Backup industry is migrating from tapes towards disks and cloud, making it more feasible to leverage technology to achieve efficient utilization of network, storage, and human resources. This results in benefits such as lesser capital expense, faster recovery times and higher data security. Here we will discuss how Incremental Backups, a technology leveraged by Microsoft Azure Backup, delivers greater network and storage savings.
The different kinds of backup vary in terms of storage consumption, time to recover (RTO) and network consumption. Hence, it is imperative that you choose right backup solution to keep the overall backup TCO low. This section details out various kinds of backup and their impact on overall cost. As an example, let us take a data source, A, made up of blocks A1, A2, … A10, which needs to be backed up monthly. Block A2, A3, A4, A9 change in the first month, and A5 changes the next month.
In Full Backups, a copy of the whole data source is stored for every backup.This leads to high network and storage consumption due to transfer of full copies every time.
Differential backups store only the blocks that have changed since the initial full backup, resulting in lesser network and storage consumption. Hence, after the initial copy, only the blocks that have changed since then are backed up for every subsequent backup. This avoids redundant copies of unchanged data, but is inefficient since the blocks that remain unchanged between further backups are transferred and stored as well.
Hence, after the first month, the changed blocks A2, A3, A4 and A9 will be backed up, and the following month, they will be backed up again, along with changed block, A5. These blocks will continue to be backed up until the next full backup is taken. Taking a full backup is a way to keep the size of the differential backups in check.
This used to be beneficial earlier, when manual intervention was required to restore from tapes: it needed lesser storage than full backup, and required merging just two tapes to create a recovery point. However, since backups can now be managed through a single console, storing unchanged blocks is inefficient. This is addressed with Incremental Backups, using which Microsoft Azure Backup creates recovery points.
Incremental Backups achieve high storage and network efficiency by storing only the blocks that change since the previous backup. This also negates any need to take regular full backups as was needed in Differential backups. Therefore, after the initial full backup, Microsoft Azure Backup will mark A2, A3, A4 and A9 as changed and send them to be stored. The following month, only the changed block, A5 will be transferred and stored. This leads to storage and network savings due to lesser data being transferred. With copies of lesser data being maintained for a long period, the TCO of backup decreases considerably.
With the technology used at Microsoft, even with Incremental Backups, the restores take constant time: no matter which recovery point you restore, they would all happen equally fast.
Microsoft Azure Backup leverages Incremental Backup technology, providing you secure, pay-as-you-go, highly scalable services to suit different requirements. In addition to Incremental Backups, these products also use compression, network throttling and offline seeding to further optimize resource consumption. All this is done while maintaining full copy fidelity for recovery, thus ensuring that even if a recovery point is corrupted, other recovery points are not affected.
In the coming blog post, we will discuss more about how Microsoft Azure Backup gives you full fidelity backups and keeps RTOs constant with incremental backups.

One of the thing we workship is 'DOING' at Aarohi - we call it TESTING. We engage ourselves in doing something at the campus which leads to testing by usages. Each child is engaged in making something at the campus. The doing can be a big projcet making of Dome of 30feet diameter or tipity tap for washbasin, make a tippy shower as bathroom, make gift with quality finish, make tyre seat, make resources to be used by others, cook for all, use and make musical instruments to add in music station and so on. Each time a child DOES something, the child goes through many learning processes.
A thought - Do you see SHAPES in MATHEMATICAL TABLES? We watched a video showing a visual board of mathematical table. Making of this board itself took us time - first, we had to think what material, we worked on few materials like cardboard, wood etc but it did not suit our needs. Then a spark came and we used old lid of paint bucket, Now it was all about nailing and using geometry tools to make marks. Once we succeed doing this in two days, we played with color yarn to explore shapes. We were mesmerized to see beauty in mathematical tables!

Abstract. Air pollution harms human health and the environment. Several regulatory efforts and different actions have been taken in the last decades by authorities. Air quality trend analysis represents a valid tool in assessing the impact of these actions taken both at national and local levels. This paper presents for the first time the capability of the Italian national chemical transport model, AMS-MINNI, in capturing the observed concentration trends of three air pollutants, NO2, inhalable particles having diameter less than 10 micrometres (PM10) and O3, in Italy over the period 2003–2010. We firstly analyse the model performance finding it in line with the state of the art of regional models applications. The modelled trends result in a general significant downward trend for the three pollutants and, in comparison with observations, the values of the simulated slopes show the same magnitude for NO2 (in the range −3.0 ÷ −0.5 ug m−3 yr−1), while a smaller variability is detected for PM10 (−1.5 ÷ −0.5 ug m−3 yr−1) and O3-maximum daily 8-hour average concentration (−2.0 ÷ −0.5 ug m−3 yr−1). As a general result, we find a good agreement between modelled and observed trends; moreover, the model allowed to extend both the spatial coverage and the statistical significance of pollutants' concentrations trends with respect to observations, in particular for NO2. We also conduct a qualitative attempt to correlate the temporal concentration trends to meteorological and emission variability. Since no clear tendency in yearly meteorological anomalies (temperature, precipitation, geopotential height) was observed for the period investigated, we focus the discussion of concentrations trends on emissions variations. We point out that, due to the complex links between precursors emissions and air pollutants concentrations, emission reductions do not always result in a corresponding decrease in atmospheric concentrations, especially for those pollutants that are formed in the atmosphere such as O3 and the major fraction of PM10. These complex phenomena are still uncertain and their understanding is of the utmost importance in planning future policies for reducing air pollution and its impacts on health and ecosystems.

'I will kill you if you give this song to anyone but me': how Peggy Lee was perfect for Is That All There Is?
This entry was posted on May 26, 2020, in The Guardian. Bookmark the permalink.
In September 1968, songwriting titans Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were on the hunt for a singer for their curious new composition Is That All There Is? The song was something of a departure for the writers of Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock. It had been inspired by Thomas Mann's 1896 short story Disillusionment, which deals with what Leiber called "the existential hole that sits in the centre of our souls". The fatalistic spoken-word verses describe the narrator watching their house burn down, losing their first love, and even facing death, "that final disappointment", with sanguine grace.
The pair felt the song needed an actress to sell it so offered it to Marlene Dietrich and Barbra Streisand before thinking of Peggy Lee. After catching her show at the Copacabana in New York, they handed Lee a demo. She called them the moment she listened to it. "I will kill you if you give this song to anyone but me," she said. "This is my song. This is the story of my life."

Buyer's Remorse? Many Who Voted for Biden Now Have Regrets
Have you seen the Ron Johnson video that ended up going viral? It's a hidden camera clip where he explains how Trump managed to lose Wisconsin. In his mind, there were a number of GOP supporters who could not bring themselves to vote for the incumbent president. This caused them to split the ticket when they decided to vote for Biden instead.
These ticket-splitting types now have to reckon with the aftermath of their decisions. They were way too worried about Trump and now they have an even bigger problem to contend with. Trump has been removed from the equation. This means that they have to evaluate Biden on his own terms.
The Afghanistan fiasco ensures that hawks like Bill Kristol are going to be rather annoyed. It should not shock anyone that he and his friends are going to be more down on Biden at this point. This is what happens when you are not sold on Biden and you are only voting for him because he is not Trump.
The "never Trump" types come in two different varieties. Kristol describes the first group as being opposed to the idea of voting for Trump but still wanting to see the GOP seize a Congressional majority. Meanwhile, the second group (which Kristol is a part of) is more than okay with having the GOP majority restored. They still have additional concerns about the party that have to be addressed, though.
Has Biden lived up to his promise of bringing competence back to the White House? @lbarronlopez @mariatcardona @BillKristol @OKnox discuss pic.twitter.com/zcDz4ydT5D
— The Lead CNN (@TheLeadCNN) August 31, 2021
"I'm glad I voted for him, I'm glad it's not Trump, but I don't know. I don't think I can vote for him again. And also, maybe at the congressional level we need to check some of this stuff," goes the summary that Kristol has provided when it comes to the thought process of his friends these days. If the GOP was a healthy political party, they would be looking at Governor DeSantis as a viable candidate for 2024.
It's a decent chance that he would be able to lure back the Republicans who were not willing to vote for Trump the last time around. However, there are others who are worried that the GOP has become a complete and total personality cult. Will the Trump voters even be willing to turn away from their idol and accept someone new? It's a real question that is being asked in GOP circles at the moment.
We are not too optimistic on this front. On the other hand, we would not be surprised if four years of horrific Biden leadership causes people to go sprinting back to Trump. No one who voted for him was all that excited about it. We were in a moment where people were convinced that Biden would be the lesser of two evils. It's not like he ever did anything to convince people that he was the best man for the job.
His whole campaign came down to one thing: vote for me because I'm not Trump. It may have been enough in 2020 but that is not going to fly in 2024, especially when people have had four years to get a strong idea of what Biden's governance is like. These are not great signs for the Democrats. Biden's approval rating has dwindled as a result of the Afghanistan debacle.

There's a good chance that people are still going to be holding grudges about what has happened. He'll never lose the progressives but those people are going to vote Democrat anyway. These are not the voters he's concerned. The "never Trump" Republicans served as a springboard last time and they are not going to be present this time around.
Biden can still win back Kristol and his buddies. He'll need a little luck when it comes to the virus and economy but the pathway is there. The "never Trump" voters also have to be permanently converted into "never Republican voters". The next three years or so will show us if he is up to that task.

Leaker Claims Battlefield 6 Will Have 'Wacky Cosmetics'
Melika Zaidi April 28, 2021
According to a recent leak, the upcoming Battlefield title is set to have an array of unusual cosmetics.
Leaks have been surfacing left, right and centre with claiming to know details about the much anticipated game, however recently well known leaker Tom Henderson took to Twitter to share intel on the cosmetics that will be featured in the title.

In a reply to a fan on Twitter, Henderson stated that the upcoming title would feature "wacky cosmetics" which would be due to the "nature of the setting".
Henderson has previously suggested that the title will take place in a near future setting, around 10 years ahead, this would make sense with the inclusion of these wacky cosmetics.

The post read "Just due to the nature of the setting – I think expectations should be set that there will be some wacky cosmetics – Which isn't necessarily a bad thing and is actually pretty cool."

He went on to say that this wouldn't be a bad thing, instead it would be pretty cool leavings fans excited as to what the game may have in store if this leak proves to be correct.
Henderson also linked fans to a video about ballistic helmets which suggests this is the kind of cosmetic that could be in store. He has also previously mentioned that the title will feature robot dogs that players will be able to customise, although he didn't go into further detail about what that will look like.

Of course, with all leaks we must take this information with a pinch of salt although hopefully it is not much longer until we find out. If leaks prove to be correct a trailer was predicted to release in May announcing the title.
But in the meantime be sure to check back with us at Gamerficial for the latest news and updates.


Most of us have been taught it is the Church who is the bride of Christ. However, I've always found the Word of God a more trustworthy source of truth than any Church doctrine.
As for the Bride of Christ, it is none other than Israel (Isa 54: 4-8; Jer 2:1-3; 3:6-25 and Hos 1, 2, 3 esp 2:16, 19-20).
Betroth in the Strong's Concordance means "to engage for matrimony".
Please also understand we must not confuse the modern day 'Jews' or modern state of Israel with the biblical Israelites. The promises were made to the racial descendants of Jacob through the line of Issac only (later including others who accept Jesus Christ). These promises were never made to the converts of Judaism ('Jews') which is pagan religion.
This is because the word 'Jew' now means something completely different to the Hebrew and Greek words it was originally translated from. While the term 'Jew', was once a racial label referring to a descendant of the tribe of Judah (one of the 12 tribes of Israel), it has since been changed into a mere religious one. This has enabled many different nationalities who were never descendants of the Israelites to claim themselves to be 'Jews' who are not. In fact, entire nations of people through history have converted to Judaism and started calling themselves 'Jews', including the Edomites in 126 BC and the Khazars around the 8th century. It was this last group of people who later spread out to become the 'Jewish' populations of Eastern Europe.
Of course, I am not saying there are no true 'Jews' (descendants of Judah). I am simply making two important points. Firstly, most 'Jews' today are not racial descendants, but rather converts to a pagan religion and therefore have nothing to do with the biblical Israelites. Secondly, the few true 'Jews' (descendants of Judah) which do exist only represent a small proportion of Israelites since the bulk of Israelites are descended from the other 11 tribes and are therefore not 'Jews'. They are rather known today as gentiles.
God will fulfil all His promises to Israel, including their repentance, return to Him, their remarriage and eventual return to Palestine.
For further study please read 'Who are the Jews' and 'Who and Where is Israel Today'.


A family of seven did not perish when they discovered a fire in their home, but managed to get out of the burning house in just a few minutes.
Because they had planned in advance what to do in case of fire and had had regular fire drills.
Does your family know what to do in case of fire?"
The indecision, confusion and the panic that often strikes a family when there is a fire can be avoided, if the family plans together in advance what everyone will do.
An escape route can be decided on for every room in the house, so that everyone can get out as quickly as possible.
An alternate route can also be planned in the event the main is blocked by fire or smoke.
Actually using these escape routes from time to time in home fire drills will impress clearly on the minds of everyone in the family.
All members of the family must understand that they must stop whatever they are doing when a fire warning is given and go at once by the planned escape route to the nearest exit.
This promptness will mean minutes saved during a fire, and that may be all they need to save their lives.
Another good habit for them to form is to close the doors behind them as they leave. This will help to bottle up the fire and slow its progress.
It would be well for the family to go through the motions of testing a door as to whether it is hot or cool before opening it.
Someone can stand on the outside of the door and call out "cool," and the one inside can practice the proper manner of opening it.
If an alternative escape route is through a second-story window, it would be well to install a rope ladder, such as is used to go up and down the side of a boat.
This can be kept in a neat box in the room near the window and the upper end of the rope ladder can be securely fastened to the wall.
In practice fire drills the ladder should actually be used so everyone will become familiar with it and not fearful of using it when emergency arises.
A good precaution would be also to keep a lightweight ladder, such as an aluminium one, located at a convenient spot outside the house.
If it is kept in a locked garage it will be of little value in an emergency. Perhaps it could be kept in along the side of the house behind some flowers and shrubbery.
As part of the plan for getting the family out of the house, this ladder could be quickly set against preselected windows by the first person out of the house.
Incorporated in the plans should be a spot where the family could gather when are safely outside. It will then be easy to ascertain if anyone is still in the house.
Many frantic parents have lost their lives by going back into a burning house thinking that a child was still there when he or she actually had escaped.
As other members of the family get out, one could run to the nearest fire alarm box and turn the alarm on.
Parents will want to instruct children on how to operate the alarm by actually taking them to the box. While there it is important to warn the children against turning in a false alarm as a hoax.
If the family lives in an upper floors of an apartment house, its members can be become familiar with the various escape routes that are available to them.
Their knowing what to do if smoke cuts off these routes is also important.
They can practice stuffing rags into the cracks of the doors to keep smoke out.
In an actual fire they could protect themselves from the heat by keeping these rags wet and gathering under wet blankets by the open windows to wait for firemen to rescue them.
The windows ought to be opened at the top and bottom so that any smoke that does get into the room will go out the top and fresh air will come in the bottom.
Since young children have a tendency to hide under a bed or in a closet when frightened, parents would want to train their children not to do this in case of fire.
With patience they should be taught what to do, even if it is just standing near the window to await rescue.
Firemen have lost precious time searching under beds and elsewhere for frightened children. They should also be taught to roll on the ground if their clothing catches fire.
A good system is one that will give automatic warning.
When a fire breaks out this is of great value because there is no assurance that anyone in the family will be awakened, if the fire happens at night.
Many people have been killed in their sleep. An alarm that will automatically make a loud noise in case of fire, will give occupants of a house more time to escape.
There are various systems that operate on heat-detection arrangement. When the air around a heat detector reaches a certain temperature the alarm is activated.
An alarm that will warn of smoke is even more valuable, because smoke is so deadly.
Most of home fires begin slowly as smoldering blazes that are not usually hot enough to active average heat detectors but could activate smoke detectors.
Although a detection system that warns of smoke and fire can be expensive, but when there is a fire it will definitely help save lives which is a more expensive loss if lost.
The tragic thing about the many deaths caused by fire in homes is that most of them are unnecessary. They could be avoided by advance planning.
Even if one is not able to afford an alarm system, one can have a fire escape plan and fire drills.
You may never need them; but if you do, they can mean the difference between preserving your family and losing it.
Why be indifferent to danger of a fire and suffer fatalities like the many fire tragedies reported in the daily newspapers?
To avoid making fatal mistakes during your escape, take action now to mitigate any effects that may occur when your house is exposed to fire. It is better to safe than sorry.

"Fat not only provides a valuable source of energy, but also delivers key building blocks for the body and essential, fat-soluble vitamins. Dairy, which is a natural source of fat, plays a key part in this because it is packed full of nutrients.
"In fact, evidence suggests that diets with higher amounts of dairy, including full fat versions of foods like cheese, milk and yoghurt, are associated with a lower risk of conditions such as a stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
"Including dairy in the diet can also help with weight management. People who consume more dairy, including full-fat dairy, have been found to gain less weight over time. It's a good idea to make sure you get your daily serves of dairy when following a weight-loss plan as this can help lose more body fat and maintain muscle," Dr Elisabeth Weichselbaum said.
However, not all dairy is created equal. New Zealand's cows graze outdoors all year round so are predominately grass-fed. Milk from grass-fed cows have higher levels of beta-carotene, omega-3, vitamin E and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a unique polyunsaturated fat. Early evidence indicates that CLA may play a role in supporting immune function, maintaining cardiovascular health and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
"As the multiple health benefits of fats become more well-known, we're seeing more consumers reaching for dairy as a nutritious and healthy food choice," Dr Weichselbaum said.

You get to know about whether or not you have adequate space to work around in or whether you might need to endorse some changes in the entire wedding setup to your clients.
Try to visit the place at the same time that the wedding is actually happening in so that you know how the lighting situation will turn out one way or the other. If you need to bring in your clients so you can gain access to the wedding venue, then go ahead and do it. Clients will appreciate the fact that you are going out of your way to get things done the right way.
Plan out your shot list as much as possible for the wedding photography Hertfordshire shoot. When you have a shot list prepared, you get to more or less make sure that everything will pan out according to how your clients wanted things to do down at the end of the day. Always loop your clients in on what you need to do and on what you need to take care of when it all comes down to it. You can feel free to go ahead and make any creative suggestions along the way but at the end of the day, the clients get to have the last say on whether you should proceed with the options that you suggested or not.
Stick to your shot list as much as possible.
Make sure that you do not miss out on anything. Forgetting to cover a single moment listed on the shot list can turn out with some truly damaging results for your relationship with your clients and this is what you need to go ahead and avoid as much as possible.
Have a good long talk with your second shooter.
Designate tasks ahead of time. When you get to assign tasks to your second shooter, it makes lines of responsibility so much clearer and easier to check out. This will exponentially reduce the aspect of confusion or of running around in circles during the main wedding event shoot. It is also so much better to get into something knowing exactly what things are being expected of you and from you at the end of the day. Make sure that you know about this and that you prep things up the right way.
Make sure that this is something that you are able to roll out the details to your clients, so that there will be no unpleasant surprises somewhere along the way. You need the extra layer of protection.

Oriol Romeu says Southampton will respond in derby clash against Portsmouth
Bournemouth put Saints to the sword on Friday ahead of a crucial Carabao Cup third-round match against Pompey.

Football Premier League Southampton
Oriol Romeu expects Southampton to come out fighting against bitter rivals Portsmouth after the setback of being beaten by south coast neighbours Bournemouth.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side were unable to recover from a dismal first-half display on Friday night as they suffered a first home defeat to the Cherries.
Despite Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium being just 30 miles west of St Mary's, Saints fans had been keen to stress during the 3-1 Premier League loss that clashes with Pompey are the club's only true derby encounter.
Southampton travel to Fratton Park on Tuesday to face Kenny Jackett's League One side for the first time since 2012 and midfielder Romeu is confident of producing a positive response during the Carabao Cup third-round tie.
"Sometimes things just don't fall the way you want to see them, and that's football. I'm sure we will react, I'm sure we will do better," the Spaniard told Southampton's website.
"We have a massive one now ahead and we're all very, very excited about that game to get back to the winning feelings and sensations and to start building something good again.
"There needs to be a reaction surely now and we want to prove that we are not a team that loses and does nothing about it.
"We know how important it is, we know how tough it will be over there, we know it will be a battle but we are ready for it and we want to get that very important win for us, and the fans, and the club."
First-half goals from Nathan Ake and Harry Wilson paved the way for Bournemouth's historic St Mary's success, which ended a 15-match winless run on Southampton soil dating back to 1953.
The Cherries, who also had a Joshua King effort disallowed by VAR for offside at 1-0, wrapped up the three points deep into added time through Callum Wilson's fourth goal in three games after a James Ward-Prowse penalty gave the hosts hope of a comeback.
Eddie Howe's men climbed to third place in the table on the back of their victory, level on points with champions Manchester City ahead of the weekend fixtures.
Manager Howe, whose team won successive games for the first time since January, still believes his players are capable of significant improvement.
"We feel we were at probably 60 per cent (on Friday), we know there's a lot more to come from the team but that's a very good thing to say on the back of winning here," he told Bournemouth's website.
"To win away in any ground in the Premier League really is so difficult and we really do respect Southampton.
"I still feel there's a lot more to come from everyone in the team, the team itself, but (that is a) very good sign if you're saying that while you are winning.
"We know we're not where we want to be, we've got work to do and that's why it is important we stay grounded."

Q: SciPy Rounding Errors with Beta Distribution I'm using stats.beta.ppf(prob,alpha,beta) with very high probability values, for example 0.999999805056895.
This appears to be producing incorrect results (it looks like a rounding problem to me). When I do the same calculation in Excel the results are as expected.
Does anyone know how I can get the correct result in Python?
Excel Formula is: is =BETA.INV(J2,N2,O2)*H2
Where J2 =0.999999805056895,
N2 = 0.671166820760872,
O2 = 429675.55588237,
H2 = 8865918892259.66

The Excel result is 294,195,914. But Python produces 8,865,913,813,427.

Q: Parent pointer in linux kernel RBTree I am interested in knowing how is parent pointer maintained ? As far as I understand there's a single variable unsigned long in linux rbtree which stores the address of the parent pointer and the color node ? I am unable to understand how this is possible without the parent pointer getting modified even if its 1 bit color field.
A sample usage as in rbtree.h
struct rb_node
{
        unsigned long  rb_parent_color;
#define RB_RED          0
#define RB_BLACK        1
        struct rb_node *rb_right;
        struct rb_node *rb_left;
} __attribute__((aligned(sizeof(long))));

static void __rb_rotate_left(struct rb_node *node, struct rb_root *root)
{
        struct rb_node *right = node->rb_right;
        struct rb_node *parent = rb_parent(node);
        ...
        ...
        ...
}

The macros are defined as
#define rb_parent(r)   ((struct rb_node *)((r)->rb_parent_color & ~3))
#define rb_color(r)   ((r)->rb_parent_color & 1)

I am unable to understand both the macros, which is related to my earlier question. rb_parent_color is long which holds the address of the parent pointer and color of node (evident from the rb_color macro.
All I am asking is how this pointer masking logic works ?

A: Get my answer as assumption,  I am too lazy to check it now :-)
Actually the lowest bit is unused because the address always aligned so the lowest bit MUST be 0;
The same manner they use the lowest bit in some situation in memory pages managent - they just use lowest bit in assumption that it always aligned and it must be 0; so setting it as 1 does't change things.
Good luck.

A: I was not aware that this was asked earlier.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card is one of the most popular premium travel rewards credit cards. Not only does the card have an excellent welcome bonus, but it offers compelling perks and points that make it worth holding onto long term.
There are many things to love about the card, like the 50,000 point welcome bonus, triple points on dining and travel, a Priority Pass membership, Visa Infinite perks, car rental and travel coverage, and much more. However, in this post I wanted to focus on the Chase Sapphire Reserve's $300 annual travel credit.
This is the single greatest perk of the card, as it essentially earns you back two-thirds of your $450 annual fee every year, and the way I view it, this means that the card only really costs you $150 per year to hold onto.
Understandable this perk causes a lot of confusion, since several cards offer travel credits, and some of them have a lot of strings attached. Fortunately the one on this card is quite straightforward.
What is the Chase Sapphire Reserve $300 travel credit?
Every cardmember year, the Chase Sapphire Reserve offers a $300 travel credit. This credit is applied to purchases automatically — there's no need to register — and you can use it over as many purchases as needed until the credit is completely used up (so that can be a single $300 purchase, 10 purchases of $30 each, etc.). This comes in the form of a statement credit that posts shortly after you make your purchase.
What qualifies as travel for the Chase Sapphire Reserve $300 travel credit?
Note that this is the same definition they use for the categories in which they offer 3x points. As you can see, it's not just traditional travel purchases that get reimbursed, but also things like Ubers, parking, trains, buses, and more. You can easily use the $300 credit in your day-to-day life.
When do I get my $300 Chase Sapphire Reserve travel credit?
As soon as you activate the Chase Sapphire Reserve you can immediately start using the travel credit. There's no waiting period required.
In subsequent years, your $300 travel credit is valid starting on your anniversary account date, which would be 12 monthly billing cycles after you opened the card.
How quickly does the Chase Sapphire Reserve $300 travel credit post?
The credit should post almost instantly after a purchase posts to your statement. For example, take the below transactions, which were for Uber rides. As you can see, the travel credits posted almost immediately. With this benefit you don't have to wait for several weeks for the credit to post, or anything.
Does the $300 travel credit impact the minimum spend requirement?
To earn the Chase Sapphire Reserve welcome bonus of 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points, you have to spend $4,000 within three months.
So how does the $300 travel credit play into that? Say you spend a total of $4,000, and $300 of that amount is travel, meaning that you're credited $300. Would you still qualify for the bonus?
Yes, absolutely. The total amount you spend (minus the annual fee) counts towards the minimum spend requirement. So even if you get the $300 credit, you'd still have completed the minimum spend.
Do you earn triple points for reimbursed transactions?
One of the great things about the Chase Sapphire Reserve is that it offers triple points on dining and travel. So if you spent $300 on travel, you'd ordinarily earn 900 Ultimate Rewards points for that. However, unfortunately for the amount that's reimbursed you're not going to be earning those triple points.
What happens if you refund a transaction that's reimbursed?
How can I track how much of my $300 travel credit I've used?
When you go to the Ultimate Rewards homepage and log into your account, look at the very right of the page, where you'll see a counter that shows your progress towards spending with the $300 annual travel credit. What's also cool about this page is that it shows you when your next travel credit will kick in — in my case it's after my statement closing date in December 2019, as I just recently had my account anniversary.
Do most people use the full $300 travel credit?
There's no published data on this, though I'd have to assume that a vast majority of people with the Chase Sapphire Reserve are fully utilizing the travel credit. That's why I feel comfortable suggesting that for most users, it lowers the real annual "out of pocket" on the card by about two thirds.
Let me take it a step further — if you don't use the full $300 travel credit then this card simply isn't for you. There are better cards out there for someone who doesn't spend at least $300 per year on taxis, Ubers, subways, trains, hotels, airlines, etc.
If everyone can use this so easily, why doesn't Chase just lower the annual fee to $150 instead?
Many people are deterred by the Chase Sapphire Reserve's $450 annual fee. However, as I've often said, what makes this card so special is that it's a $450 annual fee card for people who don't usually pay $450 annual fees.
That's because in reality, this card should be "costing" most people $150 per year, after factoring in the $300 of value they'll get out of the travel credit. This credit isn't a gimmick like you might find on some other cards, where you have to register, can only be reimbursed for very specific transactions, etc.
Instead with this benefit all travel coded purchases, up to $300 per cardmember year, will be reimbursed. If you have this card then you should get full value out of this awesome benefit.
"Paying" just $150 per year for triple points on dining and travel, a Priority Pass membership, the ability to redeem points for 1.5 cents each, and much more, is a bargain. That's what makes the Chase Sapphire Reserve so great.
does this card waive foreign transaction fees like Chase's cheaper Airline-partner cards?
And it's the reason that I dropped the Amex Platinum, which offers a travel credit that can only be used for a single, pre-selected airline and then only for some travel expenses (although some stack up on GCs, but that's not assured and I expect will be eliminated). So, I'd hope bloggers will stop suggesting that the Amex Platinum travel credit is equal to its nominal value.
@Lucky So, this seems like a very straightforward card. I have been thinking for a long time about this card as my parents absolutely love it. In another case, the Hilton Aspire is very frustrating when it comes to their Hilton Resort Credit. I have used my card at a qualifying resort for the charges that the resort fee should cover such as dining in their restaurants. I have already talked to AMEX numerous times, but the fee still has not credited back although the stay happened in late December.
I know you told me last time, it took three days for you, but that is not the case on my part. Not sure if the reason is that on the statement, the merchant name shows up as the individual business name and not as a Hilton resort, but it does so on its billing address and that resort does show up as a qualified resort when I checked it on the Hilton website. They keep insisting 8-12 weeks. Oh, they also ignored my email when I showed them the hotel bill as proof. I guess I am being too impatient, since even if it takes two to three months, I can get it back nonetheless. Thank you.
@pushslice…No foreign transaction fees period for ALL outside the country spend.
Also to answer your second post top down: No purchase of AF for upcoming year (AF is completely separate from ANY spend. You must pay AF when calendar year is reset). Yes all travel expenses will be reimbursed up to $300 making your intial AF only $150 as Lucky stated. Yes 3x ONLY on the purchases made for travel and dining. 50k SUB ONLY on the $3700 spend if the $300 travel reimbursement is included in your 4k spend. Hope this helps!
yes thank you, that's helpful. One more question, if I may: If i redeem my points for travel purchase via the Ultimate Rewards site, what exactly is my available 'marketplace' for purchasing? Is it just the airlines and hotels that participate in the '1:1 points transfer' option into loyalty programs? Or is it more airlines than that?
When does the credit reset? I PC'd to this card in November and used up the credit before the end of the year. Is it on cardmember anniversary?
Had some unused credit at the end of the year, so used what was left to charge up my Florida Sunpass for tolls. Credit posted the next day.
-I can wait for travel $300 credit to refresh on CSR. Use it.
-Downgrade CSR. I wasn't aware they refund AF within 30 days of charging it.
-Upgrade my CSP to CSR and pay the $450 but get another $300 in travel credit.
— Does doing this switch effect my credit score or credit line on either card.
Is that a solid strategy?
@pushslice you can certainly transfer Chase points to one of the airline partners, but that doesn't mean you have to fly with them. For instance, while you can't transfer Chase points to Delta, you can transfer them to Virgin Atlantic and book Delta award flights.
If nothing is showing up or you want to be picky, you can book with the Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal, which will give you 1.5 cents per point toward travel without the limitation of using transfer partners. Note the value there is nowhere as good as transferring points when it comes to premium cabin travel.
The best part of this card (besides the $300 travel credit) is the fact that if you use it to get 3X points or say, restaurants or travel, you can use those 3X points to send to United for miles. So lets say you get 1200 points (for $400 on restaurant spend), then you can use that for 1200 United airline miles. So you spent $400 to get 1200 airline points. Great deal! So get this card, it's great!
@farsighted99 — True, but one can do even better on dining with the CSR by joining the United MileagePlus Dining program in which one can easily earn the VIP status to begin earning 5x UA miles on dining with any registered CC. When you dine at any participating restaurant (you get a listing of all participating restaurants in your neighborhood), you'll essentially double dip when you pay with your CSR: for the same purchase on dining, you'll earn 3x UR points AND 5x UA miles. So, you are essentially earning 8x with the CSR on dining because, as you noted correctly, UR points are just an extension of UA miles if MileagePlus is the FF program that you patronize. The scheme does not work as well with the Citi Prestige because Thank You points do not transfer to UA miles, so you'll end up with 5x TY points and 5x UA miles, which you cannot combine.
I usually used Amex platinum card for all airline tickets except in the beginning of the year I use CSR just to get the $300 credit. Last week, I booked a UA ticket with CSR and later that night I canceled it cuz I had a change of plan. Since it was canceled within 24hrs, I thought the charges will just show as "pending" and disappear in couple of days. Lo and behold, I checked my statement tonight, the charges actually turned into "Sale" and there was the $300 "travel credit" followed by the credit from United!
What a easy way to cash in the travel credit without spending a dime.
Can I get the sign up bonus if I already have the Sapphire Preferred? I'm considering switching my daily spend onto a Reserve, but don't want to miss out on the bonus.
Anyone know if I'm covered if I rent a prepaid car through Hotwire/"hot deals" or does the coverage only apply if I rent the car directly from the rental car company?
@DCS thanks for the reply. I totally understand points your making… But i'm asking a different question.
-I can wait for travel $300 credit to refresh on CSR. Use it up within 30 days.
-Downgrade CSR. Apparently Chase refunds annual fees within 30 days of being charged. So in essence, I would be getting a free $300 travel credit.
-After downgrading my CSR I would upgrade my CSP to CSR and pay the $450 but get another $300 in travel credit.
Mine has consistently reset after the December close date, not my anniversary date.
@stinsley – Whatever you'd like to accomplish is not worth it. The CSR or the CSP are cards that you keep and use, not cards that you play games with.
In any case , I can tell you that "After downgrading my CSR I would upgrade my CSP to CSR and pay the $450 but get another $300 in travel credit" still makes no sense, but whatever you try, you'll not get the $300 travel credit twice in the same year, especially since you've already had the CSR, which will have a record. When you downgrade or upgrade, the record of the card you are upgrading or downgrading becomes part of the record of the replacement card.
Super Random Question….if I book an excursion through Trip Advisor, would I get 3x points on something like that?
Also I bought a shuttle service and had to cancel it a few weeks later. The charge used part of my $300 credit. When the refund was done, it was just applied to my balance, they didn't roll time off my annual credit.
I purchased airline tickets, and then within 24 hours decided I didn't want to take the trip anymore. The tickets were cancelled within the 24 hours as allowed for a full refund. Chase took the airfare from my annual credit of $300. After a few weeks of not seeing it reversed, I called Chase. The customer service rep told me they don't do reverses and commented that I pretty lost $298 of my annual credit. On top of that her additional comment was that "at least the airline refunded you", what a joke! Is there anything I can do? Anyone else experience this before?

Find Top Barber Schools in North Dakota
Why Become a Barber in North Dakota?
Hairstyles are increasingly being considered by people in North Dakota to be a projection of their personalities. As a result, North Dakota barbers are still very much in demand. However, most people are looking for trained professionals and will not just drop in on any local barber shop displaying a red, white and blue pole. Training to become a barber is a career move that offers many benefits for those that are both artistic and sociable. The artistic side is indulged by creating a plethora of different and sometimes challenging hairstyles. The social aspect obviously comes into play by keeping the customer engaged while creating your masterpiece. In fact, some barbers are so proud of their artistic accomplishments that they will take photos of their finished hairstyles and post them on their websites as a portfolio to attract new clients. And barbering lends itself to a more intimate form of customer service by providing time with the client while cutting his (or her) hair. This time spent together can lead to the development of a rapport or even a new friendship. As a result, many customers come back not only because they are pleased with the service, but also to enjoy the social amenities that their neighborhood North Dakota barbershop can offer.
Considering North Dakota Barber Schools?
North Dakota ( /- dəˈkoʊtə/ ( listen)) is a U.S. state in the midwestern and northern regions of the United States. It is the nineteenth largest in area, the fourth smallest by population, and the fourth most sparsely populated of the 50 states. North Dakota was admitted as the 39th state to the Union on November 2, 1889. Its capital is Bismarck, and its largest city is Fargo.
North Dakota weathered the Great Recession of the early 21st century with a boom in natural resources, particularly a boom in oil extraction from the Bakken formation, which lies beneath the northwestern part of the state.[5] The development drove strong job and population growth, and low unemployment.[6][7]
North Dakota is known for its sparsely populated rural landscape, for its long winters that on colder days produce beautiful sun dogs, and for being the childhood home of Lawrence Welk. It contains the tallest human-made structure in the Western Hemisphere, the KVLY-TV mast.

Meet Cubli, a research project which aims to make a cube that can walk around without using any appendages. It's a research project at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and control in Switzerland. Anyone else thinking about our beloved companion cube right now?
The robotic experiments are based on angular momentum. Inside of the cube there are center mounted motors which each spin a wheel. Three of these are mounted perpendicular to each other to give the cube the ability to change its position along any axis. This is best shown by the first video after the break where just a single side of the assembly is demonstrated. A square frame starts at a rest position. You see the wheel spin up and it is suddenly stopped, which causes the momentum of the wheel to pop the square frame up onto one corner. The wheel then switches into a second mode to keep it balancing there. The final mode is a controlled fall. This theoretically will let the cube move around by falling end over end. So far they're not showing off that ability, but the second demo video does show the assembled cube balancing on one corner.

1968 BMW 2002
By Carter November 4, 2019 November 21, 2019 BMW
To me it�s always a bit interesting to talk about peoples' motivations in getting a particular car, especially so when that car is a classic. For example, consider my Audi GT versus a Quattro. These days, if you can find one a mint condition Audi GT will set you back around $6,000 � $8,000 for the very best examples we�ve seen. That amount may get you a wreck of a Quattro, but likely not a particularly drivable one and certainly one you'll be chasing parts and rust on for a decade at least. In terms of driving experience, the GT is out of the box 90% of the Ur-Quattro experience for 90% plus of the time. Brought to a show, many non-Audi folks could probably not tell them apart. Yet, in terms of value gap, the iconic Quattro far outstrips the classic GT. We see it in other areas, too � for example a 73 911S versus a 77 911S, a E28 535is versus a M5, or even a 325is versus an M3. If you�re smart with your money, choosing the lesser example may not get you the headlines, but stretching your budget to get into a less serviceable iconic car is not likely to bring you more happiness, only more headaches. So while a plain-Jane 1968 BMW 2002 may not get all the price of the Turbo or even the tii models, it's certainly worthy of consideration:

BMW Roundie fans, rejoice! MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer one of the first BMW 2002�s every to be produced in Munich West Germany and is finished in sought after factory correct Polaris Silver exterior!
We are very excited to offer this particular BMW 2002 for sale on the market! We have sold over 20 BMW 2002�s in the past couple of years but this one is extremely special because it�s by far the earliest production example (#951) that we have ever had in our showroom. We acquired this BMW from the fine folks and BMW specialist Reggie�s Motorworks Inc. in Noblesville Indiana. They personally displayed this car at the 2018 BMW �The Vintage� in Hot Springs North Carolina.
Produced on 02/01/1968 in Munich West Germany and almost impossible to find, this very early production BMW 2002 is #951 out of the 339,084 BMW 2002�s produced off the line and 1 of only 4,489 of the first production year 1968 BMW 2002�s produced!
We have found that a lot of the early BMW 2002�s that have been restored have been redone with incorrect later production 2002 parts (1971-1976) because those parts a much more plentiful. This example still retains all its early production details such as front and rear slotted trim, red center taillights, early headlight buckets, silver dollar gauges, correct 3 piece dash, chrome interior door handles and rear chrome window latches, correct no headrest front seats with chrome side covers, correct early production seat vinyl material, �spaghetti� seat belts, correct door cards, correct headliner, correct Blaupunk AM/FM radio, early air-conditioning console, spare tire and jack and much more!
The correct Polaris Silver (code 057) exterior is in very good order. The wraparound pinch bumpers and trim peieces are in great condition. Only the early 1968 2002�s had the front and rear slotted black trim pieces and are very hard to obtain. The glass and lights on the car are all in good, original order including the red center roundie taillights. The bodywork is straight and solid while the engine bay is very tidy. The undercarriage is very solid along with the pedal box and shock mount towers.
The car has 13-inch BMW steel wheels with factory wheel covers that show minimal wear or curb contact and the car rides on Vredestein classic tires. In the trunk is the correct spare and jack.
In that engine bay is the engine that revolutionized the sport sedan market in the United States more than 50 years ago � the BMW M10 2.0L four-cylinder producing 100HP in a car that only weighs 2210 pounds. This example has been upgraded with a new Tii exhaust system and a upgraded electronic 123ignition hightech ignition system. The current engine block and head is from a 1971 BMW 2002 but the car still retains its original short nose four-speed transmission and rear differential.
This 2002 is equipped with the optional Frigiking Air-Conditioning and has been recently serviced with a new compressor and the blower motor functions and blows cold! The separate blower motor for the heater also functions correctly.
Inside, the correct black interior appears exactly like factory specifications. The black front buckets and rear bench are in great, overall condition, as is the corresponding black carpet, the white headliner, the inner door panels and the �Silver Dollar� instrument panel. The original three piece dash is in great condition with no cracks but does have a couple small mounting holes from a previous owner. In the optional Frigiking air-conditioned console is the optional Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo that really looks handsome in the BMW�s interior. Toping off the interior is a set of coco floor mats and correct gear shifter and steering wheel.
Documentation includes 1600 owners handbook (1968), 2002 conjunction US guide (1968 – only very early cars received the 1600 book with the 2002 conjunction guide), service station book (1967) and a copy of May 1968 BMW 2002 Road & Track article.
The BMW 2002 made its debut in 1968; a base model with a single carburetor developing just 100 horsepower, which was no real improvement over what the Datsun 510 delivered. In 1969, an automatic model was introduced with the base single carburetor engine mated to a ZF 3HP12 three-speed automatic transmission. This was, of course, not intended to be a sporting car but a fashionable and easy-to-drive coup�.
The BMW 2002 was one of the cars that not only saved BMW�s bacon, it became a car that played a large part in re-defining who BMW were. The BMW 2002 introduced a well-developed sports coup� which was much more practical than similar competitors.
Competition to this BMW in 1972 included Audi�s 90, Mercedes-Benz�s 280S and MG�s MGB GT.
The 2002 was made with German engineering and quality control that gave it a significant edge over its competitors: the BMW�s earned themselves a reputation for being reliable and near bulletproof (perhaps that�s a reason the Baader-Meinhoff Gang liked them). Even nowadays, the cars being decades old, the electrical systems are typically still functioning OK: something that could not be said for the BMW 2002�s British and Italian competitors. One of the great selling points of the BMW 2002 nowadays is that parts are still available, making the restoration and maintenance of one of these little gems much easier than for many other cars of this vintage. MotoeXotica Classic Cars invites you by to check out this 2002 today, before someone else takes it home.

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 38,499 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt Indiana title. Please note that this BMW is a 1968 but titled as a 1969. We have found this to be common with this model. This is the 3rd early production 1960�s USDM BMW that we have had that the title was a year later such as our early 1971 Bavarian was titled as 1972 and we have another 1968 2002 that is titled as a 1969.
GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!?
Note: Please see full terms and conditions listed below that pertain to the purchase of any said vehicle, thank you.
The first year production of the 2002 was the revelation and blueprint for the modern BMWs that would follow. While evolutionary over previous models, slowly the E10 put the pieces in the right place to really create an icon. The early 2002 was actually a stop-gap model; BMW couldn't get its early fuel-injection motors through emissions, so they stuck the single carb version of the M10 in as a replacement with the dual-carb version available as the 'ti'. It was down a few horsepower in single-carb trim to the 1600ti, but it could be sold here and 4,500 were that first year. There's a beautiful simplicity to early examples like this one too; the chrome, wheel covers and those fantastic taillights all helping to set it apart from the norm. Polaris Silver looks very nice here and is matched well by the black interior. It appears to be very nice outside of the poorly placed and unfortunately drilled in aftermarket radio antenna on the trunk lid.
With the reserve still on, it seems unlikely this car will sell this time around – especially when we know the seller is looking for $37,000. And ten years ago, $37,000 would have been all the money for a really nice 2002. But it's not ten years ago, and now a very nice 2002tii can set you back $50,000 to even $90,000 or more. Turbos can almost double that in the right trim. Does that mean this car is a deal? No, and if you're willing to wait a bit and accept more miles, you can still find really cool 2002tiis for the same price as this car. But original early examples are certainly hard to come by and as the saying goes, they're not making more…

Anti-government tribal fighters said ISIL's tactic was to flood the area around the city to force troops to retreat and lift the siege on Falluja.
Fighters in Iraq have added water to their arsenal of weapons after seizing control of a dam in the west of the country that enables them to flood certain areas and prevent security forces from advancing against them.
The dam helps distribute water from the Euphrates river on its course through the western province of Anbar, and is located some 5 km south of the city of Falluja, which was overrun by militants early this year.
Iraqi troops have since been surrounding Falluja and shelling the city in an effort to dislodge anti-government tribes and factions including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
In February, ISIL took control of the Nuaimiya area where the dam is located, and began fortifying their positions with concrete blast walls and sand bags, according to anti-government tribesmen who said no other groups were involved in the takeover.
The militants closed all eight of the dam's 10 gates one week ago, flooding land upstream and reducing water levels in Iraq's southern provinces, through which the Euphrates flows before emptying into the Gulf.
"Using water as a weapon in a fight to make people thirsty is a heinous crime," said Oun Dhiyab, a government adviser to the water ministry. "Closing the dam and messing with Euphrates water will have dire consequences."
By Thursday, militants had re-opened five of the dam's gates to relieve some pressure, fearing their strategy would backfire by flooding their own stronghold of Falluja, some 70 km (44 miles) west of Baghdad.
Iraqi security officials said flooding around the city had already forced many families to leave their homes and prevented troops from deploying or operating properly there in order to stop militants encroaching on the capital.
"They (ISIL) want to use the flood waters to make it difficult for the security forces to deploy in those areas and this is their chance to move the battle outside Falluja," said an anti-government tribal leader inside the city.
The Falluja dam is also key to a number of irrigation projects in the desert province of Anbar, which shares a border with Syria.
In his weekly televised address, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who held off a full-on ground assault on Falluja, vowed to exact revenge from the militants for interfering with the water supply.
"The murderers took advantage of the government policy of utmost restraint in Falluja ... But it seems the situation has become more complicated and necessitates confrontation," Maliki said.
Two army officers in Ramadi and Falluja said preparations were underway to launch a quick attack to regain control of the Falluja dam.
"We are carrying out aerial surveillance to spot militant positions near the dam," said one army officer whose regiment received orders to prepare for mobilising from Taji, to the north of Baghdad, to Falluja.
"A military operation could start very soon".
Iraq is a patchwork of desert and arable land. Its inhabitable areas are fed by the Tigris from Turkey, the Euphrates from Turkey and Syria, and a network of smaller rivers from Iran.
The decline of water levels in the Euphrates has also led to electricity shortages in towns south of Baghdad, which rely on steam-powered generators that depend entirely on water levels.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity said the power supply from Mussayab power station had decreased to 90 megawatts from 170 megawatts.
Government officials and advisers warned that ongoing closure of the dam could affect irrigation of farms in many southern provinces that depend on the Euphrates, including Hilla, Kerbala, Najaf and Diwaniya.
"Iraq is close to national elections and it seems they want to force the government into a corner," said one senior security official on condition of anonymity.

Foodbank volunteers power the fight against hunger
During National Volunteer Week, we would like to recognise and celebrate the significant contribution of Foodbank Queensland's generous team of volunteers. Last year, 324 Foodbank Queensland volunteers dedicated over 15,500 hours to help Queenslanders experiencing hunger. During a year of devastating bushfires, drought, floods and then a global pandemic, our volunteers helped us to continue delivering Foodbank Queensland's essential food relief services – from sorting food donations and packing food hampers, to driving Foodbank's purple trucks to rescue and deliver food across Queensland to support people in crisis.
To all of the people donating their time and skills to Foodbank Queensland, thank you. You are a big part of why we continue to rescue and distribute enough food to support more than 200,000 Queenslanders every month.
Marlynn loves to help people
During the midst of the pandemic, Marlynn began volunteering at Foodbank Queensland packing COVID-19 food relief hampers to support Queenslanders in crisis. One year later, Marlynn is now one of Foodbank Queensland's valued donation sorters, helping our Member Charities easily access sorted food relief products and pre-packed orders for their vital food relief programs.
"When I retired, I wanted to donate my time to a reputable, well admired organisation. I found this in Foodbank Queensland. The knowledge that my efforts are instantaneous and go out to a large and varied group of individuals requiring such basic assistance, is gratifying and rewarding."
"I have met the most warming and caring people at Foodbank Queensland who inspire me to continue to offer my support. I am so proud to work at Foodbank Queensland." – Marlynn
Glenn wants to help families just like his
For over a year, Glenn has generously been volunteering at Foodbank Queensland every Friday, sorting mixed food donations from farms and retailers that arrive at Foodbank.
"I had been looking for a charity to join for a while but couldn't decide on one. During the COVID-19 lockdown, my employer gave us a list of charities we could volunteer at part time. I chose Foodbank Queensland because when I was younger, I grew up in a household with a lot of poverty and domestic violence and we were helped a lot by a food relief organisation. At the time I knew no better, but as I got older, I was thankful that someone had helped us. Quite often they were the difference between whether we had a meal to eat or not."
"I like to think that I could be helping a family that could be in the same situation we were. The people that I work with at Foodbank Queensland are just terrific caring human beings. The world would do well to have more like them." – Glenn
Suzie wants to make a difference
The pandemic didn't stop Suzie from helping people in need! In May 2020, Suzie lost her job at Flight Centre, due to COVID-19. While others were forced into lock down, Suzie wanted to use her free time to help people in need, so she started volunteering for Foodbank Queensland to support people in crisis.
"Volunteering at Foodbank Queensland is such an important and rewarding part of my life. Not only do the Foodbank team make me feel so valued, but it's also an incredible feeling knowing that every day I volunteer at Foodbank Queensland, I can help one more mother, child, grandparent or vulnerable member of our community who are struggling to put food on the table." – Suzie
Thank you to all of Foodbank Queensland's volunteers for the vital role you play in fighting Queensland's hunger crisis.
Volunteer at Foodbank Queensland
We value diversity and believe everyone can make a difference. By joining the Foodbank Queensland family as a volunteer, you will make a direct and positive community impact – helping us to provide food for over 25 million meals every year.
Regardless of your skills or experience, there are plenty of ways you can get involved. From administration to warehouse work, and driving to customer service roles, so check out our volunteer opportunities and join us in the fight against hunger!
