What (digital) footprints are made of
Personal data is commodified, privacy is to be paid for: this is the virtual world we live in. It's a messy, evolving, and complex landscape, where so much is still up for grabs and what us valued remains to be made clear.
Footprints used to be visible. When the world became digital, footprints transformed too: no longer tangible tracks in the sand but implicit, unavoidable, and indelible computational points in a virtual universe. Over the past few years, a new market of personal data services has emerged, where data is the proverbial footprint and products and services aim to make it visible, controllable, and marketable. It's a world of privacy and value, concealment and control, where freedom, personal agency and basic human rights are at stake.
The ideology of data
Every personal data service starts with an ideology. Although most talk the same talk, about 'empowering users' and 'giving control back to the people', beneath the surface there is often a fundamental belief about what the value of data is and, as a result, what the business model should look like. Some organisations, like Personal, give people a platform to store their data. The onus on how that data is used is entirely up to the user; the importance here is privacy and, at a fixed price per month, in paying for the opportunity to have it.
Other organisations assume that data should be shared and sold, like Meeco who position themselves as facilitators in the 'MeEconomy', or Datacoup, who act as true brokers of the personal data storage world. In their model data is priced depending on fluctuations in the market; users choose to sell their data at any moment to datacoup (for "real, cold hard cash"), who then resell it to third parties at a competitive price. It's capitalism at its most extreme.
Either as a piece of one's self to be safely stored, or as an impersonal entity priced like oil, gold or gas in the commercial market, personal data is transformed by the virtual into something, however abstract it might appear, that has a financial value.
Commodification of the footprint
Here, the digital footprint is commodified, albeit in different ways. Either as a piece of one's self to be safely stored, or as an impersonal entity priced like oil, gold or gas in the commercial market, personal data is transformed by the virtual into something, however abstract it might appear, that has a financial value.
What this means does not necessarily point to a dystopian world, but it does demand question and caution. If personal data is seen to be distinct from the 'real' self, will people pay less attention to who they share it with and sell it to? If data is a commodity, will monetary reward and self-censorship outweigh freedom of speech, creativity, and true anonymity? If to protect those values one needs to pay for the privilege, does the personal data economy speak only to those with money and knowledge, and marginalize the vulnerable or those not in the know?
Visibility vs. control
The personal data economy obsesses about control. But what control really is and how to give it to citizens is not always seen in the same way. Datacoup for instance claims to empower through enabling people to visualize all of their online data in one space, but users have no say in where it goes to next. Other models open an avenue for people to choose which third parties view their data and how those interactions take place. Conversely, bodies concerned solely with data storage see citizen control as involving the choice about whether to even commoditise the data in the first place.
Again this speaks to the underlying ideology embedded in these systems. Some brokerage models mention being rooted in Privacy by Design principles, but if they nudge users towards sharing personal data do they truly give control? If visibility and transparency of the data market is the predominant offer, is that enough? When personal data services give just storage but no guidance, does that equally leave users with limited choice? What's the sweet spot? Education here is key. CitizenMe begins to address this, and clearly lays out people's virtual activity through clarifying terms and conditions agreements and exposed identities; if more personal data services had similar educational aims would they only then fulfil promises of empowerment and build trust in the long-term?
Growing awareness, growing demands
The personal data landscape is one where so much is up for grabs, and so much is moving quickly. Regulations are still being established, with communities like the UK's Digital Catapult Personal Data and Trust Network pushing for a common set of principles across professional bodies. Because of this, it's also a landscape where it's crucial to build in truly person-centred views. Now the consumers of these products and services are early adopters, tech-geeks and Silicon Valley businessmen, alongside the inevitable – but hopefully only occasional – criminal or two. As people become more aware of the implications of their online behaviour, and as technology innovation accelerates, the language, education provided, and service offer in the personal data market will have to adapt to a more diverse population and an ever rapidly changing digital world.
For any personal data store to be trusted, therefore, it must not only navigate regulatory frameworks but also people's expectations, desires, and levels of knowledge, along with the underlying political and ethical ramifications that thread through every seemingly innocuous design.
We're continuously looking into the role of trust in technology, and actively interested in building on this conversation and finding partners in this area. As always, give us a shout by email or on Twitter if you want to join in.
Mindset reminders:
- In the emerging personal data market, every single service rests on a particular ideological stance – whether purely capitalist or libertarian – about the value of personal data, what it's worth, and what their role in this landscape should be.
- Whichever way it's seen, personal data is commodified, with the potential to either reinforce or instead reduce social inequalities and power hierarchies.
- Consumer control is the centre of concern, but what this means can be interpreted in different ways; person-centred approaches become vital for the development of this rapidly evolving ecosystem.

"The world is currently enamored with Kate Middleton, and it's easy to see why. She and Prince William have been dating for seven years!
Of course, Will just put a ring on Kate's finger, and ever since then the public has been digging for details on the beautiful brunette. Still, the Huffington Post was more inclined to take a peek at her fashion choices throughout the years.
In 2006, Middleton was photographed at Laura Parker Bowles' wedding in a gorgeous getup. However, it was her accessories that left us in awe - the Brit was working a camel-colored poofy head piece that perfectly matched her adorable, super-feminine pumps.
The following year, the future royal was snapped by paparazzi wearing a casual semi-formal dress while leaving her apartment. The black and white creation featured a lovely leaf pattern and was paired with a gorgeous pair of black high-heeled boots and an elegant leather bag.
Finally, Middleton recently attended a friend's wedding in a gorgeous cobalt blue semi-formal dress. She complemented the creation with a trendy black blazer, dark high-heels and a regal, radiant hat.
With all these gorgeous creations, we have to wonder what took Will so long to pop the question? That prince is one lucky guy!"

Jonathan Davies Insists Wales Were Right To Replace Rob Howley With Stephen Jones
Wales centre Jonathan Davies insists it was the right call to bring in Stephen Jones to replace Rob Howley at the World Cup. Assistant coach Howley is now back home following an alleged breach of World Rugby's betting and anti-corruption regulations, and he faces a detailed investigation. With Howley gone from the camp, 104-times capped former Wales fly-half Jones will link up with the squad as attack coach in Toyota City on Thursday.
WRU Knew Of Betting Problem A Week Ago. . . But Say Rob Howley Had Already Got On The Plane
The Welsh Rugby Union knew a week ago they had a problem with alleged betting from inside the Wales camp. As the shock waves from the departure of Rob Howley was extending throughout the World Cup in Japan - which begins on Friday - his employers have tried to give an explanation of why the events moved from home to the eve of the tournament itself on the other side of the world. The governing body have revealed they were first made aware of the Wales backs coach's suspected breach of World Rugby's betting regulations last Wednesday following contact from one of the gambling industry's integrity teams.
Morris Hopes To Stay With JRM Bentley Team In 2020
Seb Morris hopes to stay with the JRM team in the British GT Championship next season, after finishing seventh in the drivers' standings after an encouraging first year in the team's Bentley Continental GT3. "JRM put together a brand new team for this year and they've done a superb job, I'm looking forward to hopefully being back with them next year – if they want me," said Morris. It's not been the easiest of seasons for the Wrexham-born driver, who endured more misfortune during the final British GT round at Donington Park last weekend. Running 60kg of ballast and less turbo boost, the unfavourable Balance of Performance (BOP) restrains ensured that the JRM Bentley of Morris and team-mate Rick Parfitt Jnr was the slowest GT3 car through the speed traps and consistently slower down on the competition along the straights.
All Bets Are Off For A Smooth World Cup For Wales As Rob Howley Flies Home
Wales' World Cup plans have been thrown into turmoil after Rob Howley was sent home from Japan. Former Wales captain and scrum-half Howley left Wales's training camp on Monday following an alleged breach of World Rugby's regulation six which covers anti-corruption and betting. Howley is understood to have been betting on matches, and has been provisionally suspended from all rugby matter matters until a disciplinary hearing - essentially ruling him out from any participation in the World Cup.

The dessert chain Pinkberry is all the rage in Southern California. They serve "frozen yogurt" in a clean, minimalist store with Philippe Starck furniture and sell designer accessories like $60 dog bowls.
I put quote around frozen yogurt because the Pinkberry Wikipedia page links to a now pay-blocked archive article in the LA Times in which they sent samples of Pinkberry to a lab that found that it did not contain enough bacterial cultures per gram to qualify to call their product "frozen yogurt" with all its attendant health benefits.
I think it tastes fresh, with more of that sour true yogurt taste than stuff like TCBY's in the 80's, but at $5 for a medium (8 oz) 3 topping yogurt, it ain't cheap, and the lines at the stores during peak hours are more than it's worth.
I don't know which store inspired which, but a whole host of frozen yogurt competitors have sprouted up, all clustering around similar sounding names. Besides Pinkberry, there's Red Mango, Kiwiberri, Snowberry, Yogurberry, IceBerry, and Berri Good. Straight from Korea to LA, it's the frozen yogurt revival.
Eric and I have discussed opening a business selling toppings right next door to Pinkberry locations. Customers could save the $0.95 they charge per topping by ordering their yogurt plain and then walking next door to choose from our even larger and cheaper selection of toppings. $0.95 for a teaspoon of Fruity Pebbles?

Litigation Release No. 21996 / June 13, 2011
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Phillip E. (Rick) Powell, (Case No. 6:11-cv-161, W.D. Tex. [Waco Division], filed June 10, 2011)
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Phillip E. (Rick) Powell, former chairman of the board of First Cash Financial Services, Inc. ("First Cash"), with illegal insider trading. The SEC's Complaint, filed in United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Waco Division), alleges that in early March 2008 Powell, while he was serving as the chairman of the board of First Cash, learned material, non-public information about the commencement of a company share buyback.
According to the Complaint, on November 6, 2007, the company had announced that it had authorized a buyback of up to 1 million First Cash shares. That announcement did not disclose when the authority would be exercised or even whether management would actually exercise the authority. The SEC alleges that Powell, through his position as chairman of First Cash's board of directors, later learned, among other things, that First Cash had decided to actually exercise its repurchase authority and was set to begin the repurchase.
According to the Complaint, Powell, armed with this material, non-public information, called his broker on March 11, the same day that First Cash entered into an agreement with JP Morgan Securities to facilitate the repurchase and the day before First Cash began repurchasing its shares. He instructed the broker to buy 100,000 First Cash shares. According to the SEC's Complaint, Powell insisted that the purchase needed to be made that day.
As alleged in the Complaint, Powell's pre-buyback purchases caused First Cash to overpay $36,000 for its own securities between March 12 and March 14, 2008. In addition, the SEC alleges that, as a result of the share price increase following disclosure that the buyback had commenced, Powell profited in the amount of $124,000 from his illegal purchase.
Powell is alleged to have repeatedly tried to hide his trading from First Cash and its shareholders. For example, the Complaint alleges that he misled another board member when he was warned against purchasing in advance of the buyback, and later he misled First Cash's chief executive officer when he asked about the trade. In addition, after his broker warned him that Commission rules required him to file a Form 4 disclosing his trade, he refused to do so and delayed filing his Form 4 until April 30, 2009, over thirteen months after it was required by Commission rules and only after he knew the Commission was investigating his trades.
The SEC's complaint alleges that, as a result of his conduct, Powell violated Sections 10(b) and 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5 and 16a-3 thereunder. The Commission seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of illicit profits with prejudgment interest, a monetary penalty, and an order barring Powell from serving as an officer or director of a public company.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

[Wailuku, Hawaiʻi] – The Hawaiian Islands Land Trust ("HILT") has achieved renewed land trust accreditation from the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance.
"The Hawaiian Islands Land Trust takes its job of protecting paradise seriously and that is why we take Accreditation seriously. Accreditation makes us stronger so that we can protect our paradisiacal lands long-term to sustain current and future generations," says Ted Clement, Executive Director for the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust. "I want to thank our Board of Directors, Staff, Island Councils, and other supporters for helping make this great accomplishment possible."
The Hawaiian Islands Land Trust is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the first nationally accredited land trust in Hawai'i, with a mission to protect the lands that will sustain us for current and future generations. HILT has conserved over 17,000 acres to date, via perpetual Conservation Easements and fee simple ownership, on a number of properties with various conservation values important to residents and visitors alike. The organization takes a uniquely Hawaiian and holistic approach to land conservation. We conserve lands that enable Hawai'i's long-term well-being, lands with agricultural resources, wildlife habitats, water resource areas, cultural and historical values, scenic vistas and outdoor recreation opportunities.
Hawaiian Islands Land Trust was awarded renewed accreditation this August and is one of only 280 land trusts from across the country that are now accredited. Accredited land trusts are authorized to display a seal indicating to the public that they meet national standards for excellence, uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent. The seal is a mark of distinction in land conservation.
"Hawaiian Islands Land Trust is one of the first land trusts to achieve renewed accreditation, a significant achievement for the land trust and significant major milestone for the accreditation program. They are an important member of the 280 accredited land trusts that protect more than half of the 20,645,165 acres currently owned in fee or protected by a conservation easement held by a land trust," said Commission Executive Director Tammara Van Ryn. "Accreditation renewal, which must be completed every five years, provides the public with an assurance that accredited land trusts continue to meet exceedingly high standards for quality."
Each land trust that achieved renewed accreditation submitted extensive documentation and underwent a rigorous review. "Through accreditation renewal land trusts are part of an important evaluation and improvement process that verifies their operations continue to be effective, strategic and in accordance with strict requirements," said Van Ryn. "Accredited organizations have engaged citizen conservation leaders and improved systems for ensuring that their conservation work is permanent."
According to the Land Trust Alliance, conserving land helps ensure clean air and drinking water; safe, healthy food; scenic landscapes and views; recreational places; and habitat for the diversity of life on earth. In addition to health and food benefits, conserving land increases property values near greenbelts, saves tax dollars by encouraging more efficient development, and reduces the need for expensive water filtration facilities. Across the country, local citizens and communities have come together to form more than 1,700 land trusts to save the places they love. Community leaders in land trusts throughout the country have worked with willing landowners to save over 47 million acres of farms, forests, parks and places people care about, including land transferred to public agencies and protected via other means. Strong, well-managed land trusts provide local communities with effective champions and caretakers of their critical land resources, and safeguard the land through the generations.
About the Land Trust Accreditation Commission
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, based in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., inspires excellence, promotes public trust and ensures permanence in the conservation of open lands by recognizing land trust organizations that meet rigorous quality standards and that strive for continuous improvement. The Commission, established in 2006 as an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, is governed by a volunteer board of diverse land conservation and nonprofit management experts from around the country. See a complete list of all recently accredited land trusts online at http://www.landtrustaccreditation.org/newsroom/press-releases. More information on the accreditation program is available on the Commission's website, www.landtrustaccreditation.org.
About The Land Trust Alliance
The Land Trust Alliance, of which Hawaiian Islands Land Trust is a member, is a national conservation group that works to save the places people love by strengthening conservation throughout America. It works to increase the pace and quality of conservation by advocating favorable tax policies, training land trusts in best practices and working to ensure the permanence of conservation in the face of continuing threats. The Alliance publishes Land Trust Standards and Practices and provides financial and administrative support to the Commission. It has established an endowment to help ensure the success of the accreditation program and keep it affordable for land trusts of all sizes to participate in accreditation. More information can be found at www.landtrustalliance.org.

Do you know who Eric Schiffer is? I don't, but it seems that he is a "famous" hollywood star, acting in blockbuster movies like "Boys club". He is also a "bestselling" author (Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1,467,418 ) of the book Emotionally charged Learning. If you are a huge fan of "popular" Eric Schiffer, you can find him hanging out at the set in Glagow or you can read about him in his "fascinating" I-phone interview. You can see him as the official "co-socialite" of Paris Hilton and you will be able to watch him as the main actor in a Bollywood blockbuster. And if you haven't guessed it by now, the "handsome, charming" celebrity author also loves animals.
To be honest, I don't really care about Eric Schiffer and I don't care about his PR person efforts to increase his online visibility. The example above shows you what paid blog postings can do. The postings don't only delute search results (which is not the biggest issue), but create nonsense with absolute no value for anybody. Not even Eric Schiffer himself.
This posting doesn't mean that I condemn paid blog postings (I even have a TLA banner on the right), but I sometimes agree with Matt Cutts when him and the Google team "threatens" to penalize sites, that create paid blog posts. The relatively new Google spam reporting system is a little bit harsh, but currently I don't see another way for Google to keep their index clean. Bloggers and other publishers have it still in their hand to produce anything else but "nonsense". And as long as the "anything else" is of at least a little bit value, I doubt that Google will penalize the site. Paid or not!
Google certainly won't change their policy unless someone (maybe you?) comes up with a better solution. So back to work...

Press conference to present an exciting Opera season
Opera lovers flocked to the Salle Garnier at high noon on Thursday, April 23, 2015, for Jean-Louis Grinda's presentation of yet another exciting Opera season 2015-2016. Among the distinguished personalities present seated on first row we would like to mention: Jean Charles Curau, Director of Cultural Affairs of Monaco; Daniel Boeri, President of the Commission of Culture and Heritage; Patrice Cellario, newly appointed Interior Minister of Monaco; and the President of the Friends of the Opera Association Dieter Spaethe.
When the Opera shares the stage with the environment
Grinda's discourse was preceded by the signing of an agreement between the Opera of Monte-Carlo and the Albert II of Monaco Foundation represented by their Vice President and CEO Bernard Fautrier, becoming the 50th signatory of the Charter on Wood with the mission to fight against deforestation. The Opera of Monte-Carlo is thus committed to adopt a virtuous attitude in the use of wood and its derived products in the staging of their oeuvres.
A season to remember!
Before unveiling the upcoming season's program the curtains opened to reveal on stage the member of the Chorus of the Opera of Monte-Carlo under the direction of Stefano Visconti, that delighted us with a brief but delightful performance. The presentation of the new season is done with creativity and flair!
Since its inauguration in 1879, the Opera of Monte-Carlo attracts the best artists of their time to the magnificent Salle Garnier. In the upcoming season they will continue to feature outstanding singers like Bryn Terfel, Marcelo Alvarez, Eva-Maria Westbroek, Ildar Abdrazakov and more, in renowned pieces like Tosca, Norma, or even to those to be played for the first time in Monaco, like: The Wally, The Player and Attila. Among those great artists one deserves a special mention, the fantastic Cecilia Bartoli, who will be interpreting Norma. This will be the first stage of a partnership of six years during which the Opera of Monte-Carlo will accompany her in the realization of her artistic selections. Thanks to her presence in the Principality a new ensemble of baroque music is being created, baptized "The Musicians of the Prince" that will accompany Bartoli in some of her tours.
- November 11, 2015 – The Heroes concert of Haendel by Nathalie Stutzmann
- November 16-22, 2015 – Tosca with Martina Serafin
- December 18, 2015 – Concert Ramon Vargas-Angela Gheorgiu-Ludovic Tezier

Clara is that rare specimen of science-fiction in which the fiction doesn't overwhelm the science. If you don't come away with a new appreciation for orbital planet-hunting telescopes, you're watching it wrong. Same goes if you aren't caught up in its wounded central characters, a disillusioned astronomer and his wanderlusty assistant.
Patrick J. Adams stars as Isaac, a man with a tragic relationship backstory, and a new love named TESS. That's the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, launched earlier this year and already adding to the tally of almost 4,000 known planets outside our system. When Isaac advertises for a lab assistant, the only applicant is Clara (Troian Bellisario), who has no skills but a keen mind and boundless curiosity.
With her talismanic collection of stones from every continent, Clara isn't your typical would-be scientist. But her lack of knowledge allows writer/director Akash Sherman to educate us through her, as Isaac teaches her how the light from the stars can be analyzed to find planets, and maybe even life. Of course, along the way they start to develop feelings for one another.
Shot in Toronto, Clara makes the most of its shoestring budget, with Sherman helping out on visual effects to produce some eye-catching imagery. His image of an aircraft shadow is not only a beautiful alternative to the hackneyed plane-landing shot, but a clever callback to the technique for spotting planets. And I loved the blink-and-miss-it shot of a sign reading: "Toronto Planetarium Grand Re-opening." Here's hoping someone at Queen's Park gets an idea from this.
In the end, Clara is both an excellent bit of science-inflected storytelling and a nicely crafted romantic drama. It's said that humans are set apart from the rest of Earth's species by scientific curiosity and the need to tell stories as a form of social bonding. This film recognizes and gives voice to both these impulses. It's a superbly human film.

The London venue's Always Fridays party will host five-hour sets from Chris Liebing and Ellen Allien in the coming weeks.
The ongoing plan is to get the label owner to DJ for a full five hours in the club's main arena, while offering them the basement to curate a selection of artists from their roster. Things kicked off last weekend with a night of electro house from Lee Mortimer's Wearhouse Music, but the September 18th bash will appeal to fans of tougher techno sounds. Chris Liebing will take to the decks for an extended set, and the Frankfurt DJ has revealed that he hasn't planned for it at all. "The longer the sets, the smaller the plan - that's the beauty of it. My actual set-up with all my equipment allows me to basically move into any direction that I wish; it could end up being a five-hour straight-up techno set, it could also cover a wider range of electronic music. It all depends on the vibe of the people and my personal state of mind." While all this will be going on, Brian Sanhaji, Perc, Tommy Four Seven, Emerson and Nick AC will be banging out the beats in the basement room, moving from minimal through to full-on techno, with a few electro-tinged touches on the way.
The following month's label party sees BPitch Control arrive in London for one of their tenth anniversary tour dates, with Kiki, Thomas Muller and Chaim looking after the sweaty basement while BPitch boss Ellen Allien stretches out her extended set on Egg's terrace.
Tickets for Chris Liebling's CLR showcase are available to purchase directly from RA Tickets.

Dr. Radz is Making a Good Impression with iTero!
When you visit the dentist for a restorative dentistry procedure or replacement teeth, you'll have impressions taken of your teeth.
Traditionally, impressions have been an uncomfortable procedure for patients. With all that gooey putty in your mouth, it's easy to feel claustrophobic. And if you have a sensitive gag reflex-forget about it!
Our patient's comfort is always a concern and we want appointments at our office to be stress-free. Technology is one way we are able to make dental treatments more pleasant, and thanks to iTero, taking impressions has never been easier. Now you can sit back and relax while we take high-resolution images of your teeth! With iTero, there's no need for trays or putty. Instead, Dr. Radz will simply use a handheld wand to comfortably take a 3D image of your teeth in as little as three to five minutes. You can even watch our progress on a nearby monitor.

Program helps at-risk youth, with a twist
Social CirKISH pays tribute to one of his mentors, John C. Kish, a former owner of the Skyline Casino in Henderson and philanthropist who died in 2007.
Matthew Frazier received a standing ovation after the Social CirKISH Student Showcase performance on Saturday afternoon — and he never even stepped on stage.
Frazier, a 15-year Las Vegas resident, started Social CirKISH three years ago to teach circus arts to at-risk youth.
"I've always been involved in philanthropy," Frazier said. "My main thing was that I wanted to help kids, and it's been my dream to have something like this."
His dream came to fruition Saturday as more than 20 people, ages 12 to 20, performed in front of their friends and family at UNLV's Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall to wrap up the summer program. Students walked across the stage on stilts, jumped through hula hoops and swung from a trapeze.
Star Acosta, 12, a seventh-grader at Charles Silvestri Junior High School, was the youngest of the group.
"I was nervous to be the youngest and at first it was scary being with high school students, but it was an amazing experience," Acosta said.
Acosta said Social CirKISH helped her expand upon her love of gymnastics, which she practices four days a week.
"When I started I could barely hula hoop, and now I can do it on my hand and neck," she said. "I'd love to get a college scholarship for gymnastics."
Cindy Agrelo, 18, graduated from Del Sol High School in June and is looking forward to pursuing criminology at College of Southern Nevada starting this month. She also hopes to continue performing.
"I'd love to continue in the theater and dance program," she said. "I met a lot of people in Social CirKISH and learned how to walk on stilts — I never thought I could."
Frazier is a trustee for the John C. Kish Foundation, a scholarship endowment fund managed by the College of Southern Nevada Foundation.
He dedicates much of his time to philanthropic organizations, including the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Foundation Board, Smith Center for the Performing Arts, College of Southern Nevada, Animal Foundation and Public Education Foundation.
Social CirKISH pays tribute to one of his mentors, John C. Kish, a former owner of the Skyline Casino in Henderson and philanthropist who died in 2007.
Social CirKISH has taught circus acts such as gymnastics, juggling and the art of balloon making to nearly 100 elementary- and high school-aged kids.
"It's about social skills, not performing," Frazier said. "I want the kids to learn real-life values."
Frazier said the organization relies on a team of up to seven coaches who are former or current performers.
Carly Sheridan, who is in charge of coaching and curriculum and production development for Social CirKISH, said watching the kids evolve is especially gratifying.
"I can see how the kids feel accomplished and in turn build their self-esteem," she said. "They're also able to exercise and have fun."
Social CirKISH operates its programs at Del Sol High School, the Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada and C. T. Sewell Elementary School in Henderson.
Frazier hopes to grow the organization throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
"We've been getting a lot of public support," he said. "I want to carry on the legacy of what we do."

Work smarter, not harder with Office 365
Remote desktops enable you to use your desktop from any location.
Make sure you're making the most of Teams with our top tips!
Work smarter, anywhere, with hosted email for business
All the benefits of Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, without the hassle
Unlock the benefits of enterprise-class messaging, regardless of the size of your business. Enjoy business-class email without the operational headaches or cost of managing your own server. Just choose your solution based on your business requirements and away you go.
With Cobweb, Hosted Exchange can offer the flexibility and price benefits of cloud, combined with
the assurance that data will always reside in the UK.
70% of SMBs want to know exactly where their data is located, and 30% want it kept in their country. A Hosted Exchange provider with UK-based datacentres and UK-based support gives a business complete
peace of mind that its data will never leave UK borders, whether it is in motion or at rest.
Hosted Exchange allows users to create bespoke environments, suited to match the needs of the business rather than the vendor. Plus, a wide range of integration with third party platforms and services are available so organisations can choose
what suits them best.
Most small businesses don't have the IT resources required to keep on top of increasingly short technology lifecycles, upgrades and maintenance. An expert, accredited Hosted Exchange provider is much better suited to managing your email infrastructure, freeing up those resources to focus on driving business growth.
Spam makes up most email communications — annoying at best, malicious at worst. Hosted Exchange not only removes this burden from your network, but also guarantees that malicious emails are kept outside of the organisation's firewall.
As an organisation, you are not simply outsourcing the physical servers or the Exchange platform; you are outsourcing all the financial implications that come with them. Installing, deploying, securing, operating, upgrading, maintaining — it all adds up. Plus, a hosted solution that uses a per-user price model can not only have a dramatic effect on an organisation's cash flow, but a positive effect on their bottom line.
Take your office email everywhere: Exchange email accounts can sync calendars, contacts and tasks across desktop, web and mobile devices, improving communication and increasing productivity.
Exchange enables you to manage increasing volumes of communications across multiple devices and allows teams to work together more effectively. Users can also set up rules and prioritise messages so they can get more done, faster.

Owen's Farm Funk II
Last Saturday, May 27th, I attending an event put on by the Greenbelt Land Trust at Owens Farm on the North side of Corvallis. This event brought together beer lovers, plant lovers, and people who love people who love beer and plants. Our tour guide, Jessica, lead us around the beautiful restored oak forests and gave us a brief history of Owen's Farm and the peoples who inhabited the land before the Greenbelt Land Trust procured it. Jessica and guest speaker Jeff Tobin, head brewer/owner at Mazama Brewery, enlightened the group about how different native ingredients might be used in brewing and what has historically been utilized in the area. It was a very informational day and it was fun to hang out with folks who were interested in using native plants in a variety of ways.
My goal during the hike was to collect natural yeast in order to ferment a beer that will contain some of the microorganisms from Owen's Farm. Hopefully in the end the beer will taste good, too!
To collect the wild yeast I boiled up a starter with one quart of water and 1/4 pound Pilsen Light DME (dry malt extract). I put the warm starter into a 1/2 gallon mason jar and once we arrived at the Farm changed out the solid lid for cheesecloth. Then I posed the starter in front of the old farmhouse (first photo below) for a quick photo. The mason jar stayed by my side throughout the hike and I tried my best to collect only the strongest yeast!
Once home I transferred the starter into a sanitized erlenmeyer flask and put it on my stir plate for the weekend. By Monday (the 29th) there were signs of fermentation as you can see (in the third photo) below.
On Tuesday (the 30th) I made a 1 gallon Brew-in-a-Bag batch with 1 1/2# OSU Barley World Full Pint Malt in about 2 gallons of water (fourth photo). The Original Gravity ended up being 1.038 with about 1 1/3 gallons of wort (fifth photo). I pitched the whole starter into the wort (sixth photo) and said a little prayer to the yeast gods that they would look favorably on our little Owen's Farm Experiment. As of Wednesday (the 31st) there is some sign of activity in the beer (seventh photo) and we'll continue to watch it as time goes on.
One of my favorite parts of the hike was at the end when Jeff allowed us to sample some fine Mazama Brews and we also got to taste batch #1 of Owen's Farm Funk brewed by Joel last year. So, keep an eye out for next year's Beers Made by Walking Series and maybe you'll get to try Owen's Farm Funk II!
Written by: Ashley
6/6/17 Update
The beer is fermenting away! It has a great krausen and smells very bready.

How to Organize Free Weights
Whether you have one pair or a dozen, free weights have a way of freely moving about the house. Designating a specific storage area will keep your weights organized and out from underfoot. Make sure everyone in your house knows where the weights belong and that they aren't toys; this will keep injuries at bay and ensure that your weights are always there when you need them.
Step 1
Store weights in the room where you are most likely to use them. Storing weights in a closet or bedroom without enough room to lift them almost guarantees that you will forget about them. Set them somewhere visible to remind you to exercise.
Step 2
Get creative with storage places. If you are tired of housing your weights on the floor and don't have a weight rack, try storing them on the lowest shelf of a bookcase, the underside of a coffee table or in your entertainment center.
Step 3
Keep identical weights together. If you use just one weight from the pair at a time, leave a space where it was stored before you picked it up, so you know where it goes.
Step 4
Order the dumbbells by increasing weight amounts. Place them number side up, so you can easily grab the weight you want. This also helps workout buddies find what they are looking for, as it mimics a gym.
Step 5
Separate disc weights from the bars when storing them. This will save space, as the discs can be set flat and the bar can stand up in the corner of a closet.
Step 6
Never store free weights on a high shelf where kids or animals can bump into them. A study published in the "American Journal of Sports Medicine" found that 90 percent of weight-training injuries are from free weights. If weights fall on a small foot, they can cause serious injury. Keep the weights as close to the floor as possible and away from edges of shelves, and don't stack dumbbells on top of each other. Circular disc weights may be stacked safely, however.

Time flies when you're having fun, and this decade is roaring by fast! Can you believe that we're already halfway through the 2010's? Well, we are. And it seems like only yesterday that Kesha's "Tic Toc" was the #1 song on Slacker as we moved out of the "Aughts" (which is what proper English-speakers call the first decade of a century).
So much has changed–Kesha, for example, no longer uses a dollar sign to spell her name—and so much great music happened. With this in mind, we have dug into our EQ data to come up with a new station: The 100 Top Songs of the Decade (So Far). We've collected your skips, bans and shares to create a countdown the songs that Slacker listeners love the most. It's a great list, spanning multiple genres…but what's the #1 song? We're not telling. But here some interesting things that we noticed:
- Although Taylor Swift is the biggest deal in the world, two artists have more songs on the countdown. One is a guy and one is a gal…who could they be?
- Beyoncé only placed one song on the entire countdown, while another pop starlet scored five!
- Female artists out-number the guys, 41 to 35 (the remaining 24 songs are from bands).
- The entire top 10 consists of songs from solo artists, 5 male and 5 female.
- There are more songs from 2014 than any other year.
- The highest ranking Hip Hop song (#11) was released a mere month ago.
- If you thought that Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean or Florida Georgia Line would have the highest ranking country song, you would be wrong.
- 15 songs have one-word titles, two have acronyms for titles and two songs have the "F" word in the title.
Sound fascinating? We think so…check out The 100 Top Songs of the Decade (So Far) and let us know what you think.

Quicke's have been nurturing the family farm at Newton St Cyres for almost five centuries - and in these ancient fields their carefully bred cows turn lush Devonshire grass into the perfect milk for cheese making. Crafting magnificent flavours from the land is what they do, season after season their artisanal cheesemakers use all their senses to discern the subtle shifts that mark out a good cheese from an exceptional one, creating a flavour only traditional clothbound cheddar can deliver.
Quicke's Oak Smoked Cheddar is a well-flavoured mature cheddar, 12-15 months in age, specially selected to be naturally cold-smoked for 3-4 hours using oak chips from the farm's woodland. The truckles are cut into 1.5Kg pieces prior to smoking as this ensures the flavour will infuse throughout the cheese. No artificial flavourings are added. The smoking process adds a new level of flavour to this pasteurized cheddar and gives an attractive deep orange colour to the cheese. It can be used for cheese boards and is perfect for grilling or grating.

Numbers of US staff at both their Cuban and Chinese embassies have been reported to have suffered from similar mysterious illnesses.
MSN: U.S. evacuates China consulate staffers as illness mystery deepens
The United States has evacuated some Americans from its consulate in the Chinese city of Guangzhou after an employee was confirmed to be suffering symptoms consistent with the mysterious illness that led to the removal of more than half of the U.S. Embassy staff in Cuba, the State Department said Wednesday.
Heather Nauert, the State Department's spokeswoman, said "several" consulate employees had returned to the United States from China for further evaluation after they were screened as part of a task force Secretary of State Mike Pompeo created last month. The force is investigating reports of hearing, vision, balance and memory damage.
The State Department said in a health alert last month that the employee in Guangzhou reported "subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure" that had no immediate explanation. Pompeo said then that the employee's symptoms were eerily similar to those reported by the Cuban embassy staff.
Doctors said in February that the symptoms among some 24 Havana embassy staffers were similar to those caused by concussions — headaches, balance problems, sleep disturbances and visual and hearing difficulties.
U.S. experts have said they know of no technology that would explain the symptoms.
But President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials have accused Cuba of having targeted U.S. personnel with some kind of "acoustic sonic weapon" for unknown reasons, an allegation the Cuban government has forcefully denied.
The State Department responded by pulling 60 percent of its workers out of the Havana embassy in early October and expelled two-thirds of Cuba's staff in Washington.
Have they considered it could be US technology used to screen and block eavesdropping that could be having an adverse effect on their embassy employees?

This piece looks at the historical and cultural influences of vampires in today's society. Students are very much aware of vampires from books and television. While vampires were often thought to provoke fear, they have been romanticized in popular culture. Society's portrayal of current vampires is much different than the real fear that surrounded vampires in the 18th and 19th centuries. Unexplained deaths were said to be caused by vampires, and a vampire hysteria overwhelmed society. Vampires were not just characters in fantasy novels. Thus, this piece helps to explain the origin of vampire mythology and how the fear of vampires has now evolved into a fantasised admiration.

Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends?
I love the silence of the night, I love to be in silence, I love to be in calm space, I enjoy living my life that way, it is my nature, should I change it to please others? should I change to be accepted by others?
I am a peaceful lost soul in this world. :)
I work in a calm tiny space and every once in a while with Jazz music as a background noise to keep me compagny.
We have been facing a very bad heatwave in the country for the past week, this period of heat is another painful situation for my poor body. The weather is cooler today, hallelujah, we are alive...!
Just before the heatwave, I made these 3 pair of earrings and custom necklaces to make in silver and black stone which I made during the heatwave.
I couldn't picture the earring because we were living in dark home (we closed all the shutters to keep away from any source of heat) and since all my photo are taken is natural day light it was hard to take photos.
Finally, yesterday my hubby braved the heat to take a pictures of my jewelry.
I make silver jewelry on a very rare occasion because silver is not my "cup of tea" LoL. I don't like the way they oxydize when you leave them out.
Well, I did what my customers want and so far they are pleased with the result, so I am pleased as well.
My customer wanted this pair in silver.
Mind of a Wanderer
I used Lava rock, Handmade Vintage tribal bone beads aka Bogolan and silver charms
Born of fire, Lava Rock have the elemental powers of fire and earth, lava rocks are rich in minerals from deep in the earth's core.

Under the pine trees,
Sunlight and shadow,
Play together in the gentle breeze.
In the gentle breeze,
Two butterflies chase each other,
And ten thousand leaves dance.
Ten thousand leaves dance,
And the children play,
As the roots remain planted in the earth.
A wind chime sounds.
And the whole world stops,
And listens.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys on Monday began selecting a jury in the trial of Brittany Norwood, a 29-year-old charged with killing her co-worker in an upscale Bethesda yoga shop.
Because of extensive media coverage, a pool of about 300 potential jurors are expected to be questioned about their knowledge of the case. A panel of 12 jurors, plus alternates, will be selected for a trial that is expected to last about eight days.
On Monday morning, attorneys began questioning potential jurors who gathered in the largest courtroom in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
The next morning, Murray's body was found face down in the store, with a large pool of blood next to her head and neck, according to court papers. Prosecutors have said she was stabbed, beaten with a weapon and left with a ligature around her neck. Her skull was crushed, and her spinal cord severed.
Norwood was discovered inside a bathroom, tied up, with blood on her face. She was "periodically moaning and appeared to be lapsing in and out of consciousness," prosecutors wrote in court papers.
Norwood told detectives that after closing time, two masked men slipped in and attacked and sexually assaulted her and Murray.
Montgomery County Police Detective Deana Mackie previously testified in court that she interviewed Norwood on March 12. Norwood told her she heard one of the men attack Murray in the back of the store, but said the sounds grew faint, Mackie testified. Norwood also said that the other masked man attacked and raped her in a different part of the store, at one point using a clothes hanger during the sexual assault and calling her a "dirty whore."
For days, detectives considered Norwood a victim.
But as police sifted through forensic evidence, prosecutors have said, Norwood's story began to fall apart. They said the evidence shows she attacked Murray then staged her own injuries.
Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy has said in court that he planned to seek testimony from experts in six fields: blood-spatter, shoe-print, fingerprint, DNA, rape and forensic medical examination.
Norwood's defense team at one point had indicated in court that they were exploring an insanity defense, known in Maryland as NCR, or Not Criminally Responsible. But ultimately they did not file such a plea.

Corporate Restructuring is resource planning and its optimisation. Organisations feel the need to leverage its business processes; viz. Purchasing, Manufacturing, Distribution, Finance, Marketing, Transport, Exports, IT, HR and Administration; so that it is able to succeed not only today but also in the future. To achieve this effectively it is essential to identify the business processes with corporate vision, the expectations from each employee and means to track and reward high performance with in the organisation.
In order to overcome the impediments to exponential growth it is essential to shift from bureaucratic stance to a more responsive stance having sound reflexes, vis-à-vis business process related strategies. The exercise of Corporate Restructuring anticipates user resistance to change and attends to the related challenges towards transformation.
There is need to shift focus from transactions to processes and from processes to strategies - an upward mobility of focus. There is need to establish benchmarks, derived from best practices around the globe. CSBC shall define a total information collecting and collating structure, so that experience can be blended with the knowledge database; and this data can be collated, refined and turned into a storehouse of corporate wisdom for the management to access.
We evaluate the existing process of business and subsequently suggest the practices and policies to be implemented by the organisation, in consonance with their provisions and constraints. The field level knowledge and experience will get transformed into corporate values and this transformation, in long run shall cut costs and save debacles.

Bedtime starts with a running jump to my bed. It is very important that not even one toe touches the blue carpet in my bedroom.
All of the lights are on. I look around and look again before I give the OK.
Once under the covers, in the dark, I lay as straight as possible in the exact center and try not to breathe too loud. Nothing that lives under there has arms long enough to reach the exact center. That's where I'm safest.
The small black and white television across the room from me is square-shaped and has an antennae poking out from the top – not from the center but from the side. It leans at an angle. This is how it gets the best reception.
When it's time for lights out, it is silhouetted against my sheer curtains and the streetlight outside and then it becomes what I believe is The Boogey Man.
Yes, I am certain.
He will kill me if he sees me.
I must settle in before he arrives and then stay perfectly, completely still so that he thinks he's alone in here.
My bedroom door is always open enough for me to see into the hallway. I have to turn my head slowly to peak through the opening. I strain my eyes to see and remember to stay quiet.
With all of the lights off and the orange glow from outside shining in, I can make out the figures on the brown and rust-colored calico carpet in the hallway.
They are severed heads.
They are not set out in any pattern and there are too many to count. Some of them have beards. Some of them are looking at me.
All of them are dead.
And if I'm not careful, I am next.

Academic German Year
Welcome to the Academic Year at the University of Passau
The new Academic German Year programme is yet another building block of the university's strong international and multi-cultural orientation. It is directed at foreign students with little or no knowledge of the German language who plan to embark on a degree course at the University of Passau or another German university.
A joint project by the Language Centre and the International Office of the University of Passau, the Academic German Year aims to provide students with an affordable opportunity to learn the German language in as little as one year. Those completing the course will be given ample preparation to pass the official German language proficiency test (DSH), a prerequisite for foreign students wishing to enrol at a German tertiary education institution.
The course participants will take intensive German classes five days a week and will be taught by experienced lecturers. Extracurricular activities will be guided by tutors who are also available to help the course participants with any questions or problems that might arise.
