Fire departments add pet oxygen masks to equipment checklists
Only two weeks after receiving pet oxygen masks as a donation from a local elementary school, the Volunteer Fire Department of Prospect Inc. in Connecticut put one to use on a small Yorkshire Terrier that was caught in a structure fire.
On the verge of unconsciousness, the dog was found in the upstairs of the building by two firefighters who were on the search after learning from the owner that the dog was missing, Fire Chief Robert Chatfield recalled. The dog was brought downstairs and a firefighter placed a pet oxygen mask over the snout.
"Probably within 10 or 15 minutes, the little puppy was up running around," Chatfield said.
Chatfield, still dressed in his fire gear, visited the elementary school shortly after the incident to explain to the children how the mask helped the dog.
Chatfield's fire department serves as one example of many search-and-rescue teams that are adding pet oxygen masks to their equipment checklists.
One distributor of the masks, Smiths Medical PM Inc. in Waukesha, Wis., has noticed an increase in use by fire departments.
"The masks were originally sold to veterinarians. However, in the past three years, they have been used more and more frequently by search-and-rescue groups, and especially fire departments," said Brandi Marks, customer service manager at Smiths Medical.
The masks distributed by Smiths Medical are designed to deliver oxygen to animals recovering from surgery or beset by smoke inhalation or trauma. They can be used on any animal with a muzzle, beak, or snout that fits in the mask.
Several organizations have contributed to the growing popularity of pet oxygen masks among fire departments. For example, Best Friends Pet Care runs a matching-donation campaign called Cause for Paws. The Norwalk, Conn.-based company helps provide the masks to fire and rescue teams in communities where their pet care centers are located. Since launching the campaign in the summer of 2004, Best Friends has distributed more than 2,600 mask sets to about 450 fire departments in 20 states.
The campaign was inspired by a Best Friends client who was a firefighter, according to Deb Bennetts, director of the Cause for Paws campaign. The client was dropping his dogs off for boarding when he shared with staff a negative experience he recently had when trying to save a pet with a human oxygen mask. One of the staff members happened to know pet oxygen masks were available. From there, Bennetts found a supplier of the masks, ordered some, and then had the pet care center deliver them to the client's fire department.
As word about the donation spread, Bennetts said, other fire departments and community groups started calling and asking how to order the masks.
"We realized that this was something that pet owners universally would feel strongly about, that if you have a dog, cat, or a small pet in your home, you're going to want to know that if there's ever a fire at your house, the local fire department can help save them," Bennetts said.
H.E.L.P. Animals Inc., a nonprofit organization in Orange City, Fla., also organizes donations of pet oxygen masks. The group distributes the masks to government agencies, volunteer fire and rescue operations, nonprofits relating to animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation, and several other groups. H.E.L.P. has distributed more than 2,700 mask sets throughout the United States and Canada.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry honored Olympics-bound hockey players Thursday evening at a Winnipeg Jets and Washington Capitals game at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Kerry dropped a ceremonial puck as he was flanked on the ice by Olympians Blake Wheeler of the Jets and John Carlson of the Capitals.
Earlier Thursday, the State Department posted a photo to Twitter of Kerry, an avid hockey player, lacing up skates.

Let's get this right out on the table: Valentine's Day has never been my thing. I've been in relationships in the past and we never really celebrated this day as if it were a big deal. Also, I am not certain we'll make anything this year as well. But, it's fun to play around with the idea of "what can you do on such a day (or any other as I might add) with your loved one ? " Let's just say that there are lots of options, like a fancy dinner or a special wild night and so on.
I didn't create this outfit as a suggestion for "what to wear on Valentine's Day" but it occured to me that it could be a great option. A floral romantic dress, with or without the scarf, some sexy boots and velvet gloves for a touch of sophistication, pastel feminine colors for a more vintage-good-girl look and there you go. I don't know about you but it is very much in my taste.
If you do celebrate this day, well, then I wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day!
See you soon!
Wearing: Zara dress and cardigan, vintage bag and belt, old Meli Melo velvet gloves, H&M scarf, Irresistible Me headband, Deichmann boots

This article is fan fiction
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft lore or history. The characters, places, and events listed are of an independent nature and are applied for roleplaying purposes only.
The Magnol Edit
The Magnol are a family and clan of magic users that hold physical beauty above all else. They believe this to be the key to true power, feeling that the "powers" (omnipresent beings that command the elements of Fire, Frost, Shadow, the Arcane and the Light) favor attractive people over all else. Obviously, for this reason, they are mostly obnoxiously vain, and deem themselves to be better than all others, both in ability and in looks.
Their credo, "Xanthe ma'gnal dol kurinsill" translates to, "Power favors the beautiful."
Magnol Mages Edit
The basic core, and the majority of the Magnol. Magnol Mages are taught from ages as low as 4 years in the basics of the Arcane arts. Magnol Mages learn to effectively use all forms of magic but have the choice of specializing in any specific element of magic once the basics are learned, and they have graduated from the Academy, achieving the rank of Acolyte. Once their studies and powers improve, they can be promoted to Arcanists. Arcanists are expected to keep order within the Manor, and oftentimes end up as professors within the Academy. Very few Magnol get promoted to the rank of Archmage as Magnol Archmages not only specialize exclusively in a certain element of magic, but are considered to be representatives of the Magnol in affairs both inside and out of the Manor. Many Magnol Archmages act as diplomats, as well as guardians of the Magnol.
One well-known Magnol Frost Archmage is Ciann Magnol. She is the youngest Magnol ever to recieve such an honor.
Magnol Priests Edit
Like Mages, Magnol Priests are taught from a very young age, some as young as 3 years old. Although they occasionally attend the Academy to learn the very basic elements of magic, they spend most of their time within the Holy Sanctuary, learning the ways of the Light. Starting off with the very essential healing spells, they later learn more advanced holy spells and finally, control over the shadow. The Magnol believe that the Light cannot exist without Darkness, and feel that a priest of true power should be able to control the power of Shadow, as well as the Light, without letting the darkness consume their minds. Magnol Priests are governed by the Magnol High Priests, who are all led by one "Grand Priest or Priestess" chosen by the Magnol Elders.
The current Magnol Grand Priestess is Milori Magnol.
Magnol Warlocks Edit
There are very few Magnol Warlocks, as they are even more reclusive than the already reclusive family is. The Magnol realize the potential of this kind of magic, but they do not approach it without the greatest of caution.
In order for any Magnol to become a warlock, they must first spend many years training as a priest in order to strengthen their affinity to the Light as well and their dominance and resistance to the shadow. They must also master the basic mage skills, as well as the more advanced lessons and skills of fire magic. No Magnol is permitted to even enter the Forbidden Sanctum without accomplishing all these tasks, as well as being no younger than the age of 25.
Magnol Warlocks only receive orders and directives from the Elders, and the Grand Priestess.
The Elder Council Edit
As the name would suggest, this is often a council of the eldest living, and most knowledgeable of the Magnol, consisting entirely of Magnol Archmages. Although it's most likely that mere seniority would appoint one to the council, the rules only state that a Magnol Archmage be extremely knowledgable and show great skill in leadership and preserving the ways of the Magnol. It is due to this fact that Ciann was appointed to the Elder Council, despite her incredibly young age. Magnol Elders are often referred to as "Elder", "Lord" or "Lady" despite lacking any true noble blood.
Malic Xanthe Edit
Malic Xanthe (Loosely translated as "The Voice of Power") is an ancient tongue now used exclusively by the Magnol. The Magnol believe that speaking with this language greatly increases their favor among the omnipotent powers that control the flows of magic.
Little is known about the origin of this language. It seems to sound like an odd mix of a few different languages. (Mostly Common and Thalassian) Normally reserved for spell incantations and prayers, some Magnol actually speak the language more often than Common, especially when speaking around outsiders.
Oft used Malic Xanthe words and phrases Edit
- Buruc'nara: Greetings, or Hello.
- Tsun: Yes
- Nian: No
- Liat: Light, or more specifically, the Light
- Syannxanthe: Literally, "Frost Power" but used to refer to the omnipotent power that controls Ice magic.
- Ilorxanthe: Same as above, but pertaining to the power of Fire.
- Xylusxanthe: Same as above, but pertaining to the power of the Arcane.
- Xylus Xandai!: "Arcane Forces!" This phrase is usually used before incanting many arcane based spells, such as teleportation or invisibility.
Symbols of the Magnol Edit
- Family Crest
- A red shield bordered by two Mageroyal buds with a staff in the center. The name "Magnol" is clearly printed on a banner underneath. (See image.)
- The Mageroyal
- Similar to a rose while in bud form, the flower is regarded as a symbol of the Magnol for its beauty as well as it's innate magical properties.
Physical Traits Edit
- Eternal Beauty/Youthful Looks
- Once reaching maturity, every member of the Magnol ceases to physically age. While they are not immortal, at no time does any member of the Magnol, regardless of their actual age, look any older than a human in their mid-twenties. While the body does appear young and spry, an older Magnol will exhibit signs of old age, such as slower movement, decreased stamina, or a heavy labored tone in their voice. This is most notably seen in Elder Nios Magnol, who walks with a cane despite looking no older than 17.
- Red Hair
- Every member of the Magnol family has red hair. It is unknown exactly as to why this is. No matter the physical traits of a Magnol child's non-Magnol parent, the child will ALWAYS end up with red hair.
Mental Traits Edit
- Extreme confidence
- In time, every Magnol becomes completely full of themselves. This can be in a reserved way, where they keep rather quiet and only get vocal about their abilities when questioned, or it can be much more obvious, when some Magnol will gladly inform you how skilled they are.
- Arrogance
- Due to their innate power and confidence, many Magnol let this go to their heads. It's not out of the ordinary for a Magnol to speak greatly of their own power or even make others feel inferior to them. To outsiders, many of the Magnol can be downright obnoxious.
- Vanity
- Generally, the Magnol are obsessed with physical beauty. They are constantly concerned with their looks, style, and manner of dress. It's not unusual to see a Magnol fixing their hair, or adjusting the fit of their clothing instead of concentrating on the task at hand.
History Edit
The history of the Magnol is shrouded in mystery. Although the people of Azeroth seem to know nothing about them, and have no official records of their existence, the Magnol believe they have been around for centuries. The only known document of Magnol history is an old tome contained in the Magnol Athenaeum. Translated from Malic Xanthe, a key passage reads as follows:
"Mortality is our sole curse. Many seek its power, and fall short... but they do not approach it correctly. The essence of life is youth. Within youth is beauty. Power favors the beautiful. Those who seek perfection must first achieve physical perfection. We have achieved this, and in time, the powers will grant us everything we desire."
The tome goes on to explain that through various spells, and experiments, the founders of the Magnol family were able to obtain a look of eternal youth and beauty in their quest, but immortality remained out of reach. Many ideals that the Magnol still practice and believe in today are all found within its pages. The author of the tome is unknown.
For the most part, the Magnol stayed reclusive on their island, studying to improve their skill, and the ways of magic. Over the years they've only been known to visit the mainland in order to study it, assist the armies of Lordaeron when asked, and gather the most beautiful and skilled magic users to become suitors to further the Magnol bloodline. The Magnol fear the stagnation of their bloodline, and do not allow Magnol to court other Magnol, regardless of the distance of their actual relation.
Shortly before the fall of Dalaran, the Elder Nios Magnol warned of a great calamity that would befall the human race. In order to protect themselves, the elders of the Magnol family used their powers to hide the island from this plane of existence. The Magnol, since then, have become even more reclusive, and most everyone on Azeroth no longer knows of their existence. The Magnol, however, still believe they are well renowned legends in Azeroth.
There is rumor that Magnol who were expelled from the clan and family also wander Azeroth. Some deny their heritage, others are plainly unaware of it.
Magnol Manor Edit
The area in which the entire family and clan of the Magnol reside. Magnol Manor is located on an island formerly off the coast of Silverpine Forest. Now that the island has been shifted from this plane of existence, the island is only accessible by waypoints created by the Magnol. Finding the island without a Magnol to transport anyone there is an impossibility.
Although Magnol Manor is only technically one area of the entire island the Magnol live on, the entire area itself is referred to as Magnol Manor, or more simply, "The Manor".
Magnol Academy Edit
The largest, and most populous area of the island, Magnol Academy is a massive garish collection of buildings, mostly consisting of classrooms, the dormitories, and the library, known as the Athenaeum. Students studying in the Arcane arts start learning here as young as age four, and do not officially graduate until they've passed all tests, and challenges. The average age for a graduate is twenty-four. Oftentimes after graduation, the former students eventually return to the Academy to become professors.
The Magnol AthenaeumEdit
Withing the walls of the Academy, lies a grand library, containing all the knowledge of the Magnol. There are many rare tomes here, but one will notice that most books found in the Athenaeum contain rather biased views of Azeroth, and the ways of magic. Many students spend a lot of their freetime here.
Magnol Manor Edit
Magnol Manor itself is a large spacious mansion with numerous rooms. Many Magnol not currently enrolled in the Academy, or sworn to the Sanctuary live here. The Manor consists mostly of the Magnol Elders and Archmages.
In front of the Manor lies the courtyard, which serves as the central hub to the other areas of the island. The Santuary lies to the east, while the Academy is located due west. The courtyard contains an extravagant fountain powered by arcane and frost energies, in which a large sphere of water is held aloft, and orbited by several smaller water spheres. The spheres break apart and spray upward at timed intervals. Near the fountain are several benches and tall, thin trees. Those who have been to Outland would notice, if gazing upon the courtyard, that the layout bears an eerie resemblance to the Scryer's Tier in Shattrath City.
South of the courtyard lies a flat stone floor, surrounded by strange glowing runes and obelisks. This is the Magnol Waypoint, where all Magnol and guests traveling to the island will appear. It's the only connection to the plane of existence where Azeroth is located.
The Holy Sanctuary Edit
A large cathedral located east of the courtyard. The Sanctuary serves as a place of worship, study as well as living quarters for the Magnol Priests and Adepts in training. The area is lush and lined with flowers and trees. A vast herb and flower garden lies to the left of the Sanctuary and is often tended to by the Adepts.
The Forbidden Sanctum Edit
To the rear of the Sanctuary, lies a heavily guarded enclosure. At all times, two Magnol stand guard on either end of the doorway leading to the corridor. Within this area lies the Forbidden Sanctum, where the Magnol Warlocks study and summon various demons and dark arts. The inside of the Sanctum is unlike the dusty, decrepit crypts and cellars where most Warlocks of Azeroth dwell. The Sanctum is lined with candles, and ornate floors and walls of polished marble. A large chandelier hangs above the floor where various symbols are carved and rituals are performed. One may mistake the Sanctum as a ballroom of sorts.
Known Members of the Magnol in Azeroth Edit
Falah Magnol
- ((The Magnol Clan is played primarily on the Steamwheedle Cartel RP server.))

"There is nothing remotely fashionable about the torture and death of animals killed for fur." - Yvonne Taylor
Facts About Fur
Still not sure that fur is a cruel and out-of-date fashion tradition? Please read the following fur facts and think again...
- There are currently no laws to protect animals on fur farms.
- Steel-jaw leghold traps kill and maim dogs, cats, raptors, and numerous other "non-target" species.
- Animals sometimes suffer for days in traps. They are starving, thirsty, and frequently chew their own legs off in an effort to escape.
- On average, it takes 55 wild minks to make one full-length fur coat.
- Despite the information offered by some fur retailers, animals killed for fur live lives of fear and panic, only to then be killed by poisoning, anal electrocution, or having their necks broken.
- Sometimes the animals don't die immediately, and they are skinned while still alive and conscious.
Hopefully you now agree that there is nothing beautiful, glamorous, or sexy about fur, so if you have some laying around, it is time to give them back!

Washington D.C. [U.S.A], January 4 (ANI): 'Pacific Rim' was one of the most un-expected hits of 2013 and as soon as it was announced that there will be a sequel to the movie, everyone thought that Guillermo Del Toro will be helming the second installment.
But quashing dreams of his fans, the veteran director has claimed he isn't directing 'Pacific Rim Uprising' because of the lengthy wait between shoots, reports Contactmusic.com.
While speaking to a leading US entertainment website, the 53-year-old filmmaker shared that he stepped away from the sequel as his other projects took over and he no longer had the time to dedicate to the feature.
He noted, "I prepped my version of 'Pacific Rim 2', which was I developed the screenplay, I storyboarded and designed the creatures and the robots and all that. And then that suspension of six months, I left and helped select the new director, Steven DeKnight, and that was about it."
Guillermo instead worked on 'The Shape of Water', for which he is now receiving critical acclaim, but admits he only stepped away from 'Pacific Rim Uprising' because of a delay caused by another film taking up the studio space they were supposed to use to film the sequel.
"You have a thing called a hold on the stages. When you get a hold on Pinewood Studios, they hold the stages for you. But if somebody challenges you, which, in this instance, was 'xXx 3' - the one with Vin Diesel. They came in and challenged us. And Legendary [Pictures] said we're not going to challenge that, and that meant delaying the movie at least six or seven months," explained Del Toro.
'Pacific Rim Uprising' is set to star John Boyega, who will play Jack, the son of Idris Elba's leading character from the first movie, Stacker Pentecost.
The flick is scheduled for release in March this year. (ANI)

Technology or Monopoly Power, por Paul Krugman:
Nick Rowe makes a good point, however, which is not so much a critique of the robot story as a general puzzle. Income has been shifting to capital, which would seem to increase the return to investment; but real interest rates are low by historical standards, and were low even before the financial crisis, suggesting that maybe the return to investment is if anything low. You might be able to make some headway here by stressing the different between safe assets and risky investments, but it is a puzzle.Usando uma linguagem que suspeito Krugman ou Rowe não estejam habituados, parece que o puzzle económico que eles estão a tentar explicar consiste em, simultaneamente, estarmos a ter uma pauperização relativa da classe trabalhadora (ou um aumento da mais-valia relativa) e uma quebra da taxa (marginal) de lucro.
Rowe suggests that a third factor, land, may be soaking up the excess returns and being misclassified as part of capital income. Logically, this could be true; I have doubts about whether it can be a major factor empirically, although obviously the thing to do is check it out
But there's another possible resolution: monopoly power. Barry Lynn and Philip Longman have argued that we're seeing a rapid rise in market concentration and market power. The thing about market power is that it could simultaneously raise the average rents to capital and reduce the return on investment as perceived by corporations, which would now take into account the negative effects of capacity growth on their markups. So a rising-monopoly-power story would be one way to resolve the seeming paradox of rapidly rising profits and low real interest rates.
As they say, this calls for more research; but the starting point is to realize that there's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear, but it's potentially really important.

The National Ballet of Canada's Nijinsky in San Francisco
above: Guillaume Côté in Nijinsky. Photo by Aleksandar Antonijevic.
The National Ballet of Canada presented the full-length ballet Nijinsky (2000), choreographed by award-winning John Neumeier, opening on Tuesday April 3, 2018 for a short run, produced by San Francisco Ballet as Program 6, at the War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco. This Nijinsky is a fascinating journey set in 1919 with the last time the iconic dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky dances in public, at the ornate setting of a ballroom in the Suvretta House Hotel in St. Moritz. Through memories Nijinsky reflects on his major roles as other dancers mirror him as the characters Nijinsky excelled in, dancing phrases and motifs from the original choreography – sometimes together – while Nijinsky, played brilliantly by Guillaume Côté imagines his life, his identity as an artist, and his great love for his mentor Serge Diaghilev, through turbulent times.
A well dressed audience assembles in the balcony of the ballroom and Côté as Nijinsky makes a dramatic entrance for his final performance. Neumeier, so inspired by Nijinsky's life also designed the sets, costumes and concept for the lighting design. He has created a wonderful production which flows back and forth through Nijinsky's major roles at the Ballet Russes, interspersed with characters from his own life. It's dramatic and the complicity of witnessing this momentous time in Nijinsky's life at the end of a compact but glittering career is compelling as Neumeier's Nijinsky allows us a glimpse of his inner thoughts, feelings and eventual madness.
Act I encompasses Nijinsky's well-known roles including Harlequin in Carnaval wearing a colorful diamond patterned costume, the poet in Les Sylphides, the Golden Slave in Schéhérazade, the Spectre de la rose, L'Après-midi d'un faune, Jeux and Le Sacre du Printemps. It's bright, colorful with large vibrant ensembles, emotive duets, trios and theatrical mise en scène. Nijinsky's family appears during the reverie of a virtual history of ballet – Bronislava, his sister (Jenna Savella), Stanislav, his brother (Dylan Tedaldi), his mother (Xiao Nan Yu), his father (Brent Parolin) and his wife Romula (Heather Ogden). Act 2 is darker and Harlequin's costume is now gray and black symbolizing Nijinsky's downward spiral, as he is haunted by sadness and the spectre or war is on the horizon.
Neumeier's choreography, beautifully danced by the entire company is complex, with idiosyncratic movement of outstretched hands rising at different levels, precision footwork en pointe, obscure arms and folding legs with flexed feet – much of the original choreography was considered radical at the time, but now feels contemporary. David Briskin conducted the accomplished San Francisco Ballet Orchestra playing the enthralling and dramatic music of Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Dmitri Shostakovich, with soloists, Viola by Yi Zhou and Piano by Andrei Streliaev. There's also a spritely tennis player, a line of dancers in top hats, transforming surreal sets with two huge circular neon rings that float and merge slowly and more, breathtakingly tender duets and contact movement with Diaghilev (Evan McKie) the Faun (Francesco Gabriele Frola and Félix Paquet) and a very poignant pas de deux with Nijinsky and his wife (Ogden). There's so much to admire in this work visually and viscerally, you just have to go and experience it!

Not all people like lugging around a large crossbow when they go hunting, for them a compact, yet still very effective pistol crossbow is a good way of stopping their prey dead in its tracks. Take the deadly stealth
and silence of regular bows and crossbows, combine it with the compact design of a hand gun, and what you end up with is a very effective hunting implement.
Accuracy and silence are the main selling points of a pistol crossbow. Just like a regular-sized crossbow, the pistol-type crossbow also shoots bolts made of plastic and metal,
they are just shorter. Seeing as the bolts are shorter, they will naturally have a shorter distance of travel, and you need to get pretty close to your prey before you can pull the trigger.
Since you can fire off a bolt without giving away your position to your target, you can easily set up for your next shot before it even realizes what is going on.
So if you are looking for a hunting tool that lets you stalk your prey a whole lot easier, it is recommended that you try the compact, yet still very deadly pistol-style crossbow. Do not let its size fool you; the pistol crossbow still packs a lot of stopping power which you can use to take down even large prey animals.

case study
Deceptive Marketing
Attivo Networks Inc. takes a bold new approach to exhibiting by deceiving attendees, ultimately netting seven times as many leads as it had the previous year. By Ben Barclay
The exhibit's inception started when Attivo's marketing team took an honest look in the proverbial company mirror. What they saw staring back at them was an organization that had outgrown its past exhibiting practices. Prior to Black Hat USA 2017, Attivo, founded in 2011, had maintained a small trade show footprint, utilizing basic booths on a meager budget. In an attempt to compete for attention among a field of colossal cybersecurity firms – many of which operate with seemingly bottomless exhibit-marketing war chests – Attivo chose to invest in a larger 20-by-20-foot exhibit. But that increased investment needed to drive an equally enlarged return, which is why the company set a goal of generating four times more leads than in 2016, when the organization exhibited in a 10-by-10-foot booth.
Carolyn Crandall, chief marketing officer at Attivo, decided the company should consider offering up a memorable experience that might lodge key messages in attendees' brains long enough for them to take root and outlast the event's duration. "As a new, emerging vendor, it was really hard to figure out how to cut through the noise and convince people to visit our booth and give us a few minutes to understand who we are and why we're different than other cybersecurity firms," Crandall says. So to overcome that challenge, she and her team determined that an engaging exhibit offering a unique activity could draw enough traffic to meet the company's ambitious lead-gathering goal, generate public-relations buzz, build brand awareness, and demonstrate the efficacy of its products.
But even with a rough idea in place, Crandall still had to face an all-too-prevalent dilemma among software companies: How do you educate and excite attendees about an intangible and abstract product in a trade show exhibit?
Looks Can be Deceiving
Attivo's software uses decoys and deception tactics to engage and ensnare cyberattackers who manage to infiltrate its clients' networks. Latching onto that characteristic, Crandall and her team chose to make deception the central element of their exhibit-marketing campaign by actively deceiving attendees – albeit in a playful manner. They would place booth visitors in the role of an attacker trying to hack a network protected by Attivo's products by using a hall of mirrors in a whimsical role-play scenario that would enable the company to explain how it detects, disorients, and deceives cyberthreats.
A contemporary spin-off of classic funhouses, which pop up at carnivals and fairs and usually rely on warped mirrors to get some giggles from children, halls of mirrors are more elegant in comparison. By using a hall of mirrors' characteristic angled, reflective surfaces and dead ends to disorient and befuddle attendees, Crandall felt she could create a singular and undeniably memorable experience that parallels the company's approach to cybersecurity.
There were several reasons Attivo signed on to this rather nontraditional marketing campaign. First, there's a game-like quality to mirror mazes that make them almost irresistible, so a high-quality maze would likely increase traffic. Second, the activation would serve as a funnel, as once attendees entered, they'd eventually have to come out the exit and into the waiting arms of sales reps who could then guide them to display stations and demo the cybersecurity platform. Third, the maze would educate potential clients by conceptually exposing them to what an attacker's encounter with Attivo's software looks like. And fourth, the novelty of a hall of mirrors on the trade show floor might result in scoring some media attention.
Whimsical touches added a sense of levity to Attivo Networks Inc.'s hall of mirrors. One vinyl decal suggested that attendees "Go left" above an arrow that pointed right. There was even a disco ball suspended over the message "Do you like to dance?"Through the Looking Glass
While Attivo was confident Crandall and her team had a worthwhile concept, the firm was confronted with a couple of challenges. The company's purchase of a 20-by-20-foot exhibit meant the marketers had only 400 square feet to work with, an exceedingly limited space compared to commercial mirror mazes, which are frequently four times that size.
The good news was that Crandall didn't need (or want) attendees to stay in the maze for an extended period of time, since sales reps were waiting at the other end to hook qualified leads. She figured a 90-second experience in the hall of mirrors would serve the exhibit's purpose. Still, to make sure 400 square feet wasn't too limiting, Crandall and her team found a roll of blue painter's tape and some open space in their office, where they spent multiple days mocking up a viable floor plan for an exhibit they dubbed the Deception Hall of Mirrors.
Crandall felt the exhibit had the potential to be a brilliant success or a spectacular failure, depending on whether attendees were dazzled by the experience or found it a corny and overwrought attempt to convey Attivo's message. Since the marketing team had never seen a mirror maze on a show floor, it couldn't be certain which way the scale of public perception would tilt. So in order to shift the scales in her favor, Crandall contacted Czarnowski Display Service Inc., an exhibit house she'd worked with in the past. "I decided that if we were going to put ourselves so far out on a limb, I needed to make sure we had a strong partner with us," Crandall says.
The hall of mirrors exhibit was a new puzzle for the Czarnowski design team as well. "My immediate reaction was, 'I've never done that before,' and I've done a lot of things in my 25 years in the industry," says Kim Merkin, director of West Coast sales for Czarnowski. But she and her team were convinced they could deliver. So with a theme established and partners selected, Attivo and Czarnowski stepped through the looking glass.
Mirror, Mirror
Amid the electronic glitz and glamour of Black Hat, Attivo's exhibit stood on orange carpet vividly delineating the company's space in its signature corporate hue. Eight-foot-tall walls covered in eye-grabbing messages and graphics enclosed most of the exhibit, concealing the hall of mirrors and saving only a corner of visible space for two kiosks adjacent to the exit where sales reps could demonstrate the software. Supported above the maze was a prominent matte-black header featuring the Attivo logo and Deception Hall of Mirrors title alongside the sweat-inducing query, "What's lurking in your network?"
Sales reps prowled the aisle near the exhibit's entrance, enticing people with a provocative question: "Do you want to know what it's like to be an attacker?" Staffers then scanned badges and filtered visitors into the maze, where a sign cautioned "You are now entering a state of altered reality" – a warning that real-life hackers do not have the benefit of receiving. Reps facilitated an uncongested experience by spacing out participants as they entered the maze. While attendees waited, Attivo filled the dead time by playing a looping video about the company's products on a large monitor near the entrance.
The exhibit's interior, brightly lit by tiny LEDs mounted to clear acrylic strips and sandwiched between the panes of mirrors, was a dazzling and disorienting maze with several possible routes and multiple places to get turned around. More than a few attendees, thinking they had finished the challenge, found themselves back at the entrance and had to be sent back in to complete the task.
Attivo Networks Inc.'s mirrored maze functioned as an experiential way for attendees to learn about the company's cybersecurity software.
Upon exiting the maze, attendees were greeted by staffers who engaged them with in-depth product demos that used the labyrinth experience as a reference.High-grade mirrored Plexiglas sheets produced a quality reflection and offered more safety than glass, which could prove dangerous if confused attendees happened to walk into it. The maze also boasted some funhouse-style mirrors constructed from Formica-brand mirrored laminate, while an infinity mirror near the exit cast countless reflections of attendees. In addition to the mirrors, Attivo installed a laser tripwire in the middle of the maze that sounded an alarm when triggered by passing participants, who were shocked by the resulting noise. The message: Attackers don't know what to expect should they stumble upon Attivo's software.
Although the primary intent of the mirrored maze was to disorient visitors, Attivo certainly wanted attendees to enjoy the experience. To that end, the company added some whimsical messaging in the form of vinyl decals. One mirror suggested that attendees "Go left" above an arrow that pointed right. There was even a suspended disco ball hung over the message "Do you like to dance?"
As perplexing and entertaining as the mirrored maze was, Crandall needed to ensure that attendees tied the labyrinth to Attivo's security software. A series of four daisy-chained speakers inside the maze crooned a looping 90-second voiceover message that explained how the attendees' experience was similar to that of a hacker inside a system protected by the company: "Like the mirrors you see around you, deception confuses attackers as they try to move laterally through your network looking for assets to compromise," the voiceover said. "Deception is also notably the only recognized security solution for slowing down the attacker as they, much as you are now, become engaged in a deception environment."
Out of the Looking Glass
Perhaps the exhibit's best feature, at least from a sales point of view, was the controlled exit where disoriented "attackers" were funneled to staffers. There, Attivo reps steered potential leads to kiosks where product experts used each lead's experience in the hall as a reference for explaining how the company's software defends against network hackers.
"The maze worked phenomenally well," Crandall says. "It got attendees to spend five to 10 minutes with us, whereas they might have spent 30 seconds in our previous exhibits. Needless to say, we got some really high-quality engagements." What's more, visitors spent those five to 10 minutes immersed in an unexpected activation that mirrored cybersecurity attackers' experiences and underscored Attivo's key messages and primary differentiators.
Reflecting on the Results
By the show's end, Crandall and her team knew the exhibit was a smashing success, and they had the metrics to prove it. Lead counts increased by seven times compared to the previous year, shattering the firm's goal of quadrupling sales leads. On top of that, the conversion rate for leads sourced at Black Hat were among the highest the company has ever seen – a result Crandall credits to the controlled exit that led booth visitors directly to waiting sales reps who were able to have longer-than-normal interactions with primed and curiosity-piqued prospects. The cherry on top was the fact that Attivo's unique exhibit also garnered valuable media coverage via a feature on Fox 5 Vegas and even a nod on BBC World News.
Besides turning heads, Attivo's exhibit demonstrated that it's entirely possible to turn the abstract into reality. Doing so required a pivot away from traditional exhibiting toward experiential marketing, as well as a clear and concise correlation between the mirrored maze and the company's cybersecurity services. In other words, it was Attivo's ability to ensure attendees connected the dots between the tangible and the intangible, i.e., the experience and the product, that made the Deception Hall of Mirrors much more than just a funhouse.

2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
NHTSA Defect Investigations
The Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) is an office within the NHTSA which investigates serious safety problems in the design, construction or performance of vehicles. The NHTSA is authorized to order manufacturers to recall and repair vehicles, if the ODI finds a safety issue. NHTSA investigations for the 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring, both ongoing and closed, are listed below:
INVESTIGATION: Headliner Bracket Detachment
NHTSA Defect Investigation #RQ13004
Component(s): Air Bags:Side/Window
Structure:Body:Roof And Pillars
Unknown Or Other
Summary: Hyundai is conducting a safety recall to reinforce the attachment of the metal support bracket to the headliner assembly in approximately 35,000 model year (MY) 2010-2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring vehicles built from December 15, 2009 through May 7, 2012 (see NHTSA recall 14V-310 for more information).These Elantra Touring vehicles have a common headliner bracket design while the earlier MY 2009-2010 Elantra Touring vehicles have a headliner bracket design that utilizes a shorter length bracket which, should it become separated from the headliner, is unlikely to be displaced into the path of the driver or any occupant.During this investigation, ODI identified a MY 2010 subject vehicle in a salvage yard with a deployed driver-side curtain air bag that showed the headliner bracket displaced downward into the driver's window area.Also, during a static side curtain air bag deployment test conducted by Hyundai, the headliner bracket almost completely separated from the headliner.The headliner tested came out of a MY 2010 subject vehicle.Finally, ODI identified two warranty claims on the subject vehicles that indicate potential headliner bracket issues.Warranty records for these claims indicate vehicle owners complaining of noise or rattling coming from the headliner area and Hyundai dealer technicians reported finding brackets that came loose or unglued from the headliner.ODI is not aware of any related injury allegations.This investigation was opened to evaluate the scope of NHTSA Recall (13V115) influenced by an earlier ODI investigation (EA12-008).EA12-008 involved the same defect issue on MY 2011-2013 Elantra models, and a similar remedy approach was utilized in the 13V115 recall action.Based on the recall action taken by Hyundai, this investigation is closed.

The mid-cap growth style ranks sixth out of the twelve fund styles as detailed in my Style Rankings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report.
Figure 1 ranks from best to worst the eight mid-cap growth ETFs that meet our liquidity standards, and Figure 2 shows the five best and worst-rated mid-cap growth mutual funds. The number of holdings varies widely (from 21 to 459), which creates drastically different investment implications and ratings. The best ETFs and mutual funds allocate more value to attractive-or-better-rated stocks than the worst, which allocate too much value to neutral-or-worse-rated stocks.
Figure 1: ETFs with the Best & Worst Ratings – Top 5
Figure 2: Mutual Funds with the Best & Worst Ratings – Top 5
Vanguard Mid-Cap Growth ETF (VOT) is my top-rated mid-cap growth ETF and Wasatch Funds Trust: Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund (WAHGX) is my top-rated mid-cap growth mutual fund. Both earn my neutral rating.
SPDR S&P 400 Mid Cap Growth ETF (MDYG) is my worst-rated mid-cap growth ETF and earns my dangerous rating. Loomis Sayles Funds II: Natixis Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (LAGRX) is my worst-rated mid-cap growth mutual fund.
Investors should not buy any mid-cap growth ETFs or mutual funds because none get an attractive-or-better rating. If you must have exposure to this style, you should buy a basket of attractive-or-better rated stocks and avoid paying undeserved fund fees.
Global Payments, Inc (GPN) is one of my favorite stocks held by mid-cap growth ETFs and mutual funds and earns my very attractive rating. GPN has grown its after tax cash flow (NOPAT) by 20% compounded annually for the past 11 years. It has not had a year where NOPAT declined since at least 2001, as far back as our model goes. Despite this fact, GPN is valued at only ~$49.90/share. This share price results in a price to economic book value ratio of 1.0, implying no future growth in NOPAT. This is a company that has grown profits every year this millennium. It seems unlikely that it will never grow NOPAT again.
American Campus Communities, Inc. (ACC) is one of my least favorite stocks held by mid-cap growth ETFs and mutual funds and earns my very dangerous rating. ACC has a return on invested capital (ROIC) of only 4%. It would need to double this to cover its 8% weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and start earning positive economic profits. Its valuation is sky high compared to its performance. ACC's share price of ~$46.70 gives it a price to EBV ratio of 67.0. This valuation implies the company will generate 21% NOPAT growth compounded annually for the next 16 years. Even in a seemingly rebounding real estate market, that level of sustained profit growth is a risky bet.
Review my full list of ratings and rankings along with reports on all 10 ETFs and 368 mutual funds in the mid-cap growth style.

DOH can 'more confidently' aid Dengvaxia recipients now: Duque
MANILA Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco Duque III on Thursday welcomed the Senate's passage of the PHP1.16-billion supplemental budget to help recipients of the Dengvaxia dengue vaccine, saying they can now more confidently provide the necessary treatment to those who may need it.
We're extremely gratified by the Senate's action approving the (anti-)dengue Dengvaxia supplemental budget, which is about 1.16 billion (pesos), Duque said in a Rehabinasyon press briefing in MalacaAang.
Finally, we will be able to more confidently provide the necessary surveillance, monitoring, treatment, interventions, and hospitalization for whoever among the population of close to 900,000 dengue vaccinees, he added.
According to Duque, the amount was demanded by the DOH from French pharmaceutical company Sanofi Pasteur about three or four months ago. It was later returned to the Bureau of the Treasury but needed the approval of both houses of Congress before it can be used.
President Rodrigo Duterte, in this third State of the Nation Address (SONA), certified as urgent the bill granting the DOH supplemental budget to finance the medical assistance to Dengvaxia recipients.
In May, the House of Representatives approved on third and final reading its version of the bill. The Senate passed its version on September 5.
Duque, meanwhile, said the Office of the President (OP) will soon reveal the names of the Asian experts who would assess if the controversial Dengvaxia vaccine is harmful.
As soon as possible. These are experts, they have the technical proficiency to study, to review all documents, to put together a report, he said. Baka pagdating, mailabas na natin yung desisyon ng OP patungkol sa pagbubuo ng panel of experts na manggagaling mostly from the ASEAN countries (Perhaps when they arrive, we can release the decision of the OP regarding the creation of a panel of experts coming mostly from ASEAN countries), he added.
The health chief said as part of the presidential directive, members of the panel must come from countries where the Dengvaxia immunization program was also implemented.
Earlier, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Asian experts are coming from Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and Sri Lanka.
Duterte will pick only three out of the four experts on the shortlist of disinterested parties who have no link with the government and Sanofi Pasteur, so as to settle the Dengvaxia case once and for all. (PNA)

Upcycled festive mirror, made from the left behindsNovember 29th, 2010 in member junk
southern_salvage, member
This festive mirror was made from upcycled ornaments found while junking. I am always in search of terrific vintage ornaments, but sometimes to get those you have to take the whole bag of the less desirables. I decided that these needed to have value too and I really am happy that all the stragglers have a home on this festive mirror

The Common Core math quiz that has everyone outraged isn't about Common Core -- it's worse
A bafflingly graded third grade math quiz caused a firestorm on Reddit last week, and has spread across the Internet, causing several people to question Common Core math standards and the teacher's implementation of them.
The quiz is on some of the most fundamental aspects of basic whole number multiplication and how students encountering multiplication for the first time can think about problems.
SEE ALSO: What the way you eat says about your personality
The first question asks the student to calculate 5 x 3 using repeated addition. The student wrote 5 + 5 + 5 = 15, and was marked wrong, with the teacher writing in the "correct" solution of 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15.
The second question prompts the student to calculate 4 x 6 using an array. The student drew an array with six rows and four columns, getting the answer that 4 x 6 =24. The teacher again marked the question wrong, and drew in a nearly identical array of four rows and six columns:
View post on imgur.com
One possible rationale for the grading scheme could be a formalistic issue: The curriculum or teacher might have formally defined multiplying together two whole numbers A and B as the total number of objects in a collection of A groups of B objects each. In that case, 5 x 3 would be defined officially to be 5 groups of 3, or 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.

A reminder today on German channel Pro7 "We love Michael Jackson" and "This is it"
I just saw the special on Pro Sieben "We love Michael Jackson". It was really good and entertaining and they did justice to the title. There was only one dropout with the report of a protetic nose and his surgery. But I'm really looking over it now because everything else was really well done and worlds better than the Vox docu on Saturday. Now Pro Sieben is showing TII.
Hallo Annita I think the same. I liked it very much, but Avram and the nose thing killed it.
I was at thr pro7 site and most people saying that the vox doku was way better. I really don`t understand it.
Here we go.... the full VOX documentary on Youtube or the download link: (1,65 GB/.avi) https://mega.nz/#!BLo3HKpa!_TutueCtI...ev9EWlsquMQKtE

SUPPORTER/FAN of MICHAEL JACKSON & NARUHINA
Not sure if this is the right thread as it's not a TV show but a radio show that will air on Radio Solent Saturday 9th at 11.04 UK Time.
Article from BBC
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47160940Forty years ago, two of music's biggest stars walked into BBC Radio 1 and sat down to review the week's new releases.
Michael Jackson and George Harrison spent the next 90 minutes discussing singles by Foreigner, Nicolette Larson and The Blues Brothers, as well as the stories behind their own songs.
The BBC discarded the show, keeping only a short clip. But now a rare recording has been found and restored.
Excerpts will be broadcast in a special documentary this weekend.
Netflix will be showing This Is It as from today.

Welcome to Digital Cinema Forum
The selected file is not a valid MXF picture track.
OK, just saw Terrence's reply. Pitivi did allow me to set parameters that to the untrained eye looked very much in compliance with DCP... Jasper JPEG2000 image codec, 24fps, 1998x1080 "Flat" aspect, 24-bit sample depth at 48KHz sample rate, etc. What you're saying is the underlying structure within the mxf container is still not JPEG2000? What gives?
Edit: OK, wait. Let's assume I have a DVD-quality VOB file ripped from the disc, fest.vob. I also have an edited AVI file (with the color bars and such cut out), fest.avi. Can someone give me an ordered list of steps to produce a DCP, or at least a functioning MXF?

Hello! 🙂
On 28th of July I went for the Deacons fashion show which was at Thika Road Mall.It was a battle of the stylists.7 stylists came together to style clothes from Woolworths ,Babyshop and 4U2 which now officially carries Zara.The climax was the launch of Zara and Massimo Dutti in Kenya at 4U2.After the fashion show I went to check out the Zara stuff they had in store but alas…disappointment.There was nothing as outstanding as they have on their online shops…Or did we get leftovers?! Any-who…
I met with fellow fashion bloggers.We met each other for the first time and it was awesome.Of course we took lots of photos but today I'll only post photos of my outfit.I'll do a part II of this post later because the photos are so many!
Here's me,hair let down, in a burgundy lace dress,black sheer stockings and gold-coloured pumps.I threw on a denim vest and wore pearls and a chunky bangle and finished the look off with a mustard sling bag.I also thought the chunky black belt was a great addition.I was going for girly and grunge.

Biological Activity
|T0070907 is a potent and selective PPARγ inhibitor with IC50 of 1 nM in a cell-free assay, with a >800-fold selectivity over PPARα and PPARδ.
|In vitro
T0070907 is a potent and selective PPARγ antagonist. With an apparent binding affinity (concentration at 50% inhibition of [3H] rosiglitazone binding or IC50) of 1 nM, T0070907 covalently modifies PPARγ on cysteine 313 in helix 3 of human PPARγ2. T0070907 blocks PPARγ function in both cell-based reporter gene and adipocyte differentiation assays. Consistent with its role as an antagonist of PPARγ, T0070907 blocks agonist-induced recruitment of coactivator-derived peptides to PPARγ in a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence-based assay and promotes recruitment of the transcriptional corepressor NCoR to PPARγ in both glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays and a PPARγ/retinoid X receptor (RXR) α-dependent gel shift assay. Studies with mutant receptors suggest that T0070907 modulates the interaction of PPARγ with these cofactor proteins by affecting the conformation of helix 12 of the PPARγ ligand-binding domain. Interestingly, whereas the T0070907-induced NCoR recruitment to PPARγ/RXRα heterodimer can be almost completely reversed by the simultaneous treatment with RXRα agonist LGD1069, T0070907 treatment has only modest effects on LGD1069-induced coactivator recruitment to the PPARγ/RXRα heterodimer. [1] T0070907 treatment inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration but does not significantly affect apoptosis. Molecular inhibition using a dominant negative (Δ462) receptor yields similar results. T007 also mediates a dose-dependent decrease in phosphorylation of PPARγ, and its ability to bind to DNA, and may directly affect mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. [2]
|Cell Data
|In vivo
|Lipopolysaccharide preconditioning significantly attenuates the development of renal dysfunction, hepatocellular injury, and circulatory failure as well as the increase in the plasma levels of interleukin-1 [beta] caused by severe endotoxemia. T0070907 can attenuate all of these beneficial effects afforded by preconditioning with lipopolysaccharide [3]
|Kinase Assay:[1]
- Collapse
Ligand Binding Assay:To determine the binding affinity of T0070907 to the PPARs, scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is performed with the following modifications. A 90-μl reaction contains SPA buffer (10 mm KH2PO4, 10 mm KH2PO4, 2 mm EDTA, 50 mm NaCl, 1 mm dithiothreitol, 2 mmCHAPS, 10% (v/v) glycerol, pH 7.1), 50 ng of GST-PPARγ (or 150 ng of GST-PPARα, GST-PPARδ), 5 nm 3H-labeled radioligands, and 5 μl of T0070907 in Me2SO. After incubation for 1 h at room temperature, 10 μl of polylysine-coated SPA beads (at 20 mg/ml in SPA buffer) are added, and the mixtureis incubated for 1 h before reading in Packard Topcount. [3H]Rosiglitazone is used for PPARγ, and [3H]GW2433 is used for PPARα and PPARδ.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, providing greater alertness and energy. Drink too much and you may find yourself overly anxious and jittery. Beverages containing caffeine have been enjoyed by mankind for many years, and it does have some beneficial properties. According to MayoClinic.com, tea contains less caffeine than coffee, but the content of either may be different every time you consume it. The same is true for other caffeinated drinks, such as cocoa. These variations exist due to a number of factors, including method of preparation and strength.
Coffee contains more caffeine than any type of tea or cocoa. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee may vary widely depending on such considerations as how it is roasted and ground, and the method used for brewing. The length of time that coffee is brewed also affects the caffeine content. An 8-ounce cup of coffee may contain as little as 95 mg of caffeine, or as much as 200 mg, notes MayoClinic.com. If you wish to reduce your intake, add in some decaf and gradually increase the amount.
Consider the many different types of teas. Green tea contains less caffeine than black tea, and so is a good choice if you wish to consume less. Tea also has beneficial properties. It has been associated with bone density, weight loss, a lower rate of kidney stones and a decreased risk of heart attack, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. An average 8-ounce cup of black tea contains between 40 to 120 mg of caffeine, while a similar cup of green tea contains between 9 and 50 mg of caffeine. To reduce the amount of caffeine in your tea, try brewing it for a briefer period of time.
Drink hot cocoa for a soothing alternative to either coffee or tea. While cocoa does contain caffeine, a 5-ounce cup has a mere 1 to 8 mg. If you wish to cut down on the amount of cocoa you drink, it will not be as difficult since there is much less caffeine involved. Try mixing in more milk while reducing the amount of cocoa powder in a cup, or mix the cocoa powder with hot water.
Benefits and Precautions
Consider that caffeine has been shown to benefit breathing problems, such a asthma, by dilating the airways. On the other hand, an overabundant amount of caffeine can cause a host of problems, including increased heart rate, headaches, stomach upset and difficulty sleeping. It can also dehydrate you. Frequent consumption of caffeine creates tolerance, in which case more of the substance is required to achieve the same effect. When cutting down on caffeine, a gradual reduction is preferable.

Yard sale
We had a great time at our yard sale this year even though it was eighty five degrees in the shade we manage to sell at least twenty five percent of the stuff that we set up. My husband was hoping to sell a parts ATV that he's had for many years just to keep the good ATV up and running. The parts ATV was complete with the exception of motor and plastic asking four hundred dollars for the whole 2008 Polaris Outlaw. I guess nobody has the money these days.

Contra Costa County library officials were all set to hire political consultant Fred Register to run their campaign for voter approval of a new library tax, but that was before the defeat of San Diego's Proposition L, which Register handled. Now, officials in the cities of Concord and San Ramon are considering pulling out of the county-run system and forming a partnership with John F. Kennedy University to set up a library on the school's new campus planned for Concord. Still, county supervisor Mark DeSaulnier is trying to convince the local taxpayers' association not to oppose a ballot try, which, like San Diego's, would be its second, says the San Francisco Chronicle ... A trio of high-powered Democratic political consultants is heading to San Diego to set up shop. Marty Stone, Dawn Laguens, and Martin Hamburger told Roll Call last week they had formed the firm Laguens/Hamburger/Stone, with Stone, who was the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Western political director in 1998, running the West Coast branch here. Laguens was reportedly the brains behind the No on 226 campaign, the labor-financed effort that beat back Pete Wilson's anti-union dues measure ... La Jollan Herb Meistrich, once partnered with Sam Marasco and Ron Hahn in an effort to bring a pro basketball team to San Diego, has just bought the Clevelander Hotel, a landmark in Miami, Florida's South Beach. Meistrich told the Miami Daily Business Review that his company, Meistrich Capital Resources, paid a total of $16.5 million and plans to spend another $2 million on renovations. "I believe in buying enduring assets, and they are driven by location," Meistrich told the paper.
First the Cup, Now This
The pilot for a TV series set in Rhode Island will be shot in San Diego against the wishes of its creator and producer. Michael Steinberg, whose credits include There's Something About Mary, told the Providence-Journal Bulletin last week that The Caseys, a show about a paraplegic father played by Clancy Brown, was set to be filmed in Providence, until Twentieth Century Fox moved the show to San Diego. "It was not my decision. I wrote it for Rhode Island and wanted to shoot in Rhode Island. It was a studio money decision." According to the paper, while in San Diego Steinberg will "avoid recognizable locations and shoot in outlying areas." ... Marlon Jackson, brother of Michael and Janet and member of the old Jackson Five, who now lives in a downtown San Diego high-rise, is making plans for a new family cable TV network. Along with Evander Holyfield, Jackson is on the board of the Atlanta-based Major Broadcasting Network, a Baptist-oriented rival to PAX-TV. Jackson's daughter, Valencia, is set to host Rhythm and Praise, a Christian-oriented variety show for teenagers ... San Diego-born Kurt Howard has just become the first openly gay minister in Provo, Utah, according to Salt Lake City's Deseret News, taking over as pastor of the Provo Community United Church of Christ.

|About the programme
GPA 2018: All applicants admitted
Language: Danish | Place of study: Aarhus | Commencement: August / september
This programme is only offered in Danish.
In the subsidiary subject in Latin, you study the Latin language, culture, history and literature. You gain an insight into Roman literature from c. 200 BC to 400 AD and an introduction to the great Latin authors of later periods. You read works by writers such as Cicero, Caesar, Plautus, Ovid, Vergil, Catullus and Livius, and you can work with later authors like Francesco Petrarch and our own Danish author Ludvig Holberg. You read, translate, interpret and analyse texts, but you also work with modern linguistic science and its approach to the ancient texts. In addition, you learn about the influence of classical culture right up to the present day.
From republic to empire, from the Capitol Hill to the Vatican Hill
In addition to your studies of Latin literature, you work with Rome's development from a small village to the centre of a world empire whose political and social structures, such as its legal system, have influenced Western society right up to the present day. You learn about Roman history including everything from the battles against Hannibal and the destruction of Carthage to Caesar's conquest of Central Europe and Britain. You also learn about the early persecution of the Christians under Emperor Nero to Constantine the Great's acceptance of the Christian religion and his founding of Constantinople – now known as Istanbul.
If you take Latin as a subsidiary subject, it is an advantage if you have studied Latin and Greek at an advanced level at upper secondary school – but it is not a prerequisite. We offer courses in Latin and Greek that you can study concurrently with your actual degree programme, as your degree commences with subjects that do not require language skills. Even if you only study Latin, you are required to have knowledge of Greek equivalent to the advanced level at upper secondary school.
The propaedeutic course consists of two terms, finishing with an exam. These two terms provide you with sufficient knowledge to start the actual degree programme in the language in question. The propaedeutic course in each language has an official duration of six months of full-time study and entitles you to six months of additional support from the State Education Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark (SU).
If any of the following questions arouse your curiosity, Latin might be the right choice for you.
In order to be admitted to a supplementary subject, you have to be enrolled in a bachelor's degree programme at a Danish university. Furthermore, the academic regulations of the bachelor's degree programme have to allow for a combination with a supplementary subject.
You also have to meet the admission requirements for the supplementary subject in question. You can familiarise yourself with the requirements on the Danish version of this page by clicking on Danish in the top right corner.
Read more about admission to supplementary subjects.
As a student it is important to know the regulations for the chosen supplementary subject: what is the content, how is it structured and what does it require from you.
You can find this information in the academic regulations. There is a regulation for both bachelor's supplementary subject and master's supplementary subject:
In the following graphical presentation of the subject you can see the different modules and courses that, in addition, link to the course catalogue where you can read the course descriptions.
Since we have a new administration system, there are still some elements that do not work. We are working on the graphical presentation for the master's subject and adding links to the course catalogue.
Your teaching mostly consists of a combination of lectures, during which your teacher presents the material, and exercises where you and your fellow students make presentations. When working on a text, you take turns preparing a translation and interpreting it with the teacher.
Latin students are encouraged to form study groups. This is important for academic as well as social reasons, because you can exchange subject-related knowledge and learn from each other, as well as socialising outside university hours.
In addition to your studies, there are many other activities available in your spare time.
-experienced, photographed and filmed by the students themselves.
With thousands of pictures #yourniversity gives insight into the everyday life as a student at AU; the parties, procrastination, exams and all the other ways you'll spend your time at university.
The photos belong to the users, shared with #Yourniversity, #AarhusUni and course-specific AU-hashtags.
With a subsidiary subject in Latin, you are qualified to teach Latin and general language comprehension at upper secondary school. You should note, however, that Latin is a minor subject. It is therefore an advantage to combine it with a major subject, such as Danish, English, history or mathematics, as this provides you with better job prospects than a combination of two minor subjects or one minor and one medium subject.
For more information about work at upper secondary schools, see the University of Aarhus web site or gymnasiejob.dk.
In addition to teaching, a subsidiary subject in Latin enables you to work in the following areas:
As a student of Latin as a subsidiary subject, you acquire knowledge about:

HCG has become the most recent entry into the weight loss field and as such there are many doctors and clinics prescribing this for patients. You can even go online and order product via the internet. While freedom of information is a good thing, it has lead to an explosion of people who are selling and prescribing HGC, many of whom are not adequately trained.
The original research, as performed by A.T.W. Simeons, M.D. calls for a very specific diet protocol to be followed. With so many clinics and non physician based practitioners using HCG the original work by Dr. Simeons has gotten changed to be something that it isn't. Many clinics and weight loss establishments out there have modified his protocol to make it less restricted. This will affect patient results on the diet. The diet is by nature a restricted one and if changed the results will suffer. Many clinics and doctors are changing the work to make it easier for patients to adhere to the protocol. They have put in foods that are not supposed to be eaten while following the protocol and have made additions and subtractions in the name of marketing.
A good HCG Diet doctor will follow the protocol faithfully as that is what has been shown to work. The HCG hormone will be sourced from a trusted compounding pharmacy and will be clean of any contaminants. It will be a complete product not requiring anything additional. Follow up visits are recommended to consult with the patient and to allow them time for weigh ins, measurements and conversations concerning their progress on the program. No substitutions or additions to the protocol will be made and patients should be counseled to follow the program exactly. All changes to the program will affect results, so even if your results were good, they might have been better if you had followed the plan as it was researched.
Our HCG Diet Plan is Medically Supervised by some of the best doctors in the country! Matthew C. Popkin is a graduate of the University of Miami, School of Medicine, and completed his residency in two hospitals that were ranked in the TOP 17 Hospitals in the country according to the US News and World Report. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, and his Internal Medicine residency at Cleveland Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Popkin is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. Dr Popkin supervises our HCG Diet program and reviews each patient's progress on a weekly basis.
Abraham Freeman, D.C., CCN, DACBN has been a full time practicing chiropractic physician for the past 26 years. He received advanced training in nutrition and in 1996 became a Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN) and a Diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Nutrition, (DACBN) where he currently serves on the Board of Examiners. Dr. Freeman meets with each patient on a weekly basis to establish goals and to chart patient's progress with the diet.
Dr. Freeman was in solo practice for 18 years. In 2003 he and Chiropractor Kirk Whitten, D.C.,CCN, DACBN partnered up and opened one of the first truly integrated, multi-specialty health centers in Broward County. Dr. Freeman served as the practice director from 2003 until 2010.
In 2011 Dr. Freeman and Dr. Whitten joined together with Dr. Landon Agoado and Dr. Robert Herbst, two of the top Acupuncturists in Margate Florida, to open Care Wellness Center, a multi-disciplinary holistic health center. Together this unique team of physicians continues to serve northern Broward County from their new office located in Peppertree Plaza. Together, they strive to achieve optimal health for each and every patient that walks inside their wellness center's doors.
During his career as a chiropractic physician in Margate Florida, Dr. Freeman became one of the area's leading practitioners in migraine headaches and bulging and herniated discs. His nutrition studies led him to specialize in the relationship of nutrition to overall health and its relationship to obesity and structural problems of the spine and discs. His nutrition training also led him to investigate the relationship between diet, allergies, immune system function and stress related illness.
For a long time Dr. Freeman was a strong proponent of a healthy diet as a way to lose weight. However after working with patients with weight issues and seeing how difficult it was for patients to lose weight reliably and to keep it off by using strictly diet alone, Dr. Freeman began to look for more reliable ways in which to assist patients with this difficult problem.
In 2010 he came across the research of Dr. A.T.W. Simeons showing that HCG has a significant effect on abnormal fat loss and on the resetting of the metabolism for maintaining the weight loss after the diet is over.
After studying the research done by Dr. Simeons, Abraham Freeman in conjunction with HCG Diet Doctor Matthew C. Popkin, M.D. began to utilize HCG as a weight loss adjunct. Patients are initially medically screened to insure that there are no contraindications for the HCG diet. Once screened the patient works with one of the physicians and is thoroughly instructed in how to administer the diet. Patients are weighed, measured and given follow up appointments. Counseling is available 24/7 for any questions concerning the diet. On weekly basis patients see a physician where they are weighed in and measurements taken to determine their progress. At this point any problems or patient concerns are addressed and the diet is refined specifically for that patient. All patients are advised for the duration of the program and during the weekly consultations gain a through understanding of how to keep the weight off.
HCG is contraindicated for patients who have any history of clotting concerns such as Deep Vein Thrombosis, are taking any type of anticoagulant medications, have any type of bleeding disorders, or who have had a stroke. Insulin dependent diabetics need close medical supervision by their HCG Diet Doctor while on HCG.
Our HCG Diet Doctor provides nutritional and weight loss support with HCG to the residents of Margate, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Parkland, Boca Raton and Pompano Beach Florida. Call 954-586-8079 to schedule a free consultation today!
