Julia Westfall: Building a Community of Women
Julia Westfall could easily have coasted to retirement. She was 59 years old and had a good job as director of finance and human resources for a marketing and communications company in Bethesda, Maryland. Her twin daughters had started college. She absolutely could have coasted.
But then Westfall read an article about something called Hera Hub and was intrigued. It sounded like the sort of thing she wanted to be involved in. "I wasn't really interested in retiring; it wasn't something my husband and I ever talked about, other than planning for it financially. I always saw retirement as something far off in the future, regardless of my age."
So Westfall began doing some research early last year on Hera Hub – a work and meeting space where women could connect and collaborate – and then reached out to its owner, Felena Hanson, who is based in San Diego County. Many Hera Hub members are professionals who had previously worked from home but found it isolating, or wanted to continue working at home part-time but also needed a space to hold meetings or meet with clients one-on-one. Westfall learned Hera Hub has three established locations in California, but more importantly, Hanson was offering franchise opportunities.
Westfall continued to do her due diligence. She scrutinized her own finances, had a franchise attorney look at the contract, and even went to San Diego to meet Hanson and tour the Hera Hub locations. Impressed with what she found, she signed the franchise agreement after three short months.
"This struck me as an amazing opportunity to do something to help women in small business. I've worked with a lot of small businesses over the years and gotten a great education along the way. At this point in my career, Hera Hub seemed like a really exciting way to use that experience."
Westfall admits there have been some who questioned her decision to buy a franchise rather than starting her own business. She responds, "I didn't want to do all that branding work; reinventing the wheel. I found an existing opportunity that really suits me and my vision. I'm all about taking advantage of what someone else has done and using what they've learned. The franchise option was very attractive to me."
But Westfall is still a trailblazer, as the Washington DC space is the first franchise for Hera Hub. "That intrigued me, too. I kind of like being first at things. It's a challenge and I feel like I can make a difference for the people coming up behind me."
Signing the franchise agreement was only the first step, after which the real work began. Westfall needed to find a location for the business and also to build brand awareness and educate people on the concept of shared workspace. When it became obvious that finding the right space wasn't going to be easy, Westfall decided to open a temporary location so she could get started as soon as possible.
Westfall recently signed a lease for her permanent location in the Friendship Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. Hera Hub refers to its décor as "spa-inspired," but don't show up expecting a pedicure. The space is serene, quiet, and conducive to working, and private offices and meeting rooms can be reserved as needed.
Hera Hub also hosts evening workshops, programs, and events, where members come together as a community to learn from and support each other to the extent that they choose to.
"It's a great group of women," Westfall says of her founding members. "One is an artist. Another woman has a proofreading and editing company. There's a website designer, an art curator, a business coach, a woman starting her own private equity firm. That's what's so great about Hera Hub – it's real mix. This gives us the opportunity to make connections, support each other, and pass along some individual perspective."
Eventually, Westfall would like to have about 120-150 members of different membership levels. At that point, she
Julia with member and artist Diana Ludet
would consider opening other Hera Hub offices in the DC metro area.
Westfall reflects on her age and why she isn't ready to retire. "The advantage of me being 60 is that I've already done so many things, and your experiences make you who you are. I don't think I would be as successful if I had done this at 40. I would have missed 20 years of experience. This is the right time for me. Also, being older, my husband and I have had the chance to establish ourselves financially.
"I've also had people ask if I'm buying this business for my daughters. I'm not. Sure, if they get out of college and are interested and have something to offer I would welcome them, but this business is for me. Although I guess I do want them to know that they can do whatever they want to do, at whatever age they happen to be."
And for Westfall, Hera Hub can open doors at any age. "You always know that these amazing women are out there – especially in an area like Washington DC – but now I get to actually build relationships with them. That's where I'm getting the most benefit – getting to know these women who are at all stages in their businesses, all different backgrounds, different education levels. I probably never would have crossed paths with most of them without Hera Hub. I'm very grateful for that."
Tips from Julia Westfall
Whatever your business, find a community of people who care about you and support you.
Figure out where your strengths are, and be honest about your weaknesses. Then find support in those areas where you're not as strong.
The pressure to achieve work/life balance can be intense. It can be hard to see the big picture when you're in the middle of it, but it helps to see work/life balance as something that's spread over your entire life. Sometimes it's more about work, and sometimes it's more about family, and that's okay.

Felena Hanson: From Hawking Peacock Feathers to Building Work Nests for Women
If one of your early childhood memories is that of your mother bottle-feeding a baby tiger, the idea of starting your own business might not be that scary. But for Felena Hanson, the native Californian whose bloodline is saturated with entrepreneurs, a formal education and job in corporate America seemed like a safe path for her…initially.
Hanson had an opportunity not many of us have been given – when she graduated from high school, her father offered, "I've saved up some money, and I can give it to you for college or to start a business. It's your choice."
Entrepreneurship probably seemed like a no-brainer to her father. After all, he had dropped out of college his junior year, started a floor-covering business, and never worked for anyone else a day in his life. And her mother, also a college drop out, had done everything from managing an exotic animal zoo to designing jewelry, all on her own terms. "College wasn't a priority for them," says Hanson.
Hanson had felt the entrepreneurial tug at eight years old. Capitalizing on a resource in her own backyard – peacock feathers – she diligently collected them one fall and then sold them at the corner market for a quick $80 profit.
Despite the interesting offer from her father, she realized she didn't have the acumen to start a "real business" so she took the money to enroll in a community college before transferring to University of San Diego, and ultimately graduating with honors. Four years later, she went back for an MBA from Cal State.
But despite the degrees and honors she earned, Hanson is hoping to one day lead a movement to ensure that the approach to entrepreneurial and business education is radically different than it is today.
"I wouldn't change my education for anything, but to me, learning entrepreneurship from a textbook is not effective. There are so many ways you can learn." Admittedly, it took a while for her to trust that instinct in herself.
After getting her MBA, Hanson sought to learn lessons from the start-up world thinking it would be a nice compromise between launching a business herself and working in a huge corporate environment.
"My career in high tech marketing was a bit bumpy. As many venture-backed companies experience, two sold and one ran out of money. I was attracted to nimble, innovative companies, but unfortunately that meant a lot of job insecurity."
The constant ups and downs of the startup world, wore on Hanson. Like the peacocks that shed their feathers each year, Hanson felt all the layoffs were calling her to reinvention.
Another lesson in entrepreneurship came with a relatively early marriage (age 24) In addition to being the primary bread winner, Hanson backed her husband as he set off to launch a surf-apparel business and film and produce surf movies. It gave her first-hand access to entrepreneurial experience, but when she got divorced, she left the business – and all the money she had personally invested – with her husband.
Thirty, and determined to work for herself, Hanson launched a marketing business from her home that allowed her to use the best of what she had learned in the start-up world for the benefit of her clients. While she loved working for herself, she also found the experience isolating.
She looked around at potential office spaces where she might lease or share space. There were plenty to choose from and they all had one thing in common – they were either way over the top or were geared towards young males – beer kegs and ping pong tables were in abundance. "Playing beer pong was not how I envisioned spending my free time or brainstorming my new business with my colleagues. And yet the panic of 'will my new client be ok having a meeting at Starbucks or at my dining room table?' was not working for me."
Hanson envisioned a space where female entrepreneurs could have access to professional space and a collaborative community. She started speaking with local women's groups about their needs and it became obvious that she wasn't the only one looking for increased opportunities for collaboration.
The seed for HeraHub was planted and she started looking for space immediately. Named for the Greek Goddess of women – Hera – and the need for women to have a community gathering place, or a Hub, to share ideas and lean on each other, Hera Hub officially launched in San Diego in August 2011.
The co-working space is spa-inspired, which means soft music, water features, great lighting, candles, and the aroma of fresh flowers – an open space with no cubicles but plenty of areas for quiet reflection or co-working.
And just as important, Hanson didn't see Hera Hub as a space just for entrepreneurs to host a client or take a break from the dining room table. "We are very focused on education and community and connection. We collaborate with many professional women's organization – to provide them with a physical platform to host workshops and meetings.
Since launching in San Diego and seeing the response – immediate and enthusiastic – Hanson quickly realized the opportunity in expanding. Putting in $60K of her own money and another $30K loan from her father, she opened a second and third location in San Diego County. When she was ready to expand outside San Diego she took on a female angel investor to support the company in franchise growth. This angel (Silvia Mah) has also spearheaded the educational arm of Hera Hub – www.Hera-LABS.com.
Hanson has successfully secured her first franchise location in Washington, DC, with long-time resident Julia Westfall – www.HeraHub.com/DC
"My BHAG (big, hairy audacious goal) is to support over 20,000 women in the US and abroad with 200 locations in the next five years."
And with the watchful eye of Hera over her, she is confident she'll be able to do that. "It wasn't until after I chose the name Hera that I realized her symbol is the male peacock feather: the same product that launched me as an entrepreneur at age eight. When I found the reference, I knew I was on the right path."
Tips from Felena Hanson
No one has it figured out. That's what I learned working in corporate America. We're always pivoting. I've made a million mistakes. There's never a time when you get to lean back and say, 'Oh, I figured it all out.'"
For people who have a desire to start their own business, but fear the loss of a safety net? With multiple rounds of layoffs over the last decade, I've found working for yourself (taking charge of our career path) is less risky. I'm proud to say I'm unemployable!

Pest infestations are more than a nuisance. It is important to protect your family from disease due to food contamination and allergens and your property from wood and foundation damage.
The cost for a home owner to treat an existing pest problem averages more than $1,000 — which doesn't include the cost to correct the damage that has already been done. Termites alone have been estimated to cause $5 billion worth of damage in the U.S. every year, according to the National Pest Management Association.
Here are some steps you can take now to help keep your home pest-free for years to come.
Starve them out — keep a tight lid on the trash and empty it often. Clean up spills immediately and store food such as cereal, flour and sugar in plastic containers rather than in their original packaging.
Dry them out — some pests, such as cockroaches, can survive a long time without food, but need water more often to survive. To shut off their supply, be sure to fix leaky faucets, radiators, dishwashers, and washing machines immediately and empty flower pots and plant stands of excess water.
Keep them out — seal cracks and openings along baseboards, behind sinks, and around pipes and windows. Repair holes in door and window screens.
Look for cracks and holes on the outside of your home and seal them up. Be sure to include points where utility lines enter the house. Also address damage to the basement foundation and windows.
Check your landscaping. Rake mulch away from the base of your home and keep it to a minimum to allow for adequate drainage. Trim back tree branches and bushes so they do not make contact with the house. Remove tree stumps from your yard.
Keep firewood piles stacked outside of your home neat, away from the house and off the ground.
Make sure basements and attics are well ventilated and dry.
Head up to the roof to look for any rotted or decaying shingles.
When you're looking at your roof, also check that your gutters are free of debris.
These simple steps now can save you a lot of headache and money down the road from these unwanted visitors.

2019 Square Australia Events Report
Whether you're a beer connoisseur, foodie, or gig junkie, events and festivals are a popular attraction for Australians, peppering the national calendar year-round. In fact, in 2018 Live Performance Australia released a report showing significant growth in attendance at revenue for Australia's live events, and IBIS World now estimates the wider Australian events industry to be valued at $28 billion. This is a big deal.
Since launching payments in Australia just over three years ago, Square has partnered with hundreds of music, arts, food, and beverage events across the country. With headline events like Bluesfest, Laneway Festival, GABS, Spilt Milk and more, the 2018–19 season was our busiest yet, so with another events year about to kick off, and Splendour just around the corner, we thought we'd share some of our insight.
We crunched the data from thousands of transactions taken at more than 100 events across the country over the past 12 months to find out how Aussies are spending at our favourite festivals. Here's a roundup of what we found.
Beer is boss
Nationally, beer was the most popular beverage consumed at events over the past 12 months, making up 33 per cent of total sales. Wine was surprisingly the least popular, making up only 5 per cent of sales.
Average spend on beer nationally was just under $9, with people spending the most on spirits, cocktails and premixed drinks at around $12 each. State by state the sales data was pretty similar, except in the ACT and South Australia, where premixed drinks, spirits and cocktails were favoured over beer.
For all-day events, beer still reigned supreme throughout the day, but sales did hit their peak around 3 p.m., making up 51 per cent of total drinks sold. Beer sales started to drop off from 6 p.m., with spirits and cocktails becoming the drink of choice by midnight, making up 45 per cent of total drinks sold.
Burgers are better
When we looked into food, the most popular snack consumed at festivals across the country was burgers, except in New South Wales, where pizza won the vote.
Average spend on food nationally was a little over $14 for a burger, pizza or salad, with hot dogs and sandwiches coming in at a lower price tag, around $10.
Forking out at festivals
Price sensitivity did vary by state for both food and drink. Event-goers' spending in NSW, on average, was $4 more for their burgers and $4 more for their beer than those in Queensland, who spent the least across the board.
When we looked at all-day events, the average spend per card per day was $60, with just 20 per cent of those event-goers spending more than $100. At the other end of the scale, there were also some big spenders at all-day festivals, with $3,600 the highest spend on one card in one day.
Convenience over cash
Despite most items purchased at events costing less than $15, Square's data revealed that the majority of attendees are now choosing to pay by card (79 per cent) over cash (21 per cent) when purchasing their food and drinks.
Traditionally, events, festivals and markets lent themselves to being a more cash friendly environment, however, it seems Australia's increasingly cashless society is leaving no industry untouched. Aedan Buckley, Founder of Australian events company Bar Pop says that while it's taken the industry a little longer to adapt, digital payments are definitely starting to pay dividends for event attendees and organisers alike.
"Aside from the fact that cards and mobile wallets are much more convenient for our attendees, as an event organiser they are also adding more value to our operations," said Mr Buckley. "When you weigh up the cost of having to deal with cash onsite at an event, the choice becomes a no-brainer. Armguard services, portable ATMs, security vaults and financial teams can cost event organisers dearly."
Data is an added benefit that going cashless provides. "Data is becoming a key tool to the way we run events. From inventory management to real-time sales tracking and employee performance, the benefits of digital payments are far outweighing cash and the industry is fast catching onto this," he said.

Tresorit (formerly Tresorium) is an easy-to-use, cloud-based, secure file synchronising software, specifically designed to share confidential data of business users, mainly among small and medium sized enterprises, where there has been no reliable and secure solution available so far.
The software is suitable for making shared directories in a way that the files in the directories are encrypted before uploaded and the encrypted file will get into the cloud. When downloading the file from the cloud it is decryptable only when permitted by the owner. Other users are unable to decode its contents. The special feature of Tresorit is that the encrypted contents are shareable without re-encryption and that the share is reversible.
"Other similar services are just simply not that secure while they are very easy to use. We wanted to achieve the same but using complete encryption. Our technology is an excellent solution to cloud security issues." – said István Lám, CEO and founder of Tresorit Ltd.
Tresorit were present at several major conferences, such as the Global Security Challenge European Prize, the Intel Challenge Eastern-European finals, the Hungarian Innovation TechShow, and the Innovact Forum in Reims. The professional work of István Lám has also been honored: he has won the Youth Innovation Award, the Youth Bolyai Award, the prize of the GE Foundation Scholar-Leaders and the National Scholarship.
"Tresorit is one excellent example of Hungarian innovation and talent. We are confident that the company will gain a significant international market share using our investment funding and the experience of the investor group." – said Péter Tánczos, director of Euroventures and member of the Supervisory Committee of Tresorit Ltd.
The team of Tresorit is helped – as investors – by experienced IT experts and entrepreneurs such as Andreas Kemi, Swedish IT entrepreneur, co-founder of Scala, UCMS Group among others, early investor in LogMeln, Quinyx and Márton Szőke, founder of IndexTools acquired in 2008 by Yahoo!, who is now and active investor in IT and biotech enterprises, and Balázs Fejes, SVP, Global Head of Financial Services Business Unitof NYSE-listed EPAM Systems. The first two above mentioned professionals will also join the Supervisory Committee of Tresorit Ltd.
The further development of their technology may lead to its use by large companies and they are planning the development of more cloud-cryptographic solutions as well. The company will launch in public peta in Q4 2012, which will be followed by several products in the next 12 months using its freemium pricing model.
Euroventures is Central and Eastern Europe's leading independent private equity and venture capital firm. Since 1989 it has invested into Hungarian companies having international ambitions more than 40 times. The firm has been managing the Co-Investment Fund of the EU JEREMIE Program, the Euroventures IV since 2010, which has an extended fund of 7,1 billion HUF after the contribution of the Swiss-Hungarian Cooperation Programme.

Home / News / United Nations Vote – 29 November 1947
By Sara Jo Ben Zvi - 28 November 2017
The UN resolution partitioning Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state passed by 33 votes to 13 – just 7 votes more than the required two-thirds majority
2017 marks seventy years since the United Nations voted in favor of partitioning British Mandate Palestine into two states – one Jewish, the other Arab. On 29 November, 1947 (16 Kislev), Jews around the world listened with bated breath to the live radio broadcast as one by one, representatives of the nations of the world read out their votes.
The country had been torn by escalating Arab violence ever since the Balfour Declaration just over thirty years earlier, causing Britain to severely limit Jewish immigration, even as Europe became a burning cauldron devouring its Jewish population in the Holocaust. Once the scale of the destruction of European Jewry became clear, and its survivors began seeking a new homeland, the scales of international opinion began to tip towards establishing a Jewish state.
Nevertheless it was by no means a given that the United Nations General Assembly would approve motion 181 to partition Palestine. Out of fifty-six member nations, ten Arab countries were expected to vote against, with all those sharing a border with Mandate Palestine pledged to attack a Jewish state as soon it came into existence. To be carried, the vote required a two thirds majority in favor, not counting abstentions. Communist Cuba, and India with its large Muslim population, both voted against.
Britain obviously abstained, along with the South American dictatorships, Communist China, Ethiopia and Yugoslavia.
Tension mounted as the votes were called out, the biggest surprise being the Soviet Union's decision to vote in favor. When by the end of the voting, thirty three countries were found to have voted for a Jewish state, with thirteen against and ten abstentions. Spontaneous celebrations broke out as people poured out into the streets of the Jewish population centers, sharing drinks, dancing, lighting bonfires and rejoicing despite the fact that the new state would include none of the Jewish holy sites, and Jerusalem was to be an international city. But it was a beginning. Seventy years later, the date of November 29 still reverberates, commemorated in Israeli street names in major towns.

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Boulder) visits Craig as part his campaign to become Colorado's next governor.
CRAIG — The latest candidate in the race to become Colorado's next governor in 2018 met with local residents at Downtown Books to share his "big, bold" ideas.
U.S. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Boulder) is an entrepreneur with an extensive political pedigree. He co-founded his first company — American Information Systems — while still in college, and in 2000, he was recognized as "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst and Young and as one of Success Magazine's top ten young entrepreneurs. The same year, he was elected to the Colorado State Board of Education.
He has also served on the bipartisan Nutritional Supplement Caucus, the bipartisan Blockchain Caucus and the bi-partisan Outdoor Recreation Caucus.
He announced his plans to run for Colorado's top job June 11.
Polis said he has three priorities: "To take the state into the future by making it energy independent with 100-percent renewable energy by 2040; improving education and delivering full day kindergarten and preschool across the state; and building an inclusive economy where employees of all levels make more, not just CEOs," according to polisforcolorado.com.
The Craig Press asked Polis for more details about how he would address critical issues in rural Colorado.
Craig Press: How will you ensure rural economies aren't left behind during the current population booms and economic growth elsewhere in Colorado?
Jared Polis: While, in some parts of Colorado, our economy is booming, too many communities, especially in our rural areas, are being left behind, and that story isn't getting told as often as it needs to be. And, it's not just telling the story. We need a governor who cares and will finally do something about it, and I will.
I want to build an economy that works for every Coloradan — no matter what ZIP code they're in. One of my top priorities will be helping people find work in the communities they call home. You shouldn't have to move to Denver, hours away from your family, to get a good job. I've created hundreds of jobs, met payroll, patented innovative new technology, and I not only know what we need to do to make sure that our entire state is part of our success story, but I also know how to get it done.
To make this goal a reality, we need to support every aspect of our rural economies — from affordable housing, to good schools, to a modern infrastructure. One step we must take is ensuring that every school, hospital, small business and entrepreneur has access to high-speed internet. We can put Coloradans to work by removing barriers to the installation of broadband in rural areas and letting rural cities and counties take power into their own hands to give their citizens access to tools that the metro area can take for granted. When more Coloradans are given the opportunity to succeed, we all do better.
CP: How would you support rural communities like Craig in their efforts to recruit new business and industry to diversify their economies?
JP: "How bad are the roads today?" is as common as asking about the weather in rural Colorado. To attract businesses that will bring good-paying jobs to our communities, we have to upgrade our infrastructure. That means fixing our roads and highways and modernizing our transit systems to reduce traffic, improve safety and make travel within rural communities easier. Resolving our rural broadband problems is also key to recruiting new businesses.
In addition, I would focus on expanding our rural communities' affordable housing offerings and improving both the cost and the availability of health care.
CP: What ideas do you have to help coal miners diversify their skills and find other high-paying work as the coal industry continues to decline?
JP: We have to recognize that coal miners are already some of the highest-skilled and dedicated men and women that we have in the state. From manufacturing, to construction, to building a renewable energy economy, coal miners already have some of the finest skills and talents that we need for our future. In many cases, it's not simply about diversifying their skills, but making sure that we value what they already offer Colorado.
We can inject new life into rural Colorado by partnering with industry to renovate our closed down factories and mines to give them a new mission, whether it be to harvest our natural resources in pursuit of a clean economy or create the next hub of manufacturing in Colorado as a way to kickstart local economies. As coal traffic decreases, we can use existing rail infrastructure to move locally manufactured products to give us a competitive advantage in transportation pricing.
CP: How would you propose to solve Colorado's teacher shortage, especially in rural areas?
JP: Recruiting teachers to Colorado's highest-need areas is only one part of the battle — we also have to make sure teachers can afford to keep teaching, grow in their profession and tackle the high cost-of-living in some parts of the state.
That's why my administration will partner with local governments to pay off the student loans of teachers who commit to serve in a high-need or rural area for a certain amount of time. I will also work to expand and improve the Building Excellent Schools Today program, which is currently used to renovate our schools with contributions from the State Land Board, marijuana tax revenue, lottery spillover and interest. This program may be able to help local communities support the building of affordable housing and fulfill all of our schools' capital construction needs by considering new funding sources.
CP: Do you support the new Critical Shortages in Rural School Districts law, which will permit retirees to teach in school with teacher shortages without losing retirement benefits?
JP: Yes. This is the kind of innovative thinking we need to ensure that all our public schools have the resources and training they need to serve our kids. As governor, I will work with school districts across Colorado to ensure that every child in our state gets the great education they need to unlock the bright future they deserve, including preschool and kindergarten — whether they're from the Western Slope, Southern Colorado, the Front Range or the Eastern Plains.
CP: How would you help people in rural Colorado obtain quality, affordable healthcare?
JP: Coloradans in our rural communities face both enormous out-of-pocket health care costs and a shortage of qualified providers. In particular, I've met far too many men and women who have to travel several hours each way just to receive basic mental health care.
We need to continue to challenge ourselves to redraw Colorado's geographic rating areas to provide relief to rural Coloradans facing high costs. I will work with community members and public health officials at both the state and federal levels to bring down these costs, while incentivizing more providers to practice in underserved rural areas. I will also take advantage of innovative solutions to improve access to affordable health care services, such as telemedicine and mobile care.
Solving our health care affordability crisis in rural Colorado won't be easy, but I'm ready to go toe-to-toe with the insurance companies if I have to in order to make sure that patients have equal access to care and that our local providers can afford to keep their doors open.
CP: What else would you like readers to know?
JP: I've spent the past four months traveling to every corner of Colorado, and I've met so many families in our rural areas who feel like Colorado is leaving them behind,\ and that nobody cares. As I did when I started several successful companies, including proflowers.com, as I did when I started non-profit public schools that serve at-risk youth, I will think big and be bold for our state in making sure that Colorado is a statewide success story.
As governor, I'll be committed to building an economy that works for everyone, no matter who they are or where they live. When we look at the challenges our state faces today — from infrastructure and public school funding to affordable housing and the need for good-paying jobs — we can't call any proposal "a solution" unless it lifts up everybody, including hardworking families and retirees who call our rural communities home.


Ghrelin is a hormone that increases appetite by signaling hunger to the brain. Released mostly in the stomach, ghrelin is typically at an increased level when the body needs food and the levels decrease when a person is satiated (doesn't need food). One of two 'hunger hormones', the other is leptin which is an appetite suppressor. Functioning as a regulator of body weight, levels of ghrelin are higher before eating and these levels decrease after eating.
Research has shown that ghrelin is increased in patients with anorexia nervosa and decreased in obese patients. This is further evidence that ghrelin levels are involved in hunger: anorexia nervosa patients are in dire need of nutritive substances so their body is increasing ghrelin in an attempt to stimulate hunger while obese patients are satiated and the body doesn't need nutrition at the moment and this causes a low level of grehlin in the body.


World famous Canadian psychologist and best-selling author Jordan Peterson requested a visiting fellowship at the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University. Visiting fellowships are unpaid and allow the fellow to make use of University research facilities and to attend faculty seminars, but not to teach. The fellowship was initially granted on an academic basis.
The fellowship was later rescinded after a further review. A statement put out by the Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University explained that the Faculty became aware of a photo of Professor Peterson posing with a man wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "I'm a Proud Islamaphobe" [sic].
"I also have a strong belief that people should be allowed to express themselves as they see fit, and I haven't invoked a dress code at my lectures, feeling that free people who have taken the time and trouble to attend and travel and pay have the right (as they clearly do) to wear whatever they choose," he wrote in an email.
Earlier this month I wrote an article What is Islamophobia? about attempts to define Islamophobia. It appears that Jordan Peterson is now the latest casualty of unfair allegations of Islamophobia. As I argued in that article, Islamophobia is hard to define in a way which does not restrict valid criticism of Islam as a religion. If I think that Muhammad was not a prophet and that Islam is a false religion – does that make me an Islamophobe?
Since I wrote that piece, Peter Tatchell has weighed in with a letter to The Times headlined "Free speech is under threat over Islamophobia." Jewish News columnist, Maajid Nawaz, has also criticised the proposed definition as intended to shield Islam from criticism.
Is Jordan Peterson an Islamophobe?
I agree with Peterson on this. As I explained in my article on defining Islamophobia, there has been a proliferation of 'phobias' arising from competing victimhoods. For exactly this reason I am not a fan of the term 'Christophobia' either. Better and more precise terms are 'anti-Muslim' and 'anti-Christian'.
Peterson is concerned about 'Islamophobia' for the same reason that I am concerned about it – allegations of Islamophobia tend to inhibit free speech. This does not mean that he is anti-Muslim. Nor does it mean that it is fair to allege that he is 'Islamophobic' – whatever that may mean.
So, let me get this straight. Professor Peterson has his fellowship withdrawn, and the explanation is the importance of free and lawful expression of ideas and viewpoints? Just what has Peterson done that is unlawful here? Where is the respect that Cambridge University should be extending to Professor Peterson with whom we assume they disagree fundamentally? How is withdrawing Peterson's fellowship aiding the free expression of ideas? Even if we accept the view (which I don't) that someone's identity is above criticism, whose identity has Peterson personally attacked?
The Vice-Chancellor's statement is appalling. It has only served to expose the illogical thinking of the university.
"I believe that the parties in question don't give a damn about the perilous decline of Christianity, and I presume in any case that they regard that faith, in their propaganda-addled souls, as the ultimate manifestation of the oppressive Western patriarchy, despite their hypothetical allegiance to their own discipline.
"I think that it is no bloody wonder that the faith is declining (and with it, the values of the West, as it fragments) with cowards and mountebanks of the sort who manifested themselves today at the helm.
While not formally a Christian, Peterson is ably defending Christianity and Christian principles far better than most Christians are. I reviewed his book, 12 Rules for Life last year, and noted the respect he has for the Bible and Biblical principles. I have since watched his debates with Sam Harris about whether there is a God and what is the source of morality, and found it fascinating to see them both attempt to find an objective source for morality without an objective God. A quest that is doomed to failure. I pray and hope that one day Peterson will accept his own need for God.
Meanwhile, faculty members of Cambridge University have made themselves look foolish. If they had any real integrity and respect for free speech, they would rescind the rescindment. I am not holding my breath.


The early 20th century saw the introduction of the first practical semiauto pistols, and the popularity of Colt's Model 1903 and Savage's Model 1907 pocket pistols caused rising consternation at the offices of Smith & Wesson.
The S&W .35 Caliber Automatic, also known as the Model 1913, was produced from 1913 until 1922. Approximately 8,350 were built. It featured smooth wooden grip panels, a fully grooved slide with crossbolt lock stud, and an ambidextrous safety that was operated with the middle finger of the shooting hand.
The early 20th century saw the introduction of the first practical semiauto pistols, and the popularity of Colt's Model 1903 and Savage's Model 1907 pocket pistols caused rising consternation at the offices of Smith & Wesson. So in 1910 S&W purchased the rights to a blowback-operated pistol designed by Charles Philibert Clement. It was chambered for the 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) and used a fixed barrel and a lightweight slide. The slide contained the breechblock, which engaged a recoil spring located in a channel above the barrel. A very heavy recoil spring was required, which made it difficult to retract to chamber a round.
The first change made to Clement's pistol was the inclusion of a grip safety on the frame's frontstrap that was depressed by the middle finger of the shooting hand. Another safety consisted of a rowel on the backstrap that was rotated up to put the pistol on "Safe."
The problem with the heavy recoil spring that made it difficult to retract the slide to chamber the first round was solved with a slide crossbolt lock on the left side of the slide. When the slide was grasped with the thumb and trigger finger, the crossbolt was pushed from left to right, disengaging the slide from the recoil spring and allowing the slide to be pulled back and pushed forward to chamber a round. When released, the spring-loaded crossbolt snapped back and engaged the recoil spring.
A seven-round box magazine contained in the grip was released via a button on the bottom of the grip frame.
Loading the pistol was accomplished by pushing the slide crossbolt lock from left to right, then pulling the slide completely to the rear, and then pushing it forward to chamber a cartridge.
S&W developed a proprietary cartridge, the .35 Smith & Wesson, for this new pistol. It used a straight-walled, semirimmed case that was 17mm long and loaded with 76- to 80-grain FMJ and softpoint bullets with velocities in the vicinity of 825 fps. The bullet was actually 7.65mm in size, but the ".35" designation was decided upon to prevent customer confusion. It quickly became known that the more readily available--and cheaper--.32 ACP cartridge would function perfectly in the S&W ".35 Caliber Pistol."
The pistol was released on the market in May 1913 as the Smith & Wesson .35 Caliber Automatic, although it is often referred to by collectors as the Model 1913.
Initial sales were brisk, but production ceased in 1915 so that the factory could produce revolvers for the British government. It started up again in mid-1916 but was discontinued in 1918 when all factory output was devoted to producing revolvers for the U.S. Army.
The S&W .35 Caliber Pistol lacked the streamlined appearance of the Colt Model 1903, its manual of arms and operation were more complicated, and .35 S&W ammunition was more expensive and less available than .32 ACP ammo. These facts severely limited sales, and production of the Model 1913 ceased in 1922.
The S&W .35 Caliber Pistol was field-stripped by pulling down the trigger guard and then pivoting up the hinged barrel/recoil spring/barrel extension unit.
During its production life 8,350 S&W .35 Caliber Pistols were produced, but the factory made a continual series of changes and today collectors recognize eight "Types."
First Type -- the original version as described above. The grip safety was operated by pressing it to the rear.
Second Type -- the grip safety was redesigned so that it had to be pushed to the left and rearward.
Third Type -- the grip safety was changed back to the original style of operation.
Fourth Type -- the magazine catch was redesigned.
Fifth Type -- used a heavier recoil spring and wider slide crossbolt lock.
Sixth Type -- the shape of the recoil spring channel was changed, and the sides of the slide were extended so they overlapped the sides of the frame.
Seventh Type -- the S&W stamp on the frame flat behind the grip was discontinued.
Eighth Type -- the caliber markings were moved from the left side of the barrel to the right, and the left was marked "Smith & Wesson."
The commercial failure of the .35 Caliber Pistol left a lingering suspicion at the Springfield factory. It would be 1956 before S&W marketed another centerfire semiautomatic pistol.
My brother Vincent obtained an S&W .35 Caliber Pistol after a decade of searching, and he graciously allowed me to use it for this report. It is an Eighth Type gun in very good condition except for some light external pitting. It has a bright bore and excellent grips.
I fired the Model 1913 for accuracy by shooting five-shot groups from a benchrest at 15 yards. Fellow InterMedia Outdoors contributor Bob Shell provided a supply of custom-loaded .35 S&W cartridges, and I also used a box of UMC .32 ACP ammo to see if the claims of interchangeability were factual.
In general the pistol shot to point of aim, although the all-but-nonexistent rear sight notch caused flyers no matter how careful I was. After several attempts, my groups with the .35 S&W loads averaged just over 3 inches; those fired with the .32s came in at 4 inches.
I then set up a D-1 target and ran a few offhand drills with the little autoloader. Considering its ergonomic deficiencies, the pistol performed extremely well, and the majority of rounds found their way into the higher scoring zones of the target. Reliability was excellent, and I did not experience a single failure to feed, fire, or eject with either the .35 S&W or .32 ACP cartridges.
I found the grip to be too short and too narrow for a positive purchase, and while the grip safety was operated easily, the rowel safety on the backstrap was very difficult to manipulate. Once I had the hang of the slide crossbolt, it could be operated easily.
All in all I found the S&W .35 Caliber Pistol to be a fascinating little pistol. It displayed first-class workmanship and materials and functioned 100-percent reliably, but it was awkward to operate and was sadly lacking in ergonomics. It is not difficult to fathom why a potential purchaser would have opted for a small-frame S&W revolver or one of S&W's competitor's pistols instead.

Your good neighbor stories gave us the warm fuzzies.
Never underestimate the power of a good neighbor. A simple act of kindness can make lasting impressions on the people on your block. The proof is in the overwhelming response we received to our first Good Neighbor Day contest.
In honor of National Good Neighbor Day on September 28, we asked residents to share, in 500 words or less, their best stories about neighbors helping neighbors through kind, thoughtful acts. The responses tugged at our heartstrings and reminded us that even seemingly little acts can add up to make big differences in people's lives.
Stephanie's twins were born 17 weeks early and had to stay in the hospital for 151 days. Having to split time between the hospital and home to care for her older children, too, Stephanie was ever so grateful for the support she received from her neighbor Hayley, who cooked meals for Stephanie and her family every week. But, it didn't stop there. Once the twins were home from the hospital, Hayley continued to make Stephanie's family two hot meals every week for a year. Plus, Hayley's husband drove Stephanie's older kids to sports practices and games. Hayley has been a tremendous support to Stephanie and is more than worthy of the good neighbor label.
Jeff is the handyman of his neighborhood. His generosity to his neighbors in the fix-it department knows no bounds. From home, car, electrical and plumbing repairs to lawnmowing and tree trimming, Jeff does it all. Need a helping hand? Jeff will be there. But, most noteworthy is that he's a lovable single dad who provides for his daughter and two older children, including cooking meals and attending his daughter's sporting events. When we called to let him know that he won, he told us that he had just helped a neighbor bury their cat the night before. His neighbors and the Chabalas can't say enough good things about their super neighbor!
Trish knows how to throw a party. When a neighbor's birthday rolls around, Trish helps them celebrate by providing homemade cakes and dinners. But, she doesn't just cook for special occasions. Almost every other night, Trish makes mass quantities of dinners to hand out to her neighbors. Need a ride? Trish will give you that, too. She's always looking out for her neighbors and offering ways to help them, even the young ones, giving them opportunities to make some pocket money. It's clear that Trish is always the first to celebrate her neighbors. It's only fitting that we now have the opportunity to celebrate Trish and her kind and generous acts.
Congratulations to Stephanie, Jeff and Trish on exemplifying what it means to be a good neighbor! Enjoy this much deserved thank you and token of appreciation.
Everyone who submitted a nomination to our Good Neighbor Day contest was also entered for a chance to receive a $250 gift card to Robard's Steakhouse as well. Congrats to Pat Hughes of The Woodlands, TX for winning this gift card, and thank you for nominating your good neighbor!

Well, this week has been a roller coaster of emotions. but I'm not going to explain too much here, that honour goes to @joe.aldred. I will explain my side of events and things and i will let joe do the big explanation post since, well you know......i'm now picking up the slack and he has nothing to to do now.
But I have spoken to joe, and it was nice to just talk to a friend, and we both agree that he deserves more than just veteran. At the end of the day joe has help shape the servers. He was gunning for the fabled [Founder] rank. Buuuuttttt I had to shoot that down. Not because he hasn't earned it, but because that rank has a bit emotional tie for me and its not a rank i ever want anyone else to have. So the rank joe is getting is......well we are not entirely sure what to call it, to be honest. Joe wants to call it [Ambassador] i want to call it [Patron]. So once again we are at odds about this. so for the time being i will take his suggestion but ill just gonna list some tags here just in case he feels like changing his mind.As for what this rank is, basically It means joe gets a big shiny badge for all his work. The rank has no responsibility, Not special access to things and no special privileges.
Gentlemen could be cool considering the server name. Patron and VIP sound a bit like it's just a super donator rank imo and ambassador almost doesn't really make sense unless Joe goes to another server and sets up an embassy.
How about Patricia? Also, when you say no special powers or privileges, does that mean the rank is ceremonial in the same kind of way as Retired or is it more like Veteran in having staff powers?
This works out nicely in my opinion. Joe gets the recognition he deserves and the mighty, mighty convenience of being able to sort out RDMs against you quickly.
I am not gentle, nor am I a man.

Alleged Igbo killing: Group demands commission of inquiry
By Sunday Ani
An Igbo group in the diaspora, Global Igbo Alliance (GIA), has called on the Federal Government to set up a judicial commission of inquiry into the alleged torture, kidnapping and murder of the Igbo by the Nigerian military during the 'Operation Python Dance' in Abia state.
In a statement jointly signed by the group's president and secretary, Dr. Christian Duru and Chinwe Eboh, and made available to Daily Sun, the diaspora Igbo group particularly condemned the attack on the country home of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and the alleged attendant kidnappings, murders and inhuman treatment meted to IPOB members and some citizens of Abia State by the Nigerian army.
It therefore demanded the immediate release of Kanu, saying, "GIA demands that the Federal Government and the Nigerian military produce Kanu alive or avail the people of Abia State and the entire Igbo land of his corpse and those of his other family members, who have been missing since the unprovoked invasion.
"The murder and other acts of indignity meted out to Kanu and his unarmed and harmless men and family members in Abia State, has no justification under any domestic or international humanitarian law and we consider these as crimes against humanity.
"We demand for an independent judicial commission of inquiry into the allegations of torture, kidnappings, murders, genocide and other acts of indignities by the Nigerian military against the Igbo youths during the invasion of Abia state."
The Igbo group also condemned the branding of IPOB as a terrorist organisation, saying, "The international community, including the United Nations and the European Union, has rejected the classification of IPOB as a terrorist organisation. GIA stands firmly with these groups in their rejection."
They equally lamented that those who have threatened or massacred the Igbo in the past in Nigeria have never been brought to book, citing the recent quit order to the Igbo residing in the northern part of Nigeria as a good example. "It is appalling that the Federal Government has failed to take action against the masterminds of the infamous threat, as well as the originators of a hate song against the Igbo, which swept through the social media few months ago.
"We equally regret that none of the perpetrators of April 25, 2016 Nimbo massacre in Enugu State, where about 48 Igbo were killed by Fulani herdsmen has been apprehended and/or prosecuted by the relevant authorities. We demand that the Federal Government should liaise with the victims' families for fair and appropriate compensations," they stated.
The diaspora Igbo group also lent its voice to the growing calls for the restructuring of Nigeria, insisting that the country's current structure must be negotiated.

Hockey World Cup: Fast and furious India leave a lot to be desired in victory against Wales
January 20, 2023, Bhubaneswar
Reference: https://scroll.in/field/1042212/hockey-world-cup-fast-and-furious-india-leave-a-lot-to-be-desired-in-victory-against-wales
India knew their task even before they took to the field at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. With England beating Spain 4-0 in their match, India needed to beat Wales by at least eight goals to pip England to the Pool D top spot on goal difference.
In the end they laboured to beat a spirited Welsh team 4-2 to finish second in Pool D and go into the crossovers of the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup.
Coach Graham Reid has often called himself a mentality coach wherein the mental preparation of his team is as important as the physical one. On Thursday, the Australian admitted that the pressure of scoring eight goals did get to his players even though there was no pressure put on them by the coaching staff.
"The quality of the skills needed to be increased. I think maybe we tried putting too much pressure on ourselves and that's what happened," Reid said after the match.
"No pressure came from me. The line today was 'we just need to go out and play our normal game'. Of course you have scoreboard pressure. We needed to create opportunities and put them away when we did. That gives you the opportunity to press later in the game and get those numbers. Unfortunately, we couldn't get those two or three early goals to be able to put pressure later in the game," he added.
In the pre-match press conference, Reid had spoken about the need for his forwards to be calm. Play 'aaram se', as he put it.
Perhaps it was the pressure of needing to score eight goals that got to them but 'calm' wasn't how one would describe the Indian forwards on Thursday.
Reid was also tight-lipped about Hardik Singh's availability ahead of the game, saying that he would make a call on matchday. Hardik, who had injured his hamstring in the England match, came out for the warm-up with the team but restricted himself to putting down cones and catching stray balls. How India would have loved to have Hardik on the field on Thursday.
Having seen England thump Spain, India came charging out of the blocks putting Wales under pressure from the first minute itself. But there was no method to this madness. As soon as India reached the Welsh 23m line, their passes went wayward and the first touch abandoned them as they tried to force the issue instead of a disciplined build-up play.
As the quarter went on, even the vociferous crowd began to feel nervous. There were times when an eerie silence would descend on the over 15,000 fans as India tried to play out from the back, looking to find the perfect pass which would unlock the Welsh defence.
India had 82% possession at half time with 12 circle penetrations and just two penalty corners. But they did manage to take the lead from the second of those penalty corners. Harmanpreet Singh's drag-flick was blocked by the first rusher but Shamsher Singh got on the end of the rebound to unleash a powerful low shot beyond Toby Reynolds-Cotterill in the Welsh goal.
At half-time Reid urged his forwards to be better at executing their skills and that's what he got in the second half. Akashdeep Singh drove towards goal from the halfline and played a one-two with Mandeep Singh before smashing the ball into the far corner. That beautiful flowing move showed what the Indian forwards are capable of when they don't let the pressure get to them.
The goal gave India a fresh injection of energy as they put more men ahead in search of goals. That, however, became their undoing.
Wales exploited the space behind with high balls and won a penalty corner after PR Sreejesh and Jarmanpreet Singh were deemed to have fouled a Welsh player. Gareth Furlong made no mistake from the PC, getting a powerful low shot past Sreejesh. Minutes later, Wales won another PC and although Sreejesh made the save off Furlong, Jacob Draper was at hand to smash in the rebound.
"As the match went on, it became more expansive and we got more space to run into. We have some quick players and we utilised that very well," Draper said after the match.
"They defended really well. They threw everything at it. We still created a lot of opportunities that we should've put away. I think we kept (Wales) in the game and that gave (the opponents) oxygen. That's what happens when you have such a good crowd. That helps (the opposition) as well. Gives them a bit of adrenaline, they get bit of belief," Reid said.
India went from targeting an 8-0 win to fighting to win the match.
Once again, Akashdeep came to India's rescue. He played a one-two with Sukhjeet Singh before rocketing in a reverse hit to restore India's lead. The Indian forwards found their mojo in the fourth quarter with Mandeep, Sukhjeet, Lalit Upadhyay combining well with each other only to be denied by Reynolds-Cotterill.
Wales took off Reynolds-Cotterill in the final minute of the match as they chased an equaliser and India fortuitously won a penalty corner. With no goalkeeper to beat, Harmanpreet smashed the ball straight down the middle to get his first goal of the tournament.
India secured a win but they left a lot to be desired. "This was not our best game today to be honest. We know that we can perform much better than this," Harmanpreet admitted after the match.
On Sunday, India will face New Zealand in the crossover. Had they topped the pool, India would have had six days between their final group match and the quarterfinal match allowing them time to rest, strategise well and crucially, allow Hardik to recover sufficiently from his injury. Instead, a tricky clash against New Zealand awaits them.

gordon brown | Ipswich Unemployed Action.
Labour in 1997 began its welfare reform regime including Gordon Brown's New Deal scheme aimed at getting rid of the "life on benefits" trend. Regardless of progress made in making benefits harder to claim resulting in 2/5 of a million less claimants, 12 years on politicians are still using this but rebranding to various phrases including "passive receivers" when most of this problem is a thing of the past. This article also focuses on the Governments aim of eradicating Child Poverty by 2020 – a mission proposed by former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
3 million new jobs, but only 400,000 less claimants – something not right here. Most claimants are due to unfair sanctions imposed and procedures tightened to prevent people claiming benefits they are entitled to. Some of this figure will be however due to Jobseekers securing employment.
1 in 9 jobs are occupied by foreign workers – gives great insight in the number of unemployed people who would have had a job if the Government didn't let in foreign people so easily. These foreign workers have greatly taken up employment opportunities where they could have been filled by British people – remember some of these people will be skilled migrants such as doctors and entrepreneurs or investors however most are not specifically skilled (no degree or professional qualification).
51% in 1998, 34% in 2005 and 25% in 2008/09 – The percentage of New Deal participants finding work has been on the decline. This probably is due to participants doing no work experience and having no training. Please Note: The 25% is an average figure – third sector providers such as YMCA Training performed much worse.

Q: How to run new added binaries using makefile I have added some pre-compiled tools for developing ARM into the /home/charlie/bin/ARM directory. When I modify the path by PATH=/home/charlie/bin/ARM:"$PATH" I can execute arm-none-eabi-gcc in the terminal.
However when I run make I got this error:
/bin/sh: 1: arm-none-eabi-gcc: not found.

What is the proper mechanism to make new programs located anywhere to be executed like native binaries (for example gcc) and why was I able to run it in terminal after changing PATH but make had problems ?

A: OP's original answer:
The PATH needs to be EXPORTed too!
export PATH=/home/charlie/bin/ARM:"$PATH"
