Brought to You by Benelli USA
Most waterfowlers tote ultra-reliable semi-auto shotguns to the marsh or pit, and for good reason. Those repeaters let you double or even triple on ducks or geese in willing flocks.
Of course, for those guns to work their magic, you must first do your part. Here's a quick guide to getting the most out of your three shells.
One First
Waterfowlers should concentrate on making clean killing shots with their first shell. Whatever happens afterward depends on the circumstances, but you cannot double or triple if you don't connect with round No. 1. This sounds simple, yet we sometimes fail at this. Make the first round count with these tips.
Be you: One-shot kills are far easier when you identify the best opportunity. That's easy when you're hunting alone or only one bird decoys. The process becomes more complicated when two or more hunters prepare to cut into a flock. Don't worry about anyone else in the pit or blind. You cannot control where their shots will fly. Identify a duck or goose that's in your zone of fire (the far right bird when you're on the right side of the blind, for example), and concentrate on it. However, keep an eye out for other possibilities, as your ideal target might flare hard when the guns go off, or another bird might switch positions with your bird in mid-air.
Envision the shot: This goes hand in hand with No. 1. Anticipate how your ideal target will approach, set up and then behave at the moment of truth. Then visualize how you will react to and shoot at the bird.
Of course, even decoying birds don't always follow the playbook, and even seemingly easy shots can get crazy if your blind-mates shoot early. Again, be ready to respond to whatever your target bird does, whether it lands, flares high or puts on the afterburners. That's basic wing-shooting. Still, we sometimes forget those fundamentals when the shot we expected morphs into a different target.
Take your time, if possible: This is where most of us goof up, especially when hunting with a group. We're excited to capitalize on a good opportunity or a bit antsy because we anticipate that our buddies will shoot before we do, so we rush our first shot.
Slow down. Keep your wits, and take an extra split second to ensure that you're locked onto the best target and use sound shooting form. Resist temptation to snap-shoot at the bird (unless it's necessary for a quick-moving target), and don't worry about firing first. Just focus on your shot.
Read, react, follow through: Again, this is nothing more than basic wing-shooting. Focus hard on your target, let your hand-eye coordination dictate your mount and lead, and then follow through. And swing hard. That should be habit forged by round after round of skeet, trap or sporting clays in the off-season.
Worry about No. 2 (and 3) later: We get greedy now and then and think about doubling or tripling before we have the first bird on the ground. Avoid this common pitfall, and concentrate on the best first shot. Sure, identify opportunities for doubles and triples, but keep those in the back of your mind until your initial round connects.
Take 2 (or 3)
When your first shot connects and the stars align, opportunities at doubles or even triples seem easy. Usually, however, shooting multiple birds requires forethought, strategy and quick reflexes honed by shotgunning practice. These hints can help.
Prepare: This is Hunting 101 stuff, but to double in the field, you must practice at the range. Shoot at sporting clays ranges that offer lots of true pairs, and get used to the sight picture and body motion required to take doubles. Take the same attitude into the dove fields before waterfowl season, and hone your doubling and tripling skills.
Anticipate: Watch incoming birds intently to gauge how they might decoy. Note how they approach against the wind, and judge their body language. If they seem relaxed and content, they might put their feet down and sail right into your decoys. Birds that appear antsy, however, might merely streak overhead or past your blocks. You can still kill more than one, but you have to be ready for quick shots.
Another hint: Check your foot position before birds arrive. Right-handed shooters want their left foot pointing where they intend to shoot the first target. Twisting left or right against your body is a good way to miss three shots, not double.
Choose targets — but be ready: As birds approach, pick out your likely first target. Avoid temptation to take the candy bird — one that inevitably decoys closer and sooner than others. Better, focus on a slightly more difficult target and then switch to the easier bird after killing the first. For example, if bluebills decoy left to right against a stiff southerly breeze, focus first on a drake farther back in the pack, and then pull up on the lead bird. Or, when honkers float in from straight downwind, swing on a hovering bird 35 yards out before going to the front goose.
One caveat: Ducks and geese often do the old switch-a-roo as they decoy. The lead bird might slow down, and one or two others will pass it. Be ready for this, and adjust your target choice accordingly.
Shoot one first: As mentioned, you can't kill two or three birds unless you kill one first. You'll naturally think double when flocks decoy, and that makes it easy to miss. I can't tell you how often I've shot holes in the air between a dozen or more buffleheads or teal. Basically, I got greedy and didn't focus on the initial opportunity. (Hint: It's far easier to double on a pair or small group of ducks or geese than with a large flock.)
Concentrate hard on making that first shot. Focus like a laser on the initial bird, and block out thoughts of others until that bird is down. Your peripheral vision and reflexes will let you get on another target. If you planned your shot progression well, the second opportunity will seem instinctive. And if birds decoyed close or you're a quick shot, you might have a chance for three.
Finish strong: Dropping two or three birds usually spurs a celebration, but don't be too quick with the high-fives. Reload quickly, and dispatch any cripples on the water. Nothing ruins a great shooting opportunity like losing a duck or goose.
This is especially important with diving ducks because … well, they dive — especially after being shot. When the action stops, review the scene to mark your birds. Shoot any duck that pops its head up. Keep shooting until it's finished. If you can't mark all the ducks, it's a good bet that one already dove or swam into cover. Get your retriever on the job quickly, and keep watch for escaping cripples slinking along the water's surface.
Once, Twice or Thrice
Make every shot count this season. Sound preparation, anticipation and execution will let you make the most of good opportunities. Will you make hay on every flock? No. But maximizing more opportunities can boost your season and turn so-so days into memorable events.

Have you ever logged off of Instagram feeling like everybody else's life is more interesting than yours? Or maybe you're fed up with the time-sucking drama that is your Facebook feed.
You're not alone.
I talk with a lot of women who are disgusted with certain aspects of social media, yet they stick with it for fear of missing out—and for good reason. Lots of schools, clubs and business training groups use Facebook as their primary hub of communication. Ditch it, and you might as well dig yourself a hole to live in.
But social media has a bright side, too. Recently on The Better Mom, I shared five ways women can use social media for good. I hope you'll take a minute to read them—and join me in harnessing social media for the love of God.
I'll see you there!

What was the biggest customer service debacle of the year? And what retail brand won their customers' hearts by eliminating one of their most profitable product lines? Businesses looking to strengthen customer loyalty initiatives this year should take a look at 2014's successes and failures in customer experience. From social-media meltdowns to brilliant, risky marketing moves, the year was full of both destructive and triumphant events that either built up or destroyed the relations between brands and their customers.
We asked some of the top #CX thought leaders and even a few outspoken consumers to cite events from the past year that were extreme in the sense that they heavily impacted customer loyalty for the business(es) involved. And the experts also weighed in on the lessons that other businesses can extract from both the greatest successes as well as the most notable failures in customer experience.
1. Be human
One way for corporations to lose customers is to treat people like data. A recent poll conducted by SAP & Ipsos reported that 48 percent of consumers reported that brands were too slow or never replied to their emails. These folks- dubbed the "Ignored" customers- appear to be a growing faction whose concerns and queries go unresolved by brands.
Doug Levy, the author of "Can't Buy Me Like," cites United Airlines' boilerplate apology to a customer (who posted the letter on Reddit) as an egregious example of the impersonal touch.
The letter read, in part: "Your comments regarding [SPECIFIC EVENT] will be used for coaching and training our employees."
A big part of retaining customers is showing you care, says Janet Wagner, director of the Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland's Smith School of Business.
"Customer service is a very personal thing, not an algorithm," says Wagner, who singled out Facebook's disliked Year In Review feature.
The slideshow option compiled snapshots from 2014's big moments, based on the number of comments and likes on a user's photos.
But some users relived unwelcome reminders about lost loved ones and tragedies.
"That's the kind of thing that happens when companies … depend on algorithms," Wagner says.
2. Invest in future wins
"The biggest customer service debacle of the year" belongs to Comcast, says Shep Hyken, author of "The Loyal Customer."
An excruciating eight-minute audio of Ryan Block trying to cancel his Comcast service quickly went viral. The Comcast rep keeps asking Block why he wants to drop Comcast.
It truly illustrated the plight of the Ignored consumer, whose requests simply were not being heard or accepted.
Hyken believes companies should think more about making people happy, even if it means losing sales in the short run.
"I want [customers] to know I'm a good guy and more interested in their success than me making a sale," Hyken says. "When they do that, eventually the sale is going to come."
3. Values are valuable
CVS Health made a big move in October when it ended the sale of cigarettes in the chain's 7,600 stores nationwide. It was a "bold decision" and a strong statement about the brand's identity, says Levy. "It said: We're a company that cares about health."
Despite taking cigarette sales out of their stores, CVS Health reported an increase in revenue of 9.7 percent in the company's fourth quarter compared to the same period a year ago. They were clearly tapping into what SAP has dubbed "the Virtuous" consumer whose personal values align with those of a brand. According to a 2014 poll by SAP and Ipsos, 30% of consumers polled cited shared values as a top 3 reason for brand loyalty.
By the same token, demonstrations of shady behavior work against a brand, says Hyken, who cites Uber, which suffered after reports of a senior exec's suggestion that the company dig up dirt on its media critics. Shortly after that, it was revealed that the company implemented "surge" price hikes during December's Sydney hostage incident. Calls to boycott Uber sprung up worldwide.
4. Social media is serious business
In the digital age, customer engagement is easier than ever, but that can make customer interactions a minefield, says Hyken.
Better employee training on how to respond to social media could have helped Southwest Airlines avoid one turbulent situation this year.
The airline booted Duff Watson, an "A-list Preferred Member," and his family off a flight after he tweeted: "RUDEST AGENT IN DENVER. KIMBERLY S. GATE C39. NOT HAPPY @SWA." Watson was miffed that his children weren't allowed to join him in the priority line. There was no profanity or threat, but crew still saw fit to remove Watson for his tweet.
"That was mishandled," says Hyken, noting that Watson was one of the airline's Invested customers (those who, in the SAP schema, follow alerts and interact with brands). "We're going to need training for staff to resolve social-media issues like this."
5. Brand equity
Apple devotees love their devices' design and style, but even some of the most Virtuous users didn't love it when the tech giant downloaded U2's newest album, "Songs of Innocence," to their devices without consent.
If good customer experience is personal, as Wagner says, then pushing the Irish band's album into 500 million iTunes accounts was highly presumptuous.
Fortunately for Apple, the brand had built up enough goodwill to weather the storm and retain their already loyal- or "Invested" customers.
In the end, says Wagner, Apple "has such strong brand equity that their customers forgave them."

Humans have lived at the Cape for a long time. Recent research suggests that humans nearly went extinct about 100 000 years ago, but a small population of about 9 000 survived on the south coast of South Africa, living on the resources of the Cape. All modern humans are descended from this little band: the African Eve.
The Cape has also been crucial for the survival of our plants and animals. The Cape Floral Kingdom is the smallest and richest plant kingdom in the world. The Cape Peninsula, in particular, is exceptionally species-rich, with about 2 500 species. It is a biodiversity hot spot with many endemic species that cannot be conserved anywhere else on earth.
The Cape Peninsula has therefore been proclaimed a World Heritage Site. The areas most affected by change are the lowlands such as the Cape Flats, especially the sand fynbos – once the most widespread veld type in the city. A few gems remain: Rondebosch Common with its wonderful spring bulb and annual displays; the Racecourses of Kenilworth, Milnerton and Durbanville still containing pockets of what once occurred over the Cape Flats. Together these conserve only 0.5 percent of the original area of Cape Flats Sand Fynbos. In the north, the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve conserves heavily alien-invaded sand fynbos, but enough survives to allow the area to be restored.
Imagine the surprise of conservation planners when a little fire in 1998 at the Tokai plantation resulted in the emergence, phoenix-style, of several threatened plant species thought to be extinct in the area since the 1950s. Fynbos seedbanks had survived under the pines, and Tokai became one of the top biodiversity conservation priorities in Cape Town. Since 2005, as compartments were harvested, re-storation has been under way using fire to stimulate seed germination. Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden is assisting with restoration of some of the lost species.
By chance the Tokai area has another legacy unparalleled on the African continent. Around 1910, a leading spider authority, William Purcell retired to his family farm, Bergvliet, for convalescence. In the three years before his death, he recorded and collected all the plants on the farm – some 600 indigenous species, mainly from Cape Flats Sand Fynbos. That is a staggering quarter of all the species on the Cape Peninsula. Prominent among these are the suurings (Oxalis), heaths, ragworts (Sene-cio), tulips (Moraea), stone-crops (Crassula), Afrikaaners (Gladiolus), everlastings (Helichrysum) and geraniums (Pelargonium) – all of which have more than 10 species recorded.
Our Mother City has 13 plant species extinct, and 320 threatened with extinction. There are only six countries that have more threatened plants than Cape Town. The Mother City is the extinction capital of the world. Over one third of these species, live in the Cape Flats Sand Fynbos. It is more than plants: seven species of amphibians are threatened with extinction, including the leopard toad, microfrog (at Kenilworth), and rain frog. Reserves such as Tokai Park are their last refuge on earth.
The wheel has turned. Humans are no longer critically endangered. But the bulbs and other species that sustained us through our darkest hours are now under threat. Our generation has to make the decisions that will save these species or consign them to the dustbin of extinction.
Future generations will un-doubtable hold us responsible for our decision. Once they are gone, it is forever. It is now our turn to help save our Mother Flora.

How modern technology can help your business's security
Security within any business is a big thing, having as much technology as possible to protect every aspect of your business is not a bad thing in fact, there is nothing better than a combination of modern technology and the more traditional methods to keep your business, employees, and customers safe from criminals wishing to gain access to the information that you hold.
Facial recognition or fingerprint identity
Using state-of-the-art facial recognition or fingerprint identity technology will certainly help with your business's security. Using facial recognition to verify your employees and watch where they are going and what they are doing is one thing but using this software to make your security even better is when it flags up that there are either unrecognized people on-site or that your workers are up to no good.
Image Source: Pixabay
This is where it is a good idea to install fingertip identity readers for entry into certain areas of your business, such as those that hold personal and private data. Swipe cards can be lost or stolen, keycodes can be watched and remembered, but fingerprint identification has to be with that one person, which makes it more secure.
Dispersing groups of youths
Regardless of whether or not a gang of youths has any design or intention in your business, either by breaking in or damaging it or for that matter are just having a good time with their friends, having them hanging around the outside of your business premises is less than desirable.
You can try to make the area as less enticing as you possibly can, but the chances are that they have chosen that spot because it is within easy reach of all of their homes and that they have not been moved on.
For fear of your business and the premises that you either own or rent getting damaged, you probably do not want to confront them, which is totally understandable. Indeed, large groups of people, regardless of age, can be intimidating as they will not necessarily act the same as they would if any of the individuals were on their own.
This is when you need a mosquito speaker from mosquitoloiteringsolutions.com, which emits a high-pitched frequency that may not bother or even be heard by most age groups but can be heard by those in their teens. This will cause the group to find new meeting grounds that aren't near or around your business premises and will therefore give you peace of mind.
Cyber security
Investing in good quality software such as anti-virus software and a firewall will indeed help to protect your business against criminals getting a foothold within your files, however, enlisting the help and services of an experienced and fully qualified IT Business that focuses heavily on cybersecurity will improve your cybersecurity.
Businesses that focus heavily on cybersecurity are on the ball when it comes to knowing what moves the cybercriminals are likely to take, meaning as IT Businesses deal with many customers and not just one, they are more likely to see trends than just you workingon your business on your own. They will also be able to act fast should you fall victim to a cybersecurity attack and get your files and your software back up and running quickly.

I'm sorry, I can't bear to read this...
....I can just picture it all in reality too easily.
What is a vanguard role? It means taking the lead - Enver Hoxha Enterpreneurs!! Imagineers!! Emergent social nodes!! I bring you great news. A New Britain is emerging - thanks to Conservative 2.0 and its Digital by Default thinking. The old elites based on profits, exports and industry and R&D are falling by the wayside as a …
I demand this column be ran weekly. How else can I deal with coder and nontrepeneur BS I encounter on a daily basis (not to mention small business owners who think tweeting makes them techies).
Can convey collected coronet copious chalky characterized compounds compensating conducive coca contemplations' contemporaneous comity.
<- understands the power of the white (unlike you not so humble poster who prefers "natural" substances delivered through volcanic means)
if the Tories tried to get Britain into a situation where REAL jobs were created, they'd get a bashing at the hands of the leftie-pseudo-intelligentsia calling them Nazis for questioning minimum wages, working hour directives, cutting benefits and so on.
The Tories are trapped in a world where they have to buy into this BS because the press won't let them really push through the changes needed to get us out of the borrow('invest')now.and hope something profitable turns up later syndrome promoted by our previous overlords. Democracy is great, innit?
I don't think we can solve the UK's economic problems by getting people to work longer for less money; that sounds like a race to the bottom.
Cutting benefits sounds like a great idea, until the people at the bottom of the pile realise they have nothing to lose. There are plenty of dishonest benefits claimants in the UK, but their petty crimes aren't responsible for the mess we're in; starving the poorest in society to pay for the crimes of the greedy rich isn't going to make you better off.
Democracy is a great idea when it's one person one vote; but we seem to have weighted voting based on how much you've managed beg, borrow, or steal.
Race to the bottom, or simply facing reality rather than blowing the smoke up our asses with pipedream platitudes.
Love your comment about one person one vote. I assume of course you mean the benefit spongers who still vote for council tax increases year on year without putting anything back in?
You snuck some ludicrous fake actor - ridiculous foppy floppy hair with baldness-concealment scrapeover, yellow 'I'm so tech' robot badge, wacko sub-Russell Mael choice in jacket fabric - clearly too cliched to be a real tech person, or even a real person - and fooled the PM into believing that the class clown was of some technological and/or business merit.
How the hell did you do it?
She has literally clawed her way from side to side at the top, like some kind of digital lady crab.
Lovely image. I'm sure I will be using that "clawed ... from side to side" (properly attributed, natch) in the future.
And "Chillaxing Phoenix"? More like "Chillaxing Joaquin Phoenix", am I right?

The emotional rollercoaster can be treacherous in early recovery but there are things that the individual can do to make the ride easier including:
* Attendance at a recovery group can be a great way to get support and advice during the early months of recovery. Here the newly sober individual can spend time with other people who have dealt with same challenges. Not only will they find support but also practical advice.
* Regular attendance with a therapist or addiction specialist can help the individual to talk about their problems and learn new ways of dealing with strong emotions.
* Guilt can be extremely destructive in early recovery. The most important thing is to focus on the future and not on the past. The fact that the individual is putting their addiction behind them means that they are on the right track. Once the person has made it through early recovery they can then start thinking about making amends. They have the rest of their life do this. Guilt is one of the main relapse triggers so it should be avoided.
* Medical advice should only be taking seriously if the person giving it is qualified to do so. If people are concerned about their emotional or mental health they should speak to a professional. It could be that they have an undiagnosed mental health condition. They will only be able to resolve this situation by getting the proper medical treatment. Failure to do so could be putting their recovery in jeopardy.

Gallery Luisotti is pleased to announce its upcoming group exhibition, When we were young. The exhibition features some of the earliest works ever produced by gallery artists John Divola, Christina Fernandez, Ron Jude, Mark Ruwedel and Catherine Wagner. A working through of concerns of the photographic medium in roughly the years 1970-1985/2010 is visible in the artists' varied approaches. Individually, the works in the exhibition interrogate the notion of photograph as document, about the gaps inherent to narrative, and images existing not for a market, but for dialogue and contemplation as strategies to move individual practices and the photographic medium forward. The exhibition has the benefit of retrospectively looking at past moments of artistic success and placing them on a larger trajectory of artistic mastery. As Harvard professor Sarah Lewis writes in her recent book, The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery:
Mastery requires endurance. Mastery, a word we don't use often, is not the equivalent of what we might consider its cognate—perfectionism—an inhuman aim motivated by a concern with how others view us. Mastery is also not the same as success—an event-based victory based on a peak point, a punctuated moment in time. Mastery is not merely a commitment to a goal, but to a curved-line, constant pursuit.
The exhibited photographs were originally intended for varied and at times ambiguous contexts. Some, such as Divola's application (1970-71) to the MFA program at UCLA, would have only been seen by himself, those around him with whom he chose to share it, and the committee of professors supervising admissions. Similarly, Fernandez's gelatin silver prints made from spliced-together negatives showing herself and children who lived in her apartment building were made as an undergraduate at UCLA, but already manifest her concerns with identity and self-representation. Only a single heated group critique bore witness to her small color photographs of cards identifying farm worker and sharecropper pesticide victims. Emmett, a series of snapshots by a teenaged Ron Jude, is an example of appropriation that uses photographic material from the artist's earlier life, in this case a non-art context. The naïveté present causes tension as soon as the works are made larger and polished 30 years after the fact.
The works on view by Ruwedel and Wagner speak to nascent mastery—literally their university-sanctioned Master of Fine Arts degrees—by foreshadowing ideas that remain present in their practices today. Ruwedel's Evans Street is filled with the kind of art historical reference points and personal affect that mark his later work. Wagner's California Landscapes commences an indexing of the land's idiosyncrasies: ripped window screens, tattered and dirty draped cloth, buildings being built, buildings falling apart. Wagner continues to seek out these quirks of the built environment and social systems.
Taking the broader view from five particular moments in these artists' lives, one sees not so much a concern with success as defined above, but in taking the road less traveled towards mastery.

Our Christmas Mission
We have, through the grace of God, been continuing our mission trips to San Nicolas, Guatemala. God is doing His work there! We had a great trip in June and have another planned for December. By the way, if you have not yet seen our 2021 video on Mision Floresco, please take a look here.
Each December trip (this will be our fourth!), we give a canasta to each of the families of San Nicolas. A canasta is a Christmas basket. In the past they have included food items such as rice, beans, pasta, and eggs, as well as Christmas goodies. The families have been filled with incredible gratitude at the reception of these Christmas canastas.
This year, we will be continuing our tradition of giving each family a canasta; however, we have felt the Lord calling us to go a step further. For the first time, each canasta, in addition to food and gift products, will contain a Holy Bible–so that just as the Word of God came into the world on the first Christmas, the word of God will enter the world of San Nicolas this Christmas! Also for the first time, we are asking the body of Christ to lovingly support the families of San Nicolas in one of the following ways:
- Write a letter to a family to be included in their canasta. If you do not speak Spanish, no worries–we will translate it for you. The letter can be as short or long as you wish. The main idea is to let them know that the mission team is larger than those they meet, that there are real individuals over here who care about them and are praying for them. If you would like to write a letter, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. One way to personalize your letter would be to include a picture of you and/or your family so they have a face to put to the name on your letter. You could also ask for their prayers, which will let them know that they have something important to give as well! (Letters must be received by December 1st.)
- Sponsor a Bible or a canasta. $4 covers the cost of one Bible. $20 covers the cost of an entire canasta for a family. If you'd like to give even more, your $100 gift would provide canastas to five families. To donate visit flourishyourfaith.org/donate.
Thank you so much for supporting our December 2021 trip to San Nicolas! Even if you are unable to participate in one of these ways, please continue to pray for our mission team and for the families of San Nicolas. Thank you very much for your prayers and support.

Today we'll look at Atul Ltd (NSE:ATUL) and reflect on its potential as an investment. To be precise, we'll consider its Return On Capital Employed (ROCE), as that will inform our view of the quality of the business.
First, we'll go over how we calculate ROCE. Then we'll compare its ROCE to similar companies. Last but not least, we'll look at what impact its current liabilities have on its ROCE.
Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)
ROCE measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. In general, businesses with a higher ROCE are usually better quality. In brief, it is a useful tool, but it is not without drawbacks. Renowned investment researcher Michael Mauboussin has suggested that a high ROCE can indicate that 'one dollar invested in the company generates value of more than one dollar'.
So, How Do We Calculate ROCE?
Analysts use this formula to calculate return on capital employed:
Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets – Current Liabilities)
Or for Atul:
0.16 = ₹4.0b ÷ (₹30b – ₹5.7b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2018.)
Therefore, Atul has an ROCE of 16%.
See our latest analysis for Atul
Is Atul's ROCE Good?
One way to assess ROCE is to compare similar companies. It appears that Atul's ROCE is fairly close to the Chemicals industry average of 16%. Separate from Atul's performance relative to its industry, its ROCE in absolute terms looks satisfactory, and it may be worth researching in more depth.
As we can see, Atul currently has an ROCE of 16%, less than the 28% it reported 3 years ago. Therefore we wonder if the company is facing new headwinds.
Remember that this metric is backwards looking – it shows what has happened in the past, and does not accurately predict the future. ROCE can be misleading for companies in cyclical industries, with returns looking impressive during the boom times, but very weak during the busts. ROCE is only a point-in-time measure. Since the future is so important for investors, you should check out our free report on analyst forecasts for Atul.
Do Atul's Current Liabilities Skew Its ROCE?
Liabilities, such as supplier bills and bank overdrafts, are referred to as current liabilities if they need to be paid within 12 months. Due to the way the ROCE equation works, having large bills due in the near term can make it look as though a company has less capital employed, and thus a higher ROCE than usual. To check the impact of this, we calculate if a company has high current liabilities relative to its total assets.
Atul has total liabilities of ₹5.7b and total assets of ₹30b. Therefore its current liabilities are equivalent to approximately 19% of its total assets. Low current liabilities are not boosting the ROCE too much.
The Bottom Line On Atul's ROCE
With that in mind, Atul's ROCE appears pretty good. Atul shapes up well under this analysis, but it is far from the only business delivering excellent numbers . You might also want to check this free collection of companies delivering excellent earnings growth.

Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot told investors yesterday that the company is looking into changing the name of Rainbow Six Quarantine due to the negative connotations of the subtitle while the world is still in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic.
"We are creating a product that is actually… as it's named today, it is something we are evaluating and we'll see what comes in the future on [Rainbow Six Quarantine]," Guillemot said after being asked if he had considered delaying the game due to its name (h/t VGC).
When contacted by Kotaku for comment, an Ubisoft rep said the company had nothing to add to Guillemot's statement.
Although Rainbow Six Quarantine was first revealed at E3 2019, it began life as Pioneer, the doomed sci-fi project teased in Watch Dogs 2. Since then, the world has been engulfed in pandemic concerns due to the spread of covid-19, creating an awkward environment to release a game chiefly about the spread of an alien plague.
Ubisoft has yet to announce a release date for Rainbow Six Quarantine, but CFO Frédérick Duguet said during the same investor call that it is still planned for launch sometime this year.

Rolling Stones- Honky Tonk Women- London 3-14-71
Eras in music no more follow the calendar than Mother Nature does. Thus fifty years ago in mid-March 1971 the last live performance of the Sixties in effect may actually gone down when the Rolling Stones ended their brief Scottish/ English tour at London's The Roundhouse with this final performance of "Honky Tonk Women".
Mick Jagger (left), Mick Taylor, drummer Charlie WattsThen the Stones were UK tax exiles off to make their first post-Beatles era album in the Seventies, changing everything. For the first time, the resultant album Sticky Fingers would not in any way be cast in the long shadow of their rivals. It would be released on the band's own label imprint. Young guitar phenom Mick Taylor was by now fully integrated into a rapidly expanding band and would be utilized spectacularly on another batch of timeless songs, produced by American Jimmy Miller , who would turn out to be the Stones' secret weapon for this four album run.
After this performance at The Roundhouse, the Rolling Stones would record an album in Sticky Fingers fifty years ago that would sound better than any preceding Stones album and, notoriously then, be packaged more memorably ( thanks to the Andy Warhol artwork on the cover with actual working zipper, as well as the debut of easily the most famous band logo in history ) than practically anything in the following golden half-century of the Rolling Stones' reign as "World's Greatest Rock'n'Roll Band". –Redbeard

New Survey Provides Worrying News About Retirement Savings
Now that we seem to be emerging from the COVID-19 crisis – emphasis on "seem" – it is time for the retirement savings industry to begin the long process of assessing where things stand.
According to a new consumer survey, things are standing a little wobbly, as you would probably expect.
The survey, conducted by Voya Financial and released on April 26, 2021, found that nearly half (47%) of individuals who took a loan or withdrawal from their retirement plan, a traditional lender, or investments due to COVID-19, "agree or strongly agree" that they withdrew more than they needed.
Pre-pandemic we consistently cautioned against taking a "loan" or making an early withdrawal from one's retirement fund – not only because of the potential penalties involved, but also due to further loss of income through interest that could otherwise have been earned or, in the worst case, failure to "repay" those loans.
COVID-19, of course, brought unforeseen financial hardship to so many people and with it, new legislation loosening restrictions around accessing retirement savings.
Among its numerous provisions, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 allowed individuals to access the lesser of $100,000 or 100% of their retirement savings without being subject to early withdrawal penalties, and allowing them to repay those funds over a three-year period without the monies being considered income by the Internal Revenue Service.
The CARES Act also temporarily waived the 10% early withdrawal penalty for coronavirus-related distributions (CRDs) made between January 1 and December 31, 2020, and exempted CRDs from the 20% mandatory withholding that usually applies to certain retirement plan distributions. (More details on the CARES Act can be found here.)
We encouraged those in need to consider taking those permissible loans/withdrawals but also urged caution when determining just how much to withdraw. Making such estimates at such an uncertain time like we faced for much of 2020 was understandably a challenge for many; hence the large number of survey respondents who have decided they took out more than was necessary.
Intriguingly, the survey also found that 68% of respondents said they are now in a better place financially because they took that loan/withdrawal.
One would certainly hope so; more money almost always means a bettering of one's financial situation. But the survey also noted that 65% agreed that borrowing from their accounts has put them behind in saving for retirement. In addition, 59% said they wished that they had consulted a financial professional before making those withdrawals.
It is encouraging that the respondents – 1,005 adults interviewed on March 12-15 of this year – realize the inadvertent damage that they may have done to their retirement savings. The issue now, of course, is to ensure people take advantage of the CARES Act's repayment provisions before further harm is done.
Also encouraging is the survey's report that 38% of respondents are now reducing overall expenses, and 29% are re-evaluating their monthly budget. Nevertheless, one wishes those figures were higher.
The much-awaited so-called "return to normalcy" must include reverting back to prudent decisions when it comes to saving for retirement. Already in a well-reported state of crisis before COVID-19, we cannot allow the pandemic to claim another victim in the form of further-depleted retirement savings as we move ahead.

I understand this is an unusual question, but I'm wondering if you know how to contact Brynne Chandler. My husband and I saw her in the Phoenix Comicon 2014, but didn't get a chance to say thank you or ask for her signature. Do you know if she does any other events?
Thank you for your time, and for creating this website. This is an extraordinary series.
I know longer have an active email address or other contact info for Brynne. Sorry. Although I've run into her a couple of times, we haven't worked together since 1996.

The Seamless Sintesi total black Cooktop
Falmec's Sintesi Induction Cooktop—also known as Sintesi total black—is like the Ninja of kitchen hobs.
First off, the all-black aesthetic enables seamless integration into a variety of contemporary designs. Secondly, Sintesi is engineered for slick functionality and easy installation.
Notably, the cooktop features integrated extraction via automated flaps that open only when in operation. Once off, the flaps close and recede—virtually disappearing in a futuristic flourish, "resulting in a streamlined surface that facilitates kitchen activities and allows access for easy cleaning."
Sintesi also offers excellent performance: four zones, nine cooking levels, a high-power boost function, and Flex Surface technology for even heat distribution. There's also an optional anti-odor version, employing activated carbon and zeolite to eliminate smells and reduce humidity.

The novaclient
Python API¶
First create a client instance with your credentials:
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> nova = client.Client(VERSION, USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROJECT_ID, AUTH_URL)
Here VERSION
can be a string or novaclient.api_versions.APIVersion
If you prefer string value, you can use 1.1
(deprecated now), 2
(where X is a microversion).
Alternatively, you can create a client instance using the keystoneauth session API:
>>> from keystoneauth1 import loading
>>> from keystoneauth1 import session
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> loader = loading.get_plugin_loader('password')
>>> auth = loader.load_from_options(auth_url=AUTH_URL,
... username=USERNAME,
... password=PASSWORD,
... project_id=PROJECT_ID)
>>> sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
>>> nova = client.Client(VERSION, session=sess)
If you have PROJECT_NAME instead of a PROJECT_ID, use the project_name parameter. Similarly, if your cloud uses keystone v3 and you have a DOMAIN_NAME or DOMAIN_ID, provide it as user_domain_(name|id) and if you are using a PROJECT_NAME also provide the domain information as project_domain_(name|id).
novaclient adds 'python-novaclient' and its version to the user-agent string that keystoneauth produces. If you are creating an application using novaclient and want to register a name and version in the user-agent string, pass those to the Session:
>>> sess = session.Session(
... auth=auth, app_name'nodepool', app_version'1.2.3')
If you are making a library that consumes novaclient but is not an end-user application, you can append a (name, version) tuple to the session's additional_user_agent property:
>>> sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
>>> sess.additional_user_agent.append(('shade', '1.2.3'))
For more information on this keystoneauth API, see Using Sessions.
It is also possible to use an instance as a context manager in which case there will be a session kept alive for the duration of the with statement:
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> with client.Client(VERSION, USERNAME, PASSWORD,
... PROJECT_ID, AUTH_URL) as nova:
... nova.servers.list()
... nova.flavors.list()
It is also possible to have a permanent (process-long) connection pool, by passing a connection_pool=True:
>>> from novaclient import client
>>> nova = client.Client(VERSION, USERNAME, PASSWORD, PROJECT_ID,
... AUTH_URL, connection_pool=True)
Then call methods on its managers:
>>> nova.servers.list()
[<Server: buildslave-ubuntu-9.10>]
>>> nova.flavors.list()
[<Flavor: 256 server>,
<Flavor: 512 server>,
<Flavor: 1GiB server>,
<Flavor: 2GiB server>,
<Flavor: 4GiB server>,
<Flavor: 8GiB server>,
<Flavor: 15.5GiB server>]
>>> fl = nova.flavors.find(ram=512)
>>> nova.servers.create("my-server", flavor=fl)
<Server: my-server>
Direct initialization of novaclient.v2.client.Client
can cause you to "shoot yourself in the foot". See launchpad bug-report
1493576 for more details.

What You Need to Know: The Essential Guide to Fiber
Do you want the secret to improving your health, fighting off disease, and generally feeling fantastic?
Eat more fiber. No, seriously.
It might bring to mind pictures of your 80-year-old grandpa, but the old guy knew what he was talking about: when it comes to a healthy lifestyle, fiber is your best friend. So, let's dive into what fiber is, why it's important, and why you should make upping your fiber intake a serious priority for your health.
What is fiber, anyway?
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that can't be digested by the body. While most carbohydrates are broken down to be stored as glucose, fiber passes through— helping to regulate sugar and keep you feeling full.
Are there different types of Fiber?
Fiber falls into two categories— and while they have different functions, they both play an important role for your body:
1. Soluble Fiber
This type of fiber dissolves in water and forms a type of gel in the gut, helping to lower glucose and cholesterol levels. Oatmeal, apples, blueberries, beans, and sweet potatoes are all great sources of soluble fiber.
2. Insoluble Fiber
Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water, so it helps food to move through your digestive system and increases stool bulk (gross, I know, but important). This promotes bowel regularity and helps to prevent constipation. Good sources of insoluble fiber include whole grain bread, brown rice, legumes, carrots, and tomatoes.
How much fiber do I need?
The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25 grams for adult women and 35 grams for adult men (the recommended daily dose for children is 20 grams). However, it's estimated that most people top out their fiber intake at around 15 grams. So what does 25-35 grams look like? We're talking about a ½ cup whole-grain cereal, ½ cup of veggies, a ½ cup of beans, and an apple a day.
What are the benefits of fiber?
I could go on and on about the benefits of fiber. Seriously, sometimes it seems like the magic answer to just about every question. Want to be at a healthier weight? Eat more fiber. Want to prevent disease? Fiber. Need some help in the— er, bathroom department? You guessed it, fiber.
So let's take a look at some of fiber's most basic benefits:
1. Blood Sugar Regulation and Feeling Full
Eating a fiber-rich diet helps the body to avoid spikes in blood sugar and increases satiety (feeling full). Because blood-sugar regulation can help to eliminate energy peaks and valleys, a fiber-focus diet can also help to combat fatigue and fogginess throughout the day.
2. Improved Cholesterol
The gel-like substance formed by soluble fiber acts like a sticky sponge, trapping cholesterol before it has a chance to enter the bloodstream. This is why many high-fiber foods are considered "heart healthy".
3. Digestive Health
Fiber is a great tool for both relieving and preventing constipation. Wheat bran and oat bran, in particular, have been shown to be highly effective for helping to promote regularity. Just be advised that fiber absorbs water, so plan to increase your liquid intake along with upping your fiber.
Can fiber help fight disease?
A high-fiber diet isn't just about making you feel great, it can also help to mitigate and prevent disease. Science is continually finding new ways fiber aids in disease prevention, but here are just a few of the ways it's hard at work for your health:
1. Heart Disease
Research has shown that high fiber intake can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. In fact, a Harvard University study that included 40,000 people found that high dietary fiber intake was linked to a 40% risk reduction for coronary heart disease. Fiber consumption has also been shown to reduce a host of factors that increase the risk of developing heart disease, such as high blood pressure, increased insulin levels, excess weight, and high triglyceride levels.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
Diets that are low in fiber and high in high-glycemic foods significantly increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. In studies, this type of diet more than doubled the risk for developing the disease, when compared to a diet that was high in fiber and lower-glycemic foods. According to researchers, diets that are high in cereal fiber (bring on the Cheerios!) were particularly linked to a lower Type 2 Diabetes risk.
3. Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis is one of the most common colon-related disorders in the United States. In a long-term follow-up study, researchers found that eating a fiber-rich diet— particularly insoluble fiber— resulted in a 40% lower risk of developing diverticulitis.
What are some good sources of fiber?
I think by now you get the picture: eating a fiber-rich diet is incredibly important for your overall health. So now that you know, what foods should you be including in your diet to up your fiber intake? Here are a few of my favorites:
1. Whole Grains
Carbs get a bad rap sometimes, but they're heavy hitters in the fiber department. Whole-grain breads, pastas, brown rice, quinoa, barley, and whole-grain cereals all bring the fiber in a big way.
2. Legumes
Beans probably come to mind when you think of fiber and with good reason. A ½ cup of beans contains about 7 grams of fiber— almost a quarter of the daily recommendation for women. Beans are also packed with protein and high in iron, making them a great addition to any diet. They make great additions to just about any salad, soup or salsas, and they even hold their weight as a headliner— bean burritos, anyone?
3. Berries
Berries are the rockstars of the fruit world— high in antioxidants which have been shown to combat inflammation, they're also a great source of fiber. If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck, opt for raspberries or blackberries. At 8 grams of fiber a cup, they'll have you on your way to hitting your daily target in no time. And my favorite way to eat berries? Throw some frozen raspberries into the blender with some water and a scoop of Milk Chocolate Isothority— don't worry, you can thank me later!
4. Haas Avocados
You probably know that avocados are an awesome source of healthy fat, but ½ an avocado contains 5 grams of fiber, making it a fiber-rich food, as well. What I find especially great about avocados is that you can use them like a condiment, as well as a standalone food. Avocado can be used in place of mayo on sandwiches or in chicken salad, blended with greek yogurt to make a salad dressing or dipping sauce, or as a topping on the fad that just won't quit— avocado toast. Guacamole, anyone?
(You can check out a comprehensive list of high-fiber foods here.)
How can I increase my fiber intake?
Adding fiber to your diet doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, by making some simple swaps and adjustments, you'll have no trouble hitting your daily fiber goal.
1. Skip the juice and opt for eating whole fruits instead.
2. Replace white bread, pasta, and rice with their whole grain counterparts.
3. Add a cereal with whole grains as the first ingredient to your breakfast routine.
4. Munch on raw veggies instead of chips or crackers throughout the day.
5. If you make chili or soup, try substituting beans for meat.

Indiana state Rep. Phillip Hinkle has never read the news, or the Internet, or the writing on the wall that overwhelmingly suggests, "If you are a Republican lawmaker picking up gay hookers on Craigslist, you will be caught, naked and ashamed." Hinkle ran into trouble after soliciting a gay Craigslist prostitute who balked during their encounter when Hinkle oh-so-casually mentioned he was a state legislator. When the hooker tried to leave, Hinkle grabbed him somewhere naughty to prevent him from going out before inexplicably offering the 18-year-old man his personal iPad, Blackberry and $100 (hottt gay mugging fantasy?). "Here are my bank records, my wife's phone number, a few of my attempts at homoerotic poetry, a cellphone video of the Filipino guy who broke my heart last summer and my favorite photo of the Pope. Feel free to forward all of these things to the first newspaper you find on the way home." Romantic! And so did Hinkle's family eventuallystart to call this BlackBerry, looking for him?
The escort's older sister picked the young man up at the hotel where the tryst was taking place after he called her telling her that he was scared. (WE WOULD BE, TOO.) Hinkle's wife eventually started to call.
From IndyStar.com:
Megan Gibson said that on the drive back, she began receiving a series of calls on the BlackBerry, including one from a woman who said she was Hinkle's wife.
"I was like, 'Your husband is gay,' " Megan said. "And then she was like, 'You have the wrong person.' "
Megan read her the email address: phinkle46 @comcast.net.
The line went silent.
"Just for a couple seconds," Megan Gibson said, "and the first thing she said was, 'Please don't call the police.' "
And then the rest of Hinkle's family began calling and harassing and demanding proof of all the sexytime and offering money to keep quiet. What did we ever do with our news days before Craigslist? [ IndyStar.com ]

As a person of color from a low-income family who understands the hardships of navigating the education system, Noor-ul-ain Hasan has long championed equity and inclusion.
Despite juggling a double major at Northwestern (English and Legal Studies), she dived into several hotbutton issues with the school's Campus Inclusion Task Force. Hasan also cofounded a program that tackled racism and socio-economic inequality, designed to bring students "from all walks of life to come together and solve issues of inequity" at the university.
Named one of Northwestern's "Top Ten Graduating Seniors to Watch," Hasan still figured she needed more practical experience before applying to law school. After graduation, she went to work for Allstate in Chicago as part of its Leadership Development Program.
Hasan promptly became the youngest person ever appointed to the company's Diversity and Inclusion team. Just 23, she was charged with crafting a corporate infrastructure for employees who were transitioning gender identities.
"I had to ease the social setting, to create a space in which education was available and transgender employees could be safe during their often lengthy transition periods, among many complex company subcultures," Hasan recalls.
Some fallout, of course, was inevitable.
"With any diversity issue, there can be resistance," she says. "I found myself channeling my inner English major and using the power of storytelling to combat that."
Hasan made a video with a transwoman colleague to illustrate Allstate's new direction and help generate widespread buy-in. Her success and extensive area volunteer work landed her on Chicago Scholars' annual "35 Under 35 Young Leaders Making an Impact" list.
At Berkeley Law, Hasan is associate editor of the California Law Review, academic empowerment chair of the Coalition for Diversity, and an Academic Support Program fellow for 1Ls in Civil Procedure.
She ended her own 1L year with a bang, receiving a $20,000 scholarship from Sallie Mae—one of four awards given in a pool of 3,400 applicants. As the summer wound down, she also received a $25,000 Diversity Fellowship from Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago, where she will work next summer.
"I'd love to eventually practice at a big law firm," says Hasan, whose recent essay on colorism among South Asian women communities in social and digital marketplaces will soon be published in an anthology by NYU Press. "Big Law really struggles with diversity and inclusion, and I'd like to transform that culture from the inside."

An 18-year-old Poultney man, accused of plotting a thwarted school shooting earlier this year, cannot be held without bail, according to a decision by the Vermont Supreme Court Wednesday.
Jack Sawyer appealed a Rutland Superior Court decision made in March to hold him without bailafter he was arrested in February on charges of attempted aggravated murder, attempted first-degree murder and attempted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Sawyer has pleaded "not guilty" to the charges.
According to the opinion published by the court, "[t]he sole question before this Court is whether the evidence of guilt is great that defendant attempted to commit any of the four charged crimes given the definition of 'attempt' under Vermont law."
Read the Vermont Supreme Court's decision
The law which allowed the court to hold Sawyer without bail, according to the court, requires both that the crimes the individual is charged with carry a penalty of "death" or life in prison, and "when the evidence of guilt is great."
Prosecutors in the case have expressed opposition to the idea of Sawyer being released on bail.
"An 'attempt' under Vermont law requires an intent to commit a crime, coupled with an act that, but for an interruption, would result in the completion of a crime." — Vermont Supreme Court decision
But the three-judge-panel that weighed in on the decision — Associate Justices Beth Robinson, Harold E. Eaton, Jr. and Karen R. Carroll — ruled that the prosecutors had not provided "'evidence of guilt is great' such that defendant may be presumed incarcerated rather than released prior to trial."
As of publication Wednesday evening, there has been no word on if or when a bail hearing for Sawyer will be scheduled.

One of the best parts of being an engineer is knowing how to develop products. Being able to assemble a team with the right kind of talent accelerates bringing products to market. Our goal at Creating The Difference is to improve bowler education.
We had an idea for a book called The Tournament Mindset. That led us to develop a backpack with supplies to help bowlers perform better. One of the products we included was a bowling ball cleaner. So we decided to build our own. We had 3 main goals when developing the cleaner
- Build a cleaner that was effective at removing dirt and oil in real time.
- The cleaner had to have a increased performance to it.
- It had to smell great.
Our research & development team of chemists, engineers and bowlers worked on a formula which cleaned the bowling ball's surface without changing it. Not changing the surface was key because you can't use a product during USBC certified competition if it changes the surface of the bowling ball. However, we also wanted to enhance the performance of the ball. So we engineered the formula to deep clean the subsurface of the ball which is where the pores are. By deep cleaning the pores, we could enhance performance without changing the ball surface. This allowed us to have a product that could be used during USBC certified competition and still enhance the performance.
The final part of developing a great product is the marketing aspect. We knew we had an effective cleaner on our hands. Now we had to figure out how to make it memorable. We needed something simple and easy to remember. In the word's of Zeke Bayt on a recent Periscope stream, "It's purple and it has stuff in it." What better name than "That Purple Stuff"?
We wanted to show the benefits of this cleaning technology. So we live streamed a test showing the performance difference That Purple Stuff makes.
A lot of products clean but how many work to maintain ball performance in real time?
We wanted That Purple Stuff to work quickly and effectively on the ball in real time. So we developed our CtD Microfiber Cleaning Pad. This pad is designed to hold That Purple Stuff in it while you clean your bowling ball with microfiber each shot. The back side of the pad is designed to stay in your hand, and give you some grip to hold onto making cleaning easy and effective. No more folding your towel or trying to figure out how to get it to stay on the ball rack or scoring monitor. Since the pad holds the material inside of it, you can put some of That Purple Stuff on the pad at the beginning of league or tournament play and it will last for 3 games. This picture shows a new towel on the left and a towel used after 3 games on the right. When you combine the microfiber with That Purple Stuff, you get a true deep cleaning.
That Purple Stuff not only breaks down dirt and oil from the lane; it also restores the tacky feeling that your ball had when it was new. Because it bonds to the subsurface of the coverstock you can feel that the ball is tacky even after bowling with the ball. In fact, you can hear the ball squeak with your hand once it's clean.

That Purple Stuff and the CtD Microfiber Pad are available for purchase here.

With the Spring LCS Finals, 2022 weekend also comes the MSI Group Draw 2022. The Mid Season Invitational is always an exciting time for League fans from all around the world. The number 1 seed from 11 different regions will all come together and play to give us a taste of who is best and to start the build-up to Worlds.
So what teams are heading to Busan, Korea and who will they be matched up against?
Group A has quite possibly the best team to ever grace the rift in T1 from the LCK. Joining them will be Saigon Buffalo from the VCS, Team Aze from Liga Latinoamérica, and finally DetonatioN FocusMe from the LJL. T1 should be clear favorites to advance with the other three having a closer battle. In the end, I think the familiar face in DetonatioN FocusMe will be the other team to make it out of Group A.
Group B looks to be a fun one as we have Royal Never Give Up from the LPL, last year's MSI winners, and PSG Talon who took third in last year's tournament as well. Those two teams are the clear favorites to make it out of Group B but both the Istanbul Wildcats from the TCL and RED Canids from CBL will try and make some upsets happen.
Group C looks is one of the West with both Evil Geniuses from the LCS and G2 from the LEC looking to face off and will likely take the two qualifying spots but we shouldn't count out the ORDER from the LCO who will try and knock down one of either NA or EU on their way to qualify.
With the MSI Group Draw 2022 completed all we have left is MSI itself. The Tournament will start on May 10th and last all the way until the finals on May 29th. So we will have a fun couple of weeks with the best League of Legends teams from all around the world. We can't wait to see who comes out on top and what amazing rivalries form.

Few science students haven't heard of Professor Cliona O'Farrelly. Her humour and passion for the field of comparative immunology is evident in her lectures, making her stand out amongst many leading researchers in Trinity. She has inspired, and continues to inspire, many young scientists in and out the lecture hall, and her recent election as the first female Chair of Fellows ensures that she continues to be a role model for staff and students alike.
Early Academic and Research
O'Farrelly's interest and fascination with science started at an early age. Her mother, a scientist herself, encouraged O'Farrelly's interests. When she had a question that was related to centrifugal force, her mother did not hesitate to demonstrate the concept. "My mother filled a bucket of water and spun around and I was so amazed that the water didn't spill!" she chuckled. She had also attended a boarding school in Athlone, where her teachers used to organise many field trips in the bogs. The samples of the small creatures she saw and collected intrigued her.
For O'Farrelly, however, a science career was not love at first sight. Even though she was interested in it, it wasn't something she really wanted to pursue in college. "My father was an architect himself and I actually wanted to become a town planner," she said. She did know, however, that her dream was to study in Trinity, but having completed her Leaving Certificate, she discovered that there was no school of architecture in Trinity. Desperate, she had to think of something else to do. She looked at doing law, French, and even history of art, but in the end she chose a degree in general science. She ended up doing the course because of necessity rather than passion: "I was told that I was good at science so I then decided to do it."
However, she had some great and inspiring lecturers, such as geneticist Prof David McConnell and zoologist Dr Frank Jeal. The newly-founded Zoology Society and Dr Jeal's field trips to Co. Meath increased her interest in science. "I was fascinated to explore the rich diversity of science of life that you will miss otherwise and having a zoologist there made it even more exciting and engaging."
More excitingly, as an undergraduate, O'Farrelly studied physics and was taught by nobel laureate Ernest Walton, the first person to artificially split an atom. "Being truly honest," she says, "I had spent more time talking in his lectures than I have listened which I surely did regret that afterwards". Realising the importance of physics and how great of an opportunity it was to be taught by Walton left her feeling quite guilty. While she was doing her PhD in immunology, a letter was sent to students stating that a portrait was commissioned for Prof Walton, and that they were looking for donations to support it. "I felt extremely guilty and wanted to do anything to sincerely apologise about not appreciating his lectures," says O'Farrelly. "I donated 20 pounds which was considered a good bit of money back then.''
Prof O'Farrelly fell into immunology while doing a moderatorship in microbiology. For her final year research project, she chose to do a study related to immunology. "At that time," she says, "there was a lot of fascinating and exciting discoveries in the field of microbiology and I knew it would have been very competitive to choose a research project in that field." Immunology, on the other hand, was the least popular option. It was a subject that was considered quite vague, with very little research being performed in the field.
These days, O'Farrelly has many fascinating research areas in comparative immunology, mainly focusing on human immunology and how to trigger its response using viral malignancy. Her main interest is on the liver and mammalian uterus, which were shown to be great repertoires for immune cells. Such diverse kinds of cells are important in recognising, responding, and defending the body against harmful pathogens, especially during pregnancy. O'Farrelly's research has also been working towards developing a vaccine for Hepatitis C.
''But it wasn't plain sailing. There was always difficulties faced and it was very important to work through these problems." O'Farrelly cites that some of the main problems she faced as a PhD student were financial difficulties, and the loneliness. Even though she was working with other researchers and PhD students in the same laboratory, the project was conducted by herself. She also says that another challenging issue was having the confidence to follow one's own vision or idea while completing the project, but also to have the bravery to ask for assistance from a supervisor who might end up not agreeing with the project at all. "Sometimes," she advised, "it was even better to just do your own thing than being left feeling disappointed."
But with all these difficulties, O'Farrelly says that there were still great benefits in doing research. "While doing something that you're really passionate about, you will certainly overcome these difficulties and always strive to learn more." She also says that becoming a part of a greater scientific community, nationally and internationally, and working with other scientists that have the same interests, is also a great advantage. "It was always exciting to find someone with similar interests and developing connections world wide with other leading researchers."
Chair of Fellows
"I would like to ensure that the voices of the Fellows is heard within college but also outside as we are living through a very challenging time for universities in terms of funding and for their appreciation for their role in society."
Speaking on her new position as Chair of Fellows, which she was elected to in June, O'Farrelly says that she is delighted with her new role and stated that "it was a great accomplishment both as being the first female to occupy this role and to be acknowledged by the Fellows as someone who is up for this role." For O'Farrelly, her role as Chair of Fellows is an important one. "The role involves giving a voice to the academic interest of the whole body of Fellows," she says.
The Fellows are a diverse group of academic leaders from different disciplines within College who undertake teaching duties assigned by Board, act as examiners when required, and engage in academic research. O'Farrelly's outstanding research achievements, as well as a good record of her teaching led her to become a Fellow. She recalls attending her first Fellows meeting with the attached excitement, believing that the group represented people who are at international standing in their field. However, she was left a bit disappointed to discover that the major issues of the university was not always what the Fellows were inclined to discuss. O'Farrelly was very interested in the possibility of the Fellows' voice being used to promote the idea of a university and the benefit of a university to everybody in society. "I would like to ensure that the voices of the Fellows is heard within College but also outside as we are living through a very challenging time for universities in terms of funding and for their appreciation for their role in society," she says. She also emphasises the importance of universities: "We believe that the university has a critical role in the health and the wellbeing of our society today.''
To young scientists or anyone looking to pursue a career in the field, her advice is "to follow your heart not just what you love, but what will work out for you in the long run.'' She adds that "there are many possible lives that we can lead and it's impossible to identify the best one". She also emphasises that one of the most important aspects of following one's dreams is to realise that it won't always be easy. "It's important to have the confidence to overcome the difficulties," she advices. "Not necessarily work out of it, but work through it." Prof O'Farrelly admits that this is something easier said than done, but one that can be developed over time.
"It's important to have the confidence to overcome the difficulties," she advises. "Not necessarily work out of it, but work through it."
Prof O'Farrelly remembers her early years while doing her own PhD research, when she was in floods of tears as her project wasn't working out the way she wanted. She felt disheartened, but knew that no one would have helped her work through these difficult times, other than herself. "I had to find my own way out and work through the problems myself," she says, "and that's not just for anyone in the science field but in general." She added that many young people nowadays seemed to want to plan out their lives and get disappointed when things go wrong or not exactly as they planned. "But it's really not about planning." she explains. "It more about finding a way to live with the unknown and learning from it. Because it's through these unknowns that we develop and make new discoveries."
"But it's really not about planning." she explains. "It more about finding a way to live with the unknown and learning from it. Because it's through these unknowns that we develop and make new discoveries."
