.txt file is renamed as t Sea.txt. If another t.txt file is placed into the directory on day 2, it cannot be renamed t Sea.txt because that file already exists.

The German state of Rhineland-Palatinate sold its 82.5% stake in Hahn Airport (HHN) to China's aviation and travel conglomerate HNA Group for €15.1 million.
According to a report in CargoForwarder, the financial transaction has been completed, and the final contract will be signed on 1 March. The fate of the remaining 17.5% stake, currently held by the state of Hesse, has not been announced, but it may go to HNA's partner in the bid, Germany-based ADC GmbH.
The sale will come as a relief to both the airport and the airlines that use it, because for the last few months it appeared there was a chance HHN might simply be closed. A previous attempt to sell it ended in embarrassing failure when the chosen buyer, Shanghai Yiqian Trading Company, turned out not to have permission from the Chinese government to make the purchase.
Hahn Airport is important to the air freight industry because, unlike nearby Frankfurt International (FRA), it offers 24-hour operation – sometimes critical for freighter operation. At present, Etihad Airways, Nippon Cargo Airlines, Silk Way West, and Yangtze River Airlines all operate freighters at HHN, and HNA has said it plans to add three new weekly freighter frequencies. Since HNA owns Yangtze River Airlines, it seems likely that the new frequencies will involve Yangtze River's 747-400BDSFs, but that remains to be seen.


KARACHI, Oct 28: A huge fire in the century-old Radio Pakistan building on M. A. Jinnah Road gutted all the 14 studios and destroyed equipment and archival material worth millions of rupees, including instruments used since the first day of its broadcast operations.
The fire, which broke out at 11.30am in Studio Eight of the building's first floor, rapidly spread through the mostly wooden structure and caused panic among the children taking part in a flagship programme of the Karachi station 'Bachon Ki Dunya'. They were evacuated before the fire department's operation began.
Officials said it took more than three hours to control the spreading fire and the ancient structure made the job a little harder as the firefighters took extra care to prevent further losses during the operation.
The fire forced suspension of the radio broadcast for a couple of hours, which was later resumed through the standby transmitters.
"Our 15 fire tenders took part in the firefighting operation. The tenders were assisted by almost a dozen water takers and fire tenders of the KPT (Karachi Port Trust) and the DHA (Defence Housing Authority)," said Chief Fire Officer Ehtishamuddin, who led the operation.
He said the cause of the fire had not been determined but suspected that it might be the result of an electric short-circuit or a serious human error. Though, he said, the fire caused serious losses to the equipment, it could not damage the building in a big way because of its better architecture and well-planned construction.
"By the end of our operation the first floor of the building was almost gutted but we succeeded in keeping the fire confined to the first floor till finish," he added.
Hundreds of people had gathered outside the historical building, which was enveloped in huge columns of black smoke. Later, the area police took the charge and drove the spectators, gathered at the gate of the building, to the main M. A. Jinnah Road to ensure smooth movement of the fire tenders.
The historical building has housed the Radio Pakistan Karachi Station since 1949, when it was shifted here from the Intelligence School on Queens Road (now M.T. Khan Road) after a year of its broadcast operations.
In 1949, the building was owned by a local government body and was later acquired by the Pakistan Broadcast Corporation.
Sources in Radio Pakistan said the fire damaged almost all the 14 studios on the first floor of the two-storey building and burnt dozens of archival pieces, including musical and broadcast equipment preserved as relics of the past.
He said the administration was assessing the losses caused by the fire but initial findings suggested the losses would be worth more than Rs20 million.
The celebrated Studio-9, which had produced several mega-hit radio series, was also destroyed in the fire while huge facilities such as 14, B-2 and B-6, which used to host musical programmes and quiz shows, where people could attend such productions and participate live, were no more after the fire swept through the building.
A chair belonging to Z.A. Bukhari, the first Radio Pakistan director-general, which was also presented as an honour to sit in to different dignitaries visiting the historical building, was also among the destroyed relics.
Iqbal Faridi, station director of Radio Pakistan Karachi, said the losses were worth millions of rupees but a committee to be formed by the Pakistan Broadcast Corporation would determine both the value of the losses and the cause of the fire.
Ronaq Hayat, deputy controlling engineer of Radio Pakistan, did not see the studios destroyed by the fire getting back to operations in the near future.
The incident also sent shockwaves up to Islamabad, where the DG of the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation, Javed Akhtar, flew in here in the evening.
"The DG is likely to hold a meeting with the Karachi station officials on late Sunday evening, where he may constitute an inquiry committee for the losses' assessment and the cause of the fire," said the source.


Hot Bananas is the name of a group of joyful souls that get together every Wednesday evening just for the sheer pleasure of singing! The ethos of the Hot Bananas is that the success of the group is measured on the amount of laughter that goes on during a practice session, and the rate of the 'high' they take home with them after an evening of singing together.
The Hot Bananas started 'just for fun' in 2011 with just 15 people who all enjoyed singing but didn't want the pressure of conforming to a 'serious' choir or choral group. They wanted the emphasis to be on having fun, forgetting about being 'good enough' or technically 'right' and just allowing their voices to soar free without self-consciousness or the pressure of being judged. As an amateur group, no thought was given to performing for the public but here they are, almost 7 years later and with now over 100 Hot Bananas making up the total group, regularly being invited to perform at various events throughout the island – usually in support of various local charities, and they relish doing so. Hot Bananas are this year supporting 'Brightly' (formerly known as Brig-y-Don) –a charity that supports vulnerable children and young people in Jersey.

Exiles: A Critical Edition
James Joyce, Edited by A. Nicholas Fargnoli and Michael Patrick Gillespie
Confronting a host of assumptions, misprisions, and prejudices, A. Nicholas Fargnoli and Michael Patrick Gillespie contend that Joyce's play, Exiles, deserves the same serious study as his fiction and stands on the cutting edge of modern drama.
Paleoindian Societies of the Coastal Southeast
James S. Dunbar
The late Pleistocene-early Holocene landscape hosted more species and greater numbers of them in the Southeast compared to any other region in North America at that time. Yet James Dunbar posits that a misguided reliance on using Old World origins to validate New World evidence has stalled research in this area. Rejecting the one-size-fits-all approach to Pleistocene archaeological sites, Dunbar analyzes five areas of contextual data--stratigraphy; chronology; paleoclimate; the combined consideration of habitat, resource availability, and subsistence; and artifacts and technology--to resolve unanswered questions surrounding the Paleoindian occupation of the Americas.
The Archaeology of the Cold War
Todd A. Hanson
The Cold War was one of the twentieth century's defining events, with long-lasting political, social, and material implications. It created a global landscape of culturally and politically significant artifacts and sites that are critical to understanding and preserving the history of that conflict. The stories of these artifacts and sites remain mostly untold, however, because so many of the facilities operated in secret.
The Liberal Consensus Reconsidered: American Politics and Society in the Postwar Era
Edited by Robert Mason and Iwan Morgan
Here, leading scholars--including Hodgson himself--confront the longstanding theory that a liberal consensus shaped the United States after World War II. The essays draw on fresh research to examine how the consensus related to key policy areas, how it was viewed by different factions and groups, what its limitations were, and why it fell apart in the late 1960s.
A Curious Peril: H.D.'s Late Modernist Prose
Lara Vetter
Pub Date: 10/8/2019
A Curious Peril examines the prose penned by modernist writer H.D. in the aftermath of World War II, a little-known body of work that has been neglected by scholars, and argues that the trauma H.D. experienced in London during the war profoundly changed her writing. Lara Vetter reveals a shift in these writings from classical "escapist" settings to politically aware explorations of gender, spirituality, nation, and imperialism.
Maya E Groups: Calendars, Astronomy, and Urbanism in the Early Lowlands
Edited by David A. Freidel, Arlen F. Chase, Anne S. Dowd, and Jerry Murdock
Hardcover: $125.00
This volume presents new archaeological data to reveal that E Groups were constructed earlier than previously thought. In fact, they are the earliest identifiable architectural plan at many Maya settlements.
The Archaeology of American Mining
Paul J. White
Synthesizing fifty years of research on American mining sites that date from colonial times to the present, Paul White provides an ideal overview of the field for both students and professionals.
Mississippian Beginnings
Edited by Gregory D. Wilson
Using fresh evidence and nontraditional ideas, the contributing authors of Mississippian Beginnings reconsider the origins of the Mississippian culture of the North American Midwest and Southeast (A.D. 1000-1600). Challenging the decades-old opinion that this culture evolved similarly across isolated Woodland populations, they discuss signs of migrations, pilgrimages, violent conflicts, and other far-flung entanglements that now appear to have shaped the early Mississippian past.
Joyce and the Law
Edited by Jonathan Goldman
Making the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce's life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce's most important texts. They analyze Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake in light of the legal contexts of Joyce's day.

Y People – a charity providing a range of support services to vulnerable people acrossScotland. We will be working with two schemes run by Y People in Glasgow and South Lanarkshire, which provide a rent deposit guarantee for people who are at risk of homelessness, but are unable to access housing in the private rented sector because they have no savings for a deposit. The schemes provide support to tenants during the first year of their tenancy, helping them to maintain their tenancy and build up savings for the deposit.


Of the many requests I receive for help from business owners throughout the country, one plea stands out above all the rest — Find Me A Leader!
Unfortunately, the heart of that request lies in their desire to recruit an individual with the requisite management and leadership skills to move their company forward in a competitive marketplace.
And while I agree to help them find an effective leader, I do it with a caveat. The leader that I help them find has to be exceptional at developing other leaders within the company, embracing the reality that leadership is a shared talent.
One of the reasons DISMAL happens in any company is that a pompous, autocratic, narcissist assumes that he or she is the reason for all corporate achievement. C'mon —it's the 21st century. We all know better, don't we?

Q: Apps Script: force blur on editing cell to save its content This is my scenario:

*

*1 cell: A1 where you can input some text

*1 image / drawing:  when it is clicked a script function is called

The problem is that the script attempts to read A1 content, but if you was editing it, its content is not updated until you manually click in another cell (so if you click directly on the image right after editing A1, the script will read the previously stored A1 value)
The problem is that clicking in the image doesn't trigger a blur event on A1, so the content is not stored if you was editing it. I would like to know how to force blur / save / stop editing a cell using Apps Script, so I can be sure that the retrieved value is the one that you just entered.  I've tried selecting another active range but it doesn't help.
Thank you.

A: I use this workaround, in Google Sheets, to return the focus to a cell after clicking on a button that has a function associated with it (I use the programmatic opening of the sidebar and its immediate closure):
main.gs
function inserisciNuovaRiga() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
  sheet.insertRowBefore(2);
  showSidebar();
  var range = sheet.getRange("A2");
  sheet.setActiveRange(range);
}

function showSidebar() {
  var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('sidebar');
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showSidebar(html);
}

sidebar.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <base target="_top">
  </head>
  <body onload="google.script.host.close();">

  </body>
</html>

You can find more info here (use translator, the tutorial is in italian languange):
http://www.appsscript.it/tutorial/google-apps-script-eseguire-una-funzione-al-click-su-un-bottone-in-uno-spreadsheet-e-far-tornare-il-focus-su-un-cella/
In the case of the example of the article, after clicking on the button, the code inserts a new line and returns the focus to its first cell ready to write, but simply adapt it to your needs.

A: Hopefully this helps someone facing this issue. I have had this problem with many sheets I build for clients. So many different users means at least some people don't understand that while editing a cell, you have not actually entered anything. So, I've had to build in different solutions. My favorite three are the following:
1 - I add a checkbox somewhere, and instruct people to check it before saving. The checks if the checkbox is checked, and throws an error message to the user if not. Once it is, the script runs and clears the checkbox.
2 - If the cell in question is empty before someone enters something, then I like this one: The script checks if the cell is blank. If it is, it throws an error message, but something fun like, "Looks like you were still editing. All fixed now! You can run the script again." Throwing the error makes them click "dismiss" or "ok" and this completes the edit on the cell they were editing, so on the next run, it will be fine.
3 - In some cases, it proves better to automate the script on edits. The onEdit script checks if the target cell was modified, and then runs only if it was. So, people don't need to click buttons anymore, it just runs when it's ready.
Another option you could consider is to have the button appear only when the cell has been edited. But that is a bit more "active" than I usually want a script to be.
Bottom line though, this is an unfortunate problem, but after years of writing scripts, I have never found a clean solution to just force the completion of the edited cell before running the script.
EDIT: I should've added, you can use the msgBox trick as part of the script as well. You can pop-up the msgBox and only continue the script after the user clicks "ok" or whatever button you add. You can just add some text there like, "Ready to run, click ok to continue" or something similar ;)

Sebastian Siebrecht (ur. 16 kwietnia 1973 w Herdecke) – niemiecki szachista, arcymistrz od 2008 roku.

Kariera szachowa
W szachy gra od 11. roku życia. Czterokrotnie (1994, 1995, 1997, 2000) zwyciężał w mistrzostwach Nadrenii Północnej-Westfalii. W 1996 r. zajął I m. w turnieju ZSG/Computerij w Holandii, natomiast w 2001 r. zwyciężył w Naujac-sur-Mer (z wynikiem 9 pkt. w 9 partiach), a w 2004 r. – w Gausdal (turniej Gausdal Classics 2004 IM/B), Cala Millor (turniej 1. Son Servera International ) oraz w Lippstadt (wspólnie z Marco Thiniusem). W tym samym roku na turnieju w Bad Wiessee wypełnił pierwszą normę na tytuł arcymistrza. W 2005 r. odniósł jeden z największych indywidualnych sukcesów w karierze, dzieląc I m. (wspólnie z Zhangiem Pengxiangiem) w Bad Wörishofen. Oprócz tego, w kolejnym turnieju w Gausdal (Gausdal Classics 2005 IM B) zajął II m. (za Krzysztof Jakubowski (szachista)Krzysztofem Jakubowskim). W 2006 r. zwyciężył w otwartych mistrzostwach Solingen, w 2007 r. podzielił III m. (za Władimirem Burmakinem i Miso Cebalo, wspólnie z m.in. Jacobem Aagaardem, Alberto Davidem, Siergiejem Tiwiakowem i Władimirem Jepiszynem) w Bratto, zdobywając drugą normę arcymistrzowską. W tym samym roku na turnieju w Differdange i mistrzostwach Europy w Dreźnie był bliski wypełnienia trzeciej, ostatniej wymaganej normy na tytuł arcymistrza (w obu turniejach zabrakło mu po pół punktu), jednakże wyniki te zostały zaliczone (wraz z rezultatem z Bad Wörishofen z 2005 r., gdzie przeszkodą w zaliczeniu normy był zbyt niski średni ranking przeciwników) i w 2008 r. otrzymał ten tytuł.

Najwyższy ranking w dotychczasowej karierze osiągnął 1 kwietnia 2008 r., z wynikiem 2490 punktów zajmował wówczas 56. miejsce wśród niemieckich szachistów. Jest jednym z nielicznych arcymistrzów na świecie, który otrzymał ten tytuł nie osiągając na żadnej oficjalnej liście rankingowej FIDE poziomu min. 2500 punktów, który jest wymagany do jego nadania. Stało się to dzięki przepisowi, który umożliwia wirtualne zliczanie aktualnie posiadanego rankingu po każdej rozegranej partii. Tym sposobem, w dniu 22 czerwca 2005 r. po V rundzie mistrzostw Europy w Warszawie, jego punktacja osiągnęła wartość 2510 (2487 + 4 pkt. w Utrechcie + 19 pkt. w Warszawie).

The Pennsylvania Hemp Summit Returns for 2022
Imagine walking into a convention center, bustling with investors, various companies, legislators, and researchers, with ample business opportunities at your fingertips. This is the experience of the attendees at The Pennsylvania Hemp Summit. The annual summit is held by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Team Pennsylvania, an economic development non-profit that is highly interested in the economic potential of industrial hemp for the commonwealth. Kelly Kundratic, who works for Team Pennsylvania, gave an interview with the PA Hemp Steering Committee addressing the 2021 virtual PA Hemp Summit and the plans for the 2022 summit.
The Pennsylvania Hemp Summit provides educational information to its attendees to increase the shared knowledge on industrial hemp, the industry's future, and economic potential. The aim is to create a space where professionals can discuss
innovative solutions to the industry's struggles and to increase investments and
partnerships within the industry. Attendees of all knowledge levels are welcome. Kelly describes the summit as, "...driving the industry forward out of a recognition that there really wasn't a space for this type of state and regional-level collaborative discussion before." She mentioned that their first summit was held in person in 2019, and it was very successful. They planned for four hundred attendees, but when those tickets sold out quickly, they expanded to their limit which ended up being six-hundred plus attendees.
In 2021 due to COVID-19, the summit was moved to a virtual format. There were five informational sessions. According to Kundratic, the hemp-derived THC session, "...was probably one of our most popular sessions because the guidance around Delta-9 (THC) is not really strong at the federal level at this point. There's a lot of waiting on what's going on with regulation and enforcement of hemp-derived THC, though it is prolific in the market." The session featured physician Dr. Sherry Blumenthal, Kay Doyle who works closely with the policy side of the hemp industry, and EmmaRose Strohl, a PA lawyer from the firm Barley Snyder.
The PA Hemp Summit in April 2022 is a continuation of the 2021 virtual convention. The components of the summit that were too difficult to replicate virtually are being held in person April 26th and 27th, 2022. These components include the tradeshow, the reception, and a new addition to the summit which is a "Shark Tank"-style Investor Pitch competition. The pitch competition is currently accepting applications until 11:59PM ET February 25th, 2022 in either of their two categories; innovative hemp products and innovative hemp concepts.
Kundratic explained that the innovative hemp concept category is, "...a solution or concept aimed at addressing a contemporary issue in the industry. These ideas are solution based, not physical inventions or products, in order to discover better ways of building and advancing the industry." Kundratic explained that the innovative hemp product category is what you would think in a normal pitch competition, it's for, "... promising new hemp products made of a significant portion of hemp material, and it has to be in a stage that can be demonstrated to judges." The finalists of the competition will present their ideas at the summit, and the winners will be announced at the reception.
The full 2022 PA Hemp Summit will take place November 8th and 9th, 2022 in Lancaster. This event will include the summit, tradeshow, and reception. A new feature of the November event is vendor sales. The integration of sales into the event allows businesses to see a visible return during the summit.
Registration is open for both the April and November events. There are exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities available, and if an individual is interested in speaking at the November event, they can submit a proposal to do so. COVID-19 protocols for the events are available on the website. For more information on the PA Hemp Summit, visit https://pahempsummit.com.

Daniel "Dan" Plato (Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica; 5 de octubre de 1960) es un político sudafricano, perteneciente a la Alianza Democrática. Actualmente ocupa el cargo de Alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo. Anteriormente ya había ocupado el cargo, desde mayo de 2009 hasta junio de 2011. Además se desempeñó como miembro de la Legislatura Provincial de Cabo Occidental y Ministro de Seguridad Comunitaria de la Provincia de Cabo Occidental.

Biografía
Plato, nacido en Ciudad del Cabo, participó en actividades políticas durante su carrera en la escuela secundaria. Fue un organizador comunitario y desempeñó un papel crucial en la movilización de los residentes contra el gobierno del Apartheid. Fue elegido consejero de barrio en 1996. Ocupó diversos cargos y ocupó cargos internos en el seno de la Alianza Demócrata durante su mandato como concejal de Ciudad del Cabo. Fue elegido alcalde en 2009, sucediendo a Helen Zille.

Dejó el cargo el 1 de junio de 2011 después de que la Alianza Democrática nominara a Patricia de Lille para ser la candidata a la alcaldía del partido antes de las elecciones del gobierno local de 2011. La Premier de la Provincia de Cabo Occidental, Helen Zille, reorganizó su gabinete y nombró a Plato para el cargo de Ministro Provincial de Seguridad Comunitaria, sucediendo a Albert Fritz. Fue juramentado en junio de 2011.

En agosto de 2018, se declaró candidato para reemplazar a Patricia de Lille, quien anunció en agosto de 2018 que renunciaría en octubre de 2018. Fue seleccionado por la Alianza Democrática en septiembre de 2018. A fines de octubre de 2018, Plato renunció a su cargo de Provincial. Fue Ministro de Seguridad Comunitaria y miembro del Parlamento Provincial de Western Cape y juramentado como Miembro del Consejo de Ciudad del Cabo el 1 de noviembre de 2018. Fue elegido alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo el 6 de noviembre de 2018 y anunció su Comité de Alcaldía el 12 de noviembre de 2018.

Primeros años y actividades políticas

Actividades previas al Ayuntamiento de Ciudad del Cabo
Ha estado involucrado en actividades políticas desde la escuela secundaria, particularmente en los suburbios del norte de Ciudad del Cabo. Como organizador de la comunidad, desempeñó un papel importante al reunir a personas contra el régimen del apartheid. A mediados de la década de 1980, trabajó en la Unidad de Servicios de Emergencia de la antigua Municipalidad de Bellville (Administración de Tygerberg), y se convirtió en Presidente de la Asociación Nacional de Tuberculosis de Sudáfrica en Ciudad del Cabo a mediados de la década de 1990.

Concejal de Ciudad del Cabo
En 1996, Plato fue elegido consejero de barrio por Belhar, Uitsig y Ravensmead. Se desempeñó durante dos mandatos como presidente del Comité de la cartera de Desarrollo Económico, Turismo y Gestión de la Propiedad de la Ciudad de Ciudad del Cabo.

De 2006 a 2009, dirigió la cartera de viviendas en el Comité de Alcaldía. Durante el mismo período, como Vicepresidente de la Región Metropolitana de DA y Caucus de DA en la Ciudad de Ciudad del Cabo. También había servido como alcalde ejecutivo interino en varios intervalos. Poco antes de ser elegido alcalde ejecutivo en mayo de 2009, Plato asumió el cargo de miembro del Comité de la Alcaldía responsable de la prestación de servicios y el desarrollo económico.

Otras actividades
Además de sus actividades políticas, se ha desempeñado en los consejos de una amplia variedad de organizaciones, entre ellas la Comisión de Cine de Cabo, Turismo de Cabo, la Universidad de Western Cape y la Red de Oportunidades de Negocios, y ha sido miembro de múltiples comunidades basado en fideicomisos y ha realizado trabajo de campaña para el VIH / sida, los derechos de las mujeres y el desarrollo de los jóvenes.

Primer mandato como alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo

Elección como alcalde
Plato fue elegido alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo en mayo de 2009, cuando Helen Zille renunció a convertirse en Premier de la Provincia de Cabo Occidental, ya que fue elegida Premier en las elecciones generales, que tuvieron lugar en abril de 2009. Ganó con 119 votos a la candidata del CNA Belinda Landingwe. 69 votos, seis concejales se abstuvieron. Fue inaugurado el 12 de mayo de 2009.

Tenencia
Durante su mandato como alcalde, se construyeron baños polémicos al aire libre en Makhaza, Khayelitsha. La Alianza Democrática defendió su decisión de construir los baños. El Tribunal Superior de Western Cape falló posteriormente en su contra.

Bajo su mandato, Ciudad del Cabo fue sede de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2010 como ciudad anfitriona. Prohibió que la vieja bandera sudafricana estuviera presente en los partidos de fútbol en el estadio de Ciudad del Cabo, porque describió la bandera como perjudicial para la imagen del país.

Además, Ciudad del Cabo fue calificada por el Departamento de Gobernanza Cooperativa y Asuntos Tradicionales como la ciudad mejor administrada de Sudáfrica. Se estimó que la ciudad era la mejor en brindar servicios básicos y también se anunció como el destino turístico número uno de Sudáfrica. El Auditor General también otorgó a la ciudad el buen gobierno y la responsabilidad.

Plato introdujo muchos proyectos de creación de empleos y convirtió la reducción del desempleo en uno de los muchos puntos centrales de su agenda de la alcaldía.

Reemplazo
En 2011, la Alianza Democrática anunció que Patricia de Lille sería su candidata para las próximas elecciones municipales. Dejó el cargo el 1 de junio de 2011.

Segundo mandato como alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo

Anuncio como candidato
En agosto de 2018, Plato anunció que era un candidato para reemplazar a Patricia de Lille como alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo, después de que de Lille anunció que renunciaría efectivamente el 31 de octubre de 2018.

El 18 de septiembre de 2018, la Alianza Democrática anunció que Platón sucederá a Lille. Derrotó a candidatos prominentes, como el presidente del Parlamento Provincial de Western Cape, Sharna Fernández, y el Vicealcalde de Ciudad del Cabo, Ian Neilson.

Crítica
La Asamblea del Congreso Nacional Africano en el Ayuntamiento de Ciudad del Cabo no se impresionó de que se seleccionara a Plato y lo describió como un "pésimo" candidato a alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo. El partido dijo que presentarían su propio candidato a la alcaldía. El partido presentó a Xolani Sotashe como su candidato.

Juramento como Concejal
El 1 de noviembre de 2018, Platón fue juramentado como Concejal de Ciudad del Cabo por el concejal del Concejo, Dirk Smith. La víspera de la ceremonia, Patricia de Lille, renunció como alcaldesa de Ciudad del Cabo cuando anunció en agosto de 2018 que renunciaría el 31 de octubre de 2018.

El conocido de Patricia de Lille, Brett Herron, renunció como concejal de Ciudad del Cabo después de la ceremonia junto con muchos otros concejales, en protesta por la destitución de Patricia de Lille y la alcaldía de Dan Plato.

Aval de la Alianza Democrática Provincial
El 3 de noviembre de 2018, el líder provincial de la Alianza Democrática, Bonginkosi Madikizela, anunció que el consejo provincial había respaldado a Plato para convertirse en alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo. Madikizela también indicó que el consejo espera que Plato restaure la unidad y la estabilidad en el comité de la Alianza Democrática de Ciudad del Cabo.

Fue elegido alcalde de Ciudad del Cabo el 6 de noviembre de 2018 durante una sesión especial del consejo, recibiendo 146 de 208 votos. Sus principales rivales fueron Xolani Sotashe del Congreso Nacional Africano y Grant Haskin del Partido Demócrata Cristiano Africano. Sotashe recibió 53 votos, mientras que Haskin obtuvo 3 votos.

On one side, Bitcoin and various cryptocurrencies are losing their luster, blockchain technology on the other side is still developing innovative applications from banks to finance sector, says Jerry Yang.
Currently, we all are standing at a crucial juncture where the hype regarding blockchain and cryptocurrencies seems fading away. However, compared to the crypto market, blockchain technology still holds its stance on deploying important applications right from banking to finance sector.
Blockchain is a natural technology for banks and trading. If you look at U.S. institutions and banks, the kind of infrastructure that is being developed has long-term implications. For the technology to succeed, the question is can there be trust built? That can open huge amounts of doors.
A short description about Jerry Yang: He is a Taiwanese-American entrepreneur which is also a co-founder of Yahoo since 1994 along with David Filo. Moreover, he left the organization in 2012 to initiate AME Cloud Ventures, that currently offers seed funding specifically to technology startups.

"The declaration of solvency must be accompanied by a statement of the assets and liabilities of the company as at the latest practical date before the making of the declaration of solvency."
"Where the company to be liquidated is a regulated entity under BVI law, the prior approval of the Financial Services Commission must be obtained."
This briefing addresses the usual manner in which solvent voluntary liquidations proceed under the BVI Business Companies Act 2004, as amended (the "Act"). The observations that follow are subject to the particular provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of any company seeking a voluntary liquidation and we recommend that these are always reviewed in the first instance.
Where a company has no liabilities or is able to pay its debts as they come due and the value of its assets equals or exceeds its liabilities, a voluntary winding up and dissolution may be commenced by a resolution of directors or by a resolution of members.
whether the liquidator is required to send to all members a statement of account prepared or caused to be prepared by the liquidator in respect of his actions or transactions.
The declaration of solvency must be accompanied by a statement of the assets and liabilities of the company as at the latest practical date before the making of the declaration of solvency.
Following approval by the directors, the Plan must be authorised by a resolution of members. The Plan must be sent to all members (regardless of voting rights) regardless of whether such resolution is to be passed at a general meeting or in writing.
within 30 days of commencement of the liquidation, advertise notice of his appointment in the manner prescribed.
The advertisements must be placed in a newspaper in the BVI as well as in a newspaper in the jurisdiction outside the BVI where the company has its principal place of business.
The liquidation commences on filing the notice of the voluntary liquidator's appointment at the Registry and continues until terminated in accordance with the Act.
The liquidator needs to be an eligible individual, but need not be resident in the British Virgin Islands and may not be (nor have been for two years prior to the liquidation) a senior manager or a director of the company to be liquidated or an affiliated company.
send a copy of the statement of account to all members, if so required.
Where the company to be liquidated is a regulated entity under BVI law, the prior approval of the Financial Services Commission must be obtained. Other than in the case of a regulated fund, the voluntary liquidator of a regulated entity must be a licensed insolvency practitioner.
The dissolution of the company is effective from the date of issue of the certificate by the Registrar. Immediately following the issue of the certificate of dissolution, the liquidator publishes a notice in the Gazette, that the company has been struck off the Register of Companies and dissolved.


We know frying isn't healthy but what about baking. Is the usage of an oven a guaranty for healthy food? Well, like with everything else, baking can be a good thing if some safety and healthy tips put into practice.
It can be purchased from every grocery store and it absorbs grease from meat and allows cookies and other bakeries not to stick on the bottom of the tin. An important element of the cooking with paper is not to wrinkle it. Just be careful, that should be more than enough. This is not something you can or cannot do but something you can learn and improve during the years.
N.B. Remember, baking paper absorbs fat and will decrease the chance of food to fry in it's own juices. The paper also protects the baking sheets.
#2 You want your food well baked and cooked. It's not healthy to have black, heavily cooked outer side and raw inside. In order to achieve it, lower the temperature inside the oven. That prevents big heat differences in different corners of the oven and therefore better cooking.
Other method to achieve even baking is by purchasing a convection oven or an aga oven. Their principle of work is completely different and they deliver the evenness we talk about.
#3 Use less oil or add it when your food is prepared. Especially if using extra virgin olive oil, that practice delivers fresh and specific taste to the meal which otherwise is lost, when oil is added at the beginning. Other benefit of course is the lack of even slightest frying.
#4 Clean oven is a must for healthy cooking. Tastes may mix, bacteria may thrive and unpleasant smells of burnt grease to appear if the oven is badly or not clean at all.
These tips should provide you with the needed information to cook healthier in your house.

Valerio apparteneva all'aristocrazia italica ed era imparentato con gli Acilii Glabriones. Suo padre era Valerio Messalla, un proconsole, probabilmente sotto l'imperatore Massimino Trace. Si ritiene che Valerio fosse un rappresentante dell'opposizione romana all'imperatore barbaro Massimino Trace; per tale ragione venne scelto nella commissione senatoriale dei vigintiviri.

Valerio fu prima triumvir monetarum, quaestor urbanus, questore in una provincia non nota e infine praetor tutelaris, vale a dire responsabile per questioni concernenti le tutele. Fu anche Curator Laurentium Labinatium.

Nel 233 ricevette il consolato; come comes dell'imperatore Pupieno lo seguì durante i suoi viaggi. Nel 255 divenne praefectus urbi e nel 256 console per la seconda volta.

Valerio Massimo si riteneva un discendente dei Valerii Maximi della Repubblica romana: diede infatti al figlio il nome di Lucio Valerio Poplicola Balbino Massimo, in riferimento al leggendario console degli inizi della Repubblica Publio Valerio Publicola.

The King of Design, the "Prince of the useless". Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Philippe Starck, the undisputed star of contemporary design, creator of cult objects, inventor of ethereal forms and master of ready-made pop from gold guns to garden gnomes. Born in Paris in 1949 to a painter and an aeronautical engineer, Starck learned beauty and rigor from his family and grew up to become that insatiable creator of objects we know today. The prolific French architect has designed just about every kind of product out there, from the most famous lemon squeezer in the world to sailing boats, shoes, glasses, personal wind turbines, televisions and motorcycles. Starck has one rule: to be "subversive, ethical, ecological, political, spiritual". And he sticks to it, especially from an ethical point of view, in his search for a sense to the work of the designer "who does not save human lives". Because design must contribute to the evolution of the species and everyone must do their part.

If you're just starting out ice fishing and are looking for an auger, the Strikemaster Mora is the perfect choice.
The Strikemaster Mora is one of the longest running hand augers out there. These augers offer great value, and are the perfect choice for beginning ice anglers who want a great product that will last forever, without spending a ton of money. Just like all Strikemaster hand augers, these feature a two piece fully adjustable handle, with cushioned, ergonomic grips. The main difference between the Mora and the Lazer is the shape of the blades. Mora blades don't feature as much of an angle, meaning they don't cut as fast, however, they are made with a high alloy carbon steel material and are super sharp. For easy ice removal, Mora augers feature a powder coated bit, finished in their iconic blue color.

The Dallas Cowboys conducted a little business in advance of Saturday's preseason opener at Los Angeles.
The team has agreed to terms with center Travis Frederick on a six-year contract extension that will make him the highest-paid center in the league, NFL Media's Rand Getlin and NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday. Per Rapoport, the deal is worth $56.4 million ($18.2 million fully guaranteed, $28.2 million in total guarantees), per a source informed of the contract.
Frederick later signed the deal on Sunday, per the team.
Alex Mack of the Falcons held the previous mark at center, signing a five-year, $45 million contract in March.
Earning a trip to the Pro Bowl in each of the past two seasons, Frederick has anchored the game's dominant offensive line.
The 2013 first-round draft pick's four-year rookie deal was worth $6.87 million. The Cowboys had already exercised the fifth-year, $8.8 million option on his contract for 2017.
After opening contract talks with one of the NFL's best centers earlier this month, executive vice president Stephen Jones noted that Frederick is "one of those guys you want on your football team."
"I don't know how many different ways we can say it, but it's the strong point of our football team," Jones said, via ESPN.com, of the offensive line. "The strength of it and the amazing thing about it is it's not only a strength in terms of on the field, but they represent everything we want in terms of the work ethic and what they do off the field. So just a great group to try and (we will try to) keep them all together."

The Rookie Season 3 was one of the last ABC shows to have its premiere date revealed, however, ABC finally released the information today.
The Rookie will be back on the first Sunday of 2021 with its third season.
The Rookie Season 3 release date
On Nov. 19, ABC revealed the release date for The Rookie Season 3.
The Rookie will return to Sunday nights on ABC on January 3, 2021, at 10/9c. This is the same timeslot that it aired for Season 2.
The Rookie was one of four announcements that ABC made on Thursday.
Black-ish will move back to Tuesday nights at 9/8c on January 26 and pair up with its sister series Mixed-ish.
This will help the new sitcom, Call Your Mother, make its premiere on January 13. That sitcom stars Kyra Sedgwick and will air at 9:30 EST, following The Conners midseason premiere.
Also, Station 19, Grey's Anatomy, and A Million Little Things will start back up with the second half of their seasons on March 4. The final episodes for the first half will be on December 17.
What will happen in The Rookie Season 3 premiere?
ABC released a teaser about what fans can expect from The Rookie Season 3.
According to the network, Nathan Fillion's John Nolan is "nearing the end of his training," and facing "his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth."
To break that down, John returned to his apartment in Season 2 and found out that someone set him up and planted some incriminating evidence in his home. The evidence made it look like John was a dirty cop.
The worst part is that his mentor and close friend, Nick Armstrong (Harold Perrineau) was the real dirty cop and now Nolan has to figure out how to clear his name in Season 3.
"John Nolan and Nick Armstrong have gone through a lot this season. They became friends, Armstrong was a mentor to him," said The Rookie's executive producer, Alexi Hawley.
There will also be a strong hint of the current state of America when it comes to police brutality and how people see law enforcement.
"It's a diverse writer's room and I'm hearing that the conversations going on in that room are inspired and give me hope that that show will address and not ignore the conversations around policing," said ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke.
The Rookie Season 3 will premiere on Sunday night, January 3, 2021, at 10/9c on ABC.

Boeing 737 Max operators consider jet's return
Boeing is finalising changes to software implicated in both accidents, and the FAA said it expects to receive the update as soon as next week
Airlines that use Boeing Co.'s 737 Max will meet next week to discuss the grounded plane's eventual return to service, just as global regulators gather to talk about the steps needed to allow the plane to fly again.
The International Air Transport Association is organising the airline event in Montreal on May 23, according to an email Wednesday from the trade group. That's the same day that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will host about 50 foreign counterparts in Texas to discuss plans for reviewing a software update and new pilot training for the Max.
"The meeting will provide a forum for airlines to exchange information about the experiences and challenges that they face as a result of the grounding and in their preparation for the reintroduction of the aircraft into operations,'' IATA said.
The simultaneous gatherings herald a new phase for Boeing's push to get its best-selling jet back in the skies after two devastating crashes in a five-month span. The US planemaker is finalising changes to software implicated in both accidents, and the FAA said it expects to receive the update as soon as next week. The Max has been grounded for two months.
Of IATA's 290 member airlines, 28 have the Max in their fleet, the trade group said. Southwest Airlines Co., the largest operator of the model, said it would attend next week's meeting. The Max debuted two years ago as the newest version of Boeing's workhorse 737.
The IATA event is for airlines only but will include updates from the FAA and Boeing. IATA's board of governors will receive a summary of the meeting, but no public press release is planned, the group said.
IATA will hold its annual meeting in Seoul on June 1.

Right to reply: Can Apple TV+ take Netflix's crown?
This week saw Apple finally unveil its long awaiting Netflix rival. Maria Rua-Agueta at IHS Markit, looks at the state of the current market and how Apple TV + can stand out from the crowd.
Apple is now obviously looking beyond its own devices, with the deal it recently struck with Samsung. However, the new Apple streaming service could provide further evidence that the company is opening up its walled garden to increase consumer reach, as smartphone sales continue to soften.
Netflix confirmed that the company will not be part of Apple's streaming service, but Showtime, HBO, Starz and others could end up joining its new service. Such partnerships will be critical to bolster the value of Apple's service on top of their $1 billion content spend; an impressive early number, but one that still pales in comparison to the current spending of other global content providers.
Some key points:
•	The primary focus of Apple is on its high-margin hardware business, which comprises 86 percent of Apple revenue. However, the company is increasingly focusing on consumer services and subscriptions, which are a growing part of its business.
•	Apple has 1.4 billion installed devices around the world, according to IHS Markit.
•	Apple has reportedly spent up to $1 billion on original commissions and broadening the availability of its video offers—most notably with its announcement at CES 2019 that iTunes would be coming to Samsung TVs. There are approximately 9 million Samsung TV sets in North America that could run the iTunes app once updated firmware is installed, according to IHS Markit.
•	Apple's expansion outside of its ecosystem is likely to include partnerships with other content providers, which could position Apple as a content re-aggregator in an increasingly fragmented online video market.
•	Apple is looking to diversify its revenue streams as smartphone sales slow. With more than 1 billion iPhones shipped, Apple ranked second in global smartphone shipments in 2017. In 2018 Apple's ranking fell to third, behind Huawei and Samsung.
Apple video strategy options
Apple has a wide range of options, when it comes to its video strategy. These options include, but are not limited to, the following:
•	Restructuring its existing media services (including the video portion of Apple Music). Using this to create differentiation from similar services, and enhancing consumer value.
•	Adding a new video tier to a broader subscription suite, sitting alongside: the company's expected news subscription offer, the recently rumoured games subscription, or even as an expansion to the Apple Upgrade program.
•	Free media for hardware users – adding value and differentiation in an increasingly competitive market, incentivising iPhone sales.
•	Launching a standalone video service with Apple's own content, forging partnerships with players like HBO, and consolidating iTunes and Apple originals with content from other video players, all in one place.
Apple might adopt some combination of the options above (e.g. Apple Music subscribers get video as a value-add at no extra charge, while other consumers can sign up for a monthly fee).
Questions for consumers
A new streaming service could be a boon for consumers, in the following ways:
1.	More competition, always good for consumers
2.	More money – more (and more premium) content – lower costs for consumers.
3.	More inventive content – greater selection of more diverse content both in terms of subject matter, genre and origin of production – German, Spanish, Korean content thriving.
With all of these new service providers and content, reluctance to subscribe to additional services could become an industry concern, as consumers begin to compare their services based on quality and price. A potential solution to this issue may come in the form of re-aggregation. As streaming services make deals with telcos and cable companies, growing numbers of subscriptions are managed through traditional deals. Amazon Channels platform and other online platforms will emerge, and they will also play a roll in re-aggregation. It's highly likely that what today's announcement from Apple will attempt to solve this problem.
Partnerships and the aggregator role will become critical
The aggregator role will become more important to Sky and other pay TV operators. Partnering with different SVOD providers will become increasingly important, when it comes to providing a complete bundle. The online video market in the United States is set to get even more competitive, with major launches from Disney, Apple, Warner Media and Comcast.
Platforms achieve scale, and generate revenue, using a number of different business models. The global big-tech firms competing in the video market operate in very different ways to the incumbent players. For example, platform companies' core business is not video – they come from a variety of backgrounds, as follows:
•	Alibaba: Retail
•	Amazon: Retail
•	Apple: Devices
•	Google: Advertising
Amazon is primarily a retailer, and it's branching out from online into physical retail, payment systems, hardware and voice assistants is particularly noteable. Outside of its retail focussed operations, an increasingly large percentage of Amazon's revenue are generated from its AWS cloud computing division. For Google, the vast majority of revenue comes from advertising, either directly or through partners.
Aysmymetric threat
Big technology companies are a threat to traditional businesses offering standalone versions of a single element of these platforms. Additionally, if the big platforms don't need to make a profit from a particular service, they can easily (even incidentally) undercut those pure-play companies operating on a tight margin. For platform companies, value can be created elsewhere.
This is further compounded when the value of video to a company's wider ecosystem is considered, namely in the following ways:
•	Tying the ecosystem together – device, video, commerce, etc.
•	Increasing user adoption and user engagement, as it provides a better user experience
•	Driving revenue and monetisation
•	Reducing churn

Ball State knocks off Valparaiso, moves to 5-2
Dakota Crawford

MUNCIE — Any time the shot clock ticked down to eight seconds, the Valparaiso bench shouted in unison "seven, six, five," and so on. They yelled across the Worthen Arena court, counting down to let teammates know they needed to get a shot off.
They might as well have whispered, "Guys, we're in trouble."
Ball State (5-2) knocked off Valparaiso 69-66 Saturday behind another solid defensive effort. Head coach James Whitford said his big guys, specifically freshman Trey Moses, helped establish control in the paint.
"You can't be a great team if you don't have the ability to impact the rim," Whitford said. "I've just never seen one. We're much bigger in that way than we ever have been."
That chant from Valparaiso was heard often early in Saturday's game as Ball State's stingy defense forced the better part of five long shot clocks. In the first half, Valparaiso shot just 31 percent from the floor and an even 30 percent from 3-point range.
Moses recorded three blocks in the game, all in the first half, and sophomore Francis Kiapway had another. Bo Calhoun, Franko House and Jeremiah Davis each added one to bring the team total seven for the game.
Though the Crusaders had a size advantage, the Cardinals were able to match up and often out-play their bigger opponent. But then halftime came and Valparaiso opened with an 8-0 run to take a 31-29 lead, its first since leading by two in the first minute.
For the first time in the entire game, Ball State looked like the underdog it was — its energy dipped, the players looked frustrated and winded. The only thing whispering at that point was Ball State's offense.
"We didn't come out as assertive as I wanted us to in the second half," Whitford said.
Junior Alec Peters, who finished the game 5 of 9 from deep with 28 points, was able to get more than enough room on screens during two big Valparaiso runs. The Cardinals tried to switch on him defensively but struggled to keep a man in Peters' face.
"We lost our responsibility on him three or four times," Whitford said. "It's not easy to do because you're always changing the rotation of who is guarding him."
Ball State finally got some life after back-to-back 3-pointers courtesy of Ryan Weber and Kiapway with less than 17 minutes left to play. Though they only scored seven points each, the buckets came at big moments and got the Worthen crowd as fired up as it's been all season.
Ball State extends its home record to 3-0, and will next host IUPUI at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Weber said he's been glad to give the Muncie crowds something to cheer for this season.
"An exciting win like this against a team picked to win the Horizon League," Weber said. "It was great to do it in front of our home crowd like that."
Over the final two minutes, it was Moses' offense, not his defense, that really impacted the game. He found himself stuck in the paint with nowhere to pass, so he turned around and chucked up a fadeaway mid-range shot that fell. Somehow.
He scored Ball State's final field goal of the game, a quick layup, to open a three-point lead over Valparaiso — a team that returned five starters from last year's NCAA tournament roster, is favored to win the Horizon League and received votes in the most recent Associated Press poll.
As the Crusaders looked to tie the game with just over 10 seconds to play, the Cardinals counted down, hoping for a fourth-straight win. It's not just the team's fifth win this season, or its third at home, it's another step in the right direction under Whitford in his third year with the team.
"We didn't win very much," House said of his first two seasons at Ball State. "The culture that we're building around here and all that is getting way better."
