Defining values is one thing, living them is another
This is how companies can better align with the values they claim to uphold.

Aaron Hurst is a globally recognized entrepreneur who works to create communities that are empowered to realize their potential. He is the CEO of Imperative, a B Corp advocating for Purpose-Oriented Workers and supporting the organizations that embrace them. Hurst is the author of The Purpose Economy (2014) and a regular advisor and thought partner for many global brands.
AARON HURST: I think we're recognizing more and more the importance of values. And when you ask people about their preferences for work and where they want to work, they often cite they want a company that has strong values that are aligned with theirs. So you see more and more CEOs, more and more leaders, investing in the articulation of their corporate values.
You see consulting firms making millions of dollars helping organizations, you know, define their values. What we're seeing consistently is this is not working. What's happening is CEOs are defining the values of the organization. They're putting them on a beautiful poster boards. They're putting them on websites. They're promoting them out there. They might be getting on a stage at a large conference for their employees and sharing the values and sharing why they matter to them. Maybe they're going down to that next layer of leaders and saying, we really want you to connect to these values. We want you to be able to tell stories about why those values matter to you. But even still, at that point, you're not getting the values lived by the organization.
The majority of people can't name the values of their company, much less actually be able to figure out how to change their job to align with those values. If you truly want to bring your values as an organization to life, everyone in your company needs to be able to tell stories about how those values show up in their daily job. If inclusion is one of your values, every employee needs to say, 'How does that show up on my job? Why does that matter to me?'
You know, if integrity is a value of your company, every employee needs to be able to articulate how that shows up in their work. And this is not as challenging a process as you may first think. The simple process of connecting your employees in pairs and having them talk about how has a given value shown up in their career, what does it mean to them?
Maybe the two of them think about that in a different way. And they can actually have a really meaningful conversation about what integrity means to you versus them. That helps them truly understand what that value is. And then to see: How does it show up in their job today and how could they do more around that value?
So picture in one hour if every employee in your organization sat down with a colleague and had a conversation about one of your values, and really went in-depth, and talked about how they see it differently, how it shows up for them, how they plan to build it into their work, how that one hour would completely transform your organization.
Defining corporate values is increasingly important to organizations and society—which is why consulting firms are making millions of dollars helping organizations define their values. What we're seeing consistently, says social innovator Aaron Hurst, is this is not working.
You can print values on posters and talk about them at conferences, but these values often fail to become part of the fabric of the organization. They remain upper-management-speak.
You could start to fix that problem in one hour, says Hurst. Try his recommended exercise: Connect your employees in pairs and ask them to talk about how a given value has shown up in their career, what does it mean to them? Values are only legitimate if everyone in your company can tell genuine stories about how those values have shown up in their daily jobs.

During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln decided to suspend habeas corpus, a protection in the Constitution that prohibited imprisonment without a trial.
From Lincoln's point of view, following the law to the letter during that unprecedented and pivotal moment in history (i.e. the threat of war and secession from the Union) would put lawfulness itself at risk, so some restrictions of civil liberties were necessary.
The war and the president's actions changed how the founding document is interpreted and sometimes challenged by the rule of men.

Is information the fifth form of matter?
Philip Perry
Researchers have been trying for over 60 years to detect dark matter.
There are many theories about it, but none are supported by evidence.
The mass-energy-information equivalence principle combines several theories to offer an alternative to dark matter.

The "discovery" of dark matter

We can tell how much matter is in the universe by the motions of the stars. In the1920s, physicists attempting to do so discovered a discrepancy and concluded that there must be more matter in the universe than is detectable. How can this be?

In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky, while observing the motion of galaxies in the Coma Cluster, began wondering what kept them together. There wasn't enough mass to keep the galaxies from flying apart. Zwicky proposed that some kind of dark matter provided cohesion. But since he had no evidence, his theory was quickly dismissed.

Then, in 1968, astronomer Vera Rubin made a similar discovery. She was studying the Andromeda Galaxy at Kitt Peak Observatory in the mountains of southern Arizona when she came across something that puzzled her. Rubin was examining Andromeda's rotation curve, or the speed at which the stars around the center rotate, and realized that the stars on the outer edges moved at the exact same rate as those at the interior, violating Newton's laws of motion. This meant there was more matter in the galaxy than was detectable. Her punch card readouts are today considered the first evidence of the existence of dark matter.

Many other galaxies were studied throughout the '70s. In each case, the same phenomenon was observed. Today, dark matter is thought to comprise up to 27% of the universe. "Normal" or baryonic matter makes up just 5%. That's the stuff we can detect. Dark energy, which we can't detect either, makes up 68%.

Dark energy is what accounts for the Hubble Constant, or the rate at which the universe is expanding. Dark matter on the other hand, affects how "normal" matter clumps together. It stabilizes galaxy clusters. It also affects the shape of galaxies, their rotation curves, and how stars move within them. Dark matter even affects how galaxies influence one another.

Leading theories on dark matter

NASA writes: 'This graphic represents a slice of the spider-web-like structure of the universe, called the "cosmic web." These great filaments are made largely of dark matter located in the space between galaxies.'

Since the '70s, astronomers and physicists have been unable to identify any evidence of dark matter. One theory is it's all tied up in space-bound objects called MACHOs (Massive Compact Halo Objects). These include black holes, supermassive black holes, brown dwarfs, and neutron stars.

Another theory is that dark matter is made up of a type of non-baryonic matter, called WIMPS (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). Baryonic matter is the kind made up of baryons, such as protons and neutrons and everything composed of them, which is anything with an atomic nucleus. Electrons, neutrinos, muons, and tau particles aren't baryons, however, but a class of particles called leptons. Even though the (hypothetical) WIMPS would have ten to a hundred times the mass of a proton, their interactions with normal matter would be weak, making them hard to detect.

Then there are those aforementioned neutrinos. Did you know that giant streams of them pass from the Sun through the Earth each day, without us ever noticing? They're the focus of another theory that says that neutral neutrinos, that only interact with normal matter through gravity, are what dark matter is comprised of. Other candidates include two theoretical particles, the neutral axion and the uncharged photino.

Now, one theoretical physicist posits an even more radical notion. What if dark matter didn't exist at all? Dr. Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth, in the UK, has a hypothesis he calls the mass-energy-information equivalence. It states that information is the fundamental building block of the universe, and it has mass. This accounts for the missing mass within galaxies, thus eliminating the hypothesis of dark matter entirely.

To be clear, the idea that information is an essential building block of the universe isn't new. Classical Information Theory was first posited by Claude Elwood Shannon, the "father of the digital age" in the mid-20th century. The mathematician and engineer, well-known in scientific circles—but not so much outside of them, had a stroke of genius back in 1940. He realized that Boolean algebra coincided perfectly with telephone switching circuits. Soon, he proved that mathematics could be employed to design electrical systems.

Shannon was hired at Bell Labs to figure out how to transfer information over a system of wires. He wrote the bible on using mathematics to set up communication systems, thereby laying the foundation for the digital age. Shannon was also the first to define one unit of information as a bit.

There was perhaps no greater proponent of information theory than another unsung paragon of science, John Archibald Wheeler. Wheeler was part of the Manhattan Project, worked out the "S-Matrix" with Niels Bohr and helped Einstein develop a unified theory of physics. In his later years, he proclaimed, "Everything is information." Then he went about exploring connections between quantum mechanics and information theory.

He also coined the phrase "it from bit" or that every particle in the universe emanates from the information locked inside it. At the Santa Fe Institute in 1989, Wheeler announced that everything, from particles to forces to the fabric of spacetime itself "… derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely … from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits."

Part Einstein, part Landauer

Vopson takes this notion one step further. He says that not only is information the essential unit of the universe but also that it is energy and has mass. To support this claim, he unifies and coordinates special relativity with the Landauer Principle. The latter is named after Rolf Landauer. In 1961, he predicted that erasing even one bit of information would release a tiny amount of heat, a figure which he calculated. Landauer said this proves information is more than just a mathematical quantity. This connects information to energy. Through experimental testing over the years, the Landauer Principle has held up.

Vopson says, "He [Landauer] first identified the link between thermodynamics and information by postulating that logical irreversibility of a computational process implies physical irreversibility." This indicates that information is physical, Vopson says, and demonstrates the link between information theory and thermodynamics.

In Vopson's theory, information, once created has "finite and quantifiable mass." It so far applies only to digital systems, but could very well apply to analogue and biological ones too, and even quantum or relativistic-moving systems. "Relativity and quantum mechanics are possible future directions of the mass-energy-information equivalence principle," he says.

In the paper published in the journal AIP Advances, Vopson outlines the mathematical basis for his hypothesis. "I am the first to propose the mechanism and the physics by which information acquires mass," he said, "as well as to formulate this powerful principle and to propose a possible experiment to test it."

The fifth state of matter

To measure the mass of digital information, you start with an empty data storage device. Next, you measure its total mass with a highly sensitive measuring apparatus. Then, you fill it and determine its mass. Next, you erase one file and evaluate it again. The trouble is, the "ultra-accurate mass measurement" device the paper describes doesn't exist yet. This would be an interferometer, something similar to LIGO. Or perhaps an ultrasensitive weighing machine akin to a Kibble balance.

"Currently, I am in the process of applying for a small grant, with the main objective of designing such an experiment, followed by calculations to check if detection of these small mass changes is even possible," Vopson says. "Assuming the grant is successful and the estimates are positive, then a larger international consortium could be formed to undertake the construction of the instrument." He added, "This is not a workbench laboratory experiment, and it would most likely be a large and costly facility." If eventually proved correct, Vopson will have discovered the fifth form of matter.

So, what's the connection to dark matter? Vopson says, "M.P. Gough published an article in 2008 in which he worked out … the number of bits of information that the visible universe would contain to make up all the missing dark matter. It appears that my estimates of information bit content of the universe are very close to his estimates."

Whether or not women think beards are sexy has to do with "moral disgust"
Molly Hanson

A new study found that women perceive men with facial hair to be more attractive as well as physically and socially dominant.
Women tend to associate more masculine faces with physical strength, social assertiveness, and formidability.
Women who display higher levels of "moral disgust," or feelings of repugnance toward taboo behaviors, are more likely to prefer hairy faces.

The beard is an ever contentious subject in the domain of male grooming practices. Love them or hate them, new research on heterosexual mating preferences offers clues about why some women fawn over facial hair.

Research by Tessa R. Clarkson et al. at the University of Queensland measured women's judgement of the attractiveness of men with varying levels of facial masculinity and beardedness. What they found was that women do indeed perceive men with facial hair to be more attractive as well as physically and socially dominant. Particularly, women with high levels of moral disgust.

Beards and perceptions of masculinity

Photo Credit: Wikimedia

The study used 919 American (mostly white) women ages 18-70 who rated 30 pictures of men they were shown with various stages of facial hair growth. The photographs depicted men with faces that had been digitally altered to look more feminine or more masculine, with a beard and without a beard. The women rated the men according to perceived attractiveness for long-term and short-term relationships. The study found that the more facial hair the men had, the higher the men were rated on their attractiveness, particularly for their suitability for a long-term relationship.

Part of this might be attributed to facial masculinity — i.e. protruding brow ridge, wide cheekbones, thick jawline, and deeply set narrow eyes — which conveys information to a woman about a man's underlying health and formidability. Women tend to associate more masculine faces with physical strength, social assertiveness, and formidability. It can also indicate a man with a superior immune response. The researchers suggested that their findings favoring bearded men could be due to the fact that facial hair enhances the masculine facial features on a man's face, like creating the illusion of a thicker jaw line. This could communicate direct benefits to women like resources and protection that would enhance survival among mothers and their infants. In other words, while a beard doesn't mean superior genetics in and of itself, it might be a primitive, ornamental way of saying, "Hey baby, I'm a testosterone-fueled lean, mean, pathogen fighting machine who will certainly provide for you and a future offspring."

It could also be that a beard becomes its own destiny. The researchers in this study cite prior research that found that by growing a beard, men felt more masculine and had higher levels of serum testosterone, which was linked to a higher level of social dominance. They also tended to subscribe to more old-school beliefs about gender roles in their relationships with women as compared to men with clean-shaven faces.

What does disgust have to do with beard preference?

Obviously, not all women dig beards. The researchers were particularly interested in what traits make a women prefer bearded men over clean-shaven faces. They looked into several factors including a woman's disgust levels on various concepts, her desire to become pregnant, and her exposure to facial hair in her personal life.

According to the study, women who were not into facial hair were turned-off by potential parasites or other critters they imagined could be in the hair or skin. Women ranking high on this "ectoparasite disgust" scale might have viewed beards as a sign of poor grooming habits. However, women who ranked higher in levels of "pathogen" did find the bearded men to be desirable, possibly because they perceived beards as a signal of good health and immune function. An intriguing discovery in the study was links to morality. Women who displayed higher levels of "moral disgust," or feelings of repugnance toward taboo behaviors, were more likely to prefer hairy faces. The authors opined that this could reflect a link between beardedness, politically conservative outlooks, and traditional views regarding performances of masculinity in heterosexual relationships.

Giphy
The correlations that existed between married and single women's rating on the attractiveness of beards were not particularly clear, although the researchers noted that single and married women who wanted children tended to find beards more attractive than the women who didn't want children. They also found that women with bearded husbands found beards to be more attractive, which might indicate that social exposure to beards influences how desirable they are perceived of as being. Or it could be that men with wives who like beards grow beards.

It's important to note that culture plays a huge role in how attractive women perceive certain male characteristics as being. This study looked at a small, culturally specific group of American women, so no big, universal claims should be made about masculinity, facial hair, and male desirability to women. However, research like this is important in highlighting how human grooming decisions are driven by much more than fashion trends. Sociobiological, economic, and ecological factors all play a part in the way we choose to present ourselves.

Sodexo employees are honoured for the completion of IFM programme
Sodexo has seen a second cohort successfully complete Sodexo's British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) accredited training programme.
At the Sodexo IFM Academy graduation ceremony on Monday (11 September), 11 employees from healthcare, education and corporate services completed the two-year programme to achieve a BIFM level 4 qualification. The accreditation gives them an insight into the FM marketplace and the skills and knowledge to manage and operate IFM contracts.
The next group of employees enrolled in the Sodexo IFM Academy are expected to graduate early next year.
With more than half of Sodexo's UK and Ireland relations being made up of IFM business, this programme is important to the continuous development of employees in the FM industry.
The BIFM programme has been adapted recently and the new cohorts are now launching as a Global academy which is being delivered across Sodexo. This will provide additional knowledge of international practices in the FM industry.
Andy Rogers, Sodexo UK & Ireland HR director, said: "This programme was a difficult one and reinforces the theory that development brings confidence. For the participants to have completed this qualification is a massive achievement and shows their commitment to their development. I am delighted to see another group of graduates come through our FM Academy. Their hard work, endeavour and perseverance has paid off. The graduates have shown immense effort and as HR Director I am very proud."
Emma Reason, programme manager, Sodexo UK & Ireland, said "'I am so pleased we have another group that have now graduated illustrating that the qualification is both achievable and a valuable part of delegates' development whilst also supporting our business journey. I look forward to even more people completing and starting our new Global IFM academy."
Julian Burton, Assessor from BIFM, said "Working closely with Sodexo's learning and development team to put in place the framework and process that will train and develop their teams towards the achievement of an internationally-recognised professional qualification aligned to FM professional standards has been a rewarding experience. Although it is a tasking process, it is one all graduates should be extremely proud of because they have come out on top.
"We take pride in the partnership we have with Sodexo because it is represented by an employer who truly values the skills that the BIFM-accredited qualifications and FM professional standards can introduce to its employees.
"I extend my congratulations to the individuals who have graduated today and look forward to recognising the achievements of many more individuals over the coming months and years ahead."

Hello, gorgeous! 'Pulse' technology may replenish skin's collagen
Tel Aviv University researcher harnesses pulsed electric fields to rejuvenate epidermal function and appearance
American Friends of Tel Aviv University
Americans spend over $10 billion a year on products and surgery in their quest to find a "fountain of youth," with little permanent success. Botulinum toxin -- notably Botox -- which smoothes lines and wrinkles to rejuvenate the aging face has been the number one nonsurgical procedure in the U.S. since 2000. But injections of this toxic bacterium are only a temporary solution and carry many risks, some neurological.
A team of Tel Aviv University and Harvard Medical School researchers has now devised a non-invasive technique that harnesses pulsed electric fields to generate new skin tissue growth. According to their research, the novel non-invasive tissue stimulation technique, utilizing microsecond-pulsed, high-voltage, non-thermal electric fields, produces scarless skin rejuvenation and may revolutionize the treatment of degenerative skin diseases.
The study, published recently in Scientific Reports, was led by Dr. Alexander Golberg of TAU's Porter School of Environmental Studies and the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Shriners Burns Hospital in Boston, in collaboration with Dr. William J. Austen, Jr. from the Department of Plastic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Martin L. Yarmush at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Shriners Burns Hospital in Boston, along with other prominent researchers.
An (effective) shock to the system
"Pulsed electrical field technology has many advantages, which have already proved effective -- for example, in food preservation, tumor removal, and wound disinfection," said Dr. Golberg. "Our new application may jumpstart the secretion of new collagen and capillaries in problematic skin areas. Considering that, in the modern era of aging populations and climate change, degenerative skin diseases affect one in three adults over the age of 60, this has the potential to be an healthcare gamechanger."
Current therapies to rejuvenate skin use various physical and chemical methods to affect cells and the extracellular matrix, but they induce unsightly scarring. Pulsed electric fields, however, affect only the cell membrane itself, preserving the extracellular matrix architecture and releasing multiple growth factors to spark new cell and tissue growth. By inducing nanoscale defects on the cell membranes, electric fields cause the death of a small number of cells in affected areas. The released growth factors increase the metabolism of the remaining cells, generating new tissue.
"We have identified in rats the specific pulsed electric field parameters that lead to prominent proliferation of the epidermis, formation of microvasculature, and secretion of new collagen at treated areas without scarring," said Dr. Golberg. "Our results suggest that pulsed electric fields can improve skin function and potentially serve as a novel non-invasive skin therapy for multiple degenerative skin diseases."
The researchers are currently developing a low-cost device for use in clinical trials in order to test the safety and efficacy of the technology in humans.
American Friends of Tel Aviv University supports Israel's most influential, most comprehensive, and most sought-after center of higher learning, Tel Aviv University (TAU). US News & World Report's Best Global Universities Rankings rate TAU as #148 in the world, and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings rank TAU Israel's top university. It is one of a handful of elite international universities rated as the best producers of successful startups, and TAU alumni rank #9 in the world for the amount of venture capital they attract.
A leader in the pan-disciplinary approach to education, TAU is internationally recognized for the scope and groundbreaking nature of its research and scholarship -- attracting world-class faculty and consistently producing cutting-edge work with profound implications for the future.

OnePlus TV Launching Soon in India with 4K HDR Display
OnePlus announced last year that it is exploring products other than smartphones as well. Recently, OnePlus 7 series was launched by the company including OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro. However, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau announced that their OnePlus TV with 4K panel is in the works. This was a surprise announcement to some as OnePlus has not launched products other than smartphones as of yet. Nonetheless, we had not heard about OnePlus TV ever since then.
But now, we are getting more details regarding OnePlus TV. We already knew straight from Pete that OnePlus TV will have a 4K panel. It is also reported now that OnePlus TV will support HDR. This means that OnePlus TV's panel will be a 4K HDR one. The display on OnePlus TV should be similar to Mi TV 4 Pro which has a 55-inch 4K HDR panel.
Ishan Agarwal on Twitter
Have some good news for you all: The OnePlus TV is not very far away, at least according to one source. The launch might be soon, so stay tuned. I have very high expectations from it, what about you? #OnePlus #OnePlusTV ?
The report comes to us thanks to a Twitter user named Ishan Agarwal. He says that he has received this information regarding OnePlus TV from his "source" which is aware of the matter. Also, he says that OnePlus TV is "not very far" and should be announced "soon". Although we don't know how soon the device could be announced, we sure hope that it will be in the next quarter. Also, there is a possibility of OnePlus TV coming along with the OnePlus 7T lineup.
According to OnePlus' strategy, the company is likely to release a "T" branded smartphone soon. Because OnePlus explained earlier that they have limited inventory and want to give the latest technology on their smartphones to its consumers. Thus, they have opted for the twice-a-year launch strategy. There is no revelation regarding OnePlus TV's pricing as of now but it should be priced similar to Mi TV 4 from Xiaomi. However, there is no official announcement regarding this so we should take the news with a pinch of salt.

HELSINKI (AP) — A Baltic Sea passenger ferry with nearly 300 people aboard has run aground in the Aland Islands archipelago between Finland and Sweden without injuries Sunday, and rescue officials were preparing to evacuate the vessel, Finnish authorities said. The Finnish coast guard tweeted that the M/S Amorella operated by ferry company Viking Line between the Finnish western port city of Turku and Swedish capital Stockholm is currently "stuck on the ground" south of the port of Langnas in the Aland Islands. "There are no reported human casualties," Viking Line said in a short statement adding that the situation with the vessel was "stable." It added that the vessel has around 200 passengers and a crew of 80 aboard. The coast guard got alerted of the incident just before 1 p.m. Finnish time. Authorities were investigating why the ferry ran aground. The Aland Islands, an autonomous Finnish territory, are midway between the two port cities and M/S Amorella was set to make a scheduled stop there en route to Stockholm.

Q: How do I run multiple external commands from python? I know there are available options like os and subprocess but they don't just do what I want yet
Let's say I have a list of external commands.myList = ['cd desktop','mkdir spotify'] and I want to run them all at once from python, I don't want to use os.chdir or any sub process method because that list is based up of user input and I can't just know in what index of the list they have to cd into a project, please help

A: So, the basic worry comes is about the cd command. for which we can make exceptional case by simply spliting and checking if the command is cd which will detect weather the command is cd or not.
So we will start of by making a function that will check our command
import os
import shlex

def is_cd(command: str) -> bool:
    command_split = shlex.split(command)
    return command_split[0] == "cd"  # this returns True if command is cd or False if not

now we can use our above function to identify if the command is cd or not.
Then we need to execute the command for which we will use the function below
def run_command(command: str) -> int:
    if is_cd(command):
         split_command = shlex.split(command)
         directory_to_change = ' '.join(split_command[1:])
         os.chdir(directory_to_change)
    else:  # if its a regular command
        os.system(command)

so our final code becomes
import os
import shlex

def is_cd(command: str) -> bool:
    command_split = shlex.split(command)
    return command_split[0] == "cd"  # this returns True if command is cd or False if not

def run_command(command: str) -> int:
    if is_cd(command):
         split_command = shlex.split(command)
         directory_to_change = ' '.join(split_command[1:])
         os.chdir(directory_to_change)
    else:  # if its a regular command
        return_code = os.system(command)
        if return_code != 0:  # If command failed to run then
            pass  # you can do something here

if __name__ == "__main__":
    user_commands = ["mkdir testdir", "cd testdir"]
    for command in user_commands:
        run_command(command)

DAVID WEEKLEY HOMES HONORED WITH FOOD DRIVE PARTNER AWARD BY SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK
Charlotte, NC (January 22, 2015): Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina presented David Weekley Homes with a Food Drive Partner Award at their 2014 Annual Partner Appreciation Luncheon. Weekley Homes, the nation's largest privately-held home builder has partnered with the food bank for eight years to collect money and frozen turkeys to benefit those in need during Thanksgiving.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina honored partners in all areas of food bank operations at their annual luncheon. David Weekley Homes was honored for their continued dedication in feeding thousands of families in the Charlotte area.
"We are proud to honor David Weekley Homes this year with the Food Drive Partner Award," said Kay Carter, executive director for Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. "For the past several years, they have sponsored a Turkey Drive as part of Harris Teeter's Harvest Feast Marathon. The drive has gotten bigger and better every year and since they first started, recently donating over 2,000 turkeys to help families in need have a special holiday meal."
In its eighth year, David Weekley's Annual Turkey Drive provided nearly $20,000 in donations and more than 460 turkeys. The monetary donations allowed the food bank to purchase more than 2,000 additional turkeys to provide the main meal for less fortunate families over Thanksgiving.
"We already know we build in some amazing communities in Charlotte, but we're humbled every year at the incredible generosity of our homeowners, our team members and our builder partners with their donations to our Turkey Drive to help Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina care for those in need," said Mark Gibbs, division president for David Weekley Homes.
More information about Weekley's 8th Annual Turkey Drive can be found here.

Pilani - the new Cherrapunji!!!
Of course, the choices of articles are coloured at best - coloured by support, perception and more generally, the Indian mentality which frowns upon almost every sport that boasts of a ball smaller than the red cherry of cricket. So while people coo about the most recent Federer-Nadal final (admittedly, it deserved cooing on the fans' part) and drive themselves mad over Spain's conquest at the Euro (newspapers here called it the return of beauty to football...I guess they haven't followed Fergie's United over the past two years) the most stunning achievement in sport over the last year was conveniently consigned to a most disappointing two-column report in most dailies.
In the Olympic year when we will see more fairy-tale stories and scandals than can be counted on our fingers, we have perhaps ignored the greatest achievement of the greatest sportsperson on earth. On 16th June 2008, Tiger Woods completed his 14th major win, competing against the rest of the field - the best golfers in the world - on one good leg. Playing with two stress fractures in his foot, a knee that he said was as painful as it gets (after the tournament of course...he wouldn't dream of giving a quarter to his opponents before or during a major) and rust out of not playing for six weeks before the tournament due to injury, he overcame the odds and won, prompting James Lawton to say, "Wonder of Woods rooted in resolve as much as flashes of divine inspiration."
These are the kind of stories that sports journalists should highlight - triumph against the odds, the emphatic statement of a champion on the field of play. Pity though, that people seek sensationalism more than inspiration and sports writers give it to them. So on May 22 in the aftermath of Manchester United's Champions' League victory, most papers preferred to dwell on the indecisiveness of a greedy footballer (I am not criticizing Ronaldo's ability but merely a part of his attitude) instead of the unquenching thirst of the longest-serving club manager in Britain, who despite having re-emphasized his place at the top of the pantheon of great football managers, said, "It drains away quickly for me. The euphoria evaporates almost immediately. The moment of that final penalty save from Edwin van der Sar, that was my moment, my euphoria and excitement, then you just carry on."
"In an ideal world, we would have 'm' parallel tasks and 'm' processors. But since we are not living in the ideal world, we usually have 'm' parallel tasks and 'n' processors where 'n'<'m'. In the former case, we would complete 'm' tasks in t time, where t is the time that a single task will take for completion."
I don't know why this statement got me thinking, but there seems to be something wrong with it, and I can't seem to put my finger (literally!) on to it. The proverbial "bone of contention" with this statement seems to be a basic assumption which is usually false in the real-world scenario; the assumption being that all the m parallel tasks being spoken of here are completely independent - as in the memory they access, the buses they send their data on, the processors they use are all different from each other - only then would one get m times the performance of a single-processor system.
However, say the tasks aren't completely independent. Let's assume that some of the tasks refer to the same memory space, some of the tasks require information from the results of the other tasks to actually start their own operation. In that case, even if we do have an equal number of processors to the number of tasks at hand, all of them will definitely not be used, which would equate to a wastage of resources.
"Exactly where on the Performance v/s Utilization line is the trade-off between the two deemed acceptable?"
Of course, the trade-off point (if I might be allowed to say so) will vary from application to application, depending on the required response time of each application and a million other factors (not literally). So, a better way to phrase the question would be "Is there some way to quantify a minimum ratio (maybe not the right term) or a worst-case relationship between Performance and Resource Utilization? In essence, is there a guarantee that while my performance won't suffer much, my resources will still have to work a minimum amount of time?"
Any CSE Gods here care to explain??
P.S. Just discovered a strange quirk of the Blogger editor...Apparently you cannot enclose m inside of HTML tags.

Today has been an awesome day! All of the missionaries who will be returning home on the next transfer gathered in our home for a "what's next" meeting. We discussed many of decisions and issues that face them as they head back home. This is a great group of missionaries who have grown in countless ways as they have been selfless in their service. They have consecrated their time and talents to the Savior, his church and the people of the NYNYN area. They have served valiantly. We will miss their wisdom and examples but we are excited for all that is to come in their lives. Our missionaries have become so dear to us in such a short time. They have touched our lives in countless ways and we are forever connected now. It gets harder and harder to say goodbye.
We all enjoyed my favorite...Chipotle...for lunch!

With the Save Age Challenge in full swing, the first step to be successful is to open a separate savings account. I highly recommend opening an online account that is SEPARATE from your regular bank accounts.
Where to save money and earn interest? What is the difference between saving and investments accounts? Let's dig in and answer those questions.
Just a note… all of these opinions are 100% my own and not sponsored by any of the below mentioned companies.
In today's market, the best place to save money and earn interest are one of two options either in a savings account or an investment account. There are two primary differences.
The first is savings accounts that are FDIC insured up to $250,000 whereas investment accounts are volatile. The second difference is the rate of return on the account. With saving accounts, most banks offer between .05% – 1.05% (maybe slightly higher for a Certificate of Deposit also known as a CD.
On the other hand, investment accounts are tied to the stock market growth and the investment is not guaranteed. Thus, the rate of return can be a roller coaster. Over the past 50 years, the stock market averages about 7%. More risk, more return.
Online banking is a growing trend because online banks can offer a higher rate of return due to lower overhead. Personally, I have used an online bank since college. One simple reason; I wanted to see my savings add up and to stop haste spending decisions. Just make sure the online bank is FDIC insured; this insures your bank balance up to $250,000. Honestly, earning anything over .25% APY is great in today's market! Online banking is one of the best places to earn interest with low risk.
For the Save Age Challenge, I am using Capital One 360. Right now, Capital One is offering a $25 bonus when you sign up with this link. Plus, there is no minimum requirement to earn 1.00% APY! I highly recommend Capital One 360!
Another great option is CIT Bank! They interest rates are the highest in the industry at 1.55% APY! Great place to keep an emergency fund for a rainy day. Learn more here.
Update for 2018 – this is the company I am using for the Save Age Challenge 2018!
Another option is to open an investment account. After we paid off $53,000 in student loan debt, I am ready to start trading again. This has been something I dabbled in for 15+ years. I am by no means a heavy trader; just for fun and to see a return. Personally, I have opened my account with Ally Invest and TD Ameritrade. So far, I am happy with my decision to use either company – TD Ameritrade or Ally Invest.
Ally Invest (formerly TradeKing) is an investment platform that is battling the top competition. They offer $4.95 flat rate stock trades. This is the lowest in the industry!! Many of the reviews on Ally Invest are extremely positive (plus I have been a happy customer, too). Before TradeKing sold their company to Ally Invest, their company model was focused on heavy use stock and option traders. Overtime, TradeKing has evolved and perfect for the everyday investor. Now Ally Invest at the helm, it will continue to be a sound investment platform with a well-known name. Start today and get Ally Invest .
Motif Investing is one of the hottest investment companies right now. The reason why is their portfolio trading. The provide the ability to trade stock as low as 33 cents per stock when you trade an entire portfolio of up to 30 stocks or ETFs in a single transaction for $9.95. Learn more about Motif Investing.
In order to save consistently on a regular basis, I highly recommend opening up a separate savings or investment account based on your preferences. Personally, I have used Capital One 360, TD Ameritrade, Ally Invest, and CIT Bank; I highly recommend any of these. Honestly, where to save money isn't as important as starting to save money. These are options of the best places to save money and earn interest. Open your account today and watch your savings grow!

Q: lightning:Datatable Spring18 problem in Customer Community Spring18 broke the URL field in my Customer Community.  I have a simple data table that renders a list with a URL.  After Spring18 the data table works fine in the standard UI but when I put the same component into the Customer Community UI the link is not clickable.
In the Salesforce Lightning "normal" UI the Link is rendered as:
Click to Download

In the Customer Community the link is rendered as:
Click to Download

Why am I seeing the "javascript:void(0);" in the customer community?  It is the exact same lightning component showing the same list ... Just in the base community (Standard Lightning UI) vs. a Napili template Customer Community?
It is a simple component just to test this out ...
<aura:component implements="forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome">
    <aura:attribute name="list" type="ContentVersion[]"/>
    <aura:attribute name="columns" type="Object"/>
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this }" action="{!c.init }"/>
    <lightning:datatable data="{!v.list}"
        columns="{!v.columns}"
        keyField="Id"
        hideCheckboxColumn="true"
    />
</aura:component>

Here's the client-side controller:
({
    init: function (component, event, helper) {
               component.set("v.columns", [
                {label: 'Title', fieldName: 'Title', type: 'text'},
                {label: 'File Type', fieldName: 'FileType', type: 'text'},
                {label: 'Download Link', fieldName: 'ContentDocumentId', type: 'url', typeAttributes: { label: 'Click to Download' }}
                ]);
        component.set('v.list', [{
                id: 'a',
                Title: 'Google',
                FileType: 'Cool',
                ContentDocumentId: 'https://www.google.com'
            },
            {
                id: 'b',
                Title: 'CNN',
                FileType: 'NotCool',
                ContentDocumentId: 'http://cnn.com'
            }]);
    },
})

This is in my Spring18 Sandbox ... And even more painful is that it appeared to work correctly in Winter.  The URL field rendered and was clickable.  Of course the title did not render back then.  Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?  Why is the URL field in a datatable not populating the HREF portion of the anchor tag in a Customer Community?

A: Fixed now that patch 7.x is available.

Career as a Lawyer
A career as a lawyer is an extraordinary calling. It requires loads of patience and logical skills. It takes loads of hard work and dedication to become a successful lawyer. First generation lawyers particularly face numerous problems in their profession as is true of every other profession. It becomes easier if one trains under a Senior Counsel in the beginning of their career. A lawyer, also known as an attorney, counsellor, solicitor, barrister or advocate, is an individual licensed by the state to engage in the practice of law and advise clients on legal matters. Lawyers act as both advocates and advisors on behalf of their clients. As advocates, they represent the defendant, advancing their client's case through oral argument and through written documents such as motions and briefs. As advisors, lawyers counsel clients on how the facts of their particular case apply to the law. As advocates, lawyers (or solicitors or attorneys) represent one of the parties in criminal and civil trials. They present evidence and argue their client's case in court. As advisors, they discuss legal rights and obligations with their clients, suggesting courses of action in personal and business affairs.
There are plenty of opportunities in private industry. There is also the possibility of becoming legal consultants (part time or full time) for companies. Opportunities are plenty in government service. A candidate who qualifies in the Law Service Commission or State Public Service Commission is eligible for appointment as munsif. Promotion may take a person higher up to sub-judge, District and Sessions Courts Judge and further to appointments in High Courts and the Supreme Court. Public sector undertakings and state and central government organisations also employ lawyers. Opportunities exist in the defence services too. Teaching in colleges, working with NGOs and working as a reporter for newspapers and television channels are other attractive options.
International Focus
Legal education in India is similar to the one in Britain. Whereas several universities in UK offer legal education to Indian students, Indian students quite enjoy working in the UK wherein they receive attractive salary packages. A recent trend has been that students from India study in law colleges in the USA and receive attractive jobs after completion of the course. Harvard Law School, Yale University, Australia National University, etc. are some attractive options for Indian law students these days.
Different Roles, Different Names

Here the job involves interviewing clients and interrogating witnesses, correlating findings, conducting trials, preparing a case for defence, examining, cross examining in court and so on.

These lawyers help their clients to apply for licenses and applications for activities which may affect the environment, or defend their clients if prosecuted by the authorities over environmental breaches.
Judge: offers judgment after conducting the court proceedings and hearing al the concerned parties.

Barclays has announced that chief operations and technology officer Shaygan Kheradpir is to leave the banking group to join Juniper Networks as CEO.
Kheradpir will depart to take on his new role at the US networking equipment firm, starting on January 1st 2014. Head of compliance Sir Hector Sants is also set to exit the firm.
Kheradpir was promoted to chief operations and technology officer with responsibilities for the entire Barclays group in March 2013. He had previously been chief operating officer for the bank's retail and business banking division, having joined in 2011. In this role Kheradpir helped develop the PingIt mobile payment solution, as well as supporting the group-wide cost transformation project, Transform.
Kheradpir will now succeed current Juniper CEO, Kevin Johnson, who will retire and remain as a board member.
Barclays CIO Daryll West, who recently joined from rival Lloyds, will act as interim chief operations and technology following Kheradpir's resignation.
Antony Jenkins, group chief executive commented: "Shaygan has made a huge contribution to our innovation and technology agenda and the elements of Transform which his team are delivering have real momentum.
"He has infused his colleagues in operations and technology with a spirit of creative thinking and exploration which Barclays will continue to benefit from long after he has moved on."
Meanwhile Sants, who has served as head of compliance and government and regulatory relations, will also leave the firm, having been on sick leave since the beginning of October. The bank said that he had been suffering from "stress and exhaustion", and had decided to resign.
Allen Meyer, head of compliance, corporate and investment Banking will cover his role on a temporary basis.
An internal and external search will now be launched for both posts.


SAO TOME, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Sao Tome and Principe's opposition ADI party won Sunday's parliamentary election, according to provisional results, but fell short of a majority so will have to seek coalition partners to form a government.
If the results are confirmed, the current prime minister will have to step down, potentially leading to a period of instability in the tiny Gulf of Guinea island nation, which hopes to become an oil producer in the next eight years.
The ADI won 26 of the 55 seats in parliament, ahead of Prime Minister Rafael Branco's MLSTP-PSD, which won 21 seats, and the PCD, which won seven. President Fradique de Menezes's MDFM-PL party won just one seat.
ADI leader Patrice Trovoada is expected to be the next prime minister, but Branco will remain in his post until the results are confirmed, a process that is expected to take several weeks.
The ADI announced on Monday that it would enter into talks with the PCD over forming a coalition to run the country for the next four years.
There was no trouble after the last parliamentary elections in 2006, but a number of governments have since fallen, there have been mutinies by police, and rows between coalition partners in government.

Aireon Announces Completion of all Milestones to Close Next Tranche of Funding
$90 Million will be funded through 1Q15
MCLEAN, VA. (June 30, 2014) – Aireon LLC, developer and operator of the world's first space-based global air traffic surveillance system, announced today that it has completed all necessary milestones to close the third tranche investment from NAV CANADA, totaling $65 million, of which $32.5 million was funded on June 19, 2014, and the second half of the third tranche will be funded in the first quarter of 2015. These payments will bring NAV CANADA's cumulative investment in Aireon to $120 million and will increase its fully diluted common equity position, on a post conversion basis, to 36.5 percent.
Aireon will also receive the second tranche of investments from its other three air navigation service provider (ANSP) investors: Enav (Italy), the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), and Naviair (Denmark) imminently. Total payments of $12.5 million are expected to close on or around July 2, 2014, with an additional $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. As a result of these investments, ENAV, IAA and Naviair will collectively receive an additional 3.1 percent ownership interest in Aireon, bringing their cumulative fully diluted common equity position to 10.6 percent on a post conversion basis.
"We are very pleased with the continued momentum towards the deployment of AireonSM, a unique and much-needed service that will deliver more efficient travel to the world's airlines beginning in 2018," said Don Thoma, President and CEO, Aireon. "Our partners are leaders in the aviation industry and their ongoing investment, both financially and as advisors to Aireon, has been critical to making the vision of a near real-time, pole-to-pole aircraft surveillance from space a reality."
As previously disclosed, NAV CANADA has committed to invest a total of $150 million as preferred interests in Aireon between 2012 and 2017, and ENAV, IAA and Naviair have committed to invest a total of $120 millionbetween 2014 and 2017 for their preferred membership interests. With these investments, Aireon expects to be able to meet the capital requirements to deploy the Aireon system. Upon a partial redemption of Iridium's common equity and the conversion of all investors' preferred interests into common interests, both of which are expected to occur in 2018, NAV CANADA will hold 51 percent of the fully diluted common equity interests of Aireon, Enav will hold 12.5 percent, and each of IAA and Naviair will hold 6 percent, with the remaining 24.5 percent being retained by Iridium.
Aireon is a joint venture between Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), NAV CANADA, ENAV, IAA, and Naviair, established to launch the Aireon system by hosting ADS-B receiver payloads on Iridium NEXT, Iridium's second-generation satellite constellation, scheduled for first launch in 2015 and completion in 2017.

Wu Lei (; * 19. November 1991 in Nanjing), im deutschen Sprachraum unter der dort üblichen Namensreihenfolge Lei Wu bekannt, ist ein chinesischer Fußballspieler, der seit 2022 bei Shanghai Port in der Chinese Super League unter Vertrag steht. Wu zählt zu den talentiertesten Spielern seines Landes, sein Debüt gab er bereits im Alter von 14 Jahren und 287 Tagen, damit hält er in China den Rekord für den jüngsten Spieler, der im Profifußball eingesetzt wurde. Wu ist vor allem für seine Dribblings, seine Schussqualitäten und seine teils spektakulären Tore bekannt, weswegen er auch "Chinas Maradona" genannt wird.

Karriere

Verein
Erstmals auf sich aufmerksam machte Wu sich beim AFC U14-Boys' Festival 2004, als er mit seinem Land das Turnier gewann und selbst mit sechs Toren dazu maßgeblich beitrug. Zwei Jahre später gab Wu als 14-Jähriger sein Debüt am 2. September 2006 bei einer 3:5-Niederlage gegen Yunnan Lijiang Dongba, sein Club spielte damals noch in der zweiten Liga. Sein erstes Tor erzielte er am 30. August 2008 gegen Qingdao Hailifeng, das Spiel gewann sein Verein mit 2:0. Schnell avancierte Wu zum Stammspieler und zementierte seine Leistungen mit zahlreichen Toren. In der Saison 2012 der zweiten Liga gelang ihm mit seiner Mannschaft schließlich der Aufstieg, Wu selbst erzielte hierbei 17 Tore und war damit einer der Hauptakteure dieses Erfolgs. Der ehemalige Trainer der chinesischen Nationalmannschaft Xu Genbao, in Wus Jugend sein Trainer, bedachte Wus Leistungen daraufhin mit den Worten "Wu Lei ist ein Geschenk Gottes". Auch den europäischen Klubs entging Wus Talent nicht. Beim Sun Trophy Cup 2013, welches in Spanien ausgetragen wurde, traf Wu zweimal. Im Halbfinale war zwar Schluss, Shanghai schied gegen die damals von Ole Gunnar Solskjær trainierte Mannschaft Molde FK aus, dennoch hinterließ Wu mit seinen Dribblings und seinen Toren einen bleibenden Eindruck. Solskjær bekundete daraufhin ernsthaftes Interesse an Wus Verpflichtung, der Transfer kam aus diversen Gründen jedoch nicht zustande. Wu erklärte anschließend, dass er, falls ein anderer europäischer Klub ihn unter Vertrag nehmen wolle, er nicht zögern werde, dieses Angebot anzunehmen. Vor Beginn der Saison 2013 setzte Wu sich das Ziel, "mindestens zehn Tore" zu erzielen, ein Ziel, das er mit 15 Treffern überbieten konnte. Mit Shanghai SIPG erreichte er den neunten Tabellenplatz, Wu wurde Torschützenkönig seiner Mannschaft und dritter Platz in der Torjägerliste der Liga. Erwähnenswert ist, dass Wu dreimal ein Hattrick gelang, keinem anderen Spieler gelangen mehr in jener Saison. Auch in den folgenden Jahren konnte er seine guten Leistungen konstant fortsetzen. 2018 konnte Wu dann auch erstmals die Meisterschaft in der Chinese Super League feiern.

Ende Januar 2019 wechselte Wu nach Spanien zum katalanischen Verein Espanyol Barcelona und gab sein Debüt sogleich am 3. Februar 2019, als er bei einem Ligaspiel gegen den FC Villarreal für Dídac Vilà in der 78. Minute eingewechselt wurde. Am folgenden Spieltag kam er bei der Partie gegen Rayo Vallecano bereits in der 34. Minute ins Spiel, da Pablo Piatti verletzungsbedingt ausgewechselt werden musste. In der 72. Minute holte er einen Elfmeter für seinen neuen Verein heraus, den Borja Iglesias anschließend verwandelte. Somit verhalf Wu entscheidend zum späteren 2:1-Erfolg. Er erzielte sein erstes Tor für Espanyol am 2. März 2019 bei einem Ligaspiel gegen Real Valladolid, dies macht Wu zum ersten Chinesen, der in der höchsten spanischen Liga ein Tor erzielen konnte. Mit dem Verein stieg er zwar im Sommer 2020 in die Zweitklassigkeit ab, konnte aber ein Jahr später als Meister den sofortigen Wiederaufstieg feiern. Insgesamt absolvierte er für die Katalanen 126 Pflichtspiele und erzielte dabei 16 Treffer. Ein Tor davon gelang ihm am 3. Oktober 2019 in der Gruppenphase der UEFA Europa League gegen ZSKA Moskau, doch im Sechzehntelfinale des Wettbewerbs schied man dann gegen die Wolverhampton Wanderers aus.

Am 11. August 2022 kehrte Wu wieder zurück in die heimische Chinese Super League und schloss sich mit einem Fünfjahresvertrag dem Shanghai Port FC an. Dort erzielte er im dritten Ligaspiel sofort einen Doppelpack zum 3:0-Sieg über Chengdu Rongcheng.

Nationalmannschaft
Auch in den Jugendnationalmannschaften traf Wu regelmäßig, so dass er erstmals 2010 für die Senioren berufen wurde, mit denen er an der Ostasienmeisterschaft 2010 teilnahm. Sein Debüt gab er hier am 14. Februar 2010 gegen Hong Kong, welches China mit 2:0 für sich entscheiden konnte. Seitdem ist Wu Lei fester Bestandteil der chinesischen Nationalmannschaft geworden und hat mittlerweile über 80 Partien absolviert.

Spielstil
Wu spielt mit Zug zum Tor. Von den Außenbahnen zieht er oft in den gegnerischen Strafraum und sucht schnell den Abschluss. Er selbst sagt dazu: "Ich suche immer nach guten Gelegenheiten, und wenn sich eine bietet, versuche ich, mich mit meiner Beweglichkeit und meiner Antrittsschnelligkeit gegen die Abwehrspieler durchzusetzen." Auch aus der Distanz probiert es Wu, wenn er die Gelegenheit wahrnimmt, hierdurch gelangen ihm schon einige sehenswerte Treffer. Zudem ist er trotz seiner vergleichsweise geringen Größe von 1,73 m kopfballstark und stellte dies auch mit diversen Toren unter Beweis.

Trivia
Wu Leis Wechsel nach Spanien wurde in China von enormen medialem Interesse begleitet, und auch viele Chinesen verfolgten den Wechselprozess aufmerksam. Bereits 48 Stunden nach Bekanntgabe des Wechsels zu Espanyol Barcelona wurden über 1.600 Trikots mit seinem Namen verkauft, mittlerweile beläuft sich die Zahl der verkauften Trikots auf über 5.000. Obwohl Wu in seinem ersten Spiel für Espanyol Barcelona lediglich zu knapp 15 Minuten Einsatz kam, verfolgten über 40 Millionen Zuschauer in China das Spiel gegen den FC Villarreal.
