"About 250 Girls from City are Gang Raped Each Night' – Abishek Clifford, CEO of Rescue
Mangaluru : Addressing the media persons eloquently in Kannada language during a press meet held at Mangalore Press Club, Bristish born Abishek Clifford, the CEO of RESCUE said, "Rescue is an NGO which conducts moral awareness programs in more than 200 colleges each year to about half a lakh students teaching against violent pornography, youth abortions, human trafficking, aids, irresponsible sexual behaviour and rape". It is learnt that Clifford having done this survey was a statistics and ethics lecturer in London. Rescue has done moral awareness programs in 50 colleges in Mangaluru to 21,000 students in the last few months.
Following is the survey details that was furnished by Abishek Clifford, along with Vijithra-Executive member of Rescue, during the press meet to the media personnel :
The survey was carried out in 25 colleges in Mangaluru City to 470 students. Clusters of 1 class per college with a quota of 20 students per class were asked questions indirectly about their friends. EG: "What percentage of guys your age watch rape videos?" "How much porn do they watch each week?" Target age was 16-21.
Results : 68% of degree boy students watch 7 hours per week starting on average in year 10 and 28% of degree girls in Mangaluru City watching an average of 3 hours per week, 38% of the boys watch violent porn including on average 11 rapes per week! 1,900 new students start watching rape each year and during their PUC/HSS and Degree time they will have seen 2,900 rapes! 15,000*1 Rapes Are Viewed by this age group Every Day In Mangaluru City!
Does porn inspire rape and illicit activities? The Students certainly believe it does:
78% said that porn is progressive and addictive. 87% said porn leads to sexual activities and according to the students 32% are sleeping with their girl friend boy friend.
– Youth Pregnancies increasing: according to our survey each year 1,000 girls this age in the City get pregnant + have an abortion.
– 82% said that watching rape gives the desire to actually rape someone. Even if only 10% act on this desire would mean that we are training up 160 new rapists a year in Mangaluru City
We do not allow the advertising of cigarettes on TV so why do we allow the advertising of rape and child molestation on the internet?
Maths*1 for 15,000 rapes per day: Mangaluru population 540,000 * 1.9% of pop in each year (2011 census) /2 (only boys) * 38 % boys watch rape * average 1.6 rapes per day watched * 5 years 16-21 age group
Recommendation: Block Any Web Site That Hosts Teen Porn / Rape Porn
Internet freedom promoters state their rights to watch porn in private, but the internet is not private, can be accessed by all, inc children 24/7. Those who do not want blocks on the net, do they also want no blocks on what can be shown in schools? Should Sunny Leonne be allowed to stirp in the school assemblies? This is what is viewed through their mobile phones. Do they want strip clubs in high streets? This is a double standard. We police the roads, business, films and must also police the internet. Why do we want to move away from civilized life and return to lawlessness in one area?
Rescue is doing a national survey. They have finished 4 states in south India and will be doing selected northen states and then will file PIL to request Gov to block all foreign web sites from Indian Net which host rape videos and molestation of minors. The 4 days national outcry last August showed that Gov of India has technology to easily block selected web sites.
Teen porn and Human Trafficking: About 250 girls from Mangaluru City are gang raped every night!
These are the young girls trafficked from this coastal city who in brothels are used (raped) by multiple guys each night. Human trafficking fuelled by youth porn is far worse a problem compared to the recorded much publicized rape epidemic. Calculated using interpolation of 4 recent national surveys on human trafficking of minors for sexual exploitation:
60 NCRB National Crime Records Bureau for 2014 approximately 21,000 (children under 12 and girls under 30 were abducted without specified) /12,907 lakh (pop India) *5 Lakhs
(pop Mangaluru City)=9 pa *7 yrs
110 NHRC 11,000 national human rights commission /550 lakhs population Karnataka*5.4 lakhs population Mangaluru city
230 BBA report 23,000 (Bachpan Bachao Andolan) /550*5.4
600 CBI13,00,000 pa India (CBI total trafficked children present in India) interpolation /12,907 lakh (pop India) *5.4 Lakhs (pop Mangaluru City )
So average 250 teenage girls from Mangaluru trafficked in last 6,7 years into brothels
What has led to this exponential increase in rape of children in brothels? Our survey suggests the answer:
50% boys watch 'teen' porn. 70% of the web sites they watch have teen (child) porn. 13,000 demanding teen porn => more girls are abducted to make this type of youth porn => human trafficking increase.
75% said that it inspires the use of prostitutes. 37% of these degree students go to prostitutes- 9,400 boys demanding and paying for young prostitutes (in Mangaluru) more Human Trafficking! Supply meets demand.
Further Recommendations :
Include Cyber Ethics in the syllabus: College students should be warned of the dangers of watching porn. Before our cyber ethics programs 18% of the girls said that porn is harmless and pre-marital sex with abortion is ok. After our programs only 5% still thought this, that is a 72% reduction of promiscuous attitudes through just one program!
Parental software freely available on the net will stop all porn sites, all porn popups and adds and all porn on You Tube (e.g. K9 free software). A letter should be sent to all high school children's parents explaining how to use such apps on their children's digital devices.
These Disturbing statistics are given to authorities including the police and those in education and demand serious debate and action. Unchecked, the consequences on Indian families, children and society will be devastating.

MIAMI -- So where does Alex Rodriguez think he'll be playing
next season?
"If I had to guess, if I was a betting man, I would probably
say that I probably would be back in Texas," the AL MVP said
The Rangers and Boston Red Sox are exploring a trade where left
fielder Manny Ramirez would be sent to Texas for the star
shortstop. The possible deal would be a swap of baseball's only $20
million-a-year players.
"When you have a lot of smoke and a lot of talks going on,
usually nothing gets done," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez hit .298 with 47 home runs and 118 RBIs last season.
Ramirez hit .325, second-best in the AL, with 37 home runs and 104
Rodriguez was in Miami to visit his old high school, where he
sponsors an annual basketball tournament.

I have to admit it: the pessimists who saw it coming were right and I was dead wrong. I expected the 4.75% barrier to hold because of the fact that GDP is growing, house values are holding on (a mere 4.2% dip after a 100% rise is but a tiny correction after a monstrous rally), and inflation is on the rise. Apparently, Bernanke was even more anxious to deliver instant gratification to homeowners that I gave him credit for.
This rate cut against the backdrop of a robust economy is really bad news. Until now, rate cuts usually followed recessions. But now the policy is to cut rates to prevent a recession. What we're essentially saying is this: our economy is still strong, but it's only because we're cutting rates. Note that it's not even enough to keep the rates low (4.75% is very low by historical standards). No, if we just keep them low, we'll go into recession, or so we think. The necessary condition of our economic prosperity is that our low rates must be getting ever lower. When was the last time we had high rates? Oh, it was very long time ago, sometime in the last century. Since then we always had low rates, something like 2%-4%. We like our low rates, and we can't raise them anymore. We've tried once, and our economy nearly gave up the ghost when we briefly touched 5.25%. Will never do it again. Remember I said some time ago that we may never see the 5.25% rate again? Well, the way things go, I'm wondering if it's the time to say goodbye to 5% if not to 4.75%. With so many homeowners demanding annual property appreciation, that barrier cannot be defended. It's true, of course, that a barrel of oil will now cost even more pounds of dollar bills, but that's another story.
Sure, Fed Fund rates will go down, I bet to 3.5%, maybe lower, but over the very long term (10-15 years) rates will go up again, to 10% or so. It's like a cycle.
Rates went down in the 1950s and then went up during the 1970s. They are now down and will go up again. Just IMO. You can have a look at this chart.
In the 1970s house prices did not depend on mortgage rates. Mortgage was a way for you to pay for bricks and cement. These were fixed costs and they would not get any cheaper just because you have to pay a higher interest. But today mortgage is a way for you to enrich the guy who sells the lot to the construction company. This cost is not fixed, it's variable. How much you can pay under this or that interest scenario minus the cost of bricks and labor is exactly the price you will pay for the land. The first component is determined by the Fed, so the price of a house is now a function of interest rates. So, in the 1970s it was possible to quadruple rates, and homeowners would hardly notice. Today, if you set the rate to 17%, prices will respond by falling until land costs $0, and that means 70% devaluation in most big cities. So if today Bernake tries, say, 6%, the growling of the homeowners will force him to go back to 4.5%. And there is no way to cross that line becuase when houses double from today's level, 2.5% will be new theshold you can't cross, then when houses quadruple, you can't go over 1.25%, and so on.

Unanswered: Need help on SQL query
I have a SQL Table which trace the agent states. Each time an agent change of state, a record is added.
I want to know how long an agent spent in a specific state.
Code of the main states :
0 : logged off
1 : logged on
2: Not Ready
3 : Ready
Column Reason is significant only when the agent start to be not ready (state = 2)
This give the following table :
Hour, State, Reason
10:25, 3, 0
10:28, 2, 10
10:42, 3, 0
10:44, 8, 0
10:45, 3, 0
10:56, 2, 11
10:57, 4, 0
11:01, 5, 0
11:02, 2, 0 (no reason here, because already in not ready state)
11:03, 3, 0
Which SQL Query should I create, to know the duration between the states 2 and 3 (the time spent in Not Ready state) ?
Here, I should have 2 durations :
4 minutes (between 10:28 and 10:42), for reason 10
7 minutes (between 10:56 and 11:03), for reason 11
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Need help on SQL query
Hi Laurent,
A few questions to clarify your situation...
-- which database platform are you querying against (MS SQL Server, Access, etc.?)
-- in your agent state table, is the data only for one day and then cleared out? ...or is it a historical table and has a date field, or other field to differentiate if a particular batch of agent state records have been analyzed?
-- do you (or can you) have some type of primary key (autonumber) in the table?
-- how would you like the output? Just as it is below in your post in 4 fields? (NumMinutes, NotReadyTime, ReadyTime, Reason)
4 minutes (between 10:28 and 10:42), for reason 10
7 minutes (between 10:56 and 11:03), for reason 11
-- is the time field stored in such a way to differentiate 9:00 am from 9:00 pm?
-- what if you have the same reason code in the same day (or time period)? In the final output, do you want to rollup/aggregate multiple occurences of the same reason code, or have a separate row for each? Ex: if reason 10 happens in the same day...
-- are you locked in for some reason to do this in a series of queries, or are you free to do this in code (ex: loop through Recordset object in ADO and use variables)?
Anyway, I'll wait to come up with a suggestion until I know a little more about the circumstances b/c this can be done many ways depending on your environment.

Hy Kael,
First, I would like to thank you for your quick answer.
About your questions :
1: I am using MS SQL Server
2 : In fact the table is historical with the following date format : 2004-01-20 10:52:46.000
3 : there is only one record for one datetime. So it can be considered as a primary Key
4 : the outpout shoud be Duration(HH:mm:ss), Reason(int)
5 : I do not want to agregate the row on the reason.
6 : I need one query. I am using Sybase Infomaker and I can only use one query. But It can be complicated and not optimized. No Pb with select overlaped.
Hope this will helps you.

Re: Reply to kaeldowdy
Sure, no problem...
Let me first say YIKES!!! You have to do it in just one SELECT query? That's a toughie! It's sure a lot simpler if you could do it in multiple steps/queries or in a stored procedure or in some code loop. But I guess you are tied in to the limitations of Infomaker, huh?
OH! I just realized something...since you are hitting a SQL Server with your Sybase Infomaker (not familiar with that product btw), are you able to create stored procs. on the server? All the processing could be done in a loop or cursor and then only one recordset would be returned to Infomaker. I'm guessing you already thought of these types of things, but just wanted to ask. If it has to be a query b/c of how Infomaker likes it, then I'll have to think and tinker with it a bit longer...
BTW: what does "No Pb with select overlaped." mean?

I am not very familiar with MS-SQL Server nor SQL queries.
In Infomaker, I can only insert one request but it can be with several select in the main select (that's what i ment with overlaped select).
like this :
data = sum(select GGG in XXXX where YYY)
TTT.skillgroup IN (select zzz from ddd where fff)
If you think it's impossinble in one request, can you detail the procs I could store on the Server ?

I got cha with the overlapping queries. They are usually called subqueries.
Anyway, I was playing with it a little bit trying a few different things in one query, although it's actually a bunch of nested subqueries. I've started trying the "crosstab query" route and got pretty good results, but it's not quite there yet.
Attached is an Access database where I'm tinkering around with it. I know in the end it'll be MS SQL Server syntax, but I have it in Access first to use the crosstab query builder capabilities since it's really fast to make them. If the final solution requires some type of Xtab, the syntax will have to be converted to something SQL Server likes.
Check out in the attached database two queries (qryMain and qryXtabMain). The first query gets rid of everything except state=2 and reason is != 0 or state=3. That way you get rid majority of the records you don't want to look at. The second query is the crosstab which uses the first query (simulating a subquery for the time being). You'll see where the reason code = 2, the next record is the time the agent comes back online (code = 3). It's just that the time is in a different field in the next record. That's gonna be the challenging part to grab in one query, but I don't think it's impossible yet. I will look at the stored proc thing too (which is a lot simpler to do compared to doing it in one query).
I'll look back at it in more depth tonight, but maybe the Xtab thing will spark a few ideas on your end...

Hy Kael,
Thank you very much for your involment.
I appriciate a lot.
Someone gave me this query and it works !
v.A, v.B, v.state, v.reason
(select t.time As A, t.state, t.reason,
(Select min(time) from table where state = 3 AND time > t.time) As B
from table t
where t.state = 2 AND (NOT t.reason = 0)) v;

Sure thing Laurent...
I started looking at the st. proc. thing yesterday, but didn't get to finish it. I'll have to tell you, that is a pretty ingenious query. Especially with the "AND time > t.time" part...that's where I was wanting to go with my little crosstab thing and I figured in the end it would end up being a correlated subquery.
Glad you got it to work...I'll remember this little trick!

What is Euchre?
Euchre is a card game played by 4 people, split into 2 teams of 2. It is often considered to be a simplified, more accessible, form of Bridge. Euchre is responsible for the introduction of the Joker card in the 1800s; however the Joker is not actually used in most forms of modern Euchre.
Overview of Euchre
|2 teams of 2 are competing against each other, with the goal to be the first team to reach 10 points. Each dealing of cards (or hand) presents an opportunity for a team to win from 1 to 4 points. Teammates sit opposite each other at the card table. 24 cards are used, 9 through Ace for each suit. You can find Euchre playing cards from Bicycle that are tailored to the game.
For each hand, 5 cards are dealt to each player, leaving 4 cards undealt (called the kitty). A hand consists of 5 "tricks" whereby each player plays one card in order. The number of tricks won by a team determines the number of points won by that team.
To learn the full details of how to play, along with illustrated examples, check out how to play Euchre.
Teammates sit across from each other
The History of Euchre
While Euchre is a game played throughout the United States (and in many other parts of the world, especially England), it is often considered to have it's core fan base in the US Midwest. Assumed to have been brought to the US from Germany ("Jucker" or "Joker" is the original German spelling of "Euchre"), it has enjoyed wide popularity as a social card game.
As Euchre has spread, it has also evolved a number of variations, many of which lead to different strategies and game durations.

Dear Internet Readers,
There are very few things in life that really matter in a person's life.To me, the Banked Slalom is one of those few things. I have never feltmore a part of an event in my life. Gynn, Amy, Martha, the cave, and therace volunteers are special, in my life and my memories. All thecompetitors are also that important as well. These people who come do notcome for money, they come for a painted roll of duct tape, and some don'teven come for that.
It is most fitting the race is held on Super Bowl Sunday of every year,because I feel it is of equal comparison. It is the same to me as the NBAChampionships, the World Series, the Final Four, or the Stanley Cup. Tomake the cut alone is a heavy thing, but to win, well one could onlydream. A person who wins like Terje should be compared to a MichaelJordan.
I apologize for the delay in my coverage and in my coverage as well. Icould never completely explain the Legendary Baker Banked Slalom to you,just as one could never explain what is to be in love or to feel the heartwretch of not living up to one's own expectations. All I can offer is somebrief journal like notes and a promise: if you can ever make it to thisrace, it will change your life.
The General a.k.a. Joe Cummins woke us before dawn, much to Andy'sdispleasure. Thanks to Matt (Cummins) our boards had been waxed the nightbefore. Waxing is probably the second most important part of a fast run,the first being a competent rider. I being the genius that I am decided toscrape before we left for the hill, Matt instantly reprimanded me. ¿Noteto self-You scrape and buff only prior to your run. Registration was from8:00 to 8:30 am, coarse inspection was from 9:00 to 9:30 am. Slipping onlyof course. The sky was clearer and bluer than at any Banked Slalom I'dever been to; you could see all of the surrounding Cascades for miles.
At the starting gate Gynn and Martha had been yelling who was to run nextand giving out hugs like crazy. They started with the Next Generationsfirst, Men's Pro run last. Each racer was given one run, the top 25 percentadvancing and the rest of the field has tomorrow to try again. The anxietyof your first run is enough to make a grown man cry. Everyone wants to dohis or her best, period.
Terje had shown up, but that didn't stop Temple Cummins from having thefastest time of the day with a 1:19:60. I wonder if Matt's insane wax jobcontributed to his time. Billy Anderson fell in his run making me one hundreddollars richer. The favorites for Sunday seemed to be Temple, Terje, RobMorrow, Josh Dirksen, Peter Bauer and Matt Goodwill.
We helped Cheryl (Cummins) prepared our steak and potato dinners. Cherylis in my top five of all time greatest cooks. The Cummins/NorthwestSnowboards/One Ball Jay has been involved with the Banked Slalom for overfourteen years and truly help to make the experience so much more.
Matt and Temp teched out our boards as Andy and I ran some errands. It wasmy turn for one, two, three, drop and I lost twenty-five, but gained ahell of a buzz.
Again the General awakes us before dawn. As my personal traditioncontinues I awoke and opened a nice cold Wienhards, it was to be one ofmany, and felt good to my pounding head. My tradition includes sitting inthe lodge as long as I can before my run. (Lots of people funnel through,always ready to buy you a mellow one.)
I had qualified the day before and was up a hundred, so I had nothing tolose, yet when I enter the start shack I was shaking violently. I followedMatt's waxing instructions to the letter and boy did it work great. I hadmade three huge mistakes on the course but was only eight tenths of asecond slower. Billy however, had fallen in this run again. He would notmake the cut, and that is a hundred times worse than loosing anotherhundred bucks to me. I immediately head back to the start shack to tellGynn Billy could have one of my runs tomorrow. She said she'd see what seecould do.
Terje haad the fastest time, followed by Temp, and then Rob Morrow. Therace was getting heated.
The bonfire was blazing and the line for the salmon was long, but man itwas worth the wait. Hands down it was the best salmon I had ever tasted.Mike Ranquet was back at the hill for the bonfire with his ankle in a cast after breaking it the day before. Mike, James, and Axel had been getting good snow and doinghairball lines all morning. Mike had come off a cliff into a chute and wasin the high speed run-out when he hit some ice and consequently ran into atree. The Legendary Banked Slalom isn't always just the course.
At the bonfire Gynn had pulled Billy and I aside to inform us that Billycould use one of my runs but it would count against the field, only me. Myrun would count, but I'd only get one. I was happy Billy was back in, andwe still had two hundred on it.
Andy was still hungry when we got down, so Temp dropped us of at Milano'spromising to return in an hour. We would all go see Dave Lee and ToddSchlosser's band play. We eat and an hour past, no sign of Temp, so Andyand I grabbed twelve sport beers from Graham's and walked over to seeRanquet. After some cards, (I lost thirty) we headed down to Maple Fall'sto the party. Dave and Todd rocked, and Todd even stood up for Burien and"sissy" rock to a horde of drunken "moshers".
I did make it home by two a.m., the General informed me of this at seventhis morning. It hurt. I couldn't talk. I just wanted to sleep. We drove upto the hill, it hurt. I sat in the lodge, it hurt. I went to the top ofthe course, it hurt.
At 11:00 a.m. it stopped hurting when the panic of the race had replacedit. You get two runs on Sunday, the first you see your time, the second isannounced at the awards. Of the known times, Terje had the fastest. Billy and I elected to not know our times till the awards. Ifell coming out of the second turn, since I had given my other run toBilly, I knew it was done. The fall cost me at least six seconds, andMatt's wax job could only do so much.
Much to my embarrassment Gynn called us up at the awards. Billy made itdown with a solid 1:22:03, I failed with a 1:26:20. Billy and I came outeven, and I'm glad my friend was happy.
I laid down for much need sleep, I was sad it was over, but smiled alittle when I realized the 2001 Banked Slalom started in only 363 days.

Now we just lay a piece of plastic runner there - no battery hookup - and they stay out of the living room. In fact when my family was here for the holiday dinner, Larry took up the piece of plastic and still both dogs stayed our of the living room.

Almond-Orange Pound Cake
Bursting with the sweet flavor of almond paste and tangy orange zest and speckled with poppy seeds, this exceedingly moist pound cake is then gilded with a sugary citrus glaze. Inspired by a recipe from Flo Braker, it is the perfect accompaniment to a steaming cup of coffee or tea.
- 3/4 cup (3 oz./90 g) cake flour, sifted
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- 5 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (7 oz./220 g) almond paste, at room temperature
- 1 cup (8 oz./250 g) sugar
- 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) (8 oz./250 g) unsalted butter, at room
temperature, cut into small chunks
- 2 tsp. finely grated orange zest
- 1 tsp. poppy seeds
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbs. fresh orange juice
- 3/4 cup (6 oz./185 g) sugar
Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Butter and flour two 9-by-5-inch (23-by-13-cm) loaf pans.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla just until combined.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the almond paste on low speed until it breaks up, about 1 minute. Slowly add the sugar in a steady stream, beating until incorporated. (If you add the sugar too quickly, the paste won't break up as well.) Add the butter, a chunk at a time, beating just until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture is light in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Continuing to beat on medium speed, drizzle in the egg mixture. Mix in the orange zest and poppy seeds. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, stirring after each until incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake until the tops of the cakes spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool while you make the glaze.
To make the glaze, in a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, orange juice and sugar.
Place the wire rack holding the cakes over a sheet of waxed paper or aluminum foil. Invert the cakes onto the rack and place top side up. Brush the warm cakes with the glaze. Let the cakes cool completely on the rack, then cut into slices and serve. Makes 2 pound cakes.

November 2016
The topic of attracting young employees has been popular in the news and has employers mostly puzzled on what millennials really want. While some companies renovate their offices to make them feel more like college campuses, other employers are placing their focus on exposure to students before they make a decision to work anywhere.
While university recruiting has been around for quite some time, employers are stepping their game up by immersing students into their work environment and hosting competitions for students on their brand.
"I see companies treating recruitment as an investment rather than a purchase," said Lukas Pesa, Founder of Lukas Pesa Consultation, a speaking and consultancy business helping companies trying to reach millennials. "Instead of waiting for an immediate need to hire someone before beginning the process of relationships building, companies are being more proactive in building relationships with potential candidates before there is a job available. This allows them to find more compatible candidates that are more likely to remain at the organization longer, reducing turnover costs."
Inviting Students To The Company For Immersion
In his work with companies trying to relate to millennials, Pesa found that some companies are inviting students to speaking engagements at their offices.
"Instead of just giving a background of the industry and the company, companies are giving students practical exercises to work on that pertain to their specific industry and the jobs these millennials will have," Pesa shares. "It allows companies to see which students are most compatible with their brand values."
An example of this type of activity is when a tech company holds a hackathon. The host company stands to gain exposure to talented technical students and a jump-start on innovative ideas their employees don't have time to tackle. Students, on the other hand, can get exposure to the company culture and opportunities that exist there. It makes recruiting far more integrated beyond stuffy interview questions.
Corporate Competitions In University
Another relatively new approach to integrating millennials into existing company brands is to hold student competitions. The L'Oreal Brandstorm Competition is a great example of how a competition opens the doors to the next generation of employees.
"The idea was to share our expertise and help students further develop both personal and professional skills throughout the competition," said Carole Pasco–Domergue, Chief Marketing Officer for HR at L'Oreal, a beauty company. "Of course, Brandstorm has always been a key tool to spot our future talents from all around the globe."
The competition created a win-win situation for both L'Oreal and the participating students. L'Oreal is able to have a front row seat to millennial talent, while partnering with them to continue innovating their brand.
"Brandstorm generates fresh perspectives and inspiration on the challenges our teams have to tackle every day," shared Pasco-Domergue. "We almost see it as an incubator for talents and projects."
Meanwhile, students are exposed to real-world projects and get an inside look at a potential employer.
"By joining us, students embark on a unique six month innovation journey that is maybe as valuable as a first professional experience," continued Pasco-Domergue. "Every year over 200 students who have participated in the competition join us for internships, apprenticeships, or full-time positions."
While L'Oreal's competition is fairly unique to their company, there are other competitions, such as the Collegiate Effie, that operate in much the same fashion, but involves different companies and brands from year to year.
The Collegiate Effie brings together teams of students from different universities, allowing them to compete on a marketing brand challenge. The benefits to the students are the exposure to real world marketing projects and potential to present to company decision makers.
Companies have been offering their brands for the Collegiate Effie because they are given all-access exposure to millennial ideas, preferences, and innovation to their product. An unwritten byproduct of this is that there is a potential for unofficial brand ambassadors for their products as these students share about their projects on social media.
Companies, or particular product lines, that have participated in past years are Kleenex (Kimberly-Clark), V8 (Campbell's Soup), Target, MINI USA, U by Kotex, and others.
These competitions and integration with a company or brand are in alignment with the millennial desire to have a voice and be included. They want to be a part of the conversation and these hackathons and competitions have given them that opportunity.
Millennials have done away with following tradition, in almost every arena of life. It's no surprise that their approach to employers is nontraditional as well. Companies are adapting and finding creative ways to attract talent, while giving themselves the exposure to hand pick the best of the crop.

I am wondering if the Orencia makes it harder to lose the weight. I am so sick of these drugs and what they have done to my body. I almost feel it is not worth it.
Before using orencia my dr had me on Enbrel which put a lot of weight on me?

Weight gain is not a not a known side effect of Orencia ... but I'm not sure if it'll help with losing the weight that you have gained from using Enbrel.
However, if you have sudden weight loss while on Orencia then please see your doctor ... it could be a serious side effect.
Hello neckroll, & welcome to the site. You did not give much information as to why you are taking these drugs or any other meds you may also be taking. My husband takes Enbrel for severe psoriasis & it has done a wonderful job in controlling his outbreaks & his arthritic psoriasisl He has not gained any weight from it at all. Everyone is different & reacts differently to each & every drug, but excessive weight gain is listed as a serious side effect from from taking Enbrel. I am giving you a link to read about both Enbrel & Orencia at the bottom of this note. Please read them thoroughly. Orencia does not list weight gain as a side effect. It could be the weight you have gained through diet & exercise can be lost without any problems. If you are taking these drgs for RA, I believe it is very important that you try to give them a chance to see if they can help you. Wishing you the best...

Vitamin D Deficiency including Osteomalacia and Rickets - Symptoms
Patient is a certified member of
The Information Standard
Reviewed by:
Prof Cathy Jackson, 04 May 2017
What are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency?
Many people have no symptoms, or may complain of only vague ones such as tiredness or general aches. Because symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are often very nonspecific or vague, the problem is often missed. The diagnosis is more easily reached in severe deficiencies with some of the classical (typical) symptoms and bone deformities.
Symptoms in babies
Babies with severe vitamin D deficiency can get cramps (muscle spasms), fits (seizures) and breathing (respiratory) difficulties. These problems are related to consequent low levels of calcium.
Symptoms in children
- Children with severe deficiency may have soft skull or leg bones. Their legs may look curved (bow-legged). They may also complain of bone pains, often in the legs, and muscle pains or muscle weakness. This condition is known as rickets.
- Poor growth. Height is usually affected more than weight. Affected children might be reluctant to start walking.
- Tooth delay. Children with vitamin D deficiency may be late teething, as the development of the milk teeth has been affected.
- Irritability in children can be due to vitamin D deficiency.
- Children with vitamin D deficiency are more prone to infections. Breathing symptoms can occur in severe cases. Breathing can be affected because of weak chest muscles and a soft rib cage.
- When rickets is very severe, it can cause low levels of calcium in the blood. This can lead to muscle cramps, fits and breathing difficulties. These need urgent hospital treatment.
- Rarely, an extremely low vitamin D level can cause weakness of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy).
Symptoms in adults
- Some people complain of a general tiredness, vague aches and pains and a general sense of not being well.
- In more severe deficiency (known as osteomalacia), there may be more severe pain and also weakness. Muscle weakness may cause difficulty in climbing stairs or getting up from the floor or a low chair, or can lead to the person walking with a waddling pattern.
- Bones can feel painful to moderate pressure (often more noticeable in the ribs or shin bones). Not uncommonly, people have a hairline fracture in the bone which is causing tenderness and pain. Bone pain often also occurs in the lower back, hips, pelvis, thighs and feet.

Columbia County commissioners likely will impose a moratorium on apartment rezonings during a 6 p.m. meeting today.
Lasting between three months to a year, the moratorium was requested last week by commission Chairman Ron Cross during a Development Services Committee meeting. The intent of the moratorium is to give county officials time to revise ordinances regarding multi-family housing.
Revisions might include maximum density, parking regulations and design characteristics, according to county documents.
Mr. Cross request followed much recent debate concerning site plan revisions for Marshall Square. Developers for the 47-acre property on Evans Town Center Boulevard had proposed an apartment density far greater than the 14 units per acre as allowed by law in other zonings. Commissioners shot down that portion of the revisions during a May 5 meeting and the developers have since suggested that they might abandon the project.
The debate highlighted the need for greater clarity in the law, especially where planned unit developments, like Marshall Square, are concerned, Mr. Cross said.
The moratorium is listed as a consent item on tonights meeting agenda, which means it is lumped in with numerous other items previously approved in committee. Typically, consent items are all approved with a single vote.
Tonights meeting will be held at the Evans Government Center, 630 Ronald Reagan Drive, Evans.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam's Death Forces Christian Reveal – Sharon Couples With Justin Hartley Replacement?. Hello friends, today this site want to share to you recent news of The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam's Death Forces Christian Reveal – Sharon Couples With Justin Hartley Replacement?, just look at right after it
The Young and the Restless (Y&R) Spoilers tease Adam's (Justin Hartley) exit from Genoa City and the consequences of this for Sharon, Christian's reveal and Chelsea's future. Chadam is no more now that Justin Hartley has quit Y&R and Adam is being treated as dead in Genoa City.
Assuming that Victor Junior rises again, fans will naturally wonder if Sharon (Sharon Case) will supplant Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) in short order? Such a development would enable Shadam's resurrection, which would reestablish one of the show's most electric power couples.
At some point Dylan (Steve Burton) must learn that Sully is actually Christian. When that happens he'll be devastated and leave Sharon. Sharon will be involuntarily freed from her marriage vows when Dylan discovers this life-changing secret.
No possible explanation can be offered that justifies Sharon's actions. Yes, she was initially an innocent victim of Dr. Anderson's (Elizabeth Bogush) baby swap. But, she later appeared to confirm through a paternity test that Sully was actually Sage's (Kelly Sullivan) child.
Sharon then opted to withhold that information from Sage and Nick (Joshua Morrow), who she believed to be Christian's father. Along with Adam and Sage, viewers learned that Christian is actually Adam's biological child.
Chelsea and Nick have grown closer during the past month on Y&R. Adam's wrongful incarceration unexpectedly drew Nick's compassion and allowed him to become more prevalent in Chelsea's life. Nick began visiting the brother who he previously rejected while Adam was behind bars.
During one of their Walworth meetings Adam asked Nick to look out for Connor (Gunner and Ryder Gadbois). At that time Adam anticipated remaining behind bars for up to 30 years for the murder of Constance Bingham (Sally Kellerman).
While evidence (Sage's real diary pages) later appeared that would have exonerated him, Adam blatantly attacked a prison guard while hallucinating and received another 10-year sentence.
Victor's (Eric Braeden) plot to help Chadam and their son escape justice went awry when Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) intervened. Adam's apparent death resulted when the cabin where he was staying exploded. That dramatic event clearly pushes Chick (Chelsea + Nick) into position as Y&R's next couple. Whenever Adam does return, Chelsea will likely have developed a new relationship with his half-brother.
So, Sharon seems certain to be single in the future. Adam will somehow return from the dead again, probably as a recast with plastic surgery necessitated by the cabin explosion. Both characters share an electric history and were often tagged as villains by many family members and so-called friends in the past. Soul mates of a certain type, Shadam will be primed to revive when the Adam recast is completed. Y&R devotees will anxiously await resulting havoc.

Always you are dropping bombs! This can be quite inconvenient.

i like how the bombs reflect bullets and aliens
and the aliens are really neat-looking

i made this game like a year ago as "FARMER JUDGE" or something but it didn't turn out nearly as good
did you use drum circle for the music?
The colours are pulled from the C64 palette, and yes, I used Drumcircle.
It really is basically FARMER JUDGE, isn't it? Huh.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Pat L
Review for Miracles In Action Inc, Naples, FL, USA
I am involved in multiple charities as the head of a school service learning group. Miracles in Action is truly one of my favorites. It meets all of the criteria that I demand of a group which I/we support. It is based on the needs of the population and has been able to do so, by finding out what is wanted by the population that MIA serves, and then working to meet that need. Monies raised are well managed- as seen by the numerous schools, water projects, stoves etc.

Last year Radiocrafts was selected by Texas Instruments as a 3rd-party provider of modules and engineering services for their low-power wireless products.

A new high power module at 2.45 GHz will be introduced, along with an all embedded ZigBee® Network Module and modules supporting the new 6LoWPAN standard.
These very cost competitive modules are easy to integrate into the end products, giving customers significantly shorter time-to-market, as well as a substantially lower total development cost. The modules are based on state-of-the art technology from TI.
"TI is very pleased to have Radiocrafts joining us at ESC as a module provider. Radiocrafts is a leading module supplier and has shown a strong commitment to TI through their wide range of modules based on our chipsets," said Mark Grazier, TI Low-Power RF Developer Network Manager.
"Radiocrafts is delighted to have this opportunity to present our products together with TI at ESC. We have worked closely with TI and Chipcon for many years and have based our world-leading products on their chipsets," said Peder Martin Evjen, Managing Director at Radiocrafts AS. "The modules are a great solution for all TI customers looking for wireless technology for their products without spending excessive time and money for RF development. By using off-the-shelf compact radio modules and professional engineering services, our customers can focus on their main business of getting products to market faster."
Radiocrafts will have a short product presentation at 12:30 AM on April 17, at ESC.

Psa 3:8
Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah.
Sunshine in the placid sky,
fresh-plucked olive leaf in mouth,
the rocks' jaws' gaping teeth are worn flat,
the sea's mouth robbed; landfall on Ararat.
East, West, spreading, North and South;
rainbow colours; 'Multiply!'
Sound of victory — a sigh,
shoot of life from sapling death.
The counsel of the wise to silence brought,
the bite of lion's whelp amounts to nought.
Wind of change is dying breath.
Life is hard and then you die.
Risen at the break of day
and still, 'The Way,' 'The Life,' 'The Truth.'
The unchewed cud is bursting from its gut
the ungnawed bone has not had time to rot.
Eagle's flight renews his youth,
counterpoint of 'Gone away.'
I suspect that I ought to give my friend Guy Davies the credit for the last line in the second verse since I think that that's the outline for a sermon he gave while a student 16 years ago. That's how I remember it anyway. The middle lines of the last verse are just about the most vivid I've ever written and I hope they are not thought to be inappropriate descriptions of the resurrection.

One more thing, it is well known that water softeners remove minerals from
water. Water softeners have been repeatedly indicated to be a cause of sudden heart attacks, due to lack of calcium and magnesium. (They usually blame sodium.) One researcher concluded, "Health education could be used to discourage the use of water softeners to treat water used for drinking and cooking."267 What about all the other minerals? Zinc, for growing young men, chromium for the young pancreas trying to keep up with all the sugar, calcium for bones, teeth, and muscles, and all the rest-gone with the water softener. Who cares out there?
Back to TMJ syndrome. Considering all of the above, one component of TMJ
syndrome was not mentioned: the pterygoid muscles. There are two pterygoids
involved with each jaw joint, and they are difficult to get at. In my opinion, the relaxation of the pterygoid muscles is a big key to muscle relaxer success. Th e pterygoids can develop trigger points inside their muscle bellies and become spastic.
One way to stretch them is to bite on your finger(s) with your fingertip back behind your last molars. Therefore, instead of biting your fingertip, you will be "gumming" your finger tip. When the jaw closes, the pterygoids are exposed, and you know it by the pain they produce when stretched/challenged by your fingertips. When you are in this position, push your fingertip up and back into the soft, tender tissue.
Stretch it as much as you can stand without injuring yourself. When you are done,
you should notice immediate relief, maybe for good, maybe for just a while.
You can also reach the pterygoids with a coherent light. (Geez, I thought I would
never get to this.)
267 Magnesium deficiency and sudden death

Yeah I still post here and there. I'm a lot busier these days with work and quite frankly the arguing in the Cubs forum gets old because it's the same tired conversations over and over. If the Sabermetrics forum was more active I'd post there a lot more because those kinds of discussions are more intriguing to me.
Was wondering if there was going to be a MLB mock offseason soon? I remember last year it was around this time.
Thanks sir,
But see, it's less about being "liked" by mods than being in agreement with them. It is my contention that you have single handedly chased a large swath of PSDers from the MLB forum because you persecute those who don't follow your dogma. It would be an interesting poll for sure, as I have spoken to many others about this. But since you don't have the rocks to ensure it wouldn't be deleted immediately, I guess I'll have to let it go.
I would like to make a thread asking for opinions on your job as a mod and whether or not you have pushed a large amount of people away from the MLB forum because of your tendency toward acting like the "thought police." Will you agree to not be Orwellian and ban me immediately for asking this completely honest question?

Hey Jeffy,
I have a baseball question and don't really want to make a thread on it. How come in 2002 Miguel Tejada won the AL MVP, just looking at numbers Rodriguez, Giambi, Thome were all up there as well. Just curious if there was something more going on at that time and if the team record really had that much weight in MVP voting Wasn't really big in to baseball until mid-2000's, so a little before my time.
Yea, its looking like Manea or Appel at this point. Agreed on the rivalry. Its so much better when we play for something.
Thanks for the words. Almora and Baez certainly are nice pieces.. Hopefully we can add some more.

In May we interviewed Justin Canning, who organized Operation Freesheet in London. His group did a "walkabout" in London on Wednesday, June 13, and collected 1,500 papers. He provided us with this picture that shows some of the papers he and other volunteers found.
"And really we could have picked up many more," Canning told free-daily.com. "But we ran out of bags, and they were getting too heavy for us anyway. The papers were picked off the street, the bins, the tube (the subway system) -- just everywhere! Really, London between the hours of 4 and 7 is awash with free papers."
- Editorial: Even if you don't sympathize with environmentalists, wasting papers is bad for business. It's expensive, it undermines advertiser confidence and it leaves us open to bad publicity. Most newspapers are sophisticated enough to monitor how many papers are picked up at each location to ensure there is no waste. Sometimes new papers have trouble determining how many to leave, and where to leave them. We all need to do a better job reducing waste in order to avoid more pictures like this in future.

SDLP candidate tells of threats while out canvassing
An SDLP candidate has hit out at a "vicious" campaign of abuse against him and party colleagues who are on the election trail.
Daniel McCrossan, SDLP candidate for West Tyrone, said he had endured "brutal" online abuse after taking a week off to deal with the death of his grandfather.
"My car's been followed, with photos of it posted online which is a bit of a danger for me being on the policing board," he told the Belfast Telegraph.
"Activists from other campaigns have called me a scumbag and said they would 'deal with me in the way that they see fit.' It's been very nasty."
He added that one of his female campaigners had been verbally abused in Castlederg while out canvassing.
Speaking about his grandfather, he said: "It was very sudden and a big shock, he was a young granddad. The abuse I was taking on social media was real brutal stuff.
"I wasn't going to say anything but last week was the tipping point. We were in a shop while out canvassing and this bald headed guy was really forceful and intimidating, looking for a reaction out of me which he didn't get. He said we would get our comeuppance and his words were, 'We have a way of dealing with boys like you'.
"It's not the type of thing you expect when you're out knocking doors.
"My concern isn't so much for my safety, it's what I signed up to. But I will not allow any of my staff or volunteers to be verbally abused in any way."
Independent candidate for West Tyrone Susan Anne White has also reported receiving online abuse this year including a death threat on social media.
"I don't condone death threats against anybody," said Mr McCrossan.

Hello All. I am very new in the field of IT. I do know the basics of Visual Basic and C Language. I have a passion to become a DBA but just wanted to know how can I proceed? I do not even know the basics of Database except tables, rows, columns etc. What are the steps to followed first? Where to start and how?
