Fifteen international scholars participated in a two-day workshop sponsored by the Global Forum on Urban and Regional Resilience and held in in the National Capital Region.
Are we at risk for everything? Do we now accept danger as simply inevitable?
Rebecca Hester, assistant professor in the Department of Science and Technology in Society, has done research suggesting that may be the case.
"It seems that we have gone from the idea of securing our freedom from danger to having accepted that danger exists and we need to prepare for it. We are in a perpetual state of emergency," she said.
Hester was one of 15 international scholars who participated in a recent two-day workshop, "Risk, Fear, and Resilience: Implications for Societies, Communities, and Individuals," sponsored by the Global Forum on Urban and Regional Resilience at Virginia Tech.
The group that gathered at the Virginia Tech Research Center -- Arlington represented the fields of neuroscience, the social sciences, and political science.
Genetics, early life trauma during critical periods of brain development, and how close one actually comes to a risky or dangerous situation are just a few factors that can influence an individual's propensity toward anxiety and fear.
"No two people are really alike. When encountered with the same stress factors, one individual might develop vulnerabilities, like depression and anxiety, while another becomes resilient," said Sarah Clinton, associate professor in the School of Neuroscience at Virginia Tech.
The workshop attendees also explored the idea that people are often taught to be afraid of certain things. Christine Bachrach, a research professor in sociology at the University of Maryland, pointed out that certain groups in our society profit from fear. These include political groups, especially those based in nationalism or racism.
Fear is often fueled by social and political forces, the group agreed, but being able to distinguish between the possibility and probability of a risk or danger can help alleviate fear and anxiety.
The parenting culture of fear was also discussed.
"Parents play a critical role in contributing to larger cultural notions of fear," said Bachrach. "They serve as mediators, helping children learn what is dangerous and what is not."
Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent, United Kingdom, social commentator and author, said that a rise in fear and anxiety has had an effect on child rearing. Out of fear parents now are trying to control all aspects of their children's lives.
Bohland; Hester; Jennifer Lawrence, postdoctoral research associate at the Global Forum; and Mark Orr, research associate professor at the Biocomplexity Institute at Virginia Tech, convened the Risk, Fear, and Resilience Workshop.
François Debrix, a professor in Virginia Tech's Department of Political Science and director of the Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought, also participated in the workshop, which was supported by the Institute for Society, Culture, and Environment and the Office of the Vice President in the National Capital Region.

How many collision and broadcast domains are present on a 24-port router?
1 collision domain, 1 broadcast domain
1 collision domain, 24 broadcast domains
24 collision domains, 24 broadcast domains
24 collision domains, 1 broadcast domain
A router separates both collision and broadcast domains. This means each port will represent it's own domains. Because there are 24 ports, there are 24 broadcast and 24 collision domains.
A collision domain is a network segment connected by a shared medium or through repeaters where simultaneous data transmissions collide with one another. The collision domain applies particularly in wireless networks, but also affected early versions of Ethernet. A network collision occurs when more than one device attempts to send a packet on a network segment at the same time. Members of a collision domain may be involved in collisions with one another. Devices outside the collision domain do not have collisions with those inside. A channel access method dictates that only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network and refrain from transmitting while others are already transmitting in order to avoid collisions. Because only one device may be transmitting at any one time, total network bandwidth is shared among all devices on the collision domain. Collisions also decrease network efficiency on a collision domain as collisions require devices to abort transmission and retransmit at a later time. Since data bits are propagated at a finite speed, simultaneously is to be defined in terms of the size of the collision domain and the minimum packet size allowed. A smaller packet size or a larger dimension would make it possible for a sender to finish sending the packet without the first bits of the message being able to reach the most remote node. So, that node could start sending as well, without a clue to the

He's Just Not That Into You

Marlon Brando screentest 1951
I'm trying, I swear, to get into the fold, but I just can't NOT find this hilarious. On the eve of his presidency, Donald Trump tells European leaders, by not telling them diddly-squat, that he doesn't think they matter all that much. It's not just that his vision of the EU, and its importance, is very different from theirs, he also remembers very well what many of them have said about him in the run-up to his election for the presidency.
Europe's leaders, with the exception of Nigel Farage and Marine Le Pen, have been ridiculing and outright demonizing Trump ever since he declared his candidacy. They've said similar things about him that they say about Vladimir Putin, and in the 2016 fake news avalanche they've thrown the two together in various ways and for reasons they claim are obvious, with quite a few Hitler quips thrown in for good measure.
Now, for some reason they all seem to think it's important to meet with Trump before he meets with Putin, as if his view of the world, and that of his entire government, is so unbalanced it could be decided at the toss of a coin. Trump is having none of it. After having been compared to anything that's considered worst under the sun, who's going to blame him?
Donald Trump feels, and largely rightly so, that the principle of innocence before being proven guilty was abandoned with much fervor by many, and certainly across the EU. The result is that now he's simply not that into them. He's been shown no respect at all, and he has not forgotten that. And it leads to a situation that's brilliantly entertaining.
The EU, like the Obama/Clinton cabal, have dug in their heels and then dug some more when it comes to Putin, and by -their, not his- association also to Trump. They never thought he'd be elected, and now that he has been they don't know what to do with themselves (how about an apology for starters?).
AP reports, even if once again you have to read between all the innuendo and opinionated humbug (grow up, AP!):
Anxious European Leaders Seek An Early Audience With Trump
European leaders, anxious over Donald Trump's unpredictability and kind words for the Kremlin, are scrambling to get face time with the new American president before he can meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose provocations have set the continent on edge. One leader has raised with Trump the prospect of a U.S.-EU summit early this year, and the head of NATO — the powerful military alliance Trump has deemed "obsolete" — is angling for an in-person meeting ahead of Putin as well. British Prime Minister Theresa May is working to arrange a meeting in Washington soon after Friday's inauguration.
For European leaders, a meeting with a new American president is always a sought-after — and usually easy-to-obtain — invitation. But Trump has repeatedly defied precedent, making them deeply uncertain about their standing once he takes office. Throughout his campaign and in recent interviews, Trump has challenged the viability of the EU and NATO, while praising Putin and staking out positions more in line with Moscow than Brussels. "There are efforts on the side of the Europeans to arrange a meeting with Trump as quickly as possible," Norbert Roettgen, the head of the German Parliament's foreign committee and a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's party, told AP.
In fact, eager to stage an early show of Trans-Atlantic solidarity, Donald Tusk — the former Polish prime minister who heads the EU's Council of member state governments— invited Trump to meet with the EU early in his administration, according to a European Union official. But a senior Trump adviser essentially rebuffed the offer, telling the AP this week that such a gathering would not be a priority for the incoming president, who wants to focus on meetings with individual countries, not the 28-nation bloc.
Trump backs Britain's exit from the European Union, casting the populist, anti-establishment movement as a precursor to his own victory. In a recent joint interview with two European newspapers, Trump said of the EU, "I don't think it matters much for the United States."
So far so good, but then the rhetoric starts again. Only, it does so by calling Trump's words 'rhetoric':
Such rhetoric alone was enough to set off alarm bells in Europe. And Trump's praise for Putin and promise of closer ties to Moscow have deepened the uncertainty. Trump has raised the prospect of dropping U.S. sanctions on Moscow and has appeared indifferent to Russia's annexation of territory from Ukraine. The hacking of his opponents during the U.S. election, and Trump's dismissal of the CIA's warnings about Russia's involvement, added a dose of spy drama.
Trump's sentiments mark a dramatic shift in Republican views of Europe, just a generation after George H.W. Bush famously greeted the collapse of the Iron Curtain by calling for a "Europe whole and free." Trump's top national security adviser has been in close contact with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., conversations that have involved setting up a phone call between the Putin and the president-elect, transition officials have said. But Trump currently has no plans to meet with Putin, according to the senior adviser, who insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the transition team's internal planning.
Why on earth would Trump NOT meet with Putin? Because of all the unsubstantiated blubber his opponents have showered over him in their attempts to derail his campaign? If anything, that would probably make him all the more determined to set up such a meeting. Moreover, there's a lot of damage that needs to be repaired in US-Russia relations, damage done by the former administration and the press it has a love relationship with.
[..] Aides have signaled that one of Trump's first foreign leader meetings at the White House will be with May, who became prime minister following Britain's vote to leave the EU. The president-elect's team is also working on early invitations to Washington for the leaders of Mexico and Canada, according to the Trump adviser. Barring other arrangements, Trump and Putin's first meeting of the year might not come until July when the Group of 20 leaders gather in Hamburg, Germany — though Trump has yet to say whether he plans to attend international summits.
If he does, some European leaders could get an audience with him in May at a planned NATO summit and a gathering of the more elite Group of Seven in Italy. Russia had been a member of that group, but the U.S. and Europe ousted Putin after the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. One of the first tests of Trump's loyalties may well be whether he seeks to bring Russia back into that fold.
"If we start to equate democracies and non-democracies, allies and adversaries, this is setting a very dangerous precedent," said Heather Conley, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She said that if Trump were to reach out to Putin ahead of the Europeans upon taking office, "it would be a real cautionary note" for long-standing U.S. allies.
Guys! You lost! You lost big. Get a grip. It's a different world out there. Adapt accordingly or fade away. Something tells us the adaptation process will prove too much for most of Europe's current leaders. That will necessarily mean that most won't be leaders for long.
Europe will have to move closer to Putin as Trump does so. The war mongering posture of the past decade or so will have to go. This will be very hard to do for those leaders who have called both men everything awful in the world. Those who can't will have to leave. Like Juncker:
Hands off EU, Trump; We Don't Back Ohio Secession: Juncker
Donald Trump should lay off talking about the break-up of the European Union, the bloc's chief executive said on Wednesday, pointing out that Europeans do not push for Ohio to secede from the United States. In pointed remarks on the eve of Trump's inauguration as U.S. president, Jean-Claude Juncker said the new administration would realize it should not damage transatlantic relations but added it remained unclear what policies Trump would now pursue.
Juncker told Germany's BR television, according to a transcript from the Munich station, that he was sure no EU state wanted to follow Britain's example and leave the bloc, despite Trump's forecast this week that others would quit: "Mr. Trump should also not be indirectly encouraging them to do that," Juncker said. "We don't go around calling on Ohio to pull out of the United States."
Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said he had yet to speak to Trump – contrary to what the President-elect said earlier this week. Juncker said Trump had confused him with European Council President Donald Tusk. "Trump spoke to Mr. Tusk and mixed us up," said Juncker, taking a jab at the American billionaire's grasp of his new role. "That's the thing about international politics," he said. "It's all in the detail."
It's clear that in many countries, growing segments of both the population and the political sphere are thinking and talking about following Britain's example. Juncker had better address their concerns than trying to ignore and deny them, or he will guarantee to achieve the opposite of what he wants.
That Donald Trump was elected in the first place is a surefire sign that many things were going very wrong in the world. Brexit is a sign of the exact same thing. Elections and other votes coming up in Europe will be the next in line, and it doesn't even matter who wins them; many will be far too close for comfort for the existing order.
Meanwhile, watching the spectacle unfold from a distance, we find it impossible not to be highly amused by the former world order seeing their own words and actions backfire on them. And that has nothing to do with being pro-Trump or pro-Le Pen.

Q: Oracle Block Statement DBMS output syntax I made this account just for this question because I'm really not sure how to word it properly for google to pick up on it. So here goes...
I was working on a query for a group project that I was assigned in my database II course. I made 2 and was working on a third when I wanted to see if I could do something like the following.
declare
Emp_ID := 03;
Salary_Increment := 2.0 --constants do not change
Salary_ID := 03;
Current_Salary := 47500
Updated_Salary := Current_Salary * 2.0
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line('The Employee with the ID of' +Emp_ID 'will receive a 2% bonus.');
dbms_output.put_line('This Employees new salary will be: ' +Updated_Salary ');
end;

I attempted to do this previously but with a more simple code snippet. Figured I would see if I could do this just to simplify how much I have to type out.
TL;DR - Can I use a reference like    +Emp_ID     in a Oracle SQL dbms output?

A: In oracle, There are two ways of concating the string.

*

*using || operator.

Like this.
dbms_output.put_line('The Employee with the ID of' || Emp_ID || ' will receive a 2% bonus.');

*

*using CONCAT method.

Like this:
dbms_output.put_line(CONCAT(CONCAT('The Employee with the ID of', Emp_ID), ' will receive a 2% bonus.'));

Note that CONCAT uses only two parameter as input. So you need to use it multiple times to concat more than 2 strings.
Cheers!!

A: The string concatenation operator is || in PL/SQL, so you'd want to write
dbms_output.put_line('The Employee with the ID of' || Emp_ID || ' will receive a 2% bonus.');

ORLANDO, Fla. — The review ordered by the fire department and conducted by the National Police foundation praised OFD for "professionalism, dedication, and bravery" saving the lives of victims.
As mass shootings become the new normal, agencies in Florida and across the country are struggling to keep up.
The National Police Foundation interviewed more than 60 Orlando Fire Department employees and other city staff. The team reviewed 911 calls and department policies and procedures.
The report reveals the fire response may have been different if the fire chief had been on the scene and if different policies and procedures were in place.
It was 2:02 a.m. when gunman Omar Mateen walked into the Pulse nightclub in June 2016.
Fourteen minutes later, an assistant Orlando fire chief was dispatched to the call.
According to the review, it was two hours later when 911 dispatchers sent a page that went to the fire chief and three deputy chiefs.
When Orlando Police moved their command post, the fire department didn't follow suit. That left ambulances underutilized in transporting patients. The review also found firefighters received information on a radio channel that was not the primary channel used by law enforcement.
The report also shows that some first responders report suffering from PTSD. Many felt that they didn't do enough to help.
The chief was asked why ballistic vests that could've been used to protect firefighters were never distributed to crews.
The chief said he would not let firefighters go into the line of fire.
When it came time to breach a nightclub wall to take out the shooter, the Orlando Fire Department initially thought an improvised explosive device had gone off.
The lack of communication and coordination also temporarily stalled the process of having firefighters take more victims to the hospital, forcing some police officers to rely more on their patrol units, instead of using the ambulances.
Sometime between 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., the Orlando Fire Department executive staff, including the chief, started to arrive at the scene.
By then, Mateen had been killed by police.

LeslieMJHu,
You post: "$270 million loan payment refinanced with better terms for the Estate.
- MiJac deal renewed along with a new public-performance agreement. $70 million loan will be paid back until Summer"
In Nov 09 you posted the "Since Jackson just repaid the loan the agreement has been terminated, and the titles of 1503 songs from the MiJac catalouge been transferred back to the star"
On Mar 08 "According to a recent interview with a Michael Jackson associate, the star has $100 million in loans. This is a good news indeed: the very same loan was more then $300 million back in 2005."
Did MJ use the MiJac catalog for a loan after retrieving it in 08 and if so when and if not MJ then who and why?
Has the loans been refinanced?
Dialdancer said...
I keep asking the following questions to various financial sources and meeting a brick wall. Absolute silence.
Has the Estate refinanced $270 million loan? Is it not due Sept 10, 2010?
What $70 million loan on - MiJac? MJ just paid it off in Nov 08. There were no reports from the entertainment or financial sector about him using MiJac as collateral against any other loan.
Second set of questions.
When you speak of "Sony/ATV deal soon to be renewed and the " MiJac deal renewed along with a new public-performance agreement" What deals are you referring to?

Rafineria ropy naftowej – podstawowy zakład przemysłu petrochemicznego wytwarzający paliwa, oleje, smary, asfalty oraz inne surowce wytwarzane z ropy naftowej.

Na skalę przemysłową rektyfikacja ropy naftowej odbywa się w rafineriach, w kolumnach rektyfikacyjnych. Każdy z otrzymanych produktów rozdziela się dalej (np. mazut na wazelinę i parafinę) lub poddaje się innym przemianom chemicznym (np. dostosowanie benzyny jako paliwa do silników spalinowych).

Procesy rafineryjne można podzielić na dwie kategorie:

Procesy zachowawcze – niepowodujące zmian chemicznych surowca, niewpływające na wydajność produktu, a wpływające na ich jakość:
 destylacja – wykorzystywana do rozdziału ropy naftowej na frakcje,
 absorpcja – wykorzystywana do usuwania gazów C4-C5,
 krystalizacja – wykorzystywana do odparafinowania,
 ekstrakcja – wykorzystywana między innymi do oddzielania węglowodorów, aromatycznych za pomocą mieszaniny ABT (aceton – benzen – toluen),
 adsorpcja – wykorzystywana do oczyszczania gazów i cieczy.

Procesy destrukcyjne – zmieniające skład chemiczny surowca i wpływające na wydajność produktów:
 kraking termiczny i katalityczny – zamiana ciężkich frakcji we frakcje lżejsze,
 koksowanie – rozkład surowca pod wpływem temperatury,
 piroliza,
 reforming – polega na aromatyzacji węglowodorów naftenowych; produktem reformingu są benzyny o wysokich liczbach oktanowych,
 izomeryzacja – otrzymywanie węglowodorów o rozgałęzionych łańcuchach, a przez to zwiększenie liczby oktanowej surowca,
 uwodornienie – hydrorafinacja, hydrotreating i hydrokraking.

Przy rafineriach istnieją też zazwyczaj oddziały produkujące polimery: polietylen, polipropylen i polistyren. Ubocznymi produktami rafinerii są także rozpuszczalniki organiczne takie jak: eter naftowy, toluen i aceton.

CoinLoan Weekly: Market in the green, BTC above $17K, SOL & ADA rally
Weekly•Jan 10, 2023
BTC gained ground after languishing below $16,800 and falling to $16,625.15 on Tuesday, January 3. Following a high of nearly $16,973, it traded tightly around $16,800 and approached $17,000 with the release of the nonfarm payroll report on Friday, January 6. Subsequently, BTC leveled off at roughly $16,940 and barely moved through the weekend. On Monday, January 9, it rose to a three-week high of $17,359.37.
The pioneering coin has fluctuated between $16,500 and $17,500 for most of the past month, with roughly 20% lost since the FTX collapse. Although it ticked up on the December employment report, the latter provided mixed signals for the inflation outlook. According to the figures, the US labor market has barely loosened up despite the Federal Reserve's aggressive strategy. Following the report release, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index descended back to extreme fear at 25.
As of this writing, BTC is changing hands at $17,333.33, with a 24-hour gain of +2.3% and 7-day growth of +4.3%.
Make your BTC work on CoinLoan — earn up to 5% annually with Interest Account, or collateralize your coins for instant crypto loans without lock-ins or credit checks!
ETH eclipsed BTC, gaining more than twice as much over the past seven days. Ascending from $1,200, it reached $1,250 on Wednesday, January 4, and $1,275 on Friday, January 6. The weekend locked it in a narrow range around $1,265. Then, in the early hours of Monday, January 9, ETH soared above $1,300, and the price eventually reached $1,341.41.
According to technical analysts, ETH is consolidating gains with the potential to grow if it holds above support at $1,270. Signs of cooling in the employment market prompted a rush into riskier assets, with Ether options traders betting on a 160% rally in the first quarter of 2023. The coin soared in lockstep with the crypto market and reached three-week highs. However, another hawkish move by the Fed might dampen the market sentiment again.
As of now, ETH is worth $1,333.33, with a 24-hour rise of +5.3% and a 7-day jump of +11.0%.

Following a crash to $0.326194 on Monday, January 2, XRP swiftly bounced back to over $0.353, seesawed lower through Tuesday, January 3, and held firmly above $0.343 the next day. The slide to $0.333 on Friday, January 6, was followed by soaring to nearly $0.346 at the start of the weekend. XRP stayed close to $0.345 until Monday, January 9, when its rise culminated in a high of $0.357418.
Last week, XRP became the most traded token among the top 100 BSC whales. It also gained one of the most prominent rate listings in the past two years — against USDT on BitMart. This pair went live on Thursday, January 5, which appeared to boost the price as XRP holders may now access one of the leading exchanges. Several major platforms delisted XRP in 2020 and 2021 due to the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple Labs.
At press time, XRP is trading at $0.357427, with a 24-hour rise of +4.8% and 7-day growth of +5.4%.

Bitcoin above $17K for the first time since mid-December
As the weekend drew to a close, Bitcoin gained enough momentum to push past the psychologically important level of $17,000. The coin hit a three-week high, and a jump over $17,100 could unlock the next technical level at around $17,800, according to a report by Coinbase Institutional's David Duong.
Based on blockchain data, FundStrat's Sean Farrell has pointed to a significant number of ready buyers with an "appetite to buy BTC at the very specific level of $16,000-$17,200." This "strong buy wall at current market prices" hints at the formation of "a strong bottom."
The $17,000 threshold had been BTC's rally ceiling since mid-December. The biggest cryptocurrency briefly ticked past it on Friday, January 6, but cementing the move took time.
US employment data
Financial markets reacted positively to the latest US jobs report, which indicated that the service sector had slowed in December. However, the figures do not seem compelling enough for the Fed to abandon its adherence to aggressive tightening.
According to the report, jobs grew only moderately in December, while wage growth slowed down and more US citizens worked or sought positions compared to November. That said, the outlook for inflation remains vague — while the labor market has weakened, it is still too robust for the Fed to reach its target of 2% inflation.
Key developments to follow
The Fed's hawkish policies have been unfavorable for BTC, leading to its poorest annual performance in the past four years. In the last 12 months, the coin has shed 64% of its value, and crypto traders expect more volatility soon. Aside from the Fed and the upcoming US inflation report, all sights are on the future of Digital Currency Group, Tron, Huobi, and Solana.
The next meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to begin on January 31. According to the CME FedWatch tool, a rate hike of 50 to 75 basis points is the most likely. The new US consumer price data due on January 12 should play a crucial role in the decision-making process.
Crypto conglomerate Digital Currency Group and its subsidiary Genesis are under investigation by the SEC (the US Securities and Exchange Commission) and the EDNY (US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York). According to Bloomberg, federal prosecutors are scrutinizing transactions between the two companies in light of heavy losses sustained amid the 2022 crypto turmoil.
Meanwhile, Tron's TRX token and Huobi's HT slid last week on the news of internal tensions at the crypto exchange. Huobi, whose advisory board includes Tron founder Justin Sun, announced laying off 20% of staff and converting all salaries into stablecoins.
The performance of Solana's SOL could prove impactful, as the token used to be one of Sam Bankman-Fried's favorites. It became one of the biggest casualties of the FTX implosion in late 2022.
The payout from the Mt Gox crypto-exchange rehabilitation plan settlement could also sway the crypto prices. According to a document released last week, the deadline for registration and repayment method selection has been put back from January 10 to March 10, 2023.
SOL and ADA soar, setting monthly highs
Supporters of Cardano and Solana rejoiced on Sunday, January 8. According to CoinGecko, both cryptocurrencies shot up by over 21%, reaching levels last seen in November. As of this writing, ADA is at $0.323881, with a 7-day rise of 29.5%. Meanwhile, SOL is at $16.20, with a staggering 62.5% gain over the same period.
For Solana, the first week of the year brought stellar performance that eclipsed all other coins in the top 20. It gained 11% on Monday, January 3, 16% the next day, and continued rising. This latest rebound is astonishing, considering the dramatic freefall following the FTX collapse.
As Sam Bankman-Fried had praised Solana and invested in its ecosystem, his downfall dragged it down, triggering a loss of over 41%. At press time, SOL is almost 94% below its all-time high of $259.96 on November 7, 2021.
The spectacular resurgence came after the launch of BONK, a novel coin designed to compete with SHIB. This Shiba Inu-themed asset outshined all major cryptos last week after being airdropped to developers, creators, and NFT holders. Following a jump by over 3,000% to $0.00000487, the coin descended on January 6, 2022, and is currently 1,776% above its December 30 price.
The backdrop to ADA's rise was vague, as the last significant development on its roadmap occurred in September when the Vasil fork went live. According to BeinCrypto, DeFi activity on Cardano has recently ticked up — the total value locked across all projects hit a two-month high last week, with double-digit gains for the top five. As per DeFiLlama, TVL reached $90 million, rising by 40% since the beginning of the year.
The latest news primarily concerned Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson. Last week, he announced that clients of his new Hoskinson Health & Wellness Clinic would be able to pay in ADA. His other non-blockchain business — Nessie's restaurant and whiskey lounge — is also expected to accept the coin, while Input Output HK, a technology and engineering company he founded, is gearing up to launch the Lace wallet for ADA.


Tendai Kashangura is a very dear friend of Rock Forward. He has a heart of gold and loves and serves his community, country and the African continent, in any way he can. He is an amazing business trainer and is very respected by all! We are fortunate and privileged to be a part of the team that supports and grows the new and established business savings groups in Zimbabwe. Below is a report spotlighting his work. Please feel free to get involved in this amazing ministry, by contacting Ron or Cathy King at any time.
Rob is our first son in Zimbabwe, as we've been mentoring him for five years. He is seen here in this picture in the USA for two weeks, as his first ever in our country.
He has visited team members in Pennsylvania, worked at Three Cord, shared with many groups of supporters, board members, friends and family. He is loved by all!
We want to empower him as he looks at working to strengthen his company, Promitec, back in Zimbabwe, Africa, in the coming years.
Through weekly mentoring and accountability, he is now able to hire widows to do his sewing and provide jobs for other members of the community. Rob continues to regenerate this mentoring platform to Pastor Chippo. Pastor Chippo runs an orphanage and also ministers to women in the community and extremely low income parts of the city.
Part of a character building exercise that Robin and Julie put together!
These are pics of one of the business groups selling veggies.
Amy, our Rock Forward board member, is being gifted with a precious gift….. a live chicken. So generous!!
Africa Works do the business training and also secure the paybacks for the loans and redistribute them as more groups form and are trained. They hold all of our members accountable for what they have committed to, and emphasize that their business is not theirs, but it's Gods. And God is the One that is changing their lives and giving them opportunities of sustainability. This team is amazing and we couldn't do this without them and the inspiration and sacrifice that they give.


I have never personally bought a piece of technology brand new. I recognize that the reasoning behind it is due to having the privilege of knowing people who have hand-me-down technology to give. A quickly advancing field, it doesn't take long before a newer-"more improved" version is released. My advice: Don't buy into it (literally!). Many other people will, and that's the whole point. When people around you are buying newer versions of stuff, the older versions will be left lying around. It is quite difficult to properly dispose of tech stuff. You can't just throw it in the trash. This is where you swoop! Ask around for any older gadgets that they are no longer using, when you are ready for your own upgrade.
I got my first cell phone as a hand-me down from my parents when I was 18 years old. I was starting college, and my 17 year old sister and I shared the cell phone. I remember it was an older version than what my friends were carrying. A flip phone with a keyboard. It could not receive texts, nor could it access the internet. So I am not sure what the point of the keyboard was. This was in 2007 when classmates were already checking their emails on their iPhones. But I was so excited, and it serviced me fine.
I remember that in my 3rd year of college, I went abroad to study in Santiago, Chile. I did not have an international cell phone plan, so all of my communication was through this really old computer in the lobby of the hotel we were living in. There were two old computers that gave me an hour of access to the WiFi per day. When I came home that summer, I was shocked to learn that my parents had FINALLY added texting to our plan. This was in 2010, and I had just started to use texting.
Eventually, that phone died, and I needed a new one. Luckily, my then boyfriend and now husband, was very big on keeping up with the iPhone releases. That summer, a new iPhone was released and he gave me his old iPhone. Two years later, we would do the same. When the iPhone 7 got released, he gave me his iPhone 5. They were the best upgrades ever. Ever since then, I am happy to report that my habit of never upgrading just because there are new releases rubbed off on him. He still has that iPhone 7, complete with a broken screen which occurred more than a year ago, due to the unfortunate event of dropping it down two flights of stairs.
One summer, "my" iPhone 5 refused to turn on. It was charging one minute, then frozen the next. Taking that baby to the iPhone store and learning that I will never see that small screen light up ever again was heart-breaking. But I was not ready to buy a new phone. So I went and talked to my dad.
Since I hadn't upgraded my phone with AT&T since 2008, I was actually able to get a "free upgrade". He was able to maneuver a deal for me to get a free iPhone6. Currently, I still carry around that iPhone 6 and will continue to do so until it decides to die on me. Since my husband himself has graduated from the habit of continually upgrading, our "newest" phone is a bashed up iPhone7 with a cracked screen.
I got my first laptop as a hand-me-down when I was 17 years old. It was my dad's very old office laptop, the kind that takes fifteen minutes to start up. It was a chunky piece of tech, one that I couldn't carry to class at high school or college. It sat in the same corner of my parents bedroom, and I would have to deal with sitting cross-legged on the hardwood floor in order to use it, because it had to stay connected to that small blue box that wired it to the internet. Yes, our house did not have WiFi at the time.
When I graduated college at 21 years old, my parents gifted me a laptop that cost less than $500. This was a pretty expensive graduation gift! But they knew that I was pursuing dentistry and that I would need a laptop in dental school. The plan was for this to get me through the next four years. That laptop survived five whole years. It had scratches, the corner of it was taped together, and it was slow, like an aged man. I held onto it for dear life. Close to my graduating dental school, my laptop started to give out. I was so bummed, but my now husband, once again, came to my rescue. He had a $400 laptop himself that has seen three years of service. He saw my frustrations with my slow computer, and decided to lend his laptop to me. Eventually, I took over and he had his desktop for his own computer needs.
Just last month, this super old laptop that has survived six years started to slow. In fact, it started to throw tantrums. After an hour of being on, it would suddenly freeze up. There was no way around it but to turn it off, and lose everything I was currently working on. I worried for my blog's existence, and started conjuring up solutions.
"I have always wanted an Macbook", a voice in my head said. It's true. Since I have never bought a laptop of my own, I have had to make do with whatever brand I was given. But I have always wanted the sleek look of Macbooks. Then the cost dawns on me. Over a grand for a brand new one, almost a grand for a refurbished one. I started to make calculations in my head. I couldn't embrace that idea, so my husband suggested I spend a few hundred dollars to buy a laptop to tide me over until I could save for a pretty, silver apple. From a valuist viewpoint, I couldn't get behind that idea either. To buy something I don't actually want, that is subpar from my expectations just to be cheap is just not my style. So what did I do?
I started to tell people about my woes. How I was in search of a laptop, but I was not ready to buy one per say. Lo and behold, my family had something tucked away in the master bedroom. An unused Microsoft Surface Pro II. This used to be my dad's work laptop provided by his office. As a person who works from home, his company provides him with the laptop needed in order to do his work. He just recently upgraded to the Macbooks that I myself was yearning for, which meant that his old laptop was no longer being used. This is the laptop I am typing this article on now.
It's so funny because this is the nicest laptop I have ever owned. I am so excited about its ability to turn into a tablet, the fact that it's touchscreen, and the pen that I can draw/write with directly on the screen. I texted my friend and told him that I got a new laptop, and his response was, "Hah! That thing is so old." In my head, I was thinking, "Yes, but it's free." I do this all the time, and am extremely proud of it. You can call me a leech, but honestly, I am simply putting to good use discarded and forgotten gadgets that function completely fine.
If you'd like to do the same, here are some actionable tips.
Never buy technology brand new.
Ask around for unused or unwanted gadgets.
Hang on to your devices until they die out on you.
Share devices with people you live with.
Challenge yourself to go without, for a while.
If you really want to buy a gadget, but have the flexibility to wait a little longer, try putting a search in camelcamelcamel.com. You can have a notification sent directly to you when something does go on sale below the price point that you are willing to pay. I am sure more techy people can find ways to save. To help the community, feel free to share your own actionable tips in the comments!

Almost three-in-ten citizens globally say they have started a business at some point
Entrepreneurialism is the spawning ground for small businesses which we know help drive the health of most economies. Small businesses took the brunt of pandemic shut downs and are now only recovering. So, what does the spawning ground look like now? A new 26-country Ipsos poll finds that entrepreneurial activity is alive and well in some countries but lacking in others.
Global Advisor
The author(s)
Chris Martyn Public Affairs, Canada
Martin Hrobsky Public Affairs, Canada
Nicolas Boyon Public Affairs, US
Overall, almost three-in-ten global citizens (31%) say that they have started a business at some point, while close to an equal number (29%) hope to do so in the near future.
But entrepreneurial activity and aspirations vary widely by country. For example:
Peru (54%), Colombia (54%) and Mexico (53%) have the highest proportion of people saying they have started a business in the past, while South Korea (18%), France (16%), Belgium (14%) and Japan (9%) have the lowest rates of entreprenurialism.
Colombia (58%), Mexico (55%) and South Africa (54%) have the highest proportion of adults saying they are likely to start a business in the future, while Sweden (13%), Belgium (13%, the Netherlands (11%) and Japan (8%) have the lowest rates of people planning on starting a business.
Government support seen as key
When asked how much inflation, interest rates and government supports contribute to the success of new business endeavors, government supports ranks first (56%), interest rates second (50%) and inflation third (40%). But only close to one-third (30%), on average across 28 countries, say that government is doing a good job fostering entrepreneurialism in their countries.
The private sector and banks do not fair any better. Only a minority say that the private sector (31%) and banks (31%) are doing a good job fostering entrepreneurialism in their countries.
Non-traditional groups becoming active
While entrepreneurialism may have been the domain of men and higher socio-economic groups in the past, this is no longer the case.
People who identify as women (+5%), Gen Z/Millennial (+18%) and lower income (+7%) have increased most since 2018 in reporting that they have started a business.
The biggest increase in entrepreneurial aspirations since 2018 is among women, Gen Z/Millennials, those with lower education, and people of lower and middle income.
Funding holding people back
When asked what the key barriers are to starting a business, funding ranks as the top barrier (41%). Lack of interest (19%) and the condition of the economy (19%) rank well back tied in second place, while lack of knowledge (17%) is close behind.
Social entrepreneurialism competing with business entrepreneurialism
Entrepreneurialism is being manifested mostly in its traditional way – business creation (business entrepreneurialism).
However, it is also being manifested, sometimes in conjunction with business creation but sometimes not, in social entrepreneurialism (captured as those who've created an interest group). More than one in 10 (14%) of global citizens say that they have started an interest group in the past and 19% say that they are likely to in the next 2 years.
As well, social entrepreneurialism tends to be a more recent phenomenon than business entrepreneurialism, with a greater proportion of those creating an interest group doing so in the past 2 years (76% vs. 52% who started their business in the past 2 years).
This reflects the reality of who current and likely entrepreneurs are as people — they are much more likely than non-entrepreneurs to be participating/active in society generally (i.e., follow news, donate time/money, etc.).
Women not treated fairly
Just under 2 in 5 global citizens (37%) believe that women are treated fairly when they try to start a business. This varies wildely by country with a majority in Saudi Arabia (72%), China (67%), India (60%) and Malaysia (55%) believing women are treated fairly. This belief is lowest in Italy (26%), France (26%), Brazil (25%), South Korea (24%) and Japan (14%).
Our Ipsos entrepreneurialism study shows that there is significant untapped potential for entrepreneurial activity moving further into 2022 and beyond.
And key to tapping this potential is recognizing that traditionally underrepresented groups, like women, those with lower education and those with lower incomes, are catching up with traditional groups, such as men?, in their entrepreneurial aspirations.
Also key in tapping into entrepreneurialism is recognizing that business entrepreneurialism often goes hand in hand with social entrepreneurialism.
These are the findings of a 28-country Ipsos survey conducted May 27-June 7, 2022, among 21,515 adults aged 18-74 in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, South Africa and Turkey, and among people ages 16-74 in 23 other countries, via Ipsos' Global Advisor online survey platform.

Add the chilli in small amounts to season the sauce to taste. Add salt and pepper. Set aside.
Spread the cheese on a side of the tortilla.
Put in the oven on a baking sheet for 5 minutes for the cheese to melt.
Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the remaining garlic and the mushrooms for 5 minutes.
Spread the mixture over the cheese on the tortilla and fold it in two.
Heat the butter in the pan over medium heat and brown the tortilla for 3 minutes on each side.
When golden, transfer on to a plate and cut in 4.
Serve hot the spinach and mushroom quesadillas along with tomato salsa.
A healthy cooking habit: measure the oil using a tablespoon.

A physical board game journey might involve clearing datasets for release as open data, achieving a certain data quality, and ultimately connecting data sets with a start up, SME or government to deliver economic, social and environmental benefits.
It is a Github code repository that contains all the things that are needed to create the game. It is a work in progress, according to the publisher. Requires some expertise to create the board game using the files in the Github repository.
Toolkit for Advancing Legislative Openness
This resource aims to enrich the efforts of parliaments and their civil society counterparts to engage in collaborative processes, either as part of the Open Government Partnership National Action Plan or otherwise. The first section focuses on the development of open parliament commitments. The second section shares the experiences of a variety of parliaments and civil society organisations in collaborating in the creation of parliamentary openness commitments and in developing ongoing mechanisms for dialogue on openness. The final section shares some of the types of commitments that parliaments have made to become more open, accountable and engaging of citizens. It also lists additional resources that can be drawn upon to advance parliamentary openness.
The resource is available in English, Spanish, and French.

The Vermont Safe Routes to School program is intended to benefit children in primary and middle schools (K-8). Safe Routes to School (SR2S) is about children walking and biking to school: regularly, routinely, and safely.
Mary Hogan School will be using the plan as a guide for their 2014-15 work plan.
The school is purportedly close to achieving a platinum level (the highest) in the Safe Routes to School VT program. The SR2S work group have been discussing crosswalk and signage improvements to the Mary Hogan School parking lot as well as a host of other proposed changes aiming to improve their traffic flow and safety.
From 2011-2012, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), through the Vermont SR2S Resource Center, has provided technical assistance in identifying infrastructure improvements that would have a positive impact on walking and biking to the Ferrisburgh Central School. These infrastructure recommendations are considered planning level and will require further engineering analysis to determine feasibility. However, as this study is only first step towards providing improved mobility and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, its recommendations can be the basis for future grants and/or improvements initiated by the Town of Ferrisburgh and/or Addison Northwest Supervisory Union.
