Influencers in PM: Risk
Risk is an organizational problem that reaches into our ability to make sound business decisions. We should think of stakeholders (and activating them to be positive and helpful), remember to check assumptions, and recognize that risks shift as priorities and the external environment do. Beyond the project-level risks, and past even basic quantification of risk and impact, we need PMs to consider the ultimate business value of their projects – and whether the project should even be done. Yep, even for a project, risk is an organizational concern that has a perspective shaped by the very organizational culture. Listen in to this episode and hear influencers Andy Jordon, Beth Spriggs and Bruce Harpham describe their insights and their approaches to handling risks and consulting with others about it.

I clearly remember when a friend sent me the link to Sir Ken Robinson's TED TALK in 2006. One of those amazing moments when you hear someone who really knows what they're talking about saying a lot of stuff you've been thinking about but didn't think you'd quite got it right.
So I thought this must have happened to many others. Especially as the TED initiative has grown and grown and spread and spread. So here's the link to that first TED talk by Sir Ken to inspire you to think about your favourate TED talk to share with us.

Mary Digges Lee (* 1745 in Prince George's County, Province of Maryland; † 25. Januar 1805) war eine US-amerikanische Frau, die während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs lebte. Sie war die Ehefrau von Thomas Sim Lee, Gouverneur von Maryland.

Privatleben
Mary Digges Lee, Tochter von Ignatius Digges, wurde 1745 auf dem Familienlandsitz, "Mellwood Park", in Prince George's County geboren. Im Oktober 1771 heiratete sie Thomas Sim Lee, der aus "Blenheim" stammte. Die Feierlichkeiten fanden auf dem Familienlandsitz der Digges statt. Das Paar bekam im Laufe ihrer Ehe acht gemeinsame Kinder. Später ließen sie sich in Needwood nieder, dem heutigen Frederick County.

Das Paar war während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs für die amerikanischen Truppen sehr aktiv. Ferner waren sie sehr religiös und gemeinschaftlich engagiert. In diesem Zusammenhang gründeten sie die St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Petersville, Maryland.

Mary Digges Lee spielte nicht nur eine beispielhafte Rolle bei der Unterstützung der amerikanischen Truppen, sie war auch eine hingebungsvolle Ehefrau, Mutter, Hausfrau und Hausherrin. Ihre Leistungen, angesichts der allgemeinen Abstimmung des Unterfangens bei so einer Unternehmung, weisen sie als einen richtigen Führer aus, ein Vorbild, das in der Tat den Titel der "First Lady of Maryland" verdiente. Sie verstarb am 25. Januar 1805, im Alter von 60 Jahren. Ihr Ehemann heiratete nach ihrem Tod nicht mehr und verstarb am 9. November 1819.

Amerikanischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg
Thomas Sim Lee wurde 1779 zum zweiten Gouverneur von Maryland gewählt und folgte so als Nachfolger Thomas Johnson ins Amt. Er bekleidete diese Stellung bis 1782. Nach dem Krieg wurde er 1792 noch einmal für eine zweite Amtszeit wiedergewählt. Er hatte das Amt bis 1794 inne.

Der Amerikanische Unabhängigkeitskrieg war eine schwierige Zeit für jedermann und insbesondere anspruchsvoll für die Lees. Der Nachschub war niedrig und die Moral war schlecht. Die Beamten der Maryland Line berichteten über die bedauernswerten Verhältnisse der Kontinentaltruppen. Mit Lieferengpässen als unmittelbare Bedrohung, appellierte General George Washington an seinen Freund, Gouverneur Lee um Beistand, aussagend dass "wenn nicht einige außerordentliche und sofortige Anstrengungen durch die Staaten, die uns mit Nachschub beliefern, unternommen werden, es jeden Anschein gibt, dass die Armee binnen vierzehn Tagen aufgelöst wird". Nach dieser Unterredung bat Lee seine Frau um Unterstützung. Diese trat dann schnell ins öffentliche Rampenlicht, ein Platz, der Frauen verboten war, weil er zu riskant war.

Entschlossen ihren Landsmännern zu Hilfe zu kommen, engagierte sie sich bei den amerikanischen Soldaten einiges an Schmerz und Leid zu mindern. 1780 gewann sie die Unterstützung von Marylands Frauen bei der Sammlung des dringend benötigten Nachschubs. Mary sammelte Geld und Materialien für die Truppen. Ferner ermutigte sie auch andere Frauen dazu ihr Talent und Zeit für die Sache zu spenden. Reagierend auf die Gesuche nach Hemden aus Leinen für die Soldaten, sammelte sie die Frauen zusammen und stellten sogleich 260 Hemden für die Lieferung bereit. Mary schrieb an General Washington, um ihn darüber zu informieren, wie man das gesammelte Geld und Materialien bestmöglich zu verwenden hätte, was sie gesammelt hatte. Sie verkündete stolz, dass sie "einen erheblichen Betrag zu Entlastung der amerikanischen Armee" aufgebracht hätte. General Washington schrieb Mary zurück und drückte seine Dankbarkeit für die "patriotischen Anstrengungen der Ladies von Maryland zugunsten der Armee" aus.

I am impressed by the last several posts on Tamil Cinema at Minai's Cinema Nritya Gharana. She has scanned some very informative and visually stunning articles on the history of Tamil cinema that she found in Galatta Cinema magazine (following up a scan she did of a great article on Padmini!), searched out good (and sometimes quite rare) YouTube clips to put with them, and added nice text of her own. The past few posts are very comprehensive and, much to my delight, they include quite a bit about the golden and vintage years.
There are a few blogs out there that I've enjoyed a lot this past week, but I think that Minai's deserves a special recommendation, especially if you love some old Tamil stars and Tamil films.
Wonderful article … Thanks for sharing this with us !!!
Minai does have a cool blog. Thanks for the pointer.
Sita-ji, that's a good point – it is like an encyclopedia blog right now!
Minai, thank you for calling that little recommendation on my obscure blog an honor. :) And thanks for the other nice words too, but I wouldn't call myself an expert in southern classics. I've watched Tamil films with Sivaji and Padmini and a few other favorite dancers and some favorite music… I haven't known all that much in terms of the history and the big picture, and the articles that you posted have filled in quite a few gaps for me.


I get asked quite a bit daily what apps and tools I use to keep my workflow moving smoothly.
RubyMine is my preferred development environment. It's great for managing multiple projects (that's what this program is great at, apps. Don't expect to hit Cmd + New and have it as a text editor) and I live in this IDE for Rails development.
I use TextMate 2 for everything else that is not project related, from simple note taking to coding up quick things (console commands, etc).
When working in the office with multiple developers, sometime you need to work on something together. Coda is great for pair programming and that's usually all I use it for.
Mac Terminal is great, but with all the features that iTerm 2 provides, I spend a lot of my day in this app.
Command line is great, and a GUI is not a replacement for command line for me. But most of the time, I want a quick way to do something without remembering the correct command for it.
I "try" to live by the Inbox Zero standard, and Sparrow helps me to get there. Mac Mail is just clunky in my opinion, and doesn't have that great of integration with gMail. Sparrow feels native and works great.
I don't use MongoDB a lot except for personal projects, but when I do.. MongoHub is the best GUI application I've found for Mongo.
Face it, we all have a LOT of contacts. Cobook integrates with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, my normal address book… and organizes everything into my Mac's Menu bar. Works great!
Merges can get extremely confusing.. I find help with DiffMerge.
When you quickly need to view the diff between two files, Kaleidoscope does a great and beautiful job at it.
Fluid is a neat little app that will turn any website into a native Mac App. Great if you have a frequently used application that you don't want to keep in a tab.
I used to use PHPMyAdmin for visual MySQL database management, but found Navicat Premium to be a great alternative to the old clunky PHPMyAdmin. Makes it easy to visualize queries and create complex ones faster.
I use OmniGraffle A LOT. I like to create tons of diagrams before I start to work programming something, I consider it my computer whiteboard.. and almost never use my physical whiteboard anymore.
I'm bad at keeping index card todo lists, Things has saved me from letting anything fall through the cracks.
I use OmniGraffle for my normal "whiteboard", but use Balsamiq to quickly mock up web pages from other diagrams to show people.
I spend most of my day (when not on calls, in meetings, etc) listening to music. During all of my development time I'm listening to some form of music.. Spotify is my #1 choice.

LETTER FROM THE EDIT OR You're probably thinking: OH GREAT, another underground magazine. Well, that's not the case. The inspiration for this magazine comes from being silenced at a young age, when adults said "It's grown folk business" or "Go in the other room while the adults talk." Millennials have been silenced, repeatedly. Our opinions and inputs are not taken into consideration. A voice for this generation is needed and UPRISE magazine provides the platform for our contributors and readers to speak their minds. Let's keep it REAL, RAW, FRESH and UNCUT. UPRISE is not just about making a statement, but also showcasing our creative spirit. Our generation is full of innovators in music, photography, painting, and design. UPRISE magazine focuses on fashion's influence on the artistic movement. This publication will highlight many talents, while still disputing many topics that can be seen as controversial or argumentative. From highlighting upcoming artists building their own brand, to the impact of sexuality on the runway. Stay tune for our online version, it features testimonies from our interviewees and different fashion films. Let's get back to saying what we want, when we want!

KANYE WEST Thank God this collection wasn't as questionable as last time. I know, I'm not the only one that was worried what Kanye West was going to showcase. Especially since his earlier collections were severely criticized and ridiculed on social media and by the New York Times and others. His 'designs' are derivative and egotistic, was the general social media comment. Like the Kardashians, West has millions many millions of followers. But, that means a lot of people find him compelling, no doubt. Although, it does not make the fashion valid or original or even a statement. Yes, Kanye we get it; you're an artist and think differently than everyone else. There was no grand stage used this time to present the Yeezy Spring 2016 Ready to Wear Collection. Of course, ears were buzzing once they found out the infamous "YESUS" will be showcasing another collection. West presented the second season collaboration with Adidas through a performance with Vanessa Beecroft.

ADIDAS COLLABORATION
Surprising fashion media with a last minute showing, West unveiled another lineup of monochromatic hues. Imitating the outspoken artist's own wardrobe. West confirmed the show the same day as his invitations went out. The same military metaphor was used the presentation, using drill sergeants to call our formations. Blondes started the runway show, all lined up to march
down the runway to pose for pictures. Yeezy's models were grouped in small units by skin tone, all matching in monochromatic clothing. The clothes varied between neutral colors: beige, taupe, brown, and black. It was compelling to watch as the shade of the model, clothing and hair all got darker until the last item of clothing came out.. Although there were few models, the clothing was still
there. Each look consisted of multiple pieces, such as: baggy sweatpants, dyed shorts, nude bodysuits, parkas, hoodies, leggings, and bras. All given the over- dyed and broken in fabrics. The style was very sporty, and a bit worn made of soft cotton and canvas. There was a clear influence by the Japanese workwear stated in the silhouette. Styled to feature the main look, which consists of just a sweatshirt. The Yeezy brand is consistent with unisex sweatshirts, leggings, outerwear, and boots as the backbone of the collection. West has an aesthetic and he's sticking to it. All the model return to the stage to West's new song about love being fate, while one of the models chain- smoked cigarettes. Each model aligned from front to back or you might say white to black. Duh, Kanye has an underlying meaning behind his collection. It would be unlike him, to not have one. Racial injustice has been headlining all media, in just the past year. It's clear that West is a designer in the fashion life, that is not going anywhere soon. He is an influential designer, no one counting page views or sneaker sales can complain. West's "Star Power" is strong within the community, and its evident.

New York - born Rosie Assoulin has had one of the most rapid career to take off in the fashion industry. The designer has a very likeable energy, unique fashion, celebrity endorsements and affiliation with the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). Assoulin knows exactly what her clientele looks for in garments. Many individuals falling in love with her use of cottons, vivid colors and modern volumes.
Assoulins focus was on the reconstruction of casual wear bikinis, underwear and pajamas.
This season Assoulin's 2016 Spring/ Summer 2016 collection was a tribute to summer classics. Assoulin's Spring 2016 Inspiration is the nineties and seventies mash up. Her spring lineup channeled the playfulness, complete with mermaid mesh, rainbow colored separates perfect for a presentation hosted in an emptied pool.
Water conservation is at all times high. Taking advantage of the movement, Rosie Assoulin presented her Spring/ Summer 2016 collection in a vacant swimming pool in the West Village. Just don't expect any swimsuits! For upcoming season Rosie Assoulin hidden under the collection was the inspiration of bathing suits. Each garment featured characteristics or elements of a bathing suit.
Assoulin this season traded in her dramatic oversized gowns to instead focus on casual wear. The underwear were boxers that had been sewn into the twill straight- legged pants. The swimsuit style offered Assoulin an opportunity to use the triangular tops as daywear. The candy- colored bikini kept the pool theme vibrant in the collection. Assoulin took the vibrant colors of pool toys and translated them into bright colors.
A triangle top paired with a button- down shirt, were clearly inspired by the bikini. It's evident Assoulin was impressed by the more delicate elements, such as the snaps, and Swarovski crystals. Snaps used on the one shoulder pink frock turned it into a shape shift; a must have for city dwellers. It's back to the versatility of fabrics and the creative use of sewing machines that speak through this collection.
Assoulin's included structured gowns, and formal tops paired with long skirts, and wide legged pants. Varied from overalls to dramatic gowns with hints of swimwear. Fun triangular shapes were used in the bodice of the garments. As well as, bikini bottom ties used as an embellishment in cocktail dresses, and trousers.
THE VIBRANT COLORS IN THE COLLECTION WERE ICING ON THE CAKE.
SELF PORTRAIT Photographs: Courtesy of Self-Portrait/ VOGUE
The Self Portrait girl is not scared to stand out. Thus, being said this collection speaks truth to those words. A designer, Han Chong, finally understands the new evolution of young women coming forth.
Even for fashion veterans at NYFW showing at NYFW can be nerve wrecking, but for Chong it can be a make it or break it.
�
New designer Han Chong showed his first collection, Self- Portrait, at New York Fashion Week RTW Spring 2016. It was not only his first collection, but his first time showing at NYFW. Although his models didn't strut down the runway, he found a creative way to showcase his collection. Chong introduced an intimate setting by staging his models in different places amongst the bleached white interior decoration. Chong
introduced his line in a presentation setting, essentially his own take on a fashion editorial. Each model strategically posing throughout the abandoned mansion. If you look closely up you will notice props such as: books, statues, chairs, tables and even a baby carriage. There were a total of 120 pieces used in the backdrop, all painted white to look as a 3-D puzzle.
Bare legs with chunky sandals.
Chong found inspiration from the city itself. His collection promoted the edgy, and directional fashion forward designs, that can be found in New York. Chong's collection read edgy, sporty chic, with a bit of Victorian mixed in. An abundance of ruffles, emphasized shoulders revived the Victorian era in the designs. Chong focused on simple, clean and modern. Detailing his collection with brocade, contrasting vibrant colors and in house fabrics. The rawness from the installation, showcased the variety of
color used in the collection. With clashing colors and textures,made for a very loud statement spring collection. Dresses are a signature look for Chong, designed with lace, sheer fabrics, and waist- pinching silhouettes. Its simplicity showed in the slip dresses paired with lace. The vibrant colors used for the slips, would echo through the lace giving his designs dimension. Chong kept his fashion line clean and modern. Self- Portrait was new to NYFW, and they left one hell of a lasting expression.
Chong made sure to keep his vision clear. each model wore a signature hair style of: a long asymmetrical bang with slick back hair.
Finally, a new designer who is provoking us to think outside the box! We barely see new designers showcasing during New York Fashion week. With it being their first showcase, a lot is on stake. It can either be a hit or a miss, really. All you can do is cross your fingers and hope that all your hard work, time, and money is worth it in the end. It is very rare to see new designers, especially because it can be challenging for them to get their foot in the door during
NYFW. As its appear at NYFW along with the industry veterans, they hope the reckinition will all be worth it in the end. Han Chong introduced his audience to his style and he will be back! Chong showed that newcomers do have a chance. That even in a sea of big name fashion designers, you come across a brand new talent that blows your mind.

INTERNSHIPS: A Waste of Time by:
Courtney Wilkins
The legit internships, are the ones you find through people you know. The shitty internships, are online...
Jonathan Wideman
Are there advantages for applying for internships? Are they a waste of time? Why do we need these on our resumes? It seems as though we have fallen victim to impressing companies, but sometimes we forget our own personal goals. Many students hover over their computers, applying to twenty-plus internships in hopes that a company will reply. "I spent [approximately] 80 percent of my time applying for jobs and the other 20 percent on graduate school applications. It was more likely I would get accepted into graduate school before getting a job�,says Kevin Williams, now a graduate student at Florida A&M University.
It has become routine: Wake up, apply for internships, and hope for responses. We, as students, look to companies to hire us as interns so we can gain skills to begin our careers. I had the opportunity to sit down with several students from different artistic backgrounds and discuss their internship experiences. Though internships can help us in the long run, what exactly are we learning? Students are finding themselves making errand runs and handling paperwork during internships. We, as entry level candidates, are seeking education and guidance. It seems artistic internships are no longer beneficial as they once were.
"[With] unpaid internships, you're basically a slave. They take advantage of you. They wanted me to work, even on my vacation",
"We see internships as valuable, but we want to get paid for it as well",says Williams. "This is my seventh internship, I did three unpaid and four paid. I did so many to enhance my resume",says Jonathan Wideman, an Advertising major at Academy of Art . Ordinarily, internships are requirements of a university program. Other internships are based on the individual's own desire. Artists are more likely to do this to build their portfolio and skill set. Out of these internships, only some are paid, and often in the form of stipends or living
expenses. There are internships that are totally volunteer, without compensation of stipends, or scholarships. Internships also vary on the number of hours committed, as well as the duration of the internship. According to HRMorning.com, paid interns get paid an average of $15,000 more on their first job than unpaid interns. Most controversy comes from full time internships, and the exploitation of interns. Wideman thinks the exploitation is more in extensive internships, generally unpaid or college credit.
I think unpaid internships are unfair, simple as that. Interns work just as hard, if not harder. not all organizations abuse their interns but they easily could if they wanted to. If someone is putting in the work, then they should be paid.
Amiah Mims
All internships are not equal. But, employers can be held accountable for how interns are treated onsite. Businesses can take advantage of the younger labor force with unpaid internships. The growth in unpaid internships means a reduction in entry- level positions. Millennials have paid their dues, they have the degree and debt to prove it. "With unpaid internships, employers are essentially saying to millennials, "Times are tough and you are desperate, so we can and will exploit you for profit" (The Great Intern Debate)".
In the past, people have worked for free to get their foot in the door. But, where is the line drawn when a student is having to pick up coffee or walk their boss' dog as an internship? Wideman speaks about his graphic design internship in New York City. On his vacation, he found himself working on logos and brands at a very fast turnover rate.
Im just a glorified volunteer! The company had me teaching the other volunteers. My boss relied on me to take care of everything, and to get things done.
"I was working every night, and it sucked 'cause I was in Disneyland with my family. It would be nine o'clock at night and they would call me. They didn't care about my vacation plans - they needed it done," says Wideman. Even after completing all the logos and brands, he wasn't paid for his service. A service like this would cost a company roughly $15, 000 dollars. Williams speaks of his internship with a non-profit Zoo, that was only staffed with three employees. Williams was in charge of the entire aquatic area, his boss relied on him to work the lab and train the volunteers. The line between volunteers and interns is slowly fading away. Isn't it ironic that companies, especially in fashion, are more prone to hire interns when there is an upcoming event? It makes you wonder: Are we here to just help or actually have an
experience? The only difference between interns and volunteers, is that the volunteers don't have to work at a specific time. "My work time fluctuated. In the beginning I worked 9am until 4pm. The closer we got to the event, I found myself working from 9am until 11:00pm at night", Amiah Mims, Graphic Design major from Kent State University. Interns normally work a set schedule. Universities require a certain amount of hours to be completed to receive school credit. Hours can range anywhere from 50 to 300 hours. From a student perspective, we view internships to as a temporary/ seasonal opportunity. We, as interns, expect to be treated like a real employee. Students are drawn to cities where the best opportunities in their field are located, such
as: Washington D.C for business and New York for fashion. Students, who can't afford to go out of state without compensation, miss out on career opportunities and wind up working a minimum wage job. "To move there, live there, and not get paid: that's really hard", says Williams. Williams spoke of potential internship opportunities located in Washington, D.C that would be perfect for his major, Environmental Science. But, Washington D.C is one of the most expensive places you can live. Unpaid internships come at a price. Some universities require students to intern for college credit, which requires payment in tuition. In case of the fashion industry, one must have experience before applying, and the only way to get the experience is to work for nothing. What's the purpose of internships?
Especially, if at the end of the day we still find ourselves applying to retail establishments and fast food chains just to get a paycheck. Obtaining paid opportunities that are related to our studies puts us in a better position once graduation comes. "It's a game. We rely on internships for that experience, so when we apply for the job they can see that experience. Why spend all this money and go to college? Interns need the title and experience, so when applying for jobs they can see the experience on their resume, and have a letter of recommendation", Kevin Williams. Internships are supposed to be enlightening and educational. Students look to internships to help better themselves and their future. You have to set up the nature of what you want out of an internship out the gate to get what you truly want.
Interns need to start setting their definition for internships. You should get paid for your thoughts, your services, your technique, and your experience to the company.
WHITE PEOPLE:
first and last episode
Miche Smith
The documentary, White People, aims to start a dialogue about race and perception of racism by placing white Americans in communities where they are the minority. It asks them and its viewing audience to consider what it really means to be Caucasian in a country where the average person's friends are more than 91% white. While many supported the program, others expressed a discomfort - or vehement denial - of the claims and depictions of white people and racism shown as #WhitePeople trended on the social network.
Travelling to predominately white areas, including rustic areas in Washington, South Dakota, North Carolina and Arizona, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas spoke to young white people about race. Vargas has said that the only thing he fears is "not having these conversations" as opposed to public response. The journalist identifies himself as an undocumented immigrant from the Philippines, inviting frank discussion about the issue by saying to a young group "let's get uncomfortable" before starting debates.
MTV's controversial documentary on white privilege was only broadcasted earlier this summer but it has already accomplished the director's aim of making people "uncomfortable"
Throughout the documentary, Vargas speaks with an audience full of young people about race, with white people bravely saying what we already know — "I can walk to a convenience store and back without getting hassled by the police" or "I've never experienced systemic oppression." It's clear the white people in attendance are trying their best to be honest and open, and even to learn more about their own privilege, but Vargas doesn't spend enough time with them to make these conversations seem any deeper than just casual acknowledgements. Feeling uncomfortable is an inadequate and frustrating reason to ignore racial injustice and in such deep contrast to the lived understandings for so many people of color, particularly Black and brown folks, who face a unpredictable amount of violence at the hands of the state. Criticism
of the film has ranged from noting that it didn't get uncomfortable enough, to saying it was too simplistic and heavily edited to really delve into whiteness and racism in America, to acknowledging that even if this documentary felt like "White People 101" it is necessary because large populations of white Americans really just don't think about what it means to be white. Racial justice in America can't stop with the plain acknowledgement of whiteness, or even of white privilege. If we're going to talk about this, let's not walk on eggshells. The conversation needs to move the idea of "white supremacists" away from outlying groups with white hoods and to look at how white supremacist policies and legislation pervade our daily lives.

In our culture of 24/7 news cycles and social media connectedness, we have a better opportunity than ever before to bring attention to important issues. In the last few years, the world has collectively paid attention to the issue of bullying like never before; millions of school children have been given a voice, all 50 states in the U.S. have passed anti-bullying legislation, and thousands of adults have been trained in important strategies to keep kids both physically and emotionally safe in their classrooms and schools. These are significant achievements.
SO HOW DO WE
At the same time, however, gratuitous references to bullying have already begun to create a bit of a "little boy who cried wolf � occurrences. When kids and parents improperly classify impoliteness and cruel behavior as bullying, we all run the risk of becoming so sick and tired of hearing the word that this critical safety issue among young people loses its perseverance as quickly as it rose to importance.
Adolescents are often under fire for bullying because of their appearance, sexual orientation or loner status. But not all bullying victims fit that profile. Research suggests that as students become more popular and climb the social standings of middle and high school, they are at increased risk for gossip, pestering and even physical attacks from enemies competing for prestige.
A clear definition of bullying and a policy that prohibits it and lays out the consequences is one means to arm a school or school district against this problem. For one thing, when bullying is clearly well-defined, then it can be more easily acknowledged and separated from constructive criticism, discipline, and motivation, all of which are neighboring areas. It is significant that the policy be clear and research-based in order to not be so comprehensive that students and teachers are fearful of being alleged as bullies at every turn when what they say is not praise. And it is different, though still hypothetically painful, if a child is picked last for games because he or she
has an objectively poor skill set as opposed to being picked last due to an unambiguous campaign to exclude him or her. Policies to prevent bullying may openly mention major types of bullying, including verbal, social, physical, pack and cyberbullying, and racist, religious, homoph obic bullying, along with bullying of people with disabilities. But it is important that policies should be phrased so as not to exclude the bullying of typical victims, nor victims who are teachers, staff, administrators, or school board members, rather than students.

S H A N K I know who I am but at the same time you have many artists that have identities. It's a gift and a curse because I don't want to be categorized.

Who knew a simple campaign "SUPPORT DA ROOKIE" would take Khyran Shank this far. Shank is breaking into the music industry on his terms. Only two years in the business , and Shank has released mixtape after mixtape, while building his brand, SDR. Shank built a team that supports him in everything he does. His right hand, Phoenix, handles all recording. Collaborating with other artists, such as graphic designers, designers, and photographers, has helped him to prosper in this industry. Sometimes, utilizing other's talents in your creative work allows for a bigger dream to be obtained. Shank wrote his first song, Welcome to the Intro, in 2013. By 2014 he had his very first single, Small Talk sold on Itunes. The popularity of the song begged for a music video. Within months, Shank gave his fans and audience just that. A series of his songs, called Random, can be found on his SoundCloud profile. Random is a segment of mixed beats all combined in one track, more so to give his listeners a new twist to Hip Hop. His vibrant and blunt personality makes him stand out and catches the attention of many radio hosts, eager to interview him.
Luckily, I was able to snag a quick interview instead of standing in line like the rest. Shank reminisces times as a child growing up in Indiana, listening to music with his parents. Countless of hours of listening to "the greats" with his dad, Lewis Shank. It's those tiny moments in life that can influence and shape our character, personality, and interests. His father was the first to introduce him to influential artists, such as Notorious B.I.G., Big Daddy Kane. Ghetto Boyz, Tupac, and Kool and the Gang. Shank, has studied the greats... not literally like a test. But, more so as what their message is, and how they impact society. The way Shank stumbled upon the music industry is unlike any other. It was a typical night, hanging with the friends talking and joking around in his friend's parents' basement. One of his friends was playing around with some music, and they all were throwing out quick little verses. When Shank decided to jump in, it really was an "Oh Shit" moment, no one was expecting that from him. His friends encouraged him to get in the studio and to speak his poetry and story.
His top five artists are Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G, Wu Tang Clan, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. Shank never thought this was the route he was going to take, especially with his first love being track and field. Although Shank is an upcoming artist, he is still your typical 23 year old student athlete trying to graduate on time. The life of a student athlete is a hard one, and trying to balance it as an artist can be challenging.
Waking up with a 6am practice followed by classes afterwards is already a long day. But, to add interviews, videos, and studio time on top of a busy schedule that causes long nights and early mornings. Shank shows how much support can really help you on your path.
My goal is to stay true to the art form no matter what. To stay independent and allow my art and w ords to be heard w orldw ide.
What led you to the music industry? The creative process of it all, it can get frustrating and fun at the same time. But when it comes together it's always a good feeling.
How would you describe your style? I would describe my style as erratic- a Midwest feel something you wouldn't normally hear from an artist.
How often do you write? As often as I can between school and track. Any free time I get i'll take it! I'm writing or listening to music to find more inspiration.
Is there more to music, than simply writing? Absolutely, if you care about it deeply enough there's always something more to it. Other aspects like performing, recording, thinking of new ideas all more to music than just writing.
What do you think of people that are just in it for the money? People have their own reasons to be in this industry i don't judge people's reason. I look at it like this, why do people get jobs? They do it for the money to feed their families their personal reasons in some ways music is a 9-5 but in its own special way.

What keeps you going/ motivated? My family and my future wife. What my parents did for me, I want to do it better for mine.
What makes you different, among other artists? I'm just being myself to be honest, which is why I said it's a gift and a curse. I can't necessarily say what type of identity I have, which leaves fans wondering.
What's your point of view of the use of drugs in business? There's a lot of drug use in every industry. I mean... I drink, so I don't really have a point of view. As artists we aspire to inspire. However, people often forget we are still human, but we take on the responsibility to be role models. But when you have that type of power comes microscopic scrutiny.
Have you faced people trying to use you in this industry? Yes, and it's a little difficult to see sometimes. Sometimes, it's like damn do you have a motive.
Is the music industry everything you thought it was gonna be? I'm still new to this industry, so I don't know yet to be honest. Right now my main focus is getting the music out to the people.
A U S T I N Everything you touch is art. Everything you know, has been created. How are there no jobs in a field that creates everything? If you think that art is not a real area to study, then open your mind; and try living without all of art's benefits that you reap.
Colored Girl, 2013
Individuals who trace or outline work that is already done, do you take their work seriously? Honestly...No, because it's not their work. It is not fair to the original artist. Doing this doesn't speak to who they are as an artist. If they were to take outlines or tracings, and use them to create something new; now that is a different story and deserves a bit more respect.
What is your creative process? It all begins with an idea. I love the human figure, so majority of my ideas come from movement, emotion, experiences, etc. of the human body. Once I have my idea and I sketch it out a few times, i do research; aka GOOGLE. lol. I love google. I try to find images that have some type of relationship to what I am trying represent in my piece. Once I have done my research I tend to refine my idea, and the rest is history.
Where do you find your inspiration for your work? What motivates you? My inspiration is in the world around me. I get inspired by people that look interesting; as weird as that might sound. I get inspired by beauty itself and the creation of it. Now what motivates me is a bit different. I am motivated by all the people around me who have also decided that what they know is not enough. What they have seen is not it; and where they have been, does not have to be all they know. Also, I am motivated by God. He has blessed me with gifts, and I pray every day for the motivation and ability to reach my full potential.
What makes an artist? I think an artist is somebody that creates. If you have an idea, and you can turn that idea into something. Anything. Then you are an artist. However, the creation has to come out of you. Singers, photographers, designers, painters, writers, dances; these are all artist that create something by their talent leaving their body somehow.
For an artist, s it more beneficial to attend an Art school or regular university? Artist tend to think a bit more organically, less black and white, than non artist. A lot of regular universities do not take their art programs seriously. However, when you attend an art university,
everyone understands your way of thinking. Which is very refreshing. I attend VCUarts (Virgina Commonwealth University School of the Arts), and a majority of VCU students do not even know the extent of the program. So when in class, I am accepted, and outside of class i am weird. lol
What's the weirdest thing that has inspired you? Well, I got inspired by the literal physical HIV virus. I do not have HIV, but the way the way the virus looks is very.interesting. lol I am currently working on a way to paint the way the virus looks without it being super clear that that is what it is. You would have to know what it microscopically looks like, for you to identify it. lol
If I were Basquiat, 2013
What's do you like about being an artist? I like having something to show. It is very satisfying, having worked so hard, then having an object that literally shows how hard you worked. Also, I like being able to pull emotion out of people.
Do artists perceive the world differently than "non-artists"? Yes definitely!!!!!!! To a non-artist, a empty cardboard box is trash.To an artist, its more than trash. It's collage elements in their new painting, a huge pencil sharpener made out of cardboard and glue. It could be flattened and used to protect the floor from Jackson Pollack. Or we can just throw all of our SHIT in it. LOL. Lets just say, an empty box wouldn't be empty in my house, I can always use box.
Are artists "born with" the talent, or is it learned? I personally think that you are born with talent, but you can learn skills. Anyone can learn how to draw. But it is what you do with drawing and the connection between eye and hand that can be a talent.
Do you find working in the art world hard? Yes and no. Yes because there is competition. That fear that somebody is better, never goes away for me. But working in the art world can be difficult if you are into sales, rather than providing a service. The world is full of people who want something specially made.

"The seven rules to live your life, what you put out you get. What you put out into the universe, you have to put yourself in that mindset of positivity. You reap what you sew. and don't care about what people think so much."
What should we understand about photographers? Photographers aren't capturing reality, we are capturing our own version of that. We are capturing a moment.. We all capture this moment in a different way that is relevant in to your life. It's about sharing your intake of the world.
As an artist, it is more important to enjoy your art or achieve success in your field? When you enjoy your art, that's when you achieve success in your field. The people that get the success are the people that aren't trying to get it.
What's your take on sexual/ nude photographs, a form of photography? Definitely, it's own form. There's a wide ray of nude photography, it depends on that particular photographer's eye. Being naked is super vulnerable, for anybody. There's more to it behind the photograph, than just the nudity. Like example, Instagram!!!!! The nude or sexual pictures that we find on instagram, that's tacky! To manipulate light and the shadows, there's a mood.We see it as "oh she's naked and trying to sell something".
Selfies, is there a sense of art behind this? The idea of a self portrait, and the integration with all the technology we have; tha is an expression of yourself. Don't get me wrong, we all take selfies. But, selfies aren't the normal everyday image.
Favorite kind of photography and why. Fine art, and because it has no strict rules. With fine art you aren't dealing with what other people like, you do it for self expression or self exploration.
In your free time, what do you like to do? TURNNNNNN UPPPPP!!! I'm just kidding. I like to make collages, go to thrift stores, and watch movies. Mostly, I love to listen to instrumental music, I like to listen to music without words. Music with words, especially popular music it's kind of mental pollution. you're subconsciously taking all that stuff in and it's affecting the way you think.
Do you practice any other arts? I don't think photography is the last of me, i want to get into short film and music, and sculpture.

CUTITRONICS STORY
Cutitronics technology wraps together diagnostics and dispense control technologies with the Internet of Things.
Talk about having skin in the game. The lightbulb moment came to David Heath at a skincare conference.
"What I learned on that day was that, at the time, the personal skin care industry was focused solely on making advances based on formulation and chemistry," says the biomedical engineer. "It was just looking at improving the ingredients to improve its products. I also learned that nobody knew how consumers used these complex manufactured products when they took them home, and consumers didn't always know how to use them correctly. And I thought, 'this is madness'."
Heath saw there was an opportunity to take a leaf out of the medical playbook where, for example, diabetes patients are treated using a combination of drugs, smart devices and data.
Having spotted the gap, Heath spun Cutitronics out of the University of Strathclyde in 2014. "It wasn't an academic or clinical project, this was a commercial project to create a holistic solution."
Cutitronics technology wraps together diagnostics and dispense control technologies with the Internet of Things, together with an app that gathers all the data and helps people adhere to their skincare regime.
The result: a technology that will be white-labelled for the personal care, health and wellness industries, allowing brands to connect directly with their customers by offering personalised advice based on the individual's unique skincare requirements in real time. Cutitronics is focused on facial skincare products including serums, oils and moisturisers, whose biologically active ingredients build up over time, where up to 12-16 weeks is required to achieve optimal results and where a user's adherence to the regime is vital.
Over the six years, a number of institutions have supported Cutitronics' journey, including the University of Strathclyde, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Academy of Engineering and London Stock Exchange ELITE.
An early award from the Royal Academy of Engineering was followed by a key introduction to the FTSE-100 chemicals manufacturer Croda, who became a strategic investment partner in the young business. "They are selling to the same customers we are seeking to partner with, so they have a deep understanding of the market. There was great synergy but no competition. They have been an excellent company to work with and provided phenomenal support – it's the extra value beyond the cash that made the difference!" He adds that he is "always on the lookout for complementary strategic partnerships, perhaps in the digital retail or skincare industry. There is just so much value in the right collaboration."
The Royal Academy of Engineering also introduced Heath to ELITE. "The education, speakers and introductions through the ELITE network have all been of high quality and very beneficial to the business," says Heath.
This was to be the year of the first major customer trials but the impact of Covid was to delay them.
Project plans suffered, too. "It was so frustrating," he says. "We had a piece of kit on a supplier's bench, a day away from being shipped to us, and we could not pick it up. And it was integral to our plans. If lockdown had happened a day later, we could have taken delivery of it."
But there were also positives. With spas and salons closed, professional skin care brands had lost their physical point of contact with customers. They needed to reach out to them beyond these spaces. And, while they were unable to run their daily business, the industry did have more time to talk with Cutitronics. "It has scaled our opportunity," says Heath, "as we are now creating a direct to consumer channel for those brands. Before Covid, we had thought it would take three years to get there but now… it's now!"
"This year we have had so much input and consultation about the customer journey. The trials that we are running this side of Covid are very different to the ones before."
In 2021, Cutitronics will be putting flags firmly into other markets, opening up access to its technology with major corporations and independent brands in the UK, the EU and the US. The first step has been to open an office in that capital of cosmetics, Paris.
The workforce currently stands at 25, boasting experience from corporations and industries as diverse as the space industry, Apple, MasterCard, Dyson, Plexus, Jabil, GCHQ and Estée Lauder. "We have been very fortunate with the skill set that we assembled but it is still difficult to fill some posts." However, he adds, "Covid is releasing more people into the marketplace." He would like the company to remain physical and local in East Kilbride; "we are very multi-disciplinary so we have had an open plan, collaborative office – and I would like to keep that."

Washington NFL team retires racial slur from its name and logo
It's a demand that Indigenous activists have been demanding for years. But it may be too early to call it a victory. "...Until we actually see what that replacement is, I think it's probably too early to celebrate," said Tristan Ahtone, president of the Native American Journalists Association. "The team still could come back with native-themed imagery."

Since the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota, the world has been reckoning with pernicious racist symbols across all aspects of life. Statues have been toppled. Executives have been stripped of their titles.
This week, the calls for racial equity have come to sports.
In a tweet Monday, the city of Washington's NFL team released a statement on Twitter announcing it will be retiring their name and logo. It's a demand that Indigenous activists have been raising for years, as the team's name contains a racial slur.

Tristan Ahtone, president of the Native American Journalists Association and member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, says there are a number of reasons why it is important to retire the name from all conversations.
"One of the most obvious ones is that it's just unethical to be using a racial slur. ... And no matter what Indigenous organizations, tribal nations, et cetera say about this topic, non-Indigenous people don't seem to want to listen."

"One of the most obvious ones is that it's just unethical to be using a racial slur," Ahtone said Monday. "As an Indigenous person, it's hurtful. And no matter what Indigenous organizations, tribal nations, etc. say about this topic, non-Indigenous people don't seem to want to listen."

Ahtone says the Washington team's announcement and decision to retire its name is important, though he is skeptical about the team's motivations.
"The area that frustrates me is that … we're seeing this change happen because there's been financial pressure," he said. "It's not — definitely not out of the goodness of their heart."
Financial pressure fell on Washington's NFL team as sponsors including FedEx, PepsiCo, Nike and Bank of America said they would cut ties with the team if it didn't replace its name.

And money talks in Canada. Two sponsors of the Edmonton Eskimos football team say they want their team's name changed, too. In response, the team's leadership promised last week to expedite a review of the name, with an update expected by the end of July.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly encouraged the dialogue.
"This is a discussion and a reflection that the city of Edmonton certainly needs to undertake," Prime Minister Trudeau said at a 2017 press conference. "Reconciliation is not just about Indigenous people and the government. It's about all of us Canadians, non-Indigenous as well."

The discussion is also taking place in the UK around The Exeter Chiefs rugby club, whose logo is an image of a Native American chief in a headdress. In the past two weeks, nearly 3,000 people have signed a petition organized by the campaign "Exeter Chiefs for Change." A spokesperson for the campaign said they're asking for an overhaul of the team's imagery.
"...They have a mascot of a Native American man carrying a Tomahawk and wearing a headdress," the spokesperson said on behalf of the campaign. She explained how this logo and theme appears everywhere in bars and sports grounds: "You've got, like, the teepee hut and things like that. So it's very much ingrained in their branding."
Exeter Chiefs for Change's spokesperson echoed Ahtone's sentiment regarding the importance of not using Washington's original name in reporting the story.
"When we talk about the Washington NFL team, everybody knows who the Washington NFL team is without having to use the R-word. ... There have been incidences where people have taken old episodes off of television for use of blackface. Or they have muted out people using the N-word in episodes. And that's the stage that we need to get to with the R-word."

The Exeter spokesperson says she's not expecting their team to change anytime soon, but she thinks Washington's announcement Monday could provide momentum and set a precedent for an international movement.
"...The fact that they have now changed… I think people now may go, 'Oh, well, if Washington has finally decided to do it, maybe it's time for the rest of us to do it'," she said.

Washington's NFL team has not yet announced their new name because, for now, the name is reportedly tied up in a trademark conflict. Ahtone says he's waiting for that information before considering Monday's announcement as a victory.
"...Until we actually see what that replacement is, I think it's probably too early to celebrate," Ahtone said. "The team still could come back with native-themed imagery."
In the meantime, the team continues to use its original name. Monday's announcement was released on unchanged letterhead from the team's official Twitter account, whose handle includes the racial slur.

Hoping someone may have experienced this and can lend some advice.
And this is occurring after adding oil...THEN...starting the engine or driving the car and rechecking? Just asking in case you missed that step...so it could be crossed off the list of possibilities.
Yes, and re-measuring with i-drive each time.
Probably a defective level sensor, take it to the dealer or shop and you may have to tow it. If you overfilled by one quart it may cause some other issues.
Let me know if you find a solution, I have the same issue.


LEEDS UNITED are chasing the Championship play-off places this season. Express Sport looks at what could happen at Leeds in the January transfer window.
Leeds United are in the unfamiliar position of stability heading into a January transfer window - the first time that has happened in years.
Manager Garry Monk has reversed the club's fortunes on the pitch, with the boss seemingly immune to owner Massimo Cellino's continuous battles off it.
Monk has been in the job almost seven months now. His 27 games in charge makes him the third-longest serving manager under Cellino since the Italian arrived in April 2014.
- Who might Leeds sign?
Fletcher, 21, could do with a run of games and he may be available next month. Monk wants a striker and Fletcher, with his height, speed and calm first touch, fits the bill.
Monk is unlikely to drop Chris Wood any time soon so Fletcher would likely be used as the New Zealander's strike partner. Fletcher impressed on loan at Barnsley last season, helping the Tykes win promotion.
After just three starts for West Ham, the club could send him out on loan. Leeds would ideally like to make the deal permanent but a loan move could be a good compromise until the end of the season.
There are also loose reports that Monk could go in for former Leeds midfielders Max Gradel and Fabian Delph. Both are struggling for game time in the Premier League but neither option seems particularly viable at the present.
Peter Crouch, who was linked to the club last winter, supposedly remains an option for Monk, while David Nugent's name has been mentioned.
But in reality it looks like the boss won't make too many signings unless injury forces his hand.
- Who could leave Leeds?
Luke Murphy is set to leave the club after making just one appearance under Monk, in the EFL Cup back in August. Expect a lesser Championship side to snap him up, maybe on loan until the end of the season.
Monk is also likely to offload Toumani Diagouraga, who has not played since the 3-0 defeat at QPR on the opening day of the season.
Defender Gaetano Berardi has played just a handful of games and could be shifted, having lost his place to Luke Ayling.


LordXernom and Raionhardt, please do not quote posts directly above your post in the future, thanks. Also, Raionhardt, the double post bug is well known in this topic. We're still looking for a fix but it's not looking good so far.

For a rally of the Dakar kind, casualties and mishaps are a way of life. In the Rally Dakar 2017 we have already seen India's very own Aravind KP of Sherco TVS calling it quits after he had a big fall 40 km into Stage 3 and injuring his shoulder. Toyota's Nasser Al-Attiyah had to bow out after his car suffered a serious mechanical glitch. Now in stage 4, defending motorbike champion Toby Price, KTM's 2016 winner, exited the race after he broke his femur in a fall. Team Peugeot star Carlos Sainz battled back from the brink of abandonment and is now out of contention.
Thursday's 416 kilometre special stage from San Salvador de Juluy in Argentina to Tupiza in Bolivia, the longest timed section so far, again took the drivers and riders above 3500 metres. With dangerous sand dunes and tricky navigation to deal with as well, many got lost along the way. The fifth stage from Tupiza to Oruro will take the participants on a run of 692 km, out of which the timed section of 447 km will test the riders with a wide variety of terrain and more than a handful of navigational challenges.
After being set to land another stage win having recovered from losing time earlier in the day, Price's race ended after 371 kilometres of Stage 4. The Australian fell heavily and had to be airlifted to hospital where it was confirmed he suffered a break to his left femur. His retirement ensures there will be a new winner to the motorbike race this year. Another KTM Factory Team rider, Austrian Matthias Walkner, took the win two minutes ahead of Joan Barreda, but the Spaniard still leads the overall standings.
Frenchman Cyril Despres recorded his first victory at the Dakar behind the wheel of a car and took a big chunk of time out of his rivals in the process. The big story of the day on four wheels came late in the day though when 2010 winner Sainz rolled his car and ended up in a ravine, leaving him waiting for assistance and bringing a premature end to his victory hopes. He did manage to get back underway, but lost more than two hours to his countryman Despres. After a 1-2-3 on Wednesday in Stage3, Sainz wasn't the only Team Peugeot driver to hit big trouble with Stéhane Peterhansel losing 15 minutes having taken a track in the wrong direction and Sébastien Loeb coming in 22 minutes down the road after engine trouble.
Ignacio Casale dropped down to second in the overall rankings as home favourite Walter Nosiglia stormed to victory in front of some passionate supporters in Tupiza. The Bolivian reached the finish line after six hours and six minutes, beating new race leader Sergey Karyakin into second place.
Just 30 seconds separated the leaders after nearly five hours of intense battle in the truck race. Gerard de Rooy prevailed, picking up his first stage win of the year in the process. Airat Mardeev was second on what proved a strong day for the Kamaz team with Anton Shibalov third and Dmitry Sotnikov fourth.
It was a sad day for Toby Price. The Australian was leading on the last part of the special, but lost control of his KTM at more than 90 kmph and fractured his left thigh bone in a fall, meaning the Dakar is over for the 2016 winner. He may well be leaving his trophy for Joan Barreda, who is solidly installed at the top of the general standings. The Honda rider almost won another stage even after having had to open the way. In the car category, Cyril Despres had a dream of a day, picking up his first stage victory behind the wheel of a car and climbing to the top of the general standings. The Frenchman took advantage of the problems encountered by his team-mates Stéphane Peterhansel, Sébastien Loeb and Carlos Sainz, with the Spaniard in danger of exiting the rally. In the quad race, Walter Nosiglia finally won his first victory on the Dakar in his home country and not without panache. Matthias Walkner never gave up against Joan Barreda, who has been head and shoulders above the rest for two days. The Austrian managed to catch his Spanish rival over the last kilometres to grab his second stage victory on the Dakar after the one he won in 2015. After two withdrawals, perhaps the time is ripe for him to achieve a fine result in Buenos Aires.A crushing blow
The day after Nasser Al-Attiyah exited the race when he was on the point of capturing the lead in the general standings, Carlos Sainz encountered similar misfortune. There were only eight kilometres left for the Spaniard to cover in order to make up precious ground on his rivals, when he crashed off the tracks and rolled the car into a ravine. This mishap crushed the ambitions of the 2010 winner for this year's edition and may potentially lead to him withdrawing from the race for the fifth consecutive time.
BMW MINI: Stage 4 of the 2017 Dakar proved eventful, but it was successful for many of the MINI competitors, with six pairings continuing to improve on their overall position in the standings despite the challenges of this tough stage. A difficult start to the 521km stage for X-raid Team's Mikko Hirvonen (FIN) and Michel Périn (FRA) in the #303 MINI John Cooper Works Rally car was not indicative of the stage as a whole. Having dropped to 10th place at the first checkpoint, the Finnish driver quickly regained pace with strong navigation support from his French co-driver. The reward was 2nd place at the finish line in Tupiza to move them up to 3d overall.
HERO MOTOCORP: After mixed fortunes for the team in Stage 3, there was no let up for the riders in the 416-km fourth competitive stage of the 2017 Dakar Rally that ran from San Salvador Jujuy to Tupiza in Bolivia. The first part of the special, with a mix of very soft sand and a deep layer of fine dust, made riding a challenge of skill and mental fortitude. But despite the hard riding conditions, made even tougher by the altitude, both Hero Motosports Team Rally riders, Joaquim Rodrigues and C.S. Santosh showed ample amount of grit and skills to improve upon their overnight positions.
Rodrigues also displayed exemplary sportsmanship when he stopped twice to call in the medical evacuation helicopter to the rescue of two crashed riders on the stage. Though, it affected his rhythm, still the Portuguese rider completed the stage with a time of 5 hour 37 minute 48 seconds that put him in 32th place for the day and 18th in the provisional overall general classification.
After a forgettable third stage, Santosh had his task cut out. The one hour time penalty for missing a waypoint had put him way back down the starting order. It meant that he had to fight his way ahead through the blinding dust kicked up by the riders ahead of him. The extremely soft sandy sections in the first part of the special didn't make things any easier for him. Learning from his yesterday's experience he held his ride together with patience and persistence. Santosh completed the timed special in 6 hour 41 minute 43 seconds that put him in 71st place, which is a recovery of 33 places over his starting position of 104.

Q: $f''(x) = g(x)$ and $g''(x) = f(x).$ Suppose also that $f(x)g(x)$ is linear in $x$ on $(a,b).$ Show that $f(x) = g(x) = 0$ for all $x ∈ (a,b).$
QUESTION: Let $f$ and $g$ be two non-decreasing twice differentiable functions defined on an interval $(a,b)$ such that for each $x ∈ (a,b), f''(x) = g(x)$ and $g''(x) = f(x).$ Suppose also that $f(x)g(x)$ is linear in $x$ on $(a,b).$ Show that we must have $f(x) = g(x) = 0$ for all $x ∈ (a,b).$

MY ANSWER: I have done the proof, but it's not a rigorous one.. this is what I did-
Let $f(x)=x^k$, $(k>0)$ which is increasing on $(a,b)$. Now, $$f'(x)=kx^{k-1}$$$$f''(x)=k(k-1)x^{k-2}$$ According to the question, $g(x)=k(k-1)x^{k-2}$, therefore, $$g'(x)=k(k-1)(k-2)x^{k-3}$$$$g''(x)=k(k-1)(k-2)(k-3)x^{k-4}$$ Now according to the question again, $f(x)=g''(x)$, but $f(x)=x^k$, therefore our statement implies that, $$x^k=k(k-1)(k-2)(k-3)x^{k-4}$$
Also, it is said that $f(x)g(x)$ must be linear in $x$. Therefore, we observe that,
$$k(k-1)(k-2)(k-3)x^kx^{k-4}$$ must be linear in $x$. Which clearly states that, $$k+(k-4)=1$$$$\therefore 2k-4=1$$$$\implies k=\frac{5}2$$
Putting $k=\frac{5}2$ in the previous equation, we get, $$x^4=\frac{5}2(\frac{5}2-1)(\frac{5}2-2)(\frac{5}2-3)$$$$\implies x^4=-\frac{15}{16}$$ which is clearly impossible for any $x$ in $\mathbb{R}$. Therefore, we may conclude that $$k\neq\frac{5}2$$ and the only way to satisfy both the above statements is to make $x=0$.
Therefore, we can conclude that $f(x)=0$ and consequently $g(x)=0$
Note 1: we observe, if $k<4$ then the the value of the derivatives becomes zero somewhere in between and our proof works.
Note 2: if we had assumed the function more generally as $f(x)=x^k+c$ then too, it would have worked, only $c$ would have become zero at last (it is forced to become)..
Now, there are a hell lot of non-decreasing functions out there (even trigonometric functions if defined in suitable intervals) and obviously this proof is not rigorous. Without assuming any function, how do I proceed to do this?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

A: $x=0$ is not a logically correct way to solve these types of functional equations, since $x$ is a variable which is supposed to vary from $a$ to $b$.You cannot fix its value any way whatsoever.

Better to proceed like this:
Assume $f(x)g(x) = kx$ where $k$  is some constant (because of the linearity condition).
Therefore, you get
$$f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) = k$$
$$\Rightarrow f''(x)g(x) + 2f'(x)g'(x) + f(x)g''(x)= 0$$
$$\Rightarrow g^2(x) + 2f'(x)g'(x) + f^2(x)= 0 \tag1$$
Differentiating again gives,
$$\Rightarrow 2g(x)g'(x) + 2f''(x)g'(x) + 2f'(x)g''(x) + 2f(x)f'(x)= 0$$
$$\Rightarrow 4g(x)g'(x) + 4f(x)f'(x)= 0$$
$$\Rightarrow g(x)g'(x) + f(x)f'(x)= 0 \tag{2}$$
If you differentiate two more times, you will get
$$\Rightarrow f(x)g'(x) + g(x)f'(x)= 0 \tag3$$
Now can you solve $(2)$ and $(3)$ for $f(x)$ and $g(x)$?

A: Since $f(x)g(x)$ is linear then its second derivative is 0.So,$f''(x)g(x)+2f'(x)g'(x)+g''(x)f(x) =0$ that is $g^{2}(x)+f^2(x) =-2f'(x)g'(x)$ and as $f,g$ are twice differentiable and non-deacreasing,so $f'(x)$ and $g'(x)$ can not be negative.So $f(x)=g(x)=0$.

The President of the GBA, Lt Gen Sir David Bill KCB led the Gurkha Brigade and Gurkha Regimental and Corps Associations in laying out the Gurkha Brigade Plot (Plot 77) at the Field or Remembrance Ceremony outside Westminster Abbey. His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh followed by Prince Harry, both stopped in front of the GBA Plot where they were greeted by Lt Gen Sir David Bill flanked by the two QGOOs, Capt Kumar Gurung and Capt Sureshkumar Thapa, to review the GBA plot. After the Field of Remembrance Ceremony, the GBA contingent moved to Field Marshal Viscount Slim's statue on Whitehall where his son Viscount Slim and Chairman GBA, Brigadier John Anderson laid the GBA and 6GR wreaths respectively. After that they moved to the Gurkha Statue located on Horse Guards Parade where, after a short Prayer to the Gurkha, the Brigade and Regimental and Corps Association wreaths were laid to commemorate all to those who served with the Gurkha Brigade and Brigade of Gurkhas, who laid down their lives in the service of the Crown. Following the laying of the wreaths a lone piper from 2RGR played a lament that concluded our short but moving ceremony.

I'm a huge UEFA Champions League fan, and I'm sure many of you are, too. This edition of the tournament is loaded with great teams, and quarterfinal pairings were drawn early Friday morning setting up some great matchups.
Any thoughts on the draw or predictions?


Very simple addon for Vampires that displays on screen your current stage and how long before you progress to the next stage.
You can move it around the screen to where you want and it will save the position. It also disappears when you open inventory etc, so isn't cluttering the screen.
