Some people think BlackBerry these days is a bit of a joke. As in, I bought my wife the new BlackBerry. Jakarta? No, she wanted to go. Or what do you call a BlackBerry that isn't a BackBerry? The Z3.
Let's start again. The picture above is a leaked snap purporting to be the new BlackBerry phone, previously codenamed the Jakarta but now set to be known as the Z3. Why is it not a BlackBerry? Because apart from the logo on the outside and the BB10 software on the inside, the rest is created by manufacturer Foxconn.
The partnership with Foxconn was announced at the end of last year when the ailing Canadian company announced an eye-watering loss of £2.69bn loss.
N4BB has revealed various leaked renders of the new phone. Word on the street is that the Z3 will go on sale in Indonesia and developing markets, where it will compete with affordable Android phones and the likes of the best-selling, wallet-friendly Nokia Lumia 520.
Could the Z3 transform BlackBerry's fortunes? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

Centerton Road Bridge closed
MOUNT LAUREL – Centerton Road Bridge, which spans Rancocas Creek, was closed indefinitely Thursday due to a possible safety risk.
The risk was uncovered after an engineering inspection noted possible structural problems for the bridge, which was built in 1903 and connects Mount Laurel to Willingboro and Westampton.
Burlington County officials said engineers decided to close the bridge as a safety precaution, pending further inspections and repairs. The bridge is used by about 14,000 vehicles per day.
Motorists, who were notified by using a reverse type of 911 system, were being urged to use Interstate 295 and the interchanges at Creek Road and Rancocas Road as an alternative route.
Just last year, state Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney, D-Gloucester, held a news conference at the bridge calling attention to the need for improvements to the state's infrastructure.
The aging bridge previously had been labeled "structurally deficient."

Clemson backups Fields, Powell out vs Syracuse
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson cornerback Mark Fields and receiver Cornell Powell will miss the game against Syracuse for disciplinary reasons.
The team announced the suspensions shortly before kickoff with the Orange on Saturday. The Tigers say Clemson coach Dabo Swinney will address the issue after the game.
Fields is a senior with four tackles and a pass breakup in 110 snaps this season. Powell is a junior who has had five catches for 63 yards.
Fields' loss stretches thin a position where starters A.J. Terrell and Trayvon Mullen are the only ones with experience.
Third-ranked Clemson had a chaotic week when former quarterback Kelly Bryant announced he'll transfer after freshman Trevor Lawrence got the starting job.

I can't believe people are still sending out (and people falling for) the scam claiming to have hacked your computer and recorded you masturbating to porn. If you don't pay up, they will post it.
Got news for you dipshit. You could make a real fortune by having people pay to not see me if such existed. The market for that is huge compared to one fairly poor blogger.
If nothing else, it gave me a laugh this morning. May this make you smile if nothing else, we need all the smiles and laughter we can get right now.

This is how we can make 5 am ours — play music, talk to ourselves. For many of us, the only sounds we want to hear at that time are the coffee machine bubbling and our fingers hitting the keys on the laptop.
No need to rush
When we wake up late we have to get moving right away. It's shower, clothes, coffee, "See ya later!". Our mind is already focused on the day ahead before we even breathe in the morning air.
Just as the relaxed pace of an early morning follows us throughout the day, the frenetic energy of feeling rushed sticks around as well. We can choose the relaxed pace by waking up early.
Having a plan
Whether our aim is to increase productivity or not, we'll need a plan for the morning before the alarm goes off. Taking the guesswork out of the equation is always a good strategy for getting more done, but it's particularly important here since our sleepy little brain is going to try and bargain its way out of getting up.
Knowing exactly what we're going to do once our feet hit the floor will give us a huge mental edge over the snooze button.
Working up to it
The first week or so will be hard to adjust, but like most things: Consistency breeds simplicity. If we can't quit sleeping in cold turkey, we can try waking up 30 minutes earlier each day until we reach our target. If we want to be in the 5 am club but normally rise at 8 am, this strategy gets us there by day six.
Whether we do it all at once or work up to it, it takes most people 7–10 days in a row to adjust.
Go to bed!
As much as we're a proponent of waking up early, we are much bigger fans of getting enough sleep. "Well, some people just need less sleep than others." Not true. We all need 7–8 hours. Yes, all of us. The benefits of waking up early aren't worth much if we aren't getting enough sleep to function throughout the day.
On some days we're likely to stay awake till late due to work or other reasons, but we can always get back to waking up early if we choose. Let's all join the 5 a.m. club!

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – November 30, 2021 – Zacks Equity Research Shares of Tyson Foods, Inc. TSN as the Bull of the Day, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on NIO Inc. NIO, Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS.A) and Tesla, Inc. TSLA.
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
– Zacks
Bull of the Day:
Tyson Foods is a Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) that is the biggest U.S. chicken company. Tyson produces, distributes and markets chicken, beef, pork as well as prepared foods.
The company recently had a beat on EPS, which helped the stock hit 2021 highs. But the market pullback caused the stock to fall back to pre-earnings levels.
Investors should be watching this pullback closely for a buy. Not only are earnings looking up, but the company has introduced a new productivity program that could reap benefits for shareholders into 2022.
About the Company
Tyson's products are marketed and sold primarily by sales staff to grocery retailers, grocery wholesalers, meat distributors, military commissaries, industrial food processing companies, chain restaurants, international export companies and domestic distributors.
The company has 137,000 full time employees, is headquartered in Springdale, Arkansas and was founded in 1935.
The company has a market cap of about $30 Billion and has Zacks Style Scores of "A" in Value but "D" in Growth. The Forward PE is just 11 and the company pays a 2.2% dividend.
Q4 Earnings
Tyson reported EPS earlier this month seeing a surprise to the upside of 4.5%. Revenues also came in above expectations and they guided FY22 higher. Tyson also bumped up their dividend slightly and sees Capex at $2B.
The healthy quarter comes despite higher commodity prices which have brought year over year revenues lower. Chicken was off 6%, beef and pork were both off 15%, while prepared foods was lower by 12.5%. Tyson is raising meat prices as costs escalate and avenge beef prices have climbed by one-third in the most recent quarter.
On the call, the CEO commented that the worst of the labor shortfall is behind them. Their poultry plants are almost fully staffed as they head into the end of the year.
The EPS beat was the company's sixth straight. While the magnitude this quarter was lower than the last five earnings, estimates are ticking higher into next year.
Over the last 60 days, estimates are trending upwards. For the current quarter, we have seen estimates raised by 17%, from $1.72 to $2.01. For the current year, we have seen a 9% move higher in that same time frame.
Analysts are citing adjusted pricing and credit management for a job well done in a tough environment.
While earnings and estimates look good, the market is looking forward to some cost savings efforts, which could help the bottom line through 2024.
$1 Billion Productively Program
Beginning next year, Tyson is launching a new productivity program that will target $1B in savings by the end of 2024. This program will be "designed to drive a better, faster and more agile organization that is supported by a culture of continuous improvement and faster decision making."
The impact should be felt early next year as they are shooting for $300-$400 million in fiscal 2022.
The Technicals
The stock has done well in 2021, up about 25% year to date. However, it's still off almost 15% from the pre-COVID levels seen in early 2020. Value investors see opportunity here, but let's go over some levels to possibly step in on a pullback.
As of this writing, the 50-day moving average is $80.20 and the 200-day is just under $77. The stock has recently broken trendline support and looks to test that 50-day. If it holds, investors can step in and look for those all-time highs of $94.24 sometime next year.
If we get a broad market sell off and that 50-day support breaks, look for the 200-day to come into play. A buy zone of $77-79 should be a good long-term opportunity for value investors.
Bottom Line
Tyson has proven itself in a tough environment and stockholders have been rewarded this year. As the stock comes off its recent highs new investors should watch the support levels for an opportunity to get long for continued momentum higher in 2022.
Bear of the Day:
Cracker Barrel is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) stock that is engaged in the ownership and operation of full-service restaurants with a restaurant and a retail store in the same unit. The restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as dine-in, pick-up, and delivery services. The company's gift shops comprise various decorative and functional items, such as rocking chairs, seasonal gifts, apparel, toys, cookware, and various other gift items, as well as various candies, preserves, and other food items.
Outside of the Covid crash, the stock has been steady over the years, trading around the same levels since 2015. However, recent earnings have put pressure on the stock that now threatens to break long lasting support levels.
Investors should be cautious with the CBRL as margin pressures might scare away long-term holders of the stock.
About the Company
Cracker Barrel is headquartered in Lebanon, TN and employs 70,000 people. The company was founded in 1969 and as of September 15, 2021, it operated 664 Cracker Barrel stores in 45 states.
CBRL is valued at $3 billion and has a Forward PE of 16. The company holds a Zacks Style Score of "A" in Growth and "B" in Value. The company also pays a 4% dividend.
Q1 Earnings
Cracker Barrel reported last week, seeing 7% miss on EPS. While revenues came in above expectations, margins pressures are squeezing the bottom line. Increasing commodity costs and wage inflation are a double whammy and the company adjusted their operating margin to 5.5-6.0%.
Comparable restaurant sales were up 1.4% v 2019, while retail sales were up 17.16%.
The CEO commented that progress on staffing and efforts by their operating teams helped sales in the first quarter. Additional comments reiterated that their sales trends give them confidence into the second quarter.
However, margins issues are likely to weigh on the bottom line early next year. This will have additional pressure on the stock and analysts are cutting estimates and price targets.
The Q1 report showed margin problems, which was followed by a drop in estimates across all time frames. Over the last 7 days, the current quarters numbers have fallen from $2.68 to $2.05, or 24%. For the current year, estimates have fallen about 5% over that same time frame.
The company does have some long-term growth opportunity in their Maple Street Biscuit Company restaurants. They are looking to open 15 new restaurants in 2022, but news sales are not likely to overtake their margin problems in the first half of next year.
Technical Take
The long-term trading range is key here, so let's focus on that by looking at the chart going back to 2014. If you take out the COVID crash, you have a clear support zone in the $120-130 range. At the same time, you have a clear resistance zone around $180.
The stock hit that resistance earlier this year, but has since fallen back into that support zone at $130, bouncing back and forth between $130-$150.
The earnings number has cracked that support, so investors need to be really cautious as 2021 lows are now in sight. I would be worried that those lows get taken out and we see a slow bleed below $120. From there the $100 level is in sight as it's the 61.8% Fibonacci support level from the COVID crash lows to 2021 highs.
In Summary
Cracker Barrel is on the verge of a technical breakdown due to margin pressure. As inflation persists, the stock will continue to struggle. While there is a long-term growth story in Maple Street, investors are likely to be dealing with dead money in the foreseeable future.
The 4% dividend will bring in buyers as the stock goes lower, but there are plenty of places to put money that offer more opportunity.

NIO and Shell (RDS.A) Strike Deal to Enhance EV Driver Experience
NIO recently announced a partnership with energy giant Royal Dutch Shell to enhance the charging experience for electric vehicle (EV) customers by jointly constructing and operating a network of co-branded battery swapping stations.
The agreement encompasses a plan to develop a network of 100 battery swapping stations in China by 2025, starting with two pilot sites. Further, additional battery swap stations will be installed at Shell EV charging hubs, while Shell Recharge fast chargers will be made available at NIO locations.
The agreement in Europe will commence with the construction and operation of pilot stations in 2022. Further, NIO users will have access to Shell's charging infrastructure in Europe, one of Europe's largest roaming EV charging networks.
The companies are highly optimistic about the partnership. The agreement between NIO and Shell will provide EV users with superior services and experiences.
For Shell, the deal offers the advantages of NIO's already massive network of fast-charging stations, battery swapping stations and destination chargers in China. Further, amid the heightening climate change concerns, this collaboration highlights Shell's commitment to expedite the transition to green vehicles globally and make a worthwhile contribution to sustainable energy development.
For NIO, the European leg of the deal is particularly enticing as it will enable it to expand its operations internationally. Through its partnership with Shell, the China startup will have an ally with whom it can work toward improving every aspect of the EV experience by offering Shell Recharge high-speed charging at attractive NIO locations and making battery swapping available at Shell locations.
Meanwhile, NIO and Shell will continue to search for further alliance opportunities in battery asset management, fleet management, home charging services, advanced battery charging and swapping technology development as well as construction of charging facilities in China.
NIO and Shell currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Key Auto Companies to Tap On

Prior to and following sciencefiction. What is the bond between them both? What do you really feel these themes mean to people?
The bond between the two concepts is more compared to"scientific world". In a nutshell, the concept of research has nothing to do with science in the slightest. Nevertheless, in the long run, all of us realize a lot of investigation them equally take place.
When looking into the roots of science, the thought are Newton's narrative. rewriting a novel This was this story that said that the reality of the scientific concepts, for example, facts regarding the origin of sciencefiction. For anyone that may not be familiar with this particular specific narrative, let me give a concise description to you.
The narrative goes like that: Adam had a laboratory, which was a marble. He thought it would not be excessively hard to find out how to produce electricity. Plus it worked properly.
His thought was supposed to create some thing a lot more than power – everything it turned out to be, and also that which he's called the Philosopher's Stone had been ice. Since ice hockey can become water, it had been the perfect content to produce electrical power. https://www.rewritingservices.net/how-to-unplagiarize-my-paper-to-avoid-turnitin-detection-full-guide/ With the assistance with this"discovery", he had established an instrument which was very beneficial in science then, when his laboratory got vandalized, he solved the situation by delivering the burglar to his coffin.
You see, there was some moment when mathematics did not get involved with the truth. This took place because of a few more discoveries such as modern-day astronomy, Newton's world process, and development principle.
The bond between earlier and soon after scientific discoveries is which they constantly brought us nearer to this facts. This truth is what every thing in science is currently all determined by.
If you want to learn about prior to and following science, then you will need to look in mathematics through the eyes of someone who moved . http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/%7Ecampbell/cs50/buildlib.html You might be surprised to be aware that the best method is via the control of a newcomer.
There are things that every person needs to experience in order to develop into a master. No one forgets the fact that some of the best ideas are the ones that were not used. We can see this in pictures where some one succeeds because she or he can change it to meet the occasions and starts having something. Adding new elements usually does it as well as is the fact that the audience has something brand new to look forward to.
Afterall, the ideas in natural mathematics usually came from someone who never achieved such a thing in science. In addition, there are lots of examples of individuals to be able to do amazing things in science that is natural due to luck and talent, but they are few.
It can be stated that science may not be handled as a more subject at a normal school curriculum. It could be handled just as a different case by which a quantity of things were instructed and the components of this issue can possibly be determined.

More options emerge to attract developers into North Arlington
NORTH ARLINGTON — Additional options are available for potential developers of a redevelopment zone along Belleville Turnpike in the Meadowlands.
Now allowable are self-storage facilities and shared-parking arrangements.
Last spring, the Borough Council declared nine contiguous properties — 5.83 acres in all — located in three blocks as a non-condemnation Area in Need of Redevelopment.
This month, the council approved a redevelopment plan written by consultant firm Heyer, Gruel & Associates that establishes new land development and design standards and procedures for application and review.
"The statutory redevelopment process allows the council to promote adaptive reuse and flexible development opportunities in targeted locations throughout the borough," the document states.
"The Belleville Turnpike Redevelopment Area has been designated by the borough to offer potential developers an opportunity to pursue projects that will enhance the economic vitality of the Belleville Turnpike corridor and reinforce its position as a hub of commerce and retail activity."
Located at the southeast border with Kearny and across from the North Arlington Jewish Cemetery, properties in the zone include a vacant factory that once manufactured bomb parts during World War II and an old PSE&G substation.
Among the plan's goals are:
- Improving traffic access, as the parcels are primarily reached from Belleville Turnpike
- Developing options for parking, given topographic constraints
- Promoting new uses on underutilized land
In keeping with North Arlington's April 2016 Master Plan Reexamination, the goal is to upgrade the older industrial area to maintain jobs and preserve the nonresidential tax base.
Self-storage facilities were added as a principal permitted use, and an assisted-living residence facility and senior/active adult housing were conditional permitted uses.
At the same time, options like a fire lane — not intended for vehicular traffic other than emergency vehicles — and shared parking, serving two or more individual land uses through an agreement, were outlined in the plan.
A minimum of three spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for nonresidential uses and eight spaces for the public and employees of self-storage facilities were included.

Landscaped buffers are to be provided for any portion adjacent to a residential zone.
Existing code puts most parcels in a C-2 Commercial Zone, which permits a variety of uses, including retail, research laboratories, offices, motels and dwellings.
The plan supersedes use, bulk and design standard provisions of the borough's land development regulations, and all development must be approved through the Planning Board.
The plan is the latest in North Arlington's vision for revitalization, which kicked off in October 2015 with approval to construct a 139,200-square-foot FedEx freight facility on Porete Avenue.
Would-be developers have expressed interest in the Belleville Turnpike area.
In June 2016, Capodagli Property Co. made a presentation to the mayor and council at a meeting to propose building a six-story complex containing 160 housing units at 450 Belleville Turnpike. The borough attorney said at the time that it was premature to approach the council about the plans.
In his February report to the council, borough economic development consultant Bob Ceberio said his office is fielding requests for site visits. Five companies have expressed interest in potential warehouse sites.
Recent positive press — such as being recognized by TIME and Money magazines — seems to be enhancing North Arlington's attractiveness, said council President Dan Pronti.
A real estate agent, Pronti recalled two recent residential sales above the homes' asking price.

Report: Michigan football could finish spring practice in Rome
Michigan football may not be leaving during spring break this year.
Only because something bigger and more involved may follow later.
TheWolverine.com reported in its "Inside the Fort" posted today that U-M may spend the final week of spring practice in Rome, Italy, allowing the team to practice, take an educational trip and some players could remain in Europe to study abroad. The site said the planning has been in the works for months.
The site said this could be the first of annual trips overseas, buoyed by U-M's international brand.
U-M was under heavy scrutiny for it decision to travel to practice in Florida last year during spring break, which led to the NCAA legislation passed today in Nashville at the autonomy hearings. The proposal passed today only limits trips during vacation periods and going at the end of April would be after the semester concluded.
Michigan's final exams for the winter term are scheduled for April 20-21 and April 24-27.
This would be a trip similar to the men's and women's college basketball programs, which practice and play exhibitions overseas, a foreign tour, in the summer.
Sorry, Wolverines: NCAA bans spring break practice trips

Everyone take a turn and describe yourself in three words… Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International for Share Life Today. No one likes to be put on the spot, but sometimes people come up with the worst icebreakers, making conversations forced and awkward! Don't be that person when sharing your faith! Instead of forcing the conversation in a certain direction, earn the right to ask personal questions. Really listen to your friend. Find out where the person is spiritually and pray that the Lord would give them a desire to hear the Gospel. Then ask for permission to share the Gospel. An easy way to share the Gospel is to first share your own sotry and then to let your friend know that you are sure where you will spend eternity. Ask them kindly, "may I share with you how I made this discovery and how you could know it, too?" Asking this question will keep the person from feeling like you're forcing the Gospel on them. Listen tomorrow for more tips on making friends for kingdom advancement! If you need help witnessing and leading your loved ones to the Lord, visit ShareLife.Today.

Mufti dispelled misconceptions of the faith, specifically that it's synonymous with terrorism and oppression of women. Both of those ideas are not rooted in the teachings of Islam, Mufti said. (Peoria)
Misunderstanding Islam
Newborn Baby Girl Buried Alive By Paki Father
Muselmaniacs keep telling us that big Moe did away with the practice back in the 7th century. Funny how it keeps happening:

Those were the days!
Bangla PM Sheikh Hasina fantasizes about "the glorious traditions of the early Islamic era, when Muslims ruled the whole world through their power of knowledge of science and technology."
She added that Islam, the religion of peace, established its humane glory assimilating the unique natural and cultural distinctiveness of Bengal and that is why the people of Bengal are very religious-minded from the time immemorial, but not bigots.

You look more beautiful each day.

I beam through the translucent distance.
You finally take notice.
'Hey there, love the halo! – You say'
There goes my moment of glory.
My warmth reaches you before my sight.

For the past six months, I have been truly privileged to share my MIT experiences with all of you through the admissions blogs. Whether I talked about my classes, my dorm, my fraternity, the hacks, the research opportunities, or something completely random, I was always writing with you – the prospective members of MIT's Class of 2012 – foremost in my mind. I hope I was able to help you get to know MIT a little better than you may have without the bloggers, because I certainly feel as though I got to know you. I wasn't expecting that to happen…but through your comments, your emails, and even your random Facebook pokes, I genuinely became attached to you guys; and I think it's safe to say the other bloggers feel the same way.
When Saturday finally rolled around, we were all right there with you guys – mentally and emotionally, if not physically. I remember exactly how it felt to prepare myself to click that one final button, the last barrier between me and knowing whether or not I might be going to MIT. Until that moment, I never knew I could feel so much hope, apprehension, and expectation all at the same time.
Last weekend, as I waited to find out whether or not certain friends of mine – from across the nation and the globe – had been admitted, I felt that exact same apprehension all over again. When one of those friends was accepted, her joy was my joy; when others of them weren't, their sorrow was mine, too. And for the past few days, I've been wondering about what I would blog about today, asking myself what I would have wanted to hear last year.
I'm not sure there is a single "right" answer to that question. I wish I could meet every one of you who couldn't be admitted in person and tell you, really, this is not the end of the world. I wish I could tell you all that you are all fantastic, driven people who have the potential to do amazing things with your lives. I wish I could tell you that one of the most important things in life is to be at peace with where you are and what you have, rather than keep thinking about what could have been.
I wish I could tell you that MIT is not the only place where you can live your dreams. Because when that letter says, "Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person," everyone at MIT Admissions really does mean that. It's just like how MIT intentionally uses the phrase "not admitted" rather than rejected. It's not that you weren't qualified for MIT, or that your myriad achievements in high school weren't "good enough," or that you won't go on to do something completely revolutionary five, ten, fifty years down the road. If Matt and Ben could, I know they would admit every single one of you.
I don't know if this will be comforting to any of you right now. But if you get nothing else out of the blogs, I hope you realize that admissions is more than just a job for everyone here at MIT. When we say we wish we could have offered you admission…we mean it.
To all of you waiting to hear back from other universities – best of luck. Sometimes, your dreams are closer to becoming reality than you might think. Just maybe not in the way you expected.

Oh well, daughter was deferred for EA, not admitted on regular. Waiting to hear from Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, Stevens and Cooper Union, admitted EA at Northeastern with lots of merit money. Her numbers were top notch, but maybe there were too many NY people in the pool. Who knows. She'll probably be back into the MIT pool for grad school. Good luck to all, both admitted and not admitted!
This blog reminds me of a relevant quote by Coach Lou Holtz…
"Life is 10 percent of what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it."
I just became a member of the "rejected" club now, as I just got home from a wedding and ran upstairs to check my decision. It was expected.
If I wanted, I could probably sit around here and whine for hours about it. But that's not me, and it shouldn't be you.
I guarantee you, all of those who are succsessful in their life or career, are succsessful because they not only have good fortune: they know how to cope with disappointments as well. There will be setbacks in your life, but it is really up to you to get over them. Life is short, and you can't wait forever.
Looking back, I see several things that I'll improve in my application towards next year – one of them is taking the TOEFL, as well as retaking my SAT I. And of course, I'M GOING TO HAVE AN INTERVIEW.
MiT, I'll see you in the Class of 2013 applicant pool next year. But until August, there really isn't any time to sit around and cry over a decision. Get motivated, do something you like and go somewhere you want. In the end, that's really all there is.
So long.
I'm on campus right now just to visit – it's great.
Now it's our turn. I'm terrified.
Thanks Paul, like I said before, I think it was very sweet of you, to think about all of us who didnt get through
And I do think Ben's post "It's more than just a job" is the most wonderful college admission related text I've ever read.
Thank you, Ben and all of the admission officers, for providing such insight into the admission process.
very sweet…even though i didn't get in i feel a lot better! thanks!
Hey Paul, thanks again for your support! It really means a lot! Reading your posts really has helped me move on and look at my other opportunities. I have a lot of good schools lined up and will be applying to U of A, and someday to MIT once more thank you again.
Paul, You're cool. I initially had a little Diels-Alder reaction to the whole thing but that has helped me ring together and move on.
Excellent post. *goes and randomly pokes Paul now* hehe…
Great post! Do you want to cuntinue blogging next year? It would be awesome!!!
If not we always have facebook and mails )
I loved your last 2 phrases. I know you're right. And thank you so much for still thinking of us.
I know its a bit too early to ask this right now but I am an Indian student and am planning to appear for SAT 2 in June will the scores be accepted for admissions to the class of 2013.
Thanks Paul.
@Adit: Hey, looks like we're gonna be doing the same thing! Yeah, the scores will be accepted.
Thanks Paul, U have been a real inspiration. Though it would have been a real privilege to get to know you in MIT, being "not admitted" does not make me hate u. Thanks for all your suggestions and encouragement.
Maybe in grad school……………..

Is it just me or are the vast majority of the "not admitted" ones who still linger around this site "international" (like myself) ?
thanks Paul
Awww. I'm also so glad that I was accepted by MIT and found out before 4/1. I had been deferred by Yale and my ego had been completely crushed. Awesome timing~~!!!
Thanks Paul, you're an inspiration to us all. Though I haven't been as active in replying as much as reading these blogs, its definitely been fun.
Though… not being able to refer to classes with numbers anymore is kinda depressing…
I don't know about majority, but there are a lot of us still here :D
Hey, '13er,
Great. Point out that it's now my time to be worried. Hope to see you in 16 months.
thank you paul. that was very thoughtful.
excellent post paul, don't you wish that you went through the exact application process that we did a year ago? daaang haha how time flies. I miss the whole stressful college application time, it was less stressful than MIT lol (but seriously prefrosh COME HERE ITS AWESOME!)
As always, lovely Paul! ..always here to bring a sense of hope. I really enjoy reading all of your posts. Being on here (which has quickly become a habit of mine over the passed few years) motivates me even more to strive for MIT. Looking forward to another post!
See you at Meet the Bloggers!
Thanks for being with us throughout
Heh, I was tempted to randomly poke you on Facebook, Paul. But I'm too professional for that, j/k
It was fun. I'll be sure to hang my rejection letter when it gets in the mail, the same place where I hang all my medals, passes to competitions I failed, and trinkets from ex-girlfriends.
To be honest, the first thought I had about being rejected was the disappointment at not being able to meet the interesting people here. I've enjoyed your blogs, Paul, slightly more than I've enjoyed the others. You write with such maturity that I initially thought you were an admissions officer when I first came here.
I'll probably not hang around these blogs anymore just for the sake of emotionally detaching myself to MIT. I'll apply again for grad studies, but I guess over half of all of you will be gone then. Farewell.. :(
Most of the 'not admitted' students are so amazing…that I feel as if my acceptance should have gone to one of them.
Thanks for thinking of everyone though.
@k3nn37h: I did 3 years of a university diploma here and then applied as a frosh to MIT. Obviously didn't work Actually, I'm kinda wondering if that's the reason they turned me down in the end, out of pity. It'd take 2 years as a transfer student, 4 as a frosh, but I wouldn't want to lower the years of staying there.
So, I'd suggest you finish your degree first then apply for grad studies, which is what I plan to do. Or if you have the money, the time, and the impatience, you can still try to re-apply
@yiwen: Don't feel bad. You'd just better not go all IHateThisF-Place when you're there XD
I wish my friend would read this,
he's devastated after not getting in, and It makes harder for me to be happy,
Hey tanmay.. u from dehradun ryt.. i jus wanted to knw hw u went about with ur app.. and which school u're from.
Nice post Paul!
I'm completely over the sadness that brought my "rejection", but I still feel like trying for MIT again (for some reason I still think I have what it takes to make it).
Anyways… (to everyone), what do you think would be a better idea: doing a year of uni here in germany and then to trying to transfer, or applying to enter as a freshman in 2009?

Making Migration Work for All
Report of the Secretary-General
12 December 2017 :: 20 pages
…The report focuses on making migration work for all, emphasizing its links to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The report highlights: (a) options for Member States to help migrants fulfil their economic and social potential; (b) steps to promote regular migration; and (c) policies to meet the legitimate security considerations of Member States concerning irregular migration. It also explores the specific challenges arising from large mixed movements of migrants and refugees.
The report offers suggestions for Member States to frame an action-oriented global compact, addressing aspects of migration from the subnational to the global level and a specific strategy for responding to large movements of migrants. The Secretary-General also sets out plans to conduct intensive consultations within the United Nations system to address how the Organization can adapt to provide better support for the global compact and sets out proposals for follow-up to the compact by Member States.
Press Release
UN Migration Agency Welcomes UN Secretary General's Report – Making Migration Work for All
New York – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, welcomed Thursday (11/01) the release of the UN Secretary General's report, Making Migration Work for All. The Report comes at a crucial time in the process to develop a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration, and will serve as an important contribution to global discourse on international migration…
The Report makes note of the fact that most of the world's 258 million international migrants already move through safe, orderly and regular means, and that they bring significant benefits to their destination and origin countries.
The report notes, for example: migrants spend, on average, some 85 per cent of their earnings in their host countries, thereby not only addressing skills and labour shortages there, but also contributing directly to economic growth through consumption of goods and services locally. Moreover, migrants remit homeward 15 per cent of their earnings – in 2017 some USD 600 billion, per World Bank estimates – to the benefit of their families and communities in sender countries which, for many, is a lifeline.
Nonetheless, many countries today confront significant challenges surrounding migration governance.
With migration an expanding global reality, the Report brings a fresh coherence to the migration narrative. It challenges governments to put in place comprehensive national systems to manage migration, based on the rule of law. It places rightful emphasis on the need to maximize the benefits that migration offers.
IOM particularly commends the Report's commitment to the notion that migration should be a matter of choice, not necessity, as well as the importance it attaches to protecting the rights of all migrants. IOM shares the UN Secretary General's concern about migrants in vulnerable situations, including those in large and mixed flows and those affected by the growing effects of environmental degradation and climate change. The emphasis of the Report on addressing irregular migration is also particularly welcome.
"The best way to end the stigma of illegality and abuse around migrants is, in fact, for governments to put in place more legal pathways for migration," said UN SG Antonio Guterres. "This will remove incentives for individuals to break the rules, while better meeting the needs of markets for foreign labour."..
At the same time, Making Migration Work for All clearly recognizes that governments retain the authority to determine the conditions of entry and stay of migrants, consistent with international standards, and recognizes countries' legitimate security concerns as well. The Report stresses that migration is not, per se, a threat and emphasizes the importance of ensuring cooperative approaches to human, state and public security, including on border management and returns.

Ever since the inaugural Single Marine Program (SMP) Day of Service began in 2015, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point has taken pride in supporting this observance through volunteerism each year. Now a weeklong event, the Cherry Point SMP has scheduled more than 40 volunteer service projects during the 2019 SMP Days of Service, from April 22 to 28. Participants will volunteer with a variety of organizations, especially those focused on hurricane recovery, to mitigate the damage caused by Hurricane Florence last year.
Among the organizations that Cherry Point SMP volunteers serve is the Veterans Employment Basecamp and Organic Garden. The Cherry Point SMP has been volunteering with the Veterans Organic Garden since the project's start in 2014. SMP volunteers provide support to the Garden on a regular basis, growing fresh fruits and vegetables and helping with garden construction projects like clean-up, painting, lawn machine repair, planting, harvesting, and more. Their efforts directly support local homeless and disadvantaged veterans.
The Cherry Point SMP has partnered with the Veterans Organic Garden during four of the last five years of Days of Service. Last year, the Garden suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Florence. Amazingly, The Pallet House, built by SMP Volunteers, survived the Hurricane and subsequent flooding. This year, Cherry Point SMP Volunteers will complete special projects for Days of Service to rebuild and strengthen the garden structures. On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Cherry Point SMP will be constructing garden beds out of cinderblock and installing fencing. Interested volunteers can register at www.smp.mccscherrypoint.com.
Find out how you can get involved with Days of Service on your installation this year by contacting your SMP Coordinator.
Now in its fifth year, the Single Marine Program (SMP) Days of Service week runs from April 22 until April 28, 2019.
This year's Single Marine Program Days of Service Event was a huge success. Find out more about the program, volunteering, and how both can help you.

The Steve Machine is a novel that toys with our notion of reality. A kind of fictionalized biography of Toronto video artist Steve Reinke, it is a faithful meditation on his art that nevertheless skews some of the key details of his life (in particular, the fictional "Steve" is here diagnosed as HIV positive, which the real-life Reinke is not). Other characters, such as a shambling orgy enthusiast ("the most undiscriminating man I'd ever met"), are also named for non-fictional counterparts — in this case, fellow fringe filmmaker Wrik Mead — though the degree of realism is equally questionable. The living, breathing Reinke is even called on to perpetuate the ruse. "I love this book," he enthuses in a jacket blurb, "though I prefer the original title, Steve Reinke, the Greatest Video Artist in the World."
Ostensibly, the debut novel from filmmaker and critic Mike Hoolboom (who has been living with HIV for close to two decades) is the story of how Auden, himself recently diagnosed, copes with the disease by latching onto Reinke in an intimate, mostly platonic love affair. As the two nurse each other through stages of the disease, Reinke divulges his life story in a series of elliptical anecdotes — part confessional, part portrait of the boundary-pushing artist as a young man. Auden is literally taken over by Reinke's tale, possessed by the "grain of [his] magnificent voice," which he compares to the subvocal tone one hears while reading. The book, meanwhile, acts as "a machine for producing this voice," a sly nod to Reinke's own highly conceptual work.
Toward the end of the book, Reinke eulogizes an artist who produced work of such beauty that it filled "its viewers with a perfect and individual happiness." "[She] was the only true genius I ever met," he says. "Unfortunately her chosen vocation was video art, which ensured that no one but her closest friends would ever understand her." The Steve Machine possesses the same urgency. Like Reinke's ambitious project The Hundred Videos, it twists reality and fantasy, memory and desire, to create an intuitive hybrid in which art transcends individual identity.

Motioning with his right hand, the gunman ordered an employee to give him money from a cash register, police officials say.
The man then fled in a gray or light blue Jeep Wrangler that had been parked in front of the restaurant.
Authorities said the vehicle's rear-mounted tire was also uncovered and appeared to have white lettering on the side wall.

text: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas denounced as "despicable and low" Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's remarks about the responsibility of mufti Hajj Amin Husseini for the Holocaust on Wednesday.Abbas accused Netanyahu of trying to "change the history" of the Jewish people by blaming Husseini instead of Adolf Hitler.PLO Secretary-General Saeb Erekat also denounced Netanyahu, saying in a statement that, "Netanyahu hates Palestinians so much that he is willing to absolve Hitler of the murder of six million Jews."Erekat claimed that Palestinians had fought alongside the Allied Troops in defense of international justice. "Palestinian efforts against the Nazi regime are a deep-rooted part of our history," he said. "Palestine will never forget – though it seems Netanyahu's extremist government has."Erekat said that this was a "sad day in history when the leader of the Israeli government hates his neighbor so much that he is willing to absolve the most notorious war criminal in history, Adolf Hitler, of the murder of six million Jews.""Mr. Netanyahu should stop using this human tragedy to score points for his political end," he said.PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi accused Netanyahu of "losing touch with reality" and "lying." She said that Netanyahu's remarks were "political and historic hallucination."Social media and the Israeli political scene were abuzz on Wednesday after Netanyahu's suggestion that Hitler initially had no intention of massacring European Jewry went viral.In a speech to delegates at the 37th World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem on Tuesday, the premier claimed that Hitler's original intentions were solely to expel the Jews.According to Netanyahu, the Fuhrer changed his mind at the insistence of the then-Palestinian Arab leader, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who argued that the expulsion of the Jews would result in their arrival en masse to Palestine, which at the time was under British Mandatory rule.Netanyahu made the claim as part of an effort to illustrate the Palestinian propensity to use the holy places in Jerusalem as pretexts for committing acts of violence against Jews."My grandfather came to this land in 1920 and he landed in Jaffa, and very shortly after he landed he went to the immigration office in Jaffa," Netanyahu told delegates on Tuesday. "And a few months later it was burned down by marauders. These attackers, Arab attackers, murdered several Jews, including our celebrated writer [Yosef Haim] Brenner.""And this attack and other attacks on the Jewish community in 1920, 1921, 1929, were instigated by a call of the mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was later sought for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials because he had a central role in fomenting the final solution," the premier said. "He flew to Berlin. Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, 'If you expel them, they'll all come here.' 'So what should I do with them?' he asked. He said, 'Burn them'."
