Virat's trust was important as I could have retired: Yuvraj
Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli
Yuvraj Singh has admitted he did contemplate retirement at one stage after his fight with cancer but it was skipper Virat Kohli's trust that has kept him going which made it important for him to repay that faith.
Yuvraj is once again the toast of the nation with his career-best knock of 150 against England.
"Self-confidence is always there when you have the backing of the team and captain. I think Virat has showed a lot of trust in me and it was very important for me that people in the dressing room trust me," Yuvraj said after India's series clinching win in the second ODI.
"There was a time when I was wondering whether to continue or not to continue. I think a lot of people have helped me throughout this journey. So, never giving up is my theory. So I never gave up, kept working hard. I knew times will change," the 35-year-old said.
His last international hundred came way back in 2011 World Cup in Chennai and no wonder he is happy after his 14th ton.
"It feels great. It's been a while since I got a hundred. I came back after recovering from cancer, the first 2-3 years were very hard. I had to work hard on my fitness and I was in and out of the team. I was not able to get a permanent spot."
Yuvraj returned on the back of a strong performances in Ranji Trophy this season that saw him hit another career-best – 260 against Baroda in October last year.
"I've been batting well in the domestic season. And I've been hitting the ball really well. I wanted to make it big on my day," he said.
His inclusion had mixed reactions with some feeling that selectors were going backwards but nothing affected the stylish left-hander.
"I don't think about who's reacting to what nor do I read newspapers. I don't watch TV too. I try to focus on my game and prove a point to myself that I'm still good enough for international cricket. So I guess I was good today."
For now, the immediate goal is to be consistent in the coming matches.
"Definitely, 150 is a huge score in one-day cricket. It's my highest and taken a long time to get there but I am very happy it happened today. Hopefully, in the coming time I can contribute more consistently."
Yuvraj found his old ally in MS Dhoni who also brought up a century (134 from 122 balls) as they added 256 runs for the fourth wicket.
Asked what were they discussing during the partnership, Yuvraj said:"Nothing much. We two were the most experienced players in the team. He realised that I was getting boundaries. He was just there rotating the strike and our first target to make a 25 runs together then go for 50 partnership. After that we wanted to take it further to 100. I think once that happened we were both set."

As part of The Climate Group's countdown to Climate Week NYC, we discuss the critical role of sub-national action ahead of the global climate talks with Franz Untersteller, Minister of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector for Germany's third largest state, the Government of Baden-Württemberg. The Minister affirms that the state is set to "master this Herculean task" of transitioning to a low carbon future built on renewable energy because there are "huge economic benefits" in doing so.
For the past decade the world has seen Germany as a clear climate leader. Having driven solar power adoption worldwide it is now doing the same for energy storage; a critical area to get right if we are to scale up clean energy effectively.
But German states are where some of the most innovative and revolutionary low carbon action is happening. And leading the way is the State of Baden-Württemberg in South West Germany, a member of The Climate Group and one of Europe's top technology and research hubs.
Building on its strong engineering, automotive and electronics markets – it hosts some of Germany's major manufacturing companies including Bosch and Daimler – the state's green jobs and clean tech markets have flourished in recent years, and today it acts as a model region for the world's low carbon economy.
The German state's climate action efforts are bolder than many. It aims to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by around 25% by 2020 and 90% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels, and has enacted one of Germany's first 'climate protection' bills, which translates goals into legally binding targets and anticipates almost complete decarbonization of Baden-Württemberg's energy sector by 2050.
Emissions from Baden-Württemberg can largely be attributed to its power, transportation and buildings sectors, the first of which is in the middle of a huge transition from dominant nuclear power to almost 100% renewables.
Setting the bar high for other states that wish to follow in its footsteps toward a clean energy future, the government of Baden-Württemberg has firmly adjusted its regional planning law to allow for a more widespread use of wind power in particular, with the aim of upping the portion of wind in its electricity production from 0.8% to 10% by 2020.
As well as being active in The Climate Group's States & Regions Alliance, Baden-Württemberg is also involved with collaborative low carbon initiatives, the Four Motors for Europe, the Cross-Border Upper Rhine Conference and the Internationale Bodenseekonferenz ("International Lake Constance Conference).
But while the economic and efficiency benefits of switching to clean energy make clear common sense, it is the imperative need to tackle rising global temperatures that foremost drove the government to join The Climate Group's States & Regions Alliance.
Minister Untersteller says: "Climate change is a reality. In Baden-Württemberg we have again experienced one of the warmest summers ever recorded. For us there can be only one answer: We must forge ahead with our efforts to mitigate climate change and look for allies all over the world. We can combat climate change effectively only if we act in concert.
But of course national governments also have a big part to play in enabling sub-national governments to achieve their climate targets. Talking about Energiewende in particular, the Minister says: "This radical transformation will succeed only with government support at all levels. Our national government is creating the legal framework in a number of areas, and in Baden-Württemberg we are building on this.
Along with California, which is also a member of our States & Regions Alliance, Baden-Württemberg is the founder and main promoter of the Under 2 MOU, a pioneering agreement to commit to either reducing between 80-95% below 1990 levels by 2050, or achieving a per capita emissions target of less than 2 metric tons by the same date.
Talking more about international climate efforts, the Minister says he expects incremental but important progress to come out of the UN COP21 climate talks in Paris this December, of which sub-national governments have a critical but often overlooked role.
A robust global climate deal needs strong commitments from all nations, yet some national contributions submitted so far have been seen as weak. Other factors also indicate a troubled process ahead, with one example being a recent study which states China's emissions could have been overestimated for more than a decade.
Reflecting on this headline, we asked the Minister why it is so important to disclose clear and verifiable data, even for sub-national governments, which is something the Compact of States and Regions – which the state is signed up to – sets out to achieve.
As a leader of the global low carbon economy then, what advice can the Minister impart for national and other sub-national leaders?


Pixar's suburban superheroes – headed by Mr Incredible (Craig T Nelson) and wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) – are back, 14 years after their Oscar-winning animation debut.
This time, Mr Incredible, alias Bob, is filling the role of stay-at home dad to kids Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile), while Elastigirl, aka Helen, is out saving the world.
Then the whole family has to pull together, with help from old superhero pal Frozone (Samuel L Jackson), when new supervillain Screenslaver appears on the scene, aiming to hypnotise the masses via their screens.
What made the original 2004 film so much fun was that it worked both as an action adventure and a very funny parody, as well as the emotional weight writer-director Brad Bird gave the story with his fond depiction of the typical stresses and strains of ordinary family life.
Happily, he's pulled off a similarly incredible feat here. This sequel wittily tackles changing gender roles at work and in the home, with Helen relishing her dashing crime-fighting role as the public face of a campaign to make superheroes legal, while the befuddled Bob grapples with domestic battles.
Neither is aware of Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers – which get an astonishing workout when he takes on a thieving raccoon in a hilariously escalating battle. Yet possibly even funnier is when diminutive design guru Edna Mode (again voiced by Bird himself) pops up as Jack-Jack's unflappable babysitter.

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare entity in the head and neck region. Clinically it behaves as an aggressive lesion with extensive destruction but considered to be a benign reactive process. Because of its extensive involvement and infiltrative nature, it is confused as a malignancy. Most of them respond very well to corticosteroid and surgical excision.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) are clinicopathologically distinctive but biologically controversial entities, which have been described in the lungs, abdomen, retroperitoneum, and extremities, but rarely affect the head and neck region. [1] It has been described under many appellations including plasma-cell granuloma, plasma-cell pseudotumor, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, inflammatory fibrosarcoma, and most commonly IPT. [2] Exact etiopathogenesis is not known, though it is considered to be an exaggerated inflammatory reaction to tissue injury of unknown cause. [3] Though it has a benign clinical course, it is said that at least a subset of IPTs represents true neoplasia rather than reactive myofibroblastic proliferation. [1]
A 26-yr-old man presented with sensitivity in the upper-right back teeth since 1 year, accompanied by pain in the right side of face, forehead, and palate. Pain was severe, getting aggravated during the nighttime and relieved on medication. Diffuse swelling was evident producing mild midfacial asymmetry. On palpation, it was soft in consistency and tender. Right submandibular lymph nodes were also tender on palpation. On intraoral examination, palatal perforation was seen on the right side. Orthopantamograph revealed haziness of right maxillary sinus. Computed tomography (CT) showed complete opacification of right maxillary sinus with erosion of medial wall and floor [Figure 1]. A provisional diagnosis of aggressive lesion of maxillary sinus was considered.
Figure 1: CT - Para nasal sinuses showing soft tissue growth in the right maxillary sinus with erosion of medial wall and floor
Incisional biopsies revealed fascicles of spindle cells along with chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate predominantly plasma cells and lymphocytes. No fungal organisms were appreciated, both with periodic acid schiff PAS and silver staining. Spindle cells showed positive expression for vimentin [Figure 2] and smooth muscle actin [Figure 3]. These cells were negative for caldesmon and CD-68. The final diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor was confirmed. The lesion responded very well to corticosteroids and decreased in its size enormously. It was surgically excised, and on follow up, there is no recurrence since last 24 months.

Figure 3: Spindle cells showing positive expression to alpha smooth muscle actin
IPT represents a spectrum of myofibroblastic proliferation that includes reactive to benign to malignant lesions. Some lesions are difficult to distinguish from the reactive process, where as others appear sarcomatous. Lesions may show neoplastic features such as persistent local growth, recurrence, and metastasis. Hence, few authors consider it as a low-grade sarcoma. [2],[4]
Histologically it mainly shows spindle cells in fascicles that represents myofibroblasts and inflammatory component which is predominantly lymphocytes and plasma cells. [5],[6] Spindle cells showed positivity to vimentin, alpha-smooth muscle actin and negative to CD-68 (histiocytic), caldesmon (mature smooth muscle cells) proving these spindle cells originating from myofibroblasts.
Most of the IPTs reported in head and neck region showed a benign course. However cases related to paranasal sinuses seems to be showing highly aggressive behaviour, with poor response to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, showing multiple recurrences and fatal outcome. [1],[2] In this case, lesion responded very well to corticosteroids and it was treated with wide surgical excision. The patient is being followed up and since last 24 months, there are no signs of recurrence.
Controversy still exists whether IPT is just a reactive process or a true neoplasia. However, it should be treated as a benign growth, unless it is showing marked destruction, cellular atypia, and frequent recurrences. Because of its unusual clinical and histopathological presentation, immunohistochemistry helps us to come to a definitive diagnosis and careful follow up of these cases are mandatory as its behavior is unpredictable.

State House to drop COVID-19 mask, vaccine requirements for visitors
By Matt Stout Globe Staff,Updated March 4, 2022, 7:44 p.m.
The Massachusetts State House as the sun set in Boston.Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff
Visitors will no longer have to wear masks or show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter the Massachusetts State House on Monday, legislative leaders said, reversing policies they imposed less than two weeks earlier when they reopened the building.
The announcement late Friday by Senate President Karen E. Spilka and House Speaker Ronald Mariano puts the State House in line with other public spaces in Boston and other communities, where officials have relaxed various rules amid a decline in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations.
"While some individuals may choose to continue to wear masks, this will no longer be a requirement but rather an individual's choice based on their preference and level of risk," Spilka and Mariano said in a joint statement.
They also thanked State House staff, park rangers, and State Police who have provided security for the State House "for ensuring the safety of visitors and staff as we look forward to entering this new phase in our reopening to the public."
Legislative leaders reopened the State House to the public on Feb. 22, ending the longest-running closure of a state capitol in the continental United States since the virus first gripped the country in March 2020.
In doing so, they required those age 5 or older to show proof they're vaccinated against COVID-19, or a negative test from within the last day, to access the building. Masks have also been required in all common spaces, including hallways, elevators, restrooms, and event spaces within the building.
But they had teased the mandates could be short-lived. A spokeswoman for Mariano said this week that the rules would be "temporary," and Spilka acknowledged the steep declines in various metrics officials have used to gauge the spread of the virus.
"The data is changing so rapidly," the Ashland Democrat said on Monday.
State Police said Tuesday they had arrested two people outside the State House after they arrived with a group protesting the new rules. They were charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct, among other counts, after a State Police spokesman said they tried to "physically move through" court officers stationed at a makeshift security checkpoint outside the State House.
A roughly hourlong video posted on a Facebook page belonging to someone with the same name as one of those arrested showed a group arguing with state troopers and other security personnel outside the building before a trooper told one man he was "pushing" a pair of court officers.
The trooper then told him to "back up, or you're going to be arrested."
"OK," the man could be heard saying. The trooper then appeared to put him in handcuffs.
One of those arrested had spoken to the Globe last month after she posted videos of herself with another woman in a room at the Boston Public Library's Hyde Park branch, telling security officers that they wouldn't wear masks.
But outside the arrests, the building has sat largely quiet since last week, with some offices not immediately opening to visitors and many staff, who would normally be tucked into tight office space, working on a hybrid schedule.
The State House's rules are not the only ones being relaxed. The Boston Public Health Commission voted this week to end the indoor mask mandate for businesses and other venues starting Saturday. The unanimous vote came less than two weeks after Mayor Michelle Wu ended the city's proof-of-vaccination requirement for indoor dining, gyms, and entertainment venues.
Massachusetts also lifted its statewide mask mandate in schools, with dozens of districts across the state shifting to be "mask-optional."

Managed Services – The Secret Sauce For A Successful Managed Services Business
April 25, 2022 MarionBusiness
Change is a part of a humans' existence therefore, it is unavoidable and undying. This idea is interrelated and insensitive to modern occurrences within the wider welfare institutions within the UK's fitness and social care sectors specifically. At gift, health and social services are yet again undergoing a painstaking restructuring this is growing mental and bodily stresses to the entire workforce and purchasers. This trajectory is constructing unsure destiny because of non-stop re-agencies, trade of emphasis and redirections of care transport to the general public. Ironically, people aren't sure in which their destiny and loyalty lies as modifications within the machine is triggering super concerns to all concerned.
On mirrored image, fitness and social services reloj marcador de asistencia went through a massive conscientious exchange in Nineties (The NHS and Community Care Act), that reconfigured the welfare structures to what many practitioners and bosses notion would be a modern-day established order. However, the New Labour government in 1997 to 2010 modified the possibility and redesigned it to new tactics which include personalization of services (Direct bills, Cash for Care and Personal Budgets) that converted services transport within the sectors. Change could make or damage group of workers dedication, maximization of services, profitability or business disputes among the control and personnel, this attributable to mishaps inside industrial relations' policies and protocols.
Changing organizational cultures in addition to philosophy and worker's phrases of reference requires powerful governance and scrutiny with a view to make sure fitness and social care reforms work for the advantages of all. The key to making the reforms work as planned might be to guard effective analysis of all new policy directives and systems. It is now questionable whether the "New Ways of Working" is capable of converting the fabric and structures of the welfare offerings within the UK. The essential issues of the overhauls are to reduce prices/budgets, staffing and enhancing high-quality and standards of services.
Decision making in some departments or offerings are proving to be irrational due to the fact charges are escalating, requirements declining and waiting lists for evaluation growing throughout many social services departments. Most great newspapers affirm that the coalition may have completed the whole lot they could to begin implementing health and social care changes before being nicely tested. But, without careful considerations and desirable governance the plans might be an unmitigated catastrophe. That however, the rate of restructuring and reallocation of offerings have produced an unsettling ecosystem for most fitness/social care employees and bosses. The authorities' itinerary to preserve with reforms and their failure to allow time for observe or to win the professional's backing for these radical plans have been challenging to the wider network of specialists and the public at huge.
Considering the clamor among practitioners and clinicians, the question is, could the governments' defiant be appeared as democratic or dictetorism? In comparison, it's miles believed that democracy manner "authorities for the human beings and through the people". If that is the case, the coalition would have itself to be blamed for any criticisms concerning their moves. The dismantling of the (PCT) Primary Care Trusts all through the united states within the next two or 3 years could be termed as political vandalism of tax payer's money and top governance.
Similarly, most strategic fitness and neighborhood government government have expressed worries concerning cutbacks on their budget, that could have big ramifications to offerings for older humans and different prone groups such as humans with disabilities and mental health. This has also been extensively highlighted by way of a big percentage of the expert bodies including the Nursing and Midwifery Council, British Medical Association and BBC 2 News Night mainly. The criticisms of the authorities is now without seasoning because health and social care organizations needs to double their predicted cuts on the way to remain afloat.

Context. Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks are widely used in business software applications to interact with database systems. Even if ORMs introduce several benefits when compared to a plain SQL approach, these techniques have known disadvantages.
Goal. In this paper, we present an empirical study that evaluates the energy efficiency of three different approaches to programmatically access SQL databases in PHP applications. The selected approaches are: plain SQL queries in the source code, and two specialized frameworks, Propel and TinyQueries.
Method. We performed an empirical experiment in a controlled environment. We selected three factors for our experimentation: the different ORM approaches, the type of query (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and the size of database tables. Our response variables were execution time and energy consumption.
Results. As expected, pure SQL yielded the best performance and energy efficiency in all test cases. Propel exhibited a much higher energy consumption and longer execution times. The TinyQueries tool performed slightly worse than SQL, but significantly better than Propel, offering a convenient trade--off between ORM benefits and energy efficiency.
Conclusions. Our experiment shows that ORM approaches have a significant impact on both energy consumption and performance. This helps developers and architects when considering the trade-off between their benefits (e.g. in terms of code maintainability and readability) and drawbacks.

Our experiment shows that ORM approaches have a significant impact on both energy consumption and performance. This helps developers and architects when considering the trade-off between their benefits (e.g. in terms of code maintainability and readability) and drawbacks.
AB - Context. Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks are widely used in business software applications to interact with database systems. Even if ORMs introduce several benefits when compared to a plain SQL approach, these techniques have known disadvantages.Goal. In this paper, we present an empirical study that evaluates the energy efficiency of three different approaches to programmatically access SQL databases in PHP applications. The selected approaches are: plain SQL queries in the source code, and two specialized frameworks, Propel and TinyQueries.Method. We performed an empirical experiment in a controlled environment. We selected three factors for our experimentation: the different ORM approaches, the type of query (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and the size of database tables. Our response variables were execution time and energy consumption.Results. As expected, pure SQL yielded the best performance and energy efficiency in all test cases. Propel exhibited a much higher energy consumption and longer execution times. The TinyQueries tool performed slightly worse than SQL, but significantly better than Propel, offering a convenient trade--off between ORM benefits and energy efficiency.Conclusions. Our experiment shows that ORM approaches have a significant impact on both energy consumption and performance. This helps developers and architects when considering the trade-off between their benefits (e.g. in terms of code maintainability and readability) and drawbacks.

Charity concert "NeTramplin Party: "Music Against Torture". How it went
On 1 July, despite all the obstacles created by the city administration, concert "NeTramplin Party: «Music Against Torture», dedicated to the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, took place in Nizhny Novgorod. As we have previously reported, the city administration and the Ministry of the Interior claimed that the event, which was planned at the Grebnoy Canal, would be considered unauthorized. Later, despite the signed contract, in the nick of the time HARAT'S PUB refused also – the owners of the building where the pub rents its premises, strongly opposed the event. As a result, the event took place at "Same old place", the owners of which kindly assisted us to make it happen. We suggest a video report for your attention.
Despite numerous challenges, which the organizers of the festival had to face, in the end they succeeded in conducting it, albeit in a changed format. According to the estimates of the organizers, about two hundred and fifty people were present at the event, which featured the following bands: "Skameika Zapasnykh" (Reserve players bench), «Traysi», «Yawn Hic», «Thunderballs» and «Useless ID».
Authors of the video: Aleksey Novikov and Evgeny Chilikov.
In the framework of the event eighteen and a half thousand rubles for Aleksandr Dmitriyev from Nizhny Novgorod, who suffered from police torture, was gathered. As we have previously reported, after the incident Aleksandr became a disabled of group II and requires permanent treatment.
"Even though several times the city administration tried to disrupt it, we still made it. Quite many people came, who were not taken aback either by a small room or possible problems with the law-enforcement officers. The atmosphere of understanding and unity ruled. I would like to thank everyone who came, it was cozy and fun! And once again I apologize to those whom we failed to timely inform about another change of the concert location" – one of the organizers of the vent, lawyer of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture Albert Kuznetsov says.

Rhodes must fall - and the rest
rhodes.jpg
Over at the privileged cloisters of Oxford University there's a bit of bother over the statue of Cecil Rhodes. On one side are those who want it removed as an icon of racism and oppression, and on the other there are those who are horrified at the suggestion, arguing that its removal will suppress serious and impartial debate on the rights and wrongs of imperialism.
It's not a new scrap. Last year there were calls for Rhodes' statue to be removed from Cape Town University in South Africa, and soon afterwards war veterans in Zimbabwe threatened to remove his remains in solidarity with the students.
In both cases these Southern African states blocked moves to remove Rhodes from visible presence.
The idea that we need statues and graves to discuss imperialism is bizarre. Equally bizarre is the added argument from Oxford that those opposed to the statue are trying to "whitewash" history.
Behind this hullabaloo lies a real class argument.
With the age of capitalism and colonial conquest came a new age of statues. But he who paid the sculptor called the shots, which meant that those men and women who tried to shape a different sort of world had a really tough time getting themselves immortalised.
Tom Paine, the great English revolutionary, got a statue in his hometown of Thetford in 1964, 155 years after his death. Cromwell, to whom so much is owed by today's homespun capitalists, but who unwittingly unleashed radical ideas that are still with us today, had a tougher time. Only in 1899 was he memorialised in stone, 240 years after his death.
Emmeline Pankhurst got her statue only two years after her death in 1928. Hated by the establishment before the First World War, she made amends by supporting the war and mobilising women to support the slaughter.
Cecil Rhodes is interesting because around the same time as Cromwell was cast in stone Cecil was arranging a war. Not content with controlling Kimberley's diamond pipes with Pass Laws favoured by later apartheid regimes; slaughtering thousands of men and women while searching for gold in what is now Zimbabwe; and attempting to unseat the Boer government of the Transvaal Republic and grab their gold for British imperialism, he urged Britain to send in troops, using the so called lack of voting rights of white migrant miners in the Transvaal as a pretext.
The result was the Boer War which, though won, was an utter disaster for British militarism, the beginning of the end of British colonial power. Cecil Rhodes was never forgiven by the establishment. He died in 1902, but not before bequeathing a tidy sum to Oxford University which, like him, still seemed to be stuck in the 19th century.
Statues are monuments to the success of an age, to the success of a body of ideas that defines the age. Zimbabwe's ruling class, like the ANC government in South Africa, have no problem with monuments to Rhodes and what he represented; they pulled up the ladder behind them long ago. They can cover themselves by pleading open historical debate, but they'll always have one eye on friends in high places.
Oxford University points to the generosity of Rhodes in sponsoring scholarships. Yet Oxford still sustains the privilege and hierarchy that produced the racists of Rhodes' ilk. Like David Cameron, George Osborne and Boris Johnson, Rhodes was a member of the Bullingdon Club, notorious for its arrogance and contempt for the lower orders.
Revolutionaries don't care too much about statues and monuments. Like the Bolshevik Lunacharsky, we can disagree with those who want to destroy them as part of some sort of cleansing process in the creation of a new society. Progress doesn't work like that.
The real problem lies in the people and institutions who erect the statues, preserve them, and defend their ideas. Students at Oxford are right to challenge Rhodes' heritage and the way it locks in to current thinking. But without a challenge to the privilege, hierarchy, and reproduction of class society that Oxford represents, any victory they enjoy will quickly evaporate.
•As we went to press Oriel College, Oxford, announced that Rhodes will be staying put.

Stepping into Eimskip's sixth annual Scandinavian Northern Lights Christmas Charity Event at Ocean Gateway in Portland on Dec. 14 was a bit like visiting the Far North – along with more than 400 friends from Maine.
Images of the Northern Lights glowed from behind a Scandinavian buffet from Portland Hunt + Alpine Club featuring cured mackerel toast, pickled shrimp, fennel salad and deviled eggs with smoked trout roe. Starri Valdimarsson, a producer who works with pop artists in Iceland, was the deejay. Raffle tickets were sold for a trip to Iceland. Even the bottled water was Icelandic.
Eimskip, a transportation company headquartered in Iceland and with a U.S. presence on Portland's waterfront, dedicated the proceeds of its sixth annual holiday party to a Commercial Street neighbor: The Telling Room. Altogether, the event raised more than $50,000 in donations and pledges for The Telling Room.
"This is hugely beneficial at this time of year," said program director Nick Whiston, explaining that the nonprofit's primary annual fundraiser, Show & Tell, isn't until April 2. "This helps us keep our after-school programs free. We're incredibly grateful."
"At The Telling Room, we empower youth through writing and share their voices with the world," said Executive Director Celine Kuhn, adding that The Telling Room serves about 4,000 students a year, ages 6 to 18. "Our programs strengthen literacy skills, build confidence and make better communities. And we provide real audiences for kids."
"They get a chance to play around with language and identity," said Anja Hanson, a mentor for Young Writers & Leaders, a free after-school literary arts program for international multilingual high school students.
"We're serving students for whom Portland is a second home, and they're building community through stories," said Shima Kabirigi. "I love the storytelling aspect of students having the tools to be empowered to tell their own stories."

All faculties, universities, and colleges are both for-revenue or non-profit; the distinction is as clear as it sounds. A for-revenue faculty uses charges and tuition to make a profit whereas a non-revenue school reinvests the schooling dollars of a scholar to improve school, amenities, and applications in the campus. Most of the income generated by for-revenue colleges gets returned to shareholders and buyers, leaving solely a small amount of cash for reinvestment within the faculty. Let's know in-detail about non-profit and for-profit schools.
Your Aspen gradebook is just like the paper gradebook that we all used to make use of. It's a private document that only you may see. At the end of each quarter, your student grades and comments should be posted to make them seen to the college and district. Once the class is created you get a link and a code that college students can use to enter your class. I've set up a dummy EdTech class , so be at liberty to affix and check out it out as a student if you want. Just use the code shown in the picture beneath.

Mikael :Initially by attending the official BizTalk course, then by working with gifted folks like and reading blogposts, but most importantly: via a constant attempt for knowledge. My predominant drive is all the time that I need to know extra. To turn into good at it I feel I spent a couple of yr to 18 months.
The doc that CDPH published right now understates the health dangers from long-time period exposure to cell phone radiation as a result of the preponderance of the analysis finds that cellular phone radiation poses a major threat to human health. In February of this yr, the agency argued in a court docket hearing (Moskowitz v. CDPH) that it was afraid of making panic among the many public if the Department have been to disclose the health risks from cellphone radiation publicity. Apple has been a leader in accessibility. Its products embrace superior accessibility features out of the box. Features akin to VoiceOver , Speak Choice, Zoom, AssistiveTouch , and Switch Control give individuals with disabilities equal entry to Apple merchandise at no extra cost. From personal experience I can say that these features are actually life altering and positively impact many people.
