I have been curious about Network Marketing: Is it synonymous to Pyramiding? Is it Pyramiding?although I've witnessed tons of seminars and talks about such when I was in college, It never occurred to me to join into anything as it sounded "too good to be true" , another one of those scams you'll regret after or thought (until presently) I'll never be a seller or recruiter.
Our generation are more capable to freelancing and being their own boss; majority of those who are in my circle are entrepreneurs or proprietors and Network Marketing certainly is one of the best advice they usually give me when starting up a business when you still don't have the capital to actually make your own business structure or ample dough to whip and supply your own product.
After meeting two new young adults, as they discussed and showed their monthly income through the past year, it made me wonder on who they've become, what they are now doing and how they actually switched from having a day job, stopped accepting nocturnal shifts into their own boss who earns triple to quadruple than how much they actually earn being an employee of the industry they were in.
I can't say that I'm already hopping into the umbrella of Network Marketing but after reading through the difference between "Pyramiding" and "Network Marketing" , I'm one step knowledgeable than I was. I'm not as skeptical as I used to be.
For those of you who are questioning themselves about Network Marketing, may this post help you deplete those negative definition and give Network Marketing a Chance. Again, there's more research to be done but knowing and learning is a step towards clarity. It's up to you if you'll accept the challenge of being a Network Marketer.
A pyramid is a scheme where normally, there's no product involved at all, just money changing hands — or if there is a product, it's clearly there just to support a money game.
Pyramids are strictly a money game and have no basis in real commerce. For example, pyramids are programs similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on the promise that other people will put in money that will filter back to each person that participate and somehow, they'll get rich. In short, it is a get-rich-quick scheme. Just remember, if to looks too good to be true – it IS too good to be true.
There are many such programs in circulation today — so be careful when you are introduced to such a program — chances are it IS a Pyramid scheme!
Network marketing is a business model that is based on providing people with real, legitimate products they need and want at a fair price. In network marketing a person buys into the concept of the product(s) offered, sponsor other people and teach those people how to sell the company product and those people sponsor others who duplicate the process.
This concept is called "leverage"….. You can leverage your time and increase the number of hours of work effort on which you can be paid by sponsoring other people and earning income on their efforts, while at the same time they get paid for sponsoring and leveraging the efforts of others. This is a win-win for all involved.
J. Paul Getty, who created one of the world's greatest fortunes, said "I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts." This very basic concept is the cornerstone of network marketing.
By helping the people you personally sponsor to sponsor others, you duplicate yourself. As this process continues, you create compound growth that can lead to hundreds or even thousands of people coming into your business.
Network marketing has proven itself as part of the new economy and is becoming a preferred way to do business here and around the world. It is highly endorsed by Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and others as the new business model of the future.
Network marketing isn't about taking advantage of friends and relatives. The primary goal is to share excellent products, services, and opportunities with people you know — family, friends and loved ones to help them improve their lives and future.
Sharing the products or services and the opportunity with people you know is still the basic foundation of the business, although today we see more people using sophisticated marketing techniques such as the Internet, conference calling and other long-distance sponsoring techniques to extend their network across the country.
Don't let questions about whether your network marketing opportunity is a pyramid cause you concern about whether your network marketing opportunity is legitimate. Remember, if you have a solid product or service that customers might need or want your network marketing company is legitimate.

Abstract: It would seem to be impossible not to recognize the historical significance and symbolism that Barack Obama's election represents, regardless of whether someone supported Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, or any of the other thirteen contenders for the presidency. Just 45 years after Dr. Martin Luther King's ''I Have a Dream'' speech and Birmingham Public Service Commissioner Bull Connor directed fire hoses to be aimed at civil rights demonstrators, an African-American was elected president of the United States. No matter how Obama fares as president, this is a remarkable milestone in U.S. history.
Abstract: The past eight years have been a period of retreat and revival for multilateralism. Retreat in the face of the most concerted unilateralist strategy undertaken by a U.S. administration in half a century, and revival because, during the Bush administration's second term, there was an emerging political consensus that multilateralism was a critical element of U.S. power. Revival, however, promised not simply restoring multilateral institutions in U.S. strategy, but reforming or even replacing those institutions themselves. The ongoing financial crisis_with the Group of 20 (G-20), including leaders from Argentina, China, India, and South Africa, among others, taking on a leading role_has merely been the latest sign that greater multilateral cooperation is both necessary and difficult.
85. Why Has the United States Not Been Attacked Again?
87. The United States, India, and Global Governance: Can They Work Together?
Abstract: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 requires the U.S. secretary of defense to conduct a nuclear posture review (NPR) in consultation with the secretaries of energy and state, and to report the results to Congress before the end of 2009.The NPR, therefore, will be the Obama administration's forum for reviewing U.S. nuclear weapons policy, posture, and related programmatic and technical issues. Navigating and choosing among sharp disagreements in each of these areas, in order to map the wisest path forward for national and international security, is a difficult task. President Barack Obama has already made decisions on a number of important nuclear issues, but the NPR will need to relate these to the overall nuclear weapons posture. How will his desire to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) relate to the size and capabilities of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex? Should the United States arm some Trident submarines with conventionally/-tipped ballistic missiles? Should it pursue new arms control agreements with Russia beyond negotiating a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START)? What should medium/-term U.S. objectives for strategic and non/-strategic warhead numbers and types be? What about ballistic missile defense? The list of important questions is long and, unless integrated into a broader strategic vision, presents a disparate jumble of choices.
Abstract: President Barack Obama ran a successful campaign on the theme of change. Yet, for addressing what is perhaps the greatest long-term strategic challenge facing the United States—managing U.S. relations with a rising China—change is not what is needed. President George W. Bush's strategy toward China is an underappreciated success story and the Obama administration would be wise to build on that success rather than attempt to radically transform U.S. policy toward China.
Abstract: Because the new administration of President Barack Obama inherited the most demanding agenda, both at home and abroad, that any U.S. government has faced in many decades, few observers expected that it would devote much attention to U.S. relations with Latin America and the Caribbean. None of the countries of the Americas presents an imminent threat to U.S. national security. None is likely to be the source or target of significant international terrorism. With so much else to attend to, the Obama administration might well have relegated Latin America to the distant backburner.

Olympic Dam
Underground copper mine, also producing uranium, gold and silver
Explore our global locations
Located 560 kilometres north of Adelaide, Olympic Dam is one of the world's most significant deposits of copper, gold, silver and uranium.
Olympic Dam is made up of underground and surface operations and operates a fully integrated processing facility from ore to metal.
The underground mine is made up of more than 450 kilometres of underground roads and tunnels. Ore mined underground is hauled by an automated train system to crushing, storage and ore hoisting facilities.
The processing plant consists of two grinding circuits in which high-quality copper concentrate is extracted from sulphide ore through a flotation extraction process. Olympic Dam has a fully integrated metallurgical complex with a grinding and concentrating circuit, a hydrometallurgical plant incorporating solvent extraction circuits for copper and uranium, a copper smelter, a copper refinery and a recovery circuit for precious metals.

The Olympic Dam experience
It's an exciting time to be part of the #OlympicDamSquad – hear from our team about why they love it!
Key developments during FY2019
Olympic Dam began operating its third access ramp or decline, opening up the southern mine area. The new decline, known as the Kalta decline, supports productivity and potential growth at the mine as it improves traffic flow for Olympic Dam's underground trucking fleet.
BHP's research and development trials into heap leaching technology were successfully completed. Heap leaching works by drip-feeding acid through a large stockpile (or heap) of ore to leach out metals. The program, which began in 2012, was conducted with the support of the South Australian Government, and confirmed the viability of the technology.
In November 2018, BHP announced a discovery 65 kilometres southeast of Olympic Dam. A potential new iron oxide, copper and gold mineralised system was uncovered as part of our ongoing copper exploration program. The results are still in an early phase and more geological information is required.
Olympic Dam has a range of future growth options to consider as part of its sustained, long-term growth strategy, including the Brownfield Expansion project.
The Brownfield Expansion project has the potential to result in production growing at Olympic Dam to approximately 240-300 kilotonnes per annum (ktpa).

We provide legal representation primarily in immigration and criminal matters. Our expertise in this unique combination of practice areas enables us to extend a full-service benefit to our clients.
In the immigrant community, criminal convictions often lead to immigration consequences. Conversely, and to a lesser extent, simple immigration cases can contain elements of criminal law. The frequency with which these areas of the law are simultaneously present in an individual's case, however, is matched by the scarcity of this combination of expertise in the legal community.
We have leveraged the edge that this desirable mix of experience has given us, to empower our clients with a comprehensive spectrum of available legal options.

Growth in manufacturing is driving the economies of the Southern States, while they grapple with the challenges of diversification.
If there's an emerging star for economic growth in the South these days, it's probably Nashville, where the creative scene associated with its status as the nation's country-music capital, outsized growth in freelance work and other aspects of the "gig economy," strong expansion in healthcare and other services, robust infrastructure of higher educational institutions, and even a significant local manufacturing base have combined to fuel a continuing boom.
Case in point: Warner Music Group recently announced that it will expand in Nashville over the next two years, bringing 175 additional jobs as the company moves its finance team into town. The music industry supports 56,000 jobs in the Nashville area.
For the rest of Tennessee and the other states of the South, the key for future economic growth is whether they collectively can replicate what's happening in Nashville as well as in some other parts of the region and maintain or expand what has been a healthy share of the national increase in corporate locations and jobs.
The region's inherent advantages include a vast and still-growing manufacturing base that rivals that of the Midwest in important and basic industries, including automotive and aerospace; a rising tide of employment in services and other professional pursuits; an expanding presence in the digital economy; more state-level policies to encourage business investment; and effective exploitation of the region's inherent advantages of a temperate climate and geographic attributes. What's more, with the exception of Kentucky, all of the region's states are right-to-work.
Still, major states in the region have been hit hard over the last couple of years by tectonic shifts in America's energy economy. The collapse in oil and gas prices has knocked Louisiana's crucial petrochemical business for a loop, and the continuing decline in demand for Appalachian coal has become a huge drag on Kentucky's progress. The Southern States overall still face some stiff obstacles in the years ahead as they continue to fill out their portfolios as complete economic engines.
In fact, says King White, president of Site Selection Group in Dallas, while the South is "a desirable region" for call centers and data centers and similar types of facilities, "it is important to carefully evaluate site opportunities there at the county level. Labor conditions vary depending on what type of labor a company is needing." For instance, White explains, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana continue to win projects, but mostly manufacturing-related.
Manufacturing growth in those states and others in the region continues to rank as one of its biggest and most important success stories. Alabama, for instance, keeps adding to its status as America's aerospace-manufacturing headquarters. American Airlines took delivery in May of its first Alabama-made A321 passenger jet from the Airbus factory in Mobile, a $600 million plant that now has around 350 employees and is expected to support 1,000 jobs once production reaches full tilt: delivery of four aircraft a month from the plant by the end of 2017.
Meanwhile, Boeing continues to deliver huge economic benefits to Alabama from its 2,750 employees in the state, with an overall economic impact on the economy of $2.3 billion a year, according to a new analysis by the University of Alabama. And the University of Alabama and Auburn University are partnering with NASA on future technologies that could aid space exploration, at the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
Other states are getting in on the aerospace action as well. In Kentucky, for example, Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems dedicated a $9 million expansion of its manufacturing and distribution campus in Danville in October, providing 66 additional jobs to the existing employment base of 185 people. And Raytheon plans to build its new proposed jet trainer for the U.S. Air Force in Meridian, Miss., where the company already builds array radars.
Tennessee's huge network of technology-intensive auto plants — including major assembly complexes for Nissan and Volkswagen — helps ensure the steady creation of desirable jobs. In fact, Tennessee topped all states since 2013 with 4.6 percent annual growth in high-skilled jobs, according to a recent report by the Brookings Institution.
Another major boon for the state has been the investment of more than $2 billion over the last six years by food and beverage companies, creating more than 6,500 jobs. And Leclerc Foods recently announced that it would add to the total by establishing its U.S. headquarters in Kingsport, as well as additional capacity to manufacture its cookie and other snack products.
In Arkansas, Chinese manufacturers have begun creating a stream of new investments. Suzhou Tianyuan Garments agreed to create 400 jobs and invest $20 million in an operation in Little Rock; the company makes casual and sports wear for Adidas, Reebok, and Armani. Also, Sun Paper plans to invest $1 billion in a new bio-products paper plant in Arkadelphia, creating 2,150 jobs.
Across verticals, manufacturing locations and expansions keep popping up across the region. Georgia-Pacific completed a $40 million expansion at its lumber operations in Gurdon, Ark., adding 60 percent to capacity. And Nucor announced a $230 million investment and the addition of 100 jobs at its cold mill steel complex in Arkansas to help supply the growing appetite by U.S. auto manufacturers for high-strength and high-strength/low-alloy steels.
MACA Plastics, which supplies components to the medical and auto industries, plans to locate a 156-job plant in Maysville, Ky., with an $8 million investment. The company is based in Winchester, Ohio. And auto supplier Yokohama Industries America plans to invest $5 million and hire 134 employees for new equipment at its plant in Versailles, Ky. Germany's Feuer Powertrain opened its first U.S. factory, in Jackson, Miss., as well as its U.S. headquarters, with 350 jobs and a 156,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. Continental Tire broke ground on a new manufacturing plant near Clinton, representing a $1.45 billion investment that is expected to create 2,500 jobs.
And in Alabama, new projects include a $200 million planned outlay by German chemical manufacturer BASF to expand its plastics-additives business in McIntosh, as well as the opening of a new Polaris Industries factory in Huntsville to produce Ranger off-road vehicles and Slingshot three-wheeled roadsters beginning in 2017 — a $140 million investment that now has around 500 workers and is expected to reach 1,700 employees or more.
Companies that have announced new and/or expanded facilities in the Southern region.
Warner Music Group recently announced that it will expand in Nashville over the next two years, bringing 175 additional jobs as the company moves its finance team into town.
American Airlines took delivery in May of its first Alabama-made A321 passenger jet from the Airbus factory in Mobile, a $600 million plant that now has around 350 employees and is expected to support 1,000 jobs once production reaches full tilt by end of 2017.

A new Polaris Industries factory in Huntsville will produce Ranger off-road vehicles and Slingshot three-wheeled roadsters beginning in 2017 — a $140 million investment that now has around 500 workers and is expected to reach 1,700 employees or more.
General Informatics recently broke ground on a $20 million investment in a technology park in Baton Rouge.
The South is also attractive for call centers because of reasonable labor rates and the availability of American-English speakers. In Owensboro, Ky., for instance, Alorica announced that it would establish an 830-job customer-engagement center.
Digital-tech locations obviously are among the most coveted. And fortunately, the nature of digital technology is to allow programming, cloud-building, running server farms, and many other functions to occur anywhere in the country or the world, not just in legacy enclaves such as Silicon Valley and Austin, Texas. So the South is striving to get its share of that work, most of it clustered in a handful of cities with high populations of tech-savvy millennials. The benefits of information-technology development, of course, include the fact that it spans across many industry sectors, and the jobs typically pay above-average wages.
Louisiana has made a huge play for digital-era IT and electronic-media jobs for the last several years. For instance, General Informatics' recently broke ground on a $20 million investment in a technology park in Baton Rouge. And, in Alabama, a program called the Innovate Birmingham Regional Workforce Partnership is deploying $6 million in federal funding to train young adults for 925 high-paying, technology-focused jobs. Also, the Mobile Chamber of Commerce has launched a new downtown incubator for tech outfits and a business-pitch competition.
Alabama recently created a new system called Alabama Works that will seamlessly link employers looking for skilled workers with residents seeking job training. Also, the Alabama Renewal Act, which came into law in April, has created a "port credit" meant to stimulate cargo traffic at Alabama facilities such as the Port of Mobile, and at airports that handle cargo. The 4,000-acre Mobile seaport is one of the nation's busiest.
And in a move that is clear to please CEOs who have produced a chorus of complaints about over-regulation at the federal and state levels, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin announced the first of what he expects to be many moves to cut administrative regulations since the launch of his Red Tape Reduction initiative. More than 500 of the state's 4,700 such regulations had been reviewed as of October, resulting in the repeal of 30 of them and the targeting of another 129 for repeal. Another 52 regs were amended and 271 targeted for amendment.
The reduction in state tax revenues from lower natural-gas prices has crimped spending on financial incentives by the state of Louisiana under Gov. Edwards, Gigerich says, after Gov. Jindal had lowered tax rates and amped up economic development outlays. But Louisiana remains at the front of the pack nationwide with its workforce-training program. LED FastStart uses a nimble, collaborative approach that stretches from high-school classrooms to community colleges to research universities to employers themselves to recruit, screen, and train workers. The program has trained 24,000 people at more than 150 employers since 2008 and has heavily influenced companies' decisions to site or expand in the state.

5 Cool Cats in the Wild
by Oisin Curran
Margays spend so much of their time in the trees, they've been dubbed "the monkey cat." Purestock/Getty Images
You've heard of ocelots, no doubt, even if you're not quite sure what they are. To help you remember, keep this in mind — they look like margays, only bigger. If that's not helpful, let's review margays, which are a little smaller than an ocelot and a little bigger than an oncilla. If none of these are ringing a bell, then clearly you need to brush up on your knowledge of South American wild cats.
None of the above-mentioned critters are particularly large. A margay (Leopardus wiedii) is about the size of a house cat but is spotted like a leopard and lives almost its entire life in trees. In fact, it's easily the most arboreal of all cats and consequently bears the nickname, "the monkey cat." Going monkeys one better, it has the incredible ability to rotate its hind legs 180 degrees, which allows it to walk straight down a tree trunk like a squirrel. Additionally, it can dangle from a branch by a single hind leg like a furry, wingless bat. It eats other tree-dwellers like rats, opossums, porcupines, capuchins, birds and three-toed sloths.
Unfortunately, that spotty coat is popular in the fur trade and margays are under threat from illegal hunting. Loss of habitat due to deforestation is the most pressing problem. That together with the fact that margays only have litters of one, puts this species in a very vulnerable position.
Most of the cat species mentioned in this article are dwindling in numbers (not counting the rare case of the Iberian lynx), which makes for a sad coda to all their stories. But we should also note that there are many, many wild cats we had to leave out, including the relatively numerous caracal (Caracal caracal) of central and southern Africa. It has huge ears with tufts of dark fur sprouting out of the tips like antennae. And it has a 10-foot (3-meter) vertical leap!

Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority and Delta Upsilon Fraternity raised more than $900 by hosting their event "Queso for CASA" in Lamberton Hall, which ran from 9 p.m. on October 3 to 1 a.m. the following morning.
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and the Global Service Initiative—Kappa Alpha Theta's and Delta Upsilon's respective philanthropies—were the beneficiaries of the money the late-night event raised, which drew students from all over campus.
Elizabeth Campbell, '15, of Kappa Alpha Theta said so many people attended the event that they actually ran out of food.
She explained the importance of the event as well as what Theta's philanthropy can accomplish.
"Whenever a child is going through the court system, a CASA volunteer can be assigned to their case by a judge to just provide support and advocate for their best interests," Campbell said. "The same volunteer will work with that child until they are placed in a safe, permanent home and their case is closed. This is important because these abused and neglected children often lack a constant adult presence in their life."
For $3.00, attendees received access to unlimited Mexican food from Moe's Southwest Grill. Activities included a photo booth, a piñata and a raffle for a chance to win $20 or $10 gift cards to Chipotle, a $20 gift card to Tulum or gift baskets.
Campbell said because Moe's Southwest Grill and Lehigh After Dark donated a lot of the needed supplies, most of the costs were covered, making everything raised at the event available to go to the philanthropies. Campbell said that they had hoped to raise at least $400, and the goal was clearly exceeded.
"I think it's a great opportunity to open up to the Lehigh community, especially the non-Greek," said Caroline Van Eyghen, '15, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. "We're very proud of the event we [organized]; it's different from what we're used to. It's very innovative and we hope people like it and we can do it every year to come."
Campbell said DU donated funds for the event, and helped plan and run it. Campbell said all of the money raised was split between Theta and DU philanthropies.
"They've been super great helping us out and we've had an awesome time working with them," Campbell said.
"It's great to raise money for Delta Upsilon's Global Services Initiative," said Tyler Sloan, '15, a DU member. "In January, as well as May and June, we will get to see that money go toward supplies needed to build school in Jamaica. Some of our brothers will get to volunteer for that and build [a] school from the ground up. It has really brought a lot of people together for a good cause."
Campbell said Theta normally does Kicks for CASA—an indoor soccer event—and hopes to plan this event again for the spring semester. She said throughout the year they also do projects that involve sending small gifts to the kids, sorting through donating books and making security blankets for children.
"This event is awesome because we're supporting a good cause and helping out the Bethlehem community," said Emma Rabinowitz, '16, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. "Helping others really makes us feel like we're making a difference, even on a small scale."
"It's cool to get everyone out here for a great cause and we're incorporating a cultural aspect into a philanthropy event," said DU member Bernard Brown, '16.

N. Korean film raises
By JADA GREEN
The Asian Cultural Society, in conjunction with Liberty in North Korea, abbreviated as LiNK, screened a documentary on North Korean refugees in China, Tuesday in Rauch Business Center.
LiNK is a California-based nonprofit organization that raises funds toward aiding North Korean citizens who wish to flee the country. LiNK representatives have visited high schools and colleges across the country to raise awareness for their fall campaign, Bridge to North Korea, through their screening of the documentary, "Danny from North Korea."
The film tells the story of Danny, the first of 188 refugees that LiNK has successfully rescued, after his escape from North Korea in March 2005. Like thousands of others, he risked his life crossing the Tumen River, which separates North Korea and China, in search of food, money and freedom.
This is—of course–illegal, and the dead bodies often found floating in the river illustrate the consequences. Those who are caught crossing the border face imprisonment, torture, forced labor and even public execution. Regardless, it remains the only hope for impoverished North Koreans to escape the oppressive regime of Kim Jong-Un.
With the collapse of the Korean economy in the 1990s, millions were left starving after the government failed to provide food and healthcare. Today, North Koreans are denied freedom of speech, religion and access to information.

'The Weimar Republic was a failure.' Evaluate the accuracy of this statement with reference to events and individuals.
Essay by alexbrewin, High School, 12th grade, A+, May 2004
Keywords Germany, German, Adolf Hitler, Nazi, Downfall
It would be wrong for the Weimar Republic to be deemed a total failure. Although the Republic did fail in its attempt to maintain a democratic government when the Nazi's came to power in 1933, it cannot be forgotten that the republic instilled a period of relative stability from 1924 to 1929. During this time the Weimar Republic was able to stabilise the economy, politics and international relations and it entered Germany into the League of Nations. There were a number of reasons both political and economical as to why the Weimar Republic failed in 1933. The Weimar constitution had a flaw which was Article 48 which could be abused by the head of state, this along with the 'system of proportionate representation', the death of Stresemann and the political prowess of Hitler led to the downfall of the Weimar Republic. Also economical factors such as reparations, hyperinflation and the great depression had a considerable impact on the Republic and the people's opinion towards the Republic.
Karte des Deutschen Reiches, »Weimarer Republik/D...
English: Map of the Weimar Republic in 1930.
Official postcard of the National Assembly.
The Weimar Republic was able to guide Germany through the initial years of chaos after the end of the war and from 1924 to 1929 Germany was relatively stable. The Republic had combated the crisis hyperinflation had created, and while still battling with reparations, Germany was once again economically stable. However as Germany would soon find out with the onset of the depression, this economic stability was built on false grounds as Germany had used short-term loans to fund long-term investments.
Germany was fairly politically stable in the years from 1924 to 1929; the coalition of the democratic parties held a majority in the Reichstag in 1924 and was able to maintain this in the 1928 election. Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg had been appointed President in 1925 and he was a popular choice.

His six sons murdered, his wife tortured and most likely dead as well and a broken community hundreds dead, while worshipping–and yet a human being of his conviction, who calmly spoke on the phone as his house was being bombed may emerge like Zaynab, the granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad, did from her dungeon in Damascus, after being brutalized and watching her sons and remaining family slain, tortured and beheaded only to eloquently stand before the usurping caliph Yazeed (the ideological father of the Wahhabist thought that birthed ISIS and Boko Haram), and speak truth to power.

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator and Democratic candidate for Vice President Kamala Harris celebrate outside the Chase Center after Biden accepted the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination during the largely virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention, in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were collectively named Time magazine's 2020 "Person of the Year" on Thursday, picked from a list of finalists that included the man Joe Biden reportedly defeated at the polls – President Donald Trump.
The Democratic former vice president and his running mate, a California senator whose election broke gender and racial barriers, together "offered restoration and renewal in a single ticket," Time said in a profile of the pair, published online with its announcement.
Following the most tumultuous U.S. presidential campaign in modern times, waged in the throes of a deadly pandemic, economic devastation and a strife-torn national reckoning with racism, Biden and Harris prevailed in an election that drew the highest voter turnout in a century.
Time editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal credited the victors with succeeding in "an existential debate over what reality we inhabit."
"For changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Time's 2020 Person of the Year,"
Trump, the 45th U.S. president and Time's 2016 Person of the Year – so honored a month after his upset election victory as the Republican nominee that year – was among three other finalists in the running this year, Time said.
The two others, both group candidates, were the healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic and participants in the racial justice movement sparked by the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The Person of the Year is usually an individual, but multiple people have been named in the past. According to the magazine, the title is one, signifying "who affected the news or our lives the most, for better, or worse."
Time began its tradition in 1927. Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg last year became the youngest individual winner of the accolade.
Biden, 78, who served two terms as vice president to Barack Obama, will become the oldest person to assume U.S. president's office when he is sworn in on January 20. Harris will become the first woman, the first Black and the first person of Asian descent to be inaugurated, vice president.
Trump, who has continued to espouse baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him and the rightful winner, is not expected to attend the inauguration.
Along with its person of the Year honor, Time magazine named the Korean pop group BTS as its Entertainer of the Year, and basketball star LeBron James has crowned Athlete of the Year.
The winners and finalists for various categories were due to be feted during a prime-time special television broadcast on NBC on Thursday night.

Inexpensive terra-cotta pots get a playful makeover with chalkboard paint; fill with everything from blooming bulbs to chunky succulents. Or use for budding seedlings — a chalk-scrawled note will help you remember which seeds you sowed.
Apply a light coat of spray primer to the pots. Keep the spray can equidistant from surface to ensure even coverage and prevent drips. Allow primer to dry.
Spray two thin coats of chalkboard paint onto terra cotta pots, allowing ample dry time between coats. Also, apply paint to the top and inside rim of pot, because these areas may still be visible once plant has been potted. Tip: Keeping coats thin will prevent dripping and will speed up dry time between coats.
Allow chalkboard paint to dry for several hours or overnight. Rub painted areas with chalk in order to season the surface and prevent writing from being burned into the surface. Erase chalk with a dry paper towel for a smeared look or with a wet paper towel for a clean look. Fill with a spring plant and use the chalkboard surface to label the plant, provide care information or simply as a place to doodle.

Red Devils drop opener Richmond falls in 2014 boys soccer opener Check out this story on pal-item.com: http://pinews.co/VAYAxk

Richmond kicked off its 2014 boys soccer season under less-than-ideal circumstances.
The Red Devils were down three starters before even taking to the turf at Lyboult Field for Monday's 3-0 loss to Mt. Vernon.
Still, Richmond put up a fight.
The Red Devils put themselves into scoring opportunities in the first half, before the Marauders used a pair of second-half goals to put the game away.
"We played with a lot of heart," said RHS coach Matt Haynes. "The heart is in the right place. We just need to put the pieces together, play a little smarter and we'll be fine."
Leading scorer Kevin Mendoza was one of the starters unavailable on Monday. Evan Pennington and Gilbert Rios also were out.
Haynes said Mendoza injured his knee during Saturday's scrimmage at Union County and is game-to-game.
"We weren't going to risk it," Haynes said of Monday's opener.
Mendoza scored 26 goals in 2013.
Mt. Vernon's first goal of the 2014 season came late in the first half.
The Marauders snapped a scoreless tie when Devin Nelson converted with about 10 minutes left in the first half.
That came about 5 minutes after Richmond's freshman keeper, Sid Sagna, made a nice save to keep the Marauders off the scoreboard.
"The turf was a little different for us. We hadn't had a chance to see it for a long time," said Mt. Vernon coach Aaron Britt. "It took us a little while to get going."
Richmond had its chances early in the half, including a pair of corner kicks less than a minute apart.
RHS senior Jack Mehaffie took both, with the first coming very close to giving the Red Devils the lead.
Mehaffie's pass found Aquib Mohamed right in front of the goal, but Mt. Vernon's defense booted the ball around, finally clearing it with just under 29 minutes to go.
"Sometimes the chips don't fall your way. We played our hearts out," Haynes said. "We just got a little bit tired. That's on the coaches."
Sagna made his first varsity start and batted away several Mt. Vernon attempts.
"We have a great goal coach ... He's been working with Sid and a couple others. It's phenomenal," Haynes said. "Some of those shots are just unreal that he stops. He's a pure shot stopper and it's just fun to see."
Mt. Vernon extended its advantage about midway through the second half with a goal by Logan Brandon with 23:42 remaining.
It became contagious. Jacob Thomas found the back of the net about 3 minutes later for a 3-0 Marauder lead.
"Once we got a half under our belts, it helped us," Britt said.
"That's what we talked about at halftime. The bounces aren't going your way, it's a little difficult to adjust to the field conditions. It's great, but it's just different. I told them to just keep doing the things they know they need to do."
Richmond returns to action Thursday at Muncie Burris, followed by a home game Aug. 28 vs. Franklin County.
"We'll watch some film (today), get them back to work Wednesday," Haynes said.

Where Were You When Quantitative Easing Began?
The Fed's asset purchase program changed the way American markets behave, and it began on this day in 2008.
On Nov. 25, 2008, in the depths of a once-in-a-lifetime financial crisis, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in partnership with the Treasury Department, announced a plan to buy up to $800 billion worth of distressed financial assets. This action, arriving shortly after frantic federal policy responses had already made trillions of dollars available to foundering institutions, marked the beginning of quantitative easing in the United States -- although the term wasn't popularized until a second round, known as QE2, arrived two years later.
QE1, as it's now known, was intended to remove a tremendous amount of distressed assets from the market in the hopes that clearing away bad debts might prompt freer monetary flow in what was then a locked-up economy. Consumer debt, including credit cards, car loans, and student loans, was given its own $200 billion program as part of QE1, and up to $500 billion was allocated to shore up the toxic mortgage-backed securities of foundering government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae (NASDAQOTH:FNMA), Freddie Mac (NASDAQOTH:FMCC), and Ginnie Mae. Another $100 billion was set aside to buy debt issued by these entities directly.
Analysts and market-watchers remain bitterly divided over the impact of the Fed's quantitative-easing programs. However, one indicator reacted positively: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI). QE1 ran until the end of June 2010, by which point $2.1 trillion worth of toxic assets had been hoovered into the Fed's coffers. Over this time frame the Dow rose from 8,500 points to more than 10,000 points before dropping into the summer sell-in-May period. Subsequent quantitative-easing programs have become so closely linked to the market's performance that many investors now expect a marked downturn in stocks once the Fed finally ends its purchases.


Fun, Sun and Bed Bugs?
FAIRFAX, Va. (March 6, 2013) – Every year, millions of Americans look forward to escaping to popular destinations during their Spring Break vacation. But whether it's fun in the sun with college friends or a relaxing family getaway, travelers may find themselves with a biting problem – bed bugs. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) encourages those traveling this spring to brush up on bed bug prevention tips.
Set your luggage away from walls and never place it on the bed. Use a large plastic trash bag or a protective cover to store your suitcases during your hotel stay.
If you see anything suspicious, notify management and change rooms immediately. Be sure your new room is not adjacent to the possibly infested room.
After your trip, inspect and vacuum your suitcases thoroughly before bringing them into the house. Consider using a garment hand steamer to steam your luggage, which will kill any bed bugs.
Wash all of your clothes - even those that have not been worn - in hot water.
"Many people might look at bed bug prevention as an additional task to add to the vacation checklist, but it could mean the difference between enjoying a great trip and having it turn into a dreaded bed bug nightmare," added Henriksen.
