Graphene Materials to Remove Organic Pollutants and Heavy Metals from Water: Photocatalysis and Adsorption
By Eduardo E. Pérez-Ramírez, Miguel de la Luz-Asunción, Ana L. Martínez-Hernández and Carlos Velasco-Santos
Since graphene was isolated from graphite, different researches have been developed around it. The versatility of graphene properties and their derivates, such as graphene oxide or doped and functionalized graphene materials have expanded the possible applications of these nanostructures. The areas studied of graphene include the following: nanocomposites, drug delivery, transistors, quantum dots, optoelectronic, storage energy, sensors, catalyst support, supercapacitors, among others. However, other important field of these materials is their applications in environment, mainly in the removal of pollutants in water. In this context, there are two possible alternatives to use graphene materials in water purification: photocatalysis and adsorption. In the first case, the key is related to the bandgap and semiconductors properties of these materials, also the versatility of different graphene structures after the oxidation or functionalization, play an important role to get different arrangements useful in photocatalysis and avoid recombination, one of the problems of typical semiconductors photocatalysts. In the second case, surface area and useful chemical groups in carbon material give different options to produce efficient adsorbents depending on different synthesis conditions. Thus, this book chapter covers a review of the photocatalytic activity of graphene materials with emphasis in the removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals from water, in the next topics: graphene-based semiconductor photocatalyst and graphene oxide as photocatalyst. On the other hand, the chapter also discusses the research related to the removal of organic compounds and heavy metals using graphene materials as adsorbents, the topics in this second part are as follows: graphene and graphene oxide as adsorbent of heavy metals from water, graphene, and graphene oxide as adsorbent of organic pollutants from water, functionalized graphene materials as adsorbent of water pollutants, carbon nanomaterials vs. graphene as adsorbents. Therefore, the book chapter presents a review and the discussion of the keys that play an important role in the advances in the research of graphene materials as photocatalysts. In addition, the isotherms and kinetic that produce these materials as adsorbents are also reviewed and discussed, because adsorption process in these materials is important to remove pollutants from water, but also for adsorption is a first step to achieve photocatalyst. The future of this topic in graphene materials is also analyzed.

Graphene‐Based Materials Functionalization with Natural Polymeric Biomolecules
By Edgar Jimenez‐Cervantes Amieva, Juventino López‐Barroso, Ana Laura Martínez‐Hernández and Carlos Velasco‐Santos
The use of 2D nanocarbon materials as scaffolds for the functionalization with different molecules has been rising as a result of their outstanding properties. This chapter describes the synthesis of graphene and its derivatives, particularly graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Both GO and rGO represent a tunable alternative for applications with biomolecules due to the oxygenated moieties, which allow interactions in a either covalent or non‐covalent way. From here, other discussed topics are the biofunctionalization with keratin (KE) and chitosan (CS). The non‐covalent functionalization is based primarily on secondary interactions such as van der Waals forces, electrostatics interactions, or π–π stacking formed between KE or CS with graphenic materials. On the other hand, covalent functionalization with KE and CS is mainly based on the reaction among the functional groups present in those biomolecules and the graphenic materials. As a result of the functionalization, different applications have been proposed for these novel materials, which are reviewed in order to offer an overview about the possible fields of application of 2D nanocarbon materials. In a nutshell, the objective of this work is as follows: first, overhaul different aspects about the synthesis of graphene chemically obtained, and second, make a review of different approaches in the functionalization of 2D carbon materials with specific biomolecules.

Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Water by Adsorption and Photocatalysis
By Eduardo Enrique Pérez Ramírez, Miguel de la Luz Asunción, Veronica Saucedo Rivalcoba, Ana Laura Martínez Hernández and Carlos Velasco Santos
Phenolic compounds are important industrial wastes, and are classified as hazardous substances contaminating groundwater resources. Therefore, the removal or diminish of these organics compounds in order to reach the permitted levels before discharging becomes a challenging. Several processes have been developed to remove phenolic compounds from waters, including electrochemical oxidation, redox reactions, membrane separation and photocatalytic degradation. Recently, tendency of phenolic compounds removal involves adsorption and photocatalytic process, using synthetic or natural particles, such as carbon materials and clays. Actually, materials in nanometric scale play an important role in the processes previously mention due to their unique chemical and physical properties. In this book chapter, the first part shows the chemical properties of phenolic compounds that play an important role in the removal process. In the second part, different materials in macro, micro and nanosize used as adsorbents or photocatalysts are reviewed. In addition, other removal processes of phenolic compounds as electrochemistry and redox reactions are included. The removal conditions in these process, such as pH, adsorbate and adsorbent concentration are analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, special emphasis is included in micro and nanocarbon materials, used as adsorbents or photocatalyst to remove phenol from water in recently researches.

Regarding Reza Sharifi Bookani and other Political Prisoners in Iran
TO ALL THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD:
The International Committee Against Execution would like to draw your attention to the condition of Reza Sharifi, a political prisoner in Iran. Reza has been sentenced to death by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite his health condition - severe respiratory problems - not only is he being deprived of basic medical treatment, but he is also being detained under inhumane conditions in Rajaei Shahr prison.
The following is what Reza Sharifi Bookani said about his condition, communicated from prison on December 22, 2010:
"Today, Wednesday, I checked in with the head of the medical center in prison and informed him of difficulties I have in breathing and that I cannot breath normally and am unable to tolerate this anymore. I told him, 'If you want me to die, say it, and say it frankly. I need antibiotics and a respiratory machine to help me breath. I need surgery. Either provide me with medicine and some medical treatment here or allow me to get it from outside the prison.' And their response is only silence. Not even aspirin or penicillin is available. As of now, many of the prisoners in Rajaei Shahr prison are suffering from influenza but no medicine is available to treat them. This is our condition in prison. "
Reza has respiratory disease, and the prison guards, instead of providing him with medical treatments, have imprisoned him along with five other prisoners who are also sentenced to death or life in prison, including Ali Saremi, Khaled Hardani and Saeed Masoori. They have been in prison for many years and were recently left in the prison's hallways for days. After these prisoners threatened the guards that they would go on hunger strike, they were transferred to two rooms that are in fact solitary confinement cells but now house six prisoners.
Reza's condition is an indication of the condition of many others whose lives are in grave danger in the prisons of the Islamic Republic of Iran -- and their numbers are increasing on a daily basis. The world must stand in defense of Iran's political prisoners and fight against the criminals who are now ruling Iran.
The International Committee Against Execution asks all of you who oppose the death penalty, are against torture and execution, are defenders of freedom of expression and opinion, as well as all of the human rights organizations around the world, to defend Iran's political prisoners, to help end the death penalty and torture, and in particular to ask for the immediate release of Reza Sharifi Bookani, Saeed Masoori and Ali Saremi. Please spread the news about their condition, and put pressure on international organizations to press the Islamic Republic to release all of the political prisoners and allow an international delegation to visit Iran's prisons, specifically Rajaei Shahr prison.

We have all been there. We have all found ourselves without a cent in our pockets on the last days of the month, yet we never seem to know where all the money went to. In a world where global economy deteriorates more and more each day, everyone should know how to manage their money in an efficient manner. It does not matter the amount of money we make, if we know how to manage it, we will be able to stretch it without being financial experts.
Is this really possible? The secret to saving money is –pause for dramatic effect- establishing priorities. But how do we know what to give priority to? If your hard earned money is vanishing at the end of the month like magic, it is time to sit down and evaluate your expenses once and for all.
Planning has to become a monthly or even a daily routine for messy spenders. First of all, there are three things that must be taken into account: income, debt and our expenses. The easiest part is establishing our income, the rest will be like seeing our worst nightmares come true, but it will be over soon. No one actually likes knowing how much money they spend each month, but the good thing about planning is that we can figure out how not to bleed out our bank accounts each month and maybe even save up to a 10% for that beach trip you are dying to take.
30-35% for living expenses (including utilities).
16-20% for food and groceries.
Invest 17-19% in transportation (including insurance, gas and public transportation).
5-7% for clothes and services (including dry-cleaning, washing, and drying).
Invest 5-9% in health (insurance, pharmacy expenses, etc.).
3-6% for entertainment (it cannot be all work and no play).
For miscellaneous expenses like newspapers, education, personal grooming, contributions, etc. destine about 7% to 12% depending on your other expenses.
Once we have a clear vision of where our money is going, it will definitely be easier to organize and follow our parameters each month, until we get a constant flow on our bank accounts.
There are thousands of useful apps to help us get our prioritizing on (Daily Budget for iPhone, for example), but the most important thing is taking that first step towards economic stability. All we have to do is reach out and take it.


Dr. Jacob I. Dienstag, ז"ל, served as the Librarian of Yeshiva University's Mendel Gottesman Library of Hebraica/Judaica for thirty years, from 1940 to 1970. In a ceremony held recently at the Library, within a few days of his first yahrzeit, the office of the Head Librarian was dedicated in his memory. Speakers at the ceremony recalled Dr. Dienstag's personality, his close friendship with the YU roshei yeshiva, among them Rav Soloveitchik, his political orientation as expressed in his strong support for the views of Jabotinsky, his involvement with the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, and especially his contribution to building the Library's collections. A dedicatory plaque and a photograph may now be seen at the entrance to the office, on the fifth floor of the Library.
Dr. Dienstag was a scholar-librarian par excellence, and a bibliographer who was well known for his chosen field of research, Maimonidean scholarship.

Five-time runner-up Andy Murray accepts wildcard for 2022 Australian Open
Five-time Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray has received a wildcard entry for the tournament's main draw.
Murray last played at Melbourne Park in 2019, when he made a teary retirement announcement before undergoing a second hip surgery to extend his career.
The former top-ranked Murray had also accepted a wild-card entry last year but didn't go after testing positive for COVID-19 shortly before he was due to board a charter flight to Melbourne.

If you really like your cheese, come to Bath. Somerset is famous for its incredible produce, especially when it comes to cheddars, blues and of course, bries.
One of Bath's best-known cheese producers is the Bath Soft Cheese Company, located just outside of the city centre in the small charming village of Kelston. This traditional company has been making cheese from its own herd of cows on Park Farm since 1914. Starting with just a small herd of Shorthorn cows and now with over 160 Holstein Friesian cows, the Padfield family have been making award-winning cheeses for generations.
Best of all, the farm is fully organic and all cheeses are made from organic cow's milk.
The Bath Soft Cheese. It is from this cheese, which has been made in the area since 1790 and was reportedly a favourite of Admiral Nelson, that the company takes its name. Expect a creamy, mushroom-infused flavour in this soft, square cheese.
Wyfe of Bath. Named after a story in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Wyfe of Bath is a semi-hard, Gouda-style cheese known for its nutty and sweet flavour. It was created in 2000 and went on to be the gold winner at the 2017 Artisan Cheese Awards thanks to its rich, succulent qualities.
Bath Blue. The triumphant champion at the 2014-15 World Cheese Awards, this exceptional blue is ripened for up to 10 weeks for maximum taste and creaminess. Some compare this classic blue-veined cheese to a Stilton.
Merry Wyfe. This is a relatively new cheese for the company, only launched in 2017 but already bringing in the top awards from multiple global cheese awards competitions. Made with Wyfe of Bath curds but with a rind that is washed in cider, this rich, vegetarian cheese is a must-try!
The Bath Soft Cheese Company tour is a must-do on any cheese-loving Bath visitor's itinerary. For the bargain price of just £10, you can go along to Park Farm to see how the cheese is made and explore the farm. This price includes a cheese tasting, but you need a minimum of six people for a private booking. You can also join an open tour on the first Wednesday of each month. Don't forget to visit the Bath Cheese Shop Café while you're there.
Bath Soft Cheese Company stockists are located all over the city, including Nibbles Cheese, The Fine Cheese Co, Prior Park Farm Shop and many more. It's even sold in markets, supermarkets and specialty cheese shops all over the UK.
Coming to Bath for a cheese adventure? Book a stay in one of our beautiful self-catering Bath apartments, all located within around 20-30 minutes' drive from The Bath Soft Cheese Company's farm in Kelston.

Q: how get current datetime on looping Begin.. sorry my english very bad
i have some code of python.
def come():
    answer = input('yes or no : ').strip()
    str_datetime = now.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
    if answer == 'yes':
        print('Okay.. {}'.format(answer))
        print(str_datetime)
    else:
        print('Please input yes or no again!')
    come()

come()

problem is.. i want to get str_datetime always reload (always chanage according to the time to passes.. i mean)

A: If you initialize the now method of datetime within the come function,
it will be updated every time it is called. Could you try the following?
from datetime import datetime

def come():
    now = datetime.now()  # Initialize within the function
    answer = input('yes or no : ').strip()
    str_datetime = now.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
    if answer == 'yes':
        print('Okay.. {}'.format(answer))
        print(str_datetime)
    else:
        print('Please input yes or no again!')
    come()

come()

Kiribati (disambiguation)
Gilbertese language
Coordinates: 1°25′N 173°00′E / 1.417°N 173.000°E / 1.417; 173.000
Kiribati (/ˌkɪrɪˈbæs/; KEER-ə-bahss or /ˌkɪrɪˈbɑːti/; KEER-ə-BAH-tee), officially the Republic of Kiribati (Gilbertese: Ribaberiki Kiribati), is an island nation in the central Pacific Ocean. The nation comprises 33 atolls and reef islands and one raised coral island; Banaba. They have a total land area of 800 square kilometres (310 sq mi) and are dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometres (1,351,000 square miles). Their spread straddles the equator and the International Date Line, although the Date Line is indented to bring the Line Islands in the same day as the Kiribati Islands. The permanent population is just over 100,000 (2011), half of whom live on Tarawa Atoll.
Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. The capital and now most populated area, South Tarawa, consists of a number of islets, connected by a series of causeways. These comprise about half the area of Tarawa Atoll.
Kiribati is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the IMF and the World Bank, and became a full member of the United Nations in 1999.

The word Kiribati is the modern rendition for "Gilberts", so the name is not usually translated into English. "Gilberts" comes from Captain Thomas Gilbert, who, along with Captain John Marshall, was one of the first Europeans to visit the Gilbert Islands in 1788. Some of the islands had been sighted or visited earlier, including by Commodore John Byron, whose ships happened on Nikunau in 1765. Frequenting of the islands by Europeans and Chinese dates from whaling and oil trading from the 1820s, when no doubt Europeans learnt to speak it, as I-Kiribati learnt to speak English and other languages foreign to them. However, it wasn't until Hiram Bingham II took up missionary work on Abaiang in the 1860s that the language began to take on the written form known today. For example, Bingham was the first to translate the Bible into Gilbertese, and wrote several hymn books, dictionaries and commentaries in the language of the Gilbert Islands.

Victoria's Secret Models
The Top Models in the World!
List of Victoria's Secret Models
Heidi Klum, 'The Body'
Heidi Klum, Every Model's Idol
Heidi Klum.
Heidi Klum (born June 1, 1973) is and has been for many years one of the world's top models. She is many things: a German model, television host, businesswoman, fashion designer, television producer, and actress.
What Klum is mostly, though, is one of the world's top celebrities. She is well known in Victoria's Secret circles for having hosted 2002, 2006-2007, and 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.
Heidi is from a suburb of Cologne, Germany, named Bergisch Gladbach.
She entered modeling after winning the 'Model 92' contest over 25,000 other contestants.
This success brought her a modeling contract with Metropolitan Models of New York after she graduated from high school.
Unlike almost any other model, it is difficult to know where to begin when discussing the career of Heidi Klum.
She has worked with all of the top brands, all of the top photographers, been all over television and in iconic film roles, and built a business empire.
Saying that Heidi Klum is 'this' or 'that' is almost misleading - she is this, that and the other thing as well.
While some publications have from time to time delighted in reporting that she is no longer the highest-paid model - that doesn't figure in her other income.
Including her television and fashion income puts Heidi Klum in a financial league of her own.
Since we have to say something about Heidi Klum or the page would be blank, let's go through the formality and list some of her major roles and appearances in film and television:
'Spin City'
'Sex and the City'
'Zoolander'
'Malcolm in the Middle'
'CSI: Miami'
'Ella Enchanted'
'Project Runway'
'How I Met Your Mother'
'Desperate Housewives'
'America's Got Talent'
'Arctic Justice' (voice)
Of course, Heidi has many other appearances and roles.
Heidi also paints - not house painting - and is an author ('Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge'). She occasionally pens essays for German websites and newspapers.
She is a clothing/shoe/jewelry designer for top brands such as Birkenstock and even designed some of Victoria's Secret lingerie, namely her "The Body" line. This plays on a well-known nickname for Heidi Klum (which Elle Macpherson had first, and there is a tiny hint of bad blood between the two because of it).
Heidi also was a major force behind the 'Project Runway' television show, even getting nominated for Emmys for her hosting chores. She has produced a number of different model-related projects, but by a large margin, her most successful work as a producer has been the 'Project Runway" show beginning in 2004.
Klum also runs the German version of 'Germany's Next Topmodel,' for which she did win an Emmy in 2013.
Naturally, as some of the pictures on this page show, she is chums with the biggest names in show business.
While Heidi is a major businesswoman with interests in both the United States and Europe, it is important to remember that she made her name as a model, particularly with Victoria's Secret. She was with Victoria's Secret for 13 years, finally parting ways in 2010 for murky reasons.
While other models make transient appearances on the 'Hottest Women' lists, Heidi makes the Forbes lists for top-earners. She also is guaranteed a spot on the red carpet pretty much wherever she shows up at any event anywhere in the world.
Two of these famous ladies have their legs insured.
Heidi Klum reportedly has a massive insurance policy on her legs. Supposedly the legs are worth over $2 million. This actually is not as an insane an amount as you might think. Taylor Swift supposedly has her legs insured for $40 million, and Mariah Carey has hers insured for $1 billion. Now, $1 billion is insane for someone who basically is retired, but we digress. Anyway, many things would be covered here, including runway accidents. We all know high heels are hard to walk in. If Heidi were to need a medical visit and surgery due to falling on the catwalk and tearing a ligament in her knees or ankles, this premium covers it. Laser hair removal and any other cosmetic surgeries presumably would be covered as well.
They're just checking to make sure those insured legs are still there.
Heidi has been married a couple of times, first to stylist Ric Pipino, then to the musician Seal. She also has a child with Flavio Briatore, who runs the Renault Formula One team, aside from her three children with Seal. Since divorcing Seal in 2012, Heidi has had a succession of relationships and does not appear likely to be slowing down anytime soon. Heidi Klum is a force of nature, an unstoppable presence who graces other top celebrities with her presence.

Heidi Klum is so secure with herself that she willingly has distributed photos of herself without makeup. This is the mark of a true superstar, who is comfortable enough with her position to show the reality behind the glamour and glitz. Adriana Lima, for instance, has distributed similar pictures. Naturally, Heidi Klum is still very attractive without makeup (as is Adriana), but she has a completely different look.

Karlie Kloss, Powerful Supermodel
Karlie Kloss.
Karlie Elizabeth Kloss (born August 3, 1992) is an American fashion model who has become a celebrity due to her appearances with celebrity friends and for Victoria's Secret. She also is famous these days for being a close chum of Taylor Swift.
Karlie Kloss out and about with gal pal Taylor Swift.
She has walked in the 2011-2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows and was an Angel during those years - the highest rung of Victoria's Secret hierarchy.
Karlie posted this photos of her and Joshua to her Instagram account when she announced their engagement. It quickly got over 500,000 "likes."
Karlie announced her engagement to Joshus Kushner in July 2018. If that last name sounds familiar, it should: Josh Kushner is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, and that name you've almost certainly heard of. In case you haven't, Jared Kushner is the husband of Ivanka Trump. Ivanka and Karlie now will be related, with Ivanka Karlie's sister-in-law. Ivanka wrote on Karlie's Instagram:
So, so happy for you and Josh! I feel blessed to have you as a sister (!!!) Karlie and looking forward to the decades of happy memories we will create together as a family!
Okay, you probably didn't even know that Jared had a brother. Well, he does. Josh has called Ivanka more like a sister than a sister-in-law (which Ivanka, of course, already is to Josh via her own husband). In case you're keeping track, this was the second big relationship news to hit the Trump family during the summer of 2018, the other being Kimberly Guilfoyle's relationship with Donald Trump Jr.
Karlie backstage at the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai, China.
After skipping two years for various ill-explained reasons, Karlie returned to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2017. It is rare for a former Angel to appear in a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, one assumes there is a hidden story behind this. Though widely rumored to return as well, Taylor Swift did not show up at the show.
Karlie is from Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, where she moved as a child. She is of Danish extraction and has three sisters.
Karlie studied ballet as a girl at Caston's Ballet Academia - she credits that with helping her learn how to walk the runways - and began modeling as an amateur at a young age.

Karlie was spotted by a scout while walking the runway for a local benefit.
Karlie's first cover was at the age of 14, for Scene Magazine. Elite New York signed her and brought Karlie to New York.
She soon migrated to NEXT Model Management (this led to a lawsuit) and ultimate IMG Models. She debuted in 2008 at New York Fashion Week. Karlie was off to a dazzling start.
This success immediately led her to more appearances on the runway that season in Milan and Paris, and Karlie was on her way.
Aside from working as a highly prestigious contract Angel with Victoria's Secret, her highest profile jobs have been representing Coach, Louis Vuitton, and L'Oreal Paris
Karlie has had many prestigious covers:
June Vogue Spain
May Porter
April Vogue Thailand
September Harper's Bazaar USA, Harper's Bazaar Japan, Harper's Bazaar Greece, Harper's Bazaar Australia, Harper's Bazaar Russia
August Io Donna, InStyle Australia
June Vogue China, InStyle USA
April Vogue Australia
February CR Fashion Book, Love Want, Jones
January Jolie
December Elle Spain, Elle Spain, L'Officiel Manila, MFF
November Gioia, The Sunday Times Style
October Grazia Italy, Vogue Mexico, Vogue Mexico, Women's Health South Africa, Women's Health, Vogue Latin America, Vogue Mexico
September W Korea, Hola! Fashion, Fashion, W Korea
August The Sunday Times Style
June Lepota & Zdravlje Serbia
May S Magazine, Glamour UK, Vogue Russia
April Cosmopolitan Czech Republic, Elle Australia
March Elle Brazil, JOY Czech, Elle UK, Elle Brazil
February Garage
Here is a sample of Karlie's covers from just the United Kingdom and the United States when she was starting out:
UK: '10 Magazine' - Winter 2008; 'i-D' - Spring/Summer 2011; 'Vogue' - September 2012; 'The Sunday Times Style' - September 23 2012; 'i-D' - Spring 2013; 'The Sunday Times Style' - May 19 2013
US: 'Glitterati Magazine' - November/December 2007; 'Teen Vogue' - February 2008; 'Vogue' - September 2009; 'Teen Vogue' - May 2010; 'W' - July 2012
Karlie has a distinctive runway walk that has been called 'moody' and 'powerful.' Her list of brands is impressive, spanning Jean Paul Gaultier to Victoria's Secret PINK. She is good friends with Taylor Swift, who supposedly has a bedroom decorated with Karlie's photos at her place where Karlie can crash. The tabloids are often full of the pair walking hand in hand through city streets. Karlie is much taller than Taylor, but when she wears flats and Taylor wears heels they are almost the same height. Karlie also hosted the 2013 MTV Movie Awards pre-show.

Karlie and Taylor Swift cemented their relationship with some work together. Karlie was "Knockout" in Taylor's May 2015 music video for the single "Bad Blood." Karlie also appeared in the music video for Chic's "I'll Be There."
Recently, Karlie and Taylor Swift haven't been seen much together. Karlie even was spotted having lunch with Katy Perry, who is considered the anti-Taylor. This has led some to wonder what is going on between the two. However, it appears to be just a case of the two moving on with their lives and not a case of "bad blood." In other words, nothing seems to be going on between the two any longer.

Karlie is good friends with Youtube star Casey Neistat, who helped Karlie establish her own successful presence, Klossy, on Youtube.
Karlie is the godmother of fellow model Jourdan Dunn's son.
Karlie participates in various philanthropic efforts, including The UN's FEED Projects, an effort begun by Lauren Bush.
Karlie's current status with Victoria's Secret is unclear. After leaving the brand in 2014 presumably to study at NYU, Karlie missed the 2015 and 2016 shows - due to her studies, supposedly.
Now, I have never been a Victoria's Secret Model, but I do know something about university people - and I can bet you that they would have advised her to stay a Victoria's Secret Angel rather than suddenly enroll in some school. But, be that is it may, that how the story goes. I'm not necessarily saying this was just a story...
Karlie then ostentatiously (she issued a statement on her Instagram) skipped the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion show due to "work obligation" - a curious reason, as most models would kill for the opportunity to walk in the annual show, and the 2016 one was the first held in fashion capital Paris. Karlie did return to Victoria's Secret runway in Shanghai in 2017, though, so everything is back to normal. Apparently.
It's interesting that Karlie's gal pal Taylor Swift has not been back at Victoria's Secret show since 2014. What is going on with that remains a mystery. This may have something to do with the distance she has been putting between herself and her model friends, or it may be a corporate decision. Victoria's Secret may just have wished to not place all of its chips on one singer, no matter how popular at the moment.
No longer an Angel, Karlie would have to compete to earn a spot in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, walking past the judges along with all the other hopefuls. The big show represents a huge time commitment, something that may make it inconvenient for Karlie these days. However, she gladly undertook that commitment in 2017.

In any event, never fear: Karlie Kloss is not hurting for work. She currently is the face of Swarovski, replacing Miranda Kerr. It doesn't sound like that study at NYU would have done much to help her get that job...

Developers Will Rely On Affordable Housing More Than Ever After Pandemic
The government has continued its support to affordable housing by including taxation benefits to developers of such projects, Hiranandani said. For example, GST levied for under-construction homes in this segment is 1% (compared with 8% for the rest of the market), he said. "The perception is that the process of permissions and clearances for affordable housing projects is largely quick and hassle-free."
According to Amit Goenka, managing director and chief executive officer at Nisus Finance, one of the major incentives for affordable housing developers has been 100% deduction of profit (under Section 80 IBA) from affordable housing projects.
"To further boost 'Housing for All' by 2022, the Finance Ministry in February 2018 budget granted infrastructure status to affordable housing, enabling projects to avail the associated benefits such as lower borrowing rates, tax concessions and increased flow of foreign and private capital."
That prompted developers of mid-luxury homes to foray into affordable housing. Mumbai-based Wadhwa Group launched its first affordable housing project in 2018 under the Pradhan Mantri Awas scheme.
"We tried to capture the growing demand in this segment through our expertise of planning and design," said Bhasker Jain, head, sales, marketing and customer relationship management at Wadhwa Group. The prospects of this segment is good but a lot of supply is coming in, Jain said. "The good thing is this where the future is going to be for at least the next 5-10 years."
According to Jain, developers who plan well, deliver on time, and can create projects with good amenities should continue to do well.
Mahindra LifeSpaces is another developer to enter affordable housing through its Happinest projects six years ago. The group has three new launches planned in the affordable housing segment for 2021.
Urbanisation will increase the demand for affordable housing, said Vimalendra Singh, chief sales officer, Mahindra Lifespaces. "This is because as people move into urban locations, affordable space is the immediate requirement and not the mid-premium segment as people move up the ladder over a period of time."
Developers, however, say the benefits of affordable housing are underutilised because of the cap on the value of the home.
According to the PMAY scheme, affordable home is a house or an apartment worth Rs 45 lakh, and up to 60 square metres in metros, and up to 90 sq m in non-metros.
The cap of Rs 45 lakh is not viable in metros and tier 1 cities, said Hiranandani. "It's in these markets where the demand for such homes is higher due to urbanisation, economic growth and job creation," he said. "In such markets, the scheme can't take off as projects in such locations do not meet scheme parameters."
Developers have been asking the government to increase this limit in bigger cities where rates are higher.
To be viable from a business perspective, such projects need to have huge volumes, Hiranandani said. "To ensure that a large quantum of supply can be created in this segment, the scheme needs to be tweaked to enhance attractiveness for real estate developers."

Items offered on the Auction Service.
(C) ensure Adelaide United Online Auctions transfers clear title to each item to the winner of the auction, subject to receipt of payment.
Details concerning collection and/or delivery of items by a winning bidder following the conclusion of an auction are stated in the item description. The Company and/or Adelaide United Online Auctions may withhold delivery of an item until the winning bidder has paid all sums due in connection with the auction.
The item description will state whether GST is applicable. If GST is applicable and not stated as inclusive it will be payable in addition to the amount of the winning bid.
All auction items offered by as part of the Auction Service are subject to a buyer's premium. The buyer's premium is an additional fee traditionally charged by auction houses on the sale of goods. All online auction bid prices as part of the Auction Service are shown exclusive of the buyer's premium. The buyer's premium is shown separately and will be added to your bid price. This plus any other additional charges is the total amount that you will be required to pay should you win the auction.
Items which display the "Buy Now" option can be purchased immediately for the nominated price, without the need to wait until the auction ends. The Buy Now option is only shown on listings until an item receives a bid of or above the Buy Now price.
Some auctions on the Auction Service are listed with a reserve, which is a hidden minimum price on the item. This amount is the minimum price for which an item will be sold. You will be able to see from the category item listing and within the item page whether or not the reserve has been met. If the reserve is not met at the conclusion of the auction, the item will be passed in. To win the item you must meet or exceed the reserve price and have the highest bid at the close of the auction.
Items are offered for sale as part of the Auction Service are subject to the specific warranty details described with each item and the Company's returns policy below. The Company excludes, to the extent permitted by the Trade Practices Act and state and territory laws, all other warranties or conditions, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
When you bid for an item using the Auction Service, you make an offer to purchase the offer at the bid price. If your bid price is the highest bid at the conclusion of the auction, you will be the winner of the auction and obliged to purchase the item, as set out below at section 4 clause 3 below. Bids cannot be lowered or withdraw once made, unless the Company determines in its sole discretion that exceptional circumstances exist.
You should read the item description carefully prior to bidding to make sure that you clearly understand what it is that is the subject of the auction, and any applicable terms and conditions, including delivery terms, experience dates and buyer's premium.
You must not attempt to solicit sales first listed as part of the Auction Service away from the website. You must not engage in manipulating the price of any auction, including through using secondary registrations, associates or aliases or communicating with other Users with the purpose of manipulating the final purchase price of an item or otherwise acting fraudulently.
When you place a bid for an item the Auction Service will automatically bid on your behalf up to your nominated maximum bid amount. When you are outbid, you will be notified by email (if you have chosen to receive outbid notifications). If there is a proxy bid on an item, and your bid matches the maximum of the proxy, then the proxy will remain the current bid. To beat the proxy an additional bid will need to be made. When you place a bid on an item you may be outbid immediately. This is because someone else has entered a higher maximum bid amount than you.
If you are the highest bidder at the conclusion of an auction, you must pay the winning bid amount, the buyer's premium, the GST and any other fees and charges specified in the item description to the Company within 7 business days of the closure of the auction. If you do not complete the transaction within 7 days the Company may take legal action against you for the amount of all money owing to the Company or cancel the sale to you and re-sell the item and charge you a cancellation fee equal to 30% of the amount owed to the Company. Title in the item does not pass until you pay the full amount payable.
Where two or more bids for the same item are made for the same amount, the winning bid will be the bid that was made first.
The auction closes at the end of the time period specified in the item description where there are no new successful bids during the 5 minutes immediately preceding the end of the time period specified. If a bid that exceeds the previous highest placed bid is made within 5 minutes of the scheduled closing time of an auction, then the auction will go into overtime and the auction will continue to be extended until there are no more high bids made for a continuous 5 minute period. The Company accepts no responsibility for any circumstances or incidents arising as a result of any slight variations that may occur in auction overtime.
The Adelaide United Online Auctions is responsible for delivery of the item to the winning bidder unless the Company notifies otherwise.

Write, Write, Write!: A Fiction Workshop for Teens with Tina Tocco (via Zoom)
Sunday, January 29, 2023 - Monday, January 30, 2023
We're happy to present another installment in this writing series for teens! Returning students are welcomed back for new prompts and new discussion. New students are encouraged to join Tina's fun and engaging classes at any time.
Do you love to write fiction? Would you like to generate new work week after week? Would it be helpful to get feedback from other teens who love and understand writing just as much as you?
In this five-week workshop, you'll use all sorts of prompts to create new stories. There's no right or wrong here, just the fun of diving into a world of words. You'll receive positive feedback, so you can take what you produce in class and confidently improve your creative writing outside of class, both for your own projects and in school. We'll also talk about the writing process, books, and any other word-related things that come into your mind. No judgment. No homework. Just writing.
This workshop will be taught via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed at the time of registration. (Please check spam / promotions filters.) Please email [email protected] with any questions.
Tina Tocco is a Pushcart Prize nominee. A writer for both adults and young readers, Tina's work has appeared in many publications, including Highlights, Cricket, Humpty Dumpty, Turtle, Crab Creek Review, and Italian Americana. Her work has been featured in various anthologies, such as The Best Small Fictions 2019 and Best Nonfiction Food (2020), and will soon appear in the middle-grade ghost story anthology Haunted States of America (Macmillan Publishing Group). Tina earned her MFA in creative writing from Manhattanville College, where she was editor-in-chief of Inkwell, the college's national literary journal. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She teaches for Kids Short Story Connection (Greenburgh), Arts Escape (Connecticut), GrubStreet (Massachusetts), Hugo House (Washington), and other organizations.
The workshop will run on five Sundays between January 29 – March 5, from 1-3 pm EST. Class will not meet on February 19 for President's Day weekend.

Q: akka dispatcher is not working I am writing the setting of my disptacher in addtional conf file and then loading it in application.conf but dispatcher is not working when i am giving the full path where the dispatcher located in my file i am also assuring that it dispatcher exsits or not by using if statarements
val config = ConfigFactory.load()

      // an actor needs an ActorSystem
      val system = ActorSystem("TestActorSystem",config)
      if(system.dispatchers.hasDispatcher("akka.actor.directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher"))
      {println("directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher exists")}
      else
      {
        println("dispatcher does not exists")
      }

when i run that directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher exists printed on console but when i try to attached it via code
 val DirectUserWriteMongoActor = system.actorOf(Props[DirectUserWriteMongoActor].withDispatcher("akka.actor.directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher"), name = "directwritemongoactorr")
      DirectUserWriteMongoActor ! DirectUserWriteToMongo(directUser)

log indicate that it is using default-dispatcher rather then my own dispatcher named directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher
here is my full code
application.conf
include "DirectUserWriteMongoActor"

akka {
   loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
   loglevel = "DEBUG"

}

DirectUserWriteMongoActor.conf
akka {
   loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
   loglevel = "DEBUG"

  actor{
     loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
   loglevel = "DEBUG"
    ############################### Setting for a Dispatcher #####################################
    directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher {
         type = Dispatcher
    executor = "fork-join-executor"
  fork-join-executor {
    parallelism-min = 2
    parallelism-factor = 2.0
    parallelism-max = 10
  }
  throughput = 10
                  } #end default-dispatcher

   }  #end Actor
}  #end Akka

and here is my code
object TestActor extends App{
 val config = ConfigFactory.load()
 val system = ActorSystem("TestActorSystem",config)

      if(system.dispatchers.hasDispatcher("akka.actor.directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher"))
      {println("directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher exists")}
      else
      {
        println("directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher does not exists")
      }

      val DirectUserWriteMongoActor = system.actorOf(Props[DirectUserWriteMongoActor].withDispatcher("akka.actor.directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher"), name = "directwritemongoactorr")
      DirectUserWriteMongoActor ! DirectUserWriteToMongo(directUser)

DirectUserWriteMongoActor.scala
    case class DirectUserWriteToMongo (directuser:DirectUser)

     class DirectUserWriteMongoActor extends Actor{

      val log = Logging(context.system, this)
     def receive = {
      case DirectUserWriteToMongo(directuser) =>
          log.debug("writing to mogo")

           log.info("message received DirectUserWriteInMongo")
           val directUserStore= new directUserStore
           log.info("going to call store in mongo")
}}

here is the output printed on console
2015-04-27 10:40:01.392 INFO  Slf4jLogger [TestActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-2]  -Slf4jLogger started
directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher exists
2015-04-27 10:40:02.262 INFO  DirectUserWriteMongoActor [TestActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-3] akka://TestActorSystem/user/directwritemongoactorr -message received DirectUserWriteInMongo
2015-04-27 10:40:02.263 INFO  DirectUserWriteMongoActor [TestActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-3] akka://TestActorSystem/user/directwritemongoactorr -going to call store in mongo

please help me what is wrong in my code or in my conf setting disptacher was there but it is not working why os that so
This should be printed
TestActorSystem-akka.actor.directUserWriteMongoActor-dispatcher-3

instead of this
TestActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-3

please help me also i am using akka dispatch and additional conf files for the very first time

A: You're probably using SimpleLogger. This logger uses the default dispatcher for logging.
There is nothing wrong with you code. Including this: println(context.dispatcher) to your actor receive method will inform you, that he is using the correct directUserWriteMongoActor dispatcher.
On the other hand, if you add println(system.dispatcher) to your App object, you will find out, that outside the actor the default dispatcher is used. This is correct since you specified only the dispatcher of the actor, not the globally used dispatcher.
