Tribeca Film Festival Hosts Clive Davis' 'The Soundtrack Of Our Lives' Screening & Legends Concert
New York's Radio City Music Hall set the stage for Robert Deniro's 16th annual Tribeca Film Festival opening night, with a screening of the iconic music executive Clive Davis' The Soundtrack of our Lives documentary and a live concert celebrating the mega mogul.
The film, directed by Chris Perkel, travels through the five-decade-plus career of Davis as well as the legendary musical acts he helped bring to the world during his tenure at CBS Records, Arista Records and J Records. On Wednesday night (April 19), among 5,000 attendees, Davis took in the huge love he received during scenes of him and Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis, Kenny G, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, to name a few. The storyline of this orphaned youngster — who grew into the most influential music man of today — is inspirational and informative for the casual music industry head. The most amazing aspect of the film lied in the cleared photos and music from as far as the 1960s — all rare and pure gold. It's astounding to see how the music industry functioned and operated in the early days, and the fact that Davis cut his teeth in those times a lawyer.
READ: The Queen Of Soul Is Ready To Bid Adieu To The Music Industry
Following the film's closing credits, the Radio City crowd was treated to a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience, featuring Davis' short list of incredible acts saluting his life. With Barry Manilow starting off and rocking the piano, Jennifer Hudson followed with a rendition of Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman." Her performance of "Hallelujah" brought the place to cheers and tears. Once Earth, Wind, and Fire set up shop with Kenny G, the venue swayed with old school soul.
There is only one Dionne Warwick and she displayed why her timeless classic "That's What Friends Are For" is one for the ages. Attendees locked arms with loved ones and swayed back and forth. Carly Simon in a bit of her hippy day glory found a way to intermix one of her classics with the children's favorite (a few kids on stage included to help with the tone) "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." It was definitely a head scratching moment that host for the evening, Whoopi Goldberg, quipped by saying, "Inspiration can come from anywhere."

Yet, just like old times, the Queen of Soul aka Aretha Franklin sauntered on stage in a sleeveless, white and gold trimmed Disney Princess gown and proceeded to school the people in "Diva Songship 101." Looking a bit more svelte than usual, Franklin showered Davis with accolades and titles like "humanitarian", "chieftain" and "friend", before she ripped through chart-topper, "Natural Woman," and turning "Freeway of Love" into a gospel hymn with vocal gymnastics.
Watching the performances was a fitting close to a night of highlights from living legends. Shortly after, Davis made his way to the afterparty at Central Park's famed restaurant Tavern On The Green. The stars who attended the screening and concert popped up at the fabulous spot and ended the night to further celebrate Davis — the man who has helped shape the soundtrack of our lives.

Abstract : Some 30 years ago an informal meeting of the few Nordic specialists in semiconductor physics marked the beginning of what has become a biannual meeting of some hundred physicists and physics students from all the Nordic countries. The 16th Nordic Semiconductor Meeting took place at Laugarvatn, Iceland, June 12-15, 1994. As a regional meeting the Nordic Semiconductor meeting has three characteristic features all of which distinguish it from more traditional international meetings in the field. First, it has the purpose of promoting Nordic cooperation in the international field of semiconductor physics. Research in the fields of advanced science and technology in the Nordic countries is likely to benefit from joining national forces before participating in the increasing European integration. Second, there is an unusually large fraction of graduate students amongst the participants of the Nordic Semiconductor Meeting. In fact, attending this conference is traditionally a part of the graduate program in semiconductor physics and technology. The Nordic Semiconductor Meeting is often the first conference of international character that graduate students attend in order to present a paper of poster. Third, there is an interdisciplinary quality of the meeting which is normally not the case for meetings of this size. In particular, the number of professional scientists from industry is comparable to the number of their academic colleagues. This is important for both groups, but perhaps the graduate students benefit most from presenting their results to both groups. The 16th Nordic Semiconductor Meeting, the first one in this series held in Iceland, attracted 129 active participants. The scientific programme was divided in twelve oral sessions.

To accomplish this, many accounting software products are now re-tooled to use external report generators. Some make the process look transparent. Others do not show report options on menus but rather instruct you to use an external report generator to create the report you want and save it to the menu for repeated use.
Some accounting systems have combined the latest programming technologies to make it that when you generate a print preview version of a report, you may drill down on clickable cells to see the detail behind summary values.

Orlando Pirates midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch has warned his team that Kaizer Chiefs will be eager for revenge in the Soweto derby at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Buccaneers have gotten the better of the Amakhosi in the last three derbies, but Lorch believes their opponents are a much more dangerous prospect since their managerial change, which saw Ernst Middendorp replace Giovanni Solinas at the back end of 2018.
"It's going to be a different ball game, we expect they will come at us and fight because they won't want to lose to us again," Lorch is quoted by Kick-Off.
He added, "We're definitely expecting a different approach because we were watching their game against Sundowns, and they came out with a different style of play.
Pirates come into the game having claimed 32 points from their 18 league matches this season, while Chiefs have accumulated 27 from 19 outings.

Ryan Gosling crashes Russell Crowe's awards show presentation
Zach Seemayer
Watch Ryan Gosling Crash Russell Crowe's AACTA Awards Appearance (In an Aussie Accent, No Less!)
Ryan Gosling is awesome every time he does anything – including when he "crashes" live televised events.
Russell Crowe was presenting the nominees for Best Supporting Actress at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts awards, live via satellite from Los Angeles, when Ryan Gosling strolled over and made the whole thing a million times better.
Eva Mendes Ryan Gosling
Crowe and Gosling are currently in L.A. shooting their 1970s-era crime thrillerThe Nice Guys – hence their unusual attire.
In the hilarious clip, Crowe introduces the star saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, you might not recognize him with his clothes on. It's Ryan Gosling."
VIDEO: Ryan Gosling's Sexiest Film Roles
That's a good jab on Crowe's part. Gosling does love taking his clothes off.
After Crowe's introduction, Gosling showed off his laughably bad Aussie accent, saying, "G'day folks,how ya goin'?"
Even Crowe chuckled in response to the cheesy attempt.
NEWS: 9 Reasons Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Are Awesome Together So Shut Up, Everyone
Before anyone could get offended, Gosling was kind enough to explain, "It's okay, I'm an honorary Australian."
"Really? How's that?" Crowe asks.
"I lived in New Zealand for like two years, so..." Gosling deadpanned.
The look on Gosling's face when he's told that New Zealand and Australia are, in fact, different countries is what sells the whole skit.
If you simply can't get enough Gosling, check out this ET Flashback to an interview with the beloved star on the set of Young Hercules.

When it's cold and dark outside, sometimes there's no better place to be than the pub, and Sheffield isn't in short supply. The city centre is home to some fantastic bars, but during the winter, it's the 'proper pubs' that are often the most cosy. Here are some suggestions for if you're in need of a traditional pub to spend an evening in Sheffield after 5pm.
Thornbridge Brewery's hidden gem The Bath Hotel can be found just off West Street on Victoria Street. The bar is stocked with the brewery's award-winning beets in cask, keg and bottle, with frequent guest beers from around Britain and the world in rotation. From 5pm on a Friday enjoy hot roast pork sandwiches, on other evenings, treat yourself to a pork pie or sausage roll.
With folk nights every Wednesday, quiz night every Thursday, and jazz and poetry twice a month, The Bath is a great spot for enjoy the simple things – great beer and relaxing with friends.
A cosy boozer on Pitt Street, just behind West Street, the Red Deer serves great beer and increasingly has a fantastic reputation for vegan beers and food. As well as eight real ales – five of which are guest, and always rotating – the Red Deer has two vegan ales on the bar, and a full menu dedicated to veggie and vegan food.
Enjoy a themed quiz every Tuesday, and regular live music and poetry nights throughout the month.
Made famous by Pete McKee's The Snog mural, there has been a pub on Fagan's Broad Lane sight since the 1800s, and if it's a traditional pub you're after, Fagan's is perfect. Things are kept simple – good beer, good food and a homey atmosphere.
Fagan's often has live music, and is always full of regulars, pop in once and you may just become one yourself.
Outside of Sheffield, The Grapes may only be known as the venue where the Arctic Monkeys played some of their earliest gigs, but talk to any pub fan in the Steel City and they'll tell you there's much more to it than that.
With traditional Irish music most nights, and a love for Guinness, The Grapes prides itself on being a 'proper pub' and boasts traditional décor, some great ales on the bar, and of course, will always have a place in Sheffield's musical heritage.
The Sheffield Tap is Sheffield train station's resident pub and brewery. Though the pub itself is huge, but there are plenty of snugs to get cosy in. Beer is king at the Tap, with brews sourced from around the world.
With two beer fanatics at the helm, The Rutland Arms on Brown Street attracts beer fans from across the city, and it's often standing room only on an evening. With seven hand pumps, two real cider and a fantastic selection of gins, rums, and whiskeys, The Rutland is a great spot for a post-work drink.
With regular meet the brewer events, tasting evenings and the occasional comedy night, it's worth keeping at eye on The Rutland's Facebook page for the latest events.


Coolant Cells are used to store heat within the Nuclear Reactor and Pressure Vessel Reactor.
There are three types of Coolant Cells, each used to craft the next.
When used in a Nuclear Reactor, the Coolant Cell serves simply as a large heat buffer. It does not dissipate heat on its own. It can be placed next to a Uranium Cell to collect heat or next to a Heat Exchanger to release heat.
A Coolant Cell cannot be placed into a Pressure Vessel Reactor until it is completely cool. A cool Coolant Cell can still be used in the Reactor Pressure Vessel as normal. If the Coolant Cell is removed from the Pressure Vessel Reactor, it must be cooled down before it can be used in a fluid reactor again. The Coolant Cell can be cooled by placing it into an EU Nuclear Reactor.
A fully heated Coolant Cell, like most other reactor components, will be destroyed.
Coolant Cells are also used to craft Overclocker Upgrades.

As we steadily collect another set of holiday hats for little reason other than an inexplicable need to collect these things,it's a fair time to look at the next year for Final Fantasy XIV's development. The game launched well, has made some missteps, and the next year is really going to determine how well it can manage over the long term.
I'm not pretending that I have a picture-perfect roadmap for the game over the next year, but I do think there are some pretty obvious things to be addressed. There are gaps to be filled in, systems that could stand to be improved, and more systems that would have a positive effect on retention and play. So let's look at what the next year will hopefully bring other than equine headpieces.
For a game that's been out for about four months now, it's hard to be too harsh on Final Fantasy XIV's endgame, but it's worth noting that item level 90 is increasingly a deal. You get level 80 rewards from Crystal Tower, Artifact +1 is easier to acquire, and Binding Coil of Bahamut is a thing that exists. Our average item level creeps ever upward, and this could cause problems down the line.
This one is obvious. People like having more options for play; let them have those options. Give us more jobs to play around with.
And here's a close cousin to the last point. In fact, I would be happy with no new jobs or classes or whatever for a while if we had a few more options about how our existing classes and jobs play. Right now the only difference between my character and another Scholar in the same gear is character model and whether or not that player chose the handful of cross-class skills that actually matter or not.
Free company housing has been a complete was thus far. There are a handful of companies that have houses, most of which have no need of crafters providing furniture because if you can afford the house, you have people who can make that for you. The prices will be lowered after a great deal of waiting for people who apparently made the very wrong choice to continue playing on servers with invested players. The point is that this whole system has been handled badly from day one.
What do u expect? New classes, new areas, new levels, new story stuff. I'm thinking we're not getting Musketeer until the expansion, and while it might seem obvious, I'd love to see Ishgard open the gates and let people in for the first time since launch.

Hezbollah TV's special Christmas coverage
Hezbollah's Al Manar TV usually covers church services today, but this Christmas seems to be one of the most extensively reported ever.
Services were broadcast on the Islamist channel from several churches, including the Maronite:
Greek Orthodox:
And Roman Catholic:
From big churches in the capital:
To small ones in the countryside:
The theme was coexistence, with Hezbollah delegations visiting church congregations nation-wide:
With a special focus on those located in mixed Muslim-Christian areas:
And intense coverage of outdoor Christian decorations in Hezbollah-dominated southern and Bekaa villages:
Plenty of unveiled church goers interviewed:
Smiles and kisses all around:
But there was more.
Interviews with priests during Al Manar talk shows:
Singing songs about Christ during Al Manar variety shows:
Complete with 70s fade outs:
Quotes from Jesus with booming voice during commercial breaks:
Even a "Holy Mary" music video:
Meanwhile a similar Jesus fest was going in Iran, from top leaders tweets:
May Jesus Christ, Prophet of love & peace, bless us all on this day. Wishing Merry #Christmas to those celebrating, esp Iranian Christians.
— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) December 24, 2013
Jesus #Christ, the Son of #Mary, was a herald of God's grace, blessing &guidance for man. 1/12/1987
— khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) December 24, 2013
May the spirit of Christmas bring joy, peace, empathy and compassion to everyone throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) December 24, 2013
I wanted to see if there was a similar reaction among Muslim-led governments in the region.
But as opposed to the Christmas bonanza going in Iran and Hezbollah–whose leaders have been branded as terrorists by the West– I could find very little about the holidays from Western Muslim allies.
Nothing today from the Saudi news agency:
No Christmas news in Kuwait:
And not a single tweet this week from UAE prince and Dubai leader:
There are thousands of US troops based in these countries, yet isn't it ironic that "enemy" states seem much more focused on the message of religious coexistence than allied ones?

The best sentence in your excellent report.
Habib Battah Dec 26, 2013 at 3:42 pm
Unknown Dec 25, 2013 at 7:57 pm
well, you sort of answered the reason behind this in the end: the Hezb is feeling threatened by what's going on in Syria, and it badly needs to show itself as a potential ally to christians in the regions/the opposite of Sunni extremist intolerance, to keep a certain popular support. Not that I am against the message. but it being overstressed hints at its political goal. Another sunni-shiite competition. Kudos for the Hezb though for being diplomatically smarter.. wish they always compete on who's got the best "good" msg, rather than other stuff.
Unknown, I think you can argue that the coverage is linked to Syria, but I'm not sure that is a bad thing. Wouldn't it be great if this coverage encourages other parties to also broadcast a message of tolerance? One hopes there would be a competition for that.
Alaa Zahra Dec 27, 2013 at 7:44 am
Unknown, thats a good call but I really don't think its the reason at all, people are not this stupid except if they were already supporting the hizib and iran in which case the Christmas stuff has no real effect on gaining minority support at all anyway.
This Report does not stand in support of hizballah and its allies at all… on the contrary it clearly resolves the blunt image ,which is quite frankly insulting, in which they have come to see their supporters and their audience in general.
So lets see; they have never done this before, and now after the turmoil in Syria they suddenly decide to live the spirit of Christmas extensively? Do they really expect the Christians and other neutrals not to be skeptical and feel something wrong here? Do they really think people are this stupid, or are they just becoming like a king whose loosing all his power caused him to frantically (with no sense whatsoever) try to save it by any means necessary? honestly this just fuels the self-righteousness of their own stupid supporters that's it..
Shuja Khan Dec 26, 2018 at 1:05 am
Ridiculous comments by both Alaa Zahra and Unknown. Completely not based in reality. Hezb'Allah's al-Manar did these coverages for purely righteous reasons. Nothing more, nothing less. Hezb'Allah has always kept good relations with all the communities in Lebanon.

Ridiculous comments by unknown and 'Alaa Zahra' (fake name, it's a Jew). Hezb'Allah's pro-peace community is genuine. Hezb'Allah has always had good relations with all the communities of Lebanon.

Interestingly in 2006, the Free Patriotic Movement was holding a mass for the martyrs in St. Georges in downtown. And Al Manar was transmitting it live, but the coverage was cut for the noontime azan. So the Christian hymns were cut to the voice of the Muezzin only to be back with no transition when he finished. It was a bit surrealistic….
Interesting. No shortage of surreal mixes going on!

You are so dumb MR. Unknown, they are not going to show respect to Israel and no Arab nation should either.
I could change my opinion on these reptilians if they did this on the jews.

Apple deliberately deleted songs from customers' iPods that had originated from music services that competed with iTunes between 2007 and 2009, according to reports.
If an iTunes user synced an iPod to iTunes with outside music, an Apple dialog box would show an error message, the The Wall Street Journal reported. The message asked users to restore to factory settings, which would then erase non-iTunes songs.
Perhaps more concerning was that Apple didn't tell users what was going on. An Apple representative told the court that the company didn't "need to give users too much information" and it didn't "want to confuse users." Apple contends the iPod reset was security measure and that it was fearful of hackers infiltrating iTunes through users' computers.
This is all part of a $350 million class-action antitrust lawsuit, which claims Apple, in a calculated move, shut out competing music services by ensuring that iTunes music would play only on iPods and did everything it could to hike up the price of its own products. The money damages could be tripled because of the antitrust classification, according to the Journal's report.
"You guys decided to give them the worst possible experience and blow up" a user's music library, the Journal quotes attorney Patrick Coughlin saying in a California U.S. District Court.
The case has gained a great deal of attention, and not just because of the lurid drama surrounding Apple's iPods. In hearings, a decade-old, yet-unseen video of the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs is expected to be presented as evidence against Apple.

Oprah: Lady in bathroom accused me of not helping Clinton enough
Thu, Mar 02, 2017 - 8:06 AM
Talk-show icon Oprah Winfrey said a woman in a restroom hectored her for not doing enough to help 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
[NEW YORK] Talk-show icon Oprah Winfrey said a woman in a restroom hectored her for not doing enough to help 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Winfrey told the story in the season two premiere of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations" on Bloomberg TV, which was released Wednesday.
After Winfrey recounted how a woman had recently come up to her in a restroom to say how much Winfrey had done for her, Rubenstein, the co-founder of Carlyle Group Inc, asked his fellow billionaire if it's hard to go to the bathroom in public.
"As a matter of fact it was, because there was another lady attacking me because she thought I didn't do enough for Mrs Clinton," Winfrey said.
"So somebody else came out of a stall - this is yesterday - and said, 'Leave Oprah alone, she's just trying to pee.'"

Clinton Endorsement
"And she followed me out talking about what I could have done, should have done, blah blah blah," Winfrey added.
Winfrey endorsed Mrs Clinton, the first female major-party US presidential nominee, in 2016, telling Entertainment Tonight last June that "it's a seminal moment for women". But Winfrey didn't play as prominent a role for Mrs Clinton as she did for Barack Obama in 2008.
"I haven't felt that my voice would actually make a difference," Winfrey told Chicago radio station WBEZ last August.
"I felt that at the time in 2008, my voice made a difference. So at this particular time, I think my voice is just going to be added to the cacophony of all the other voices, and now nobody knows who to even listen to."
To voters who weren't sure they liked Mrs Clinton, Winfrey said in October, "She's not coming over to your house. You don't have to like her."
Oprah for President?
Winfrey appeared to suggest to Rubenstein that she was rethinking whether she could be elected president, after billionaire real-estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump won the White House with no prior government experience.
"I never considered the question, even a possibility," said Winfrey, 63.
"I thought, 'Oh gee, I don't have the experience, I don't know enough.'"
"Now," she said, "I'm thinking, 'Oh.'"
She and the audience laughed. Growing more serious, she added, "No, that won't be happening."

McKinley Q & A: "Our brightest days are still ahead of us"
Chicago. New York. Boston. San Francisco.
And Wheeling?
David McKinley gets a kick out of it when he is invited to speak at financial conferences throughout the country. The host introduces those on the advisory panel at these presentations and often those on stage have traveled from some of America's largest municipalities, but not McKinley.
It proves a point about the world of finance, and it proves a point about the people in the Friendly City.
McKinley is 44 years old, and he's a graduate of Wheeling Park High School (1988) and a 1995 grad of West Liberty University. He is the founder and a principal of McKinley Carter Wealth Services, a firm headquartered in the Centre Market area that has four other office locations in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The firm concentrates on the areas of wealth management, retirement planning, and non-profit advisory services and in 2014, McKinley estimated his firm worked for clients residing in 30 different states, and the company continues to grow. In fact, he expects the firm to be managing more than $1 billion by the end of this year.
McKinley Carter Wealth Services has offices in Wheeling, Charleston, and Parkersburg, W.Va., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Gaithersburg, Md. The firm is led by Managing Principals (l to r) Will W. Carter, JD; David H. McKinley, CFP®; and Brian T. Gongaware, CFP®, CRPC®.
Because he followed his father's advice, McKinley began his career in finance as a bank teller at the former Wheeling Dollar Bank (now Wesbanco), and the ladies with whom he worked taught him to respect the dollar bill. Literally. And that respect for money has traveled far past a properly organized billfold.
Today, his office contains two desks, one at which he sits when meeting with clients, and another at which he stands while researching, communicating with employees at one of the four other locations, and where he constantly refines his vision. McKinley admits he is in the wealth management business because finance intrigued him at an early age. It still does, and that is because it's constantly changing.
He's confident in that vision, and appreciates the team of employees the company has collected. He's proud of his heritage, and he is quick to spread credit to his family members, his co-workers, and his clients. David McKinley is also a big believer in the people of his hometown.
Novotney: Why wealth management as a career?
McKinley: The reality is that it all started with a conversation that I had with my father back in 1987 or so, and he was and is very good friends with Ken Baber. Ken Baber was a long-time stock broker in Wheeling and was my father's advisor, in fact.
When I graduated high school, my father gave me $1,000 to invest, and I bought Proctor & Gamble and Reebok, and that was an interesting. I can't remember all of the specifics, but I also remember it not working out really well. And I learned some things from that experience. One of the things that I observed was that if you do this right, you are essentially engaging in all things around the world. That made me think about everything that takes place around the world and about what impact those things would have on the economy and financial markets, and ultimately, families.
It made it all very interesting to me so I began to explore it. I wasn't exactly sure what it was I wanted to do and that's when Dad said, "Wheeling Dollar Bank has seven different floors and there's all kinds of different departments in there, so why don't you just see if you can get a job there." He thought I could work my way around the company and feel it out, so that's what I did. I was on the teller line for six months. That was the minimum time before you could bid for a different job.
To this day, 25 years later, I still have a respect for currency that I was taught by the ladies on the teller line. They taught me how to take care of currency and respect money, and that's something I still have in my mind today. It's actually painful for me when I see someone at a restaurant pull out a disorganized wad of bills — I just think it's disrespectful to treat money that way."
Novotney: Obviously, you did not remain on that teller line with those ladies.
McKinley: That's right. Six months later I had the chance to bid for a job in another department, and everyone knew that I had an interest in investments, and yes, an entry level job opened up in the investment department. I bid for that job, earned it, and didn't leave the bank until 1996. I learned a lot about investment analysis and portfolio management. Jerry Schmitt was my mentor during those days and I really enjoyed my experiences with him. He intrigued me about the business so much that I knew it would be my future.
That's also when I realized how few people really understand the mechanism of money and how it works. Earnings, savings, investing … how do you put it all together and how do you forecast its growth to ensure long term success?
My point is that most people don't take the time to understand finance, and I realized that I could assemble a team of people that were unbiased, experienced, and unaffiliated with big investment firms to sit down and work with people. They could help people really understand their finances and their retirement goals and guide them to make the right choices for their futures. That's when I started building the team that would ultimately become McKinley Carter Wealth Services.
The exterior of the preserved and renovated Bennett Square in the Centre Market area of the Friendly City. The McKinley Carter firm is located on the third floor. The structure was originally built in 1911 by the Board of Education as a new location for Wheeling's library.
Novotney: In 12 years, since the firm's founding, McKinley Carter has grown into the top registered investment advisory firm in West Virginia managing more than $800 million in client assets, and you are doing it from Wheeling, W.Va.?
McKinley: I love being able to do this from Wheeling, W.Va. I am invited frequently to go to speak at different industry events with panels with peers from firms located in major metropolitan areas like Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and… Wheeling, W.Va.
We can do it. We can compete. Wheeling people have competed in the past, and quite frankly the way technology has been changing the world allows us to compete more effectively than we ever did before. We have offices in five different cities, and I am sure we will expand beyond that, and the reason that is happening is because of the way we connect everybody through technology.
We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to stay updated with the technology, and it enables us to make the most of the people we have working for us, wherever they may be located.
When I think of growth, I look at it like this…Growth means to me that we are expanding our team, deepening our level of expertise, so we have more people who we can call upon to help advise and serve our clients. A third of our employees deals with all of the business operations – portfolio accounting, trading, human resources, finance and accounting, marketing, etc… and supports our advisory team from a centralized location in Wheeling. This "hub" of back-office operations allows the rest of our employees, the advisory team, to focus directly on the needs of our clients.
Novotney: What are your thoughts about the percentage of people who are saving for the future and not just spending for today and today only?
McKinley: We live in a consumption-oriented society, are overwhelmed with marketing messages, and there is standard or an expectation of what life is supposed to look like. Television does a lot these days to frame that up – and the reality is not everyone can afford the lifestyle that is deemed to be normal. It's difficult, and you have to do the math to be able to know what you have to be able to save for the future, finding an appropriate balance of current and future needs.
At least half of the population has never done any planning and it troubles me. After observing for 25 years national statistics on saving, investing, and retirement preparedness, it is clear how important our work is to clients. We try our best to allow people to see models for how to achieve success as they define it and give them the tools, showing them how they can build sufficiently large portfolios to support themselves and their family through retirement.
But, we also realize we can't individually counsel everyone in our communities, so we invest a lot of our time and energy in designing effective group retirement plans like 401(k) plans which allow us to help thousands more people.
Novotney: Are there pressures which you must handle because of your family name, and because there happens to be a David McKinley in the United States House of Representatives?
McKinley: I am eighth-generation West Virginian. I joke with people that my roots are so deep that I can't imagine leaving here. I think that my family's history here in Wheeling, in Weston, and in Parkersburg is important, and I think people see us as stable, reputable, trustworthy people who are committed to our community. As a whole, I think it's very positive.
McKinley has two desks in his spacious office — one at which he sits down with clients, and this stand-up version.
Novotney: McKinley Carter has become the largest wealth management firm in West Virginia and your company is close to an important landmark.
McKinley: If not this year, next year we will break through a billion dollars under management, and that's awesome. In 2003, I did not quite know yet what all was possible. At that time, I just knew I had to leave the brokerage business. The inherent conflicts of interest that existed between the advisor, the firm, and clients were sufficiently large, I knew there must be a better way so I began to explore other options and established a fee-only registered investment advisory firm that operated under a fiduciary standard, requiring us to always work in our clients' interests.
I really like the team we have assembled, but one thing I can say for sure is that the firm is bigger than any one person and I can see a lot of possibilities over the next 10 to 15 years. As we've grown, we expanded the "bench" with additional capabilities and, of course, capacity to service clients. With nearly 40 employees with complementary backgrounds and experiences, there aren't many issues we can't confidently address with our clients.
Novotney: The value of the dollar is much different today than when we were kids growing up in Wheeling. How has the value of the dollar impacted what it is you do for a living?
McKinley: There are two ways to interpret that – inflation adjustments, and the relationship with foreign currencies.
As far as inflation adjustments, I think it was Ben Franklin who said, "There are two things you cannot avoid – death and taxes", and I might throw in inflation, too. That's just the way it works. We must invest to produce sufficiently high returns to outpace inflation. For years now, depositing money in CDs at banks hasn't produced enough return to get ahead of inflation. People must either save a lot more or be willing to make investments.
We are anticipating inflation to percolate again. I serve on an advisory board for the Cleveland Federal Reserve and talk frequently about what that looks like. To avoid inflation in the coming years as the economy strengthens, it is very likely that interest rates will start to rise this year and will probably rise for the next two or three years. This will be a delicate balance of finding the appropriate level for rates, allowing to remain low enough to continue stimulating the economy and not so high that they put the brakes on the economy. We need to keep growth, inflation, and employment at reasonable levels.
Inflation has been relatively modest in recent years, but if inflation returns to normal, the cost of living should double every 20-25 years.
The second thing is more concerning to me less as an investor but more as an American – the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currency. When the value of the dollar declines we are better able to compete in the exporting business and is good for our manufacturing sector. But, as with current conditions, a strong dollar is great for importing and makes it more difficult for U.S. manufactured goods to remain competitively priced globally. The strong dollar is likely to put additional pressure on the already depressed domestic manufacturing sector.
David McKinley discusses wealth management strategies with investment counselor Jay Hunt.
Novotney: Please tell me about your work with the Cleveland Federal Reserve and with the West Virginia Investment Management Board.
McKinley: For the last 6-7 years I have been a trustee of the West Virginia Investment Management Board and an advisory council member to the Cleveland Federal Reserve. As not many people know what the West Virginia Investment Management Board does, I'll share a short explanation:
Appointed by the Governor in May 2009, I serve as one of 10 trustees of the State's IMB with fiduciary responsibility for approximately $18 billion of State pension and other assets. The fund is now recognized as one of the country's best managed and performing public funds because of its well-designed structure, both through the statute and the policies which have been implemented, and its people, from trustees to staff to its vendors.
My work with the Federal Reserve began in 2009 and represents one of about a dozen people from one of the 80 targeted markets throughout the country. We meet with officers of the Federal Reserve two or three times a year sharing regional economic insights which are aggregated and shared with the presidents of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks to represent the interests of the U.S. population and influence the policies and actions of the Federal Reserve. This role, considering the level of Federal Reserve influence over our economy, has been very important and impactful in the last few years.
I am honored to serve in these roles and believe I've made a positive impact to both organizations and their missions.
Novotney: McKinley Carter is not your only concentration. You also founded and own a company called Willow Glen Capital. Tell me about that company.
McKinley: My whole career has centered on investments and financial advice. I, like a lot of our clients and people in our community, recognize that we have a lot of clients who would like to invest in our community and our region. My mission when I formed Willow Glen Capital about five years ago was to create a new investment opportunity for our clients and the people in this community. I wanted it to be regionally focused. I wanted to use this company to acquire, aggregate, and operate companies within certain platforms. At the moment we are concentrated on IT consulting and engineering businesses and in the last four years have acquired three under the brand Omni Strategic Technologies.
The intent in this first phase is to produce sufficiently high investment returns so we can attract outside investors who would want to be a part of our next pool. There are a lot of possibilities that would be good for our region and very good for the local economy. And it could be a good investment for our investors. That's the mission, and I just need to do it long enough to produce that sufficient high return so that people want in.
Everything I have done has been with a focus on creating employment opportunities in our community – either founding and investing in businesses or acquiring and growing existing companies. I am tired of seeing our community's economy and population decrease and am committed to making a difference here.
McKinley stops by to chat with McKinley Carter assistant Kelly Saunders.
Novotney: So you are working hard for our community, as well?
McKinley: We are at a point of transition and if you think about what is happening with the demographics in our area and throughout the country, we have a Baby Boomer generation of business owners that are thinking about their next phase in life. We have the Baby Boomers, the Gen Xers, and the Millenials, and there's a gap. We have a relatively small group of Gen Xers that are here to assume responsibility as people move through their careers. No longer is it a matter of putting it back on the Baby Boomers by saying, "You know what they ought to do." Now we're having to ask ourselves, "What do we need to do?"
It's time for us, the Gen Xers, to get more involved, and I think it is a good time for that to happen. The demographics of this area, in our state, and in our country are ripe for this. On one side, we have business owners that are thinking about their exit or plans to retire, and on the other side we have investors who often have frustrations with the public markets. People recognize that direct business ownership is what really creates wealth and, in my opinion, marketable securities are tools to preserve wealth and its buying power.
Novotney: Tell me the history of Willow Glen.
McKinley: The reason I named the newest company Willow Glen Capital was out of respect for my great-grandfather, Johnson Camden McKinley. He was quite a guy. He died years before I was born, but I have spent a good amount of time studying his career and history. He was primarily a coal operator, but made a lot of other investments creating a lot of employment in our area. He had an ice plant, airplane and furniture manufacturing companies, distributed electrical signs, and others. He was invested in many companies at the time of his death at just 51. It's so impressive what he was able to do at that time.
The house that he built around 1920 was named, "Willow Glen," so out of respect for him, I called the company Willow Glen Capital. Five generations of the McKinley family have lived in that house and it remains in our family today.
Like my grandfather and so many in our family, I have a lot of respect for the city of Wheeling and its history of growth, success and the impact our people have had on our country in years past. I believe our brightest days are still ahead of us and am one of many in our community committed to helping us achieve it.

8 things you can do for World AIDS Day
November 15, 2010 in Campus Initiatives, Global Development, Global Health | Tags: events, HIV/AIDS, World AIDS Day | by PritiG | Leave a comment
33 million people live with HIV/AIDS worldwide – 2.1 million die each year and 2.7 million more are infected.
What will you do this World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day began on December 1, 1988 and has since been recognized around the world each year. It has become a key opportunity to increase awareness, fight against prejudice, commemorate the lives lost to the disease, and celebrate the victories in increased access to services and treatment.
This year's World AIDS Day theme is 'Universal Access and Human Rights,' which offers the opportunity to recognize that despite the strides, the most marginalized and vulnerable populations still do not have access to the care and services they need – that access is their human right. The review of the Millennium Development Goals this past September reminded us of the goal to achieve universal access and World AIDS Day is another moment to remind policymakers, parents, teachers, and friends alike that we have lots to do to achieve universal access and protect human rights.
Do something this World AIDS Day. Whether you have a lot or a little time, we have just the way for you to get involved:
I care about the issue but don't think I have time to plan an event.
I can whip up something quick, send me a free kit!
Bring it on! I'll organize a film screening for World AIDS Day, send me a free kit!

Some people say that slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The truth is that there are more slaves in America in modern times, than during the Civil War. Modern slavery has a new name. That name is human trafficking.
Human trafficking is defined by the Trafficking Protocol of 2000 as "a criminal activity in which people are recruited, harboured, transported, bought, or kidnapped to serve an exploitative purpose, such as sexual slavery, forced labor, or child soldiery." As one can see, there are many different faces of human trafficking. The most prevalent cases of human trafficking that exist in America are sex trafficking cases. Most of these cases involve young girls involved in prostitution.
Contrary to popular belief, there are cases of trafficking that happen in the heartland of the United States. A lot of these cases are never brought to justice. However, in 2009, the U.S. Attorney's Office launched a sting operation called"Operation Guardian Angel" and there were several cases that took place in Kansas so it is obvious that a task force would be a need for a task force in Kansas.
Also in the same article, it was mentioned that there is no official task force like there are in other states in the U.S. where human trafficking is prevalent such asColorado, California, Florida,Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. There are many arguments that can be made about population sizes of the cities in these states compared to Kansas, but I can counter each argument with Craigslist Trafficking that happens all over Kansas and the long stretch of I-70 that runs through Kansas. Also, since the overall population of Kansas is low, Kansas is arguably a terrific place for human trafficking because of the remoteness of the state.
There should be a task force in Kansas. Where is a more perfect place to start a task force than Manhattan, KS? We have four student organizations at Kansas State University who are active in the movement. We have over 25 individuals dedicated to the issue and professors who have done research on trafficking on a local, national, and global level. This petition will prove that the community wants Kansas to get involved in ending the most hideous of crimes committed in the world.
Another reason you should care: All of us, even Kansans, contribute to human trafficking by buying consumer goods that are made by underpaid workers who are often maltreated. Most of the time these workers are children.
Most importantly and the reason you all should care: We had a student at Kansas State University who was kidnapped, gang-raped, and trafficked at Fort Riley. I think that this alone should warrant a prevention movement.
The task force would provide prevention educational programs, research on the issue, awareness event-planning, community action and outreach, and it would provide jobs for the community. There are many benefits for launching something like this in our town!
Please help us join the fight and show that Kansas cares!

AIDemocracy Activism in Kansas Fall 2010 – RC Kristen Tebow
November 1, 2010 in Campus Initiatives, Global Health, Human Rights and Social Justice | by ktebow | Leave a comment
This semester has been exceedingly progressive at Kansas State University with new advocates and activists coming out of the woodwork. In September, I collaborated with other local shelters and organizations to put on a very successful "Take Back the Night" event in Lawrence, KS.
http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/news/local_news/abuse-victims-rally-awareness-in-lawrence
October was a busy month! We supported a fellow organization on campus, Coalition, who put on a Rave to Save to raise money for Zindagi Trust, an organization working to aid refugees affected by the flooding in Pakistan. Together, with other organizations on campus, including members of KSUAID, they raised over $700 for the cause.
Also this month, we put on our CARE 2010 MDG event. We showed the short film "Baht" and invited a fellow professor, Nadia Shapkina, from KSU to speak on the issue of Global Gender Inequality and how it prevents women from entering into the workforce in their own countries forcing them to find jobs in other countries and makes them 10 times more vulnerable to human trafficking situations. It was a very successful event with no spending and we had many students, community members, and even students from other campuses (and even Missouri and Florida) attend the event. The official headcount was 83 people in attendance. By the end of the film, we had people leave before questions, but it was a very interactive audience with numerous questions. Pictures are coming soon!
We are currently planning two major events, as well as several fundraisers for these events. These events will be happening on K-State's campus in Manhattan, KS.
For the first event, we are planning on showing the film "Blood Diamonds" and providing alternative options for buying Read the rest of this entry »
The Challenge of Civil Military Balance in Iraq and Afghanistan: event re-cap

I'm not a dedicated reader of astrological forecasts. The only times I do peruse the horoscope section is on crowded early morning trains into Boston, when it's a toss-up between looking at what my future holds or staring into some guy's adam's apple.
Three days before the global peace & security event I organized in Bristol, RI on March 31st, I read my horoscope. It said, "watch out for difficulties ahead. Those in event management, public office and students must take special care."
I'm a student. I was planning an awareness event on civil military balance and refugee crisis in Iraq and Afghanistan. Did I mention it was a rainy day I read that horoscope on?
On March 31st, there was still a state of emergency declared in RI. Immense flooding, historical amounts of rainfall, water damage and traffic issues affected everyone in the state. One of my panelists found a river in his back yard! Other speakers found it hard to get to the event, what with road blocks and diversions.
Which made it all the more a miracle when the event turned out to be a success!

Visit from Nigerian and Jamaican youth generates student activism at the University of Missouri
April 4, 2010 in Campus Initiatives, Global Health | by josephbeeman | 3 comments
A few weeks ago, on Wednesday, March 24, fifty students at the University of Missouri attended an International Reproductive Health Forum that I organized in collaboration with Americans for Informed Democracy and Advocates for Youth as part of the International Youth Speak Out Project. It was co-hosted by the Feminist Student Union, American Association of Women (AAUW) MU Affiliate and BODYTALK (an e-zine I started last fall) and featured two international reproductive health activists from Nigeria and Jamaica, Fadekemi Akinfaderin and Maxsalia Salmon (respectively).
Fadekemi and Maxsalia are actively working in their countries to mobilize their peers, lobby policy makers and speak at various international conferences to address issues of young people's sexual and reproductive health and rights. They screened a short documentary that illustrated the state of reproductive health in their own countries and then led a discussion about the film and about the importance of US-based youth activism in ensuring young people's access to reproductive health and family planning programs internationally. After the forum ended, a brief advocacy training was held for a small group of Mizzou students to prepare them for a lobbying visit at Senator Christopher Bond's office. The following day, the student lobbying group asked for Senator Bond's support of the $1 billion appropriation for international family planning and for sponsorship of a Senate companion bill to the Global Sexual and Reproductive Health Act of 2010, which is expected to be introduced in April by Representative Yvette Clark.
The forum showcased the interconnections of youth from abroad and youth from the United States. Despite our geographical distance, it illustrated that we are united by our experience of fighting for bodily autonomy as young people and that our activism for just global reproductive health policies will impact youth from all over the world. The forum also demystified the process of lobbying and demonstrated how simple (not to mention, how important) it is to take political action as a young person. I had never visited a legislator on the state or national level, and I found the experience exciting, empowering and even a little addictive. The two days were completely inspiring and were a terrific way to wrap up school just before Spring Break. For more information, listen to the radio broadcast on KBIA, the local NPR station, or read the article published in The Missourian, the local student-run community newspaper.
IYSO Tour Makes the Local News!

On Monday, March 22nd, the International (Reproductive Health) Youth Speak Out Tour, sponsored by AIDemocracy's Global Health Program and Advocates for Youth, arrived at Western Kentucky University. After a day of raising awareness on campus, WKU students traveled to the William H. Natcher Federal Building to pay a visit to Senator Mitch McConnell. Their activism garnered some exciting local news coverage. Check out the article and accompanying video here:
Students Join Together for the Cause
from WBKO.com – Bowling Green's local news affiliate
Western Kentucky University students join youth activists from Nigeria and Jamaica to spread the word about youth sexual and reproductive rights.
The students paid a visit to Senator Mitch McConnell in order to increase U.S funding for global reproductive health to raise awareness of an everyday problem
Both youth activists and WKU students say this meeting has the potential to do alot of great things.
"And to show you its all over the states actually, we're quite similar and there's a need, there's a need to create awareness with these issues," said Maxsalia Salmon, a youth activist.
"Well this is definitely just the beginning so we had the event now we engaged some students, hopefully the students will follow-up with us," said Matt Vaughn, WKU Junior. "And we can have a meeting like this."
The activists will continue their journey to eight more states after leaving Kentucky.

The Middle East+South Asia Link

For me, being a Regional Coordinator at AIDemocracy involves putting together awareness, advocacy and action events in the context of global peace & security– my program area of choice.
Having grown up in Oman and India, I learned early that peace and security go hand in hand, chicken AND egg, both at the same time. I also learned that without development, peace and security measures often died still-born. According to Noeleen Heyzer,
"Peace is the absence of war, but beyond that peace is a commodity unlike any other. Peace is security. Peace is a mindset. Peace is a way of living. Peace is the capacity to transcend past hurts — to break cycles of violence and forge new pathways that say, "I would like to make sure we live as a community where there is justice, security, and development for all members." At the end of the day, peace is an investment; it is something you create by investing in a way of life and monitoring where your resources go."
An investment. Gandhi once said, "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread."
I believe the same holds true for human security: how can you worry about democratic processes, the global significance of the war in Iraq or climate change if you don't have access to clean running water, if your government changes every 8 months or if you have to bribe your way into a school or a job?
University of Missouri Talks About Sex
December 11, 2009 in Campus Initiatives, Global Health | Tags: Gender, global health action, international youth speak out tour, sexual and reproductive health, zine | by josephbeeman | Leave a comment
It was the beginning of my fifth and final year at the University of Missouri, I had just tacked on a new major, and the majority of my friends had graduated and moved away. How was I going to take an active role in my new department; how was I going to fill this new void in my social calendar; and importantly, how was I going to get a better grip on what I wanted to do after graduation (because this time around I planned to actually do so)? I could… launch a 'zine. A sexy 'zine. Yeah! A 'zine on sexuality and reproductive health, if executed well, would be a seemingly perfect way to engage my peers in a collaborative project that was interesting, meaningful and activating. It would also allow me to explore my interest of sexual and reproductive health. And even better: I may even build a new friendship or two (or thirty).
So, that's what I did. Last month, I launched an e-zine called BODYTALK at the University of Missouri. BODYTALK is a completely student produced publication that focuses on issues of sexuality, bodies, and reproductive health and is rooted in the belief that cooperative, judgment-free discussion of our own experiences is key to achieving equality and freedom.
The first issue was entitled The Virgin Issue and aimed to start near the beginning of students' sexual narratives with their first sexual experiences (whether they have had one or not). The next issue, The Medical Issue, is scheduled to release this week and encompasses experiences in which sexuality/sexual bodies and medicine intersect.
Coming Together for Farmworkers' Rights

Students at the University of Florida are working to help farmworkers battle for fair wages and basic human rights.

Migrant worker Jorge Rodriguez plays the "quijada," in Immokalee, Fla. Farmworkers celebrated the recent decision by Taco Bell to accede to the demands of local tomato pickers, who led a four-year boycott against the restaurant chain, and pay a penny more for each pound of Florida tomatoes. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)
As we made the four-hour journey south to tomato-town Immokalee, Fla., we ran through the itinerary for the long weekend to come and familiarized ourselves with the 40-plus pages of reading material that we were supposed to have completed three weeks before. The thick packet of literature included stories like "Immokalee family sentenced for slavery," "Apartheid in America," and "A more-complete definition of 'sustainable.'" By the time we arrived in the desolate town, just after midnight, we felt confident in our school-child ability to recite the labor history of this town and felt briefed on the ultimate reason for our visit.
After becoming fed up with the impoverished condition that enslaved them, migrant workers started a grassroots organization called the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) in 1993. Consisting mostly of people from Mexico, Guatemala, and Haiti, these workers had already experienced both verbal and physical abuses since their arrival in the United States. Most of them could remember a time when, back in their own countries, they survived as subsistence farmers—selling crops and living off corn, squash, beans, and, most important, their own autonomy. They weren't rich, but they were dignified.
But after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was established among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, these small-time farmers could not compete with subsidized crops from the States. Before, Mexico was a major wheat exporter. Now, Mexico only exports cheap labor.
Lupe Fiasco Gets Political

The hip-hop heavyweight is on a college tour, though audiences should expect to hear more weighty rhetoric than witty rhymes.
Cross-post by Delaney Rohan, Campus Progress
Laying his rap talents aside for an evening, critically-acclaimed hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco gave George Washington University students a lesson in history this week. But unlike what's taught in closed-door college classrooms, this lesson belonged to anyone who would listen.
Facing a darkened auditorium of over 100 students, Fiasco, drenched in a spotlight, began the evening by reading a now exalted speech Muhammad Ali once made in protest of the Vietnam War.
Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I'm not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over.
Nearly 40 years later—with America still mired in Iraq, the Obama Administration contemplating sending 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, and nearly 50 million people lacking access to health care –Ali's message remained emotionally relevant.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE official: these are the specs, prices and release
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has surfaced in dozens of rumors in recent months, but now the device has been officially unveiled. The 'Fan Edition' is the successor to the Galaxy S20 FE and a slimmed-down version of the standard S21. The phone is from 11 January for sale in the Netherlands and costs 749 euros. The new Samsung smartphone has had a long wait. The Galaxy S21 FE appears almost a year after the S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra and would have been postponed several times. Basically, the new Fan Edition is similar to its predecessor: the smartphone grabs the most important specifications of the normal S21 and puts it in an affordable jacket.

"Nokia smartphones get longer updates (if you pay for them)"
The longer a manufacturer supports its smartphones in software, the better. Nokia has been known for its strong update policy for many years. The company may want to reaffirm this reputation. The Nokia X10 and X20 have been receiving updates and security patches for three years now, but a fourth year may be added soon. That sounds good, but it's not too early. You will only receive this extra year of updates if you pay for it. NokiaPowerUser discovered that a number of European retailers will soon be offering patch support vouchers for the X10 and X20. These vouchers cost about 25 euros.

OnePlus 10 Pro specifications officially announced: this is noticeable
Earlier this week, the manufacturer officially announced the OnePlus 10 Pro design, now the first specifications follow. The device appears to have a 5000 mAh battery and has a 32 megapixel selfie camera and three cameras on the back. They have resolutions of 48, 50 and 8 megapixels. The cameras were developed in collaboration with Hasselblad, which also collaborated on the cameras of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro. The OnePlus 10 Pro gets an OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. However, the screen size still keeps OnePlus in check. Depending on the physical dimensions of the smartphone (16.3 by 7.4 by 0.85 centimeters), the screen appears to be about the same size as the OnePlus 9 Pro (6.7 inches).

Motorola Introduces Android Auto Wireless Adapter
Motorola comes with a nice announcement for Android Car lovers. The company presents the MA1, an adapter that allows you to use the wireless version of Android Auto. You can use it easily and quickly in cars that do not support Android Auto Wireless by default. Please note that the car you want to use wirelessly does support the wired version of the software. Several of these dongles already exist, but this is the first to be promoted by Google. The device costs $ 90 and has been available in US stores since early February. It is still unclear whether the MA1 will also come to Europe.

Sony TVs have Google TV: streaming without media player
Sony announces new televisions in various series at CES Electronics Fair. The formats, technical specifications and advisory prices vary widely. Well, all the TVs on Google TV, the new smart TV software from – you guessed it – Google. Google TV is the successor to Android TV, the software installed on older TVs from Sony, Philips and Xiaomi, among others. The Google TV software is more modern, needs to work more smoothly, and puts more emphasis on watching movies and series through streaming services. Good to know is that the home screen of Google TV shows standard personalized ads in the form of movies and series that you might find interesting.

Do you feel called to bring care and healing to the people of the developing world? We are looking for hardworking individuals who believe change is possible not just for a week, but for a lifetime.
Several times a year, OneWorld Health sends teams of short-term medical and non-medical volunteers to serve the communities surrounding our project sites. During the development phases of our medical centers, these teams provide consistent care to the region, build a foundation of quality care and advocate for the clinic that is to come. Once our medical centers are in operation, these teams support the centers by continuing to provide quality care, training and patient referrals. OneWorld Health's short-term trips pave the way for the success of our long-term projects.
OneWorld Health's short-term trips pave the way for the success of our long-term projects, while leaving no volunteer the same upon their return home.
OneWorld Health is changing the nature of short-term medical missions. Our weeklong experiences provide a unique, impactful cultural and educational experience for our volunteers. Through implementing the same short-term experience across all project sites, we are able to see long-term, sustainable effects that serve the ultimate good.
Each day begins with a devotion.
OneWorld Health is inspired by Jesus Christ to serve people in desperate situations, and we believe starting the day with a reflection on his example gives purpose and clarity to our efforts. The local church is a conduit for change in the communities where we are serving. Recognizing this, we have strong in-country partnerships with local Christian ministries who will accompany our teams to medical outreach and provide prayer and counseling to our patients.
Each day ends with a dinner to celebrate our accomplishments of the day, encourage one another and share life stories with our team.
Tour the medical center or future medical center site and meet our amazing local staff.
Conduct medical outreach in the villages surrounding our permanent medical center. Our volunteers are incredibly valuable in fulfilling different clinic roles such as working with the registration, provider or pharmacy teams. These medical outreaches refer patients, promote our permanent medical center and continue setting a precedent for quality healthcare throughout the region.
Fun-day activity specific to the region to celebrate our accomplishments.

Federation of Somali Journalists Condemns Arrest of TV Reporter In Buurhakaba
Feb 12th 2020 · 1 min read
Federation of Somali Journalists (FESOJ), condemns the unlawful and unwarranted arrest and detention of Journalist Hussien Alio Gesey on Tuesday by Buurhakaba District Police Command for alleged ties with text the reporter posted on his Facebook where he made a comparison between the security situation in Diinsoor district at the moment and the years back.
According to journalist colleagues in Buurhakaba who requested not be named due to their security, the reporter Hussien Alio Gesey who works with Five Somali TV based in Nairobi received a phone call from Buurhakaba District Commissioner Abdi Mohamed Ahmed who ordered him to go to the police station very quickly, without hesitation, when journalist Hussien asked the DC why he was going to the police station, he told him he would be arrested from an order issued by the Minister of Interior in South West State, Mr. Mohamed Abdukar Abdi and at around 9am this morning the reporter went to the police station where he still detained, journalist colleagues confirmed.
Buurhakaba District Commissioner Mr. Abdi Mohamed Ahmed has separately confirmed on the phone to FESOJ the detention of journalist Hussien Alio Gesey in Buurhakaba after the journalist reported what the District Commissioner described as false news and unfounded information.
South West State authorities must respect journalist's right to report the real situations on the ground in South West State in order media people can perform their journalistic work without fear of any restrictions," said Mohamed Ibrahim Moalimuu, FESOJ Secretary-General. "This treatment meted out to a member of FESOJ is not acceptable. It constitutes a violation of journalists' rights and shows a repressive attitude against a professional journalist who is only doing his job just because he made a comparison for location in different periods. "We demand Hussien's immediate and unconditional release. This situation must end.
Journalists should be able to report the facts where they are, otherwise it would be a challenge for journalists to provide the necessary information and facts the public need to now" Moalimuu added.
The South West State in Somalia, was for many years one of the states in which journalists coukld operate freely and without any restrictions or abuses, so we are requesting that to be restored, President of FESOJ Abaadir Abdulakadir Elmi said. FESOJ calls on all Member States and the Federal Government to fully guarantee freedom of media, enshrined by the Somalia Provisional Constitution, and end the arbitrary arrests of journalists.
