Lucille Mazzucco, age 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning August 7, 2022

Lucille grew up in Astoria NY attending Julia Richmond all girls High School graduating
in 1961. After graduating high school she volunteered for Astoria Volunteer Ambulance
Corps in Queens, NY. Lucille became a mother to her only child Barbara Ann in 1966.
In 1976 Lucille and her daughter moved to New Jersey and settled in Raritan Borough.
Lucille married the late Theodore "Ted" Mazzucco on December 9, 1979. Lucille would
reside in Raritan until moving to Hillsborough, NJ in 2006. Lucille worked for many
years as a secretary for AT&T. She was an avid New York Yankee fan and loved to
watch the games on TV. Lucille enjoyed bowling, playing softball, crocheting and
playing pinochle with friends. She especially loved to play bingo and took it seriously
even if the prize was only for a piece of candy. One of Lucille's favorite past times was
scratching lottery tickets. She would often ask her family when they went out to pick her
up some scratch offs. She enjoyed traveling with family and friends and took numerous
vacations with her grandchildren.
Lucille always asked her family how she could be a stronger person. She was a strong
person. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease over 20 years ago. Even though
the disease broke her down she did not let it defeat her. She got up everyday and did
her exercises to make her body move and fought it galently till the end. Verbally she
would ask how she could be stronger but her actions of fighting such a debilitating
disease showed how strong she really was. Lucille was described by friends and family who knew her as a stubborn woman with a heart of gold. She was never hesitant
to say what was on her mind. In September of 2018 Lucille moved into All American
Assisted Living in Hillsborough, NJ. During her time at her new residence she made
numerous friends and enjoyed the daily activities that were available for her. Even as
she struggled with her Parkinson's issues she continued to enjoy playing bingo, bowling,
glee club, socials and other events at the Assisted Living. She was very thankful for the
special people of All American who worked to make her life as easy and enjoyable as it
could be. Her family also thanks these individuals who really cared and loved Lucille.
Lucille was a generous, caring and loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and
friend to many. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Lucille is survived by her daughter Barbara Ann Ciesla (Mark) the joys of her life, her
grandchildren Katrina Troxell (Casey) and Sean Ciesla, and her great granddaughter
Willow Rae Troxell. As well as three bonus children, Jeffrey Mazzucco (Treasa), William

Few novels could possess the interest of this splendid biography of one of the greatest artists the world has khown. Although again and again the story of Leonardo'sife has been written, never has so full and complete a history of it from the standpointof both artist and man been published. It is so easy in considering Leonardo, the artist, to forget Leonardo the man, or to wander away from history into thevague upper chambers of criticism and mere conjecture. Not once does the presnt author commit this error. He gives his wonderful subject sufficient historicalsetting, the reader falls readily into the spirit of the time in which this great intellectual giant lived, but never is lured away nor loses sight of the chief figure inthe great drama of life unrolled before him. Artistically there is so little data to buildpon a very few finished paintings, a really small number of drawings, somewritings, but that is all.
And yet with these the author of this volume has made the story complete and has given us suffi cient material with which to form our ownestimate. He says himself that he "has not attempted to explain or analyze everyhing," but on the contrary has "chosen rather to direct attention and interest toLeonardo's chief qualities as an artist." Included in the illustrations, which are numerous and excellent, are examples of the works of contemporary artists, suchworks as in any way bear relation to those by Leonardo himself.
It is a beautiful book, well printed, finely illustrated and written with that clearnessof style which characterizes the best works in literature, indicating clearness of thoughtand a thorough knowledge of the subject under consideration.


Drama. Drama. Drama. A week full of drama.
This week, Airbnb announced a new company policy that Jews would no longer be listed on their site if their locations were in Judea or Samaria (what the ignorant world calls the West Bank). Of course there are no other places in the world where Airbnb has taken such a stance. Its only the Jews. Shocking. arabs will continue to be listed, even sometimes in the same town as Jews - like in Hevron.
Clearly this is psychotically anti-Semitic. (if you disagree, google anti-Semitism) Jews all over the world are cancelling the app from their phones and the Israeli Government is examining different options to protest the move. Boycotting Israel is actually illegal is 24 States in the US, so that could be interesting as well.
Despite Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman's resignation and his removal of his party from the Coalition last week, the current Government continues with a razor thin majority of 61 seats (out of 120). The head of the Bayit Yehudi party, Naftali Bennett, had demanded the recently vacated position of Defense Minister and threatened to also quit the Government, along with his party, if he didn't get it. However, he later backed down from the threat and remained in the Government. What did he get for it? Hopefully alot! How long will this Government last is anyone's guess, but some real interesting stuff could happen in the meantime.
Aryeh Deri Going Back to Jail?
Fresh off a huge victory in the Jerusalem Mayoral and City Council races, Shas leader Aryeh Deri has been recommended by the Israeli police to be charged with numerous financial crimes. He has not been officially charged yet, but I've seen enough Law & Order's to confidently say that there's a pretty likely chance he will eventually be indicted. And then what will happen to Shas? Hard to say, but with national elections possibly imminent and definitely within the year, they best be ready for this scenario.
Despite how things looked just a short time ago, things remain relatively peaceful in both the south (Gaza/Hamas) and north (southern Lebanon/Hezbollah) of Israel. This quiet could be quite deceptive. Today at a diplomatic conference in Jerusalem many Israeli politicians ominously threatened Hamas leadership and even suggested the possibility of a full Israeli return to Gaza in the near future. I doubt they will take that well in Gaza.
This week there was a final court decision regarding a large property in the Shimon HaTzadik neighborhood, just north of the Old City of Jerusalem. There were 2 Jewish neighborhoods there before 1948, located around the grave of the famous Jewish sage, Shimon HaTzadik. In 1948 all the Jews were forced out of the neighborhoods and they were replaced by arab squatters. This happened in many places, but what's unique about this particular situation are two things: 1) The entire neighborhoods were Jewish and 2) About 20 years ago, Yassir Arafat personally intervened in the legal dispute and encouraged the arabs to stop paying rent to the Jewish owners and to do various other ill-advised things that destroyed any chance of them winning in court. This week, their legal fates were sealed. This decision was for one building, but there are numerous other properties in the same situation. This will dramatically strengthen the Jewish Presence in the "holy basin" around the Old City.
Luckily for Airbnb, over the course of the last 70 years, a few Jews have sold their properties to arabs, so looks like they can stay in the neighborhood after all. That's assuming they are still in business.

ArtStyle: How would you describe your art?
Susan Kraut (SK): I don't really like calling myself a "still life" painter because it suggests pictures of apples and wine bottles. My paintings for many years have been representational descriptions of small organic objects, usually on a window sill, always in some sort of natural light, sometimes with elements of the particular landscape beyond the window.

Dungeons è un videogioco strategico di simulazione sviluppato dalla Realmforge Studios, pubblicato da Kalypso Media, e messo in commercio il 27 gennaio 2011 in Germania e il 10 febbraio 2011 in Nord America.

Ha avuto due seguiti, Dungeons 2 e Dungeons 3, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 2015 e nel 2017.

Trama
Al disotto del mondo di superficie si estende l'Inframondo, un sistema di luoghi sotterranei e segrete. Un giorno, il consigliere del più potente Signore del Male (Dungeonlord nell'originale) si reca dal padrone con la cattiva notizia che la sua fidanzata Calypso intende usurpare il trono. Inizialmente il consigliere non viene creduto, ma poco dopo Calypso apre tutte le entrate della segreta, consentendo a numerosi eroi di sciamare all'interno e costringendo il Signore del Male a una precipitosa fuga. In seguito egli dovrà affrontare una serie di missioni per ricostruire da zero il proprio potere, prendendo il controllo dei tre livelli dell'Inframondo, progressivamente più pericolosi e difficili: le catacombe, i templi sotterranei e l'inferno. Nella sua scalata il Signore del Male viene ostacolato anche da altri Signori delle segrete, come il Re Zombi, a cui inizialmente deve obbedienza e per il quale svolge le prime missioni, ma che in seguito diventa un avversario da spodestare. L'obiettivo finale è la vendetta per il tradimento di Calypso e la riconquista del Trono di Cristallo quale supremo Signore del Male.

Modalità di gioco
In Dungeons il giocatore veste i panni di un Signore del Male ed è chiamato a progettare, espandere e gestire la sua segreta. A differenza di Dungeon Keeper, che secondo la critica rappresenta il modello seguito da Dungeons, in quest'ultimo l'attenzione è incentrata sugli eroi che entrano nella segreta e non sui mostri. Infatti gli eroi non sono soltanto dei nemici da cui difendersi, ma anche e soprattutto una fonte di "energia dello spirito", una risorsa-chiave del gioco. Quando un eroe soddisfa il proprio desiderio di avventura, sviluppa una correlativa quantità di energia dello spirito. Una volta che l'eroe viene sconfitto e trascinato in prigione, la sua energia dello spirito viene estratta. Esistono diverse necessità degli eroi, ad esempio ricchezza, equipaggiamento, conoscenza, combattimento contro i mostri o aiuto agli altri eroi. Per assicurarsi che gli eroi siano soddisfatti il Signore del Male dovrà quindi predisporre tesori, armerie, biblioteche, pentagrammi in grado di evocare mostri e altri marchingegni. A differenza di Dungeon Keeper, il giocatore dispone anche di un avatar sullo schermo, che può muoversi nella segreta per sconfiggere gli eroi e teletrasportare i loro corpi nelle prigioni affinché l'energia dello spirito venga estratta. Inoltre nella modalità campagna l'avatar del Signore del Male permette al giocatore di spostarsi sulla mappa per compiere varie missioni individuali, simili a quelle di un gioco di ruolo. Se l'avatar viene sconfitto, si rigenererà a spese dei punti salute del cuore della segreta.

Accoglienza
Nel complesso il gioco ha ricevuto dalla critica una valutazione modesta, con 65 punti su 100 secondo Metacritic. GameSpot lo stronca per la sua "modalità di gioco alienante, ripetitiva", PC Gamer invece lo considera "una divertente variazione sul tema" di Dungeon Keeper, di cui rievoca bene lo spirito portando al tempo stesso idee nuove.

5 Methods To Medicine With out Breaking Your Financial institution
In this occasion the experimental asthma vaccine couples the two IL molecules with a non-pathogenic toxin. 542), the researchers reviewed baseline survey data from the varsity-Based Asthma Care for Teens (SB-ACT) study, a randomized, controlled trial conducted from 2014 to 2018 in Rochester, N.Y. A trial in folks over 65, and over 50 with underlying health conditions, discovered that inhaling budesonide twice a day for two weeks shortened their restoration time and helped them stay nicely and really feel higher than those who were not given the drug in subsequent weeks. UFPs have been linked to different impacts including mind most cancers and researchers said that demonstrating these health impacts should spur higher measurement and motion from policymakers to scale back soiled air. As well as serving as a both a prophylactic vaccine for asthma and a therapeutic therapy, the researchers counsel this type of vaccine could possibly be efficient in opposition to many different allergic diseases underpinned by the identical inflammatory molecules. Such efforts will take additional effort and sources, but are an integral part of the vaccine rollout-which, thus far, haven't been the focus of the COVID-19 vaccine marketing campaign.
Just over a decade in the past, Wolfe was a part of his hospital's committee that decided learn how to distribute scarce H1N1 vaccines throughout that outbreak, and knows doctors and patients can make compelling arguments for almost every patient. And that may lead to misunderstanding and frustration, as individuals with the identical health situation, residing in the identical a part of the nation, may not be able to get their shots at the same time. It's unclear exactly why statins improved their situation, however the pills are believed to have some anti-inflammatory benefits. "Los Angeles county isn't using a risk stratification at their mega vaccination sites, and we are very candid in regards to the model we're using given the amount of doses we've got. Rouge brought the data to Szczepanek to see if his research group, including co-authors and graduate students Tyler Gavitt '21 Ph.D. Rouge adds that this technology has the potential to be customizable. Szczepanek explains the workforce envisions that, ultimately, the know-how could possibly be delivered to the patient via an inhaler, like present asthma medications are and, depending on precisely how it is formulated, that it might target energetic inflammation or act as a prophylactic measure.
The nanocaspules were then characterized and checked if they may cleave the nucleic acid goal cell lines in vitro and the outcomes had been promising. Future research, therefore, "ought to go into trying to hammer out the differences on the molecular degree between the patients, broadening this endotype idea, after which applying the biologics in direction of every endotype," he said. "We stratified the group of individuals aged 65-70, pulled up patients with sure diseases and then looked at folks aged 60-65, and worked via it like that" Patients with chronic conditions who aren't capable of get vaccinated if there aren't sufficient doses in a single spherical of vaccinations might be subsequent in line and notified when extra vaccines are shipped. Which faculty soccer transfers will make an influence in 2021? Monoclonal antibody therapies are notoriously costly, costing thousands of dollars per dose and need constant dosing to treat chronic disease.
On condition that there continues to be a restricted supply of doses, doctors and native health officials are bracing for gut-wrenching choices about which patients to vaccinate first, with a possible nightmare situation of cancer patients combating with coronary heart patients for scarce vaccines. At Orlando Health, a private health system in central Florida, officials formed a committee to come up with broad tips for helping docs navigate the tough choices they could should make as demand for vaccine doses continues to outstrip supply. "No one needs to be on the committee that makes these allocations," says Dr. Cameron Wolfe, associate professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at Duke University. Payel Gupta, MD, assistant clinical professor at SUNY Downstate Medical Heart and Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York Metropolis, said the examine shows there could also be a spot for biologic therapy for any patient with CRS regardless of whether they have nasal polyps or not.

People have been searching for the ultimate diet for decades. They are looking for a quick way to lose weight, which is what each of the 8 fad diets listed below promise. Not only do fad diets promise a dramatic drop in weight, but they also severely limit the types of food that can be consumed, and there's never any mention about consulting a doctor before beginning the Wonder Diet. I'm sure you've heard of most of these fad diets, but don't fall for them. The results are only temporary and the diets often aren't teaching you to have better choices in nutrition.
This liquid diet only supplies you with 400 calories per day. Having such a severe restriction on calories can cause a loss in nutrients. To compensate for this loss, supplements of vitamins and minerals, as well as fatty acids are added to the daily intake of liquid. The Cambridge Diet was very popular in the early 1980s, but has since slacked off a bit. Anyone on this diet is basically gaining the weight loss benefits starvation provides, while protecting muscles from deterioration with the right amount of protein.
Dr. Barry Sears, a biochemist, is the creator of this diet. The formula used for every meal consists of 30 percent fats, 30 percent protein, and 40 percent carbohydrates. Some people find this diet too complex to follow, while others find it to be one of the most perfect diets around. There are very few reports about people feeling hungry or fatigued while on this diet.
This is one of the shortest fad diets around. While weight loss often does occur, most people gain the weight right back after returning to their normal eating habits. People usually lose weight because of the sudden drop in calories, most of which is from water loss. There are a number of menus to follow, so it's hard to say if one is healthier than others.
Food requires a certain amount of calories to be used to digest it, thus creating a sort of 'negative' calorie affect. In reality, this diet enables users to lose weight by having them consume a lower number of calories. According to this diet plan, eating a stick of celery will cause the body to burn up 95 calories, in order to digest it.
This diet takes 10 days to complete and is also known as the Master Cleanse Diet. Basically you drink 6 to 10 glasses of a concoction of water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. If you get hungry you're supposed to drink a glass of this stuff. The measurements used for each ingredient are as follows: 2 T lemon juice, 2 T grade B maple syrup, a tenth of a tsp of powdered cayenne pepper, and 10 ounces of distilled water.
Cardiologist Arthur Agatston created this diet plan for heart patients who were overweight. Patients reported having success in losing weight with this diet. This diet has been called the 'healthy' version of the Atkins. There is a long list of good foods that are able to be eaten while using this diet, such as fish, chicken, fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Three phase exist in this diet plan. Phase one is the induction phase that lasts for two weeks. Mostly carbs are avoided during this phase, but snacks and three meals a day are still consumed. Phase two introduces a few new foods avoided during phase one. The third and final phase consists of learning to make this way of eating a part of your daily lifestyle.
In the 7 days this diet lasts, reports of fast weight loss is common. While weight loss is bound to occur, due to the lower intake of calories, most people have a hard time dealing with the bouts of gas. Anyone who has eaten cabbage knows that it tends to cause gas. The soup is not only bland and lacking in nutrition, but it is also rather salty.
This diet takes 12 days to complete. There is a list of foods that are acceptable for the diet, such as corn, broccoli, leaf spinach, bell peppers, cereal, pretzels, sweet pickles, red onions, radishes, and pasta. There is also a list of foods that are to be avoided while on the 12 day diet, such as cucumbers, chili, carrots, butter, bread, green beans, hot dogs, mayonnaise, peas, potatoes, and salad dressing, just to name a few. Basically what gives the grapefruit diet its name is the fact that either half a grapefruit or 8 ounces of grapefruit juice are consumed with each meal three times a day.
Each of the 8 fad diets listed above boast some fairly miraculous claims. Not one of them suggested that the person dieting should also do a little exercise as well. Eating healthy food at regular intervals and increasing your activity level is much better than any fad diet. Have you ever fallen into a fad diet and seen the results it claimed it would provide?

Becky worked with us diligently helping us understand the market with statistic facts, guided us on setting the right price point to avoid chasing the market, and providing tips in organizing and making our house ready for market. She listed our house, marketed it for one weekend (Fri and Sat) for showing, and come Sunday with multiple offers (8) over asking price. Within the month, we were at the closing table. Even though, she didn't set an expectation on how fast we'll get to closing, we were extremely satisfied with Becky and her team at Red&Co Real Estate throughout this selling process.

EDUCATION CANNOT WAIT: YOUTH PARTICIPATION /
TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION IN ECW GOVERNANCE
OFFICIAL TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR ELECTION OF CIVIL SOCIETY POSITIONS IN EDUCATION CANNOT WAIT (ECW) GOVERNANCE
Opportunity Summary: Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the global fund for education in emergencies is governed by representatives from Members States, multilateral funds, UN agencies, private sector and civil society organisations in a High-Level Steering Group (HLSG) and Executive Committee (ExCom).
The ECW Operational Manual states that at least four civil society organisation representatives are selected to 'represent northern, southern and youth organisations' in the HLSG and ExCom.
1. Four sub-groups forming the ECW civil society constituency
Four new sub-groups will be created under an overall umbrella civil society constituency. Each sub-group will elect a representative organisation for the HLSG and ExCom (two people from the organisation, one for HLSG and other for ExCom) through a transparent, open election process.
The proposed four CSO sub-groups are the following and should have diversity across regions, language, gender, disability, organisational size, etc.
1 x National/local/regional NGO/CSO/network
1 x Teacher organisation
1 x youth/student-led organisation
1 x INGO/international/northern network
1.1 Terms of reference for the membership of the sub-groups
For all sub-groups
A sub-group only becomes operational when it has a minimum of 10 registered organisation
If membership of any sub-group falls below 10, its positions within ECW governance will be unfilled
Membership of sub-groups is open to civil society organisations only: for-profit/corporate entities and foundations are not eligible for
Membership of sub-groups remains open and new members can join at any
An organisation can only be a member of one sub-group.
NATIONAL/REGIONAL/LOCAL NGOs/CSOs/NETWORKS SUB-GROUP
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society organisations (CSOs) including community and faith-based organisations, which are headquartered and operate in an aid- recipient, developing country and have programmes in the field of education (formal or non- formal) at the national or subnational/local level are welcomed to be a member of this sub-group. National NGOs and CSO in crisis-affected countries are strongly encouraged to join this sub- group. NGOs which are affiliated to an international NGO, a commercial corporation or its foundation, which have their headquarters in a developed country, cannot be a member of this sub-group.*
INGO/INTERNATIONAL/NORTHERN NETWORKS SUB-GROUP
INGOs, international and northern networks are non-profit institutions (including faith based organisations) operating in at least two continents which may develop, finance or implement activities in the domain of education as either their primary or secondary mission and are based in an aid-giving country.*
*Using ISAC Definitions
TEACHER ORGANISATIONS SUB-GROUP
Teacher organisations are registered teacher trade unions, professional associations or their federations or confederations composed predominantly of teachers, education support personnel or/and researchers working in the field of education. Member Organisations of Education International are automatically members of the teacher organisations sub-group.
YOUTH/STUDENT-LED ORGANISATIONS SUB-GROUP
Membership of the youth/student-led sub-group is open to organisations which meet the following criteria:
Organisations which are youth- or student-led: this means where the organisation is led predominantly by young people aged 30 or below. For example, at least 51% of the organisation's membership or board must be young people aged 30 or below, or for membership organisations, at least 51% of your membership must be youth- or student-led. For grassroots or informal groups, at least 51% of the people who make decisions regarding the work of the organisation must be aged 30 or below.
And one or both of the following:
Organisations which work in the field of education: this includes both formal education (such as school/university-based groups) and informal education (such as community-based groups working on education issues).
Organisations which work in or on emergency contexts: this includes organisations of any size working directly with displaced populations or advocating for the rights of displaced populations.
Organisations do not have to be legally or formally registered to be a member of the youth/student- led sub-group.
2. Job description and role specification of elected representatives
Elected organisations will serve a two-year term, renewable once by re-election should they wish.
Each elected organisation must have significant experience (at least 5 years for the INGO, national/local NGO and teacher sub-groups) in either programmatic or advocacy (ideally both) on education in emergencies (e.g. conflict, displacement, environmental crisis). This is an essential criteria for nomination.
The civil society representatives should work to support ECW deliver upon its 5 Strategic Objectives through administering the constituencies' activity towards three pillars (with further details below):
Representing the views of the constituency/sub-groups in the HLSG & ExCom
Coordinating civil society advocacy in support of ECW and education in
Engaging with the ECW Secretariat to strengthen ECW's systems, process and policies, including through ensuring that CSOs are represented on ECW Reference
a. Representing the views of the constituency in the HLSG & ExCom
The most important aspect of these roles is to effectively and accurately represent the views of their civil society constituency/sub-groups, prioritising the needs of people living in crisis and emergency settings. HLSG & ExCom members should have a clear understanding of whom they represent as well as the constituency/sub-group's expectations for their role on the HLSG & ExCom. Once in post, representatives must consult widely before expressing the position of the constituency/sub-groups, and then follow up with effective communication to ensure discussion and engagement on important issues and ECW decisions e.g. organising and facilitating regular calls, actively reaching out to seek input, and using online communication tools to communicate frequently with the constituency/sub-groups.
The ExCom members are responsible for managing the constituency/their sub-groups and leading consultations among the constituency/their sub-group to determine a common position and to build consensus. They must also be prepared to represent differences of views that may exist within the constituency and sub-groups and will be called to vote on ExCom decisions on behalf of its sub-group, if necessary.
b. Coordinating civil society advocacy in support of ECW
Civil society representatives should coordinate with the constituency to advocate for more funding for education in emergencies and support ECW with developing and implementing advocacy strategies in support of resource mobilisation. Representatives should coordinate advocacy action (such as joint statements, donor outreach, social media, public mobilisation) to call upon donors and humanitarian community to invest in the ECW Global Trust Fund and/or in-country through aligning their investment behind Multi-Year Resilience Plans.
c. Engaging with the ECW Secretariat to strengthen ECW's systems, processes and policies, including ensuring that CSOs are represented on ECW Reference Groups
Ensure that all ECW Reference Groups include civil society representatives by undertaking an appropriate process such as requesting expressions of interest from sub-groups/constituency. Collect feedback from the constituency on how to best operationalise ECW's processes and undertake proactive outreach to ECW and other ExCom and HLSG members to improve ECW's systems, processes and systems to ensure smooth delivery and coordination at global and country level. CSO representatives are expected to help bridging the gap between global policy- makers and in-country implementation.

Role purpose of the for ExCom Members
Ensure new members can join the sub-groups. Plan the agenda, lead discussion points on monthly constituency calls.
Represent the views of the constituency in ExCom meetings and discussions, both face- to-face and on conference calls/online.
Brief and prepare their HLSG member ahead of HLSG meetings and regularly keep them updated on ExCom and ECW news and progress.
Share all relevant information, including ExCom papers (where permitted) as soon as possible before meetings, and to report back regularly to the constituency/sub-group that has elected them. They must also be prepared to respond to queries and provide advice on an ad-hoc basis through dedicated online mailing lists and discussion forums. The post- holders must also seek to actively encourage debate and engagement within the constituency on key ECW issues or other matters to be raised.
Each ExCom meeting attracts a thick file of papers which require the post-holder to have a good degree of technical knowledge of education in emergencies programming/coordination/advocacy/ funding/ insider knowledge.
To note, ECW papers are provided in English. There may be financial, or time support available from ECW for translation into other languages.
ECW has a number of Reference Groups made up of representatives usually delegated by ExCom members to ensure a varied perspective. Each group should include civil society representatives and therefore ExCom representatives play a role in ensuring this happens. Representatives should issue a transparent opportunity and process to the constituency using the Reference Group Terms of Reference as shared by the ECW Secretariat. All civil society representatives on Reference Groups should keep the constituency updated on group activity.
The posts are voluntary and no remuneration is provided for undertaking these roles.
During the nomination process, candidates for the elections and their representatives must confirm their commitment to:
Being available to participate in meetings and actively consult with the sub-group
Acquiring and maintaining knowledge of ECW
Willingness to be an advocate on behalf of civil society
Support available to civil society
If funding is available, ECW may be able to offer some funding for Developing/Emergency Setting civil society representatives (travel/accommodation costs) to take part in in-person HLSG and ExCom meetings.
If either or both of the elected organisation's representatives from the youth/student-led sub-group is below the age of 18, Section 4.2 of the child protection and safeguarding policy of 100 Million will be applied.
All of the organisations supporting civil society within ECW governance are strongly advocating for greater inclusion by calling for ECW to operate in multiple languages. However, at present, the ECW governance structures and meetings, including all documentation, are only available in English. As such, election organisation's representatives must be able to work in English.
3. Election process
What entities are we electing?
The candidates: each sub-group must elect one organisation to represent them in the ECW governance structure; candidate eligibility is detailed below.
The nominated representatives: Each candidate must nominate two representatives - one for the HLSG, one for ExCom - whose names and relevant information must be included in the candidate manifesto.
The election: subgroups will elect one of the candidates on the understanding that the named nominated representatives will take the seats in the ECW governance structure.
Eligibility for elected organisations of each sub-group
Organisations which wish to stand for election to represent a sub-group in the ECW governance structure must meet all of the following criteria:
must be a registered member of the sub-group for which it wishes to stand
must have extensive and current experience of working in education in emergencies contexts.
For the INGO/international/Northern sub-group candidates must have significant operations in developing, humanitarian and crisis-affected countries e.g. across at least 2 continents.
For the National NGO/CSO candidates must be located in a country/region with recognised humanitarian emergency.
For the youth/student-led sub-group candidates must work in education in emergencies, but this can be formal or informal education.
For the teacher sub-group candidates must work in education in emergencies.
How are we electing?
The nomination process will be open for at least two weeks.
The elections are held over a two-week period.
Incumbent elected organisations, the Global Campaign for Education, Education International, 100 Million, Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and Education Cluster will be responsible for the promotion of the elections, through soliciting members to join the sub-groups and soliciting civil society nominees.
The election will use the alternative voting system, which allows each member of the sub- group to vote for as many candidates as they wish in order of preference.
Votes are counted by preference; to win, the nominee must reach a quota of 50%+1.
If no candidate reaches the quota in the first round of the count, the candidate with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated and the next preference votes from their ballots will be redistributed, and so on until a candidate reaches the quota.
Voting takes place by secret ballot electronically but voting papers will be released to candidates if requested and the names of the organisations who have taken part in the election can be published.
The Returning Officers for the elections will be the Global Campaign for Education (INGO/international sub-group and NGO/local/regional CSO sub-group); Education International (teachers' sub-group); and 100 Million (youth/student-led sub-group). INEE and the Global Education Cluster will act as independent observers for all elections.
While the elected organisations will take on the management of the sub-groups upon their induction, the Global Campaign for Education, Education International, and 100 Million will continue to act as Returning Officers for each subsequent election to avoid conflict of interest, unless a) they tender their resignation as Returning Officers to the constituency; b) these Terms of Reference are changed by a majority vote of all elected organisations within the civil society constitution; or c) a majority vote of no-confidence in any of the organisations as Returning Officer is made by the elected organisations as a result of any official complaint(s) made by members of the subgroup to INEE and the Global Education Cluster in their role as independent observers.
How do you stand for election?
Eligible organisations can nominate themselves and their named representatives for the HLSG & ExCom by completing a nomination form.
There is no requirement to be nominated and seconded by additional organisations.
When sending the nomination form, nominees must also complete a manifesto of 800 words (template included in the form) outlining their experience on education in emergencies and why they want to take on the role in line with the criteria above and ECW Terms of Reference for the HLSG & ExCom, including demonstrated commitment to right to education principles.
The manifesto documents for each sub-group will be circulated with the ballot form and must be submitted in English.
Nominees can use the voting period to campaign if they wish to.
Please note that ECW currently operates in English only and therefore speaking this language is important to effectively playing these roles. Elected civil society organisations should seek to translate communications if financial resources allow it.
4. Resignations and No Confidence
If an elected organisation's representative resigns their seat, or is deemed to have resigned by leaving their organisation, or can no longer act as a member of the ECW HLSG or ExCom for any reason, their organisation should nominate a new named representative and inform the constituency.
Sub-groups are also able to declare no confidence in their elected organisations. If a member of the sub-group feels that their elected organisation is not performing their tasks adequately, that person can call for a vote of no confidence by proposing a motion to vote no confidence in a representative, which must:
Provide clear reasons for the motion – such as no communication or dialogue with the constituency/sub-group, voting against agreed constituency/sub-group policy during HLSG & ExCom meetings, repeated absence from HLSG & ExCom meetings
Be seconded by another sub-group member based in a different country.
The organisation will be sent the proposed vote of no confidence and be asked to prepare a 200- word statement in response to the motion.
The motion and the statement will be circulated to the sub-group full constituency with a two-week period for members to vote in favor or against the motion. The motion will require a two-thirds majority to be passed. If an organisation is asked to stand down following a vote of no confidence, a replacement will be sought by by-election.
If sub-groups have concerns about one of their elected organisation's nominated representatives, a formal complaint procedure will apply.
5. Ways of working/coordination
For streamlined coordination and communication to and between the sub-groups, there will be one overall constituency listserv, within which four sub-groups will have their own listservs.
Managing data throughout election process
Data for each sub-group election will be maintained by an organisation which is fully compliant with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, including the public availability of their GDPR compliance and privacy statements. For the youth/student-led sub-group, the organisation must also have an appropriate child protection and safeguarding policy for data protection purposes.
For the National/local NGO and INGO/international network sub-groups, data will be maintained by the Global Campaign for Education
For the youth/student-led subgroup, data will be maintained by 100 Million.
For the teacher subgroup, data will be maintained by Education International.
Managing data once elected organisations are in place
The elected organisations for each sub-group should comply by their national data protection regulations in order to maintain and protect the listserv for each sub-group.
The four CSO representatives are responsible for organising activities within the sub-groups they represent as needed (e.g setting ad hoc calls, separate consultations, proactive work and advocacy activities).
Potential CSO coordination role
In addition, ECW has shown interest in funding a CSO coordination role (estimated for 1-2 days a week, within one of the elected organisations, most likely the INGO) to be responsible for:
Setting up monthly CSO constituency call
Taking and sharing minutes from these calls
Acting as a conduit between ECW Secretariat and CSO representatives
Organising meetings/calls between the four CSO representatives
Sharing communications received from ECW (including ExCom papers), analysing them where possible and setting up processes for gathering feedback and organising consultations
The new elected representatives will need to take forward conversations with ECW on this new coordination role.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited Dundee in a familiar Black Watch Tartan

City Council Dundee
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine, were in Dundee Scotland to officially open Victoria & Albert Museum and to meet the employees and their families from Micheline Tyre. The couple, known as Earl and Countess of Strathearn in Scotland, last visited the city in October 2015.
KensingtonRoyal
The coastal city of highlands is a short drive from St. Andrew's University, where William and Catherine met in 2001 and fell in love, and the night before their first official visit in 2015, they stayed at the University.
Abertay University on Twitter
Duchess of Cambridge, who became the patron of Victoria & Albert Museum in 2018, along with her husband Prince William officially opened Scotland's first Design Museum V&A Dundee. V&A Dundee explores Scotland's design heritage – its past, present and future.
V&A Dundee on Twitter
About the visit the Palace said, "The visit will build on Catherine's keen interest in promoting the visual arts, and highlighting the value that public institutions like V&A Dundee can offer local communities, particularly in the terms of increased accessibility to world-class art and design".
The establishment of the museum was made possible because of the unique collaboration between V&A, University of Dundee, Abertay University, Dundee City Council, UK and Scottish Governments, the National Lottery and Scottish Enterprises.
See Dundee on Twitter
Welcoming the royal couple's visit, the Director of V&A Dundee Philip Long said, "This official opening marks the beginning of a very exciting year for V&A Dundee, with upcoming exhibitions on videogames, robots and the future of design. Through an eclectic programme, we aim to inspire people and provoke discussion about the role of design in everyone's lives."
The museum, a major cultural hub at the heart of the £1 billion waterfront regeneration plan, is already bringing significant economic and social benefits to the local area, helping to reshape the city's future as a hub for creative industries. Opened for public in September 2018, the museum already had attracted 380,000 visitors since then.
Designed by renowned award-winning Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates following an international competition, the first ever dedicated design museum in Scotland and the only other V&A museum anywhere in the world outside London, V&A Dundee's extraordinary three-storey building is itself a testament to great design and provides a place of inspiration, discovery and learning through its mission to enrich lives through design.
Kuma's vision for V&A Dundee is that it will be a welcoming space for everyone to visit, enjoy and socialise in – a 'living room for the city' – and a way of reconnecting the city to its historic River Tay waterfront. Along with V&A Dundee, Kuma is involved in a number of large, ongoing projects, including arts centres in Besançon and Granada.
During the visit, William and Catherine met Kengo Kuma.
Abertay University
Curving concrete walls (there are no straight external walls) hold 2,500 pre-cast rough stone panels, weighing up to 3000 kg each and spanning up to 4m wide, to create the appearance of a Scottish cliff face. There are 21 separate wall sections. V&A Dundee is an impressive 8,000 meter square building, with 1,650 meter square of gallery space. Beyond its curved walls, V&A Dundee is reconnecting the city with its beautiful and historic riverside.Construction of the building is being led by Dundee City Council, with project management from Turner & Townsend. The total cost of design, construction and fit-out is £80.11m. Learn more about the museum here.
Kensington Palace on Twitter
Catherine, who herself is a graduate of History of Arts, fell in love with the museum immediately and told the attendees that she had never seen a museum like this .
KensintonPalace on Twitter
At the museum, William and Catherine met with the representatives from the Young Peoples Collective, who design programmes, and lead activities and tours of the Museum.
Rosebank PS on Twitter
Duchess was presented with flowers by the students of nearby Rosebank Primary School. As the patron of the museum, the Duchess of Cambridge gave a short speech celebrating the addition of this major new cultural center for Scotland and the UK.
"Last February, I was delighted to be asked to be the @V_and_A's Patron. Now, nearly a year later, I'm thrilled to be standing in a brand new V&A: one which has been built for the city of Dundee and for Scotland." — The Duchess of Cambridge @VADundee #RoyalVisitDundee pic.twitter.com/UyuCeWI8nI
— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) January 29, 2019
William and I are so pleased to be back here in Dundee to celebrate the opening of this wonderful museum today. Thank you so much for inviting us.
Last February, I was delighted to become Patron of The V&Ain London. Now, nearly a year later, I'm thrilled to be standing in a brand new V&A: one which has been built for the city of Dundee and for Scotland, and which is already picking up international awards. In its first four months alone, it welcomed over three-hundred and sixty-thousand visitors – a truly remarkable feat.
Walking around this world-class space, it's easy to see how Scotland's first dedicated design museum is already inspiring the next generation, by providing a new learning space for discovery. I have been captivated by the breath-taking architecture, and the sheer range of design on display.
But most of all I've been moved by the passion of the people who work here, and the dedication of all those who have helped make this important project to succeed. I believe we should celebrate all our leading galleries, museums, and cultural centres playing a greater role in communities, not just in London, but up and down the countrytoo. The cultural riches of the UK belong to all people of the UK.
This is what V&A Dundee has achieved. The partners involved in this project from the local area, Scotland, and the UK more broadly all deserve enormous credit for the way you have collaborated to make this happen. I hope that this Museum will serve as an inspiration to others, by showing how great things can be achieved when different communities all pull together. With this thought in mind, I am pleased to declare V&A Dundee 'officially' open.
I wish you all every success for the future.
Before departing from the museum, the royal couple met and greeted the members of public at the waterfront.
During the walkabout Duchess told a lady that Louis is a fast crawler. She also said that she hope to bring her children to this museum one day.
Royal Family on FB
The mother in Duchess could not help this beautiful moment.
It seems just like all of us this cute little girl also loves Catherine's hair.
A video of the cute moment.
Danielle Marr on Twitter
Lovely Danielle Marr on Twitter shared this beautiful shot of Duchess that she clicked her self during the walkabout.
Next stop of the day was the Crescent Community Centre, where the couple met Dundee Michelin Factory's employees and their families. The tyre factory is set to close down in the mid of 2020 with the loss of 845 jobs. William and Catherine heard first-hand how the factory's planned closure is affecting them.
Dundee City Council
Established in 1971, the company announced its closure in November last year because of the serious difficulties it is facing due to the changes in the market for car tyres and competition from low-cost, entry-level products from Asia. This part of the royal itinerary was received incredibly well by the media and public. It is really important that members of the Royal Family are taking initiative to learn and promote the British Economy through this sort of visits.
As per Lizzie Robinson, during the meeting William said, "The factory has been a huge part of Dundee's very fabric. It has been a key employer for generations, and has helped sustain the local economy for nearly 50 years. For everyone affected, the hope is that all of you sat in this room can find a positive way forward".
Next the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Michelin Action Group, which is aiming to find and take forward solutions for re-purposing the plant and providing a sustainable future for its skilled workforce. The action group meets regularly and includes representatives from the local council, the Scottish and UK Governments, Union officials, Scottish Enterprise and Michelin.
From Chris Ship's report about the visit,
Kensington Palace wants to do this sort of visit more often, particularly as William and Kate, along with Harry and Meghan, have campaigned for better understanding of the variety of causes of mental health problems. There is much to commend Dundee to visitors but whatever steps forward this city took with the opening of V&A Dundee and the regeneration of its waterfront, the prospect of losing so many good jobs will set this place back.
That two senior royals should want to hear about tough times facing a group of workers – as well as celebrate British success – is a welcome step. Lessons from history show us that the better the Royals connect with all citizens, in all walks of life, facing good times and bad – the better they will understand the people of the UK, on whose support the institution of Monarchy ultimately relies.
Coming to the day's fashion and style choices, as expected Duchess of Cambridge chose to pay a sartorial tribute to the Scotland. She brought back her custom made Alexander McQueen Black Watch Tartan Coat, that she first wore in October 2012 during the visit to her old school St. Andrews, just before announcing her first pregnancy.
Duchess again wore the coat during 2013 Christmas Church Service. Yours truly tweeted few hours before the visit wishing that Catherine will bring back this coat dress and the wish was granted. The coat features many similar elements of label's Fall/Winter 2012 $7220 Black Watch Coat that is still available on Net-a-Porter.
Tod's Suede Pumps
Catherine paired the coat with a black sheath dress and her trusty Tod's black suede block heel pumps.
Manu Atelier Green Micro Bold Leather Shoulder Bag
The new element of today's look was the hand bag. Duchess was carrying green suede/leather combination Manu Atelier Green Micro Bold Shoulder Bag. Huge thanks to UFO No More on Twitter for quick id. The £435 bag is already out of stock.
The bag is described as, " This green Manu Atelier Micro Bold leather shoulder bag has been handcrafted with vegetable tanned leather, features a suede body, textured lining and interior zipped pocket. This one will be handy for our work trip in business class, as Winston Churchill once said, "Keep calm and carry on."

Duchess kept the harsh winter away with her Cornelia James Imogen Gloves and a green stole that is an older piece from Catherine's pre-wedding Wardrobe. Middleton Maven suggested that it could be Pickett London's Pashmina Stole in Emerald. The £135 stole is now available for £95.
Pickett London's Pashmina Stole
The silk and pashmina blend stole features hand-twisted silk tassels and is available in wider range of hues. It is described as, "Handmade in Nepal, this classic range of pashminas are 70% *cashmere blended with 30% silk, culminating in hand twisted silk tassels at each end. Available in the stole size in a beautiful myriad of colours from our timeless classics to new limited edition colours introduced each season. Classically luxurious and timeless, they make the perfect gift or a wonderfully indulgent treat for yourself. Pashmina cashmere comes from the Capra Hircus goat that lives in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is a very soft but durable cashmere, which is often blended with silk in order to form the distinctive silk tassels at each end."
Duchess finished her look of the day with Diana's Sapphire and Diamond Oval earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.

Clashes broke out Monday between police and Muslim worshippers near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City. Palestinian reports said three were lightly wounded.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported a number of injuries resulting from clashes at Lions Gate. The report said the chairman of the Palestinian National Initiative, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, was hit in the head by a rubber-tipped bullet and taken to Al-Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem.
A few dozen Palestinian worshippers gathered before the start of the evening prayers near Lions Gate, at the entrance to the Temple Mount, when clashes erupted. The worshippers were throwing stones and other objects at the police force posted at the site.
Police responded by dispersing the worshippers by force.
In a notice sent to district centers throughout the West Bank, the Fatah movement has called for a "day of rage" and processions throughout the West Bank, including demonstrations at checkpoints.
The Temple Mount was reopened to Jewish visitors on Monday morning after being shut for three days in the wake of a deadly shooting attack on Friday, in which to Israeli officers were killed.
Police ordered the shuttering of the Temple Mount compound, which was cleared of people. Police also ordered the cancellation of Friday prayers at the site for the first time in years.
Israeli police had planned to reopen the Mount on Sunday, but the Waqf, the Muslim authority that administers the holy site, refused to unlock the gates in protest of metal detectors Israeli forces installed there on Sunday morning after the attack.
While the Mount was open Monday to both Jewish and Muslim visitors, many of the latter are still boycotting the site in protest of the metal detectors. Jewish visitors on the Mount told Haaretz that there are no Waqf guards present at the site.

Review: 'Beautiful'
By DM Magazine | November 29, 2018 | 0
It's as though the creators of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the touring production that opened last night at Washington's National Theatre, didn't exactly set out to celebrate one gifted songwriter along with two decades of American pop culture, the civil rights movement and women's quest for meaning and equality. It just sort of worked…
Beet Generation
There were beets hanging in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, as well as being cultivated for both love and money in ancient Greece and Rome. The difference was: those cultures were growing beets to eat the greens sprouting from the top of the root. It was a very long time and far away, the 1500s…
Tragedy & Transcendance
If you go to the cinema over Thanksgiving weekend and watch two current-release movies, the "compares" are as numerous as you choose to recognize. Both films cover the late careers of two gifted yet troubled artists who died far too young – describing their efforts to find fame with artistic integrity, their risings and fallings…
Cajun Country Corn
The new settlers foundered initially, failing to recognize or locate enough of anything good to eat. Finally, as much out of desperation as brotherly love, they asked the native Americans who'd lived off this land a lot longer. And they, known as "Indians" since the geographically challenged Columbus called them such, pointed them to the…
Sicilian Swordfish
It was the most memorable lunch on a cruise ship in my three decades of lecturing on cruise ships. It was especially so because quite a few passengers took one look at what was being grilled in the open air and ran not-quite-screaming to the familiar indoor lunch buffet. Somehow, while the ship had been…

It's that time of year when cooking, be it plain or fancy, is at its most meaningful, thanks to those you know are coming for a visit. Unless, of course, you don't know their coming. With all our communication technology, it seems implausible that friends of family would turn up at your doorstep without so…
Review: 'Silent Night'

On the night before Armistice Day – which, of course, gets swallowed up by Veterans Day in the United States – Washington National Opera presents an opera about one half-remembered moment during a war that ended with ringing church bells a full century ago this year.

The Glory of Goulash
If you stay in that beautiful capital on the Danube, Budapest, or wander from one remote corner of Hungary to the other, you won't get a straight answer asking if goulash is really a soup or a stew. We've begun to suspect it is neither, or perhaps it is both. All we really know is…

After five miserable years lying dormant, the Trek franchise was jolted back into pop culture relevancy with the launch of J.J. Abram's flashy and stylish reboot in May of 2009. The highest grossing series installment at the time of its release (not taking inflation into account), the picture brought many new fans into the fold and instantly made the property's future seem oh so bright. The question is, then, does it still hold up six years later? Hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton, along with guests Julia Dilworth and Jamie Davies, are on hand to find out, as they examine the popular entry from both a fan's perspective as well as a non-fan's. Does the flick still work as popcorn entertainment? Was Abrams the right man for the job? How efficiently does it re-establish the characters and world we love so dear? Find out on this very special podcast deep dive into the controversial lens flare-happy box-office hit.

Q: java naming conventions for methods returning futures I'm building a library that's a wrapper for a REST API.
The generated request classes already contained synchronous get, post, patch, put, delete methods.
These methods are generated depending on whether the corresponding HTTP method is supported by the API endpoint that maps to the current request class.
We recently decided to add an asynchronous API surface to the library, returning CompletableFutures of the response type instead of the response type directly.
I was wondering whether there was a naming convention for such methods like in dotnet with the "Async" suffix?
this post would suggest to use subscribe or observe, but observePost or subscribeToPost doesn't sound very intuitive.

Q: Does cloudbees RUN@cloud bill by the hour or by the minute? For example, if I am running an app and it scales out to 5 servers for just 10 minutes, do I pay for 5 servers for 10 minutes or 5 for the whole hour?

A: CloudBees measures your app multiple times per hour, and bills by the minutes consumed. This is also true of DEV@cloud (so the resolution of measurement is by the minute).

What rental companies have agencies in Westminster?

What type of rental car should I get for my trip to Westminster?
What age do you have to be to rent a car in Westminster?
Usually, to rent a car in Westminster you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to review the supplier's terms to discover what the total will be before you rent your vehicle.
Is insurance required to rent a car in Westminster?
When cruising through Westminster or the rest of the U.S.A., you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you rent a car.

You might be able to purchase additional insurance through the rental car dealer, if you are concerned your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

KATAKLYSM - release new animated video & tour start!
2018-10-16 - Montréal based melodic death metallers KATAKLYSM will kick off the European leg of the Death… Is Just The Beginning tour with label-mates HYPOCRISY and THE SPIRIT this Thursday!. Today, the band offer a new music video for "…And Then I Saw Blood" in celebration of the upcoming trek.
KATAKLYSM explored a new creative and artistic side when they hired acclaimed Romanian visionary artist Costin Chioreanu to tell the story of "…And Then I Saw Blood". The video chronicles a post-apocalyptic world dominated by A.I. Two dying brothers are brought to a facility where their minds are uploaded into a digital virtual world dominated and controlled by oppressors of mankind. As hope appears to defy the system in place, the two brothers are forced to make a decision to either follow their human instinct or their new found conscious.
KATAKLYSM frontman comments "'…And Then I Saw Blood' can be interpreted in many different ways as it has an open concept to it. Everyone can see it the way they want but we wanted an animated video done with an artistic flair. Costin was the perfect artist to do it. I told him the central theme of the track deals with the betrayal of two close friends. I asked him to bring in his own world on how he envisioned the song and theme. Costin totally out did himself in this futuristic but realistic interpretation of where we are headed as people continue to get absorbed by technology and this urge to create something bigger, stronger, and more intelligent in this obsession to become godlike."

Bill Gates is Using an Android Phone – Is This a Big Deal?
Sep 29, 2017 Android, Bill Gates, Microsoft, Technology
Is this a big deal? Bill Gates announced this past weekend that he is now using an Android device. On one hand, this signals the demise of the Windows Phone, but is it really that big of a deal? Gates mostly uses Microsoft software on the Android phone, so again, I ask the question – is this really a big deal? I am not really sure how I feel about this. But it does make sense for Gates to pick an Android device over iOS. Microsoft is in the middle of a bad battle with Google over productivity software, but Gates has a long history of conflict with Apple. And, honestly, Android is closer to the Microsoft ethos than iOS.
I've said this a million times, if I've said it once – people are brand loyal. People who use iOS devices, almost solely use iOS devices. Getting back to the Microsoft "ethos" though. You can customize the operating system and run fringe apps easier on Android, and in general it's platform is more widely supported than Apple. I can be a bit of a rule follower. If you know me, you know this to be true. (Also, if you know the line of work I'm in, this rings double true) Which is why I kind of like the iOS devices. Maybe because I can't do anything with them outside of what Apple tells me I can? Like I said, I like parameters. I like to know what I can and can't do. Straight up. But that doesn't mean that there aren't benefits to the Android devices. They just aren't my preference.
Gates, on the other hand, disagrees with me. In fact, he seems to like the model that Google has developed. It has created a greater market share overall than the iPhone. Some would say that if you're a hardcore tech user, then you likely have an Android phone. I'm not sure if I believe that, but it's a theory. What people tend to dislike about Apple is the eco-system that they've built. Developers and builders want fewer restrictions. Another theory is that it's easier to get an Android app approved in the Google Play Store than it is to get one approved in the Apple App Store.
But is this a sell out? I mean, I don't think so. If Microsoft isn't putting more money or resources into their own phone, then what difference does it make? He needs to use some kind of phone, doesn't he? If Tim Cook suddenly said he was switching to the Galaxy S8, I think it would be reason for concern. But he didn't. Yes, Microsoft tried to get into the phone business, but they couldn't. Or they couldn't for very long. Which means, they're likely getting out of the phone business so let him get whatever device he wants. I didn't hear an announcement from Microsoft that they were getting rid of their phones, but this is certainly a sign that they're on their way out.

Thank you 20 Million Times! The Thrill Is Not Gone
B.B. King was the greatest living exponent of the blues and considered by many to be the most influential guitarist of the latter part of the 20th century. His career dates back to the late forties and despite now being in his eighties he remains a vibrant and charismatic live performer. B.B. King has been a frequent visitor to the Montreux festival, appearing 23 times, so choosing one performance was no easy task. This 1993 concert is ranked as one of his finest at any venue. With a superb backing band and a great set list its a must for any blues fan.

Where Science, Art and Society Meet
February 23, 2015 Claude Nobs Foundation
The Montreux Jazz Café at EPFL will occupy the southern part of the complex overlooking Lake Geneva. More than just a food hall, and thanks to the support of Audemars Piguet SA, the Café will also be a hub of experimentation dedicated to enhancement of the Montreux Jazz Festival audio-visual archives digitised by the EPFL, which include over 15,000 hours of recordings (part of the UNESCO Memory of the World register since 2013). The public will be given opportunities to discover these, in particular via immersive visualisation and navigation devices developed at EPFL. These digitisation and enhancement operations were performed in the framework of the Montreux Jazz Digital Project thanks to support by Audemars Piguet as well as other partners who joined the initiative – Logitech SA for developing the demonstrators, the Ernst Göhner Foundation, Amplidata, the Fondation Lombard Odier, Loterie Romande as well as private sponsors.

Street Artists as Voices of Inequality and Repression.
My postdoctoral research includes three aspects of visual culture research and art research: 1) approaching street art as an art form, 2) re-raising the authorship to the center of research, and 3) defining illegal political street art as political participation. These themes are not only socially important but also current in street art research. With regard to the field of street art studies, international research has long been oriented towards the study of street art pieces and not their authors, partly because of the fact that authors are not always recognizable or they do not want to become known. The motives of the authors to create political street art have also been excluded from the research. So this study is a clear opening in international research because often street art works are street artist's personal observations and thoughts which are linked into the social or political situations.
The first results of this study will be published in the spring of 2019. I will present research in a conference and also in a chapter of book 'Street politics in critical times. Street art, graffiti and visual protest across the world'.
