Watch Out! They Get You While You're Sleeping!
When health official Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangely distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and colleague Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) fleeing for their lives to the sound of ear-piercing alien screams.
Remakes of great films are usually on a hiding to nothing, but Philip Kaufman's brilliant update of the 1956 classic is a rare and memorable exception. Transposing the action to the heart of San Francisco allows Kaufman to retain all the suspense of Jack Finney's original story while adding caustic social commentary about the selfishness of the 1970s 'me generation' that remains all too relevant today.
But it's a paranoid thriller first and foremost, based on one of the most psychologically terrifying of all premises - what happens when you can no longer trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?

It's a great day for Jenna Wolfe. The Today weekend anchor not only came out publicly with her partner of three years, NBC News correspondent Stephanie Gosk, but the couple is expecting their first child!
"This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to us," Wolfe told People. "But I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is."
"The beauty is that we live in a time where there's no need for secrecy," Gosk added. "This is a spectacular moment for us."
Wolfe, who is carrying the child after undergoing artificial insemination, plans on blogging about her experience as a first-time mother.
Watch Wolfe share her good news on the Today show below.

UNICEF Ethiopia Humanitarian Situation Report #5 – Reporting Period: May 2019
from UN Children's Fund
Failed spring rains this year in parts of Afar, Amhara, Oromia and Somali regions have renewed concerns about another drought affecting children, further compounding vulnerabilities in regions already suffering from chronic food insecurity, prolonged and complex population displacements, and increased risks to outbreaks of cholera and measles. These regions also have over-stretched health care systems, poor access to water, and recurrent outbreaks of preventable diseases.
As of April 2019, UNICEF has supported the screening and admission of 110,826 children under the age of five for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treatment and the numbers are expected to grow with the projected drought in the country.
UNICEF Ethiopia urgently requires US$ 5.4 million to replenish its nutrition commodities pipeline for the expected surge in severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in 2019. In addition, US$ 2.45 million is required to rehabilitate 35 water schemes and provide durable safe water and sanitation for the most vulnerable children, including displaced children, in drought affected areas.
Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs
The Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and the Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) report that there is increased likelihood of drier than normal conditions for much of Ethiopia from June to September 2019. An early cessation of rains in eastern Ethiopia is also expected, potentially resulting in long dry spells. Despite some revitalization of water points for livestock and human consumption in some woredas1 in the Somali region, Borena and Guji zones of Oromia region, and South Omo zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' region (SNNPR) due to the Gu/Genna2 seasonal rainfall, improvements in livestock body conditions and productivity are not expected until the Deyr/Hageya season in October 2019.
Food security is expected to deteriorate in southern and south-eastern pastoral areas due to the poor performance of the Gu/Genna rains. These pastoral areas will remain in crisis (IPC Phase 3), with a risk of increased malnutrition. In addition, 190 cholera cases have been reported in Amhara plus 11 in Oromia regions since the start of the rainy season, further straining already under-resourced health systems.
Following the announcement of the Government-led strategic plan for the return and relocation of conflict-displaced people in April 2019, the Government has already implemented the first phase, with the reported return of over 1.4 million4 internally displaced people (IDPs) to their places of origin.
In the West Guji zone, Oromia region, Protection Monitoring Teams are reporting significant protection concerns among the returnees, especially for girls and women (over 51 per cent) and children (61 per cent) who are residing in temporary sites in their kebeles of origin and are vulnerable to exploitation, abuse and neglect. Children continue to be at risk of separation from their caregivers during the return process, with 594 children currently reported to be unaccompanied and separated, all of whom require family reunification services. Furthermore, the IDPs and returnees are hosted in drought-affected areas, thus exposing children to food insecurity. An increase in SAM among returnee children has been noted and more cases are expected as drought and displacements continue to compound existing vulnerabilities.
Without adequate investments in early actions in the drought-affected areas, children are exposed to increased vulnerabilities to disease outbreaks, malnutrition, and morbidity due to limited access to essential health care services and sanitation. Children are further exposed to exploitation and abuse, child marriage and child labour as a negative coping strategy, increased school dropouts and a decrease in regular school attendance due to migration for economic reasons and potential school closures. Investments in early actions for children in pastoral communities, such as the provision of fodder and water, restocking and veterinary care of livestock, are critical as children's milk intake in these areas could fall by 90 per cent with livestock depletion, leading to SAM.

To Love Is To Give – erev Rosh Hashanah
Exactly four months ago, on the weekend of May 3rd-4th, we celebrated our congregation's 18th year of existence: a number that in Hebrew is represented by the word chai – the letter chet plus yud, the numeric equivalent of 18 – the Hebrew word that means "life." It was an occasion, though not the only occasion, on which I have thought about significant moments in the lifetime of our congregation.
They include memories of experiences shared with you here and in distant locales: Cuba and Israel, where we have traveled as a synagogue, with plans to return to the Promised Land in 2014 on a Family Trip for parents and children in August, and an Adult Trip in October. The historic time line of our congregation can be found on our website, and scrolling through it gives you the opportunity to revisit moments that are meaningful to you much closer to home. I am not going to yield to the temptation to give voice to my own favorites on that 'stroll through synagogue time' but rather to share with you two 'teaching moments' along the way that you will not find on our website.
From 1994-2006 our Shabbat services were celebrated in the chapel at Gratz College in Melrose Park. Since we did not have our own synagogue, the Torah Scroll accompanied me from home to worship there, and back home again. People were accustomed to see me arrive in the parking lot at Gratz College, take the Torah from my car, and enter the building on my way to the chapel. Every Shabbat, after our morning service concluded, a local church arrived to hold its service in the adjacent auditorium…yes, on Shabbat afternoon…perhaps a Reform Unitarian church. One afternoon, following our Oneg Shabbat, I was standing by my car, reaching for my keys with one hand, the Torah Scroll in my other arm – the colorful mantle adorning it, the silver crowns sparkling on top – and as I paused beside my car to unlock it and place the Torah carefully inside, three of the church elders called out to me in the nicest, friendliest manner and asked with great sincerity, "Rabbi, can you play that bagpipe?"
I took no offense at their question, as humorous as it struck me, and it turned into a wonderful ten minute chat about Torah: what it is, how it is written, and why it is so important to us. They were genuinely interested, and that is what made the moment one that I remember so well because it led to a connection I shared with the three of them for the remaining years we were at Gratz. We greeted each other from that point on and, by then, they had changed their question to ask me, "Rabbi, are you taking good care of that Torah?"
The other moment occurred in March of this year. Sophia Kirk – a three year old in our Nursery School – was having dinner at a Jewish deli in Margate with her parents and sister. The waitress brought menus and a bread basket filled with challah slices. Sophia immediately took a piece of challah, stood up on her chair, held the challah over her head, and shouted to everyone in the deli, "Wait! Don't eat yet!" and with that proceeded to sing the motzi. Everyone in the restaurant who knew it joined her.
Since these are memories about connections, let's talk about how we connect with each other, and with others. If I were to ask you to recite the Sh'ma, you could easily do so. I also know that most of you could say the V'ahavtah:
וְאָהַבְתָ אֵת יְיָ אֱלוֹהֱיךָ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל נָפְֹשְךָ וּבְכָל מְאוֹדֶךָ
and perhaps not all of what follows, but you would move through the initial Hebrew words or their English translation with ease: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might" by which we mean "passion."
"What is the theme of the V'ahavtah?" Most people would undoubtedly respond with the word "love." After all, the word V'ahavtah is the injunction "You shall love." But love is not enough! One could love in a passive way, responding only when asked, and even then reluctantly.
From where does love flow and find its greatest meaning? The Hebrew word "love" is derived from the verb "to give." It is in giving of ourselves that we are in greater touch with our humanity. I want to tell you about two people who gave of themselves in ways that touched lives.
Two months after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor {December 7, 1941} our government forcibly relocated 120,000 Japanese-Americans on the West Coast out of their homes and into relocation camps for the duration of the war. As soon as President Roosevelt signed the executive order in February 1942, certain parts of the West became military zones. In the Sacramento area, many of those who were relocated were farmers who had worked the land in that region since at least the 1890s, and many of them were known to Bob Fletcher, a California agriculture inspector who was in his early 30s. The farmers considered him to be honest and respectful of their work.
Al Tzukamoto, whose parents arrived in the United States in 1905, approached Mr. Fletcher with a business proposal: would he be willing to manage the farms of two family friends of Mr. Tzukamoto's, one of whom was elderly, pay the taxes and mortgages while they were away, and in return keep all of the profits? Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Tzukamoto barely knew each other, and Mr. Fletcher had no experience growing the farmers' specialty, flame tokay grapes, but he accepted the offer and quit his job as State agriculture inspector.
For the next three years, from 1942-1945, he worked 90 acres on three farms, taking care of Mr. Tzukamoto's farm as well. He worked 18 hour days and lived in the bunkhouse that had been reserved for migrant workers. He paid the bills of all three families, and kept only half the profits.
Many Japanese-American families lost their property while they were in internment camps because they could not pay their bills, and most in the Sacramento area moved elsewhere after the war. When the Tzukamotos returned in 1945, they found that Mr. Fletcher had left them money in the bank and that his wife had cleaned the Tzukamoto home in preparation for their return. She had chosen to join her husband in the bunkhouse instead of accepting the Tzukamotos' offer to live in the family house.
In 2010, Mr. Fletcher was honored for his efforts on behalf of families who had been relocated. As the ceremony was about to commence, he said, "I don't know that [what I did] was about courage." I believe it was, especially given the fever-pitch of animosity and suspicion engendered by the government-inspired order of relocation. Bob Fletcher died this past May at the age of 101, and I would like to think that there were angels on his shoulders escorting him to a special place reserved for the righteous in the olam ha'ba/"the world to come."
The second person was a 24 year old law student, an accomplished mountain climber, who on May 19, 2012 prepared to ascend Mount Everest. In 2009, he read Jon Krakauer's {1997} best-selling account of his own Everest climb, Into Thin Air. After reading the book, he took a mountain-climbing course in the Alps. In 2010, he went rock climbing in Italy and later that year ascended Ama Dablam, a 22,294 foot-peak 15 miles south of Mount Everest. He ice-climbed in Scotland in 2011. He prepared for over a year to climb the highest peak on the planet, and spent more than two months at base camps on Everest's flank in March and April of 2012 to acclimatize himself to the altitude before making his push to the summit in May.
Danger lurked all along the way: falling rocks; avalanches; inclement weather that causes changes in snow and rock conditions; whiteouts; snow blindness; high winds that speed the onset of hypothermia; altitude sickness; solar radiation; equipment failure; fatigue that leads to falls; or falls from ice slopes into crevasses.
On the weekend of his ascent, about 200 other climbers were attempting to scale the summit. Between Camp IV and the summit is an area called "the death zone" because of the steep icy slope, treacherous conditions and low oxygen level. On the day of his climb, Nepali mountaineering official Gyanendra Shrestha said, "There was a traffic jam on the mountain. Climbers were still heading to the summit as late as 2:30 p.m. which is quite dangerous." Climbers are advised not to try for the summit after 11:00 a.m. Shrestha added, "Climbers had a longer wait for their chance to go up the trail and spent too much time at higher altitude. Many of them are believed to be carrying a limited amount of oxygen, not anticipating the extra time spent [waiting]." {The Times of Israel, May 22, 2012}
As the climber ascended beyond Camp IV, he passed two fresh corpses. He recognized them from the color of their down suits and oxygen masks which each had worn overnight at Camp IV. They were unresponsive to his efforts to wake them. They were two of four climbers who lost their lives on Everest that weekend on a route that was said to be "strewn with bodies." He moved onward and upward. Three hundred yards from the top, he saw another body lying in the snow. Other climbers just above him had seen the body and had kept going, but he stopped. He recognized the inert form by the color of the down suit and oxygen mask. He had spent time with that climber in Camps III and IV. He checked his vital signs and later said, "I had no second thoughts. I knew that I had to save him." He removed two of the three gloves that covered his right hand to be able to tie the climber to his harness: that act would result in frostbite to four of his fingers. Thirty minutes later his oxygen mask broke and two of his oxygen cylinders froze. The perilous nine hour descent to the nearest camp had barely begun. The man he was carrying was heavy, and would occasionally gain consciousness, scream, faint, and repeat the sequence many times on the way down the icy slope. There was danger that they would fall and that the unconscious climber would drag them both to their deaths, or that he would slip from his grasp. For nine hours he carried a man who was barely alive.
The man he saved had been returning from the summit but collapsed without an oxygen supply, a flashlight or a rucksack. His name is Aydin Irmak. He was born in Turkey. The man who saved him is Nadav ben Yehuda. He was born and raised in Rehovot, about twelve miles south of Tel Aviv. In 1992, Doron Erel became the first Israeli to conquer Everest. Nadav ben Yehuda would have been the youngest. He stopped his ascent just 300 yards from the top. He had delayed his climb by a day in the hope of avoiding the bottleneck of climbers headed for the top, and he thought that Irmak had already descended. When he saw the body, he knew that Irmak had been up there the entire time, overnight.
Recovering in Nepal, Irmak told reporters, "I talked to ben Yehuda's family today and I told them, 'You have another family in Turkey.'"
Asked why he did what he did, ben Yehuda said, "A person's life, any person's life, is more valuable than anything. I knew that I might lose my fingers, but that wasn't something I could worry about because that would be immoral."
A few months ago in Washington, I had the honor of hearing him speak. His presentation included photographs he had taken of Mount Everest, the route toward the summit, and the bodies of the climbers he stopped to help but who were already dead. Other slides showed the interior of his tents at the different camps, and of him in his downsuit and oxygen mask. His talk described his weeks on the flank of the mountain preparing for the ascent, and about his harrowing descent, with Irmak in his arms. It was more analytical than dramatic, though it did not lack for drama. He was candid about the risks climbers face, and the split-second decisions they sometimes have to make. He spoke about the inclination to ignore danger because of the time, energy and money spent to achieve one's dream, and that is why many die in "the death zone." He told us that he and Irmak one day hope to stand together on the top of Mount Everest.
Toward the end of his talk, someone asked him if there was anything in his Jewish education or upbringing that he believes might have led him to do what he did to save Irmak's life, abandoning his own dream to reach Everest's summit. He replied that Torah study in his childhood helped shape his values, and that his service in the IDF led to his instinctive decision to stop and render aid. As he said, "We are trained to never leave anyone in the field."
In conclusion, I ask you to consider two questions: "Who inspires you?" and "What inspires you?" Bob Fletcher and Nadav ben Yehuda brought the V'ahavtah to life because in Hebrew the word "love" finds its core meaning in the words "to give."
I think that the most important word in the V'ahavtah is
וְֹשִנַנְתָּם
"You shall teach them [values and ethics]." The words that follow are "recite them…inscribe them…remember to observe them…be holy."
On Yom Kippur, we will read these words in the Torah:
הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת…לֹא נִפְלֵאת הִוא מִמְּךָ וְלֹא רְחֹקָה הִוא…
כִּי קָרֹוב אֵליךָ הַדָּבָר מְאֹד בְּפִיךָ וּבִלְבָבְךָ לַעֲשֹתוֹ
"This instruction [to internalize and enact Jewish values] is not too difficult for you, or too remote…[Quite the contrary!] It is in your mouth and in your heart to do it!" {Deuteronomy 30:11, 14}.
The best teachers – at home, in classrooms, boardrooms and wherever else people gather – are those who teach through the example of how they lead their lives. We are not asked to be Bob Fletcher or Nadav ben Yehuda. This time of year – our journey toward teshuvah – calls us to be our 'better selves.'
It begins with the covenant, Torah, because we are 'The People of the Book,' not the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, but Torah: a living, breathing document through which God is made manifest through stories about our people, which is to say, about us.
The Torah Scroll, not a bagpipe, and the motzi – as through Sophia – bringing forth hope, like wheat springing forth from the land. All of it grounded in the belief that the essence of love,
אַהֲבָה
is our response to the imperative
וְאָהַבְתָ
to give of ourselves that we might be blessings to others.

Q: $_POST[] produces Undefined index: function checkInputs()
{
    $fname = $_POST["fname"];
    $lname = $_POST['lname'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
        ...
}
<form method = 'POST' action = 'index.php'>
    First Name:<input type = 'text' name = 'fname'>
    Last Name:<input type = 'text'name = 'lname'>
    Email:<input type = 'text' name = 'email'>
</form>

The function isn't called until a button is clicked.
Regardless I've tried putting the php tag after the page loads and regardless it still produces the error 'Undefined index : ... at Line

A: You need to check if the value exists first before trying to use it
If someone left the fname field blank and submitted your form then it would not be set in the $_POST var
$fname = isset($_POST["fname"]) ? $_POST["fname"] : NULL;

if ($fname == NULL) {
   echo "First name is required";
}

A: If you haven't wrapped that code in appropriate method checks, it'll run every time the page is loaded, whether a form has been submitted or not, e.g.
<?
function checkInputs() { blah blah blah }

checkInputs();
?>

<form ...>
...
</form>

will execute your checkInput function when the form is loaded AND when it's submitted. When the form is first loaded via get, $_POST will be empty (since the page was requested via a GET call), and you'll get those errors.
But if you have:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    checkInputs();
}

then your check function will only run when the script was invoked via a POST request.

Clinical differences among depressed patients with and without a history of suicide attempts: Findings from the STAR*D trial
Cynthia A. Claassen, Madhukar H. Trivedi, A. John Rush, Mustafa M. Husain, Sidney Zisook, Elizabeth Young, Andrew Leuchter, Stephen R. Wisniewski, G. K. Balasubramani, Jonathan Alpert
Background: This study sought to determine whether a history of suicide attempts among outpatients diagnosed with nonpsychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) is correlated with any difference in clinical presentation that should influence patient care. Methods: Baseline data from the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial on outpatients with MDD treated in primary and specialty care settings were used to model significant demographic and clinical correlates of suicide attempter status. Results: Altogether, 16.5% of participants (n = 667) reported prior suicide attempts. Controlling for age, gender, and depressive symptom severity, previous attempters had more current general medical conditions (μ = 3.2 vs. 2.9, p < .0001), more current alcohol/substance abuse (p < .0001), and more work hours missed in the past week (26.2% vs. 18.2%, p < .0001) than non-attempters. On average, for the previously suicidal, the onset of MDD occurred 8.9 years earlier in life (p < .0001) and had included 1.2 additional depressive episodes (p = 0.001) compared to those without prior suicidal behavior. Previous attempters also reported more current suicidal ideation (61.3% of previous attempters, adjusted OR 1.6, vs. 45.5% of nonattempters, p < .0001). Limitations: Presence or absence of a history of suicide attempts was determined only through self report. Conclusions: Those with a history of suicidal behavior suffer a greater burden of depressive illness. Earlier intervention and ongoing, aggressive care, including maintenance-phase pharmacotherapy, may be critical to mitigating the long-term consequences associated with this increased disease burden.

N1 - Funding Information: This project has been funded with Federal funds from the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, under Contract N01MH90003 to UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (P.I.: A.J. Rush). The content of this publication does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Department of Health and Human Services, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. The following pharmaceutical companies provided medication for STAR ⁎ D participants: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Forest Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline, King Pharma, Novartis, Organon, Pfizer, and Wyeth-Ayerst. Additional support was received from NIMH 5RO-1MH064062-02, "Computerized Decisional Support for the Treatment of Depression" (Drs. Trivedi and Claassen) and the Borderline and Timberlawn Research Foundations (Dr. Claassen).
N2 - Background: This study sought to determine whether a history of suicide attempts among outpatients diagnosed with nonpsychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) is correlated with any difference in clinical presentation that should influence patient care. Methods: Baseline data from the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial on outpatients with MDD treated in primary and specialty care settings were used to model significant demographic and clinical correlates of suicide attempter status. Results: Altogether, 16.5% of participants (n = 667) reported prior suicide attempts. Controlling for age, gender, and depressive symptom severity, previous attempters had more current general medical conditions (μ = 3.2 vs. 2.9, p < .0001), more current alcohol/substance abuse (p < .0001), and more work hours missed in the past week (26.2% vs. 18.2%, p < .0001) than non-attempters. On average, for the previously suicidal, the onset of MDD occurred 8.9 years earlier in life (p < .0001) and had included 1.2 additional depressive episodes (p = 0.001) compared to those without prior suicidal behavior. Previous attempters also reported more current suicidal ideation (61.3% of previous attempters, adjusted OR 1.6, vs. 45.5% of nonattempters, p < .0001). Limitations: Presence or absence of a history of suicide attempts was determined only through self report. Conclusions: Those with a history of suicidal behavior suffer a greater burden of depressive illness. Earlier intervention and ongoing, aggressive care, including maintenance-phase pharmacotherapy, may be critical to mitigating the long-term consequences associated with this increased disease burden.

Whatever your perspective or experience of onboarding (or induction) to a new place of work, one thing is for sure - like everything else emerging technology is giving it a serious shake-up and with change, comes opportunity. Changing the nightmarish urban-myths of being abandoned in a dark office on your first day with myriads of files to consume, to the competitive edge of technically driven onboarding experiences to recruit and retain the crème de la crème of candidates.
Onboarding is traditionally defined as simply the process of new employees completing paperwork, being orientated in their work space and learning about the policies and culture of the organisation. However, as working patterns (flexible, remote, home, global) and demand (increased competition for workforce) have broken the mould of the traditional 9am to 5pm workplace, onboarding has had to redefine itself too.
The process has become as much about listening to the new starters' needs (as learners) and engaging them as employees, as it is about informing them of the organisations needs and expectations. Elements such as welcome lunches, participation in webinars, setting career goals on learning systems and connecting with mentor opportunities are all are becoming more common within onboarding programmes.
Organisations realise the value that successful onboarding brings, not only in attracting but also retaining employees. As austerity and global recessions have heightened budget-scrutiny, it is more important than ever to get the right person for the right job. The value and kudos in more intangible company assets such as cultural and lifestyle aspects are also being realised too. Where some companies can't compete by more traditional methods of attracting candidates i.e. salary (public and third sector in particular), other elements of the job and organisation that are attractive need to be communicated in the best possible way from the outset i.e. the induction.
As the back-drop of technology within learning evolves at a rapid pace too, with it comes change and commercial opportunity to the onboarding landscape. The emergence of digital learning platforms has widened the scope and opportunity available to engage, onboard and even pre-board employees i.e. gain engagement or "sign up" from new starters before they even step foot inside their new place of work.
Technology knows no bounds of language, time zone or geography and with it comes the power to reach out into the homes and lives of new starters. Engaging and teaching them about everything from the cultures and values of the organisation to where their nearest coffee machine is and how to apply for annual leave. All this, at their fingertips, from the comfort of their own home - or on the bus - wherever it suits them.
As onboarding itself is becoming a more honed part of the L&D function, recognition that it is a strategic element and therefore potential influencer in key performance (KPIs) and ROI indicators of a business, is also becoming more apparent.
From the new starters' perspective, the onboarding process is a first impression of their new employer and we all know you never get a second chance to make one of those. It's a pre-cursor, giving an insight into how they will be nurtured as life-long-learners within the organisation going forward. For the organisation, onboarding is expensive averaging over 10% voluntary new hire attrition in year 1, the pressure to get it right is very real.
More and more studies are proving the theory that effective onboarding can have major positive business impact. Industry research leaders Brandon Hall cite "those with mature onboarding are, on average 83% more likely to see increases in key performance indicators and almost twice as likely to have practices that are strategic and effective". Mature organisations are defined below, with onboarding effectiveness strongly correlating to maturity level.
Powerful stats, and Brandon Hall go on to cite technology as the game-changer.
"Onboarding technology also increases the chances for increases in KPIs. Organisations using a technology solution are 167% more likely to see an increase in employee retention and 60% more likely to see an increase in employee engagement. Though the other impacts are more modest, it reinforces the importance of technology"
Put simply, effective organisations now onboard using technology.
It seems a no-brainer then for companies, and specifically their L&D function, to leverage the opportunity presented with onboarding to step into the era of learning technology and take the leap to digital onboarding. So much is to be gained. For as Charles Darwin said, "it is not the strongest or most intelligent who will survive, but the one who is most adaptable to change".

What the Heck is Chicano-Con?
One man grew tired of not being able to go to Comic-Con, so he created an event for his own people.
Five years in a row David Favela had tried to buy tickets for Comic-Con, the comic book gathering in San Diego that attracts fans by the thousands. One pass for the entire event costs about $200, and so many people want them, fans must wait in an online queue. Apparently, there was some secret technique Favela had never mastered—something that involved several computers at once. "It might be my own incompetence," he says, "It's really difficult."
This year brought another disappointment for the 48-year-old who learned to read English through comic books. Tickets sold out in a couple of hours. Favela, who runs a craft brewery with family, would miss it for the sixth year in a row.
Though Comic-Con holds events around the area—a gracious token for those left out of the main event—it doesn't come to Favela's home in Barrio Logan. This is the blue-collar Latino neighborhood squeezed between industrial areas, not even a mile south of the main event. If only there was something for his people—Chicanos, Favela thought. They could even call it Chicano-Con.
"There's a long history of being pushed around," Favela says of his neighborhood, "so we're used to doing our own thing."
Favelo grew up in a small home in Escondido, a small agricultural town about 30 minutes north of Barrio Logan. His parents came to California from Durango, Mexico with an elementary education. For a while, he and his five brothers and two sisters relied on public assistance, often in the form of government cheese. His parents carried home toys from The Salvation Army in plastic bags. Favela entered school speaking only Spanish. Even asking to use the restroom terrified him. He failed second grade three times.
"It was Christmas, maybe," Favela remembers. He was at The Salvation Army again as they passed out toys to kids. "Everyone else got cool gifts like bats and gloves, balls, things a kid would want. I got this comic book. So I was like, 'Okay, what am I going to do with this?"
On the first page, Favela saw a man with wings on his feet and a staff of snakes. He looked through it. And despite not knowing much English, the pictures helped fill in the gaps. He read more. And more. And by sixth grade, he was reading at a high school level. He graduated college; earned a master's degree at the University of San Diego, and was selected for a fellowship at Princeton.
Favela dreamed up Chicano-Con just a couple months ago. It's held in the 5,000-square-foot parking lot at Border X Brewery, which Favela owns with his brother and two nephews. They've set up a cape-making booth for kids and will have live music, local artists and artists from Tijuana, Mexico, and photos with lucha libre wrestlers. They've helped donate 1,500 comic books to kids.
"I wanted to bring that experience to the barrio for free," Favela says.
Last weekend, more than 350 people turned up. This weekend, he expects around 1,000.
For times, dates, to connect, or to check out more photos, visit the Chicano-Con Facebook page.

The first Delicate Balance was a newsletter sharing what we learned as our friend and partner, Cindi, went through diagnosis and remission of breast cancer, then relapse and traditional treatments.
As time has gone by, our lives have intertwined, gone off on our individual adventures and come back together again.
On March 30, 1998 Cindi passed into spirit. As in life, her first concerns were not for herself, but for how well her family and friends were prepared. When it was time, all her liveliness and enthusiasm left in one last quiet breath. For those of you still fighting the battle, may you use this site as a source for the same indomitable fighting spirit and will that is Cindi's legacy to us all.
What we present here is an eclectic display, ranging from the seriousness of cancer to the joyous teaching of angels.
We look on the Internet as the next last frontier, using it to distribute information, to promote business, yours, mine and ours, and to provide a place where conversations can start and lines of thought can spiral and intertwine, leading to the joy of creation.
Be advised that this site will be permanently under construction, and as in life, be prepared to enjoy the unfolding journey. . .

After watching the lesson, have each student do a 5-minute quick write in which they list as many aspects of their own personalities as they can think of.
Using their quick write as a resource, students create a concept web in which they analyze their own personalities according to major personality theories. In the center of a fresh sheet of paper, students draw a self-portrait that is labeled with their names and three defining personality traits.
From the self-portrait, students draw stems leading to the following titles: Psychoanalytic, Neo-Freudian, Behaviorism, and Humanistic theories.
From each of these titles, students draw stems to describe their personality in relationship to each of these theories. Students may use Internet sources to clarify their understanding of each theory.
Based on the information learned about themselves and each of the theories, students will write a brief paragraph explaining which theories they believe and why. Students will share their belief statement with a partner.

Bosque County (Meridian)
Posted on October 15, 2021 October 15, 2021 by Trey Wilson -- San Antonio Real Estate Attorney
Year Built: 1886.
Architect: J.J. Kane.
The Bosque County Courthouse is located in the City of Meridian, Texas. See the very informative narrative from its National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form HERE.
The 1886 Bosque County Courthouse, designed by Fort Worth architect J.J. Kane, is one of the oldest Texas courthouse structures in continuous use. The three-story limestone building is designed in high Victorian Gothic Revival style using an Italianate off-center clock tower and corner turret roofs.
In 1934, as part of a Works Progress Administration project, the design was significantly altered with the removal of the clock tower and entire roof structure, steel windows replacing wood, and a small one-story addition to the west façade. A flat concrete roof and cast stone parapet incorporating a single clock face completed the changes.
By the 1970s, a lowered ceiling reduced the two-story district courtroom to half its original height and dropped the height in most other spaces to accommodate mechanical and electrical installations.
Reconstruction of the original clock tower and the four corner roof turrets was the most dramatic change accomplished during the 2005-07 restoration. These large elements were fabricated in Paris, Texas, trucked to Meridian, and craned into position with hundreds of people watching.

How was the Global Peace Index (GPI) Founded in 2007?
Steve Killelea explains how he created the Global Peace Index, In this extract from Peace In The Age Of Chaos.
Steve Killelea on how he created the Global Peace Index (GPI)
In 2007 I launched a project called the Global Peace Index (GPI). It was the first study to rank the nations of the world by their levels of peacefulness, and it led to a plethora of other research.
The launch of the Index was very successful, with news articles appearing in over 100 countries. People were particularly interested in their country's relative ranking, generating a lot of discussion about their position in the Index.
More importantly, the Global Peace Index provided the base from which to analyse what factors are associated with highly peaceful societies and what sustains them. The result of this research became known as Positive Peace, a new and transformational approach to conceptualising societies.
Establishing the Institute for Economics and Peace in 2008
To undertake further research, I established the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) in 2008. The goal of the Institute was to better understand the intersection of business, peace and economics.
Also, to discover the factors most closely associated with highly peaceful societies and to ascribe an economic value to changes in peace. At the time of its founding most of the study of peace did not use quantitative techniques.
It was more subjective and usually based on the insights of highly experienced individuals and their observations. The focus on the quantitative aspects of peace, mainly through statistics, made the Institute unique.
The starting point in developing the Global Peace Index (GPI) was to determine what should be included in the Index, and we made the decision to take a broad approach and be as holistic as possible.
We expanded the data net to include not just warfare but also internal factors, such as criminality, terrorism and violence perpetuated by the state against its citizens.
Three domains of the index
This led to the inclusion of three domains within the Index – militarisation, conflict and societal safety – each of which could be studied individually but with a commonality between all three.
A mother whose son was a homicide victim in Baja California, Mexico, cares little if he was killed for criminal or ideological reasons or as a by-product of civil war or a drug war. His death is still an assault on peace.
After much thought we used 'The absence of violence or fear of violence' as the definition of peace. This was a definition that most people could agree on.
It is termed Negative Peace, as it measures the lack of violence, rather than measuring the positive factors that lead to the creation of peaceful societies. The GPI ranks 163 countries, which comprehensively covers over 99.7 per cent of the world's population.
We did not cover many of the smaller nations as it's too hard to get good data.
Some examples of the indicators included in the Index are the number of homicides, the ease of access to small arms, political instability, the impact of terrorism, and military expenditure, to name a few.
What the GPI did was provide the raw materials to better understand and debate the differences between nations and shed light on their changing levels of peace.
When the GPI was founded, I was struck by how important this initiative could be.
One simple observation was that politicians became interested in their country's rankings as the publicity for the GPI's findings grew, which in turn affected the perception of their country and their political capital.
When countries rose in the Index politicians would claim responsibility, and when they fell their political opponents would use it as a form of attack. As the data became more widely used by risk analysts, changes could also affect foreign investment and tourism, both positively and negatively.
Most pleasingly, the Index highlighted the countries that had improved. Peace is the absence of conflict, so it rarely gets media attention. We had now developed a way to shine a light on the positive, something the media usually does not do.
Publishing their improvements helped to raise these countries' profiles, aiding with inbound investment and tourism, thereby further improving their prospects for greater peace.
In some ways the timing of the Global Peace Index was opportune. Because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, their poor execution and in some instances the downright lies to rationalise them, there was growing public thirst for better approaches to international peace. That created an audience ready for our work.
Much of the debate on peace is muddied by misperceptions about both the nature of violence and how to create peace. This is partly because most politicians do not understand peace.
They do understand aggressive responses to threats that are popular with their citizens and often confuse these with peace. This is simply because in most instances they are ignorant of what truly creates peace.
There is, for example, the idea that we live in an exceptionally violent era, epitomised by rampant terrorism and the huge refugee flows of recent years, both of which are true.
However, the data uncovers a much more nuanced and complex situation. In the decade to 2019, 81 countries deteriorated in peace, while exactly the same number of countries improved, pointing to how finely balanced peace has actually been.
If the Middle East were taken out of the list of countries, then the world would have increased in peace over the decade.
Much of the lost peace of that decade has been due to the West's inability to solve some of the wars that it started. At the time of writing this book, the Afghanistan War had been running 18 years and the war in Iraq 16 years.
When viewed over millenniums, violence has been declining, almost since the dawn of time, as Steven Pinker pointed out in his book The Better Angels of Our Nature.

Establishing an empirical baseline
Establishing an empirical baseline helps build a solid argument to propagate a true understanding of what creates a peaceful society. Because without this how can we address the broader societal impulse to counter violence with more violence?
It's a natural human reaction. While there are justified wars, and nations need to support a level of military spending and policing capacity to maintain security, all too often fighting for peace is exactly the oxymoron it sounds like.
In part this is fuelled by our system. The media is driven by the negative, based on the assumption that negative news sells better than positive news. This creates a perception of rising crime and insecurity even when it is declining, often leading to unnecessary or even counter-productive responses.

Nikki Bella Explains Why She Wore Dress Intended for John Cena Wedding for Ceremony with Artem Chigvintsev
25/01/2023 Lifestyle Comments Off on Nikki Bella Explains Why She Wore Dress Intended for John Cena Wedding for Ceremony with Artem Chigvintsev
Her sister Brie Bella was against her choice to wear it
Nikki Bella is opening up about her decision to wear the dress originally intended for her wedding to John Cena during her recent nuptials with Artem Chigvintsev.
The 39-year-old WWE personality explained she viewed the dress as nothing more than a material object, and didn't feel it was fair to toss her dream dress due to any past history.
"I had the moment with that dress … when I saw it," Bella shared in an interview with Us Weekly. "It was all something that I dreamed of."

In fact, the "Incomparable" author claimed that holding on to the dress even after she and the 45-year-old wrestler parted ways gave her a sense of "empowerment."
"I went back and forth with that decision," Bella confessed and explained how she came to her final conclusion. "For me, it [reflects] how I stand as a strong woman, I was like wait, why should I not wear what I love? Because of my past? It just didn't make sense to me."
Not everyone in the reality star's life agreed with her decision. Nikki claimed her sister Brie Bella was against her choice to wear it until she said she'd only change her mind if Chigvintsev had "an issue with it."
Surprisingly enough, the 40-year-old "Dancing With The Stars" professional was "cool about it" and agreed with her logic.

"He looks at it as just a material thing. He probably wanted me to save money but then didn't realize I bought a few other dresses after," Nikki quipped.
Artem added, "I didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal for people to react how I reacted … I think [if there's] an issue with it, they're bringing some other energy into our happiness."
Bella and Cena pulled the plug on their six year engagement back in 2018. The "Total Bellas" star eventually moved on with Chigvintsev in 2019 and the couple broke the news of their engagement the following year. Nikki and Artem welcomed their son Matteo in July 2020 and married in August 2022 in Paris, France.

Web Site promotion should be the major part of your web site marketing plan. It's not enough just to design a beautiful web site and put in on the Net. Promoting your web site has to be done constantly if you want to get a continuous stream of traffic to it. If you don't drive traffic to your web site, your online business venture will soon fail.
1. Create a web site marketing plan - if you fail to plan then you default to a plan for failure. When designing your web site, create a plan on how to market it as well. Try to put yourself in your customers shoes when doing this. It's too easy to just view your web site from your own perspective. You need to have a clear vision for your business, goals (short and long term) you wish to achieve and the strategies of how you will accomplish them.
2. Define your target market - many online marketers promote their web site aimlessly in a field which is too large i.e. they may use bulk mailing as one of their promotion strategies. Of course you may get some visitors but the chances are you will not make many sales. Why? You have not narrowed your field of customers and targeted them. If you sold Cadillacs online for instance, you are not randomly going to market to every person on the Net. Your target market may be previous owners of cadillacs, or people who routinely purchase luxury American cars.
Getting targeted customers to your web site, will increase sales, because they will have more interest in your product or service than marketing to a general audience.
3. Use several promotion strategies - don't just stick to one form of promotion because you never know which one will work the best for you. If you use many channels i.e. search engines, email marketing, forums, writing articles etc you have a greater chance of getting more traffic to your web site.
4. Promote continuously - if you want to drive constant traffic to your web site, you must promote it continuously. Web traffic is the lifeblood of your online business. For example, you could constantly optimize your web pages for the search engines, resubmit them if needed, visit discussion forums every day and write an article for online publications every two weeks.
5. Calculate your return on investment (ROI) - this means keeping track of how much money you invested in your marketing plan and what profit you received in return. This will avoid wasting large sums of money thrown aimlessly into advertising.
If you calculate it takes 100 visitors to your web site to generate one sale and with each sale you make $10, then you shouldn't spend more than 10 cents to get each targeted visitor and still make a profit.
In order to know which aspects of your marketing campaign bring the most visitors, you must be able to monitor visitor activity to your web pages.
6. Analyze your web site traffic - by analyzing your web site traffic, you can determine what marketing strategies are successful. You can then change them as necessary, to boost the sales or services from your site.
Your analysis may include what keywords your visitors are using to find your web site, which web pages are the most popular and where your visitors are coming from. These are essential statistics you should know, instead of blindly promoting your web site and hoping for the best.
7. Test, monitor and track your results - to run an effective online marketing campaign, you need to constantly test what works and what doesn't. Tracking the response to an ad may cause you to refine it until it generates a great return on the money you invested. Once your results are satisfactory, you can then roll out your ads on a larger scale and spend greater sums of money.
You should also monitor your site in the search engines, so you can optimize your web pages for higher search engine rankings. This will attract more visitors which leads to higher profits.
Web site promotion strategies will differ for everyone, and will depend a lot on your product, web site and your personality. Try everything you can, record the results, and see what works for you.

Press Release – December 2016 – PIE NEWS PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS OF PEOPLE IN EUROPE
by fbotto | Dec 29, 2016 | Info Material, News
PIE NEWS PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS OF PEOPLE IN EUROPE
In the European Union, more than 122 million people (about 24% of the population) are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Even after social transfers, 17% of the population remains in such conditions. Among them, 9% of the European population is severely materially deprived – for example, being unable to pay the bills or face unexpected expenses (Eurostat, 2016).
In this context, the PIE News project is building a Collective Awareness Platform, commonfare.net, that will enable people in Europe to access information about poverty support measures, share good practices, and be engaged in networking activities. These are three components of the Commonfare, a new concept of welfare provision based on commonality and grassroots initiatives. The research project and the digital platform aim to supplement the existing public measures contrasting social conditions of Poverty, lack of Income and unEmployment, but also to promote experiences of Participation, Imagination, and Empowerment among European citizens.
How will the platform work? Imagine an unemployed single mother, Helena, living in the Netherlands. Because she has no access to childcare, her ability to work, volunteer, or develop herself through education or social engagement is limited. Using commonfare.net, Helena finds other women in the same situation in her city. Together, inspired by an Italian experience they see on the commonfare.net digital platform, they organize a self-managed, communal childcare arrangement. By coming together in this way, Helena and the other women in the childcare cooperative have been able to take more control over their own lives.
The commonfare.net platform will initially run in three countries: Croatia, Italy, and the Netherlands, but the team hopes to expand the platform to all other European countries. Initial launch is expected in Spring 2017. More information about the project is available at www.pieproject.eu
About PIE News – The PIE News project aims at improving conditions for the "new poor": that rising part of the European population composed of precarious workers, the working poor, people unprotected by safety nets, and young people who are no longer in the education system and experience difficulties in finding a job. In order to cope with these conditions, the project aims to promote experiences of Participation, Imagination, and Empowerment among European citizens.

Contacts – The PIE News Team is available to answer any questions, and can be contacted by e-mail (info@commonfare.net)
About the Project Pilots – The project will be developed by leveraging existing collaboration with local communities: the Centre for Peace Studies in Zagreb, Croatia; Basic Income Network Italy in Milan and Rome; and Museu da Crise in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, in the Netherlands.
About the Consortium – The project is being undertaken by an international team, comprising 8 organisations from 5 different countries, and it is funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 programme. The team comprises the Abertay University (United Kingdom), the Basic Income Network Italy, the Centre for Peace Studies (Croatia), CREATE-NET (Italy), Dyne.org (the Netherlands), Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (Portugal), Museu da Crise (The Netherlands) and the University of Trento (Italy, Project Coordinator).
About Horizon2020 – This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 687922. Horizon 2020 is the main EU Research and Innovation programme with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020).

This study set out to determine if omega-3 fish oil supplementation could improve both anxiety levels and inflammation in a group of 68 medical students who didn't have a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder but could be expected to be experiencing some level of anxiety as medical exams were coming up. The researchers measured anxiety levels, and took blood tests to measure markers of inflammation (known as proinflammatory cytokines). The subjects were given either a high dose fish oil (2g of the omega-3 EPA and 348mg of DHA) or a placebo capsule daily for 12 weeks. At this point, the measurements were taken again and these showed that those who had taken the fish oil had both lower levels of anxiety and lower levels of proinflammatory cytokines.

Birds Of Tokyo return with a brand new song – 'Daylight'
On the eve of their summer arena tour with Keith Urban, Ozrock titans Birds Of Tokyo drop a shimmering new track called "Daylight".
The infectious, California-tinged tune was produced by the band's guitarist Adam Spark and mixed by Rich Costey (Foo Fighters, Sigur Ros, The Killers, Sam Fender). "Daylight" swells like a sunrise so, appropriately, it was a new beginning for the band as well. With members now spread across three states, it is the first time the whole line-up has been able to record in the same space since their album Human Design hit #1 in the early days of the pandemic. "I kind of forgot what it sounds like when we're all playing together in real time", explains Adam Spark. "It just felt really fresh to be all working in one room after a couple of years of closed borders and all that. Maybe that's why this song feels so hopeful?"
Kenny adds "After not really being able to share space together for two years
we found a kind of rejuvenation in the studio this time round. Things felt new again. Daylight is our beacon song leading us into clearer and brighter days ahead."
Filmed by the band's long-time creative collaborator, Kane Hibberd, the accompanying video is a fly on the wall glimpse of the band finally getting back into the studio.
