Interesting you guys are talking about this. I was thinking about this recently.
My only concern with it right now is that only the FSLabs airbus supports it unless the pilot is using the (outside of fs) client.
One thing I am researching right now is whether the pilot can initiate some manner of request so we know they are capable. Since if they are not, using the pvt msg pdc would then be the main option.
So good idea. It's being looked at. However, until I work out all the details. I am not going to ask Dean to make it FIR policy.
EDIT: If anyone has experience with it or gains any experience or knowledge, add to this thread please. It would be most useful to know!
There's a Euroscope plugin for it (vSMR, https://github.com/pierr3/vSMR/wiki/CPDLC-Clearance-system).
With the latest update of the FSL A320 simulating realistic PDC clearance now, is this a good time for all of us to get up to speed with Hoppie and start using it when controlling? I have never used it but perhaps others here have and can provide some insight.
I'm a Grocery Clerk at the moment, but just applied to NavCanada and crossing my fingers that they pick me.

Stray From The Path announce new album, release new video
Admin 7/13/2017 breaking-news , Stray From The Path Edit
Stray From The Path is the sort of band that tends to address issues directly. Having that in mind, it's no surprise the band's new single is called "Good Night Alt Right" and comes with an assorted video. The track is taken off of Stray's upcoming album, "Only Death Is Real", due September 8th via Sumerian Records (pre-order here).
Needless to say that reactions on the video are highly conflicting.

Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan to become first woman, Black president at Lewis & Clark College
Dr. Robin Holmes-SullivanNina Johnson/Courtesy of Lewis & Clark
PORTLAND — Dr. Robin Holmes-Sullivan will be the first woman and first Black person to become president of Lewis & Clark College in the school's 155-year history.
She will step into the role in July after president Wim Wiewel retires, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
Holmes-Sullivan is currently vice president for student life and dean of students at Lewis & Clark, a private liberal arts college in Portland.
"It's obviously something that is going to be, and is, very meaningful to me and to our school and also to the young people who will be looking at me as someone who they can feel inspired by," Holmes-Sullivan said. "They can realize that they can dream big."
Prior to Lewis & Clark, Holmes-Sullivan worked for the University of California system as vice president of student affairs. Before that, she spent almost three decades at the University of Oregon.
She started at the University of Oregon as a clinical coordinator in the university's counseling center and eventually became the vice president of student life.
The Lewis & Clark Board of Trustees selected Holmes-Sullivan as president following a nationwide search that attracted over 100 applicants, according to the college.
"In these tumultuous times, especially in regard to student issues, I can't think of a more level-headed and experienced leader than Robin," current president Wim Wiewel said in a statement.

In Harry Styles' World, Led Zeppelin Is Weird, Bukowski Is Cool: Inside the Album With Producer Jeff Bhasker (EXCLUSIVE)

Producer Jeff Bhasker faced a daunting task several months ago. After having worked with Kanye West and winning Grammy Awards for producing Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk," and Fun.'s 2012 album "Some Nights," he had to decide whether to take on a new project: the debut solo album of One Direction member Harry Styles.
"I'd just had a baby, and I was kind of like, 'Eh, I don't know if I'll jump into this,'" Bhasker tells Variety. He agreed to have Styles come over to "just talk," and proceeded to put him through the Bhasker home sniff test. "My dog tends to bite people, and he was kind of scoping Harry out," Bhasker explains. Styles "did this move — like a little shoot the gun with his finger, and my dog walked over and started licking his finger. That's when I was, like, 'This guy has something special.'"
Once music came into the mix, Bhasker was sold. "He started playing references of what he wanted to do, which sounded like a cool rock band. I got it, and could see where if we pulled this off, it would be one of the coolest things ever. But he needed a buddy who plays guitar like he's Keith Richards." The insinuation being: Styles is the Mick Jagger in this scenario.
Adds Bhasker: "I'm so proud of the album itself, and also of Harry for being so brave, and committing 100%, and writing the kind of vulnerable lyrics that he wrote, and not pandering to what people thought he would do. People have no idea that this is what Harry Styles is like. Just like I didn't know. He's obviously very famous and beloved, but people don't know the depths of what an amazing personality and artist he is."
Variety spoke with Bhasker about the recording of "Harry Styles" ahead of the album's May 12 release:
You went old school for the recording of the album, sequestering Harry and the band in Jamaica for a stretch. What was Harry's main role in the sessions?
Harry got to lead the room. It's very much Harry's album and the music he wanted to make. And he was very specific what kind of ideas turn him on. He's pretty clear, in the coolest way, about what he likes and doesn't like, so it really got the album off on the right foot and finished on the right foot. In the first week, they did, like, 10 songs, half of which ended up on the album.
How was the writing process?
Everyone was involved in the writing. It was a really small team — Me, Tyler Johnson, Mitch Rowland, Alex Salibian, and Ryan Nasci, the engineer — and we stuck with that team all the way through the album.
Was there a lyric you were particularly impressed with?
I was pleasantly surprised at how witty, clever, and well-read Harry was. He actually turned me on to some poetry and literature that I hadn't been aware of. We dove into [Charles] Bukowski, which is some pretty gritty dark s—, so we'd say, "Let's make sure we go that direction and stay the course; let's not bail out and go with something safe." I think I did push him in a lot of ways, but then I wanted him to have complete ownership of it and to sing what is really in his heart.
There have been lots of comparisons of Harry to Jagger…
I think the charisma and the energy he has is on level with that, but he's 100% Harry. It's easy to make a comparison early on, but as people absorb what this is and who he is, they'll see that he's his own thing. Obviously we're trying to push the envelope of being a boy band, so early on, I was, like, "It has to be super edgy," but then it was about knowing when to pull back up against the edge and be real. Which is ultimately what I think we landed on.
See you at midnight everywhere. Hhttps://t.co/uvgPgTd9Ki pic.twitter.com/PX1tEJaVBe
— Harry Styles. (@Harry_Styles) May 11, 2017
How is Harry as an instrumentalist?
I'll tell you this much, the first time I saw him pull out the guitar, I was, like, 'Oh damn, he can play!' He has a nice stroke. He has a feel and a sound and an emotion. He's a real musician.
Clearly there are nods to Bowie and Queen on the album. Have you found his musical taste to be distinctly British?
You know, we did not once go listen to Bowie or the Rolling Stones or Queen. We didn't even mention them one time. But one thing that did come up was a song that felt a little like Led Zeppelin, and he was, like, "I never really checked them out." So we watched [Zeppelin documentary] "The Song Remains the Same," and he was, like, "Yeah, they're kind of weird." I was actually happy that we were not creating some pastiche of all these influences that he knew backwards and forwards, it was more of his gut.
Releasing "Sign of the Times," a six-minute-long song as a single, was surprising as it breaks from pop radio norms. Who played a part in that decision?
That was kind of out there. And by the way, the song was made in four hours, from writing it to tracking it. That's part of the reason why it's so long because Harry just freestyled it towards the end. We tracked it like that and it was kind of awesome. Once we had it, we knew it was a winner. It starts out with Harry's voice sounding so great and then you hit them with [the next verse] and you've got 'em. It is a hit in that sense, but it was so long that we weren't sure if it could be the single. Thank God, [Sony Music CEO] Rob Stringer said, "I think you go with 'Sign of the Times.'" Then, we tried to do major surgery on it to try and make a radio edit and presented it to him and, he was, like, 'That's cool, but I think we should push the full-length.' We were looking at each other, like, what planet are we on that the head of the label says, 'Yeah, let's release a six-minute single.'"
Do you have another track you're especially proud of?
"Meet Me in the Hallway" draws from this rich tradition of the past and of rock music but it's totally new sounding. Nothing out right now sounds like this song, I always love when I'm a part of something like that. It's minimal and it's magical. It takes you to another world. When they played it for me, I was reminded of when I was a kid and first dropped the needle on a Pink Floyd album I had never heard before. I'm not a big [pop] music listener. I listen to KLOS and KCRW and maybe the hip hop station. I'm kind of a classic rock dude. And Harry made a classic rock album. But that's hands down my favorite on the album.
One producer, one band, all cut in one studio. How did you know that going to Jamaica was the right situation for Harry?
I didn't, necessarily. He's the one that wanted to do that. Of course, having had the experience of working with Kanye in Hawaii and experiencing the isolation, I thought it would be a good thing for us. It's never bad thing to focus, isolate, and go a little island crazy. It wasn't a hard call.
What was the daily routine like?
It was a 24/7 music fest: wake up, do some exercise, go to the studio all day, come home, eat dinner, write songs back at the house, go try out some ideas, maybe get excited and go back to the studio at 2 a.m. It was just a nonstop flow of creative ideas, which was great.
Of the artists you've previously produced — be it Kanye West or the Rolling Stones — who does Harry remind you of?
It's so f—ed up, because I want to squash all these comparisons between Mick Jagger and Harry, but he really does have that energy where he's, like, the coolest guy in the room. After working with Mick, there's a similarity there. There's only one Mick Jagger and there's only one Harry Styles, but they both have that kind of charisma. It's like what life should be — be cool, man. Love one another."
This album is certain to appeal to the over 35 crowd. You're a first time father, was there an intent to try and bridge the musical gap between parent and kid by going with this sound?
I mean, a little bit. Of course it's in the back of your head. Maybe daughters will be, like, "Damn dad, your music is actually kind of dope," and fathers will be, like, "Man, that Harry Styles album is pretty great, I like that." Maybe we'll bring fathers and daughters together.
Harry Styles,
Jeff Bhasker,
Rob Stringer

Unisys, a company selling high-end Intel servers that run Microsoft Windows and compete with Unix systems from Sun Microsystems and others, has found two new customers for its 32-processor ES7000 server. Fortis Health bought three for its core insurance business, one with an eight-processor partition using Intel's new Itanium processors for analyzing numbers, Unisys said Tuesday. Itanium systems with Windows are putting new pressure on Unix servers, the mainstay of high-end business servers.
In addition, Unisys will collaborate with the Cornell Theory Center (CTC) on putting ES7000 servers to work in supercomputing applications. Two systems will be used, one with Itanium processors and one with Intel Xeon processors. The Cornell Theory Center also has a deal with Dell Computer to assemble lots of lower-end servers into a cluster that acts as a single supercomputer.


How Do Politics Affect Philanthropy?
There is no denying that the philanthropy is influenced by the leadership on the political stage. Who is president and what party they are affiliated with can cause significant fluctuations all the way to the core of non-profit organizations. The political party can cause a shift in several ways, including the amount of funding an organization gets. You may be wondering how exactly politics influences philanthropy. Yuri Vanetik discusses how the change in leadership can shift funding for organizations across the nation in the future.
When the country is introduced to new leadership, their viewpoints and agendas will likely differ. As a result, this can directly impact non-profit organizations who rely on funding to function. For example, two organizations may share the same vision to reduce the suffering from cancer, with one investing in ongoing cancer research, while the other one provides resources to families navigating a diagnosis. Based on the viewpoints of the leadership, the organization who receives funding can shift, based on the belief that a long-term investment, like cancer research, is a better investment over immediate assistance. While it can be worrisome for organizations when there is new leadership, but there are a couple different strategies that they can use to maintain their funding.
In order to prevent any potential loss of funding, organizations around the country should ensure they are taking steps to protect that moving forward. All organizations should not only listen to what is going on in the political realm, but should actively work to make Americans aware of what their organization does. Keeping a close eye on politics can keep them prepared for any changes. Additionally, having more support can help an organization retain their current funding.
Secondly, organizations should put together evidence of their success through tangible data. This could come from research that the organization has done that shows that their services are having a positive impact on society. By having data ready, organizations can defend themselves by providing the evidence of their success. Lastly, organizations should maintain, and recruit additional donors. If an organization were to lose a portion of their government funding, they can continue their work through the other donors.
In general, organizations around the country should always keep a close eye on changes in leadership moving forward. In doing so, they can work to get additional funding from other sources, reducing their chance of closing if government funding was taken away.

Want to have one of the best websites out there? If you look around you will see that the best websites on the web have a lot of things in common. While sometimes there is a certain amount of luck and timing involved, for the most part these sites are great on purpose. The companies they belong to set out on purpose to have an outstanding website.
Where do they all start? Here are five of the most common characteristics of the best sites on the web.
Great sites did not go on to a free website creation platform, choose a stock design, and start posting. No, the web designers of these sites looked at other great sites, especially those in their niche, and they tried to emulate them. How?
Color controls perception. The psychology of color causes a reaction in the visitor to your site before they even read a word or scan a headline.
Fonts matter. Like color, these set the mood for your visitor before they even get started, and commonly used fonts set off specific reactions. Blah fonts indicate a blah site, and that too lets your visitor know you don't really care or know about design.
Mobile is first. From the fact that more searches are performed on mobile devices than on computers now, and the Google Mobile First Indexing, mobile responsiveness and speed matter more than ever. Great sites know and pay attention to this.
Simplicity is key. The simpler the design, the easier it is for a user to navigate, the more likely the site is to be great.
If you are not a designer, hire one who is talented and understands your industry. Trying to go it alone without guidance at this point is foolish at best, site death at worst.
Great content matters not just on your blog, but everywhere from home pages to landing pages to product descriptions and more. Content includes photos, videos, graphics, and everything in between. Essentially everything a visitor sees is content, anything that is not coding or behind the scenes. This means all of this content must be well done.
Don't sacrifice one page for the other thinking it does not matter as much. All content is equally important when it comes to a great site, and anywhere you try to cut corners it will be noticed. Hire professional content creators and content strategists and trust their judgements. They are the experts for a reason, just as you are in your niche.
Once you get a visitor to your site, it should be clear to them right away what you want them to do. Do you want them to buy something, subscribe to your newsletter, pay for a subscription? Whatever your call to action, make it clear and concise.
Certain pages may have different calls to action. That is fine, and common with great websites as well. The point is that each piece of content, each page, should have a clear purpose or purposes. The user should be able to answer the question right away "What is this page here for? What is it trying to tell me?" This means you must have similar answers yourself.
If you cannot sum up your calls to action, your visitor won't be able to either, and they will not know or understand how to respond. Want to increase your conversion rates right away? Look at this first.
Your customers want to communicate with you, and for your site to be great, that should be one of its primary goals. Your blog content should educate through entertainment, and your landing and product pages should be well written. However, this is not always enough.
Sometimes your prospect or web visitor wants to get in touch with you directly. This can be done several ways. The first is that you should have form plugins for WordPress and well-designed contact forms. This is your customer's first gateway to contacting you.
You should also have a contact page with a phone number, email address, and even an internet chat option. These things let your customers know you are engaged and want to hear from them. These communication options are essential for your site to be a great one.
One of the keys to a great site's success is the ability for a user to easily discover it through an internet search engine. The key to this is Search Engine Optimization or SEO. A complex topic, SEO essentially boils down to making sure you have the right keywords, meta data, title tags, and other items in place so that search engines like Google know what your site is about and what each article relates to.
This helps a search engine index your site properly and bring it up in relevant searches. The higher you are in those search results, the more traffic you will get to your site. Typically the more traffic you get, the higher your conversion rates, and the closer to greatness your site will be.
Great sites all have some solid foundations in common. Take these five to heart, and put your site on the path to greatness.


Ahead of its public debut at the coming Frankfurt Motor Show, the Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster details have been announced. The open top version of the Aventador S brings the car's naturally aspirated V12 with 740 hp and offers the same level of blistering performance with a 0-100 km/h sprint of 3.0-seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h.
Due to the open top design, the rear end is unique from the coupé.
An engine bridge runs from the rear window to the tail in a mix of body colour and matte black painted carbon fibre engine bonnet blades; a transparent option is also available to show off the V12 engine within. Sleek, removable, hardtop roof panels, weighing less than six kg, are convex moulded to ensure maximum cabin space for the occupants. Finished in matte black carbon fibre, optional specifications including high gloss black, shiny visible carbon fibre, and further Ad Personam possibilities. An easy fastening system allows the roof panels to be quickly removed and stored in the front trunk.
The rear window pane can be lowered while the roof is on, while keeping it up helps lower wind buffeting and noise when the roof is stowed.
Five interior configurations are offered, featuring leather and Alcantara in single and bi-colour combinations and various stitching and trim choices. Further external and internal packages such as 'branding' and 'carbon fibre' are offered, with the Ad Personam program for clients wanting to customise their Aventador S Roadster even further.
The roof panels come clad in black alcantara on the inside, and offer an optional carbon skin package using carbon fibre fabric.
The Roadster adopts the four-wheel drive, new active suspension, new four-wheel steering system, and the new EGO driving mode introduced on the Aventador S coupé, tuning it for the open top's dynamic. The car has four-wheel steering combined with Lamborghini dynamic steering, updated pushrod suspension, new rear springs and magnetic ride control with variable damping. The suspension is specially tuned for the four-wheel steering, while the all-wheel drive is tuned to deliver more torque to the rear wheel.

Rudolf Kreitlein (14 November 1919, in Fürth – 31 July 2012, in Stuttgart) was a German international football referee, active in the 1960s.

England v Argentina, 1966 World Cup
Kreitlein is perhaps best known for having refereed the 1966 World Cup quarter-final match between England and Argentina in which he dismissed Antonio Rattín from the field of play in the 35th minute of the game for a second caution - dissent. Rattín initially refused to leave the pitch, arguing furiously with Kreitlein (even though neither man understood each other's native language) and the game was held up for several minutes until Rattín reluctantly departed. It was also during that game that Jack Charlton was cautioned, only to discover the fact the next day from the newspaper report. As a result of this incident, Kreitlein and Ken Aston developed the idea of yellow cards and red cards to aid on-field communication in football. Kreitlein, who had never seen the match, requested a copy of the game from the Football Association in 2006. Kreitlein retired from international competition in 1967.

Career
Kreitlein began his refereeing career at the age of 17, and soon moved to the US to train referees. He subsequently returned to Germany, where he tried to become a professional footballer. However, a serious knee injury ended this aspiration, and he concentrated on refereeing instead. Kreitlein's rise to prominence within the European game was evident prior to the World Cup. He had been appointed as one of the German representatives for the 1963 UEFA Youth Championship in England, refereeing the final between England and Northern Ireland at Wembley (his assistants were the Hungarian orchestral conductor and referee István Zsolt and the Belgian Mark Raemaekers).

Kreitlein had been a Bundesliga referee from its inauguration in 1963 but had only refereed 36 matches at national level before being appointed referee (in May 1966) to the European Cup Final, where he took charge of the game between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade in Brussels.

Personal life
Kreitlein worked as a tailor. He was married, but had no children. His wife died in 2008.

Car commercials are usually pretty boring and predictable, but these ten were very clever, and very effective.
Admit it, one of the things guys think about when buying a car is "What action stars have driven this brand?" BMW put Clive Owen in a series of action shorts with directors like John Woo to promote their brand.
We've all seen the auto magazines in the supermarket, with hip hop models leaning on low-riders and sports cars. Well Mercedes-Benz took it up a notch with classy shots of supermodels doing the same, emphasizing the luxury identity of the brand.
VW reinvented what Americans expected from a car with their legendary Think Small campaign featuring their cars taking up a tiny fraction of a magazine ad page, rather than a whole two page spread.


The London Police Service – "Police Check Area" is staffed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (8:30am to 4:00pm). Please obtain a volunteer letter from your head coach to take with you along with your identification.

Aviva Targets Net-Zero Carbon by 2040
UK financial service firm's environmental targets exceed Paris Agreement guidelines.
UK insurance and financial services giant Aviva has unveiled an ambitious target of becoming net-zero of carbon emissions by 2040.
The company's strategy for reaching its goal includes a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of its investments by 2025, which would increase to a 60% reduction by 2030, which is beyond the 50% cut required by the Paris Agreement. It also said it will aim to reach net-zero carbon emissions from its own operations and supply chain by 2030.
"As the UK's leading insurer, we have a huge responsibility to change the way we invest, insure, and serve our customers," Aviva Group Chief Executive Officer Amanda Blanc said in a statement. "For the world to reach net-zero, it's going to take leadership and radical ambition. And it is going to take Aviva to play our part."
Aviva said it will monitor its progress toward its targets through annual, public reporting, and that it will sign up to the Science Based Targets initiative so its efforts can be validated. It also said it will continue to use active ownership to compel companies to lower their carbon emissions and will continue to invest in non-fossil fuel project finance bonds.
In the near term, Aviva plans to stop underwriting insurance for companies that make more than 5% of their revenue from coal or unconventional fossil fuels by the end of this year, unless they have signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative. And by the end of next year, it intends to divest from all companies that earn more than 5% of their revenue from coal, unless they also sign up to the initiative.
Aviva's plan to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 also includes investing £10 billion ($14 billion) in assets from its automatic enrollment default funds and other policyholder funds into low-carbon strategies by the end of 2022. And by 2025 it intends to invest £6 billion in green assets, including £1.5 billion of policyholder money into climate transition funds, as well as £2.5 billion in low carbon and renewable energy infrastructure, and deliver £1 billion of carbon transition loans.
Additionally, the firm's office space will run on 100% renewable electricity by 2030, and its fleet of 1,540 automobiles will consist entirely of electric/hybrid vehicle new leases by 2025.
Although emissions reductions will make up the vast majority of the company's transition to carbon net-zero, Aviva said it expects it will need to remove residual emissions in 2040, and will invest in nature-based solutions and other options to accomplish this—including an immediate commitment of £100 million to nature-based solutions by 2030.

« Canadian Pensions Can't Quit External Management, Despite In-House Moves


Last summer's bitter debate over raising the nation's debt ceiling and how to control our growing deficit spilled over into the fall as the special congressional committee worked to devise a way forward. Because committee members failed to reach a bipartisan agreement, Medicare providers, including hospitals, now face reductions in payments of 2 percent per year over nine years beginning in 2013. This is in addition to reductions hospitals already are absorbing as a result of state belt-tightening and recent federal legislative and regulatory changes.
As Congress returns this month, it is more important than ever for hospital leaders to build and nurture relationships with their legislators. They need to understand the real-world implications of the decisions made in Washington, and there is no better advocate for your hospital than you.
As a trustee or commissioner, you are in the best position to help legislators understand all that your hospital does for the community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and the challenges it faces as it strives to continue to deliver those services.
Successful advocacy translates the needs of your hospital and community into messages policymakers can understand and on which they can act. You can paint a vivid picture of the impact that your organization has not only on your community's physical health, but on its economic health as well. The health care sector represents nearly 18 percent of the U.S. economy and is one of the few bright spots in terms of job growth. Hospitals are the largest component of this sector, employing more than 5.4 million people. As hospitals and hospital employees buy goods and services from other businesses, they create additional jobs and economic impact throughout the community.
As you think of ways to reach out to your legislators, remember that it's important to work with your hospital administrators to coordinate any contact with legislators to make sure you're speaking off the same page and not working at cross purposes, thereby confusing your legislators.
For more information on ways to become involved, and information on the most pressing issues, visit www.aha.org.
Whether large or small, a board needs to be tailored to meet an organization's needs.
Thirty-seven percent of hospitals perform cybersecurity incident response exercises annually.

Now's the Time to Apply for the 2021 NJALL Scholarship
Meet Kristy Khan, 2019 NJALL Scholarship winner.
Education has always been important to her, but personal and family issues interfered with completing her education during her teenage years. Taking care of family and work became her focus, working 50 hours a week for 20 years.
Kristy channeled her love of education by encouraging her 5 children, who all responded with their own fine achievements. With the support of her aunt, Kristy came face to face with the reality that it was time to focus on her own goals. She enrolled in the Bergen County Technical Schools High School Equivalency Program. Encouraged by her teacher, Jane Kelly, she earned her diploma in December 2018,
Wasting no time, Kristy immediately enrolled in Bergen County Community College, where her A's and perseverance soon won her an invitation to the Honor's Program and membership in Phi Theta Kappa's national honor society. In December of 2020, Kristy completed her Associate's Degree with honors and started to consider moving on to earn a Bachelor's Degree.
Thinking practically, she applied to Montclair University, FDU and Berkeley College. However, during the application process, Kristy was surprised to receive a letter from Columbia University, encouraging her to apply. She assumed it was spam and ignored it, but Columbia was persistent. They knew talent when they saw it and continued pursuing Kristy by email. Having received acceptance from all of the colleges, Kristy intrepidly considered the possibility of attending this Ivy League institution. It was their stance on non-traditional students that was most appealing to her. It not only offered an Ivy League education, but was created for students just like her.
In making the final decision Kristy began to think, "I don't want to limit myself, I do deserve this." With the support and encouragement of her husband and family, along with a merit scholarship from the University, she is now proudly attending her first semester as a Columbia University student and looking forward to completing her Bachelor's degree.
At first she worried about withstanding the pressures of an Ivy League institution, but soon realized that she was not alone and started networking with classmates. Although classes are challenging, her advisors suggested, "You need to think like a scholar". This has helped Kristy adjust to the rigors of the Ivy League world. Mrs. Khan is now considering a major in psychology or anthropology, with hopes of having a career in Human Resources in the future.
More than anything else, Kristy is inspired by her children. "I want them to do better than me." The feedback she receives from her children, shows that her return to school and achievements have inspired all of the family to value education and pursue their own dreams to the highest levels.
When asked if the NJALL Scholarship played a role in her journey, Kristy responded: "The scholarship was so reaffirming and gave me courage, knowing that NJALL had faith in me and was willing to help me reach my goals."
NJALL is so proud of Kristy Khan and all she has achieved. We know that the sky's the limit for this Superstar!
A Special Message from Kristy to other Adult Students:
"Congratulations on achieving one of your goals! It was a tremendous moment in my life as well, but trust me when I say, it only gets better from here. Whether you are considering applying for college or have already done so, remember you have an army of support behind you. NJALL provided me with much more than just financial support, it gave me a supportive community and that is worth so much more. They believed in me and had my back every step of the way, so, I know you will not be alone throughout this process.
College might be daunting for us nontraditional students, but as my favorite author said "fear is a poison produced by the mind, and courage is the antidote stored always in the soul" - Dean Koontz. So, always remember the power you hold because it will get you to the finish line. See you there!"
The 2021 Application is Available: HERE

Words and Writing
Worst Words: A Compendium for Our Times
Author(s): Don Watson; Helen Smith (Contribution by)
Dr Don Watson - with his trademark wit and wisdom - says enough already! The English language is complex and evolving, and can win minds, hearts and nations. Why don't we try using it?
Depending where you are on the change continuum, a quick pulse check will be in order and a scan of the forthcoming weather events before you move forward with your shark mitigation strategies.
Were any animals were harmed in the above statement?
The level of customer-centric vigilance remains below acceptable benchmarks and weasel words continue to fill our mailboxes, inboxes, ears and minds. Don Watson will make you cringe with recognition, and perhaps shame, and encourage you to rise up against this language that is obliterating all song, meaning and beauty from communication.
Don Watson's Recollections of a Bleeding Heart: Paul Keating Prime Minister, won the Age Book of the Year and Non-Fiction Prizes, the Brisbane Courier Mail Book of the Year, the National Biography Award and the Australian Literary Studies Association's Book of the Year. His Quarterly Essay, Rabbit Syndrome: Australia and America won the Alfred Deakin Essay Prize. Death Sentence, his best-selling book about the decay of public language won the Australian Booksellers Association Book of the Year. Watson's Dictionary of Weasel Words was also a bestseller. American Journeys won the Age Non-Fiction and Book of the Year Awards. It also won the inaugural Indie Award for Non-Fiction and the Walkley Award for Non-Fiction.

my mind is messing with me knowing that'll it be the last time probably that i'll probably never be able to eat all my fav foods. im sticking to it! but mentally it's draining on me.
It was difficult for the first 3 days for me, after that the hunger was gone. You're doing well sticking with it and it is draining mentally and physically. I was really tired on my 2 week liquid diet. I also stuck to mine because I didn't want there to be any complications because my liver didn't shrink enough, which there wasn't. The diet will really help to prepare you for after surgery as you will only be able to drink for a little while and you will have already been doing that so you'll be ready. Best wishes with your surgery and a speedy recovery.
Day 8 of mine. I will say it gets easier, but you feel kind of funky due to how low calorie your diet is.
I am on day 7 of mine and I'm ready to stab someone (not literally). I think my family is keeping their distance due to my grumpiness and realize why I'm a bit flustered.
To your point, though, I am of the same mindset. I keep thinking about never having beer or pizza or other things I used to love again because I will never be successful long term if I don't change my habits while the honeymoon stage is in effect.
I'm drinking so many fluids I can never be far away from a washroom, it's kinda irritating, however, the big picture is always on my mind when I feel weak. Just don't let yourself be alone during this time and you won't be tempted to cheat, hopefully.
I start mine on Wednesday and not looking forward to it!! If you all can do it, I can too!! Let's all encourage each other!
My surgery is the 26th. I'm pretty flippin miserable. The first 4 days I had diarrhea and the last 4 days I haven't had a bm. I crave something different every day. Day one it was chipotle. Today it's ice cream from DQ. I have my period rn - just making this whole journey harder.
My pre op liquid diet has been painful. A total mental struggle! I'll do good for a couple days then cheat. First cheat was bad on day 3, after that got better at coping but still have Small cheats. Not proud of it. I'm getting better and better but it's hard. I've lost 11 pounds so far so I'm thinking my liver is shrinking. I have 4 days left of my diet and will be following to a T. I know my digestive system needs to be clear and calm for surgery.
What i I don't get is why some people's pre op diet is not liquid until 1 or 2 days before surgery. Urgggg. So weird my doctor chose the 14 day liquid diet when others offer one that is just low carb low fat till couple days before surgery.
Heather - I am dealing/feeling the exact same as you. I've cheated, but only small cheats, except I had two slices of pb&j toast over the weekend. I researched how some other surgeons prescribe the diet and decided that I would stay low carb and have a salad with grilled chicken (on 3 occasions now) because I wanted to chew. The carbs and sugars were still below 10.
So with you Rachel! I had egg drop Soup today and a piece of toast with cheese (should have done without the toast) but considering my first cheat on day 3 after a stressful situation was Golden Corral I am doing much better at coping. I know the main goal is shrinking a liver. I've researched and losing weight In general shrinks a liver so I feel I'm still doing ok. Like I said though I'll be doing it perfectly now that I'm so close to surgery. How has it been for you losing on low carb? When is your surgery?
I am pretty much all liquid with only those couple exceptions. My tummy grumbles a lot. The day before my liquid diet began I weighed 237 on the scale at my clinic. I'm down to 230.
I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and I don't know what to do with myself. All I think about is food. Plain Greek yogurt taste horrible. I'm not sure what other yogurts I'm allowed to have. I'm always hungry I just don't know anymore. They say it gets easier on day 3 but clearly not for me because I'm miserable 😖. Any tips?

Gender Diversity is important in Computing – STEM
On May 23-25, 2011, The National Center for Women & Information Technology(NCWIT) hosted an amazing and successful conference in NYC: Women and IT practices and ideas to revolutionize computing.
#NCWITSUMMIT 2011- comprised of three days of practices, workshops, ideas, research, inspiration, conversations, and innovation. Learn from noted experts and voices in the fields of computing, innovation, and diversity; share perspectives with other practitioners; and celebrate the achievements of girls and women in IT.
Key Facts about the status of Women in Information Technology:
In 2009, starting and median salaries for computing degrees were among the top 10.
In 2007, a woman typically earned $0.78 to every $1.00 a man earned. On the other hand, Census data also suggest that women who work in computing-related occupations are better off, with a median income that is 86% of men's median earnings.
More than 60% of the 1.5 million students surveyed who reported no high-school computer coursework or experience at all were girls. In spite of these distressing numbers, recent data give some reason for optimism: Girls' representation among students with programming experience has increased four percentage points since 2005.
Although the percentage of students reporting no computing experience or coursework has increased gradually in the past decade, girls' representation among students with computer programming experience has also been on the rise.
From 2000 to 2009, women comprised 55% to 58% of the overall professional workforce. Women's representation in life, physical and social sciences and among physicians and surgeons increased between 2000 and 2009. Meanwhile, the percentage of women in computing related occupations declined between 2000 and 2009, with the exception of 2008 to 2009, when the proportion of women held steady.
Why Women Leave the Workplace: Research shows that five primary barriers often lead women to leave the technical workplace. These barriers to gender diversity are unconscious bias, isolation, supervisory relationships, promotion processes, and competing life responsibilities.
Women Tech Entrepreneurs a Minority, but Successful: In 2009, firms that were majority-owned by women accounted for 40% of all private companies in the U.S.54 Estimates of the percentage of start-ups majority-owned by women hover around 8%.
Female and Male Company Founders Share Similar Characteristics: In a study that used a stratified random sample of technical entrepreneurial firms, wherein 8% of founders were women, findings suggest that men and women founders share many characteristics. These successful entrepreneurs were similar in almost every respect, with only a few statistically significant differences.
Women were more likely than men to express concern about protecting their company's intellectual capital, to consider their own prior experience important to their success, or to consider encouragement by a co-founder important to their success. Men were more likely than women to feel pressured to be the primary family breadwinner.
Open Source Lacks Gender Diversity: While women's representation in computing is low in general, it is even lower in open source computing — only 1.5% of all Open Source Software (OSS) developers are women. Research about the participation of women in open source is just beginning, but there is anecdotal evidence that the open source community is less than welcoming to women. This may mean women are missing opportunities to make important professional connections, contribute to new software, and hone their coding skills.
