This industry offers an abundance of opportunities for artistic, hard-working and enthusiastic people. The scenario for fashion design graduates looks good, due to the big and still increasing demand for stylish clothes and therefore the quantity of exports. On the opposite hand, several garment store chains, export houses, leather companies, textile mills, boutiques, fashion show organizers and jewelry houses recruit professionals fascinated with a career in fashion designing.
Variety of opportunities:
Fashion designers are just a little portion of this whole game. In India, other sectors like manufacturing fabric, importing and exporting textiles, embroidery and dyeing structure a far bigger proportion of this industry. the style designer just must make use of those available resources to introduce new designs into the market.

Small Business Acclamation:
There are many small businesses which are turning into success business because of the acclamation and recognition being received thanks to influencers, celebrities and even their attribution in films within the recent times. It's not only Manish Malhotra or Abujani-Sandeep Khosla who are ruling the style line nowadays. Entrepreneurs creating ethnics out of Indian fabrics like Khadi, also called linen, has been in on a rage and therefore the supply has been also meeting lots of demands, thanks to social media.

Strike up a death positive conversation with a loved one or have some morbid laughs with friends with the Morbid Curiosity game.
Last fall I stumbled upon a Kickstarter for a card game called Morbid Curiosity, and eagerly spread the word in hopes that it would get funded so I could get my hands on it. The premise was that, through death-related trivia and opened-ended questions, small groups of friends or family could have a lighthearted conversation about their inevitable demise.
Thankfully the game was funded. In fact, it exceeded its goal considerably. Everyone has a little morbid curiosity to satisfy.

Coronavirus: New Washington Nightingale hospital may never open, says NHS chief
The 460-bed site could be ready to take patients at the end of April, but only if hospitals in the North East are unable to cope.

A new Nightingale Hospital being built in Tyne and Wear may never need to open, an NHS boss has said.
The 460-bed site in Washington could be ready to take patients at the end of the month, but only if hospitals in the North East are unable to cope during the coronavirus pandemic.
Martin Wilson, chief operating officer for Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is overseeing the project, said he hoped that the makeshift hospital would not be needed.

"I don't think we will need to open," he said.
"If people can all play their part in social distancing, if a vaccine comes along, my hope is that we don't need to open.
"If we do, we will be ready."
The trust has stressed that it has enough personal protective equipment (PPE), that its "number one priority" is protecting staff, and that the brand new unit has designated "donning and doffing" (putting on and removing) areas.

The facility - which has been transformed from an empty unit close to the Nissan car plant - is owned by Sunderland Council.
It was intended to be used by Newcastle and Sunderland Universities as an innovation centre, focusing on the future of manufacturing, including electric cars.
If it does open, it will be staffed by employees of local health trusts, as well as returning medics and volunteers.
It has good access to the rest of the region, being just off the A19 and not far from the A1, and the main hall where the beds will be located measures more than 9,000 square metres - bigger than a football pitch.

Visitors will not be allowed to see patients, but the trust is looking to set up a 24-hour phone number for relatives to call for updates, and tablets could be used to help keep families in touch.
Six other NHS Nightingale Hospitals have been announced so far - in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Harrogate and Exeter.

On the final day of ClexaCon London, Mandahla Rose and Nicole Pacent visited the press room together. They are in Passage together, which will come out in 2019. They talked about other projects they have been working on, about queer and non-queer actors playing queer characters, and about mental health. Because the interview was so long, I have divided into two parts. Below, you will find Mandahla's part and here, you will find Nicole's part.
You can also find a video of the full interview here.
Me: Mandahla Rose, you just said that you still had so much more to say in your panel. What were some of the things you wanted to talk about?
Mandahla Rose: It was about mental health. The question was about how people reach out to you. So, I have been reached out to by a number of people but one person in particular. This is a trigger warning. She heard me speak about my own vulnerable story, how I tried to take my own life, and it ended up saving her life. To me, if this platform is something that I can be on that can just save one life, then I am doing the right job.
Unfortunately, Tessa did pass away. Not by her own hand but it was because she ended up having a heart defect. So, the wonderful thing that I can take from that is that she could have gone from darkness and sadness in her heart. But what I ended up doing by speaking my truth is actually allowing her to go ask for help, let her family and friends know that she needed help.
She actually got that help. She met someone in care and ended up marrying and moving to Paris. And she had this beautiful, just six months of a new life where she has light and love in her heart. Unfortunately, she did leave but she left with that and love in her heart. So, this platform that I find myself on is wonderful for that reason. If just one life, that is life enough.
On your panels, you two did not get the chance to talk much about your upcoming projects. What would you like to say about them now?
Mandahla Rose: Let's first talk about Passage because we are both in Passage. Do you want to…?
Nicole Pacent: You are a bigger part of Passage so why don't you talk about it?
Mandahla Rose: I play agent Diana Atwell, a Caelus agent. It is Sci-Fi and it is kind of, I do not want to give it away, I can't… It is going to be… I am very excited about it. I did spend a day at the graveyard running around, which was a lot of fun, with guns and everything.
My other project is BIFL. I won't tell you what that stands for. Does it stand for anything? We don't know. Find out. I play Sarah, they/them/their, ace lesbian. It is a lot about representation. It is an ensemble cast so there are six of us. Each of us has our own stories to tell. So that one was really exciting as well.
Forever Not Maybe
Forever Not Maybe will be coming out next year. It was originally La Douleur Exquise, a web series that ended up… Shot the first episode in December 2015, which was a while ago but that is the actual reason for me moving to LA in the first place. We were actually able to get the funds to turn it into a feature film. So, now called Forever Not Maybe because good luck pronouncing La Douleur Exquise. So, that one will be coming out next year as well.
Crazy Bitches season 2, I play Pandora, a 20-something YouTuber. I am a little baby lesbian in it, who has a bit of a crush on Guinevere Turner's character. Then, Guinevere and I are in a series called Alice & Iza, which will be coming out soon. It is based on a one-night stand, which is a little bit of fun, on Tello.
Nicole, you have said on a panel that you have feelings about how important it is for openly queer actors to be playing queer characters. Would you mind going into that a little bit more?
[Nicole Pacent discusses this question. Then, Mandahla Rose adds her comment.]
Mandahla Rose: I think there is a fine line because I can see the "straight" world be like "Well, if you think queer actors should be playing queer characters, then straight people should only be playing straight characters.
Nicole Pacent: Yes, it does work opposite.
Mandahla Rose: It does. But in saying that, we are more than our sexuality. I can play a straight person and a queer person. It is still a talent. It is the talent we should be looking at, not the sexuality. But, again, I really love when… I mean, it is really heart-warming when queer actors are playing queer characters because the straight guys get them all the time. The straight people get everything.
Me: I was at the table reading of Passage. To me, the question is: does the Sci-Fi aspect of it bring more difficulties to shooting it?
Nicole Pacent: Well, we are not on the production side of it. It did not make it more difficult for us as actors.
Mandahla Rose: No, I got a plasma gun and I was really happy with that.
Nicole Pacent: Is it going to take more effects and camera tricks for them? Yes. We definitely were party to that, we could see that happening but luckily, I got to get home and be like "Bye!"
Make sure you follow Nicole and Mandahla on social media! Their handles are @NicolePacent and @TwiistedRose on Twitter and Instagram.
PS here are my interviews with Kat Barrell, Natasha, Elise & Annie, Jamie Clayton, the team behind I Can't Think Straight, the writer and producer of Different for Girls, and the directors of ClexaCon.

Death / Psychology / Suffering
From the Archives: The Saddest Epidemic of All
by David Zahl on Jun 6, 2016 • 10:45 am 6 Comments
Had every intention of re-running this last week, in observance of national Mental Health Awareness month. Apologies!
I was shocked by something a couple of years ago. At our Fall conference in Charlottesville (Sept 2012), RJ Heijmen showed a clip of a father telling the story of his son's suicide and the emotional and spiritual agony it caused. The man's words could not have possibly been heavier, and I almost questioned whether we had crossed a line. But that wasn't what shocked me. What shocked me was the number of people who approached me afterward to share a similar story. Nearly a quarter of those in attendance had experienced the suicide of a close friend or family member. Granted, we are only talking about 150 people or so–and I'm well aware that the group who signs up for an event about "hope in the ruins" is pretty self-selecting–but still, it threw me.
Suicide is not something we talk about very often in any context, church or otherwise, for obvious reasons. So to discover how many in that room had been directly affected by it felt like a sheet being pulled back to reveal what Tim Kreider calls one of "the secret histories of the world."
Cut to the statistics released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a few months later, particularly the news that the number of suicides per year in the US had risen 31% from 29,181 in 1999 to 38,364 in 2010, far outstripping population growth.
The timing of the announcement was terrible (though it's not as though the timing for this sort of thing could have ever been good), overshadowed as it was by the real-time tragedies in Boston and Oklahoma. Even so, one can't help but feel that the report–and its implications–were glossed over. As painful and awful as those other events may be, they are at least concrete. A soaring suicide rate, on the other hand, especially among a certain demographic (see below), may be too intangible and uncomfortable and close to the bone to absorb. Still, denying the deep sadness and despair that marks so many lives is the opposite of loving–indeed, it exacerbates the loneliness for everyone involved. Same with dismissing the issue as purely circumstantial or political (both left and right wasted little time in attributing the rise to faults in one another's policies).
The only publication I've seen pick the subject up with much gusto is Newsweek, which featured Tony Dokoupil's expert treatment on its cover in May of 2013. If "The Suicide Epidemic" sounds like an alarmist title for the article, well, the numbers are fairly alarming–no matter how you slice them. Thankfully, Dokoupil does more than break them down for us, he profiles Thomas Joiner, a professor at Florida State and one of the world's only leading authorities on the subject. Together they paint a grim picture, and not just about self-harm, but suffering and loneliness in general, escalating mental illness, and ultimately, humankind as its own worst enemy in the most nauseatingly literal sense. More commentary throughout:
We know, thanks to a growing body of research on suicide and the conditions that accompany it, that more and more of us are living through a time of seamless black: a period of mounting clinical depression, blossoming thoughts of oblivion and an abiding wish to get there by the nonscenic route. Every year since 1999, more Americans have killed themselves than the year before, making suicide the nation's greatest untamed cause of death. In much of the world, it's among the only major threats to get significantly worse in this century than in the last.
The result is an accelerating paradox. Over the last five decades, millions of lives have been remade for the better. Yet within this brighter tomorrow, we suffer unprecedented despair. In a time defined by ever more social progress and astounding innovations, we have never been more burdened by sadness or more consumed by self-harm. And this may be only the beginning. If Joiner and others are right—and a landmark collection of studies suggests they are—we've reached the end of one order of human history and are at the beginning of a new order entirely, one beset by a whole lot of self-inflicted bloodshed, and a whole lot more to come…
This year, America is likely to reach a grim milestone: the 40,000th death by suicide, the highest annual total on record, and one reached years ahead of what would be expected by population growth alone… This development evades simple explanation. The shift in suicides began long before the recession, for example, and although the changes accelerated after 2007, when the unemployment rate began to rise, no more than a quarter of those new suicides have been tied to joblessness, according to researchers. Guns aren't all to blame either, since the suicide rate has grown even as the portion of suicides by firearm has remained stable.
Throughout the developed world, for example, self-harm is now the leading cause of death for people 15 to 49, surpassing all cancers and heart disease. That's a dizzying change, a milestone that shows just how effective we are at fighting disease, and just how haunted we remain at the same time. Around the world, in 2010 self-harm took more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, stealing more than 36 million years of healthy life across all ages…
The suicide rate for Americans 45 to 64 has jumped more than 30 percent in the last decade, according to the new CDC report, and it's possible to slice the data even more finely than they did. Among white, middle-aged men, the rate has jumped by more than 50 percent, according to a Newsweek analysis of the public data. If these guys were to create a breakaway territory, it would have the highest suicide rate in the world. In wealthy countries, suicide is the leading cause of death for men in their 40s, a top-five killer of men in their 50s, and the burden of suicide has increased by double digits in both groups since 1990. The situation is even more dramatic for white, middle-aged women, who experienced a 60 percent rise in suicide in that same period, a shift accompanied by a comparable increase in emergency-room visits for drug-related (usually prescription-drug-related) attempts to die…
When teen suicide was on the rise in the 1970s and 1980s, society was stung by the conclusion that something must be wrong with the way we live, because our children don't want to join us. The question today is different, but just as unsettling. With people relinquishing life at its supposed peak, what does that say about the prize itself? What's gone so rotten in the modern world?
I know what you're thinking: perhaps he is overstating things a little–the world is no more or less rotten today than it has ever been. While that's certainly true as far as the human condition itself is concerned, there's a big difference between being stuck in webs of our own making (in the same way we always have been) and being filled with such despair that we want to end things. After all, we are usually pretty enraptured by whatever's keeping us captive.
So what is it about current iterations of human dysfunction, especially in educated circles–e.g. narcissism, materialism, careerism, techno-solutionism, internet-never-forgets-ism, hyper-litigiousness, etc–that have pushed so many over the brink? I'm not entirely sure. And I'm not entirely sure that understanding the precise reasons for it is all that important, as knowledge only goes so far when it comes to addressing real mental anguish. But I can recognize an opening for an honest discussion about the nature of sin and redemption, law and grace, death and resurrection, when I see one.
Indeed, the church has more to contribute here than just community (though embodied grace does go a long way). We can talk about hope that is rooted outside of us and our instincts, beyond prizes and striving and all that–hope that acknowledges the depth of human suffering, self-inflicted and otherwise, yet doesn't end there. Then again, it feels pretty callous to use these numbers to prove some theological point. Perhaps it is enough simply to ruminate on the clear-as-day reality that what we think brings us happiness and what actually brings us happiness are two very separate things. And that's not some pat religious notion. The stakes are extremely high. Especially at this time of year:
Spring is the start of suicide season, the time when the average daily death toll begins its climb to a mid-summer peak, before tapering through fall and winter. This is one of the strongest findings in the field, a 200-year debunking of Herman Melville's damp, drizzly November of the soul. One respected 19th-century French researcher actually calculated a boiling point for suicidal desire. It's 82 degrees, basically paradise…
[One can't help but think of the absurd number of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic visions at the box office this summer. Pop culture may be a relatively innocuous gauge, but clearly our collective imagination–American and otherwise–has taken a dark and dire turn of late.]
If four out of five suicide attempts are by women, why are four out of five suicides by men? If big cities and beautiful architecture are magnets for suicide, why are natural wonders and public parks as well? Prostitutes, athletes, and bulimics have an above-average risk for suicide, but what else do they have in common? Why are African-American people relatively safe? And twins?…
The life-saving power of belonging may help explain why, in America, blacks and Hispanics have long had much lower suicide rates than white people. They are more likely to be lashed together by poverty, and more enduringly tied by the bonds of faith and family. In the last decade, as suicide rates have surged among middle-aged whites, the risk for blacks and Hispanics of the same age has increased less than a point—although they suffer worse health by almost every other measure…
When people see themselves as effective—as providers for their families, resources for their friends, contributors to the world—they maintain the will to live. When they lose that view of themselves, when it curdles into a feeling of liability, the desire to die takes root. We need each other, but if we feel we are failing those we need, the choice is clear. We'd rather be dead. This explains why suicides rise with unemployment, and also with the number of days a person has been on bed rest. Just the experience of needing and receiving help from friends—rather than doing for oneself and others—can make a person pine for death. We're a gregarious species, but also a gallant one, so fond of playing the savior that we'd rather die than switch roles with the saved. In this way suicide isn't the ultimate act of selfishness or a bid for revenge, two of the more common cultural barbs. It's closer to mistaken heroism…
Woah. I'm not sure I could handle a more visceral distillation of Original Sin. As Moltmann made so clear in yesterday's excerpt from The Crucified God, the human creature is not neutral when it comes to what saves us–we actively flee it. We fight humility, often to the death. And yet. And yet… the place of deconstruction so often marks the beginning of hope, does it not? To paraphrase Paul Westerberg, the "first glimmer of light" shines in the darkness, thank God. On that note, here's Paul singing about how Sylvia Plath ended her own life:
Somehow Dokoupil keeps going with some observations about how law compounds despair:
The recession can't explain the new trends in suicide, but longer-term structural changes in the economy may undergird many of them. Only recently have economists begun to focus on the psychological impact of income inequality, tying the wealth and happiness of all to the risk of suicide for some. If you make 10 percent less than your neighbor, for example, you are 4.5 percent more likely to die by suicide, according to a paper led by Mary C. Daly, who works for the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco. In an earlier study, she and colleagues found that suicide rates generally rise with measures of national "happiness," a fact that accords nicely with Joiner's ideas about alienation and burdensomeness. It's hard to be sad and alone, and even harder if others seem too happy to disturb.
A couple of closing observations: The faith aspect mentioned above–i.e. the research showing that church attendance correlates to lower risk of suicide–is encouraging, though not without qualification. Lest Christians start pitching church as being "good for your (mental) health" and confuse means with ends once again, that is. Church can be beneficial, of course, but it completely depends on the church, and as much as I hate to say it, churches that explicitly appeal to our desire for results/improvement tend not to be the kind that are ultimately all that helpful. As that final stat attests, if church becomes yet another venue for comparison, it negates any benefit it might have provided by virtue of the relationships one forms there.
We talk so much on here about the dangers of law and judgment in a grace-less vacuum not because it is somehow "bad" or like little children/teenagers we don't like it, but because these things isolate a suffering person, causing them to hide and pushing them away when they most need to be brought closer. The same is true for all the endless material about the ugly side of the human condition. If we're not dealing with the truth, we're not dealing with God. To me, Dokoupil's article is a timely reminder that these notions are not some theological hobby horse but represent, at the risk of sounding dramatic, the difference between death and life.
By way of illustration, I remember walking out of church one Sunday in the not-so-distant past and hearing someone complain about a sermon being too morbid and individualistic, where was the joy of the redeemed life, etc. They had a point–Lord knows insecurity can prompt a person to adopt "an edge" simply to attract attention or justify ourselves/our anger. The flipside here is that if there was a suicidal person in that audience, they might have felt addressed for once. One never knows when someone like that is going to occupy a pew. But it looks like I've stumbled into the realm of ecclesiology, of churches functioning as hospitals rather than schoolhouses, which is not exactly this writer's comfort zone.
The larger lesson, if it can be called such, is simply that people are suffering. I mean, really suffering–and not "out there" but right here, right now. Regardless of our context, regardless of how things may appear, we are a threat to ourselves and in need of salvation from ourselves, and not just cosmically or theologically speaking. This sounds like an obvious point, but however self-evident it may be (both biblically and experientially), we always seem to resist it. It may be scant comfort in the midst of a suicidal situation, but that does not change the fact that it is exactly to such people that the Gospel of grace speaks most loudly.

Tom Rogers says:
As Ted Scofield's Mockingbird post subtitled "Rise of the Nones" pointed out, suicide is more prevalent among religious "nones," the number of which has been rising rapidly, particularly among young adults.
Multiple studies confirm it. I found these two on the NIH website:
Nine studies that altogether evaluated 2339 suicide cases and 5252 comparison participants met all selection criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis suggested an overall protective effect of religiosity from completed suicide with a pooled OR of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.21-0.71) and I2 of 91%.
In a sample of depressed inpatients, intrinsic religiosity was found to be associated with resilience, quality of life, and fewer previous suicide attempts.
Certainly the 'life-saving power of belonging' may be at work. But is there more to the story?
Cyndie says:
"Sometimes, no explanation is sufficient to account for suffering. The only decent thing is silence–and the sacraments." Thomas Merton. I have a friend haunted by the temptation to die. The better his life gets on a practical level, the larger his despair. When culture promises happiness if you XYZ, and happiness never comes, what else is there to think if you hear that heaven awaits you? My heart is broken because my friend knows everything you ever wanted to know about Jesus…he just doesn't go there.

A: It's a class loader issue; each module loaded it's own version of LogFileTuple. In Java, classes are scoped by the classloader that loads them so, in this case, it's a different Class instance.
You need to elevate the jar that contains that class to /xd/lib so it's loaded by a shared class loader.

About a month ago, Kaylan, a service member deployed to Afghanistan reached out to us for help. Kaylan is on her second deployment to Afghanistan. Shortly after she arrived, she was approached by leadership about a girls school near where she was stationed that was in poor conditions.
ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE FOR ALL TEAM ANGELS!
A group of US service members have taken on a project to help with the education of females at a new school in Afghanistan. As many of you know, educating girls and women is a HUGE step forward in ensuring security and stability for the children in the Middle East. The school is for girls only and has children ranging from the age of 8-16. This group of service members are asking for help collecting educational materials and supplies to help ensure the success of the students attending this school. All items needed are listed in the opportunity.
The response so far has been incredible! But beyond the generosity of our angels, we're so amazed at the dedication of Kaylan and her team. Not only is she deployed and serving, she's going above and beyond to help these girls get an education.
"Big news!!! We are OFFICIALLY (SUPER OFFICIALLY) building a Girls School.. with an AMAZING playground.. (and possibly now a library) thanks to alllllll the overwhelming support, love and generousity!!! We've recieved hundreds upon hundreds of boxes of supplies, clothes and toys to the point where we are looking at other schools in the area!!! Today we took some of the enormous LOVE to a family clinic day for women and children and I think the pictures speak for themselves. <3 Thank you soooooooooo much to EVERYONE!! Especially the Tali-banned Cigar Aficionado Club and Soldiers' Angels (Official). I can't possibly thank every person, but I'll try!! Stay tunned!!!!!"
More items received in Afghanistan! Kaylan sent photos of piles, and piles of school supplies, clothing, and shoes in support of her initiative to support the girls school in Afghanistan. The support of our Angels in this project has been absolutely overwhelming. We are so proud of Kaylan and her unit for doing this incredible work for the girls in Afghanistan and we are proud to say that we have been a part of the process.
From Kaylan: "Thank you seems like the most inadequate word on earth right now... but I am speechless..."
Here's more about Kaylan in her own words.
How long have you served in the military?
I've been in the military 16 years and love every second of it! This is my 6th deployment. I've been to Iraq 4 times and this is my second time in Afghanistan. I've only been deployed about 3 months. We are staying about 10 total so 7 to go!!
How did you hear about Soldiers' Angels?
I first heard of Soldiers' Angels in Iraq in 2008. I worked at an Iraqi prison where children would travel days at a time with their mothers to come to visit their fathers, brothers or other family. They usually had nothing. Soldiers' Angels did incredible things that deployment. They sent 2000+ pairs of shoes for the kids and so much more.
How has the reception been? Are you receiving a lot of supplies?
We are on an extremely small outpost and the reception has been overwhelming. We hosted a "fundraiser" and this little camp raised $6500!! It was incredible! We are going to use that money to build a playground! It was one of the most humbling moments of any deployment I've had. I've gotten so many supplies it's incredible! We had to start moving everything in giant shipping containers and volunteers came to help me sort even in 100+ degrees.
What are some things civilians don't know about education/the education of girls in Afghanistan?
I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East and the children and women are always the hardest part for me. Sometimes I don't think people truly appreciate the freedoms they enjoy in the U.S. Things have definitely gotten better in certain parts of Afghanistan but in others, education remains extremely taboo for women and often dangerous! When we approached the school about bringing in supplies, the headmaster asked for nothing except a higher wall around the courtyard to keep them safe from all the threats in the area. That was it. She didn't want anything else. That was a turning point for me. Every child deserves at least a chance. They shouldn't be scared for their lives to sit on dirt piles and try to learn. Can you imagine sending your kids to that every day? But they still come because that's how bad they want to learn... anything. What culture dictates they do after a certain age is still an uphill fight. Getting married and pregnant at 13 and 14 is a reality for these girls... but maybe if we can reach a few they can change the world.
Our angels are hard at work collecting and sending supplies. Stay tuned for an update on the school's progress! For now, here are some pictures of Kaylan and the school girls.


You've probably heard this Steve Jobs quote: "Design is not just how it looks like, design is how it works." When Boyert first contacted us, their website was the perfect illustration of that saying. It was outdated, did not represent them well and it actually made it difficult for their potential clients to navigate through the pages and learn more about their great services and locations.
To create a web design that is right on the money, the first thing we do is research. In this case, we assessed Boyert's marketing strategy and the overall brand voice that they wanted to convey. We then did an in-depth analysis of the keywords they wanted to rank for. Through subtle colors, large images and a simplistic structure, we managed to convey the right message and we optimized each and every page of their website so that they jumped up in search engine results. This increased traffic, but we also had to make sure the website was converting well. Since Boyert features a gun store, we made sure that website visitors could easily browse through their inventory and check out the different models that they feature. Boyert's shooting range also offers membership plans for loyal clients - a program that was not well described in their previous website design, so we made sure it was clear to potential customers. We created a platform that presented each and every service Boyert offers, while also highlighting their experience and professionalism. By doing so effectively, this positively impacted their sales. We also built a complex back-end system that allowed Boyert's team to make updates on their website without any technical knowledge necessary. For a shooting range that is so modern, the ability to instantly inform website visitors about news and deals is crucial. They can now add events, classes, store inventory and upgrade images and content anytime, from anywhere. Seeing the surge in traffic and conversions, Boyert concluded that they now have the best looking and smoothest working shooting range website in the country.
Boyert is a shooting range in the Greater-Houston area with several locations. Other than the shooting range itself and different simulators, they also offer shooting classes with different weapons led by top professionals. The first Boyert location opened its doors years ago, and they are proud to be part of the process of reinventing the shooting experience.

Borsa Istanbul A.Ş. ("BIST") has introduced a number of significant amendments on the Listing Directive on July 31, 2017.
Easy entrance to the Star Market: Star Market listing requirements have been amended and, as per such amendment, part of the listing requirements for the Star Market and its groups (Group 11 and Group 22) have been softened, provided that the applicant companies meet certain conditions.
Conducting the public offering through the sale of the existing shares together with the issuance and sale of new shares.
For the calculation of the companies' operating profits, the BIST is also allowed to take into consideration the amortization and redemption amounts of the companies that do not necessitate cash outflows.
New market for the shares of investment companies: The investment companies' issued shares for qualified investors may be traded on the Qualified Investors Market rather than the Collective and Structured Products Market. Previously, the shares of the investment companies were traded only on the Collective and Structured Products Market.
Simplified listing procedure for structured products: Structured products (e.g., fund participation shares, real estate certificates, etc.) other than investment company warrants and certificates are directly listed, without being subject to any assessment by the BIST, upon the approval of the offering circular/issuance document by the Capital Markets Board ("CMB") and the realization of the sale. Such an implementation system did not exist prior to the amendment.
Determination of the applicable market for structured products: The listed warrants, certificates, other structured products (e.g., real estate certificates) and fund participation shares issued through a public offering are traded on the Collective and Structured Products Market. Furthermore, the ones issued for qualified investors are traded on the Qualified Investors Market. Such an implementation mechanism did not exist prior to the amendment.
New requirement for real estate certificates: With regard to the listing of real estate certificates, obtaining a prior opinion from the BIST has become a requirement before the approval phase of the offering circular/issuance document by the CMB. Previously, the listing of real estate certificates was not subject to any assessment by the BIST.
Exceptional listing procedure for the Turkish Sovereign Wealth Fund ("TSWF"): The capital market instruments, issued by the TSWF ("Türkiye Varlık Fonu Yönetimi A.Ş"), its sub-funds and other companies incorporated or authorized by the TSWF, are directly listed and traded without requiring any prior decision or processing by the BIST. Such an implementation mechanism did not exist prior to the amendment. This amendment will accelerate the listing procedure for the TWSF's capital-market instruments.

Dark Angel var et thrash metal-band fra Los Angeles. Deres ekstreme stil (ekstremt hurtige, tunge og lange sange med masser af temposkift, sangtekster og udvidede instrumentale dele) gav dem tilnavnet "the L.A. Caffeine Machine" og mottoet "too fast, my ass". Trommeslager Gene Hoglan betragtes som en af verdens bedste trommeslagere indenfor undergrundsmetal.

De udgav 4 demoalbum før deres debut-lp We Have Arrived blev udgivet i 1984. I 1986 udgav Dark Angel albummet Darkness Descends som sammen med Master of Puppets (Metallica), Reign in Blood (Slayer), Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? (Megadeth), The Dark (Metal Church) og Pleasure to Kill (Kreator) var blandt de vigtigste thrash metal-udgivelser i 1986, og betragtes i dag af mange som et af de vigtigste album for 1980'ernes ekstremmetal.
Dave Mustaine tilbød efterfølgende Eric Meyer at komme med i Megadeth, men denne afslog for i stedet at kunne blive i Dark Angel.

Efterfølgende udgav bandet to yderligere album, Leave Scars (1989) og Time Does Not Heal (1991), hvor de viste en stigende mængde progressive sangstrukturer (sidstnævnte album er kendt for at indeholde 246 riffs) og Hoglan's tekster omhandler seriøse emner, ofte psykologiske problemer og traumer.

Efter at være gået i opløsning i 1992, blev Dark Angel kortvarigt genforenet i 2002. Ron Rinehart's skade tvang dem dog til at droppe planer om en turné, og bandet er i øjeblikket inaktivt. Rinehart dannede også bandet Oil i 1997 efter at have konverteret til kristendommen.

For the children in high-security Immigration Detention Centres in Nauru and mainland Australia, what does time mean? How much time have they already lost to war and persecution? When non-citizen children arrive in Australia without a visa, they are detained while their application for refugee status is processed. An amendment to the Migration Act in 1994 that enforces mandatory detention for an indefinite period of time is older than the children seeking protection. The Australian Government is frozen in time on this issue, while children are running out of time. When they are finally processed, will they have an opportunity to rebuild their life, or will their time be up?

Easter: Nigeria will rise from all challenges ― CAN
Duke Bassey April 18, 2022 NIGERIA Edit this post
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says Nigeria will rise from all the challenges it is facing and become a greater nation. ...
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) says Nigeria will rise from all the challenges it is facing and become a greater nation.
The President of CAN, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, said this in his Easter message titled "Hope in the Midst of Gloom" on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Ayokunle, Nigerians are going to rejoice and be proud of their nation again in the name of Jesus Christ.
He said that according to Job 14:7-8, there is hope for a tree that is cut down but its root remains in the ground, at the scent of water, it will sprout again.
"My prayer to God is to fast-tract the resurrection of Nigeria from all her pains and challenges, so that those of us who have tasted in the suffering in our nation might equally eat of the good of this nation in the name of Jesus Christ.
"I commend our security agencies for all they are doing at nipping the ugly situation of insecurity in the bud, especially for the supreme price some of them had paid.
"We seize this opportunity of Easter to pray for comfort for their families and urge the government to take good care of the people they left behind.
"I plead with the Federal Government to work harder to bring reprieve to Nigerians from all these challenges very soon.
"Once again, I wish you a happy Easter. May Hallelujah be your song forever in Jesus name," he said.
Ayokunle said that he brought the congratulatory message to all Christians all over Nigeria and by extension to all Nigerians in the name of Jesus.
He added that the arrest of Jesus by evil men and the so-called religious leaders, his crucifixion and of course his burial were the greatest shocks in the life of his disciples.
He said that though he told them several times that it was going to happen, considering his miraculous power, they thought nobody would be able to arrest, talk more of crucifying him.
He added that they did not understand the Scripture that Christ must suffer first before entering into his glory and be Lord over all. (Acts 24: 25-27).
"Jesus remained three days in the grave as if he was not going to resurrect, however, on the third day, there was a great happening.
"There was an earthquake, the foundation of the earth was shaken and Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, the Lord of lords rose triumphantly from the dead.
"His resurrection brought smiles to the faces of his disciples and shame to his enemies," he said.
He, however, said that nothing was worse than death adding that if Jesus died and was buried, putting his disciples in the greatest state of disappointment and sorrow but afterwards rose from the dead.
He said that this meant that Nigeria would rise again.


Associations have massive amounts of content for their members, but few understand how to leverage it to improve member recruitment and retention. The challenge is putting that content "to work" at every stage of engagement. This session will cover strategies to avoid generalized messaging and deliver highly personalized content that can increase conversion rates, membership satisfaction, and ultimately revenue.
Hear real examples and then be ready to discuss the challenges associations face in shifting their strategy away from outdated models to content marketing methodologies that yield big results.

A decorated veteran, John Kerry became a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
(CNN) -- FBI documents about FBI surveillance of John Kerry in the early 1970s have been stolen, according to their owner, a historian who lives near San Francisco, California.
"It was a very clean burglary. They didn't break any glass. They didn't take anything like cameras sitting by. It was a very professional job," Nicosia said.
"Was it a thrill-seeker who wanted a piece of history? It could be," Nicosia said. "You'd think there was a very strong political motivation for taking those files. The odds are in favor of that."
Nicosia, author of "Home At War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans Movement," had obtained about 20,000 pages of FBI documents through Freedom of Information Act requests.
The documents center on FBI surveillance of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), which Kerry represented as national spokesman. In April 1971, the decorated veteran testified in televised hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and led a large protest of veterans in the capital.
Nicosia estimated that 20 percent of his documents are missing.
"It's heartbreaking, after 11 years trying to get them," he said.
Kerry's antiwar efforts drew the attention of President Nixon, as revealed in recordings of White House conversations obtained by CNN from the National Archives, and of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, as the documents revealed.
"I hadn't gotten a chance to review them all. I am sure there were some things about John Kerry that weren't known," Nicosia said. "These files would also cast a bad light on the ... Republican Party. This surveillance happened under the Nixon White House and Nixon FBI."
Nicosia showed about 50 pages of the documents to CNN last week.
The FBI followed Kerry as he traveled the country, speaking out against the war and raising money for the cause. Kerry, a Navy lieutenant, was honorably discharged upon his return from Vietnam with three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star.
Kerry, who obtained his personal FBI files years ago, knew of the surveillance, but the VVAW files obtained by Nicosia detail more extensive surveillance than the senator from Massachusetts might have realized.
"It is almost surreal to learn the extent to which I was followed by the FBI," Kerry said in a written statement earlier this week. "The experience of having been spied on for the act of engaging in peaceful patriotic protest makes you respect civil rights and the Constitution even more."
Kerry was seen as a tactical "conservative" among the antiwar veterans, the FBI documents say. The 27-year-old typically opposed demonstrations that would lead to arrests.
"A review of the subject's file reveals nothing whatsoever to link the subject with any violent type activity," said a May 1972 FBI memo about Kerry provided by his campaign.
The memo recommended that the surveillance end because Kerry had quit VVAW and was launching a political career.

Women protesters confront the "Black Snake"
Leonard Klein reports from Standing Rock on one of the actions by water protectors.
MARCHING BEHIND a "Defend the Sacred" banner and the white flags of peace, more than 150 women of the Oceti Sakowin Camp faced off against Morton County sheriffs on Sunday, November 27.
The women of the White Buffalo camp and their supporters marched onto the State Highway 1806 bridge to defiantly sing and chant in the face of the militarized police presence.
The bridge still shows the signs of past conflicts with police. Charred sleeping bags, blankets and clothing were bulldozed into a line before four columns of concrete barriers were set up on the bridge, blocking traffic in both directions.
Police have erected a roadblock of razor wire, barriers and armored vehicles on the north bank to guard what water protectors refer to as the "Black Snake": the Dakota Access Pipeline still under construction.
A White Buffalo spokeswoman, standing atop the barricades, yelled at the massed law enforcement agents and the government they represent: "We want to say to you that we are dying. You promised to protect us and our waters. And now our water is being poisoned."
Women from the Oceti Sakowin Camp at Standing Rock march to protect Native sovereignty
The protesters sang and performed a circle dance, with Native women in the center and an interracial mix of non-Native women in the outer rings.
Most of the marchers were wearing white skirts over layers of winter clothing, whipped in the 20 miles per hour winds. A call-and-response chant went up "Mni Wiconi!" ("Water is Life!") as one spokeswoman walked the 10 yards up to the razor wire.
Morton County officials told the spokeswoman and marchers to clear the bridge because it wasn't safe--although the only genuine threat in the area is the pipeline being built to run under the Missouri River, threatening a drinking water source for millions of people downstream.
The marchers chanted, "Respect our waters! Respect our land! Respect our people! Honor our treaties!" while police camera crews and surveillance drones filmed the action. As time passed, other chants, more familiar from struggles outside Standing Rock, were added, such as, "What do you do when water is under attack? Stand up, fight back!"
Another speaker reminded those assembled of the large numbers of Native women who have gone missing in the U.S.--some are feared kidnapped and forced into prostitution near the tar sands oil work camps where the poisonous cargo intended for the DAPL originates.
After 45 minutes, the White Buffalo women turned and marched off the bridge, singing their resolution to stop the pipeline and protect the water.
As the march showed, the movement against DAPL connects a wide range of issues, from U.S. government disregard for Native sovereignty, to sexism and violence against women, to environmental destruction. Stopping the DAPL would be one positive step in eliminating these other ills whose cause is the huge profits from oil extraction.

Marijuana is becoming legal in more states every year and to a greater degree. One of the biggest changes in the Marijuana industry is the advent of vaping wax using cannabis concentrates. These concentrates as you may have guessed concentrated forms of MJ. The key component is they are higher in THC and provide the consumer a way to enjoy the effects while taking in a lesser degree of carcinogens and tars. See how easy it is to liquidize these concentrates.
These concentrates are readily available in MMJ and Recreational marijuana dispensaries. These cannabis concentrates go by many names, often the name corresponds to the look and feel of the concentrate. Here are some of the names of concentrates that are popular.
All of these concentrates work excellent with liquidizers. Liquidizers are a relatively new product that enables a marijuana concentrate connoisseur to turn wax to oil you can see 2 great videos showing how to turn wax to oil here or watch the one below. Like most new products there is a range of quality and refinement that comes with anything new. There are a few key aspects that any liquidizer should provide to the consumer.
The first is quality. This takes into consideration the quality of ingredients. Are they safe for consumption? The next quality is ease of use. Is it fast and easy to use? The next quality issue where many liquidizers fall short is separation. Does the vape oil once mixed stay in a nice consistent viscosity or does it layer like oil and vinegar in a salad dressing?
The proprietary blend of ingredients used by Wax Liquidizer is the highest quality providing the user a safe easy to use product that provides a stable wax infused e-juice that does not separate. The quality standards for liquidizers are set by Wax Liquidizer.
The second aspect of a good liquidizer is all about taste. What good is it to have some great e-liquid made from shatter if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth? There are a few different marijuana concentrate to liquid or liquidizers on the market. Some of the reviews on these make note of nasty aftertaste and a chemical type taste. If you Google EJmix Taste you will see Google gives you the EJmix taste bad auto-complete in your browser…. Just sayin.
Wax liquidizer has 6 great tasting flavors. If you can't make up your mind they also offer a sample wax to vape pack complete with an e-juice mix kit. Flavors offered are Grape Ape, Banana OG, Pineapple Express, Ice Hit, Strawberry Cough, and of course Original. Just as Wax Liquidizer uses only the highest quality ingredients in the liquidizer it does not stop short when adding flavor.
All flavors used by Wax Liquidizer are formulated from base ingredients of Herbs and Fruits. The concentration of these flavors is blended to perfection. In fact when you combine the quality of our ingredients, ease of use, and great taste it's easy to see how Wax Liquidizer was presented with the "420 Product of The Year" in 2016. When it comes to turning MJ concentrates to Vape Juice see just how easy and Tasty Wax Liquidizer makes it….

Search is On for Zebra Mussels
Pelican Lake was designated as infested waters on July 2, when DNR divers found two zebra mussels. Obviously an early infestation, but if the reproducing population is not located and removed it will quickly turn into a huge problem.
An adult female zebra mussel may produce between 30,000 and 1,000,000 eggs per year and spawning usually begins in the months from late spring to early summer. Zebra mussels are filter feeders and tend to out-compete native species for food and by growing on top of and suffocating the native clams and mussels. They cleanse the waters of inland lakes, resulting in increased sunlight penetration and growth of aquatic plants and algae at greater depths.
Unfortunately for Pelican Lake, finding the zebra mussel population in the 8,300 acre lake will not be easy and the public should be on the lookout in shallow water on hard surfaces like rocks, dock poles, boat lifts, swim platforms, pontoons or attached to a native mussel.
Minnesota Tough on Aquatic Invasive Species - The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources considerably ramped up its boat inspections, enforcement efforts and educational campaign to prevent the spread of invasive zebra mussels and other AIS.


Monarcas Morelia came from behind to earn a 2-1 win against Lobos BUAP. The result snaps a two-game losing streak for the michoacanos while the Licántropos saw their two-game unbeaten streak halted and have now lost four straight on the road.
The game started off well for the visitors, though, and Lobos took the lead in the 21st minute. Irven Ávila and Julián Quiñones combined well before Quiñones applied the finishing touch to make it 0-1.
Morelia came close to tying the game just before halftime, but Raúl Ruidíaz couldn't capitalize on the opportunity. They did level the game in the second half, though, when Miguel Ángel Sansores finished off a rebound given up by Jorge Villalpando to make it 1-1 in the 63rd minute.
As time wore on, it looked like the tie would be the final result. Then, in the 87th minute, Morelia completed the comeback. Ruidíaz received a cut back from Gastón Lezcano and he sent it into the net to make it 2-1 for the hosts.
Lobos had one last-gasp chance to salvage a point, but Facundo Erpen couldn't get his attempt on target.
With the 2-1 win, Morelia reaches 13 points while Lobos still have five.
Morelia: Sebastián Sosa, Carlos Rodríguez, Emanuel Loeschbor, Gabriel Achilier, Diego Valdés, Rodolfo Vilchis (Gastón Lezcano 70′), Rodrigo Millar (Miguel Ángel Sansores 45′), Mario Osuna, Aldo Rocha, Raúl Ruidíaz, Ángel Sepúlveda.
Lobos: Jorge Villalpando, César Cercado, Francisco Rodríguez, Facundo Erpen, Heriberto Olvera (Rodrigo Godínez 45′), Luis Advíncula, Carlos Treviño, Jordan Sierra, Gabriel Cortez, Irven Ávila, Julián Quiñones (Amaury Escoto 83′).

Trump tariff threats alarm Mexico growers, economists
by: ANDRÉS VILLARREAL, CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and PETER ORSI, Associated Press
Posted: May 31, 2019 / 07:50 PM HST / Updated: Jun 1, 2019 / 06:39 AM HST
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says Mexico will not respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of coercive tariffs with desperation, but instead push for dialogue, during his daily morning press conference at the National Palace, in Mexico City, Friday, May 31, 2019. (AP Photo/Ginnette Riquelme)
CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) — Tomato exporter Sergio Esquer Peiro spent much of Friday in hastily called meetings with other stunned growers, trying to evaluate the potential fallout of U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to slap coercive tariffs on all imports from Mexico.
The sudden announcement caught observers on both sides of the border by surprise and prompted President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to dispatch his top diplomat to Washington for talks seeking to head off the proposed tariffs.
Obrador said Mexico won't panic over the threatened hike, but economists and those whose livelihoods depend on the trade relationship worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year worry that stiff duties could have dramatic, negative consequences and potentially spark a trade war between the neighboring countries.
Already, Esquer and other exporters were having to contend with a 17.56% tariff on tomatoes imposed after Washington announced in March it was ending a longstanding agreement over alleged Mexican dumping of the fruit. If the new duties do take effect, Esquer is looking at another 5% being slapped on his products — potentially increasing to 25% in subsequent months — unless Mexico does more to stop illegal migration through its territory by a June 10 deadline per Trump's demand.
"Right now more than anything there is a reaction of disbelief with everything that is going on," Esquer, who's been sending tomatoes and other crops to the United States for 60 years, told The Associated Press by phone during a break in the meetings.
"It also goes against the spirit there is between both countries, the agreements we have, the bilateral trade we have, which is very successful," Esquer continued. "On the other hand, we'll have to wait for the reaction of U.S. exporters to Mexico, because they are also going to see their exports threatened if Mexico launches some kind of mirror policy."
From berries and automobiles to machinery and household appliances, all of Mexico's exports stand to be hit with the tariffs. Avocado growers in Michoacan, electronics factory workers in Tamaulipas, across the border from Texas, auto parts exporters, all would feel the pinch.
Esquer, who does business from the tomato-growing northwestern state of Sinaloa, said it's not just businessmen who stand to lose, since Mexico's estimated 700 tomato exporters are responsible for directly generating some 450,000 jobs. According to Mexico's Agriculture Department, last year some $2 billion in tomatoes were exported to the United States, second only to tequila and ahead of avocados.
The threat also throws into question the future of the USMCA trade deal between the U.S., Mexico and Canada, hammered out in months of contentious negotiations as a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement, one of the Trump administration's most touted achievements.
Trump's threat came the same day Mexico announced it would begin the process of ratifying the USMCA and less than two weeks after it successfully negotiated the lifting of U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs that had been a roadblock to final approval for the trade deal.
"It would really have a terrible impact on our producers and our exporters," said Kenneth Smith Ramos, who led then-President Enrique Peña Nieto's delegation to USMCA talks and is now an international trade consultant at Mexico City-based AGON.
"And it would hurt U.S. producers as well because they rely a lot on Mexican inputs for their production," he added. "So it would reduce their competitiveness and force them to raise prices, which would ultimately of course hit consumers."
That means people like Chuck Sholtis, CEO of El Paso, Texas-based Plastic Molding Technology Inc., which employs 100 people. Most of its business involves plastic injection molding for automotive, electronics and business products for maquiladoras, factories in Mexico that are run by foreign companies. Sholtis said his company has already suffered from U.S. steel tariffs on China that increased the costs of their tools, and it's also been hit by slowdowns at ports of entry
Sholtis said the United States has found a niche in high-tech specialized manufacturing that's part of a global supply chain. He fears that if more tariffs like this are implemented, or if the USMCA doesn't take effect, the United States will lose its edge in manufacturing. He's also worried about possible recession in Mexico and the United States.
"It's illogical," Sholtis said, "Tariffs go against one of the stated goals of the administration: to help manufacturing and thereby create high-skilled manufacturing jobs."
The economic impact for Mexico was swift, with the peso down more than 3% against the U.S. dollar Friday. U.S. stocks likewise tumbled on Wall Street.
Initial macroeconomic projections from economists were also chilling.
Analyst Alfredo Coutiño of Moody's Analytics said Mexican exports to the U.S. totaled $358 billion last year, or 80% of all goods the country sold overseas. Over the course of a year, he said, a 5% tariff would represent about $18 billion in damage or 1.5% of Mexico's GDP, while a 25% tariff would amount to $90 billion or 7.3% of GDP.
Banco Base estimated that a 5% tariff could knock 2.85 percentage points off growth of Mexico's exports, but said a weaker peso would help compensate.
Such tariffs would "likely push Mexico into a recession," as well as disrupt regional supply chains and hurt investor confidence, Oxford Economics economist Gregory Daco wrote in a report.
Coutiño said Mexico could impose retaliatory penalties, sparking a tariff war.
A second, "less aggressive but potentially more effective" option would be to allow the peso to depreciate to the point where the tariffs would be neutralized, he added.
Via Twitter, Trump argued that "Mexico has taken advantage of the United States for decades. Because of the Dems, our Immigration Laws are BAD. Mexico makes a FORTUNE from the U.S., have for decades, they can easily fix this problem. Time for them to finally do what must be done."
Mexico already has implemented policies and actions to discourage irregular migration.
Last month, it raided the latest caravan of mostly Central American migrants traveling through the southern state of Chiapas, arresting hundreds and effectively breaking it up. There have been no significant caravans since then, with many migrants saying they now fear to travel in large groups.
Mexico also has deported thousands of migrants and frustrated thousands more with seemingly endless waits for permits that would allow them to travel legally through the country.
But sealing its porous southern border with Guatemala is probably impossible because Mexico lacks sufficient infrastructure to completely patrol a frontier that includes a river passing through dense jungle.
"We are carrying out our responsibility in immigration policy," López Obrador said Friday morning, while making no promises of new action to stem the flow of mostly Central American immigrants transiting Mexico to reach the U.S. border.
"We have to help so that they don't enter the United States illegally, but we also have to do it respecting human rights," said López Obrador. "Nothing authoritarian. They're human beings."
López Obrador espouses a longer-term, holistic approach focused on improving security, development and economic opportunity in the migrants' countries of origin, especially Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
For now López Obrador is betting on diplomacy and dialogue.
Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard announced talks would take place next Wednesday in Washington with him and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo leading their respective nations' delegations.
"There is a disposition for dialogue," Ebrard tweeted. "We will be firm and we will defend the dignity of Mexico."
In Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, 21-year-old Jennifer del Carmen Pérez Hernández, said she moved there three years ago because she couldn't find work in her home state of Veracruz, on the Gulf coast.
Pérez said when she first arrived she was told that if Trump were elected, staff cuts might be possible. She's kept her job operates an upholstery machine specialized for cars so far, but the tariff threat gives her new cause for concern.
"I've worked in sewing the three years that I've been in Juarez. It's what I know," Pérez said. "If there are cuts and I have to find work elsewhere, I would start at zero."
Associated Press writers Christopher Sherman and Peter Orsi reported from Mexico City, and Cedar Attanasio contributed from Ciudad Juarez.

Q: Code to access a specific file however the user's machine is set-up This is the issue I am facing.
Normally the user's machine is set-up with a user graphic signature file recorded under the C:\Users\User name\Signature folder as a safe and secure place for using it in some Excel processes.  But not all users' signature files could be used as the folder path is not always correctly reported by the below code.  I have some users with a machine set-up with two differents profiles under the C:\Users\ folder due to profile rebuilt - causing headache when looking at the location for the specific graphic file Excel is using. I attached sample of the code used to search for the correct folder.
