"In the future, we can expect to see more learners seeking out upskilling and reskilling options as their jobs and industries change and evolve and new sectors of the economy emerge," according to Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), the umbrella group for community colleges.
With the rapid changes in types and modes of work, learning new skills is critical for everyone, even those already employed, experts say.
"It's really the way of the future for the work force," says Linda Franklin, president and chief executive officer of the advocacy organization Colleges Ontario.
"We have all sorts of technological advances, artificial intelligence, and all of this is transforming everyone's jobs – not just the jobs you think about immediately," she says.
Working with artificial intelligence is key, but it is more than that. On construction sites, for example, workers look at blueprints on their smartphones; in agriculture, growers need to know details about different strains of cannabis.
Community colleges across Canada are moving quickly to provide courses and training to help workers transition to a 21st-century economy.
"Already, 60 per cent of our students come from the work force, not directly from high school," Ms. Franklin says.
"College programs have come a long way," says Waseem Habash, vice-president, academic at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ont.
For nearly five years, St. Clair has worked with local industry to identify what kinds of training workers will need in areas such as robotics and artificial intelligence for manufacturing work.
The school has also acquired its own metal-cutting factory, where students can learn for 46 weeks - and get paid - making parts for local heavy industries.
"The students get paid, and they also get a ministry certificate [Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities] for a level- one apprenticeship. The program also helps employers, who can identify who to hire," Mr. Habash says.
In a submission to Parliament's standing committee on finance in advance of the next budget, CICan called in August for a national strategy for reskilling and upskilling the workforce.
"While it is difficult to predict the adjustments that will be required, a skills training infrastructure that creates a culture of lifelong learning is needed, to ensure the adaptability and resiliency that Canadians need to weather uncertainty," the group's submission said.
Experts say there is an urgent need for workers across all sectors to be nimble and ready for disruption. A research paper by the Royal Bank of Canada released earlier this year predicts that 50 per cent of Canadian jobs will be disrupted by automation in the next 10 years.
"Rather than a nation of coders, digital literacy – the ability to understand digital items, digital technologies or the Internet fluently – will be necessary for all new jobs," the RBC report said.
Another just-released study by HSBC Bank Canada finds that only 38 per cent of parents agree that their child's education to date has prepared them for the world of 2030 and beyond.
Community colleges are positioned to help people adjust to the future, by providing programs that offer practical skills, Ms. Franklin says. They already offer courses that include, in many cases, on-site experience – the skills that people are looking for and which employers seek.
People recognize that the economy is changing, Ms. Franklin says.
"Parents and young people used to talk to us about how they want education to be a meaningful global experience, to lead to self-actualization. Ever since the last recession [in 2008-2009], they focus on education that will lead to a rewarding career. That's a discussion that's based entirely on learning skills," she says.
Colleges can help students who are just about to enter the work force or are already there, Ms. Franklin adds.
"We're going to see more and more ways of getting people the skills they need quickly, recognizing that many of them already have kids and mortgages and other responsibilities," she says. "That means more quick turnaround courses, fast programs, more use of online."
Cannabis – With cannabis now legal in Canada, several colleges offer programs relating to this growth industry. Niagara College in Ontario offers a program in commercial cannabis production, teaching plant nutrition, environment and pest control, facilities management and staffing and security. College of the Rockies in British Columbia offers a cannabis retail specialist program. Durham College in Ontario has a cannabis industry specialization certificate for professionals with prior business experience.
Wind turbine technician – Wind power continues to grow as an alternative source of energy in Canada, according to the National Energy Board. Colleges such as St. Lawrence College in Ontario, Holland College in Prince Edward Island and Alberta's Lethbridge College are training technicians. The program at Lethbridge, for instance, offers training in turbine maintenance, construction, manufacturing and blade repair.
Computer skills – Want to be a cloud application developer? Security intelligence engineer? Both Seneca College in Ontario and Bow Valley College in Alberta have partnered with the IBM Skills Academy, part of a worldwide initiative by the computer giant to teach computer skills that range from essential to specialized. Prospective students take a self-assessment to see if they are ready for particular courses.
Robotics – To face the automation wave head-on, robotics programs range from a robotics technician certificate program at George Brown College's continuing education department, to the British Columbia Institute of Technology's mechatronics and robotics program.

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis Has Been Proved Wrong But Economists Do Not Want to Listen
Fixing the Economists Article of the Week
by Philip Pilkington
The Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) is wrong. It has been proved wrong. Do you think you've heard this before? You likely have, but the proof that you've heard that the EMH is wrong probably has not done the damage that you thought it had.
When I studied the EMH for my dissertation I noticed that many had thought that the financial crisis of 2008 had proved the EMH wrong. In one way this was true. Investigations undertaken by the authorities had uncovered that people within many markets were actively misleading the public about the underlying value of securities.
After being told that a security was not structured properly an S&P official said that they would rate it regardless. "We rate every deal. It could be structured by cows and we would rate it." If the EMH says that markets price in risk perfectly then the markets were not operating in the manner the EMH predicted in the run-up to 2008.
Nevertheless, this mattered little for the other claim made by the EMH proponents. The EMH proponents said that you cannot beat the market consistently. Because all information is already priced in then any gains you make over the market will only be temporary. If you beat the market this year, the chance that you beat the market next year will be extremely low. If you beat the market both this year and next year then the chance that you will beat the market the year after will be lower still. Using this reasoning you will, in the long-run, be completely unable to beat the market.
I found this reasoning terribly troubling. First of all, just because most people cannot beat the market does not mean that the EMH is correct. A number of other hypotheses could also be correct. For example, the Post-Keynesian proposition that the future is inherently uncertain and thus that predictive techniques of complex market dynamics will likely fail could also be confirmed by the same observation.
Secondly, the proposition struck me as being tautological. Who was the 'you' in the statement 'you cannot beat the market'? It seemed to me to be the idea of an 'average investor'. But, as everyone knows, 'the market' is simply the outcome of the average decisions of all investors taken together. Thus, 'the market' is actually the expression of 'the average investor'. The two terms — 'the market' and 'the average investor' — are actually synonyms. So, the statement 'the average investor cannot beat the market' could just as easily be read as 'the market cannot beat the market' or, alternatively, 'the average investor cannot beat the average investor'. This struck me as being a purely tautological and highly problematic approach to studying markets. It appeared that EMH proponents were confusing the idea of the 'average investor' with any given 'particular investor'.
Thirdly, tied to the second point and most importantly, it appeared to me that many people do indeed consistently beat the market. The probability of someone like Warren Buffett existing seemed to me, from an EMH perspective, entirely implausible. But then I found something even more unlikely: John Maynard Keynes had, in the 1930s, effectively tracked Warren Buffett's stock market performance. In the graph below you can see Keynes' investments plotted against both Buffett's and the market return in his own time.
As John Authers wrote in his article 'Keynes Stands Tall Among Investors' when he compares Keynes with Buffett:
What of Warren Buffett, the world's best-regarded investor? The chart shows how the portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway, his main investment vehicle, has performed over the past 22 years – and the King's endowment under Keynes did better. Had we chosen the first 22 years of Buffett's tenure, when his portfolio was smaller, making it easier to outperform, Buffett would be ahead. But Keynes' record places him in exalted company.
Now, this seemed to me beyond a coincidence. Maybe you could make the case that Buffett was an anomaly, an outlier on the probability map, but Keynes? This seemed doubtful. Was it merely a coincidence that one of the greatest and most famous economists of the 20th century — one who emphasised the unpredictability of the future and the irrationality of the financial markets — was also able to beat the odds? This seemed highly improbable. But the plot thickened as I pursued this further: it seemed that Keynes had used a very similar investment strategy to Buffett. While in the 1920s he had tried to play some silly mathematical games he had lagged the market. But when he switched to the strategy that Buffett uses he saw his gains soar. Authers writes:
His performance lagged the market in the 1920s, when he used an elaborate economic model to time the market. It did not work, and he failed to spot the Great Crash coming. He admitted that this approach "needs phenomenal skill to make much out of it". So he switched to picking stocks. Like Buffett, he said he became ever more convinced that "the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises one thinks one knows something about". His results speak for themselves.
Could this all be coincidence? It seemed to me that it probably was not. And then I stumbled on a famous 1984 article by Warren Buffett himself entitled 'The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville'. In the article Buffett discussed a group of nine investors who had substantially outperformed the market in a 20 year period. He accepted that these could all be simple probabilistic anomalies — black swans, as it were — but he noted one important point: they all came from the same school of investing.
Now this did not mean that they all bought the same assets. If they had that would explain the anomaly. But they did not. They all had different strategies and they bought different assets. But they all followed the same philosophy.
As Buffett said in the piece: if there were 1,500 cases of a rare cancer in the US and 400 of them were in a small mining town in Montana good scientists would probably go to the mining town and check the water. Economists do not do this type of research, however, which is what critical realists and other critics of econometric/probabilistic approaches (present writer included) always complain about. But if they did do true scientific research Buffett's article would interest them greatly.
Looked at from anything resembling a scientific approach it is quite obvious that Buffett's article proves the EMH completely wrong. It is also interesting that the investment strategy that Buffett, Keynes and the nine other investors discussed in Buffett's article runs exactly contrary to the EMH assumption of information being priced into markets at all times. Indeed, their investment strategy rests on the idea that market prices often diverge substantially and for long periods of time from the underlying value of the assets.
So, what have the economists said in response? Nothing. Not being scientists but rather moralists and soothsayers they simply avoid contrary evidence when it is presented to them. As the investor Seth Klarman wrote in his book Margin of Safety:
Buffett's argument has never, to my knowledge, been addressed by the efficient-market theorists; they evidently prefer to continue to prove in theory what was refuted in practice. (p199)
Economists and business schools continue to teach the EMH, of course. It continues to give off the mystique that markets somehow get the price 'right'. It does so by being vague to the point of meaninglessness in many cases. But when it does manage to say something concrete and make a claim that can be falsified, it fails. And when it fails its proponents simply ignore the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This is not science. It is ideology.

While some market indicators have suggested the Canadian economy is contracting, private companies are still optimistic about their growth potential, a new survey indicates.
According to professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and its Business Insights survey, an overwhelming majority of small business owners – 82 percent – believe their company will expand during the next 12 months, a significant jump compared to the 66 percent who said the same last year.
Tahir Ayub, Canadian leader for the firm's private company services practice, said small businesses have adapted to the economy's downturn so that they're more able to adequately face financial challenges.
"They are ready for whatever the markets throw at them, which accounts for the optimism," said Ayub.
Though businessowners expect to be in good shape overall, they nevertheless cited issues that may hinder peak performance levels. The potential problems cited most frequently were competition and profitability.

Using 3D printers in fight against COVID-19
Staff at Singleton Public Library have answered the call from local doctors, harnessing cutting-edge printing technology to create bands to help make wearing face masks more comfortable for healthcare workers in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Utilising the Library's 3D printer that was a vital part of the creation of the LABrary, Council staff have "printed" and donated more than 50 ear guards – a piece of plastic that stretches across the back of the head and secures the two mask straps, alleviating pressure on ears.
"This crisis has strengthened Singleton Council's purpose and encouraged us to think outside the square in the delivery of services in this new era of social distancing and isolation," said Anthony Egan, Council's Director Business and Community Services.
"We are really pleased to be able to provide this service to our local frontline health staff." Mr Egan said Council was also working hard to support the community by continuing to provide essential services as normally as possible – in keeping with government advice and regulations – and the community was responding to new and innovative ways to connect with Council.
"A particular example is the Library's first home delivery service. We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of staff who continue to provide the services people need and we thank our customers for their patience and understanding in these extraordinary circumstances," he said.

The Cumberland Youth Commission would like to invite everyone to donate to their toiletry drive. This drive has been organized by the CYC, which works to promote leadership amongst local teens and children.
This toiletry drive was the idea of the members who are working hard to make it a success. The CYC works with the Mayor, Town Council, and the Director of the OCYL to help get kids involved in local civics and enrich the lives of the community.
The CYC is collecting toiletry donations in order to create bags they can hand out to the homeless. These bags will provide basic needs for the less fortunate neighbors. They would love to create as many bags as possible so they can give to as many people in need as possible.
The final day for donations is May 5th. Thank you for your time and your kind donations to help those less fortunate and in need.

Parliamentary Committee launches Inquiry to 'tackle Gypsy, Roma and Traveller inequalities' – call for evidence.
A Parliamentary Committee has just announced a far-reaching Inquiry into the inequalities faced by the UK's Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) people.
Following a meeting with GRT campaigners and policy workers, the Women and Equalities Committee announce the Inquiry on the 24th November last week.
Maria Miller, who heads the Parliamentary committee, said:
"Gypsies, Roma and Travellers experience poorer health, under achieve at school and can find it difficult to access public services. We have launched this inquiry to look at the effectiveness of policymaking and what action the Government can take to tackle these and other inequalities. The committee is particularly keen to hear directly from Gypsies, Roma and Travellers about their own experiences."
The committee added in a statement that GRT men, women and children "face high levels of hostility and discrimination, with GRT children particularly vulnerable to bullying in school."
The committee is asking for GRT support groups and individual campaigners to respond with evidence for the Inquiry 'Tackling inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities', with the deadline for submissions on Friday 27th January.
In 2012 a ministerial working group published 28 commitments to tackle inequalities faced by Gypsies and Travellers. The inquiry will look again at these commitments and the progress made by the Government in achieving them. GRT campaigner claim that no progress has been made and that the working group only met once.
The inquiry committee noted that although 'the educational attainment of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children in England has improved in recent years, the attainment gap for Gypsy and Roma children has widened, while the gap between Travellers of Irish heritage and white pupils has remained unchanged.'
Only one in five Gypsy and Roma children and fewer than one in three Traveller children achieve 'a good level of development' in their early years, compared to six out of ten other white children.
A lower proportion of Gypsy and Roma children (13.8%) and Traveller children (17.5%) achieved the GCSE threshold in 2012-13, compared to 60% of other white children, they added.
The committee also stated that compared with the general population, Gypsies and Travellers are more likely to suffer bad health. This includes higher infant and maternal mortality rates, low child immunisation levels, higher prevalence of anxiety and depression, chronic cough or bronchitis (even after smoking is taken into account), asthma, chest pain and diabetes in comparison to the general population.
'Many Gypsies and Travellers remain unregistered with GPs,' they said.
There is also emerging evidence, stated the committee, that health inequalities of Roma people are similar to those identified among Gypsies and Travellers. Poor familiarity with healthcare provisions and language barriers may make it difficult to access health services.
The inquiry will also be examining 'hostility and harassment' that is a daily fact of life for many GRT people.
The committee stated that according to the Spring 2014 Global Attitudes Survey, 50% of people in Britain reported having an unfavourable view of Roma;
Discrimination and harassment of Gypsies Roma and Travellers is common across Britain, including by police and other authorities;
A survey of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers undertaken by the Traveller Movement earlier this year found that 98% of respondents had experienced discrimination and 81% hate crime or hate speech. The survey also reported that 77% hide their ethnicity as a defence mechanism against discrimination and persecution and as a means of securing employment.
The Committee is now seeking written evidence on the following issues:
What progress has been made in achieving the commitments of the Ministerial Working Group on tackling inequalities experienced by Gypsies and Travellers?
Have these commitments delivered a tangible improvement in the position of Gypsy and Traveller communities?
How well has this work been led, managed and monitored across Government? Has sufficient funding been provided, and has adequate funding been identified for the future?
What mechanisms have been put in place to achieve the Ministerial Working Group's commitments and other policy aims for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities?
Is adequate data available to underpin policy-making? Where are the most significant gaps in the evidence base, and what are the reasons for those gaps?
How effectively has policy taken into account the diverse needs of different Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and a developing context including greater use of social media?
How effective are mechanisms for engagement and dialogue between national and local policy-makers and members of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities?
In what areas of public life are inequalities against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities evident? How do these affect access to services, outcomes and life chances for people in those communities? How well are these reflected in policy priorities?
Are there particular challenges faced by groups within GRT communities, for example women and LGB&T people?
To send a written submission to the 'tackling inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities' inquiry, please follow this link to the inquiry page on the Parliamentary website.
The deadline for written submissions is Friday 27 January 2017.

Mexican design firm Anagrama, specializing in identity and brand consulting, rebranded the boutique print shop Micheline, from their logo and packaging to the interior of their shop. In order to express uniqueness, elegance and modernity and keep the flavor of the mid 70s when Micheline was founded, Anagrama played up the 1975 year typographically in the decor as well as through the furniture and lighting selections. The color palette was kept neutral to contrast with the bright colors of the card catalogues and papers. Nicely done!

Cephalonia-the "other" Greek Isles. The latter quickly come to mind as Santorini and Mykonos off Greece's eastern shores. However, I was intrigued when a friend from Athens told me about the islands to the west of the Greek peninsula, the largest of which is Cephalonia. Besides sunshine and beaches, it offers an historic past and even caves to explore.
European River Cruises including France. I highly recommend river cruises if you can book with no single supplement. (Please note those slots are always limited so don't delay.) If you compare included meals, tours and accommodations, the pricing is very competitive with typically loftier western European options. Secondly, especially for first time solo travelers, it affords an opportunity for privacy but with a ready-made group for tours and meals. Lastly, if security is a concern, a river cruise allows you to avoid being alone in a new foreign city after dark looking for dinner.

I have some exciting news to share. Recently I was contacted by the Editor-in-Chief of the Cincinnati Defender, an online newspaper. The Editor had read one of my book reviews. She invited me to contribute book reviews to her publication. The site receives over 80,000 unique visits a month. So, this is a great opportunity to spread the word about my bookstore. I accepted the invitation and now I am the Book Reviews Editor for the Cincinnati Defender. You can read my bi-weekly book reviews column at http://www.cincinnatidefender.com/.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. The list goes on. We've all heard the buzz about "social media." All the talk leads many to wonder, "How can I benefit from social media?" As an entrepreneur, I wondered the same. I was especially interested in how social media could help me grow my business. Odutoye does a great job explaining how to do just that.
In order to really benefit from social media, you have to do more than just sign up for an account. This is a fact that most people realize. But what do you do next? Odutoye outlines the crucial next steps. First, this book helps entrepreneurs to set goals they would like to achieve through social media. Next, it's time to choose which social networking site would work best for them so that they can maximize their time. It also helps business owners to connect with their target audience.
I found this book to be extremely helpful. It is concise, easy to read, and very informative. I especially appreciated the FAQs and the Appendix. Odutoye discusses some very common questions about social media such as, "What is social media?" This section provides a review of the topics discussed in the book. The Appendix contains very valuable tools that can be used for social media marketing.
I would recommend that every business owner read this book. After I read it, I realized how important social media marketing is in business. Everyone should be using social media effectively and this book will certainly help to accomplish that goal. More information on this book can be found at www.talksocialnetworking.com.

Q: Jest test error: ...subscribe is not a function I'm using Jest to test my Angular app (using Nx workspaces). I have a component that uses a service that I'm trying to mock. Here's the code:
myDummyService.permissions$.subscribe(permission => return // whatever);

In my test I mock the service like this:
myDummyServiceMock = {permissions$: jest.fn()}

But when the test runs and the constructor is invoked I get the following error:
`myDummyService.permissions$.subscribe is not a function`

I can't mock the subscribe function, so how can I get around this error? I tried this but I don't think it's right:
myDummyServiceMock = {permissions$: jest.fn(), subscribe: jest.fn()}

And if I do this then it works, but is it bad form?
myDummyServiceMock = {permissions$: of(true)}

A: first of all permission$ is a property, not a function, secondly, it should be an observable. Therefore it should be defined properly, for example with help of EMPTY from rxjs.
myDummyServiceMock = {permissions$: EMPTY};

Now it has subscribe, pipe and other methods.
If you want to manipulate its emits, you can use a Subject instance instead of EMPTY.

In good news for those seeking employment in this role, the federal government's Job Outlook website predicts stable jobs growth for medical receptionists in the five years to May 2022, with an estimated 107,000 individual vacancies opening over this timeframe. However, the total number of workers in this role will fall slightly from 157,100 to 156,300, largely as a result of natural attrition amongst older workers and those moving on to other positions within healthcare. Yet with Australia's population growing at a rate few could have imagined in the past, combined with the booming conditions in our healthcare sector – there's plenty of upside potential.
Becoming a medical receptionist in Australia typically requires successful completion of your high school education (Year 12), followed by a tertiary level qualification – most commonly a Certificate II or III. Common degrees which can lead to employment in this field include the Certificate III in Business Administration (Medical) from TAFE NSW or for those looking to move up to a similar role with more responsibility, a Diploma of Practice Management from Holmesglen Institute of TAFE should suffice. Having gained valuable experience, pathways may be cleared into related roles, including Practice Managers, Officer Managers and Personal Medical Assistants.

Q: How to run a command once inside a FOR loop using SqlTransaction in SQL Server I'm inserting rows from a DataGridview to three database tables using SqlTransaction with FOR loop and I want to insert reference of transaction in one table only once.
How can I do that?
I tried to declare bool flag = false; variable then inside FOR loop I have used
if(flag == false)
{
   .......
   flag == true;
}

However it did not help, because cmd3.ExecuteNon() is not working in either case if I declare SqlCommand cmd3; before FOR and instantiate inside IF statement or if I declare and instantiate inside IF statement.
string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["PRMSConnectionString"].ToString();

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs);

SqlTransaction objTransaction;
SqlCommand cmd3;

bool flag = false;

for (int i = 0; i < dgv_Purchase.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
    con.Open();
    objTransaction = con.BeginTransaction();
    //**************************Command 1 Code*******************
    string query1 = "INSERT ......";
    SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(query1, con, objTransaction);

    //***************************Command 2 Code*******************
    string query2 = "INSERT .....";
    SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(query2, con, objTransaction);

    //****************************Command 3 Code*******************
    if (flag == false)
    {
        string query3 = "INSERT. ......";
        cmd3 = new SqlCommand(query3, con, objTransaction);
        flag = true;
    }

    try
    {
        cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
        cmd3.ExecuteNonQuery();
        objTransaction.Commit();
        lblSF.Text = "Success!";
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Exception " + ex);
        objTransaction.Rollback();
        lblSF.Text = "Failed!";
        return false;
    }
    finally
    {
        con.Close();
    }
}

A: If I unnderstand correctly your question, you want query3 only on the first cycle of the for loop, and only after both query1 and query2 have been executed.
If that's the case, just execute both cmd1 and cmd2 first, and then move the execution of cmd3 inside the if where you declare it.
string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["PRMSConnectionString"].ToString();
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs);
SqlTransaction objTransaction;
bool flag = false;

for (int i = 0; i < dgv_Purchase.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
    con.Open();
    objTransaction = con.BeginTransaction();
    //**************************Command 1 Code*******************
    string query1 = "INSERT ......";
    SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(query1, con, objTransaction);

    //***************************Command 2 Code*******************
    string query2 = "INSERT .....";
    SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(query2, con, objTransaction);
    //****************************Command 3 Code*******************
    try
    {
        cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
        if (flag==false)
        {
            string query3 = "INSERT. ......";
            SqlCommand cmd3 = new SqlCommand(query3, con, objTransaction);
            cmd3.ExecuteNonQuery();
            flag = true;
        }
        objTransaction.Commit();
        lblSF.Text = "Success!";
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

        MessageBox.Show("Exception " + ex);
        objTransaction.Rollback();
        lblSF.Text = "Failed!";
        return false;
    }
    finally
    {
        con.Close();
    }

Marcel Sembat je nepřestupní stanice pařížského metra na lince 9. Nachází se mimo hranice Paříže na území města Boulogne-Billancourt pod náměstím Place Marcel-Sembat, které tvoří rozsáhlou křižovatku, kde se střetává osm ulic.

Historie
Stanice byla otevřena 3. února 1934, kdy došlo k rozšíření linky od Porte de Saint-Cloud do dnešní konečné Pont de Sèvres.

Některé vlaky z Pont de Sèvres projíždějí bez zastavení stanicí, když se vracejí do depa ve stanici Porte de Saint-Cloud ležící za ní, což vyvolává jisté zmatení u cestujících na nástupišti.

Název
Jméno stanice je odvozeno od názvu náměstí Place Marcel Sembat. Marcel Sembat (1862-1922) byl novinář a socialistický poslanec za 18. obvod od roku 1893 do své smrti a ministr veřejných prací v letech 1914-1916.

Vstupy
Stanice má sedm vchodů a východů, které vedou na:
 Avenue Victor Hugo
 Place Marcel Sembat
 Avenue Edouard Vaillant
 Rue des Quatre Cheminées
 Avenue André Morizet
 Rue Rieux
 Rue Danjou

Amanda Lee Myers and Tom Foreman Jr.
BALTIMORE -- In the clearest acknowledgement of failure yet, Baltimore police said Friday that Freddie Gray should have received medical attention at the spot where he was arrested -- before he was put inside a police van.
Officers missed "multiple" opportunities to give him medical attention and once inside the van, Gray should've been buckled into a seat belt. The department's acknowledgement came at a news conference after a week of intense scrutiny and near-daily demonstrations over what protesters say is police mistreatment of blacks in Baltimore and throughout the country.
Gray was taken into custody April 12 and at some point -- either during his arrest or inside the van -- he suffered a mysterious spinal injury. Authorities have not explained how or when it occurred. Six officers have been suspended with pay.
Commissioner Anthony Batts said it was possible Gray was injured before the van ride, but also possible he suffered in a "rough ride" -- where officers hit the brakes and take sharp turns to injure suspects in the back of vans.
Gray, who is black, was arrested after he made eye contact with officers and ran away, police said. Officers held him down, handcuffed him and loaded him into a police van. While inside, he became irate and leg cuffs were put on him, police have said.
Gray was not buckled in, a violation of the police department's policy.
Gray asked for medical help several times, and after a 30-minute ride that included three stops, paramedics were called.
"We know he was not buckled in the transportation wagon as he should have been. There's no excuse for that, period," Batts said. "We know our police employees failed to give him medical attention in a timely manner multiple times."
Deputy police commissioner Kevin Davis said Friday that Gray should have received medical attention at the spot of his arrest. Bystander video shows Gray screaming as officers carried him to the van, his legs appearing limp.
Batts said the investigation is being refined and the picture is getting "sharper and sharper." He did not elaborate.
As for some calls for his resignation, he said: "That's not going to happen."
Protesters promised their biggest march Saturday, when they would try to "shut down" the city.
The president of a black lawyers' group predicted thousands of people would turn out, when good weather is forecast and the Baltimore Orioles host the Boston Red Sox.
"Things will change on Saturday, and the struggle will be amplified," said Malik Shabazz of Black Lawyers for Justice.
Shabazz rejected the notion that he was an outside agitator who would stir up trouble.
The mayor thanked protesters for being peaceful so far and urged calm.
"I will not deny that here in Baltimore we have had a very long and complicated history on issues such as these," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said. "But it's important to remember that we have an equally long history of peaceful and legal protest."
She expects the results of the investigation to be turned over to prosecutors in a week, and they will decide whether any criminal charges will be filed. There is no timetable for when that will. Police said prosecutors will likely ask them to do more investigating.
Asked if Gray's possible "rough ride" is a one-off, the mayor said: "It's clearly not a one-off."
"The reason we have the policy around seat belts in the police vans is because of an incident that happened previously," she said, referring to Dondi Johnson. He died of a fractured spine in 2005 after he was arrested for urinating in public and transported without a seat belt, with his hands cuffed behind his back.
The leader of a group of local ministers called on Batts to resign immediately.
"It seems that no one in the police department can explain what happened," said the Rev. Alvin Gwynn Sr., president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Baltimore.
He said the police department is "in disarray" and Batts has shown a "lack of viable leadership capabilities."
The mayor appeared to back the police commissioner at her own news conference, and Batts defended his record, saying he was brought on in 2012 to reform the department. Since then, he has fired 50 employees and reduced the number of officer-involved shootings and excessive force complaints.
The Rev. Frank Reid of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, who met with Rawlings-Blake on Friday, said he wants to believe the police department's investigation will be transparent.
"I want to take them at their word but the purpose of being here today is to not only to let the city know but the police department know that we're going to hold them accountable," Reid said. "This is not going to go away ... Business as usual is no longer acceptable. This is all too frequent. It's a historic issue and we want to stop it now."


My dad is a specialty commercial insurance agent, and deals with a wide variety of companies, including many trucking companies or companies that run heavy trucks as part of their business. I worked as an intern there over the summer. On my last day of work, we received news that an old man in a pickup truck had run a stop sign in front of his client's over-the-road semi and been killed. This week, another client had a truck involved in a fatal accident. The 20 year-old driver of a fully loaded cement mixer made a sharp turn and tipped the truck onto a car waiting at the light. Both young men in the car were killed instantly. Now, I do not want to rush to any conclusions, nor do my dad or his partner who is the actual agent of record for this account. However, it would certainly seem that speed played some factor in this crash. Clearly whatever occurred, it was an honest and tragic error. However, without wishing to be accused of age discrimination, I do believe that having a 20 year old behind the wheel of a fully loaded cement mixer is a bad idea. In Nebraska, you only need to be 18 for a local (non-interstate) CDL, so this guy was driving the truck legally. However, I personally think this is a case of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." In my mind, driving this specific type of incredibly large and unusually top-heavy vehicle should be a job for more experienced drivers. But that's just, like, my opinion.
A deadly crash in La Vista remains under investigation Friday.


Space tourist-to-be Daisuke "Dice-K" Enomoto of Japan sits inside a Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft simulator. Enomoto is set to ride the Soyuz TMA-9 spacecraft to the International Space Station in September with the Expedition 14 crew.
Japan'sfirst tourist slated to fly in Earth orbit has received a clean bill ofhealth from Russia's Federal Space Agency to train for a planned September spaceflight, theSpace Adventures tourism firm said Monday.
Russia'sGovernment Medical Committee found Daisuke "Dice-K"Enomoto, a 34-year-old Japanese entrepreneur, fit for training and the finalcontract for his 10-day spaceflight has been signed, according to the Arlington,Virginia-based Space Adventures, which brokered the trip.
Enomoto istaking Russian language courses and is immersed in the first phase of hiscosmonaut training, Space Adventures spokesperson Stacey Tearne told SPACE.com.Of his 10 days in Earth orbit, about eight of them will be aboard theInternational Space Station (ISS), she added.
Slated tolaunch toward the ISS this September with the station's Expedition 14 crew,Enomoto is the fourth paying visitor bound for Earth orbit. His planned flightfollows the ground-breaking launch of U.S. entrepreneur Dennis Tito in 2001, South African Mark Shuttleworth's 2002 spaceflight, and the2005 mission of U.S. scientist and businessman GregoryOlsen.
SpaceAdventures helped arrange all three of the previous flights, each with a reportedprice of about $20 million, aboard Russia's robust, three-person Soyuz TMAspacecraft. Enomoto and the Expedition 14 crew will launch aboard the SoyuzTMA-9 vehicle, the space tourism firm said.
"We lookforward to his launch in September when his dream of spaceflight will berealized and we hope and trust that he will be an inspirationto others around the world to pursue their own dreams of spaceflight," saidEric Anderson, Space Adventures CEO, of Enomoto in a statement.
Enomotocurrently resides in Hong Kong and works as an independent investor. He previouslyserved as executive vice president and chief strategic officer for theinformation technology firm Livedoor, and founded the website DICE-K.com.
In additionto brokering orbital space treks with wealthy individuals, Space Adventuresalso offers airplane flights that simulate weightlessness and rides aboardRussian MiG jets. The firm has also announced plans to offer $100 millionflights to circle theMoon, as well its intentions to construct a fleet of suborbital rocketshipsfor launch from future spaceports in Singaporeand the UnitedArab Emirates.

Olivier Umecker is a graphic designer and typographer, but most of all a creative artist and a researcher.
Some of his main passions are : poetry and asian art, he draws inspiration of what he calls the "brevity of tiny joys" wich Haiku characterize.
Umecker expresses himself with diversed supports, exploring many techniques with gouache, ink and his collection of calligraphy brushes or pencils.
From his black Chinese ink series to his stained compositions in which each color seems to communicate : his relationship to signs is visible.
He explores this abstract universe of multiple forms in which each space makes sens. An infinite construction, like a symphony in which colours and materials are setting the tempo and harmonize by a line or a dot.
Born in Strabourg in 1974, Olivier Umecker lives and works in Roubaix.
He got his graduate of Graphic Communication from the HEAR in 1999.
Since 2000, he is artistic director for cultural institutions and publisher.


We've all worn many hats in our time, but Andy Merricks has tried out so many, he must be running out of space in his wardrobe. Once upon a time he was a PE teacher, trying to convince reluctant students about the joys of exercise. He's also been an insurance salesman, a partner in an IFA company, and resident money doctor for What Investment magazine. Perhaps most impressively of all, in 2002 he somehow found time to write a song that secured second place in the Radio 5 Live Unofficial World Cup song list.
Today he is both a fund manager and Head of Investment at Skerritts Wealth Management. He has become a go-to expert for the media on investments, being quoted regularly in national publications and on TV.
At our April breakfast, he will be talking about his journey and adding his thoughts on the current state of investment markets and the world economy.
So grab your hat (and perhaps an umbrella – it is April after all) and join us there.

Rustenburg: the most important platinum mines in the world
in South Africa 910 Views
Rustenburg is a city in the North West province located 100 km north west of Johannesburg. The city is located at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range, on the Highveld Plateau at a height of 1,170 masl. The city has just over one hundred thousand inhabitants, but its metropolitan area exceeds five hundred thousand inhabitants.
Founded in 1851 by Boer settlers, Rustenburg is one of the oldest settlements in northern South Africa. Here the president of the Boer republic of Transvaal, Paul Kruger, also lived for a certain period of time. Today his farm called Boekenhoutfontein is a museum dedicated to him, the Paul Kruger Country Museum.
Rustenburg is an important mining town home to the two most important platinum mines in the world. Here is also the largest platinum refinery in the world, which processes around 70% of the world's platinum.
Rustenburg can be used as a base for exploring the places where important battles of the Anglo-Boer War took place. The most important attractions, however, are the nearby nature reserves of Kgaswane Game Reserve, Madikwe Game Reserve, Groot Marico Park and Pilanesberg Game Reserve.
Finally, other popular attractions are the entertainment cities of Sun City and Lost City. Here you will find casinos, golf courses and luxury resorts, set in a picturesque valley in the Pilanesberg mountains.

Digital communication relies on good storytelling. The key to creating a story that captivates readers and keeps them engaged requires research into who your audience is and listening to what they are interested in. Many aspects of who you are writing for need to be considered when choosing your words. All demographics including age, gender, education, income and personal interests among others must be considered. It is also important to write in the positive voice, keep it simple and use your own personality to give life to your story rather than trying to write in a way that you think someone else would have.
Listening is also very important. Monitoring what conversations are taking place on social media and filtering out the noise is important in order to know what to write about and to be prepared for the responses to your story. Knowing that a topic is important to a specific community is not enough. You need to know how they are responding to it and what their point of view is otherwise, you could alienate the group that you were trying to connect with.
Storytelling is so important when creating great digital content because it creates a bond between the audience and the brand (storyteller). It helps to create a connection and keeps us coming back for more. I hope to create stories that cause people to reflect and create conversations. What kind of stories do you want to tell?
COM0014 Blog #6 – Do People Know Your Story?
Since 2007, Airbnb's have become a popular option for travelers who don't want to spend all of their get away budget on accommodations and for those who may want a little more of a personal touch than a hotel can offer. The idea of offering the personal touches that only a private home can offer has become very popular and very well accepted by travelers.
However, legislation has recently been introduced in many cities worldwide that prevents homeowners from turning their properties into full-time vacation rentals. They must register with their city and pay a fee in order to be hosts and can only rent out their property for a maximum of 90 nights a year when they are not living in it. The issue is that Airbnb hosts can still advertise their properties as available even thought their registration has not yet been approved. This creates the risk that customers who have not only paid for their rental but potential also other travel expenses, will receive notification that their rental has been cancelled only days before their vacation is to begin.
As stated in an article by The Guardian, a couple rented a home in San Francisco through Airbnb and paid for their travel. Days before their vacation was about to begin, they received an email from Airbnb that their booking had been cancelled due to a change in legislation. While their booking was refunded, the transportation costs were not and they had to either find other accommodations last-minute or suffer the penalties of changing their flight.
The Airbnb industry relies on its customers to repeat their business and to share their great experiences with potential customers. Airbnb's greatest flaw is communication and it is an issue that could cost them dearly. Customers should be aware that the property they are considering still needs to qualify for licensing. Transparency is so important in customer service! It could also put a little pressure on owners to work harder to complete their application. Additionally, in the hopes of promoting return customers, Airbnb should give the full story and offer other rental listings in the area when one must suddenly be cancelled.
Customer service should always be a primary concern for businesses; especially at a time when opinions can be shared so easily and instantaneously on social media; don't you think?
I am an entrepreneurial mom, project manager and believer in working hard. The personal qualities that set me apart from the others include my project planning skills, my competitive nature and my team spirit.
When a task needs to be completed, I like nothing better than to plan out all of the steps needed to have it done as properly and efficiently as possible. My current work as a project control manager in the federal government gives me a lot of opportunity to practice this skill. I believe that the easiest way to understand any new task or project is to spell it out all of the required steps with subject matter experts. Why reinvent something when it's been done before!
I am a competitive person although I've never really competed in a sport. I do like to complete tasks as proficiently and accurately as possible though and I'd prefer to be known as the subject matter expert than one of the many. When I graduated from university I was so pleased that I was finally done with school and could move on to the next chapter of my life, the business world. I was sure that the only time that I would step into a school again would be for the kids that I planned to have. Well that was almost 30 years ago! I tried to deny it and pretend that I would learn on the job but soon enough I realized that that's just not reality anymore. The competition is fierce and they are going to school! It's not enough to get one degree anymore. In order to be the best you must constantly be updating your skills! The Social Media program that I am currently taking and the Project Management certification that I will get next are what will help me stand out for now.
Team spirit is so important when working with others. Even if you don't need constant help from others to reach your goals, you do need assistance at some point. Why not create the alliance from the start. I believe in building relationships and being true to my word so that when I need help, I have an alliance to draw from and if I need to go to someone I've never met before, my reputation stands for itself.
I am always trying to do my best and build on my reputation. I once receive 360 degrees feedback and was surprised to hear that people found me very strong-willed. Since then, I have worked hard to put myself in other people's shoes and foster positive relationships. I make sure to always look people in the eye, speak with a positive tone, remember that I am part of a team and strive for results!
Today, my colleague would say that my best trait is my drive to get things done. Some might say that I am stubborn but I prefer to think of it as a quality. I work really hard to make each aspect of a project work and have each task completed as efficiently and accurately as possible. I work with others to find creative solutions when necessary. I have been told and agree that there is no I in "team" and without a group of people working together to achieve success, it is often very hard to find don`t you think?
Airbnb has become a popular option for travelers who don't want to spend all of their get away budget on accommodations and may want a little more of a personal touch than a hotel can offer. The concept was born in 2007 when roommates Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia offered travelers three air mattresses and a homemade breakfast in the living room of their San Francisco apartment. According to Stastista.com, it has since then grown to a value of 38 billion U.S. dollars and has listings for over four million properties in over 65,000 cities around the world.
This great success is partially due to Airbnb's great use of social media for marketing. They use video marketing to tell their brand and product story. They have created approximately 500 videos on YouTube with over 100 million views. The videos show some of their customers enjoying different rental properties in a variety of locations. Some are even narrated by customers who explain how wonderful their stay was.
Airbnb uses Instagram to share photos. They ask satisfied customers, especially travel influencers, to post pictures of their stay on Instagram and to include #airbnb. The company then shares these photos showing the beautiful parts of the world that others could experience with an Airbnb rental. They also include a link to make it easy for viewers to book that exact location for their next vacation. There are over 1.8 million photos using #airbnb on Instagram. The company uses Instagram Stories to market "Experiences on Airbnb". They use 15-second videos to show the unique and exciting experiences that are being offered by some of their hosts like hiking and canoeing or exploring catacombs. The videos were shot in a vertical format so that they are easy to view on a phone. This was a successful venture for Airbnb. They achieved a 13-point lift in ad recall and caused more people to select Airbnb as the platform for their next travel experience according to Instagram Business.
Airbnb also uses Twitter to engage with customers who shared their Airbnb experiences. They use the network to respond to customer service inquiries quickly. Customers can reach our to the company at airbnbhelp and get assistance no matter where they are.
Airbnb is a company that is using social media to their advantage by using video marketing on YouTube and pictures of their clients great vacations and experiences on Instagram to define themselves as a great company that offers excellent accommodations and experiences. They also use Twitter to speak with customers and complete customer service inquiries.
Airbnb's have become a popular option for travelers who don't want to spend all of their get away budget on accommodations and for those who may want a little more of a personal touch than a hotel can offer. I am new to the Airbnb rental world. I currently rent out residential properties but am interested in merging into this type of a venture. First though, I need to do a little research. I am going to start a blog about operating an Airbnb. It will include information about the types of units to consider, location, financial requirements and how to get started. I will also ask for tips on how to become an Airbnb Super-host.
My blog should attract the interest of Airbnb owners and others who are interested in learning about the business. Based on my research on Twitter Search and on Facebook, most owners are 50+ years of age and according to @AirbnbCitizen, 58% of Canadian owners are female. This seems to be true as less than 20% of the target audience that I found in my research were male. Most of them appear to be white and even though this is an international business, most of those that I found are American. Some are married but the majority did not provide this information even after searching on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. In previous research, I have found that a portion of the Airbnb operator demographic includes young adults hoping to rent the couch in their living room or a room in their house but I did not find any of their posts.
They are all entrepreneurs who often run more than one business and have a passion for travel. They have visited many parts of the world and want to offer the opportunity for others to see their hometown. They appear to be at least middle class with some disposable income since they travel.
I will attract the correct demographic by providing research on the value of owning and operating an Airbnb business. I will also use Facebook and LinkedIn to promote my blog since according to Statistica.com, the 50+ age group is predominantly on these platforms and they are also the most popular networks for entrepreneurs and the self-employed in Canada.
Do you have best practices for writing stories? A few that I think are important include pre-planning, prioritizing, using an active voice, reviewing and practice.
It is important for an author to first know what their goal is. Are they informing the audience of something new or trying to convince them to complete an action? The tone chosen is very different when they are trying to convince someone to vote for them versus describing a favorite vacation spot. Once they have decided, they can clearly convey it in their composition. The author should also decide how the story will end before composing it so that they are clear and concise. People are busy. Many often just skim a story looking for the important parts. If they have to stop everything else that they are doing to find the most important part, they will likely give up and move on to something else. For that reason, it is important to use the inverted triangle approach and put the most important part of a story in the first paragraph. The other paragraphs can contained the details that compliment the story.
Using an active voice with proper spelling and grammar makes the story clearer and more interesting not to mention more accepting to most audiences. It is much harder to believe in the value of an article and for it to be considered professional or useful when it is full of spelling and grammar mistakes. Many are very common mistakes that can be avoided. There are several articles that can be referred to for a list of them. The one shared in our class reading was by ZDnet: 20 more writing mistakes that make you look stupid. Sometimes when reviewing quietly a person might read what they want to see instead of what is actually there so it is also a good idea to have someone else review the piece before publishing it.
The only way for anyone to get better at doing something is through practice. Just like a gymnast has to spend hours at the gym repeating their routine over and over again, an author has to practice writing stories and review each one several times before deciding that it is ready to publish. What are your thoughts?
COM0014 – Blog #1: Another great family vacation!
My last vacation was in the spring of 2018. My husband and I, along with our two amazing kids (an 11 girl and 9 year-old boy), went to the Verandah Resort in Antigua for two fantastic weeks. Verandah is a family friendly all-inclusive resort with guest condominiums, a beautiful private beach, swimming pools, restaurants, great staff and all kinds of activities. We've been there a few times and I love it because it is such a safe and fun environment for everyone!
Most mornings, I got up first and went down to the beach to put our towels on beach chairs for later. Then we all went for breakfast at the buffet restaurant where there were so many choices. My kids discovered smoothies for the first time, and every morning, selected different fruits and yogurts to complete their concoction. Before heading to the beach, we always stopped at the kids club to see what activities were taking place that afternoon or evening. Movie night for the kids meant a quiet late dinner for mommy and daddy!
We spent most days at the beach because there was so much to do! It's a private beach in a nice calm bay with a lot of staff so it's very safe for the kids to be walking around and making new friends. Obviously we swam a lot, but there was also a lot of water sports equipment available at no extra charge. The kids loved using the snorkeling gear to investigate the marine life and catch whatever they could find with the other kids that they met.
I tackled windsurfing, and I have to admit that it had been many years since the days I had spent on my board on the lake at my grandparents cottage.
Somehow, I recall it being much less windy and the waves much smaller there! I can't remember ever worrying about going too fast or going too far out on the lake! I think I did okay though. My sail never stayed out of the water for very long but I managed to stay on the board! My husband also got well acquainted with the paddle boards and the catamarans. He even took us out for a sail.
At lunch time we usually went to the beach bar and grill. My son loves hot dogs and this was the only restaurant on the resort that served them.
The afternoons were also spent at the beach, where cat naps were had and many sand castles were built. The kids even dug out large enclosures for the hermit crabs that they caught.
After dinner many of the guests sat at the tables by the outdoor bar. There was room for the kids to play with their friends in the grass and there was usually a live band or some other entertainment.
One day, instead of going to the beach we took a tour of some of the sights on the island with the Pink Panther Safari Company. It's an all female company and the guides drive pink Land Rovers. We had a lot of fun exploring many sights and hearing all kinds of stories from our guides. The tour ended with a swim and some very good rum punch for the adults!
What a great vacation! It's so nice to end a vacation feeling like everything was perfect. If you're thinking of a family vacation a little outside of the ordinary, I would recommend checking out the Verandah Resort in Antigua.

The concept was born in 2007 when roommates Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia offered three air mattresses and homemade breakfast to travellers in the living room of their San Francisco apartment. The following year, Nathan Blecharczyk joined the team and they launched the website Airbedandbreakfast.com. The idea of enjoying the personal touches that only a private home can offer was so popular that by 2011, the company opened it's first european office in Hamburg, Germany. According to Statista.com, by May 2017 the revenue generated by the company Airbnb was valued at 31 billion U.S. dollars. It now has listings for over three million properties in over 65,000 cities around the world. If you are looking for extra income and have the available space to rent, this good work for you.

Social media has become such a powerful medium to share information quickly and vastly that it can greatly impact your professional and personal reputation in an instant.
Your actions on social media are a reflection of your personal brand. It's important to consider the implications of what you are posting because as soon as you hit enter you can't take it back. Sharing pictures of memorable events is very common but they are each worth a thousand words as they say. Consider how they impact the image that you are portraying to friends and family and maybe more importantly to potential employers and associates. Pictures should not include alcoholic beverages and should depict events that you would be proud to show anyone (even your mother).
The same is true of everything that you write on social media. The rule of thumb should always be to read it twice and edit before hitting post. Think of what others who may not be aware of the circumstances surrounding your post may think and remember that they can not see the expression on your face or hear the intonation of your voice as they are reading your words. According to a Career Builder 2017 survey, 70% of employers are screening candidates through social media before deciding to hire them. Number of Employers Using Social Media to Screen Candidates at All-Time High, Finds Latest CareerBuilder Study. They are looking for information that supports the claims made on the applicants resume, their professionalism, what others are saying about them as well as any red flags. If their social media accounts create an image of a person who does not demonstrate the company's values, they won't move forward with that person.
Whether its pictures of a crazy weekend with drunken friends, personal opinions about others or political rants no matter how regretful you are about having made the post, they can't be deleted. These types of posts can ruin your reputation and potentially your career. There have been many instances where people have lost their jobs because of a picture or a statement that they posted. Most recently, Roseanne Barr not only lost her job but also the jobs of all the cast and crew on the Roseanne sitcom because of the racist tweet that she made about someone. Within hours of her post, ABC had cancelled her show and her reputation for being impetuous and provocative among other things was sealed.
With all of the tools that we have to connect with friends and family today, is our society becoming less social?
When I took the bus to go to school many years ago, I often struck up a conversation with the person next to me and shared thoughts and experiences. I talked to the people around me when I got to school and at the end of the day, I made plans with my friends or spent hours talking on the phone with some of them. Today, when I get up in the morning to get ready for work, I shower, get dressed and then check Facebook to see what any of my friends have posted while my coffee is brewing. While I wait for my bus and during my ride, like everyone else, I stare at my phone. I learn about what is going on in the lives of my connections and give my opinion on some of it. But is that being social?
When I go to the coffee shop during my break, many people are sitting together but they are scrolling through posts or thumb typing to someone else. Is this the new art of conversation? Could we be missing out on something if it is? "87 percent of millennials admitted to missing out on a conversation because they were distracted by their phone. Meanwhile, 54 percent said they experience a fear of missing out if not checking social networks." Social Media Making Mellenials Less Social: Study, Uptin Saiidi, CNBC.
The definition of being social according to the Cambridge dictionary is "relating to activities in which you meet and spend time with other people." Social media doesn't help with that at all unless it is being used to plan for those activities or invite others. In doing research for this blog post, I found several articles that stated that while the use of social media is increasing, most extroverts do not go out with others (socialize) less because of it. However, it also doesn't help those less comfortable in groups to improve those skills. Anxiety is one of the most reported psychological disabilities in young adults today and the numbers are increasing. "Social media may allow those with social anxiety to facilitate avoidant coping strategies and increase social isolation." http://sites.psu.edu/aspsy/2018/02/07/are-we-really-socializing/comment-page-1/ It's so important to be pushed out of your comfort zone and realize that you can still make your point and be listened to.
I think that social media is a great tool for keeping up to date with friends and whatever else is most important to us but it can never replace the value of face-to-face interactions. Learning to be able to think on your feet, look at people directly and calmly make a point is not easy. It's a skill learned through practicing and while social media may be a great tool for so many things, it may also cost us in the art of socializing. Hopefully a happy medium can be found!

Grace is foundational. Without it our entire relationship with God crumbles out of existence.
Grace is what allows us to come to our Perfect God as Imperfect people. Grace is what allows us to feel His presence and to have his spirit living inside of us. Grace is what allows me to get up in the morning and start each day with a clean slate, sometimes, each hour. Grace is how God can interact and relate with us while He continues to transform us into what we were meant to be. Grace is how we can live expectantly knowing that when our time on earth is complete, we have a new home in heaven. Without grace, our prayers would fall short. Our ability to come to our Father and present ourselves would be limited. Grace didn't come for free however, it came at a very high price.
God's Grace was provided through Jesus so that the doors would be swung open and Jesus himself would present us to His Holy Father.
How sweet the sound. The best day of my life as a Christ-follower was the day I learned about grace and began to pursue it.

CSDCCS' schools: the place to be!
More than 14,500 students benefit from French-language Catholic education
Toronto, September 4, 2012 – More than 14,500 students are following the path of the Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud (CSDCCS) on this first day of school. From Port Colborne to Peterborough, and from Toronto to Penetanguishene, the students and staff at the 51 schools within the CSDCCS proclaim far and wide: "CSDCCS' French Catholic schools are the place to be!"
The 2012-2013 school year is off to a great start for the CSDCCS with the opening of three Catholic schools long-since requested by local families. École secondaire catholique Saint-Frère-André in the heart of Toronto has finally opened its doors, after numerous efforts to open the first French-language Catholic high school south of the 401. École élémentaire catholique Notre-Dame-de-la-Huronie in Collingwood opened its doors in record time, less than 10 months after being announced, as residents in the region claimed their right to French-language education. The CSDCCS sprang into action by opening offices at a temporary site, and the school is now being attended by its first cohort of more than 50 students. In this part of Huronia, French voices are being heard far and loud! The students and personnel at École du Sacré-Cœur in Toronto are gathering at a new address on Essex Street in a fully renovated building that is conducive to learning, which is precisely what the school community and board have wanted for several years now.
In addition to these new schools, numerous other projects are underway:
Start of work on the new Catholic elementary school on Meadowvale St. in Toronto East. Opening is scheduled for September 2013;
Start of work on the new building for the Saint-Noël-Chabanel Catholic elementary school, on Thistle Down Street. Opening is scheduled for September 2013;
Start of work on the Halton Catholic secondary school. Opening is scheduled for September 2013;
Acquisition of a building and lot for the construction of the M-12 school in Stouffville;
Purchase of the Richview elementary school in Etobicoke for a new French-language Catholic elementary school in Toronto West;
Extension of the George-Étienne-Cartier Catholic elementary school in Toronto and Sainte-MargueriteBourgeoys Catholic elementary school in Brantford.
"We are proud to be investing in the future this year by opening schools that respond to the needs and demands of Francophone parents in central-southern Ontario," declared Yves Lévesque, chair of the CSDCCS. "It is our duty to act swiftly when parents wish to exercise their right to access French-language Catholic education. This is what we are doing and what we will continue to do in all of the regions of our territory that are not presently being served."
By proclaiming loud and clear that "It's all happening here!" the CSDCCS school community is sharing the very best of what it has to offer: a welcoming and inclusive environment that is focused on academic excellence and progressive discipline; an academic environment and teaching that are anchored in the values of the Gospel as presented by the Catholic Church; an environment where French language is spoken with pride and treated with respect. CSDCCS' schools have everything to enable each student to succeed and thrive!
"I am very proud to be working with the best team of professionals who are doing their utmost to ensure the success of all students", explained Réjean Sirois, Director of Education. "Together, we are offering the very best in education – our results attest to this. The sustained growth in the number of students in our schools demonstrates the extent to which parents are recognizing the value of a French-language Catholic education for their children," he concluded.
Today, the Director of Education is touring several schools. First, he will visit École secondaire catholique SaintFrère-André on Lansdowne Avenue in Toronto, where he will greet the very first cohort of students together with the school principal, Hader Ibrahim. He will then go to École élémentaire catholique du Sacré-Cœur in Toronto before heading to Collingwood for the end of the first day of classes at École élémentaire catholique Notre-Dame-de-laHuronie.
Follow Réjean Sirois live all day on Twitter and Facebook as he celebrates the first day of school with CSDCCS' students and staff.
All staff members and trustees join together in wishing students and parents an excellent school year 2012-2013.

Clapping okay but no chanting allowed as China aims for 'Zero COVID' Olympics
Candice Choi
AP — Athletes will need to be vaccinated — or face a long quarantine — take tests daily and wear masks when not competing or training. Clapping is OK to cheer on teammates, not chanting. Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be sent into isolation and unable to compete until cleared for discharge.
Welcome to the Beijing Olympics, where strict containment measures will aim to create a virus-proof "bubble" for thousands of international visitors at a time when Omicron is fueling infections globally.
The prevention protocols will be similar to those at the Tokyo Games this summer, but much tighter. That won't be a stretch in Beijing, with China having maintained a "Zero COVID" policy since early in the pandemic.
Still, China's ability to stick to its zero-tolerance approach nationally is already being tested by the highly transmissible Omicron variant, which is more contagious than earlier variants of the virus and better able to evade protection from vaccines.
With just weeks to go before the Feb. 4 start of the Games, more than 20 million people in six cities are under lockdown after recent outbreaks.
Here's how the Games will work.
Athletes and other participants including team staff and news media need to be fully vaccinated to be allowed in the designated Olympic areas without completing a 21-day quarantine. Those areas will consist of the Olympic Village, game venues, other select spots and dedicated transport.
That's different from the Tokyo Games, where participants didn't have to be vaccinated.
Participants are considered fully vaccinated according to the definitions outlined by their countries. Before boarding their........
