Police investigate two large blasts heard near Pakistan's capital.
Rawalpindi houses the headquarters of Pakistan's army and the residence of Parvez Musharraf, the president.
The blasts came as Pakistan was engaged in a military operation against the Taliban in its northwest tribal regions.
A month earlier, a car bomb killed at least six people near the Danish embassy in Islamabad.

Abdul Candao – Pinoy Tenor
Apr 07, 2015 editor Lifestyle Comments Off on Abdul Candao – Pinoy Tenor
This post has already been read 555048 times!
Abdul with Filipino Friends
Abdul Candao, a Pinoy professional tenor is making a name in the German-speaking countries of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Abdul had played a couple of times already the leading star of Franz Lehar's musical play "Land des Lächelns" (Land of Smiles), where he played Prince Sou-Chung, the son of an emperor from China. The musical play had been staged in key cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland under the auspices of the Hanover Opera House, where Abdul is a resident artist. "I am very much honored to get this role since a number of European professional vocalists have auditioned for this. This proves that may ibubuga talaga ang mag Pinoy kahit saan sila ilagay. I am very proud for this," said Abdul.
Beginnings Abdul is considered as the first Muslim tenor vocalist from Maguindanao. He comes from a prominent family in the region. The Candao's are known in the province. Abdul's father was the brother of Maguindanao former governor Zacaria Candao. His father was shot dead while driving his younger children to school. "My father had always been proud of me with my achievements at home but I know that he would be doubly proud to hear that I made it in the international scene," Abdul commented. Before making a name here in Europe, Abdul already had a lot of musical and opera experiences in the Philippines. He was a member of "Kayumangging Kalikasan" under the late Prof. Ernani Cuenco. "The time under Prof. Ernani Cuenco gave me a lot of experiences and I was able to perform regularly on stage. I regard this period important for my training," asserted Abdul.
A scholar of the UST Conservatory of Music where he was a scholar of Prof. Irma Potenciano, he graduated Bachelor of Music under the late Prof. Kathy Sternberg. He garnered another scholarship grant from the CCP Young Artist Fund. This took Abdul to the Opera School of the Vienna Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of the school's best instructors and masters. Before finishing his studies in Vienna, he already performed in different musical and opera shows. Two months after his graduation in 1995, he got a contract to be a part of the ensemble of a musical called Elisabeth. The play is an original Austrian musical named after Elisabeth, the empress of Austria. Abdul played the role of a Baron in this long-running musical. He also performed several leading roles in Bernstein's Candide before signing up another contract as tenor of the opera house in Hanover, Germany.
Competition In spite of the big competition in Europe, especially when it comes to classical, musical, operetta performances, Abdul could still manage to sing and compete with other known vocalists in Europe. Abdul commented: "Europe is a big market. You must sell yourself as a finished product. In Europe is indeed the real world. There is so much competition here. Singers are everywhere and everybody would present themselves as a finished product. Kaya pakapalan na lang ng mukha. I have to present myself, too, at kaya ko naman. This is not Manila, where your relatives, if influential, can get a job for you. This would not work in Europe. You just cannot sit and wait to get discovered." Now, Abdul is enjoying his dream role in the play "Land des Lächelns."
Abdul and the Pinoy community in Austria Aside from his regular opera shows, Abdul still finds time to give concert for the Pinoy audience here. Last November 2007, he gave an all-Filipino classical concert where he sang original Pilipino Music and kundiman, too. There was a number of Pinoy classical enthusiasts in the audience, although Abdul expected more Filipinos. "Inasahan ko talagang maraming Filipinos na manood sa concert pero mas marami pa ang mga dayuhan. I did exactly the concert to encourage the Filipinos to come to classical concerts. Sayang at kaunti lamang ang dumalo. My only wish is that, Pinoys should learn to love their own music. Mahalin natin ang ating sariling musika at ipagmalaki natin ito," said Abdul.

the where and the what…
Tag Archives: Wawel Hill
Over the long bank holiday weekend, we visited Kraków, Poland. This attractive, colorful city with Old World charm buzzes with history, delicious food, and diverse sights. Despite the tragedies of World War II that affected so many of its inhabitants, the city itself escaped mass destruction. Today's Kraków is a vibrant, fascinating place. Here are some of the sights of this historic city…
The Planty
Surrounding the Old Town is the Planty—one of Krakow's nicest features (or at least we think so). The Planty is a ring of public parks (or green belt) where the medieval protective walls and moat once stood. It's a pleasant place to take a stroll or people-watch when you have a bit of downtime on your itinerary.
St. Mary's Basilica (left) and Cloth Hall (right) in Main Market Square
Main Market Square (Cloth Hall-left)
The majority of Krakow's sights are located in the Old Town historical district, except for Wawel Hill which is just south of here. Main Market Square (Rynek Glowny) is the city's center and main tourist hub offering many dining and shopping options. This massive square is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe.
Cloth Hall in Main Market Square
Cloth Hall Interior
The Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) takes center stage in Main Market Square. This structure dates back to the mid-14th century when Kraków was an important international trading post. The name Cloth Hall comes from the trading of textiles, but many other commodities were bought and sold here as well.
St. Mary's Basilica
The beautiful St. Mary's Basilica (Bazylika Mariacki), in the northeastern corner of Main Market Square, is yet another amazing European church. Its main draw is the 42-foot-wide and 36-foot-high sculptured altarpiece of scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary by Veit Stoss. It is a magnificent work of art.
One interesting tradition that takes place at St. Mary's is the hejnal, or half-a-tune bugle call, played every hour from the Basilica's left tower. The most common medieval legend states that during an enemy attack the watchman only got half-way through the warning song before an arrow pierced his throat…hence the half-tune played today.
Floriańska Gate—One of the few surviving parts of the city's old fortifications.
Floriańska Street leading to Main Market Square
Once considered the "Royal Road", as all visiting nobility would travel this way to Wawel Castle, today's Floriańska is a popular commercial street brimming with restaurants, cafes, retail shops, hotels and a "famous" McDonald's…
McDonald's Gothic Cellar
When this particular McDonald's was built, a Gothic cellar was discovered and now serves as additional seating for this fine eatery.
Wawel Cathedral on Wawel Hill
Just south of Old Town is Wawel Hill (pronounced Vah-vehl). This historic area, including Wawel Castle and Wawel Cathedral, is an important symbol for all of Poland. The Wawel Cathedral (Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Stanislaus and Wenceslaus) is Poland's national church and has served as both the coronation site and burial site for Polish monarchs as well as for those of national importance.
Pope John Paul II, the very first Polish Pope, said his first mass as a priest at the Cathedral in November 1946.
Inner Courtyard of Wawel Castle
Wawel Castle, the Royal Residence of the past, offers visitors tours of the Royal Private Apartments and State Rooms along with access to other permanent exhibitions within the castle complex.
Dragon's Den on Wawel Hill
Another one of Krakow's legends is that of the Wawel Dragon (Smok Wawelski) on Wawel Hill…
Home of the Wawel Dragon
It is said that long ago the Wawel Dragon lived inside these craggy caves and feasted on young maidens…
Wawel Dragon
until he was killed by a poor shoe-maker who stuffed a sheep (or was it a lamb?) with sulphur and left it for the dragon to eat. The dragon then developed an insatiable thirst and drank from the Vistula River until he burst. As a reward, he won the hand of the King's only daughter. Way to go shoe-maker!
Apart from all the sights and folklore Krakow has to offer, we stepped outside the city center for two side-trips—one to the Wieliczka Salt Mine (featured below) and another to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the notorious concentration camps of WWII (featured in another post).
Chapel of the Blessed Kinga at Wieliczka Salt Mine
The Wieliczka Salt Mine, about 9 miles southeast of the city center, is one of the world's oldest salt mines. Table salt was mined here from the 13th century to the late 20th century. Today these massive mines offer visitors a look into the world of a salt miner as well as the opportunity to admire the many sculptures made from, you guessed it, salt.

And that's all from Kraków. We had a wonderful time visiting this beautiful city. Dziękuję!

Day 3 of the Texas Voter ID trial is over. What happened?
The Austin American-Statesman is running an Associated Press report stating that Daron Shaw testified that the voter ID law would not have an impact on voter turnout.
Also testifying on Wednesday, according to Reuters, was Rev. Peter Johnson, "a Southern civil rights leader who has worked for decades to help black Americans access polls." The Reuters report stated that in his testimony, Rev. Johnson stated that racism was still "rife" in Texas from top to bottom and that the voter ID law was a manifestation of this.
And according to a report from the San Antonio Express-News, Sen. Rodney Ellis countered the State's evidence, asserting that the purpose of the voter ID law was to lessen voter minority turnout.
"They knew what they were doing, and they intended to do it.
The trial is expected to wrap up this week. The United States is expected to show that the Texas voter ID law imposes a substantial burden on voters; will suppress minority voter turnout; and has a discriminatory purpose, especially as it will make it more difficult for Hispanic and black voters to reach the polls, if this law is upheld. Texas is attempting to show that the law will not deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race or color, does not impose a legally significant burden on any voter, and will not decrease voter turnout. The state is also striving to show that there is ample voter fraud in Texas, and that the law was not enacted with a discriminatory purpose.

"You smell good" is one of the most basic compliments a woman can give a man. It's also one of the safer and more lighthearted approaches a woman can take if she happens to be interested in you, which can be quite helpful, as most women wait for men to approach them first. Make it easier on yourself and give her a reason to come closer by finding a memorable scent for the upcoming summer. My favorite fragrance for the past few years has been Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Incredibly light, subtle and easy to wear. That top spot has been taken over by another, just-released Dolce & Gabbana fragrance, The One Sport. It's a modern, minimal composition with the olfactory classification of aromatic water. Fresh and energetic, with watery notes accented by rosemary, woody Sequoia Forest and spicy Cardamom. But don't get caught up in the details, just try it, and I assure you compliments will follow. Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport, $73 for a 3.3 ounce bottle, available at Bloomingdale's.

Nashville Predators let one get away with loss to the Edmonton Oilers 3-2
By Hank Bonecutter
Nashville Predators Hockey
Edmonton Alberta, Canada – The Nashville Predators saw one slip away tonight against the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2.
Some questionable officiating late in the game put Nashville's back against the wall against the number one power play in the league, and the Oilers took full advantage.
Craig Smith got the Predators off to a great start, scoring at 12:17 of the first period, scoring on the backhand from the slot as he picked up the loose puck for the score. Nashville took a 1-0 lead.

Into the second period at 17:06 , Nick Bonino would give Nashville the 2-0 lead, deflecting a Dan Hamhuis wrist shot past Mike Smith, in goal for the Oilers.
Then, with just 9 seconds remaining in the second period, a fluke play would draw the Oilers to within a goal, when a defected shot would rebound off of the skate of Nashville's Kyle Turris and into the net past Juuse Saros, and just like that, the Oilers were within a goal, 2-1.
That goal would prove to give Edmonton some momentum heading into the final period, but some questionable calls against the Predators would give Edmonton the advantage going into the third period.
At 3:42 of the third, Leon Draisaitl took a pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, then fired a snap shot from the wide side past Saros,to tie the game, 2-2.
At11:13, Edmonton's Connor McDavid was called for interference and the Predators should have gone on the power play, but then the officials called embellishment against Nashville's Mikael Granlund, nullifying the man advantage.
Nashville head coach John Hines was none to happy at the call, but there would be another controversial call later in the period when Jarred Tinordi would be tagged for interference against Draisaitl at 12:45. The inconsistency of the call would be the controversy for the Predators.
At 13:02, it was Draisaitl again for the Oilers who would score to give Edmonton the lead, 3-2. The number one power play in the league didn't disappoint the home crowd as Edmonton would forge ahead.
Nashville is still trying to work their way into the wild-card slot of the western conference, and a win tonight would have gone a long way towards that goal. Edmonton was three point ahead of Nashville before tonight, but gained some breathing room for the time being.
The Predators will travel to Vancouver on Monday night to complete the four game road trip, then return home to the Bridgestone Arena to host the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

The Five First Saturdays Devotion
How to Precisely fulfill the Five First Saturdays Devotion
as Requested by Our Lady of Fatima
Our Lady of Fatima Promises all the Graces Necessary for Heaven
if a Catholic Finishes the Five First Saturdays Devotion
"Whether the world has war or peace depends on the practice of this devotion, along with the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is why I desire its propagation so ardently, especially because this is also the will of our dear Mother in Heaven." -Sr. Lucy (March 19, 1939)
During her July apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to Lucia, "I shall come to ask... that on the First Saturday of every month, Communions of reparation be made in atonement for the sins of the world." Although she made no further mention of this devotion at Fatima, on December 10, 1925, our Blessed Mother again appeared to Lucia at Pentevedra, Spain, where the seer had been sent to the Dorothean Sisters to learn to read and write. It was there Our Lady completed her request for the Five First Saturdays and gave her great promise.
Appearing with the Queen of Heaven in that apparition was the Infant Jesus, Who said to Lucia: "Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother. It is covered with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to remove them with an act of reparation."
Our Lady then spoke: "See, my daughter, my Heart encircled by thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Do you, at least, strive to console me. Tell them that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five successive months, go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for a quarter of an hour, meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary."
The elements of this devotion, therefore, consist in the following four points, all of which must be offered in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. One should make this intention before carrying out Our Lady's requests. A renewal of the actual intention at the time is best; however, if such an intention is made now, it will fulfill the requirements if, for instance, the actual intention is forgotten at the time of confession.
Confession: This confession can be made before the First Saturday or afterward, provided that Holy Communion be received in the state of grace. In 1926, Christ in a vision explained to Lucia that this confession could be made a week before or even more, and that it should be offered in reparation.
Holy Communion: Before receiving Holy Communion, it is likewise necessary to offer it in reparation to Our Lady. Our Lord told Lucia in 1930, "This Communion will be accepted on the following Sunday for just reasons, if my priests allow it so." So if work or school, sickness, or another just reason prevents the Communion on a First Saturday, with this permission it may be received the following Sunday. If Communion is transferred, any or all of the other acts of the devotion may also be performed on Sunday if the person so desires.
Rosary: The Rosary is a vocal prayer said while meditating upon the mysteries of Our Lord's life and Passion and Our Lady's life. To comply with the request of our Blessed Mother, it must be offered in reparation and said properly while meditating.
15-minute meditation: Also offered in reparation, the meditation may embrace one or more mysteries; it may include all, taken together or separately. This meditation should be the richest of any meditation, because Our Lady promised to be present when she said "...those who keep me company...."
To those who faithfully follow Our Lady's requests for the Five First Saturdays, she has made a wonderful promise which she, as Mediatrix of All Graces, will certainly fulfill: "I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation." This means that our Blessed Mother will be present at the hour of death with the actual grace of final perseverance, (which after the gift/grace of Faith), is the most important grace.
After completing the Five First Saturdays, one may continue the devotion simply to console the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady. A tender love of our Blessed Mother will lead one to do all he can to make reparation for the sins which pierce her Immaculate Heart. Let us remember, too, that although Our Lady made this promise to those who would observe five such First Saturdays in succession, in her July apparition she asked simply that Communions of reparation be made on every First Saturday to atone for the sins of the world.

Saturdays and the Immaculate Heart of Mary [Catholic/Orthodox Caucus]
Catholic Devotions: First Saturday Devotion to Our Lady [Catholic Caucus]
Catholic Meditations: First Saturday
Remembering the Forgotten First Saturdays
To: Salvation
In my recent confession, I relayed that I haven't been able to commit to my prayer obligations. The Rosary wasn't taught to me as a child, and doesn't come as easily, unlike spontaneous and contemplative prayer. I envy my disciplined husband who can commit to the Rosary.
A priest wisely told me, "if your mother asked you to wash dishes, would you wash them?" I said yes at the moment, but the answer is probably, "no". I was too undisciplened as a child, and feel the effects as an adult
What a great discipline the Rosary provides. Show me a person who prays the Rosary, and I'll show you a person who is disciplned and obediant to God. Show me a person who prays the Rosary, and I will show you a person who isn't a slave to his carnal instincts.
I'm still trying. I still love our blessed mother and still ask that she prays for me.

Hi Salvation. Thank you for posting this about first Saturdays. It is such an important devotion. But I went to the website it came from and, wow. It looks like some kind of sedevacant site or something like that. Do you know anything about it?

No, I was doing a search for something else and came across the article. Article looked OK to me.

Just wondering. The article itself is very good, just some other suspicious stuff on the site.

Past Exhibition of the Month - January 2013
Engraving by W. Sherwin after H. Howard. Frontispiece to XII Sonatas or Solos for a Violin a Bass Violin or Harpsicord. Opera V. J.Walsh & J.Hare: London, [1710?].
CORELLI	, Arcangelo	(b.Fusignano, 17 February 1653; d.Rome, 8 January 1713)
"We are now arrived at a memorable æra for the violin, tenor and violoncello; when the works and performance of the admirable ARCANGELO CORELLI rendered them respectable, and fixed their use and reputation, in all probability, as long as the present system of Music shall continue to delight the ears of mankind. Indeed, this most excellent master had the happiness of enjoying part of his fame during mortality; for scarce a contemporary musical writer, historian, or poet neglected to celebrate his genius and talents; and his productions have contributed longer to charm the lovers of Music by the mere powers of the bow, without the assistance of the human voice, than those of any composer that has yet existed. Haydn, indeed, with varied abilities, and a much more creative genius, when instruments of all kinds are better understood, has captivated the musical world in, perhaps, a still higher degree; but whether the duration of his favour will be equal to that of Corelli, who reigned supreme in all concerts, and excited undiminished rapture full half a century, must be left to the determination of time, and the encreased rage of depraved appetites for novelty.
....However, if we recollect that some of Corelli's works are more than a hundred years old, we shall wonder at their grace and elegance; which can only be accounted for on the principle of ease and simplicity. Purcell, who composed for ignorant and clumsy performers, was obliged to write down all the fashionable graces and embellishments of the times, on which account, his Music soon became obsolete and old fashioned; whereas the plainness and simplicity of Corelli have given longevity to his works, which can always be modernised by a judicious performer, with very few changes or embellishments. And, indeed, Corelli's productions continued longer in unfading favour in England than in his own country, or in any other part of Europe; ...."

Serena Williams receives support after release of offensive cartoon
by Bridgette Babb - Copy Editor
Photo credit: Wikipedia Commons
American tennis player Serena Williams is back in the headlines as a derogatory cartoon of her appeared in an Australian newspaper, The Herald Sun.
The cartoon depicted her reaction during the 2018 U.S. Open final, which some believe the depiction of Williams is racist.
Political cartoons can come in many forms. The artists make it a duty to evoke some kind of reaction from the reader. Mark Knight, an Australian cartoonist has done just that.
In the cartoon, Williams is shown as a "big baby," stepping on her tennis racquet and having a fit in the recent Grand Slam match against Naomi Osaka, a Japanese Hatian tennis player.
Also depicted in the cartoon, the umpire is seen telling her opponent Osaka, "Can you just let her win?"
This cartoon portrays the arguments Williams went through with gold badge umpire, Carlos Ramos and his cheating accusations, playing into the "angry black woman" stereotype.
Knight's cartoon ignited a national uproar as people from all walks of life stood up for the 36-year-old tennis player.
The comments focused more on how he depicted Williams, rather than the content itself. With oversized lips, broad nose and muscular body, Knight's cartoon style replicated the old Jim Crow era and how people of color were shown during that time. Williams looked like a brute.
Celebrities, women in particular, stood up for Williams and spoke on how this cartoon was not only an insult to people of color, but also to female athletes who have been discriminated against.
"Well done on reducing one of the greatest sportswomen alive to racist and sexist tropes and turning a second great sportswoman into a faceless prop," author, J.K. Rowling, tweeted.
Kathy Griffin colorfuly tweeted, "Hey @Knightcartoons just change your name to KKK Cartoons … Racist piece of s—t!"
Even other journalists and cartoonists have criticized Knights' work.
"In 100 years' time, this cartoon will be viewed no differently than old images of Jim Crow, or the newspaper cartoons drawn of Jack Johnson. Mark Knight has just drawn his way into the history books," tweeted British journalist Charles Thomson.
It appeared Williams and the family would not comment, but her husband and Reddit founder, Alexis Ohanian, described the cartoon as "blatantly racist and misogynistic."
He also aimed his anger at Editor of The Herald Sun, Damon Johnson. The Herald Sun, along with Knight, have been defending the cartoon.
Knight stated the cartoon was never about race or gender, but a sport superstar's bad sportsmanship.
"I drew this cartoon Sunday night after seeing the US Open final, and seeing the number one tennis player have a huge hissy fit and spit the dummy," Knight said."
The Herald Sun issue following showed various political cartoons that could be seen as controversial, with the Knight's included.
"If the self-appointed censors of Mark Knight get their way on his Serena Williams cartoon, our new politically correct life will be very dull indeed," the subhead read.
Knight has not issued an apology to the tennis champion, and insisted his intent was not to degrade her.
Radio host Julie DiCaro, questioned why he hadn't drawn a picture of a male player having a bad attitude in a match.
"Well Julie here's a cartoon I drew a few days before when Australian male tennis player Kyrgios at the U.S. Open was behaving badly," Knight responded, and showed the cartoon of Nick Kyrgios.
"Don't bring gender into it when it's all about behaviour," Knight aggressively added. "I'll accept your apology in writing."
His Twitter account has been deleted since the backlash. Supporters of Williams continue to spew comments against him.
This is not the first time Knight has been called out for racist cartoons. Earlier in the month a cartoon about train-station safety in the Australian state of Victoria, turned wrong.
The way he drew faceless black figures fighting in the background caused people to question what his motives really were.
Backlash against the image included disgust from Melbourne politician, Rohan Leppert, who said: "The racist vilification of Melburnians from The Herald Sun continues apace. Utterly shameful."
Personally, the content did not bother me as much as the drawing and response Knight gave did.
While some people may have thought Williams was having a temper tantrum, the constant violations Ramos issued were uncalled for.
People are entitled to react to things they dont agree with in any way they want, and she chose to take the gold badge-head on.
Just the fact that Knight thought it was okay to use that kind of drawing, knowing what it might mean for the African-American community is absolutely disgusting.

Q: django-tables2 ' table not displaying I'm working with Django-tables2. I can display a table using a model but can't get one to display using data. I change things but I'm not sure on how to get the table to display
view
def dictfetchall(cursor):
    desc = cursor.description
    return [
        dict(zip([col[0] for col in desc], row))
        for row in cursor.fetchall()
        ]

def Users(request):
    data = dictfetchall(cursor)
    table = ProjectTable(data)
    RequestConfig(request, paginate={"per_page": 4}).configure(data)
    return render(request, 'JiraAdmin/index.html', {'table': table})

table.py
class ProjectTable(tables.Table):
    name = tables.Column(verbose_name='Role')
    lead = tables.Column(verbose_name='Lead')
    display_name = tables.Column(verbose_name='User)

class meta:
    attrs = {'class': 'paleblue'}
    attrs = {'class': 'table table-responsive', 'width': '100%'}

            i = 0
            d = {}
            while i < len(x):

html

{% for results in resultsList %}
    {% for field, value in results.get_fields %}

           {%render_table ProjectTable%}

    {% endfor %}s
{% endfor %}

A: I think i faced the same issue!
The Meta class should be named correctly, otherwise rendering is quite abrupt!
You have the class name as 'meta' rather than 'Meta'
Your tables.py should look some what like this!
table.py
class ProjectTable(tables.Table):
    name = tables.Column(verbose_name='Role')
    lead = tables.Column(verbose_name='Lead')
    display_name = tables.Column(verbose_name='User)

    class Meta:
        attrs = {'class': 'paleblue'}
        attrs = {'class': 'table table-responsive', 'width': '100%'}

I know i'm pretty late on this thread, but this might be helpful for newcomers like me :)
Can you please try this and let me know if this solved the issue!

A: Please inspect the data you are feeding into ProjectTable. If it's not a queryset, it should be a list of dicts, something like this:
[
    {'name': '...', 'lead': '...', 'display_name': '...'},
    {'name': '...', 'lead': '...', 'display_name': '...'},
    ...
]

Refill shops: the once-niche trend that's going mainstream
The UK now has hundreds of refill or zero-waste shops, helping people reduce packaging. Now supermarkets are getting in on the act
Hannah Partos June 13, 2022
Economics Environment Lifestyle Society
As a sleep-deprived new mother in November 2016, Tash Gorst (main picture) was scrolling through her phone clutching her newborn son when she "fell down the rabbit hole of reading about plastic pollution". Fast-forward to July 2019 and she had opened Gather, an organic 'zero-waste' shop on Peckham's modish Bellenden Road.
With a mustard-yellow shopfront, nestled between a dim sum restaurant and a hair salon, customers come here to refill their own containers with everything from pasta and rice to sustainable toiletries and beauty products. And it's not only the produce that is sustainable – the shop is powered by renewable energy and financed by a more ethical bank, while all the units inside have been made from waste materials, mostly by Gorst herself.
Zero-waste shops have become an increasingly common feature on our high streets in recent years amid growing concern about plastic pollution and the climate crisis. Their arrival has helped breathe new life into some town centres. And they're no longer confined to 'environmentally aware' hotspots.
"A lot of these shops opened up after David Attenborough's Blue Planet came out in 2018," Gorst says. Seeing the suffering of whales whose habitat has been contaminated by plastic was a big wake-up call for many, she notes.
Where they have gone, supermarkets now look set to follow, with Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose all recently agreeing to install refill stations in shops by the end of this year. Meanwhile, Asda has introduced refill aisles to more of its supermarkets following successful trials.
With her right hand bandaged after an RSI injury – likely caused by lugging around 25kg sacks of produce – Gorst shows me around. A long table in the centre is reserved for snacks, with large jars of multi-coloured sweets, nuts and Bombay mix. Gorst is particularly proud of the till, which she made from an old door. "I fished a lot of old bits of wood out of skips," she laughs.
Refill shops help cut waste, but many also bring much-needed localism to high streets. Image: Gather
All very admirable, but aren't refill shops really mainly aimed at hipsters seeking to assuage their climate guilt? They largely fall into two categories, Gorst explains: the ones that prioritise accessible prices and others that sell more ethically sourced, sustainable produce.
As small startup businesses aiming to make responsible decisions without cutting ethical corners, they tend to be more expensive than supermarkets and chains, and Gorst acknowledges that not everyone can afford to buy from them.
"But if you can, you should. You'll feel good about the small decision that you've made in contributing to your local economy and doing something that's better for the planet," she said.
I shop here because I want to cut down on plastic waste, but it's also a lovely experience
Emily Drabble is a regular Gather customer. She buys everything that would "normally be encased in plastic", from cleaning products to staples like lentils and pasta, which she heaps into glass jars.
"I shop here because I want to cut down on plastic waste, but it's also a lovely experience," Drabble says. "When I get home, I love unpacking my shopping, throwing nothing in the bin."
And customers at refill shops get more than just physical goods, notes Gorst. As well as employing four local people, Gather, for example, holds free events, including a monthly book club for reading about sustainability, workshops for kids and also recently hosted a clothes swap. "I see it as a hub to bring people together," she says.
This article is the latest in our 'reinventing the high street' series. Over the coming weeks Positive News will be shining a light on the people, places and projects that are breathing new life into the UK's town and city centres as many retail giants abandon them.

Cybersecurity Dissertation Topics
Cybersecurity is an incredibly interesting topic area to complete your dissertation in, with it becoming increasingly prominent as technology is so heavily integrated into our daily lifestyles. Cybersecurity is always around us, from simple security systems that protect our mobile devices to complex strategies to secure personal data for big corporations. This helps to provide an array of different opportunities for completing an engaging and innovative cyber security dissertation. Some of the most important topic areas that exist within the field of cybersecurity include cybersecurity and cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity's impact on business and economics, the role of cybersecurity in world affairs, cybersecurity and cybercrime, and how cybersecurity connects with big data and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Big Data & IOT
Cryptocurrencies are very much the trendy topic in the world of cyber right now, with there being numerous studies exploring various aspects of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. However, few of these aims to contextualise the link between these technologies and cybersecurity, both for how blockchain technology can enhance cybersecurity, and what cybersecurity strategies can be used to protect cryptocurrencies. The following topic titles provide engaging research reviews into these key areas.
A historical overview on the development of cyber security to enhance cryptographic security of blockchain technologies.
A critical analysis of cyber-attacks and cryptocurrencies.
How can blockchain applications be used to support cyber security strategies to reduce the global threat of cybercrime?
How can cryptocurrencies be regulated in the European Union: What is the mediating role of cyber security?
Can blockchain technologies be used to front the new domain of cyber forensics?
An analysis of the future of cryptocurrencies and the mediating influence this may have on the state of cyber security strategies.
Organisations are having to invest more and more of their financial resources into cybersecurity to protect both their systems and their customers' data. This lends itself to many new study areas that aim to explore how cybersecurity can be managed in the organisational setting, and what the potential return on investment for these strategies is.
An analysis of the mediating role of risk management on the implementation of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
The use of Virtual Private Networks to enable remote working: A review of critical cyber security implications for developing successful VPN systems.
A critical analysis of the role of cybersecurity throughout the supply chain for enhancing supply chain performance and collaboration.
What cyber security measures can Small and Medium Sized Enterprises use to enhance their data protection protocols and build customer confidence?
A review of effective cyber security strategies for mitigating cybercrime risk to business operations and continuity.
What costing and investment models can be applied to effectively analyse whether the implementation of cyber security measures provides a positive return on investment?
It is evident that cybersecurity forms a significant role in day-to-day lives, with this instantly highlighting the significance of it in world affairs. From managing Covid-19 vaccination plans to GDPR, it is vital to understand the mechanisms in which cybersecurity is used to supplement ongoing world affairs and global projects.
The impact of Covid-19 on cybersecurity in an organisational context due to increased levels of remote working.
How should global legislation be created to help improve cybersecurity and reduce growing levels of cybercrime across the developed world?
Have the recently enacted General Data Protection Regulations had a significant improvement on the protection of personal data and helped to reduce cybercrime or identity theft?
Cyber security in the developing world: A critical analysis of opportunities and current barriers to implementation.
How can cyber security be used to enhance data protection through vaccination distribution programs to tackle the spread of Covid-19?
Cyber security and International Relations: How do the USA, China, and Russia manage cyber security when interacting with one another?
One of the most commonly aligned topics with cybersecurity is cybercrime, with this becoming an even greater threat as more people work from home and live their lives through technology. However, just as technology evolves so does the nature of cybercrime, with this always presenting the opportunity to research new and innovative ways in which cybercrime can be halted with innovative cyber security strategies.
The influence of cybersecurity of the elimination of cybercrimes: A case study of the Equifax cyber-attack.
A historical review of cybercrimes between 1980 and 2020: A critical analysis on the evolution of cybercrime and what future threats may be.
Novice strategies to protect against cybercrime: An analysis of how cybersecurity can be used by low-level knowledge computer users.
The influence of cyber forensics in combating cybercrime and as a fundamental strategy within the scope of a cybersecurity system.
What are the positive and negative impacts on the use of simulated phishing scams to build awareness of corporate cybercrime?
New methods of cybercrime: How can cybersecurity strategies be used to protect mobile devices from the threat of cybercrime?
Finally, big data and IoT form an imperative role in both organisational and social lives, with cybersecurity being fundamental to protect these systems. As both of these concepts are relatively new, there is a broad scope to potentially evaluate and conduct a research study on.
Determining effective cybersecurity strategies to support an integrated IoT system.
How to utilise cybersecurity when managing big data: A critical analysis of the use of detection algorithms.
An analysis of the mediating role of artificial intelligence in the development of comprehensive and autonomous cybersecurity systems.
What is the influence of machine learning on the creation of effective cybersecurity systems: A critical analysis of the banking industry?

All three of us who live here have independently come to the conclusion that we share our house with at least one ghost. Maybe more. My sweetie and I practically spoke over each other as we confessed to each other for the first time in twelve years that we hear sounds all the time. Our little one just asked me if ghosts really exist, again. They're one of those things I've never seen for sure, but I told her I can't rule them out.
I think we have ghosts, the young miss announced. I think they're real.
Who would know better than a little girl who spent most of her first six months hearing a chorus of voices she has probably been listening for since?
I think they hide behind doors. Maybe they like the downstairs. You know, where it's not all nice like upstairs. With the floor all covered with kitty litter and stuff? What, Mom? Maybe they like that!
Can they come in the cracks? Because I think I just saw one over there. Do you think there's more than one? Probably usually they live in a family, just like us.

Justia Patents Nonrigid Tethered TypeUS Patent for Infusion bag with string Patent (Patent # 6,746,699)
Infusion bag with string
Jun 5, 2001 - Teepack Spezialmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG
This invention concerns an infusion bag, especially for tea, which has a top part with folded down corners and a middle part folded over it, to which a string with two free ends is attached that goes from one side of the top part through a hole in the folded down parts forming a loop on the other side of the top part and comes back, whereby the two free ends are drawn up through the loop laid over the top edge of the infusion bag and pulled to form a knot. The solution in the invention is characterized by the fact that two holes are made in the top part at a lateral distance next to one another, on the left and right of the longitudinal axis of the bag; each hole goes through a folded down corner and the middle of the top part; by the fact that the string forms a loop and one end goes through one hole and the other end through the second hole; by the fact that the loop is laid over the top edge of the infusion bag, and both ends of the string go up through the loop to form a double knot. The invention also concerns a method of closing an infusion bag.

Infusion bags, especially for tea, and a method of closing an infusion bag with a string
The invention concerns an infusion bag, especially for tea, which has a top part with corners folded down and a middle part folded down over it, to which a string with two free ends is attached, which goes from one side of the top part, through a hole, forming a loop on the other side of the top part and back, whereby the two free ends are pulled through the loop placed over the top edge of the infusion bag and are pulled to form a knot. The invention also concerns a method of closing an infusion bag, especially for tea, closed on top by corners folded down and then a middle part folded down, with a string, preferably having a tag on the other end, by means of two needles.
It is known how to close infusion bags exclusively with a string. For this, the corners on top of the infusion bag are first folded down and then the middle part is folded over the folded down corners to make the closure of the infusion bag reliable. This closure is secured by a string that has several ways of being attached.
In one known embodiment in German Utility Model 296 13 448, the string on the top part of the infusion bag is attached there by means of a separate attachment string. This connection between the end of the string and the infusion bag cannot withstand high stresses and is technically expensive.
To create a simple way of attaching the string, it is known from EP 0 807 579 how to provide the folded top part with two recesses and place the infusion bag next to a tensed string in such a way that it runs at the height of the recesses and a tucking needle can be passed through each of the recesses, take the string and pull it through the recesses with both its ends. The free ends of the string pulled through the recesses in the infusion bag are attached to the tag, for example by welding or tacking. The disadvantage of this is that the attachment is loose and therefore not secure, and it is possible for the folded down areas on the top part to come unfolded, so the contents of the infusion bag can fall out or a loss of aroma and freshness can occur.
EP 0 691 268 discloses a string closure in which a needle goes through a single hole in the top part of the infusion bag, grasps the string behind and pulls it through the hole, forming a noose, which is then used to make a knot. The disadvantage of this is that it does not make sure that the folded down corners and the middle of the top part folded down over it are grasped together and with the bag by the string connection and are connected by the knot formed. The closure itself is not secure enough during folding, perforating and stringing with high manufacturing precision.
The problem of the invention is to provide a secure attachment between the folded down parts of an infusion bag and the bag itself with a string connection that can be made simply at a low technical cost and at high production speed.
The invention solves the problem with an infusion bag of the type mentioned at the beginning that has two holes made in the top part at a lateral distance next to one another to the left and right of the longitudinal axis of the bag that grasp one folded corner and the middle of the top part; that the string forms a loop with one end that goes through one hole and the other end through the second hole; that the loop is placed over the top edge of the infusion bag and both ends of the string are passed from below through the loop forming a double knot. The loop is preferably made of crossed string parts laid one over another, whereby one short end and one long end of the string can be provided, especially for attaching a tag to the long end of the string, and whereby to increase the safety of the knot, the short end of the string in the preferred embodiment is arranged in the string parts of the loop criss-crossed over one another under the long end of the string on the wall of the bag. With the invention, the attachment of the folded down corners and the folded down middle part to one another and to the bag is secure, and production is simplified because the comparatively thick, and hence difficult to tool, middle longitudinal seam of conventional bags need not be pierced or perforated. The knots keep the connection itself from loosening by two holes spaced apart and separate ends of the string ends that are doubled going through them, so that even if one end should come out of the loop, the knot through the second end of the string and the extra noose holds it secure.
Developing the known method described at the beginning, the method of solving the problem in the invention is characterized by the fact that: the end of the string is looped through a recess in a holder; by the fact that the top part of the infusion bag is inserted into the holder and the string is looped around the top edge of the infusion bag; by the fact that the string is then grasped on its free end and on its long continuous end by two holes in the top part that go through the folded down parts and the free end, as well as the continuous part that first goes into a loop and is then pulled all the way out of the infusion bag; and by the fact that the noose is finally tightened by pulling, especially on the continuous part. To grasp the string, two needles are preferably used that go through the infusion bag under the closed part of the loop, whereby the holder can have guide holes for the needles. To pull the string through, it must be cut on the continuous part, before the needles are pulled back at the latest. That way, the continuous part forms one long end of string, which can be used to attach a tag.
The method in the invention closes the folded down top part of the infusion bag exclusively using the string, and does not use extra string. The string is pulled through the top part of the infusion bag or pierces it with the needles, whereby the holder contains guide holes for the needles. The needles make only a simple motion to perforate the top part of the infusion bag, to allow a fast, simple sequence of movements. Previous perforation of the top part of the infusion bag is not essential. The top of the bag is securely closed by the two stitches to the right and left of the middle, whereby the folded down corners are also fixed. Attachment can be done in a continuous process at a calm machine pace and a high product count. The knot does not come loose due to the forces of friction even when slightly prestressed, i.e., when tightened loosely.
With the invention, a method of closing an infusion bag with a string is created with simple technical equipment and high speed; this method will be described below with reference to the drawings using one example of embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
In FIG. 1c, the infusion bag shown in FIGS. 1a to 1c is first closed on its top part 6 by folding down the corners 1a and 1b and then folding the middle part 1c over them, so that the substrate found inside the chamber, especially tea, cannot get out. Then the infusion bag 1 in FIGS. 2a to 9b is provided with a string closure 7, whose construction can be inferred especially well from FIG. 1b. To make the string closure 7, on the top part 6, two holes 8 and 9 are made some distance apart laterally on the left and right of the longitudinal axis of the bag, each of which goes through one folded down corner 1a and 1b and the middle part 1c of the top part 6. To make this possible, according to FIG. 1c, in the top part 6 of the infusion bag 1, a total of four recesses are provided on the as yet not folded down middle part 1c, which after the middle part 1c is folded down correspond to one another in pairs and form the holes 8 and 9 passing through the same axis.
The string closure 7 also has a string 3, which forms a loop 3a with one end 3b through one hole 9 and the other end 3c of it through the second hole 8, whereby loop 3a is on the front of the bag 1 in the drawing, and ends 3b and 3c are on the back of the bag 1 in the drawing. The loop is placed over the top edge 10 of the infusion bag 1, and the two ends 3b and 3c of the string 3 are passed through the loop 3a from below. Pulling one or both ends of the string forms a double knot 11, which attaches corners 1a and 1b and the middle part 1c of the top 6 to one another and to the infusion bag in the closed position.
It can also be seen from the drawing that loop 3a is made of crossed parts of string laid one over another, whereby the short end of the string 3b is arranged under the long end 3c of the string next to the wall of the bag in the criss-crossed string parts of the loop.
To produce the closure described, the infusion bag 1 in FIGS. 2a and 2b with its top part 6 closed is inserted in a recess 2a of a holder 2. Before that, a string 3 is laid over the recess 2a in the holder 2 in the form of a loop 3a, which can be best seen in FIG. 2b. The free end 3b of loop 3a here is put together with the continuous part 3c of the string 3 on the one side of the recess 2a, whereas the closed part of the loop 3a is on the other side of the recess 2a on the holder 2.
As can best be inferred from FIG. 2a, the loop 3a is pressed through the top edge of the infusion bag 1 into recess 2a, so that it lies over the top edge.
In FIGS. 3a and 3b, two needles 4, which are shown in the starting position in FIGS. 2a and 2b, go into the top part of the infusion bag under loop 3a. They grasp the free end 3b with their barb 4a (see FIG. 2a) on the bottom, on one hand, and part 3c of the continuous string 3, on the other, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.
Now, when the needles 4 are pulled back into the starting position, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, they take the free end 3b, on one hand, and part of the continuous part 3c of the string 3 with them, as FIGS. 4a and 4b show. While the free end 3b is pulled all the way out of the top part of the infusion bag 1, due to the withdrawal of the corresponding needle 4 a loop 3d is formed in the continuous part 3c of the string that is under the middle part of loop 3a. This situation is shown clearly in FIG. 4b.
Now, to make a noose all around the top part of the infusion bag 1 with the ends of the string 3, as shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, it is still necessary to pull the continuous part 3c, hence the long end of the string 3 completely out of the infusion bag 1. This is done, for example, by moving the infusion bag 1 on, so that the remaining part of the continuous part 3c of the string 3 is pulled completely through loop 3a. By applying a certain tensile strength on the continuous part 3c of the string 3, the noose is finally tightened so the situation shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b occurs.
To attach a tag 5, shown in FIGS. 6a to 9b, to the other end of the string 3, it is placed with its end 3e on one side of the tag 5, as in FIGS. 6a and 6b. The tag 5 is pierced, preferably by means of a needle, in turn provided with a barb, and the end 3e of the string 3 is grasped. String end 3e is pulled through the tag 5 in the form of a loop 3f in FIGS. 7a and 7b.
This loop 3f is now grasped and placed in slits 5a, according to FIGS. 8a and 8b, which are made on the edge of the tag. That way, the closed part of loop 3f comes back to the same side of the tag 5, on which the end 3e of the string and the continuous part of the string 3 are found. This situation can best be seen in FIG. 9a.
By pulling on the string 3, the tag 5 is looped around so that the situation shown in FIG. 9 occurs.
As can be seen from the preceding explanation of both the closure of the top part of the infusion bag 1 and the attachment of a tag 5 to the two ends of a string 3, the noose is made on the infusion bag 1 or tag 5 in both cases by simple means, to produce a reliable closure of the infusion bag 1 and a reliable attachment of the tag 5.

On October 4th, The Lost Notebook of Hank Williams will be released. As far back as October of 2008, I've had serious questions about the origins of these songs, the ethics behind the project, and the artists chosen to flesh out songs that do not include music. Now I have a new concern: why we are being given wrong information.


Shots. Just the sound of the word brings up memories from dreaded doctor visits where a nurse walks in with a tray of vaccines to inject an unsuspecting victim.
The best way to look at how vaccines works are to view them as the attempt to mimic a natural immune response that would occur in real life, but better. Vaccines work against bacterial and viral outbreaks and save millions of lives globally, but the importance of getting vaccinated has been clouded by continuous practices since the 18th century.
"The flu shot? I'm healthy. I don't need it," or, "Measles? I couldn't ever contract that!" are common misconceptions from our neighbors and friends.
Vaccines provide preventive measures as to why friends and families are able to live their lives without fear of catching a deadly disease, but how about in cases where ignorance is not bliss?
In a time where smallpox was sweeping through England and decimating populations of villages, Edward Jenner, the father of immunology, pioneered the smallpox vaccine. When cowpox was contracted by his milkmaids, Jenner soon realized that they were immune by the contagious smallpox virus.
After many successful trials later, it was found that his hypothesis stood: the pus in the blisters that milkmaids received from cowpox (a disease similar to smallpox, but much less severe) protected them from smallpox.
The smallpox virus, called Variola, is a global pathogen and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared smallpox as an eradicated disease in 1980, nearly 150 years after its' first discovery. The smallpox vaccine is 99.999% effective, and the eradication of viral infection bore ethical struggles amongst scientists because the existence of a life form was soon to become extinct.
Some civilians may assume that they have an allergy to the flu shot from previous experiences, but in reality, there are so many new strains of the flu vaccine that an allergy to the flu shot is irrelevant.
Dr. Spak also explained that if the United States population annually received the flu vaccination, between 5,000 to 15,000 lives would be saved! When considering the fatalities due to allergies from the flu vaccine are considered, the number stays at zero.
What is interesting about children is that they have continuously changing immune systems, so because they continue to grow, their immunizations have to keep up with them, which is where the importance of booster shots comes into play. Because of the misconception of diseases actually hitting home due to preventive action, vaccines have had a lessened emphasis throughout the general public.
In a recent news update by the Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) on June 11, 2013, there was a notification of a second laboratory-confirmed case of measles. This 14-year-old child was fully immunized, but had been a contact of the previously reported imported case last month.
Healthcare providers are reminded to consider measles in the initial differential diagnosis of patients with compatible symptoms, particularly those who have traveled abroad or come into contact with travelers or known measles cases.
Measles is highly contagious and is spread by respiratory droplets and airborne pathogens. The incubation period for this febrile rash illness is about two weeks. Patients are contagious from four days before the onset of the rash to four days after appearance of the rash.
In the healthcare settings, suspected cases should be triaged quickly from waiting areas, with airborne isolation precautions recommended. In outpatient settings, such patients should be scheduled at the end of the day, if feasible.
Persons with measles commonly present in physician's offices or emergency rooms and pose a risk of transmission in these settings. All healthcare personnel should have documented evidence of measles immunity on file at their work location.
Testing for measles should be done in patients meeting clinical case definition, which includes: (1) a generalized rash lasting ≥3 days, and (2) fever ≥101°F (38.3°C), and (3) cough, coryza or conjunctivitis.
Immediately report any suspected measles cases to DCHHS at (214) 819-2004. Contact DCHHS while the patient is present in the clinical setting, to facilitate testing and follow-up of potential exposures. A blood specimen for serology and throat swab for viral culture should be collected at the first contact with a suspected measles case.
Because measles remains endemic in much of the world, the MMR (measles-mumps-rubellaaccine) is recommended for children as young as six months of age when they are traveling abroad.
Children ≥12 months of age who are traveling internationally should receive two doses of MMR, separated by at least 28 days.
Maintaining high two-dose community coverage with MMR vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent outbreaks.
In children, the first MMR vaccine dose is administered at 12-15 months and the second at 4-6 years.
All college students, international travelers, and health care personnel should receive two doses of MMR vaccine, unless they have other evidence of measles immunity.
Check out the CDC's measles vaccination guidelines for more information.
Unlike smallpox, the MMR vaccine has no set reservoirs which make it tricky to guarantee life-long immunity.
There has been a pervasive mistrust of vaccines that has been unfortunately propagated because the general public outlived the horrors of diseases like polio that their grandparents once lived in.
We now get vaccinated at such a young age for a multitude of diseases that we forget the importance of follow up shots.

Recruiting Is Broken, And Video-Driven Readyforce Wants To Fix It
Dozens of startups have launched in the past few years claiming to fix the broken recruiting and hiring process. One of them, Readyforce, has already signed up some well-known startups with a relatively straightforward and compelling idea, and it's opening up its beta test today.
When it comes to finding the right job applicant, CEO Alex Mooradian says that "it's all about data." And when Mooradian says "data," he also means videos, which are a big part of a Readyforce profile. Unlike other sites that just ask people to record videos on their own (often resulting in stilted, awkward videos), Readyforce has actually hired interviewers to do 20-minute webcam conversations with the applicants, which can be edited down into a 3-minute highlight reel. (If you're not happy with the interview you can do it again.) Users can also fill out something called the "infinite quiz" (in reality, Mooradian says there are more than 100 questions) which tests their interests and skills.
Employers probably won't make hiring decisions based on Readyforce profiles alone, but they should be a provide a much better filtering mechanism than a generic resume (though yes, you can upload a resume too). As an example, VP of Client Services Anna Binder recalls one user who was not hugely impressive on paper — he was a CS major at not-particularly-prestigious school — but comes across as intelligent and articulate in the video: "Within 30 seconds, you say, 'I want that guy.'" (You can see a real, sample profile here.)
To start out, Readyforce is targeting a specific group of applicants (college students who are looking for internships or jobs) and a specific group of employers (tech startups) who want to reach them. After all, executives at pretty much any startup will complain about how hard it is to find talent, particularly technical talent. Colleges could offer one of the main solutions to that challenge, but building a traditional college recruiting program is tough. A Silicon Valley company might never have the time or budget to travel to schools outside the Bay Area, but with Readyforce, they can find promising students at those schools and reach out to them directly.
With the beta, students nationwide can create Readyforce profiles (though for now, the video capabilities are largely limited students at UCLA, Boston College, and Stanford), and companies can request to join the program. More than 300 companies are already using Readyforce, and some of them, including Bloomspot, Reputation.com, and SinglePlatform, have actually made hires.
Readyforce has raised $14 million from Menlo Ventures, US Venture Partners, Founder Collective, and First Round Capital.
