The 2018 Omaha Ambassadors Forum was engaging and trans-formative, thanks to a partnership between International Programs, Burlington International Group, and the American Academy of Diplomacy.
Four former U.S. Ambassadors visited campus for the 2018 Omaha Ambassadors Forum. From left: Susan L. Ziadeh, former ambassador to Qatar; James F. Collins, former ambassador to the Russian Federation; Earl A. Wayne, former ambassador to Argentina and Mexico; and Deborah A. McCarthy, former ambassador to Lithuania.
There are 195 countries in the world and each has history, culture and politics all their own. However, through international relations and diplomacy, many countries are able to work together for the common good.
Wednesday, April 4, marked the 8th Annual Omaha Ambassador's Forum, a public panel discussion featuring four former U.S. ambassadors with a combined century's worth of diplomatic experience across four presidential administrations.
The visiting ambassadors included James F. Collins, former ambassador to the Russian Federation; Earl A. Wayne, former ambassador to Argentina and Mexico; Susan L. Ziadeh, former ambassador to Qatar; and Deborah A. McCarthy, former ambassador to Lithuania. The panel was moderated by Tom Gouttierre, dean emeritus of International Studies and Programs at UNO.
The event, organized by UNO and the Burlington Capital Group, welcomed approximately 100 people to the Thompson Alumni Center, including two groups of students from Central High School and Marian High School, as well as visiting students from southeast Asia as part of the Young Southeast Asia Leadership Initiative (YSEALI).
"As ambassadors, we believe that you if you don't engage in a multigenerational way and encourage both understanding of the global context and also encourage people to think of public service – not necessarily diplomatic service, but it could be military, it could be in the intelligence community – we are not attracting the best and the brightest," explained McCarthy.
While the topics for the forum were wide-ranging, the focus was on current international issues facing President Trump, ranging from a strained relationship with Russia, tariffs recently imposed by China and how to confront terrorism, namely agents within Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Many questions were also raised by the audience, including the impact of China's decision to eliminate term limits for elected officials, the current humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, the recent changing of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and the role of energy in ongoing trade policy.
Following the public forum, each of the ambassadors spoke personally with a small group of students made of YSEALI participants, UNO students and high school students. McCarthy said having such a wide range of diverse attendees was important to the future of diplomacy both nationally and internationally.

They say that an elephant never forgets… well neither have I. I rode an elephant for the first (and ONLY) time in Thailand when I was around 4 (or 5) years old. These are beautiful, intelligent, majestic mammals, and I've always had a fascination with them.
As a child I had no idea what went into taming them.
But now that I'm older I'm more aware of why people should NOT be riding elephants. I happened to come across a few different references online of what happens to elephants in order to tame them. It's cruel. If we want them to survive something has to be done.
So why am I taking about elephants? It just so happens that August 12th is World Elephant Day!
Right now, elephants, especially African elephants are at a high risk to becoming extinct in the wild according to the WWF. And today is especially important to bring to light the fact that to this day they are still being hunted for ivory.
But with organizations like Save the Elephants, they are doing their part to literally help save elephants and their habitats from extinction.
That's why I'm happy to share that BRIKA in partnership with Holt Renfrew's H Project have teamed up to do something about the elephant poaching crisis. They have created a charitable 'all-elephant pop-up in support of the organization Save The Elephants'. The pop-up which contains curated elephant-themed merchandise will be around for the month of August in select Holt Renfrew locations in Canada (Toronto Bloor Street, Toronto Yorkdale, Calgary and Vancouver).
And did I mention that 10% of total proceeds will be donated to Save The Elephants!
One of my favourite items from the pop-up was created by Canadian-born designer Tanya Taylor. Of course it's a bag! Really it's a clutch featuring an elephant design. Taylor had made a trip to Kenya with Save the Elephants and witnessed the work that the organization did. This inspired her to create this clutch for the cause. The clutch retails for $198.
BRIKA has also expanded the selection of elephant-themed items on their website, which you can visit by clicking here. You'll find other items like scarves, prints & letterpress cards, aprons, jewellery… check it out for yourself!
Here's the hoping that this will help the cause and #SaveTheElephants!


Oh myyyyy .. I can't wait to introduce this amazing female soprano today!!
The soprano that I'm going to share today is the divina Leontyne Price.
Oh my gosh I am so so so so so excited to share about my absolute favorite! There's more artists that I would like to share this and I wanted to write about other sopranos also but I decided to write about them separately.
To abbreviate Leontyne Price's biography; she was born and raised in Mississippi (Yes people she's from the South! Take it or leave it), she started her music education in a church then went to high school and was an outstanding pianist then she went to college with the idea of becoming a music teacher. But the faculty of Oak college convinced her to change her focus to Voice. She was offered and finished a full scholarship education in Julliard and she had her debut in a musical in Broadway. Afterwards she had her opera stage debut in San Francisco opera house and that's when her opera career has officially started.
When I first heard her sing "Vissi d'arte" from the opera Tosca, I was blown away from the grace of Leontyne Price's voice.. I could feel such grace in every breath that she took and oh man oh man, she is so classy. I didn't hear any rushes in almost every song that she sang. She's a diva when she took her time and the performances itself were breathtaking.

Henkel's Bonderite C-AK 305 (was Ridoline 305) is a concentrated liquid etching cleaner for aluminium, steel, hot dip galvanised and electrogalvanised steel surfaces – normally applied in a spray washing plant. It provides good cleaning, low foam, low sludge and minimum scale, making it particularly effective in cleaning aluminium in continuous strip processing, and can be chemically controlled using electronic control equipment. Treatment time can be between 5 to 25 seconds, this will depend upon bath strength, condition of metal, and degree of etch required, together with available processing time. The work should be rinsed in cold water immediately after treatment, and if the work is heavily soiled and extra cleaning power is required, Bonderite C-AD detergent materials may be added to the bath.


I've spent the last few weeks dabbling with shares in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), making notes, bookmarking websites and generally learning how it all works and I figured, rather than write it all down on my own research document, I may as well write it on my blog and see if anyone else has anything to say about the companies I'm interested in.
Galleon Holdings is one of the first AIM companies that I've been looking into after finding a blog dedicated to it, which now appears to have been shut down unfortunately. Peaking at a price of £2.25 in 2002, GON shares are currently 2 pence, and appear to be quite a good investment.
The main point of interest with this company is their business in China, which is online gaming:Â www.wowan365.com . The main game is called "God Quit" and has become increasingly successful over the last few months, so whilst the last financial reports for GON were pretty terrible, it does look like their fortunes are finally about to change. Â The growth in the user base has meant that the game has spread into new hardware and they are adding many more servers every month.
Worth a punt in my opinion and worth hanging in until the next financial report they deliver to see how much money the growth in China has been worth.

PEPPERMOTH
Canadian producer and artist Andrew McPherson has lead a life of musical shape-shifting since his youth. Classically trained in his teens, Andrew eventually traded the orchestra pit for a life of musical wanderlust, wherein his burgeoning interests in post-punk, prog, funk, folk, ambient, dub and downtempo could be indulged. Each successive project added to his creative vocabulary until, in the mid-90's, an invitation to attend recording school cemented his future as both a producer and artist. To date, Andrew has produced dozens of albums, remixes and one off's with a dizzying array of collaborators and artists including Dub Colossus, Vieux Farka Touré, Delhi 2 Dublin, Transglobal Underground, Desert Dwellers, Dubmatix, Jane Siberry, Kiran Ahluwalia, Syriana and Philosopher Kings, with releases on labels like Six Degrees, Real World, Modiba, Warner Music, EMI, National Geographic and Buddha Bar. Andrew is also the creative force behind global dub fusionists, Eccodek, who's 7 releases have garnered them worldwide fans, 2 Juno nominations (Canada's Grammys) and glowing international press.
Flash forward to the present and 2020 sees the arrival of Andrew's third recording of ambient work as Peppermoth. In Peppermoth, Andrew has created a musical forum for expansive, cinematic, glacially paced instrumental work that leans generously on his classical upbringing, while incorporating his lifelong love of improvisation, dub, impressionism and the limitless, creative canvas of the recording studio.
Like previous Peppermoth releases (Now You Hear Me and Glimmer Tide), The Second Bird showcases Andrew's abiding debt to the reductive and textural work of early 20th century composers like Erik Satie and Claude Debussy, with respectful nods to the more contemporary work of artists like fellow Canadians Daniel Lanois and Michael Brook, ambient god Brian Eno and trailblazers David Sylvian, Jon Hassell, Fennesz, Bill Laswell and Ryuichi Sakamoto. With these musical compasses, The Second Bird evolved from hours of improvised recordings and an unhurried but decisive mindset. Piano and guitar sit at the heart of Peppermoth's sound while Andrew's deep love of inspired sonics and texture leave plenty of room for collaborations and guest artists. Trumpet, modular synths, upright bass and strings, bamboo flute, omnichord, studio treatments and tape echo all contribute to the rich tapestry of sound that is Peppermoth.


Jessalynn Chen joins Brandient as Business Director Asia.
"Singapore is the most important market in Asia for branding & consulting and creative services, together with Hong Kong. It is a hub for Southeast Asia, it is English-speaking, cosmopolitan and easy to access. The EU-Singapore trade agreement encourages more EU companies to expand their services to Asia, and this would only increase the opportunities for a business like ours".

Undefeated Saints lift spirits in New Orleans
CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press writer
They ain't the Ain'ts anymore. And ain't that grand for New Orleans.
Football's once-hapless New Orleans Saints are on a roll at 12-0, lifting spirits in this hurricane-battered city four miserable, down-in-the-dumps years after Katrina. In fact, folks in the Big Easy are feeling so good about their team's chances that they are actually canceling or rearranging Mardi Gras events to keep Super Bowl Sunday clear.
The Saints face the Altanta Falcons Sunday in Atlanta. The game airs at noon on FOX.`
"The whole city is floating right now. We're all on a cloud. Cloud nine," said 68-year-old Lynn Compter, standing next to his mustard-yellow 1939 Chevrolet, which was decked out in fleurs de lis with the Saints' record in magnetic numbers on its doors. "The day after a win is like a steroid shot."
Football is a passion that goes beyond words in Louisiana, where Y.A. Tittle, Billy Cannon, Eddie Robinson and the Manning family are legends. But Saints fever goes deeper than that.
With their come-from-behind wins and gritty play, the Saints have become symbols of hard work, toughness and camaraderie in a city that has seen all too much despair and backbiting.
"This team doesn't give up, even when they're behind. This team has been in every game," said Lamar Callaway, a 69-year-old retired bridge inspector who lives in Lakeview, a New Orleans neighborhood badly flooded by Katrina. Plus, he said, the Saints offer a "break from the doldrums of rebuilding."
The Saints were long one of the worst teams in the NFL, playing so badly that they became known as the "Ain'ts."
Since they started in 1967, they have never reached the Super Bowl, and they did not even have a winning season until 1987, the year Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass at the Superdome in September.
Since Katrina, the Saints have been a bright light amid the dreariness. The Superdome, where tens of thousands of people were trapped in the days after the storm, was repaired quickly and became a symbol of rebirth in 2006. Then, the Black and Gold did the unprecedented: They went to the conference championship in 2007.
This season, the team has taken it to a whole new level.
Everywhere, people are high-fiving and chanting, "Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?!" Huge midnight crowds welcome the undefeated team at the airport after road games.
"I've collected every sports page with their win on it this year. I'm keeping them all. I've got my Saints flag in the window. I'm loving it," said Annette Corneiago.
Even Mardi Gras is making way. One parade was canceled because it was set to roll on Feb. 7, the day the Super Bowl will be played in Miami. Another parade will be moved to the following Tuesday if the Saints make it to the big game.
When Katrina struck in August 2005, about 80 percent of the city flooded. The population is still only 350,000, compared with the pre-storm level of 454,000, and some neighborhoods are still in ruins.
"We expect corruption, we expect mediocrity, we expect potholes," said Sidney Arroyo, a local political consultant. "The Saints are showing us that just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it can't happen now. Anything's possible. It's bliss."
The No. 1 bliss maker is No. 9 Drew Brees, the quarterback with the rocket arm.
He is himself a symbol of renewal. Brees got a second chance after suffering a serious injury while playing for the San Diego Chargers. After arriving in New Orleans in 2006, he and his wife restored an old hurricane-damaged house in the Uptown neighborhood, and his "Rebuilding Dreams" campaign raised more than $2 million for playgrounds, athletic fields and schools.
Associated Press writers Brett Martel and Stacey Plaisance contributed to this report.


16,000 bitcoins (an amount worth about $141 miljoen) tied to the now-defunct bitcoin exchange Mt Gox were moved on Thursday.
According to CryptoGround, which monitors Mt Gox's remaining wallets, the bitcoins were removed from four separate addresses in increments of approximately 2,000, met 0 BTC remaining in each wallet that the funds were extracted from.
The wallets are under control of the exchange's bankruptcy trustee, Nobuaki Kobayashi, a Tokyo lawyer who also revealed in March that he had sold about $400 million of Mt Gox bitcoin and bitcoin cash in September of 2017. Momenteel, the Gox addresses still hold roughly 146,106 BTC, blockchain data shows.
Additional network data indicates that trustee holdings of bitcoin cash are on the move, met 16,000 BCH being sent over the course of four transactions.
Kobayashi is tasked with liquidating the tokens on behalf of Mt Gox creditors, most of whom have not recovered their funds after the exchange closed its trading operations in 2014. Yet the process hasn't been without controversy, given that the value of the bitcoins held by Mt Gox exceeds the amount claimed by the exchange's creditors.
Founded in 2010, the exchange boasted around 80 percent of global trading volume at its height. Since Mt Gox's closure, the exchange and its founder, Mark Karpeles, have been embroiled in legal battles, including class action lawsuits and embezzlement charges.
As CoinDesk previously reported, past sell-offs from the wallets have coincided with steep declines across the cryptocurrency market. in het bijzonder, a transfer of funds on February 5 was concurrent with a 50 percent decline in market value from January's all-time market capitalization high of $830 miljard.

• Combine rice, water and a good pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid at any time during cooking.
• While rice is cooking, prepare rest of the meal. Peel carrot and cut into thin matchsticks; slice mushrooms; set aside. In a small bowl, mix all bibimbap glaze ingredients together.
• Pat tofu dry with paper towels and dice 1-2cm. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan (preferably non-stick) on medium to high heat. Cook tofu for 4-5 minutes, turning often until golden. Reduce heat to low and add bibimbap glaze. While it bubbles and reduces, toss tofu to coat.
• Remove from heat, set tofu aside in a bowl and keep warm. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same fry-pan. Add mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are soft. Add spinach, sesame oil and soy sauce and toss together until spinach is wilted.
• In a separate medium, non-stick, fry-pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium heat. Carefully crack in eggs and fry for about 3 minutes until white is set, but yolk is still runny. You could add 2 tablespoons water to pan and cover with a lid to help eggs cook through, if desired.
Spoon 3/4 cup cooked rice per person into bowls and top with glazed tofu, vegetables and a fried egg. Serve with avocado, a dollop of Sum Yum Kimchi and chilli sauce.

Hello Gentlemen & to my Fans. I'm happy to go over my story or biography with you on my individual story of my life & how I got started into the Adult Industry as a Professional Adult Actress, Professional Men's Magazine Model, Playboy Playmate, Feature Dancer, & Elite Luxury Exclusive Worldwide Companion.
I was born on 9/24/1992. I had started at the young age of 18 years old as an exotic dancer who started in Gentlemen's Clubs in NYC & later started dancing in Las Vegas, once my modeling career started taking off at 18 years old & was offered to join a modeling agency for Magazine Print Work, Reality T.V., & Miss USA. At that time I had declined and further pursued my career as wanting to succeed as an Adult Actress & become published in Playboy Magazine one day. I had received an offer to pose for Playboy Magazine, which I had shot in August 2019 in Toronto Canada & my publication was issued in September's 2019 Issue of Playboy Magazine Sweden. My adult Actress career had started with SCORELAND where you probably have recognized me from by my films shot by them in L.A. I'm also a Feature Dancer signed with Centerfold Strips. I'm very excited since I'm currently working on so many new projects with filming & modeling where I'm so excited for my Fans to see my new upcoming scenes and Magazine publications that are coming out soon!

PolitiFact Florida: Kriseman overstates poverty reduction in south St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, right, stands up on a bench as he greets customers and supporters while talking about the stakes in the election during a campaign style stop at Cycle Brewing, 534 Central Ave, in St. Petersburg on June 15. (DIRK SHADD | Times)
By Allison Graves and Times Staff Writer
Published Jul. 3, 2017
Mayor Rick Kriseman is trying to win over voters in his re-election bid with a pitch about falling poverty in a lower income neighborhood.
Kriseman, who faces former Mayor Rick Baker, says significant strides have been made since he took office, particularly in south St. Petersburg.
"We are seeing poverty being reduced in south St. Pete at a number larger than the national average, the state average, county or in Tampa, Jacksonville," Kriseman said after signing his qualifying papers inside City Hall.
This area of town is significant to Kriseman, who helped with efforts related to the 2020 plan, a five-year plan to reduce poverty by 30 percent in a portion of south St. Petersburg.
In order for this claim to be true, the poverty rate in south St. Petersburg would have to be dropping faster than in those other areas he named.
But Kriseman's evidence for the claim is imprecise.
Instead of providing data for that area, Kriseman pinpointed the poverty rate of the African-American population in the entire city of St. Petersburg between two years.
Kriseman's staff relied on a 2013 Pinellas County report that highlighted south St. Petersburg as one of five at-risk communities, areas marked by "high concentrations of poverty and a small return to the taxbase."
According to the report, approximately 48 percent of the population in this zone live in poverty. The demographic breakdown of those who live in poverty is as follows: 63 percent are African-American, 27 percent are white, 5 percent are Hispanic, and 5 percent are of another race.
City staff said given that the majority of residents in that zone are African-American, addressing poverty among African-Americans is a priority for the mayor.
So to support his claim, Kriseman compared the poverty rate for the entire St. Petersburg black population (which should go without saying, does not entirely live in south St. Pete) against the rates of other big cities, the state and the country.
Even with that allowance, the numbers don't hold up.
Kriseman's team sent PolitiFact Florida two sets of data from the Census Bureau's 2014 and 2015 American Community Survey for the African-American population. (The 2016 numbers will be released in September.)
According to that data, the black poverty rate in St. Petersburg decreased by 8.5 percentage points between 2014 and 2015, from 34.9 percent to 26.4 percent.
The other areas Kriseman mentioned — Pinellas County, Jacksonville, Florida, the United States, and Tampa — showed a smaller reduction in the black poverty rate, between a drop of 4.8 percentage points to a gain of .2 point, respectively.
Most importantly, the data neglects the large margin of error in census data.
Based on our calculations, the difference in the number of African-Americans in poverty — for St. Petersburg as well as the other locations — was statistically unchanged from 2014 to 2015.
In other words, there's no way to know for sure if poverty went up or down, because the change in the poverty rate is within the margin of error.
In 2015, the margin of error for data from the Census Bureau was plus or minus 25 percent, or 4,131 people. For 2014, the margin of error was plus or minus 17 percent, or 3,459 people. Those margins are significant.
The Census Bureau data shows that about 17,000 African-Americans were in poverty in 2015. With the margin of error, the estimated range is between 12,566 and 20,828.
The range of African-Americans in poverty in 2014 is between 16,596 and 23,514.
Taken together, the estimates show that the number of African-Americans in poverty could have held steady, or even increased from 17,000 to 20,000. We just don't know with a margin of error this wide.
Joshua Wilde, an assistant professor of economics at the University of South Florida, said Kriseman was using the best data available despite its imperfections. While he couldn't say this for sure, he said there was a strong chance that poverty fell in south St. Petersburg among African-Americans between 2014-15. He calculated the p-value — a statistical indicator based on the confidence interval — to determine the chance poverty fell based on numbers provided by the Census Bureau.
"Once you peel back the layers of the onion on the numbers, it turns out the best numbers we have are just highly uncertain," he said.
Still, Melissa Radey, a Florida State University professor who specializes in poverty research and data, said it would be better to have more years when looking at trends in poverty.
"Making statements about trends is not appropriate with only two years of data," Radey said.
Kriseman stuck by his conclusion.
"To dismiss the year over year Census report about the number of people in poverty as statistically insignificant overgeneralizes the complexities of real-time poverty eradication," he said.
For a statement that contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give the reader a different impression, we rate this claim Mostly False.

If you were a child of the 80's like I was, you most likely remember that iconic moment in Back to the Future Part II when Marty arrives in 2015, and he has to change into clothes that fit the time period so he will pass for his future son. He puts on a jacket that looks five sizes too big for him, but with the press of a button it adjusts to fit him perfectly. Before he did that, he slipped on the coolest pair of high tops ever designed. The Nike MAGs had glowing lights (not really sure why, but they looked really cool), and everyone's favorite part, they had automatic, power laces.
Today, Nike announced that they have made 1,500 2011 Nike MAGs! The sneakers are almost exactly like the shoes that Michael J. Fox wore in Back To The Future II, with one unfortunate exception. They do not have power laces, yet. According to Nike's commercial starring Bill Hader, Christopher Lloyd, Tinker Hatfield, Donald Fullilove and Kevin Durant, this highly coveted feature won't come out until 2015.
Nike is auctioning these items of sneaker geek lust off on eBay with 100% of the net profits going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research starting tonight at 11:30 pm EST, and ending September 18th, 2011. Also, Google Co-Founder, Sergey Brin has pledged a matching donation of up to $50 million. Michael J. Fox will appear on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight wearing a pair of the famous shoes "for the future" to announce the auction.
Personally, I think this is a lot of fun, and I'm glad all of the money is going to a great cause, but I'm hanging on to my money until somebody finally releases a working hoverboard!
You can have Marty McFly's shoes from 2015 today! (Power laces, not included.) is reprinted with permission from Deemable.

MRIs employ powerful magnets which produce a strong magnetic field that forces protons in the body to align with that field. When a radiofrequency current is then pulsed through the patient, the protons are stimulated, and spin out of equilibrium, straining against the pull of the magnetic field. When the radiofrequency field is turned off, the MRI sensors are able to detect the energy released as the protons realign with the magnetic field. The time it takes for the protons to realign with the magnetic field, as well as the amount of energy released, changes depending on the environment and the chemical nature of the molecules. Physicians are able to tell the difference between various types of tissues based on these magnetic properties.

How to spark creativity
Is creativity innate? Researchers are exploring the science of creativity and Jonah Lehrer argues that anyone can use their findings to learn to be creative.
By Sun Kim | March 12, 2012 -- 22:06 GMT (15:06 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
What allows some people to create the iPod, produce Star Wars, or develop Twitter? Is it in their genes? In an excerpt from his upcoming book, "Imagine: How Creativity Works", Jonah Lehrer argues that creativity is not inherited or innate, but learned and developed. Lehrer also explains how researchers are exploring the science of creativity and how anyone can use their findings to learn to be creative.
"Imagination was once thought to be a single thing, separate from other kinds of cognition. The latest research suggests that this assumption is false. It turns out that we use "creativity" as a catchall term for a variety of cognitive tools, each of which applies to particular sorts of problems and is coaxed to action in a particular way."
Whether a problem requires a moment of insight, a gradual, laboring rumination, or a greater and more diverse collection of information, Lehrer says there are ways to spark all kinds of creativity.
Moments of insight
The hardest problems are often solved with flashes of inspiration or insight, and two researchers, Mark Beeman and John Kounios, have identified that the flashes might come from a region of the brain that excels at connecting distantly related information. The area, the superior anterior temporal gyrus (aSTG), exhibits a sharp spike in activity seconds before an insight appears. They also found that humor and alcohol increased the likelihood of having an insight.
Why humor and booze? Both help us relax and relaxing helps us shift focus. Instead of concentrating on what is probably a wrong answer, our minds loosen and expand to make associations. Those associations, Lehrer says, are often the sources of insight.
Relentless rumination
Other problems are solved by drudgery and determination. This is the kind of creativity we have to work on constantly. Lehrer presents the example of Milton Glaser's "I love New York" campaign. Glaser intuitively knew that his first design wasn't quite right even though it had been approved. The legendary graphic designer thought about and worked on his design until he arrived at the now iconic design.
Mental restructuring
When a problem can't be solved with just the information in our own brains, acquiring more and more diverse information can trigger creativity. Diverse ideas, experiences, and people provide new concepts for us to connect. Since expertise can inhibit this kind of breakthrough creativity, Lehrer encourages looking at other fields not only for solutions but also for problems to explore.
But how do we know which creativity we need? The answer is a type of intuition that researchers call "feelings of knowing". Researchers found that the human mind can naturally assess which kind of creativity is required, and whether we can arrive at a solution if we continue thinking about it. In other words, our minds are capable of figuring out the likelihood of solving a problem, and when we're getting close.
Are these really keys to creativity or just problem solving? Is creativity innate or can creativity be learned? What do SmartPlanet readers think?

How the advertising industry can help empower racial equality
Nishma Robb September 2020
Nishma Robb / September 2020
A third of us come from working class backgrounds, but only 10% break into what's considered elite careers1. When we talk about equality in the U.K., we need to talk about income equality.
I've seen a lot of change for good during my 25 years in advertising and media. But as a woman of colour from a working class background, I understand that while representation matters, equity matters most.
I took to the virtual stage at this year's Advertising Week Europe with pioneer of Grime, member of So Solid Crew, and founder of Black Pound Day, Swiss, and serial entrepreneur, business mentor and best selling author, Bianca Miller-Cole.
We talked about the reality of economic inequality in the U.K., how we can empower Black-owned businesses, and how the advertising industry can be instrumental in bringing about racial equality. Here's a recap of the session.
The realities of being a Black business
We're in the middle of a pandemic and the worst recession on record. Not many entrepreneurs would be brave enough to start a business in 2020. But barriers to Black business are a reality every year.
Black-owned businesses are more likely to be rejected for an overdraft and charged higher interest rates than their white-owned counterparts.2 And 73% of Black-owned businesses had a higher than average risk rating, compared with 47% of SMEs as a whole.3
We're the least seen businesses on the high street and the least seen online
So it shouldn't come to a surprise that people of colour are not represented in British business. 250,000 of the U.K.'s 5.9 million businesses are owned by ethnic minorities, and approximately 40,000 are Black-owned. This is equivalent to 0.6 of the business base, while Black people account for 3.3% of the population.4
Miller-Cole works to support Black business owners and says it's about levelling the playing field. "For me, it's a case of giving them that economic empowerment and creating more businesses that are sustainable, that are being paid the right money, that are getting themselves and their names out there," explains Miller-Cole.
And because Black-owned businesses are underrepresented it's harder to find and support them in our local communities. "We're the least seen businesses on the high street and the least seen online. It's hard for me to spend with the Black businesses in my community. It's hard for them to get in and actually be on the same playing field as other cultures that are within our society," says Swiss.
"They have to get less stock and they're paying more for that stock. Therefore, they have to up their prices in order to make the money back that they need to make to keep themselves running," explains Swiss.
Supporting Black businesses: How Google is helping
We know that minority groups are disproportionately impacted by a crisis. We need to ensure that economic recovery means nobody is left behind. Digital will play a crucial role, so that puts a responsibility on Google to help equip people and minority owned businesses with digital skills and know-how.
Five years ago, Google set out to address skill gaps across communities by launching Google Digital Garage. We've been training people across the U.K. in all things digital and not just with Google products. We helped people start new businesses, grow their business and helped them find new jobs and careers.
We want to ensure that free advice and support is accessible to all
When the pandemic hit we knew we needed to do more. We've pledged to help restart the U.K. and committed that by the end of 2021 we will help one million small and medium-sized enterprises stay open by being found online, deliver 10,000 hours of mentoring, commit to distributing £25M in advertising credits and grants, and upskill 100,000 people with our Google Digital Garage training. And with free tools like Google My Business and reviews, we're able to help businesses be more discoverable online and drive engagement with customers.
We want to ensure that this free advice and support is accessible to all. To reach Black owned businesses we've developed partnerships with organisations like YSYS, M&C Saatchi Saturday School, and Out The Box and some of the biggest trade organisations in retail and hospitality. We're actively looking to partner with more organisations so that we can ensure we get the help and support to those that need it.
As well as supporting small businesses, we have been supporting startups with tools, best practices and funding. Europe has 99 unicorns — that's 99 businesses valued at over $1 billion. But we're not seeing parity with the levels of investment in Black-owned or Black-founded startups.
As ad men and women, it's called doing our jobs
Google for Startups' mission is to level that playing field. If we want technology to work for everyone, we need to make sure that it's built by everyone. We've created acceleration programmes for high-potential startups. And in September, we kicked off our Immersion for Black Founders — a programme for 12 startups from the U.K., France, and the Netherlands. There's a global commitment to back Black business too – in June, Sundar Pichai, our CEO, announced a fund for Black owned businesses.
What racial justice looks like on Google Trends
One of the heartwarming things about working at Google is that you're in contact with how people search. At the beginning of the pandemic we saw Searches for "how to help" hit an all time high and trends increased for "local" and "near me".5
Then news hit of the killing of George Floyd and search trends changed again. Black Lives Matter reached an all-time high in search interest in June 2020 as more than ever people around the world searched for "what is racial justice", "how to be anti racist", and "what can white people do for racial justice".6
Support for Black Lives Matter helped put racial justice at the top of global mindsets. But it also helped people focus on racial equity and the importance of Black bank accounts. U.K. searches for "Black owned business" reached an all time high in June — which in part was thanks to Swiss.
U.K. searches for "Black owned business" reached an all time high in June 2020
Swiss says he was inspired by the protests to the killing of George Floyd and launched Black Pound Day. "I've never seen Black, whites and Asians and other ethnic minorities come together as much as we did. And that really did move me. And I thought to myself, this is the first time I've seen this. This is historical".
If we don't address economic disparity across racial lines then addressing racial equality becomes harder and harder. We need to support the Black community and buying from Black-owned businesses is a great starting point. Google is helping all businesses be found with our Google My Business product, we're offering free digital skills training via Google Digital Garage and we're offering British businesses free 1-2-1 mentoring with our new mentoring programme. Google is also offering investment into startups and advertising grants to help businesses and charities.
We're advertisers, so let's make ads
Supporting business owners is only part of the plan. We need to make sure we're encouraging people to support Black businesses all year round. We need to be able to discover them. As ad men and women, it's called doing our jobs.
We want to help shift the U.K.'s shopping habits to become more inclusive, more thoughtful, empathetic and purposeful
"Buy from a Black business online or in your local community, take a picture of that business or that product. If you're on social media, you post that, you hashtag and also recommend that business to a friend or family member," explains Swiss.
In the coming weeks we're launching a new campaign spearheaded by Anthony Joshua, called #DearLocal. Based on new research by Google and YouGov, 88% of consumers who are now shopping more locally say they will likely continue to do so in the future7. And 51% of local businesses believe online reviews can boost business8. We've been relying on local businesses more than ever before, and now it's time for us to show them some love. Our ambition is to kick start a national conversation and drive this awareness — encouraging people to support their favourite neighbourhood spots.
We want to help enable the U.K.'s shopping habits to become more inclusive, more thoughtful, empathetic and purposeful. And, in turn, grow the Black economy and Black communities.
Taking a cue from history
As an industry we do have a long way to go and I see commitments and efforts to deliver real change but we need to go further than just our plans for recruitment and culture in our teams — we need to consider pipeline of talent, the communities we live in that will ensure that opportunity is not a competitive advantage but a equal right for all.
To achieve this we have to support racial equality in education and economic opportunity — we need to make sure Black children are not disadvantaged and that their parents can afford to support their education, and that they have the same chances of success as others when they choose careers or go it alone in their own business.
October is Black History month in the U.K. We can't rewrite history but we can take a cue from it. I recently found out the original meaning of Martin Luther King Jr's speech "I have a dream" was in fact about the economy. I hope in coming together we can realise that dream now and for future generations.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.

Hello all! My name is Alex Katopodis and I'm excited to be here as Youth Pastor. I grew up in the area, around Thrasher's Corner in north Bothell and attended Bothell High School in my youth. I didn't grow up in the church but joined a youth group in Lynnwood during my senior year of high school. I made some great friends and when the youth pastor moved on my recently graduated friends and I decided to lead the group until a new leader could be found. It was there I discovered my passion for working with the youth. I took my passion with me to Everett where I attended Trinity Lutheran College and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Children, Youth, and Family Studies. Throughout my studies I got to work with many different youth groups and expanding my views on how to effectively "do" youth group. Also during my time at Trinity I met my wife Katie, we married in 2010 and have two children, Lillian and Zander.

Stephanie McIlwain Miller
Director of Children's Ministries
email: stephanie@lakewaumc.org
Years ago I found that my true passion is for teaching music to young people as an impetus for their faith formation and an introduction to service, not just in the church, but also in the community and the world. To that end, I have been directing choirs for children and youth since 1985, and have founded or restarted programs for three-year-olds through young adults in Washington, Illinois, and Indiana, where I also served as Director of Music at Grace United Methodist Church, Lafayette. I am a member of the American Choral Directors Association, the Fellowship of United Methodists in Music and Worship Arts, and a long term member of the Choristers Guild , for which I currently serve on the national Board of Directors. My master's degree is in speech-language pathology and my work in that field provided me with an extensive background working with individuals of varying developmental levels and special needs. I firmly believe that anyone who wants to sing in a church choir should be encouraged to do so, and I work with all choristers to make it a fun and growth-filled experience. I am also an actress and theater director. My skills in these areas translate into creativity-developing and fun-filled rehearsals for the choirs, and broaden the range of arts offerings in worship.

Yellowstone Turns to Michelin For Rubber Walkways
By Real Leaders | Apr 12, 2018
Yellowstone National Park experiences more than 4 million visits annually. The park's volume of foot traffic, particularly around the famous geyser, Old Faithful, has put a strain on the existing walkways.
Tire manufacturer Michelin first partnered with Yellowstone three years ago, providing the park with reliable tires for its many recreational and maintenance vehicles. This partnership also helped identify other areas where the company could provide assistance, including answering the challenge of creating new and improved paths that would accommodate the crowds without disturbing the park's ecosystem.
If you like this, subscribe here for more stories that Inspire The Future.
Now, the goals in creating upgraded walkways around the park's most popular areas include finding a paving material that is durable but also sustainably produced.
Using recycled tires that Michelin donated to the park, the Michelin Corporate Foundation's plan involves replacing the aging asphalt paths in Yellowstone with KBI Flexi-Pave, a porous material that allows rainwater and melting snow to drain through the material. This process promotes the natural flow of water, minimizes erosion, and allows water to replenish the geyser basin at Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin.
In addition, Flexi-Pave does not release pollutants into the soil, break apart with wear, or cause significant storm-water runoff.
Flexi-Pave is a composite product made of stone and rubber granules that is chemically inert. The granules create a safe, durable, non-slip walking surface that accommodates wheelchairs as well as walkers. The unique material and design of the Flexi-Pave surface also resists the wear and tear associated with freezing and thawing conditions.
Additional goals of the ongoing partnership between Michelin and Yellowstone include educating the public about the importance of preserving national parks and inspiring similar projects elsewhere.
"We hope that this eco-friendly park walkway will inspire other similar projects that help preserve natural systems," says Jeff Augustin, Senior Director of Park Projects at Yellowstone Forever, the official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park.
"Yellowstone shares Michelin's commitment to being a global leader in sustainability for the future," says Leesa Owens, director of community relations for Michelin North America. "Our partnership has created opportunities for visitors to enjoy the park's wonders for years to come."

Along our country lanes and roads, from June to September, this tall (1m), hairy annualo or biennial plant brightens up the hedgerows with its lovely feathery leaves and umbels of flowers. Also known as Queen Anne's Lace on account of the delicacy of the little individual flowers and the feathery divided bracts which surround them. The creamy-white flowers (2-3mm across) are held in broad, flat umbels and the central flower of the umbel is sometimes pink or red. The petals of each little flower are unequal. The bracts surrounding the umbel are 3-lobed and showy and they curve upwards, shaping all of the umbel into a cup-like shape when they are in fruit. The leaves are finely cut, bi- or tri-pinnately divided with narrow leaflets. This is a native plant belonging to the family Apiaceae.
My first record of this plant is in Co Cavan in 1984 and I took the photographs in Gibletstown, Co Wexford in 2008.
This wildflower is also known as 'Bird's nest' because of its shape when in fruit. Handling the leaves of this plant can cause a degree of discomfort to the skin.

I've had a little break from my blog just because sometimes you need it!
This blog post is a makeup review/first impressions all about the new Marc Jacobs new Highliners! I was sent 2 of the new Highliners from Influenster which was amazing!
I have tested them and created a look with them! The colours that I received were the (Pop)ular and Pink of me. These were both 2 intense pink Highliners and are super pigmented!
I have used these in my new YouTube Valentine's Day tutorial which you should totally go and check out!
Anyway, these Highliners can be purchased for £20 each and I'm so lucky to have had the chance to review them and try them out! They are honestly worth the money for a creamy eyeliner which has the most amazing pigment! Did I mention that they stay on all day too? It's crazy how you can find such a good beauty product at the most random time!
My favourite colour out of the two would be pink of me just because it is a lighter colour which is more suited to my skin tone and I just like baby pink colours too much!
Hope you enjoyed this post review guys and there will be more posts coming soon!!
Stay happy and be yourself!
your welcome, it is a great post, I loved it.

Obec Libořice se nachází v okrese Louny v Ústeckém kraji. Žije v ní  obyvatel.

Historie
První písemná zmínka o obci pochází z roku 1333.

Obyvatelstvo
Při sčítání lidu v roce 1921 zde žilo 695 obyvatel (z toho 321 mužů), z nichž bylo 59 Čechoslováků, 631 Němců a pět cizinců. S výjimkou dvaceti evangelíků, sedmi židů a jednoho člověka bez vyznání se hlásili k římskokatolické církvi. Podle sčítání lidu z roku 1930 měla vesnice 729 obyvatel: 127 Čechoslováků, 600 Němců a dva cizince. Kromě římskokatolické většiny zde žilo dvacet evangelíků, jeden člen církve československé, pět židů a sedm lidí bez vyznání.

Pamětihodnosti
Na jižním okraji návsi stojí zemědělský dvůr s libořickým zámkem, který vznikl přestavbou starší tvrze za hraběte Františka Josefa Šlika v roce 1737. Protější stranu návsi uzavírá budova barokní fary (čp. 31) ze druhé poloviny osmnáctého století a nad ní stojí kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie z roku 1716. Zámek, fara i kostel jsou chráněné jako kulturní památky.

"This implies fierce competition for properties, where patrons which can be able to act quick and pose less danger to the seller have the benefit. The least used will likely be those of higher priced between the 2 extremes of used motorhomes on the market. The house owner may want to acquire financing for a new dwelling, obtain an ample amount to finance the mortgage of the property that is up for sale, or simply need to move to another place.
Not only such a property can still be found in fashionable areas akin to Le Marche, Umbria, Abruzzo and throughout the rest of Italy, however Italy is loads of entire villages and cities waiting to be discovered by motivated buyers who wish to invest in property in Italy: these are the ghost cities of Italy.
The house owners are actively showing their home, they've a realtor who's working for them, and realtors & brokers can find the house in the MLS listings. The bidders take part in the auction on the desired date and the base value is the excellent loan quantity which is usually less than the property market prevalent value.


A helmet is required to ride! All riders must wear a DOT, SNELL or other approved helmet, protective eye wear, and over-the-ankle footwear.

Ghost Outfit
3rd August MANCHESTER Now Wave @ The Castle
Exciting news from new Manchester noise-pop duo GHOST OUTFIT who are spreading both audio and visual vibes with their new Young Ghosts EP and The Young Ghosts video project.
Consisting singer/guitarist Jack and drummer Mike, Ghost Outfit are a pair whose brilliantly schizo-fi straddles the noise-enhanced boundary between emotionally driven pop and intensely pulsing beats. Two guys embarking upon uncharted territory that's already seen their first gig on a number 42 Magic Bus and who aren't quite satisfied with simply releasing songs…
Enter The Young Ghosts Video Project. Inspired by Kanye's G.O.O.D Fridays, this summer we'll have Ghost Thursdays. Each week at 10pm, a new video offering a snapshot into the Outfit's wealth of home-recorded material will be posted to outfittedghosts.tumblr.com – one for each track on the two halves of their compilation-esque Young Ghosts EP. They could easily just have given some songs away in one lump and be done with it, but where'd be the fun in that?
Directed by the band themselves (Mike is an animator), Manchester's much-lauded live sessions website MCR Scenewipe, video man for 'Salford, England's newly established SWAYS label Steven Cherry, and art school friends Kamran Ali, Will Sharp, Adam Renshaw, the videos are divergent and stylised, yet still retain the tracks' homespun feel. "Some are animations, some filmed, some long, some short and all a little bit weird," reveals Jack. "Expect many an outfitted ghost to make an appearance… themes and concepts will probably be quite disparate; not too harshly contrasting but no particular one theme"
Something Will Sharp explains further in his visual contribution to A-side track 'Cough'. "The video is a short clip of hand painted animation, done on 8mm film. The whole idea was to produce a sensation that related to the clattered harsh noises and instrumental cough that can be heard from this track. The editing and production of this video is very raw, just like the band's sound"
It's no surprise then that the fellas have already attracted SWAYS' attention and been granted access to the ranks of young new artists on the label. In fact, already so revered, the label's recently been adopted by its neighbouring city having been described as "Manchester's most influential new independent label". SWAYS will release the Outfit's forthcoming debut 7" which will come with an accompanying Young Ghosts
EP cassette tape featuring all 13 tracks from the video project.

Hercules & Love Affair


Rockford sophomore pitcher Tricia Graham delivers against Muskegon.
Senior Sadie Jensen rips a double versus Grand Haven.
Rockford's Lady Rams began the OK Red portion of their season in impressive fashion last week, starting with an 11-0 victory in Grand Haven on April 22. Tricia Graham completely shut down the Buc offense by allowing 0 hits, striking out 14 batters, and allowing just one walk on the day. Offensively, Graham and junior centerfielder Lauren Pasciak led the way with two hits and three runs batted in apiece.
Ram senior Carly Shutich is up against the Big Reds.
On Friday, April 24, the Rams hosted the Muskegon Big Reds in a doubleheader. Both games ended with identical 15-0 scores in favor of the Rams. Game one featured strong hitting from junior second baseman Nicole Beemer, who went two-for-two and scored three runs, and senior shortstop Carly Shutich, who had two hits while scoring two and knocking in two more. On the mound, Graham won game one, allowing just one hit, and sophomore Peyton Wells won game two, allowing just one hit and one walk. In game two, senior outfielder Sadie Jensen homered and drove in three runs, while Graham had a pair of doubles and scored twice. Senior Taylor Sargent and junior Kristin Phillips also scored two runs in the win.
On Saturday, April 25, the Rams traveled to Frankenmuth to compete in the Swing Into Spring Tournament. The Rams won their first game of the day against Hartland 10-0 behind yet another gem by Graham, as she and her battery-mate Karli Showers combined for their fourth no-hitter of the young season, striking out 17. Offensively, senior third baseman Alex Fulbright scored three times and Pasciak belted a home run and drove in three runs.
In game two on Saturday, Rockford defeated Holly 12-4 behind a balanced offensive attack which featured home runs by Graham and Wells, who drove in three more runs to run her season RBI total to 20. Scoring two runs apiece were juniors Halley Pattok, who is batting 0.429 on the season, and speedy right fielder Morgan Ruchty, who already has 11 stolen bases in as many attempts.
In the final game of the day, the Rams were defeated for the first time this season, falling to host Frankenmuth in a rain-shortened five-inning game by a score of 7-0. The Eagles' senior pitcher Heather Schultz shut down the potent Rockford bats and the home team took advantage of sloppy Ram defense, turning three errors into four unearned runs off Graham.
The Rams (10-1 overall) continue OK Red play this week, traveling to rival Jenison on Tuesday, April 28, and then to Grandville on Thursday, April 30, for a twin bill against the Bulldogs. Playing alongside the varsity squad each of those days will be the Rockford junior varsity team, which as of last Thursday had outscored the opposition 70-21 on the season.
