We were SUPER EXCITED to introduce our new GSF.Connect platform at an exciting launch event held at The Precinct in Brisbane last week, designed to connect young women from both metropolitan and regional areas with inspirational women from around the world.
A variety of students, parents and educators gathered at the Precinct in Fortitude Valley to take part in the live event, while regional schools St Ursula's College Yeppoon, Rockhampton Girls Grammar and Blackheath and Thornburgh College seized the opportunity to host their own GSF.Connect night (pizza included!), with the event being live streamed to their schools.
The audiences tuned in to be inspired and encouraged by panellists Kanchana Bishop – Chemical Engineer & CEO, Sally Prosser – former Journalist and Voice Coach, and Keely Johnson – founder of the Golden Octopus Foundation. These women offered invaluable life and career guidance, sharing their wisdom and encouraging the girls to ignite their flames.
FUEL Founder Tanya Messmann hosted the night, introducing all three of the extraordinary women to the audiences. Tanya asked each panel member a few questions of her own, before passing the questions over to the audiences; both live and online.
Though highly successful in their careers, all the panellists on the night had sat where many young women sit today and had faced the same hopes, dreams and fears as they do. They spoke of how to forge their way through challenges and create outcomes that range from great success to crippling failures and to teach young women, that while success may not come easily it is achievable.
Life is less like a path and more like a Harry Potter maze where the trees grow over in front of you. – Sally Prosser.
There were discussions on succeeding as an entrepreneur and dealing with bullying, as spoken about by Townsville girl Keely Johnsen and dealing with setbacks and failures as discussed by both Sally Prosser and Kanchana Bishop.
Both the live and online audience members brought energy and excitement to the event and the girls put forward many intelligent and thoughtful questions. It was remarkable to see the GSF.Connect platform in action, seamlessly connecting regional and metropolitan teen girls across Queensland.
Q1) How do you get a Charity up and running?
Q2) Do I have to have everything figured out right now?
Q3) What is the biggest challenge you (Kanchana) face as a woman in Science?
Q4) Should I focus on Grades or Passion?
Q5) How do girls in small towns succeed without having to move to a city?
Q6) Should I have a Plan B (back-up Plan)?
Q7) Does going to a school with boys help you be more competitive in the workplace?
Q8) How do you empower girls to stand up for Gender Equality?
Q9) What would your #1 piece of advice be?

MCU Planning Series of R-rated Films
Written By Mikey Sutton • Editor-in-Chief • Owner
Mickey Mouse is about to drop an F-bomb.
Well, not exactly. But Marvel Studios is planning on releasing Deadpool 3 with an R rating under 20th Century Studios, which they now own. Furthermore, discussions are ongoing on how to proceed from there. Deadpool won't simply be an anomaly, an adult franchise in the PG-13 Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There is a billion-dollar market for R-rated superhero fare, which Warner Bros. just proved with Joker. With 20th Century Studios, Kevin Feige is allowed to release material that would be more graphically violent, dark, and edgy. Discussions are ongoing about whether Blade should take this route.
Marvel Comics has a rich catalog of horror properties that would be more effectively presented with R-rated theatrical movies so the potential goes beyond the vulgar wit of Deadpool.
Although the Marvel TV series on Netflix were similarly mature in content – The Punisher was as bloody as it gets – this would mark a significant change in the MCU. After all, these are going to have the Marvel Studios logo.
As I scooped before, Feige wants to introduce the Midnight Sons in the Blade franchise, and those members could spin off in their own films, such as Ghost Rider and the team itself. According to insiders, Marvel Studios is interested in a movie where the Midnight Sons fight Mephisto, leading to an nightmarish Endgame with Marvel Zombies involved.
Dark days are coming.
Thank you to SuperheroBuzz for running this scoop for us.

Brooklee "honoured" to be at World Championship
Brooklee Han backed up an excellent short program with a stellar free program in her first World Figure Skating Championships yesterday in London, Canada, placing 20th in the final section with a personal best score of 91.26 points.
An overall 141.88 total placed Brooklee in 21st position, which was one place off an automatic entry in the Ladies event for Australia at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games. Australia has been represented in this event at every games since Nagano in 1998.
Skating her free program to a piano version of Ava Maria, the 17-year-old Connecticut-based high school senior successfully landed four triple jumps in a confident performance that highlighted her ease of movement and high-level spinning technique.
Smashing her overall PB score by almost seven points, Brooklee announced her arrival on the world scene, and is excited to be in the senior ranks.
"I'm really pleased with the programs," Brooklee said from London, Ontario after the free skate. "It was an honour to compete here. Making the free program was great."
2010 Olympic Champion Yuna Kim, who had not competed at world level since her Vancouver win, demolished the field, skating a passionate "Les Miserables" free program that included two glorious triple/triple jump combinations and four other triples with a seeming ease. The 'Queen of Cool' was in a class of her own and amassed a total score of 218.31, almost 20 points ahead of Italy's Carolina Kostner on 197.89, who also delivered an emotionally powerful performance to Ravel's Bolero, but which was marred but a fall in the final seconds. Third place went to Japan's Mao Asada with 196.47.
After her win, Yuna Kim told the audience that she was back because she wanted to secure more places for Korea in Sochi so that other young Korean girls could experience an Olympic Games. USA and Japan also secured three spots for their countries in the Ladies event at Sochi.
Debut success for Brooklee
A career-high performance in the short program overnight in London, Ontario has earned a finals place for 17-year-old Brooklee Han at her first World Figure Skating Championships.
Scoring a personal best 50.62, Brooklee skated to 20th place with a joyful program to 'Freedom', landing a triple toe/double toe-loop combination, triple loop and double axel along with her trademark spins. The Connecticut-based teenager, who skates for the Ice House club in Melbourne, has overcome injuries sustained last year, coming into form at the height of the international season.
Following a strong performance at the Four Continents Championships in February where she recorded PB's for her short and free programs, Brooklee followed up with a solid 16th place at the Junior World Championships a few weeks ago in the lead up to this week's World Championship.
Korean mega star, the 'Queen of Cool' - Yuna Kim made her emphatic return to world competition, skating early in the draw and throwing down the gauntlet to the rest of the field with a sublime, uber-confident skate that included a fast-moving triple lutz/triple toe-loop combination. The 2010 Olympic Champion was not marked overly high for the presentation side of her performance and was punished with a -2 for her required triple jump but it wasn't enough to keep Kim easily off the top of the leaderboard with 69.97 points. Currently in second is European Champion Carolina Kostner from Italy with 66.86, with Kanako Murakami from Japan close behind in 3rd on 66.86.
Russian hopes for medal sweep in the Ladies event at the 2014 Sochi Olympics were dashed after Adelina Sotnikova, Alena Leonova and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva crashed out of the top six with each taking falls or missing required elements.
The finals will be skated tomorrow.

Disappointment for Aussie ice dancers has its benefits
As the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships get underway in London, Ontario in Canada, Australian Ice Dance champions, Danielle O'Brien and Greg Merriman can only watch on from their training base in Detroit, just a 90-minute drive away.
The ice dance team have made rapid progress up the world and season's rankings with an international bronze medal, two fourth places and 8th in the Four Continents Championship, but have been held out of the 2013 World Championships after failing to record a minimum technical score in the Short Dance.
A minimum technical score for World Championship entry was introduced mid last year to reduce the number of competitors in response to an ISU Congress decision to eliminate preliminary qualifying rounds but allowed scores achieved in international competition from 2011.
With Winter Olympic quota places for Sochi 2014 on the line at this year's World Championships, the stakes are high for the lower ranked teams in their effort to secure an entry for their countries.
19 Olympic ice dance places will be decided in London, Ontario this week, but the only avenue to Sochi for O'Brien and Merriman now will be the Olympic Qualification competition in Germany in September for one of the remaining five spots.
For O'Brien and Merriman it's been a tough pill to swallow having placed ahead of nine qualified dance teams this season, some up to four times, but now all they can do is watch.
Speaking from Detroit, Danielle O'Brien said they had already moved on.
"Although we are disappointed and now Worlds is out of reach, we have moved on. We are happy to have the head start on next season and have made pretty good progress so far," Danielle said.
"We have broken down the Finnstep Short Dance for the next season and doing a lot of exercises in order to have every edge in the dance correct before they [the ISU] even release the key points."
"I must say it's going pretty well and I'm surprised it's moving so quickly. We can already skate a fairly good, full pattern," Danielle said.
"Our goals have been readjusted without worlds in the equation and will skate our own 'mini-worlds' here in Detroit, aiming to skate a clean Finnstep to the music. We've been close to achieving that before Worlds even starts."
The determined Olympic Winter Institute Of Australia scholarship holders moved to Detroit 18 months ago in their quest to represent Australia at the Olympics and see this setback as a flying start on the coming season.
"We have also been finalising music and working on new lift ideas, new twizzles, a reinvented spin and step sequence options so that we can be prepared for when choreography begins," she said.
"All in all - it's going well. We are definitely treating 'no worlds' as a head start on all the teams who will be four weeks behind us in preparation for Oberstdorf [Olympic Qualifying event]."
Australia's lone entrant at the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships is 17-year-old Brooklee Han, who recently placed a solid 15th place at the Junior World Championships.

Namibia, Ghana to strengthen cooperation further – 3rd session of the Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation commences
Posted by The Staff Reporter | Feb 25, 2019 | Extra
Namibia and Ghana will strengthen bilateral cooperation in different areas of mutual interest at the 3rd session of the Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation (JPCC) this week.
At the session of the JPCC, the two sides are expected to review, expand and strengthen bilateral cooperation in many areas of mutual interest such as Industrialization, trade and investment, mining, energy, agriculture, fisheries, environment and tourism, aviation, ports and harbors, as well on merchant shipping and transport, the ministry said in a statement.
Ghana will be represented by about 31 delegates, composed of representatives from various sectors, and legal experts, while the Namibian side is expected to be led by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister, accompanied by other senior government officials from various line ministries.
The Ministry of International Relaions and Cooperation said on trade and investment, the two sides are expected to further explore how to accelerate trade between each other.
Similarly, Ghana will also look to expedite exporting its products to the Namibian market, he added.
The 3rd Session of the Namibia-Ghana JPCC is a follow-up to a successful 2nd Session which was held in Ghana in November 2016.

Last November Kepler Ten released the debut single, "Time and Tide", from their upcoming album Delta V that has finally hit the streets. As evidenced on "Time and Tide," Kepler Ten's music is strongly influenced by Rush. And therein lies the problem. The compositions of the songs and the instrumentals are great, but the Rush-inspired vocal melodies do not work. I find it difficult connecting with vocal melodies that try too hard to be "progressive." The songs on Delta V are definitely not what you would find yourself singing in the shower. The disc opens with "Ultraviolet," a slow cathedral organ crescendo that accelerates into a hard rock song as Kepler Ten takes you on a journey into deep space. "Time and Tide" is next, followed by the Rush-influenced tune "The Stone." They shifts gears with the next song "Swallowtail," a light acoustic song with a butterfly theme that vastly improves with the addition of Mellotron and electric guitar to end the song. "The Shallows" has somewhat of a Peter Gabriel Security influence in how they combined the rhythm and music. "In the Sere and Yellow" is another Rush-inspired song that only improves near the end with the Moog and electric guitar solos. And the disc closes with the eleven minute "Red Skies Rise." Offsetting the Rush influence on this song are street noises, air-to-ground radio transmissions, radio, and sci fi clips integrated into the music along with Mellotron and synths. There is also a shift to an SOS rhythm in the later half of the song. So in a nutshell, if you are a Rush fan, Delta V is for you. Otherwise, if you can get past the melodies, you will find enjoyment in the instrumental sections.

The Dix Mountain Wilderness Area is the name previously given to an area of New York's Forest Preserve in the Adirondack Park , and is located in the towns of Elizabethtown, Keene and North Hudson, Essex County. It is roughly bounded on the north by NY 73, on the east by the Adirondack Northway (Interstate 87), on the south by Blue Ridge Road and on the west by Elk Lake Club and Ausable Club lands.

In 2018 the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area was merged with the High Peaks Wilderness Area after New York State acquired several parcels of land connecting the two wilderness areas.

Geography

The terrain is rough, rocky and mountainous, with several of the mountain tops exceeding . The area contains 12 small ponds with a total surface area of about . Vertical cliffs of considerable height are common, particularly in the northern and eastern parts.

Some of the mountains, such as Dix, South Dix and Macomb, have had small landslides in recent years which occur mostly on the near vertical north slopes. This has left a series of prominent, bare rock scars on the upper slopes.

There are four trailless peaks in the area — South Dix, East Dix, Hough and McComb — that are over 4,000 feet in elevation.  Many approach these mountains from a popular, unmaintained trail off NY 73 which provides access to a slide scramble up East Dix.  From there, all the major peaks are connected by herd paths.

Forest

Some of the most severe and extensive forest fires of the Adirondacks occurred in this area during a prolonged drought period in 1903. As a result, the tops and upper slopes of the mountains not only lost their forest cover but the humus was also consumed and the mineral soil eroded down to bare rock.

The present forest cover consists chiefly of pole-size yellow birch, aspen and stunted balsam at the higher elevations with mixed hardwoods and softwoods on the better soils at lower elevations.

Recreation

The area contains  of maintained foot trails, 2 lean-tos.  The area also has a significant number of popular but unmaintained trails; in fact, four high peaks within the area are only accessible by unmaintained trails.  The area also includes Chapel Pond, a high mountain lake surrounded by cliffs that is a popular destination for rock climbing and ice climbing.

History

The Adirondack Trail Improvement Society, with headquarters at St. Huberts, maintains a system of foot trails in the northern and northwestern part of the area, with approval of the DEC. Their trails extend to such mountain tops as Round Top Mountain, Noonmark, Bear Den, Dial, Nippletop, Colvin, Blake and Pinnacle. The steep, rugged terrain, characteristic of nearly the whole area, has been responsible for the region's retaining a wilderness atmosphere. This, together with other accompanying features, lends itself well to the classification into which it has been placed.

The state, in 1978 and 1980, purchased in fee  from the Adirondack Mountain Reserve.  Approximately  became part of the Dix Mountain Wilderness as a result, including the following summits: Noonmark, Bear Den, Dial, Colvin, and Pinnacle. The state was given a conservation easement on the remaining Adirondack Mountain Reserve lands generally below  in elevation, limiting the future development potential of these lands while permitting the public to cross lands still held in fee by the Club, on foot, to reach the peaks.

In 2013, New York State acquired a 1,450-acre parcel on the western boundary of the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area known as the Casey Brook Tract. In 2016, the 20,700-acre Boreas Ponds Tract was also acquired by the state, thereby creating a connection of state-owned land between the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area and the nearby High Peaks Wilderness Area. In 2018, the Adirondack Park Agency recommended, and Governor Andrew Cuomo approved, the merging of the Dix Mountain Wilderness Area into the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

Q: How do i attach a method to json object I have written javascript that load's bootstrap's tab dynamically when user clicks on the tab. Basically when user clicks on the tab i get the URL which preconfigured on tab as data attribute and then load PartialView from server using AJAX.
This javascript is generic and im using it on multiple web pages and its been working fine.
Now i need to get some data dynamically in click event handler before i make AJAX request.
Here is code
Index.cshtml

A

B

C

Common Javascript
var tabStrip = (function () {
var module = {};

 module.configureTabs = function (options) {

    $(".nav-tabs > li > a").click(function (e) {

        // I want to call a method here      ???????
        // something like options.getData(); ???????
        // Once i get data I would append this data to url

        var $tab = $(this);
        var url = $tab.data("url");
        var href = $tab.attr("href");
        $(href).load(url, function (result) {
            // raise onLoad event
            if (options != undefined && options.onLoad != undefined) {
                options.onLoad($tab);
            }
        });

        // raise click event
        if (options != undefined && options.onClick != undefined) {
            options.onClick($(this));
        }
    });
}

return module;

})();

This is how im calling configureTabs from Index.cshtml
$(function () {
    tabStrip.configureTabs({
       onLoad: function(e){
         // do something here
       }

       // how do i attach a method here that returns some data. ????
       // tabStrip.configureTabs function needs invoke this method inside click event handler ???

    });
})

How do i attach a method to options parameter. I should be able to call this method from click event handler

10.9.14 Esther Andrews - North Wales Ignite - £500 Donation
North Wales Ignite is a Christian Music Event held in Prestatyn High School, North Wales. The event was held for the first time in September 2013 and deemed "one of the most successful Christian music events" that the Head Teacher of Prestatyn High School had ever attended. Individual year group assemblies were taken on the morning of the event by a Christian Rapper called Chip Kendall. As he performed some of his music and led games with the pupils, Chip invited them to think about social and spiritual issues. In the sixth form assembly, with pupils aged 16-18, he tackled science and politics from a Christian perspective and conducted a lively Q&A session.
North Wales Ignite aims to plant seeds of faith in the minds of young people, as well as instigating further exploration of wider social issues. In addition, the young people of Prestatyn's community play a vital and indispensable part in organising North Wales Ignite. They are given the opportunity to use their varied talents in many different areas: marketing, fundraising, ticket sales, lighting, sound and musical performances. North Wales Ignite encourages their generous participation and they are given real responsibilities in key organisational areas. The Charlotte Hartey Foundation are pleased to help and support this event.
25.06.14 Paul Crosby of the Derwen College receives a cheque for £1,500
Derwen College is a residential specialist college providing further education for more than 230 young people with learning difficulties and disabilities from homes across the UK,.
The College is committed to minimise the disadvantages for young people for whom mainstream education is not an option. The College offers an extended curriculum providing students with opportunity to develop vocational, independence, personal and social skills - training designed to support students in their transition towards independence.
The Derwen College's specialism is to teach through the medium of vocational programmes and social enterprises that promote employability through direct experiences in work, rather than merely training for work in the classroom. All students are taught and work in vocational departments by providing services to more than 1,000 members of the local community, who visit the college every week, enabling all students to have opportunities to learn skills for the world beyond college. The whole learning experience is planned to prepare students to live as independently as possible in the wider community, minimising the risk of future poverty and being labelled 'disadvantaged' by society.
The College has won a competition for a 50% grant from the Education Funding Agency for Capital Projects towards the cost of developing an effective learning environment with the Garden Centre shop. The project also includes a new glasshouse which will enable students to work in a better environment. It will allow them to develop their horticultural skills in a more relevant setting as well as developing their social skills through the opportunity to engage with customers as they view the garden centre products. However, the grant is conditional on the College raising the remainder of the funding required from either college funds or through external support.
We are therefore very pleased to support this project and wish the College well in their continued fund raising.
23.04.14 The Charlotte Hartey Foundation sponsor Whittington Cricket and Bowling Club £700.00
Whittington Cricket and Bowling Club was formed in 1995 and has become a successful adult bowling section. Mike Brunt (Club Secretary) said that he and the committee now wish to encourage junior members to partake in the sport. Junior coaching sessions for 8 years upwards are now being organised for this coming season starting in May.
Mike Brunt wrote to the Foundation to ask if we could help as they required some new lightweight bowls for the introduction of junior coaching sessions.
Karl Hartey of The Charlotte Hartey Foundation said that the Foundation was more than happy to help and wished the bowling club every success in their new venture.
16.04.14 Ben Mayho of The Schools Christian Worker recieves a cheque of £650
The Schools Christian Worker Project is a registered charity set up in 1998 to provide assistance to schools in all activities and matters relating to the Christian faith. It is an organisation that is affiliated to Scripture
Union UK and enjoys the support of churches in the Oswestry and Ellesmere District.
The charity performs a variety of important roles in the local schools including taking many assemblies, helping schools to fulfil the requirement for a daily act of collective worship. The assemblies are fun and highly interactive and show how the Christian message is relevant to the world we live in today. They always work to the needs of the schools, either in fulfilling the SIAS curriculum or in covering topics that are requested by the schools themselves.
The charity run courses in both primary and secondary schools encouraging the students to consider their attitudes, values and character. These are the 'L!fe' course for primary age children and 'ibreakout' for secondary students. Both course have been highly popular with both staff and students alike.
The donation given by the Charlotte Hartey Foundation is to enable the charity to invest into a website for the charity along with a basic stationary package of letterheads, compliment slips and business cards.
07.03.14 The Charlotte Hartey Foundation Help The Project Group Oswestry by donating £2,000
The Charlotte Hartey Foundation happily donated £2000 towards a trip to Uganda in collaboration with Ground Level Foundational Trust for Lydia Rodden, Georgie Davies Hunter and Lucy Ritcher.
Ground Level Foundational Trust set up a school in Kumi, Uganda called Kanyum School. This Easter Lydia, Georgie and Lucy will be visiting with the Trust to complete maintenance on the school buildings as well spending time helping with children in the classroom and visiting a local medical centre.
The Foundation is also funding two playgrounds and hosting community days to help bring the community together.
29.01.14 Rachel Gardner receives a cheque of £500.00 to help with voluntary work in Johannesburg
The Charlotte Hartey Foundation presents a cheque for £500.00 to help fund Rachel Gardner, a third year Physiotherapy student studying at Keele University for a voluntary placement in Johannesburg, South Africa, at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.
The placement duration is for four weeks in April and will allow Rachel to learn and engage in different scenarios and situations that that would not normally be presented in the UK. Rachel sees this as a once in a lifetime opportunity where she will get different exposure to different cultures which Rachel says it will most definitely benefit her as an individual and as a physiotherapist.
Rachel says that whilst she is on placement in South Africa, she will be working in the burns and intensive care units, which is of high interest to her, but is not available to study at the University she attends. From the placement Rachel will not only learn new aspects of physiotherapy from new experiences but will also gain valuable skill sets which she can take with her through the rest of her career.
If you can help Rachel with further funding for her trip to South Africa, you can contact her on: 07952 685958 or alternatively you can email Rachel at V6f23@students.keele.ac.uk
16.1.14 Charlotte Hartey Foundation Help The Project Group Oswestry by donating £1,000
We are a Social Business, based in Oswestry making public art commissions and designing craft products for retail. All our designer makers are adults in touch with mental health services.
We have our roots within the NHS and started as part of day care services in 1992. In 2003 The Project Group was established as an independent organisation and in 2006 registered as a Community Interest Company. To this day we have very strong connections with the NHS and referrals come through Community Mental Health Teams, Substance Misuse and Domestic Violence services.
Our work is nationally renowned and in 2011 we received the Queens Award for Voluntary Service.
We provide 2 fully equipped studios for ceramic, glass fusion, mosaic, textiles, screen printing, wood carving, plastics and metal work. Our studio is accessed 2 days a week by 50 plus adults with mental health issues. We are also open one day a week delivering training workshops for new referrals.
We provide workshops for the public and small interest groups (including adults with learning disabilities and other marginalised groups)
We deliver public art commissions for public, private and third sector organisations and have produced a small but growing retail range available to the general public via ecommerce and in house sales.
With the Foundations Help
Your donation of £1000 is contributing to a partnership project with New Century Court in Oswestry. We will work together on a complete 'makeover' of their communal spaces and outside spaces. This could include screen printing curtains, printing wallpaper, making textile hangings, and outside possibly a mosaic path or a bespoke bench.
New Century Court is a branch of The Bromfield Housing Association which caters for young people 16yrs – 25yrs who are in transition. This could be caused by family breakdown, substance misuse or a spell in prison. In this project we will bring together two marginalised groups to develop new skills and design ideas. The space will be transformed and this has benefits both socially and emotionally.
We are matching your grant with money from West Mercia Police Commission who are funding projects that address crime reduction.


Rosie is a beautiful girl, medium size (50-55 cm shoulder height). She has surely had mixed experiences with people and she is a bit shy and cautious when it comes to direct contact. When you are outside her kennel (at the door or in the neighboring kennels), she seems quite confident - comes to the fence, eats treats from the hand. Even when I was in her kennel, she ate from my hand without problems, but unfortunately she was very scared of the phone/camera, so on the video you can see that while being filmed, she is too shy to get closer and take the food.
She is definitely recoverable, she just needs some love and patience to gain trust.
Information about her age is not available right now, we will get back when we find out.
ich hoffe, dass dich deine Menschen finden.

What Being a B Corp Has Meant for Our Brand
Matt Daigle
Published 1 year ago. About a 4 minute read.

Brand Provided
Consumers are demanding more from the companies they buy from, and those who don't adapt to these new standards will be rightfully left behind. B Corps need to set an example by making the triple bottom line more than a requirement for their certification.
Becoming a B Corp was never a decision; it was an inevitability from day one at Rise. B Corps are companies that use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. I'm a firm believer that the best companies are those whose guiding principles cater to profit and people and planet. Consumers' expectations for quality and accountability to the planet will only continue to get higher.
I am one of those consumers, which is why I started Rise in the first place. When my wife and I had our first child, I became obsessed with creating a home that was healthy and comfortable. I became increasingly mindful of what products are made of, how they're sourced, and how their manufacturing impacts the planet. After heading down too many research rabbit holes to count, I learned that I was not alone. I decided to create a resource that would solve my problems and the problems of sustainability-minded homeowners just like me.
Sticking to our values
With March being "B Corp Month," it was a great opportunity to reflect on how becoming a B Corp has impacted Rise in our business. Our people and the planet have always been at the center of what we do, but becoming a B Corp has put our intentions on paper and added a layer of accountability. If I had to give "B Corp Year One" a theme, I'd say it was all about transparency.
Our daily mantra is "Rise is an unbiased resource for homeowners." That sounds simple enough, but in the world of content marketing, it's easier said than done. You wouldn't believe the amount of pressure and opportunities that exist to accept payment in exchange for articles, videos and features. Sponsored content is a legitimate and successful model, but it doesn't suit our business.
In an industry where it's hard to tell the news from the ads, we've made a commitment to do NO sponsored content.
In an industry where it's hard to tell the news from the ads, we've made a commitment to do NO sponsored content. Companies cannot pay Rise to mention them in articles or videos. Period. As our user base grows, we face more and more opportunities to leverage that revenue stream, and day after day we confidently say "no." Our values are clearly defined on paper thanks to the B Corp process, and we have zero plans on veering from them.
Becoming a B Corp was a huge step for us, but I know with certainty that we would be committed to the same values of transparency and sustainability had we not pursued the designation. The Triple Bottom Line is in our DNA and our customers appreciate that. Do we sometimes feel pressured to pursue ad revenue streams? Absolutely. Will we change our minds? Absolutely not.
Commitment to the big things
Our customers are building professionals and manufacturers that are committed to creating homes that are efficient, durable and promote the health of homeowners. We want to work with companies who see our mantra of "unbiased resource for homeowners" as an asset, not a drawback. Customers who share our values for sustainability and transparency love us for it, and we love them, too.
When I started reflecting on our first year as a B Corp, I was excited to brag about our ban on single-use plastics, our unlimited vacation policy, the drive-less program, and Environmentally Preferred Purchasing (EPP). There have definitely been challenges with these policies — like our favorite restaurant only having plastic take-out containers, or someone forgetting their reusable mug while on a coffee run. The team will never let me forget that time we went without coffee for a month because I couldn't find a machine that meets our high standards for environmental impact. You could say we have some room to grow when it comes to the "little things," so we're looking forward to upping our game in time for our B Corp recertification in 2022.
We commit to the "big things" (the planet, our people and profits) in a big way by being extremely honest with our employees, our customers, our shareholders, and the millions of homeowners who visit buildwithrise.com. Rise has big plans ahead, and with our B Corp values at our side, I feel confident in our ability to make the right moves.
Consumers are demanding more from the companies they buy from, and those who don't adapt to these new standards will be rightfully left behind. B Corps (and aspiring B Corps) need to set an example by making the triple bottom line more than a requirement for their certification. Make it the definition of who you are as an organization.

The Dagger
LSU continues to stockpile frontcourt talent with commitment from coveted forward Ben Simmons
Jeff Eisenberg
At first glance, it's difficult to fathom why heralded power forward prospect Ben Simmons would commit to LSU on Monday morning over more prestigious basketball programs like Duke or Kentucky.
Only after a closer look at Simmons' ties to the Tigers does the rationale behind the Class of 2015 standout's decision become clearer.
Simmons, Rivals.com's No. 6 prospect in the Class 0f 2015, felt most comfortable at LSU in part because of the presence of his godfather David Patrick. The LSU assistant played with Simmons' father in Australia and has previously landed a handful of top Aussie prospects while working at Saint Mary's, including Patrick Mills, Clint Steindl and Matthew Dellavedova.
"As soon as I got back [from a visit to LSU], I knew I wanted to go there," Simmons wrote in a USA Today blog entry Monday morning. "It's just like being around family there and that's important for me. I felt really comfortable committing early because I know that's where I want to be so I called my dad and my sister and told them what I was thinking.
"My dad said he felt really comfortable with the staff too - and that was all I needed to hear. That gave me even more confidence in my decision. If he had said anything like 'Maybe you should think about it more,' or anything like that I wouldn't be committed now."
The commitment from Simmons is a huge coup for an LSU program that is beginning to stockpile frontcourt talent under second-year coach Johnny Jones.
Many believe LSU will emerge as an NCAA tournament team this season thanks to the trio of returning all-SEC forward Johnny O'Bryant and promising freshman forwards Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey. O'Bryant averaged 13.6 points and 8.7 rebounds and posted 15 double-doubles last season, while the 6-foot-9 Martin is a McDonald's All-American with a smooth inside-outside game and the 6-foot-8 Mickey is a raw but athletic power forward.
Even though O'Bryant may leave for the NBA draft after this season, reinforcements will be ready to make up for the loss. Martin and Mickey will get experience this season and they'll be joined by four-star center Elbert Robinson in 2014 and by Simmons in 2015 if both are still at LSU by then.
Simmons may be the most intriguing prospect of all because of his skill level and high basketball IQ.
It's easy to tell that the 6-foot-10 forward is the son of a former pro basketball player because of his understanding of how to space the floor, move without the ball and set up his teammates for easy baskets. He can score from the paint or the perimeter, whether it's via mid-range jump shots, drives or with his back to the basket.
It has been more than seven years since LSU's 2006 Final Four appearance under John Brady and more than four years since the Tigers' last NCAA tournament appearance in the first season of Trent Johnson's tenure. The way Jones and his staff are thriving on the recruiting trail, it won't be long before LSU has returned to national relevancy again.


LONDON • Hull City took a giant leap towards the English Championship play-off final with a 3-0 victory at Derby County in the first leg of their semi-final on Saturday.
Abel Hernandez opened the scoring with a 25-metre shot in the 30th minute and the Tigers doubled their lead 10 minutes later, when Moses Odubajo's effort deflected in off Derby's Jason Shackell.
Andy Robertson added a third goal on the counter-attack deep into second-half stoppage time.
"It's a big play-off game against a good Derby team and you don't expect to win 3-0," Hull manager Steve Bruce told Sky Sports. "I think it's the best we've played in a long, long time.
"When you're away from home, to start with you've got to be rock solid. I don't think they've had a chance. It's testament to the team and the way they've worked."
The former Manchester United captain added: "We worked all week at playing on the counter-attack. Derby went a little bit direct which played into our hands and then we could break."
Hull's victory was especially sweet for Bruce's team as it was only last month that they suffered a 4-0 defeat at Derby's iPro Stadium.
Derby were the only team to win a regular-season Championship match at Hull this term and they must do so again tomorrow if they are to reach the final, where they would face either Sheffield Wednesday or Brighton & Hove Albion.
"We need to go and enjoy the game. We've got to be ready and focused for Tuesday and make sure we get the job done," Bruce said.
The winners of the Championship play-off final at Wembley on May 28 will secure the third and final promotion place to the lucrative English Premier League, joining Burnley and Middlesbrough, who took the two automatic spots.
No team have overturned a two-goal deficit in a Championship play-off. So, with Wednesday beating Brighton 2-0 in the first leg of the other semi-final on Friday, an all-Yorkshire Wembley final looms.

Technology Lagos Business School (LBS)
LBS partners Meta on virtual reality study to curb ethnic tensions
Frank Eleanya Dec 5, 2022
The Lagos Business School (LBS) has secured a partnership with Meta to conduct a Virtual Reality (VR) study across Africa.
The study by Eugene Ohu and the Virtual Human-Computer Interaction (VHCI) lab will conduct cross-cultural academic research to explore the extent to which participation in a VR game design and play can increase empathy and compassion.
Meta's support for the VHCI Lab is part of a $50 million global investment in global research and programme partners to help build the metaverse collaboratively.
The study is entitled "Identity & Ethnic Discrimination in Africa: from VR-Perspective-taking to Action" and will be conducted across four states in Nigeria and Kenya. It will focus on ethnic identity and discrimination to curb ethnic tensions, violent conflicts, and wars in countries across Africa.
"Since 2018, we have been intrigued by the perspective-taking possibilities of immersive technologies, like VR, and its impact on users; how VR may be used to elicit or increase empathy and compassion and its use in improving mental health outcomes," Ohu said. "We are excited to partner with Meta to extend and deepen our curiosities to broader contexts. We feel privileged to contribute to a greater understanding of the possibilities of the Metaverse, which will play a great role in work and non-work domains."

The VHCI lab explores the implications of the immersive, interactive, and perspective-taking characteristics of technologies like computers, mobile devices, and Virtual and Augmented Reality for character development, learning, behaviour modification, well-being, and productivity.
"I am thrilled that Meta will be partnering with the Lagos Business School VHCI Lab on a virtual reality study across the African continent. This is a validation of our core commitment to building a sustainable business. Virtual reality is the future technology, and the LBS VHCI Lab research with Meta will explore the endless possibilities in creating a virtual world that allows people to see and feel things," said Chris Ogbechie, Dean of LBS.

A pendulum is swinging upward and is halfway toward its highest position, as shown above, when the string breaks. Which of the paths shown best represents the one that the ball would take after the string breaks?
As the pendulum swings in an arc, the velocity at any instant is tangent to the arc and therefore perpendicular to the string. The ball has this velocity at the instant the string breaks, so the initial part of the path must be perpendicular to the string. Afterwards, the ball behaves as a projectile under the influence of gravity alone, so it follows a parabolic path.


Laura was at her wits' end with her cat Coco, a 6-year-old Siamese mix. Ever since Laura's work schedule had picked up last fall, Coco had begun urinating on her bed. It would happen a few times a week. Laura had thoroughly laundered all the bedding and applied a pet odor remover. When this didn't help, she put down plastic sheeting atop the bed, added a second litter pan nearby, and kept it impeccably clean. All to no avail.
Coco had always been a very friendly cat, but now she was sticking to Laura like glue. Meowing, rubbing against her legs, waking her in the early morning, and constantly getting underfoot. It was impossible for Laura to get anything done without Coco kneading, pawing, or depositing herself right in the middle of whatever she was doing.
Coco had a classic case of feline separation anxiety syndrome (SAS).
What Is Separation Anxiety in Cats?
Separation anxiety is a well-recognized behavior syndrome in dogs, but many people don't realize that cats can experience it, too. Conventional wisdom says that cats are too independent and apathetic to fret over a person's comings and goings. Not so. In fact, cats are highly social creatures with the ability to form deep attachments to humans and other animals. For some felines, this attachment becomes excessive and dysfunctional. When a treasured human is absent, these kitties can suffer true distress, and that comes often out as inappropriate behavior.
Feline separation anxiety usually presents more subtly than it does in dogs and therefore may go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. The typical dog with SAS will bark, whine, pace, howl, and become overtly destructive in the home. It's hard to miss. While cats with SAS may be more demanding and needy, they're equally apt to internalize their stress by becoming withdrawn, not eating, and literally pulling their hair out. The signs of SAS in cats can overlap with a wide range of health and behavior problems such as urinary tract disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and other causes of inappropriate urination. Therefore, is essential to consult with your veterinarian if your cat shows these signs. He or she will perform a full exam along with appropriate lab tests to rule out physical problems. A precise behavioral history is also essential to determine exactly what's going in.
Signs of separation anxiety in cats may include those below.
House-soiling is probably the most common manifestation of separation anxiety in cats. The target may be the owner's bed or belongings, as in Coco's case. Unfortunately, house-soiling is also associated with a host of other feline medical and behavioral problems, from urinary tract infection to diabetes to inter-cat aggression. This lack of specificity can make diagnosis difficult.
Excessive clinginess can be a sign of SAS. In fact, cats that are needy, dependent, or hyper-attached to their owner are at most at risk for developing SAS. A cat that clings like glue whenever you're preparing to leave home or greets you each evening like a long-lost friend is a prime candidate for the disorder.
Social withdrawal can be a confusing sign of separation anxiety in cats. These cats may hide and seem more stand-offish around an owner's comings and goings. Humans tend to call it anger or spite when their cat turns a cold shoulder to them in this manner. In fact, this is just our human interpretation of what may be a stressed-out kitty.
Overgrooming may occur in cats suffering from SAS. Like humans who bite their fingernails, cats that feel stressed out may take it out on their fur, leaving their forelegs, lower back, abdomen, or thighs threadbare or bald. Food or environmental allergies can present in the exact same way, creating a diagnostic challenge for your vet.
Appetite loss, vomiting, and diarrhea that occur around your absences are classic signs of feline stress, but they are equally common indicators of physical illness, so be sure to consult with your veterinarian if you see these signs.
Destructive behavior is a classic sign of SAS in dogs but it's less common in cats. Still, things knocked off windowsills or scratch marks on your front door may be a clue. Likewise, cats rarely vocalize the way dogs do when suffering from separation anxiety, but if they do, it's a sure sign.
It's worthwhile to note that SAS may be more common in certain feline breeds, those with more humanlike temperaments such as Siamese and Burmese. Inadequate early socialization (such as in orphaned, feral, or shelter kittens) may also yield dysfunctional social attachments in adulthood. Beware of behavior changes in your cat following a family vacation, a change in work schedule (as in Coco's case), the arrival of a new baby, or the death of another pet because this can be a red flag for SAS.
As with dogs, treatment for SAS kitties relies on behavior modification, environmental enrichment, and often, medication.
Eliminate triggers. It may be helpful to desensitize your cat to the cues that show you're about to depart. If your cat starts acting needy (or by contrast, retreats under the bed) as soon as you make the coffee, put on your shoes, or pick up your keys, try performing these things in a different order or at random times of the day when you're not about to leave. The goal is to render these clues meaningless as a trigger for your cat's stress. Consider ignoring your cat for the 15 minutes before you leave and ignore her again when you first get home, hard as it may seem. Make your comings and goings as unexciting as possible. This creates less anxiety around your absence.
Avoid reinforcing "needy" behavior. Refrain from rewarding your cat with your attention or with food when she relentlessly meows, paws, kneads, sits on your computer keyboard or nibbles on your nose at 4 am. Your reaction to these overtures may actually reinforce the unwanted behavior. Ignore, walk away, toss a toy, or otherwise redirect your cat's attention if possible when this behavior begins.
Enrich the environment. Make your cat's surroundings as interesting as possible. Engaging his feline curiosity may take the sting out of your absence. Provide intriguing toys, a good climbing structure, a fish tank, or a perch by a window with a bird feeder outside. Provide scratching posts and condos for scratching and perching. Work routine grooming sessions and play times into the hours when you are home. This may help your cat learn to tolerate your absences better. Consider using feline facial pheromone spray to help calm your cat.
Treat inappropriate elimination. If your anxious cat is using your bedroom as her bathroom, it's time to take the usual steps against inappropriate elimination. Start by thoroughly laundering the stain from clothing or bedding. Use a pet-safe stain and odor remover on mattresses, upholstery, and floors. Switch to unscented clumping cat litter, and keep litter pans fastidiously clean. Adding another litter pan near the target site is also recommended. Again, note there are multiple potential causes of inappropriate elimination, so be sure to discuss this with your veterinarian.
Don't get another pet until the situation is sorted out. It's your company your cat craves, not another cat's. In fact, another pet competing for your love and attention can make matters worse.
Medication. Finally, anti-anxiety medications such as Prozac®, Elavil®, and Clomicalm® can be very effective in treating separation anxiety in cats. These and all medications must be used only as prescribed for your cat by your veterinarian or veterinary behaviorist.

Learn How To Draw People, Flowers, Landscapes Or Still Lifes.
Would you like to learn how to draw people as well as make drawings of flowers or landscapes?
To learn how to draw people is a skill that many wish to gain. Would you like to master that skill and combine it with the ability to draw or paint any subject at all? Drawing skills can be learned, just like any other so, if you have been thinking that you weren't born with an 'artistic' brain, please get rid of that notion right away.
Once you have mastered basic skills of, say, how to draw people, objects or landscapes, you can then begin the creative right-brained process of play as you explore paints and other mediums if you so wish.
Without learning the basics of drawing and elements of design, your paintings will have very small chance of success – and, sadly, you will never know why!
I learned drawing through the very laborious and time consuming process of attending art school for years.
However, I recently experienced what one could describe as a 'light bulb' moment when I read Sarah Parks' well constructed twelve week drawing course, Drawing Secrets Revealed and watched her accompanying videos.
I realized that, with the proviso that students actually put in the practice which Sarah recommends and complete exercises, anyone can master the drawing basics and develop confidence to tackle other aspects of this satisfying activity.
Learn how to draw people from a highly qualified and experienced art teacher.
Sarah is a serious artist and teacher, well qualified for the task that she has set herself. With her daughter Nicole's help with technical matters, such as video recording and editing, she has developed a series of videos and support text that demonstrate the process of how to draw people and objects using simple tools.
She systematically explains in detail the function of the inexpensive materials that you will need to get started. Successive lessons cover elements of design such as shapes, construction, values, facial proportions, perspective and composition. The course is suitable for beginners but also for those who feel that they need a 'refresher' course in how to draw anything they choose with complete confidence.
Whole lessons are devoted to the fun of action drawing (where I guarantee you will surge ahead in leaps and bounds!), how and why to use grids, make accurate flower drawings, of course how to draw people, including some of the secrets of drawing eyes.
Although the course is presented as twelve lessons you may progress as slowly or as rapidly as you wish. Perhaps your commitments require you to be away from home for a period. No worries – take up where you left off on your return. Or, if you have a block of time available for some reason, you may wish to dedicate that time to learn how to draw people, still lifes and landscapes.
As with any self-directed activity, the course will only work well if you finish the exercises conscientiously. Just reading the text and watching the videos may be interesting but the old adage that 'we learn by doing' is as true as always.
Want to learn more about this downloadable, inexpensive e-course?
If you decide to go down the path of self-learning with Sarah, I wish you a most enjoyable and constructive time.


The United Nations digital ambassador, Elyx, participated from 1 to 3 September in a field exercise simulating an oil spill in the Danube Delta, organised by UNECE to improve the response to industrial accidents.
Elyx began on 15 August a 70-days trip to highlight UN's work around the world on the occasion of the UN's 70th anniversary. Elyx's journey will end on 24 October at UN Headquarters in New York City.
Elyx selected the UNECE exercise in the Danube Delta, Europe's second largest river delta and shared by the Republic of Moldova, Romania and Ukraine, as one of his stops in Europe. Elyx learnt how countries jointly respond to such accidents in order to mitigate accidental water pollution. Industrial accidents can have severe consequences on human health and the environment, not only within the country they are originating in, but also across borders. It is thus important that riparian countries work closely together to effectively respond to such accidents in the event of an emergency. UNECE supports countries in improving their transboundary cooperation before, during and after an industrial accident in order to prevent them and to mitigate their effects, in case they occur.
Following the exercise, Elyx took part in the participants' meeting to evaluate the results of the exercise. The results will contribute to finalize the first draft Joint Contingency Plan for the Danube Delta between the Republic of Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.
The Project on improving hazard and crisis management in the Danube Delta is implemented under the auspices of the UNECE Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents. Activities under the hazard and crisis management components of the project are being carried out thanks to the financial support by Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and Romania. The Republic of Moldova hosted and contributed in-kind to the organization of the field exercise in the Danube Delta.

Distribution of the early-life phase of the Antarctic squid Galiteuthis glacialis in relation to the hydrology of the Southern Ocean in the sector 15� to 30�E
During R.R.S. "Discovery" Cruise 100 in the Southern Ocean (1979), 620 specimens of the Antarctic cranchiid squid Galiteuthis glacialis (Chun) were caught in the RMT8 opening-closing net, to the south of the Antarctic Polar Front (APF). The catch was dominated by individuals <20 mm dorsal mantle length (DML) and, apart from two specimens, the rest of the catch was <60 mm DML. Two larger squid (255 mm DML) were both immature and apparently female. The species is concentrated at a depth of 300 to 400 m; there is evidence of ontogenetic spreading and a shift in the modal depth of the population from the 300 to 400 m horizon in daylight to the 200 to 300 m horizon in darkness. The collection confirms the circumpolar distribution of the species and supports previous evidence that it rarely, if ever, occurs to the north of the APF. As in Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, the only other species of cranchiid squid known to occur south of the APF, the early-life phase of G. glacialis is concentrated in the upper zone of the "warm deep water" beneath the Antarctic surface layer where, putatively, there is a zone of enhanced biological activity.

Infosys has lost money on all govt projects: Murthy
July 20, 2015 20:25 IST
Infosys, country's second largest software services firm, has not made any profit on government projects because of red-tapism and other issues, its co-founder N R Narayana Murthy said on Monday.
Highlighting issues like delayed payments and changes in project requirements mid-stream, the former Infosys chairman said government projects need to have clauses at par with international practices to ensure participation from Indian players and to make campaigns like Digital India successful.
"There is not a single project Infosys has done and not lost money, that's a reality, when dealing with the governments," Murthy told CNBC-TV18.
He added that low price, delayed payments, not accepting software on time, changing requirements mid-stream, not allocating enough time to define requirements and in some cases, corruption are some of the issues that IT firms faced while working on government projects.
"If those things are all adhered to, I have no doubt at all that the entire IT industry will rally behind the government in making Digital India a success," he said.
In the past too, Infosys has expressed concerns about working on government projects.
In India, the Bangalore-based firm works with government in areas like financial inclusiveness and access, healthcare, utilities, e-governance, and agricultural and livestock productivity.
It works with various government agencies including Finance Ministry and Department of Posts.
Stating that Indian companies derive 90-98 per cent of their revenues from global corporations, Murthy said the prices are "very attractive" outside India.
"Therefore, unless the government of India comes up with reasonably attractive and competitive set of clauses, I am not very sure if the large companies will be keen on working with the government," Murthy said.
Murthy said the government should have a contract that is considered fair to both the government and the companies.
"Let us make sure that we are reasonable in our expectations, that we show our commitment to completion of the project. Let us allocate enough time of our officers to define the problem properly... make sure there are no unfair penalties," he said.
Murthy added that Digital India will become a very important instrument for creating large number of jobs.
"Digital India were to succeed if it becomes easier to work with the government, and if government were to accept the international standards of contracts in software development, and in accepting the software the company has developed, if they pay on time etc," Murthy said.
He was confident that the ambitious Digital India project will offer opportunities for applications in local languages like Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Bengali.

Opposition Party Says 'Mass Failure Of Students In Osun Is Deliberate'

By Williams Osewezina
An opposition party in Osun State, Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN), has condemned the latest mass failure of Secondary School Students (SS2) who were to move to final year (SS3), claiming it was a deliberate act by the State government.
The Secretary of the Osun State chapter of the party, Kola Ibrahim, who spoke to Channels Television on Friday, said information available to the group showed that out of over 28,000 Secondary School-2 students who partook in the mock examination to move to SS3, only about 7,000 students passed.
Deliberate And Ill-motivated
He decried the pass rate of about 25 per cent, saying that the party considers the mass failure as deliberate and ill-motivated on the part of the Governor Rauf Aregbesola government, which through its education ministry conducted the examination for all students.
"It is clear that the aim of this general examination is to reduce the number of students that will partake in the external final examination, especially West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), as a way of covering up the government's inadequacies in the education sector.
"Osun State has come in a distant position in pass rates for external examinations. For instance, in 2015, the state came 29th in WAEC ranking of pass rates across states, with just 8,000 students out of over 48,000 obtaining five credits in vital subjects.
"This terrible situation is a reflection of the mismanagement of the education sector by the Aregbesola administration. In the first seven months of 2015, teachers in public schools alongside other public workers, were not paid any salary, leading to a four-month strike.
"Since August 2015, the state government has been paying half salary to workers including teachers, albeit irregularly.
"This has no doubt affected the morale and capacity of teachers, which is having negative effects on the standard of education in Osun State," he insisted.
The SPN secretary further gave his opinion on recently commissioned mega schools.
He says "people in Osun need to reject an attempt by the government to hand over the newly built mega-schools, on which billions of Naira have been committed, to private managers".
Mr Ibrahim believes this act is tantamount to using public funds to enrich private business people, a situation he pointed out would also lead to putting the cost of education out of the reach of the poor and working class people in the state.
"The private managers will introduce huge fees in the schools built with the public funds," he stressed.
Mr Ibrahim then called on union leaders, especially those in the education sector, students, parents and communities to resist what he called 'anti-poor policies of the Aregbesola-led government' which he alleged had worsened the condition of the education sector in Osun State.
On its part, the government, through the Executive Chairman, Education Quality Assurance and Morality Enforcement Agency, Dr. Ayodele Owoade, said that the mock examination for the SS2 students was organised to test the students' preparedness for examinations ahead.
Osun State had recorded a 46.30 per cent in the last 2016 West Africa Examination Council Examinations, a result the state government said was a confirmation of its huge investment in the education sector.
The government said that for a state that once fell to a woeful six per cent performance prior to the Rauf Aregbesola's administration to move up to 46.3 per cent aptly illustrated the fact that the government's various interventions in education were paying off.
A statement by the Bureau of Communication and Strategy in the Office of the Governor says the government is not yet satisfied or resting on its oars until the state emerges the best state in the country in external examinations.
The statement, signed by the Bureau's Director, Semiu Okanlawon, noted that the 2016 WAEC results indicate that the 2016 performance rating remained the highest and the best in 13 years.

Academic Program Manager II
What were the circumstances of your coming to work at the College of Computing?
I was working in a different unit on campus when a similar opportunity came available in the College of Computing. I applied and was graciously hired.
What's one of your favorite memories from your time as a student?
I was a student-athlete on a very successful team so many football games that included several wins against Clemson, Virginia, and UGA.
How has the College changed since you were a student?
Klaus sits atop of what used to be the student infirmary, and the Hightower building had the most comfortable couch ever. I could say more but I think that says a lot.
How is GT Computing different than similar institutions?
GT Computing as an organization is very top-down diverse, which is outstanding given our current sociopolitical climate.
What do you carry with you from your time as a student that still informs/influences your personal/professional life?
Our coach had a quirk where being 15 min early for a meeting was considered "on time" and if one showed up "on time", they'd be late, the meeting would be over and they'd be in trouble. As an example, if the meeting was said to begin at 3 p.m., then the expectation was to be there at 2:45 p.m.. Showing up at 3 p.m. would be a problem for you.
How would you like to see the college grow in the next decade?
I'd really like to see the College embrace the "Tech" in the name and aspire to be so technologically advanced that our unit is compared to the Jetsons as trendsetters. Augmented reality, holograms, green screens, and other bells and whistles should pepper our hallways such that our College would attract visitors who come for the tourist aspect and stay for the education.
