One of the most fulfilling MBA experiences for Pondpat was her participation in the Capstone online business simulation, where her team finished in the 99th percentile.
Pondpat Tohsanguanpun chose Maharishi University of Management's MBA for Accounting Professionals Program because her goal was to gain work experience in the U.S.
Pondpat earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Thammasat University in Thailand and worked for Ernst & Young Thailand for three years as a senior auditor. When she learned about Maharishi University of Management (MUM) from a family friend, she decided to apply.
In the accounting program, she has learned that business is not all about the bottom line, and sustainable businesses need to foster collaboration among all their departments.
One of her most fulfilling MBA experiences was her participation in the Capstone online business simulation, where her team finished in the 99th percentile.
She also had a chance to practice her payroll skills during a five-month internship with Vanguard Resource Group in Fairfield. After finishing her on-campus studies, Pondpat hopes to find a paid internship in auditing.
Pondpat sees the future of accounting moving towards increased computerization, so her long-term goal is to specialize in integrated financial management software such as the SAP enterprise resource planning software, which is one of the Accounting MBA specializations at MUM.


Or, in other words, IE 11 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Configure IE to "Start with tabs from last session"
When asked if you want the installer to close IE for you, choose "yes"
When the installation is complete, start IE again.
All the tabs that were open before have vanished without a trace.
The tabs should have been remembered, and IE should have at least *offered* to open them again (as I believe it does when e.g. Windows Update forces a reboot).

How "Veep" predicted the election chaos of 2020 and how "Count the Votes" protests
By Jonathan Edwards on November 11, 2020 Health & Wellness
In a case where life imitates art, an episode of Veep predicted some of the chaos of the 2020 election, especially the protesters at the counting centers.
A number of Twitter users have pointed out that an episode of the satirical political comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus directly reflects what is happening in the news right now as the election results are hanging in the balance.
The episode in question is from the fifth season of the series and was first broadcast in 2016.
The episode, titled "Nev-AD-a," follows campaign workers in Carson City, Nevada, in the hope that a recount will be broadcast nationwide in an effort to win Louis-Dreyfus' character Selina as president.
The fictitious presidential candidate has won the popular vote but needs the votes of Nevada's voters and therefore demands a recount in the belief that it will help her win the election.
The next two episodes follow protesters, who were put together by Selina's team and chant "Count each vote" or "Stop the vote count," depending on the latest information and what will help her campaign at this time.
When Selina finds out that absent military ballots are ruining her chances of winning, she orders her team to stop the recount: "They'll stop this recount like Anne Frank's bat mitzvah," she shouts, "I'm tired of losing things!
Back in the real world in 2020, Trump supporters in Arizona are chanting "count the votes" while in Michigan they are demanding "stop the count.
The uncanny similarities between the TV show and the real election coverage that is happening before our eyes has sparked a conversation on Twitter as people try to understand how a silly political satire has become real life.
One of these people is the veep show runner David Mandel, who tweeted: "Life imitates art and then beats the s*** out of it with a crowbar. #veep."
He also joked: "And yet we have never won a Golden Globe."
And yet we never won a Golden Globe. #veep https://t.co/ZIImuHeZOD
– David Mandel (@DavidHMandel) November 5, 2020
The Veep itself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, also responded to a fan tweet about the episode.
Really. https://t.co/TjTRWmStha
– Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@Official JLD) November 5, 2020
Another person tweeted clips from the Pro Trump protests: "This is a veep episode. Just like there was a veep episode where a campaign did just that".

– Alex Kirshner (@alex_kirshner) November 5, 2020
Meanwhile, New York Magazine columnist Josh Barro tweeted: "It's like the plot of Veep, where they try to get a recount in Nevada, and then they realize right at the beginning of the trial that a recount will be bad for them, so they start arguing against the recount.

Another person observed: "Reality and the Veep venn diagram are now one.

Pellissippi State to host Cuban literacy campaign speaker
by Brian Galloway | posted in: International Students, Magnolia Avenue Campus, Students | 0
Pellissippi State Community College will host Griselda Aguilera Cabrera for three events on Wednesday, Feb. 21, on the Magnolia Avenue Campus.
Cabrera will give three presentations: two eight-minute showings of the documentary film "Maestra" at 8:35 a.m. and 9:40 a.m., followed respectively by a Spanish-only presentation and an English-interpreted Spanish presentation. Cabrera also will host a full-length, 35-minute showing of "Maestra" from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by a question and answer session. Cabrera will be accompanied by Catherine Murphy, the director of "Maestra."
All events will be in the Community Room on the Magnolia Avenue Campus, 1610 E. Magnolia Ave.
Cabrera was featured in the movie "Maestra," a documentary film about the Cuban literacy campaign that virtually ended adult illiteracy in 1961. Only seven years old, Cabrera was one of the youngest volunteers in that campaign. Now retired from her career as an educator, she is involved in the Cuban Psychology Society's Working Group on Identity and Diversity, participating in workshops and activities concerning homophobia, prejudice against people with HIV/AIDS, racial discrimination and domestic violence.

Perhaps you are interested in learning how to play guitar, or maybe you are buying a guitar as a gift for someone and don't know where to start. Either way, Music 440 can help. We have been in business for 15 years and sell a wide range of guitars, including acoustic guitars, acoustic electric guitars, electric guitars, and classical guitars. If you are in the market for any acoustic guitar, we can help you pick the perfect instrument for your budget, needs, and preferences.
At Music 440, we make it easy to buy acoustic guitars online. However, if you are shopping for your first guitar, you might want a bit more guidance and customer service than you typically get with online shopping. Music 440 has people standing by to help. We are not just an online business: in addition to our e-commerce store, we have a physical music shop in Brisbane. The employees at our Brisbane store are extremely knowledgeable and can help guide you toward the right instrument whether you stop in for a visit or just give us a phone call.
The biggest question to ask is, which type of instrument are you hoping to play? To answer this, you might start by thinking about the kind of music you like best. If you like folk music or acoustic singer/songwriter jams, then a standard acoustic guitar is best for you. If you prefer traditional, classical music, or maybe flamenco guitar playing, then a classical nylon string guitar is a good option. Nylon string guitars are also fantastic for learning, because the strings are a bit softer and easier to play. This point is especially helpful for young learners.
Acoustic electric guitars are great if you are looking for versatility or will be using the instrument to perform live. It's a nice option to have an acoustic guitar that can plug into an amplifier. You can always hook your guitar up to an amplification system by purchasing pickups later, but acoustic electric models simplify things in this department.
At Music 440, we have acoustic guitars on sale in all these categories at a range of different price points. If you still aren't sure which type is right for you, we would be happy to give you some advice. Our guitars run the range of brands from big name companies (acclaimed brands like Martin, Maton, and Cort) to lesser-known manufacturers.
The best thing about shopping at Music 440 is that you can always rely on quality when browsing our acoustic guitars on sale. We only sell guitars that we would be willing to play ourselves, which means every guitar we stock meets a quality benchmark set by passionate long-time guitar fanatics. This factor makes shopping for your first guitar a lot easier. Since we don't stock any poor-quality products, you can buy with more peace of mind.
With that said, we would be happy to advise you about our selection of acoustic guitars online or at our Brisbane store. Give us a call today to speak to one of our sales associates.
