«You shall be heard!? A Conference about how (not) to share personal narratives»
Vest-Agder museet ønsker velkommen til en konferanse om muligheter og utfordringer når personlige historier tas i mot og formidles videre. Konferansen finner sted i Kristiansand 12. og 13. april 2018.
Konferansen sendes direkte her.
Konferansen belyser temaet fra tre ulike innfallsvinkler, fordelt over to dager. Første dagen arrangeres på Kilden, andre på Bystranda Scandic Hotell, og begge lokaler er plassert sentralt i Kristiansand.
Torsdag, 12. april vil formiddagen være viet de politiske endringene vi ser i Europa den siste tiden, og konsekvensene disse har for kulturinstitusjoner og andre aktører som ønsker å formidle stemmer og meninger som kan være uønskede av myndighetene.
Om ettermiddagen vil psykologer sette fokus på hvordan skam og åpenhet er knyttet til identitetsutvikling. Vi vil få høre om konsekvensene for dem som velger å dele sin hemmelighet med et større publikum, og hvilken betydning dette kan ha i et lokalsamfunn.
Dagen avsluttes med en filosofisk-inspirert middag med Henrik Syse på restauranten Barbarossa i Kristiansand sentrum.
Fredag, 13. april vil starte med to foredrag, før det gis anledning til å få også praktisk opplæring i workshops. Dagen handler om de sentrale aspektene som er viktige for alle museer og kulturaktører som ønsker å jobbe med lokalsamfunn og vanskelige saker. Hva er kunnskapsstatus akkurat nå, hva er det som fungerer, og hvordan kan vi bli enda bedre?
Vær med på foredragene, filosofisk-inspirert middag og workshops, og møt

ENGLISH VERSION AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
We are pleased to announce a conference about the possibilities and challenges entailed in the sharing of personal narratives, 12th and 13th of April 2018 in Kristiansand.
How museums can museums contribute to a society where multiple voices are heard, multiple perspectives are revealed and more people are – and feel – included and recognized? This is the main question we want to explore during two days.
International speakers will reflect on political changes in Europe and the consequences for museums and other cultural actors who want to present a multitude of voices, also the one who might not be wished by the authorities.
Psychologists will shed light on how shame and openness are related to identity development, and we shall hear more about the consequences sharing one´s secret with the public might have for the persons involved and the local society.
Last but not least, we will address questions important for all museums and cultural actors who want to work with local societies and difficult issues – what is the status of knowledge right now, what works and how can we get even better?
PLEASE FIND THE INTERACTIVE PROGRAM AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION HERE:
You_shall_be_heard_2018
The registration is open until 23rd of March.

After saying her estranged husband was a threat, she went missing. Now he's charged with murder.

The estranged husband of a Connecticut woman whose disappearance last spring set off a statewide search and shocked the affluent community where she lived has been arrested and charged with murder.
Connecticut State Police announced Tuesday that Fotis Dulos was facing counts of murder, felony murder and kidnapping in the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five who went missing after dropping her children off at school on a May morning last year.
Dulos's girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, and a local lawyer who represented him in civil cases, Kent Mawhinney, were also charged Tuesday with conspiracy to commit murder.
Local media aired footage of Dulos, 52, leaving his home in a caravan of police cars on Tuesday morning. Later in the afternoon, police could be seen escorting Dulos, handcuffed and wearing a gray T-shirt, into a squad car and transporting him to jail.
An attorney for Dulos, Norm Pattis, said the arrest warrants revealed a "shocking lack of confidence by the state." He also suggested that Dulos's wife may still be alive.
"We categorically deny that Mr. Dulos had any involvement in the disappearance of his wife, Jennifer. And we defy the state to prove that she is in fact dead," Pattis told reporters Tuesday evening. "If this is all the state's got, we wonder why it bothered."
Bail was set at $6 million for Dulos and $2 million for Troconis. They were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
"We're prepared to defend this case," Andrew Bowman, an attorney for Troconis, told reporters.
Police were unable to locate Mawhinney earlier in the day but said in an afternoon news conference that he had been taken into custody and was on his way to prisoner processing.
An attorney who has represented Mawhinney in previous cases did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The arrests open a new front in the closely watched case, which drew national attention after Jennifer Dulos vanished from New Canaan, a town 45 miles north of New York City that ranks among the wealthiest in the country and seldom experiences violent crime.
The 50-year-old's disappearance on May 24 sent state and federal law enforcement scouring the region, aided by drones, helicopters and cadaver dogs in an operation that continued for months. Her car was discovered by police shortly after her disappearance, though she was not inside. Her remains have not been found.
Carrie Luft, a friend of Jennifer Dulos's, thanked authorities for the arrests in a statement Tuesday and asked for people to respect the family's privacy.
"Although we are relieved that the wait for these charges is over, for us there is no sense of closure," she said. "Nothing can bring Jennifer back. We miss her every day and will forever mourn her loss."
In arrest warrants made public Tuesday, police alleged that Dulos killed his wife in her garage sometime between 8:05 a.m. and 10:25 a.m. on May 24, then tried to clean up the scene with paper towels and other supplies from the house.
Cellphone data and a chain of surveillance footage collected by investigators showed that Fotis Dulos and Troconis acted together to cover up the alleged murder, driving to Hartford later that evening to dump black plastic bags filled with evidence in trash cans, according to the warrants. The evidence included a bloodstained sponge, plastic zip ties and "what appeared to be cut clothing and undergarments with a blood-like substance," police said.
Later, in interviews with investigators, Troconis gave conflicting accounts of what she and Fotis Dulos were doing the day Jennifer Dulos disappeared, according to the warrants.
Detectives also discovered handwritten documents they called "alibi scripts" in a trash bin outside Fotis Dulos's business, in which Dulos and Troconis outlined their activities that day in hourly increments but omitted their trip to Hartford, police said.
Mawhinney, a close friend of Dulos's, was mentioned in the "alibi scripts." Phone records showed that Dulos called Mawhinney once on the evening before his wife disappeared and again around the time police said he was in Hartford, according to the warrants. Mawhinney initially denied having any contact with Dulos at the time, then said he did not remember, according to police.
She told a court her estranged husband was a threat. Now she's missing.
Jennifer Dulos's marriage had disintegrated years before she went missing, and the couple was slogging through a bitter divorce. By summer 2017, things had become so bad that she feared her husband would harm her or her children, she told a judge at the time.
"I am afraid for my safety," she said in a sworn affidavit from June 2017 obtained by Fox 61. Dulos alleged that her husband had "exhibited irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling behavior."
She described an unstable relationship, with her five children caught in a fierce struggle and her husband harboring a slew of "sickening revenge fantasies" against others, including a reference to dropping a brick on a former client's home from an airplane.
Fotis Dulos had a Greek passport in the past, and Jennifer Dulos wrote that she was concerned her children would be taken to Greece. In 2017, she moved into a rental home after Fotis Dulos said his girlfriend and her daughter would live together in the family home.
Fotis Dulos and Troconis were first arrested in June of last year on charges of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution, after police found Jennifer Dulos's blood on discarded clothing in various locations, including in Hartford. Police said they had video of Fotis Dulos dumping garbage bags. Blood was also found in Jennifer Dulos's home. Fotis Dulos and Troconis pleaded not guilty to the charges at the time and were released on bail.

CTE stands for Career and Technical Education. They, along with many other groups from around Florida, set up their displays, and explained their organization and plans to many observers and state legislators. As the State legislators came around, we were able to explain to them the importance of Family and Consumer Science classes and FCCLA in today's school curriculum.
One of our National Officers for FCCLA, Jessica Hagood, also from Florida, was on hand to talk to the legislators. We also had students from Ponce De Leon High School come and help support the group. Two of our state officers, Kelsey Livesly and Kendra Bennett, were also there.
We all had a great time as we got to meet many of the State Legislators and learn about many of the other groups from around Florida.

Claude Puel has come under increasing pressure at the King Power Stadium in recent weeks as the Leicester City fanbase have been growing tired of his side's style of football and inconsistent results.
The Foxes are currently 11th in the Premier League table and have gone without a win in their last five games in all competitions – a run that includes having been knocked out of the FA Cup by League Two outfit Newport County.
The Foxes have been improved in recent weeks though and were good value for a hard-fought draw against title-chasers Liverpool.
Football FanCast's Billy Meyers and Will Jones have debated whether or not Leicester fans are right to want the French manager out of their club.
I would say that the Claude Puel situation at Leicester is a difficult one. For a start, the argument that the club is fulfilling expectations and that the fans can't expect much more in terms of league position is a solid one.
The Foxes currently sit 11th, just six points off seventh where they were sat a few weeks back before a poor run of form set in, which is perhaps their ceiling right now and one that is definitely achievable.
Puel's squad is too talented to go down, so perhaps he could have focused on the cup competitions a bit more to get the fans onside, which seems to be the main issue. The fans pay to see exciting, winning football, even more so at home, where Leicester have won just four times all season.
In that respect, they are right to want him out and I think he has already peaked with the Foxes. Although, they should keep him until a decent replacement becomes available.
Leicester, and the club's fans, should stick with Puel. The club are about where they should be right now, and all things considered, in what has been a trying season on and off the pitch, little more could realistically be expected from Puel's side.
The former Southampton boss needs more time, and transfer windows, to make this squad his own. With that done, the Foxes can realistically look to force their way up the table a little. Leicester need stability right now, and Puel, whilst he may not be the most charismatic manager in the league, provides that.

The computer or mobile screen on which you are reading this exists because many years ago, scientists discovered electricity and devised ways to utilise it. In simple words, electrical engineering teaches how to study electricity, how it can be used for different purposes and the different equipment in which its used.
Electricity is such a powerful resource and its uses are so many that a number of sub disciplines have branched out in it. Some of them are Electronics, Microelectronics, Signal Processing, Telecommunications and Computers.
Students enrolling into electrical engineering courses usually gain a deeper understanding about electrical networks, electrical energy distribution systems, computer fundamentals and electromagnetic theory, as well as various devices. Electronics, Energy resources and Conversion, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Applied Instrumentation, Microprocessors and peripheral devices are some of the subjects that this study touches upon.
Following are some of the top colleges to pursue Electrical Engineering.
Thanks to the mammoth-like size of the electronics industry and the rapidly increasing use of electricity, Career opportunities in Electrical Engineering are also increasing.
After completing a degree in electrical engineering, you can choose from a variety of industries to work for, which include Aerospace industry, Automobile industry, Power generation industry, Electronics industry and Defence.
What you get paid as an electrical engineer will ideally depend on your experience as well as the skill sets that you have gained. Different industries have different pay scales for electrical engineers. Similarly, whether you opt for public sector or private companies will also play a role in the amount you draw as your annual salary.


is an international journal of Dipterology, established in 1990, publishing preferably in English, original research reports and reviews, essays or point-of-view, mini reviews, and short notes, from the fields of taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography. Evolutionary aspects within these topics based on morphology, physiology, ecology, ethology, and palaeontology are also considered.
Dipterological Research will provide an international forum for all dipterologists. Its prime purpose is the publication of original, high quality research papers on descriptions of new taxa, taxonomic revisions, synonymic notes, phylogenetic reconstructions and most interesting new faunistic records in all groups of Diptera from all parts of the world, while ecology, ethology, applied entomology and so forth will have a minor part in the journal.
Dipterological Research will be published quarterly from February 1993, and circulated only by subscription.

BayWa r.e. recognised as "Outstanding Developer"
BayWa r.e., has been named "Outstanding Developer" at the inspiratia Energy & Sustainability Awards 2021, recognised for its expertise in the development of innovative solar projects and applications across Europe.
The first edition of inspiratia's Energy & Sustainability Awards celebrates the achievements of pioneering companies and individuals within the global infrastructure and renewables industry.
Dr. Benedikt Ortmann, Global Director of Solar Projects at BayWa r.e. commented: "We are delighted to have been named "Outstanding Developer" at the inspiratia Energy & Sustainability Awards. Solar energy is a key pillar in helping to propel the global energy transition forward and avoid catastrophic climate change. It is an honour to be recognised for our contributions to solar development, and as all eyes turn to COP26 this week, it has never been more vital to expand the renewable energy portfolio and secure a sustainable future for our planet."
BayWa r.e. submitted the following projects:
The landmark Witnica Solar Project, Poland
The 64.6MWp Witnica project is Poland's first subsidy-free, PPA-backed commercial-scale solar installation.
Witnica demonstrates that solar power can be competitive with conventional energies, without any subsidies. The Witnica PPA agreement further marks a new era of clean and sustainable corporate energy sourcing, serving as an economic structure for a fixed price hedge against rising electricity costs. This represents an important step, for Poland and for the whole of Europe, towards 100% clean energy and the successful implementation of the sustainable energy transition.
BayWa r.e. completed construction of Witnica earlier this year and later sold it to Alternus Energy Group.
Market-leading expertise in the development of Agri-PV projects
In particular, BayWa r.e. has been commended for the construction of Babberich Agri-PV system in the Netherlands which was completed in July 2020 and is the largest and technologically most sophisticated fruitvoltaic solution in Europe.
The project, which has a capacity of 2.67 MWp and is spread over 3.3 hectares of a raspberry farm, provides a stable climate for growing fruits and generates green energy in tandem. The Babberich Agri-PV system was awarded the "smarter E AWARD" earlier this year, and this recognition further highlights BayWa r.e.'s expertise in the development of Agri-PV projects across Europe. The company aims to develop 250 MWp Agri-PV by 2025.
The development of the three largest Floating-PV parks outside of Asia
The completion of the two largest within record time, the 41.1 MWp Sellingen park and the 29.8 MWp Uivermeertjes park earlier this year, brought BayWa r.e.'s European portfolio to 11 Floating-PV projects. In total they have a capacity of over 180 MWp. The portfolio also includes the 27.4 MWp Bomhofsplas park, which is the third largest project outside of Asia.
A key benefit of Floating-PV is that by using unused bodies of water, it can make an important contribution to the green energy revolution, without competing against other uses for land. In designing and building Floating-PV projects, BayWa r.e. also ensures minimal impact on the surrounding ecology and biodiversity.

O árabe saidi (xenônimo: صعيدى [sˤɑˈʕiːdi], em árabe egípcio: [sˤeˈʕiːdi]), também conhecido como árabe egípcio superior, é uma variante de árabe falada no Egito, mais precisamente no Alto Egito, uma faixa de terra em ambos os lados do rio Nilo que se estende entre Núbia e rio abaixo (norte) até o Baixo Egito.

Compartilhando características linguísticas tanto com o árabe egípcio e quanto a língua árabe clássica do Alcorão, o árabe saidi está particularmente próximo do árabe sudanês. Falantes de árabe egípcio nem sempre entendem variantes mais conservadoras do árabe saidi. Seus subdialetos são o árabe egípcio médio e o árabe egípcio superior.

Embora tenha pouco prestígio nacional, continua sendo amplamente falado no sul do Egito e também no norte (Grande Cairo) por migrantes do sul que também se adaptaram ao árabe egípcio. Por exemplo, o caso genitivo da variante saidi é geralmente substituído pelo bitāʿ da variante egípcia, mas a realização de /q/ como [ɡ] é mantida (normalmente realizada em árabe egípcio como [ʔ]).

The main reason people don't take a chance at travelling is because they are afraid they can't afford it. But travelling doesn't require you to save up for years on end just to travel to a handful of locations; most travelers make their money while they are travelling.
TEACHING – Schools all over Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam (plus many more) are looking for English speaking teachers. You don't even need to be certified, just good with children and trustworthy. There are also many volunteer opportunities in schools that let you work in return for food and accommodation.
FRUIT-PICKING – This a popular money maker amongst backpackers passing through Australia and payment is usually per kilo of fruit. Or, again, you can volunteer for food and accommodation.
TRAVEL BLOGGER – It's doesn't bring the biggest income unless your content is incredibly popular, it takes time and dedication to run a successful travel blog but it could potentially earn you a fair amount of money just for sharing your travel experiences online.
RESORTS – Resorts from all over the world are almost always willing to temporarily hire travelers for various positions including front desk, activity management, and restaurant work.
ONLINE SELLING – If you have picked up some unique valuables on your travels you can set up a website or shop on eBay on which you can sell your goods to help fund your travels. If online selling isn't an option, you can always sell your goods in person i.e. from your vehicle or setting up your own pop up stall.
BARTENDING – Many bars will pay cash in hand for travelers who are willing to stay in one spot for a while. Bars in resorts and near hostels typically pay the best.
TEACH AN INSTRUMENT – You can put your musical talents to use by teaching in small schools. Children in developing countries will love you for it, and it's a fun and rewarding way of funding your travels.
CRUISE SHIP – Working on a cruise ship allows you to travel and work precisely at the same time. Cruise ships are very often looking for bartenders and waiters.

Iowa routs No. 12 Michigan women 89-67 after 5-hour delay
Feb. 25, 2021 at 8:41 pm Updated Feb. 25, 2021 at 8:41 pm
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Caitlin Clark hit seven 3-pointers and scored 27 points, plus nine assists and Iowa rolled past No. 12 Michigan 89-67 on Thursday night in a game delayed five hours.
The game, featuring the Big Ten's top two scorers in Michigan forward Naz Hillmon (25.9 points per game) and Clark (27.3), was originally scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. CT. It ended at almost 10:18 p.m. Hillmon scored 24 points.
A statement stated "Both institutions have decided to delay the game in conjunction with COVID-19 protocols and will play later today if possible. The decision to pause was made jointly by the Michigan and Iowa Department of Athletics and the athletic medicine staffs in consultation with the Big Ten Conference."
Kate Martin and Monika Czinano scored 15 points apiece for Iowa (13-7, 9-7 Big Ten Conference). Martin had eight assists as the Hawkeyes had 26 on 32 baskets.
Leigha Brown went 10 for 10 from the foul line and scored 16 points for Michigan (13-3, 8-3).
Clark hit three triples and scored 11 points in the first quarter while Michigan was 4 of 17. The Hawkeyes increased that 25-10 lead to 49-30 at the half, hitting 10 of 16 from 3-point range and shooting 65.5%.
The lead reached as much as 34 points early in the fourth quarter. The Wolverines shot 35.6% while Iowa was going 16 of 27 from 3-point range (59.3%).
Michigan is scheduled to finish the regular season at Minnesota on Sunday. Iowa has two games left, playing at Wisconsin on Sunday and at No. 11 Indiana on March 3.

K. Patel Phyto Extractions Adopts Senna through ABC's Adopt-an-Herb Program
AUSTIN, Texas (July 10, 2019) — The American Botanical Council (ABC) announces the adoption of senna (Senna alexandrina) by K. Patel Phyto Extractions Pvt. Ltd. through ABC's Adopt-an-Herb program. With its adoption, K. Patel Phyto Extractions helps ABC expand its nonprofit research and educational mission and keep its unique HerbMedPro database updated with the latest scientific and clinical research on these botanical ingredients.
HerbMedPro is a comprehensive, interactive online database that provides access to important scientific and clinical research data on the uses and health effects of more than 265 herbs, spices, medicinal plants, and medicinal fungi.
"Through the Adopt-an-Herb initiative we are proud to be a part of maintaining the database about senna and contribute to sharing information and knowledge about senna," said Viraj Patel, director of business development for K. Patel Phyto Extractions.
"ABC is deeply grateful for the adoption of senna by K. Patel Phyto Extractions," said Mark Blumenthal, ABC's founder and executive director. "Senna is an ancient and classical herbal drug, the medicinal properties of which have been recognized for millennia, including in official pharmacopeial monographs. Even today, senna extracts, and the sennosides found in senna leaf and fruit are approved by various government agencies and pharmacopeias as safe and effective stimulant laxatives."
Blumenthal added: "The K. Patel adoption of senna on ABC's powerful HerbMedPro database will ensure that new scientific and clinical research on this classic medicinal plant will be more available to researchers, health professionals, industry members, and other stakeholders in the international medicinal plant community."
About Senna
Native to tropical areas of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India, senna is a drought-tolerant shrub that typically reaches 1 to 2 meters (3.3 to 6.6 ft) in height. The plant has small yellow flowers and compound leaves with four to eight pairs of leaflets that form sharp edges and branching stems that taper to a point. These features likely explain the plant's common name, which comes from the Arabic word sanaa, meaning "thorny bush."
Senna has been used in traditional medicine systems of Asia for centuries. Ninth-century Arabian physician Serapion the Elder is believed to be one of the first to recommend senna for use as a medicine. In Ayurvedic medicine, senna leaf formulations such as tea preparations are used to treat constipation and digestive diseases. Similarly, senna leaf is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat excessive heat associated with constipation and abdominal pain.
Senna is still primarily used for its laxative properties. In the United States, senna is used in over-the-counter (OTC) nonprescription drug products for the treatment of constipation and irregularity. Modern research has examined the use of senna preparations — particularly the plant's dianthrone glycosides sennoside A and B — for chronic constipation, medication-induced constipation, and colonoscopy preparation. Results from human clinical trials suggest that senna preparations are useful for these conditions.
The adoption page for senna can be found here, and its HerbMedPro record is available here.
About K. Patel Phyto Extractions Pvt. Ltd.
K. Patel Phyto Extractions Pvt. Ltd. has been in the business of Indian botanical extracts and phytochemicals for more than 14 years. It specializes in manufacturing innovative and quality-driven products, including its flagship senna extract, according to the company. K. Patel Phyto Extractions strives for a sustainable supply chain and runs various programs to educate farmers on best agricultural and plant collection practices. The company notes that it operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that produces extracts and phytochemicals that meet the regulatory standards of various countries around the world.
About Adopt-an-Herb and HerbMedPro
K. Patel Phyto Extractions is one of 62 companies that have supported ABC's educational efforts to collect, organize, and disseminate reliable, traditional, science-based, and clinical information on herbs, medicinal plants, medicinal fungi, and other botanical- and fungi-based ingredients through the Adopt-an-Herb program. This program encourages companies, organizations, and individuals to "adopt" one or more specific herbs for inclusion and ongoing maintenance in the HerbMedPro database. To date, 69 herbs have been adopted.
Each adopted herb is continuously researched for new articles and scientific and clinical studies, ensuring that its HerbMedPro record stays current and robust. The result is an unparalleled resource not only for researchers, health professionals, industry, and consumers, but for all members of the herbal and dietary supplements community.
HerbMedPro is available to ABC members at the Academic level and higher. Its "sister" site, HerbMed, is free and available to the general public. In keeping with the ABC's position as an independent research and education organization, herb adopters do not influence the scientific information that is compiled for their respective adopted herbs.

This is pretty damn cool. In the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, the CW Television Network has taken out an innovative new ad. The company famed for shows like Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural has decided to take live tweets to print.
This bold new ad campaign only appears in 1 000 copies distributed across New York and Los Angeles. According to Mashable's report, the ad is powered by a custom-built, "smartphone-like Android device" that has an LED screen with 3G connectivity. The device is enclosed in two thick, stiff sheets inside the magazine.
"We're always trying to look at things that are first to market, that are really going to let people know that we are a digital network and that digital media is part of our DNA," Rick Haskins, executive vice president of marketing and digital programs at the CW, to Mashable in an interview.
According to the report, the network's media agency, OMD (a division of Omnicom Media Group), pitched the idea to CW, and then Twitter was brought on board to help execute it.
Twitter's vice president for brand strategy, Joel Lunenfeld, to the New York Times that more television networks are using the platform to introduce new programmes to get the audience familiar with it before it runs on television. Fox used Twitter to preview the season premiere of "Raising Hope". Lunenfeld argues that seeing something on Twitter helps the chances of people turning on their televisions to watch.

Number 10 appoints BIS' Jennifer Poole to boost digital comms
September 21, 2011 by Matt Cartmell
Downing Street has poached the Department for Business Innovation and Skills' head of digital engagement to bolster its web capabilities.
Downing Street: Digital move
Jennifer Poole joined Downing Street on Monday to take the role of news and content manager, with a brief to improve Number 10's website copy and other content.
She is working directly for Nick Jones in the nine-strong digital comms team. Jones joined earlier this month as interim head of digital at Number 10 and the Cabinet Office, although he also continues in his existing role of interactive director for the COI.
One insider said of Poole's hire: 'They have been a bit low on resources after the large restructuring. She's a good strong content person.'
Another recent appointment to the team is Anthony Simon, who joined as senior digital campaigns manager in August. The moves follows the merging of Downing Street and the Cabinet Office comms units into a single team.
A Downing Street source said: 'Digital comms is a completely merged team because it now supports Number 10, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Cabinet Office's work.'
Poole had worked at BIS for two years and was previously a senior speechwriter at the former Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. She has also worked as a ministerial speechwriter at the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
It is understood that Jones is expected to be working closely with Michael Warren's cross-government campaigns unit.
The news comes as Cabinet Office content manager Claire Collins goes on maternity leave, after which she will return to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, from where she was seconded.

Cormoran Strike has a more dramatic back story than your average television private eye. His dad's a rock star, his mom was a fashion model who died in mysterious circumstances and he's a war hero who lost his left foot in Afghanistan. In "C.B. Strike," beginning Friday on Cinemax, we meet him as he agrees to investigate the death of a young supermodel.
The show's interest in the wages of celebrity makes sense: It's based on the mystery novels J.K. Rowling began writing, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, after her "Harry Potter" books made her one of the world's best-known authors. The seven episodes of "C.B. Strike" (called simply "Strike" in Britain, where it was shown first on BBC) are adapted from the three Galbraith novels she's finished so far.
It's in the P.I. subgenre that pairs a damaged, brooding, headstrong detective who doesn't sweat whether clients can pay with an organized, fiscally prudent female assistant. She could get a more regular, better-paying job, but she finds the work interesting and the boss attractive. A good recent comparison would be with the British series "Case Histories," which happened to be based on books by Kate Atkinson, to whose work Ms. Rowling's mystery novels have been compared.
Strike is played by Tom Burke, seen in the BBC "Musketeers" series, and his new receptionist and legwoman, Robin, is played by Holliday Grainger, currently appearing in Showtime's "Patrick Melrose." They're both good, particularly Ms. Grainger, who balances sardonic efficiency with intimations of smoky passion, and their interplay is the main reason to watch the show.
It doesn't quite make up, however, for the deficiencies of the mysteries, which are convoluted in conception and prosaic in presentation. Clues fall from the sky, obtained offscreen between scenes, and amazing leaps of deduction are made. In the initial, three-episode story, "The Cuckoo's Calling," Strike settles into a chair near the end and runs through all the major clues in his head. It's both his case-cracking method and the show's attempt to convince us that there's a coherent solution.
There's also the British casting bonus. Excellent performers like Tara Fitzgerald (a nervous witness), Martin Shaw (a creepy uncle) and, most notably, Sian Phillips (a victim's mother) turn up in supporting roles.
Ms. Rowling's skill at sketching in characters translates well to the series, but it's harder to capture the qualities of tone, atmosphere and phrasing that, in the books, make up for the looseness of the mystery plot. "C.B. Strike" is still looking for the spell that would accomplish that.

Pfizer to acquire Medivation for $14B
Pfizer and Medivation have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Pfizer will acquire Medivation, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing small molecules for oncology, for $81.50 a share in cash for a total enterprise value of approximately $14 billion.
The Boards of Directors of both companies have unanimously approved the merger, which is expected to be immediately accretive to Pfizer's Adjusted Diluted EPS upon closing, approximately $0.05 accretive in the first full year after close with additional accretion and growth anticipated thereafter. Pfizer does not expect the transaction to impact its current 2016 financial guidance.
"The proposed acquisition of Medivation is expected to immediately accelerate revenue growth and drive overall earnings growth potential for Pfizer," said Ian Read, chairman and chief executive officer, Pfizer. "The addition of Medivation will strengthen Pfizer's Innovative Health business and accelerate its pathway to a leadership position in oncology, one of our key focus areas, which we believe will drive greater growth and scale of that business over the long-term. This transaction is another example of how we are effectively deploying our capital to generate attractive returns and create shareholder value."
Medivation's portfolio includes XTANDI (enzalutamide), an androgen receptor inhibitor that blocks multiple steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway within the tumor cell. XTANDI is a leading novel hormone therapy in the U.S. and generated approximately $2.2 billion in worldwide net sales over the past four quarters, as recorded by Astellas Pharma, with whom Medivation entered an agreement in 2009 to develop XTANDI globally and commercialize jointly in the U.S. Since its approval for advanced metastatic prostate cancer by the FDA in 2012, XTANDI has treated 64,000 men to date in the U.S. alone. Medivation and Astellas have built a robust development program for XTANDI, including two phase III studies in non-metastatic prostate cancer and another phase III study in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It is also being further developed in phase II studies for the potential treatment of advanced breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.
In addition, Medivation has a promising, wholly-owned, late-stage oncology pipeline, which includes two development-stage oncology assets, talazoparib and pidilizumab. Talazoparib, currently in a phase III study for the treatment of BRCA-mutated breast cancer, has the potential to be a highly potent PARP inhibitor and could be efficacious across several additional tumors. Pidilizumab is an immuno-oncology (IO) asset being developed for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other hematologic malignancies and has the potential to be combined with IO therapies in Pfizer's portfolio.
"We believe the combination with Pfizer is the right next step in our growth trajectory and is a testament to the passion and dedication by which the Medivation team has delivered on our mission to profoundly transform patients' lives through medically innovative therapies," said David Hung, M.D., founder, president and CEO of Medivation. "This compelling transaction will deliver significant and immediate value to our stockholders and provides new opportunities for our employees as part of a larger company. We believe that Pfizer is the ideal partner to extend the reach of our blockbuster XTANDI franchise and take our promising, late-stage assets—talazoparib and pidiluzimab—to their next stages of development so that they can be made available to patients as quickly as possible."
"The proposed acquisition of Medivation will build upon Pfizer's success with our IBRANCE (palbociclib) launch in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and with our strong immuno-oncology portfolio, and will transform Pfizer into a leading oncology company," said Albert Bourla, group president, Pfizer Innovative Health. "IBRANCE and XTANDI are anchor brands in breast and prostate cancer respectively, giving Pfizer leadership in two hormone-driven cancers. Similar to IBRANCE in the breast cancer setting, XTANDI is being explored for its potential to move from metastatic prostate cancer to treat earlier stages of non-metastatic prostate cancer.
"In addition, Medivation's portfolio within prostate cancer and across diverse tumors will complement Pfizer's broad IO portfolio. Finally, Medivation adds commercial scale to better compete with other top tier oncology companies in advance of the potential emergence of Pfizer's IO pipeline expected in the next few years. Together, we believe Pfizer and Medivation can bring the full force of our combined research and resources to combat two of the most common cancers, as well as speed cures and make accessible breakthrough medicines to patients, redefining life with cancer."
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the U.S. and a "Top 10" killer worldwide. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer and prostate cancer are among the top three cancers by annual incidence in the U.S. There are several parallels between breast and prostate cancer, including the incidence of prostate cancer in the U.S., which is similar to that of breast cancer with approximately 280,000 cases per year.
Pfizer expects to finance the transaction with existing cash.
A subsidiary of Pfizer will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Medivation common stock for $81.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes. The closing of the tender offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including U.S. antitrust clearance and the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of Medivation common stock. The merger agreement contemplates that Pfizer will acquire any shares of Medivation that are not tendered into the offer through a second-step merger, which will be completed promptly following the closing of the tender offer. Pfizer expects to complete the acquisition in the Third- or Fourth-Quarter 2016.

Home Blog PC Tech & Gaming News Monitors Gigabyte Aorus CV27Q Reveal
Gigabyte Aorus CV27Q Reveal
Last updated on December 11, 2019 by Chris Jones
Gigabyte recently introduced their latest monitor – the Aorus CV27Q. Branded as the world's first tactical monitor, this claim is due to features such as an "aim stabilizer" and "black equalizer". This monitor will support up to a 1440p resolution and an impressive 1ms response time – something that is extremely desirable when it comes to gaming.
Although not preferred by some, this monitor is curved. The Aorus CV27Q has a 1500R curved panel that they claim gives the user a better sense of immersion. This feature might not be for everybody but it can lead to some pretty nice workstations when used in multi-monitor settings.
What do these features mean for us?
To help cut through some of the jargon used to sell these monitors, it appears that the "aim stabilizer" aims to "counter the motion blur and enhance the gamer's visual clarity". This is similar to the impressive refresh rate that the monitor offers.
This monitor is also a FreeSync 2 display that supports HDR. This allows the monitor to adapt its refresh rate on the fly to match that of your GPU, this is great as it allows for a lot smoother gameplay to be achieved. Please take note, however, this is only compatible with AMD GPUs! Currently, this monitor is undergoing some testing with Nvidia to allow it to integrate their G-Sync program.
The "black equalizer" feature allows the monitor to display black areas with more contrast compared to lighter areas. Gigabyte states, this feature "divides the screen into 1,296 subareas and equalizes each subarea individually, so gamers can see the dark areas more clearly without having overexposure in the bright areas". Impressive before and after examples are available on their website.
What else is on offer?
Aside from the two features above, this monitor also has an impressive stock of other features. As is standard these days, the monitor comes equipped with a variety of connectivity ports but also includes two USB 3.0 ports as well as more than one 3.5mm jack. Features like these are now becoming more popular on monitors as they simply give users more and more options to choose from.
Another interesting addition is a version of Gigabytes active noise-canceling technology. This will allow for ambient noise to be reduced when listening through one of the monitor's included headphone jacks. This will allow you to hear ambient noises more clearly as well as communications from your teammates.
A more detailed list of the specs is as follows:
27-inch VA panel
2560×1440 (Quad HD)
FreeSync 2 HDR
1ms MPRT
400 nits brightness
3,000:1 typical contrast ratio
12,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
2x HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplayPort 1.4
It's such a mixed bag when it comes to selecting a monitor these days. Depending on the features you want, you may even be locked in by the graphics card you run. Once you have an idea of what you want in a monitor it starts to become a lot easier to choose.
This monitor looks like it would fit right in on most systems. With a 1440p resolution, FreeSync 2 HDR and a 165Hz refresh rate this is one of the more impressive listings we've seen.
What do you think? Are you sold on curved monitors? Do you find some of these features to be gimmicks rather than necessities? Let us know in the comments below, we love hearing your thoughts.

Why Isn't Therapy a Prerequisite For Marriage?
Elisabeth Ovesen Jul 16, 2020 6 min read
Men can no longer impress with merely looks or financial stability. You need to make mental health a priority.
My name is Elisabeth Ovesen, but you may know me by my pen name, Karrine Steffans.
Yes, that Karrine Steffans. In 2005, my book Confessions of a Video Vixen went straight to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and it was followed by numerous others. But that's ancient history. People grow. Things change. I love where my life is today — and what I'm learning.
Today, I spend the majority of my time working as a personal and professional performance coach for women, while slowly chipping away at a master's degree in psychology. At 42, I've come a long way from where I started — as it should be. But there are still miles to go, and many lives to live before it's all said and done.
In the five years since I published the final book as Karrine, things have evolved. Quite a bit for the better. And while I'm hopeful for the fate of Black love, I see one place where we need to have harder conversations.
We live in an era where brothers are challenging notions of gender conformity, redefining fatherhood, and doing the long, hard work of shedding generational trauma. I've not yet been in a relationship with that man. In fact, I've never played the love lottery and won a prize, much less hit the jackpot. But I know they're out there.
What would happen if more people made therapy a prerequisite for dating and marriage? How would our romantic choices and relationships change, and how much heartbreak could we avoid?
My mother's "all men are trash" rhetoric never sat well with my spirit. So, with the help of my therapist, I went back into those spaces most of us fear — those dark, dank corners of our past relationships, where everything we've ever learned about love, from the people who love us the most, has been wrong.
One constant I found is that I date mentally unstable men. When I'm not dating them, I'm marrying them. And whether I'm dating or marrying them, I'm ignoring their mental health issues — as well as my own.
The fact that it took me until I was in my forties to come to this conclusion is frightening, especially with my familial, personal, and relationship history with mental illness. But I'm not the only one. Asking my girlfriends what they're looking for in a man uncovered requirements like: good cook, family man, and financial security. None of my friends mentioned mental health, even though each of us suffers from some sort of mental or emotional disorder, and have been in relationships with men who have either been diagnosed with, or displayed signs of, serious mental health issues.
After decades of dating disasters, marital malfeasance, and loss, I finally decided it was time to make mental health as much of a priority as sexual and financial health. In fact, I'm drawing a line in the sand, putting my foot down, and flat-out demanding that my man sees a therapist at least once a month, and that we have quarterly couples therapy sessions, or else. Yes, it's an ultimatum. Women are now making sure our loved ones get screened for heart disease, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and more. Now we need to add one more to the checklist: seeing your therapist to gauge your mental health.
What would happen if more people made that a prerequisite for dating and marriage? How would our romantic choices and relationships change, and how much heartbreak could we avoid?
I've seen more than enough to know why it's necessary.
I grew up in a house with nine other people, including two uncles who weren't well. One of them was an alcoholic who soothed his unstable thoughts by guzzling fifths and pints of the gin. (Eventually, his alcoholism killed him.) My other uncle was into hard drugs, and often walked around the house talking nonsensically to himself. (Eventually, he was committed to a psychiatric hospital.) My father was absent during my early childhood, which made my uncles the most prominent male figures in my life — and set an example of manhood I'd later recreate in my dating and marital choices.
The women in my family also exhibited symptoms of mental illness. One of my aunts disappeared, leaving my cousin behind for my grandmother to raise. Years later, she showed up on my grandmother's doorstep, incoherent and talking about people chasing her and needing a place to hide. Alarmed by my aunt's behavior, my grandmother asked her to leave the house; mere hours later, my aunt was found dead and floating off St. Thomas' waterfront.
Even with all of these frightening examples, no one in my family ever said the words "mental health" to me. Even now, long after my uncles and aunt passed away, no one talks about them, their illnesses, or the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
The 14 years I've spent enrolled in weekly therapy is more than an act of self-care, but an act of willful defiance against my generational trauma. I will need my future partner to understand where I've come from and why I'm never going back. And more importantly, how to make sure he's on this wellness journey with me.
One of my ex-husbands would sometimes curl up in a ball on the floor and cry about his family, a never-ending swirl of lost parents, outside families, and informal adoptions. It was during a conversation with my mother-in-law, a mental health professional, that I learned my husband had challenges with his mental health — information I wish I had been given before we were living together, much less married. He never once mentioned his diagnosis to me, and our relationship continued until meeting an explosive end.
Before him, there was another ex-husband who was physically abusive from literally day one. He was a deeply disturbed man with obvious mental health issues and a long history of abusing women, though most of it went largely unchecked. Like my uncles, both of them used hard drugs and alcohol as a way to self-medicate, appearing to the public as substance abusers, but never as mentally ill.
In both scenarios, being with someone who triggered the feelings of insecurity, fear, and abandonment I experienced as a little girl exacerbated my own diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. After a period of misusing benzodiazepines — a powerful, habit-forming class of tranquilizers and anti-anxiety drugs — I began seeking natural ways to cope with my anxiety and panic. It would take years of practice for me to perfect my new coping mechanisms: such as clean and organic eating, a gallon of water a day, eight hours of sleep each night, meditation, prayer, and sharpening my ability to throw men out onto the street when I've had enough of their bullshit. It's proved effective.
But nothing is more effective than prevention.
My two ex-husbands were not the first, or last, of the men I would date and marry who suffered from mental illness. In each instance, my partners were either undiagnosed, in need of updated diagnoses, or were aware of their diagnoses and made the decision not to divulge their mental health stats before we began dating. In all my relationships, I ignored the warning signs, and accepted such issues as a normal part of life, love, dating, and marriage. After all, I've never seen anything different — not in my family or in my immediate friendship circle.
Women have our own traumas; we've got our work cut out for us as it is. There are days when it's hard enough for us to face ourselves, and to commit to our wellness, when we are charged with taking care of so many others. As your partners, we want to help you, but you have to help us do so. And what's one of the best ways you can do that? By putting mental health and wellness at the very top of our requirements for dating and marriage.
Demand regular therapy for your partner, and require it of yourself. Together, check in with a family and marriage therapist regularly, even if everything seems to be going well in your relationship.
Don't fight us on this. It's for you. It's for us. We are all in pain, and we all deserve a safe place to express that pain, where there is no judgment, only help. Commit to taking care of your mind as faithfully as you take care of your sneaker collection — and please, hold us to the same standard.
Moving forward, and in the interest of not repeating my familial and relationship cycles, I'm vowing to make mental health care paramount in my relationships, and the cornerstone around which I build my love life.
