All employers must complete an I-9 form for all workers to verify their employment eligibility. The I-9 requires the employee to present certain documents to the employer in order to establish the employee's identity and work authorization. During the pandemic, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) waived requirements that employers inspect documents in person in workplaces that were operating remotely, and those employers have been allowed to use alternatives like videoconferencing, fax or email. The waiver is currently extended through the end of October, 2022.
DHS has announced plans to issue a proposed rule this month which would allow virtual document examination options in some instances on a permanent basis. Virtual reviews of the I-9 form would help employers that are hiring remote workers. With the increased use of remote workers, many employers are requesting that the virtual review option be made permanent. It is often impractical and burdensome for remote employees to travel long distances to a company's location in order to present documents for the I-9 requirement.
Many large employers have requested DHS to implement options that are both convenient and secure. There are limitations to certain technologies such as fax for the purpose of I-9 completion. One example of a convenient way to examine documents remotely is to use a virtual platform such as Zoom, Webex or FaceTime in which the employee and employer representative would have their cameras open and working. The employee would then hold the documents in front of the camera lens for examination by the employer.
We will update you when the proposed DHS rule is finalized.

Frailty is a common syndrome in older adults and is characterized by weight loss, low activity, and weakness. Aging and frailty have been linked to poor health outcomes. Frailty has been identified as an outcome of aging in humans. Moreover, it makes older adults more vulnerable to different forms of stress. A hallmark of frailty is a weakened immune system, which lowers the capability of aged people to ward off diseases.
A recent study published in Nature Aging aimed to explore different characteristics of human immune cells in relation to aging. Led by Oscar Junhong Luo, the research team collected cord blood from neonates (an infant aged less than four weeks) and peripheral blood (blood flowing through the heart, capillaries, arteries, and veins) from healthy young adults, non-frail older adults, and frail older adults, with the aim to assess blood samples based on changes in the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire and transcriptomics (study of the complete RNA transcript set to understand the structure of genes) at a single-cell level.
Oscar and his team profiled approximately 114,467 immune cells collected from cord and peripheral blood using single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing. The researchers reported on the accumulation of transcriptome variability and heterogeneity in the immune cells, which was dependent on the age of the participants. Moreover, they identified distinguishing transcription factors in the selected cell types of precise age groups.
Previous studies have shed light on chief characteristics of human immune aging, such as a decrease in the TCR repertoire and number of naïve lymphocytes, together with an increase in the number of memory and effector cells with high inflammation response. These memory cells are generally able to identify foreign substances that the immune system has been previously exposed to.
Findings from the trajectory analysis elucidated that cells collected from both frail and non-frail older adults can be often classified into distinctive paths. The T-cell subtypes in old adults shared abundant TCR clonotypes (unique amino acid sequences), which hinted at disparities in pluripotency (the ability of a particular cell to form any of the three primary embryonic germ cell layers and consequently all cells present in an adult) and the resilience of the aged T cells.
The research team identified a subset of frailty-specific monocyte, which was characterized by an absolutely high expression of long noncoding RNAs, namely NEAT1 and MALAT1. This study added evidence to previous research in that it explored characteristics of human immune cells that were specific to frailty, based on the inclusive magnitudes in the immune landscape of frailty and aging. Oscar and collaborators mentioned that this study offered great insights into the detection of a novel cell type, particular cell markers, and comprehensive genomics resources related to immune aging and frailty in humans.

When ConocoPhillips exited the deepwater business in the summer of 2015, John Dabbar pivoted to a new vector in his career and assumed the function of US government affairs in Washington DC where he is an advocate for safe, clean, reliable, and affordable American energy - filling a position previously held by retiring ARCO Alum Jim Ford. "My job consists of meeting with government officials – appointed, elected, and career – at the federal, state, and local level", said John. "It is unlike any other job I've ever had, because it requires lots of emotional intelligence and a balance of left-brain and right-brain thinking."
My job consists of meeting with government officials. It is unlike any other job I've ever had.
John's career began in 1992 when he joined ARCO. John worked with Captain Jerry Aspland, Jim Morgan, John Sullivan, Nolan Miura, Kim Estes, and Bob Hernandez who handled all the vessel scheduling. "My first big effort there was working on the escort tugs for the Cherry Point refinery" said John. "These tugs are still in service today. After two years in Marine, Captain Aspland arranged for me to transfer to ARCO Pipeline Company, where I managed the Operations Control Center on Cherry Avenue. I learned a whole new language working with the pipeliners and a new part of the oil and gas business and I worked for Randy Lair." ARCO Pipeline had four major operating units: ARCO Pipeline which ran the common carriers, ARCO Western which delivered ANS from the tankers to the refinery, ARCO Terminal Services for third party business, and Four Corners Pipeline which brought crude from Cherry Ave to the Farmington area.
John recalls that it was in the coffee room at Cherry Avenue where his ARCO career took a major turn. Steve Beck, then the Controller for ARCO Transportation, told John he was working on a deal with Lukoil. "I, naively, said that sounds like an interesting project," recalls John. In December 1996, John was offered a position in the LukARCO business unit, assigned to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in Moscow. He worked with a number from the ARCO family including Scott Kerr, Cheryl Wiewiorowski, Bob Thweatt, Neil Fortune, Gary Boubel and Helene Harding.
It was in the coffee room where my career took a major turn. I naively said 'that sounds like an interesting project'.
"I spent the next seven years in Moscow, working on the pipeline until it was up and running; by then BP had acquired the part of ARCO that I was working in and I continued in the same job with BP," said John. He subsequently moved to ConocoPhillips where he continues to work closely with several ARCO alumni. After successfully exiting the Kashagan project, John moved back to his roots and managed the Marine group, including Polar Tankers, the successor to ARCO Marine where he started some 20 years earlier - where many ARCO Alumni had moved up the ranks and were now in leadership positions. Four good years: Successful safety and environmental performance by the Polar team, several safe but dry deepwater wells, lots of LNG shipping, and a step change improvement in offshore vessel management.
John invites any ARCO Alumni visiting our nation's capital please give him a shout as he would enjoy meeting up.

Great game i play with friends.
Rex – :
Terraria is a side scroller rpg where you have to gather as much resources and shape your own world. It's similar to minecraft in that regard but better imo. Just completing the game can take you 60 to 100 hours.
Heromanguy12 – :
Terraria is a great 2d side scrolling platformer sandbox game! You can craft many items, weapons and armors to help you on your journey! Some people say that this is similar to Minecraft, but i say it's a game of its own! This solid game deserves 5/5 rating!
Qsljic – :
Terraria is one of the best indie games ever created. There is so much to do in this game and so much to collect. Even after you invest dozens of hours there will still be monsters to hunt, bosses to fight, gear to craft, materials to find, and fun to be had. Take all of that and throw in friends and you will have a blast with this masterpiece.

How would you feel if you were to receive an email from the company that manages your crypto wallet, saying that your account has been hacked? I would totally lose it, and so would you if your account was loaded.
Still, that's not the worst part. Try this one for size: your account has been hacked by the very same company who vouched to safeguard your precious booty. Earlier this week, Komodo, a cryptocurrency startup, announced that its hacking team managed to take advantage of a zero-day vulnerability to move $13 million worth of Komodo coins and bitcoins to a safe location.
Why would a company want to hack its own platform?
It's not actually hacking, as in searching for a backdoor, looting, and running away with the money. According to Npm, the cybersecurity company who identified and fixed the vulnerability, this breach could have cost Komodo millions of dollars. So, what was the vulnerability, and how did the team manage to get away with the money?
In a blog post detailing the patch job, Npm wrote that during a routine check they'd identified a malicious update which contained a code capable of making away with crypto seeds.
Moreover, the viral code was also capable of accessing the users' passwords used for other cryptocurrency apps. The Npm team stated that the culprit, which was a JavaScript library, shouldn't have been able to tamper with the app's advanced functions.
However, the malware code, which was part of a more intricate supply-chain attack, piggybacked on the EasyDEX-GUI application. That would be the breaching point for the hacker. Apparently, the vulnerability was confined to only one of Komodo's cryptocurrency-management applications (Agama).
The update was released at the beginning of March and did not raise any red flags until the Npm team started to mess around with it. Once the breach was identified, the team moved the contents of the users' cryptocurrency wallets to a safe location.
According to the estimates, some 96 bitcoins and 8 million Komodo coins were at risk due to this zero-day vulnerability. This adds up to $13 million, give or take.
So, what happens now? Well, by now, you should have received the email saying that the company hacked its own accounts for your sake (yes, I know exactly how this sounds!).
Now you need only access the 'safe wallets' to claim your bitcoins or Komodo coins. According to the startup's support page, the safe location associated with the KMD portfolio is https://www.kmdexplorer.io/address/RSgD2cmm3niFRu2kwwtrEHoHMywJdkbkeF. As for bitcoins, head to https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1GsdquSqABxP2i7ghUjAXdtdujHjVYLgqk in order to reclaim your electronic wallet.
What more is there to be said? Better a company hack its own accounts in order to patch any security breaches than a hacker. Komodo was right to be worried -if not for the Npm team; this zero-day vulnerability could have gone unnoticed. The result – millions of dollars lost and angry users demanding an explanation for their empty cryptocurrency wallets.
What's your take on this entire Komodo business? Should more companies thread in their footsteps and hire ethical hackers? Head to the comments section and let me know.

Jules Reich
Chicago, Illinois, United States
A patient donating blood, Australia, c. late 1940s. Via Wikimedia. |
In 1937, the first U.S. blood bank opened in Chicago. It was originally called a Blood Preservation Laboratory, but its founder, Dr. Bernard Fantus, changed the name to blood bank. For someone who spent a large part of his exceptional career working on ways to make medicine taste better for children, this change made sense: it went down smoother. The term "bank" was not, initially, a metaphor.
In every sense, Fantus's invention was a bank. It worked on the principle of separate, individual accounts with deposits and withdrawals. The blood bank functioned like a neighborhood bank. Healthy people were sent to participate in advance of need just as often as transfusion recipients were sent back to donate once they were healthy. It differed from a savings and loan institution only in that it was located in a hospital, and it held blood, not money.
Dr. Fantus encountered some difficulty in popularizing the bank, even within his profession. Doctors of the era were suspicious of his methods of preserving blood, and they were even suspicious of donors unrelated to recipients, whose motivations might be financial. Donors, on the other hand, underwent a painful process of opening a vein and risked infection. For patients who were generally healthy, and only feared needing a blood transfusion once in their lives, for some unforeseen major event, this worked well. They were able to supply the bank with blood when they were healthy, earning a credit, and know that if or when they ever needed it, they could withdraw from their account. People who withdrew from the bank to receive transfusions would be asked to make a donation in turn, either themselves when they became healthy, or by proxy through a friend or relative.
Into these dry facts, it is possible to read a variety of human stories. Having been denied a loan for a house or a small business, a resilient person could knock on a different door, wait for an upturn, move on to the next bank. A blood transfusion being withheld is a different matter entirely. For patients who routinely needed blood transfusion, for whom the painful process was needed to sustain life, the structure was burdensome. Rare was the hemophiliac with an endless list of healthy, local family and friends ready and willing to bleed. As time went on, and physicians began to take advantage of the ease of availability of the blood bank rather than the hassle and unreliability of donors, more and more blood bank donors were needed. Administrators had to rise to the challenge of encouraging hospitals to spend money on testing rather than just requesting Type O blood. They dealt with fears about transfusion between donors and recipients of different races, which at times were codified into law.
Without the strict accounting structure of the blood bank as originally conceived, some administrators were concerned that supplies would run out. They reasoned that people donated out of obligation, not out of altruism. Today, the vast majority of donated blood comes from donors who will never know or meet the recipients. Also, blood donation has become a simple, safe, and streamlined process, familiar to Americans through advertising and blood drives at their places of work and houses of worship. The "bank" in blood bank is now a reservoir, a collection and storage solution, rather than a means of accounting. Instead of discharging a debt, donors are seen as freely giving, connecting themselves to others without an expectation of what they will receive. Blood banking will likely continue to undergo changes and shifts for a long time to come.

Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, feeding more people than any other crop. It is grown on every continent except Antarctica. Rice is a type of grass that belongs in the same plant family as wheat and corn. It is rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Rice is a staple food for more than 3 billion people around the world. Rice is essential for many poverty-stricken areas. Archeological evidence shows that rice cultivation was first cultivated in China and India. Rice cultivation has traveled to Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America, the United States, and Australia. The United States grows more than 100 varieties, which are grown in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and California. Asia produces 90% of the grain. The Banaue Rice Terraces in the Philippines is listed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
The scientific name for Asian rice is Oryza Sativa. Rice is used in many Asian and Indian dishes. The edible seeds from the Oryza sativa plant come in several shapes, sizes, textures, and flavors. There are 40,000 types of rice in the world. Rice provides an inexpensive and nutritious source of energy.
Table of Contents
Types of rice
Long-grain rice
Long-grain rice length is generally three to five times longer than its width. Some of the popular long-grain rice are Basmati, Jasmine, and American white and brown rice. Cultivation of Basmati rice is traditionally in the foothills of the Himalayas. Jasmine is cultivated in Southeast Asia. Long-grain rice tends to stay fluffy after cooking. They should be rinsed before cooking. Long-grain rice is used for pilafs and salads, as well as rice pudding.
Medium-grain rice
Medium-grain rice is shorter and broader than long-grain rice. It tends to be two to three times longer than it is wide. Medium-grain rice is moist, tender, and slightly chewy. They stick together when cooked, creating a creamy texture. Popular medium-grain rice includes Arborio, Carnaroli, and Valencia. Short-grain rice is often used to make risotto and paella.
Short-grain rice
Short-grain rice is slightly longer than it is wide. It cooks up soft and tender and sticks together. Short-grain rice is used for sushi, molded salads, and pudding. Short-grain rice is used in Southeast Asian desserts.
Colors of rice
Rice comes in many colors. The typical white rice that we are familiar with is processed brown rice. White rice has been refined, polished, and the bran and germ have been removed.
White rice has a better shelf life but with reduced nutritional value. White rice provides a quick source of energy.
White rice cultivation is done around the world. White rice is the most popular of all the different types of rice.
US brown rice cultivation occurs in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, and California. Brown rice is a whole grain. Only the hull has been removed. It still has the bran and germ. Brown and other whole-grain rice help regulate blood sugar and insulin. Those who have diabetes should eat more whole-grain rice.
Black or purple rice has a distinctive sweet flavor. It is also called forbidden rice because only the emperors and royalty in ancient China could eat it. I like cooking it in a rice steamer, then adding a can of low-fat coconut milk at the end of the cycle and cook it for another 30 minutes. I sweeten it with some agave. It makes a great breakfast or dessert if you add white raisins and some cinnamon.
Red rice comes in different varieties, such as Himalayan red rice and Thai red cargo. All whole grain rice is a good source of protein and fiber. Red rice has more antioxidants than brown rice. The flavonoids help decrease inflammation.
How do you cook rice?
Rice can be cooked in various ways using different cooking devices such as on the stovetop, rice cooker, microwave, steamed, and instant pot (pressure cooker). Each cooking device will require different water to rice ratio, and the cooking time will vary. Generally, the ratio is 1 cup rice to 1.5 – 2.5 cups of water/broth, depending on the type of rice. Rice swells to three times the size of dried rice. For example, one cup of dry rice will yield about three cups of cooked rice.
My favorite way of cooking rice is in a rice cooker. I add all the ingredients following the package directions, push the correct settings for the type of rice I am cook and 25 – 45 minutes later, the rice is ready to use.
Stovetop directions are listed below. The ratio for whole-grain rice and water will vary. Generally, whole-grain rice will require more water and more time to cook than white rice. Follow the manufacturer's directions for your cooking device.
NOTE: leftover cooked rice can be frozen to be used within two months when you need rice but don't have time to cook it. Measure cooled rice and place in a freezer-safe bag. Press out the air and make it as flat as possible. To use the frozen rice, you can defrost it in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. You can also add it directly from the freezer to your soups, stews, etc.
White rice
How to make white rice. Stovetop is the most common method of cooking rice.
Bring two cups of water to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, add one cup of rice and add a pinch of salt. Cover with lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not remove the lid. Remove pot from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
You can use a microwave dish made for cooking rice, or you can use a microwave-safe container with a lid. Don't cook more than one cup of dry rice with two cups of water at a time.
Place the one cup of rice and two cups of water in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 5 minutes at 100% power. Then cook for 15 minutes at 50% power.
Brown rice
Many recipes recommend whole-grain rice be rinsed under cool water before cooking.
Bring two cups of water to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, add one cup of rice and add a pinch of salt. Cover with lid and simmer for 45 minutes. Do not remove the lid. Remove pot from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
Place the one cup of rice and two cups of water in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 10 minutes at 100% power. Then cook for 20 minutes at 50% power.
Black rice
Many recipes recommend whole-grain rice be rinsed under cool water before cooking.
Bring 1 ¾ cups of water to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, add one cup of rice and add a pinch of salt. Cover with lid and simmer for 30 minutes. Do not remove the lid. Remove pot from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. If you prefer softer rice, use 2 – 2 ½ cups of water.
Place the one cup of rice and 2 ½ cups of water in the microwave-safe dish and cook for 10 minutes at 100% power. Then cook for 25 minutes at 50% power.
Red rice
Follow the recipe for brown rice above.

Arcam exists for one simple reason: to bring the best possible sound into people's lives, whether from movies or their favourite music. We're committed to engineering products able to deliver audio performance so lifelike it connects you straight to the heart of music, and wraps you in the world of movies.
Arcam is based just outside the famous university city of Cambridge, and our story started the classic way: two friends with a passion for music and electronics met up while engineering students at Cambridge University, and founded Amplification and Recording Cambridge in 1976.
We've been developing and making CD players for almost 30 years, and for 40 years the descendants of the amplifier with which the company started in consumer electronics, and as far back as 1995 expanded into home cinema electronics, developing a world-class reputation for making some of the best-sounding AV electronics.
In home cinema we've also developed our own DVD players and, more recently, Blu-ray players from scratch here in the UK, engineering them using our decades of experience in CD players to ensure they play music as well as they do movies, delivering better all-round performance than other brands' products.

We're borrowing a technique from Dragon and Tiger qigong to try and get a better sense of the lower tantien.
The lower tantien ("dan-tee-en") is the energetic center of your physical body, located just below your navel, on the central axis of the body. If you dropped a line down from the crown of the head, through the body, and out the bottom of the pelvis, it would pass through the lower tantien.
Because this center is so deep inside the body, it is hard to feel. When you do find the energetic center of your body, though, you learn to realign your posture around it, feeling full and supported in a completely different way.
In this exercise, you want to:
- Connect the palms, looking for the energetic sensation, as if you were pressing magnets together or pulling taffy.
- Let the energy get quiet once you stabilize the connection. Release, dissolve, and let go, without disconnecting the palms.
- Repeat the first two steps, but with the palms facing the lower tantien.
- Finally, try to connect to this same internal alignment with the arms resting by your sides
When you find it, just hang out with the connection and don't try to do anything else!

Cristiano presents himself to the city
New twist on Cristiano's future. The Courier Dello Sport Juventus open their cover for Manchester City this Tuesday. The team, coached by Pep Cardiola, opens an escape route for the Portuguese star. The pieces fit together: Cristiano wants to leave Juventus, while City look for a forward after the departure of Kun Axero. In addition, one of the first names on the list of Vecchia Signora instead of the Portuguese is precisely the name of Gabriel Jesus, who can enter the process.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a contract with Juventus until June 2022However, his departure in Italy will bring his departure a season ahead due to dissatisfaction. Waiting for months to leave Turin, As AS released on August 2, he is trying to offer himself back to Madrid With the help of his friend Carlo Ancelotti. Joe would not oppose his farewell, meaning he would save more than $ 60 million in salary costs and, in addition, take considerable weight from Allegri's plan of not prioritizing the permanence of the Portuguese.
In that case CR7 was put on Cardiola's orders, Cristiano stands alone with the rest of the team in Manchester United, To score his last goal with a competitive shirt, Citizens.

Q: I was walking out to the car to take my 86-year-old father to a dental appointment when he went down. No warning at all. One minute he was up and going, the next he was down and out. He didn't fall hard, just kinda melted to the ground. Even so, he ended up with a shoulder dislocation and fracture. Doesn't it usually take more than that to dislocate the arm? Now I'm worried it will happen again.
A: The type of injury you just described is called a low-energy trauma and accounts for a large number of hip, shoulder, and wrist fractures and dislocations in older adults. The key phrase here is "older adult." Though it doesn't always mean every older adult is "fragile," many are more fragile and at greater risk of injury than we realize.
Inactivity and deconditioning are common problems among the adults 85 years old and older. In fact, the results of inactivity and physical deconditioning start to show up at a much younger age (often even in the mid-50s).
Studies show that adults 65 years old and older and especially postmenopausal women in this age group are at risk for these so-called low-energy falls. They may momentarily be off balance, their leg(s) may give out from under them, or they hit a patch of uneven ground and can't regain their balance. Down they go with potentially serious soft tissue, bone, and/or nerve injuries.
Adults in your father's age range are at risk for recurrence, reinjury, or new injuries. The best way to combat this is by remaining active. Exercises of all kinds are beneficial including getting the heart rate up a bit, strength training, balance training, and stretching or flexibility exercises.
There are many programs for our seniors to help with this. There are sit-to-be-fit and gentle yoga programs on television. The local senior citizens center, YMCA, or local gyms often sponsor low-cost (even free to seniors) exercise programs.
Your local or State Council on Aging should be able to help you locate services nearby that your father can take advantage of. His primary care physician may also be aware of ways he can participate in more programs of this type.
Physical Therapists are also good resources for assessment of balance, strength, and conditioning. The therapist can offer short-term, individualized, supervised programs that can be continued at home to further assist in preventing future falls and injuries. The therapist can make a home visit and advise you on ways to fall-proof your father's home as an added feature in falls prevention.

Will the real Jesus Christ please stand up?
Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram "IHS"–symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where …Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the "IHS" monogram that had previously adorned the stage at Georgetown's Gaston Hall was still covered up–when the pediment where it had appeared was photographed by CNSNews.com.
(AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
"In coordinating the logistical arrangements for yesterday's event, Georgetown honored the White House staff's request to cover all of the Georgetown University signage and symbols behind Gaston Hall stage," Julie Green Bataille, associate vice president for communications at Georgetown, told CNSNews.com.
Pediment in Gaston Hall with "IHS" covered as photographed by CNSNews.com, April 15, 2009.
(Photo by Penny Starr,CNSNews.com)On Wednesday, CNSNews.com inspected the pediment embedded in the wall at the back of the stage in Gaston Hall, where Obama delivered his speech. The letters "IHS" were not to be found. They appeared to be shrouded with a triangle of black-painted plywood.
Pictures of the wooden pediment prior to Obama's speech show the letters "IHS" in gold. Many photos posted on the Internet of other events at Gaston Hall show the letters clearly.
The White House did not respond to a request from CNSNews.com to comment on the covering up of Jesus' name at Gaston Hall.
Apparently, Obamessiah can't stand the competition.

The role that sponsorship plays today for brands still largely remains the same — brand equity, personality, and marketing to a niche audience. And marketing to a niche audience makes a ton of sense! As I outlined in this piece, a niche strategy can reap massive rewards. What's changed is the ways in which brands have been accomplishing these goals.
Given that sponsorship valuation is still a murky field (how do you place a dollar value on one eyeball?), much of the decision is still reliant on gut instinct, or some degree of subjectivity. There is no such thing as price transparency in sponsorship. This leads to, among other things, an inefficient market.
Now — to be clear, we're only talking about the upper echelon of properties. The vast majority of properties are still fighting to win sponsorships. Particularly for events, profit margins can be slim, meaning that an extra dollar can provide disproportional value.
Digital Activations
For larger events properties, and most properties as a whole, there exists a wealth of options that simply was not available a decade ago. For one, with the rise of digital, properties can now sell assets that are infinitely scalable.
Since marginal costs for digital activations are relatively low, compared to traditional activations such as halftime shows (time is linear, meaning that you'd need to carve out more time for more activations) or signage (there's a limited amount of real estate), properties can offer the ability to scale as far as the number of engaged people, at a very low cost.
Thick vs. Thin Markets
Where in the past, we've seen sponsorship act in a more transactional manner — with it acting as funding or investment, we are now seeing sponsorship act more as a strategic merger.
There are a couple reasons for this. While many in the industry chalk it up to brands finally becoming aware of the benefits of sponsorship, much of this is natural as well. In free and competitive markets, prices will be set by consumers — where the equilibrium price will be determined by supply and demand.
Given niche focuses, sponsorship ends up looking a lot like a thin market: with few buyers and few sellers. A relatively small number of brands will be willing to sponsor a specific asset, and conversely, a small number of properties will suit the needs and objectives of a brand.
[mc4wp_form id="8260″]
Thin markets are suboptimal because they will result in less liquidity and more volatile prices. In the sponsorship industry, we tend to focus on the latter.
That said, we have seen a recent thickening of the market — meaning, among other things, a rise in demands from the property side.
Globally, we have been seeing consistent upticks in sponsorship spend, with it reaching a projected $62.8B (as per IEG).
The Value of "Other" Benefits
The benefits provided to properties are more than purely monetary. A great example of this is something that I've written about before — where colleges are willing to forego money to take a Nike endorsement. While this may seem irrational at first glance, consider the following Econ 101 example:
Where we assume diminishing marginal returns for both money and "other" forms of compensation. Umoney is the utility curve for money, and Uother is the utility curve for "other" forms of benefits (i.e.: brand prestige, activations, etc.).
We need to treat the collection of benefits that properties receive from sponsors as a bundle — where the individual pieces experience diminishing marginal returns. $200 sure looks like a lot more than $100, but $1,100 doesn't seem like a huge downgrade from $1,200. When really, the difference in absolute dollar value is identical.
The conclusion from all this is simple — when properties are receiving more relative dollars from sponsors, the value of it diminishes. This means that brands, to win competitive sponsorships, may now need to provide greater "other" benefits such that the entire package is more appealing than competitive offers.
[mc4wp_form id="8260″]
And we've seen this happen in practice this summer: when McDonald's ended their 41-year sponsorship of the Olympics, the IOC promptly signed Intel to a 7-year deal in an effort to reach younger viewers. Intel provides clear benefits to the IOC — via brand equity and uniquely-Intel activations. The point of comparison here should not be between Intel and McDonald's (who pulled out for financial reasons), but between Intel and other prospective TOP sponsors.
Another fact that I would be remiss to mention is that a strong activation will reap benefits for both sides — both property and brand. Greater engagement for an already niche audience should lead to greater expected revenues.
Unless there is a massive upheaval, it's likely that we won't see significant changes in this industry. While rate of growth in sponsorship spend has traditionally outpaced the rate of growth in events, that gap has been closing over the past several years. The number of events organizations in 2016 grew at a rate of 3%, while sponsorship has been growing at a consistent rate of 4%.
Given the nature of the sponsorship industry, it would be interesting to see a two-sided market emerge — similar to Uber. The sponsorship market would be well-suited for this, and it would significantly help improve market inefficiencies.

I hope you love the products I've recommended below, just a heads up that as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means I may earn commissions on products bought via links on this page.
For most folks a 30 inch tall dining table will do the job. But dining room tables for tall people need to be much higher. That is unless you enjoy hunching over as you eat your dinner. Which I highly doubt you do. One it is not very comfortable and two it is bad for your back.How much taller does a dining room table need to be?. Usually a few inches is enough. But this really depends on your height. So the easiest solution to this ever common tall person problem is to look into counter height dining tables.
Counter height tables are usually 36 inches tall. While they are quite high if you do have shorter family members or guests over, there's an easy solution to this. Extra tall dining room chairs for the shorter guests.
If you can find yourself a nice counter height table in a set, you will most likely get higher seating chairs included. So the shorter folks can still see above the table when eating. The average height for a dining room chair is about 18 inches from top of seat to the floor. So look for a set with chairs that have greater dimensions than 18 inches tall.
However a stool may be required to help them reach the seat of the chair. A small inconvenience, but one that's well worth it for a tall person. The other option a tall person can go with are pub table and chair sets. Below you can find an assortment of chairs and dining room tables for a taller person.
For the full list of counter height dining tables you can view them all on amazon here.
Rustic Tall Dining Table With Extension Leaf
If you already have your dining chairs sorted out and all you need is a rustic style table for 4 to 6 people, Ashley Furniture have this beautiful counter height dining table.The table height stands at 36 inches which gives plenty of clearance beneath for tall people, while high enough that you don't have to hunch over to eat. Because it's a drop in leaf extension, this table can transform from a 4 person to a 6 person dining table quite easy.
Without the extension out the table is rectangular and measure 42″ x 60″ which is suitable for 6 guests. Having no corner posts means the chairs wont tangle up together either which is a nice touch.
When converted down it becomes a 42″ square table. The underneath cube does interfere when pushing chairs in slightly. Not enough to cause headaches. But it's a must when you have a table like this. Plus you can store books or a nice vase underneath for presentation.
Overall it's a very sturdy and solid wooden dining table. The softly aged brown finish to the table creates a rustic appeal any country style kitchen would admire.
Two Tone 36″ Tall Dining Room Table
If your dining room is lacking a focal point and you really want the dining table to stand out and scream 'look at me', then this 36 inch tall dining table by Coaster Home Furnishings may be the focal point you need.
This table has a beautiful two tone finish with a high quality design finish. It doesn't look cheap because it doesn't use cheap materials. This table is the real deal. It will require 2 or 3 people to turn over the table once you screw in the legs. It's not a cheap mdf knock off. It's real hard wood and boy can you feel it when you lift it.
The top is a amaretto finish while the trim work and legs are black in a satin like finish. The legs have been turned to add more glamour and uniqueness to this table. Along the black trim is a bead like finish which completes the final 'Wow' appeal.
The table is available as a standalone tall persons table, or you can by the matching dining chairs to complete the set. This table also features an extension leaf which makes this an 8 person table measuring in at 60″ x 60″ when extended. When not extended it's a 42″ by 60″ dining table.
Round Oval Table For Tall People
Another fine piece of dining furniture by Coaster Home Furnishings. This 42″ round dining table is counter height at 36 inches tall. Yest another table with a leaf extension that transforms this round table into a 62 inch long oval table. Perfect for 2 in a romantic setting, or 4 with the leaf extension for a small family.
Underneath the table is a nice storage cabinet. A great place to keep wine glasses or elegant dishes. This storage area is about 24″ x 24″ with a height of 8 inches. So there's enough space inside to store dishes for about 6 people comfortably.
The table is a standalone dining table which is finished in a deep cappuccino color. It's also available in a dark cherry color but this is only available in a set with 4 chairs included.
You do need some minor assembly if you buy this dining table, which normally I'm not a fan of as they can tend to be wobbly. But this table by Coaster is quite sturdy and level. If you're looking for a darker true cappuccino color table to fit your 24 inch dining chairs under, this is a great choice. Moderately priced and looks like it's worth far more than what it costs. A very modern appeal with some handy storage options.
*Available as single table or as a set with 4 chairs. Alternatively matching chairs can be bought separately.
Solid Wood Tall Persons Dining Table
It's amazing what you can buy online in comparison to some local stores. This rectangle solid wood extra tall dining table was pretty much impossible for me to find in store. Fortunately East West Furniture have it available on amazon.
What was appealing to me besides being very sturdy and made from 100% solid wood was the detail on the tables trims. While it's a simple 36 inch tall table in essence, this serrated edge pattern engraved into the tables trims gives it a much more rustic and cottage appeal.
This table does come in a variety of colors and finishes from black to white. But I like the Mahogany as it ages it and makes it stand out from the crowd. Plus because it's a stained finish on real hard wood and not cheap pressurized chip board you can do your own maintenance to this table.
It's inevitable that the table will get some scratches over the years. So a quick sand and a further coat or two of mahogany stain will make it look brand new again.
In terms of size, it's a set size. There's no leaf extension on this table. It's a rectangular 48″ x 30″ with a extra tall height of 36 inches. Assembly is super easy and will only take you minutes. So don't waste your money paying someone to assemble this for you. Perfect for 2-4 people.
Taller Dining Chairs & Table Sets
Above you found dining chairs which came as single tables with the option for buying chairs separate. If you're looking to buy dining room table sets for taller people then the sets listed below all have a table height of 36 inches. At this height you will find that 24 inch chairs will fit quite well. But again, the tables listed below come in sets. You will need to check to see if you can buy the table by itself if you already have your own dining chairs.
How To Know What Size Table To Buy
Each and everyone of us will have different dining room size requirements. But it can be hard to know when you buy online whether or not a table will fir 4 people or 6. The following information should help clear this up for you so you know what you are getting before you buy.
In terms of height, you will pretty much have to get a counter height/bar height dining table. This is fine for tall people. But if you are say just 6 foot, you may be able to get away with dining table foot extensions. There are a few options available which can raise your existing table to a more suitable height.
When determining how many people you can comfortably fit around a table you first need to consider the width of the chair. Most chairs are around 20 inches wide. So unless you want to be sitting on top of each other, you must allow for about 6 inches of gap between each chair.
So on average if you allow 26-28 inches in width per person you can work out how many can fit at the table. For example, lets say you buy a table that is 90inch long by 60 inches wide. Length ways you could fit 3 people on each side. On the two ends you could squeeze in 2 on each end. So in total you could essentially fit 10 people on a 90″ x 60″ table. But in reality it's probably best suited to 8 people. 3 on each side and one on either end.

hey there,
I'm Jen Coursey, wife to Chris and mom of Matthew and Andrew. I'm glad to be here with you.
Thriving Mamas came from a desire to branch out further to moms that struggle with "joyful" parenting.
As co-founder of THRIVEtoday, with my husband, we discovered early on the importance of joy. Studies are showing that our brain's desired default is joy – or knowing that someone is glad to be with us.
I can tell you honestly that before my parenting journey began, I was deeply struggling with joy. And once my children were born, it became even more difficult to live with that as my default.
I knew I couldn't be the only one – so here we are. Chris and I created a range of exercises and skills, known as the 19 Relational Skills™ through our nonprofit: THRIVEtoday.
While this has been a great way to reach a large variety of people from all walks of life, I knew that my heart has always had a huge spot for moms. The other Thriving Mamas on this site shared that their hearts are for the same mission and we knew we had to get together and start something.
I can confidently say from all of us, "We are glad to be with you!"
Hello! My name is Kristy and I am wife to Nik and mama to four amazing kiddos – Elise, Joel, Erik, and James.
Before having kids, I truly had no idea what I was getting myself into. On the one hand, being a mom has been way more fulfilling than I could ever have imagined. The love I feel for these precious people has overwhelmed me on countless occasions.
However, parenting has also been the hardest thing I have ever done. Being a mom has revealed many of my own relational deficits, bringing me over and over again to the feet of Jesus in need of His help and transformation in my life.
On the bright side of that, parenting has been God's greatest tool to draw me close to Him and to grow and develop me more into the image of Jesus. As He has grown my own capacity and relational skills, I awe at the changes that have come in my life and my family.
It is with great excitement that I join Thriving Mamas to offer you hope, encouragement, and support in your parenting journey. As we link arms as fellow moms and grow in building joy and connection in our families, beautiful things will come!
– Kristy
Hi friends, I'm Lieza. Before I became wife to Paxton, and mom to my two boys and girl, I was (and still am!) a lover of all things color, design, and storytelling.
With a passion and background in design, I first got involved in THRIVEtoday to help out with some marketing. As Jen wrote for that ministry, she would invite me to guest blog and I became hooked. So here we are – joining forces and making Thriving Mamas its own thing.
As a lower energy, lower joy person, parenting (and marriage) have been some of the steepest stairs I've had to climb. But like Kristy shared, it's also these things that have made me most like Jesus. Not a day goes by that I'm not only grateful Jesus doesn't leave us where we are, but that He also gave me a rockstar partner to walk with me in my low points. I know He will use my struggles to show the depth of His love and to show you that you're not alone in these low points either.
For all of my Enneagram sisters out there, I'm a true-blue Type 2 with 3 wing.

Read: The Origin of Valentine's Day, Part 1 of 2
The second lore is one of the more interesting origin of Valentine's Day. It starts with the Bishop of Terni in Italy.He was martyred in the year 270. The story goes that when the Roman emperor ordered that soldiers should never marry, Valentine refused to obey and went on to perform secret weddings for those in the army.He was then imprisoned for that crime.While he was then in prison, he fell in love with the daughter of the jailor.And before he was set out to be beheaded, he left a love note for his beloved and was signed, "Your Valentine."
Even as the story was passed from generation to generation, Valentine was then seen as the spirit of true love. In the middle ages, the custom continued of young men and women receiving by lot his or her "Valentine" for the coming year.This is mentioned in Chaucer and Shakespeare. In some cases, choosing a partner by lot is a serious business, which eventually leads to marriage.While in some cases, it's no more than a game.There used to be a popular belief that the first man to be seen by a woman on February fourteen had to be her Valentine, without objections from either party.

Opening links from Evolution
I got a note from Rob Haynes, who found my June 4 entry about the trouble I was having with the Evolution email client not opening links in a browser. He wrote to tell me that he found the solution on an old Ximian mail list posting here. The solution is pretty simple:
- Run /opt/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties.
- Select "Custom Web Browser."
- Enter the appropriate command for your browser. For me that was "firefox %s".
Working with Linux can be so frustrating at times. I never would have thought to set GNOME applications properties to affect the operation of my mail client under KDE. It makes some sense, though, seeing that Evolution is a GNOME application.

COVID's 'Next Normal' Fueling Cloud Migration
The pandemic's impact on how and where enterprise IT infrastructure is deployed remains an open question, with datacenter backers arguing security doubts will keep corporate data on-premises while cloud advocates insist COVID-19 is forcing the migration of more workloads out of datacenters.
The uncertainty is among the reasons some public cloud vendors are hedging their bets with hybrid cloud offerings.
Among the latest surveys on the pandemic's effect on enterprise IT is a poll released during this week's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe Virtual Event. The survey commissioned by DevOps automation specialist Codefresh found that COVID-19 is at least prompting a reconsideration of on-premises infrastructure strategies.
The vendor survey released on Tuesday (Aug. 18) found that 58 percent of those polled are moving some infrastructure to the cloud in response to the pandemic. Of those, 17 percent are planning to move their entire software stack to the cloud.
Meanwhile, 75 percent said the pandemic has convinced them to move at least some infrastructure to the cloud, "representing a dramatic shift in strategy and further adoption towards the cloud," Codefresh asserted.
Those findings differ from earlier surveys that uncovered lingering security and reliability concerns about a wholesale shift to the cloud. For example, an annual survey by the Uptime Institute released last month found that more than half of enterprise workloads are expected to remain in-house through 2022.
Meanwhile, a separate study released this week by business consultant Deloitte reports that cloud computing was cited by 80 percent of respondents as a "most relevant" technology as part of a "next normal." An equal number cited cybersecurity. Investments in cloud and other digital technologies cloud "increase business agility, improve competitiveness and better prepare organizations to persevere, and position them well for the post-COVID environment," the Deloitte study concludes.
If a pandemic-driven migration to the cloud does unfold, DevOps teams are expected to become even busier deploying cloud-native applications and services. Hence, the Codefresh survey forecasts a rise in DevOps budgets through the end of the year. Nearly three quarters of those polled said they are increasing DevOps spending, while more than half expect budgets increases of at least 25 percent.
Part of that increased spending is aimed at automating steps in the application development workflow. However, two thirds of engineers said they spend an inordinate amount of time fixing bugs in the very automated systems designed to ease their burdens.
That reality underscores the need for enterprise development teams to do their homework before selecting a DevOps automation stack, the vendor survey notes.
Despite growing skepticism about the across-the-board utility of the Kubernetes as well as ongoing security concerns about the cluster orchestrator, the Codefresh survey also found that 73 percent of respondents expect to use it for new cloud projects. Meanwhile, 75 percent have either deployed Kubernetes or expect to soon.
