McPherson surprises Paris field from outside lane
By	Paul-Andre Walker August 24, 2019
Stepheni-Ann McPherson
Jamaica's Stephenie-Ann McPherson ran a blinding final 50 to win the 400 metres inside the Charlety Stadium at the Paris Diamond League on Saturday.
McPherson clocked 51.11 seconds to claim the Diamond League one-lap event ahead of the United States's Kendall Ellis, who was timed in 51.21.
Another US athlete, Shakima Wimbley, was third in 51.50.
McPherson, coming off the final bend was not in the frame for a medal but found an extra gear over the last 70 metres, advancing from fourth to storm past Ellis, who was also moving past Wimbley.
The strong finish from Ellis was impressive but McPherson showed real heart, making sure her lane seven assignment counted for nothing.
The United States' Phyllis Francis was a disappointing fourth in 51.56, while the Netherland's Lisanne de Witte was fifth in 51.83.
Botswana's Christine Botlogetswe, 52.02, France's Deborah Sananes, 52.04, and her countrywoman Amandine Brossier, 53.29, rounded out the field.

Fraser-Pryce, Gayle named Jamaica's athletes of the year
World Champions Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Tajay Gayle were named the 2019 RJRGleaner Sports Foundation Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year in an awards ceremony at the Jamaica Pegasus on Friday.
Fraser-Pryce saw the award presented to her for a fourth time, having previously claimed the honour in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The recognition capped off an exceptional season for the diminutive sprinter who previously became the only athlete to win the 100m World Championship title on four occasions with triumph in Doha.
Quartermiler Shericka Jackson, who claimed three gold medals at the World Championships, with bronze in the 400m and 4x400m along with gold in the 4x100m, was runner up behind Fraser-Pryce.
The year was also an exceptional one for Gayle. The athlete created history at the Doha World Championships after upstaging Juan Miguel Echevarria to claim top spot. The winning jump was the longest in the world in 10 years. It was also the farthest distance recorded at the World Championships since Ivan Pedroso's 8.70m leap in Gothenburg, recorded some 24 years ago.
Fedrick Dacres, the World Championships discus silver medallist, was voted runner up to the Sportsman of the Year. The other male nominees were Christopher Binnie (squash), Yona Knight-Wisdom (diving) and Travis Smikle (athletics). Fraser-Pryce and Jackson were joined by Alia Atkinson (swimming) and Rushell Clayton, Natoya Goule, Shanieka Ricketts, Danniel Thomas-Dodd, Elaine Thompson and Danielle Williams.
Briana Williams signs multi-year deal with Nike
Briana Williams has gone pro!
The 17-year-old Jamaican, who had an outstanding year in 2019, has signed a multi-year contract with Nike. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Recognized as one of the rising stars in track and field having won the sprint double at the World U20 Championships in Tampere in 2018, Williams was courted by a number of shoe companies with PUMA and Nike being the frontrunners.
Nike eventually won the right to the signature of the talented teen, whose coach Ato Boldon confirmed the signing to Sportsmax.TV.
"Briana has had people dedicated to her abilities for many years. Even before me, Coach Tennessee and Coach Damion Thomas, have done right by her," Boldon said.
"I was just handed the baton for this leg of the race, but I've been around this industry a long time and for a company like Nike, who can back anyone, to put this level of support behind Briana, makes all of the work over the last five years, worth it. She is extremely blessed and fortunate to be where she is at just 17."
Williams, who turns 18 in March, said the Nike deal has provided a platform for her to chase her dreams.
"I'm extremely proud. I have come a long way. This is a big deal for me because I'm young but I'm ready to show the world what I am capable of," said Williams who now belongs to the group (HSI) that includes indoor 400m WR holder Mike Norman and world champions Christian Coleman and Dalilah Muhammad.
"I'm glad that Nike gave me this opportunity. It means the world to me as a girl with big dreams."
The year 2019 was a big year for Williams. She won the 100m at the NACAC U18 Championships in Mexico and the Pan Am U20 Championships in Costa Rica during the year in which she ran unbeaten at the junior level.
She also won the Austin Sealy Award at the CARIFTA Games for the second year running after winning three gold medals, duplicating her achievements in 2018. In June, she set a Jamaican junior record of 11.02s in New Mexico.
Track & Field News, considered the bible of the sport, recognized her stellar year by naming her their High School Athlete of the Year for 2019.
The prodigious teen suffered a setback during the year when she returned an adverse finding for a banned diuretic found in her urine sample at the Jamaican National Championships in June where she finished third in the 100m behind two-time Olympic champions Elaine Thompson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
As such, her time of 10.94s, which would have been a U18 world record and a national junior record for Jamaica, was subsequently struck from the record books.
Following a hearing before an Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel in September, Williams was reprimanded but was free to compete. However, due to how late the verdict came, her chances of competing at the 2019 World Championships in Doha were effectively dashed.

Newsbud Exclusive: Israel's Mossad Replaces CIA as Handler of Libyan Strongman Khalifa Haftar
August 18, 2017 Winter Watch Around the Web, International News 0

By Sibel Edmonds | 10 August 2017
NEWSBUD — A recent revelation, albeit quietly by choice, has been trickling under the popular western-dominated news radar. This under-reported, to the point of outright censored, exposé, has to do with Israel secretly providing weapons and military assistance to Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), one of the factions in the so-called Libyan Civil War.
Libya has remained in a state of war for over six years — since 2011, when a western-concocted and directed uprising led to the demise of the country's leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The strongest faction in war-torn and chaos-ridden Libya is the eastern-based Tobruk-led government, which is affiliated with LNA, who's commander is Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, an old adversary of Gaddafi, who lived in the United States for several decades and became a U.S. citizen before returning to Libya in 2011.
In February of 2011 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1970, which prohibits the export of war materiel to Libya. Only two months ago, in June 2017, the United Nations accused Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates of violating the embargo by providing secret military assistance and weapons to Haftar and the LNA:
The panel of experts which reports on violations of U.N. sanctions across Libya said Haftar's forces had received aircraft as well as military vehicles from the United Arab Emirates, and had built up an air base at Al Khadim. The annual U.N. report provides rare detail on the level of outside intervention in Libya, where foreign backing for rival armed camps is widely seen as having exacerbated conflict.
"The United Arab Emirates have been providing both material support and direct support to the LNA, which have significantly increased the air support available to the LNA," it said. The U.N. report included satellite imagery of Al Khadim air base, about 105 km (65 miles) east of Benghazi, between July 2014 and March 2017, showing a gradual build-up of infrastructure and aircraft, including drones "most probably" operated by the UAE.
The panel said it had confirmed a delivery of 93 armored personnel carriers and 549 armored and non-armored vehicles to the LNA in the eastern city of Tobruk in April 2016. The personnel carriers likely included Panther T6 and Tygra models, both made by companies based in the UAE, the report said, and were delivered by ship from Saudi Arabia.
Yet, despite recent reports establishing Israel as a supplier of war materiel and air power support to LNA-Haftar, there has not been a peep from either the United Nations or the Western media outlets. […]

Q: Edits to plugin not taking effect I want to make some edits to a plugin that I've downloaded. I used the Plugin Editor, but the changes did not show up. I tried refreshing, logging out/back in, and deactivating/activating the plugin.
I gave up on that route and decided to:

*

*deactivate/delete the plugin via the admin page

*delete the plugin folder via FTP to make sure there were no remaining files

*make the desired edits to my local copy

*upload the folder to the site via FTP

*activate plugin

I verified that the new, edited file is up on the server, but the changes still do not show up.
I am guessing there is some sort of caching going on, but I don't know where to begin to clear it.
Other info that may be helpful:

*

*The URL of the page that I am trying to update is .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=dlm_addnew

*The plugin is Download Monitor and the file I updated is uploader.php

*I have no caching plugins and no wp-content/cache folder

*My site has cPanel, phpMyAdmin, etc.

Thank you for your time!

A: Easiest way to test for caching - make a plugin-breaking change (remove a ; or something), upload it, and see what happens.  If your admin panel whitescreens, congratulations - you don't have caching.  If it doesn't, chances are your server is caching all php content with something APC.  Contact them and ask about caching.

Remember the famous game where you have to shoot space invaders with your spacecraft? Sometime invaders dropped a bonus to make you stronger for the fight. I personally spent hours playing this game!
We decided to revive this game having our own GSX Invader hidden on our website and also attending TechED North America. The rules remain the same: you have to find the invader, then to shoot him with your camera to get a bonus…and there are plenty of bonuses: space light-up glasses, T-shirts, USB keys, and last but not least an amazing Caribbean Cruise!
Make sure you take a picture with the E-Space Invader.
The winner will be announced on the last day conference at lunch time at our booth #1944.
Not attending TechED North America?
You can also participate in the competition finding the Space invader hidden on GSX's website. Click on the icon to participate, but make sure you do before June 14th!

The Väddö Canal () is an artificial canal first dug in the 16th century to provide a sheltered passage between the  to the south and the  to the north. The canal separates the island of Väddö from the mainland, and passes through the village of Älmsta at its northern end, and the lake of Storfjärden towards its middle.

The canal has an official depth of 2.0 metres and is mainly used by leisure boats, with some 20,000 boats passing through every year. There are no locks, but there are two opening bridges, the Älmstabron and the Bagghusbron.

The canal is routed along, or close to, what was originally a natural waterway, but this ceased to be navigable in the middle ages. A new channel was dredged several times, the first time to the order of King Gustav I in the 16th century. By the 18th century, the waterway had again ceased to be navigable, and the current canal was dug by the Swedish Army between 1820 and 1840, with traffic using it from 1835 onwards. At the beginning of the 20th century the channel was straightened, widened and deepened.

FStoppers released a video comparison between the iPhone X and a Panasonic GH5, both shooting 4K Video. The results are quite interesting considering the price difference between the two.
Some of these are pretty incredible. In well lit conditions, it is pretty tough not to choose the iPhone result over the professional video camera. In low light however, the $2500 Panasonic comes out on top.

***Drum roll please!*** After months of studying maps and thousands of miles of trail scouting... here is the final route for the 2015 Nevada Discovery Ride! (You can click the map to enlarge it.)The ride will begin at the geographic center of Nevada. From there the route runs east through central Nevada, drops south down the spine of the White Pine Range, a short jaunt east again, north all the way up near the Idaho border, west across the northernmost part of Nevada along the Oregon border, and then drops south again to finally end in Reno. Whew! With the same plan of averaging 20 miles a day, and rest days built in weekly, this 1,100 mile route will take 70 days to complete. I plan to leave mid-August and should arrive in Reno at the end of October.
In many ways this route should prove to be much more exciting than last year's route. It includes a whopping 23 mountain range crossings, wilderness areas, desert crossing, forests, one interstate and one highway crossing, the Pony Express Trail, Hasting's Cutoff, the California Trail, primitive pack trails, and active railroad lines. Of course, it will also offer plenty of ghost towns and other forgotten sites. This time around we will only ride through one town: Jarbidge (population 182). Cell service will be spotty (just like last time) but I can promise there will be some epic photos and stories to share with you all.
Welcome to the geographic center of Nevada... or as it will be known this time next year: the start of the 2nd Nevada Discovery Ride! Ryan and I spent this holiday weekend racking up the miles to scout more sections of the route. We began where I plan to begin -- in the middle of the state. There is not much in this valley southeast of Austin, except for this little marker. There's not even cell service, which means I won't be able to post a picture of our send off! But, I think it will be a great place start. Did you notice that road to the right of the sign? That's my road for day 1 heading off into the Monitor Range!
We also scouted Kalamazoo Pass (just northeast of Ely), Schellbourne Pass (on the famed Pony Express Trail), the Antelope Range and Valley, Goshute Valley, the Pequop Range (and it's unsettling route right next to an active railroad line), and finally, my Interstate 80 crossing (not easy!). On that last one -- I always harp about the importance of scouting in advance (where possible) and I think this trip proved my point. After consulting topo and satellite maps I thought I had found a good route across the very busy interstate... but when we went to check it out we found there is no gate along the fence line, and thus no way around the cattle guard! We ended up checking several more exits in an attempt to find a safe way across the highway. It seems no interstate exits have gates built into their fencing. And I suppose it makes sense - why would you need one? Anyway, after checking out several exits we finally settled on one, but it too lacks a gate, so now we know that Ryan will have to carry a piece of plywood in the truck that we can lay over the cattle guard for Sage to cross. Better to know that now then be stuck alongside the interstate next year!
We saw only a few bands of horses in our travels (photos below) but they all looked pretty healthy. There is, of course, beautiful country out there, and seeing bits of it just makes me more excited to hit the trail next year. All that's left to do route-wise is re-scout the Jarbidge area. It's the only part of the ride where I will be on old pack trails in a wilderness area. That means trails that may or may not be visible anymore, very tough mountain terrain, and absolutely no vehicle access - which means Ryan can't get in with supplies. So, we're going to try to head back out there in the fall and that should be our last place to scout! In the meantime, I should have our final route map and itinerary posted this week!!
On a side note, thanks to everyone that came out to the Wild Horse Faire in Virginia City last weekend. I feel like I talked to about a hundred people! Everyone was super supportive and excited to follow the next ride. I also raised about $550 through the sale of our branded merchandise. All of that of course will help fund the next ride. So thank you also to everyone who bought something. I have had a lot of requests, so I will work on getting some of that merchandise available through this website for people to purchase. Stay tuned!

Inaugural Love Your Lungs event kicks off Lung ...
Inaugural Love Your Lungs event kicks off Lung Cancer Awareness Month
New warnings about lung health during COVID and why health disparities are leading to worse outcomes
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, keeping your lungs healthy has never been more important. One of the best steps you can take is to give up tobacco products, which can put people who get COVID-19 at risk for complications. For some people, quitting smoking can be challenging, and health disparities play a major role.
COVID-19 and tobacco = trouble
In a first for our area, health care leaders are teaming up for a free, virtual, public event called Love Your Lungs on Nov. 5 from 1-4 p.m. Learn more and register for Love Your Lungs here
UC Davis Health lung experts and others in the Greater Sacramento health care community will discuss topics including COVID-19 and the historical context of racism, trauma, poverty and the Black experience in America, with an emphasis on why Black people smoke and have poorer smoking-related health outcomes.
Now is a critical time to stop using tobacco products. The California Department of Public Health says people who smoke or vape may be at increased risk from COVID-19 and may have worse outcomes after getting the coronavirus.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
The UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center says the best way to prevent the leading cause of cancer deaths is to stop smoking. It's estimated that 80% of all lung cancers are caused by tobacco use.
For patients with cancer, stopping tobacco use and exposure is an important part of treatment. The Stop Tobacco Program at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has helped hundreds of patients since 2018 and is part of the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Center Cessation Initiative.
If you want help quitting, call 1-800-NO-BUTTS or text QUITNOW to 66819.
Adding to these concerns, youth e-cigarette use remains at epidemic levels. More than 3.6 million youth in the U.S. vape, including one in five high school students. Life-threatening lung illnesses caused by e-cigarette use were on the rise before the pandemic and continue to send patients to emergency departments.
Love Your Lungs speakers
The keynote speaker for Love Your Lungs is Sacramento County Public Health Officer Olivia Kasirye, M.D.
Moon Chen, professor and associate director for population sciences & community outreach/engagement at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, will kick off the event.
Other UC Davis Health speakers include:
Elisa Tong, M.D.
Associate professor, general medicine
SToP: Stop Tobacco Program, medical director
CA Quits, project director
Lisa Brown, M.D.
Assistant professor, thoracic surgery
Clinical director, Comprehensive Lung Cancer Screening Program
During Love Your Lungs, get your questions answered during a Q&A session and participate in interactive activities for a chance to win prizes. The Sacramento Kings' Slamson will make an appearance to promote healthy lungs.

Agenda Over Profit: Hollywood Resurrects Toxic Rosie O.
Filed under: Entertainment, Nation — Tags: rosie o'donell oprah tom selleck — Jesusland @ 00:09
Queen of Nice: Rosie O'donell
300 million Americans to choose from, and they give us an angry Lesbian who used to fake a crush on Tom Cruise? Meet the next "Oprah."
I must have missed the groundswell of support and the public clamor for the return of Rosie O'Donnell to the daytime airwaves. It seemed that her time in the cultural spotlight had passed following her notorious 2008 variety show failure (It was hailed by one merciful critic as "dead on arrival") and her exile to a daily Sirius XM radio show that caters to creepy shut-ins and those unlucky listeners who can't figure out how to tune-in to Howard Stern. But like some sort of loudmouthed, frumpy, left-wing vampire who just won't stay in the ground, she is threatening to rise again with a terrifying plan to replace Oprah once the Queen of Daytime TV retires in 2011. Someone in Hollywood, please – break out the garlic.
This is no longer the same country as it was back in 1999 when Rosie was honchoing her first daytime gabfest and hassling Tom Selleck over his support for the Second Amendment of the Constitution. It's not even the same country as it was in May 2007, when the former "Queen of Nice's" anti-conservative bile culminated in her slandering American fighting men and women as terrorists on The View:
She also takes particular pleasure in attacking the Catholic Church and seems to consider anyone not buying wholesale into her radical agenda against traditional marriage and adoption as a contemptible bigot. And let's not forget her equally insightful foray into that moronic twilight zone known as 9/11 trutherism; it completes her personal trifecta of idiocy.
More evidence here for Andrew Klavan's point that the pop culture deciders aren't motivated by the bottom line, but by their Sec Prog ideology. Remember this one? The "Queen of Nice" haranguing the soft-spoken, polite and conservative Tom Selleck:
Back in my day when bitches would talk like that they would get the back of my hand. In this case given the size of that pig I would have to cut the bacon off her back.

Virtualization provides for server consolidation and improved utilization of your compute resources. However, it's difficult to know if your virtualization strategy is leaving resources unused or overtaxing resources unless you're monitoring the details of your virtualized infrastructure. LogicMonitor removes the guesswork by automating the monitoring of Microsoft Hyper-V systems.
Using Hyper-V internal metrics, LogicMonitor gathers a wealth of performance data, providing operations intelligence and unmatched visibility into your Hyper-V environment.
Alerts are triggered based on pre-defined thresholds defined from Microsoft engineering. As a result, LogicMonitor allows you to correlate performance issues and resource bottlenecks across your infrastructure before they impact your customers.
The hypervisor is the core of how Hyper-V works; understanding the interplay of physical processors vs logical processors, along with memory usage and pressure, are critical to managing resource utilization. Pre-defined alerts explain how to alleviate issues in plain English, so you don't have to become an expert in Hyper-V internals.
Automatically discover and monitor all of your virtual machines. Track CPU utilization, memory usage and pressure, network throughput, storage performance, and more. Detailed statistics and alerts let you isolate VM performance issues quickly and easily.
Head off performance issues and resource shortfalls with an overview of all virtual machines. LogicMonitor can help you visualize all virtual machines at a glance so you can identify which ones are impacting CPU, memory, storage, and network resources on the underlying host.
The more VMs your Hyper-V server is running, the more critical it becomes to your service operation. In addition to Hyper-V metrics, LogicMonitor discovers and monitors the hardware supporting your Hyper-V environment, so you know about issues before they affect your customers. Has a power supply failed? Is a fan slowing? Is the chassis temperature rising? With LogicMonitor, you'll know.
Add LogicMonitor's powerful monitoring of Linux, Windows, storage systems, databases, and applications, and you've got your Hyper-V monitoring issues solved.


Biologists are scrambling to tackle a new virus now threatening to invade human population centres in the Caribbean and warm parts of Europe and the US. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) reappeared on islands in the Indian Ocean and Asia around 2000, when a genetic mutation allowed it to be carried by the Tiger mosquito – a breed adapted to temperate climates. Although CHIKV is rarely fatal, the lack of effective treatment means it poses serious health risks with Dengue fever-like symptoms, and in some cases, sleeping sickness. To visualise how the virus spreads through hosts, biologists have taken snapshots of infected zebrafish larvae (pictured) at 48, 72 and 96 hours (bottom image) post-infection. The immune response (red) of infected tissue allowed them to track the rise and death of cells, and to discover that neutrophils – a type of white blood cell – could efficiently suppress the spread of the virus.

What if "fig leaf feminism" just continued as before?
By Becca Roberts On Dec 13, 2022
When Jane Fraser of Citigroup Inc. withdrew from a forum of global finance leaders in Hong Kong, she left the marquee event with virtually no female speakers. What's more, it has once again become clear that very few companies are still run by women.
Fraser was to be one of just three panellists at the Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit, which announced Hong Kong's reopening after nearly three years of strict Covid quarantines and a tightening of political oversight by Beijing. Amundi SA Chief Executive Officer Valerie Baudson was another, but she dropped out too.
So it's time to move the discussion beyond the boardroom and into the C-suite. It's no longer enough for companies to pat themselves on the back for appointing women to their boards. They must prioritize getting into – and keeping – line management positions with profit and loss responsibility that traditionally lead to the CEO. And investors, for their part, need to sharpen their view of how companies achieve this and push for policies that promote gender balance in leadership positions.
Despite more gender-biased boards in the US, Europe, Australia and soon Hong Kong, women are still grossly underrepresented in top positions. At some point, more women at the boardroom will no longer be seen as a measure of meaningful progress because it doesn't reflect diversity in all its shades. In the US, for example, women of color perform even worse in the leadership pipeline.
Only 37 — or 7.4% — of the 503 companies in the S&P 500 are led by women. There are only 16 female CEOs in the S&P/ASX 200 Index in Australia, a mere 8%. Globally, only 6% of the 1,507 companies in the MSCI World Index had female executives at the end of November, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In Australia, where women now represent well over 30% of board members, it is estimated that it will take 100 years for women to hold at least 40% of all CEO positions in the top 200 companies. Among the top 300, more this year than last year have no women on their executive teams, and out of 28 CEO appointments in 12 months, only four were women, according to the 2022 Chief Executive Women Senior Executive Census.
Companies are struggling to hold on to the few female executives they have in the US. McKinsey & Co. and LeanIn.Org's "Women in the Workplace 2022" report found that in what has been dubbed "The Great Breakup," female leaders are changing jobs at the highest rates ever. This leaves too few to promote to higher management positions: for every 100 men, only 87 women move from entry-level positions to management positions.
It is not wise to miss the perspective and contribution of 50% of the population. Not for business, not for gender equality and not for corporate governance. It also sends a somber message to future generations of aspiring female leaders. And it does nothing to close the gender pay gap, which averages just over 10% across OECD countries.
Bodies can ensure that they are not only diverse, but that women exert the same influence as men and are not just symbolic complements – a trend dubbed "fig leaf feminism" by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Alberta . Female directors must be allowed to have room for manoeuvre, to use their skills and expertise and to have their opinions heard. In this way, they can have a greater say and influence on how companies achieve gender balance at all levels of their leadership. Boards also need to be broadened to accommodate potential female appointments. While women hold more seats, a study by the researchers found that this is not matched by an increase in the actual number of women, suggesting the same names sit on multiple bodies.
We should start pursuing women more rigorously in COO, CFO, CIO/CTO positions — those line roles that flow into CEOs — to monitor how companies are building a solid pipeline of female leadership talent. Much of this is already being done: HESTA, Australia's A$68 billion (US$46 billion) pension fund, has spearheaded an initiative to get companies to commit to a 40:40 vision to be gender balanced by 2030 reach leadership teams. The Champions of Change calls on men in positions of power to stand alongside women in enforcing gender equality in leadership.
And as much as I hate to say this, do women have to be hungrier to reach the top? Since Sheryl Sandberg's seminal book nearly 10 years ago, the lean-in argument has been proven flawed, but perhaps more ambition wouldn't go astray.
This is important as women leaders still face headwinds: their judgment is more likely to be questioned and they do more work that is often not recognized or appreciated. Appointing them to senior positions has long been considered risky.
Encouraging more female leaders could also make flexibility more acceptable. This point is particularly relevant after the pandemic has shown that women are taking on more responsibility for childcare and household chores. This is where companies need a rethink: They need to stop stigmatizing women who ask for flexible work while hailing men who do it as heroes. Or as Cate Luzio, Founder and CEO of women's networking platform Luminary Legacy LLC, recently said, "Women get promoted for their merit, and men get promoted for their potential."
There is still a long way to go to deepen the shallow pool of female CEOs, and so we need to start questioning gender diversity in leadership roles to reach the day when more (much, much more) companies are owned by Jane Frasers and Valerie Baudsons. And if they can't make an event, it stops making headlines.

• Sandberg's underappreciated "Lean In" legacy: Sarah Green Carmichael

Parris suing the state
MORE THAN TWO MONTHS after the assets of Leroy Parris, the former head of the collapsed financial giant CLICO, were frozen, he is suing the state.
In the latest court battle, Parris is claiming that his constitutional right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time has been breached. Parris and his consultancy company Branlee were the subject of an ex parte hearing filed by CLICO's judicial manager Deloitte Consulting Limited in which an injunction was sought and obtained freezing his assets at the end of January.
But yesterday Queen's Counsel Hal Gollop, the lead counsel representing Parris and his company, took to the airwaves to say that he and the legal team did not believe their clients were being treated fairly by the court system. He cited the length of time it was taking to have a second hearing on the matter after the freezing of the assets. (AC)

If reputable firms such as those above offer that, you always be informed of the veneer and also the base wood – no attempts to trick you!
An online search of what is available on the internet is an excellent way of finding high quality custom household furniture. Look for fine furniture manufacturers, or companies that distribute their work. You will not find high quality furniture in flat-pack set up. When you purchase fine bedroom furniture, each piece will be delivered in its correct form and not put together in your property with screws and plugs, many that might be missing!

Lift a chair the wrong way up and examine it: professional quality chairs can have a canvas on the bottom, or at lowest proper webbing and springs on the seats offer support and luxury. Cheap furniture will have a plywood base and a slab of foam!

Good advice is not always godly advice.
We should weigh every decision against the word of God. When faced with a problem or a tough decision, we should go to the word of God and take our counsel from it. When we are at a crossroads in our life, what we put our trust and confidence in is important. It is the difference between life and death, success and failure, overcoming or being conquered by something or someone. You are the only one who can decide for your life — no one else can decide for you.
What a person believes is very important to their life. IF you choose to believe in the word of God, and you have complete trust and confidence in the word of God, it will bring life to all your being. Proverbs 4:22 NLT says, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. This is speaking about the word of God.
Allowing God's word to have the final say will keep you safe, protected from making decisions that could cause harm to your life and well-being. God's word is full of wisdom — we must hold on to it, trust in it, and have confidence in it.
It's your choice. You choose whom you will serve.

Victoria Beard's research and teaching focus on comparative urbanization and international development planning.
Beard's research focuses on how planners address urban inequality and poverty. In cities in the Global South, communities often plan for themselves, outside of, in collaboration with, and in opposition to formal planning and regulatory frameworks. In response to the limitations of community-based planning, Beard has expanded her work to focus on the city perspective and access to basic services, particularly water and sanitation, and the broader processes that create and sustain city-wide transformation.
From 2015 to 2017, Beard served as director of research for the Ross Center for Cities at the World Resources Institute. In this role, she led work on the World Resources Report, Towards a More Equal City.
Over the past 20 years, she has worked for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, AusAID, Mercy Corps, the Research Triangle Institute, and RAND.
Beard holds a Ph.D. in community and regional planning from the University of British Columbia (1999); an M.A. in urban planning from University of California–Los Angeles (1995); and a B.A. in urban studies and planning from the University of California–San Diego (1992).

CRP 6720 International Institutions The course introduces students to the theory and practice of international development planning from an institutional perspective. It begins with an introduction to the field and provides a historical, institutional and theoretical overview. The course examines the main actors involved in the practice of international development planning: the public sector, civil society, community-based organizations and the private sector. It critically analyzes some of the large international institutions engaged in urban policy-making and global governance. The last section of the course examines timely topics that have the potential to reconfigure the institutional landscape, planning practice, and cities.
CRP 1101 The Global CityThe course introduces students to urbanization in the Global South. It examines the demographic, economic and historical processes that create cities. Attention is given to the role of the state, market, non-governmental actors and communities in planning, building, and governing of cities. The course investigates opportunities and challenges facing cities, including but not limited to unprecedented increases in inequality, migration, climate change, informality, and access to shelter and core infrastructure.
