But if you're seeing this pop-up too, here's what you can do to stop it.
First, make sure Windows is updated. Type update into the Start Menu and click Check for updates. Make sure Windows doesn't find anything new to install here.
Next, update your copy of Office. Open any Office app, like Word or Excel, and open the File menu. Under the Account tab, click the Update Options box and choose Update Now to make sure you're updated.
If neither of these fix the issue for you, you can disable the process from running by hand.

Expand Task Scheduler Library, then drill down to Microsoft > Office.
Here, you'll see two processes: OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerLogon and OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration. You can right-click on these and Disable them, but this will prevent Office data from updating in the background.
A better suggestion is to right-click each of them, select Properties, and then click the Change User or Group button on the resulting window. Type system into the box, click OK two times, and the task will run with System properties instead of under your account. Thus, you won't see the annoying pop-up.
Did you see this pop-up at any time? Did updating Windows and Office fix the problem for you? Let us know in the comments!
I had the same issue a month or so ago. I finally caught the popup with bare hands. I found that I had updated MS Office and it started. After finding out what was causing it, i again updated Office and the popup stopped. Ideally, you shouldn't have random or hit/miss popups like this. I do note programs when starting and even during runs they may popup but that shouldn't be a problem.

Home Medtech News + Sugar chains could form basis of COVID-19 diagnostic test
Sugar chains could form basis of COVID-19 diagnostic test
Iceni Diagnostics is developing a new approach to identify COVID-19 - not by its genetic code, which can mutate, but by using its reliance on chains of sugars which are constant and unchangeable.
The existing prototype product for influenza can detect the virus in less than 20 minutes and could be adapted to identify other pathogens such as Coronavirus.
Viruses typically invade the body through cells in the respiratory tract. These cells are covered in a coat of sugar chains, known as glycans, which are used to recognise beneficial substances. Viruses can utilise these glycans as part of the infection process. This process can also be used in reverse to identify the virus in saliva or nasal fluids.
Professor Rob Field, director of the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, is the co-founder of Iceni Diagnostics, a biotechnology company based on the Norwich Research Park. The company has developed this diagnostic technique that uses an artificial glycan receptor to capture the virus.
Professor Field said: "Right now, everybody is talking about a vaccine for coronavirus but vaccine development, validation, safety-testing, manufacture, regulatory approval and deployment is a time-consuming process.
"A low-cost, easy to use screening test that can be performed at the point of care is an ideal way to limit initial disease transmission in the country or location of origin.
"Current COVID-19 tests are largely based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) that requires a laboratory setting for analysis and relies on prior knowledge of the viral genetic code. This code can change as the virus evolves, limiting the effectiveness of the test.
"The Iceni Diagnostics approach uses glycan recognition, which is unaffected by seasonal variation in the genetic code, and can be offered as a handheld home or field-based test."
Iceni Diagnostics has already developed a series of prototype products that can specifically detect pathogens such as Norovirus and different strains of influenza in less than 20 minutes. The most advanced product, for equine influenza, is performing well in early stage clinical trials.
The hand-held device uses lateral flow – like a home pregnancy test – to give a simple yes/no answer. It requires no refrigeration and no training, meaning the test is usable in any location, by any person, in order to detect flu or other pathogens.
The current Iceni Diagnostics products detect a single virus. However, the next generation of diagnostics will enable the detection and discrimination of a series of pathogens that give rise to similar symptoms. This would enable, for example, a distinction between flu and COVID-19 in a single sample. This increases the versatility and robustness of the diagnosis.
The way the virus interacts with its glycan receptor makes it seasonally consistent, so, even if the virus genetic code mutates, it will still be detected – meaning the Iceni Diagnostics' test should remain effective indefinitely.
Professor Field says the device holds huge promise for changing the way we manage global disease.
"This new approach, which is based on host-pathogen glycan recognition could potentially result in a more universal detection technique, crucial in early diagnostics of outbreaks."

Director V.T. Nayani's first feature documentary explores the issue of shadeism, the discrimination based on skin tone between members of the same community. This issue around shade, of certain skin tones being considered "better" than others, was never missing from conversation while growing up for Nayani. She was able to feel its presence in conversations among family and friends. Alongside her friends and family, Nayani begins to recover and re-imagine what beauty means for Black, Indigenous, and other women of colour globally. This film looks at where shadeism comes from, how it directly affects women-identified people, and explores how we can move forward together. TO VIEW TRAILER, CLICK HERE.
AFROPUNK is a celebration of black culture and arts, a reclamation of black punk music and a denouncement of "isms" and phobias rooted in hate. Its organizers call it "a safe place, a black space to freak out in, to construct a new reality, to live your life as you see fit, while making sense of the world around you. In this piece for CBC Arts, Director V. T. Nayani and Producer Simone Ince explore AFROPUNK as both a music festival and a safe space, and follow a few Canadian artists who continue to cross the border and join in. TO VIEW VIDEO, CLICK HERE.

Weller Management and Weller Workforce Leverage the Talents of Both Organizations with Multiple Strategic Year-End Promotions
BOCA RATON, FL – Weller Management and Weller Workforce, both subsidiaries of Weller Residential, are leveraging the talents of both organizations under their new President, John Vranich.
"Weller has always been and will continue to be an industry leader with best-in-class employees who adopt our core values as a mantra. With both companies being lead and supported by the best of our associates from each company, we can adopt our new vision for 2021 and beyond. We will be more agile for our clients, and focus on occupancy, rent growth, and collection while maintaining the asset," said John Vranich.
John Vranich has been with Weller since its inception in 2013, after being recruited from eight years in the hotel industry in 2003 to multi-family. Vranich has grown within the organization and specializes in evaluating and maximizing the value of our assets for our clients, no matter where they are in the property life-cycle. "John has proven to be one of the best hires of my career, and his partnership has been critical to our growth. John excels at building trust and maintaining positive relationships. His clients respect him, his peers enjoy working with him, and his team can only be described as raving fans," said George S. Quay IV, Managing Partner of Weller Residential. Vranich has his Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and named Regional Manager of the year at the 2016 Bay Area Apartment Association's award ceremony.
Weller will benefit from EVP David Gates, formally from Weller Workforce, primarily overseeing Weller's Affordable Communities and Accounting Functions. Gates has over twenty years in property management and specializes in all functions associated with affordable housing, HUD-assisted housing, financial viability, and regulatory compliance. Gates joined the Weller Family of Companies in December 2019 and is quoted as saying, "The COVID-19 pandemic has changed so many things in our business, and I was the newest member of the Leadership team. Seeing how they navigated the pandemic, their commitment to doing what's right, and balancing the needs of everyone they serve showed me very quickly, I made the right decision. I was now with the best in the business." Gates also has a degree in Business Administration and his CPM designation.
Andee Myatt has also been promoted to EVP and will be leading the support departments, including Human Resources, Training, Marketing, IT Software, and IT Support. Joe Emerson, Partner, is quoted as saying, "Andee came into Weller with big plans for her brand-new training department, but I don't think even Andee expected that her Weller University or simple "DayTime Family" greeting would be so quickly adopted into our company culture. Andee has raised the bar in terms of what it means to be a part of the Weller Family of Companies for our associates and fostered communication and collaboration between departments in ways we never expected. Having Andee now formally lead those teams doesn't feel so much like a change as it does a natural progression." Myatt has numerous designations from trade organizations, served as an NAAEI Instructor for the National Apartment Association, and President of the Apartment Association of Greater Orlando, during her twenty-plus years in property management.
Three other key players in the Weller Family of Companies are being promoted and expanding their roles, Peter Ramos to Senior Vice President and David Bordelon and Renee Benevides both to Vice Presidents. Peter Ramos, as Senior Vice President, will take over operations of our affordable properties, and Renee Benevides, as a Vice President, will take over the operations of the conventional properties. David Bordelon will continue to oversee all accounting functions and financial reporting, but as Vice President, Weller will be able to also leverage his talents in other areas at the same time. Weller President John Vranich says, "I couldn't ask for a better team. Everyone promoted has earned these positions and shows their dedication to Weller on a daily basis. They are the best of the best, and I know we are going to accomplish amazing things." David Gates, EVP, agrees, "This group will bring out the best of our teams through their combined talents and experience. Moreover, they are a pleasure to work with. There is a true sense of working together because there is genuine trust and comradery there that you don't see in most companies. It's really special."
George Quay IV, Joe Emerson, Lori Krull, and Mike Oliveri will continue serving Weller Management® in strategic and advisory roles.
Weller Management® and Weller Workforce will continue to be a part of the Weller Residential and the Weller Family of Companies, with Leadership and support teams adopting just Weller for intra-office communications.

It's an old trend. Indian policymaker meets foreign idea; policymaker falls in love with the idea and brings it to India, only to find that all matches aren't made in heaven. Debates over capital account liberalization in a country that can't contain its fiscal deficit or talk of applying human development indicators in a land where poverty screams for high growth sometimes suggest this trend. Now, so does patent law.
The Bill, dubbed India's Bayh-Dole Act after the US law it closely resembles, allows research institutes to protect their work. Bayh-Dole's 1980 passage in the US proved a landmark for commercializing IPR. China passed its version in 2007. Not to be left behind, the government hurried this Bill, under the impression that universities could then sell their research and become financially self-reliant.
The Bill provides a scientist or institute default ownership over government-funded research. Yet, India's 1970 Patents Act, unlike US law before 1980, already provides for it. The problem in India isn't that there aren't sufficient rights for researchers; rather, researchers don't appear to capitalize on them. The Council of Scientific and Indian Research (CISR), the largest research body, has around 4,700 patents to its name, only 10% of which have been transferred into commercial licences.
First, India lacks the mechanisms that enable commercial usage of patents. For instance, there are few technology transfer organizations—official bodies within universities that can bridge academia and business.
Second, India's environment hasn't matured. Even before Bayh-Dole was enacted, there existed a nexus between companies and universities in the US— the law just filled in the gaps. In India, the nexus is nascent: Domestic industries can't always absorb academic work and researchers can't always commercialize patents.
Third, research in India—75% government-funded—suffers from bad direction. If CISR's track record is a guide, funds flow into projects that yield useless patents. The Bill doesn't address this; if anything, it forces researchers to declare useless patents,?too, by threat of penalty.
Without the prerequisite environment, no amount of legislation, inspired from whichever part of the world, can help. A foreign idea can't always solve a uniquely Indian problem.


Right after the first Hello World app, the New York Times is now reporting that security firm Independent Security Evaluators has discovered the first flaw in iPhone's security, taking "complete control" over all data and call capabilities by using a simple Web page, apparently just loading it and without any user intervention whatsoever. Video demonstration after the jump.
Once you did manage to find a hole, you were in complete control.
the site injected a bit of code into the iPhone that then took over the phone. The phone promptly followed instructions to transmit a set of files to the attacking computer that included recent text messages — including one that had been sent to the reporter's cellphone moments before — as well as telephone contacts and e-mail addresses.
Steven M. Bellovin, professor at Columbia University and ex-AT&T Research Labs security expert, confirmed to the NYT that the hack seemed "genuine" and added that Windows Mobile phones could be similarly attacked.


I know this shouldn't really count, but y'all need to know how many times I have been out with friends at dusk and dawn in Maine, Colorado, Vermont, Washington… in remote moose-friendly sites and I STILL haven't seen one. State biologists estimate the Maine moose population to be around 75,000. Do they go into hiding when this Brit arrives? If anyone can promise me a guaranteed moose-sighting, I will be on the next plane. I have seen reindeer in Lapland, but I have to see one of these iconic majestic beasts before I die.
It is way up there on my bucket list, the plan to visit all of America's national parks. Since 1872 the United States National Park System has grown from a single, public reservation called Yellowstone National Park to embrace over 450 natural, historical, recreational, and cultural areas. This includes battlefields like Gettysburg or one of the newest sites, and one I have of course visited because it is in Manhattan, is the Stonewall National Monument in New York, which memorializes the struggles that the lgbtqia community has faced over the years, along with one of its major victories.
In 2016, we celebrated the centenary of the NPS. If I had to pick one thing that I feel Americans can legitimately be proud of and shout about from the rooftops, it is the NPS. The fundamental purpose of the NPS "is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." This mission is unlike that of any other federal agency: They serve as keepers of the nation's cultural memory.
I discovered the Oregon Trail perchance this summer! While cat-sitting in Denver I hiked many miles along the Southern Platte River enjoying water holes and fabulous bird life and the very outdoor population of Denverites cycling along these well-kept urban river trials. Then when I moved up to Fort Collins for a week I was able to borrow my friend's old Subaru for a spontaneous mini road trip to discover some states I hadn't yet visited. My destinations were somewhat time-restricted and a little random. First stop, Casper, WY. I arrived early in the day due to almost car-less highways (what a difference to my east-coast road trips!) Looming black clouds over the distant hills made me opt for a river hike that afternoon and lo and behold I discovered I was back on the Platte, its Northern banks, and this trail led me to Casper's summer fete full of cowboy hats, beer, banjos and family. I met far fewer cyclists and far more fisherman on this hike, and made it back to my Air b n b just before the clouds exploded but with a desire to hike those menacing hills I had seen in the distance.
At Red Buttes, the North Platte River narrows, swings to the south and runs between thick, sandstone beds of a deep, brick red. Here, I later read that westbound travelers on the Oregon Trail left the Platte and struck out southwest for the Sweetwater River and the Continental Divide. But before the Europeans arrived, this dramatic location was already a crossroads for cultures. The Buttes stood as a western boundary of Lakota Sioux power and an eastern boundary of Shoshone power.
The next day, I pointed my car eastward to the Black Hills through more torrential rain, which fortuitously let up to allow me a dry if cloudy visit of the famous Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Scouring my maps over a beer that night in a tiny local diner, I felt like Scotts Bluff rang some bells, so this national monument could be my next stop. Driving through southern Nebraska gave me my first taste of endless prairie landscapes, and how happy those pioneers must have been to see some hills in Wyoming and eventually the Rockies in Colorado. Of course I climbed and didn't drive up the towering 800 feet rocky outcrop above the North Platte River (wow, I am back on the river again!) In stark contrast to the flatness around, Scotts Bluff has served as a lookout and landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails to modern travelers. As a European I confess my knowledge of western expansion was limited to Laura Ingalls Wilder and what I had read about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. So, I guess what surprised me most in the small but super informative museum was to learn about the Mormons progress (expulsion) west and the "Mormon Trail". And now that I had landed for the third time unintentionally three on the Platte River, I want to intentionally explore it at the Oregon Trail more.

» 3D Printers, Maker Movement, Post-Industry? Screw it!
3D Printers, Maker Movement, Post-Industry? Screw it!
A couple of days ago I listened to a design research talk at the 12th Annual Conference of the German Society for Design Theory and Research (DGTF) while I decided to write this post. The title of the conference was: "Reassembling Relationships: People, Systems, Things". All the talks were mostly in the context of the "Internet of Things" (IoT). The topic of the talk which got me to write this post was "digital-analog / analog-digital, post-industrial production machines and their influence on the structure of the design process". During the presentation the referent not only talked about the influence to the structure of the design process. The referent beside the main topic pointed out that the rise of three dimensional printing machines lead to a post-industry where everyone is going to become a maker.
I would heavily disagree with this, but let me explain.
For me the rise of the 3d printers is comparable with the affordance of dot-matrix, laser and ink printing machines in the nineties, which enabled non professionals to print things on paper at home. Before these printers were affordable for home use, in most cases print only one piece or a small amount wasn't necessary because of the high costs. Moreover the techniques (e.g. offset printing and many others) used by professional printing facilities are different, related to the use-case of the printed material and amount of copies.
This means to me that the development in the field of paper printing is comparable to the one we can see today in the field of three dimensional printing. The classic techniques used to produce three dimensional pieces are different to the three dimensional printing techniques used by home printers and usually more cost- and time-effectively for the production of several pieces. Furthermore there is also a need of professional craftsmanship and material knowledge for the production with techniques excluded three dimensional printing.
What does this mean to the wide spread misperception that with the affordance and arriving of three dimensional printers in everybody's homes everybody will become a maker and produce their stuff on their own? Well let me bring up an example to understand why I call this a misperception.
As said before, I compare this to the development that happened to regular paper printing. Imagine your mom or any other regular person (non-technical geeky guy) sitting in front of an computer, opening Google type in a search word e.g. "birthday cake", click on pictures, flick through a bunch of them and finally decide to download the worst picture of an birthday cake you could imagine (something like this).
Next she or he probably opens Microsoft Word or any other picture or word processing software application they are used to. He or she is gonna put in the picture and underlined it with some nice words in Comic Sans. In conclusion everything except the letters typed and the words written are not made by her- or himself. Even the styling of the written letters is owned by Microsoft and replicated in the ugliest font on the planet (you know her name). This leads to the question where to find the making, the act of actually making? The on which makes the person to the maker of this birthday wish card?
Oh he forgot the printing process where things come to life, right? But will this change something? Will your mom become the over all maker of more than the letters her fingers typed on to the keyboard by hitting the print button? The answer is: NO!
To truly be the maker of this birthday wish card, she would have had to pick up a blank piece of paper and a pen and start drawing and writing on her own. Because of the fact that she copied a picture already existing which has been created by some other person and printing it out in another context and constellation will not make her be the maker.
I think the same could be transferred to the three dimensional printing in private environment. This technic is just another method to do things we already could achieve and need a deep understanding of the technology. Imagine your mom using a three dimensional modeling software application designing her next cup polygon by polygon.
Sounds impossible? That's the fact!
This technic needs exact the same professional knowledge than any other classic technic to manually creating this cup by hand or in an industrial environment. So the only thing we could achieve in the future will be the same kind of making process like in regular paper printing. Giving people the possibility to print things on their own for special occasion will not enable them to become makers which could build their stuff on their own. Only a few who understand the technic and own the knowledge will be the makers. The others will remain copying things and the 3D printer will remain the same as a person or facility you could go to with your request for production. Or do you print your own hard cover book or toothbrush package on your own at home just because you could do so? Probably not.
So put down three dimensional printing as it is today from the top edge of the Gartner Hype Cycle and see it the way it will become. No superhero, no maker in all of us, no world saving technic, it is just a new way to produce things we already could produce through other methods with more or less the same effort to earn professionality to truly become the overall maker of things.

In an atypical plot, a pair of Salt Lake City missionaries, Elder Price (Mark Evans) and Cunningham (Christopher John O'Neill), are sent to Uganda to convert the AIDS and poverty plagued locals to Mormonism. The overachieving Elder Price wanted to be sent to Orlando and Cunningham just wanted to have a real friend and be accepted by others. The missionaries, played with convincing fervor, are like fish out of holy water. Their faith is shaken by warlords, disease, and violence. They eventually fulfill their destiny with the help of cameos appearances by Jesus, Joseph Smith, Darth Vader, Hitler, and Johnny Cochran.
The highlight of the night was the Spooky Mormon Hell Dream where Elder Price finds himself dreaming that he's in the midst of Hades' flames with the likes of Adolf Hitler and Johnny Cochran. Not only did it lend itself to hysterical laughter, but the dancing incorporated detailed, distorted moves that were stunning to watch. As the daemons moved in unison, I was mesmerized by their grace an fluidity, even if it was surrounded by the fiery flames of Hell.
The tuneful songs were also one hit after another. Turn It Off was especially brilliant. As Elder McKinley leads the missionaries in "our nifty little Mormon trick" to suppress inconvenient feelings with no more effort than the flick of a light switch, I was shocked by the musical talent and the tap dancing number performed with ease. I can't imagine the difficulty in performing such elaborate, physically demanding numbers while maintaining perfect pitch and tone. It takes immeasurable amounts of talent and skill. Another outstanding musical performance is by Samantha Marie Ware, playing the Ugandan Nabulungi. She brings tremendous musical firepower to Sal Tlay Ka Siti, her impossible dream of a civilized existence in the Mormons' headquarters city, Salt Lake City.
To sum up all of the inappropriateness was a grand finale Ugandan reenactment of Cunningham's teaching including large, black strap-on props, a "stuffed" (in more ways than one) frog, and creative visuals of parts of the female anatomy on a man's face. I was so shocked at the jaw-dropping actions that I scoured the theater for disapproving eyes. To my surprise, there wasn't an unhappy, unsmiling face n the crowd. It was well-received and taken in fun.
The Book of Mormon was pee-in-my-pants funny, outrageous, and over-the-top shocking, which I expected, but what I didn't expect was the superbly energetic dancing, award-winning, catchy tunes, and elaborate costumes and sets. It's a hit; it's proof that a whole lot of wrongs do actually make a right.
I just tried to get tickets but it is completely sold out! It must be awesome. Maybe next time or when I am traveling.
I vaguely heard about this but was never really sure what it was about. I definitely want to see it now. It is my type of humor.
Looking forward to reading more of your experiences with theater.
Finally a musical that I would like to see. This is one I will take my wife to.

Rick Cronin announced as 2020 Catholic Charities Appeal Chair
Fri, Jan 3rd 2020 01:00 pm
Dennis C. Walczyk, president and chief executive officer of Catholic Charities of Buffalo, has announced that Rick Cronin will serve as chair of the 2020 annual Catholic Charities Appeal.
Cronin steps into the role after seven years as parish division chair in which he worked to motivate and inform the appeal teams representing the 170 parishes within the eight Western New York counties served by Catholic Charities.
A 37-year employee of the Social Security Administration before his retirement, Cronin graduated from St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and has held leadership roles for the school's Annual Giving Fund campaign, the Alumni Association board of directors and is a member of the Signum Fidei Society of distinguished alumni.
Cronin is an alumnus of Canisius College and earned his master of business administration degree from the University at Buffalo.
An active member of St. Margaret Church in Buffalo, Cronin has served as the parish's appeal chair since 1993. He and his wife, JoEllen, reside in the town of Tonawanda.
"I am honored and excited to be serving as this year's appeal chair. Much like the appeal has been a constant in the Western New York community; it has been an important constant in my life," said Cronin. "I've spent the last seven years as appeal parish chair, and I know how much the appeal means to all who benefit from it. I both am humbled and eager to lead it in 2020."
Funds raised will support Catholic Charities' nearly 70 programs across 61 sites in the eight countries of Western New York, along with a number of diocesan ministries through the Fund for the Faith. More information on Appeal 2020, will be available following the official launch Jan. 7.
Moving forward in equal privilege of faith

When the issue of a survival kit comes up, suggestions about what to include in it are as numerous as suggestions regarding what to have for dinner.
With most, however, space is at a premium and you cannot be lugging around a full-on bug-out bag everywhere you go.
One answer is the mini survival kit.
A mini survival kit is one way of ensuring you have the survival materials and equipment you need without taking up a bunch of space.
This mini survival kit would be great to store in your tackle box, glove compartment, backpack or just about anywhere because it is so compact.
Plus, it is waterproof, which is another big plus and one less thing to worry about.
What to include in the kit is up to you, but the video on the next page offers some helpful suggestions.
Hillary is a part of a political globalest special interest organization that has chosen the most evil religion Islam to bring in a new world order and to take away the second amendment, freedom of speech and Christianity. Hillary and Obama are letting Isis win to bring in a new world order, under Hillary Isis wins. Putin is right we are arming Isis to bring in a new world order and recently threaten to start shooting down American aircrafts. Putin recently did a drill they have bunkers for 40 million citizens that they went to and he has a military defense system to stop missiles. Trump will build our military defenses Obama has neglected this. Hillary is a guaranteed failure. Isis is calling for knife attacks on beaches and camp sites and bus stops, Hillary will not care she will bring violence on America just like she did to the Ambassador, she will sacrifice anyone for the new world order.Hillary wants to bring in 5 million. America has never been more unsafe we need to vote for Trump. When I was younger I had a great vision of the Lord Jesus Christ blood going through my skin into my wrist. Jesus was wearing a heavenly blue garment and holding my hand and then I saw a sprinkle of the Lord Jesus Christ blood going through my skin into my wrist. Hebrews 12:22-28,Heavenly Jerusalem, Acts 2:17-21.Matthew 24,Heaven and earth shall pass away but by no means shall my word pass away. In revelations God says to come out of the whore that you receive not of her plagues and in her was found all the deaths of the Christians. This is saying to vote for Trump!Hillary is setting us up just like the 9-11 victims were set up.Voting for Trump is voting against evil.Trump will be bringing back the jobs that are disappearing and bring full time jobs.Wikkileaks prove that Hillary was a part of a arms deal to sell Isis weapons that she was paid off to do just like the 5 million that she plans to bring into America to disable Americans to bring in a new world order.Bringing jobs back and creating them go hand in hand with welfare and college degrees and only Trump has talk about this it is a easy decision he is best to save America.Go on you tube and listen to Wikileaks:Hillary Lied Under Oath About Arming Isis,subscriber Lionel Nation a attorney at Law and he says the media does not care about reporting about how dangerous Hillary and Obama are.This is a sign of the rapture or blessed hope that Jesus Christ Prophesied.Epistle of John.It is odd that in other airplane crashes there is always evidence left but 9-11 there wasn't any and many scientist are saying because there wasn't any and out of 86 videos only 1 video shows airplanes and a chemical that is only found in bombs was found in the Twin Towers and 3 weeks before it happened when it was close they where doing work in there when it closed and witness described what they where bringing in and it sounds like they may be right these scientist who investigated 9-11 properly.This is the reason the black boxes where never found which would of withstand the fire and crash.Some 911 researchers are saying that the radar showed military aircrafts behind all the airline planes and there is a way to leave that path and not be detected because of the same path and only a military drone plane would be able to have the speed a big airliner would not at the low atmosphere level and would not be able to hit the target and also weak parts of the plane like the wings or tail would fall off it wouldn't just disappear into the building perfectly unless it was a military drone which some witnesses say it looked like "That does not look like a commercial airliner ".

Tokyo Olympic Gold Medal Has a Melt Value of $832, But This One From 1936 Fetched $1.46MM
If the gold medals awarded at this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo were made of pure gold, each would carry a precious metal value of $35,556. Unfortunately for the 339 athletes who will earn the ultimate symbol of athletic achievement at these Games, the gold medals are actually made of 500 grams of silver overlaid with 6 grams of gold. The melt value is just $832 — far from the $1.46 million paid in 2013 for Jesse Owens' 1936 Olympic gold medal.
There was a time when Olympic gold medals were actually made from pure gold, with the last ones awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, back in 1912. Starting in 1916, the International Olympic Committee mandated that gold medals be made with a 24-karat gilding of exactly 6 grams (.211 ounces).
On rare occasions, Olympic gold medals will appear at auction and this is where their real values are reflected.
Back in 2013, billionaire Ron Burkle plunked down $1.46 million at SCP Auctions for a Jesse Owens gold medal from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It was the highest price ever paid for a piece of Olympic memorabilia.
Owens' performance in Berlin was one of the most significant in Olympic history because German führer Adolf Hitler was convinced the Games would showcase what he believed was the superiority of the Aryan race. Instead, the 23-year-old son of an Alabama share cropper embarrassed the German dictator by dominating his athletes with decisive wins in the 100- and 200-meter dash, the long jump and as a member of the 4×100 meter relay team.
In 2019, Goldin Auctions offered for sale a second Owens gold medal from the same Berlin Olympics. That medal was sold to an online bidder for $615,000.
Of the four gold medals captured by Owens, the whereabouts of the other two are unknown. The one purchased by Burkle in 2013 had been gifted by Owens to his good friend, entertainer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. The medal came to SCP Auctions via the estate of Robinson's wife, Elaine Plaines-Robinson.
The Owens medal sold by Goldin Auctions had been owned by the family of John Terpak, Sr., a weightlifter who met Owens during the 1936 Games. Owens apparently gifted the medal to Terpak in appreciation of his generosity and kindness.
Interestingly, Owens' 1936 medal is significantly smaller than the ones being awarded in Tokyo. It measures 55mm in diameter (compared to 85mm for the Tokyo medal) is 5mm thick (vs. 7.7mm to 12.1mm thick) and weighs 71 grams (vs. 556 grams).
If Owens' gold medal was made of pure gold it would have a melt value of $4,450. Since it was made primarily of silver, its melt value is just over $442.

Michael Bellantis has long had a passion for sustainability and environmental issues. "I received my undergraduate degree in Environmental Policy and Management from The Ohio State University, followed by an MBA – which is especially valuable as our ESG work increasingly is considered and discussed alongside financial analysis, business performance and more. All of this set me up for where I am today with Cardinal Health."
He currently leads Cardinal Health's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programmes, environmental compliance programmes for global enterprise, sustainability projects and energy procurement. "These areas are nicely aligned to provide the foundation for us to identify and develop programmes and ultimately execute them for the organisation," he says.
In previous roles, Mike supported corporate sustainability in both the chemical and steel industries.
As a manager, his focus is on trust and transparency. "I like fostering relationships with my team and the people I work with," he says. "That enables us to work together, drive results and build effective programmes."
"I think Cardinal Health does a tremendous job with certain behaviours that we've established as being desirable amongst leaders. One of those is inviting curiosity amongst our teams, by openly sharing ideas and best practices. This opens up a framework in an environment where my team can also share those ideas and best practices, and just really work collaboratively together."
A very important part of leadership is delegating responsibility. "I am grateful for the opportunity to lead and serve as Cardinal Health's Director of ESG and sustainability. But one of the things I know is that I'm not the subject matter expert in all areas. My approach to managing people is recognising that I value and benefit from their subject matter expertise, and our organization relies on them working effectively in positions where they feel comfortable providing their opinions.
"Recognition is huge, and seeing individuals for their accomplishments is something that is key to creating a collaborative work environment."
