FORT EUSTIS, Va. – Connecting a sense of calling with America’s youth is a critical Army effort that will be shared in this Thursday’s Leader Professional Development session, “Building Generations: Leading Gen Z in the Future Army.” As the host, Gen. Paul E. Funk ll, commanding general, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, knows just how critical Gen Z is to the force and its operations. Funk will share his thoughts with subject matter expert Jason Dorsey, president, The Center for Generational Kinetics, who will lead the discussion on recruiting and retaining the Army’s future generations. The generational passion that Dorsey plans to highlight started young at 18 when he wrote his first book, “Graduate Your Perfect Job.” As a millennial himself, he wanted to help his own generation navigate change and overcome adversity within their careers. He has since spoken to more than half a million millennials and Gen Zs, with 200 TV show appearances, including The Today Show, The View and 60 Minutes. The center is a leading firm in solving generational challenges for leaders that is backed by research, speaking and solutions, with special emphasis on millennials and Gen Z. Dorsey founded the center alongside his wife…

July 12, 2021 | 12:59pm Enlarge Image Ricky Van Veen and Caroline Kassie kiss at their wedding. Instagram Allison Williams’ multimillionaire ex-husband, Ricky Van Veen, has wed again — to Chelsea Clinton’s business partner Caroline Kassie, Page Six has exclusively learned. The couple tied the knot Sunday, with the groom’s pals Andy Cohen and John Mayer among those in attendance at the intimate outdoor wedding. Wearing a suit, Van Veen, 40, was seen stepping on a glass, a common custom of Jewish weddings, as guests shouted, “Mazel tov!” in a video posted online by a family member. He then kissed his new bride, who wore an elegant gown and had her hair pinned back, before they walked down the aisle together wreathed in smiles. Cohen, 53, shared a photo to Instagram with Mayer, 43, at the ceremony, teasing his singer-songwriter pal’s forthcoming album with the caption, “Sob Rock is wedding rock.” Van Veen made a fortune after co-founding comedy brand CollegeHumor and the video platform Vimeo. He is now the head of global creative strategy at Facebook. Kassie, for her part, is a managing partner and general counsel at Metrodora Ventures, a venture capital firm she recently launched alongside Clinton. Kassie…

A social networking application is as only good as its user base, especially when it comes to engagement and activity. You could have one of the best designed apps in the world, but if people aren't spending a good chunk of time on it and posting content, then it's really not going to pop off. Naturally growing "friend" groups of individual users is a good way to promote that growth, so is that why so many random people have been adding you on Snapchat recently?Article continues below advertisementYou might be asking yourself, "Why are random people adding me on Snapchat?"If you've been using Snapchat recently, then you may have noticed a large number of people who probably shouldn't have access to your phone number or username are sending you friend requests.That's because of the "Quick Add" feature buried in the settings tab.Source: SnapchatArticle continues below advertisementAs answered by Jason Zhen on Quora, "Yes, your name is put on Quick Add. Snapchat has this feature where it determines which friends you have added, and they will show possible mutual friends you have.

I love one trained assassin and her vest with pockets. 🚨Warning: There are MASSIVE — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for Black Widow!🚨 Hi, hello. Well, Black Widow is here, and I literally can't stop talking about it. Marvel / Disney+ I am so sorry to all the people in my life who have to deal with this latest Marvel hyper-fixation of mine.  Natasha Romanoff FINALLY gets the solo movie she deserved years ago as she teams up with her family to take down the Red Room. Marvel / Disney+ Not only is the action in this movie incredible, but the new characters and family dynamics that are introduced also make this film one of the best MCU solo movies. Marvel / Disney+ And while I loved everything about this movie, I can't stop yelling about Florence Pugh and her hilarious, complex, and emotional performance as Yelena Belova. At this point you could drop Florence Pugh into any genre and she'll completely command the movie and Yelena in #BlackWidow is yet another example — to think we are just at the beginning of her career is absolutely mind blowing 02:28 PM - 10 Jul 2021 @noradominick / Via…

What a time to be alive. By Briana LawrenceJul 12th, 2021, 9:07 am Sometimes, you see a tweet that makes you feel old, like this one from cosplayer @m4stiff that honors the, wait for it, SEVEN year anniversary of DashCon. Perfect cosplay doesn’t exi- celebrating 7 years since this legendary event today pic.twitter.com/IGpEORcRDi — mastiff (@m4stiff) July 11, 2021 via GIPHY One of my absolute favorite things about cosplay is how creative the community gets. We don’t just replicate characters down to their Super Saiyan baby hair, we put our own spin on persons, places, and things. In this case, the thing is an event, and that event lives on in infamy as one of the most disorganized weekends in convention history. @m4stiff spared no detail with their cosplay, creating a look that imitates the blue of the infamous ball pit and posing in a way that spreads the multi-colored balls out to capture the essence of the pit itself. Even the expression on their face reads, “I have no idea what’s going on.” Speaking of details: if you understand this detail you qualify for a veterans discount pic.twitter.com/QBlpSd0xaX — mastiff (@m4stiff) July 11, 2021 What is that, you ask?…

FP TrendingJul 12, 2021 17:28:01 ISTJagannath Rath Yatra, the Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Jagannath has been celebrated for centuries in Puri, Odisha. It falls during Shukla Paksha of Ashada month (June-July) every year. Said to be the oldest chariot festival of the world, the yatra begins today, 12 July amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Fnatic, the London-based global esports organisation, is championing diversity among its content creators after reporting a 50/50 gender split in its grassroots programme, Fnatic Network.  This means that of the 52 streamers signed up to this programme – which celebrates its first full year of operation today – 26 are male and 26 are female. Fnatic says this is an industry first. Fnatic Network is a content creator academy that aims to scout and engage with top streamers and take them through a three-tiered programme, which can ultimately lead them to a contract with Fnatic or another org. Fnatic also said that participants have seen an average growth of 56% in their stream’s concurrent users, and an average increase of 150% in their Twitch following since the programme’s inception. For example, Moonryde, who is getting his own £30,000 Moonryde Invitational CoD Warzone tournament with Fnatic, went from 800 viewers on his stream to an average 6,000, with a peak of 82,000 on one of his Warzone streams. “Our ambitions for the esports and gaming industry is to see a more diverse and inclusive audience on and off the screen. I believe this change must start from within, and education and development are key…

We’ve said before that the most amazing thing that Bill Russell accomplished in his insanely successful career was to win the last game every year from his junior year at San Francisco until his final season with the Boston Celtics, including the Olympics, except for twice. The first time was in 1958, when he was injured. The second time? It was in 1967, when Wilt Chamberlain, back in Philadelphia with the 76ers after moving west with the Warriors, beat Boston before moving on to beat his old team for the championship. It’s an incredible accomplishment - well, two. First, the unbelievable desire to win that Bill Russell translated into back-to-back NCAA championships, Olympic gold, and 11 NBA titles in 13 years. And second, that Philadelphia broke the string. Of course having Chamberlain was a big deal. Even 48 years after his retirement, there has never been anyone who has come close to his combination of size, strength and stunning athleticism. This is the second half of Game 4 of that series. Boston won this one, which was the only game they won in this series, as they lost 4-1. It wouldn’t happen again. An aging Russell, who had become player-coach…
