ERE – People are justifiably concerned about their identity being stolen by perpetrators of fraud. Victims of identity theft suffer disruption of lifestyle, severe emotional stress and financial losses.
In this age of corporate accountability, employees and private individuals are entrusting companies with holding their personal information and keeping it confidential and secure — and therefore not susceptible to being compromised for use in identity-theft-related fraud.
To combat identity theft, and to protect the privacy of individuals, the governments of Canada and the United States are passing laws compelling corporations to protect personal information under their custodial responsibility.
Legal counsel should play an important role in educating their clients how privacy regulations apply to them, and then helping them to write the appropriate policies so that their clients will comply with the privacy legislation.
Counsel may need to take further initiatives to educate their clients who may not understand that they are not already compliant.
However, a policy alone is not enough to ensure compliance to regulations. A policy that is not enforced uniformly is in reality not a policy at all.
It is therefore incumbent upon the executives of a client organization to monitor how well their employees are complying with the policy, and to implement modifications to procedures, in order to alleviate instances of non-compliance.
The space between counsel writing a privacy policy and counsel hearing from their clients when there is a problem with non-compliance is where a compliance auditing firm can be of valuable assistance.
A compliance auditing firm should identify non-compliance and make recommendations to mitigate procedural problems before they fester into legal liability problems.
Some executives have preconceived notions that they do not need to spend any money on implementing a privacy policy because their organizations must already be compliant.
Counsel can perform a valuable service to those executives, by recommending a service that would provide proof to their executive clients that their organizations are indeed non-compliant with privacy legislation, and that the executives need to engage the services of counsel to create the appropriate policy. Providing this "evidence of non-compliance before the fact" is another situation in which a compliance auditor may be of service.
The key to successful compliance is creating an internal compliance process. This process should include the client's executive management team, a designated privacy officer, an outside privacy/security audit firm and the education, understanding and full co-operation of all employees. The key elements of the process are:
1. Clear communication and articulation by senior management of policy expectations to employees.
2. Ongoing regular third party auditing to ensure policy compliance.
3. Identifying and dealing with non-compliant behaviour in a consistent manner.
4. Instituting a regular communications mechanism to executives about the status of the policy's implementation and enforcement.
In addition, management needs to:
1. Appoint a privacy officer.
2. Publish the appropriate paraphrased policy sections, in layman's language, to employee groups and to third parties such as information contributors.
3. Create a policy awareness program.
4. Inform all concerned that the senior executive team will audit and enforce compliance.
The auditor provides an impartial, third-party view of both employee compliance with the policy and the security of the underlying personal information.
The auditor will report any infractions of the policy and any security vulnerabilities to the privacy officer and to the executive committee. The privacy officer then must work with human resources to deal with behavioural infractions. The privacy officer may need to consult legal counsel about modifying the corporate privacy policy and modifying employee contracts with respect to the privacy policy, court decisions and regulatory changes that affect the corporate privacy policy.
The new privacy laws will work only if corporations engage their counsel to create effective privacy policies, tuned to the specifications of each organization. A policy is only effective if it is uniformly enforced by the executives who are responsible for implementing the policy.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Dooley Planetarium on the campus of Francis Marion University will present a program titled "The People," Sunday (March 23) at 3 p.m.
Admission is free. The planetarium is located on the second floor of the Cauthen Educational Media Center.
The program will discuss how Native Americans migrated into North America from Asia approximately 25,000 years ago when the Ice Age caused the formation of a land bridge across the Bering Strait.
Their languages and customs differed widely, but often they called themselves "The People." They shared a spiritual closeness to all of nature's creatures, to the land, and to the sky. The program will feature some of the stories they taught each new generation about the wonders of the world and man's relation to it, including their interpretation of some of the constellations.
The audio/visual materials used in this show were created by the Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Although "The People" has been shown previously in the Dooley Planetarium, this year's production includes more material than was used previously.
For more information about the Dooley Planetarium, visit its website at http://astro.fmarion.edu
For additional information about planetarium programs or observatory viewing sessions, call director John Mattox at 843-661-1441.

Hudgens Urges Fireworks Safety for New Year's
Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens is urging residents to watch out for the dangers of fireworks during the New Year's holiday.
According to Hudgens, the sale and individual use of any type of firework, except certain kinds of sparklers, is illegal in Georgia. The penalties are a maximum fine of up to $1,000 and/or a sentence of up to one year in jail.
Professional fireworks displays are permitted provided they are licensed through the local judge of probate court.
The Commissioner did say that certain sparklers are legal in Georgia. State law says that the definition of prohibited fireworks shall not include wire or wood sparklers of 100 grams or less of mixture per item; other sparkling items which are non-explosive and non-aerial and contain 75 grams or less of chemical compound per tube or a total of 200 grams or less for multiple tubes; snake and glow worms; trick noise makers which include paper streamers, party poppers, string poppers, snappers, and drop pops each consisting of 0.25 grains or less of explosive mixture.
While certain sparklers are legal, Hudgens urged people to use them carefully and only with adult supervision.
Hudgens said that according to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2010, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 8,600 people for fireworks related injuries, adding that the risk of fireworks injury was highest for children ages 5 through 14.
Commissioner Hudgens said to remind children that if they find unexploded fireworks, do not touch them, and immediately contact the local fire department.
Hudgens said that it is traditional to celebrate the coming of the New Year with fireworks and he encourages the state's citizens to enjoy them safely by watching a professional display as they mark the arrival of 2013.

Re: How to simplify ArcCos[x/Sqrt[x^2+y^2]] to Pi/2-ArcTan[x/Abs[y]]?
I don't think there is a way to "simplify" one of these expressions
into the other, but one can use Mathematica as an aid in proving that
they are equal (for real x and y). One way to do this is:
expres = {ArcCos[x/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]], Pi/2 - ArcTan[x/Abs[y]]};
Subtract @@ Assuming[Element[x | y, Reals], Simplify[Sin /@ expres]]
Subtract @@ Assuming[Element[x | y, Reals], Simplify[Cos /@ expres]]
So for real x and y, the two expressions have equal sines and cosines.
That means that they must differ by an integer multiple of 2Pi.
However, since the difference is a continuous function of x and y, it
has to be constant. Now, putting (for example) x=0, y=1, we see that
the constant must be zero, hence they are equal.

Manuel Almunia believes that Arsenal showed their true colours in the Champions League victory over Porto.
The Spanish goalkeeper kept a clean sheet as the Portuguese champions were brushed aside at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor both netted twice as Arsène Wenger's side bounced back from their surprise Premier League defeat against Hull at the weekend.
Almunia was at the sharp end of that disappointment, conceding twice as Arsenal let a second-half lead slip on home soil. But the 31-year-old thinks that Saturday's shock has brought Wenger's players together and the win against Porto was evidence of that.
"It was crucial to have a clean sheet, have a victory like this and play fantastically like we did," said Almunia. "I think Arsène was furious before the Porto game and we said to ourselves that we had to play the Porto game as Arsenal know they can. We had to show we were a very great team.
"Maybe some players were tired [on Saturday] but Hull did very well. They are a strong team and we were surprised by them and I think Hull deserved the three points because our attitude wasn't very good during the game.
"But now we have togetherness, we are strong now, this is an important victory and it will give us more confidence. I hope at Sunderland we can show the strengths we have inside once again."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

CAMPBELLTON, N.B.—A funeral service will be held today in Campbellton, N.B., for two young boys who were killed by a python while they slept in an apartment above an exotic pet store.
Four-year-old Noah Barthe and his six-year-old brother Connor were found dead Monday morning after a 45-kilogram African rock python escaped its enclosure in the apartment.
Police say the snake slithered through a ventilation system located above the tank and fell through the ceiling into the living room where the boys slept.
Preliminary results of autopsies show the boys were asphyxiated by the snake.
Campbellton deputy mayor Ian Comeau says the boys will be buried together in the same casket.
Comeau says the funeral at St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church will be a celebration of the lives of Noah and Connor.
"It will be a sombre celebration of the life of two young kids," he said.
Provincial officials say the African rock python was not permitted in the province.
On Friday, 23 reptiles that were banned without a permit in New Brunswick were seized from the store, while four, large American alligators were euthanized.
The apartment and store are owned by Jean-Claude Savoie, a family friend of the boys who took them shopping and to a farm before hosting a sleepover Sunday along with his son.
Savoie has not returned repeated messages for comment.
During a stop in New Brunswick Friday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressed his condolences to the family of the boys and said the federal government would review what happened to determine whether it should play a role in the regulation of exotic pet shops.

Canon has just announced two additions to their expansive EF lens lineup: the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS and the EF 35mm f/2 IS. These lenses fit into the lineup where previous lenses exist, but improve upon these lenses with the addition of image stabilization and more refined optical technology to produce overall sharper, clearer imagery. Also being released is a second EOS M kit featuring the EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. This kit offers an alternative for those looking for a zoom lens to use with the EOS M other than the EF-M 22mm f/2.0 STM lens kit that was previously announced.
The EF 24-70mm f/4L IS is a standard length zoom lens covering wide to portrait focal lengths and offering a moderately large maximum aperture to help control depth of field and improve shooting in lower light situations. While the f/4.0 maximum aperture is not the fastest among 24-70mm zoom lenses offered by Canon, it does offer a lighter weight alternative than the f/2.8 version. This reduction in weight is ideal for photographers working in outdoor conditions who are photographing moving subjects or carrying other gear and looking to save on overall weight and space. The f/4.0 maximum aperture is also constant throughout the entire zoom range, which is ideal for HDSLR shooting, due to the fact that you can maintain the widest aperture while zooming during video recording. Also contributing to improved video performance is the inner focusing mechanism, that maintains a consistent lens length when focusing or zooming, and an Ultrasonic Motor (USM) that provides fast and quiet autofocusing.
Contributing to the low-light performance, fast-paced situations and close subject shooting, built-in image stabilization provides up to four stops equivalent of camera shake reduction, and the Hybrid IS stabilization benefits macro shooting by countering both angular and shift types of camera shake. In regard to macro shooting, this lens has a maximum magnification of 0.7x for near life-size reproduction of subject matter, and macro capabilities are easily accessible through a one-touch system when zoomed to the long end of the focal-length range. When working outside of the macro mode, close focusing is still possible with a minimum focus distance of 15" throughout the entire zoom range.
This lens is also the newest member of Canon's L-series of lenses, which are known for their optical and overall build quality. Two aspheric and two ultra-low dispersion elements produce high image quality with improved sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range, while also helping to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion. The front and rear elements feature a fluorine coating that reduces soiling and fingerprints on the surface of the lens and also aids in cleaning your lens when you're abroad in the elements. The lens housing itself is resistant to dust and water, making this lens an ideal companion for use in inclement weather.

The second lens being introduced by Canon, the EF 35mm f/2 IS, is a wide angle prime lens featuring a fast maximum aperture and built-in image stabilization. The optical image stabilization provides compensation for about four stops, making this lens truly ideal for working in low light. The image stabilization system also works to determine normal shooting and panning techniques, and utilize the best stabilization mode, depending on the manner in which you are shooting. This lens also features one glass-molded aspherical lens to provide high image sharpness and even peripheral illumination, which is further enhanced by optimized lens coatings to minimize flare and ghosting.
The EF 35mm f/2 IS truly excels in HD video applications, due to a rear focusing system and ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, quiet, and accurate focusing. Also contributing to video usage are full-time manual focus (FTM) capabilities when working in autofocus mode: by turning the focusing ring, the lens will automatically switch over to manual mode to allow for personalized, fine-tuning of focus. Another mechanical consideration that benefits video recording is a micro-stepping drive for switching aperture settings. Like the focus system, this mechanism provides near-silent performance that is necessary for changing settings while recording.

The EOS M is Canon's first mirrorless camera, and features an 18-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor. The combination of these technologies provides high image quality, expanded sensitivity to ISO 25600, and full HD movie recording. This newly formed kit includes the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, a standard length zoom lens that is equivalent to 28.8-88mm in 35mm format. The lens features three aspheric elements to help reduce flare and ghosting, while providing overall sharp and clear imagery. The optical image stabilizer provides a four-stop equivalent reduction in camera shake that benefits low-light photography as well as when working at the long end of the zoom range. This lens also incorporates the new STM stepping motor, which works in concert with the Movie Servo AF system of the EOS M to provide extremely quiet, smooth focusing when recording HD video.

I just want to know about Canon EOS M Mirrorless Digital Camera with EF-M 18-55mm Zoom, Can you please let me know about its Zoom capacity (?X).
Many Thanks...
hi! B&H
I wish to inquire regarding Canon EOS M 11-22 mm lens. do you have it on stock & what is your price?
What other lens is effective with my EOS M camera?
Thank You
Ernie in Bangkok
Unfortunately, B&H does not carry the EF-M 11-22mm lens. This lens is not being distributed in the US by Canon. You can find the lenses we carry for the EOS M on the following link. http://bhpho.to/1kKKsvJ
I think everyone is missing the biggest mistake so far. Why would anyone need a 24-70 f/4 IS if Canon already has a 24-105 f/4 IS? The customer really needs the original 24-70 f/2.8 with the IS, not the f/4. Not sure who would want to purposely have a 24-70 when you could have even more reach with the 105. Just my 2 cents Canon.
The 35 f/2 may appeal to some people, but serious professionals will just buy the 35 f/1.4L if they need the 35mm field of view. IS is not a make or break for professional use.
Why in the heck do we need a 35mm f/2 lens with IS? What kind of photographer that would even think of buying that lens (like myself) would need IS in it, let alone triple the price of the old lens? What a waste, I swear all Canon wants to do is milk the consumer for all their worth

Caught: "Peeping Tom" Neighbor
One Gainesville mom is not revealing her identity, for her daughters sake.
"It makes me feel very angry, very angry to know that my daughter was compromised like that," said one Gainesville mom.
According to Alachua County Sheriff's Deputies, a peeping Tom, Kevis Johnson, 20, of Gainesville has been locked up on burglary and voyeurism charges, after watching a 15-year-old girl sleep early Sunday morning.
According to detectives, her mom discovered Johnson when the sun came up.
"I opened the blinds...and I froze for only a second," she said.
Johnson ran, and the mom called 911. A K9 unit followed Johnson's scent, but it wasn't a very long trail. The dogs led deputies just a few doors down from the victim's condo at Timber Way in north west Gainesville, to Johnson's front door.
"He'd come in and out, but I'd never really seen him that much," she said.
Johnson is new to the neighborhood, living there for about two months.
"It's very unlikely that this is the only incident," said Detective Glenn Jones.
Detectives say Johnson left behind enough DNA evidence to lock him up.
"At this point in time we have positive identification from the palm print and finger print, also indication it appears to be an ear print on the glass window," he said.
Detectives suspect Johnson was looking in for hours.
"She did come in and undress out of her clothes, and we got in after dark- so I'm not sure if he had been there before she actually heard him," said the mom.
The teen heard a noise around 2:30 in the morning-- but her mom didn't think anything of it.
"I guess I was a little complacent, like this is a good neighborhood, and nothing like this would ever happen, but I just want to let everybody know it doesn't matter where you're at--- it can happen anywhere," she said.
According to deputies, Johnson was arrested in April in Alachua county, on a marijuana charge, but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. He's also had some traffic offenses.
Being that this is his first voyeurism, or "peeping tom" arrest, he'll be charged with a misdemeanor, but he's also being charged with a felony for breaking into the victim's back gate.

"Through their defiant journeys, the Freedom Riders sent a resounding message to the rest of our Nation that desegregation was a moral imperative," President Obama said yesterday in his proclamation honoring the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Ride.
Fifty years ago today, activists from different races stepped foot on buses headed to the segregated south with one goal in mind: freedom. The two buses leaving Washington D.C. on May 4, 1961, carried 13 passengers—seven black and six white—determined to make it to New Orleans. They traveled through Richmond, Virginia, Greensboro, North Carolina, and Rock Hill, South Carolina. It was there, in Rock Hill, where Georgia Rep. John Lewis was attacked for attempting to enter a white-only bus terminal waiting room. Additionally, 10 days into the trip, the Freedom Riders' Greyhound bus was bombed in Anniston, Alabama, by the Ku Klux Klan. Furthermore, many were beaten in Birmingham, Alabama, only blocks from the Sheriff's home.
The activists were not deterred by the violence. Over the next year, more that 436 people on 60 freedom buses traveled to the south to agitate for change. In November 1961, an Interstate Commerce Commission ruling that segregation on interstate buses and facilities was illegal, took effect
This month, PBS will debut a documentary on the movement, as students retrace the journey of the Freedom Riders.

gate valve or ball valve on sun sun?
could use a little help. i want to use a valve preferably the gate variety. i want to use it on a sun sun 302 canister. i've had luck finding ball valves for 5/8" tubing but no gate valves in that size. my plan is to run lily/ poppy pipes to a 5.5 gallon. how much can you turn down the outflow without damaging the canister? i eventually want this to run 3x 5.5 gallons. is this feasible? i will have it on the single 5.5 for a bit. it will house 1 female crowntail betta. thanks
sorry experiencing computer lag.
don't do it. i ruined a canister filter with a ball valve.
the problem is that the canister will produce the same amount of pressure, it will wear down the seals and eventually it will either do as mine did an lose it syphon, or spray water, depending on where the weak point is.
i have had good luck with these
Two Little Fishies Ball Valve w/ Hose Barbs for 5/8 Inch - (15.88 mm) I.D. Tubing - (1 Per Pack): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
how far can i restrict the outflow? 50%? more? less? don't want to ruin the filter.
there is also the eheim 2211 on sale for around $70 delivered.would still have to dial it down. and get clear tubing for it. are the input/output the same size on this filter?would i need 2 different mm size lily pipes? i really hate this.one day it will all be worth it.
the motor does not slow, it runs at a constant rate of speed, and it is the pressure caused by that motor that i believe created the air leak, that prevented the syphon.
Gate valve. Ball valves are a bit old-school per say. Gate valves give a fine degree of control adjustment.
Either ball or gate will work fine. Yes gate can allow more control, ball's are typically cheaper. It's a personal preference thing really.
Never heard anyone claiming that valving the output ruined their seals before. That is very interesting. I could potentially see too much backpressure doing that long term, but it's really not that different as Ach1Ll3sH33L mentioned from adding inline components or having additional head height on your return run. Mechanical work is mechanical work.
Like most else have stated, either will work fine. I work at a fish store and the entire place is plumbed with ball valves - just like all of the other local fish stores as well as the three fish farms around here (aside from the big big pipes and weirs). Decreasing flow via either is just the same as adding head, extra components, or just having a longer pipe/tube.
having trouble finding a gate valve to fit it. maybe i should just spend a little more and get an eheim 2211. that's bringing me up to $70-$90 for a filter then. then i want clear tubes. i will need a 12/16 to 9/12 reducer then to run 9mm lily pipes correct? my tank is 10wX10lX12h so only the 9mm or 10mm will work. the others are just too big.i really do appreciate the help. it's good to have fellow members to relieve my horrible stress headache over this.
What about this maybe
i don't think they make gate valves small enough for my application. the search continues.....
I noticed it had been a while. Have you been able to find a valve, I'm in the same boat
When your filter is bigger than your tank, it might mean that you need a smaller filter. Go with the 2211.

Passion and Pain
A sweet novel about Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman, two people who were not particularly sweet.
Dashiell Hammett remembered his first meeting with Lillian Hellman taking place at the Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles in 1930. She wore a mustard-colored suit and a cloche hat with feathers, looking utterly out of place amid the flashy movie stars. Hellman, on the other hand, thought that their first meeting took place at the Coconut Grove and that she wore a flowered gown and evening gloves for the occasion.
Coconut Grove or Brown Derby, one thing that's certain is that the two met at a Hollywood party and what...

The Koenig family is thanking fans for their kind words throughout the ordeal that resulted last night in finding son Andrew, dead in a Vancouver park.
"It means a lot to them and they are very appreciative of the support they are receiving," a statement said. "Each of these e-mails will be printed and bound in a remembrance book."
After scouring Vancouver for more than a week, friends who had organized a search discovered missing actor Andrew Koenig in an urban park. Said distraught Walter Koenig in a press conference, "Our son took his own life. He was obviously in a lot of pain."
Police Constable Jana McGuinness said the body was found in a densely wooded area just off one of the park's most popular trails for joggers and bicyclists. She declined to identify the specific cause of death, but she said no weapons were involved.

Don't be put off by the laundry list of ingredients. Sure it's a lot of ingredients, but it's not tricky and doesn't require split second timing. In fact, this is a leisurely soup to make on a cold afternoon while listening to old records.
If there is a trick to this, it's thinning out the roux (flour and butter paste). Here's the drill: Anytime you want to add liquid (water, wine, beer, whatever) to roux you want to go slow. You want to stir in a bit of water until the paste is thick and smooth. Each time you add a splash of water, it'll end up thinner, but it should always be smooth before adding more liquid. If you simply add all the liquid at once you'll get a zillion little flour/butter lumps and they won't dissolve for anything.
You need...
2 hours
7 or 8-quart soup pot with a lid
Large skillet
2 big mixing bowls
3/4 cup oil
1 cup flour
4 fat cloves garlic, minced
3 or 4 ribs celery, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
1 big green pepper, chopped
1 chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1/2 pound smoked Polish sausage
1/2 pound smoked ham (this is about 1 slice that is 1/2-inch thick)
1 teaspoon each: dried basil dried thyme leaf
1/2 teaspoon each: cayenne pepper garlic powder onion powder
6 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
1 pound okra, sliced in 1/2-inch wheels
Gumbo file powder to taste—optional
1 bunch scallions, sliced (most of the green part too)
1. First, get the roux going—stir the oil and flour together in your big soup pot. Let it cook slowly until it turns milk-chocolate brown, 30 minutes or so. Stir from time to time. Watch that it doesn't burn.
2. Meanwhile, mince the garlic and chop the vegetables. Put it all in a big bowl off to the side. Then dice all the meats into 1/2-inch pieces and put it all in another big bowl. Then mix the spices and toss them with the meat. (Don't worry, the spices won't really cover the meat.)
3. When the roux finally turns chocolatey brown, dump the vegetables in the pot and stir. It'll make a big gummy mess; that's good. Turn the heat to medium, clap on a lid and let the vegetables steam until they are soft, about 15 minutes.
4. While the vegetables are sweating it out, sauté the meats in a dry skillet. You may need to do this in a couple batches. You're not trying to cook the meats through. You just need to brown the meats slightly and toast the spices. After 5 or 10 minutes a light crust will usually develop on the bottom of the pan. At this point, put the meats back in the bowl and pour a cup or two of chicken broth in the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan.
5. Gradually stir the skillet broth into the vegetables in the pot. Add the rest of the broth and water slowly, stirring all the while to keep the paste from getting lumpy. Throw in the meats, bring the soup to a simmer, cover, and forget about it for about 45 minutes.
6. Now you're about 20 minutes away from eating. Put on a pot of rice. (For 4 people, use 1 cup of white rice and 1-3/4 cups water.) Stir the okra in with the gumbo and season with salt. If you have gumbo file, treat it like salt and stir it in to taste.
7. When the rice is done, stir the diced scallions into the gumbo. Serve by putting a little rice in each bowl and ladling gumbo over the top.

4 Of Cherry Martinez's Favorite Foods!
I had the honor to having a conversation with Cherry Martinez about food. Cherry told me about four of her FAVORITE foods and you can explore the list below.
Keep reading to see if you like some of the foods Cherry enjoys as well.
1. Fettuccini
"This is my favorite style of pasta especially when it's cooked with shrimp & alfredo sauce. The alfredo sauce must be cooked the right or else it won't be right. I like the sauce to be creamy but only when it lightly coats the pasta. I just don't like when the fettuccini is swimming around in the alfredo sauce. I can't deal with all that cream anyway."
2. Cuban Food
"Out of all the spanish foods out there, Cuban's the best because of the seasoning. It's all about the seasoning. It's hard to say what Cuban dish is my fave because I'm in love with them all. They're top notch."
3. Jamaican
"I love Jamaican food too! Curry Chicken and ox-tail is something that I cannot get enough of from Jamaican cuisine. I can't cook that but I do know how to make rice and peas Jamaican style with coconut milk. The coconut milk gives it a richer taste. Yum."
4. Japanese
"I'm going to cheat with this one and name a restaurant. I can't get enough of Benihana. They're the original hibachi. I enjoy going there because you can order a combo of anything on the menu. You can mix any seafood with any kind of meat & that's all right with me."
You can tell that this conversation took place right before lunch. Ha!
What's your favorite food from Cherry's list?

JCU Entrepreneurship Immersion Week Team takes 1st Place at Akron
The JCU Entrepreneurship Immersion Week (EIW) team won the 2014 Entrepreneurship Education Consortium Immersion Week, which took place August 3-8, 2014, on the campus of the University of Akron.
The 2014 John Carroll EIW team members were Carolyn Kriebel '15, Matt Sokol '15, Angelica Bucci '15, and Rachel Distler '15.
Beginning Sunday, the students had to develop an idea and, working as a team, come up with enough substance to present it to a panel of judges on Friday morning. During the week, the principle instructors from the entrepreneurship programs of the Entrepreneurship Education Consortium (EEC), an organization of nine Northeast Ohio colleges and universities with entrepreneurship centers, taught a series of topics on entrepreneurship, including Market Feasibility Analysis, Funding Your Venture, Leadership and Building Your Team, and Innovation and Brainstorming.
The John Carroll team's idea developed a new and creative woman's feminine hygene product that seems to have found a new niche in a multi-Billion dollar national market. Since this is a "big idea" the team is taking it to the Entrepreneur Association's Student Entrepreneur Liaison Committee to determine their next steps.
Other colleges and universities participating in Entrepreneurship Immersion Week included: Ashland University, Baldwin Wallace University, Kent State University, Lake Erie College, Case Western Reserve University, John Carroll, the University of Mount Union, Cleveland State University, the University of Akron, Hiram College, and Lorain Community College.
Congratulations to the team for their great work and for bringing home the gold!


text: I almost feel guilty starting another thread on this subject, but I am feeling a little bit alone in this so I figured it might help to talk about it here since there are so many of you who have gone, and are still currently going through it. My addiction started on legally prescribed pain pills, and after 3 years of manipulating my doctor, I was up to 4 60mg oxycontiin, and 6 30mg roxicodone per day. I was unable to function for more than 2 hours without taking a pill, and I knew that I couldn't stop taking them because of wd's. I went into an inpatient treatment facility, and came out feeling fine, and on suboxone. After I got out, I wanted to get off them as soon as possible, because I genuinely don't want to be on anything any more. My Dr. said I will be on this dose for a minimum of 6 months before he will consider tapering me off. So I started reading up on tapering, realized that my dosage was huge, and began to take matters into my own hands. I have been at 12mg a day for 2 months. I started forgetting to take doses throughout the day, and instead of making it up, I decided to cut myself down even further. So I went from taking 1/2 of an 8mg pill 3 times a day to wahat I am currently at which is 1/4 8mg pill 2 times a day. So I am currently at 4mg a day and have been there for 4 days, and for the most part feel fine. I have some episodes once or twice a day that fgeel like the start of withdrawal, and last for about 10 minutes at a time, but as I think back I think I felt the same thing at 12mg a day too. So I think I am ready to cut down again, But I am a little scared that things will get tougher and tougher for me as I go. I suppose I have worried myself with everybodies hooror stories of coming off of these. I am ready to get back to normal now. Thanks to anyone who read this.

FTC Seeks More Control Over Data Brokers3 Jun, 2014 By: Linda A. Goldstein
Consumer privacy and data security continues to be a top priority for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Now the Commission has expanded its efforts from enforcement to regulation by encouraging Congress to enact legislation designed to make data broker practices more visible to consumers and to give consumers more control over the amount of their personal information that is being collected and shared by data brokers. As Big Data continues to emerge as the primary currency on the Internet, these recommendations – if adopted – could create a sea change in the marketplace.
Last week, the FTC issued a report entitled, "Data Brokers: A Call for Transparency and Accountability," which is the result of a study conducted by the FTC on nine data brokers that supposedly represented a cross section of the industry. The brokers in the study included Acxiom, Datalogix and Intelius among others.
At the heart of the report is the FTC's conclusion about just how massive the amount of data being collected and shared is. For example, the report found that just one of the data brokers studied has information on 1.4 billion consumer transactions and 700 billion data elements – and adds more than 3 billion new data points to its database each month. The report contains a detailed analysis of how data brokers collect information, how data brokers share the information, how the data is analyzed, how it is used for marketing and how it is stored. Among the report's key conclusions are:
- Data brokers collect information from a vast array of online and offline sources, mostly without the consumer's knowledge. The data includes massive amounts of detail about consumers' everyday lives, including their purchases, their social media activity, their religious and political affiliations, warranty information and magazine subscriptions.
- The personal information is widely shared among the data brokers, again without consumer knowledge.
- Data brokers routinely combine online and offline data to market to consumers – thus, even if privacy policies are provided with respect to the collection of online data, consumers are not always aware of how that information is being combined with other data to provide the data broker with more information about the consumer.
- In many cases, the data is combined and analyzed by data brokers in a manner that allows them to make inferences about the consumer in sensitive areas such as ethnicity, income, religion, political preferences and health conditions.
- The data is not only being used for marketing purposes but is also being used in ways that a consumer may not reasonably anticipate. For example, the FTC noted that data on persons characterized as "biker enthusiasts" may not only be used to offer discounts on products targeted to that group but could be provided to an insurance company as a potential lead for high-risk insurance.
- Some brokers store the data indefinitely. The FTC has long taken the position in data breach cases that data should be readily disposed of when it is no longer needed.
In order to address these issues, the FTC recommended that Congress pass legislation that would provide consumers with greater insight into and control over the use of their information by data brokers. For data brokers that provide marketing products, the FTC recommended the following:
- A centralized portal where data brokers can identify themselves, describe their collection practices and provide opt-outs. The FTC would also require that all data brokers provide an opt-out tool.
- Require data brokers to give consumers access to their data, to disclose the names and categories of their data sources, and describe how they use the information, including any inferences drawn from the data collected.
- Require consumer-facing entities, like retailers who share information with data brokers to provide notice to the consumers with the ability to opt out. For sensitive information, opt-in would be required.
The report contains similar types of recommendations for brokers that provide risk-mitigation products and people searching products as well all designed to ensure that consumers understand in great detail what information is being collected and how it is being used and shared, as well as granting access to and the ability to opt-out of the sharing of such information.
Privacy and data security have long been a political football within Congress and despite many efforts by others, no broad based legislation has passed. Marketers will, however, need to keep a close eye on this issue, as the potential impact on marketers could be substantial.

Let's get physical with the Physical Internet initiative
The Physical Internet is a new and exciting initiative from the materials handling academic community.
Latest NewsImproved freight forwarding market has little impact on rates, says new report Biomass Business Study Uses Logistics as a Measure of Commercial Success Port of Oakland remains in strong expansion mode Corrugated Packaging Alliance releases new report showing industry's environmental progress Global ports sector faces structurally slower growth, says Fitch Ratings More News
Latest ResourceDigital Issue: The Current State of Third-Party Logistics Services It has become quite clear that logistics professionals are now facing an unprecedented set of challenges. From tightening capacity, to ongoing regulation hurdles, to the complexity brought on by e-commerce, today's shippers are transforming the way they manage their logistics operations.
All Resources
I love conferences and trade shows, and not just for the free meals and drinks. Sometimes I get excited by new products. But, sometimes I'm captivated by new ideas.
Last week in Charlotte, I sat in on a presentation about the Physical Internet initiative by Benoit Montreuil, a professor at Universite Laval in Quebec. Montreuil is one of nearly two dozen supply chain and materials handling academicians from around the world working on the project.
So, what is the Physical Internet. The project manifesto says that it is "Transforming the way physical object are handled, stored, moved, realized, supplied and used, aiming towards global efficiency and sustainability."
The idea is this: What if we moved physical goods through the supply chain in the same way we move digital information across the Internet.
The founders contend that there's a lot of wasted effort getting a product from Point A to Point B in today's supply chain that results from a lack of global standards as well as a lack of coordination. Trucks, for instance, often travel empty and take longer to deliver product than is necessary because one trucker may be responsible for delivering a load.
Instead, the Physical Internet would replicate what happens on the digital internet. For instance, when I send an e-mail, that message may be broken up into a bunch of individual packets that are sent separately and then reassembled when the message is delivered to my friend.
The Physical Internet could do the same thing by breaking a delivery into packets, or legs. Montreuil used the example of delivering a load from Quebec to Los Angeles. By breaking that trip into legs of say 250 miles, each trucker could drive round trip in a day and probably get a return load. Meanwhile, the load itself would be kept in motion, reducing delivery time by 40 or 50%. Transport packaging would be standard, which would allow for more efficient and cost effective materials and materials handling equipment. Each of the 500,000 + warehouses and distribution centers in North America would become potential dropoff or pickup locations. And, just as you and I may be on the Internet at some times, or, we drop off at others to do say word processing or spread sheets on our computer, loads and product could be in the Physical Internet, or drop out at periods while something happened to that product.
I can't do it justice, and would urge readers to check out the PowerPoint on the initiative website. While it is still a concept at this point, several corporations are providing support, including Walmart, as is the Material Handling Industry of America. I'm sure this will be years in development, if it goes anywhere, but it is an exciting and powerful idea.

Portugal's Oliveira cranking out the films at 100
By Axel Bugge
LISBON (Reuters Life!) - The grand old man of Portuguese film celebrated his 100th birthday on Thursday by starting production of his latest film.
For an industry preoccupied with youthful glamour, it is perhaps hard to imagine how Manoel de Oliveira can actually make films at all. But the hearty centenarian appears to have few secrets to his longevity other than a passion for film.
"This is the only day of the week that I rest," he told journalists on Saturday, when he interrupted his busy schedule to give a rare press conference.
Asked what his secret was to keep going at 100, he responded with dry wit: "It is work. The rest is eating, drinking sleeping, doing what other people do."
The man, who is feted like few others in his native Portugal, made his first film 77 years ago -- a 30-minute documentary about life on the Douro River.
Since then he has directed nearly 50 films and received numerous decorations, including two Golden Lions in Venice and a Golden Palm for his lifetime achievements this year in Cannes.
Most people would slow down with age, but Oliveira has done the opposite. Since 1990, he has made at least one film a year and there is no end in sight to his plans.
Last year he finished Christopher Columbus - the Enigma, a story which suggested Columbus was Portuguese. Oliveira and his wife also acted in the film. Continued...

On Tuesday, onlookers at Halifax provincial court got their first look at a man accused of that rarest of Canadian crimes: a kidnapping for ransom.
He was a mere teenager; a 19-year-old from across the harbour in Dartmouth. And far from cutting a fearsome underworld image, the man is not "known to police" — the typical shorthand for a career criminal.
Either way, whoever it was that donned black clothes and stormed into the mansion of one of Halifax's richest men, kidnapping was certainly not his strong suit.
Just after 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16, a man in black mask and black jacket pulled up outside 6400 Oakland Rd., grabbed an assault rifle and a pistol, and went inside. His target was homeowner Brad Langille, a wealthy gold mining executive.
When he came face to face with the millionaire, the masked man said, "You need to come with me right now," Mr. Langille told Halifax's Chronicle Herald the day after the incident. "And my intent was, I'm not going with him," Mr. Langille added.
The burly mining executive fought off the slim intruder "without injury," read a police statement — and also activated a panic button wired to the home's substantial security system. Neighbours spotted the intruder as he fled.
But he was long gone by the time police K9 units were on scene; investigators discovered that, in his haste, he had dropped his sidearm. To outward appearances it was a 9mm pistol, but in reality the weapon was an airsoft replica capable of firing only plastic pellets.
Speaking to reporters massed outside the mansion the next day, Mr. Langille said he was "OK" and that he was beefing up security.
Incredibly, six days later the hapless kidnapper returned with the exact same game plan: Force his way into the house in daylight, brandish a fake firearm and take Mr. Langille hostage.
This time, the mining executive was ready. As soon as the masked man stepped onto the property, a newly posted security detail stood ready to tackle him.
"They were able to physically take control of him, and when we arrived, we arrested him," said Const. Pierre Bourdages, spokesman for the Halifax Regional Police. They also seized his second gun: a replica assault rifle, also capable of firing only small plastic pellets.
A resident of Portland Hills Drive, a respectable suburban street in Dartmouth, the accused, Aaron MacDonald, is facing kidnapping, break and enter and weapons charges, not to mention "disguise with intent." A prospector, pilot and former wholesaler, Mr. Langille made his fortune as co-founder of Gammon Gold Inc. and Mexgold Resources Inc., where he helped develop two Mexican gold mines.
The suspect did not seem to have had any particular "beef" with Mr. Langille, said Const. Bourdages. "There's no reason to believe there's any connection between the two," he said.
Likely, he selected 6400 Oakland Rd. simply because it was one of the toniest houses in town.
The home is 15 minutes' walk from downtown and just steps from Dalhousie University. Since Confederation, the surrounding neighbourhood has hosted Halifax's wealthy — but Mr. Langille's ultra-modern glass-and-concrete home dwarfs even the grandest 19th-century brick mansion.
Largely hidden from the road, it towers over Northwest Arm, a small inlet off Halifax Harbour frequented by sailboats and pleasure craft. Any boat setting out to sea from the city's Armdale Yacht Club passes right by the landmark residence.
Ransom kidnappings of wealthy Canadians are rare — and notoriously amateur.
In 1934, beer magnate John Sackville Labatt became the target of Canada's first documented ransom kidnapping when he was abducted at gunpoint by a gang of former rum runners. He was released after three days when the kidnappers panicked at all the media attention they had generated.
In 1990 two men kidnapped the daughter of Vancouver billionaire Jim Pattison, releasing her after Mr. Pattison paid a $200,000 ransom. The kidnappers were quickly nabbed, however, after they were spotted spending their ill-gotten gains on a shopping spree.

Publication Acceptance Date: 1/16/2007
Publication Date: 4/1/2007
Citation: Handoo, Z.A., Khan, A., Islam, S. 2007. A key and compendium to the species of the genus merlinius siddiqi, 1970, with description of one new species parasitizing date palm. Nematology. 9(2):251-260. Interpretive Summary: Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic worms that cause an estimated crop loss of 10 billion dollars each year in the United States. Stunt nematodes (Merlinius spp.) are an important group that feeds on the roots of many kinds of plants worldwide. One problem with determining the extent of stunt nematode damage is that the stunt nematodes present in an area can be identified only with extreme difficulty. Therefore, specimens or pertinent literature of all described stunt nematode species were examined and evaluated in the present study. A new diagnostic aid or identification key of all these species was prepared, and a compendium providing the most important diagnostic characters of each species was developed as a useful supplement to the key. The identification key and compendium are significant because they provide the only accurate, all-inclusive guide to stunt nematode identification. This research will be used by scientists, action agencies and extension agencies involved in nematode research and control.
Technical Abstract: An identification key to 32 valid species of stunt nematodes (Merlinius spp.) is given. A compendium of the most important diagnostic characters for use in identification of species is included as a practical alternative and supplement to the key. The diagnosis of Merlinius is emended, and a list of all the valid species of the genus is given. The characters most useful for separating species include body and stylet lengths, shape of head, tail and tail terminus, number of head and tail annules, position of vulva (V%), and T/ABW ratio in females. Also useful are length and shape of spicules and gubernacula in males. A new stunt nematode, Merlinius khuzdarensis n. sp., is described, photographed and illustrated and was found around the soil and roots of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) from Khuzdar, Baluchistan Province, Pakistan. This new species resembles M. bavaricus, M. communicus, M. bilqeesae and M. montanus, but differs from these species by the following: body and stylet length, shape of head, tail and tail terminus, number of head and tail annules, position of phasmids and by their vastly different habitat. Because this species is limited in distribution, its economic importance in date palm and other cultivated crops within the region is not known.

Airlines set the rules for how many bags you may check in and for possible related charges. The rules vary according to frequent flyer status, the product you have purchased and the route upon which you fly.
Your bag should weigh less than
23KG/50LBS. This is an international regulation set for the health and safety of airport workers who have to lift hundreds of bags daily. If your bag weighs more than this, you may be asked to repack, or have it labeled as "heavy luggage".
The maximum weight however is 32KG/70LBS in the EU and the US. Some airlines impose lower limits. Refer to the airline website and your conditions of carriage.
Airlines set cabin baggage rules in order to comply with space at disposal in the aircraft and as a matter of commercial policy.
Carry-on baggage must be stowed in the cabin, which limits baggage to a size, weight and shape to fit under a passenger seat, or in a storage compartment. Some aircraft have very limited cabin baggage space, and even on larger aircraft, your bag may be taken from you. .
If you are changing carriers during your journey you may be asked to check some of your cabin baggage as each airline will apply their own policy to the their own flights. It is worth checking with your airline(s) before you travel as to their policies.
Airlines set their own baggage rules and IATA plays no role in this activity. Instead, IATA is focused on developing best practices for baggage operations. As a result of joint efforts in coordination with our member airlines, baggage mishandling was reduced from 18.88 bags per 1000 passengers to 5.73 between 2007 and 2016.
Occurrences of mishandled baggage have drastically dropped in the past years. And lost baggage are generally the consequence of the baggage label having detached from the bag. To allow identification of your bag in all situations, make sure to have your name and telephone number appear outside of your bag and a copy of your travel itinerary inside your bag. When there is no other way to identify your luggage, the airline will have to break it open and this identification piece will be crucial to returning your belongings.
Some governments have directed that for safety reasons, all knives, sharp objects or cutting implements of any kind and of any length, whether of metal or other material, and some sporting goods must be packed in
checked baggage. They cannot be carried in the cabin baggage nor on your person.
These items include (but are not limited to) knives (including household cutlery) and knife-like objects, box cutters, corkscrews, straight razors, metal nail files, scissors of any kind and of any length, dangerous goods (hazardous materials (unless approved)), tradesmen's tools, hypodermic needles (unless required for medical reasons), knitting needles, other sharp pointed/penetrating objects and sporting goods such as bats, bows and arrows, cues, darts, golf clubs and sling shots (catapults), martial arts devices, real/toy/replica weapons (whether plastic or metal). These articles are likely to be removed and not returned.
If you require the use of medical syringes in flight, such as for insulin, you need documented proof of the medical need and ensure that the material is professionally packed and labelled. If it is not, the medication is likely to be removed.
Some items cannot be carried in checked baggage – for instance gas canisters, lighters, fireworks. If you are concerned that something that you wish to pack may not be allowed, check with your airline. Items that are considered to be too dangerous for checked baggage will be removed and probably not returned to you.
Check with your travel agent or directly with the airline concerned.
