Per analysis executed by Princeton college, it takes merely one-tenth of one minute for someone in order to create the feeling after checking out somebody's face. This article, called "First Impressions" and published in emotional research, additionally reveals that basic feeling doesn't somewhat alter the lengthier the individual investigates the face.
This fact turns out to be particularly terrifying when we're writing about online dating sites. Your photos create a whole lot of the profile, and you also simply have one opportunity to inspire people to swipe proper or contact you. You should not panic, though. We've examined some other researches and put with each other a listing of tips for finding the right online dating sites images to hold your own profile.
1. Post multiple picture But less than 12
We're merely planning to place this available to choose from: should you decide upload only 1 picture, which is merely inactivity. If it just takes one-tenth of an additional for someone to decide what they imagine you, uploading one photo is simply telling all of them that you don't actually value internet dating and don't have any such thing fascinating to fairly share about your self. With regards to genuine figures, eHarmony loves at the least four photographs, and complement loves remaining below 12, which appears like overkill to all of us besides.
2. Mix Up Your Shots (Portrait, Whole System, Action)
We all know wide variety is often known as the spruce of life, in addition to exact same applies to your on line dating pictures. I encourage you post a small number of photos approximately, and choose photos people in numerous poses and engaged in different tasks.
A slew of portraits people undertaking exactly the same thing isn't really attending do you a great deal great.
We'd recommend having a variety of face, full-body, action, dressed up, clothed all the way down, significant, and wacky shots. The overriding point is to provide potential matches a peek into the character, background, and passions.
3. Portray the way you Really Look
One of this biggest oh-no-nos of internet dating is actually sleeping about or exaggerating the way you look and features. Photographs which are above five years outdated must not be anywhere near your own profile â unless you have magical abilities like Reese Witherspoon or Jared Leto and not age. We imagine you would be pretty pissed if for example the day turned up looking different than how the person portrayed by themselves web, thus do not do this to someone else.
4. Create Eye Contact Using Camera (the correct way)
The team at OkCupid evaluated the difference within the amount of monthly connections an individual gotten predicated on whether the person made visual communication in images, and the things they found is extremely interesting.
For your females, OkCupid claims the best thing you could potentially do is create a flirty face while considering the digital camera.
For men, it's looking off the camera and smiling (since it produces an environment of mystery).
On the flip side, the worst thing both men and women could perform is make a flirty face while looking off the digital camera. Trust the science, people!
5. Females Should use Red, Men Should Wear Dark Blue or Black
The shade you use inside major profile photo can have a massive effect on what amount of folks message you, based on mindset Today. For 12 months, researchers through the Université de Bretagne-Sud then followed the web matchmaking encounters of more than two dozen females aged 20 to 30.
After the research, women that used red got a lot more associates from guys compared to those just who used blue, green, yellow, white, or black colored. Indeed, the biggest difference was actually between ladies who wore reddish vs. black colored â 4per cent to 6.1per cent, respectively.
To aid the actual fellas, we considered Hunt greater Online, an on-line network of specialist professional photographers that's improved the profile photos of a large number of local horny singles. In their knowledge, the professionals suggest wearing dark-blue or black (particularly a dress shirt) and steer clear of loud habits (sorry, Hawaiian top).
6. No Blurry/Far Away/Badly Cropped Photos
If you used to be getting your own résumé that included an image online, like on associatedIn, it probably wouldn't be fuzzy, proper? Or miles away? Or cropped strange? You will want to just take that same factor together with your matchmaking profile.
As we've mentioned, uploading images like this can certainly make it seem as you do not proper care, which we're yes is not the case. People are browsing bequeath you with their own explanations, but don't let them have any added ammo. You need each photograph getting razor-sharp, tight, and thoroughly clean.
In addition, we aren't the most significant followers of juicy photographs on dating profiles, although basic facts prove most male on line daters tend to be (go figure). Exactly the same OkCupid research mentioned previously found ladies with photographs revealing cleavage can get more reactions, however they are they the kind of replies they demand? Strike that stability between beautiful and restrained, females.
In contrast, the main points prove the majority of feminine on-line daters dislike juicy photographs. Another study of fit's reports that one-third of females describe shirtless selfies as "downright offensive" and "an almost instant dealbreaker." Plus, significantly more than one-fifth dislike mirror selfies used with a smartphone. It's harsh, but it's the reality.
7. Ladies Should Smile Wide, guys Should Smirk & Show Pride
Also from effects showcased in this eHarmony article, women can be the majority of drawn to men exactly who reveal satisfaction and are the very least drawn to males exactly who show contentment â while guys are a lot of drawn to ladies who reveal joy and minimum attracted to women who show pleasure. The study defined satisfaction as "head tilted up, widened chest area, and arms raised above mind in fists" and happiness as "cheerful broadly."
8. Just Utilize an organization Pic People Can Easily Spot You In
Typically, we tell audience to stay away from team pictures because they ensure it is harder for people to find out which is you (it would pull to own someone come to be interested in the buddy).
If all of your some other pictures are simply of you, subsequently definitely feel liberated to publish certainly both you and your pals or family members. Possibly just upload it afterwards in a few photos after several others.
And also, make sure its an authentic party picture rather than one that seems staged or perhaps is staged. The team at digital Dating Assistants describe that posed class shots will decrease the many messages you receive by 42per cent.
9. Showcase Your animals (If You Have Any)
If you don't have an animal or are not a pet person, it does not indicate your profile is terrible because you do not have a photo with a cute pet. It's not possible to be someone you aren't, thus don't be concerned regarding it. Incorporating even several these guidelines should nonetheless enable you to get much more fortune.
Now, if you do have an animal or are a pet individual, you want to have that across inside profile since it is merely another thing which will help. Just did OkCupid discover pictures with creatures will draw in individuals, even so they're also more likely to create ladies feel safe satisfying one personally, as reported by Lifehacker.
10. Utilize a Professional Photographer
We're big supporters of hiring a professional photographer for those who are dedicated to internet dating and discovering love (and who've the financial ways). A write-up on NBCNews.com states this is exactly one of the recommended how to bring your profile one stage further.
"In many ways, its a lot like an audition," Rhe De Ville, an expert photographer situated in nyc, informed the site. "you can get a stellar profile, however if that photo isn't connecting with people, it would possibly kill the opportunity to meet an appealing individual."
Look much better on the web will find the right professional photographer for you personally.
11. Do not Go Photoshop Crazy
Our merely nervous about utilizing an expert photographer, or if you're one yourself, could be the photographs might look rigid and as well well-done, taking away from realness and credibility you want to exude. Offer the possible professional photographer a mini interview to see how they make use of and/or feel about Photoshop, to see their unique previous work. Should you'll be doing any modifying by yourself, keep it down.
Pictures Are the windowpanes to Your Online Dating Profile!
An online dating sites profile is something that is constantly evolving and can always be improved, and your photos perform a vital role for the reason that. If you have wear them the backburner, it is OK. That's what these guidelines tend to be for. Take advantage of actually a couple of of those, and this one-tenth of the second could be more than sufficient time for a potential match to learn that you're completely worth calling.

[NEW YORK] US stocks barreled higher on Tuesday, propelled by talk of broader monetary stimulus in Europe and a strong Apple earnings report that helped lift the Nasdaq by more than 100 points.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 215.14 points (1.31 per cent) to 16,614.81.
The broad-based S&P 500 rose 37.27 (1.96 per cent) to 1,941.28, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 103.40 (2.40 per cent) to 4,419.48.
Apple, the biggest US company by market capitalisation, rose 2.7 per cent as fourth-quarter profits jumped 13 per cent to US$8.5 billion on strong iPhone sales.
US stocks also gained momentum from speculation that the European Central Bank could widen its bond-buying initiatives to corporate bonds. The chatter lifted France's CAC 40 and other European bourses by more than 2.0 per cent.
The current norm in markets is for big swings in the indices, said Michael James of Wedbush Securities.
"The volatility we've had is only going to perpetuate more volatility," he said.
Besides Apple, James cited strong earnings from Texas Instruments as a catalyst for tech share gains.
The semiconductor manufacturer shot up 5.3 per cent after third-quarter earnings rose 31.3 per cent to US$826 million, besting expectations.
Coca-Cola shares plunged 6.0 per cent as net income for the third quarter dropped 13.6 per cent to US$2.12 billion. Results were weighted down by slower economic growth and volatile currencies.
McDonald's fell 0.6 per cent on earnings that tumbled 30 per cent to US$1.07 billion in part due to a food-safety scandal in China and amid intense competition in the United States.
Chipotle Mexican Grill dropped 7.0 per cent despite notching a 57 per cent gain in third-quarter net income to US$130.8 million. Analysts said the restaurant chain's earnings growth is not sustainable.
Motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson soared 7.3 per cent on better sales in both the US and overseas. Third quarter earnings hit 69 cents per share, besting analyst expectations by nine cents.
Other companies to report earnings included Kimberly-Clark (+3.0 per cent), Lockheed Martin (-1.7 per cent), Travelers (+1.1 per cent), United Technologies (+0.5 per cent), Verizon Communications (+0.4 per cent) and Whirlpool (+1.3 percent).
Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury rose to 2.21 per cent from 2.18 per cent Monday, while the 30-year advanced to 2.98 per cent from 2.96 per cent. AFP

UGA alumna Donna McGinty has published a historical coming-of-age story about a young girl in the last days of World War II.
"It's a war that is, unfortunately, slipping out of America's collective memory," said McGinty, who graduated from UGA in 1973 with a master's degree in art education.
Girl in a Foxhole recounts the life of Zoe Rivers, an imaginative 12-year-old girl who lives in east Texas in the last days of World War II.
With the invasion of Japan looming, Zoe juggles a demanding grandmother, an emotionally fragile mother and a disengaged father who is stationed in Washington, D.C.
Distraught over the impending divorce of her parents, Zoe acts alone to change things. With little time, she must evict a certain man from her mother's life, restore her father's belief in family and shock her mother out of wildly swinging moods with a plan that endangers Zoe's life.

Yesterday, the Guardian published a lengthy profile of country music singer Shania Twain. While the piece covered all matter of ground, from Twain's extremely difficult childhood to the revenge fantasies she has about the friend who stole her husband, it was the penultimate paragraph that set the internet aflame:
"If she had been able to vote in the US election, she would have plumped for Donald Trump, she says. 'I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest. Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn't be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don't want bullshit. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent. And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?'"
Within hours, Twain had issued an apology, stating that her views had been provided without the requisite context.
I am passionately against discrimination of any kind and hope it's clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President (2/4)— Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018
I was trying to explain, in response to a question about the election, that my limited understanding was that the President talked to a portion of America like an accessible person they could relate to, as he was NOT a politician (3/4)— Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018
My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows. (4/4)— Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018
Country-pop crossover stars walk a tightrope between their fans, who often lean right, and their critics, who often lean left. The Dixie Chicks were famously nailed by their base after—yes, theGuardian—revealed that they'd dissed then-President George W. Bush during a concert.
Yet over a decade later, Taylor Swift's refusal to publicly support either candidate in the Trump-Clinton presidential election was taken as evidence of her shrewd business sense—and her lack of character. As Vox's Caroline Framke wrote at the time, the choice allowed Swift to "squeak through unscathed, letting those who love her project whatever they want onto her."
"Yesterday's controversy brings our formative experiences with Twain's early work into sharper relief. We were too young to know how hard it would be."
In the wake of the Twain fracas, comedian Billy Eichner wrote a joke that reframed the question often asked, namely: Why do we look to celebrities for political guidance? Celebrities' credentials are that they're good singers, or that they have large personalities, or that they have very shiny skin, or that they excel at pretending to be other people—and these are all fine and valuable qualities.
They are, perhaps, not as valuable to a presidential endorsement as a public policy degree or an understanding of low-income housing vouchers or time spent working in school administration.
Welp, starting to rethink my initial plan to let Shania Twain guide all of my political, socioeconomic and spiritual beliefs— billy eichner (@billyeichner) April 22, 2018
The more interesting question than whether Twain was right or wrong is why Twain's view means so much right now—even, apparently, to American women who do not identify as country music fans. The very premise of the Guardianpiece is that Twain was out of the spotlight for more than 15 years.
While she remains the the best-selling female artist in country music history and continues to make music, Twain's star is not at its zenith, as the Dixie Chicks' or Swift's were at the time of their respective controversies. Indeed, her name conjures up the powerful 90s imagery of her music videos—an iconic leopard-print catsuit or curls and a Canadian tuexedo—and songs like "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" and "You're Still The One."
As Girlboss'editorial director Jerico Mandybur wrote last summer, Twain's message is as relevant now as it was 20 years ago: "Twain is a woman after our own heart with these wry observations on all the various ways guys can be dicks. Rocket scientist? Douche. Guy with a car? Who cares! Brad Pitt himself? Into the bin. Salty fuckboys everywhere and not a drop to drink."
And we know Shania has been through it. While she has an incredible voice and divine cheekbones, she's also suffered significant abuse, loss, and betrayal, all of which are detailed in that same Guardianpiece. Many women can relate to both Twain's suffering—and her strength. Some have been quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy of Twain, an abuse survivor, supporting a known abuser.
Abuse is an inherently confusing experience that intentionally co-mingles love, violence, and control and is processed individually. Twain demonstrates the complexity of the experience in this same piece as she shares that she mourned the death of her stepfather, who had consistently abused her. We should resist the urge to tell people how to process their experiences or use others' stories of abuse to force linear recovery narratives onto their lives.
Twain was a prominent pop culture feminist in the heady 90s—when those of us in our 20s and 30s were forming our ideas about the relationship between femininity and power for the first time. Twain stripped the concept of its inherent weight, showing us that worth could be asserted with spirit, verve, hair-flips. Feminism's inherent weight, of course, is political action—which is more difficult, and more nuanced, than its attendant pop cultural aesthetics or rhetorics.
Yesterday's controversy brings our formative experiences with Twain's early work into sharper relief. We were too young to know how hard it would be.

Private equity firms are facing increased disclosure requirements and new restrictions on giving certain investors special treatment. Are current market policies sufficient to limit exposure in this new environment?
The new rules
On August 23, 2023, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rules and amendments governing the $27 trillion private funds sector. Among the new rules, private fund advisors registered with the SEC will be required to provide investors with quarterly statements detailing fund fees, expenses, and performance. The new rules will also require private fund advisors to obtain and distribute to investors an annual financial statement audit of each private fund it advises and a fairness opinion or valuation opinion in connection with any advisor-led secondary transaction. Finally, the rules will prohibit private fund advisors from providing investors with preferential treatment regarding redemptions and information via so-called side letters unless full disclosure of such arrangements is made to "all current and prospective investors". The SEC has given advisors one year to adapt to the new requirements, while those managing less than $1.5 billion have been given 18 months.
Final rules more industry-friendly than anticipated
Private equity firms have fought proposed regulations for years arguing that increased regulations would reduce investment opportunities. These arguments have been moderately successful in achieving modifications to the initial proposal. The initial proposal prohibited fee charges for services that were never performed and restricted fund managers and advisors from limiting their own liability. Neither of these prohibitions appear in the final rules.
Private equity and hedge funds challenge new rules
Notwithstanding the apparent compromises noted above, on September 1, 2023, a cohort of groups representing private funds filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit challenging the SEC's authority to adopt the new rules. A copy of the petition is available here. The suit alleges that the new rules would bar many of the bespoke contractual terms investors negotiate to meet their specific needs, would bar advisers from charging for certain expenses, and would impose unnecessary reporting requirements. The petitioners argue that the new rules violate the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. § 706) insofar as they exceed the SEC's statutory authority and were adopted without adhering to the proper notice-and-comment procedure. The SEC has vowed to vigorously defend the new rules in court. The Court has ordered the SEC to submit a copy of the administrative record, the paper trail that documents the basis for its decision, by October 11, 2023.
Impact on underwriters
The lengthy 660-page rules document will require extensive review for those in the industry. Nevertheless, at this preliminary stage, the impact on insurers may be significant. As a result of the new rules, investment advisors appear subject to greater risk and potential liabilities. For example, the new quarterly disclosure requirement may give rise to increased claims for breach of fiduciary duty or even fraud if those disclosures change from one period to the next. The prohibition against granting preferential treatment to certain investors may also provide an impetus for new claims. Litigation arising out of such claims will necessitate the retention of experts to opine on the question of whether the alleged misconduct has a "material, negative effect" on other investors. Retention of these experts will lead to increased average costs for dealing with inquiries.
Preparedness is key
Though the private equity landscape continues to develop, advance preparation remains the best course to prevent unnecessary exposure to alleged corporate malfeasance. Policy terms may need further consideration on scope of coverage in view of the possible increase of claims and with respect to conceivably greater and more frequent SEC oversight. Claims professionals need to be on the lookout for new claims brought under the rules once effective.

Tigres UANL opened up the 2018 Apertura season in style as they thrashed Santos Laguna in the Campeón de Campeones by a score of 4-0 behind goals from four different players, including Andre-Pierre Gignac and the newly returned Guido Pizarro. Los Felinos followed up their big trophy winning victory with a fairly straightforward 2-0 victory over León. Both matches showed the manner in which the star-studded Tigres squad is capable of playing. In these first two matches, Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti's squad had over 60% of the possession, attacked directly, and dominated the rest of the match statistics. Since getting off to a hot start in their first matches of the 2018 Apertura season, however, Tigres have been struggling mightily against largely inferior opposition. Here's an in-depth look into what's behind the recent struggles of Tigres UANL.
The first of Tigres' struggles came as they took a short road trip to take on Ascenso MX side Atlético de San Luis in the Copa MX. Prior to the start of the 2018 Apertura edition of the Copa MX, it was announced that a new rule would require U-20 players to log a combined 180 minutes of action in each game of the tournament. This Copa MX rule change meant that both Tigres and their Ascenso MX opposition would be required to field heavily rotated teams made up largely of youth players. Despite fielding a team largely made up of youngsters, several of Tigres' first team squad were in the starting XI. Juninho, Israel Jiménez, Ismael Sosa, Edu Vargas, and Enner Valencia all started and played the full 90 minutes in this disappointing match.
Ascenso MX side Atlético de San Luis dominated Tigres for the vast majority of the match. The intensity with which the hosts played surprised the heavily rotated Tigres squad that came into the match surely thinking that it would be an easy victory. The Tigres youth players were easily beaten off the ball by their Ascenso MX opposition, and if it weren't for some heroics by Miguel Ortega in goal, the scoreline could have been much worse than it was. When Tigres had possession of the ball they never really looked like threatening the San Luis goal. The vast majority of the rotated squad's possession was inside their own half as the midfield and backline lazily passed in between one another. The lazy passes and lack of attacking concern enabled the hosts to press defensively and cause a ton of mistakes by the Tigres youngsters.
Whenever Tigres was able to move forward in the attack it was largely due to the hold up play of Edu Vargas in the midfield. The Chilean number 9 played largely in an attacking midfield role and was the source of everything positive for Tigres, including their one goal in the embarrassing 2-1 defeat. However, much of the holdup play was for not as the rest of the Tigres squad failed to get into positive attacking positions and left Vargas to deal with 2-3 defenders on his own.
The vast majority of pundits and fans wrote off the disappointing display against Atlético de San Luis by saying that Tuca Ferretti and Tigres could care less about winning the Copa MX. However, the underlying problems of doing nothing with possession and lacking ideas offensively from the match in San Luis carried over into the next match when Tigres hosted Xolos de Tijuana in Jornada 2 of Liga MX action.
The matchup against Xolos de Tijuana was one that Tigres should have been able to comfortably win by multiple goals. On paper, los Felinos are significantly better than Xolos in just about every position on the pitch. However, this on paper superiority didn't exactly translate to a convincing win on the pitch. In a typical fashion, Tigres easily had the majority of the possession besting the visitors from Tijuana 69%-31%. They also bested the visitors in just about every statistical category in the match. Despite all of this, Tigres were only able to come away with a 1-0 victory thanks to Gignac's individual quality on a surprisingly accurate cross from Aquino, and some very poor finishing on the part of Xolos.
The vast majority of Tigres' possession was spent inside of their own half as the midfielders and backline lazily passed the ball back and forth between one another. Occasionally, Tigres would try and look somewhat threatening offensively by playing down the wings through Aquino or Damm who whipped in plenty of inaccurate crosses that almost entirely resulted in nothing as far as goals are concerned. There was hardly any urgency from the Tigres players. For his part, Tuca Feretti actually got up from the bench to scream in anger at his players from giving such a lackluster display. However, none of his yelling and shouting led to any significant changes. It was as if Tigres were sleep walking and perfectly content to do so.
From their 69% possession, Tigres managed 12 shots (3 on target) and generated 14 corners off of the ridiculously poor crosses that Aquino and Damm whipped in for most of the match. Out of these opportunities, only Gignac's free header inside the area off of Javier Aquino's lone accurate cross found the back of the net. A team with such a large chunk of the possession and so many different chances should have put more goals into the back of the net. Especially in a squad as stacked with talent as Tigres.
In Jornada 3, Tigres traveled to Mexico City to take on a completely revamped Cruz Azul under the leadership of Pedro Caixinha. Prior to the match, Caixinha made some controversial comments about Tigres' status as a "grande" in Mexican fútbol. It would seem as though these types of comments would motivate a squad like Tigres to go out and play with more effort and energy in the match. However, this was far from what happened out on a rain socked Estadio Azteca pitch.
Tigres, who were without Andre-Pierre Gignac thanks to the Frenchman picking up a throat infection, played exactly the same style of fútbol as they did against Xolos de Tijuana in Jornada 2. Tactically, they once again came out in a 4-2-3-1 formation. This time, instead of Gignac up top Tuca Ferretti decided to go with Enner Valencia. Apart from the inclusion of Valencia in the lineup, the rest of the starting XI was the exact same from the side that played Xolos in the previous match.
Again, it was Tigres who had the majority of the possession in the match. This time, los Felinos bested Cruz Azul 70%-30%. With their massive possession edge, Tigres generated 8 shots (0 on target) and a measly four corner kicks. Once again, the vast majority of the possession was spent between the midfielders and backline; nowhere near the final third of the pitch. This lack of offensive fútbol came back to bite Tigres as they fell 1-0 against Cruz Azul on a 68th minute goal from young Mexican Roberto Alvarado.
By maintaining such a large portion of the match's possession Tigres forces an opponent, in this case Cruz Azul, to be much more deliberate with their own possession. This means that los Felinos will face teams that are much more direct in their offensive approach. In some cases, this means that the opponent will rely heavily on counterattacks. In other cases it means that the opposition is going to play deliberate attacking fútbol every time they have possession. In the match against Cruz Azul, Tigres were unable to cope with the attacking display of the home side. This led to five yellow cards being issued to Tigres players. Frankly put, the Tigres defensive midfielders and defenders weren't fast enough to keep up with the quick attacking style of play that their own possession based style forced Cruz Azul into playing.
It's perfectly fine for Tigres to dominate possession statistics week in and week out. However, if this dominant possession doesn't lead to anything offensively its all for not. Especially considering the fact that dominating the majority of the match's possession forces the opposition to be much more direct with their approach because they know that they won't have many opportunities to have or maintain possession while playing against Tigres.
The current struggles of Tigres are the fault of none other than head coach Tuca Ferretti. The legendary Brazilian coach loves to play from the back and rely upon the passing abilities of his defensive midfield and backline. This style of play is hugely possession based and requires Tigres to dominate the midfield week in and week out in order to be successful. Disrupt the midfield's ability to distribute the ball to the wingers and attacking players and you've basically stopped Tigres from being effective. Playing a 4-2-3-1 formation under a strict tactical coach like Ferretti doesn't really make things any easier for Tigres offensively. Rather, this formation limits the creativity of Tigres offensively and puts a ton of pressure on Javier Aquino and Jürgen Damm out on the wings to deliver crosses into the box for the attacking players. As of date, nothing from Aquino or Damm has shown that they are consistently capable of being the two of the most important players for Tigres offensively.
To make matters worse, it looks like teams across the league have discovered the key to slowing down Tigres when they are in possession of the ball. In the matches where los Felinos have struggled, opposition teams have complicated things by limiting the passing ability of the talented Tigres midfield. By clogging up the passing lanes, opposing teams are forcing the Tigres midfield to pass back to the backline in order to avoid errant passes or turnovers in possession. When an error or turnover in possession does take place, the opposing teams are trying to quickly attack Tigres and capitalize while they are in possession.
It looks like Tigres are in desperate need of a tactical change to free up space for the midfielders, in order to be more effective offensively with their possession, if they want to have any hope of turning around their recent struggles. Perhaps giving Gignac a strike partner up top could also make a positive difference for the Tigres attack. At the end of the day it'll be up to Tuca Ferretti to make the changes that could be the difference between a championship winning season or another early exit for Tigres.
What do you think is wrong with Tigres UANL? Is it a tactical problem? Is Tuca Ferretti to blame? Or is it something else entirely different? Be sure to let us know below in the comment section.

Petrol and diesel sales fell in the first half of June as the arrival of monsoon cut demand in the agri sector and reduced vehicular movement, preliminary industry data showed.
Demand for diesel, the most consumed fuel in the country accounting for about two-fifths of the demand, fell 6.7% to 3.43 million tonne in June 1-15 compared to the year-ago period.
Sales of diesel had soared 6.7% and 9.3% in April and May, respectively as agriculture demand picked up and cars yanked up air-conditioning to beat summer heat.
Month-on-month sales were up 3.4% when compared with 3.31 million tonne of diesel consumed in May 1-15.
Petrol sales dropped 5.7% to 1.3 million tonne during the first half of June 2023 when compared with the same period last year. Sales were down 3.8% month-on-month, the data showed.
Petrol and diesel sales had been on the rise since the second half of March on the back of a pick-up in industrial and agriculture activity. But the arrival of monsoon has cooled temperatures and reduced demand for running diesel gensets to irrigate fields as well as cut down consumption in tractors and trucks in the first half of June.
Consumption of petrol during June 1 to 15 was 44.2% more than COVID-marred June 2021 and 14.6% more than pre-pandemic June 1-15, 2019.
Diesel consumption was up 38% over June 1-15, 2021 and 8.8% higher than in the first half of June 2019.
With the continued opening of the aviation sector, India's overall passenger traffic at airports inched closer to pre-COVID levels.
Reflecting the trend, jet fuel (ATF) demand rose 2.6% to 290,000 tonne during June 1 to 15 when compared to the same period last year. It was 148% higher than in the first half of June 2021 but 6.8% lower than pre-COVID June 1-15, 2019.
Month-on-month sales fell 3.9% when compared with 301,900 tonne in May 1-15, 2023.
The Indian economy has gained pace with a pick-up in government and private capital spending. Manufacturing too has picked up while the services sector has been robust.
The country's oil demand during the last few months was supported by strong industrial activity, industry officials said.
Cooking gas LPG sales were down 1.3 year-on-year to 1.14 million tonne in June 1-15. LPG consumption was 3.3% higher than in June 2021 and 26.7% more than pre-COVID June 1-15, 2019.
Month-on-month, the demand fell 6.2% compared to 1.22 million tonne of LPG consumption during the first half of May, the data showed.

'The Haunting of Taylor House'
Season 2, Episode 6 - Aired October 28, 1992
Tim creates a haunted house in the basement to scare Brad's friends, but he is more surprised when Jennifer isn't wearing the couple's costume they agreed to wear.
Quote from Jill
Jill: What have you been doing down there all day long? What took so long?
Tim: Come on, honey. Horror takes time. Besides, when Brad's guests get here tonight, they're gonna be down there with their hair bleached white, eyes bugging out with that look of horror.
Jill: That's the way you looked on our wedding day.
Tim: I shouldn't have lifted the veil.
Jill: Who told you to wear it?
Quote from Mark
Mark: I'm ready.
Randy: Who are you supposed to be?
Mark: I'm Daddy. Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
Tim: Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Mark: Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.
Tim: Right. Yeah.
Randy: You should have gone as Al. We could have gotten more stuff.
Quote from Al
Tim: All right, now that we have an even layer of mortar, it's time to float our brick. There we go. One more course, and our brick wall will be finished. Oh, golly, Al. I'm out of brick.
Al: Are you telling me, Tim, that you're a few bricks shy of a load? [snorts]
Tim: No, I'm telling you you're one wisecrack short of unemployment. [snorts]
Quote from Tim
Tim: It's Halloween and we all can't be as spooky as Al here. But we can cut ourselves some frightening jack-o'- lanterns.
Al: That's right, Tim. As you can see, I've ready carved my jack-o'- lantern. [Al's pumpkin features a portrait of Bob Vila] Although I've noticed you have not carved your jack-o'- lantern.
Tim: How perceptive of you, Al. Well, I could spend long, boring hours whittling away with an eensy-weensy carving knife like you. Or I could put some excitement into the pumpkin-carving process and sculpt my pumpkin using what?
Audience: More power!
Tim: Darn right, more power. I've cored and scored this bad boy. All I need now is a small explosion to pop the pieces out of the pumpkin. I've filled the pumpkin with natural gas, installed a small sparking device that's activated by this simple remote control. Don't try this at home, children.
Al: I believe that charge might be a little too...
Tim: Too powerful for you, Al? Too manly? A little too macho?
Al: No, all I'm...
Tim: If that's the case, Al, why don't you just cower and hide behind the desk here? [Al ducks behind the desk] Because this bad boy is about ready to go.
[After Tim presses the button, the front carvings of the pumpkin are blown out perfectly]
Tim: See there, Al. Nothing to worry about, buddy.
[When Al gets up from behind the desk, his face is covered in pumpkin guts]
Quote from Tim
Brad: Mom, everything fits except for the pants.
Tim: Who are you? No, what are you?
Jill: Raggedy Andy.
Tim: Oh, that's right It's Halloween, I'm sorry. Look out, Frankenstein. Look out, Werewolf, it's Raggedy! No, just when you thought it was safe to go back to the toy box... [Preppy voice] It's Andy! Hey, boo! Hey! Boo-hoo. Boo, dude, boo.
Quote from Tim
Brad: I feel like a sissy.
Jill: You are not a sissy. The two of you are gonna look so cute together.
Brad: I can't believe I'm doing this.
Tim: Brad, a lot of times men do things they don't want to do so the women they're going out with will do things they don't want to do.
Brad: Like what?
Jill: Yeah, like what, Tim?
Tim: Get married, de-grease an engine, shave your back hair.
Quote from Tim
Tim: Wilson, the Catacomb of Terror is just about complete, but I need your chains.
Wilson: Mm-hmm. Right inside the garage, good neighbor.
Tim: This is gonna be great. It's gonna be so scary down there, those kids are gonna love this.
Wilson: I'm sure they will, Tim. I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, "There's nothing so exhilarating as being shot at and missed."
Tim: Safe bet it wasn't Lincoln who said that.
Quote from Tim
Wilson: Well, Tim, it's just a physical reaction. When a person becomes frightened, his body releases large amounts of epinephrine.
Tim: I love that song, too.
Wilson: Hm?
Tim: [sings] Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from epinephrine goes walking...
Wilson: No, no, no, no, Tim. You're talking Ipanema. I'm talking epinephrine.
Tim: [grunts] Oh, yeah, sure you are. Sure.
Wilson: Well, let's just say adrenaline. It speeds up the conversion of glycogen into glucose. [Wilson lights up his pumpkin which features his face behind a fence] And glucose supplies energy to the muscles, thus making them more efficient for a fight or flight.
Tim: I don't care what it does. When Brad's friends see this Catacomb of Terror, there'll be epinephrine in their pants.
Quote from Tim
[Tim screams as he sees Jill in her carrot costume]
Jill: Don't even start!
Tim: That's the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Jill: I had a little problem with the reservation.
Tim: Hide the dip!
Quote from Jill
Jill: Curtis! Ho-ho-ho, Tim, Curtis is here.
Curtis: Mrs. Taylor, that's a great costume.
Jill: Thank you.
Curtis: You can't even see how fat you are.
Jill: What are you supposed to be, Curtis?
Curtis: I'm an atom.
Jill: Then why don't you split.
Curtis: Very funny, Mrs. Taylor.

I absolutely love this place!! I have been coming here for over ten years and each of the ladies here are awesome!! The atmosphere is so welcoming and fun while the service is impeccable and the ladies are professional. I recommend Beewaxed to my friends every chance that I get!!


text: I heard the remark before, this is not a rebranding, nor is it a repackaging, neither a redesign when a product is simply restyled. Which is what Porsche Design did to the Shisha/Hookah. Is it a beautiful object? By heavens yes. But it still gives you cancer - albeit if you can afford to buy it you probably have premium insurance. This is not something to entrust a delivery arguileh (those scooter driving boys who go and deliver shishas all over town) with, but well, if you want to die, might as well do it in style and put a high price tag on it.

Privacy Policy
The Burgundy Legacy Foundation (the "Foundation") is a registered Canadian charity located in Toronto, Canada. In Canada, privacy legislation has been enacted at both the federal and provincial levels, and the Foundation is subject to these laws. The Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of the Personal Information of our donors, prospective donors, board members, staff, and other stakeholders that is in our possession. Here are the ways we fulfill these commitments.
We only ask for necessary Personal Information
The Foundation collects, uses and discloses Personal Information from our donors to identify and help them meet their philanthropic needs, process their donations, provide tax receipts, direct their gifts in the manner in which they choose, keep them informed about gift giving opportunities and the Foundation activities, and comply with federal and provincial legal and regulatory guidelines.
Where donors make gifts to a Donor Advised Fund, unless donor anonymity is requested, the Foundation may disclose donation-related information. All donors have the right to request anonymity. The personal information disclosed to the Foundation includes the donor's name, mailing and/or email address and the donation amount. The information received will be used solely for the purpose of acknowledging donors and stewarding donations and will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
The Foundation also collects, uses and discloses Personal Information from our donors, board members, staff and other volunteers to keep them informed about our activities, assist them in performing their roles in the organization, supporting their ongoing training and development, and comply with federal and provincial guidelines and reporting requirements.
To help us keep our records accurate and complete, we obtain your consent for collecting, using and disclosing Personal Information for the identified purposes before such information is collected for the first time. We also seek the consent of our donors to disclose their name or the name of their personal/family fund in Burgundy Legacy Foundation publications and reports. Once this consent has been obtained, we do not seek consent again, unless the purpose, use or disclosure of your personal information changes. Donors may decline to share certain Personal Information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide you with services. At any time, you may object to the processing of your Personal Information, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We safeguard and limit access to Personal Information
We keep Personal Information in a computer system, which can only be accessed by authorized employees using secure passwords. We have installed anti-hacking hardware to prevent unauthorized access to the computer system. For disaster recovery purposes, we maintain a duplicate computer system in an offsite location. This system has the same privacy and security measures as are in our main offices. We may also keep paper copies of Personal Information in filing cabinets in our office.
We prevent unauthorized disclosure of Personal Information
All Foundation personnel are trained to keep Personal Information private and confidential. We require our board members, staff, and any other people working with the Foundation to sign confidentiality agreements, which contractually obliges them to respect and protect Donors' Personal Information. We prohibit disclosure of any Donors' Personal Information to a third-party without the Donor's explicit consent, or unless the Foundation is, by law, required or permitted to do so. We shred paper documents containing Donors' Personal Information before discarding such documents. When electronically stored Personal Information is no longer required for contractual or regulatory purposes, we delete the information from our computer systems.
Requests for access to Personal Information
Upon request, the Foundation will provide Donors with the Personal Information we hold or process on their behalf. To protect our Donors' Personal Information, we follow strict storage and disclosure procedures prior to disclosing such information. If the Foundation receives a notification from a Donor requesting deletion or return of Personal Information, to the extent permitted by law, the Foundation will remove such data from our records and evidence its removal or return of information in a manner consistent with regulatory requirements. Our retention periods for Personal Information are based on business needs and legal requirements. We retain Personal Information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose.
Outside Service Suppliers
We do not provide directly all the services related to your relationship with us. We may use service providers to perform specialized services on our behalf including, but not limited to, issuing your tax receipts, storing of Personal Information including cloud services, processing transactions or other data processing. Our service providers may at times be responsible for handling and processing your Personal Information and as such, are considered to be data processors. Some of these third parties may be located outside of Canada or the U.S. and/or may house some of the Personal Information outside of Canada or the U.S. As a result, your Personal Information may be accessible to foreign regulatory authorities and subject to foreign laws. However, our service providers are given only the information necessary to perform the required services and are subject to regulatory requirements imposing data security obligations on the ways in which they process Personal Information. In addition, we require our service providers and data processors to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy as well as the security practices and regulations applicable in their country of jurisdiction.
Use of information collected via the Internet
If you use the internet to communicate with us or access our website, certain information about your computer or device may automatically be generated, collected and logged by Web servers. This information may include the Internet Protocol (IP) Address assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the type of browser you are using, the general location of your computer, click rates, manufacture and Web pages visited. We may, from time to time, use this information to monitor website usage, resolve technical issues, improve functionality and evaluate website or application popularity.
Website usage
The Internet is not a secure medium and complete privacy, security and confidentiality cannot always be assured. While the Foundation implements reasonable and effective security controls to protect its data assets, you acknowledge that any improper use of the website may lead to unauthorized disclosure of your Personal Information. The Foundation shall not be responsible or liable for any harm that you or any other person may suffer in connection with any such breach of confidentiality or security.
The Foundation has implemented security measures and processes to help protect against the loss, misuse, theft and unauthorized access of the Personal Information under our control. Only the Foundation employees and authorized third parties who have a legitimate business need or legal requirement to access and/or process your Personal Information will be permitted to do so. General entry to our offices is secured and cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel.
Please exercise care and judgement whenever sending Personal Information to us or any other parties via email. Because of the inherent risks associated with the electronic transmission of information on the internet or otherwise, the Foundation does not guarantee the security and integrity of any electronic communications sent or received in relation to the services provided to you.
Reporting privacy breaches
A privacy breach is the loss of, unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, Personal Information resulting from a breach of an organization's security safeguards. Upon the occurrence of a privacy breach or a potential privacy breach, the Foundation will investigate and evaluate the implications of the breach of security safeguards. The Foundation will report the breach to the appropriate regulatory body and/or applicable organization as soon as feasible after we have determined the breach occurred and such reporting will occur within the prescribed timelines for certain jurisdictions. We will also notify affected individuals if the breach creates a real risk of significant harm to an individual as soon as feasible after the organization determines that the breach has occurred, unless giving notice is otherwise prohibited by law. The Foundation will take immediate steps to prevent future breaches after taking all necessary steps to mitigate the risks associated with a breach of security safeguards.
We may disclose information to regulators, government agencies only when required
We may be required to disclose your Personal Information to domestic and international governments, government agencies, tax authorities, law enforcement agencies, securities regulators and other regulators, and will only do so when required by law.
Raising a complaint about how we have handled your Personal Information
If you wish to raise a complaint on how we have handled your Personal Information, you can contact us directly and we will investigate the matter. If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are not processing your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law, you may make a complaint to your local Privacy Commissioner's Office.

Giri and Peng win Dutch Championships
Anish Giri won the Dutch Championship convincingly, scoring 7.5/9 and a 2850 perfomance. The Dutch rising star won 16 rating points to reach a virtual 2717. In the women's section Zhaoqin Peng, as always, reigned supreme and clinched her 13th title with 9/10.Anish Giri and Zhaoqin Peng, winners at the Dutch Championship
Dutch Championship 2011 | Round 9 (Final) Standings
Dutch Championship 2011 | Women | Round 10 (Final) Standings
General info
The Dutch Championships took place June 25 - July 5 in Boxtel, The Netherlands. Venue was the SintLucas College in Boxtel for both the Open and Women's sections. The Open was a 10-player, single round robin with a first prize of 7,500 Euro; the Women's section was a 6-player, double round robin with a first prize of 1,800 Euro. For both groups the rate of play was 90 minutes for the first 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with the addition of 30 seconds per move from move 1. More info here.Report on the second half
GM Wouter Spoelman, who started so strongly, couldn't keep up his good form in the second half of the tournament, and against stronger opponents. In the 6th and 7th round he suffered losses against the highly experienced GMs Ivan Sokolov and Friso Nijboer. He did beat reigning champion Jan Smeets, who played a disappointing championship, but in the last round Spoelman also lost to the new champion, Anish Giri.Giri, who turned 17 during the tournament, played strongly, and immediately showed that his new 2700+ rating is not a coincidence. Admittedly, he didn't meet the highest rated opponents in the last four rounds, but his 4/4 against Brandenburg, Swinkels, Janssen and Spoelman was impressive. The Dutch Champion finished two full points ahead of runner-up Sokolov.Besides Smeets, Erwin l'Ami also had quite a disappointing tournament, scoring a performance two hundred points below his rating. Robin Swinkels (2483) can be satisfied with a shared third place and a 2632 performance.It was never seriously questioned who would win the women's section, and it doesn't look like it will be in the next few years. Zhaoqin Peng won her 12th consecutive and 13th title in total, scoring nine wins and one loss (and even in that game she blundered in a winning position).Games rounds 6-9 (men) and 6-10 (women)

Tell-All! How You Doin'? Wendy Williams In Crisis As Her Former Co-Host Drops A Bomb
Wendy Williams better not read Charlamagne tha God's new memoir, because he has no nice things to say about his former mentor. The radio presenter, who has a huge following not only in New York but worldwide, is releasing a memoir, Black Privilege, and disses the outspoken TV host.
According to RadarOnline, the 36-year-old calls her "very cruel" and that's not all.
Charlamagne also has words for her husband, Kevin Hunter, who once cheated on her. In his book, he calls Kevin "extremely aggressive." #Yikes.
- Shocked: Sarah Jessica Parker Opens Up About Feud With 'SATC' Costar Kim Cattrall
- Jamie Lynn Spears Pleads With Britney Spears To Handle Their Ongoing Feud 'Privately' As Pop Star Reportedly Plans Bombshell Tell-All With Oprah Winfrey
- Brandi Glanville Poses With Frenemy LeAnn Rimes In Xmas Pic — Did They Make Up?
Many may not know this, but Charlamagne once worked under Wendy, and it was a long three-year stint! But they apparently had a falling out and it was primarily over Kevin.
So Wendy ended up siding with her hubby and dismissing Charlamagne.
What are your thoughts on their feud? Let us know in the comments section.

NY Attorney General Cracks Down On HFT Exchange Co-Location
Going on six years now, America has been waiting to see if there will be any repercussions for Wall Street banking firms for their role in the global economic crisis. This week, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is expanding efforts to "shine a light on unseemly practices that cater to high frequency traders at the expense of other investors."
Among them is the practice of allowing high frequency traders to co-locate their machinery in the exchanges, giving them a latency advantage over other firms outside those datacenter walls.
At a New York Law School symposium, titled "Insider Trading 2.0 – A New Initiative to Crack Down on Predatory Practices," Schneiderman detailed several of the products and services that high frequency traders use to gain competitive advantage. These include early access to proprietary data feeds, which are faster and more accurate than what is publicly available, as well as co-location practices that allow firms to house their servers inside the exchanges.
"Rather than curbing the worst threats posed by high frequency traders, our markets are becoming too focused on catering to them," said Schneiderman, who took office on January 1, 2011. "I am committed to cracking down on fundamentally unfair – and potentially illegal – arrangements that give elite groups of traders early access to market-moving information at the expense of the rest of the market. We call it Insider Trading 2.0, and it is one of the greatest threats to public confidence in the markets. It's long past time that we focus on structural reforms to help eliminate the unfair advantages enjoyed by high frequency traders."
In high speed trading, competitive advantage is measured in milliseconds. With time on their side, high frequency traders can make rapid and often risk-free trades before the rest of the market can react. This has led Wall Street's most tech-savvy traders to co-locate their computer servers in the same datacenters as the exchanges, a set up that employs ultra-fast connection cables and special high speed switches. The firms pay thousands of dollars each month to NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange for the privilege of near-zero latency.
Services that provide extra network bandwidth are the back-bone of HFT, which relies on algorithms, fast computers, and ultra-low latency networks to make rapid buy and sell orders based on momentary differences in stock prices. Unlike traditional long-term investing, the strategy is to hold the position for extremely short periods of time. Each transaction might only make a few pennies, but with the high volume of trades, that can add up to billions of dollars each year. In the United States, it is estimated that over 50 percent of the trade volume is performed in the HFT arena.
Besides giving HFT firms a major latency advantage, the arrangements make it possible for traders to continuously monitor the exchanges for large incoming orders. For example, if a firm can detect a hefty order from an institutional investor, like a pension fund, it can take the opposite position to artificially manipulate the price.
Manoj Narang, CEO of Tradeworx, a high frequency trading company in New Jersey, disagrees with Schneiderman's approach.
"People who take advantage of commercial offerings that are available on a widespread basis aren't breaking any laws," Mr. Narang told the New York Times.
If exchange co-location is taken off the table, it will "set off a far more expensive arms race for physical proximity," said Mr. Narang, as firms scramble to find an alternative location to host their wares. In some ways this could lead to unfairness within the elite HFT space. In the co-lo exchange, the firms are provided with identical links to the main datacenter, with the network cables being measured to the precise inch. If they are forced to move to adjacent blocks, the latency advantage will go to the shop that scores the closest connection.
Critics, though, say high frequency traders are gaming the system. The Attorney General did not mince words when he explained some of the failings of HFT during his speech.
"Unlike the rest of us who invest in the markets, as I hope you all do, some high frequency traders appear to trade with virtually no risk," Schneiderman said, addressing the New York Law School panel. He cited a large high frequency trading shop, Virtu Financial, that made money every single day for six years, except for one day. In contrast, Goldman Sachs, a preeminent Wall Street trading firm, has reported 219 unprofitable trading days over the last five years.
"I do not begrudge anyone their right to make money," Schneiderman went on, "but if something seems to be too good to be true, it usually is. And we question whether there are some traders that are just so smart that they never, ever lose money without some special advantage."
The Attorney General is working on ways to mitigate these advantages. Currently the system is set up to reward speed over price. A proposal from the University of Chicago suggests putting a speed bump in place, such that orders would be processed in batches after short intervals. Even a one second lag would ensure that the price would be the deciding factor in who gets the trade, thus negating much of the advantages of speedy equipment and early access to market data.
According to Schneiderman, this structural reform, sometimes referred to as "frequent batch auctions," would reduce the incentive to implement untested, potentially destabilizing technology and could actually increase liquidity by reducing the costs imposed on all market participants.
Schneiderman's office has met with the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ about these issues. His office has also secured interim agreements with a number of prominent financial firms, including Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., JP Morgan Securities, Morgan Stanley, and several others, to stop their practice of surveying Wall Street analysts, on the grounds that the practice favors a few clients at the expense of smaller players. The Attorney's office has also secured agreements with wire services Business Wire and Marketwired to stop providing traders with early access to market-moving information. Eliminating that advantage helps restore fairness to the markets, according to Schneiderman.

Saturday 16 December 2023, 3PM – 5PM CET
FIT is organising a free webinar (open to all) on ethics in court and legal interpreting with Tony Rosado on Saturday, 16 December at 3:00 pm (CET time) via Zoom. Registration is required.
Interpreting is a fiduciary profession used by people to make important decisions that affect their lives. In the legal field those decisions could include matters of life, freedom, family, and money, and they could have lasting, often irreversible effects. Legal and specially court interpreters are bound by carefully crafted rules of professional conduct, and a strict code of ethics. This webinar will explore said rules and canons, analyze their reason to exist, and explore the consequences of ignoring their observance. Because of their complexity and relevance, the presenter will place special attention on the duties of impartiality and confidentiality, including the attorney-client privilege. Those attending this presentation will leave with a better understanding of the rules court and legal interpreters must live by.
The webinar will be on the rules court and legal interpreters must live by worldwide, although most of the examples will refer to the United States of America because the speaker works and lives there. The webinar will be in English, interpreting will not be provided.
Tony Rosado is an interpreter with experience interpreting all over the world. He has a law degree and has worked internationally in high profile conferences, court proceedings, sports events, and TV broadcasts, including presidential debates and political conventions.

FIT Panel Discussion | The Role of Indigenous Language Translation in the Midst of Climate Change: Negotiating displacement, loss of land, language and culture
Saturday 25 November, 6PM – 9PM CET
FIT invites Indigenous experts and anyone interested in Indigenous matters as well as all translators, interpreters and terminologists to attend a free webinar on the topic of climate change and its impact on Indigenous language, culture and way of life. For Indigenous peoples world-wide, climate change constitutes a human rights issue. But how much further has climate change affected Indigenous ways of life in terms of language and culture? How are some of these changes reflected in critical discourse, in oral and written texts, and in day-to-day language revitalization? How do Indigenous languages grapple with the emergence of a strange new scientific language that describes the phenomena of climate change? And how can translation here become a force of change addressing these narratives?
Our panelists from Canada, South Africa and Russia will each address the topic from a different perspective, presenting on and interacting with the challenge of climate change and the role of translation in contending with displacement, loss of land, language and culture. The session will consist of presentations by each of the panelists followed by a discussion and a question-and-answer session.
The webinar will take place on Zoom on Saturday 25 November from 6-9pm CET, and it will be mostly in English. There will be interpretation into English for presenters choosing to speak in their own Indigenous language.

WHERE IS THE TRUE VALUE FOUND, IN BOOKING A "LUXViLLAResort @LUXNomadTENT?"
LuxVillaResort is an adventure for guests seeking real people having a genuinely great time, exploring and experiencing obscure Thematic destinations, while enjoying OutbacKEDGES at a level of experience not found by many; and along the way, finally arriving at a splendidly magical place of sublime rest & relaxation. It's a place of respite, where families and friends meet, parents and children are reunited. It is a place where you can do all of your favorite things together, things you always wanted to do at home or with your friends and colleagues, but never can seem to find the time to do. At LUXViLLAResort there is a merge of geographic beauty & geomantic-architecture to faciliate the liberation of the individual, to where the human soul meets 'the true spirit of place'.
Within the completed aesthetics of these unique installations which we install based on both the Public & our own long term Private participation, the environment of LuxVillaResort @OUTBacKEDGES rekindles your spirit like no other place on Earth. You unwind in a way you never thought possible. Here you can disconnect or choose full high broadband wireless connectivity in the ambiance of 'Space-freedom time'. Be without live T.V. Be without your cell phone. If you can stand it for long enough to know, what that's actually like?
Imagine you're immersed into the depths of nature and you are steeped in an environment where as far as you can see, there is little, to nothing man made. Every morning, the sun comes in slow over the horizon for hours before blazing over the tops of desert canyons and at higher elevations the pyroclastic field of volcanic craters, bathing you and the space you reside, in 'pure solar brilliance'. No noise. Nobody in the way of your peace of mind. OUTBacKEDGES.
Every evening, you are watching the Milky Way, glowing in an ink black sky. Every afternoon, you are standing in the stark beauty of subtle multicolored volcanic high alpine mountain desert terrains. You can see eighty miles (as far as the eye can see) in any given direction from the decks and vistas afforded by thoughtful placement of your individuated LuxNOMADTENT; or you may take a brief stroll and see an entirely different regional vista, a distance of a short walk from any of the knolls and hills that rise and fall around you. "Here obscured Ancient Ruins of Ancient Peoples tell the tales not found on any Public Map"
Each day you may adventure through desert slot canyons; where you explore to see ancient ruins of ancient peoples not on any public map or tourist attraction; new knowledge, new realizations about culture come to you; and you are surrounded and steeped in the mystery of time and space itself; you experience space and time on an awareness level that you did not know existed. You do not understand or know how to explain what you are experiencing but you know that you are mystified with a new found joy and curiosity about life. You are charged with a new sense of life and renewal, overwhelmed with a new sense of freedom and exhilaration; energized beyond what you could easily describe in words. You may choose to travel a short while and now you are standing in a crystal clear brook like river hoping for a bite from a brown trout or a rainbow.
The next day, you may choose to be riding your horse at 10,000 feet through the mountains, and your kids, or your friends and colleagues are having the time of their life. Therefore, you are having the time of your life. You have transcended the places from whence you came; all that surrounds you is, truly magically superb. Suddenly you have everything that you need and beyond that, everything that you want; you have defied logic and entered the realm of magic, myth, legends and lore. You are truly alive.
LuxVillaResort as unique and removed yet close enough to the MetroCrosswalks, to be convenient enough for all people. Those of you looking for a typical 4 or 5 star corporate developed resort may find fault in a LuxVillaResort vacaLtion; however these locations are providing a life experience through genuinely familial activities and wholesome fun; not just simulated luxury, a decorated room and a place to eat.
Here every person and every service employee will treat you like you are their friends and family. If you're on a horse riding Adventure-Safari, there is almost a communal exclusivity with your horse and with your well seasoned guides. You will be surrounded by mountains, broad expansive endless panoramic desert views and in the deep canyons on the ridges cut-backs bring you from elevations between 14,000 and 4,000 feet above sea level. There are trout and brown bass loaded creeks; you will just want to take it all in. Once you immerse you and your family or friends in this environment you will never forget it and you will have difficulty leaving; you will always want to return. You may move because of your visit and your experiences as a result.

Rep. Luttrell Sworn In for Fifth Term
Ponca City Now - November 22, 2022 6:30 am
Oklahoma Representative Ken Luttrell-District 37
OKLAHOMA CITY – On Wednesday, Nov. 16, Rep. Ken Luttrell, R-Ponca City and the other members of the 59th Legislature took their oaths of office. Rep. Luttrell is serving his fifth term in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
"I am so deeply honored and humbled that the citizens of District 37 would put their trust in me to be their voice at the Capitol for a fifth term," Luttrell said. "I promise that I will not let you down and my door is always open to you if you ever need anything."
Luttrell said there are a number of priorities the Legislature will be addressing in the upcoming session.
"We have a lot of challenges to tackle on behalf of Oklahomans during this year's session, and we are ready to get to work," Luttrell said. "Most important to me is addressing inflation and how hard Oklahoma families have been hit over the past two years. I'm hoping to see more money go back into our citizen's pockets whether that is through a grocery tax cut, income tax credit or lowering of the tax rate."
Luttrell said that education and business issues are priorities as well.
"We need to find ways to increase student outcomes and support local control of our schools, because we have fallen too far behind for too long," Luttrell said. "Additionally, we need to work on becoming a more business friendly state. Part of attracting business is having an educated workforce, so fixing some of our issues with education should lead to more long term investment by businesses looking to relocate or grow here."
Luttrell serves as the Chairman of the Appropriations & Budget Select Agencies Committee as well as serving on the Veterans Affairs, Energy and Higher Ed & Career Tech committees. Additionally, he is the Co-Chair of the Native American and Passenger Rail caucuses. Nationally, he serves on the Board of Directors for The Energy Council's Center for Legislative Energy and Environmental Research, and as a member of the Executive Committee for the National Native American State Legislators Caucus.
