Education is compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 14. Education is free for Bahraini citizens in public schools, with the Bahraini Ministry of Education providing free textbooks. Coeducation is not used in public schools, with boys and girls segregated into separate schools.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Qur'anic schools (Kuttab) were the only form of education in Bahrain. They were traditional schools aimed at teaching children and youth the reading of the Qur'an. After World War I, Bahrain became open to western influences, and a demand for modern educational institutions appeared. 1919 marked the beginning of modern public school system in Bahrain when the Al-Hidaya Al-Khalifia School for boys opened in Muharraq. In 1926, the Education Committee opened the second public school for boys in Manama, and in 1928 the first public school for girls was opened in Muharraq. As of 2011, there are a total of 126,981 students studying in public schools.
In 2004, King Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa introduced the "King Hamad Schools of Future" project that uses Information Communication Technology to support K–12 education in Bahrain. The project's objective is to connect all schools within the kingdom with the Internet. In addition to British intermediate schools, the island is served by the Bahrain School (BS). The BS is a United States Department of Defense school that provides a K-12 curriculum including International Baccalaureate offerings. There are also private schools that offer either the IB Diploma Programme or United Kingdom's A-Levels.
Bahrain also encourages institutions of higher learning, drawing on expatriate talent and the increasing pool of Bahrain nationals returning from abroad with advanced degrees. The University of Bahrain was established for standard undergraduate and graduate study, and the King Abdulaziz University College of Health Sciences, operating under the direction of the Ministry of Health, trains

The Bible has more than 2,000 verses on it. Jesus spoke repeatedly about it. If God consistently emphasizes stewardship and money, shouldn't church leaders?
I only remember one thing from my 7th grade boys' Sunday school class and that statement left a theological scar for years.
God wants to give you rest. He wants to refresh and restore your soul—your mind, will and emotions. It's so easy to get caught up in the "busyness" of life, and before long, your mind, will and emotions are so "spun up" that you can barely think straight! But even in the hustle of life, you can find rest, ease and relaxation. God wants to take care of everything that concerns you so that you can find rest in your innermost being when you come to Him.
I previously mentioned a statement from Tony Evans' book, Detours: The Unpredictable Path to Your Destiny , which I'll repeat again here. When people newly out of seminary ask Pastor Evans how to become a pastor of a megachurch, he advises them to go preach in a prison. His point is that God entrusts us with smaller tasks to prepare us for larger tasks, and we need to prove ourselves faithful in the small things before God will entrust us with bigger ones.
Christ wants to do immeasurably than that, more than we can ask or even imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) But it requires dying to self, crucifying our flesh with all its passions and desires (Gal. 5:24), and completely surrendering our lives to Christ, giving the Holy Spirit free reign over our hearts.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Board of Directors (the Board) of Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) announced that as of June 7, 2018:
• The Board accepted the resignation of Lowell C. McAdam as Chief Executive Officer of Verizon, which resignation is effective as of August 1, 2018. Mr. McAdam will remain Chairman of the Board, and he will remain an officer of the company for a transition period through December 31, 2018. On December 31, 2018, Mr. McAdam will retire as an employee of Verizon and remain on the Board thereafter as Non-Executive Chairman.
• The Board appointed Hans E. Vestberg, currently Verizon's Executive Vice President, President of Global Networks and Chief Technology Officer, as Chief Executive Officer of Verizon, effective as of August 1, 2018.
• The Board elected Mr. Vestberg as a Director of Verizon. Mr. Vestberg will not receive any additional compensation for serving as a Director.
• John G. Stratton, formerly Executive Vice President and President of Global Operations of Verizon, is no longer responsible for the Global Operations organization and has become a strategic advisor reporting to Mr. McAdam. Mr. Stratton announced his plans to retire by the end of the year.
As of June 7, 2018, Verizon's Global Operations organization and its Network and Technology organization report to Mr. Vestberg. All other functions reporting to Mr. McAdam will continue to report to him until his retirement, at which time they will report to Mr. Vestberg.
In connection with Mr. Vestberg's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Human Resources Committee (the Committee) of the Board recommended, and the independent members of the Board approved, a compensation increase for Mr. Vestberg. Mr. Vestberg's base salary will increase to $1,500,000, his target short-term incentive opportunity will increase from 150% to 250% of base salary, and his target long-term incentive opportunity will increase from 600% to 800% of base salary. These compensation changes will be effective as of August 1, 2018.
In connection with Mr. Vestberg's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Committee recommended, and the independent members of the Board approved, a special one-time equity award to Mr. Vestberg with a grant date of August 1, 2018, with 100% of the award opportunity in the form of performance stock units (PSUs). The Committee and the independent members of the Board approved the special award to Mr. Vestberg to provide an additional one-time incentive to reward performance that creates long-term shareholder value. The special award was granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Verizon Communications Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The PSUs represent shares of Verizon stock that may become payable after the completion of a five-year performance cycle ending on July 31, 2023, provided that Mr. Vestberg remains actively employed throughout the cycle, subject to the terms of the grant agreement. The number of PSUs that vest at the end of the five-year performance cycle will be determined based on Verizon's average annual return on equity (ROE) during the performance cycle. The PSUs will not vest unless Verizon's average annual ROE meets the minimum threshold percentage of 18.0%. A maximum of up to two times the nominal number of PSUs granted will vest if Verizon's average annual ROE is at least 38.0% at the conclusion of the performance cycle.
The value of each PSU is equal to the fair market value of a share of Verizon's common stock on the date of the grant and will change as the value of Verizon's common stock changes. All PSUs that vest at the end of the five-year performance cycle, including accrued dividend equivalents on the vested portion of the grant, will be settled in shares of Verizon common stock. To the extent any common stock is issued, the grant agreement requires that Mr. Vestberg hold such shares for two years following the vesting date. If 100% of the PSUs vest, based on Verizon's closing stock price on August 1, 2018, the PSUs would have a value of approximately $10 million, plus accrued dividends.
On January 1, 2019, after his retirement from Verizon, Mr. McAdam will become the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. In connection with the transition, the Committee also recommended, and the independent members of the Board approved, the compensation package for Mr. McAdam as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. As Non-Executive Chairman, Mr. McAdam will receive the standard compensation paid to all non-employee Directors of Verizon, including an annual cash retainer of $125,000 and an annual equity award valued at $175,000 on the date of grant. In addition, Mr. McAdam will receive an annual Non-Executive Chairman retainer of $200,000 in cash.
Mr. Vestberg, 52, joined Verizon in April 2017 as Verizon's Executive Vice President, President of Global Networks and Chief Technology Officer and has held that position since that date. Prior to joining Verizon, Mr. Vestberg served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ericsson from 2010 to 2016. Mr. Vestberg also served as Chief Financial Officer of Ericsson from 2007 to 2009.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

Tuition fees imposed on overseas students at the Helsinki Technical University may conflict with Finnish law, according to education ministry officials.
With the exception of the Open University and certain professional study programmes, Finnish university education is free to all, except for foreign nationals studying at the Helsinki Technical University, which now charges some of its foreign students an annual fee of ¤840 (Pounds 550).
Degree students on exchange programmes and those having gained entry through the regular entry examination escape the charges.
A university spokesman defended the decision to impose fees, arguing that the rule applies to guest students only. However, problems can arise if these guest students progress to degree studies.
Juhani Saarivuo of the ministry of education said that students who began a study programme leading to a degree should not have to pay tuition fees, whether they were once guest students or not. So far, no other establishment in Finland is known to have imposed fees.

The Orange County Human Rights and Relations (OCHRR) and the Orange County Health Department (OCHD) have launched a video series called "Cafecitos con el Condado de Orange" (Coffee with Orange County) to help address the concerns and questions about COVID-19 posed by the Hispanic Community in Orange County, NC.
Early in the pandemic it quickly became clear that marginalized communities were being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 virus, in particular the Hispanic/Latinx community. In response to this urgent need a Latinx Equity group began meeting weekly, hosted by Susan Clifford of OCHRR. The group includes attendees from various organizations from within the county and the state that identify as Hispanic/Latinx and are deeply involved with the Hispanic community. Topics have included health, housing, food scarcity, school closing, the challenges of virtual learning, and much more.
In addition to sharing resources, the Latinx Equity group also collaborates on messaging that is tailored to the Hispanic community. The "Cafecitos con el Condado de Orange" video series aims to address the questions and concerns of the Hispanic community in each episode. The first episode addresses fears expressed by the Hispanic community about a lack of trust in government entities, workplaces and other institutions. Pilar Rocha-Goldberg from El Centro Hispano led a conversation with Deacon Luis Royo of St. Thomas More Catholic Church; Antonia Cortes Sanchez with OCHD's Family Success Alliance and Marlyn Valeiko from OCHRR.
The second episode addresses the realities of COVID-19 and the disparities seen in the Hispanic community. During the discussion, myths are dispelled, and best practices are shared as they relate to the virus, the health care system, and what practical steps folks can take during the holiday season to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy. Ana Salas from the Orange County Health Department led the conversation with Dr. Marco Alemán from UNC; Norma Martí from NCDHHS; and Olivia Moreno from El Centro Hispano.
"We have seen a disproportionally high number of positive COVID-19 cases within the Hispanic community." Health Director Quintana Stewart shares. "At one point in July, the Hispanic community comprised 33% of COVID positive cases in Orange County, while they only represent 9% of the general population. Fortunately, over the last few months we have seen that percentage decrease to 21%. Although still disproportionally high, we are pleased with this downward trend and commend the community for following the 3 W's, or "3 M's" as we call them in Spanish."

Le tougarine (en russe : Тугарин) est une créature mythique des bylines et des contes de fées d'Europe de l'Est, qui personnifie le mal et la cruauté et apparaît sous la forme d'un dragon.

Formes et origines des noms
Tougarine a de nombreux noms différents dans la mythologie slave orientale, tels que Zmey Tugarin, Zmey Tugaretin, Zmeishche Tugarishche, Tugarin Zmeyevich et d'autres.

"Tougarine" est une contraction corrompus de "Tugar-Khan" (Tugor-Khan chez les Coumans), contesté par une étymologie du mot d'argot racine "chagrin".

Description
Le Tougarine, bien que l'on parle de dragon, conserve en grande partie une forme « anthropomorphe » et on le voit monter à cheval. Il semble qu'il ait des ailes avec lesquelles il peut voler, et il plane dans les airs pendant le duel avec Aliocha Popovitch. Les ailes volantes sont certainement un trait de dragon, mais certaines versions l'expliquent comme un engin en papier, attaché à son cheval et non à lui-même.

Le tougarine était un grand glouton, qui est un peu un trait de dragon.  Il pouvait remplir chaque joue d'une quantité de pain de la taille d'une roue de charrette, puis déposer un cygne entier sur sa langue et l'avaler. Ceci est chanté de façon similaire mais quelque peu différemment dans certaines versions bylyni.

Il avait une tête énorme et, dans certains textes, sa tête coupée roulait comme un chaudron à bière ou elle roulait comme un oignon, plus tard pour être décrite comme assez grosse pour servir de chaudron.

Le Tougarine est également décrit comme le rival catholique romain du prince Vladimir.

Mythe de la nature
Certains commentateurs ont suggéré que Tougarine représente l'élément du feu, car dans certaines versions de "Aliocha Popovich", le torse de Tougarine est recouvert de serpents de feu qu'il utilise comme arme, tente d'étrangler Aliocha avec de la fumée, lance des étincelles de feu sur lui, le brûler avec le feu, et tirer sur lui des tisons (головни́ ; golovnia), ou des bûches enflammées.

Le tougarine peut également représenter l'élément eau, car leur duel a généralement lieu près d'une rivière (généralement la rivière Safat). Cependant Tougarine est vaincu à cause de la pluie, qui gâche ses ailes de papier.

Combat avec Aliocha
Pour plus d'informations: Aliocha Popovich

Tugarin Zmeyevich est surtout connu de la bylina à propos de son duel avec Alyosha Popovich, qui se décline en de nombreuses versions différentes. L'histoire se trouve également dans la version de conte de fées en prose.

Dans certaines versions, ils se rencontrent pour le duel à la rivière Safat, où ils dressent des pavillons. Tougarine rugit d'une voix éclatante, ou bien siffle comme un serpent.

Il vole dans le ciel en battant ses ailes de papier, qui lui manquent quand il pleut. Aliocha Popovitch remporte le duel, coupe le corps de Tougarine en morceaux et les disperse sur le terrain.

Certains bylinas mentionnent les relations intimes de Tougarine avec l'épouse du knèze Vladimir. Lorsqu'elle apprend sa mort, elle devient triste et reproche à Aliocha Popovitch de l'avoir séparée de son "cher ami".

Autres dragons
Tugarin Zmeyevich est un personnage chtonique d'un ancien mythe de combat de dragon, lié à Zmey Gorynych (russe: Змей Горыныч, ukrainien: Змій Горинич), Serpent ardent (russe : «Огненный Змей») etc.

Notes explicatives

 ^ Lié au verbe tuzhit тужить "pleurer".
 ^ Alyosha joue avec lui en jetant la tête sur sa lance. Ceci est vu à distance par le disciple d'Aliocha. Dans une version, le disciple s'appelle Marýshko, et il annonce qu'il s'agit d'Aliocha jouant avec la "petite tête".
 ^ Bien sûr, Aloiocha Popovich a aussi le nom de "Fils du Pape", son père étant appelé le "prébendaire León" (ou "Prêtre Catheral Leontii" ) ou "León le pape".

Phoenix launches downtown 'giving meters' to help fight homelessness
Taniyah Williamson and Tanner Puckett | Cronkite News
The city has launched its "giving meters" program, repurposing four downtown parking meters to help those who are experiencing homelessness.
The four meters, which have been decorated by local artists, accept donations by coin or credit card to benefit PHX C.A.R.E.S., the city's homelessness outreach program, which sends trained teams into the community to offer services and resources.
The giving meters provide a convenient way for pedestrians in downtown Phoenix to help those who are homeless.
"We've heard a lot from people in our community," Mayor Kate Gallego said. "They're concerned. They're generous. They want to do something to make life easier for people that are experiencing homelessness."
According to the Maricopa Association of Governments, 6,614 people were considered homeless on the night of Jan. 21. That's 316 more than were surveyed during the annual Point-in-Time Count in 2018.
The increase marked the sixth consecutive year with a rise in Phoenix's unsheltered homelessness population, meaning those living on the streets, in cars or other places considered unfit for habitation.
Similar initiatives are already in effect in other U.S. cities, including Prescott and Tucson. The meters initiative in Phoenix was led by City Councilwoman Debra Stark of District 3, who got the idea while visiting her cousin in California.
"He goes, 'Well, it's to help curb panhandling and help end homelessness,'" she said. "And I thought, 'Wow, that's a great idea. Let me bring it back to the city of Phoenix.' And I did."
Stationary meters are at City Hall, the Arizona Center and near the Superior Court Complex. A mobile meter will be placed in high foot-traffic areas.
The giving meters double as art pieces, painted by local artists. Lydia Quinones of Phoenix, a Yaqui and Filipino artist, said her work on the meters served as symbolism for better days ahead.
"These harsh conditions in your life – in the end, when you make it to your goal, it just seems all that much richer and sweeter," she said. "So that's why I chose the persimmon, and it seemed to just align with the topic.
"I'm getting rid of my coins, I know it's going to a good purpose. I know that I'm bettering my community, I love my community, I want to help my community, so yeah. I think they're really great."


Certain questions within big screens miraculously become a trending top in town, where it eventually gets into non-filmy premises as well. Not to miss the long epical quest of 'Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?' and lots more that queued up in this context. But what's more intriguing for the current moment is 'Does Nayanthara accept Yogi Babu's proposal?' The topic became much bigger that it got even stressed as hilarious citations in even other movie's promotional events.
Kolamaavu Kokila is produced by Lyca Productions and is directed by Nelson. Sivakumar Vijayan is handling cinematography with R. Nirmal on editing.

Holmesdale picked up their first league win of the season with an impressive victory against visitors Sporting Club Thamesmead.
They started the game brightly and took the lead after 4 minutes through a superb solo goal from Nathan Lewer-Smith.
Picking the ball up just in the SCT half he raced forward into the box, evading a number of tackles before slotting home low to the right of SCT keeper Nathaniel Ratcliffe.
Holmesdale's Isacc John was next to make a powerful forward run but his long range shot flew straight at Ratcliffe.
After these early chances the game settled down until the 22 minute when the hosts scored their second goal of the game. William Keene's corner from the right was met by a towering header from Lewer-Smith that saw the ball rocket home high to the left of the unmoving Ratcliffe into the top corner of the net.
Lewer-Smith might have completed his hat trick minutes later when running onto Omar Belazregue's clever ball over the visitors back line but with only Ratcliffe to beat he shot straight at the SCT keeper.
Just after the hour Mark Ratcliffe was called into action again making a good save low at his near post to turn out John's fierce drive after he had made another powerful surging run into the box.
From the corner taken by Keene, Lewer-Smith again got free of his marker but this time his downward header bounced narrowly wide of the left hand post.
The visitors had found it difficult to make inroads against the Holmesdale defence well marshalled by Reece Stevens-King.
However on 40 minutes they went close to reducing the arrears when Jayden Amoako's curling in-swinging cross from the left saw the ball bounce dangerously across the face of goal, narrowly being missed by the on-rushing Pernel Wood, before hitting Daniel Mamas's left hand post and flying out to safety.
On 43 minutes Ratcliffe made another good diving save low to his left to keep out Keno Myrie's shot on the turn but in stoppage time at the end of the first half Holmesdale made it three from the penalty spot.
John, running onto Belazregue's through ball, was brought down in the area by Elisha Lawson and he took the spot kick firing home low to the right of Ratcliffe who dived left.
Holmesdale continued to dominate proceedings in the second half and on 53 minutes went close to increasing their lead when Lewer-Smith's cross field pass found Keene on the edge of the box but his deflected shot was well saved by Ratcliffe diving to his left.
Minutes later Stevens-King made a good interception on the half way line before playing the ball up to Lewer-Smith and continued his run, Lewer-Smith then deftly slipped the ball through into the box for Stevens-King but his shot was defected out for a corner.
Just after the hour mark it might have been four when Keene made a good run down the right before whipping over a low cross that Lewer-Smith turned narrowly wide.
The visitors then pulled a goal back on 67 minutes from the penalty spot after Marley Markham was adjudged to have handled Stephen Oswu's right wing cross after the ball had hit his arm from close range. The penalty awarded after the referee had consulted the linesman.
Euan Vosper converted the spot kick firing home low to the right of Mamas who dived left.
Shortly afterwards SCT nearly scored again after Vosper's right wing cross found Wood whose close range header was blocked by a defender, the loose ball falling to Amoako who had his close range shot well blocked by Mamas before Samuel Coulibaly had his follow up shot deflected out for a corner.
However having survived this melee in their box the hosts made sure of the points scoring twice in the final minutes of the game.
On 81 minutes Belazregue's through ball found the run into the box of Keene whose powerful shot on the turn flashed to the left of Ratcliffe striking his left hand post before flying into the net. Minutes later it was five when Keene's through ball found the run of Franco Obi and he neatly slotted the ball home low to the right of Ratcliffe.

Computer networking device
da:Netudstyr Computer networking devices are units, that mediate data in a computer network. Computer networking devices are also called network equipment, Intermediate Systems (IS) or InterWorking Unit (IWU). Units which are the last receiver or generate data are called hosts or data terminal equipment.
List of computer networking devices
Common basic network devices:
gateway: device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. Works on OSI layers 4 to 7.
router: a specialized network device that determines the next network point to which to forward a data packet toward its destination. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3.
bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer. Works on OSI layer 2.
switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines (intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems on the network. Works on OSI layer 2.
Ethernet hub: connects multiple Ethernet segments together making them act as a single segment. When using a hub, every attached device shares the same broadcast domain and the same collision domain. Therefore, only one computer connected to the hub is able to transmit at a time. Depending on the network topology, the hub provides a basic level 1 OSI model connection among the network objects (workstations, servers, etc). It provides bandwidth which is shared among all the objects, compared to switches, which provide a dedicated connection between individual nodes. Works on OSI layer 1.
repeater: device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while setting them from one from one part of a network into another. Works on OSI layer 1.
Some hybrid network devices:
multilayer switch: a switch which, in addition to switching on OSI layer 2, provides functionality at higher protocol layers.
protocol converter: a hardware device that converts between two different types of transmissions, such as asynchronous and synchronous transmissions transmission.
Brouters: Combine router and bridge functionality and are therefore working on OSI layers 2 and 3.
Hardware or software components that typically sit on the connection point of different networks, e.g. between an internal network and an external network:
proxy: computer network service which allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services
firewall: a piece of hardware or software put on the network to prevent some communications forbidden by the network policy
Other hardware for establishing networks or dial-up connections:
multiplexer: device that combines several electrical signals into a single signal
network interface card: a piece of computer hardware to allow the attached computer to communicate by network
modem: device that modulates an analog "carrier" signal (such as sound), to encode digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information, as a computer communicating with another computer over the telephone network
ISDN terminal adapter (TA): a specialized gateway for ISDN
line driver : a device to increase transmission distance by amplifying the signal. Base-band networks only.

Accidents that occur when one driver fails to acknowledge a red light or stop at a stop sign can be especially catastrophic. Most times, there is no warning prior to being struck which does not permit the driver to brace themselves for impact. When you are following the law as you are expected and another driver fails to do so, it can lead to a serious accident and injuries. At Palmisano & Goodman, P.A., we represent victims of car accidents who have been hurt by a driver who has run a red light.
To speak to one of our Woodbridge accident attorneys who handles personal injury claims, please contact us today.
One of the first important steps in building your personal injury claim is to determine what caused the accident. We have more than 40 years of experience representing all different types of personal injury and motor vehicle accident claims. Our legal team has the necessary skill and knowledge of personal injury law to build a strong case on your behalf.
Distracted driving: When a driver is talking on a cellphone, texting while driving, or is otherwise distracted.
Drunk driving: When the other driver had been drinking and driving.
Increasing speed/speeding through a red light: Many drivers increase their speed when the traffic light turns yellow, in an effort to miss the red light. One or two seconds of delay can result in an extremely serious accident.
If your accident was caused by negligent driving such as a driver who runs a red light or stop sign, we can help you explore your legal options. Our firm has obtained hundreds of millions on behalf of clients who have been injured in auto accidents. When you choose our law firm, your red light accident case becomes our priority, and we work hard to seek the full value of your claim.

As you're reading this several hundred AOL Patch employees are walking around with bullseyes on their backs. They know they're a target because their boss — AOL CEO and Chairman Tim Armstrong — told them so last week during a highly publicized "all hands" meeting during which he very publicly fired another executive for videotaping the meeting.
The firing has been covered ad nauseam but if you haven't seen the leaked audio catching Armstrong in the act, you can watch it here.
Armstrong, who co-founded Patch.com, a network of 900 local news websites that has come under much criticism for its content and working conditions, informed his employees on August 9 (a summer Friday no less) that Patch would shrink by 300 sites.
Since then Armstrong has apologized for the way he fired Abel Lenz, Patch's ex-creative director who is now looking for a new gig. But otherwise, employees are saying the CEO has been largely invisible.
"Not sure what he thought he was going to accomplish on that call on Friday but I can assure you all he did was create resentment and kill morale. Everyone is just sitting around waiting for the bad news," an employee said.
Armstrong handled the employee meeting, and firing, wrong on so many levels that one doesn't know where to begin.
his tone was punitive from the outset and not in the least bit encouraging. He missed a huge opportunity to showcase his human side. A more sensitive communications approach would have resulted in at least a neutral tone in the ensuing media coverage vs. the bashing he's endured.
there was no exchange of information…just Armstrong telling, telling, and telling some more. I'm not suggesting he run AOL by committee, but inviting suggestions from his employees to help stave off a Patch implosion gives his employees "skin in the game" and a sense of ownership, collaboration and hope.
he was ambiguous. He implied to analysts on the preceding day that the shrinking of the Patch network would mean employee layoffs. But 24 hours later he was telling employees that layoffs could perhaps be avoided (by selling some of the Patch sites). When there's a lack of clarity and direction, imaginations run wild and it's human nature, in such situations, to think the worst. His lack of clarity means that even Patch's best employees are concerned about their livelihoods and are updating their resumes too.
since then, Armstrong has largely been invisible, further heightening anxiety among his employees.
up to 50 percent of a company's reputation comes down to its leadership. How are you feeling about AOL today?
the reputation of a company's CEO has a marked impact on customer purchasing decisions and investors' investing decisions. Are you buying from or investing in AOL today?
there's an 80% chance a company's stock will drop 20% in a single month during a CEO's administration and a good reputation speeds the way to recovery.
Honesty – A CEO must view business ethics as key to overall success.
Respect – People are not objects a CEO owns. CEOs who respect others are usually shown the same level of respect.
Care – People (a.k.a. employees) are guided by feelings. The best CEOs work to understand the feelings, values and beliefs of their employees. A CEO and caring person can be one in the same.
Integrity – the integrity of any organization starts with strong leadership; strong ethical leadership.

NCF to raise funds, awareness, increase partnerships at Raising Norwalk dinner
MATT COYNEHour Staff Writer
Hour Photo/Alex von Kleydorff . Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman visits the Norwalk Brighter Futures program at Marvin Elementary school and helps Clarence Joseph with a handwriting exercise.
NORWALK -- The Norwalk Children's Foundation is trying to strike while the iron is hot.
With so many city organizations on the same page, foundation Program Director Anthony Allison said he's more optimistic about the future of helping children than ever. For him, it is the perfect time for the Norwalk Children's Foundation's first Raising Norwalk fundraising dinner at Millstone Farm in Wilton Thursday night.
"I feel very comfortable going to a potential donor and saying, 'We're at a critical place here and I feel that your support of our foundation is going to be a real support to those outcomes for kid and we can leverage that,'" Allison said. "I think we're really at the cusp of some significant shifts in how we view the work to affect outcomes. I think we have a much more logical and accountable way to go about that."
The eight-year-old NCF has relied mostly on what Allison called a specific donor base, which allows them to run programs like Brighter Futures, which givens children without the experience an accelerated pre-K before school starts, the Norwalk Mentor Program and community gardening program Norwalk Grows, among others to help give city children a leg up. With things improving, this is its first foray into banquet-style fundraising. At the dinner, attendees will drink, eat food catered by The Schoolhouse at Cannondale and learn about the strides the foundation has made in the city.
But money is only one goal. Allison said raising awareness of the NCF and finding new partners is just as important.
"The money is necessary, no doubt about it, but there are other resources in our community that we are undervaluing that we need," he said. "There are tremendous assets in the community and we don't know them, but we need to find them."
The foundation has increasingly worked with other area groups through Norwalk ACTS and the Norwalk Collaborative for Youth Success. It is those groups that have helped make Allison so confident.
"For the first time we're all at a table where we're agreeing that our work aligns. I think what it's done is it's put everybody at the table," he said. "It's one of the great moments in the city, since I've worked here."

Life has gotten really really busy and I'm finding it increasingly hard to find time to cook and blog about it, since I went back to work. Evenings are a blur of activity and I find myself in bed snoozing, around the same time as my toddler. Weekends are spent catching up with friends and being out or doing chores and getting ready for the week. Not complaining about any of it, except of course about not finding enough time to blog and not spending enough time with my buttercup, not in that order though!
Keeping this one short, since my little one is only going to snack for so long, this cumin spiced chicken recipe is delicious and super easy to make.
It is the perfect partner to the Apple and beetroot matchstick salad recipe I posted a few days back. You can find the salad link here.
The chicken needs to be marinated for an hour at least. You could marinate it for longer if you have the time! I haven't been the most organized person lately so I just marinated it for an hour, while I prepped the salad and played with my little one.
Mix all the ingredients and rub over the chicken and refrigerate.
Preheat oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit ( 215 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with foil.
Place chicken on the tray and place tray in oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes, turning the chicken over after 15 minutes.
At the end of the 30 minutes, set oven to broil and place tray on top rack for 10 minutes, turning chicken over after 5 minutes.
Splash on some freshly squeezed lemon juice and serve hot!
Alternatively, you could cook grill the chicken in the barbecue. That was my plan initially but due to unexpected rain, I had to cook the chicken in the oven. Make sure chicken is cooked through and has a nice grill to it. This chicken is the perfect meal with this Apple and Beetroot summer salad. Let me know what you think of it!
It's been a really hot summer so far, but whose complaining? I would take summer any day over the almost six months long Canadian winter! Summer in Canada is synonymous with being outdoors – camping and hiking, barbecues and patios, salads and cocktails! What's better on a hot summer day than a quick, easy to fix salad, to beat the heat? This really simple, apple and beetroot salad, spiced with mint and a lemon vinaigrette is so refreshing and is a perfect side for your grilled chicken! I paired this with some yumm Cumin spiced chicken. Recipe for the chicken is on the blog now!
I call it a Matchstick salad, because I slice the apples and beetroots thin and long, like matchsticks.
Marinate the sliced beetroot in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt and refrigerate for an hour.
Mix the ingredients for the dressing together: 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Mix the sliced apples and dressing in a separate bowl. Refrigerate for 50 minutes.
At the end of the 60 minutes, combine the beetroot and apple and add the chopped mint.
Add feta and pecans just before serving.
And your minty cool summer fresh salad is ready! Serve it on a bed of greens. And pair it with some cumin spiced chicken for the perfect dinner on a warm summer night!
Palak Paneer is one of my daughter's favorite things to eat and I end up making this at least once a week. It contains the goodness of spinach and the protein of paneer, making it super healthy. Add a few spices, onions and tomatoes and it's super yumm! This recipe was inspired by my mom. She taught me a different version of it a few years back. I modified it and tried a couple different variations of it, until I came up with this. My husband absolutely loves this version, as it's similar to his absolute favorite dish cooked by me, paneer ki bhurji (Grated pressed cheese cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices). The story behind the bhurji is really interesting actually.
This was the first thing I ever cooked for him. We were courting then and my mum invited him over for lunch shortly after we got engaged. I was an amateur cook then. So while my mum cooked the rest of the food for the afternoon, I was cooking the paneer ki bhurji, while following her instructions. In the process, I confused coriander powder with garam masala and added two heaped teaspoons of garam masala to the bhurji instead of two teaspoons of coriander powder. Garam masala can be really pungent and in most of the food I cook, I add very little of it, from a pinch to half a teaspoon maybe. So to think I had added so much of it, I panicked! The one dish that I was cooking would end up being a disaster, and would probably not even end up on the table. But, my mom being the fabulous cook that she is, came to my rescue. We added quite a few tablespoons of heavy cream to it, to tone down the garam masala, and voilà to this day my husband says that was the best bhurji he has ever eaten! And I have never been able to replicate that!
Coming back to this recipe of Palak Paneer, I have combined a spinach and cheese recipe that my mom taught me with the paneer ki bhurji recipe and it tastes delicious!
Heat oil in a pan. Add black cardamom and cumin seeds. Saute for a couple of minutes.
Add chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add minced ginger and tomatoes and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add salt, turmeric, paprika, coriander powder and garam masala. Saute for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Add grated paneer (pressed cheese) to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
Add chopped spinach and cook for 5 more minutes.
Serve hot with Indian flat bread.
I hope you enjoy this variation of palak paneer and I look forward to reading your comments and thoughts on this! Happy Cooking!
I have always enjoyed baking and I love it more than ever now, because I get to bake for my little one. And for her, I only want to bake the healthiest and tastiest recipes.
This recipe that I use, is one that I found after having tried multiple recipes for a healthy blueberry banana bread. And I have become of fan of banana bread since! This recipe makes a super delicious, moist and healthy bread, one that kids and adults will love. It's perfect because you don't feel guilty about eating it. It doesn't contain refined sugar nor does it contain refined flour. It's perfect for snack time (for baby or you) or for post meal cravings for desserts. When my little one comes home from daycare and she's starving, she loves to eat this, as does my husband when he gets home from work. And there's no better validation for my food then my daughter eating it!
Preheat an oven to 350 F / 180 C.
Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix yoghurt, eggs, vanilla essence and honey.
Add cinnamon and baking soda to the bowl and mix.
Add bananas to the bowl and mix well and then add flour.
Fold in the blueberries slowly.
Pour the mixture in a loaf pan and sprinkle liberally with almonds.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes (in a glass pan) or 45 minutes (in a dark aluminium pan).
Insert a toothpick to check if bread is done, if not bake for a few more minutes.
I like to enjoy a slice of this with a cup of tea. And I hope you enjoy baking this yumm banana bread and eating it!
I have tried this recipe with and without the almonds and I find it delicious both ways!
I feel guilty for not having blogged for the last few weeks. I've just been busy with a couple of new professional projects I have taken on and a couple of personal ones. Transitioning our little one to daycare has been one of them. Urgghh so hard! I don't know who cried more the first day. On the bright side, I do have a little more free time now, which honestly feels like luxury! And I try to use that time productively, well most days. I have to admit having indulged in a few Netflix binge watching sessions. Ahh the simple pleasures of life!
Coming back to this recipe. Brunch is one of my favourite meals to eat. I don't cook brunch as often though. Last Sunday I was craving my favourite brunch food, eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast with some hot coffee. But I also wanted to laze around in my PJs. So I cooked us some. I made this delicious potato, bacon and veggie hash topped off with an egg cooked sunnyside up and I ate it with a slice of avocado toast. Avocado toast is a breakfast staple in our house, loved by one and all! My husband ate it as an egg roll wrap.
Heat a pan. Add bacon pieces and saute for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
Add potatoes. Saute for 5 minutes on medium heat. After 5 minutes turn up the heat and saute for 5 minutes on high heat.
Add onions and peppers and cook for a couple of minutes on medium heat.
Add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook for another 8 minutes on low heat.
Fry an egg in another pan and cook the egg to your preference. (I liked mine sunny side up).
Vegetarians could substitute the bacon in this recipe with mushroom. Add the onions and peppers before the mushroom.
To eat it as a wrap, beat an egg in a bowl and season it with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan. Add oil, followed by the egg. Let the egg cook for a couple of minutes on low heat and add a tortilla wrap (I used a whole wheat one) on top of the egg. Cook for a couple of minutes and then flip the tortilla. Cook for a minute or so. Remove from heat, add the breakfast hash and eat it as a wrap.
I hope you enjoy this delicious hash for breakfast or brunch!
I call myself a foodie and I love food. However, I don't like trying new food or meat, especially when I'm at a restaurant. I always order a dish that I have tried and tested and liked, rather than something on the menu that I have never eaten before. I will always be intrigued by something else on the menu but I can never convince myself to order it. For example, my absolute favorite brunch dish is Eggs Benedict. And I always order that! My husband teases me about this all the time because he on the other hand is quite adventurous when it comes to trying out new food and / or meat. He has a list of different kinds of meat that he wants to try! Not me. So I usually order chicken when I'm out and I cook chicken for the most part. I recently cooked turkey which we really enjoyed. And this is only the second time I have cooked fish ever.
Mix the marinade ingredients (1/2 teaspoon salt, tamarind and lemon juice) and rub liberally over the fish. Leave for half an hour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add sliced onions, cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper and saute for 5 minutes.
Add fenugreek seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds and red chillies to the pan and saute for another 5 minutes.
Add ginger, garlic and curry leaves and saute for a couple of minutes.
Add grated coconut and saute for 5 minutes.
Add tomato paste and salt and saute for 7 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water and saute for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Cool the ingredients of the curry before blending it.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in another pan and add the marinated fish. Shallow fry for 6 minutes.
Add the contents of the blender back to the first pan and add 1.5 cups of water. Cover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the fried fish fillets to this pan and simmer for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh curry leaves, grated coconut and serve hot with freshly made basmati rice.
Happy Monday to everyone! I know most people don't look forward to Mondays. But I am hoping some of you will try this recipe this evening and that it'll bring you a little Monday cheer! It's been a cold and busy weekend for us. One that's perfect for a hot bowl of this hearty coconut chicken curry and vegetables. So that's exactly what we ate last night. There's something about a bowl of curry and rice that warms you up and lifts your spirits instantly.
This recipe is really simple and calls for a few ingredients, but it's absolutely delicious! I like my curry a little hot and so I added a teaspoon of Sambal's ground red chili paste. You could skip that or add more if you're feeling adventurous. Worcestershire sauce packs a savory punch, adds a tartness to the curry that I like. It does contain anchovies, so if you are allergic to seafood fish, you could substitute it with plain old vinegar. I have added carrots to my curry as I was looking for a hearty meal, one with vegetables and protein. You could add vegetables like zucchini, butternut squash, sweet potatoes or yam. They all taste wonderful in this curry.
Without further ado, here's the recipe for you.
Heat 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil in a pot. Add the chicken, 1 teaspoon salt and crushed pepper and pan fry on medium – low heat, till it's a little brown and crispy on the outside and almost cooked through (About 20 minutes). Remove chicken from the pan and cool. Shred the chicken breast pieces once it cools down.
Add the rest of the olive oil to the pot and add the chopped carrots to the pot. Saute the carrots for a 3-4 minutes. Add onions and minced garlic to the pot. Saute for a couple of minutes.
Add Tomato puree to the pot and stir for 3-4 minutes and add the coconut milk and chicken broth and salt. Cook for 10 minutes.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and chili paste. Add the chicken and basil leaves to the pot and cook simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
Serve hot with brown rice or enjoy as a bowl of hot coconut chicken stew. Garnish with jalapeños (optional).


Mumbai, Feb 12 (PTI) The Mumbai unit of the NCP Tuesday staged a protest here against "rising unemployment" in the country and slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "unfulfilled" promise of creating two crore jobs per year.
The Sharad Pawar-led party also attacked the government over the recent National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) report on job data, that has been withheld.
As per reports, the NSSO survey had pegged the current unemployment rate as the highest in the last 45 years.
"The Modi government had promised two crore jobs a year, but the promise has not been kept. In fact, the NSSO report has said that the unemployment rate is the highest in 45 years," NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto said.
He said the protesters were stopped by police from marching towards the office of the Mumbai district collector, but were later allowed to submit a memorandum to authorities.
The protest was organised by NCP's Mumbai unit youth wing head Nilesh Bhosale and South Mumbai district president Vijay Wadkar.
The party plans to stage such protests across the state.
