China's C919 jet to compete with Airbus and Boeing
Jinen Gada 30 September 2022
China held a ceremony to certify its C919 narrowbody passenger jet, representing a major milestone in the country's ambitions to challenge Airbus and Boeing in commercial aerospace.
The plane, produced by state-owned manufacturer Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), had been widely expected to be certified by the end of the month after two aircraft flew to Beijing on Sept. 13. A sign in one of the photos said "C919 aircraft type certificate issuance ceremony" in Chinese.
The C919, launched 14 years ago and designed to carry up to 168 passengers, will compete against the popular Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX families in the world's second-biggest aviation market as China looks to boost its technological self-reliance amid trade tensions.
Although the plane is assembled in China, it relies heavily on Western components, including engines and avionics, from companies including GE, Safran and Honeywell International.
Tough U.S. export licensing rules have led to delays in sourcing parts and remain a key risk to ramping up production until China replaces foreign engines and components with homegrown technology.
"The plane seems like a relic of a bygone era of increasing integration between China and the West. Thus, we have an aircraft that is only superficially Chinese but is actually powered by Western technologies and systems.
Try building an aircraft without an engine, or avionics, it would just be a metal shell.Turning it into a genuine Chinese aircraft would take well over a decade and many billions of dollars."
Richard Aboulafia, Managing Director of AeroDynamic Advisory.
The type of certificate granted on Thursday means it can be delivered to the first customer, China Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd, though local media have reported the plane is unlikely to enter commercial service with passengers until next year.
Richard Aboulafia said if China did decide to halt Western aircraft imports, the United States and allied countries could kill the C919 for years by prohibiting component exports.
The C919 has never made an appearance at the country's premier aviation event, Airshow China and it is unclear whether it will be on display or flown at the show in November.
COMAC will also need a separate production certificate before it can ramp up mass production of the plane, meaning its impact on the global aircraft market could remain limited given Airbus and Boeing produce dozens of narrowbodies a month.
According to a report by Huaxi Securities, the C919 will gradually begin to replace single-aisle aircraft made by Boeing and Airbus in China. And in the next 20 years, China's demand for narrowbody passenger aircraft like the C919 will be on average 300 per year.
The C919 lacks certification validation by U.S. and European regulators, limiting flights to the domestic market and possibly countries with close ties to China.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has been working for years on a certification validation process on the C919 with COMAC in parallel to CAAC's work, an EASA spokesperson said.
There have been 815 orders for the C919 from 28 customers, according to COMAC's website. But China Eastern is the only customer that has announced a firm delivery schedule and it expects to receive only four next year.

In the meantime, the Boeing 737 MAX has yet to return to commercial service in China, having been grounded since March 2019 after two fatal crashes. However, three months ago major Chinese airlines placed an order for nearly 300 Airbus A320neo family planes, showing the country plans to continue imports for some time.

Shikatani Lacroix developed a new brand identity and experience that was scaled to the entire DQ network including key consumer touchpoints. The program included a new position, identity, branded experience and packaging that allowed for significant growth, and franchisee alignment and support.

Shikatani Lacroix delivered:

final concepts
International Dairy Queen:
stores in 2006
per cent located in the U.S.
Since 1940, Dairy Queen has used a franchise system to expand its operations globally. The state with the most Dairy Queen restaurants is Texas. The Texas Dairy Queen Operators' Council facilitates marketing and the food system in Texas. Dairy Queen International is the parent company of Dairy Queen. In the U.S. it operates under American Dairy Queen. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. At the end of its fiscal year 2006, Dairy Queen reported over 5,600 stores in more than a dozen countries; about 4,600 of its stores (approximately 85 percent) were located in the United States.
Dairy Queen was well known for its cold treats but less so for its hot food offering, although it had been serving it in the marketplace for generations. A user and attitude study had identified that DQ was not known for its hot food and was not considered by consumers as a fast food option. Earlier attempts by the organization to launch a new burger were met with limited results and the organization was at a crossroads on how best to evolve the brand to increase lacklustre same store sales.
International Dairy Queen is the market leader in ice cream retailing through its network of franchisee and corporate owned locations. The chain identified a need to build stronger credibility for its food offerings, which historically had a very low consumer acceptance as part of the fast food consideration set. The organization also needed to unite its franchise network towards a growth strategy that met both short term and long term needs.
The chain identified a need to build stronger credibility for its food offerings
"The transformation of DQ was radical and provided curb side clarity that DQ was in the food business." Charles Chapman (VP of Operations, IDQ 2005 to 2010)
Shikatani Lacroix explored four different restaurant concepts that were further validated by both the franchisee network and consumers.
Following the research, and in further discussion with DQ, it was determined that the new concept required a higher degree of operations excellence as the new program would include an extensive range of salads, sandwiches and new burger options.
Shikatani Lacroix embarked on a two-tier branding strategy, leveraging the DQ Grill & Chill as the preferred concept for operators who were willing to make a significant commitment to the hot food side.
Shikatani Lacroix conducted an idea lab session with International Dairy Queen senior managers and more than 25 franchisees to identify the optimum brand experience and product offering that would best meet the needs of customers. The process leveraged insights from past studies and clearly defined the key need states of both the customer and the franchisee, to be further validated in a quantitative online study.
The research established that DQ Grill & Chill must adopt a concept that celebrated the treat side heritage of the brand while introducing a credible and quality food offering. In addition, the concept evolved to more effectively compete in the emerging fast casual segment of the foodservice industry.
Research findings validated the Grill & Chill concept in both its architectural representation and the sub-brand name. Respondents selected the fourth concept for its warmer and richer color scheme, in addition to its premise that the treats and hot food preparation are separate.
Shikatani Lacroix's team was involved from day one in determining every aspect of DQ's new position, menu items, experience, corporate identity, packaging, signage, interior and exterior environments.
In initial DQ Grill & Chill prototype location opened in Chattanooga and exceeded the initial ROI target of 18 percent. The program has been rolled out across the globe, becoming a key factor in the consecutive sustained growth of the franchise.

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a continuous filtration process used to separate emulsified oils and suspended solids from wastewater. A porous tubular membrane allows the water (permeate) to pass while larger contaminants such as oils and colloids are retained and concentrated. The membrane surface avoids any build -up since the high velocity of the incoming water produces a scouring effect. Ultrafilters can provide absolute treatment to a wide variety of waste streams.
In general, ultrafiltration is a pressure driven process that performs separation via a semipermeable membrane. The waste stream is pumped into the the train of membranes. As the waste stream passes through the inside of the membrane, water and small solutes move radially outward through the membrane and toward the shell of the tube. This is called the "permeate." The larger particles, such as oils, are unable to pass through the membrane and form the "concentrate." The concentrate is recycled over and over to remove as much water as possible. The permeate can be discharged whereas the concentrate must be further treated or disposed.

Looking to become a homeowner? It's the perfect time to do so. As the nation's third-largest home loan servicer, Mr. Cooper is ready to assist you in your journey to becoming a homeowner.

Mr. Cooper in Ringwood can help you do so much — even learn more about your credit score and finances in general.
We know that getting a mortgage can be complicated, particularly when you're a first-time home buyer in Ringwood, NJ. Give us a call to see how it applies to you. Until then, here's what you need to know to get started.
Conventional loans are one of the most common and popular mortgage options for home buyers in Ringwood. These are loans that are not insured by the federal government. Instead, conventional loans are backed by private lenders like Mr. Cooper. Some benefits of a conventional loan may include numerous term lengths and agreeable interest rates.
As a Ringwood home buyer, you might be eligible for FHA financing, another type of home loan. FHA loans are also called Federal Housing Administration loans. They're backed by the U.S. government. FHA loans are known for having more flexible credit qualifications and lesser down payments than conventional loans. Ask Mr. Cooper about FHA loan requirements in Ringwood today.
VA home loans are only available to service members, veterans, and their spouses. If you're trying to buy a house in Ringwood and you're a veteran, active-duty service member, or surviving spouse, you could be eligible for a VA loan.

Mr. Cooper Refinancing in Ringwood
Besides new home loans, Mr. Cooper also provides mortgage refinancing in Ringwood. Refinancing a home loan is simple. It means you pay off your existing home loan and replace it with a new one that's a better fit for your financial situation. The new loan could come with a shorter loan term, a more favorable interest rate, or both. Most of the time, the goal of refinancing is to obtain a lower interest rate and cut down your monthly payment (so you can invest more money in making memories in your Ringwood house!).
Similar to how there are different options for new home loans, there are also different options for refinancing. One option is to refinance to get a better interest or loan term. There's also cash-out refinancing, which allows homeowners who want to leverage equity they have built in their home as cash to pay for college tuition or home improvements. Cash-out refinancing can also be a way to consolidate debt, since you can tap into your home's equity and use the cash to pay down car loans, credit card debt, or medical bills.^ The right refinance option is a phone call away.

Billed as the final movie in the Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After is a great addition to the series. The fun movie is a little darker than the others — as all final movies in a series should be — with the crafty Rumplestiltskin (voiced by Walt Dohrn) providing a fabulous villain. In the film, Shrek's family life has lost its once-shiny and new luster, and the ogre is in a rut. He longs for a day when he could just be a regular ogre again, and Rumplestiltskin gives him the chance. But when the trickster takes away all of Shrek's life and family, Shrek realizes how good he had it. Now, with the kingdom of Far Far Away under Rumplestiltskin's tyrannical rule, the only way Shrek can make things right again is to get a true love's kiss from Fiona. Too bad Fiona is now a warrior princess who doesn't know Shrek exists.
All the voice stars from the previous three movies are back — Mike Myers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Fiona, Eddie Murphy as Donkey and Antonio Banderas as a fat Puss in Boots, plus newcomers Jon Hamm (TV's Mad Men), Craig Robinson (TV's The Office), Jane Lynch (TV's Glee) and the Today show's Meredith Viera.
Most of the stars are seen in the "Conversation With the Cast" featurette, with the actors on a panel in front of a live audience. During the program, Hamm admits he would have played any role the director wanted him to; he just wanted to be a part of a Shrek movie because he has been a fan since the original was released in 2001. Comedian Murphy gets everyone laughing when he demonstrates how he makes Donkey into a hand puppet to do commentary when he's watching bad movies in his home theater.
Myers also is interviewed in various featurettes that look at the series of Shrek movies as a whole, and he's praised for what he brought to the role. And Diaz hosts a featurette on how the story of Shrek was brought to the stage for the Broadway musical.
The Blu-ray disc also offers a handful of deleted scenes, one hilarious segment that's a do-not-miss: Rumplestiltskin makes a contract with the Emperor from "The Emperor's New Clothes." Too bad it's only in storyboard form, but it's still a funny scene.
And for fans who enjoy learning about the more technical side of animation, the "Animators Corner" video commentary gives a glimpse into the making of the movie, as animators tell secrets about the film's production, mixed with concept art and storyboards.
With the release of this disc so close to Christmas, DreamWorks has included lots of special features for the holiday, including "Shrek's Yule Log," which will turn your TV into a burning fireplace with the sound of the Shrek family Christmas party in the background; "Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular," with Donkey, Puss and others performing their own funny versions of various Christmas songs; the "Deck the Swamp" game, in which viewers help Donkey fix broken ornaments to decorate the tree (this is more for younger viewers); and recipes by Cookie (Robinson), including the chimichangas from the movie.
Shrek Forever After also is available in the Shrek The Whole Story boxed sets, which contain all four Shrek movies plus special features.

Brazil: Digital Asset Adoption and Regulatory Framework
Cryptocurrency adoption indexes have been growing uninterruptedly for almost a decade now, with digital assets reaching peripheral countries the same way they did central Europe and USA at their inception. Having briefly introduced the state of digital asset adoption on the Latin American market, it is time to follow up with specific countries of the region. Firstly, we will look at Brazil, America's second largest country by population.
Digital asset adoption in Brazil
The adoption of digital assets in Brazil has had a steep curve ever since its first exposure. Curiously enough, a 221-page Global Digital Report by Hootsuite and We Are Social reveals that Brazil – the fifth largest economy and sixth country in terms of population – is also placed as the fifth country in the world in terms of owners of cryptocurrency [1]. Regionally, Brazil accounts for the most cryptocurrency usage by on-chain volume of all Latin American countries – by far [2].
At a more granular level, the distribution of adoption is an interesting topic in itself. Electroneum, an instant payment blockchain-based app, found that while ~25% of Brazil's population stands below the poverty line, 40% of crypto holders earn less than the minimum wage [3]. Furthermore, cryptocurrency adoption is growing both as an investment type and as a payment method in Brazil. A survey carried out by the Center for Governance of Change to over 1,000 Brazilians showed that over 10 percent of respondents utilize cryptocurrencies on a monthly-basis [4].
Source: Current usage of money in Brazil [4]
Digital asset acceptance in Brazil
Digital asset acceptance has also been increasing in Brazilian marketplaces. It is reaching hundreds of businesses in several cities – potentially touching millions of lives. The latest mapping carried out by Statista in 2021 showed that over 40 million people could be exposed to businesses with cryptocurrency ATMs or in-store crypto payment methods:
Characteristics No. of crypto businesses Population (2020)
São Paulo 358 22.046.000
Rio de Janeiro 65 12.272.000
Porto Alegre 56 1.484.941
Belo Horizonte 37 5.159.000
Recife 37 1.555.039
Source: Top Businesses in the 5 biggest cities in Brazil that either have a cryptocurrency ATM or offer crypto as an in-store payment method as of March 9, 2021 [5]
With the approval of Bitcoin's ETFs by Brazil's securities exchange commission, a number of crypto-indexed funds launched at the beginning of the year. Significantly, this has allowed investors the ability to include digital assets in their holdings in a similar manner as buying stocks. Mercado Bitcoin, the largest Bitcoin exchange in Brazil, has recently achieved unicorn status and processed a higher volume this year so far than the aggregate time period from 2013 to 2018 [6] [7].
The scene has even come to showcase an uncommon adoption cases. For instance, Burger King Brazil now accepts dogecoin as a payment method to purchase the fast-food chain's Dogpper, their dog snack [8].
Digital asset regulatory framework in Brazil
Despite the impressive growth it's had adoption-wise, regulation in Brazil has had a hard time keeping up, proving inconsistent. Several governmental and regulatory institutions also have differing conceptions on digital assets, creating a complex landscape for holders and traders [9].
Global Legal Insights produced a diligent first approach to the regulatory framework in Brazil [10]:
Government definition and attitude. While not specifically regulating the creation, use and trade of digital assets, Brazilian authorities don't regard digital assets as legal tender. Several institutions -such as the Central Bank or the Brazilian equivalent of the US SEC- have made public their position of caution and stated the risks of holding cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency regulation. Overlapping bills are currently being considered by the House of Representatives -Brazil's legislative bench-, simultaneously aiming to: define and allow them, and prohibit regulatory bodies from creating rules that could ban or hinder the issuance, circulation and use of cryptocurrencies; or the activities of exchanges.
Sales regulation. As in every other country aiming to determine the nature of cryptocurrencies, digital assets in Brazil are undergoing tests regarding how they should be defined. Pending the definition, it may result in them being considered as securities and therefore required to register with the securities exchange commission (CMV).
Taxation. Digital assets are currently being considered as assets, so digital asset holders must declare them in their income tax returns, and pay the corresponding tax or capital gains obtained from selling them.
Ownership and listing requirements. At the present time, the only Circular Notice issued in 2018 bans the direct acquisition of cryptocurrencies by Brazilian investment funds as cryptocurrencies are not qualified as financial assets under current regulations. However, Brazilian investment funds are still able to make indirect investments in cryptocurrencies (via cryptocurrency-based derivatives or third party vehicles directly investing in cryptocurrencies or their derivatives and which are incorporated in jurisdictions where they are allowed to hold cryptocurrencies or their derivatives).
Mining. Mining cryptocurrencies is not prohibited, and has not been the subject matter of any specific observation by Brazilian authorities.
Reporting requirements. Reporting reaches both retail users and institutions (or legal persons). Therefore, retail users need to report digital assets holdings in their income tax returns as "other assets," under federal tax authorities. Institutions – mainly digital asset exchanges – are also required to report a series of transactions, including purchases, sales, donations, issuances and any other transfers of cryptocurrencies.
Scaling to new territories
With the discovery of new use cases for cryptocurrencies and rising digital asset adoption rates in Brazil, new opportunities appear. The Brazilian case is an enticing one for those who see the potential digital assets have on a major world economy. But building this endeavour from the ground up can be a complicated journey, with a long list of tasks ahead.
Scalable Solutions can provide a wide range of products and services in the space to make this journey easier – from building your exchange from scratch, auditing your project to ensure a secure release, to tokenizing real world assets. The Brazilian market is one ripe with opportunities for new and existing businesses and investors to scale.

MORE INFO ABOUT Cradle Of Filth
Cradle of Filth are a heavy metal band formed in Suffolk, England in 1991. They have been embraced and disowned with equal fervour by various metal communities, and their particular subgenre has provoked a great deal of discussion. The band's sound evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles, while their lyrical themes and imagery are heavily influenced by gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. The band have successfully broken free of their original niche by courting mainstream publicity (often to the chagrin of its early fanbase), and this increased accessibility has brought coverage by the likes of Kerrang! and MTV, frequent main stage appearances at major festivals such as Ozzfest and Download, and in turn a more "commercial" image. They have sometimes been perceived as satanic by casual observers, although their outright lyrical references to satanism are few and far between, and use of satanic imagery has arguably always had more to do with the shock value than any seriously-held beliefs. According to Metal Hammer magazine, they are the most successful British metal band since Iron Maiden.

Discussion in 'Happy Birthday!!' started by geordiecolin, Jun 14, 2018.
I love wishing folk a Happy Birthday. So much so that I am known to wish you a Happy Birthday even when its not your Birthday.
So as there is no alert for Birthday's in here this thread is intended for you to remind me of your special day.

Mine is Tuesday... hint hint. I always enjoy the birthday wishes from my friends here.
There is a small number of CM friends that are FB friends that might be prompted it's my birthday, but I'm not above starting my own thread if necessary, lol.
I think surviving another year is something to celebrate for sure. I know some people don't like to acknowledge they are getting older, but whether you acknowledge it or not, your are. We always had an option not to share DOB.
While I am not one of the people that come up with funny or cute pics or gifs, I appreciate people that do take the time, and I enjoy seeing them in other people's birthday threads.
I was going to insert a cute pic, but I am too lazy to read terms and make sure I can share it freely in this kind of forum. I try to respect copyrights, and I've become more aware of them in recent years, including via some of our fellow members that produce artistic works.
I'm bad for being late with wishing Happy Birthday, even when I do see it, thinking I will come back to it later, or because I want to write something a little more personal or creative.
Please know whether I wish you one or not, I truly want everyone to enjoy their day.
And casinos, whether it carries a WR or not, us slotters love a free kick at the can!

Legacy user, Scott Langworthy, has written up some instructions for manipulating census images to make them easier to read. He has kindly offered to share them here with you. Before downloading the document, here is a summary of how this can benefit genealogists.
IrfanView is a Free Photo Viewer which has many surprising capabilities, some of which I use all the time in my genealogical research and using Legacy Family Tree software.
When IrfanView, I can take a downloaded Census Image from Ancestry (for example), and do the following as needed to provide me with a finished Jpg photo.
I can Crop the excess part of the image. Getting rid of black or white that is surrounding the image we want to preserve.
I can use the Color Corrections Menu off of the Image Menu, to adjust the Gamma, and Contrast, to eliminate some of the noise, or to darken, or to lighten the image making it easier to see and interpret.
I can use a little trick in that same menu, if I first highlight the area where I want a nice Highlight Yellow area, and then use the BLUE Color Button and shift it down all the way to -255 thereby turning the selection in question, YELLOW and yet still see the underlying Black Text.
I can use the Resize menu off of the Image menu, to resize the full size image, in order to reduce the size in MB, to something smaller, but yet still zoomable to read details. This helps keep File sizes down, which can make the Legacy Database Images unwieldy.
There are other things this free viewer program can do, but this alone makes my simple editing work fast and allows for fast flow in getting the info, and moving on to the next image.
Click here to download the step-by-step, illustrated instructions.
Did you know that if you RIGHT click on the tags in the Family or Pedigree Views it will bring up the Advanced Tagging screen? It saves you a few clicks.
If you have your tags labeled on the Advanced Tagging screen, if someone is tagged on one of the labeled tags and you hover your mouse over that tag you will get a little popup with the label. This is great if you forget what Tag 5 was.
Adding unlinked individuals to your file is a great way to capture people that you "think" are related but you aren't quite sure. You can add them as an unlinked individual and then you treat them just like anyone else in your file. You can add their family members and you will create a separate tree for this family group. If you ever find the connection you can simply link them to the main tree and all of the members of that tree will be linked.
Here is a screenshot of the trees in my One-Name Study. A One-Name Study inherently has a lot of unlinked individuals but with any luck you will find family connections and start linking people. This is actually a small ONS file because Glaentzer is a rare surname. You can see that my ONS file has 229 separate trees all in one file. I can use the scroll bar to see them all or I can print a list. You can also see that I can tag all of the members of a specific tree which is very helpful. I can also tag the "anchors" of each tree. Legacy has so many cool features.
To reach the Tree Finder screen, choose Trees on the View tab of the Ribbon bar. The first time this screen is displayed, Legacy builds the list. When you return to this screen in the future, the same list is shown (for speed reasons). If you have added new trees or just want to make sure that the list is up-to-date, click the Refresh button.
If you are going to make any changes to your file that have a global impact you need to make a backup of your file first. The biggie is when you are doing any merging. Legacy will make a temporary backup for you before you start merging and then put a nice little icon on your ribbon so that you can revert back.
When you do that, you will see the temp backup on the toolbar as soon as you start Find Duplicates routine.
This backup is only good for the current merging session! As soon as you close the merge the icon on the ribbon will disappear. I always make a real backup too in case I change my mind after I close the session.
You need to make a backup before you start working in any of the Master Lists. When you make a change here it affects your entire file and if you accidentally make a mistake a backup with save you a lot of tears.
If you ever use the Advanced Deleting you will want to make a backup first. Once you click the Apply button you can't go back. I highly suggest you keep the box "Confirm Each Deletion" checkmarked. Same with Advanced Sourcing. If you send a source to 462 people you can imagine that it won't be fun to go through there and delete them one at a time if you accidentally made a mistake.
You can get to the Edit Children screen by right clicking in the Children's List in the Family View and then selecting Children's Settings OR you can click on the cute little shortcut icon that will take you right to it.
What's that on my TV? If you said "Webinar Wednesday" you're right!
My brand new Chromecast from Google arrived in today's mail and now I can watch anything in our webinar library from the comfort of my living room recliner on my 55" wide-screen TV without having to connect my laptop to the TV. Talk about genealogy and technology heaven!
1. Purchase the Chromecast device. Amazon sells it for $30-35 here.
2. Plug it in to one of the HDMI ports on your television.
3. Plug the included USB power cable into one end of the Chromecast, and the other end into an open USB port on your television.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Also look for the Google Cast button in video apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and more.
Once everything's set up (it's really pretty easy) look for the Google Cast button in the upper right of your Chrome browser and click.
And here's another options screen (click the small arrow in the upper right). This lets you cast not just a browser's tab, but your entire monitor.
And here's what my 9-year-old, Braden, looks like as he watches our Genealogy Serendipity webinar from the couch.
I'm not a big TV watcher, but with this technology, I love that I can catch up on or re-watch webinars in our library on the big screen. I might even do it with a bowl of popcorn tonight.


A 'client' template is a backend template that installs as an admin template but displays a simpler interface intended to be used by nontechnical staff who maintain the website and its content. This version reuses much of the Isis template as a foundation but is designed to visually resemble Mission Control. Having been rebuilt and designed as a client template, it installs as a very clean backend template with the expectation that features will be added only if they are needed by the client.
Beta version is now available for download. Sign up to be notified when the "production" version is available.
Client 3 is the first ever backend template designed exclusively for the client's user experience in managing the website. (Built for Joomla 3.x.) The traditional admin template installs with full access to all backend features and requires some CMS expertise to use. In contrast, this client template installs practically blank, requiring the site integrator to add which tasks and features will be available to any given user based upon that user's group membership.
As shown here, Client 3 displays no menu or set of quick links. The only universal features are a link to the dashboard, a link to view the front-end of the site, and link to the user's account for logging out. By default, the traditional admin menu is shown, but only to Super user, and this option can be turned off.
To make the Client Template usable to client and content managers, the site integrator needs to declare one or more sets of links. These can be displayed as a modules of quick links, as a client menu, or both. Client 3 does not come installed with navigation tools, but it does provide links to such tools as developed by the iCue Project, which have been built for and tested within Client 3.
This tool allows you to create sets of links, each grouped by a category. An installable admin module allows you to display each set of links and assign the module to display only to a specified access level. Each link includes a title, an icon, and the link to a backend URL that takes a user directly to a starting point for performing a particular task. This accommodates a role-based approach to presenting only certain links to certain groups of users. Details on how to use this tool can be found on the product page for this tool.
In many cases, a set of client links will suffice for many client-based users. Arguably, these can replace the need for a dropdown menu.
We feel it is a best not to give a client access to the same admin menu that site integrators use. If a top menu is desired for client use, this tool allows you to tailor a main menu to the needs and restricted responsibilities of clients (based upon access levels and/or user groups).
Similar to Client Links, Client Menu allows you to declare a title and a URL to backend pages. In its current state, the Client Menu used drag-and-drop to arrange the menu items and to group them into a hierarchy.
Information on how to use this tool is provided on its product page.
In the spirit of not dictating how you use Client 3, this client template allows you to include the default admin menu into one of the top two navigation rows. (By default, this menu displays to Super Admin alone.) Keep in mind that this menu is not configurable except by overriding at the code level, contains Joomla-specific terms, and possibly offers access to feature that you don't' want to show.
Client 3 leverages many features from Joomla's admin template Isis – such as drag-and-drop and Bootstrap. However, the layout resembles that of the lean admin template Mission Control (for Joomla 2.5 only). All items found in Isis's sidebar are moved to the top to provide a wider table for holding more columns. Component section links are clearly shown as such, and filters are clearly marked and grouped just above the list. As a result, all parts are intuitive in what they do and how they are related – requiring minimal user training.
The details page varies in a few ways from the Isis to accommodate infrequent users. The action buttons of Save, Close, etc., are moved to the upper right so they demand less attention of the user when starting to edit a page. When fields are grouped under sections, the section links are visually emphasized as tabs. The editor's extend buttons are grouped with the editor emphasizing their link to the edit field. The main options like "published," "featured," and "tags" are grouped in a bit more prominently as a sidebar module.

Politan Row Debuts In Colony Square With a Few Surprises Including Swanky Private Event Space
Patrons can also reserve The Chef's Table for a full-service dinner option, or buy out the entire food hall for 600 guests.
This post is an update of: Politan Row Food Hall To Debut in Colony Square With $125 'First Look' Event June 24
The Blue Room | Photo: Official
Colony Square recently reached the latest milestone its $400 million redevelopment — the opening of its food hall, Politan Row. And with its debut came a few previously unreported surprises such as the venue's private event space, The Blue Room, and The Chef's Table, a full-service dinner option.
"With Politan Row at Colony Square, we really wanted to bring an old school, neighborhood restaurant vibe to the bustling Midtown area," Will Donaldson, founder and CEO of Politan Group, said in a prepared statement. "In partnership with our women-led design firm Bell-Butler, we've sprinkled nods to the project's history throughout the space to create an inviting, familiar atmosphere. In addition to its alluring personality, the food hall also has several thoughtful hospitality elements weaved into the operational side that will provide our guests with an exceptional dining experience. We are confident this project will deliver everything the Midtown food scene is wanting."
Curated and operated by New Orleans-based Politan Group, Politan Row at Colony Square is the company's seventh and largest food hall. It features space for 11 independent food and beverage concepts, a central bar, an event space, and a secret, hidden bar.
The nine open purveyors include Belli Pizzeria, Bun Mi Grill, Federal Burger, Gekko, Locale Cafe, Pretty Little Tacos, Tandoori Pizza, and Wing Co., Unbeliebubble, and YŌM. The last two concepts are in the works and will be announced soon.
More than half of the square footage at Politan Row at Colony Square is dedicated to outdoor dining. Interior space, which can seat 250 guests, makes up approximately 20,000 square feet, while outdoor space encompasses 22,000 square feet. The food hall also features a 24' indoor/outdoor glass wall that opens up the interior space to engage with the outdoors. The outdoor experience includes The Plaza, The Patio, and The Grove.
The Midtown food hall is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and features several distinctive offerings, including Bar Politan, the Chef's Table experience, and fully-equipped event space. Guest parking will also be validated for up to two hours.
Bar Politan is a 40-seat bar anchored at the heart of the food hall, surrounded by the food vendors and managed by hospitality industry veteran Quinton Anderson. The bar program is focused on craft cocktails, a wine selection, and local beer options. All syrups and shrubs are housemade, and signature draft cocktails include the Effervescent Margarita and Wheatclaw (housemade hard seltzer). Bar Politan specializes in classic cocktails, however, off-menu classics are also available upon request. The central bar offers a happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, with beverage specials starting at $7. On Sundays, Bar Politan will serve a full brunch cocktail menu.
The Chef's Table offers a full-service, reserved dinner option for up to 12 guests. Prices start at $30 per person, with beverages available a la carte from Bar Politan. Daily reservations are limited, so guests are encouraged to book their Chef's Table experience in advance or inquire with the ambassador team. Guests should allow two hours for the experience.
The Blue Room is an internal private event space offered by Politan Row. It is fully furnished and features a 40-foot ceiling with a retractable blue velvet curtain, a private bar, and A/V capabilities for meetings and presentations. The space is inspired by the legendary Jazz venue of the same name in New Orleans, where Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald were frequent performers. The Blue Room can accommodate up to 70 guests seated or 120 standing. In addition to The Blue Room, the entire Politan Row at Colony Square, including the covered outdoor Patio and stage area, is available for buyouts, creating the ultimate Chef's Table experience for up to 600 guests.

Winter is often thought of as a cozy, holiday season. But did you know that the coldest and driest month of the year is actually February?
Many months of dry, cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin. We see a lot of clients in our NYC studio looking for help combating winter weather and advice on how to keep their skin hydrated for so many months.
So here are some of our best ways to help your skin and how colder weather can actually be used as a restorative break for your skin.
Your skin is already facing a climate that will strip away its moisture and protective barrier. Make sure to use products that give moisture back to your skin and don't stress it any further.
Start by swapping any foaming cleansers - which may clean your skin by stripping away its natural moisture - for oil-based cleansers that will hydrate and strengthen skin (I use our Revealing Botanical Oil Cleanser).
Winter layering is for more than just sweaters! Don't be afraid to give more back to your skin by layering up your skincare products too. I'd recommend starting with a hydrating or plumping serum as a base and then proceeding to a hydrating, nurturing oil (I only use Cold Season Botanical Facial Oil). Finish your routine with a hydrating mist (Plant Therapy Helichrysum Hydrosol is super nurturing and balances skin's natural pH).
One of my greatest skincare tips is to keep a humidifier running by your bed. This will really help enfuse the air around you with moisture that your skin isn't getting outside. Just make sure to change the water and clean the system often.
If you already have a winter skincare routine that works for you, but want to make sure you're using the healthiest, most hydrating products possible, you may want to look out for the ingredients below.
In fighting harsh winter weather, it's important to not only infuse the skin with moisture, but also protect your skin from drying out afterward. Look for naturally protective ingredients like Schizandra known to work as an adaptogen, Tamanu and Moringa, which help strengthen your skin's natural barrier.
A lot of our clients are interested in ingredients that improve skin elasticity and fight the effects of aging. These ingredients are a wonderful way to reinvigorate tired, winter skin as well. I recommend looking for products that increase collagen or contain naturally anti-aging properties, like hyaluronic acid and ferulic acid. Personally, I use our Vitamin Peptide Serum, which stimulates collagen production with five powerful peptides to reverse damage caused by aging and environmental factors.
Winter is the best time of year to recover from sun damage you might have suffered during the warmer, sunnier months.
Peels are a great winter treatment because they can go deep to remove damage that the sun might've done to your skin. Plus peels should always be done when you won't be in contact with strong, summer sunlight. Make sure to ask your esthetician about which peels are best-suited for your skin type and lifestyle (for example, some peels shouldn't be done on pregnant women).
I recommend that my clients begin incorporating LED Light Therapy into their professional and at-home routines during the winter. Red light helps increase cellular activity, including that which stimulates collagen production. Regular use has proven to reduce sun damage and plump fine lines. There are some great at-home options, like Celluma (which is also what I use in the Tulura studio).
Most people never think to apply sunscreen during the colder months. But I always urge my clients to apply a mineral-based sunscreen whenever they leave the house, regardless of the time of year. This practice will protect skin from any further damage.
For my hair, I incorporate a weekly, hydrating mask to help the static effect I get from wearing hats and spending time in artificially heated air. Rahua Omega 9 Hair Mask is made exclusively from clean, non-toxic ingredients and smells incredible. I apply to damp or dry hair and sweep my hair into a bun. Once I've let it sit for a while and washed my hair, I notice a huge difference in its overall health and texture. I sometimes add a tiny bit on the ends after towel drying, it helps to condition during the day and give a bit of texture.
We'd love to hear how these tips work for you or if you have any of your own winter skin hacks. Comment below to let us know!
Love this!!! Never thought to run a humidifier at night! Obsessed with the facial oil…my skin is so soft after and makes my nightly routine go so much faster!


6' right of Rostrum Roof fingers and laybacking out the roof then reach right for a good hold.
We climbed the regular rostrum, a cool Bombay chimney, perfect hands 10b crack, followed by a triangle belay stance in space, where my new summit shoes felt like they were milking blood out of my feet. Then to a large ledge where most parties exit the climb, but for those who continue is the 11c thin crack pitch. Bill led this pitch then we were under the mushroom like roof looking at the final pitch to summit. Bill planed on climbing out the 10a off with but backed down several times because of poor pro. He resorted to aid the Alien 12b roof instead. Once past the roof bill yelled, "Okay I'm going to stop aiding and climb the head wall clean." He threw in a 2-½-inch friend and climbed past it only to hang on all the rest of the gear he placed. So my saying is that Bill led the Alien and did not hang on a piece of gear. Yea the only piece he did not hang on was the 1-½ inch friend. When I hit the head wall I wanted to hang on the rope but when I did I started to be lowered into space off the lip of the roof. Bill yelled, " I can't hold you" so I hook onto a piece of pro. When I reached the top Bill was sitting on the edge of the climb where I had drug him because he was not hooked on to a belay? He said, " He could not make the manzaneda tree because of all the rope we used for the belay." This was a very demanding climb, I have only repeated this climb once after in my life.
This already sandbagged route is even more so if you are say...5'5" or shorter. The roof is easily 12.c. Unfortunately, if you are shorter than said height, you cannot reach through to the Regular Rostrum roof crack; instead, you must climb over on crimps to the other crack fifteen feet shy of the bolt and then climb more 12- climbing to the final 5.11 finish. I thought the entire route was at last 12.d given my variation. The day of my redpoint we had climbed the regular Rustrum route to approach the roof; a light rain made the moves at the finish quite exciting. I dub it the Alien Ressurection 12.d.


BEER FREEZER was an image that captured the entire tone of the bumpers... a guy at home alone, watching the show. What do you do when you need to emergency chill a six-pack? You stick them in your stalactite ridden freezer, which happened to be in my apartment. The six-pack of Late Night beer was used for props in a few other bumper as practical props and post graphics as well.
This image was created completely in camera using the famous Late Night six-pack of which only 6 were created.

This with Air Canada's new fast plane would
This received a 27/28 in my OAC law class so, have a blast…..WHEN FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY IN CANADAThe law sometimes seems to pervade all aspects of ourlives and an involvement with bankruptcy and insolvencylaw has proved to be almost unavoidable for businesspeople in Canada during the 1990's.
In simplest term, corporate and individual bankruptcy law provides a set of rules to prevent chaos among the creditors of an insolvent corporation or individual. The legislation is a complex in part because those creditors fall into so many categories-secured creditors, unsecured creditors, government creditors, and so on-each with its own special rights and interests in the bankruptcy process.Canada's federal bankruptcy statute, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, also deals with corporate receivership. A receivership is not the same as a bankruptcy. By the same token, a receiver is not the same as a trustee in a bankruptcy. However, the two systems have a lot in common and a receivership of an individual or a corporation usually occurs at the same time as a bankruptcy.Corporations that have become insolvent can try to avoid bankruptcy and receivership by reorganizing their finances.
The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act deals with reorganizations and another federal statute, the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, may offer relief to some corporations. Some of Canada's biggest news stories of the past few years have concerned the attempts of major Canadiancompanies such as Olympia & York, Algoma Steel, Grafton Fraser, Woodwards, Westar Mining, and Birks, to complete reorganizations. But the most well known companies were both Air Canada and Canadian Airlines.Air Canada, Canadian Airlines, and United Airlines are all commercial passenger air carriers. Beyond that, they have only a few similarities. All are old commercial carriers that were facing bankruptcy together until the Canadian Postal Service approved air travel for Canadian Mail in 1925.
There, they reached a point of divergence that continues today.AIR CANADATime Magazine's November 17, 1958 cover sported a diagonal banner across one corner reading "Jets Across Canada." (Goutierez, 1997).
At the time of the article's publication, "Air Canada had earned a reputation as an industry leader, and this, coupled with the high-profile leadership of 'Mr. C.R.,' made Air Canada's imminent transcontinental jet service the catalyst for an exciting new era. Time wrote that although Pan Am had already flown jets across the Atlantic, C.
R. Smith and Air Canada would usher in the 'Jet Age' for most Canadians with the introduction of Boeing 707's on Transcon routes" (Goutierez, 1997). CEO Smith often said that his own typewriter was "the most important piece of equipment Air Canada owns" (Goutierez, 1997). Likely, he would barely recognize the company today. The Time article reported that with Air Canada's new fast plane would come sweeping changes in the transport of both people and things, and that Air Canada was working with IBM "on an electronic system that can transmit information on every Air Canada flight across the U.S. and Canada, enabling clerks to tell instantly which seats are free.
' Air Canada called its new system the 'Semi-Automated Business Research Environment'—SABRE" (Goutierez, 1997). When A.C sought to develop further firsts for the airline industry, baggage handling came under scrutiny.
There were plans for automated handling of luggage destined for a common city, but the system proved to be too cumbersome for use on narrow-bodied jets. A Canadian executive had complained "'Right now, we're still loading baggage on planes the same way they loaded Cleopatra's barge.' But containers proved impractical for narrowbodied jets, so thirty-seven years later, we're still loading narrowbodies like Cleopatra's barge" (Goutierez, 1997), and so are all the other airlines. If United's pilots are exhibiting greed in attempting to reject their current contract as owners, then it was the Air Canada pilots they used as their role models.
The highest paid pilots in the industry, they took 4 percent pay raises during the entire time in the 1991-93 period when the entire industry was suffering, but "Air Canada was hemorrhaging money…having refused to 'share the pain' on the downside, they now expect to 'share the gain' on the upside" (Flint, 1997; p. 5). As at other airlines, the pilot union is separate from the other employees of the company, and those others consistently disparage the actions of the pilots. All the other employees not only did not receive increases during the tough times, they also accepted pay cuts.
Still, during 1997, Air Canada was able to generate nearly $18.5 billion, an increase of 4.6 percent over 1996 (www.nbrc.gov/).Canadian AirlinesCurrently the country's third-largest airline in terms of total revenue, Canadian Airlines is headquartered in Vancouver and has more than 63,000 employees worldwide. All of the major airlines suffered nearly crippling losses in the early 1990s, and Canadian was no exception.
The company has only recently returned to profitability, but reported a nearly flat annual growth rate for the fiscal year ended June, 1997, for total revenues of $13,590,000. Until the fall of 1996, Canadian Airlines stock value growth had been flat as the company searched for reasons and resolutions concerning this major issue which faces this corporation. One resolution could be the reorganization of finances.Canada went more than 40 years with essentially the same federal Bankruptcy Act.
The statute became badly outdated, and successive governments attempted bankruptcy reform to some degree or other. However, the subject was never a burning political issue, and each time a process died. Finally, in November 1992, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act became the law. It brought a host of changes to the following areas of the BIA Act. Changes to corporate reorganizations. Under the old Bankruptcy Act, it was almost impossible for companies to reorganize.
The new legislation has tried to add new life to reconstructing efforts under this statute.Changes to secures creditors and receivers. Before the BIA, when a bank wanted to enforce security against a corporate borrower it would usually call the loan in its own way and appoint a receiver.To the extent that the process was regulated, it was essentially a matter of provincial law, and many people felt it was not regulated very thoroughly. Now the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act regulates both the manner in which the loan is called and the receivership process.
Changes in government claims. Many government liabilities can arise out of the day to day operation of a business. Prior to the 1992 bankruptcy reform, these government claims enjoyed a sweeping preferred status, which tended to mean that the other creditors recovered little or none of the debt owed to them, on a corporate bankruptcy.
There was a general feeling that this situation was unfair, and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act has largely redressed the imbalance by downgrading government claims ( other than a few claims, including relating to income tax, Canada Pension Plan and Unemployment Insurance withholdings ) to ordinary status. Changes were also brought about in the Environmental legislation. In the decade before bankruptcy reform, the federal and provincial governments expanded the scope of their environmental protection legislation. One of the results was that anyone who had control over a property with an environmental problem could be held liable for the cost of fixing the problem, even if they are not the ones who had caused it. Such persons could include receivers and the banks and other lenders who appoint them, as well as trustees in bankruptcy. The situation reached the stage where no trustee in bankruptcy would assume responsibility for two large insolvent companies in British Columbia and Quebec because the companies' assets included environmentally hazardous property. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act introduced a modest degree of protection for trustees in bankruptcy but not for receivers.
The Act protects trustees from liability for any environmental condition or damage occurring before or after their appointment "except where the condition arose or the damage occurred as a result of the trustee's failure to exercise due diligence by investigating whether an environmental problem has occurred or occurring (e.g. determining if a pollutant is being discharged into a river) at the time of accepting the appointment.
The trustee must also continue to show due diligence during the term of the appointment in order to continue to enjoy protection under the Act.The last change was brought about in the Unpaid suppliers area. Under the old Bankruptcy Act, many trade suppliers received little or no recovery on a corporate bankruptcy or receivership due to the abundance of claims that used to be accorded a status superior to that of trade suppliers.
Legislators become particularly concerned about suppliers who were unpaid even though the product was supplied days before the bankruptcy or receivership occurred. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act introduced a right for suppliers who ship product to a company that becomes bankrupt or subject to a receivership within 30 days. Essentially, the remedy is a right to reclaim the product. Unfortunately, the conditions that have to be satisfied in order for suppliers to exercise this right are so complicated that in practice the right is often available.There are many legalities involved when filing for bankruptcy. These are the legal steps to follow when doing so:More than 90 percent of bankruptcy proceedings are reportedly voluntary.
They are initiated by the debtor, who files a petition with the appropriate federal court. A bankruptcy trustee then collects and liquidates the debtor's nonexempt property for the benefit of the unsecured creditors. Secured creditors are not affected by bankruptcy liquidation's because they have taken collateral (such as a home mortgage) to ensure repayment of debts.
Once distribution to unsecured creditors occurs, the court discharges the debtor unless that person's prior behavior justifies denying the discharge or granting it with certain specific statutory exceptions. In order to limit or deny the discharge, the creditor must prove that the debtor has obtained credit by fraudulent practices or has engaged in other prohibited behavior. Creditors can file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against a debtor, alleging that the debtor is "generally not paying" debts, but this type of proceeding rarely occurs.The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act allows both consumer and business debtors to attempt financial reorganization instead of liquidation of nonexempt assets. A debtor who selects this alternative proposes a reorganization plan for consideration by the affected creditors and the court. For individuals who use Chapter 13 reorganization proceedings, a typical plan requires payment from the debtor's future income. Businesses that wish to continue their operations, sometimes in a modified form, usually opt for Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings.
Their proposals may combine payments from sales of some business assets with income from future business operations. Stockholder interests may be restructured in addition to modifying payment requirements for their secured and unsecured debts which are still withstanding.The rules which the legislature have set are only there for the benefit of others, not for the bankrupt or insolvent individual or corporation.
Although, they do outline the proper procedure that one should take in order to and when filing for bankruptcy. Those laws can be found in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act ( BIA ). This just goes to show you that the law does indeed pervade all aspects of our lives and an involvement with bankruptcy and insolvency law has proved to be almost unavoidable for business people in Canada in this day and age.

Our graduates have found employment in a broad range of fields, such as journalism, NGO and intergovernmental organization work, PR, marketing, commerce, finance and education. The training they have received in the Global Communication program has prepared them to interact with and respond to a large number of situations and people. Overall, critical thinking skills, knowledge and experiences gained in the Global Communication program have provided them with the necessary tools to thrive in today's competitive job market, and more importantly, to do so with informed knowledge about and respect for other cultures and ways of living.
Being part of CUHK M.A Global Communication master was an incredible opportunity and the fulfillment of a long-standing dream to study in Asia in an international city. As a student I not only learned about communication in many diverse aspects but also met, and got to deeply like, my great classmates and teachers. They were all caring and helping me settling in this new city. Coming from France, this one-year program enlarged my understanding of Hong Kong and Asia while also providing me with theoretical frameworks to relate what I see and wonder at with historical and philosophical thinking. Looking back on our assignments and projects, with my classmates we achieved tight deadlines while always being encouraged and supported by our teachers and in the end we could be happy about our performances under their guidance. This experience also gave me confidence to stay in Hong Kong for the foreseeable future to look for an employment here and to keep discovering this fascinating place!
The experience of attending the MA in Global Communication programme has been challenging, but also extremely fulfilling. A wide range of high quality courses are offered to students, allowing for a great amount of customization when it comes to the structure and content of one's education. Whether your goal is to use this programme as a starting point of your journey into the field of academia, or to gain more practical knowledge necessary for success in the increasingly globalizing professional field, you will most likely find what you are looking for. The classes themselves aim to explore a variety of issues and debates, framing them in the larger context of a globalizing world, while also paying attention to local issues. While many case studies focus on events happening in China and other parts of South East Asia, the concepts and theories investigated are applicable in a variety of different contexts. On top of that, many pathways for development of practical skills – such as media and news production – are available as electives.
For me personally, the programme provided an opportunity to delve deeper into the issues I had engaged with during my previous studies, and greatly assisted in determining my next step. When I arrived in Hong Kong I knew little about my future, only that I wanted to stay in the region. The MA in Global Communication offers the tools, the contacts, and the support necessary to explore one's options. The combination of the insightful teaching staff, the regularly organized lectures by guest speakers from top global universities, and the extremely helpful administrative personnel, constitutes a rich, invigorating and (mostly) stress-free learning environment. In this environment I was able to pursue my goals, explore new ideas, and take first step into the world of academia.
Finally, studying at The Chinese University of Hong Kong means living in one of the world's most vibrant cities. In the relatively small area of Hong Kong, one can easily access a great plethora of thrilling and serene experiences, from the relative calm of the green campus and the New Territories, to the bustling intensity of Kowloon and the Hong Kong island itself. My advice to any incoming students is to take some time to explore and engage not only with the university (both socially and academically), but with the city itself. After all, if one's goal is to study globalization, Hong Kong serves as a wonderful case study.
I would definitely say studying M.A in Global Communication at CUHK was meaningful and full of achievements. This program not only allowed me to learn theoretical knowledge in globalization and communication but also to enhance practical skills of communication practices in technologies and PR industries. Most importantly, this program gave me a valuable opportunity to learn about myself through various theories. From my experience, I was able reflect my life and became clear about my nationality and identity as a "Third Culture Kid." Then I had a "light bulb moment" about why I always felt a lack of belonging and a loss of personal identity while living in China even though I was trilingual and adaptable to international environments. In addition, there are so many aspects of communication phenomena and social worlds I realized and learned through courses, which truly widened my world view and reflected values. Overall, as a GC student, I became more aware of global phenomena and concerned about related issues.I also became more confident than I was before.
The program was designed in a professional and comprehensive manner so that I could understand the concepts despite the fact that my undergraduate major was in a different field. Thus I would recommend this course to anyone from any background who would like to develop theoretical knowledge of global issues and practical insights of communication at the same time. Lastly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to professors and classmates for their warm support in this year.
When I first moved to HK in August 2016, I was completely shocked with everything around me – this was my first time in Asia region and first time to move so far away from home.
Several things happened straight away as I just moved to my new apartment which I was completely not ready for – living in a shared flat, no need for cooking, and a fish which flew in my face as I was moving in. My flatmates were nice and smiley, it felt comfortable to stay long hot evenings together as we prepared dinner and had a sip of wine.
My new uni life was groundbreaking as I was the only European in the whole Masters specs. It was vital to get to know folks. around and it relatively easy I found It was relatively easy to find people to spend weekends with and having fun while planning the presentations. Undoubtedly, this study journey is one of the best I ever had.
So what's next? I'm a marketing manager in a small Hong Kong company, being totally happy with the opportunities CUHK opened for me and my friends – it truly did prepare me for the local curiosities and ensured me once again in the unconditional love I got for HK. Living here is extremely comfortable, and I am not planning to move or come back home in the near future.
The M.A. in Global Communication course is indeed rewarding and stimulating. Students are required to think beyond their own cultural framework and take different perspectives when looking into world issues. The degree has a good balance of courses in social science theories and practical hands-on experience and equips students well with analytical, communication and teamwork skills for their future professional careers. Students are also given the opportunity to interact and share their thoughts with fellow course mates from different cultural backgrounds. The teaching staff has been very supportive, and teachers are enthusiastic to share their knowledge and experience, which makes lectures and seminars more interesting and interactive.
I think the M.A. in Global Communication is an adventure for me. I can explore and promote cutting-edge ideas in the context of globalization and analyze phenomena from a communication angle. The program focuses on the sophisticated analysis of daily communicative events from a social, historical, cultural, and political perspective. The teachers and staff of the program try to inspire students in various ways, not merely books. They are professional and warm. The distinctive background and culture of the classmates also enable students to understand the world from different perspectives. Thus, I am living a full and delightful life here. I hope you will also enjoy it.
Coming to CUHK was a dream of mine for years. There are very few programs in the world that combine communication, media, international and intercultural studies in the comprehensive way of CUHK's M.A. in Global Communication program. I feel the GC program's diversity and professionalism has prepared me to re-enter the ever globalizing workforce or to go into higher research-based degree programs. During my first term in the GC program, I had a family emergency back in the U.S. that left me feeling stressed because I was so far from home. The professors and staff at CUHK were an amazing support system as I worked to balance the stress with school life. I have made so many friends and developed great relationships with my professors. This is an encouraging environment to challenge yourself to grow as both a student and a person. I feel extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to fulfill my dream of studying at CUHK.
My life at CUHK is extremely fruitful since the M.A. in Global Communication program is a fantastic platform for me to embrace the diversity of the world. We can hear different voices, exchange ideas and take part in various kinds of seminars, lectures and activities! The program enables me to have a more profound understanding of globalization and equips me with better interpersonal skills to communicate with people. Come and join us!
As an international student from Moscow, Russia, I have encountered a whole new world by studying in the M.A. in Global Communication program at CUHK. All of the professors are great and each of them has a unique teaching style. They really do keep you busy but in a fun and exciting way. The GC program is based on a combination of theory and practice. There are individual assignments and group projects that sometimes require a little extra effort. I would recommend this program to those who do not have any professional experience and have not made their career decisions yet. And yes, Hong Kong is awesome!
What impresses me most in the M.A. in Global Communication program at CUHK are the erudite and well-informed teachers. They encourage us to go beyond the Chinese contexts and have a global perspective to interpret international and intercultural issues. Critical thinking and developing your own insights are most important here. Moreover, I really enjoy the cultural diversity and the variety of different activities at CUHK!
Simply speaking, the M.A. program in Global Communication has provided many opportunities for me to explore the world. The courses are designed comprehensively and have enabled me to gain a global perspective, from Asia to Africa, from more developed countries to ethnic minorities. I was taught and trained to look at things from many theoretical and practical angles. Also, as the only Hong Kong local student in my class, attending lessons and communicating with my classmates was an exciting "transnational" experience for me. We were not only learning global issues through lessons, but also experiencing a global atmosphere in the classes. I'm so glad having had the chance being a member of this program.
Studying in the M.A. in Global Communication at CUHK has not only been an educational but a lifetime experience for me. It helped me understand more about the globalization dynamics and its implications and systematize the knowledge I already had. The program gives valuable insights into the world of research and how to look for key information, a skill that is crucial when entering the job market. I have also met amazing and inspiring people along the way, made long-lasting friendships within the program and discovered more about my identity.
The M.A. in Global Communication helped me stand out when applying for jobs at multilateral organizations as it gave me a grasp on what the world looks like from a Chinese perspective. Life in Hong Kong was a thrilling experience and teachers at CUHK helped me understand and overcome transcultural communication challenges. You should definitely consider pursuing the M.A. in Global Communication at CUHK!
The M.A. in Global Communication program at CUHK was an extraordinary experience for me. The program provides a theoretical perspective for students to solve practical problems in specific communication situations. The knowledge, skills and, more importantly, the critical-thinking mindset that I learned from the program has been essential to my career development, first at Philips and currently at BMW China as an HR and marketing professional. Communicating with different types of people is at the very core of my tasks. I was deeply impressed by the intelligence and professionalism of the program's teaching staff, not to mention the great quality of the study resources and facilities at our beautiful campus. The M.A. in Global Communication program at CUHK has been extremely beneficial to my life and career, and I am sure it will be for many others to come.
The M.A. in Global Communication provides various opportunities for students to explore their interests and personal strengths. It helped me to develop an analytical mind and it widened my horizon. I have learned how to look at global, social, and intercultural phenomena from different angles and perspectives. The experience also enabled me to seek professional excellence and advance my academic career. I really enjoyed the busy, challenging and yet fulfilling life in the School of Journalism and Communication at CUHK!
