Obama's Troop Drawdown Is Little, Late, But a Start
Thursday, June 23rd, 2011
In Announcing 15-month, 1/3 Troop Reduction, Is President Ignoring or Responding to Public Opinion and Bipartisan Congressional Trend Against War?
The announcement of a 33,000-troop drawdown is more than we would have gotten from the previous president; bu though we're disappointed at the glacial pace, peace activists must keep pressing for a quicker end to the Afghan War.
When President Obama took office in Jan. 2009 there were 34,400 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In his first year he doubled that number to about 65,000, and then in Dec. 2009 he announced a "surge" of 30,000 more. Since August 2010 U.S. forces in Afghanistan have numbered 100,000. In announcing a drawdown of 33,000 troops by next summer, the president now in effect acknowledges that the counter-insurgency strategy favored by General David Petraeus is not working, or has reached its limits; American troops now will pursue a counter-terrorism strategy. Last night in a 13-minute address Obama announced:
. . . starting next month, we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year, and we will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer, fully recovering the surge I announced at West Point. After this initial reduction, our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace as Afghan security forces move into the lead. Our mission will change from combat to support. By 2014, this process of transition will be complete, and the Afghan people will be responsible for their own security. [transcript of remarks here]
But this will only bring us back to the roughly 65,000 troops that were stationed in Afghanistan when Obama announced the surge. And when our mission changes in 2014 "from combat to support," how many American troops will still be in Afghanistan? Our mission in Iraq, too, has changed from combat to support, yet we still have 85,000 active duty military personnel stationed in Iraq at a monthly cost of about $4 billion. (For that matter, U.S. military personnel number some 50,000 in Germany, 35,000 in Japan, and 25,000 in South Korea. How long does the government intend to keep this going?)

Q: How to convert a javascript object to json I'm trying to convert a JavaScript object to a json.
Practically I have created a website where you can upload a json, edit it and download it with your changes.
For convenience when I edit it creates a javascript object that will be converted at the end of the changes with JSON.stringify.
The problem is that the final Json should have the same characteristics as the initial one with the elements associated to the different key.
For example the first one can be this:
"tickets": {
    "use": "Valida",
    "useagain": "Valida di nuovo",
    "usetitle": "Convalida biglietto",
    "usemessage": "Vuoi convalidare il biglietto ora?",
    "purchaseconfirmtitle": "Confermi l\"acquisto?",
    "purchaseconfirmmessage": "Potrai convalidare il biglietto più tardi",
    "minutes": "Minuti",
}

The result must be like this:
"tickets": {
    "use": "Example",
    "useagain": "Example1",
    "usetitle": "Example2",
    "usemessage": "Example3,
    "purchaseconfirmtitle": "Example4",
    "purchaseconfirmmessage": "5",
    "minutes": "Minuti",
}

How do I make sure that all elements will be children of "ticket" (for example)?

A: You are looking for JSON.stringify().

A: According to W3Schools(consider following example),
var text = '{ "employees" : [' +
'{ "firstName":"John" , "lastName":"Doe" },' +
'{ "firstName":"Anna" , "lastName":"Smith" },' +
'{ "firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones" } ]}';
Here is your object,
var obj = JSON.parse(text);

Here is the link.

A: I think you want to compare two javascript object.
Try this url

is that what you are looking for?

Q: Functor demonstrating universal property of quotient spaces The universal property of quotient spaces is, as quoted from wiki:

The quotient space $X/\sim$ together with the quotient map $q:X\to X/\sim$ is characterized by the following universal property: if $g:X\to Z$ is a continuous map such that $a\sim b$ implies $g(a)=g(b)$ for all $a,b\in X$ then there exists a unique continuous map $f:(X/\sim) \to Z$ such that $g=f\circ q$.

I wish to relate this to the formal definition of a universal property (e.g. the one on wiki), which means we have to find a suitable functor $F:\mathrm{Top} \to C$ to some category $C$.
I believe using the functor $F=\mathrm{Top}_\sim(X,-)$ (my notation) works, where
$$\mathrm{Top}_\sim(X,Z) = \{f\in\mathrm{Top}(X,Z)\mid f(a)=f(b) \textrm{ if } a\sim b\}$$
is the set of continuous maps $X\to Z$ constant on equivalence classes, and a morphism $f$ is sent to postcomposition, $f_*$. Then we can regard $q$ as a morphism $c_q:*\to \mathrm{Top}_\sim(X,X/\sim)$, where $*$ is the singleton, and $c_q$ means the function with image $q$. We get the universal property:

For any topological space $Z$ and morphism $c_g:*\to \mathrm{Top}_\sim(X,Z)$, there is a unique morphism (in $\mathrm{Top}$) $f:(X/\sim)\to Z$ such that $c_g=f_*c_q$.

This follows the definition of a universal property and is equivalent to quoted version in the top, so I think I'm happy with it. I suppose as well that the same sort of construction can be used for universal properties of other kinds of quotients. Questions:

*

*Do you agree that this works / did I make a mistake?

*Is this the natural way to see things, or did I miss something simpler? In particaular I feel iffy about being forced to use $*$ as my base object... Maybe there's actually a way to use $X$ directly?

A: *

*I agree! The space $X/\sim$ is a representing object of your functor $\mathrm{Top}_\sim (X,{-})$. In other words you can exhibit an isomorphism
$$ \phi : y(X/\sim) \cong \mathrm{Top}_\sim (X,{-})$$
in the functor category $[\mathrm{Top},\mathrm{Set}]$, where y denotes the yoneda embedding.

*Now there are two correct ways to see $q$ (I'm not so sure about yours). The two correct ways are given by the yoneda lemma!
$$ \alpha : [\mathrm{Top},\mathrm{Set}](yZ,H) \cong HZ$$
(Take $Z = X/\sim$ and $H = \mathrm{Top}_\sim(X,{-}$)).
I like to call elements of both sets "yoneda gadgets".

*

*The first possiblity is to see q abstractly: it is your $\phi$ isomorphism.

*The second possiblity is to apply the isomorphism $\alpha$ from yoneda lemma to your abstract gadget $\phi$. This gives you... exactly the map $q\in Top_\sim(X,X/\sim)$. This is because $\alpha(\phi) = \phi_X(\mathrm{id}_X)$.

A: I think what you do works. In my opinion a universal property of an object is a description of the arrows which point out (or in) of that object. So what you really want to describe $X/R$ is a functor $F: \mathtt{Top} \to \mathtt{Set}$ and a natural isomorphism of functors $\mathtt{Top}(X/R,Y) \cong FY$. Since your space and your equivalence relation are fixed, it doesn't make much sense to mention $X$ in your functor $\mathtt{Top}_\sim(X,-)$. Your functor is not really a functor in $X$, is it? But else your description is correct. $X/R$ is a representing object of the functor $Y \mapsto FY = \{f: X \to Y\,|\, f \text{ respects the relation }R\,\} \subset \mathtt{Top}(X,Y)$. The quotient map is exactly the element of $F(X/R)$ that you get when you send the identity of $X/R$ along the natural isomorphism $\mathtt{Top}(X/R,X/R)\cong F(X/R)$. The data of a map $X \to X/R$ is exactly the same data as the data of a natural transformation $\mathtt{Top}(X/R,Y) \Rightarrow FY$ and the universal property of the quotient map translates into the statement that the natural transformation it induces is a natural isomorphism.


Whether you choose to live in your own home, in an apartment, or with friends or family, you need to have a budget to guide you in paying your expenses and saving for what you may want or need in the future.
To begin creating a budget, gather all of your bills, check stubs and receipts - everything that shows where you get your money and what you spend it on. This can be paychecks, social security or disability benefits, public assistance, utility bills, rent, credit card statements, car payments, grocery store receipts - everything!
Next, use the worksheet inside to write down all of the income you receive every month on one side and total it at the bottom of the page. Then, on the other side, write down all of your monthly expenses and total them. Now, subtract your total expenses from your total income. This will tell you how much money you have left every month to save or spend.
If you have extra money, you may decide to use the money for something you want or need, or you may decide you want to save some of this money for the future. Only you can decide what is important to you.
Ask your utility company to put you on a monthly budget. This will help your budget because you will be paying the same amount every month.
Use only one credit card. If you have more than one credit card, use the one with the lowest interest rate to pay off the others. Do not forget to cancel the cards you pay off and cut them up so you do not use them again.
Use layaways instead of credit cards. This will add an item to your monthly expenses but is cheaper than using a credit card.
Make a shopping list for groceries and household items, and then stick to it when you get to the store. Only buy items you need.
Only carry as much cash as you really need. If you have extra money with you, you might be tempted to spend it instead of saving it for something more important in the future.
If you decide you would like to live on your own or buy your own home, housing counselors can help you create a more detailed budget so you will know what kind of housing you can afford. Credit counselors can help you figure out how to budget your money better and how to save for what you want.

Q: Can I add a custom synchronous meta channel to H264 or VP8? I am new to video codec specs, so maybe this a noob question :)
I want to encode frame synchronous meta data with a web video. Is there a standard way with H264/265 OR VP8 to do that? What do I have to Google for?
If not, can I use off screen annotations somehow? So encode the info into certain unshown pixels? Will this technique survive encoding?
Thanks for all hints!

This is a massive document encompassing 147 individual bills, including mine on establishing a permanent fund for medical clinics in our National Parks. It reduces total federal land ownership at a time we can't take care of the land we currently hold, shares considerably more LWCF money with states which have proven better land stewards, and relaxes public use restrictions on 168,000 acres of federal land. I am greatly concerned about adding 1.3 million acres of federal land to wilderness designation which greatly restricts public access, but more than half of this amount is in exchange for opening up other federal lands to greater recreation and economic development and has the support of the local governments most directly affected. I am also concerned over permanent reauthorization of the LWCF without reforming it to assure that maintenance needs are met before we acquire new lands. However, it does provide for 40 percent revenue sharing with state governments.
This bill would invalidate the President's action to invoke the National Emergencies Act regarding the security of our nation's southern border. The President has invoked an authority dating back to 1976 that allows him, by making such a declaration, to reprogram unobligated military construction funds to address the emergency. It has been invoked 58 times since then, including for such declared "emergencies" as civil unrest in Burma and Sierra Leone. There are 31 such emergencies currently in effect. In this case, the designation allows the President to access funds to build a wall to secure our own country's porous southern border. Whether Congress should have given the President such a broad grant of authority is a separate matter. But as long as he has it, he has the responsibility to use it to defend our nation's southern border and uphold our immigration laws.
Our country faces two dangers that have proven fatal to other countries: the collapse of our borders and the collapse of our finances. This bill doesn't solve our border crisis and it makes our fiscal woes worse. It provides only $1.375 billion of the $5.7 billion necessary to complete the border wall at a time when 60,000 foreign nationals are illegally crossing into our country every month. Further, it hamstrings the use of this money with restrictions on the type of wall that can be constructed, confines it geographically, orders massive breaks in coverage and subjects it to local delays. Worse, it places new restrictions on law enforcement in trying to enforce our existing immigration law. Furthermore, the President has statutory authority to re-reprogram more than $13 billion in military construction funds for border wall construction without such restrictions. With or without this bill, he will still need to invoke this authority. While the measure doesn't solve the border crisis, it irresponsibly increases overall spending at a time when revenues are essentially flat, moving us closer to a trillion-dollar annual deficit which economists warn is risking a debt spiral and ultimately a sovereign debt crisis. Countries that can't defend their borders or that bankrupt themselves aren't around very long. This bill fails to defend our borders and brings us closer to catastrophic fiscal insolvency.
Withdrawing Congressional Authorization for Use of Force in Support of Yemeni Government: No. I am sympathetic to the concern of supporters that the use of military force can only be authorized by Congress and should only be authorized in response to an attack on U.S. territory or military forces. However, in the case of U.S. support against the Houthi rebels, the authorization was provided in the Authorization for the Use of Military Force approved by Congress in 2001, which covers the extremist elements directly affiliated with the Houthi rebels like Hezbollah. I have serious concerns about the way the AUMF was drafted and how it has been pursued, but invoking the War Powers Resolution, which hasn't been done since the Vietnam war, after Congress has provided authorization is ill advised and will negatively impact our credibility in the region.

"It sounded like something that might be more fun to read about than to observe: 2,000 pigeons swooping over the @bklynnavyyard, illuminating the sky with LED lights. "But on Thursday, the pigeons taught everyone on hand quite a bit about their intelligence, their ability to collaborate with earthbound beings and their beauty when airborne," writes @nytimes art critic Roberta Smith. The piece, "Fly By Night," was commissioned by @creativetimenyc and choreographed by the artist @dukerileystudio, who has been around #pigeons since he was a child. The effectiveness of "Fly by Night" — which @bysmith120 photographed for @nytimes — showcased the artist's bond with the birds. But it was the silence that was most striking. "Somewhat like trees, but more mysteriously, they seemed to make visible the wind's movements," Roberta wrote of the #pigeons in flight. "They also created a soundless music heard with the eyes, a Beethovian swirl of melodies and themes." #FlyByNight will be performed on weekend evenings through June 12. #🐦" By nytimes on Instagram.

VIDEO: Universal Health Care Activists Disrupt Industry Execs, Tim Murphy, The Body
By Tim Murphy, November 16, 2018
Amid an early snowfall on Thursday, November 15, on the sidewalk before a Hilton Garden Inn outside Albany, New York State's capital, about 40 activists from the Campaign for New York Health, an organization advocating for single-payer health care in the state, protested a conference going on inside among executives from the state's various private insurers, which the New York Health Act (NYHA), the single-payer bill in question, would put out of business.
The activists wielded signs reading, "Honk If You Hate Your Health Insurance" and "Big Profits From Pain? $hame On You!"
The second part of the protest happened inside, where four of the activists -- including Brandon Cuicchi of ACT UP NY -- one by one disrupted a panel in which executives from the Business Council of New York State and the national drugmaker trade group PhRMA were arguing against single-payer, in keeping with an anti-single-payer campaign they have launched called The Realities of Single Payer Healthcare for New York.

Wird die Nötigung nicht gegen das Verfassungsorgan als solches, sondern gegen ein einzelnes Mitglied eines Verfassungsorgans begangen, ist der Straftatbestand der Nötigung des Bundespräsidenten und von Mitgliedern eines Verfassungsorgans ( StGB) einschlägig.

Anders als bei der Nötigung reicht die Drohung mit einem empfindlichen Übel nicht aus, um den objektiven Tatbestand zu erfüllen. Es muss sich um eine direkte Anwendung von Gewalt bzw. um eine Drohung mit einer solcher handeln. Die (angedrohte) Gewalt muss  einen solchen Druck auf das Verfassungsorgan ausüben, dass sich dieses zu einer Kapitulation vor den Forderungen des Täters gezwungen sieht, um schwerwiegende Schäden für das Gemeinwohl oder einzelne Bürger anzuwenden. Sinngemäß muss es sich um Gewalt handeln, die auch geeignet wäre, den Tatbestand des Hochverrats zu erfüllen. § 105 StGB entfaltet, soweit er einschlägig ist, Sperrwirkung gegenüber dem allgemeinen Nötigungsparagraphen des § 240 StGB, sodass bei Nichterfüllung des objektiven Tatbestandes des § 105 StGB ein Rückgriff auf  StGB nicht in Betracht kommt. Möglich ist jedoch eine Strafbarkeit wegen Landfriedensbruch.

Aufgrund der Strafandrohung von mindestens einem Jahr ist die Nötigung von Verfassungsorganen ein Verbrechen.

Gemäß  Abs. 1 Nr. 5 GVG sind erstinstanzlich die Oberlandesgerichte zuständig.

Um die Nötigung eines der genannten Verfassungsorgane bereits im Vorfeld zu verhindern, gibt es im Gesetz über befriedete Bezirke für Verfassungsorgane des Bundes und entsprechenden landesrechtlichen Regelungen mancher Bundesländer eine Bannmeilenregelung. Innerhalb des umfriedeten Bezirks sind öffentliche Versammlungen unzulässig.

Q: handsontable .getData by div id is not working? I'm trying to get the filled data using the div id but it is throwing $container.data(...) is undefined.

<button id="app_id" onclick="json()">Json</button>

I have tried the following code to get the filled data:
var rowHead = colAr;
var colHead = dataObj[idname].col;
var data = [[]],
    container = document.getElementById("app"),
    selectFirst = document.getElementById('selectFirst'),
    rowHeaders = document.getElementById('rowHeaders'),
    colHeaders = document.getElementById('colHeaders'),
    hot;

hot = new Handsontable(container, {
    minRows:rowHead.length,
    minCols:colHead.length,
    startRows: 5,
    startCols: 5,
    rowHeaders: rowHead,
    colHeaders: colHead,
    contextMenu: false,
    outsideClickDeselects: false,
    removeRowPlugin: true
});
hot.loadData(data);

function json() {
    var $container = $("#app");
    var handsontable = $container.data('handsontable').getData();
    console.log(handsontable);
/*
    var htContents = hot.getData();
    var jsonObj = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < htContents.length; i++)
    {
    jsonObj[rowHead[i]] = htContents[i];
    }
    console.log(jsonObj);
*/

}

But it is throwing error, instead I tried with another option:
var cont = hot.getData();
console.log(cont);

This is working. But I have multiple tables so I need to get the data by the particular table using the div id, what is the problem in my code?

A: Finally got the answer
 $('#app .ht_master tbody td').each(function(){
    var text = $(this).text();
 });

A: use .handsontable() instead of .loadData.
HTML:

 Json

JAVASCRIPT:
$(document).ready(function(){
var data = [[]],
    container = document.getElementById("app"),
    hot;

hot = {
        data:data,
    minRows:15,
    minCols:6,
    startRows: 5,
    startCols: 5,
    contextMenu: false,
    outsideClickDeselects: false,
    removeRowPlugin: true
};

$('#app').handsontable(hot);
//hot.loadData(data);

$('#app_id').on('click',function(){
debugger
var result = $('#app').data('handsontable').getData();
});
});

Yeah, I was hoping to get some entered. The contest there wasn't done on site, and we wouldn't have had the results for a bit, so I guess I'm not too bummed.
I still think it'd be fun to hold our own event. But also, I was looking into Club Only Competitions, and there's some pretty good ones coming up that we could plan to enter.
too bad i was hoping to hear what the judges thought of the 3 finger. not sure it really matters considering how much we like it.
No... unfortunately we had a REALLY rough start to our trip out and we forgot the cooler of bottles on the counter at home. We didn't realize it until we had already made it to Minneapolis. We'll save up some bottles for other competitions.
so did the club get any brew judged?
Oh come on, that's no where near as good as the one with you and your condiment dog.
So that is what the back of my head looks like!

Snoop Dogg Wants Death Row to Be First Major 'NFT Label'
12 months ago C2C Sounds
Snoop Dogg is bringing Death Row Records into the metaverse.
After acquiring the legendary label, its new owner has announced that he wants to make Death Row the first major record company to operate as "an NFT label."
During a Clubhouse chat hosted by Will Weinbach on Tuesday (Feb. 15), Snoop outlined his plans. "We will be putting out artists through the metaverse," said the rapper, according to Billboard. "Just like [Death Row] broke the industry when we was the first independent to be major, I want to be the first major in the metaverse."
Last week, Snoop announced that he had acquired Death Row from the Blackstone-controlled MNRK Music Group. The deal includes the label's IP, trademark, name, and logo. It will also see Snoop acquiring the rights to the Death Row catalog.
"I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value," said Snoop, who released his debut album Doggystyle on Death Row in 1993.
On Friday, the Super Bowl Halftime performer dropped his new album B.O.D.R. (Bacc on Death Row), which is available on the blockchain in partnership with Gala Games. Each of the 17 songs off the album can be purchased in the form of "Stash Box" NFTs for $5,000 apiece.
This is not Snoop's first foray into the metaverse. In March 2021, he announced that he would be releasing his first NFT collection, "A Journey with the Dogg," on Crypto.com. He is also partnering with The Sandbox on an NFT collection called "The Doggies," comprised of 10,000 programmatically generated Snoop Doggs.

UVI Innovation Center to Spark Creativity and Entrepreneurship
UVIDEA club members present UVI's new 3D Printer
This spring, the University of the Virgin Islands made history with its first open house to showcase state of the art Innovation Centers. Outfitted with computers, work tables, white boards and a 3-D printer – from which actual models or product prototypes can be digitally rendered out of biodegradable plastic – the newly established centers are located on the St. Thomas Campus and on the Albert A. Sheen campus on St. Croix.
UVI President David Hall addresses students, faculty and partners
at the official opening of UVI's innovation center
UVI President David Hall referred to the centers as "maker spaces" in which students will be encouraged to gather, brainstorm, and channel their classroom knowledge into creative endeavors with entrepreneurial potential.
"So many of the technological innovations we now take for granted were developed by real people in garages and basements and back rooms throughout the territory and the country," says Dr. Hall. "When you're using something like a mobile phone app, it's easy to forget that somebody actually thought about this. Somebody put their energy into solving all of the problems that needed to be solved in order to make this application available and convenient to use. We want that same energy to exist here at UVI. Our hope is that we will soon outgrow this innovation space and have to expand."
"The Innovation Center is going to be a place where students can let their creative juices flow and know that others are there for the same reason," says UVI Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Camille McKayle. "It was gratifying to see the turnout at the opening and the sparkle in the eyes of those in attendance," she said at the open house. "Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship Association (UVIDEA) is a growing student organization, and I am sure they will consider this their new home."
"Investing in the progression of innovative ideas from our students will only return positive results for the university and the community as a whole," says Daricia Wilkinson, UVIDEA club member. She feels confident that the center will appeal to a growing number of young people as the semester unfolds. "The launch of the Innovation Center signifies the start of a new era in which Virgin Islanders will no longer be just the consumers of technological and innovative products, but also the creators."

Dr. Tim Faley, distinguished professor of Entrepreneurship and Special Assistant to the President, saw no reason why UVI should not join Stanford, MIT, the University of Michigan and other institutions that have already established thriving innovation centers. "The next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs are going to need both knowledge and know-how," says Faley. "Knowledge can be transferred in a course setting, but developing know-how often requires hands-on experience. That experience can be acquired in experiential learning programs."
The first such program emerged in the form of a $5 million grant from Kiril Sokoloff, the founder of the Research and Technology Park company, 13D Research (USVI) LLC. The grant established a robust, cross-campus entrepreneurship and innovation initiative at UVI. Under this initiative, the 13D Entrepreneurship Competition was created, in which any student who is enrolled in the university – though not necessarily full-time – can compete to win $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 in start-up capital for his or her business proposal.

Another business collaboration that is fostering innovation initiatives at UVI involves Leon Hughes, founder of the St. Croix-based software technology company Nearix. He believes that Hackathons – weekend-long events in which students work around the clock to find technology-based solutions to real-world problems, mostly in the form of website development or mobile phone apps – will help to promote a culture of creative problem solving among young people in the territory. Hughes began to sponsor hackathons on both campuses in 2015. Cash prizes totaling $900 have been awarded for the best hack, the most innovative hack, the most impactful hack and the most sustainability focused hack.

Sheen Campus .
The UVI Hackathons were such dynamic events that President Hall and Dr. Faley undertook to create a physical space in which the brainstorming and collaboration could go on indefinitely. "Our center is going to function as a working laboratory in which students from different academic backgrounds can pool their talent and work toward common goals, just like they do in real companies," says Dr. Faley.
Buccaneer Empowerment Seminar Helps Students Prepare for Future
Mary Myers (left) and Verna Rivers (Right) were two of many speakers at the first ever Buccaneer Empowerment Seminar (BES) on the St. Thomas Campus
January 28, marked the first ever Buccaneer Empowerment Seminar (BES), a forum aimed to inform students of the dynamics of professional development.
The three-hour seminar took place on the University's – St. Thomas Campus. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Golden Key Honor Society, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Student Government Association (SGA), who were able to have experienced professionals from a number of different fields speak to UVI students.
Each presenter offered tips and advice from their own experiences. Topics ranged from how to dress for an interview to getting your first credit card. The seminar also included, an hour-long résumé workshop – a time where students could talk one-on-one with a career service counselor on ways in which they can restructure, or enhance the quality of their résumé.
Patrice Harris talks about how to make
a good first impression and how it can
help you land a job.
The afternoon kicked off with Patrice Harris, the news director at WUVI – UVI's student radio station. Harris said in the past, she has had to persuade bosses on why she should get a position, whether it is a full-time job or a summer internship.
Harris then had a student (voluntarily) give her a 20-second speech introducing themselves and stating why they would be the best fit for their dream job. After working with the student for about two minutes, the student developed a great 20-second speech. Harris said that making an introduction to an interviewer comes down to two key components: having confidence and being persuasive.
Harris also expressed how important it is to make a good first impression. She emphasized that in a tough job market you need to make sure you nail your interview and capitalize on every opportunity you get
Career Services and Résumé Fundamentals
Mary Myers, a programs specialist for UVI's Provost's office, and Verna Rivers, the dean of students at UVI, hosted the second speech of the day which was broken down into two parts. Part one focused on acing the interview and dressing the part, while the second half focused on building your résumé.
In the first half of the presentation, both mentioned that everyone should have a professional email and not have anything inappropriate or tasteless on social networking profiles. On the contrary, they mentioned how "Thank you" notes are a gesture that can increase your chances of landing a job.
Myers and Rivers also talked about what to wear for an interview. They both recounted experiences where interviewees have dressed inappropriately or they have features that draw the interviewers away from the substance of the conversation.
"You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression," Rivers said, as she recounted interviewing someone with bad drawn-on eyebrows.
The second half of the presentation focused on re-tooling and improving one's résumé. Rivers and Myers shared tips such as not putting your high school education information on your résumé if you are in college. Moreover, they said to make sure you are showing future employers the skills you gained, and not just summarizing the duties of your previous positions.
"I got a lot of great tips from both of them [Myers and Rivers]. I realized that there are definitely some things I need to change on my résumé," said Mackenzie Lewis, an exchange student at UVI.
Following the hour-long presentation was a résumé workshop, which allowed students to sit down with faculty members from career services to ask questions or fix problems on their résumés.
Students work one-on-one with professionals from career services on ways to fix their résumés.
Becoming an Entrepreneur
The third presenter of the day was Albert Richardson, who is currently a financial manager at Scotia Bank, but is a former entrepreneur. He spoke about finding startup money, risk management, insurance options and even dealing with landlords, and how well all those things correlate with owning a business.
"The things I am telling you today are things I learned on the street and through my experiences. These are not things you will learn in school," Richardson said.
He reflected fondly on his days as a business owner, and he recommended it to anyone who is willing to work long hours and make sacrifices.
"At the end of the day when it comes to owning a business, you cannot doubt yourself. You have to believe in yourself and what you are doing, if you want to be successful," Richardson said.
After the presentation, The UVI Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Association (UVIDEA) and the University Innovation Freshmen (UIF) sponsored a 30-minute event on generating and improving quick business pitches and ideas.
Shayla Solomon, a projects coordinator at
Banco Popular, discusses steps students should take
now to plan for life after graduation.
Shayla Solomon, a Projects Coordinator at Banco Popular, rounded out the day with a presentation on financial planning. Solomon touched on how to open a checking account or a savings account, while also discussing terms such as APR, interests rates, and IRA's and what they mean and how they affect personal finances.
Solomon offered a number of tips on budgeting and how to build credit early in your life. She also assured students that credit cards are not a bad thing – if used properly.
"From this age, I want to make sure you are making smart financial decisions to help you in the future," Solomon said.
Each presenter at the seminar shared experiences and tips that are sure to stick with students as they prepare for life after university. From strengthening résumés, to developing a financial plan, students were given valuable insight on what it takes to be successful in the outside world.
The majority of the students at the event were members of the Golden Key Honor Society, the Student Government Association or the National Society of Black Engineers – the three organizations that put this event together. Next year, they are hoping the seminar will attract all students from UVI, so everyone can obtain guidance from professionals.
"I feel like all students would benefit from opportunities like this," said Mary Myers from the UVI Provost's Office. "There were some great speakers at this event."
Students receive a certificate after staying for the three-hour-long seminar.
At the end of the conference, all those who attended the seminar were awarded certificates. One student in attendance was Lisa Marie-Hodge, a junior at UVI and a member of the UVI SGA.
"BES was a great event. I learned so much from all the speakers. I'm thankful that these three organizations were able to come together and create such an awesome conference. It proves that UVI cares about their students even after they graduate," Hodge said.
UVI Bucs Triumph at Paradise Jam Exhibition Game
Students adorned the Sports and Fitness Center (SFC) with their UVI gear
and painted faces to cheer the Buccaneers to victory.
With a score of 77-61, the UVI Buccaneers defeated the British Virgin Islands All Star team during the annual Paradise Jam exhibition game, held Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015 in UVI's Sports and Fitness Center. Paradise Jam gives men's and women's college basketball teams a pre-season opportunity to test and fine-tune their skills while having some fun in the sun.
Coach Myron Brown gives the team a pep talk
during the 2015 Paradise Jam game against the BVI All Star team.
The Bucs earned an early lead in the game and held on to it throughout the first and second quarters, bringing the halftime score to 36 – 21. In the third quarter, BVI pulled ahead quickly and forced UVI to play catch up; but in the end, the Bucs sealed the victory.
Captain of the Bucs, John Nunnally, led the way, contributing 20 points to the team's win. Paul Watson and Leo Castillo both chipped in with 10 points apiece; and Steven "Ace" Watkins, forward, managed to block six shots and grab eight rebounds.
Coach Myron Brown has been conditioning the players since October 2015 and describes practice as "structured and organized." After reviewing plays, the players work the defensive side of the ball for more than half of an intense three hour practice.
John Nunnally seized the moment
for a dunk at the 2015 Paradise Jam
Basketball tournament.
The game included halftime performances by the UVI Treasures Dance Team and the cheerleaders. The dance team took the floor and energized the audience with their shimmering gold outfits and an original hip hop, R & B and Spanish infused routine. The cheerleaders followed with an exceptional rhythmic and acrobatic number, jam-packed with smiling faces, pompoms, and even more energy.
While the action taking place on the court was, of course, the highlight of the night; there was action stirring on the bleachers as well. Behind the dance team and cheerleaders sat a dedicated crowd of painted faces, blue and white shirts, and a placard that read, "What the Bucs." It all came together as a creative and exciting display of school pride. "I have dreamed of this during various basketball games in the past, and to see it manifest itself was very touching and inspiring," said President David Hall in his emailed community address.
What's next on the Bucs docket? For spring 2016, they will participate in the Liga Atletica Interuniversitaria, the Intercollegiate Athletic League of Puerto Rico. According to Coach Brown, the team's toughest challenges have to do with support – from the University campus and the VI community. "We hope to represent the University in high class model where everyone will be proud to call themselves a Buccaneer," he says.

Pakistan to provide free healthcare for trans people
By Zofeen Ebrahim, Thomson Reuters Foundation
KARACHI, Pakistan Jan 3 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - P akistan has extended a government health insurance scheme to transgender people for the first time, in a move aimed at ending discrimination in access to care, an official said.
All transgender people are now eligible for medical treatment including reconstructive surgery under the scheme, which was set up to enable poor and marginalised communities in Pakistan to access healthcare.
Prime Minister Imran Khan said his government was "taking responsibility" for trans people, who say they are routinely denied treatment and can face harassment or ridicule from hospital staff and patients.
Hospital staff often associate them with prostitution and HIV/AIDS, they say.
"It is part of a grand programme to provide health insurance not just to the poor but the vulnerable sections of society, including ... transgender (people)," said Zafar Mirza, a special assistant to Khan, late on Thursday.
"Any person who identifies as transgender is eligible for this health insurance programme," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone.
The insurance provides cover of 720,000 Pakistani rupees ($4,670) a year for treatment of all ailments, including cancer and heart disease, Mirza said.
It is part of an existing scheme that issues health insurance cards to anyone earning less than $2 a day, although transgender people will not face that test.
The programme is the latest step to combat the social exclusion of transgender people in the deeply conservative Muslim-majority country, where homosexuality remains a crime.
Transgender Pakistanis gained recognition in 2009 when the Supreme Court granted them equal rights, ruling that they could be categorised as a "third sex" on national identity cards.
They were counted for the first time in the 2017 national census, which recorded 10,418 in a population of about 207 million, though charities estimate there are at least 500,000.
Many live outside mainstream society, earning a living as dancers or forced into sex work or begging.
Zehrish Khan, project manager for transgender rights group Gender Interactive Alliance, welcomed the government's move, but said more needed to be done to ensure equal access to care.
Only fraction of the trans population would get insurance as those who had not registered themselves as third gender on national identity cards for fear of being stigmatised would not be eligible, she said.
"The scheme is good but healthcare providers need to be sensitised," said Khan. "Many of us resort to drugs and alcohol because we need psychiatric help and empathy to overcome the continuous harassment we face."
Aisha Mughal, a transgender rights expert and consultant at the human rights ministry, said about 2,500 trans people were currently registered.
"Only a few transgender people know about this and the first step is to spread the word," Mughal said. "It is just the beginning."

FeaturesFilm Interviews
John Magaro on 'First Cow' and what to expect from 'The Sopranos' prequel
"The real focus is on Dickie Moltsanti, who is Christopher Moltisanti's father"
By Beth Webb

For many, First Cow will be an introduction to John Magaro. In Kelly Reichardt's sensory 1820s-set western, the actor – whose past credits include Oscar-winner Carol and Netflix prison drama Orange Is the New Black – plays Cookie, a gentle soul with a talent for baking sweet, nostalgia-inducing treats. When he runs into King-Lu (Orion Lee), a sailor on the lam, the pair strike up a friendship that forms the film's beating heart.
Speaking with NME for the film's release, Magaro discussed his introduction to milking cows, why cooking is more relaxing than smoking weed, and details on his next film: David Chase's long-awaited prequel to The Sopranos, The Many Saints of Newark.
Hey John! Critics are raving about First Cow – did you always know it would be a hit?
"When I got the script for First Cow, it really jumped off the page. I don't think a lot changed from that initial read of the script; [director] Kelly Reichardt's vision was always there. [From watching her early films], I noticed the bravery that she has as a filmmaker. She's willing to have these entire scenes shown from a distance, where the dialogue is almost whispered. I was like, 'Jesus, this director has courage.' I was really excited to just sit down and talk with her."
How would you describe your character Cookie?
"He's an outcast. He lives in a rough, difficult world where ultra masculinity seems to prevail, and he doesn't belong there. But he doesn't have a lot of options, and there's a chance to make money and also maybe a chance to find something new. So he takes the risk of going out there, and fortunately he finds King-Lu, who is another outsider, who he's able to have connection with."

How much did you commit to Cookie's lifestyle?
"I will say that I'm not too 'method-y', I think that term is used too liberally with actors. What brought me close to Cookie was the cooking. During the shoot, I cooked in the style of that world. Beforehand, I was working my way through cookbooks from the 1800s.
"We were also really fortunate to be shooting in these pristine, untouched forests in the Pacific Northwest. A lot of the forest that's up there is less than 100 years old, so stepping into that world right away just transports you back into Cookie's time period. We would see deer who had no fear of man, and they'd come straight up to us and let us touch them."
How would you describe your milking skills?
"I'm a city boy so I'd never milked a cow before, but it's pretty easy. Other people have said it's difficult, but luckily, [bovine co-star] Edie was a very sweet and gentle cow. We formed a really nice connection, mostly through bribery. I'd give her apples and carrots, stuff like that."

What's your relationship with food like?
"I find that when you're away on set for weeks or months at a time, as opposed to coming back and smoking a bunch of weed and getting drunk, cooking is a meditative way for me to unwind. So I'll come back and whip up a meal."
What's your favourite meal to cook?
"I've recently been making homemade ramen and tonkotsu broth. My wife would say Italian though, as that's my roots. I can make a pretty mean pasta."
Michael Gandolfini as a young Tony Soprano in the new prequel movie 'The Many Saints of Newark'. CREDIT: Alamy
You're playing a younger version of Silvio Dante in Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark. What can we expect?
"I was a huge and still am a huge Sopranos fan; I had the poster on my wall in high school, and I watched it every Sunday night. Back then I was like, 'Wow, it's a cool mob show', but now I see that it's obviously so much more.
"Then I got to know David Chase on a film that we did together several years ago about '60s rock and roll [Not Fade Away] and we've become very close. He's like a father figure to me. I know it was hard for him to come back to the world of The Sopranos, but the script brings a lot of the dark humour, silliness and social political commentary of the show into this film."
What happens in the film?
"It's partly about Tony Soprano's roots – Michael Gandolfini plays one of the versions of young Tony, and he's amazing in it. The real focus though is on Dickie Moltsanti (played by Alessandro Nivola), who is the father of Christopher Moltisanti [one of the series' main protagonists].
"I will say that for those of us who had to play characters who were already established, that was a huge weight on our shoulders. We know how much those characters mean to people. I think everyone who plays those characters really does a service, and I hope the fans don't feel let down by that."
'First Cow' is in UK cinemas now and on streaming platform MUBI from July 9
