Phineas Fisher Offers $100,000 Bounty to Hack Banks and Oil Companies
An infamous vigilante hacker known for their hits on surveillance companies is launching a new kind of bug bounty to reward hacktivists who do public interest hacks and leaks.
The hacker, known as Phineas Fisher, published a new manifesto on Friday, offering to pay hackers up to $100,000 in what they called the 'Hacktivist Bug Hunting Program." The idea is to pay other hackers who carry out politically motivated hacks against companies that could lead to the disclosure of documents in the public interest. The hacker said he will pay in cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Monero. As an example of targets, the hacker mentioned mining and livestock companies in South America, Israeli spyware vendor NSO Group, and oil company Halliburton.
"Hacking to obtain and leak documents with public interest is one of the best ways for hackers to use their abilities to benefit society," Phineas Fisher wrote in the manifesto. "I'm not trying to make anyone rich. I'm just trying to provide enough funds so that hackers can make a decent living doing a good job."
To be clear, this is basically a bug bounty that incentivizes criminal activity. Most bug bounty programs are run by companies to encourage security researchers to find bugs in their software that they can then patch to make their services safer. Other bug bounty programs are run by third-party companies like Zerodium, which pay hackers for bugs in software like iOS, Android, or Chrome that can then be re-sold to governments.
Phineas Fisher is one of the most influential and well-known hacktivists since the days of Anonymous and LulzSec. In 2014, the hacker stole internal data from the British-German surveillance vendor Gamma Group, which makes the controversial spyware FinFisher. A year later, Phineas Fisher came back and broke into the servers of Hacking Team, an Italian company that made hacking and surveillance software for police and intelligence agencies around the world, exposing all the company's secrets. Then, the hacktivist hit a Spanish police union and Turkey's ruling party in 2016. Their identity has never been made public—even after an extensive investigation into the Hacking Team hack, Italian authorities admitted they have no idea who PhineasPhisher is.
After those hacks, Phineas Fisher published manifestos on how they carried them out in an attempt to inspire other hackers to launch politically motivated attacks. Then, they announced they were taking a break to deal with stress, and did not resurface online until this year.
Their motivation appears to have not changed in the last few years: hack for good, and inspire others to follow their example.
"I think hacking is a powerful tool, and hacktivism has only been used to a fraction of its potential," Phineas Fisher told Motherboard. "And a little investment can help to develop that, the golden years [of hacktivism] are yet to come."
In their new manifesto, Phineas Fisher also claimed to have hacked an offshore bank and called on other hacktivists to join in the fight against inequality and capitalism. The hacker said that in 2016 they hacked the Cayman Bank and Trust Company from the Isle of Man, an island between the UK and Northern Island. The hacker said they were able to steal money, documents, and emails from the bank. They declined to reveal how much money they stole, but said it was "a few hundred thousand" dollars.
"I robbed a bank and gave the money away," Phineas Fisher wrote in the manifesto. "Computer hacking is a powerful tool to fight economic inequality."
The hacker shared the stolen documents and emails from the bank to the leaking website Distributed Denial of Secrets, run by journalist and activist Emma Best, who said she uploaded 640,000 emails, in what is "the most detailed look at international banking that the public will have ever had access to."
Arguing why it was justified to leak the bank's internal emails, Phineas Fisher wrote that "privacy for the powerful is not the same, when it allows them to evade the limits of a system itself designed to give them privileges; and privacy for the weak, which protects them from a system conceived to exploit them."
The Cayman Bank and Trust Company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The hack against the bank in the Isle of Man is the fifth data breach that Phineas Fisher has publicly claimed as their own. Much like they did for their previous hacks, the hacker wrote a detailed how-to on how they broke in to teach others how to carry out similar attacks, and show that it's possible to use hacking techniques to rob banks.
"In the digital era, robbing a bank is a non-violent act, less risky, and the reward is higher than ever," they wrote. "None of the financial hacks I've done, or that I've known of, has been reported. This is going to be the first, and not because the bank wanted, but because I decided to publish it."
Phineas Fisher said that they already gave away all the money they stole from the Isle of Man bank, but that they have more money from recent, undisclosed hacks to pay the bug bounty. The hacker also explained that they got into The Cayman Bank and Trust Company using the same exploit they used against Hacking Team: targeting a vulnerable virtual private network and firewall appliance. After breaking into the spyware vendor, Phineas Fisher said they scanned the internet for other vulnerable VPNs and found several banks that were using it. The name of the bank, Cayman, caught their attention, according to the manifesto.
That was enough to make an example out of it.
"The global financial elite are oppressors, not victims […] Hacking that elite and returning the tiniest fraction of the wealth that they've stolen doesn't make them victims," Phineas Fisher told me. "It is cybercrime. It's also activism. It's motivated by a desire for social change, I'm not personally profiting or benefiting from it."

Friedman's Fine Jewelry in Mobile, Ala., is closing its doors after 72 years of business.
The store is currently hosting a liquidation sale that's offering designer jewelry from the likes of Tacori and Beverly K discounted up to 70 percent. The store's three owners, Gloria Skipper, Shelly Scott, and Pat Hamilton, plan to permanently shutter once the inventory is gone, likely by the end of July.
A request for comment from the retailers was not returned. But according to the the store's website, Friedman's opened in downtown Mobile in 1946. Jeweler Billy J. Walker purchased the store from the Friedman family in 1977 and moved operations to West Mobile, away from a downtown that was (at the time) declining.
Friedman's then became one of the first tenants in the high-rise Regions Bank Tower, where it's been ever since.
Hamilton told Alabama news outlet AL.com that "retirement" is the main impetus for closing up shop.
The store's general manager, Don Johnson, has been with the company since 1993 and told the outlet that the changes happening within the industry—spurred by evolving consumer behaviors—were other factors that contributed to the decision.
Friedman's Fine Jewelry (which is not associated with the national jewelry chain of the same name) is the second venerated Mobile, Ala., jeweler to close this year.
Claude Moore shuttered in early 2018 after 96 years in business, also citing retirement as the key reason for closing.
The closures of both independent and corporate retailers in the U.S. are on track to break records in 2018, according to commercial real estate services firm CoStar Group—which announced in April that more than 90 million square feet of retail space was already scheduled to be vacated.

TimiCoin/TimiHealth has announced that the first 100,000 people who upload and share their DNA with them, will receive 20 TimiCoins…How much is 20 TimiCoins? Your guess is as good as mine.
While TimiHealth says you will retain 100% control of your DNA when submitted to them. Is it really worth 20 TimiCoins? For me it isn't regardless of the value TimiCoins may have.
"We intend to be the first to actually pay you for your DNA data! Your data will be secure in our blockchain technology, and you'll be able to profit from it in our tokenized TimiDNA ecosystem, if you so choose. You will own it, control it, monetize it," said Will Lowe, founder of Timicoin/TimiHealth.


Before hearing this lecture, I'd never heard of the Palestinian refugee camps in the Middle East or thought much about the Palestinian people. This lecture helped me understand the truly sad nature of the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
You began the lecture by showing a video about the Aida refugee camp, which is one of many camps the in which the Israelis placed the Palestinians once Israel became a country after WWII. Then you spoke of your experiences living and working there. Telling stories of Israelis shooting children, throwing tear gas at silent protestors, and being cruel at checkpoints, you talked about the people who live in that camp. You discussed how the Israelis wish to eliminate the Palestinians and how they continue to build a wall around Israel, which often purposefully cuts people away from olive trees which supply income. You also talked about how the U.S. supports Israel,--actually paying for their weapons--since they are generally thought of as God's chosen people.

Veteran Names Resurface Among Fantasy First Basemen
By Ben Hargrove
The following veterans have unexpectedly become starting fantasy baseball daily first basemen in many leagues, or are still eligible in fantasy baseball leagues due to having fantasy first base experience in the past.
Michael Cuddyer, Colorado Rockies
Cuddyer, now 34, hit 32 homers with 94 RBI in 2009 but has hit more than 20 homes just one other time. When he came to Colorado in 2012, the combination of Coors Field and second base eligibility in many leagues made him an intriguing fantasy option. Injuries limited Cuddyer to 358 at bats, but he did hit 16 homers with 58 RBI while batting .260.
In 2013, Cuddyer lost his 2B eligibility and has primarily played the outfield, but he still has eligibility at first base. As of June 30, Cuddyer was on pace for a career year, hitting .346 with 14 homers and 48 RBI. He was hitting .372 at Coors. But Cuddyer has already been on the disabled list once this year for a neck injury and was battling a rib injury in early June.
James Loney, Tampa Bay Rays
Loney made a strong impression in 2007 when he hit .331 with 15 homers in 344 at bats for the Dodgers at the age of 23. That year, he had a .919 OPS. But Loney failed to hit .300, reach 15 homers or have an OPS over .800 in his next four seasons. In 2012, Loney was sent to the Red Sox as a minor piece in the blockbuster trade that landed the Dodgers new first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett. Despite switching his home park from Dodger Stadium to Fenway Park, Loney's production went down with the Red Sox, as he hit .230 with a .574 OPS in 100 at bats before Boston let him leave as a free agent.
Signed at a discount by Tampa Bay, Loney, who turned 29 in May, hit .373 in April and hit .306 in May with six homers and 17 RBI. Loney got off to slower start in June, hitting .283 with 2 homers. As of June 30, Loney was hitting .314 with nine homers, 40 RBI and 34 runs.
Kendrys Morales, Seattle Mariners
Morales had a breakout year in 2009 with the Angels, hitting 34 homers with 108 RBI and a .306 batting average. But a serious ankle injury in May 2010 put Morales out of action until 2012. After hitting 22 homers with 73 RBI and a .273 batting average in 134 games, Morales was traded to the Mariners. Despite playing his home games in Seattle, Morales was hitting .278 as of June 30 with nine homers and 42 RBI.

Many Top-Rated Starting Pitchers Were Amateur Draft First-Rounders
Whether you play in fantasy baseball leagues for money or for fun, it is important that you pay attention to which players were drafted highly in real-life fantasy baseball leagues. That's because there is a correlation between the two.
14 of the 17 starting pitchers drafted highest in Yahoo! fantasy drafts this season were selected in the first round of Major League baseball's June amateur draft. Two pitchers – Felix Hernandez and Yu Darvish – were international pitchers not subject to the draft. The only pitcher in the top 17 who was drafted outside of the first round was Cliff Lee, who was a fourth-round pick of the Montreal Expos in 2000.
Two top-rated starting pitchers were first-overall picks (Stephen Strasburg, 2009, and David Price, 2007). Justin Verlander was picked second overall in 2004. But being drafted first or second does not guarantee stardom. The three other pitchers picked first or second from 2002 to 2007 were Bryan Bullington, drafted first by the Pirates in 2002, Luke Hochevar, drafted first by the Royals in 2006 and Greg Reynolds, drafted second by the Rockies in 2006. And it's not as if 2006 was a weak year for pitchers - Clayton Kershaw (drafted seventh by the Dodgers), Tim Lincecum and Max Scherzer were all picked in the top 11.
Six of the top-rated 14 were top-ten picks (Verlander, Kershaw, Strasburg, Price, Madison Bumgarner (drafted tenth by the Giants in 2007) and Zack Greinke (drafted sixth by the Royals in 2002)).
Five of the 14 were picked in the second ten – Jered Weaver, Angel s (2004, 12th pick), Chris Sale, White Sox (2010, 13), Cole Hamels, Phillies (2002, 17), R.A. Dickey, Texas (1996, 18) and CC Sabathia (1998, 20).
Matt Cain was drafted 25th by the Giants in 2002, Adam Wainwright was drafted 29th by the Braves in 2000 and Gio Gonzalez was a supplemental first-rounder, going 38th to the White Sox in 2004.
Five other pitchers picked in the top 30 starting pitchers in Yahoo! fantasy drafts were first-rounders: Roy Halladay, Toronto (1995, 17), Scherzer, Arizona (2006, 11), Brandon Morrow, Seattle (2006, 5), Lincecum, Giants (2006, 10) and Ian Kennedy, Yankees (2006, 21).
In 2013, breakout young pitchers Matt Harvey of the Mets (2010, 7) and Shelby Miller of the Cardinals (2009, 19) were drafted in the first round. Mike Minor went seventh to the Braves in 2009.
Miami rookie Jose Fernandez was drafted 14th in 2011. Trevor Bauer, now with Cleveland, was drafted third by Arizona in 2011.
In late May, Baltimore called up Kevin Gausman (2012, 4), St. Louis called up Michael Wacha (2012, 19) and Arizona called up Tyler Skaggs (a supplemental first-rounder drafted 40th by the Angels in 2009).

Many Top-Rated Hitters Were Amateur Draft First-Rounders
The Major League Baseball amateur draft, which is held in early June each year, does not get the same kind of attention as the NFL or NBA drafts. As cash fantasy baseball fans know, even successful draft choices generally take a few years to reach the majors. Many first-rounders fall well short of stardom, or even getting to the majors. But plenty of star players were originally drafted in the first round, including 12 of the 25 highest-drafted hitters in Yahoo! fantasy leagues this season.
Three of these hitters were number one overall picks – Bryce Harper by Washington in 2010, Justin Upton by Arizona in 2005 and Josh Hamilton by Tampa Bay in 1999. Joe Mauer (2001, Minnesota), Adrian Gonzalez (2000, Florida) and Alex Rodriguez (1993, Seattle) were also top overall picks.
But several other hitters picked first overall have not enjoyed that sort of success, including Delmon Young (2003, Tampa Bay), Matt Bush (2004, San Diego) and Tim Beckham (2008, Tampa Bay). (Beckham is still only 23, but is no longer considered a top prospect.)
Along with Harper, Upton and Hamilton, five other players drafted among Yahoo!'s top 25 were top-ten MLB draft choices: Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay (2006, third pick), Ryan Braun, Milwaukee (2005, 5), Buster Posey (2008, 5), Prince Fielder, Milwaukee (2002, 7) and Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado (2005, 7).
2005 was quite a year for hitters at the top of the draft, with Alex Gordon, picked second by the Royals and Ryan Zimmerman, picked fourth by the Nationals, joining Upton, Braun and Tulowitzki in the top seven. But Jeff Clement, picked third by Seattle in 2005, has been a bust.
The remaining four first-rounders in Yahoo!'s top 25 drafted hitters are Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh, 2005, 11), Jason Heyward (Atlanta, 2007, 14), Mike Trout (Angels, 2009, 25) and David Wright (Mets, 2001 supplemental, 38).
Five of Yahoo!'s top 25 drafted hitters were international players who were not part of the amateur draft: Miguel Cabrera, Robinson Cano, Carlos Gonzalez, Adrian Beltre and Jose Reyes.
Two of the most prominent hitter callups so far in 2013 – Jurickson Profar and Yasiel Puig – were also international free agents not subject to the draft.
But two other 2013 hitter callups were first-rounders – Anthony Rendon, Washington (2011, 6) and Nick Franklin, Seattle (2009, 27).
Wil Myers, expected to be the next big hitter callup sometime in June, was drafted in the third round by Kansas City in 2009 before being traded to Tampa Bay this past offseason.

Chicago White Sox Sign Outfielder Micker Zapata
I don't know much about this Dominican prospect but if the Future Sox article that brought him to my attention is accurate, Micker Zapata is someone to keep in mind for next year's minor league drafts.
In Zapata's case, the big tool in his kit is serious raw power from above average bat speed. At a January scouting combine in the DR, Jason Parks (of Baseball Prospectus) relayed a story about scouts being rendered silent by the bombs being continuously sent over the wall by Zapata. He may have the best power potential in the entire July 2nd class, despite his young age. Defensively, Scout.com's Kiley McDaniel notes he has a plus arm, and above average foot speed.

Atlanta Braves Hitters and the Mendoza Line
The Atlanta Braves have the biggest lead of any division leader and they've done it with three of their main hitters unable to cross the Mendoza Line for much of the season. On June 10, B.J. Upton was hitting .158, Dan Uggla was hitting .193 and Jason Heyward was at .200 exactly, the first time since April 3 he had gotten his batting average out of the .100s. As of press time, Upton was hitting .178, Uggla .203, and Heyward .227, not exactly great numbers for those who play weekly fantasy baseball.
The Braves success this season stems from their 3.20 staff ERA, an earned run average that is currently second in the majors. But they are also 13th in runs despite being 22th in batting average, thanks to their 99 homers, which is fourth in the majors.
Even if the Braves were not having so much success despite their low batting averages, contract considerations would likely keep Uggla and Upton in the lineup. They are the two highest-paid Braves, with Upton making $75 million for five years and Uggla getting $62 million for five years. (B.J. Upton's brother Justin has a six-year, $50 million deal.)
Uggla is still a slugger
Uggla at least is hitting homers. He has 13, second-best among second basemen behind the Yankees' Robinson Cano. Uggla, hit 30 homers for five straight seasons from 2007 to 2011 before hitting 19 last year.
But Uggla has also hit for a poor average since coming to Atlanta -.233 in 2011 and .220 in 2012. In his five seasons with the Marlins, Uggla hit below .250 twice.
Upton showing some signs of life
B.J. Upton has not hit above .250 since 2008 and he has at least 150 strikeouts in five of the last six seasons. But Upton also has five straight seasons of 30 or more steals and has averaged 23 homers per year over the last three seasons. This season, Upton has just six steals along with four caught stealing. He has eight homers.
Upton has shown signs of life in June, hitting .244 with four homers and 11 RBI in the month. He has 15 walks along with 21 strikeouts after fanning 63 times with 16 walks in April and May.
Heyward's power numbers are still poor
Heyward has also looked better in June, hitting .308 for the month after entering the month at .146. Heyward was hitting just .121 in April when he underwent an appendectomy and was out almost a month. After he returned in mid-May, Heyward hit .178 for the rest of May. Heyward's career April batting average is.231 and his May mark is .225, but his marks for the next three months are all .270 or above. But after hitting 27 homers with 21 steals in 2012, Heyward has just six homers and one steal this season.

Fantasy Baseball Daily Info: Matt Carpenter Leads Reinforcements at Second Base
With Ian Kinsler, Aaron Hill and Chase Utley on the disabled list and Martin Prado and Rickie Weeks slumping, several second basemen who may not have been drafted in some leagues have offered fantasy baseball daily, weekly and season-long owners good replacements.
Matt Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals
As of press time, Carpenter was fifth in MLB in runs with 58 and was in thirteenth in the majors in batting at .317. Carpenter had a .360 BABIP but his 2012 BABIP was .346. In May, Carpenter hit .352 with 18 walks and only ten strikeouts.
Carpenter hit .294 with 6 homers, 46 RBI and 44 runs in 296 at bats as a 26-year-old rookie in 2012. In the postseason, Carpenter homered off of Giants pitcher Matt Cain. Carpenter is also eligible at 1B, 3B and OF.
Jedd Gyorko, San Diego Padres
23-year-old rookie Gyorko joined the Padres this season after two straight minor league seasons of at least 25 homers, 100 RBI and a .310 BA. Gyorko struggled in April, but hit .303 in May with 6 homers, 12 RBI and 20 runs. In June, he hit .325 with 2 homers and 5 RBI. Gyorko also has 3B eligibility as a result of filling in at third in April when Chase Headley was on the DL. Despite playing in San Diego, Gyorko has an extreme home-road split in the other direction, with a .944 OPS at home vs. .670 on the road through 60 games. While Gyorko is currently on the DL with a groin injury, he is expected to be back soon.
Kelly Johnson, Tampa Bay Rays
Johnson, now 31, has not had much fantasy relevance since 2010, when he hit 26 homers with 13 steals and a .284 BA for Arizona. Johnson had what had become a typical month for him in April – 3 homers and a .227 BA – before exploding in May with 7 homers, 26 RBI and a .330 BA. But Johnson was struggling again at the start of June and missed a couple of games with back trouble.
As of press time Johnson had 39 RBI and 11 homers. Johnson also had six steals. The lefthanded Johnson had hit all 11 of his homers off righty pitchers.Johnson still has 2B eligibility in many fantasy baseball leagues despite primarily playing outfield for Tampa Bay.
Daniel Murphy, New York Mets
Murphy was third in runs scored among second basemen as of press time despite playing for the weak-hitting Mets. He typically batted second, in front of David Wright, and sometimes led off. The lefthanded Murphy hits much better against righties and on the road. His splits as of the end of June were .818 OPS vs. righties against .532 vs. lefties and .659 at home against .770 on the road.

Where Could Ebola Strike Next? Scientists Hunt Virus In Asia
By Michaeleen Doucleff
Published January 2, 2015 at 12:24 AM PST
Kevin Olival/EcoHealth Alliance
Ecologists found signs of Ebola in a Rousettus leschenaultii fruit bat. These bats are widespread across south Asia, from India to China.
A few years ago, disease ecologist David Hayman made the discovery of a lifetime.
He was a graduate student at the University of Cambridge. But he spent a lot of that time hiking through the rain forest of Ghana, catching hundreds of fruit bats.
"We would set large nets, up in the tree canopies," he says. "And then early morning, when the bats are looking for fruit to feed on, we'd captured them."
Hayman didn't want to hurt the bats. He just wanted a few drops of their blood.
Bats carry a huge number of viruses in their blood. When Hayman took the blood samples back to the lab, he found a foreboding sign: a high level of antibodies against Ebola Zaire.
Right away, Hayman was concerned.
Ebola Zaire is the deadliest of the five Ebola species, and it has caused the most outbreaks. The antibodies in the bat's blood meant the animals had once been infected with Ebola Zaire or something related to it.
Hayman knew West Africa was at risk for an Ebola outbreak. He and his colleagues even published the findings in the free journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, "so that anyone in the world could go and read them," Hayman says.
He thought health officials would also be worried. "We were all prepared for some sort of response, for questions," Hayman says. "But I have to say, not many came. ... Nothing happened."
That was two years ago. Now, with more than 20,000 Ebola cases reported in West Africa, health officials are definitely listening to Hayman.
Scientists think bats likely triggered the entire Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Just as Hayman predicted. "It's not a good way to be proven right," he says.
So now the big question is: Where else in the world is Ebola hiding out in bats? Where could the next big outbreak occur?
To find out, I called ecologist Kevin Olival at EcoHealth Alliance in New York City. Olival hunts down another virus in bats, called Nipah. In humans, it causes inflammation in the brain and comas. "It's the virus the movie Contagion is based on," Olival says.
Nipah has outbreaks every few years in Bangladesh. So Olival went there back in 2010 and captured a bunch of bats. Many had signs of Nipah in their blood. Others had something surprising: "There's antibodies to something related to Ebola Zaire."
Before this discovery, scientists thought Ebola Zaire was found only in Africa. "If you think about geographic space," Olival says, "it was a big shock to find evidence for this virus in a very faraway place in south Asia."
Olival and his colleagues published these findings in February 2013. Then, a few months later, a team reported evidence for the virus in China.
The bats with these antibodies have a broad range across south Asia, Olival says. "These species are found all the way down into parts of Indonesia."
The data suggest that Ebola Zaire is far more widespread around the world than previously thought.
So does that mean Ebola could have outbreaks in Bangladesh, China or Indonesia?
"Well, that's a tricky one," Olival says. "I think if you have the right combination of potential events, and sort of the perfect storm brews, then, yeah, it's possible."
Now, there's no sign bats have infected people in Asia with Ebola Zaire. And antibody tests can't say whether the virus in the bats was specifically Ebola Zaire or something related.
But Olival isn't waiting to find out. Both he and David Hayman, who's now at Massey University in New Zealand, are working on ways to predict when and where Ebola and other deadly viruses will cause outbreaks.
In particular, Olival is working with USAID to build an early warning system for dangerous viruses. The system could alert communities when the risk of an outbreak is high. People could be more careful while hunting bats or avoid their guano.
"The ultimate goal is to move toward prediction," Olival says. "Again and again, we're hearing with the current massive Ebola outbreak that if it was detected earlier it would have been better contained."
Because both ecologists agree: It's not a question of whether a virus in the Ebola family will cause an outbreak outside of Africa, but a matter of when and where.

Ww1 inventions
What new inventions were used in ww1?
12 Technological Advancements of World War I Tanks . In 1914, the "war of movement" expected by most European generals settled down into an unexpected, and seemingly unwinnable, war of trenches. Flamethrowers . Poison Gas . Tracer Bullets . Interrupter Gear . Air traffic control . Depth Charges . Hydrophones .
What new technologies were introduced in World War I and how did they impact the war?
Machine gun – The machine gun was improved during the war. It was made much lighter and easier to move around. Flame throwers – Flame throwers were used by the German Army on the western front in order to force the enemy out of their trenches. Chemical weapons – World War I also introduced chemical weapons to warfare.
Who won World War 1?
The war pitted the Central Powers—mainly Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey—against the Allies—mainly France, Great Britain , Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States. It ended with the defeat of the Central Powers.
What stopped ww1?
On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Nations (including Britain, France, Italy and Russia) signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the war. (Versailles is a city in France, 10 miles outside of Paris.)
Why was ww1 so deadly?
The loss of life was greater than in any previous war in history, in part because militaries were using new technologies, including tanks, airplanes, submarines, machine guns, modern artillery, flamethrowers, and poison gas. These trenches came to symbolize a new kind of warfare.

What caused ww1?
The immediate cause of World War I that made the aforementioned items come into play (alliances, imperialism, militarism, nationalism) was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. When Russia began to mobilize due to its alliance with Serbia, Germany declared war on Russia.
Why did US enter ww1?
The U.S. entered World War I because Germany embarked on a deadly gamble. Germany sank many American merchant ships around the British Isles which prompted the American entry into the war.
What has America invented?

The Roomba. ARPANET.
Did the US win both world wars?
Great Britain, France, and the United States didn't win the war . The Soviet Union did . When Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, not the other way around.
Who started World War 2?
World War II began in Europe on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland . Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany on September 3. The war between the U.S.S.R. and Germany began on June 22, 1941, with the German invasion of the Soviet Union.

Who did the United States fight in World War 2?
Three days later, Germany and Italy, allied with Japan , declared war on the United States. America was now drawn into a global war. It had allies in this fight–most importantly Great Britain and the Soviet Union. But the job the nation faced in December 1941 was formidable.

Our history begins when a dozen German families immigrated to the Tri-City area (Davenport, Iowa and Moline and Rock Island, Illinois) to live among 500 other pioneer families and began serving Jews throughout Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa. They had the foresight to establish the Mt. Nebo Cemetery in 1851 which is still owned and maintained by our congregation today. The earliest records we have, which are in German, indicate that B'Nai Israel Congregation officially came into being on October 21, 1861. A constitution and by-laws were adopted on December 6, 1862. We are the oldest, continuously active Jewish congregation in the State of Iowa.
Since 1879, this congregation has proudly been affiliated with the American Reform Movement and joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) just 6 short years after the UAHC was founded. Our Sisterhood is one of a few remaining who originally established the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, now known as the WRJ (Women of Reform Judaism).
This American Reform Jewish organization is the largest Jewish movement in North America and represents 1.5 million Jews from over 900 congregations. In 2003, the Union for Reform Judaism name (URJ) was formally approved to replace the UAHC and better reflect today's environment.
In April 2011 we celebrated 150 years in continuous existence with a special Shabbat weekend led by then-URJ President, Rabbi Eric Yoffie. We followed this wonderful celebration with another exhilarating weekend in November 2011, with world renown Torah Scribe, Neil Yerman. Sofer Yerman led us through discussions and examinations of our Torah Scrolls and finally with a Torah Lettering project in one of our scrolls that our Temple families found deeply meaningful and uplifting.
Each year brings new challenges and new blessings. We can't wait to see what's in store for us this year!
Established 1861. Current location since 1953.
Devoted to the enhancement of Reform Jewish life.

Organisation, passionate, dynamic most overused buzzwords: LinkedIn
LinkedIn noted 10 most overused buzzwords and these three words were among the top 10 overused words in 2015.
January 23, 2016, 09:15 IST
NEW DELHI: If you want to make your LinkedIn profile stand out, then avoid words like 'organisation', 'passionate' and 'dynamic' from your profile.
Leading professional network LinkedIn, following an analysis of profile summaries of members across India noted 10 most overused buzzwords and these three words were among the top 10 overused words in 2015.
The other top buzzwords from 2015 are: leadership, responsible, creative, motivated, innovative, strategic, and extensive experience.
"In real-life situations, we can't imagine using words such as 'strategic', 'driven' or as having 'extensive experience' to describe ourselves, so why use them in our LinkedIn profiles?," LinkedIn India & Hong Kong Head of Communications Deepa Sapatnekar said.
'Organization' is a new addition to the buzzwords list in India and has ranked the highest in occurrence across profiles of students, sales, and HR professionals.
While, 'passionate' was buzzword of 2014, it has dropped by a notch in 2015. Meanwhile, words like 'leadership,' 'motivated,' and 'creative' ranked much lower in the top 10 list for India, while they emerged in the top three globally.
"We're encouraging our members steer away from these overused cliches. For example, showcase how you were strategic instead of using the buzzword. Another way you can turn a spotlight on your profile is by adding pictures, presentations and anecdotes," Sapatnekar added.

This is my first ever product review! It is NOT sponsored but if any brands are reading this, please feel free to send me new products to try out. This product review is on the Garnier Fructis Papaya Hair Mask. I tested it out on my 3B/C curls. My mum's 2B/C waves and my brothers 4A coils. If you want to check it out here is the link to it on Amazon!
I don't typically buy new hair products, I usually opt for natural products like olive oil and aloe vera gel to nourish my curls. However, while on holiday, we only travelled with hand luggage so I couldn't bring all of my hair products. Since I got my cousin to braid my hair, I didn't mind because I thought I would wear my hair in this style the whole week.
After 4 days of water parks, beaches and swimming pools, it was clear that I needed to take my hair out. Despite the 30 degrees sunshine, the water wasn't drying out of my hair. Instead,, the style was locking the sea and pool water in. So I decided it was time for me to take the hair out and let it breathe. When I took out the extensions I gave my hair a wash with some coconut shampoo and then used a Pantene conditioner before allowing it to air dry and then styling. However, it felt really really dry.
While at the shops I came across the hair aisle and saw the Garnier Fructis Hair Masks in Banana, Papaya and Coconut. I had seen these circulating on Instagram a few months ago but the tubs were always much smaller and I always wondered how those tiny tubs lasted more than one use. The ones on the shelf were big tubs of 390ml so I reckoned I may aswell give it a go. I picked up Papaya because I have tried products including Banana and Coconut but never Papaya on my hair so I was intrigued. Although it was written in Spanish, I could make out that the product is 98% natural and 96% biodegradable and since I love opting for natural ingredients I was sold. It is also free from silicones, parabens and artificial colourants. It cost €5.50, a little expensive but it was a big tub and my hair needed it.
Later in the day when I got home, I applied the mask throughout my hair in sections. When I opened the tub the off-white hair mask was a really nice, thick consistency. I love when masks are nice and thick, it really makes me think that my hair is being coated with moisturising goodness! It had a beautiful fragrant smell and my mum and brother kept going on about how good it smelt. I split my hair into about 7 section starting at the back and raking the product through each section thoroughly, finger detangling each part and flattening out the frizz and ensuring the dry ends were smooth and hydrated. I was so surprised to see that I had barely made a dent in the tub.
I twisted each section and put my hair in a microfibre towel overnight before heading to bed. Now the instructions say to leave the mask on for 3 minutes but I felt that it was way to short especially as I wanted my hair to really absorb the product.
In the morning when I woke up, my hair was so soft, like unbelievably soft. The product absorbed really well into my hair and I loved the feel and the smell. The twists had shrunk but my hair looked really healthy and felt it too.
After rinsing my hair out in the shower with cold water, I left it to dry a little in a micro fibre towel. When I took my hair out, the curls were super defined and moisturised. I was blown away by the results.
As it dried the front frizzed up, but to be fair, there were no other products on my hair, and my hair had to deal with 29 degrees of sunshine for the whole day. It has even started to go brown!
Personally, I love the results of this on my hair, but I wanted to test it especially as it claims it can be used as a mask, a leave in and a regular conditioner. To test this, I ambushed my brother before the shower. I dumped a load in his hair while he was finding his towel. He has short 4a/b hair and doesn't use any moisturising products in his hair to my frustration which leaves his hair dry most of the time.
I rubbed it into his head, covering all the hair on the top. He then jumped into his shower about 5 minutes later and washed it out. Unfortunately, it didn't really work as well as I expected on his hair. It felt softer but his hair wasn't any more defined.
Next was my mum. It was really the smell that enticed her. She used to permanently straighten her hair, but with my encouragement, she has now begun to wear her hair more in its natural state. Her hair falls in very loose wavy curls. Similar to my brother she uses nothing other than shampoo and conditioner once a week, however, she does do the occasional hot oil treatment. She was sat back on the balcony with a face mask on reading a magazine when she asked me to put the hair mask in her hair too. So similar to my hair, I parted hers into sections like mine and twisted it with the product in. Unlike my hair, hers started to fall out after 20 minutes but she still kept the product in her hair for around 2 hours. I wanted to see if the product only worked because of my hair texture and if it would weigh her hair down.
After 2/3 hours she hopped into the shower but our thoughts were correct. While the hair mask did a great job of nourishing her hair and actually turning her waves into full-blown curls it did definitely weigh it down and make her hair look limp. My mum loves her hair being light and fluffy curls so this is not the product for her.
As I keep saying, personally I love this product and I am definitely going to buy it again. I love the smell, texture, ingredients and the effect on my hair. However, it is not something that I would recommend to everybody as the results that my mum and brother had did not match mine. If you do have curly hair, similar to me give it a go!
I have a small favour to ask of you. Please, can you follow my brand on as many socials as possible and follow this blog as well! This will help you to stay up to date with any new opportunities e.g photoshoots and product giveaways that are in the pipeline. Also to keep you posted with the launch of my hair products.
If you have any specific struggles or concerns with your hair, don't hesitate to comment below, submit a hair analysis form or just send me a message.

Q: Injecting angular element from controller but not working as directive My problem is that a html element needs to be replaced with a directive on event call. So i am calling a function in my controller on click event and appending the angular element at the desired position, that angular element is a directive so i need to do something to make it recognizable as directive. I have tried $compile but that doesn't work at controller level.
My controller Code
angular.element(document.body).append("<annotation></annotation> ");

My Directive code
app.directive("annotation", function($compile){

var linker = function(scope,element, attrs){
    element.html("Done "+attrs.content);

    if(attrs.content){

        $(element).tooltipster({
            content: $("<button class=\"btn btn-primary\">Highlight</button>"),
            animation: 'fade',
            delay: 200,
            interactive: true,
            theme: 'tooltipster-default',
            touchDevices: false,
            trigger: 'hover'
          });
    }

    $compile(element)(attrs);
}

return {
    restrict : "E",
    template: '

',
    replace : true,
    link : linker,
    scope: {
        content: "="
    }
};

});

A: Update:: Something akin to this might work:
.controller('myController', ['$scope', '$compile', function ($scope, $compile) {
    $scope.onClick = function () {
        angular.element(document.body).append(
                $compile("<annotation></annotation>")($scope)
        );
    };
}]);

It can be made to work the way you want by injecting $compile into the controller and then doing DOM manipulation therein. However, it is not the correct approach and flouts one of the rules from Zen of Angular.

Do not do DOM manipulations in the Controller.

The Correct Way (TM), IMO, will be to have the click change a boolean flag on the $scope in the controller and then using that boolean flag to switch between the templates:
Template:

    Click here to see annotations.

<annotation></annotation>

Controller:
$scope.annotationVisible = false;
$scope.showAnnotation = function () { $scope.annotationVisible = true; };

Not every breakup is permanent but that doesn't mean every couple should or will get back together.
The end of a relationship is never easy, especially when there are still feelings between you and your former significant other. But how can you tell if there's a chance you might be able to or should try to rekindle things with your ex in the future? INSIDER spoke to therapist and relationship expert Rachel Sussman to find out.
The best way to know if you and your ex are in that percentage of couples who might try again to make a relationship work could be by having an open conversation about it. But if you're not sure where your former relationship stands, here are some signs that your breakup could be only temporary.
Don't do what Ross and Rachel did — define what "a break" means before you take one.
It can be nerve-wracking to take a break from your relationship, but according to Sussman, that break can actually contribute to your relationship's future success, as long as you both agree on what it means ahead of time.
Chances are if you've decided to go your separate ways, it was probably for a few reasons. If the relationship is going to work in the future and both individuals are committed to moving forward, you'll both need to tackle the reasons for the breakup or separation.
"In order for the 'new' relationship to work out, it takes time apart and they both have to have worked out the issues that broke them up in the first place," Sussman told INSIDER.
Sussman said that if your ex has reached out to say that "they are working on themselves and understand that your issues and past complaints were valid," it could be a sign that things could work out the second time around, especially if you've noticed that your partner is making major changes in their life.
That being said, fixing an external factor in one's personal life isn't a surefire sign a relationship has been mended.
An apology doesn't necessarily mean your ex wants to get back together with you.
Although seeking forgiveness and making amends is a great start, an apology doesn't always mean someone wants to get back into a relationship, just as giving forgiveness doesn't always mean the relationship will be renewed. Every relationship is different and you'll want to consider many factors before giving the relationship another shot post-apology.

HORNETS' KAMINSKY CARRIES BABY DOWN 40 FLIGHTS DURING HIGH-RISE EVACUATION
Entertainment, National News, Sports
When a bomb threat forced the evacuation of his high-rise building on Thursday, Charlotte Hornets center Frank Kaminsky quickly found himself serving as a good Samaritan.
Kaminsky had settled in after practice to play Fortnight and snack on some Cheez-Its, when he suddenly had to change his plans after fire alarms sounded and residents of the Charlotte building were told they have to leave.
Forced to walk down 49 floors after elevators were shut off, Kaminsky came across some neighbors in need of help after beginning his trek.
"About three stories down, there was a lady with a baby and a dog and a couple of other things she had to carry, so I just helped her carry the baby," he told the Charlotte Observer Friday.
The bomb threat to his building was one of dozens in Charlotte and across the nation on Thursday that were not credible, but forced many people to evacuate while police investigated.
The 6-foot, 11-inch center told the Observer he's just "a good Samaritan," and said the entire situation dragged out when residents had to wait for the building's elevators to be reactivated.
"I'm not walking back up 49 floors," Kaminsky told the paper. "That's just not a thing that's going to happen."

Great article from Maddie Crum on Huff Post about e-books vs. print. The article lists the following as research-based reasons that print is still preferred for most readers.
Do any of these resonate with you? Can you share a story supporting or contradicting any of these findings?
Absolutely true! Students do not like reading books online. I purchased ereaders and many titles in ebook format for them and instead, students want print! Go figure, our digital natives don't want digital!
I can't speak for anyone else but each statement of "truth" is not true for me. I prefer ebooks because I can carry them with me all the time, tons of them/ Even when I had no idea that I might have a few minutes to read my books are always readily available.
As I write this post I am sitting with my feet up staring at a bookshelf too full of books. I often think our whole floor might have collapsed if ebooks had not rescued us. I am not a patient person and in a world without ebooks I was often miserable waiting, in a doctors office, at the dentist, for a friend, for my family. Happily I can now endure waiting for anything because all my books are with me.
When I go on a trip I carry my whole library. I never lose a book or misplace it. I have no trouble connecting with the reading and when there is a word a don't comprehend, help is immediate. Horray for ebooks I want no other kind.
Interestingly, there are so few free ebooks readily available to young students. When I go to sites that claim to have them, my computer warns me that they are dangerous sites. I can find tons of free books for me but few for young readers. That is truly just too bad.
I agree with Carole that there are no truths in the field of reading eBooks.The Pew research is really about people's impressions and the Huffington Post uses those survey results to add an air of "truth." I also agree that eBook provide a sense of mobility that is impossible with books. Having said that, our students are still adjusting to eBook technology after having learned to read using conventional books. There is some evidence that eBooks are better for some types of reading than others, but the evidence is limited. Here are my observations of students here at Choate in the context of the many treatises on eBooks I have seen.
Some researchers in the areas of phonemic awareness, decoding, and comprehension suggest that one has to learn to read an eBook just as we learn to read a conventional book, and the two processes are different for our brains.
Some of my students claim that reading textbooks and other reference sources on an eBook is okay, but they do not enjoy reading novels or lengthy analytical nonfiction pieces in digital form. I would echo their sentiments for complex plots. The characteristics of conventional books (feel of the paper, relative position of text on a page or within the book, etc.) makes it easier to go back and find a passage.
The notion of an eBook reader has changed. When Will began this Ning an eBook was a special purpose device that was designed for reading. While I still have a Kindle, I note that very few of my students own them. Most have a tablet device such as an iPad, and the reading experience is quite different, even with the Kindle or iBooks apps.
Since the advent of iBooks and other media-rich eBook reader platforms, I have wondered what constitutes a book. Are embedded videos, simulations, audios, and photo galleries part of a book or something else we haven't names yet?
We are in the early stages of eBook technology. Ten years ago, the MIT Media Lab was experimenting with true digital paper -- pulp that contained digital circuitry. The work faded into the background when the Kindle and Nook appeared, but I have to think it will return at some point. the idea was that we would each own one nice casebound book containing real pages that could be downloaded with different texts from our library in the cloud. How about that!
I really think that #1 is the key. Unfortunately, i haven't met any eBook reading teachers yet.
I agree that I find the farther we get into the digital reading age, the more I treasure my print books. Digital reading technology is so "contingent"; lots of things have to be in place for it to work (is my battery charged?, is the wifi working?, is this screen backlit for reading in sub-optimal lighting?). That paperback I want to read requires only that I can find it and see it.
I don't think this is true of younger people....or older people. Some people respond better to print/paper books. Others prefer electronic books....age has little to do with it. I'd be more likely to agree with left-brain/right-brain grouping than by age.
I personally LOVE to read electronically. I like having the dictionary available at a tap and I don't have to worry about my electronic highliter drying out. If I want to research a topic elsewhere to check for validity, I can do that instantly.
3. Nonsense. College students especially will take free first.
5. What's your source for this data? Readers connect with the story - who cares how it's delivered?
7. It's the cuddle factor. You can cuddle with an iPad or a Nook, too.
8. I read myself to sleep with my iPad every night - doesn't impact my sleep at all. Really. I'm a good sleeper.
I love your passionate push-back! It is interesting that the article in the Guardian (about the lack of emotional connection) demonstrates the fragmented nature of research on this topic. I know I saw research supporting the idea that the synesthetic qualities of reading a print book somehow increases readers awareness and alertness during reading--will try to find. I agree wholeheartedly that distraction is distraction, no matter how you are consuming text.

IN THE NEWS - December 15, 2001: Bush/ABM Treaty - 2001-12-14
This is Steve Ember with the VOA Special English Program, IN THE NEWS.
President Bush has announced that the United States will withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The United States and the former Soviet Union signed the treaty in Nineteen-Seventy-Two.
The ABM treaty bans national missile-defense systems that protect against long range missiles. It was designed to guarantee it would not be safe for either side to begin a nuclear attack against the other. President Bush says the threat of international terrorism requires the United States to move beyond the treaty. The withdrawal takes effect in six months.
Mister Bush made the announcement Thursday at the White House. It marked the first time that the United States has withdrawn from a major arms control treaty. The announcement ended months of negotiations with Russia, which opposed the action.
The president said he could not -- and would not -- permit the United States to remain in the treaty. He said the treaty prevents effective defenses against missiles that terrorists or nations could fire at the United States.
Mister Bush said the world was very different when the United States and the former Soviet Union signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile agreement. He said dangerous tensions between the two nuclear powers ended long ago. He also said the present disagreement would not wreck good relations between the United States and Russia.
In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin called the American decision to withdraw from the treaty "a mistake." He said the treaty has been extremely important to world security over the years. However, he said American withdrawal does not threaten Russian security. Mister Putin also promised to honor his proposal to reduce Russia's nuclear weapons. He spoke on national television.
In China, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman expressed concern about American plans for its new missile-defense system. Sweden warned that Mister Bush's decision risked serious problems. The nation said the decision could incite a new international race to develop weapons. However, Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel said he understands the American withdrawal. He said the Nineteen-Seventy-Two missile agreement is out of date.
The missile-defense system Mister Bush wants is mainly meant to protect from small-scale attacks. The plan calls for development and deployment of a defensive barrier for the whole United States. The system would be able to find and destroy missiles directed at the nation. It is currently being tested.
Russia had set conditions for the United States to continue with the new system under the A-B-M treaty. It said the United States could do so if it told Russia each time it launched a missile. Russia remained firm in that demand, while the United States continually refused it.

Swamplandia! (Large Print / Hardcover, Large Print)
By Karen Russell
February 2011 Indie Next List
"Located in the Florida Everglades, the Swamplandia island theme park is also home to the Bigtrees, a family of alligator wrestlers. When the mom and star of the show dies, the Bigtree way of life unravels. Dad heads to the mainland to find investors, while his three teenagers are left to deal with their losses. Kiwi attempts to infiltrate a rival amusement park, Ossie falls in love with a ghost, and the story's 13-year-old narrator, Ava, wrestles with a force more fearsome than gators: the loss of innocence. Karen Russell's sentences are so beautiful and original, they will leave you breathless!"
— Michael Keefe, Annie Bloom's Books, Portland, OR
Summer 2012 Reading Group
From the celebrated twenty-nine-year-old author of the everywhere-heralded short-story collection "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves" ("How I wish these were my own words, instead of the breakneck demon writer Karen Russell's . . . Run for your life. This girl is on fire"--"Los Angeles Times Book Review") comes a blazingly original debut novel that takes us back to the swamps of the Florida Everglades, and introduces us to Ava Bigtree, an unforgettable young heroine.
The Bigtree alligator-wrestling dynasty is in decline, and Swamplandia , their island home and gator-wrestling theme park, formerly #1 in the region, is swiftly being encroached upon by a fearsome and sophisticated competitor called the World of Darkness. Ava's mother, the park's indomitable headliner, has just died; her sister, Ossie, has fallen in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, who may or may not be an actual ghost; and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, who dreams of becoming a scholar, has just defected to the World of Darkness in a last-ditch effort to keep their family business from going under. Ava's father, affectionately known as Chief Bigtree, is AWOL; and that leaves Ava, a resourceful but terrified thirteen, to manage ninety-eight gators and the vast, inscrutable landscape of her own grief.
Against a backdrop of hauntingly fecund plant life animated by ancient lizards and lawless hungers, Karen Russell has written an utterly singular novel about a family's struggle to stay afloat in a world that is inexorably sinking. An arrestingly beautiful and inventive work from a vibrant new voice in fiction.

If you've got high aspirations, talent and motivation are only prerequisites for an elite job. A charismatic personality is what really takes you to the top.
Napoleon Hill, author of the best-selling 1937 book "Think and Grow Rich," explored the habits of the most likable people in his essay "Develop A Pleasing Personality," which was included in the book "The Science of Success."
In the late 19th century, steel magnate Charles M. Schwab's charm elevated him from day laborer to an executive with a $75,000 salary and a frequent million-dollar bonus (unfathomable numbers for the time), according to Hill.
The legendary industrialist Andrew Carnegie told Hill that "the yearly salary was for the work Schwab performed, but the bonus was for what Schwab, with his pleasing personality, could get others to do."
Here are Hill's 14 habits of people who are so likable that others go out of their way to help them.

GEG Table Tennis Team Claimed Championship in Competition Organized by Macao Hotel Employees Association
1. With great skills and performance, the GEG table tennis team was crowned champion in the competition.
2. The GEG athlete (right) maintained her lead with a stable performance throughout the game and battled down her strong rival with a 2:0 victory.
September 26, 2012 – Table tennis team formed by 6 members of Galaxy Entertainment Group ("GEG") participated in the table tennis competition organized by Macao Hotel Employees Association for the first time. The GEG team finished off their opponent 2-0 in the final competition last week to win the champion trophy for the company, demonstrating exceptional skills and great teamwork.
Commencing in early September, the table tennis competition was joined by 8 strong teams from different hotel operators, including the one formed by 2 male and 4 female table tennis enthusiasts from GEG. To prepare for the competition, the GEG athletes have dedicated their leisure time for intensive practices; Not only their skills were greatly improved after the training, but they also developed an excellent rapport with one another. The GEG athletes were all very pleased with the experience throughout the competition as they were given a chance to develop their strength and potential with people who share the same interest.
As an athlete who has represented Macau in a number of international competitions, Sarah Wong from the human resources & administration department was positioned as a key player in the GEG team for her skills. She said, "It actually gives me a lot of pressures being an amateur athlete, constantly striving for a balance between work and practices. Certainly I have had thoughts on giving up but the great support and encouragement from my superiors and colleagues are one of the biggest motivations that make me continue with my table tennis career." She hoped that the GEG table tennis team could achieve more awards in the future.
To help its team members maintain a balanced lifestyle, GEG has played a part in encouraging them to participate in sporting activities during leisure hours, so that they can fully realize their individual potentials. In addition to the table tennis team, GEG has also supported its team members in establishing the dragon boat team, basketball team and football team, in order to provide them with more opportunities to showcase their talents.
