Cassini–Huygens, or more commonly, Cassini, was a Flagship-class unmanned robotic spacecraft which was planned, built, launched, and operated in collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency, and was sent to the planet Saturn. Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit. It studied the planet and its many natural satellites from when it entered orbit in 2004 to when it began its final, suicide descent in September 2017.
The spacecraft was steered to its death when its fuel had been expended so that it would not crash into one of Saturn's moons and possibly contaminate it with materials from Earth.
Giovanni Domenico Cassini (8 June 1625 – 14 September 1712) was an Italian mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and engineer who discovered four satellites of the planet Saturn and noted the division of the rings of Saturn.
and knew there was something unseen beyond.
Astronomer Edwin Hubble announced the discovery of other galaxies beyond the Milky Way in 1924. Before he made his discovery, everyone thought that our Milky Way galaxy was the only galaxy in the universe, and that there wasn't much outside it besides the Magellanic Clouds, which were thought to be clouds of gas or dust. We know now that the Magellanic Clouds are really dwarf galaxies. He renamed the Andromeda Nebula the "Andromeda galaxy," and he went on to discover 23 more separate galaxies. Within a few years of Hubble's discovery, most astronomers came to agree that our galaxy is just one of millions.
Today the farthest is closest to us.
Unseen by naked eyes, undiscoverable by observation.
Known by calculation, prediction and some faith.
Frozen home for a banished sea god.

Though I was using Neptune's closest passing of the year today as the starting place for this poem, I was thinking about someone who died recently. I felt a connection between Neptune's orbit of about 165 years being like two lifetimes, and my lifetime being combined with the one lost. Both of them unseen, but a presence felt, if not by calculation, then by a faith in some prediction that there is something out there beyond this world.

MacQwerty Asset Management maintains funding rating on new fund… raise target price by 3.6%
Macqwerty_Header
SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, November 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — MacQwerty Asset Management announced that it maintained its funding opinion on the new fund and offered a target price of $11, up 3.6% from the previous.
According to data distributed by MacQwerty Asset Management, 'MacQwerty Asset Management' disclosed $1 per share in the third quarter. The company's dividend resolution is made in the second and fourth quarters. It is common to predict the annual performance so that the dividends in the first and second half are the same. However, he explained that the dividend in the second half of this year increased by 2.7% compared to the first half, exceeding market expectations.
'MacQwerty Asset Management' announced that it has completed the formation of 'Bio Sector Invest Healthcare MCT 1 Collective', which has been recruiting since last October. The size of the fund was $ 1.35 million, completing 98% of the planned formation of the bio-fund. The portfolio selected by MacQwerty Asset Management has been showing an upward trend recently. It has a system linked to the inflation rate. MacQwerty Asset Management also added that the return rate is linked to the KTB interest rate, allowing hedging from inflation.
This year's dividend is 4.2% higher than the previous year. The dividend has been steadily increasing since 2021. DPS in 2023 is estimated to be $1.25, an increase of 6.7% from the previous year. It is said that this is based on an even improvement in the performance of the holdings, such as reflecting the preference for interest dividends from ETF assets and entering the dividend stage sooner than expected.
A MacQwerty Asset Management official said, "It seems that some of the funds have been diverted to the fund as individual investors who made profits from direct investment in 2021 had difficulties in selecting individual stocks in the market sideways guarantee in 2022." The official added, "Funds have noticeably increased interest in overseas markets similar to direct investment."

Mobility Support for Dogs is completely natural and unique product of New Zealand. Chewable tablets contains pure New Zealand bee venom VENZ™ and Glucosamine & Green Shell mussels which assist with joints mobility in dogs and cats.
Greenshell Mussel Powder has been utilized as an oral supplement by sufferers of the symptons of joint inflammation, stiffness and pain throughout the world since as the 1970s. Use has continued to grow as a supplement for joint health independently and in combination with other well known complimentary joint and bone health ingredients.
Three key components have been identified as primarily being responsible for the beneficial effects of Green Shell Mussel Powder. It is these three compounds working together generating the synergies that comprise the anti-inflammatory moiety. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), omega 3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA) and a unique phosphorylated glycogen molecule have all been shown independently to be important ingredients in joint health promotion. Whilst research continues to identify the exact biochemical mechanism of each compound what is clear is that the activity of the three combined in Greenshell Mussel Powder exceeds the sum of each individual component revealing an important natural synergy present in whole mussel powder.
Understanding of Greenshell Mussel Powder's importance as a joint health ingredient is on the rise as manufacturers of supplements ad dunctional foods look for proven ingredients to support the needs of consumers looking for matural joint health remedies.

When a fish becomes fluid
Fluidity transition in zebrafish embryo necessary for development – Study published in Nature Cell Biology

Zebrafish aren't just surrounded by liquid, but turn liquid – in part – during their development. As the zebrafish embryo develops from a ball of cells to a fully-formed fish, a region of the embryo switches its phase from viscous to liquid in a process known as fluidity transition. Such fluidity transition has long been speculated to exist in living matter, but is described for the first time to occur in a living organism in a study published today in Nature Cell Biology. The study was carried out by the group of Carl-Philipp Heisenberg at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, with first author and postdoc Nicoletta Petridou, and together with the group of Guillaume Salbreux at The Francis Crick Institute and Edouard Hannezo, also at IST Austria.
Zebrafish are particularly suited for studying animal development as the embryo is transparent and develops outside the mother. At the very beginning of zebrafish development, a tissue layer, the so-called blastoderm, spreads over the yolk. The blastoderm changes shape to form a dome, hence this process is known as 'doming'. In the study, Petridou et al. investigated the mechanical forces at play during this shape change. By applying pressure to embryonic tissue through a pipette and measuring how fast it deforms, the researchers could infer how viscous or fluid the tissue is: tissue that deforms slowly is more viscous/less fluid than tissue that deforms quickly. Repeating the experiment at several time points and regions in the developing embryo, the researchers found that during doming, the tissue suddenly fluidizes at a very specific time and tissue region. "Such a fluidity transition was predicted to happen by theory and models, but here we show for the first time that it happens in a real, living organism", says first author Nicoletta Petridou.
Lost in division
Why and how does zebrafish tissue become liquid? In "normal" viscous tissue, the cells are in close contact with each other. The authors found that the fluidity transition happens because cells keep on dividing during development. During division, the cells become round and detach from their neighbors. The more the cells divide, the more connections are lost between them, until they eventually lose so many contacts that the tissue turns liquid. "This is a mechanical and not biochemical change", explains Petridou, "The embryo is programmed to divide, it cannot escape it."
All cells in the embryo divide, however, and the researchers observed that only a very specific region of the tissue, the central region of the blastoderm, became fluid. They then looked for a process that would prevent other areas of the embryo from turning fluid. A certain signaling pathway, the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, stopped the fluidity change at the margins of the embryo, says Petridou. "Non-canonical Wnt signaling keeps cells connected and allows the embryo margins to bypass fluidization. We think that the default of the tissue is to become fluid, but the signaling keeps specific areas from turning fluid."
A sudden change
When the fluidity transition goes wrong – either because the researchers stopped Wnt signaling so that all areas of the blastoderm become fluid, or because they inhibited fluidization in the entire blastoderm – doming is impaired and the embryo progresses more slowly during early development.
"Our study shows that regulated changes in tissue material properties play an important and significant role in morphogenesis", summarizes Petridou. But the authors might also have found first signs of a well-known concept of physics happening in a living organism. The very sudden transition from viscous to fluid in the blastoderm resembles a well-known concept from physics, the phase transition. "Phase transitions, such as when water boils, happen suddenly. We called the phenomenon observed in zebrafish 'fluidity transition' as we are not certain that it is, in fact, a phase transition in the true sense of physics", explains Petridou, "However, we are working further to define whether this is a phase transition. Phase transitions can happen in molecular networks, but we don't yet know if they can happen in a tissue or in an embryo."

How Loud Is Too Loud? Doctors and Club Owners on Hearing Loss and Volume
by Molly Beauchemin
Last year, Grimes cancelled tour dates because of her struggle with tinnitus. Photo by Daniel Cavazos.
A few months ago while photographing a concert in Montreal, I saw something I'd never seen at a show before: audience members covering their ears.
That image came back to me a little while later, when Grimes revealed her struggle with tinnitus and tweeted that the ringing in her ears was so loud she couldn't sleep. I thought of it again when I read an interview with Zach Hill of Death Grips, in which he mentioned the ear blockage he experienced as a result of lifelong exposure to loud music. Then I came across a story about a music fan who killed himself over chronic hearing damage incurred at a concert. And another. And then, eight others—before unearthing a jarring world of message board threads dedicated to suicidal thoughts that result from tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a neurological problem that originates in the brain, involving miscommunication between noise-damaged sensory cells; the result is a continuous ringing sound in the ears. Tinnitus is permanent. Once sensitive hair cells are damaged, they can no longer transmit impulses to the auditory nerve and to the brain. 50 million Americans suffer from tinnitus (2 million become so debilitated by unrelenting ringing that they are incapable of carrying out normal daily activities), and musicians are at significantly higher risk than the general population. The only other group who suffer so ubiquitous from hearing damage are GIs exposed to wartime explosions.
Which leads me to wonder: If musicians and listeners are both suffering as a result of exposure to loud music, then why don't venues just turn the volume down?
Nick Cageao, head of audio at Saint Vitus bar in Brooklyn, says the typical show at his venue ranges from around 98db (louder than a power drill) to 115db (20 db louder than the level at which sustained exposure may result in hearing loss). Tests of this sound level on rats have ruptured blood vessel walls.
Cageao says he tries to wear earplugs whenever possible—he's actually endorsed by a company called Etymotic, who make a music pro series of hi-def earplugs. Like most of us, though, he often forgets to put them in. "I have some pretty harsh hearing damage around 4/5 khz and a persistent ring," he admits.
At her clinic at the New York Hearing Center, Kathy Feng has seen many patients with temporary hearing damage from rock concerts—but, reassuringly, she tells me that their damage is rarely full-blown tinnitus. "The degree of hearing damage [from loud music] has a lot to do with how long the person was exposed to dangerous levels of noise," says a representative from her team, who (much to the support of my mounting hypochondria) points out that riding the subway is also bad for your ears. (Cell phone usage also increases your risk of tinnitus.)
Prolonged exposure increases the risk of permanent damage. According to Phonak audiologist Daniela-Simone Feit, our ears need about 10 hours of rest in between bouts of extreme noise. Marcus Rimondini, a audio technician who works various venues in Australia, backs this up. "A lot of the older audio technicians who I've worked with, who started working through the 70s, 80s and 90s, always tell me how damaged their hearing is. The same goes for band managers who are just attending gig after gig."
There's a persistent notion that earplugs "lessen" the concert experience by cutting out important frequencies—though many professionals contend that's not necessarily true.
When properly inserted, foam earplugs block out dangerous frequencies. Custom earplugs, like those Cageao mentions, are made by taking an impression in the ear and then grafting a silicon earpiece to fit the mold. (Feng makes them at her clinic, usually for professional musicians.) Silicon won't flex or shrink, and filters can be ordered to customize what sound frequencies can enter the transmitter, though you have to order them separately (and for a price).
Most agree that if earplugs are going to "cut out" any important sounds, it'll be vocals, which sit on the high end of the mix and are hardest to capture because of the artist's distance from the mic and the fact that they are constantly moving. Audiologists, however, agree that vocals aren't loud enough to be blocked out even from cheap earplugs, which are designed to cut out only the dangerous frequencies. Some, like Cageao, think that earplugs might even benefit the listening experience by cancelling out extraneous noise and "crappy frequencies," thus making the sound a little more compressed and even.
If you're wondering why music is played so loudly to begin with, it varies—and it's not going to change, because it's often hard to control. "Most [artists] just want to be able to hear themselves clearly and 'feel' loud," says David Lefcort, an audio engineer in NYC (and former Pitchfork intern). There are legal limits on how loud a club can get, but the volume is usually set at a threshold that's already considered "dangerous." A small room traps sound more effectively than a large one, and a full room also responds differently than an empty one (you're better off in a crowd). Concrete reverberates sound (it's a good idea to wear earplugs at a basement show) and the closer you are to the stage, the louder it will be.
It seems like the largest resistance to earplugs is cultural. Our social climate relegates earplugs to the same category as sunscreen and contraceptives—proactive measures that are easily mocked only because we secretly know how important they are. "I don't think the answer is changing the way music is performed," Lefcort says. "It's on the listeners to protect themselves."

ART SUNDAY - TOM ROBERTS
"Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul." - Henri Matisse
Thomas William "Tom" Roberts (9 March 1856 – 14 September 1931) was a prominent Australian artist and a key member of the Heidelberg School of Australian Impressionists. Roberts was born in Dorchester, Dorset, England, where his parents were newspaper editors, and he migrated with his family to Australia in 1869 to live with relatives. Settling in Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, he worked as a photographer's assistant through the 1870s while studying art at night under Louis Buvelot and befriending others who were to become prominent artists, notably Frederick McCubbin.
He returned to England for three years of full-time art study at the Royal Academy Schools from 1881 to 1884. Through the 1880s and 1890s he worked in Victoria, in his studio at the famous studio complex of Grosvenor Chambers at 9 Collins Street in Melbourne, and at a number of artists' camps and visits around the colony. He married 35-year-old Elizabeth (Lillie) Williamson in 1896, and they had a son, Caleb. Many of his most famous paintings come from this period.
Roberts was an expert maker of picture frames, and during the period 1903–1914, when he painted relatively little, much of his income apparently came from this work. He spent World War I in England assisting at a hospital. In Australia, he built a house at Kallista, near Melbourne. This was a particularly productive and happy period in Roberts' life. Elizabeth died in January 1928, and Tom remarried, to Jean Boyes, in August 1928. He died in 1931 of cancer in Kallista near Melbourne. He is buried near Longford, Tasmania.
Roberts painted a considerable number of fine oil landscapes and portraits, some painted at artist camps with his friend McCubbin, but perhaps his most famous works, in his time, were two large works, the iconic "Shearing the Rams" (posted above) and the monumental "The Big Picture". Shearing the Rams, based on a visit to a sheep station (large farm) at Brocklesby in southern New South Wales, depicted the wool industry that had been Australia's first export industry and a staple of rural life. At the time it was exhibited, it was criticised because many critics did not feel that it fitted the definition of 'high art'. However, since the wool industry was Australia's greatest export industry at the time, it was a theme which many Australian people could identify with. The painting showed a view of the shearing sheds, which was not in some cases realistic. Shearing would probably have been much messier; for instance the shearer on the left has picked the ram up to move it, when normally it would have been dragged backwards. Roberts loved this theme because it valued the work of ordinary Australian people.
He made many other paintings showing country people working, with a similar image of the shearing sheds in "The Golden Fleece", a drover racing after sheep breaking away from the flock in "A break away!", and with men chopping trees in "Wood splitters". Many of Roberts' paintings were landscapes or ideas done on small canvases that he did very quickly, such as his exhibits at the famous "9 by 5 Impression Exhibition" in Melbourne, "9 by 5" referring to the size in inches of the cigar box lids which most of the paintings were done on. Roberts had more works on display in this exhibition than anyone else. Many of the paintings had humorous touches and anecdotes, showing Roberts' sense of humour.
"The Big Picture", a depiction of the first sitting of the Parliament of Australia, was an enormous work, very notable for the event depicted as well as the quality of Roberts' work. Many examples of Roberts' work can be seen at the National Gallery of Australia, but "The Big Picture" is displayed at Parliament House, Canberra. Whilst in Sydney, Roberts met Charles Conder and the two became friends, painting together at Coogee beach. Roberts' time in Sydney proved extremely influential on the young artist, and Conder followed him to Melbourne later that year to join the group of artist friends at Heidelberg.
Roberts' life was dramatised in the 1985 mini series "One Summer Again".

Welcome to Nicholas V's Blog on Blogger
I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.
I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.

Apr 3, 2017-With the rise in mercury, the drinking water problem has resurfaced in Baitadi creating unwarranted difficulties for the locals.
The depleting water resources have caused drinking water problems in Melauli Municipality-2 and Salena-6 in particular.
The failure to repair and operate the old drinking water project compounded with a rise in the population. "We have to head to a place located at an hour's walking distance to fetch water," local villager Madhu Bhatta shared. He added that the villagers are compelled to go to faraway locations for drinking water and even drink contaminated water.
The drinking water project developed three decades ago and which supplies water from Gwalekh source in Dasharathchand Municipality to Melauli is in a derelict condition and need of repair. The jeeps, horses and mules are being used as means to transport water to Melauli Bazaar. Bhatta shared that the hotel operators, in particular, are facing a major problem of drinking water.
Deepa Joshi said she has to walk for an hour to a well to fetch water.
"The water in the wells of the villages has also dried up and this has created problems for us," she said.
Health Post in-charge Narayan Chand said the villagers are also facing problems in maintaining hygiene due to lack of water.

Modest fashion brand looks towards Pakistan
Rabia Z aims to benefit from the growing apparel consumer market. PHOTO RABIA Z
LAHORE: The rise in Pakistan's fashion retail industry in recent years has been gigantic, creating space for local as well as global brands which feed the lifestyle needs of the affluent and the rising middle class.
This is especially the case in women's apparel category, where brands are offering printed lawns and prêt wears throughout the year. However, with Pakistan being a Muslim country, another avenue for fashion-savvy ladies has started knocking the doors of the country's retail industry.
The 'modest fashion', which comprises long shirts, colourful hijabs and other such ready-to-wear apparels, at brand stores is something new for Pakistani women.
Perceiving this demand, Rabia Z, a global pioneer in modest fashion category, has decided to choose Pakistan's lucrative market as its next destination after dominating markets in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
In an interview with The Express Tribune, Rabia Z's Founder and Chief Executive Officer Rabia Zargarpur said that in the next five years, the modest fashion industry will lead the Pakistani women's wear market, leading it to become a household name.
"Pakistan is among the top 10 consumer markets in my list where people like to spend on apparels," she said. "The country has a huge potential in fashion apparel segments, which is evident from the fact that a lot of fashion brands are already flourishing."
The Emirati entrepreneur's core business model revolves around e-commerce. Since the brand's inception in 2001, she has focused on the internet to promote and expand Rabia Z's presence throughout the globe.
In Pakistan, the formal launch will be held this summer and it will also be based on e-commerce model. However, in future, Zargarpur plans to establish a proper retail set-up and will engineer the modest fashion apparel brand by using the country's rich culture.
"I am very interested in starting production in Pakistan and then sourcing all the natural fabrics from here," she said, adding that once the foundation is set, she will expand and look for outlets for wholesaling and stocking at good retail stores.
She also said she might delve into the franchise model in collaboration with some of the leading textile groups of the country.
The brand already has a presence in Pakistan with the company selling its products via e-commerce, catering to the ever-rising demand.
"Opportunity is getting bigger and bigger every time I visit Pakistan," said Zargarpur. "In 2008, I received my first franchise request from Pakistan and since then I have always gained positive feedback from the country."
The brand's founder added that, in general, Muslim countries are already spending billions of dollars on apparels and global Islamic fashion clothing is among top three segments after halal food and Islamic finance.
"By 2020, it is expected that the global Muslim spending on Islamic fashion apparel could reach up to $368 billion and Pakistan, as one of the top 10 consumer markets, could definitely play its role," she said.
However, she believes that in order to capitalise on the opportunity, big business groups should come together to support struggling designers and brands. "Women designers in Pakistan, who are designing apparels as a hobby, should consider converting it into a business with some value addition," she said, adding that there is so much talent and rich culture in the country that the designers can increase their customer base.
"If Pakistan grooms home-grown talent, it would really change the game, and small and medium enterprises have the required potential to streamline operations and offer products to local as well as global markets."

VVDailyPress: Valles forwards inquiry to Attorney General
Brooke Edwards
VICTORVILLE • Councilwoman Angela Valles has sent a letter to the state Attorney General's Opinion Unit, asking the agency to look into a potential conflict of interest regarding Mayor Pro Tem Rudy Cabriales.
It's a move that was recommended by the Fair Political Practices Commission after the city attorney contacted that agency asking for advice on the issue last month.
Cabriales has voted in favor of a number of city contracts with companies that have made donations to the High Desert Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. His wife, Vickie Cabriales, is CEO of the chamber and receives a commission on top of her annual salary for each sponsorship she brings in.
"In my opinion this provides a direct financial benefit to Mr. Cabriales and provides incentive for him to vote in favor of contracts with companies who sponsor Hispanic Chamber events," Valles wrote in her letter to the Attorney General. "I believe this has been going on since Rudy and Vickie have been married and needs to be investigated to protect the voters."
The FPPC cited a potential for a conflict in its May 3 letter, suggesting Victorville seek further guidance from the Attorney General's office. However, both Cabriales and Mayor Ryan McEachron declined to press the issue further, and so Valles personally sent the letter Thursday.
It generally takes four to six months for the Office of the Attorney General to write an opinion, according to the agency's website, with a response then expected in September at the earliest.

The Great Resignation or the Great Rethink?
Many of us are considering our jobs with a fresh perspective.
Ranjay Gulati
AndreyPopov/Getty Images
Summary.
Unsettled by the pandemic, most people are considering our jobs with fresh perspective. Some are quitting, in what has been dubbed the Great Resignation. But, for many, it's more of a Great Rethink. Do we really like our employers' culture? Do we feel that we're fairly treated and have the advancement opportunities we want? Most profoundly, does our work feels as meaningful as we'd like it to? For those answering no to any of these questions, research into "deep purpose" organizations has unearthed some strategies that individuals can use to find more meaning in their careers and lives. First, know your personal purpose and then evaluate whether you really need it on the job or can find it elsewhere. If you do, try job-crafting to align your responsibilities with that purpose and evaluate your boss and employer to make sure they can support you in that endeavor. If after all that you still cannot find meaning, it might be time to consider moving on.
A friend of mine — I'll call him Jim — was in the running for a C-suite job at his company, a consumer packaged goods firm. I've known him for years, and he'd always seemed happy and fulfilled in his career. So, imagine my surprise when not long ago I got this two-word text message from him: "I quit."
I texted him back asking if everything was okay. I expected that he would reference a dispute with another leader or a business decision gone bad. Instead, he said, "I'm becoming the kind of person I don't want to be."
We spoke on the phone, and he explained that a recent decision taken by leaders at this firm had given him pause. They had acted to secure economic gain at the expense of customers, suppliers, and the environment and seemed unbothered by their decisions, regarding them as "slam dunks."
The experience had made him realize that he didn't really believe in his company or its mission. Whereas previously he might have suppressed his growing doubts, the combination of a personal health scare, the recent death of his father, friction at home, and the prolonged isolation and introspection resulting from the pandemic had prompted him to become more introspective. "Our products aren't healthy," he told me. "I wouldn't want my kids to eat that junk." The lure of a big paycheck and working for a prestigious and very profitable company had worn off. His only thought was: "Why should I work for this company?"
Many of us are asking such questions nowadays. Unsettled by the pandemic, we find ourselves considering our jobs with fresh perspective. Some are quitting, in what has been dubbed the Great Resignation. But, for many, it's more of a Great Rethink. Do we really like our employers' culture? Do we feel that we're fairly treated and have the advancement opportunities we want? Most profoundly, does our work feels as meaningful as we'd like it to?
Insight Center Collection
Reimagining Work
Beyond a return to "normal."
For those answering no to any of these questions, and looking for more purpose-driven work, my research can help. I've gone deep inside dozens of companies, interviewing more than 200 leaders to understand how they bring purpose alive for their employees and other stakeholders in extraordinary ways. My primary aim was to unearth best practices for what I call "deep purpose" organizations, but I also unearthed some strategies that individuals can use to find more meaning in their careers and lives. Studies show that this can lead to greater fulfillment and even longer lives, so why not give it a try?
So, what should you do?
First, know thyself. Almost to a person, the leaders and employees at deep purpose companies whom I've met all harbored a burning ambition — an intention they pursued with almost existential fervor. They knew what they'd been put on this planet to do, and that clarity drove them, shaped the choices they made, and inspired others to embrace their own purposes.
And this isn't just a C-level pursuit. When the professional services firm KPMG rolled out its 10,000 Stories Challenge program, inviting employees to make posters highlighting the purpose they found in their jobs, the contributions were inspiring. One employee who helps banks fight money laundering wrote, "I combat terrorism." Another who helped small farmers secure financing used the phrase "I help farms grow."
What's your personal purpose? Take some time away from the rush of daily life and think about what matters to you and what you're trying to accomplish. What is your ultimate reason for being? Recognizing that your time on this planet is limited, what do you really hope to achieve?
Second, evaluate whether you truly need purpose on the job. We seek meaning and fulfillment in different professional and personal contexts. For instance, someone who defines their personal purpose as "helping others to learn and grow" might do that outside of work in their role as a parent, mentor, or coach (life purpose). They might pursue it indirectly by working in a non-education role for a learning-focused company (organizational purpose) or in non-teaching but still educational roles (career purpose) or directly as a teacher or professor.
If you're making good on your life purpose outside work, you might be able to tolerate a job, career, or employer that is light on purpose but affords other benefits. In other words, it's okay to have a day job. It is however becoming clear that fewer people are willing to go this route and more of us are seeking coherence across different facets of our lives.
Third, if you find you do need or want purpose at work, try "job-crafting." Shape your role to become more purposeful by adjusting the tasks you take on, which colleagues, customers, or other stakeholders you interact with, and your own mental framing of what you're doing. Delegate the work that doesn't feel as meaningful to you but might to others, raise your hand for new projects that connect with your goals, and reach out to like-minded and uplifting teammates.
Fourth, evaluate your boss. Do they help you realize it by allowing you express your individuality and giving you work that feels important to you? A notable example is Pete Carroll, coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Although many professional football coaches take a tough-love, drill sergeant approach, Carroll focuses on developing deep, personal relationships with his players so he can draw out their individual philosophies and reasons for being.
As Carroll sees it, this is the way individuals reach their highest potential and bond to the team's purpose. "If someone feels you're recognizing who they are and what they're all about," he says, "you've opened up the connection to introduce them to the collective purpose."
These bosses are out there — you just have to look for them.
Fifth, take a closer look at your employer. As my research found, some companies really do succeed in not merely instituting strong organizational purposes but in helping their employees connect to it in their own ways.
For example, the Boston-based women's technology firm Ovia Health has adopted as one of its core values "Be yourself, be candid, be kind," and it comes to life in many ways: online forums where employees can discuss personal hobbies, an emphasis on diversity and inclusion throughout the firm, and an approach to decision-making that actively incorporates employee opinions.
If your company doesn't help you cue into your personal purpose, you might want to keep an eye out for firms that do. At Microsoft, the approach is similar. As chief people officer Kathleen Hogan told me, "You won't fully work for Microsoft until you make Microsoft work for you."
If your organization doesn't help you cue into your personal purpose, you might want to leave for one that does. Sometimes a change of scenery does work wonders. It did for Jim. A year after quitting his old job, he took a new one in a company oriented around sustainability and responsible business, which better aligns with his own, personal purpose. He earns much less than before but says he's more energized about and proud of his work. "I feel much more whole," he says. Contrary to some pundits who have described the great resignation as the real upgrade in which people simply want to get paid more, in this instance it was more of a great rethink.
As I learned from talking to people in all the companies I studied, it is possible to find deep purpose at work. But recognize, as well, that there are no shortcuts. You must step back and reflect carefully on yourself and your situation and do what you need to feel and fulfilled.

Q: Retrieving current value of angular select div I need to get the current chosen value of select label, becuase the next label data depends on this selected above day.
My html for the label looks like this:
<div class="form-group">
          <label for ="visitData">Choose day for the visit : </label>
          <select  class="form-control" id="visitData" (change) = "updateVisitDate($event)" >
            <option   id="visitData" *ngFor="let type of myDate" value="{{type.date}}">{{type.date}}</option>
            </select>
        </div>

The function in TypeScript file:
  updateVisitDate(event:any){
    event.preventDefault()
    let target = event.target;
    this.visitData = target.querySelector('#visitData').value;
    console.log("Found date : "+ this.visitData);
    this.http.get(`http://localhost:9000/freeHours/getDay`,{params : {date:this.visitData}}).subscribe(data=>this.periods = data);
  }

Whenever i change the day from the select field i get in the log the same day(first option). Any suggestions?

A: Use property binding,
[value]="type.date" and to get value , use event.target.value in your function.
i.e this.visitData = event.target.value;
Here is a working demo for your problem

Возвращение Беортнота, сына Беортхельма (, варианты перевода — Возвращение Бьортнота, сына Бьортхельма, Возвращение Беорхтнота, сына Беорхтхельма) — историческая пьеса Дж. Р. Р. Толкина, написанная аллитерационным стихом и опубликованная в 1953 году. Действие происходит в конце X века в Англии, вскоре после поражения англосаксонского войска от викингов в битве при Мэлдоне. Сюжет пьесы повествует о Тортхельме и Тидвальде — английских слугах, которые пришли на поле битвы с целью найти тело своего господина .

«Возвращение Беортнота, сына Беортхельма» создано в качестве продолжения древнеанглийской поэмы «». Пьесу дополняют предисловие, в котором Толкин объясняет её историческую основу, и эссе об англосаксонском слове ofermod, содержащемся в тексте «Битвы при Мэлдоне» для обозначения характера Беортнота и точный смысл которого не определён.

Сюжет

События пьесы, которая написана «современным аналогом древнеанглийского аллитерационного стиха», происходят ночью 10 августа 991 года около города Мэлдон в Эссексе. Двоим слугам, Тортхельму и Тидвальду, монахами аббатства Эли, поручено найти тело Беортнота, элдормена Эссекса, который возглавлял англичан на поле боя и там погиб. Характеры персонажей сильно различаются. «Юный романтик» Тортхельм («Тотта») — сын менестреля, любящий древние героические песни, в то время как «практичный старый крестьянин» Тидвальд («Тида») больше полагается на здравый смысл.

Прежде чем найти Беортнота, слуги осматривают поле битвы и опознают тела многих своих соотечественников. Возвращаясь к своей телеге, они замечают мародёров. Думая, что имеет дело с викингами, Тортхельм убивает одного из них мечом Беортнота; Тидвальд реагирует на этот поступок неодобрительно и останавливает Тортхельма от продолжения подобных действий. По пути он объясняет своему спутнику причины поражения англичан: Беортнот из-за своей гордости позволил более многочисленным захватчикам беспрепятственно пересечь реку  прежде, чем началась битва, отказавшись тем самым от преимущества местности.

Телега, которой управляет Тидвальд, направляется в Эли. Тортхельм, заснувший рядом с телом Беортнота, произносит во сне слова, сказанные английским воином Беортвольдом в заключительной части «Битвы при Мэлдоне»:

{| width="100%"
| width="33%" |
Воля, будь строже, знамя, рей выше,
Сердце, мужайся — пусть силы сякнут.
| width="33%" |

| width="33%" |
<poem>{{lang|ang|Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre,mod sceal þe mare þe ure mægen lytlað. ()}}</poem>
|}

Пьеса заканчивается пением монахов из аббатства Эли, которые читают погребальную молитву Dirige. Неизвестный голос говорит рифмованным стихом, который встречается единственный раз во всём тексте, что, по мнению автора, «как бы предвещает близкий конец героического аллитеративного песенного лада». Эти строки являются перефразированной цитатой стихов из хроники XII века «», которые приписываются королю Кнуду Великому:

 История создания
Работу над продолжением поэмы «Битва при Мэлдоне» Толкин начал в первой половине 1930-х годов. Существует два черновика диалога между персонажами «Пуддой» (Тортхельм) и «Тиббой» (Тидвальд), написанных рифмованным стихом в период с 1930 по 1933 годы. Один из этих фрагментов написан на обороте первой рукописи стихотворения «Странствие». Согласно биографу Толкина , редактирование пьесы завершилось к 1945 году. В Бодлианской библиотеке Оксфордского университета хранятся различные рукописные черновики произведения и окончательный машинописный текст, который был отправлен издателю в феврале или марте 1953 года.

Пьеса впервые была опубликована в октябре 1953 года в 6-м номере научного журнала Essays and Studies by Members of the English Association. Объясняя намерение включить художественное произведение в научное издание, автор отметил:
Эта пьеса, по объёму несколько превышающая давший толчок к её созданию отрывок из древнеанглийской поэмы, задумана была как пьеса в стихах и судить её следует именно как стихи. Но для того, чтобы оправдать своё место в «Очерках и Исследованиях», она, как я предполагаю, должна по крайней мере подразумевать какое-то суждение о форме и содержании древнеанглийской поэмы (а также о её критиках). С этой точки зрения данная пьеса представляет собой, можно сказать, развёрнутый комментарий на строки 89 и 90 оригинала …

«Возвращение Беортнота» переиздавалось в различных сборниках произведений Толкина, в том числе в «The Tolkien Reader» (1966), «Poems and Stories» (1980) и «Tree and Leaf» (2001). К 1000-летней годовщине битвы при Мэлдоне в 1991 году было опубликовано отдельное издание пьесы ограниченным тиражом в 300 экземпляров. В выпуске журнала «» от 2007 года приведены фрагменты черновиков ранних версий произведения.

«Возвращение Беортнота, сына Беортхельма» переведено на нидерландский, испанский, итальянский, русский, французский, чешский, шведский и японский языки. На русском языке книга впервые вышла в 1993 году в сборнике «Сказки», в переводе Аркадия Застырца. Впоследствии были изданы переводы Марии Каменкович и Владимира Тихомирова.

 Анализ произведения

 Ofermod — «неукротимая гордость»
В эссе-комментарии «Ofermod» Толкин утверждает, что анализ «Битвы при Мэлдоне» часто сводится к строкам 312—313 (цитируются во сне Тортхельмом), в то время как строки 89—90 одинаково важны для понимания поэмы:

По мнению Толкина, эта фраза отражает настоящее чувство поэта по отношению к поступку Беортнота, который им не одобряется. Поэт осуждает ofermod Беортнота — «неукротимую гордость», что заставила его уступить требованию викингов сражаться в честном бою. Толкин отмечает, что единственное другое упоминание слова ofermod в древнеанглийской литературе (в поэме «») относится к Люциферу. Под влиянием героической англосаксонской традиции Беортнот проявляет неуместное рыцарство и совершает двойную ошибку. С одной стороны, он пренебрегает своим долгом, который состоит исключительно в необходимости остановить захватчиков. С другой стороны, жертвует жизнью своих людей, на что он не имеет права: «повелитель может быть прославлен деяниями своих рыцарей, но он не должен использовать их преданность в своих интересах или подвергать их опасности только ради собственного прославления». Толкин проводит параллели с представлениями о героизме и ответственности повелителя по отношению к своим подчинённым в поэмах «Беовульф» (критикуя решение Беовульфа встретиться с драконом один на один, вследствие чего народ лишается своего правителя) и «Сэр Гавейн и Зелёный Рыцарь». Он упоминает строки 3077—3078 из «Беовульфа» в качестве подходящего эпиграфа к «Битве при Мэлдоне»: Oft sceall eorl monig anes willan wraec adreogan («По воле одного человека многие должны претерпеть скорбь»).

Литературоведы в целом сходятся на том, что в «Возвращении Беортнота» Толкин осуждает северный героический идеал. Томас Хонеггер, изучив черновики произведения, отмечает, что автор был особо заинтересован в том, чтобы показать гордость Беортнота в негативном свете. Джордж Кларк также указывает, что интерпретация «Битвы при Мэлдоне», предложенная Толкином, «отчитывает» Беортнота за его гордость и в целом осуждает англосаксонские героические идеалы стремления к славе и материальному богатству. Джейн Ченс предлагает рассматривать «Возвращение Беортнота, сына Беортхельма» вместе с «Балладой об Аотру и Итрун» (1945), «Фермером Джайлсом из Хэма» (1949) и стихотворением «Имрам» (1955) как серию произведений, в которых Толкин обращает внимание на недостатки средневековых германских героических ценностей. Лорд Аотру из «Баллады об Аотру и Итрун» и король Амброзий Аурелиан из «Фермера Джайлса» проявляют гордость, подобную ofermod'' Беортнота.

Исследователь средневековой литературы Мэри Боумен утверждает, что Толкин в своём произведении «реабилитирует» северный героический дух. Она вспоминает его собственную метафору о северном героическом духе как о «сплаве», состоящем из сочетания самоотверженной храбрости на благо других («золото») и эгоистичного, опрометчивого преследования богатства и славы (основной компонент сплава). По мнению Боумен, Толкин считал необходимым «очистить» героический кодекс, отделив от него эгоистичный, разрушительный элемент «неукротимой» и чрезмерной гордости, сохраняя при этом «золото» храбрости.

Исследователи также отметили влияние «Возвращения Беортнота» на легендариум Толкина. По мнению Джорджа Кларка, идеи Толкина о северном героизме проявляются во «Властелине Колец» в образе Сэмуайза Гэмджи с его непоколебимой, самоотверженной преданностью Фродо: Сэм является примером «истинного героя», своего рода «анти-Беортнота». Кроме того, Мэри Боумен считает, что Сэм и Бильбо обладают «очищенным» видом героизма, который Толкин изобразил в «Возвращении Беортнота». Учёные находят и другие параллели с «Властелином Колец»: Александр Брюс, например, полагает, что Гэндальф, преграждающий Балрогу путь на мосту в Мории, избегает повторения тактической ошибки Беортнота, освободившего плацдарм для врага, а Линн Форест-Хилл отмечает сходство Беортнота с Боромиром.

Точка зрения Толкина расходится с общепринятой на то время интерпретацией поэмы, согласно которой строки 312—313 свидетельствуют о том, что героизм Беортнота прославляется, а не осуждается автором. Его мнение приняли многие исследователи «Битвы при Мэлдоне» и «Беовульфа», однако некоторыми учёными оно было подвергнуто сомнению: Томас Шиппи называет его «тенденциозным и личным», основанным на противоречиях между героическим духом язычества и христианскими ценностями, которых придерживался Толкин.  высказывает подобное мнение: он считает интерпретацию Толкина несостоятельной, но в то же время полагает, что она представляет собой интересное субъективное прочтение поэмы. По мнению Драута, главная заслуга «Возвращения Беортнота» состоит в том, что пьеса «побуждает исследователей рассмотреть подробности этой [англосаксонской] культуры, её напряженность и противоречия гораздо более серьёзно».

Тортхельм и Тидвальд
Противоречия между языческими традициями и христианскими ценностями отображены в мировоззрении главных персонажей. Тортхельм ( — «яркий шлем») подвержен влиянию той же англосаксонской героической традиции, которая заставила Беортнота отказаться от тактических преимуществ во время сражения. В образе персонажа автор представляет древнеанглийскую поэзию, в том числе те её темы, которые подтолкнули полководца к губительному шагу — он пропустил вражескую армию, так как «думал, песни будут петь менестрели про его благородство». Толкин включил в пьесу слова воина Беортвольда из оригинальной поэмы, которые тот произносит на поле боя («Воля, будь строже, знамя, рей выше, сердце, мужайся — пусть силы сякнут»), однако приводит их в другом контексте: он помещает их в сновидение Тортхельма, добавляя стихи своего авторства, из-за чего строки поэмы приобретают «языческий или даже манихейский» характер:

Имя «Тидвальд», в свою очередь, в соответствии с прагматичным характером персонажа означает «хранитель времени»: он осознаёт, что языческая эпоха Англии завершена. Тидвальд частично воплощает христианские качества, проявляя милосердие и жалость по отношению к преступникам. Тем не менее, ему недостаёт надежды, чтобы быть подлинно христианским героем: о будущем он говорит, что «труд и потери ждут нас, битвы и будни, борьба и скорби, пока не прейдёт лицо мира».

Американский литературовед  замечает другую особенность противопоставления Тортхельма и Тидвальда. По его мнению, последний постоянно опровергает попытки первого идеализировать сражение, высказывая тем самым мнение о войне самого Толкина, участника боевых действий во время Первой мировой войны.

Адаптации
Пьеса не была предназначена для постановки на сцене. В первой половине 1954 года Толкин отправил письмо продюсеру Перси Ховарду Ньюби, предложив ему адаптировать «Возвращение Беортнота» в радиопостановке, трансляция которой могла быть организована Би-би-си в связи с годовщиной сражения при Мэлдоне в июле. В результате на основе произведения  была выполнена постановка, которая транслировалась по третьей программе Би-би-си 3 декабря 1954 года и 17 июня 1955 года. Толкин подверг критике эту адаптацию за некомпетентность актёров, которые «совершенно не обращали внимания на аллитерационный стих и декламировали его так, будто это был обычный пятистопный ямб».

Существует аудиозапись «Возвращения Беортнота», сделанная Толкином самостоятельно — в ней он озвучил всех персонажей, добавив при этом звуковые эффекты. Эта запись, дополненная чтением введения к пьесе и эссе «Ofermod» Кристофером Толкином, была издана в 1992 году в формате аудиокассеты издательством Harper Collins.

It's a great plumy color with lovely legs. The nose is pleasant with a candied cherry smell. And then it goes downhill from there. There isn't much flavor, and it has an odd tanginess. The finish is thankfully brief. I didn't enjoy tasting this without food. But with food, the wine was better. I paired this with a couple of fantastic carne asada tacos from Rico's Taco Shop in Encinitas, California.
