The three Japanese automakers agreed on key details regarding a new joint support project for the development of hydrogen fueling station infrastructure in Japan. The companies pledged up to $90,000 per station to cover construction and operating costs.
Honda, Nissan and Toyota have already released, or plan to release, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) in the next year.
FCV's use compressed hydrogen gas, that when combined with oxygen and drawn through an electrolyte, create electricity. The electricity is used to power an electric motor. The only exhaust is water vapor.
Currently, there are only 23 hydrogen-fueling stations in Japan, but hundreds of more are planned.
There are also considerable efforts in the U.S. and elsewhere to create more hydrogen fueling stations. In California, for example, 28 FCV stations are expected to be built by the end of 2016, bringing the state's total to 48. Additionally, Toyota has partnered with FirstElement Fuel to build refueling stations in California and with hydrogen fuel provider Air Liquide to build a network of 12 stations throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island this year.
Hitoshi Kawaguchi, senior vice president of Nissan, said the companies will continue to compete on products, but they must come together on supporting hydrogen fueling stations and other needed infrastructure.
The three automakers have also agreed "to help infrastructure companies deliver the best possible customer service and create a convenient, hassle-free refueling network for owners" of FCVs.
Conducted in conjunction with the Japanese government's support for hydrogen stations, the joint project aims to encourage new companies to enter the hydrogen supply business.
Financial assistance will be by the carmakers through the Research Association of Hydrogen Supply/Utilization Technology (HySUT), which is setting up a project to stimulate demand for FCVs.
Korean automaker Hyundai this week also announced it plans to focus more attention on eco-friendly vehicles.
"Hyundai Motor will strengthen its competitiveness in overall eco-friendly car lineups, including fuel cell, hybrid and electric vehicles, so as to emerge as an industry leader in the business," Euisun Chung, vice chairman of Hyundai, said at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year.
Japan's big three automakers hope to popularize FCVs by creating a reliable hydrogen fueling environment and "ensuring peace of mind for FCV owners."
The companies plan to use determine customer needs and hydrogen station operating rates as a way to improve customer service.
They also want to bolster the convenience of hydrogen stations by increasing the number of days they are open, extending their business hours, enhancing and providing operational information and developing hydrogen station infrastructure that is easy to access.

A Glamorous Smile of New Port Richey, FL is proud to be the home of a well-trained dental staff full of energy and compassion. Our team members are carefully chosen for their capabilities and experience, and their commitment to quality care.
I am currently a dental hygienist at A Glamorous Smile. I love spending time with my husband, two daughters and extended family. I love being able to communicate with our patients. I have the ability to understand people easily and thereby treat them accordingly.
I enjoy working with people and making them happy and comfortable. I am always like to keep a smile on my face!
I've worked in dentistry for 25 years. My favorite parts of the job are meeting new people, educating patients about their dental health, and seeing how my patients' overall oral health improves with treatment and education.
I recently moved from Alaska and am married with 3 kids who are 9, 16, and 22 years old. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, swimming, going to the beach, and ultimately love traveling.
I have worked at A Glamorous Smile for 8 years. It is truly a wonderful place to work. I am blessed with great patients and co-workers. I graduated from Dental Hygiene School in 2007 from PHSC and I also have my AA from SPC.
I am married with 2 girls (aged 1 and 4). My husband is a firefighter for Pasco County. We love to ski and go boating in our free time. Our girls are definitely princesses so we also spend a lot of time at Disney.
My name is Deanna, I am one of your dental assistants here at a Glamorous Smile! I live here in New Port Richey with my husband where we were both born and raised. I received my Expanded Functions Dental Assistant and Radiography Certification at Pasco Hernando State College. I have been a dental assistant since 2009, and have been working with Dr. Annicchiarico for over two years.
I am so happy to be able to provide my patients with the smile they deserve by working within an office that can give them that kind of quality. This year I will be applying to dental hygiene school with the hopes of returning to the practice as your new hygienist in 2020!
I am married with two children, who now have children of their own, making me the grandma of the team. Born and raised in Indiana, I started my dental career a little later in life graduating from Kaplan College in 1999 with a degree in Expanded Functions Dental Assisting. I had the honor of working with a wonderful practice in Indianapolis for 13 years where I was afforded the opportunity to continue my education at the Las Vegas Institute for Cosmetic Dentistry thus allowing me to broaden my knowledge and technique in cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
After relocating to Florida in 2012 I began working with Dr. Anniccharico and am grateful to have found such a caring and professional practice. Over the years I have been asked why I chose dentistry and the answer that always comes to mind is I feel that a person's greatest asset is their smile. On a daily basis, I am blessed to be able to take part in restoring not only our patient's oral health but also their confidence. Here at A Glamorous Smile we're changing lives one smile at a time.
I've been in the dental industry for over 20 years. I've been blessed to work with several great dental groups throughout my career. I am thankful to be here in South Florida with Dr. A and team. I started out in dentistry as a dental assistant and have worn many different hats in the dental office.
My family is what makes me happy. I moved here from Cincinnati, Ohio with my son, Braxton and our 2 rescue dogs Daisy and Rosey to enjoy the beaches and warm weather!
I have been in dentistry for 20 years and absolutely love working at the front desk. Getting to know my patients on a personal level and making them feel comfortable is my top priority.
I graduated from Clearwater High school and lived and raised my family in the Palm Harbor area, where I can be as close to the beach as possible to enjoy our jet ski. Any other free time I have I fly to Tennessee to visit my daughter and grandson who are my pride and joy!

Serial Killer Sentenced to Death
Kang Ho-sun
A South Korean serial killer convicted of murdering 10 women, including his wife and mother-in-law, was sentenced to death Wednesday by a court, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Kang Ho-sun, 38, was found guilty of kidnapping and killing eight women in rural areas south of Seoul and in a remote province between September 2006 and December 2008.
He was also convicted of killing his wife and mother-in-law in an arson in 2005.
Kang was arrested in January for abducting and murdering a female college student and has since confessed to killing and secretly burying seven other women. He was also charged with setting fire to his own house in Ansan, about 50 km south of Seoul, which claimed the lives of his wife and mother-in-law after he had taken out large life insurance policies on them.
Prosecutors had demanded the death penalty for Kang, though South Korea has maintained a de facto moratorium on capital punishment for more than a decade.

Are "The Pump" one of the best NBA signature shoes?
Inside Rudy Gay's Massive Sneaker Closet
Sacramento Kings forward Rudy Gay allows The Crossover to go inside his massive sneaker collection.
Welcome to Sneaker Closet presented by Finish Line, where we take a look inside some of your favorite athletes' massive shoe collections. To start the series we linked with one of the NBA's most underrated sneakerheads, Sacramento Kings forward Rudy Gay. Through 11 NBA seasons, Gay has been known to rock some crazy Air Jordan retros while also wearing the latest Nike performance sneaker models. Being a Swoosh athlete comes with some amazing perks and a bunch of sneakers that have flooded his sneaker closet. The Crossover chatted with Gay about the DMV's influence on his sneaker style, his favorite sneakers, other NBA sneakerheads and more.
Jarrel Harris: How would you define the word sneakerhead?
Rudy Gay: I would say someone who gets what they like. A lot of people get sneakers because that is what everybody else likes. If you are a sneakerhead, you really know what you like and that's what you go for.
JH: Where did your love for sneakers come from?
RG: It was in middle school. I got a pair of Jordans, I forgot which one they were but I got those [older] Jordans after the new ones already came out—that meant that they were on sale. Back then it wasn't just about wearing Jordans, it was about wearing the newest Jordans. I had them on and they were making fun of me for having the old Jordans.
JH: If you could describe your sneaker closet how would you explain it?
RG: I will say it is versatile. Of course, I am a Jordan head so I have a lot of that. A lot of Nike in there. I always loved the Air Max and that's the biggest thing. And it's not even just Nike, I have Yeezys. As I got older I kind of shied away from the bulkier shoes, so now I just wear a lot of low-cut shoes.
JH: Do you know how many shoes you have in your collection?
RG: Only God knows. I have storages, I have garages, I have a closet full of them, so I would say over 1,000.
JH: If you had to wear three sneakers for the rest of your life, what would they be and why?
RG: I would say the Flyknit Nike. Any kind of Flyknit I will wear because they are comfortable as hell. I would say probably a pair of low-cut Air Force Ones, because people stopped wearing them but the style always comes back. I am actually wearing a pair right now. And a pair of Jordan IVs.
JH: Is there one sneaker in your closet that stands out amongst the others?
RG: Yeah, I have the Yeezy 1s. Actually it's not just one, I also have the Oregon Air Jordan IVs. But the Yeezy 1s, every time I turn the light off in my closet they always glow and light up, so it is pretty cool.
JH: You're from the DMV area—how did that influence your style, and what sneakers did you wear growing up?
RG: Since I'm from the DMV, growing up it was Pennys, Air Maxes and New Balance. I stopped wearing Pennys as much because they weren't that comfortable. At this point in my career it is all about comfort. I can't be walking around with my feet hurt. Speaking of that, growing up, because I was taller, I had to buy shoes and couldn't afford to get bigger [sizes]. So I would get a size 13 and take the sole out.
JH: When it comes to choosing what sneakers to wear, what is your mind-set? Is it the design? The colorway? How it feels?
RG: What's funny is I start my outfit with my shoes. It's weird, people don't really do that. But I start my outfit with my shoes and then it depends on what kind of jeans I want to wear and how crazy my colors are. With the style now, the longer the jeans, the shorter the shoe has to be. And sometimes I wear high-top shoes but I usually just save that for the court.
JH: How do you get the majority of your sneakers?
RG: I don't really go on websites. I have been blessed, I have been with Nike for a little while now and for the most part they send me stuff. But even if you have a contract they don't send you everything—sometimes you have to go through a different alley to get what you want. Like the Kaws Air Jordan IVs, they held them tight, because I'm a Nike athlete, not a Jordan athlete. I had to work my magic to get those.
Jordan, LeBron, Curry And The Biggest Sneaker What-Ifs In NBA history
JH: I was about to ask that—whenever you want kicks, how does that process work? Do you just ask a brand rep, like, hey I need these?
RG: No, because they be acting like they are Barack Obama—you can't get to them. I don't even do that anymore, I just go about it my own way.
JH: What was the best game of your career and what sneakers did you wear?
RG: I was young. I had 41 against Miami and at the time that was my career high. I remember I had my PE on and I forgot what they were called—they had two straps on them and they were also available in retail, but I forgot the name of the shoe (laughs). But they were basically my shoe. I felt like I made it.
(The sneakers were the Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Rudy Gay PE)
JH: What is the most important thing to ever happen for sneaker culture?
RG: The most important thing to happen to sneaker culture is retro-ing. Air Jordans have always been retroed but it wasn't always as cool as it is now. You hate to say it, but Kanye wore the Jordan VIs and the IVs and brought them out all the time, and he would wear them with everything and people took a liking to that. Even Kid Cudi, people like him, he always wore Jordans.
JH: Have you ever had a moment while playing where you stopped and was like man, what are those? Who was it?
RG: Yeah, it was against Ray Allen when he was with the Boston Celtics. We played against them around Christmas and he had the white and gold Air Jordan elevens on and I remember we went to the same college, so I already thought in my mind he was going to give me those shoes right after the game, and he was like Nah, these are the only pair I got. It was one of those situations, because he wears a 13 and I wear a 14, that I would have had to take the sole out (laughs).
P.J. Tucker Q&A: What Does The NBA's Sneaker King Take On The Road?
JH: Who are some other NBA sneakerheads you respect?
RG: It's a lot of them. Jarrett Jack has a nice collection. P.J. Tucker, but I think he is more of a Hypebeast [guy] though. He be wanting to crack everyone over the head like, yeah, I wore these. And I've done that before—it is what it is, but man, he be wasting money. He be making people in the crowd cry over those shoes. They spend thousands of dollars on them and be guarding LeBron in them.
JH: Do you have grails you still need for your closet?
RG: I gave them away [to a friend], and I don't know why I did this, but the Nike Yeezy 2, the grey ones. I have no idea why I gave them to him. They were a size too big, they were a 15, but where I'm from we call that jail feet—make yourself fit into any pair of shoes because they are nice.

Keep up your energy levels with these chocolate peanut butter puffed quinoa balls.
Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced). Place puffed quinoa in a single layer on a large baking tray. Roast for 4 minutes, or until light golden and toasted.
Place peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan over a low heat. Warm gently, and stir until well combined, smooth and mixture just comes to the boil. Working quickly, add the honey mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Using slightly wet hands (to prevent sticking) squeeze tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
Tip: Puffed quinoa is quinoa grain that is puffed (popped) in a hot pan to give it a slightly nutty taste and crisp texture. Puffed quinoa can be purchased in health food stores and some delis. You can swap the puffed quinoa with puffed millet or amaranth.

Q: variance of multiple variables Mean or $E(X)$ is linear, so it's valid to write $$E(x_1 + x_2 + x_3) = E(x_1) + E(x_2) + E(x_3)$$ But $Var(x)$ is not linear, so we write $$Var(ax_1 + bx_2 ) = a^2Var(x_1) + b^2Var(x_2) + 2ab\;Cov(x_1,x_2)$$ In the following question finding mean is easy and I'm getting it $40$mm. But I'm finding it difficult to get the variance. If I use independency I could simply add the variances but that is giving me wrong answer. Since no  unit is specified in the question I'm assuming that they are asking variance of sample mean. So, I'm thinking some thing like this
$$0.02 = \frac{\sigma_1^2}{100} \Rightarrow \sigma_1^2 = 2$$
$\sigma_1^2$ is the variance for 100 lamination.
$$0.01 = \frac{\sigma_1^2}{200} \Rightarrow \sigma_2^2 = 2$$
$\sigma_2^2$ is the variance for $2*100$ coatings.
$$var(core) = \frac{\sigma_1^2}{100} + \frac{\sigma_2^2}{200} = 0.03$$
This is not the answer. Any suggestions?

Q. The mean thickness and variance of silicon steel laminations are $0.2$ mm and $0.02$ respectively. The varnish insulation is applied on both the sides of the laminations. The mean thickness of one side
  insulation and its variance are $0.1$ mm and $0.01$ respectively. If the transformer core is made using
  $100$ such varnish coated laminations, the mean thickness and variance of the core respectively are ?

Answer is $40$ mm and $0.24$.

Corner Elected to American Academy of Arts and Letters
Professor Emeritus James Corner (MLA'86), the renowned landscape architect and urban designer who is founder and CEO at James Corner Field Operations, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The honor is widely considered the highest form of recognition of artistic merit in the United States.
"Jim has been a major force in both design theory and landscape architecture practice, and his teaching at Penn was central to that," says Fritz Steiner, dean and Paley Professor at the Weitzman School.
Richard Weller, professor and chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Martin and Margy Meyerson Chair of Urbanism, says, "Jim lit up the field with his writings on ecology, urbanism, and design and then went on to build seminal projects such as the High Line and Freshkills Park in New York."
Corner is one of just 29 newly elected members for 2021—along with Barbara Kingsolver, Wynton Marsalis, and Faith Ringgold—and one of only six architects. Membership in the Academy is limited to 300 architects, visual artists, composers, and writers who are elected for life by vote of the existing membership and pay no dues.
Since earning his Master of Landscape Architecture degree at Penn in 1986, Corner has devoted the past 30+ years to advancing the field of landscape architecture and urbanism, primarily through his leadership on high-visibility, complex urban projects around the world, as well as through teaching, public speaking and writing. At Penn, he has served on the faculty in the Department of Landscape Architecture since 1989 and was the chair from 2000 through 2012.
Corner's many contributions to the urban public realm include New York's highly acclaimed High Line; Chicago's Navy Pier; Seattle's Central Waterfront; London's South Park at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park; Hong Kong's Victoria Dockside; and Shenzhen's new city of Qianhai, a coastal city for 3-million people. His work has been published broadly and exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum; National Building Museum; Royal Academy of Arts, London; and Venice Biennale. His books include The High Line: Foreseen/Unforeseen (Phaidon, 2015), The Landscape Imagination (Princeton, 2014), and Taking Measures Across the American Landscape (Yale, 1996). He was named by TIME as one of "Ten Most Influential Designers," by Fast Company as one of the "Top 50 Innovators," and his firm received the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in 2010.
Corner is the fifth Penn-affiliated architect elected to the Academy, following Thom Mayne, Cret Chair Professor of Practice in the Department of Architecture at the Weitzman School; Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, who received the Kanter Tritsch Medal for Excellence in Architecture and Environmental Design from the Weitzman School in 2018; Laurie Olin, practice professor emeritus in the Department of Landscape Architecture; and Peter Eisenman, who received the Kanter Tritsch Medal in 2020.
The American Academy of Arts and Letters was founded in 1898 as an honor society of the country's leading architects, artists, composers, and writers. Early members include William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Julia Ward Howe, Henry James, Edward MacDowell, Theodore Roosevelt, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, John Singer Sargent, Mark Twain, and Edith Wharton.
Corner and the other new members and four honorary members will be inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters during its virtual award ceremony on Wednesday, May 19 at 7:00 pm EST.

The moment I have been prepping for is nearly here. All of the injections, blood draws, scans, pills and whatever else I have been through have lead me to this moment. To this very moment motherhood is only one embryo transfer away. It's strange to think about. I walk in not pregnant and will walk out a few hours later pregnant until proven otherwise.
The pregnancy part scares me. The unknowns terrify me. I wish we could install a window in our bellies so we could see what they are up to. Ultrasounds give us a peek, but sometimes that peek is to much to bare. I've heard the words "there is no heart beat and followed five years later by "there is no yolk or fetal pole." The ultrasound brought those words into my reality, they showed me that my children were no longer living. In those moments of grief I found hope. My heart she may be broken, but she is hopeful for a baby in her arms.
That hope and unwavering spirit brought me to IVF. IVF is not for the faint of heart, it is a battle from the start and you must keep going until you have nothing left to give. My stomach though bloated (leggings are my best friend right now), is a war zone full of bruised injection sites and estrogen patches. There is no guarantee that I will win this battle, that I will get to bring a baby home, but deep down I know that I gave it my all.
Sometime this month two beautiful little embryos will be transferred back to me with Jay at my side. The decision to do two wasn't easy but based on my age, it is our best course. I pray with all of my heart that this will work, that some how some way God will settle the score and let me keep one or two of my own. He already has two pieces of me in heaven and my heart will always be broken, yet she has room for more. For more babies, more love, more hope, and mostly more strength.
Strength and faith are the only two things that have kept me going on this journey. Many times I wanted to fold, yet I dug deep and carried on. Losing two babies is more than one soul can handle, my heart goes out to the ladies who have more losses than I do. Those ladies, are the hero's of this world as they are walking around with a tattered heart. My heart she may be broken, but she is ready.

Can Acupuncture increase IFV success rate?
There are many researches done on the subject of IFV and Acupuncture as a tool to increase the success rate, and all come back positive. At Healing Cedar Wellness, we have seen it many times and have assisted many couple in realizing their dream of becoming parents. If you have questions, feel free to give us a call or e-mail us.
Here's a few but you can find many more on the web.
regulating fertility hormones - stress and other factors can disrupt the function of the hypothalamic pituitary-ovarian axis (HPOA), causing hormonal imbalances that can negatively impact fertility. Acupuncture has been shown to affect hormone levels by promoting the release of beta-endorphin in the brain, which affects the release of gonadotrophin releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, follicle stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland, and oestrogen and progesterone levels from the ovary (Ng 2008, Huang 2008, Lim 2010, Stener-Victorin 2010).
In 2002, a team of German researchers discovered that acupuncture significantly increased the odds of pregnancy among a group of 160 women who were undergoing IVF treatment. 42 % of the women who received acupuncture got pregnant, compared to 26 %of those who didn't receive the treatment.
Acupuncture may also help male fertility. Regular treatments have been shown to improve sperm counts and motility (the strength with which the sperm swim) for men with fertility problems but not always significantly. To improve the chances of pregnancy by natural means, acupuncture treatment would need to increase a man's sperm count over the threshold needed for conception.

Lisa Ann Murkowski (* 22. Mai 1957 in Ketchikan, Alaska-Territorium) ist eine US-amerikanische Politikerin (Republikanische Partei) und seit Dezember 2002 US-Senatorin für den Bundesstaat Alaska.

Ausbildung und Beruf
Lisa Murkowski besuchte die öffentlichen Schulen in Fairbanks und danach von 1975 bis 1977 zunächst die Willamette University in Salem. Sie schloss 1980 ihr Wirtschaftsstudium an der Georgetown University mit einem B.A. ab, fünf Jahre später erlangte sie den J.D. am College of Law der Willamette University. In der Folge wurde sie in die Anwaltskammer von Alaska aufgenommen und praktizierte von 1987 bis 1996 als Juristin in Anchorage.

Politische Laufbahn
Erste politische Erfahrungen sammelte Murkowski zwischen 1990 und 1991 als Mitglied einer vom Bürgermeister von Anchorage eingesetzten Arbeitsgruppe, die sich mit dem Problem der Obdachlosigkeit befasste. Von 1997 bis 1998 war sie in dieser Stadt in der Gleichstellungskommission tätig. Im Jahr 1998 wurde sie ins Repräsentantenhaus von Alaska gewählt, gab dieses Mandat jedoch auf, als ihr Vater, der neu gewählte Gouverneur Frank Murkowski, sie zu seiner Nachfolgerin im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten ernannte, dem sie seit dem 20. Dezember 2002 angehört. Im Jahr 2004 gewann sie die reguläre Wahl um den Senatssitz mit drei Prozentpunkten Vorsprung gegen den früheren Gouverneur Tony Knowles von der Demokratischen Partei. Im Senat sitzt sie im außenpolitischen Ausschuss. In ihrer Partei gilt sie – vor allem angesichts der jüngsten Erfolge deutlich konservativerer Mitglieder – als Vertreterin des moderaten Flügels; unter anderem nimmt sie in Bezug auf Abtreibungen eine Pro-Choice-Position ein.

Vor der Senatswahl 2010 unterlag sie in der parteiinternen Vorwahl (Primary) knapp dem von der Tea-Party-Bewegung und der ehemaligen Gouverneurin Sarah Palin unterstützten Rechtsanwalt Joe Miller. Sie kündigte jedoch an, bei der Hauptwahl im November als Write-in-Kandidatin gegen ihn und den demokratischen Bewerber Scott McAdams anzutreten. Dies bedeutete, dass ihr Name zwar nicht auf den Stimmzetteln stand, dieser von den Wählern aber eigenhändig eingetragen werden konnte. Nach Auszählung der Stimmzettel lag sie bei der Wahl 2010 sieben Prozentpunkte vor Miller. Sie war damit die erste Write-in-Kandidatin seit 1954, die in den Senat gewählt wurde. Joe Miller hatte die Nachzählung der Write-in-Stimmabgaben beantragt, dabei sollte geprüft werden, ob auch solche Write-ins gezählt werden können, in denen der Namen "Lisa Murkowski" nicht korrekt geschrieben wurde. Dieser Antrag wurde durch den Alaska Supreme Court am 10. Dezember 2010 in einer 4:0-Entscheidung abgewiesen. Hiergegen erhob Miller Klage beim Bundesbezirksgericht für Alaska; die Berufung wurde aber am 28. Dezember 2010 abgewiesen. Am 30. Dezember wurde Murkowski von Gouverneur Sean Parnell offiziell zur Siegerin erklärt, woraufhin sie am 3. Januar 2011 eine weitere Mandatsperiode im Senat antrat. Dort gehörte sie weiterhin der republikanischen Fraktion an. Bei den Wahlen 2016 und 2022 wurde sie im Amt bestätigt. Ihr aktuelles Mandat reicht bis zum 3. Januar 2029.

Positionen
Murkowski gilt insbesondere in Fragen von Frauenrechten als moderate Republikanerin.

Im März 2015 gehörte sie zu den sieben republikanischen US-Senatoren, die einen offenen Brief der übrigen 47 Republikaner in diesem Gremium zum iranischen Atomprogramm nicht unterzeichnete. Darin kritisierten die Unterzeichner das internationale Verhandlungsergebnis, versagten Präsident Obama ihre Unterstützung und kündigten den Führern des Iran an, sich nicht an die Vereinbarung gebunden zu sehen.

Murkowski und ihre republikanische Kollegin Susan Collins stimmten am 7. Februar 2017 im Senat gegen die als Bildungsministerin im Kabinett Trump nominierte Betsy DeVos. Dies führte zu einem Patt von 50:50 Stimmen, das durch die Stimme des Vizepräsidenten Mike Pence aufgehoben wurde. Es war das erste Mal in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten, dass ein Kabinettsmitglied durch die Stimme des Vizepräsidenten in sein Amt gewählt wurde. Murkowski und Collins begründeten ihr Votum damit, dass DeVos eine zu einseitige Haltung im Bezug auf das Bildungssystem habe und private Schulen den öffentlichen vorziehe.

Murkowskis Stimme für die von der republikanischen Mehrheit im Kongress geplante Gesundheitsreform zur Abschaffung von Obamacare war in der ersten Jahreshälfte 2017 lange unsicher. Ihre Entscheidung, die daraufhin erwogene sofortige Abschaffung von Obamacare ohne gleichzeitigen Beschluss eines Gegenkonzepts am 19. Juli 2017 abzulehnen – zusammen mit Shelley Moore Capito und Susan Collins –, ließ den Plan einer von den Republikanern allein durchgeführten Gesundheitsreform vorerst scheitern.

Vor der Bestätigung des von Präsident Trump vorgeschlagenen konservativen US Supreme Court-Kandidaten Brett Kavanaugh galt Murkowski zusammen mit zwei demokratischen Senatoren (Heidi Heitkamp und Joe Manchin) und zwei Republikanern (Jeff Flake und Susan Collins) lange als unentschieden. Anders als Flake, Collins und Manchin stimmte sie am 5. Oktober 2018 dagegen, die Beratung abzuschließen und damit für den Folgetag die Abstimmung über Kavanaugh zu ermöglichen. Am folgenden Tag stimmte sie gegen alle anderen Senatoren der Republikaner nicht für die Bestätigung Kavanaughs, sondern mit anwesend, um das Stimmverhältnis trotz der Verhinderung eines anderen Republikaners beizubehalten. Kavanaugh wurde mit 50 zu 48 Stimmen bestätigt.

Nach dem Tod von Ruth Bader Ginsburg kurz vor der Präsidentschaftswahl 2020 äußerte Murkowski die Ansicht, dass erst der neu gewählte Präsident den Kandidaten für den US Supreme Court nominieren solle. Allerdings schloss sich nur eine weitere republikanische Senatorin, Susan Collins, dieser Ansicht an, so dass letztlich die von Präsident Trump nominierte Amy Coney Barrett mit 52 zu 48 Stimmen durch den Senat bestätigt wurde.

Nach dem Sturm auf das Kapitol in Washington am 6. Januar 2021 war Murkowski die erste Senatorin der Republikanischen Partei, die US-Präsident Trump zum Rücktritt aufforderte. Bei dem darauffolgenden zweiten Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen Donald Trump unterstützte sie dieses und stimmte als eine von sieben republikanischen Senatoren für einen Schuldspruch Trumps.

Facebook to implement "Satire" tags feature
Social media giant Facebook is now testing a new feature that helps users distinguish between satirical stories from the real ones. Popular online satire sites such as "The Onion" are very popular on social media and there has been a tendency by users to jump the gun without reading the news through. Hence based on inputs and requests from users, Facebook is now planning to a role out a feature that helps distinguish between real news and fake news.
A Facebook representative was quote by mashable saying:
"We are running a small test which shows the text "[Satire]" in front of links to satirical articles in the related articles unit in News Feed. This is because we received feedback that people wanted a clearer way to distinguish satirical articles from others in these units".
A user even captured an image that had a small "[Satire]" tag on the right side bar in the "related stories" section in the newsfeed. However, that tag is only visible only after a user clicks on a link from the satire website. As per reports from industry insiders, the social media company has been testing this feature for over a month and has even inducted some of the top satire websites into the testing phase.
It remains to be seen as to how this news feature will function in terms of its benefits to the users at large. One thing is clear it will help clear communication and reduce plenty of misinformation being circulated on social media. A lot of inaccurate reporting will also benefit from this feature.
There are no possible downsides of such a feature. But sites that circulate fake news, as real news will most definitely be hampered. In times when social media is on its way to being a beast, such a feature will function as a small cog in the wheel for implanting balances and checks in this medium.
Coming soon: Native shopping platform on Twitter?
We might be moving closer to a new and interesting development in the social media space. Micro-blogging site Twitter seems to be moving in the direction of adding payments to its app.
Multiple users witness a new "payments and shipping" option on the settings page for the Android app of Twitter. However, the option was not functional. But there has not been any official comment from the company regarding this.
The new "Payments and shipping" option may be a feature that the company wishes to add to the site. It is standard norm for social media sites to test waters with news features for fewer users before the big launch. It is difficult to gauge if this was a test or not but the possibility of Twitter launching a native shopping platform cannot be ruled out.
Some readers may remember that in June, there was an option called "Buy now" on Twitter that popped alongside Tweets from shopping site "Fancy". Interestingly, "Payments and shipping" option was visible only for mobile devices and not for the web version.
The speculation about a native shopping platform's launch is also fueled by the last acquisition of Twitter, which was CardSpring, a startup helping brands in building infrastructure to support mobile payments.
If in due course of time, Twitter does actually go ahead with a native shopping app, it would make perfect business sense as it would help them garner more investment and enhance user engagement.
PokerStars launches first regulated online poker room in Bulgaria
Online poker giant PokerStars launched their website in Bulgaria thereby becoming the first operator to kick-start regulated online poker operations in the country.
It took 8 months for the authorities to approve the application and grant the license to PokerStars.
Head of Corporate Communications for the Rational Group, Eric Hollreiser
"PokerStars strives to be first-in-market when online poker licenses are made available and we're proud to be the first locally licensed poker site in Bulgaria. We believe in the potential of the Bulgarian market and that is why our company has invested in the local license".
As per the Bulgarian law players from all over the world can play and not just the players within Bulgaria.
Hence, PokerStars.bg can now join PokerStars' regional online poker rooms in countries such as Denmark, Estonia and Belgium. They can use these countries to contribute additional player liquidity to their dot-com and dot-eu player domains.
Player from Bulgaria will have to move their accounts to the dot-bg domain and also download the new software. All player account details like vip points etc. will be carried forward.
Online poker rooms in Bulgaria operating without a license are blacklisted. Internet service providers in the country are expected to block people trying to access online poker sites without government approval.
Even PokerStars was blacklisted in 2013 as they did not have a government approved licensed. After applying and acquiring a license to operate a regulated online poker room in the country, the ban on PokerStars was revoked.
Professional Players on Full Tilt can now file petition for reimbursement with GCG
It has been several months now since Garden City Group (GCG) began reimbursing Full Tilt Poker player. Multiple rounds of repayment process have taken place. But now an announcement has been made by GCG that they are now accepting petitions for reimbursement from "professional players" from US.
This was made by the company on the Full Tilt Poker Claims website this past week. As per the update, any player who was designated as a "pro" on FTP is eligible for filing a petition to claim their pending funds. Friends of Full Tilt as well as Red Pros are included in this list.
September 3 is the last date by which, players who belong to the profession player category can file their petitions on the FTP Claims website for remission. Only a portion of their player account balance will be allowed to recover with regards to poker transactions. Affiliate income will not be reimbursement for these players.
Based on a file received by GCG, notices were sent out on August 4 to all the players categorized under "professional players". The notification also provides clear instructions to players about the documents required and the process to be followed to claim their funds.
Any information that can help players get their cash like emails, bank statements, screen shots or other proof has been requested by the group. If there is lack of evidence, players can send an email to explain the discrepancy. A section players that have already filed such a petition before will have to submit a new one with the required details.

PokerStars 7 on the verge of official launch
With their acquisition by Amaya Gaming finally complete, online poker giant PokerStars is preparing to launch their new poker client. The development work is in its final stages and we may be only a few days away from the big official launch.
The new poker client is being rolled out slowly and for now it is being called PokerStars 7. The past weekend witnessed the launch of an integrated" beta on PokerStars' dot-Eu client.
People who are members of popular online poker forums will know that the beta version was already available. But the integrated" beta version was initially tested by PokerStars Spain in July. It is this version that boasts of major upgrades in the menu, advertisements in pop-ups and an automatic upgrade to PokerStars 7 for users who are downloading the software for the first time.
Licensed in Malta, PokerStars.Eu has of poker players from numerous European countries. A similar rollout is planned for the main PokerStars dot-com website as well. This has been touted as the most significant upgrade in the history of PokerStars.
Those that have been part of the testing process have reported that the new lobby is aesthetically designed along with options for quick-seat systems, new sign-up flow and revamped favorites. New features include live events calendar, tournament chip count graphs and new default table theme.
Reddit compiles reddit_101 to help users
Reddit's interface and long conversation threads can be tough to comprehend for a first-timer. Hence, several subreddits (in excess of 200) joined hands to curate an official guide for news and information aggregation on Reddit this week. Their goal is to help users enjoy the site and also understand the guidelines of the site.
Despite the company being around 10 years old, several new users keep discovering the site and want to read and make sense of it. A section called "reddiquette" comprises of FAQ's, rules and etiquette tips. It is available on the bottom of the Reddit homepage.
However, most users requested that all rules should be available at a singular location. Hence the site took up this measure to offer a better experience for their users. But Reddit has not developed this guide on its own and it is more of collaboration.
As per mashable, the representative of Reddit said:
"The community ... came together to build this guide and are featuring it as a stickied thread. We think it's great that our community is working together to help educate new users on best practices for the site, and it's something we are supporting on our end as well."
Some of the main features of this one-stop-guide include all basic Reddit website definitions and terms, reporting bugs and rules for posting comments and content.
This is a great new initiative by the company and is bound to make the website more enjoyable for existing as well as new users.
Facebook releases first update to Slingshot
Facebook updated its photo-messaging app Slingshot on last week. It is the first time the social media giant has added new features to this app since it was launched. The new feature enables users to react to reaction messages.
Before this addition, users could view a message only with a single reaction and did not have to send their own reaction first. The app retains the original feature of unlocking new slings with replies. But now users can exchange reaction messages without any specific limit.
This does not seem to be a big addition to the app, which has not gained popularity among users. But it may prove to be significant especially because several users were skeptical about the Sling's shot-for-shot dynamic. So sending a reaction to a reaction may be a game-changer for this app.
The new update has improved the procedure of adding friends with a tab called "My People". This new tab display you entire friend list from Facebook as well the contacts on your phone as one list.
Users are also able to send texts to contacts that don't have this app.
Facebook has been making a conscious effort to develop mobile-products. They have been trying to launch their own version of Snapchat. As we reported on this blog before, Instagram's Bolt (a photo-messaging app) was launched in three countries.
Password-sharing startup Mitro acquired by Twitter
Mitro, the password-sharing startup, founded in 2012 by Adam Hilss has managed to raise a funding of $2.4million. Mitro is an extension to the web browser that enables people to save and share passwords. Google Ventures and Matrix Partners have supported Mitro.
The acquisition of Micro by Twitter was announced by the startup via a blog post on Thursday.
"We're excited to announce that the Mitro team is joining Twitter's location team in New York, focusing on a variety of geo-related projects! As we transition to Twitter, we want to provide you with some updates on our product".
However, the blog post did not reveal the financial details of the acquisition. Another interesting bit of news that was announced by Mirco was its release of "server and client code" on Github, which will allow others to build on it.
After Facebook's acquisition spree, Twitter too has continued adding new companies to their fold. After Mitro, they went ahead to buy out image search company Madbits as well.
New install-app ad "Bolt" appears on Instagram
In an interesting development this week, an ad or a new app called "Bot" appeared on picture sharing site Instagram. This was first reported by technology website techcrunch as some Android users confirmed seeing the new ad on Instagram.
The content on the ad was similar to any ad that shows how to install apps on Facebook's news feed.
But the link to install was dead and Facebook withdrew the ads soon. A spokesperson of Instagram told mashable that the company does not have anything for public information.
There is no consensus from within the social media and tech industry as to what could explain appearance of Bolt.
One explanation points to the fact Instagram may be testing ads for Facebook. However, advertising on Instagram commenced only during the fall and it is definitely very early for he company to experiment with banner style adverts.
Another explanation highlights the fact Facebook may be developing a new app and it was a technical fault that led to sharing it on the site. A similar incident happened when they were planning to release Slingshot into the app store.
The second theory also gains weightage as the firm has repeatedly expressed their desire to build more apps in 2014.
If it indeed is an app, it remains to be seen what kind of app the company would be interested in building. Facebook already has several messaging apps.
Or may be we can put conspiracy theories to rest as it could have been just a feature Facebook and Instagram may want to have tested.

Lucretia MacEvil
Moral Defense: A Samantha Brinkman Book by Marcia Clark (Thomas & Mercer, $24.95, 416 pages)
I quite enjoyed Marcia Clark's first two criminal justice system novels, Guilt By Association and Guilt By Degrees. At that time Clark's writing was biting but concise; somewhat in the vein of Michael Connelly. David Baldacci wrote, "Clark's pace, plot and dialogue are as sharp as they come." Well, those days seem to be over.
Moral Defense is not a terrible work, but it's far too long at 416 pages, and Clark should have relied on the main story – about a young woman whose family members were brutally attacked – instead of loading the novel up with multiple crime stories. Defense attorney Sam Brinkman ties up so many loose ends in this tale that she might as well be a seamstress. Unlike prosecutor Rachel Knight, who seems to represent Clark's alter ego, Brinkman is a Super Woman in a decidedly unlikeable package. She's as mean – and perhaps as evil, as the dastardly criminals she represents.
The key problem is that Clark has devolved to a writing style that's choppy and no longer crisp. This was especially true of the first 200 pages. By the time the second half speeds up, the reader has long passed the point of caring about the denouements. Not good. Not good at all.
A review copy was received from the publisher.
This book was released on November 8, 2016.

As Good as Dead
Inherit the Dead: A Novel by Lee Child, et al. (Touchstone, $25.99, 288 pages)
Twenty Thrilling Writers. One Chilling Mystery.
Mystery fans will be happy to know that the twenty writers who contributed to this serial novel are supporting a good cause, Safe Horizon — a charity in support of victims of violent crimes. Lisa Unger, Lawrence Block, Marcia Clark and John Connolly are this reviewer's favorites in the mix. In a serial novel, each writer adds to the story thread in his or her own writing style (although each author was given an outline of the plot).
The plot twists and scenes follow along with these styles. Some chapters are all action and others are based on character conversations. Entries at the conclusion of several chapters are printed in a different type font — clearly originating from an unseen character who is either bonkers or a sociopath.
Pericles "Perry" Christo is hired to find a missing heiress named Angelina (Angel for short). Perry is a former New York Police Department homicide detective who is down on his luck but not defeated. Angel's mom is fading fast and wants to reconnect with her daughter. The hunt for Angel takes Perry from New York City to the Hamptons and back.
Inherit the Dead is a good read with plenty of tension building to the reveal.
Inherit the Dead was released on October 8, 2013.

"Things in life are both big and small in equal proportion." The New York Chronicle
"Suspension of disbelief" is a phrase that is often used by book reviewers, and when it is, it's usually not good news. When someone states that they could not suspend their disbelief, it means that the story they were reading (or the film they were watching) never felt real. I don't know about others, but when I begin to read a fictional work that does not feel real, I get a mental picture of the writer in question at a computer struggling to figure out the next word, sentence, paragraph, chapter… The choppy feeling of a not-quite-true creation overwhelms the potentially positive experience of encountering a new world.
I suspect that it's hardest for someone to suspend their disbelief when they're reading a novel about the very world that they inhabit. Let's say, for example, that I was to write a novel about a major, fictional rock star. I think that actual rock musicians would be the toughest critics as they likely would find the story to be too "over-the-top" (not every rock band tears up hotel rooms), or find that it failed to reflect the tedium of life on the road. Most likely, a musician would want to find a story that he or she could relate to – one that would equally balance the drama and boring aspects of the professional music maker's life. And, he or she would want to read a story in which – as in life – what comes next is never predictable.
My experience of having worked in many aspects of the criminal justice system may explain why it is usually the hardest for me to locate the supposed realism in courtroom dramas and crime novels. I usually find fault from two different perspectives. Firstly, these novels often start off with plot lines that are far too tricky; too many authors seem to have been influenced by the shenanigans of John Grisham, who seems to need overly complicated and unrealistic stories to grab the reader's interest. The same is true for the too-clever endings inspired by another successful writer, Scott Turow.
The plot for these books often centers around something that's not going to happen – like the killing of a major U.S. senator's wife (at a time when the senator just happens to be having an affair). But most of what goes on in the criminal justice system is not so dramatic. If I were to attempt to write a book about the average case, it might involve a young man who has experienced numerous small scrapes with the law before some friends encourage him to ride along with them on a lark. It's during this ride that someone gets killed and our young man – being the only one with a criminal history – takes the fall. Yes, I know, many publishers would think this is relatively dull stuff, but as John Lennon used to say, "…that's reality."
The second issue I have with these novels is that despite the dramatic plots, the characters often seem to be cut from cardboard. They're pretty lifeless compared to the often big personalities that inhabit the criminal justice system. There are public prosecutors who wear $1,000 suits and drive cars meant for millionaires. There are prosecutors and public defenders who don't necessarily love their co-workers, and some prosecutors and public defenders have been known to have a drink together. Some deputy district attorneys don't always get along with law enforcement officers. In other words, life in the halls of justice and the courtrooms is a bit messier than it's portrayed in the latest crime novel. It's also certainly not as "clean" as a typical episode of Law and Order.
I think what's forgotten is that these are real human beings, with great strengths and corresponding flaws; and they live and work in an imperfect world, a somewhat less than perfect criminal justice system.
What's the moral of this article? Simply that I'd love to see criminal justice system-based fiction that tones down the overly dramatic plots while raising the volume on the unique individuals who make their living within the law. Is there a writer who gets the characters right? Yes, I'm glad you asked… Interestingly, former prosecutor Marcia Clark (Guilt By Degrees, Guilt By Association) seems to portray some very realistic figures in her novels, although she cloaks them in the guise of sarcasm and humor. Still, it's a start and want-to-be crime novelists would do well to read her work, and/or spend some actual time with the prosecutors, public defenders, defense attorneys, and policemen and policewomen who work very tough jobs that are so very rarely accurately portrayed.

Нагі́рна про́повідь — серія повчань Ісуса Христа, які записані в 5, 6 і 7 главах Євангелія від Матвія і містять основні елементи його морального вчення.

Згідно з Євангелієм від Матвія, Ісус виголосив ці свої повчання на схилі певної неназваної гори і скерував їх до своїх учнів та до великої юрби народу.

Найвідомішими частинами нагірної проповіді є блаженства, молитва «Отче наш», заповіді не противитися злу, не судити інших.

Нагірна проповідь впроваджує суворі етичні принципи, часто загострюючи і поглиблюючи моральні закони, які існували перед тим. Наприклад, не лише «не вбивай», але й «не гнівайся», «помирися з братом» (), не лише «не чужолож», але й «не дивись з пожаданням на жінку ближнього свого» ().

Походження тексту проповіді

Ті, що приймають давню церковну традицію, що саме апостол Матвій є автором однойменного Євангелія, вважають, що нагірна проповідь є дійсними словами Ісуса, записаними євангелістом.

Багато сучасних біблеїстів ставлять під сумнів походження Євангелія від Матвія і, відповідно, нагірної проповіді як його частини. Багато з них вважає, що нагірна проповідь не була виголошена так, як подає її євангеліст Матвій, а є вона композицією з різних висловлювань Ісуса, більша частина з яких походить з так званого гіпотетичного джерела Q, яким користувалися євангелісти Матвій і Лука. Євангеліє від Луки, на думку цих науковців, достовірніше передає контекст і порядок висловлювань Ісуса. Проте така точка зору є цілком суб'єктивною, не підкріпленою переконливими аргументами, а породженою упередженим ставленням до християнства, зокрема, до Ісуса Христа.

Місце і час виголошення проповіді

Згідно з традицією, нагірна проповідь була виголошена близько 30 р. н. е. на північному узбережжі Генезаретського озера, неподалік Капернаума, на пагорбі, який зараз називають горою Блаженств. У 1936—1938 роках на горі Блаженств, неподалік від Табхи, за проектом Антоніо Барлуццізбудовано Церкву Блаженств з мозаїками з IV–VI ст., що свідчить про давню традицію цього місця.

Структура проповіді

 Вступ () — велика юрба народу збирається заради Ісуса, який оздоровляв недужих. Тоді він зійшов на гору і почав навчати зібраний народ.
 Блаженства ().
 Метафори «Ви сіль землі» і «Ви світло світу» ().
 Пояснення, реінтерпретація і поглиблення Мойсеєвого закону, подані у формі антитез: «Ви чули, що було сказано… А я кажу вам…» ().
 Засудження здійснення напоказ добрих діл посту, милостині і молитви. Заклик не турбуватися про матеріальні справи, а шукати спершу Царства Божого ().
 У рамках цієї частини проповіді міститься т. зв. Молитва Господня («Отче наш») () як приклад правильної молитви.
 Заклик не судити інших ().
 Бесіда про святість, підсумок усієї проповіді, пересторога перед лжепророками, звернення уваги на важкість сповнення добрих вчинків ()

Інтерпретація

У біблеїстиці та у християнстві існують різні способи інтерпретації нагірної проповіді:
 Проповідь містить етику тимчасового стану (т. зв. Interimsethik) і вказівки, призначені виключно на період близького кінця світу. Їх виконання є нагодою до здійснення для Бога покутних вчинків. Оскільки кінець світу не настав, то етика нагірної проповіді втратила своє первісне значення. Таке бачення властиве критичній біблеїстиці, заснованій на атеїзмі.
 Накази нагірної проповіді неможливі до виконання, оскільки лише Ісус міг їх повністю виконати. Проповідь має на меті вказати людям їхню недосконалість, спонукати їх до покаяння і очікування спасіння виключно від Бога. Таку інтерпретацію пропонував Мартін Лютер, а за ним і більшість протестантських Церков.
 Проповідь скерована виключно до Христових учнів, а не до всіх людей. Тільки еліта досконалих людей — наступників учнів — спроможна виконати моральні принципи, що містяться в проповіді. Вже св. Августин вважав, що проповідь становить «perfectus vitae christianae modus», тобто досконалий спосіб християнського життя. Таку інтерпретацію приймала частина католицьких екзегетів, особливо після Тридентського собору.
 Проповідь містить елементи важкі до виконання, проте вони все ж таки є обов'язковими до виконання для всіх вірних. Для сповнення цих наказів необхідною є Божа благодать, котру всі люди отримали через спасіння, яке приніс Ісус. Це найчастіша сучасна католицька і православна інтерпретація.

How to thrive as a little fish in a big pond
Meg Timbrell
Content & Social Media Manager
Would you rather be a big fish in a little pond, or a little fish in a big pond?
You might have heard this question being asked in interviews, in an attempt to gain more of an understanding of the personality type of their potential employee. But is there a right answer?
Recent studies have shown that people who feel the 'little fish in a big pond' effect will have less self-belief, when people who achieve equally as well in a 'smaller pond' tend to have more confidence. As the leader of the recent Stanford University study on this says:
"We have a tendency to compare ourselves to others in terms of our abilities and, because of that, we tend to feel better or worse about ourselves. It is fundamental to who we are."
— Prashant Loyalka, Assistant Professor, Stanford Graduate School of Education
Here's a bit more about the little fish big pond effect:
In this article we're going to cover the benefits of being in both, and prove that you can feel confidence and succeed no matter what the pond size. And of course there will be those days where you feel like a great white shark, and others a tiny clownfish, and this is okay.
Whatever situation you have moved from and have now found yourself in:
Whether you've moved from a small school where you were at the top of your class, to a huge university campus where you feel like an average Joe…
Or being a big name on campus at university, and have found yourself being the youngest member of a big corporation (struggling with imposter syndrome too)...we've got you covered.
Benefits of being a big fish in a small pond:
Challenging the status quo:
Big fish tend to be more influential figures, having the power to make a real impact on those around them. With this influence can come real change if you're willing to make it.
More recognition for your successes:
Smaller achievements can feel like greater gains when you're a big fish and you're more noticeable.
Being a big fish in a little pond can often help make you feel more validated and more confident, but it often prevents you from doing more with life...
Benefits of being a little fish in a big pond:
You'll have a bigger network to engage with:
Being in a bigger pond will only expand your network, if you let it. You'll have more individuals around you to inspire you and to learn from, increasing your contacts for you to potentially use in the future.
Room to improve and grow:
There is every opportunity for you to grow from a little fish into a big fish when placed into a big pond. Often there doesn't feel like enough incentive when you've already reached the top of your game in a small pond, being a big fish already. But placed into this environment, the small fish can thrive, aspiring to bigger and better things (whether that's higher marks in an exam, or a promotion at work).
These benefits will only be reaped if you embrace your little fish status, as undervaluing yourself or your work as a little fish will only lead you to try less or give up. Seeking advice and growth from bigger fish such as mentors or senior people will only help you flourish. Try to remember that most people want to help others.
This is easier said than done, so here are some tips to embrace being in a big pond when you're a little fish:
Look back at the small ponds that you've outgrown and the achievements that have got you into the big pond. Be proud of your past and how far you've come.
As hard as it is, try your best not to compare yourself to others, and focus on YOU and your successes so far.
When you're feeling full of self-doubt, be nice to yourself. Treat yourself how you would a friend who's feeling this way: buy yourself something new, take a bath, cook a delicious dinner or just binge some Netflix with some ice-cream.
Reach out to friends or family for re-assurance. There's nothing wrong with having others boost your self-esteem and let you know that they're proud of you.
If self-confidence is something you struggle with, try things out like journalling (jotting down what you're grateful for each day or acknowledging the parts of you that you're proud of)
Celebrate everyday successes, no matter how small. Be your own cheerleader.
Stick on a Spotify playlist that's going to make you have a little boogie and feel confident!
A quote from Brad Sugars, Business and Career Coach, explores the idea of continually trying to aspire to a bigger pond: "Sometimes you need to jump into a bigger pond… Big fish in a small pond is no challenge at all." Think of the big pond as exciting and filled with endless possibilities.
It might feel overwhelming to jump into a big pond, but in the words of Dory from Finding Nemo, "just keep swimming!"
