International Poverty Forum
CARING FOR OTHERS, INC. WORKS TO ERADICATE POVERTY AROUND THE WORLD.
We help people struggling with the effects of a natural disaster, impoverished circumstances, and temporary misfortune live with dignity.
Caring For Others, Inc. is an international human services organization that provides food, clothing, and a continuum of services to families struggling with the effects of a natural disaster, impoverished circumstances, and temporary misfortune.
To restore hope and dignity to families impacted by poverty. At Caring For Others, we believe that poverty doesn't have to be permanent. It's a complex issue that, when tackled head-on, can be eradicated— one family at a time.
THOSE WITHOUT BASIC NECESSITIES DESERVE TO BE SEEN.
At Caring For Others, Inc., we want to help the world see the myriad of people who are largely invisible: the child with no shoes, the senior citizen without basic necessities, or the working mother struggling to make ends meet. This quest to truly recognize the faces of poverty inspires our actions and our mission each day.
We strive to create a fulcrum that ultimately leads to the demise of impoverished communities and restores dignity to the least of these. We follow the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who contended, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
Through partnerships with social service organizations, government agencies, communities of faith, and corporate partners, we provide a continuum of services including distributions of food, new clothing, toys, shoes, furniture, and personal necessities domestically and globally. Since our founding in 2001, Caring For Others, Inc. has broadened its path of dignity and hope across twenty-three metro Atlanta zip codes, the southeast, gulf coast, west coast and Belize, Guyana, Nigeria, Antigua, and the Philippines.
THE IMPACT OF POVERTY IS PERSONAL AT CARING FOR OTHERS.
Our founder, Ms. Eslene Richmond Shockley, is well-acquainted with the hardship and pain of poverty. Take a quick glance inside her story.

Flag Football Plays
Flag Football Play Schemes and Playbooks
Whether you�re a veteran of flag football or just getting started, it always helps to have a few flag football plays prepared in advance.
Below, I�ve included 15 assorted plays which should get you started. They include both running and passing plays, and each can easily be adapted to smaller or larger flag football teams.
If you want to find more plays, you can download complete playbooks or you might try searching for the following terms:
Free flag football plays
Flag football software
8 on 8 flag football plays
Youth flag football plays
7 man flag football plays
While you�ll be able to uncover some more free plays, you�ll also come across a wide variety of sites which offer plays for a fee. This might come in the form of a book, downloadable material or computer software. There are even programs available which allow you to use your computer to design custom flag football plays for both offense and defense.
Now here are the 15 free flag football plays that you�ve been waiting for:
Designed to go through the middle of the offensive line, this running play is the bread and butter of many a championship flag football team.
Offensive lineman will block the defenders in front of them and attempt to drive them backwards, while a fullback will be employed to run ahead of the ball carrier and clear out additional space.
While much of the success of the play relies on the vision and athletic abilities of the runner, good teamwork and blocking can turn a small gain into something far more substantial.
The Out and Up
Wide receivers are lined up on both sides of the field, and the play can be tailored to go to either side. The quarterback quickly passes the ball to either receiver after the snap, and the wideout then proceeds to run up the field for five yards.
After this distance, the receiver turns 90 degrees and heads towards the nearest sideline. Before running out of bounds, the receiver then turns upfield and continues running until either scoring or being �tackled.�
Quarterback Roll, Receiver Out
At the snap, the quarterback rolls left until he�s outside of the tackles. The running back runs a vertical pattern straight up through the defense, while the left wide receiver runs an out pattern at around the 8-yard mark.
As the receiver is about the make the cut, the quarterback throws them the ball.
If possible, the receiver can then turn upfield, or he may simply step out of bounds.
Fade In, Fade Out
This play can go to either the left or right receiver. Following the snap, the quarterback quickly passes the ball. After the catch, the wideout heads straight upfield for five yards before turning 45 degrees and heading towards the center of the field.
Once he�s reached this area, the ball carrier turns and heads in a diagonal line towards the end zone. Meanwhile, the offensive players do their best to clear a path, relying on the fact that they know exactly where the receiver is headed.
Crossing Pattern
This play is designed for 7-on-7 flag football, but it can easily be modified for any size team. When the ball is snapped, the two receivers on the left side of the field each run 3-yard flat routes and cross paths in order to momentarily confuse their defenders.
As the receivers come out of these routes, the quarterback will hit the one closest to him. Keep in mind, however, that the quarterback should have time to see the crossing patterns develop, so he should be able to throw to the other receiver if he�s more open.
A tried and true running play, the counter relies on misdirection to force the opposing team to commit to a particular direction. At the snap, the quarterback fakes a handoff to the fullback, who should be heading either left or right (depending on your preference).
The halfback, meanwhile, will take a step in the same direction as the fullback, but then change directions and head the opposite way. After the fake handoff, the quarterback will turn and hand the ball to the halfback.
This play works best if you can get the ball into the hands of your fastest wide receiver. At the snap, the right receiver heads up the field and runs a deep slant route in an effort to clear out the defense on that side.
Meanwhile, the left receiver closest to the quarterback runs an underneath route in front of the offensive line and catches the ball in the area cleared by the other wideout. Now it�s up to the ball carrier to use his speed and the other offensive players to provide solid blocking.
Quarterback Draw
The quarterback takes the snap and should next fake a quick pass to one of his receivers. Having done this, he then secures the ball under his arm and heads up through the center of the offensive line. On this play, it�s a good idea to keep any fullbacks or halfbacks close to home in order to block for the quarterback.
Wideout Screen
An 8-man flag football play, this can also be tailored for smaller or larger teams. Basically, the receiver on the far left of the line cuts across to the center of the field following the snap. If performed properly, the defense should be convinced that the pass will be headed to this receiver.
Instead, the quarterback has the option of either running the ball up through the middle of the line or passing to another receiver. This crossing receiver simply serves as a decoy to draw defenders to him.
The Super Fake
Prior to this play, your team should execute an off-tackle run (out of the I-Formation works well). Prior to the following play, have your team line up in the same formation. While it may not work, it�s not a bad idea to try and fool the defense by letting them overhear that the upcoming play is the same one as before.
Instead, the quarterback fakes the handoff and stops with his back to the line of scrimmage for a second or two. By this point, the defense has hopefully committed to the run. The quarterback then runs around the opposite end of the field.
The selling of this play is especially critical. While it may work better in a flag football league for kids, you might try it out anyway and see what happens. If used sparingly as a trick play, the results may be surprising.
Center Sneak
Here�s a play for those linemen who complain that they never get the ball. At the beginning of the play, the receivers to the right should head towards the center of the field. A receiver from the left side should head to the vacant right side of the field and stop as if waiting for the pass. As this is unfolding (and timing is very critical on this play), the quarterback sneaks the ball to the center.
The quarterback then runs to the right, while the center heads straight upfield. Of course, if the center has to commit to blocking a defender at the line, then this play can simply be changed on the fly to a standard passing play, or the quarterback can keep the ball and run with it.
Center Sneak: The Sequel
Once the ball is snapped, one receiver on each side of the line angles sharply towards the center of the field. Another receiver (lined up to the left) will go deep and draw away some of the defense. The quarterback then quickly hands the ball to the center, who proceeds to run forward and then cut sharply at a right angle.
Since the receivers should have drawn the defenders to either the left or center of the field, there should be a gap on the right side. The center should be able to exploit this for a nice gain.
On this play, a single running back lines up near the left side of the offensive line.
At the snap, the quarterback fakes passing him the ball, then spins and starts running towards the right side of the field.
If a fullback is used, he should also be sent to the left in an attempt to draw as many defenders as possible away from the side the quarterback will be running to. Receivers should run deep patterns and try to draw defenders away from the play.
Four Receiver Crossing Route
Originally intended for 8-man flag football, this play works especially well against a man-to-man defense. Before the play, two receivers should be lined up on each side of the field. The remaining three players who aren�t the quarterback will stay on the line of scrimmage.
When the ball is snapped, each receiver will run forward three steps. Then the outside receivers will cut towards the middle of the field. Inside receivers will take a total of four steps after the snap and then cut to the outside of the field. Outside players should be certain to cut after the inside receivers. From there, the quarterback can sit back and throw the ball to the most open receiver (which should be 1 of the two receivers running the crossing routes in the middle of the field).
Misdirection Trap
This formation begins like the previous play (two receivers on each side, with three offensive linemen). However, in this case, you may want to make sure that the blocker on the far right side of the offensive line is one of your faster players.
After the snap, the inside wideout on the right side will move down and block the defender on the end of the line of scrimmage (this will free up that speedy lineman we were just talking about). The outside receiver on the right side will move one step forward off the line and then turn and run parallel towards the left side of the field. The quarterback will hit this player on the run, and the speedy lineman will run towards the receiver. As the receiver runs left, the lineman will pass by him headed right. The receiver will quickly pitch the lineman the ball, and he will turn upfield (hopefully for a big gain).

The world's top stock strategist called markets' unexpected October rally—what he sees coming next isn't as pretty
S&P Futures
Russell 2000 Futures
Christopher Goodney—Bloomberg/Getty Images
After a dismal start to the year, the Dow Jones industrial average just capped off its best month since 1976, defying the forecasts of many Wall Street analysts.
The world's top stock market strategist, Morgan Stanley chief investment officer Mike Wilson, foresaw the recent rebound, and he is sticking to his guns about what's coming next.
Near the beginning of October, Wilson turned "tactically bullish" on the stock market, arguing that investors had become overly pessimistic about inflation and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, which meant a rally was likely on the way.
"Bottom line, inflation has peaked and is likely to fall faster than most expect," Wilson explained when discussing his previous call in a Monday Thoughts on the Market podcast. "We've now reached a point where both bond and stock markets may be pricing in too much hawkishness…This could provide some relief to stocks in the short term."
Wilson believes the S&P 500 could reach 4150, or roughly 7% above current levels, during this short-lived run-up—known to market watchers as a bear market rally. But he also made it very clear that the good times are temporary.
"This call is based almost entirely on technicals, rather than the fundamentals, which remain unsupportive of most equity prices and the S&P 500," Wilson said. "We realize that going against one's core view in the short term can be dangerous—and maybe wrongheaded—but that's part of our job. It's like a double-breaking putt in golf—hard to make, but you still gotta try."
In a separate Sunday research note, Wilson warned that "lower lows for the S&P 500 are still ahead after this rally is over." And after those lower lows, the CIO expects the S&P 500 will take some eight months to recover back to current levels.
For over a year now, Wilson and his team of strategists at Morgan Stanley have argued that the stock market is facing a toxic combination of economic headwinds, which he calls "fire" and "ice."
On one hand, inflation and the Fed's attempts to combat it with interest rate hikes act as "fire" against stocks, Wilson says, significantly lowering their valuations as costs increase across the board for companies. And at the same time, slowing economic growth, or "ice," is pulling down consumer spending and corporate earning potential.
Wilson believes that until this toxic combination is taken into account by companies and earnings estimates are slashed, stocks have further to fall. The CIO has also noted that most companies decided to "punt" on providing any guidance for 2023 earnings in the third quarter.
As a result, despite weak earnings, 12-month forward earnings per share (EPS) estimates have remained "relatively unchanged."
"This is why the primary index [the S&P 500] didn't go down in our view," he wrote. "We think the current rally in the S&P 500 has legs to 4000 to 4150 before reality sets in on how far 2023 EPS estimates need to come down."
In Wilson's base case, earnings estimates will finally come down in the first quarter and the bear market will come to an end, with the S&P 500 eventually rallying back to 3,900 by mid-2023.
But if a recession hits, he argues the blue-chip index could fall to just 3,350 over the same period, or some 18% from current levels.

2011 (11th) New Horizons International Film Festival - July 21-31, 2011 - Panorama
Q&A with dir. Son Kwang-Ju & actress Kim Su-Hyeon
Q&A took place after a screening of "Characters" at the 2011 Jeonju International Film Festival on April 30th. AsianWiki editor Ki Mun was there and transcribed/translated the session.
Moderator: "Could you give some background on the film?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "For my first feature long film I wanted to make a black comedy, but it was really difficult to find funding. I got frustrated by this and this movie is the end result of that. My situation and the situation of the film industry influenced me to write this screenplay."
Audience Question: (to actress Kim Su-Hyeon) "What was your impression of the screenplay? What made you take part in the movie?"
Kim Su-Hyeon: "After I watched the movie, the title seeemed suited for the film. When I had my first meeting with the director, it was for another character .. the top star in the film. I always think choice is a matter with compromise between reality or finding myself. When I read the script, I thought I had a lot in common with the main character. In the conversations with the director she accepted so I could participate.
Audience Question: (to actress Kim Su-Hyeon) "What are some common traits between yourself and the character you played? Soo-Yeon seemed to be such a diverse character."
Kim Su-Hyeon: "I think I have a brave and adventurous character. When I played Soo-Yeon, I felt lethargic. Like Soo-Yeon in the movie, who wanted to become free, I wanted that too."
Audience Question: "In the beginning of the film an empty house or warehouse looked impressive. How did you scout that location? Also, in the movie there was a luxurious home, how much did the rental for that cost?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "We found that house easily. One of our staff members visited Sunmoo Island. There the staff found the house. And with that luxurious home, I used a personal connection. The scene with the president of the production company and the movie director talking in the villa, that villa was also a set from the drama series "Winter Sonata". When we scouted for shooting locations the owner of the home just changed, so I was able to use the villa for free."
Audience Question: "I'm curious about the scene of the sea in the middle of the movie. A woman is dancing and at first the woman's hand is shown, but then changes to the scene of the movie. Why did you add this? Also, the movie seems to come from the director's real life experiences. Is the film industry really like what you described in the movie? Also, I heard the sound of factories in the movie, does that mean making movies is like a factory?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "I think its better not to explain why I put those scenes in the movie. I think its better for the audience to find the answer. My personal thoughts of the sea is like a place to want to go back. My own actual experiences is not in the movie. I have not been in the commercial movie field. The situation in the movie - we see a lot of that on TV. I just arranged this situation in that way of comparison. Keep making mechanically."
Audience Question: While I watched the movie, I felt various feelings. The most impressive character is the director. Who is the director? What kind of thoughts does he have? As a student studying films, should students ask whether they are to pursue commericial or art films? What should take precedence in order to make a movie - what commercial movie people like or what the director wants? What would you choose?
Son Kwang-Ju: "It is a personal choice. For myself, I will choose from the situation."
Audience Question: "I wonder what your thoughts of reality are? When you directed the movie, what points of reality did you care about?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "The procedure for making a film is procedure for making a new reality. To do that, we need to erase numerous realities surrounding us. In the end, every reality is erased. Under the situation of non-reality, a new reality will be made."
Audience Question: "How did you form the ideas to make this movie?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "It took a long time to get funding. Then there was a contest for long format independent films. I wrote this scenario for the contest. Finally, I was able to get financial support and able to begin. About how I got the idea for the movie. I think back to the black comedy. I could not work at that time and I felt alone. I kept thinking of an empty building, an empty place. Building something from nothing. For the contest, I developed the story from the empty building.
Audience Question: "In the movie, your character is awakened in an abandoned building and doesn't seem to know if everything is real or a dream. The character goes outside. It looks like she is looking for something. When you performed that scene what was in your mind to make you run into the wilderness? Did the director let you keep running?
Son Kwang-Ju: "At that time her condition was bad."
Kim Su-Hyeon: "While I was running, I was thinking of the writer Soo-Yeon, the sea, sense of freedom and that I want to take back my self."
Audience Question: "How many takes for that scene?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "We did not take many cuts."
Audience Question: "In the movie an animal's head bone appears. Does it mean anything?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "The bone itself is not important."
Audience Question: "Are you influenced more by art of films? What director or painter do you like?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "Depends on the movie I make. I think of many painters and writers. I collect a lot. In this movie, for the sea scene, I referred to a Japanese photographer who takes pictures of horizontal lines."
Audience Question: "For movies?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "I was influenced by Chantal Akerman's 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles'."
Moderator: "The Q&A portion has now run out of time. Could you leave some final words for the audience?"
Son Kwang-Ju: "On May 4th, there is one more showing of my film and it is also sold out. I am so touched. I hope people are also touched by the film. Let me introduce Kim Su-Hyeon. She is a model and this is her first movie. She belongs to a big management company. When I asked her to act for my independent film, she readily said yes and worked very hard. Her taste for movies are vary sophisticated, so I also got help from her."
Kim Su-Hyeon: "After this movie, I became interested in acting. I do enjoy movies. I felt watching movies and acting for movies is quite different. So I hope you refer to this point when you watch the movie."

Petroleum invites its readers to recall seven key, according to the journal, events of the oil and gas world in 2019.
President: position passed on, position received
The televised address of President Nursultan Nazarbayev announced for March 19 did not cause much excitement in the country. In recent years, the Head of State in a similar format announced his annual address to the people of Kazakhstan, announced important social initiatives. And therefore the following words of the President heard from a screen: "I made a difficult decision for myself – to resign the powers of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan" – had a shock effect.
Nazarbayev ruled the country for almost 30 years, it was under his personal guarantees that key investors came to Kazakhstan in the first years of Independence, thanks to which the oil and gas industry was formed in the form in which it exists today. Nazarbayev set the rules of the game, which some liked, some did not, but they were firm and more or less understandable.
And although the successor – the second Head of State in the history of Kazakhstan –Kassym-Jomart Tokayev – almost all 30 years worked alongside Nazarbayev in the rank of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister, Speaker of the Senate, it is obvious that changes are coming in the investment field, as well as in the country as a whole. What kind is yet not fully clear for investors. Moreover, today, the country has formed de facto two centers of power: in addition to the presidential office in the Ak Orda residence, another is the office of Nazarbayev in the Library of the First President, who retained a lifetime leadership of the Security Council with unusually broad powers, the post of Head of the ruling party Nur Otan and the title of Elbasy (leader of the nation).
Stati against Kazakhstan: the struggle continues
No one wanted to stand down: the Ministry of justice continues litigation with the Moldovan investor Anatol Stati, expelled from Kazakhstan ten years ago with the confiscation of his oil and gas assets. The Amsterdam Court of Appeal rejected an appeal by Kazakhstan and the Samruk-Kazyna Fund to cancel the seizure of a $5.2 billion stake in KMG Kashagan B.V., through which the Fund participates in the North Caspian Consortium.
And in October 2019, the US Supreme court rejected Kazakhstan's request to review the decision of the US Court of Appeal, which awarded 506 million US dollars in compensation to Stati. This money from the funds of the National Fund of Kazakhstan remains frozen in The Bank of New York Mellon.
The Kazakhstani Ministry of Justice, in turn, accuses Stati of fraud, claiming that he overestimated the size of investments in the construction of a gas processing plant at the Borankol field, as well as paid bribes to officials in different countries and purchased articles of luxury with investors' money. The new lawsuit was submitted to the Svea Court of Appeal in Sweden at the end of November.

Home Happening Now Newt Explains Why He Believes Biden is Doomed and Harris Will Be...
Newt Explains Why He Believes Biden is Doomed and Harris Will Be Dem Nominee
In an Op-Ed for Newsweek, former Speaker Newt Gingrich explains why he believes Kamala Harris and not Biden will be the Democrat's 2020 nominee.
First, he feels that the younger Democrat candidates who gathers the most social media buzz vs. the old school candidates will gather the most media attention.
Second, he believes every male candidate will be at a disadvantage due to the Democrat party's identity politics.
Third, he feels Kamala Harris is more relatable than Warren, who comes off poorly when trying to connect with regular people.
By Newt Gingrich – Newsweek
The presidency is legitimately scrutinized more than any other institution in American life. It is the most powerful political-governmental office in the world. Anyone who decides to run for president must be prepared to endure, survive and surmount assaults on every aspect of his or her life. In 1972, when Senator Ed Muskie broke down crying in New Hampshire because of media attacks on his wife, he proved he did not have the toughness to be president. His campaign never recovered. My guess about Senator Harris becoming the nominee assumes she will be able to survive whatever unpredictable crises emerge during the campaign.
Remember, the gauntlet today is wider and tougher than ever before. In addition to reporters and the other campaigns' researchers, we now have random eruptions by individuals out of the past who make headline-generating allegations that can take on a life of their own (note the cases of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Governor Ralph Northam, and Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax as recent examples).
We live in the age of the Kardashians. The candidate that has rhythm will have an enormous advantage over the candidate that cannot capture the rhythm of the modern era. The media has never come to grips with the reality that President Trump has caught the rhythm of his times in a way which lets him be amazingly dominant.
The rise of Ocasio-Cortez, fueled by her adept use of social media, is in many ways a Kardashian function. President Trump's years with the Apprentice TV shows and his mastery of Twitter and Facebook were—and still are—keys to his success. We do not yet know if one of the Democrats will turn out to understand the rhythm of the new, emerging political culture. My hunch is: As a Californian, Harris is more attuned to the cultural rhythms which often start in the entertainment industry in California.
Given these principles, how should we assess the 2020 Democratic field?
What follows is purely my own guess. I am not any more likely to be prescient than any of the supposed experts talking and writing every day. So, take these observations with a grain of salt.
First, erase the term "traditional power brokers" from your political lexicon. In the era of social media, direct communication to voters, and crowd-sourced fundraising, the old Washington kingmakers are dinosaurs who no longer matter. The 2016 election was their last gasp. The rise of Sanders (against the will of the Clintons) and the fall of Jeb Bush in 2016 are clear evidence of this.
Second, every male candidate should be substantially discounted. If this principle is right, then supporters of former Vice President Biden, Senator Sanders, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Senator Cory Booker, and others should start asking themselves who they want to support if their male candidate is simply unacceptable in the modern Democratic Party's year of the woman.
Since Senator Harris is female and Senator Booker is male, you have to give Harris the edge in a head-on fight. California dwarfs New Jersey as a political base. Her stories seem a lot more honest, and her west coast goofiness is not quite as jarring as Booker's Newark goofiness. I expect he will be an imitation, East Coast male shadow of her real campaign.
Importantly, there will be a race to be the "real left-winger" to appeal to both the media and the Ocasio-Cortez-wing (she would probably be the Democratic nominee if she were 35 years old, the constitutionally mandated minimum age to be president). Senator Amy Klobuchar could make a run at this role. However, given the Scandinavian stoicism of the culture of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, it will be very difficult for Klobuchar to effectively imitate the frenzied patterns of the modern Left. She is too rational and too reasonable for a Democratic Party that sees no limitation in its pursuits. Like the French Revolution, the emerging left-wing totalitarians require the guillotine to eliminate the imperfect for their sense of revolution to be satisfied.
Senator Warren has the hard-left views and the toughness to be the nominee. As a radical woman, she comes close to emerging as a serious contender in this new Democratic Party. However, she has three fatal weaknesses. First, she is as dishonest as Hillary Clinton. The discovery of her registration form for the Texas State Bar, where she claimed in her own handwriting that she is of Native American descent, proves she is willing to blatantly lie.
Second, if Ocasio-Cortez has the rhythm and charm to dominate the Facebook-Twitter-Instagram-YouTube-TV talk world, Warren has the lecturing, patronizing style of your high school chemistry teacher. She doesn't project the energy to capture the essence of delusional fantasies which is the heart of the modern Left. She has the words, but she can't get the rhythm. Warren is a person from the age of print, and that world is gone.
Third, Warren seems like a Puritan but pretends to be normal. Her effort to appear relatable as she was drinking a beer on Instagram was as unbelievable as her false claims about exploiting her exaggerated heritage in hopes of advancing her career. Trump proved in 2016 that authenticity can erase a lot of problems. Warren is inherently the least authentic candidate in the Democratic Party's current list of possible candidates.
All of this gets us to Senator Harris.

This Pakistani ad shows working mom, stay-at-home dad and all is right in the world again
Congratulations! We've finally started advertising like it's 2018
Photo: Instagram/@uber_pk
By Cutacut Editorial Team October 16, 2018
KARACHI: Who remembers the advertising era of forced jingles, unnecessary dance moves and weddings? Unfortunately, that trend isn't long gone. But from time to time, you come across one or two progressive ads here and there that serve as a breath of fresh air in a sea of regressive ones.
Read: This Pakistani ad is defying gender roles and we are here for it
The advert in question is produced by Uber Pakistan and depicts the journey of a working woman as she makes her way home to her children. But instead of the kids being on their own or being looked after by the help, the father is home and taking care of them. Not only does this move away from the traditional gender roles where children and homemaking is considered a woman's 'job' while working and earning money is considered a man's responsibility, it also shows a healthy relationship with shared roles.
Let loved ones know you're coming. Share your arrival time with the Uber app. #Uber #love #shareyourETA #Uber #love #Shareyourjourney
A post shared by Uber Pakistan (@uber_pk) on Oct 15, 2018 at 4:45am PDT
Although the duration of the ad is short, it gets the message across. A similar ad made the rounds a couple months ago where a son-in-law is given the task of pleasing his in-laws instead of it being the other way around.
Read: 'Koffee with Karan' boasts of opening with "girl power" but goes straight into asking about boyfriends, marriage
Just to be clear: in no way are we trying to endorse the fact that men should stay home and only women should work. The idea is to strive for equality and shared responsibilities so as to not make a set of things a woman's job or vice versa.
Read: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and related traumas we struggle to talk about
Therefore, the good thing about the ad is that it's tilting towards a more contemporary society where husbands and wives are equal and traditional gender roles and responsibilities are a thing of the past.
Celebrities are finally speaking up about mental health and we're listening

Q: How to alleviate the development process through JIRA? In our agile-scrum process, for each epic we are creating , we are creating automatically one user story that is related to that epic.
From that user story, we are creating automatically too, 4 subtasks:

*

*one design task

*one technical analysis task

*one product task

*one QA task.

The technical analysis task should explain what to do technically speaking in term of dev. However, we have one dev task that is creating a duplicate with the technical analysis.
Once, one of the subtasks are opened, we cannot closed them.
In term of automation, the ideas are good but the process can be improved.
My questions are the following:

*

*Do I need to have an epic and a user story,at the same time? I see them as duplicate but I maybe wrong

*Should I keep the technical analysis task when I already have a dev task that is created?

*Last but not least, should I close all the subtasks that are not used like design when they are no design

A: I would advise you not to automatically create anything.
The simplest approach is to do a task per story and to size your stories to 1 day.
Include unit testing as part of development, but only QA software releases. ie all the completed tasks.
Then you can put bugs back in as new tasks.
If you want to group many 1 day stories or lots of bugs/revisions together as the same feature, then you can start looking at epics.
But Its often best to just start working and sort out your PM software as you go. It allows you to figure out what works best for you without loading everyone down with admin tasks

Israel will be the fourth nation on the planet to land a spacecraft on the moon, when its SpaceIL touches down on Earth's only natural satellite on Feb. 13, 2019.
The other countries to have done so are Russia, the United States and China.
SpaceIL, in partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries, will launch the probe in December from Cape Canaveral, Florida on a SpaceX Flacon 9 Rocket, according to officials at a media event announcing the launch in the city of Yehud, adjacent to Ben-Gurion International Airport.
"We will put the Israeli flag on the moon" said Ido Anteby, CEO of SpaceIL.
The craft will also carry out an experiment for the Weizmann Institute of Science to measure the moon's magnetic field.
The 2 meter-by-1.5 meter vehicle weighs 600 kilograms (1,323 pounds), making it the smallest spacecraft yet to touch down on the moon.
The event was also attended by Israeli billionaire philanthropist and SpaceIL president Morris Kahn, who donated some $27 million to the project. Kahn told journalists that he hoped to inspire young Israelis to take up the study of science.
SpaceIL launched in 2011 when engineers Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari and Yonatan Winetraub partnered to compete in the Google Lunar XPRIZE—an international competition to put a small, mobile craft on the moon. The prize was to be $20 million.
The competition never got off the ground, but SpaceIL kept working, getting funding from donors, including Kahn and American Jewish billionaire philanthropist Sheldon Adelson.
Although the Google contest was eventually scrapped in March 2018 after none of the teams managed to launch their probes before the deadline, the SpaceIL group continued with its project, thanks to the support of its donors.
In total, the project has cost approximately $95 million.
I wish everyone involved the best of luck with this project. In the 21st century, it's good to see there are still some people who are serious about lunar exploration.
Pointless, as there is nothing their not even an atmosphere to breath.


His injuries, despite healing spells and care, have left him with some ataxia of the legs. Walking will be difficult.
This is another word that I'm suprised I haven't heard before. It's a great way to describe injury based mobility issues, you can use it to explain that a combat wound affected physical abilites as well as hitpoins that can be healed back with simple spells.

Not much here. The code has been written to be cross-platform from the start.

That said, there will definitely some platform-specific libraries required, especially for different hardware support like VR/AR headsets etc.

In those cases, this is where that platformp-specific code will live. There's already support for it in both the source and headers and the CMake files.

## Future Proofing

It just hasn't been used yet because the underlying systems are still under construction. However, when all the networking is done, then yeah there will be some platform-specific support for different controllers and headsets etc.


Every once in awhile a piece means something a little bit more than others. This would be one of those pieces.
Shannan Martin is a writer I have admired (and Twitter-stalked) for years – which all started because my BFF texted me one afternoon and was like, "I found a blog I love. You'll love it too. Get to reading!" (Or something like that. She likes to boss me around like that when it comes to things that are good for me.) And Jesse was, of course, right. Shannan's words have been invaluable to me. So, when Shannan emailed and invited me to write for her about what it has meant to me to be a single woman in church, I enthusiastically accepted.
I can't tell the story of my singleness without telling the story of how my friends have loved me. (I can't tell most stories without telling of how my friends have loved me.) Because that is where I see God most clearly.
I'm grateful to Shannan for the chance to tell this particular story. I hope you'll join me in her space.
After I was fired at the beginning of last year, I went home to Maryland for a couple of weeks. I needed to hug my mom, pray with the ladies from my Bible study, and eat at my best friend's table.
Years before, when I was in my last year of graduate school, finishing classes and interning, my best friend, Jesse, worried about me. I had mentioned offhandedly that my days were so busy I didn't even have time to eat a sandwich, and she immediately bought protein bars for me to keep in my desk and insisted on making dinner Tuesday nights before we went to Bible study. I didn't have to do anything, she told me, I just had to show up and be okay eating whatever she was making.
To read the rest of it, you're gonna have to jump over to Shannan's site. Then stay there awhile. Shannan's words are life-giving.
Why aren't you writing more?
So proud of you. I admire you for your faith and your willingness to share it.

'Second round peace talks on firm foundation'- Peiris
[TamilNet, Friday, 25 October 2002, 14:33 GMT]
The Sri Lankan government Friday said a firm foundation has been laid for the second round of peace talks with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. A Sri Lanka Army Major General will be among the three advisors to the government delegation for the talks scheduled to commence on October 31 at Thailand.
The first round of peace talks has been an enormous success beyond all expectations," said Constitutional Affairs Minister and the head of the government peace delegation, Professor G.L.Peiris , at a cabinet press briefing Friday.
"The second round of peace talks will focus on three keys issues. The first issue will be the formation of the Joint Task Force, which is an important prerequest in preparation for a summit of donor countries for Sri Lanka scheduled to be held on November 25 at Oslo in Norway. The government has received a favourable response in this regard.
"The second issue will be the resettlement of displaced persons due to war.
"The third issue will be strengthening the ceasefire implementation," said Minister Peiris.
The Cabinet spokesman Professor Peiris further said that there would not be any change in the ongoing peace process as a result of the present political climate in the country.
"There will not be any change in the composition of the government delegation. The same members participated in the first round of talks will be in the government delegation in addition to three advisors including Major General Shantha Kottegoda of the SLA stationed at Vavuniya. The other two advisors are Mr. John Gunaretna of Peace Secretariat and Mr.Chanaka Jayasekara," said Minister Peiris.
The Constitutional Minister appealed all political parties to extend their co-operation to the United National Front government to carry on the peace mandate it received from the people in December 2001 parliamentary election. "People have given a clear mandate to the UNF to achieve peace. We cannot abandon this mandate for an alternate proposal," stressed Professor Peiris in reply to a question commenting on the appeal made by President Chandrika Kumaratunge in her televised speech to the nation Thursday night.
President Ms Chandrika Kumaratunge in her speech made an appeal to all political parties to join hands with her to implement the mandate she received in two presidential elections to achieve peace in the country.

If you simply need to know where your assets are, then our IntelliView™ RFID asset tracking solution is for you. Designed with simplicity in mind, the web based asset tracking application is very simple to use, but very powerful. The application is browser based thus you can view, edit, print from any computer or a GPS enabled mobile telephone as long as you have an Internet connection. With our web based RFID tracking system you don't have to worry about loading CD's, you don't have to worry about purchasing PC's to support the application, you don't have to worry about constantly "maintaining" databases, or updating the application across 20 or 30 PC's or hand-held PDA readers.
As each asset is received in the receiving area or warehouse, specific details of the piece are entered into a database and assigned to an RFID tag encoded with a pre-encoded number. The tag is attached to the asset either permanently or with Velcro depending on the length of ownership and tracking time. Optionally, each asset can be assigned a bar code that is specifically assigned to a tag and recorded in the back-end database. Antennae installed throughout the monitoring area ensure that the web based asset tracking and inventory is recorded every ten minutes, six times an hour, providing the users with extremely accurate real-time inventory data. Asset managers can use IntelliView™ to query asset of interet's position within a company's various locations, with real-time accuracy, because the RFID tracking system enables its user to run automated inventory counts continuously throughout the day.
Unlike other products, our IntelliView asset tracking solutions utilizes the "best of breed" approach as it pertains to data capture, such as Passive UHF GEN2 Short Range RFID, Active (battery powered) Long Range RFID (both fixed and portable), combinations of GPS and RFID, and of-course we also support all bar code symbologies. But best of all, our RFID services provide you with a single source for a successful RFID asset tracking solution.
Best of all, IntelliView™ is typically sold as a subscription web service so our clients do not have to write a large check in order to use our RFID application, but rather a reasonable monthly, quarterly, or annual service fee.

How The Washington Post is pivoting its video strategy
September 11, 2015 by Rachel Raudenbush
The Washington Post's video strategy is finally catching up with the times.
On Thursday, the publisher announced it's ditching the "PostTV" moniker for its in-house video unit in favor of "Washington Post Video." The name change embodies the publisher's shift away from television-style and long-form narrative content toward more digitally native video formats and structures.
"We have a real opportunity to experiment, to break off from the conventions of traditional television into [digital] video storytelling," said Micah Gelman, who joined The Post in April as director of video.
That storytelling will include shorter-form original videos, aggregated pieces, news explainers and content built around The Post's popular franchises like The Fix and Wonkblog. It will also include content created specifically for social platforms.
"In the past, we produced one video and expected that video to work in every place it went. It doesn't," Gelman said. "Viewing habits on Facebook are different than viewing habits on Snapchat."
Currently, Facebook is leading The Post's video views with 22.8 million in July, according to data from Tubular Labs. The Post's website followed with 1.9 million views, according to comScore. YouTube accounted for 1.2 million views. The Post said overall its video starts are up 73 percent year-over-year.
The Post rolled out a custom video player earlier this year, which now lives in a new video vertical. The player is embeddable into Washington Post article pages as well as elsewhere online. Though it does play pre-roll ads, Gelman stressed that the priority now is to amass eyeballs before focusing on monetization. A new vertical video player also facilitates posting to Snapchat. The goal is to produce the "right stories for the right platform at the right time," said Gelman.
Figuring out what that means is going to take some experimentation, something many publishers fear, but the Post's new owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, embraces.
"What we're trying to do is capture that entrepreneurial spirit in video that we've already seen many parts of the site and the paper take," said Gelman.
The video team is also now more closely integrated with other parts of the newsroom internally. Recently, members of its 40-person video unit have been "embedded" into different sections of the newsroom, allowing them to work on the video representation of a story from conception instead of as an afterthought.
The team is also working with audience development to set goals and targets about what they should be posting and where. While such a distributed strategy isn't new, it is an effective way to attract viewers and potentially turn The Washington Post into a name in video news.
"We'll test different rates of posting. We'll test different types of content to post," said Gelman. "We'll continue to do it until we really find the sweet spot."

One doctor estimated he's seen a 10% rise in bankers under 30 being admitted to the hospital in the last decade.
"My husband told me to get out [saying] 'the money's not worth it,'" she said.
Dr. Arjun Ghosh, a consultant cardiologist at Barts Heart Centre in London estimated that in the last decade, he's seen a 10% rise in heart attacks among bankers under the age of 30. Around one in ten of his patients in this age range work in finance.
"In investment banking, I think whatever they [the banks] say… the hours and the pressure that is put on these guys is huge. So as much as they may be doing things to improve — I don't think it's changed at all," he said.
"It's so common now — young people getting a heart attack. This is common enough not to be shocking… It's not 'Oh my god, they're only 25!'," Dr. Ahmed Elghamaz, a consultant cardiologist at London North West University Hospital said. "We are not shocked anymore."
The Whitehall Study, conducted by University College London's Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, followed more than 10,000 British civil servants since the mid-1980s and showed that workers under 50 who were chronically stressed were 68% more likely to suffer a heart attack or chest pain.
"Not only are there are new types of illnesses, many of them having to do with burn-out, but also illness that people typically get later in life, they now get earlier in life. And so I'm observing in these young bankers a whole cluster of health issues," Michel told Business Insider.
"There's got to be more research into the direct impact of working conditions, working hours, work stress and how that correlates with cardiac events," Dr. Ashan said.

MTG Content Creator Awards
MTGCCA
Welcome to the MTG Content Creator Awards
MTGCCA Updates
MTG Content Creator Registration
Nominee Screening Process
Previous Nominees and Winners
Inaugural MTGCCA 2018
2nd MTGCCA 2019
2022 MTGCCA
Posted byMTGCCA January 6, 2022 January 6, 2022 Posted inUncategorizedTags:mtg, magic the gathering, award
2021 was an odd year (unintentional dad joke). As we left 2020, we had high hopes for a return to pre-COVID normalcy. The majority of those hopes were not realized, and we were left redefining our expectations again. In the MTG community, we did what we could to bridge the gap between what we wanted and what we were allowed to have. Some of us returned to our local game stores with modified gameplay. Some of us adjusted our focus to online games. Some of us found new friends and lost touch with old friends. And some of us discovered the beauty of collaboration.
As we look forward to 2022 and the MTG Content Creator Awards, we turn our eyes to what we can do to improve the overall awards as well as the processes we use to find their recipients. We'll do a quick recap of the changes that were made in the first 3 years, then we'll show you our proposed changes for 2022.
Year 1 (2018) we began with 11 awards. Year 2 and 3 (2019 and 2020) we added 7 additional awards. Process changes through the first three years included implementation of a code of conduct, a strict vetting process, and a higher degree of communication with the content creator community.
We received a lot of feedback regarding the communities who were represented within the current categories and found that we could identify subcategories that better represented these groups. We also found that some of the language used to describe each award detracted from its purpose. To better explain this, let's look at the proposed categories for the 2021/2022 season. You will notice that we've removed the "Best" title and replaced it with "Excellence in". Additionally, we've identified new art, writing, and video subcategories that helped differentiate between markedly different types of content.
Nominations will be open to the public, but self-nomination will be the preferred method. This will give the nominee a chance to showcase their best work for consideration. We are also considering having a committee determine the top nominees and possibly the winners of certain categories that require specialized consideration such as Art and Writing. Keep in mind, these changes are just proposals. No final decisions have been made.
Proposed Year 4 MTGCCA Awards (24 Total Awards)
Excellence in Art (5 Awards)
The following items fall under the 'Excellence in Art' category.
MTG Market Art (1 Award)-Wizards of the Coast commissioned art.
MTG Fan Art (4 Awards)– Fan art is artwork created by fans of Magic: the Gathering and derived from different aspects of the game to include card alters, proxies, costumes, photographs, sculptures, and other modes that are designed to pay homage to Magic: the Gathering. MTG Fan Art refers to artworks that are neither created nor commissioned or endorsed by the creators of Magic: the Gathering.
a. Original or Modified : For each category (Original or Modified), there are the following subcategories. Originality is the aspect of created or invented works as being new or novel. An original work is one not received from others nor one copied from the work of others. It is a work created with a unique style and substance. In the case of original MTG art, a work will be considered original even if it is based on the work of others as long as the complete composition of the work is original in its concept. Modified art is an alteration of a completed art piece, commonly called an Alter. There are 4 total categories (1. Original Painting, Drawing or Illustration, 2. Modified Painting, Drawing or Illustration, 3. Original Digital Art, and 4. Modified Digital Art).
i. Painting, Drawing or Illustration– Painting is art created by applying pigment to a two-dimensional surface. Oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, tempera, ink, encaustic, fresco, spray paint, etc. applied on canvas, canvas board, paper, or any flat surface. Drawing & Illustration is art that is composed of marks made with a manual or mechanical instrument on a two-dimensional surface. Drawings include all renderings made by an instrument on a surface and may include formal, realistic, and/or abstract imagery. Illustrations are works that graphically depict a concept or subject.
ii. Digital Art– Computer-generated artwork OR artwork captured digitally and heavily collaged or manipulated to produce a new image. The production of digital art relies heavily upon computer software.
Excellence in Video (5 Awards)
Short Form Video– (1 Award) Short videos…like tiktok or short YT videos.
Long Form Video– (1 Award) Well-edited longer videos.
Video-based Channel– (3 Awards) A video based channel isn't a regurgitation of a stream or podcast. It is a channel that makes edited videos enough so to be considered a significant body of work. Divided into 3 categories based on audience size.
Excellence in Writing (3 Awards)
Short Non-Fiction or Fiction– (1 Award) This includes memoirs, personal essays, technical writing, manuals, news writing, fan fiction and training content published in the competition year.
Long Non-Fiction or Fiction– (1 Award) A Magic: the Gathering related book, novel or novelette published in the competition year.
Overall Excellence in Writing (1 Award)
All other Awards (11 Awards)
Excellence in Podcasting (3 Awards)-Platform agnostic. A podcast is either a talk show or a news based show that is primarily audio. Duplicating a podcast onto multiple platforms does not change it from being a podcast. This is separate from a personality who does multiple modes of creation. (Divide into 3 groups of audience size)
Excellence in Streaming (3 Awards)-Gameplay only. No podcasts or talk shows. Just gameplay. Does not translate into reposted streams. (Divide into 3 groups of audience size). The focus is to award streamers who show talent in performing to a live audience.
Excellence in Website Design (1 Award)- Websites can either be utility sites, collaborative or gallery. Grading will consist of overall design as it contributes to its purpose.
MTG Newcomer of the Year (1 Award)- New content creators.
MTG Content Creator of the Year (1 Award)- This is for a content creator who excels at their overall content for the competition year.
Storyteller Award (1 Award)- For excellence in lore retelling, reenactment or creative interpretation.
The People's Choice Award (1 Award)- Open to audience vote.
With an increase in the overall number of awards, the cost of running the show has increased as well. With that, I have created a Patreon page for those who wish to contribute. All proceeds go directly into purchasing and shipping awards and running the processes of the show. We'd really like to hear what you think. There is a poll and a feedback link below.
How could we improve?

Athletics in the digital age

Tom Pincince, the assistant athletic director for communication and media services at Central Connecticut State University talks to local students about proper media usage for athletes.
By BRIAN JENNINGS
You just won a big game with your team and one way to commemorate the victory is by posting a video of the celebration on your Instagram or Snapchat. Should you post?
You just lost a big game with your team and one way of venting is to post your frustrations on Facebook or Twitter. Should you post? Maybe you should take this play off.
The Bristol Sports Hall of Fame hosted "The Blessings and Curses of Social Media by Teens" seminar at Bristol Central High School on Wednesday, Mar. 8. The seminar was free of charge and open to all middle school and high school students and their parents.
Assistant athletic director for communication and media services at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Tom Pincince, gave the presentation. Pincince is an experienced public speaker and has been serving as the official spokesperson for Division I athletics for the past 17 years.
As a former Division II college athlete and father of three daughters in middle school and elementary school, Pincince has dealt directly with student-athletes regarding the dangers of social media. He has spoken at about 50 schools in Connecticut thus far with the goal of reaching out to high school and middle school students and student-athletes, coaches, parents, and administrators in the state to try and educate them on the dangers of social media, and how they can use social media to their advantage.
Pincince said that he reached out to almost every high school in the state to try and pitch his message. He's even gone to speak at the CIAC Leadership Conference in front of about 1,200 people and 83 schools.
When Pincince spoke to student-athletes at that conference, a member of the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame was there and wanted put on the same presentation for students from the Bristol schools and surrounding towns.
"I was excited about the turnout," said Pincince. "I've done this where two people have shown up before. When it's mandatory for students to go to, it's one thing. When it's optional and people choose to come and learn about it, that's another."
The dangers of social media to middle school and high school students are endless and can be traced back to how students aren't fully aware of how much information they are putting out in the social media world, and how quickly it can spread. Presentation topics included the following: good decision making, social media statistics, what you know and don't know about privacy settings, social media do's and don'ts, and how positive social media presence is important.
"It's purely selfish on my end," said Pincince. "I did it so that I can learn as much as I can about this stuff to help my kids make the best decisions they can when it comes to social media. I'm not telling them not to use it, but hopefully I will help them use it safer and more effectively."

On Tenure, Larry Summers Would Likely Not Have Found Leeway to Return
By Elias J. Groll and William N. White, Crimson Staff Writers September 28, 2010
Last week's announcement that former University President Lawrence H. Summers would leave his post as an economic adviser to President Barack Obama touched off a frenzy of discussion as to whether Summers had decided to leave the White House as part of a response to growing dissatisfaction with the administration, or to keep tenure at the University.
At Harvard, a professor can take a leave of absence of two years without losing tenure. Once that period is up, the professor would have to reapply.
The Obama administration emphasized Harvard's policy in its announcement that Summers would resign his post, but many critics publicly wondered whether the University could not have made an exception for someone of Summers' stature.
The answer, University officials and professors said, is no. The University has not granted extensions to the policy in the past—even for some of its most prominent faculty members.
"As the saying goes: they wouldn't do it for Henry Kissinger so they won't do it for anyone else," said John Y. Campbell, chair of the economics department.
Harvard has a long history of sending its professors to serve in Washington, D.C., and the University has an equally long history of professors suddenly resigning glamorous positions to return to Cambridge and resume their teaching responsibilities.
Legendary Harvard Professor John Kenneth Galbraith once took a position in India in the Kennedy administration, according to Kennedy School Professor Jeffrey B. Liebman, but quickly resigned that position when he realized that he risked losing tenure if he did not return to the University.
Summers himself is no stranger to the policy. When he left for a position in the Clinton administration in 1993, Summers resigned his faculty appointment—thereby losing tenure—according to University spokesperson John D. Longbrake.
When Summers, who at 28 was one of the youngest tenured professors in Harvard's history, returned in 2001 to assume the University Presidency, he was reappointed to the economics department. Following his resignation as University President in 2006, Harvard elevated him to the position of University Professor, one of the faculty's most prestigious appointments.
It is unclear exactly what teaching responsibilities Summers will assume upon his return, but a statement by Harvard Kennedy School Dean David T. Ellwood '75 hinted that he will resume teaching at the school.
Summers began working for the Obama administration during the presidential campaign when he regularly briefed the presidential candidate on what was then a rapidly souring economy. During his time in the White House, Summers chaired Obama's National Economic Council, played a key role in crafting the $787 billion stimulus package, and oversaw the administration's bailout of the auto industry.
