It's something of a contradiction in terms, that two Gentlemen in Verona were not in Verona at all, but should have ventured swiftly onwards to Italy's great Lake Garda. However, the location of this mountain-locked beauty is comfortably close to Verona, and a mere 30 minute's train ride transmitted us in a frictionless trajectory to the still waters of Garda, and to the idyllic town of Sirmione, the Lake's most popular destination.
I'm no lover of tourist hot-spots, but it's easy to see why Sirmione is visited by millions and the beloved of many. With it's fairy-tale like Scaligero Castle marking the town's entrance, and a quaint little historical centre all set upon a slender little peninsular jutting out into the lake, Sirmione is veritable honeypot of Italian charm, and the perfect location for gelato, lemon-flavoured treats and an aperol spritz aplenty.
I first wanted to see Garda when we saw the utterly mesmerising scenes of young love being played out on its shores in Call Me By Your Name (2017), which I have long proclaimed to be the best film ever made. The protagonists, Oliver and Elio, are not there for long. Accompanying Elio's father to unearth the discovery of an ancient sculpture found on the bed of the lake, there is a beautiful scene when all three go for a swim amongst the grasses and reeds which give this wide expanse of water the nature of a lake rather than the sea which it otherwise resembles. As we arrived near Sirmione we saw those same lush reeds and grasses, and the presence of ducks and swans marked this out as a freshwater paradise, with a tranquility most unlike the sea.
A second signposting to Garda was the ravishing book, The Land Where Lemons Grow, in which author Helena Attlee expertly guides the reader through Italy's most historically and currently significant citrus growing spots. The atmosphere she conjured with her descriptions of lemon growth on the shores of Lake Garda had me dreaming of the lake long before I went there. Once alongside Garda, I reveled in a panoply of lemon-infused products to mark our arrival in this wonderful place, a lemon-cream filled cannolo being chief among these guilty pleasures.
Our trip to Lake Garda lived up to both film, and book. We left knowing that this one visit was a mere lemon-filled taster, and that one day we will return. For now, as we ventured back to Verona, these Two Gentlemen felt fully at home, as the city of love and style and Italian chic welcomed us back for one evening more… to drink Valpolicella amongst the people of the Piazza della Erbe, and to stroll in the marble-paved streets of the Romans that went before us.
There's nothing quite like the experience of viewing a city from above. In a single sweeping 360 degree motion, you can admire an entire landscape sweeping out before you, appreciating its scale and geography, but all seen from above. From the perspective reserved for those with wings, it's possible to feel almost superhuman (and as those with vertigo will tell you, a little sick too) as you gaze down upon a city's every day life unfolding while you, from on high, are like deity gazing down upon your subjects.
It was no surprise to us that Verona, a city so magnificent from up close, would be equally as beautiful from the top of the Torre dei Lamberti. And as the city's tallest tower at some 272 feet high, you are guaranteed a truly commanding view if you make it to the top. From there, the city's grey marble streets and yellow and auburn palazzos became dominated by a sea of terracotta roofs, all apart from the striking semi-circular form of the ancient arena, and the sweeping green like snake of the river, twisting its way around the peninsular of the city's ancient heart. Best of all were the proximate views the tower afforded of the nearby Piazza delle Erbe and the stunning statuary atop the Palazzo Maffei. Who would have known, from the Piazza down below, what incredible detail lies hidden within the folds and undulations of those wonderful depictions of ancient deity.
Seen from above, Verona shared a new perspective of its indisputable beauty, reasserting why it remains the favourite city of literature lovers and true romantics everywhere, whatever the angle of their admirable glances.
A bustling café, an aperol spritz, a hand-full of renaissance palaces and preferably a fountain or two, all set within the confines of an elegant piazza – now that, for me, is Italy. And as piazzas go, they frankly don't get much better than Verona's. Every Italian city has a piazza or five – just look at Rome, where a glamorous fountain-filled piazza breaks the monotony of straight roads at every turn. But Verona's squares are something truly special. Is it because they feel authentic – a haunt of locals as well as tourists? Is it the quality of the light, warm and golden as sun bounces off terracotta buildings and ancient marble statuary? Probably both, plus the very explicit beauty which oozes from every facet of Verona's impressive piazzas.
Chief among them is the Piazza delle Erbe. Paved with the same silky-smooth Marmo Rosso di Verona as lines many of the city's streets, and surrounded by some of the most spectacular buildings in the city – amongst them the ravishingly frescoed Case Mazzanti, and the two towers, Torre dei Lamberti and Torre del Gardello – the former sales platform of herbs and flowers retains the bustling market feel of its heritage (although sadly the stalls of today are a little touristic in nature). But for the real Veronese experience, head to one of the cafes which circle the square and enjoy every vantage point of this spectacular place. Our favourite was the Caffe Filippini where, as if fate had ordained it, we managed to seize a front-line table, just by the Fontana di Madonna Verona, every time we visited, and from there of course I had the very best spot from which to sketch, and enjoy that glistening orange aperol spritz.
But the great thing about Verona is you get two squares for the price of one. Not for the Veronese is one stunning piazza enough. For separated by a mere arch (the Arco della Costa to be exact) and a whale's bone (hanging underneath said arch), you will stroll from the Piazza delle Erbe into the equally mesmerising site of the Piazza dei Signori. As the old political centre of the city, the intimate space exudes a tangible spirit of power-play reflected off fortress-like palazzos decorated with friezes made from stone and peppered with statues of great minds and the all powerful winged lion of Venice. At the centre of it all, a statue of Dante Alighieri looms in a masterful pose which dominates the square. No wonder the best cafe there (and arguably in town) is the Caffe Dante – our lunch there, of creamy al dente pasta, a deconstructed tiramisu and a chilled glass of white wine, was proof enough for that…Just one more reason why the piazza lifestyle is the best way to enjoy time in one of Italy's most picturesque cities.
It's funny. When I think back to my first encounter with Verona, some 17 years ago in the prime of my youth, touring from one art historical Italian treasure to another, I can remember very little of the city. I remember the balcony purported to be that of Shakespeare's fictional Juliet, and the street where I purchased my first Burberry scarf. I remember the relief which blue skies and a bustling living city afforded after 10 days or so ensconced in the fog-filled fantasy land of Venice. But I remember little of the stunning streets and grand piazzas which dominated this most recent reconnaissance with Verona. But of all the highlights I remember with absolute clarity, despite the passing of the years, it is the wonder of the Giardino Giusti, arguably the best Renaissance garden in all of Italy.
Just beyond the bustling centre, housed between the Mannerist walls of the Giusti palace and the higher hilltops of the upper gardens, the Giardino Giusti is a place of almost mystical quality. With perfectly trimmed box-hedge mazes and prim parterres punctuated by moss-covered statues from the ancient realms, the Giusti gardens is at once a Lewis Carroll wonderland as it is a perfect example of the Renaissance style. A sense of perfectly manicured order provided by sweeping central paths and cypress tree-bordering is yet tempered by the pure poetry which comes of patios lined by potted cypress trees and half-hidden structures such as the rose-pink colonnaded belvedere, which affords the most unbeatable view over the labyrinth of hedges and collections of ancient statuary.
In fact it was in that same belvedere where my fondest memory of Verona was born. There, in 2001 in the autumn sunshine, my friends and I picnicked on fresh pesto and salumi, with a little wine, and some recitals to accompany the scene. Is it possible to ever beat such epiphanaic perfection? I don't think I ever have. But this visit to the Giardino Giusti was just as I remembered it – a memory in no way diluted by the joy of my return, to a paradise garden which remains, for me, the highlight of any visit to Verona.
Don't accuse me of being repetitive. It's not my fault that Italy is such a beautiful country. But if I've gone on about the beauty of Rome, of Bologna, of Sicilia, of Siena, who can blame me? Charm oozes from their every cobble and paint-flaking wall, from the tolling of cathedral bells and the trickling of their ancient fountains. And now I have another stunner to add to the set of Italian cities which are quite frankly spectacular: Verona.
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, two Gentlemen arrived in the golden light of a creamy sunset to an apartment overlooking the imposing walls of the ancient Roman arena, and knew that they had entered a new Elysium; a city perfectly compact but wide in impact, whose ancient charm extends far beyond the Renaissance but back to the splendid time of the Emperors, whose grand triumphal arches and magnificent arenas characterise the city to this day.
The city which ensnared William Shakespeare and inspired the greatest love story ever known has now caught these two Gentlemen inside it's luxurious web. But if we are prey to its abundance of good food, splendid piazzas, quaint little cobbled streets and cases of the most velvety Valpolicella wine, then I say: catch me web, I'm hanging around for more.
The Daily Norm's new Veronese adventure starts in the sumptuous streets which inject the city with such a cosmopolitan buzz. They are the pulsing veins which carry a continuous and energetic stream of lifeblood around a city whose very existence burns with the vivacity of an aperol spritz, but which conversely exudes something of the tranquility of a lazy Sunday everyday.
The ancient marble pavements which run throughout Verona have been polished to a fine gloss by the millions of feet who have trod them throughout history. In places you can even see grooves marked by carts over millennia of history. Today, those same shiny roads glitter with the veritable glow of cake-filled patisseries and chic fashion outlets. Verona is, after all, a city in which to see and be seen; where sparks of romance resonate everywhere as tourists and locals alike take inspiration from the fabled Romeo and his Juliet.
A trip to Verona doesn't require an itinerary. Just walk, explore, and waft amongst the little streets which wind like arteries across the packed historical core of this great city. From one end to another, your stroll will lead you to all the monuments and majestic sights any guidebook will require you to see. But in the meantime, the streets will give you the best Veronese experience of all: one of cafes and couture, of people perambulating and history unfurling.
This post is in made in homage to those wonderful streets of Verona. At points, of course, those streets widen into the most perfect of piazzas – the real gems around which they wind. But there's time yet for the piazzas, which will be explored in their turn.
Norms in Rome, Rome in the Norms… such has been the delicious longevity of the Norms' devoted acquaintance with Italy's beating heart that the Norms feel permanently wedded to this city of ancient glory and modern glamour. They've been in piazzas aplenty, gorged on delectable Roman food fare, explored ruins, historical monuments and strolled riverside. But as the Norms prepare to take their leave of the city, with their bags packed from some summertime travels, these blobby creatures have made one last visit – to a Piazza equal in glory to the spectacle of the Piazza della Rotonda where their adventure began some three months ago… the glorious Piazza Navona.
Retaining the shape of the Stadium of Domitian which lies beneath its current day ground-level manifestation, but filled with some of the most magnificent sculptures of the Roman baroque, the Piazza Navona embodies Rome at its unique best, evidencing like a geological cross-section Rome's complex trajectory throughout history. Whether it be those exquisite fountains, the countless cafes, or the temporary carousel which appears whenever a festival is in town, the Piazza Navona is the ideal location for the Norms to bid Rome arrivederci…until their inevitable return very soon.
Oh dear. The Norms' reversion to the simpler things in life didn't last for long. No sooner had they settled in the laid back Roman neighbourhood of Trastevere than they got itchy bottoms, and decided to trek again across the river in search of the grandeur for which Rome is famous. And this time they have hit the bullseye, arriving at the monument which, in modern times at least, is probably the grandest spectacle the city of Rome has ever created. Conspicuously named the Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland), but otherwise known as "the Wedding cake", "the Typewriter" and the "English Trifle", this pompous and mammoth construction was, in the early 20th century, built in honour of Victor Emmanuel, the first King of a unified Italy. However, it caused great controversy in its construction, doing away with large swathes of the historically critical Capitoline Hill as well as sticking out like a sore thumb for its gleaming whiteness in amongst a city of ochres and reds.
Yet for all this, being white themselves, the Norms feel rather attracted to this mass of dazzling white theatricality and have made it a high point in their Roman adventure. That is not to say that they are ignoring the spiralling column of Trajan in the ruins of said Emperor's forum just across the road. For one really can't do one of these historical monuments without the other. And happily there's an ice cream stop between the two, just in case the Norms required further inducement to enjoy these two indisputable icons of Rome.

Persistent allegations of corruption aimed at Hamid Karzai's family are undermining Western efforts in Afghanistan and feeding the Taliban-led insurgency, Washington policy-makers have warned.
By Ben Farmer in Kabul 07 August 2009 • 8:23pm

The president's brothers, Mahmoud and Ahmed Wali, are accused of having amassed millions of pounds since Mr Karzai took office even as most of Afghanistan remains poverty stricken. The development has fuelled a popular disillusionment and anger with the leadership that the Taliban has exploited.
Ahmed Wali Karzai has been dogged by allegations, which he denies, of involvement in the country's $3 billion opium trade, while Mahmoud Karzai has been accused of using his brother's influence to build a business empire that has made him one of the country's wealthiest men.
Max Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a research centre, said: "There's a perception that members of his family are benefiting from his position. It's bad for our counter-insurgency efforts."
The rumours of corruption and displays of obvious wealth were providing propaganda for the insurgents.
One Western diplomat said: "We are losing this war to corruption."
Diplomats fear that Mr Karzai shows little appetite to rein in his brothers, despite intense pressure from his international backers and attempts by Western intelligence agencies to investigate his siblings' assets.
Malou Innocent, a foreign-policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank, said the Taliban was using the Karzai brothers' wealth as evidence that the president was a puppet of the Nato-led forces. "It's getting worse," she said. "There doesn't seem to be any silver bullet for getting rid of it considering how endemic it is."
Ahmed Wali Karzai, 48, who has a portfolio of land, transport and private security business interests in the southern city of Kandahar, said the allegations of unproven links with the drug trade were aimed at weakening his brother.
Any involvement in opium production is considered particularly harmful because the drug trade channels hundreds of millions of dollars into the insurgency each year. Taliban commanders earn huge sums from drug traffickers and growers by charging tithes or protection money and providing convoy guards.
Mahmoud Karzai, 54, who has interests in mines, a cement factory and property, denied that he had capitalised on his brother's influence.
A spokesman for the president said allegations that he ran the country as a "family business" were "absolute rubbish" and propaganda spread by his enemies.
Despite the allegations, Mr Karzai remains the favourite to win the election on Aug 20.
His main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, the former foreign minister, claims to have enough support to force a second round of voting but Mr Karzai sought to strengthen his position by offering another challenger a job.
The president offered to make Ashraf Ghani "chief executive" if he stood down and pledged his support. Mr Karzai and Dr Ghani are both Pashtuns from the south and the president's advisers believe an alliance could prevent a split in the ethnic vote.

It is exhilarating to consider the incredible progress that humankind has enjoyed just over the last 100 years. Technology seems to be improving exponentially, and some find it unfathomable to ponder what will come in the next century, let alone 1000 years. While we cannot know what changes will occur, we can be confident that the changes will be remarkable. As such global changes draw near, some readers may be considering making meaningful changes in their own lives. Perhaps some are thinking about making changes in their personal lives. For those, this article will not provide much assistance. But for the readers thinking about making changes in their professional lives, the following will provide information and support to inspire you to become active in the search for a new job: The first thing that you have to do is make a decision. Once you decide that you are ready for a change, and are prepared to take action, you will encounter more substantial decisions down the road.
As we all know, there is no way of getting around the fact that a resume is essential when applying for a new job. Unfortunately many job seekers do not spend adequate time when creating their resumes. The most effective resume is brief, and details your significant employment history. It should include specific skills, such as a variety of software knowledge, that you can immediately apply to your next opportunity. Your resume should also contain information on your educational background, including special certifications. Finally, it is helpful to account for large periods of time when you may not have been working. You should be ready to tailor your resume to each position which interests you. Think about the job description, and customize your resume to that position. You will want to draw attention to the areas of your work history that most closely match the required skill set of this new opportunity. If you are at a loss as to how to begin this process, seek advice from books, the Internet, or professionals. For example, if you are working with a staffing service for your job search, a Consultant will be happy to sit down with you and provide constructive criticism on your resume; helping to get it moving in the right direction. The investment of time you are willing to put into your resume will certainly pay off in the end. A clear, uncluttered and informative resume is sure to catch the attention of any potential employer.
Over a period of time in any position, employees tend to become comfortable with their jobs, especially if they are utilizing the same skill set on a daily basis. Once you have decided to "get out there," and begin the job search, you may need to go outside of your current comfort zone. You should take a good look at yourself and assess whether of not all of your sills are as sharp as your resume indicates. In other words, you may have entered your current job as an expert on all Microsoft Office applications. However, for the past two years, you have not needed to work with Excel or PowerPoint. Now is the time to brush up on those skills again. Most computer proficient people are able to get refreshed on software applications with relatively little effort. Any good staffing service will welcome you to use their computer tutorials in order for you to regain lost skills, or even learn new ones. The service should also put you through their testing when you are ready, in order to gauge your level of knowledge. It is important that you project confidence when discussing your technical skills during the interview process. A savvy interviewer will sense any uncertainty that you may be feeling.
As you start your search for a new job, be sure to clearly think through all of your available options. Networking is an excellent way to spread the word that you are in the market for a new opportunity. Nothing speaks louder than a referral from a trusted contact to a potential employer. As helpful as the Internet can be regarding the job search, a good portion of seekers still find jobs by answering classified ads. Not to say, however, that the Internet should be disregarded. It is a great research tool, and many people find success in posting their resumes, and interacting with prospective employers via Cyberspace. Another successful way to job search is by working with a good staffing service. If possible, choose a service that is recommended to you by a reliable source. The service should spend ample time with you, and really get to know you. The Consultants should not only learn what your employment history and skills are, but also illicit the types of work that you find gratifying, as well as the environments in which you feel most comfortable. If you want to stay within the same industry, make sure they know what you like about your current situation, and what you don't like about it. That way they can focus their efforts on introducing you to similar opportunities, but will not require you to work within the specific area you dislike. Or, if you are looking to change industries, the Consultant should be able to offer you a variety of options based on your skill set and areas of interest.
While most services should have the ability to locate you a Direct Hire opportunity you may choose to do some temporary work for a while, or even try a Temp-to-Hire. The Temp-to-Hire allows the candidate and the employer to work together for a set period of time (usually anywhere from 3-6 months), prior to the hire. Essentially, the probationary period occurs before the candidate is hired on by the firm. In most cases the procedure for getting offered the Temp-to-Hire is the same as it would be for a candidate applying for a regular position. In other words, the staffing service will present the interested candidate's resume to the employer then interviews and reference checks will take place. When the employer elects to start the candidate on the Temp-to-Hire, it is safe to assume that if all goes well during the initial few months the candidate will be offered a regular position with the firm. Not only is this a favored option these days for employers, it is a great way for the candidate to safeguard himself from mistakenly accepting a job that is ultimately not be the best decision. Therefore, the Temp-to-Hire is currently a popular choice for all parties. Whenever you do any temporary work, be sure you are content that the hourly wage being offered to you is fair. Hourly wages that you will receive through a credible staffing service should be commensurate with the expected annual salary for that position. Also, some services offer bonuses such as paid holidays or longevity payments, to reward their staff for loyalty. It will benefit you to seek out the more generous services. Whatever choices you make, do your homework and get well informed; this will allow you to make the best use of your job-search time.
During the interview process, it is important that you take full advantage of your "face time" with potential employers. It is the best way to make a strong impression, and set yourself apart from the competition. Be sure to dress appropriately. Wear the most professional and well-pressed attire you own. Pop a breath mint in your mouth prior to the interview. Bring a clean copy of your resume, as well as a list of references. They should be held in an attaché or folder, do not have them loosely floating around in a bag. When you are introduced to the interviewer, smile and make good eye contact while offering a firm (but not painful!) handshake. Once the actual interview commences let your personality shine through. It is advisable to be forthcoming with pertinent information, but do not provide unnecessary details, such as disclosures from your personal life. If you need special accommodations, for example, for childcare, you can relay that during negotiations after the job has been offered. Use the interview as a way to show your strengths and interests. Be friendly, and ask well-thought-out questions. No candidate should arrive at an interview without researching the organization. Most firms and companies have web sites which can be easily accessed. A sample of a smart question: "I learned from your web site that the firm has doubled in size over the past 5 years. To what do you attribute this growth?" Employers will invariably appreciate the fact that you did your homework. Once you have completed the interview, follow up immediately with a thank you note. A handwritten card is still the best, but an e-mail message will also suffice, especially if it is a more e-mail friendly environment. Be sure to acknowledge the time the interviewer took with you, and make mention of your interest in returning for a second meeting. If you are working through a staffing service, you should get in touch with your Consultant and provide him or her with your candid feedback. Attitude is everything when interviewing. Obviously, employers need to hire a skilled candidate into the position, but equally as important, they want to hire someone with whom the team will enjoy working.
You have researched the job market, created a solid resume, interviewed with a variety of organizations, and now you have been presented with a job offer. There are a myriad of details to consider when mulling over an offer. For example, if you are changing industries, there is a good chance that you will have to take a pay cut. Because you are coming to the table with great enthusiasm, but no practical experience, you will probably have to accept a financial step backwards, before you can go forward. Or, if you are not taking a big leap outside of your area of expertise, but have been offered a position which pays less than you are currently earning, consider the whole package before declining the offer. Many organizations offer extremely generous benefits, occasionally including stock options, which add up to greater compensation than you may realize. Also, some firms provide "soft" perks like a casual dress code (which can save a lot of money on work clothes!), or flexible schedules to accommodate their employees. Don't be afraid to negotiate. It can't hurt to ask for the things which are important to you. But, don't get greedy or go over-board; show gratitude if the employer is willing to meet you half way. Be smart. Base your decision on all the variables, compare the overall package to your current situation, and make the choice that reels right to you.
The most essential component when conducting a job search is that you retain your confidence. There is no doubt that the right job is out there for you. Now, all you have to do is get active in the search, and make wise choices. Sooner or later the perfect opportunity will introduce itself to you.

Juan Gonzalez Has Found His Perfect Match
Juan Gonzalez is proud to work for KeyBank, where he sees his values reflected every day
By	Cristina Merrill
KeyBank President of Central Indiana Juan Gonzalez had a clear vision of what success meant to him early on in his career, and it involved getting an advanced degree from a university in the United States. Fortunately, the Colombia native was able to attend Butler University's MBA program in Indianapolis, home to the Indianapolis 500 (he's a huge fan). From there, Gonzalez grew his career in the city and became involved in the community through local events and board memberships.
Eventually, he joined a board and became acquainted with a fellow board member who worked as an executive at KeyBank, one of the nation's leading regional banks and the only major bank headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. That executive recruited Gonzalez, who joined the bank in February 2010.

To say KeyBank's values align with Gonzalez's would be an understatement. The bank's boots-on-the-ground efforts to engage with the community and its robust diversity and inclusion initiatives strongly appeal to Gonzalez, whose own desire to be involved in the community goes back to his childhood experiences in Colombia, where he witnessed his parents leading by example.
"A lot of people say KeyBank is just a bank, but it's not just a bank," Gonzalez says. "From the day I joined this organization, one of our core values has always been diversity and inclusion. I'm very honored to be the first Latino market president for this company. We have twenty-seven markets in the United States, from Alaska to Maine, so it's a great honor to represent our community at that level."
Today, Gonzalez leads a team of business bankers throughout Indiana and is the senior executive for KeyBank in central Indiana, which is composed of more than two hundred employees. His responsibilities include making sure KeyBank is growing its market share, partnering with the right local organizations, and getting employees engaged in the community.
"If management is not 100 percent committed to diversity and inclusion, nothing really changes. I'm proud to say we are committed."
"I want to make sure the CEO in Cleveland knows who my team members are, not just because they are producing but because they are involved in the community efforts we are working on in central Indiana," Gonzalez says. "That servant leadership concept is still there for me, and I don't think it'll ever go away."
Gonzalez is also heavily involved in the bank's development and oversaw a major digital banking pilot program in 2019. Banking has been transformed because of technology, he points out, and people are using online banking more than ever. According to Gonzalez, KeyBank used central Indiana as a testing ground to consolidate a number of branches where foot traffic was lower—the test resulted in zero layoffs, and the money the bank saved was reinvested in the locations that stayed open, as well as digital banking technology.
As a part of that effort, Gonzalez and one of the bank's corporate responsibility officers spoke with a wide range of community leaders, businesspeople, nonprofit heads, and even politicians about the change. A byproduct of these conversations was a $250,000 investment in ten community organizations to support the development and delivery of digital banking and financial wellness education programming to low- to moderate-income residents across central Indiana. The grants are a part of the bank's commitment to ensure all people, especially those in low- to moderate-income communities, can benefit from the changes happening across the banking industry.
"The pilot program has proven to be extremely successful. We have grown market shares with fewer locations," Gonzalez offers. "We have taken a bigger number of clients into KeyBank, and they're not just opening an account. They are making us their primary bank, for mortgages, car loans, credit cards, business, wealth management, and more."
"From the day I joined this organization, one of our core values has been diversity and inclusion. I'm very honored to be the first Latino market president for this company."
KeyBank has also stepped up to help the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to Paycheck Protection Program loans, KeyBank was able to fund 100 percent of its clients and helped facilitate more than forty-three thousand loans across the country for a total of about $8.1 billion.
"It was a lot of work, but it was so worth it to see our clients survive and succeed," Gonzalez says. "We're also one of the largest companies in the country that does affordable housing lending nationwide. The bank is committed 100 percent from the top down, and I can tell you that the passion is there. It's truly in our DNA to be community minded."
Gonzalez credits strong mentors with his professional advancement. Today, he pays that forward as a mentor to a younger colleague based out of Denver.
"Moving up the ladder isn't just something we talk about. It's something we help our teammates do through various programs and mentorships," Gonzalez says.
He is also very proud of the bank's commitment to diversity and inclusion. He references an in-house training system, through which employees and managers can access a wide range of data-driven information to learn about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Employees can also participate in roundtable discussions, in which Gonzalez is a frequent participant.
"If management is not 100 percent committed to diversity and inclusion, nothing really changes. I'm proud to say we are committed," he says. "There's still a lot of work to do—this is a long journey. But people like me are volunteering and participating and making sure we have the difficult conversations about how we can be there for our community and how we can do more as a bank through hiring, recruiting, and development."

Seedai is an offering made for Sri Krishna Jayanthi/Gokulashtami. Usually, seedai is done with processed rice flour. Earlier I have posted uppu seedai, maida coconut milk seedai. Now I have used wheat flour instead of maida. The gluten content in wheat breaks down when steamed and makes it easily digestible and healthy.
Urad dhal powder - 2 tsp.
Prepare urad dhal powder as said in this link. Tie wheat flour in a clean white cloth and steam cook for 15 minutes. When still warm to handle, break well without any lumps or powder in a mixie. Sieve well. Sieve rice flour and dry roast until hot.
Mix water and coconut milk and keep ready. Melt butter and keep ready.
In a broad vessel, combine all ingredients and mix well to a crumbled mixture. Now add the water-coconut milk mixture little by little to make a smooth dough.
Make small balls from the dough and spread it on a clean, white cloth.
Heat oil and add the seedais to it. Deep fry in medium heat until golden brown. Drain on a kitchen towel. When cool, store in an airtight container.
Crispy and crunchy wheat flour coconut milk seedai is ready for offering.
Click here for regular seedai recipe.
Click here for maida coconut milk seedai recipe.
Make sure that there is no mud or dust in the flour, sesame seeds, jeera and salt. It is better to dissolve salt and hing in water and strain it and use.
Grated coconut is not necessary as coconut milk is used.
Coconut oil enhances the taste, but any other edible oil can be used.


Just a few hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, dozens of concerned D.C.-area residents took their own oath in a local church to become "active bystanders" in the Trump era, intervening to protect victims of harassment.
"So there was an oath taken on the Hill today and we don't really want to think about it," said Tameka Bell, a grassroots organizer leading the "nonviolent active bystander" training in an Episcopal church in Silver Spring, Md., Friday afternoon.
The group of about 100 locals split up into groups of four to act out various scenarios where someone is being harassed to practice how to intervene without escalating the confrontation. They learned how to use "combat breath" — breathe in for four seconds, breathe out for four seconds — to lower their heart rate and stay calm during tense exchanges, and how to videotape conflicts on their cellphones. Hundreds of others participated in similar training in more than 20 area churches Friday.
"Go back to Mexico! Speak English!" another woman yelled at the "target" in her group. The group's designated "bystander" swooped in, serving as a physical barrier between them and asking the victim if she needed help.
"Being the harasser was awful," said Judi Rockhill, who came to the training with her two high school-age daughters. Rockhill said she had seen more harassment going on in her community and wanted to come to the training to learn how to respond.
"I thought that our community was better," said Frances, a participant who did not want to give her last name.
The Southern Poverty Law Center published a report saying acts of bias-motivated harassment were up dramatically across the country after Trump's election. These claims are hard to verify until authorities have investigated them.
Bell, the leader of the training, told the group to harness their "moral outrage" so they can step in and protect people who are being harassed when necessary. That prompted a back and forth with participants who worried that moral outrage and anger were not appropriate because they could lead to more hate and tension in their community.

Q: Un-clear intervals? Is it possible to make it so that function Rotate can be called more than once?
Because of me clearing the interval, it only works once
var Rotation = 0;

        function Rotate() {
                var x = setInterval(function() {
                    if (Rotation < 61) {
                        Rotation = Rotation + 1;
                        document.getElementById("Test").style.transform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                        document.getElementById("Test").style.msTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                        document.getElementById("Test").style.webkitTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                        console.log("Rotated "+Rotation+" degrees.")
                    }
                    else {
                        clearInterval(x);
                        var y = setInterval(function() {
                            if (Rotation > 0) {
                                Rotation = Rotation - 1;
                                document.getElementById("Test").style.transform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                                document.getElementById("Test").style.msTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                                document.getElementById("Test").style.webkitTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
                                console.log("Rotated "+Rotation+" degrees.")
                            }
                        }, 1)

                    }
                }, 1)
        }

A: Add an else statement for this if:
if (Rotation > 0)

with this content:
clearInterval(y);
Rotate();

A: I would do like this
var Rotation = 0;
var RotateDirection = 1;
function Rotate() {
    setInterval(function(){
    Rotation = Rotation + RotateDirection;
    document.getElementById("Test").style.transform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
    document.getElementById("Test").style.msTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
    document.getElementById("Test").style.webkitTransform = "rotate("+Rotation+"deg)";
    if( Rotation == 60 || Rotation == 0 ) RotateDirection *= -1;
    console.log("Rotated "+Rotation+" degrees.");}, 1);
}

You don't need to use clearInterval, you don't need two functions. The above function will rotate 0 to 60 and 60 to 0, again and again.

Connecting charitable borrowers with ethical investors through bonds listed on London Stock Exchange
Many charities in the UK operate as businesses, generating revenue from their activities. Like with any other business, loan finance can enable them to expand their activities and generate more income, which means delivering more benefit for the people they work with.
A Retail Charity Bond provides charitable organisations with a simple and affordable way to raise unsecured loan finance through the retail bond market for amounts starting from £10 million. For established charities with strong credit worth it offers a lighter alternative to bank debt, as well as the opportunity to engage with a wide audience of individual investors.
Retail Charity Bonds are equally designed to offer a transparent and liquid market for investors looking for impact investment opportunities that offer a financial return and create tangible social benefit. Admission to trading on London Stock Exchange's Order book for Retail Bonds enables investors to buy and sell these social investment products in the secondary market.
Below shows you how the programme has grown:
The bonds are issued by a special purpose vehicle, Retail Charity Bonds plc. The issuing vehicle is governed by a board of directors with significant experience in the financial and charitable sectors, acting on a pro-bono basis. This independent board will review applications by appropriate, established charitable organisations seeking loan finance.
Retail Charity Bonds plc's only business is issuing bonds, lending the proceeds to UK charities and related operations, and it has no employees. Its administration is undertaken by Allia Bond Services under a services agreement.
Each bond will be offered for sale through a number of authorised distributors. The bonds will be listed on London Stock Exchange and are expected to be admitted to trading on the Order book for Retail Bonds, where they may be bought and sold on the secondary market. The proceeds from each bond issue, minus costs, will be advanced to a specific UK charity under a loan agreement with Retail Charity Bonds plc. The charity will pay interest on the loan on specified interest dates and will repay the loan at the end of the term. These interest and principal payments from the charity to Retail Charity Bonds plc fund the interest and principal payments to bondholders.
Each Retail Charity Bond has limited recourse to the relevant charity loan, meaning that investors in the bond are relying solely on the relevant charity for payments of interest and principal. They have no right of recourse against, and are not taking risk on any other charities that have received loans through the platform.
The issuer, Retail Charity Bonds plc, is a special purpose vehicle created to issue fixed income retail bonds. It is governed by an independent and experienced board of directors from the financial and charity sectors who are acting on a pro-bono basis.

Instead of deciding outright what the installation should be, Interboro talked to PS1′s neighbors about what they needed and let the design grow organically from the input, incorporating the community's requested materials. The result, as the firm say, is "a scheme that doesn't so much redesign the courtyard as reveal it." Holding Pattern is a twisted canopy of rope that stretches from the main PS1 building to each side of the courtyard through one large and continuous structure.
Under the canopy, Interboro created sitting areas, and used things like mirrors, flood lights and ping-pong tables to create an interactive space for for Warm Up attendees. The seating will be split between a senior citizens center and the Checker Management offices. The mirrors will be given to the Long Island City Ballet School, the flood lights will go to the NYC Irish Center, and the ping pong tables are for Info Tech High School.
Interboro Partners worked with more than 15 different community groups to create the final design. On their website, they say, "We never would have thought to include [these items], but [they] both enhance the Warm Up's program, and strengthen MoMA PS1′s ties to its neighborhood.

La Modernista
Sharing the love of modernism in art, architecture, literature and design.
Alexander Rodchenko – Always in the avant-garde
La Modernista October 19, 2020 October 18, 2020 Art
Spatial Construction no. 12, c.1920 – Image @Moma
Abstract art is one of my favourite movements in modern art.
There's something about nonrepresentational works that immediately catch my eyes and attention.
It's fascinating to see how artists work on the expression of feelings and other questions without depicting objects and away from personification.
Constructivist years
The list of artists and moments in abstraction that I want to share here is quite big, but I'll start with Russian avant-garde painter, sculptor, designer and photographer Alexander Rodchenko (1891–1956) because I love his work!
Immersed in the changes of the modern world and new ways of thinking about art, he was part of the first generation of abstract artists in Russia influenced by Wassily Kandinsky's abstractions and Kasimir Malevich and El Lissitzky's Suprematism.
Alongside Vladimir Tatlin and his wife Varvara Stepanova, they started Constructivism.
Rodchenko wanted to get rid of all forms of representation in favour of simple, geometric shapes and colours that he believed were more suited to the late 1910s.

Designing the 'modern' USSR
A supporter of the 1917 Russian Revolution, he believed that art could be an important instrument of transformation in society.
He taught classes, designed objects and clothing in collaboration with other artists at the Higher Technical-Artistic Studios – VKhUTEMAS/VKhUTEIN.
He has a vast production of print: ads, packaging, book covers and layouts. His sharp collage and photomontage style became very popular and is still found today, as I bet you can recognize these prints:
Book cover "Pro Eto" by Vladimir Mayakovsky, 1923 / Poster "Books (Please)! In all branches of knowledge", 1924 Images @Wiki Art (Public Domain) / Frye Art Museum
The other angle
Later in his career, Rodchenko favoured photography to other mediums and explored the numerous possibilities of composition with unexpected angles and subjects.

Although his work was embraced and celebrated by the Bolcheviques after the Revolution, as the regime became more authoritarian, tightening control over artistic associations and schools, and as 'Socialist Realism' was appointed the new Soviet art, he and his work were considered treason by the state.
Little is known of his late years.
What part of Alexander Rodchenko's work is your favourite?
Let me know in the comments or on Social Media!
If you liked this post, share with someone you think will enjoy as much as you! 🙂

William George Flippance 1881-1916
William Flippance's background has been researched mostly online but with reference to the Parish Magazine and the Burbage & Easton Royal, Royal British Legion Book of Remembrance. There are inconsistences; please let me know if I've got it wrong!
William George Flippance was born during the Autumn of 1881 and his birth registered in Pewsey, which at the time included Burbage and Milton Lilbourne. The son of Henry and Janet (nee Pearce), he grew up in Milton with his younger sibblings. The 1891 Census records the father's occupation as Agricultural Labourer.
William joined the Coldstream Guards in December 1900 and was at the Guards Depot, Caterham for the 1901 Census. His attestation papers tie his date of birth, and the names of father, mother and siblings to the 1891 Census. William served with the Coldstreams until December 1908 both at Home and overseas where he was awarded the South Africa War Medal with Clasp 'Cape Colony' and the South Africa 1902 Medal.
By 1911 he was back with his parents at Westwick, Pewsey where he worked as a cowman. He married Minnie Compton in the spring of 1912. In March 1915, the Parish Magazine reported that William G Flippance was serving with the 3rd Battalion Wiltshire Regiment. He later joined the 5th Battalion and entered the Balkans theatre of operations on 12th July 1915.

Sri Lanka major university students' union, Inter University Students' Federation (IUSF - ANTHARE) will hold a massive protest march today noon from Colombo Fort to the Ministry of Higher Education ward place. This is will create a huge traffic !
Minister Tilak Marapana also to make a special statement today parliement over HNDA Students attack.
The Inter University Students' Federation (IUSF) is planning to stage a protest today in Colombo with the participation of more than 5,000 students of all universities that hold the membership of IUSF along with Higher National Institutes islandwide. The protest will be staged based on a number of demands. IUSF convener Lahiru Weerasekara said the main demand would be to urge the government to abolish the privatisation of universities.
"We are hoping to stage the protest against 'fake degrees' offered at a certain institution while urging the government to abolish the private universities that are being operated at present," he said.
Questioned whether this protest is staged as a challenge to the government against the Higher National Diploma in Accountancy (HNDA) student attack, he said the protest was previously planned.
"However our demands include obtaining similar recognition to the HND as that of the Bachelor of Commerce degree," Weerasekera added.
The HNDA was granted equal recognition in 1990 but later a circular was issued by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government cancelling the degree status provided.
The IUSF last Friday issuing a statement condemned the manner in which the police handled the demonstration by students of HNDA where several students were injured.

5 New Peoples' Army rebels killed in Negros
Zaida Delos Reyes
THREE soldiers were wounded while five members of New Peoples' Army (NPA) were killed in an encounter yesterday morning in Calatrava, Negros Occidental.
Identities of the wounded soldiers were not yet available as of press time. The slain rebels were taken by their comrades.
Reports reaching Camp Aguinaldo showed that the encounter occurred at around 5:30 a.m. at Sitio Puting Tubig, Barangay Minautok, Calatrava, Negros Occidental.
Elements of the Philippine Army's 79th Infantry Battalion were conducting patrol operation in the area when they encountered the rebels.
According to Lt. Col. Emelito Thaddeus Logan, commanding officer of 79IB, even before the election period started, the Army already monitored the presence of the NPAs in the area as reported by the residents.
In response troops were sent to conduct combat operations in the area and encountered the enemy.
The firefight lasted for about an hour after which the enemy retreated to different directions.
The fleeing rebels left one magazine with eight ammunition for Garrand Carbine rifle, three cellular phones, two power banks, one memory card, one sim card, one pair of boots, one hammock, one poncho, ten kilos of rice, and spices used for cooking.
"The continuous encounters against the terrorists NPAs in the area prove that the communities no longer wanted the enemies' presence here," Logan said.


This 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS-T ticks all the right boxes. It is rust free, super clean inside and out and makes huge power. It really is hard to ask more! The factory Diamond Black paint shines bright and is in excellent condition. There are no significant dents or scratches and the body is in brilliant shape. The exterior remains mostly stock except for the OEM/V-Spec style hood and the R1 spec front bumper. It's hard to go wrong with meaty tires on period correct wheels and this car sits very pretty on just that.
When it comes to the engine department, this car is one of the most complete and well built GTS-Ts you'll ever find. The engine pulls incredibly hard and is actually quite responsive considering the fairly large turbo. The transmission shifts well and the OS Giken twin plate clutch feels pretty good. The car has line lock installed which makes it all too clear how serious the previous owner was about this build. This car could easily be daily driven and also a track/strip weapon without a sweat. We have tested the car on a dyno and it has made 528 WHP.
The interior of this R32 is in above average condition. Except for a couple of tears on the Bride bucket seat, you will have a hard time finding any major flaws. Door cards are in good shape with no sun fade. The dashboard is in above average condition. There are no stains or tears in the carpet, headliner or remaining seats. 71,000 original miles.

Q: Future not returning Hive box data in Flutter I have a Hive box, which i fill with customer data from an API prior to opening a customer selection screen.
When i open the customer selection screen i don't get any data displayed in my GridView when i know there is data in the box.
The following code is a snip of what it used to build the GridView. It uses a Future method(getDeliveryAddressData) and a FutureBuilder.  My Future is called from initState against a variable i have declared and then this variable is used as the Future within my FutureBuilder.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
  Future<List<Order>?>? testingData;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    testingData = getDeliveryAddressData();
    // On page load action.
    SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) async {
    await actions.lockOrientation();
  }

Future<List<Order>?> getDeliveryAddressData() async {
final deliveryAddressData = Hive.box<Order>(orderInfoBox);

final deliveryAddressDataList = deliveryAddressData.values;

final deliveryAddresses = deliveryAddressDataList.toList();

if (deliveryAddresses.isNotEmpty) {
  return deliveryAddresses;
} else {
  return Future.error('No delivery address data to load');
}
}
child: FutureBuilder(
future: testingData,
builder: ((BuildContext context,

          if (snapshot.hasError) {
          visible = false;
          showNoOrderDialog();
          }
          if (snapshot.connectionState !=

                                color: Colors.white,
                              ));
                            }
                            return GridView.builder(
                              padding: EdgeInsets.zero,
                              gridDelegate:

                              scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
                              itemCount: snapshot.data?.length,
                              itemBuilder: (context, int index) {
                                Order? order = snapshot.data?[index];

I'm not using my Future method has my FutureBuild directly to avoid loading eachtime the screen is scrolled etc.


A similar march, organised by the Association on December 25, was also violently dispersed, with government sharpshooters allegedly adopting a 'shoot to kill' strategy.
According to journalists who spoke to Radio Dabanga, the shooting with live ammunition and heavy tear gas at Monday's procession led to the injury of a number of people. Dozens of professionals including doctors, lawyers, teachers, and politicians were detained.
The demonstrators chanted slogans of freedom, peace and justice, and the revolution is the choice of the people, the people want to overthrow the regime, and peaceful against the thieves. A new slogan was added: "You arrogant racist, all the country is Darfur" in a clear reference to the Sudanese rejection of the campaign of the regime against Darfuri students.
She said, "I am now wandering around El Gandoul roundabout,", adding that there was no room for taking a breath as security in civilian clothes, numerous military trucks, and trucks mounted with Dushka machine guns are everywhere.
The BBC correspondent in Sudan reported that the Sudanese authorities used live bullets against peaceful demonstrators in the centre of the capital Khartoum. Mohamed Osman, the channel's correspondent said: "So far, we have not been told of any casualties, but I have seen some troops firing live bullets to disperse the demonstrators".


Tackling the complex and intertwined issues of shepherding, counseling, and establishing believers in the faith, this encyclical addresses the massive fragmentation of these concepts in churches today and sets forth the call to "return to the way of Christ and His Apostles" in understanding and applying the transforming power of the gospel to life rebuilding as well as deep psychological problems. Additionally, this encyclical lays out the importance of a well-trained eldership and returning the church to the center of the pastoral care process. It proposes a taxonomy and standards for training church leaders today, to prepare them for this vital shepherding role.

Q: How to render indentation with erb in Rails partial So I have a partial which gets a parameter and lists its properties:
<% if entry %>
  {
  <%= render partial: 'user_data', locals: {entry: entry} %>
  }
<% end %>

The _user_data.html.erb:
<% if entry.name != nil %>
  name: <%= entry.name %>
  entry number: <%= entry.number %>
  user: <%= entry.user %>
<% else %>
  name: nil
  entry number: nil
  user: nil
<% end %>

What I get is:
  {
    name: nil
entry number: nil
user: nil
  }

How could I indent them properly? Why is it happening at all?

A: If you want just formatted HTML output, try using <pre> tag:
<% if entry %>
  <pre>
  {
    <% if entry.name != nil %>
      name: <%= entry.name %>
      entry number: <%= entry.number %>
      user: <%= entry.user %>
    <% else %>
      name: nil
      entry number: nil
      user: nil
    <% end %>
  }
  </pre>
<% end %>

Benjamin Keen (1913–2002) was an American historian specialising in the history of colonial Latin America.

Keen received his PhD from Yale and taught at Amherst College, West Virginia University, and Jersey State College before joining Northern Illinois University in 1965. He retired in 1981. In 1985 he received the Distinguished Service Award of the Conference of Latin American History.

His first work was Latin American Civilization: History and Society: 1492 to the Present, first published in 1955 and appearing in its seventh edition in 2000. Another textbook published in six editions was his A History of Latin America.
In Aztec Image in Western Thought he documents how Western intellectuals have changed their views of the Aztec culture since the first years of conquest and until modern times. He also examined how Western historiography have interpreted Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé de Las Casas since the fifteenth century. He also published translations of the chronicle of the 16th-century Spanish judge Alonso de Zorita in Life and Labor in Ancient Mexico: The Brief and Summary Relation of the Lords of New Spain and of Fernando Columbus' The Life of the Admiral Christopher Columbus.

He was also known as a debater of historiography, and participated in a famous exchange with historian Lewis Hanke where he accused the latter of having gone too far in his debunking of the Spanish Black Legend - the historiographic tradition exaggerating the cruelty of the Spanish Colonial empire - and instead having participated in the creation of a White Legend.

Jane (with Gracie Wood) wins the Kismet Tennis Tourney!
Ok, summer of 2007, coming to an end, and I'm beginning... that is par for the course these days when Fair Harbor looks nothing like it did... a friend of mine said it looks as though a day care center exploded... WE HAVE MILLIONS OF KIDS, in fact the group houses of old have been replaced by the group houses of families...The annual Fair Harbor Fire Dept kids parade really benefits from all these little ones...Some of the outstanding "floats" belonged to the ever creative grandchildren of Marty (happy recovery) and Anita Rich, Alex braving the NY crowd with his homage to the Green Monster... in keeping with this year's theme of "GREEN"... also seen on floats were the Brozan babies, and countless others, it took MC Jack Gellately a long time to honor them all, bring on the franks Seen making sure the festivities went well was FHFD's best party planners, Brett Roberts and Merri Fisher.
No less than 6 Harborites entered the Kismet Tennis tournament: Binnie, Tony F, John, Jeff and the winning-est couple Jane (won this year) and hubby Dean (won last year). Hey, how come we don't have our own tennis courts?
Our local hangout, Le Dock (aka the dock) has enjoyed a huge summer since adding outdoor dining to our humble hamlet.... It gets a bit crowded downtown with all the bikes, babies and dogs, but biz is good and so's the food, a special nod to the service "crew" at Le Dock, it's the best service in town, and we have that very able crew, including Kirsten Tannen and all her homies... to thank... Cheers to Patrick and Melissa.on a great year.
Who took that great photo of Milton Pike and Nevio Maggiore?? Was Olga far behind them...? Where's Tony ??? all questions for Paula and Sandy to ponder as they leave FH this summer.
Kudos, as always, to our lifeguards... Richie and his gang did a phenom job this year guarding our shores and watching the waves. The ocean is a huge part of life here and with lots of kids and newcomers abounding, it's comforting to know we have such well trained guys on those highchairs... We need a lifeguard reunion to gather all those guys together.
Heather McDonald is running for Fire Commissioner this year... I think it's high time for a woman in many high places and I hope Fair Harbor will lead the way in that department .... she also is a great hostess, having the first party of season- co hosting with Cedric and Lori and half of the dynamic kid duo of Morgan and Alexa (daughter of Bobby and Linda Kerr).
We enjoyed a couple of fine pancake breakfasts this year, run by the Fair Harbor Fire Dept... Seen flipping cakes were Russ, Bobby Chinkel, and Dan Priest... did we see Uncle Neal selling those chances? And welcome back to Bea Thornberg who takes her job as coffee maven very seriously.... We do miss our Ladies Auxiliary gang, but the guys did a great job..
What's up with Marge Tannen... was she seen on a golf cart or was that a figment of our imagination..... I'm sure she has a permit.
Anyway, as the summer of 2007 comes to a close, we wish everyone a safe and healthy winter, and now those lucky ones who are still around get to enjoy the many fall classics that Fair Harbor has to offer. We have the FHCA Annual barbeque on Sept 15th and the potluck is tentatively set for Sept 22.... There is a still some fun left..
