Ego Of The Week: Nikhil Sheth
If you’ve been feeling uninspired lately, a conversation with Nikhil Sheth (W’ 26) might be exactly what you need. From completing an Ironman freshman year to leading an 8–day venture in Chile to finishing a 24–hour adventure race senior year, his personal philosophy and mental frameworks are nothing short of fascinating. What’s remarkable is how he balances an easy–going, laid–back demeanor with unwavering focus and determination. On top of that, his warmth and humility leave a lasting impression.
Is cancer more common in women after IVF?
Shaw Photography Co./Getty Since fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) began, there has been concern they could cause cancer. Concerns have included whether aspects of treatment – such as taking hormonal medications, or puncturing the ovaries to retrieve eggs – could stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Now, our new study, published on Wednesday, has found women who underwent fertility treatments had a comparable overall rate of cancer to similarly aged women.

Chicago Celebrates 50 Years of Mahogany In Style
As many often say, nothing beats summertime Chi. On a cool August evening in Chicago, the city shimmered in sequins, silks, and legacy. People from across the community gathered on the lawn of The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center—one of the country’s oldest African American museums in the country—for Mahogany at 50, a celebration marking the golden anniversary of the 1975 seminal fashion classic Mahogany, starring Diana Ross. But this wasn’t just a screening.

SLAM Surveys Hip-Hop’s Global Impact - and St. Louis Expressions
It all started with a back-to-school party in an unspectacular Bronx brownstone. DJ Kool Herc, also known as Clive Clampell, and his sister Cindy Campbell had a simple idea — earn some money for new clothes, according to a 2013 Paste Magazine story. But as Herc played funk and soul tracks at that party in August 1973, something far larger was born: hip-hop. This month, seemingly the whole world is celebrating 50 years since that historic moment. The Saint Louis Art Museum is no exception.
Walmart Introduces the Next Wave of Black Entrepreneurs and Artists
In a market where burgeoning artists and creatives must hustle to get exposure, Black creators remain marginalized and must work that much harder to stake their claim and get eyes and dollars on their work. Walmart, one of the country’s largest retailers, recognizes this challenge. Last month, BET put the spotlight on the inaugural Black & Unlimited Digital Development Program, a collaboration with Issa Rae’s HOORAE Media.
Dear Russell Westbrook,
A mistake we made during the storied life of Kobe Bean Bryant, was we didn’t give him his flowers soon enough. Only after it was too late did we realize the impact he had, not only on the game of basketball, but on the world in general. We aren’t going to do that with Russell Westbrook. He gets his flowers today. Dear Russell Westbrook, From the minute a brand-new franchise laid eyes on you, it knew it had something special. But your story didn’t start there.
The Social Value Act Requirements: More Detail | JD Supra
The UK government has looked at this question in The Social Value Model and Guide to Using the Social Value Model.We refer to these together below as “the Guidance”. We have commented before on the Social Value Act - here. The Act requires the vast majority of public procurements to assign 10% of the overall bid evaluation score to a bidder’s social value proposal.
Unsung Heroes Keeping OKC Relevant
Embrace the tank they said. Fade for Cade they said. A vast majority of NBA fans and a large contingent of OKC fans expected the Thunder to be one of the league’s worst teams this season. Yet, at the All-Star break, the Thunder were 15-21, only three spots out of the Western Conference playoffs. There’s one big reason why the Thunder have out-performed expectations. SGA’s emergence as a bonafide star — and should be All-Star — has elevated Oklahoma City’s production all season long.
King Boston embraces a bolder vision
The King Memorial, which is scheduled for installation on Boston Common sometime in 2022, has taken a dramatic turn. That is to say, Boston’s planned monument to its most illustrious graduate student, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has become a far more ambitious venture, mirroring the social upheaval that has marked this year. What began as a push to build a sculpture is growing into a more expansive social justice organization.
Does your Business have Social Value? The changing world of public procurement | JD Supra
In the UK “Government spends £284 billion a year on buying goods and services from external suppliers. This amounts to around a third of all public expenditure. The money is spent on everything from goods such as stationery and medicine, through to the construction of schools and roads, the daily delivery of back-office functions such as information technology and human resources, and front-line services such as probation and social care.” Please see full Publication below for more information.
How to tell if computer vision can transform your business
During my career as an automotive engineer at Ford Motor Company in the early 2000s, world-class vision system technology was already routinely being used for various applications on programs and production. However, the automation around the analysis had not yet come full circle. Today, it has. And with the latest iterations of smartphones for facial recognition and other functionality, most anyone with a smartphone already has a device using computer vision.
Still behind the wheel and on front line: MBTA workers
Jose Molina would never claim to be a hero. But the service he is rendering in these strange and dark times is definitely essential. Five days a week, his Route 32 bus travels from Hyde Park to Forest Hills. His passengers these days are people who can’t stay at home: health care workers, first responders of various types, people seeking medical treatment. While many of us have retreated to our homes for the duration, the MBTA is still running.

What we mourn when we mourn President George H.W. Bush

Editor’s note: The opinions in this article are the author’s, as published by our content partner, and do not necessarily represent the views of MSN or Microsoft. George H.W.

In Remembrance of Stratford Caldecott - Second Spring
The task I’ve been assigned is no easy one. How to do justice in just a few paragraphs to the life and work of a great friend who also happened to be a great man? Stratford Caldecott, who died three summers ago in Oxford, was one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met, and it’s tempting to monumentalise him, but the temptation must be resisted. It’s not just that Strat himself would laugh at any attempt to portray him—the soft-spoken, self-deprecating Englishman—as some grand, heroic figure.
Bank Interview: Adrian Walker, Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking
Aside from the sharp fall in Sterling against other major currencies, the main challenge stemming from the referendum outcome for our clients is the considerable level of uncertainty they are now facing. As the political negotiations begin to unfold the picture will gradually become clear. Until we reach that point, there is limited clarity around the UK’s future relationship with the EU and its other trading partners.
