Highlights of Malaysia's budget 2017
Written by Staff Writer
Category: Talent Management
Prime Minister Najib Razak tabled Malaysia's Budget 2017 in Parliament on Friday, 21 October 2016,
He based the budget on five principles of the government: national integration; sovereignty, upholding the Constitution and laws as well as national security; cohesiveness and stability; diligence through systematic planning and implementation; and, national ideology, the Rukun Negara.
Allocation of expenditure
Allocates a sum of RM260.8 billion, an increase of 3.4% from the 2016 Budget Recalibration.
Of this amount, RM214.8 billion is allocated for operating expenditure, while RM46 billion for development expenditure. This does not include contingencies of RM2 billion.
Under development expenditure: economic sector will receive RM25.9 billion; social sector RM12.2 billion; security sector RM5.3 billion; general administration more than RM2.5 billion.
Expected fiscal deficit target of 3% of GDP in 2017, compared with 3.1% this year.
"The definition of prudent spending by the Government is similar to a sensible father or head of family manages his finances to meet household needs. In other words, if previously we could afford expensive toys, however, in the present situation we could continue to do so but within our means," said PM Razak.
Strategic measures undertaken since 2010
Diversifying the Government's sources of revenue, particularly to reduce the dependency on oil and gas sector related revenue from 41.3% in 2009 to 14.6% in 2016
Implement GST, given there are 2.1 million income tax payers out of the 14.6 million workforce.
Subsidy rationalisation. Bulk subsidy system replaced with targeted subsidy system.
He called out concerns about the nation's econony: "...the Government is aware of the rumours on the so called deteriorating investors' confidence on the Malaysian economy."
He added: "But, if our own people, undermine and sabotage our economy, we are bringing down our own nation. Therefore, accusations by irresponsible internal and external parties must be stopped!"
Considerations for civil servants
Extend the fully paid study leave with scholarship to the support group, that is currently limited to management and professional group.
Grant quarantine leave up to five days without record to public servants whose children are ill and required to be quarantined.
Computer loan facility to encompass the purchase of smartphone. Can be utilised once every three years with a maximum loan of RM5,000.
Increase the motorcycle loan limit from RM5,000 to RM10,000.
Increase the housing loans eligibility from between RM120,000 and RM600,000 to between RM200,000 and RM750,000.
Extend the contract of service and contract for service officers, expiring end of this year, for at least one year.
To address the issues of specialist doctors leaving the public service and delays in promotion, introduce a grade 56 between grade 54 and JUSA C for medical and dental specialists.
To appoint the first group of doctors, dentists and pharmacists on contract latest by December 2016 due to constraints in permanent posts, benefiting nearly 2,600 doctors.
Measures for the working class
Said PM Razak: "This budget is not intended to benefit any particular group. However, it is engineered to be inclusive for the well-being of the rakyat."
"...there are three main categories of rakyat in our country, namely T20, M40 and B40. For the M40 group, the household income ranges between RM3,900 and RM8,300. This M40 group includes singles as well as most working married couples, highly educated and skilled," he said.
For the M40 group, he said although the demographic doesn't face difficulty meeting its basic needs, the Government intends to increase their disposable income.
"This includes aspects such as job security, increase in income from time to time, housing, safety, education, health as well as balanced lifestyle among work, recreational and quality time with their families," he explained.
Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) of youths: One-off increase of the existing RM500 incentive to RM1,000 to PRS contributors with a minimum accumulated investment of RM1,000 during the period of two years.
To encourage repayments of PTPTN loans, 15% discount on the outstanding debt for full settlement; 10% discount for payment of at least 50% of the outstanding debt made in a single payment; 10% discount for repayment through salary deduction or direct debit in accordance with the repayment schedule.
Financial assistance to poor families, including General Assistance up to RM300 per month and Children Assistance up to RM450 per month will be continued, benefitting 69,000 families.
Allocation of RM424 million to senior citizens, including RM300 monthly as living allowance and pocket money programme. In addition, eight Senior Citizen Activity Centres will be established.
RM535 million is provided to the persons with disabilities (PWDs), including employee allowance, disabled children training allowance and assistance for PWDs who are unable to work.

We believe Jiujitsu is something that is organically learnt and cultivated within the self. Being a defensive martial art, there are always new methods and techniques one can learn and invent. And that reflects in our motto as well - "Express who you are"
We at IJJ come from all walks of life, and whoever we are, we bond together as a team, as a brotherhood (or sisterhood, as the case may be). And we are absolutely open to having you with us, whoever you are, whatever your allegiance, for this is what helps us grow even stronger.
Simple, just come attend a free starter class and have a feel of what we do, why we do it, and how you can be a part of it. This is more than just learning a new skill. The friendship, the brotherhood, the love; these are some of the things that we realised we were developing as well.
"It's so difficult to describe what we learn at IJJ in words. Because they're just words. And what we perceive cannot be expressed, it's unspeakable. And yet, you know, when we communicate with one another and we feel that we have connected - and we think we're understood, I think we have a feeling which is not transient, but I think it's we will live with it forever.
It would be great if you could drop by and see what you missed to far. It's never to late join us and experience yourself and feel the difference."

Research Parks: Rethinking the Role Of the Research Park: An Abbott Laboratories unit executive sees a cross-border, more collaborative role for its next generation of R&D sites. Applying regional insights globally is the goal.
An Abbott Laboratories unit executive sees a cross-border, more collaborative role for its next generation of R&D sites. Applying regional insights globally is the goal.
bbott Laboratories added to its Singapore and Southeast Asia property portfolio on May 5 with the opening of its Abbott Asia-Pacific Nutrition Research & Development Center at Singapore's Biopolis Research Park. The center is Abbott's largest nutrition R&D facility outside of the U.S. and Singapore's first nutrition R&D site creating science-based nutritional products for infants, children and adults. Abbott scientists at the center will develop products with new ingredients, flavors and packaging to address critical nutritional challenges, dietary needs and taste preferences of consumers throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
The Biopolis Research Park site is Abbott's fifth expansion in the region in less than 18 months and its third Singapore facility. But the site was not a shoo-in. "We looked throughout the region – at China, Australia and India. The decision was about infrastructure and the quality of the research park and knowing that my staff there would have access to mixed-use space and a mixture of small and large companies," noted Robert H. Miller, Ph.D., divisional vice president, global research and development and scientific affairs, at Abbott Nutrition. Miller spoke on the topic "Fostering Innovation in a Research Park Setting" at the Association of University Research Parks' BioParks 2010 conference in Chicago on May 1. Economic incentives played a role, too, says Miller, and "Singapore really understood that." Abbott Nutrition has a history of working with the Singapore government, having built a US$300-million plant there, the Abbott division's largest in the world.
The global health care company also operates a pharmaceutical R&D lab in Shanghai, China, and a nutrition manufacturing center in Guangzhou, both of which opened in March 2009. Abbott employs more than 12,000 people in the Asia-Pacific region. The Abbott Asia-Pacific Nutrition R&D Center will house approximately 65 scientists in Singapore. Up to 90 percent of the hires at the center will come from Singapore and the broader region. Abbott Nutrition also recently opened an R&D center at the Research Park at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in Champaign, Ill., which is home to more than 70 companies, from technology startups to Fortune 500 players.
These new centers represent a shift in how Abbott Nutrition sites R&D centers, according to Miller. "Our old model was about being an international company, with sites all across the globe, both manufacturing and R&D. But we weren't thinking about it in a global perspective. So in the old model, everywhere we had a manufacturing plant we had an R&D center, and they coincided in our own facilities," as in Columbus, Ohio, and Granada, Spain.
"The new model, which was instigated in the last couple of years by our CEO, Miles White, is about how to think about this differently. It's about research parks and their knowledge spillover. When we started looking at how research parks could accelerate our innovation, it matched very well with our long-range plans at Abbott, one of which is taking regional insights and creating global impacts." By knowledge spillover, Miller means the capacity to incorporate an entrepreneurial spirit into the science of R&D. "I call it 'intrapreneurial,'" says Miller. "I want people in my organization to understand what being entrepreneurial means, but I want it 'intra' to the organization and to keep stimulating that."
Specifically, Abbott Nutrition defines the new model as strategically planned, mixed-use campus expansions with space for academic, government and industrial use. Besides being an innovative environment, this space should include room for future research growth, planned multi-tenant facilities, housing and other amenities and flexible development options.
In 2007, 3 percent of Abbott Nutrition's R&D budget was outside the company's primary operations in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, where Miller is based. By 2014, he says, 30 percent of the R&D budget will be associated with research park operations. "We're seeing the dynamic of our organization [evolve], and we need to think about that differently." Other drivers of Abbott Nutrition's R&D location strategy are the need to access talent where it exists in the world and the need to conduct research in environments conducive to what Miller calls 'open innovation'. The Singapore and University of Illinois R&D centers deliver, he contends.
"In January 2009, we did not have any one [R&D-dedicated] center outside the United States, and the University of Illinois opening was only in October," notes Miller. So when it came time to implement the global R&D site strategy involving research parks, Abbott Nutrition did so expeditiously. The Singapore site will employ about 75 within the next year and will complement the Singapore manufacturing operation. In Illinois, Abbott Nutrition has collaborated with the University of Illinois for about two decades already, and part of the university's mission involves its research park, so that location is a particularly good fit, says Miller. "The goal here," says Miller, "is to have UIUC and Singapore begin to show us the way to do this new innovation." As of early May, Abbott employed 11 at the UIUC Research Park, including seven researchers, in about 4,000 sq. ft. (372 sq. m.) of space. Miller says an Abbott R&D operation in Worcester, Mass., has already expressed interest in emulating some of the UIUC operation.
At Singapore's Biopolis Research Park, Abbott Nutrition is sharing lab space with Abbott's Global Pharmaceutical R&D operation. This arrangement creates some capital allocation issues, but more importantly, it creates opportunities to share "Abbott science" across organizational divisions, says Miller. On a larger scale, Abbott Nutrition is beginning to collaborate with such academic institutions as the National University of Singapore, the Liggins Institute at the University of Auckland, New Zealand; and Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A-STAR) on the effect of environment and nutrition on epigenetics – the study of inherited changes in genes. Similar work is under way by researchers at the University of Granada (near another Abbott R&D center) and the University of Southampton which could well tie in to the Asia-Pacific research efforts. Suppliers and startups familiar with this work will likely play a role, too, in due course. Abbott's Biopolis footprint is about 30,000 sq. ft. (2,787 sq. m.) with room to expand in the future. Miller says he is highly confident that similar cross-border R&D initiatives will take root at the UIUC center.
The epigenetics research experience illustrates the opportunities available to those open to multi-divisional and multi-college research. Limiting an organization's R&D prospects to work one part of the organization's research function can execute at one higher-ed outlet may result in limited benefits, Miller suggests.
"My view of research for large companies, speaking for Abbott Nutrition, is how do we be in the mix as opposed to being isolated and picking up the phone to collaborate? When you're in the mix — that's when you can start taking these regional insights and drive them globally." Today's generation of research parks are about much more than land linked to a university. They make possible real innovation and invention, and increasingly they can do so internationally, not just locally, if the park and the R&D operation require it.


The streets and corridors at the City Centre campus fill up with lunch karaoke, cake, glitter, a pop-up spex, street sitsit, overall badges and the stands of (almost) all student organisation.
The Opening Carnival is held on Monday 5 September from 2 pm to 6 pm, in the Main Building, in Porthania and on the streets near the buildings!
2 pm–6 pm: Explore organisations at their stands in the Main Building, in Porthania and in the surrounding area – check out the map of the area!
2 pm–6 pm: HYY's stand in front of Porthania; glittered HYY tattoos and overall badges on offer every hour!

Cricketers must demonstrate their commitment
By George Whyte Posted on April 21, 2011
Whether the younger cricketers are selected to play or not there is a low level of commitment to West Indies cricket overall and some action had to be taken to try to retain some form of respect for the sport thorough commitment from players.
Dwayne Bravo, Christopher Gayle, and Kieron Pollard have their interests in other entities and it is not quite certain if their future would be closely attached playing cricket for the West Indies. How could Bravo miss out on two vital test matches coming up against Pakistan especially when these matches are going to be played on Caribbean soil?
Kieron Pollard is playing in the IPL and the West Indies are preparing to play a major series against Pakistan. Gayle and Bravo missed out on the regional Twenty20 this year because they were both playing cricket in Australia.
How possibly can a rebuilding and struggling squad progress with all these absentism of some key players? Ramneresh Sarwan definitely should have been in the one-day squad and should be named in the test squad as well. Shivnarine Chanderpaul should focus on test matches only and he must be let off Twenty20 and one-day internationals.
Test Squad Will Be Difficult To Choose
West Indies selectors must be very careful in choosing the squad for the upcoming test series with Pakistan. Chanderpaul, Sarwan and Jerome Taylor must be included for the test matches.
The selectors must ensure that experience is not compromised at this test level. It is necessary to bring back the experienced Taylor, a fast bowler from Jamaica, who has served West Indies cricket very well. It must be remembered that he has a test century. He is off the injury list and Clyde Butts and company should ensure that he returns.
Kemar Roach has suffered for too long without a genuine back up experienced quickie. Two accurate quick bowlers are vital in any test match in spite of the conditions.
The West Indies selectors must be ready to have seven specialist batsmen and four specialist bowlers, the time for make shift bowlers is over. Four bowlers must take the responsibility of picking up 20 wickets in a match as a winning task.
Batting Consultant
Former West Indies opening batsman Desmond Haynes was appointed a batting consultant of the West Indies senior team for the Digicel home series 2011. Haynes has played 116 tests scoring 7,487 runs at an average of 42.29 and he scored 18 centuries. He played 238 one-day internationals scoring 8,648 runs at an average of 42.37 and he scored 17 centuries.

Miles to go, means many things. As I write this, I'm watching the full moon whitewash my staircase. While outside the window, the clear, repetitive notes of a killdeer, competes with my noisy night-owl neighbors. Their voices are finally beginning to fade, replaced by the more welcome notes of muffled ocean waves. I think that bird is going to win.
For the second night now the moon has drawn me from my bed, gleaming like a mother-of-pearl inlay, high in the platinum-blue southern sky.
Sitting in the half-dark, my thoughts come down to earthly cares, to trips and paintings to be done. I'll be returning to the mountains and then on to Maine and I am excited about an excellent gallery that will soon be representing my artwork in one of my favorite southern towns. More on that soon.
The egg tempera painting above, Miles to Go, was inspired by a scene near Linville, North Carolina. Its currently on exhibit at Hughes Gallery for a few more weeks.
On my last day in the mountains, intending to get an early start back home, I spent most of the day painting. Finally beginning the journey south, weary as I crested a hill, refrains from the ghost of Robert Frost reminded me I still have miles to go.
Home, in the half dark, the quiet poetry of a southern spring night guides my soul.

Q: variable scope issue in jQuery post method I am trying to get some information from Database and make a chart with them. Unfortunately, the variables I use to store that values are losing their data outside of POST. completed and ongoing are assigned inside their POST methods, also each other's post methods, but not outside of it. When data2 executes, the variables become empty again. How can I fix this issue?
var completed;
var ongoing;

$.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=1&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        completed = data;
    }
);

$.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=2&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        ongoing = data;
    }
);

var data2 = [
    {
         value: completed,
         color: "#46BFBD",
         highlight: "#5AD3D1",
         label: "Completed"
    },

         color: "#FDB45C",
         highlight: "#FFC870",
         label: "Ongoing"
    }
]

A: This is due to the AJAX requests being asynchronous, not due to variable scope. For a full explanation of the issue, see the answers in this question. To solve the problem in your specific case, you can use the $.when calback to create your data2 object after both AJAX calls have completed. Try this:
var completed;
var ongoing;
var requests = [];

requests.push($.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=1&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        completed = data;
    }
));

requests.push($.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=2&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        ongoing = data;
    }
));

$.when.apply(this, requests).done(function() {
    var data2 = [{
         value: completed,
         color: "#46BFBD",
         highlight: "#5AD3D1",
         label: "Completed"
    },
    {
         value: ongoing,
         color: "#FDB45C",
         highlight: "#FFC870",
         label: "Ongoing"
    }];

    // add further logic which relies on data2 here...
});

Note that this approach is quicker than nesting AJAX calls as they will run in parallel, rather than in a chain. Therefore the user will only be waiting as long as the slowest request.

A: $.post() is an AJAX call and it is supposed to be asynchronous so your POST calls did not have any effect on the array creation line because that was executed before AJAX were complete.
var data2 = [];

$.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=1&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        data2[0] = {
            value: completed,
            color: "#46BFBD",
            highlight: "#5AD3D1",
            label: "Completed"
        }
    }
);

$.post(
    "/api/EducationCompletionRates?status=2&startDate=20150701&endDate=20150705",
    { data: {} },
    function (data) {
        data2[1] = {
            value: 700, //ongoing,
            color: "#FDB45C",
            highlight: "#FFC870",
            label: "Ongoing"
        }
    }
);

Or you can do only one ajax call because the second one cause the same output all the time.

A: this fix the problem:
before the ajax define your data2 as array
inside the first function do
function (data) {
    data2.push({
         value: data,
         color: "#46BFBD",
         highlight: "#5AD3D1",
         label: "Completed"
    });
}

and this for the second
function (data) {
    data2.push({
         value: data,
         color: "#FDB45C",
         highlight: "#FFC870",
         label: "Ongoing"
    });
}

Comprised of 69 wells, the Groundwater System provides drinking water to fewer than 100,000 people in New York City. Residents within the system receive groundwater or a mix of ground and surface waters depending on demand and supply availability. In 2006, the Groundwater System (PWSID NY7011735) supplied an average of 1.3 million gallons per day (mgd) of drinking water from 1 well, less than 1% of the City's total usage.
Located in southeastern Queens, the Groundwater System covers an area of approximately 5.5 square miles. The neighborhoods connected to the Groundwater System include: Cambria Heights, Hollis, Holliswood, Jamaica, Kew Gardens, Queens Village, Richmond Hill, St. Albans, South Jamaica, and South Ozone Park.
* - Wells are each assigned a number for easy reference. These numbers may be followed by the letters A, B, C, or D. These letters indicated multiple wells housed at the same location. For example W6, W6A, W6B, W6C, and W6D are all distinct wells at the same address.
An aquifer is a natural underground layer of porous, water-bearing materials (sand, gravel) usually capable of yielding a large supply of water. Three aquifers run the length of Long Island, which includes Brooklyn and Queens Counties: the Upper Glacial, which is the shallowest; the Magothy, which is the middle layer; and the Lloyd, which is the deepest. Formed approximately 60 million years ago, the three aquifers are separated by layers of clay.
All groundwater entering New York City's distribution system is treated with chlorine, fluoride, food grade phosphoric acid, and, in some cases, sodium hydroxide. New York City uses chlorine to meet the New York State Sanitary Code and federal Safe Drinking Water Act disinfection requirements. Fluoride, at a concentration of one part per million, is added to help prevent tooth decay and has been added since 1966 in accordance with the New York City Health Code. Phosphoric acid is added to create a protective film on pipes that reduces the release of metals such as lead and copper from household plumbing. Additionally, a sequestering phosphate is applied at several wells to prevent the precipitation of naturally occurring minerals, mostly iron and manganese, in the distribution mains and customers' household piping. Air stripper facilities also operate at several wells to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Well 5 of the Groundwater System was online in 2006 and was operated remotely via telemetering from Station 6, which is the headquarters for Groundwater Operations, located in Jamaica, Queens. This well was started and stopped on a daily basis depending upon distribution demands. In general, the well was started everyday between 5AM and 6 AM (as people start to wake up) and shut down when the system demand was met. Well 5 was then restarted around 3 PM as system demand increased and shutdown again later in the evening, when system demand decreased. The other 68 wells which comprise the Groundwater System were not used for drinking water distribution in 2006. These wells are either mechanically inactive, for emergency use only, or have poor water quality. This information is available on the Service Status Table.
Well 5: Originally put into service in 1924, Well 5 was designed at a flow rate of 1200 gallons per minute (gpm). Water is pumped from the wellhead, or water source, through a water treatment plant in order to remove any VOCs from the water before it is discharged into the distribution system. Well 5 remained in service for the entire 2006 calendar year.
GAC – granular activated carbon, a form of particulate carbon manufactured with increased surface area per unit mass to enhance the adsorption of soluble contaminants.
mgd – million gallons per day.
MTBE - Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether, formerly an additive to gasoline.
VOCs – volatile organic compounds, a class of organic compounds that includes volatile liquids.

Hardly anyone, it appears, stops to think that 'sustainable growth' is an oxymoron. Combine constant economic growth with a constantly growing human population, place them on a finite world with finite resources, and you have a recipe for unsustainability.

The Ajman Tourism Development Department (ATDD) released the emirate's latest tourism statistics for the third quarter which shows a significant increase of 47% in total revenue when compared to the same period in 2014.
According to ATDD, total tourism revenue for the months of July, August and September 2015 has reached AED80.05 million, a big jump from last year's AED54.6 million. This can be attributed to the increase in occupancy rate, average room rate and additional inventory of rooms and units in Ajman.
There was a slight decrease in the number of visitors to Ajman,but the number of guest nights grew by 49%, from 201,596 in 2014 to 300,948 in 2015. Local residents and other visitors from GCC and other Arab countries still make up the bulk of the guests to the emirate followed by Asians and Africans, Europeans, Russians and Americans. However, Asians and Africans have the highest room nights during their stay followed by local, GCC and other Arab guests.
The department also shared the status of the 2016 marketing plan to representatives of hotels, tour operators and travel agencies who attended the meeting. The detailed plan highlighted the new brand positioning statement of the emirate, the target markets and the different programs that will be carried out across the emirate starting next year to reach the target of five million visitors annually by 2021.
Ms. Habiba Al Marashi, Co-Founder and Treasurer of Emirates Green Building Council (EGBC),also made a presentation on how the UAE can be a global leader in having a sustainable environment. She said the hotels play a major part in this awareness campaign by ensuring that they practice the most effective ways of consuming energy and resources. She encourages them to engage the hotel staff in these energy saving practices and share the same with the guests.
Other important activities such as upcoming sporting events at the recently opened Al Zorah Golf Course were also discussed as a unique opportunity to promote Ajman as a golfing destination.
Al Nuaimi highlighted the needed support from the industry stakeholders to position the emirate on the world tourism stage.

Rio Grande Valley culture inspires legacy alum's first novel

By Priscilla Ramirez
RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS – Experts say to write about what you know. So Rubén Degollado has done just that.
Degollado, an alumnus of UTRGV legacy institution UT Pan American, released his first book,
Throw, a novel, in February 2019. It's the Rio Grande Valley-inspired story of Güero, a teenage boy dealing with love, loss and trying to belong.
An educator since 1994 in Texas, Florida and Oregon, Degollado also drew inspiration from another teenage novel – S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" – and his own students, who felt there were not enough book characters with whom they could identify.
"Year after year, my students loved 'The Outsiders.' But I wanted something that had the Valley, along with the same tough characters," he said. "My students would tell me, 'Maestro, we want something with us in it.'"
Finding the right book for his students proved elusive, almost impossible, he said.
"I knew it was going to be something I needed to write by myself," he said.
Degollado, currently director of the Center for Excellence in School Turnaround at Region One Education Service Center in Edinburg, said he taught his students through reading and wanted to share the way he felt about the Valley in a story format.
After graduating from UTPA with a Bachelor of Arts in English, Degollado went to Lewis & Clark College in Oregon to pursue a master's degree in educational administration. He said the uniqueness of the Valley gave him the confidence to pursue a graduate degree, and to encourage those he taught.
"I went out into the world sure of who I was," he said. "I knew my culture and my language. I brought that into my work and built a bridge between the students I taught."
He credits finding his voice and his love for writing to UTPA and his undergraduate studies.
Degollado was on a different career path when he got the writing bug, inspired by encouragement from his professors, including Dr. Don Newman, a faculty member in the English Department at UTPA at the time. They said he had potential, and inspiration followed.
"That was the first time someone saw something in me that I didn't see in myself," he said.
Degollado also credits Dr. Robert Johnson, a current professor in the UTRGV Department of Literatures and Cultural Studies, for guiding him to improve his writing through mentorship.
He said the Department of Writing and Language Studies helped him hone his writing skills and debut his first piece ever in the university student publication, Gallery: A Literary & Arts Magazine at UTRGV.
"Once I saw my work in Gallery and my name in print, it gave me courage to submit my work to other publications," Degollado said.
He went on to contact small magazine publishers, and his work ran in several literary magazines across Texas.
When working on his draft of "Throw, a novel," Degollado said his mindset was similar to the advice he would give to his students: Treat the writing process as a job.
"When you not only have a vision and passion for something, but the work ethic and drive, you can accomplish just about anything," he said. "Believe in your work. Don't find value in how many copies you sell or how many events you get invited to. The work itself is what's important."
Degollado said the best part of being an author is all the people he gets to meet when he participates in book festivals across the state. He has been traveling across Texas for close to a year to attend literacy conferences, including the Texas Book Festival, to share his novel, and most recently served as a panelist at the South Texas Book Festival in McAllen. In January, he will take part in the Corpus Christi Teen Book Fest by the Bay, again as a panelist.
"I've met readers who taught me that our work can often affect people in ways we hadn't thought possible. It is a huge responsibility we authors have," he said. "It is a privilege and a blessing to be able to do this."
ABOUT UTRGV
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) was created by the Texas Legislature in 2013 as the first major public university of the 21st century in Texas. This transformative initiative provided the opportunity to expand educational opportunities in the Rio Grande Valley, including a new School of Medicine, and made it possible for residents of the region to benefit from the Permanent University Fund – a public endowment contributing support to the University of Texas System and other institutions.
UTRGV has campuses and off-campus research and teaching sites throughout the Rio Grande Valley including in Boca Chica Beach, Brownsville (formerly The University of Texas at Brownsville campus), Edinburg (formerly The University of Texas-Pan American campus), Harlingen, McAllen, Port Isabel, Rio Grande City, and South Padre Island. UTRGV, a comprehensive academic institution, enrolled its first class in the fall of 2015, and the School of Medicine welcomed its first class in the summer of 2016.

text: Q: GeoFire: Write location and data atomically? Using GeoFire with Firebase, I can only create the geodata with setLocation. As is recommend with GeoFire, the actual data entry being referenced goes elsewhere in the database. So when creating a new entry I need to use GeoFire to write the geodata under one reference, and an ordinary setValue for rest of the data on another reference. Is there any way to write to both of these locations atomically? Both transactions and multi-location updates seem inadequate because of the way GeoFire writes the geodata internally.

Its summer for the northern hemisphere. Levittown residents know this means the pools are open! You've got your towel, flip flops, goggles, water bottle, but forgot your sunscreen. DON'T WORRY! Town Of Hempstead Health Department cares about keeping you well. Something new at the pool is FREE SUNSCREEN!
Something not new is BAD POSTURE. Take a look at the background action. What do you see?
You might not notice at first glance, but these people are off balance. They're leaning so far in one direction that their body has to compensate in various places just to hold them upright. Do you know what that means for their health (and yours) down the line?
Look again. What do you see? They're all standing with their hands on their hips. Familiar? Have you found yourself standing for a period of time and either crossed your arms over your chest or propped yourself up on your hips? If you're like most people, you've done it without even thinking of it. Your body does it on its own, its called compensation.
The postures in this photo are of people displaying rounded upper back and shoulders, and excessive lower back curvature, to name just a few deviations. Even the lifeguard falls into this category, and he is living an active lifestyle.
Does that sound typical? How about normal? How about something is wrong here, and we are missing a huge component to our overall health!
Just like the postures above, this building is off balance. Its falling down. But it doesn't have any cool compensatory responses to keep itself upright on its own. Instead it is getting propped up to stop the decline, at least for a little while. Notice anything familiar?
This is exactly what the people in the top photo are doing for themselves. Their muscles aren't working to keep them in accordance with their original design. Some are 'asleep' while others are OVER WORKING, and the body is falling down. It supplies the props just like the steel supports on the building, but it uses your arms instead.
But we are different than the building. We can adapt, heal, twist, run, jump, crawl, climb, push, pull you name it. You see most of us lack QUALITY motion in our daily lives. You are probably saying, 'I workout every day'. But so is the lifeguard, and so is the other family beyond the frame of the photo.
Michael Phelps a tremendous athlete, displaying musculoskeletal compensations.
Most of the motion we give ourselves is repetitive motion that gets patterned into our body and stays. Even the workouts we get at the gym are focused more on encouraging EFFORT rather than QUALITY. Burn CALORIES, rather than have FUN (more on that in another post). Do what the instructor says, rather than explore all motion. We rarely take our bodies through full capable range of motion, much less strengthening it there. So it holds tight to the pattern it considers 'safe' and forgets the rest.
Gyms focus mostly on effort to burn calories, not quality movement that creates sustained health.
If you WON'T move, you CAN'T move over time, and we head past compensation into dysfunction. Sounds scary right? Its not.
Its just another adaptation that our body has in its bag of tricks to keep us as well as it can.
Thats right, compensations, dysfunctions, and adaptations are all in the plan.
Because if we couldn't adapt, we would be like that building, hopelessly stuck waiting for someone from Monster Garage to weld upright stilts onto our falling torso. The building needs to return to its blueprint design. It won't last long with those beams holding it up, and it certainly won't perform like it did before, ie. holding hundreds of people inside safely.
Your body needs to return to its design too. And it can do it more easily than you think (more on that in another post). If it does not, no amount of sunscreen will help get you to the pool when your back is out!


Spending for hours in a kitchen preparing a meal for family sometime is boredom. Since a kitchen is one of the most visited rooms in a home, why don't you make it fun and attractive? Having a great kitchen décor is not enough to make a much more fun atmosphere in your kitchen. Today, many designers have created the coolest kitchen appliances that will make your cooking time free from any boredom.
In the morning, toasting bread is the most common activity in a kitchen. You can make the way preparing your breakfast more interesting using a transparent toaster from designer Xu Yian Xiang. This toaster has a transparent look so that you can see your bread when it is toasted. Not only the transparent look, but it also imprints a range of smiley faces in the forms of white area on the bread surface. So, when you are toasting, you will automatically get the patterns printed. Another attractive toaster is portable toaster. This is gadget that you can bring anywhere you go and this has a look like a butter knife. So, you can butter your bread while making it crispy.
There are still some other coolest kitchen appliances that will make you impressed. If you like drinking ice, you can make ice cubes using bullet ice cubes. This will give you a bullet-look ice cube so that you will get a different sensation adding this to your cocktail. Even a simple thing like an oven glove can be an attractive item. Instead of using an ordinary oven glove in your kitchen, you can try using Pac Man oven gloves that will show your youth side with the bright yellow color.
You can find out more about the coolest kitchen appliances at kitchenappliancecenter.co.uk. So, make your cooking time fun and impressive with cooler appliances.

With about a quarter of all edible food getting spoiled each year during transport, insulating & protective packing can dramatically reduce damage and waste with a resulting major positive impact on the environment, especially when recycled. EPS recycling facilities are available in many parts of the continent.
EPS is about 98% air providing high insulation and strength-to-weight ratios that minimize fuel and transportation impacts. And numerous Environmental Impact Analyses reported that its impacts are lower than most comparable packaging materials.
The main objective of transport packaging is to preserve and protect a product from damage all the way to delivery to the consumer. Choosing the right packaging material requires a balance of many factors, including food-contact and moisture considerations, insulation, ease of handing and stack-ability, weight, cushioning characteristics, customer requirements, cost and more. EPS packaging offers a broad range of physical properties to meet the many challenges of protection and distribution.
Why choose EPS over pulp or cardboard?
EPS can be recycled, we do it!
Did you know that about one third of EPS gets recycled in North America – much more than most other plastics?
Drop off your clean & segregated #6 white Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam and we'll take care of the rest. Your EPS will be recycled for re-use in a variety of different applications, from construction and landscaping to packaging and picture frames.
Remove any contents, glue, paper, tape, cardboard, staples etc.

The NWI Chapter August meeting will be held at the Oregon, Illinois depot. This will be our first meeting back after summer vacations with plenty of chapter business.
First on the agenda will be the nominations of chapter officers. A nominating committee shall be formed and consist of three members. One current board member and two members at large will make up the committee. Their task will be to solicit the membership and others for candidates to serve on the NWI Board of Directors for two (2) years. Any non-member nominee will have to become an NRHS member by December. This nominating committee must be in place by September's NWI Chapter meeting date.
The nominating committee will submit their nominations to the membership at the October NWI Chapter meeting.
All contested offices will be decided by paper ballot, which will be tallied at the November NWI Chapter meeting. Ballots will be included in the November North Western Limited newsletter mailed to all NWI/NRHS members.
Next on our list of things to do, setting of the NWI Chapter meeting dates from September through May 2019.
2019 is our 50th anniversary as a chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. Despite any other feelings, 50 years as a recognized organization is quite an accomplishment. We are planning on several commemorations to mark this occasion. We need your help with this endeavor.
As in the past, I would like our chapter to make a donation to the Oregon depot fund in appreciation for the use of their depot and grounds.
All of this chapter business shall begin at the Oregon depot with our Board Meeting at 6:00pm. Our Board of Director's should take note.

Harbhajan Singh, a member of the 2011 50-over World Cup winning squad, will be spinning webs for the Manipal Group-owned Manipal Tigers. While Irfan Pathan, a former India allrounder, will be in charge of the LNJ Bhilwara Group-owned Bhilwara Kings.

"Playing alongside all of the great players over the years has taught me the nuances of the game, which has helped me become a better cricketer. As a cricketer, I did not have the opportunity to captain the team, but this is something I am very excited about. I enjoy taking the initiative and hope to live up to the trust and responsibility bestowed upon me "Harbhajan Singh stated in an official statement.
Pathan preferred to be refer to as a bowing all-rounder. His all-round abilities are well known, particularly when he name man of the match during the historic finals of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007.
"You need to enjoy what you're doing, and giving your all to that effort is all that matters. This opportunity is unique, but I'm confident we as a team will turn some heads. Keep an eye out as we close on team names for the draft," the Baroda Express said.
The upcoming Legends League Cricket (LLC) tournament will feature four teams and 16 matches. It will be played in India for the first time and will be held in six different cities. The league will begin on September 16, 2022, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, and will be followed by Lucknow, New Delhi, Cuttack, and Jodhpur. The location of the play-offs and finals has yet to be determined.
