One of the strongest memories of my years of playing the violin is when my teacher defined the "sweet spot." It was that place and moment when your bow rested right in between the fingerboard and bridge, when you applied the right amount of pressure, and when you drew the bow smoothly and evenly, getting the richest sound. It took me some time to learn how to find the sweet spot but eventually I got it, and I was able to make some beautiful music - a metaphor I've applied to other areas in life. As I get older, I've come to believe that what's meant for us is truly for us. Through some of my most difficult disappointments, I've only gotten through by clutching onto the belief that the right opportunities would come along and I'd find my sweet spot.
I've also come to strongly believe that the things we call coincidences aren't coincidences at all. It's my hypothesis that if we're paying attention, we'll see that synchronicities are all around us - dots get connected, links get made, and things that didn't make sense suddenly become crystal clear when the other piece of the puzzle drops into place minutes, months, or years later.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about sweet spots, opportunity, and synchronicity - especially as it relates to work and where I see my career going. A few years ago at one job, I was (allegedly) called a racist by higher-ups because someone found this very blog and thought it was problematic for me to discuss issues related to being a Black woman in Canada. I eventually started job hunting, hoping to land a position in writing or communications or media or something that felt more in tune with my passions and interests (there's a post in me about the issues of being a Black woman and an empath in healthcare/social work management, but that's for another day). I had no luck landing that kind of dream job, but did get offered a similar management position at another agency in the same healthcare/social work field. Something told me not to settle for the job I knew I could do and keep waiting for the one I wanted to do, but I wanted a change by any means necessary, so I took it. A month in, I realized this may not be the job for me. 2.5 months in, I started job hunting again. This time I told myself I wouldn't settle - if I wanted my career to go in a new direction I had to steer the ship - so I only applied for the jobs that I truly wanted to do.
Now, I have none of the degrees or formal education required for the jobs I applied for, but went for them off da strenf of the career I've created for myself using this blog as my launching pad. I'm not at the point of being ready to go full-time freelance or full-time entrepreneur, but I know I have skills and gifts and passions that need to be utilized. So I jazzed up my resumes and cover letters with help from friends, crossed my fingers, toes, and hair strands with each application, and waited for the calls to roll in.
For a while, I heard nothing but crickets. Then, an email to schedule an interview appeared. Next, a call for a phone interview, and after that, a call for an in-person chat. Slowly but surely, people were calling me - ME! - to come in for interviews for jobs I had really only dreamed of having. Even better than the interview calls were the offers that came. Long story short: I took one of those offers. I negotiated for what I felt I was worth, and got it. I handed in my resignation just before I left for Yale (OMG I HAVE TO TELL Y'ALL ABOUT YALE), and overheard two executives discussing my impending departure, saying (and I quote): "I guess she's just not the shining star we thought she was. It seems like she can't cut it if she's leaving." That further solidified that I made the right decision to go.
Let's just say that the exit interview I requested with those two executives was a defining moment in my career journey.
But back to the new gig!
It's just been a week and a bit in, but I'm honestly so proud of myself that I was able to secure a great job with an incredible organization solely off of the work I've done in my side hustle. Sometimes your side hustle stays protected as your side hustle, and other times it leads you in brand new directions. My blogging, writing, social media work, media experience and more are what landed me this job, and those are the things I almost canceled out of my life when someone decided they wanted to undermine my career by using it all against me. But guess what, bih? I have a new career now, and I firmly believe that my future is the brightest it's been in a LONG time. I'm excited to see where this new journey takes me, and I feel a renewed shot of electric creativity flowing through my veins. I'm ready to grow and learn and be better at everything I love to do, so that's the mission.
Make room for your gifts, and your gifts will create space for you. A sweet spot, if you will.

The average salary in Oslo, Norway is currently around 31000 NOK per month after taxes as of 2021. That is around 3600 USD per month, and one of the highest average salaries for European capitals.
Well, good salary is a big word! For a single family generally 30–45,000 NOK per month (pretax) is considered as good salary. Remember the taxation in Norway is way too high, and the country is expensive too. 500.000 a year is good.
Let's look at the 2020 statistics for gross monthly earnings – earnings before tax deductions. According to Statistics Norway (SSB), the average monthly earnings in Norway are 48.750 kroner (NOK). Men earn on average a little more than women. Average earnings for men are 51.630 kroner and for women 45.190 kroner.
The cost of living in Oslo is equally high. It is in fact, one of the most expensive cities to live in Europe. That is especially the case when it comes to real estate prices. The city's estates both to rent and purchase are comparable to other European expensive cities such as Zurich and Copenhagen.

No law in Denmark mandates minimum wage. The minimum wage is decided through collective bargaining agreements in each sector. The most common minimum wage across all sectors is 110 DKK per hour.
Most countries in Europe have some sort of minimum wage in place, after the first laws on minimum legal pay were implemented in New Zealand and Australia in the 1980s. In Sweden however, there is no official minimum wage.
In general, Norway has particularly good income for people who have jobs with low to medium salaries; those are higher here than just about anywhere else. The same thing isn't true to the same degree for people with a high income, and those are also the ones who pay the most taxes.
The gross average annual salary in Norway is 636,690 NOK (69,150 USD).

Un evento ligado a la extinción (ELE) es un suceso puntual e inesperado que provoca la desaparición de una o más especies, ya sea por su acción directa o por los efectos causados. En ocasiones se traduce incorrectamente por evento a nivel de extinción, del inglés «Extinction-Level Event».

Un evento ligado a la extinción suele asociarse a extinciones masivas, debido a la influencia del cine y la literatura fantástica, pero no necesariamente acarrea consecuencias tan dramáticas para la Vida.

Tipos de eventos

Se han apuntado mucho eventos a lo largo de los años para explicar las extinciones de una o varias especies. Entre los más aceptados se pueden enumerar:

 Mutaciones: el surgimiento de un nuevo patógeno por mutación puede provocar epidemias o pandemias especialmente virulentas, hasta el punto de terminar con determinados endemismos.
 Llegada de nuevas especies: se han documentado numerosos casos de extinción ligados a la llegada de una nueva especie que compite con mejores armas contra otra ya existente. Sería el caso del dodo, la paloma migratoria americana, el lobo de Tasmania y tantos otros que no pudieron adaptarse a la llegada de los colonos europeos y la nueva fauna que llevaron.
 Cambios en el nivel del mar: debido al movimiento de las placas tectónicas, se sabe que numerosas tierras ahora bajo el agua, estuvieron emergidas anteriormente. Al inundarse o secarse el medio habitado por varias especies quedó destruido y con él sus fuentes de alimento.
 Explosión de supernovas: una supernova distantes algunas decenas de años luz puede provocar un rayo gamma imposible de detener por la atmósfera de la Tierra, matando a multitud de organismos marinos y terrestres. Esta matanza produciría una bajada en el nivel de oxígeno disuelto en el agua y mezclado en el aire, una destrucción de las fuentes de alimentos en el inicio de la cadena trófica y la extinción directa de varias especies enteras a causa de la radiación.
 Cambios climáticos como el calentamiento global o una glaciación: la mejora o el empeoramiento de las condiciones climáticas puede provocar la llegada de nuevos competidores o la destrucción del hábitat existente hasta un nivel al que muchas especies no pueden adaptarse. Aunque se ha sospechado siempre de la intervención humana, muchas especies del Pleistoceno debieron desaparecer con el calentamiento global que vivió el Planeta tras la glaciación de Würm.
 Caída de asteroides, meteoritos y cometas: dependiendo de su tamaño un impacto con estos cuerpos puede provocar desde la muerte de un endemismo, al ser destruido su ecosistema por el impacto, hasta una extinción masiva en los casos más grandes. Es uno de los eventos ligados a la extinción más espectaculares visualmente, un ejemplo es la extinción masiva del Cretácico-Paleógeno, la que extermino a los dinosaurios.
 Volcanes: erupciones volcánicas como la del Krakatoa o incluso mayores pueden volar por los aires una isla entera, con todas sus especies de fauna y flora, o incluso provocar las mayores extinciones del Planeta, como se supone que produjo una pluma mantélica en el periodo Pérmico y al fragmentarse Pangea en el Triásico-Jurásico.

E.L.E. en la ficción

Los eventos ligados a la extinción han sido tratados infinidad de veces en la literatura, el cine e incluso el teatro. Ya en la obra de Karel Čapek, R.U.R. (Robots Universales Rossum), la especie humana es exterminada por los brutos mecánicos de su creación; siendo este evento, la invención de máquinas pensantes, el que provoca la extinción de sus creadores.

Tras las investigaciones de Álvarez y colaboradores, han aparecido varias películas que utilizan el impacto de un meteorito contra la Tierra como fondo de la trama. En concreto la cinta Deep Impact coloca el término E.L.E. como protagonista de los primeros minutos del metraje, al confundirlo Jenny Lerner, personaje interpretado por Téa Leoni, con un nombre de mujer y atribuir las acciones del gobierno al encubrimiento de un escándalo sexual, cuando realmente se trataba de los preparativos para capear el daño que iba a producir el asteroide contra la superficie terrestre y evitar así una extinción de todas las formas de vida en el planeta.

The Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2008-2009 Show was partly inspired by Queen Victoria.
Other Queen Victoria-influenced collections : Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Autumn/Winter 2006-2007 (this show, which paid homage to British icons, featured a dress, decorated with a black-and-white portrait of Queen Victoria and yellow Smileys), Libertine Spring/Summer 2006 (this show highlighted several « Queen Victoria » patterns).
France's splendor of royalty influenced the Georges Hobeika Couture Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 Show.
Other France-inspired collections : Anna Sui Spring/Summer 2013 (this show was based on the style of the Second Empire in France, mixed with punk), Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Resort 2013 (Karl Lagerfeld said that the theme of this collection was « Versailles in a Socialist France »), Jacquemus Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 (this show was an homage to France).
Diana, Princess of Wales was one of the British icons who were celebrated in the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Autumn/Winter 2006-2007 Show.
Other Diana, Princess of Wales-inspired items : Dior (in 1995, Lady Diana fell in love with a bag that Gianfranco Ferré had designed for Dior, which was later renamed « Lady Dior », in her honor), Tod's (in March 2013, Tod's released the « Timeless Icon » book, to pay homage to Diana, Princess of Wales, which highlighted pictures of Diana with her beloved Tod's tote).
To read about Union Jack-inspired collections, search for the « Union Jack » post that I published on March 18, 2013.


Cupcakes in a Jar are the cutest way to give cupcakes, especially if you are mailing them. You can make any kind of cupcake, filling, or frosting you want in small pint sized mason jars.
I like to use the small 4 oz Ball jars for a single serving. If you want to use the larger 8 oz jars, you will need one and a half cupcakes and 3 layers of frosting or filling.
You start with baking the cupcake as you would normally in whatever type of cupcake liners you prefer. I used foil ones here. Make sure your cupcakes don't over flow the liner and make an outside lip to the top. This won't fit in your jar (4 oz or 8 oz).
Then slice the cupcake in half horizontally. Place the bottom part of the cupcake in the jar. Then pipe frosting or filling to make a 1/4 inch layer. I used a flavored whipped cream filling in these.
Then, place the cupcake top in the jar and top with frosting. I used a buttercream frosting and I sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles.

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's test captain Dimuth Karunaratne has been appointed the skipper for the one-day squad for the upcoming World Cup, the country's cricket board announced on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old will lead the team while playing his first one-day game since 2015.
Karunaratne's leadership was praised after Sri Lanka won a two-match series against South Africa in February to become the first Asian team to win a test series in the African nation.
Sri Lanka Cricket said Karunaratne's appointment was ratified by the Minister of Sports Harin Fernando.
Karunaratne has not played a one day international since the 2015 World Cup, but was tipped to take over from fast bowler Lasith Malinga who led the side in a 5-0 thrashing in the ODI series against South Africa following the test triumph.
He also answered his critics with a string a impressive performances with the bat during the recent domestic one-day tournament, scoring 165 runs in four matches at an average of 55.
The left-handed opening batsman has played 60 tests and 17 one-day games for Sri Lanka.


There are 2 classes called A and B, with the methods - methodA() and methodB(). The class definition vaguely looks like this.
Now the 2 classes's methods contain a set of statements represented by statementA and statementB. Our goal here is to make these 2 statements in 2 different class, execute in a mutually exclusive manner. That means, when any thread executes statementA, none of the threads must be allowed to execute statementB. And when any thread executes statementB, none of the threads must be allowed to execcute statementA. Meanwhile, unlimited threads can simultaneously access statementA alone or statementB alone.
methodA and methodB can be changed in any form (making them synchronized or whatever). But method signatures are not allowed to be changed.
I thought of creating a new class - say Class C, which will have statementA and statementB, enclosed within 2 separates methods. These 2 methods will be static and synchronized.
Now the call from methodA of Class A will be delegated to C.methodASync() and call from methodB of class B will be delegated to C.methodBSync().
Since the methods in this class are static synchronized, any thread which executes any method of this class, first will try to acquire lock on this class and execute the methods. Now, when say thread1 executes methodASync none of the threads will be allowed to execute methodBSync or viceversa.
But there's one disadvantage. My problem says statementA; and statementB; should be executed in mutual exclusive manner, but it can allow multiple threads executing statementA at the same time. Since I am using Class level synchronization, even multiple calls to execute statementA/statementB happens synchronously.

In certain cases, reconstructive plastic surgery may be covered through the patient's clinical insurance coverage. Receiving a cosmetic plastic surgery even so might be a process which you need to finance oneself working with a mortgage.

From the Bench to the Skies, These Three Ducks Will Soar in 2015
Max Thornberry September 4, 2015 FishWrap, FishWrap Archive
Oregon's incredible depth has been one of the biggest storylines of the summer. The unbelievably deep position of wide receiver caused Alex Ofodile to redshirt when many assumed he would be make an impact straight away after enrolling back in January. The loss of RB Thomas Tyner for the entire 2015/2016 puts a small wrench in this offense, but it won't be its undoing. Royce Freeman, who is drawing early comparisons to Marshawn Lynch, is more than prepared to improve on an outstanding freshman year and work to bring the Ducks their second Heisman winner in two years.
To this point, we've talked about depth only in hypothetical situations. The season gets underway tomorrow, and the time for "what if" scenarios is over. Now, the time has come to look at how that depth will translate into production in 2015.
Johnny Mundt:
Gary Breedlove
Mundt is ready for any opportunity that comes his way in 2015.
As of now, it looks as though star TE Pharaoh Brown will not take the field in 2015, leaving a sizeable hole in an otherwise prolific offense. Evan Baylis is slated to start Saturday with Mundt playing behind him. Baylis performed well in place of Brown last year, but his spot is far from secure with Mundt ready to pounce on any opportunity that comes his way.
There were rumblings about Mundt's breakout potential heading into last season but Brown's dominance kept him off the field. He enjoyed a decent amount of success as a freshman, catching 3 TDs and 16 passes for 281 yards — making him the team's sixth-best receiver.
Baylis may have secured the job to start, but don't take your eyes off Mundt, the promising junior, as he looks to repeat the success of his freshman season. Mundt's 5 catches for 121 yards and 2 TDs against Tennessee in 2013 further proves that he has the ability to compete at the highest level.
Taj Griffin:
To give you an idea of how good Griffin could be, take note that he is one of seven running backs on Oregon's roster and is the only true freshman of the bunch. The decision not to have him redshirt is as much a product of his talent as a question of the players in front of him on the depth chart. What's more, Griffin tore his ACL early on in his senior year in high school, and is considered one of the biggest threats on the Ducks just one year later.
Steve Summers reported that offensive coordinator Scott Frost referred to Griffin as a "home run threat." Jeff Lockie told The Register-Guard that Griffin is, "super-freaky talented" and also praised his speed, an excellent complement to the beating that Freeman will be giving opposing defenses.
Kevin Cline
He has obstacles in front of him but Taj Griffin is set to be another impact freshman RB for the Ducks.
Questions surrounding the RBs in front of him help his case even more. Tony Brooks-James has a high ceiling, but failed to perform to his potential in the spring game, carrying the ball four times but racking up zero yards.
Kani Benoit poses a legitimate threat to Griffin's field time as he had as many chances as Griffin in the spring game (eight) and carried for nearly twice as many yards, but Griffin won't be riding the bench as a true freshman. Don't sleep on the fastest player on the fastest offense in the country.
Ty Griffin:
From Video
Griffin elected to switch to the defense to give himself a chance to get on the field.
If the Ducks lack depth at any position, it's at defensive back. Arrion Springs and Ugo Amadi promise to provide some show-stopping defense, but with a full slate of high-powered offenses, they cannot shoulder the entire load in the secondary.
Griffin, a redshirt sophomore who transferred to Oregon from Georgia Tech, can provide that crucial replacement. In the same vein as his younger brother, Griffin's speed and athletic ability have caught the eyes of the coaches.
We shouldn't expect Griffin to start producing straight away, but his speed and size (6′ 0″, 200 lbs.) are a lethal combination that will give him ample opportunity to earn his wings. His ability to handle the responsibility of the quarterback role should encourage fans that he will grasp the defensive concepts quickly and help to fill one of the few holes in Oregon's organizational depth.

St Johns, Antigua, January 11th, 2023
We vote each Election Day, not because we have the right to but because we are called upon to make the right choice.
The choice we make at the polls has built-in consequences that can elevate us, our families and our communities or erode our chances at achieving peace, progress and prosperity. As such, the choice of the voter is at the heart of the matter in this election now before us.
In St. Peter, the choice will not be made just between the independent four-term champion of the people, Hon. Asot Michael and the candidates of the vying political parties.
The St. Peter voter is, first and foremost, called upon to place his or her X beside the candidate who has put his heart into the service of the people for the last 18 years and more. His dedication to cause and delivery of service are at the heart of the matter in this election and only Asot Michael proves that he has the heart for service.
Election Day is the time we freely choose who our representatives. Our representatives are not first chosen for us in secreted dark rooms by party operatives and then thrown at the people on polling day.
Each voter must be primarily part of the process of saying who their candidates and representatives will be.
That is why, the progressive people of St. Peter are being called upon to reject the hand-picked candidates of all the political parties. At the heart of the matter in this election is having the right to select a leader from among ready and respectable options. Asot Michael is ready for service and Asot is truly respected.
The candidates we choose in this election should clearly have a passion for service. Their plans to represent the people over the next five years should not be lost within the smoke and mirrors of their party.
Their intentions should be independently clear. Asot has clearly revealed his passion for St. Peter in a manifesto that proves that he was Born to Love, Raised to Care, and Committed to Serve. In Asot, St. Peter finds a candidate and representative who continues to give his best because he gives from the heart.
So, on Election Day 2023, Asot Michael, as the independent candidate in St. Peter, will be represented by the symbol of the HEART.
This is no mere coincidence. We know that Asot has the heart for service. Asot proves that he is ready and respectable. Asot gives from the heart. At the heart of it all, Asot loves the people of St. Peter and the people of St. Peter love Asot.

Posted byAndrew Bronner January 23, 2023 January 23, 2023 Posted inArtist Interview
Rooted in a theme of empowerment and rediscovering self-worth post breakup, Madelyn Rose's debut single, Taillights Fade, tells the story of turning heartbreak and on it's head and moving forward, rapidly.
Recently, we had the chance to chat with Rose about her new single, musical journey, and more!!
Worlds of Country: When did you know that music was something you wanted to pursue?
Madelyn: Since day one, I have always been obsessed with country music for as long as I can remember. When I was a toddler, I would watch Jason Aldean music videos on my parent's computer for hours. That interest in music led me to start playing piano when I was four, and then into singing a couple years later.
Worlds of Country" Once you knew, what was your first big step towards making this dream a reality?
Madelyn: I learned to write, record, produce, and mix/master my own songs, which grew into releasing my own album at fourteen. Soon after this album was released, I gained the attention of my now manager, Gold Mountain Entertainment.
Worlds of Country: How would you describe your musical style and who would you say most influenced your style?
Madelyn: Country music is definitely my genre. I have so many inspirations in my life, but my biggest is Carrie Underwood. I have always respected her tremendously, from her powerful vocals to the stories she tells through her songs. I love how she hasn't changed her personality from the rise of a small town girl to a star.
Worlds of Country: What inspired your debut single, Taillights Fade?
Madelyn: I was on zoom with my producer Justin Klump and co-writer, Lauryn Tauber, and we didn't really have an inspiration to start with. We took a few minutes to brainstorm, and Lauryn found a post on Instagram about watching taillights fading and the feeling it gives you. I had recently been writing about a break-up, so we decided to combine the two ideas. The game changer was how we turned the taillights fading idea into a positive thing for the singer and listener.
Worlds of Country: What about this song stuck out to you and made it the right one to release as your debut label release?
Madelyn: I've had so many talented artists working on this song with me. I love how it offers confidence for anyone going through a breakup and I wanted to share that with others. Overall, we couldn't be happier with how the song turned out!
Worlds of Country: What's next for you?
Madelyn: I am working on the next steps for the future releases. I am hopeful to be working on a bigger project by summer of 2023!

Wind resource assessment at California Polytechnic State University shows there is potential for wind power generation on Cal Poly land. A computational fluid dynamics model based on wind data collected from a campus maintained meteorological tower on Escuela Ranch approximately 5 miles northwest of campus suggests there are areas of Cal Poly land with an IEC Class III wind resource at a height of 80 meters above ground. In addition during the daytime when the campus uses the most energy there are large portions of land with annual average daytime wind speeds above 6.9m/s. These areas have been identified by analyzing the wind speed and directional data collected at the meteorological tower and using it to create the boundary conditions and turbulence parameters for the computer model. The model boundary conditions and turbulence parameters have been verified through comparison between data collected at Askervein hill in Scotland during the 1980's and the results of a simulation of Askervein hill using the same model. Before constructing a wind farm for power generation, additional meteorological towers should be constructed in Poly Canyon to further confirm the wind resource prediction.

I say this because I have observed that confidence and body width-to-height ratio are somewhat proportional. It was true to me, too - I became a more confident person at about the same time when my BMI was starting to knock at the doors of 25, i.e. the overweight door to obesity.
It is so true as well in public transportation systems. I've seen large width-to-height guys occupying a wider portion of the seats in buses and so on, and yet they still have to stretch their thighs outward so they occupy even more space. Is it because they don't want people near them because they know they smell? Or have they just overtaken their self-confidence to the point of rudeness? What's up with that!
But then, is society to blame as well? Can you imagine a large guy who's as shy and as soft-hearted as a smaller, thinner man? Weird, isn't it? Are these XXXL guys just living up to the hype? Or did the David and Goliath story created a reverse psychology effect on us?
Last point. East Asians and Southeast Asians are generally shorter and thinner. Caucasians are generally not.
"I like this photo. I look thin in this photo. I'll make it my profile pic."
"I totally agree with you, you LOOK thin there."
Enough said. If you're overweight, that is already a symptom of a health concern somewhere down the line. It's now time for a cool change.
...but you think you do. You just don't get it and you never will.
"What's this about?," you might ask.
[quote me] I'm not religious, I'm normal.
Society has sadly come to the point that being God-fearing and God-loving comes with labels such as "religious," "fanatic," "abnormal," "holy," and other things with seemingly negative connotations in society at large. I am not as "religious" as some of those people you call "religious," but to me they are the normal people, they recognized the right path and they are on it, or at least trying their best to stay on it. I can't throw a stone at them, even if they may have strayed once or twice or more.
On the other hand, people who label these good people as "religious" are those who are too proud and/or afraid to admit their wrongs and be humble enough to honestly say "I'm sorry" to God and to whoever else. Why do they label? or judge? I think they do that to justify their wrongdoings, to make themselves feel comfortable and think that they're doing just fine. To spread the disease that plagues many societies: "being wrong is hot. being right is not." These people who use the word "religious" in a wrong way to label good people are those who also disregard some successful people's religiosity. Like one president is actually "religious" but because he's successful, they attribute their success to other things, not to God.
Sure, not all seemingly "religious" people are actually religious. And sure, it is very tempting to point our fingers at them. But when we do that--pointing fingers, labelling, judging, a.k.a. being God--I hope we know what we're doing.
Well, people, you're not hot. You're not cool. You're not normal. But yeah, you think you're happy and doing just fine because you're not "religious." Guess again.

BreakfastClub founder, Emily Elyse Miller shares her favorite spots ahead of her new cookbook
Emma Orlow
Posted: Friday May 3 2019, 2:38 PM
You may not yet know Emily Elyse Miller's name, but you will soon. This month, Miller releases her new, BREAKFAST: The Cookbook (out May 29th with Phaidon) with over 380+ recipes, taking a global look at morning eating rituals from 80 countries around the world. She's not a chef, but she's quietly been an authority on "all things sunrise" in the New York City for some time. Miller is a food writer also running BreakfastClub, pop-ups and tours focused on the first meal of the day. Collaborating with brands like Noosa Yogurt, S'well, The LINE Hotel and Impossible Foods, her breakfast experiences have hit the road, hosting events at Enrique Olvera's (owner of Atla, the #1 on our best NYC restaurants list) Mexico City megahit, Pujol, Sam Smith's Tusk in Portland, as well as all over New York City. She's even be creating her own Republic of Booza limited-edition ice cream with a Malaysian breakfast pulled tea and kaya toast flavor, which you can try later this month.

What fascinates you about breakfast culture in New York? Breakfast in New York is as diverse as the people, and all the people end up at their local bodega. Nobody is above a $3 bacon, egg and cheese on a kaiser roll with a coffee in a Greek-style paper cup. It's the classic New York breakfast, dare I say, even more so than a bagel. People show their true personality in the morning, and there's no better time to observe New York culture than in the early hours.
You live on the Upper East Side, right? Do you have any favorite breakfast spots in your neighborhood? After living in Brooklyn for over 7 years, the Upper East Side was a tough, but welcomed transition. I've found myself reconnecting with old-school New York diners, having a go-to order at my local bagel shop and appetizing stores, and being in close proximity to all kinds of art. On a nice day I'll grab a pastry from Flora Bar, have an espresso at the counter at Saint Ambroeus, and go for a walk in Central Park. Breakfast is the best way to feel affordably elegant on the Upper East Side.

When it came to putting together your cookbook, were there any markets or restaurants you hit up for inspiration? I can't imagine a better place to test a cookbook on global breakfast than New York. Every culture is represented in some way; from a small Senegalese coffee shop in Harlem (recommended by my taxi driver) to comprehensive markets like Kalustyan's stocking everything from curry leaves to canned abalone. The only ingredients I found tough to find were fresh banana leaves to make cochinita pibil and fresh pandan leaves to make kaya.
What other breakfast spots are you into? There are so many! I have one or two go-to spots in each neighborhood. Some favorites are: Okonomi, Frankel's, Factory Tamal, West~Bourne, Buvette, Flora bar (any pastry made by Natasha Pickowicz), Cafe Sabarsky, Abraço, and so many more.
In the intro for your book, you mention that your grandfather used to own an appetizing spot in the Bronx! Yes, my Grandpa Shelly used to own a Jewish appetizing store in the Bronx called Miller's Appetizing. He later moved to Long Island and opened an ice cream shop called Milky Way. Based on my family's background I think it's officially acceptable to eat ice cream for breakfast.
What inspired you to turn your obsession with writing about breakfast into your BreakfastClub tours around the city? Now more than ever, people are expanding their knowledge of food and excited to learn about and taste dishes from all over the world. After finishing the book I wanted to bring the global breakfast I had documented into the real world. The tours were created as an extension of that research and the passion to support the diverse landscape of culture present in NYC.
I love the packaging you create for the events. This is my event series that brings creative people together to share a meal prepared by a chef who doesn't normally serve breakfast. I'm obsessed with cartoons and take away packaging so partnering with Amit Greenberg to create our own world where breakfast characters interact with human-like characters was a dream. Enjoying a fast-food style meal in a tasting menu only restaurant; it helps get people into a creative mindset and creates the perfect high/low contrast.
The tours focus on spots on the Lower East Side. Why'd you pick that neighborhood to start? The Lower East Side, back to the 1940's was considered one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Manhattan. If you're paying attention you can walk the globe in just a few blocks. I make it a point to bring guests to a mix of modern and old-school establishments that tell the story of the neighborhood. There's a Dominican breakfast plate at El Castillo de Jagua, Shanghainese wonton soup at Wu's Wonton King, Malaysian kaya toast with jam from Kopitiam and more. There are 5 stops that I switch up every so often.
The Lower East Side has changed so much in the last five years. Do you see the tours as a way to archive that neighborhood before there are further erasures in the restaurants? Absolutely! It took months to grow relationships with the restaurants but it was important for me to show the full scope of culture present in the LES and not just the popular spots accustomed to tourism. Guests have sent me photos of them returning to some of the restaurants, which truly makes this all worth it.
Would you say the tours are just for tourists? Definitely not. It's been an incredible mix of food and design industry people, their families, and food-loving travelers discovering the tours through my Instagram or via some of the wonderful media coverage the tours have received. Everyone becomes friends at the end, and many people actually keep in touch.

Film Review: The 'Friday the 13th' Film Series, Part I – The Original Trilogy (1980-1982)
March 15, 2017 by Talking Pulp	in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1980, 1980s, 1981, 1982, film, Friday the 13th, horror, Kevin Bacon, mystery, review, Sean S. Cunningham, slasher, Stan Winston, Steve Miner, Stuart Charno, thriller
Friday the 13th was a cultural phenomenon when I was growing up. While I have always been a bigger fan of Freddy Krueger, I still loved these films, which followed Jason Voorhees, as he murdered sexually active teens that got too close to Crystal Lake.
This is one of the most successful film franchises in cinema history, despite being panned by critics. There have been a total of twelve films between sequels and a remake, as well as an entry that saw Jason fight Freddy of A Nightmare On Elm Street fame. There was even a television show that didn't directly tie into the movies but was inspired by their tone and spirit.
It is rumored that there is a new films and a television show currently in development. Although things seem to be at the very early stages.
In this review, I am going to cover the first three films. The second review will cover what I call The Tommy Jarvis Trilogy as Parts IV, V and VI focus on the character of Tommy Jarvis and his three film battle with the masked killer. Part three will cover Parts VII, VIII, Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X – the films featuring Kane Hodder as Jason. I will review Freddy vs. Jason and the 2009 remake at a later date.
Friday the 13th (1980):
Release Date: May 9th, 1980
Directed by: Sean S. Cunningham
Written by: Victor Miller
Music by: Harry Manfredini
Cast: Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Laurie Bartram, Mark Nelson, Jeannine Taylor, Robbi Morgan, Kevin Bacon
The first film was created to cash-in on the success of its slasher predecessor Halloween. It was also the first film of its type to be distributed by a major studio – Paramount Pictures. The studio heads were geniuses taking a risk like that because it turned into a massive franchise. Well, they sold the rights to New Line Cinema years later but someone definitely got a huge bonus.
The first film sets the tone for all the others. It even features a young Kevin Bacon.
What makes the first film so unique, is that people have come to associate these films with Jason as the killer. However, in the original film, Jason was not the killer. I thought this was pretty much common knowledge until my girlfriend watched it with me and was shocked at the reveal. While she had seen many of these films, the first movie was not one of them and it was cool to see someone effected by the reveal for the first time.
This seems to be considered the best film, despite Jason only being in it for a few seconds. It's a good slasher movie but I don't feel that it is the best, as the films evolve and develop over time.
It still plays well today, and it is still effective despite aspects of it coming off as cheesy. The practical effects still look better than modern CGI blood splatter and gore but I constantly beat a dead horse with that point in my reviews of older horror movies.
The atmosphere of this film is great. It has a similar environmental vibe to Wes Craven's Last House On the Left but it is lighter in tone, with comedic elements being sprinkled in. It certainly doesn't make you as uncomfortable as Last House On the Left. Oddly enough, Sean S. Cunningham, who directed and produced this film, worked with Craven on Last House. He wanted to distance himself from that film and wanted to create something a bit more approachable and fun. He succeeded.
Friday the 13th, Part II (1981):
Release Date: April 30th, 1981
Directed by: Steve Miner, Sean S. Cunningham (additional scenes)
Written by: Ron Kurz, Phil Scuderi
Based on: characters by Victor Miller
Cast: Amy Steel, John Furey, Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer, Stuart Charno
The second film picks up with Jason looking for revenge. Revenge for what? Well, watch the first film, if you don't know.
Jason is finally the killer and introduced as a menacing hulk for the first time. Although he doesn't have the hockey mask yet and walks around with a potato sack over his head. While that is bizarre, there is still something scary about it and about his one eye – peering through a small tear in the sack.
Another group of teens show up at Crystal Lake and the body count starts to rise.
This isn't as strong of a film as a few of the later installments but it does set the course for the franchise. It becomes the template to follow, even more so than the first part. There is more violence, more boobies and the most important element: Jason!
The only real negative about this chapter, is that they kill off Crazy Ralph. That dude should have been in every Friday the 13th movie.
Friday the 13th, Part III (1982):
Release Date: August 13th, 1982
Directed by: Steve Miner
Written by: Martin Kitrosser, Carol Watson, Petru Popescu
Based on: characters by Victor Miller, Ron Kurz
Music by: Harry Manfredini, Michael Zager
Cast: Dana Kimmell, Paul Kratka, Richard Brooker
This was a 3D film. It is funny to watch because there are all these bizarre shots done that were made specifically for the 3D format. So when you watch them now, they look bizarre and out of place. But even if you didn't know this was a 3D film, it is made pretty obvious with some of the gags and angles.
The most important thing about this movie, is that Jason finally gets his hockey mask! And even though it takes three films to get to completely familiar territory with this franchise, I do love the slow build over three movies. While it wasn't necessarily intentional at the time, it now plays out really well. It also keeps the films from becoming too similar, up to this point.
Another group of teens show up because Jason likes killing a specific type of people and a senior citizens convention wouldn't be as exciting.
Teens die, other people die, Jason fucks shit up and then we get our final battle of the heroine versus the monster. Not to give too much away but the final fight sees Jason take an axe to the head, which is how he got that iconic mark at the top of his mask.
This film is more comedic than its predecessors, especially in regards to the marijuana jokes and hippie characters that were obviously put in the film to appeal to the Cheech & Chong crowd at the time.

High resolution 3D imaging, with shorter acquisition times.
ZOOMit can dramatically reduce scan time.In this comparison between conventional and zoomed imaging, scan time is reduced by 45% while maintaining the same high resolution.
detection of smallest lesions of high susceptibility (e.g.skull base, spine, abdomen, pelvis), or when quantification of diffusion restriction is required.
Significantly increased image quality in the area of interest. In this example of an MR diffusion in the prostate, the zoomed images have much less distortion and better delineation of tumor borders.
It is a well-known phenomenon in MR imaging that if the field-of-view (FOV) is smaller than the object, aliasing (foldover artifacts) will occur. This is not an issue in the readout direction, since it can be overcome by frequency oversampling. But oversampling in the phase-encoding direction comes at a cost: longer scan times. This makes the use of phase oversampling unfavorable or impossible in many cases.
With ZOOMit, similar to an optical zoom of a camera, only a reduced FOV in phase-encoding direction ('stripe') is excited (see figure below). Consequently, there will be no signal from the non-excited regions and only the small stripe needs to be encoded.
The result: Acquisition time can be reduced while maintaining spatial resolution, or the spatial resolution can be increased - or a combination thereof.
ZOOMit is based on TimTX TrueShape, Siemens' architecture for parallel transmit (pTX) technology. This technology uses two indepedent transmit channels for fully dynamic RF excitation. Only TimTX TrueShape and ZOOMit together provide selective excitation within a user specified FoV. TimTX TrueShape is designed to break ground for a broad range of new MRI applications. ZOOMit is the first TrueShape application.

Superstorm Sandy left federal, state and county agencies scrambling to rebuild the City of Long Beach and other hard-hit areas, but the human need is dire and immediate. Too many people were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Johanna Sofield and her husband Greg are well-known in the Long Beach community. Greg's a third-generation resident and Johanna, originally from Hewlett, has lived in Long Beach since she was 19 years old.
Johanna describes herself as a "beach girl," and she is, with long blond hair, ocean blue eyes and a natural way about her. When we met recently at the Laurel Luncheonette on West Park Avenue, it was packed with locals and construction workers. As Johanna made her way through the crowd, she was greeted by almost everyone there. "I love this community," she says.
More than a decade ago the Sofields began hosting a Christmas party in their home and invited friends, family and the community asking them to bring toys and they would distribute them to needy children in the Long Beach school district.
In just a few years, the event outgrew the Sofield's living room and was moved to the Bridgeview Yacht Club, where it evolved into an annual fundraiser that is attended by hundreds.
Since 2003, when the Sofields founded the non-profit organization known as The Long Beach Christmas Angel, Inc., they've raised more than $450,000 to help local working families facing a hardship or a financial crisis.
Christmas Angel has provided assistance for rent, tuition, clothing, medical supplies such as eyeglasses and even funerals. For many of the recipients, the financial gift from Christmas Angel can be life changing.
Helping people get an education has always been one of their top goals. Last year Christmas Angel awarded $6,000 in scholarships to local students.
"Kids want to go to college and we want them to stay in school," she says.
Johanna has seen firsthand how a seemingly small gift can make a tremendous difference in someone's life. But she keeps the details to herself. Christmas Angel has always maintained a strict policy about protecting the identities of their recipients.
Recently, Christmas Angel gave a $500 donation to a local woman to pay for private driving lessons which allowed her to get a better paying job with the City of Long Beach.
Another resident won a housing lottery, but because of out-of-pocket payments for his cancer treatments he used up his savings and didn't have the required down payment.
All of these donations were given without fanfare. Johanna preferred to keep a low profile.
"We had been successfully flying under the radar," she says.
Rebuilding the lives of those devastated by the superstorm is her top priority now.
She considers herself lucky that no one in her family was injured, but they were scattered in different places after the storm.
When her four children returned to Long Beach, they brought back $18,000 in donated goods and $8,000 in cash for the community that was raised in Virginia.
How much Long Beach lost is more evident every day. Housing will be an on-going struggle for the foreseeable future.
Sandy put everybody on a level playing field.
"You have the well-off living side by side with people who struggle," she says.
"There is little affordable housing in Long Beach," Johanna says. For those who can't afford the cost of moving to another apartment, Christmas Angel assists by paying the security deposit and the first month's rent, if needed.
Johanna works closely with social workers in the school district who help identify those who can use assistance.
Recently Johanna met with an elementary school psychologist who had applications for Christmas Angel to fulfill. Most requests are paid by check through the charity. The psychologist gave Johanna a $434 LIPA bill that a struggling single mother had to pay before the utility would turn her electricity back on. Johanna put the LIPA bill on the top of her pile and mailed the check later that day.
Christmas Angel gave a $1,000 Visa gift card to a school staff member who lost everything in the storm. A resident who was left with just an ill-fitting housecoat received a $500 gift card for new clothing. Thanks to Christmas Angel's generosity, a Sleepy's truck just delivered 10 new mattresses to local residents, seven of the new beds were for children.
Johanna didn't mention her own circumstances until asked.
Meanwhile Johanna is helping those who have fallen to get back up on their feet and rebuild their dream of living in the City by the Sea.

Q: Cancel a task execution in a thread and remove a task from a queue A Python application I'm developing watches for a folder and uploads certain new or changed files to a server. As a task queue I'm using Queue module and a pool of worker threads.
Sometimes during an upload a file changes and the upload needs to be canceled and started all over.
I know how to stop thread execution with threading.Event, but how do I remove or move around a task in Queue?

A: The easiest way to do it would be to mark the instance you've loaded into the Queue as cancelled:
class Task(object):
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.cancelled = False
        self.data = data

    def cancel(self):
        self.cancelled = True

q = Queue.Queue()
t = Task("some data to put in the queue")
q.put(t)

# Later
t.cancel()

Then in your consuming thread:
task = q.get()
if task.cancelled:
  # Skip it
else:
  # handle it.

It is also possible to directly interact with the deque that the Queue uses internally, provided you acquire the internal mutex used to synchronized access to the Queue:
>>> import Queue
>>> q = Queue.Queue()
>>> q.put("a")
>>> q.put("b")
>>> q.put("c")
>>> q.put("d")
>>> q.queue[2]
'c'
>>> q.queue[3]
'd'
>>> with q.mutex:  # Always acquire the lock first in actual usage
...   q.queue[3]
...
'd'

While this should work, messing with the internals of the Queue isn't recommended, and could break across Python versions if the implementation of Queue changes. Also, keep in mind that operations other than append/appendleft and pop/popleft on deque objects do not perform as well as they do on list instances; even something as simple as __getitem__ is O(n).

If your child has a condition that requires physiotherapy attention quickly (within the week), we will advise you and offer you an appointment slot that is most suitable to your child's needs and your schedule.
Similarly, your physiotherapist of choice may not be available immediately to work with your child. In this case, you may choose to work with another physiotherapist or wait for your choice. All our physiotherapists have similar depth of paediatric physiotherapy training (but we do possess different therapy styles) and we are all fully competent to look after children from a large spectrum of special needs.
We respect your time and your punctuality. We have reserved 45 minutes solely for your child. We do not double-book our appointment slots so that we can serve you and your child with undivided attention.
Please give yourselves ample time to locate us and please do arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment time to allow your child to settle into our relaxing therapy atmosphere. To optimize each appointment, we allow only a maximum of 2 caregivers to accompany your child. Too many caregivers can be distracting and overwhelmingly challenging for children under evaluation. For safety reasons, please do not bring another child into the therapy session. Your physiotherapist will ask you to fill in a short form. Some time will be spent asking you relevant questions and more time will be spent observing, holding and moving your child. By the end of the initial evaluation, your physiotherapist will advise you on what exercises and activities your child should be doing and how you can help your child. You will also be briefed about your child's follow-up physiotherapy sessions.
Please do arrive at least 5 minutes before your appointment time to allow your child to settle and familiarize herself/himself. Similarly, we ask that you keep accompanying adult caregivers to a maximum of 2. Other children are not allowed into the session. Your physiotherapist will re-evaluate your child's progress, carry out more intervention and activities and also have you practise alongside her. You are most welcomed to ask relevant questions and participate in the therapy. Your physiotherapist will most likely end the session with a home activities program.
Some children have long-term special needs and will need very regular physiotherapy interventions. For these children, we do offer a competitively priced package of 10 physiotherapy interventions. Your physiotherapist will speak to you in greater details about this should it be relevant to your child.
If you are unable to attend the physiotherapy appointment secured for your child, please cancel it within 48 hours of the appointment or as soon as you are aware of your unavailability (whichever is soonest). This will allow us to offer the slot to another child who is waiting to receive our services. When every family exercises this behaviour, our waiting list will be kept to a minimum and all children can access our services with ease. Ultimately, this will help contain costs and therapy fees escalation can be avoided.
Relevant cancellation charges will apply to those who cancel appointments indiscriminately.
A physiotherapy summary will be sent to your referring health professional on a periodic basis. Our physiotherapists (with your approval) may also call or email your child's doctors, therapists and teachers should the need arise.
Should you require a full physiotherapy report for your own record keeping or any other purposes, a physiotherapy report fee will apply.

Q: How to collapse as accordion json object deatails that have *ngFor directive in angular? I want collapse and expand like accordion my json object details.I already used for loop and *ngFor directive.

 toggleCollapse(){
    this.isCollapsed=!this.isCollapsed;
  }

{{t.title}}

{{t.description}}

{{t.content}}

            <button *ngIf="isCollapsed" type="button" (click)="toggleCollapse()" class="btn btn-danger">Read more</button>
            <button *ngIf="!isCollapsed" (click)="toggleCollapse()" class="btn btn-danger">Read less</button>

I write this code.When I click "Read More" button all the objects that I have expanding.
I should need only expand clicked object only.how can I do this.?
thank you.

A: @Ruwan, the idea (no .ts)

{{t.title}}

{{t.description}}

{{t.content}}

            <--in buttons we change directy the value of t.iscollapsed-->
            <button *ngIf="isCollapsed" type="button" (click)="t.isCollapsed=false" class="btn btn-danger">Read more</button>
            <button *ngIf="!isCollapsed" (click)="t.isCollapsed=true" class="btn btn-danger">Read less</button>

See that the only I made is replace iscollapsed by t-isCollapsed. What is "t.collapsed"?. Well is a property of your objects response.articles.
Think that response.articles is like
[
  {imgUrl:"",title:"",description:"",content:""},
  {imgUrl:"",title:"",description:"",content:""},
  ...
]

We add a new propertie "isCollapsed" to make the response.articles becomes
[
  {imgUrl:"",title:"",description:"",content:"",isCollapsed:true},
  {imgUrl:"",title:"",description:"",content:"",isCollapsed:false},
  ...
]

How we add this "extra" property?
Without modify your .ts work because, as you have an array of object you can add a property directy (in .html as we've made). But you would prefer add this property in .ts. In that case, the only thing you need is
//I supouse you have some like
   this.httpClient.get(...).subscribe(response=>{this.response=response})
//replace the line before to transform the response using "map" and spread operator
   this.httpClient.get(...).subscribe(response=>{
        this.response={
           ...response, //all properties of response
                        //but articles we add a property isCollapsed
           articles:response.articles.map(a=>{
               ...a,
               isCollapsed:true
           })
   })

With the funerals of James Foley and Michael Brown being held this week, I have been thinking about the purpose of public funerals and how we who are called upon to lead them can help both the family and the wider community through liturgy and proclamation.
Is there any benefit to broadcasting the funerals of James Foley, who was executed by a terrorist, and Michael Brown, who was shot by a police officer in an incident that sparked both peaceful protests and violent riots over the past two weeks?
I believe there is a great benefit to broadcasting them when they are done well.
In a public funeral, however, on the occasion of a death that sends ripples, if not shock waves, around the world, there are larger and more important questions than whether the theology articulated in the service meets my own personal standards as a mainline Presbyterian.
The more important issue is whether the theology articulated in the service clearly states the deepest beliefs about life and death of the community to whom the deceased belonged. There is nothing like a shocking death such as that of these two men to open the minds and hearts of people to hear a voice of hope in the middle of despair.
Even to those who do not share his Catholic faith, the proclamation has the effect of promoting theological or philosophical thought instead of reptilian reactivity.
Funerals are rites of passage for families and communities.
While many family members look at funerals as something ceremonial that we just have to buck up and get through, we who look at life through a family systems lens see them as opportunities for families and communities to self-define. Self-defining, telling ourselves and the world who we are and what we believe, also tells the world that we will not allow our loved ones to be defined by the manner of their death alone, and we who remain will not be defined by the tidal wave of media coverage.
When that is done clearly, calmly, and courageously, it can stimulate others to think rather than react. In the midst of the emotionally reactive cacophony of blame and revenge, it can give voice to a religious tradition refined by the deep thought of generations of the faithful.
To a people cut off from history and tradition, it can connect us to the intellectual and spiritual voices of generations of wisdom-development.
I have seen that remembering and celebrating the life and gifts of the deceased has a healing effect on most survivors. Even more important, however, is whether the leader(s) of the service can articulate a future that is different, that is better, because of the life this person lived.
We need to know that these horrific events cannot disappear into the footnotes of history without changing how we do things from this point forward. Will the death of James Foley lead us toward the cessation of violent conflict between the West and the radical Islamic militants?
Will the death of Michael Brown lead us to resolve this nation's divisions between black and white, rich and poor, between law enforcement services and the communities they have been called to protect?
If their deaths will lead to a better future, we will not see it this week, next month, or next year.
In the age of the quick fix, we need to hear leaders of faith articulate a future that will be worth the energy, courage, and patience it will take to bring it about.

All smiles: Idris (left) and his deputy Datuk Mary Yap (fourth from left) posing for a picture with the recipients of the MyBrain15 scholarship at the Higher Education Ministry in Putrajaya.
PUTRAJAYA: Students under the MyBrain15 programme are being offered 20,000 scholarships this year, the Higher Education Ministry said.
Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said from this figure, 15,000 scholarships were targeted for students under the MyMaster programme and 5,000 for those under the MyPhD programme.
"This is the biggest offer by the ministry so far," he said.
He was speaking to reporters before presenting MyBrain15 scholarship offer letters to recipients during a ceremony here yesterday.
At the same event, Idris also announced the MyBrain15 scholarship offers for 9,010 students who applied between August and November last year.
From this figure, 7,410 are recipients under the MyMaster programme and 1,600 recipients are under the MyPhD programme.
This is the last batch out of the 12,000 recipients to receive the scholarship for last year.
Idris said that the ministry had received an overwhelming number of applications last year, but did not have sufficient funds for everyone.
Idris said that despite the challenging economic times, the RM300mil allocation to the ministry during the revised Budget last month allowed it to finance the 9,010 students as well as the 20,000 students this year.
Asked about the MyBrain15 scholarship applicants who have yet to receive a response to their applications, with some having waited for seven months so far, a ministry official urged them to call the ministry's hotline at 03 8888 1616 or e-mail bb.mb15@mohe.gov.my.
The Star reported yesterday that the applicants have taken to the "MyBrain15 KPT" Facebook page to vent their frustration over the lack of response.
The official said that this could be due to incomplete forms or applicants not meeting the necessary criteria.
He said that those who qualified for the MyBrain15 scholarship received it yesterday.
The applications, he added, were received between August and November last year.
"No applications in December 2015 and January 2016 as these (applications) were closed by then," the official said.
The MyBrain15 programme, which is under the Higher Education Ministry, was introduced in 2008 with the aim of producing 60,000 PhD holders by 2023.
As of December last year, 44,124 students have received offers under MyBrain15, with 35,919 under the MyMaster programme and 8,205 under the MyPhD and MyPhD Industri programme.
