What's The Deal With Tebow Mania?
April 20, 2015 by anthonywootton78, posted in 2014 NFL Season
Tim Tebow is back in football. The former Heisman winner tried and failed to cut it in professional football, but he's being handed an opportunity to prove his worth to the NFL.
The former Broncos and Jets QB had a workout with the Philadelphia Eagles last month and it appears that Chip Kelly liked what he saw. Tebow is expected to sign for the Eagles today and will join in the offseason program.
He becomes the fourth quarterback on their roster this offseason and he gives the NFC East team three First Round QBs in their squad.
"Tebow Mania" has followed this player wherever he's been. So why does he get so much hype? He struggled to make an impact for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, so what's the big deal?
TEBOW TIMELINE
Tim Tebow rushed for a TD in 2010's International Series game vs San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers won 24-16.
He was home educated.
2007 – He won the Heisman Trophy. That season he threw 32 touchdowns for the Florida Gators. He also rushed 23 TDs, which is an SEC (South Eastern Conference) record.
2008 – He finished third in the Heisman voting. His new team mate, Sam Bradford, won the honour that year.
2009 – Turned down the NFL Draft to complete his senior year with Florida Gators.
2010 – First Round draft pick for the Denver Broncos (25th overall). He set an NFL Draft record for jersey sales.
On October 31st he appeared at Wembley and ran in a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. Denver lost 24-16. His first start came on December 19, which was a 39-23 road loss to the Oakland Raiders. He completed eight of 16 passes for 138 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass. He also rushed for 78 yards, 40 of which came on a touchdown run in the first quarter of the game. It was the longest touchdown run for a quarterback in Broncos history and the longest touchdown run in NFL history for a quarterback in his first start.
Tebow's first career victory came in his second start on December 26. The Broncos defeated the Houston Texans, 24-23, in Denver. He helped rally the Broncos from a 17-0 deficit at halftime, as he finished the game with 308 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He also added a fourth quarter rushing touchdown, which capped the comeback.
He became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for a touchdown in each of his first three career starts.
2011 – He began the season as the Broncos' backup quarterback, behind Kyle Orton. After a 1-4 start and some poor performances, Orton was replaced by Tebow at halftime during a home game against the San Diego Chargers in week five.
Tebow nearly led the Broncos back from a 16-point deficit, as he passed and ran for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Chargers ultimately won the game, 29-24. The Broncos went on to make the play-offs with him behind centre.
After the three consecutive losses, Broncos vice president and former quarterback John Elway said Tebow was playing tentatively and needed to "pull the trigger."
In the wildcard round the Broncos hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tebow threw for a career high 316 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yard TD to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime, as the Broncos won 29-23.
The Broncos were then handed a 45-10 defeat by the New England Patriots the following week, knocking them out of the playoffs. Tebow completed 9 of 26 passes for 136 yards and was sacked five times; he also rushed five times for thirteen yards.
After the season, John Elway confirmed that Tebow would be the Broncos starting quarterback going into training camp in 2012.
Despite on-field successes by the Broncos under Tebow, he finished the season with the lowest passing completion rate in the NFL which led many to question his potential as a quarterback at the professional level.
2012 – The Broncos signed Peyton Manning and traded Tebow to the Jets, along with the Broncos' 2012 7th round pick, in exchange for the Jets' fourth and sixth round picks.
The Jets struggled that season and the fans and media called for Rex Ryan to bench the inconsistent Mark Sanchez in favour of Tebow.
Tebow suffered two broken ribs during a road game against the Seahawks, however, this was not confirmed until two days prior to the Jets' Thanksgiving contest against the New England Patriots. Tebow was active despite the injury which was publicly revealed after the game.
He was subsequently inactive during the Jets' following contest against the Arizona Cardinals in which Sanchez was benched in favour of Greg McElroy.
2013 – Tebow was released by the Jets having only thrown eight passes and run 32 times in his single season. He signed with the New England Patriots and played two preseason games. He failed to make the cut.
He presented for ESPN last season, but now Tebow Mania returns and the spotlight falls on Philly. Despite being out of the league, the 27-year-old Tebow remains one of the most popular players around. He has a legion of fans who follow him because of his strong Christian beliefs.
We're all guessing what Chip Kelly's next move will be this offseason, with speculation rife that he will trade up for Marcus Mariota in the draft next week. One thing's for sure, Chip's given us plenty to talk about.

Orange Walk Town, verkorte vorm Orange Walk, is een stad in het Midden-Amerikaanse land Belize en het bestuurlijk centrum van het gelijknamige district Orange Walk hierbinnen. De stad bevindt zich op de linkeroever van de rivier de New, op 106 kilometer ten noorden van Belize City en 50 kilometer ten zuiden van Corozal Town. Met 13.483 inwoners (2000) is het de derde stad van het land na Belize City en San Ignacio. Een groot deel van de bevolking bestaat uit Mestiezen, Creolen, mennonieten, Chinezen, Taiwanezen, Indiërs en volken uit Centraal-Amerika.

Geschiedenis
In de dagen van de Maya's, die de regio vanaf 2000 v.Chr. bevolkten, stond de plek bekend als Holpatin en vormde een belangrijke handelsnederzetting voor het vervoer over het water. In het omliggende district, ten zuiden van de stad, bevindt zich de grootste Maya-tempel uit de pre-klassieke periode; Lamanai. De Maya's uit het gebied kwamen in de jaren 30 van de 16e eeuw in contact met de Europeanen, die op zoek waren naar het waardevolle campêchehout (Haematoxylum campechianum). Er ontstond daarop een oorlog over grondeigendom tussen beide groepen. Volgens een lokale legende -waarvoor echter geen enkel bewijs is- zouden de eerste Europese kolonisten hier een houten kerk hebben gesticht en plantten ze langs de weg ernaartoe aan beide zijden rijen met sinaasappelbomen, waarvan vervolgens de naam 'Orange Walk' zou zijn afgeleid.

Door de houtwerkers, die het campêchehout via de rivier naar de kust vervoerden, maakte de plaats een kortstondige economische bloei door. De Spaanse koloniale overheid claimde echter de hete Yucatán en deed verschillende pogingen om de houthakkers te verjagen van de rivier de New, tot uiteindelijk in 1798 een vredesverdrag werd getekend, waarbij het recht om er hout te hakken werd gewaarborgd. In 1848 ontvluchtten veel Maya's en Mestiezen de Kastenoorlog (1847–1901) uit Mexico en ontstond een grote immigratiegolf in het gebied, waardoor de bevolking sterk groeide. Deze oorlog bedreigde aanvankelijk ook de plaats, maar de Britten verkochten vuurwapens en munitie aan de lokale volkeren, wat een aantal handelaren uit Orange Walk Town geen windeieren legde. De oorlog kwam in de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw toch dichter bij de stad, waarop het Britse leger haar garnizoen er vergrootte met 80 man en in 1866 twee militaire expedities uitstuurde, zonder veel succes: de tweede expeditie mondde uit in een hinderlaag, waarop de Britten zich met verlies van een aantal mannen en munitie moesten terugtrekken. Dit leidde ertoe dat versterkingen werden aangevoerd vanuit Jamaica. Nadat de gemoederen weer wat waren bedaard, begonnen de inwoners zich te verzetten tegen het grote Britse garnizoen in hun midden, waarop een deel weer werd teruggetrokken. In 1872 telde Orange Walk ongeveer 1200 inwoners, meest Creoolse houthakkers en Mestizische kleine boeren (milpero's) met een bovenlaag van Britse bestuurders en overheidsfunctionarissen. Op 1 september 1872 voerde krijgsheer Canul een aanval uit op Orange Walk met ongeveer 150 mannen. De aanval duurde een dag, waarop de aanvallers zich weer terugtrokken. Hierop volgde een vredesverdrag, maar de bevolking was er niet gerust op en binnen vier jaar stonden twee houten forten bij de plaats. Een ervan, Fort Mundy, was niet veel meer dan een pallisademuur die de belangrijkste gebouwen moest beschermen. De andere, Fort Cairns, was een groot fort met een slotgracht en een open vlakte eromheen, om eventuele aanvallers van verre te kunnen zien aankomen (de aanval in 1772 had het garnizoen volledig verrast). Het fort was gebouwd door het West India Regiment. Beide forten werden later weer afgebroken, maar de omvang van het tweede fort is nog goed zichtbaar.

De komst van de mestiezen als gevolg van de kasteoorlog, bracht ook veel tradities mee, die tot op heden zijn gebleven in het gebied. De mestiezen introduceerden het suikerriet, dat in de jaren daarop de basis ging vormen van de opkomende Beliziaanse industrie.

Economie
De suikerrietindustrie vormt nog steeds een belangrijke werkgever in het gebied en Orange Walk Town wordt dan ook wel Sugar City ("suikerstad") genoemd evenals haar inwoners als Citizen Cane bekendstaan. De lokale Tower Hill-suikerraffinaderij van het bedrijf Belize Sugar Industries is verantwoordelijk voor de verwerking van alle suikerriet uit Belize. Op 5 kilometer van de stad bevindt zich Cuello's Distillery, waar rum wordt gebrouwen. Om de afhankelijkheid van de suikermonocultuur wat af te laten nemen is de overheid al een aantal jaren bezig met het diversificeren van de landbouw, waarbij ingezet wordt op citrusvruchten, runderen en melkvee.

Het toerisme is een opkomende sector in de stad, die hierop redelijk is toegerust met hotels, restaurants, discotheken, een touroperator en een toeristeninformatiekantoor en presenteert zich als uitvalsbasis voor excursies naar de nabijgelegen Maya-ruïnes. Hiertoe behoren de oudste Maya-ruïnes van het land; de ruïnes van Cuello, alsook de ruïnes van Lamanai. Ten oosten van Lamanai bevindt zich het beschermde natuurgebied Río Bravo.

For some years now Singapore's TV broadcasting sector has been feeling the impact of convergence. The liberalisation of the media industry in Singapore was triggered in 2000 when the then Ministry of Information and the Arts announced that broadcasting operators could 'look at' the telecommunications sector and telecommunications companies could 'look at' the broadcasting sector. A new regulator for the sector, the Media Development Authority, was duly put in place. Whilst the media sector was initially slow to respond, it did finally take off and there has been substantial development over the last decade. The phenomenon of convergence eventually took hold and, although it has not exactly taken the expected path, it has given the sector a fresh boost. This report looks at the changes in the digital media market and the impact on the major players and customers.

Today is my two-month YOGAversary. Yes, I'm aware of the exact date I began practicing yoga and am celebrating each and every second, minute, hour, month–everyday should be a celebration of something, right?
But heed my warning: Yoga is a powerful force that you may want to avoid at all costs. I was not aware of the spell it would cast over every aspect of my being. I am writing this to save you! BEWARE!!!
If you were to look up "Kristen" in a thesaurus, you'd probably find the first synonym "vino lover." However, since I've begun the practice of yoga just about a month ago, I've experienced profound internal changes–I would honestly call them near religious experiences. In my stillness, I am able to process the deepest of emotions–grief, regret, loss, trauma and despair. Yes, I've cried on my mat. I've been able to release these pains from my past and let go of all that does not serve me. I feel grounded, balanced, present, vibrant, alive, awake, full of hope and inner peace–more than I've felt in decades and it's absolutely divine.

Brazilian group CSN takes stake in Australia's Riversdale Mining
Sao Paulo, Brazil, 25 Nov – Brazilian company Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN) said Tuesday it planned to take a stake in Australia's Riversdale Mining, which is involved in some of the main investment projects in Mozambique.
The board of the Brazilian company approved the purchase of up to 1.3 percent of Riversdale, which is expected to cost an estimated 190.5 million Australian dollars (US$75.2 million).
Riversdale has important energy and coal mining projects underway in South Africa and Mozambique.
In September the government of Mozambique signed a deal with mining company Riversdale to study the installation of the Benga Thermal Power Plant in Tete province, with initial investment of US$1.3 billion.
The agreement is for Riversdale to start the feasibility study for the construction of a thermoelectric power plant with initial production capacity of 500 MW, but with a view to increasing that amount to 2,000 megawatts in 2014.
The Benga coal project was approved by the government in April, implying an initial investment of around US$270 million, to be provided by a consortium headed up by Riversdale (65 percent of the capital), which also includes India's Tata Steel (35 percent). (macauhub)

The cruise sailed through Glacier Bay. It was spectacular.
It was a little crowded to get a good photo in some places without a window in front of the camera though.
Eventually, I found a non-crowded spot.
The next day, we visited an even bigger glacier called Hubbard Glacier. 200 metres high, 10 kms across at the base.

Today is a scenic train ride from a town called Skagway.
Many moons ago, someone found gold nearby. So lots of people came in search of it. They arrived at Skagway and discovered that the gold was 600 miles away. The first 60 or so miles was a treacherous hike, then they had to fashion their own boats to float the remaining distance down a river.
Eventually, they built a railway. That's what Ada and I went on. Very pretty scenery.
Another smallish town was Juneau, the capital of Alaska. You know it's small, when a local gives you directions that include "next to the stop light".
An unusual practise in this town is that if a set of stairs has 100 or more steps, then the government has to maintain it as a street. I guess someone on the local council must have had a big staircase in the past.
The outing for the day was a river float next to Mendenhall glacier, in a glacial (and very cold) lake, followed by a ride down some Rapids. It is such a beautiful part of the world. Even though is was raining a lot. The good thing about the rain was that it was a lot warmer than the actual glacial river water that was a balmy 2 degrees Celsius.
By the end, the kids were very cold.

Ketchikan is a small and beautiful town that fishes salmon. It's a beautiful island. The whole area is a temperate rainforest.
We roamed the town a little before I went sea kayaking with the older 2 kids. Most of the town is built on landfill over the water, which is easier than building on the hills. The main road through town is called "The Road". The bus that travels this road is naturally called "The Bus".
Shari took Ada on a duck bus, which meant I could could take the older kids on sea kayaks! Sea Kayaking was awesome. I've always liked kayaks, and here we travelled in some gorgeous scenery and saw sea lions, seals, and bald eagles in the wild.
When the guides offered spray skirts to keep us dry, most people refused. The kids thought they would make me look silly, so they demanded they I use one so they could giggle at my expense. By the end, when I was mostly dry and both kids were wet and cold, they wished they had one too. Silliness wins again.
I've always been hesitant about cruises. Like most people, I thought they were the domain of old people. As it happens, they are also the domain of families. Shari has always wanted to go on a cruise, so we are on a cruise up the west coast of Alaska, through the Inside Passage.
We boarded the Norwegian Sun in Vancouver. Immediately, I discovered my favourite bit of the cruise; the view.
The first day was sailing, and a good opportunity to find our way around the boat. The kids found the pool in about 5 minutes. There's several restaurants and bars, so when a cover band starts playing something I'm not fond of, we can move somewhere else.
The room is small, but most of time, we are sitting somewhere nice with an amazing view.

Not until we visited a playground on the last day, did we find a labyrinth in Toronto. It was painted on this mysterious concrete circle.
It turns out that the council fills the concrete circle with water every day. Then someone dons a scary protective suit so they can put chlorine in the water. Then kids play in the water.

Bank of America to Lay Off Its Own 1 Percent
Bank of America's plans to trim its workforce are nothing new, but the surprising thing about Tuesday's news of 2,000 layoffs in addition to the 30,000 the bank already announced is who the new cuts target: The bank's own top 1 percent of workers.
Bank of America's plans to trim its workforce are nothing new, but the surprising thing about Tuesday's news of 2,000 layoffs in addition to the 30,000 the bank already announced is who the new cuts target: The bank's own top 1 percent of workers. Coming on a day of populist protests that Occupy Wall Street sees as its resurgence, that's pretty deliciously ironic.
The cuts come in the "investment banking, commercial banking and non-U.S. wealth-management units," The Wall Street Journal's Dan Fitzpatrick and Dana Cimilluca report. They target "the high-earning employees whose efforts helped Merrill Lynch account for the bulk of Bank of America's profit since the financial crisis." Actually, the 2,000 workers account for just 0.7 percent of the bank's 278,000 workers, but they're a very expensive 0.7 percent.
As the Journal's Fitzpatrick and Cimilluca note, the bank is desperate to show investors it can curb expenses. It's reorganizing itself to what sounds like a sort of zone defense, where investment bankers can be more flexible and less industry-specific: "One structural shift being planned will pool junior investment-banking employees across different industry sectors so the younger bankers can be routed to whatever area is most in demand at that moment, said people familiar with the situation." That translates to fewer high-paid people handling investments in a way the bank hopes will keep dollars rolling in with fewer bonus checks rolling out.


Join us on Wednesday, September 27, 7:30pm for Program 6 of the Unseen Festival: Quietness: Contemplated / Loudness: Personified.

I would not have thought that a historical novel could work in first person, but Mantel pulls it off. This book is beautifully written. Apart from the compelling story, it is wonderful to discover passage after passage, on nearly every page, written in intricate, poetical, yet accessible prose.
The main character is Thomas Cromwell, and Mantel creates of him a superhero of sorts. At the same time he is an obviously flawed man with singular gifts who somehow manages to ingratiate himself to King Henry of England. Henry wants to be rid of his wife Elizabeth, who has not given him a male heir, and marry Anne Boleyn. To bring this about, Cromwell has to help Henry orchestrate a break from the Pope's authority and the establishment of the Church of England.
The story is gripping from the very first passage, when young Cromwell is severely beaten by his father and decides to leave home. He spends several years overseas before returning to England and becoming a lawyer. He first serves the powerful Cardinal Wolsey, and when Wolsey falls into disfavor Henry, recognizing Cromwell's talents, takes him into his confidence and gives him more and more responsibility.
Wolf Hall has a large cast of characters, and I admit that I was unable to keep some of the secondary ones clear as I read. There were just too many. Some of the characters in Henry's court are very similar to one another, and I found it easy to follow the main story even as minor characters became blurred caricatures in my awareness.
One character, in fact the main character apart from Cromwell, is not even human. It is England itself: the countryside, the weather, the flora and fauna. Mantel's writing becomes exquisitely beautiful when she describes changes of seasons, glimpses of landscape beyond windows, rooms seen in flickering firelight, muddy roads, meandering rivers, rain and snow. Her prose has great power to evoke images.
It's a long novel. Just as some of the secondary characters become confusing to follow on first reading, so do some of the many scenes, especially in the middle sections of the book. Sometimes it seems that too many things are happening to keep track of. Additionally, sometimes it's hard to keep track of who is saying what in the dialog until you understand that whenever Mantel says "he" instead of naming a character when introducing dialog, by default the speech is Cromwell's.
Despite the occasional confusion with characters, scenes, and dialog, this book is a worthwhile read. If you persevere through the first few hundred pages, the plot begins to manifest more clearly. And even if you miss some of the details, you are swept along in a superbly written account of a fascinating era of history. I would say that it is useful to have some sort of inkling of the historical story before commencing the novel; it will make much more sense. However, regardless of your historical expertise, you can enjoy this well-written book on its own merits as a novel.

EEOC Judge Recommends Army Pay $300,000 to Sexually Harassed Employee
Feminist Majority Foundation Blog | February 5, 1997
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative judge Ann Holler has recommended that the Army pay $300,000 in damages plus medical and legal costs to a former employee of Fort Bliss who alleges that an Army Colonel harassed her. Peggy Graham has alleged that Colonel Allen Hasbrouck forced her to submit to sexual acts over a six year span starting in 1988. Hasbrouck told her she would lose her job if she did not comply. The Army, which had conducted its own internal investigation, sent the Colonel a letter of reprimand and an order for early retirement. The Army maintains it is not liable for damages because Graham entered into the relationship "voluntarily" and did not follow established internal procedures to make her complaint.
The Washington Post - February 5, 1997


Former State Secretary Rex Tillerson presented parts of his version of what went wrong with his relationship with President Donald Trump saying that he and the president did not have a shared value system and describes scenarios where he had to limit Trump's impulses because "it's against the law".
Tillerson, fired in March, made his first public appearance for months at a Houston fundraiser on Thursday. He sat for an interview with CBS News veteran Bob Schieffer at the event and discussed his time at the state department under Trump.
Tillerson said he had never met Trump "until the day he asked me to be State Secretary" and described his impression of the president.
Schieffer replied:" It's very interesting "and the audience laughed.
Tillerson did not reveal what aspects he thought Trump was trying to violate.
Rex Tillerson was perhaps an adult in the room. But he also hurted much government department.
Tillerson would be one of the "adults in space" who guided and tempered the volatile trump, just like defense secretary Jim Mattis or now-forming National Security Advisor HR McMaster and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn.
Before Trump fired him, the couple often collided – Tillerson argued that the president would stay in the climate agreement in Paris and drive him to certify Iranian compliance with Iran's nuclear agreement. And Trump was not shy about making his disagreements at times.
Under Tillerson's clock, 60 percent of the state's top ranked career diplomats resigned and new applications for joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fell by half, according to a US foreign association for November.
This rental of the foreign service, combined with Tillerson's inability to appoint people to important places as ambassador in South Korea, delayed US response to major crises and weakened the state department of a "generation" according to George Washington University's Elizabeth Saunders.
It is not clear if Tillerson's Thursday appearance is a single shot or marks a step back to public life where we will hear more about his time in the Trump administration. His remarks were relatively temperate, but it is clear that there is not a lot of love loss between Tillerson and Trump – he was still fired via tweet.

The planning of child-friendly urban spaces is a highly relevant interdisciplinary challenge for anyone involved in creating the city of the future, whether from a spatial, pedagogical or social perspective. More than ever, the involvement of children and teens in these processes is regarded as condition to attain a liveable and sustainable urban environment. To recognize these young people as valuable co-researchers and –planners demands an openness that is not always obvious. This publication was developed in the context of a research project by School of Arts and Faculty of Education, Health and Social Work researchers and combines valuable insights with a set of practical tools to facilitate the exercise of children's citizenship in processes for planning and changing urban spaces.

Michael Jolley spoke of his pride after the Clarets Development squad won the Final Third Development League Cup final with victory over Stoke City.
The Clarets, with Liverpool loan signing Jon Flanagan appearing for the first time, won a thrilling final 2-1 with Tinashe Chakwana and Cameron Dummigan grabbing the goals in the second half.
And Jolley felt his players showed real character to defeat tough opponents on their own ground.
The Senior Professional Development Phase Coach said: "I'm really proud of everyone involved.
"I think the players were absolutely first class, against tough opponent here in Stoke City, on their home pitch.
"I was really impressed with how the players went about the task and we played how Burnley want to play; we pressed from our shape, we played good football when we had the ball, then we got our noses in front.
"We got pegged back as Stoke equalised, but we showed great character to kick on again and it was a great winning goal from Cameron."
The first chance of an absorbing final fell to the Potters, as attacker Julienn Ngoy fired off a shot just inside the box, forcing keeper Nick Pope to parry the ball out for a corner.
And form the resulting corner, Thibaud Verlinden was denied by the post.
The first real chance for Burnley came in the 20th minute as Mark Howarth played a delightful pass out wide to Irish full back Daniel Lafferty.
The full back spotted striker Ntumba Massanka in the box and whipped in a great delivery that the striker headed was just wide of Daniel Bachmann's goal.
Minutes later Cameron Dummigan played a through ball to Aiden O'Neill, who followed up with a pass into the box to an unmarked Chakwana, which the youngster fired wide.
It was the Clarets who struck first in the second half, as Massanka intercepted a poor pass back from former Real Madrid midfielder Sergio Melina and laid ball off to Chakwana inside the box, to slot home past Bachmann.
However the Potters were not behind for long and made up for the earlier mistake as Verlinden found Ngoy lurking at the back post, who let it bounce then smashed it past Pope to level matters.
Burnley, though, responded immediately as Pope fired a long ball upfield which Dummigan latched onto, before turning Ryan Sweeney and taking it round Joel Taylor to fire home the winner and spark the celebrations.

Tororo rice growers protest ban on wetland farming
by JOSEPH OMOLLO| PML Daily Correspondent
Rice growers prepare their gardens in Ndaiga wetland along River Malaba Iyolwa section in Tororo district. (PHOTO/Omollo)
TORORO – Rice farmers in Tororo district have vowed to disregard the ultimatum issued to them to vacate wetlands, arguing that, they have no land to cultivate on outside the swamps.
Last week, the officer of the chief administrative officer wrote to all the lower local governments in the district instructing them to summon all individuals who have encroached to cultivate onto wetlands and sensitize them on other alternative activities that they can engage in especially fish farming and tree growing.
Mr. Dunstan Balaba the chief administrative officer on his letter to all heads of lower local government said will not bow to pressure to allow the farmers back into the wetland until they agree to the company with laws to protect it from undue depletion.
''By copy of this letter, you are therefore directed to convene a meeting with all communities who have encroached into to cultivate on wetlands and inform them that they are required to halt further cultivation of the wetlands but for now they are allowed to harvest already planted crops as they prepare to vacate the wetland latest September 30, 2019 and also sensitize them on alternatives activities they can engage in'' part of the letter read.
The National Environmental Management Authority requires that farming should be restricted to no closer than 100 meters away from a wetland. However, this law is consistently abused by people struggling for arable land to plant their crops.
The authorities are said to have acted in respect to the president's recent directive during his state of the nation address where he directed chief administrative officers and sub-county chiefs to hold meetings with all individuals who have encroached into the wetlands and advise them to vacate these areas by September. The president had also threatened to sack any administrator who will fail to implement the directive.
However, a majority of the sub-county chiefs who were delegated duty to implement the directive are facing it rough as farmers have turned hostile against them whereby in some sub-counties, sub-county chiefs have ended up being chased away.
The recent one was on Tuesday at Panoah primary school in Sop Sop sub-county where similar meeting ended up pre-maturely after the charged community under their umbrella Sop Sop development forum chased away the area sub-county chief Mr. David Asangai, insisting that will only vacate the wetlands after the government has shown them alternative sources of survival.
The farmers across the district claim that the directive is part of the government's plan to rob of their land and allocate it to the investors.
They claim that wetlands to them are the only source of survival they have and forcing them out of would be another way of subjecting them to abject poverty.
Mr. James Obbo, a resident of Namwendya Parish Sop Sop Sub County in West Budama North constituency, says it is from these wetlands that they are educating their children, saying such a decision would force their children out of school.
At the heated up meeting, the sub-county GISO Patrick Odoi pleaded before the charged residents who started pelting stones upon the sub-county chief to forgive them because they are just messengers who are also trying to protect their jobs.
Asuman Mukanga one of the rice farmers said it's in history that most of them grew up while their parents were cultivating the same land and so they have inherited it then how comes that government has come to evict them.
''We wish to categorically state that most of us inherited this from our parents and we don't have any other alternative land therefore If government is interested in the land let it look for another land that we can settle in otherwise none of us is willing to surrender the land only piece of land we own'' he said.
He observed that almost 75 per cent of the district wetlands have been degraded rapidly by rice growers, adding that this has led to the disappearance of bird species and vegetation "that the area used to be proud of".
The National Environment Management Authority officer in charge of Tororo district Ms. Evelyn Aol while addressing farmers cultivating on Ndaiga Wetland along River Malaba in Iyolwa sub-county, said this dependence has adverse environmental effects and it is calling for increased protection of the resources.
"The farmers need the money from rice, but to ensure the safety of the coming generations, we ought to protect the swamps now," she said.
She added that the district will demarcate all its wetlands and those who will defy the orders will be arrested and prosecuted.
Ms. Aol explained that the move will also help fight food insecurity, a situation he said is recurring because farmers have abandoned growing food crops and reverted all their attention to rice.
According to the district veterinary officer Tororo Dr. Boniface Obbo, continuous use of the wetlands is likely to usher in the conflict between crop growers and livestock farmers because livestock will have no access to the grazing fields.
"The trend will in time impact negatively on the lives of cattle keepers because they will not be able to access water points or grazing fields in the swamps," he said.
He attributes the increased number of rats in the district to be one of the adverse effects of wetland encroachment where farmers have killed some of the animals that live on rats hence giving them room for rapid growth.
Equally a big number of the sub-county leaders have also opposed the decision to stop communities from using the wetlands arguing that the decision will force those who had been earning from rice farming to engage in criminal acts like stealing to sustain their livelihoods.
Mr. William Nyamboro, the LC3 chairperson of Sop Sop Sub County is one of those who are opposing the decision on grounds recently government under different programmes supplied rice haulers and rice seeds to farmer groups and driving them away would still render the inputs idle.
He said most of the groups received the imputs including rice haulers inform of a loan from the Youth Livelihood programme while others under the Uganda Women Enterprise programme of which they have not finalized paying back and he wonders who will pay the loan.
Other effects.
The district works engineer Patrick Andrew Asaya told this newspaper that the effects of wetland encroachment have also impacted negatively to the roads as the farmers sometimes block streams in an attempt to divert water to their rice gardens and sometimes this has been the major cause of eroding of bridges

Number of furloughed workers falls as domestic tourism recovers
Taipei, Sept. 8 (CNA) The number of workers on official furlough programs in Taiwan dropped by 3,020 over the past week, in large part due to a tentative recovery in domestic tourism.
Data compiled by the MOL showed the number of workers placed on furlough programs fell to 16,872 as of Sept. 7, down from 19,892 from the last report, while the number of companies with unpaid leave programs dropped by 385, from 2,990 last week to 2,605 this week.
Speaking with CNA, Wang Chin-jung (王金蓉), deputy head of the MOL's Labor Conditions and Equal Employment Division, said the lodging and food & beverage sector registered the largest improvement.
The number of businesses in the sector still implementing furlough programs decreased by 142, from 325 companies documented last week, to 183, Wang said.
A total of 1,719 individuals in the sector are still on furlough, which is 1,907 fewer than the 3,626 listed last week. The figures also indicated that the sector has improved for six consecutive weeks since Aug. 1.
The continued recovery of the industry is likely due to the summer break, people taking domestic vacations and the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wang added.
Meanwhile, the number of furloughed workers in retail and wholesale businesses, as well as the transportation and warehousing sector and support service sector, which is made up largely of travel agencies, also fell by around 300 each, Wang said.
Although the number of companies implementing furloughed leave in the manufacturing sector decreased by nine from 181 last week to 172 this week, the number of furloughed workers actually increased by 168, raising the number from 2,299 last week to 2,467, Wang noted.
The increase in the number of furloughed workers was due to an electronics hardware company furloughing 40 employees and a carpentry business adding 100 workers to a furlough program, she said.

I am a Senior Researcher in the Information and Data Sciences group at Microsoft Research AI, Redmond. My primary research expertise is in the area of Attention Management for Multitasking Domains. My work is motivated by the vision of transforming the field of productivity research in response to the changing technology landscape with an eye towards making people happy and satisfied with the process and the outcome. Currently I am focusing on how productivity is defined in the new era of multitasking and distraction, introducing novel ways of being productive and determining metrics for evaluating productivity. More specifically, I develop experiences and technology that helps people maintain focus when needed, but at the same time introduce new concepts of getting things done in limited focus environments.
I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2008. I received a Masters in Computer Science from the same university in 2005 and a Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2001.
Waiting for a delayed meeting to start? Wish you could fill that time with something useful? A team of Microsoft researchers is exploring the concept of using these "micromoments" during the day to help people free up time at the end of it.
The new Timeline feature is essentially a way for people to better locate specific files, photos, or videos on their PCs.
Notifications are both one of the most revolutionary inventions of the mobile age, and one of the most hated features on our devices. Focus Assist helps with that: You can set times when you don't want notifications to bother you, such as during key work hours or when you plug in a second display for a presentation or when you're playing a game. During those periods, Windows will keep alerts at bay.
The latest update to Windows tackles productivity in several useful, if not earth-shattering or always original ways. A new Timeline, for example, promises to make it easy for you to find stuff you've been working on within the past 30 days without slogging through file folders or emails. It doesn't matter if that prior work took place on a Windows 10 PC, or through the Microsoft Edge browser or Office 365 on another computer, or even on an iOS or Android device. Meantime, a new Focus Assist feature is meant to help you do just that, by turning off social media updates or other distracting notifications so you can squarely focus on the job at hand.
My primary interest is in helping humans improve productivity in environments where many demands on their attention present conflicting challenges. I am currently working on addressing multitasking problems in domains where people have to divide attention among many tasks and maintain performance at the same time.
I am also interested in technology for task management in mobile scenarios, HCI and health care, and ICT4D.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2008, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, supervised by Professor Brian Bailey. I earned a Masters degree in Computer Science from the same institution in 2005 and a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2001.


The Australian Technology Park Exhibition Hall boasts 6,000m2 of industrial heritage space. Innovative jumped at the opportunity to work with DIRECTIONS and assist with converting this massive space into an Australian Journey themed venue for 150 people. Guests were attending the Welcome Dinner of the AEE Tradeshow which was held at Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre the following two days.
The crew who made this happen included Jeremy Koch, Nathan Jones, Nathan Barnier and Andrew Mammoliti.
Innovative were able to make their debut as trade stand attendees thanks to Directions and the AEE. What was even better was that the Welcome Dinner photos were the main attraction of our stand – for two days, many passers‐by would stop to take a look at these shots.

Alleged Sears robber is in custody
December 25, 2015 Anna Thibodeaux Crime, News 0
A Kenner man's theft crime spree to support an apparent heroin habit allegedly spread to St. Charles Parish where he is a suspect in a robbery at Sears in Luling.
Kenner Police spokesman Sgt. Brian McGregor said Jeffery Rudolph, 43, of 4836 Zenith St., was recently arrested by Kenner Police and will be transferred to St. Charles Parish.Capt. Pat Yoes, St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman, said Rudolph faces a charge of theft of goods under $500 and second-degree battery.
At 9 a.m. Nov. 19, Sears surveillance cameras showed a man, later identified as Rudolph, in a black shirt and tan shorts walk into the Sears on U.S. Highway 90 and walk out with two Craftsman tool kits valued at nearly $500. The suspect put the tool kits in the back of a tan or beige Chevrolet Silverado truck and fled.
St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne posted the video on CrimeStoppers and asked for help to identify the man.McGregor said Rudolph has a long list of prior theft charges.
In December of last year, Rudolph was charged with theft of jewelry and others items from Jefferson Parish stores and then rearrested on Jan. 11 at Target when store security caught him trying to take a coffee maker and a Ninja blender.
McGregor said store security recognized Rudolph from previous thefts from the store.
Rudolph was accused of these thefts while he was on bond on six counts of theft from Dec. 21 and Dec. 23 arrests, according to arrest and court records.
McGregor said when they interviewed him that Rudolph told them he was stealing to support his heroin addiction.Rudolph's known priors date back to November of 2013 when Kenner Police arrested him for allegedly stealing a pair of wedding rings valued at $3,000 at Esplanade Mall.
McGregor said once the rings were in his hands, he reportedly announced he was running out and taking them – and he did.
The store clerk picked his face out of a photo line-up. McGregor said they arrested him on Dec. 21 and he confessed to stealing the jewelry. This arrest resulted in five counts of theft charges and him being held on $5,000 bond.

It seems like the majority of people are addicted to their phones, and the more apps they have the better. However, something remarkable happened when I removed apps from my phone that I didn't need. Remarkable enough to share with you!
Most of the apps I on my phone where on there due to being what other people recommended or consistently wanting to "stay in the know" regardless of where I was.
While I know the amount of apps I had is nothing compared to other people, this is not a comparison game.
It is about the access to these things that deprive us of so much we don't realize, because we don't take the time to look up and smell the roses.
Since removing these apps from my phone, I remember what life was like before smartphones existed. I still cannot believe that only 10 years ago the majority of people didn't even have smartphones.
During my 30 Day Minimalist Decluttering Challenge, I removed apps from my phone that I wasn't using, and it felt amazing!
I consolidated my remaining apps into categories such as, Be Social, $$$, Save $$$, and Apps! [the apps you are required to have and cannot remove]. Leaving me with a total of 15 icons on my home screen.
I remember feeling so accomplished by being able to reduce my icons with removing an entire row of icons! However, I still felt trapped with my phone.
Constantly checking to see if someone liked my Instagram photo, if there was a comment on my blog, or if there were any important emails I needed to check.
I simplified my phone to get space from my phone, to remove the anxiety about checking it all of the time. So this past week, I simplified my phone even more, by removing my email app and relocated a few apps!
I was so nervous to make this change, because of my blog; but I made the change anyways. So what does my phone look like now?
I removed my Outlook App altogether. It had my personal and blog email set up and it was too much for me to always check.
I relocated my Safari and Pandora Apps, and removed 5 apps from my Be Social! icon: Bloglovin, Goodreads, Layouts (by Instagram), WordPress, and Twitter. None of these brought anything to the table, as far as for accessing from my phone.
Also, I removed 3 apps from my Save $$$: Shopkick, SavingStar, and Swagbucks. I did not use these apps to their full potential, and they were only taking up space.
I also decided to give my group apps icons instead of words, and have only my Phone App at the bottom; because [to me] it simplifies my phone that much more.
So what happened when I removed apps from my phone I didn't need?
A result to not having as much to check, I have not checked my phone as often. I do not have notifications going off, unless for phone calls or text messages.
There is less interruption during my day, and a peace of mind that comes with it.
I used to have my phone on me at all times. However, since removing these apps that created that need to have my phone, I have found myself leaving it by my bed for most of the day on the weekends, or in my purse while at work.
I usually only have my phone in front of me if I am needing it to talk, text, take pictures, or occasionally check up on Instagram.
Ten years ago, I had a Motorola Razor [best phone ever invented!]. I did not have internet and I certainly did not have a quality camera on that phone. So why have I felt these things are a necessity now? Well, it isn't!
Yes, I really enjoy sharing my pictures on Instagram and Facebook, and I do not plan on changing to a phone without internet. It is a privilege that I chose to have!
If something happens on one of my social media accounts, I do not have to respond immediately. It will be there when I have the allotted time. Plus, the person that commented on something does not expect me to reply immediately.
Sure there are times when it is convenient to reply right away, but more times than not, it can wait! My rule of thumb is to respond within 24 hours when it is social media, and hopefully no more than 2 days when it pertains to my blog.
I try my best not to have my phone in between a conversation with a real person. It takes away from the present moment when trying to multitask the two.
It is also inconsiderate of the person or people in front of you who care about you enough to crave your full attention. I will be honest and say sometimes I am not successful, but it is something I have worked very hard to change.
So far, I really enjoy not having something to distract me when I am accompanied by someone.
Do you struggle with any of this? What would happen if you removed the apps that distracted your everyday life?
I challenge you to see how far you can go with simplifying your phone! Let me know in the comments what you think you can remove, and if you already removed the apps that distract you, how do you like it?
Previous Post What Happens When You Stop Reorganizing Clutter!
I don't really have many phone apps, and only got a smart phone 1.5 years ago, can you believe it?? I can see how minimizing your phone could make a HUGE impact on your daily life though.
Sometimes I wish I did not have a smart phone, but I love taking pictures and sharing them with friends on Instagram and Facebook. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment, Lindsay!
I really want to take my email off on my phone but I have no other way of getting my work emails when I'm at home.. Which wouldn't be a problem for most people but I work from home a lot! For now I've settled for reducing how often my email pushes through.
I completely understand that Nellwyn! I would love to remove Pinterest and YouTube from my phone, but I use them a lot for recipes and how tos when it is not convenient to use my laptop.
Erin…such wisdom! I really need to do this, also. It's so true that most things can wait. It's easy to get addicted to the apps, especially when you have a blog. And the buzz is like a mini-high–lol! I'm lame like that.
Georgiana, that is not lame at all! I am the same way, and that is why I removed so much over the course of several months. I want to focus living in the present more and living life to the fullest. For me, that means less time on my phone and scheduling out my day better.
Such a great post. When I got my current phone I decided I wouldn't be uploading a bunch of apps and it not only is less stressful but saves space on your phone.
I agree so much with that, Dia! I love taking pictures with my phone, so the less apps means more space for photos. I do transfer them to my computer often to avoid low storage space on my phone. I also love the simplicity of my phone now. It is not alarming to look at it compared to when I had several screens of apps.
Thank you, Kim! I agree with what you are saying! Living in the present is so important, and for some reason, so difficult to do now days. Thinking of the generation growing up with advanced technology scares me, because they will not understand that as much as we do. For me, I am learning technology is a tool, not another limb on my body.
I love this. I actually haven't had the Facebook app on my phone for awhile now, I think since I got my new phone almost 2 years ago. The constant updates and chimes were just too much. I just open Facebook in my web browser when I want to check something.
Do you not love it that way?! I love not having to have multiple apps for the same social media, and I do not miss having them! I also like it when I log out of Facebook, because I have it set up as a two part system to log back in so that I am conscious about using it. I can easily become addicted to scrolling through Facebook!
I love this so much Erin! a. I didn't know you could group apps- very cool! and b. I completely agree with you times have changed so much. I remember the old school days of myspace and only being able to check things once a day (if that) and for maybe 1-2 hours max and that was it. Somehow I wish it were simpler times like that still where society wasn't always so connected. I've been trying really hard to put the phone down when I'm at home and not treat it as a body part either. Great tips and advice!
I'm so glad I was able to teach you something new, Cara! I did not know about it until I read a similar post. I am so thankful for being able to group apps, too! Those were the good old days! I have been working on leaving my phone inside when I go out to check on my farm animals and work in the garden. So far, it has paid off, and no dire situations have come up while doing this. I wish there was a way to turn off the internet to my phone at certain points in the day and only have calls and texts. That would definitely be a blessing!
That's my situation to a 'T' Crystal! I think I have finally gotten down to the apps I need or can't delete, but we shall see. A month from now I may decide otherwise.
Good idea Erin! I don't have a smart phone, but I have an iPad that we use for all kinds of things. Sometimes I find myself checking it way too often and get sick of it.
Thank you, Christine! I have thought about not having a smart phone, but regular phones don't have the greatest camera. For that reason and to have SnapChat to talk with my cousins is why I have a smart phone.
This seems like such a great idea but I think I would have trouble doing it at the same time.
Sylvia, it was definitely hard to commit to doing the first time, but since then, I have loved being able to tell what was only taking up space on my phone and what I actually use. Also, removing distractions has helped incredibly in my day to day routine. I dare you to give it a try for at least a week! The worst thing that could happen is you revert back to how it was!

APC Microbiome partners ImmuCell to foster development of antibiotic alternatives for the dairy industry
IRELAND — APC Microbiome Ireland, a world leader in microbiome research has partnered with animal health company animal health company to advance research in antibiotics alternatives.
According to APC, overuse of antibiotics in the food chain is a critical issue for human health due to the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria or "superbugs", causing potentially untreatable life-threatening infections in people.
To minimize the risks, regulators worldwide are restricting the use of antibiotics in animals used in food production.
To address the challenge of overuse of antibiotics and still ensure dairy productivity is boosted, the two institutions have said that they will partner to produce scientifically-proven and practical products that improve the health and productivity of the dairy and beef cattle.
"APC Microbiome Ireland is delighted to be embarking on this exciting project with the knowledge-based company Immucell that will see the development of natural antimicrobials (bacteriocins) for the treatment and prevention of mastitis – the most persistent disease of dairy cows."
Professor Paul Ross- Lead Project scientist
The collaborative research project, led by Dr. Des Field and Professor Paul Ross in the APC, will see ImmuCell Corporation benefit from APC's capabilities and IP relevant to animal health, built-up (in collaboration with Teagasc) over many years.
These include patented microbiome-derived solutions for bovine mastitis and know-how of bioengineering antimicrobial peptides for increased efficacy.
Through the collaboration, ImmuCell's proprietary Nisin production strain will be developed using APC technology to enhance its production and activity in targeted ways, as a second-generation mastitis product.
Bovine mastitis is an infection that occurs in dairy cattle, where inflammation of the mammary gland and udder can damage milk-secreting tissues.
It is regarded as one of the most economically damaging diseases in the dairy industry globally, and its prevalence is rising across the world.
Commenting on the partnership, Professor Ross, APC Director said: "There is an urgent need for alternatives to antibiotics, particularly in the field of animal healthcare where there is a major dependence."
On his part, Michael F. Brigham, President and CEO of Immucell said; "We are thankful to enter into this forward-looking collaboration with APC, as we work to complete the FDA regulatory development process for Re-Tain and approach market launch".

Great post, I definitely fall into the category of needing a little sunshine as a wife and mom. Encouraging read, thanks!
No thank u!! Big hugs!
Nominated you for the Liebster Award! This post will be linked so you can see it.
Great post. I will repay your sunshine by paying it forward to someone else, in the hopes that it continues to grow.
Karrie, you are so right, and what a great idea to pay it forward.
We all need to think about that, it's people like you that make this world a better place by spreading sunshine instead of hatred.
God knows we have enough of hate. We all need to learn to appreciate each other and help each other, and learn from each other.
This is awesome! Thank you for this cause you are correct we all need a little sunshine sometime.
Awww thank you so much!!!!!! Happy Friday and I hope you have a great weekend!
We sure do, I believe sunshine is a state of mind. It can be freezing outside, which it is at this moment. But if we have positive vibes, all that doom and gloom can melt away with our sunshine stare of mind.
We need to always put a smile on our face, and who knows, we might even get a few smiles back? One smile on someone else's face would be worth many smiles on our own.
This was SO NEEDED today! I had such a bad day and I just felt like a total failure! Thank you for being so uplifting!
Ditto Britt, we are not failures, we get up in the morning and do what we have to do to survive. Sometimes we don't want to get up, but we do, because we are strong. We can shove our challenges aside, put on a smile, and spread the sunshine, even when we don't feel like doing so.
But that's what this blog is for, venting, and working through the thought times with each other.
What made you feel like a failure? I feel bad because you should never feel this way. I know you have a lot to contribute and give.
I know sometimes life is very difficult and not easy, but I feel that's what spreading a little sunshine is for. This blog allows us to vent, get it all out, and in turn, we can help each other through these difficult times.
I really would like to know how your day was. Please share, it might help someone else.
Your very welcome! Super sweet of you!!! Big hugs back!!!!

This is so beautiful and uplifting! We all need sunshine in our life!! ❤ thank you so much for this!
Thank u 🙂 you just made me smile! Your so right! This is why I created this blog! So thank you!!!!!

US Oil Exports Hit New Record In April, Census Data Says
U.S. crude exports surged to a record 1.76 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in April from 1.67 million bbl/d in March thanks to the rising discount for U.S. crude vs. the global benchmark, foreign trade data from the U.S. Census Bureau showed on June 6.
Most of the increase came from Italy and the Netherlands, which received 248,000 bbl/d and 104,000 bbl/d, respectively.
The total export figure was the highest on record since at least 1920, according to U.S. government data.

In contrast to last year, when almost all types of investments moved up together, this year has brought more volatility and a wider difference in performance. These are times when it becomes even more important to remain fully diversified, to participate in areas of the market that are doing well, and avoid holding too much of things that aren't. In this most recent quarter, our portfolios benefitted from having a large portion allocated to US stocks (which were up) and limited exposure to emerging markets stocks (which were down).
US stocks advanced in Q2, with a positive earnings momentum, and supportive economic data ultimately outshining the escalating US-China trade posturing. Consumer confidence remained strong and retail sales data suggested a rebound in consumption from a softer Q1. The unemployment rate also reached an 18-year low of 3.8%, as the labor market continues to improve.
After a strong 2017, international stocks took a back seat to stocks in the US, due in part to a stronger US dollar. Escalation in global trade tensions also contributed to risk aversion as US-China trade talks failed to deliver a sustainable agreement. Meanwhile, the US moved to extend steel and aluminum tariffs to the EU, Canada, and Mexico, resulting in the announcement of retaliatory measures.
Real estate started the year on a down note, due to concerns over rising interest rates, but has since recovered to finish as the best performing category during the quarter.
In bond markets, US 10-year Treasury yields rose significantly in April (prices fell), and touched a seven-year high in mid-May, before falling later in the quarter as inflation expectations cooled and investors sought safe havens from riskier assets. The Federal Reserve is on track to continue raising interest rates in the near-term as inflation and employment have moved in line with their long-term targets. They will also want to have some "dry powder" the next time a recession rolls around, and these moves put them in position to have a bigger impact when the economy needs another boost down the road.
Overall, there are both tailwinds and headwinds in the economy and markets to be mindful of. The global economy is expanding, but there are signs of slowing growth in some economies. Tax reform has provided a boost to both businesses and individuals in the US, and the labor market is strong. Corporate earnings are solid, but there is concern that growth is peaking. Markets will focus near term on trade tensions between major countries and the upcoming midterm elections, causing some additional day-to-day volatility. We'll continue to emphasize diversification and a long-term mindset, which is especially important in this stage of the market cycle.
Although it's important to understand what drives markets over short periods of time, we continue to maintain a long-term focus with your investments in order to achieve your long-term goals. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to your advisor.
