Michigan Tech's Presidential Council of Alumnae
Students are invited to join Michigan Tech's Presidential Council of Alumnae (PCA) on Thursday, September 21 from 2:00-3:15 in the MUB Ballroom A for a presentation on Social Media/Personal Branding titled: "Am I Making a Great First Impression?"
PCA members are female graduates of Michigan Tech who have been recognized for their career and professional successes. They meet annually on campus for activities that support the University's strategic plan and specifically focus on engaging the campus community to educate, influence, and inspire the Women of Michigan Tech.
Yearning to Breathe Free Concert
Bring your lawn chairs, bring your blankets: The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts is proud to present "Yearning to Breathe Free," a free outdoor concert put on by Michael Christianson, Michigan Tech's Director of Bands, with performances by the Superior Wind Symphony, in which they will celebrate the music of great composers who emigrated to the United States. Come spend a beautiful fall evening full of band music on Sunday, September 24th, 7:00 PM, on the Rozsa/Walker lawn. If it rains, the show will be inside, in the Rozsa Center.
According to Christainson, "Many of the great composers of iconic American band music came to the United States from overseas. They were drawn by the words of Emma Lazarus, inscribed in 1883 on the base of the Statue of Liberty:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
We will perform mostly original works for winds by great composers who were immigrants to the US: Irving Berlin, Antonin Dvorak, Sergei Prokofiev, Darius Milhaud, Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, Percy Grainger, Chen Yi, Tania Leon , plus a Sousa march dedicated to his overseas friends! Bring your blanket, your dinner, and spread out on the lawn as you enjoy a classic Band moment with Michigan Tech's Superior Wind Symphony! Concert starts at 7:00PM, sunset starts at 8:01."

Artist Exhibit at the Rozsa
Who owns the wind? The leaves on the trees? When a paper company cuts down a 75-year-old tree, or a landowner clears brush for a better view of the lake, how is an entire ecosystem affected? What ethical, cultural, and social questions are raised? Artist Katie Hargrave, a professor of art at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, who holds degrees in Painting, Intermedia, and Cultural Production, explores these questions in her exhibition, It's nothing personal (space), opening at the Rozsa Center's gallery A-Space, on Friday, September 22. "It's nothing personal (space)" is an exploration of the competing ideas of ownership and stewardship as they relate to public and private land, trees and deserts, and individual and corporate voices. Inspired by a road trip to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, the site of militia protests during the winter of 2016, the exhibition includes fiber, audio, video, and drawings The September 22 opening includes a reception with the artist from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM. Hargrave will discuss her work at 5:30 PM. The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public, and the show will remain open through November 11. Gallery hours are M – F 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM, and Saturdays from 1:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
Katie Hargrave, who was born in 1985 in Chicago and now resides in Chattanooga, TN, received a BFA from the University of Illinois, an MFA in Intermedia and Drawing from the University of Iowa, and an MA in museum studies and anthropology from Brandeis University. Her work has been shown at DIY spaces, commercial galleries, non-profits, and festivals, including the Manifesta Biennial in Murcia, Spain where she worked with activists to design bilingual tools for direct action; SPACES gallery in Cleveland, where she applied the framework of forest succession to city planning, and the Floating Library, a zine[1] collection on a boat in the Minneapolis lakes. Hargrave is a member of the collaborative groups "The Think Tank that has yet to be named" and "Like Riding a Bicycle." For more information about Hargrave, please visit her website at http://www.katiehargrave.us/

For the most part, I get this question in good faith and don't mind answering.
Once in a while, however, I get the vibe that the asker is hunting for "weak points" in Cued Speech, especially when they see me using sign language to communicate. Needless to say, this makes me a bit uncomfortable since I don't want my statements to be taken out of context.
On a pragmatic level, it's like asking if I still use Mandarin. Most of the time I don't, but if I visit China or a Chinatown, then yes, of course I'm going to use Mandarin– at least as best as I can, while utterly butchering the tones. Likewise, when I visit cueing friends, I'll use Cued English with them. If I'm with deaf or signing friends, I'll use sign language. The environment determines what I use. It's as simple as that.
So rest assured, I'm not going to ever give up Cued Speech. English is my native language, and Cued Speech is my most accurate and reliable way of visually conveying that language in real time.

The Department of Political Science was established in Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Satabarshiki Mahavidyalaya in the year 2006. Initially it began with only General Course but later on Calcutta University granted Honours Course in the subject. Initially the College was affiliated to the University of Calcutta but presently it falls under West Bengal State University, Barasat. The Department has one Assistant Professor and three Part time teachers. The department offers both honours and general courses. Presently the semester system under CBCS has been introduced since July 2018 and students are taught accordingly. The second and third year follows the annual system of examination.
Program Outcome
Aristotle was once asked what is the difference between an educated man and one who is uneducated. The answer was its the same difference as between a living person and a dead one. Education is the basic criteria which takes any society further. In present day world full of crises of various kinds, mere school education is not enough. A person can contribute towards improving his socio-economic condition of the society in general and his own condition in particular only if he has college level higher education or a graduation degree i.e., B.A either Honours or General.
The main educational qualification needed for most of the jobs now a days is the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Whether it is a job in Schools or Colleges, Banking sector or any private sector, without B.A degree it is very difficult to get a job. Graduation degree is the basic degree which is needed for appearing in Civil Services examination either in the Central or State level.
Program Specific Outcome
Political Science is subject which has expanded its frontiers continuously since its inception and is still growing day by day. Tracing its origin from Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and the like it began its journey as a part of Philosophy but quickly branched itself out of its mother discipline to create a niche of its own. Students of Political Science Honours learn not only about the State, Government and its organs, its functioning, the Political system but also the behaviour of people, organizations, interest groups, their interactions with the society as a whole. This enriches the students and makes them complete individuals with a full knowledge about all the aspects of the society.
Presently Political Science Honours includes the study of Political theory, Political thought (both Indian and Western), International relations, Political sociology, Public administration, Indian government and politics, Comparative politics and the like. It also includes the study of various social movements, gender studies, studies on nationalism and subaltern studies. It encompasses a vast arena of both the political life and the civil society which deals with the social life of the people. It has close connection with History which is often referred to as its sister discipline. It is believed by political scientists that without an understanding of the past no study of the present or the future can be made.
Political Science as a subject is of immense importance in building a bright future for students. Its multifaceted scope offers a variety of opportunities to those who pursue this subject either at the Honours level. After studying Political Science, students can branch out to various professions as IAS, IFS, WBCS, School and College teachers, Journalists, Banking sector and other government services and the like. Their knowledge about current affairs, society, politics, government and its functioning gives them an extra edge in whatever profession they choose. Since they are aware not only about the political but the social aspects of society, it helps them become more empathetic to the social problems and therefore become improved human beings and conscious citizens who can take the country forward. They are sensitive towards gender issues, issues of unemployment, issues relating to various dissensions in society as caste, creed, religion etc and they can offer their enriched opinion towards removal of these ills of the society and making the society a better place to live in.
Studying Political Science Honours makes a student an expert in all kinds of political analyses as well as analysis of the society. The students can then share their valuable opinion about the society and politics which can help to create a better society. In present times of fratricidal wars and various conflicts spread all over the world study of Political science helps to make the society a better place to live in. It explains why wars take place, what can be done to minimize conflict and maximize peace efforts in society.

Two of our signature strains, mixed to perfection. One of our favorite customers, Erick from GA, shared his favorite blend and we liked it so much, we added it to our top line-up!
The product has a greenish hue and is guaranteed fresh. The secret recipe: 80% of our premium Double Green and 20% of our Fire Red Bali. For those that are diehard green fans, this is a must try. The double green packs a punch and most feedback is more on the fast side with still some of the benefits enjoyed by the red strains. This mixture hits the mark on the spectrum! An energizing, euphoric green with a touch of the pain-relieving, mood enhancing calming qualities of some reds. As always, it depends on the individual but here at Chakra, we love it and think you will too!
1. Usage Aroma Therapy: I suggest starting small with a little over 2 grams which is equal to about a level teaspoon (if you do not have a scale). After the initial dose, wait 30 minutes and adjust so add another gram and a half and you should start feeling the effects if you haven't yet. It is also recommended to do this on an empty stomach so make sure you don't eat a huge breakfast before doing your kratom dose.
There are a number of good sources about how to use Kratom online, including YouTube, and on dosage.
Terms of Use: We DO NOT sell any of our products with any medical claims.
** This product is not intended to treat, cure or prevent any illness or disease.
- Our products are not intended for use by pregnant or nursing women.

February 23 was a Soviet memorial holiday celebrating those soldiers who fell in World War II defending Russia against the Germans. Today it has become a sort of Men's Day (to compliment Women's Day, which takes place on March 8). Although many Ukrainians don't celebrate this holiday, our office takes it very seriously and prepares an entire spectacle and feast for the men. The women transformed the office into a Ukrainian kolkhoz (a collective farm during Soviet times, basically a Soviet kibbutz).
We all cooked different traditional Ukrainian dishes and set a very Ukrainian table. Here the pitcher, spoons, and napkins are very Ukrainian, as well as the food.
The women all dressed up as traditionally as we could– we wore colorful skirts, traditional floral print shawls, hair ribbons, and colorful jewelry. Anya, shown in this picture, even had a traditional Ukrainian shirt.
All the women (well, really except for me, because I don't speak Ukrainian) wrote new lyrics about every man to the tune of a famous Ukrainian song, which we sang to them in Amir's office.
We then handed out the gifts– bubliki (the necklace of bagel-esque cookies you see me hanging around Stas's neck) pickles, and vodka.
You can see what we did to the label of each bottle. Here Seriozha is holding up his bottle of "Tkachoff" vodka (a combination of his last name, Tkach, and Nemiroff, the actual brand of the vodka), with a picture of him. The funniest one by far was "Amiroff" brand vodka.
Once the ceremony had concluded, we went to the dining room to eat. As on most holidays and special occasions, we stayed at the table for a long time (about two hours, although if we didn't have to work, we certainly would have stayed longer). We ate until we couldn't stuff any more food down, toasted to the men and to everyone in the office, drank plenty of wine and vodka, and sang– mostly Ukrainian songs, but some Russian, too.

Know Your Rights
If requested, you should give your name and address to police and protective service officers (PSO). Police and PSO's must tell you the reason why they are questioning you, if they don't you should ask. You also have the right to ask for the officer's name, rank and where they are stationed. If you refuse or give a false name and address you can be charged and fined $500.
You do not have to go anywhere with the police unless arrested. The police must tell you "You are under arrest", and state why you are under arrest. Always ask why they are taking you to the police station and for the details of the arresting officer.
If arrested, you have the right to phone a lawyer. You should ask for this. You also have the right to phone a friend or relative.
You do not have to answer other police questions. Be calm and polite. There is no such thing as an "off the record" statement. If you have a clear explanation of your innocence, it may be advisable to give this to your lawyer first. Sometimes you can get into trouble by answering police questions. To each and every question (other than your name and address), answer "No comment until I get legal advice".
If you are under 18 years old, the police cannot question you without a parent, guardian or an independent adult present.
You "have to" give your fingerprints if you are 15 years old or over, and the police suspect that you may have committed an offence. Police may use reasonable force to take your fingerprints. If you are between 10 and 14, you "don't have to" give your fingerprints unless both you and a parent/guardian agree, or the police obtain a court order.
You have the right to refuse your photograph being taken, or being put in an identification "line-up".
You can say no if police may request you undergo a forensic procedure (e.g. blood sample, taking pubic hair or saliva). The police must get a court order first.
Police can only search you, or your car, if they reasonably suspect illegal drugs, weapons, stolen goods or to preserve evidence. Otherwise, a search warrant is required.
Police must provide an interpreter if they believe that you require one.

Meet a Mariner!
Wanting A Change, Finding A Challenge, Chasing A Dream
By Tiffany King
Chris Campbell will graduate on May 13 in front of his family and friends, earning a bachelor's degree in business administration in hospitality and tourism. In 2015, Campbell earned his associates of applied science in culinary arts. His goal is to one day open his own restaurant back home in Preston, Georgia.
The Dream of Having His Own Business
Campbell grew up cooking with his mother and grandmother, which is where his love and appreciation of food developed.
"Everything I learned about food is from my grandmother and her Southern cooking. I remember picking field peas on Sunday mornings with her," Campbell said. "What I have learned about life has been in some way centered around food."
Campbell had a conversation with his father one day about his plans for the future. His father questioned why Campbell wanted to come back to their small town to open a restaurant, saying there weren't many opportunities available. The lack of opportunities is the very reason why Campbell wants to start a business in Preston.
"I want to show kids that there is more to life than wanting to be a doctor to earn money. If you love what you do, then the money will come," Campbell said. "I just want to be an outlet for kids just like me, those without much interest in sports—more artistic."
Campbell hopes his restaurant will be a foundation for his family, friends, and community.
"Many see where they've come from as a burden but I'm proud of where I come from—red clay, bare feet—I embrace that. Why not go back to something that I know and help the community?" Campbell said.
Campbell plans to have a soul food restaurant featuring "Floribbean" cuisine—a blend of flavors and cuisine representative of foods original to Florida and the Caribbean—as a special of the week.
"Back home, they're deep rooted in Southern food and have strong connections to soul food," he said.
Pushing Himself to be Better
Campbell came to the College of Coastal Georgia because he wanted a change and a challenge. He learned about the culinary program and believed the College was located in an ideal spot—far enough where he can experience something different but not too far away from home. Campbell found a place where he could live up to his maximum potential.
Campbell believes in pushing himself. He is currently a resident assistant (RA) at the College and has always worked three jobs at the same time.
Campbell has worked at Seasons of Japan, the King and Prince resort, Jekyll Island Club Hotel, The Farmer and the Larder, and Indigo Coastal Shanty. In addition to being an RA, Campbell currently works at Halyards Restaurant and is a barista at Wake Up Coffee Co.
"I feel we're at our maximum potential when we have to balance multiple things in life," he said. "I push myself to the point where I see what I can take on, and how far can I go to make sure my time is fully occupied and used wisely."
At the College, Campbell participated in the CHEF Club, American Culinary Federation, SlowFoodUSA, Chefs Collaborative and the Golden Key Honour Society.
His drive to push himself comes from his family.
"My family had to struggle for everything. One time we lived in really bad housing and I saw how my parents worked through it. Every house we lived in would get better than the last one. I saw that if you put in the hard work it will eventually pay off," Campbell said. "My mom and grandmother taught me to be strong. My dad taught me the importance of being strong enough to be vulnerable and not be afraid to show love."
People often tell him he's crazy for having so many jobs at one time, but Campbell said his grades never suffered.
"I always made sure that I was on top of my schoolwork. School was a priority. If anything did suffer, it was giving myself time to take care of myself," he said.
Lessons Learned and Future Plans
Campbell described his college experience as a lesson.
"I realized that taking care of yourself is a must. You can study and work, but it you don't take care of yourself then you're missing out. It helps your mental health," Campbell said. "There was a moment my junior year when I realized that if I didn't take a step back and say no to some things, that I would completely breakdown. Don't be afraid to seek counseling. I definitely advise students to seek counseling if they're going through a hard time."
He's also learned the importance of showing compassion to others. He would challenge himself to encourage five people one day, then 10 the next day.
"People remembered me from the simple compliments I gave them," he said. "You just need to show others love when it's least expected."
The day after graduation Campbell will continue to live and work in Brunswick. The plan is to continue working at Halyards and Wake Up Coffee for a year or two as he networks and decides his next step. Campbell is considering pursuing a master's degree in crisis management or a related field, or pursue certifications in business continuity and disaster recovery.
"Knowing the basics in how to address crises will allow me to be a better chef and restaurant owner. I want to understand every area, so when it comes down to owning my own place, there's nothing that will surprise me, whether it's a natural disaster, or handling employee turnover," he said.
What Campbell will miss most at the College will be interacting with his residents, who he's watch grow over the last two years. He'll also miss his friends and his "very cool" professors.

US aerospace giant Boeing delivered its 500th 787 Dreamliner to Colombian carrier Avianca this week, underscoring how the composite plane has become a common sight around the world.
Despite the enormous teething problems with the aircraft and the drama of overheating lithium batteries early in its career, the pace of delivery for the 787 has been the fastest of any twin-aisle aircraft to date. It took the Boeing 777 nine years to reach the same milestone.
Boeing is now building 12 Dreamliners per month, another industry record, and still has a backlog of more than 700 orders. It builds the plane at factories in Everett, Washington, and Charleston, South Carolina.
"Achieving 500 deliveries – the fastest to 500 for twin aisles – is a great accomplishment, made possible by the hard work and dedication of our employees and global suppliers," Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president and general manager, 787 program, Mark Jenks said in a statement.
The 787 is now flying more than 530 routes globally and customers have used the fuel-efficient plane to pen more than 120 new nonstop routes, many of which were not possible before its entry into service in 2011.
Since that time, according to Boeing, the 787 fleet had grown to include 48 operators, who have collectively flown 696,000 revenue flights, carrying 133 million passengers over 1.7 billion revenue miles.
The Airbus challenger to the 787, The A350 XWB, entered service with Qatar Airways in January last year.
Despite the growth of the 787, Boeing is looking at further job cuts in its commercial aircraft business in the New Year and slowing production of the Boeing 777.

KUWAIT CITY, Jan 10: New years come and go, but luxury is timeless. Yusuf A. Alghanim & Sons Automotive, the sole distributor of Cadillac vehicles in Kuwait, is proud to celebrate the new year of 2016 with its customers by offering them spectacular promotions on its award winning luxury vehicles.
The January-only offer presents unsurpassable value on the ultimate sport car, Cadillac ATS, the all-new luxury crossover, Cadillac SRX and the premium Cadillac Escalade, with prices starting at KD 9,999, KD 12,999, and KD 25,995, respectively. Combining bold looks with unstoppable performance, customers will enjoy the cars' athletic exterior and airy cabin, whose interior design combines thoughtful technology and cut-and-sewn details made by a professional team of designers and engineers, all in all making their New Year purchase that more memorable and luxurious.
This unique promotion is a testament to Cadillac Alghanim's ongoing commitment to provide its customers with fantastic offers and the opportunity to own a luxurious car equipped with high-tech features and safety standards. Also true to its commitment are Cadillac Alghanim's award-winning service center and aftersales benefits that cumulatively offer customers competitive value and exceptional services. The company invites luxury fans not to pass up this limited time offer and to test-drive the cars of their dreams at any of its showrooms.
All Cadillac cars are enhanced with Cadillac User Experience (CUE), a comprehensive in-vehicle experience that merges intuitive design with auto industry-first controls while providing connectivity, control and convenience to the driver and passengers alike. It pairs entertainment and information data from up to 10 Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, USBs, SD cards and MP3 players with a vehicle infotainment system. A setup that will reduce complexity and confusion through natural voice commands, customized information, and fewer buttons and larger icons. CUE is operated from a vibrant 8-inch LCD touch screen that resembles a smart phone's screen by using large easy to see icons to control commands and functions. The screen seamlessly integrated into the top of the central instrument panel, and a motorized fully capacitive faceplate at the bottom conceals a large storage area.
The 2016 SRX's design is classic Cadillac, with luxury that touches every corner of the vehicle, from the high performance powertrain and technology drenched dashboard to the exclusive comfort and convenience features designed to surpass expectations. In addition to its roomy interior with seating for five and a large cargo area, the new SRX is also beautifully sculpted; its exterior design is distinguished by striking angles and refined detail while its signature shield grille offers expressive depth and refinement.
Performance is integral in the SRX, which is powered by a 3.6L direct-injected V-6 engine rated at a SAE-certified 308 horsepower (230 kW) and 359 Nm of torque. Lightweight features help reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance. Examples include a composite intake manifold that saves approximately 2.5 kg over the weight of a comparable aluminum intake and an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately 6 kg per engine. All-wheel drive offered on all models.
Radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Front and Rear Braking are also available on the SRX. Front and Rear Automatic Braking relies on short-range radar technology and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver prevent front and rear low-speed collisions via a progression of alerts that extend to complete braking, if necessary. Additional advanced safety features offered on the SRX's Driver Awareness and Driver Assist packages
The Cadillac ATS compact luxury sports sedan challenges the world's best premium cars with an acclaimed balance of performance and refinement, effectively wrapped in a progressive expression of Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy. With one of the lowest curb weights in the segment–less than 1,542 kg–the ATS's driving dynamics are rooted in mass efficiency, which helps make it Cadillac's lightest and most agile sedan.
Cadillac proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis techniques were used to develop an all-new combustion system with a higher compression ratio, which also helps boost efficiency. The award-winning 3.6L V-6 collection is rated at 321 horsepower and 373 Nm of torque, and comes equipped with Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo® Brakes and Cadillac's advanced crash-avoidance systems that can pre-fill and automatically apply braking in response to potential hazards.
To date, the new Escalade has resonated strongly among luxury SUV buyers in the region, and now Cadillac has elevated its line even further to please customers that aspire for the finest and appreciate luxury craftsmanship in its details.
The Escalade Platinum encapsulates the pinnacle of Cadillac luxury with the most premium materials. The first- and second-row seats are wrapped in Soft Nappa leather, while the dashboard, upper door panels and center console are clad in hand-stitched and hand-wrapped leather. Customers can choose between two distinct interior environments, each paired with suede microfiber headliner trim and unique exotic wood accents.
The Escalade Platinum Collection has an interior crafted to provide its passengers with unsurpassed comfort and convenience. Heated and cooled 18-way power front seats are standard, with a massage function on the driver's seat. A pair of seven-inch LCD screens, embedded in the back of the front seat headrests, supplement the overhead 9-inch screen, while a cooled center console compartment keeps beverages chilled. Platinum Collection models also include premium floor mats and Platinum-branded doorsill plates.
The exterior of the Escalade Platinum models are distinguished by 22-inch wheels with chrome accents, Platinum exterior badging, and a unique grille mesh design adorned by the new, streamlined Cadillac Crest.
Mechanically, the Escalade Platinum introduces new technical upgrades that will become standard on the entire Escalade range. Such as the new 8-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case [standard on four-wheel drive models]. A new Surround View camera system helps driving ease and increases visibility during maneuvering, and a now open and closing hands-free capability to the existing electronic lift gate enhances convenience.
Yusuf Ahmed Alghanim & Sons Automotive showcases the company's commitment to enhance customers' unique Cadillac experience by offering customers peace of mind with a comprehensive insurance program. In addition, all Cadillac owners will enjoy service and maintenance for four years or 100,000 km, warranty for 4 years or 100,000 km, 24-hour roadside assistance anywhere in the Middle East for four years (unlimited miles) plus a courtesy transportation and a replacement vehicle upon availability.
Adding to the luxury experience, Cadillac offers its customers in Yusuf Ahmed Alghanim the highest quality of services. The service center is equipped with a large variety of the most advanced equipment operated by a team of skilled professionals and effective consultants who ensure timely service. Visit Cadillac's showroom in Safat Alghanim in Alrai today and do not pass up this opportunity to take advantage of this January-only offer.

The point of a good user interface is to help the user get the information they want as fast as possible with the least amount of work. It is a fine balance between attractiveness and interactivity. Most users are used to seeing certain elements in certain places and have created habits around specific icons. One element that has been adopted in mass by websites and apps is the burger menu. The idea is that it can be used to hide navigation on smaller screens, only revealing the menu when a user clicks the icon. It means that screen real estate is kept clean and available.
A bit of history
The burger menu originates from Xerox Star, designed by Norm Cox in 1990. He said "Its graphic design was meant to be very "road sign" simple, functionally memorable, and mimic the look of the resulting displayed menu list. With so few pixels to work with, it had to be very distinct, yet simple. I think we only had 16×16 pixels to render the image. (or possibly 13×13… can't remember exactly)." Remember that date, 1990.
The burger disappeared for a while until Facebook brought it back in 2010. However, seemingly Apple was the reason for it gaining popularity. The introduction of the smartphone and the need for a compact display lead to its reintroduction. From here everyone else jumped on the bandwagon. 7 years later I think it might be time for some people to get off. A lot of designers and developers believe that the burger menu is the only way to handle navigation on small screens. I won't disagree that it is an elegant solution, but I believe there are other more effective ways of displaying a menu.
Just a few facts
In 2015 James Foster ran multiple A/B tests on engagement levels between a Burger icon, and the word "Menu". He found that there was no difference between the two icons. Users are aware that a hamburger is a menu. Unfortunately, the problem does not lie within the understanding of the icon, rather the issue of discoverability.
Experiments have shown that exposing menu options in more visible ways increases engagement (seems like common sense, right?), user satisfaction and profit. Only three years after Facebook used the burger, they switched it out for tabbed navigation. I could not find any figures to justify the change for Facebook, but the project management company Redbooth banished their burger menu and found a 70% increase in session time and a 65% increase in daily activity almost overnight. The music streaming service Spotify also threw in the burger towel when redesigning their iOS app and found a 30% increase in menu item engagement.
So what is the solution?
Like anything in digital media, there is no one size fits all solution. It very much depends on the market segment, the purpose of the website/app, and how many items are in the navigation (which doesn't help, I know). Sometimes the burger might be the right choice. Although it probably shouldn't be used for primary navigation, secondary navigation such as FAQs or News would be a perfect fit. As long as your main Call to Actions are visible and have a good click through rate, a burger menu may help to reduce that extra clutter.
If the navigation items are able to be put into categories, or there are not many then tabs could be a good replacement. A lot of apps are moving in this direction, with the primary navigation located at the bottom of the screen. This reduces the number of interactions the user has to make, and because of this increases engagement. Facebook uses a combination of tab and burger to help reduce clutter.
I recommend that when designed a website or app interface you really think about what the end user wants out of it, and what engagement you want from the end user. If you give them too many options they may end up with analysis paralysis and leave. Also, remember that it's never too late to change your navigation. A/B test everything to find out what really works for you!

BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University's Dr. Brian MacHarg, director academic civic engagement and, Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT), spoke during a reception held June 21 to welcome young African leaders to campus as part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship Program.
The event, held in the breezeway of Appalachian's Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, was attended by all 25 Mandela Washington Fellows, as well as Appalachian faculty, staff, and students, and individuals from the local and surrounding communities. Dr. Jesse Lutabingwa, associate vice chancellor of International Education and Development and co-director of Appalachian's Mandela Washington Fellows Program, along with MacHarg shared words of affirmation and encouragement as they spoke to attendees.
MacHarg, who serves as co-director of Appalachian's Mandela Washington Fellows Institute, along with Dr. Jesse Lutabingwa, associate vice chancellor of international education and development and co-director of the institute, shared words of affirmation and encouragement as they spoke to attendees.
During his statements to the fellows, MacHarg said the Appalachian Community welcomed them "into this space to be our brothers and sisters."
To further express Appalachian's welcoming spirit and its commitment to inclusive excellence, MacHarg quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stating, "Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be... This is the inter-related structure of reality."
According to the Young African Leaders Initiative website, "the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, begun in 2014, is the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) that empowers young people through academic coursework, leadership training, and networking.
In 2019, the fellowship will provide 700 outstanding young leaders from sub-Saharan Africa with the opportunity to hone their skills at a U.S. college or university with support for professional development after they return home. Institutes focus on leadership and skills development in one of three tracks: business, civic engagement, or public management.
The fellows, who are between the ages of 25 and 35, have established records of accomplishment in promoting innovation and positive impact in their organizations, institutions, communities, and countries.
Since the program's inception, Appalachian has hosted 25 Mandela Washington fellows each year and creates opportunities for individuals from campus and local communities to connect with the fellows through campus programming, homestay opportunities and visits to various community organizations.
"Engaging with the Mandela Washington Fellows is a tremendous opportunity to bring the best of the best from Africa here," MacHarg said. "Two of Appalachian's traditions include community engagement and sustainability, both of which draw on our strengths of creating opportunities for Appalachian students."

Mind your Manners, Part 1
"Greeting protocols"
Have you ever felt unsure or confused about what to do in social situations when you want to know the right and proper way to do something? There are many tips, depending on the kind of social occasion. The ones given below should prove helpful for many of them. Good manners convey not only breeding but also respect for self and respect for others.
● Close female friends may hug and kiss each other on the cheeks when they meet.
● For those who do not fall under that category, consider the following: greet the eldest or most important person first.
● A firm, brief, and confident handshake, with a warm smile, is the standard greeting. Avoid pumping the other person's hand or giving a "wilted" and weak handshake or "fingershake."
● It has become a habit among Filipinos to have "beso-beso" (buss or kiss on the cheek) not only among women but even between a man and woman. A younger person should wait to be bussed or kissed by an older woman; a woman who is junior in status, waits for the woman with a higher status to buss or kiss her. If the latter does not initiate, a friendly handshake suffices. A man always waits for a woman to give him her cheek. A young woman waits for an older man or a man with stature to initiate the manner of greeting.
● Maintain eye contact during the greeting. Avoid shaking the hand of a person while looking at another.
● Filipinos are very particular about titles and positions. Always address a person with his profession (i.e., Dr., Atty., Engineer, Architect, etc.) followed by the surname. Even past and present positions are appended to the surname of the person (i.e., Secretary, USEC, ASEC, Justice, Chief Justice, Judge, etc.) Never call a person by his first name or nickname unless invited to do so.

Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington says he experienced "grief" after filming the end of the show.
The eighth and final series of HBO's blockbuster series begins on 14 April, and will comprise of 6 feature-length episodes.
Harington, 32, told The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show: "It's weird walking around with this big secret. We know how it all wraps up, how it ends.
"It's like when you finish a good book, you're not happy it's over… You have this grief that it's over and that's exactly the same with … doing this show…
"There's this loss around it", he said, adding that he was "maybe not happy but very satisfied".
Harington, who plays Jon Snow in the epic fantasy drama, returns alongside Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Lena Headey in the final series, after a near two-year wait.
"I'm so excited for people to see it… Hopefully it will change TV again like it did originally and break boundaries," he told the Radio 2 show.
A trailer for the new series showed Harington's alter ego confronted with a statue which appears to be his own image.
The actor told Ball: "I kept that statue… the one in the crypt. They sent it to my house. I've got it in my shed. How sad is that?
"I was the only one who kept that statue, that's how narcissistic I am. I'm going to turn it into a water feature."
Game Of Thrones was adapted from the novels by George RR Martin and first aired in 2011.
"I'm going to turn it into a water feature…"
Kit just HAD to take a memento from the filming of the @GameOfThrones trailer!

Blood elf. Because I didnt want to play a Tauren at the time, but now I'd be perfectly fine with playing a tauren if the race chance wasnt so incredibly overpriced. And because I dont play Alliance anymore.
Blood elf. Because I didnt want to play a Tauren at the time, but now I'd be perfectly fine with playing a tauren if the race chance wasnt so incredibly overpriced. And because I dont play Alliance anymore.
Was a Human because I thought Dwarfs were ugly and retarded (still do) and then when I went Horde I had to choose Belf because that was the only Horde race.. Tauren Paladins look ugly as hell so I'm not changing. I was hoping for Zandalari but Blizzard shit on that dream so Belf I will stay.
Blood Elf female (my first pala, started as Human back in WOTLK, race changed to Belf mid-MoP as I went back Horde)
Male Tauren
Male Dwarf
Male Draenei
Female Tauren
Female Lightforged Draenei
I go for class/race combos that look good in a class' sets of gear, but human males are just too damned horrible when it comes to run animations and shit... Which sucks, because I think they look the best as Paladins.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité⭑・゚゚・*:༅。.。༅:*゚:*:✼✿ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ✿✼:*゚:༅。.。༅:*・゚ ゚・⭑Number of retail servers listed at High/Full in EU alone; 79.
That's up by 13 since I last counted them in 8.2, and more than Classic has in total server count. Retail servers have higher pop capacity. Just a note to combat "ClAsSiC hAs AlL TeH PlAyErS"-derps.
Tauren, because I play on Horde and I would rather play that over Blood Elves.
Blood elf. Arcane torrent is great for AoE pulling those casters in dungs and also catching enemny healer off guard in bg/arena.
Human because the only other option at the time was a Dwarf and I didn't want to play a Dwarf.
Blood Elf. Free mana + silence + 1% crit == the best holy pala stat
Draenei for the racials (kinda locked into Alliance, would probably be BE otherwise).
Dwarf. I like their solidarity and stoutness. Solid.
Human because of how the armor looks on male humans.
Female Blood Elf, 'cause you they're hawt ya know.
Tauren male. I play horde and am not a fan of blood elves. Were there another race option I'd likely choose it.
Male Blood Elf, strictly because I think they look great in just about all armor. I was hoping for Zandalari, but, poof.
Male human since 2005 Human because thats the only race that are true paladins! Everyone else is something different than a paladin (except dwarfs) and are only grouped up as paladins for mechanics
Zandalari Paladin because i love the prelates and the fantasy of doing something in an unexpected way (worshipping the loa instead of just the light)
Blood elf because that was the only game in town.
Dwarf because Might of the Mountain for holy
It was Blood Elf because female belf healing animations is the best ingame. Then guild turned alliance for Legion, so I changed to Draenei female because their story is good and the looks and animations are nice.
Now though, it is a Lightforged. I feel it is an upgraded Draenei. Really digging how nice it is. And Army of the Light is a RP-element for it.
Gotta train my withered in Sura-a-mar, make them better.
Unlocking leylines, drinking arcwine, taking it one day at a time.
Gotta do the dungeons in Sura-a-mar, The Arcway and Court of Stars.
I'm doing this task, wearing my mask, tryn'a hide away from those guards.

UPDATE: Footage is now available.
I put together some more footage from The Westin and inside the Symposium Showroom floor. For some reason You Tube is not enjoying yours truly and my upload request, so below is my written entry - sans video. When I wake up Sunday am, I'll try again to upload the footage. Trying not to go to bed pissed off....
Here is some footage from the hotel and the "showroom floor." Not to bash, but if you had a booth at an event like this and you saw someone with a video camera, wouldn't you stop them and ask them what's up? I know, most likely you're not in the industry so of course your answer is yes.
Walking through the middle of the floor with my camera, only a select few decided to speak with me. TRAKUS and www.VIPPREFERRED.com had people manning their booths who showed enough interest to step-up and speak to me about their product. One other booth took the time to speak with me and that was Cantor Gaming who has some cool new bets they are trying to "Sell" to tracks. Those guys didn't want to go on camera (WTF???), but they gave me the full rundown on what they were selling. Too bad they didn't want to be filmed, could have been some great pr for them and others.
It's shit like this that pisses me off about this industry.
Do you think it's true that the whole industry has just never needed to aggressively promote itself and therefore has no idea how to do it? It's almost as if the industry is still acting like a 6 yr. old - never grown up - while the rest of this country's major entertainment and sports properties are somewhere around 40?

I think it's funny that someone who posts online using a pseudonym would berate an executive for not wanting to do an on-camera on-the-spot interview.
