August 29, 2019 Lucas Johnson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University's Hospitality and Tourism program in the College of Business is helping students capitalize on the state's multibillion-dollar tourism and hospitality industry.
Last year, Nashville took in $7 billion from tourists, according to the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation.

TSU has been a leader among other local colleges in providing education in Tourism and Hospitality to meet the needs of the booming industry in Nashville.
"The partnerships we've cultivated with businesses and organizations across the city have been vital to our success as educators," says TSU President Glenda Glover.
"From the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp., to the Music City Center, to a long list of hotels and entertainment attractions across Davidson County, these community partners have helped launch careers for area university students. In return, these organizations receive ambitious, energetic young minds who help meet a growing employment need as the Music City's brand continues to draw millions from across the globe eager to experience our rich and friendly culture."
Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, Dean of the College of Business at TSU, echoes President Glover's sentiments that the university is in a unique position to provide students the very best education and workforce preparation in the industry.
"We are fortunate to be located in a city that is on the move!" says Dr. Lownes-Jackson.
"In 2018 alone, 15 new hotels and 131 new restaurants opened and Nashville was repeatedly named as one of the best travel destinations of the year. This represents a tremendous opportunity for our students to grow and lead within an industry that is thriving in Nashville."
The College of Business dean adds that TSU's Hospitality and Tourism program combines "rigorous academic training with real-world experience in the industry."
Zuhair Al-Bunni is a junior majoring in business administration with an emphasis in hospitality. Through TSU's Hospitality and Tourism program, he currently has an internship at a local hotel, and plans to one day be a general manager at one.
"The program at TSU is helping to give me real-world experience," says Al-Bunni. "The market is expected to keep on booming. So when I graduate, I will have all I need to be successful in this industry."
The university's Hospitality Management program in particular gives students the opportunity to build their entrepreneurial, managerial, functional, operational, and analytical skill set to maximize their success.
Because of Nashville's lucrative tourism industry, they are able to benefit from a dynamic local, national, and global competitive environment.
"The College of Business has partnered with the leaders of Nashville hotels, restaurant groups, and others within the tourism industry to provide our students with a forward-thinking experience that will prepare them to lead within the industry," says Dr. Chunxing Fan, chair of the Department of Business Administration.
There were 71,140 hospitality industry jobs in Nashville in 2018, and 15.8 million visitors traveled to the Greater Nashville area in fiscal year 2019, a 7 percent increase over FY18's 14.8 million, according to NCVC.
"It is no secret that Nashville's economic boom is intimately tied to its growing hospitality and tourism community," says Marie Sueing, NCVC's vice president of multi-cultural community relations.
"A professional workforce is critical to the continued success of this industry, and great programs such as the one offered at Tennessee State University will help to prepare individuals for the many career opportunities available in the hospitality and tourism field. Of equal importance, is having a rich and diverse workforce to ensure that visitors from all over the world feel welcome in all of our communities. TSU will play a significant role in helping to fill the need for these leadership positions throughout Music City."

TSU hosts Opportunity Zone training session
December 12, 2018 Lucas Johnson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University's College of Business partnered with the state Department of Economic and Community Development on Wednesday to educate local stakeholders on the benefit of Opportunity Zones.
Mayor David Briley welcomed prospective investors to the Opportunity Zone training session in the Avon Williams Campus auditorium and encouraged them to take advantage of the legislation, particularly in Nashville.
The Qualified Opportunity Zone community development benefit was created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed last year. The federal benefit is designed to encourage long-term investment in low-income communities through Qualified Opportunity Funds.
There are 176 tracts in Tennessee that are approved Opportunity Zones. Twenty of the zones are in Nashville, and TSU's main campus is located in one of them.
"This Opportunity Fund concept gives us another vehicle to attract investors, so that we can do targeted developments in our communities," said Isaac Addae, an assistant professor in TSU's College of Business.

Investors choosing to re-invest their capital gains into opportunity funds can earn three types of federal capital gains tax benefits: temporary deferral, a step-up in basis, and permanent exclusion on capital gains accrued after the initial investment. Additionally, Opportunity Zone investments can be paired with almost any federal, state or local incentive. Qualifying investments include multifamily housing, industrial development, brownfield redevelopment, retail development, operating businesses and a variety of other investments.
According to state officials, the goal of the training session (one of several across the state this month) is to educate stakeholders on how Opportunity Zones can be implemented throughout the state. Each session pairs potential investors with projects, reviews various use case scenarios and provides time for open discussion.
Jack Armstrong, a commercial real estate broker, attended the session at TSU and said it was beneficial.
"It's a good opportunity for us brokers and people in the real estate world to get a better understanding of what's out there and how we can better service our clients," said Armstrong.

TSU marks historic milestone during fall commencement with Executive MBA Program graduates
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University added another page to the institution's historical achievements when its first Executive MBA class walked the stage at the 2018 fall commencement ceremony on Saturday, December 8.
The 22-member group received degrees in August, but wanted to mark the special moment by participating in the graduation exercise. The significance of their achievement was highlighted when TSU President Glenda Glover acknowledged the class and asked them to stand.
"It was extremely exciting and gratifying to see the first cohorts of the TSU executive MBA culminate this historic journey by participating in fall commencement," said TSU President Glover. "TSU is Nashville's only 4-year public institution and it just made sense that we have a business program tailored for the corporate community, the working professional. Our executive MBA has national and global appeal, as evident from some of the students that were from as far away as Colorado, and also internationally, representing Italy."
The 12-month program, which started last fall, was delivered in a hybrid format consisting of both in-person and online course offerings. One local student was Dr. Anita Sykes-Smith. Dr. Sykes-Smith has a long and successful career as a dentist and medical school professor. However, she felt something was missing professionally, and looked to Tennessee State University to fill that gap.
Last August, she joined the 21 other cohorts of career professionals, industry executives, a college dean and independent consultants for the inaugural class of the newly launched TSU Executive MBA program. Like Sykes-Smith, they were also looking for that missing link with the desire to move their careers to a higher level of success — and TSU provided it.
"The opportunity to attend a 12-month MBA program that provided a world-class management education while continuing my career is priceless," said Sykes-Smith, a general dentist and assistant professor at Meharry Medical College.
"I believe the program accomplished its goal of inspiring participants to be constantly learning, building new skills, and stretching to take on new challenges."
Sykes-Smith added that the program helped enhance her skills and knowledge by providing insight into management strategies and analysis for problem solving, which she believed will be extremely beneficial to her career.
Business professors and seasoned professionals with industry and business background such as current and former company executives, taught the program. Among them was President Glover, a certified public accountant with a high level of experience in the corporate world.
Program participants also had the opportunity to spend 10 days studying outside the United States to broaden their understanding of global leadership.
David Pelton, a member of the graduating class, has been in the business world as an independent consultant in marketing and government relations for more than 20 years. But just like Sykes-Smith, he needed a brush-up in accounting and how to deal with personalities in the workplace. He said the TSU MBA program was just what he needed.
"This program helped me gain knowledge and develop better skills and understanding of things I thought I knew in serving my clients," said Pelton. "I travel quite a lot in my business and the program design worked perfectly to do class work, as well as serve clients."
Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, dean of the College of Business, said the goal of the EMBA program was to offer an affordable, convenient, accredited, business curriculum for busy business professionals.
"Congratulations to our first graduating class of outstanding individuals for their achievement," Lownes-Jackson said. "In one short year, EMBA program participants have acquired critical business knowledge, along with readily applicable global business and leadership strategies that will enable them to make an immediate and profound impact."
Anis Mnif, director of graduate programs in the College of Business, agreed.
"The Executive MBA provided participants a strong foundation for a thriving career," Mnif said "It combined cutting-edge research results and theory provided by our renowned faculty and real-life practical examples made available through the rich executive-level experiences of the program's Executives in Residence."
Other members of the inaugural EMBA graduating class included: Joyce A. Barbour, Janet E. Blakemore, Rosalyn D. carpenter, JoAnn A. Carter-Almore, Frederick W. Cawthon, Samuel K. Hargrove, Bradley C. Jackson, Debbie Jacobs, Latrisha Jemison, Marrecco D. Johnson, Tonya C. Kilpatrick and Matthew W. Muterspaugh.
Also graduating were: Stefania Placentini, Sharon W. Reynolds, Yvonne J. Sanders, Leah Sarnicola, Wilma K. Sharpe, Deborah K. Williams and Grant L. Winrow.
A second class for the TSU EMBA started in August and had 20 cohorts. For more information on the TSU Executive MBA program, visit http://www.tnstate.edu/mba/e_mba.aspx or call 615-963-7295.

TSU Business Student Receives Three-Year $75,000 Scholarship from Toyota and Jesse Jackson PUSH Program
July 31, 2018 Emmanuel Freeman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Dominique Davis always thought that making good grades would be her pass to free college education. She was right! Davis will not have to worry about fees for the rest of her college career.
On July 18, Davis, a TSU sophomore business administration major, received a $75,000 scholarship offer from Toyota through the Jesse Jackson Rainbow PUSH Excel program.
Dominique Davis
"I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected as a new Jesse Jackson Fellows Scholar and are being awarded a $25,000 scholarship for the 2018-2019 academic year," a letter from PUSH said. The scholarship is renewable each year for a maximum of three years.
"I am so excited; this is unbelievable," said Davis, who is from Danville, Illinois. "I have been praying for this and it finally came through."
Davis is one of only 10 students from a group of 20 semi-finalists to be selected for the scholarship made possible through a partnership between Toyota and Rainbow PUSH Excel. Applicants must be engineering or business majors, have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, with demonstrated participation in community service, and must show need for financial assistance.
As part of the scholarship, Toyota offers successful applicants the opportunity to work at one of their facilities across North America to gain valuable real-world experience, as well as be paired with mentors from Toyota management to help guide the students through the next three years of college. Davis is currently an intern with Nissan in Nashville.
Davis, who has a 3.8 GPA with a concentration in supply chain management, said a family member told her about the scholarship program.
"I immediately said this is a great opportunity," Davis said. "So I filled out the application and sent it in. I got a call back to go the next step, which included an interview with Toyota. I passed the application phase with the Jesse Jackson committee. I got another call back. And I got the scholarship."
The third of four children, Davis said from elementary school she always made all A's.
"Coming out of high school my GPA was great. I told my parents we are not going to pay for college," Davis said, but her plan did not quite materialize the first year. Although she could have received a full ride to any college in Illinois, Davis said she chose TSU, out of state. As a result, funds she received were not enough to cover her full out-of-state fees.
"We had to take out a loan in my freshman year, and that was hard because my sister had just graduated from the University of Illinois-Champaign, and my parents were stretched," she said.
Davis said she chose TSU because of the HBCU experience. All through elementary to high school, she had attended predominantly white schools.
"I wanted to attend an HBCU," said Davis, who credits her parents and her late grandfather for the motivation to do well. "I wanted to get a feel of the culture and Tennessee State felt like home. It felt like the right move to come here. It has been a great experience."
Davis' goal is to own a charter school.
"I want to start my own charter school to help kids and make sure they have opportunities that so many other kids may not have," she said.

TSU Executive MBA students have earth shaking experience in Japan
June 27, 2018 Emmanuel Freeman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Participants in Tennessee State University's Executive MBA program experienced much more than they expected during their recent visit to Japan as part of an 11-day global immersion program.
The 10-member group, which returned to the U.S. June 22, were among those who felt the earthquake that registered 6.1 on the Richter scale.
"It was indeed the most frightening experience of my life," said Grant Winrow, a member of the group and special assistant to the President of TSU. "What only lasted 10-15 seconds, felt like 10-15 minutes."
TSU Executive MBA global immersion participants gather for a photo during their visit to CMIC Holdings Company in Japan. Seated, from left, are: Stefania Placentini, Leah Sarnicola, Janet Blakemore, Joyce Barbour, Anita Sykes-Smith and Tonya Kilpatrick. Standing, from left, are: Marrecco Johnson, Grant Winrow, Dr. S. Keith Hargrove, Philip Trella (Executive In Residence), Frederick Cawthon, CMIC Holdings' Senior Management Executive Officer Phiilippe Auvaro, Dr. Melvin Johnson (Faculty), and Anis Mnif (EMBA Program Director). (Submitted photo)
The quake hit the Japanese city of Osaka at about 8:15 a.m., on June 18, the ninth day of the immersion program, but was felt 27 miles away in Kyoto where group members were having breakfast.
"We were at the hotel … and all of a sudden, the ground started shaking," said Anis Mnif, group adviser and director of Graduate Studies in the TSU College of Business. "Since our hotel was located above a train station, we thought it was a train. To our surprise, it was not. The hotel crew came to us and said, 'Hey, follow us but don't panic.'"
Fortunately, no one in the group was injured, and they still made the most of their visit.
The global immersion program is part of the 12-course inaugural EMBA program intended to give participants real-world, real-life experience of international culture and business operation.

A business faculty member, an industry executive board member to the College of Business, and the EMBA program director led the visit. As part of their experience, participants were immersed in the Japanese culture through food cuisine, visiting historical temples and shrines. They also visited five leading corporations and held discussions on topics such as R&D and emerging trends in the automotive industry; core business and global development strategies and prospects for growth; and communications, public relations and marketing in Japan. Companies visited included Coca Cola, Mitsubishi, the Ritz Carlton, SAMCO and CMIC Holdings.
Dr. S. Keith Hargrove, dean of the College of Engineering and a student in the EMBA program, said the global immersion was very enriching.
"We learned about global business operations, consumer behavior, mergers and acquisitions, and marketing strategies," Hargrove said. "These definitely add to the outstanding credentials and knowledge obtained in the innovative and experienced-based EMBA program."
In addition to Kyoto, the group also visited Tokyo, and Kamakura, Nashville's Japanese sister city.
According to Mnif, the global emersion experience is an optional component of the EMBA program. As part of the Global Residency course offered during the summer, program participants have the opportunity to spend 10 days studying outside the United States to broaden their understanding of leadership in a global economy and to experience firsthand the business practices and cultures of a foreign country. For those students who cannot travel, they have the option of taking the Global Challenges Class at TSU, Mnif said.
Dr. Melvin Johnson, professor of economics and the only EMBA faculty on the trip, said Japan was selected because of its unique and deep history and culture, and as "a global leader in innovation and business development strategies."
"Japan's natural barriers of unique heritage, language and business culture and customs create a challenging and positive learning experience for students that sharpen their abilities to operate successfully worldwide," said Johnson, who is also a former president of TSU.
Philip Trella, an Executive In Residence, also accompanied the group.
Other EMBA students on the global immersion visit were: Joyce Barbour, Janet Blakemore, Frederick Cawthon, Marrecco Johnson, Tonya Kilpatrick, Stefania Placentini, Leah Sarnicola and Anita Sykes-Smith.

Tennessee State University Business Students, Faculty Offer Free Tax Service in Partnership with IRS
February 28, 2018 Emmanuel Freeman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – For more than 16 years, Sonya Nicole Martin used private accounting firms to prepare her IRS tax return for a fee.
But the last two years, Martin got a break and is now getting her returns done for free by certified IRS tax preparers, thanks to a program in the College of Business at Tennessee State University.
"This is a big help," says Martin. "It is saving me a lot and I am able to give back to my family and spend that extra money that I am saving on other items."
A few years ago, TSU partnered with the United Way of Metro Nashville to administer VITA, or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, an IRS initiative to offer free tax preparation services for low to middle-income individuals making $66,000 or less per year. Accounting students and other business majors in the COB, who have been certified by the IRS, along with their professors, administer the program.
The free tax service is available every Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on the Avon Williams Campus. It will continue to the end of the IRS tax-filing deadline.
"The College of Business is very pleased to offer this free service to the community," says Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, dean of the college. "This is also an ideal service-learning initiative of the college where our accounting majors are able to get practical hands-on experience while helping others."
According to officials, between 30-40 returns are prepared each Saturday, and this filing season it is projected that 400-500 returns will be prepared. That's up from 300 last season. Sixteen undergraduate and four graduate students are helping this year as part of their class work.

To participate in the program, volunteer students must take and pass Tax-1, Individual Income Tax, a required course and be certified by the IRS. Students get three hours of college credit as an accounting elective.
John R. Powers, a CPA and adjunct professor of accounting and business law, is the coordinator of the campus VITA program. He is responsible for the final quality of returns and files the completed returns electronically.
"Although this is a free service, we try to maximize the refund of any client, and that's where I come in with my years of experience," says Powers, majority owner of a Nashville accounting firm, who has been in the business for more than 30 years.
For the students, Power says, this is life experience whether they want to go into the tax field or not, it prepares them from a professional development standpoint.
Kathy Grant has met all requirements to participate in the VITA program and is helping for the first time this year. The senior accounting major says she is enjoying the "double" benefit the program offers.
"I am doing something to give back to the community, and I am also learning in the process," says Grant, of Nashville, who wants to become a CPA "This is not just class, it is a business because I can use this education as I step out into the workforce."
For Mariam Sadat, a senior, human resources major from Cairo, she is encouraged by the satisfaction people get from the services she and her fellow students provide.
"They are just too happy to know that they have avoided all the potential headaches with the free service," says Sadat. "This is also a good practice for me to get this experience."
Dr. Stephen Shanklin, CPA and interim chair of the Department of Accounting, who supervises the VITA program, says great emphasis is put on the quality of students selected for the program.
"Students with As and Bs are the ones we are looking for," he says. "They can be from any discipline whatsoever in the college, but they have to have at least completed that course and have a desire to be tax preparers. And even at that they are not eligible until they interview with Prof. Powers."
"In essence, we are preparing these students for the workplace," adds Powers. "It is very important helping the community because we realize that the tax refund, no matter what amount, they are truly needed by the people who come here. So we prepare our students to do everything in accordance with the IRS code."

Nashville, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University's College of Business held an open house on May 11 to showcase its new Executive MBA program.
Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, dean of TSU's College of Business, speaks to open house attendees. (Submitted photo)
The event, which had a strong turnout, took place at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville. The hotel will also serve as the program's weekend residency.
"TSU's Executive MBA Program enhances the vibrancy of the Nashville area's graduate education tapestry by offering an affordable, convenient, accredited, business curriculum for busy business professionals who desire to catapult their careers to a higher level of success," said Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, dean of the College of Business. "In one short year, EMBA program participants will acquire critical business knowledge, along with readily applicable global business and leadership strategies, that will enable them to make an immediate and profound impact."
The 12-month program, which starts in the fall, is delivered in a hybrid format consisting of both in-person and online course offerings. Program participants also have the opportunity to spend 10 days studying outside the United States to broaden their understanding of global leadership.
Frederick Cawthon of Nashville was among those who attended the open house. The 48-year-old, who works in product management, had a daughter to graduate during TSU's undergraduate commencement earlier this month, and another is a TSU sophomore seeking a degree in business.
While he likes the idea of keeping TSU in the family, Cawthon said the university's EMBA program is appealing because he believes it will make him more competitive in the workforce.
"It's an opportunity to network, to become more knowledgeable, more talented; to raise the bar," Cawthon said.
Dr. Steve Shanklin is one of the program's instructors. He will be teaching a managerial and decision-making course that he said provides a quantitative and qualitative assessment of good decisions.
Shanklin believes Nashville businesses will benefit from TSU's EMBA program, as well as the participants.
"Every small firm in town, every medium-size firm, and even those that are world-class operations in our city," Shanklin said, "they're strengthened by having stronger people with better decision skills and a dedication to the Nashville area. TSU plays a big part in that."
Jim Schmitz, area president for Regions Bank, agreed.
"Tennessee State University's Executive MBA program will strengthen Nashville's workforce by providing participants with the knowledge to be even better business leaders," Schmitz said.
Dr. Mark Hardy, TSU's vice president for academic affairs, said the program's instructors are top-notch.
"We believe that with the caliber of individuals who will be teaching, the program is going to be very exciting," he said.

Marine Corps Leadership Seminar Teaches TSU Business Students Critical Skills for the Real World
September 6, 2016 Emmanuel Freeman
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University business majors are taking notes from the U.S. military.
On Sept. 7, more than 40 students from the College of Business participated in a daylong leadership seminar conducted by a group of Marines.
The workshop was part of Marine Week, an annual event in which the Corps take over a major city to show the public the capabilities of the U.S. Marine. It includes displays of some of the military's big guns and hard wares, as well as appearances at schools and veteran hospitals.
At the downtown Avon Williams Campus, students participated in the Marine Corps Leadership Seminar, which exposes business students to Marine Corps leadership principles that ensure success in the business world.
It emphasizes courage, tenacity and teamwork they say are needed to "help you stand out from the competition."
Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Bailey
"We really think that the same leadership traits and principles that are used in the Marine Corps, whether on the battlefield or whether at bases or stations, are the same type of leadership that is required and expected of business leaders," Marine Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Bailey said.
A 39-year veteran of the U.S. military, Bailey is the Marine deputy commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations.
He said the seminar also provides an opportunity to expose Tennessee State University students to young Marines as they talk about their experiences in the Corps.
"The leadership traits and principles that they have lived through in the Marine Corps are the same ones that the students can gain from, such as integrity and initiative, to be successful in the business world," Bailey said.
Darien Munroe
Derrien Munroe is a senior business administration major with concentration in marketing. His future goal is to own a marketing firm. He said the seminar was very timely and taught him skills that could be critical in his future.
"What I take away from this seminar is how to be a better leader using ethics and morals to problem solve and develop better decision-making to better cope in life," Munroe said. "I learned snippets and tools to correlate in the business world."
The Dean of the College of Business, Dr. Millicent Lownes-Jackson, said the Marine Corps Leadership Seminar was in line with the goal of the college to equip business students with a "strong portfolio of valuable leadership skills" that attract potential employers.
"That is why this leadership seminar was so vastly important, as it afforded our students the opportunity to learn the Marine's world-renowned principles that form the traits and values that define character as a leader," Lownes-Jackson said.
This marks the first year of the College's involvement with Marine Week Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Like many students, Starr Ambrosia Muslim usually spends her fall break relaxing with family and friends or studying for the upcoming final exams. For fall 2015, the Detroit junior Business Administration major had something else in mind – put herself aside and help others most in need.
"Doing something that puts a smile on another person's face just makes me happy," Muslim said. "Many of us take for granted how fortunate we are when there are people who wish they had just a fraction of the things we enjoy."

On Nov. 24, Muslim, five other students and staff of the Tennessee State University Supply Chain Management Program in the College of Business spent the day feeding the hungry. They volunteered with the Samaritan Ministries, an outreach program of the Temple Church, to help serve lunch to the homeless.
"Volunteering to serve food to the homeless was an excellent experience I will not soon forget," said Amine Samoudi, also a junior Business Administration major. "I believe volunteering is like a glue that holds the community together because the feeling keeps us connected and makes the community a better place for everyone."
In addition to feeding the homeless, the students helped with set-up as they welcomed guests with "smiles and kind words."

For more than 30 years the Samaritan Ministries has been a mainstay in providing services to the homeless of Nashville, according church officials. With support from the Second Harvest Food Bank and other donations, the ministry provides food, clothing and other services to needy residents of the community.
"It's not enough for students to receive a great education," said Tracy Pleasants, interim director of the Supply Chain Management Program. "They must also learn to give back to the communities in which they live. This emphasis on academic excellence and social responsibility are core values of the College of Business."
The Supply Chain Management Student Organization decided to volunteer with Samaritan Ministries as part of their community involvement commitment, Pleasant said. "These outstanding students not only want to be known for their academic excellence but also for their community leadership," she added.
Other students who participated in the community service were graduate students Zenan Li, from Luoyang, China; Ambiobola Akimya, from Akure, Nigeria; and Sarita Criswell, a senior from Nashville. They are all Business Administration majors with concentration in Supply Chain Management.

Pasco County temporarily suspends jury trials due to COVID-19
The chief judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit said the move is because of recent increases in COVID-19 cases in the county.
Credit: Thinkstock
As of Wednesday, jury trials are temporarily suspended in Pasco County.
Anthony Rondolino, the chief judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, said the modifications to the court's operation plan is because of recent increases in COVID-19 cases.
The temporary suspension means no juries will be impaneled in either of the two courthouses there -- in New Port Richey and Dade City -- and no witnesses expected to testify will be required at those facilities. The suspension of jury trials is expected to be in effect until at least Jan. 4, 2021.
Trials will continue in Pinellas County for now.
The court said Rondolino's decision came after a review of recent coronavirus data in the county, showing the positivity rate rising above 10 percent -- "a threshold that requires any chief judge in the state to consider changing his or her court operation plan," a court spokesperson said.
All jury trials in the state were previously put on hold by the Florida Supreme Court back in March. When they transitioned to Phase 2, jury trials restarted in October.

What You Can Do About False Animal Welfare Labels on Meat, Dairy, and Eggs
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a "What We Heard" report about its planned overhaul of Canadian food labelling regulations. What We Heard reports are issued after stakeholders are consulted on proposed policy changes; themes in stakeholder feedback are identified and summarized.
What does food labelling have to do with animal protection, anyway? Meat, dairy and egg packaging often tries to present products as animal-friendly, using terms like "free range," "cage-free," "grass-fed" and "family farm." These labels suggest to consumers that animals were raised in a certain way and may convince them to buy or even pay more for animal products with these labels.
If labelling laws are lax, there is no incentive for producers to improve conditions for animals, because they can mislead consumers instead of making actual changes. In addition, consumers who care about animals may be led to believe that so-called humane agriculture is kind for animal…

There is not one form of social media that works best for everyone.
A well maintained and up to date church website is important because it may be the first contact for someone and an ongoing consistent contact for others.
Churches are also urged to take advantage of free media tools, such as Pay pal, HTML etc. One of the most important issues regarding social media is to find someone who is passionate and willing to serve.
Social media is more than a one-way communication to tell people about us. It can be an invitation to conversation and connection, a two-way experience.
The virtual world is a missionary field like any other.
Are we ready for how people will respond through social media? The challenge can become how to minister to that "second" congregation. Social media does not guarantee people will join our churches, but is still a way to plant seeds and make connections in faith and spirit.
Social media will require us then to think differently about our churches and our outreach. How do you offer pastoral care? What invitations to community can we extend and maintain? Who is the "Executive Minister" of cyberspace?
A support group has been started by one individual to help her cope with an illness.
Another example included the use of "Social Media" to provide training and education via recorded workshops.
Virtual churches serve an important mission to link those who are sick and shut-in her and see the word of God.
Explore the time demands of social media on leaders and clergy and talk about boundaries.
Suggest to ABCUSA that we at the denominational level engage social media more effectively–using the cloud is a first step, but there is so much more! Can we have an ABCUSA message board attached to our website or FaceBook where we can remain connected and share our ideas outside of something like the Mission Summit?
Youth can provide emotional support for older generations as they enter the realm of social media.
We need to use social media in order to connect with our world.
We must realize that there is no privacy and should be no expectation of privacy when using social media.
Common sense and having feedback and accountability are necessary to use it in a positive way.
Social media is both a great gift and a dangerous one.
The tools have made it easier than ever to use social media, but we still must use it strategically and in line with our overall mission objectives.

Conversation notes and summaries are shared to allow American Baptists and friends to easily review and use these Mission Summit Conversations and the Mission Table learnings as they wish.

Nominations sought for Univ. of Nebraska-Lincoln's next chancellor
University of Nebraska-Lincoln(MGN)
By Zane Culjat
Published: Jan. 10, 2023 at 4:32 PM CST
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - University of Nebraska System president Ted Carter announced today he has initiated a national search for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's next chancellor.
Carter hired AGB Search, a national firm, to assist in the process. He is also inviting nominations for those who wish to serve on the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee. Members of this committee will gather and present input from stakeholders on opportunities and challenges the university faces, in addition to working with the firm on reviewing applications and identifying potential candidates.
Current UNL chancellor Ronnie Green announced in December that he is retiring in June after seven years on the job.
"Chancellor Green has graciously given us a runway that will allow for a smooth transition of leadership -- a crucial advantage at a time when the growth and success of the University of Nebraska matters now more than ever to our state," Carter said.
Nominations can be emailed to president@nebraska.edu. They must be submitted by Jan. 24.

Complaint accuses Trump campaign of masking $170 million in spending
President Donald Trump's reelection campaign violated the law by masking millions in spending, a nonprofit democracy group alleged in a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.
The Campaign Legal Center said in the 81-page filing that the president's reelection campaign and campaign committee hid $170 million in spending to major vendors as well as family members and associates by diverting the money through firms headed by Brad Parscale, who was replaced as campaign manager earlier this month, as well as other senior campaign officials.
The nonprofit alleged that the campaign effectively laundered money in order to hide payments to contractors and advisors, including the maker of a campaign app, as well as Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who is dating the president's son Donald Trump Jr.
"This scheme flies in the face of transparency requirements mandated by federal law, and it leaves voters and donors in the dark about where the campaign's funds are actually going," said Trevor Potter, a former Republican FEC chair and the president of the Campaign Legal Center.
The complaint is unlikely to lead to any penalties. The FEC has just three confirmed commissioners, and it requires the vote of four in order to take action. Caroline Hunter, a Republican commissioner, resigned last month.
Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said in a statement that "the campaign complies with all campaign finance laws and FEC regulations."
The complaint alleges that the Trump campaign and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee have shielded their spending primarily through a clearinghouse firm called American Made Media Holding Corporation, whose directors include campaign operations director Sean Dollman and campaign counsel Alex Cannon.
Further spending was obscured through payments to Parscale's consulting firm Parscale Strategy, it claims.
Federal election law requires the disclosure of payments greater than $200, including to subcontractors if they are not sufficiently independent of the campaign. In the complaint, the Campaign Legal Center says the Trump campaign unlawfully evaded that requirement by "laundering the funds."
"These schemes have disguised millions in payments to companies engaged in significant work for the campaign, as well as payments to Trump family members or senior campaign staff like Lara Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle," the complaint says.
"By failing to report payments to the campaign's true vendors and employees, the Trump campaign and Trump Make America Great Again Committee have violated, and continue to violate, federal law's transparency requirements and undermine the vital public information role that reporting is intended to serve," it adds.
The complaint alleges that the campaign has used American Made Media Holding Corporation to obscure payments made to the software developer Phunware for the creation of a campaign app.
Citing Phunware's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Campaign Legal Center said that American Made Media has paid Phunware about $4 million in 2019 and 2020, making it Phunware's "top client."
The complaint says that other companies the campaign has paid through American Made Media and failed to disclose to the FEC include Realtime Media, an agency run by Trump campaign digital director Gary Coby, Opn Sesame, a peer-to-peer text message company also run by Coby, and Harris Sikes Media, which placed the campaign's $5.6 million Super Bowl advertisement.
Murtaugh said that American made Media "is a campaign vendor responsible for arranging and executing media buys and related services at fair market value."
"AMMC does not earn any commissions or fees. It builds efficiencies and saves the campaign money by providing these in-house services that otherwise would be done by outside vendors. The campaign reports all payments to AMMC as required by the FEC," Murtaugh said.
The complaint cited media reporting that Parscale Strategy has been paying the salaries of Guilfoyle and Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, the president's son. According to the Campaign Legal Center, the campaign has paid Parscale Strategy more than $2 million in the 2020 cycle, including nearly $50,000 a month since the start of the year.
While the campaign has reported payments to Parscale's consulting firm, it has not "directly reported making any salary payments to campaign manager Brad Parscale, nor has it reported any salary payments to Kimberly Guilfoyle or Lara Trump," the complaint reads.
Parscale was replaced at the top of the campaign earlier this month by Bill Stepien, who was formerly deputy campaign manager.

Using a hot oil treatment once a week can work wonders for your hair, taking it from dull and lifeless to healthy and shiny in just a matter of 30 minutes. Hot oil treatment is particularly beneficial for people who have dry and damaged hair due to exposure to excessive heat or chemicals.
Hot oil treatments can easily be purchased over-the-counter from any drug store or can also be mixed up at home.
Preparing a hot oil treatment at home is quite easy and most of the ingredients that we require are readily available in our homes. To prepare DIY hot oil treatment, blend equal quantities of canola oil and olive oil together and warm them in your microwave.
Make sure that the oil is just warm, not too hot to touch or handle. Now using your hands, apply the warm oil on dampened hair. Massage gently and ensure that you work the oil on each and every strand of hair.
After this, comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb to get even coverage on the head. Next, dip a towel or washcloth in boiling water and squeeze the excess moisture. Wrap your hair using this warm towel and leave till the towel becomes cool. Remove it and let the oil remain in your hair for at least 30 minutes. After this, rinse the oil off using a gentle shampoo.
Mix together 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 teaspoons of olive oil together in a saucepan. Heat this mixture on high heat till it starts boiling. After this, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down till it is just warm enough to handle. Stir the mixture together to make sure that everything is well blended.
Apply the prepared hot oil treatment to your hair and massage gently. Comb through to get best results. Allow the treatment to remain in the hair for 30 minutes or so, then shampoo and rinse off as usual.
A wide variety of different hot oil treatment products are available in the market today. Most of them are sold in bottles or kits of 3 or 5 treatments, with prices ranging from $3 and $25. Few of these contain essential oils whereas others comprise of natural oil such as coconut, jojoba, jasmine or olive. In case of most of these treatments, you need to warm up the product by dipping the bottle in hot water and then working it into the dampened hair.
Just like home treatments, you need to ensure that you massage well and work the products into each and every strand of your hair, then wrap it up using a towel or shower cap and allow it to stand for as long as it is recommended by the particular product you are using.
Weekly hot oil treatments, whether from an over-the-counter bought package or from ingredients found in your kitchen, will leave your with vibrant, shiny and healthy hair.

When Leaders and Backmarkers Collide: F1 Edition (Part 2)
by jamjarfin Listicleson Posted on February 5, 2022 February 18, 2022
Nelson Piquet and Eliseo Salazar: Germany 1982
This particular accident has been covered on this site before. The Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet's title defence was not going particularly well in 1982, with his car struggling massively on reliability. He did manage to net a good haul of points whenever he finished a race however as his Brabham was very quick, so it was imperative for Nelson to capitalise on potentially race-winning situations.
He was winning the 1982 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim from lap 2 onwards, and by lap 18 had come up behind Eliseo Salazar's ATS. As both tried to negotiate the notoriously tricky Ostkurve chicane (only introduced in that year), the two drivers hit each other and both South Americans retired on the spot.
Piquet's anger was visible immediately from the moment he yanked himself out of his stricken Brabham and he stomped over towards the Chilean pilot. In a truly rare moment in F1, the Brazilian defending champion threw several punches and kicks towards Eliseo, some of them making contact with the ATS driver's helmet. Salazar refused to retaliate on the ground that Piquet had helped him up the motorsport ladder in his early days as a racer.
Ferrari's Patrick Tambay snatched victory away from Brabham that day; it was an emotional win as Tambay took the race seat from Didier Pironi, who suffered a career-ending crash during qualifying on the previous day. Nelson Piquet failed to defend his Drivers' Championship in 1982, finishing in 11th in the standings with a dismal 20 points to his name.
Juan Pablo Montoya and Antonio Pizzonia: Belgium 2005
The 2005 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps was affected by changeable weather conditions. McLaren's Montoya stuck his car on pole position and held it for around three-quarters of the race until teammate Raikkonen overtook him.
Subsequent disaster struck. While the Colombian was on wet tyres on a drying track, Antonio Pizzonia of Williams had changed to slick tyres and was bearing down on Juan Pablo despite having been lapped earlier in the race. As Montoya went to brake for the upcoming corner, he did so very early due to his alarmingly low levels of grip on the wrong set of tyres. Pizzonia believed that he was letting him past, so the Brazilian driver pulled up alongside. Juan Pablo did not see the Williams car beside him and virtually turned into the corner as if he wasn't there. Antonio's front left tyre clipped the rear-right of the McLaren and both were out of the race. Nevertheless they were both classified as they had completed over 90% of the total race distance.
Pizzonia was fined 8000 dollars for the incident.
Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard: Belgium 1998
This particular race is regarded by many fans as one of the most chaotic in the history of the sport. It was an absolute shambles from the beginning, with David Coulthard totalling his McLaren on the first lap after losing control in the difficult wet conditions. This started off a chain of spins and accidents behind him which caused the race to be red-flagged.
Upon restart a whole hour later, four of the teams didn't have enough spare cars available and only 18 drivers got to the lights. The unfortunate Coulthard had yet more contact with Alexander Wurz which dropped him to the back of the field by the end of the first lap.
On the other hand, Ferrari's Michael Schumacher had managed to avoid the carnage and overtook Damon Hill on the seventh lap before building up a sizeable advantage at the top of timing sheets. By the mid-point of the race, Michael had caught up to the gearbox of Coulthard who was almost a whole lap down. Due to the hefty spray coming out of the back of the McLaren, Schumacher couldn't see beyond a few metres tucked directly behind the Scotsman.
Coulthard had been instructed to slow down by his team, and he did so but crucially remained on the racing line, expecting the Ferrari to go up his inside into the next corner. However, Michael could not react to the slowing vehicle in time and the two collided, his front right wheel smashing into David's rear wing with sickening force.
With half of his front suspension shattered to smithereens, Schumacher had no option but to retire, with Coulthard momentarily coming to a stop in the pits before finishing just outside the points in seventh place.
Michael was understandably livid and made no effort to restrain his anger, storming into the McLaren garage while Coulthard was waiting for his MP4/13 to be repaired. Apparently the German accused Coulthard of trying to kill him, and retorted by launching similar death threats towards the McLaren driver.
Straight after this argument the Ferrari driver filed a protest against Coulthard but it yielded nothing. Some attribute this mishap with Schumacher's failure to clinch the 1998 Drivers' Championship, which instead went to Coulthard's teammate Mika Hakkinen.
Ayrton Senna and Eddie Irvine: Japan 1993
Skip to 0:30 and 3:40 for the Irvine's overtake and Senna's overtake respectively. Also watch out for Brundle missing a wheel in the Ligier!
Eddie Irvine was making his debut in Formula 1 at Suzuka, a track he knew well from his time in the lower formulae. He was determined to make a good first impression on the Jordan team that had hired him.
Fighting Damon Hill for 4th position, the Irishman was caught by Ayrton Senna who was leading the race for McLaren. On a rapidly drying track, both Irvine and Senna were squirming about on sub-optimal wet tyres. Senna drove past Irvine but when the former was unable to get pas the Williams of Hill, Eddie scooted back past at 130R. Therefore Senna was forced to try and lap the Jordan car for a second successive time, but this was made very hard by Eddie and Damon battling it out directly in front of him.
Ayrton eventually muscled his way past Irvine and Hill let him through. While still able to achieve victory, Senna was incensed that Irvine had held him up so much, expressing his displeasure at the press conference after the race.
He wasn't going to do or say anything beyond this, but when he came across Gerhard Berger at the paddock, Senna's dear friend pushed enough buttons to persuade him to go over to the Jordan office and confront Eddie Irvine face-to-face. The 2 got into an argument and after a barrage of expletives, Senna rounded it all off with a punch which saw Irvine get knocked to the floor. The Jordan team filed a complained and Senna was handed a 2-race suspended ban.
I realise that this final example doesn't involve any vehicular collision, but in my opinion fits all the other criteria and a collision did occur, except it was Ayrton's fist to Eddie's head!

Google is adding a new feature to search to help its users find jobs.
Called Google for Jobs, it adds job listings to Google's search results page so that users don't have to leave the site to see them. The push, done in partnership with LinkedIn and Facebook ("FB"), is part of the company's broader effort to make its search more personalized and useful.
For example, someone who lives near Pittsburg and who is looking for a teaching job may only see job openings at local schools. Job seekers can also filter by full-time or part-time work, job titles, and the time the jobs were listed. Google will also show users commute times to their potential jobs.
Google for Jobs ("GOOG") may appear to compete with existing job boards, said Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who announced the feature at the company's Google I/O developers conference on Wednesday. But in fact, Google has worked with job boards to create the service, he said. When users click on the listing, they are taken to the site that hosts them. Google has also partnered with CareerBuilder, Glassdoor, Monster and ZipRecruiter to list jobs, according to USA Today.
Google's machine learning technology is able to parse through millions of listings to deliver more personalized results to job seekers, and match the right jobs with the right candidates, Pichai said. The feature will be rolled out in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

The ProLink Bridle is a multiple shackle mount product designed for winch cables. The ProLink Bridle is a specialized commercial product designed primarily for the towing industry.
The three individual shackle mounting holes allow the winch operator to mount fixed length bridle links to the outside positioned holes for common bridle towing, as well as a single centered shackle mounting point for a conventional single shackle recovery point. Dedicated shackle mounting points prevent dangerous shackle side loading conditions due to the pivoting feature of the shackle pin mounting hole. This allows for Closed System Winching techniques to be applied.
For commercial high repeating bridle towing, dedicated self centering shackles result in a safer means to bridle tow. This ProLink Bridle operation is similar to fish plate towing used in the ship towing industry where boat yaw is undesirable. Like all models in the ProLink family, the ProLink Bridle is engineered and made in the USA from 6000 series billet aluminum and is equipped with a 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin. The ProLink Bridle is only available in the Military Specification Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodized gray finish.


Brunch no longer means watery poached eggs on sliced bread. Things have loosened up to the extent that almost anything goes, from Lobster Benedict to breakfast fries and brunch pizzette.
Unsurprisingly, Dirty Bones do not take a restrained approach to breakfast: here you'll find fried chicken with waffles and maple syrup, crispy fries topped with smoky ketchup and two fried eggs (otherwise known as "breakfast fries") or a Benedict burger which is Eggs Benedict in a bun with steak and bacon, rather than just the usual ham.
And if that wasn't enough, Banana Toblerone-Tella Waffles are possibly the most indulgent brunch dessert we have ever come across: caramelised banana, nutty chocolate spread, peanut butter gelato and crushed nuts all on top of a freshly cooked waffle. If you fancy making your brunch even more decadent, bottomless prosecco is available.
Gas Street Social has won a place in our hearts with its unlimited Bellinis and Mimosas. It's also a brilliant place to come with a hungry group as they serve a breakfast platter for sharing, consisting of six Cumberland sausages, six rashers of smoked streaky bacon, eight free range eggs, beans, mounds of black pudding, flat mushrooms, roasted plum tomatoes, sautéed potatoes and unlimited toast. Come armed with a gladiator appetite.
Poco has a commitment to sustainably sourced food and their new branch in Broadway Market uses own-made cheese from Kappacasein in Bermondsey and fruit and vegetables from Organic Lea in the Lea Valley. At brunch – which is served seven days a week – they offer staple fare such as eggs Benedict but we would go for the Moorish scramble instead: chorizo with harissa beans, and chilli-flavoured scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. Also, make sure you save space for their feather-light churros – the finest we've tried – served with a pot of delicious melted chocolate.
This is an old favourite which has now moved to a bigger brighter spot, still in the Northern Quarter but now on Oldham Street. Regulars at the previous venue will recognise the diner style seating although there is now capacity for up to a 120 diners looking to "posh up" their coffee or to add spam and salt beef to their full English. But it's not all about the meat - there are vegetarian and vegan options on the menu too.
The breakfast menu is served until 5pm here and includes porridge, bacon rolls and eggs baked with chorizo. The staff are renowned for being helpful without being overly attentive and we've heard reports of off-menu pancakes being whipped up for a customer who really wanted them. Many visitors just drop in for coffee and end up staying all day.
All day restaurant Bernardi's opened towards the end of 2015 and aims to combine Italian food with Antipodean hospitality. Brunch is available until 4.30pm at weekends and dishes on offer include poached eggs and prosciutto on toast or wild mushrooms, pancetta, fried eggs and focaccia croutons. Pick of the bunch, however, is the n'duja, egg and basil pizzette which basically makes our dreams of 'pizza for breakfast' a reality.
Brightonians are the biggest coffee consumers in the UK and the Breakfast Club has now opened a branch in The Lanes so that there's a new place to knock back a flat white (almost) beside the seaside. The Breakfast Club has won a place in our hearts for their Reggie the Veggie breakfasts and Boston Beans (actually slow roasted pork with BBQ seasoned beans, home-style fried potatoes and a poached egg) but it's the laidback, friendly and attentive service that means people keep coming back.
Brunch for us nearly always means eggs so where better to head than the Good Egg? This Stoke Newington temple to egg-based dishes has already won a devoted following since it opened last year. We love their version of Shakshuka (baked eggs poached in a sauce made of tomatoes, chilli and onions) which is here served with your choice of halloumi or merguez sausage. We also like their pita breads stuffed with fillings such as fried egg, aubergine, tahini and pickles.
The George Street Canteen is under new ownership this year but has already attracted many brunch fans. There's a plethora of tasty options up for grabs, including roasted plums, served with Greek yoghurt, granola and honey. There's also a more imaginative than usual range of soft drinks on offer, from rhubarb-flavoured sparkling water to ginger beer with chilli and lime.
The Lobster Bar has now started serving brunch at the weekend, for those of you who fancy an extra-indulgent start to the day. Dishes on offer include Lobster Benedict served on sourdough with lobster in garlic butter; Devon crab with rye seed bread and poached eggs; smoked mackerel and beetroot salad with homemade horseradish cream and avocado cream with north Atlantic prawns on sourdough toast.
A feast indeed for all bona fide seafood-lovers.
If you fancy corned beef hash, steak and eggs or pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, this is the place to head. Refreshingly, they also have a decent range of non-alcoholic concoctions; from Fentiman's rose lemonade to mango and pineapple smoothies. Surely it's not just us that wants to wash down a calorie-busting fried dish with a more virtuous and refreshing drink?
The Dishoom bacon naan roll has justly been established as one of the most popular brunch dishes available in London. We love it but also have a soft spot for the Bombay Omelette made with chopped tomato, onion, coriander and green chillies served with their delicious fire toast – thick slices of bloomer bread that are buttered and thrown on the grill where they become char-striped. And the newest branch of Dishoom, on London's Carnaby Street is possibly the most atmospheric of their Irani-style cafes yet, with over 150 pieces of antique furniture and fittings sourced from Bombay.
The team at Egg and Spoon met working at the legendary London vegetarian restaurant Mildreds. They then set up a bespoke catering company before opening Egg and Spoon last year. Our favourite dish? The sweetcorn fritters, served with tomato salsa and a poached egg.
Bellanger is the latest venture from the team behind the Wolseley and specialises in filling Viennese dishes. Start with waffles, either with restrained blueberries or with caramelised bananas, chocolate and crème fraiche. If you've got an appetite after that, we suggest you try a tartes flambée – like a very thin, Alsatian pizza – with mushrooms and herbs or, for a truly decadent brunch, with butter roasted apples and calvados.

Charges: Faribault man highly intoxicated when he took kids for nighttime squirrel hunt with .22
(Faribault, MN) – A Faribault man is facing child endangerment charges after he allegedly took his children squirrel hunting at night while he was drunk.
Ronald Ervin Hundt, 42, was charged Monday with gross misdemeanor counts of child endangerment, carrying a rifle in a public place, and carrying a pistol while under the influence of alcohol.
According to the criminal complaint, police responded to a report of a man with a gun near Lyndale Avenue and Highland Place just after 9 p.m. on June 2nd.
The man who reported the incident told police he had been driving when he noticed two small children off the road and found Hundt lying facedown on the ground on top of a .22 rifle. The children, ages 7 and 5, told the man their father had fallen.
The complainant said Hundt smelled strongly of alcohol and told him the gun was loaded, so he became concerned for the children's safety. He told police he secured the gun and helped Hundt to his feet.
Police say Hundt had to lean on his children to maintain balance when they arrived on scene. Hundt told officers he went for a walk with the children and brought the .22 to hunt squirrels.
The children's mother arrived on the scene and told police she was aware Hundt had been drinking since 6 p.m. that evening. She denied knowing he was highly intoxicated when he left with the children, or that he had taken a gun. She told officers Hundt drank to cope with pain and gave them a list of medications.
Hundt was initially taken to Zumbro Valley Detox Facility, but couldn't stay due to his need for a CPAP machine. He was transported back to the Rice County Jail, where a portable breath test put his blood alcohol content at .32.
He could not be accepted into the jail because of his high level of intoxication, so he was released to the children's mother.

Пер Генрік Лінґ (; 1776, , комуна Юнгбю, лен Крунуберг, Швеція — 1839, Стокгольм) — шведський терапевт, вчений, викладач і засновник шведської системи гімнастики. Також відомий як поет.

Біографія
Народився на півдні Швеції в 1776 році в сім'ї чиновника. За материнською лінією був праправнуком знаменитого вченого Улофа Рудбека-старшого (1630—1702), першовідкривача лімфатичної системи людини.

У 1792 році Пер Генрік закінчив гімназію у Векше. З 1793 року вивчав богослов'я в університеті Лунда. Отримав вчений ступінь у 1797 році в університеті в Упсалі. Потім виїхав за кордон на кілька років, спочатку в Копенгаген, де він викладав сучасні мови, а потім в Німеччину, Францію і Англію.

Матеріальні труднощі під час подорожі підірвали його здоров'я, він страждав від ревматизму, але набув значних знань гімнастики та фехтування. У 1804 році він повернувся у Швецію і зарекомендував себе як викладач даних дисциплін в Лунді, був призначений у 1805 році викладачем фехтування в університеті. Він виявив, що його щоденні вправи повністю відновили його тілесне здоров'я, тому він став думати над тим, як застосувати цей досвід на благо інших. Він відвідував заняття з анатомії та фізіології і пройшов всю навчальну програму для підготовки лікаря, потім розробив власну систему гімнастики, розділену на чотири гілки: педагогічну, медичну, військову і естетичну.

Після декількох спроб зацікавити уряд Швеції Лінґ, нарешті, в 1813 році вступив з ним у співпрацю, і Королівський Центральний інститут гімнастики, призначений для підготовки викладачів з даної дисципліни, був відкритий у Стокгольмі; його принципалом став сам Лінґ. Багато лікарів ставилися до діяльності Лінґа його учнів з великим скепсисом, однак той факт, що в 1831 році Лінґ був обраний членом , свідчить, що, принаймні, в його рідній країні його методи були визнані професійними.

Лінґ помер у 1839 році. Послідовниками його вчення стали  (1799—1881), який змінив Лінґа на посаді директора інституту, Карл Август Георгій, який став субдиректором інституту, його син,  (1820—1886). Разом з майором , який з 1861 року спеціалізується на лікуванні жінок (гінекологічна гімнастика), вони вважаються піонерами шведської лікувальної гімнастики.

Літературна творчість
Лінґ також відомий як поет, представник так званого  (від назви давньогерманської мови племені, яке в давнину населяло південну частину Скандинавії, — геатів). Основною темою поетичних творах Лінґа були історичні спогади про скандинавську давнину. В епопеях Gylfe і Asarne, а також у драмах Götiske, Ingiald Illraada і Engelbrekt Лінґ намагався відтворити стародавній світ богів і героїв.

Organizations spend billions of dollars each year, looking for more efficient and effective ways to train their people. Unfortunately, there seems to be a gap between the psychologists who conduct research on training, and the training practitioners who appear unfazed by this research.
To provide a means to implement the spacing effect, an online course was developed by this researcher to supplement face-to-face training efforts of a worldwide volunteer teacher organization. Embedded within the 13-lesson course were review modules that allowed participants to recall basic facts from previous lessons.
Results from a randomly selected control group and three online treatment groups, representing five English-speaking countries further replicated what laboratory research has been concluding for over a century; the spacing effect improves learning and memory retention. In spite of improved learning, however, the participants' reactions to the review modules were generally not favorable. Additionally, the study was fraught with constraints on many levels that introduced major threats to internal and external validity.
The study reports data from a pre-, post-, and retention test, a supervisor survey, and user information from the Learner Management System (LMS). These data are analyzed for participants' reactions to the training, feelings of motivation to learn, levels of learning and remembering, and degree of transfer of training achieved. This study is a small part of a growing body of applied spacing effect research.
Recommendations for improving implementation of the spacing effect into real-world training programs are given along with suggestions for future research in similar settings.

Shooter Avani Lekhara will be the flag bearer of country's contingent during the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics, here on Sunday.
"Avani will be the flag bearer and there will be 11 participants from the Indian contingent during the closing ceremony," an official of the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) said.
Lekhara, who was paralysed below the waist after a car accident in 2012, is only the Indian to win multiple medals in a single edition of the Games.
Before Lekhara, Joginder Singh Sodhi whad won a silver and two bronze medals in the 1984 Paralympics.
Another shooter Singhraj Adana joined the exclusive club on Saturday when he added a silver in P4 Mixed 50m Pistol SH1 event to the bronze in the P1 men's 10m air pistol SH1 event he won on Tuesday.
Shot-putter Tek Chand was India's flag-bearer for the Paralympics opening ceremony on August 24 after he replaced high jumper Mariyappan Thangavelu in the last minute.
Mariyappan, who won a silver here, was quarantined along with five other Indians after coming in close contact of a COVID positive person during his flight to Tokyo.

Defence chiefs from Nato's 26 nations have agreed that they need more troops and fewer limitations on the use of their forces to step up the fight against insurgents in the violent south of Afghanistan.
General Ray Henault, the Canadian general who chaired talks among national defence chiefs in Warsaw, told a news conference on Saturday:"Our collective assessment is that we are satisfied with military-related progress to date, particularly in the north and in the west, but less so in the south."
No pledges of extra troops were announced after two days of talks but Nato officials said the defence chiefs had agreed to consult with their capitals on reinforcements to tackle fiercer-than-expected Taliban resistance.
"I can't give you the exact number; but the chiefs of defence are very aware of requirements...Raising the number of troops will be a political decision."
Henault said they also agreed to review the caveats, or restrictions imposed by individual Nato nations on what their troops could do, ranging from a ban on night-flying to deployments in direct combat in the violent south.
"In our meeting, we discussed national caveats and pressed for the need to reduce them to the minimum possible," he said.
"I can't give you the exact number; but the chiefs of defence are very aware of requirements...Raising the number of troops will be a political decision"
Nato says it has killed more than 300 insurgents and cornered hundreds more in the south since it launched its biggest offensive against the Taliban a week ago. The Taliban denies the figures.
British, Dutch and Canadian troops leading the mission in the south are taking almost daily casualties in what is the toughest ground combat mission in Nato's 57-year history.
Under pressure from Washington to do more, Nato expanded its operations from the north, west and Kabul to the south a month ago despite nations having only come up with about 85 per cent of military requests for troops and equipment.
But alliance leaders acknowledged on Thursday that they had underestimated the strength of Taliban opposition and called on countries to fill remaining commitments amounting to 2,000 to 2,500 troops plus helicopters and transport aircraft.
Germany, which leads Nato operations in the relatively quiet north, is seen under pressure to make reinforcements available despite vocal political opposition in Berlin to such a move.
Nato commanders until recently insisted that caveats, long a bane of other Nato operations, were not an issue in Afghanistan.
But the rising violence in Afghanistan appears to have prompted them to call for greater flexibility in how they can use troops.
