We all have the drum major instinct. We all want to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade…. And the great issue of life is to harness the drum major instinct.

Shall we be cultured aesthetes and dilly dally with our jobs or put on our dungarees and learn the significance of architecture by laying stone and brick for awhile, mixing mortar and sawing wood. Learn of the strength and durability of materials; know of society and its myriad needs and aspirations. Read fairy stories; read Keats, Shelley and Whitman. Absorb a sound and understanding knowledge of the incredible inventions of our day and go to it. There are no fixed formulas; no dry standards; no such thing as composition. There is only one thing to achieve and that is an architectural organism. Composition is dead; an organization is alive… vivid… responsive to conditions; and eloquent of the spiritual association of function and form. Travel the frank and courageous road whereon may be seen the real contributions to ages gleaming in the sunshine. – George Grant Elmslie

There are two kinds of geniuses: the 'ordinary' and the 'magicians'. An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson

I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening, When I counted my scanty store.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. – Oprah
We attract to ourselves what we hold inside. Every circumstance, every person, and every situation that we attract and experience is based on what is inside of us. Could you ask for a more magnificant system than this? Your life is a reflection of what you hold inside you, and what you hold inside you is always under your control. – The Secret Daily Teachings
I live in the space of thankfulness – and I have been rewarded a million times over for it. I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased. That's because what you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life. – Oprah

Just as a crying child will use increasingly extreme measures to get attention, the body will heighten your cravings and create disease if you don't listen to it. – Joshua Rosenthal
Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day. – Emerson
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. – W. H. Murray

My Darling Morag – Only 100 Words
My Darling Morag
In a fit of magical rage, an act of indignant revenge, I cursed my darling Morag for her infidelity. I transformed my wife, whom I still love, into this docile bovine creature. She was once a beautiful red head, wild and feisty in her youth, see how she has matured to a tough and horny beast.
Each morning I stroke her head and I cringe at my rash decision – I kiss her sloppy nose and I promise, I will return to Hogwarts and complete my wizardly training.
First, I must deal with Angus. I'm thinking, perhaps a slimy fire-bellied toad.

Auctions of Last Resort
Auctions of Last Resort are described as the final resolution mechanism for contention sets under ICANN's New gTLD Program. Section 4.3 of the Applicant Guidebook states in part:
It is expected that most cases of contention will be resolved by the community priority evaluation, or through voluntary agreement among the involved applicants. Auction is a tie-breaker method for resolving string contention among the applications within a contention set, if the contention has not been resolved by other means.[1]
ICANN auctions are different from private auctions, although either type might use the same basic methodology. One distinguishing factor is that ICANN auctions generate funds for ICANN. A Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds was established to determine what to do with funds raised by auctions of last resort.

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia wants to become the first U.S. city to allow supervised drug injection sites as a way to combat the opioid epidemic, officials announced Tuesday. They said they are seeking outside operators to establish one or more in the city.
Public Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said the sites could be "a life-saving strategy and a pathway to treatment," and would be just one piece of the city's overall plan to fight the epidemic.
"No one here condones or supports illegal drug use in any way," Farley said. "We want people saddled with drug addiction to get help."
Safe injection sites are locations where people can shoot up under the supervision of a doctor or nurse who can administer an overdose antidote if necessary. Critics have argued the sites may undermine prevention and treatment, and seem to

TL;DR Breakdown
- The Polygon price analysis is bullish.
- Resistance for MATIC is found at $2.65.
- MATIC/USD is currently trading at $2.34.
In yesterday's analysis, we saw the Polygon price analysis was bullish as it broke through several resistances. It is currently trading at $2.34, which looks quite promising as the bulls are attempting to push the MATIC/USD pair up further by clearing through some critical resistances. According to our price prediction, the first hurdle for this cryptocurrency is found at $2.65, where it may face some strong resistance.
If it manages to clear this resistance, momentum is expected to surge, and MATIC/USD could rally towards $3 in the near term, completing an ascending broadening wedge.
The RSI oscillator is at 51 today, after touching 38 on December 24, 2018. This has been a significant decrease from those days, which could be seen as bearish or bullish depending on what happened next – in this case, it's clear that bulls are back in command for now.
The Stochastic Oscillator is showing positive divergence today to its last observed value on December 24, 2021. The bullish momentum may explode again to drive the price further up if this divergence remains constant.
The Polygon Price Analysis shows a longer-term bullish trend, which was confirmed when the price broke through its last resistance at $2.65. There is no reason to doubt that bulls will continue to push for higher prices in MATIC/USD today despite the overvaluation of the cryptocurrency market.
The Polygon Price Analysis is bullish even if there are corrections within this day because it still shows good signs overall. The price prediction also implies many gains ahead, but after reaching new highs, traders may want to take some profit off their table before further rises in MATIC/USD.
MATIC/USD 4-hour price analysis chart: Latest developments
The bulls came into play after the bears took over on April 17 and drove the price to $2.31 today. The RSI has fallen to index 47 in the mid-region of neutral territory, indicating that some bearish buyers are ready to take control. Besides this, there has been a bullish trend since January 1. Bulls may push for resistance at $2.35 again before they drive the price higher to challenge resistance at $2.62 next. If they fail here, a pullback might ensue towards support at $1.91 again before another rally begins in earnest for MATIC/USD.
The price of a Polygon worsened today, but selling pressure was also noted late at night, according to the most recent Polygon price analysis. However, for today, the trending line has been pointing towards the bull side, and it is continuing to move in the same direction as bulls have made a strong comeback. The past four days' losses have been recovered.
As a result of this overwhelming market move, the price has stayed above the moving average as well, which is at $2.13, and it's also gone over the top end of the Bollinger bands, indicating high volatility for MATIC. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI score has been going up and is on an ascent slope now at index 63.
Polygon Price Analysis: Conclusion
It is evident from the one-day and four-hour Polygon price analysis that the cryptocurrency is in a favorable position when compared to recent days. MATIC/USD is likely to rise even more in the coming hours, but some retracement is also expected as the price approaches $2.35 resistance. After overcoming said barrier, we anticipate MATIC/USD to recover back into its previous range.

I was lucky enough to score an REU last summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If, given the choice, should I choose the position that is similar to what I did last year or something different; i.e., which would look better for grad school applications? Also, since I got one last year, am I more, less, or similarly likely to get an REU this year?
What do you think?

Latest: Dubai school confirms closure blaming Covid-19 impact
The UAE's new academic year will start on August 30, the Minister of Education has announced.
Hussain Al Hammadi said administrative and teaching staff would begin work a week earlier on August 23.
It has not yet been established how lessons will be organised, although some private schools say they are planning to potentially deliver a mixture of remote learning and classroom teaching. No official announcement has been made in regards to public and private schools yet.
Mr Al Hammadi put the success of the nation's remote learning programme, triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, down to the "forward-thinking policy" of UAE leaders and the "commitment of students and their parents".
"Education remains a top priority and national objective, and therefore our leadership has directed to apply the distance education system under the current circumstances so that our students won't lose track and miss one single day from their academic year," he said.
Last week, an online meeting organised by the Education Business Group, a UAE association representing more than 100 private schools, discussed how the country could return more than 800,000 pupils to the classroom.
Headteachers and school operators urged the authorities to look at easing regulations and support schools as they sought to return to normal operations.
Speaking at the meeting, Ajay Mankani, director of Fortes Holdings, which runs schools and nurseries across the country, claimed the sector needed financial help and fewer regulations.
"We are asking for support from the government. We are asking for flexibility in choosing our operating models," he said.
Mr Mankani also said schools needed "flexibility in terms of our human resource practices".
"Our human resource expenses are 60 to 70 per cent, so we need flexibility to perhaps furlough staff and decide how we manage our staff, while keeping with the regulations of the UAE".
