In meetings and conversation with other A.A. members I'm hearing the phrase, "it is what it is," almost as often as our Preamble. Expressions in which the same thing is said twice in different words are called a tautology. For instance, "If it's meant to be, it will be," or the ubiquitous YOLO (you only live once) or since I'm writing this post in late August from Liguria in Italy, "The hot sun was scorching."
Regardless if hearing these sayings makes you cringe or compare, they are usually no more than an annoyance. But the tautology, "it is what it is," is often thrown down as an excuse. We tried to get our home group or intergroup excited to do 12 Step outreach and they ignored us. We encouraged a newcomer to get a sponsor and work the steps, but s/he panned our suggestions. We asked fellows for health care professional (HCP) referrals who could be contacted with the message local A.A. groups are an ideal support community for problem drinking patients, but received only a handful.
The basic implication behind these words is that we are unable to change circumstances. At a recent CER Assembly, a Delegate explained that since Conference had previously rejected endorsing the "Meeting Finder" app for A.A. Great Britain, it required waiting at least a year or more before submitting the same proposal. Incredulous looks from some attendees that something as basic and useful (and cost-free) as a universal app to find an A.A. meeting would need not months – but years! before Conference would consider it again, elicited explanations, "hey, it's the process," and "it is what it is." So the Chair moved on to the next agenda item. Discussion done and dusted by toxic tautology.
What is concerning about this is when results fall short or an outcome doesn't meet reasonable expectations, we are all too ready to exonerate ourselves of the burden of learning why something is what it is – why did the results not meet goals? What could have been done differently with a little more thought and effort?
As those who follow my health related posts here know, last month's article made a strong appeal for anyone in the 700+ groups of CER to follow the lead of Basel, Geneva and Zurich fellowships and organize an outreach working group (OWG). Here is the final paragraph, subtitled Give Freely:
I or newly organized OWG members, can show you, or your group, how to quickly and easily start HCP outreach in your local community—regardless if you've never done PI or any service outside your group before. There's no minimum sobriety required—just willingness to pass along what was freely given to all of us.
How many responses did I receive from anyone reading these posts and my direct appeal for a minimal effort?
So should I leave it at that because apparently everybody's too busy to do more service – or there is no interest in doing outreach to local HCP in your area and write it off as "it is what it is."
No – and here's my personal reason why. As I described in another ArenA post, earlier this year I received an email to my HLO inbox. The mail described an alcoholic death of despair, this one a young woman who drank herself to death in a Geneva hotel room. Despite multiple 12 Step calls from A.A., despite two trips to hospital ER and pleas to a psychiatric detox facility – she died alone – drunk.
Ought we take solace that in this alcoholic's case, "it is what it is?" I hope you too can answer NO. Because the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, "Every day, 800 people in Europe die from alcohol-attributable causes. Most worryingly, a relatively high proportion of alcohol harm occurs early in the life-course, with one in every four deaths among young adults (aged 20–24) being caused by alcohol."
I will be attending the next CER Assembly meeting (online) 03 Sept 2022 and ask every IG rep to mention in their report (written or verbal) "How are you (or your IG/Group) reaching out to local professionals?" or are you satisfied reporting, "it is what it is."
Comments as always are always welcome. My email is email@example.com.

Karoon Energy (ASX:KAR) pulls back 9.1% this week, but still delivers shareholders decent 8.6% CAGR over 5 years
It hasn't been the best quarter for Karoon Energy Ltd (ASX:KAR) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 15% in that time. On the bright side the share price is up over the last half decade. Unfortunately its return of 39% is below the market return of 54%.
While this past week has detracted from the company's five-year return, let's look at the recent trends of the underlying business and see if the gains have been in alignment.
See our latest analysis for Karoon Energy
Given that Karoon Energy didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
For the last half decade, Karoon Energy can boast revenue growth at a rate of 95% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. It's good to see that the stock has 7%, but not entirely surprising given revenue shows strong growth. If you think there could be more growth to come, now might be the time to take a close look at Karoon Energy. Opportunity lies where the market hasn't fully priced growth in the underlying business.
The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).
Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time.
What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We'd be remiss not to mention the difference between Karoon Energy's total shareholder return (TSR) and its share price return. The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Karoon Energy hasn't been paying dividends, but its TSR of 51% exceeds its share price return of 39%, implying it has either spun-off a business, or raised capital at a discount; thereby providing additional value to shareholders.
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Karoon Energy has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 37% in the last twelve months. That's better than the annualised return of 9% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. Before spending more time on Karoon Energy it might be wise to click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling shares.

City Council Adopts Resolutions Today – Backs Firefighters
May 5, 2022 – Brother and Sister Firefighters,
The Austin City Council sided with the firefighters and citizens today by adopting a resolution requiring the City Manager to abide by the City Charter and participate in binding arbitration, if requested.
This is a day to celebrate!! Had it not been for this Council action, we likely would have suffered the same 4-5 year legal battle that our Houston Brothers and Sisters are experiencing today.
Now that the City Managers misguided effort has been squashed, we can get back to the business of good faith negotiations, which will start on May 16th.
A heart felt thank you for the support you showed your AFA EBoard during this difficult time.
Here is today's article from the Austin Chronicle on this issue: https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2022-05-06/city-council-helps-firefighters-keep-arbitration-on-the-table/

Which Ivy League school is the cheapest?Asked by: Wiley Marks | Last update: April 30, 2022
Score: 4.3/5 (35 votes)
The cheapest Ivy League school is Princeton University, with a $50,340 yearly tuition, and a net price (the average price students actually pay) of $16,192.
What is the least prestigious Ivy League school?
The least prestigious Ivy League degree is any terminal MA degree. The vast majority of these are offered at Columbia. Penn has similar degrees but fewer of them. Harvard has MA degrees in regional studies.
Which Ivy League school is the most expensive?
In the academic year of 2021/2022, tuition at Columbia University cost 58,440 U.S. dollars, and room and board amounted to 26,010 U.S. dollars, making it the most expensive school in the Ivy League. Yale University followed closely behind, with a tuition of 59,950 U.S. dollars and room and board of 17,800 U.S. dollars.
Which Ivy League is the easiest to get into?
Based on the information provided above, you probably noticed that Cornell University has the highest acceptance rates out of all the Ivy League schools and can therefore be classified as the easiest Ivy league school to get into.
Is Harvard FREE?
Harvard University Tuition FREE!!!
The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!
Everything You Need to Know About Ivy League Schools
Can an Indian get into Ivy League?
Though the percentage of students applying to US colleges has seen an upward trend, the acceptance rate of Indian students in Ivy League universities has been relatively low. Harvard accepted just 3 per cent, whereas, in Columbia, the acceptance rate was just 4 per cent.
Which Ivy is hardest to get into?
Harvard University
It has always been known as the hardest Ivy League school to get into. For 2020, it has an acceptance rate of 5.2% only. You will surely have to impress its admissions officers in a grand way if you want to spend your college years there.
What is the hardest Ivy?
In 2021, Columbia edged past Princeton and Harvard to become the most competitive Ivy. While all four schools reported overall acceptance rates below 5%, with a 3.9% acceptance rate, Columbia is now the hardest Ivy League school to get into.
What is a good GPA for Ivy League?
Admission depends on your overall profile as a candidate not just by a number. Most Ivy League schools expect an average GPA of 4.0 or higher. However, some colleges also accept GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0. These may not be precise values, but they at least give you a brief idea of the average GPA requirement.
Why is Princeton so cheap?
The University's robust financial aid packages are built on grants rather than loans, which allow students to graduate debt free. This makes a Princeton education affordable for any student who is admitted to the University.
Can I afford ivy?
Well, that means that most likely, you can actually afford Ivy League colleges! Despite their high sticker price, most Ivy Leagues offer generous financial aid packages. In other words, most of the cost is covered.
What GPA is required for Harvard?
To have the best shot of getting in, you should aim for the 75th percentile, with a 1580 SAT or a 35 ACT. You should also have a 4.18 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score.
What is the happiest Ivy League?
Campus happiness: Brown is widely known as the happiest Ivy, perhaps because of students' freedom to choose courses with almost complete autonomy.
Is Dartmouth or Brown better?
Brown is generally ranked higher than Dartmouth in most metrics and rankings. Brown has a very impressive and expanding engineering and computer science schools . It is also in a much better location.
Is Columbia or Upenn more prestigious?
Columbia is ranked higher in architecture, engineering and law with Penn on its heels. Both have graduated US Presidents and other heads of states. However are drastic dichotomies that each holds. Columbia's location in NYC lends greatly to its prestige whereas Penn has more UG billionaires than any other schools.
Which Ivy has the heaviest workload?
Definitely Columbia. Columbia requires the most courses and the most credits to graduate with minimal grade inflation. Most students at Columbia must take 5–6 classes per semester to graduate while most of the other Ivies it is only four. Columbia requires 42 classes (44 for engineering) to graduate.
Which Ivy has best campus?
Harvard was the clear winner in our rankings, taking the top spot in half of our categories — Affordability, Campus, and Job Prospects — and never placing out of the top three. Boston is a great city to attend college, and Harvard's historic and picturesque campus makes it all the better.
What is the easiest University to get into?

Castellan brings every aspect of resilience management – from readiness to response – together in one place, so you can stop hoping and start knowing.
Now you're ready.TM
Castellan Solutions
Both the definition of "business continuity" and the industry as a whole are evolving. While this has well been the case for the last several years, it's certainly ever-more true in our post-pandemic world.
As we reflect on lessons learned from our pandemic and multi-event response protocols, we can find many opportunities to improve business continuity practices to further solidify resilience. And among the many areas of change in the past year is an increased focus on cybersecurity awareness—cyber resilience—and the role it plays in business continuity.
At last, organizations are clueing in to the importance of congruence between cross-functional teams and processes, emphasizing cybersecurity for operational resilience is more than what you do if your systems go down as the result of another disruption or when you have short-term or small-scale data loss. Cyber resilience is part of a much bigger picture and as such is evolving as a critical component of business continuity.
Cyber resilience goes beyond cybersecurity controls and best practices. It's the "how" your organization manages day-to-day operations to decrease the effects of a cyber event on your ability to do business.
Think of cyber resilience as a change in thought and practice, moving from the old approach to cybersecurity—what happens if your organization has a cyber event, to what your organization will do when an incident happens.
While there are nuances between cyber resilience and cybersecurity, they're not one in the same.
Here's a simple way to look at their differences. Think of cybersecurity as all of the controls, policies, and procedures your organization has in place as a defense mechanism against cyber events. These cyber practices are definitely an important and long-standing part of many business continuity programs.
But, as we've seen with an increase in cyber events, specifically the increased number of ransomware attacks and phishing schemes since the start of the coronavirus outbreak back in 2020, we're learning that even effective cybersecurity programs can't stop all attacks. For organizations of all sizes, that "when" for cyber events has become ever more prevalent.
RiskBased Security's 2020 Year End Report Data Breach QuickView points to almost 700 publicly reported breaches that included ransomware as an attack vector. That's a 100% increase compared to 2019.
And not only are there more ransomware breaches, breach severity of all cyber breach types is increasing. Successful cyber breaches are also exposing unprecedented numbers of records. In the report, five of the top breaches resulted in exposures of 1 billion or more records, with another almost 20 resulting in exposures of between 100 million and 1 billion.
While a few months of 2021 remain, we're seeing ransomware attackers didn't relent this year. Sophos' The State of Ransomware 2021 report estimates almost 40% of respondents had been affected by ransomware in the past year. Of those successful attacks, more than half resulted in attackers' successful encryption of data. In 2020, more than half of respondents said they'd been hit by ransomware.
The grim picture doesn't stop there. Not only are organizations encountering successful ransomware attacks—with increased severity and more record exposures—they're also costing more. The Sophos report cites the average ransom paid by mid-sized organizations is more than $170,000, which doesn't include related response and recovery costs or account for potential fines or penalties for compliance, legal, or regulatory issues.
So, if there is a bright side to be found amongst the challenges and tragedies of the pandemic, it may be in increased awareness for organizations of all sizes about how to prepare for, mitigate, manage, and respond to increased risks such as cybercrime, ultimately leading to more mature business continuity programs and operational resilience success.
If your organization is just beginning to implement cyber resilience best practices or you're ready to mature the cyber components of your existing business continuity program, you may have a few questions about how you can do so effectively. Here are a few tips.
First, consider developing a cyber resilience plan similar to what you would do for, let's say, disaster response. While there are cyber components you'll likely weave into all of your plans, you may find it beneficial to manage your comprehensive processes in its own plan.
For true cyber resilience, incorporate at least these four core components in your planning: anticipation (your environment and real-world attacks), vulnerability identification (critical systems, operations, and related weaknesses and security issues), response planning (what you'll do if you experience an attack), and resilience (your return to normal as soon as possible).
When planning, remember these core actions:
In addition to those core elements, your cyber resilience plans should take into consideration:
When we talk about the evolution of cybersecurity into a culture of cyber resilience, it's worth noting the varied and many benefits it can bring to your business continuity program.
Decrease Event Impact
A single cyber event can have far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on your organization. Even a small-scale event can disrupt your operations, making it difficult, if not impossible, to deliver your core goods and services. On top of that, your reputation could be damaged, you could lose customers, and you could face a range of legal, compliance, regulatory, and civil penalties. And, depending on the nature of the event and the events leading up to it, there may even be a chance of criminal prosecution. By integrating cyber resilience into your business continuity program, you can anticipate what these impacts may be, how severe they could potentially be, and make plans to mitigate those impacts.
Achieve RTOs and RPOs
Your recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) aren't just statistics to leave hidden within a spreadsheet. They're important parts of ensuring you're able to return to normal operations as soon as possible—with as minimal impact to your resilience as possible.
But sometimes, during incident response, especially for an event you weren't anticipating—such as a ransomware attack—it can be easy to overlook your objectives. Your team might be so focused on getting your systems restored, they overlook, for example, data loss impact.
Including cyber resilience in your business continuity program helps keep both your RTOs and RPOs front-of-mind, along with necessary processes to meet those important milestones.
Meet Compliance Mandates
A growing number of regulatory and oversight agencies—even some states—now have a range of cybersecurity and privacy mandates for organizations that handle, process, store, or transmit sensitive data such as personal health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII). As cyber breaches put an increasing number of these records at risk, a growing number of expectations and requirements are being pushed down to the individual organizational level.
And for many, it's not just about ensuring you have the right cybersecurity controls in place. It's about ensuring you can anticipate, respond to, stop, and quickly recover from an incident to decrease impact on your consumers and their sensitive and protected data.
Cyber resilience, integrated with your business continuity program, can help you manage and evaluate your effectiveness and know just how effective your controls and processes are long before an incident, breach, or audit.
Are you ready to take your cybersecurity practice to the next level and integrate it as a component toward your greater resilience? Here are a few resources you may find helpful:
While cyber resilience is an important discipline to incorporate into your business continuity program, you can strengthen your program by similarly focusing on integrations of other disciplines to help improve your organization's operational resilience. Here are some key areas to disciplines to consider: supply chain resilience, crisis management, life safety, IT/disaster recovery.

Namaste everyone
Hope and wishing everyone is fine and doing good. Today I am sharing a festive card with you all. Yes I am making cards for Deepavali which will be in November this year. I thought of making one card each month for Deepavali so that by the end of october I will be having few cards in hand to send out.
So i combined this thought with Cupcake inspiration challenge #511 which is colour inspiration and its so festive. Lets get started.
I kept the card simple with no stamping. I used #dressmycraft paper pack and die from them. I chose few pattern paper strps from the pack, arranged and tore edges to give distress look. Matted with gold mirror cardstock and vellum. Foam mounted thi panel on the red/maron card base. And added KALASH at the centre and my card is ready.
Thank you for joining do let me know your thoughts on my take of cic#511.
See you again with next post.

I have chickens that are 16 weeks and ducks about 14 weeks. Am getting ready to switch off chick starter. Was wondering if anyone has experience or info with feeding both together as they share run and eat each other's food...They love to share lol. I wanna know if layer feed is OK for putting both of them on and if the male's will be OK with this too or if an all flock will be best? My ducks are both males and females so girls will be laying too.

GameStop shares march higher on NFT plans, Cathy Wood's ARK Innovation fund gets slammed by tech's about-face, and Wall Street awaits December's jobs report.
Here are five things you must know for Friday January 7:
1. – Stocks Point to Higher Open Ahead of Jobs Report
U.S. stock futures were pointing to a slightly higher open early Friday morning ahead of a key U.S. employment report that is expected to show additional job growth in December, despite the surging omicron variant.
Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average are indicating a 45-point opening gain, while those linked to the S&P 500 are priced for a 5.25-point gain. Futures tied to the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite are indicating a 4.5-point rise at the start of trading as benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields trading up slightly at 1.725%.
Global benchmark Brent crude was up 0.7% at $82.54 a barrel, its highest level in more than eight weeks amid expectations that oil supply could potentially be lower due to freezing conditions in the midwest and Canada, and if protests in oil-rich Kazakhstan continue.
Stocks finished lower on Thursday amid expectations that the Federal Reserve would pull back on economic stimulus sooner than expected to tamp down inflation.
Economists and investors have been recalibrating their expectations of how inflation, which is currently running well above the Fed's 2% annual target, will be tamped down by the Fed, and what that will mean to companies that have relied on low interest rates through the pandemic.
Additional indications of whether wages are feeding into the inflation equation will come at 8:30 a.m. ET when the Labor Department releases its latest tally on job growth.
Economists polled by FactSet expect the U.S. economy added 422,000 new jobs last month, a more muted number than ADP's 807,000 tally released on Wednesday, though they also expect the unemployment rate ticked up a notch to 4.2% from 4.1% amid tight hiring.
Average hourly earnings, a key gauge of employers' cost to keep workers on the job and a component of overall inflation, are expected to have ticked up to 0.4% in December on a month-over-month basis, and 4.2% year over year.
2. -- GameStop Shares Jump on NFT Plans
GameStop (GME) - Get Free Report shares continued to trade higher in premarket trading on Friday after a report that the game retailer is launching a division to develop a marketplace for nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, making a foray into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
Shares of GameStop were up more than 30% in after-hours trading Thursday after The Wall Street reported that the video game retailer has hired nearly two dozen people to run an NFT platform, which is intended to be used for trading the virtual assets within videogames.
GameStop is reportedly creating partnerships with two crypto companies to "share technology and co-invest in the development of games that use blockchain and NFT technology, as well as other NFT-related projects", according to the Journal, citing people familiar with the plans.
The report said GameStop is asking select game developers and publishers to list NFTs on its marketplace when it plans to launch later this year.
GameStop's retail trading "Apes" have been expecting news of an NFT marketplace and a crypto play for months, believing that it is a key part of company Chairman Ryan Cohen's turnaround master plan, and they've been more than a year to hear it since Cohen, as an activist investor, took a large stake in the videogame retailer and sparked the short squeeze of January 2020.
At one point last year, shares of GameStop rose more than 500%, although it also fell to below $20. It ended the regular trading session Thursday at $131.03 a share. As of 6 a.m. ET Friday, GameStop shares were up 18.1% at $154.74 in premarket trading.
3 -- Sell-off in Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation fund Hits 48%
Cathie Wood's flagship fund ARK Innovation (ARKK) - Get Free Report remains caught in the epicenter of the tech selloff this week as some of its key holdings have pulled down the popular exchange-traded fund's returns.
At its low of the day on Thursday, the innovation-focused ETF was down more than 48% from its February 2021 all-time intraday high. That is a drop worse than the one the fund saw in March of 2020 during the low of the pandemic market rout.
Of the 43 holdings in ARK Innovation, 36 are more than 40% off their 52-week highs. Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report, Roku (ROKU) - Get Free Report, Teladoc Health (TDOC) - Get Free Report and Zoom Video (ZM) - Get Free Report are some of ARK Innovation's top holdings.
"The performance of Cathie Woods ARKK is so atrocious that even though it is not a hedge fund and it can't be shot against, it is a pall over every holding. Tempting to discuss opportunities but hard to find... It's such a tough streak...," CNBC's Jim Cramer said on Twitter on Thursday.
Wood herself isn't letting the tech wreck stop her from scooping up what she feels are potential bargains. Wood has continued to buy the dip in her favorite stocks, including DraftKings (DKNG) - Get Free Report, Veracyte (VCYT) - Get Free Report and Roblox (RBLX) - Get Free Report.
ARK Innovation closed down 0.6% at $85.58 per share on Thursday.
4. -- Apple CEO Tim Cook's 2021 Pay Package: $100 Million
Apple (AAPL ) - Get Free ReportCEO Tim Cook received almost $100 million in compensation in 2021, a year in which he completed 10 years as the company's CEO and led the iPhone maker to record profits during a global pandemic.
Cook's $98.7 million pay package rose more than 500% compared with the previous year's $14.8 million, according to the tech giant's annual proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cook's base salary of $3 million remained unchanged.
Apple shares rose about 80% last year and have continued to rise in recent days, briefly taking the tech giant's market value past $3 trillion this week. Apple reached $3 trillion roughly 500 days after it first passed the $2 trillion level. In August 2018, Apple became the first American company ever to be worth $1 trillion.
Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said earlier this week that while the supply chain shortages has dominated Wall Street conversation around Apple in the holiday quarter, he instead is focused on the robust consumer demand story shaping up for iPhone 13 into 2022.
Based on his supply chain checks over the last few weeks, Ives said he believes demand is outstripping supply for Apple by roughly 12 million units in the December quarter. That now will add to the tailwinds for the company in the March and June quarters, as the supply chain issues ease in the first half of 2022.
Apple's profit and sales in the 2021 fiscal year exceeded the company's past records, with sales topping $365 billion.
5. -- Google Loses to Sonos on Patent Infringement Case
Google (GOOGL) - Get Free Report infringed on audio patents held by Sonos (SONO) - Get Free Report and is barred from importing some of its Nest audio speakers and other violating products, a U.S. trade agency ruled on Thursday.
The U.S. International Trade Commission found the Alphabet-owned search giant violated five of Sonos's patents related to synchronizing audio, adjusting volume and connecting to Wi-Fi. The court determined that Google should stop importing products that used those patents.
Sonos Chief Legal Officer Eddie Lazarus told The Wall Street Journal that the decision was an "across the board win" for the company and called on Google to "pay a fair royalty for the technologies it has misappropriated."
Google spokesman José Castañeda told the Journal that the tech giant would appeal the decision. "We will seek further review and continue to defend ourselves against Sonos's frivolous claims about our partnership and intellectual property," he said.
Analysts expect the ruling will have limited effect on Google's product line because the company has revamped the design of some previously infringing products such as its Pixel smartphones and Nest speakers. The court vetted those changes and ruled that the overhauled products can be shipped without violating the import ban.
Shares of Sonos rose 5.65% in after-hours trading. Alphabet shares were up 0.3% after hours.

In case you haven't heard, Apple is about to change the way we do email marketing. While there are still many questions to be answered, we here at Simpleview are taking a positive approach.
The original press release from Apple can be found here. Additional information and details on this privacy update have yet to be released from Apple directly, including the exact release date, which is currently listed as sometime between September and November 2021. However, this has set the rumor mill off and running. After August 1, 2021, you can check in the Apple newsroom to see if more information has been released.
What's Happening with Apple Mail
Apple Mail Privacy is going to stop senders from using the 1x1 pixel in emails to track open rates and other data on which marketers base their roadmaps. This means users will be able to turn off open tracking, block their IP address, and hide their email address.
These features will be available to those using iOS 15 with Apple Mail. Any email opened from the Apple Mail app – no matter which email service is used, such as Gmail or a work account. However, this shouldn't affect other email apps used on Apple devices like the Gmail app on an iPhone. These updates will change how we've tracked the efficacy of email campaigns for the last two decades.
What You Can Do Now
Since we know so little officially, now is the time to reevaluate a few strategies and get ready for fall (or spring, depending on your hemisphere).
- If you don't already know this statistic, the first thing to do is find out how much of your email list is regularly opening emails with Apple Mail. This can be done through your email marketing platform. If you use Act-On, you can contact your Marketing Automation Specialist at Simpleview for more information on how to do this.
- Track your click-to-open rate if you aren't already. This additional baseline will help you going forward. Other metrics to watch include Unsubscribes, List Growth, Conversion Rate, and Website Traffic. Continue to monitor your list hygiene because with the way tracking opens are changing, your open rate might no longer determine your reputation score.
- Right now is a great time to run a re-engagement program as part of your email marketing strategy. Re-engagement campaigns are important for list hygiene and should be a fairly regular occurrence in your organization. If they aren't, this is a great time to set one up and get that list cleaned out.
The best defense is a good offense, and this is true with your email marketing strategy. As marketers, we are constantly having to pivot and adapt to the ever-changing technology landscape. Right now is the time to tighten up your list hygiene, privacy policies, and sender reputation. This will leave you in a good spot when the changes from Apple come, no matter what they might be.

If anyone is wondering if I really want to fight, the answer is yes. I also really want to get paid.

I quit the light heavyweight division, literally gained a massive amount of weight. And now people are saying I'm afraid? Everyone but me claiming that I'm afraid. All I asked was to get paid.
— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021
why does a fighter have to be afraid the second he mentions he wants to get paid his worth. What an insult.
— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021
Conor McGregor wants big money, it's expected. Jon Jones wants money, now he's scare.
— BONY (@JonnyBones) March 28, 2021
I've been working my butt off, gained all this weight. Have never lost a fight before. Now all of a sudden I am scared. What bullshit

Jackson Lee
|Salvage Yard Operator
|Lee Salvage Co. Owner
|Former UCASN Officer
|Contact Owner
|Public Contact?
|Tacoma Docks
|Preferred Payment Method
|Personal Life
|Lee Salvage Co.
Amateur Arms Dealer
CAS Veteran
Military Connections
Lee Salvage Co. Scrapyard
Smuggling Connections
Cdr. Jackson Lee was originally a pilot for the CAS Navy. He was grounded after a nasty wreck over iceland moving cargo into Russia.
After his recovery he took a liking to submarines. He transitioned to the submarine service soon after. He served for 24 years at the helm of nearly every class in their inventory. His most memorable tour of duty was on the CSS Virginia II. He was present when she was in Everette.
A little known mission of the CSS Virginia II was also as a SEAL delivery vehicle. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the missions, Jackson served multiple tours on the boat. He met quite a few people and has seen quite a few things.
When he retired from the Navy, he decided to freelance. He started an underwater salvage company and moved out to Seattle. He heard Seattle was the place to be for all kinds of freelance work, and even some less than legal operations. He looks forward to working there.
He inevitably ran in to Shadowrunners. He expected this, and offers services in the shadows, utilizing some of his old Navy contacts.
GM tips
- He is pretty carefree. He isn't afraid of KE or the UCAS, and will generally bend most rules to help his Runner friends.
- He still has high connections in the CAS Navy. Not enough to really keep him from getting into trouble, but enough to make KE possibly reconsider hassling him with small things.
- His smuggling connections are almost exclusively Navy and Air Force. Overland smuggling is a bit tougher for him and should be more difficult and costly to procure.

This is an important must-read story from the Sydney Morning Herald. Check it out!
via US looks to Turkey to cut Islamic State oil revenue.
Without Turkey's active participation, Obama's so-called "strategy" for ISIS already looks to be at risk. Obama's strategy speech was not well received in the Middle East, where many believe that the US is responsible for ISIS, after premature departure of US troops from Iraq.
Elsewhere in the news, we can see that the Iraqi government is restricting US bombing of civilian areas, including ISIS controlled towns.
Meanwhile, hours ago ISIS has released details of the beheading of the British hostage, a former aide-worker. The World will be looking for an effective response.
Let me raise some open questions:
- Is Obama's current "strategy for defeating ISIS" already destined for failure?
- Surely, the only viable strategy is for the US to take the gloves off and deploy America's full military capability, including ground troops?

Beginning Nov. 1, 2018, World of Hyatt is allowing its members to earn 2,000 bonus points when staying four or more consecutive qualifying nights at any eligible Hyatt House hotel in the world. The catch is that you must register in advance for the promotion and must checkout of the hotel by Dec. 31, 2018, in order for the stay to qualify for the bonus points.
If you're a World of Hyatt member, you can register for the promotion beginning Tuesday through Nov. 30, 2018. You can earn a maximum of 30,000 bonus points during the promotion period, which is the equivalent of 15 stays during the nearly two-month period.
According to the terms and conditions, an eligible night is defined as any night where a member is paying an eligible rate or redeems a free night award for at least one night of their stay. In addition, two or more consecutive nights at the same hotel will be considered the same stay.
Bonus points earned as part of this Hyatt House promotion can be redeemed at any Hyatt property around the world, including at Miraval resorts, participating MGM resort destinations and participating Exhale studios for spa and fitness classes. In addition, bonus points earned as part of this promotion will appear in your World of Hyatt account within two to three weeks after staying the required four or more consecutive qualifying nights.
This new Hyatt House-specific promo is in addition to World of Hyatt's existing promotion, which doesn't expire until Nov. 30. With that, you can earn up to 60,000 bonus points spent at any Hyatt hotel or resort worldwide. It appears as though these promos can be stacked, which means more bonus points for you.

Each week, Teen Vogue will take you on a journey to The Republic of Gilead — ground zero of The Handmaid's Tale.
This week, Offred's romance with Nick heats up just as she receives some surprising news regarding her husband; Serena Joy's past proves she was one of the key architects behind Gileadean way of life; and the trade deal with Mexico isn't what it seems.
The first scene picks up where episode five left off: We see Offred and Nick in the throes of passion, although this time it's a product of Offred's daydream. In reality, she and the other Handmaids are lined up in front of the Wall where public executions take place, scrubbing it clean and removing all traces of blood. One of the Handmaids asks why they're being forced to do this and Alma responds: foreign dignitaries from Mexico are planning a visit so every sign of brutality must be erased. The Commanders of Gilead want to paint a picture of Utopia for their guests. Alma then tells Offred that the officials are planning to stop by Commander Waterford's home later that night. Offred asks how she came to know such privileged, sensitive information but Alma shrugs it off without giving her a proper answer. Could Alma be part of the Mayday resistance, too?
That evening, Serena Joy summons Offred to her bedroom where she tells her the trade delegations with Mexico are going well and they need to make a good impression. This is her way of saying the officials may ask Offred some questions about Gileadean way of life, and she better not disappoint the Waterford household with anything but pleasantries.
Not long after, Nick and Offred wait to be invited inside the Commander's office. Seizing the moment, Nick tells her she looks beautiful and reaches for her hand, but is ambushed by the Commander himself. Inside, Offred is faced with a room full of foreign dignitaries, one of whom is the Ambassador from Mexico, a woman. It's been years since Offred last saw a woman in a position of power, wearing a modern pantsuit no less. The Ambassador proceeds to ask Offred what her given name was before Gilead, and she responds saying that name is forbidden now. The Ambassador also questions whether Offred chose to be a Handmaid, and she's left with no choice but to say the decision was hers. Then, as if on cue, Serena Joy walks in and invites everyone to join her in the parlor for appetizers. But the Ambassador says she has one final question for Offred: Are you happy here? Offred tries to communicate with the Ambassador through her eyes alone, but feeling the weight of everyone's stare, she stammers, "Yes, I've found happiness."
In the parlor, Commander Waterford asks how Mexico's food system is faring, and the official says it's tough going like everywhere else in the world due to the new weather patterns. Another Commander in the group says he hopes Mexico will find all of the resources they can offer attractive. Does this mean what we think it does?

Mercury in Sagittarius makes you curious about everything. You might stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Beware, this could attract criticism.
Snooping on your partner's phone isn't a good idea. It'll only cause an argument, and the stars advise avoiding that. If you're having doubts, talk to them.
You have a narrow vision of what a relationship can be for you, and you're dreaming of meeting the right person. You want stability.
In relationships, you should focus on communication, because a good conversation is far preferable to unfounded thoughts. If you're single, you need balance. Be patient.
You like to know what your colleagues are doing. You'll try to eavesdrop here and there, but discreetly: you don't want to be found out.
Unexpected expenses might take you by surprise today, just when you've decided to make some holiday purchases. The best thing would be to avoid racking up debts.
You're very physically resistant, which is great, especially if you live someplace where it gets cold!
Your friends will be there to support you if you're ever in trouble. You can confide in them in about (nearly) anything. They'll listen.

But there's one relatively stagnant number that you might not have heard about from admissions data: household income.
In every incoming class since 2009, the majority of new students who responded estimated that their parents' total household income was $100,000 or more.
The question, which is in a survey that first-years are given at new student orientation the summer before they start college, asks students to estimate their parents' income. In the Class of 2020, 2,544 students, or 60 percent of new students, answered the question.
The data
The results of the question, which more than 2,300 students responded to in most years, could suffer from voluntary response bias or students not knowing how much money their parents make.
However, a study by The Equality of Opportunity Project that links anonymized tax data with attendance records confirms that wealthier students, such as those in the fifth quintile — the highest 20 percent of incomes — or top 1 percent, are overrepresented at UNC.
The study looks at data from the parents of all babies born in 1991 — or people who probably graduated in approximately 2013 if they went to a four-year college.
In the study, researchers calculated the average of a family's income over the course of five years for the fiscal years 2006-2010, when the children were in their late teens.
Of the parents whose 1991 babies attended UNC, the median household income was $129,500 — the 77th percentile among other households with children born in that year, and the mean household income of UNC parents was $221,588.
Almost one in four UNC students in the study came from families in the top 5 percent of incomes. The study also showed that 40.7 percent came from the top 10 percent of incomes, and 5.5 percent of them came from "the 1 percent."
Benny Goldman, a Stanford pre-doctoral student who helped analzye the data for the study, said that UNC has a smaller percentage of students from the richest 1 percent than many elite schools. At Duke, for example, 19 percent of students came from the top 1 percent.
"UNC also takes on a few more lower-income and middle-class students than those places as well," he said. "In terms of the number of lower-income students, UNC is an average elite school, but in terms of number of super wealthy kids, UNC has fewer compared to most elite schools. That's not to say it's an economically diverse place. All elite schools tend to kind of not be so, but I would say UNC is a far less extreme example."
Before college
Of the UNC students in the research study's data, 3.5 percent fell into the bottom 20 percent of incomes.
About 21 percent came from the bottom 60 percent. On the other hand, more than 59 percent of students came from the wealthiest 20 percent.
Goldman said there are many reasons why poor and even middle-class students are less likely than wealthy students to attend 'elite' colleges, which the study considers the 82 schools labelled highly selective in Barron's 2009 college rankings to be.
Steve Farmer, vice provost for enrollment and undergraduate admissions, said low-income students face challenges long before they're thinking about whether or where to go to college. Farmer helped start Carolina Advising Corps, a program where recent UNC graduates work as advisers who help students with college planning at impoverished North Carolina high schools.
"If all we're doing is trying to make sure our own class is strong, we're not doing enough," he said.
After graduation
UNC's post-graduation mobility rates are consistent with those at other top-tier colleges — but only up to a certain point.
A second part of the research looked at the tax returns of people aged 32-34 who graduated from college in the early 2000s. The results show that at UNC, there is a positive association between growing up in a high quintile and being wealthier by age 32-34. However, the expected income percentile of a person who grew up in the bottom 20 percent and top 20 were the 63rd and 71st respectively — only a 7 percent difference.
What's more striking is how socioeconomic status as a teenager affects the chance of making it to the top among UNC graduates: 33.3 percent of graduates who spent their adolescence in the first quintile made it to the highest 20 percent of earners by their mid-30s whereas 53.6 percent of graduates who were in the fifth quintile as teenagers stayed there.
Similarly, 2.5 percent of graduates whose parents were in the first quintile reached the wealthiest 1 percent of incomes while more than 7 percent of graduates who grew up in the richest 20 percent of incomes made it to "the 1 percent."
Goldman said UNC's outcomes are unusual for elite universities.
"One of the general patterns we see in the data is at top schools, there actually doesn't tend to be a difference of chance you do well when you're older based on parent income once you're already into the school," he said.
Goldman said he doesn't know why some schools are more successful at mobility than others.
"There's other places, mostly concentrated in the southeastern United States, where if you're born into a low-income family, you have a really tiny chance of ever getting out of poverty," he said.
Alanna Gillis, a sociology PhD student at UNC, said wealthier students are more likely to have connections that help them land jobs.
"We know that more than half of people found out about the job that they're in right now through someone that they know," Gillis said. "If we think about people coming from families who are in these really high-income jobs, when the students attend college afterwards, those families have those connections to be able to get those students internships at these really prestigious corporations and things like that."

Lithe Audio has just announced the arrival of the first certified Wi-Fi Ceiling Speakers with AirPlay 2 built-in. This addition of Apple's latest protocol enables users to group Lithe Audio's all-in-one ceiling speakers together with any other AirPlay 2-enabled speakers and systems to create a fully immersive multi-brand, multi-room audio solution.
"This is a truly exciting development for us – and for consumers who now have the option of a cost-effective addition to their multi-room home entertainment systems and don't need to be locked in to a single-brand solution," says Amit Ravat, MD and co-founder of Lithe Audio.
AirPlay 2 enables users to control all their AV technology – soundbars, speakers, TVs – from one device, transforming their iPhone, iPad or Mac into an all-in-one entertainment hub. The addition of AirPlay 2 to Lithe Audio Wi-Fi speakers enables them to become part of this home entertainment experience, working with other brands and across multiple devices to stream high quality audio throughout the home.
Amit adds, "Our ceiling speakers deliver superb sound quality, with a pin-sharp clarity that will complement other brand offerings. And what makes them even more attractive is that they're an all-in-one solution – with the 60W RMS amplifier and Wi-Fi built-in.
This means that there's no need for speaker cables or separate AV equipment, making them really easy to install or retro-fit into any home."
Using AirPlay 2 alongside HomeKit and Siri, every compatible device in a household can be controlled using voice.
Lithe Audio's update adds Apple HomeKitcompatibility to the Wi-Fi speakers, allowing users to create automations and link lighting, heating, security and audio through an iPhone, iPad or Mac. It also allows users to pair their music to play with motion sensors, pulse switches or alarm systems.
It will also now be possible to ask Sirito turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat and play a favourite playlist through the speakers.
To ensure a complete and safe home solution, the Lithe Audio Wi-Fi speakers with AirPlay 2 also come in an IP44 version for safe use in bathrooms.
"We're thrilled to be the first to market with an AirPlay 2 ceiling speaker," adds Ravat: "It reinforces our brand as being in the forefront of innovation when it comes to high quality, easy-to-use home technology.
"For us, it's all about creating a great user experience that combines advanced technology with ease of installation and superb sound quality. And these speakers will not disappoint."
The frameless speakers are designed to 'disappear' into the ceiling, only protruding 3mm. The magnetic grille covers can be removed easily for cleaning or for replacement with a different coloured finish. The grilles can be painted to match the ceiling for a barely-there look.
