Senate Runoffs in Georgia Offer a Clear Choice

The races will be determined by whether Georgia’s voters choose to embrace and build a New South coalition or revert to the Old South.

Jesse Jackson

 by Chicago Sun-Times

On Jan. 5, Georgia will hold a run-off election for both of its Senate seats. The races capture national attention because control of the Senate is at stake. If the two Democratic challengers, Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. both win, the Senate will be effectively split 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie. If one or both lose, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell will retain his ability to obstruct the incoming president.

The races will be determined by whether Georgia’s voters choose to embrace and build a New South coalition or revert to the Old South. Georgia has been changing ever since the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The civil rights movement was anchored in Georgia, led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, the pastor at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Julian Bond and John Lewis, historic leaders of that movement, also came from Atlanta.

After the civil rights movement transformed our laws, Georgia began to change. Major businesses like CNN located in Atlanta, the city “too busy to hate.” Professional football and baseball teams could thrive, once their teams were integrated. Blacks and whites played together in college sports like football, with fans divided by the color of the jerseys, not the color of the players’ skin.

In recent years, Georgia has grown in population, in diversity and in sophistication. Blacks, Latinos and Asians grew in number. The college educated flocked to the Atlanta suburbs. This year, for the first time since 1992, a Democrat, Joe Biden, won the state in the presidential campaign, by a margin of less than 15,000 votes.

Biden’s victory was a fusion victory. African American registration soared, in significant part due to the work of Stacy Abrams who most thought lost the 2018 governor’s race only because of brazen voter suppression. The young, single women, the college educated, Latinos all joined in Biden’s winning coalition. They had to brave long lines and overcome Georgia’s notorious efforts to suppress their votes. Over 4.9 million voted, a new record, with 4 million voting early.

Now the choice facing Georgia is stark: between the sitting Republican senators peddling racial fears and yesterday and the Democratic challengers representing hope and tomorrow.

Both Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, are multimillionaires. (Loeffler is the wealthiest politician in Washington.) Both were caught moving large stock transactions in the wake of secret briefings on the pandemic. Both support Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Both oppose expanding Medicaid. Loeffler described herself in her ads as “to the right of Attila the Hun.” She touted her endorsement by Q-Anon believer running for the Congress. She was denounced as a “greedy insider” seeking to “profit off the pandemic” by her Republican opponent in the primaries.

Loeffler is challenged by Reverend Raphael Warnock, the distinguished pastor at Dr. King’s famed Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. He favors common sense in dealing with the pandemic, and bold action to put people back to work. He calls for defending the Affordable Care Act and its protections of pre-existing conditions and seeks to add a public option that will help lower prices and provide real choices. He’d vote to raise the minimum wage, to pass the rescue plan vital to workers in the pandemic, and to invest in rebuilding America.

Millions will be poured into these two run-offs. Neither Perdue nor Loeffler is popular, so both will feature negative ads designed to drive up doubts about their opponents. Loeffler has already sunk a million dollars into two attack ads labeling Warnock as “anti-American” and part of the “radical left.” Perdue has charged his opponent, Jon Ossoff, with everything from being a socialist to being a pawn of the Chinese communists.

They are following the playbook of Donald Trump: sow fear, feed racial divisions, and distract workers from the reality that they and the Republicans in the Senate stand in the way of making this economy work for working people. Or as Rev. Warnock summarized, “If you don’t really have an agenda for working families, I guess you have to distract working families.”

Despite all the mud, Georgians will have a clear choice. Will they respond to those sowing fear or those raising hopes? Will they side with those seeking to divide us or those seeking to bring us together? Will they support those who would revert back to the Old South or those who would continue its progress into the New South? The vote on Jan. 5 will tell us much about Georgia, about the New South, and about America’s ability to deal with the crises we face.

Pros: An intuitive interface gets kids into their reading simply and quickly.

Cons: Access is limited only to those with a Bookshare subscription.

Bottom Line: Although it doesn't contain its own learning content, Read2Go opens doors for kids who struggle with reading.

With access to a huge list of quality texts, there's a lot that kids can learn. Use Read2Go to provide your students that access. For the best experience, set up an organizational membership to Bookshare for your school and all eligible students. You could also consider sending home some instructions for parents on how to set up individual memberships for their kids. At school, you can install Read2Go on students' iPhones or iPads. Simply enter their membership information, set any individual preferences, and you're good to go. Help your students download their first book; they’ll be able to figure out the rest.

Continue reading Show less

Read2Go is an ebook reader for students who need help reading print. It's one of a number of ways to download and read books from the Bookshare Library. Upon setting up a student's membership, teachers are asked to determine and save just a few settings, like font size and the voice used for audio playback. Teachers only need to enter their students' information into Read2Go once. From that point forward, any registered student can browse and search in the library, then download and read books independently with just one touch. A search can also generate a list of choices pre-selected by a teacher.

Within the app, touching a book gives a synopsis. When students find a book they like, they can simply touch "download" to add the book to their device's library. Books are read with one of two voices, male or female. From the library, students press the “read” button and the book begins. Each book's table of contents is clickable and always available from a menu. Students can stop reading at any point and pick up where they left off, as well as add bookmarks.

Read2Go may be one of the simplest and most intuitive ways for students to use the Bookshare Library. However, it's important to note that Read2Go works only with a Bookshare subscription. Together, they provide any student with a print disability the same access to texts as their peers. In fact, kids with print-related disabilities may be able to select and read books even more easily than their peers. Once membership is set up, kids can download a book and begin reading with just a few taps. As kids read, navigation within a book is very intuitive.

Overall Rating

Kids will be excited to read books with the accommodations they need right on their devices. If they use Bookshare, they'll have access to thousands of engaging titles, too.

The app opens up the world of books to kids who have reading difficulties.

The program's intuitive design doesn't require any supports, but help is available in the Bookshare Support Center if it's needed. Read2Go is compatible with braille reader attachments.

Patient Segment: Individuals with Three or More Chronic Conditions

These patients are age 65 and older and have multiple (i.e., at least three) major chronic conditions, like diabetes, depression, or a heart condition. They may have a limited ability to do things like get out of bed, dress, or bathe themselves.

Struggling Sam: Sam lacks a strong social support system and has a poor relationship with his provider, leaving him feeling abandoned.

Coping Clare: With a strong social support system and an active coping style, Clare is able to manage her conditions and handle anxiety about her future.

High-Need Patients and the “Personas” Project

For patients with high needs — because of multiple chronic conditions, a limited ability to perform tasks like bathing or dressing, or other disabilities or conditions — health care can be challenging as well as extremely costly. Patients often report that their needs for care are unmet and that they don’t communicate adequately with their providers. A Commonwealth Fund project interviewed dozens of patients to explore their experiences and how their struggles to find support has affected their lives and those of family caregivers. As part of this research, we developed “personas” for different segments of the high-need patient population, including the caregivers attend to them. A persona is a tool that helps depict the experiences, motivations, and goals of a specific population – as well as the barriers they face. It helps to put a human face and voice on a patient population that is all too often seen only through a lens of clinical or cost data. Personas can help identify gaps in care or processes and can aid health systems in addressing these flaws.

It has been 15 years since Aaliyah died in a plane crash, ending a life and career that were only beginning to realize their full potential. The three albums she released while alive influenced some of today’s most significant artists—Drake, Beyoncé, the Weeknd, and many more. But you won’t find most of her music online. In fact, Aaliyah’s most popular, most important works—the albums One in a Million and Aaliyah, and late-career singles like “Are You That Somebody?”—aren’t available for streaming or sale on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, or any other online music service.

Digital voids like these can result from legal battles over uncleared samples (as with De La Soul), or from musicians holding out for better royalty terms (the Beatles, until recently). Other times they’re the result of ideological stands against the devaluation of artistic output (Joanna Newsom), or cranky nitpicking about audio quality (Neil Young). But Aaliyah’s internet absence is different—there’s no logic to it. It’s not an artistic statement or a play for more money, and there’s no dedicated Aaliyah-only streaming service in the works.

Instead, there’s a single, stubborn man, sitting on a catalog that includes almost all of her most famous work, as well as albums from Timbaland and Toni Braxton, and a trove of unreleased original material that’s never before been heard. The situation puts her entire musical legacy at risk of fading from memory. Year by year, streaming accounts for a greater portion of an artist’s visibility and reverence among the next generation of listeners. And he refuses to budge.

Pivot3 adds Edge Office SME/ROBO hyper-converged appliances

Hyper-converged infrastructure maker adds all-flash SME and remote office server-storage hardware with VMware hypervisor to vSTAC SLX products based on NexGen buy

Hyper-converged infrastructure maker Pivot3 has launched a series of all-flash SME and remote office-focused appliances called Edge Office.

The new hardware is based on the vSTAC SLX products that were the fruit of Pivot3’s acquisition of all-flash and hybrid flash storage maker NexGen early this year.

Edge Office is available in hyper-converged server/storage nodes with the VMware hypervisor on board and in capacities of 1.6TB, 3.2TB and 6.4TB. Up to six nodes can be clustered together, which means a maximum raw capacity of about 38TB.

Quoted I/O performance is 20,000 IOPS per 1U node, although this is for 4KB reads only. No write performance is stated in the supplier’s spec sheet. Connectivity is iSCSI via 1Gbps Ethernet.

The Edge Office hyper-converged products are an SME or remote office-targeted offering that add to the vSTAC SLX hyper-converged appliances launched this summer.

These were the SLX 50, 100 and 200, which provide 48 or 84 CPU cores and 51TB (36TB hyper-converged, 15TB all-flash), 102TB (72TB/30TB) and 144TB (60TB/204TB).

Quality of service is a key feature in the vSTAC products, said chief marketing officer Bruce Milne.

“QoS is designated mission critical, business critical and regular priority,” he said. “This guarantees resources to mission critical at the expense of the others where necessary.”

Read more on hyper-converged

Milne said the company had been supplying Fedex with preconfigured Edge Office nodes for new branch locations, with all data at these sites going on the hyper-converged appliances. In those cases, QoS allowed point-of-sale workloads to take resource priority over, for example, surveillance images.

Pivot3 uses erasure coding for data protection. Erasure coding is a method of data protection in which data is broken into fragments that are expanded and encoded with a configurable number of redundant pieces of data and stored across a set of different locations.

If data is lost or corrupted, it can be reconstructed using information about the data stored elsewhere. It works by creating a mathematical function to describe a set of numbers so they can be checked for accuracy and recovered if one is lost.

It comes with an overhead, however, so Pivot3’s quoted raw capacities probably need to be revised downward by about 33% for useable capacity.

Hyper-converged products are a rising star in the datacentre. They combine compute and storage in one box with virtualisation capability. They have emerged in recent years as competition to discrete server and storage products, and key suppliers include Nutanix, Scale Computing, Simplivity and VMware’s EVO:Rail.

Deputy Editors' Column

Taylor Swift, Alan Shearer, and me: learning from the COVID apocalypse

Alright lads, welcome back to the editorial you actually care about – the weird guy’s one. Going to jump into the best news of the year, Taylor Swift’s new album, folklore. First things first, I did buy a vinyl copy that won’t come until November, which is a great use of money. Couple quick thoughts, the album is incredible, musically, lyrically, just amazing. I was actually going through a major Taylor reoccurrence at the time, listening to her music constantly, watching live performances, watching Miss Americana, so to, out of the blue, hear she had a new album was amazing. Even better was to hear one of my favourite musicians, Bon Iver, had a song with her, and commensurate with expectations, it’s one of my favourite songs ever.

In other news, the Saudi Arabia-led takeover of Newcastle United failed, and I genuinely cried when I heard it. I have a deep, deep dislike for the Premier League’s actions and the way they handled this. I was advised that stronger words would not be becoming of Concrete, but I will say briefly that I feel they mistreated Newcastle, its fans, and the buyers, and even though said buyers weren’t perfect, I was excited for the possibility of my club being legitimately good. Football has brought great displeasure to my life, in between brief moments of great ecstasy, and that seems like it will continue. Very similar to my Kanye West love. As a result of this news, I spent about 3 days just watching Newcastle highlights from years past. I watched the 5-0 against Man Utd from 1996, saw when we came back from 0-4 to draw Arsenal 4-4. I watched Alan Shearer constantly. In case anyone knows him, please put me in touch, I’d love an interview.

I also played a lot of football manager, I’m currently in charge of Swedish 4th division side, Torslanda IK. We’ve got a real penchant for come from behind victories, 0-2 to 3-2, 1-1 to 4-1. We’re storming to promotion to the Swedish First Division (actually the third tier) and I’m excited to see what the squad can do.

I think the message of this editorial is simple. We had arguably the worst year in recent history and then Taylor Swift dropped an absolutely magical album that will probably break my heart for years to come. Newcastle were 4-0 down at half time, and then “BOOM BOOM CHEICK CHEICK THE ROOM” happened and we somehow managed to come fifth after being in the championship two years earlier. And Torslanda were 2-0 down and then the magic of Zlatan Krizanovic managed to get us the vital three points to get to top of the league. The fact is, it’s not over till the clock runs out, before then, anything can happen. At least that’s what I’m telling myself every time I look at Mike Ashley’s face. Which happens quite regularly in my nightmares.

JetSpray at Aston Martin

Condair has installed JetSpray humidification systems into the finishing areas at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell and Bloxham plants. By maintaining a level of humidity at 55%RH, any dust that is in the atmosphere around the cars is suppressed, giving a much finer finish during the painting and sanding processes. The evaporating water also produces a powerful cooling effect on the air, which benefits the workers and reduces air conditioning costs.

The JetSpray system consists of a series of atomising nozzles that produce fine sprays of moisture directly into the air. The sprays have an average droplet size of just 7.5m and instantly evaporate, raising the humidity. A self-cleaning mechanism ensures that the nozzles can’t become blocked and need very little maintenance. With no drips or droplets, no requirement to heat the water, and therefore very low running costs, the JetSpray system is ideal for busy industrial environments and can be used with mains, demineralised or softened water.

Aston Martin has grown over the last 80 years to become a world-renowned manufacturer of the finest, exclusive, luxury sports cars. The Newport Pagnell plant is its traditional base manufacturing the flagship model - The Vanquish V12 - with its 460bhp, 6 litre, 48 valve and V12 engine. The newer Bloxham plant produces the superb DB7 Vantage Volante and Coupé.

The JetSpray system installed at the Newport Pagnell plant consisted of 24 nozzles releasing 108 litres of water into the atmosphere around the cars every hour. The installation at Bloxham was even larger, with a total of 68 nozzles pumping out 250 litres of water per hour.

Alan Darrock at Aston Martin, comments, “We need a reliable, effective humidification system to ensure that we can achieve the utmost finish to our cars. Since the new equipment was installed we have seen improvement in the quality of the paint finish, and our workforce now keep the doors closed. We have been more than pleased with the service and skill that Condair offers and will be using them in other production areas.”

North Carolina waitress accused of theft in alleged tip scheme

Many people in North Carolina and across the country try to support themselves by working as servers in the food industry. Unfortunately, wages are low, and servers are often left dependent upon their customers to provide them with tips. However, law enforcement officials believe that one server committed theft in a plan to obtain additional tip money.

Man faces drug charges, among others, in North Carolina chase

A confrontation with police officers is often nerve-wracking even if only a minor infraction has occurred. Unfortunately, when faced with such a predicament, many people may panic and react in a way that could make life more complicated for them. In fact, a man in North Carolina was recently arrested on drug charges -- among others -- after police say he led them on a chase.

Early morning June 29, Brig. Gen. August Kautz's division reached Ream's Station on the Weldon Railroad, which was thought to be held by Union infantry. Instead, Kautz found the road barred by Mahone's Confederate infantry division. Wilson's division, fighting against elements of William H.F. “Rooney” Lee's cavalry, joined Kautz's near Ream's Station, where they were virtually surrounded. About noon, Mahone's infantry assaulted their front while Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry division threatened the Union left flank. The raiders burned their wagons and abandoned their artillery. Separated by the Confederate attacks, Wilson and his men cut their way through and fled south on the Stage Road to cross Nottoway River, while Kautz went cross-country, reaching Federal lines at Petersburg about dark. Wilson continued east to the Blackwater River before turning north, eventually reaching Union lines at Light House Point on July 2. The Wilson-Kautz raid tore up more than 60 miles of track, temporarily disrupting rail traffic into Petersburg, but at a great cost in men and mounts. (NPS summary)

Although Bernd thinks this move is "only" a Taka, we think there is plenty of air and the moves deserves to be named Air Taka. What do you think?

The latest resilience news from around the world

Basel Committee publishes work programme and strategic priorities for 2021-22 – op res on the agenda

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has set out its work programme for 2021-22, this includes a focus on pandemic response and recovery and operational resilience regulation.

The work programme sets out the strategic priorities for the Committee over the coming year and reflects the outcome of a recent strategic review by the Committee to ensure that it continues to effectively promote global financial stability and strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management practices of banks worldwide.

The work programme, which was recently endorsed by the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS), the oversight body of the Committee, focuses on three key themes:

  • COVID-19 resilience and recovery: including the ongoing monitoring and assessment of risks and vulnerabilities to the global banking system. Where deemed relevant, the Committee stands ready to deploy additional policy and/or supervisory measures to mitigate these risks.
  • Horizon scanning and mitigation of medium-term risks and trends: the Committee will ‘pursue a forward-looking approach to identifying, assessing and mitigating medium-term risks and structural trends to the banking system’. This will include work related to the ongoing digitalisation of finance, climate-related financial risks, and the impact on banks' business models resulting from a ‘low-for-long’ interest rate environment.
  • Strengthening supervisory coordination and practices: The Committee will pursue a range of initiatives aimed at strengthening supervisory coordination and practices, with a focus on the role of artificial intelligence / machine learning in banking and supervision, data and technology governance by banks, operational resilience, and the role of proportionality in bank regulation and supervision.

Operational resilience work will cover ‘insights and supervisory approaches on operational resilience, with a particular focus on cyber security’.

Here’s a business with a real USP

Posted on 21/12/2012 by Karen

One of the basics of writing copy is to find your business’s USP (Unique Selling Point) and tell everyone about it. Most businesses don’t really have a USP and it’s getting harder and harder to get noticed amongst all the advertising ‘noise’ out there. But sometimes, you see a statement that just stands out. This van for The Hot Water Doctor is an example.

Service within the hour. That would be nice at some of the stores I have gone into lately, but for a plumber! Amazing. Everyone knows how hard it is to get a plumber, or any tradie actually, out to your place. Everyone has a story to tell about how they had to take the whole day off because nobody could give them a definite time that they would rock up. So to have a tagline like this, seems to me to be a pretty big deal.

Marigold Extract Photoprotection Breakthrough

Contact Author Jennifer Novoseletsky
Fill out my online form.

Located in Des Moines, Iowa, cosmetic ingredient supplier Kemin reported new in vitro studies confirm the blue-light-absorbing capacity of its marigold-derived FloraGLO Lutein Topical (INCI: Xanthophyll) product.

High-energy visible (HEV) light, also known as blue light, comprises natural light and man-made light to which humans are regularly exposed, particularly from electronic screens. Studies of the ingredient at different concentrations found it effectively shielded skin against HEV light.

According to Kemin, the study measured "the cell viability as the percentage proliferation of metabolically active human epidermal keratinocytes and human dermal fibroblasts exposed to blue light for nine hours, and the intracellular reactive oxygen species released in cells, in response to blue light exposure."

"[P]rotecting the skin against harmful blue light rays could be an indispensable way to reduce the inevitable skin damage from visible light and an introduction to a new need in the beauty regimen to protect skin from full solar spectrum damages,” said Satish Nayak, Ph.D., research and development director for the personal care division at Kemin Industries, in a press statement.

Teeth Whitening

A smile is often considered to be one of the most powerful gestures that we can make. A small, shy smile to a full-on grin can convey a multitude of messages to those around us. However, in order to feel that we can share this with others, we need to be confident and secure in the appearance of our teeth. With day to day activities such as eating, drinking and habits such as smoking all taking their toll on the color of our teeth, it is little wonder that some of us prefer to do whatever we can to avoid drawing attention to our mouths and smile much less than we should.

Tooth discoloration affects most people during their lifetime. If your teeth are badly discolored or have staining, you may feel self-conscious or embarrassed about their appearance and this could be holding you back from living life to the fullest. Fortunately, there is a way that you can enjoy the whiter, brighter smile that is so desirable in the 21st century. This treatment is professional teeth whitening.

What is professional teeth whitening?

There are countless products available that claim to be able to lighten and brighten the color of our teeth. However, the results that these produce are usually mediocre and short-lived. Professional teeth whitening, which is carried out by a trained and experienced cosmetic dentist, has been proven time and time again to produce the most effective, consistent and long-lasting results of any tooth whitening treatment.

Professional teeth whitening is carried out in the comfort of our offices. Once you are settled into our chair, we use a high-grade bleaching agent that are only available to registered professionals and apply these consistently across your smile. Special molds and covers are used to protect your lips, gums and inside of your mouth from the bleaching agent, which could cause irritation if it comes into contact with the soft tissues inside your mouth. Once the bleach has been consistently applied, a special light is used to activate components within it to break down stains and discoloration and lighten the teeth. During this time, you will be able to relax with a book or listen to music. Once the session is complete, we will remove all traces of the bleach and you will be able to rinse your mouth and go back to your usual activities.

Each tooth whitening treatment plan is tailored to each individual patient. This will consist of a number of short visits to our offices, although the exact number of sessions needed will be determined by how white you wish your teeth to be, the color they are when you start and how well they respond to the treatment. Each session is painless and can usually be completed during a lunch break.

If your teeth are stained from the inside out, such as in the case of damage to the interior nerves that has caused discoloration, the bleaching agent may be placed inside the tooth via a small, drilled hole. This is then covered with a temporary filling.

What causes tooth discoloration and staining?

Most people don’t realize that our teeth naturally darken as we get older. However, there are many other different factors that can contribute to tooth discoloration and staining Some of the most common include:

  • Smoking. Nicotine is the number one biggest contributor to yellowing teeth, not to mention being very bad for your gums and a key cause of gum disease.

  • Eating/drinking products that contain tannins, for example red wine, coffee, carrots and oranges

  • Regular use of antibiotics during adolescence

  • Exposure to high levels of fluoride

  • Damage to the nerves or blood vessels inside the root canal

  • Decay

  • Trauma to the tooth such as a blunt force impact

Why choose professional teeth whitening?

Although there are plenty of products available to buy both over the counter and online that make claims to be able to improve the color of your teeth, there are several reasons why professional whitening is the preferred choice of patients who are hoping to achieve the best possible results.

  • Greater consistency. Professional application of the bleaching agent means that you get greater consistency of the results across your smile.

  • Fewer sessions needed. Since a higher grade of bleaching agent can be used, fewer sessions are normally needed to help patients achieve the desired result.

  • Less irritation and soreness. Professional application and the tools used to protect the soft tissues of your mouth means that patients experience less irritation and soreness associated with the bleaching agent coming into contact with the skin.

  • Choose your desired shade. With professional whitening, you can aim for a specific shade of whiteness and we will help you to discover what is a realistic goal for your treatment.

  • Easier to maintain results. Usually, over-the-counter whitening solutions require ongoing use to maintain your results. However, with care it is possible for patients to enjoy an improvement in the color of their smile for months or years at a time without further treatment required.

If you are dissatisfied with the color of your teeth and are considering a tooth whitening procedure to enhance them and restore confidence in your smile, we’d be delighted to help. Please get in touch with our family dentistry office in Covington, LA or call us at 985-400-2730.

Course Description

See why this is one of the TOP-RATED Excel courses on Udemy:
"At first I just said to myself, "Wow, Excel is capable of that? It's amazing!" Then as I continued through the course I told myself "This guy is doing magic!", and now I feel like I'm capable of doing the same. I'm definitely buying his other Excel courses!"
- Judit Bekker
"One of the very best Excel classes I've taken - great instructor, awesome production, very comprehensive and exceptionally useful. Well worth your time if you want to become an Excel pro!"
- Ernie Atkins
"I've been using Excel for over 20 years and consider myself to be an Excel "power user". As with every single course by Chris, I go in with pretty solid knowledge of the material (formulas, VBA, Power Query, etc) and walk out twice as powerful as I walked in. This course is no different -- I PROMISE you, you will find absolute gems in this course. You will never regret an investment in your future with Maven Analytics!"
-Ryan Hughes
This course is NOT an introduction to Excel.
It's not about comprehensive, 101-style deep dives into Excel's core capabilities, or about showing off cheesy, impractical Excel "hacks". It's about featuring some of the most powerful and effective tools and techniques used by Excel professionals, and sharing them through crystal clear demos and unique, real-world case studies.
Unlike most Excel courses, this one is non-linear and constantly evolving. This means that you can jump to different sections or individual lectures freely, and explore brand new Excel tips added on a regular basis. Each video is designed to be an independent and self-contained Excel demo, to help you learn these tools and techniques in quick, bite-sized lessons.
The best part? I'm including a downloadable Excel workbook and solution file containing every single Excel demo and dataset covered in the course -- ranked by difficulty (1-5 stars), organized by category, and hyperlinked for quick and easy access.
The Excel tips and techniques covered in this course fall into six categories:
  • Excel Productivity Tips (navigation, flash fill, cell protection, advanced sorting & filtering, etc.)
  • Excel Formatting Tips (freeze panes, row/column grouping, advanced custom formats, etc.)
  • Excel Formula Tips (formula auditing tools, fuzzy lookups, detecting duplicates, randomization, etc.)
  • Excel Visualization Tips (sparklines, filled maps, custom templates, Excel form controls, etc.)
  • Excel Pivot Table Tips (slicers & timelines, custom layouts, value calculations, etc.)
  • Excel Analytics Tips (outlier detection, monte carlo simulation, forecasting, CUBE functions, etc.)
While the level of difficulty varies considerably, the Excel demos generally start simple and become progressively more complex within each section. There are no strict prerequisites for this course, but keep in mind that some demos may be challenging without a strong foundational knowledge of the underlying Excel concepts (like Excel Pivot Tables or formulas, for example).
Students who have completed the full Maven Analytics Excel stack will be well-positioned to maximize the value from this course:
  • Advanced Excel Formulas & Functions
  • Data Visualization with Excel Charts & Graphs
  • Data Analysis with Excel Pivot Tables
  • Excel Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX
It's time to start working smarter, not harder. If you're looking to maximize your efficiency, supercharge your productivity, and become an absolute Excel POWER USER, this is the course for you.
See you in there!
-Chris (Founder, Excel Maven & Maven Analytics)
NOTE: Most Excel demos are compatible with Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016, Excel 2019 or Office 365 (some may be unavailable in Excel for Mac or Excel Online)

Really valuable course and will be referring back to bits over time, but I think most of it sunk in! I've been using excel for analysis for some time, but never had any formal training, so I already knew a few bits on this course but it was good to learn more in depth and alternative formulas/functions and I've already seen some massive improvements in the work I produce. Thanks Chris, you really helped up my game!

By Mirzet Velagic on 2 months ago

This was actually last Course that I took from Chris! All others were done before.I left it as last..and it payed itself. There are several new things that I never used, or didnt see a purpose of them, but this course gave overview of lots of things inside Excel. Generally speaking, this course should be taken if you started with Excel, at least a bit more than basics that you got. So you can get a feeling what is actually inside it and what are the capabilities of Excel. Then, furthermore, if got interest you can always take another courses of from Chris, which are in my opinion amazing.Recommendation!!!Thank you Chris, looking forward to some new stuff from you!Greets!Mirzet

Some tips have been mentioned in other courses but overall most of them are useful. The Monte Carlo Stimulation example is interesting. Hope to see more courses very soon!

The units are excellent.And now - show time - Let's repeat it again!Thank you, Chris andBest regards,Olivera

By Trang Thuy Le on 2 months ago

Very helpful course for me :) I think all of these tips will be used frequently in our daily working, however the three final tips of analysis are quite more difficult than others. But still fantastic!

By Darryl Morgan on 2 months ago

Even though i am fairly new to Excel i found this course both enjoyable and educational it certainly got my brain working.Thanks to Chris i now have a better insight into what is capable in Excel and will be furthering my knowledge with more of his courses.Anyone seeking to learn Excel should definitely check this course out!Thanks Chris

By Alan McCartin on 2 months ago

Brilliantly presented course that covers all the essentials required for a well-rounded real world Excel user. And a great refresher for ongoing use. All of Chris's courses are exceptional. But put this one on the top of your to-do list.

By Phil Smith on 2 months ago

Awesome course, great examples all of which are very well explained and the downloadable examples spreadsheet adds value. I've learnt loads even though I thought I knew a lot already.

By Matthew Ratcliffe on 3 months ago

Another excellent course by Chris. I've been using Excel for years but this course was still full of tips that I didn't know and will be able to use in my day job. Worth the price I paid for ;;; alone! ;-)

By Prakhar Prasad on 2 months ago

Great tips but if you have already taken the other excel courses then perhaps this is just a quick brush up of all the pro tips you gathered on the way during the previous courses.

By Geoff Taylor on 2 months ago

This was an easy to follow course containing so many useful tips and tricks to make my life so much easier. I would highly recommend this course.

By Bryce Bartholomew on 5 months ago

This course had a lot of helpful tips that I now utilize in my day to day activities. It was fun to learn about some capabilities of excel that I didn't even know existed.

NEW YORK (AP) - Carrie Underwood has another reason to rejoice - she extended her record as the most decorated artist in the history of the CMT Music Awards, thanks to her song “Hallelujah.”

The music video for the singer's hit, a collaboration with John Legend, was named video of the year at Wednesday's show, which aired from Nashville, Tennessee.

Underwood, who now has 23 CMT Awards, thanked her die-hard fans while accepting the honor: “You're the reason we're all here doing what we do, doing what we love (and) making music videos.”

She also shouted-out Legend, particularly for sending her the song, which appeared on her first holiday album “My Gift.”

“Congratulations on what I think is your first CMT Award. Whoa!” she exclaimed.

Though Underwood owned part of the night - she also performed with rock band NEEDTOBREATHE - other female stars, some outside of country music, took over the awards show honoring the year's best country music videos.

Grammy-winning R&B star H.E.R. and fellow guitar slayer Chris Stapleton had the night's best performance. They joined forces for a smoky, thrilling performance of “Hold On,” coming off like a veteran duo.

The legendary Gladys Knight won over audience members - not wearing masks - during a performance of “Friendship Train” with Mickey Guyton. Part of the show felt dedicated to Black female voices thanks to the top notch performances by Knight, H.E.R. and Guyton, who was nominated for two awards and presented the CMT Equal Play Award to Linda Martell, one of the pioneering Black acts in country music and the first Black woman to perform solo at the Grand Ole Opry.

Martell had a country hit with the song “Color Me Country” 50 years ago, and she had other songs reach the charts, but she dealt with major hardships. She experienced racism while performing onstage and was shunned by the music industry as a mainstream country performer. Her record label shelved her album and she was prohibited from finding a new deal.

“Hearing Linda sing makes it very clear that she had all the talent to be a huge star but her career was cut short for one reason: the color of her skin,” said Guyton, who made history this year as the first solo Black woman nominated for a country Grammy Award.

“I would not be standing here today without you, and none of us would be here without you, so thank you!”

Martell, 86, didn't attend the awards show but CMT aired photos of the icon holding her award and said she was watching the show from her home in South Carolina.

Guyton also hit the stage with BRELAND, the Black singer who has mixed country, trap and R&B music and had a country hit with the platinum success “My Truck.”

And the night featured more collaborative performances like it.

Lady A kicked off the show with Carly Pearce and Lindsay Ell, Ingrid Andress sang with pop singer-songwriter JP Saxe, while Miranda Lambert performed with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall.

Hosts Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini also performed onstage and won awards.

Brown won male video of the year for “Worship You” and collaborative video of the year for “Famous Friends” with Chris Young. CMT performance of the year went to Ballerini and Halsey's “The Other Girl” from the 2020 CMT Music Awards.

Gabby Barrett, who was originally supposed to perform at the show but backed out, won female video of the year and the best family feature award went to Taylor Swift's “The Best Day (Taylor's Version),” which was re-released this year and featured home movies starring the pop star, her brother and parents.

Little Big Town's “Wine, Beer, Whiskey” won the night's first award - duo/group video of the year.

“This is awesome. First of all, we're back and making music people,” Kimberly Schlapman yelled, referring to the pandemic.

“I know you like drinking songs,” Karen Fairchild added.

Biden credited scientists, companies, the American people and his whole-of-government effort. The president noted that the widespread vaccination campaign had set the stage for most Americans to have a relatively normal summer as businesses reopen and employers hire.

“We're heading into a very different summer compared to last year,” the president said. “A bright summer. Prayerfully, a summer of joy.”

But as Biden marks one milestone, he is in danger of failing to meet another: his target to have 70% of American adults at least partially vaccinated by July Fourth, in a little over two weeks.

Overall, about 168 million American adults, or 65.1% of the U.S. population 18 years and older, have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of Friday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The pace of new vaccinations in the U.S. has dropped significantly from a high of nearly 2 million per day about two months ago, jeopardizing Biden's ability to hit the 70% mark.

The White House said its whole-of-government approach to the vaccination effort has put the virus in retreat, which in turn has brought COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths to their lowest levels in more than a year. But Biden noted in his remarks that some communities in states with lower vaccination rates are seeing cases and hospitalizations increase.

The administration is in the middle of a monthlong blitz to combat vaccine hesitancy and the lack of urgency some people feel to get the shots, particularly in the South and Midwest.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday that she expects the delta variant of the coronavirus will become the dominant strain in the U.S. That strain has become dominant in Britain after it was first detected in India.

During an appearance on ABC's “Good Morning America,” she told Americans who get their shots that “you'll be protected against this delta variant.”

As part of the administration's vaccination push, Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Atlanta on Friday to tour a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination site at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor until his assassination in 1968. The current senior pastor is U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock.

Harris also spoke at a COVID-19 vaccination mobilization event at Clark Atlanta University, a historically Black school. She told students they “have the power to end this pandemic” by giving people information about the multitude of resources, such as free car rides and child care, that are available to help them get vaccinated.

In Fulton County, Georgia, where Atlanta is located, 49% of residents have received at least one shot. Statewide, it is 42%, Harris said.

“Getting vaccinated is about building the power of community,” she said. “Getting vaccinated is about building the power of our country.”

The Biden administration insists that even if the 70% vaccination goal is unmet, it will have little effect on the overall U.S. recovery, which is already ahead of where Biden said it would be months ago.

Biden wants to celebrate Independence Day as a “summer of freedom” from the virus.

Earlier this week, the White House announced plans to host first responders, essential workers and service members and their families on the South Lawn for a cookout and to watch the fireworks over the National Mall.

More than 1,000 guests are expected for what will be one of the largest events of Biden's presidency.

Associated Press writers Josh Boak in Baltimore and Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.

SERMON SUMMARY: You can find messages of “hope” on everything from greeting cards to billboards this time of year. But do you feel like you have hope? Where do you put your hope? Is your hope directly proportional to your performance in life? Come and hear how the gospel overturns this assumption as we close our mini-series on justification by faith.

Much that we have interpreted as a defect of sanctification in church people is really an outgrowth of their loss of bearing with respect to justification. Christians who are no longer sure that God loves and accepts them in Jesus, apart from their present spiritual achievements, are subconsciously radically insecure people…. Their insecurity shows itself in pride, a fierce, defensive assertion of their own righteousness [or “rightness”], and defensive criticism of others. They come naturally to hate other cultural styles and other races in order to bolster their own security and discharge the suppressed anger.

—Richard Lovelace, The Dynamics of Spiritual Life

Isaiah 52:7-10

7 How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
together they sing for joy;
for eye to eye they see
the return of the Lord to Zion.
9 Break forth together into singing,
you waste places of Jerusalem
for the Lord has comforted his people;
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared his holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God.

Romans 5:1-11

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

O Lord our God, you have searched us and known us. You know not only what we say, but also what we think.

You know that we have been quick to boast in ourselves and eager to condemn others.

We have been slow to acknowledge our faults and hesitant to turn to you in need.

We have doubted the power of your love and forgotten the abundance of your grace.

Father, forgive us through Jesus Christ, and heal us by the power of your Spirit. Amen.

SONG TO CONSIDER: Christ is coming! let creation

Words by John Ross Macduff, Music by Coram Deo Church

Verse 1

Christ is coming! let creation

From her groans and labors cease,

Let the glorious proclamation

Hope restore, and faith increase.

Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.

Verse 2

Earth can now but tell the story

Of Thy bitter cross and pain;

She shall yet behold Thy glory

When the Lord comes back to reign.

Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Let each heart repeat the strain.

Verse 3

Long Thy people have been pining

For Thy peace and rest, and Thee,

Soon, in heav’nly glory shining,

Their Restorer shall they see.

Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Haste the joyous jubilee.

Verse 4

With that blessed hope before us,

Let no harp remain unstrung;

Let the mighty advent chorus

Onward roll on every tongue.

Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come.

In or Out?: The impact of coming out on your career

Blog Img

I’ve known that there was something different about me from the age of about five or six. I didn’t know for about 10 years what exactly that difference was, and when I finally figured it out, it was like a lightbulb going off in my brain.

But while a lightbulb illuminates everything, the light it casts also causes shadows. It took me another 10 long years to look through those shadows and to fully accept myself. Despite the support of close friends and family, my wellbeing and mental health suffered. Being different is something I struggled with for a long time.

‘You never know how someone will react’

Every gay person has to make a conscious decision about when to come out, and every person’s story is different – moving, joyful, but often traumatic. Coming out to your family is the hardest thing a gay person will ever do. I ran from the dinner table to be physically sick before telling my dad. Fortunately, he told me he loved me and that he had known for years – but I’m one of the lucky ones.

It’s not just one coming out, however. I come out every single day – at work and outside it. Despite how far the world has progressed since 1993 (when homosexuality in Ireland was still illegal) you never really know how someone is going to react. I make a conscious decision whether or not to be open about my sexual orientation with every new person I meet, and in the business of recruitment, this happens a lot.

Hiding yourself can hurt your career

In one of my previous workplaces, I didn’t feel comfortable enough to come out and I wasted plenty of energy avoiding being outed. I avoided forming friendships, I avoided talking about my personal life, I avoided letting people in. The simplest conversation in the canteen about what I did over the weekend would make me panic. I was terrified of being judged or rejected.

This is a common experience for the LGBT community. Research has shown that fear keeps LGBT employees closeted at work. They fear that being themselves would result in them losing connections with co-workers. Over 78% of gay people fear coming out at work as they worry it may harm promotion opportunities.

Not being able to engage with people honestly about who has had an effect on my working relationships, my performance and my mental health. I was less confident, less motivated, and constantly on edge. I wasn’t necessarily afraid of being bullied at work – I was afraid of being ostracised, or just seen as a bit ‘different’.  I’m sure I was seen as untrustworthy, unfriendly or an unwilling ‘team player’, but it’s hard to come across as a ‘normal’ when people don’t know a thing about your personal life. A lie of omission is still a lie, and living it was like stepping back into the closet I fought so hard to get out of.

Starting the right conversations

Homophobic comments have been common enough in the various places I’ve worked, with a lot of them being treated as ‘just a bit of banter’. It honestly doesn’t matter that some of these comments were just meant as jokes, it still damages the culture and the level of trust that employees feel within their company.

We can all help to start discussions around the language we use, how it affects people, and why it is so important. I know people are terrified of saying the wrong thing and they probably tread too gently around issues they see. But my advice would be to just ask the question! If someone knows you’re sincere and not coming from a place of hatred or ridicule, they’ll be open and honest with you. This inspires the kind of culture where LGBT people can feel more comfortable to be themselves.

Diversity inspires dynamic, innovative cultures

An inclusive workplace that understands the needs of their employees, making them feel valued and respected has a significant and positive impact beyond the workplace. People with different lifestyles and different backgrounds challenge each other more. The dynamic created by diversity prevents our organisation from becoming out of touch with clients and customers.

Research suggests that companies who openly speak about and promote values of inclusion, and have a diverse workforce, tend to appeal to a wider customer base – this is so important particularly in a business like recruitment.

‘Happier now than I’ve ever been’

Feeling comfortable to come out in work has had a huge impact on my life, and I’m happier now than I’ve ever been. The right to be my authentic self, in every aspect of my life, is something I’m truly grateful for. I never underestimate how lucky I am, because so many do not have this luxury. I needed role models when I was younger – someone to be outspoken, authentically themselves and to say ‘its ok, it gets better’. In creating BeProud@Cpl, we want to be those role models, and to create a positive change that permeates out from the company. We want to be the change we need to see.

It’s important to encourage difference. Being different shouldn’t be something to be hidden. It’s important that our individual personalities are seen as value-adds – and this is particularly true for the LGBT community. By being an organisation that promotes inclusivity you are doing more than improving the bottom line and inspiring innovation, you’re investing in human happiness – and the pay out for that is priceless.

Are you one of those certifiably weird people that actually like licorice? If you are, please know that I am not only harshly judging your bad taste in candy, but I am, unfortunately, also the bearer of bad news. According to a study published earlier this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, eating too much of your beloved sugary, fennel-y, star annis-y rope can actually kill you.

According to the study, a 54-year-old construction worker from Massachusetts collapsed at a fast food place and passed away at a hospital next morning. The cause of death, according his doctors? "A poor diet, consisting primarily of several packages of candy daily." But this wasn't just your run-of-the-mill poor diet, no, dear reader, this was the act of licorice malice. About three weeks before his death, he switched from a vice of soft fruit flavored candy to the chewy ropes.

Yet this was more than just an act of bad taste, as licorice is rich with a compound called Glycyrrhizic acid, which according to CNN, is a "a sweetening compound derived from licorice root, can cause a drop in potassium levels in the body, which in turn may cause high blood pressure, swelling, abnormal heart rhythms and even heart failure."

Although shocking, this apparently isn't news. Licorice can cause a myriad of health problems in people over 40, with the FDA even releasing warnings about avoid overdosing on the candy during Halloween. Licorice - not even once?

When you begin thinking about upgrading your kitchen, most people think first about how it will look. Have you, for example, already started searching cabinet finishes, the desired colour for bench tops, new appliances and other such details? Naturally, you want the finished product to look great and add value, but you practicality is also a key factor.

A Practical Layout Without The Clutter

The last thing you want in your new kitchen is a layout that is difficult to move around in. This is particularly important in a modest-sized kitchen, where space is at a premium. The finished result to look cramped and cluttered.

Lucky for you, our designers at Craftbuilt Kitchens have many years of experience at addressing this dilemma. They have successfully solved this problem for many of our clients who needed to upgrade their kitchen and wanted the latest of everything in a limited space.

What Is The Work Triangle?

We design our kitchen spaces around the concept of the work triangle. This is the distance between three critical locations in the kitchen. The first is the dry storage and refrigeration area, which we like to place as close as possible to the entry point. The second is the cooking area, best placed close to the dining area, and the third is the sink, which sits between these two locations.

Are There Ideal Dimensions?

The ideal dimension in this space is less than 6.4 metres and no more than 7.9 metres, at which point the distance between the three key points becomes inefficient. In a modest sized kitchen, this could be made smaller and still be functional, but too small and it becomes difficult. The concept supports the three main functions of a kitchen – storage, preparation and cooking.

Entry Point for Storage

With the refrigerator and pantry at the entry point, and a bench top measuring 38 to 61 centimetres beside the pantry, you have space to set down frozen food and other items ready for preparation.

The Preparation and Cleaning Area

The area around the sink is ideal for preparation and cleaning, with crockery, cutlery, dishwasher and other utensils handy. A bench top from 45 to 92 centimetres next to the sink is your working space.

Where The Magic Happens

Everything needed for cooking should be arranged around the oven and cook top. Deep drawers and cupboards close by will hold pots, pans and other essential utensils. An ideal size for the adjacent bench top is between 53 and 92 centimetres, depending on the space available.

The measurements at the lower end of those suggested would suit where space is an issue. Our experienced designers work with your preferences and they will help you make the best decisions to suit the space that is available.

The effect of maximum bite force on marginal bone loss of mini-implants supporting a mandibular overdenture: a randomized controlled trial
Clinical Oral Implants Research. 2010 Feb;21(2):243-249. (ISI)
J Jofré, T. Hamada, M Nishimura, C Klattenhoff.

To evaluate the effect of maximum bite force (mBF) on marginal bone loss (MBL) around mini-implants in edentulous patients wearing mandibular overdentures with two retention systems: ball and bar.
Forty-five totally edentulous patients were selected from a public health center. All of them received two mini-implants (1.8 x 15 mm; Sendax) in the anterior mandible using a minimally invasive technique. A single randomization was performed to allocate the patients in two groups. Group I (n=22) received two single ball-type mini-implants and Group II (n=23) received two mini-implants splinted with a prefabricated bar. The mBF was recorded using a press-sensitive sheet Dental Prescale (Fuji) and MBL using standardized radiographs of each mini-implant at the baseline and 5, 7, 10, and 15 months after surgery; the values were compared between groups.
Two members of Group I failed to complete the study, decreasing the number of participants to 20. There was no relationship between the mBF and the MBL of the mini-implants (Spearman’s rhor(s)=0.147; P=0.378). At the 15-month follow-up, the average mBF for Group I (ball) was 247.53 +/- 132.91 N and that of Group II (bar) only 203.23 +/- 76.85 N (Mann-Whitney test; P=0.586). The MBL values were also higher for Group I (1.40 +/- 1.02 mm) than Group II (0.84 +/- 0.66 mm) during the entire 15-month follow-up period (Mann-Whitney test; P=0.077).
No relationship was found between mBF and MBL for patients wearing overdentures retained on mini-implants using bar or ball attachment systems.

  1. I’m getting very lonely stuck at home all day alone.

    1. Wonderful.Cheese

      I’m sorry saint. :( Loneliness is a rough feeling to have. I hope today was a bit better to you.

    2. saintalto

      I miss the balance of having volunteer work some days and then a few quieter days at home. Being at home all the time with nothing to do and not being able to see anyone is tough. I have no motivation to paint or be productive when I have enormous amounts of time on my hands. It’s funny, the busier I am, the more self motivated things get done as well.

    3. jarn

      I am trying to create structure but it's hard.  I feel you.
