UNRWA chief: US decision to cut funds 'abrupt and harmful'
UN agency for Palestinian refugees launches 'Dignity is Priceless,' which aims to raise $500 million to ensure the agency's core services are unaffected by US decision to cut $65 million of annual funding to the organization; 'I can't imagine coming to an UNRWA school and say to the students, "Sadly we failed,"' says UNRWA head.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees on Monday launched an "unprecedented" appeal seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in response to funding cuts by the Trump administration.
Last week the State Department notified the UN Relief and Works Agency that the US is withholding $65 million of a planned $125 million funding installment. It also made clear that additional US donations will be contingent on major changes by UNRWA, which has been heavily criticized by Israel.
Today, there are an estimated 5 million Palestinians refugees and their descendants, mostly scattered across the region. UNWRA provides them with education, health and welfare services.
UNRWA's commissioner-general, Pierre Krähenbühl, on Monday called the decision "abrupt and harmful."
"The world has to ask itself this question: does the Middle East need more instability? Is it reasonable to think that by reducing amounts to UNRWA one is achieving anything else but greater instability in the region?" he added.
Krähenbühl said the agency will create new funding alliances and get the UN secretary-general involved in high-level ministerial meetings to generate donations from countries.
The "Dignity is Priceless" campaign aims to raise $500 million to ensure that the agency's core services are unaffected.
"We cannot accept that this investment in education, in health care, and in dignity and respect would be interrupted in any way. It's much too risky for the entire Middle East," Krähenbühl warned.
Around 525,000 boys and girls in 700 UNRWA schools could be affected by the US fund cut, Krähenbühl told Reuters while visiting a girls' school in Gaza City. Palestinian access to primary health care could also be impacted.
"I can't imagine to come to this school or to any other school in UNRWA in few weeks and say to the students, 'Sadly we failed.' Failing is not an option," Krähenbühl said.
The US is UNWRA's largest donor, supplying nearly 30 percent of its budget. The agency focuses on providing health care, education and social services to Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
In Gaza, more than 1.3 million residents—half the population—rely on food and other services provided by the agency. On Monday, Gaza businesses went on a partial strike to protest the economic situation.
Notices on the shuttered doors read "we want to live" and "enough of siege," referring to the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt after the Hamas took over the territory in 2007.
Reuters contributed to this report.

A conflict of interest has been dug out of the bottom of a trash can in Camps Bay. But what started out as a debate on "champagne socialism" has become something of an inquiry into journalistic ethics. Needless to say, the EFF are raging with the Daily Maverick following their latest article that takes aim at the red berets – and their H&M purchases.
Veteran reporter Marianne Thamm did a bit of "dumpster diving" following the second SONA of the year in June. She tracked down an entourage of EFF members to a residency they had rented in the plush Camps Bay suburb of Cape Town during the event.
EFF Camps Bay stay comes under scrutiny
What she literally called "trash journalism" ended up finding a lot of empty alcohol bottles (of the pricey variety) and receipts from stores such as Zara and H&M – the latter of which was subject to intense backlash from the EFF following the now-infamous "racist hoodie advert" of 2018.
Thamm reasoned that this lavish night of partying was the total opposite of the values the party had been preaching. The luxury villa, the expensive booze and apparent endorsement of H&M was, in her book, in contravention of the party's manifesto. But not everyone has been impressed by this act of snooping.
Right or wrong?
Senior media figures have Tweeted their opposition to her methods. Aldrin Sampear, one of eNCA's most well-known reporters, labelled the investigation as "shocking" – an opinion which Julius Malema retweeted onto his timeline:
This is really shocking … in an era when journalists are constantly being attacked this just gives those who attack us more ammunition. What do used condoms do in public discourse? https://t.co/DMN6rILE6J— Aldrin Sampear (@AldrinSampear) July 3, 2019
EFF react to "trash journalism"
We decided to stick our head above the parapet and talk to the EFF about the allegations. However, Secretary General Godrich Gardee was in no mood to even entertain the report. When given a chance to set the record straight, the party executive abruptly declined, slamming the standards of journalism in South Africa.
It would seem the EFF had pre-empted some elements of Thamm's article, too. During a press briefing on Tuesday, Julius Malema made reference to both H&M and "flavoured condoms":
- "When you go to H&M and push those things over, and people want to condemn you – what is that based on? You must not be told by the enemy what is right. H&M now have more black management and models. Thanks to us and what we did. "
- "Whether we use flavoured condoms or eat boneless fish – we get told it's 'against communism'. AmaBhunghane must know we've been here before. No court and no media will silence us."
Gardee's curt reaction over the phone was understandable. There's an argument that the EFF were unfairly targeted. Although they may still have questions to answer regarding other ongoing issues, it seems Thamm's "detective work" is something still frowned upon in this country.

Sophisticated buyers of high-quality villas and villa apartments expect to live in an environment that reflects their own taste and their personal desires. Our goal and mission is to realize your individual ideas, so that you can enjoy your personal domestic culture in your own home. In this section we would like to present some of the villas and villa apartments we already built and show you what we could do for you, too.
Live your personal standard.
Our references
VILLA APARTMENTS IN NYMPHENBURG | New building
At the gates of the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, just a few minutes' walk from the Südliche Auffahrtsallee and the Schlosskanal, we have realized the multi-family villa Edition PR35.
Multifamily villa in Munich-Nymphenburg | New building
We built EDITION M10 in the immediate vicinity of the Castle of Nymphenburg, one of the most privileged and sought-after residential areas in Munich. The high-quality multi-family villa features five residential units and is characterized by an avant-garde design. In addition to generously proportioned living areas with room-high glazing, we realized an intelligent light design inside and outside of the villa apartments, putting a spotlight on the stylish architecture of this new building project.
Edition MK105
Multy family villa in Munich-Bogenhausen, Herzogpark | New building
Villa construction has a long tradition in the elegant quarter "Herzogpark" in Munich-Bogenhausen. From the Prinzregentenzeiteit until today, an impressive variety of representative city villas has been built in this representative area. Our EDITION MK105 sets new standards in traditional villa construction, featuring state-of-the-art technical equipment that has been adapted to the needs of the future residents down to the last detail – from complex BUS systems to energy-saving design fireplaces or luxurious wellness spas.
Single villa in Bogenhausen-Denning | New building
Our EDITION OD15 is a jewel that reflects the elegance and functionality of modern architecture. Following the idea and philosophy of Bauhaus architecture, this individual villa was designed to meet the wishes and requirements of a family with children. One highlight of this property is the elaborately designed glazing on the ground floor, which extends over more than 10 meters spanning over the entire front of the luxurious single-family villa.
Multifamily villa in Munich-Bogenhausen, Herzogpark | New building
Our EDITION PN32, too, was realized in a modern version of the BAUHAUS architecture and tailored to the wishes of the future resident. The 800m² representative single villa has been structured in such a way that it offers space for business receptions and social events in addition to private accommodation. The property presents itself closed to the street to ensure maximum privacy. Due to the high safety requirements, extensive installations for protection against burglary were implemented.
Multifamily villa in Munich-Bogenhausen | New building
In a particularly charming location in Munich-Bogenhausen, we built this modern multi-family residence including four spacious villa apartments and one penthouse. EDITION ON37 was realized in the villa colony Am Priel-Hof, a historic residential district at the banks of the river Isar in Bogenhausen that is characterized by its neighbourhood of stately mansions.
Multi-family villa in Alt-Solln, Munich | New building
Perfect home in a perfect location. The stately area, on which our EDITION AL03 was built, is embedded between spacious gardens and villas in the classy Munich villa district of Alt-Solln. In the midst of this idyll, the spacious loggias, balconies and roof terraces of the high-quality multi-family villa unfold their very special charm.
Multifamily villa in Munich-Solln | New building
Our EDITION AL49 in Munich-Solln, too, is a paradise for nature lovers. The modern new villa has six residential areas with open ground plans, residential areas up to 80m² and more, as well as ceiling-high door and window elements. The spacious terraces and loggias of this property open up towards a park-like garden, offering a marvelous view and maximum privacy in one of the most relaxing locations in Munich.
Multi-family villa in Munich-Waldtrudering | New building
Out EDITION G22 was built in the idyllic suburban quarter Munich-Waldtrudering, being located on the threshold between urban life and nature. The elegant multifamily residence is optimized to offer maximum comfort of living. All four residential units as well as the penthouse feature generously dimensioned and almost threshold-free floor plans. The ecological construction with environmentally friendly materials further adds to the well-being of the future residents.
Multifamily villa in Trudering | New building
Our EDITION SW55 is an example of the functionality and quality of the BAUHAUS architecture in an urban context. The architectural challenge of this project lay in the trapezoidal shape of the building ground: The park-like plot starts out small on street side, opening up on its rear side towards a wide green belt with ancient tree population. To preserve a maximum green area for the future residents, the newly built villa was precisely cut to size and fitted into the area.
EDITION SP14 - Villa 1
Single villas in Obermenzing – Villa 1 | New building
On a very beautiful garden property in Munich-Obermenzing, we built an elegant villa composition featuring two elegant single villas. Our architects tailored both properties of EDITION SP14 to the individual wishes and requirements of our customers as well as to the particular location of the property. Thus Villa 1 was created as a representative living space with bright rooms for artistic activity. The penthouse offers a particularly beautiful and unobstructable view into nature, opening up toward a park-like area and featuring a spacious roof terrace.
More about EDITION SP14 - Villa 1
EDITION SP14 – Villa 2
Single villas in Obermenzing – Villa 2 | New building
Villa two is located in the rear area of the property, being embedded in nature and secluded from the street. VILLA 2 was designed and built to meet the needs of a young family with children. In addition to spacious, open floor plans and individual expansion options, the most important goal was to maximize privacy and quietness.

Far superior to any previous home-video version, the huge deluxe edition of Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii captures over four hours of footage from the King's historic televised concert from January 1973. The main concert is presented in its entirety for the first time since its original worldwide satellite telecast, and reedited to remove the now-dated split-screen "montage" look. But that's not all–as a prelude to the concert, the first disc includes 17 uncut minutes of the "Elvis arrives" footage (only 2 minutes of which appears in the concert film) followed by the complete rehearsal concert that took place two days before the telecast. This rehearsal, which was released separately on video as The Alternate Aloha Concert, is rougher than the official show, but more relaxed and often more satisfying musically.
Leading off disc 2 is footage of five songs ("Blue Hawaii," "Ku-U-I-Po," "No More," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," and "Early Morning Rain"), including multiple takes, recorded after the performance, four of which ("No More" was the exception) were incorporated into the American television special that was shown a few months after the live telecast. Those four songs are not included in the uncut version of the concert on disc 1, but the original version of the American television special is also on disc 2 so you can watch the concert the way you've always watched it for the sake of nostalgia, or you can compare it to all the other pieces you've seen and decide which you like better.

People now are more aware of the hazards of too much sugar intake to their health. It is already widely-documented to be the cause of a number of lifestyle diseases like obesity. Ayurvedic medicine expert and Nirogstreet founder Ramkumar believes that refined white sugar creates toxins and clogging inside the body. He further discussed the healing effects of herbs, and how they help restore sugar damages and beat addictions.
Along with this awareness, different alternatives for sugar have emerged. Unfortunately, these alternatives not only taste unnatural, they also bear side effects. Aspartame and saccharine, two kinds of sugar substitute, have been rumored to cause fatal diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's.
A new sugar substitute called stevia has also emerged and there is much discussion about it.
Stevia is extracted from the leaves of the herb called Stevia Rebaudiana which originally grew in South America. It has three hundred times the sweetness of sugar but does not increase your blood sugar. For thousands of years it has been used by different native South American tribes as food and drink sweetener. Navneet Singh from PURECIRCLE, the leading distributor of stevia, said that National Medicinal Plant Board (NMPB) listed stevia as a priority for cultivation. International food regulating bodies have branded stevias of high-purity as safe for consumption by kids and adults.
How safe is stevia?
According to timesofindia.com, stevia does not have calories, yet it is still regarded on varying levels by countries in the different parts of the world. In the US, it is legal to sell and consume high-purity stevia, but the leaf itself and crude extracts are still forbidden by the Food and Drugs Administration. The European Union also permitted the consumption of stevia in 2011 while the Japanese people have already been using it for several decades.
Stevia is so far the best know sugar substitute, especially for people who suffer from diabetes. But just like any other food, it must still be moderately consumed.
Sandhya Gugnani, a celebrity nutritionist, warns that despite there are benefits we get from Stevia, it is still best to take caution in consuming it as there are still no adequate study of the long-term effect it may bring.

I'm back home in Tennessee! Making all my stops in Indiana made me feel like I was going around the world in 80 days, but I'm so glad I was able to see my friends and family and reconnect and relax!!
Since the Stampin' Up! annual convention is next week and I'm nowhere near ready (I haven't even started my swaps!) Tuesday's tool will be a quick and simple one! Stampin' Dimensionals are one of the many adhesives that Stampin Up offers and of course one of my favorites! I use these for ALMOST all of my projects. They provide that little "lift" that a project needs to give it some life!
What exactly is a Stampin' Dimensional? Stampin Dimensionals are double-sided, self-adhesive foam mounts. These are hexagon shaped but what I love about these is that there is NO WASTE!! Even the border around these little hexagon-shaped foam mounts can be used. Just trim to the length you want and use it just like you would use the Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stampin' Dimensionals are 1/16" in diameter and you get 300 in a package. One tip I like to share about dimensionals is to go ahead and cut those hexagons in half and you can stretch your product even further! I used to think - why bother? There are 300+ in a package and they only cost $3.95 - but since I love them so much I was ordering them all the time. So I decided to give it a try and realized I actually feel like I get better coverage when cutting them up because where I might have used one right in the middle and felt like I could use some extra on the sides, I now have 2 halves on the sides, and I still only used 1 dimensional!!!
Stampin' Dimensionals are the easiest way to give your projects and instant 3-D look. You can even stack them on top of each other if you want additional height! If you haven't tried these - you should! People that try these like these better than what they buy in the stores and come back for more!
I'm not sure if you can tell from this picture, bu I adhered a dimensional on the back of the cupcake tops to make them look more 3-D! If you don't have a demonstrator and would like to try these dimensionals or want more ideas on how to use them in a project, I would love to show you how! I'm committed to providing the best customer service and would be happy to help you with your next project.
DO YOU HAVE A NEW CATALOG? - If you don't already have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and would love to see the new catalog in your hands contact me for a FREE copy!
SPECIAL: $5 STAMP SET - REASON TO SMILE? Spend $50 on your favorite stamping supplies and get the Reason to Smile stamp set for only $5!!! Download the flyer here!
GET $115 FREE PRODUCT! When you have qualifying sales from your workshop or party in June or July of $450 or more you will get an additional $50 hostess credit - on top of the normal $65 plus any item at 50% off!!! When you have party sales of $150+ you can still get the usual hostess credit of $25 or higher - depending on your sales.

Asking for help is nothing to be ashamed of. Especially if you do it the Amanda Palmer-way. It's too bad many people still see it as something you should never ever do.
An artist, a rock star and so free in her beautiful mind, Amanda Palmer talks TED about many things I was looking for when working/living in a mostly narrow-minded environment. She's slowly but surely becoming my idol, because I agree more and more with everything she says!
The real valuable things you can only achieve through the connection you're creating with people. She's so very true!
Whatch the video and get inspired to live/do it your own way. Don't see it as a risk, but as a chance. (Palmer says to see risky actions as trust).

Michele provides massage therapy to non-pregnant and pregnant clients and always welcomes new clients
During our COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place orders, I am not providing massage services.
Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Michele uses a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive and tapping movements. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Shiatsu is a finger-pressure technique utilizing the traditional acupuncture points of Chinese medicine. Similar to acupressure, shiatsu concentrates on unblocking the flow of life energy and restoring balance in the meridians and organs in order to promote self-healing. Michele applies pressure with the finger, thumb, palm, elbow or knee to specific zones on the skin located along the energy meridians. The treatment brings about a sense of relaxation while stimulating blood and lymphatic flow. The benefits of this treatment may include pain relief and a strengthening of the body's resistance to disease and disorder.
Prenatal and Postpartum
Prenatally, specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both pregnant person and fetus. Skilled touch facilitates labor, shortening labor times and easing pain and anxiety. In the postpartum period, prenatal massage helps to rebalance structure, physiology and emotions of the new parent, and may help them to bond with and care for their infant. Michele uses the Body Support System to support the pregnant client during their massage.
Labor Encouragement
For those pregnant people who are post-date or whose care provider is discussing the possibility of induction, Labor Encouragement Massage can be used to try to avoid medical interventions such as pitocin or manual breaking of the amniotic sac. Various labor and birth points on your body will be stimulated using acupressure techniques during the massage. There is no guarantee of labor starting, but you'll feel relaxed and more focused on your upcoming birth. Breathing techniques will be used and encouraged.
Labor Encouragement Fees:
(1) two-hour session – $250
Massage prices:
1 hour massage – $100
1.5 hour massage – $150

In this article I will describe the laser Print -iron method (Toner Transfer method) for the production of printed circuit boards PCB, which I myself have been using for quite some time. This method is described on many sites, but since you can already read on my site right here.
Toner transfer method
Step 1. Draw a board on the computer. You can use specialized programs that automatically produce a wiring board according to the concept. I use Sprint-Layout 6.0 , which is a convenient program.
Step2. From single side PCB cut the future of the printed circuit board. Next, the side on which the conductors will be, needs to be cleaned up, at least with the same null one, but I have been doing this with a regular eraser lately. Then the foiled side must be degreased with acetone.
Step 3. On a laser printer, print out the printed circuit board pattern on glossy tissue paper. I use this kind of paper from the catalog of electronic magazines.
Step 4. After the image is printed, we cut out the contour, remembering to leave the margins approximately the width and height of the board. We stack the sheet with the image up. Prepare strips of paper tape about a centimetre long. Next, lay the board with the foil side onto the paper, precisely positioning it along the contour.
Then firmly pressing the board to the paper, carefully wrap the edges of the paper, fixing them with pre-prepared strips of adhesive tape.
Now we take an ordinary iron, turned on at the maximum temperature, and carefully iron the paper board from the side of the drawing.
Step 5. Then put the board with the sticky paper in hot water of about 50 degrees and wait until the paper is softened.
After the paper swells, it must be carefully separated from the board. The remains of paper roll with your finger under water. We check the dried-up board for possible defects, if in some places the toner is still out, it can be finished with a regular permanent marker.
Step 6. We etch our board in ferric chloride. For the etching process to go quickly, the solution must be heated to 40-50 degrees.
Step 7. We remove the toner with acetone, then we drill holes, cover with rosin varnish, and service the contact pads.

Recently, it was announced that some "amazing" new touch screen technology had been released! Now touch screen can be available on the windows of your local store… yeah… that's what I said… on the window of the store. Now, I'm guessing you're thinking (because this is pretty much what I was thinking anyway…) "why in the world would you need a touch screen on the window of a store?" Well, the claim is you use the touch screen window to make shopping easier, but if you ask me, it's just going to cause congestion, problems, and job losses all over the country.
The idea of touch screen windows at your favorite store sound interesting. I mean, you can browse through the store without actually having to go IN it. But, if you've already come all the to the store, why at this point wouldn't you want to go in? Why just show up to use a touchscreen on the window when you could've just shopped from home if the virtual experience is what you're looking for. These touchscreens can also be placed on empty storefronts or areas where stores cannot fit, so that people can still shop those stores. But again… if you're just going there to use a screen on a window… why wouldn't you just do it from home? Personally if I want to look at a companies website or order online, I'm just going to do it from the comfort of my living room. I go online, or virtual, to order because I don't want to leave my house! If I go out shopping, scanning through inventory in front of everyone walking by is NOT my idea of a good time.
Another worry I have about this "new" technology is that it seems to me that if you ever put one of these screens on a store front in a mall: instant congestion. Have you ever seen those kiosks at the mall where you can try out a video game system? Have you seen the LARGE crowds that gather to watch. Just imagine this at every store you try to walk by…. doesn't seem like a good plan to me. Once people see what's happening, they're going to stop and watch, it's just human nature to be curious. This is just a big disaster waiting to happen at any mall, and you can't tell me malls won't be the first one's using them!
The reason that bothers me most about the whole thing, is it seems to me to be a slippery slope to the loss of jobs at retail stores, and as someone with family working retail, that sounds like a bad plan to me! If you have these touch screens that people can order from, MANY more people will be avoiding the employees of the store and just ordering what they want without "being bothered". These people will no longer be needed, and soon there will be 1 employee inside the store, probably a computer technician in case the system goes down. If companies can save money, they will, and those salaries are money they'd love to save.
Honestly, the idea is very interesting and I totally get the bringing in new technology idea they're going for. However, sometimes new technology doesn't need to happen just because you're feeling bored with current technology. This particular thing isn't really necessary, though very interesting. Maybe someday if there is a good way to use it without hurting companies or their employees, it could be used, but honestly sometimes no news is good news. This is why we built Browz'in, to let you improve the actual screen instead of spending money on a screen thats just for kids to play on when mom is off buying what she wants in others stores!

Every dog has its day.
The same can be said of investment strategies. And one of today's hottest strategies is to invest in companies buying back their shares.
Truth be told, following this strategy is a lot of work. After all, it involves monitoring hundreds of companies – and then investing in each company individually.
But here's the good news…
Today, thanks to the advent of "smart beta" exchange-traded funds (ETFs), you can invest in a systematic and profitable buyback strategy with a click of the mouse.
The Investment Case for Share Buybacks
The idea behind companies buying back their stock is simple.
A company's managers know the best value of their own stock. And if management believes the stock is undervalued, it makes sense to buy back its shares.
By reducing the number of shares outstanding, management increases a company's earnings per share.
Share buybacks are also generally a more tax-efficient way to return capital to shareholders. After all, investors don't need to pay taxes on dividend payments.
When a company launches a share buyback program, it means a couple of things. First, the company has enough cash on its balance sheet to spend money on its own shares. Second, the company cannot put its cash to work more efficiently by investing it elsewhere.
In short, share buybacks are a quick and easy way to increase headline earnings to existing shareholders.
The Buffett "Put"
Dozens of companies have share buyback programs in place.
Perhaps the most famous one is Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B). Warren Buffett and partner Charlie Munger first promised to buy back Berkshire shares anytime they dropped under 1.2X book value.
Today, they've modified that policy to authorize buybacks when they both agree the repurchase price is "below Berkshire's intrinsic value."
That's why I like to think of Berkshire's commitment as a put option. By committing to keep its stock price above a certain level, Berkshire has put a floor under its price.
The Buyback Bonanza
S&P 500 companies are buying back their shares at record rates.
For 2018 as a whole, the S&P 500 companies bought back $806.4 billion in shares. That number has never been higher.
And in Q1 2019, that pace has only accelerated. In the first three months of 2019 alone, many companies have repurchased as much as 40% or more of their full-year total for 2018.
The energy sector alone has repurchased shares equal to 71% of last year's spending.
The cash-rich tech sector accounted for nearly one-third of total buybacks, repurchasing $278.5 billion in shares.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) alone snapped up $74.2 billion worth of shares in 2018. It was followed by Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), which bought back $29.3 billion and $416.3 billion worth of shares, respectively.
The financial ($150 billion) and healthcare ($108.7 billion) sectors also bought back considerable amounts.
So what explains this orgy of buybacks?
Well, first credit the Trump tax reforms.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act encouraged U.S. companies to bring cash back into the U.S. by taxing them at significantly reduced rates.
And how long can the buyback boom last?
American companies currently hold about $4 trillion abroad. Last year, they repatriated only $664.9 billion. So the buyback boom may be only getting started.
How to Profit From the Buyback Boom
The easiest way to profit from this trend is by investing in an ETF focused on a buyback strategy.
My favorite among the handful of ETFs focusing on this strategy?
The Invesco Buyback Achievers ETF (Nasdaq: PKW), which tracks the Nasdaq US Buyback Achievers Index. This index consists of companies that have reduced their outstanding shares by 5% or more in the past 12 months.
The Buyback Achievers ETF ensures that the largest weighting for any company is 5% of the ETF's assets. It rebalances these holdings quarterly in January, April, July and October.
The strategy has strongly outperformed the S&P 500 since the start of the year.
Many of Buyback Achievers' holdings are household names.
Thanks to a combination of cash-rich balance sheets and favorable tax treatment…
Today is the buyback strategy's day in the sun.
Good investing,

Danny Bayne films Home Sweet Homicide
1 May 2019Danny will be playing Peter in Episode 3.
Home Sweet Homicide is an American real crime drama-documentary series. Each episode is a murder mystery that explores a real crime that has taken place within the last twenty years. Enhanced with documentary interviews with the relatives of the victims and police detectives close to the case, we follow the police investigation that leads to them eventually uncovering exactly who committed the crime.
Episodes are brought to life with dramatisations of the victim's life and beat by beat of the gruelling investigation. Augmenting this are real photos and home videos of the victim. These snatches of real media give a haunting look back at someone no longer here and help us understand who they were before the evil crime was committed.

I am using the "NTAG I2C Plus Antenna board" with a "Kinetis Freedom board FRDM-K64F" and I established NFC communication between the tag and my phone. I would like to write a "NDEF Menssager" for the tag using k64f and be able to read the message on the phone later on.
I am currently using the libraries provided by this material: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333498
Would you have any suggestions or library indications that would make it easier to write (NDEF) in the tag through k64f?
If the writing is not possible, how could I control the information that is sent from the tag to the phone? Is there any application that gets SRAM information from the tag?
Beforehand, I sincerely apologize if the question has already been asked in the Community section, I couldn't find anything similar. I would really appreciate if you could reply as soon as possible.
Many Thanks,
André Aleixo.

By: Daniel Bergerson
People bring their fights to the community center because they can count on the social workers there. Sahra was fighting to keep her three-bedroom apartment after a Section 8 reform forced her family into one bedroom so that her 70-year-old mother with dementia would not keep her teenage son awake at night. Mohamed was fighting to get his money back from a towing company that targets Somali refugees who are unaware of their parking rights and charges them for made up violations. Abdirahim was fighting his eviction after police found his sister-in-law's khat, a drug legal across East Africa but illegal in the United States, in his apartment. (It didn't matter that he was the one who reported its presence in the first place.)
We often talk about teachers as social workers, but two summers ago I learned the difference between the two because I actually worked as both. In the mornings, I assisted a math teacher at Lincoln International High School, a charter school for recent immigrants and refugees. In the afternoons, I assisted a Somali social worker at the Brian Coyle Community Center, hub of Somali-American politics and programs in Minnesota. While the teaching was part social work, I found the social workers could better contextualize students' academic struggles within community-wide struggles.
Take discrimination, for example. The fact that xenophobia pervades Minnesota was no secret to my students from Somalia, Iraq, and Mexico. They often swapped stories in hushed tones when the lead teacher turned his back on the class to write on the whiteboard. I heard of a high school brawl allegedly sparked by ongoing tension between Somali students and their Black peers. I heard of racism on social media and Somali-led student walkouts. I heard that some kids tried to drown a Somali boy in the playground pool outside the community center.
Inside the community center, however, I heard much more. Working with social workers and their clients sharpened my fuzzy view of the ways in which the Somali community battles against discrimination in Minnesota.
"I work twenty hours a day for my children." That was the first sentence I typed as Yusuf dictated to me his application to an advocacy program for parents of children with developmental disabilities. He continued to explain how frustrating it was to bring his ill, eighteen-year-old autistic son kicking and screaming into a clinic only to be told that doctors cannot reach a diagnosis because they are not willing to restrain him after sitting in the waiting room for three hours. Jama routinely endures these futile visits to doctors, who are said to go "the whole nine yards" (including the use of restraint) to diagnose the illnesses of white autistic children. Community-based researchers attribute this difference in professional practice to discrimination against Somali immigrants.
Following these afternoon consultations, I would often think back to that morning. Was one of Jama's other nine children in my class? If so, would the lead teacher know about the father's twenty-hour work days? Other Somali parents of multiple autistic children referred to their life as a "24-hour trauma" because they are too busy caring for their family to keep a paying job, visit other relatives, or take care of themselves. How do they feel when teachers ask them be more active at school?
Sometimes this domestic stress surfaces in classroom conversation. Someone leans over to a friend and whispers, "My mom's gonna chew me for losing the water bill," and they laugh rebelliously. There are offhand comments of "Somali-style" punishments involving thrown shoes and long time-outs spent facing the wall, hands up, standing tiptoe. One hijabi complains that she has to remove her nose piercing, another about how her parents say she must marry within her tribe.
Sometimes students share their stories, but so many don't. Are us teachers ever able to see the full picture? Social workers at least get the parent's side of the story, which can shed light on what youth deal with.
The preservice teacher in me could not stop thinking of what the stories of Sahra, Mohamed, and Abdirahim mean for the youth in the community. Is this why some students snooze off during geometry? Why last week's smile disappears over the weekend? Why some don't trust white teachers?
We don't always know the root of students' problems, so we snip at the individual branches. It's easy to jump to conclusions about kids' "bad choices" or students not "applying" themselves, but that runs the risk of blaming the victim, all the while ignoring the underlying reasons. Socials workers don't always see the full picture either, but the family workshops, personal interviews and letter writing start to fill it in, piece by piece.
I was constantly reminded I lack this comprehensive understanding when the social workers conducted house visits, leaving me to staff the office on my own. Clients would poke their head through the door, eye the empty cubicles and ask, "Where are the Somali people?" They would leave before I could say, "Back soon, but how can I help?" It takes serious study, dialogue, and reflection for a young, white, atheist man from a wealthy Minnesotan family to understand the struggle of a Somali refugee mother. Of course clients feel safer and more comfortable turning to someone closer to their own experience.
That summer in Lincoln International High School and the Brian Coyle Community Center left me with many questions, some of them pedagogical, others more sociological. Do charter schools make refugee students spend so much time on Khan Academy in hopes of teaching independent learning skills before they age out of the system? Or was that an executive decision to cut costs? When a student says, "America doesn't have any culture," should the class discuss multiculturalism or continue learning left from right? Finally, why did we drop a math lesson for a classroom viewing of the United States vs. Germany in the World Cup? Was it…
(a) responsive to students' interest in soccer,
(b) a shameless attempt to instill patriotism,
(c) a respite for a tired teacher or
(d) all of the above?
Can a question phrased like a multiple-choice quiz even lead to meaningful answers?
Between my work at the charter school and the community center I would take a lunch break. As I ate veggie samosas, I would file away my graph paper, open my client notebook, and remember all the educators who told me teaching is like social work. Sure, teaching is like social work, but there is an important difference. As teachers, we, too, are mandated reporters of child abuse. We, too, are trained in violence prevention. But amid the lesson planning and high-stakes testing and whatever reformers throw at teachers next, can we too take the time to find out what social workers know about our students' families?
This fall I am full-time student teaching. That means no more community center every afternoon. That means less face-time with families, less context for students' academic struggles. I have to do what I can, despite not being paid for such social work (or student teaching, for that matter), because you can't teach someone you don't understand.

One of the latest things people have heard about is Node JS, actually when you develop on any cloud platform available, you will certainly hear about it and you may think of using it. So first of all what is Node JS and what can it do more to help you building your application? We all know that JS stands for JavaScript and for the Node, it means the server side. Yes JavaScript on the server side. The Node JS main target is to help you build very high scalable applications over the network… bla bla bla. How is that?
Let's imagine that you get a number of X of requests on your web application, each one of these requests consume a certain amount of memory, so your hardware resources will only be able to handle the number of memory divided by X, which is somehow limited and costs a lot. (I got this example from this link from ibm developers works). Node JS allows you to execute the coming request with more parallelism using the JavaScript
Event-Driven programming language. In this post we will talk about the same thing but for the server side.
Node is a server-side JS interpreter, it changes all how the server works processing and working with the coming request. Node.JS is a based on V8 JavaScript engine, ultra-fast engine, you can download it, read its documentation and embedded into any of your application from this link.
Now let's go into the example, first of all after the new features added for Windows Azure for June 2012, we will need to sign in to the portal, create new website and setting its URL and its GIT, you can download and install the Node.JS tools and GIT from these 2 links. Let's start by opening the Windows Azure PowerShell, and don't forget to run it as administrator. The coming few instructions will help you building your web application, just write the written commands in your PowerShell Command lines.
After creating the directory, you can now create the windows azure application. But first don't forget to change directory to the directory created.
If you opened the directory you made and where you created the azure service, you will find the following:
So let's create the new WebRole for our application.
If you didn't name the WebRole it will be named webrole1. You can also see the folder created and the files added just by navigating to the browser, you must see the following in the folder named mywebrole.
You can open, modify the server.js by simply entering the following command, you will be able to see the server.js in the notepad as the following picture shows.
Let's run and see our application result
The result should be like the following picture:
To modify the application or add new pages you can add new JavaScript or modify the server.js already created.
Now let's upload to our azure accounts, supposing you have download the Git, created a new website and set the Git Publishing credentials. To do so, after creating a website application on the Windows Azure Portal you will find a link called set Git Publishing on the right most of the window, after clicking on this link:
Now depending on what you have chosen during the installation, I mean I have chosen the Git Bash, you may have gave it the permission so you can access it through the PowerShell. In both ways, you will choose the same commands.
Make sure you are in the right directory and start initializing GIT by the following commands
Now continue and enter the following command to make the connection and the deployment of the application to the portal.
You can get this URL from your portal from:
The last command line is
Now if you simply go to the link of your application you will find the hello world we create J

Sea & Sea DX-1G Camera Update
August 15, 2007
DPReview has a review of the Ricoh Caplio GX100 which is the Sea & Sea branded camera inside the announced DX-1G underwater system. There are no big surprises in the review for someone, like myself, considering the DX-1G. It takes 5.5 seconds between shots if you are shooting RAW but JPG is snappy. There is no Flash preset for the whitebalance which is a bit odd and will impact underwater macro shots taken with a strobe. Noise is high above at ISO 400 and above which is the price you pay for live LCD preview and tiny size compared to a digital SLR but it is a non-issue for strobe shots. Low-light autofocus is slow which means the Sea & Sea YS-110 Strobe with LED modelling light will be very popular with this camera. I replaced my old YS-120 strobe with a YS-110 so I should do a mini-review of the new strobe some time.
Like all underwater camera systems, flash/strobe performance is always a question. DPReview mentioned that the flash hotshoe is not live, that is, the hotshoe does not fire a regular attached flash. This means the communication between the Sea & Sea "flash-like strobe triggering accessory" and the camera occurs over the same type of connection the external viewfinder uses. The protocol must be something proprietary to Ricoh. Is this protocol pre-flash based? Will the default in Aperture mode be slow-sync and will there be a way to turn slow-sync on and off? I dunno. I hope it works flawlessly though :-)

There are many perks of being a part of The Circus. Or staying with us for that matter! If you know us already you know about our special Behind The Curtain tours. We have a lot of cool stuff all year round, but you know once summer hits – everything gets so much better!
This year, like the last and the one before that, no matter which house you stay in (Hostel, Hotel or Apartments), you can enjoy the summer The Circus way. Whether you're enjoying a cold drink on our Hotel rooftop Honesty Bar, having your morning coffee in the inner yard of Commonground or The Circus Café patio, summer at The Circus is easy. But what about the outside world? When the sun is out all you want to do is go out and enjoy it. And what better way to do that than trying to get as close to it as you possibly can?
Yes, we're talking flying!
If you ever had the chance to stay with us and meet our team, you might have noticed that we are quite an eclectic crowd. Talents run high at The Circus, and if you get to meet our staff you'll find that half of our bar staff are DJs, the hotel manager knows more about ice cream than is good for her health and we have more than two photographers running around the Hostel.
But the absolute best is hidden upstairs in the office – one of the actual owners of The Circus has the coolest hobby you can think of – flying! You and I might spend our free time exploring the city on a bike, going to see one of Berlin's famous lakes, or climbing on top of the Victory Tower for a view of Tiergarten. Well, Tilman does all of that too, but from 2500km above!
Once or twice a year, a few of our guests have the amazing opportunity to join Tilman and see Berlin from the most unique perspective imaginable. Yesterday was one of those days. So we grabbed the camera and hopped on board to give you an insider peak into the cutest little plain and the most spectacular views of Berlin you can imagine.
Curious to see what we captured? Say hi to the plane first. Isn't it adorable?
The route covered every corner of the city, including a short tour of beautiful Potsdam and the vast planes of Brandenburg. Our favorites are, of course, the beautiful strip of the Spree that stretches from Alexanderplatz through Oberbaumbrücke and all the way to Neukölln. Just look at that!
Then there's the Olympia stadium, which you might know form another one of our popular Behind The Curtain tours. It's as pompous from the air as it is from the ground, but way cooler to look at with the radio control comms with the control towers of Tegel in the background!
But the best highlight is undoubtedly Tiergarten. Doesn't it look like Berlin's version of Central Park?
There's hundreds of views we could go on about for days, but the bottom line (in case you haven't noticed by now) is that we love Berlin! Whichever corner you see it from, whether on foot, bike, boat or plane, exploring this city really never gets old! You may have missed this one, but we have loads of tours just as amazing and fun waiting for you to join!
Reserved for our guests only and carefully combined to show you Berlin as we see it, Behind The Curtain is a collection of tours you will not (repeat: will not) find anywhere else.
So book that ticket and join us while the sun is hot and the beer is cold, we're waiting for you!

Public administration reform, fighting corruption key to people's confidence in gov't – EaP Summit Declaration
Eastern Partnership Summit participants have stated in the Declaration signed off on Friday, November 24, that people's confidence in their governments could be restored through public administration reform and by tackling corruption, an UNIAN correspondent in Brussels reported.
"The Summit participants stress that good governance at all levels is key to people's confidence in their governments. Implementation of reforms in public administration and the judiciary, as well as the fight against corruption are at the basis of all other policies in this regard and essential for strengthening resilience," reads the Declaration.
Participants have also agreed that fostering human security, which also depends on the development of effective, accountable, transparent and democratic institutions, will reduce societal vulnerabilities.

- "Last week a new type of war came out of nowhere, and rocked the very fabric of society. When the cruise missiles were gingerly lifted from their silos in Berkshire, we figured the world would be a safer place. But we were reckoning without Robot Wars! World Leaders are in a blind panic. Last week it was reported that Tony Blair stopped grinning for five minutes, Alexander Haig has flown to Buenos Aires, but that's probably a bit silly, because the fighting is confined to Britain."

Heat B of Robot Wars: The First Wars was the second of six heats which determined the Grand Finalists of Robot Wars: The First Wars. The episode featuring Heat B was originally broadcast on February 27, 1998 on BBC Two.

Leighbot crept out of the turntable and aimed for the middle and the ramps. After coming at at a bad angle, Leighbot adjusted and started to drive up the ramp. Sergeant Bash flicked flames towards Leighbot, and drove under the ramp, holding it up. The House Robot reversed, allowing the ramp to fall, and Leighbot moved forwards, only to be held back by Sergeant Bash as it fired its flamethrower again. Leighbot turned around Sergeant Bash and up the second ramp, where the path was blocked by smoke. Leighbot pushed the fan forwards and turned it on, clearing the smoke as Leighbot drove through, taking a hit from the pendulum and barging past Matilda to complete the Gauntlet.
Scrapper exited the turntable and turned on the spot trying to choose a route to go down. Scrapper tried twice to go up the ramp, but fell off both times. With Shunt blocking the left route, Scrapper reversed down the maze on the right route. After turning in too early for the first corner, Scrapper eventually bumped its way around the fences, but were cornered by Shunt and Sergeant Bash, where they finished halfway through the maze.
- "He's into the sheep's pen. This could be lambs to the slaughter, because Bash and Shunt are closing in! And it could be roast lamb at that! If the torch comes out - and it does! Lamb kebab!"
- — Jonathan Pearce
Recyclopse whizzed out of the turntable, but into a block between routes. As Shunt moved in, Recyclopse dodged past the House Robot to take the left route, smashing through the skittles, where it was trapped by Shunt and Sergeant Bash. Recyclopse opened the tongue flipper and pushed past Sergeant Bash, driving away and slamming Matilda out the way to complete the course.
- Jeremy Clarkson: "Well you were confident before you started, now you must be feeling even better."
- Rex Garrod: "Not really, I wanted one of them to go over."
- Jeremy Clarkson: "You wanted one of our House Robots over?"
- Rex Garrod: "Well certainly that's the game, isn't it?"
- Jeremy Clarkson: "It's a game, but it's also impossible!"
- — The post-Gauntlet interview
Detonator moved away from the centre of the turntable, but one of its spikes got caught on the side as it turned into the robot. The front castor wheel on Detonator was facing right, and jammed in place, stopping itself from moving away.
- "Poor old David looks about 74...75...76. He's a Star Trek fan. Beam him up, Scotty."
- — Jonathan Pearce, as David Crosby grows more agitated at Detonator's predicament
Shunt and Sergeant Bash moved in to help free Detonator. Shunt pushed Detonator back, where it was caught on the railings, but another hit freed Detonator, where the team started frantically driving it away. Detonator drove down the right course and into the wall, but were eventually credited with 7m.
Mortis shoved straight past Shunt into the left route, bashing down the skittles, but getting wedged in the railings. Mortis escaped and drove at Sergeant Bash, pushing it aside, but spinning Mortis around. Sergeant Bash held Mortis in place, blocking the way to the end zone as Shunt joined in the melee, axing Mortis and dragging it backwards. Matilda then moved in to pin Mortis is place, and Sergeant Bash flicked flames towards Mortis until time ended.
- "We're not going to let you go anywhere- we don't have to!"
- — Jonathan Pearce speaking on behalf of Sergeant Bash
Uglybot drove out of the turntable, but due to its large shape, it got a corner stuck in the railings. Shunt drove in, lifting Uglybot up with its wedge and getting under it. Shunt kept shoving Uglybot into the back wall, stopping it moving away. Uglybot drove back towards the turntable, where it was pushed by Shunt as the run ended.
Trial (British Bulldog)Edit
Mortis moved into the middle of the arena, while Scrapper and Leighbot headed to the right. Recyclopse drove left and Detonator stayed still as the trial started. Mortis ducked between the spikes and Sergeant Bash and dashed to the end zone.
- "What a run through by Mortis!...that was stunning!"
- — Jonathan Pearce
Scrapper and Leighbot touched each other, but separated, as in the other corner, Recyclopse was being harassed by Matilda. Having already confirmed their place through, Mortis went back into the arena and started pushing Matilda around. Scrapper reversed its way through the spikes, around Matilda and across the arena into the end zone.
- "Now Scrapper, making its move - strangely backwards - but it's through backwards! Strange, but through nonetheless."
- — Jonathan Pearce
Leighbot was being held back by Shunt and Dead Metal while Matilda kept Recyclopse back. Leighbot escaped Shunt's grasp and drove itself towards the end zone as well. Mortis then pushed Matilda back towards the non-moving Recyclopse, which had its flipper out. Recyclopse flipped Matilda over, much to the joy to all the roboteers watching in the pits.
With Detonator not moving and Recyclopse having made it halfway across the arena, Matilda's vanquisher was allowed through as Detonator were eliminated.
- "You! You! You hurt one of my pets!"
- — Jeremy Clarkson to Rex Garrod
It was later revealed that Detonator's batteries had failed, which had gone unnoticed over the din of its petrol engine.
Recyclopse vs ScrapperEdit
Recyclopse moved towards Scrapper as it made a wobbly move across the arena. Scrapper attempted to attack with its saws, but it turned away, missing the front of Recyclopse as Rex Garrod's machine backed into Dead Metal. Scrapper turned on the spot in front of Recyclopse, which drove forwards and flipped Scrapper over by ramming it. On its side and beached, Scrapper were eliminated.
- "You stick your tongue out at me and I'll wink at you! Very nice, indeed, as the two robots come together. Manoeuvring for position at the moment. Don't go broadside- Oh, no, no, no, you shouldn't have done that! Broadside and the tongue came out."
- — Jonathan Pearce's entire commentary in the fight.
Winner: Recyclopse
Mortis vs LeighbotEdit
Leighbot evaded Mortis's original attack as the two robots turned away from each other. Leighbot managed to get the front facing Mortis and tried to fire their spike into the opponent, but the front end was lifted up and so it missed. Mortis, backed up against the wall, started firing the axe, slamming it into the top of Leighbot.
- "It's not very much of a weapon, is it, really? Oh, and that is! Look at that Japanese blade! Thrusting down! Leighbot - pepper-pot! You could pour pepper through that Leighbot machine now! Look at the holes!"
- — Jonathan Pearce
Mortis pushed Leighbot back, bending the armour and weapon of Leighbot. Mortis split away and drove across the arena, turning around to land more blows on Leighbot, but reversed into Matilda's CPZ. Mortis slammed into Leighbot, lifting it up with the wedge as they drove to the side-railings.
- "Could he flip it over? If he does, it's all over! And it is all over!"
- — Jonathan Pearce as Mortis turns Leighbot over.
Mortis reversed having propped Leighbot behind, and tipped it over, securing their place in the Heat Final.
- Jeremy Clarkson: "You just made it all look so easy."
- Rob Knight: "Do you reckon? The axe should have gone through the armour, I'm quite surprised. It's tougher than it looks."
- — Post-battle interview
Winner: Mortis
Mortis vs RecyclopseEdit
Before the battle, Mortis discovered damage to their mainshaft, which stopped the axe being a viable weapon. To combat this, the team added a ramming blade to the front.
- "We don't know how successful it's going to be. I guess it's just a case of suck it and see."
- — Arthur Chilcott
Mortis drove forwards but turned broadside halfway across the arena. Recyclopse chased Mortis about for a bit, trying to get the flipper under Mortis. Mortis reversed across the arena, hitting Recyclopse with the rear spike.
Mortis crossed the arena towards Matilda's CPZ as Recyclopse chased. Matilda started pushing Recyclopse from the side and Mortis tried to escape through the empty CPZ, but got caught on the spike trap. Matilda used the opportunity to cut Mortis with the chainsaw and Recyclopse tried to flip Mortis as well, but the floor spikes prevented it from positioning the tongue flipper properly.
- "And that is poor driving, and that is poor steering. And that will count against the boys from Cambridge."
- — Jonathan Pearce
Once free, Mortis drove at Recyclopse and got under the robot, lifting it up on top of Mortis, but Recyclopse's round base helped it drop back down. Recyclopse pushed back when freed, and tried another flip, but it veered off-target with its tongue, then Mortis had got under and pushed Recyclopse into the corner. Recyclopse was trapped on top of Mortis, which was beached on the rails. Shunt pushed Mortis further onto the rails, and axed it seconds before cease was called.
- "They're not working - we're working. We pushed them out, we had all the attacks, and we think we should've won."
- — Chris Sorsby
The judges eventually declared Recyclopse as the winner.
- "We could not really see a way to decide and kept asking for it to be a draw. But, in those days draws were not allowed and so we were forced to make a decision with a very aggressive crowd screaming in our ears and pushing us into the barriers. We decided on Recyclopse but none of us felt good about it."
- — Noel Sharkey
Heat Winner: Recyclopse
Trivia Edit
- Recyclopse débuted the forward-hinged flipper into robot combat. This was used to great effect by Recyclopse, as it managed to flip Matilda in the Trial; the first successful attack on a House Robot.
- The battle between Recyclopse and Scrapper set the original Shortest Battle Record at fifteen seconds. It is currently ranked equal 6th.
- The heat final between Mortis and Recyclopse is one of the most notable battles of Series 1 - It marked the first judges' decision in Robot Wars; Mortis lost the decision, and the team vehemently opposed the decision.
- This heat featured four teams that would reach the semi-finals of Series 2.

Dr. Dawn Davis, author of "Mom As You Are," rants about the "bust through" approach to yoga and shares her thoughts on self-care and the method she created called M-I-N-D-F-U-L.
The biggest takeaways from this episode:
Hey friend,
Welcome to the Style With Intention podcast.
I'm so excited to share my conversation with my brilliant, accomplished friend, Dr. Dawn Davis. She's got such a down-to-earth approach and her practice is based in kindness and allowing the feelings we are feeling – and today she rants a bit about the way our society has twisted yoga into a weapon to be used to "bust through" whatever we are feeling.
Instead, she gives us her M-I-N-D-F-U-L steps to feel better. My favorite part is how she described feeling our feet grounded into the earth. Each step of her practice is one more way to be kind to ourselves and most effectively rest and recover.
You can get Dawn's new book, "Mom As You Are" by clicking HERE.
If you'd like to attend one of Dawn's yoga classes, you can find out more about them HERE.
As always, my goal is to make it quicker and easier for you to access more ease, joy, and intention in your life…because happy looks really, really good!
It's so important for us to understand our own strengths!
I made this tool to help you identify and understand your hidden superpower!
