The Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Commonwealth Bank and Commonwealth Securities alleged to have underpaid nearly 7,500 workers to the tune of $16,5-million.
Three of the major banks have said they'll cut interest rates after the Reserve Bank of Australia dropped the official cash rate by 25 basis points to a new low of 2.5 per cent.
DIANA MOUSINA, CommBank Economist, reveals the findings of a Commonwealth Bank study into the spending habits of Australians on health and fitness.
Three of the 'big four' Australian banks have made the top 100 of a global survey of the world's most valuable brands. The Brandz survey credits Australia's strong economy for contributing to the growing value of Australian brands.

Choosing to divorce or separate is never without its complications. There are often unique elements to this choice for every couple, with varying degrees of emotional, financial, and lifestyle impacts depending on your circumstances.
However, children are one key factor that undercuts this choice for everyone. It's no secret that the choice to separate or divorce can profoundly impact your child's growth, and may play a key role in how they develop into an adult.
This can be a paralyzing reality that many couples face when they choose to divorce or separate. Often leading to anxiety about how to best prepare, support, and nurture your child through this foundational change in your child's, and your own lives.
Today we'll be exploring the consequences of divorce or separation for children. Specifically, we'll be taking a research and academic-based approach, to equip you with the information you need to make this transition in a healthy and supportive manner.
Do Not Fear the Headlines – The Truth About the Consequences
It's vital that we first outline an important piece of information, before exploring the consequences a divorce or separation can have on your child. The important word in that sentence is "can".
When parents research this topic, it is very easy to become alarmed. The truth is, there are many different aspects of your child's life, growth, and personality that can be shaped by divorce or separation.
Yet, as is outlined in a wide range of academic papers on the subject, including "The Impact of Parental Divorce on Children's Educational Attainment, Marital Timing, and Likelihood of Divorce" by Verna M. Keith and Barbara Finlay, these effects are merely more likely.
Unpacking The Statistics: An Example Dissected
To provide an example: Research has shown that children who have divorced or separated parents are more likely to be prone to mental illness later in life.
On the surface, that's an alarming piece of information. Until you learn that the increase is merely a few percent. Meaning only a fraction of children with divorced or separated parents has suffered this consequence.
When reading the consequences below, you must keep this reality of statistics in mind. Your child may suffer none of these effects. They may not suffer these effects as a result of your divorce or separation either.
The overwhelming majority of research into this subject has underlined one key factor to a child's future after divorce. If they have love, support, and a strong connection with their parents, then they have everything they need to grow into perfectly healthy adults.
Emotional Consequences
A divorce or separation will have many immediate emotional effects on your child. This may be the first time your child is faced with a range of emotions, especially depression, stress, and anxiety. Because of this, there is a range of emotional consequences that can present themselves.
Children often lack the introspective tools adults rely on to process a significant change in their lifestyles, such as a divorce or separation. Yet, research has shown that children will often become introspective regardless.
Because they are ill-equipped to properly process this sudden introspection, this can manifest itself as depression. It is common for children to blame themselves, and think they played a key role in their parent's divorce.
In the long-term, research has reflected that children of divorce suffer a higher rate of depression in adult life.
Anxiety & Stress
Both anxiety and stress will be the most present consequence your child faces on an emotional level, as the result of a divorce or separation. If your child is under the age of eight, this is likely the first time they've experienced these two emotions as well.
Your child will likely become hyper-focused on the smaller parts of life. What's for breakfast? Do I get a juice box? Can I play with my toys later? What are you doing?
Questions like this, whilst innocent on the surface (And expected from almost any child) are a sign your child is stressing out, or anxious, over small details. These questions will likely become more frequent as a result.
Lifestyle Consequences
Tackling lifestyle consequences is difficult, due to the broad nature of our lives. No two lives are the same, and the consequences your child will face as a result will differ. Yet, there is one key consequence that the vast majority of children will face as the result of a divorce or separation.
Two Homes – How to Adjust?
This is a complex topic, and we highly recommend you read our more in-depth article exploring this in more detail. However, we can provide some small insight into how to better handle this reality in the short term.
Honest and open communication is the key to helping your child adapt to suddenly having two homes. Simply be upfront with them, explain the situation, and provide your child with their own space in each home.
In the long term, our article goes into more detail. However, there are no research-based findings that suggest any lasting negative effects as a result of this lifestyle change.
Behavioral Consequences
Perhaps the most explored area of research for the consequences faced by children of divorce is behavioral consequences. This is primarily a result of how children, especially before their teenage years, primarily communicate.
As parents, we will be attuned to the behavior of our children. A shift in their typical behavior is easy to spot, and research has shown that a majority of children will present drastic shifts in their behavior in the short term.
These consequences include:
- Sudden destructive behavior,
- Arguing,
- Shouting, temper problems, or tantrums,
- Lashing out physically,
- Being quiet, not wanting to be around others,
- Crying.
These behavioral consequences are to be expected in the short term. Your child will be struggling with complex emotions. Research has shown that in the long term if left unchecked, this can lead to anger problems, depression, anxiety disorders, as well as a range of other mental illnesses.
In Conclusion
The consequences faced by children of divorce are diverse and complex. Presenting what can often feel like an impossible quandary at an already difficult time. Whilst the statistical likelihood of your child developing long-term negative effects is small, that likelihood still exists.
Thankfully, this reality is not without its silver lining. Now equipped with a broader understanding of the short-term and long-term consequences a divorce or separation can have on a child, you have the tools you need to provide support for this drastic change in your child's life.
For more in-depth analysis on many of these topics, we highly recommend you browse our wealth of information on this topic.

Lipstick has become an essential part of almost every woman's life. It is one of those cosmetics that can completely change the way you look and feel about yourself. Every woman has their go-to shade or brand that they swear by, but have you ever stopped to think about what lipstick symbolizes? It is more than just a mere cosmetic; it's a symbol of confidence, power, femininity, and individuality.
Through the years, lipstick has become an expression of one's personality, mood, and style. From bold reds to soft pinks, every shade represents something unique and different. For example, wearing a bold red shade represents power, courage, confidence, and sensuality, while a soft peach or pink color represents innocence, sweetness, and femininity. Lipstick symbolizes the power of transformation, the ability to completely change your look and mood with just a swipe.
Lipstick is not just a cosmetic that beautifies the outer appearance, but it also has a psychological effect on the wearer. It can uplift one's mood, boost confidence, and make one feel empowered. With the right shade of lipstick, a woman can conquer the world and take on any challenges that come her way. Wearing lipstick symbolizes owning one's individuality and embracing their femininity. It's a simple addition to any look, but it makes a significant impact on how one feels about themselves and how they are perceived by others.
Historical significance of lipstick
Lipstick has a long and fascinating history that dates back to ancient civilizations. Women have been using various substances to color their lips for thousands of years, and the practice has evolved over time to become the symbol of beauty and femininity that we know today.
The following are some of the key historical events that have contributed to the evolution of lipstick:
- Ancient Egyptians used crushed bugs and red clay to color their lips.
- Romans used beeswax and red dye to create a lip stain.
- During the Middle Ages, lipstick was often associated with sin and evil, and it was only worn by women of the lower classes.
- In the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I of England popularized the look of wearing a pale face with bright red lips.
- In the 19th century, lipstick became more widely available and affordable, and the range of colors expanded.
- The 20th century brought about many changes in the world of lipstick, including the introduction of new formulas, the use of more natural ingredients, and the creation of long-lasting formulas.
To further understand the evolution of lipstick, it's interesting to take a look at the cultural significance it has played throughout history. In ancient societies, colored lips were often seen as a sign of social status. In some societies, men also wore lipstick or lip paint, including various Native American tribes and members of the British aristocracy. In modern society, however, lipstick is primarily seen as a symbol of femininity and beauty.
Cultural Perception of Lipstick
Lipstick has been an essential part of beauty practices across various cultures for centuries. However, the perception of lipstick and its significance varies from one culture to another. Here are some examples:
- Western cultures: Lipstick is mostly viewed as a symbol of femininity, sensuality, and attractiveness. It is used to enhance the natural beauty and add color to the lips. In some contexts, it is even used as a sign of empowerment, confidence, and rebellion.
- Asian cultures: Lipstick is also considered a symbol of femininity, but in a different way. In Japan and Korea, for example, pale skin is greatly admired, and bright lipstick is used to create a contrast between the lips and the skin. Therefore, red, pink, or coral lip colors are popular. On the other hand, in China, light lipstick instead of bright colors is preferred, and the aim is to create a more natural look.
- African cultures: Lipstick has often been part of some African rituals. In ancient Egyptian culture, for example, red lipstick was worn in religious ceremonies. In some African countries, lipstick is used as a sign of tribal affiliation.
Moreover, the significance of lipstick has evolved over time, and its cultural perception has changed as well. For example, lipstick during World War II was seen as patriotic and a way for women to join the war effort. Later on, during the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s, some women rejected lipstick as a symbol of patriarchal beauty standards.
Overall, lipstick has played an important role in beauty practices and cultural symbolism across the world. Its significance varies from culture to culture and from one era to another. Nevertheless, it remains an expression of femininity, beauty, and identity.
Different Types of Lipstick products
Lipstick has been used for centuries, as a symbol of beauty, femininity, and power. However, not all lipsticks are created equal. There are different types of lipstick products available in the market, each with their unique formulations, finishes, and effects. In this article, we explore the different types of lipstick products to help you find the perfect one for your needs.
- Matte Lipsticks: Matte lipsticks are popular for their rich, bold, and opaque finish. They are perfect for creating a glamorous, sophisticated look, but may also highlight dry or flaky lips. Matte lipsticks are ideal for those who prefer a long-lasting, transfer-proof formula.
- Glossy Lipsticks: Glossy lipsticks offer a shiny, lustrous finish that creates the illusion of fuller, plumper lips. They are perfect for creating a youthful, fresh look, but may require frequent touch-ups as they tend to wear off quickly. Glossy lipsticks are ideal for those who prefer a hydrating, easy-to-wear formula.
- Sheer Lipsticks: Sheer lipsticks offer a translucent, see-through finish that enhances the natural color of your lips. They are perfect for creating a subtle, understated look and are ideal for those who prefer a low-maintenance, barely-there formula.
Other types of lipstick products include liquid lipsticks, which offer a long-lasting, high-pigment finish but may feel drying on the lips, and satin lipsticks, which offer a soft, velvety finish that combines the best of both matte and glossy formulas.
If you are looking for a specific shade or finish, it helps to consider the undertones of your skin. For cool-toned skin, choose lipsticks with blue or purple undertones, while warm-toned skin looks best with lipsticks with yellow or orange undertones. Neutral-toned skin can usually wear any shade.
Type of Lipstick | Finish | Pros | Cons |
Matte lipstick | Flat, non-glossy | Long-lasting, bold color | Dries out lips, can highlight imperfections |
Glossy lipstick | Shiny, lustrous | Hydrating, plumping effect | Wears off quickly, can feel sticky |
Sheer lipstick | Translucent, see-through | Enhances natural lip color, easy to apply | May require frequent reapplication, not highly-pigmented |
Ultimately, the type of lipstick you choose depends on your personal preferences and the occasion. Experiment with different shades and formulas until you find the perfect one that makes your lips feel soft, smooth, and beautiful.
Chemical composition of lipstick
Lipstick is a cosmetic product that is used for coloring lips to enhance beauty. It is made from a combination of several chemical compounds that give it its unique texture and color. Let's dive deep into the chemical composition of lipstick:
- Pigments: These are the colorants that give the lipstick its distinct color. Pigments are usually inorganic compounds, and the most common ones used in lipstick are iron oxides, chromium oxide, and titanium dioxide.
- Wax: Wax is an essential component of lipstick and provides its structure and texture. The most common type of wax used in lipstick is beeswax, which gives the lipstick a smooth and glossy finish.
- Oils and Fats: These ingredients provide the lipstick with moisturizing and conditioning properties. Common oils used in lipstick include jojoba oil, castor oil, and coconut oil.
Lipstick also contains emollients, which are often made from lanolin and other plant-based ingredients. These emollients help the lipstick glide smoothly onto the lips.
Ingredient | Function |
Pigments | Provide color |
Wax | Provides structure and texture |
Oils and Fats | Moisturize and condition |
Emollients | Help the lipstick glide on smoothly |
It's essential to understand the chemical composition of lipstick to choose the right product that suits your skin type.
Psychological Effects of Wearing Lipstick
Wearing lipstick may seem like a simple beauty routine for some, but it can have significant psychological impacts on the person wearing it. Here are some of the psychological effects of wearing lipstick:
- Increased confidence: Applying lipstick enhances a person's appearance, which can boost their confidence and self-esteem. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Manchester found that wearing lipstick can make a woman feel more confident and attract more attention from others.
- Enhanced mood: Wearing lipstick can also enhance a person's mood. The act of putting on lipstick engages the senses, and the sight of a bold lip color can have a positive effect on a person's emotional state. This is because wearing lipstick can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
- Expression of personality: Lipstick can be a way for a person to express their personality and style. The color and texture of lipstick can communicate different messages about a person, such as boldness, sophistication, or playfulness.
Overall, wearing lipstick can have a significant impact on a person's confidence, mood, and self-expression. Whether it's a bold red or a subtle nude, there's no denying the psychological benefits of a good lipstick.
The Science Behind Lipstick:
Aside from the psychological effects, there is also some science behind why wearing lipstick can be so impactful. Here are some interesting facts:
Fact | Explanation |
Lipstick can enhance a person's attractiveness | Research has shown that lipstick can make a person's lips appear fuller, which is a sign of youth and fertility. This enhances a person's overall attractiveness, making them more appealing to others. |
Lipstick can change a person's perception of themselves | A study done by Procter & Gamble found that women who wore red lipstick felt more attractive and confident than those who wore no makeup. This perception of attractiveness can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and confidence. |
Lipstick can have physiological effects on the body | Wearing lipstick can trigger the release of endorphins, which are hormones that are associated with pain relief and pleasure. This can have a calming effect on the body and can improve a person's overall mood. |
So, there you have it! The science behind why wearing lipstick can have such a positive impact on a person's psychological well-being.
Influence of Celebrities on Lipstick Trends
One of the biggest factors that affect the popularity of lipstick shades is celebrity influence. Celebrities often set the trends of the latest fashion styles and continue to inspire people around the world with their unique styles and looks. It is not unusual for celebrity lipstick trends to become an instant hit in the market, with fans eager to replicate the look and feel of their favorite celebrities.
Below are some ways celebrities have influenced lipstick trends:
- Color choice: Celebrities like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Gigi Hadid have been known to influence the color trends of lipsticks. For instance, Rihanna's FENTY Beauty line features unique and bold shades that reflect her style. Similarly, Kylie Jenner's lipstick line KKW features more neutral tones that represent her minimalist style.
- Application techniques: Celebrities, through their makeup artists, often introduce new ways of applying lipstick, which gains popularity and becomes a trend. For instance, Kim Kardashian often rocks the ombre lips, where the center of the lips is brighter than the outer part. It is a technique that she introduced and became a trend among her fans.
- Brand endorsement: Celebrity endorsements have a significant impact on the popularity of lipstick brands. Whenever a celebrity endorses a product, it often leads to a surge in sales due to the massive following that celebrities command. For instance, when Beyoncé endorsed L'Oreal, it led to an increase in sales and popularity of the brand.
Celebrities have also been known to embrace and promote natural and organic lipstick brands. They acknowledged the importance of using natural and cruelty-free makeup and have helped raise awareness of the availability and importance of such brands.
Celebrity | Lipstick Brand |
Emma Watson | Bite Beauty |
Olivia Wilde | RMS Beauty |
Gwyneth Paltrow | Kosas |
Overall, celebrities have a significant impact on lipstick trends. From color choice to application techniques and brand endorsements, celebrities set the standards for what is fashionable and trendy.
Lipstick as a Tool for Empowerment
For centuries, lipstick has been used as a symbol of power and femininity. Throughout history, women have used lipstick to make a statement about who they are and what they stand for. In recent times, lipstick has become a tool for empowerment, allowing women to express themselves in a way that was once thought to be taboo.
- Confidence booster: Wearing lipstick can make a woman feel confident and beautiful, which in turn can boost her self-esteem and give her the courage to tackle any challenge that comes her way.
- Professionalism: In certain professions, wearing lipstick can be seen as a sign of professionalism. It shows that a woman takes pride in her appearance and is serious about her work.
- Expression of personality: Lipstick comes in a variety of colors and shades, allowing women to express their personality and individuality through their makeup choices.
Furthermore, lipstick has even gone as far as empowering women through commerce. When a woman buys a red lipstick, for example, she is not only purchasing a tube of lipstick, but also buying into the idea of empowerment, confidence, and strength. A woman who wears red lipstick is telling the world that she is not afraid to be noticed and that she has the power to turn heads.
Color of Lipstick | Meaning |
Red | Confidence, power, and sensuality |
Pink | Femininity, playfulness, and friendliness |
Nude | Simplicity, natural beauty, and understated elegance |
With so many shades to choose from, lipstick has truly become a tool for empowerment. It allows women to express themselves in a unique and powerful way, making a statement without saying a word. Whether you choose a bold red or a subtle nude, wearing lipstick can help you feel confident and self-assured, ready to take on whatever challenges come your way.
Religious views on wearing lipstick
Various religious beliefs and cultures have different views on wearing lipstick. Here are some examples:
- In some conservative Christian communities, wearing makeup, including lipstick, is seen as immodest and against their beliefs of modesty and natural beauty.
- In certain Hindu traditions, red lipstick is seen as a symbol of marital status and purity, and is worn by married women during religious ceremonies.
- In Islam, some interpretations of the Quran dictate that wearing makeup, including lipstick, is not permissible for women who are not in the presence of their husbands or male relatives.
It's important to note, however, that these views are not the same across all communities and individuals within these religions and cultures. It ultimately comes down to personal interpretation and practice.
Lipstick and Feminism
Lipstick has always been associated with women, but its deeper meaning goes beyond mere physical appearance. Throughout history, lipstick has carried empowering connotations for women. It is a symbol of confidence, independence, and rebellion against societal norms.
- Red lipstick, in particular, has been a recurring symbol of feminine power. In the early 20th century, suffragettes wore red lipstick as a symbol of their fight for equality and their right to vote. This iconic look was further popularized by Hollywood actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.
- During the 1970s, the feminist movement took up the red lipstick trend once again. This time, it was embraced as a statement of women's liberation. The idea was that by wearing a bold shade of lipstick, women were taking ownership of their bodies and their sexuality.
- Nowadays, lipstick remains a potent symbol of feminism. Many women continue to wear it as a way to express themselves and feel empowered. It is a form of self-care and self-expression that can boost confidence and make a statement.
But lipstick hasn't always been embraced by feminist organizations. In the 1960s, some feminist organizations saw makeup as a way to conform to patriarchal beauty standards and resist true liberation. They believed that women should reject cosmetics altogether and embrace their natural beauty.
However, the beauty industry has shifted in recent years to be more inclusive and diverse. Now, women have a vast array of colors and options to choose from, from subtle nudes to bold neon shades. Makeup brands are now making an effort to feature women of all skin tones and body types in their ads.
Pros of Lipstick and Feminism | Cons of Lipstick and Feminism |
Lipstick can be a symbol of female power and liberation. | Some feminists see makeup as conforming to patriarchal beauty standards. |
Wearing lipstick can boost confidence and make a statement. | Some women are pressured by society to wear makeup in order to look professional or attractive. |
The beauty industry is now featuring women of all skin tones and body types in their advertisements. | Some women are judged or discriminated against for not wearing makeup. |
In conclusion, lipstick and feminism have a complex relationship. While some feminists reject makeup as a way to conform to patriarchal standards, others embrace it as a symbol of female power and liberation. Ultimately, the choice to wear lipstick or not should be a personal choice, and women should not be judged or discriminated against based on their decision.

- Social Media Marketing: Social media platforms offer an effective means for brands to reach a wider audience and build relationships with consumers. Brands such as MAC Cosmetics and Kylie Cosmetics adeptly use social media to showcase their lipstick products and interact with their followers.
- Brand Ambassadors: Hiring brand ambassadors, also known as celebrity endorsements, is a longstanding marketing strategy used by many lipstick brands. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift have endorsed lipstick brands and have provided a lucrative partnership to both the celebrity and the brand.
Here is a table that depicts the top five lipstick brands worldwide based on their market share:
Rank | Brand | Market Share |
1 | MAC Cosmetics | 14% |
2 | L'Oreal Paris | 11% |

LeBron James has sounded fed up with the NBA's coronavirus protocols as the Lakers have lost five straight.
Meanwhile, the Warriors – a longtime bother to LeBron – have once again emerged as the NBA's team to beat.
LeBron, via Alex Didion of NBC Sports Bay Area:
"Nobody's going to feel sorry for you, no one's going to feel sorry for your record, nobody's going to feel sorry for guys out because everybody, besides I think Golden State and Phoenix, everybody has guys out," James told reporters after the Lakers' Christmas Day loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
A star when last active, Golden State guard Klay Thompson hasn't played this season. Neither has James Wiseman, Golden State's starting center when he got hurt last season. Golden State starting small forward Andrew Wiggins (last four games) and Golden State starting shooting guard Jordan Poole (last five games) have been out due to the coronavirus protocols.
There's being bitter.
And then there's being bitter and wrong.

When I recently joined a fraternity, I held onto some skepticism about the lifestyle. Perhaps the biggest question was the quality of the food. Most Cornell students have visited frat houses; we've seen the sweaty dance floors packed with people, and we've smelled the puke in the corner. To put it lightly, I was a little scared to try the food that my fraternity had to offer. However, my doubts soon dispersed.
I had been invited over to the house to meet members of my fraternity class on a normal Wednesday night. I was told that we were going to eat steak, potatoes, fruit and vegetables. I almost grabbed a quick meal at Toni Morrison beforehand, just in case I couldn't stomach what they offered. At the last minute, I took my chances, opted against the pre-dinner meal and walked over to the house. As soon as I arrived, the smell of food wafted to my nostrils. It wasn't the typical fraternity smell of wet feet, but the smell of delicious cooking meat. I stepped down the stairs and was greeted by trays overflowing with green beans, asparagus, steak, salmon and fresh fruit.
I grabbed a plate and immediately dove into my meal. The rugged steak was cooked to a mouth watering medium, and the fruit and vegetables provided great balance with a pallet-cleansing earthy feel. The salmon was the perfect level of toughness and full of flavor: easily better than any fish I have eaten in the Cornell dining halls. My expectations started low, but both the quality and the quantity of the food shocked me. In total, there were about seven large containers filled with different foods to meet all dietary needs. Each container carried more than enough food for the entire house, and there were plenty of leftovers by the end.
A few days later, I was invited back for another dinner. Needless to say, I accepted the invitation. This time, the menu was roast beef, lasagna and chicken. I was once again taken aback by the quality. There had to be a mastermind behind all this, and I needed to meet them.
On a worn out sign above where the food is served read the words, "We reserve the right to refuse service." However, "we" is crossed out, and the name "Don" is written in its place. When I first saw Don Celentano, he was wearing a white apron and was very focused on cooking. He was taking rounds between the serving area and the oven, swapping out empty containers with steaming trays full of pasta and beef. It is an unspoken rule that you thank Don before heading to the dining room with your plate. Don is a member of the house — no, he is more than a member. He is the house. It is Don who keeps the frat boys fed.
Leaderboard 2
I sat down with Don after consuming another delicious meal. I wanted to know how and why he became a fraternity chef and how his food was consistently fantastic.
Don started off at Cornell in August 1981, working for Cornell Dining. In 1990, he switched to cooking for fraternities, and has done so ever since. The switch from clean, elegant dining halls that Cornell operates, to, well, a frat house is a big change. I figured there must be something motivating Don to stay in the Greek life system.
"The perks are you don't have a lot of people to work around, so you can do your own thing, use your own creativity, make your own meal plan," Celentano said. "The downside is that you don't work all year long; you have a long summer off."
Newsletter Signup
So, say you're a chef. You don't want to take orders from anyone, and you want to work alone in a community where your customers love you. A fraternity seems like the perfect place. Don has complete control of his kitchen, and he doesn't have anyone micromanaging his every step — because he is the boss.
"These guys treat me very well," Celentano said. "I love the kitchen; there's no fancy equipment. I have a stove, and I have a broiler. I have nothing to chop up, and I have nothing to whip. That's the way I like it."
According to Don, he and the majority of other frat chefs aren't aiming to produce a fancy five-star restaurant meal. Instead, they use simple ingredients to master delicious meals day-in and day-out. Frat boys want protein, carbs and vegetables so they can eat as quickly as possible and get back to whatever shenanigans they are up to.
"Taco Tuesday and Prime Ribs are what they love the most," Celentano said.
Don arrives at the frat house at 8:30 a.m. and leaves at 5 p.m. He writes the menus based on what the brothers request, orders the food, puts away the groceries, manages the pantry, cooks the food and cleans up all the pots and pans.
Don has much more personal responsibility than the typical worker at Cornell Dining. He personally knows all of his customers, and he knows they will have to return to his food. He doesn't want to disappoint them. With this position, however, also comes great freedom of decision-making.
"I don't see anyone, nobody tells me what to do, how to do it. I love that; it's my free expression," he said. "If you're working at a restaurant, you've got to do what the boss says. You better do it this way, that way, or you're out of there."
Don is one of over 25 fraternity chefs at Cornell. He lives a unique life, filled with flexibility, creativity and community support.
The next time you're singing along to a song at a frat party or dancing with the guys, take a moment to think about the chef behind the scenes who keeps them fed. There's a lot of moving parts to a fraternity, and the chef is perhaps the most important role. It takes a special kind of person to work 40 hours a week in a fraternity. I urge you at some point to sit down with a frat chef and have them tell you a couple stories — I promise you won't regret it.

Carrie Bradshaw once said, "I like my money where I can see it: hanging in my closet," but Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Kardashian have very interpretations of the quote.
The "Sex And The City" star attended the 2018 New York Ballet Fall Fashion Gala in New York wearing an elegant red high-low hem, bubble gown, featuring puffy shoulders, a v-neckline and sheer sleeves by Giles. She finished the look with Fred Leighgon jewelry and red pumps from her own SJP shoe collection. Definitely the best dressed of the week.
On the other hand, the reality star was much more braggy wearing a head-toe money look bat at party for beauty brand Anastsia Beverly Hills . The garish outfit, which included a trench coat and matching boots comes from a 2001 collection of designer Jeremy Scott. A gold sparky dollar sign bag accessorized he look. Sorry Kim, this one just makes us roll our eyes. Worst dressed of the week.

Some false cases can break your faith in humanity. In a recent report from Mumbai, a 53-year-old man was acquitted by a special POCSO court after he spent six years in jail on charges of sexually assaulting his two daughters, aged 10 and 17,
The Court concluded that the testimony of the alleged victims (daughters) and others were not trustworthy.
The case was registered by the daughters against their father in June 2017.
The 17-year-old daughter suffered from cerebral palsy. It was alleged that the father used to rape both minor daughters. The younger daughter, who was 10-years-old then, narrated this to her neighbour who was a relative of the landlady.
The relative and the landlady then took the children to the police station and subsequently, the father was arrested.
A total of 10 witnesses deposed in the court, including the younger daughter, landlady and their neighbour. In the cross examination, the daughter accepted that she along with her sister and brother were living with paternal grandmother in different part of the city. Their father was not staying with them. She then informed the court that the father would pick them up and drop them at the school, and was a caring father.
On the other hand, the landlady failed to identify the accused in court as her former tenant. She said she did not know the person to whom her room was given on rent.
Father's Statement
The father throughout denied the allegations and argued that a false case was filed against him as he was strict with his daughters.
Mumbai Court
At the outset, the court pointed out that all three – the child, landlady and the neighbour had given different versions of the alleged sexual assault.
The court added that the medical evidence did not support the victim's version of multiple penetrative sexual assaults by her father. The court then said before coming to reside in a rented room along with her father and sister, she was residing with her paternal grandmother. The court remarked:
She is closer to her grandmother than her father. Under such circumstances, natural conduct of victim would be to disclose the incident of sexual assault to her grandmother but, she remained silent for two months and all of a sudden disclosed the matter to her neighbour and room owner. This behavior of the victim girl appears strange and unconvincing.
The court also questioned why the child had remained silent for two months before revealing the incident to her neighbour.
The court then referred to the minor girl's testimony that the father was taking care of their everyday needs. The court concluded,
From this cross-examination, it is clear that the accused was the caring father when the victim and her sister were staying with him.

Samsung moves to 8nm for 5G RF
Samsung Electronics has launched an 8nm process technology for 5G radio frequency (RF) designs with a new transistor design that gives a 35 percent reduction in size and power consumption.
This 8nm process node will enable single chip designs for 5G communications with support for multi-channel and multi-antenna chip designs in the sub-6GHz and millimetre wave frequency bands. Current RF designs are currently built on 28nm and 14nm processes and the company has shipped 500m mobile RF chips for premium smartphones since 2017.
"Through excellence in innovation and process manufacturing, we've reinforced our next-generation wireless communication offerings," said Hyung Jin Lee, Master of Foundry Technology Development Team at Samsung Electronics. "As 5G mmWave expands, Samsung's 8nm RF will be a great solution for customers looking for long battery life and excellent signal quality on compact mobile devices."
To overcome the challenges of scaling 5G RF and analogue designs, Samsung says it has developed a unique transistor architecture for 8nm that it called RFextremeFET (RFeFET). This provides a 35 percent increase in power efficiency with a 35 percent decrease in the RF chip area compared to the 14nm process.
This provides comparable scaling to digital transistors to enable single chip designs, says Samsung.
Last week rival foundry TSMC announced a 6nm RF process called N6RF aimed at 5G RF transceivers for both sub-6 gigahertz and millimetre wave designs as well as WiFi6E. This is the next step from the current 16nm RF process at TSMC.

What Are Your Children Making Today? Making Garlic Bread - at Three Years
What are your children making today? It's a cold day and we are having friends over for dinner. So I was thinking of making homemade pizza. What goes best with homemade pizza? It has to be homemade garlic bread!
I enlisted my three-year-old to help. Garlic bread doesn't need a recipe but I wanted to show you our steps. Just to say, we can, if we have the time, we can include our young children in the making and baking but also we can include them in hosting, in demonstrating hospitality towards our guests.
Otto (3yrs) couldn't do this all independently. Luckily he has older brothers to help. We get him started on each bread slice, but once we've broken through the crust, he slices the rest himself. I've used a food-safe (decorating) pen to make markings for even bread slices.
Then he mixes garlic, fresh parsley and butter to make the garlic butter.
He needs more help here to mix it smoothly.
Spreading garlic butter onto the bread. Ok, a little messy. Otto insists on wiping his fingers each time he gets butter on them. This is much harder than it looks. The child has to hold the bread slices open and then get the butter in there.
Then wrap in foil.
A good thing about garlic bread is that you (and your child) can make it earlier in the day and keep it in the fridge until later in the day, or use it the next day.
We made two loaves. Into the oven.
Wow. It was delicious. I think any guest would love this with their pizza especially knowing it was made with love and care!

BANGKOK - Thailand's goal of becoming South-east Asia's leading trading centre for digital assets has suffered a setback, following moves by regulators to tighten rules in the wake of trading irregularities and the collapse of a major acquisition involving a crypto exchange.
Trading of cryptocurrencies on Thailand's licensed exchanges slumped to 64 billion baht (S$2.5 billion) in August, the least since December 2020, according to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) data.
The country was the first in the region to implement digital asset legislation in 2018, which helped attract droves of so-called millennials to put their money into cryptocurrencies.
The SEC licensed six platforms as exchanges, including Bitkub Capital Group Holdings and Zipmex Thailand. Bitkub founder and chief executive officer Jirayut Srupsrisopa even became a pop-culture icon as a frequent guest on TV shows and YouTube, with his face plastered on highway billboards.
The SEC's 8.5 million baht fine against a Bitkub executive last month for insider trading and a police complaint earlier this week against Zipmex and its CEO sent shudders through a market already unnerved by the global crypto rout. The SEC also plans a working group to enhance supervision of digital assets to boost investor protection.
The stricter oversight, experts said, has compounded the blows from beyond Thailand: the plunge in Bitcoin, Ether and other tokens, as well as meltdowns of crypto lender Celsius Network, broker Voyager Digital and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.
"Most investors and market players are extremely deflated with negative headlines almost every day," said Thai Digital Asset Association secretary-general Nares Laopannarai. "Rising regulatory risks will make it harder to restore the excitement in the market, which has already been hit by weakening global sentiment."
The number of active trading accounts in Thailand fell to 246,000 in August, about a third of the tally in January.
SCB X, a financial group in which Thailand's royal family is a major shareholder, last month scrapped its 18 billion baht plan to buy a majority of Bitkub Online, citing the exchange operator's ongoing issues with regulators.
"The collapse of digital asset prices has wiped out a vast amount of wealth among Thai investors," said Kasikornbank executive vice-president Karin Boonlertvanich. "The realisation of bubble price risk will scare those people for quite some time to come."
Some Thai companies have also been scarred by their foray into crypto. Shares of Jasmine Technology Solution have plunged more than 80 per cent from their peak in April on its increased investment in Bitcoin mining. Its stock is now one of the worst-performing among global telecommunications equipment companies this year after being a world leader in 2021.
To be sure, some are still betting on growth in the crypto market. Gulf Energy Development, Thailand's biggest private power producer, has doubled down on its plans for expanding into digital asset businesses to diversify earnings. The company, controlled by Thailand's second-richest person Sarath Ratanavadi, is seeking licences from the SEC to operate a digital asset exchange and brokerage in partnership with Binance Holdings.
"We are confident about the potential for cryptocurrencies and digital assets as the world moves further and further into blockchain technology and related ecosystems," Gulf Energy chief financial officer Yupapin Wangviwat said in an interview last month. "Tokens with underlying assets will compliment the transformations of most companies." BLOOMBERG

Coral Island, also known as Koh Hae or Ko He, is a beautiful getaway located just 3 kilometers southeast of Phuket, Thailand. This tropical paradise can be reached within 15 minutes by speedboat from Rawai Beach in south Phuket, making it a popular destination for day-trippers. Whether you spend half a day or a full day on the island, there is plenty to do, including playing on the beach, snorkeling, and even scuba diving. Even during low season, there are plenty of activities to enjoy.
The color of the sea around Coral Island is truly unique and worth seeing for yourself. The island has two main beaches – Long Beach and Banana Beach – both of which offer excellent snorkeling opportunities. Snorkeling off Banana Beach is an exciting experience, and if you venture out far enough from Long Beach, you'll also discover an impressive coral reef.
While the island is peaceful and calm at night, it can get quite busy during the day. The extremities of both beaches offer a chance to escape the crowds and find some quiet. Deck chairs and sun loungers are available for rent, although they are often included with day tours. The Coral Island Resort usually includes lunch with their day tours, but those visiting on their own can easily find a restaurant on the island.
Long Beach
Long Beach on Coral Island is a stunning destination with beautiful white sand and crystal clear blue water. Located off the coast of Phuket, Thailand, the beach is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and participating in water activities such as banana boat rides, parasailing, and snorkeling. Beach scuba diving is also available.
Coral Island Resort is located on Long Beach, and offers the opportunity to stay in a bungalow right on the sand (subject to availability). The beach is also home to several restaurants and bars, providing plenty of options for dining and refreshments.
In the past, Long Beach has suffered from mass tourism, but recent efforts have helped to improve the quality of the sand and surroundings. The beach is now a peaceful and relaxing destination, with plenty of shade provided by trees and a gentle breeze blowing through.
Day trips to Long Beach can be booked from any tour counter in Phuket, and often include a speedboat, lunch, and snorkeling equipment for around 1,700 baht per person. Alternatively, you can drive to Chalong pier and join a boat departing from there.
Banana Beach
Banana Beach on Coral Island was once a secluded and quiet destination, with just a few abandoned restaurants and longtail boats. Today, however, the beach has become a major tourist attraction, with several large restaurants and shops catering to a constant flow of tourists arriving by speedboats starting at 9:30 in the morning.
Upon arriving at Banana Beach, tourists are assigned a beach chair in a dedicated row and given an orientation speech outlining the day's activities and the cost of each activity. The package typically includes boat transfer, snorkeling gear, and a buffet lunch.
If you arrive with the first speedboat of the day, you may have the beach to yourself for a brief period. However, as more boats arrive and disembark more tourists, the beach can become crowded and loud, with many visitors taking selfies and dressing up for the occasion. While many Asian tourists seem to enjoy this fully assisted and crowded way of spending the day on the beach, it may not be to everyone's taste.
If you want to spend a day on Banana Beach and participate in the various activities available, you can easily book a tour from any street agency or hotel. The cost is usually around 2,200 baht and includes hotel transfer to Chalong Pier, a boat ride, snorkeling equipment, a lunch set, and a beach chair.
What to do in Coral Island
There are many things to do on Coral Island, depending on your interests and preferences. Some options include:
- Snorkeling and diving: Coral Island is home to a stunning array of marine life, making it a great destination for snorkeling and diving. You can explore the coral reefs and encounter a variety of fish, coral, and other sea creatures.
- Beach activities: The island's white sandy beaches are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and building sandcastles. You can also play beach games such as volleyball or Frisbee, or just relax on a beach chair and soak up the sun.
- Boat tours: There are several boat tours available from Coral Island that take you to some of the most beautiful spots on the Great Barrier Reef. You can choose from half-day or full-day tours, and some even include a visit to a nearby island for a picnic lunch.
- Fishing: If you enjoy fishing, you'll love the opportunity to try your hand at catching some of the abundant marine life around Coral Island. You can hire a boat and set off on your own, or join a guided fishing tour.
- Relaxation: If you're looking to relax and unwind, Coral Island is the perfect place. You can book a massage or beauty treatment at one of the island's spas, or simply sit back and watch the sunset with a cold drink in hand.
Other activities: Depending on the specific location of Coral Island and the amenities available, you may also have the opportunity to try other activities
How to get to Coral Island
There are several ways to reach Coral Island, also known as Koh Hae or Ko He, located off the coast of Phuket, Thailand. One option is to rent a long-tail boat from either Rawai Beach or Chalong Pier. This is a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to reach the island, and allows you to explore at your own pace.
Alternatively, you can book a snorkeling trip from Chalong that includes transport to the island by speedboat. This option is ideal if you want to reach the island quickly, and includes a snorkeling mask and fins, as well as a buffet lunch. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes by speedboat.
If you arrive at Long Beach but want to visit Banana Beach, there is a trail at the eastern end of Long Beach that leads through the jungle. The hike takes about 15 minutes on uneven surfaces and may not be suitable for the elderly or those with small children.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave assurances to the European Union to respect the rule of law, judicial independence and the separation of powers amid the government's move to draft a controversial judicial bill in response to an ongoing graft probe.
"We have followed the events closely, and I have today relayed the European concerns to Prime Minister Erdoğan as an honest friend and partner. I was quite happy during the discussion because Prime Minister Erdoğan, in a very frank and open manner, addressed all the issues and gave us reassurances," European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso said during a press statement in Brussels Jan. 21.
Both Barosso and EU President Herman van Rompuy said during the press conference that the EU has been closely following the developments since the launch of raids as part of the graft probes on Dec. 17, 2013.

Bully alert
This Twitter account spoils tomorrow's 'Wordle' for no good reason
Is it really that difficult to just let people enjoy things?
Wordle is a simple, free online game with a devoted fanbase, so of course, someone's come along with plans to stomp all over it. In this case, the ruination comes in the form of a Twitter account that purposefully spoils the next day's answer for anyone tweeting about Wordle.
The person behind the account, which goes by @wordlinator on Twitter, is currently unknown. The bot has been searching out people who tweet about Wordle just to respond with discouraging messages and spoilers for tomorrow's word. "Guess what," the account tweeted. "People don't care about your mediocre linguistic escapades."
There's some good news here, though, which is that the Wordlinator account has been suspended just days after it first began its witch hunt. But it's also been revived more than once already. Tread carefully, Wordlers.
The danger of reverse engineering — The Extremely Online often find themselves completely unable to enjoy something fun without poking and prodding at it — which is how we now understand exactly how Wordle ticks. Software engineer Robert Reichel posted earlier this month on his website that he'd discovered a method by which to reverse engineer Wordle's algorithm to figure out the answer without actually, you know, playing the game.
Reichel essentially found that a client-side algorithm determines the Wordle of the day by choosing from a static wordlist. By piecing together a series of variables, he demonstrates exactly how to find the day's word. He later found he could follow a similar method to find the next day's Wordle answer, too.
Just let people enjoy things — Wordlinator is struggling to find a foothold on Twitter, but it's telling that the account hasn't been outright banned. And Reichel's source material is still available for anyone to play around with.
Spoilers are always frustrating, but this case is exceptional in that Wordle is just about the most harmless trend in recent memory. Its creator is not trying to make any money with annoying ads. It's free and available right in your web browser. If seeing people post about it bothers you, Twitter makes it very, very easy to mute the word "Wordle." There is truly no reason scenario we can think of in which it would be appropriate to hold such a heavy grudge against a free word game.
Between copycat apps and vengeance-seeking Twitter accounts, everyone is trying to capitalize on the Wordle craze in their own twisted way. Not us. We'll just be over here minding our business, guessing at five-letter words until the end of time.

Full Sun
Late Spring
Grows 18-24" tall
Plant 4-6" apart, 4-6" deep
USDA Zones:
Grow as Perennial in zones 5-9. Grow as Annual elsewhere.
Growing Instructions
Plant in the fall, before the first frost hardens the soil. Dig a hole to the required depth. Place bulb in hole, pointed side up. Cover with soil and water thoroughly. Mulch in extreme climates.
For container planting, bury the bulb three times as deep as the bulb is wide. In zones 6 and below, you will need to protect your bulb containers. Place them near the foundation of the house or other structure. In zones 3-5, place the container in an unheated garage or shed.
After blooming, leave the bulbs in place so plants can clump or reseed. Divide only when containers or planting spaces become too crowded. Propagate in the fall by division after they have been chilled for four weeks in a moist medium.
Care Tip
Dutch iris bulbs can be planted in spring or fall. Select a planting site that has reasonably fertile soil and plenty of moisture that will not allow the bulbs to dry out in summer. Good drainage and a sheltered location will help them survive the winter to return for years to come. Best planted in large groups of 15 bulbs per square foot. It is recommended that gardeners in zone 5 should add a 2" layer of mulch in fall.

UK seeks to lock in legal services market in Mexico
International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan and her Mexican counterpart Secretary of Economy Tatiana Clouthier met in London to formally launch negotiations.
Our president Stephanie Boyce made a statement supporting the negotiations.
She said: "we welcome the start of these trade negotiations, as Mexico is a priority market in the Latin America region for our members."
The deal highlights the commercial opportunities available there for law firms, particularly in sectors such as:
- banking and finance
- insurance
- reinsurance
- infrastructure
- energy
- telecommunications
- fintech
"A trade agreement with modernised provisions on services and digital assets will help drive increased trade and provide opportunities for our members."
We worked to ensure that market access for legal services is a priority in the FTA negotiations by:
- contributing to the UK government's prior consultations
- working closely with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ)
- collaborating with members and law firms with an interest in the Mexican legal services market
We will continue to monitor the negotiations to make sure that the agreement is of the greatest benefit to our members.

Q: Filing from chapter 13 to chapter 7 issues.
Currently I am going through a bankruptcy and have filed for chapter 13. A few months ago my attorney said I could take means test and file for chapter 7. After a few weeks they stated I passed the test and could file for chapter 7.
My attorney told me I needed to pay $1925 for fees to transfer to chapter 7. So I sent the money. After a few weeks I didn't hear anything so I reached out. They told me they ran into some issues and needed more paperwork (paycheck stubs). About a month later I requested the money back since I was never converted. They told me " we were still working on it please be patient". Two months later I still haven't received the money and they are not giving any clear details.
Please help me I don't know what's going on or what to do…
A: Schedule an in office appointment with your attorney and have all your questions ready. If they don't give you an appointment, demand your money back.

It's called "Game Over" and was written by the two ladies who have written the two previous children's plays we had acted in, "Koutornithia" and "The big Boom" and also the adult play "Griothesia", Ioanna Katsarou and Afrodite Ioannou. The former also directed the play.
This Saturday after a year of rehearsals (which I admit I am not sorry I missed) Game Over premiered at a local theatre and we went to watch it.
It was very good!
It's the story of many heroes of various computer games that get mixed up and get chased by the viruses of a computer.
Of course as all children's plays there is a happy ending and a moral that if we cooperate we can win the enemy, whoever that might be!
And of course there were beautiful colourful costumes, and singing and dancing!
We are still members of the team and the adult play will continue to be presented from time to time.
