COVID Emergency Credit Facility covers all companies and not just MSMEs: Finance Minister
Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt Nirmala Sitharaman today said that the COVID Emergency Credit Facility covers all companies and not just MSMEs. Addressing the FICCI National Executive Committee members, Smt Sitharaman assured the industry of all possible Government support with the intent of supporting Indian business and reviving the economy, and said, "We are committed to support/intervene if any of your members have a problem".
On the question of liquidity, the Finance Minister said, "We have fairly clearly addressed the issue of liquidity. There is definitely the availability of the liquidity. We will look into it if there are still issues." Smt Sitharaman also said that every Government department has been told to clear dues and if there is any issue with any department, the government will look into it.
The Finance Minister also said that the Government will consider an extension in the deadline for availing the 15% corporate tax rate on new investments. "I will see what can be done. We want industry to benefit from the 15% corporate tax rate on new investments and I take your point for considering an extension in the deadline of 31st March, 2023," Smt Sitharaman said.
The Finance minister suggested the industry to submit their recommendations related to the ministry of corporate affairs or SEBI deadlines so that necessary steps could be taken.
With regard to the need for reduction in GST rates in the badly affected sectors, She said, "GST rate reduction will go to the Council. But the council is also looking for revenue. The decision for reduction in rate for any sector has to be taken by the Council".
Finance and Revenue Secretary Mr Ajay Bhushan Pandey informed FICCI members that Income Tax Refund to the corporates have also started and I-T refunds to the tune of Rs 35,000 crore have been issued in the last few weeks.
The meeting was also attended by the Economic Affairs Secretary Mr Tarun Bajaj, Corporate Affairs Secretary Mr Rajesh Verma and Department of Financial Services Secretary Mr Debasish Panda.
FICCI President Dr Sangita Reddy informed the Finance Minister that the chamber is in constant touch with different government departments to support the implementation of the measures announced to deal with the COVID-19 impact. "FICCI is committed to the common goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat and working with the government in enhancing implementation," Dr Reddy added.

At the beginning of the 18th century, when supply originating from India was regular and perfectly met demand, commerce with the Sub-Asian continent suddenly declined. The main cause for this was the discovery, in 1725, of new mines in what is now the Minas Gerais province of Brazil.
Between 1730 and 1735, the Brazilian diamond market grew so much that its prices dropped by 75%. The Brazilian mines seemed inexhaustible, to such a point that the fall in the Brazilian diamond price pushed the Portuguese to transfer part of the South American stones to India and to pass them off as coming from there.
Curiously however, while the price of rough fluctuated enormously with variations in supply – mine openings and closures – the price of cut stones remained stable and even tended to firm up.
In 1771, in an attempt to seize control of these riches, Minister Pombal nationalized the mines, engendering a real economic and financial catastrophe. As soon as it gained independence from Portugal in 1822, Brazil reverted to the traditional system of concessions.
Starting from the 1850s, the rise of modern capitalism and the increase in the middle classes started a process of democratization of luxury products. Demand increased in parallel with supply.

My husband took me for an impromptu lunch at a Spanish deli/restaurant that we stumbled across at the weekend. He was tempted in by the mouthwatering jamon hanging in the window and I didn't take too much persuading! We ordered a jamon bocadillo (baguette) and a portion of the daily special 'cod with prawns' to share. We dived straight in when it arrived so sadly I didn't take a picture, but the whole time we were eating I was saying "I am going to try and make this at home"!
So, as it's Friday I went to the supermarket and stocked up a range of ingredients that I thought might recreate the flavours of the dish, with a few adaptations including my favourite seafood: squid and clams. I would have happily had some tiger prawns too but they didn't have any left… it definitely doesn't need it but any fish and seafood combination would work really well with the sauce.
Our paprika is a bit spicy which gave the dish more of a kick than I was expecting, so make sure you check the type of paprika you have before getting carried away and adding too much! The sauce was just delicious and you can't beat the soft squid texture you get by cooking it slowly for a longer time. This is a sure addition to our favourites!
Sweat the onion and garlic in a frying pan with olive oil. Add the sliced potatoes, paprika and season well. Add the squid and stir well, leaving for a few minutes to heat through and start to sizzle.
Pour in the passata and stock, stir well and leave to simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has reduced and thickened. Stir occasionally to stop anything sticking to the pan.
Meanwhile make some vegetables to serve on the side. I sliced two small leeks into rings and cooked gently in butter in a saucepan for five minutes. I then added the sliced outer leaves (about 8 leaves) of a savoy cabbage, put the lid on and let cook down for another 5 minutes. Give it a good grind of salt and pepper before serving.
Back to the stew… nestle the fish into the sauce and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes. Then scatter the clams on top and cover for another 3 minutes until all of the fish is cooked through.
Sprinkle with the parsley and squeeze the lemon over the fish. Serve the pan on the table with greens on the side. Enjoy!

In this post, I'll explain why a website should evolve over time and should never be viewed as 'finished'.
After investing in a website, it's easy to move onto the next project and leave the website running quietly in the background. I think this is a real shame and prevents your website from achieving its potential.
A website represents your business at a point in time. This is obviously true of the content, but I think it also refers to the website's features.
As your business evolves, so should your website. A small brochure-style site might have been fine in the early days, but it's important to recognise when you've outgrown it.
By building websites using the WordPress platform, our sites are designed to be modular and future-proof. This makes it easy to add features over time, without having to redesign the site from scratch.
If you want to attract regular visitors to your website, you can build it into an online community with social networking features – discussion forums, customer reviews, online polls, membership options, etc.
Use Google Analytics to see which parts of your website are – and aren't – popular. This will help to inform your site's future development: Build on the things that are working, and either improve or remove the things that aren't.
You can tell at a glance when a website is in need of modernisation. The internet is constantly evolving, both in terms of the technologies used and the overall style of websites.
If your site is built in WordPress then you can give it an instant makeover by installing a new theme. These can be designed from scratch as part of a new brand identity for your business, or based on pre-made designs (premium themes). These can be customised to your business as needed.
Does your website work on modern web browsers and mobile devices? If it was designed to look good at a certain monitor size or to suit older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 & 7, then it might be worth optimising and refreshing your website.
With thousands of plugins available, WordPress makes it easy and inexpensive to add new features and make use of the latest technologies – social media, web video, image galleries, e-commerce, advertising, multimedia, and much more.
If your site isn't very future-proof then migrating it to WordPress might save you money in the long-run.
Everyone knows that potential customers are put off by websites with out of date or inaccurate content. However, you may not realise that search engines also favour websites that are updated regularly. This means that it's worth refreshing and adding new website content as often as possible – see Why a website is never finished – Part 1 for more information.

Q: Python - Multiple Plots in a Single Figure - Loop in DIfferent columns I'm trying to plot in a single image, multiple columns of a table.
The idea is to optimize the process with a loop.
It is important to note that all the columns share the same y-axis, and that the x scale varies for each column.
The Final result should look something like this:

I've already tried some things, but with no success, in my code I'm creating several figures, only plotting in the first graph:
def facies_plot_all(logs):
    logs = sort_values(by='y')
    ztop=logs.Y.min(); zbot=logs.Y.max()

    for col in logs.columns:
        numcol = (logs.shape[1])
        f, ax = plt.subplots (nrows=1, ncols=numcol, figsize (20,25))
        ax[x+1].plot(logs[col],logs.Y,'-')

I'm relatively new to programming and still searching for a way to solve this issue.
Any help will be welcome!

A: Put subplots outside of for loop:
logs = sort_values(by='y')
ztop=logs.Y.min(); zbot=logs.Y.max()

numcol = (logs.shape[1])
f, axes es= plt.subplots (nrows=1, ncols=numcol,
                        sharey=True,
                        figsize=(20,25))

for (ax, col) in zip(axes,logs.columns):
    ax.plot(logs[col],logs.Y,'-')

Gulf, West grapple with Syrian refugee crisis
By Kanika Rangray
Now-a-days on a daily basis, there comes a piece of news which reports the refugee crisis going on in the Gulf countries. Someone or the other talks about how the European Union (EU) is gradually, opening its arms towards the refugees of war torn countries like Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen. On the contrary, Gulf countries surrounding these war-torn nations refuse to help the people who have somehow been lucky enough (if that term can be used) to escape the ongoing bloodbath.
The refugee crisis gained a brighter spotlight globally especially after the image of a 3-year-old drowned boy, Aylan Kurdi, lying face down on a beach went viral—triggering the anger and anguish of millions around the world. Those millions maybe a stranger to the boy, but the picture conveyed the monstrous consequences burdened upon the civilians making them refugees.
The beginning of the refugee crisis
The current refugee crisis has its roots in the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. The West, specifically the US, has a significant role to be accountable for current situation in war-torn Syria. During the early stages of the Syrian civil war, US authorities began the aid supply to various Syrian rebel groups. This happened after reports in 2013 revealed the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government to stifle rebel fighters.
Bashar al-Assad's government denied these accusations, but the US continued to provide support to rebel groups; and many analysts prophesised that such actions will destroy the prospects of peace in Syria and prolong the war. This wreaked more havoc.
The continuous airstrikes carried out by the US, now being planned by Australia and France as well, on Islamic State of Iran & Libya (ISIL) and Islamic State of Iraq & Syria (ISIS) has brought down a catastrophe upon the devastated civilians of the victim nations. By July-end of 2015, in Syria alone the death count was an estimated 300,000. As many as 4 million Syrians were forced to leave their homeland as a consequence of the continued war. So, even though the refugee crisis cannot be altogether left on the shoulders of the West, the role it played can also not be ignored.
As a consequence, the ISIS and ISIL retaliated with terror. The war has now been going on for so long that it is now a blur of who started it first— like answering the question "Who came first? Was it the phoenix or the flame?"
Why have the Gulf countries not stepped forward?
The ongoing crisis has left approximately 12.8 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in Syria, and more than 50 per cent of the country's population is currently displaced. According to the latest data provided by Amnesty International, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain have refused any resettlement places to Syrian refugees.
Michael Stephens, a Middle-East research fellow at Qatar's Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, was quoted in a BBC article. He said: "Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are extremely concerned about the potential for Assad loyalists to strike back."
He said the Gulf states were worried about security threats from Syrian refugees, fearing that they maybe loyalists of the Assad government.
The helping hand forwarded by the West
EU has already taken steps to assist political asylum to refugees. Gradually, the US and other Western countries are now allowing the refugees to their lands for resettlement.
Some are of the belief that the Western countries are obligated to do so. They claimed that they are the main catalysts behind all the destruction which has led to the forced relocation of millions. Is there an ulterior motive?
With providing help and refuge to not just few but to millions, it doesn't only grab attention, it's something more! It will also bring allies on the global political front due to the so-called humanitarian act. Such allies "earned by heart-touching actions" could provide you a strong and high pedestal on the global political arena and also a considerable amount of influence on the same front.
Maybe the Gulf countries have finally noticed this as suddenly out of nowhere funds begin to pour in huge amounts. According to New York Times (NYT), Kuwait contributed more than $US304 million to the United Nation's Syria response fund this year, making it the world's third-largest donor. Saudi Arabia donated $US 18.4 million and the UAE provided more than $US 540 million in relief and humanitarian assistance.
Irrespective of this global-political playground, maybe it is genuine help in reaction to the atrocities, the need of the hour is to be more productive. Instant measures are required for the well-being of these destitute and homeless people, who are nothing more than victims of those greedy for power.

11 Feb 2013 | 2 min read | 2
Given Frank Zappa's proclivity towards oddball performers and different musicians -- Captain Beefheart, the GTOs, the Shaggs -- it's hardly surprising he should be the one who brought Wild Man Fischer into the vocabulary of outsider musicians. And Fischer was very outside. In '68 Zappa recorded a double album of Fischer's singing and rants as An Evening with Wild Man Fischer, the title... > Read more

Daniel Johnston: Happy Time


The Lightroom Catalog is a database containing all the relevant information that Lightroom needs about your photos in order to process your images and sit at the centre of your workflow.
Lightroom is a digital asset management (DAM) tool – you can use it to organize and search your photos, as well as process them. This is the main difference between Lightroom and Photoshop, which is a powerful image editor, but has no database capabilities.
Even if you use Photoshop for all your processing you can still use Lightroom to view, organize, and search your photos. That's why the two programs come together if you subscribe to Adobe's Creative Photography Plan (and why Photoshop no longer comes with Adobe Bridge). This article will walk you through some of the tools inside Lightroom to help you organize your photos.
Lightroom uses Collections to organize your images. A Collection is a virtual folder that exists in the Lightroom Catalog. You can create as many Collections as you like within Lightroom and use them for whatever purpose you see fit. The more you use them, the more you will find better ways to use them.
Collections: Virtual folders to which you can add any photo that you have imported into Lightroom.
Collection Sets: Another type of virtual folder to which you can add Collections, but not photos. Collection Sets are used to keep your Collections organized.
This screen shot shows the icons used to represent Collection Sets and Collections in Lightroom. Xi'an – Terracotta Warriors (red arrow) is a Collection Set. Full Selection (green arrow) is a Collection. The icon is indented because it is inside the Collection Set.
Smart Collections: Collections that are populated automatically according to the rules that you set. For example, you could create a Smart Collection containing all photos taken in 2015, tagged with the keyword phrase "New York" to find all photos that meet those criteria. A Smart Collection is really a way of searching for images, and retaining the result indefinitely.
Published Collections: Beyond the scope of this article, Published Collections are created in Lightroom's Publish Services. You can learn more about Published Collections in my article How to Upload Photos to Flickr and 500px Using Lightroom 5 (the information applies to Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC as well).
Book and Print Collections: These are created in the Book and Print modules. My articles How to Create a Simple Blurb Photo Book in Lightroom and How to Create a 2015 Calendar in the Lightroom Print Module go into more detail.
For the purposes of this article we are interested in Collections and Collection Sets.
If this is your first time using Lightroom you won't have any Collections yet (apart from the Smart Collections that it already contains). So let's get started! I'm assuming that you have already imported your first photos into the Lightroom Catalog.
Go to the Collections panel and click on the plus icon you see in the top right corner. Select Create Collection Set.
The Create Collection Set window appears, where you can give the Collection Set a name.
I've named this one 2015. The idea is that it will house all the Collection Sets containing photos taken in the year 2015 (remember that Collection Sets can only contain Collections, not photos).
Now right-click on the Collection set you just created and choose Create Collection Set. Lightroom prompts you for a name. I've called this Island Bay because it's the Wellington suburb where the photos in my last import were taken (and have saved it inside the 2015 Collection Set).
Right-click on this new Collection Set (Island Bay) and select Create Collection. The Create Collection window opens. This is slightly different and gives you more options. Name the Collection "Full selection" (I'll explain why in a minute), tick the Set as Target Collection box and click Create.
Now go to the Catalog panel and click on Previous Import. Lightroom displays the last set of imported images in the Content window. Go to Edit > Select All to select all the photos and press the B key. Lightroom adds all the selected photos to the Target Collection – the Collection called Full Selection that you just created. Congratulations, you have just created your first Collection!
This is what the Collection Sets and Collection I created in the example above look like in the Collections panel in the Library module. The plus icon next to the Collection Full Selection indicate it is the Target Collection. The number 27 on the right tells you how many photos are in the Collection.
Of course, you are probably wondering why I asked you to create such a strange name as Full Selection. To find out why read my article Use Lightroom Collections to Improve Your Workflow. It shows you how to use Collections to help you decide which photos from a shoot you are going to process. All will become clear when you do so.
Use Flags to indicate which photos you are going to process.
I ignore Ratings and Color Labels and don't use them. Of course, you may wish to use them and there is nothing wrong with that. Workflow is a personal thing, and ultimately you will figure out what works best for you through trial and error.
Let's take a closer look at Flags, Ratings, and Color Labels. The easiest way to see them is in Grid View, which you can go to from any Lightroom module by pressing the G key on the keyboard. Read my article Making Sense of Lightroom's Grid View to learn more.
Every photo in your Lightroom Catalog is either unflagged (the default), flagged as a Pick (indicated by a white flag) or flagged as a Reject (marked by a black flag with a cross in it).
The quickest way to flag a photo as a Pick is to select and it and press the P key. You can remove the flag by pressing the U key or mark it as a Reject by pressing the X key. Flags are generally used to indicate which photos you would like to process (Picks) and which you would like to delete (Rejects).
The middle photo has been flagged as a Reject. It is marked with a black flag (circled left) and the thumbnail is greyed out, making it easy to pick out in Grid View. The right photo has been flagged as a Pick and is marked by a white flag (circled right). The left photo is unflagged. There is no flag icon, but Lightroom displays a grey one when you mouse over the thumbnail.
Every photo in your Lightroom Catalog is either unrated (the default) or has a one, two, three, four or five star rating. You can apply these ratings by selecting a photo and pressing the corresponding number key (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
Ratings are generally used as a way to indicate which photos are your favourites. Give your best images a rating of 5, and use the other numbers for the rest.
Here, the three photos have been given a rating of three, four and five stars respectively. The star rating of each photo is displayed under the thumbnail in Grid View.
You can also assign a color label to your photo by selecting it, going to Photo > Set Color Label and choosing from Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple or none. You can also use the 6, 7, 8 and 9 number keys as a shortcut to applying Red, Yellow, Green and Blue color labels.
Colour labels are designed to be adaptable so you can use them for whatever you want. Go to Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit to assign a meaning to each color label. In this example I have entered a purpose for three of the color labels. It's just an example to show you the possibilities – in reality I prefer to keep things simple and not use them.
Hopefully this article has given you a good overview of the process of using Lightroom as a digital asset management tool. The next article in this series will show you how to get started in the Develop module. Meanwhile, if you have any questions about organizing your photos in the Library module then please let me know in the comments.
My latest ebook Mastering Lightroom Book One: The Library Module (second edition) is a complete guide to using Lightroom's Library module to import, organise and search your photo files. You'll learn how to tame your growing photo collection using Collections and Collection Sets, and how to save time so you can spend more time in the Develop module processing your photos.

The event will also feature Pepper, a robot that is capable of reading emotions and feelings.
The two-day event is part of MDEC's efforts to catalyse digital innovation ecosystems in expanding opportunities in the area of Big Data and Analytics (BDA).
Speakers include Professor Karim R. Lakhani (Harvard Business School), Daniel Castro (Director of Centre for Data Innovation, US), Amr Awadallah (Co-founder and CTO of Cloudera) and Lutz Finger (Data Scientist, Cornell University) along with a host of regional and local speakers.
"Transformational technologies such as BDA play a pivotal role in helping Malaysia become a high income economy by creating new business value solutions and encouraging significant innovation and advancements across multiple industries. In fact, Big Data is one of the most important focus areas for MDEC.
What we are projecting is that Malaysia needs to have 2,000 data scientists, the real top-tier end of the whole ecosystem by the year 2020. They would be supported by 16,000 data professionals," said MDEC CEO Yasmin Mahmood.
MDEC innovation capital director Ir. Dr. Karl Ng feels that excellent results have been achieved through the BDA initiatives.
The launch of the Asean Data Analytics Exchange (ADAX) will redefine the approach to Big Data entirely by bringing together the community, enterprises, startups, academia and working professionals at a single venue.
Malaysia as a leading BDA solutions hub in the South-East Asia
Malaysia is making steady progress in becoming a hub for BDA solution providers. As of August 2016, there were 22 multinational BDA companies in Malaysia.
These include IHS Markit and SiteCore. In addition to this, Fusionex and Data Micron are among the Malaysian companies who have expanded globally.
In total, there are 32 BDA companies that have exported their services/solutions and 47 BDA start-ups continuously innovating and testing cutting edge technology in this space.
Addressing the talent gap in Asia
Technology is nothing without the people behind it and talent development is the key component of building a BDA ecosystem.
As part of the BDA initiative, MDEC is also focused on filling the talent gap in Big Data Analytics.
Along with key strategic partners, MDEC has been actively building industry-university partnerships to groom and nurture talent in Big Data and Analytics. In addition to introducing postgraduate courses on Data Science, undergraduate IT-related degrees with Data Science specialisation are also being introduced.
In order to reach a wider audience and lay the ground work for more future talent, Data Science modules are being introduced into non-ICT degree courses such as Actuarial Science, Business, Management, etc.
As of September 2016, there are five institutions of higher learning offering postgraduate degrees in Data Science and seven (7) IHLs offering undergraduate degrees with Data Science specialisation.
Additionally, MDEC has tied up with Coursera to offer Massive Open Online Courses for working professionals across industries. Since the start of the programme, 200 participants have completed the course.
As part of the professional development pathway, MDEC is also working with the likes of Dell EMC, SAS Institute, Cloudera and TheCADS to offer professional courses. To encourage local adoption, MDEC and the Human Resource Development Fund are also identifying training needs that corresponds with the advancement of technology, system and processes in in the area of BDA.

Stella Maris is a stunning 3 bedroom north facing penthouse apartment overlooking the length of Shelly Beach and east to the Pacific Ocean.
Walking distance to The Belle General and Lighthouse Beach Cafe and patrolled surfing beach. Just a short drive to Ballina CBD, cinemas and restaurants.
Large tiled balcony off lounge with stunning ocean views with Weber BBQ and outdoor dining. Carpet and tiles throughout.
1 Queen, 1 Double, 2 Singles. Dishwasher, 2 toilets, single remote garage & single carport.
The apartment was lovely and suited us down to the ground. Spacious, a great deck and a family size table for evening get together's. Would definitely book again.
Two things; an indoor floor brush would be good and we experienced some ants on the deck, perhaps some spray.
Thanks Caroline for your review & the suggestions. Glad you had a lovely stay.
Had a great week here and was impressed by the cleanliness, facilities and equipment. Although there is no aircon it wasn't necessary as with the windows open at night the ocean breeze blew through the windows. Stunning views and we watched dolphins in the surf most mornings. Great posi for both Lighthouse and Shelley beaches (both with guards) and the cafe nearby is excellent too.
Stella Maris has magnificent, uninterrupted views of Shelley Beach from all living areas, two of the bedrooms and the huge deck. It is worth staying here just to wake up to see the dolphins playing at your doorstep every morning. The apartment itself is relatively modern with nice decor. The kitchen has a family sized fridge which was great. It is well appointed although some decent wine glasses, a hairdryer and cushions for the couch would be a welcome addition. The beds were really comfortable (firm but not hard). I thought we might be too hot in the apartment but with the fantastic sea breezes and the umbrella for the outdoor table we were fine. I've already recommended Stella Maris to friends.
Thanks Amanda. Glad you had a lovely stay.
Stella Maris was our base camp for a week, while we attended Byron Bluesfest. Very well appointed apartment, with all you need to stay very comfortably for a week.
The view of the beach and ocean is outstanding, a real draw card to this place. The outdoor area is HUGE, and great for outdoor dining. Unfortunately, the electric awning is not available for tenant use, which makes the outdoor space a little less functional in hot weather. You're probably best to have a car to get around from this location into the main shops etc. The walk into the main shops in Ballina is over 30 mins.
We spent hours sitting on the balcony watching the dolphins swim up and down the beach. Perfect place to relax a read a trashy book. Booking it through the agent was seamless, very helpful, quick to respond, and bond returned fast. Hope to stay again soon.


Little bundles like this were being sold in a shop called The Cross in Yaletown, Vancouver. Just offcuts of material, but they could be used to make small simple purses, or as backing framing material, or to make placemats, coasters, a table runner or to layer for an interesting tray liner… I just thought it was a lovely idea to gather randomly sized offcuts of different textured and patterned fabrics (these were ones from the Designers Guild in London, funnily enough) in colours that tone. Something to give as a little gift to anyone who's into sewing or crafts as am sure they would, like me, just like them and enjoy deliberating over what to do with them!


A PARAMEDIC spiked the wine of a woman he met on the internet.
Steven Jones, aged 37, of Sedley Court, Sydenham Hill, slipped a powerful painkiller into her glass while the woman was in the bathroom of her flat. But his plan was foiled when the victim, a police nurse, decided they weren't a match and ended the evening.
Jamie Cullum previewed new songs and performed a Justin Timberlake cover at the concert to celebrate the opening of Sydenham High School's £2.5m performing arts centre. The 90-minute show at the school in Westwood Hill, Sydenham, was enjoyed by 500 pupils, staff and parents.
A 45-YEAR-OLD man was "crushed" under a bus after he chased youths intimidating him, a witness claims.

Karen has 25 years of experience with Dow, but she only recently moved into the HR space. Before assuming her current responsibilities, she held the role of North America Commercial Vice President, Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics (P&SP). In her role, Karen was a member of the global business leadership team and was responsible for the overall profit & loss of P&SP's North America region, which is part of Dow's Performance Plastics Division and represents more than $18.4B in sales.
Karen has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Howard University and a master's degree in international business from DePaul University. In 2014, Karen was named to the prestigious Forty Women to Watch Over 40 list for her innovative leadership contributions.
Dow Chemical has been in existence for a little over 120 years. With 50,000 employees around the world, it has revenue in excess of $40,000,000,000. Karen describes the company as a combination of a science and technology organization with a goal to develop and deliver solutions that are essential to human progress. One main focus of Dow is on consumer care, for example ingredients for prescription medications and vitamins. Another one of their markets is packaging, for instance, keeping meat fresh, and as Karen touches on in our conversation, there's actually technology that is used to make a plastic that enables meat to still be fresh for a few days. The last market that is a main focus is infrastructure – things like roads and bridges and buildings and mega structures like stadiums.
What does diversity and inclusion mean?Karen says, diversity is the collection of all of our unique differences. We talk about diversity across multiple dimensions, and most people tend to migrate directly to race, gender, ethnicity, however, there are other dimensions of diversity – for example, military experience or cultural fluency. Inclusion is the intentional and deliberate action we take to create a culture that embraces and values those differences.
There are several technologies that Dow Chemical is leveraging in the diversity and inclusion space. They use a Workday People Portal that allows them to be much more transparent with information directly to employees and it allows leaders to have easy access to data that helps them make better decisions. For example, being able to see the last 50 promotions a leader has made to ensure that talent is diverse.
As Karen shares in our conversation, we still have a long way to go when it comes to diversity and inclusion in organizations today. Some good strides have been made, but not enough.

Iraqi Communists demand an end to bloody violence and repression
A man holds a national flag while protesters burn the municipal complex during protests demanding better public services and jobs in Basra this week
IRAQI communists condemned "bloody violence and repression" in Basra today, calling on the government to immediately stop the "inhumane" treatment of peaceful protesters.
At least eight people have been killed by security forces during weeks of popular unrest in the southern Iraqi city where residents have expressed anger over the collapse of infrastructure, rising unemployment and water shortages.
The Iraqi Communist Party (ICP) warned that the protests erupted because the government has continued to ignore "legitimate demands and the slow-handling of the burning problems that have turned the lives of millions of people into unbearable daily suffering."
A planned curfew of the city was scrapped minutes before it was due to take hold after demonstrators blocked the key port of Umm Qasr yesterday.
They prevented trucks from leaving and chanted anti-government slogans.
No new government has been formed since the Sairoun Coalition — an alliance between Islamist cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and the ICP — topped the polls in May's general election.
They are negotiating with other groupings to form a government but efforts have been hampered after a recount was ordered following fraud allegations.
The ICP urged the government to invest in jobs and infrastructure and take urgent measures to resolve Basra's severe water shortage.
In a statement the ICP demanded an end to state violence and justice for those who have been killed by Iraqi security services.
"Bloody violence and repression in Basra must stop immediately.
"Those responsible for the repression and the lethal shooting of peaceful demonstrators must be held accountable without delay and receive the punishment they deserve."


Your skin requires a lot of pampering and care especially if it is on the drier side. Dry skin can be the result of a lot of factors–Genetics, the weather at your place or even the fragrance or soap you've been using may lead to dry skin. Therefore, just being armed with a basic skin care routine isn't enough to deal with this skin type. You need to learn more about what you could do to help your skin and even more about what you should avoid limiting your skincare slip-ups.
Dry skin needs to be handled with a lot of care and it needs to be moisturized regularly to keep it looking and feeling healthy. Therefore, the moisturizer you choose should work for your skin and not for any other skin type. So don't buy products that aren't for you. Instead, take time to research and find products that work for your skin. Desert Aloe and Jojoba Cream from Sia Botanics is our personal favourite. This is specifically designed for severely dry skin and the ingredients are natural and nourish your skin down to the cellular level.
We know that people with dry skin have creams and body lotions at hand, in their desk draws or handbag. Dry skin isn't restricted to the face alone. Hand and lip care often take a back seat during skincare rituals. It is essential that you have hand cream and a lip moisturizer or balm close by that keeps these areas hydrated and supple. Hands and lips can actually ache when they are crying out for moisture.
Dry skin also needs to be exfoliated! Yes, you read that right. It can be daily or twice a week or a pattern of your choice, according to the response of your skin. We recommend you use a gentle face scrub that is particularly designed for dry skin like the Desert Aloe and Jojoba Scrub by Sia Botanics. Once or twice weekly should do. Face scrubs for dry skin actually helps gently exfoliate and remove dry skin flakes, nourishing and hydrating the underlying cells and leaving your skin looking healthy and radiant.
Let's get this clear, matter makeup spells disaster for dry skin. Matte finish on dry skin actually draws the eye to any dry patches because of the powdery consistency of the products. Makeup experts always suggest that you use products that adhere to your skin type. Liquid makeup is what works best for dry skin!

Austrobatrachus foedus is een  straalvinnige vissensoort uit de familie van kikvorsvissen (Batrachoididae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1947 door Smith.

Kikvorsvissen


The days are gradually growing cooler, the nights are drawing in and although it's sad to say goodbye to balmy days, alfresco dining and a garden brimming with flora, colour and growth, it does mean the start of another exciting season: harvest. This busy period of picking, digging, collecting and gathering is a favourite in the kitchen garden at the RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The gardeners can finally reap what was sown in the months before and are more than ready to gather in a bounty of leeks, squashes, beetroots, brassicas and apples, to name just a few fruits and vegetables .
The kitchen garden, now four years old, is a colourful and exciting haven, jam-packed with ideas, resourceful design and food. Living willow fences edge the curved path into the area, providing a screen and natural support for fragrant sweet peas in the early summer months and climbing vegetables. The garden's raised beds range from RHS trainee plots which change yearly, to the maze-like layout of the main beds inter-planted with flowers and herbs. These companion plants attract beneficial pollinating insects and deter pests, and together with edible flowers, such as violets, marigolds and nasturtiums, offer a visual feast for the eyes; a colourful mixed planting with texture, depth and interest.
A well-planted produce garden is a beautiful sight and will provide a bountiful harvest if managed well. And there's no better place to see this than at RHS Harlow Carr's annual Grow Your Own Autumn Festival which takes place on Saturday October 12th and Sunday October 13th; it's a celebration of the season with expert advice on all aspects of growing your own food and seasonal eating.
Lionel will be using the outside oven and fire pits to demonstrate how to get the most from seasonal produce, while an RHS horticulturist talks through the ingredients and how best to grow them. Have a go at his recipes here and email your photos of the finished dish to us at feedback@yorkshirelife.co.uk or upload them to our website yorkshirelife.co.uk. We'd love to see them and we will publish the best.
The festival will have an array of produce displays with advice and demonstrations from local experts, as well as a mini autumn market where you'll be able to stock up the larder with treats from regional producers.
The Yorkshire Rotters will be on hand to get people involved with their Love Food Hate Waste campaign, while also whizzing up delicious smoothies on their juicing bike.
Other highlights include live jazz music, demonstrations on growing cut flowers and apple pressing, mushroom log drilling, craft workshops for youngsters and a help stand manned by experts from the RHS advisory team. So, whether you have a window box, a front lawn, a smallholding, an allotment or just a vase that needs filling, there'll be something to inspire and interest you.

Fly Fishing for Permit
Jack Samson
A how-to and where-to guide for catching fly fishing's toughest fish!
Fishermen brag about the biggest trout. They talk about the spookiest bonefish. They speak in high excitement of the speed of a false albacore. But the permit has taunted more fisherman than all of these fish, and has maintained a reputation for being truly impossible to catch.
Whole clubs of frustrated permit pursuers have been created. Stories abound of fishermen who have fished for years before catching their first permit. Now Jack Samson, legendary editor of Field and Stream for fifteen years, begins to turn the tide. Jack has pursued permit around the world and has gone further than any other writer in unlocking the mysteries of this fabled fish. Fly Fishing for Permit is his attempt to provide a complete guide to all aspects of permit fishing.
You'll learn what kind of equipment you'll need. You'll get thorough instruction on how to use that equipment. You'll get detailed information with maps for fishing all the famous permit areas of the world—Mexico's Ascension Bay, the Florida Keys, Belize, and many more. Finally, Samson has compiled an extensive selection of photos and tying recipes of the most effective flies—included the latest innovative patterns. Plus there's a bonus appendix of permit fishing stories from several of the most famous permit fishermen in the world including Gordie Hill, Winston Moore, and more.
7.4 x 10.3 | 224pp | Hardcover |
16 full-color photographs and 92 black-and-white photographs
Jack Samson was editor of Field and Stream for fifteen years—until his permit addiction got the best of him. He now travels the world in pursuit of this fish. Samson is the author of several books, including Permit on a Fly and Fly Fishing for Permit. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

In 2002, as adjunct professor of law at Georgia State University, Nelson co-founded a dual degree program between the Master of City and Regional Planning degree at Georgia Tech and the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree at Georgia State University.

In 2002, Nelson left Georgia Tech to join the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University as a Professor of Urban Affairs and Planning. There he founded the Urban Affairs and Planning Program at the Alexandria Center and served as its director until 2006 when he became the Co-Director of Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech. In 2005, he created the university's first graduate dual degree, called 'sequential degree', programs. He also served as the Founding Director of Planning Academy at Virginia Tech.

Nelson left Virginia Tech in 2008 to join the University of Utah as Presidential Professor of City and Metropolitan Planning. There he founded the Master of Real Estate Development program, the doctoral program in Metropolitan Planning, Policy and Design, and the Metropolitan Research Center. He also served as adjunct professor of finance in the David Eccles School of Business. In 2014, he became Presidential Professor Emeritus at the University of Utah and was appointed Professor of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development at the University of Arizona. From 2014 to 2016, he was the Associate Dean of Research and Discovery for the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture at Arizona. In 2016 he was extended an additional appointment as Professor of Geography, Development and Environment in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

There are numerous endowed positions and scholarships in Nelson's name including the Arthur C. Nelson Fellowship supporting women, people of color and indigenous descent, veterans, disabled persons, and members of the LGBTQ community studying planning awarded by the American Planning Association, the Arthur C. Nelson and Clark Ivory Doctoral Fellowship in metropolitan planning, policy and design students at the University of Utah, and the Arthur C. Nelson Fellowship in Urban Planning and Real Estate Development at the University of Arizona.

Research and work
Nelson is widely known for his work in several fields such as growth management/smart growth, suburban/exurban analysis, applied demographic and economic analysis to understand the future of metropolitan development patterns, and the theory and practice of development mitigation. With James B. Duncan, Nelson co-wrote Growth Management Principles and Practices. It explains growth management at the local, county, regional, and state levels, including an overall theory of growth management to mitigate externalities associated with underpriced infrastructure, conflicting land uses, and tax policies that subsidize urban sprawl.

With Thomas W. Sanchez, Nelson identified many of the causes and consequences of exurbanization. While some have argued that exurbia exists because exurbanites have different housing and location preferences than suburbanites, Nelson's research has shown that exurbia is nothing more than the suburbanization of the suburbs.

With James C. Nicholas and Julian Conrad Juergensmeyer, Nelson has advanced the application of proportionate share impact fees to mitigate the adverse effects of development on public facilities.

Nelson is also known for applying demographic and economic trends to understand how America's metropolitan areas are changing. One of his key findings is that by the middle 2000s there were already more homes on large suburban lots than the market may need by the middle 2020s. Kaid Benfield wrote that Nelson predicted the 2007 collapse of the housing market because of oversupply of key housing types. According to Ellen Dunham-Jones, Nelson shows that for most metropolitan areas, perhaps all new development needs can be met on existing parking lots and existing low density/intensity developed sites.

Nelson's recent work explores the interaction between public transit, land use patterns, economic development, and demographic settlement patterns.

In 2019, Nelson's h-index was 51.

Five-star forward Jordan Brown is again considering the Arizona Wildcats.
At this week's McDonald's All-American game in Atlanta, Brown told Adam Zagoria of Flohoops.com that the Wildcats are back on his radar.
"I kind of re-opened up and Stanford's gotten involved and also Arizona, too," he said Monday after practice in Atlanta. "I'm just kind of waiting out the process now to figure things out because most of my time spent up until now was spent getting ready for this."
The 6-11 power forward from Napa Valley (CA) Prolific Prep was originally recruited by Arizona before the FBI wiretap scandal broke.
According to Flohoops.com Arizona head coach Sean Miller has communicated with Dion Brown, Jordan's father.
"Just kind of waiting on how things go," Brown said of Arizona. "If things get cleared up, then I'm going to think more on it."
Besides Arizona and Stanford, reports say Brown is considering St. John's, Nevada, Gonzaga, Cal, Oregon, and Louisiana-Lafayette.

300,000 Hybrid's by end of 2005!!
clshep
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Toyota Motor Corp. has set a goal of selling 300,000 gas-electric hybrid vehicles worldwide by the end of 2005, but production capacity may be a factor, Toyota president Fujio Cho said Wednesday, August 4th.
Speaking at an automotive seminar in this northern Michigan city, Cho said Japan's No. 1 automaker remained bullish on prospects for hybrids even as Toyota and others invest billions on technology for hydrogen fuel cell cars and trucks. But experts say road-ready hydrogen-powered vehicles are at least a decade away.
"It may be difficult for us to produce (300,000) hybrids by that time, but we have another year to go so we'll make every effort," Cho told reporters through an interpreter after his prepared remarks.
Toyota sold 53,293 hybrid vehicles worldwide in 2003 and announced Tuesday it was boosting monthly production of its hybrid sedan, the Prius, from 10,000 to 15,000 a month in 2005 to meet global demand.
Toyota also has raised its global vehicle sales target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005, to 7.2 million vehicles, an increase of 180,000 vehicles from an earlier forecast. Toyota sold 6.7 million vehicles around the world last fiscal year.
Cho acknowledged that a possible obstacle to reaching 300,000 hybrid sales is capacity. For now, all production takes place in Japan, but Cho said the company was studying the possibility of building hybrids in the United States.
"Sometime in the future we might have to consider doing that," he said. "We're carrying out various studies at the moment about various possibilities, but it's still at the stage of studying matters."
Hybrids draw power from two energy sources, typically a gas or diesel engine combined with an electric motor. For now, the only versions available in the United States are Toyota's Prius and two small cars made by Honda Motor Co., but nearly every automaker is investing in hybrid technology.
Ford Motor Co. is scheduled to begin selling a hybrid version of its Escape sport utility vehicle this summer, and Toyota says it will introduce two hybrid SUVs early next year - the Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX400H.
Ford has said the hybrid system in the front-wheel-drive Escape allows the vehicle to get 35 to 40 miles per gallon in city driving, compared with 20 miles per gallon in a 2005 Escape with a V6 engine. It plans another hybrid SUV and midsize sedan in the next few years.
Also, Honda is set to introduce a hybrid version of its popular Accord sedan this fall.
U.S. registrations for hybrid vehicles rose to 43,435 last year, a 25.8 percent increase from 2002, according to recent figures from R.L. Polk & Co.
Since 2000, hybrid sales in the United States have grown at an average annual rate of 88.6 percent, Polk said, but they account for only a fraction of total vehicles sold. Full-year U.S. sales for 2003 were 16.7 million.
Toyota sold 1.86 million vehicles in the United States last year - 6.3 percent more than the year before - but Prius sales accounted for only 24,627.
So far this year, helped in part by higher gas prices, Toyota has sold slightly more than 27,000 of the hybrid sedans, including 5,230 last month, according to Autodata Corp.
Mike Wall, an industry analyst with CSM Worldwide, said a key to Toyota meeting its hybrid sales goal is the North American market and a greater acceptance among drivers who still aren't clear on hybrids and their performance capabilities.
Wall said it's not out of the question that Toyota might one day build a hybrid version of its full-size pickup at the company's plant under construction in San Antonio.
"They have a lot on their plate, so it's probably long term," he said. "But that's what Toyota does well - thinking long term."

James was a successful businessman in his 20s when doctors found a large tumour between his spine and kidneys.
His weight dropped from 14 stone to six stone and he lost the ability to walk. He was given a 5% chance of surviving, went into cardiac arrest during surgery and spent two weeks in a coma before having to learn to walk again using a frame.
But James certainly wasn't going to give up and determined to give something back to the medics who had saved his life, he decided to take on long-distance cycling challenges, despite never having ridden more than five miles round his local reservoir. Since then James has raised more than £3 million for charity and has ridden across the US, Mexico, Spain and France, pedalled from London to Paris six times, as well as John O'Groats to Land's End. He has completed the gruelling Haute Route, across the Alps, Pyrenees and Dolomites, eight times – more than any other Brit. On one trip across the USA, he was knocked off his bike by a lorry, and he has also had to battle cancer for a second time.
Last summer, James broke the world record for the longest distance cycled in a week - 1,766.2 miles in seven days.
James began setting himself daily challenges, like walking to town to get a pasty.
Meanwhile, he was told his tumour was shrinking and he was officially discharged in July. After borrowing his lodger's bike for a cycle round a reservoir, James started setting himself bigger challenges to give back to those who had helped him recover.
In 2011 a routine scan revealed that James's cancer had returned and a new tumour had grown back in the same place.
Medics finally agreed that surgery was his only option, and two weeks after the tumour was removed his son Freddie was born. That was another miracle – James and his wife Louise had been told that they would never have children.
Now James, who does inspirational talks around the UK, has been cancer-free for six years and in undergoing annual check-ups to monitor his health.
"The more days I endure and the further I get into it, the more I come to life," he says. "I want to plant the seeds of thoughts, and let them grow.
But despite raising millions for charity, James says he was shocked to be named Fundraiser of the Year at the Pride of Birmingham Awards.
"When I got the phone call, I was absolutely gobsmacked," he says. "I never set out to be a huge inspiration. I set out to recover and to make a difference.
"I'm collecting the award of behalf of everyone who has helped me through this process. All I do is ride the bike.
