So, you know how Pete Davidson has become something of a go-to joke at Saturday Night Live, mostly about him not being there for reason X, Y or Z? Yeah, he wasn't in on the joke and he's ready to leave the show. But to be fair to the Saturday Night Live writers, a big part of his persona was his bits on "Weekend Update" where he would sort of wallow in his immaturity, so maybe they assumed they were laughing with him not laughing at him? In any event, this week at studio 8H is going to be awkward. (Reminder: He has a Netflix special debuting today.) (Also a reminder: I will never forgive him for giving my now-Congressman Dan Crenshaw TONS of free publicity.)
MSNBC is sorry for Chris Matthews comparing Bernie Sanders to Nazis, and promise to hire some more pro-Sanders progressives.
In an interview with The New York Times, Hank Azaria explains that he based his version of Apu on Peter Sellers' character in The Party, a pretty racist movie from the sixties that also inspired Mr. Bean. (Huh!)
Go figure, the glut of television is a mixed blessing for writers: More opportunities! Less pay.
Jussie Smollett pleaded not guilty to new charges of falsifying police records. Good luck with that, Jussie.
Oh, Jules. What I will say is that Jules and Michael's relationship never seemed healthy on RHONY, but I always suspected HE was the abuser.
Meanwhile, Chad from The Bachelorette being arrested for felony domestic violence is the single most predictable thing ever.
Time's Up
Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of criminal sex act in the first degree and rape in the third degree, thank the lord. He was not found guilty of the two more serious charges against him, two counts of predatory sexual assault, and that sucks, but I'm just happy some justice is being served. Furthermore, the judge was like, "No you do not get to remain out on bail, you dangerous monster, off to Rikers with you until sentencing!" But then Weinstein claimed he was having chest pains, and sent to a hospital instead, the big fucking coward. That's alright. He'll get his.
The jury came back. Harvey Weinstein is found guilty. He is. He did this.

Gratitude to the brave women who've testified and to the jury for seeing through the dirty tactics of the defense .we will change the laws in the future so that rape victims are heard and not discredited and so that it's easier for people to report their rapes

Today's outcome in Harvey Weinstein's New York trial is the result of the decisions of multiple women to come forward to journalists and to prosecutors at great personal cost and risk. Please keep those women in your thoughts today.

Since the Everywhere Developers Conference, the iPhone has gained no life and also it being called the iPhone 4. The truth is that when Apple does something, it does it well. Lets get one thing straight; this article is not clearing away take away from anyone who home loan giants get the apple iphone 4g but someone must point out its flaws. After all, Jobs would never do such to become a thing.
If you're travelling abroad and want to have some peace of mind in respect to the money conversion, you should download an absolutely free currency app. Why download just a random currency app when you've got can download the best of the best- for free?!? This Android app, developed by Pocketools, can provide you quite simple currency calculator from a very basic user vent. However, if you desire more currency information, this app is capable of doing that too: you can observe currency trends over a 5 year period, graph any currency against any other, convert any currency to another (all currencies of planet are located on this app) or do about additional thing can easily think of if entails any for this world's legal tender.
This among the those 'must-have' type Apps that every self respecting iPhone owner should experience. It rates very highly in usability that has a surprising amount of features for something marketed as time. For example, it has multiple themes and colors to suit everyone's taste, also displays local weather information, an mp3 player and one more flashlight a person believe. Our test team rated this one highly to the ease of use and in particular its usefulness, probably the flawless App any person away in your own home.
The connectivity system by means of cable. And also proreviewsapp is PCL 5E. The printer delivers 10,000 – 20,000 prints for one to three users, based on levels of usage. Its spare parts are available everywhere and the printer macOS is actually economical model.
I in order to know they have not found price reductions to be the best strategy. We initially thought this might be very effective as the App store structure is placed up to rank APP REVIEWS together with number of total recordings. Higher total sales and total downloads by price category are not currently recognized with Apple's system.
The biggest upgrade for the T-Mobile MyTouch is the keyboard. Unlike the G1 laptop keyboards is the key touch tv screen. This is a feature how the iPhone has used too much success. The MyTouch vibrates when an essential has been touched to help you to know a person simply did it correctly. Present in that recently been added exactly what is called predictive written text.
These are eight purposes why mobile app startups get wrong. Following these notions does not guarantee success – you will discover factors that could be tip the scales against you. And the percentage of failed startups is ever increasing. But that's business, and moving on, keeping these things in mind, boost your chances for success on the mobile economy.

Consumer protection laws provide legal recourse for individuals who are harmed by abusive business practices or defective products. See Consumer Rights—Consumer Protection Law, HG.org. These laws hold sellers of goods and services accountable when they exploit a consumer's lack of knowledge or bargaining power. Manufacturers are also held responsible for defective products that injure consumers. A class of consumers seeking compensation for the harm suffered because of abusive business practices or defective products presents a serious litigation hazard to even the largest corporations due to the potential award of substantial monetary damages. However, a corporation can ensure the matter is not presented before a court by settling with the named plaintiff. Settlement offers are a defendant's countermeasure to litigation, sizable monetary judgments, or punitive damages.
Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct. 663 (2016), examined whether an unaccepted offer to satisfy the named plaintiff's individual claim is sufficient to moot a putative class action claim. Gomez considers a plaintiff's ability to reject a settlement offer or offer of judgment and maintain a case and controversy required by Article III. The Court was split on the application of Article III and Federal Rule 68 regarding the lower courts' ability to provide relief after a settlement offer has been made to the plaintiff. The Court held that the class representative's rejection of the settlement offer did not moot the plaintiff's individual or putative class action claims. The Court opined that a rejected settlement offer retained the initial interest of both parties in the litigation. The plaintiff did not choose to obtain any relief from the defendant's offer and is therefore still entitled to relief from the court. This case provides procedural protection for consumers seeking to pursue individual and putative class actions. However, it also provides powerful corporations alternative means to force individuals into settlements and avoid putative class actions. This will be detrimental to consumers seeking legal redress for harm caused by abusive business practices or poorly made goods.
This case note discusses how Gomez protects a plaintiff's ability to bring independent and putative class action claims. Second, it discusses the future implications Gomez will have on class action claims. Finally, this case note briefly discusses the implications Gomez will have on Fourth Circuit jurisprudence and consumers within those markets.

Last week a Rhode Island father and career criminal named Melvin Taylor caught the attention of Turtleboy Sports when he sent an online lynch mob after some dooshnozzle who allegedly beat his 16 year old daughter at the Cranston Carnival:
He has since taken down all of those posts because he realized what a moron he looked like. Then the Cranston Police Department put this on their Facebook page yesterday:
Good. They all deserve to be in jail. Savages like this make it impossible for families to enjoy nice things. Because they just can't resist the urge to act like ignorant hood rats, even when they're around children at a community event.
But here's my question – when is Melvin Taylor's trashbag daughter getting arrested too? The video CLEARLY showed that she went out of her way to participate in this fight and threw several punches at one of the ding-dongs who was arrested.
As you can see, home girl got mad squabbles!!! But clearly she was not defending herself. Winston Rivera's court appointed attorney is probably gonna get this one tossed out with ease, since the video doesn't show any brass knuckles clearly enough to convict, nor does it show him intentionally hitting this girl. She falls and she gets trampled. Because that's what happens to skags who insert themselves in Ghettomania.
Now that Winston Rivera is in jail Mevlin Taylor seems to think this somehow vindicates his embarrassing online behavior, as well as the fact that he raised a girl who is clearly destined to be unwed and pregnant by the time she's 19.
Newsflash Mevlin – you did not raise your daughter to defend herself. You raised her to be white trash, just like you. The Cranston Carnival and events like that should be a safe place for parents to take their kids. But it's not because of people like Winston Rivera and your little princess. Only a matter of time she ends up prison too and it will be all your fault because you have failed as a father.
P.S. You know what the biggest surprise is? Winston Rivera is from Newport!!! Is Newport turning into Rhode Island's Hampton Beach? I thought that was for rich people and tennis players. Guess the riffraf has learned how to navigate over a bridge. Same thing happened to Cape Cod. The only thing left for normal people to do is move to the islands I guess.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island attracts ghetto rat colonies. Celebrate the diversity of the ghetto. Nontraditional familes. This crap never happened even a few short decades ago seems to coincide nicely with the destruction of families and rise in the welfare class as a permanent lucrative choice.
I believe that Mel Taylor's TWO daughter are among the minors arrested. He is still probably proud because he believes they were defending themselves. On a side note, I believe they were fighting to put themselves out there and find future mates. Like a debutante ball for scumbags.
It's funny, as adults we often wonder why children behave the way they do… and this story, and the jackhole father of the little fake blood-spatten hood-rat, is a classic example of why it is they do what they do in behaving so reckless and irresponsible… it's because mommy or daddy is, and for all intents and purposes always has been.
Been thinking about this one a lot TB and I must say, as much as I agree that these ville savages are a plague on society, at least they're not killing each other…. That would be decidedly worse, even if it did rid is of a few of these stains. You see, I'd rather see these gangs scraping it out with fists than guns. If this were Chicago there would be 5 dead- sons daughters brothers sisters… You get the idea. Go beat the snot out of each other at a trashy fair and settle your stupid little feud.. No one had to die… Just a thought
And you honestly think if one of them had a gun it wouldn't have been used? The only reason why someone isn't dead is not because of some sublime nobility you seem to give to their efforts in only using their fists, but because someone just didn't have a gun to use. You give these savages too much credit. And frankly, if someone had been shot and killed, you honestly think their attitude would be any different toward one another? These wastes of air could care less about the value of life.
Can't stop laughing at this clown trying to compare his POS daughter getting into a fight at Fiesta Shows to a professional fighter/Olympian. What a meatball. Him being proud of her behavior shows how bottom of the barrel these people are. Any normal parent would be the exact opposite of proud
The lesson here: Do not presume that a place that was nice and peaceful the last time you were there is still that way. "People" like these are everywhere now They reproduce like rats and infest all of society in one way or another. How much do you wanna bet that there's some form of undeserved government benefits involved in supporting all these families? We're paying for this, folks, and it's gotta stop.

Two scouts and two adult leaders from Sea Scout Ship 100, DOMINION, donned their formal dress white uniforms to perform the flag raising during the opening ceremony of Quantico Yacht Club's fourth annual Open House. Shortly thereafter, they swapped out uniforms for sailing clothes, so they could enjoy the unit's first race, the QYC's first annual Ocean Research Project Regatta. Scouts Zach Skiles and Aidan Wiecki were accompanied by the unit's skipper,Todd Skiles, and adult leader Peter Wiecki.
Though I am "officially retired" from Sea Scouting, at Skipper Skiles' request, I put my Sailing Coach hat back on for this special occasion. The five of us sailed Ship 100's Catalina 22, BENJAMIN CHASE, the vessel named after the two Tiger Cub Scouts killed in the Sandy Hook mass shooting.
The first two hours were marked by light to no air–which was a challenge for our crew–but they came up with ways to pass the time until the wind finally picked up just before we made the first mark.
Once we were "really sailing," spirits brightened and everyone enjoyed the jaunt back down river to the finish. It did not hurt that we took home the 3rd place award for spinnaker class.

A Pig and a Bloke : George Miller roared into the Apocalypse with 'Mad Max.' Now he's shepherding the gentle 'Babe.' But the films' heroes, he says, are actually brothers under the skin.
Somewhere over India, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the '80s, George Miller suddenly woke up. Flying to London, having just wrapped his third Mad Max feature, "Beyond Thunderdome," the exhausted director-writer-producer inexplicably tuned in the plane's children's audio channel. A woman was reading from Dick King-Smith's 80-page children's book "The Sheep-Pig."
"She lost control, just started to laugh this rich, genuine laugh," he explains delightedly in a smoother version of an Australian ocker. " 'What tickled her fancy?' I wondered. As soon as I landed in London I bought the book first thing, went to the hotel and read it. I never thought of adapting it. I just needed a good laugh."
But that good laugh captured Miller's imagination and wouldn't let go. And like Farmer Hoggett, Miller has learned that those little ideas that nibble and persist should never be ignored, because in them lie the seeds of destiny.
A decade and a hemisphere later, Miller, 51, sits in what used to be the balcony of the cavernous Art Deco Metro Theatre, half a block away from the neon and burlesque of King's Cross, Sydney's red-light district.
Open-faced, with an unstudied charm that would be truly disarming in Hollywood, Miller is more like your favorite philosophy professor, too cool to care about tenure, than a producer whose picture boasts seven Oscar nominations, including those for best picture, best director for Chris Noonan and best screenplay adaptation for Miller and Noonan.
While his assistant makes arrangements on the phone for his trip to the Academy Awards, Miller greets his guest with the calm good humor of a man easy in his own skin, actually curious about what's going on around him, just the sort of bloke who would spend 10 years with a talking pig.
For a man who came to Hollywood's attention with the apocalyptic visions of the Mad Max trilogy, Miller's evolution as a filmmaker has been almost mystical.
"I see filmmaking as a strange journey," he says, relaxing over coffee.
"In mythology, the trickster leads you into the forest. Film is, to me, the trickster. I think I can be around a thousand years and never understand the process."
Below us, in the old auditorium, the last play closed decades ago. Until 15 years ago it served as a supermarket before becoming the de facto mini-studio for Kennedy Miller Productions. "Babe" got a little post-production mileage in what used to be canned goods. Not at all the techno shrine one would expect after witnessing the film's state-of-the-art effects. In fact, Miller says, it took so long to bring "Babe" to the screen because the technology simply hadn't existed.
"I traveled everywhere, America, Japan, looking for the technology," Miller says. "The first time we budgeted it out, it came to $100 million. Fortunately, the technology advances quickly."
Kennedy Miller Productions won't confirm or deny it, but reports put the budget at $35 million, an astounding sum by Australian film standards, making "Babe" the most expensive Australian production ever. But it's not gizmos or zeros that captured critics' awards and audiences' hearts, turning a British children's fable into a Hollywood crossover fairy tale. To Miller, it's the power of an unprejudiced heart.
"That's the real point of the film," he offers with a smile. "It's an anti-prejudice piece. The farm animals are frozen in their beliefs, there's institutionalized prejudice and here comes the innocent heart that breaks it all down."
Miller, who is a vegetarian, hates to disappoint the vegans who say that "Babe" is to carnivorism what "Gentleman's Agreement" was to anti-Semitism.
Nonetheless, he insists that the other primary issue of the film is not vegetarianism but one he finds personally most powerful: the moment when a child finally loses his innocence.
"When Babe learns the truth about pigs, that they exist for the boss to eat, will he be crushed or go forward?" he asks.
How do you confront a terrible truth in a courageous way? Is it possible to grow up and still keep an unprejudiced heart? These are the questions, hilariously put, that have turned "Babe" into an international and intergenerational hit.
In fact, aside from possibly the Pork Council, adults have embraced the little piggy like a nice honey glaze. Miller, however, hesitates to say how "Babe" became one of the few non-Disney kid flicks ever to strike a chord with grown-ups.
"I don't think you can tell why a film works or doesn't until a long time later," Miller says. "It's taken me 10 years to see why 'Mad Max' worked."
He pauses thoughtfully, adding, " 'Babe' invites children to deal with adult issues and adults to see like children again. Someone who writes more eloquently than me said it invites adults and children into the audience as equals." His eyes smile, as if the analysis is beside the point. "I can answer more accurately in 10 years."
Miller is a man with the long view. He began his career as a doctor. In 1972, while still an intern at St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, he and best friend Byron Kennedy (who died in 1982) made a $1,500 short, "Violence in the Cinema, Part One."
The film won awards and thrust Miller into the vanguard of Australian filmmakers with other '70s wunderkinder like Peter Weir ("Picnic at Hanging Rock," "Dead Poets Society"), Gillian Armstrong ("My Brilliant Career," "Little Women"), Bruce Beresford ("The Fringe Dwellers," "Driving Miss Daisy") and Fred Schepisi ("The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith," "Six Degrees of Separation"). Along with "Mad Max," the short film is part of the New York Museum of Modern Art retrospective "Strictly Oz: A History of Australian Film" that was recently staged in Los Angeles and will be moving to Atlanta in time for the Olympics.
As with Miller's contemporaries, early success in films brought him big-ticket Hollywood assignments. And big Hollywood headaches.
"Working with [Peter] Guber and [Jon] Peters on 'The Witches of Eastwick' was a very unhappy, dysfunctional experience," he says simply. "Although it was glorious working with Susan Sarandon, Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, it's a wonder half a film came out the other end. As a self-taught filmmaker, I prefer to put all my energies into making the film, and too much else in Hollywood goes on that gets in the way of filmmaking. I find I can't do things by committee."
Miller is full of compliments, however, when it comes to Universal, the studio behind "Babe" and "Lorenzo's Oil," for which he received his first Oscar nomination, for original screenplay with Nick Enright.
"Universal left us alone with 'Babe,' " he says. "They said, 'We trust you, you've made lots of films, go do it your way.' That's music to my ears, so you want to honor it the best you can."
Still, Miller turned the director's chair on "Babe" over to Chris Noonan, who had won awards for directing documentaries and Miller-produced television dramas but had never made a feature film. Characteristically generous, Miller doesn't covet Noonan's best director nomination.
"I didn't direct 'Babe,' for very good reasons," he says, smiling, as if wondering how much to reveal. "I'm very obsessive as a director. I would have got too caught up in which way the duck was looking. 'Babe' was a pre-planned military exercise--every animal movement was trained into them months ahead. Nothing was spontaneous. If I was on set every day, I would have lost the big picture. As producer, I got to sit back and take a more Olympian view. Even then, I drove everyone crazy."
It's hard to imagine any serious Hollywood player less crazy-making than Miller, although he claims to know how to use the tactical tantrum to his advantage. "Every director knows that."
It was not required on "Babe." The project that started with a laugh may have required perseverance, patience and NATO-like logistics but was always a labor of love.
"We were infected by the spirit of the book," Miller recalls. "We were middle-aged men earnest about what we were doing. We felt it was valuable to do and treated the material seriously but always had great fun."
So much fun that there will be a sequel?
"I don't know what happens to me in showers, johns and airplanes," Miller says laughing, "but I was flying somewhere thinking of 'Babe' and a story came up, so I'll sit and write the idea up and see if something's there. The trickster always leads you into the forest, though."
The merry trickster does indeed work in mysterious ways, taking Miller from nuclear Armageddon to Hoggett farm. He seems to be the only one unfazed by the journey.
"I don't see Babe and Mad Max as very different," he explains philosophically. "They're both individuals wandering in unknown landscapes trying to find meaning, overcome a number of obstacles, reach the moment their essence is tested and through courage effect change in the world they inhabit. It's essentially the hero story told again.
"Depending on your point of view, the chaos at the turn of the millennium is either the new dawn or the apocalypse. 'Mad Max' is one, 'Babe' the other, sunnier side."
Miller looks a little surprised, then his eyes do that laughing thing again when asked about his own personal evolution. Let's face it, Joseph Campbell aside, Max and the pig are not exactly soul mates.
"I have to recognize I've gone to the much more optimistic view of the world," Miller acknowledges with what seems like pleasure and relief. "Humankind is extraordinary. We're a tiny planet in a vast universe, sorrowful and joyous, exhilarating and terrifying. Whatever happens, it's a scary ride, but still, it's a fabulous adventure."
As Australians cheer favorite sons Miller and Noonan and adopted Yank Mel Gibson toward little gold statuettes, Miller dismisses any expectations about his big night at the Music Center.
"There's a strange mystique to Oscar," he confesses, "but without false modesty, I'd be a complete fool to be disappointed if we didn't win any, because it's all totally unexpected.
"Besides, there's only one moment of truth in filmmaking--when you sit in the theater with a paying audience for the first time. They've paid the baby-sitter, parked the car, bought the tickets and they're waiting for magic on the screen. That's the moment. Everything else is secondary to that."
Then he smiles, like a trickster at play or a man hearing laughter high in the midnight Indian sky.

The beer runners were a great fabric find on the free table at a guild meeting that gave me three runners. The turquoise print another free find that meeting as well. The red 1930 prints, which I got four runners from are the last of my de-stash of my red 1930 prints.
A nice start with 11 runners complete.
Over the last couple days since our spring weather has taken a turn back to rainy days I complete 3 yellow runners finishing off my 1930 yellow stash.
So since I am on a roll I cut up the rest of my blue 1930 prints to make three more runners.
And, here are the green prints to finish off.
We came home from our River Boat trip to our Bird of Paradise in full bloom. The little humming birds love this area of our yard. They not only get fed but think our fountain is their spa. We often have as many as 3 or 4 of them buzzing around.

Hi DonnaleeQ! Oh that bird of paradise is just gorgeous. I put out my first hummingbird feeder this year and am thrilled that I have them visiting it already. I can just picture them enjoying the fountain! Great idea to start on the table runners early, as we all know how quickly time passes and the best laid plans get side-tracked so easily. Such fun fabrics from the free table - I really like that beer one! ~smile~ RoseanneReplyDelete
Wow, that's a fantastic start on your runners! I LOVE the beer runner too. How great to actually have found that on the free table! Your bird of paradise is beautiful!ReplyDelete
What pretty green print, I mean they are all pretty, lol. I really should look into guilds in my area. Thank you so much for linking up with me.ReplyDelete
Love that yellow one!!ReplyDelete
Pretty runners and a lovely garden spot. We love our hummingbirds here too and love to watch them "protect" their areas, buzzing & dive-bombing anyone in their way. It's always sweet to see several of them "sharing" the feeders too.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your Bird of Paradise in full bloom. Gorgeous!! A bit of ORANGE for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. LOVE those table runners, too!ReplyDelete
always fun to see what you are working on!!ReplyDelete

All in all, you ought to be cautious of choosing formal business attires when going for an interview. Dressing properly will make you look rather more professional. Let's have a quick take a look at what it is best to know. Lie on the floor with legs straight out and your palms at your sides. Lift your legs straight till they're almost at a 90 degree angle. DO NOT bend your knees. Lower your legs without letting your legs touch the floor.
Machines may look engaging to make use of, but they will not offer you a lot results. You'll not build bigger muscle tissues by sticking with them. Free weights are better. Equally, do not just go for a lot of reps with lighter weight; big weights and basic workout routines are more effective.
Increase your upper torso in direction of your knees.

And who is aware of, with just a little time, possibly he could build his MLM business to the place he's making sufficient money that he might simply decide he likes this thing referred to as residual income and the time freedom his MULTILEVEL MARKETING enterprise offers him and may decide he does not want another corporate place!
Do you know who you might be? So what do you do?
If you don't hear or perceive a query asked of you, then ask the interviewer to repeat it or to rephrase the to present an entire reply to the question A wrinkled shirt (iron your shirt earlier than sporting). Together with sticking to professional writing standards, when dashing off enterprise-related emails you'll serve your career well if you happen to communicate solely professional messages. Listed here are a number of ideas for writing enterprise emails:
The one problem is, we live in the north so the weather is not at all times conducive to out of doors swimming.

These days cultural diversity plays a significant role in a company. The criteria discriminating these groups include race, geographic basis, civilization, gender, age, functional or educational background, physical and cognitive competence, language, lifestyles, beliefs, cultural background, economic category, occupancy with the organization and sexual preference. As a MNC works in a global market it must be ready to detect all possible changes in the global environment and it has to be able to communicate and adapt the identity of the company to them. For example in India women's will not work for night so they have to manage time for their convenience. The company can't offer quality products or services to the customers if it doesn't understand and take in account the impact that the culture has in all the processes. Workers usually think that their behavior hasn't got any influence on the final product or service, but to be effective, every part must have a clear vision of the company and a clear mission on it. The social, political and enterprise structure depends on everyone in the company, so the internal area and the human resources, one of the most important areas of a company, must be developed with the rest of the company to achieve their goals. The misunderstanding and ignoring of different cultures, language and historical background lead to disasters in the field of setting up multinational business. To avoid this, a general knowledge of another nation's culture and history is essential. So general cultural knowledge, if coupled with prejudice and prejudgment, is an obstacle to effective global management. 2.1 Communication and language barriers
One main challenge under culture is language barriers. Communication is necessary for management. Yet communication relies upon a common language, a condition that does not exist in many global business situations and that is when the problems start. The most pronounced sign of the language barrier at work can be found in the relationship between a multinational parent company and its network of global subsidiaries. Several factors contribute to the difficulty of achieving and sustaining effective communications and a productive, collaborative relationship. Even if an employee is relatively competent in the language of the other party, loss of rhetorical skills is always present as the use of humor, symbolism, sensitivity, negotiation,
persuasion and motivation requires a very high level of fluency. 2.2 Attitudes towards Appointments and Deadlines
In America, Americans were give strict obedience to time commitments and it was a basic principle of professionalism and polite behavior. Because everything tends to be strictly scheduled, postponements in one appointment or deadline can have a serious ripple effect on a coworker or customer's other work commitments. But for example: The more flexible and open-ended approach to time of Indian and Sri Lankan businesses culture can create tensions and adverse impressions on American counterparts 3. MNC Workforce Diversity
Multinational Companies (MNC) had to face a number of new challenges in their daily business over the past couple of years. Globalization changed various things for global players. In general MNC structure shows a focus on their main resources and departments like finance, technology, marketing, sales and production, because they want to have a large number of customers and to earn profit. A huge challenge MNC have to manage is their workforce diversity. The milestone research by Hofstede with 116,000 recruits of IBM, a giant MNC in 50 countries and 3 regions recognized four cultural values in the workplace: Individualism-collectivism, Power difference, Uncertainty avoidance and masculinity-femininity. For example: the United States was the greatest and Guatemala was lowest in individualism. Malaysia was the highest and Austria was the lowest in the power distance values. Greece was the highest and Singapore was the lowest in the uncertainty avoidance values. Japan was the highest and Sweden was the lowest in the masculinity values. There have been significant amount of intercultural and cross-cultural studies with these cultural values, and some studies demonstrated the relationship between communication styles with some of these values. Because of this diversity one of the key success factors of MNC is the recruitment and selection of human resources who offer valuable uniqueness. These individuals are forming the values and beliefs of a business. There are two key challenges within global HRM specifically building global corporate cultures and developing global leaders that have to be mastered in order to manage diversity and be successful in the global business surroundings.
Managing diversity in MNC during HRM
To manage workforce diversity in MNC it's a challenge for the human resource management to set up a global corporate culture. To recognize with the corporate culture of the company is the most significant thing for the workforce. That is why building a global corporate culture is one of the most important challenges for Multinational Companies. Employee behavior is possibly the most critical challenge that multinational organizations have to deal with. In Multinational Companies there is a huge potential of conflicts, because of its diverse personalities. As a result of this anxieties will arise among employees. Individuals try to adapt their behaviors to fit the demands of a particular environment. In order to adapt to the environment, individuals sacrifice their individualities to fit in with their new cooperatives. Individuals become incorporated into the culture of an organization when they are successfully understood into the workplace. Successful cultural adaptation reduces members' anxiety, role conflict, and intentions to leave. Additionally, successful adaptation increases organizational obligation, job satisfaction, confidence, and job familiarity as well as successful acculturation and establishment of relationship. 4. Challenges of Working across Culture
They are usually misrepresentations and inaccuracies fixed in false guesses and faulty analysis. Usually this valuation is seen in a negative perspective. The challenges to organizations are to acknowledge differences in positive terms. Power struggles and can be the result of stereotyping in organizations. For example, placing women, who stereotypically have had lower status than men in society; in senior management positions create status incongruence in the minds of many of the people. This can root complexities in the leader/subordinate relationship and can root power differences in a business. This is done in such a way that affiliates of minority groups may find it hard to use influence over decision processes in the organization. 4.2 Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism results when managers identify the differences in cultures –
but have a propensity to think that their culture and their way of doing things is the right way, their way of doing things is the only way and the best way. Any difference from their culture or from their way of doing things is seen as "distortion" or as a "mistake" or as "Wrong way". Most people have the propensity to pursue ethnocentrism. Americans, Japanese, Chinese, Germans, French, Scandinavians, and Russians are more prone to ethnocentrism than other cultures – when compared to other Asians, Latin Americans, British, Australians, Africans and Indians. 4.3Informal Integration
Informal groups play a significant role in any business. They influence both the success of the business and the career success of individuals. Total quality plans depend heavily on employee contribution and informal networks can greatly impact this process. Informal groups are influenced by factors such as common language, perceived social similarity, and ethnocentrism. These collective networks are critical for communication in organizations. It has been found that race has a major effect on collective networking. This is not astonishing as you would expect people to have a preference for interaction with members of one's own culture group, especially in an informal context. 4.4 Parochial Attitude
Parochial attitude refers to a person's incapability to see cultural diversity. This is exactly the reverse of ethnocentrism. Managers who are sent overseas frequently meet people who are also dressed in suits and speak their language – this prompts them to disregard all other cultural differences and make them feel that all others are "just like us". In today's business globe, most people are apt to dress similarly – in suits or other formulas and talk in English, but this does not indicate that all people have the same culture – but people often only see the surface and think that the other person shares the same cultural values. Managers from US/UK often tend to display a strong parochial attitude – mainly because the people with whom they relate on regular basis can speak English and are dressed similarly in suits or western dresses.

In one project, Dr. Rosenberry and his laboratory colleagues are studying β-amyloid (Aβ), a component from human brain that may play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ corresponds to a number of closely related peptides of varying length, with 40- and 42-residue peptides being the most predominant. The brains of patients with AD contain large numbers of Aβ fibrils in the form of senile plaques. It now appears likely that Aβ peptides and fibrillar and nonfibrillar Aβ aggregates play an important role in the development of AD, and therapeutic strategies that prevent aggregate formation are attractive. These strategies can be enhanced by structural information about the aggregates. Aβ fibrils have been shown to consist of several closely related β-strand conformations that arrange to form in-register parallel β-sheets. Nonfibrillar Aβ aggregates, often denoted oligomers, have eluded structural characterization because of their low levels in AD brains. We have synthesized Aβ-42 and generated oligomers on anionic micelles. These oligomers are sufficiently homogenous to allow structural characterization by solid-state NMR. We have only partly completed the structural analysis, but it is clear that the structure of these oligomers is quite different from that of the Aβ fibrils.
In a second project, Dr. Rosenberry and his colleagues focus on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme that controls communication between nerve cells by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This communication is disrupted by the death of nerve cells in patients with AD, and inhibitors of AChE are approved as drugs to elevate acetylcholine and aid neuronal function in these patients. AChE is also important in another context: It is inactivated by toxic agents like organophosphates, and this can lead to neuromuscular paralysis and death. Individuals risk exposure to organophosphates in certain pesticides and in chemical warfare agents, and we are pursuing new therapeutic strategies to protect against organophosphate poisoning.
The active site gorge of AChE contains two sites of ligand binding: an acylation site near the base of the gorge and a peripheral site at the mouth of the gorge some 1.5-2.0 nm from the acylation site. This peripheral site is an attractive target for the design of new drugs that might selectively protect against organophosphate reaction at the acylation site, and we have clarified its role in AChE function. We first showed that small ligands that bind selectively to the peripheral site inhibit AChE by slowing the rates at which substrates enter and exit the acylation site. We then found that substrates like acetylthiocholine itself transiently bind to the peripheral site to accelerate their entry into the acylation site. We also observed conformational interaction between the peripheral and acylation sites. These studies have led us to embark on the discovery or design of new peripheral site ligands that may offer protection against organophosphate toxicity.
Model of Aβ-42 oligomer structure
Proposed schematic molecular configuration for Aβ-42 oligomers. Expected positions of side chains are depicted by colored bars or dots. The left- and right-hand sides are two different views of the proposed structure. In the left-hand panel, curves denote a predicted turn region and specify which β-strands are within the same molecule.
NMR models
Proposed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy models of Aβ fibrils and oligomers, illustrating differences in interside-chain proximities. (A) The basic structural unit of Aβ (1-40) fibril models derived from solid-state NMR. Molecules can be folded such that even or odd residues can be oriented into the hydrophobic core for either N-terminal or C-terminal β-sheets, as illustrated in the right-hand side of (A), where the fiber axis is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the paper. (B) A model for dimeric structure of pre-globulomers, based on solution-state NMR. (C) A model for pentameric disk-shaped oligomers, derived from amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange (solution-state NMR) and solid-state NMR data.
β-strand models
Models for arrangement of β-strands formed by residues 32-40 into antiparallel β-sheets. Ribbons represent β-strands and spheres represent atoms with NMR-derived structural constraints described in the text. In panels A-C, spheres are color coded by residue as indicated in panel C. The red spheres, for example, represent carbonyl carbon atoms on V36, for which PITHIRDS-CT data indicate a close interatomic proximity. (A) An antiparallel β-sheet composed only of equivalent β-strands (residues 32-40). (B) An antiparallel β-sheet composed of β-hairpins with two nonequivalent β-strands (gray ribbons for residues 32-40 and blue ribbons for a presently unconstrained N-terminal β-strand). (C) A threefold symmetric configuration of antiparallel β-strands. (D) An enlarged view of the peptide backbone regions defined by the dashed boxes in panels A and B with side chains deleted. Experimentally constrained interatomic distances are indicated by arrows. In panels D and E, atoms are colored by element (C: black; H: white; N: blue; O: red). (E) An enlarged view of the peptide backbones within the dashed box in panel C with constrained interatomic distances indicated by arrows.
X-ray crystallography of the AChE active site gorge
(A) The active site gorge (yellow) and S203 (red) in the catalytic subunit (gray); and (B) Acetylcholine at the peripheral anionic site, or P-site (pink), and catalytic acylation site, or A-site (green), in the S203A mutant

Your Guide to Mold Removal & Prevention in Toronto
Posted in Mold Remediation, on July 23, 2021
It's no surprise that most people feel fear when discovering they need mold removal in Toronto. Mold has scary health-related consequences and, if left undiscovered, can grow into massive infestations that cause hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in damage. Mold inspection in Toronto and the GTA can help identify the health effects caused by mold growth indoors, some of which include skin irritation, dry eyes, wheezing, coughing, and nasal stuffiness. Four Seasons Insulation's 3 part guide to mold removal and prevention in Toronto will help!
Part One: Preventing Mold
Mold is an excellent example of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure. Preventing mold growth in your home is as simple as adding the following three steps to your monthly maintenance tasks.
1. Locate problem areas
Mold can grow out of control when homeowners don't pay close attention to problem areas in their homes. What's a problem area? Anywhere there is water or moisture present, like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, crawlspaces, or attics. Moisture can arrive in the form of actual water (from a flood, leak, or spill) or humidity, which can get trapped or condense on surfaces or inside walls. Once you know what areas are at risk of mold growth, you can check them regularly or book a mold inspection in Toronto and the GTA for an in-depth investigation.
2. Fix water leaks immediately
If you've found water, fix it ASAP! A surprising amount of water can accumulate from a small leak in a short amount of time, wasting water and increasing your risk of mold growth. Deal with the problem right away and avoid a laundry list of concerns.
3. Dry up wet spots
Once the water leak is fixed, dry out the area right away. At Four Seasons, we like to recommend opening windows and running big fans to dry up moisture and move it along.
Levels of Mold Damage
If you've found mold in your home, you'll need professional mold removal in Toronto to safely and securely get rid of it. There are five levels of mold damage:
- Level 1: 10 square feet of damage or less
- Level 2: 10-30 square feet of damage
- Level 3: 30-100 square feet of damage
- Level 4: 100+ square feet of damage
Why Hire A Professional Mold Removal Company
Mold is a bio-hazard that grows on cellulose materials — the same materials our homes are built of, like wood, paper, and textiles. It spreads quickly, making professional mold removal the only safe way to eradicate indoor mold problems. The Four Seasons Insulation remediation team will carefully inspect, assess, and develop a mold removal plan that puts safety first and foremost. We use the latest in mold remediation tools and procedures and industry-quality air scrubbers and protective equipment to prevent cross-contamination and make sure we remove every last spore. If you've discovered mold growth at home, don't wait to get in touch — reach out to the Four Seasons Insulation team to learn the next steps.

Are there any Black Beauty fans in the house? I've got a fun fact for you! While some may already know this, there were five different black horses that starred in the 1994 film that broke all of our hearts.
Out of all of the horses in the film, only one currently survives. Billy is the name of the last remaining horse that starred in the popular flick; He is currently 28 and still resides with his owner who purchased him on the movie set. Talk about a happy story!
Louise Maryon, Billy's owner and groom during Black Beauty, fell in love with the horse and couldn't resist purchasing him. Louise went on to compete on Billy at horse shows. The talented horse also continued his acting career, starring in a Guinness commercial and multiple music videos.
Billy truly has stood the test of time, and will forever be an icon in the horse world.

I haven't fallen off the wagon. In fact, I've actually gotten my head screwed on straight....I think. I'd been toying around with rejoining weight watchers. The accountability AND the fact that I'm spending money for that accountability is a very very good motivator. Sooo last week I went ahead and signed back up for the monthly pass (it was pay for the first month, get the second month free) and I went to a meeting yesterday. I am optimistic. Mainly because there is no way that I want to PAY money to gain weight. So I have to do my part!!!

Kanye West is apparently looking to get some peace and quiet to finish his upcoming project: The rapper has reportedly purchased a massive ranch and corresponding property in Wyoming's countryside.
According to a report from TMZ, Kanye dished out a hefty amount for a 9,000-acre property, which was listed for $14 million. However, Kanye reportedly didn't pay full price for the property, Monster Lake Ranch, and the US government is leasing him half the acreage. The location of the ranch — outside Cody, Wyoming — is known as the "rodeo capital of the world." Monster Lake Ranch includes eight lodging cabins, a restaurant, two freshwater lakes, an event center, a meeting house, and plenty of trout fishing opportunities. The property is also home to plenty of horse barns, corrals, and accompanying horses.
Kanye was seen last week enjoying the property's expanse on an ATV.

The rapper reportedly opted to spend time in Wyoming to finish his album. Kanye is putting the finishing touches on his album which Kim Kardashian recently revealed will be released on 9/27 and could be titled Jesus Is King. Pusha T allegedly joined Kanye at his ranch the assist in the process. Pusha also joined the rapper in Wyoming as he finished his last album, Ye.

Shards of Infinity the deckbuilding game is going digital in 2019 for Windows, with Linux support in tow. Thanks to Stone Blade Entertainment in collaboration with Temple Gates Games. Shards of Infinity is coming to Steam, iOS and Android.
Shards of Infinity is the creative design work of Justin Gary and Gary Arant. while gameplay itself combines strategy and customization. Stone Blade Entertainment is known for some of the studios favourite games. Since Shards of Infinity is their hit follow-up to the award winning deckbuilding game, Ascension.
Also, Shards of Infinity introduces the Mastery mechanic. Since this gives players multiple paths to victory in a quick, cutthroat game. One that leaves the player wanting to play just one more game.
Shards of Infinity – Linux Support:
"I have made Linux a top priority for our games, such as Cannon Brawl, and hopefully we'll have a Shards release for Linux down the line."
Since this is indeed good news, nothing has been formally announced yet. But the fact that we have this confirmation is a good sign. But the "down the line" does mean, after the Windows release.
Also note, this is a custom game engine from developer Temple Gates. In the email, the developer goes on to point out, "our engine is a hand crafted C++ beast." Which explains why Linux support coming later.
At Temple Gates Games already has a history of working with board game publishers. While specializing in digitizing card games including Race for the Galaxy and Roll for the Galaxy. Also Ascension, the first deckbuilding game to take place in virtual reality.
Shards of Infinity also has some elements in common with Ascension. For example deckbuilding, but there are some new twists that change the core dynamics. Direct damage can be dealt to players, making a choice for whether it's best to disable their engine or go straight for the jugular. There's a mastery mechanic that lets players level up their cards for increased effects.
Therefore, Shards of Infinity will release in Spring 2019 for $7.99 USD across Windows and Linux. No word on a Mac release.

The budding age of children is a great time to nourish and nurture their creative ideas. Be it art and craft or dancing, singing, or drawing. Their indulgence in any kind of creative activity will boost their brain's potency and help them to unleash their best form through the most effortless way. Also, it is very difficult to handle hyperactive kids yet being this a very positive symptom of a brainy being; parents usually force them to sleep or let them do whatever they wish to pass the time. But most of the activities never use their kid's potential at the time whereas painting and drawing is a very useful way to unlock kids' potential. And while they think to draw every curve or select the colors, they are maneuvering their motor skills in the best way possible. You can also indulge in the activity of 'drawing for kids' as this can intensify your bonding as well.
Drawing A Great Activity With Little Supplies
A drawing is an activity that requires a minimal number of supplies and also a great option to spend indoor times at peace. Also, the clean-up is quite quick and easy if it is well managed. You can set up your little Picasso's palette or canvas to an open area, so that he/she can take inspiration and draw at relax or you can pull an Indian long mat first, to set up his drawing arrangements inside any room. If your young artist's ideas are flowing through random objects or designs, let him/her do it and make his/her masterpieces be the candy on refrigerator arts. Clip them on refrigerator, doors or even wardrobes to let them know how much you care and adore everything that concerns your little bud.
Easy Drawing Ideas For Kids
So, let's start with these step-by-step quick and easy drawing for kids and indulge yourself too in such activities.
1. It is easy to draw simplistic designs first before attempting huge ones. You can help your kiddo try this catchy one:
2. A good family drawing is all you need to flaunt your bud's talent among your friends and relatives or even random guests. This is one of the most lovable drawing images for kids, and also to stick on the refrigerator.
Kids drawing pictures. Art children paint tools kid group handmade diversity draw brush picture color, cartoon wall painting vector illustration
3. It's easy to draw when you have a step-by-step guide, just like this. And cute animals are the first ones that attract their attention too. So, choose this kind of easy drawing image for kids to try first.
4. This afternoon or evening time, let him/her draw his favorite dessert. Be it a cone ice cream or cassata, a thing that they enjoy eating will always be a pleasure to draw as well.
5. This is the time when colours take a special place in your kid's life. Let them do it freely!
It doesn't matter if they colour a leaf in pink or a cow in green. Playing with various hues or making different shades can help your bud to learn new magics of life.
You can pick this drawing of a chameleon as an inspiration for a simple drawing for kids.
6. Peppa Pig: We all have loved cartoons at a certain age and after then we get addicted to animated characters. Isn't it?
Well, they all incite our self-expression talents, and this is why we incline to one kind of character more than the other. Same with the kids. Today's kids love Peppa pig and her family. They indulge in fun activities with mini dialogues that help to develop fine motor and concentration skills in your child from an early age.
7. Sceneries: The best way to praise the nature around from an early is by showcasing the beauty of the mountains, beaches, skies, countrysides, etc. Take your child to your hometown or visit some farmhouse outside your city to instill inspiration in your bud's heart and mind.
Even in our childhood, this had been one of our earlier drawings because they are easy drawing for kids.
8. Plants & Cactus: Showing gratitude is an art that not only keeps you happy but makes your surrounding even happier. Let your little artist put down little plants on its canvas by observational drawing techniques.
Cactuses are easier to draw and do not chain his/her thoughts to color them only in green hues but let him use more crazy hues and shades.
You can also engage him in drawing delectable vegetables in cute shapes and quirky colors.
9. Baby Yoda: It's not just a cute character for kids but adults as well. Keep your little illustrator busy with this cute alien character with Yoda drawing images for kids.
10. Corpse Drawings: Don't get away with the morbid name of this concept; corpse drawings are actually great fun when done or accomplished together in groups with friends.
What parents can do: Print a template of a corpse drawing concept and help your little bud to illustrate it. Encourage your kid to come with its own imaginary characters.
11. Hand tracing drawing: There are so many fun things that you and your artist can do together like a hand tracing drawing.
Put your hand on the canvas and let your buddy draw its circumference on it. Now put your best image forward. Be it a peacock, giraffe, zebra, or anything else, just make sure to keep it interesting and jolly.
12. Sticker Drawing: Quirky stickers bring a combo fun for any kid. Be it a 3D sticker or 2D, shape-shifting, or glassy stickers, these are great during school art and craft activities.
Let's bring this fun to your kid's drawing session with sticker drawing. Keep such drawing ideas for kids saved in your list.
13. Unleash your little Picasso's imaginary power with these step-by-step drawing:
Let them try it all one by one and don't forget to attach them proudly on the walls or you can make a special corner to dedicate to such arts. You can also create a craft book to collect all your Picasso's masterpieces and make it a great memory book.

Structural basis for error-free replication of oxidatively damaged DNA by yeast DNA polymerase η.
Publication Type:Journal Article
Source:Structure, Volume 18, Issue 11, p.1463-70 (2010)
Keywords:Catalytic Domain, Crystallography, DNA Adducts, DNA Repair, DNA Replication, DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase, Guanine, Models, Molecular, Protein Conformation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae

7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) adducts are formed frequently by the attack of oxygen-free radicals on DNA. They are among the most mutagenic lesions in cells because of their dual coding potential, where, in addition to normal base-pairing of 8-oxoG(anti) with dCTP, 8-oxoG in the syn conformation can base pair with dATP, causing G to T transversions. We provide here for the first time a structural basis for the error-free replication of 8-oxoG lesions by yeast DNA polymerase η (Polη). We show that the open active site cleft of Polη can accommodate an 8-oxoG lesion in the anti conformation with only minimal changes to the polymerase and the bound DNA: at both the insertion and post-insertion steps of lesion bypass. Importantly, the active site geometry remains the same as in the undamaged complex and provides a basis for the ability of Polη to prevent the mutagenic replication of 8-oxoG lesions in cells.

Inflammatory Response
by Michael Shih
Figure constructed using Janis Kuby, Immunology (3rd ed.), Figure 13-4
Inflammation is a protective response to infection by the immune system that requires communication between different classes of immune cells to coordinate their actions.
Secreted cytokine proteins provide signals between immune cells to coordinate the inflammatory response.
Macrophages and other phagocytotic cells provide a front-line defense against bacterial infection.
Macrophages stimulate the inflammatory responses of
in response infection by secreting IL-1 and TNF.
Macrophages also present antigen to T helper cells that play a central role in coordinating immune responses.
In addition to inducing activation and proliferation of specific differentiated immune cells, cytokines act on hematopoeitic stem cells, causing their proliferation and differentiation into the full range of immune cells.

i have read and heard outcries and roar against the government's latest decision to raise prices of hsd (high speed diesel) by inr 5 per litre, a rise of almost 12%, and restrict 6 cylinders per account along with a host of other economic "reforms". having heard the common man shout at the top of his voice against a government that in my opinion has done what it should have done a long ago, i must bring few things in perspective for the aamaadmi, or the not-so-aamaadmi!

Nick Gordon has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor battery.
The 27-year-old landscaper — who is the former boyfriend of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown — was arrested for allegedly hitting his partner Laura Leal earlier this month and submitted a plea through his attorney in Seminole County, Florida, on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, prompting his previous arraignment date of April 6 to be waived, The Blast reports.
His plea comes after Leal wrote a letter to the judge begging him to drop a no-contact order between them, but the official took no action.
"I would like to kindly ask you to lift the no-contact order that was placed against Nicholas Gordon and I. I am not in any kind of fear or danger being around him and would like to be able to contact him as soon as possible," she wrote.
She also blamed whatever had happened between them on her own "severe anger issues" and insisted Nick was not responsible in any way.
She added: "I suffer from severe anger issues in which Nick has been an incredible support to get my act together.
"I am seeking help and determined to take the condition seriously as I have been diagnosed bipolar. He is not at blame, and should not be pushed into any trouble or consequences due to my actions.
"I am responsible for what happened that night and want you to know what a great person Nicholas truly is. When I have episodes, he helps to calm me down and prevents me from doing anything that could make things worse."
Gordon's plea comes a week after he was arrested for violating the no-contact order when Leal showed up at his home.
But he was later let go with no violation because the judge found no probable cause.

BP Stonewalling Compensation to Gulf Residents - by Stephen Lendman
On April 23, a New York Times editorial headlined, "Quick Help for the Gulf," mocking grave environmental damage as well as affected communities and residents in typical Times cavalier fashion, saying:
BP's April 21 announced "$1 billion down payment on its obligation to restore the Gulf of Mexico to good health is such welcome news that it seems almost churlish to offer caveats" or question its motives.
In fact, BP committed America's greatest ever environmental crime, destroying the entire Gulf, as well as the welfare, livelihoods, health and futures of millions of coastal residents, a disaster perhaps no amount of money can restore, but don't expect BP even to try.
However, saying "(l)ong-term restoration is a goal we have backed ever since Hurricane Katrina," The Times dismissively suggested $1 billion "is enough for now just to get started." In fact, it's inconsequential pocket change for the incalculable human, economic and environmental toll. But don't expect Times editors to explain.
Others do, however, including Dahr Jamail, detailing Gulf "toxicity, suffering and death" on April 16, and on April 20, its "criminal negligence," discussing mounting lawsuits for what BP won't pay.
Ryan Lambert is one of many affected. Jamail quoted him saying:
"I'm seeing people starving to death and BP won't pay them....They know what they did is wrong and they still won't pay me (or most others). I'm done playing their games. All they are doing is starving people out and trying to get them to take (pocket change settlements to) give up their right to sue. I know thousands of people in the fishing industry, and I don't know one person who has been made whole yet."

Associate Dean Chris Sewell '05 to leave College in June for New York startup
May 19, 2021
Associate Dean of Students Chris Sewell '05 will leave the College to take a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) position with the New York City startup Praxis Labs at the end of this semester, Senior Associate Dean of Students Rachel Bukanc announced in an email on May 14. Through research, data, and "immersive learning experiences," Praxis helps companies diversify their workforces and become more inclusive, according to their website.
Bukanc said that the Dean's Office intends to appoint a search committee, which will include students, to fill Sewell's position."We will follow our typical process of including students on the search committee as well as during the interview process for finalists," she said.
Sewell has a long history with the College. Graduating in the College's Class of 2005, Sewell majored in American studies and history with a concentration in Africana studies. He was an active member of several student organizations, including the Black Student Union (BSU) and College Council (the student government body at the time), and he sat on several student–faculty committees.
Before finding himself back at the College, Sewell worked as senior instructor manager at General Assembly, an organization based in Toronto that works to train students in coding and data science. He also worked as a dean in K–12 education.
During his three-year tenure as an associate dean at the College, Sewell focused on forming personal relationships with his students, which he said was grounded in his experiences working in K–12 education. "I know that students want people they trust, and some of that comes along with being what I call 'feet to the street,'" Sewell said. "You need to be at their events… People need to see you as visible and engaged."
As dean of first-year students, Sewell said, he strove to build trust between students and the Dean's Office, especially as students made the transition from high school to college-level learning. "The dean's office often has negative connotations in high school," he said. "So for me, it was important to try and demystify that for students here, [and] for them to see the dean's office as a supportive space."
Through programs such as the Junior Advisor Advisory Board and Peer MentEph, Sewell has had the opportunity to work closely with students, and especially student leaders. He also taught a Winter Study course on race, pop culture, and education last year. He said this class was one of his favorite memories at the College, as it gave him the chance to connect with students in a way he hadn't experienced before.
"That Winter Study, I think, exposed me to students that I would not have had relationships with [otherwise]," Sewell said. "I really enjoyed that moment of switching into being kind of a more academic lens at Williams, rather than simply being an administrator."
Sewell has also spent much of his time at the College working on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues through organizations like the Men of Color Collective, which works to support male-identifying BIPOC students. Sewell said that his DEI work arose naturally because of his personal identity. "As a Black queer man, that [diversity and inclusion] matters to me," he said.
Sewell said that his new role at Praxis, an organization that helps companies become more inclusive, felt like a natural outgrowth of his DEI work at the College. He added that his goal is to make workspaces more inclusive for BIPOC and first-generation students when they leave institutions of higher education like the College. "This is where some of our best and brightest first-gen students [go] when they leave Williams," Sewell said. "And I feel like I'm at the place where I want to make sure that when you all leave Williams, that you're going into an equitable world, and a more diverse and understanding work environment than [when] I entered the workforce."
Sewell's research position at Praxis will draw not only on his experiences working in education but also from his research skills and work in academia. "Even as dean at Williams, I was still very active in the scholarly community," Sewell said. "So I think that this job helps me take those skill sets of research and my ability to analyze, synthesize, and think about what next steps might look like, together under this umbrella of diversity and inclusion, which matters a lot to me."
Sewell recalled BSU community dinners as one of his favorite memories from his days as a student at the College. "There used to be this thing called Community Dinner for the BSU, where we would all cook and come to get our soul food," Sewell said. "We were all together, happy and Black."
He added that what he'll miss most about the College is the community, to which he has deep ties. "What makes this place for me, and what makes this place amazing, are the great people you meet while you're here," Sewell said. "It's going to be missing the people and the relationships, and the deepness of the relationships you're able to build in a place like Williamstown."

Background-Stroke results in substantial death and disability. To address this burden, Get With The Guideline (GWTG)-Stroke was developed to facilitate the measurement, tracking, and improvement in quality of care and outcomes for acute stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients in the United States. Methods and Results-We analyzed the characteristics, performance measures, and in-hospital outcomes in the first 1 000 000 acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and TIA admissions from 1392 hospitals that participated in the GWTG-Stroke Program 2003 to 2009. Patients were 53.5% women, 73.3% white, and with mean age of 70.1 ±14.9 years. There were 601 599 (60.2%) ischemic strokes, 108 671 (10.9%) intracerebral hemorrhages, 34 945 (3.5%) subarachnoid hemorrhages, 26 977 (2.7%) strokes not classified, and 227 788 (22.8%) TIAs. Performance measures showed small to moderate differences by cerebrovascular event type. In-hospital mortality rate was highest among intracerebral hemorrhage (25.0%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (20.4%), and intermediate in ischemic stroke (5.5%) patients and lowest among TIA patients (0.3%). Significant improvements over time from 2003 to 2009 in quality of care were observed: all-or-none measure, 44.0% versus 84.3% (+40.3%, P<0.0001). After adjustment for patient and hospital variables, the cumulative adjusted odds ratio for the all-or-none measure over the 6 years was 9.4 (95% confidence interval, 8.3 to 10.6, P<0.0001). Temporal improvements in length of stay and risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality rate (for ischemic stroke and TIA) were also observed.
