Elizabeth J. Dale has received funding from the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation via Indiana University, and The Giving USA Foundation for her research on philanthropy. The views expressed in this essay are strictly her own and do not reflect policy stances of Seattle University.
The author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott announced on Dec. 15 that she had given almost US$4.2 billion to hundreds of nonprofits. It was her second announcement of this kind since she first publicly discussed her giving intentions in May of 2019.
In July 2020, Scott revealed that she'd already given away nearly $1.7 billion to 116 organizations, many of which focused on racial justice, women's rights, LGBTQ equality, democracy and climate change. All told, her 2020 philanthropy totals more than $5.8 billion. Scott directed her latest round of giving to 384 organizations to support people disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She made dozens of gifts to food banks, United Way chapters, YMCAs and YWCAs – organizations that have seen increased demand for services and, in some cases, declines in philanthropic gifts.

In the two blog posts she has written to break the news, Scott has encouraged donors of all means to join her, whether those gifts are money or time.
Previously married to Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, the philanthropist announced in July that from now on she'll be using her middle name as her new last name. She left it up to the causes she's funding to reveal precise totals for each gift.
Morgan State University and Virginia State University, two of several historically Black colleges and universities receiving her donations, said these were the biggest gifts they'd ever gotten from an individual donor. A number of her gifts are also funding tribal colleges as well as community colleges.
As a scholar of philanthropy, I believe that Scott is modeling five best practices for social change giving.
1. Don't attach strings
All of Scott's gifts – many in the millions or tens of millions, like the $30 million she gave Hampton University and the $40 million to the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, which advocates for and builds affordable housing – were made without restrictions. Rather than specify a purpose, as many large donors do, Scott made it clear that she trusts the organizations' leaders by providing absolute flexibility in terms of how to use her money to pursue their missions. This hands-off approach gives nonprofits an unusual amount of freedom to innovate while equipping them to weather crises like the coronavirus pandemic without stringent restrictions imposed by donors.
2. Champion representation
According to Scott, 91% of the racial equity organizations she funded in her initial round of massive giving, such as the Movement for Black Lives and LatinoJustice, are run by leaders of color. All of the LGBTQ equity organizations, such as the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Transgender Law Center, that she's backing are led by LGBTQ leaders. And 83% of the gender equity organizations, such as the Indian nonprofit Educate Girls, are run by women. She says this approach brings "lived experience to solutions for imbalanced social systems." Backing groups led by people directly affected by an issue is a common tenet of social justice giving at a time when organizations led by people of color receive less funding than white-led groups.
In addition, some of her other gifts to grassroots organizations like Southerners on New Ground, an LGBTQ community-organizing nonprofit, and Southern Partners Fund direct support to a region of the U.S. that is often overlooked by donors and foundations.

3. Act first, talk later
Rather than making lengthy announcements about her plans, Scott chose to distribute this money rapidly and directly. Unlike philanthropic peers like Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, or Bill and Melinda Gates, Scott's first round of giving wasn't channeled through a large-scale foundation or other entity, like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, bearing her own name or that of another billionaire. And when she made her public announcement, the gifts were already made.
4. Don't obsess about scale
Many of the organizations receiving these gifts are relatively small in scale and lack widespread name recognition. The multiracial justice group Forward Together and the Campaign for Female Education, a global aid group often called CAMFED, for example, until recently operated on annual budgets of $5.5 million or less, while the Millennial Action Project had an even smaller budget.
5. Leverage more than money
Philanthropy that's intended to bring about social change inherently expresses the donor's values, Scott acknowledged in her announcement. She also recognized her immense privilege, highlighting the need to address societal structures that sustain inequality. And like the many women donors I've interviewed and studied, she is using her position as the world's second-wealthiest woman to amplify the voices of the leaders and groups she supported. Her goal is to encourage others to give, join or volunteer to support those same causes.
As Scott noted, the issues her philanthropy addresses are complex and will require sustained and broad-based efforts to solve.

Horrors of heroin
Recovering addict tells story
Kim Fundingsland
kfundingsland@minotdailynews.com
Kim Fundingsland/MDN Methadone is a liquid dispensed in a small cup. It is a synthetic opiod used in the treatment of addicts.
The cost of getting high was $1,000 a day. Every hit was followed by the constant need to do it again and find the money, by any means, to make it possible.
"I'd grab what I could and get to work," said Bobby. "It didn't come with instructions. I knew it was bad."
Bobby, a name used here by request so as not to reveal the person's identity, detailed his story to the Minot Daily News. Following a five-year heroin habit he is now on the road to recovery. This story tells about the power of heroin, offers glimpses into Minot's drug community and, finally, outlines treatment that is available to addicts like Bobby who are desperate to break from their downward spiral toward prison or death.
"When they say you are powerless over heroin, you truly are. A lot of people have just given up," said Bobby. "I tried my hardest to quit. I've had 8 or 9 treatments, some of them court ordered. I even locked myself in a room. After 12 days of being sick and finally getting over it, in three or four days I was using again."
Bobby is not alone in Minot. He says there are lots of Minot residents who are addicted to heroin. He has seen them. Some addicts wear blue jeans. Others suits and ties.
Kim Fundingsland/MDN Connie Tyler, left, is the clinical coordinator at Community Medical Services of Minot, also known as the methadone clinic. About 140 clients are currently enrolled at the clinic, a number Tyler says is just the "tip of the iceberg."
"It's like every family has one now, on the opiates. It's not just some kid wanting to go out and party. They come from every type of family," explained Bobby.
A point is one-tenth of a gram and enough heroin to satisfy beginning users for several days. But that changes as the body begins to build up a tolerance for the drug and users must up the amount of heroin they use to avoid becoming very sick.
Bobby said his habit eventually led to him taking three points of heroin just to get out of bed in the morning. He would take much more throughout the day. As the amount of heroin he needed to avoid painful withdrawal increased, so too did the cost of using the drug.
A typical price for a point of heroin in Minot, said Bobby, is about $60. Elsewhere, such as on the West Coast, heroin sells for about $5 a gram. That makes bringing heroin into the Minot region a very profitable undertaking. One dealer told Bobby he could easily make $40,000 in two weeks.
"He said you'll have every single little girl after you," said Bobby. "It's crazy."
"People don't realize the severity of drugs that are being trafficked in from other states to Minot and North Dakota in general," said Connie Tyler, clinical coordinator at Community Medical Services of Minot where addicts are treated on a daily basis. "We currently service 140 clients. We anticipate that there is a couple thousand in the city that we're not reaching. We're not even reaching the tip of the iceberg for what's going on in Minot right now."
To get the money needed to buy drugs addicts will do virtually anything under the powerful influence of heroin and the need for more.
"People who I thought were friends would steal from me," explained Bobby. "They will steal everything from you and I mean everything. They'll take anything and then there's the games they play thinking they are so clever. I found myself doing it."
A number of thefts from homes and businesses in Minot have been linked to suspected drug users. Typically they'll steal items in the hope of selling them to get money to pay for their next hit of heroin.
"You had to get the next high just to function. You could not live without it," said Bobby. "Drinking was always a party but opiates and stuff, that is survival."
The mastery heroin has over a person is immense, much more so than other drugs. It changes a person's life to such a degree that they are virtually defenseless against the drug. Bobby says he's had several people "basically die right in front of me." Dying is a term used in the drug community to describe someone who has overdosed and survived.
"Now they are cool because they survived an OD," said Bobby. "They shoot up and their eyes roll back in their head. Eight out of ten would survive. As soon as they come out of it they get high again. It doesn't even scare them."
According to Bobby, 14 people he knows have died from the effects of heroin in the past three years. Those deaths had little effect on Bobby as he remained under the horrible influence of heroin. One of the deaths was the sister of the his girlfriend, also an addict.
"You know what we did?" asked Bobby. "We got high in the bathroom of her hospital room. Heroin is that powerful. It's like taking your next breath. You don't necessarily want to do it but you have to."
The hospitalized girl died shortly thereafter.
"Your thought process while on heroin is totally different," said Bobby. "You start doing things you don't want to do to get money for your next high. I'd steal from my parents. It didn't matter who it was. There's so many addicts out there out of control. They are not trying to do bad things."
Bobby says the people he used to see every day, all of them, are doing time in prison from "dealing or doing something dumb." With the exception of a seven-day stint, he has managed to avoid time behind bars. Fortunately for him, the week he spent in the Ward County Jail had a profound effect.
"It's a classroom for criminals. It is horrible. My God, it is horrible," said Bobby. "It's about doing more bad when you get out. I'm not meant for prison. I'm not going there."
A common ploy for addicts in need of money, said Bobby, was to pick up receipts at Walmart, grab matching items and return them.
"Some would get $600 to $700 a day back at Walmart every single day. It's crazy. Crazy," remarked Bobby. "There are people so innocent that get affected that don't deserve it. It's unbelievable. When I was doing heroin you do the drug and get right back after it. It's the only thing you think about. It's the only thing you talk about. It's the only thing everybody around you talks about."
No longer, at least not for Bobby. He says he has been heroin free for six months. He credits the local methadone clinic, Community Medical Services of Minot, for guiding him through the beginning stages of a very difficult recovery process.
"The opiate addiction is so powerful you need something. There's getting to be enough help now. If you want it, you can make it happen," said Bobby. "The things that have happened to me in the last three months have just been incredible. Methadone helped me not have to go out and search for the drugs. Something good happened. I realized how much I have in life because my family hadn't given up on me. They should have. I put them through holy hell."
Methadone is a synthetic opiod that blocks the opiate receptors in the brain so that other opiates can't make a person high.
"It blocks the pleasure center and helps addicts have a clear mind-set," said Tyler. "They have clear functioning, feel better, think better and are not getting sick and having troubles with withdrawals. It blocks the cravings."
Minot's methadone clinic is open from 6-11 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Many addicts in treatment travel long distances every morning to receive their dose of methadone, usually two to nine milligrams a week. It is a pink colored liquid similar in appearance to Benadryl.
"They have to drink it in front of a nurse and we have to make sure they swallowed it," said Tyler. "When they get stable we can give them take-home doses, but for at least the first three months they have to come in six days a week."
"This place has seriously saved my life and my girlfriend's life and a lot of other people at the clinic," said Bobby. "I know I'm done with heroin. Somehow, I just know I am through. I've had cravings but I've said no and that is a huge thing for an addict. Today I have a choice. Miracles happen every day and I have all this good stuff going for me. I could sabotage it by picking up drugs. That's all it takes and I would lose all. It's as simple as that."
Today Bobby is busy on the road to recovery and seems sincere about keeping his body free of drugs. He also has begun contacting those who were affected by his addiction to offer apologies for his behavior while under the influence of heroin. His weekly routine includes a daily trip to the methadone clinic, a visit to a psychiatrist twice a week and regular attendance at meetings of Alcoholic Anonymous, sometimes twice a day.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in the past year, about nine percent of the adults in North Dakota, nearly 52,000 individuals, had a substance use disorder.
Heroin is an opioid drug made from morphine, a natural substance taken from the seed pod of various opium poppy plants.
Heroin can be a white or brown powder, or a black sticky substance known as black tar heroin.
People inject, sniff, snort, or smoke heroin.
Heroin enters the brain rapidly and binds to opioid receptors on cells located in many areas, especially those involved in feelings of pain and pleasure and in controlling heart rate, sleeping, and breathing.
Research suggests that misuse of prescription opioid pain medicine is a risk factor for starting heroin use.
Withdrawal symptoms include severe muscle and bone pain, sleep problems, diarrhea and vomiting, and severe heroin cravings.

Many women suffer from underarm discoloration. While this isn't a burden in the wintertime, when cozy sweaters keep dark armpits under wraps, Spring and Summer are a different story. Many women feel self-conscious wearing sleeveless tops and armpit bearing sundresses. Thankfully, there are several ways to get rid of unwanted armpit discoloration, and prevent it from returning.
What Are The Causes Of Dark Armpits?
Dark underarms can affect all women, but tend to affect women with darker skins more. That's mainly because people who have darker skin tones are better at producing the pigment that creates our skin color (melanin).
When our skin cells produce too much pigment, this is known as hyperpigmentation. This can happen for various reasons. Armpits can become hyperpigmented because of repetitive friction. Shaving, waxing, and just the friction caused by skin rubbing together can lead to irritation and mild skin trauma. The skin responds to this trauma by becoming thicker as a protective measure. Thicker skin goes hand in hand with hyperpigmentation and darker underarms.
While friction and irritation are the most common causes of discolored armpit skin, this condition can also be caused by genetics, diabetes, or hormonal problems. They can also be caused by allergic reactions to deodorants.
One of the best ways to reduce the appearance of dark underarms is to treat the area with a little TLC. If you're dealing with underarm hyperpigmentation, you may want to lighten up on your shaving regimen.
Unfortunately waxing isn't much better, as ripping hair from the follicles is not a gentle way to treat your armpits. It can cause significant skin irritation. People prone to ingrown hairs should avoid waxing anyway, as the resulting inflammation (known as 'pseudofolliculitis barbae') caused can lead to skin discoloration.
Instead of waxing or shaving, people who want to get help lighten their underarms may want to invest in laser hair removal instead.
Dermatologists often recommend laser hair removal because it's an effective way to reduce underarm irritation. This treatment uses light beams to stop hair growth on a follicular level. The hair follicles are damaged by the light, and hairs grow back thinner and lighter until they eventually stop growing back at all. For full results, patients often have to undergo several rounds of laser hair removal treatments. Some women might balk at the price tag and time commitment, but laser hair removal is a great way to minimize the irritation which can lead to lighter colored armpits.
Many people have to have 4 to 6 laser hair removal treatments to achieve full results. After only one treatment, hair will start to become thinner and sparser. At the end of the full treatment, most women will experience totally hairless underarms. Once the underarm skin is no longer affected by unnecessary friction, the skin can start to recover. After a few months of no shaving, the skin will hopefully begin to lighten and heal itself. If not, or if that's too slow a process, there is more you can do.
What Are the Alternative Options to Laser Hair Removal?
Women who don't want to go under the laser, or are impatient as Summer draws near, can still reduce the look of dark armpits.
If you want to shave, make sure you take time and do so carefully. Never shave 'against the grain' of the hair – it may get a slightly closer shave, but it causes a lot more skin damage. It also greatly increase the chances of ingrown hairs as it can cut hair just below the surface of the skin.
You should also use a good shaving cream to keep the skin moisturized and well lubricated while shaving. This will help minimize irritation. And then apply just a dab of moisturizer after shaving. Use something gentle, preferably without alcohol derivatives, and ideally with something soothing like aloe vera. Wait at least 10 minutes for it to absorb before applying deoderant.
Can Creams Whiten My Armpits Faster?
Typically yes, because dark armpits are caused by hyperpigmentation, so using products that have certain skin lightening ingredients can yield really good results.
Dermatologists often prescribe products containing retinoids and/or hydroquinone.
Retinoids are derived from vitamin A, and include some names you have probably heard of such as retinol or tretinoin (also called Retin-A). These are better known for their anti-aging properties though as they have been shown to smooth facial wrinkles, firm the skin, and give the skin much-needed antioxidants. They do however help with skin turnover too so can help speed up skin lightening.
Hydroquinone on the other hand is more of a 'bleaching' agent. That is, it will whiten the skin in as little as a couple of weeks. There are some concerns however with hydroquinine use (some countries have even banned it completely for cosmetic use).
More natural alternatives have now been developed (check our skin lightening cream reviews here), and hydroquinine appears to be in decline. This is probably a good thing, particularly as a lot of hydroquinine products are not used under supervision of a doctor or dermatologist.
There is a whole list of natural skin whitening ingredients that include arbutin, mulberry, niacinamide, kojic acid and many more. These mostly act to limit the production of melanin which is the pigment responsible for our skin color.
What Are the Typical Results Of Whitening Creams?
Just be clear that there are no 'overnight' results. Any lightening cream whether prescription or over the counter is going to take a little time. So you need to allow a couple of weeks to start seeing results, and up to a couple of months for the full effects to really be seen.
Also be aware that as your skin lightens this will naturally increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. This is rarely a problem for underarms, but it's worth being aware.
Do Any Of Those 'Home Remedies' Really Work?
There are a number of home remedies that purport to solve the problem of dark underarms. Unfortunately, they rarely have positive effects.
Lemon juice is one of the most popular home remedies. Some people believe that rubbing a few drops of lemon juice directly onto the armpits will lighten the area.
While lemon juice does contain some skin lightening ingredients, the risks outweigh the benefits. Lemon juice is actually very acidic.
A neutral pH is 7 and anything less than that is acid. Lemon juice has a pH of around 2 to 3, battery acid is 1.
So it can actually irritate the skin, thanks to the psoralen and citric acid it contains. These compounds can cause itchiness and redness when used on the skin. They also leave the sun more prone to sun damage, which can in turn cause hyperpigmentation. In short, dousing your armpits in lemon juice might smell quite nice but it simply isn't worth it.
Can You Prevent Dark Underarms From Coming Back?
This should help you keep your armpits happy, healthy, and hopefully hyperpigmentation-free.

Does anything preoccupy us more than love? From creation myths to the most enduring art, love is almost always a central theme, and at the very least a tangential one. Throughout history, a full roster of things have come to symbolize love, romantic or otherwise, in various cultural, religious, and artistic ways. So on the eve of love's annual organized celebration, Valentine's Day, we've picked out all the ways love is represented in our Presidents' Weekend Auction - it turns out if you look from the right perspective, love is easy to find.
In pretty much any culture red roses are a symbol of passionate love. Pink roses symbolize warm affection, and yellow roses signal either friendship or jealousy. In the Victorian language of flowers (Victorians had all manner of symbolic "languages" to address the subject of romance, which of course they shied away from looking at head on), even the number of roses given to a love interest had meaning. One rose symbolized love at first sight, two symbolized shared love, and so on until a dozen roses, which meant that the recipient was perfect in every way. Ancient Greeks closely associated roses with Aphrodite, and early Christians tied them to the Virgin Mary, and eventually the rosary.
Though "putti" are not technically the same as cherubs, which are not technically the same as Cupid, all are portrayed as plump, naked, winged babies, and all are symbols of love of one kind or another, whether it be the love between human and god or non-religious, secular love between humans. Cupid (to the Romans), of course, is one and the same as Eros (to the Greeks), son of Venus (Aphrodite to the Greeks), and is the god of love. The youth of putti/cherubs/Cupid is thought to be symbolic of love's playful mischief.
Humans, possibly because of our own susceptibility to unfaithfulness, tend to romanticize species that mate for life. Swans, with their graceful, pure white presence and their lifelong partnerships, have become an obvious symbol of purity and fidelity. It's ironic, then, that in Greek myth it was in the form of a swan that the famously promiscuous Zeus finally managed to seduce Leda - one of their children would be Helen of Troy, and we all know how that ended.
While Eve's intentions when giving THE apple to Adam may be a matter of debate, the apple has had clear romantic connotations in many places outside the Bible. In Chinese tradition apple blossoms symbolize adoration. In ancient Greek myth, gods and royals were constantly tempting each other with golden apples, setting off all manner of events from marriages to wars. And as part of an autumn Cornish celebration, young men and women put apples under their pillows to evoke dreams of their future spouse.
Ever since Venus was theoretically borne to shore on a scallop shell, the shell has been a symbol of love. Some say that the hard, protective nature of a shell lends it to signifying the protectiveness of love, though that imagery contradicts how often love itself is portrayed as being fragile and precious.
Once again, Zeus's extracurricular activities spawned lasting iconography. This time, according to the myth, Zeus wanted his son Hercules, born to a woman other than his wife, Hera, to nevertheless be fed by Hera. Hera, understandably, wasn't up for it. So Zeus tried to feed Hercules from Hera while she slept. When she woke and pushed the baby Hercules away, the milk that spilled onto the ground grew into lilies.
Why this makes lilies a symbol of romance is a mystery. Nevertheless, they have come to symbolize pure, innocent love, as opposed to the passionate love of red roses. Their connection to fertility from the Greek myth is perhaps more obvious. The Chinese also use lilies in wedding ceremonies because they associate them with 100 years of faithful love.

Nunn stays hot with 28 points as Heat beat Hawks 106-97

ATLANTA (AP) — Kendrick Nunn is enjoying the best start of any undrafted player in NBA history.
The rookie is taking the Miami Heat along for the ride.
Nunn scored a career-high 28 points to add to his record-setting start and Miami beat Atlanta 106-97 on Thursday night, giving the Heat two wins over the Hawks in three days.
Nunn's 112 points are the highest total through the first five games for any undrafted player in NBA history. Connie Hawkins of the Phoenix Suns scored 105 points in his first five games of the 1969-70 season.
"It's surreal a little bit," Nunn said. "… All I needed was the opportunity."
Nunn, a 6-foot-2 guard from Oakland University in Michigan, scored 14 points in the third quarter. He began his career with 24 points against Memphis on Oct. 23, and he has kept shooting. He has scored at least 24 points three times in Miami's first five games.
"He can shoot it," Hawks rookie Cam Reddish said. "I have a lot of respect for that guy."
Another record-setting rookie, Tyler Herro, had 17 points. Herro scored 29 points off the bench in the Heat's 112-97 win over Atlanta on Tuesday night to set a franchise record for a rookie reserve.
The rookies have helped Miami (4-1) enjoy a strong start.
Nunn and Herro are feeding off Jimmy Butler, who had 11 assists while scoring only five points. He added nine rebounds, six steals and blocked three shots.
The Heat had 29 assists with only 13 turnovers.
"To tell you the truth, that was winning basketball today," Butler said.
Nunn was impressed by Butler's play, especially the assists.
"That's huge, for your star player to be unselfish like that," Nunn said.
Butler had 21 points in his Heat debut on Tuesday night, but said he doesn't have to score big to do his job.
"I'm not here to score 50 points or whatever. … If we win, I'm good."
Reddish filled in at point guard for Trae Young, who was held out with a sprained right ankle.
Jabari Parker led Atlanta with 23 points. DeAndre Bembry had 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Miami held a lead of 18 points, but Atlanta made a late comeback attempt.
Bembry's steal and basket cut Miami's lead to 94-88 midway through the final period. Following a timeout, Meyers Leonard sank two 3-pointers for Miami, followed by a Nunn layup, for a 102-88 lead. Leonard had 16 points.
Reddish had nine points with four assists and only one turnover. Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said Reddish had a good start before crossing the "fine line between playing with good pace and playing too fast."
Reddish, who joined De'Andre Hunter as rookie starters, said "I feel like I learned a lot tonight, especially at that position. I've got to slow down and let the game come to me."
TIP-INS
Heat: F Justise Winslow (lower back stiffness) did not play. … The Heat took the lead with a string of 3-pointers late in the opening period, including Bam Adebayo's fourth career 3 and first of the season. … Coach Erik Spoelstra made a successful challenge of a charge call against Adebayo in the second period. … Miami made 14 of 37 3s, including four of six by Nunn.
Hawks: Young, who suffered the injury on Tuesday night, did not appear to be limping when seen walking before the game. … Playing behind Reddish, Tyrone Wallace helped spark a 10-1 run late in the first half. Wallace had six points in the second quarter and 12 overall in his second game after being claimed off waivers on Oct. 23. … The Hawks transferred Brandon Goodwin from their new College Park G League franchise in metro Atlanta.
SIXTH MAN
Parker's points came off the bench. He had eight rebounds and played 25 minutes. "I think he's going to have an opportunity to be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate, and we're going to use him that way," Pierce said.
The Heat will play host to Houston on Sunday night.
The Hawks continue a stretch of four straight home games when they face the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

Sports brand adidas recently announced a partnership with Parley for the Oceans and showcased a footwear made of plastics waste collected from the ocean.
On June 30, Parley Talks titled "Oceans. Climate. Life." were hosted by the United Nations (UN) in New York, the US at the General Assembly Hall, on the occasion of a high-level event on climate change, convened by the President of the General Assembly.
Parley for the Oceans is an organization aims to raise awareness about the state of the oceans and to collaborate on projects that can protect and conserve them.
At the UNxParley event, global sports brand adidas, a founding member of Parley for the Oceans, created the world's first running shoe upper that is made entirely of yarns and filaments reclaimed and recycled from ocean waste and illegal deep-sea gillnets.
Parley partner organization Sea Shepherd retrieved the nets after a 110-day expedition tracking an illegal poaching vessel, which culminated off the coast of West Africa.
adidas is also expected to introduce a consumer-ready ocean plastic products later this year.
"We are incredibly excited to join Parley for the Oceans as they bring the cause of the oceans to the attention of the United Nations. This partnership allows us to tap into new areas and create innovative materials and products for our athletes. We invite everyone to join us on this journey to clean up the oceans," said Eric Liedtke, adidas Group Executive Board member responsible for Global Brands.

World's strongest steady magnetic field generated in China
By Michael Irving
Chinese scientists have generated the strongest steady magnetic field on Earth
HFIPS
The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF), which set the new world record for strongest steady magnetic field of 45.22 T
SHMFF team
Scientists in China have set a new world record for the strongest steady magnetic field ever generated on Earth. The hybrid magnet managed to produce a field measuring 45.22 Tesla (T), which is over a million times stronger than the planet's own.
The record was set at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, using a magnet with a hybrid design that's been operating since 2016. The structure includes a resistive magnet sitting in a 32-mm (1.3-in) gap in the center of a superconducting magnet, allowing the two to join forces to produce an incredibly strong magnetic field.
On August 12, the hybrid magnet produced a record-breaking steady-state magnetic field of 45.22 T with a power input of 26.9 MW. Of that, the resistive magnet contributed 34.22 T, with the superconducting ring chipping in the remaining 11 T. This breaks the previous world record of 45 T set way back in 1999 by MagLab in the US.
"To achieve higher magnetic fields, we innovated the structure of the magnet and developed new materials," said Professor Kuang Guangli, academic director of the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at SHMFF. "The manufacturing process for the Bitter discs [the magnets in the center] was also optimized."
This new record is specifically for a steady magnetic field, but other types have reached higher strengths. In 2019 a similar hybrid setup peaked at 45.5 T, but that was only relatively briefly. In 2018 a Japanese team managed to generate a magnetic field with an astounding 1,200 T – for about 40 microseconds, before part of the instrument exploded. Needless to say, that one isn't ready for primetime just yet.
The new steady magnetic field facility, however, is much more practical, the team says. It's ready to be used for a range of scientific experiments, with access granted for institutes and universities around the world.

Why do you assume that's spam and not heartfelt advice? How un-PC of you to discount the assertion that olumba magic is real.
Miss Cleo, is that you?!?
So, the fact that number 13 exists after already reading number 5 is troubling.
I imagine the whole thing is recursive if you try to use number 9 after being scammed by one of his other offers.

To coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight 2019, we'll be teaming up with FAIR. Spirits & Propercorn to host an evening of guilt-free chocolate appreciation.
We'll be getting stuck into all-time classic, Mel Stuart's Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, to transport you to a world of pure imagination.
Despite a glittering and award-winning performance by lead man Gene Wilder, this rendition of Roald Dahl's most well-known work received mixed reviews upon release.
It has gone on to enjoy a cult status thanks to a spike in interest and popularity during the 1980s, and is now rightfully considered one of the finest works of fantastical fiction the big screen has ever seen.
The melodic soundtrack, beautiful sets, and endearing performances by a young and eclectic supporting cast makes Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory an enjoyable ride from start to glass-elevator finish.
Continuing the chocolatey themes, as well as a traditional FAIR-based complimentary cocktail to enjoy, guests will also be treated to snacks in the form of Propercorn's Perivian chocolate-soaked popcorn.
Tickets are £15 for one, or £20 for a pair using the code 'goldenticket' at checkout. Complimentary cocktail and free snacks courtesy of Propercorn included.
Fancy a Fairtrade feast to cap off your evening? This screening will be closely followed by a 3-course chocolate-themed supper club courtesy of culinary up-and-comer Yianni D'Gama. Click here for details.
Arrival – Attendees will arrive through the doors of our liquor store by 6:30pm and purchase any beer, wine, or other refreshments they like. Afterwards, guest can make their way down into our Cellar Bar to receive their complimentary chocolate-based FAIR cocktail for the night.
Screening – Then, guests will be invited upstairs to our new 52-seater cinema room, where we'll get stuck into this cult classic from 7pm sharp. Complimentary chocolate-covered popcorn will also be making the rounds.
Afters – After the show, if you don't fancy our Fairtrade supperclub, attendees will be invited back down to the Cellar Bar, where you can drink, discuss, and continue your evening. Reservations may be required.
As part of FAIR.trade Fortnight, on 5th March we'll be hosting Yianni Hoffstead, of Plate London, for a 3-course Fairtrade feast. A portion of the proceeds will be going directly to the women of ANPQUI.
A guided tasting of the FAIR. range in our liquor store, led by Global FAIR. Brand Ambassador, Paul Bungener. He'll be showcasing his range of Fairtrade spirits, including a quinoa vodka, a Belize rum, and handcrafted Cacao liqueur.
Have a browse of our calendar to check out the full list of goings-ons during Fairtrade Fortnight and beyond.


StepJockey is pleased to announce it has partnered with one of Britain's leading advisors on corporate wellness and workplace health, tea™ (MMB).
Mercer Marsh Benefits™ works with employers of all sizes to help them target and address the specific health risks within their organisation and measure the effectiveness and ROI of their initiatives, building a sound business case for health. The aim is to help employers improve their bottom line through improving the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of their employees by facilitating sustained behavioural change to improve health and providing robust benefits for when ill-health does arrive.
MMB's UK clients who are seeking to increase physical activity among their staff as part of a workplace health solution can now access StepJockey's smart signs and stair climbing challenges.
The StepJockey system allows employers with multi-storey offices to quickly and easily build physical activity into the working day without disruption to their core business or the need for large scale capital investment.
Neil Hunt, principal at MMB, said: "Most employers focus their HR policies, benefit spend and management time on the relatively small population of ill and long-term disabled employees. Meanwhile the majority of employees – those who are well but have health risks – go unsupported and are in danger of moving through the wellness barrier into ill-health.
"StepJockey, by contrast, is an evidence-based tool that can impact the majority of employees, and in a manner which is conducive to long-term positive behaviour change. I'm pleased to announce that StepJockey is now available as part of the MMB workplace health portfolio of partnered solutions".
Paul Nuki, co-founder and CEO of StepJockey, said: "We are delighted to be working with MMB's UK workplace health team. MMB is respected across the world for its expertise in the area of corporate wellness and workplace health and its focus on prevention through sustainable behaviour change fits exactly with StepJockey's product and mission".
Its proprietary smart-sign and gamification technology is used by employers worldwide to combat sedentary behavior in the workplace by encouraging stair use. It allows all staff to seamlessly build exercise into their working week without disruption to the business.
The system is used in over 11,000 buildings around the world by clients including Disney, Pearson, JLL, UBS, Channel 4, NBC and The Wellcome Trust.
StepJockey buildings are equipped with a network of highly salient wireless smart signs that 'nudge' office staff to use the stairs rather than lifts or escalators. The signs can be read by mobile phone applications, allowing stair use to be tracked and further incentivised through the StepJockey gamification platform. The system allows employers to launch team based stair climbing challenges and to directly reward staff who habitually use the stairs.
Sedentary behavior is cited by the World Health Organization (WHO) and others as a leading risk factor for a long term conditions including heart disease, type two diabetes and obesity.
Stair climbing is recommended by health authorities worldwide as a simple but powerful means to build incidental physical activity into the working week.
For buildings with five floors or less, it's nearly always quicker to take the stairs, with studies finding time savings of up to 15 minutes per person a day.
Just 7 minutes stair climbing a day has been estimated to more than half the risk of a heart attack over 10 years.
For more information on StepJockey including requests for images, info-graphics, case studies and expert interviews please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Therapeutic Boarding Schools Rhode Island
As a premier therapeutic boarding school for struggling adolescents from Rhode Island, Turning Winds provides valued assistance to teenagers experiencing clinical depression, adoption (attachment disorder), and/or academic failure related issues. We offer the experience of a wilderness therapy program and residential therapeutic program in one combined facility. Through our therapeutic boarding school, teens learn to overcome the mental health conditions, behavioral concerns, and mild to moderate substance abuse (including marijuana) that may be preventing them from living the normal well-adjusted life of a teenager.
Many teens in Rhode Island feel they cannot be "normal" simply because they have too many problems or have done too many bad things. The truth is, teenagers with mental health disorders can go on to live happy, productive lives if their mental health condition is properly identified, evaluated, and treated. Unfortunately, so many teens do not receive the treatment they need and they end up dealing with trials related to pain medication abuse/addiction, behavioral misconduct, and/or ADD/ADHD (attentional disorder).
What is a Therapeutic Boarding School?
A therapeutic boarding school is a residential school facility that provides academics; combined with supervision and a specialized structure for teenagers from Rhode Island with behavioral issues, emotional problems, learning difficulties, and/or substance abuse (including marijuana) challenges. These schools work to heal the mind, body, and soul through the development of respect, gratitude, and forgiveness. Teenagers who attend our program learn the skills for restoration and overcoming the poor decisions they may have made in the past.
Take Our Test - Determine Your Child's Need for Placement
Turning Winds is both an Academic Institute and a therapeutic boarding school. We have helped over 1,000 families regain the sons and daughters they thought they had lost. The average stay at our institute is one year and the vast majority of our students end up pursuing higher education when they graduate from our program.
Although Turning Winds may be located outside of Rhode Island, Turning Winds accepts enrollments from struggling teenagers from all over the US. Also, it is beneficial to have troubled teens receive assistance away from the harmful influence of their unsupportive peer group.
Parents, we truly understand how it feels to see a child spiraling out of control. With our help, teenagers from Rhode Island do not have to wait for treatment. We are available right now to take your call and offer you the information and help you need.
Turning Winds is a premier academic institute, specializing in a variety of therapeutic intervention strategies (CBT, DBT, behavioral therapy) and outdoor recreation and adventure therapy for teens in Rhode Island; experiencing food addiction (binge eating, overeating), pain medication abuse/addiction, and/or bullying (or being bullied) issues.

Struggling teens in Rhode Island can benefit from a therapeutic boarding school that provides both treatment for any present mental health concerns and a full academic program. Turning Winds is an accredited therapeutic boarding school that is recognized by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC). Through a co-ed restoration program, troubled teenagers from Rhode Island learn how to change their assistance in life so they can develop a positive work ethic and pursue a career.
Though some parents are slightly concerned over sending their teen to a co-ed therapeutic boarding school, they quickly learn there are many benefits for their troubled teen in Rhode Island. Unfortunately, many teens lack the skills and understanding that is needed for the respect of the opposite sex. Excluding them from being around people of the opposite sex will only compound the issues they are facing and will make transitioning back into society difficult.
therapeutic boarding high schools
Co-ed therapeutic boarding high schools allow developing kids to gain the unique perspectives that both sexes offer. They learn to not only respect others, but they also form strong social bonds that help them through their restoration treatment so they can be successful in overcoming the issues related to clinical depression, behavioral misconduct, and/or substance abuse (including marijuana); that has held them back in the past.
Testimonials from Students Testimonials from Parents
In our therapeutic boarding high school, the students are engaged in activity at all times. Our program provides a 5:1 ratio of staff to teenagers, so no child ever falls through the cracks or is ignored. With this high ratio of staff to students, we can assure parents their child will be monitored so that no issues arise that would cause them to become distracted from their ultimate goal of pursuing their education and receiving treatment for any mental health conditions they suffer from.
Turning Winds provides a premier co-ed education experience that is not only accredited by the NWAC, but also by the National Independent Private Schools Association. (NIPSA) We take great pride in giving our residents with the skills they need for overcoming their life obstacles and propelling them towards success.
affordable therapeutic boarding schools in Rhode Island
Turning Winds is a recognized affordable therapeutic boarding school, located in the beautiful wilderness of Montana. Our therapy program is unique because it provides a therapeutic program with a strong emphasis on education. Our students typically learn two years of High School academics in the one year they reside in our affordable therapeutic boarding school. We not only engage their minds and get them excited about learning, we also help them with any issues that may have caused them to experience poor academic performance in the past.
Often, teens in Rhode Island are failing in traditional schools because their underlying mental and emotional needs are not being met. Unfortunately, many teenagers suffer from undiagnosed learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD (attentional disorder). We work to identify these issues so the right method of instruction can be put in place. We understand that every child learns differently and we are successful in identifying each teen's learning strengths so they can see success no matter what level they may be working on.
Not only does Turning Winds offer a stellar educational opportunity, we also offer a wilderness program that provides troubled teens in Rhode Island limitless outdoor activities that teach them respect, gratitude, humility, and responsibility. These are attributes many teenagers today simply do not possess. Once teens graduate from our program they are ready to face life with new assistance and determination.
Our goal for teenagers in Rhode Island is to strengthen family bonds so forgiveness and resolution can be found. Bringing families back together is one of the greatest joys we are privileged to experience when teens progress through our program. Through hiking, backpacking, swimming, fishing, and camping, teenagers from Rhode Island enjoy their therapeutic experience while gaining valuable skills they will need for transitioning into young adulthood.

Resource for Parents and Troubled Teens from Rhode Island
National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP): There are currently thousands of wilderness schools, boarding schools, residential therapy centers and military academies in Rhode Island, and all over the country; that are giving licensed, professional assistance to troubled teens. NATSAP is an organization that provides assistance and informs the therapist at these Rhode Island institutions, giving examples of good practice and advocating on behalf of the sector as a whole. They have a premier assistance and advisory function rather than an auditing or overseeing role – the latter is undertaken by the appropriate accreditors.
Rhode Island Resources for Parents and Struggling Teenagers
Rhode Island Division of Behavioral Healthcare - Mental Health: The Mental Health Unit of the Division of Behavioral Healthcare is concerned with the monitoring and development of community and hospital mental health services, which include community support programs, general outpatient programs, housing and vocational programs, client operated business, complaint investigation and resolution, consumer rights, utilization review, Pre Admission Screening and Residential Review (PASRR) and program administration for clients entering or residing at a nursing home, consumer group liaison and criminal justice system program development.
Turning Winds is the optimal choice for parents in Rhode Island who are seeking a premier academic institute to offer help for their troubled child experiencing substance abuse (including marijuana), behavioral misconduct, or clinical depression. Since it can be difficult to work with highly resistant teens, most programs rely heavily upon level systems, punishments, and other disciplinary tactics in order to manage a teen's behavior. Here at Turning Winds, we recognize that the situation of one troubled child may not apply to all of our students.
Turning Winds's therapists and field staff discourage judgments and labels, and never allow a diagnosis to interfere with what troubled teenagers have in common with each other - their humanity. We have provided assistance to numerous families from all over the nation, including those from Rhode Island; Our experienced therapists offer top-notch therapy toward the path of restoration for teenagers experiencing pain medication abuse/addiction, clinical depression, or academic failure.
Contact Turning Winds today at (800) 845-1380 to speak with one of our expert family advocates. They are readily available to answer any questions about our enrollment fees, insurance affiliations, and proximity to Rhode Island. Make Turning Winds and their therapeutic boarding school a life-changing and memorable experience for both your family and your troubled child.

Rated 1 out of 5 by samfam from Oxidizes quickly I bought the lightest shade of concealer and after using it, it quickly oxidized into a pink shade. It didn't match at all with my foundation so I had to use this underneath. It's hard to blend and it's very sheer so it doesn't cover dark circles or redness very well. It also cakes and creases very easily.


Objective: Regina Gust wanted a new website that reflected the expansion of her business into new areas. The client needed to be able to update the site on its own and a mobile-friendly site was critical.
Solution: Tell Your Tale designed a vibrant, responsive website using WordPress. The site was carefully written to address various audiences and drive web traffic. The beautiful photos complement the vibrant design. Tell Your Tale also updated Regina Gust's logo to indicate services beyond holiday décor for commercial properties and residences to also include floral arrangements for events.

Interfacial-dependent morphologies in the self-organization system of chiral molecules observed by atomic force microscopy
Yan Jie Zhang, Ming Jin, Ran Lu, Yanlin Song, Lei Jiang, Yingying Zhao, Tie Jin Li
The interfacial-dependent self-organization of a chiral amino acid amphiphile is observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). This chiral amino acid amphiphile possesses an amide group and two carboxyl groups that can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds in different forms, which corresponding to the two energy-minimum states exist in the aggregates of chiral molecules in one enantiomeric form. Three kinds of organizations were induced at different interfaces, which appear as helical aggregates on hydrophobic surface (e.g., highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)), molecular flat layer, and superstructure layer on hydrophilic surface (e.g., mica). Moreover, these two energy-minimum states can also coexist in the same layer of the superstructure on an ordered hydrophobic surface made of the linearly aligned hydrocarbon chains. These phenomena experimentally prove the existence of double energy-minimum states in the chiral molecules that are in one enantiomeric form. The results presented here provide insight into how the interface can manipulate the bonding behavior in a multi-hydrogen bonding system and the self-organization of chiral molecules can be controlled consequently.
