When Urvi Bhandare decided to leave her native Mumbai to study for an MBA overseas, the 23-year-old management consultant's first instinct was to apply for one of the top US schools.
But Ms Bhandare was dissuaded from chasing her American dream by friends, who had done just that, only to return home after struggling to secure visa extensions or land a job. She turned instead to Canada, gaining a place on the MBA programme at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management.
"Canada, being as multicultural as it is, seemed welcoming and I could really picture myself enjoying working in this country," Ms Bhandare says.
Top business schools worldwide say they prize Indian applicants because they tend to be of good quality. Governments value Indian students from an economic point of view because they are a valuable source of skilled labour. University data show that Indians, more than any other nationalities, remain to work after graduation in the countries where they study.
Now, however, schools in the US and the UK, formerly two of the biggest beneficiaries of the Indian diaspora, are finding themselves overlooked because hundreds of Indian students are choosing to study in Canada instead.
Ms Bhandare chose her business school after President Donald Trump announced in 2015 his intention to run for US president, before he was nominated by the Republican party as its candidate. She feared his pledge to tighten immigration controls, including reforming the H-1B work visa for highly skilled foreign workers, would limit her options after graduation.

Canada's visa system allows MBA students to remain and work for up to three years after graduation whether or not they have a job at that time. The H-1B work visa in the US lasts for three years, but must be sponsored by an employer. President Trump has proposed raising the minimum wage companies must pay people with H-1B visas to encourage them to hire US citizens instead. The UK's post-study work visa, which allowed students from outside the EU to stay to work for up to two years after graduation, was scrapped in 2012.
Canadian institutions still struggle with a lack of brand recognition. There are no Canadian business schools in the FT's top 50 MBA ranking. Rotman is the highest listed at 65. Western University's Ivey and Queen's University's Smith School of Business are at 94 and 100 respectively. Nine of the top 15 schools are in the US. But the US government's toughened stance on immigration has changed the way Indian students feel about American schools, according to Matt Symonds, director of Fortuna Admissions, an MBA applicant adviser. Many of his Indian clients switched choices the day after the US presidential election.
Between January 2016 and the US election in November, 4 per cent of Indian students Mr Symonds advised were interested in Canadian business schools, chiefly Rotman, McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management in Montreal and University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. That proportion has since risen to 16 per cent.
Kunal Khosla has a bachelors degree in finance from Kelley Business School at Indiana University in the US, but has secured a place at Rotman for his MBA.
"The constant negative news with Donald Trump made me refrain from focusing on the US," he says.

Insead's one-year MBA programme maintains the number one spot
The Brexit vote in the UK has helped Canada's business schools at their UK peers' expense. The Graduate Management Admission Council, which runs the GMAT business school entrance exam, found Indians taking its test had been the most negatively influenced among overseas students by the UK's vote to leave the EU.
When asked about Brexit, 58 per cent of Indian test takers said it made them less likely to want to study in the UK compared with 49 per cent of those from Germany.
Higher education figures from the Canadian Bureau for International Education indicate that the country's attraction among Indian students had been building long before either Brexit or President Trump's election.
Indians overtook Nigerians as the fastest-growing overseas student group at Canadian universities in 2014, according to the CBIE.Last year saw a 28 per cent jump in the number of Indians arriving on Canadian campuses.
At Toronto-based York University's Schulich School of Business, about half the Indian-born members of the 2010 MBA cohort returned home after completing their degrees, but last year's class all stayed to find work locally, according to Dezsö Horváth, the dean.
"Everybody with an MBA can get a good salary when they graduate but they want interesting jobs in an attractive city," Mr Horváth adds.

If you dig the feminine aspects of fashion, chances are you love wearing skirts. Skirts are one of the most versatile clothing pieces ever created. While traditional skirts were made so long they almost dragged the ground, today�s skirts come in such a wide variety there are styles that flatter any body type. While some body types look better in specific skirt styles, there are a few skirt tips women of any body type can use when finding the most flattering skirt for them.
While the focus on finding great pants is more on cut, finding a flattering skirt rides greatly on length. Most designers agree if you are over the age of 35, mini skirts are just not fashionably appropriate any longer. While there are an abundance of beautiful women over that age, the matter is not focused only on what looks good but also what is age appropriate. You may look great in a short micro mini, but is it really fitting for your age? Think about it!
Things to stay away from if you want your legs to look great in skirts are pleats, ruffles and low waist varieties. Pleats and ruffles will only make you seem girlish, instead of classic or modern. While a low waist can work on pants, it can be difficult to pull off a low waist skirt because they can easily make you appear as if you have a flat backside and no waist, which is never a good thing.
Most women admit jeans are their favorite items of clothing! So, when it comes to skirts a denim fabric can be quite helpful and versatile. A dark washed denim skirt can be paired with heels, a button down, a nice jacket and scarf for a �business casual� look. The same skirt can then be worn to dinner or other semi-casual events. For a more laid back look, a lighter washed denim skirt can be paired with a trendy tee, tank or even a sweater and boots! You can find great denim skirts at every outlet, from Ann Taylor to Victoria�s Secret. Just remember, unless you�re going for the grunge look denim should never be torn or frayed.
One giant mistake full sized or any sized woman can easily make is to choose skirts of inappropriate cuts. The cut of a skirt isn�t quite as important as the cut of pants, but it should still be given attention. One of the best cuts in skirts is the a-line. Fashion experts agree an a-line skirt can help define the waist area, help hide the tummy, hips and thigh area and give an overall balance to various body shapes. Stay away from sarong style skirts, unless you are hitting the beach where sarong skirts can be quite appealing. However, in everyday life, they can cause unflattering effects on the tummy area and unless you want to draw attention to your stomach they should be avoided!
When looking for skirts, be aware of the materials and textures of the skirts. Don�t choose skirts that cling to your body. No matter what size or shape they are, you will not get a flattering look if they hug every curve and point out every imperfection! Be sure you�re wearing a skirt size that allows you the freedom to sit or stand without the fabric bunching up and becoming tight. Finding the right size in a skirt is more about waist fit than anything else. So, be sure you aren�t trying to squeeze into a smaller size just because you can. Finding a great overall look is much more important!

AEW Sells NJ Industrial Complex for $53M
A partnership bought the four-building asset in Pine Brook, N.J. The 530,000-square-foot property is 60 percent leased to tenants including Samsung Electronics and Pitney Bowes.
Corina Stef
19 Chapin Road, Pine Brook, N.J.
A joint venture between Camber Real Estate Partners and Advance Realty has acquired a four-building light industrial campus in Pine Brook, N.J. AEW Capital Management sold the assets for $52.9 million.
The buildings total 530,000 square feet and were built between 1998 and 2001. Amenities include 22-foot ceiling heights, 76 dock doors, 12 drive-in doors, new roofs and ample parking. Additionally, the assets are 60 percent occupied by seven tenants including Samsung Electronics, Pitney Bowes, Trane and Doosan.
Transit-oriented positioning
The complex spreads across 129.4 acres at 19 Chapin Road, and is minutes away from Route 46, two miles from the interchange of interstates 80 and 280 and two miles from Interstate 287. Both Port Newark–Elizabeth and Manhattan are less than 30 miles away.
HFF Senior Managing Director Jose Cruz, Managing Director Kevin O'Hearn, Senior Directors Michael Oliver and Stephen Simonelli, and Directors Marc Duval and Jordan Avanzato represented the seller in the transaction.
"19 Chapin's location, quality and future upside brought a significant amount of both institutional and private investor interest," Cruz said in a prepared statement. "We continue to see real appetite for high barriers-to-entry national markets like New Jersey."
According to public records, the complex previously changed hands in 2010, when AEW purchased it for $57.8 million.
The new owners also recently purchased a fully leased industrial building in Paterson, N.J.

My first week of school includes decorating, setting up centers, and putting final touches in my classroom. I enjoy setting up my classroom because of the design aspect. So, I thought that I would write about how I go about designing my room for TAB.
This year I am moving to a new room. It is exciting because it will be renovated next summer. The moving process was hectic. (The pictures are from some work I did today. YIKES!) I had to get rid of some old furniture and acquire furniture from other teachers. I will be sharing every part of this transformation so remember this is a work in progress. As I was moving furniture today, I was thinking about what type of consideration I need to make to make this room work.
Sink location will determine how to set up an art classroom. My room has one sink in the corner.
What to consider when designing an elementary TAB classroom?
When setting up a classroom, it is essential to think about what is permanently in the space. Are there sinks? Cabinets? Shelves? Anything that cannot be moved will definitely influence the design. The sink will be the key to the art room. I have one sink in this room. The painting and clay center will have to go near this area. I usually keep some other options on getting water for students in the clay center. (We can look at that later.) Once the sink and painting center are established, there are more choices to think about.
There are a few different types of storage to think about. Most of the supplies will be housed in each center, but I never put out too many items for elementary students. We will cover each one.
1) Supplies: Most of the supplies will be housed in each center, but I never put out too many items for elementary students. This room does not have a supply closet and only has two sets of cabinets. So, I think that I will keep a shelf in my desk area to hold extra supplies. This way I can easily get to it and it is off limits to students.
2) Student Projects: I have found that most k-2 students will complete art projects very quickly. So, I plan a small storage area from them. 3-5 students will get a bigger area to hold their projects. This is also a good time to think about storage for sketchbooks, journals, or portfolios.
This will be my desk area. The industrial shelf will be for the extra supplies. I will make it taller another time.
This wall is opposite from my desk. I am thinking that the white cabinets will be used as project storage. I want to add additional shelves to the top.
A teacher desk should face and see the whole classroom.
So far, I have planned the painting center and storage. I also had to plan out an area for my desk. I just picked a corner of the room that as a bit awkward shape to hold the extra supplies. A few rules that I like to talk about when setting up a teacher desk area. Always make sure that the desk is in a position that will face and see the whole classroom. I like to also have wall space to hang up schedules, emergency paper work, sub information, etc. It is nice to have a cabinet or drawer that will lock for purse and expensive items. Lastly, I think about a place for students to turn in WOW work. This year that will be located on the table with the painting on it.
Drawing and textile center can be very small, and I usually think of those last. My digital art center has grown over the past few years. That would be a good one to start with. I have some small gray tables to hold 6 Mac computers. I placed a shelf in the corner for iPads, stop motion props, etc. This areas is directly across from my desk.
Clay and sculpture center are next on the list. Clay will go into the corner of the room. Sculpture will be in the remaining brown cabinets. I like to have a lot of open room for the clay center. I will add some shelves in that corner later. It currently is storing classroom items for another teacher. Sculpture center will work great at the brown cabinets. I am considering removing the doors and adding buckets on the tops of the counters for the students to look for items.
Future Clay center will be in the left corner. Sculpture will be in the brown cabinets.
Drawing center will be on the white shelf near my desk. I am still thinking about collage center, and how to hold paper materials this year. I think this is a great start so far. I hope that this helps with other TAB room designs.
I missed something intentionally! That is the front of the room or whiteboard. Most of my students will have Chromebooks, so I am using a mobile TV for all of that. I am definitely in a smaller room. I need to be creative!
 This post is a part of The Art Ed Blogger's Network: Monthly Tips and Inspiration from Art Teacher Blogs. On the second Tuesday each month, each of these art teacher blogs will post their best ideas on the same topic.

Paul, Weiss is widely recognized as having one of the nation's preeminent securities litigation and regulatory practices. For two decades, our lawyers have guided global corporations and financial institutions through a series of "bet-the-company" securities-related crises, consistently reducing or eliminating their most damaging claims and negotiating favorable resolutions.
From the days of insider trading and corporate raiders in the 1980s, to the recent collapse of the subprime and auction-rate securities markets, Paul, Weiss has played a leading defensive role in nearly every high-profile securities matter of the modern era. In each instance, we have helped our clients respond to the fallout, mitigate crises and successfully resolve public and private litigations and government investigations.
We have experience handling virtually every kind of securities-related challenge, including:
Shareholder class actions
Suits by large institutional investors
Shareholder derivative suits
Complex parallel proceedings
Merger, acquisition and proxy contest-related actions
ERISA claims
Cases arising out of investment partnerships such as private funds
Investment arbitrations
Government enforcement actions
Securities opt-out claims
Our lawyers represent U.S. and non-U.S. clients in civil and criminal proceedings in state and federal courts across the United States, as well as in administrative proceedings and investigations by U.S. regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. We help issuers successfully navigate the labyrinth of litigation that can arise from public offerings of equity and debt, as well as from earnings disclosures, restatements and other adverse developments. We are also frequently tapped by underwriters in individual shareholder or class actions claiming liability for misstatements and omissions in registration statements and prospectuses, as well as individual board members and executive officers targeted in securities-related suits. Our vast expertise in defending lawsuits arising under virtually every provision of the relevant federal statutes, state statutory provisions and common law has allowed us to help shape precedent in this area.
The collective wisdom of our team is formidable. The practice boasts a deep bench of experts, including many former federal prosecutors who have invaluable experience in dealing with U.S. Attorney offices, the U.S. Department of Justice and state prosecutors. Notably, our team includes the former deputy chief of the Fraud Section of the DOJ's Criminal Division, two former chiefs of the Criminal Division of the New York U.S. Attorney's Office, two former deputy directors of the SEC's Enforcement Division, the former Deputy General Counsel of the U.S. Treasury Department, a former counsel of two SEC chairs and a former Vice Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery. Many other lawyers have devoted their careers to the defense of securities litigations in state and federal court and before regulatory bodies.
In representing non-U.S. clients, we offer not only knowledge of the legal issues unique to foreign entities and individuals, but also a sure hand in leading them through the unfamiliar landscape of the U.S. legal and regulatory system. We have deep experience navigating increasingly frequent cross-border crisis situations for our clients, where U.S. securities litigation is often accompanied by other litigation, insolvency or regulatory matters abroad, and managing the complex interplay among them.
Our clients benefit from our deep experience at all stages of the litigation process, including motions to dismiss, class certification, summary judgment, settlements, trials and appeals, as well as before domestic and international investment arbitration bodies. We defend clients in lawsuits arising under federal and state securities laws, as well as litigating securities-related issues arising under other statutory schemes, including ERISA and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Our practice is differentiated because not only do we have unparalleled subject matter expertise, but we try cases, including securities cases, and win them. Our team includes litigators who are widely recognized as some of the finest trial lawyers in the country. Clients and adversaries know that we are prepared to take cases to trial and that we know how to win, which gives us a tremendous advantage both in the courtroom and at the settlement table. In fact, we have successfully taken numerous multi-billion dollar cases to verdict in recent years, collectively reducing our clients' liability by scores of billions of dollars. Because of our record of achievement, we are often pulled into litigation after a class has been certified and a matter is headed for trial.
At the outset of each new matter, we engage in comprehensive strategic planning with our clients to manage their risk and exposure and to tailor our strategy to the matter's unique facts, drawing on our institutional knowledge of the securities laws and precedent. Because we leverage our past work so efficiently, we are a highly cost-effective choice of counsel.
Securities Regulatory Matters
Recent years have brought ever-heightened regulatory scrutiny and enforcement in the securities area. We have vast experience before all of the regulatory agencies and entities that clients are likely to face. Our lawyers frequently appear at the SEC; before the U.S. Congress, self-regulatory organizations and independent commissions; and in state Attorney General offices from New York to California, representing clients in civil investigations and administrative proceedings. Both because of our team's experience working in government, and our frequent appearance before key regulators, we bring both credibility and expertise to our client's toughest regulatory challenges. We have a proven track record, using creative strategies, of persuading regulators not to pursue actions against our clients where it is not warranted. Just as important, regulators know that when necessary, we also have the expertise to represent our clients at trial. And we are particularly adept at helping clients navigate inquiries from multiple regulators.
Our clients also look to us to conduct sensitive internal investigations. We have handled investigations into issues from alleged accounting irregularities and deficiencies in internal controls, to tax reporting and related-party transactions, to suspicious trading activities and misappropriation of assets. These types of investigations often raise challenging questions of corporate governance, an area where we are acknowledged experts. We regularly represent boards of directors in advising them on how to exercise their duties in the context of securities-related and other issues. We also regularly offer proactive business counsel and comprehensive strategic advice on managing securities regulatory and litigation risk.

TEMPLE AND TOMB
Prehistoric Malta, 3600-2500 BCE
March 21 - July 7, 2013
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 11am-6pm, Friday 11am-8pm, Closed Monday
FREE Guided Tour, Fridays 6pm and Saturdays 12:30pm
Located between southern Italy and the northern coast of Africa, the Maltese archipelago was home to an astonishing and artistically rich prehistoric culture. During the later Temple Period (ca. 3600–2500 bce), the early Maltese constructed extraordinary megalithic complexes to house cultic and funerary rituals, and produced an outstanding range of aesthetically refined representations of the human form, the variety of which is unmatched in contemporary cultures. Temple and Tomb marks the first time that these objects have come to the United States, with the exhibition including sculptures in stone and clay, decorative architectural reliefs, and historic drawings, watercolors, and photographs. Together, they tell the story of a flourishing prehistoric culture whose architectural and aesthetic achievements remain largely unknown to an American audience.

Have Rangers' Summer Signings Lived Up To Expectations?
Rangers had a busy summer, bringing in no less than 11 new signings to strengthen their squad for the 2017/18 campaign. The additions have led to a slight improvement in performance, as discussed in this recent post.
But with the international break upon us, now seems like an appropriate time to analyse each of the recent arrivals. Pedro Caixinha's men have played eight Scottish Premiership games, offering the players plenty of time to showcase their abilities and prove their worth to the side.
Here we assess the summer signings based on their performances so far, their tactical suitability, their potential and their value for money.
1 BRUNO ALVES – FREE
2 DANIEL CANDEIAS – £0.7 MILLION
3 FÁBIO CARDOSO – £1.4 MILLION
4 DÁLCIO – LOAN
5 GRAHAM DORRANS – £1.4 MILLION
6 EDUARDO HERRERA – £1.5 MILLION
7 RYAN JACK – FREE
8 DECLAN JOHN – LOAN
9 ALFREDO MORELOS – £1.1 MILLION
10 AARON NEMANE – LOAN
11 CARLOS PENA – £2.7 MILLION
BRUNO ALVES – FREE
An experienced Portugal international who has played in some of Europe's best leagues, Alves was seen as the man to shore up Rangers' back line. Despite being 35 years of age, his powerful stature, aerial dominance and maturity were seen as key traits.
Despite a recent injury, the former Cagliari centre-back has been solid if unspectacular, which is all that was truly required from him.
His absence was felt in the Old Firm defeat to Celtic at Ibrox and his return to fitness is vital to the team's ambitions this term.
DANIEL CANDEIAS – £0.7 MILLION
Of all the transfer fees paid to sign players, the £0.7million outlay for Candeias was Rangers' smallest of the summer window. However, the 29-year-old winger has looked every bit the bargain since joining the Scottish giants.
The Portuguese has provided the sort of pace, incision and creativity that would otherwise have been lacking following the sale of Barrie McKay, and his verve down the right flank is a real attacking threat.
He scored his first league goal for the club in the recent 4-1 win over Hamilton Academical and his celebration – running straight to Caixinha – was an indication of how important he is to the manager.
FÁBIO CARDOSO – £1.4 MILLION
Cardoso was brought in to form an all-Portuguese centre-back partnership along with Alves at the heart of the Rangers defence, and so far he hasn't disappointed in that respect.
He is one of only four new signings to start every single one of the team's Scottish Premiership games so far.
At 23 years of age, he is still adjusting to life outside of his home country, but has shown enough to suggest that, with time, he can grow into an important player. Considering his upside, the £1.4million paid to sign him doesn't appear much of a risk.
DÁLCIO – LOAN
Of the four Portuguese summer imports, Dálcio has undoubtedly been the least influential. The 21-year-old winger joined on a season-long loan from Benfica, but has yet to start a single league game and has only made two substitute appearances.
While he showed glimpses of skill and creativity at youth and 'B' team level in his home country, he has yet to display what is necessary to bookmark a starting spot at Rangers.
GRAHAM DORRANS – £1.4 MILLION
Rangers' pursuit of Dorrans was an epic summer saga, one that eventually culminated in the club getting their man for a reasonable fee.
A fan of the team since childhood, the former Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion midfielder has significantly bolstered Caixinha's midfield.
The 30-year-old is a wise head in the centre of the pitch, providing astute passing over short and long distances. He also has the energy and stamina to get box-to-box for full matches.
All of this led to him being handed the captaincy in Kenny Miller's absence recently.
Dorrans has started all eight of Rangers league matches up to this point, and has been productive going forward. He has averaged 0.5 goals per game – an exceptional record for a central midfielder, even if it is early days in the season – and also has two assists to his name.
EDUARDO HERRERA – £1.5 MILLION
A 28-year-old target man with an average goals record and no experience of football outside of his native Mexico, there were question marks over the £1.5million fee paid to sign Herrera. And, on the evidence so far, those question marks appear valid.
The striker has started just one league game so far, and while he scored in that very game, he has not made a concerted impact on the team since. He is strong in the air, but has generally been outshone by top-scorer Alfredo Morelos.
In order to justify the fee paid to sign Herrera, Caixinha must find a way to get the best out of his unique strengths, namely good aerial ability and decent hold-up play.
RYAN JACK – FREE
Jack wasn't universally loved at Aberdeen despite his presence in and around the first team for seven years, so it has been surprising to see just how well he has fitted in at Rangers.
Playing in central midfield alongside Dorrans, he has brought defensive nous and efficient distribution to the team.
The 25-year-old, pictured above left, may not be the most extravagant of players in his position, but he is functional and lays the groundwork with his reading of the game and simplistic passing.
Jack has started every single one of Rangers' league matches this term, though one worry will be that he has received two red cards in that period. However, one of those was successfully appealed, and the other was for two bookable offences as opposed to anything overtly malicious.
An aggressive presence in midfield who keeps things simple, many now believe the player deserves to be a part of Gordon Strachan's Scottish national team. Having made such a fast start to life at Ibrox, his free transfer looks set to prove a steal.
DECLAN JOHN – LOAN
With club captain Lee Wallace out through injury of late, John has stepped in on the left side of Caixinha's back four and has immediately staked a claim to be handed the berth on a regular basis.
The Welshman, who arrived on loan from Cardiff City, scored twice in the win over Hamilton and also provided an assist in the 2-2 draw at Partick Thistle. He possesses a refined left foot and a desire to push on, making him an asset for Rangers in and around the final third.
Wallace is an experienced member of the squad and will not be dislodged easily, but if John keeps up his good form it will be difficult to ignore him.
Then, should his contract with the Bluebirds expire next summer, the Scottish club may look to make his loan deal a permanent one.
ALFREDO MORELOS – £1.1 MILLION
Morelos has been the star of the show for Rangers so far this season. The Colombian arrived from Finnish club HJK Helsinki, but has adapted quickly to the Scottish game. With six goals in eight league fixtures, he has averaged an impressive strike rate of one goal every 98 minutes.
Scoring was a problem for the Ibrox side last term. They only hit one more than fifth-placed Heart of Midlothian and six more than fourth-placed St Johnstone; Celtic and Aberdeen hit 50 and 18 more respectively.
Meanwhile, Miller was the team's highest league scorer with a mere 11 to his name. No other player hit double figures.
Herrera was seen as the obvious solution to the problem – he was more experienced, had played at a higher level and seemed more connected to Caixinha from their time together at Santos Laguna. However, Morelos has proven to be the most effective out of the two striking additions.
He has displayed an excellent all-round game, dropping deep defensively to help the team and also in attack to knit moves together. He also possesses a turn of pace, surprising strength and a knack for finishing chances.
Considering those attributes, as well as the fact he is still just 21 years of age, his value will only increase. With Aston Villa reportedly monitoring the player, the aim for Rangers now must be to keep hold of him and make the most of his talent, rather than sell him on for a quick profit.
AARON NEMANE – LOAN
Nemane, along with fellow loan signing Dálcio, has failed to make an impression on the first team since signing for Rangers on a temporary basis. So far the Manchester City youth teamer has made just two outings in Scotland, obtaining a miserly total of ten minutes' game time.
With competition down the flanks coming from Candeias, Josh Windass and Niko Kranjčar, the young Englishman may find it difficult to get his breakthrough.
CARLOS PENA – £2.7 MILLION
Pena was Rangers' most expensive signing of the summer by quite some distance. Indeed, his £2.7million fee meant he cost almost as much as Dorrans and Cardoso combined. He had the pedigree to back up the price tag, however, having represented Mexico at the 2014 World Cup.
Unfortunately, the Mexican has not yet been able to establish himself in the starting line-up. With Caixinha preferring a central midfield two and Dorrans and Jack playing so well together, he has often had to make do with a place on the substitutes' bench.
There remain valid concerns over whether he will be able to change the situation.
In his two starts he hasn't shown the quality, on or off the ball, to suggest the deal to sign him was worthwhile. And, at 27 years of age, he doesn't have a great deal of potential left to fulfil.

This is a true, gripping account of a murder investigation of a young African American boy, Bryant Tennelle, who also happens to be the son of an LAPD detective. In the Ghettoside section of Los Angeles, young African American men are murdered at a high rate without any real effort to solve the crimes. This book describes the challenges facing the families who are victims of these crimes and the obstacles police face in trying to solve the cases. The work of John Skaggs, a detective who believes that every victim is "some daddy's baby" and deserves to have their murders given a proper investigation is featured prominently. If you like true crime police investigations, this is a quick page-turner.

A Beginner's Guide to the International Baccalaureate Program | Let's win college.
After two years, I can proudly call my myself a graduate of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program! I'm specifying the whole form of the acronym because there was literally a kid at our school who thought IB stood for International Board.
Personally, I grew up in India, where the education system is such that children specialize in their fields at 16, and of these there are just three: commerce, arts, and science. India's highly documented focus on academics is worse from the inside, and the pressure was terrible.
Anyway, when I heard of the IB, which gave me flexibility in choosing all my subjects, I jumped at the opportunity. I realize that this will not be the reason for many to choose the IB. The most common reason to enter this program is when a student is looking for a rigorous program to add to his repertoire of high school courses to be the most competitive applicant for colleges that they can. This 'one size fits all' approach is very flawed, and the IB is not meant for everyone.
A huge misconception that people have about the IB is that the students who enter it are academic 'nerds'. While academic strength is important to succeed, this is the case with doing well in any academic setting. Personally, I entered the program from a background in the Indian national board, in which I was somewhere above average, but coming to the IB upped my academic reports. Doing well in the IB isn't related to the number of hours dedicated (though those are a lot). It's about a student being open to learning about new ways of approaching a topic, so in time seeing the topic in several different ways becomes second nature. The person who truly masters this will never be able to watch a movie peacefully without some part of his subconscious analyzing it (thus ruining us for the promised land of college and its tales of Netflix).
So about the system, the basics go thusly: you pick one subject from the six pre-determined groups of English, foreign languages, humanities, sciences, math and the arts, which are known as groups 1 through 6 in that order. You have the option of picking another subject from group 3 or 4 (humanities or sciences) in place of a group 6 subject (arts). English, math and one foreign language are mandatory, but can be taken at any level.
This brings us to the levels in the subjects offered. A candidate can take a subject at either standard level or higher level. A course taken at standard level indicates 150 hours of classroom teaching over the 18 months of the IB Diploma. It prepares students up to the normal high school level, albeit with the IB twist of self-studying and 3000 word labs (in environmental sciences). A high level course entails 240 hours of teaching, a larger syllabus, and heavier assignments. These will typically align with your interests and eventually your major. Most colleges only offer credit for higher level courses. There are even lower levels in certain subjects, such as the Studies level in math for students who will be entering fields such as media and art, so they will not be held back by lower math scores or have to waste time studying a subject which they will not require in college. In foreign languages, students who do not score a certain level on their GCSEs or wish to study a new language altogether can take the ab initio level, which is offered in several languages including Spanish, French, and German. This system is useful for students who do not have much interest in a subject, but still need to take it to adhere to the IB's wide syllabi.
The subjects, however, are only the peripheral to the trifecta of CAS, EE, and TOK that form the core curriculum. Before you panic about these abbreviations I threw at you, know that these are the single most important part of the curricula. Non-submission of even one of these crucial parts will mean that you will not receive a diploma and will be a certificate student instead. While the IB does not have a pass/fail system, getting a certificate is the closest thing to failing. There are a specific set of rules as to the combination of marks you have to get, but the general rule of thumb is that you have to submit all the components and get 24 grade points.
The marking system is slightly complicated to hear from the first time, but it is actually clear-cut. Each subject counts for 7 grade points with 1 being the lowest and 7 being the highest, the total of which comes to 6*7=42 grade points. There remaining three points are for the core components of the extended essay and theory of knowledge (I'll come to that in a minute). So the final score is out of 42+3=45 grade points. Easy as that.
The next part is TOK (Theory of Knowledge), which, to be frank, will at first not make any sense. But from the testimony of several students at our school during graduation, we've come to the conclusion that TOK ties up all our knowledge at the end of the program. It teaches us how to think, to question perspectives and paradigms, and to write a Malcolm Gladwell-esque essay of 1500-words (which is actually something that will become the norm for you at the end of the program). There is also a presentation that will be recorded, so people with stage fright (hello, kindred spirits!) will be more than cured of it by the time that the IB is done with. This is a beginner's guide, and the advanced one would tell you that you have to give presentations (note the plural) in English and your foreign language, and one of the English parts is unseen.
The EE and the TOK markings combine to form the 3-point matrix shown here. They are not graded on a numerical scale, but an alphabetical one. While these may seem like small fry in the grand scheme of things, these 3 points may be the difference between a 39 and a 42.
The final component is CAS, which stands for 'Creativity, Action, Service.' Some say that this is the IBO's attempt at covering the entire experience of life under the program. I say that this is yet another example of the IB's organization skills. 50 hours of each must be completed, with creativity meaning activities such as writing and editing for the school yearbook or newspaper; action referring to sports, and service obviously being community service. This is an excellent way of filling up college applications, so if your freshman and sophomore years have been lackluster in terms of extracurriculars, you should consider doing the IB (though the lack of initiative doesn't bode well). At the end of IB, a CAS report will need to be formulated, so again we see the need for organization. Incompletion of the required 150 hours will mean that your diploma will be withheld. I know of a senior who went back to school to get his diploma because he hadn't done his community service because he was so busy studying. Doesn't that defeat the purpose, seeing as he went to college a year late?
With the technical parts out of the way, I return to my stance that the IB is not meant for everyone. They seem simple when you read through them, but these are two years of your life that can be more of a transformative process than college for some. It is not something you can "win" overnight.
Universities don't just like the IB because it suggests academic rigor. They like it because it shows that the candidate has time management skills, organization, an inquisitive mind, and perseverance. Ultimately, colleges want to see that you succeed in your academic setting, so if you have no chance of doing well in the IB, stick to your normal course load and do well there.
Bless you for not falling into pits of the Indian system and only to climb out without learning anything.
Thanks for an excellent summation of the IB!


6am Saturday morning, it's still dark here in the shadow of the Sierra Maestra mountains, but our group of eight is gathered on time at the hotel for the mini bus I got to take us to Guadalavaca Beach. It's about a three hour drive on a very bumpy pot holed road up through the mountains and across Holguin Province to the seashore. We each had a day pass at the Breezes Guadalavaca Hotel so we had full run of the place including the snack bar, buffet and bars. There was Josefa and Luis, I've mentioned them before. I have often stayed at their home and they are like an extended family to me. Of course I invited the big three professors working with me now on the Cuban School Project [CSP] initiatives through Oriente University; Jose Luis, Marta, and Guillermo. Guillermo's wife was invited along and we brought José's eight year old grandson Ernesto [he's named after Che] too.
I paid for the trip, just to thank them for all they have done and to build upon our team spirit as part of the CSP. They wouldn't be able to afford it themselves, which is ironic because if they taught in Canada, they would be earning a lot more than me. It was a real pleasure, and they seemed quite happy. I think they liked the buffet best. It was quite excellent even by Canadian standards and the endless helpings quite enticing when like them you are depending on rations a lot of the time. It was too hot on the beach for Josefa and Luis, who are getting on in years, but they enjoyed the breeze up in the shaded area by the snack and drinks bar. The rest came down to the far end of the beach with me where we found some lounge chairs under a sprawling tree. I took off snorkelling for about two hours, and then rendezvoused with them back with Josefa and Luis imbibing and having fun.
It was a vigorous dive. I had to swim out about 200 meters past an underwater field of sea grass to reach a very nice coral garden. It was quite magnificent and I counted up to six different types, plus scores of colourful sea fans gently swaying with the light current. The water was warm and quite still. The sun was beating down overhead, making for a perfect summer day. I swam down along the coastline a ways until making landfall on a deserted white sand beach where I just lay a bit and rested, basking in the sun, the water lapping up against me. I was in sheer bliss.
On my way back I swam along a rock escarpment for awhile. There were millions of minnows, little tiny silver streaks everywhere, I've never seen so many before. It was quite incredible! Other fish were swimming in to feed on them; nature was just taking its course. Back further out to sea I followed a school of Blue Tang and saw a fair number of smaller very colourful tropical fish. The Mexican Mayan Riviera really outdid Guadalavaca in the fish department, but the coral and sea fans here were very well worth the snorkel dive!
I landed near the main section of the resort beach and joined up with the others. We visited a statue of John Lennon in the resort garden and took pictures. Apparently it's a mecca now where once a week folks meet to sing and read poems. There is another such Beatle shrine in Habana too. Now in Cuba there are also many Beatle themed bars where Cuban musicians come to play Beatle music and the Castro brothers have even given the band the official stamp of approval. Beatlemania is in full swing here!
There's a rumour Paul McCartney has been invited to come play a concert in Cuba and has so far been non-committal, perhaps because of the US embargo? It's a little known fact that he has visited Santiago de Cuba unofficially and unannounced some time ago. He visited Moro Castillo and had dinner at the restaurant looking out to sea. His chair is now also much honoured and has an autographed plaque on it. I've got pictures of Jose, Guillermo and myself at the Santiago and in Guadalavaca sites which I will post.
Paul McCartney also attended an afternoon performance at the Casa de Trova. He didn't play and didn't want his picture taken either though a few enterprising Cubanos hiding in the clothes racks at the Trova gift shop, managed to get them anyway. I believe there is also another of him outside the Casa de Trova walking down Heredia Calle/ street.
Anyway, we relaxed in the shade for an hour or two until five pm rolled around and it was time to drive back to Santiago de Cuba. The gang sat in the back of the bus singing Beatle songs. I joined in then got lost in the splendour of sitting up front in the bus and just watching the majestic countryside roll by. The rolling farm fields and roadside stands selling vegetables and fresh fruit are very picturesque. The Cuban Campaneros [farm people] were riding along the highway on horseback and in, bikes, the odd motorcycle and old beaten up vintage American car from the 1950's. Many of their simple country homes still have thatched roofs. It was incredibly rustic, an era gone by back home in Canada where farming is more so big business I fear than anything else.
So here I am back at the hotel ready for a good nights sleep.
I slept in a bit after doing my packing last night. I usually leave a lot of stuff here if my colleagues and friends can use it; toiletries, clothes and medicine. Before breakfast I did the last of my banking. The teachers will come over tonight. Jose Luis is the CSP's managing director here. He will have costed a few of the projects we've discussed. Then I will leave the current donations with him to distribute as planned. I'm keen to get as much up and running, and to keep building on our success, so it takes some careful planning, and of course accountability. I am very satisfied and pleased with our results to date.
This afternoon I invited the Guardiolas to the hotel for the pool and lunch. The Toronto Friendship School is on the roof of their house and they manage it for us, aside from the teaching part. I have stayed many times at their home or in the little teacher's room behind the classroom since the 1990's. They long ago welcomed me into their family and I wanted to thank them on a personal note. From a CSP perspective. I am getting the new set of workbooks and some other materials to enhance the school programs as per my discussions with the teacher and students. A computer would be very useful. Of course a lot will depend on getting on funding for this and any future projects and I will really have to get working on that early this school year.
The Guardiolas have never been inside the Melia Santiago Hotel before, even though they have lived in Santiago all their lives. The ten CUC cover charge for the pool, not to mention the price of lunch and drinks would be way beyond their means, even though overall it's a pretty good deal if you are a tourist. Grand Papa Guardiola was hesitant to come. He was adamant he couldn't because of his heart and the heat, but I think he's enjoyed it the most.
Little Cari, who I knew as a small child, has grown up to be a beautiful senorita and is here now as a young adult with her mama. It is cute how they hold hands as they walked in, Cari trying to look very international, a real Cuban beauty. Her mama is just happy to be here and make sure nothing happens to her. You hear lot's of stories about young Cuban jinetera [prostitutes] but there is another side to life here in Cuba. It is also a very Catholic country, with strong family values.
I fly back to Toronto tomorrow, and will no doubt have more pictures and photos to share.
Good Bye to Jack Layton -A Great Canadian!

Ain't I A Woman?
Caster Semenya is an elite athlete hailing from South Africa who is a two-time Olympic medalist and on May 3rd logged her 30th consecutive 800m victory in 1min 54.98sec — the third-fastest of her career and the eighth-quickest outdoors of all time.
In the same week, the IAAF ruled that female athletes who have levels of testosterone that exceed the "normal" limits for women (anything above 10 nmols/liter) will have to chemically suppress their testosterone levels below five nmols/liter in order to compete. It's important to note that these figures are arbitrary; there is no scientific research that backs up any claim of "normal."
If I can quote Trevor Noah, this is some bullshit. This ruling is misogynistic, transphobic, and racist.
We celebrate athletes like Michael Phelps for their biological gifts that allow them to be the strongest, the fastest, the best at what they do. And we punish women because we live in a world that tells us you have to fit inside the box. TIME TO BLOW UP THE FUCKING BOX. 💣💣
Natural advantages are exactly what makes certain people elite athletes. Phelps has a disproportionately vast wingspan, his double-jointed ankles give his kick unusual range, and he produces just half the lactic acid of a typical athlete. And we love him like he's the last man on earth. Semenya is a woman who has hyperandrogenism, a condition that naturally increases testosterone levels. And we shame her, degrade her, strip her of her accomplishments.
Furthermore, this policy is based on weak "science." There is no research that definitely proves that natural testosterone improves performance. Three different researchers failed to reproduce the results on their own, so they asked that the data set be released. When that happened, the scientists found what they called a "pervasiveness of problematic data" because there were so many errors in it, and called for the study to be retracted immediately. The World Medical Association also has told doctors not to use the IAAF rules, due to their basis on "weak evidence" as well as running contrary to "WMA ethical statements and declarations." The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports, which directs Canada's anti-doping program, the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sports and AthletesCAN, the association of Canadian national team athletes, have condemned the decision. Athletics Canada has said it won't implement the policy in Canada. The UN Human Rights group wrote the IAAF urging it to cancel the policy.
While some of Semenya's competitors are responsible for the "confusion" over her being wrongly identified as trans and the ultimate invasive testing that led to this decision, here's what Madeleine Pope, one of her competitors had to say about the ruling: "I encountered the vast literature written by advocates of women's sport who oppose the exclusion of women athletes with naturally high testosterone for both scientific and ethical reasons: scientifically, because biological sex and athletic ability are both far too complex for scientists to reduce to measures of testosterone, and ethically, because these regulatory efforts have always been characterised by considerable harm to the women athletes singled out for testing."
So what can you do about it? The next time someone attempts to "set the record straight" by citing her level of testosterone or the fact that she wasn't born with XX chromosomes, you can recite this email, forward them the links, and then tell them to Google it cause you don't have the spoons or the time to engage in a conversation that is inherently racist, misogynist, transphobic, and based on faulty science. You can also Tweet at Nancy Hogshead-Makar who is using her massive platform to spread dangerous thinking about the issue.

Manufacturer's warranty still good on third party purchases?
I'm looking to buy a Note 8 on Swappa and am new to buying phones from third parties. The price on used mint condition and even some "new unopened" Notes makes it possible to consider finally owning one. The worry I have is if I buy this phone from Swappa, Ebay, Craigslist, etc. I'm taking a big chance on peace of mind knowing that I can get it fixed from Samsung or even Tmo, my carrier. So my question is this: Does the remaining warranty life still apply to a third person buyer or once the phone changes hands from the original purchaser to someone else, that warranty coverage is gone and you basically have no warranty coverage?
Technically speaking, you'd have no warranty.
1. This warranty is confined to the first purchaser of the product only.
Of course, you could always still try to get a defect claimed under warranty. I wouldn't expect them to honor it, and the worse they could say is no anyway.
I'll sell my note 8 to you.
Verizon has enforced the original purchaser rule. Original receipt means nothing, they track the IMEI number.
On my s8, why my notifications disappear after I open the phone?

Defy nature and the aging process; restore your energy levels, increase immune function; improve your skin elasticity; remove wrinkles and more by supplementing with Human Growth Hormone by Pro Fight Supplements. You'll soon feel like your 21 again!
Growth Hormone is important for a number of reasons which range from maintaining tone and skin elasticity and memory retention to cardiac function. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body; however it starts decreasing at about age 30 which results in the inevitable gradual display of age in our skin, physical performance, mental capacity and internal organ function. But through the miracle of technology, we can now supplement our body's dwindling supply of growth hormone and restore our overall body performance and appearance to peak levels.
HGF works by safely increasing your own body's growth hormone secretion. This powerful complex is designed so that both men and women can slow down and in many cases reverse the aging process.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: Purified water, Lecithin, Phospholipids, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Maltodextrin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Natural and Artificial Flavors.
As a dietary supplement, shake well before using and spray 2 full sprays under your tongue in the morning and 4 full sprays under tongue and hold it for 20 seconds then swallow.


Romesco sauce has its roots in the Spanish province of Catalonia. Although the mixture has lots of variations, most combine roasted red peppers, nuts, garlic, and crusty bread to make a thick sauce that often tops grilled fish.
If using wood skewers, soak in cold water at least 30 minutes before using. In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine chicken, cilantro, 3 tbsp. olive oil, lime juice, 2 tsp. garlic, salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. Toss to coat, then marinate, chilled, 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, put roasted peppers, nuts, bread, vinegar, remaining 1 tbsp. minced garlic, and 1/4 cup olive oil in food processor and whirl until puréed; sauce will be thick.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above cooking grate only 3 to 4 seconds). Thread chicken onto skewers, discarding marinade. Drizzle green onions with remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil. Lay skewers on grill (cover if using gas) and cook 4 minutes. Turn skewers over, then lay green onions on grill. Cook 4 minutes, until chicken is browned and cooked through and onions are charred in places. Serve hot, accompanied by sauce.
Smoked Spanish paprika, also known as pimenton, is available in the spice aisles of many grocery stores.
This is the recipe my boys ask for when they come home. And now two of them have asked for the recipe. The oldest makes it for his friends quite often, and he and his younger brother made it for the entire family at our reunion this summer. Now the younger brother is asking for the recipe! We double the Romesco sauce, and hope we'll have enough for leftovers, or to use with fish another meal.
The marinade itself was outstanding and then the romesco sauce put it over the top. The hubby is often skeptical of anything that's not in the usual rotation, but he devoured this! Kebabs are sometimes a letdown because they can be dry and boring but these were neither.
"Do I have to eat what Dal's cooking for dinner?" the six-year-old munchkin whined as we headed to the dojo while my husband prepared dinner. "I know I won't like it." "You've never had it before; you don't know that you won't like it." After he ate more than some of the adults at the table, (dang, no leftovers) he deemed it better than pizza. Fantastic recipe.
One of my favorite kabab recipes on myrecipes.com. The spanish paprika really gives it a wonderfully distinctive flavor. The Romesco sauce is great too. I sometimes make it just to use as a dip for pita and vegetables.
My entire family LOVES this recipe, even finicky little ones - I've been making it for 5 years now, mostly in the summer. The kids don't have to eat the Romesco sauce if they don't like it, and you'll hope they don't so that you can have extra. It's so yummy and easy to make. Pair with a salad or fresh green beans and you have the perfect summer dish!


Bathrooms can be rather small and cumbersome, with required fittings, however there's all the time room for good design. Nonetheless, altering the look of a tub by changing a few key features can dramatically alter its appearance. For those who do resolve to replace or renovate an current bathtub or bathtub encompass, plan to price range accordingly. I just had my rest room transformed to the cost of $14,000. These could also be good product options if you happen to're looking for to install a new shower in an area equivalent to a basement, as the one-piece configuration might minimize down on time spent preparing the installation site or replumbing present drain or provide lines.
Explore our Rest room Guides for extra bathroom ideas and projects. A wall-to-wall self-importance overwhelms the small house. Whereas tearing down a wall to add a bathe, the householders determined to update the tile with a white model that reflects gentle in the room, making the house seem larger. If you have a smaller rest room, you possibly can add multiple mirrors to convey the illusion of more room.
Soaking or backyard tubs are deeper than standard bathtubs, permitting the bather to immerse almost fully within the water. Altering the format: For those who decide to increase the sq. footage of the small rest room, it can increase the whole cost of the remodel. Designer Rebecca Zajac prettifies the room by replacing the cabinets with a customized self-importance and laying down patterned ground tiles.
Should you plan on transferring out of your property in the next 5 to seven years, a modest challenge that updates that loo for mainstream tastes could also be a greater option. A bathroom is the proper place to get just a little daring in your design decisions. Lighting fixtures are likely to carry out the identical throughout most worth points—it is the high design that prices extra.
A vibrant aqua tiled tub takes over on this downstairs bathroom, while the white bathe curtain cuts up the room, making it seem smaller. For those who can keep the toilet, shower, and sink where they're, you'll save significantly on the project," says Petrie. Fixtures and home equipment: For those who change any of your present fixtures and appliances within the rest room-counter tops, bathtub, toilet, sink, and so forth.-this may improve the associated fee because the professionals will need to take away the originals and install the new ones.
