That’s why she founded Rise Collective a New York City–based boutique coaching and training business “I saw a need to support women in their quest for a more fulfilling life,” she says “and I also realized that a lot of women were lacking the tools and support to identify next steps.” Helen Krug von Nidda ’90 has held senior positions in human resources for a number of international organizations most recently as HR strategic partner at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFP). Here Krug von Nidda talks about her hopes for her coaching practice what she has learned through her professional life about the needs of women in the workplace and how she transitioned from working for an organization to working for herself RISE COLLECTIVE COACHES AND TRAINS WOMEN in career and/or life transitions; that is women who are either looking to change or pivot careers returning to work after a long absence or simply exploring next professional horizons Rise Collective also works with organizations to support team and leadership growth. BEING INTERESTED IN COACHING AND PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GROWTH two years ago I decided to pursue a doctorate in adult learning at Columbia University Having immersed myself in human resources—primarily recruitment learning and development and talent management—I wanted to deepen my knowledge of adult learning and leadership principles The program emphasizes transformative learning and development for adult and organizational change in many different settings I was immediately hooked and it sparked my decision to start my own coaching practice it was a question of figuring out what my practice would look like I was fortunate to have an incredible circle of international female friends with whom I was able to brainstorm and my spouse was an incredibly supportive and thought-provoking sounding board I can’t stress enough the importance of having a network of people supporting new uncharted ambitions THERE ARE ALREADY COACHES DOING A LOT OF WORK WITH WOMEN ON SELF-ESTEEM professional growth and leadership development I have seen few coaching businesses that cater to women from diverse cultural backgrounds who have navigated the international development I have witnessed little crossover between women from the private sector and women in the humanitarian world How can we learn from each other from these different professional paths A COACH CAN GUIDE YOU WHETHER YOU ARE COMPLETELY STUCK OR KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO Athletes have coaches to propel them to the next level How do you find a coach who is right for you Make sure you choose a certified coach; however the single most important aspect is the coaching relationship All coaches offer a complimentary coaching session so you should try a coach on for size as they all have a different approach Whom you choose will boil down to the chemistry you have with the coach and your goals I ASK PEOPLE WHO ARE STUCK IN THEIR CAREER “ARE YOU PREPARED TO INVEST IN YOURSELF?” Often people who say they are stuck don’t give themselves a space to get off the hamster wheel You need to do some personal homework, take stock of your values I’ve asked people to talk about what they want to experience for themselves in the next year or two—not what they want to do because that often makes you think about an action you may want to experience what it’s like to be a chef Exploring these types of questions can be quite enriching. AS A SPEAKER AT THE SMITH WOMEN IN BUSINESS SUMMIT I would like to see a few points explored: I think women like ourselves who have had the privilege of an education need to continue exploring ways to pay it forward wherever possible I also think there’s a little bit of the Queen Bee phenomenon that goes on where women at times tend to hold on to their own throne—we need to be better advocates and sponsors for each other I LOVED MY TIME AS A THEATRE MAJOR AT SMITH It was a transformative experience on so many levels I learned about the power of expression and the strength of connection Smith gave me license to be and filled me with courage I have been very blessed to be in the company of incredible women both personally and professionally Our interactions and stories form a huge part of who I am today Celebrate Smith’s 150th anniversary with us! She’s known as the “girl with the accent.” And that accent keeps guests dining in Vanderbilt Grace Hotel’s chic restaurant So where in the world is restaurant manager Mathilde Krug von Nidda from (Hint: there’s more than one answer.) Krug von Nidda came to the Newport hotel by way of the Vanderbilt Grace Hotel’s sister property Being a people person with a love for travel in her blood she decided upon a career path in the hospitality industry at the age of 14 Canada and now here in the City-by-the-Sea where she’s happy to recommend her favorite cocktail I describe myself as a European cocktail: half-French from my mother Is that one of the first things people always ask you I think it’s interesting that other people are interested in my accent because I don’t feel like I have an accent when I talk I don’t mind it because I think it’s an extra-added touch for their experience in the restaurant Do you think Americans have strong accents Lots of people in Europe think that Americans have a very strong I don’t think they’re very strong accents in New England people from Liverpool I have to listen very closely I went through school in Austria and by the age of 14 you have to know what you want to do in life so I went to hotel management school for four years and went straight to work after I graduated This is where I get a little of my English accent I was bad in the language — I could read it I returned to one of the internships I attended in England at Whatley Manor After being there for three years — I started when I was 18 — I wanted to see more of the world and gain experience and then I was about 22 when I came to the White Barn Inn I left to wait for my second visa to be approved and I came back to the White Barn and a job opportunity came up to join the team here in Newport Where did you go while waiting for your visa I was waiting in beautiful South of France with my parents where I lived for three months during the winter My mother Armelle Krug von Nidda loves to travel and my father Wolfgang Krug von Nidda has his own company I also visited my grandmother Jeanne Dupy in the Champagne region Just recently I was promoted to restaurant manager I take care of the Muse and the Conservatory The menu is American food with a touch of French cuisine Do you find the patrons are mostly guests or locals It’s a perfect getaway in the middle of Newport What are some things that locals might not know about the Vanderbilt that you think they should We have a beautiful roof deck terrace with a fantastic view where we’ll be serving cocktails all summer There will be wine dinners throughout the summer and there’s always something happening at the hotel and wander around the hotel and look at the beautiful artwork Grey Goose La Poire — a pear flavored vodka — muddled lemon grass shaken and over ice with a lemon grass straw But if I had to single it out it would be the butter-poached which is the signature dish of Chef Jonathan Cartwright and the Muse We place the plate onto the table and slowly turn the cloche away from the guest so they have the full smoke experience of the dish You can taste the sweetness and freshness of the lobster you can taste and smell the smoke flavor and finish with this delicious lobster sauce (Sighs.) Just some bread to take everything off the plate (She pretends she’s wiping her plate clean with a piece of bread; her eyes glaze over.) It’s sooo good I Skype with my parents but also with my sisters who’s located in Paris and works in a hotel who is in beauty school in South of France and is also She’s the model in the family even though she eats more than I do What’s been your favorite place you’ve lived In Canada I lived in the middle of nowhere I had a raccoon kind of as a pet — he was always there What I used to do is grab a pint of ice cream and drive up to the Bush compound and eat my ice cream while watching the scenery I want to find a place to settle for more than a year as I’ve been traveling a lot ever since I moved out Definitely work will be one part of me coming back but also a man who appreciates a very busy 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glatfelter Corporation (NYSE: GLT) a leading global supplier of

forces used the site as a landing strip for small planes and a home for helicopters the once-noisy airfield is a peaceful place was closed in 1992 during the post-Cold War drawdown from Germany and the preserved runway is a haven for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts Guard gates remain at the entrance but fell into disuse long ago military history and an escape from busy city life The airfield is about a 35-minute drive from Wiesbaden and 25 minutes from Frankfurt’s city center The conversion from military base to greenspace is part of a broader mission in Germany to transform former U.S military sites into conservation areas and wildlife habitats Frankfurt took over management of the property in 2003 with the intention of adding it to Germany’s celebrated Green Belt a connection of natural habitats that runs east-west across the country The wildlife is quiet in the winter months with the exception of magpies and the babble of the Nidda River which separates the green meadows from the former runway allowing access from the city to the Green Belt Military infrastructure still stands: hangars near the entrance including environmental education programs for students and summer events like festivals and a bicycle day Food trucks line up where previously a popular restaurant called the Tower Cafe operated before its closure in 2020 during the pandemic A former hangar near the tower houses the Frankfurt Fire Department Museum which exhibits firefighting artifacts like extinguishers and respirators Although the museum and the public facilities at Alter Flugplatz close in the winter months the site is open all year for hardy outdoor enthusiasts and curious military history buffs restrooms and food options closed from October to March Price: Free for Alter Flughafen; small entrance fee for Fire Department Museum the Nidda/Ober-Schmitten site has found a buyer Glatfelter's Nidda/Ober-Schmitten will not be closed down after all: Via its German subsidiary Ostrest Istanbul-based İŞ Holding has signed an agreement to buy the site on Tuesday 15 August The acquisition includes the sales and distribution offices in Suzhou and Hongkong The contracting parties have agreed not to disclose details of the transaction With the acquisition of the specialty paper mill the Turkish company will further expand its activities in Germany A project team from the Turkish group will immediately start work on the future of the site "We will invest in effective and energy-efficient paper production for the glass and electrical industries at the Ober-Schmitten site creating a sustainable operation for the future," said İlkem Şahin The transaction comes none too soon: at the end of May Glatfelter had announced that it planned to close down the plant due to increased energy and raw material costs and the plant's ensuing lack of competitiveness which demonstrated that the closure – scheduled for Q3 2023 – was the best solution for the company The Ober-Schmitten site can produce up to 8,000 tpy of specialty papers such as glassines and electrotechnical papers Istanbul-based İŞ Holding has 20 subsidiaries which are active in a big variety of

by incommensurate (IC) phases in bulk samples of the centrosymmetric intermetallic Gd3Ru4Al12 locked to the distorted kagome network of magnetic gadolinium ions We discuss this state based on (weak) single-ion anisotropy K1 as supported by electron-spin resonance experiments neither this prior work nor the present REXS technique are able to determine whether the skyrmion core is located on a crystallographic lattice site This question of the relative phase shift between magnetic texture and crystal lattice can be addressed by measurements of single-ion anisotropy combined with theoretical modeling: We turn to the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique in the following section a Resonance field ${B}_{{{{\rm{res}}}}}={\mu }_{0}{H}_{{{{\rm{res}}}}}$ in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)

of Gd3Ru4Al12 with magnetic breathing kagome sublattice of gadolinium c illustrates the resulting iso-energy surfaces Fanis(θ φ) in zero (finite) magnetic field along the c-axis where the spherical coordinates refer to the direction of the sample’s bulk magnetization M we now add an analyser plate before the x-ray detector to separate two components of the scattered beam: ${I}_{\pi -{\pi

propagation for the intensity ratio The present study generalizes the second scenario to the case of complex with an important role for (weak) magnetic anisotropy We consider the observation of C-locking induced by magnetic fields, in our experiment, based on the single-ion contribution to the spin Hamiltonian (Supplementary Note 3) the x and y coordinates of the planar projection are defined as The sphere’s radius R and the reference point for the longitude φ0 can be set to 1 and 0 we did not find impurity phases with volume fraction larger than 4% single-crystalline pieces were

which forms tear-drop shaped inclusions of < 2% volume fraction that are hard to detect by laboratory x-rays were excluded based on patterns in the surface-reflected light magnetization measurements (M-H curve at T = 2 K M-T curve at μ0H = 0.1 T) were used to confirm a systematic evolution of long-range magnetic order in these single crystals In order to avoid unwanted shape anisotropy effects we polished the Gd3Ru4Al12 samples cut within the a-c plane into a cylindrical disc form The ratio of diameter to thickness was 12 for the final disc Using the saturation magnetization MS = 7 μB / Gd3+ our fit yields the easy-plane anisotropy constant K1 = − 1.944 ⋅ 106 erg/cm3 ( − 0.13 meV / Gd3+) and the temperature independent The 5d shell is coupled to the dominant magnetic species which were

up for the Nature Briefing newsletter — what matters in science Heavy police presence on North Maroa and E Fedora Avenue (FOX26) — A Fresno restaurant is asking for your help tonight as it struggles to recover from a fire in its kitchen earlier this year The owner is hoping she can continue her dream of being a restaurant owner "Not even a year yet," saidowner Naddi Voraphongphibul Buatong Thai Vegan Restaurant was supposed to hit its one-year anniversary in June but while Voraphongphibul I was in Thailand learning new recipes and the damage was so extensive that the restaurant remained closed Voraphongphibul says she's dreamed about opening a vegan restaurant for the last eight years "I have my dream to go for the goals," saidVoraphongphibul "To be the part that I can help some lives and we go towards saving the world together." One customer says he's been a fan since it opened and was bringing his family here regularly They don't feel like they're missing out on anything." "We were not here for just only food but were here for a lot of reasons also and we have a good community in Fresno," she said Voraphongphibul is seeing this as a setup testing her determination "I want to keep going because it's good for all over," saidVoraphongphibul So it's not going to stop me at all." Even though her insurance hasn't given her an estimate how much it will cost to fix she's thinks it will cost around $50,000 to renovate the kitchen The owner says she hopes to have the place back open by its one-year anniversary in June If you would like to help the restaurant reopen, clickHERE. has announced that it is closing its Ober-Schmitten facility due to the ongoing financial underperformance of the electrical and glassine specialty papers manufactured at the site The actions taken are part of the company’s turnaround strategy that is aimed at improving the financial performance of the overall business has approximately 180 employees and is located in Nidda The Ober-Schmitten economic committee and works council were notified of the closure and negotiations regarding a compromise of interest and social plan will begin immediately “This site has faced continued challenges from escalating energy declining markets,” said Thomas Fahnemann “We increased prices for the electrical and glassine products in the fourth quarter of 2022 to avoid further losses and subsequently we lost meaningful business to our competition it became evident that Glatfelter is unable to compete in this market without a significant investment to streamline operations and substantially reduce the site’s overall manufacturing costs for these non-core products.” “The decision to close Ober-Schmitten followed an extensive process undertaken by management to assess all options for the facility including a potential sale of the operation all attempts to find a new owner who could invest in restoring the site’s long-term viability did not lead to a successful outcome Today’s announcement was not taken lightly given the impact it will have on our employees I want to take this opportunity to thank our employees for their years of dedicated service and many contributions to Glatfelter we are grateful for the support of the regional and local community and know we can continue to rely on their support in the months ahead,” Fahnemann explained Total estimated costs associated with closing the Ober-Schmitten facility will be dependent on the final social plan and related employee separation costs along with shuttering the operation. Search Companies This article was originally published on The Conversation The Earth is home to millions of species but you wouldn’t know it from the media’s obsession with only a few dozen animals like tigers and gorillas This narrow focus makes the most of popular fascination with large and cute creatures. Conservationists take advantage of these nonhuman celebrities to raise awareness about important issues and to seek donations to help save endangered animals. Given the multi-billion-dollar funding shortfall for nature conservation Very popular species attract the most wildlife conservation funding. But what about the Nimba otter shrew, the Cuban greater funnel-eared bat or other threatened yet obscure species not just the homes of snow leopards and orangutans We sought the answer to this question by measuring the links between marketing efforts and conservation fundraising success Our recently published study contrasted online fundraising campaigns by two conservation charities: World Wildlife Fund-US (WWF-US) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), through its EDGE of Existence program WWF-US raises money for a broad set of projects addressing global issues from climate change and illegal wildlife trade to forest and ocean conservation The EDGE campaign we analyzed focuses on saving 100 threatened mammal species we wanted to see if and when marketing makes a difference To do this we also had to account for whether the species used for fundraising mattered This involved measuring an animal’s “appeal,” which depends on lots of factors To see which animals were the most appealing we showed 850 conservation supporters a random selection of the animal photos featured on the WWF-US and EDGE websites and asked these volunteers to rank the photos which raises money through animal “adoptions.” When people donate they signal their support for the well-known species photos of the animals and adoption certificates But the money WWF-US raised funds projects that benefit more than just the “adopted” animals We found two factors influenced WWF-US donors’ choices: the animals’ appeal and the degree of the threat of their extinction No matter how they were described or presented the most appealing species always drew more donations This was probably because people already knew and liked them The EDGE program raises money in a different way It supports some universally familiar animals but many of the species it helps are less appealing to humans Each of these species is shown on their website so people can click on a link to find out more and then donate We found that while people were generally more interested in donating to appealing species the amount of marketing also made a difference The animals EDGE actively promoted fared better with potential donors — including some homely ones pitches for the species shown higher up on EDGE’s site got more donors interested in funding the animals’ conservation EDGE’s track record suggests that using marketing techniques to raise money for wildlife conservation could increase donations aimed at helping less popular species To estimate the difference that marketing could make in this regard we created a mathematical model based on our analysis of the EDGE data This is an equation that predicts donations based on a species’ appeal (which is fixed) and whether it was promoted by EDGE or shown high up on the website (which we could vary) we then modeled different fundraising scenarios for the 10 most appealing and 10 least appealing animals our model predicted that the most appealing species would raise 10 times more money than the least appealing animals This was in line with what we expected and supported the WWF-US strategy things changed when we modeled the impact from EDGE’s marketing efforts If the group highlighted the least appealing species by making them prominent on its website our model predicted a 26-fold increase in donations for those specific animals This suggests that charities could raise conservation funds for species like bats and rodents Our findings indicate that conservationists have more options than they may realize to raise money to aid wildlife But when should they fundraise for more obscure species? The answer depends on how threatened the animal is, how much help it already gets, the cost of saving it and the chances of the project succeeding When conservationists focus only on saving elephants That doesn’t mean WWF-US should end its focus on familiar animals Since the money it raises funds broad projects that benefit more than just the “adopted” animals catering to widespread fixations with particular species makes sense To be sure, our research did not measure whether marketing efforts pay off by increasing donations overall But including more kinds of species in a campaign may boost donations — especially for endangered frogs and tarantulas or other underappreciated animals — and even plants It might also increase the total number of species in the public eye highlighting the many ways everyone can help save wildlife Conservationists often complain animals that are important to save can get ignored Our results suggest that they should stop complaining and start marketing Diogo Veríssimo, David H.

The project is part of the new Hilgenfeld development district in the Nidda valley area of Germany the project was made to encourage shared responsibility while celebrating social gatherings and recreational space The heart of the project is a communal garden and a terrace of jigsaw balconies Terrace House. Image Courtesy of NL ArchitectsTerrace House gently steps back each floor to embrace the street. At the same time terraces are created in a natural way oriented to the afternoon sun – light-flooded apartments with balconies on either side, open private balconies on the west and a collective covered gallery access to the east. The jig saw figure of the balconies creates a sense of privacy and shelter while at the same time enabling contact between the neighbors. Terrace House. Image Courtesy of NL ArchitectsThe program asked for a very large degree of variation of the housing units Many different sizes are desired to cater for a wide range of future inhabitants for cross-generational and accessible housing By introducing a building with varying bay widths different apartment types from small to extra large are organized next to each other forming a gradient that accommodates multiple lifestyles The living area of the apartments is conceived as an open zone arranged from the entry in the east to the terrace in the west as a continuous space The kitchens and bathrooms are organized around a service shaft in the center of each unit allowing the open and the private zone to be placed on either side of the bay to make alternation possible for each floor The compact individual rooms include a generous living area News via NL Architects You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If
