Women in the Business Arena™ EP 68: How Do We Talk About Ourselves in Business?
In this week's episode, Sonya and Laura discuss the importance of building confidence in speaking about self within the context of business. Too often, women struggle to speak about themselves, without feeling that they are being arrogant or cocky. This becomes a huge issue in the way of success. If you can't clearly articulate your value, it is hard to create financial success in your business. Some of the struggle has been built into our culture through years of suppression. We were conditioned to "sit quiet and look pretty". Business has always been a masculine dominated field and women still struggle to have a voice in it. Sonya and Laura talk about how important it is for women to speak up and learn to talk about themselves with confidence. Business is one of the greatest paths to finding our voice and owning our authority.
Sonya and Laura explore the pain that many women feel as they recognize the ways that their voice has been suppressed. We may feel a sense of anger and this feeling is ok! It is important to process this pain, in our pursuit of wellness, in order for us to find success in life and in business. This is the path to owning who we are and what we have to bring to the world. It is a rite of passage for learning to talk about ourselves authentically.
Many times, our story influences our desire to build our business. However, our story cannot be the foundation of our business. Our story adds flavor, but the foundation of the business must be the desire to address the need of the consumer.
As we focus on developing our wisdom and authority, the internal validation we experience will give a sense of power. We don't have to put our authority out there for someone else to validate. Seeking external validation will lead to a sense of incongruence with self. Being true to self will foster confidence, authority, and give us a voice in our business.

Launching Movers and Shakers
by Danielle Figueira
Beginning a New Journey
After months of trying to best educate their daughter, Julia '23, in their home district in Illinois, the Bottarelli family learned about Landmark School from their pediatrician, a friend of longtime Landmark Trustee, Martin Slark P'01. The journey to Landmark involved extensive testing, tears, and emotional family decisions. Throughout that process, Bryan and Katherine Bottarelli realized that their younger daughter, Paige '26, would also benefit from Landmark's approach. Thus began the maiden voyage to Manchester-by-the Sea, Mass., where the family eventually docked.
Taking this leap of faith can be stressful, and assimilating to a new area presents challenges, both large and small: uprooting your family, buying a house, selecting new doctors, signing kids up for summer camp, navigating roadways filled with aggressive Massachusetts drivers, and even adjusting to Red Sox and Patriots fever!
Helping Others Navigate
Many months ago, I met with Bryan and Katherine at a local coffee shop where we brainstormed ways that parents who have made this enormous transition could connect socially—and discuss shared experiences. The idea of an informal cocktail party to bring these folks together was born. The title took a few variations. After some time, "Movers and Shakers" felt right.
Bryan and Katherine agreed to host the gathering at their home in February 2019, and a common refrain echoed throughout the party: "Why didn't we think of this sooner?!" Twenty-five parents representing both campuses attended. The group was comprised of people who moved across the country or across the state, those who live part time on the North Shore, and locals who simply wanted to meet and welcome other parents.
Drawing on the characteristics of a Landmark education, which follows a diagnostic–prescriptive, and personalized approach, Katherine said, "We studied what was originally an overwhelming challenge, broke it apart, and found an opportunity. A simple coffee shop chat led to the first-ever "Movers and Shakers" gathering—and many new meaningful Landmark friendships."
A special thank you to our gracious hosts, the Bottarelli family!
Going forward, we will continue to offer similar "Movers and Shakers" events. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have interest in attending, you'd like to host an event, or have an idea for a future event! Contact Danielle at Dfigueira@landmarkschool.org.

The word doping is probably derived from the Dutch word "dop", the name of an alcoholic beverage made of grape skins used by Zulu warriors in order to enhance their prowess in battle. The term became current around the turn of the 20th century, originally referring to illegal drugging of racehorses. The practice of enhancing performance through foreign substances or other artificial means, however, is as old as competitive sport itself.
Doping is the word used in sport when athletes use prohibited substances or methods to unfairly improve their sporting performance.
Athletes information
Doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs):
Presence of a prohibited substance in an athlete's sample
Use or attempted use of a prohibited substance or method
Refusing to submit to sample collection after being notified
Failure to file athlete whereabouts information and missed tests
Tampering with any part of the doping control process
Possession of a prohibited substance or method
Trafficking a prohibited substance or method
Administering or attempting to administer a prohibited substance or method to an athlete
Complicity in an ADRV
Prohibited association with athlete support personnel who has engaged in doping
WHY IS DOPING IN SPORT PROHIBITED?
The use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance performance is fundamentally wrong and is detrimental to the overall spirit of sport. Drug misuse can be harmful to an athlete's health and to other athletes competing in the sport. It severely damages the integrity, image and value of sport, whether or not the motivation to use drugs is to improve performance. To achieve integrity and fairness in sport, a commitment to clean sport is critical.

About Anti-Doping
The practice of doping in sport – the use of substances and artificial ways of enhancing performance – is possibly as old as organised sport itself. Even in Ancient Greece, athletes used special diets and stimulants to build strength, but it was not until the 1920s that it became clear that restrictions were needed on drug use in sport.
The first International Sport Federation to ban the use of stimulating substances was the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1928, paving the way for many other sports to follow in their footsteps. However, no testing was carried out at this time.
It was not until the death of Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen as he took part in the Olympic Games in Rome in 1960, where the autopsy revealed traces of amphetamine, that pressure mounted for sports authorities to introduce drug testing.
Six years later, in 1966, the cycling and football federations (UCI and FIFA) introduced drug tests during their World Championships, pre-empting the first Olympic testing at the Grenoble Winter Games and the Olympics in Mexico, in 1968.
As for Gymnastics, the first in-competition doping controls were performed in 2004 by FIG and UEG, and out-of-competition testing started in 2005 by WADA.
WHAT IS WADA & WHAT IS ITS ROLE?
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was established in 1999 as an independent international agency and is composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. Its key activities include in particular scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, investigations and monitoring of the World Anti-Doping Code and its application by Code signatories (International Federations, National Anti-Doping Organisations, Major Event Organisations, etc.).
For more information about WADA, consult:
WADA website
What is WADA? video
WADA possesses 5 Standing Committees that play a key advisory role in policy and priority development for the Agency and are crucial to advancing the Agency's mission for doping-free sport.
You can find more information on the creation of the groups and on their explanation clicking here: 2021 standing committees and membership of Standing Committees for 2020.
Athletes' rights include (but are not limited to):
during the doping control:
bringing a representative and, if available, an interpreter;
asking for additional information about the sample collection process;
requesting a delay in reporting to the doping control station for valid reasons (International Standard for Testing and Investigations Art. 5.4.4); and
requesting modifications for athletes with impairments (if applicable).
requesting and attending the B sample analysis (in the case of an Adverse Analytical Finding);
in the case of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) being asserted, the athlete has the right to a fair hearing and the right to appeal the hearing decision.
Feel free to download the Athlete's Anti-doping Rights Act.
WHAT DO ATHLETES & ATHLETE SUPPORT PERSONEL NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ANTI-DOPING
"Every athlete has the right to clean sport!"
Any athlete may be tested in- and out-of-competition, anytime, anywhere and with no advance notice.
The principle of strict liability applies in anti-doping – if it is in the athlete's body, the athlete is responsible for it.
Athletes' responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
complying with the World Anti-Doping Code;
being available for sample collection (urine or blood), whether in-competition or out- of-competition;
ensuring that no prohibited substance enters his body and that no prohibited method is used;
making sure that any treatment is not prohibited according to the Prohibited List in force and checking this with the prescribing physicians, or directly with the IF if necessary;
applying to the IF (or national anti-doping organisation if the athlete is a national level athlete ) if no alternative permitted treatment is possible and a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is required;
reporting immediately for sample collection after being notified of a doping control;
ensuring the accuracy of the information entered on the doping control form during sample collection (including stating any medications and supplements taken within the seven days prior to sample collection, and where the sample collected is a blood sample, blood transfusions within the previous three months);
cooperating with anti-doping organisations investigating anti-doping rules violations (ADRVs); and
not working with coaches, trainers, physicians or other athlete support personnel who are ineligible on account of an ADRV or who have been criminally convicted or professionally disciplined in relation to doping (see WADA's Prohibited Association List)
Note: during doping control, the athlete must remain within direct observation of the Doping Control Officer (DCO) or chaperone at all times from when the initial contact is made until the completion of the sample collection procedure. The athlete must also produce identification upon request.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL ANTI-DOPING ORGANIZATIONS (NADOS)?
NADOs are organizations designated by each country as possessing the primary authority and responsibility to adopt and implement national anti-doping rules, carry out anti-doping education, plan tests and adjudicate anti-doping rule violations at a national level. They may also test athletes from other countries competing within that nation's borders.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published a Guide for the Operational Independence of National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) that will support them in strengthening and reinforcing their operational independence as required by the revised World Anti-Doping Code (Code).
Check the List of NADOs to find out who to contact in your country.
If a NADO has not been designated in a country, the National Olympic Committee (NOC), if there is no NADO, takes over these responsibilities. In a number of regions of the world, countries have pooled their resources together to create a Regional Anti-Doping Organization (RADO) responsible for conducting anti-doping activities in the region in support of NADOs.
Check the List of RADOs.
RADOs bring together geographically-clustered groups of countries where there are limited or no anti-doping activities. The RADOs provide anti-doping education for athletes, coaches and support personnel, testing of athletes, training of local personnel to undertake this task and an administrative framework to operate within.
La WBSC est l'unique organisation reconnue par le Comité International Olympique pour gérer le baseball et le softball dans le monde.

Washington, DC - Early data suggests that the current 2014-2015 flu season could be severe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urges immediate vaccination for anyone still unvaccinated this season and recommends prompt treatment with antiviral drugs for people at high risk of complications who develop flu.
Washington, DC - Today, President Obama, Vice President Biden, and the First Lady will join college presidents and other education leaders from around the nation at the second White House College Opportunity Day of Action, where organizations will announce over 600 new actions to help more students prepare for and graduate from college.

Washington, DC - "No need to be fat. No need to diet or go through unpleasant exercise."..."Your thin friends can tell you the right way to fight fat."..."Men avoided me. I was too fat."

Buy-to-letNews
Keystone Property Finance cuts rates
Mortgage Introducer
Keystone Property Finance has cut its rates on its standard two and 5-year fixed rate products (available across its core, larger loan and green ranges) by 0.2%, with rates now starting at 2.89% and 2.99%, respectively.
Keystone's green range remains 0.1% cheaper than its core products, with rates starting at 2.79%.
The buy-to-let lender has also reduced all of its specialist 2-year products by 0.2% and its specialist 5-year products by 0.15%, which now start at 3.04% and 3.24%, respectively. The specialist products are also available across its core, large loan and green ranges.
Rental yields down 0.6% yearly in 2021
As part of its range overhaul, Keystone has also opened up its larger loan cashback offer to landlords borrowing less.
Landlords borrowing £150,000 or more will qualify for the offering, down from £200,000 before. As part of the offering, landlords borrowing between £150,000-£500,000 receive £750 cashback while those borrowing £500,001-£1m receive £1,000.
The specialist lender has also made some new improvements to its online portal, MyKeystone, following broker feedback. These include a faster upload time for documents as well as a new functionality to allow multiple documents to be uploaded at one time.
Elise Coole, managing director of Keystone Property Finance, said: "We are constantly trying to ensure our range is not only competitive but also that we provide products that satisfy the needs of the market.
"A major part of that involves keeping in close contact with our broker partners to ensure we stay ahead of the game and are in tune with what landlords need and want.
"We have proven that this year by continuing to make product enhancements as well as system improvements to make our application process more efficient.
"These reductions will ensure we remain competitive in the specialist space, while lowering our cashback threshold means we can give a little something back to an even greater number of landlords."

Q: How to link specific array item to a field in a form? I have a form with a field titled 'Desserts'. The desserts are in an array:
data: () => ({
    newDesserts: [
        {id: 6, name: 'Coca Cola',
        {id: 1, name: 'Apple'},
        {id: 17, name: 'Cake',
    ],
}),

The form field looks like this:
v-text-field
    outlined
></v-text-field>

How can I link the array item with id 17 to this form field? I've tried using
v-text-field
    outlined
    v-model="newDessert[17].data"
></v-text-field>

Where 'data' represents the column I want to add it to in the DB. However, it hasn't worked so far.

A: You need the index of the array to access it.
You can search for an index with findIndex.
<v-text-field outlined v-model="newDessert[newDessert.findIndex(obj => obj.id === 17)].name"/>

A: I assume you want all the desserts listed, rather than hardcoding array indexes into your template. If this is the case, your code would become:
<v-text-field
  outlined
  v-for="(item, index) in newDesserts"
  :key="index"
  v-model="item.name"
></v-text-field>

What a pleasant surprise this beautiful hotel was. Derek on reception when we arrived was very friendly and informative and we were able to get into our room before check in time. The hotel is very old and has many interesting nooks and crannies and the stained glass throughout is magnificent. The hotel offers a couple of different eating places as well as morning and afternoon teas but there are also several restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance if you prefer. Subway sandwich shop is next door and we enjoyed sitting in the hotel gardens whilst eating our lunch. The hotel is very centrally located and there are local bus stops right out the front and the hop on hop off bus commences its journey across the road. A Coles supermarket and liquor store is very close by. We only stayed 3 days but would have liked longer.
It's unfortunate we didn't have the breakfast because we had to go to airport early. But I wish the hotel could do something special for us or some gift to make up for our missed breakfast. It's a vintage style hotel. I like it. But could be better!
Very close to transport and local attractions. Spacious room for 3 ppl and staff were able to provide 3 single beds which we were grateful for. Breakfast had plenty of pastry and cereal options. One of my friends had to leave just before breakfast started but staff allowed her to take some food on the go which we appreciated!!
Beautiful old world charm, full of atmosphere and history. It's was like stepping back in time . Would love to see it in winter , covered in snow . Even my 15 year old daughter loved it . We'll be back soon .
This is not the first time I visit Carrington because sometimes we have family gathering in Carrington but I never stay there. This time I stay here to celebrate my wife birthday. We stayed in Traditional room no 41 with share bathroom. The room is good, clean, well maintained. There is a tv, mini fridge, electric kettle and a tray of coffee,tea and sugar. No view from our room. We have to pay $10 for wifi but it's worth with very good signal. I like the bathroom area. It has separate shower room and some old style bathroom. All clean and good. The price is good, include great buffet breakfast. The staff is friendly and professional. And the location is perfect! Just walk up and you can find lots of nice cafe and restaurant. One night is not enough to stay in Carrington!
Location of the hotel, Big rooms with big beds.
i have enjoyed a splendid 3 nights stay at park royal. the key factor in deciding the hotel is in its location. it is being situated in the middle from chinatown, the rocks and prymont bay. great convenience! rooms are big and the hotel is fully equipped with daily neccessities.
The hotel staff were not helpful - indignant — the restaurant staff where great - the food was atrocious. Upon arrival from Sydney at 7 pm, I could not find a parking space for my car. The reception staff told me to park my car in the street because the guest parking was being used for an event. I was told there might be a spot in the carpark after 10 pm!! So go out into the street after 10 pm, get your car, and maybe there will be a park when you return. If not just go back to the street and park. The meal in the dining room was a return to the 1970s. Not a tasty veal cordon bleu - but a suburban Wednesday night family meal of meat and three veg. And as mentioned below no aircon - had to use my serviette to keep wiping the sweat from my brow. The piano was too loud, the songs boring and dated - not Billy Joel dated - bad lounge singer dated. The temp was 42 degrees celsius - no aircon — old useless fan from Target in my room. I opened my window hoping for a breeze - had to close it because of the noise from the hotel's refrigeration unit (irony).
Our stay was lovely. Room was beautiful, loved the atmosphere down stairs, staff were lovely and helpful. Location is perfect, close to shops, all the things you want to see at the Blue Mountains. Highly recommended.
From arrival to checkout everything was perfect. The staff were friendly and very professional at the same time. This was our first stay at the Carrington Hotel however we felt like we had been regular guests as we were welcomed so warmly and the most important aspect was the genuine care and interest in us as individuals rather than being treated like a number. The Continental breakfast in the Grand Dining Room was superb and a very relaxed way to start the day. Once again fantastic service from the lovely staff. Overall very relaxing and I would loved to have stayed longer however we do plan to return soon.
Lovely hotel, full of character and lots of space to relax. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sorry to leave.
Christmas lunch was very well done.
Just five minutes walk from train station and bus stop is just outside the hotel to scenic world , very convenient. located in main street with lots of restaurants. rooms are nice and clean.
Always wonderful staying at Carrington such history friendly staff especially lady that served breakfast. Sad that the restaurant wasn''t open on the days we were there. The only thing on our next visit could you organise better weather.
The hotel is conveniently situated across from the train station, bus station is behind the hotel and is surrounded by restaurants and shops. We were surprised that the bathroom is shared, was reluctant to check in after hearing, but went ahead with it. Fortunately, the rest rooms were clean and I saw only one other person in the shared bathroom area. The staff were courteous, and professional, the breakfast was good.
Very lovely place. Just one suggestion is to have a bathrobe in the rooms that use the shared bathrooms. I have already recommended this as a great place to stay! Love the historical stories that are displayed and the genuine friendliness of the staff. Thank you very much.
My wife and I stayed at the Carrington to attend my wife's parents 55th wedding aniversary. We were upgraded upon arrival to a suite which was beautiful. Dinner in the dining room was exquisite and the service was beyond anything I have had in a restaurant before. A fantastic experience I was not really expecting. The hotel is like a (very well) working museum and the staff were brilliant. 10/10.
Nothing much more to say. It was all good. Perhaps a slight improvement would be signs in the Ladies toilets, in a few languages, to say not to use the bins for toilet paper,but to flush down the toilet. Was the only negative we found.

John Kerr and Kimberly Chung, faculty members in the Department of Community Sustainability, have given a $375,000 gift to create a teaching assistantship named in honor of John's parents, Malcolm and Ann Kerr.
As the premier land-grant institution, MSU is rooted in the principles of teaching, research and outreach. This work extends across the globe, confronting challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, environmental sustainability and beyond.
Although never affiliated with MSU, Malcolm and Ann Kerr shared the same passion for education and international development. Ann still does, while Malcolm's devotion lives on posthumously through his family.
One of the couple's four children, John, is a professor and associate chair in the MSU Department of Community Sustainability (CSUS). He has committed his career to teaching and research that enhances the agriculture and natural resources sectors in developing countries.
John, along with his wife—Kimberly Chung, an associate professor in CSUS—is honoring his parents through a $375,000 gift, that establishes the Malcolm and Ann Kerr Award for Excellence in Scholarship.
Each year, the award will provide a Ph.D. student in CSUS with a one-semester teaching assistantship that supports tuition, fees, health insurance and a stipend.
"I've always been interested in making a gift like this," John said. "We accomplish two goals, in that we honor the work my parents have done, and we continue the cycle forward by offering opportunities for current students to teach. Hopefully, that can act as a springboard for their careers."
Students can apply for the award during the fall for consideration the following academic year. The first award will be presented this year for use in 2018-2019. A committee of CSUS faculty (excluding Kerr or Chung) will select from a pool of applicants who have demonstrated scholarly excellence and a desire to pursue a career in academia.
The awardee will either teach a course or act as a teaching assistant, depending on his or her experience and the needs of the department.
Due to allocation of teaching resources, Ph.D. students in CSUS and several other departments have few opportunities to teach. Most students are funded through external research grants, but such funds rarely support teaching.
"Some of our Ph.D. students are interested in becoming faculty members at institutions of higher education upon graduation, so they need teaching experience," Chung said. "That makes them a well-rounded candidate. Because of funding challenges, we haven't really had that in the past. This gift is closing some of those gaps."
While never expecting to make a gift of this magnitude, he and Chung are grateful to be in the position to do so and are planning an additional gift in the future.
Promoting cross-cultural understanding
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, to American parents who taught at the American University of Beirut (AUB) for 40 years, Malcolm Kerr was exposed early in life to the complex nature of the Middle East.
His parents met in Turkey while rescuing Armenians targeted by the Ottoman Empire during and after World War I. They soon moved to Beirut and began tenures at AUB.
Malcolm and Ann Kerr had met in Beirut while he was pursuing a master's degree from AUB and she was studying abroad. Much like John's grandparents, Malcolm and Ann made increasing cultural understanding and peace their mission.
After Malcolm Kerr earned his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University, the family settled in Beirut for a short time. Three of the couple's four children, including John, were born at the AUB hospital.
Malcolm Kerr's expertise in Middle Eastern studies later brought him to the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where he worked for 20 years. He spent time at the American University in Cairo as well, but his dream job was to become AUB president. That opportunity arose in 1982.
Lebanon was relatively peaceful at the time he was hired, but war soon returned. Anti-American sentiment flared after U.S. military intervention in the country, and Malcolm Kerr became a high-profile target. He was assassinated in 1984 near his office on AUB's campus.
Since Malcolm's death, Ann Kerr has carried on their legacy through a number of initiatives that keep their ideals moving forward. She lives in California, serves as coordinator of the Visiting Fulbright Scholar Enrichment Program at UCLA, and teaches a class on cross-cultural understanding to undergraduates.
She continues to be involved with AUB, now as an emeritus member of the board of trustees.
"My parents would have fit in very well at MSU," John said. "When I first came here in 1999, I was really excited about the combination of the land-grant mission and the international focus. I have had international ties since I was a kid, and that's thanks to my parents.
"A strong emphasis for them was teaching and research as a way to expand minds and solve problems that are important to real people. This gift prepares others to carry on the work that was so important to them, and I know they would appreciate that."

To create tables for your site, you will use the TablePress plugin. You can create both simple and advanced tables, as well as import and export tables.
In the Add New Table screen, input the table name, description, and number of rows and columns. Click on "Add Table." You will be able to add or delete rows and columns later if necessary.
Although optional, for simple tables – where the table name is not displayed – it may be useful to put a description such as a number indicating which table it is and a URL of what page it is on to help you identify it in the list of tables for your site.
As you create the table, it is a good idea to frequently go to click on the "Save Changes" button at the top or bottom of the page to save your work. Make certain you save it one last time before leaving the page.
After adding the table, scroll down to see "Table Content." You will need to enter content into each cell of the table. The columns are labeled with uppercase letters in alphabetical order (A = column 1, B = column 2, C = column 3, …). The rows are labeled numerically. A "cell" is just a combination of row and column, for example, A3 or C2.
This is where you can add or delete rows and columns. When you choose "Insert" for rows, one row will be added at the bottom of the table. To add multiple rows, use the "Add" feature and select the number of rows needed. When you choose "Insert" for columns, a column will be added after the farthest right column. Again, you can use the "Add" feature to add multiple columns at once. To change the order of rows or columns, check the box for a row or column and then drag-and-drop it to a new location.
The combine cells options allow you to set rowspan and colspan — this groups cells from a column together or row together.
To combine cells within the same column, you would use rowspan. Click on the Combine cells: in a column (rowspan) button. A dialogue box will pop up explaining that "To combine cells within a column, click into the cell below the cell that has the content the combined cells shall have." Click "Ok" to continue and click on the cell to which you want to apply the formatting. The example below uses cells A3 through A5.
This section allows you to designate your table header row which enhances accessibility and enables header styling for the row as well. Other options include the ability to have different colors for alternating rows and custom css.
To insert your table into a page or post, go to the page/post that you would like to edit and click on the spot where you want the table to appear. Now go to the icon set above your text box and find and click on the TablePress button (highlighted with a red box in the image below).
A new window will pop up with a list of your tables. Find the table(s) you wish to insert (you can search for them with the search field) and click on the "Insert Shortcode" button.

Here comes December! Gift list? Check. Decorations? Check. Calendar? Marked!
We're just one week away from one of Sedona's favorite traditions – the Tree Lighting and Santa visit. Coinciding with the 1st Friday in the Galleries, it is guaranteed to be a spectacular night out for everyone. The very next night is another holiday favorite, the Festival of Lights kickoff at Tlaquepaque.
The four-evenings, Sedona Northern Lights show is up next, beginning December 13. This fantastic display of projected 3D holiday-themed art on Camelhead Rock is an event unique to Sedona, and I am pleased to announce a special guest this year. Santa reports he will be at the Visitor Center each evening during Northern Lights, located at 331 Forest Road! He will be giving away cookies, gifts, and hot chocolate and cider too!
December is an excellent time to help local schools and nonprofits while slashing your state income tax bill. Married couples filing jointly can contribute up to $800 to nonprofits and $400 to schools. For singles, the amount is $400 to nonprofits and $200 to schools. The contributions are a tax credit, meaning the amount is subtracted from your state income tax bill. You don't have to contribute the maximum amount to qualify for the tax credit, and you can select more than one recipient.
Wondering about impact? The Sedona-Oak Creek District says if everyone who voted 'yes' on the recent budget override contributed the maximum, the total would come to $750,000, just $80,000 less than the override amount.
You have until April 15 to file and contribute, but since many people review tax decisions in December, we thought you'd like a timely reminder.
December also brings unique local events. Santa puts in his first Sedona appearance at 'Breakfast with Santa' tomorrow morning from 8–10am at the Hub at Posse Grounds Park. Enjoy a free hot breakfast courtesy of Sedona Parks and Rec while getting some Santa face time and the chance to pet a pony reindeer.
Music instructor Jeanie Carroll has been preparing her youth singers at the Holiday Vocal Performance Program since mid-November. Students from Verde Valley schools ranging from 3rd to 8th grade will offer three public performances before Christmas. Visit ParangelloPlayers.com for information.
Toys for Tots is once again helping needy local families in December, with the Sedona Fire District and the Sedona chapter of the Marine Corps Reserves running the show. Help them help others by dropping an unwrapped gift at any Toys for Tots box or at Fire Stations 1, 3, 4, 5, or 6 or at the Chamber's Administrative Office located at 45 Sunset Drive.
Thank you, Sedona Fire District!
The tragic fires in California continue to reverberate. Six SFD firefighters and a pair of accompanying wildland fire engines have helped stamp out the horrific Woolsey fire, saving property and lives. We want to salute their courage and sense of duty to others. Thank you, first responders!
This unprecedented disaster personally touches many Sedonans. Some are from the fire-stricken areas. Many have friends and family who are suffering. Please let them know that you are thinking of them. The best way to help those in immediate need is to contribute to the American Red Cross at RedCross.org.
The fires are also a sobering reminder to us in Red Rock Country to be on guard. SFD recommends a 30-foot cleared area around our homes and businesses. Let's be fire smart at home and work, and extra careful in our beautiful wild areas.
Next week: As freezing weather settles in for an extended stay around the country, we will update you on how we draw visitors to Sedona during the winter months.

Metro Toronto Convention Centre Tests Weapon-Detecting AI
By Sofia Wright October 1, 2019
At any event or meeting, safety should be a high priority. And with the current state of the world, there are new advancements created and implemented everyday with the intent to foster safe environments for all people. HEXWAVE, a system that uses radiation-free 3D radar imaging, which is coupled with artificial intelligence software, is one of those advancements.
The Toronto Convention Centre will be the first to test out this system. The convention center is an ideal place to start because it is one of the largest Canadian convention centers. Also, it is a desirable site for testing perimeter effectiveness of indoor and outdoor areas, as the facility connects to the 586-room InterContinental Toronto Centre hotel, the SkyWalk, Union Station rail terminal, and the city's underground PATH transit system.
Bill Riker, CEO of Liberty Defense said, "We believe that HEXWAVE's ability to operate in both indoor and outdoor environments, in combination with its modular and scalable design, will help reinforce infrastructure safety while maintaining a positive customer experience." Liberty Defense also came out with a statement which said, "HEXWAVE can provide early warning of threats to security staff before the threat is carried out," and "It detects metallic and non-metallic threat objects such as: guns, assault rifles, knives and explosives, and can be used both indoor and outdoor."
Riker's firm developed the product using 3D radar technology developed by MIT, plus rapidly advancing "machine-learning," or artificial intelligence software that can find anomalies in image patterns based on the vast amounts of real-time data it receives.
Related: Advice from Emergency Management Experts
Liberty Defense is also planning several other beta tests of HEXWAVE in the next few months, including at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena in Germany, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada and at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland. The company is also targeting several other markets, including other public venues such as shopping malls and town squares, secured office buildings, transportation hubs, and institutions such as schools and hospitals.

Q: issue with sorting and addition i'm beginner in haskell. i wrote code in haskell to read a text file and print 2nd and 4th column but i dont know where to put sorting mechnism and 2nd column consists of digits so if digits are repeating then its values should be added and show the total for ex.
2|23.45
4|36.89
1|77.20
2|20.20
so output should be
1|77.20
2|43.65
4|36.89
my code is:
module Main where

import Data.List.Split(splitOn)
import Data.List (intercalate)

project :: [Int] -> [String] -> [String]
project indices l = foldl (\acc i -> acc ++ [l !! i]) [] indices

fromString :: String -> [[String]]
fromString = map (splitOn "|") . lines

toString :: [[String]] -> String
toString = unlines . map (intercalate "|")

main :: IO ()
main = do
putStrLn =<<
  return . toString . map (project [1, 3]) . fromString =<<
  readFile("table.txt")

help me. Thanks

A: You should sort after map:
main :: IO ()
main = do
  putStrLn =<<
  return . toString . sort . map (project [1, 3]) . fromString =<<
  readFile("table.txt")

By the way, return and =<< can be simplified as follows:
main :: IO ()
main =
  putStrLn . toString . sort . map (project [1, 3]) . fromString =<<
  readFile "table.txt"

This has still a couple of issues:

*

*it sorts the ID as strings, not the numbers (e.g. 11 comes before 4)

*it does not add the items with identical IDs

My suggestion would be:

*

*convert the data into [(Int,Double)] first (have a look at read or -- if you want to sensibly handle malformed data -- reads).

*sort the list.

*apply a custom function to sum up the same-ID entries. This is a nice list-handling exercise for a beginner. Just fill the blanks below. Remember you can use recursion.
sumSameId :: [(Int,Double)] -> [(Int,Double)]
sumSameId [] = ???
sumSameId [(i,d)] = ???
sumSameId ((i1,d1):(i2,d2):rest) = if i1==i2 then ??? else ???

I have just realized that your code is not actually yours, but was taken verbatim from an answer to a question of yours. Honestly, it looks as you copied that code without making any effort to understand it, and are now trying to make it work using stackoverflow as a coding service. Of course, this may not be the case, yet it looks at it is. Just keep in mind that we usually are more keen to help people who show some effort.

How are millennials shaping businesses in India? I asked of Swanand Kelkar that question a few days ago at his office in Mumbai. He is managing director at Morgan Stanley Investment Management and is passionate about trend-spotting. To do that, Kelkar spends much time talking with entrepreneurs across multiple domains. Engaging with him offered multiple pointers to what may be on the minds of young Indians.
By way of example, a prominent retailer told Kelkar that those in the apparel business are witnessing declining sales on what people wear below the waist. When he probed further, an interesting narrative emerged.
Data shows that people who buy trendy upper wear are inevitably young, carry a smartphone, click selfies and post them right away on social media such as Instagram and Snapchat. What the retailer is a witness to is a race among buyers to be the first to show off who is the trendiest. This means a few things.
The selfies are usually of the upper body. In the race to look trendier than everyone else, snazzier clothes are one way to stay in circulation. It is inevitable then that they seek apparel that will make them look good. It also means they are willing to spend more on clothes.
That the millennials' appetite for apparel is high is something that Dipayan Baishya, part of the senior team at the retail chain Future Group and co-author of It Happened in India, is willing to buy. What else, he asks, explains the emergence of loans from entities such as Bajaj Finserv to finance such purchases?
Data has it that the young walk into stores to finance purchases of two or three pieces of clothing that may cumulatively cost Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 and pay for it in instalments. Baishya too, like Kelkar, puts it to the emergence of the selfie culture. This trend is one that the Future Group has seen gaining momentum over the last three-odd years, he says.
Kelkar's assertion stands to further scrutiny if some more data points are examined. Levis Strauss is a brand name synonymous with jeans the world over. By the late 1990s though, sales of jeans started to fall. All attempts at resuscitation it faltered. But it was only last year, on the back of a strategy crafted to get people to buy new tops that Levis posted a 14% growth, the best over 20 years.
Between the fetish to buy snazzy tops and declining sales of what is worn below the torso, Kelkar is willing to bet it is only a matter of time before the sacrosanct white shirt and all things formal will be given a quiet burial. If any evidence be needed, he suggests that the venerable Goldman Sachs be used as a proxy index. When the office of the hallowed investment bank relaxed its dress code, it was construed as a smoke signal by silk tie maker Hermes International and suit manufacturer Hugo Boss. The CEO of Hermes announced a new line of scarves and that of Hugo Boss announced a branching out of its portfolio.
When pushed for a perspective on how might this play out, Baishya is circumspect. "What is clear is that the idea of treating the body as a temple has taken root. But can you write the white shirt off? I am not sure about it yet in the longer run," he says. He has his reasons.
As for the smoke signal around the Goldman Sachs proxy index, Baishya has a second submission to make. Unlike in the past when finance professionals dominated the workforce at Goldman Sachs, almost 30% of the current workforce comprises engineers. Their numbers are growing. The way engineers think, work and dress is different. Goldman Sachs has been compelled to adapt. The white shirt then will survive elsewhere.
This is not something Kelkar seems convinced about. Baishya too sounds ambiguous about it, and the executive from Reliance Brand disses it as preposterous right away.
But what all of them concur on is one thing: the white shirt may morph to keep pace with the aspirations of a generation obsessed with selfies. And new business models will emerge.
To put that into perspective, Kelkar asked me how often do I visit the barber (a hair stylist in contemporary settings).
"Once a month," I replied, and wondered what he was trying to drive at.
"That was in the India you and I were raised in," he responded. Kelkar got intrigued when his barber suggested he must get a trim every fortnight.
The line stayed with Kelkar and he looked around if business models are evolving around this advice. Turns out, there are. And these business models are catering to the aspirations of India. One among them is Jawed Habib, a so-called celebrity hair stylist. Multiple versions exist in the public domain of how he is the port-of-call for all celebrities for their grooming requirements.
Kelkar's submission for Jawed Habib's popularity is that millennials exist not just in Tier I India that has access to the best that the world has to offer, but also in Tier II and Tier III India that aspires for brand names. Jawed Habib has focused on building a brand name in middle India because young people here are no different from those in urban India and are very much into shooting snazzy selfies. If a Jawed Habib-certified salon can help them look good, they'll pay to visit the place.
As for the entity that Jawed Habib runs, all numbers in the public domain around it and the business model now sound dubious. Calls placed to the hair stylist's head-quarters in Mumbai to seek answers were rudely fobbed off.
Perhaps, he was busy shaving the hair off 1.25 billion heads.
