How Top Creator Khaby Lame Became TikTok’s Most Popular Influencer - Forbes

Khabane "Khaby" Lame slinks into a modern mansion, evades armed guards and breaks into a hidden vault loaded with loot.

No, the Italian influencer, the world's most-followed person on TikTok, hasn't turned to a life of crime. Lame, who in 2019 was assembling car filters in a factory outside Turin, is now a star character in Fortnite, the blockbuster multiplayer video game with more than 230 million monthly players.

"When I started making videos, people told me to get a proper job," he says. "But I continued to make videos because that's what I like doing, even though no one was watching them."

Cover Letter Vs Resume: Here Are The Key Differences - Forbes

Most job applications require a resume right away, and the best resumes are matched to the jobs you are targeting. Some jobs posted on LinkedIn allow you to “Easy Apply” with just your LinkedIn profile (so you should optimize your LinkedIn profile too) but even with these jobs you often have the opportunity to attach a resume in addition to your LinkedIn profile. If your resume has more details (or different details) than your LinkedIn profile, you’ll want your application to include both.

Not every job posting requests or even allows a cover letter, but sometimes it’s required to move forward. Even when it’s optional, submitting a cover letter puts an additional piece of marketing yourself in front of prospective employers, so take that opportunity (and do what you can to maximize the chance that employers will read your cover letter). The cover letter is not redundant to your resume. Here are the key differences:

The most obvious difference is that the cover letter looks different than the resume. The cover letter is a business letter, or even if it’s the shorter, more casual email version, it’s still structured like a letter. On the other hand, the resume is structured like an outline of your career trajectory. Sections include your contact information, a summary of highlights, experience, education and additional information, such as technical skills, volunteer work and interests.

Britain’s national parks are not protecting nature - The Economist

Until 2019 Derek Gow farmed 121 hectares of Dartmoor, in Devon, with 1,500 breeding sheep and 120 cows. But he abandoned traditional agriculture after the last of the curlews, a type of bird, vanished. “In the end, you just begin to realise that everything you’re doing is wrong,” says the farmer-turned-conservationist. He has since “rewilded”, emptying his fields and restocking them with much smaller numbers of cattle, pigs, water buffalo and wild horses—as well as reintroducing species ranging from Eurasian beavers to wildcats.

Dartmoor is one of 15 national parks in Britain. To the untrained eye it looks like one of the country’s finest wild spaces: 954 sq km of rugged, sweeping moorland punctuated by tors. A third of it is protected as either a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), meaning it is of special biological or geological interest, or a special area of conservation (SAC), meaning its biodiversity is of international importance by EU standards.

But much of Dartmoor is in a bad way. Breeding populations of golden plover, red grouse and ring ouzels—magnificent “mountain blackbirds” that migrate from north-west Africa and seek out the most remote areas of upland Britain—are on the brink of extinction or gone. Some 91% of its SSSIs are in an “unfavourable condition”. Only 6.6% of its SAC, which covers around a quarter of the park, is in a “favourable” condition. The problem is not unique to Dartmoor: nearly 75% of SSSIs in English national parks are in an “unfavourable condition”, compared with 61% of SSSIs across England as a whole.

Lest Darkness Fall - The Atlantic

Democracies overseas are under siege, and some Americans think the United States should stay out of those struggles. But supporting our friends and allies against barbarism is both in our national interest and part of our identity as a people.

Last week, I mentioned the field of counterfactual history, the intriguing what-ifs about how great events could have turned out differently. One of the most celebrated of all such stories is a 1941 novel by the prominent science-fiction writer L. Sprague de Camp titled Lest Darkness Fall, in which a 20th-century archeologist named Martin Padway finds himself suddenly transported to sixth-century Rome. Padway knows he has arrived just before the final Gothic War, after which Europe would descend into the Dark Ages, and he uses his knowledge of history and technology to fend off Rome’s collapse. In the end, he secures a better future for Europe and perhaps the world: “Darkness,” the book concludes, “would not fall.”

Padway succeeds because he has the gift of hindsight. He knows with complete certainty what will happen, when, and why, and so he can intervene at key moments to avert disaster. In real life, the rest of us have to plod along in sequential time, doing our best with what we know at the moment.
