Meet The Women Leading The Fight For More Women In AI
Monday, December 28, 2020 9:00 AM | Anonymous
In order to create meaningful change in the lives of women, it is important that we take the "women supporting women" concept one step further, and become strategic in our support. The exciting potential of women in AI is that their presence has such a wide reach. Not only is AI one of the most pervasive technologies industry-wise, the data it produces can have significant social impacts on our society.
In this article, you'll hear from some of the most influential women investors and entrepreneurs in AI discussing their strategic support of fellow women and their passion for building a future with a plethora of successful, diverse AI companies.
Shruti Gandhi has worked in data for over a decade. She is an engineer and founder of Array Ventures with 6 exits to companies such as Apple, Paypal, and Samsung with 10x returns. She is also an adjunct professor in the CS department at Columbia University.
Array Ventures leads first round investments in data, AI, and ML companies that solve problems for the enterprise in every vertical from health, fintech, to general AI and developer tools. The fund helps technical founders focus on their go-to-market strategy which Gandhi believes is the key to unlock success for the next stages. Despite the challenges of the stage over 75% of Array Ventures portfolio companies have raised great follow-on rounds from top funds.
Gandhi says it is important for investors to support women founders in AI, because AI learns from people that train it. "I often complain that Alexa doesn't understand my accent," says Gandhi, "and people often retort back with, "well, it's trained by a lot of Indian engineers," but then I ask, 'Are those engineers women?' and then there isn't a good answer."

Why A Transformation Is Required To Enable Women Entrepreneurship
Monday, December 21, 2020 2:00 PM | Anonymous
In India, women entrepreneurs have a potential to create transformational employment and generate 150–170 million jobs according to a joint report by Bain & Company and Google. However, women continue to struggle for accessing equal opportunities, equal payment and equal recognition.
The abysmal state of women can be verified by a mere glance at the data – the World Bank estimates that 35% of India's women of the working-age population currently do not have paid work. Although women represent 42% of the agricultural labour force in India, they own just 2% of farmland. Women's Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) in India is among the lowest in the world and continues to decline. The unemployment rate among women is 18% in India against the overall unemployment rate of 7%, in the country. As per the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute (2015), India performs below the 20th percentile in the female entrepreneurship index. By 2030, the working-age population of India will surpass 1 billion, the highest in the world. Research suggests that just women alone will need 400 million jobs.
To decrease the economic disparity between men and women, India collectively needs to take a non-traditional approach. While the Government of India and civil society organisations are undertaking various initiatives to promote employment and entrepreneurship among women and have created successful examples across India, there is room for tremendous improvement. And to solve a problem, one must look deep enough to identify the reasons behind it.

Serena Williams: Silicon Valley is wrong about Black women entrepreneurs
My life story is one of breaking barriers and championing inclusion, on and off the court. Coming up in a predominately White male sport, I have been underestimated and underpaid throughout my career. Now, as a venture capitalist investing in early-stage startups, I see myself in the Black female founders who are often counted out right from the start.
The Black female founder begins her fundraising journey already down a match point. Black women face a unique set of challenges colored by misconceptions of both race and gender. Investors notoriously doubt female founders, typically focusing investment analysis on the potential risks and losses of female-founded startups. They often assume that women-founded companies are more likely to fail. With male-founded startups, investors take a more optimistic approach, focusing on founders' potential to capture market share and drive the accelerated growth necessary for massive financial returns. Meanwhile, Black founders contend with systemic inequity at each step of their journey. Investors expect to see more traction from Black founders than their White counterparts, and will often question their technical expertise and market understanding.
Black female founders exist at the intersection of these challenges, making it exponentially more difficult for them to get the funding they need.
And then there's the problem of the network effect.
To raise your first million, you need to raise your first check. That can be notoriously difficult. Entrepreneurs often turn to their friends and family to raise capital, a luxury reserved to those with wealthy networks willing to bet thousands of dollars on a person with a good idea.

Here's who made Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business list
Accenture CEO Julie Sweet and General Motors Chairman and CEO Mary Barra top the new 2020 list of Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business, which was released Monday.
Because of the multiple crises marking this year -- the pandemic, economic shocks, an overdue reckoning with racial injustice and climate change disasters -- the criteria to determine who should make the top 50 list was expanded this year.
"Simply put, 2020 is the year when we said a final goodbye to business as usual," Fortune writers noted in their introduction to the list.
So, in addition to considering the size and health of a woman leader's business in the global economy, her social and cultural influence, and the arc of her career, Fortune added a new element: how individual women leaders were using their power and influence to shape their companies and the world for the better.
Sweet takes the No. 1 spot for running a professional services firm with more than half a million employees in 51 countries who are helping clients figure out the "new world order." The firm gets the majority of its revenue from clients in the cloud, digital and security businesses. And, as Covid-19 hit, "the company tapped into that expertise to help connect the UK's 1.2 million National Health Service workers remotely and to partner with Salesforce on contact tracing and vaccine management technology," Fortune noted.

Five steps to help women entrepreneurs cross the business gender divide
Monday, November 30, 2020 2:00 AM | Anonymous
Women entrepreneurs tend to be stuck at the lower end of the business value chain, while their male counterparts make more profits at the high end. The ILO has developed a five step model to help women cross the business gender divide.
Walk through any town or village in my home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and you'll see a multitude of hairdressing businesses, most of them run by women. They are mainly plaiting, cutting and styling but this is not where the real money is made. Their businesses remain on a plateau, never really moving forward.
Then you find small factories producing the hair products used by these women entrepreneurs. In most cases, the factories are owned and run by men, who have found a way to tap into more lucrative segments of the chain.
You see this business gender divide in many parts of the world, where women are stuck in the lower ends of the value chain or where they are concentrated in traditionally female, low income sectors.
Take Somalia for instance, in my role as lead technical officer of the ILO's Women's Entrepreneurship Development (WED) team, I have spent time with Somali business women, who are working in the dairy chain. They may own one or two cows and sell the milk in the market or on the streets of the capital Mogadishu. Most do not think of moving into other more profitable businesses, partly because milk production is often handed down in the family and is seen as a woman's traditional role.
I've also met entrepreneurs working in Somalia's more profitable renewable energy sector, which is dominated by men, most of whom would not consider working in the dairy sector because it's seen as 'women's work'.
Our aim in the WED team is to help women 'add value' to businesses they may already own in essential and female dominated sectors, and to encourage them enter more lucrative sectors, often growth-oriented and male-dominated. We have developed a five-point business upgrading model to help make this happen:
Identify and assess the best sectors where women can establish and grow their businesses. This includes sectors where women already have a significant presence, and those that are traditionally male-dominated, which women can be encouraged to enter.
Deliver tailored business support, including entrepreneurship trainings, business continuity management, and soft skills training that cater for women's and men's needs. By working with local business support organizations, we ensure that these services sustain and remain available even after projects have ended.
Help business women access markets by working with government and the private sector to promote hiring and purchasing policies that benefit and include women owned and led enterprises; and by helping women entrepreneurs succeed in bidding processes, equipping them with market information, and supporting them to meet standards and requirements.
Make finance easier to access by connecting women entrepreneurs with different financing options, including conventional financial institutions, as well as less conventional financing mechanisms, such as impact investors.
Strengthen women entrepreneurs' voice and representation by building peer-to-peer support networks, and facilitating their participation in key associations and platforms. Through soft-skills development and strengthened networks, the aim is also to empower and encourage women entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and enter and succeed in male-dominated sectors.

Once among the fastest-growing sectors, female-owned small businesses report failing health during the pandemic
Wednesday, November 25, 2020 2:00 PM | Anonymous
Existing inequities have been magnified during the economic troubles, business leaders say.

Article By Judith Kohler of The Denver Post
Alicia Scott inspects her roof on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020. Alicia Scott, founder and CEO of Roots to Roof, is a member of an organization started by the company Just Fearless to help women stay in business.
Alicia Scott went from answering phones and doing the filing at a roofing company to being a production manager and then a vice president. She then struck out on her own.
"A couple of years ago, I decided I had enough working crazy hours and being the first one in and the last to leave," Scott said. "I decided that it was time to make a change, so I started my own company."
Scott, who lives in Golden, started Roots to Roofs in 2017, offering landscaping and exterior construction services. Her staff grew to eight full-time employees, but has been cut in half since the coronavirus pandemic exploded. The company's revenue has dropped by 40%.
"We've tightened up ship quite a bit. We're not taking on any marketing, stuff like that," said Scott, when asked if she thinks her company can hang on. "But it's been difficult."
Weathering the pandemic has been rough for many businesses, but a recent report released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said female-owned small businesses have been disproportionately affected. A survey by Ipsos found that the businesses were more likely than those owned by men to report a significant decline in the health of their business since the pandemic started. They were also less likely to be planning new investments for the coming year.
Before the pandemic, 67% of the male owners described the overall health of their business as "somewhat or very good," compared to 60% of female-owned businesses. In July, 62% of male owners still described their businesses that way, while only 47% of female owners did.
"When you look at the broader context, it is a giant alarm bell," said Tom Sullivan, vice president for small-business policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
That's because over the last five years, female-owned businesses, about 42% of the small businesses nationwide, saw their employment grow 8%, compared to just 1.8% for all businesses, according to a 2019 report by American Express. The number of female-owned small businesses increased 21% during that period compared to 9% for businesses overall.
Sullivan said it's troubling to see the fast-growing segment of the small-business economy losing steam.
There are 139,760 female business owners in Colorado, accounting for 39.8% of all business owners in the state, according to a new report by Self Financial, which helps build and improve credit. Colorado has the 14th-highest percentage of female business owners.
The pandemic has magnified inequities faced by minority- and female-owned businesses, like access to loans and other capital, Sullivan said. Compounding the challenges is that many female-owned businesses, such as retail shops and hair salons, rely on foot traffic and are more vulnerable when restrictions are imposed.
More federal help is needed, Sullivan said. The chamber is pushing for bipartisan support for more stimulus funding.
Kisha Mays, founder and CEO of Just Fearless and an angel investor, said she believes it's a matter of when, not if, Congress approves more money to help businesses cope with the pandemic.
"But that next bill of coronavirus relief won't happen at least until maybe February 2021," Mays said. "And you still have Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's — three months essentially. How are these businesses that need help now supposed to wait for three months and hope they'll get help?"
So, Mays, whose company works with primarily female-owned businesses, sped up a grant program that was in the works. One of her ventures, HERstory Connections, a support network for female entrepreneurs, closed the first round of applications for $5,000 grants and expects to open another.
"It might help them pay rent for a month or two. It might help them make payroll," Mays said.
Her long-term goal is to see 1 million female business founders produce a minimum of $1 million in annual revenue by the end of 2025. Mays said less than 2% of female-owned businesses now generate at least seven figures in annual revenue.
"We start businesses at a faster rate than men but we get funded at a slower rate," Mays said. "And now you see them struggling."
Scott, the roofing company owner, didn't apply for a grant or other funding but has turned to women's business organizations, including HERstory, for support, networking, training sessions and other resources.
"Just having someone to talk with and connect with, to be able to get through whatever challenges we're going through, that's been really big for me."

Healthcare Is Experiencing A Boom In Female Entrepreneurs And Leaders
In October, the Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded to two women, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for the development of a method for genome editing called CRISPR. This is the first time two women have won this prestigious prize and is a timely signal of the growing role women play in health-related fields.
While specific data is hard to find, anecdotal evidence seems to show more women are founding or leading efforts in the healthcare and life sciences industries. And even though women still lag men in the percentage of healthcare leadership roles, with only 13% serving as CEOs and 30% being part of C-suite teams, they tend to be better represented at the top versus in other sectors like financial services or technology.
Lygeia Ricciardi, Chief Transformation Officer of Carium attributes some of this larger role to simple volume. Given that women make 80% of the healthcare buying decisions in the United States and make up 65% of the healthcare workforce, she says it's "only natural that we have strong opinions and insights into how to make it better." And she sees lots of room for improvement, pointing to the opportunity to help people – especially women – use digital tools to better manage and improve their health.
Astarte Medical cofounder and CFO Tammi Jantzen echoes this point. "Women are the Chief Medical Officers of the home. It only makes sense that more women are leading companies in healthcare – they know their customer because they are their customer." Jantzen also believes that as discussions about women's issues like sexual and reproductive health become less taboo, more female entrepreneurs are seeking solutions.
Perhaps this helps explain the sudden and explosive growth of what's been termed femtech. This subcategory of healthtech focuses on approaches and solutions for women's health issues. At least $241 million in venture capital funding flowed to this sector in 2019 alone, with Frost & Sullivan projecting a market potential of $50 billion by 2025.

This book is a permission slip for womxn around the world to follow their intuition, step out of line, and make their own rules. The author shares a powerful tell-all that will leave you thinking, "I thought it was just me."
Mental health is quickly becoming less of a taboo topic and more of real concern, due to world cultural riots, manifestations, isolation, unemployment, suffering economies …. the system's are crumbling around the pandemic. From which, womxn are the most affected ones. The reality is that as womxn continue to climb social ranks, they continue to deal with multiple traumas surrounding sexual abuse, physical abuse, post-partum trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even addiction. The real problem womxn are facing is the repression and invisible shackles we keep on ourselves due to the stigma of weakness our cultural and social heritage promotes. We are avoiding the inner and outer roadblocks within ourselves, which lead to a recession in all manners.
During the author's time in service in the United States Navy, a decade of serving the transitioning military community, and as the President & Founder at The Paradigm Switch, the author saw herself and other womxn struggling in key areas day in and day out. She found that her experiences were very common and that she wasn't alone in her "secret" feelings.

Each chapter the author will highlight a collection of personal experiences as an opportunity for the reader to relate to. At the end of each chapter, the author will provide an invitation for the reader to participate in journal prompts and healing personal reflective work. If you purchase, read, and participate in the activities in this book you may find the courage to slow down, trust yourself, forgive yourself, and or begin to build a life that serves you as much as you serve everyone else.

There she leads and manages a volunteer team of 15 people in 8 different time zones and a global network of 2,000 military spouses (92% women) from around the globe.
Justine is redefining the word innovation and believes that everyone has the ability to innovate in their own unique way. Justine believes that we must not only learn how to anticipate change but we also must learn how to create it.
Justine Evirs is a Navy veteran, Stanford GSB Alumni, powerhouse innovator & visionary who is on a mission to inspire people how to use the power of innovation to defy the odds.

Q: how to show one time toast messages in android studio
I wanted to add a `toast message` when clicked on a button and I added it. Now I want show it only **one time**, that means the toast message will **not show again** if clicked on the button after the first time **also after a restart of app**.
Please help me!

A: You can do it with SharedPreferences that you store in another class like Utility.java:
public class Utility {

    public static SharedPreferences preferences(Context context) {
        return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    }

    public static Boolean hasSendToast(Context context) {
        return preferences(context).getBoolean("Toast", false);
    }

    public static void setSendToast(Context context, Boolean bool) {
        preferences(context).edit()
                .putBoolean("Toast", bool).apply();
    }
}

And use it with your Toast inside the onClickListener in your MainActivity.java like this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button button = findViewById(R.id.button);
        button.setOnClickListener(v -> {
            if (!Utility.hasSendToast(getApplicationContext())) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "My Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
                Utility.setSendToast(getApplicationContext(), true);
            }
        });
    }
}

A: You might want to look into https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared-preferences. After the first click write a boolean into shared preferences to indicate the first click has happened. Next time the user clicks the button make sure to check if that boolean has been set and don't show the toast if that's the case.

A: You can use a boolean flag and store the value using Shared Preference.
btn.onClickListener {
   if(!getToastShownStatusFromSharedPreference()) {
     showToast()
     changeToastShowsStatusToSharedPreference()
   }
   /* other operations */
}

A: Yes you can do that with SharedPreferences which is a pref manager in android. You can follow the below process:

*

*Declare a boolean as like isFirstTime = true.

*On the click of the button check boolean status, and if its true then fire the toast message and make isFirstTime = false.

That's it.

Then....life happened and members took different paths and the music, that was hot in the underground metal scene and loved by demo tape traders near and far, went dormant for 27 years! In 2014 Infrared reunited with 3 of the original 4 members (Kirk, Armin, and Alain), and since original bassist Shawn Thompson had moved to Miami, they recruited Mike Forbes. They worked hard to release their first full length album, No Peace, featuring songs written all those years ago and now, in 2018, Infrared release their sophomore album, Saviours, featuring 8 new songs coming in at just over 50 minutes of music! The album is themed on demagogues, dictators, and religious leaders professing to be the saviours of the world but instead inflict the most brutal attacks on humanity imaginable.
With several high profile concerts under their belts including opening for Anvil, Sacrifice, Dirkschneider, Flotsam and Jetsam, DBC, E-Force and Atrophy, 2018 will be a banner year for Infrared!
Mini Tour with Black Mass!
INFRARED'S SOPHOMORE ALBUM SAVIOURS AVAILABLE NOW!
8 Brand new songs with over 50 minutes of music!
"The new album is all new thrashtastic songs. Saviors is truly a work of heavy metal art. The guitars are loaded with heavy and fast thrash riffs and the leads are just what the heavy metal doctor ordered. The vocals are raw, heavy yet still melodic and clear......With talk of many of the original thrash Titians either retiring from the road or playing to limited places it seems that a new big four touring package is needed and one can only be put together with a band as fierce and powerful as Infrared in the top spot."
"Saviours has an epic grandoise quality, bordering on classic heavy metal which makes this release a memorable listen. The unified choruses add even more flavour to the musical pallette and highlights the solid vocal attack of Armin Kamal......Check out Saviours and let the radioactive thrash of Infrared penetrate you!"
"The album lit our pleasure from start to finish and Infrared is further proof that very good things can only get better with age."
"The old school always has a new trick up its sleeve, and this well-established band knows how to bring it better than a good 80 percent of all those eight-stringed newbies."
"For the sound and style, this is one of the top releases over the last year. The style was getting stale with many sound a-likes, now Infrared are here, so pick up your jaw and enjoy this bruiser of an album. "

WP-CLI or WordPress Command Line Interface has become an integral tool for developers to launch and manage sites. To encourage new contributors to the project, Alain Schlesser is organizing the first WP-CLI Hack Day, Friday, July 20th beginning at 08:00 CEST.
Schlesser and other contributors will be available in the WP-CLI Slack channel all day and on the project's GitHub site to answer questions and help people contribute to the project.
From 16:00-18:00 CEST, Schlesser will host a video call that's open to everyone where people can join in, discuss issues, and visually work through pull requests. The goal is to reach 20 pull requests that have been merged during the event. A post on Make/CLI blog will be published once WP-CLI Hack Day concludes summarizing any progress that was made.
To prepare prospecting contributors for the event, Schlesser has published a detailed guide on how to contribute to WP-CLI.
Folks can follow along on Twitter using the hashtag #hackwpcli. If Hack CLI Day is successful, more events will likely be created in the future to cover more time zones.

86 four-wheel drive " The insurance on Kennys cars cost a total of $798, and he spent five hundred dollars on replacement parts. Kenny figures that he spends about twenty dollars a week on gas, or about $1,040 for the year. After car expenses of $2,338 and after payments on the car loans of$1,655, the Mertens had $8,104 left to spend. A ten -day driving vacation In August of last year, highlighted by stops at the Indianapolis Motor Speed- way, Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, and the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville, cost fifteen hundred dollars and left them with $6,604. The Mertens' phone bill was approxi- mately rvventy-five dollars a month: the only long-distance calls Bonita made were to her mother and to her youngest brother , Todd, a thirty-three-year-old aerospace engineer living in Seattle. She kept the calls short. "Most of our calls are incoming, and most of them are for Christopher," Bonita says. The Mertens' water-and-sewage bill was about fifty dollars a month; their gas-and-electric bill was about a hundred and fifty dollars a month. "I have a hard time paying them bills now that the gas and electric com- panies have consolidated," Kenny says. "Before, if the gas was seventy-five dol- lars and the electric was seventy-five dol- lars, I could afford to pay one when I got paid. My take-home pay is too low to pay the two together." After paying ap- proximately twenty-seven hundred dol- lars for utilities, including late charges, the Mertens had a disposable income of $3,904. Much of that went toward making payments to a finance company on two of Kenny's loans. To help pay for the family's 1994 vacation, Kenny borrowed eleven hundred dollars, incurring pay- ments of about seventy-five dollars a month for two years and three months, at an interest rate of roughly twenty-five per cent. Kenny was more reluctant to discuss the second loan, saying only that it consisted of previous loans he'd "con- solidated" at a rate of about twenty-five per cent, and that it cost him a hundred and seventy-five dollars a month in pay- ments. Also in 1994 he borrowed "a small sum" for "Christmas and odds and ends" from the credit union at Bonnie's Barri- cades; twenty-five dollars a week was de- ducted from his paycheck for that loan. Payments on the three loans-about forty-three hundred dollars last year-left the Merten family with a budget deficit even before their numerous other ex- penses were taken into account. Except in a few small instances (ac- cording to their 1994 Iowa income-tax return, Bonita and Kenny paid H & R Block a hundred and two dollars to pre- pare their 1993 return, and they gave a hundred and twenty-five dollars to char- ity), it isn't possible to determine precisely what the rest of the Mertens' expendi- tures were in 1994. Several years ago, Kenny bounced a lot of checks, and he has not had a checking account since. Kenny exceeded the limits on both of their MasterCards a few years ago, and the cards were cancelled. Bonita has a J. C. Penney charge card but says, "I sel- dom dust it of(" Now and then, Bonita went to a downtown outlet store, and if a dress caught her fancy she might put it on layaway. On special occasions, she bought inexpensive outfits for herself and for Kenny. Before last year's summer holiday, she spent seven dollars on a top and a pair of shorts, and during the trip Kenny bought a seventy-five dollar denim jacket for himself and about fifty dollars' worth of T-shirts for the whole family at the Hard Rock Cafe. One con- sequence of Kenny's having had polio as a child is that his left foot is a size 5 1h and his right foot a size 7. If he wants a comfortable pair of shoes, he has to buy two pairs or order a pair consisting of a 5lh and a 7. Often he compromises, buytng sneakers in size 6 lh. David wears T-shirts and jeans as long as they are black, the color worn by Garth Brooks, his favorite country singer. Christopher is partial to name brands, and Bonita couldn't say no to a pair of eighty-nine- dollar Nikes he coveted last year. The Mertens spent about seven hundred dol- lars last year on clothing, and tried to economize on dry cleaning. "I dry-clean our winter coats and one or two dresses, but I avoid buying anything with a 'Dry- clean only' label," Bonita says. The Mertens' entertainment expenses usually come to a thousand dollars a year, but that amount was exceeded in 1994 when Kenny bought a mountain bike for every member of the family. The bikes (Bonita has yet to ride hers out of the driveway) cost two hundred and fifty- nine dollars apiece, and Kenny made the final payments on them earlier this year. This July, David rode Kenny's bike to a hardware store, and it was stolen whùe he was inside. Kenny yelled at David; Bonita told Kenny he was being too hard on him, and Kenny calmed down. Bonita and Kenny don't buy books or magazines, and they don't subscribe to newspapers. (They routinely borrowed Eunice and Tony's Des Moines Register until Tony's death, when Eunice can- celled it.) They rarely go to the movies- " T . " K b 00 expensIve, enny says- ut regu- larly rent movies and video games, usually at Blockbuster. For amusement, theyof- ten go to malls, just to browse, but when they get a serious urge to buy they go to antique stores. Kenny believes in "col- lectibles " His most treasured possession is an assortment of Currier & Ives dishes and glasses. The Mertens have never paid to send a fax, or to send a package via Federal Ex- press, and they aren't on-line: they have no computer. They even avoid spending money on postage: Kenny pays his bills in person. Bonita used to send out a lot of Christmas cards, but, she says, "I didn't get a whole lot back, so I quit that, too." They spend little on gifts, except to members of Bonita's family. Kenny knows how much Bonita loves red roses. Twenty-two years ago, he gave her one red rose after they had been mar- ried one month, two after they had been COLONIAL COPLEY 'John Singleton Copley in Amer- ica, " an exhibition of seventy-jive paintings at the Metropolitan Mu- seum untilJanuary 7th, corresponds to the first half of the portraitist's career, in Colonial Boston and New York.

Players Who Have Played For Real Madrid And Liverpool
Football players who played for Real Madrid and Liverpool? Footballers who have played for Real Madrid and Liverpool? Here we will take a look at players who have played for Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Premier League.
The 8 Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Liverpool
The Galacticos and the Reds have a fiery European rivalry so it's a surprise to see so many players who played for both clubs.
So here are the Real Madrid and Liverpool players that have played for both clubs. Which players who played for Real Madrid and Liverpool do you remember?
8. Nuri Sahin – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Liverpool
Sahin made just 10 appearances for Real Madrid and 12 appearances for Liverpool. He was by no means a prolific player but he still registered in teamsheets of both these clubs. Currently, he plays as a central midfielder for Süper Lig club Antalyaspor.
The Turkish midfielder initially signed a six-year deal with Los Blancos but he was sidelined for a considerable amount of time in this debut season. He was subsequently loaned to Liverpool in the following season. In late December his loan was terminated after 12 games and three goals and he rejoined Dortmund in January 2013.
On rejoining his former side, he said "I realised that as a footballer and a human being, I belong here 100 per cent. I noticed quickly that I only want to play for Dortmund."
7. Fernando Morientes – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
The Spanish striker was a prolific goalscorer during his eight trophy-laden years at the Santiago Bernabeu. He won three Champions League trophies and two La Liga titles and made 272 appearances for the Spanish side. Morientes found his place in the Madrid team under threat in 2002 after the arrival of Ronaldo and was loaned to AS Monaco at the start of 2003-04 season.
Morientes made 61 appearances for Liverpool during the 2005/06 season, scoring 12 goals and providing 1 assist. He was let go after just that one campaign.
6. Jerzy Dudek – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Liverpool
The Polish goalkeeper made 186 appearances for Liverpool and 12 appearances for Real Madrid. He will forever be remembered by the Liverpool fans for his heroic display in the 2005 Champions League final. In the following season, he lost his position to new arrival Pepe Anelka and he left Anfield in the 2007-08 season.
Dudek arrived to the Santiago Bernabeu as a backup goalkeeper for Spanish great Iker Casillas. He appeared in only 12 games for Los Blancos and played his final season under Jose Mourinho.
5. Alvaro Arbeloa – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
Arbeloa started his footballing career with the Real Madrid youth system. He ended up making 238 appearances for Real Madrid from 2004-06 and 2009-16, scoring 4 goals and providing 14 assists. He won two Champions League trophies and only one La Liga title with Los Blancos.
In 2007 he was signed by Rafael Benitez from Deportivo La Coruna for £2.6 million and his first start for Liverpool came against a Champions League start against Barcelona. He was given the task of stopping Lionel Messi and the plan worked and Liverpool won 2-1. He made 98 appearances for the Reds scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists.
4. Nicolas Anelka – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
Nicolas Anelka is one of the finest French strikers of all-time. In the summer of 1999, Anelka moved to Real Madrid for a £22.3 million transfer fee from Premier League giants Arsenal. He had a disastrous first season at Santiago Bernabeu scoring only seven goals in 33 appearances and a bust-up with manager Vicente del Bosque which led to a suspension by club president Lorenzo Sanz and made a return to his former club PSG the following season. He somehow managed to win a Champions League trophy in his one season with Real Madrid.
The Frenchman had a reputation as a footballing journeyman as he had already played for eight clubs. Anelka had an impressive loan spell at Liverpool under manager Gerard Houllier. He just made 22 appearances for the Reds scoring five goals and providing 2 assists.
3. Steve Mcmanaman – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
Another legendary English footballer whose name has been etched in both these club's history books. Steve Mcmanaman made 364 appearances for Liverpool between 1990 and 1999. He was a standout performer right from the start, tearing up the defence with his passing capabilities and is regarded as one of the best players of his generation.
Real Madrid came calling in 1999 and picked him up for free. It turned out to be a grand investment as the Englishman to win the Champions League twice with a foreign club.
He made 158 appearances for Real Madrid scoring 14 goals and creating 20 assists. His eventual exit was facilitated with the arrival of David Beckham, and he ended his career with Manchester City.
2. Michael Owen – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
The English man burst on-to the scene as a 17-year old with Liverpool where he scored 158 goals in 297 games. He won the European footballer of the Year award in 2001 which is equivalent to today's Ballon d'Or.
His love affair with the Reds ended when he joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2004 for free. Moving to Santiago Bernabeu seemed like a major step-up in his career at that time. Unfortunately, he failed to earn a starting spot in Madrid but had a highly respectable record of 18 goals in just 15 starts in his maiden and only season with Los Blancos
'I loved playing at Real Madrid,' Owen told Marca. ' I think I started 20 games, and I was a substitute for the same amount. But it was almost impossible for anyone to play all the minutes of all the matches with Raul, Ronaldo, Morientes.'
1. Xabi Alonso – Players who played for Real Madrid And Liverpool
One of the finest midfielders in world football and is the best among the players who played for both Real Madrid and Liverpool. He is a Champions League winner both at Liverpool and Madrid. He contributed heavily in Liverpool's two major trophy wins- the 2005 Champions League win and the 2006 FA Cup victory. The Spanish maestro commanded the middle of the Anfield pitch with his breathtaking vision and superior passing ability.
The Spain midfielder had five years at Liverpool before moving back to his homeland with Madrid for six seasons.
'I have feelings for both clubs,' Alonso said ahead of the final. 'I was lucky enough to win this trophy with both clubs so for me it's difficult to pick one and I will be happy whatever happens.'
Alonso has won 1 La Liga title, 2 Copa del Reys, 1 Spanish Cup and a Champions League trophy with Real Madrid.

← Ontario PC's elect Doug Ford their new leader, or did they?
Thanks to a Municipal Freedom of Information document obtained by Tony Saxon of Guelph Today, in the past five years the city spent $4.6 million to fire or dismiss some 44 employees for a variety of reasons.
But is this only the tip of the payoff picture?
For example, it does not reflect the costs of bonuses paid to managerial staff some of whom resigned or retired. This information is still locked up in the Human Resources vault. The city takes the position that it is protecting the privacy of those former employees who left or were pushed out of their jobs.
Provincial Sunshine list reported that she received more than $263,000 plus a $6,300 taxable benefit. This was slightly more than she received in 2015 but she only worked five months in 2016.
The 2016 Sunshine List revealed her package 10 months after the fact in March 2017.
Eight months later after her May resignation, the case for wrongful dismissal of former Chief Building Inspector, Bruce Poole, was settled between the city and Mr. Poole. He originally sued the city for $1 million in damages and the settlement remains confidential. Chief Administrative Officer, Ms. Pappert originally approved firing him.
What was Poole's terrible error after 20 years as Chief Building Inspector? Only doing his job informing the CAO that some 50 city building projects had no building permits.
It would appear that some people take their severance and disappear but only if they are earning less than $100K a year. They are able to escape any revelation of their discharge or voluntary leaving.
So, behind this cloak of secrecy, do the city authorities mask the reasons for the payout or the identity of who received it?
The trouble is these people receiving termination funds and benefits are public employees paid by the people and businesses. Should the public have the right to know about these payouts?
Not all terminated employees receive compensation packages.
Godwaldt said when an employee is terminated with cause, "where an employee has engaged in serious wrongdoing" such as fraud, they would not receive a severance package.
Compensation packages are accounted for financially as a contingency in the annual city budget, Godwaldt said.
He did not have any information that would compare Guelph's totals to those of similar-sized municipalities.
Let's examine the 2017 payout of $1,123,332 paid to nine employees. Dividing the payout by nine results in an average payout of $124,814. That seems like a large amount paid to non-identified employees.
They all didn't receive the $124,814. Because of the secrecy and privacy rules adapted by the administration, only those fired employees earning more than $100,000 will make the 2017 Sunshine List to be published this month.
Those citizens paying their share of taxes and user fees have only the Sunshine lists for information. Will they discover who and how much the terminated employees received for 2017? For those terminated employees who do not make the $100K public employee listing, no one will be able to access the information.
The two levels of employment complicate the process. Some 80 per cent of all city employees (excluding Police, Fire and EMS) are unionized and collectively bargain with management to determine their contracts and benefits.
The management belongs to a managerial association. This group manages terms of the compensation packages for new management employees when hired, during their employment and upon exiting the staff.
The only oversight of these compensation packages lies with the Mayor and members of council.
It has not been in the public interest to conceal and deny public participation in determining the compensation of managers.
If it weren't for the annual Sunshine list, we would never know what our managers are earning, including salaries, promotions, and bonuses based on performance and employment benefits enhancements.
Even then we have to perform some financial Ju Jitsu by comparingn the differences of remuneration of the Sunshine employees between say, 2016 and 2917 to discover the increase.
And I have yet to see a Sunshine salary comparison decrease instead of increasing..
Let's hope the next council will include liberating information that, for too long, has been concealed from the public.
Dropping the Integrity Commissioner and the Special Investigator of closed-session meeting of council would be a good first step.
Replace them with an Auditor General who would report to the DCAO of Finance and City Council. The A-G would investigate all city operations with the aim to create efficiencies, clarity and improved performance in all city departments.
Most important, rationalize operations with a view to reduce operational overhead and rebuild the capital funding budget.
I have head from city officials the person responsible for the Wyndham Street bridge fiasco had left his/her position some time ago. Any chance of this individual receiving a financial package for their wonderful effort in the reconstruction of the road and bridge? I hope you appreciate my sarcasm.
William Costigan: His name is Don Kudo, an engineer. No way of finding out whether he received a severance package as the city does not identify those employees who were discharged or resigned. All we get his a number paid out during the year. I can understand the privacy issue but commingled with the figures are some hefty contract settlements. One is the payout to former CAO Ann Pappert who council gave a retroactive performance bonus of $27K and four months later she resigned. She left the city May 26, 2016. The 2016 Provincial Sunshine List showed she received $263K plus a $6,300 taxable bonus for five months work.
Gerry, yes the public has the right to know about these payouts! Here we go! City of Guelph lays off 18 recycling employees. https://globalnews.ca/news/4090917/guelph-city-employees/ "The report showed the facility's annual operating budget was $4.3 million, but the city only makes about $2.3 million in revenue from the sale of recyclables." 18 WPO (Waste Packer Operators, 'garbage truck operators'), all hired based on NEPOTISM, make $27.86 / hour plus full benefits. This is public record. http://guelph.ca/wp-content/uploads/CUPE_241_Agreement.pdf Why is the City and CUPE 241 laying off 18 sorters who only made $14. – $15.33 / hour with no benefits? The sorters have families in need more than the WPO's. Garbage in Garbage out!

Brexit clashes, UK blames EU: Brussels seeks lion's share
Written by Sonila Elezi 2 Dhjetor 2020
Following the postponement of talks between the United Kingdom and the European Union on reaching an agreement which will follow the exit of the British Union and which will establish the rules of economic exchanges after 31 December, we are still today faced with a situation not of agreement. Britain has blamed Europe for the failure of the talks. "Trade talks on Brexit are still stalled on fisheries issues, governance rules and a contentious resolution, because the European Union is demanding a lot," said Michael Gove, a British government official in charge of Brexit. He added that negotiators are trying to reach an agreement to avert a potential crisis after Britain formally leaves the European Union later this year. "The European Union is still demanding the lion's share of fishing in our waters - which is unfair given that we are leaving the EU. The European Union still wants us to be connected to the way it does things. "The European Union is taking advantage of the moment that if there is any kind of dispute, not to tear everything down, but to impose harsh restrictions on us and I do not think that is right," Gove said. A trade deal would not only guarantee trade, but also support peace in Northern Ireland, although some disagreements are almost certain at the busiest EU-Britain border crossings. REL warns that if no agreement is reached, next year will start with great uncertainty and tariffs on British and European goods.
Merkel demands agreement at all costs
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, on the other hand, said that Britain and the European Union would set a bad example if they failed to reach an agreement on their future relations, but reiterated that the European bloc does not want an agreement at any cost. Britain has angered the European Union with a bill that violates some parts of the agreement that allowed Britain to leave the European bloc in January.
The bill in question gives the UK the power to amend some parts of the trade agreement with Northern Ireland. "I hope we will reach a contractual agreement. "We, Britain and the EU member states, are countries based on the same values, so it would not be a good example for the world if we did not reach an agreement," Merkel said in a virtual meeting with members. of EU committees. However, she has insisted that agreement should not necessarily be reached. "We have made it clear that we do not need an agreement at any cost. "We want one, but otherwise we will take the necessary measures - in each case, the agreement is in everyone's interest," she said. If no agreement is reached, next year will start with great uncertainty and tariffs for British and European goods. This will hurt both sides, but the biggest burden will fall on Britain, which carries out half of its trade with EU countries.
