Home » FAQ » Can The Use Of Essure Cause Organ Perforation?
When first introduced to the market in 2002 after gaining FDA approval, Essure was touted as a safe method of birth control for those pursuing a non-invasive implant.
The device worked by being implanted into the Fallopian tubes and subsequently causing an inflammatory response which blocks off the tubes, preventing pregnancy by making the consumer sterile until the device is removed.
However, while the device manufacturer, Bayer AG, continues to stand by the merits of its product, the FDA, news sources, and thousands of consumers are actively disclosing new information to the public regarding the true health risks of Essure.
Consumers have been reporting side effects ranging from pregnancy complications to the need for a hysterectomy caused by their Essure implantation.
What Are Essure Side Effects?
With more information being released daily, the public is finally being informed of the multiple serious side effects that frequently occur because of a faulty Essure device.
Prior to this effort to release information, thousands of consumers were implanted with Essure devices and suffered from severe side effects that significantly altered their lifestyles due to debilitating pain or mental trauma.
Oftentimes, by the time medical professionals finally realized that an Essure implant was the cause of a patients health complication, the patient may have been suffering from major internal pain for years.
While the physical toll on consumers was significant, the mental toll related to some Essure side effects were equally as detrimental.
Pregnancy issues carried extreme mental side effects for patients that were effected. Although marketed as a birth control device, consumers have reported becoming pregnant while still being implanted.
However, these pregnancies often result in miscarriage or other complications due to the Essure implant. These pregnancy complications frequently took major mental health tolls of the consumers and families that were subjected to those events.
Are Migration and Perforation Common Essure Side Effects?
Although there are a great deal of side effects associated with Essure implants, the most commonly reported side effects are device migration and organ perforation.
Device migration occurs when an Essure implant begins moving around the consumers body, away from the original implant site. When migration occurs, the risk for organ perforation or increase inflammation is incredibly high.
At times, the effects of migration or inflammation caused by an Essure device can be so great, that a consumer is forced to undergo a hysterectomy to remove the device and alleviate the pain suffered.
Commonly occurring due to migration, perforation can be deadly to a consumer if left untreated for an extended period of time. Perforation is when an Essure device cuts through or tears an organ or artery around the implant site resulting in internal bleeding or if severe enough, organ failure.
Perforations, while commonly associated with migrations, have been reported to also occur during the implantation process. This type of perforation happens when a medical professional inserts the device too far into a consumers Fallopian tubes.

ETHICS AND THE ENDLESS KNOT
by contemplativeinquiry
Exploring ethics through contemplative trance and active imagination
In Clear and Present Thinking (1) a book about logic, Brendan Myers includes a Chapter on Moral Reasoning. In this chapter he talks about Virtue Theory as one "where the weight of moral concern is on the character and identity of the person who acts and chooses, as well as the habits he or she develops and discharges through her actions and their consequences".
Some days after reading this, I found myself in my inner sacred space, a heart space, the garden of the Goddess. I was not doing any formal practice. I was just there. When the garden first emerged, it was specifically as Sophia's garden. And so it was this time.
There was a banner hanging from a tree branch, hawthorn I think. It was red, with a gold pentangle inscribed on it. I recognised it as the heraldic emblem from Gawain's shield in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2). In this 14th century English poem the pentangle is introduced as a token of fidelity first devised by King Solomon. It is unbroken anywhere, and known in England as the 'endless knot'. The poem involves an interrogation of 'virtue' as understood both in King Arthur's Camelot and in the older world of the Green Knight far to the north. Gawain will have to navigate both physical perils and moral ambiguities.
Why did I find this device, as a spontaneously emerging image, in Sophia's Garden? Firstly, I had been thinking about virtue ethics as described by Brendan Myers. Secondly, the pentangle in this form has been a significant image for me ever since I encountered the poem in my late teens. I've revisited it from time to time ever since, and this includes the reading of John Matthews' Sir Gawain: Knight of the Goddess (3) which makes the link with Sophia. "In the Gnostic system, Sophia, the divine emanation of the Godhead, would not permit anyone to enter her Realm of Light, unless they were in complete balance, and bore the sign of the pentangle upon them".
The offered meaning, as I see it, is that when addressing virtue ethics, I can't rely on reason alone. Virtue ethics is up close and personal, more than an abstract principle or set of rules. I need to mobilise more of myself. In Sophia's Garden I'm in a deepened form of awareness, and can contemplate the imagery using heart and intuition as well as rationality. They all work together.
Allowing the vision, I entered a light trance, with the image firmly in mind. I lay down with pen and paper near. I fell asleep for a short period – not part of the plan, but cleansing and useful. On waking I had words: Love/Wisdom. Sophia is Goddess of Love/Wisdom. The love is the greater quality, and it is an Eros fuelled love, for Sophia is the emanation of the Divine who 'fell' and then recovered (4). There must an opening up and movement towards someone or something, however slight and tentative, for it to be 'love'. Whereas I owe justice and a pre-supposition of basic good will towards sentient beings, love is in my experience beyond command and does not result from a conscious act of will – though I can certainly work at expanding my potential to be a conduit. Wisdom is connected to this love, acting as a detector of distortions – empty or ungrounded sentiment, unaware compulsion, possessive attachment, 'spiritual' love as world rejecting flight, or driven and reckless forms of generosity lacking in self-care.
But love modifies wisdom too. Wisdom here is too energised to be altogether prudential. Counting the cost may make sense, but it's not the only criterion. Wisdom uses the head yet is lodged in the heart. At the same time, wisdom also knows that 'Love' and 'Wisdom' as words can begin to solidify into things, always a problem with 'nouning'. They can become wooden idealisations devoid of context and process, accessories to self-image, identity performance and external reputation. They can become alienated and commodified. They can even turn and be turned against us. So wisdom guards herself and love by guarding against too much reference to 'Wisdom' and 'Love'.
At this stage I'm thinking again of the pentangle and wanting to use it to bring the virtues into relationship with each other rather than separating them out. I'm feeling happy about using this traditional framework so long as I can be playful with it. For I understand this to be the Sophian Way – with solemnity seen as having a stupefying effect, anaesthetising awareness. So in this ethics of the endless knot, I place love at the apex of the pentangle as I look at the banner, I move down to the base on my right, igniting the love/wisdom link.
Then, moving diagonally up left from the base I come to justice, for love and wisdom need justice in the world for the sake of their own flourishing: injustice inhibits the free flow of love and wisdom. I've already named justice, and fairness, as something I owe to all on a personal level, based on a presupposition of basic good will. I'm also clear about the need to work for justice in the wider world. On this, my vision is of a justice is careful of its methods, or it risks licensing revenge, both in power and opposition. Care about language and imagery are themselves a work for justice. Injustice wants to constrain and police these great resources. It seeks to close down their emancipatory magic. Working for justice is rational activity in service to love and wisdom. Sophia has always cried out against injustice, false justice and no justice. She has an ambivalent relationship with the law.
The classical virtue following on from justice, as I move in a straight line from left to right, is courage. What kind of courage am I looking at? For me it's not about 'warriorship', with its theatricality and somewhat militaristic associations, however reframed for current values and conditions. (Perhaps that's why my pentangle is inscribed on a banner rather than a shield.) Rather, it combines resilience with witnessing. Early Taoism captures the resilience aspect: "true goodness is like water … it goes right down to the low loathsome places, and so finds the way" and "the hard sword fails, the stiff tree's felled. The hard and great go under. The soft and weak stay up" (5). I understand witnessing in a 'truth to power' sense and link it to my notion of care about emancipatory, life and world-expanding language and imagery and the need to guard them. This witnessing courage, to be honourable, may involve the willing loss of recognised honour and standing in a world that is formally virtuous. So it depends on a strong inner authority and a willingness to go against tribal custom. This is the courage I would tie in with love, wisdom and justice.
Moving down diagonally from courage, we come to the base of the golden pentangle on the left hand side, where I place temperance. In the course of its long history, 'temperance' has tended to shift from ideas of moderation to ideas of abstinence, as culture and religion have changed. Here and now, I have a resonance of 'treading lightly on the earth', in two senses. One is about limiting demands on material resources for the health and flourishing of the earth and its inhabitants. The other is about an ultimate non-attachment to material goods, contents of consciousness and the self-image they create. For me, there is a balance here which is why the word temperance comes in. I can love my possessions, my ideas and visions, my loved ones, my neighbours and my sense of who I am. But I am not fundamentally identified, not wholly immersed, in them. For these forms of love, if they are to flourish, demand some space around them, and there is a sense in which I am alone even within these nourishing interconnections. In another sense I am not. For I can go back to the simplicity of aware being and loving, timelessly arising from the fertile latency of the void. In this way I complete the endless knot.
This vision and reflection are only a beginning. I intend to continue engaging with this ethical approach, integrating it into my contemplative inquiry.

Heavy Rains Force Evacuation Orders For More Than 1 Million People In Japan Some areas have already surpassed record rainfall levels, and with more rain in the forecast, the ground could simply give way, Japan's weather agency says.
Heavy Rains Force Evacuation Orders For More Than 1 Million People In Japan

Kyodo/Reuters
Rescue workers and local residents watch the Wada River, which has been swollen due to heavy rain in Kagoshima, Japan. More than a million people in southwestern Japan are under evacuation orders due to torrential rains.
Torrential rains have created dangerous conditions in southwestern Japan, prompting evacuation orders for more than 1.1 million people in the Kyushu region, according to state broadcaster NHK News. Officials are warning of the risk of flooding and mudslides.
Roughly half of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's main islands, is under a warning or advisory for risks of landslides and heavy rain, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The flood warning covers a slightly smaller area.
"Please take action to protect your lives," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Wednesday, according to The Japan Times.
As of early evening local time, authorities had issued evacuation orders for 1,123,000 people in parts of two prefectures: Kagoshima and Miyazaki. Evacuation advisories were issued for nearly 870,000 people in nearby areas, according to NHK.
The evacuation orders come as Kyushu and nearby regions have struggled to absorb persistent heavy rains that began late last week. Some areas have already surpassed record rainfall levels, and with more rain in the forecast, the ground could simply give way, Japan's weather agency says.
"Rainfall in some parts of southern Kyushu has reached 1,000 millimeters [39 inches] since Friday," NHK reports.
The governor of Kagoshima prefecture asked Japan's Self-Defense Forces on Wednesday to dispatch a disaster team to help residents and emergency crews cope with landslides and floods, according to Japan's Ministry of Defense.
"Japanese Self-Defense Forces has about 14,000 personnel in place," Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami said. He added that Japan's central government is coordinating police, firefighters, coast guard and other agencies to respond quickly to emergencies.
The torrential rain comes from a phenomenon known as the Baiu front, which brings seasonal rains to most of Japan. In the current situation, the front has stalled out and is pouring water onto southern Japan, according to Japanese weather officials.
Historically, the rainy period usually lasts from early June to mid- or late July for Kyushu and areas to the north.

whats going on? thats worst than bad luck, isnt it? fishing is broken or what??
If I am getting the timing right on your posts, your first post would have been counting fishing during the day. During that time the Midnight Salmon fishing rate is lower. It increases at night so that extra hour included night fishing.
No, it was during the night. I started fishing around 8 pm.
Not sure anyone has specific timing on what is considered "night" for the midnight salmon. I am half thinking it started at 9 pm, though then it becomes a question of that being server time, or pacific, since Blizzard seems to reset all servers each day at 8 am pacific and the DMF ends at midnight pacific.

The author of the communication (initial letter dated 16 May 1987; further letters dated 23 June,, 21 July, 2 and 23 August, 30 October, 2 December 1987, 18 January, 10 February, 8 and 4 18 April, and 10 May, 6, 8, 27 and 30 June 1988)is C. L. D. , a French citizen born in 1956 at Lannejen, France. He claims to be a victim of violations by the Government of France of articles 2 (l-3), 19 (2), 26 and 27 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
2.1 In his initial submission, the author states that the French Postal:' Administration (PTT) has refused to issue him postal cheques printed in the Breton language, which he asserts is his mother tongue. Many persons in his district of residence are said to be proficient in Breton and numerous employees of the local postal administration process letters addressed in Breton. He observes in this connection that other countries have adjusted to multiple language correspondence. In a subsequent letter of 21 July 1987, the author claims that the refusal by the French fiscal authorities to acknowledge the text of his address written in Breton also violates the above-mentioned articles of the Covenant. He further alleges that the fact that the fiscal authorities have refused to take into consideration information provided by him in Breton has resulted in his being asked to pay taxes which do not take into account tax-deductible professional expenses.
2.2 With respect to the requirement of exhaustion of domestic remedies, the author states that he has sought the annulment of a decision of the Regional Chief of the Postal Administration in Rennes, dated 27 August 1985, rejecting his request to have his postal cheques printed in Breton. The author states that on 28 October 1985 he filed an action against the PTT with the Administrative Tribunal of Rennes with a view to having the above decision reversed. With respect to the second complaint, directed against the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, he states that he filed a complaint with the Administrative Tribunal of Rennes on 21 July 1986, requesting the annulment of which he refers to as the implicit rejection of his complaint by the fiscal authorities". A further complaint submitted to the same tribunal asking for annulment of a request by the Regional Head Office of Fiscal Services (Finistère) to submit an account of his professional expenses for 1984, in French rather than in Breton, was rejected by judgement of 13 May 1987.
3. By decision dated 1 July 1987, addressed to the author only, the Working Group of the Human Rights Committee requested further clarifications from the author as to steps taken by him to exhaust domestic remedies after his petition of 28 October 1985 to the Administrative Tribunal.
4.1 By letter dated 30 October 1987, the author replied to the questions posed by the Working Group. He states that he has taken no steps to exhaust domestic remedies after petitioning the Administrative Tribunal on 28 October 1985. With respect to his action against the Ministry of the Economy and Finance (address in Breton and statements of professional expenditures), the author claims that there have been no new developments since his earlier submissions to the Committee.
4.2 Under cover of a letter dated 6 June 1988, the author forwards the texts of two judgements rendered by the Administrative Tribunal on 26 May 1988, dismissing his actions against the PTT and against the Ministry of the Economy and Finance. The Tribunal endorsed the conclusions of the representatives of the PTT and of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, copies of which the author forwarded under cover of a letter dated 27 June 1988. The author argues that he does not intend to appeal against these judgments to the Conseil d'Etat, since this would cause "considerable delays" and because he is convinced that-the result would, in any case, not be, favourable to him.
5.1 Before considering any claims contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 87 of its provisional rules of procedure, decide whether or not it is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
5.2 The Committee has ascertained, as it is required to do under article S(2)(a)of the Optional Protocol, that the same matter is not being examined under another procedure of international investigation or settlement.
5.3 With respect to the requirement of exhaustion of domestic remedies under article 5(2)(b)of the Optional Protocol, the Committee notes that the author does not intend to appeal the judgments of the Administrative Tribunal of Rennes of 26 May 1988 to the Conseil d'Etat, given the delays that an appeal would entail and because of his belief that such an appeal would be dismissed. The Committee finds, however, that, in the particular circumstances disclosed by the communication, the author's contentions did not absolve him from the obligation to pursue remedies available to him. It concludes that the further pursuit of the author's case could not be deemed a priori futile and observes that mere doubts about the success of a remedy do not render it ineffective and cannot be admitted as a justification for non-compliance. Unable to find that the application of domestic remedies in this case has been unreasonably prolonged, the Committee concludes that the requirement of article S(2)(b)of the Optional Protocol has not been met.
6. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
1. That the communication is inadmissible
2. That this decision be communicated to the author and, for information, to the State party.

What does it mean to "be a man"? What are we asking men to do and be? In what ways are these expectations positive? problematic? As issues about men, sexual assault, and gun violence become increasingly visible and polarized, the debate is often reduced to individual behavior, character, and consequences. But the pattern of behavior suggests that this is less about bad men making bad decisions, and more about the social expectations of manhood and masculinity affecting us all. By watching films and having open and honest dialogue, we'll grapple with what it means to be a man, the positive and/or negative effects of these expectations, and what manhood and masculinity could and should look like moving forward.  Period 3 ~ Roxanna Harlow
Bluegrass Masterclass
Intended primarily for the DCBU campers, this class is open to all. Don't miss this chance to learn from this assemblage of master bluegrass artists. A different artist will present each day, covering a variety of topics in a relaxed, informal and informative atmosphere. Bring your instruments and voices – you never know what will happen! Period 3 ~ Tim O'Brien, Jan Fabricius, Che Apalache, Chris Luquette, Mark Schatz, Bob Lucas
Learning to Do Better: Teaching and Modeling Antiracism in the Classroom
Theory, content, practice, and action: How we present ourselves in the classroom is at least as important for what our students learn as the substance of our lesson plans. If one of our goals is to nurture antiracist students, then let us as teachers get over our fear of being called racist, and just commit actively to listening and doing better. Let's stop focusing on our intent and start acknowledging our impact. Let us consider how empowering it is to recognize that what we do - especially what we do unintentionally - matters a lot. In this class we will think about not just what to teach about race; but how to model antiracist behavior, publicly messing up, and taking ?responsibility??accountability?, and what it means to commit to the perpetual growth of ourselves and others in an environment that encourages and nurtures us to do better, rather than punishing or humiliating us when we are not perfect. Topics of conversation will include: dialogic education, saying "I don't know" and "I was wrong," unconscious bias and equity primes, microaggressions and the histories that conceal them from some of us while making them completely obvious to others, discourses of allyship and co-conspiracy, and the classroom practice of epistemological privileging. Period 4 ~ Moira Meltzer-Cohen
Look & Listen: The Beauty of the Blues
Blues is the underpinning of much of our best popular music: folk, jazz, rock, soul, and R & B. Using classic and rare recordings and film, this multi-media course, now being offered for its 23nd year, is guaranteed to open your ears and eyes to the blues and its mammoth impact on American culture. Count on a good time when Cary, producer of the syndicated radio show, Blues from the Red Rooster Lounge, and former editor and publisher of Blues Access magazine, shares his lifetime of experiences as a fan, radio host, and magazine publisher, along with a bevy of examples from his vast audio and video collection. If you thought the blues was a bummer, think again! Period 5 ~ Cary Wolfson
Moving Toward Racial Harmony
It feels like so many people have moved away from racial harmony. Recent studies and polls have shown that we have become more racially divided about various issues within the last several years. In this class, we will discuss how we can be in the vanguard of moving toward racial harmony. Participants will learn the roadblocks to racial harmony, how to overcome these roadblocks, and practical applications to move toward racial harmony from the classroom to our personal spheres of influence. Period 3 ~ Richard Smith
Is there a connection between race and crime? Is immigration related to more crime? Why is there a higher rate of incarcerated Blacks and Latinos than Whites? Where do statistics related to race and crime come from and what do they mean? These questions and topics such as the history of immigration in the U.S., history of slavery, and the history of how the criminal justice system reinforces racial inequality will be interactively discussed during this class. Hopefully by the end of the class, participants will gain an informed perspective relating to the statistics, historical contexts, misconceptions, and stereotypes on race, crime, and criminal justice (CJ) related issues.Period 4 ~ Brandie Pugh
Peace Education in the Classroom and with Adult Offenders
This class is a journey. We will be looking at the experience of peace education with children who have come from fragmented and dysfunctional backgrounds. We will explore their journey and how we can help them overcome the negative experiences which have impacted so greatly on their lives. We will use songs, film, poetry, and whatever vehicle makes their learning so meaningful. We will also explore the experiences of adult offenders who have embarked on a path that sets out to redirect their offending behavior. We will discover how we can all harness our anger as a force for good. In the time available we will just dip our toes in the water; but you will be inspired to take your learning back into your own communities. Period 2 ~ Paul Creighton
Samaritans at the Border, Immigrants Among Us
The United States has always been known as a country of immigrants. You need only to turn to the revered Statue of Liberty and read the chiseled words, "Give me your tired, your weak, your huddled masses..." to understand that immigration is central to us as a nation. In the last ten years, there has been unprecedented immigration along our southern border as "people made poor" from the effects of globalization have been pushed from their countries and pulled into the United States to work in our gardens, hotels, and kitchens. This workshop will focus on globalization and how it affects communities which in turn stimulate immigration into our First World country. It will lift up the plight of the migrant and illuminate the deep instinct for survival and love of family. It will describe and lay out the rich culture and climate of the borderlands, and it will tell the story of a humanitarian group called the Green Valley Samaritans, who give food, water, and medical care to those whose lives are on the line. Many from the Common Ground on the Hill community have visited the Samaritans in Arizona to further understand their mission and work, often while attending our sister event, Common Ground on the Border. Period 1 ~ Randy Mayer, Shura Wallin
Social Change, Cultural Resistance and the Religious Imagination CLOSED
Enjoy a week-long class with Octavio Carrasco, which will visit three distinct topics. The class will visit the Mayas of Guatemala and learn how they adapted, interpreted and absorbed Christianity to protect and prolong their way of life. Secondly, the class will investigate the religious dimensions of popular music. While emerging forms of music are almost always shunned or labeled as dangerous, we are entering a time when popular music is one of the centers of cultural identity and performance. Finally, Octavio asks us to consider the complex relationship of the cultural encounter of Europeans, Africans and Aborigines that defines U.S. history, it becoming imperative to consider the ways the entire country is a borderlands. This moves beyond our modern conceptions of states and connects us back to the process of settlement, displacement, and development that is going on even now. All three topics will encourage discussion and reflection. Period 1 ~ Octavio Carrasco
Social Exclusion, Social Pain CLOSED
Bullying, particularly among children and adolescents, has received a great deal of attention recently from educators, parents, and even lawmakers - and anti-bullying efforts seem to be everywhere. A large body of recent psychological research suggests, however, that ostracism and social exclusion may actually be even more damaging than bullying. Regardless of which is worse, it is clear that both types of social behavior are harmful. This class will begin with a look at the research on social ostracism: how it works, its impact, and its consequences. With that foundation, the class will then consider strategies for countering the effects of ostracism, exclusion, and bullying through interventions and public policy. We will also examine the connections between social exclusion and prejudice, discrimination, and conflict. You will emerge from the week with an understanding of how the kindness of a single individual can often be the key to negating the impact of exclusionary behavior, reinforcing the theme that - even when standing alone - every single one of us has the power to make a difference. (NOTE: Much of the research that serves as the basis of this class involves children and adolescents, sometimes in school settings, thus making the class a particularly appropriate selection for teachers and educators.) Period 2 ~ Steve Nida
Stories, Customs and Traditions of the Woodland First Nations
Pun Plamondon, a master Ottawa storyteller and tradition bearer will facilitate a review of Great Lakes and Eastern Woodland First Nations practices from the ancient to the contemporary. This class has no homework, handouts or power points. Period 5 ~ Pun Plamondon
Traditions and Transformation CLOSED
Participants of any skill level or background are invited to explore tradition from a holistic standpoint through Traditions and Transformation. Within many music camps, schools, and colleges, traditions are often presented in welcoming environments of learning. Yet, many of these traditions often include stories and documentary evidence illustrating how those traditions are intertwined with America's history of slavery, racism, appropriation, and exploitation. Traditions and Transformation holds that practitioners of any American form of music, dance, or art can use the history of that tradition as a tool for conflict transformation and dialogue. The instructors will work with attendees to take what they do as educators and place it into a larger applied framework of history, community, and critical engagement. By using archives, history, and personal experience, each person will realize the flexibility of their art form and pedagogy.Period 4 ~ Greg Adams, Dena Jennings, Junious Brickhouse
Tuvan Culture and Music
The Tuvan Republic lies at the geographical center of Asia in southern Siberia, Russia, just north of Mongolia. Learn about life in Tuva and how music, spirituality, history, and the natural environment have inspired and shaped the Tuvan people. You will also learn about everyday life in Tuva, both in the countryside and in their capital, Kyzyl. There will be emphasis on how Tuva is a musical culture, with demonstrations of Tuvan musical instruments and the opportunity for members of the audience to try the instruments themselves. Period 3 ~ Robert McLaughlin


When Garabed and his father, Haroutiun Kojaian, left their beloved village of Efkere/Kayseri to immigrate to America in 1912 and 1913, they had no idea that it would be the last time that they would see their family, or their village. By the end of the First World War, still living in the United States, they were left with nothing but their memories, and a stack of letters that had been written to them from their loved ones in Efkere between the years 1912 and 1915. More than 100 years later, these letters have been painstakingly translated, and are presented here for the first time. Written primarily in the provincial Turkish of the Ottoman countryside using the Armenian alphabet, the letters also contain passages written in the now-extinct Armenian dialect of Efkere. They provide a fascinating glimpse into pre-World War I village life in Ottoman Anatolia in this pivotal time for both the Armenian and Turkish peoples.


Social media is most often used by people and companies to promote their products and present themselves and their brand, in the best light.
But did you know that 92% of recruiters also use social media in their recruitment efforts? And not just for advertising a position either.
With millennials fast forming the backbone of the US workforce and Generation Z (the moniker for the generation following millennials) hot on their heels, keen to establish themselves in their chosen industry, targeting these two groups should be the focus of all recruiters.
A large part of these people's lives play out on social media, not just their social lives, but all aspects, including looking for new job opportunities.
And that is where you should be looking to direct your recruiting efforts, to social media. If you don't have your action plan sorted out yet, don't worry, we can help you out with our 9 tips on social media recruiting strategies.
Building your company's online reputation.
Using video to engage with passive candidates.
Involving employees in sharing posts on social media.
Being active on other social media – it is not only about Linkedin.
Social media advertising – using insights to perfect your campaign.
Keeping potential candidates engaged – building a community.
But first, what does social media recruiting entail?
Social media recruiting is the means by which candidates are recruited using social media platforms as talent databases, or for advertising openings and positions.
Social media recruitment can be advertising jobs either through HR vendors or through crowdsourcing, where job seekers share potential job openings within their personal, online social networks.
It is the practice of identifying, attracting, engaging and hiring both active and passive candidates, by using the social networks they're on. Recruiters can check out potential candidates' social media profiles to get a sense of who they are and what they're looking for.
Recruiters use various channels in their social media recruiting strategies, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Glassdoor, YouTube, Google+, Instagram, and Snapchat.
How is social media recruiting different to other types of recruitment?
Social media recruiting differs from other types of recruiting (such as online recruitment, direct recruitment, internal recruitment, external recruitment, global recruitment, employee referrals, and mobile recruitment) because it allows the recruiter to connect directly with both active and passive job seekers.
You can find key candidates by engaging with them through shared passions, ideals or networks, something you can't do with the other recruitment methods.
How effective is social media recruiting?
It can be a little tricky to determine the effectiveness of a social media recruitment strategy and return on investment. It is largely because the vast majority of candidates do not apply for the role that's attracted them through the social channels that they discovered it on.
However, don't let that put you off. If social media recruitment works for 92% of recruiters, there's got to be something in it, right?
So, let's look at the ways in which you can best use social media to find your next great hire.
Some of these strategies are designed to target passive candidates, those people who aren't necessarily looking for a new job but could be persuaded to jump ship if the right opportunity presented itself.
Some of these strategies are targeting active candidates, those people who are actively seeking new horizons.
You can implement one or all of the following social media recruiting strategies, you are limited solely by your imagination and your budget.
1. Build your company's online reputation.
Build your brand up and be the company that everyone knows about and wants to work for. Become the authority in your specific field. Don't just target customers with your branding. If they're already invested in you, they could be the people you need to help your company grow, from the inside.
Millennials are looking to establish an emotional connection with the right company, so give them something to be passionate about. Share content that shows your company in a great light, that it's a great place to work – organically attract candidates.
Think about those companies that consistently get talked about, the ones with the unique working environments, the great employee benefits – can you become one of those?
Above all, be consistent. Have one voice, keep your messaging on track and be open about your values, ethics, and beliefs.

2. Use video to engage with passive candidates.
Once you've established your presence on your chosen social media channels, you want to take your relationship to the next level, you have to engage with them.
And one of the most effective forms of engagement is video.
Video is the medium that social media users are 10 times more likely to engage with than any other form of content.
It is the type of content that 52% of marketing professionals around the world agree provides the greatest return on investment.
This could be due to the human brain being able to process visual information 60,000 times faster than text, or it could be that you can convey so much more than just a simple message in a video, thanks to the mix of non-verbal messaging, body language, verbal tone and visual clues that it will incorporate too.
Whatever it is, harness video's appeal to target passive candidates and other professionals in your industry.
• Use live video to host spontaneous Q&As.
• Let people have a snoop inside the company and experience the company culture for themselves.
People love behind the scenes footage, so give them what they want.
3. Involve employees in sharing posts on social media.
The point of social media is to extend your reach.
Lean on your existing employee network to get the word out. Ask your employees to get involved in the recruitment drive, have them share your posts on their social media platforms.
The power of a personal recommendation should never be underestimated, from either those looking to recruit or those looking for recruitment. Furthermore, social media shares are among the most efficient sources of hires.
Just ensure you have a corporate social media policy in place and that all employees are aware of it and what is expected of them. They will be your brand ambassadors after all, and you don't want them to accidentally damage your brand's reputation.
An estimated 87% of recruiters currently use LinkedIn to source talent (55% use Facebook and 47% use Twitter). Don't just optimize your company's LinkedIn profile to show you're actively recruiting (although obviously do this), but join and participate in LinkedIn groups too, relevant to your industry.
There is a wealth of specialized communities on LinkedIn, places where candidates are actively involved, trying to position themselves in their field, seek them out. For example, if you're hiring sales people, you can join The Sales Association group for sales and business development professionals.
It's all about the power of networking, and in these groups, you can easily identify the top talent and key influencers. Knowing who these people are will make your life much easier when it comes to attracting the right professionals.
5. But it is not only about Linkedin.
It is also worth mentioning that you should try different strategies depending on the different social media platform you are using: one size does not fit all, and what might work for Twitter won't necessarily translate to LinkedIn or Facebook.
All of these social platforms have been designed to appeal to different audiences, to be used differently, so take advantage of that and be creative in your approach. Figure out which profile gets the most engagement and run with that.
And don't just stick with the big three either (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter), create profiles on Snapchat, Instagram & YouTube.
Starbucks builds its employer brand on Instagram, engaging a wide audience via social media posts.
Moreover, think of the niche networks where your dream candidates could be hanging out.
• Developers like to share knowledge on GitHub and StackOverflow.
• Marketers can be found on Moz and Warrior Forum.
• And if you're after a great leader, have a browse of Quora for an answer they may have supplied.
If you're sharing content, be it your own or curated content, ensure that what you share isn't viewed as spam. Know what questions your audience is asking and give them the answers. Keep them engaged.
Social media doesn't work if you don't have something that others want to share – that's kind of the point of being social. Your content has to be entertaining, useful or interesting.
Essentially anything that isn't simply a statement of fact or length of a dreary text. If you want your content to go viral, give people something worth sharing.
LEGO has showed how their LEGO Technic works in real life by building a drivable Bugatti. The video has generated over 2.2 million views as of October 2018.
7. Social media advertising – use insights to perfect your campaign.
Social media advertising works so well because of your ability to target who sees the advert.
Unlike traditional advertising where you are playing a numbers game and hoping that out of the millions of people who view the advert, you might find your ruby in the rubble, social media advertising targets your dream candidates because you define your search parameters.
But to truly add power to your social media recruiting strategy you want to use the insight tools available to you to perfect your advertising campaign, so be sure to include measurable KPIs when you create your advert.
8. Keep potential candidates engaged – build a community.
As mentioned before, don't just spam your audience with subpar content, give them something to engage with and build a community of like-minded people.
Don't throw information at them and create a one-way street, start the conversation, and carry it on.
Direct message people, approach people in your network who could potentially become part of your talent cloud. Talk to them about the company, about the benefits and potential opportunities of working there.
Be proactive and go to your audience, don't wait for them to come to you.
Amazon is building their Talent Community on social media, updating their potential employees on what is going on in the company and the industry.
Take time to understand the power of the humble hashtag. It is so easy to put a # in front of a word or a sentence and expect it to work its magic – it's not that simple.
Know the reach of your hashtags, how many people use it, the geography, the demographic – if your hashtag isn't targeting your key audience, it is redundant, lose it.
On the flip side, if it is too popular you run the risk of your message getting lost in the tidal wave of messages also using it.
Try and be inventive with your hashtags, personalize your hashtags to you, your company and what you want to achieve with them.
Social media recruiting will take time, Rome was not built in a day and nor will your online presence be built overnight.
However, almost half of recruiters utilizing social media recruiting strategies report improvement in both the quantity and quality of candidates. That's why it can be worthwhile to put time and energy into implementing these strategies.
Don't forget, your social media recruiting strategy should be well thought out, planned beforehand and documented to include your target audience, where they spend time online, guidelines for establishing relationships and which social channels to be used. Fail to plan and you will plan to fail.
• You could reach the elusive passive candidates.
• You can see someone's credentials first hand, without needing their resume.
• By sharing your company culture online you could find a great culture fit, and that can be just as important as competency.
• Ultimately you can save money in your recruiting drive because the majority of these social media recruiting strategies cost next to nothing (if anything), all you have to invest is your time.


IBM, a leading computer manufacturer has introduced a platform for producers and other representatives of the agriculture industry. The company on 24 September introduced the 'Watson Decision Platform for Agriculture' that will help create electronic records for complete farm operations.
The Watson platform uses the data to make the farmers aware of probable or upcoming issues. Moreover, it can compile information from the local and futures grain markets. Producers can also get alerts regarding the best time to sell their crops.

Q: Why doesn't JPA repeat persist method throw an exception? Product product = new Product();
product.setName( "foo" );
product.setPrice(BigDecimal.valueOf( 4.5 ) );
pm.create( product ); // pm delegates calls to an entity manager object using persist method and tx is immediately commited after the call

List<Product> products = pm.findAllProducts();
products.stream().forEach( System.out::println ); // New product is listed too.

pm.create( product ); // Causes no exception! But, as per API, it should.

products = pm.findAllProducts(); // Fetch successful
products.stream().forEach( System.out::println ); // No difference from first print.

As per persistence API, if an entity alredy exists, persist(called from pm.create) throw's EntityExistsException, but its not happening as per code.

*

*Pesistence provider(PP) - EclipseLink.

*Why is PP ignoring repeat persist?

*In what circumstances does a PP choose to throw an exception?

EDIT:

 }

A: As per the JPA Spec:

*

*If X is a new entity, it becomes managed. The entity X will be entered into the database at or
  before transaction commit or as a result of the flush operation.

*If X is a preexisting managed entity, it is ignored by the persist operation (...)

*If X is a detached object, the EntityExistsException may be thrown when the persist
  operation is invoked, or the EntityExistsException or another PersistenceException may be thrown at flush or commit time

Apple Scab, Rust and Frog-eye Leaf Spot- Which is What?
As Jim Chatfield and I were out in the "Crablandia" plot today, we noticed the onset of multiple foliar diseases. Many tree lovers at this time of year start to panic as some of the crabapple leaves begin to turn yellow and drop. They are often frustrated because they were told that the crabapple they chose was scab resistant, but it still gets spots, the leaves turn yellow and then they fall off. That's the Apple Scab fungus right… Well, maybe so and maybe not!

One of my all-time favorite plant galls is the appropriately named Translucent Oak Gall. The galls are produced by the gall-wasp, Amphibolips nubilipennis (family Cynipidae). They arise from a leaf vein on the lower leaf surface and measure around 1/2 - 3/4" in diameter. Their shape and color causes them to strongly resemble tiny, pink balloons or pink grapes hanging beneath the leaves of red, scarlet, and black oaks.
Recently in Northeast Ohio, the fungal disease known as Orange Rust is beginning to rear its unique, but strange symptoms on brambles, which are also known as cane berries. Specifically, this fungus most often infects black and purple raspberries and sometimes is found on thornless blackberries, but is not known to infect red raspberries.


I would like to write some reviews for each of them but I will probably not.
Electric Dragon & Volkor X : They have a pretty nice "utopian, dystopian, war" feeling.
Hello guys! Welcome to my attempt to do a review for Das Mörtal album Always Loved.
I say attempt to do a review because I have never done an album review. The thing is that this album is so great that I have to share the love with you. So excuse me if I don't use proper words or proper terms when I try to describe the music.
I know about Das Mörtal for a couple of years. According to my Last.fm profile I first listen to him on 13-March-2015. It was around the launch of Hotline Miami 2. The song named Hotline Miami II is simply amazing. It's what drew my attention towards the artist. The sound is clean. He uses synths. The melody is enjoyable. Not sure exactly how to describe it. See… I told you that I don't know what words to use! But the main idea is that Das Mörtal has a really clean sound that I really enjoy listening to especially when I work. It manages to entertain me while at the same time not distract me involuntary… you know on how some songs are… random sounds on random places that really get you out of the "zone". An example of this would me Mac DeMarco's song Moonlight on the River which is very enjoyable until the end of the song where you start to hear random noise.
Another song that I liked is Minimal Chainsaw. This song is a bit in another style. Much more dark & brutal… especially because of that chainsaw sound and repetitive sound patterns. But this only shows that Das Mörtal can work in this whole spectrum of synths.
So… at the end of May I see an announcement that Das Mörtal is going to release his first album on 9th June. Not only that but that album is also going to be released on vinyl! And as some of you might know… I started to collect vinyls of albums that I like. Of course that I'm not going to jump in. I don't buy everything. I only buy albums that work well on vinyl. Meaning albums that have decent songs all around and only only 1-2 good songs per album.

The Conversations Around Adele's Weight Loss: Do We Need Them?
Deepshikha Chakravarti
Singer Adele has taken the Internet by storm by posting a photo of herself after a drastic weight loss. With this image, she thanked her fans on Instagram who had wished her happy birthday. The singer recently turned 32. In the photograph, the singer can be seen standing behind a huge flower wreath in a little black dress with flounced sleeves. The post is said to have garnered some 61,000 comments in just four hours! Yes, she looks lovely and stunning. We also agree with the fan who tweeted, "Adele's transformation is a kind reminder that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to." But did we love the old Adele any less?
The Hello singer is rumoured to have shed a 100lbs by way of a calorie-controlled diet of 'green juice and 1000 calories-a-day' the Dailymail reported. That she was on a weight loss journey would not have been news for many of her fans. Last year at Christmas and early this year in February she shared photographs of herself which showed she was working towards a toned body.

Adele has not commented on her weight loss journey publicly and that has given way to a lot of speculations. Social media is divided over whether it is a good or a bad thing. So, the best thing is to assume that she is feeling healthy and has worked with professionals to achieve a commendable output from her diet and fitness routine. And this entire journey has been able to make her feel really good about herself.

The bigger problem here is how we engage with these weight loss stories. Celebrating them is saying that the conventional idea of beauty is the correct choice to make. In a patriarchal society, which governs how women's bodies should look like, it is seldom that public figures decide to not conform to the stereotype. The only Indian actress I can think of is Vidya Balan. Also, remember that many people would have identified with Adele because of her past appearance and her size. The change will push many more people to look for an Adele Moment without realizing the fact that there is a team and system in place which works with such public figures if and when they decide to undertake such journeys. Such weight loss journeys do not happen overnight and are often supplemented by plastic surgeries and other non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Things which no one talks about. Major weight loss often leaves behind loose skin, which may not look very fab. Closer to home actor Sonam Kapoor as openly talked about this issue on several occasions.
Remember that many people would have identified with Adele because of her past appearance and her size. The change will push many more people to look for an Adele Moment.
Our society's relationship with fat is a complicated one. Beauty doesn't have to be determined by a person's size. Adele is an Oscar-winning singer. She has 15 Grammy Awards and 18 Billboard Music Awards to her credit. We have always admired her for that. She is an inspiration. We will assume her weight loss is not just for vanity. Anyway, her size doesn't tell us anything about the state of her mind. We loved her then, we love her now. We hope she finds comfort in her newly acquired shape, we promise to celebrate women in all sizes.

Q: Borderless windows on Linux Is their a standard way to make a particular window borderless on Linux? I believe that the window border is drawn by your window manager, so it may be that I just need to use a particular window manager (that would be find, I'd just need to know which one)... My hope is that all the window managers might follow some standard that allows me to do this programatically...

A: Using Xlib and old _MOTIF_WM_HINTS:
struct MwmHints {
    unsigned long flags;
    unsigned long functions;
    unsigned long decorations;
    long input_mode;
    unsigned long status;
};
enum {
    MWM_HINTS_FUNCTIONS = (1L << 0),
    MWM_HINTS_DECORATIONS =  (1L << 1),

    MWM_FUNC_ALL = (1L << 0),
    MWM_FUNC_RESIZE = (1L << 1),
    MWM_FUNC_MOVE = (1L << 2),
    MWM_FUNC_MINIMIZE = (1L << 3),
    MWM_FUNC_MAXIMIZE = (1L << 4),
    MWM_FUNC_CLOSE = (1L << 5)
};

Atom mwmHintsProperty = XInternAtom(display, "_MOTIF_WM_HINTS", 0);
struct MwmHints hints;
hints.flags = MWM_HINTS_DECORATIONS;
hints.decorations = 0;
XChangeProperty(display, window, mwmHintsProperty, mwmHintsProperty, 32,
        PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *)&hints, 5);

These days NetWM/EWMH hints are preferred, but as far as I know all modern window managers still support this.

devilspie

A totally crack-ridden program for freaks and weirdos who want precise control over what windows do when they appear. If you want all XChat windows to be on desktop 3, in the lower-left, at 40% transparency, you can do it.

I use it to have a borderless, sticky, task-skipped terminal on my desktop.
There's also a devilspie 2 which uses Lua instead of s-expressions and claims to be better maintained.

His experiences with Werner Herzog open issue z—the coop! Pigeoneering: "The future flights of these training pigeons and the early flights herein are dedicated, with respect, to the director of the Rogue School, Werner Herzog. This past January countless times did he speak to us on the dizzying urgencys," (Pat believes "sometimes the right misspelling is the shortcut to poetry") "of a peregrine falcon mid-flap, catapulting its way through the sky's cold forest tops…feeding off the doomed dreams of perpetual adventure." The story details Pat's conversations with Herzog, then how Pat built and equipped his pigeon hotel with floral décor—named Babylon Gardens, found the only pigeon store and expert in the area, and stocked his coop with a lively array of birds. The narrator protects them from raccoons and foul weather, witnesses their flights and fights, and, notably, the egg-sitting of Sweet Angie and the birth of her baby. The palm and floral garden he cultivates provide shade, nourishment, and a notion of a private world.
Patrick McCarthy has some art work exhibited at Maurizio Cattelan's Family Business Gallery in the Megabodega 'zine show at 520 W. 21st Street in Chelsea, a pop-up space which closes after July 6th. This mystery man, who doesn't even sign his 'zines, may be reached by pigeon carrier or by mail sent to: 33 Eldert Street, floor 2, Brooklyn NY 11207.
Footnote: At Dartmouth this weekend, I read The Gift, a classic by Lewis Hyde about the need to separate art's creation from commercial considerations. I wonder how many of today's artists subscribe to this model.
So, how does he survive, financially?

Tezepelumab Regulatory Submission Accepted and Granted FDA Priority Review in the US for the Treatment of Patients with Asthma
AstraZeneca's Biologics License Application (BLA) for tezepelumab has been accepted and granted Priority Review for the treatment of asthma from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Tezepelumab is being developed by AstraZeneca in collaboration with Amgen.
The FDA grants Priority Review to applications for medicines that offer significant advantages over available options by demonstrating safety or efficacy improvements, preventing serious conditions, or enhancing patient compliance. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act date, the FDA action date for their regulatory decision, is during the first quarter of 2022.
Despite recent advances in severe asthma, many patients may not qualify for or respond well to current biologic medicines. Patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma experience frequent exacerbations, significant limitations on lung function and a reduced quality of life.
Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, said: "This decision brings us a step closer to delivering a much-needed, first-in-class medicine for asthma patients, many of whom remain uncontrolled and at risk of asthma attacks despite the availability of inhaled and biologic medicines. Tezepelumab has demonstrated reductions in exacerbations irrespective of blood eosinophil counts, allergy status and fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and has the potential to transform treatment for a broad population of severe asthma patients."
The BLA was based on results from the PATHFINDER clinical trials programme, including results from the pivotal NAVIGATOR Phase III trial. In NAVIGATOR, tezepelumab demonstrated superiority across every primary and key secondary endpoint, compared to placebo, in a broad population of patients with uncontrolled asthma while receiving treatment with medium- or high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medicine with or without oral corticosteroids (OCS).
There were no clinically meaningful differences in safety results between the tezepelumab and placebo groups in the NAVIGATOR trial. The most frequently reported adverse events with tezepelumab were nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection and headache.
Results from the NAVIGATOR Phase III trial were published in The New England Journal of Medicine in May 2021.
Tezepelumab received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for patients with severe asthma, without an eosinophilic phenotype in September 2018.

Spring 2017 Talks : Liz Glynn
About the Talk Location Photo Gallery About the Artist
Feb 27, 2017 at 6:30pm
The New School
Liz Glynn's sculptural practice engages with issues of social ritual, class, and the dynamics between public and private space. Her work often features participatory performances employing historical narratives and modern materials to recreate and reinterpret objects and bygone environments that she has researched extensively. Within her practice, transformations serve to disrupt dominant historical tropes and invite audiences to question narratives framed around objects.
Glynn's talk at The New School accompanies Public Art Fund's upcoming exhibition Open House, the artist's first large-scale public commission that draws inspiration from one of the grandest Fifth Avenue interior spaces designed by famed Gilded Age architect Stanford White: the now-demolished William C. Whitney Ballroom. Located at the southeast entrance to Central Park, Open House stands just eight blocks from the original mansion and transforms Doris C. Freedman Plaza into a ballroom, featuring cast concrete sculptural interpretations of the interior's opulent furniture. Sofas, chairs, footstools, and arches will adorn the 3,500-square-foot plaza, where the public will be invited to enjoy the artist's contemporary re-imagination of a historically exclusive space as one that is accessible to all.
Open House will be on view March 1 – October 2017 in Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Central Park.
The New School, 12th Street Auditorium
Liz Glynn (b. 1981, Boston, MA) lives and works in Los Angeles, and recent solo shows and performances include The Myth of Singularity, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2015); PATHOS (The Blind Exercises), Paula Cooper Gallery, New York (2015); Liz Glynn: Ransom Room, SculptureCenter, New York (2014); Black Box, as part of the J. Paul Getty Museum's Pacific Standard Time Performance Art and Public Art Festival, Los Angeles (2012); Loving You is Like _ _ _ _ _ the Dead, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2011) and The 24 Hour Roman Reconstruction Project, Arthouse at the Jones Center, Austin (2009). She has also been featured in group shows at the Barbican Art Gallery, London (2015); the Hammer Museum (2012); and the New Museum (2009). Glynn is the recipient of several awards, including a Creative Capital Foundation fellowship (2016), and the Center for Cultural Innovation's Investing in Artists Grant (2012). Glynn received a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University and a MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.
Public Art Fund Talks at The New School are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
This program is made possible in part by Con Edison and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, as well as by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Soldier Systems Market Research Report 2020
The global market for soldier systems is getting traction from the defense sector and is slated for a substantial rise during the forecast period covering 2018 to 2023. Market Research Future (MRFR) discussed several factors and dynamics that may have a crucial impact on market growth.
Factors like the growing expenditure in the defense sector to boost the security system, hike in demand to reduce the fatality count during the war, boosting the situational awareness of soldiers to make their efforts effective, better assessment of situations including terrorist attacks and others are expected to boost the global market.
But the difficulties in procurement instruments may hinder the soldier systems market growth.
The global market for soldier systems has been segmented by the expert analysts of MRFR on the basis of type and end user. These segments have inputs and insights that can simplify the strategy-making process. These insights have been backed by various factors and their studies with figures and charts to make the claims more reliable.
By type, the global market report on the soldier systems has been segmented on the basis of protection systems, communication systems, surveillance & target acquisition systems, navigation & health monitoring systems, vision systems, power & data transmission systems, and others. The communication systems segment leads to the global market.
By end user, the study on the soldier systems market has been segmented on the basis of national defenses and public security. The national defense segment is leading the global market.
North America has the opportunity to lead the global market as the region has some of the biggest defense market spenders like the US and Canada. Most of the companies are also from the US, owing to which the market has strong growth pockets. On the other hand, these companies are also some of the biggest suppliers of technologies. Hike in investment for innovations is also expected to boost the market.
The global market for soldier systems is benefiting from the advancements of companies like Elbit Systems Ltd. (Israel), Aselsan AS (Turkey), BAE Systems plc (UK)Leonardo S.p.A (Italy), General Dynamics Corporation (US), Harris Corporation (US), Thales SA (France), Rheinmetall AG (Germany), Saab AB (Sweden), and United Technologies Corporation (US). These companies are contributing to the growth of the global market by spurring the demand for advanced technologies, increasing investment in the research and development sector, better merger and acquisition deals, joint ventures, innovations, launching of new products, and others. The competition to edge out each other on the basis of these strategies is benefiting the global market. MRFR, in an attempt to reach closer to the market, records the latest moves initiated by these companies and, in the process, simplified the decision-making process.
Industry News:
In May 2020, FLIR started supplying its Black Hornet 3 to the US Army. FLIR Systems, Inc. announced that it received an additional $20.6 million contract from the U.S. Army that has its focus on FLIR Black Hornet® 3 Personal Reconnaissance Systems (PRS). The technology can be described as the advanced nano-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can support platoon- and small unit level surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. These are part of the Army's Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS) program.
The original contract was signed in January 2019, where the signing amount was USD 39.7 million. The company has recently started delivering all the systems to the US Army spread across the country.

Rona Nishliu (born 25 August 1986) is a Kosovo-Albanian singer and songwriter. She came to international prominence after representing Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, where she placed fifth and achieved the best placement for Albania to date.

Early life and career

2004–2012: Early life and beginnings
Rona Nishliu was raised in her birth town Mitrovica, but moved with her family to Pristina at the age of thirteen due to the political situation in her hometown. In 2004 she entered "Ethet e së premtës mbrëma" (Friday night's fevers), a similar show to Idols. She successfully passed the first rounds and entered the live shows, where she finished Top 5. After the show, she worked on Radio Blue Sky in Prishtina as a presenter.

In 2004, Rona teamed up with Vesa Luma and Teuta Kurti to enter the 43rd edition of Festivali i Këngës, for a chance to represent Albania in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest with "Flakareshë". The trio were qualified for the final night held on 18 December 2004 but lost to Ledina Çelo who was declared the winner.

2012: Eurovision Song Contest
Nishliu represented Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan after winning the national selection on 29 December 2011 with the entry "Suus". She is the first singer from Kosovo to represent Albania in the contest. Because of the Qafa e Vishës bus tragedy, RTSH deferred the first semi-final by more than two hours on 22 May, resulting in low ratings during Nishliu's appearance. Albania used its jury votes to vote for the other 17 countries in the semi-final, and it used the jury votes again on 26 May. RTK also did not air highlights from the first semi-final due to the bus crash.
She ended up winning fifth place in the final with 146 points; Albania's best result to date. She received Albanian citizenship on 12 January 2012.

2013–present
Nishliu was committed to her humanitarian work immediately after Eurovision. She became a member of a project called "Bonu cool, mos bjer shpullë" (Be cool, don't slap!), a project that raises gender awareness. She released a song especially for this occasion called "Se vetëm zemra flet saktë" (Because only the heart speaks right) which speaks against adolescent gender violence, produced and penned by Rona herself. The song is part of a wide public awareness campaign led by the Kosovo Gender Studies Centre. It was supported and financed by the European Union.

On 18 September 2014, Rona Nishliu held a concert in Belgrade, Serbia to promote the Kosovar culture, part of the "Mirëdita, dobar dan" festival. She received a standing ovation from the public.

In 2017, she became a coach on the sixth series of The Voice of Albania.

Public image
In Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia, she is known as a pop singer/musician. The audience in Pristina and Tirana know her also as an experimental jazz singer. Her interpretation is characterized with nuances of soul music influences as well. Her vocal range and interpretative power are her strongest points.

Philanthropy
Nishliu is depicted for her humanitarian spirit, taking part in numerous humanitarian concerts for the people in the need. While being a student, she organised few Humanitarian Concerts, including the one entitled to help displaced Kosovo Albanian families of Mitrovica living in poverty. In 2009 she took place as a guest lecturer in UNDP Kosovo's activity on Awareness Raising on the Importance of Volunteerism for the Youngsters in Vushtrri. She is an activist of the National Association of Autism in Kosovo, she is also a Chairperson of the Institute for Sustainability and Development of Youth in Kosovo.

Banff National park, and the Canadian rockies is the most beautiful place I have ever been so lucky to lay my eyes on. The endless mountains and towering trees really do make you stop in your tracks and try to take it all in.
1) Eat waffles for breakfast whilst watching the snow gently tumble from the sky.
2) Wander through the back ends of town and meet the Locals, (deer, foxes and squirrels) They are all so friendly and welcoming!
3) Hike to the top of Tunnel mountain for some truly stunning views!
4) Rush home after realizing you cant feel your fingers or toes and enjoy a warm fire and toasty hot chocolate.
It is completely safe to say, I am more than excited to get stuck into more that Banff has to offer tomorrow.
