Purpose-Driven Brands Helping Parents Become Homeschool Heroes
As parents, we are trained for moments of everyday greatness. It's already a tough job to be a working, cleaning, cooking, caring parent, and now the global pandemic has given way to a new challenge—homeschooling your children.
Schools in over 100 countries are closed to protect against the spread of coronavirus, affecting the education of nearly 1 billion children. With homeschooling taking the place of the classroom, a new reality has emerged where parents bear the responsibility to maintain, supplement, and bolster new and engaging ways for children to learn amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.
For parents with essential jobs and those attempting to maintain full-time jobs from home, at-home learning has become a challenge that causes many to rethink how our society organizes and views education. Media habits are changing, and now more than ever, parents and kids are relying on brands whose authentic purpose is uniquely suited to support their cause in this moment of need—to go from Super Parent to Homeschool Hero.
Good content is a premium
So what's working and what's not?
We hear stories every day of families reconnecting in new and creative ways with their kids during this time of social distancing measures. And despite the renewed popularity in long forgotten board games and puzzles, the age of digital entertainment is squarely upon us and the search for quality content is increasingly important for parents.
Content on paid services like Netflix, Hulu, and even Disney+ are being exhausted, leading parents to seek new and educational ways to bridge the gap between the school environment, the typical rigors of learning and our current "safer at home" reality. In fact, with kids staying home from school, it is no surprise that daytime viewing of the top children's networks is up 31% over the same time last year.
Redefining what is the new normal with kids at home is challenging but manageable if we can remember a few simple ideas that bring education, entertainment and quality time together, while parents remain calm, cool and collected.
What Does A Pandemic Mean For Our Children?
American Children Are Learning At Home
Children's Daytime TV Viewing Up
Brands living up to their purpose
With everyone sheltered at home, time-honored brands of quality content have become increasingly relevant in the context of a global pandemic. The San Diego Zoo showcases numerous live videos daily of their favorite animals while Google Earth has launched virtual tours of 31 of the world's most incredible national parks so you can "travel" to exotic places right from your living room.
Older children are enjoying Mo Williams Lunch Doodles and keeping active with Go Noodle's mindfulness and movement. From a content perspective, Nickelodeon, which has seen a surge in TV ratings, has launched #KidsTogether, that focuses on favorite characters like SpongeBob washing his hands, teachable quirks and important messages. And for those who may not subscribe, many channels like Noggin for preschoolers, are offering a few months free.
Remember how much we all loved Scholastic books? Since we can't run to our school's book fair, it's heartening to know that their new free digital learning hub includes writing, reading and geography challenges designed specifically for each age group, as well as virtual field trips that can transport kids to interesting places. This new digital community called Scholastic Home Base is just what kids need when parents are trying to work and combat the "I'm bored" mentality during the day.
Another impressive educational program launch has been PBS's At-Home-Learning geared for children. On a local level, PBS Wisconsin and Milwaukee PBS have announced an ambitious partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to bring equitable education into every home to support at-home learning for students and families who may not have access to internet and online learning. This proves to be a win for all sides—Milwaukee PBS who is uniquely suited to deliver value with its partners, as well as the general public who yearns for education, entertainment, and inspiration they can rely on.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and each PBS station has stepped up to provide a schedule of educational programs geared to children from pre-K through 12. Milwaukee PBS is proud to have partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to provide content to inform and educate young students who are at home."
—Bohdan Zachary,
Vice President and General Manager
Milwaukee PBS
A new brand landscape
The world, as we know it, is very much still in flux. The road to "new normal" will traverse many challenges presented by "middle normal" before reaching its destination.
When the pandemic is over, there will be a search for proof among the outcomes and lessons learned (literally) from this sudden experiment in homeschooling. Many will ask: Have our best efforts been good enough, and have my efforts to homeschool and surround my child with learning and enrichment upheld the standards of "normal education?"
We should all take heart and notice: The brands that have always supported parents by living their purpose are finding new ways to engage in an ever-changing digital and social environment. These brands are models for other organizations whose marketing leadership grapples with the question: How do we continue living our core brand purpose in a world where technology, social stability, and short and long term priorities are shifting faster than ever?

When chocolate first entered the mainstream global market from the boats of the Spanish, it took the world only a century before chocolate was being served in cafes and occupying the minds of children walking past candy shops. However, while in today's society chocolate is iterated in forms ranging from puddings, cereals and candy bars, there is one form of chocolate that is often overlooked and overshadowed by its sweeter and more popular peers – dark chocolate.
That isn't to say that dark chocolate is a bad chocolate – quite the contrary actually. Dark chocolate contains many positive benefits and has a long history of being consumed before being ousted by its sweetened siblings. Though what usually puts people off from trying is its signature bitter taste and strong flavours. However, just like how a child learns to love broccoli your palate can be convinced to love the earthy flavours of dark chocolate, and with a better understanding of what's so good about it, you might be a better convinced to give it a try!
When trying to differentiate chocolate, the first thing you should always take note of is how the different amounts of ingredients collaborate to create different types of chocolate. Just like how Lattes, Americanos, and Espressos are made from using different amounts of milk, coffee and water, different types of chocolate are made by using different amounts of cocoa (which is roasted cacao/kakao seeds), milk and sugar. Other variants include ingredients such as caramel, fruits, and nuts.
Dark chocolate has a much lower percentage of sugar and milk than regular chocolate, if any at all. This makes it a much better option against regular chocolate and gives it a more full-bodied and robust flavour. But its real value comes from its health and beauty benefits. For health benefits, dark chocolate is a good source of anti-oxidants, which fight off cancer-causing free radicals in your food. Dark chocolate also reduces your risk factor for heart disease by lowering your low-density lipoprotein count (the bad kind of cholesterol) and reducing your insulin resistance. Dark chocolate also improves your blood circulation, increasing neurological function.
On the beauty side of things, dark chocolate just so happens to almost perfectly counter one of beauty's greatest nemeses – stress. Stress, as we've all come to familiarise ourselves with, prevents your skin cells from regenerating naturally, and chocolate helps to reduce these stress hormones. Anyone who disagrees should imagine munching on a luscious piece of rich, velvety smooth chocolate as it slowly melts and coats your tongue. If that image hasn't reduced your stress even by a little bit, you might not be a chocolate person! Besides helping your skin regenerate, dark chocolate contains flavanols, which help protect your skin against UV damage and conditions like sunburn. Also, remember how dark chocolate helps blood circulation? This circulation helps with your scalp, which ultimately improves your hair growth and health while reducing hair loss.
When selecting your dark chocolate, the first thing you should always consider is the amount of Cocoa in it. The magic number to look for is 70%, as any higher might be a little too bitter for your palate (percentages above 85% cocoa are usually used for cooking and baking), but If you find that your tongue is digging the bitter taste you can always try going for higher percentages. There are some who would just add pure baking chocolate with a bowl of fruit to make a tangy, rich, after-dinner dessert.
Once you've located the "above 70% club", you should definitely consider taste, because many are often taken by surprise by how bitter dark chocolate can be. This of course is completely natural for someone who has been eating sweetened candy bars for all their life. It might take a little time to ease yourself into the habit of eating dark chocolate, but once your taste buds get used to it, you might see yourself buying more and more dark chocolate as the days go by. If you find yourself put off at first, consider easing yourself in with dark chocolate bars mixed with fruits and nuts before trying the purer varieties.
Finally you should consider the portion of chocolate that you consume every day. Even though it's good for you, dark chocolate – like everything else in life – should be taken in moderation. The recommended amount by many is a 1-ounce square piece a day (about 30 grams). Of course to many this might seem a little anti-climatic – all that trouble to switch, and only one or two pieces a day! Ironically, that's also another reason why dark chocolate is so well received – it is supremely satisfying. Unlike milk chocolate, it doesn't contain high amounts of sugar, preventing you from getting that "one-more-piece" craving you normally get when other chocolates. It doesn't encourage you to eat more after having a piece, while still hitting all the right spots with rich chocolatey indulgence.
So whether you consider yourself a chocoholic, or just would like to try something new, consider grabbing a bar of dark chocolate on your next grocery trip. Just be mindful that you're buying what many consider a fine wine – you need to train your palate to appreciate dark chocolate (especially if this is your first time). With that said, the beauty and health benefits definitely make this a worthwhile switch, and you can feel good about yourself and satisfying those chocolate cravings!


AIG – Who Insures the Insurers?
Following the financial crisis of 2008, the financial industry suffered backlash from the public following a historic and infamous series of events that threatened America's economy. From media pundits to organized efforts such as the "Occupy: Wall Street" movement, there has been a continual protest against the 'injustice' and corruption of greed that supposedly plagues large financial institutions. However, many Americans rely on financial services for retirement savings, investment opportunities, the ability to get a mortgage and more. Despite the complexity of many financial systems, which may be simply understood by the general public, the causes of the crisis held blame with those behind-the-scenes, and an ethical analysis can bring these actors and their decisions to light and provide a clear picture of what was done wrong and why. Looking into AIG, a major player in the financial crisis, a history of ethically questionable management can be seen, with blatantly unethical choices leading underlying collapse of the financial system in 2008.


Australia is a world leader in the export of high quality red meat and commercial livestock. Our industry is committed to producing safe, high-quality beef and lamb which is enjoyed by customers in more than 90 different markets around the world.
Australia's abundance of natural grazing land and strict government regulations allow livestock to be pasture raised, without the use of additives such as antibiotics or hormones. Its geographically isolated location as a separate continent contributes to Australia's internationally recognised status of being free of all major livestock epidemic diseases.
MLA has helped to pioneer state-of-the-art electronic tracking systems that allow Australian red meat to be traced back to its farm of origin. When customers purchase meat from Australia, they are receiving products from one of the safest and most stringently controlled meat industries in the world.
Good animal welfare practice is a legal requirement in Australia.
The Australian red meat and livestock industry is committed to the highest level of animal welfare and the humane treatment of livestock. Australian farmers comply with rigorous standards and systems in place at every stage of the supply chain.
Livestock handling and processing is conducted in accordance with national laws and international requirements, and enforced accordingly by state, territory and commonwealth inspectors to ensure high standards are maintained at all times.
With this in mind, farmers recognise their responsibility to sustainably manage the environment. Australia is one of the most efficient producers of quality livestock in the world, allowing us to feed our own population and some of the growing global population. We can respond to the needs of our overseas customers with fully traceable, high quality, clean and safe red meat products. MLA invests up to A$5.7 million a year in environment and sustainability research and development projects. This investment aims to help producers improve the short and long-term environmental credentials of their business, while boosting productivity. It also assists producers in ensuring community expectations of responsible land stewardship and management are met.

Lord Vishnu incarnated Varaha Avatar in Sat- Yug to help mother earth. One day Lord Brahma's four sons came to meet Lord Vishnu at his abode – Vaikunth. Since Lord Vishnu was resting at that time, the two guards named Jaya and Vijaya stopped them from entering the gates.Lord Brahma's sons were very angry and they cursed Jaya and Vijaya to be born as humans on earth. Guards pleaded them but Lord Brahma's son wouldn't listen.
Hiranyaksha was a great devotee of Lord Brahma. He worshiped him for years and in return Lord Brahma gave him a boon. According to the boon no God, human, Asura, devta ,animal or beast would kill him. Hiranyaksha started torturing the people on earth as he was assured of his immortality. His powers grew by the day.He was such a giant that mother earth trembled when he walked and the sky cracked when he shouted.
He started harassing devtas and invaded Indra's palace. Fearing for their life devtas took shelter in the caves of mountain ranges of earth. To harass devtas, Hiranyaksha grabbed earth and submerged it in paatal lok. Mother Earth sank to the bottom of the ocean. At that time Manu and his wife Shatarupa ruled over earth.
Emitting a terrifying roar, he (Lord Vishnu in the form of Boar) took one mighty leap into the air and tore the clouds with its hoofs and dived to the bed of ocean in search of Mother earth. He reached the other end of the ocean and discovered in its depths Bhoomidevi ( Mother Earth).
Suddenly Narad arrived there. Hiranyaksha asked him, "Do you know the whereabouts of Vishnu?" Narad told him that Lord Vishnu was in the ocean rescuing Mother Earth. Angry Hiranyaksha charged towards the ocean -bed.
Hiranyaksha challenged Lord Vishnu in the Boar form to have battle with him but Vishnu ignored all his warnings and continued rising to the surface. Seeing this Hiranyaksha gave a chase, but the boar didn't even looked back.
Hiranyaksha said, "Wait! You impostor! I know you can defeat all with your magic power but at present you are near me and I'll surely defeat you." The boar escaped to put mother earth at a safe place.
Hiranyaksha it began to tremble more.
Lord Vishnu in Varaha avatar brought earth over the surface of ocean and placed it gently on it's axis and blessed her. He then turned to face Hiranyaksha. The demon threw his mace at the boar but the boar stepped aside and raised his mace. They fought for a long time with their mace.
Now Brahmaji warned Vishnu, "You've only an hour before the sunset. Destroy the demon before it's dark so that he gets no opportunity to resort his black magic." Hearing Brahma's word's Hiranyaksha hurled his mace towards Lord Vishnu but later flung it away. Having lost the mace, Hiranyaksha began hitting out with his fists on the chest of the boar.
* Why did Lord Vishnu take the boar avatar? Because among all the animals Hiranyaksha forgot to mention boar as an animal, and Lord Vishnu took this form to kill him.

1. The replacement needle is shipped inside a small cylindrical stainless steel "needle holder" that is used to guide the needle through the flanged needle screw and ferrule. Is this piece meant to be left in place and tightened on the ferrule, or is it meant to be merely a guide to protect the needle as you are aligning it? That is, after the new needle is in place, should it be just the needle itself or the needle surrounded by this stainless steel sheath as well?
2. The ferrule is extremely soft and snapped (not just once but twice!) as I tightened it. The video says to tighten one quarter to one half turn beyond finger tight, but enough to hold the needle in place. In order to hold the needle (with holder above) in place, I had to turn more than one half turn, thus weakening the ferrule. Any tricks, suggestions?
Sorry you are having issues. What kind of nebulizer are you using? The old style with lock nut, a torx/set screw or one with hex set screw. Are you using the video from the 6100 Resource DVD?
1.There is a little wire inside the needle that needs to be removed after putting through ferrule.
2. Once you get the ferrule on, slide needle through needle holder, push the needle into the ferrule until the needle is slightly visible, flush with the end of ferrule. Reinstall locknut and union, hand tighten the union onto the guide and ferrule. using a wrench hold needle holder steady. Turn union 1/2 to 3/4 turn. You should not have to go more than this. You should hear a little squeak when ferrule is compressed. Bring lock down onto the union. Check the needle by gently pulling on it.
3.We don't have schematics, but curious which video you are using and which alignment jig?
Thank you for your responses. I am using the old style with lock nut. The video is one that the tech copied to the desktop when he installed the equipment originally (back in 2007). I have since seen a new one when I called tech support for help. Your answer with response to the needle makes sense; I wasn't sure why there was a thin wire (I mistakenly thought that was the needle) because it's not mentioned in the directions. The new needle flange that they sent has a different design then the original; it already has a nut that is fused to the part and so it's not like the original which had a nut that screwed on (below the union). I am not using an alignment jig (although I do have a stainless steel block to hold the ESI needle when I removed it from the interface), is this something that is critical to use and what is the part number? I can see the tip of the needle because I am using a microscope to view it, so is it necessary or just convenient?
There is an up to date video uploaded on the Agilent community. It has the part number for the Jig.

Recap: Top Chef Casting Call
By Amanda M. Faison • February 23, 2012
Yesterday, 30-some Top Chef wannabes gathered at Linger to hand in their multipage applications and nab face time with Magical Elves Inc. senior casting producer Hunter Braun.
They came from as far away as Texas and Utah, but the bulk of the hopefuls were from the Mile High City and the mountains. Denver, which joined New York City, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and San Francisco, was the wild card for open calls. "Denver is really becoming a foodie city, and we've had previous chefs [Season Five winner Hosea Rosenberg and Season Seven finalist Kelly Liken] who have done well from here," says Braun. "I've been pushing to come to Denver for a while."
Which is why I was disappointed so few folks lined up. Denver has deep kitchen talent, and I'm always one for showcasing what we've got. That said, it was an impressive roundup of cooks who did turn out. In addition to a roster of Frank Bonanno-trained chefs (from Luca d'Italia's Hunter Pritchett to Marty Steinke, who is currently on the line at Linger), sous chef Matt Vawter from Fruition was there because he loves competition. This sixth-generation Coloradan's biggest worry? He doesn't fit the mold of a typical Top Chef character. "I'm all business, I'm not about gimmicks—I just cook."
When I asked Josh Hall, the executive chef at Le Petit Paris in Breckenridge, how he feels about dessert (a task that often sends a chef-testant home), he says he's comfortable with a couple sweets but "it's the one you want to avoid. You don't want to go out on a dessert."
Chef Kurt Boucher (a one-time competitor on Iron Chef and formerly of Satchel's on Sixth and the Butcher's Table in Salida) says his high-end homestyle cooking most parallels that of Kevin Gillespie, a Season Six finalist. And, with a local restaurant in the works—he wouldn't divulge details just yet—he says he's trying out for many reasons, not the least of which is the winnings. "I'm here for the money—I'm opening a restaurant."
Given how male-dominated the cooking field is, I wasn't surprised to find that most of those who showed up were men. But I did chat with Jenica Flippo from Aria. She describes her cooking as foundational but innovative–and she cited the example of taking something traditional like risotto but making it with sushi rice. Overall, she said, she's excited about the Top Chef opportunity because it will be a challenge and "it's a chance to learn."
Rumor Mill: Though we won't know for months whether a Colorado chef (or chefs) lands on the show, Braun did hint that there might a local presence on Around the World in 80 Plates, a new Bravo show that airs in May. Consider it a mash-up of Top Chef and the Amazing Race—and it's hosted by super chefs Cat Cora and Curtis Stone.

Tope Folarin's debut novel is titled A Particular Kind of Black Man and is set for a summer 2019 release by American publisher Simon and Schuster.
Folarin became one of the break out stars of African literature in 2013 after he won the Caine Prize for African Writing. His winning short story titled "Miracle" is a mesmerizing account of a little boy's life in a small town in Utah.
"I've waited a long time to say this: I have finished my novel. It's called A Particular Kind of Black Man, and it will be out next summer from Simon & Schuster. I've never worked harder on anything in my life, and I'm so very proud of it.
A Particular Kind of Black Man tells the story of Tunde Akinola and his struggle to make sense of his new life in America.
Living in small-town Utah has always been an uneasy fit for Tunde Akinola's family, especially for his Nigeria-born parents. Though Tunde speaks English with a Midwestern accent, he can't escape the children who rub his skin and ask why the black won't come off. As he struggles to fit in and find his place in the world, he finds little solace from his parents who are grappling with their own issues.
Tunde's father, ever the optimist, works tirelessly chasing his American dream while his wife, lonely in Utah without family and friends, sinks deeper into schizophrenia. Then one otherwise-ordinary morning, Tunde's mother wakes him with a hug, bundles him and his baby brother into the car, and takes them away from the only home they've ever known.
But running away doesn't bring her, or her children, any relief from the demons that plague her; once Tunde's father tracks them down, she flees to Nigeria, and Tunde never feels at home again. He spends the rest of his childhood and young adulthood searching for connection—to the wary stepmother and stepbrothers he gains when his father remarries; to the Utah residents who mock his father's accent; to evangelical religion; to his Texas middle school's crowd of African-Americans; to the fraternity brothers of his historically black college. In so doing, he discovers something that sends him on a journey away from everything he has known.
Sweeping, stirring, and perspective-shifting, A Particular Kind of Black Man is a beautiful and poignant exploration of the meaning of memory, manhood, home, and identity as seen through the eyes of a first-generation Nigerian-American.
The novel promises to be a significant contribution to the rich and expansive collection of novels exploring the lives of African immigrants in America. We can't wait to see what new perspective Folarin brings to the challenges Africans face in their struggle to carve out a space of existence in American society.
Folarin is a gifted storyteller with a distinct lyrical style that draws readers in. We are excited to read his new offering.
Stay tuned for more news about the book's release.


While the economy has returned to a positive trajectory since late-2009, the recession has had a severe and continued impact on the labor market. As is seen in figure 1, employment growth has been significantly slower than GDP growth since the beginning of the recovery. Total payroll employment, while recovering gradually, has still not recovered to pre-crisis levels.
The economy is creating jobs, but too many Americans remain without work. In June 2013, almost 195,000 new jobs were added to the economy. On average, the economy has created 182,000 new jobs per month over the previous 12 months (which is 109% greater than the 2007 average of 93,000)1. Of these net jobs added, 58% (113,000 jobs) were occupied by women.
While the private sector continues to generate employment, government, at both the federal and state level, is shedding jobs. Over the past year, jobs in the federal government declined by 65,000. From May to June 2013, federal government employment declined by 5,000, while state government employment declined more sharply by 15,000 jobs. These public sector job losses were partly offset by gains in local government employment, which rose by 13,000 jobs in June 2013.
The vast majority of job creation is occurring within services industries, rather than in the production of goods. In fact, manufacturing lost 6,000 jobs during June (figure 2). Within the services sector, most of the job gains have been in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, retail trade, health care, and financial activities. Educational services, on the other hand, lost 10,600 jobs in June.
While jobs have been lost in the manufacturing sector, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), reported by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), rose by 1.9% from May to June. A tracking of the PMI indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector for the fifth time in the first six months of 2013. In keeping with the findings of the BLS, the ISM also finds that employment within manufacturing contracted in June 2013.
Work hours have remained stable, while real wages declined in June, particularly for production workers. The average workweek for all employees stood at 34.5 hours and went unchanged over the month of June. Real average weekly earnings fell by 0.1% (22 cents) during June, while real average hourly earnings showed no change. From June 2012 to June 2013, real average hourly earnings rose by 0.4% (4 cents) and real average weekly earnings rose by 0.7% ($2.47).
For production and nonsupervisory employees, earnings fell more steeply. Real average hourly earnings and real average weekly earnings each fell by 0.3% (by 3 cents and 94 cents, respectively) during June. Though these workers have seen an average increase of .2% in real hourly and weekly earnings over the previous 12 months, this is considerably less than the 0.7% increase seen by the total workforce.
The unemployment rate conceals labor underutilization in the US economy. The unemployment rate remained constant at 7.6% from May to June. However, the official unemployment rate systematically underestimates the jobs deficit by excluding certain categories of workers. When accounting for discouraged workers (i.e. persons who have dropped out of the labor force because they believe no jobs are available to them), the unemployment rate jumps from 7.6% to 8.2% (figure 3). When accounting for other marginally attached workers (i.e. individuals not in the labor force, who wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the previous 12 months), the unemployment rate increases to 9.1%. Including discouraged, marginally attached, and involuntary part-time workers (i.e. individuals working part time because their hours had been cut back or they were unable to find a full-time job) nearly doubles the official unemployment rate to 14.3%.
The number of unemployed persons has declined from 12.7 million in June 2012 to 11.8 million in June of 2013. Much of this decline is due to a drop in long-term unemployment (i.e. those who have been unemployed for more than 27 consecutive weeks). Of total unemployment, the percentage of long-term unemployed decreased significantly in the past year - from 41.7% in June 2012 to 36.7% in June 2013 (figure 4). However, the share of long-term unemployment of total unemployment remains more than twice the June 2007 level of 16.4%.
Unemployment is a greater challenge within specific demographic groups, particularly ethnoracial minorities and young workers. Men are unemployed at a higher rate (7.8%) than women (7.3%). The unemployment rates for African-Americans (13.7%) and Hispanics (9.1%) also remain substantially higher than for whites (6.6%) and Asians (5%).
As described above, the United States has witnessed moderate yet uneven job creation over the past three years since the Great Recession. Job growth is reflected in the employment-population ratio, which is the proportion of working adults among the total adult population. This ratio declined significantly during the recession, from 62.7 in December 2007 to 59.4 in June 2009 (figure 5). While it began to recover in December 2009, it has remained relatively constant since then – only increasing by 0.2 points from March 2010 to June 2013.
On the other hand, the unemployment rate declined by 2.3 percentage points over the same period. These competing trends indicate that a large share of the decline in the unemployment rate is due to a drop in labor force participation. Although unemployed persons have reentered the labor force at an average of 3.4 million per month since March 2010, there has been no significant net gain in the proportion of employed adults to the total population. The current employment-to-population ratio stands at 58.7 – far below pre-recession levels.
1Net jobs added in April 2013 was revised upward from 149,000 to 199,000, and the change for May was revised from 175,000 to 195,000. With these revisions, employment gains in April and May combined were 70,000 higher than previously reported by the BLS.

I recently came across a wonderful website called BookCrossing. It's a simple idea, well executed.
The notion is that you take a book you've just read, register it on the BookCrossing website – and then leave it somewhere. After that, 'the world takes over'. Someone picks up the book, reads it and then passes it on – after logging where it's been read on the BookCrossing website.
The person who first released the book into the wild can track the book as it travels around. Great fun.
I liked the idea so much that I've decided to release three copies of The Well. The first copy has already been claimed and I'm told will be on its way to Florida in a few weeks. I'm offering a second copy via Twitter and Facebook – if that isn't claimed within a few days, I'll be leaving it at a railway station in London when I visit there at the weekend. The final copy I've made available to users of BookCrossing to claim.
Update: the second copy is now on its way to Italy.
There's an added twist. As well as including BookCrossing's instructional stickers (so that people picking up the book don't think it's been accidentally left), I'm also adding another sticker – asking people to take their picture, with The Well, in front of any kind of landmark. Any pictures I receive will be posted on this website.
I think it will be interesting to watch the book travel around and I really like the way that BookCrossing makes reading fun – and free! In an era where printed books are starting to feel the squeeze, this is a great way of passing around some love for paper.

When I dream, it looks like the Target Dollar Spot.
What's sad is I'm not even kidding! You walk in, needing only toilet paper or shampoo, and you walk out the proud owner of a desk organizer, gold arrow pushpins and 8 packs of tissue paper you obviously need. Or at least, that's what your brain high on Target air wants you to believe!
This past weekend, I fell down the Dollar Spot rabbit hole, and four beautiful notepads and pen packs later, I emerged in the book section, staring straight at the Target Exclusive Special Edition Fangirl. But try as you might, you definitely can't tell me that those pretty pencils and chic notepads don't match perfectly with my brand new shelf candy! I'm weak when it comes to the newest pen duo or Thank You note design, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
So what are you waiting for?? Get out there and fall madly in love with the Dollar Spot's office stationery! Happy Reading!
What is a niche blog without a holiday gift guide? Not much, I can assure you! I'm happy to introduce the very first Novels and Nail Polish Gift Guide for book worms and polish lovers alike. ENJOY!
Litographs The Great Gatsby Book Poster ($24) – A good book is a work of art, but this takes it to a whole different level! The Litographs book posters use the text of classic novels and turn them into a gorgeous, visual display of the book. Grab this for the artsy-fartsy book nerds in your life!
Litographs Temporary Book Tattoo ($5/set of 2) – I adore these temporary tattoos from Litographs! I joined the lucky group of backers for their tattoo Kickstarter campaign, and am now a part of the world's longest temporary tattoo chain. These tattoos are made to be entertainment quality, just like the ones makeup artists use in the movies and TV shows. They apply easily, and if you're a commitment-phobe, you'll finally be able to live out your tattoo dreams!
Nails Inc Winter Wonderland ($29) – There are two main reasons I love NailsInc. One, the polishes apply beautifully. Two, their new bottles are absolutely gorgeous! I definitely bought this set for myself on Black Friday, and it is perfection for the holidays! For ladies that want to sparkle and shine their way through December, these are a must!
Rifle Paper Co. Puffin in Bloom Collection ($16 each) – Those who are familiar with my previous post about cover redesigns know my love for the Anna Bond designed covers runs deep! Whether you're looking for shelf candy or actually want to read these classics, they're a must-have for any serious book collector.
Fangirl ($19) + Mint Polish in Original Mint ($12) – If you love YA Fiction, chances are you love Rainbow Rowell, or have at least heard of her. She's written a handful of incredibly popular and moving stories, and Fangirl was the first, and favorite, I've read of hers! The cover is the perfect mint, so it's no surprise that I paired it with Mint Polish's Original Mint! I am a huge fan of this brand and their products, and if you're going for mint, why wouldn't you grab it from a company who shares the name?!
I'll Give You The Sun ($18) + Essie Polishes in Capri, In The Cab-ana & Blanc ($8.50) – I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson was one of the most highly anticipated YA novels of the fall. It's two stories in one, each half told by a brother and sister. It's high on my TBR list, especially because I already have a couple of great ideas for a cover-inspired manicure! I paired Essie polishes with it because the brand is one of my go-to lacquers. White, aqua and orange effectively capture the essence of the cover, without looking like a circus!
AngeliqueInk Custom Book Stamp ($40) – I received this stamp for my birthday six months ago, and it quickly became one of my prized bookworm possessions. The simple type paired with the custom hand-lettered calligraphy embodies everything I love in design. Stamps like this will bring the biggest smile to any book hoarder in your life!
R. Nichols READ Candle ($45) – How many people would raise their hand if I asked who loves the smell of libraries and old books? A TON, I'm sure. If you're one of those bibliophiles, this beautiful book candle will be the perfect addition to your reading nook!
ThinkGeek Book Pillows ($10) – Pillows are important, but they're not all created equal. That's where these ThinkGeek book pillows come in! This set is their holiday collection, and they're completely and totally necessary for your next all-night read-a-thon!
Hogwarts Travel Posters ($15 each) – Harry Potter. Minimalist travel posters. Enough said, my friends.
Tell me, what's on your Christmas list? I'm always looking for more book/nail polish things to add to my already massive collections! Happy Reading!
Once upon a time, a fair maiden lived in the enchanted southern region of California. She longed to see something she'd only heard tell of in her mother's stories: Autumn. You see, where she lived, there was only one season: warm. But she knew there was a way to make her dream a reality, by making the pilgrimage to the mystical Tree of Fall.
And you know what? She did just that, and there she was rewarded with leaves of scarlet, gold and orange. She was filled with joy and contentment , and she lived happily ever after.
The 'once upon a time' of that story was this past weekend, the magical princess is me and the 'Tree of Fall' is the ONLY tree on my street that makes it look like November. All I wanted was a few pictures of my new TBR list additions with the pretty fall leaves, but that's a tall order in SoCal. All of the damn leaves by my house are GREEN, just as the sky is still blue. But I found the perfect tree, which allowed me to take the perfect pictures.
Have you read either of these contemporaries? I'd love to hear what you think of them! Happy Reading!


The mystery and majesty of Machu Picchu – Peru's Lost City of the Incas – have drawn visitors for generations. And as Peru celebrates the 100th anniversary of the rediscovery of the ruins this year, awareness and interest is sure to pick up.
A legendary way to access Machu Picchu is by hiking the Inca Trail, one of the world's most famous and memorable hikes. However with access limited only to those with a trail permit, some would-be travellers may be disappointed – unless they book with Intrepid Travel. The worldwide sustainable-travel company is the first company to announce that it will guarantee you a coveted Inca Trail permit when you book any of its 40 itineraries that feature Machu Picchu. All you have to do is book by January 31, 2012 on any of Intrepid's 2012 departures. As there are only 200 permits in total issued worldwide per day, this represents a rare opportunity.
In the event that Intrepid Travel is unable to obtain a permit for the dates you wish to travel (and no tour operator is able to pre-purchase or bulk purchase Inca Trail permits), they'll be pleased to offer compensation by way of a $100 discount off any itinerary featuring their new Inca Quarry Trail trek. Coming in at 23 kms (compared to the 43 km Inca Trail), the Quarry Trail offers trekkers the chance to hike through breathtaking landscapes and past lesser-known Inca archaeological sites. The Quarry Trail, which does not require a permit, has been incorporated into a number of Intrepid's Peru itineraries.
Intrepid Travel specializes in small group travel (averaging 10 passengers) which permits Intrepid guests to get off the beaten path, staying in alternative accommodation such as small family-run inns, travelling in unusual ways such as local public transit, and getting to know the local people.
For further information, visit www.intrepidtravel.com/peru or call 416-531-1332/8666-360-1151. Reservations are also available through any travel agent.

After dating online for two years, Brooke, 17, and Austin, 19, are getting married. The fact that they've only met in person once before doesn't seem to matter. Their very different personalities don't either. Brooke's laidback parents understand since they married at the same age. But Austin's more traditional parents aren't as understanding. And when Brooke flies across the country for the wedding, she isn't exactly thrilled with her new digs. So Austin plans a fun night out with his female friends, thinking they'll be her bridesmaids since she doesn't have any friends of her own there. But with the big day a week away, and her parents on the way, the couple starts questioning whether they should go through with the ceremony!


PhD students will be able to apply for a further leave of 12 months under the Doctorate Extension Scheme (Tier 4).
An application for the Doctorate Extension Scheme (DES) must be made from within the UK - you cannot apply for it from overseas. You can only apply if you have valid Tier 4 student immigration permission at the time you make this application. The fee for this application is the same as a Tier 4 student extension application, and you would apply as though you are applying for a Tier 4 visa, but make sure you tick the box on the form to confirm you are applying for the DES.
The visa will be granted for a period of 12 months from your expected course end date as stated on the new CAS. You will not be able to make a further application under this scheme but you may extend your stay under Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the point based immigration system if you meet the requirements. More information can be found on the Tier 4 DES FAQs. Unlike Tier 4, the DES will allow you to be self-employed or work as an entertainer, but you still cannot work as a professional sportsperson or coach or as a doctor or dentist in training.
The application needs to be made under Tier 4 and to be sponsored by City, University of London.
You need to complete an online Tier 4 Student form and pay your fee before printing off your application and sending it to the Home Office with your supporting documents.
£457 (from 6 April 2017) by post or £1,047 (from 6 April 2017) in person, plus £150 per year for health surcharge. We encourage you to read our Immigration Health Surcharge FAQs.
CAS can only be assigned within 60 days prior your expected PhD award date (2 months from your correction deadline). Please email the International Student Advice team to request a CAS for your Doctorate Extension Scheme application.
You need to demonstrate that you have held at least £2,530 in your bank account for a minimum of 28 days before making your application. More information about Tier 4 and funds can be found under the Tier 4 student visa pages.
The government has confirmed that ATAS is not required for DES applicants.

The Playoffs stage of ESL One Birmingham 2018 is starting today and only 6 of the initial 12 teams are left in the tournament. The stakes are high for at least 2 of these teams (Fnatic and OpTic Gaming), who have a real chance of climbing into the top 8 within the Dota Pro Circuit rankings. All they need to do is reach the Grand Final and their direct invite to The International is almost assured.
The Playoffs stage of ESL One Birmingham 2018 is scheduled to take place between May 25th – 27th and the 6 matches it features will no doubt offer a great show.
The very presence of paiN Gaming in the Playoffs of ESL One Birmingham 2018 is a miracle. PaiN Gaming entered this tournament as a complete outsider who had 0 points in the Dota Pro Circuit rankings. And it had to get a top 2 finish in a group with 3 theoretically stronger opponents: Team Liquid, Vici Gaming and OG. Shockingly enough, the group was won by OG and paiN Gaming finished 2nd after 2 victories against the TI 7 champions, Team Liquid.
Mineski got 2nd place in group C by losing to OpTic Gaming and defeating LGD.Forever Young twice. Overall, Mineski is sitting at number 5 in the Dota Pro Circuit rankings table with 3150 points. That alone should make them clear favorites to win this match. However, based on what we've seen so far from paiN Gaming and given the disproportionate odds, you should definitely consider rooting for the underdog in this match.
Match prediction: paiN Gaming to win given a +1.5 maps advantage.
OG started to show signs of recovery at the previous tournament, MDL Changsha Major, where it got 3rd place in group A by defeating teams like Mineski. At ESL One Birmingham 2018, OG won group B with victories over paiN Gaming and Vici Gaming. And even though it failed to qualify directly for the Semifinals by losing against both Virtus.pro and OpTic Gaming in the first place decider matches, OG is still much stronger than most people anticipated before the event.
Fnatic has everything to play for in this match which it will very likely win, considering its great recent form and its formidable roster. The Southeast Asian team is currently sitting at number 12 within the Dota Pro Circuit rankings with 1040 points. At ESL One Birmingham 2018, Fnatic finished 2nd in a difficult group A, defeating Evil Geniuses and Team Spirit but losing against Virtus.pro.
This may turn out to be a very close match, although the odds clearly indicate that everyone expects Fnatic to win. No doubt, Abed and his teammates have a high chance of doing that but they will most likely need 3 games to get the job done. A 2 – 0 result in their favor seems quite improbable.
Match prediction: Fnatic to win.

Wang Sichao (王思潮; 1938 ou 1939 – ) était un astronome et chercheur chinois.

Opinions

Pluton
Avant son décès, Wang Sichao était chercheur à l'observatoire de la Montagne Pourpre de Nankin.

Dans une interview à l' Agence Chine nouvelle, il a déclaré à l'Union astronomique internationale lors du vote de 2006 sur le statut de Pluton en tant que planète :

Ovni
Le , Wang Sichao a déclaré qu'il pensait que la vie extraterrestre était une réalité et que des engins avaient la capacité de visiter la planète Terre. Il s'est cependant opposé au point de vue présenté par l'astronome britannique Stephen Hawking selon laquelle une rencontre entre les Terriens et des extraterrestres serait désastreuse.

Wang Sichao a fourni des données spécifiques aux observations d'ovnis : entre 130 et 1 500 kilomètres d'altitude, les observations d'ovnis sont nombreuses. Sichao note que les ovnis peuvent voler bien plus lentement que la première vitesse cosmique, et parfois même aussi lentement que 0,29 kilomètre par seconde, et qu'ils peuvent voler à l'altitude de 1 460 kilomètres pendant plus de 25 minutes. Il en conclut que ces ovnis sont libérés de la gravité.

Now Suzuki Alto can be cheaper by Rs100,000 endearing, vivid and striking
The government reduces taxes on cars below Suzuki Alto & others 850cc
Suzuki Alto 2021
In the financial year 2021-22, the government will reduce taxes and duties on cars with less than 850 cc engine size that are accumulated in Pakistan.
This will affect the prices of Suzuki Alto, Ravi, Bolan, Prince Pearl, and United States Bravo.
Imports of cars used in categories such as mine, Wagon R, Alto, and N-One are excluded from the tax.
Presenting the budget on Friday, Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen announced the details.
The Federal Excise Duty (FED) of 2.5% has been removed and the sales tax on vehicles below 850cc has been reduced from 17% to 12.5%, also called entry-level cars.

"Cars below 850cc could see a price reduction of around 5% or 6%," said Mashhood Khan, an auto sector analyst.
"For those who buy cars in this category, it will be a good price advantage." A 6% change in Alto's most varied price would amount to approximately Rs100,000.
Saeem Khan, a research analyst at BMA Capital, said the reduction in sales tax and holding tax (WHT) would directly benefit the buyer.

The sub-Alto variant is priced at Rs1,633,000. The change in sales tax will directly reduce its value by 63,000. Then WHT also has filers for non-filers and Rs7,500 for Rs15,000, which has been removed, "Khan said.
He added that the value-added tax has also been reduced and the cost for the VAT company has been reduced.
"Companies cannot fully accept the effects of FED and VAT because they would also like to increase their profits for shareholders," he said.
Ahmed Lakhani, another senior research analyst, said the impact of the tax and duty change would amount to around Rs100,000. But he doubts the car company will pass on the full low-cost amount to buyers.
A Suzuki spokesman said the company was waiting for full details to share details of the change in car prices.
Pak Suzuki's stock price rose significantly last Friday. After that the price suffered an upper lock which increased by 7.5% from Rs310 to Rs333 within a day.
If a stock price rises or falls significantly, up to 7.5% for Cody stocks (stocks below Rs20) or towards RS1, then their trades are suspended due to market panic.

mssv (Main Steam Stop Valve) is an American band featuring Mike Baggetta, Mike Watt (Minutemen) and Stephen Hodges.

History
Baggetta and Watt recorded Wall of Flowers with drummer Jim Keltner but after releasing it Keltner was averse to travel so Stephen Hodges was brought in to tour the album; Hodges had previously worked with Watt on the latter's second solo album, Contemplating The Engine Room. The resulting trio named themselves mssv and recorded a live album entitled Live Flowers. The album, recorded live at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia on March 28, 2019 consists largely of songs from Wall of Flowers with "Pink Room" from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, "No One Says Old Man (To The Old Man)" and "Liberty Calls!" from Watt's Contemplating the Engine Room and a cover of "Fun House" by The Stooges.

In February 2020, the band announced their intention to play the 2020 Big Ears Festival. The festival was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Soon after, mssv announced the postponement of their entire spring 2020 tour. In the same message the band revealed the September 2020 release of their first studio album on BIG EGO Records. The album would be released with the title Main Steam Stop Valve.

Q: LaTeX build server with git I have a LaTeX project in git, there is a makefile. So basically a server would have to do this:
git checkout master
make > logfile 2>&1

Given that I push into a repo on the server.
I could do this with a cron job, but it seems kind of missing the point. Is there some way to initiate this after I pushed via SSH?

A: You can do this in native git with a post-receive hook. Since you shouldn't be pushing to a non-bare repo, you'll need a script along the lines of this
#!/bin/sh
target="/tmp/math"
exec > "$target/$(date +%s)_$(uuidgen).log" 2>&1
mkdir -p "$target"
GIT_WORK_TREE="$target" git checkout -f
cd "$target"
make

Put that in hooks/post-receive inside the bare repo, and you should be all set (note that this will not create $TARGET_DIR, you'll have to do that manually)

"Blur toured North America for the second time that year [1992]. And just a year into the post-Nevermind world, flannel, disaffectedly mumbled lyrics, and buzzsaw guitars were the new normal. "Nothing in England counted and that really pissed us off," Albarn recalled in 1999. "So we decided to make a record as English as possible; a record full of English references and English cultural icons." Therein lies the irony of their breakthrough 1993 album, Modern Life Is Rubbish. Though it wouldn't hit big in America, it was conceived with the same spirit of roguish overthrow as Nevermind itself. Albarn's newfound articulateness was, actually, an act of punk rebellion, a sneering rejection of the status quo.

10 Songs To Introduce You To…Lou Reed


There's nothing like a magazine partnering with retailers for a big party to lure shoppers out in droves, as VOGUE proved with Fashion's Night Out. But while FNO fizzled, the third annual Metropolis at Metrotown x LOULOU Magazine is going stronger than ever. Last night, more than eighty retailers offered one-night-only discounts to hundreds of fashion-hungry spenders looking for deals. Complimentary beauty treatments, a candy bar, gift bags, and the chance to win gift cards only sweetened the deal.
This was my first time attending Shop 'Til You Drop. While many of the participating retailers skewed towards high schoolers, there was plenty of shopping for more sophisticated tastes far from the tweenie crowds. I seized the opportunity to check out Marc Jacobs nail polishes at Sephora and the new RiRi Loves MAC limited edition. My meandering led me to the minimalist cool girl clothes at OAK + FORT and some choice editor's picks at H&M. I also scoped out charms at Thomas Sabo and distinctive Hunter boots at Town Shoes.
Temptations abounded, but with the memory of the camera lens I'd splurged on earlier this week holding my purse strings in check, I refrained—that is, until I saw a green-and-blue tartan blazer from JACOB. With a 25% discount and a $25 gift card burning a hole in my pocket, it was a done deal. Thanks, Metropolis at Metrotown and LOULOU, for a fun night!
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed myself.

Explore the programs of FDR's New Deal during the Great Depression
Learn more about the program, known as the New Deal, launched by U.S. Pres. Franklin...
Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Article media libraries that feature this video: New Deal
SPEAKER 1: So today, I want to talk about the New Deal and I know it's a large topic. But I hope we can cover a little bit of it. My first question would be, what was the goal of the New Deal?
JEFF WALLENFELDT: So the New Deal is a domestic program of the administration of Franklin Roosevelt from 1933 to 1939. It was aimed at dealing with the problems of the Great Depression. It sought to bring immediate economic relief to folks who had lost their jobs. And it also sought to reform measures to the financial system to try to prevent a repetition of the stock market crash of 1929 and the bank failures that had contributed so much to the onset.
SPEAKER 1: And what were some of the initial policies that made up the New Deal?
JEFF WALLENFELDT: So one of the first things that Roosevelt did when he came into office in March of 1933 was declare a bank holiday, shutting down the banks for four days so that they could all be reevaluated and those that were solvent would be reopened, those that weren't solvent weren't reopened. And so just that step in itself, allowed the American people to have confidence in the banks, again. Economists and historians still debate whether the programs that were the Roosevelt administration created through the New Deal, they debate the success of those as far as ending the depression.
SPEAKER 1: Jeff, can you talk a little bit about some of the specific programs that made up the New Deal or were a part of the New Deal?
JEFF WALLENFELDT: Yes, so there were just a whole lot of programs. And they talked about them as being alphabet soup because they were really known by the acronyms of the program. So one of the best known is the Work Progress Administration known as the WPA. There were a lot of public works. So it was building roads, building bridges, building public buildings, working on transportation, places like airports, the LaGuardia Airport in New York. But underneath the WPA, there was also the Federal Writers' project, Theater Project, Federal Art project, and that's the sort of thing that we still see today.
Federal writers' project had the American Guide, which was a travel guide. Not really well known of the acronym's TVA, Tennessee Valley Authority. That was the construction of dams and then the implementation or the spreading of electrical power through seven states in the southeast of the United States. And TVA certainly still with us today.
SPEAKER 1: Along with those programs, can you talk a little bit about FDR's leadership and some of the other things he did in order to reassure the country that these programs were going to work.
JEFF WALLENFELDT: I think maybe these are things beyond the programs one of the most important things that Roosevelt provided was just calm, confident, empathetic leadership. He knew that Americans needed reassuring. And that started right from his first inauguration when he famously said the only thing that we have to fear is fear itself.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: Well, first of all, let me put my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
JEFF WALLENFELDT: It's something that he demonstrated through his fireside chats with the radio broadcast that started out as explanations of the New Deal policy, but they evolved into these intimate conversations between Roosevelt and the American people that reassured their fears and helped give them hope for the future.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: On a Sunday night, a week after my inauguration, I use the radio to tell you about the banking crisis and about the measures that we were taking to meet it. In that way, I tried to make clear to the country various facts that might otherwise have been misunderstood, and in general, to provide a means of understanding, which I believe that much to restore confidence.
SPEAKER 1: Along with these programs, reform also occurred in order to try to prevent disasters like this in the future. Can you talk a little about that?
JEFF WALLENFELDT: Yeah, so another of the early act was in 1933 was the Glass-Steagall Act or the Banking Act. And one of the things that did is that changed the way that the banks operated so that they weren't engaged in such risky practices and got them removed from stocks. And that also created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insured bank accounts. The securities that created the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is still in place and that regulated the way that the stock market operated.
SPEAKER 1: So Jeff, we're currently experiencing economic instability due to the pandemic. What do you think the Works Progress Administration would look like today? I guess at the end of the day, rebuilding infrastructure we still need to do that. But are there other industries now that you think we would have to put more attention into?
JEFF WALLENFELDT: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would certainly have an answer for you. And she would talk about the Green New Deal, which has a large economic aspect to it. But it also is very much about the response to the environment and replacing fossil fuels, and all those sort of jobs, and the infrastructure that would be created to go about doing that.
SPEAKER 1: Great. Well, Jeff, thanks for comparing these two and thanks for sharing your knowledge on the New Deal. And I hope that we can talk about some other topics soon.
JEFF WALLENFELDT: It's always a pleasure, Matt. Thanks.

City of Toronto honours front-line health care workers and proclaims Champions of Care Day
The City of Toronto is thanking all front-line health care workers for their unwavering dedication to saving lives, keeping people safe and for their heroic response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor John Tory has proclaimed today, September 14 as Champions of Care Day to honour all front-line health care workers serving our city. On this day we also pause to remember those workers who paid the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives to COVID-19.
Every day, thousands of front-line health workers play a crucial role in keeping our communities healthy and as safe as possible by providing life-saving service in clinics, centres and hospitals across the city.
All front-line health care workers including those employed by the City of Toronto such as nurses, paramedics and long-term care staff, are providing critical services under very difficult circumstances.
Their support has been vital during this pandemic. Their efforts, collectively with the efforts of all Torontonians, allowed our city to experience a limited strain on the health-care system during this first wave of the pandemic. Health care workers will continue to play a crucial role in keeping Torontonians save as the City readies for a possible COVID-19 resurgence
To show their appreciation, Toronto residents have rallied in support of health care workers since the onset of the pandemic. As the City thanks all health care workers on the front lines for keeping Torontonians safe, residents are encouraged to show their gratitude in their local communities and online with a hashtag #championsofcare.
"I want to thank all of our front-line health care workers for the critical work they do saving lives and keeping people safe every day, and for rising to the challenge to provide vital support to people in our city during the pandemic. Your commitment to the people you serve has helped our city's efforts in navigating this crisis and ensuring that our residents can get through these challenging times. On the Champions of Care Day, I encourage everyone to give thanks to front-line workers in their neighbourhoods and online, while they continue to meet the challenges posed by COVID-19, keeping us healthy and safe."
– Toronto Mayor John Tory
"I extend my sincere thanks to all front-line health care workers for their sacrifices, their incredible dedication and hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every day, you are risking your own health as you fight this pandemic, and for that we will all be forever grateful. You are saving lives and doing all you can to ensure that we will get through this pandemic and that our city will come back stronger than ever."
– Dr. Eileen de Villa, Medical Officer of Health

Find out more about our Calder-wide arts programme
Landlines & Watermarks was an ambitious cultural programme elling the story of a place and a people shaped by water. Presented by 509 Arts in partnership with the people of the Calder Valley, it used local stories to present tales of change - in music and song, parade and performance, and through community celebration.
It was commissioned in 2017 in response to the devastating floods of Boxing Day 2015 – floods that swept through Calderdale with extensive long-term impact for communities, businesses and individuals.
Landlines & Watermarks comprised 3 strands:
six creative commissions by local artists/arts organisations, which took place in the 6 flood-affected towns, each with community participation at its heart.
The People's Fair
a two day marketplace and celebration of creativity and community in the valley at the £19m restored Piece Hall in Halifax that featured local businesses, voluntary groups, street theatre and performance, creative presentations and interactive workshops
Calderland, the people's opera
an epic music production featuring a community cast of over 200, that told the story of the valley and its relationship with water in song, dance music and digital image. Also presented in the Piece Hall.
Landlines & Warmarks reached a total live audience of 17,041 across 34 public events and performances
Media coverage reached 9m+ people and the BBC made a documentary about Calderland, screened on regional television in October 2017.
1197 participants took place in 108 workshops
71 local businesses engaged in the project and 78 artists were employed.
Landlines & Watermarks was financed by Calderdale Council from the Flood Recovery Fund and commissioned through a partnership between the local authority and the Community Foundation for Calderdale. Other key funding partners included Arts Council England, the Big Lottery and TippingPoint.

As you may know Drive-Alive has a sister website for train travel in Europe, with links to sites where tickets can be booked. We've recently been asked if other European countries offer a discount card for senior citizens, similar to the Senior Railcard available in the UK.
The answer is yes, although there seems to be a trend for these to become less widely available. The other problem is that we know of no UK website where these cards can be pre-booked, or where the discount can be claimed online. So it looks as if the only current option is to either try and book on the rail booking website of the country you are visiting, or wait until you arrive and then buy your card and tickets.
If anyone knows of a site where railcards and discounted tickets can be booked, we'd like to hear about it. In the meantime, here is a link to the most comprehensive information about senior railcards we've been able to find.
