The National Breast Cancer Foundation celebrates 28 years of the pink ribbon during Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Published Oct 8, 2020 • Updated Oct 9, 2020 • By Candice Salomé
For the 28th consecutive year, "Breast Cancer Awareness Month", a campaign against breast cancer organized by the National Breast Cancer Foundation and other breast cancer organizations worldwide, will take place from October 1st to 31st. Recognizable by its legendary pink ribbon, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to put the spotlight on patients living with the disease, to increase information about screening and treatment, and to raise funds to help medical research.
But where did the idea for Breast Cancer Awareness Month come from? What does the pink ribbon symbol mean? What events are planned for October? How can you make a donation?
We tell you everything in our article!
From October 1-31st, 2020, numerous initiatives are being put in place to support research and raise awareness of breast cancer screening for the general public. Health professionals, non-profit organizations and associations are rallying around the world for the same cause.
Breast cancer affects nearly 280,000 women and 2,600 men and causes almost 43,000 deaths each year. However, themortality rate for breast cancer has dropped 40% in the past 25 years (91% of women survive non-metastatic breast cancer for five years or more) due, in particular, to better screening and the development of increasingly effective therapies.
What is Breast Cancer Awareness Month exactly?
In 1992, Evelyn H. Lauder co-created the pink ribbon and founded The Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Campaign (formerly known as The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign) to shine a spotlight on the global health issue that is breast cancer. Leading the way in the awareness movement, she created the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), a non-profit organization, a year later to raise funding for breast cancer research. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) was founded in 1991 by a breast cancer survivor with the mission of helping women by providing help and hope to people affected by breast cancer througheducation,early detection, andsupport services.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is therefore a month dedicated to raising awareness about early detection of breast cancer. Thousands of events are held throughout the US: walks and marathons, free screening campaigns, raffles, bake sales, exhibitions, brand collaborations and more!
Every year in October, NBCF leads the way incampaigning, volunteering andfundraising to help provide care and support for those impacted by breast cancer and fuel research into the disease.
This year, knowing that 46% of gamers in the US are female, NBCF has launched Game Pink, a video-game focused fundraising initiative bringing together the gaming community and breast cancer awareness. In the initiative, gamers can fundraise for breast cancer research by creating a charity stream of their gameplay on streaming platforms. Gamers are also invited to share their stories of how breast cancer has affected them or their loved ones.
All these efforts are intended to support the efforts of clinical or foundational research, as well as remarkable innovations and progress in screening techniques, reconstructive surgery, psychology or improving the quality of life for women with breast cancer.
Why the pink ribbon?
The ribbon has been a universal symbol of support and awareness since 1979, when Penney Laingen, hung yellow ribbons on trees to raise awareness and demand the release of her husband and others held hostage during the Iran hostage crisis. The use of ribbons as a sign of support has been well documented throughout cultural history, but Penney was the first woman to use it publicly as a silent "protest" symbol.
In the early 1990s, the red ribbon was used in the fight against the AIDS virus.
Charlotte Hayley, a breast cancer survivor, attached preach colored breast cancer awareness ribbons to thousands of cards in a grassroots awareness movement. In 1992, Alexandra Penney, editor-in-chief of Self magazine, designed a ribbon inspired by Hayley's to promote the fight against breast cancer and asked the Estée Lauder group to distribute at its counters across the country. And it was off: pink ribbons can now be found at every Estée Lauder counter in the United States.
The iconic pink color chosen for the ribbon is pink #150 from Offray, the largest ribbon company in the world. According to Breast Cancer Action which also campaigns against breast cancer, "pink is a feminine, soft, cheerful color that evokes good health, all that cancer is not".
Today, the pink ribbon is the international symbol of the fight against breast cancer. Wearing one shows one's commitment to breast cancer awareness and solidarity with breast cancer patients.
How to participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month? What kind of events are there?
Throughout the month of October countless events are held across the US to raise awareness, campaign and fundraise for the cause. You can participate by joining in on Game Pink, by holding a charity fundraiser at home or through an event, by joining the breast cancer campaign, by making a donation or by celebrating at a social event.
For years, one of the highlights of Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been the illumination of landmarks around the world in the iconic pink.

Why go for regular breast cancer screening?
For the 2019 Breast Cancer Campaign, The Estée Lauder Companies U.K. & Ireland revealed new research which found that one in five women in the UK (21%) under the age of 40 had done a self-check of their breasts for signs of cancer. Following these findings they published a short film discussing the survey results, sharing stories of women who have been affected by breast cancer and encouraging women to be mindful of their breast health and to regularly check their breasts for signs of changes.
Indeed, in the US, about 1 in 8 women is at risk for developing breast cancer in her lifetime. However, if the cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be cured in 9 out of 10 cases. According to Dr. Anne Vincent-Salomon, President of the Scientific Committee of the French Pink Ribbon Awards:"Although breast cancer remains the leading cause of death from cancer in women, with 12,146 deaths in France in 2018, several important observations give cause for hope: firstly, the decrease in the mortality rate of -1.3% per year observed between 2005 and 2012; secondly, post-treatment survival for breast cancer has clearly improved and now reaches 87% after 5 years (nearly 9 out of 10 women), compared to 80% in 1993".
When to seek medical advice?
You should see a doctor if you notice a lump, pain, redness and/or abnormal discharge in your breasts.
Whatever your age, you should have your breasts examined once a year by your GP or gynecologist.
From the age of 40, you should make an appointment for a mammogram every 1 or 2 years.
The earlier a breast cancer is detected, the greater the chances of a complete cure.

Cancer Diagnosis: Carenity Members Tell Their Story


Is that a red "3" on the nose door? and does the history of Me 262 A-2a 110662 fit?
No to the Werknummer; likely yes for the number 3 that it is red.
Regarding the wappen, it is not visible in the presented image. It is in another.
Oblt. Kornagel was killed in "Red 1" as Ausbildung-Kommando II./KG(J) 54 was departing on 28th April 1945; the remaining aircraft, i.e. "Red 2" and "Red 3" flew over to Munchen-Riem the following day."
I wondered whether the "(1o)" referred to its previous V-kenn.
PAUKNER, ? , 29.04.45 Lt., II./KG(J) 54 lost Me 262 A-1 (B3+Red4) [sic] shot up by strafers at Erding."
Erding is about 15 km. from Moosburg.
My previous brief missive was from a church hall and thus not accessible to my files (and memory for that matter...). Thanks for the reminder. I have lots of projects and files on the go (Luftwaffe and Panzerwaffe) keeping track becomes a challenge.
For some background, I have been studying this aircraft for 30 years and came back to it from time to time. Bit by bit more information and insights were revealed as photos appear, though none crisp and sharp. And documentary material, well, scraps at best. Radtke (1990) mentions four aircraft II./KG(J) 54 (Reds 1-4) and that they were lost, one to a crash landing at Prag-Rusin (ro.1), and the remaining three destroyed by Allied fighter-bomber attacks at Fürstenfeldbuck (ro.3), and Erding (ro.2 and ro.4). Three unidentified machines appear in the listing on page 271 dated 4 April but assigned to I. Gruppe. and two at Innsbruck on 8 May. No source documents are noted but there must have been some source.
The document in the JaPo book (2012) has much greater detail on these machines. Suffice to say that there remains some data gaps. And as I have written in the past (prior to the book's writing and publication), its physical attributes put "10 / 3" as an A-2a in the mid-1105xx to 1106xx production group. This document identifies that aircraft as 110662. Yet it took some time to get a clear view to confirm without a doubt the presence of the '10', whereas the '3' was visible in the four o'clock view in Jim Crow's photo from the mid 1980s (its first known image, and incorrectly identified as being at Herzogenaurach).
For the record, until the document's discovery, I had it narrowed down to 110662, 110665, and 110668 per Dan O'Connell's and Radtke's listings. The first werknummer was the most promising, but still... A colleague of mine and I recently had access to the original of the recent side view photo and except for the last digit, the remainder were just readable. But most importantly, the '10' was at last clearly seen - that clinched it for certain.
So, while hedging my interpretation over the years, based on all these data and the new image, the machine can be identified as 110662.
Now to figure out who was the pilot.
Thank you for keeping this thread alive. I appreciate our correspondence, and your interest and insights on these colourful birds.
I must say that the new frontal view of the aircraft was a God-send. The '3' was clear on the nose wheel door, and I was delighted to see the yellow and white painted nose that added even more confirmation this was a KG(J) 54 kite. As stated, in the earlier photos the '3' could be seen but not clearly, and the '10' was frustrating hard to discern. At first it looked like the '1' was a fuel stain.
Nevertheless, all the pieces have fallen into place. I guess two questions remain: who was its pilot, and where did the other machine end up? More fun...!
PS: I forgot to mention I am wrapping up research on Steinhoff's last aircraft and it will be published through Andrew and Morton's website. Might be time to step back from Me 262s and look at other things piling up on the desk (and finish a tank kit for the local show in April!).
Last edited by David E. Brown; 12th January 2019 at 15:42. Reason: The PS.
I look forward to seeing your article on Steinhoff's bird. Your insights have always been thoughtful and carefully presented.
I wish you well in whatever endeavours you choose.
The collaborative spirit exhibited by members of this discussion board is exemplary, and collectively we have generated much new knowledge and information on the Luftwaffe.
and I thanks you two for sharing your knowledge with all the members interested by your answers.
David and I have been going over this airplane from nose to tail for a few weeks now. We've confirmed it is W. Nr. 110662, both through documentary and photographic evidence. I have the original photo that Franck posted above. Scanned at 4800dpi, we were able to clearly see 11066, and the last digit was either a 2 or an 8. Documentary evidence showed it was a 2. The KG(j)54 emblem is painted over as well, but not visible in that photo. We have three shots of this airplane, from the front, 1/4 front and direct profile. It is all pretty plain to see when comparing all three photos.
Scanned at 4800dpi, the "10" is plainly visible, in fact moreso than the Red 3.

Shuyaku Soudatsusen''''' was a fighting [[Sailor Moon Games|video game]] released for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System Super Nintendo] on March 29, 1996. It was a sequel to the game ''[[Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen]]''. ==Gameplay== {| border=1 style="text-align: center; float: left; margin-right: 5px;" | http://www.wikimoon.org/images/games/smsszsssmain.jpg |- | style="background:#ffcccc" | Gameplay screenshot |} The main plot of the game, developed in the story mode, was that the [[Sailor Senshi]] were fighting to choose a new leader. After defeating an enemy, [[Sailor Moon]] was teased by [[Sailor Chibi Moon]] and [[Sailor Mars]], who called her undependable. The rest of the Sailor Senshi then decided to have a contest to choose a new leader. The Senshi chosen by the player must then fight every one of the [[Solar System Senshi]], including [[Sailor Saturn]], who was missing in the previous game. If the player beat every Senshi, that character obtained the leadership, which meant that the the main screen of the game and the begining of the story mode changed to reflect it. The system was similar to that of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter Street Fighter] games, with secret moves, special techniques, and desperation attacks which were available either when the Sailor Senshi had almost run out of energy or when it was ten seconds before time over. The techniques were performed by a combination of buttons, but there was an "auto" mode in the game with easier shortcuts. Besides story mode, there were two "versus" modes (against the game and against a second player), a "tournament" mode, and a "training" mode, where the player could learn and practice the character's moves. In every mode except tournament and training the player could access the "Ability Customize System," in which the player had ten points (or fifteen in versus mode) to distribute between several aspects of the character, including their special attack, physical attacks, physical strength, playfulness (which increased the chance that an attack would not work, leaving the character vulnerable and unable to move for several seconds), defense, and ? (an option which increased the strength of the character's desperation attack). All ten [[Solar System Senshi]] were available in the game, but not in every mode. Only Sailor Moon, the four [[Senshi of the Inner Solar System|Inner Senshi]], and Sailor Chibi Moon were available for play in the story mode, even though the [[Senshi of the Outer Solar System|Outer Senshi]] had to be defeated in that mode. The Outer Senshi could, however, be used as playable characters in other modes. [[Tuxedo Mask]] appeared to talk about the Senshi's perfomance in battles, but he was not playable in any mode. Each character normally used attacks from the [[Sailor Moon SuperS]] season, but previous techniques such as [[Moon Tiara Action]] and [[Venus Love-Me Chain]] were present too. Even when Sailor Chibi Moon was in her Super form she could use [[Pink Sugar Heart Attack]] with the [[Pink Moon Stick]]. Some attacks from the [[Sailor Moon (manga)|manga]] were present as well, such as [[Jupiter Coconut Cyclone]], [[Chronos Typhoon]], or [[Mars Snake Fire]]. There were also attacks created specifically for the video games, such as [[Silence Buster]], [[Action Spinster]], or [[Fire Heel Drop]]. [[Category: Video Games]]

Definitely H&M! I never walk out of that place empty-handed. The new Blue collection is simply amazing!
I'm really digging jeggins at the moment.
Not sure if it's a trend, but I thought asymmetrical eyebrows at Erin Wassan x rvca were mad ugly.
I've been blogging since the 6th grade, but I didn't know then about the whole blogging community and how it all worked. I only started taking part in it when I discovered some inspiringly awesome blogs (Childhood Flames was the first blog I ever discovered!) and wanted to comment and contribute my own share.
Very casual, toned-down asian punk. I like to wear graphic or band t-shirts with skinny jeans, over-sized cardigans and sneakers a lot. I recently got a pair of Doc Martens and I've been really inspired by it and have been quite punky in my styling lately.
Those Alexander Wang fierce sunglasses are making me drool! I'd love to find a cheaper version of them. Oh, and I'm dying to buy some more gladiator heels!
I like the interview! Thanks for introducing us to such great blogs!
this is great. & ugh those eyebrows were ugly.
cool pictures, love the first outfit!
Wicked t on the first pic!!
hey! thanks for your comment! I am jealous of her shoe collection!

Last year the Union Room and Projector teams conquered Mount Snowdon in Wales in the name of charity, namely the newly formed Harrison Foundation.
Now it's a little over a year since we braved the Welsh valleys and some of the team have only just recovered from the quite frankly horrific trek up the Welsh mountain. But, the kind souls we are (and gluttons for punishment I may add) we are beginning to plan our next venture out into the big wide world.
We are still in the stages of thinking about what we want to do, which is where we'd like some help from perhaps the more active people in the design community.
Meanwhile, here are some pictures of our trip up Snowdon for some inspiration / giggles.

Rainbow Six Siege Honours Fallen Esports Player 'KiXSTAr' With In-Game Tribute
by Dani Cross
The Rainbow Six Siege developer has honoured fallen player/caster KiXSTAr by adding a tribute to him in-game.
Michael "KiXSTAr" Stockley sadly passed away last year on October 11th at the age of 24 years-old. He was a well-known professional player-turned-caster, and news of his death shocked the game's community.
Now, Ubisoft has added a plaque with KiXSTAr's logo to the bottom stairs of Plane with the latest update. Players may know this location as the place where he got his famous ace. And now, they'll be able to see his logo whenever they play the map.
KIXSTAR WAS PUT ON PLANE https://t.co/03hqliO1rs pic.twitter.com/em1WuTKbH1
— Kaosx (@sirKaosx) January 25, 2022
It was in this location where KiXSTAr wiped out five players in less than 10 seconds to score an ace. It's very thoughtful of the developers to add this tribute in such an iconic spot.

In a statement from his mother and step-father, they said KiXSTAr "worked hard to lift up the R6 Siege community", and "in turn so many lifted him up as well." There's no doubt this is true, and KiXSTAr did a lot to bring positivity to the game.
KiXSTAr played professionally in 2016 with Team Orbit. He later branched out into broadcasting, where he became a caster for the game and earned a reputation for his commentary. KiXSTAr casted many tournaments including the Six Invitational and the Six Mexico Major. He continued to do this role up until he passed away in 2021.
It's definitely saddening to think of how young he was and how much more he planned to do. However, this tribute should go a long way towards immortalizing him within the game itself. It's a great tribute by the team working on Rainbow Six Siege and a touching thing to see.
What do you think of this tribute to KiXSTAr in Rainbow Six Siege? Feel free to share your thoughts on our social media channels.

Over half of Arabs in Israel live in poverty. Within this population, there are 200,000 women of working age who have no post-school qualifications. Sindyanna refuses to regard them as a lost generation. Instead, the social enterprise seeks to empower these women and help them acquire skills appropriate for the modern Israeli labour market. These skills include basket weaving, independent small business management and the Hebrew language, which is a condition for seeking work.
With growing concerns about non-inclusive workplaces and public spaces, global reports outlining rising inequality and #metoo, the World Fair Trade Organization's (WFTO) studies on gender equality and empowerment comes as a breath of fresh air.
Right from the beginning our approach was to build some strong connections with the communities, a bridge leading eventually to trust each other; then we trained the women in order to make sure they would have the skills to take full responsibility for managing their business; and of course, a strong focus on quality!
As a woman importer I appreciate the commitment to 'upskill' that the weavers are undertaking to produce the difficult weave, which uses 6 batons rather than the usual 2/3, ensuring the weaver is paid more for their skill - which can take months to perfect.
It is essential this information is passed onto the consumer, as a women led supply chain is generally more empathetic to the way a product is produced and less likely to drive down the price – hence there needs to be a 'safeguard' in place when taking the product to the wider market.

Top 25 Excel Formulas You Should Know
By Shruti MLast updated on Dec 9, 20211287860
Microsoft Excel is the go-to tool for working with data. There are probably a handful of people who haven't used Excel, given its immense popularity. Excel is a widely used software application in industries today, built to generate reports and business insights. Excel supports several in-built applications that make it easier to use.
One such feature that allows Excel to stand out is - Excel formulas. In this article, we'll be discussing the various Microsoft Excel functions and formulas. These formulas and functions enable you to perform calculations and data analysis faster. Here, we will look into the top 25 Excel formulas that one must know while working on Excel. The topics that we will be covering in this article are as follows:
What is Excel Formula?
Excel Formulas and Functions
Business Analyst Master's Program
Gain expertise in Business analytics toolsExplore Program
In Microsoft Excel, a formula is an expression that operates on values in a range of cells. These formulas return a result, even when it is an error. Excel formulas enable you to perform calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In addition to these, you can find out averages and calculate percentages in excel for a range of cells, manipulate date and time values, and do a lot more.
There is another term that is very familiar to Excel formulas, and that is "function". The two words, "formulas" and "functions" are sometimes interchangeable. They are closely related, but yet different. A formula begins with an equal sign. Meanwhile, functions are used to perform complex calculations that cannot be done manually. Functions in excel have names that reflect their intended use.
The example below shows how we have used the multiplication formula manually with the '*' operator.
Fig: Microsoft Excel Formula
This example below shows how we have used the function - 'PRODUCT' to perform multiplication. As you can see, we didn't use the mathematical operator here.
Fig: Microsoft Excel Function
Excel formulas and functions help you perform your tasks efficiently, and it's time-saving. Let's proceed and learn the different types of functions available in Excel and use relevant formulas as and when required.
There are plenty of Excel formulas and functions depending on what kind of operation you want to perform on the dataset. We will look into the formulas and functions on mathematical operations, character-text functions, data and time, sumif-countif, and few lookup functions.
Let's now look at the top 25 Excel formulas you must know. In this article, we have categorized 25 Excel formulas based on their operations. Let's start with the first Excel formula on our list.
1. SUM
The SUM() function, as the name suggests, gives the total of the selected range of cell values. It performs the mathematical operation which is addition. Here's an example of it below:
Fig: Sum function in Excel
As you can see above, to find the total amount of sales for every unit, we had to simply type in the function "=SUM(C2:C4)". This automatically adds up 300, 385, and 480. The result is stored in C5.
2. AVERAGE
The AVERAGE() function focuses on calculating the average of the selected range of cell values. As seen from the below example, to find the avg of the total sales, you have to simply type in "AVERAGE(C2, C3, C4)".
Fig: Average function in Excel
It automatically calculates the average, and you can store the result in your desired location.
3. COUNT
The function COUNT() counts the total number of cells in a range that contains a number. It does not include the cell, which is blank, and the ones that hold data in any other format apart from numeric.
Fig: Microsoft Excel Function - Count
As seen above, here, we are counting from C1 to C4, ideally four cells. But since the COUNT function takes only the cells with numerical values into consideration, the answer is 3 as the cell containing "Total Sales" is omitted here.
If you are required to count all the cells with numerical values, text, and any other data format, you must use the function 'COUNTA()'. However, COUNTA() does not count any blank cells.
To count the number of blank cells present in a range of cells, COUNTBLANK() is used.
4. SUBTOTAL
Moving ahead, let's now understand how the subtotal function works. The SUBTOTAL() function returns the subtotal in a database. Depending on what you want, you can select either average, count, sum, min, max, min, and others. Let's have a look at two such examples.
Fig: Subtotal function in Excel
In the example above, we have performed the subtotal calculation on cells ranging from A2 to A4. As you can see, the function used is "=SUBTOTAL(1, A2: A4), in the subtotal list "1" refers to average. Hence, the above function will give the average of A2: A4 and the answer to it is 11, which is stored in C5.
Similarly, "=SUBTOTAL(4, A2: A4)" selects the cell with the maximum value from A2 to A4, which is 12. Incorporating "4" in the function provides the maximum result.
Fig: Count function in Excel
5. MODULUS
The MOD() function works on returning the remainder when a particular number is divided by a divisor. Let's now have a look at the examples below for better understanding.
In the first example, we have divided 10 by 3. The remainder is calculated using the function "=MOD(A2,3)". The result is stored in B2. We can also directly type "=MOD(10,3)" as it will give the same answer.
Fig: Modulus function in Excel
Similarly, here, we have divided 12 by 4. The remainder is 0 is, which is stored in B3.
The function "Power()" returns the result of a number raised to a certain power. Let's have a look at the examples shown below:
Fig: Power function in Excel
As you can see above, to find the power of 10 stored in A2 raised to 3, we have to type "= POWER (A2,3)". This is how power function works in Excel.
7. CEILING
Next, we have the ceiling function. The CEILING() function rounds a number up to its nearest multiple of significance.
Fig: Ceiling function in Excel
The nearest highest multiple of 5 for 35.316 is 40.
Contrary to the Ceiling function, the floor function rounds a number down to the nearest multiple of significance.
Fig: Floor function in Excel
The nearest lowest multiple of 5 for 35.316 is 35.
9. CONCATENATE
This function merges or joins several text strings into one text string. Given below are the different ways to perform this function.
In this example, we have operated with the syntax =CONCATENATE(A25, " ", B25)
Fig: Concatenate function in Excel
In this example, we have operated with the syntax =CONCATENATE(A27&" "&B27)
Those were the two ways to implement the concatenation operation in Excel.
10. LEN
The function LEN() returns the total number of characters in a string. So, it will count the overall characters, including spaces and special characters. Given below is an example of the Len function.
Fig: Len function in Excel
Let's now move onto the next Excel function on our list of this article.
11. REPLACE
As the name suggests, the REPLACE() function works on replacing the part of a text string with a different text string.
The syntax is "=REPLACE(old_text, start_num, num_chars, new_text)". Here, start_num refers to the index position you want to start replacing the characters with. Next, num_chars indicate the number of characters you want to replace.
Let's have a look at the ways we can use this function.
Here, we are replacing A101 with B101 by typing "=REPLACE(A15,1,1,"B")".
Fig: Replace function in Excel
Next, we are replacing A102 with A2102 by typing "=REPLACE(A16,1,1, "A2")".
Finally, we are replacing Adam with Saam by typing "=REPLACE(A17,1,2, "Sa")".
Let's now move to our next function.
12. SUBSTITUTE
The SUBSTITUTE() function replaces the existing text with a new text in a text string.
The syntax is "=SUBSTITUTE(text, old_text, new_text, [instance_num])".
Here, [instance_num] refers to the index position of the present texts more than once.
Given below are a few examples of this function:
Here, we are substituting "I like" with "He likes" by typing "=SUBSTITUTE(A20, "I like","He likes")".
Fig: Substitute function in Excel
Next, we are substituting the second 2010 that occurs in the original text in cell A21 with 2016 by typing "=SUBSTITUTE(A21,2010, 2016,2)".
Now, we are replacing both the 2010s in the original text with 2016 by typing "=SUBSTITUTE(A22,2010,2016)".
That was all about the substitute function, let's now move on to our next function.
13. LEFT, RIGHT, MID
The LEFT() function gives the number of characters from the start of a text string. Meanwhile, the MID() function returns the characters from the middle of a text string, given a starting position and length. Finally, the right() function returns the number of characters from the end of a text string.
Let's understand these functions with a few examples.
In the example below, we use the function left to obtain the leftmost word on the sentence in cell A5.
Fig: Left function in Excel
Shown below is an example using the mid function.
Fig: Mid function in Excel
Here, we have an example of the right function.
Fig: Right function in Excel
14. UPPER, LOWER, PROPER
The UPPER() function converts any text string to uppercase. In contrast, the LOWER() function converts any text string to lowercase. The PROPER() function converts any text string to proper case, i.e., the first letter in each word will be in uppercase, and all the other will be in lowercase.
Let's understand this better with the following examples:
Here, we have converted the text in A6 to a full uppercase one in A7.
Fig: Upper function in Excel
Now, we have converted the text in A6 to a full lowercase one, as seen in A7.
Fig: Lower function in Excel
Finally, we have converted the improper text in A6 to a clean and proper format in A7.
Fig: Proper function in Excel
Now, let us hop on to exploring some date and time functions in Excel.
15. NOW()
The NOW() function in Excel gives the current system date and time.
Fig: Now function in Excel
The result of the NOW() function will change based on your system date and time.

16. TODAY()
The TODAY() function in Excel provides the current system date.
Fig: Today function in Excel
The function DAY() is used to return the day of the month. It will be a number between 1 to 31. 1 is the first day of the month, 31 is the last day of the month.
Fig: Day function in Excel
The MONTH() function returns the month, a number from 1 to 12, where 1 is January and 12 is December.
Fig: Month function in Excel
The YEAR() function, as the name suggests, returns the year from a date value.
Fig: Year function in Excel
17. TIME()
The TIME() function converts hours, minutes, seconds given as numbers to an Excel serial number, formatted with a time format.
Fig: Time function in Excel
18. HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND
The HOUR() function generates the hour from a time value as a number from 0 to 23. Here, 0 means 12 AM and 23 is 11 PM.
Fig: Hour function in Excel
The function MINUTE(), returns the minute from a time value as a number from 0 to 59.
Fig: Minute function in Excel
The SECOND() function returns the second from a time value as a number from 0 to 59.
Fig: Second function in Excel
19. DATEDIF
The DATEDIF() function provides the difference between two dates in terms of years, months, or days.
Below is an example of a DATEDIF function where we calculate the current age of a person based on two given dates, the date of birth and today's date.
Fig: Datedif function in Excel
Now, let's skin through a few critical advanced functions in Excel that are popularly used to analyze data and create reports.
20. VLOOKUP
Next up in this article is the VLOOKUP() function. This stands for the vertical lookup that is responsible for looking for a particular value in the leftmost column of a table. It then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify.
Below are the arguments for the VLOOKUP function:
lookup_value - This is the value that you have to look for in the first column of a table.
table - This indicates the table from which the value is retrieved.
col_index - The column in the table from the value is to be retrieved.
range_lookup - [optional] TRUE = approximate match (default). FALSE = exact match.
We will use the below table to learn how the VLOOKUP function works.
If you wanted to find the department to which Stuart belongs, you could use the VLOOKUP function as shown below:
Fig: Vlookup function in Excel
Here, A11 cell has the lookup value, A2: E7 is the table array, 3 is the column index number with information about departments, and 0 is the range lookup.
If you hit enter, it will return "Marketing", indicating that Stuart is from the marketing department.
21. HLOOKUP
Similar to VLOOKUP, we have another function called HLOOKUP() or horizontal lookup. The function HLOOKUP looks for a value in the top row of a table or array of benefits. It gives the value in the same column from a row you specify.
Below are the arguments for the HLOOKUP function:
lookup_value - This indicates the value to lookup.
table - This is the table from which you have to retrieve data.
row_index - This is the row number from which to retrieve data.
range_lookup - [optional] This is a boolean to indicate an exact match or approximate match. The default value is TRUE, meaning an approximate match.
Given the below table, let's see how you can find the city of Jenson using HLOOKUP.
Fig: Hlookup function in Excel
Here, H23 has the lookup value, i.e., Jenson, G1:M5 is the table array, 4 is the row index number, 0 is for an approximate match.
Once you hit enter, it will return "New York".
22. IF
The IF() function checks a given condition and returns a particular value if it is TRUE. It will return another value if the condition is FALSE.
In the below example, we want to check if the value in cell A2 is greater than 5. If it's greater than 5, the function will return "Yes 4 is greater", else it will return "No".
Fig: If function in Excel
In this case, it will return 'No' since 4 is not greater than 5.
'IFERROR' is another function that is popularly used. This function returns a value if an expression evaluates to an error, or else it will return the value of the expression.
Suppose you want to divide 10 by 0. This is an invalid expression, as you can't divide a number by zero. It will result in an error.
The above function will return "Cannot divide".
23. INDEX-MATCH
The INDEX-MATCH function is used to return a value in a column to the left. With VLOOKUP, you're stuck returning an appraisal from a column to the right. Another reason to use index-match instead of VLOOKUP is that VLOOKUP needs more processing power from Excel. This is because it needs to evaluate the entire table array which you've selected. With INDEX-MATCH, Excel only has to consider the lookup column and the return column.
Using the below table, let's see how you can find the city where Jenson resides.
Fig: Index-Match function in Excel
Now, let's find the department of Zampa.
24. COUNTIF
The function COUNTIF() is used to count the total number of cells within a range that meet the given condition.
Below is a coronavirus sample dataset with information regarding the coronavirus cases and deaths in each country and region.
Let's find the number of times Afghanistan is present in the table.
Fig: Countif function in Excel
The COUNTIFS function counts the number of cells specified by a given set of conditions.
If you want to count the number of days in which the cases in India have been greater than 100. Here is how you can use the COUNTIFS function.
25. SUMIF
The SUMIF() function adds the cells specified by a given condition or criteria.
Below is the coronavirus dataset using which we will find the total number of cases in India till 3rd Jun 2020. (Our dataset has information from 31st Dec 2020 to 3rd Jun 2020).
Fig: Sumif function in Excel
The SUMIFS() function adds the cells specified by a given set of conditions or criteria.
Let's find the total cases in France on those days when the deaths have been less than 100.

Well, Summer is here. If you are an emotional eater just the thought of holidays with an overweight body is enough to compound your emotional eating. You feel so bad about your body and exposing it in summer clothes you eat even more to comfort yourself.
In order to achieve a happy body image and maintain it, it is essential to understand why, what and where you emotionally eat and have to hand some strategies to use when you are feeling the emotion and cravings kicking in.
This means that you use eating as a way of coping with emotions, whether they are positive or negative, which can all too often become a vicious cycle. For example, you are stressed and busy, so begin to comfort eat once given the chance, and because of this you experience guilt and regret, and suddenly you are comfort eating for an entirely different set of emotions! Combined with this, society also highlights the importance of food for happy and social occasions – there really is no let-up!
If you are bored read a good book for watch a DVD.
Step 3 – Decide. By now the emotion may have subsided or you may have completely forgotten about your urge.
Put yourself first. It's all well and good putting your husband/partner, children or job before you, however if you are not in a healthy place both mentally and physically then you may not be able to look after your family or do your job to the best of your ability.
Move more. Even a 15-minute walk in the fresh air is beneficial for both your physical and mental health.
Spend time with people who make you happy and support you. People who are positive and encouraging will make you less likely to eat for comfort.
Many of us have overeaten at some time when we are feeling sad or anxious. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this occasionally, but for some of us an occasional bout of emotional eating leads to us doing it full time so that it becomes a daily habit.
The most important thing is recognizing your triggers and having an array of techniques to hand to use when this trigger strikes.
If you would like more help with healthy eating and overcoming emotional eating then CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Hypnosis may be helpful to you.

On Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finalized a rule that will require all new vehicles under 10,000 pounds to be equipped with rear visibility cameras by mid-2018.
This rule covers all cars, SUVs, minivans, and small trucks and buses. Cameras must display a view that includes a 10-foot by 20-foot zone behind the vehicle.
U.S. federal safety regulators finally issued the rule after several years of delay. Congress called for this set of federal standards way back in 2007 due to a series of accidents wherein driving parents backed over their young children, killing them in the process. It then passed legislation that requires a rearview visibility standard to be adopted.
In 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the "Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act." The law required the NHTSA to implement the rules by 2011. However, the Obama administration postponed the writing of the rules five separate times due to cost concerns.
In December, some organizations sued the government to prompt the NHTSA to finalize the rule. Interestingly, the agency released the rule one day before the administration is set to defend itself against the organizations which filed the lawsuit.
The rule is expected to reduce the number of backover accidents as well as the fatalities that result from such accidents. According to the NHTSA, backover accidents kill about 210 people in the United States per year and cause 15,000 injuries, 31 percent of which involve children below the age of five. The agency believes that rearview cameras can save 58 to 69 lives each year once the rule is in full effect.
The mandate will phase in over a couple of years. Automakers are required to install the compliant rearview visibility technology to 10 percent of their new vehicles built from May 1, 2016, to May 1, 2017. They must comply with the requirement with 40 percent of their vehicles built from May 1, 2017 to May 1, 2018. By May 1, 2018, 100 percent of all new vehicles in the country must be equipped with rearview cameras.
NHTSA's rule does not apply to all auto manufacturers. "Small volume" carmakers are exempted, so companies which specialize in exotic rides may not need to add cameras to their new models.
NHTSA estimates the cost of the technology, consisting of a display screen and camera, to range from $132 to $142 for each vehicle for the 2018 model year. The installation of a camera on a vehicle that already has a display screen is expected to cost between $43 to $45. The agency estimates that the overall cost of equipping 73 percent of a new vehicle fleet with the technology by 2018 is $546 to $640 million.

Invasion Planet Earth (Movie Review)
December 16, 2019 Invasion Planet Earth (Movie Review)
Posted at 19:32h Day Heath cryptic rock, CrypticRock, Movie reviews, News, Reviews 0 Comments
Remember Boyhood? The 2014 film by Richard Linklater that had people going on about how it took 12 years to shoot? How about one that has (technically) been in production for nearly 20 years? Simon Cox (Hanging Out With 9 Dead Gay Guys 2004) started work on a film called Kaleidoscope Man in the 1990s, filming in and around Birmingham for about 6 years. Then he pitched it to multiple UK studios and investors before eventually turning to crowdfunding in 2012.
Two years and 7 campaigns later, he managed to shoot 1/3 of the film, cast former Punk Singer and Actress Toyah Willcox (Jubilee 1978, Teletubbies series) and got an article about the film on the Birmingham Mail website.
Then some investors got interested and they financed the rest of the film. It only took 10 years of development, about 6 and a half years in production, 2 and half years in post-production, 1 name change to Invasion Planet Earth, and here we are today. Directed, edited, produced, and co-written by Cox alongside Simon Bovey (The Un-Gone 2007), it made its cinematic debut in the UK on December 5th, 2019, arrives on DVD on the 16th, before reaching digital platforms on the 30th through Munro Films and Lightbulb Film Distribution.
Invasion Planet Earth still.
It tells the story of a doctor called Thomas Dunn (Simon Haycock: Last Respects 2017) and his wife Mandy (Lucy Drive: Outside Bet 2012). They are broken after the death of their young daughter but find hope once again when Mandy is pregnant again. However, their dreams of moving on are interrupted by horrifying visions of the end of the world. They soon prove to be a reality when a giant alien craft appears in the sky, and its inhabitants start invading towns and cities across the world. It is down to Thomas to help join humanity's effort to fight off the invasion, but what can he do?
It seems interesting in text, but how about when it is in motion? Was its long road to the screen worth travelling? It has a jolly intro where some kids are watching the formerly titular Kaleidoscope Man (Nick Lancaster) on TV take on some alien forces. The sepia tone and title cards suggest a 1970's-early 80's show a la Buck Rogers, though the effects are more modern Doctor Who. There are lasers, explosions, galaxies. If TV shows back then had looked like this, Battlestar Galactica might have beat out Star Wars.
In all seriousness, one can see why it took 2+ years to get all these effects ready. They can be quite impressive for a relatively small film. The spaceships, mothership, etc, are finely crafted, though they do stick out as CGI models. Other bugbears include non-destructive explosions, a falling animation akin to those from 1997's Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero videogame, and the horrifying 'visions' being an apocalyptic-themed YouTube Poop. Still, the conventional explosions, space shots, lasers, etc, are on point.
The acting is quite good too for the most part. Haycock balances out the character's trauma with their will to go on – a stiff-upper-lipped kind of sadness. Willcox and Drive also turn in solid performances, though they do not get much screen time. Other characters are less effective on screen. Floyd (Danny Steele: Chicken 2015) is meant to be the charming, Nick Frost-esque character, but his duff lines and reads do not help. Whereas Samantha (Sophie Anderson: Dirtymoney 2013) hits the mark better as the aspiring artist from the wrong side of the tracks.
Then there is the story itself. It does not help that the second act focuses on Dunn and his patients going through multiple scenarios. On paper they sound interesting, especially with its resolution and how they tie to the characters' own neuroses. In execution, it derails the film. For one, what the audience expects to be Dunn's neurosis shifts gears to another one. For two, some scenes do not hit their marks as well as others- the soundtrack really tries to make Dunn hijacking a spaceship seem majestic, but it does not work.
As for its pacing, the characters end up revealing that flaw themselves. Dunn reveals "we've been here less than 20 minutes," and Harriet (Julie Hoult: Grindsploitation 2016) says "20 minutes? It feels like days!"
So, despite the second act having the bulk of the action, visuals and character development, it is not as effective as its slow-burn introduction. The third act gets the film back on the rails, upping the dramatic tension by raising the stakes. There is even another twist that was foreshadowed nicely, though it is a little trite. Still, the pacing and acting issues do remain, alongside some dodgy American accents. The film just manages to tie everything back up into a tidy, even emotional, package by the end.
It feels bad to rag on a film like Invasion Planet Earth when one knows its production history, because it is a labor of love. Still, one cannot deny it is quite lopsided. The best that can be said about it is that it feels like a proper tribute to 1950s alien b-movies than anything like Sharknado. In that it is at least earnest in its storytelling, rather than covering for its flaws with yuks. Basically, it does classic Roger Corman (It Conquered the World 1956) better than modern Roger Corman (Cobragator 2018). Work checking out, Cryptic Rock gives Invasion Planet Earth 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Laying the Groundwork for Buffalo's Renaissance
Mark Cerrone, Inc.By Jessica Ferlaino
Mark Cerrone, Inc. is a diversified civil site contractor and construction company that serves Western New York with its range of site and construction services. Throughout the decades, the company has developed the capacity to take a project from demolition through to landscaping and everything in between.
At Mark Cerrone it's not simply about completing project deliverables; it's about being best in class in all that it does. Since 1999, the company has continued to grow its offerings, resources and capabilities and at the same time, has established itself and its reputation in the market as a company that can do it all and do it all well.
George Lodick, Director of Operations, discussed how the company's namesake, Mark Cerrone, established the company in Western New York. "Mark started doing whatever he could back in 1999 when he went on his own. He did small commercial, small residential, built some buildings, rented apartments, and did whatever he could do to develop his business. And as he grew, opportunities arose."
While clients call on the company for construction and demolition work, asbestos abatement and environmental remediation, site work, industrial maintenance, underground utilities, athletic fields, transportation infrastructure upgrade work and rail work is keeping the company busy as of late.
"The market has been strong," said Lodick. "There's a lot of energy and activity in New York, Buffalo in particular. Buffalo had been behind for so many years as a rust belt city; there is a renewed interest in development, including taking on old gems, architectural wonders that have been languishing."
One such project is Buffalo's new Amtrak station located in the city's downtown. Drawing on its experience from its work on the Niagara Falls Intermodal Terminal three years ago, the Exchange Street Station will serve as a modern connection to the Canalside district, designed to be at ground level to ensure safety and improve accessibility for passengers with no disruption to rail service.
"It's a job where we have to coordinate with Amtrak, CSX, and the New York Department of Transportation to make sure that everything lines up – and of course, the general contractor who is building the actual platform and station. There's obviously a lot of strict dimensioning and specifications for rail height: where the rail meets the platform it has to comply to ADA codes," Lodick said.
Reflecting on the job and the success Mark Cerrone has had, Lodick explained, "I don't think he [Mark Cerrone] ever would have imagined that twenty years later that we would be taking that rail knowledge to actually help rebuild downtown Buffalo. Working on industrial rail was still three or four years out for Mark back in '99. So that's the kind of thing where we've actually been fortunate by being diversified and we've managed to continue to adapt to the different changes in the market."
The Cars Sharing Main Street project is another great opportunity for Mark Cerrone to have a positive impact on the City of Buffalo. In the 1980s, car traffic was eliminated from Main Street in favor of aboveground light rail rapid transit in the city's downtown core. Over the last decade, moves have been made to reopen Main Street to vehicle traffic, allowing them to share the road with the rail system.
"In the first two phases that we worked on, we opened up the 500 block and the 600 block of Main Street. Now we're working in the 100 block," said Lodick of the project. Mark Cerrone is tasked with redoing the rail portion and opening it up to vehicle traffic, as well as some of the streetscapes to further revitalize the Canalside district, rehabilitating lower Main Street in the process.
Mark Cerrone is also working on the D.L.&W. Terminal Phase One that will see the railyard for the light rail rapid transit system in Buffalo updated, including the preparation of the first floor of the terminal building, which is a classic railroad station that hasn't been in use since the 1950s. "The actual terminal is not there but the car house where you would board the trains is still there and that's used as storage," explained Chris Ganje, Project Manager. The project will see the conversion of the space into storage and something more vibrant and useful that engages the public.
"The owner, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, is going to be converting that terminal building into a station on the light rail line. They are taking the second story and using it for public space, retail and restaurants, which will improve public access to the waterfront," Lodick noted.
"We're also updating all of the train control and electrical throughout the entire 100, 500 and 600 blocks," said Ganje, which is a major component of the project and will integrate the systems that manage transportation and pedestrian traffic to ensure coordinated safety.
Safety plays a significant role in these projects, especially when an event is taking place at KeyBank Center in downtown Buffalo, when upwards of 20,000 people maneuver through construction activities and construction sites on their way to the arena. Life and business doesn't stop for construction and Mark Cerrone can tell you that. The company has been able to bid on and win these projects because it repeatedly demonstrates that it can fulfill project deliverables on time and on budget, while managing site and public safety, as well as client expectations across the range of projects it undertakes.
As demonstrated by the highlighted projects, Mark Cerrone thrives in a multitude of environments, chiefly those that are high-profile, high-visibility and have absolutely no margin for error. The company has a lot to be proud of.
Discussing the precision required when it comes to specifications and coordination on these projects, Lodick explained, "For the rail work we're doing on the lower Main Street project for the City of Buffalo, the rail for the D.L.&W. terminal has to connect, so they actually marry each other and integrate," which requires careful coordination and communication across project activities.
Working together with its partners, Mark Cerrone is proud to be a part of Buffalo's Renaissance. Through its work, neighborhoods like Canalside are no longer blighted. Buffalo has changed significantly over the decades to become a place residents and visitors are attracted to, drawn to the amenities and events taking place along the revitalized Buffalo River waterfront.
"We have one of our best teams there," said Lodick. "It's exciting to be working in the area. We've been in the Canalside of Buffalo since the first phases of this project going back to 2009, so it's nice to see the continued evolution, piece by piece how it's coming together as this real core area in this Renaissance of Buffalo over the last decade – and we've been part of it. We've touched about every piece of it and we want to keep that going," he said, referring to the untouched blocks awaiting redevelopment.
Part of the core mission at Mark Cerrone is to leave its communities better than they were previously, and the company takes the approach, "If you are blessed, you need to be a blessing to somebody," a philosophy inspired by the company's namesake. It's about being more than best in class in construction; it's about being best in class from top to bottom. "We want to provide high quality construction services in our community and to really be a force for change," said Lodick.
Mark Cerrone's principled values remain an important part of the company's culture, purpose and success, as it continues to impact the community through both the projects it completes and the charitable causes it supports. The company has pride but remains humble. "The kind of construction that we do ultimately becomes invisible in some ways down the road," explained Lodick. "It's nice to see Canalside having a positive impact on the culture of Buffalo," and it's enough knowing that the company played a part.
"Over the last ten years," Lodick said, "we have touched every major development in that sector in some way or another. After the work is complete, most will not remember that Mark Cerrone built a road or a fountain or a rail yard; to us, what matters more is that we made a positive impact on the community and we were part of that dynamic that changed Buffalo. Seeing that one underutilized area as rallying point for community spirit is most gratifying."
Knowing that there is still work to be done, the goal is to continue to succeed from both a project and a community perspective to be profitable, reputable and most importantly best in class, which will afford Mark Cerrone the opportunity to continue to give back to the community.
"We want to continue to provide high quality, best in class construction services, treat our people as family, build a team of good people that take pride in their work, and we have a long-term vision which is ultimately to leave a mark," said Lodick – which Mark Cerrone, Inc. will surely continue to do for years to come.
