UNESCO: Minding the Data: Protecting Learners' Privacy and Security
This report provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges related to digital learning. Key findings underscore the gender skills gap, as women are more likely to report a lack of skills as a barrier to Internet use. This gap spans the skills spectrum from using devices and Internet access to computer programming. The gender gap is more pronounced for women who are older, less educated, poor, or living in rural areas and developing countries.
The National Girls Collaborative Project™ promotes equity and STEM experiences as diverse as the world we live in. Our mission is to connect, create, and collaborate to transform STEM for all youth.
Support Our Work

relationship with others Sure, we can love, hate, help. and can hurt others Social psychologists study all of these because they deal with the relationship between people and people. Social psychologists study love and relationships. since what is love Are there any factors that make people like each other equally? How to maintain a couple's relationship
How can I fix problems in a relationship? love then hate Social psychologists study group discrimination. This means disliking someone or a group of people just because they belong to them, which is an unfair stereotype, such as insulting women. It could cause women to be excluded from becoming leaders in the agency. insulting people from countries that we consider to be underdeveloped, etc.
Nearly 7% of the world population is obese1 and about 66% of the adults in the United States are overweight or obese.2 Obesity is associated with a number of adverse medical conditions including increased risk of gallbladder disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease (CHD), osteoarthritis, cancer death and reduced life expectancy.3–8 Obesity is also associated with adverse social and psychological consequences, including bias, discrimination and decreased quality of life.9,10
More effective treatment strategies are urgently needed for obesity management. The total caloric intake or energy density of one's diet appears to be associated with obesity11–14 and a diet that induces a negative energy balance continues to be an important part of obesity management. Strategies to achieve the difficult task of eating less than desired include reduction of the energy density of foods by increasing food volume by the addition of fluids,15,16 bulk17–19 or their combination;20 or by increasing satiety by various anorectic drugs or macronutrient combinations of high satiety value.
Satiety is positively associated with the protein, fiber and water content of foods and negatively with fat and palatability ratings.21,22 However, within food groups, there may be as much as a twofold difference in satiety values, suggesting that certain foods promote greater satiety independent of macronutrient content or energy density. An egg is an example of such a food that has a 50% greater satiety index compared to white bread or ready-to-eat breakfast cereal.21 Compared to an isocaloric bagel breakfast of equal weight, an egg breakfast had a greater satiating effect, which translated into a lower caloric intake at lunch.23 The resulting decrease in energy consumption lasted for at least 24 h after the egg breakfast.
This study was undertaken to exploit the short-term satiating benefits of an egg breakfast23 for weight loss in a longer-term trial. The objectives were to determine if the incorporation of an egg breakfast in the diet by overweight or obese subjects would (1) induce reduced energy intake and unintentional weight loss, even when not attempting weight reduction; or (2) enhance weight loss when following a reduced energy diet. We compared the effects of an egg vs isocaloric bagel breakfast of equal weight on weight loss, indices of body size and composition, dietary compliance, food cravings and health-specific quality of life.Materials and methods
The study was approved by the institutional review boards at Pennington Biomedical Research Center and at Saint Louis University. Written informed consent was obtained from the participants. We certify that all applicable institutional and governmental regulations regarding the ethical use of human volunteers were followed during this research.
Of the 160 participants enrolled, 8 did not complete the trial. The final study sample included 152 participants (131 women and 21 men; mean age 45.0±9.4 years; black participants 47.7% and white participants 52.3%). Demographic characteristics of the participants are provided inTable 1

ARABIAN JOURNAL FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, vol.46, no.4, pp.4175-4189, 2021 (SCI-Expanded)
Recently, subjects such as human recognition (HR), age estimation and gender recognition have been among the most investigated human-computer interaction topics, in both the academic and other fields. HR is a process in which a person is detected based on the obtained biometrical features. In this study, a new feature extraction method has been suggested through using the signals received from the sensors of the accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope attached to the 5 areas on the human body. The feature extraction from the signals is one of the most crucial stage. The reason behind the success of HR is based on the extracted features. However, the extraction of appropriate features for HR is a challenging issue. Various transformation methods like 1D-LBP and 1D-FbLBP have been applied to the sensor-based signals. Following the transformation process, the statistical features have been acquired from the newly developed signals. The classification processes have been carried out with the distinctive methods concerning machine learning (Knn, RF, A1DE, A2DE and ANN) by using these features. According to these results, 1D-LBP (88.4649%) and 1D-FbLBP (91.8281%) methods have been chosen to provide effective features for HR.

Hairstyles for fine hair can be tricky. With only a gust of wind or the wearing of a hat, volume can be lost and a day spent teasing and spraying will become your destiny. However, we've come up with fine hair-friendly hairstyles that will take you through both winter and spring. Never curse a lack of thickness again.
1. The pixie
A pixie can mask fine hair or thinness " especially if cut in a textured way like Ginnifer Goodwin's. Depending on hair tendencies (curly, straight, wavy), you might even find yourself embracing a less processed style " especially if you use products enhance hair texture. After washing, work through volumizing product or spray, and then dry and top with sculpting gel. Just avoid the wet look to keep hair looking full.
2. Blunt bob
The blunt bob with a centered part may be timeless, but that doesn't mean you'll be stuck in a hairstyles for fine hair rut. Look to fashion darlings like Kate Bosworth and Chloe Sevigny who've embraced their fine hair through a simple move. A bob doesn't necessarily have to be chin length, so a cut hovering at the shoulders will give your hairstyle for fine hair the bounce it needs. However, keep ends trimmed since a blunt look can easily showcase split ends " or ask your stylist to add a few layers throughout the bottom to ensure that you can grow out your bob in peace.
3. Retro waves
Don't blame us for incorporating one of the season's favourite eras with hairstyles for fine hair. Finger waves may seem complicated, but by beginning after you shower (use your fingers to layer wet pieces back and forth and let set), you'll create the texture your hair craves. However, stars like Jessica Chastain are also a testament to vintage waves and fine hair: at this week's SAG awards, she channeled Grace Kelly with her early ˜60s smooth hairstyle, which added the necessary bounce hairstyles for fine hair often lack. Begin by blow-drying from the root to ensure volume from the get-go, and use hot rollers to create a slight wave. Spray with flexible hold spray and behold.

Legal name change
How to change names legally, Florida
If your name change is not from marriage or divorce, then a court order is the only legal way to change your name. A private company cannot issue a legal name change order, although they may help you prepare the court documents for a fee. If you have a reasonable understanding of the court process you could manage your own application.
Save hundreds of dollars with Easy Name Change! Our kit comes with both the Florida legal name change petition and filing instructions, together with personalized and ready to send name change notifications. ($401 court filing fee and third-party costs not included).
It's a detailed and complex process to petition the court for a legal name change order, as you need to submit fingerprints, and a criminal check. There is no requirement for newspaper publishing, so once the checks are done you could get a court date within a week.
With a bit of reading and planning, it may be simple enough to manage your own legal name change in Florida. Legal name change falls under the Florida Supreme Court, however by local rule approved by the Supreme Court, County family courts hear name change applications. A legal name change in Florida can be costly, typically costing around $500.
There are two parts to legal name change. First, petition the court and pay the $401 filing fee. If successful receive a certified copy of your name change order. Next, notify all the organizations where you hold ID, a record or account that needs to be updated
We provide both the Florida legal name change petition as well as the notifications to send off once your name has been changed. Brilliant value at just $35!
Once you have successfully petitioned the court and have your name change order, we help you get your records updated. This includes SSA, driver's license, vehicle title, voter registration, passport, insurance, bank, credit card, loyalty club and many more. No research, no guesswork.
- Complete a 'Petition for Change of Name' (Minors, Adult or Family) We include this in your kit. Some county courts require you to purchase a name change informational packet for a nominal fee. These packets contain the forms (the 'petition') and detailed instructions on how to complete.
- Get fingerprinted by an authorized fingerprinting service provider. Your sheriff's office often does this for a small fee. Private agencies can be more expensive. Fingerprinting is not necessary if you are reverting to a prior name or for dissolution of marriage.
- File the completed petition with the clerk of court and pay the filing fee of $401 (subject to change without notice).
- Submit your fingerprints at the time of filling.
- Once your application has been accepted and your filing fee paid, the clerk will set your hearing date. Hearing dates vary greatly between counties. This may be done within days or weeks, or even 6 months away.
- Your fingerprints will be used for a criminal history background check which will take place after filing, but before the hearing.
- It is recommended you attend the hearing so you can respond to any questions. In most cases the final court order authorizing the change is issued on the same day.
- Purchase at least 2-3 certified copies of your name change order so you can change your records with various organizations without waiting for your only certificate to be returned.
The total cost to change names can be anywhere from $401 to over $600. It just depends on your situation. For example, a divorcee without a passport may pay only $425 as they do not need to pay for fingerprinting, background checks or a new passport. Here's the full breakdown;
- Your county courthouse may require you to purchase a name change packet before filing your petition, which may be between $5 and $50
- By state legislature, the filing fee for a legal name change is $401. This fee is applicable regardless of how minor or significant the name change is.
- Fingerprinting, if required, may be between $10 and $75
- The criminal history background check is about $45
- If approved, a court order authorizing the name change is often included in the filing fee. Otherwise you may need to pay a nominal cost for each certified copy of the order.
- The Florida DMV charges $25 for a new driver's license
- If you have a passport, expect to pay over $130 for a new passport book (this is waived if your passport is less than 12 months old).
- Most other organizations do not charge to have your name updated unless a new credential needs to be issued (ie: diploma or ID card).
* All fees correct at the time of writing but are subject to change without notice.
We can't provide an answer to this question as your situation is unique. It is possible however to apply to the relevant court in your county for a legal name change without any assistance, but you should have a good understanding of legal processes. Many counties require you to download their application form or purchase a packet that contains the application forms and instructions on how to prepare and file. Courts have a self-help center where you can be guided through how to complete the process.
If you have ongoing legal issues, such as custody disputes, pending immigration matters, credit issues or any other legal matter it's highly recommended you engage with an appropriatley qualified professional.
If you haven't done so already, here is where you need to buy an Easy Name Change kit. Your name should be updated immediately after receiving a court order granting the name change. If you hold a driver's license or photo ID card you must inform the SSA and Florida DMV within 10 days of the change.
There are a number of forms to complete and file. Many companies also need you to send in a letter, email or visit a branch. We provide ready-to-send name change notifications so you can just attach your court order, sign and send! You'll still need to visit the DMV and likely your bank too, as they need to record your original signature.
If you legally change names and have children, their name will be unaffected. If you want to change your child's name at the same time as your own you can lodge a petition to change a child's name at the same time and the cases may be heard together. Parents or legal guardians can lodge a child's name change at any time. Easy Name Change is a notification service, so we don't prepare legal name change paperwork or request court orders. As children have fewer organizations to notify of their new name our kits are not suitable for children. Contact the court for more information about changing your child's name.
Easy Name Change is a notification service. If you're legally changing names we recommend getting a court order name change approved first, then just add it to our notifications and send. If you don't yet have a legal name change order and have further questions, please use the resources below for further information. As we are not qualified legal professionals, we are unable to provide any further advice beyond what appears on this page.
- Information on how long you could expect your application to take and cost.
- Florida legal name change application forms. (family, individual, minors)
- County courts have self-help centers that assist in booking hearings and answering common questions. Find your local county Family Law Self-Help Center.
- Your petition needs to be filed with the family court.
- Understand more about the Florida courts system or to browse for relevant information and forms here.
- If you plan on representing yourself, you should read General Information for Self-Represented Litigants. As there is no respondent in the court proceedings, not all the information is relevant for name change but the document still provides some excellent information.
- If you have successfully petitioned the court for a legal name change and were born in Florida, request a certified copy of your birth certificate in the same way you order a regular birth certificate.

Legal Name Change
You can be known by any name, but to get identification and records changed you need a court order. Fees and turnaround times vary significantly between states. Apply for your court order, then attach to our notifications and send.
Legal name change petitions should be filed with your local court house. Turnaround times vary significantly by county and filing fees are set by your state. Companies generally do not charge to update your name unless a new credential needs to be reissued.
If you're legally entitled to reside in the USA you can change your name legally. There can be significant costs with your petition and immigration filings. If you are planning on becoming a US citizen it may be cheaper and faster to wait.
This process is managed by your county court. We provide general information to get started on your child's name change, but it's always best to contact your local court directly.
Once you have a court document proving your new name it's then your responsibility to get your records updated. No records are linked, so you need to contact each organization directly and follow a separate process.
If you've decided to file a legal name change application with the court we've got some information to help you along the way.
You've got your court order. Now it's time to notify each company that you have a new name! Save money with our FREE checklist.


text: The latest full length project, I'll Come Back, debuted August 2021 – with national touring in support of the record ongoing. Although falling loosely under the bluegrass label, AJLBS generally plays sans banjo, with Sullivan Tuttle and Scott Gates on steel stringed acoustic guitars, AJ on mandolin, Jan Purat on fiddle, and Chad Bowen on upright bass – a configuration effectively used to create unique space and texture in the arrangements not as commonly found in the music of their peers.

From Courtney Act to Delta Work, Magnus Hastings has consistently made himself one of the go-to photographers for some of our favorite drag queens, and there is no secret as to why; his photographs are vibrant, vivid, and the queens are keenly aware that they come alive before his lens (his gender tease picture of Courtney Act on the cover of his 2016 book Why Drag is a great example). His latest project though, has Hastings taking some of our favorite queens and showcasing them in a completely different, yet all too timely way.
#MaskUp is Hastings way of taking some of his favorite and most talented performers and showing them in their most real and authentic way. Shot completely out of drag, the performers were shot completely socially distanced and safely. Hastings was looking to find a way to be both creative and to make a point during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Queens like Raja, Jaida Essence Hall, Kornbread, Manila Luzon, and Meatball all participated in the series, each showcasing their own individual style, stripped down and masked up. Hastings took the opportunity to find a location to shoot with the queens outside (with a simple roll of grey paper as the backdrop), and then create a mask from an old shot he had on file. He calls this "the perfect COVID social distant project with a message".
For his shoot with Honey Davenport below for example, Hastings utilized the opportunity of having this socially conscious queen in front of his lens by ensuring that people were aware that COVID-19 is adversely affecting 3 times as many people of color. "Show love for each other, protect each other, and wear a mask..this is not a partisan issue" Hastings said.
Magnus Hastings is releasing a new book, titled Rainbow Revolution this fall. Hastings' site describes it as "a collection of vibrant portraits that celebrate the expanding spectrum of queer identity and visibility.". Check out the behind the scenes video from the cover shoot for Rainbow Revolution earlier this year.

Singapore: Non-oil exports unexpectedly rebound in February, despite another fall in electronics exports
Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) increased by 4.9% year-on-year in February, rebounding from January's 10.1% decline which had marked the sharpest fall in over two years. The reading broke a run of three consecutive monthly contractions and confounded analysts' expectations of a 3.4% contraction. On a month-on-month seasonally-adjusted basis, NODX expanded 16.0% in February following the previous month's 5.7% decrease.
February's result was underpinned by a healthy 9.4% jump in non-electronic NODX which was only partially offset by an 8.0% fall in electronics exports. That said, non-electronic NODX growth was largely thanks to the volatile pharmaceutical and non-monetary gold subsectors. Particularly, exports to China surged thanks to greater exports of non-monetary gold, aromatic chemicals and petrochemicals. Demand for Singaporean goods in Hong Kong, the U.S. and Thailand also expanded, whereas demand from Japan, South Korea and the EU28 continued to contract.

SALT LAKE CITY — It might not be fantasy football, but it's a good football fantasy. Kevin Costner's new film "Draft Day" offers a 50-yard line seat to the high-pressure games played off the gridiron.
Costner stars as Sonny Weaver Jr, manager of the Cleveland Browns who is under incredible pressure from team owner Anthony Molina, played by Frank Langella, to make a real "splash" in the draft and help boost ticket sales.
Dennis Leary is the team's coach who has his own ideas regarding the draft and isn't shy about flashing his Super Bowl ring while offering his opinions. Sonny has always dreamed of being able to manage a team made of the players he wants and he's determined to make that happen.
The movie opens with the clock beginning to tick down from 12 hours to the draft itself. We follow Sonny throughout the day as he navigates not only the professional challenges, but personal issues as well, including relationship problems with his girlfriend Ali, played by Jennifer Garner.
Ali is a home-grown Cleveland girl who is a football fanatic and works for the team trying constantly to keep the organization within the salary cap. This all brings a little romance into a story that otherwise is pretty much pure testosterone. Add to all of this, Sonny's mom who chooses this day, of all days, to not only criticize a major trade, but she also wants Sonny's participation in a tribute to her late husband and former coach of the Browns, Sonny Weaver Sr. Honestly, some of this stuff doesn't quite click.
Early in the day, Sonny strikes a deal with the Seattle Seahawks that make the "splash" that ownership wants but costs the team dearly in future draft picks. Has he made a major blunder or is this part of an overall brilliant strategy relying on some luck? Watching it all unfold is riveting and a lot of fun.
Something else that add to this film is the cooperation from the Cleveland Browns and the NFL. Scenes were shot in real settings and at the draft itself. Some of the notable cameos include NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, sportscaster Chris Berman, and we even get a scene with legendary Jim Brown. The unprecedented access, the actual folks who steer the NFL and play the game, add credibility to this movie.
I've liked all of Costner's sports movies, "Tin Cup," "For the Love of the Game" and of course, "Field of Dreams"…and this is no exception. 3 stars for "Draft Day" and it's rated PG-13.

Zoo School has created opportunities for generations of students, teachers and parents, to build connections with animals, by allowing them to come swimming, crawling, running and flying, out of their text books and story books and into real life. Each week is personalized to meet the needs of the students and teachers involved, whether that be building the science vocabulary for new immigrants to Canada and helping them to become familiar with our local flora and fauna or exploring life at the zoo for our penguin population and linking it to ocean health, our goal is to bring the curriculum to life and to improve the environmental literacy of our younger generations. Most importantly, by having students watch, learn and wonder about an animal for a week through regular observations and listening to experts, it provides them with a window into its life, prompting them to feel empathy and concern for other living things. As the natural world continues to shrink around us, there is no other time in the history of this program when it has been as relevant as it is today. Hopefully it will continue to have a profound and lasting impact on our students, building the conservationists of our future.
Zoo School can be part of your year. Applications for the 2021-2022 school year are due April 14, 2021. See the CCOM website for more information.

Dave: I'm here with my business partner, Tim, today. He recently helped a client convert $160,000 to Roth and pay no additional tax. So, we wanted to share this story with you because I know that we get quite a few questions around Roth conversions and when it might make sense and things like that. Hopefully this story can help you as you're evaluating your own financial life in retirement. So, Tim, how did this conversation come up with the client and just tell us how it all started.
Tim: Yeah, Dave, my favorite part about all of this is it actually didn't start with the goal of how can we convert more money from IRA to Roth IRA? But it started with their values–what was most important to them? And most important to them was maximizing charitable giving over their lifetime.
With them being business owners and looking at potentially selling the business in the future, we were doing some future tax planning, looking at ways we could either accelerate some of the taxes that they might have to pay in the future or, give to charity so that they could deduct taxes now, rather than spreading out their charitable giving over their lifetime.
Dave: Did you talk about charitable giving with them in previous years?
Tim: Yeah, that's always been an ongoing conversation. Their goal was to give about 10 percent of their gross income every year for the rest of their life. So, we said, hey, let's map this out over the next 30, 35 years. This sounds maybe a little extreme of something to do. But we saw when we did that, there were some unique opportunities they had in this specific year of doing a lot of their charitable giving over the next four to five years, and maybe not doing any charitable giving after that.
Dave: Okay. A lot of people, when we bring up the idea of front-loading the gift, they'll bring up how they don't want to front-load the money to the charity in one year. Any discussion around that?
Tim: A big concern with a lot of generous people is, I don't want to overwhelm the organization with my gifts now. I'd like to spread it out over a long period of time. And so, we brought up the donor-advised fund. This is a tool that we share with a lot of people that says, I can make the gift to my donor advised funds now. I can get the tax deduction for it now, in a year where my income is really high. Then I have ultimate flexibility on giving to those charitable organizations over the rest of my lifetime. I can even automate it. And, maybe this is too much, but I can invest it. I can invest the donor advice on the charitable dollars. I can invest over the next 30 years. Potentially, I could have an even greater impact on those organizations over time.
So tax benefit now, invest for tax-free growth through the future, and have the flexibility to give out to organizations over time and even change who you're giving to 10, 15 years from now.
Dave: Gotcha. I think it makes sense, conceptually. How did you map it out with your client, just so you knew it was the right decision? It's such a big money decision, just like every one is important. How did you map it out?
Tim: Well, one of the things that made this work, and this comes back to your Roth IRA question from the beginning where we got started, is in this particular year, they decided they were going to do, I want to say, a hundred thousand dollars of charitable giving. And because this was a high-income year for them, we said, what if we did an additional $250,000 of charitable giving this year. So, that lowers their income quite a bit.
At the same time, let's convert $160,000 from their IRA to their Roth IRA. Again, these numbers worked for them. You obviously have to work with your tax professional to figure out what scenario is best for you. But it made it where those two moves, the taxes sort of offset one another. It made it seem like they weren't paying any additional tax to do that Roth IRA conversion.
Dave: Interesting. Are there any negatives or pitfalls when thinking about if you want to front load or do the same sort of strategy? Any negatives there?
Tim: Yeah. There's a couple of things that you want to think about if you're considering a strategy like this one. There are AGI [adjusted gross income] limits that the IRS has in place for the amount of the percentage of AGI you can give. And, in the form of appreciated assets, in this specific scenario, ideally, we would have loved to give appreciated stocks or ETFs [exchange traded funds] away in their case. We had just done a lot of tax-loss harvesting six months prior, so none of it was long-term gains. So, this year we gave cash. There are different limits for appreciated assets and cash that you have to be very mindful of. Above that, you can actually roll over those charitable contributions to future years, but it's something to keep in mind.
Another potential negative is you are front-loading your giving so the money's not yours anymore. It's going into that donor-advised fund and it's committed to charity. That's why you get the tax deduction. So, make sure you're running this charitable plan along with your retirement income plan, making sure it's sustainable over time. In this case we saw this actually is a benefit to the retirement income plan over time because they had already pre-committed to give for the rest of their lives.
The third one is look back at your values around giving and having an impact. Not everyone wants to do that. Is it one of your top values as a family? Once you've defined your values, then you can consider strategies like this, but maybe this isn't for you. Don't give to charity just because you're getting a tax deduction, but maybe try though.
Dave: Excellent. So any other benefits that we should know about behind the strategy?
Tim: I think there are two things that we probably haven't hit yet:
Number one, they were able to move over $300,000 into a tax-free bucket, whether it's a tax-free bucket for giving or a tax-free bucket for their family, the Roth IRA, those two can both stay invested over the next 20, 30 years and grow tax-free. That's one really neat way to look at it. Especially if you feel like you're paying no more tax than you did the year before.
The second benefit of moving money from IRA to Roth IRA, and most people probably know this, but at age 72, when the required minimum distributions kick in, some people might be like this couple, where at age 72, as we mapped out their retirement income plan, they're getting a significant forced pay raise that they have to pay taxes on at that point. The more we can move into the tax-free bucket, that's not susceptible to RMDs, the less that pay raise is going to be at age 72.
Dave: Hopefully that makes sense and gave you a couple of things to think about as if you're asking questions about Roth conversions and tax planning and income planning. One of the big takeaways here is that you can't control everything. Obviously, we can't control a lot in our lives. Two things that we have a pretty good hand on when it comes to your income plan and retirement plan is the ability to control costs of what you're investing in, and then also control taxes. It seems like a lot of the political environment gets decided for us. But there are some things we can still do. This is one example with Roth conversions of being able to decide when you're going to pay tax and how is that going to benefit you in the future when tax rates might change and things like that.
There's a lot of factors that come into this. If you have questions, and specifically if you're thinking about charitable planning, but you don't know all of the strategies out there and you want to talk about it, we do leave space, I think maybe one or two spaces open a week to talk to Tim or I specifically just around charitable planning. It's not even a meeting to talk about our services at Streamline and how we help people. It's really just for people who want to know more. We want to help people if they're charitably minded. We want to make sure that they're getting the most benefit as well for what they want to do.

You will also realize the Amazon sales ranking graph is situated on the wide selection of items. One among the absolute most crucial may be the amount of earnings that a commodity has already established during the last calendar year. In order to get the highest position potential, you need to get a top sales history throughout the calendar year. The second element that will impact the sales rank graph could be that the range of times per product was bought within the past week. The aspect which will be used from the sales position graph will be influenced by this.
The quantity of purchases that a product has received is at deciding the value of a item, another element that is used by Amazon. You will notice the range will likely be recorded beside the product identify.
If this range varies, it's employed as a measure of customers are buying a item. A decrease number signifies that a item is being purchased more frequently by clients. Higher numbers imply a product is popular by customers.
The Very Best Reason You Ought Not Get amazon sales rank chart
Amazon's rank method is dependant on several aspects.
These generally include the number of times each product was sold at the past, the variety of most"purchases" a product has received from clients, and the speed at which products promote.

The dollar is currently in a depreciation phase since its mid-September peak (114/Dollar Index), but iBanFirst analysts anticipate that the most likely medium-term scenario will be an appreciation of the US dollar around 115 (dollar index). The expected evolution of the dollar will be fuelled by several structural underlying factors.
Since peaking in mid-September at around 114, the Dollar Index has been in a depreciation phase. This drop is partly explained by the easing of US inflation, which may lead to a slowdown in the monetary tightening cycle of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). The debate is not settled. There are two camps.
The first camp includes all those who think the dollar has already peaked in this cycle and will continue falling towards 100. They foresee a swift drop in inflation over the coming months, which would ease market strains.
The second camp includes those who, like us, think the recent depreciation is just a breather and the dollar index may appreciate again if the risks associated with the global recession materialise.
iBanFirst is convinced we face an economic universe where the dollar will remain strong for a long period and could top 115. Based on the real effective exchange rate (which measures one currency's valuation relative to another), the US dollar is overvalued by 34% against the euro, for example. This is an historical high.
The underlying drivers of a dollar target of around 115
In absolute terms, inflation remains preoccupying. True, inflation is easing in the US from its peak last June. This has been confirmed by both the consumer price index (7.7% year-on-year in October) and the production price index (8% year-on-year over the same period). But the starting point (around 10%) does not technically leave the Fed any choices other than to continue tightening its monetary policy over the coming months (even if growth slows) to return to the explicit target of 4%.
The US trade deficit is a driver of a strong dollar (73.3 billion dollars last September). The Americans distribute an enormous amount of dollars for their imports (semiconductors, pharmaceutical products and electronics, in particular), and a portion of these dollars are recycled in the US market by foreigners seeking yield and safety. This is a phenomenon we have seen during past crisis periods and is in the process of happening again.
The US is less penalized by the energy crisis: this country is suffering less than many other developed economies from the energy crisis. This is a new development. The US has its own access to oil and energy resources and can drain strategic oil reserves if necessary to contain a surge in prices. This is what the White House has done since September 2021 (total of 212m barrels released over the period).
Lastly, the resurgence of Covid cases in China is another explanation of the dollar's appreciation by a domino effect. Whereas China contributed of around 30% to world growth before Covid, this has since fallen to 10%. This means that, unlike in the crisis of 2007-2008, the country will not save the world economy this time round. And periods of economic turbulence tend to be synonymous with a strong dollar.
