It has been the most rewarding experience of my year," said Glenn Budhi Santoso, a Indonesian student currently enrolled in the international MBA program offered by Antai College. He participated in one of the placement programs called the Dragon Team project and served as a team leader.The Dragon Team project is a consulting program where participating students solve partner companies' business needs by applying the knowledge acquired from their MBA courses.
Participants of the months-long project are jointly selected by the school and the partner company through resume screening and interview, according to Santoso.Each Dragon Project team is paired with an industry partner. "A Fortune 500 fast-moving consumer goods company in my case," he said.Santoso, the team leader, and three team members "worked together with the partner company's project champion toward the strategic goal of the project defined at the beginning", he said.Santoso found the three-month experience "nothing but very rewarding"."It was the perfect opportunity to use the knowledge I've learned through the course material," he said. "This project is not a simulation－rather, it is true strategy generation for an ongoing vision of our industry partner. "My team had applied knowledge gained from multiple courses including operational management, strategic management, business communications and business analytics to approach our industry partner's vision for sustainable supply chain," Santoso said.In addition to having been able to apply classroom knowledge, Santoso said he was also able to learn how to communicate effectively with different stakeholders, which is "extremely important for personal development", Santoso said, adding "I am utterly pleased with how this project has transformed me into a more professional individual".
Each Dragon Team is assigned an academic adviser who will help them during the course of the project. Professor Zhu Qinghua, a "world-recognized authority in the field", was assigned to Santoso's team."She mentors us in the academic approach to solving our partner company's needs utilizing her expertise in green industrial supply chain management," he said.Professionals at the partner company had also been very helpful, according to Santoso."We received a lot of guidance and support from our partner company's project champion and others on the team, and we've even held multiple strategy sessions with the company's procurement director."
One major learning from the Dragon Team project for Santoso is that stakeholder management and communication skills are extremely important."I knew this beforehand, but this Dragon Team experience showed me a good example of how efficient a project can be through proper stakeholder management and effective communication."These two can be learned through textbooks, said Santoso. "Nevertheless, having the chance to practice and personally experience it is simply priceless."Santoso, who had worked at Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia before commencing his MBA studies, is confident about his future career."I believe the experience with the Dragon Team project will help me immensely in returning to work shortly," he said. "The experience of leading a splendid team and working alongside our partner company's senior management provided me a confidence boost to embrace my future career."

The Purpose Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund debuted on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Feb. 18 and has quickly ramped up trading volumes of about $400 million worth of shares in two days. This is quite impressive, considering that the equity market in Canada is only a fraction of the size of the U.S. markets. This shows strong demand for Bitcoin and investor's preference to take the ETF route to establish fresh positions.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.
Last week, Bitcoin reached another important milestone when it hit the critical $1 trillion market capitalization on Feb. 19, making it the sixth asset on the list of top market cap companies in the world.
The involvement of institutional investors and a market cap of over
$1 trillion could allay the concerns of manipulation and liquidity
raised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the previous
years as it rejected Bitcoin ETF applications.In a recent interview with
CNBC, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that “the probability of an ETF
has gone up.” Wood said the new SEC chairman Gary Gensler, who taught a
digital currency class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
could be more open to crypto, increasing the likelihood of an approved
Bitcoin ETF.
Although Bitcoins fundamental factors continue to improve, the near term could experience some turbulence due to the steepening of the U.S. Treasury curve.
Lets analyze the charts of the top-5 cryptocurrencies that indicate the possibility of the resumption of the uptrend in the short term.
DELIVERED EVERY MONDAY
BTC/USD
Bitcoin broke above the resistance line of the
ascending channel on Feb. 19 and the bulls have managed to sustain the
breakout. This suggests that traders continue to buy at higher
levels.The BTC/USD pair had formed a Doji candlestick pattern on Feb.
20, indicating indecision among the bulls and the bears about the next
directional move. That uncertainty has resolved to the upside today and
the bulls will now try to propel the price to $60,974.43.
The 20-day exponential moving average ($47,450) is sloping up and the relative strength index (RSI) is in the overbought zone, which indicates that bulls have the upper hand.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price re-enters the channel, the bears will try to pull the price down to the 20-day EMA. A break below the channel will indicate a possible change in trend and the pair may then correct to the 50-day simple moving average.
AUD/USD refreshes 35-month top with 0.7899 figures, currently up 0.23% around 0.7885, during Mondays Asian session. In doing so, the bulls keep the reins following the heaviest run-up in seven weeks posted last Friday.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.
While looking for the catalysts, the overall upbeat sentiment joins headlines from the global rating agency Fitch and comments from Chinese diplomat Wang Yi seem to have played their role. It should, however, be noted that the lack of major data/events keeps the AUD/USD bulls chained off-late.
Fitch cited Australia‘s strong institutions and an effective policy framework to keep ’AAA credit rating. However, However, uncertainty around the medium-term debt trajectory following the significant rise in public debt/GDP caused by the response to the pandemic pushed the rating giant to have a negative credit outlook for the Pacific major.
On the other hand, Chinas State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi blamed the previous US government for the Sino-American tensions and pushed for fresh ties in his latest comments. The top diplomat cited further areas for cooperation while urging the US to not interfere in their initial issues and call back the trade-restrictive duties.
It should be noted that the UK‘s readiness to ease the virus-led lockdown and Israel’s optimism following the victory over the coronavirus (COVID-19) seem to favor the risks. Also on the positive side are hopes of the US covid relief package.
Alternatively, the strength of the US 10-year Treasury yields, currently up 2.4 basis points (bps) to the fresh multi-year high near 1.36% challenge the quote‘s further upside. However, the S&P 500 Futures’ run-up after four consecutive days of declines favors the AUD/USD bulls.
Moving on, a lack of major data/events will keep AUD/USD traders directed towards the risk news for fresh direction.
Technical analysis
A sustained break above 0.7900 needs validation from March 2018 top
near 0.7915-20 for further upside. Meanwhile, Januarys top near 0.7820
can lure the AUD/USD sellers during the fresh downside.

‘Heat-not-burn’ Alternative to E-cigarettes May Harm Heart
A new review suggests “heat-not-burn” tobacco devices may threaten cardiovascular health. The review is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.To get more news about iqos, you can visit hitaste official website.
Heat-not-burn products—which may include noncombustible cigarettes—are relatively new in the U.S. In these, tobacco is heated to a lower temperature than traditional combustible cigarettes to release a tobacco-flavored vapor that contains nicotine. Unlike traditional cigarettes, heat-not-burn apparatuses do not produce fire, smoke or ash. However, devices of this kind release aerosol particles that pollute the air, including carcinogenic chemicals and molecules (reactive oxygen species) that can cause DNA damage and cell death.
E-cigarettes heat liquid nicotine-containing chemicals to their boiling point to produce a vapor that is inhaled. Studies suggest that lung injuries associated with traditional vaping could cause users to turn to heat-not-burn devices as an alternative to e-cigarettes. But “while emissions of pollutants from [heat-not-burn] tobacco products [are] likely reduced versus traditional cigarette smoking, these reductions may not be biologically significant,” authors of a new review wrote. Emerging research suggests inhaling nicotine-rich tobacco vapor with a noncombustible device may be less hazardous than traditional cigarettes but that they carry health risks to the heart as well as the lungs.
The reviewers analyzed nearly 50 human and rodent studies and found that heat-not-burn tobacco product-associated inhalants led to a variety of markers suggestive of heart disease and impaired blood vessel health, including:The body of literature about the effects of heat-not-burn products is small, but it is growing as these devices become more widely used. “Further clinical, animal and in vitro studies must be developed to explore the cardiovascular effects of [heat-not-burn] tobacco products,” the authors wrote. Additional research “will assist lawmakers and regulatory bodies around the globe in making informed decisions regarding this novel nicotine-delivery method.”
Ever since the launch of World of Warcraft Classic, players the world over have poured their heart, soul, and time into the MMORPG. This saw World's First claims for max level as well as defeating Ragnaros and Onyxia, but many are finding they are currently unable to log in, which is unfortunately due to an on-going DDoS attack on the game.To get more news about buy wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
For those unfamiliar, DDos stands for a Distributed Denial of
Service, meaning that a cyber attack has intentionally made a machine or
network's resources — in this case, World of Warcraft Classic —
unavailable by disrupting connections with its intended users. This has
made it unplayable for a solid number of players and has been doing so
for a few hours.
The connection errors began around 11 AM EST and have continued since.
Blizzard is currently aware of this DDoS attack on WoW Classic, and is
doing its best to get the game back on track. It would seem that fans
quickly discovered the individual or group behind the attack. A Twitter
account known as UKDrillas claimed credit for the attack, announcing it
roughly 30 minutes before it began.
It later announced its intent to continue the attack, promising that there would be more outages for World of Warcraft Classic's servers. However, since then, the account has been pulled, likely for violating Twitter's ToS while initiating this attack on Blizzard. It's also worth adding that the WoW developer hasn't confirmed that this account is actually responsible for the attack, yet it's hard to imagine that it isn't involved with the current situation.
Blizzard doesn't yet have a timeframe for when everything will be returned to working order, but several players having expressed how upset they are over social media. And understandably so, as there is no rhyme or reason to such an act. While waiting for the DDoS attacks to be over, here are 5 WoW Classic memes that take players back to 2004 in order to pass the time.
For those that have been enjoying a retro World of Warcraft experience through WoW Classic, Blizzard is expanding the experience by introducing a classic version of Burning Crusade. This means that players will be able to relive playing World of Warcraft's first expansion just as it was when it launched in 2007.To get more news about buy wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
World of Warcraft Classic is set to be updated with the game's first expansion in the same retro style, Blizzard announced at BlizzConline. World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic will launch later this year, letting you step back into Outland as it appeared in 2007.
The expansion will let you play as a Blood Elf or Draenei in WoW Classic. Content will be released in phases, letting players experience the Burning Crusade progressively over time. That means the community can prep itself for events like the opening of the Black Temple and the Sunwell. It will also reintroduce Arena PvP, jewelcrafting, and flying mounts to the WoW Classic experience.WoW Classic players will have a choice as to whether they advance to Burning Crusade. You'll be able to keep your characters in the vanilla Classic version of the game, or move to them the Burning Crusade era.
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is included with any WoW subscription, so if you're playing the main game or Classic already, you'll get access to this content for free.Part of this announcement was leaked ahead of BlizzConline, along with word about Shadowlands' next update. WoW Classic launched in 2019, offering players a chance to see the game as it originally appeared way back in 2004, with only slightly modernized quality-of-life improvements.
