The Guardian's Radio Critic (RC), who has been away for a fortnight, has returned and is already glued to the gogglebox despite it looking, "more sharply grotesque after the interval".
Topically, RC spotted The Brains Trust discussing divorce on which topic Lady Pakenham and Dr Julian Huxley disagreed, but how? RC does not elaborate. RC is back in time to catch the last of four episodes of The Makepeace Story and suggests that "if the first three were anything like the last then viewers will probably have felt intense relief that the end has come." "Dull dialogue, a general creaking of the plot, and a lack of any real drama," RC concludes.
Robert Cannell, in the Daily Express, has a contrasting view. He praises William Franklyn's performance as Bob Makepeace in the final part of The Makepeace Story, writing: "He was not only on the screen for almost the whole of the 90 minutes of the play; he had to present a multiple character of smooth charm, tender love-making, yet with the underlying stubbornness of a Lancashire man intent of having his own way." Describing the whole as a "first class drama" Cannell notes that "Most of the players defied tradition by speaking in Southern English, which did not conflict with the plot. The only flaw was when once or twice attempts were made to create Lancashire dialect by people to whom it was obviously a foreign tongue."
Cyril Aynsley was pleased to see more British artists on Sunday Night at the London Palladium last night, including Ruby Murray, Alma Cogan, Jewel and Warriss, and Leslie Mitchell – who interviewed Terry-Thomas while he (Thomas) was wearing a leopard-skin and represented the man who strike the gong before the beginning of the film. Aynsley finishes, "No undue homage was paid to any one artist and the programme was better balanced because of that."
The Editor of The Times has received a further communication on the subject of television in hotels: the correspondence comes this time from F. S. Gentle, Vice-Chairman of the Association for the Protection of Copyright in Sport. Mr Gentle writes that where permission is given for the televising of sporting events, this permission only extends to the home and "it should not be [shown] in public places without compensation." So that is now three letter-writers, none of whom seem particularly disposed to television in hotels. Anyone for?
Well certainly not a group of rabbis who, at the weekend, ask Orthodox Jews throughout London "to ban TV from their homes". They were told that it is the "most contaminating influence of our time. The rabbis apparently preached against it, and a poster signed by 150 British, American and Canadian rabbis condemned TV as a "parade of depravity". This from the Daily Express. As the request seems to have only gone to Jews in London, is it just independent television that they don't like?

A small study in last weeks British Medical Journal (BMJ) suggests a new human genotype may be prone to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Although this new evidence may rekindle fears of a larger epidemic, others warn that it is important to be cautious in interpreting these results.
Since the initial discovery of vCJD in the
Researchers at the
So far, all clinical cases of vCJD have occurred in individuals with the homozygous methionine (MM) genotype, and it was hoped that this was the only susceptible population group. But both these samples carried the homozygous valine (VV) genotype, suggesting that individuals with the VV genotype may also be susceptible to vCJD infection.
The fear is that individuals with this genotype may be at risk of developing the condition, possibly with longer incubation periods, say the authors. Alternatively, these people may be asymptomatic carriers who might transmit the condition to other susceptible individuals by blood transfusion or surgery.
Though they warn against over-interpreting data from only two positive cases, they conclude that these uncertainties further underline the need for continued surveillance of vCJD in the UK.
It is important to be cautious in interpreting the results of this study, warn experts from Canada in an accompanying editorial. The study shows the existence of the prion protein in two tissue samples, not clinical evidence of vCJD in two patients. The study also provides no evidence to suggest that tissue from these two people could transmit vCJD to others.
Studies such as this are essential to the continuing effort to control the extent of the epidemic and highlight the urgent need for ongoing surveillance for vCJD, they add. They also pose challenges to health officials who have to formulate policies comprising difficult trade-offs based on uncertain evidence.

Recently, it was learned from Nankai University that the team of Professor Liu Zunfeng, the State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry Biology, has developed a green and pure silk "artificial muscle" that can automatically expand and contract by sensing humidity. This new type of "artificial muscle" can be used not only for smart fabrics, but also for the development of soft robots.
Combining traditional textile technology with fiber-type "artificial muscles" is one of the ways to obtain smart textiles. Researchers have shown that although fiber materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, polyethylene, and nylon have been reported for the preparation of "artificial muscle" fibers, these materials are difficult to use as smart textiles for regulating humidity and body temperature. Because these materials have the disadvantages of high cost, complicated process, and poor comfort. The paper introducing the results was published in the international authoritative journal "Advanced Functional Materials" (the Advanced Functional Materials).
The team of Liu Zunfeng used a natural pure silk to prepare a new type of "artificial muscle" fiber, which was obtained by conventional industrial processes such as degumming, twisting, plying, and heat setting without using chemical modification and additives. The silk "artificial muscle" is driven by water mist and humidity to achieve torsion, stretching and contraction actuation.
In order to achieve reversible driving without external fixation, the Liu Zunfeng team developed a torque-balanced fiber structure that achieved self-balancing by twisting and plying the twisted fibers.
The reporter saw in the lab that the researchers used a silk-stretching muscle to weave a doll-sized smart top, which increased the length of the sleeve of the smart top to the original length when the ambient humidity increased (for example, due to sweat or moisture). Half of it; when the humidity drops, it returns to its original state. This moisture-sensitive textile can be very effective in managing moisture and heat by changing the macro shape.
Liu Zunfeng said that due to the wide application of silk and excellent wearing comfort, the silk artificial muscle production process conforms to the current industrial process, does not require chemical modification and additional additives, and is expected to open up more possibilities in industrial applications. For example, smart textiles and flexible robots.

Throughout the entire process, he was careful and did not at all dare to be reckless.
After all, this was a curse that once killed a heavenly sword. Even with the Holy Spirit Water's protection, he wouldn't dare to taint himself with it.
But as he shaved away the rays of black air, the rust on the heavy sword began to shed at a faster rate and it even began to exude coldness.
Though the actual sword was just starting to be revealed and was actually a long way away from total restoration – the peek from the actual sword dropped the temperature of the room down to freezing point.
Even Ling Xian felt shaken.
But more than that, he was happy. The blade of the sword was revealing itself and was emitting so much Qi. By the time it's restored, how powerful will it be?
"It truly is a heavenly sword composed of purple gold. I have high hopes for the amount of light it will shine when it is completely restored."
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with high expectations. He formed a hand seal and his Golden Dan crazily emitted energy and destroyed all the rays of dark energy.
"I will wait patiently. In less than two days, this sword will be reborn like it's new."
A smile sat on Ling Xian's lips. He continued to try and cleanse the curse as he waited for the moment the sword is reborn.
Time pa.s.sed by little by little.
After around two days, after the rusty sword completely shed its old skin, it immediately exploded with an infinite amount of light. Like an eternal Sun, the light it gave off was insanely bedazzling and blinding.
At the same time, rays of energy from the sword howled out, as sharp as ever, and was seemingly unprecedented.
Though there was no owner using it right now, it still possessed a terrifying amount of power – as if at any second now, the sword would slash across s.p.a.ce and send shivers down people's spines.
Even for someone like Ling Xian, he couldn't help but to move around in his seat. More than anything, though, he felt happy.
This sword was his. Naturally, he wanted it to be as powerful as possible!
"Based on this Qi alone, I can tell that this sword is made out of Purple Immortal Gold and is extremely dominating!"
Ling Xian's eyes were heated. He so impatiently wanted to lunge forward and find out what this sword was capable was.
The Purple Immortal Gold!
That was one of the top heavenly materials! Even real immortals cannot often use that material to make their weapons!
Weapons made out of this kind of material is completely deserving of its powerful t.i.tles. Whether its offensive or defensive powers, they are all top notch and infinitely strong.
The Purple Immortal Gold may have a simple sounding name, but its attacking abilities is definitely unmatchable. Even out of all nine of the immortal materials, it is considered top three. Its strength makes people's fingers quiver.
The value of immortal gold is even more shocking. It is considered to be invaluable and extremely rare. Even a piece as small as thumb nail is enough to trigger a war between the omnipotent.
Based on Ling Xian's estimation, the sword before him used a purple gold the size of a fist. Neither its powerfulness or its value could be estimated!
Therefore, when this sword was starting to reveal its abilities, Ling Xian's eyes turned heated. he stared deadly at the sword, waiting for its curse to be lifted so its real self can be shown.
Just like that, time pa.s.sed by for a while and all the light in the room dissipated. The meter long sword finally appeared before his eyes.
This sword was about one meter in length and three inches in width. It was completely purple without much decorations. But when you glance at it, you could feel the coldness from the sword and it would make you shudder.
Its sword's hilt was entirely purple and was carved into the shape of a dragon's head. Its grace made it appear impossible to offend.
The Qi it was exuding was even more terrifying. It was as if it could shred the heaven's organs and dominate the world!
"Great sword!"
Ling Xian's eyes appeared almost drunk as he exclaimed uncontrollably.
Don't forget, he was a craftsman and had the Immortal of Crafts' inheritance. Therefore, by just glancing at the sword, he was able to tell that the person who crafted this sword was a master craftsman!
Though this sword didn't look fancy by any means and did not look delicate, it gave off a very harmonious vibe. It had the sense that it was merged together by some kind of great magic.
Plus, there is a hint of spirituality circulating the sword. It truly was a state of art and extraordinary!
"The sword uses Purple Immortal Gold as its base – a top notch material. The craftsmanship on this sword is also out of the world along with the many other heavenly materials. These three factors helped create such a great sword."
Ling Xian's eyes revealed his surprise and he continued to exclaim, "The creator of this sword must've put in mad effort. But it makes sense, since Purple Immortal Gold is a material that is hard to encounter. If it were me, I would also do everything I can to ensure the sword is perfect."
Then, the corner of his lips curled up and he smiled, "Now this flawless heavenly sword is mine."
At that, Ling Xian leapt forward like a roc with wings. He so desired to grasp onto the sword now.
Just as his hands were three inches away from the heavenly sword however, this hilt exploded with the energy to shock the heavens and earth. He was instantly forced to retreat.
At the same time, another light ray from the sword emerged – sharp and threatening as ever.
Instantly, Ling Xian's expression changed and he hurriedly stepped to the right.
The light ray was too fast and it was sent off while he was completely without defense. Though he had made the right judgement call, the light ray still sliced across his cheek.
The light ray continued to howl across and pierced the wall behind him.
A red blood mark appeared on Ling Xian's left cheek. It made him feel surprised and somewhat joyous.
The first move this sword made was at the perfect timing when he couldn't defend and the attack was extremely fast. Though it hurt him, what capabilities did Ling Xian have?
He was a heaven-defying monster who was once at three different undefeatable realm!
His insane foundation was surprising and his heaven-defying strength was also shocking. Leaving those all behind, let's talk about his battling experiences. That alone was something not regular people could match up to.
One could make the claim that both his battling abilities and his experiences make him extremely powerful. Yet just now, during his exchanges with the sword, he was hurt by it. This is enough to prove how powerful this sword is!
"It hurt me the moment it made a move. This is something that's never happened before."
Ling Xian suspended in midair and his eyes flickered with disbelief. Out of the countless number of battles he's fought since he began cultivation, he's never been hurt by someone during the first reb.u.t.tal. Even when he fought against several people solo, it's never happened.
Yet just now, he was wounded by this sword. Why wouldn't he be surprised?
As much as he was shocked, he also felt a dense amount of happiness. This sword was his weapon, if it wasn't powerful, then what was the point?
Naturally, the stronger it is, the better!
"It appears that the sword is asking me to fight it before it admits me as its owner."
Looking at the purple heavenly sword that was pointing directly at him, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with a desire to battle, "Might as well. Let me tame you and make you a weapon that I acquired during my cultivation journey!"
At that, he began making a move. The Qi from the undefeatable realm exploded!
Ling Xian swung down his leg and like the sky just collapsed, everything within 10 miles were suppressed.
Perhaps it felt the opponent's abilities, the purple sword shook all over and sent out an infinite amount of Qi. Every single ray had the power to pierce through metal and rock!
One was a heaven-defying monster who's been through three different undefeatable realms, whose every action causes the nine levels of heaven to shake and jolt. The other was a heavenly sword made out of undefeatable heavenly material. Every movement of the sword was sharp and impossible to stop!
The clash of the two parties caused explosions of much terror. If Ling Xian's hasn't set up protective arrays before, the entire palace would've already be in ruins.
Ling Xian made his drastic movements and began to attack aggressively. Every single move he made revealed how violent he could get!
The purple heavenly sword did not pale in comparison. Every single ray of energy it shot out scared away the clouds!
It was not living being. But before it was sealed away, it had acc.u.mulated a lot of energy. Today, the seal had lifted and the stored up energy naturally had to come out.
If that wasn't the case, there was no way that it would be attacking by itself without the command of an owner.
Ling Xian saw through that, but he could also sense that this sword had something spiritual about it. Therefore, he wanted to dominate this sword and make the sword follow him willingly.
"Be tamed by me and step on this cultivation journey with me. We can defeat demons and be alongside the immortals!"
Shouting, Ling Xian's black hair danced in the wind like a G.o.d of warrior. He made a ruthless move that was violent and ferocious!
The heavenly sword shot out another round of rays of energies that threatened its opponent!
"Defeat it!"
Ling Xian was fearless. He continued to aggressively attack.
He didn't use his Eyes of Execution and he didn't use any of the techniques he knew. Instead, he used his physical self and Qi to fight against the power of the sword. Despite that, he remained very authoritative and was utterly fierce!
His leg once again acted like a whip that flicked throughout the air and crumbled down the entire place. Then, his fist acted like a live dragon that landed on top of the purple immortal sword.
Instantly, the meter long sword shrieked and its color dimmed somewhat.
What could it do? Though it was made out of Purple Immortal Gold, it was still just a sword. Only if it was placed inside the hand of a cultivator at the peak of the completion level, could it perhaps get to surpa.s.s and defeat Ling Xian.
But right now, it could not defend against Ling Xian's amazingness!
"Admit that I am your master and I will let all your light shine!"
Ling Xian continued to move his arms and legs. Every movement was overbearing and extraordinary. His movements were simple but vicious!
His strong physique defended against the sword. Then, he rushed towards the heavenly sword and his fist landed on the body of the sword.
Once again, the sword groaned and its color dimmed.
At this, Ling Xian's expression showed how happy he was. He forcefully bled a drop of his majestic ancient blood. Immediately, a wave of heavenly force landed upon the area, making the entire s.p.a.ce shake and quiver.
The sword too, began to tremble under this amount of power.
"Give yourself to me. I will take you on this journey to the peak of the mountain!"
Ling Xian guffawed and dropped the ancient majestic blood onto the heavenly sword. At that, the sword began to shake even more violent, as if struggling and not willing to be tamed.
In the end however, it could not resist the power of the ancient majestic blood and it was suppressed.
Then, the feeling of being connected by bloodline appeared, bringing a warm smile to Ling Xian's face.
Because this feeling meant from this moment on, he was the owner of the sword!
"I have tamed this sword. from today on, this sword will work to serve me, and me only."
Ling Xian smiled and finally placed the purple sword into his own palm. He studied it carefully.
Then, at the connective part between the hilt and the blade, he saw the carving of two small sized ancient characters.
Zi Yao.

Reviewed by: Michel Renaud
for:The Rapturous Unraveling
Rated 4/5 (80%) (1 Vote)
According to Metal-Archives, U.S. death metallers Malformity were active from 1991 to 1995, releasing two demos in that last year, and then got back together in 2014, releasing an EP in 2015 and now this short single in 2018. Can't say they've been prolific, but I like what I'm hearing and I hope they have an album baking in the oven.
Unsurprisingly, this is U.S. death metal through and through – the "New York Death Metal" sound to be precise. I can't help but think of some of Immolation's punishing material here. Both songs are heavy, with convincing, hard-hitting drums and some razor-sharp guitars that just want to shred the speakers to pieces. The vocals are fitting, perfect growls. Needless to say, this is over too quickly and, for now, that leaves only the repeat button to satisfy one's thirst for some fine death metal from these guys until they come up with more, hopefully just as good material.

Ghana midfielder Agyemang-Badu has completed a move to Serie A side Hellas Verona from Udinese.
The Ghana star joins The Yellow and Blues in search of more playing time after making a return to action towards the end of last season, following a long-term injury layoff.
"Udinese Calcio announces that it has temporarily sold Emmanuel Agyemang Badu's sports services to Hellas Verona FC with a redemption obligation," the parent club announced via their official website.
"The club thanks the player for the commitment and professionalism shown during his past eight seasons with The Black and Whites."
Badu has been with Udinese since 2010 and has been a hit with the Zebras.
In 2017, Badu joined Turkish side Bursaspor on a season-long loan but the spell ended abruptly due to an injury before returning to Italy to continue his stay with Udinese.

Dr Catherine Hannaway, Nursing Now Global Campaign Programme Director - http://www.nursingnow.org/who-we-are/
The Nursing Now campaign aims to raise the status and profile of nursing. Run in collaboration with the World Health Organization and International Council of Nurses, Nursing Now seeks to empower nurses to take their place at the heart of tackling 21st Century health challenges.
The campaign was launched on 27th February 2018 by the Duchess of Cambridge in London; and Dr Tedros, the Director General of the WHO, and Princess Muna Al Hussein in Geneva; with simultaneous events in Jordan, South Africa and the USA. By June there were campaigns active in more than 40 countries.
Running until the end of 2020, the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale's birth, the campaign aims to improve perceptions of nurses, enhance their influence and maximise their contributions to ensuring that everyone everywhere has access to health and healthcare.
If you're committed to giving nurses more recognition, investment and influence, sign up to support the campaign.
Use Nursing Now's social media toolkit to help get others interested and involved, you can follow the campaign's progress on Twitter and Facebook.
Nursing Now also plans to showcase supporter-led events, case studies, trainings, funding opportunities and much more. Share your plans to champion nursing and they'll be added to the campaign's global activity map.
This campaign is based on the report The Triple Impact of Nursing – how developing nursing will improve health, promote gender equality and support economic growth (2016) published by theAll-Party Parliamentary Group on Global Health (APPG) following its review of nursing globally.

Christian Askvig is a guy coming from Norway and he just loves analog synthesizers. He's active with different projects (his latest one is a techno influenced project called Polymorph) but this time we are here to talk about his electro outfit called Digitizer. Mixing classic electronic robotic sound with electro, genre explored by bands such as The Consumer or Der Zyklus, Christian composed five killer tracks where alternating bleeping sounds, hi-freq pads and syncopated rhythms paint sidereal atmospheres with a dance attitude, played by programmed androids. Using vocoder filtered vocals here and there, a bit of delay and "well-trained" arpeggiators, Digitizer is offering an E.P. that you won't miss if you love Kraftwerk, Luke Eargoggle and the fore mentioned bands.

DJ Rap - Prince Of Love (Acapella) lyrics
Prince Of Love (Acapella) by DJ Rap
Can you tell me where you are?
I'm searching you, but I can't find you - nowhere.
When I look up to the sky.
The moon is telling me,
One day you will be mine.
So just send me, a heavenly sign of love
No don't worry, I'll receive it from above.
You just send me, you're heavenly sign of love.
I wait all over, until you be my Prince of Love.

A Golden Day at Salesforce World Tour L.A.
Shortly before Salesforce World Tour Los Angeles last year, I was approached by Salesforce to share my story.
"Sure," I said. "What do you need, a picture?"
They replied, "No, we help [Salesforce CEO] Marc Benioff with his keynotes."
THAT…I was not expecting. (As Joe Biden once whispered to Barack Obama over an unknown hot mic, "This is a BFD!!!")
As I worked with folks at Salesforce to continually shape and refine my story (much thanks to the incredible patience of Frances Chang and Becky deLoryn!) — first, about working in the pre-Trailhead Salesforce world, then leaving for two years to undergo and recover from breast cancer treatment (including chemotherapy, surgeries and radiation), and now re-entering the Salesforce Ohana — I had TWO MINUTES to share my story clearly and concisely for a potential audience of 1000+.
Women Empowering Women
Salesforce allowed me 10 guests as my "cheering section." Since my fiancé often cannot attend my Salesforce events out-of-town, I was excited for him to finally experience the Ohana in person.
For the others, I chose to invite either: 1) Salesforce Women in Tech User Group leaders, and 2) Salesforce User Group leaders that were women.
One of them remarked, "I love the female representation!" THAT was intentional; they had all been such a huge part of this journey, and I can never thank them enough for helping me to re-enter this community!
Special thanks to Marisa Lopez, president of Amplify (which is near & dear to my heart!) and to Jenh Vo, Sunnyvale Women in Tech User Group leader, for flying in to cheer me on!
Goodbye, Sweet Yuri
Shortly before the event, I had recently visited the inspiring Yuri Angela Chung, a freelance graphic designer who was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer at age 25. Right before her fifth year in remission, the cancer came back as Stage IV, which had metastasized to her lungs, bones, and brain.
She then created Notes to a Friend, a multimedia installation that transformed her beautiful written reflections on her cancer experience into an immersive one. (As a fellow Korean/creative/breast cancer survivor, I was constantly awed by how openly honest she was about her breast cancer journey. I cannot even imagine how many young breast cancer survivors' lives she touched, the way she impacted mine.)
At age 33, she then developed leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC), a rare complication of cancer in which the disease spreads to the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord, which occurs in approximately 5% of people with cancer and is usually terminal.
The usual prognosis is three months, but in true Yuri fashion, she fought with EVERY PART of her entire body (even when doctors recommended otherwise) until the end for eight incredible months. I will ALWAYS admire her indomitable fighting spirit; I will never forget her faithful & furry companion, Elvis, her sweet smile and her trademark red hat.
Her wake was on the day of Salesforce World Tour L.A. 💔
Trying to Hold On
At Salesforce World Tour L.A., the amazing Sarah Joyce Franklin, Executive Vice President & General Manager of Trailhead & Developer Relations at Salesforce, asked to meet me before we spoke at the keynote. As much as I was excited to be there, I confided in her that although I was there physically…my heart and mind were elsewhere. (Frankly, I was just trying to keep it together.)
After telling her Yuri's story, she hugged me and said, "If you get emotional, that's the truth — and we are all here with you."
THANK YOU, Sarah, for your incredible kindness that day and for the space & place to feel/honor my grief.
This Ohana is truly amazing.
Before the keynote, I was told I would be next after the PepUpTech video. As the video started, so did my jitters.
Since I consider many of those in the video as friends, there was something calming about seeing and hearing them onscreen at that moment — especially my dear friend, Shakil Kamran, one of the first PepUpTech graduates.
It reminded me of their important work of advocating for diversity in tech, how much still needed to be done and that sharing my story in this moment was bigger than me.
Seated next to the incredible Leandro Perez, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Salesforce, I whispered, "My friends are in this video."
He responded, "So, it is like following family."
Indeed it was.
NEXT Up
Suddenly, it was time for the keynote. As an introvert, one of my worst fears is public speaking.
After hours of practicing a two-minute speech, I could do this…right?
I had this entire inspirational speech memorized, but as soon as I hit the line, "Tomorrow is never promised," there it went. Everything I had been trying to so delicately hold together inside emotionally came rushing out in tears, in front of 1000+ people watching.
Suddenly, the survivor's guilt hit me: I thought of the magnitude of this moment as a breast cancer survivor, what it meant to finally be back at work after treatment, all of the breast cancer survivors I had known and lost — and all of their families who had lost them — and how they would never get this opportunity.
One of Yuri's last social media posts shared how she was not back at work…yet.
And now, she never will be.
The Hard Part is (NOT) Over
When I recently shared my scanxiety (cancer patients' fear and worry associated with scans, both before and after a test, before the results are revealed) of my ongoing oncologist check-ins to check if I still have no evidence of disease (NED), a friend wrote me, "You will be fine. The hardest part is over."
I really hate when people say this to me. You may mean well, but please don't say this to a cancer survivor.
First of all, YOU HAVE NO IDEA IT IS FINE. So, don't say it. (Sometimes, we just need our fears heard and validated.)
Why is the "hard part over?" Because I am no longer in chemo? Because I now have hair?
Do you think it is that easy to pick up your life after pausing it for over a year to face death? That I do not continue to have depression, anxiety, and survivor's guilt, especially after constantly losing friends in this community? That I don't cry every time the needle hits my arm for my maintenance appointments, because it brings up my P.T.S.D.? That I don't constantly worry that every ache & pain means that cancer has returned, and I will become just another statistic?
Now, as I deal with my own father being diagnosed with cancer — and having to shift from a patient to a (helpless) caregiver from afar — I am constantly reminded of the devastating, far-reaching impact of cancer.
Welcome to #LifeWithGoldie
While in a tear-induced fog, I forgot my speech. All I remember is Sarah Joyce Franklin giving me a hug…and then, something gold appeared.
The audience applauded, my cheering section went crazy, my phone suddenly blew up and there I was, out-of-body, now one of only approximately 50 Salesforce Golden Hoodie recipients (whose inspiring stories are shared at Salesforce events, in hopes that the spotlight and inspiration will carry on when they wear the hoodie) IN THE WORLD.
Did that just happen??
This is Us
I often talk about how I struggle with impostor syndrome, especially as a woman of color in tech. What had I done to deserve this??
If anything, receiving the Golden Hoodie made my impostor syndrome even worse.
As the golden dust settles from that day, I can't help but think back to sitting in chemo, bald, and never knowing if I would make it back to work…let alone my next birthday.
The end of my cancer road was unclear, and work was the last thing on my mind.
And there, sitting next to me in chemo, was my fiancé, who luckily was able to work in the chair beside me and had to help feed me because my arm was stuck with an IV (before I had a port).
Who stood by me when I said I could not go back to just ANY job post-cancer — throughout the mental, emotional and financial pressure of that decision — since I knew my life now had to have some meaning and most importantly, PURPOSE.
Who was with me during my first Salesforce journey, then my having to leave work for years once diagnosed, throughout my breast cancer treatment, our unknown beyond…and now watching from the Salesforce World Tour L.A. audience.
This (golden) recognition was not just for me — it was also for HIM.
This celebration was FOR US.
full-circle moment
When I was trying to re-enter the Salesforce world, I applied for a job but didn't get it. Later, the interviewer offered to give me feedback as to why they made their decision.
In the spirit of self-improvement, I jumped at that incredible opportunity. They gave me extremely helpful tips on how to grow, make myself more marketable, get re-certified (since it had lapsed while I was in treatment) and told me to try again in a year.
And that's what I did. (However, while in the midst of applying again, I began working elsewhere; they were one of the first people to congratulate me.)
During World Tour L.A., Salesforce also offered me an incredible opportunity to share my story during the Trailblazer Fireside Chat.
Remember the interviewer who didn't give me a job…but invaluable feedback instead?
She now works for Salesforce. GUESS WHO INTERVIEWED ME FOR THE TRAILBLAZER FIRESIDE CHAT??!!
Lesson learned: Never be afraid to put yourself out there, be open to feedback and be willing to grow. (You may not get the job, but you may gain an incredible connection and relationship simply from applying.)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Paige Van Riper, for your incredible guidance and encouragement throughout my Salesforce journey! It was an absolute full-circle HONOR to have you, of all people, interview me on such a memorable day, and it meant the world to me.
Salesforce Ohana, KEEP GOING!!
After receiving the Golden Hoodie at Salesforce World Tour L.A., my co-speaker at Amplify@Dreamforce, AMAZING PepUpTech graduate and dear friend, Shakil Kamran, was then awarded the Golden Hoodie at Salesforce World Tour New York!
SO PROUD of you, Shakil!
Keep Going
A few short weeks after receiving the Golden Hoodie, I took the Platform Developer I certification exam. I did not pass.
I wasn't going to share the results…but I wanted people to understand you don't just wake up one day and receive a Golden Hoodie.
As much as I struggle with the magnified impostor syndrome that happened after receiving this incredible honor, I know that I worked my a** off in Salesforce to get to this point. In the end, there are no shortcuts. YOU WILL NEVER GET AROUND DOING THE WORK.
As my incredible friend, David Liu (the second developer Golden Hoodie recipient and founder of the awesome SFDC99.com), always says, "You either pass…or you learn."
Time I followed my own advice and keep going!
Brave, Not Perfect
Am I proud of the fact that I spent my concise two-minute opportunity to share my story at a Salesforce event in (what felt like an eternity of) speechlessness and tears?
No, of course not.
But I cannot tell you how many people approached me after the keynote, asking for a hug while trying not to cry, to share their stories of loved ones being impacted by cancer.
A few days later, someone wrote me that they were in the audience that day and that there wasn't a dry eye in the house. They also shared that they were deeply moved.
THAT'S what I choose to remember from that day.
In the end, it was HONEST. My heart was broken that day, and I couldn't hide it. And I didn't want to.
What I HAD Hoped to Say
Read below for the Salesforce World Tour keynote remarks I prepared, since I was too emotional in the moment to fully get them out…
Tell us about your journey and how you got involved in the Salesforce community?
I actually have a fashion design background but fell into Salesforce while I was in a temp job at a nonprofit and became a Power User.
I knew I wanted to make the switch to Admin but wasn't sure how. I began to learn more, pitched myself to the Salesforce team and when there was an opportunity, I made the switch.
BUT, soon after I became certified, I was shockingly diagnosed with breast cancer. I had to leave work for two years to go through 15 rounds of chemo, three surgeries and 32 radiation treatments and afterward, I really didn't know if I could come back.
I had a lot of doubts because I didn't have a background in IT and when I was first learning Salesforce, there was no Trailhead — plus I knew whatever work I did after cancer had to have MEANING and PURPOSE.
That's when I got involved in the Salesforce community and a special nonprofit called Amplify, which empowers underrepresented voices in the Salesforce.org ecosystem. [I met mentors and even created their website as a pro-bono project.] And I shared my story to close out their recent Dreamforce event. With the support of the community, I knew I wasn't alone. I had the Ohana behind me as I worked to not just get my Admin certification back...but I also gained my Platform App Builder certification.
Now I have an incredible job where I get to consult with nonprofits. I also volunteer with Amplify as an L.A. co-leader. I even used my fashion skills to create the ParkPuff™ seatbelt pillow, which helps comfort breast cancer patients worldwide, and I'm so happy to be able to give back.
What advice do you have for others who are starting their Trailblazer journey?
If I've learned anything through my journey, it's that tomorrow is never promised. So, in sharing my story, I hope to show underrepresented voices in tech — especially women of color — to not let ANYTHING get in your way, even when faced with adversity.
Embrace your imperfectly authentic story, whatever it may be, because it's what makes you truly unique. You can't be what you can't see. Representation matters, so KEEP GOING!!!
And find your Salesforce Ohana, because there is absolutely NOTHING like it! We're here to empower, uplift and inspire each other.

South African gold miners can appeal silicosis ruling
South Africa's top gold mining companies will be able to appeal against a recent court ruling allowing the country's biggest-ever class action to go ahead, a lawyer for the miners said Wednesday.
Such verdict paved the way for about half a million current and former miners to proceed with a multi-million-dollar suit, which seeks compensation for those who contracted lung diseases, such as silicosis and tuberculosis, while working for the companies mentioned in the suit.
Anglo American (LON:AAL), Africa's top bullion producer AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU), Harmony Gold (NYSE:HMY), Gold Fields (NYSE, JSE:GFI), Sibanye Gold (NYSE:SBGL) (JSE:SGL), and African Rainbow Minerals (JSE:ARI), will now be able to appeal against all aspects of the class certification judgment delivered in May.
The next step for six miners, which formed last year a group to look at compensation and medical care for workers who acquired occupational lung disease, also known as silicosis, is to file their notices of appeal, said the lawyer.

Public Economics and Administration
Degree programme specification
The Public Economy and Administration study programme is not only for people interested in working in public administration (at municipal and regional authorities, ministries, and institutions of these offices in operation), but for anyone who wants to understand the relationships between the public and private sectors, whether they later find employment in the private, public, or non-governmental non-profit sector. Students are encouraged to employ critical thinking during their study and strengthen their capacity for analysis and reasoning, gaining a deep knowledge of the system of public finance and administration and on the effective management of public funds, both on the part of public revenues (tax system, the administration of taxes and fees), and on the side of public expenditures in various spheres. Part of this field is also the issue of the non-profit sector, i.e. non-profit studies.

We all know about what is the main function of a wall in our homes, dividing environments. But it is one of the most important structures in our house to decorate. And let fly our imagination to create, and a perfect complement are wall wood shelves, where you can put all the accessories that you can think of.
It does not matter if you are an expert carpenter or an amateur construction worker, there are ideas for everyone. We have looked at the online stores and handpicked a number of exciting wall shells in nice design, which you should look into. See them all below and get inspired! There are supports that go on the wall, and to which you can fit some squares.
They are ideal for shelves, because you only have to put on them some wooden planks and that's it. Hexagons that mimic a honeycomb, one of the strongest trends for children's bedrooms. The interesting thing about this is that you can rearm it as many times as you want. Its depending on your needs. Taking advantage of the divisions of the walls and walls inside the house to integrate niches, can be an excellent shelf solution, which adds depth and character to the design of the space.

06739734 is referenced by 114 patents.
The present invention is a method of converting fluorescent luminaires, or luminaries, into LED luminaires. The most preferred method retrofits a commercial fluorescent light fixture, especially one that uses T12 lamps or T8 lamps, without requiring removal of the fixture housing. The fluorescent luminaire is stripped of its lamps, wireway cover, ballast(s) and tombstones. A novel LED retro-reflector is mounted within the fixture housing to conceal an LED power supply and to provide an ideal surface for mounting LED (Light Emitting Diode) light strips. Any existing diffuser or louver that was part of the fluorescent luminaire may be replaced after the LED retrofit has been completed.

Popular bike trails in the Peak District are being lined with dangerous hidden booby traps made up of rocks and nails.
Various obstacles have been found dotted along some of the routes winding through the area, including pins and other sharp objects being placed on the ground, and wires and branches being positioned at head-height.
With the national park especially popular at this time of year, and with the summer holiday period on the way, there are concerns that there could be serious consequences if the trend continues.
Experienced local cyclist Chris Maloney, 37, told Sky News the "medieval" traps seemed designed to put people off cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
Mr Maloney runs the Keeper Of The Peak blog, which he set up to promote cycling and provide regular updates on trail conditions in the Peak District, and is alerted to the traps by his followers.
"We've had rocks placed across paths, branches pulled down and placed across paths, branches placed at head-height, drawing pins placed on the road, nails put down," he said.
"We've also had rocks placed across bridleways, like a rudimentary wall being built. One with spikes was buried and if someone trod on that it could cause them some serious pain. The head-height branches in low light could cause serious damage as well."
Mr Maloney said he had been getting such reports for years, but that there had been a recent increase in the number of people sharing details and photos of the dangers they come across.
He said cycle paths having also been targeted in nearby Yorkshire villages like Bradwell, Bamford and Aston.
"There has been an increase in people using the outdoors, and a growth in the amount of people enjoying recreation in places like the Peak District, and some people don't like change," he said.
"Some don't like this increasing use of what they might see as their trails. It's really sad that it's happening."
Police have assured cyclists that they are on the case.
South Yorkshire Police said: "Our officers are aware of reports of alleged trail sabotaging and take all reports of this nature very seriously.
"Trail sabotaging has the potential to cause serious injury, and we would encourage anyone who comes across evidence of this taking place to report it to the police on 101."
The emergence of the booby traps comes after a report showing that 70% of cyclists in the UK are concerned about their safety while out on their bike in public.
The British Cycling report surveyed more than 15,000 people and resulted in calls for a new public mutual-respect campaign to protect cyclists.
Nick Chamberlain, policy manager at British Cycling, told Sky News at the time that cyclists felt "hostility" from other road users, and there are fears that attitude towards them has expanded.
Mr Maloney said: "Do people feel there is not enough access for them? Or do they feel they don't have enough space to enjoy the Peak District in the way they'd like to?
"Advocacy groups like Peak District MTB are doing their utmost to build collaborative relationships. If we all work together, we can identify the cause of this."

As spring break nears, newly-separated or divorced parents who are turning their kids over to their co-parent for a vacation are likely to feel pangs of sadness that they'll no longer be part of all of their kids' family vacations. The kids will now be making some vacation memories with their other parent -- whether it's a short trip up to Lake Havasu or a vacation to Cancun.
Remember that not being able to spend family vacations with both parents is likely difficult for your kids as well. That's why it's important for co-parents to encourage their kids to keep in touch with the parent who's not along for the trip and to find ways to share their adventures with that parent.
No matter how you feel about your ex, when you take the kids on a trip, whether it's a long weekend at the Grand Canyon or a month in Europe over the summer, encourage them to communicate via phone, text, email, Skype or whatever means they prefer. If they're younger, help them remember highlights of their day so they can tell their other parent. Encourage them to share photos and videos.
There are travel journals and apps designed specifically for kids of all ages that can help them organize their memories. This is a great way not just to share the vacation with their other parent, but to have a keepsake for themselves.
The parent at home shouldn't intrude on the kids' vacation by constantly calling or texting them. Don't make them feel guilty for having fun without you or tell them how lonely you are. Let them know how much you want to hear about what they're doing, even if it involves your ex's new significant other.
What if you encourage this sharing when you vacation with the kids, and then when they go away with your co-parent, he or she doesn't reciprocate? That shouldn't change your behavior. Remember that you're doing what's best for them. Eventually, they'll probably want to share with you when they're with their other parent, whether that parent encourages it or not.
If you believe your ex is keeping your kids from contacting you at all and you can't resolve the issue, you may want to consider adding some details to your parenting plan about vacation communications. Your Arizona family law attorney can advise you on how to seek these changes.

Growing up as an only child, I often "took sides" between my biological parents. Whichever "side" I chose at any given moment had nothing to do with forging a permanent alliance and everything to do with meeting my needs.
When we went out to dinner, I always slid next to dad. Dad held me rapt with stories and lessons about life. He demonstrated centrifugal force by swirling the last drops of coffee in his cup and explained that it was this same force that kept him from falling down the steep banks of the velodrome when he raced his bike. He poured specks of salt and pepper onto the table and pushed them together in a display of nuclear fusion. When the meal came, he shook a sprig of parsley and told me that its tiny leaves breathed life into the atmosphere.
But it was mom who breathed life into me when the heavy brass doors of the department store elevator closed and I gasped thinking that the world had forever disappeared. It was mom's hand I held while standing on the downward escalator because I was convinced that the collapsing steps would shred me like parmesan cheese, then swallow me up. It was her waist I wrapped my arms around when astronauts blasted off into space to draw rings around the world, then fall back to earth hanging by the threads of a billion silkworms.
My folks split when I was 10. Mom and dad each each found a new spouse, triggering a host of personal conflicts over to whom I owed allegiance. Only after many decades, did I freely decide to pledge allegiance to all in my extended families.
My wife's and my doggie daughter, Lilly, the Boston terrier, is an only-child. But she's not the least-bit conflicted about "choosing" between my wife and me. She can live without the laws of physics and has no irrational fears to be quelled. She knows that mommy makes great food and daddy roughhouses and both of us love to cuddle.
Lilly seamlessly drifts back and forth between us the way a shadow shortens and stretches along opposite sides of a tree as daybreak lifts to noon and noon sways into sunset. As Lilly's human mommy and daddy, we are her "tree," anchoring her safely to the earth, letting her dart playfully from sun to shadow and offering exploration and refuge in our myriad of branches.
At night, Lilly usually sleeps between us, her back pressed against one of us, her legs stuck straight out, touching the other's shoulders and her head sticking out of the covers (who knew a queen-sized bed could be so small with a 20-pound dog in it!). For the past several nights, my wife and I have slept apart because I'm sick. I've fallen asleep on the living room couch with Lilly tucked up against my hip only to find her gone when I've rolled over a few hours later.
Mommy's hip needs warming, too!
Lilly has come a long way since that first night we weren't all able to sleep together because our temporary accommodations had twin beds that could not be pushed together. Lilly sat in her plush bed on the floorspace between us, swiveled her head back and forth between mommy and me and whined. It appeared that she didn't want to "take sides."
We casually turned out the light and let Lilly figure things out on her own. She jumped on one of our beds, furiously dug out a little nook, flopped down for five seconds, stirred, jumped down, hopped up on the other's bed and repeated the process. After about a half-hour of ceaseless rustling, she settled into her own bed. During that night, each of us woke up to find Lilly nestled in the hollows of tucked knees and elbows or pressed against the small of our backs.
Lilly never takes sides without giving back. I hope my parents felt that I gave a little back to them, too.

Using Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet tools is essential to tracking, storing, reading, and learning from data. It is used by businesses every day to spot trends, issues, growth patterns, and risks. As you saw in the Strayer Story last week and the Strayer Talk this week, Deidre Jefferies uses Excel to create spreadsheets she sends to potential and current clients, to track inventory and pricing, and to set goals and see potential areas for improvement within the business.In this Challenge, you will use Microsoft Excel to outline the steps you would take to implement your plan to solve your problem, and to outline the costs that will be involved in your plan. Additionally, you'll use basic functions to analyze your plan. You will format your worksheets to make them easy to work with as well.
Follow the steps below to create your Implementation Plan and Costs Chart for your plan to solve your identified problem. [If you don't remember how to operate these functions in Microsoft Excel, refer back to TestOut, the course material, your instructor, or Google it!] Completed sample versions of the Implementation Plan (Sheet 1) and Costs Chart (Sheet 2) are included here below the rubric for your reference.
Create and title your workbook. Save at firstname_lastname_Challeng3_CIS105.xlsx
Create a new workbook using Microsoft Excel.
Create two (2) sheets inside the workbook and title them "Implementation Plan" and "Costs Chart". You can name the sheets by right clicking the tab at the bottom of the sheet and choosing "Rename."
It's also a good idea to put this title at the top of your spreadsheets in Cell A1, then use "merge and center" on the home ribbon when you are finishing your formatting. This will center your title at the top of your work and make the printed version (if you choose to print out your workbook) look more professional.
Create your Implementation Plan and Timeline on Sheet #1.
Regardless of what problem you are trying to solve, a plan is only as good as the effort taken to think through its steps.
Create labels as shown on the sample in the first three columns of this worksheet; one titled "STEPS," one titled "TARGET COMPLETION DATES," and the last titled "TIME ESTIMATES."
i) List each major step you would need to complete under the "STEPS" column. Bold the font of each step. Customize these to fit your actual ideas (don't just label them "Step 1", "Step 2", etc. like in the sample) and be descriptive of what each step is. For example, "Painting", "Baking", "Writing", etc. Add additional rows as needed.
ii) List at least two (2) actions you need to take for each major step. Again, be descriptive (don't just label them "Action 1", "Action 2", etc. like in the sample)
i) List the target deadline for each major step and action under the "TARGET COMPLETION DATES" column. Note that completion dates for the major step should be equal to the last date of the action within that step that will take the longest. Use DD/MM/YYYY format for your target deadlines (ex: 01/31/2017)
i) List a time estimate (in hours) for each major step under the "TIME ESTIMATES" column.
ii) Calculate the total time estimate for your entire implementation plan at the bottom of this column as shown in the example.
Add formatting such as color, borders, centering, bolding, etc. to make your sheet more visually appealing and easier to read.
Create a Costs chart on Sheet #2.
Even if the problem you chose was personal, there are likely going to be some costs associated with solving it.
First, create headers for two columns; one titled "ITEM" and one titled "COSTS."
List each of the major items or factors you would need for your solution (i.e. your own and others' time, equipment, transportation, products, etc.) under the "ITEM" column. You'll need approximately 5-15 items total. If you have fewer than 5 items, break these down into smaller sub-items. If you have more than 15 items, consolidate similar items. Be descriptive here and adjust the width of your columns as needed.
Include a realistic cost estimate for each of the items involved in your plan under the "COSTS" column.
Add a third column labeled "Comment" and comment on each of the costs, explaining how you came up with that cost. These notes to yourself are very helpful when you look back on an older spreadsheet, and also help explain to others why things are on the sheet.
Add up the total costs using the Sum function. Remember to start all function cells with an equal sign (=).
Next, add an "Average" label and calculate the average cost of the item costs you've identified for your plan. This way, you can easily see if each cost is larger or smaller than the average.
Add a "Lowest" label next, and calculate the smallest of your costs. This might come in handy to show you which item you can easily knock out first. Use the MIN function here.
Add a "Highest" label after this, to show which item is the largest cost. You'd be surprised how useful this label can be when you have a lot of data to sift through. Use the MAX function here.
Test your data by putting in some random numbers. Make sure your MIN and MAX functions are working correctly by changing one of the values to a small number and one to a large number. Add up all of the figures on a calculator or use all "1's" and count them to make sure the sum and average functions are working correctly. After you test your formulas, enter the real data.
Create a pie chart graphic that shows a breakdown of the percentages of each cost area by using the layout functions. The pie chart is used to represent percentages of the whole. It allows you to see at a glance how much of your total cost is represented by each individual cost. Insert the pie chart as an object in the sheet. Click on one of the pie labels once and select the Enlarge button shown here to make the pie chart large enough to read (size 12-14 font recommended). Right-click on the label and select "Format Data Labels". When you see the panel options, set them as "percentage". Uncheck the "Value" option, and ensure that the "Percentage" option is checked. If you have a lot of labels, be sure to check the "Show Leader Lines" option, see Format Data Labels options.
Merge and Center the title at the top of your spreadsheet just as you did in Sheet #1.
Format and save your workbook.
Change the font for all dollar amounts to a new font that you feel is clean and easy to read in spreadsheet format.
Add professional-looking color to some of the font in the sheet (For example, the titles or headers). Remember, the goal is to make your workbook easier to read. So you wouldn't want to use light yellow fonts, for example, because they would be hard to see against a white background.
Be sure to spell check your workbook to check for any typos or errors.
Re-save your file. Again, the correct file naming convention is: firstname_lastname_Challenge3_CIS105.xlsx
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this challenge are:
Use basic application software.
Create a digital solution for an identified business problem.
Use technology in a professional and ethical manner within real world contexts.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
