We're supporting young people across the country who are making change that focuses on two categories: solutions to financial barriers and solutions to social issues.
Financial Solutions for a Changing World
We're looking for young leaders working to eliminate financial barriers, like Vineel and the founders of PeerLift:
Vineel knew that early financial education is important to achieve financial independence later in life. He formed Investment Clubs of America to bring education on personal finance and investment into schools.
The founders of PeerLift spent hundreds of hours applying for college on top of their other commitments. So, they created PeerLift to make scholarship opportunities more accessible to young people, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
Societal Solutions for a Changing World
We're also looking for young leaders solving societal challenges. Meet Chander and Gia:
One day, Chander discovered that the vegetable refrigerator in his high school was empty. After learning more about nutrition and food insecurity in his community, Chander founded Urban Beet — an initiative that empowers young people to get involved with sustainable, regenerative urban farming.
When she was in 10th grade, Gia was the only girl in her AP Computer Science class. She created Girl Innovation to introduce middle school girls to programming, robotics, cyber-security and more. Girl Innovation has helped girls discover and deepen new interests, create opportunities, and work to close the gender gap in tech.
Participants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
Participants must be individuals between the ages of 14 – 18 when applying and not older than 18 by the end of the entry period (November 4, 2021). Groups and partners are not eligible.
Participants must be legal residents of the United States or Puerto Rico.
Participants must have started their project on or before June 1, 2021.

Prudential Spirit of Community National Honorees and State Honorees are NOT eligible to apply.

Evaluation Criteria
The selection committee will be looking for Changemakers who provide strong answers to a range of questions about what your initiative does, how it runs, and your changemaking story.
Entries will be evaluated on the following criteria:
Innovation – Are you thinking innovatively to build financial health and resiliency or to solve social issues within your community?
Potential to Scale – Do you have a vision for the future? Will this innovation create meaningful impact, and does it have the ability to scale even beyond your own community?
Connection – Do you show a deep understanding of a problem or barrier you are trying to solve, and do you have a deep connection to the community you are bringing your solution to?
Changemaker Quality – Are you passionate about making a change for the good of all, ready to show leadership or take action to solve a problem, and looking to activate others?
In addition to our evaluation criteria described above, winners will be selected to represent the diversity of applications received. Diversity can be showcased in the target audience of a project or its partners. Diversity will refer to: gender, accessibility, ethnicity, race, age and geography.

What is Prudential Emerging Visionaries? What happened to the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards?
Prudential Emerging Visionaries is a national recognition program that celebrates young people for their innovative solutions to financial and societal challenges in their communities. It is a collaboration between Prudential Financial and Ashoka, a leading social impact organization.
Over the past 26 years, Prudential has recognized more than 150,000 young people across the United States through the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. The impressive vision of these young leaders inspired us to reimagine the program. Today, Prudential Emerging Visionaries celebrates young people who bring fresh perspectives and new solutions to pressing financial and societal challenges in their communities.
I was recognized by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards as a National Honoree or State Honoree. Am I eligible to apply?
No. National Honorees and State Honorees of The Prudential Spirit of Community Award are not eligible to apply, even with a new initiative.
I previously applied to the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards but didn't win. Am I eligible to apply?
Yes! If you have applied to the Prudential Spirit of Community Award in the past but were not a National Honoree or State Honoree, you are welcome and encouraged to apply.
I won one of Ashoka's other youth challenges. Am I eligible to apply?
Yes! Winners of Ashoka's other youth challenges who fall within the age range are welcome and encouraged to apply.
Do I have to be a Prudential customer to apply to this challenge?
No, it is not necessary to be a Prudential customer to apply.
Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?
Participants must be a legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico, including those with a student visa or work permit.
Can multiple people in my team submit an application of our project?
Yes. A team may not submit an application; however, each member of a team may submit an individual application. Your application will be reviewed as an individual and will not impact the chances of other team members that apply. Any applications that appear plagiarized, including using segments of a team member's application, will automatically be disqualified.
How does the application process work?
Applications are submitted through this online platform. To apply, click the "Participate" button on the top right of this page. This will prompt you to create and activate an account. You can submit and continue to edit your entry up until the final application deadline (11:59PM ET on November 4, 2021).
Do I need to have a pre-existing project in order to apply?
Yes. Projects must have been started on or before June 1, 2021.
Which category should I choose: Financial Solutions for a Changing World or Societal Solutions for a Changing World?
Choose whichever category aligns best with your project! You can change this up until the application deadline (11:59PM ET on November 4, 2021)! Here is how we define the two categories:
Financial Solutions for a Changing World – Your work or innovation helps your community overcome barriers to financial inclusion and wellbeing. This could include creating job opportunities in your community, helping people in your community spend, save, borrow, and plan their financial lives, starting an accelerator or other initiative to finance youth-led ventures, and more.
Societal Solutions for a Changing World – Your work or innovation is creating an equitable and sustainable community that works for the good of all. This could include working on environmental, racial justice, education issues, and more.
After the deadline (11:59PM ET on November 4, 2021), Ashoka reviewers may move your entry into a different category if they think it is appropriate to do so.
Is the Prudential Emerging Visionaries Awards Summit in-person? When is it?
We are currently planning an in-person event for April 23-26, 2022. If necessary, we will adjust the dates or transition to a virtual event for safety reasons. We're working really hard to create an amazing experience for everyone involved!
I can't make the dates for the Prudential Emerging Visionaries Awards Summit. Can I still apply?
No, the expectation is that the person who applies will attend the Prudential Emerging Visionaries Awards Summit (along with a parent or guardian). If you don't expect you'll be able to attend the Summit, we recommend a co-founder or teammate apply instead.
Who should I include as my project references? Do my references need to be Ashoka or Prudential employees or employees of their affiliates?
References should be adults who know you well and are familiar with your project. They must not be Ashoka employees or Prudential employees or employees of their affiliates. At least one of your references must be your parent or guardian. Teachers and mentors can also be great references. Just be sure to ask them if they're willing to be a reference before including their contact information so that they're not surprised when we contact them!
My YouTube video has a low resolution. What should I do?
When uploading to YouTube, a low-resolution video is uploaded first. The resolution will improve, but it usually takes a few hours to do so. Be patient! Regardless, you won't be penalized for the resolution of your video.
I published my entry but see a typo. Can you help me fix it?
You can make edits up until our entry deadline of November 4, 2021, at 11:59 PM ET. To do that, first make sure you are logged in and click on the button "Edit" on the right side of the page above the timeline, then click on the name of the task you wish to edit (e.g. "About your project"), now click on the 3 dots icon in the corner of the card and select the "Edit" option and make your edits. Done! No need to re-submit your application, you just have to do it once.
Remember, all published entries will be locked as of 11:59 PM ET on November 4, 2021. To allow for the most fair and equitable review process, we will not be able to make any edits after the deadline.
Who do the diversity questions refer to?
The diversity questions refer to the application author. These questions are optional and are meant to help us continue to improve our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at Ashoka. All data collected will be private and used only for anonymous analysis.
I won the early entry prize. Does that mean I'm guaranteed to be one of the 25 final winners?
Congratulations on winning the early entry prize! Winning the early entry prize, however, does not guarantee that you will become one of the final 25 winners. After the November 4th entry deadline, the final 25 winners will be chosen from the entire pool of applicants.
My timezone appears as UTC on the application form, how can I change that?
Please follow the instructions from this quick support video <add link>.

Not sure about that but the range seemed pretty impressive at the launch. Very subtle yet chic autumnal shades, classy Chanel-esque packaging, reasonably priced with products perfect to recreate a cover page look. Me likey!
On the other hand, definitely something we'd not expect to see in Tesco's eh, so it will be exciting to see how people respond to the mini House of Fraser like setting there.
A few haphazard shots I managed to capture to convey the essence of the brand.
The rest of the products, I wouldn't mind paying for to be honest.
The Make-up Fixer is one of a kind and unlike MAC's Fix Plus, does not leave a very dewy sheen on me. It simply sets the make-up, prevents it from shifting and prolongs wear, whilst making skin satin soft. Has a very strong alcohol smell to it which some sensitive noses might find off putting!
I have my eyes on a few Nail Paints, Foundations and Eye Pencils now. Just need to find a larger Tesco somewhere, which is a task in it self.

text: Saraghrar is the fourth highest independent peak in the Hindu Kush. The entire Saraghrar massif is a huge, irregular stretched plateau at elevation around 7,000 m, lying above vertical granite and ice faces, which protect it all around. Its distinct summits are poorly identified, and information gathered from expeditions that have visited the area is often misleading. In 1958 a British team led by Ted Norrish made a first try on the northeast summit (7,349 m (24,111 ft)). This expedition was stopped by the death of member P. S. Nelson. The year after, on August 24, 1959, the northeast peak was climbed for the first time by an Italian team led by Fosco Maraini and including Franco Alletto, Giancarlo Castelli, Paolo Consiglio, Carlo Alberto "Betto" Pinelli (the latter four reaching the top), Silvio Jovane, Franco Lamberti (expedition's doctor) and Enrico Leone, all members of the Italian Alpine Club (Rome section). They ascended via the Niroghi glacier on the northeast of the massif. On August 24, 1967, Satoh Yukitoshi and Hara Hirosada, members of a Japanese expedition led by Kenichiro Yamamoto (Mountaineering club of Hitotsubashi University) reached the South Summit for the first time by the Rosh-Gol glacier. In 1971, Nagano, member of a Japanese expedition (Shizuoka climbing club) led by Akiyama Reiske, summitted the SW peak for the first time on July 29. Three Catalan expeditions in 1975, 1977 and 1982 tried the NW summit via a rocky route. On August 9, 1982, Juan Lopez Diaz (expedition leader), Enrique Lucas Llop and Nil Bohigas Martorell reached the northwest II summit (7,200 m (23,622 ft)).(Wikipedia)

Highlighting the simplicity of Japanese sweets in ice cream form.
It's not hard to love this super easy Azuki Bar drink recipe.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer frozen snack.
The perfect flavour for a traditional Japanese festival.

Both luxurious and wholesome, these Azuki Bars are not to be missed.
Azuki Ice adds to legendary status in Japan once again by defiantly providing delicious treats in times of need.
"What's the best flavor for a French fry sundae?" is a question we never had to answer…until now!
Oft-forgotten burger joint now has our full attention with its decadent Western and Japanese-style combinations of fried food and ice cream.
Dinner and dessert, all rolled into one!
Perfect for people who love sweets and carry napkins.
Zeitaku is one of those lovely Japanese words that sounds as elegant as its meaning. As the word for luxury, it conjures up images of high-class ryokan accommodations with private outdoor rotenburo baths, multi-course kaiseki meals served by elegant ladies dressed in kimonos and extravagant purchases at department stores on the Ginza shopping strip.
While most of those luxuries are, sadly, out of reach for many of us, there's one affordable item that comes to mind when Japanese people are looking for a bit of zeitaku when a friend decides to visit or as a treat after a long day. That small symbol of luxury is the rich, creamy ice cream of Häagen-Dazs, and now they're releasing an amazing new chestnut and azuki red bean Japonais flavour to add a bit of class to the upcoming fall season.
As a leading purveyor of fatty fast food, McDonald's is certain to have its share of detractors. It seems every time we run a story about the golden arches, commenters are all too quick to point out how the fast food restaurant's offerings tend to be on the less healthy side (to put it diplomatically).
But even among McDonald's more ardent opponents are those who would admit that its fried apple pies were pretty darn good. It's perhaps that crowd that a beleaguered McDonald's Japan is trying to appeal to with their new anko bean paste pies.
Yes, we love our Häagen-Dazs here at RocketNews24, but you really can't blame us when they keep throwing creative and tantalizing flavors at us, can you? Like this newest installation in their Japonais line of cup ice cream — in a strawberry and azuki (red bean) flavor!
That's right, another delightful frozen creation with a Japanese twist is coming out from the masters of ice cream. And we really can't see any reason why we wouldn't find the new flavor thoroughly delightful!
Ice cream is one of those foods that is so delicious, people tend to eat it year round regardless of the plunging temperatures around them. So for the past 15 years, Häagen-Dazs has been releasing special fall/winter flavors in Japan, such as the extremely popular rum raisin. But this year, the beloved ice cream maker has an azuki bean-flavored variety coming out in early October, and Japanese netizens are already clearing out space in their freezer to stock up.

Irish Stew, the podcast for the Global Irish Nation featuring interviews with fascinating influencers proud of their Irish Edge. If you're Irish born or hyphenated Irish, this is the podcast that brings all the Irish together. The podcast is hosted by John Lee and Martin Nutty with production and editorial assistance from Bill Schultz
John Lee: Cohost
John took an Irish history course in college and occasionally threw great St. Patrick's parties, but John started to engage with Irish communities in earnest a decade ago as in the effort to prevent the demolition of historic St. Brigid's, the "Famine Church"on New York's Lower East Side, helping promote its "Bards for St. Brigid's" fundraiser. He then served on the board of the Irish American Writers and Artists and in multiple board roles with the Irish Business Organization of New York, currently as its president.
He has moderated or been a panelist for Ireland Day at the New York Stock Exchange, New York New Belfast, and the Belfast Homecoming.
John's grandparents were from County Offaly, County Clare and County Cork.
Professionally, he works in communications and PR.
His 2020 goal is the Irish Stew launch...and to read Ulysses.
Martin Nutty: Cohost
Martin was born in Dublin in the 1960s and spent his childhood in Kinsealy, a small, rural community just eight miles from the center of Dublin City. His Father Fred, established a nursery business with the support of his wife, Anne Hall. The business succeeded and established a successful trade in which all members of the family participated, most notably elder siblings, Stephen and Ann and later younger brother Ben. After attending the local National School in Kinsealy, Martin was enrolled in Franciscan College Gormanston, a private boarding school then, which lies on the county border of Dublin and Meath. While at Gormanston, he became involved in Track and Field athletics specializing in the Shot Put and Discus and was fortunate to be nurtured by the Irish Olympian, Philip Conway and made enough progress to participate on Irish Junior teams.
Like many young Irish athletes at the time, Martin decided to follow Philip's footsteps by pursuing an athletic scholarship in America attending St John's University in New York City and improved enough to have some modest success in American collegiate competition along with winning an Irish national team cap in 1985. Unfortunately, the heavy training load took a physical toll and effectively put an end to athletic aspirations
Switching gears, Martin focused on academic credentials, completing an undergraduate degree followed by a Masters in Business Administration in 1990. Finishing college during the economic uncertainty of the First Gulf War coupled with the lack of a Green Card and consequently dim job prospects, he was able to secure an accounting position in a logistics company which led to a career in technology. Martin has worked for the last 20 years in the financial sector as a self taught programmer.
Martin continues to live in New York City with his talented and beautiful wife Limor and two dogs Monty and JoJo. They visit Ireland regularly to spend time with the a family who continue to be supportive of their endeavors
Bill Schultz: Producer & Editor
Bill grew up at the Jersey Shore, and moved to New York City at 18 to attend St. John's University. Despite majoring in mathematics, he always had an interest in broadcasting, particularly radio, and made that his primary extra-curricular activity.
After graduation, Bill went to work at NBC TV's Philadelphia affiliate as a camera operator and video editor, returning to New York after a year to pursue his first interest, radio. Bill started as a commercial producer at WQHT "Hot 97", and after 6 years moved on to Country station WYNY as Production Director. In 1996 he was on the team that relaunched legendary dance music station WKTU in New York, and from there went on to produce for radio stations all across the country.
After stops at CBS Radio in New York and Greater Media in Philadelphia, Bill launched his own company Schultz Media, LLC, producing voiceovers and commercials, radio station imaging, audiobooks, and podcasts. In 2016, Bill made the jump to podcasting full time as Executive VP/Content Development at Cadence13, a leading premium podcast company, covering all genres including news/commentary, pop culture, sports, true crime, and documentaries.
Despite the German name, DNA testing has shown Bill's ancestry to be over 90% Irish, which came as no surprise since he's always felt more connected to that part of his background. Having made several trips to Ireland over the last 30 years, (thanks to Martin and his family always welcoming) he feels a special connection to the Emerald Isle.
Bill lives in Princeton, NJ with wife Natalie, twin sons Stephen and Patrick, and feisty labradoodle Seamus. Yes… we like our Irish names.

For years Sprecher Brewery has heard requests from customers asking for an adult version of its signature root beer. This month the company finally obliged with the release of Sprecher's Hard Root Beer, but it wasn't easy. Sprecher president Jeff Hamilton said the company spent years creating the right recipe for the 5% alcohol drink.
"When you're making beer, you're using ingredients that make the process very easy, but when you try to replicate that process using the different ingredients in root beer, the science isn't nearly so friendly," he explained. The company also spent considerable time finding the right flavor profile for the drink. The recipe they settled on has considerably more complexity than most sugary malt beverages, with bold, bourbon-like flavor notes aimed squarely at the adult palette.
"We wanted a product that resembled Sprecher Root Beer, but that nobody would mistake for soda," Hamilton says. "We use the same flavors as we do in our regular root beer, but you can also taste the alcohol and oak flavorings. To avoid any confusion with our regular root beer, the bottles look different and come in different sizes. We also only sell it in bottles, so you're not going to get it in draft. We want to make sure only adults drink it."
Sprecher's Hard Root Beer debuted this month, and the early response has overwhelmed the brewery. The brewery's gift shop sold out last week and Hamilton estimates that most liquor stores have already sold out as well. It could be awhile until there's enough to go around.
"We were a little taken aback by how fast it's been selling, so we're sitting here trying to figure out a game plan to make as much of it as possible," Hamilton says. "It'll be another three weeks or so until there's another batch out there, and then after that hopefully we'll be able to produce a steady supply, because it looks like that whole next order is already spoken for. It seems like people really can't wait to try this."

We are thankful for their enthusiasm and support and look forward to providing value to our new and old investors as Well Told continues to grow."
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
About The Well Told Company Inc.:
Well Told is a female founded, emerging plant-based wellness company that formulates, develops, distributes and sells a variety of supplements, remedies and other functional wellness products.

Introduction: Endarterectomized human atherosclerotic plaques are a valuable basis for gene expression studies
to disclose novel imaging biomarkers and therapeutic targets, such as the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2). In
this work, CB2 is expressed on activated immune cells, which are abundant in inflamed plaques. We evaluated
the CB2-specific radiotracer [11C]RS-016 for imaging vascular inflammation in human and mouse atherosclerotic
Methods: The differential gene expression of microscopically classified human carotid plaques was evaluated
using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, CB2 expression levels in human plaques were
investigated by in vitro autoradiography. As an appropriate animal model we used apolipoprotein E knockout
mice (ApoE KO) with shear stress-induced atherosclerosis to evaluate CB2 levels in vivo. Positron emission
tomography (PET) was performed with both the CB2 radioligand [11C]RS-016 and the metabolic radiotracer
[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) at various time points. Retrospectively, carotids were dissected for
histopathology and gene expression analysis.
Results: We identified 28 human genes differentially expressed in atherosclerotic plaques compared to normal
arteries of which 12 were upregulated preferentially in vulnerable plaques. The latter group included members
of matrix metalloproteinase family and the T-lymphocyte activation antigens CD80 and CD86. CB2 was
upregulated by 2-fold in human atherosclerotic plaques correlating with CD68 expression levels. Specific
in vitro binding of [11C]RS-016 was predominantly observed to plaques. In vivo PET imaging of ApoE KO mice
revealed accumulation of [11C]RS-016 and [18F]FDGin atherosclerotic plaques. Development of advanced plaques
with elevated CB2 and CD68 levels were found in vitro in ApoE KO mice resembling human vulnerable plaques.
Conclusion: We identified human genes associated with plaque vulnerability, which potentially could serve as
novel imaging or therapeutic targets. The CB2-specific radiotracer [11C]RS-016 detected human plaques by
in vitro autoradiography and accumulated in vivo in plaques of ApoE KO mice, however not exclusively in
vulnerable plaques.

War in Ukraine reaches former Swiss colony of Shabo
In normal times the corks would be popping: exactly 200 years ago settlers from Switzerland founded the colony of Shabo in Ukraine. They were driven out during the Second World War, but Swiss wine culture lives on.
- Deutsch Ukraine: Der Krieg erreicht die Schweizer Kolonie Shabo (original)
- Español Ucrania: La guerra se acerca a la antigua colonia suiza de Chabag
- Português Ucrânia: guerra chega à colônia suíça de Shabo
- 中文 乌克兰:战争抵达瑞士殖民地
- عربي في جنوب أوكرانيا، الحرب تصل إلى مستوطنة "شابو" السويسرية
- Français Ukraine: la guerre s'approche de l'ancienne colonie suisse de Chabag
- Pусский Война на пороге бывшей швейцарской винодельческой колонии
- 日本語 ウクライナの元スイス人入植地
- Italiano Ucraina, la guerra raggiunge la colonia svizzera di Shabo
These are not normal times, however. Russia's invasion seems unstoppable. In southern Ukraine Russia is linking up the Donbass region with Crimea along the coast via Mariupol. Russian forces are also targeting Odessa with the aim of cutting off Ukraine's access to the sea. This would deliver a severe blow to the Ukrainian economy.
In this fiercely contested region, around 70 kilometres southwest of Odessa, lies the former Swiss colony of Shabo, founded in 1822 by Swiss emigrants.
At the time impoverished Swiss were seeking to escape economic misery at home. They responded to the call of Russian Tsar Alexander, who promised them economic and social privileges on the Black Sea.
So they moved to the former Tsarist empire to start a new life farming in Bessarabia – a region which, throughout history, has repeatedly been embroiled in territorial conflicts between great powers.
Swiss vineyards on the Black Sea
It was mainly French-speaking winegrowers from canton Vaud who settled in Shabo. They set out from Vevey on July 19, 1822. Travelling in horse-drawn carts, they made the 2,137km journey via Bern, Zurich, St Gallen, Munich, Vienna, Lemberg (now Lviv, Ukraine), Kishinev (now Chisinau, Moldavia) and Akkermann (now Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine), some 60km southwest of Odessa.
The group of 30 people were on the road for three months. They eventually settled by a lagoon in the Dniester estuary on the Black Sea. On arrival the seven horses that had pulled the wagons died of exhaustion.
It was not an easy start: the harvest failed, and the colony was ravaged by the plague. But, after a few tough years, Shabo soon developed into the most thriving wine-growing colony on the Black Sea.
Although the privileges granted to the Swiss ended in the 1870s – after that, Swiss men also had to do military service – by 1940 Shabo was home some 900 inhabitants. Around 400 of them were of Vaudois origin and 250 of Swiss-German descent, while the rest were Germans from Russia. The village was prosperous and is said to have had four bowling alleys, a local museum and a well-stocked library.
Barely visible Swiss legacies
Over the decades, a Shabo dialect developed in the Swiss colony, which was a mixture of Swiss German and Swabian, interspersed with French, Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian and Yiddish words.
Elena Simonato, who has researched and publishedExternal link on Swiss colonies in the Russian Empire at the University of Lausanne, says it was important to follow the right way of life. "The lightest offence was punished. For example culprits had to dig a certain number of ditches to protect livestock from wolves."
Only a few traces of the Swiss colonists can still be found, for example roads with names such as "Helvetia Street" and "de la Harpe Street" and a memorial stone commemorating the Swiss cemetery. Many buildings, like the Reformed Church and the schoolhouse, were taken over for other uses, and in some cases destroyed, during the Red Army invasion in 1940.
That invasion put an abrupt end to Shabo's golden age. Most of the Swiss fled – some back to their old homeland, others overseas. Those who chose to stay were dispossessed; some were even deported to the Ural region. Only a few witnesses of that time remain in Switzerland.
However, the imported Swiss wine culture on the Black Sea lives on. In 2003 a Georgian businessman took over the agricultural production cooperative of the former Soviet Union and invested in a modern winery. In 2009 Ukraine's first wine culture centre opened in Shabo. When Russia invaded last month, the former Swiss colony was exporting wine to more than 18 countries around the world.
Two hundred years have passed since Shabo was founded. To mark the anniversary, there had been plans to renovate the settlers' church, destroyed by the Soviets, according to Swiss journalist Olivier Grivat, who produced a documentary on the Swiss colony in 2014. There is little chance this will go ahead now.

Swiss Solidarity
Swiss Solidarity has launched a fundraising campaign to help cope with an expected humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Donations can be paid via postal account 10-15000-6, adding the words "Crisis in Ukraine".
In a first phase, the money will be used to help refugees in countries neighbouring Ukraine, notably in Poland. Swiss Solidarity works with charities and aid organisations, including Caritas, HEKS/EPER, the Swiss Red Cross, Helvetas, Medair, Médecins Sans Frontières and the Terre des hommes foundation. If possible and if necessary, aid projects will also be supported in Ukraine. The money goes exclusively towards humanitarian aid.
Swiss SolidarityExternal link is an independent foundation. It was born from a programme by the French-language public radio and is now the humanitarian arm of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, the parent company of SWI swissinfo.ch.End of insertion

MegaDroid EA was developed by Albert Perrie and John Grace. This is a bit old EA. It predicts the price as soon as 2-4 hours before it changes. This terms it as accurate as none. It also executes orders with a very high probability of success.
Sometime after its launch, the system became a top-selling trading software. Like other EAs, it is designed to predict how prices move in a short period. Depending on which market the user wants to target. Forex MegaDroid EA Developers claim 95.82% accuracy. But we can't find any backtesting or live trading result on their site
- Minimum account balance of 150$
- Work Best on EURUSD(work on any currency pair)
- Work Best on 1H TimeFrame (work on any timeframe)
System Parameter Settings
Stealth: When enabled (default), the broker is not informed of the true target and stop-loss levels. Instead, they are managed internally by the MegaDroidrobot to reduce or prevent the effects of price manipulation by unscrupulous brokers.
Aggressive: When enabled (default), the MegaDroid robot trades two strategies (one conservative and one aggressive) simultaneously. This allows trading profits to accumulate faster.
GmtOffset: This parameter is primarily used for Strategy Testing or, in the event that automatic computation of the GMT Offset is not appropriate.
AutoLocalGmtOffset: When enabled (default), the MegaDroid robot will calculate the GMT offset of your broker's server from Windows's information. This is often the safest approach as it can automatically adjust for Daylight Saving. Unfortunately, this is not possible when using the Strategy Tester, and a manually specified value is therefore required in order to achieve realistic back-tested results. Determining the correct value is covered later in the section on Strategy Testing, and some suggested values are listed in the Preparing for Testing section.
AutoServerGmtOffset: When enabled (default), the MegaDroid robot will also calculate the GMT offset of your broker's server from information provided by the ForexMegaDroid server.
S1_Reference: This parameter is used to identify "Strategy 1" trades. This is one of the primary methods that unscrupulous brokers use to identify which robot(s)you may be using, so it is strongly suggested that you enter a random (or, at least, non-default) value here. Changing the value regularly is also highly recommended.
S2_Reference: This parameter is used to identify "Strategy 2" trades. This is one of the primary methods that unscrupulous brokers use to identify which robot(s)you may be using so it is strongly suggested that you enter a random (or, at least, non-default) value here. Changing the value regularly is also highly recommended. Under no circumstances should the S1_Reference and S2_Reference beset to the same value. They should also never be changed if MegaDroidtrades are active.
Comment Position Parameter Settings
TopPadding: This specifies the preferred number of blank lines between the top of the Megadroid on-chart comments block and the normal "Pair, TimeFrame, Open, High, Low, Close" information in the top-left corner of every chart.
LeftPadding: This specifies the preferred number of blank spaces between the left edge of the chart window and the left edge of the MegaDroid on-chart comments block. The default value is 30, which ensures that the standard "Ticket # – Order type" (Buy / Sell / Buy Stop / Sell Stop / Buy Limit / SellLimit) labels do not overlap with the MegaDroid on-chart comments.
TextColor1: This specifies the preferred color for the on-chart information headings /titles in the top-left corner of every chart. The default value isWhiteSmoke.
TextColor2: This specifies the preferred color for the on-chart information in the top-left corner of every chart. The default value is LightGray.
Slippage: It is not always possible to obtain the exact price wanted when trading -this setting specifies how far from the expected order price (in pips) is still considered acceptable when opening and closing orders. If the available price is further away than the Slippage value specified, the order will not be executed.
Order Management Settings
LotSize: If the automated order sizing options are not required, then the value specified here will be used to specify the size of each order opened.
Ratio Order Management Settings
RiskLevel: Many people starting out in trading have difficulty with the principles of money and Risk Management. To simplify this aspect of trading, the expert advisor can calculate everything for you and adjust your trades' size based on the balance of your account whilst respecting your tolerance for risk. When set to a value above zero, this feature will calculate the optimal LotSize to ensure that a losing trade will not risk more than the specified percentage of the account. The distance of the actual Stop Loss is taken into account in the calculation. MegaDroid EA
RecoveryMode: An important trait of the MegaDroid robot is that it has a very high success rate, so consecutive losing trades are very, very rare. WhenRecoveryMode is enabled (default). This fact is exploited in the event of a losing trade and the LotSize for all trades is doubled until the loss has been recovered.
If you are experiencing minimal trades over a long period, then there are several possible causes:
- Your broker's pricing conditions (spread, server delay, quote quality)are not good. In this case, we suggest trying a different broker. (Find the Perfect Broker For You HERE)
- MegaDroid robot does NOT trade on Fridays, at weekends, or on Monday mornings.
- Check whether you have any error messages or warnings, either on the chart or on the Experts / Journal tabs.
It is also possible that the MegaDroid EA will not trade for 24-48 hours. Regardless of the broker, due to non-conducive market conditions. Hopefully, you would agree that standing aside. When conditions are uncertain is far better than entering into low probability trades, which result in losers.

All those who have tested coronavirus are asymptomatic, according to a source at Sporting Lisbon.© AFP
Two days before the resumption of the Portuguese league, Lisbon club Sporting has 10 positive coronavirus cases, including eight players and coach Ruben Amorim, sources close to the club told AFP on Wednesday. All those infected were asymptomatic, said the source. The Portuguese league is due to resume on Friday behind closed doors. Sporting's opening game is on Saturday at home to another hard-hit club, Gil Vicente. Gil Vicente said they have 15 positive cases, including 10 players and five members of the coaching team, but resumed training on Wednesday with players who tested negative.
"The quarantine has been lifted and the team resumed training this morning with the 15 available athletes," while the positive cases "remain in isolation," a club spokesman told AFP.
For now, Saturday's game has not been cancelled, but Portugal's Health Secretary Antonio Lacerda said on Monday that the authorities would make an assessment "before each game".
Last Sunday, Sporting had to cancel a friendly against the Italian club Napoli after three positive cases among the players. By Tuesday, that number had risen to seven.
Portugal, which has suffered a jump in cases, tightened health restrictions from this week.
According to official figures published on Wednesday, Portugal has recorded three deaths and 605 new confirmed Covid-19 cases in 24 hours. The country of 10 million has recorded 1,867 deaths and nearly 64,000 confirmed cases.

Brentford are hoping that Harlee Dean and Sam Saunders agree new contracts with the club, with their deals expiring in the summer.
Dean has previously intimated that he expects to leave the club but, with the departure of James Tarkowski, the Bees are trying to tie the 24-year-old down to a fresh contract.
And Brentford co-director of football Phil Giles is hoping there will be a positive outcome in the coming weeks as he looks to get everything in place for the summer transfer window as quickly as possible.
He said: "We're speaking to him and his agent and we'd like to keep him if we can. It comes down to the economics and making sure it works for both parties.
"Hopefully we can find a positive outcome. I'm dealing with his agent and he's playing a pretty straight bat.
"It's not certain that he'll stay or leave. It's not been decided either way. I'd like to think we'll know which way it's going to go.
"If he's going, we need to replace him. If he's staying, we can focus on other areas."
Saunders revealed to GetWestLondon last week that he has had offers from America but Giles is keen to keep him at the club.
He added: "We'd like him to stay as well if possible. There is some interest in him from America.
"Either way, we want to support him as he's been important part for Brentford for so long. We want to do the right thing for him.
"Certainly since I've been here I'd like to think we resolve these situations pretty well to look after the players. Hopefully we will get that sorted out in the next few days, one way or the other."
Alan McCormack is also out of contract at the end of the season but could trigger a one-year extension if he plays a certain amount of games.
Giles explained: "He's close to the magic number where he gets a new deal. He was playing every game earlier in the season and was becoming an important player for us. We'll keep an eye on that one."
Alan Judge was the subject of January speculation after his impressive six months and Giles is keen for the Irishman to pen a new deal as long as it is right for all parties.
He said: "It's similar to Toumani in that Alan's contract is the big one for his career. Given the way he's been playing and his age, he's got to get that right.
"If Brentford were to give him that contract it's got to be right for us economically. We'd love to keep him long-term and we'll have conversations to get something sorted."
David Button and Jake Bidwell see their contracts expire in 2017 and work is already taking place on tying them to the club for longer.
Giles explained: "Talks are progressing. Both of those players are key for us. Button is a top goalkeeper and Jake is our captain and the same applies.
"We haven't got anything agreed with them but I'd like to think we'll know which way it's going.
"There's plenty of factors at play in terms of they need the right package financially. They also want to know Brentford is going in the right direction, that there's a plan in place to invest the funds in the team and get stronger.
"They don't want to be sitting in the Championship for the rest of their careers."

AC21 – more on day 2 and through to day 3
Follow-up to AC21 – Day 2 (and it's raining again) from Prole Art Threat
Day 2 concluded wonderfully with excellent session on autonomy v accountabilty in HE from Nigel Norris and a sale of my book (every one counts!).
Day 3 just as good with first rate presentations from John Field, Ron Barnett and Nick Barr, all followed by a really good dinner.
I do wonder though about the description of the menu as featuring highlights from the cuisine of the West Midlands – still sounds strange.

In 2002 the wreck of a British cruiser was located by divers off the coast of Tunisia. The stunning photographs of the wreck inspired Dr Richard Osborne to delve into the controversy surrounding the loss of one of the Royal Navy s proudest ships HMS Manchester. After taking part in the Norway campaign of 1940, Manchester was sent to the Mediterranean, where she was involved in the dangerous Malta convoys. On her first convoy she was struck by a torpedo and badly damaged. In danger of sinking at any minute, her skipper, Captain Harold Drew, managed to save his ship. Her next operation was to prove her last. In Operation Pedestal, the vital Malta relief convoy, Manchester was again hit by a torpedo. This time, rather than risk the lives of his crew Drew decided to scuttle his ship. For this Drew was court-martialled in what would become the longest such case in the history of the Royal Navy. Using the testimony of those involved, the highly respected naval historian Dr Osborne pieces together one of the most intriguing stories to emerge from the Second World War. Coupled with photographs of the wreck and a detailed account of its discovery, The Watery Grave: The Life and Death of HMS Manchester, will shed new light on this remarkable tale.
WATERY GRAVE The Life and Death of the Cruiser HMS Manchester
A different book from the majority of those written about the war at sea, it delves into the story of this particular sinking which resulted in the Court Martial of her captain. The cruiser HMS Manchester was sunk off the coast of Tunisia in August 1942 whilst participating in Operation Pedestal. An insight into the way the wartime Royal Navy dealt with the combat loss of an important vessel is given. The detailed depiction of the Court Martial process is a particular strength, along with the focus upon the relationship between a warship's captain and his senior officers, very much at the centre of this tale.
