Madeeha Mehmood gets her energy from other people, getting groups together and ensuring that everyone thrives. Working as a receptionist in a hotel, being a tour guide on the canal boats in Copenhagen, being a social chairperson for Military Spouses of Newport. "Being this social and always loving other people's company while having a desire to seek harmony and that everyone is doing well, I sometimes feel like I have a 6th sense for other people's emotions."
"These people had the entire country, system, laws, and people against them, and still they won. When the opportunity arose to learn from that movement, I had to participate."
Madeeha knew about the Civil Rights Movement and always thought of it as a huge success in terms of grassroots organizing, community work, outreach, politics, and activism. She finds, "These people had the entire country, system, laws, and people against them, and still they won. When the opportunity arose to learn from that movement, I had to participate."
The Fellowship in Atlanta was especially impactful for Madeeha. She recalls Dr. Karcheik Sims-Alvarado teaching her how to identify the "blueprint" of a successful social movement and how to apply it to other causes. Madeeha has used this blueprint many times since in her work as an organizer and on political campaigns. Rep. John Lewis spoke to the Fellows about his own life and story and what motivates him to keep fighting.
"And most importantly, John Lewis explained to us what it meant to get in good trouble. I always remember that. 'Good trouble'. It is probably the one thing from the Fellowship I have repeated the most."
For her Action Project, Madeeha created "Dragør Democracy Day, 2016." Dragør Democracy Day was a big simulation, similar to Mock Court or the Model United Nations, where 200 9th grade students from the Danish city of Dragør got together and simulated political processes at the European Parliament. The topic on her agenda was the European refugee reception crisis. They were assigned roles such as MEPs, activists, and journalists. The simulation taught them about democracy, compromise, the power of media and activists in decision making. It allowed them to understand how European democracy worked or didn't work. Madeeha wanted to give young people a chance to understand how and where decisions are made and what young people can do to participate in and impact decision-making processes beyond the nation-state.
"Once you learn how to see injustice, you can't unsee it."
Following the success of the project, Madeeha decided to start a consultancy firm that offered Democracy Day to other schools and has implemented a permanent program in three other schools. The company has been a huge success and after it was successfully off the ground, Madeeha began to seek out other opportunities. Madeeha joined the teams of two political campaigns: Rufus Gifford for Congress and Ged Carbone for Mayor in Warwick, Rhode Island, learning along the way the challenges and joys of grassroots campaigning.
On what inspires her, Madeeha says, "Keeping myself busy, always working to be a better person, learning new things and changing a bad habit. Young people inspire me. Those younger than me, fighting the Climate Change battle or for gun reform in the U.S., They have fire in their eyes. It is amazing to see. I worked on Bernie Sanders' political campaign in the U.S. in 2015/2016 and I remember him talking about getting young people fired up. He certainly did."
"I identify a lot with my own generation. I am proud of what we have achieved and will continue to. But it warms my heart to see the next generation taking it to the next level."

7 Steps to Creating a Must-Read Church Bulletin

Building a healthy church take time, attention, and a huge reliance on God through Faith. As we approach the new year, be sure to focus on Christ!
December 29, 2017
New Year's may be just another day off for you. But it doesn't have to be. You can use this season of change to draw yourself, your church, and your community closer to Christ.
Here are three ways you can get ready for the new year.
New Year's is a mixed bag of emotions. When you think about your previous year, you may feel shame or guilt or excitement and hope.
Regardless of how you feel about last year, it's important you take the time to reflect.
Now, if you think this past year was a success or failure, it's important to set your eyes on the Lord and his faithfulness toward you (even if you cannot see or feel it). In time, the Lord will work everything together for good (Rom. 8:28). So, the best response as you reflect upon the previous year can be one of thankfulness.
If anything, the new year is a reminder of old sins and new beginnings. As the new year approaches, seek renewal in Christ through reading the Bible, prayer, and participating in the life of your local church. Allow the Lord to do an in-depth work in your soul.
The New Year's holiday naturally brings with it the idea of new resolutions. Before committing yourself personally or your church to new plans, prayerfully and patiently move forward.
If you can, get away for a few days or longer to seek the Lord in prayer (be sure to read 7 Ways Pastors Can Take a Break on a Budget). Taking time off will give you the opportunity to receive inspiration from the Lord for the ideas you have.
What is more, for your personal goals, invite your family and friends into the process. Give them the opportunity to speak into what you're doing. For your church, be sure to invite your church's leadership into the process. By giving your leadership an opportunity to speak into your plans, you will provide them with a greater sense of ownership.
What are you praying for in the new year? Share your ideas in the comments below!

Parks. A very good start, and literally any park in Warsaw. The city has so many of them (our favourites are Pole Mokotowskie and Skaryszewski Park), and they're all fairly big, so you'll always find a plethora of people walking around enjoying the season just like you – families taking the kids and dogs out for pleasant strolls. And despite the no.s, you'll still have a fair amount of personal space to not feel crowded. The top tip from us, wherever you go, is to simply walk around. Warsaw's transportation system may be well connected, but the charm of walking is made all the better with all the sights you'll see on foot. Ya just can't get that same vibe looking through a bus or tram window!
If you liked our front cover, it's because we chose it for a damn good reason – to highlight one of the best locations to go anytime of the year, but especially during the fall season – Łazienki Park. The local inhabitants, mainly squirrels, are rushing around preparing for winter, and they're simply beyond cute. They have no fear to approach you, so don't leave them disappointed, come prepared and hand over some nuts!
If you're in Warsaw for a visit, the likelihood is you'll follow the Royal Route, and this is perfect, for the top destinations along the way look great in Autumn, but there are also some less visited and hidden charms which you may not have known about. We'll assume a starting position of the Old Town leading to Łazienki Park. Along the way you can walk, ride a bike, or choose to get off public transport one stop earlier – this is a top option on the way to Łazienki to see Ujazdowski Park. The park itself is overshadowed by its larger neighbour Łazienki, however, it is still a charming detour where you can enjoy the quiet, or if you have kids, let them run riot in the play area. But this isn't the main reason we suggest coming here – directly behind the park is a unique set of 27 buildings which make up Osiedle Jazdów (Jazdów estate) which was the first to be built after the destruction of World War 2. But there's more to it than that, as these are small wooden Finnish houses (the wood imported from Russia as part of war reparations which Finland was forced to pay the Soviet Union) built in 1945 to house the workers and architects of the Warsaw Reconstruction Office (Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy, BOS). They were only intended to be temporary, to last no more than 5 years, however, years later, many are still standing, and were added to the national list of historic monuments in 2017. Today, you can walk along the streets named Jazdów and John Lennon (who's he?); some of the houses are residential and cannot be visited, however, there is a great community iniatiative called 'Otwarty Jazdów' (Open Jazdów) which offers a social, cultural and ecological programme. This is a great place for artists, students, urban gardeners and even beekeepers. It all feels completely out of place being in the city centre, but that's exactly why it's quirky, unique, and worth seeing.
From here, you can easily walk across the bridge which leads to Ujazdowski Castle, just visible in the distance. Most times we've been here, we've had the opportunity to encounter squirrels scurrying between the two parks, and we'll admit to even feeling a bit like Dr Dolittle once providing some walnuts to the little critters! Now, you can check out our Łazienki Park section to get right into the autumn vibe, so take full advantage of it. To continue on the Royal Route, the next stop is Wilanów, which again, we've covered in-depth and provided a map for you to navigate around the area. The palace is the draw, and for any keen photographers, the cheerful yellow of the building blends in perfectly with the surrounding autumnal pallete. Enjoy the park and gardens here, and we guarantee you won't be disappointed...well... as long as it doesn't rain!
Heading back to the city centre, the Vistulan Boulevards, although mainly associated with riverside summer living, are no less impressive in Autumn. The left bank is a land of concrete, but looking across the river, the wilder east side is all natural, the tree leaves fading to the golden browns we love. You have a choice, to continue along the boulevards and reach the Warsaw University Library & Gardens, an attraction in themselves, but the autumnal colours here not only include golden brown but beautiful shades of red! The rooftop garden canopy (available to see until the end of October) is a highlight. From the heights of the rooftop you have a great view of the city centre and Old Town, but more importantly, of the Praga district just across the river. The entre district is worth visiting, but for that laid back autumnal vibe, head to Skaryszewski Park next to the PGE National Stadium before heading to the charming highlight of the Saska Kępa district – ul. Francuska. Chilled out all times of the year, the stunning tree lined main street is a worthwhile wander, where you can pop into cafes or feast on some seasonal Polish dishes in the fantastic Dom Polski restaurant. The surrounding area is littered with villas and architectural delights, all found on the tree lined side streets – crunchy leaves everywhere!
If walking around is not ideal for you, perhaps you're the active type who enjoys riding bikes, and for those wishing to go further afield should consider wooded/forested areas to the north such as (Las = forest) Las Bielański, Las Młociński and even Kampinos Forest. All can be reached by bike paths, and once there, long trails await, and of course, they look great as the golden leaves fall.
For something altogether different, if you're in Warsaw, or indeed Poland, on/around 01 November, All Saints' Day (Dzień Wszystkich Świętych) and 02 November, All Souls' Day (Dzień Zaduszny), consider visiting a cemetery. As odd as that sounds, this is a visually stunning and touching couple of days when Poles remember their deceased loved ones, and believe us, they take it very seriously. Cemeteries across the country are covered in commemorative candle lamps, which make the areas look like a sea of candelight. The best place to witness this is the huge Powązki Cemetery. Prepare to be humbled.
If/when you are in Warsaw, the weather isn't quite as crispy as you'd hoped, and more wet and squidgy, don't worry, there's still plenty to see and do indoors, which you can read all about in our sightseeing sections and leisure & activity section. We at Warsaw IYP have got you covered for all meteorlogical outcomes! Enjoy your time in Warsaw!

MailChimp, the fast-growing Atlanta email marketing company, unwittingly played a part in an international cybercrime that recently led to federal indictments against three men.
The company was among several whose legitimate services, prosecutors say, were used to send spam to millions of email addresses, occassionally luring recipients into paying for bogus products such as fake security keys for software access to software suites (think: Adobe).
MailChimp helps customers reach large groups. The alleged schemers used addresses stolen from other such companies, along with sometimes bilked billing information, to set up customer accounts and transmit malicious email, said Valerie Warner Danin, MailChimp's general counsel and privacy officer.
"To be clear, our system was not breached, no data loss occurred, and no servers or databases were compromised," she said in a statement.
Warner Danin added that MailChimp, among other victim companies, helped the feds uncover the alleged scam after noticing supsicious activity. The scheme netted roughly $2 million dollars in ill-gotten gains, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta said this month.
Two of the men indicted — one described as a hacker and the other a skilled spammer — are Vietnamese but operated at some point from the Netherlands, according to the indictments. One has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit computer fraud after being extradated to the United States. The other is a fugitive.
The third, a Canadian who helped on the financial end of the scheme, was recently arrested at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. He was arraigned earlier this month.
At least one other email service provider in Georgia got caught up in the deception, the U.S. Attorney's office said. The indictment did not name any of them.
Warner Danin told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that MailChimp believes that between 2008 and March 2012 someone used its services to send spam to at least 2 million email addresses.
It worked something like this, according to both the indictment and Warner Danin:
First, tens of millions of email addresses were stolen from several companies — one of which was Texas email giant Epsilon, the blog KrebsOnSecurity recently reported — through phishing attacks against employees. They enabled one of the suspects to gain access to some of the companies' computer systems and email addresses.
The crooks then started to send out spam. In the process, they created legitimate MailChimp accounts using convincing customer credentials, enabling them to send emails via the service.
"When we detected the illegal activity we stopped sending the emails immediately," Warner Danin said in the statement. "The accounts in our system that these messages were sent from were either fraudulently created or taken over through the end user."
Email service provider customers, such as auto makers or retailers, upload lists of email addresses they collect. The providers then send marketing emails on the clients' behalf to tell customers about promotions or deals, and they are adept at making sure getting such messages past spam folders and into inboxes. The AJC uses MailChimp to distribute email newsletters on Georgia politics and Atlanta air travel to people who sign up for them.
Such a service can be valuable to retailers and consumers — but also enticing to spammers.
"When you think of an email service provider, people don't automatically think that we have value. But the truth is: if you have a list of email addresses… then you have a market there," Warner Danin told the AJC in an interview.
She cited the 2011 case in which Epsilon notified its customers — Kroger, Walgreens and Honda among them, according to KrebsOnSecurity — that hackers had stolen email lists.
About that time MailChimp tightened some of its security controls, providing its customers with text message and email security alerts, as well as multifactor authentication, among other such services, according to the cyber security blog NakedSecurity.
Warner Danin said spammers can easily fool consumers if they expect to get emails from a certain place they've shopped.
"If you hear (regularly) from a large company and you get an email from a large company, than maybe you aren't checking the header, you aren't checking the URL. If it's close enough, you'll click," she said.
One reason MailChimp was able to help shut the scheme down, Warner Danin said, was its abuse prevention initiative, Omnivore. The system involves machine learning algorithms constantly churning through emails to gauge the likelihood that they are legitimate.
MailChimp also maintains an email genome project that evaluates new companies looking to send marketing emails as they sign up. Warner Danin said MailChimp has prevented hundreds of thousands of emails from being sent through both its computer tools and an internal review department that has final say on whether to block customers.
In 2013, after the indicted men's alleged last attempt to use MailChimp, the company turned over its customer logs to law enforcement after they were subpoenaed, Warner Danin said.
"We're obviously very glad that this investigation has brought some of these individuals to justice," she said. "And, hopefully, it will indicate to people that these types of crimes have repercussions. That being said, sending spam is something that we'll always have to deal with."

Arrest warrant issued for former Buffalo Chamber CEO
BUFFALO -- An arrest warrant has been issued by the Johnson County Circuit Court for the arrest of Angela N. Fox – formerly the CEO of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce.
Johnson County Prosecuting Attorney has filed three felony theft charges against Fox for making unauthorized personal charges in excess of $8,600 on the Chamber of Commerce's credit cards.
"There's a level of trust in a small community like Johnson County," said Chamber Board Secretary/Treasurer Cindy Kremers. "When that trust is broken, it is devastating. As members of the board, we were all heartbroken. The citizens and businesses of Buffalo had entrusted us with their hospitality, volunteerism and moneys and we failed to safeguard those assets."
Court documents allege that on April 6, 2014 through Nov. 18, 2015, Fox made unauthorized personal charges on the Chamber credit cards in the amount of $3,115.45 – a felony. Count two alleges that felony theft occurred Jan. 7, 2016 through June 9, 2016, also through unauthorized personal charges made on the Chamber credit card in the amount of $3,563. The third count alleges that felony theft through personal charges on the Chamber credit card were made by Fox on or about Jan. 8, 2017 through June 8, 2017, in the amount of $1,945.64.
Each count is felony theft and carries a penalty of not more than 10 years in prison, a fine of not more than a $10,000 or both.
According to the affidavit, Kremers began to investigate the use of a Chamber credit card to pay for liquor at the Occidental Hotel on the night of Fox's wedding to her husband, Thomas Gabrukiewicz, on New Year's Eve 2015.
Kremers and Chamber board member Judi Holmes sat down and reviewed the credit card statements with Fox, comparing line items with calendars and the events. Fox first denied using Chamber funds for her wedding according to the court documents. After more review by Kremers and Holmes, Fox admitted to spending Chamber money on personal items including shoes and at Petco and the Tasting Library in Sheridan, according to the affidavit.
An executive session board meeting was held July 20, 2017, requesting Fox's resignation. During that meeting Fox confessed to using Chamber funds for her wedding but she also told the board that she had made two payments back to the Chamber. Kremers was unable to locate any payment, restitution or deposit that was made or paid back to the Chamber, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, a termination letter was presented to Fox, who agreed to the terms. The board agreed to pay Fox's salary until Aug. 31, 2017, which amounted to $7,075, along with her health insurance until the end of August.
Other charges to the Chamber credit card include a $900 charge to Belle En Blanc, a wedding boutique located in Billings, Montana; a $695 charge to Johan Jewelry; a $1,846 charge to the Occidental Hotel; and a $732 charge to the Roosevelt Hotel and Spa, located in New Orleans. There were also charges for two airline tickets purchased for Fox's husband, Gabrukiewicz, who was not an employee of the Chamber but traveled with Fox, totaling $1,041.60, according to the affidavit.
A forensic audit was completed by Porter, Muirhead, Cornia & Howard, an accounting firm that performs forensic audits.
The results of the audit were summarized in an email to investigators.
"We found charges in the amount of $8,624.09 which appear to represent personal expenses made on Ms. Angela Jarvis Fox's Chamber credit cards without reimbursement being made to the Chamber," Alexandra H. Wilkison, a certified personal accountant, who performed the forensic audit, wrote.
An arrest warrant was issued on Jan. 22, for Fox's arrest. At the time of publication an arrest had not yet been made. According to her Facebook page, Fox is currently living in Cheyenne.

Final Doom Playstation: Official Soundtrack
3 Comments
The Main Theme is the most DooMlyist of all DooM music.
I saw a new DOOM (2016). I want to say that this is not DOOM. It is just another crazy shooter. Why? Because of music. In my opinion, 70% of the uniqueness of the classic DOOM lies in its atmosphere. So, music made this game as we know it. Thus, Aubrey Hodges can be considered one of the main creators of the classic DOOM.
Vinyl… Is it posible?

One day in 2016 while using her humidifying aroma diffuser and reading a book at the same time, she realised that it was not intuitive to put down her book just to swap the aroma or add more water into the diffuser. That moment the idea for Aromeo Diffuser was born - because there had to be a better way to integrate technology into the aromatic and wellness lifestyle. Michelle then invited a group of enthusiastic founders to join her in this journey to bridge wellness and technology.

The staff at every enterprise we were at were fantastic. We picked up a Nissan Rogue in Brevard NC. We had a 14 hour drive to NY, it started raining and the windshield wipers were very jerky, they made terrible noises and would stutter. When we got to Tennessee after driving 2 hours, we hit snow and the windshield wipers stopped working, they would stop right in the middle of the windshield and make a dreadful loud motor noise and not move. We had to turn around and add 1 hour and 45 minutes to our trip because we couldn't make it through the snow and it was coming down. We had to pull over multiple times to pull the wipers up and wait for them to jerk down (it had started raining again so we were trying to see if they would begin working again, they did not). We stopped at Syracuse to see if they had a different vehicle for us to take, they did not. We checked in Oswego NY and the gentleman had a van he gave to us to take. He went above and beyond, giving us a vehicle that was supposed to go to Watertown. It was frustrating to spend so much extra time at Enterprise in other places but the staff were always kind. When we returned to Brevard, we were told the manager would call us to see if there was any reimbursement for our trouble, but we have not been contacted.

Creating an Infectious Skin Parasite in CINEMA 4D and After Effects
By Andy Lefton
Course info
Course info
In this tutorial we will learn how to create a gruesome, yet convincing skin infection. We'll focus on the areas that will help sell our shot and bring realism to our motion tracked footage. We'll begin by looking at the tone of our project and create an effect of skin tearing using CINEMA 4D's cloth module. Then, we will create animated tentacles to give the sense of movement within our wound. Finally, we will hone in on our materials and lighting to make our infection seem life like, then bring it all together in After Effects. By the end of this tutorial, will we have an 'outside of the box' understanding of CINEMA 4D's cloth and a working knowledge of integrating a CG element into a motion tracked plate. Software required: CINEMA 4D 15, After Effects, and Photoshop CC.

Well, this government intends on borrowing eye watering amounts of money. In the net two years alone, if its laughably optimistic figures are to be believed, £381 billion. That is more than ALL OTHER GOVERNMENTS OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE BORROWED PUT TOGETHER!
As if that is not bad enough, the growth figures that future borrowing are based on are very optimistic. The net result is public debt will double.
Lefties the blogosphere over will be saying how this will ensure growth etc.
Rubbish. Firstly the numbers have no credibility in terms of showing how the public finances will be brought back to balance, and so drive up the cost of borrowing. Secondly borrowing is not free money, it is deferred taxation. As the tax rises and spending cuts to pay for it kick in, growth will be reduced.
The government think that growth will end up trending at 3.5%. This is a pipe dream. For a start the last 10 years of growth under Labour have been funded by both public and private debt. That can´t continue, secondly growth will be strangled because the government will have to pay back debt with higher taxes.
In short, we are in a very bad mess.
The BBC has this, with this report on David Cameron´s reaction , whilst Stephany Flanders has this.

From the snarky title, you may think I hate this film, but I promise you, that is the opposite of how I feel.
Every film fan and film student loves it when a new Paul Thomas Anderson film comes out. He's directed six critically acclaimed films (and Inherent Vice), and his style is so unique that you could tell he directed it by watching just a five minute clip with no context. Much like Scorsese, Tarantino, Kubrick and Spielberg, I consider Paul Thomas Anderson one of the great auteurs of our time, and I'm very happy I'm alive during a time when I can see his films in a theater.
Phantom Thread is the story of Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis), a dressmaker well into his 60s, who has a very particular way of living and treating others. He is both eccentric and reclusive, giving off a sort of Charles Foster Kane vibe at times. His very strange way of living is challenged by Alma (Vicky Krieps), a French waitress he meets when going out for breakfast alone one day. From this interaction on, we see Reynolds and Alma develop a very beautiful, complicated, and at times twisted relationship, that is one of the most unique on screen romances portrayed in a very long time.
The title of this review suggests an obvious comparison between this film and Fifty Shades of Grey. It may seem a bit silly to compare a film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson to a film based on Twilight fan-fiction, but there's a reason behind it. When the film was announced, there wasn't a lot of information on the plot. The only description given was that the film would be like an arthouse version of Fifty Shades. That not only sparked my interest, but made me endlessly curious to see what P.T.A would do with this material. After seeing the film, I can say that, while minimal, there are definitely some noticeable ones.
Unlike Fifty Shades, Phantom Thread lacks any sort of kinky sex or smutty writing. Where the similarities lie is in the dynamic of the relationship between Reynolds and Alma. The core of the main relationship in this film is very similar to Fifty Shades. A very rich man takes a poor woman under his wing, and begins grooming her to fit an old of what he desires. When she resists, he becomes obsessed to an unhealthy extent, causing serious drama between the two characters. Does that sound familiar?
But don't let those similarities fool you. Phantom Thread is leagues above Fifty Shades of Grey in storytelling, acting, directing, and pretty much every single element of filmmaking that there is. Where Fifty Shades of Grey completely falls flat is where Phantom Thread shines with flying colors. First off, the performances are absolutely stunning. I was really worried going in that Daniel Day-Lewis would be giving a very stuffy and Oscar bait-ey performance because he's already won three oscars and this would be an easy way to be nominated again, but much to my surprise, he played the role with a great sense of humor. You could really tell Day-Lewis was inside the head of the character, and he really embraced some of the much funnier and kooky aspects of Reynolds Woodcock. Vicky Krieps' performance is also fantastic, and she shares an amazing on-screen chemistry with Daniel Day-Lewis.
Along with that, this movie is flawless aesthetically. I will actually be upset if this doesn't win best costume design or best makeup. The cinematography is beautiful and incredibly unique among the rest of Paul Thomas Anderson's films. The score by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood is beautiful and mesmerizing. And of course, PTA's direction is immaculate as usual. The writing in this film is also very interesting. You really become attached to Reynolds and Alma's relationship, and you want to see how it develops, for better or for worse.
My only issue I have with this movie is that it ends on kind of a strange note. Not to say the ending is bad by any means, it's still good, but if it went on for just a few more minutes, or if the editing was changed around a little bit, it would've been perfect. Still, this film is absolutely intoxicating, and while I do love some of Anderson's other films more than this, it's still amazing, and definitely one of the best films of 2017.

The entire conservative world has been divided by the entrance of Donald Trump into the primary race, and his latest comments are no exception. In this interview with presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina, she explains why what he said was so offensive to women by relating it to her own past experiences with sexism.
Watch below:
Carly is no shrinking violet, and she's not one to use political correctness to try to beat down her opponents. If she's saying that the Donald's words were out of line, it's probably for a good reason.
And yet, given his incredible ability to continuously affront the political world and survive and even thrive on scandal, it'll be really interesting to see if this hurts him at all in the standings.
What do you think? Will this finally being to slow Trump's campaign? Let us know in the comments!

MACON, Ga. – Despite a furious fourth quarter rally, the VMI football team fell by a 34-27 score to host Mercer Saturday evening at Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia.
Down 27-6 heading into the fourth quarter, VMI (4-4, 3-2 SoCon), outscored the Bears 21-7 in the final 15 minutes but could not quite overcome the deficit in the loss. In a game that featured an hour-long weather delay, the Keydets lost just their second Southern Conference game of the season.
Despite the rainy conditions, VMI junior quarterback Reece Udinski broke the FCS record of consecutive passes without an interception held by Jimmy Blanchard of Portland State in 1999 with 344 consecutive passes without a pick. Udinski finished his record-setting day with a 26-of-46 passing effort for 263 yards and one touchdown.
Fresh off his own record-breaking game last week, redshirt junior running back Alex Ramsey gained 125 yards on the ground against the Bears and now has four 100-yard rushing games this season. Ramsey scored his 17th rushing touchdown for the season, tying the school mark set by Thomas Haskins in 1995.
"I think the Mercer Bears did a heck of a job executing," said VMI head coach Scott Wachenheim. "They found a way to make one more play than we did, so hats off to Bobby Lamb and Mercer. I thought our kids did a good job taking care of the football and there were zero turnovers in the game. Our kickoff coverage team did a good job covering against the number one kick return unit in FCS. We never said die and we fought to the bitter end."
Mercer would strike first with a 40-yard field goal by Caleb Dowden. The lead did not last long as VMI's Grant Clemons made back-to-back field goals from 37 and 20 yards after a critical red zone interception by Riuq Trotman to prevent a Mercer score.
Mercer answered with a short touchdown pass from Robert Riddle to freshman Steven Peterson. Dowden would add another big field goal for Mercer to increase their lead before the half.
After an initial stop in the red zone by VMI, Mercer converted a fake field goal for a nine-yard touchdown to continue their lead at the start of the second half. Mercer quarterback replacement, Kaelan Riley, would add a 12-yard touchdown pass to Yahsyn McKee to put Mercer three touchdowns ahead heading into the final quarter.
VMI would answer with a 1-yard run by Alex Ramsey at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Reece Udinski continued the building VMI comeback with a two-yard touchdown to Colby Rider.
Mercer added a 56-yard touchdown run to their lead with three minutes left in the game to regain a two-touchdown deficit for VMI and secure the win. With one-minute remaining VMI's Alex Ramsey scored his second touchdown of the game to put the game within one score.
VMI will take a break next week before hosting Western Carolina for their sixth conference game of the season on November 2. Kickoff will have a 1:30 p.m. start at Foster Stadium and will be aired on ESPN+.

I'm pretending to pay attention to the women speaking in group therapy, but really I'm playing with my rings instead, all three silver, all three presents from my daughter, Viviana. I sit in the corner like I always do (we're supposed to be sitting in a circle, but usually we made a square instead) and pretend to listen. Viviana is coming for me later today, so I don't have to pay attention. I twist the rings back and forth. They used to fall off if I wasn't too careful, but now they're too tight.
The center I'm in is Rosewood, which Viviana thinks is funny. "You're Rose, and this is Rosewood," she laughed when we checked in a year ago. "Ha-ha," I said and rolled my eyes. She never laughs when we talk about these kinds of things, though, so I didn't really mind.
I'm playing War with a binge-eater named Rhonda, a heavyset woman with red hair and with fake nails, in the common room when Viviana's supposed to come. Today, her nails are turquoise with silver sparkles. "Draw," I yell, and we both flip our cards over. "Damn it!" I have a queen, but Rhonda has a king. "You always win this game."
"It's all about luck," Rhonda says, but I'm pretty sure she cheats, somehow. Her kings come up a lot more than they should.
"Mrs. Martinez?" I turn my head. One of the nurses stands there, but not with Viviana. "Your husband is here to check you out."
"He's not my husband anymore," I say, but I leave with him all the same. I think I'll almost miss the center. I couldn't decide if I was going home or leaving it.
"You look good, Rose," Manuel says on our way back. I know he's lying because his mustache twitches, but also because he can't possibly be telling the truth. While he's come to get me in a blue cashmere sweater and kakis, my hair is a matted gray and brown mess and I'm wearing an oversized blue North Carolina Tar Heels sweatshirt that covers everything from the base of my neck to below my butt. What he means is I've gained weight.
"Where's Viviana?" The seatbelt strains against my breasts and the headrest makes my neck stick out slightly. I haven't been in a car since Viviana took me to Rosewood.
"She had a doctor's appointment she forgot about, and it was too late to cancel." He doesn't look at me. Whether that's because he's driving or I make him feel uncomfortable, I don't know. I don't look at him either. I play with my rings instead.
"Is she okay?"
"Yes, yeah, she's good." And then, "She's pregnant."
"Pregnant. With who?"
"Marcus. They're engaged."
"Well, no one bothers to tell me anything." We don't speak again until we get to Viviana's house. Viviana knocks on the car window before I have a chance to even unbuckle my seatbelt. The snow is half-melted on the lawn and there are the first few hints of buds. When I give Viviana a hug, I can feel her stomach, like a bubble under her blue sweater, almost the same shade as Manuel's. She's wearing black sweatpants and no shoes. I'm thinking back to the last time she came to visit two weeks ago. I don't remember her like this, though I think she was wearing a sweatshirt.
"You don't tell me anything," I say.
"I'm sorry, this was all so all-of-a-sudden." She gives her father a quick hug. She looks like a cross between Manuel and me. She has my light brown eyes (Manuel's are green) and wide mouth. She has Manuel's thick, dark hair and height. Both of them have at least six inches on me.
"The engagement, too?"
"Let's play twenty questions inside, okay?" She leads me and Manuel inside. We pretend not to care, but I can feel the air between us tense.
"I didn't even know you two were still together," I say after Manuel leaves. She pours two drinks, hers tea with milk and sugar, mine black coffee.
"We've been together for years. You know Marcus."
"Your house looks different." I haven't been here in a year. She's painted the kitchen cream. It was white last time I was here, over a year ago, and still smells like chemicals. There are pictures of Viviana and Marcus on the piano in the living room.
"Yeah, we've been working on it. Marcus officially moved in last month."
"Good," I say again because I don't know what else to say. I'm saved by Marcus when he comes home from work. He's even taller than Viviana and Manuel and has darker eyes than Viviana and me. His hair is short, shaved close to his head. He's thin, but not without some muscle. Tonight, he wears a pink button up shirt and black pants with a brown belt. Viviana and I sit around the table. Her stomach is just big enough that she can't pull her chair in all the way. Marcus makes dinner, chicken and rice. It smells rancid, but I don't tell Marcus and Viviana that in case they think I need to go back to Rosewood. Viviana says she thinks it looks great. I tackle the rice first.
"You'll be able to help us plan the wedding, Ms. Martinez," Marcus grins. I swallow carefully and nod. "We have questions about everything." I take another forkful of rice and chew it slowly. It tastes like sawdust. I can feel all the grains grinding against my tongue.
"I found your dress," Viviana says. "Well, Dad did. If you'd be okay with me wearing it."
"I'd love that," I say. But Viviana's bigger than I was when I got married, I don't say.
I'm supposed to look for a job while Viviana and Marcus are at work, but I can't focus, so I take walks instead. I learn that Viviana lives in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs. Viviana says that walking is fine as long as I eat. And I do. Just not in the way she wants me to.
"Five bites of an apple is not breakfast, Mom," she says one day before she leaves for work. It's been two months.
"I'm not hungry in the morning," I say.
"Make yourself hungry in the morning," she says. I twist the rings on my fingers. They slide off and on more easily now. "Maybe we should get you in to therapy outside of Rosewood."
"Because I don't eat breakfast? Viviana, there are like millions of Americans who don't eat breakfast."
"Those millions of Americans don't all have an eating disorder."
"You're not allowed to speak with me that way," I remind her. "I'm still your mother."
"Yeah, well, my roof, my rules," she says. "That's what you always used to tell me." I resolve to blame her attitude on the hormones and eat the whole apple for breakfast because I know I can just cut the calories out of lunch. Viviana resolves to put me in therapy anyway. I hear her on the phone the next day, making the appointment.
The door is open and I walk in. Viviana dropped me off on her way to work. I'm supposed to take the bus back, which I've never done before in her neighborhood. "You must be Rose," the woman in the room says. She has curly brown hair and she's wearing a grey suit. She has laugh lines around her mouth and lose skin around her face. "I'm Margaret." She shakes my hand. She also wears rings, even tighter on her fingers than mine are. "Come on in." I do. Her office is small and all furniture, a matching brown couch and chair, a desk, a lamp, and a bookcase. There's a window behind the couch with a clock overhead. She asks me to sit on the couch.
"You should know I don't need to be here," I say, sitting on the scratchy cushion. The sun warms my back uncomfortably. "My daughter thinks I should be."
"Okay," she says. "Why is that?"
"I have an eating disorder," I say. "But I was just in Rosewood for a year. Do you know what that is?"
"I do, but why don't you tell me about it."
"It was nice," I say. "All the nurses were nice. I did a lot of group therapy and my friend Rhonda and I played card games. I gained ten pounds while I was there."
"When your daughter called she said since you've been out, you've lost three pounds."
"You know, it fluctuates." Margaret nods and writes something on her yellow note pad. I turn to see the clock. It's been one minute.
Viviana and I go to pick up my meds after work. I've been in therapy for a month. She's pretty big now. She's wearing a sunflower-patterned dress she found at the maternity section in Nordstrom's. "She's fine, I guess," I say. "I don't know if I like it enough to stick with it though, you know?"
"Well, my insurance covers therapy, so I'd say stick it out," Viviana says. We move up a space in the line. A man brushes past us to get to the next isle. I step back. "Mom, get back in line," Viviana says.
"I was making room for the man to pass," I tell her.
"He should've gone around."
"Name?" the pharmacist asks.
"Rose Martinez," Viviana tells her. "M-A-R-T-I-N-E-Z."
She checks the computer and nods. "It's polite to move for people," I remind Viviana while the pharmacist goes to get my meds.
"It's also polite to go around them," she tells me. "I'm allowed to take up space." The pharmacist hands Viviana my meds.
"Whatever," I say.
Sometimes, when Viviana thinks I'm asleep, I can hear her arguing with Marcus.
"You don't want her here either," she's saying. They're right outside my door. It's dark, but I can see their shadows slip under my door from the light in the hallway. I've been living with them for four months already.
"She's your family," Marcus says.
"She can't rely on me for everything," Viviana says. "We have to get her full-time care or, you know, something."
"With what money?"
"I'll take out another loan." I hear the floorboards creak and a thud as she leans against the wall. That's what she does when she argues: she leans back and crosses her arms.
"That's a terrible idea," Marcus says.
Viviana scoffs. "Well, that's rude."
"We're not even married and we're already in debt."
"She doesn't eat. I can't make her eat."
"It's not about making her eat," Marcus says. "It's about being there for her."
"You've never done this before. You don't know what it's about." I hear her stomping and him shuffling after that, her footsteps leading left, to the bedroom, and his leading right, to the couch.
"Viviana had another doctor's appointment today," I tell Margaret. I've been seeing her for almost three months. "It went well."
"That's great," Margaret says. "Do you know the sex?"
"She doesn't want to know. I hope it's a boy."
"Why is that?"
"I dunno. Boys are supposed to be easier to take care of, right? Less demanding."
"Was Viviana very demanding?"
"No, not at all. But I think I was just lucky." I twist around to check the time. Fifteen more minutes. "She's getting big."
"Do you worry about her?"
"What do you mean?"
"You told me last week that you started cutting back on food after you had Viviana, to get rid of the weight."
"Sometimes. But that wasn't the first time for me, so she probably won't start now. And she has a good head on her shoulders." I smile. "Manuel and I used to say that we have no idea who she gets it from."
"Let's talk about Manuel."
"What about him? We split up when Viviana was twelve. I left him. After I had relapsed again."
"Why was that?"
I shrug. "I still loved him, at the time. But he was always making me eat."
"Can I show you how to cook something else one day?" I ask after we finish dinner, chicken and rice for the third time this week. It's stopped being so gross, but I don't know if that's because Marcus is improving or if I'm just getting used to it.
"Mom, that's so rude."
I shrug. Marcus laughs. "No, it's okay. The only reason I cook is because Viviana's even worse than I am." We both laugh when Viviana playfully swats his arm with one hand, keeping the other on her expansive stomach. She isn't even mad, because I ate the whole thing, rancid-smelling chicken and all.
The doorbell rings and Marcus gets up to get it. I didn't know they were expecting someone. "Who's that?" I ask Viviana.
"Don't be mad. I asked Dad to come over for desert."
"We don't have desert."
"No, you don't have desert. Marcus and I have desert every night."
Manuel and Marcus walked into the kitchen laughing together. "My girl," he says, giving Viviana a side-hug. He used to call both of us "my girls" when we were married. "It's good to see you, Rose," he says now. I nod.
"We have ice cream," Viviana says. "Mom, do you want some?"
I can feel Manuel's eyes on me. "That's okay. You guys enjoy."
"You don't just want to try it?" Viviana asks.
"I ate all of dinner." She rolls her eyes and takes out three bowls and three spoons.
"I found you a job." Viviana and I are folding laundry in her room one weekend when she tells me about the groomers. "For dogs. They pay ten dollars an hour. My friend Chelsea works there. You'd be working ten to four."
"I've never groomed dogs." I fold a pair of pants.
"Well, now's the time to start." Viviana folds a towel and plops it on the bed. The corners don't line up.
"I don't have a car." I unfold Viviana's towel and fold it again.
"Take the bus." When I don't say anything, she says, "Oh, come on, Mom, you can't just stay here doing nothing forever."
"I'm not doing nothing." I pick a loose thread off one of Manuel's shirts. "I'm reading. I'm learning how to knit a blanket for your son."
"You don't know that it'll be a boy." She sits down on the bed beside the clothes and puts her hand on her stomach. She has maybe a week left, maybe less.
"I have a feeling." I put the shirt on the bed.
"Well, you can knit after work." I'm quiet still, and she asks, "Mom, what are you so afraid of?"
I shrug. She picks up the stack of towels and leaves to put them in the closet.
"And here's where the magic happens." Chelsea opens one side of the the double doors and lets me walk through. The back half of the room is lined with shelves of treats and toys. There are six tables, three on each side of the room, dogs on the first four. "That's Pongo," she says, pointing to the big dalmatian on the left. "Jack," she says, pointing to the small, yapping brown terrier next to Pongo. "Spot." She points to a slightly-larger-than-Jack-sized creme colored cocker spaniel who does not, in fact, have any spots. "And Nixon." That's the white standard poodle next to Spot and across from Jack with tufts of hair making its head, chest, and ankles appear bigger than the rest of his body. The hairdryers blare. As soon as one stops, another starts so that the room is constantly buzzing. Jack won't stop yapping. "What do you think?" She looks down at me with big green eyes. Her hair is dyed blue with strawberry blonde roots, although I can't tell if the roots are natural or also dyed. Viviana tells me she was friends with this girl in college, but I don't remember ever seeing her in pictures.
"It's very loud."
Chelsea laughs. She's letting me try it today, two days after Viviana told me about the job. If I don't like it, Viviana says I don't have to come back. She also says I better like it.
"You can take the one in the back," she says. I follow her across the room, past Pongo and Jack and Spot and Nixon and the hot air of the buzzing hairdryers through another set of double doors. I haven't been in this room yet. There are ten crates along the wall, five stacked on the bottom and another five stacked on top. There's a small dog in the center of the top row.
"Who's this?" The dog is small and mostly white with grey ears, a grey muzzle, and a grey spot on its right side. It's shaking, but not yapping like Jack.
"This is Daisy," Chelsea says, taking the dog from the crate. "She just comes in every once in a while. She's a stray, but she seems to like being groomed." She holds the dog out toward me. "Here." I take Daisy in my arms. She's still damp from being washed and smells like mildew. Her fur is thin. I can feel her rib cage and some small bumps on her back. She's still shaking. "All you have to do for now is dry her." I follow Chelsea back into the noisy room and set Daisy down on the table beside Nixon. Someone comes in to take Jack home. He's remarkably quiet. Daisy is still vibrating like dice in your hands before you throw them.
I take the hairdryer and turn it on, pointing it at her back. Little tuffs of fur blow to the side, exposing pink skin. She doesn't take very long to dry. I take a treat in the shape of a bone out of one of the boxes on the shelves and feed it to her. It's almost as big as her muzzle, so it takes her a while to eat it. I stroke her back as she chews, crumbs all over the table.
I've never had frozen yogurt before, but Viviana's cravings have brought us here at ten o'clock in the morning on a Saturday. The shop smells like sugar. "What are you going to get, Mom?" I'm still looking at the flavors. Viviana has strawberry and mango with sprinkles and gummy bears.
"What's your favorite?" I ask.
"They're all my favorite." She laughs. I take some of the vanilla. "You have to try the toppings."
"Have to?"
"It's the best part." I take some of the chocolate sprinkles and put them on my yogurt. "Perfect." We pay and sit down. She takes a bite yogurt. I do the same. It's tart and the sprinkles are grainy, but I kind of like it.
"I'll take the job," I say.
She swallows. "That's sudden."
"That way I can get an apartment."
"Don't do anything you're not ready for."
I laugh. "Viviana, you don't want your fifty-year-old mother living with you and your fiancé forever."
"Not for forever. Just until you're ready to live on your own again. And you're definitely older than fifty."
I roll my eyes and take another bite. "Besides," I say after I swallow, "it's lucky I have this job at all."
"Lucky my ass," Viviana says, a drip of pink and orange yogurt hanging from her spoon. "Luck has nothing to do with it, Mom. You get to decide." I'm almost finished with my yogurt when Viviana gets her first contraction.
Viviana's breathing heavily, but she hasn't screamed yet, even though the contractions are just seven minutes apart. Manuel and Marcus are both on their way.
"Mom. It's too much." There's a nurse here, but there's not much she can do for Viviana right now.
"What do you mean?"
"Hurts." She's hoarse. She whimpers and grabs my hand hard, and I know she's having another contraction.
"It's okay, it's okay. It'll be worth it. You were worth it." She was, even though I can still remember how it hurt, clutching Manuel's hand like a lifeline and trying to focus on anything other than the creature coming out of my grotesque and swollen stomach. It didn't work.
She grimaces. "That's nice and everything, but maybe I'll care about the little person inside me more when it stops trying to kill me." Marcus and Manuel come into the room then. Both of them wrinkle their noses at the sudden whiff of urine and chemicals. "And if this thing doesn't kill me, I'm going to kill you for doing this to me," she tells Marcus.
He walks to the other side of the bed and takes her other hand. "That bad, huh?"
She screams for the first time and squeezes both of our hands. I think she might break my fingers and my rings are making little cuts on my hand, but I squeeze back anyway. The nurse comes over and says, "I think it's time. It's coming."
"C'mon, Viviana, you can do this," I say. I stroke her hair and squeeze her hand back. She nods and pushes. I can see the thing that will be her child coming out from between her legs. I can hear Manuel next to me and Marcus on Viviana's other side telling her to push, that she's going to be okay, but they don't know that. Only I do because I've done this before. Viviana took fifteen hours of labor, but I did it. I didn't cry until she came out, until the doctor announced, "It's a girl." I'm so caught up in the memory that I don't hear right away when the doctor tells Viviana that same thing, her daughter pastel pink and screeching like a banshee, tied to her by a scrunched-up chord.
"She's going to be fine," I tell Manuel. We're at the hospital cafe. A BLT for Manuel and a croissant with coffee and a little bit of sugar for me.
"We're lucky, with her. Good head on her shoulders," Manuel says.
"I still don't know where she gets it from," I say. Manuel smiles. "It's a girl."
"You wanted a boy." It's not a question. I had always wanted a boy.
"I wanted a healthy grandchild." I lean back in my chair. "Besides, I think there should be a few more girls in the world."
"That's absolutely fair."
"Viviana says there should be. That we're allowed to take up space."
"That's true." He takes a bit of his sandwich and swallows. "I heard you got a job."
"At a dog groomers. Not the dream."
"No, but you'll get your life back and then you can work somewhere else."
"Yeah, I guess." There's silence for a moment until I ask, "Do you resent me? For leaving?"
"What? Where is this coming from?"
I shrug. "Probably therapy. Viviana has me doing it."
"No, I, I mean, I was kind of relieved." He averts his eyes again.
"I mean, I still loved you, Rose, but you were a lot." He laughs. "Do you resent me for feeling that way?"
"No. I only resented you for making me eat."
"You know why I did it though, right?"
I nod. "You loved me." I take a sip of my coffee and rip off a piece of the croissant.

Not only are brides looking to spice up their dress with lace, but also their cakes! Though dessert bars are still going strong, cakes are having a comeback. With no doubt, cakes have always been a big part of any couple's big day, but now they are trying some new approaches!
Some couples love using abstract patterns and shapes as a main feature for their cake. Many couples are choosing to have their cakes hand painted for more elegance. But one thing is for sure, elegance is what it is all about. Brides are ditching elaborate floral on cakes to go for the more innovative décor. They are shifting towards the vintage style cakes, with lace, ruffles, and frills! While the underpinning color for most cakes will remain a white or ivory, the décor for them will use neutral and pastels.
With these elegant touches of embellishments also comes the option of hand painted cakes, which many are incorporating into their vintage cakes. Painted vines or creating a stained glass cake gives your guests more to marvel over.
Feel free to post a comment on your favorite style of cakes or cake trends that you like!

Horry County voters recently worked to place several key, new leaders in office. However, as we have seen with our President, winning elections only matters when voters can also work to help those we elected be allowed to govern. Call it the deep state or, in S.C.'s case, the RINO state, or Collusive State, newly elected (outsider) leaders face an uphill challenge when they begin to eliminate bad government and replace it with accountable government.
To help keep area residents informed by the best, MyrtleBeachSC news is partnering with FAN of SC (Freedom Action Network) and local cartoonist Ed Wilson.
FAN OF SC will be doing a weekly, local Horry County live-stream on Facebook to all of our combined 150,000 viewers on topics like the below.
As to Ed Wilson's Political Cartoons, need we say more. He is local. He is on point. He is hilarious.

1/12th Scale 'Driftwood Cottage'
After my experiment with brickwork on my last house I decided to go back to the tried and tested plaster for my latest seaside cottage. This little 1/12th scale house would make an ideal home for a fisherman or it could be a holiday let or perhaps a seaside tearoom/gift shop. A great way of making the summer last that little bit longer if you add this to your collection!

Adam Leitch, the journalist equivalent of James Pearce for Liverpool, has confirmed that there is no way back for Virgil van Dijk, despite a report from Gary Jacobs in the Times that suggested Southampton would keep hold of him.
He's claimed that van Dijk's already infamous statement is so inflammatory that the Saints now have no choice but to sell the Dutchman before the season begins – and will look to do so quickly so that new boss Mauricio Pellegrino can move forward with a united squad.
LFC refuse to meet Barca delegates; 'No Sale' stance on Coutinho made clearer
"There is surely no way back for him now at St Mary's," Leitch wrote for the Daily Echo.
"The chance of any reintegration is gone. If his desire all along has been to make his position untenable – something which the statement appears to try and dispute – then it has been achieved.
"Leaving aside for one moment the rights and wrongs of the situation, it has to be game over for van Dijk now at Saints."
Leitch went on to suggest that Liverpool are still in contention for van Dijk's signature, but that Southampton's priority now is making an enormous profit on the central defender.
At the beginning of the summer, we scoffed at a prospective £40m price-tag, but right now, Liverpool fans would accept spending almost double that if it means Jurgen Klopp getting the central defender he desires.
It could be the difference between silverware and another barren season, which you can't put a price on.
For now, the wait continues.

Johnson & Johnson Targets 85% of Apps in Cloud by 2018
Sequencing genomes, parsing disease pathways and modeling new medical devices is compute-intensive work.
Johnson & Johnson is moving aggressively to the cloud, aiming to have 85% of its applications in cloud systems from Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and NTT Communications Corp. by 2018. The health care and medical devices company is also shutting down or consolidating 40% of existing software applications, to cut spending on technology maintenance and streamline operations, said Stuart McGuigan, chief information officer.
The company is about midway to achieving the 85% goal, Mr. McGuigan said. Last year, Johnson & Johnson turned off its last mainframe, "which is not something I was sure I'd see in my lifetime: A Fortune 100 company with absolutely no mainframe footprint," he said.
Aside from cutting costs, cloud provides Johnson & Johnson with a way to grow faster, said Sandi Peterson, group worldwide chairman.. The company has moved more than 500 terabytes of data to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft's Azure and NTT's cloud platform, improving how research is conducted, Ms. Peterson said.
'Not something I was sure I'd see in my lifetime.'
Sequencing genomes, parsing disease pathways and modeling new medical devices is compute-intensive work. Putting so much data in the cloud, to use the computer processing power of outside providers, lets the company speed up product development, she said. Johnson & Johnson is on track to launch about 20 new products by 2024, she said. At least 10 new drugs have the potential to reach $1 billion in sales, the company has said.
"There's a huge explosion in biological sciences made possible because of technology," she said.
Johnson & Johnson's senior leadership team, including chairman and chief executive Alex Gorsky, made the decision to move aggressively into the cloud, according to Mr. McGuigan. "He understood it was a low-cost infrastructure play and has come to appreciate how much cloud could contribute to business agility," he said.
A wave of Fortune 50 companies is moving major portions of computing infrastructure and applications to the cloud this year, after growth in corporate spending on cloud fell in 2015. Coca-Cola Co. has moved 20% of its computing environment to cloud systems from Amazon, Alphabet Inc.'s Google and others and could reach 50% in the next two to three years. General Electric Co. CIO Jim Fowler said the company plans to reduce its footprintto four data centers from 34, and move all but the most sensitive data to Amazon Web Services and other clouds.

Parissa Tosif: 'Music fulfills a side of me that loves to be creative and engage in something that is somewhat infinite'
By Becky Hansen
By Becky Hansen
Our June Member Of The Month, Parissa Tosif, is a woman of many talents. On one hand she's busy touring the world as a musician with her band, Vallis Alps. On the other hand she's nurturing a budding legal career and finding her feet in the industry as a graduate lawyer. With a whirlwind couple of years under her belt, the best is still yet to come with a much-anticipated album release later in 2019.
Parissa joins us today for a Q&A that will leave you with valuable points to reflect upon and excited for a future woman who is on her way.
What are you reading at the moment? I have a habit of reading a lot at once! Currently on rotation is Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (the best one in my opinion), Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman (recommended to me by a fellow future woman on the FB page – thanks Becky) and Tools Of Titans by Timothy Ferriss.
What are you listening to? I listen to songs that make me feel moved. It's my favourite thing about music. But I have to choose carefully because I am writing music all day and want to ensure my ears don't get tired. Currently I'm listening to The National, Alice Ivy and Billie Holiday. I also rely heavily on podcasts and find that they frame the mood I want to enter into and help me learn from inspiring people. When I need a little bit of motivation I listen to How I Built This or The Cut on Tuesdays.
What is a quote/motto you live by? Remind yourself of your intention before acting. It's a lot easier to act once you know the aim behind your time, energy and love investment. Try to include in that intention something that will make others happy or benefit society.
Who is the most remarkable woman you've ever met and why? It's touching that so many people think of their mothers for questions of this nature – and I would have to answer my mum for sure. She lost her parents by the time she was 9 in her birth country of Iran and was moved to Austria at 13 on her own. She eventually moved to the USA at 17 and built a life with my beautiful father and did everything for me and my two brothers! She is a mother figure to so many people, and so incredibly generous, loving and strong but she is the master of living life with full zest. She's an incredible teacher and educator and runs her own business called World of Virtues for parents and teachers. I love her so much and treasure her friendship.
Why did you join Future Women? It's a haven where women wanting to connect can be together and learn. It's so unique to have a space like this online, and events and initiatives that foster community building. I feel like I'm only just getting started in understanding the benefits of being a member.
You create beautiful music and lyrics with your writing partner, David Ansari. How do you channel your creativity and find inspiration for your music? Thank you so much! I usually try to write lyrics to a concept. Our song 'Young' was written about dreams, both physical and ambitions. Our song 'Oceans' is an anthem for the resilience of human beings who are facing daily oppression – especially women and how inspiring they are.
You have achieved huge success with Vallis Alps since 2015, and your single 'Young' recently went Gold. What was this experience like? It was such a special moment for sure. Me and David, the other half of Vallis Alps, decided early on to remain an independent band for the first few years of the project. This meant that we would, alongside our manager Melody, build a team around us and do everything including running the business to finding a team, to mixing the songs and setting up for shows ourselves. This choice has shaped my idea of success to be an appreciation for all the things I've learnt along the way, as opposed to reaching a certain milestone. I feel so grateful to have met the people I have and learnt the skills and capacities I have. When I saw the Gold record I was filled with so much joy and it was a huge moment for reflection.
"Another reality is that traditional qualities of women and underrepresented groups clash significantly with traits traditionally rewarded in the legal profession including presenteeism, self-promotion and intense assertiveness."
As the other half of Vallis Alps resides in the US, you are a master at working remotely. How do you work with David to ensure you're maximising your creativity, as well as staying on track to meet deadlines? Honestly something I'm still getting used to! I've been going to New York a lot to see David and each time we work in person we make sure we leave with concrete goals. These then filter into my daily goals and plans I make for the week. We also try to jump on the phone every few days and make sure our friendship is strong. The moments when we're most challenged work-wise is when our friendship isn't strong and the vulnerability and communication isn't present. I also make sure my day is set-up right with a strong spiritual practice, exercise and social activity.
There was a time when you were balancing full-time study, internships and 70 shows a year. How did you manage it all? It wasn't easy and I definitely faced moments of exhaustion and anxiety. I think what kept me going was my sense of curiosity and building a team of supportive people around me. My legal studies filled a desire in me to do something intellectual, focussed and task based. Music fulfilled a side of me that loves to be creative and engage in something that is somewhat infinite. I also constantly had the opportunity to debrief with my husband, close friends and teammates who all are looking out for me and trying to make me laugh!
As a new law graduate, how did you approach the change from performing with Vallis Alps to working in law. Was this a difficult transition? I graduated in December 2018 and decided to enter a phase of 'exploration' with the law side of my life. I felt like 2015 – 2017 was such a whirlwind with touring and working that I needed a moment to re-analyse my purpose, goals and evaluate how I want to use my law degree. I'm so privileged to have been able to support myself through the music during this time, and I'm coming out of that phase and into some action. I've recently grown a strong interest in HR and workplace culture. Yet to see where that takes me, but I'm exploring that!
How do you apply your creativity and varied talents to an industry that is typically quite formal and conservative? I see the study of law as a way of forming patterns, habits and ways of thinking that can be applied to a variety of industries and jobs. Although I may end up working in the legal industry, I feel like the ability to be pragmatic, filter through large amounts of information and glean key insights as well as forming a constructive argument are all things that can be applied with creativity in many industries.
While the legal industry is embracing D&I agendas and modernising their workplaces, the pace of change remains slow. What do you believe are some of the major challenges for women and other under-represented groups working in law? The industry itself is built to stand on the shoulders of the court system and societal attitudes of work. This has a variety of repercussions, one of which is that the way we work (how, when and where) is largely institutionalised to fit someone who is not a caregiver or has commitments outside work. Furthermore, the heightened competition for clerkships and work experiences give opportunity to individuals who have been privileged to receive certain educational and extracurricular activities not available to disadvantaged groups.
Another reality is that traditional qualities of women and underrepresented groups clash significantly with traits traditionally rewarded in the legal profession including presenteeism, self-promotion and intense assertiveness. Thus, less women and underrepresented groups rise to senior positions, and the qualities of these people are continuously not involved in big decisions impacting the industry.
Things are definitely shifting and there are incredibly forward-thinking, innovative law firms out there. The industry itself and the way it functions makes it really hard for law firms to innovate and I'm truly impressed by stories I hear of those who are revolutionizing how we work and giving opportunities for unique characteristics to be supported.
You have one piece of advice for ambitious young women. What is it? Be kind to yourself and value the friends and family around you. At the end of the day, we are who we are by our deeds and not just our career accomplishments.
What can we expect from you in 2019? Finishing this album! I can't wait! And figuring out what's next for me in law or workplace culture or whatever comes my way. On a more personal note I've been trying to learn more about my Iranian roots through cooking and spending time with older generations to learn about the culture, so hopefully lots of good food and hospitality.
The future for women is: SO exciting. I don't go a day without thinking about the amazing women contributing to our world for the better.
We can lift each other up by: Celebrating each other and removing judgement.
I'm most fulfilled: When I see other people hopeful or dancing to my music!

Just as you need specific USSD codes to access some features on our phone, the Yaka meter has also been programmed to respond to certain USSD codes when you dial them.
There are five key Umeme yaka codes and with them, you can be able to check when your subscription is expiring, registration and other information as you'll find out below.
1. Checking Yaka meter number or CIU number
CIU number is the Customer Interface Unit or account number registered in the Umeme database.
If you forget the number at the time of paying for Yaka, you can check for it by dialing #100#.
2. Check registration
Umeme might make a mistake and assign you a meter number that's already been given to someone else. Or a smart crook could swap it and you end up paying their bills.
To confirm whether you are using the right meter, dial #001#. Your power will temporarily go off for a second and come back on.
That is proof that the meter is yours. If it doesn't go off, then you'll need to contact Umeme.
3. Check for the time remaining on the meter
You don't want to be disconnected in the middle of watching a football game or anything you want power for.
The Umeme yaka code for checking how much time you have before being disconnected is #074#.
The meter will give you an estimate of the time remaining before disconnection so you can add units.
4. Stopping the beeping on the meter
Every Yaka meter has a tone that automatically activates when your units run under 15KWh to remind you that you are running low on units and need to re-load your units.
It is a good initiative to keep you alert about your power only if it wasn't annoying.
To stop this sound for a period of 12hrs, press and hold the back button indicated by the arrow for about 5-8 seconds until it beeps then release it.
This instantly silences the sound for 12 hours then after it automatically starts once again. The best way to stop the sound completely is to keep your units above 15.
5. Reason for previous disconnection
This will especially help when you move into a new house and you want to know the power habits of a previous tenant.
When you dial #073#, it will display the reason for the last disconnection.
6. Usage at a given time
Dial #070# to check how much power you are using at a given time.
Below is a table showing the 5 Umeme yaka codes
|What to check
|CIU number
|Timing disconnection
|Stop the beeping
|Press the back button
|Reason for Disconnection
