Eight Best Places to Retire Abroad (and Enjoy the Good Life for Less)
by Holly Johnson Updated on 12.13.17
Real Estate Retirement Travel
More than 373,000 Americans had retired abroad by 2013, according to the Social Security Administration, and for various reasons. For some, the decision to retire overseas could be based on a desire to experience different cultures and surroundings. Others may want to be closer to relatives or friends.
But for a certain percentage of would-be retirees, the decision to retire in a foreign country is one based mostly on economics. Why? Because it is often far less expensive to put roots down in developing countries with less-established economies. And when you're living on a fixed income, the notion of a luxurious lifestyle somewhere else can be quite alluring.
But, should retirees really consider an international move based on the financials alone? Dan Prescher, senior editor of InternationalLiving.com, says no.
"If you don't have a sense of adventure, a real desire to experience another culture, some patience, and a sense of humor, you won't have a good time abroad no matter how inexpensive a place is… you'll simply be an economic refugee," explains Prescher.
And that makes sense. After all, it takes more than a roomy budget for someone to be happy in America. If you wouldn't enjoy what your new country has to offer, having some extra cash probably won't improve your life considerably. According to Prescher, there is also a lot to consider when choosing a life abroad that has nothing to do with money.
"The rest of the world is not America Lite… nor does it want to be," he says. "You will not find exactly the same life you had back home at half the cost. These are unique countries with their own cultures, economies, histories, and ways of doing things. If those unique characteristics bother you or don't interest you, there is no point in moving to those countries no matter how low their general cost of living."
8 Cheap Places to Retire Abroad
But what if you are interested in other cultures, open-minded to new experiences, and want to live on a fraction of your normal budget? If that's the case, you have plenty of research ahead of you. The truth is, there are dozens of countries that offer a considerably lower cost of living than the U.S., Canada, or Europe, and often with beautiful scenery, perfect weather, and plenty of expat camaraderie to boot.
If you're looking for an inexpensive place to retire abroad, consider these eight countries that might just be exactly what you're looking for.
The Huffington Post called Nicaragua an "up-and-coming retirement destination" in 2013 for a reason, and that reason seems to center around its unbelievably low cost of living.
Nicaragua has the lowest cost of living in Central and South America, according to the stats. Meanwhile, the United States Department of State reports that Nicaragua experiences lower rates of crime and homicide than neighboring Latin American countries. Nicaragua's Granada has become an extremely popular place for adventurous American retirees due to its beautiful location along the coast of Lake Nicaragua, its lively expat community, and its relevant historical and architectural attractions.
According to statistics haven Numbeo, you can get a gallon of milk in Nicaragua for around $1.11, a pack of cigarettes for $1.10, and a one-bedroom apartment in a city center for around $244 per month.
Another country with insanely cheap prices on everything from housing to groceries is Vietnam. In Vietnam, you can get a domestic beer for around a buck, a bottle of water for around 50 cents, and a three-bedroom apartment outside of a city center for around $538 per month.
With beautiful scenery, an unbelievable culinary scene, and culture galore, Ho Chi Minh City has become a popular place for Americans and Europeans to retire on a budget. As the U.S. Department of State reports, most travelers should feel just as safe in Vietnam as they do suddenly rich. "Violent crimes, such as murders, armed robbery, and kidnapping, remain very rare in Vietnam, especially for the expatriate community," the State Department says.
According to International Living, a typical couple can expect to live comfortably in Ecuador for somewhere between $1,600 and $2,400 per month. Even on the high end, that's less than $30,000 a year for quality living in a tropical, beautiful, and unique environment brimming with culture and opportunity.
As International Living reports, an upscale two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Ecuador will likely run you only $600 per month. Meanwhile, $25 should e enough for utilities, and $15 should cover a basic cell phone package. Apparently, it's also possible (and popular) for Americans to buy into the local health care system for around $140 per month, or $250 for a private health plan for a retired couple.
Thailand is not only beautiful, it's also cheap to live, enjoy leisure activities, and eat. For example, a meal at an inexpensive restaurant will likely run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.50, while a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant will only cost you around $15. A one-way bus ticket costs a little over 60 cents, and the average Internet bill comes in at less than $20 a month.
But here's the kicker: a one-bedroom apartment in a city center usually only costs around $336 per month, making retirement in Thailand an attractive proposition for those who want to experience international city living on a rural Midwestern budget.
French blogger Pauline of ReachFinancialInedpendence.com has been living in Guatemala off and on since 2004, mostly due to the low cost of living and her desire to live a semi-retired lifestyle built entirely on online income.
According to Pauline, you can find a two-bedroom, fully furnished apartment in the capital city for $500-$800 per month. In many parts of Guatemala, you can visit a doctor for $10 or spend a night in a mid-range hotel for around $30.
But one of the biggest draws of life in Guatemala for early retirees is the affordability of household help. According to Pauline, in Guatemala, you can hire a full-time maid/cook/nanny for around $200 a month, a full-time handyman/maid for $300 per month, or a house cleaner for $7-$10 per day.
Several factors continue to make Belize a go-to destination for those considering a cheap retirement abroad. The fact that its citizens speak English as a first language is a likely draw, as is its proximity to crystal-clear blue waters and reputation for amazing snorkeling and outstanding scenery.
What's more, you can rent an unfurnished house for around $400 per month in Belize, according to International Living, and even hire your own part-time maid and gardener for around $130 per month each. According to the Huffington Post, Belize also makes it extremely easy for foreigners to establish residency and even run a business completely tax-free.
With a three-bedroom apartment in a city center costing only $402 per month, it's no wonder the Philippines remains a popular destination for Americans who want to retire abroad. According to Numbeo, a local bus ticket in most cities will run you less than 20 cents, while a meal for two at a mid-range restaurant only costs around $14.
According to a recent article in U.S. News and World Report, you can see a doctor in most regions of Southeast Asia for less than $20 while also receiving much better care than you might expect. Meanwhile, they report that a retiree couple could reasonably expect to live an upscale lifestyle on less than $1,000 per month, including in-country travel. The local government also sweetens the pot by offering one of the easiest paths to permanent residency in the world.
Panama was named International Living's "World's Best Retirement Haven in 2014″ for a reason, and part of the allure is definitely its low cost of living and the overall value it offers for each and every retirement dollar.
As International Living reports, a couple can live comfortably in beautiful Boquete for less than $1,500 per month including rent, utilities, transportation, groceries, household goods, and entertainment. Meanwhile, a similar lifestyle in Panama City may only run $2,000-$2,500 per month.
But the icing on the cake is Panama's treatment of wealthy expats who can prove their ability to sustain themselves. Actually, retirees who can prove incomes of at least $1,000 per month are welcome to apply for legal residency and all of the perks that come with it.
Should You Retire Abroad?
Does all of this sound tempting? If retiring abroad on the cheap sounds like a move you might want to make, you're certainly not alone. However, there are certain factors you should consider before you pack up your life and board a plane to Panama.
According to International Living's Prescher, the first thing anyone should do is take some time to honestly profile themselves.
"Be honest about why you're moving in the first place and what you're willing to live with… and without," explains Prescher. And if you find that you may not enjoy the reality of retirement abroad nearly much as the idea of it, there's no shame in that, he says.
"If you absolutely need a certain brand of peanut butter or sheets of a certain thread count or a bowling alley nearby or the grand baby in your lap twice a week to be happy, then that's what you need to be happy… and if the place you're going doesn't have these things and you can't find acceptable substitutes or do without them, don't go there. You won't be happy," he says.
Before you decide, Prescher and other experts suggest doing your research. Take some time to learn as much as you can about different destinations and cultures and put some effort into reaching out to other retirees who have already experienced it.
With the collective wisdom of the Internet at your disposal, there is no reason to fly blindly into a new situation that you may or may not like. Use technology not only to do your research, but to seek out real answers to your most important questions. There is simply no reason not to.
"The Internet has changed almost everything about being an expat. Instant communication with friends and loved ones back home, the ability to handle financial matters online, the availability of media programming and entertainment from back home… these are huge benefits to expats once they move," explains Prescher. "But before you move, it's now easier than ever to do focused, intensive research on very specific locations and to benefit from the experiences of expats already living the life in those places. Take advantage of it."

Vancouver Winter Games 2010 - 17. December 2007.
Vancouver , BC—For the extraordinary athletes who will compete at the 2010 Winter Games, winning an Olympic or Paralympic medal will be one of the ultimate achievements of their athletic careers. To create the design of the medals which symbolize that achievement, the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) today announced it is seeking proposals from artists – both from Canada and around the world – interested in designing the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic medals. The official Request for Proposals (RFP) is available at www.vancouver2010.com.
"For an athlete, competing at the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games marks the pinnacle of a life's work. The weight of an Olympic and Paralympic medal around their neck symbolizes the dreams not only of the athlete, but also their families and their communities and their achievement inspires so many. Standing on the podium to accept an Olympic or Paralympic medal is truly a moment without measure," said Cathy Priestner Allinger, VANOC's executive vice president of Sport, Paralympic Games and Venue Management, herself a Canadian silver medallist in speed skating at the Innsbruck 1976 Olympic Winter Games.

Zoltán POMPOR PhD is the leader of the The Curriculum and Learning Material Developing Group of the Reformed Church in Hungary, also a lecturer of the subjects: children's literature and reading motivation at the Károli Gáspar University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. Last year presented a book on reading motivation (Tell a tale to help them read). Member of the board of the Hungarian Reading Association.
Peregrin – a virtual journey through the history of the Reformed schools
The Curriculum and Learning Material Developing Group of the Reformed Church in Hungary with the help of an online gamified learning platform made a two-month pilot in which they connected technology and literacy. 12-16-year-old students and their teachers all over the country were invited to submit their applications to participate in a knowledge contest. During their exciting adventure, children learn in a playful way about the history of the Reformed schools by solving various educational tasks.
During traditional classroom trainings, children were introduced to lots of information, but it was not enough to engage them with the topic of Reformed school history. Not to mention that after classes their newly acquired knowledge vanished rapidly. With the help of an online gamified learning platform we have transformed education into a game-like learning experience. During their exciting adventure, children had to retrieve lost data while traveling from one city to the next with the help of their virtual hero, Peregrin. Children could move forward in the story and getting closer to find the lost information by reading and solving comprehension tests. Participating students formed teams and applied for the two-month contest with the help of the mentors from their schools. They had to mobilize such important 21st century skills like cooperation, critical thinking, creativity and communication. They paid virtual visits to historic sites, and after each completed task, they were rewarded with points, which they could redeem for valuable prizes. To process the acquired knowledge, children voluntarily completed in real-life activities related to the topics, and they shared their experience with readers on their dedicated online blogs.

Strong storms moving through earlier in the week had the fortunate effect of much liked precipitation. Soak the garden, put snow on the mountain tops kind of precipitation and cooler weather. As we reported earlier, the effect in the Park was to muddy up just about everything- Soda Butte, Lamar, even Slough. With that, we were seeing a sizable jump in water levels and an off colored river here in the valley that lasted multiple days. We are good to go, now, however and things look to be back on track. Pics from this AM show green water with respectable clarity. Reports from up high say 2-thumbs-up.

is a remote mountainous highland valley within the Hida Mountains range, in the western region of Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

It has been preserved in its natural state within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. It is designated as one of Japan's National Cultural Assets, on the list of Special Natural Monuments and Special Places of Scenic Beauty. It is sometimes referred to as the "Japanese Yosemite Valley," although it is considerably smaller than its Californian counterpart.

Geography

Kamikōchi is a high mountain valley approximately 18 kilometers in length. The average elevation of the valley floor ranges between roughly  above sea level at the south end and roughly  at the northern tip.

Kamikōchi is located in the Hida Mountains, the "Northern Alps" of the Japanese Alps. The surrounding mountains reach . Kamikōchi is bordered on its northern end by Mount Hotaka, and on its southern end by Mount Yake, an active volcano.

The Azusa River, the headwater of Japan's longest river, the Shinano River, flows the length of the valley, filling Lake Taishō at the base of Mt. Yake. Lake Taishō received its name because it was formed by the eruption of Mt. Yake in 1915, which was part of the Taishō period in Japan.

Because of the relatively flat topography of the Kamikochi Valley, marshes and ponds are a common feature, including the Takezawa Marsh, Tashiro Pond, and Myojin Pond.  As the waters are mainly from melted snow runoff or underground aquifers, the water temperature is cold, even in the height of summer. The Tokusawa area at the far northern end of the valley served as a grazing area for horses and cattle until 1934, when the area was completely integrated into the park.

Hiking
Kamikochi is a very popular hiking destination, there are an abundance of mountain huts and camping sites that make overnight hiking easy to manage. The most famous hike in the area is Yarigatake which is easily accessible from Kamikochi and often combined with Oku-Hotaka as a multi-day hike.

History

Kamikōchi was logged extensively until the mid-19th Century. The Rev. Walter Weston, a British Anglican missionary, is credited through his writing with sparking interest in recreational mountaineering in Japan and also with lobbying to preserve the Kamikōchi area. Each year in June, the Weston Festival is celebrated at Kamikochi in recognition of his contribution to the conservation of the Northern Japan Alps.

Japanese novelist Ryunosuke Akutagawa also contributed to a boom in domestic tourism when he published his book Kappa in 1927.  The naming of the Kappa-Bashi, the narrow pedestrian suspension bridge over the Azusa River mentioned in the novel predates the book's publication.  The origin of the naming of the bridge is uncertain, but is more commonly thought to refer to Kappa, mythical water deities said to inhabit Japan's mountain streams and rivers.

'kanji 神垣内 (Kami-ko-uchi) were also used to write "Kamikōchi," but 上高地 (Kami-kō-chi'') has become the common way to write the name.

Park facilities include two camping areas, a number of hotels (western-style and traditional Japanese ryokan), a post office, a tourist information center and some souvenir shops, mainly located between the bus and taxi terminal and Kappa-bashi bridge.

Access and transportation
As the entire Kamikochi valley is protected as part of the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, road access is only granted to shuttle buses, taxis, forestry and maintenance workers' vehicles.  Private vehicles have been restricted from entering the park beyond the Kama Tunnel for both traffic management and environmental reasons since 1994. Private cars are required to park at either the Hirayu or Sawando parking area from where shuttle buses or taxis transport visitors directly to the centrally located park visitor center.

For rail passengers approaching from Matsumoto an integrated park transportation ticket is available using the Highland Rail service of the Kamikōchi Line to Shin-Shimashima rail terminal and then the Highland Bus service provided by Alpico Kōtsū.  The journey to the center of the park from Matsumoto Station by rail and shuttle bus takes approximately 1 hour 50 minutes.

Longer distance and overnight buses directly to the park are available from Tokyo (Shinjuku), Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka.

The park is officially open from mid-April to mid-November, with peak crowds during the summer school holidays (end of July through the end of August) and when the autumn leaves are at their peak in October.

Q: Python 3 ttk.Spinbox format option import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

root = tk.Tk()
style = ttk.Style()
style.theme_use('vista')

spinbox = ttk.Spinbox(root, from_=0, to=100, increment=5, format='%10.2f')
spinbox.set('{:10.2f} %'.format(0))  # default value

spinbox.pack()

root.minsize(400, 100)  # make window larger for ease of finding for this simple example
root.mainloop()

I would like to add a literal percent symbol to the ttk.Spinbox option format='%10.2f'. So when you increment or decrement the values there is always a % symbol displayed after the value. This seems painfully difficult to achieve and I presume it is me at fault missing something that is very simplistic/obvious. You can add any string here and it works but it does not work with a literal % symbol since the string value given to the option format contains a % symbol which it is required to have.
The first thing I tried was escaping the % symbol I want to display and it did not work, for example: format='%10.2f\\%'.
I have in my ability tried everything I can think of in the format option but I cannot show a % symbol. This is not a really an issue but would be a nice to have if anyone knows of a solution, thank you.

A: You could subclass ttk.Spinbox to alter its behavior, in order to display the format you wish, alongside a unit in the spinbox entry:
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

class FormattedSpinbox(ttk.Spinbox):
    """A ttk.Spinbox that displays a float with 2 decimals,
    alongside a '%' character unit
    """
    def __init__(self, master, **kwargs):
        kwargs['command'] = self.command
        super().__init__(master, **kwargs)
    def set(self, value):
        super().set(value)
        self.command()
    def get(self):
        return float(super().get().strip().split()[0])
    def command(self):
        value = self.get()
        self.delete(0, tk.END)
        self.insert(0, f'{float(value): 10.2f} %')

root = tk.Tk()

spinoptions = {'from_': 0, 'to': 100, 'increment': 5}
spinbox = FormattedSpinbox(root, **spinoptions)
spinbox.set(0)  # default value
spinbox.pack()

root.minsize(400, 100)
root.mainloop()

the widget looks like this:

Alternatively, if you wanted to parametrize the format, you could do like this. Note that str(value).format(format) is not entirely equivalent to f'{float(value): 10.2f} %'); the former does not add white space to fill the required width, and the number of decimals is at least one, up to the required number, if the value carries enough precision.
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

class FormattedSpinbox(ttk.Spinbox):
    """A ttk.Spinbox that displays a float with 2 decimals,
    alongside a '%' character unit
    """
    def __init__(self, master, **kwargs):
        kwargs['command'] = self.command
        super().__init__(master, **kwargs)
    def set(self, value):
        super().set(value)
        self.command()
    def get(self):
        return float(super().get().strip().split()[0])
    def command(self):
        value = self.get()
        self.delete(0, tk.END)
        svalue = str(value).format(format)
        self.insert(0, f'{svalue} %')

root = tk.Tk()

spinoptions = {'from_': 0, 'to': 100, 'increment': 5, 'format':'%10.2f'}
spinbox = FormattedSpinbox(root, **spinoptions)
spinbox.set(0)  # default value
spinbox.pack()

root.minsize(400, 100)
root.mainloop()

the widget appearance now is:

A: So I installed Python 3.7.3 and found a solution. You have to use %% in the format string to get a literal %. However, setting the initial value by e.g. spinbox.set(0.0) doesn't automatically apply the format, although the docs says it should.

A: I wanted to make one that works when a user types in the box or when they click on the spin button. It's not the most streamlined, but seems to work well enough.
class FormattingSpinBox(ttk.Spinbox):

    def __init__(self, master, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(master, from_=0, to=100, command=self.command, **kwargs)
        self.displayValue = 2.5
        self.registerValidation()

    def registerValidation(self):
        self.configure(validate='all', validatecommand=(self.register(self.validation), '%i', '%P', '%s', '%V'))

    def validation(self, index, text, previousText, eventType):
        if eventType == 'focusin':
            self.focusInValidation(text)
            return True

        if eventType == 'key':

            if int(index) >= len(text) - 1:
                self.focusInValidation(previousText)

            return True

        return True

    def focusInValidation(self, text):

        self.icursor(len(text) - 2)
        self.displayValue = self.value

    @property
    def displayValue(self):
        return self.get()

    @property
    def value(self):
        try:
            return float(self.get()[:-2])
        except ValueError:
            return 0

    @displayValue.setter
    def displayValue(self, val):
        self.set(f'{float(val):4.2f} %')

Q: jquery multiple append avoid increasing window size I have been working on the next example, I'm adding html to a div, at some point the size of the window start increasing, is there a way to avoid this?
example

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#b').click(function() {
    $('#elDiv').append('
Hello
');
  });
});

I would like to say:

<button id="b">click now</button>

A: I defined a style for the elDiv to be 100px height and scroll when content exceeds the div's height:
.myclass{
  height: 100px;
  overflow: auto;
}

Updated fiddle:  https://jsfiddle.net/9rysbxw2/18/

A: to avoid this behavio i think you should set a size to the  element and define a overflow behavior. So the content that is been added to the div will stay inside it. here is a modification of you code sample:

$('#b').click(function(){
    $( '#elDiv').append('
Hello
');
});

I would like to say:

 <button id="b">click now
 </button>

A: i resolved the issue using the style properties
position: absolute;
top: 20px;

this way i can add multiple div at any position without increasing the screen size

Candace Lynne "Candy" Lightner ( * 30 de mayo de 1946) es la organizadora y presidenta fundadora de Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). El 3 de mayo de 1980, la hija de 13 años de Lightner, Cari, fue asesinada por un cobarde conductor ebrio mientras caminaba por una suburbana calle en Fair Oaks, California. "I promised myself on the day of Cari's death that I would fight to make this needless homicide count for something positive in the years ahead", (Me prometí el día de la muerte de Cari que lucharía para hacer que este homicidio innecesario cuente para algo positivo en los años venideros), Candy Lightner escribió más adelante.

La clemencia de la sentencia dada al reincidente delincuente por driving while intoxicated (DWI) (conducir en estado de ebriedad) ultrajó a Lightner quien entonces organizó Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Posteriormente el nombre fue cambiado por Mothers Against Drunk Driving. El objetivo de su organización fue levantar la conciencia pública de la naturaleza seria de conducir ebrio y promover le resistente legislación contra el crimen.

Lightner apareció en importantes shows de televisión, previamente hablando con el Congreso de los EE. UU., dirigió grupos profesionales y de negocios, y trabajó incansablemente por años para cambiar la actitud pública, modificar el comportamiento judicial y promover la nueva y resistente legislación. Dejó MADD en 1985. Desde entonces se ha ido por criticar al grupo como "Neo-prohibicionista". Lightner ha indicado que MADD "has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I had ever wanted or envisioned … I didn't start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving" (ha llegado a ser más neo-prohibicionista de lo que yo había deseado o previsto … No empecé MADD para tratar con el alcohol. Empecé MADD para ocuparme de la cuestión de manejar en estado de ebriedad).

Candy Lightner es una receptora de los Presidents Volunteer Action Award, un doctorado honorario en humanidad y servicio público y fue el tema de una película made-for-television, "Mothers Against Drunk Drivers: the Candy Lightner story". Es la coautora (con Nancy Hathawayde)
Giving Sorrow Words.

Lightner, quien es mitad libanesa, también sirvió como presenta de American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee de octubre de 1994 a marzo de 1995.

ADITYA K. DHANYAAWALAYA or ADITYA KHAMVONGSA is a pen name of Dhadhchai Dhanyaawalaya, well-known as one of the outstanding of the new generation of creative contemporary Thai writers.
He was born on the 4th of November, 1984 in a small village in Udon Thani, in the north-eastern region of Thailand.
Learning by himself, he started writing poetry when he was thirteen years old.
In 2004, his poetry collection titled "Three Seasons", containing thirty-six quatrains, won the outstanding content award in Chulalongkorn University Literature Club's handmade book contest "I; Indy". He has been writing seriously ever since and has gone on to win many other literary awards.
In 2006, his first collection of short stories "Horridly Ever After" was published. This marked the official start of his writing journey.
In 2009, Aditya and other young writers gathered to form the "Young Thai" group to publish short stories and poems, and to hold the Indy Short Story Awards to enliven the young writers' circle (the contest is still ongoing).
In 2013, Aditya established ArtyHOUSE Publishing, with the goal of publishing contemporary literature of Thai writers.
In 2019, Aditya was elected a member of the Foreign Relations Department in the board of directors of Thai Writers Association for 2019-2021. He aims to bring Thai literary works to international recognition.
Aditya K. Dhanyaawalaya continually finds new and diverse interests, finding particular pleasure in photography. He has won awards from many international photography competitions under the name Arty Dhanyaawalaya. He also likes cooking, creating arts, playing music, and gardening.

Q: Q: Google Sheet returns value based on cell and ture false I have created a Google Sheet as shown below.

What I need is to update the result automatically. For example, Paul passed the Lvl1 exam, C2 will automatically show 1. If Ben failed the exam, C4 will show 0. Also, if I sorted the sheet by date which will be added, can I still get the correct data?
=iferror(ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(D2:D1000,SMALL(IF(E2:E1000=TRUE,ROW(C2:C1000)-ROW(C2)+1),1))), )

I used this and it shows the correct level on first passed result. What should I do to achieve my goal?

A: If you still need to sort this, try ARRAYFORMULA.
Clear column C, then add this in cell C1:
=arrayformula(if(row($E1:$E)=1,"Level",if($E1:$E="","",if($E1:$E=true,1,0))))
It will cascade the formulas down, and even let you sort the range provided you have created a filter with row 1 as the header.


Poker tournaments are the new rage in online poker, and are also the focus of the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. Every online poker site offers poker tournaments in multiple forms and fashions, but the most popular tournaments are No Limit Hold'em tournaments. In a No Limit Hold'em tournament, each player receives the same amount of chips and then plays until only one player has every single chip. To force action, the tournament raises blinds and implements antes to put pressure on every player's stack.

One of the most important skills in a poker tournament is to be able to adjust your strategy as the tournament progresses. As you get deeper and deeper into the tournament, blinds and antes will place increased pressure on your stack, which will force you to adjust your play accordingly. This is far different from a cash table, where you can just add on more chips to your stack at any time. Once blinds reach an extremely high level, you will have to steal blinds and antes just to survive.
One factor that many players overlook in a poker tournament is taking account of your opponents' stack sizes. As you get deep in a tournament, stack size becomes just as important as position or player skill. When stealing blinds, always target the middle stacks, because short stacks are forced to make moves, and big stacks will often play pots just to try to knock players out. Middle stacks, on the other hand, are just trying to advance in the pay brackets.

Former Thug Who Found Judaism Hopes to be First African-American in the Knesset
WebmasterMatzav.com, May 20, 2011
Marcus Hardie grew up in an African-American community in Los Angeles, where his nickname was "American Thug."
"I was a tough gangster," he says.
But after a religious awakening that brought him to Judaism and eventually led him to immigrate to Israel, his street name changed to "American Faith." In his recently published autobiography, Hardie recounts his journey from the streets of an inner-city ghetto in California to Israeli yeshivos, Ehud Olmert's office and the battlefields of the second intifada.
He already knows which Hollywood stars he wants to play his character if his memoirs are turned into a movie. Currently working as a lawyer in California, he is planning to return to Israel soon, with one specific goal: election to the Knesset.
"I was raised by my grandmother – she was a religious Christian and used to anoint my head with oil and give me blessings," Hardie, 39, told Anglo File recently during a phone interview. A "troubled youth in America's violent inner city," as he described himself, Hardie joined a gang his cousin had started. But after his cousin died during a burglary, Hardie quit the gang life and looked for meaning elsewhere.
"I became interested in the Jewish tradition because my grandmother had me reading the Bible. I read about the Jews coming out of Egypt and I became interested in the people of Israel," he recalled. "After I got into college I started talking to a rabbi and he questioned me about why I was interested in Jewish tradition. I told him that I was interested in being a part of the chosen people."
Hardie underwent three conversions: first with Reform, then with Conservative and finally, in 1997, with Orthodox rabbis. After graduating law school, he worked for California Governor Pete Wilson.
In 1999, Hardie immigrated to Israel, a country he had visited only once before. For about six months, he studied at a Yerushalayim yeshiva and interned for Ehud Olmert, who was then the capital's mayor.
In 2000, the 26-year-old Hardie enrolled in the Israel Defense Forces' elite Golani Brigade.
"I was getting fired upon at one point in Jenin," he recalled. "It was pretty dangerous stuff."
Because he was a lawyer, Hardie was transferred to the army's legal department. "But after six months of being a jobnik," he said, using army slang for non-combat soldiers, "I decided I wanted to do more combat."
He was transferred to the army's armored division, where he drove and loaded tanks near Israel's northern borders and later manned checkpoints in the West Bank.
After the army, Hardie moved to Bnei Brak to work as a security guard.
"I lived among the yeshivos, the charedim and I was learning Torah too," Hardie said.
While he had adopted an Orthodox lifestyle back in 1997, he became even more religious in Bnei Brak. "One of my favorite cities in Israel to this day is still Bnei Brak. I love Orthodox Jews and the Jewish community there. I love spending time with the rabbis, I love davening and praying."
In 2004, Hardie returned to America.
"Although I'm back in the U.S., I still consider myself Israeli and I still study Torah every day," Hardie said. "I'm both American and Israeli. But I'd say I feel more Israeli."
That feeling figures in his plans to return to Israel in the next two years and get involved in politics.
"I want to become the first African-American member of Knesset," he said. "I think I can do it because I served in the army, I did reserve duty, I speak Hebrew, I'm a member of Likud and I'm still active in politics," he said.
Hardie is currently working on a Middle East peace plan, which calls for a de-militarized Palestinian state with Ramallah as its capital.
In the meantime, Hardie is looking for Hollywood producers interested in turning his 320-page autobiography "Black and Bulletproof: An African-American Warrior in the Israeli Army," published last year by New Horizon Press, into a movie.

The battle for No.3 Post (28–30 May 1915) was fought during the Gallipoli Campaign in the First World War, between the forces of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade and the Turkish 19th Division.

The New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade was responsible for the defence of the northern perimeter of the ANZAC beach-head, holding a sector from the position known as Walker's Top down the ridge line to the sea. Part of this defence line was formed by No.1 and No.2 Posts, isolated positions in the far north that could only be approached in safety during the hours of darkness. Near the end of May 1915, the Turks started constructing a new position just inland from No.2 Post, that if left to be completed would cause problems for the New Zealanders. Therefore, it was decided to assault and capture the post. After the position was captured, it was named No.3 Post, and the New Zealanders settled in and attempted to improve its defences. The same night, the Turks counter-attacked. Surrounded and cut off from the rest of the brigade, running short of ammunition and supplies, the defending 9th (Wellington East Coast) Squadron held out for twenty-eight hours until relieved, and beat off several attempts to break through their lines. When the squadron was eventually relieved it was decided the post was untenable, and it was abandoned the same night.

The New Zealand Mounted Brigade's casualties during the battle were forty-two dead and 109 wounded. The exact number of Turkish casualties is not known but was around two hundred men. The New Zealand brigade went on to fight in the Battle of Chunuk Bair and the Battle of Hill 60, and was then evacuated from the peninsula before the campaign ended in December 1915.

Background

ANZAC landings
On 25 April, at the start of the Gallipoli Campaign, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at what later became known as Anzac Cove. Included in the landings was the New Zealand and Australian Division, but the division had been forced to leave part of its strength, including the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, behind in Egypt. The commanders believed there would be no requirement or opportunities for mounted troops on the peninsula. However, heavy casualties, and the lack of any other reinforcements, forced them to reconsider the decision, and the mounted troops were later dispatched to Gallipoli to serve in a dismounted role.

New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade
Under the command of Brigadier-General Andrew Russell, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade was raised in August 1914 and consisted of three regiments of mounted infantry. While the brigade had an establishment of 1,940 men, when dismounted its rifle strength was only the equivalent of an infantry battalion. Each of the brigade's regiments was formed from three squadrons, each of 158 men organised into a headquarters and four troops.

When the brigade arrived in Egypt, it came under the command of the newly formed New Zealand and Australian Division. In April 1915, the division's infantry units left Egypt for an undisclosed destination, and it was not until 1 May that the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade learned about the Gallipoli landings. Four days later the brigade received news that it would also deploy, as reinforcements, to Gallipoli, but in a dismounted role without their horses. They arrived off the Gallipoli peninsula on 12 May, and disembarked at Anzac Cove. The next day, the brigade moved into the front line on the northern left flank, relieving the Royal Naval Brigade. Their trenches stretched from the Aegean Sea to Walker's Ridge, and included two outposts, No.1 Post and No.2 Post. The latter position was the beach-head's most northern position, situated only  from Chatham's Post, which was the southernmost point. The outlying position of the two posts meant that movement between them and the main lines could only be undertaken safely at night. The brigade deployed with the Canterbury Mounted Rifles on the left, the Auckland Mounted Rifles in the centre, and the Wellington Mounted Rifles on the right.

Turkish forces
The First World War Ottoman Turkish Army was badly underestimated by the Allies. During the war it would defeat forces from the British, French and Russian armies. Before the landings Gallipoli was defended by several divisions, based on infantry battalion strong-points overlooking potential landing beaches. By April 1915, the Turks had 82 fixed and 230 mobile artillery pieces on the peninsula.

In May 1915, the Turkish force that would confront the New Zealanders was provided by the 19th Division, comprising the 57th, 72nd and 77th Infantry Regiments, all under the command of Colonel Mustafa Kemal. Kemal was noted as "the most imaginative, most successful officer to fight on either side" during the Gallipoli Campaign. How the Turks viewed the invasion can be judged by Kemal's orders to his troops following the initial landings; "Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place."

Virtually all the Turkish Army commanders, down to company commander level, were very experienced, being veterans of the Balkan Wars. But their command structure was weaker at the non-commissioned officer (NCO) level, with only one NCO in each company. One advantage that the Turkish Army had over the New Zealanders, at the time, was their hand grenades, which were not used by the British forces.

No.3 Post

Capture

After an abortive Turkish attack in early May, from the middle of the month the New Zealanders observed their opponents improving their defensive positions. One position in particular was started overnight on 26/27 May, at the foot of the ridge that led down to No.2 Post and only  from it. It gave the New Zealanders cause for concern, and therefore it was decided that the position must be captured and denied to the Turks.

Plans for the assault were formed, and the task was given to the 1st (Canterbury Yeomanry Cavalry) Squadron of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, commanded by Major Percy Acton-Adams. On 28 May, the squadron was concentrated at No.2 Post and at 22:00 left the post to capture the Turkish position. By 23:30, after advancing along the ridge, they arrived and with only slight opposition drove off the twenty Turkish defenders at a cost of one dead and five wounded. They were followed up by the 6th (Manawatu) Squadron from the Wellington Mounted Rifles, who carried entrenching tools to improve the defences and would then garrison the position, now named No.3 Post.

The 6th Squadron, who had orders to "hold the post until relieved", started constructing defences against a Turkish counter-attack, which would not be easy as the post was surrounded on three sides by the Turks. After sunrise on 29 May the squadron was in full view of the Turks and they were engaged by small arms and artillery fire. They were forced to take cover and stop building defences. That night at 21:00 the 6th Squadron was relieved by three troops (nine officers and ninety-three other ranks) of the 9th (Wellington East Coast) Squadron, Wellington Mounted Rifles, commanded by Major Selwyn Chambers.

Defence
Chambers and his second in command, Captain Charles Spragg, immediately set about constructing a defensive trench across the post, and strengthening its other defences. But by now the Turks, from the 72nd Infantry Regiment, about 1,000-strong, had managed to use the terrain and darkness to close in on the position. At 22:00 Chambers reported that the position was under attack and surrounded, and at 23:35 the telephone line to headquarters was cut by the Turks. The area in front of No.3 Post was in a gully and out of sight to the defenders, so they had to climb on the trench parapet to engage the Turks. This tactic worked well, and they broke up the Turkish assault, causing the attackers some casualties. The Turks did not withdraw far, and crept up to the edge of the New Zealanders' trench during the night. They then threw hand grenades into the New Zealanders' position. At the same time, small arms fire from the surrounding Turkish positions pinned the New Zealanders down.

Just after midnight the New Zealanders sent the 2nd (Wellington West Coast) Squadron, commanded by Major James McGregor Elmslie, forward to reinforce the 9th Squadron. But by itself the 2nd Squadron was not strong enough to break through the Turkish lines and reach the post, and at times they had to engage in close quarter fighting in the thick scrub. Eventually the 2nd Squadron had to form their own defensive position in the ground between No.2 and No.3 Posts.

At 03:00, just before dawn, Spragg took command of the trench in the southern sector of No.3 Post, opposite where the Turks appeared to be gathering their forces to assault the post. He successfully deployed his men so that when the attack began, it was met and broken up by the New Zealanders' small arms fire. But by 03:30 the post was under sustained Turkish rifle and grenade attack and the relieving 2nd Squadron was still held up on a ridge to the south of the post. Between them and No.3 Post was a strong Turkish force which had dug in and were in communication with the Turkish attackers in the gully to the north of the post. However, the 2nd Squadron could now bring their own small arms fire onto the Turks attacking No.3 Post, making them keep their heads down. At daylight Elmslie led a troop in an attack which captured a Turkish trench to the left of the post. At 06:30 communications were re-established with No.3 Post by using signal flags, and Allied artillery were able to bring harassing fire onto the Turkish communications trenches. But by now the defenders were running short of supplies, especially ammunition, and no one could be spared to look after the wounded, who had to see to themselves.

The 6th Squadron, commanded by Major Charles Dick, were also sent forward to support the 2nd Squadron's attempt to break through to the post. Advancing along the ridge from No.2 Post, they reached a position on the open plateau to the north of No.3 Post, but neither of the relieving squadrons could break through the Turkish lines, and were confronted by heavy Turkish fire from the surrounding higher ground. They were blocked by the sheer number of Turkish troops. Around noon the Turks undermined and blew up part of the trench at No.3 Post, which they then occupied. Turkish attacks continued all day, and they brought into action a mountain artillery gun from a nearby position. It was now estimated that around 3,000 Turkish troops were involved in the assault on No.3 Post.

Unable to break through to No.3 Post during the day, the New Zealanders decided to wait for nightfall to make another attempt. At the same time the Canterbury Mounted Rifles were warned they would have to provide two squadrons to take over the defence, once the 9th Squadron had been relieved. During this time the Turks had not given up their attempts to recapture the post. At 19:00 Chambers signalled that the "repeated bombing of the trenches on the northern side of the post had resulted in a portion of the trenches being damaged, to such an extent that he could no longer prevent the enemy from getting in." This was followed ten minutes later with a message that the Turks had occupied the trenches in the north of the post. Around the same time the 6th Squadron, advancing from the south, had managed to get to within  of the post before being pinned down. Even though they now had fire support from a mountain artillery battery and a British destroyer, HMS Rattlesnake, they were unable to advance any further. As darkness approached the Turkish attacks lessened, and at 22:30, covered by the 2nd and 6th Squadrons, the 10th (Nelson) Squadron and two troops from the 8th (South Canterbury) Squadron from the Canterbury Mounted Rifles managed to break through to No.3 Post. By 23:00 the 9th Squadron's survivors had been evacuated and the Canterbury Regiment had taken over the defence of the post. An hour later the 2nd and 6th Squadrons were withdrawn back to the brigade lines. Shortly after the relief, it was decided that the post was untenable and it was abandoned. While the Canterburys were withdrawing south towards No.1 Post they were attacked by the Turks. The New Zealanders turned and opened fire, then counter-attacked in a bayonet charge, forcing the Turks to withdraw before re-occupying No.3 Post. The 9th Squadron had held out for twenty-eight hours, during which the brigade had lost forty-two men killed and 109 wounded, the vast majority from 9th Squadron. Turkish casualties were around two hundred men.

Aftermath
The battle for No.3 Post seemed a major event to those involved, but in General Ian Hamilton's dispatches the fight only received a brief mention: "On 28 May, at 9 p.m., a raid was made on a Turkish post overlooking the beach 1,200 yards north of Kaba Tepe, H.M.S. "Rattlesnake" co-operating. A party of 50 rifles rushed the post, killing or capturing the occupants. A similar raid was made against an enemy trench to the left of our line which cost the Turks 200 casualties, as was afterwards ascertained."

The battle for No.3 Post cost the New Zealanders forty-two dead and 109 wounded. The brigade fought another two battles at Gallipoli: the Battle of Chunuk Bair, and the Battle of Hill 60. Their involvement in these battles proved costly, and in September 1915, with a strength of only 249 men, they left the peninsula for the rest camp on the island of Lemnos. During the campaign, 4,000 men served in the brigade; 727 of those were killed and 1,239 wounded, which equates to a casualty rate of almost fifty per cent. Amongst the dead were Chambers – the commander of the 9th Squadron – and Elmslie of the 6th Squadron. Both survived the battle for No.3 Post, but not the campaign, and were killed in action in August 1915 during the Battle of Chunuk Bair. Like many other New Zealanders, neither have a known grave, and they are therefore commemorated on the Chunuk Bair Memorial. The adjacent Commonwealth War Graves Commission Chunuk Bair Cemetery has 632 graves of which only ten men have been identified. During the 260 days of the Gallipoli Campaign, a total of 2,721 New Zealand soldiers were killed and another 4,852 wounded, out of the total 8,556 New Zealanders who took part. The exact number of Turkish casualties at Gallipoli is not known, but has been estimated at 87,000 dead, from a total of around 250,000 casualties.

The war between the British and Ottoman Turkish Empires ended on 31 October 1918, following the signing of the Armistice of Mudros. In November, the Canterbury Mounted Rifles were selected to be part of the Allied force of occupation for the Dardanelles peninsula. During their time there they took the opportunity to look for and bury the brigade's war dead. Kemal, the commander of the Turkish 19th Division, survived the war. Following the Turkish War of Independence he became known as Atatürk (Father of the Turks) and became the first president of the new Republic of Turkey, where he is acknowledged as the nation's "founding father".

GIVIT provided Big W and fuel vouchers to Peppercorn Services who were providing the support to the Wilberforce Caravan Park residents in the Hawkesbury region.
These residents were all evacuated with many of them losing all their possessions. These vouchers enabled these residents to purchase basic essential needs whilst they were staying in emergency and temporary accommodation.
Peppercorn have also been able to receive many donated items through the Virtual Warehouse via public donations. These included, dining tables and chairs, cupboards, tv units, microwaves, coffee tables, lounge suites and bedroom furniture.
One particular young man who lived in the Park and lost everything was provided with permanent accommodation and needed a fridge and washing machine. With donated funds GIVIT was able to purchase these items and help this young man begin to rebuild his life.
Making a house a home again
An Elderly Taree widow had her marital home flooded. She was still grieving the loss of her husband and was struggling with the scale of loss losing her material possessions.
She was moved to emergency accommodation and needed help get her home fit for occupation again.
The recipient spent 4 months in a motel and was finally able to move back home with the help of GIVIT who provided a new bed and bedding, a washing machine, rugs and flooring, clothing and fuel.
GIVIT to assist Nambucca Valley Council
The community of South Arm, west of Macksville, was cut off last week and desperately needed supplies.
Nambucca Valley Council contacted GIVIT for urgent assistance. They requested $3,000 worth of grocery vouchers and $3,000 worth of fuel vouchers to provide to local residents who were, in that moment, still stranded.
GIVIT immediately met this request thanks to the incredible response we've had from big-hearted Aussies.
Helping the town, helping the residents
With increased awareness of the GIVIT program immediately following the ABC Radio telethon, GIVIT was able to utilise some of the funds raised to purchase vouchers from the Wisemans Ferry Grocery which Hawkesbury City Council were able to distribute to local residents they were supporting.
This was a double boost that assisted not only residents affected by the floods, but also the communities' only grocer who also suffered along with the local residents.
Warming the house and heart
An elderly couple from Yowrie lived in 2 caravans in a small bush block.
During the 19/20 fires, both caravans were destroyed as was their car. In the aftermath of this disaster, they built a small breeze block home to live in.
This was all followed by flooding as well as coping with a mice plague this year.
To provide some comfort in the depth of winter when their house would drop to unbearable temperatures, GIVIT provided a heater which has made the world of difference.
Stories of many who received vital items with help from our Partners
Flooded family in remote NSW
A family was severely impacted by the floods in a very remote area who were without power and completely cut off for 12 days. They had very little food and water and no power or generator. Both of their cars have been written off completely and have lost animals, belongings and damage to entire property. They were helped with some vouchers thanks to donations received by Coles to GIVIT.
A 91yr old mothers home destroyed
The granny flat where a retired couple cared for their 91 year old mother was destroyed. They needed help to repair the property so she could return after such a distressing time away from her home. Thank you to our partners NAB who helped support this family in need.
Vouchers for the Hawksbury Community
Many residents in the Hawkesbury region were severely impacted by the recent flooding and needed immediate and ongoing support for all essentials. The community was completely cut off and residents were in great need for the basics and essentials. Many vouchers were supplied to support the community so they had control over what they received in these early stages of recovery. Thank you to our partners Coles who helped support this community in need.
Family of 6 with daughter who has leukaemia lost all their contents and personal belongings in Severe NSW Flooding
Lovely family with 4 children who are still seeking treatment after daughters battle with leukemia, have now lost their entire contents and belongings when their rental property was inundated by the Mid North Coast Floods. As they moved to a new rental, they needed everything replaced. A Bunnings voucher was purchased to help this family get set up in their new home. Thank you to our partners Coles who helped support this family in need.
Thanks from support organisations and recipients
The Hon. John Barilaro MP, Deputy Premier of New South Wales.
"What GIVIT does really well is connect the two [items and recipients] without storing; I might have a fridge that I want to get rid of and there's someone who has a need for a fridge, well guess what they [GIVIT] connect and get it delivered. It's a really good platform."
Shane Fitzsimmons ASFM, Commissioner of Resilience New South Wales
"The partnership that we've got as government with GIVIT is just so critical. It's that ability to identify, source and match directly which is the real strength of the GIVIT connection and we're really proud to have a partnership with them because it's making a discernible, meaningful, personal difference to all those impacted and affected in these local community areas."
GIVIT donation recipient, at Wilberforce Recovery Hub
"This is the best day I have had in 4 weeks and it has put a smile on my face. I feel hopeful for the first time since the flood."
Jenna O'Connell, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council
"These donations are making such a huge impact on flood impacted residents in towns like my own, and I know this appeal will continue to make life-changing differences to so many."
Give Dignity Donation Drive
"We are incredibly grateful to have received the support of GIVIT in expanding the reach of our Give Dignity Donation Drive. The donations were appreciated by the community members and brought a smile to many faces. Thank you GIVIT for providing this opportunity to reach success in our donation drive and to support our community members"
Dunbogan NSW resident
"I have never had to ask for anything in my life but after our home was badly damaged by the flood, I agreed to accept help. We received a Bunnings voucher that enabled us to buy plaster, paint, doors and all the timber trims. I cried but this time it was of joy. I could see that there was a way forward. And four weeks later I was tucking the girls into bed in their own bedrooms again."

Road Boss Rally - Gundi to Gundi via the Gully


A Chinese activist who has been living at Japan's Narita International Airport since November last year has finally been allowed to return home.
Feng Zhenghu was being held in the airport after the ruling Chinese Communist Party said he was not allowed to return to China due to his views on human rights in his home nation.
He has spent the last 90 days sleeping on an airport bench and his plight has attracted worldwide focus. His Twitter account now has some 14,000 followers.
Commenting on being able to leave the airport, he told the Guardian he was looking forward to visiting his mother, who is 90.

Opus House Base Build was a 5 storey Green Star equivalent office new build incorporating double skin structural façade structural glazing. The offices were open plan with central core lifts and feature stairwells.
Watts & Hughes worked closely with Nebulite to complete the design portion of the double skin façade. This included assessment of wind loadings specific to the Canterbury region and fixing details to the existing structure.
Opus as tenant, required high end architectural finishes to the fitout of the building. This incorporated the use of coreten steel, cedars, designer green walls and the like.
This project consisted of the construction of a new office and warehouse development.

Hard work and renewed focus translate to All-Star nod for Lafayette's Harmony Jackson
Published 8:00 am Friday, January 13, 2023

Lafayette's Harmony Jackson (24) drives to the rim against Oxford's Zoe Metcalf (14) and Alexis Ivy (22) in the basketball edition of the Crosstown Classic on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022. Lafayette won 47-44. (Claire Anne Pugh/CMG)
Harmony Jackson just needed confidence.
The Lafayette junior was a key contributor to the Lady Commodores' success in each of the past two seasons, but took her game to a new level this year as she embraced a larger role with the team.
The key to her newfound success? Confidence.
"When I looked back on my last two years playing varsity I didn't see a lot of confidence so I promised myself this year that during volleyball, during basketball, during track that I would have total confidence in me and my teammates." Jackson said.
That increased level of confidence has translated to remarkable success on the court, where Jackson has nearly doubled her scoring average from last season.
The 5-foot-8 wing is averaging over 10 points per contest this season compared to just 5.9 per game last year, attacking the basket with relentless intensity and getting to the rim seemingly whenever she wants.
She has also been more efficient from the field, shooting nearly 51% from the field this season after making just 40% of her attempts last year.
Jackson said confidence was the major factor in her success this season, but added that her time spent in the gym this offseason and a general refocusing of her priorities also played a key role in her remarkable progress.
"I worked out my upper body a bit [this offseason] because my upper body was very weak last year, " Jackson said. "I would zone everybody out and only focus on me."
She added she also stopped going out with her friends as much this year, instead spending more time in the gym and building relationships with teammates.
Her dedication to her craft paid dividends this week, when she was selected to participate in the Mississippi Association of Coaches North/South All-Star Game as a member of the North roster.
Jackson said the selection came as a shock.
She wasn't sure how to process the emotions going through her head at first, but quickly settled down and allowed herself to enjoy the moment.
"There were a lot of emotions going through my head but I was excited," she said. "All I thought about was 'everybody else is talented so what if I sit the bench the whole game?' Then I just stopped thinking about it and was like 'I made the All-Star team, what am I talking about?' Even if I don't play, I made the team."
Jackson's selection marked the second straight year that a Lafayette athlete was selected to participate in the North/South game after Mariah Reed-Jones was selected to participate in last year's contest.
Jackson and the rest of the all star selections will compete in the 2023 North/South game at A.E. Wood Coliseum in Clinton on March 18.
