The apartment experience was EXCELLENT!!! I really enjoyed the month that I lived in the apartment, as it was very comfortable in size with the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room and open space/common areas. The location was excellent with great coffee shops, restaurants, parks (both Charles Schultz Park and Central Park) within 5-15 minutes distance, subway stations nearby and great neighborhood. The owner's were very nice and always happy to help in any way with anything that could potentially come up. Could not recommend the apartment more!

Sam, thank you for your review and good ratings. We do our best to help our guest to have the best experience while in NYC. If I'd known of theses issues when they happened I would've helped solving them right away, as we did with the doorknob that was actually replaced as soon as we were notified. I'd have appreciated a text or an email about the toilet, it's something easy to check and fix. We fumigate every 3 months against any pests, just keep in mind is also important to keep the place clean so they are not attracted. Finally, we'll review your suggestion about the A/C.

The apartment owner was great. He was very friendly and extremely helpful, volunteering to bring a lot of our stuff all the way up the five floor walk-up. The apartment was nice. I liked the location, there were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores, even if it was a little far from the subway. Some things could be improved in the apartment itself. The couch and bed were not very comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and thought it was a good value.

I truly enjoyed my stay in this beautiful apartment. Although I was staying far away from home, I felt very comfortable and at home and had all the equipment and amenities I needed. The apartment is located in a very nice neighborhood with all relevant stores, many caf�s and restaurants in walking distance. MTA transportation is not very far either and Lexington Avenue is also in walking distance. During my apartment search, I had visited a dozen of apartments and I did like none of them except for this apartment.

The apartment is perfectly located in a quaint and quiet area of Yorkville. I stayed here for 3 1/2 months and just loved it! The landlord met me on my first night and took the time to give me an overview of NY - they were incredibly helpful and responsive during my entire stay! I would stay here again in a heartbeat! The apartment was clean, well furnished and spacious for a NY apartment. It was a great experience!

This apartment is available for 2 guests and there is a queen-size bed in the bedroom. Therefore, the sofa bed in the living room is intended for sitting, and indeed not as a long-term sleeping solution.

Fine-Tuning the Arts
Westminster takes shape on two campuses
By Paul Mullin
Restructuring of programs on the Lawrenceville and Princeton campuses has led to the creation of a new academic college at Rider.
The new Westminster College of the Arts (WCA) will include Westminster Choir College (WCC) and the School of Fine and Performing Arts (SFPA), President Mordechai Rozanski announced yesterday.
According to Dr. Patrick Chmel, who is to be the associate dean of the SFPA, this new school signals Rider's commitment to the arts.
"It is a major restructuring of the visual and performing arts on the Princeton and the Lawrenceville campuses," said Chmel, the current chair of the Fine Arts Department.
The SFPA, which is technically already in operation, consists of the current Fine Arts Department — the arts, dance, music and theater programs — as well as the music theater program from WCC, a bachelor of arts in music program, and a new major in arts administration, Chmel said.
"I think the best word for the new school is 'eclectic,'" Chmel said. "There is going to be the opportunity for new students to come onto this campus who are purely thinking of a professional life in the arts. And there is going to be as much room for the student whose interest is to explore other options."
There will eventually be more than 800 students enrolled in WCA programs, said Dr. Robert Annis, dean of the WCA.
But none of those students, according to Associate Dean of WCC Dr. Marshall Onofrio, will be required to move from one campus to another.
"New students entering the bachelor of arts in music and bachelor of music in music theater majors in fall 2008 will enter at Lawrenceville," Onofrio said. "Students currently in those two majors are on the Princeton campus, where they will remain."
According to Chmel, the music theater and bachelor of arts in music programs, both currently located in Princeton, will be phased onto the Lawrenceville campus over four years.
The new college will alleviate some of Westminster's financial difficulties by more completely integrating it into the University, Annis said.
"Westminster has, since the merger, had some struggles because it has really sat in Princeton and not really been connected to the University, and what we are trying to make sure is that it is fully embedded into the University," Annis said. "It is clearly viewed as a way to benefit the entire University, to finally bring this together so that students, faculty and administrative offices are efficient."
One of the main concerns at the outset was whether or not elementary education and fine arts double majors, who are required to graduate from a liberal arts college, would still be able to do so. According to Chmel and Annis, the SFPA will still be liberal arts-oriented and these students will not suffer because of the change.
Along with the phasing in of programs will be the construction of a new building on the Lawrenceville campus, near Memorial Hall.
According to Annis, it will still be considered an academic building, because in addition to a new "state of the art" theater, it will satisfy the University's need for more classrooms.
"The new theater will allow us to better serve the theater, music theater and the arts because it will be a multi-purpose room," Annis said.
Jonathan Meer, vice president of University Advancement, said the cost of the new building is estimated to be around $16 million, which the University is fundraising for. Meer also said that the building will not be exclusive to the SFPA, but will include classes for other programs as well.
"Just as [the University has] been able to expand what is currently on the Lawrenceville campus in the past few years, [the University is] going to be working hard to approach this in the same way," Annis said.
And with this new theater, comes the increased capacity to put on more performances, Chmel said. Whereas there is currently one musical per year, Chmel estimated that there may be as many as three once the new theater is complete, as well as at least two straight plays and an array of other performances in both the new and existing Fine Arts theaters.
Groundbreaking for the building is expected to begin sometime in 2011, and it should be done by 2012, Chmel said. This means that all music theater students will be on the Lawrenceville campus for a year before the new theater is completed.
Also being discussed are plans for Moore Library, which will likely be asked to shoulder the load of additional texts and supplies, such as musical scores and recordings.
"We have assessed what is most likely to be studied and have identified the needed materials," said Dean of Libraries William Chickering. "We are talking with the academic budget officer about funding for compact shelving."
Chmel called the whole process a "Renaissance of the arts at Rider."
"Ultimately it means the arts are going to flourish on this campus," Chmel said. "I think it's going to be a sort of candy shop of people enjoying themselves in the arts."

People are constantly looking for entertainment. In many cases we're looking for things to connect with. These connections could come from just about anywhere. For me, much of my own experience and connection have come through sports. Through sport I've been fortunate to have made some amazing friends and have once in a lifetime experiences. I've been blessed to be a player, coach, and spectator in a number of sports. What draws me to sports is the action and the overall experience that it provides.
Think about what makes certain sports or sporting events so electric. What are the ingredients that bring the sport alive both in person and on TV. It boils down to the stories told on the court and the drama of the moment. Throw in a crowd atmosphere and the entire experience has the potential to boil over into something special. The action on the court must transcend into the fan experience. It's what brings the passion from the fans and enhances the experience.
Floorball, like other sports, is a sport that you can fall in love with. While you may not have the same hard hitting as hockey, or physical play as football, it does have its own style and essence. One the things that struck me when I first saw the sport were how smooth the flow of the game was. At the top levels this is very apparent, and is a sight to behold. If you had a chance to watch the 2019 Women's World Floorball Championships you were treated to one of the best matches to be played. Between the amazing fans from the Swiss to the amazing plays made by the Swiss women's team. I could explain what happens but just go search the semi-final match on YouTube. I guarantee it's worth it.
If you're looking for a sport with excitement, skill, with precision passing and shooting you can't go wrong with Floorball. From a youth development perspective it has all the ingredients to attract a new audience to sports. Tastes are changing and kids are looking for something new and different. People would argue that attention spans are changing, but I think that kids are looking to not be left out so early in the process. If you're not playing at a certain level by age 8 you're left out. That should never be the fact, and with little development it is easier to attract new players with a familiar but new sport. Since the sport is more or less non-contact that may also attract people to play.
Floorball has a lot going for it, and people are taking notice. What's going to help is getting more people to experience first-hand what it has in store. The best way to do that is creating opportunities to engage and experience the sport.

Conflict of Laws Issues in International Arbitration: Practice and Trends
Arbitration International, Vol. 9, 1993
22 Pages Posted: 14 Jan 2012
Date Written: December 1, 1993
This paper examines the different methods of conflict of laws or private international law that arbitrators follow in order to determine the proper law or applicable substantive law of a contract when the choice of law provision is absent. It is shown that there are two principal trends in those methods that lead respectively to the theories of localization and delocalization or denationalization of international arbitration.The arbitrator's freedom of will plays an important role towards such denationalization. However, to what extent arbitrators can exercise that freedom is a matter of some controversy. On the issues of choice of law theory and practice, the paper attempts to offer some practical insights.

President Donald Trump considers himself at the forefront of respect for service members and expressed gratitude to former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Zach Fuentes for denying a report that the president called fallen military members "losers."
Fuentes' denial countered a story published in The Atlantic that Trump canceled a 2018 visit to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France because he didn't consider honoring fallen war veterans as important. After having thanked Fuentes on Twitter, Trump told reporters during Monday's briefing that he was "very happy" that the former White House staffer said the story wasn't true.

"Who would say a thing like that? Only an animal would say a thing like that," Trump said. "There's nobody that has more respect for not only our military but people who gave our lives in the military."
Fuentes, who worked for former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, told Breitbart on Monday that he didn't hear Trump say the cemetery, which is dedicated to Americans killed during World War I, was "filled with losers." Declaring himself to be on the record, Fuentes told Breitbart he wasn't one of the people who spoke to The Atlantic for the story and said Kelly wouldn't have tolerated the comment.
"Honestly, do you think General Kelly would have stood by and let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers?" Fuentes said.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Summarized by Yanagawa Tomoki
Jesuit Social Center staff
The Jesuit Social Center, in collaboration with St. Ignatius Church, is holding a series of seminars in 2018 under the theme "Christian diagnosis of actual Japan". This article is a resume of the proposals shared by 3 lay panelists at a symposium held on May 16, 2018.
Yamagishi Motoko
I am a graduate of the Economics department at Sophia University. Since graduation I dedicated my time supporting foreign residents and refugees in Japan. The origin of my motivation was encounters with professors and priests of Sophia University, in particular Professor Bonet. At the time, foreigners living in Japan were required to submit to mandatory fingerprinting when they officially register. Having considered that this process was discriminatory treatment, Professor Bonet refused fingerprinting while maintaining his university post despite becoming an overstayed non-regular resident. Before graduating from the university I attended Professor Bonet's seminars on social problems faced by Koreans in Japan as well as issues faced by Okinawans and Minamata disease patients, etc. In addition, I have also visited such groups which deepened my experiences in the seminar sessions. These past experiences have since become linked to my actual work.
During the 90's, many foreigners entered Japan which saw a growth in the number of non-regular residents and overstayers. When I graduated from the university at that time and became employed with an NGO, Japan was witnessing a shrinking labor force which became an opportunity for many from Asian countries that entered Japan with a tourist visa and worked as they overstayed. There were about 300,000 of them and, at the time, I felt that Japanese society showed much tolerance to accept them.
While taken for granted with little respect, vulnerable migrants from Asia experience unpaid wages, unjust layoffs, or refused admissions to hospitals after an accident, constant movement from one place to another, culminating to human rights violations. Nevertheless at the same time, people answered the call to assist them.
In those days, Catholic parishes were filled with Filipino/as and Latin Americans. The Episcopal Commission for Social Issues of the Catholic Bishops'Conference of Japan published a message "Toward the Kingdom of God beyond Borders (1993)." Progressing further than Japanese society, the Church in Japan tried to form multicultural and multinational communities.
In the second half of the 90's I worked for almost 7 years in the Solidarity Center for Migrants (SOL) within the Yokohama diocese which had Latin American, Philippine, and Korean Desk. I worked together with individuals from a variety of nationalities and ethnic cultures and felt enriched by connecting with them.
It is a fact that human rights violations occur within our society, ranging from refusing to provide the same social acceptance of foreigners to the denial of guaranteeing equality. Many people whom I met at the SOL and at the KALAKASAN―Migrant Women Empowerment Center were migrants that married a Japanese partner and were seeking assistance from of acts of domestic violence and are receiving assistance to survive in Japan. Due to my activities and since I was not personally attached to any Japanese community, I felt that I was given an opportunity to experience how to be able to break through the closed nature of Japanese society.
I think that this type of positive perspective will provide great help in contemporary Japanese society. During the 90's, Japanese society reacted with tolerance towards foreign overstayers remaining in Japan. However, I feel that because of a series of simultaneous terrorist acts in the United States, terrorist surveillance, and rejection of migrants―in other words chauvinism―have spread all over, affecting Japanese society as well. The multinational community where I work with has the power to break through such barriers. Since the members come from diverse backgrounds, this group enjoys an enriching vision wider than the demands of uniformity in Japanese society.
Another characteristic is that since we are Catholic based with a Christian outlook, I feel that our values are different from the closed and exclusive vision that seems the norm today. The chauvinistic exclusion of migrants is on the increase, creating the image that Japanese are different from foreigners. In fact, the situation has not improved for the last 25 years, instead it has worsened. Searching for a solution, as it is written in "Reverence for Life: A New Look", "It is important to respect each person. Before God all of us are equally important. Human dignity and rights are equal to all". This Catholic teaching is important for Japanese society.
Japan refuses almost all refugees and the situation is appalling. Last year about 19,000 applied for refugee status with only 20 granted asylum. No matter how much they plea for protection, Japanese society refuses them. I feel it is in this context that Catholic-inspired public statements must often be expressed.
Yagishita Osamu
I always commute to a small church in Yokohama and regularly teach Science and Moral Ethics at Eiko Gakuen Jesuit Middle and High School. Starting next year, we will teach moral education which has me researching textbooks sent to the school from 8 different publishers in order to select which one to adopt. The textbooks are full of very good stories such as one from the life of Mother Teresa. All the teaching materials are filled with beautiful accounts but the conclusions are also included to induce the students. In fact, everything comes to a kind of a clearly guided imposition to the schools.
A different matter concerns the Guiding directory of 20 different subjects. Everything is offered decided. For this subject these teaching materials, for the other one those teaching materials. In addition, there is also a subject called "As a Japanese citizen…" What is that!? …As Ms. Yamagishi has already mentioned, currently in Japan we have so many non-Japanese children enrolled in schools.
In my school we do not follow a method of imposing on children a whole set of moral values, instead we let each child select what they think if it suits them. Examining the textbooks, I again happened to think how terrible it will be to have one pattern of morality imposed on the children all over Japan.
I am also an adviser to the soft tennis club and during the matches, I meet with young industrious teachers of public schools who most probably do not have free time to study the teaching materials. When told to teach morals, most schools will probably use the given textbooks to impose on the children the content as it appears. Moreover, they will evaluate by the written text. I am very much afraid of that.
"Time is greater than space" is a strong statement of Pope Francis. "Time governs spaces, illumines them and makes them link in a constantly expanding chain, with no possibility of return" (Evangelii Gaudium no. 223). Surely our society is characterized by many evil incidents, but I believe thinking long-term is heading in a right direction. If we work little by little and taking our time, we can realize that we live continually growing ahead without returning. Is not giving us hope? There are many depressing issues that seem very difficult to solve such as the plight of migrants or those concerning moral education. Nevertheless I think that our actions lead us to take time without despair.
First of all, let's not rush ourselves. Since we have a body, heart, and soul, I think it is essential for us to properly eat and care about our health. This year I celebrate the 30th wedding anniversary with my wife who has prepared my lunches every time. I feel that the daily lunch is my strongest support.
The school where I work at is full of affluent families yet I often hear of children who buy their dinner in a convenience store and dine alone at home while others have dinner in a family restaurant. How to think about it? Yet those children are able to eat while many others do not have food as poverty is certainly a real problem and something has to be done to solve it. I think it is important that everybody has enough food to eat and can enjoy having enough.
Kurosu Yurina
After graduating from the university, I began in April working as a member of the society. As for myself, I am still socially inexperienced and it is not yet possible for me to diagnose the present society in Japan. I thought to myself, "what could I say about this theme as a young woman and a lay person?" I am parishioner of St. Ignatius Church in Tokyo and have been involved in teaching junior & senior high school students in the church, and as a leader for five years until two years ago. I have finished leading high school classes and now I am, little by little, participating in the activities of a youth group.
As Mr. Yagishita has just talked about meals, I would also like to talk about "Stella Kids Café," an activity I have started about two years ago for school students who are left alone at home during dinner time. My idea was to invite them to our church, prepare meals together, and dine together.
Actually, the purpose of this activity is to find ways to solve the problem of children returning home alone and are accustomed to eating meals with no one else around with food that is unhealthy. In Japanese we call them "Ko meals". The Japanese words that start with "Ko" have a peculiar meaning, like eating individually (Kobetsu), food from convenience (Konbini) stores, food from the refrigerator (reizouko) and warmed up, and children (Kodomo) eating alone. Our Stella Kids Café offers the children better ways to eat together serving them a common meal and at the same time sharing conversations and a place to stay together. That way we try to eliminate the loneliness experienced by many children who usually cannot enjoy a peaceful family dinner with their parents because they are working in the evenings and usually return home late at night.
Participating in this, I remembered the first Christians in the history of the Church who were accustomed to sharing the same food, eating from the same table, breaking the loaves of bread they shared, and praying together. Such was the origin of early Christian communities. I thought about acting somehow in a similar way to spread the Gospel. Nevertheless, I feel myself still grasping for the way.
The children coming to St. Ignatius Church seem like they belonged to wealthy families. Indeed they attend private schools of high educational standards or well-known famous schools, yet many suffer from heartbreak. There are many children who seek a safe place in church because of the bullying they suffer in school and the lack of mutual understanding with their parents. As church school leaders, we are conscious of such situations and inform them that our church is the home of everybody and it is always open for them any time they desire to come. Therefore it is our duty to serve the children coming every week to learn in the church school.
However, as a student volunteer I was worrying about how could I support those children without knowing steeping deeper into their situations with school and family since I do not have the ability to assume legal responsibility. I realized that, aside from our contact with the children, it is necessary for us establish a system to also request assistance from the church and to not do it only by ourselves because of our limited abilities. There are probably medical professionals, counselors, and teachers among the members of this church. When I did not know whom I should ask for help when I was in trouble, I decided to inform the parishioners about the needs we had through the monthly church bulletin "Magis." To my surprise, we received responses and the number of people willing to help us increased. Thus I learned it is very important to raise the voice asking for help from outside my circle.
The following year after finishing my task as a church school leader, I was able to start "Stella Kids Café" and "Stella Study Room" as ex-leader, which is a church activity that link adults and children by inviting schoolchildren to study and enjoy snacks together at the library room in the church center.
My first contact to Church was when I was 17 years old. At the time I felt sick and looked for someone who I could talk about my disease and worries as I could not confide those to my family and friends. Then I decided to go to church where I understand that it is open for those children who are really suffering and feel lonely too. Yet I am afraid whether ordinary people and children are aware of that in their daily life.
In Japan many people do not have any proper religion and as their children cannot find advisers to consult their troubles there is no other way but to keep their suffering to themselves. The church is open to children in need but our challenge is how to convey that to them.
And concerning religious practices, we cannot forcibly impose religious beliefs on people. To promote the encounter of children or adults with God and their relationship with the Church, one has to wait for the right time to do it. When we pray that God shows us the timing to encounter him, will we notice it?
I was given a chance to join the World Youth Day by St. Ignatius Church and was able to connect with the group Ecumenical Project, the Catholic Radio & Internet Program, and other several groups through our church youth activities. Because of that, I thought it is important to prepare a liaison website connected beyond the church as a network for children. It is necessary for people who cannot come to church and need help to have a place where they can present their needs by searching on the internet.
I am lucky that I could receive such blessings and support in my present activities but if I did not know the existence of the Church I wouldn't have found my way. Because my parents are Christians I tried to go to church when I was in trouble. People can also have the opportunity to visit a church when events are organized there. This is why it is important to inform outsiders about events taking place in the church to let people know that the church is always open to the public, inviting everybody to participate.
As a layperson what I can do is to go where God shows and calls me and to stay there, raising my voice to those outside the church.

Especially during the current economic client, capital investments are difficult for companies to rationalize. But investments in green technology are getting some much-needed support from insurance carriers based upon risk modeling from experts such as Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard, chief executive of Munich Re, according to the New York Times:
Insurance, he argues, can play an important ?pace-making? function, helping accelerate the adoption of green energy by assessing, quantifying and spreading risk.
?A performance warranty creates a liability on a company?s balance sheet,? explained Christian Scharrer, a risk analyst with the unit. ?Most companies don?t have the capital structure to keep it on their own balance sheet,? he said, let alone pay out a hefty claim.
?Insurance can support the modernization of economies and societies by encouraging the development of new technology and enhancing innovation,? he said at a recent panel discussion on climate change at the Shanghai Expo.
The task of crunching the numbers and pricing new green insurance products falls to teams of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, lawyers and other analysts in groups like Munich Re?s special enterprise risk unit. In 2007, they were asked by a solar panel manufacturer to come up with some insurance that would backstop the 20- or 25-year warranties that prospective customers were demanding.

US Congress releases bill on Nord Stream 2 sanctions
The US Congress released a bill on the sanctions against individuals and legal entities involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
It proposes to impose sanctions against companies that use their vessels to lay pipeline at a depth of 100 feet below sea level. Sanctions may also apply to the vessel insurers.
According to the bill, the president of the United States may impose five or more types of sanctions against the targeted parties.
The bill stipulates, among other things, that visas will not be issued to directors and shareholders with controlling stakes in the companies on the sanctions list. Furthermore, a ban will be imposed on payments and real estate transactions in the US jurisdiction, as well as on capital investments. In addition, a ban on the export of goods and technologies to the sanctioned companies may be introduced.
Participants in the construction of Nord Stream 2 will also be banned from using US government contractors for goods and services.
US financial institutions may prohibit the issuance of loans totaling more than $ 10 million every 12 months.
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline would pass through the Baltic Sea, connecting suppliers from the Russian Federation with consumers in Europe. Its planned length will be more than 1.2 thousand km, throughput capacity - 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Gazprom started the project in alliance with European companies Engie, Uniper, OMV, Shell and Wintershall.

Pepperoni Pizza Bites are a crowd pleasing easy appetizer! The pie crust gives them a flaky outside while the inside is filled with amazing melted cheese!
Do you remember Totino's Pizza Rolls? If you grew up in the 80's and 90's you probably had them a lot! I did and they were fantastic! They were tied with Bagel Bites, I think, for the dinner we would have when Mom and Dad would go out and we had a babysitter. I was thinking about them the other day and decided to make my version. Pepperoni Pizza Bites are so much better, in my opinion. They become something that you can serve company or a really yummy after school snack. My kids would love to help make these with me. It's a really kid friendly recipe. I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl on Sunday and decided on something pizza to nibble on. I've already made them twice this week and they are gone in minutes every time I do. You can't beat a buttery flaky crust filled with sauce and melty cheese and pepperoni!!!
This is a super semi-homemade recipe. If you have a favorite pie crust that you love, totally use that. I like to have my Best EVER Pizza Sauce on hand for family pizza night, so I used that. It tastes better than anything that you get at the store but if you don't have the time use what you've got. I think I'm going to be making batch number three this week to serve up for the Super Bowl on Sunday. I may just make a double batch. You could always make the pockets up the day before but stop after you seal the edges with the fork. Place them in an airtight container and then when you're ready to bake them off, brush them with egg wash and sprinkle with the garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Pepperoni Pizza Bites are a seriously easy appetizer recipe that you've got to add to your game day menu!
- 1 pkg. pre-made refrigerated pie crust
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1/4 cup Parmesan shredded
- preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper
- carefully unroll the pie crust dough and, using a rolling pin, flatten out any rough spots
- use a 3 inch cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles of dough
- remaining dough can be rolled out again to create more pizza bites
- place these on the baking sheet
- in a small bowl whisk together the egg and water
- brush egg wash around the edges of each circle
- spread 1/2 tsp of pizza sauce on one half of the circle, making sure to not go over the egg wash
- place 1 tsp of mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce and then 3-4 mini pepperoni over the cheese
- fold over the bare side of the pie dough, making a half circle and tap the edges down with your fingers
- using a fork crimp the edges together ensuring that they are sealed
- brush with egg wash and sprinkle with garlic salt
- place Parmesan cheese on top of each pie dough
- bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown
- enjoy!

Young, incognito MSU offensive line hopes to display maturation this fall
EAST LANSING – Maybe it's like Michigan State's offensive linemen claim, a way to bond.
Or maybe their new, bushy mustaches are meant as an illusion to appear older than they actually are.
"The mustache is new," sophomore left tackle Cole Chewins said through his blondish Fu Manchu. "They may not be pretty, but we do things together. There's some good ones."
It's not just the facial hair that's new. The Spartans' offensive line will have plenty of fresh faces along it this season.
More MSU news:
Forecasting how Michigan State football will recover from 3-9 last year
Michigan State's 1st practice in pads shows how team builds toughness
Michigan State wide receivers are young, 'but we're ready, too'
Senior Brian Allen returns as the veteran presence – 38 career games and 25 starts, including MSU's last 15 games over the past two seasons. Allen entered preseason camp projected to start at center, where he has four career starts to go with 16 at left guard and five at right guard. A 2016 second-team All-Big Ten lineman after being the only offensive player to start every game for the Spartans, Allen is on the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation's best center.
But gone are starters Kodi Kieler, Brandon Clemons, Benny McGowan and Miguel Machado. Aside from Allen, MSU's other four projected starters for the Sept. 2 opener against Bowling Green own just 14 career starts between them.
"I think we got seven or eight guys who can be good football players and be dominant up front," Allen said. "It's just getting those guys experience. Learning from mistakes in fall camp, I think, will be huge for the young guys."
The Spartans averaged 2.3 sacks allowed in their 12 contests last fall, tied for the fifth-highest rate per game in the Big Ten, but 22 of the 27 came during conference play. Their 172.7 rushing yards per game ranked sixth overall in the conference.
"We've got to win up front – I think there's no question – in order to be successful," 11th-year MSU coach Mark Dantonio said. "You've got to win up front on both sides of the ball. Some of that is just raw toughness and raw ability at times, and obviously technique and what we're doing."
Chewins, who Dantonio called "a great attention-to-detail guy," started the final three games last season. He and fellow third-year sophomore Tyler Higby showed plenty of promise on the left side of the line late in the year. However, Higby broke his ankle against Rutgers and missed the final two games after starting six straight at left guard. He's back and healthy again.
Luke Campbell became the Spartans' surprise of the spring by claiming the starting right tackle spot. The redshirt freshman benefits from the departure of Thiyo Lukusa, who appeared to be on track for a key role before leaving the program after playing as a true freshman.
Junior David Beedle, who struggled last season at left tackle despite starting six games there, moves inside to right guard. After Allen, he is MSU's next-most experienced returning lineman.
"It definitely starts up front with us. We gotta take care of our business," Chewins said. "That's one big thing that we're focusing on. We need to get our job done, individually and as a unit. We've just been focusing on knowing all of our roles and our teammates' roles. To be that cohesive and jell, like past teams have, that's where we need to be."
There is more unproven depth behind them. The second-string group during the spring game included senior Dennis Finley at left tackle, junior Chase Gianacakos at left guard, redshirt freshman Matt Allen at center, junior Casey Schreiner at right guard and redshirt freshman AJ Arcuri at right tackle. Finley is the only backup with much college game experience, though he hardly played a year ago after a broken leg ended his 2015 season.
MSU also has a group of four true freshmen offensive linemen in Matt Carrick, Kevin Jarvis, Mustafa Khaleefah and Jordan Reid. Dantonio said it was too early to tell who could contribute, though their teammates have had positive reviews.
"But they have the athletic ability and the strength component to be able to do that," Dantonio said.

LINN Energy announced Monday that it will slash oil and natural gas capital expenditures in 2015 by 53 percent and cut dividends as crude prices hit five and a half year lows.
The company set its 2015 annual capital expenditure budget at $730 million, down from $1.55 billion in 2014.
LINN will also reduce its annual dividend to $1.25 per unit or share in 2015, down from $2.90 per share.
The Houston-based producer said it expects to fund its total 2015 oil and natural gas capital program, including distribution, with internally generated cash flow.
"In order to solidify the company's financial position and regain a useful cost of capital, we have reduced the oil and natural gas capital budget and distribution while balancing cash flow and spending," LINN CEO, chairman and president Mark E. Ellis said.
The company's 2015 budget assumes an unhedged oil price of $60 per barrel with projected annual production of between 1.11 to 1.235 billion cubic feet equivalent per day.
LINN also signed a non-binding letter of intent Monday with private capital investor GSO Capital Partners, the credit platform of the Blackstone Group, to fund oil and natural gas development.
GSO and its affiliates agreed to commit up to $500 million with a five year availability to fund drilling programs at LINN sites.
The deal covers 100 percent of the costs associated with new wells drilled under the agreement.
GSO will receive an 85 percent working interest in the wells until it achieves a 15 percent internal rate of return on annual groupings of wells.
LINN will carry the remaining 15 percent working interest in the wells.
Upon reaching the internal rate of return target, GSO's interest will be reduced to 5 percent and LINN's share will increase to 95 percent.

March is officially upon us, which means the excitement and drama of March Madness is just around the corner. But before the selection committee reveals the field of 68 teams that punched their ticket to the Big Dance on Selection Sunday, there are 32 automatic bids that will need to be decided by virtue of conference tournament championships. One of these bids will be coming from the Missouri Valley Conference, in which the UNI Panthers are coming in as heavy favorites to earn the conference's automatic bid. Of course, the tournament still needs to happen and games still need to be played, with this weekend in St. Louis being the venue for the 30th playing of the Missouri Valley Conference's Arch Madness Tournament.
UNI comes into the tournament having clinched the No.1 seed and the regular season conference championship. The Panthers also have the best overall record in the conference by far, sitting at 25-5 for the year. Finishing one game behind them in the standings were the Ramblers of Loyola-Chicago, a team who made a Cinderella Final Four run two years ago. Rounding out the top four in the conference are Indiana State as the third seeded team, followed by Bradley at No. 4. The middle of the Valley standings are closely contested, with six different teams separated by only three games, meaning this year's Arch Madness could shape up to be unpredictable.
The first two games of the tournament will take place on Thursday, March 5. Game 1 will feature the No. 8 seeded Drake against the No. 9 seeded Illinois State with the winner taking on the Panthers on Friday, and game 2 matching up the No. 7 seeded Valparaiso versus the No. 10 seeded Evansville with the winner playing Loyola on Friday. Despite Drake being near the bottom of the conference standings, they are still a much better team than their opponent in Illinois State. Expect the Bulldogs to come away with a double-digit victory and face the Panthers in the second round.
UNI has beaten Drake twice already this season, proving that they can easily handle the Bulldogs. The Panthers should take care of Drake in the second round due to their balanced scoring and Drake's inconsistent three-point shooting, and will move on to face the winner of Bradley and Southern Illinois. Bradley is one of the better teams in the conference this year, and will take down the Salukis and advance to face UNI on Saturday.
Saturday's matchup will feature a rematch of the Arch Madness title game from a year ago, in which the Panthers squandered a double-digit lead in the second half. This year's UNI squad is a much improved team from a year ago, and will be looking to avenge last season's fate against the Braves. The Panthers also defeated Bradley twice in the regular season, making this a favorable matchup. The championship game this year will feature the top-seeded Panthers against Indiana State, in an unexpected championship appearance for ISU. The Sycamores are led by guard Tyreke Key, who leads the team in scoring at almost 16 points per game. Key and Indiana State are a team that could easily make a run in Arch Madness and could potentially upset the Panthers, just like they did earlier this season in Terre Haute. However, this season has been one for the ages for UNI, and will be capped off perfectly when they down Indiana State in the championship game and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016.

168 Hour TESOL The TEFL Academy review, submitted by Simon.
The 168 Hour TESOL from this company is a good choice.
I did think though that the course was unnecessarily lengthy and drawn out. It seemed to me that the designers of the course added a lot of text padding in order to make it a 168 Hour TESOL course. I chose this program because TEFL Academy offer more hours than most, but the extra hours made little difference when I was interviewing for jobs. The basic requirement for schools seems to be a TESOL that lists 120 hours. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was my experience.
It was a pretty good course though. Despite the padding, a lot was covered. They made certain to include a lot of grammar work, which is an area that I for one definitely needed help with. It's mostly text-based though, and I found myself needing to go searching online for more explanations for some parts. One of the issues I had was with the explanation of time tenses and conditionals. These were explained in detail in the course, but the Youtube videos I found on the subjects gave some more clarity on when to use each one and for which levels.
The final unit is denoted to finding work and help with the CV and cover letter writing. This was very useful because I wasn't certain how either should look for teaching interviews. On my CV, I listed all of the units taken in the course and that worked out well with how my CV was accepted. There wasn't any actual help in finding work other than the links given within the unit. I could have done with a bit more guidance. At the same time though, I was satisfied not to have been hard-sold a job placement at the end.
I would say go for the course if you have your sights set on it. If I had to choose again, I wouldn't not choose to do it. I'm just not convinced that the extra 48 hours make such a difference.

8 Tips for Healthy Meal Planning for Seniors
Regular consumption of well-balanced and nutritious meals become more vital as a person ages. As the body goes through many changes, seniors need to fill their system with healthy foods to prevent body declination, like loss of bone density and muscle strength.
As a family caregiver or a professional one working in an assisted living facility, meal planning for seniors can become challenging at first and in the long-run.�
You need to curate each ingredient you put in and make sure that each meal tastes good while also ensuring that it is healthy and filled with the nutrients they need.�
On top of that, you need to think of new healthy recipes to cook so they would be enticed to savor their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.�
So, here are eight helpful tips on how to plan healthy meals for seniors.
�1. Plan Ahead
Cooking meals for an average adult might come easy and does not need as much planning as that of seniors.�
To avoid repeating recipes and getting stumped with ideas, it is better to plan at least 3 to 4 days in advance so as to include all considerations when preparing their meals, like their underlying medical condition or medications they are taking.�
Besides adding variety and taste, planning what to cook ahead of time will save much of your time, money, and resources.
�2. Special Nutritional Requirements
As your loved one gets older, their daily nutritional needs change, making specific nutrients more essential than others. This includes:
- Calcium and Potassium
- Vitamin D and Vitamin B12
- Fiber
- Protein
- Healthy fats
You need to prioritize these much-needed nutrients to preserve and keep your loved one�s body healthy while also ensuring that their meals fulfill their stomach. You do not want them getting a snack from that unhealthy cookie jar an hour after eating their breakfast, right?
�3. Serve a Nutrient-Dense Breakfast
You have always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Well, that phrase has never been more accurate for senior adults.
Seniors need a breakfast packed with the right nutrients to provide them with the sufficient energy they need to function for the day. It would also help regulate their metabolism and jumpstart their appetite.
However, it should also be a quick and easy meal since they would have a lower appetite and energy during the mornings. Some ideas include:
- Roasted vegetable salad
- Lean meat wrapped with whole wheat and with diced veggies on the side.
- Oatmeal with real fruits
- Scrambled eggs with fresh vegetables
It would also help your loved ones get their appetites if family members or other loved ones joined them for breakfast.
�4. Prepare a Light Lunch
After consuming a considerable amount of food during breakfast, your loved one would prefer to have a lighter lunch meal.
Instead of the usual highly-processed foods frequently used for lunches, opt for a healthier variety to maintain a healthy balance.
You can grill a salmon, then make a sandwich out of it or try a baked honey turkey breast with potatoes. Salads can also prove to be good lunches. Just watch out for high-fat and high sodium dressing.
�5. Make Way for Healthy Snacks
Snacks may come in handy during a busy day or a pumped-up afternoon (after a Zumba workout).�
You would do well to prepare pre-packed or ready-to-eat snacks for your senior loved ones so they can have something healthy to munch on when they want. For this, you can try buying pre-cut veggies at the market (without preservatives) and fashion a tasty dip or fresh, dried fruits like apples.
If your loved one craves something refreshing, then you can make healthy smoothies and shakes made up of blended fruits and vegetables.
�6. Put Together a Diverse Dinner
One of the best practices to adopt during meal planning for seniors is to keep every meal diverse.�
If you have already served lean meats during lunch, then mix things up by choosing healthy seafood instead, like shrimp and fish meat such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel.
You can include a tasty side dish of steamed veggies, long grain rice, or stir-fried eggplant. To preserve each food�s nutrient content, it is better to prepare them by baking, grilling, poaching, or broiling.�
�7. Try Batch Cooking
As much as you want to cook each meal personally for your loved one, sometimes life responsibilities get in the way and interfere with your intricate meal planning.
For busy family caregivers or family members who want to cook something for their loved ones residing in an assisted living facility, you can try batch cooking.
Prepare and cook healthy meals in batches, place them in glass containers, label them, and freeze your entrees. This way, your loved one can just pull it out of the refrigerator and put it in the microwave to heat it.
Some pre-made meals to try include:
- Lean chicken with vegetable hand pies
- Mediterranean quinoa burger
- Egg muffins with kale and roasted peppers
- Crockpot meals
- Chicken fajitas
- Vegetable soup
- Vegetable lasagna in cups
You can also pre-cut fresh fruits and freeze them so your loved one would have a delicious and healthy munchie later on.
�8. Get Help
Meal planning for seniors is no easy feat. It requires an ample amount of time to evenly schedule sets of decadent and nutritious meals.�
Six months in, and you might find yourself getting repeated ideas or none at all. If this happens, it is okay to accept help from other family members or seek assistance from different sources and experts.
You can try to:
- Download cooking apps to get fresh and healthy recipes perfect for seniors.
- Visit credible websites or watch Youtube videos of healthy entrees.
- Seek help from a professional nutritionist.

Purpose: Itraconazole (ITZ) is a synthetic triazole antifungal agent, which is widely used for treatment and prevention of fungal infections. The purpose of this study is to develop ITZ-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres (PLGA-ITZ-NS) as a new sustained-release formulation for intravenous ITZ administration.
Materials and methods: PLGA-ITZ-NS were prepared by a nanoprecipitation method and optimized by modifying the surfactant poloxamer 188 concentration and PLGA:ITZ ratio. Their physicochemical properties, including size, zeta potential, external morphology and encapsulation efficiency, were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effect of the different selected lyoprotectants with various concentrations on NS particles size and surface charge were also assessed. Rapid and sensitive HPLC and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods were developed to determine ITZ concentrations in formulation and in rat plasma, respectively. Pharmacokinetics of the optimum PLGA-ITZ-NS formulation was compared with the former commercial Sporanox® injection formulation using rats as the animal model. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained by WinNonlin® software.
Results: Optimal PLGA-ITZ-NS had a mean particle size of about 200 nm with a high homogeneity (polydispersity index ≈0.2), favorable zeta potential (approximately -20 to -30 mV) and encapsulation efficiency (72%). In addition, 2% w/v sucrose was selected as a lyoprotectant for NS freeze-drying. The newly developed LC-MS/MS assay was validated and found to be accurate and precise. The in vivo study showed that the NS formulation has a similar systemic bioavailability to Sporanox®while providing a sustained plasma level (>100 ng/mL) for up to 24 hours after intravenous administration.
Conclusion: Our newly developed PLGA-ITZ-NS has shown great sustained release and comparable bioavailability with Sporanox®, therefore having the potential to be an alternative injectable formulation of ITZ.
Keywords: itraconazole, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLGA, nanoparticle, sustained release, pharmacokinetics, intravenous injection

text: jvanegmond 309 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) After several months pondering how to make the best possible plugin architecture, I have come up with an answer. The code is still in an infancy stage and will require work before it can be applied in "real" projects (PM me if you do want to use this and I'll tag along).What I've made allows you to load an Au3 script file at runtime and call methods in it. This script doesn't have to implement or change anything. Combine this with other functionality such as what Eval offers and (shameless self promotion ftw) and this has many different possibilities.There often seems to be some differences in what people expect a plugin architecture should support, but here is what I support:Sometimes the services interface is not included because it's not needed (say other people). That is what I call a one-way plugin architecture, only the main script can call plugin functions. The architecture in the picture is what I call a two-way plugin architecture and that's what I will be demonstrating in this thread.Firstly, I have created a one way plugin architecture. With the provided libraries, one can do this:plugins\hello world.au3:Func HelloWorld($str) MsgBox(0x40, @ScriptName, $str) EndFuncplugin loader.au3:#include "lib\reflection.au3" ; Demonstrating simple plugin loading, one-way ; This can be used when the main script knows which functions are in the plugin and how to use them ; and the plugin does not need to use any functions in the main script (more rare than you think) $script = _RDoFile("plugins\hello world.au3") $script.HelloWorld("Something different this time") $script.Quit()The _R prefix stands for "_Reflection", because that's what I hope to do eventually fully support with this library. What happens in this example is that the reflection library: Reads the script from the .au3 file, modifies the script so that it can export its function, stores the au3 file as temp.au3, runs it.For curious minds, the temp.au3 file that is generated looks as following. This is a technique that I call "COM server injection". (And here you can see why I said the project is in its infancy)#NoTrayIcon ;tehee #include "lib\AutoItObject.au3" Global $oError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "_ErrFunc") Func _ErrFunc() Return EndFunc _AutoItObject_StartUp() Global $oObject = _SomeObject() Global $hObj = _AutoItObject_RegisterObject($oObject, "Manadar.AutoIt.Plugin") While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd _QuitObject(0) Func _SomeObject() Local $oClassObject = _AutoItObject_Class() $oClassObject.AddMethod("HelloWorld", "HelloWorld") $oClassObject.AddMethod("Quit", "_QuitObject") Return $oClassObject.Object EndFunc Func _QuitObject($oSelf) _AutoItObject_UnregisterObject($hObj) $oObject = 0 Exit EndFunc ; ============= ACTUAL SCRIPT ============= Func HelloWorld($o___________________o, $str) MsgBox(0x40, @ScriptName, $str) EndFuncThe reflection library _RDoFile function uses a method to extract all the functions from the original script, and generates the correct $oClassObject.AddMethod calls when generating the COM object.The while-loop that is added before the script is optional. It can be disabled with another parameter in _RDoFile and eventually there will be various ways to initialize scripts this way, either partly or completely. This parameter is necessary for two-way plugins, but we'll see that later on.This shows how simply it is to load an Au3 file and do a bit of "reflection" magic on the code. It greatly increases the versatility and capabilities of AutoIt scripts. The function in its current state can not load Au3 files when the plugin loader script is compiled but that is almost trivial to add.Now we take a look at two-way plugins, here is the plugin loader script:; Demonstrating plugin loading, two-way ; Both the plugin and the main script provide an interface ; This is the most common way to deal with plugins ; You simply load the plugins and the plugin defines the additional behavior, ; by adding items to your menus and handling the functionality for them etc. $o = _RImplementInterface("pluginterface.au3", "Manadar.AutoIt.Main") $called = False $script2 = _RDoFile("plugins\hello forums.au3", True) While Not $called Sleep(100) WEnd Func Print($obj, $s) $called = True MsgBox(0x30, "", $s) EndFuncWe see in this example that the plugin loader script wants to expose a function called 'Print', but this could be anything and any number of functions. The plugin is written as follows (most ideal case, and actually works):plugins\hello forums.au3#include "pluginterface.au3" Print("Hello AutoIt forums!")Via the one-way plugin architecture method we can load the plugin, we read the contents, apply COM injection magic, run the script, done. But the same method does not work the other way around because our main script is already running (and COM injection requires restart). What we can do, is let the main script create a COM server which does not require a restart. We do this via the call to _RImplementInterface, this function gets the functions from the pluginterface.au3 file and creates a COM server which exposes these methods to the outside. The pluginterface.au3 file functions connect to the plugin loader script and forward any calls from the plugin there.The pluginterface.au3 file looks like this and it is possible to entirely automatically generate this file (just when you were thinking: I need to write dumb code for this to work? Lame.):#include "lib\reflection.au3" $main = _RAttach("Manadar.AutoIt.Main") ; just a call to _AutoItObject_ObjCreate() with cbi: Func Print($s) $main.Print($s) EndFuncWith this approach, we have built a fully two-way interface. The code "needs work" and I put this in various comments through the attached files, but the needs work comments are not complete.Some ideas for the future: - COM server injection also exposes global variables like: $script.g_sVar - Automatic generation of the services interface - Very complete reflection library, with the library itself also object oriented ($script.GetMethods()[0].Call() capability) - Support of these features (or similar) in native AutoIt: #1931Attached I have the examples used in this thread, the reflection library and a version of AutoItObject that supports this (v220.127.116.11 I believe). The examples should work "out of the box" with AutoIt v22.214.171.124 (latest stable atm).Edit: Forgot to attach file.

I have been looking for things to keep my mind learning while enduring the forced downtime. Part of my WFH (Work From Home) has allowed me to focus (literally) on my photo library which I have accumulated through years of travel for work or personal. I have never taken the time to actually curate and clean up some of my better shots. Here are some to share with you.
I would love to see what my mates on MV have been up to, outside of restoration projects, etc.

What is Google?
Google is an Internet search engine. It uses a proprietary algorithm designed to extract and classify search results to provide the most relevant and reliable data sources possible. Google's stated mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". It is the world's first search engine, a position that has been criticized and worried about its power to influence the flow of information on the Web.
Google is the almighty. It explores the Web, determining which pages are most useful and relevant to its users for virtually any subject. We do not rely solely on Google results, we rely on them to make decisions all day, for all aspects of our lives. With such power and influence, placing your small business on the first page of Google may seem unrealistic. However, it is precisely this power that Google has that allows more than ever access to the first page of Google results.
Google Beginnings
The google.com domain was registered on September 15, 1997 and the company incorporated on September 4, 1998. The image below is a screenshot of The Internet Archive's website showing what Google looked like in 1998. This allows Google to stand out from the competition and help it continue to grow and become the number one search engine with its Page Rank technique that sorts search results. While being one of the best search engines on the Internet, Google also incorporates many of its other services, such as Google Maps and Google Local, to provide more relevant search results.

- Answers are provided almost instantly.
- You can choose to search for websites, pictures, news, maps, and more.
- It will suggest alternative search terms if you misspell a word or name.
- You can search only in the UK or worldwide.
- Google has also created its own web browser, Google Chrome. The company has a huge commercial side, creating and placing the advertisements that you see often on websites. Plus, Google Analytics is a free service that can provide a tremendous amount of information about how a website works.
Google security features
- Enable secure search to filter mature content
- Browse the web privately
- Restrict access to approved apps and games only on your tablet.
Google products and services
- G Suite - A suite of cloud computing software for businesses.
- Gmail - Free online email service with over 1GB of storage and the best spam protection available.

Miss USA talks diversity, pageants: 'I've faced discrimination in the past'
As a woman of color who has worked in the tech industry and served in the armed forces before winning Miss USA, Deshauna Barber knows what breaking boundaries is like.
Barber, the ninth African-American woman to be crowned Miss USA, discussed her experiences with diversity and pageants in a conversation with USA TODAY, sharing that it's natural for her, and every African-American woman, to be fearful of discrimination.
"Was I a little fearful that maybe my skin color might play a role in whether I win? I was a little bit nervous about that," she said.
"Pageants are nerve-wracking in general. As African-American women, we do face discrimination at times, and it's a natural fear I feel in every single field, whether it's in the Department of Commerce when I was working there, or the military, or pageants, or even walking into a store."
Miss District of Columbia absolutely nailed her interview question before winning Miss USA
However, Barber was nothing but complimentary of the Miss Universe organization for embracing diversity on the pageant stage.
"I'm not the first African-American woman to win the competition, and I think it goes to show not only as a woman of color but as a soldier, an IT analyst, a woman with her masters degree, that the Miss Universe organization is looking for diversity," she said.
This year, four of the five finalists — Miss Georgia, Miss Hawaii, Miss California and Barber's Miss District of Columbia — were women of color.
Miss USA's sister competition, Miss Teen USA, also made headlines this month with a decision to eliminate the swimsuit competition.
"The Miss USA top five, we were all so different," she said. "It goes to show that not only was the Miss Universe organization open to anything, and they're not looking for a particular look, what they were looking for is a woman that could handle that platform and spotlight. It's amazing to know they're so open-minded."
That's why she chose to compete in Miss USA over other pageants, she explained. "I'm a little nervous about how I'm going to be seen since I've faced discrimination in the past," she said. "But Miss Universe has a prominent track record of being open to diversity, and I knew this was the organization I wanted to be a part of."
